The following information was compiled from a number of written sources based on language research and ethno-historic observations. It should be noted that the information provided here does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Gunditj Mirring people regarding their tribal affiliations and boundaries. Aboriginal occupation of the Portland region has been dated to at least 11,000 years ago, with use of the coastal regions demonstrated by the presence of recorded shell middens and artefact scatters (Freslov 1992; Kellaway and Rhodes 2002).

    Stockyard Creek, engraving, J MacFarlane. La Trobe Picture Collection, State Library of Victoria. Gold discoveries in the early 1870s stimulated the development of Foster, initially known as Stockyard Creek.

  • Macphersons Arriving in Victoria, 1840-1865
    MACPHERSONS ARRIVING IN VICTORIA, 1840-1865 Alan G. Macpherson St John’s, Newfoundland 2005 The information presented here was extracted from ship lists of assisted immigrants in the State Archives of Victoria in the southern spring of 1988, Australia’s bicentennial year. It covers the period from 1840 to 1865 during which fifty-six ships (fifty-seven voyages) deposited 303 men, women and children of the name — most frequently ‘McPherson’ — on the shores of Victoria. Thirty-four of the voyages originated in Liverpool (60%), with Plymouth and Southampton sending three ships each, London and Greenock two each, Glasgow, Birkenhead and Queenstown (Cork) one each, and ten ships listed with no point of departure. Those ten ships — plus one from Greenock — arrived in the early years of immigration in Port Phillip, the bay which includes Melbourne and Geelong. Melbourne received twenty-one ships, Geelong fourteen, Portland Bay in western Victoria seven, Hobson’s Bay (Melourne) two, and Belfast (Port Fairy) one. The age profile of these immigrants peaked in the 21-25 year cohort (48), and diminished steadily thereafter, the oldest being Murdoch McPherson, the only man to proclaim himself to be an Inverness-shire crofter, aged sixty-five. The profile is as follows: Age Cohort No. Age Cohort No. Age Cohort No. Age Cohort No. Infants 12 16-20 43 36-40 18 56-60 2 1- 5 30 21-25 48 41-45 16 61-65 1 6- 10 28 26-30 37 46-50 4 11-15 39 31-35 32 51-55 5 The immigrant Macphersons came from diverse geographical origins: the vast majority from Scotland and from Highland counties and parishes, but a family of five came from Leigh in Kent, three sisters from Ipswich, Suffolk, three individuals from Middlesex (London), and one from Sussex.

  • Friends of the Great South West Walk
    GREAT SOUTH WEST WALK MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FRIENDS OF THE GREAT SOUTH WEST WALK PARKS VICTORIA DEPARTMENT OF SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENT September 2007 Great South West Walk iv Contents FOREWORD For those who’ve come across the seas, there are boundless plains to share, with courage let us all unite to Advance Australia Fair Australian National Anthem Rarely do the words of an anthem ring as true as ours does to the work of the Friends of the Great South West Walk. It has been my very great pleasure to be associated with the Great South West Walk as its patron since 2005. The honour is heightened by the fact that I follow in the footsteps of only two previous patrons, Bill Golding and Sam Bruton, the founders of the walk itself. This report honours and builds upon the legacy they have left the Friends Group and the wider community. The Great South West Walk is managed by an active ‘friends’ group under the guidance of Parks Victoria. The Friends Group, which presently boasts a membership of 110, has the formidable task of maintaining and promoting the Walk and, with the support of Parks Victoria working to preserve Aboriginal heritage and the environment. In some ways, little has changed since the last Management Strategy in 1996. The foreward to that strategy by Peter Novotny, the then Chief Ranger for the Far South West, stated that ‘the Great South West Walk is one of Victoria's great recreational assets.’ This is still so. It is also the case that the Friends’ group remains reliant on its relationships with local businesses and the Glenelg Shire Council as well as Parks Victoria, the Department of Sustainability and Environment and the local Indigenous groups.
