Abstract:

Rockhampton City's colourful and controversial Alderman Rex Pilbeam, qualified public accountant and secretary, longest-serving mayor (1952–82) of any Australian city, took office when Rockhampton was burdened with heavy municipal debt, poor quality roads, costly water supply, little sewerage, and few recreational facilities. However, Pilbeam's vision, single-minded devotion, unflagging energy, political skill, and managerial flair brought a dramatic turnaround in the city's fortunes. Continuing after retirement with voluntary community service until his mid-eighties, the Pilbeam legacy to Rockhampton is everywhere in evidence.

Abstract:

Two field experiments examined the effect of dung fauna on the breeding success of Haematobia irritans exigua DeMeijere at Rockhampton, Australia, and Haematobia thirouxi potans (Bezzi) at Hluhluwe Game Reserve, Republic of South Africa. Dung pads naturally infested with Haematobia eggs were produced by cattle at Rockhampton and by Cape buffalo at Hluhluwe. Pads were either exposed to, or protected from, all dung fauna for various periods up to four days. The effect of dung fauna on the immature stages of Haematobia spp. was estimated from differences in the numbers and size of flies that emerged from treated and control pads. In the first experiment, pads produced during the morning and afternoon were exposed for one, two or four days on seven different occasions. At Rockhampton, fauna-induced mortality was substantial but did not increase significantly after the pads had been exposed for one day. At Hluhluwe, in pads produced during the morning, fauna-induced mortality rose substantially with duration of exposure; in afternoon pads the increase was not statistically significant. Fly size, indicated by the mean headcapsule width of surviving females, decreased as exposure of pads to dung fauna increased from zero to four days, except in the afternoon pads at Rockhampton. In the second experiment, pads produced in the afternoon were exposed in the field for four days on 16 occasions at Rockhampton, and on 17 at Hluhluwe. Fauna-induced mortality averaged 79% and 84%, respectively. The activities of the dung fauna reduced the headcapsule widths of surviving flies by an average 2% at Rockhampton and by 7% at Hluhluwe, despite similar levels of dung dispersal. The dung fauna associated with the highest mortality of H. irriatans exigua at Rockhampton were Scarabaeinae and Macrocheles spp., while there were no significant associations between fly mortality and particular fauna in the Hluhluwe data.

Abstract:

Glenn R. Cooke curated ‘Lady Woodcarvers of Rockhampton’, an exhibition held at the Rockhampton Art Gallery from 7 April to 28 May, 2000. The exhibition ‘Lady woodcarvers of Rockhampton’ opened at the Rockhampton Art Gallery on 8 April as that institution's major contribution to a series of events to celebrate ‘Beef 2000’. For those who attended the opening, apart from the descendants of the woodcarvers themselves, it was a revelation. Although the exhibition only included twenty-five items, most were on a scale that commanded the space of the Gallery. The display included two wardrobes, two settles, a twotiered cupboard, a kitchen dresser, chest of drawers and double bed as well as coffee tables, chairs, small tables, cupboards and a paper-rack. Until this exhibition, the history of woodcarving in Central Queensland had never been documented.

Full text

Abstract:

In 1963, Rockhampton was chosen by the Australian Broadcasting Commission to become its first television station in Queensland. ABC Rockhampton TV belonged to a select number of outlets that, in the days before aggregation and extensive networking, gathered and broadcast their own news and local programs to regional viewers. This article details the unearthing and preservation of records vital to this research, and uses these to document the highs and lows of the Rockhampton station. We argue that the history of ABC Rockhampton TV forms a neglected chapter in the ‘getting of regional television’ and the production of local content, and provides an account of the early operations of the organisation from its inception in 1963, an overview of its achievements and an explanation of the reasons for its abrupt demise in the mid-1980s. Additionally, we identify the achievements of particular programs and staff members, and acknowledge the personal tragedies that dogged the station and its community in the closing phase.

Abstract:

The distribution, abundance and habitat of the magpie goose, Anseranas semipalmata, were studied from February 1987 to March 1990 and examined in relation to season, rainfall and evaporation, and the availability of sedges (Eleocharis spp.) in the Rockhampton area on the central Queensland coast. Seasonal fluctuations in abundance of the magpie goose were correlated with the 12-month cumulative difference between rainfall and evaporation in Rockhampton. Large flocks (>500 magpie geese) were observed on Eleocharis spp. and open water during the wet season, and on mud during the dry season.

