The Naracoorte Caves National Park is a national park in the southeast of the Australian state of South Australia, 313 km southeast of Adelaide, 83 km north of Mount Gambier and 15 km southeast of Naracoorte. 1994, the area was declared a national park because of its extraordinarily extensive fossil finds and classified together with Riversleigh in Queensland as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The natural world heritage area contains 26 caves on 3.05 km² area. Facilities and sights. The park is a tourist attraction and has a campground, RV park, group accommodation, picnic areas and a cafe. The number of sights is huge. Cave tours are offered by trained guides. There you can see caves filled with a large number of interesting fossils. With the help of modern technology, visitors can be shown the inside of the normally inaccessible "Bat Cave", where thousands of bats breed every year. There are also cave tours for adventurers, a number of special tours and special events. Emergence. The limestone in the area was formed by corals and other marine life 200 million years ago when it was below sea level and again about 20 million years ago when the land was again below sea level. Since then, groundwater has loosened part of the limestone, creating the caves. These caves, like the "Victoria Fossil Cave" or the "Blanche Cave", are often not far underground and holes opened up that posed dangers to the unwary. This created a remarkable collection of fossils. Mammals and other land creatures fell into the open holes and were unable to escape. The fossils were preserved in banks of earth washed and blown from the surface of the earth. In some places the fossil-bearing layer is up to 20 m thick. Some of these areas will be saved for future exploration when better methods of dating and reconstructing fossil records become available. The fossil traps are particularly important for research into the Australian megafauna.
Deepwater rice is the name for different species of rice that grow in deeper water (of to . These varieties have adaptations that allow them to keep their leaves outside the water: Either they have longer leaves, or they float on top of the water. More than people in Southeast Asia including Northeastern India rely on deepwater rice for their sustenance. Two adaptations permit the rice to live in deeper water, floating rice and traditional talls. Traditional talls are varieties that are grown at water depths between . They have developed to be taller and have longer leaves than standard rice. Floating rice grows in water deeper than 100 cm through advanced elongation ability. This means when a field where rice is growing floods, accelerated growth in the internodal of the stem allows the plant to keep some of its foliage on top of the water. The "O. s. indica" cultivar is the main type of deepwater rice, although varieties of "O. s. japonica" have been found in Burma and Assam Plains. Usually, rice is grown in shallow water, using paddy fields.
Oxley Wild Rivers National Park is a national park in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is roughly halfway between Sydney and Brisbane, around 80 km from Dorrigo.

These are several, non-contiguous sub-areas. The Oxley Wild Rivers National Park borders the Willi Willi National Park. Nature. The national park has an impressive landscape in many areas with deep gorges and high waterfalls. Well known is the Wollomombi Falls, the highest waterfall in New South Wales. The predominant plant communities are rainforests, dry eucalyptus forests, grassy woodlands and heathland. A total of about 950 plant species have been documented in the park, of which about 35 are considered rare and endangered. In addition, 55 mammals, 173 bird, 38 reptile and 19 amphibian species have been recorded in the national park. In addition to the populations of the grey giant kangaroos, the wallaroos or mountain kangaroos and the red-necked filanders, the occurrence of the brush-tailed rock kangaroos, of which around 10,000 are found in the national park, are particularly noteworthy. This is the largest known population anywhere. You can also do this in the park Watch koalas and wombats. Among the bird species are particularly the birds of prey, including the wedge-tailed eagle on its prey flights, the peregrine falcon, crested kite () and the white-bellied sea eagle. Introduced animals such as mice and rats as well as feral domestic animals such as horses, goats, cats and dogs can disturb the ecological balance in the park and may be combated by the national park administration. Tourism. There are various accommodations, campsites and hiking trails for tourists, some of which are even usable for wheelchair users and open up various viewing platforms. Further protection categories. In 1987 the national park became a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of Australia's Gondwana Rainforests.

