Title A name given to the resource Talking Fish Subject The topic of the resource Historical studies History and archaeology Environmental science and management Environmental history Aquatic ecology Description An account of the resource Talking Fish is a research data collection of oral histories and local knowledge in building community participation in Murray-Darling Basin river rehabilitation. It includes a cross section of age, class, gender, and Indigenous Australian communities. The Talking Fish project covers 12 reaches within the Basin: <ul><li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Namoi">Namoi River (NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Condamine">Upper Condamine River (Qld)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Katarapko">Katarapko Creek (SA)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Murrumbidgee">Upper Murrumbidgee River (NSW / ACT)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Culgoa-Balonne">Culgoa-Balonne Rivers (Qld / NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Paroo">Paroo River (Qld)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Goulburn">Goulburn River (Vic)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Anabranch">Darling and the Great Anabranch (NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Ovens">Ovens River (Vic)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Murray">Mainstem Murray River (NSW / Vic)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Upper+Darling">Darling River-Bourke to Brewarrina (NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Coorong">The Coorong and Lower Lakes (SA)</a></li> </ul>Recent decades have brought an increasing realisation that the health of the Murray-Darling Basin is at risk. An array of pressures ranging from the over allocation of water resources, poor land management planning and the expansion of primary production have all contributed to declines in river health. Fish and their habitats have been greatly affected by these pressures, with estimates suggesting native fish populations are at 10% of pre-European colonisation levels. As all levels of government explore options for improving the health of the Murray-Darling Basin, the knowledge held by people within the community who have had a lengthy association with the waterways of the Basin is being increasingly recognised as a valuable resource. People’s lived experience provides a unique insight into how changes in rivers and their associated habitats have occurred over time. Accessing and recording this information will make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the Murray-Darling Basin, and help shape the management decisions of the future to achieve improved river health outcomes. Many different groups of people have developed unique relationships with rivers and their associated environments. The long history of recreational fishing within the Basin has led generations of people to spend substantial amounts of time on or near its rivers. Their desire to experience the river and to catch fish has developed a refined understanding of how fish relate to the riverine environment, and consequently how the changes to these environments have affected the status of native fisheries. Similarly, Indigenous peoples have relationships with the rivers that stretch back tens of thousands of years before the arrival of European colonisers. This strong and lasting association has also allowed Indigenous peoples to witness contemporary changes to the health of the Basin’s rivers and observe how these changes have influenced fish and their habitats. In addition, landholders, long-time residents, regular tourists and an array of other community stakeholders hold stories and memories of the river that are an invaluable resource for guiding its future management. The project represents a unique collaboration between some of Australia’s most prominent ecological oral historians (both within tertiary institutions and commercial production companies), all four Basin-state fisheries agencies and regional NRM organisations. The integration of research institutions, government and local community stakeholders provides a diverse and flexible framework to access a wide range of participants and ensure the collection, analysis and presentation of information is in accordance with national and international best practice. The project delivered a suite of oral history recordings from across the Basin, while also developing communication products in the form of radio features and community booklets. This output was deposited with the Mitchell Library of the State Library of New South Wales and the Australian Torres Strait Islander Digital Archive (ATSIDA). Physical copies are held at the Mitchell Library (Accession Record MLOH 647).

Title A name given to the resource Talking Fish Subject The topic of the resource Historical studies History and archaeology Environmental science and management Environmental history Aquatic ecology Description An account of the resource Talking Fish is a research data collection of oral histories and local knowledge in building community participation in Murray-Darling Basin river rehabilitation. It includes a cross section of age, class, gender, and Indigenous Australian communities. The Talking Fish project covers 12 reaches within the Basin: <ul><li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Namoi">Namoi River (NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Condamine">Upper Condamine River (Qld)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Katarapko">Katarapko Creek (SA)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Murrumbidgee">Upper Murrumbidgee River (NSW / ACT)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Culgoa-Balonne">Culgoa-Balonne Rivers (Qld / NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Paroo">Paroo River (Qld)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Goulburn">Goulburn River (Vic)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Anabranch">Darling and the Great Anabranch (NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Ovens">Ovens River (Vic)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Murray">Mainstem Murray River (NSW / Vic)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Upper+Darling">Darling River-Bourke to Brewarrina (NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Coorong">The Coorong and Lower Lakes (SA)</a></li> </ul>Recent decades have brought an increasing realisation that the health of the Murray-Darling Basin is at risk. An array of pressures ranging from the over allocation of water resources, poor land management planning and the expansion of primary production have all contributed to declines in river health. Fish and their habitats have been greatly affected by these pressures, with estimates suggesting native fish populations are at 10% of pre-European colonisation levels. As all levels of government explore options for improving the health of the Murray-Darling Basin, the knowledge held by people within the community who have had a lengthy association with the waterways of the Basin is being increasingly recognised as a valuable resource. People’s lived experience provides a unique insight into how changes in rivers and their associated habitats have occurred over time. Accessing and recording this information will make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the Murray-Darling Basin, and help shape the management decisions of the future to achieve improved river health outcomes. Many different groups of people have developed unique relationships with rivers and their associated environments. The long history of recreational fishing within the Basin has led generations of people to spend substantial amounts of time on or near its rivers. Their desire to experience the river and to catch fish has developed a refined understanding of how fish relate to the riverine environment, and consequently how the changes to these environments have affected the status of native fisheries. Similarly, Indigenous peoples have relationships with the rivers that stretch back tens of thousands of years before the arrival of European colonisers. This strong and lasting association has also allowed Indigenous peoples to witness contemporary changes to the health of the Basin’s rivers and observe how these changes have influenced fish and their habitats. In addition, landholders, long-time residents, regular tourists and an array of other community stakeholders hold stories and memories of the river that are an invaluable resource for guiding its future management. The project represents a unique collaboration between some of Australia’s most prominent ecological oral historians (both within tertiary institutions and commercial production companies), all four Basin-state fisheries agencies and regional NRM organisations. The integration of research institutions, government and local community stakeholders provides a diverse and flexible framework to access a wide range of participants and ensure the collection, analysis and presentation of information is in accordance with national and international best practice. The project delivered a suite of oral history recordings from across the Basin, while also developing communication products in the form of radio features and community booklets. This output was deposited with the Mitchell Library of the State Library of New South Wales and the Australian Torres Strait Islander Digital Archive (ATSIDA). Physical copies are held at the Mitchell Library (Accession Record MLOH 647).

