Supplementary Document to Danggali WPA and Danggali CP Management Plan 2011 1

Purpose of the Supplementary Document This supplementary document to the Danggali Wilderness Protection Area and Danggali Conservation Park Management Plan 2011 is intended to provide information in support of the proposed future arrangements. This is a non-statutory working document which can be updated as new information becomes available. In line with the format of the management plan, the supplementary document is presented in the following sections:

• Park Significance and Purpose • Conserving Mallee Biodiversity at a Landscape Scale • Managing Predation and Total Grazing Pressure • Managing the Impacts of Fire • Providing Sustainable Visitor Experiences

This document is not intended to be a comprehensive source of all available information relating to the reserves, rather a source of additional information that strategically links to the proposed future managment directions.

Park Significance and Purpose The significant biodiversity and wilderness values of the land protected within Danggali Wilderness Protection Area and Danggali Conservation Park was first formally acknowledged in 1975. At this time, federal funding was made available to purchase four adjoining pastoral properties in the area: Canopus, Morganvale, Hypurna and Postmark Stations. These four properties were formally combined in 1976 to create the original Danggali Conservation Park.

In 1977, the park was dedicated as a biosphere reserve under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere program. However, an active conservation-based Biosphere program has not been in place on the reserves since the late 1990s. More recently, the northern section of Danggali Conservation Park was recommended for protection under the Wilderness Protection Act 1992, following formal assessment by the South Australian Wilderness Advisory Committee (DEH, 2005). Danggali Wilderness Protection Area was subsequently proclaimed in 2009.

Conserving over 250 000 hectares of high quality mallee habitat and a diverse range of native species, the primary value of the reserves is considered to be biodiversity and wilderness conservation (see Section 1: Conserving Mallee Biodiversity at a Landscape Scale). Secondary values associated with the reserves include low intensity tourism, and the preservation of cultural and historic values. These cultural and historic values are linked with both Indigenous and European activities within the region.

The Danggali Tribe are thought to have been associated with the vast plains to the south-west of Broken Hill, including some areas conserved within the reserves today (Tindale, 1974). The claypan areas of Morganvale are thought to have been the main area frequented by this group within the reserves. Although there is generally limited physical evidence of Indigenous activity in the area, some artefacts such as flint and stones have been observed near some of these claypans (DENR, 1995). Of particular interest is a Black Oak construction known as Nanya’s Wurley, located approximately 6 kilometres from Canopus Homestead.

According to local histories, Nanya was an Aboriginal man who fled troopers in 1864 following the murder of a fellow Aboriginal at a droving camp in the Darling Downs (DENR, 1995). Following a sighting of Nanya in 1884 by Tom Mullens at Oakvale Station, Nanya and two women with children were made the subject of a man hunt in the mid 1890s. During this time, Nanya and his tribe (by then numbering about 30) were terrorised and injured. They were eventually captured in 1894 and taken to Urntah Lagoon where their numbers dwindled. Nanya was taken to the 1895 Exhibition in Adelaide and died shortly afterwards. His descendents were dispersed and the last died in Queensland in the early 1960s (DENR, 1995). No systematic survey of Indigenous heritage has been completed within the reserves to date, therefore further Aboriginal heritage sites may be in existence. There is currently no Native Title claim over the reserves.

Later European occupation in the region is linked to early pastoral operations, which are thought to have commenced in the region during the 1850s (DENR, 1995). During this time infrastructure such as fencing, stockyards and buildings were constructed on the land now protected within the reserves. The Canopus and Hypurna Homesteads are among some of the most substantial buildings found within the reserves. A detailed history of the four pastoral leases is provided in Appendix 8.


1. Conserving Mallee Biodiversity at a Landscape Scale This section provides additional information regarding the biodiversity values protected within Danggali Wilderness Protection Area and Danggali Conservation Park. Specifically, it provides a description of the landscape, native flora and fauna, introduced flora and fauna and threats to biodiversity within the reserves and surrounding landscape.

The landscape scale approach to biodiversity management outlined in the management plan is supported by policy and planning frameworks at a state and regional level. The South Australian Murray Darling Biodiversity Plan (Kahrimanis, 2001) provides the regional framework for biodiversity management, while the No Species Loss Strategy: A Nature Conservation Strategy for South Australia 2007-2017 (DEH, 2007) outlines goals and actions for mitigating species loss within a statewide context.

Landscape Description The reserves fall within the Murray-Darling Depression (MDD) IBRA Bioregion and South Olary Plains (SOP) IBRA Sub-region (Figure 1). A small section of the wilderness protection area also falls within the Broken Hill Complex IBRA Region and Barrier Range Outwash IBRA Sub-region. The majority of the reserve landscape is characterised by gently undulating plains with widespread easterly trending dunes and occasional clayplans (Laut et al, 1977). The soil consists of clay deposits overlain to varying depth by windblown sand deposits, with the depth of overlying sandy material strongly influencing the type of vegetation present. Six landsystems occur within the wilderness protection area, with seven landsystems found within the conservation park (Table 1).