Abstract:

Objectives:To describe the effectiveness of a multi-strategy physical activity (PA) intervention.Methods:Self-report data from random samples were collected prior to and following intervention. Social marketing, healthcare provider, and environmental strategies were concurrently implemented with a central coordinating theme of “10,000 Steps Rockhampton.”Results:There was evidence of significant project reach and awareness. The downward trend in PA seen in the comparison community (48.3% to 41.9% “active”) was not evident in Rockhampton. Women were the “early adopters” in this project; with an increase of 5% (95% CI: –0.6, 10.6) in the percent categorized as “active” (compared with decreases among women in the comparison community and among men in both communities).Conclusions:High levels of project awareness, combined with modest increases in activity levels in women, demonstrate initial project effects. Longer term interventions, focusing on sustainable individual, social, and environmental change strategies are needed to maintain and improve this result.

Abstract:

As social practice the consumption of food demonstrates the fundamentally social nature of the human body and subjectivity. Through eating, individuals are both incorporated into global networks of production and exchange, and incorporate themselves the meanings associated with those foods. Consumption is also, however, a spatially and temporally situated practice. This article argues that space and time must be analysed not only as sites at which food is consumed – with a view to mapping variability – but as social constructions that are themselves consumed and imbued with meaning. They are both signifier and signified. It goes on to explore the ways in which residents of Rockhampton (the ‘Beef Capital’ of Australia) constructed the ‘place’ in which they lived and their own food consumption practices. Residents demonstrated a high degree of reflexivity in their awareness of wider networks of social relations and the manner in which the identity of the ‘Beef Capital’ was itself consumed by ‘outsiders’ but, according to some, were rather less reflexive in their acceptance of the masculinist symbolism of beef and the experiences of marginalized groups within Rockhampton.

Abstract:

Commercial FM stations in Rockhampton, Sea FM and Hot FM, have been operating in the city since late 2000. Previously owned by competing networks (Sea FM by RG Capital Radio and Hot FM by DMG), they are both now owned by Macquarie Regional Radioworks. The push for listeners has always been through the stations’ breakfast programs. Traditionally, commercial FM breakfast slots have been marked by comedy or humour-oriented teams. Interaction with these teams in a metropolitan environment has not been studied academically, but studies of interaction between listeners and presenters of breakfast programs in the Rockhampton and Gladstone region reveal that talkback in a traditional sense has emerged as a vital component of the programs, at times focusing on serious local issues. This paper reveals the results of analysis of interaction between listeners and breakfast presenters on Hot FM and Sea FM. It shows that the commercial FM stations provide an important opportunity for locals to voice their opinions on local issues in a format generally renowned for its light-hearted approach to engaging listeners. Where previously ‘talkback’ has been associated with ABC and commercial AM stations, this paper will consider definitions of talkback in terms of its application in a regional setting, and reveals the popularity of the format for a demographic previously ignored in the Central Queensland media landscape.

Lance Fallaw was born in Gateshead in the north of England in 1876. He graduated in Arts at the University of Durham, developing a deep love of English literature which he carried with him for the rest of his life as an itinerant literary journalist. In 1900, after working for a few years in Newcastle-on-Tyne, he took his leave of Britain forever, first going to South Africa, where he worked as a journalist, mainly in Durban, for about six years, thence to Rockhampton in 1906.

Abstract:

Recently I had the opportunity to visit Tarumbal Kindergarten/Preschool in Rockhampton. It is a kindergarten that enrols young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. A few of the children that attend the centre are related and this makes it feel like a big family. I observed and interacted with the children once a week for four weeks. In that short time the children grew to like me and accept me into their group. I felt that I was treated as a part of their extended family.

Abstract:

Australia is perceived by many as the 'lucky' country and the image that has been portrayed to the rest of the world is one that projects a nation of tanned, active, healthy, and sports-loving individuals. This image is outdated and instead Australia is a nation with a national health problem. The health problem is having an impact which is increasingly problematic for governments. It has long been recognised that primary prevention, can be developed in two ways: by using a whole of population approach or through selective targeting (Naidoo & Wills, 1998). Within this context, this paper has chosen to explore and discuss a selective targeting approach through a case analysis of cardiovascular disease in regional Australia. In Australia, cardiovascular disease continues to be one of the major causes of death. This fact is a matter of great concern to all Australians but is particularly significant for people living in the regional city of Rockhampton, Central Queensland, where the death rate from cardiovascular disease is significantly higher than it is for the rest of the state of Queensland (354.4 deaths per 100,000 people per year compared with 310.6, Harper & Taylor, 1997, p. 21). The high death rate from heart disease in Queensland is even higher than the Australian average (Harper & Taylor, 1997, p. 22). Research previously conducted has revealed certain trends regarding cardiovascular disease. This research extends the available knowledge by measuring the cost in economic terms to the community. The findings explain the implications for Rockhampton employers and places regional health professionals in a better position to develop further research as well as to implement and explain alternative health strategies.

