Researchers who have been pushing for a more transparent land use data say knowing who owns Australia is essential not only for proper management of our national resources but to understand who we are as a country.
Dr Laurence Troy, of the University of Sydney, was one of three researchers who worked on a 2012 report for the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation, which developed a framework for analysing national patterns of ownership change, aggregation and fragmentation of agricultural land. “I see [ownership] as a central question in how our society operates,” Troy says. “There is a lot of wealth and power tied up in property … it is important for a whole load of transparency around the structure of property and who owns property.” The report began as an attempt to track the fragmentation of rural land through housing developments and subdivisions into lifestyle blocks.
Settlement patterns in early Australia. Introduction When we discuss settlement patterns, we look at the historical flows and migration patterns of the population over time.
We also observe population growth rates and density rates in particular areas. By observing past and present settlement patterns, we can observe the impacts of change on different Australian communities. See image 1 European landing and its impact. Natural disasters.

The next closest to this was the 2006 where we had about 13 inches of rain for the year. Australian Disaster Resilience Knowledge Hub. Geoscience Australia — Earthquakes @ GA.

Antarctic webcams. The Australian Antarctic Division operates webcams at its four permanent stations: three on the Antarctic continent at Mawson, Casey and Davis, and the other at sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island.
The icebreaker Aurora Australis has a webcam which operates when the ship is on hire to the Division for scientific and resupply voyages in the Southern Ocean. There is also a daily construction timelapse video for Australia’s new icebreaker, Nuyina. In addition, the krill cam gives an insight into life in the Division’s marine research aquarium where scientists study the the physiology, behaviour and reproduction of krill. Weather data is collected by automatic weather stations operated by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology and AAD personnel at the stations. This data is also held by the Australian Antarctic Data Centre. Street View Treks: Egypt – About – Google Maps. Great Wall of China Travel Guide & Tours.