Title A name given to the resource Talking Fish Subject The topic of the resource Historical studies History and archaeology Environmental science and management Environmental history Aquatic ecology Description An account of the resource Talking Fish is a research data collection of oral histories and local knowledge in building community participation in Murray-Darling Basin river rehabilitation. It includes a cross section of age, class, gender, and Indigenous Australian communities. The Talking Fish project covers 12 reaches within the Basin: <ul><li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Namoi">Namoi River (NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Condamine">Upper Condamine River (Qld)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Katarapko">Katarapko Creek (SA)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Murrumbidgee">Upper Murrumbidgee River (NSW / ACT)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Culgoa-Balonne">Culgoa-Balonne Rivers (Qld / NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Paroo">Paroo River (Qld)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Goulburn">Goulburn River (Vic)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Anabranch">Darling and the Great Anabranch (NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Ovens">Ovens River (Vic)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Murray">Mainstem Murray River (NSW / Vic)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Upper+Darling">Darling River-Bourke to Brewarrina (NSW)</a></li> <li><a href="http://dharmae.research.uts.edu.au/items/browse?tags=Coorong">The Coorong and Lower Lakes (SA)</a></li> </ul>Recent decades have brought an increasing realisation that the health of the Murray-Darling Basin is at risk. An array of pressures ranging from the over allocation of water resources, poor land management planning and the expansion of primary production have all contributed to declines in river health. Fish and their habitats have been greatly affected by these pressures, with estimates suggesting native fish populations are at 10% of pre-European colonisation levels. As all levels of government explore options for improving the health of the Murray-Darling Basin, the knowledge held by people within the community who have had a lengthy association with the waterways of the Basin is being increasingly recognised as a valuable resource. People’s lived experience provides a unique insight into how changes in rivers and their associated habitats have occurred over time. Accessing and recording this information will make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the Murray-Darling Basin, and help shape the management decisions of the future to achieve improved river health outcomes. Many different groups of people have developed unique relationships with rivers and their associated environments. The long history of recreational fishing within the Basin has led generations of people to spend substantial amounts of time on or near its rivers. Their desire to experience the river and to catch fish has developed a refined understanding of how fish relate to the riverine environment, and consequently how the changes to these environments have affected the status of native fisheries. Similarly, Indigenous peoples have relationships with the rivers that stretch back tens of thousands of years before the arrival of European colonisers. This strong and lasting association has also allowed Indigenous peoples to witness contemporary changes to the health of the Basin’s rivers and observe how these changes have influenced fish and their habitats. In addition, landholders, long-time residents, regular tourists and an array of other community stakeholders hold stories and memories of the river that are an invaluable resource for guiding its future management. The project represents a unique collaboration between some of Australia’s most prominent ecological oral historians (both within tertiary institutions and commercial production companies), all four Basin-state fisheries agencies and regional NRM organisations. The integration of research institutions, government and local community stakeholders provides a diverse and flexible framework to access a wide range of participants and ensure the collection, analysis and presentation of information is in accordance with national and international best practice. The project delivered a suite of oral history recordings from across the Basin, while also developing communication products in the form of radio features and community booklets. This output was deposited with the Mitchell Library of the State Library of New South Wales and the Australian Torres Strait Islander Digital Archive (ATSIDA). Physical copies are held at the Mitchell Library (Accession Record MLOH 647).