Figure 1: Bioregional setting


The reserves occur within the southern-most extension of the South Australian arid zone, with rainfall varying considerably from year to year and across the reserves. Records from Canopus show that since 1948, annual rainfall has ranged between 112mm to 564 mm (DENR, 1995). Evaporation is very high during summer months, with average monthly evaporation exceeding rainfall in every month of the year. Winters are cool and summers warm to hot, with significant variations in diurnal and seasonal temperatures.

Native Flora Danggali Wilderness Protection Area and Danggali Conservation Park support a diverse range of native flora, including species of national and state conservation significance. Dominated by Red Mallee (Eucalyptus oleosa), Yorrell (Eucalyptus gracillis), Ridge-fruited Mallee (Eucalyptus incrassata) and Beaked Red Mallee (Eucalyptus socialis), the dense mallee vegetation conserved within the reserves forms a continuous stretch of habitat which connects to Tarawi Nature Reserve in New South Wales. A map depicting the ten landsystems found across the two reserves is provided in Figure 2, with detailed descriptions of the dominant vegetation types found within each landsystem outlined in Table 1.

Figure 2: Landsystems


Located within a transitional zone between the arid rangeland country of the far north and the more temperate mallee to the south, many flora species found within the reserves are at the extent of their range. Species such as Pale Turpentine Bush (Beyeria lechenaultii) and Cypress Pine (Callitris sp) are at their northern most distribution, with species such as Pituri (Duboisia hopwoodii) and Mulga (Acacia aneura) at their southern most limits (DEH, 2005).

In the northern sections of Danggali Wilderness Protection Area, species such as Black Oak (Casuarina pauper), Blue Bush (Maireana sedifolia), Black Bluebush (Maireana pyramidata), Spiny Fanflower (Scaevola spinescens) and Needlebush (Hakea mitchellii) dominate the landscape. More arid species such as Mulga (Acacia anuera) and Nealie (Acacia loderi) are found along the northern boundary (DEH, 2005).

A total of 278 native flora species have been recorded within the wilderness protection area, including 79 species of conservation significance. The state endangered Black Cotton Bush (Maireana decalvans), state vulnerable Weeping Myall (Acacia pendula) and state rare Nealie (Acacia loderi), Tucker’s Spear Grass (Austrostipa tuckeri) and Yellow-flower Sourbush (Choretrum glomeratum var. Chrysanthum) have all been recorded within this reserve. Weeping Myall is also considered critically endangered within the South Olary Plains sub-bioregion.

In Danggali Conservation Park, a total of 172 native flora species have been recorded including 32 species of conservation significance. Among those species of conservation significance are the state rare Wilga (Geijera parviflora), Hooked Needlewattle (Hakea tephrosperma) and Dwarf Sunray (Hyalosperma stoveae), all of which have also been recorded within the wilderness protection area. A full list of flora species recorded within the reserves is provided in Appendix 1 and 2, with flora species of conservation significance listed in Appendix 3.

Danggali Conservation Park is known to support at least one significant vegetation community. The Eragrostis australasica Tussock Grassland, a poorly conserved vegetation community in South Australia, occurs within the conservation park. Only two other reserves in South Australia (Murray River National Park and Chowilla Regional Reserve) are known to formally protect this vegetation community (DEH, 2005).

Other flora species of interest include River Box (Eucalyptus largiflorens) which occurs away from preferred watercourse habitat and Nealie, which is closely related to Western Myall (Acacia papyrocarpa). In contrast to the widespread occurrence of Western Myall is in the north west of the state, Nealie is confined to the reserves and western New South Wales (DENR, 1995).

A regional species assessment has recently been undertaken to determine the conservation status of all native species within the South Olary Plains (SOP) IBRA sub-region (Gillam & Urban, unpublished). A total of 21 native flora species recorded within the wilderness protection area and 13 flora species within the conservation park have been identified as in probable decline within the region. Only 1 species, the regionally rare Showy Burr-daisy (Calotis cymbacantha), is known to be in definite decline.

In Danggali Wilderness Protection Area, 5 declining flora species are considered vulnerable at the regional level including Cotton Bush (Bromus arenarius) and Bladder Swainson-pea (Swainsona colutoides). A further 12 declining flora species are considered rare and 3 near threatened within this reserve. Of the declining species known to occur within Danggali Conservation Park, 3 are considered vulnerable including Scurfy Germander (Teucrium albicaule) and Large-lipped Rusty Hood (Ptserostylis lingua). A further 5 are considered rare at the regional level and 3 near threatened.

