West Wimmera Shire Hindmarsh Shire Yarriambiack Shire Buloke Shire Yarriambiack Shire Buloke Shire Hindmarsh Shire West Wimmera Shire The Wimmera Mallee Town & Tourism strategy acknowledges the Koori Aboriginal language groups as the Traditional Custodians for Yarriambiack, Hindmarsh, Buloke and West Wimmera and surrounding Land and Waters. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and emerging, recognising their continued spiritual relationship and responsibilities for Country. The Wimmera Mallee Town & Tourism strategy. This Strategy also acknowledges and pays respect to Australian Indigenous Peoples who were separated from Clan and Country and also reside in Yarriambiack, Hindmarsh, Buloke and West Wimmera and surrounding communities. May these journeys of healing be acknowledged, respected, supported and become mutual objectives for all Australians. 1.

Regional Strategy Town & Tourism Strategy Local strategies proposed for locations across the region Town & Tourism Strategy Level 2 of this strategy responds to town and tourism park level opportunities, directions and learnings gathered through site visits and workshops. The Town & Tourism Strategy recommends projects to guide the revitalisation and tourism preparedness of 16 Towns and 24 Caravan Parks across four shires. These projects should be explored, prioritised, implemented and championed by the community, shires and Wimmera Mallee Tourism. Projects at each location are generally ordered according to their priority of implementation, or their necessary chronological order. While some are ‘quick wins’, it is generally encouraged that rigorous concept planning, professional advice and community consultation is seeked out and undertaken prior to undertaking projects. This report suggests indicative budgets (where possible) for each project at the town and tourism level. These are high level opinions of probable cost based on industry prices, and do not allow for community in kind input. As projects are developed, these budgets will be able to be further clarified. Note that Regional Strategy icons are placed onto Town and Caravan Park maps to indicate where regionwide projects might be implemented on the ground. They are also associated with written project recommendations to indicate where they might align with - and inform - projects recommended locally. 3. Regional Strategy Town & Tourism Strategy Regional Strategy Programs, Networks and Projects The programs, networks and projects listed here form a set of recommended approaches across the region. These are relevant at a region wide level as they contribute to reinforcing the regional character of the visitor experience. Whilst being considered and discussed at a regional level, these icons will be used Self Contained Regional throughout Level 2 of the document to indicate where they could be implemented Accommodation Touring Routes Town Centre & Identity Liveability locally. Located on town and tourist park maps, as well as associated with specific recommendations, these icons suggest how regional level strategy can be woven through the Wimmera Mallee.

It is situated on the Henty Highway, 395 kilometres north-west of Melbourne. The Henty Highway runs north-south through Western Victoria servicing numerous regional centres including Hamilton, Horsham, Warracknabeal and Mildura. Traditional Owners for the area are the Wotjobaluk, Jaadwa, Jadawadjali, Wergaia and Jupagik Nations. These Nations are represented by the Barengi Gadjin Land Council Aboriginal Corporation. Beulah town was established on land that was part of Brim station. When the area was opened up for closer settlement many selectors came from the southern Wimmera district, including the McKenzie’s in 1882. The McKenzie land was subdivided in 1890 and the town was officially proclaimed in 1891. Presbyterians

    Section 4 Western Region 1 Glenelg system 2 Wimmera system 3 Wimmera-Mallee wetland system 3 2 1 90 Victorian Environmental Water Holder 4.0 Western Region overview The Wimmera-Mallee headworks system interconnect three major river basins, the Wimmera, Avoca and Glenelg. The complex network of channels in the Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water (GWMWater) system enables water to be shifted between storages, including from the Glenelg to the Wimmera. Environmental water is predominantly provided under the Wimmera and Glenelg Rivers Environmental Entitlement 2010, with additional water provided to the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder in the Wimmera and Glenelg Rivers Bulk Entitlement 2010. Water available under the environmental entitlement is shared between the Wimmera and Glenelg systems, and the Wimmera-Mallee wetlands. Waterways that receive environmental water include sections of the Glenelg, Wimmera and MacKenzie rivers, Mount William, Burnt and Bungalally creeks, in addition to priority wetlands formerly supplied by the Wimmera-Mallee channel system. Environmental water available for use in western Victoria is held in the Wimmera-Mallee system headworks, which consists of several storages and release points across the two catchments. The headworks system contains many storages and diversions that capture water across the catchments. Moora Moora and Rocklands Reservoirs are in the Glenelg catchment. Lake Wartook, Lake Lonsdale, Lake Bellfield and off-stream storages including Taylor’s Lake Toolondo Reservoir and Lake Fyans are in the Wimmera system. The Wimmera system forms part of the larger Murray-Darling Basin, and will be subject in the future to sustainable diversion limits outlined in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.

  • Multiple Aboriginal Place Names in Western Victoria, Australia Land. Clark Australia
    Ian D. Clark, Australia 201 Multiple Aboriginal Place Names in Western Victoria, Australia lanD. Clark Australia Abstract In a recent paper on transparency versus opacity in Australian Aboriginal placenames, Michael Walsh (2002: 47) noted that in 'Aboriginal Australia it is relatively common for a given place to have multiple names'. In providing an overview of multiple naming practices Walsh observed that he was unclear on how multiple naming works and what its function is. Other than some case studies (such as Schebeck 2002 on Flinders Ranges, South Australia and Sutton 2002 on Cape York, Queensland) we are yet to gain a comprehensive picture for Aboriginal Australia. This paper adds to this discussion through a consideration of multiple naming in western Victoria using the results of research conducted by Clark and Heydon (2002) into Victorian Aboriginal placenames. The paper also considers the policy implications of multiple indigenous naming for place name administration in the state of Victoria which is yet to accept multiple indigenous naming although it has adopted a dual naming policy that allows for the recognition of a non­ indigenous and an indigenous toponym for the one place. *** In a recent paper on transparency versus opacity in Australian Aboriginal placenames, Michael Walsh (2002: 47) noted that in 'Aboriginal Australia it is relatively common for a given place to have multiple names'.