Full text

Abstract:

Within Australia the northern short-nosed bandicoot, Isoodon macrourus, occurs in coastal areas from the Kimberleys to the monsoonal tropics of the Northern Territory and from Cape York Peninsula to the Hawkesbury River, New South Wales (Gordon 1983). The reproductive ecology of I. macrourus has been studied in two captive (Hall 1983; Gemmell 1988) and five natural populations (Gordon 1971, 1974; Gemmell 1982; Hall 1983; Friend 1990; Kem- per et al. 1990; Budiawan 1993). Three of the latter (Darwin, the Mitchell Plateau and Townsville) were in the tropics; breeding at these sites occurred dur- ing the wetter months of the year but not during the summer of 1982/3 in Darwin when the monsoon failed (Friend 1990) or during the relatively dry winter/spring of 1991 in Townsville (Budiawan 1993), suggesting a dependence on rainfall (Friend 1990; Budiawan 1993). We report on differences in the reproduction, growth and development of I. macrourus in Rockhampton, Queensland, from March - October 1993 at four adjacent sites which received different amounts of artificial watering.

Abstract:

Provenance trials of Eucalyptus microtheca F. Muell. were established in the central Coastal Plain and the northern Negev in 1983, using the seed of 303 trees from 73 provenances in Australia bulked into 21 provenance groups by the CSIRO Division of Forest Research. Survival, height, and diameter development of E. microtheca in the central Coastal Plain were lower than those of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn. In the northern Negev, several progenies of E. microtheca had better growth and survival rates than E. camaldulensis. Variations within provenance groups in growth and survival were very large. Relations between the measured traits and variables describing the seed source of E. microtheca indicate the existence of latitudinal and longitudinal clines. Provenance groups most suitable for use in the northern Negev are Springsure, Qld. (No.14), Rockhampton, Qld. (No. 15), and Walgett, N.S.W. (No. 20).

Abstract:

Indigenous participation in employment has long been seen as an indicator of Indigenous economic participation in Australia. Researchers have linked participation in employment to improved health outcomes, increased education levels and greater self-esteem. There has been a dramatic increase in the number of Indigenous workforce policies and employment strategies as employers and industries attempt to employ more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Coupled with this has been a push to employ more Indigenous people in specific sectors to address the multiple layers of disadvantage experienced by Indigenous people, for example, the health sector. This paper draws on interview discussions with Aboriginal women in Rockhampton, Central Queensland, along with findings from the research of others to offer a greater understanding of the mixed benefits of increased Indigenous employment. What is demonstrated is that the nature of Indigenous employment is complex and not as simple as ‘just getting a job’.

Full text

Abstract:

Genetic variation among the principal members of the white-browed scrubwren (Sericornis frontalis) complex was assessed by protein electrophoresis. A total of 31 enzyme systems, representing 49 presumptive loci, was screened electrophoretically and analysed by conventional genetic distance measures. Differentiation equivalent to species level was recorded between the Tasmanian form humilis and allotaxa on the Australian mainland. Among mainland forms (laevigaster in the north-east, nominotypical frontalis in the south-east and maculatus in the south-west) differentiation was at a much lower order, equivalent to that between subspecies. The small sample of frontalis isolated in the Mt Lofty Ranges (rosinae), nevertheless, exhibited marked divergence in proteins. Changes in alleles at the aldolase locus confirm that laevigaster and nominotypical frontalis intergrade secondarily, but between 27-degrees-S. (Brisbane-Dalby) and 23-degrees-S. (Rockhampton-Emerald), well to the north of previously postulated zones of introgression.

Abstract:

This article derives from an ongoing project to map regional print culture in twentieth-century Queensland. An essentially qualitative methodology combined survey questionnaires with selected follow-up interviews. Conscious of the focus on metropolitan reading within existing Australia Council studies (1990, 1995), we were keen to explore issues of cultural consumption, distribution, exchange and community identity in a regional context. Subsequently, however, we interrogated the notion of regionality itself and identified a reading sub-group within the larger sample of fifty responses, living outside larger regional centres like Rockhampton and Townsville. The study documents and explores reading patterns of this rural group whose experiences can all too easily be subsumed within the broader ‘regional’ category. Lyons' and Taksa's valuable study of New South Wales, Australian Readers Remember, makes this assumption, admitting to ‘a definite bias in favour of Sydney at the expense of country districts’ while acknowledging that ‘cultural attitudes differ in rural environments’ (1992: 22–23).

