Come to Benalla on 20–22 April 2018 for the AAFBG Biennial Conference and to Visit the Benalla Gardens and Riverine Parkland AAFBG Newsletter No 49 NOVEMBER 2017 Come to Benalla on 20–22 April 2018 for the AAFBG biennial conference and to visit the Benalla Gardens and Riverine Parkland Some of the many roses in Benalla Gardens History of the Benalla Gardens Benalla sits on the Broken River, so named because in drought it becomes a series of water holes. To the local Aboriginal people, it was the ‘Marangan’ – or big water hole. It provided food and shelter for thousands of years. In 1838 Benalla was described as The Crossing Place on the Broken River. In 1972 the river was dammed to form the Benalla Lake. The Crossing Place now encompasses the Botanical Gardens, Art Gallery, Lake Benalla and surrounding riverine landscape. It remains the heart of the town. As early as 1859 land was set aside for public recreation where the Gardens now stand. The Gardens were commissioned by the then Shire Council during the 1880s. The noted Melbourne landscape designer, Mr Alfred Sangwell, completed this task in 1887. Besides the unusual combination of a large oval and ornamen- tal garden, Sangwell installed gracefully curved walking paths to sweep through plantings of trees and shrubs in keeping with the typical 19th century ‘Gardenesque’ trend for public gardens. Historically botanical gardens were the place where plants were grown for scientific study and public display. Traditionally plants of the same family were grouped together for these displays and this is no more obvious than the rose collections within the Benalla Gardens. There are also still remnants of this historical era to be found in the Benalla Gardens: an Asteraceae bed is located opposite the Art Gallery, and nearby this is a Theaceae bed featuring beautiful Camellias. Gardens of Change Over the past 120 years the Gardens have changed dramatically, particularly during the completion of the Crossing Place Project. The Crossing Place concept was developed in 2001 by a dedicated group of com- munity members, the Crossing Place Committee. This group saw the potential of linking council plans, a Riverine Trail and Waterway Management Plan and the1 Benalla Botanical Gardens Conservation Plan with Continued page 3 Australian Association of Friends of Botanic Gardens Incorporation: AOO26805Z Patron: Dr Philip Moors Office bearers President: Dennis Ayliffe, Friends ANBG Vice President: vacant Sec/Public Officer: Elizabeth Gilfillan, Friends The Friends of Benalla Botanic Gardens and Riverine Parkland Ballarat BG invite you to attend the 2018 AAFBG Members’ Biennial Confer- Treasurer: Kathy Wright, Melbourne Friends ence and look forward to welcoming you to their Botanic Gar- dens and the City of Benalla.

Gardens of Change (cont.) the addition of a Heritage Walk, to create one comprehensive plan for the whole area. The Crossing Place Project aimed to develop and conserve Benalla’s remarkable heritage and environment, create economic growth and promote community development. The Tomorrow:Today Foundation worked with the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR) and the Crossing Place Committee to provide a way for community donations to the project to be tax de- ductible. Dame Elisabeth Murdoch was patron and a strong supporter of the fundraising for the Benalla Rose Garden component of the Crossing Place Project. Just over $1m was spent over nearly three years to see the Project completed in early 2005. Work carried out as part of the Crossing Place Project included: • reinstatement of the 1886 Botanic Gardens path design • improvements to the Gardens frontage and entrances • construction of the Rotary picnic shelter • design & construction of innovative new Rose Garden • Gardens and foreshore lighting • completion of the walking track around Lake Benalla • a new boardwalk near the ceramic mural • an Elm Walk in front of the showgrounds. continued next page The Rotundab built in 1911 and still used today for musical events and weddings. 3 Features of the Benalla Botanical Gardens Benalla Art Gallery The Art Gallery was constructed in 1975 following the donation by a local benefactor, Mr Laurie Ledger. In return for the generous donation of 25 per cent of construction costs and his collection of fine Australian art, Mr Ledger was allowed by council to choose the gallery site and architect. Weary Dunlop Statue Colonel Sir Ernest Edward ‘Weary’ Dunlop, AC, CMG, OBE (1907–1993) was a local surgeon, renowned for his leadership while being held prisoner by the Japanese during World War II. The 1996 bronze sculpture was created by Mr Louis Laumen and represents POW surgeon Dunlop tending a sick POW in Changi. The New Rose Garden The central bed is shaped like an island, sited in a ‘billabong’ of lawn which together represent the original floodplain on which Benalla was built. The roses have been grouped into plantings of individual species of David Austin, Australian, Modern Bush & Shrubs, Tea and Hybrid Musk Roses, plus the dedicated ‘City of Benalla’ rose. Coloured roses from the same ‘modern’ era (1920s onwards) are planted in species-groups, flanking the central red collection. Heritage Rose Garden This bed was designed by local landscape designer Robyn Saunders, and planted in 2009 to celebrate 50 years since the first plantings of roses in the Gardens in 1959. The roses originate from 1830 to 1920, a period which hitherto was missing from the Gardens rose collection. The roses are of various colours from a number of countries and have been selected for their significant scent. Dr Nicholson’s Walk This path is named after a local medico who used to walk around the river to his horse paddock. Dr Nichol- son became famous during the Ned Kelly siege when he was sent by special train to Glenrowan to tend the bushranger’s wounds. Dr Nicholson successfully saved Ned in order for him to later meet his fate at the gal- lows. The walk forms part of a four kilometre trail which winds its way around the lake. Besides the Gardens, the trail passes through stands of remnant River Red Gum and the Benalla Indigenous Community Garden. Continued next page 4 Statue of Weary Dunlop tending POWs, overlooking the rose garden The Cricket Oval Before the Botanical Gardens were laid out during the 1880s, the area was thickly wooded. A cricket ground was established in the 1860s and several years later it played host to a match between Australia and England. Unfortunately the magnificent, original grandstand was demolished during the 1970s. The oval is fringed by a wonderful ring of Elm Trees. Rotunda The Rotunda was built in 1911 in time to celebrate the coronation of King George V and Queen Mary. Dur- ing this era, the Botanical Gardens were a focal point for social gatherings in Benalla. Private gardens were often dusty and lawn-less, so the communal gardens provided a green oasis for people to socialise or take a stroll. Today the rotunda is regularly used for musical performances and even weddings! Mediterranean Border Running adjacent to the Bowls Club boundary of the Gardens is a mass border of species from mostly Mediterranean and similar dry-climate areas. A significant number of plants for this border were sourced as cuttings from gardens owned by Friends’ members. Perennial Border Further around the oval, hugging the carriageway, is a feature perennial bed funded and planted by the Friends in collaboration with the Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria. Within this bed is a unique combination of exotic and native plants which flourish in Benalla’s harsh climate which sees summer tem- peratures over 40 degrees and down to -5 degrees in winter. The New Zealand Bed This bed was planted in 2002 and was designed to complement the modernist architecture of the gallery. The bed features plants endemic to New Zealand. Significant Trees The Gardens were listed on the Register of the National Estate in 1995. Amongst the extensive mature tree collection are three specimens of Ulmus x viminalis which are the only specimens of this particular elm cul- tivar in Australia and are listed on the National Trust’s significant tree register.