The state listed rare Wilga (Geijera parviflora), also listed as regionally vulnerable, has been recorded within both reserves and is thought to be in decline. A full list of declining flora species known to occur within the reserves is provided in Table 2. A full list of conservation status codes is provided in Appendix 8.

Introduced Flora Weeds are common along road sides and other infrastructure within the reserves, however are considered a lower management priority relative to other threatening processes. A total of 55 introduced flora species have been recorded within Danggali Wilderness Protection Area, including 10 species proclaimed under the Natural Resources Management Act 2004. These proclaimed species include African Boxthorn (Lycium ferocissimum), Bathurst Burr (Xanthium spinosum) and Spear Thistle (Cirsium vulgare).

A total of 17 introduced plant species have been recorded within Danggali Conservation Park, including 1 species proclaimed in South Australia. Athel Pine (Tamarix aphylla) has been recorded in Danggali Conservation Park and is the only weed of national significance (WONS) known to occur within the reserves. On the less sandy soils weeds seem to be common under trees and shrubs that provide good shade. Stock and possibly kangaroos using these areas for shade have possibly contributed to the spread of weeds (DENR, 2005). Some unproclaimed species such as Ward’s Weed (Carrichtera annua) are considered widespread (DENR, 2005). A list of proclaimed species recorded in the reserves is provided in Table 3, with a full list of all introduced plant species recorded within the reserves provided in Appendix 4.

Native Fauna The extensive and relatively intact tracts of mallee vegetation conserved within the reserves supports a diverse range of fauna species, including some of national and state conservation significance. A total of 193 native fauna species have been recorded within the wilderness protection area and 180 species within the conservation park. The reserves are particularly significant in providing core habitat for a suite of threatened and declining mallee birds.

Of the 134 native bird species recorded within the wilderness protection area, around 45% (59) are species of national, state or regional conservation significance. This includes the nationally endangered Black- eared Miner (Manorina flavigula melanotis) and nationally vulnerable Malleefowl (Leipoa ocellata), Regent Parrot (Polytelis anthopeplus) and Red-lored Whistler (Pachycephala rufogularis). Species commonly seen in both reserves include Wedge Tailed Eagle (Aquila audax), Mallee Ringneck (Barnardius zonarius), Red- capped Robin (Petroica goodenovii), Rufus Whistler (Pachycephala rufogularis), Crested Bellbird (Oreoice gutturala), Chestnut-crowned Babbler (Pomatostomus ruficeps) and Singing Honeyeater (Lichenostomus virescens) (DENR, 1995)

A total of 120 bird species have also been recorded within Danggali Conservation Park. Among these are 22 species listed at the state level, including the vulnerable Australian Bustard (Ardeotis australis) and rare Striated Grasswren (Amytornis striatus), Major Mitchell Cockatoo (Lophocroa leadbeateri) and Shy Heathwren (Hylacola cauta). The southern population of the Striated Grass-wren present in the park is a morphologically distinct outline and constitutes the northern most limit of the southern type of striated grass wren (DENR, 1995). A full list of fauna species recorded within the reserves is provided in Appendix 5 and 6, with all species of conservation significance presented in Appendix 7.

The lower north east pastoral zone is of special importance to some bird species, particularly the Scarlet Chested Parrot (Neophema splendida) and Major Mitchell Cockatoo (DENR, 1995). The abundance of large mallees and Black Oaks in the reserves provides essential nesting hollows for these birds. Black Oak woodlands in the northern section of the reserve also provide extensive breeding grounds for Apostle Bird (Struthidea cinerea) (DENR, 1995).

The reserves are known to support a range of important mammal species, including the richest diversity of bat species in South Australia. At least 18 mammal species are known to occur within the wilderness protection area and 16 species have been recorded in the conservation park. Species of conservation significance recorded within both reserves include the nationally vulnerable Greater Long-eared Bat (Nyctophilus timorensis), state endangered Little Pied Bat (Chalinolabus gouldii) and the regionally rare Southern Forest Bat (Vespadelus regulus). The regionally rare Striped-faced Dunnart (Sminthopsis macroura) has also been recorded within the wilderness protection area.

Red Kangaroo (Macropus rufus) and Western Grey Kangaroo (Macropus fulignosis) occur in the reserves, at densities ranging from 2 to 14 per square kilometre since 1982 (DENR, 1995). A small scattered population of Euros (Macropus robustus) also occur in the area.

The reserves support a diverse range of reptiles, with 39 species recorded in the wilderness protection area and 42 species within the conservation park. Reptile species of conservation significance include the state rare Marbled Velvet Gecko (Oedura marmorata) which has been recorded in both reserves, and the state rare Bardick (Echiopsis curta) which has been recorded in the wilderness protection area. The state rare Carpet Python (Morelia spilota) has also been recorded in Danggali Conservation Park. Amphibians are less prevalent, with only Spotted March Frog (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis) and Suddell’s Frog (Neobatrachus sudelli) recorded in both reserves.

