    By Tilly Reynolds and Caitlin Griffith VICTORIAN NATIONAL PARKS ASSOCIATION The Victorian National Parks Association (VNPA) helps shape the agenda for creating and managing national parks, conservation reserves and other important natural areas across land and sea in Victoria. The VNPA works with all levels of government, the scientific community and the general community to achieve long term, best practice environmental outcomes. The VNPA is also Victoria’s largest bushwalking club and provides a range of information, education and activity programs to encourage Victorians to get active for nature. REEF WATCH Reef Watch is a citizen science program run by the VNPA. The program encourages divers and snorkellers to monitor marine life at their favourite dive sites. The project has been developed by the Australian Marine Conservation Society and the Marine and Coastal Community Network. Reef Watch co-ordinates a number of marine conservation programs, including ‘Feral or in Peril’ and the Great Victorian Fish Count. In 2012 Reef Watch won the 2012 award for Excellence In Education from Victoria’s Coastal Council.

I would like to pay my respects to their Elders, past and present, and the Elders from other communities who may be here today. The land of the Boon Wurrung and Bunurong people extends from the Werribee Creek in the north to Wilson's Promontory in the east. DRAW MAP ON SAND The traditional culture of Indigenous people is characterised by strong recognition and valuing of the roles of elders and traditional customs, such as reciprocity and a shared vision of community.

[Victoria Government Gazette No. G39 12 October 1988 p.3092] Transferred to the Victorian Heritage Register 23 May 1998 (2 years after the proclamation of the Heritage Act 1995 pursuant to the transitional provisions of the Act) Statement of Significance: South Channel Fort, constructed between 1879 and 1888, was designed by Colonel Peter Scratchley of the Royal Engineers using the 'Twydall Redoubt' principles of sand parapets to be the key fort in the network of the outer defences of Port Phillip protecting it from anticipated naval attacks in the late nineteenth century. The fort was intended to play a key role in holding enemy ships in a triangle of fire between Queenscliff, Point Nepean (or Point Franklin) and its own guns; and to lay, control and test the minefield in the South Channel. 1 The fort is an artificial island built up on 14,000 tonnes of bluestone boulders and concrete with sand overburden. It is 121.9 metres long, 76.2 metres wide and 6.4 metres high above sea level. The fortifications comprise a concrete and red-gum military dugout bunker system which is mainly underground with some areas breaking the surface as gun emplacements facing south and as a service yard facing north.

  • Popular Rhymes of Scotland : Original Poems
    POPULAR EHYMES OF SCOTLAND. RHYMES ON PLACES. Natural objects of a conspicuous kind, as mountains and rivers, attract the attention of the rudest people, and pro- bably are the lirst which receive names in the infancy of a newly-settled country. There is a disposition in Scotland, and probably in other countries, to work up the names of such objects in verse, sometimes with associated circum- stances, but often with little besides a bare enumeration or list. Thus arises a large class of what may be called Topo- graphical Rhymes. In some instances the ideas introduced are of a striking- and poetical nature ; and it is worthy of remark, that, even where the names alone are given in the versified list, there is usually a euphony in the structure of the verse, which makes it tell on the simple ear like a strain of one of our pastoral melodies. In other instances, these rhymes are curious on account of the grotesque words which they introduce to notice. It would almost appear as if the composers of such verses had addressed themselves on some occasions to select a set of the most whimsical names of places and men in their vicinity, for the amuse- ment of strangers. Another section of our topographical rhymes contain allusions to events of a public or private nature, or pre- dictions of events expected yet to come. Others relate to things for which the places were remarkable. ' ! — —— — POPULAR RHYMES OF SCOTLAND. BERWICKSHIRE.

  • PORT PHILLIP BAY CHANNEL DEEPENING PROJECT ASSESSMENT Under ENVIRONMENT EFFECTS ACT 1978 Minister for Planning November 2007
    PORT PHILLIP BAY CHANNEL DEEPENING PROJECT ASSESSMENT under ENVIRONMENT EFFECTS ACT 1978 Minister for Planning November 2007 ii ISBN 978-1-74208-165-6 Assessment: Port Phillip Bay Channel Deepening Project iii FOREWORD This Assessment of the environmental effects of the Port Phillip Bay Channel Deepening Project (CDP) completes the assessment process under the Environment Effects Act 1978 for this proposal. It also constitutes the Assessment Report required as part of the accredited assessment process under the Commonwealth’s Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. This Assessment process has entailed an unusual intensity of effort on the part of the Port of Melbourne Corporation (PoMC), as the proponent, as well as by agencies and submitters in response to the 2004 Environment Effects Statement (EES) and the 2007 Supplementary Environment Effects Statement (SEES), and the two inquiries appointed under the Environment Effects Act. I acknowledge these efforts and thank all those who have contributed to the process, including PoMC, submitters and most recently the members of the “SEES Inquiry”, including Dr Allan Hawke as the Chair, and Ms Kathryn Mitchell and Dr Mike Lisle-Williams as Members. I particularly wish to thank the members of the Independent Expert Group (Dr Graeme Mitchell as Chair, and Dr John Parslow, Prof. Mick Keough, Dr Kerry Black and Mr Nick Bray), for their advice during both the preparation of the SEES and the SEES Inquiry process. These various efforts have assisted in ultimately achieving a comprehensive understanding of the potential environmental effects of the CDP, in terms of magnitude and likelihood, as well as appropriate management responses.
