Kangaroo, Australia

The western grey kangaroo (Macropusfuliginosus), the major indigenous herbivore in southwestern Australia, avoids plants of the family Myrtaceae (which include Eucalyptus spp. cloves, and guava), which includes 3500 species on that continent. Essential oils characterize the Myrtaceae many species contain two to nine of these. In one experiment, seven Myrtaceae species were not browsed, while comparable species of other families were. All seven species contained the monoterpene 2,5-dimethyl-3-methylene 1,5-heptadine. The kangaroos also browsed one non-Myrtaceae species (Sollya heterophylla, Pittosporaceae) very little. This species contained the same monoterpene (Jones etal, 2003). 

Three systems possibly result from at least diffuse coevolution rat kangaroos and legumes in Australia, snowshoe hares and Alaska paper birch in Alaska, and brown and collared lemmings in Arctic North America.

This account of tourists on-site behaviour is organised by initially presenting a simple integrative model of place. This neat summative approach is then used to structure the discussion on experientially enhancing features of visited destinations. Attention is directed both to specific attractions and to the broader natural and social environment. Two special topics pertaining to the on-site visit experience will themselves be visited visitor skills and authenticity. The importance of sustainable on-site behaviours is then identified, and a number of mechanisms to enhance sustainable tourist behaviours outlined. Interpretation, and the conceptual scheme of mindfulness to underpin the work on interpretation, are reviewed. Finally, tourist behaviour at a specific location, Australia s Kangaroo Island, is considered. The discussion of this site will cast it as a microcosm of Australian tourism and a globally useful exemplar of tourists on-site experiences.

The flows of Jurassic basalt on Kangaroo Island at the mouth of the Gulf of the Vincent in South Australia are composed of tholeiite and have been assigned to the Wisanger Formation which appears to be a remnant of a more extensive deposit of flood basalt. Milnes et al. (1982) published chemical analyses of 12 specimens and reported concentrations of rubidium and strontium... 

The crustal characteristics of the Jurassic doler-ites of Antarctica and Tasmania relate these rocks to each other and set them apart from Jurassic dolerite in southern Africa and Brazil. This point was emphasized by Compston et al. (1968) in a direct comparison of Rb-Sr systematics of Mesozoic basaltic rocks in southern Victoria Land, Tasmania, South Africa, and South America. In addition, these authors reported K-Ar dates for plagioclase and pyroxene from a pegmatoid in the Lake Vanda sill in Wright Valley of southern Victoria Land. The results indicated a Middle Jurassic age for the Ferrar Dolerite, in agreement with the age of the Tasmanian Dolerite and the K-Ar dates of the Wisanger Basalt on Kangaroo Island of South Australia reported later by McDougall and Wellman (1976).

Fluoroacetate is found in at least 34 species of Gastrolob-ium and Oxylobium (Fabaceae) in Australia, and occurs to the extent of 0.25% of the fresh weight. Bush rats and rat kangaroos in the areas where these plants grow are resistant to poisoning, whereas those from other areas are not (Har-bome, 1986). 

This eucalypt, one of the Mallees, is chiefly found in Kangaroo Island, South Australia. It is a comparatively small plant, seldom reaching more than 12 to 15 ft. in height. It is known locally as the narrow-leaved eucalyptus . The plant was originally looked uponi as a variety of Eucalyptus oleosa, but it is now understood to be a separate species. The oil came into commerce some few years ago under the name of oleosa, but is quite different from the oil which was orimnally known under the same name. The oil is very rich in cineol and has the following characters —...
