Chemical and biological data are given relating to the four lakes near Mount Gambier, South Australia, and to Lake Leake about 32 km to the north-west. The chemical data reveal that despite some similarities there are clear differences in ionic composition between the lakes. These differences are explained as being due to the differing importance of terrestrial and atmospheric ion supply. The biological data are discussed principally from a distributional viewpoint.

Observations of upwelling along the south-east coast of South Australia during the summers of 1983 and 1984 are presented. In situ measurements were obtained from a number of current meters moored across the continental shelf near 37.5�S.,139.5�E. These were complemented by wind and sea level measurements along the coast and also monthly hydrographic surveys. Differences between summer and winter regimes are discussed in both physical and dynamical terms. The summer weather pattern gives rise to winds which are favourable to upwelling along this coast more than 50% of the time (i.e. winds from the south-east quarter). The evolution of two upwelling events and the associated shelf circulation are documented. Salient features include the offshore transport of water in a shallow surface layer 0 (20 m) in response to south-easterly winds; an onshore compensatory flow occurs almost immediately below. The summer thermocline shoals soon after the onset of winds favouring upwelling, leading to pronounced cross-shelf surface-temperature gradients with cooler (upwelled) water at the surface near the coast. The surfaced thermocline moves offshore and attains an equilibrium position in the vicinity of the shelf edge (after 4-5 days), as shown by infrared satellite images, while water from depths of 250-300 m encroaches onto the shelf. Alongshore currents reach speeds of more than 50 cm s-1 in the outer-shelf region and are strongly influenced by the position of the upwelling front. Brief comparisons are drawn with other upwelling regions.

Purpose – Opportunities for malicious cyber activities have expanded with the globalisation and advancements in information and communication technology. Such activities will increasingly affect the security of businesses with online presence and/or connected to the internet. Although the real estate sector is a potential attack vector for and target of malicious cyber activities, it is an understudied industry. This paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of the information security threats, awareness, and risk management standards currently employed by the real estate sector in South Australia. Design/methodology/approach – The current study comprises both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, which include 20 survey questionnaires and 20 face-to-face interviews conducted in South Australia. Findings – There is a lack of understanding about the true magnitude of malicious cyber activities and its impact on the real estate sector, as illustrated in the findings of 40 real estate organisations in South Australia. The findings and the escalating complexities of the online environment underscore the need for regular ongoing training programs for basic online security (including new cybercrime trends) and the promotion of a culture of information security (e.g. when using smart mobile devices to store and access sensitive data) among staff. Such initiatives will enable staff employed in the (South Australian) real estate sector to maintain the current knowledge of the latest cybercrime activities and the best cyber security protection measures available. Originality/value – This is the first academic study focusing on the real estate organisations in South Australia. The findings will contribute to the evidence on the information security threats faced by the sector as well as in develop sector-specific information security risk management guidelines.

The new material on which this paper is based has lately been received through Mr. D. Ferguson, who recently investigated the geology of the island, and collected the rocks described in an earlier paper. It consists of twenty-seven rock specimens from the south-eastern end of the island, between Cape Disappointment and Cooper Island, and nine specimens from Gold Harbour on the north-east coast between Cooper Island and Royal Bay. All these were collected by the staff of the South Georgia Co., Ltd., under the instructions of Mr. Th. E. Salvesen, managing director, of Leith.

Approximately 10% of children and adolescents experience mental health problems, however only a small proportion receive specialised help. Identifying approaches which can provide a balanced and effective service for the large number of children and adolescents with problems is currently a major challenge for child and adolescent mental health services in Australia. In South Australia, following a review in 1983, child and adolescent services were reorganised into two separate but closely related services. This paper draws on experience in South Australia over the last decade to identify approaches which can be employed in six key areas that significantly influence the effectiveness of child and adolescent mental health services. The paper also describes the specific features which were included in the South Australian child and adolescent mental health service to address these issues.
