  • 9 October 2019 Dear Resident/Business Owner, CREWS
    9 October 2019 Dear resident/business owner, CREWS INSTALLING RUMBLE STRIPS IN SOUTH WEST VICTORIA As part of Towards Zero, Regional Roads Victoria will be installing rumble strips on high-speed roads across the south west region of Victoria. These small bumps make a ‘rumbling’ sound and cause a vehicle to vibrate when driven over. This alerts drivers if they move out of their lane and helps to prevent head-on or run-off-road collisions. In October through to early December, works will begin on the following roads: Road From/To location Glenelg Hwy Ballarat Sa Border Hamilton Hwy Geelong Glenelg Hwy Portland-Nelson Rd Henty Hwy Sa Border Penshurst-Warrnambool Rd Penshurst Princes Hwy West Warrnambool- Mailors Flat-Koroit Rd Caramut Rd Penshurst-Warrnambool Rd Penshurst-Dunkeld Rd Penshurst Glenelg Hwy Portland-Casterton Rd Princes Hwy West Glenelg Hwy Penshurst-Port Fairy Spencer Rd Rd Hamilton-Port Fairy Rd Penshurst-Port Fairy Rd Princes Hwy West Penshurst-Warrnambool Rd Bridge (Warrnambool) Rd Bushfield Warrnambool-Caramut Rd Warrnambool-Caramut Rd Warrnambool Caramut Coleraine-Merino Rd Coleraine Condah-Coleraine Rd Dartmoor-Hamilton Rd Princes Hwy West Hamilton Hamilton-Port Fairy Rd Henty Hwy Port Fairy Bridgewater Rd Portland Cape Bridgewater Henty Hwy Portland Sunraysia Hwy EHrick-Tyrendarra Rd Princes Hwy West Woolsthorpe-Heywood Rd Mckinnons Bridge-Noorat Rd Princes Hwy West Noorat Woolsthorpe-Heywood Rd Woolsthorpe Heywood Madeira Packet Rd Henty Hwy Henty Hwy (Loop) Hopkins Hwy Warrnambool Hamilton Hwy Coleraine-Merino Rd Coleraine Condah-Coleraine Rd Dartmoor-Hamilton Rd Princes Hwy West Hamilton Hamilton-Port Fairy Rd Henty Hwy Port Fairy Timing of works Works will be completed in two stages.

  • SOME EVIDENCE from 'YAMBUK', WESTERN VICTORIA Jan Critchett
    A CLOSER LOOK AT CULTURAL CONTACT: SOME EVIDENCE FROM ‘YAMBUK’, WESTERN VICTORIA Jan Critchett The Western District of Victoria has been a favoured area of study for academics interested in the archaeology, prehistory and race relations aspects of our past. Corris, Reece, Christie, Barwick, Marcard, Massola, Critchett, Lourandos, Coutts, as well as others from the Victoria Archaeological Survey, have published work concerning the District. Yet despite the large amount of research undertaken there are many gaps in our knowledge. This is particularly so if one wants to know in detail of relations bet­ ween the two cultures, of anything more than the most general outline of racial con­ flict, or of Aboriginal responses, of adaptive behaviour by which Aborigines attempted to establish a new life-style for themselves. To find answers to such questions new sources will have to be examined. A source area so far neglected is the diaries and journals kept by many station owners and individuals. It is true that not all have been overlooked: a selected few have been over-worked. Yet there has been no systematic attempt to study these station by station. The aim of the piece of research which led to this paper was simply to take one such source, a fairly detailed one, recording events in a key area of the District and examine the extent to which it could throw further light on race relations and provide new details of Aboriginal culture. The main source used is the diaries of Annie Maria Baxter (later Dawbin).1 Annie was the wife of Lieutenant Andrew Baxter who in 1843 took up ‘Yambuk’, a small squatting property in the Western District of Victoria.

  • Exploring the Coastal & Volcanic Landscapes of Victoria's Western
    From Seafarers to Pastoralists: Exploring the Coastal & Volcanic Landscapes of Victoria’s Western District – October 2021 18 OCT – 26 OCT 2021 Code: 22172AU Tour Leaders Christine Reid, Emeritus Professor Harriet Edquist AM Physical Ratings With Christine Reid, an internationally recognised garden writer and historian, explore the history of 'Australia Felix', the name Thomas Mitchell gave to the lush pastures of western Victoria. Overview Nineteenth-century Scottish ‘pastoralists’ in Western Victoria were responsible for one of the most extraordinary episodes in Australian architectural history, the ‘Western District homestead’, which has almost legendary status in Victoria. In a relatively short space of time, from the 1840s to the 1880s, they commissioned hundreds of homesteads, station outbuildings and associated structures to house their burgeoning enterprises. Through these settlements they produced a tight network of family, community and business interests extending from one end of the District to the other and they transformed themselves from economic adventurers into a powerful social and political elite. Harriet Edquist, 'The Architectural Legacy of the Scots in the Western District of Victoria, Australia', Architectural Heritage XXIV (2013): 67–85 ASA wishes to thank the wonderful hosts we will be meeting during this tour, who through opening their gates, are supporting local charities. Travel with Christine Reid, an internationally recognised garden writer and historian who has a long association with the Western District. Learn about architectural legacy of the Scots in the Western District from our guest lecturer, Emeritus Professor Harriet Edquist AM, who will be joining the tour for the first 6 days. Harriet has researched the European settlement of the Western District for over two decades, revealing the impact of the Scottish diaspora, the role of the whaling industry in the development of colonial architecture and the dynastic ambitions of settlers such as the Learmonth family.