Willandra National Park is a national park in the southwest of the Australian state of New South Wales, 582 km west of Sydney. The park is about 60 km west of the town of Hillston and 170 km northwest of Griffith. Landscape and climate. Willandra National Park was established in 1972 and covers an area of approximately 19,385 hectares. It consists of 13.85 km² of flat grassland bounded to "the north by Willandra Creek", which connects the Lachlan River with the Darling River. The land around the national park is mainly used as extensive pasture for sheep and cattle. Most of the roads in this area are unpaved and become slippery or even impassable even with light rainfall. The climate is semi-arid with very hot summers and cold winters. The park is located on the northern edge of the Riverina plain. History. It is believed that Aboriginal colonisation dates back at least 15,000 years. The Willandra Creek was roughly the border between the settlement areas of the "Wiradjuri" in the south and the "Wongaibon" in the north. The first European settlers came in the 1830s. Initially, the white colonisation by sheep breeders was sparse and allowed the Aborigines to continue their accustomed way of life. But in the 1870s and early 1880s, extensive fencing, building, and river regulation programs began as the first phase of permanent white settlement. In 1894, Willandra became the property of the "London Bank of Melbourne" after the "Whittington Brothers"' corporate empire, who had previously owned the country, collapsed in the economic crisis of the 1890s. Under the management of "Arthur" and "Frank Laird", Willandra became a well-known sheep breeding area in the years that followed and the owners won many awards for the high quality of their Merino herds. In 1912 Willandra was sold to the "Vickery Partnership" and peaked as a ranching company in the 1920s and 1930s. Up to 90,000 sheep were sheared at once and the land area
Brisbane Water National Park is a national park in the east of the Australian state of New South Wales, 47 kilometres northeast of Sydney. It lies north of the mouth of the Hawkesbury River and was named after the "Brisbane Water" lagoon between Gosford and "Woy Woy", which borders the park to the east. The western and northern borders are formed by the Pacific Highway. The park consists of steep sandstone cliffs overgrown with forest. There are many hiking trails in the park that can be classified from easy to difficult. One route that is easily accessible by public transport is to "Pindar Cave" on the rock step above "Wondabyne" Station, a on-demand stop on the "Central Coast Railway Line" (Sydney-Newcastle) which is also the only train station in Australia inaccessible by road. This large park is also home to many other hiking trails such as the "Great North Walk".
An extrajudicial killing (or extralegal killing) is the killing of a person without waiting for the result of a state trial. Extrajudicial killings happen in states which either have laws favoring them, or where the state condones the killing. An example might be that someone is suspected of having done something which dishonors the family. Killing the person might be a way to keep the family in good standing (This is known as honor killing). The state might have laws that do not see this as murder, so the killers will not get a harsh sentence, or they will go unpunished altogether. If forces of the state kill someone this is seen as extrajudicial killing, if none of the following applies: Organisations working against those killings. The United Nations has [an investigator or] a Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions. That person has support from the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR). Morris Tidball-Binz became the Special Rapporteur in 2021. Work is also done by human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.

The Brewarrina fish traps (Also known as "Baiames Ngunnhu") are located in the town of Brewarrina on the Barwon River in the north west of New South Wales, around 800 km northwest of Sydney. It is the largest known Aboriginal fish trap facility in Australia. It is believed to be the oldest human construction in the world although it hasn't been confirmed yet. The fish traps are probably around 40,000 years old, although the exact date is not known. They are around 500 m long. They are in the Ngunnhu Aboriginal territory. The fish traps consisted of many small stone circles that could be separated by stone weirs. There the fish were led so that they could be caught. The design, complexity and size of the facility are unique in Australia. For this reason they are a national monument. Before the European settlement, the Aboriginals used the river for fishing. Stones were removed from the river by the settlers to allow paddle steamers to travel, and rocks were removed in the 1920s to be used for house foundations and roads. The steamships could not sail in the dry season. The Ngunnhu people had strong social, cultural and spiritual relationships with other Aboriginal groups, and they also allowed other Aboriginal countries to fish according to rules, times and periods. They were associated with the Aborigines of the Kamilaroi, Marowari, Paarkinji, Weilwan, Barbinja and Ualaria. The neighbouring Aboriginal countries were invited by Ngunnhu to cooroborees, ceremonies, initiations, trade and barter. The Ngunnhu attribute the possibility of fishing to the mythical Baiame, a dreamtime creature who created the landscape, lakes, rivers and beings.  The plant is partly overgrown by reeds. The fish ladder was opened on June 3 2005 registered in the Australian National Heritage List because it was of particular historical importance for the social and cultural coexistence within the Aboriginals.
