# Willochra Plain

The Willochra Plain is a wide plain situated east of Port Augusta, South Australia. The area falls in the view from Mount Brown Lookout and from walking trails in The Dutchmans Stern Conservation Park.

## History

The traditional owners of the area are the Ngadjuri people. The first European explorer to sight the plain was Thomas Burr in September 1842. Burr was traversing the coastal plain between present Port Augusta and Port Pirie, on the western side of the rugged Southern Flinders Ranges, when he decided to leave the coast to cross eastward over the ranges. From the eastern escarpment he found that the ranges overlooked extensive "well-wooded and watered country", now called the Willochra Plain, stretching from what is now Melrose northward toward Quorn. Burr's encouraging reports of his discoveries in this region immediately led to the arrival of European pastoralists.
The Ragless brothers were the first settlers on the plain later in the 1840s; they established a sheep station. The townsite of Willochra was surveyed in 1860 and the brothers established a hotel but the townsite was never further developed and was abandoned during the drought in the 1860s. Overgrazing and the drought lead to the saltbush cover of the land being stripped and the area became a dustbowl. The Ragless brothers survived the drought but later lost the property when it was carved up into paddocks to grow wheat.

## Geography

The plain is bisected by a large but ephemeral gum-studded creek, named Willochra Creek. Willochra is an Aboriginal word meaning "a flooded creek, where green bushes grow". Much of the plain lies north (outside) of Goyder's Line, which since 1865 has delineated the limits of South Australian lands suitable for agricultural settlement because of being semi-arid and drought-affected. Nevertheless, successive governments of the 1870s and 1880s surveyed and released former pastoral land for crop farming. Despite that being done on a generous credit selection basis, many settlers failed to be commercially viable due to the aridity.
As part of that process, many government townships were surveyed to service those settlers. They include Booleroo, Willowie, Hammond, Quorn and Wilmington. Some of these townships have thrived, some have merely survived, while others are practically deserted.

# Texas Association of Women's Clubs

The Texas Association of Women's Clubs (TAWC) is an umbrella organization of African American women's clubs in Texas. It was first organized as the Texas Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in 1905. The purpose of the group was to allow clubs to work together to improve the social and moral life of people in Texas. The club also spoke on topics of interest to black women in the United States.

## History

Mrs. M.E.Y. Moore founded the organization under the name Texas Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in Gainesville, Texas in 1905. Black women had been excluded from joining the Texas Federation of Women's Clubs. In 1906, they affiliated with the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. In 1915, they formally endorsed women's suffrage.
The TAWC began to petition the state in 1918 to raise money for a home for delinquent black girls which later became the Crockett State School. The land for the school was purchased in 1920 by the club. In 1922, the organization created a drive to raise money for the school. Even though the Texas Legislature authorized the school in 1927, funds were never appropriated until 1945.
By the 1930s, TAWC became more involved with supporting home and family life. TAWC participated in the Texas State Fair in 1948, creating a beauty contest during "Negro Achievement Days".
The name was changed to the Texas Association of Women's Clubs (TAWC) in 1956. The organization is still active in Texas, promoting the welfare and rights of women and children.
# Michaelston-le-Pit

Michaelston-le-Pit (Welsh: Llanfihangel-y-pwll) is a village in the Vale of Glamorgan, just to the west of the city of Cardiff, Wales. It is part of the Michaelston-le-Pit and Leckwith community. The community population taken at the 2011 census was 309.
To the south lies the town of Penarth, while to the south west lies the village of Dinas Powys. The Cwrt-yr-Ala estate stands to the west. The ancestral home of the Rous and Brain families, the estate was bought in the early 20th century by Sir Herbert Merrett, a Cardiff industrialist. In 1939, Merrett commissioned Percy Thomas to build him a new home on the site. Cwrt-yr-Ala House is a Grade II listed building and its gardens and grounds are listed, also at Grade II, on the Cadw/ICOMOS Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in Wales.
The village is built near the confluence of two small streams, which join to form the Cadoxton River. The French suffix is possibly derived from a clay pit near the southern end of the village, it having been settled on a Norman family, the De Raneghs, after the conquest.
Llanfihangel-y-pwll means The Church of St Michael and All Angels of the Pool or Pit. It is not to be confused with Latin suffixed Michaelston-super-Ely (Cardiff) or Welsh suffixed Michaelstone-y-Fedw (Newport).
