Abstract:
Natural gas has been discovered in 22 fields in the Central Eromanga and Cooper Basins of southwestern Queensland in the area comprised by ATP 259P. Proved, probable and possible reserves in excess of 36 × 109 m3 (1.27 TCF) are located in four discrete structural provinces. Fluvial sandstones of the Early Permian Patchawarra Formation and Late Permian Toolachee Formation contain the majority of the reserves. Minor amounts of gas are reservoired in the Early Permian Epsilon Formation, the Early-Middle Triassic Nappamerri Formation and the Early Jurassic Hutton Sandstone and Birkhead Formation. Considerable gas-liquids reserves are also found in these reservoirs.Existing reserves are located primarily in structural traps although lithofacies variations are widely recognised, particularly in the Patchawarra Formation, indicating both new play opportunities and difficulties in assessing the undiscovered gas potential of the permit. Additional gas potential is identified in flank areas of the more prominent structural axes such as the Jackson-Wackett-Innamincka Trend in fault-bounded, pinchout and sub-unconformity trapping configurations.More than 200 prospects and leads are identified with the potential to entrap approximately 51 × 109 m3 (1.80 TCF) of gas on an unrisked basis. When combined with reserves from established fields, the ultimate potential of the ATP is assessed as 87 × 109 m3 (8.10 TCF).Despite the very high success rate of previous exploration and appraisal programs, the ultimate gas potential of the Queensland portion of both the Cooper and Eromanga Basins has been only partially addressed. Exploration and appraisal programs providing future additions to proved and probable reserves are considered low risk and are dependent upon an agreement with the Queensland government that would enable the ATP holders to produce and sell gas interstate.

Abstract:
The South West Queensland Gas Project is the first greenfield gas development in the Cooper Basin for around 10 years. This has allowed a decade of operating experience from wet gas fields in the region to be applied in the design of the new facility. The design also took into consideration potential future expansion of the facility for increased throughput and the production of sales gas to service markets to the east and north.A greenfield hydrocarbon development in such a remote location is much more than just a gathering system and processing facility. A full range of infrastructure was also developed including telecommunications, roads, airstrip, accommodation and utilities.The project offered opportunities for a wide variety of Australian vendors and construction contractors. Many demonstrated a high level of capability to meet the cost, schedule and quality demands of a hydrocarbon development in the 1990s. Unfortunately, a number failed to demonstrate that capability.

Full text
Abstract:
A grazing study conducted between 1979 and 1983 assessed the seasonal trends of ewe productivity in Astrebla grassland in south- western Queensland. This study was designed originally to compare productivity on two pastures with different compositions, however, these differences in pastures composition were not achieved. Large differences in liveweight, wool growth and reproductive performance occurred between years in response to differences in pasture growth resulting from large variation in the seasonal incidence of rainfall. Rainfall effective for plant growth, both forbs and grasses, resulted in a high quality diet which resulted, in turn, in increased sheep productivity. Reproductive performance was particularly sensitive to the quality of the ewes diet around the time of lambing through the effect of diet quality on lamb survival and growth rate. It is suggested that the effect of rainfall on reproductive performance is pasture.

Abstract:
The dusky hopping mouse (Notomys fuscus) is present in the arid areas of South Australian, north-west New South Wales and south-west Queensland. In October-November 2007 during the seventh year of annual fauna monitoring on the Beverley mine lease, north of Lake Frome, 4 animals were detected. The closest known population is 70 km north-east. Heavy rainfall earlier in the year may have contributed to their presence.

