Acknowledgments: Stories written by SIL-GB staff, Compiled by Kym Ockerby and Raechel Ballinger. DPI –Sustainable Irrigated Landscapes – Goulburn Broken – 2003/2004 Page 2 Introduction The aim of the story approach in the Sustainable Irrigated Landscapes – Goulburn Broken (SIL-GB) Team is to implement the use of stories as a sharing and evaluation tool within the team. The idea was adopted at the Sustainable Irrigation And Land Management (now SIL- GB) Team Workshop in Moama in 2001. The story approach was adapted for the team by utilising Target 10’s story sharing. The Target 10 dairy extension project has been using a story format since May 1998. The story approach promotes sharing of experiences, whether positive or negative within the SIL-GB Team. This approach is also an opportunity for individual team members to write down their personal experiences/learnings. There are no specific topics for the stories. Each time a member of the SIL-GB team has a farm visit, talks to a group, attends a meeting or participates in a training session, there is an experience that could be shared!! This year the stories were categorised into Domains of Change. Domains of Change are broad ‘categories’ which indicate some sort of change. The four Domains were decided upon by utilising Target 10’s categories and adapting them to suit the work the SIL-GB Team does and the SIL-GB Vision. These Domains of Change are deliberately not too specific as it is up to the author to interpret what they feel is the change and which category (as listed below) it belongs in. • Changes in landowner or community attitudes • Changes in land/water/environmental/economic or social management • Changes in the way we operate • Any other changes Stories collated over 2003-2004 range in topics such as personal growth, changes in landowner attitude and changes in team operations. Please enjoy reading these informative and insightful stories and thank you to team members for sharing their experiences. Happy reading!!

March 2003 Domain Of Change: Changes in landowner or community attitudes What happened? This story is about a landowner, Daryl Lukies, who has been on a property at Katamatite for the last 25-30 years. He has decided to prepare a whole farm plan this year and thinks that it is never too late to prepare one. He said, “Now I could clearly see a link between preparing a whole farm plan and an efficient use of water”. I remember meeting Daryl before this recent discussion with him. He was present at a meeting when I was discussing a whole farm plan with another landowner, who happens to be his son. At that time, I remember that Daryl was actively asking questions on different aspects of the plan. It is never too late “I am really impressed with the whole farm plan that my son to prepare a whole prepared”, Daryl told me. He told me that his son is using his farm plan – a view plan not only for his channels and drainage construction but from a landowner. also using to manage the whole of his property. Daryl told me that he use to be a landform / laser grader for the last several years. He has lasered some parts of his farm without preparing a whole farm plan. “At that time I was looking at the farm in bit and pieces”, Daryl told me. “I was doing the lasering as resources became available and never thought of linking it as a whole farm”. “Now I would like to see how my lasered paddocks will fit with the rest of the farm during the process of developing this whole farm plan”, he told me. Daryl also told me that he is looking forward to his whole farm plan and would then be interested in accessing an incentive for the reuse system after that. “I thought that I knew everything on my farm and never needed a whole farm plan until I saw my son using his plan to manage his whole property”. Daryl thinks that it is never too late to start one for his own property and feels that he is moving in a right direction. Why do you think this is a significant change? This story identifies the changes that the landowner went through in relation to his belief, attitude and behaviour. These changes, in this case, didn’t come from a change agent, but from getting exposure from another farmer, who he can relate to. People adopt change by What difference has it made already? looking and learning from The interesting aspects from this story are the changes in others who are similar to a landowner’s attitude towards whole farm planning, and them – an old and reliable mantra of extension. DPI –Sustainable Irrigated Landscapes – Goulburn Broken – 2003/2004 Page 5 an appreciation from a landowner as to what changes are needed to make him adopt a whole farm. What difference will the change make in the future? The landowner will be using his whole farm plan to manage his irrigation and other resources in the farm. He will be installing a reuse system and will be recycling it to its full potential. This story also strengthens our belief that people usually change by looking and learning from others who are similar to them. How does this link into the GB Regional Catchment Strategy? The main aim of GB Regional Catchment is to manage irrigation water efficiently on farm. Landowners coming from the status quo and implementing some of the programs promoted by the GBRC are significant achievements in the catchment. DPI –Sustainable Irrigated Landscapes – Goulburn Broken – 2003/2004 Page 6 Evaporation basins – are they as bad as people think? Name of person recording the Story : Terence Batey Who was involved in the story? Frank Taylor (landowner); Terence Batey (groundwater officer) When did this story happen? early 1980’s up until the present day Date of narration: February 2003 Domain Of Change: Changes in landowner or community attitudes What happened? In 1981, groundwater pumping from shallow aquifers, with off-farm disposal, to provide salinity control to a group of properties began near Girgarre in the Goulburn Valley, Victoria. The local community pushed very hard for groundwater pumping to control high watertables. However, the groundwater salinity limited salt export and a community evaporation basin was proposed. Frank Taylor, who has been a part of the Girgarre Salinity Control Project since its inception, remembers the “salt was coming up the bays at 2 metres per month and it left a white tinge on the soil. We tried mole drains, tall wheat grass, fescues, gypsum and strawberry clover with no luck”. Groundwater pumping with an evaporation basin is now seen as the saviour for farming in the area. Frank recalls how “after about 12 months of the pumps being installed new growth was apparent in areas previously salt affected”. Complimenting new pasture growth, Frank and his family planted out some 3000 trees that have grown 1-1.5 metres per year. “In the mid eighties we lost all out trees from high watertables but now we have recovered all our land” Frank says.