A regional species assessment (Gillam & Urban, unpublished) has identified that at least 14 fauna species recorded within Danggali Wilderness Protection Area are in probable decline within the South Olary Plains (SOP) IBRA Sub-region. A further 3 species (Malleefowl, Black-eared Miner and Regent Parrot) have been identified as in definite decline. A total of 13 fauna species recorded in the conservation park are also in probable decline and 2 species in definite decline within the region. A list of declining fauna species found in both reserves is provided in Table 4.

National recovery plans have been developed for Black-eared Miner (Baker-Gabb, 2003), Malleefowl (Benshemesh, 2007) and Regent Parrot (Baker-Gabb & Hurley, 2010). At the regional level, a multi-species recovery plan has also been developed which includes Red-lored Whistler and Striated Grass-wren (DEH, 200a). A regional recovery plan for Regent Parrots has also been prepared.

Introduced Fauna A number of feral herbivores are known to occur within the reserves, as outlined in Table 5. Feral goats (Capra hircus) and rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) are the feral grazers which are of most concern, given their known capacity to significantly degrade native vegetation in arid and semi-arid areas. Stray cattle (Bos taurus) and sheep (Ovis aries) have also been recorded within the reserves, however are unlikely to persist in significant numbers or for extended periods of time. Feral predators such as cats (Felis catus) and foxes (Vulpes vulpes) are also known to persist within the reserves. The impact of introduced grazers and predator species is discussed in more detail in Section 2: Managing Predation and Total Grazing Pressure.

Threats to Mallee Biodiversity A range of threatening processes which have the potential to compromise biodiversity values within the reserves have been identified within the management plan. Among those threats considered of highest priority are excessive total grazing pressure, predation pressure, inappropriate fire regimes (including large bushfires), climate change and drought. Although the general nature of these threats is known, the exact impact, extent and consequences of these threats on species and populations within the reserves and broader landscape is not comprehensively understood.

Although further research and monitoring is required to inform effective threat abatement programs within the reserves, some work in this area has already begun. Of particular relevance is the preliminary assessment of threats to mallee birds undertaken by Cale & Mladovan (2008). Although this work is referred to throughout this supplementary document, it is important to note that the preliminary risk assessment is not intended to provide a thorough assessment of the potential risks. Rather, it provides a qualitative assessment of selected risks for specific regional populations as a starting point for future work (Cale & Mladovan, 2008). Therefore, it is recommended that the information summarised from the report in this document be interpreted with caution and preferably within the context of the full report.

The preliminary risk assessment found that in the Riverland Biosphere region (within which Danggali Wilderness Protection Area and Danggali Conservation Park are located), bushfire poses the single greatest risk to mallee birds. This is followed by fire regime, introduced grazers and climate change which have all been identified as presenting a high risk to mallee birds within this particular system. A summary of the general risk posed by all assessed threats to mallee birds is provided in Table 6.

Threat Bookmark Mallee

Vegetation Clearance Low

Habitat Fragmentation Moderate

Bushfire Very High

Fire Regime High

Introduced Grazers High

Feral Predators Moderate

Illegal Trapping Moderate

Broombush Harvesting Very Low

Loss of Hollows Very Low

Climate Change High

Table 6: Risks to mallee birds in the Riverland Biosphere (Cale & Mladovan, 2008)

The report also assessed the general level of risk to specific bird species as a consequence of all threatening processes within the Riverland Biosphere. The assessment found Black-eared Miners (Manorina melanotis) are at greatest risk, with Malleefowl (Leipoa ocellata), Red-lored Whistler (Pachycephala rufogularis), Southern Scrub-robin (Drymodes brunneopygia), White-browed Tree Creeper (Climacteris affinis) and Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo (Lophocroa leadbeateri) also at a high level of general risk. The full list of species assessed and the identified level of risk is provided in Table 7. This information provides a potential starting point for designing future threat abatement and monitoring programs within the reserves.

The management plan for Danggali Wilderness Protection Area and Danggali Conservation Park has identified high priority threatening processes to mallee biodiversity values generally, focusing on those which can feasibibly begin to be addressed over the next ten years. The theme ‘Managing predation and total grazing pressure’ is supported by the findings of this initial risk assessment, which identifies introduced grazers as potentially posing a high risk to mallee birds and predation a moderate risk. The theme ‘Managing the impacts of fire’ is also supported by the risk assessment which identifies bushfire as a very high risk and fire regime as a high risk to mallee birds. Further research and monitoring programs may provide a more specific insight into the level of threat posed by particular processes on individual species within the reserves, including mammals and reptiles.

