	The History of Australian Exploration by Ernest Favenc
		The first river the party struck, west of the Darling, was the Narran, and this was followed up until the Balonne was reached, which Mitchell pronounced the finest river in Australia, with the exception of the Murray.
		The first river he encountered was the Nive, and again he, as usual, flattered himself that he was at the head of Gulf waters, little thinking that he was on the most northern tributary of the Darling.
		A short day's ride convinced him that this river ran too much to the south-east, and he turned to the north through the scrub, and on the morning of the 15th September, was rewarded with the splendid outlook that has since greeted so many wayfarers on emerging from the Nive scrub.

	Condamine - Queensland - Australia - Travel - smh.com.au
		Because of its location on a river which has achieved an almost legendary status as a result of poems and short stories, it is a town of mythic rather than actual status.
		Add to this famous reference the fact that the Condamine River frequently appears in the stories of Steele Rudd, was referred to in a poem by 'Breaker' Morant and was mentioned by Dame Mary Gilmore and it is easy to see why this small town has an importance out of all proportion to its attractions.
		Originally known as Bonner Knob, Condamine was surveyed in 1859 and in 1868 a local flsmith named Samuel William Jones made the town's reputation when he invented the Condamine 'Bullfrog' cowbell which was tied around the necks of cattle and used to locate them when they strayed in the bush.

		Disturbance ecology in the riparian woodlands of the Upper Condamine Floodplain, southern Queensland
		Eucalypt woodlands associated with the floodplain sections of the Condamine River are widely recognised as being in generally poor condition, with evidence of significant dieback coupled with limited recruitment of canopy species, and the incursion of invasive weed species.
		It takes a multi-dimensional approach aimed at developing an integrated understanding of the drivers and mechanisms of ecosystem decline in these environments, with key components of the research including assessment of current riparian woodland composition and condition, and investigations of the roles of herbivory, competition and facilitation within the context of altered disturbance regimes.

	Charles Marie de la Condamine - The Great Unknown, The Great Explorers
		La Condamine's description of the Indians' lifestyle and of their hunting and fishing techniques is especially valuable, as it gives us another record of Indian cultures now lost to us.
		Although La Condamine marveled at the secrets about the plants and animals that he learned from the Indians, he was not impressed with the Indians themselves.
		The last survivor of the expedition, La Condamine, who was a less gifted astronomer than Godin and a less reliable mathematician than Bouguer often received the major part of the credit, probably because of his amiable nature and his talent as a writer.

		The general course of the river, between the latitudes of 25 degrees 41 minutes 55 seconds and 25 degrees 37 minutes 12 seconds, was to the northward; but, as it commenced to turn to the east, I was induced to cross it, and to follow my former direction to the northwest.
		Between those two latitudes, the river had commenced to run, which was not the ease higher up, notwithstanding it was formed by long reaches of water, upon which pelicans and ducks were abundant.

		Even though the sample size is small the size composition of fish taken in these rivers appears to be around a mean of approximately 50cm, with no evidence of a significant pulse of smaller fish (Figures 3a and b).
		By 1980 combinations of cod habitat degradation, barriers to migration of the species, pollution in many forms, reduced river flows, increased exotic species and targeted fishing by commercial and recreational interests and illegal netting and trapping by poachers had reduced cod abundance dramatically.