  • Royal Historical Society of Victoria 19 Queen Street
    ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF VICTORIA 19 QUEEN STREET. MELBOURNE. C.l 62 7052 15 Kett St., Nunawading, 878 7720 3 December 1966 Rev. Gerard Tucker, Brotherhood of St.Lawrence, LARA. Dear Sir, I am advised that you are a direct descendant of Rev.Horace Finn Tucker, sometime of ^.Christ Church, South Yarra, author of The Hew Arcadia, and founder of the tucker village Settlements. As an historian I have been interested for some years in his work. In 1964 a series of articles I had written on the Tucker settlements of thd nineties appeared in the Educational Magazine. More recently I have dealt with the general subject of village settlements in an address to the Royal Historical Society of Victoria( a list of settlements isssued by me on that occasion is enclos­ ed for your interest). Since reading The Hew Arcadia I realize how little T know of the social movements and idealism of the Utopians of the nineties. Some clues to the way men were thinking then may be included in the other writings-if any-of H.F.Tucker or in biographical details xbbl relating to him. Have you any such material that could be borrowed, perused and returned? I have gleaned from Christ Church all possible in the Church journals but still do not know such elementary details as date of birth and death, education, travels, friends, interests etc of Rev. H.F.Tucker. Believe me this is not idle prying- for the man's social experiments and writings belong to history. I knew, of course, of the Brotherhood's village settlement at Carrum Bbossh Downs, but not till recently, did your address come my way and the possible connexion pointed out.

  • Parish and Township Plan Numbers
    Parish and Township plan numbers This is a complete list of Victorian parishes and townships, together with plan numbers assigned by the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at some point between 1950 and 1970. The list has been reproduced from the Vicmap Reference Tables on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's land information website. Browse the list or use a keyword search to identify the plan number/s for a location. The plans are listed alphabetically. Townships and parishes are inter-sorted on the list. Some entries refer to locations within parishes or townships; these entries may be duplicated. The plan number can be used to locate copies of plans that PROV holds in the series VPRS 16171 Regional Land Office Plans Digitised Reference Set. For example, using the Search within a Series page on the PROV online catalogue with series number '16171' and the text '5030' will return the specific plans relating to the township of Ballarat. In this case, searching for 'Ballaarat' by name will return al the plans in the Ballarat land district, covering much of central and western Victoria. PROV does not hold copies of plans for the locations highlighted in pale yellow below. In most cases this is because parish-level plans were not created for areas such as national parks, where there were few land transactions to record. Plans showing these locations can be downloaded from the landata website under the section 'Central Plan Office Records'. 5001 Township of Aberfeldy 2016 Parish of Angora 2001 Parish of Acheron 2017