Research and Monitoring Since 1986, the University of South Australia has undertaken annual habitat assessment and monitoring programs within the reserves. Twenty four study quadrats have been established for this long term study, with plant communities, soil types, avifauna, mammals, reptiles and invertebrates surveyed (DENR, 1995). Unfortunately this long-term study is not anticipated to continue in future years. A mallee fire ecology project is also currently being conducted by La Trobe and Deakin University students. Some research work has been undertaken to improve understanding of threatened bird and bat species, including the Black- eared Miner (Manorina melanotis). A summary of research permits issued since 2005 (including some projects which have occurred over several years) is provided in Table 8.

2. Managing Predation and Total Grazing Pressure The draft management plan highlights the management of predation and total grazing pressure as a priority threat abatement focus in the future. For this reason, a separate theme has been established to provide specific direction in this area. The following information provides context for the proposed future management approach.

The preliminary risk assessment of threats to mallee birds undertaken by Cale & Mladovan (2008) provides a starting point for understanding the potential impacts of introduced species on a select range of mallee birds. The assessment found introduced grazers may potentially pose a high risk to mallee bird species within the Riverland Biosphere area. More specifically, grazing pressure is thought to pose a major threat to species such as Malleefowl, Red-lored Whistler, Striated Grasswren, White-browed Treecreeper and Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo.

This is supported by research undertaken on neighbouring Calperum and Gluepot Stations, which found ground dwelling, water-independent bird species such as the Striated Grass-wren declined in abundance as the distance to water points reduced (Harrington, 2002). This trend was attributed to a reduction in the availability of low, dense shrub species near water points due to total grazing impacts.

Predation pressure as a general threat is considered to have a potentially moderate impact on mallee birds, and specifically a moderate impact on species such as Malleefowl, Southern Scrub-robin, Crested Bellbird and Chestnut Quail-thrush. A summary of the potential level of threat of both grazing pressure and predation on all bird species assessed is provided in Table 9.

Malleefowl Major Moderate

Red-lored Whistler Major Minor

Southern Scrub-robin Moderate Moderate

Striated Grasswren Major Minor

White-browed Treecreeper Major Minor

Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo Major Minor

Crested Bellbird Moderate Moderate

Chestnut Quail-thrush Moderate Moderate

Shy Heathwren Moderate Minor

Hooded Robin Moderate Minor

Striped Honeyeater Unknown Unknown

Priority Threats High Moderate

Table 9: Threats to mallee birds – grazing and predation (Cale & Mladovan, 2008)

The specific impact of predation and grazing pressure on other fauna and flora species within the reserves is not comprehensively understood. Further research and monitoring is required in this area to inform effective future threat abatement programs.

Waterpoint Management The management plan identifies waterpoint management as a key strategy for reducing the impacts of total grazing pressure within the reserves. Rationalisation of artificial waterpoints is a well supported strategy within the arid rangelands to reduce the impact of overgrazing and to increase the biodiversity values of the landscape (James et al, 1999).

A preliminary assessment of the potential extent of grazing pressure around reliable dams found that approximately 36 526 hectares or 14.5% of the total reserves area may be impacted by grazing piospheres (DENR, 1995). This estimate is based on a 2 kilometre potential piosphere gradient around each waterpoint.


Although this approach provides a rough estimate only, it provides context for the potential extent of grazing pressure across the reserves.

It is acknowledged that the existing dams within the reserves are built in landscapes with natural water holding ability. Most would therefore have caught and held water for substantial periods of time, with significant use by local wildlife. It is suggested that several carefully selected dams are retained to enable natural fluctuations in availability of water to continue to occur.

Six dams have been identified through the fire planning process as being required for water supply purposes. The management process for these dams would include maintenance of the dams to catch water, fencing the dam to reduce grazing pressure and using poly tanks to store water from the dam which makes it safer and easier to access by trucks.

Complete closure is recommended for a number of carefully selected dams to create large corridors of ‘waterless’ country connecting areas of high value biodiversity at a landscape scale. These corridors would then compliment similar areas on neighbouring properties and assist in the protection of threatened species relying on intact mallee ecosystems, while other areas would remain open to support species that require water. This approach would be implemented using supporting information and experience from neighbouring properties where water point closure has already been successfully implemented.

The domestic supply system, that uses four dams near Canopus will be maintained at the existing level although the requirement for all dams within that supply chain will be investigated. It is suggested the need to maintain domestic water supply using dams at Hyperna is not necessary. Any remaining dams would have all drains cut to reduce the ability of the dams to catch water. Various management options could then be investigated to further reduce the water holding ability of these dams over time.


3. Managing the Impacts of Fire The Bookmark Mallee Fire Management Plan 2009-2019 (DEH, 2009) provides comprehensive information on fire history, ecology and management within the reserves, and across the broader Bookmark Mallee area. The fire management plan should be referred to as the primary source of detailed information related to any aspect of fire management; however a brief overview is provided here to support the strategies outlined in the management plan.