For Phillip, life on the river as a Ngemba man revolved around the Barwon River with fishing and swimming being favourite pastimes for the entire family. Phillip passionately discusses a wide range of topics that include growing up along the river; the impacts on the Upper Darling and surrounds caused by weirs and restrictions; Aboriginal history; the significance of connection to Country and water; Aboriginal law and personal responsibilities; and the relationships between neighbouring Aboriginal nations. He also points out the cultural shifts he has witnessed; from that of a group-focused, collectivist culture, to a more Western-aligned culture of individualism with its self-focused culture, and its consequences on Aboriginal kinship values, society and the environment.

An array of pressures ranging from the over allocation of water resources, poor land management planning and the expansion of primary production have all contributed to declines in river health. Fish and their habitats have been greatly affected by these pressures, with estimates suggesting native fish populations are at 10% of pre-European colonisation levels. As all levels of government explore options for improving the health of the Murray-Darling Basin, the knowledge held by people within the community who have had a lengthy association with the waterways of the Basin is being increasingly recognised as a valuable resource. People’s lived experience provides a unique insight into how changes in rivers and their associated habitats have occurred over time. Accessing and recording this information will make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the Murray-Darling Basin, and help shape the management decisions of the future to achieve improved river health outcomes. Many different groups of people have developed unique relationships with rivers and their associated environments. The long history of recreational fishing within the Basin has led generations of people to spend substantial amounts of time on or near its rivers. Their desire to experience the river and to catch fish has developed a refined understanding of how fish relate to the riverine environment, and consequently how the changes to these environments have affected the status of native fisheries. Similarly, Indigenous peoples have relationships with the rivers that stretch back tens of thousands of years before the arrival of European colonisers. This strong and lasting association has also allowed Indigenous peoples to witness contemporary changes to the health of the Basin’s rivers and observe how these changes have influenced fish and their habitats. In addition, landholders, long-time residents, regular tourists and an array of other community stakeholders hold stories and memories of the river that are an invaluable resource for guiding its future management. The project represents a unique collaboration between some of Australia’s most prominent ecological oral historians (both within tertiary institutions and commercial production companies), all four Basin-state fisheries agencies and regional NRM organisations. The integration of research institutions, government and local community stakeholders provides a diverse and flexible framework to access a wide range of participants and ensure the collection, analysis and presentation of information is in accordance with national and international best practice. The project delivered a suite of oral history recordings from across the Basin, while also developing communication products in the form of radio features and community booklets.

Robert Lacey is an Indigenous man who has resided in the St George area in southern Queensland most his life. His people are the traditional owners of the land: his mother is a Mandandanji woman, while his father is a Waka Waka man. Robert discusses the connection he has with the land and the river, he expresses the honour he feels in being trusted to take care of Country. He discusses the history of the river and its declining health; commercial use of the river; and the work he personally does on recording the sites of cultural significance and heritage sites finding over 100 in just a few years. He says that the river is a source of peace, tranquility, food, leisure - the life blood of the land. Robert also mentions the Great Artesian Basin Sustainability Initiative (GABSI) and his elation at the 1967 Australian Referendum and what it meant for Aboriginal people, and also the political activism by his family.

An array of pressures ranging from the over allocation of water resources, poor land management planning and the expansion of primary production have all contributed to declines in river health. Fish and their habitats have been greatly affected by these pressures, with estimates suggesting native fish populations are at 10% of pre-European colonisation levels. As all levels of government explore options for improving the health of the Murray-Darling Basin, the knowledge held by people within the community who have had a lengthy association with the waterways of the Basin is being increasingly recognised as a valuable resource. People’s lived experience provides a unique insight into how changes in rivers and their associated habitats have occurred over time. Accessing and recording this information will make a significant contribution to our knowledge of the Murray-Darling Basin, and help shape the management decisions of the future to achieve improved river health outcomes. Many different groups of people have developed unique relationships with rivers and their associated environments. The long history of recreational fishing within the Basin has led generations of people to spend substantial amounts of time on or near its rivers. Their desire to experience the river and to catch fish has developed a refined understanding of how fish relate to the riverine environment, and consequently how the changes to these environments have affected the status of native fisheries. Similarly, Indigenous peoples have relationships with the rivers that stretch back tens of thousands of years before the arrival of European colonisers. This strong and lasting association has also allowed Indigenous peoples to witness contemporary changes to the health of the Basin’s rivers and observe how these changes have influenced fish and their habitats. In addition, landholders, long-time residents, regular tourists and an array of other community stakeholders hold stories and memories of the river that are an invaluable resource for guiding its future management. The project represents a unique collaboration between some of Australia’s most prominent ecological oral historians (both within tertiary institutions and commercial production companies), all four Basin-state fisheries agencies and regional NRM organisations. The integration of research institutions, government and local community stakeholders provides a diverse and flexible framework to access a wide range of participants and ensure the collection, analysis and presentation of information is in accordance with national and international best practice. The project delivered a suite of oral history recordings from across the Basin, while also developing communication products in the form of radio features and community booklets.
