Thanks for checking this Region out.
This Region is prepared on the a-political concept that if you are interested in 'place' in Australia, the most important aspect that defines 'place', is the 'flow of water'. The Senate is interested in 'place'.
This Region defines its boundaries at the top of the ridge, where water flows one way rather than the other. This leads to a very interesting 'place'.
We are seeking a debate with people who live in this proposed new Region. We know we've got the Region pretty well correct; after all, it's just geography. But if you live in this Region you can tell us a lot of interesting things.
- Do these boundaries define a place that is unique; different to every other Region in Australia? We think that that is probably quite likely.
- Is it a great place, worthy of recognition?
- Upon formation, what should be the name of this Region? Who would be the Lord Mayor? Who would be the two Senators who represent this Region? Who would be the additional Senator that represents the interests of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples in this region? What benefit would flow from a concept of super-Regions for the whole of the Red Centre?
- Would life be enhanced if it was on a fast Ring-Rail that links the Capital City to every other Capital City in Australia?
- Many other interesting things!
We think that this is a great new concept of regional statehood based on real concepts that define life in this particular Region. What do you think?

The black line is added by Bloggerme for discussion only. It shows the likely State boundary based on the flow of water only. As "the ridge" (See FOWTOR) naturally impacts on the development of the language, social or nation groups of the Indigenous people of Australia, the proposed border is often identical to the group boundary shown on the Aboriginal Australia Map. This is as was expected. Variations are social/historical & result in a particular language, social or nation group being represented in two adjoining States. |

Endangered species: Red-finned blue-eye
"Unlike their coastal relatives (such as Honey Blue-eye, nationally listed as vulnerable), Red-finned Blue-eye do not develop long, trailing dorsal and anal fins. This is almost certainly an adaptation to living in the shallow water of the Great Artesian Basin springs where they are found. The future of the Great Artesian Basin was recently assessed by researchers from CSIRO. [...]
"The Red-finned Blue is listed as endangered under both Australian (EPBC) and Queensland legislation and as critically endangered by the IUCN. In September 2012 the species was included in the IUCN book “Priceless or Worthless?”, the aim of which was to publicise the plight of the 100 most endangered species worldwide."

the Great Artesian Basin
"The Great Artesian Basin is huge and ancient underground “water tank” big enough to fill Sydney Harbour 130,000 times. It streches from Cape York down to Dubbo and further west than Coober Pedy and has been providing the only reliable source of fresh water for rural communities in Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and the Northern Territory since the first bore holes were sunk in the 19th century. But new interactions between industries such as agriculture, mining and the water itself has prompted the big question: how does the Great Artesian Basin really work?
"Great Artesian Basin Water Resource Assessment was released this week. It’s the most comprehensive assessment to date of the Basin’s water flows and physical structure (its hydrology and geology).
"Based on research by CSIRO and Geoscience Australia, the assessment provides a substantial update to knowledge about the Basin, benefiting from improved techniques to measure and monitor water movement, and incorporating new methodologies that link a range of “development” and management scenarios. The last assessment of the Basin, which primarily focused on hydrology, was in 1980."
Brian Smerdon Senior Research Scientist, Groundwater Hydrology at CSIRO: The Conversation 28 March 2013, 2.33pm AEST