Fire History The reserves have a history of low fire frequency, with most fires ignited naturally during summer lightning events. The east-west sand dunes which occur in the northern section of Danggali Wilderness Protection Area support highly flammable Triodia communities, and it is this area which has been subject of most fire events during recorded history (DEH, 2009). The largest fires recorded in the reserves occurred in 1985, when large areas of the Morgan Vale, Tipperary, Postmark, Canopus and Toby’s Blocks were burnt (DEH, 2009). This fire is estimated to have burnt approximately 24% of the total reserve area.

More recently a fire burnt over 1200 hectares of vegetation during 2006, with many smaller fires occurring since the 1990s (DEH, 2009). There is evidence to suggest that the reserves were also affected by the large fires which occurred in the region in 1917 and during the 1950s. Most areas within the reserves have only burnt once in recent times, as shown in Figure 3. Only a very small area in the south-east section of the wilderness protection are is known to have been burnt repeatedly (three times). Less is known of fire history prior to European settlement.

Figure 3: Fire management blocks and burn frequency


Bushfire Environment and Fire Risk The risk of fire occurring within the reserves is considered to be high, largely due to the presence of extensive tracts of mature mallee vegetation and also a lack of recent fire scars (DEH, 2009). Sand dune areas which support mature Triodia communities present the highest fire risk due to the extreme flammability of this species. This association is present in all blocks except for Renmark, Hypurna and Nanya Blocks (DEH, 2009). The primary source of ignition is lightning strikes from dry electrical storms.

Management Zoning The Bookmark Mallee Fire Management Plan outlines twelve fire management blocks across Danggali Wilderness Protection Area and Danggali Conservation as presented in Figure 3. Rated fauna species have been recorded from all fire management blocks with the exception of Hypurna; however absence of rated species may reflect survey effort rather than actual absence (DEH, 2009).

Old-growth mallee is known to occur within most blocks, a suitable habitat type for many significant species (DEH, 2009). Malleefowl have been recorded in most blocks, with Black-eared Miner also known to occur within Renmark and Boundary blocks. Details of each fire management block, including natural and built values, are summarised in Table 10.

Impacts on Biodiversity Values A preliminary risk assessment has identified bushfire as a very high risk to mallee birds within the Bookmark Mallee (Cale & Mladovan, 2008). Of significance, bushfires has been identified as posing a potentially catastrophic threat to Black-eared Miner populations in the area. Fire regime was also identified as a high general risk to mallee birds, posing a particularly high level of threat to species such as Malleefowl and Red-lored Whistler. A summary of risk of bushfire and fire regime on specific species is outlined in Table 11. Some bird species such as Hooded Robin and Shy Heathwren are considered unlikely to be significantly impacted by either bushfires or fire regimes (Cale & Mladovan, 2008).

Table 11: Threats to mallee birds - bushfire and fire regime (Cale & Mladovan, 2008)

The Bookmark Mallee Fire Management Plan provides a summary of known fire management requirements for a number of species of conservation significance found within the reserves. The fire requirements of many species are currently unknown and require further investigation. A summary of the fire management requirements of selected species found within the reserves (reproduced from the fire management plan) are provided in Table 12.

Species

Fire ecology guidelines

Black-eared Miner Strong preference for mallee/Triodia older than 40 years for nesting and foraging

Malleefowl Strong preference for mallee older than 30 years with a significant litter layer for mound building. Will forage in more recently burnt sites

Scarlet-Chested Parrot Requires very old growth mallee with hollow logs to nest in. A regime of reduced fire frequency is preferred. Does forage in recently burnt areas

Striated Grasswren, Red- lored Whistler and Southern Scrub-robin

Triodia specialists with a strong association with post-fire mallee/Triodia habitat older than 20 years. Areas older than 45 years of greatest importance

Chestnut Quail-thrush Most commonly found in mallee/Triodia older than 24 years, particularly areas older than 45 years

Major Mitchell Cockatoo Requires very old-growth mallee with hollows to roost and nest in

White-browed Tree Creeper

Little is known of fire ecology, a reliance on litter suggests a preference to older habitat

Greater Long-eared Bat and Little Pied Bat

Require ancient mallee with hollow logs to roost and nest in

4. Providing Sustainable Visitor Experiences The remote and relatively undisturbed nature of Danggali Wilderness Protection Area and Danggali Conservation Park attracts a small number of self-sufficient travellers each year, with most entering the reserves during the cooler months of the year. The site interpretation theme is ‘where the mallee meets the arid zone, the isolated wilderness of Danggali is home to diverse wildlife and has a rich indigenous and European pastoral history’. Recreational four-wheel drivers are identified as the target group for interpretation activities (DEH, 2006).