Full text
Abstract:
The Stokes gas field is located in South West Queensland permit ATP 259P, close to the South Australia/Queensland state border. It was discovered and successfully appraised by the Stokes-1,-2 and -3 wells drilled during 1993 and early 1994. Productive zones, with DST flow rates of up to 237 x 103m3/d, are present in the Early Permian Epsilon and Patchawarra formations with moderate gas liquids contents present in the higher reservoirs. A total net pay thickness of 63 m occurs in Stokes-2. Generally, reservoir quality is moderate to good with core permeabilities occasionally exceeding one darcy. Some low deliverability Patchawarra Formation reservoirs are present which contain greater than 20 per cent kaolin. These microporous reservoirs are characterised by low resistivity responses similar to that of water saturated reservoirs.The field's discovery coincided with the onset of renewed South West Queensland gas exploration. Seismic data were recorded in 1990 and 1992 to mature the Stokes prospect to drillable status. The structure had been recognised as being highly prospective due to its regional setting. Proved and probable gas-in-place exceeds 5.7 x 109 m3 which approximates the highside case estimated from pre-drill probabilistic reserves distributions.Comprehensive reservoir pressure data were obtained from each well and were instrumental in locating appraisal wells and demonstrating that reservoirs are filled to the structural spill point. The Stokes-3 results indicate that some fault compartmentalisation may occur suggesting a more complex structure than originally mapped. Isolation of other reservoirs may also occur between Stokes-1 and -2.

Full text
Abstract:
Five fully-cored and wire-line logged stratigraphic bores have been drilled by the Queensland Department of Mines, relatively close to producing oil fields in the Eromanga Basin, south-west Queensland. Correlations between the stratigraphic bores and petroleum wells have established lithologic control in an area where lithostratigraphy is interpreted mainly from wire-line logs. The Eromanga Basin sequence below the Wallumbilla Formation has been investigated, and a uniform lithostratigraphic nomenclature has been applied; in the past, an inconsistent nomenclature system was applied in different petroleum wells.Accumulation of the Eromanga Basin sequence was initiated in the early Jurassic by major epeirogenic downwarping; in the investigation area the pre-Eromanga Basin surface consists mainly of rocks comprising the Thargomindah Shelf and the Cooper Basin. The lower Eromanga Basin sequence in the area onlaps the Thargomindah Shelf and thickens relatively uniformly to the north-west. The sequence comprises mainly Jurassic/Cretaceous terrestrial units in which vertical and lateral distribution is predominantly facies-controlled. These are uniformly overlain by the mainly paralic Cadna-owie Formation, signalling the initiation of a major Cretaceous transgression over the basin.The terrestrial sequence over most of the area comprises alternating coarser and finer-grained sedimentary rocks, reflecting major cyclical changes in the energy of the depositional environment. The Hutton Sandstone, Adori Sandstone and 'Namur Sandstone Member' of the Hooray Sandstone comprise mainly sandstone, and reflect high energy fluvial depositional environments. Lower energy fluvial and lacustrine conditions are reflected by the finer-grained sandstone, siltstone and mudstone of the Birkhead and Westbourne Formations, and 'Murta Member' of the Hooray Sandstone. Similar minor cycles are represented in the 'basal Jurassic' unit. The Algebuckina Sandstone, recognised only in the far south-west of the investigation area, comprises mainly fluvial sandstones.

Full text
Abstract:
The South West Queensland Pipeline project has set a new benchmark for Aboriginal involvement in corridor project planning and construction in Australia.Before the final pipeline alignment was decided, Tenneco Energy Australia (now Epic Energy), the Queensland Government and the Goolburri Aboriginal Corporation Land Council arranged for Aboriginal Researchers to conduct a foot survey along a 200 in wide corridor for the full 756 km of the pipeline route. The final alignment was selected to avoid all cultural heritage sites identified by the Aboriginal Researchers.At the commencement of the construction phase, a Cultural Heritage Management Plan (CHMP) covering construction activities was developed. Key components were as follows:Goolburri Aboriginal Corporation Land Council engaged as a service provider to provide Aboriginal Researchers, a Cultural Heritage Management Officer (CHMO), and an auditor for the project;Four Aboriginal monitors to be present on the project during clear, grade and trenching activities;An archaeologist to be present on the project to coordinate Aboriginal monitoring and cultural heritage management activities;A cultural heritage management audit to be conducted at the end of each four-week work cycle to identify non-conformances with the CHMP and recommend improvements;Cultural awareness training to be undertaken by the workforce and presented by Aboriginal representatives; andInstant dismissal provisions for serious infringements of the CHMP.The cultural heritage clearance process and the CHMP were probably the most extensive ever implemented for a pipeline project in Australia in terms of the extent and nature of Aboriginal involvement. Despite this, there was ongoing concern about whether the appropriate Aboriginal groups were being involved in the project. Cultural heritage management of the project became linked to the question of traditional association with the land and native title rights. Disparate views about the rights of different Aboriginal groups continually emerged.Of particular note was a tribal boundary dispute which resulted in prematurely closing down the first cycle of construction and leapfrogging the 108 km stretch under dispute to provide Aboriginal groups with time to resolve the issue. This action directly resulted in additional project costs (construction rescheduling and backtracking crews) in the order of $5 million.This case study will look particularly at:the process of cultural clearance and cultural heritage management which evolved for the project;issues associated with establishing appropriate Aboriginal representation for involvement in the project;native title claims; andsuggestions for improving management of native title, cultural heritage and Aboriginal involvement issues for future projects.

