Geography

The Geography, of Fort Grey is mostly the flat, arid landscape of the Channel Country but includes Lake Pinaroo.

The parish is to the west of the Silver City Highway and lies entirely within the Sturt National Park.[3]

The Queensland-New South Wales border forms the northern boundary of the parish, which is marked by The Dingo Fence.[4] The parish has a Köppen climate classification of BWh (Hot desert)[5]. The County is barely inhabited with a population density of less than 1 person per 150km² and the landscape is a flat arid scrubland.

History

The Parish is on the traditional lands of the Wandruwandha[6] Aboriginal peoples.[7]

Charles Sturt passed by the parish during 1845,[8] and Charles Sturt camped in the Fort Grey during 1845.

In 1861 the Burke and Wills expedition passed to the east.[9] through what is now the Pindera Aboriginal Area.[10]

Gold was discovered nearby in the 1870s, and the miners were soon followed by pastoralists. [11]

gollark: > "nice editor" sounds good. for instanceI mostly just mean that it will, for instance, keep your current indentation/list level if you add a newline. I can't think of much other useful stuff, markdown is simple enough.> it'd be cool to have a way to embed links to other notes a way that's as easy as adding a tenor gif to a discord messageYou can, it's just `[[link text:note name]]` or `[[note name]]` if they're both the same. "Nice editor" may include something which shows fuzzy matches > sematic taggingI thought about tagging but realized that "bidirectional links" were *basically* the same thing; if you put `[[bees]]` into a document, then the `Bees` page has a link back to it.
gollark: Δy/Δx, if you prefer.
gollark: The slope of the line.
gollark: Ah, so if two adjacent things are the same and both extrema it wants the midpoint?
gollark: If they mean approximately the same things as in the calculus I did, then if the gradient was positive/negative on one side and the same sign on the other it would not be a maximum/minimum but just an inflection point. But if the gradient changes sign, then it can be, and this probably requires a different value to on either side. But I don't really get what they're saying either.