Given the recent addition of the Danggali Wilderness Protection Area, existing signage within the reserves requires updating to reflect the new reserve status. The management plan outlines strategies which will enable self-sufficient travellers to continue accessing the reserves, including updating reserve signage and interpretative material to promote the value of wilderness and the Minimum Impact Code (DEH, 2006a). Public use and enjoyment of wilderness areas is encouraged under the Wilderness Code of Management (DEH, 2004).

The management plan promotes a reduced focus on visitor management activities within the reserves in future, to enable increased investment in biodiversity management activities. The visitation figures provided in Table 13 suggest that this approach is unlikely to impact significantly on the tourism value of the site, given the already low rates of visitation. The data also suggests that the number of visitors camping overnight within Danggali Conservation Park has slowly dropped since 2002. The number of university students accessing the reserves has remained steady.

Appendix 8: Conservation Status Codes

Australian Conservation Status Codes (AUS) The following codes are based on the current listing of species under Section 179 of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

EX Extinct: there is no reasonable doubt that the last member of the species has died.

EW Extinct in the Wild: known only to survive in cultivation, in captivity or as a naturalised population well outside its past range; or it has not been recorded in its known and/or expected habitat, at appropriate seasons, anywhere in its past range, despite exhaustive surveys over a time frame appropriate to its life cycle and form.

CE Critically Endangered: facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild in the immediate future, as determined in accordance with the prescribed criteria.

E Endangered: facing a very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future, as determined in accordance with the prescribed criteria.

V Vulnerable: facing a high risk of extinction in the wild in the medium-term future, as determined in accordance with the prescribed criteria.

CD Conservation Dependent: the species is the focus of a specific conservation program, the cessation of which would result in the species becoming vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered within a period of 5 years.

Note: Prescribed criteria as defined under the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

South Australian Conservation Status Codes (SA) The following codes are based on the current listing of species under Schedules of the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972, as amended in 2008. To align with other States, Territories and the Commonwealth (EPBC Act) listing categories and ratings, the IUCN criteria were used as a basis for determining threatened species status under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972. For IUCN criteria see:

IUCN (2008) IUCN Red List Categories. Prepared by the IUCN Species Survival Commission. IUCN, Gland, Switzerland (www.redlist.org).

IUCN (2001) IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria: Version 3.1. IUCN Species Survival Commission. IUCN, Gland, Switzerland and Cambridge, United Kingdom (www.redlist.org).

E Endangered: (Schedule 7) in danger of becoming extinct in the wild.

V Vulnerable: (Schedule 8) at risk from potential or long term threats which could cause the species to become endangered in the future.

R Rare: (Schedule 9) low overall frequency of occurrence (may be locally common with a very restricted distribution or may be scattered sparsely over a wider area). Not currently exposed to significant threats, but warrants monitoring and protective measures to prevent reduction of population sizes.

Regional Status Codes (SOP) The categories below apply to the regional species status within the South Olary Plains (SOP) IBRA Sub- region. The status assessment and codes are taken from Gillam, S. and Urban, R. (unpublished data 2010), with the full report currently in press.

RE Regionally Extinct CR Critically Endangered EN Endangered VU Vulnerable RA Rare NT Near Threatened LC Least Concern DD Data Deficient NE Not Evaluated Last Regional Record: This date is the last recorded observation of the species within the South Olary Plains IBRA Sub-region


Appendix 9: Pastoral History

The following information has been reproduced from the Danggali Conservation Park Management Plan (DENR, 1995). This important historic information will no longer be available in the previous management plan once the new draft management plan has been formally adopted, therefore is provided here for future reference.

Pastoral occupation in the region dates from the 1850s when Charles J.F. Campbell held 931 square kilometres on his North West Bend Station. The station stocked 14, 000 sheep, 300 cattle and 90 horses at the time of his death in 1859. According to pastoral lease records, Alexander Hay took up 2, 849 square kilometres at North West Bend in 1875, joined by Charles Henry Armytage in May 1876. By 1896 it was noted that the lessees did not intend to occupy at the expiration of the lease but would accept commonage at the usual rates. Other lessees of land in Danggali include:

• W & H Brook (Pastoral leases 2461 and 2462) who leased land north of the North West Bend Station

between 1875 and 1896 • J. Chambers (Pastoral lease 2235) who leased “Boundary” run, south-east of Hay’s “North West

Bend” property, an area of 259 square km (100 square miles) during the 1870s • Adrian Morris Wooldridge (Pastoral lease 2377) who leased 259 square km (100 square miles) in

1874.

During the period between the 1870s and 1896 the lessees changed. Improvements to the runs in the form of fences, wells, stock yards and huts were erected from local timber and supplies of wire and corrugated iron bought by river transport or across the eastern plains from Burra.

Early pastoralism was subject to the severe drought of the mid 1860s. One example of the type of loss suffered by the lessees was the loss of 15, 782 sheep belonging to Mr Armytage. In 1865 the lambing season yielded 1 lamb and in 1866 none. However, by the time the North West property transferred to the Hon. Alexander Hay in 1875, the stock included 94, 000 sheep, 500 cattle and 300 horses.

