We recognise the diversity of their cultures and the deep connections they have with the region’s lands and waters. We value partnerships with them for the health of people and Country. We pay our respects to Elders past and present, and we acknowledge and recognise the primacy of Traditional Owners’ obligations, rights and responsibilities to use and care for their traditional lands and waters. Contributors The Rivers MEP has relied on a significant body of knowledge inputs from many knowledge domains in which influence waterway health. We would like to acknowledge the contribution of many Melbourne Water staff in developing the Rivers MEP. These people include Sharyn Rossrakesh, Trish Grant, Dr William Steele, Dr Belinda Lovell, Dr Rhys Coleman, Paul Rees, Leigh Smith, Penny Rogers, Shaun Corrigan, Kylie Swingler, Dan Green, Marion Urrutiaguer, Simon Pickard, Al Danger, David Reginato, Mary Catus-Wood, Yvonne Cabuang, James Frazer, Simon Catzikiris, Bronwen Hutchinson, Dan Beasley, Vaughn Grey, Andrew Grant, Elle Bartnik, Ryan Burrows, Sacha Jellinek and Tiana Preston. We also acknowledge the critical contribution that was fostered by the Melbourne Water Melbourne University Research Practice Partnership and the CAPIM (now A3P) partnership. Some of the work that is described in this document is the result of many years of research and the development of models and methods that have integrated data collected over many decades. We acknowledge the Healthy Waterway Strategy Science Panel for their considered advice throughout the development of the MERI framework and subsequent MEPs. Current Membership includes: Michelle Dickson (Chair), Dr Kay Morris, Associate Professor Chris Walsh, Dr Paul Reich, Dr Stephanie Lavau, Rohan Henry, Dr Sara Lloyd, Dr Matt Dell and Professor Ian Rutherfurd. We also acknowledge our committed service providers who supported the development of the Rivers MEP. Drafting and technical support was provided by Alluvium and Whitewater Consultancy. A number of specialist advice has been provided along the way. We would like to acknowledge the following: Dr Andrew Weeks and Josh Griffiths (cesar) (platypus), Dr Melody Serena (APC) (platypus), Dr Matt Dell (vegetation), Streamology (physical form), Professor Nick Bond, Dr Michael Shackleton, Dr David Crook and Dr Alison King (Latrobe Uni) (Fish), AECOM 2012 (birds), Hermann 2016 (birds), Dr Reid Tingley and Dr Chung- Huey Wu (Monash Uni) (eDNA sampling strategy), Dr Andrew Weeks (EnviroDNA) (eDNA sampling strategy), Bird Life Australia (Kerryn Herman, Dr Darren Quin, Chris Purnell, Andrew Silcocks, Bradley Clarke-Young) for testing and developing bird metrics, 1 Rivers Monitoring and Evaluation Plan V1.0 2020 Ecoaerial (Rob Gration) for developing call recognisers for frogs, Symbolix (Elizabeth Stark) frog model, Dr Chris Jones (ARI) and Dr David Cheal (Vegetation), Dylan Osler (Ecological Perspective) (Vegetation) - field testing and Helen Watts – evaluation expertise.

  • The Dandenong Creek Catchment Extends from the Dandenong
    The many dedicated groups already working in the catchment the are limited in their ability to deal with the scale of works necessary to improve the condition of the area. promise A coordinated approach is needed to shape future urban and the vision natural environments so they set standards for and attract the most sustainable 21st century investments and development. iving Links will establish an interconnected web of habitat corridors, linking existing open space, conservation reserves, recreation L facilities and the many fragmented patches of native vegetation across the catchment. It will the enhance the social and economic attractiveness of the region’s rapidly developing commercial, industrial and new residential centres by strengthening their present relationship with the natural environment. Fortunately, many of the basic building blocks needed to help turn the vision into reality already exist. The he Dandenong Creek catchment extends from the Dandenong catchment contains numerous regionally significant Ranges National Park near Kilsyth, sweeps south to include parks such as Jells Park, Shepherd’s Bush and the the rapidly growing industrial and urban areas surrounding Bushy Park Wetlands. These are well connected and T Greater Dandenong and Casey, before flowing south-west to provide a network of walking and cycling trails. link with Port Phillip Bay near Frankston.

  • The Wolfram Mine at Wilks Creek, Victoria by PETER S
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Vol. 13, October 2015 The Wolfram Mine at Wilks Creek, Victoria By PETER S. EVANS ungsten, a hard, steel-grey metal is an important strategic commodity. Historic uses included textile printing and the production of hard alloys for engineering T purposes. In the twentieth century it was an essential element in the heavy manufacturing and armaments industry, and was also used in incandescent lamps, radio valves, electric furnaces, and spark plugs. Steels alloyed with tungsten are especially hard and fine-grained and retain their working properties at high temperatures. The principle ores of tungsten are scheelite and wolframite. Scheelite (calcium tungstate, CaWO4) is a tetragonal crystalline ore named after its discoverer Carl Wilhelm Scheele, a Swedish chemist. Wolframite (a mixture of ferrous tungstate, FeWO4; and manganese tungstate, MnWO4) has a monoclinic crystal structure and takes its name from the early word for tungsten, wolfram.1 Both of these minerals occur worldwide but more than 75 per cent of current world production comes from China.2 The existence of tungsten ores in Victoria was well known by 1869. Wolframite was noted in association with gold reefs at Sandhurst (Bendigo), Smythesdale, Tarrengower and in the basin of the River Yarra.3 Contemporary values for the mineral in England were from £5 to £6 per ton ‘at grass’. A method of refining the ore was known but, with the mining industry in Victoria largely focussed on gold production, little was done to exploit this resource.4 Towards the end of the nineteenth century, industrialised European nations showed an interest in buying Australian ores of tungsten, with well-dressed scheelite fetching £30 or more per ton on the European market.