Abstract:
To develop a sustainable future for the rangelands, partnerships are needed — partnerships between scientists, policy makers, visitors, and most significantly, the various communities of people who live and work in the rangelands. The views of these people are as variable as the country about which they care; rangeland communities are not homogeneous. The power relations between these people are at the base of many conflicts. How we handle the relationships between these groups, and manage these conflicts, are crucial for success in land management. ¶ The first part of this thesis reviews the history of both community participation and power theory. While participatory approaches are part of the rhetoric in Australian land management, proponents are generally naïve about the complexities of power and power relations. The philosophical literature highlights that power is a contested concept; and these divisions are epitomised by the works of Habermas and Foucault. Their writings are compared and contrasted to provide a rich understanding of power relations in community participation. ¶ Power relations influence whose voices are heard: those who exercise power, and the sets of rules that define what is seen as true or false at any given time in history. Power relations also determine whose knowledge is incorporated in land management policy and practice. The model proposed in this thesis demonstrates that power relations interact with every dimension of community participation: context, goals, scale, stage, who is involved, the capacity of those involved, and the methods used. ¶ Research was undertaken within agricultural and natural resource management programs and projects in south-west Queensland. A variety of participatory approaches are used by government agencies to encourage grazier participation and the adoption of more sustainable practices, such as Landcare, Bestprac and the regional groups, such as the South West Strategy. While government staff in south-west Queensland purport to share decision-making power with landholders, landholders tend to have different perspectives about the level of power that is being shared. ¶ One of the key findings of this research is that power is not static within any project. Rather, power is ultradynamic, fluid, and highly dependent on context. In terms of land management programs, the levels of power sharing fluctuate over time and between actors. The micro-physics of power, or the power relations among individuals, are often invisible to, or neglected by, the facilitators of land management programs. ¶ Government agencies tend to focus on the processes used, and on finding the best participatory methods, rather than on the individuals who implement the process or the individuals who participate. Greater flexibility is needed in approaches to land management; correspondingly, greater responsibility is needed from all individuals who have a stake in it. To find sustainable solutions for the rangelands and its people, all involved in participatory land management projects need to better understand the dynamics of power, so as to manage any negative effects.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to explore the role of the Church in rural areas with specific reference to the South West region of Queensland and focusing on the provision of social welfare services. The region of Queensland, described by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as the South West, lies to the west of Brisbane, commencing at Yuleba, and stretches to the South Australian border. The region was populated by between ten and fifteen indigenous nations prior to European settlement. Since the 1840s the South West has seen the development of primary industries and the formation of rural communities. A grounded theory research approach was used in this study, which drew upon data collected through a series of programs conducted by the community support agency Lifeline. These data sets included individual stories of extreme hardship, connected chains of evidence and group responses. They provided an overview of the issues facing residents of the South West, including those issues pertinent to the role of Christian denominations throughout the region. The significant issues which emerged from the study related to the concerns of rural residents over their personal health, their self image, the state of their interpersonal relationships, the viability of their enterprises, the loss of community facilities, and the decreasing rural population. With specific reference to the Church, respondents indicated that harsh conditions had challenged their faith, reduced their ability to be involved in church-based activities and added to their concerns over the reduction of resident clergy and Church facilities in rural areas. Respondents in the study presented a widespread sense of powerlessness in regard to decisions made regarding funding for their local communities and management decisions made by Church authorities without any local consultation. The conclusions from this study indicate that the Church does have an ongoing role in rural communities provided that the Christian denominations recognise and respond to the concerns of the rural residents in regard to denominational structures, rural theology and the principles underlying the provision of rural social services. The study recommends that the Christian denominations put into practice the statements which have been made by denominational leaders in regard to the formation of an ecumenical training program for clergy and lay leaders who may work in rural areas. An urgent need is revealed for a new approach to gender issues so that the role of women in rural industry, producer organizations, government committees and Church management can be examined as broadly as possible. The study also indicated the need for further research into the future of Australia's rural communities and the ways in which they may differ as communities from the urban areas of Australia.

