Menkhorst Fisheries and Wildlife Division, Ministry for Conservation, Arthur Ryiah Institute for Environmental Research, 123 Brown Street, Heidelberg, Victoria 3084 Abstract The South Gippsland area of eastern Victoria is the most southerly part of the Australian mainland and is contained within the Bassian zoogeographic subregion. The survey area contains most Bassian environments, including ranges, river flats, swamps, coastal plains, mountainous promontories and continental islands. The area was settled in the mid 180()s and much of the native vegetation was cleared for farming. The status (both present and historical) of 375 vertebrate taxa, 50 mammals, 285 birds, 25 reptiles and 15 amphibians is discussed in terms of distribution, habitat and abundance. As a result of European settlement, 4 mammal species are now extinct and several bird species are extinct or rare. Wildlife populations in the area now appear relatively stable and are catered for by six National Parks and Wildlife Reserves. Introduction TOPOGRAPHY AND PHYSIOGRAPHY {see Hills 1967; and Central Planning Authority 1968) Surveys of wildlife are being conducted by The north and central portions of the area the Fisheries and Wildlife Division of the are dominated by the South Gippsland High- Ministry for Conservation as part of the Land lands (Strzelecki Range) which is an eroded, Conservation Council's review of the use of rounded range of uplifted Mesozoic sand- Crown Land in Victoria. stones and mudstones rising to 730 m. -

Utility of the Little Penguin (Eudyptula Minor) As a Bioindicator of Coastal Metal Pollution
Utility of the Little Penguin (Eudyptula minor) as a bioindicator of coastal metal pollution Annett Finger M.Sc. Eng (Honours Zoology) A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute for Sustainability & Innovation, College of Engineering and Science, Victoria University November 2016 "We live on the veranda of the world's greatest island and it's our birthright to have a clean ocean, to catch a feed, to interact with nature. And, like any birthright, we have to safeguard it." ― Tim Winton, ABC interview 2012 “Felix believed that the answer to every problem involved penguins; but it wasn't fair to birds, and I was getting tired of teleporting them back home. Somewhere in Antarctica, a whole flock of Magellanic penguins were undergoing psychotherapy.” ― Rick Riordan, The Throne of Fire "Eudyptula minor" - song written by Kiana Day (age 12) - Verse 1- Fish, squid and krill - that's what they all kill, 'cause they're the kings of the sea (not including you and me, and of course the sharks!). - Chorus - Eudyptula minor - you're not small to me, you're the king of the sea and if you disagree, I can prove it to you - just listen! - Verse 2- Who is so small, but packs a fight? Who can kill fish with just one bite? Who lives on our doorstep and just won't mind? - Chorus - Eudyptula minor - you're not small to me, you're the king of the sea and if you disagree, I can prove it to you - just listen! - Verse 3- Some people say you can't fly, but through the waters you glide. -

Viewing Conditions, and at Worst a Pointless Exercise Since the Populations Vary and Intergrade in Mantle Colour
VOL. 8 (5) MARCH, 1980 LANE: Black-faced Shag Breeding 167 viewing conditions, and at worst a pointless exercise since the populations vary and intergrade in mantle colour. In his description of the birds in the Northern Territory, Boeke! stated that one bird was of a "slightly lighter shade on the dark back than the other". Yet van Tets and later the RAOU Checklist Amendment Committee (Emu 78: 86) boldly assign both birds to the nominate race of fuscus. British birds are known to have reached the Gulf of Guinea and, though less likely as far eastern vagrants, can hardly be excluded from reaching Australia on geographi cal grounds, especially if ship-assisted. From my experience of British and Scandinavian Lesser Black-backed Gulls in Europe and West Africa, and one hour's notes on Kelp or Dominican Gulls Larus dominicanus in Hobart Harbour, I am unable to find any feature of the wing-tip pattern by which the two species may be separated in the field. At Hobart, I could not make out any clearly subterminal white spots on the second (or other inner) primaries, which by van Tets's definition, ought to have been there. The only specimen of adult dominicanus that I have examined is one in the W.A. Museum. It has fresh, unabraded outer primaries and clearly shows a large sub terminal white spot on the outer primary, but only terminal white on the remaining primaries. The use of wingtip patterns as identification fea tures of the large Palaearctic gulls has elsewhere been discredited (see Brit. -
Victoria No.161(P) of 2020 Port of Corner Inlet and Port Albert Deployment of Offshore Acoustic Wave and Current Data Instruments and Mooring System
NOTICE TO MARINERS GIPPSLAND PORTS The following navigation warning is published for general information AUSTRALIA - VICTORIA NO.161(P) OF 2020 PORT OF CORNER INLET AND PORT ALBERT DEPLOYMENT OF OFFSHORE ACOUSTIC WAVE AND CURRENT DATA INSTRUMENTS AND MOORING SYSTEM. DATE: 19th May 2020 DETAILS: Mariners are advised that Two (2) Offshore Acoustic Wave and Current measuring instruments (AWAC’s) to gather data for the proposed Star of the South wind project will be deployed offshore and within the limits of the Port of Corner inlet and Port Albert. The two seabed mounted wave and current measuring instruments will be deployed in approximately 5-6 metres of water at the following positions; AWAC West – south east of Snake Island Island; Lat. 38⁰ 47.250’ S Lon. 146⁰ 35.310’ E Datum WGS84 AWAC East – East of Kate Kearney Entrance Lat. 38⁰ 41.620’ S Lon. 146⁰ 46.560’ E Datum WGS84 See attached Map indicating the proposed positions of the equipment. The AWAC’s will protrude approximately 0.8m from the seabed, are anchored and will be marked on the surface by a Lit Yellow Trinav surface buoy (Q(5)Y.20s) and 5 x 300mm poly forerunner floats. See attached AWAC mooring diagram and photos. The two AWAC’s are scheduled to be deployed sometime between the 8th and 30th June 2020 and are expected to be on station for approximately 12 months, after which time they will be retrieved. NOTICE TO MARINERS GIPPSLAND PORTS A further notice will be issued when the AWAC’s have been deployed.