Abstract:

In Australia the future demand for energy is predicted to increase rapidly. Conventional energy resources soaring prices and environmental impact have increased the interest in renewable energy technology. As a result of that the Australian government is promoting renewable energy; such as wind, geothermal, solar and hydropower. These types of energy are believed to be cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Renewable energy availability is controlled by climatic conditions such as solar radiation, wind speed and temperature. This paper aims to assess the potential of renewable energy resources, in particular wind and solar energy in an Australian subtropical region (Central and North Queensland) namely, Gladstone, Emerald, Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Townsville, and Cairns. Analysis is done by using the latest statistical state of Queensland energy information, along with measured data history of wind speed, solar irradiations, air temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure for those sites. This study has also shown that national assessments of solar and wind energy potential can be improved by improving local climatic data assessments using spatial databases of Central and North Queensland areas.

Abstract:

The Central Queensland University (CQU) has championed a self-contained concrete lined evapotranspiration channel. Any non-transpired effluent returns to a holding tank and is recirculated through the evapotranspiration channel until it is used. This paper examines the results from the Rockhampton trial site. Nutrient ions in the effluent were quantified over time and found not to accumulate in solution. Microbial analysis of the treated effluent was performed and was found to be within the ranges required by the relevant legislative codes. Citrus fruit grown in the evapotranspiration channel were sampled and no elevated levels of faecal coliforms were recorded. Macronutrients and micronutrients of the soil in the channels were measured over a 5-year period. No toxic accumulations or nutrient deficiencies in the soil occurred. Levels of salinity and sodicity in the evapotranspiration channel soil were quantified. Salinity rose slightly, as did sodium. Concentrations of salts and sodium did not reach unsustainable levels. The aim of the trial was to develop an on-site treatment and reuse system that is sustainable and protects public and environmental health.

Full text

Abstract:

The social wasp Vespula germanica (F.) occurs throughout Europe south of latitude 62-degrees-N. Its native distribution extends into northern Africa, the Middle East, northern India, China and Korea. It has been accidentally introduced into several regions, including North and South America, and South Africa. It has also been introduced to Australasia, where it became established in Tasmania in 1959 and at several Australian mainland localities during 1977-78. It is now widespread throughout Victoria, in much of southern and coastal New South Wales, and in some suburbs of Adelaide and Per-th. One nest has been recorded in Maryborough, Queensland. The observed global distribution is used here to determine the potential distribution and relative abundance of V. germanica in Australia using the climate-matching computer program CLIMEX. The results indicate that this pestiferous wasp could potentially colonise most of the eastern seaboard of Australia north to Rockhampton, Queensland. V. germanica is likely to adversely affect human activities, with accompanying environmental damage as it inevitably spreads and consolidates, and prospects for containment and control appear minimal.

Full text

Abstract:

Queen's Park in Maryborough is one of many public gardens established in the nineteenth century in Queensland: in Brisbane, Ipswich, Toowoomba, Warwick, Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns and Cooktown. They were created primarily as places of horticultural experimentation, as well as for recreational purposes. They formed a local area network, with the Brisbane Botanic Garden and the Government Botanist, Walter Hill, at the centre – at least in the 1870s. From here, the links extended to other botanic gardens in Australia, and beyond Australia to the British colonial network managed through the Royal Botanic Gardens (RBG), Kew. It was an informal network, supplying a knowledge of basic economic botany that founded many tropical agricultural industries and also provided much-needed recreational, educational and inspirational opportunities for colonial newcomers and residents. The story of these parks, from the time when they were first set aside as public reserves by the government surveyors to the present day, is central to the history of urban planning in regional centres. This article provides a statewide overview together with a more in-depth examination of Maryborough's own historic Queen's Park.

Abstract:

For cattle raised in tropical and subtropical environments, production can be limited by the susceptibility of many breeds to parasites. Chemical control, coupled with the use of breeds with higher levels of resistance to parasites, allows beef production to be a viable industry, but at a cost. The Hereford Shorthorn (HS) line of beef cattle at Rockhampton has been used extensively to study genetic aspects of parasite resistance. The hypothesis that a gene with a large effect on resistance to cattle ticks is segregating in this line of cattle has been raised in the past, and is considered again here, with the benefit of data recorded up to the late 1990s. A model in which no major gene effect is fitted provides a satisfactory fit to the data, providing little evidence in support of the segregation of major genes for resistance to either ticks or worms in the HS line. This conclusion is supported by the lack of animals of extreme resistance in later generations, an unlikely result if key animals are assumed to be homozygous in earlier generations.

