These goldfields (McIntyres-Rheola-Orville) spread out along the north- south road between Kingower and Mt. Moliagul ... originally opened by diggers from Korong soon after the discovery of gold at Moliagul at the end of 1852. Kingower Diggings began in the spring of 1853, but what became known as McIntyre’s Wet Diggings, about seven miles south of Kingower, was almost certainly opened before this, and a newspaper note in April 1853 read “A large number of diggers at McIntyre’s, are said to be doing tolerably well”. A notice in The Melbourne Herald in 22 July 1854 said “Parties are doing well at McIntyre’s Two Mile Hut, about seven miles from here (Kingower), on Moliagul Road. These are the “Old McIntyre Diggings”, very wet, with a granite bottom and requiring chain pumps”.

    State of the Parks 2018 Parks Victoria’s management effectiveness evaluation Executive summary The State of the Parks program is delivered on a three to five-yearly cycle to assess the condition of the parks network and evaluate Parks Victoria’s effectiveness in meeting park management goals for nature conservation, Traditional Owner cultural values, historic heritage, visitors and community, and fire and emergency management. It is a best-practice standardised tool based on a World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA) framework, which is used by over 180 jurisdictions world- wide and Parks Victoria is considered a world leader in its use. The program utilises diverse sources of information, including elicitation of staff knowledge and expertise, specialist opinion, community perception data, on-ground monitoring, research programs, corporate data sources and traditional knowledge. The use of expert elicitation in conjunction with qualitative and quantitative information is widely accepted in the evaluation of protected area management effectiveness as well as other large-scale evaluations such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessments. This State of the Parks report is informed by park manager assessments completed in 2018 for 300 parks (more than 90% of the area managed by Parks Victoria) and other available information. State of the Parks identifies and assesses 38 key value types associated with the parks estate under categories ranging from natural values, visitor experience, Aboriginal and historic heritage to economic, social and education values. It identifies and assesses more than 40 threatening processes impacting these values. The impacts of climate change are included under the relevant threatening processes (for example, extreme weather, inappropriate water regime, and inappropriate fire regime).
