Notes on Gippsland Aboriginal Place Names (7)
Notes on Gippsland Aboriginal Names Peter Gardner 1.The Meaning of the word “Munjie”(1) The meaning of the word "munjie", amongst other things, is mentioned in an article by John O'Rourke (2). This word has been given various attributed meanings including 'fish' by the Aboriginal Protector George Augustus Robinson. But almost certainly the true meaning, as recorded a number of times by Alfred Howitt, is 'place'. Hence Bukkanmunjie, the original name for Buchan, and also mentioned by O'Rourke, is "place of the woman's bag" and not "evil spirit of the jumping water" as O'Rourke claimed. John O'Rourke wrote: "Coming through from New South Wales one passes through 'rapid water' country, falling into Victoria, and it is found that the (word) Munjie occurs very frequently. Some of the New South Wales blackfellows claim Omeo as their territory, and there are lots of Munjies about there - Hiinomunjie, Tongiomunjie, Lumlamunjie, etc. When you came down to the still water the munjies ceased and I claim this finally proves that the name of the blackfellows for 'jumping water' was munjie." (3) O'Rourke continued: "There is another instance in the Mullick Munjie River, which empties into the Buchan. Formerly it was known as Quag Quag Munjie (4). When the blackfellows became acquainted with milk they used also to call it mullick, and this river is a series of steep rapids, the water coming down like an avalanche of snow, so I presume they changed it in mullick, owing to the foam reminding them of milk." (5) Unfortunately O'Rourke has found an elaborate solution for a simple problem. -

First Published: 1917 583.42 Australian Etext Collections at botany prose nonfiction 1910-1939 Critical revision of the genus eucalyptus volume 3 (Government Botanist of New South Wales and Director of the Botanic Gardens, Sydney) “Ages are spent in collecting materials, ages more in separating and combining them. Even when a system has been formed, there is still something to add, to alter, or to reject. Every generation enjoys the use of a vast hoard bequeathed to it by antiquity, and transmits that hoard, augmented by fresh acquisitions, to future ages. In these pursuits, therefore, the first speculators lie under great disadvantages, and, even when they fail, are entitled to praise.” Macaulay's “Essay on Milton” Sydney William Applegate Gullick, Government Printer 1917 Part 21 CXIII.

Leaves opposite, sessile, cordate ovate or ovate-lanceolate, obtuse or acute, mostly 2 to 4 inches long (or narrow lanceolate, which are alternate and much longer.—J.H.M.). -

Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps
Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps Alpine National Park Avon Wilderness Park Bimberi Nature Reserve Brindabella National Park Kosciuszko National Park Mount Buffalo National Park Namadgi National Park Scabby Range Nature Reserve Snowy River National Park Peter Coyne May 2001 A report to the Natural Heritage Working Group of the Australian Alps Liaison Committee Protecting the Natural Treasures of the Australian Alps About the author Peter Coyne has had an interest in the Australian Alps from early childhood and a long history of interest and involvement in protected area issues. This began with preparation of a management plan as an honours project when such a document was a real novelty. He had the rare opportunity to create national parks, working with the Land Conservation Council in Victoria where he defined the boundaries and gave names to proposed new national parks, including Croajingalong, Snowy River and Tingaringy, which the Government adopted. Dr Coyne joined the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service in its early days and spent four years establishing the Service’s office and operations on Norfolk Island, and introducing the concept of environmental management to the island’s community and government (which led to the creation of the Norfolk Island National Park). He then headed the ANPWS Park Planning Section, personally preparing the management plan for Kakadu National Park and having responsibility for preparation of other plans ranging from central Australia (Uluru–Kata Tjuta) to marine national nature reserves in the Coral and Timor Seas, and park plans for Australia’s remote Indian Ocean Territories. During this time he also developed the legislation and lease to enable transfer of Uluru to its traditional Aboriginal owners and its lease back to the Director of National Parks and Wildlife for continuing use as a national park. -