Abstract:
Studies of genocide rarely move beyond the Holocaust (1939-1945) and the Aimenian genocide (1915-1917), and few make comparative analyses ofdifferentcases. This study seeks to develop understanding of which economic, political and social conditions give rise to a specific type of genocide - colonial genocides. An in depth study is made of the genocide of Aborigines in Queensland (1840-1897) and this is systematically compared to a briefer study of the genocide of the Hereros in South West Africa (1884-1906). Of the factors compared, four are verified by both cases, albeit with certain modifications. A common argument is made that genocide is preempted where the victim group is needed as labour for the perpetrator society. Neither case supported this factor: rather, it was found that the genocide continued despite this need. Whilst these factors provided necessary conditions for genocide, they were not sufficient to explain why genocide had been pursued rather than policies of assimilation or expulsion. Hence the role of ideologies and popular perceptions in Britain and Germany, and their colonial purposes, were examined to explain their different roles in the genocides. The particular forms of ideologies and popular perceptions were found to be significant as were changing international relations within Europe. The seventh factor - that genocide might be preempted where the church or state of the perpetrator homeland intervened, was also invalidated by the case studies. The problem of defining genocide is also addressed. The thesis demonstrates that the issue of perpetrator intention to commit genocide can be measured. It draws distinctions between overt and covert perpetrator intention; genocides in which the state is an active perpetrator and those where it has a complicit, less obvious role; and between a piecemeal form of genocide occurring over a long period, and a systematic genocide in a shorter time spell. The conclusions drawn from the case studies are briefly contrasted to explanations arising from the main European cases of genocide. By underlining the differences, the thesis demonstrates that colonial genocides are a distinct type of genocide and point to a non- Eurocentric approach to understanding genocide.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis has been to map the ethical journey of experienced nurses now practising in rural and remote hospitals in central and south-west Queensland and in domiciliary services in Brisbane. One group of the experienced nurses in the study were Directors of Nursing in rural and remote hospitals. These nurses were “hands on”, “multi-skilled “ nurses who also had the task of managing the hospital. Also there were two Directors of Nursing from domiciliary services in Brisbane. A grounded theory method was used. The nurses were interviewed and the data retrieved from the interviews was coded, categorised and from these categories a conceptual framework was generated. The literature which dealt with the subject of ethical decision making and nurses also became part of the data. The study revealed that all these nurses experienced moral distress as they made ethical decisions. The decision making categories revealed in the data were: the area of financial management; issues as end of life approaches; allowing to die with dignity; emergency decisions; experience of unexpected death; the dilemma of providing care in very difficult circumstances. These categories were divided into two chapters: the category related to administrative and financial constraints and categories dealing with ethical issues in clinical settings. A further chapter discussed the overarching category of coping with moral distress. These experienced nurses suffered moral distress as they made ethical decisions, confirming many instances of moral distress in ethical decision making documented in the literature to date. Significantly, the nurses in their interviews never mentioned the ethical principles used in bioethics as an influence in their decision making. Only one referred to lectures on ethics as being an influence in her thinking. As they described their ethical problems and how they worked through them, they drew on their own previous experience rather than any knowledge of ethics gained from nursing education. They were concerned for their patients, they spoke from a caring responsibility towards their patients, but they were also concerned for justice for their patients. This study demonstrates that these nurses operated from the ethic of care, tempered with the ethic of responsibility as well as a concern for justice for their patients. Reflection on professional experience, rather than formal ethics education and training, was the primary influence on their ethical decision making.