Pithecopus rusticus is a frog that lives in Brazil. People have seen it 1330 meters above sea level. This frog lives in grassy places in the forests on the Atlantic side (east side) of Brazil. Scientists say this frog is in big danger of dying out because it lives in such a small place: They found it on private property in 2019. After the owner removed the grassy places, scientists could not find the frog again. Scientists think this frog might be dying because of the fungal disease chytridiomycosis and because human beings change the places where it lives. Some people may catch the frogs to sell as pets. Scientists believe this frog lays eggs on leaves over water and the tadpoles drop into the water after they hatch.
The historic Darlington Probation Station is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located on Maria Island off the east coast of Tasmania, Australia. The camp is in the northwest of the island on "Darling Bay" in Maria Island National Park, where the former Darlington settlement was located. Since 1825 there was a camp on the island for prisoners who had committed serious crimes. From 1842 to 1850 it was operated as one of two British penal camps, alongside the Cascades Female Factory, as an education camp. History. In 1825, the second convict colony in Van Diemens Land (now renamed as Tasmania) was established by Governor George Arthur with 50 convicts and a few soldiers on Maria Island, which was closed again in 1832. Despite the short time, several buildings were built, of which the "Commissariat Store" and the constructions of the convict camp, known as the "Penitentiary", have been preserved. The convicts built a wood, shoe and clothes maker manufacture and tannery. The construction of a mechanised, water-powered clothing manufacture was remarkable. Because of several escape attempts and disciplinary problems, this penal colony was closed in 1832. The Port Arthur prison, which has now been established and could accommodate a large number of convicts, also played a role. Ten years later, the penal colony was reopened as a prison camp on the initiative of Lieutenant Governor Franklin in 1842, after repairing the existing buildings. When a second station opened, more than 800 convicts came to the island and more buildings were erected. Overcrowding created numerous problems and the stations were closed in 1850. Among the convicts was the Irish nationalist from the Young Ireland movement William Smith O'Brien, two Khoikhoi and five Maori who were detained there because of national conflicts over borders. Modern use. The camp has been in operation since 1 Registered in the Australian National Heritage List on August 1, 2007 and in, August 2010; one of eleven Australian Convict Sites recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. The accommodation station is one of the best preserved prison camp buildings from the early days of the
In English, snake oil is the name for a product (usually a drug) that has no real effect but is advertised as a real treatment. History. Many 18th-century European and 19th-century American entrepreneurs advertised and sold mineral oil as "snake oil liniment". Snake oil salesmen added different herbs and spices to the mineral oil, and claimed it could be used to cure many illnesses. Sometimes, "snake oils" also contained other drugs, but they never contained any products made from snakes.  Drugs that claimed to be a panacea were extremely common from the 18th century until the 20th. This was especially true when salesmen sold addictive drugs (including cocaine, amphetamine, alcohol, and opium-based products) at medicine shows. There, they disguised the drugs by saying they were medication or products promoting health.

Hyde Park Barracks in Sydney, Australia is a brick building designed by convict and architect Francis Greenway and constructed from 1818 to 1819. The building on "Macquarie Street" in Sydney CBD, and is listed on UNESCO's World Heritage List as Australian Convict Sites and on the Australian National Heritage List. The site was intended to house male convicts. Today it is operated as a museum by the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales. The building is in close proximity to the historic Sydney Mint and Hyde Park. History. Governor Lachlan Macquarie ordered the construction of brickwork to house convicts until 1838 who had to work for the colonial government of New South Wales. With this building, Macquarie deviated from the previously practiced British colonial policy of creating convict camps in which strict discipline and religious education were practiced, thereby liberalising them. From 1848 to 1886 it was used for young immigrants looking for work and waiting for their families. From 1887 to 1979 it housed courts and government offices. In 1981 the building was restored and today it houses a museum about the history of the convicts. In July 2010 it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List as part of a selected set of Australian Convict Sites. The museum can be visited daily with a few exceptions on certain days and certain public holidays.