Abstract:

In-water monitoring of marine vertebrates is usually expensive while the use of stranding data can be used to provide a cost-effective estimation of disease and mortality. Strandings for Queensland are recorded in a web based database (StrandNet) managed by the Queensland Government’s Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP). Data recorded in StrandNet from the east coast of Queensland between 1996 and 2013 were investigated for patterns of stranding. Significant trends in Queensland over this time were (i) an increase in the number of animals reported stranded within this study site; (ii) a species (loggerhead and green marine turtles) prevalence; (iii) a seasonal effect on different age classes stranding with most overall strandings occurring between August and November; and (iv) stranding hotspots (Moreton Bay, Hervey Bay, Rockhampton region, and Cleveland Bays) persisting throughout the study timeframe. This study suggested that intervention strategies, such as rehabilitation, should be able to be focussed on periods of heightened importance and specific localities to minimize health risks and contribute to sustainable use of resources.

Abstract:

The influence of scotoperiod, ambient temperature and humidity on the activity of captive wombats was examined to differentiate environmental influence from that pertaining to food availability. The activity of 12 wombats (Lasiorhinus latifrons) housed at Rockhampton Zoo was remotely monitored by digital video-surveillance for one year, with environmental variables simultaneously recorded via dataloggers. Mean proportion of total daily time spent active was 18.2 ± 1.8%. Mean daily time spent active varied seasonally according to changes in temperature and humidity. Mean daily activity was greater during winter (301 ± 17 min) and spring (295 ± 16 min), than summer (234 ± 16 min) and autumn (238 ± 15 min) with differences due to a decrease in the number and length of activity bouts in summer and autumn; presumably these results reflect a need to maintain heat balance associated with exposure to elevated temperatures. Activity was positively correlated with temperature during winter (r = 0.60) and spring (r = 0.52) but negatively correlated during summer (r = –0.58) and autumn (r = –0.49), suggesting the existence of a thermoneutral zone where activity is maximised. We conclude that activity in captive wombats is influenced by environmental variables.

Full text

Abstract:

Twenty two populations of Eucalyptus urophylla, 13 of E. pellita and two of E. scias were selected throughout the species' natural distributions in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Australia, and the morphology of seedlings compared under greenhouse conditions. Leaf length, width, length/width ratio, base angle, stem shape and, to a lesser extent, intranode length provided good discrimination between species and provenances. Canonical variate analysis revealed four groups, two of which contain E. urophylla, one E. pellita and one E. scias. Wetar Island provenances formed one of the two E. urophylla groups, distinguished from the other group consisting of Alor, Adonara, Flores, Pantar and Timor provenances on the basis of narrower leaves, greater length/width ratios, more acute leaf base angles and square stems. Seedling leaves of E. pellita were generally longer and broader than the other species, with a tendency for a separation between the northern occurrences (New Guinea and northern Cape York Peninsula, Queensland) and southern occurrences (Helenvale to Rockhampton, Queensland); those from the north had smaller leaves and more distinctly square stems. E. scias is clearly distinguished by its narrower leaves and longer intranode length.

Full text

Abstract:

Isolates of zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) were obtained from six cucurbit species from four states of Australia and identified by host range, electron microscopy and serology. A survey of coastal Queensland in 1986-87 showed no ZYMV north of Townsville nor around Rockhampton, but major centres of ZYMV incidence with specific pathotypes, around Ayr, Bowen and in south-east Queensland. Pathotypes were distinguished using Cucumis melo differentials, Trichosanthes anguina and Phaseolus vulgaris. Three ZYMV isolates were compared with watermelon mosaic virus 2 and papaya ringspot virus, cucurbit strain, on 20 hosts from 5 families. The effect of ZYMV on 19 cvv. of pumpkin, squash, zucchini, cucumber, rockmelon and watermelon was examined in the field where marketable fruit production was most affected in Cucurbita maxima and C. pepo, moderately in C. melo and Citrullus lanatus and least in C. moschata and C. sativus. One instance of ZYMV seed transmission in C. pepo and transmission by Aphisgossypii was demonstrated. Resistance breeding progress with C. maxima using a C. ecuadorensis source and in C. lanatus using Citrullus sp. cv. Egusi is reported. Virus purification was achieved using carbon tetrachloride and Triton X-100 clarification with sucrose pad and gradient centrifugations. An antiserum was produced and reacted well in agarose gel-diffusion tests without prior virus particle disruption.
