Melbourne-Dreaming-Intro 1.Pdf (Pdf, 1.91
ABOUT THIS BOOK Melbourne Dreaming is both a guide book and social history of Melbourne, and the events and cultural traditions that have shaped local Aboriginal people’s lives. It aims to show where to look to gain a better understanding of the rich heritage and complex culture of Aboriginal people in Melbourne both before and since colonisation. It was first published in 1997. This is a completely updated and expanded edition. Melbourne Dreaming provides practical information on visiting both historical and contemporary sites located in the city centre, surrounding suburbs and outer areas. Arranged into seven precincts, Melbourne Dreaming takes you to beaches, parklands, camping places, historical sites, exhibitions, cultural displays and buildings. For Melbourne’s Aboriginal people the landscape prior to European settlement over which we travel was the face of the divine — the imprint of the ancestral creation beings that shaped the landscape on their epic journeys. Exploring Melbourne’s Aboriginal places is a way of paying respect to this sacred tradition while learning more about our shared and ancient history. Sites include locations and traces of important places before European settlement in 1835 such as shell middens, scarred trees, wells, fish traps, mounds and quarries. Other sites describe critical events that occurred because of the impact of European settlement. More recent places are the focus of contemporary life. What these places share in common is that each illustrates an important part of the overall story of the first inhabitants, the Kulin. Stories and photographs of some places of interest which have restricted access or cannot be visited have also been included. -

Aboriginal Reconciliation Action Plan 2017–19 Summary
Aboriginal Reconciliation Action Plan 2017–19 Summary Cover art: Jarra Karalinar Steel, Boon Wurrung Alfred Health uses the term ‘Aboriginal’ to mean both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander throughout this document Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are warned that this document may contain images and names of deceased people. Message from our Chief Executive I am delighted to present Alfred Health’s first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP): a living and practical plan built around strong relationships, respect and pride in our local Aboriginal community and the potential for employment and business opportunities. This plan is something of a watershed in our relationship with our Aboriginal community. It recognises that we need to do better in providing care for our Aboriginal patients and commits us to a journey to achieve greater equality in healthcare for our first peoples. Already it has been a two-year journey in developing this plan and along the way we have learnt much about what reconciliation means to us and the importance of meaningful and respectful relationships. Thanks must go to the many people involved in creating this plan, particularly to local elder Caroline Briggs, The Boon Wurrung Foundation, and Reconciliation Australia who have supported and guided us through this process. More about our plan The vision for reconciliation is for all Australians to be equal, to have equal opportunities and for there to be trust as we move forward in a shared vision for our country. I sincerely hope that this plan This plan is a summary of and the energy and commitment of our Alfred Health staff will contribute to achieving this vision. -
Merri Creek Sediment Project: a Model for Inter-Government Solution Development
Merri Creek Sediment Project: A model for Inter-Government Solution Development Melanie Holmes & Toby Prosser Melbourne Water Corporation, 990 La Trobe Street, Docklands VIC 3008 [email protected] [email protected] Background The Merri Creek, a tributary of Melbourne’s Yarra River, Figure 1: Merri Creek Catchment originates near Wallan, flowing 70km through Melbourne’s northern suburbs to its confluence near Dights Falls in Abbotsford. With a catchment of approximately 390 km2, it falls within the municipal areas of Darebin, Hume, Mitchell, Moreland, Whittlesea and City of Yarra. It is a high profile waterway, supporting good remnant ecological values in its upper, and, significant recreational values in its lower reaches. Merri Creek Management Committee (MCMC) and Friends of Merri Creek both play an active role in environmental protection and advocacy. As with other urban and peri urban waterways, Merri Creek is impacted by stormwater runoff from its catchment areas, varying in effect due to catchment activities and the level of impermeability. Merri Creek has been identified as Melbourne’s most polluted waterway (The Age, 2011), and has recently been subject to heavy rainfall driven sediment loads. This issue has also been the focus of community and media scrutiny, with articles in the Melbourne metropolitan daily newspaper (The Age) and local newspapers featuring MCMC discussing the damaging effects of stormwater inputs. Sediment is generated through the disturbance of soils within the catchment through vegetation removal, excavation, soil importation and dumping, as well as in stream erosion caused by altered flow regimes, such as increases in flow quantity, velocity and frequency as a result of urbanisation. -

Racist Structures and Ideologies Regarding Aboriginal People in Contemporary and Historical Australian Society
Master Thesis In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science: Development and Rural Innovation Racist structures and ideologies regarding Aboriginal people in contemporary and historical Australian society Robin Anne Gravemaker Student number: 951226276130 June 2020 Supervisor: Elisabet Rasch Chair group: Sociology of Development and Change Course code: SDC-80436 Wageningen University & Research i Abstract Severe inequalities remain in Australian society between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people. This research has examined the role of race and racism in historical Victoria and in the contemporary Australian government, using a structuralist, constructivist framework. It was found that historical approaches to governing Aboriginal people were paternalistic and assimilationist. Institutions like the Central Board for the Protection of Aborigines, which terrorised Aboriginal people for over a century, were creating a racist structure fuelled by racist ideologies. Despite continuous activism by Aboriginal people, it took until 1967 for them to get citizens’ rights. That year, Aboriginal affairs were shifted from state jurisdiction to national jurisdiction. Aboriginal people continue to be underrepresented in positions of power and still lack self-determination. The national government of Australia has reproduced historical inequalities since 1967, and racist structures and ideologies remain. ii iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor, Elisabet Rasch, for her support and constructive criticism. I thank my informants and other friends that I met in Melbourne for talking to me and expanding my mind. Floor, thank you for showing me around in Melbourne and for your never-ending encouragement since then, via phone, postcard or in person. Duane Hamacher helped me tremendously by encouraging me to change the topic of my research and by sharing his own experiences as a researcher. -
