14th BIENNIAL ARS CONFERENCE, RENMARK, SEPTEMBER 2006 Transcript of the Closing Plenary Session Chaired by Dr Carolyn Ireland

摘要

Carolyn Ireland (Session Chair; SA Arid Lands NRM Board and Pastoral Board of SA) What a marvellous time it's been, listening to everybody talking about Rangelands and all the things that go into making it such a special place. I've invited two of ourthree daily musterers and a scientist to join Barney and I on the stage today. Paul Williams will start from a pastoralist's perspective. George Cooley will follow him with the Indigenous peoples' perspective on this Conference. From a scientist's perspective Ian Watson will conclude this part of the session. Barney Foran, who opened the Conference, will give us a wrap-up for about 10 minutes with his perspective on where we've come, from Port Augusta and from the beginning of this Conference. He has a few worries to present to you and also a few very positive things to say.
