During intense storms Dimboola can also experience flash flooding with large flows overtopping town drains particularly at road crossings and drain entrances. The flood impacts described in this guide relate to riverine flooding originating from the Wimmera River. The map below shows the expected flooding in Dimboola for a 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP, explanation on page 4) flood. This means a flood of this size has a 1% chance of occurring each year. This is one of many possible flood scenarios for Dimboola. Larger and smaller floods may occur in the future.

    Memoirs of the Museum of Victoria 59(2): 457–529 (2002) NEW PHREATOICIDEA (CRUSTACEA: ISOPODA) FROM GRAMPIANS NATIONAL PARK, WITH REVISIONS OF SYNAMPHISOPUS AND PHREATOICOPSIS GEORGE D.F. WILSON AND STEPHEN J. KEABLE Australian Museum, Sydney, NSW 2010, Australia ([email protected]; [email protected]) Abstract Wilson, G.D.F. and Keable S.J. 2002. New Phreatoicidea (Crustacea: Isopoda) from Grampians National Park, with revisions of Synamphisopus and Phreatoicopsis. Memoirs of Museum Victoria 59(2): 457–529. The Grampians National Park, Victoria, has substantial environmental significance owing to the diversity of endemic species restricted to this reserve. We reinforce this observation by reporting six new species and two new genera of isopod crustaceans endemic to the Grampians, and redescribe two previously known Victorian species representing formerly monotypic genera. These isopods are members of the ancient suborder Phreatoicidea, and show diverse morphologies. To demonstrate the basis for the classification of these species, we present a phylogenetic analysis of exemplar species of most extant genera of Phreatoicidea. Our analysis supports the sister group relationship of Phreatoicopsis and Synamphisopus. We observe a rudimentary accessory flagellum on the antennulae of both genera, but this isopod plesiomorphy optimises on the cladograms as a reversal. Two new genera, Naiopegia gen. nov. and Gariwerdeus gen. nov., are members of the Phreatoicidae, but are distinct from any described taxa in this family. Various metazoan and protist epibionts are commonly encoun- tered on these isopods. These species are described using detailed scanning electron microscopy and inked drawings: family Amphisopodidae, Phreatoicopsis raffae sp. nov., Phreatoicopsis terricola Spencer and Hall, 1897, Synamphisopus doegi sp.

    Wimmera Cmas Newsletter July Chunnup 2018

    Wimmera CMA Newsletter A summary of recent events For upcoming events, please visit our website or follow us on Facebook. Winter: Late May-end of July Chunnup season is depicted by cockatoos, fungi as well as clothes, Totems and the return of Aquila constellation (Bunjil). Long cloaks were made from possum skins. Old people and pregnant women rubbed emu fat into the skin for protection from the cold. For ornamentation, people wore kangaroo teeth necklaces, hat mats and nose piercings. The first of the winter orchids appear including tall greenhood and early Nancy Lily are in flower. Many early Wattles such as Long leafed Wattle, Golden Wattle and Prickly Moses are also in flower. Possums have young in pouch during Chunnup, Sugar gliders give birth and Echidnas are searching for mates. Rising waters cause ducks to seek new feeding and nesting areas and Lapwings are nesting on eggs. Swans and Coot graze on lake shores. Frogs actively call during Chunnup and the ponds are full of water creatures. WATER IN THE WIMMERA Environmental Flows: Flows are temporarily ceasing to ensure sufficient water availability for flows later in winter/spring. However if dry conditions persist, flows for the Wimmera River, Mt William Creek and lower MacKenzie River will recommence in mid-late July. These flows are important to manage water quality issues and maintain habitat. Monitoring: Platypus monitoring along with fish and vegetation monitoring took place on the MacKenzie River, Burnt Creek and Mt William Creek in April. All the monitoring work will be valuable in terms of informing the effectiveness of environmental watering actions and hopefully provide some good engagement outcomes as has been the case in past years.

The next stages of the project will incorporate the landscaping of the former car park area and the refurbishment of the existing Dimboola Library and Customer Service Centre. Landscaping of the former car park will form the Dimboola Visitor Node of the Wimmera River Discovery Trail and will include the establishment of lawn open space areas, construction of pathways, planting of appropriate trees, shrubs, plants and grasses, installation of seating and picnic tables and the construction of new public amenities. Interpretive signage acknowledging Dimboola’s significant indigenous history and culture, local environmental and historical assets and events will also be established. Hindmarsh Shire Council Mayor, Cr Rob Gersch said, “Tenders for the landscaping works have closed and Council Officers are undertaking the tender assessment process. I expect the successful contractor will be appointed in late August with works to commence as soon as possible after that”. “The landscaping that will be carried out in the former car park area will provide a very user friendly and welcoming space between Lloyd Street and the creek and river environs at the rear of the new library” added Cr Gersch. Cr Gersch said, “Now that the construction of the new Library and new public amenities are essentially completed, the landscaping work can effectively be carried out on a greenfield site”.
