BohlenPJ.doc One component of this effort is a large-scale research project at the MacArthur Agro-ecology Research Center, located at a 4,170-hectare cattle ranch, which is a division of Archbold Biological Station in south-central Florida. This project, now entering its fifth year, is examining the effect of cattle stocking density on nutrient concentrations and loads in surface runoff from cattle pastures. State agencies are working together with the University of Florida and non-profit research organizations to conduct research on the effectiveness of various best management practices for water quality on cattle ranches. conference.ifas.ufl.edu /jc/papers/geer/1oralgr/BohlenPJ.doc

Chapter 3: By Track and Road: Animal Power and Australian Transport, 1788-1920 This wool had to be transported to the nearest navigable water or railway station as quickly as possible, not because it spoilt (wool lasted for years in storage or transit) but so the grazier could sell it at the spring sales and so maintain his cash flow. The Port Augusta to Oodnadatta railway was significant in the development of a cattle industry in the occasionally well-watered centre of the continent. The drover, not railway officials, was responsible for watering and otherwise caring for the cattle while they were on the train. pandora.nla.gov.au /pan/39856/20040205/www.ahc.gov.au/infores/publications/national-stories/transport/chapter3.html   (14522 words)

coal in sa The original Leigh's Creek took its name from the nearby creek and cattle station, both of which were named after Henry Leigh, the first stockman employed on Alexander Glen's sheep and cattle station in 1856. Although the existence of coal in the Leigh Creek area had been known for thousands of years by local Aborigines, who believed it to be the remains of charcoal from huge fires lit by the Kingfisher man, Yulu Yuluru, it was not 'discovered' by the colonists of South Australia until 1884. While working on the construction of a new railway dam, near present day Copley, John Henry Reid, who had lived in the area for a number of years, had a closer look at the soil dug from the site and became convinced that it showed traces of coal. www.southaustralianhistory.com.au /coal.htm   (363 words)

Pine Rivers Shire Council Queensland Australia - Samford In 1877, what remained of the Samford cattle station was taken over by John Delaney Bergin, a pioneer settler who had already acquired large land holdings in the Bunya district. The construction of the Samford Railway Station, in what is now John Scott Park, provided the incentive for a number of scattered businesses to relocate nearby to form the commercial centre. In 1919, the year after the Railway Station opened, Jim O'Hara shifted the hotel, then known as O'Hara's Hotel or the Samford Hotel, to its present location from the site later occupied by the CSIRO laboratories. www.prsc.qld.gov.au /c/prsc?a=sp&pid=1095921511   (738 words)

Did You Know?: Origin of the Name Highett Highett’s Road was so named in the 1850s simply to indicate that this was the cattle track leading to William Highett’s property from Arthur’s Seat Road (later to become the Nepean Highway). When the Mordialloc railway line opened in 1881, the Victorian Railways Department adopted the name Highett’s Road as the official title for the station for the very logical reason that the road was the only sign of human habitation at that point. He was a early landowner in Moorabbin shire, part of which was named after him, and by the late 1870s had 6117 acres, valued at £15,292, in addition to land at Richmond and other suburban areas. localhistory.kingston.vic.gov.au /htm/article/226.htm   (2341 words)