In 1894, Alexander Hay surrendered the western portion of his lease. Improvements on the land retained including 5 huts and one house. The impact of drought and depression at the close of the nineteenth century resulted in surrendering and non-renewal of pastoral leases during the 1890s.

Land was taken up again on new pastoral leases after the turn of the century, with a process of amalgamation and division of leases reflecting adjustments found to be necessary by land holders. The following is a brief account of the four pastoral holdings and their history up to the time when reverting to the Crown.

Canopus Station Harry Benson Martin acquired a variety of different sized pastoral leases offered early this century, following surrender and non-renewal of earlier leases over the same land in the 1890s. Postmark, south-east of the NSW border’ was first leased this century to Samuel Pope, from Overland Corner.

Following Pope’s surrender of the lease in 1909, Harry Benson Martin, a butcher and farmer of Berri and William Crozier, a butcher of Renmark, took up the lease. Martin subsequently bought out Crozier’s share and also acquired a number of other land parcels. Around 1918 or 1919 Canopus was adopted as the properties name, following a suggestion by the Government Surveyor who surveyed the area with the aid of a star.

Canopus was then purchased by William Snell in 1955 who held it to 1976 when it was purchased by the Government. In the interim, the Martin family improved the property with the construction of a shearing shed, shearers quarters, over 800 km of fencing, dams and the sinking of wells. The neighbouring Morganvale Station was incorporated into the Canopus Station in 1960.

Morganvale Station In 1904 a lease over the area was briefly taken up by George Kidman, but did not form part of the Kidman empire as it was surrendered in the following year. During 1906, four brothers from Burra took up the lease. They were Hebert, William, George and Edward Morgan. The original homestead building at Morganvale, so named by the brothers, is believed to originally been the nurses quarters at the Burra Hospital.

While it is unconfirmed whether the homestead was the nurses quarters or not, its appearance suggest the late nineteenth century period. The timber frame corrugated iron building has 3 main rooms, with skillion roof additions at the rear and a veranda of timber posts along the western aspect of the building. An


additional rear room built of local stone and mortar has since collapsed. Shutters on the northern side window and fascia boards have deteriorated. Interior rooms feature finely fluted corrugated iron walls and high ceilings. The wooden floors show signs of decay and sections have collapsed.

A short distance away from the original Morganvale Homestead is a cluster of buildings, including staff quarters, outbuildings and implement sheds. These date from 1930 to 1950. In 1928, after a slump in the price of wool resulting in a decrease in sheep on the land, the property was sold to Guilford Murray Howard for 11, 000 pounds. Howard built a homestead around 1929-30, which was burnt in 1966. A concrete slab and two chimneys mark where the building once stood.

The property ran between 2,000 and 6,000 sheep depending upon the price of wool and climatic conditions. In 1954 the Heinrichs purchased the property. During this period the property ran about 12, 000 head of sheep, double the estimated carrying capacity of the land. Following Heinrich’s untimely death in 1958, Elder Smiths placed the property up for sale in 1960. William Snell, of the neighbouring Canopus Station, bought the property and incorporated it into his holding until it was sold to the Government in 1976.

Hypurna Station Chamber’s 1872 lease was held by him until 1895, when it was taken over by 3 Adelaide women, Fanny Weaver, Priscilla Bickford and Ella Lucas. The latter group did not hold the lease for long. After 1915 Ernest William Castine ran the property for the next 20 years and named it the Swastika Station. Castine was responsible for most of the long narrow dams on the property. The existing station buildings were erected in the 1940s, after the lease transferred in 1934 to John J Higgins, Alexander L Higgins, Hurtle M Higgins and James G Higgins of New South Wales.

John Higgins managed the property and installed an air strip. In 1958, the property was transferred to John Thomas Higgins and Alexander L Higgins. After subsequent ownership by LG Martin and his wife, Ellen Lucy, the property was transferred to the Gilfillans of Tarlee, who finally sold the property to the State Government in 1975. Swastika Station became Hypurna Station during World War II.

Postmark Station Located in the North East corner of Danggali Conservation Park, Postmark Station appears on the Pastoral Plan of 1900, 259 square km (100 square miles) having been taken up by the Tiver brothers from Aberdeen in Burra between 1900 and 1903. In 1934 the station was purchased by Oakbank Limited and incorporated into the neighbouring stations holdings until 1976, when it was sold to the State Government.

To survive in this area pastoralists needed water. As bore water is approximately 150m below the surface and extremely salty, 66 dams were constructed on the four properties between 1915 and 1960. Construction techniques involved oxen, horses, tractors and bulldozers. The nature of the soil and a high evaporation rate resulted in many of the dams proving inefficient stock water, however many of the dams hold water for a significant portion of the year.