Abstract:
Finding Australian Birds is a guide to the special birds found across Australia's vastly varied landscapes. From the eastern rainforests to central deserts, Australia is home to some 900 species of birds. This book covers over 400 Australian bird watching sites conveniently grouped into the best birding areas, from one end of the country to the other. This includes areas such as Kakadu in the Top End and rocky gorges in the central deserts of the Northern Territory, the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, rainforests distributed along the eastern Australian seaboard, some of the world's tallest forests in Tasmania, the Flinders Ranges and deserts along the iconic Strzelecki and Birdsville Tracks in South Australia, and the mallee temperate woodlands and spectacular coastlines in both Victoria and south west Western Australia. Each chapter begins with a brief description of the location, followed by a section on where to find the birds, which describes specific birdwatching sites within the location's boundaries, and information on accommodation and facilities. The book also provides a comprehensive 'Bird Finding Guide', listing all of Australia's birds with details on their abundance and where exactly to see them. Of value to both Australian birdwatchers and international visitors, this book will assist novices, birders of intermediate skill and keen 'twitchers' to find any Australian species.

"Little was known about MVE virus, its vertebrate hosts or its vectors before the establishment of the Ord River irrigation area. Early serological studies by Stanley and Choo (1961; 1964) on human sera collected in 1960 from Halls Creek in East Kimberley and Derby in West Kimberley had demonstrated that the virus was circulating in these areas. However, no clinical cases of encephalitis had been reported, which may have been due to the small human population in the region prior to 1960, to a lack of awareness by clinicians, to low virus carriage rates in mosquitoes, or to a combination of these factors. Similarly, no cases of encephalitis had been reported in the Northern Territory. The first clinical case of Murray Valley encephalitis (now known as Australian encephalitis) occurred in 1969 (Table 8.1), a fatal case that was acquired by a tourist south of the Ord River irrigation area (Cook et al. 1970). Only limited information was available on the mosquito species prevalent in the Ord River area before 1972, although Culex annulirostris, believed to be the major vector for MVE virus from studies carried out by Doherty and colleagues in north Queensland (Doherty et al. 1963), was found to be present (H. Paterson, personal communication to Stanley 1972), and was the dominant species (H. Paterson, personal communication to Stanley 1975). Thus prior to the completion of stage one of the Ord River irrigation area, serological evidence had been obtained to demonstrate that MVE virus caused subclinical human infections, but no clinical cases had been reported. Between the completion of stage one and stage two, the first clinical case of encephalitis was reported, and limited information on the mosquito fauna was obtained but without details of mosquito numbers or population dynamics. 8.3 Studies on Murray Valley encephalitis from 1972 8.3.1 Early studies, 1972—1976 A series of investigations on the ecology of MVE virus in the Ord River irrigation area and on the effect of the completion of the Ord River dam were initiated by Stanley and colleagues in 1972. The major components comprised: regular mosquito collections obtained just before and immediately after the wet season to determine the number and proportion of each species at different sites, and for isolation of viruses; serological studies of animals and birds to investigate their roles as possible vertebrate or reservoir hosts; and serological studies of the human population, both Caucasian and Aboriginal, to determine subclinical infection rates and to assess potential risks. These studies yielded a number of important findings which have provided the basis for much of our knowledge of MVE ecology in north-western Australia. The major findings were as follows. • Mosquitoes.
