	About Spinifex
		About Us Based in Brisbane, Spinifex is a private company established in June 2005 to undertake drug development activities leading to the commercialisation of potential new drug candidates for the treatment and management of pain.
		Spinifex will conduct the preclinical and early-phase clinical studies before actively seeking a partnership with a major pharmaceutical company to help complete clinical development, file for regulatory approval, and carry out marketing activities.
		Spinifex believes that its core activities of preclinical and initial clinical development are the stages in the drug development process that provide the most potential return to shareholders by avoiding the high risks associated with initial drug discovery and the high costs incurred in the late-stage clinical studies and selling and marketing products.

		Spinifex is also the name given to a group of spiny-leaved, tussock-forming grasses of inland Australia.
		Spinifex is perennial, which means it does not have a time when it is dormant or not seen, but grows all the time.
		Spinifex grasses provide the ideal habitat for raptors (birds of prey), such as the Australian hobby, Nankeen kestrel and large spotted harrier, and other birds such as parrots, budgerigars and cockatoos.

	Kysela Pere et Fils, Ltd.: Spinifex
		Spinifex was conceived by Magali Gely and Peter Schell in 2001 with the ambition to hand make wines from ultra-select vineyards in the finest terroirs of the Barossa Valley.
		Spinifex wines are produced from old (50 to 120 years) and low yielding Shiraz, Mataro (Mourvèdre), Grenache and Cinsault vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys.
		In keeping with the spinifex approach to hand crafting unique wines, the fruit for this wine was hand-picked from six low yielding Barossa vineyards, fermented in small batched, basket pressed and matured separately for 20 months in a selection of French oak.

		In a few miles we were in desert country--undulations of sand and spinifex, with frequent clumps of dense mallee, a species of eucalyptus, with several straggling stems growing from one root, and little foliage except at the ends of the branches, an untidy and melancholy-looking tree.
		Spinifex plains, undulating sand-plains, rolling sandhills, steep sand-ridges, mallee scrubs, desert-gum forests, and dense thickets of mulga.
		On the 12th we crossed a narrow salt lake and bade adieu to the sand and spinifex.

	Spinifex
		Although they occur primarily in the semi-arid zones of Australia, spinifex species are well adapted to fire.
		Wildfires are started by lightning strikes and Aboriginal people have traditionally used fire in spinifex landscapes for a number of purposes, as do other contemporary rangeland and natural resource managers.
		Many species of spinifex are extremely resinous, to the extent that resin may drip down the stems and leaves on hot days, and large residual lumps of resin often may be seen at the bases of hummocks which have burned.

		The book is based on Cane's extensive work documenting and defining the customary land tenure of these people as part of their claim to native title (which was formally recognised by the Federal Court of Australia in November, 2001).
		Eventually most people were moved from the Spinifex homelands to missions at Cundeelee and Warburton - although some senior custodians stayed in the desert to maintain responsibilities.
		It is difficult to imagine the Spinifex people feeling comfortable with, for example, Cane recounting his participation in serious men's ceremonies.

		Magmatists are being disingenuous in citing spinifex texture, or spinifex growth, as cut-and-dried evidence for magmatic ores, and promoting the notion that large growth = 'quenched' = quickly cooled from a high temperature melt = magma (e.g.
		The spinifex zone represents a 'wild' metamorphic assemblage in magnesium-rich, metasomatising serpentinite in the shear/ dilational environment of the neck.

		Mr Grant is in London for the showing of the Spinifex people's first overseas art exhibition — an exhibition which is attracting international interest, not just because of the artworks themselves, but because of why Mr Grant and other tribal elders began to paint.
		I mean, I just think that the Spinifex people and some of the work they're doing, along with some of the work that the women of the Pitjantjatjara people are doing, is just the next generation on from the dot paintings that were so famous back in the '70s and '80s.

	Spinifex textures in komatiite, Munro Township (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Munro Township in Ontario and Kambalda in Western Australia are the two type areas of ultramafic rocks from which spinifex textures are described.
		Descriptions from both those localities underpin the entire edifice of magmatic models for ultramafic-hosted nickel deposits yet boudinage, which is clearly part of the deformation picture at both localities, and arguably controls the mineralisation in both instances, remains (obstinately) unrecognised (except here).
		Spinifex textures occurring mainly in ultramafics, but also described from other rocks, are thus far the sacred cow of magmatism.

	Aboriginal Art- Painting by The Spinifex People (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Because of the inaccessibility of their traditional lands and the harshness of their environment, the Spinifex People were left largely untroubled by the European settlement of Australia, able to continue their millennia — old way of life, hunting, gathering, drinking from water-holes hidden in the desert, and performing their ceremonies.
		The isolation began to change, however, at the beginning of the 1950s, as graded roads were run across their country, prior to the establishment — in 1956 — of the Giles Weapons Research Station in the heart of the desert.
		These artists are the traditional owners of the Spinifex country, and their paintings are vivid symbolic testimonies to the relationship between the Spinifex People, their land and all that comes from it.
