Henry Lazenby Costin later founded the Ballarat Hotel, now known as the Great Ocean Hotel, in Apollo Bay in the early 1880’s and also managed the local butchers and abattoir. After working behind the bar, Henry’s youngest son Les decided to select a piece of land at Hordern Vale in the Aire River Valley, which has since been farmed by the Costin family over the generations and seen extensive growth, to a farm which today produces more than 3,500 lambs and 400 young cattle annually. The family has continuously farmed in the Aire River Valley producing premium grass-fed beef and lamb from some of the most naturally productive land in Australia. All stock is finished on prime Otway pastures, drink pure Otway water and breathe fresh ‘Glen’aire. Bruce Costin and son, Rob, specially select Aire Valley lamb from their Romney-based flock and high quality Aire Valley young cattle from their Angus breeding herd to supply Udi Sharabi’s Otway Prime branded meat. Sold throughout southern Victoria under the Otway Prime label at local farmers markets and retailers. Udi, who is passionate about supplying prime, dry aged , pasture fed beef and lamb has established a reputation throughout southern Victoria as a premium supplier in the industry. Further information on Udi and his products visit the Otway Prime website. ANDY, MITCH AND BEER After finding his father’s old fermenter in the garage during a cold winter in Glenaire, Andy Costin quickly became curious about learning about the craft of brewing beer. Keen to master the art, Andy began brewing beer, which included his infamous, but exquisite, “Fart Beer”. After travelling through Europe sampling many different styles of beer, Andy was inspired to expand his repertoire and spent many years researching his passion, graduating to “All-Grain” brewing. Since 2009, Andy and his youngest brother, Mitch, have built on Andy’s original repertoire and are continually refining their recipes. Mitch has been working tirelessly on the consumption side-in summary, he has tasted every beer he could get the top off, while studying business part time. They are proud to launch their first batch from the Crowes Nest label. With a moderately malty flavor and dry finish, balanced with significant hop character, Steam Train is made to be a perfect session beer that will surprise those avid pale beer drinkers. www.otwaycountrytocoast.com.au .

  • Consultation Guide for Salt-Wedge Estuaries Ecological Community
    Assemblage of species associated with open-coast salt-wedge estuaries of western and central Victoria ecological community Consultation Guide The Assemblage of species associated with open-coast salt-wedge estuaries of western and central Victoria was nominated for protection as a nationally listed ecological community under Australia’s national environment law, the EPBC Act. The nomination was accepted in 2013 and a scientific assessment is now under way. This assessment culminates in a Conservation Advice and will: • clarify what kind of estuary is covered by the proposed listing and the name and location of these estuaries; • identify what evidence shows these estuaries to be threatened; and • recommend what can be done to minimise further damage to the ecological community and help restore natural water flow regimes. This guide briefly explains the proposed listing and its implications. The draft scientific assessment, or Conservation Advice, is now available for comment. Your feedback on the proposal to list the ecological community as threatened is welcome. See back page for details of how to get consultation documents and provide your comments. Images Maps were prepared by ERIN (Environmental Resources Information Network) of the Department of the Environment and Energy. What is the ecological community? The open-coast salt-wedge estuaries of western and central Victoria ecological community consists of the assemblage of native plants, animals and micro-organisms that are associated with the dynamic salt-wedge estuary systems found in the Mediterranean climate, microtidal regime (< 2 m) and high wave energy coastline of western and central Victoria. The ecological community occurs within 25 salt-wedge forming estuaries in the coastal region defined by the border between South Australia and Victoria (to the west) and the most southerly point of Wilsons Promontory (to the east).

    18 May 1953 Mem. nat. Mus. Melbourne, 18, 1953. https://doi.org/10.24199/j.mmv.1953.18.05 THE RELATIONSHIP OF CYCLAMMINA-BEARING SEDIMENTS TO THE OLDER TERTIARY DEPOSITS SOUTH-EAST OP PRINCETOWN, VICTORIA By George Baker, M.Sc. Intkoduction Dr. I. C. Cookson has recently recognized and described (this volume, pj). 107-123) a number of marine and terrestrial micro- organisms from a deposit of carbonaceous sandy shale out- cropping in the sea cliffs approximately three-quarters of a mile south-east of Point Ronald, at the mouth of the Gellibrand River, near Princetown, parish of Latrobe, counties of Heytesbury and Polwarth, Victoria. Samples of this deposit were treated by the author in 1942, and the residues from hydrofluoric acid digestion submitted later to Dr. Cookson for investigation. The carbonaceous sandy shale was re-examined in the field in December, 1951, with a view to seeking further evidence for comparison with the marine, carbonaceous beds at Demon's Bluff near Anglesea and at Point Addis midway between Torquay and Anglesea, Victoria. Dr. Cookson describes a number of similar marine and terrestrial micro-organisms from the carbonaceous sandy deposits comprising the* Anglesea cliffs. As a result of the discovery of other marine fossils during re- examination of this deposit, much more is now known of its nature. The relationship of the carbonaceous sandy shale to other Older Tertiary sediments south-east of the mouth of the Gellibrand River, is herein recapitulated in the light of further advances in our knowledge of Victorian Older Tertiary geology. A revised stratigraphical nomenclature has been employed in an attempt to simplify the naming of parts of the sedimentary suc- cession, and to bring the nomenclature into general conformity with the principles of the current Australian Stratigraphic Code (Raggatt, 1950).

Thank you for the letter, the copies of the draft plans which accompanied it, and for the realistic lead time, which has allowed BWV to develop a meaningful response prior to submitting. Bushwalking Victoria is the peak bushwalking body in Victoria and represents the common interests of over 80 Victorian bushwalking clubs, with in excess of 10,000 members. It also proactively represents the interests of all other recreational walkers in Victoria as well as visiting walkers from interstate and overseas. One of the common interests of BWV clubs and their members is the conservation of the ecosystems and natural (particularly pristine) landscapes through which they walk, so that they can enjoy the maximum variety of native flora and fauna and unspoilt scenery the walking areas have to offer and ensure their preservation for future generations. Founded in 1934, BWV has a long history of active interest in conservation, including being one of a group of like-minded organizations pressing for legislation to create a comprehensive system of national parks in Victoria as early as the 1940s.

  • To View Asset
    Victorian Government Response to Victorian Environmental Assessment Council’s Angahook-Otway Investigation Final Report November 2004 FOREWORD I am very pleased to present the Victorian Government’s response to the Angahook-Otway Investigation Final Report from the Victorian Environmental Assessment Council (VEAC). To help deliver a key Bracks Government election commitment, VEAC was asked to investigate the creation of a single national park in the Otway Ranges and to identify additional public land that should be added to the parks and reserve system. The Otways include a unique blend of features that have helped to make the region one of the most popular destinations in Victoria. The area contains majestic tall forests and waterfalls, beaches and coastal towns linked by the renowned Great Ocean Road. In the hinterland are thriving towns and highly productive agricultural land. The Great Ocean Road region attracted an estimated nine million visitors in 2000, demonstrating its strong appeal, and making a significant contribution to the regional economy. During two years of extensive investigation, more than 1,800 submissions were received from the public, helping to shape VEAC’s recommendations for the future of this precious part of our State. VEAC was required to take into account the environmental, economic and social consequences of any recommendations and I am satisfied that they have done this, with several changes being made to recommendations between the draft and final stages of VEAC’s final report. The Government wishes to thank VEAC for its thorough investigation. The Government has accepted the overarching vision for public land in the Otways outlined in their final report.
