Acknowledging and repatriating Indigenous material and objects 19 Updated Nov 2016 2 CEO Foreword I am very pleased to be able to present our ‘Organisational Protocols for Recognising Traditional Owners/Custodians’. The Macedon Ranges region has a strong and rich Indigenous association, going back at least 26,000 years and evident in the range of significant Aboriginal sites within Macedon Ranges including Hanging Rock, Mount William, and Mount Macedon. Aboriginal protocols are a way to recognise the long Indigenous association in Macedon Ranges as well as a way to promote respect and recognition of the Traditional Owners/Custodians. The protocols are a collection of guidelines to advise staff and Councillors in recognising, and therefore respecting, the Traditional Owners/Custodians. By using them our organisation will further develop relationships with local Aboriginal leaders and the Registered Aboriginal Parties. Through these relationships we can develop a better understanding and commitment to engaging with and recognising Aboriginal priorities. In addition, through implementing these protocols the wider community will be able to share in Aboriginal culture and heritage, enabling better relationships between Indigenous people and other Australians.

A. A. Rasuly February 1996 i ABSTRACT Thunderstorm rainfall is considered as a very vital climatic factor because of its significant effects and often disastrous consequences upon people and the natural environment in the Greater Sydney Region. Thus, this study investigates the following aspects of thunderstorm rainfall climatology of the region between 1960 to 1993. In detail, it was found that thunderstorm rainfalls in Sydney have marked diurnal and seasonal variations. They are most frequent in the spring and summer and during the late afternoon and early evening. Thunderstorms occur primarily over the coastal areas and mountains, and less frequently over the lowland interior of the Sydney basin.

  • EXPLORING the UNIQUE CLIMATE of the MACEDON RANGES Macedon Ranges Cool Climate Vineyards and Wine
    EXPLORING THE UNIQUE CLIMATE OF THE MACEDON RANGES Macedon Ranges Cool Climate Vineyards and Wine Nothing in the world quite compares to the wine from the Macedon Ranges, and this in part is because of its climate. Due to its unique geographical position, at high altitude, the Macedon Ranges wine region is the coolest wine region on mainland Australia. The distinctive climatic conditions of the region translate into the character, expression and personality of wines it offers – delicate Sparkling wine, refined Chardonnay, aromatic Pinot noir and complex cool climate Shiraz. The Macedon Ranges is a young wine region, dating back to the 1970s, less than one hour from Melbourne. The first vines were planted in the region at the time that Burke and Wills passed through in August 1860. The modern Macedon Ranges wine industry began to develop in the late 1960s with plantings at Virgin Hills by Tom Lazar and by Gordon Knight (Granite Hills) at Baynton in 1971. This was followed in 1977 by Gordon Cope-Williams’ plantings at Romsey, Bob Nixon’s planting of Gisborne Peak Winery at Gisborne South in 1978 and the establishment of Hanging Rock, Rochford, Portree and Roseberry Hill in 1983. Now there are over 40 vineyards in the region which continues to develop and grow. Discover just how cool this region is and how its climate shapes the diversity and exceptional quality of wine styles. Why are the Macedon Ranges vineyards so cool? Wondering what makes the Macedon Ranges such a cool place? It’s all thanks to the region’s topography: the extinct volcanoes of the Great Dividing Range in the South and West, the granite boulders of the Cobaw Range in the North and the slate and gold-bearing gravels to the North West.

  • Major Bushfires in Dandenong Ranges
    Major Bushfires in Yarra Ranges Region. The Yarra Ranges Shire is recognised as one of the most wildfire prone areas in the world, because of its mountainous topography, highly inflammable vegetation, aspect, prevailing winds and climatic patterns which combine to create a severe fire hazard area. A further factor which makes the area particularly hazardous is the combination of the Forest- urban environment and the large number of Tourists who visit the Region annually. Topographically the Dandenong’s form a triangular area of steep hills rising abruptly from the surrounding plains. The Northern and Western faces are exposed to strong dry winds during summer. Rainfall varies with altitude. The dry season coincides with the period of hot, dry northerly winds making the summer season a period of grave fire danger. The northern and western slopes of both the Dandenong's and the Upper Yarra Valley are vegetated by dry to wet sclerophyll forests dominated by messmate. Long leafed box, narrow leaf peppermint and mountain grey gum. This type of forest which is indigenous, and the source of most major wildfire events, becomes particularly flammable during the summer months, being all eucalypts, they produce large volumes of litter, which is highly combustible. Messmate has one of the highest spot fire potentials amongst the eucalypts. The bark provides an ideal material for the production of burning embers which travel long distances ahead of the main fire. Gullies in western and northern slopes present the greatest fire hazard, as fires can spread up these steep slopes with amazing speed. The rate of forward progress of a fire in eucalypt fuels will double on a 10 degree slope and increase fourfold on a 20 degree slope.

APPENDICES 25-40 INDEX 41-42 . ' Printed by McClintock Bros. Sydney The Attorney-General, Senator the Honourable Lionel Murphy Q.c., Parliament House, CANBERRA AC.T. I submit the Annual Report of the AustraEan Capital Territory Police Force for the year 1973-1974. The year has seen the largest recruit intake in the Force's history. 127 recruits were accepted into the Recruitment Training Division, and at the time of this Report, 71 are still engaged in their 28 week initial training. The stimulus to recruiting was given by the Attorney-General early in 1973 to meet ever increasing demands on the Force in terms of traffic law enforcement and necessary security measures arising from a greater influx of visiting State, Government and Trade Missions from overseas, and because of incidents abroad. A disturbing feature, however, has been the effect on personnel of sickness and injury on duty during the year. There was an increased loss of 804 days due to illness alone, which could be partly due to the constant maintenance of security at foreign embassies and excessive overtime demands made on members.