  • Why Benalla Is a Great Choice
    About our region Why Benalla is a great choice About 14,000 people live in Benalla and the surrounding district, about two hours’ drive north-east of Melbourne via the Hume Freeway. Benalla is built on both sides of the Broken River, which generally flows in a northerly direction through the town. Damming the river near the railway at the northern end of town created Lake Benalla. Benalla is the gateway to Victoria’s High Country, which is great for those who love hiking and skiing. It is also located close to some of Australia’s best wineries. It is home to Australia’s largest gliding club, attracting pilots from around the globe to experience the area’s world renowned flying conditions. Other highlights of this beautiful town are: Benalla Art Gallery: One of the best regional galleries in Australia with works by Arthur Streeton, Frederick McCubbin, Fred Williams and Sidney Nolan. Surrounded by beautiful botanical gardens and Lake Benalla, the Art Gallery precinct is a Benalla ‘must do’. Winton Wetlands: The restoration of Winton Wetands is the largest wetland resoration project in the southern hemisphere. You can circumnavigate Lake Mokoan or enjoy the peace and tranquility of the bush with a network of bike paths snaking through the reserve. Grab lunch and a coffee at the Mokoan Hub while you’re there. Gliding over Benalla: The Gliding Club of Victoria is the largest Gliding Club in Australia. There are intensive seven day ‘learn to glide’ packages or half hour bookable joy flights, making Benalla the ideal place to learn how to fly.

  • Ovens Murray
    Ovens Murray Infrastructure Victoria is investigating infrastructure investment in regional Victoria that builds on the economic strengths of a region, or that reduces disadvantage, primarily through providing greater access to services and economic opportunities. This fact sheet is focussed on reducing disadvantage, and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying framework for reducing disadvantage through infrastructure. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide evidence that will inform the problem definition for each of Victoria’s nine regions through consultation with stakeholders. The project has a specific focus on areas that experience relatively high levels of disadvantage (ranked in the bottom 30% of the index of Socio-Economic Disadvantage, SEIFA) and this fact sheet provides indicators showing poor outcomes for key demographic groups living in these areas. Infrastructure Victoria invites key stakeholders and service providers to make submissions that provide evidence on which infrastructure could make a difference in reducing disadvantage for the region.

Released to Public Domain by the author. Available: https://www.biolib.cz/en/image/id101309/. 1 Native Range and Status in the United States Native Range From CABI (2018): “C. caroliniana is native to subtropical temperate areas of northeastern and southeastern America (Zhang et al., 2003). It is fairly common from Texas to Florida, Massachusetts to Kansas in the USA, and occurs in southern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and northeastern Argentina in South America (Washington State Department of Ecology, 2008). The species has 1 two varieties with different distributions. The purple-flowered variety C. caroliniana var. caroliniana occurs in the southeastern USA, while yellow-flowered C. caroliniana var. flavida occurs in South America.” From Larson et al. (2018): “Cabomba caroliniana A. Gray is native to southern Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, northeast Argentina, southern and eastern USA.” From Wilson et al. (2007): “In the United States fanwort has been marketed for use in both aquaria and garden ponds since at least the late 1800s, resulting in its repeated introduction and subsequent naturalization outside its original range (Les and Mehrhoff 1999).” Status in the United States Sources differ on the native or invasive status of Cabomba caroliniana in individual states (CABI 2018; Larson et al. 2018), and one source reports that it may not be native to the United
