    VICTORIA’S HERITAGE POINT NEPEAN NATIONAL PARK by Daniel Catrice, 1998. As readers of this column are aware, this year has marked the centenary of two of Victoria’s oldest national parks, Wilson’s Promontory and Mount Buffalo. The celebrations have focused on the ‘centenary’ parks, with seminars, exhibitions and ‘Centenary Walks’ coordinated by the VNPA Bushwalking Program. This year several other parks are also celebrating anniversaries, but to less fanfare. Brisbane Ranges National Park was proclaimed 25 years ago. (The park’s history was the subject of a History Notes article in Sorrento Back Beach circa 1900. Courtesy of DSE Parkwatch, no. 190, September 1997).

They are reflections of how Aboriginal people engaged with their world and experienced their surroundings and are the product of thousands of generations of economic activity, material culture and settlement patterns. The landscapes we see today are influenced by the skills, knowledge and activities of Aboriginal land managers.

    Brief on the Firing of the 6” Gun at Fort Nepean

    The First Shot Introduction On Wed 5 Aug 1914, the brand-new German freighter S.S. Pfalz tried to escape from Port Phillip Bay to the open sea, before WW1 was declared. The Pfalz was built in 1913 and launched from the yard of Bremer-Vulcan, Vesesack, Germany and was 6,750 tons gross, 4,083 tone net and had refrigerated holds – “the finest of her type in the world” according to Frank Brennan, author of 1978 book The Australasian Commonwealth Shipping Line. The ship berthed at No 2, Victoria Dock, on Fri 31 Jul 1914 on its maiden voyage, under Captain W. Kuhiken (Kuluken?) on his first command. War in Europe was declared on Tue 4 Aug 1914 at 11 pm (London time), which was 9 am on Wed 5 Aug 1914 (Melbourne time). Engagement At about 12.40 pm on Wed 5 Aug 1914 (Melbourne time), the S.S. Pfalz was underway and just short of the Port Phillip Heads, having been released from inspection by the RAN near Portsea, when news reached Fort Queenscliff that war had been declared in Europe. Fort Queenscliff (the local coastal artillery HQ controlling all the separate forts in the Point Nepean / Queenscliff / Swan Island vicinity) telephoned Fort Nepean to stop the S.S. Pfalz. SS Pfalz An initial flag signal from Fort Nepean for the Pfalz to heave to was not seen – the Pfalz continued to steam towards the Heads, which were now tantalisingly close from the perspective of the German Captain. Once it was confirmed that the Pfalz was not heaving to in accordance with the Fort Nepean signal, the order was given to fire a shot across the bows of the Pfalz to compel its surrender.

  • Death of Johnny and His Burial on the Foreshore at Mccrae

    Death of Johnny and His Burial on the Foreshore at Mccrae

    10. Death of Johnny and his burial on the foreshore at McCrae Johnny’s death and burial occurred in a later and different era, the gold rush period, 11 years after the Protectorate moved from the Mornington Peninsula. I came upon the location of his grave when seeking information from George Gordon McCrae’s journal about George Smith. Then George Smith turned out to be the earliest legal licence holder of the foreshore where Johnny was buried. I was struck with the intimacy, the connectedness of these people, black and white, in those far-off days: here are the same people, Bogy Bogy/Pereuk and George Smith, first met with in the Protectorate era. And when I went down to the lighthouse precinct to estimate what George Gordon McCrae might have meant by ‘a little to the south of the present lighthouse’, it seemed obvious that Johnny was buried either beneath a public car park or possibly beneath Point Nepean Road. We must walk unknowingly over Aboriginal graves on the Mornington Peninsula, but it is quite a different matter to park vehicles and trailers on a grave once we know it is there. This chapter brings together all the information gathered about Johnny’s death and the location of his grave site. Aboriginal Affairs Victoria will act on the matter. The most well-known account of Johnnie’s death comes to us from the journal of Georgiana McCrae: it survived almost by accident, being included in a portion of Georgiana’s diary ‘Scrip scrap’ which had become separated from the rest of her journals and was found damaged and disordered in her desk:1 it is a brief and moving account.
