SIR, The documents now submitted to you may fairly be called the First Annals of this colony. They are important as being official records, and they set at rest some points which have hitherto been in dispute or doubt regarding the settlement attempted by Governor Collins at Port Phillip Heads three quarters of a century ago. As you have thought these early historical MSS; worthy of national publication, I have compressed in the form of a Prefatory Note a few facts necessary to the illustration of their character and value, and showing'how they were brought to light. I take leave to add that when future writers of Australian history come to tell the story of that marvellous national career which in less than fifty years has transformed a coast whaling­ station and a few turf huts on the banks of an unnamed river into the noble Province of Victoria, they will not fail to recognize the public spirit which has induced you to preserve these memorials of an earlier attempt at its colonization which, happilY'for us all, came to nought. I have the honour to be, Your very obedient servant, JOHN J. SHILLINGLAW, F.R.G.S. Melbourne, 28th October 187e. " '. ,.- D~VID CO~LINS, ' Lt.-Col. Royal Marines and Lieut. Governor of Port Phillip . .,... .) , ", ;". ,: ,) EARLY HISTORICAL RECORDS OF PORX PHILLIPo PREFATORY NOTE BY T~E EDITOR. To get a clear idea of the space of time in which the great English ,colonies have grown up in Australasia, as' well as to mark the period to which the following historical records refer, ali illustration, at once simple and striking, maybe given in a few words. At a little village a few miles from Hobart Town there still walks about a hale hearty man; who was born at Port Phillip Heads on the 25th November 1803. His parents had landed there with the rest of the inteuded colony about six weeks before. ' On ,the following Christmas ,Day, under: the' gum trees, over looking what' is now called "Sorrento," after the chaplaiu's sermon to the assembled civil and military officers, the settlers and 'the convicts;! Lieutenant-Governor ColliIis handed the little son of the sergeant of mariues to the Rev. Mr.' Kuopwood and stood godfather to William James" Hobart 'j Thorne, the first-born of the settlement. In another month godfather and godson, officers, emigrants, and outlaws had got on board ,their ships again, had hove up tb~ir! anchors and sailed away for Tasmania, wher~ Hobart Thorne and Hobart Town grew up together. ' Lieutenant-Governor Collins was 'born in ,1756. 'At the age ofnineteE)U he was with his father's regiment at "Bunker's Hill," in the American Revolutionary War, and at thirty:-two he went out, in 1788, as Judge-Advocate with Governor Phillip in'the ,; FIRST FLEET," and so helped to found SYDNEY. > " , When we reflect that at that time there was not a white man resident on any part of the vast island-continent of Australia, or in New Zealand, Tasmania, or any of the islands washed by Australasian seas, we may form some idea of what has been done in the span of these two lives~' The journals of the, early discoverers and explorers, which led to Collins being sent out by 'the British Government to establish a penal colony at Port Phillip, together with the records of the settlement itself have hitherto been very imperfectly known. The disappearance of some has been a bar to accurate historical narrative and the cause ,of many perplexities. Very recently, however, the archives of the Public Record Office of England have been 'successfully ransacked by the son of an early Victorian' colonist, who has lately published the result of his five years' painstaking research.2 To Mr. Labilliere belongs the credit of having gathered from the vast collection of State Papers preserved in the Colonial and Admiralty offices' in London most of the missing records ; and, for th~ first time, we read in his volumes the true story of the first discovery and subsequent exploration of this province, given in tbe exact words of the men who did the work. But for some' of these missing documents Mr: Labilliere sOllght in vain ; and the Journals of GRIMES and KNOPWOODj now published, are of that number. ' > These fill up gaps in his collection, and their value will be best seen when read in connec­ tion with his full and clear narrative, which at the same time has rendered it unnecessary in this place to do inore than sketch-in a few outlines left by Mr. Labilliere untouched. The fears of Governor King at the beginning the century that France had a design to establish herself somewhere in Australia-to convert Western Fort p,erhaps into a second Pondicherry-lent weight to the concurrent testimony of Bass, Grant, Murray, and Flinders, as to the suitability of the sonth coas.t as a place for settlement; and the expeditiou of Lieutenant­ Colonel CoUins was the prompt result determined on by,the British Governmeut. But meantime Governor King saw fit to have a more particular survey made of Port Phillip. For this purpos~ the colonial schooner Cumberland of 29 tons (the same in which Flinders, exactly tw~lve months after:vards wa~ made prisOlier in the Isle of France) was equipped in ,Sydney, and placed in charge of LIeutenant CHARLES ROBBINS of H.M.S. Buffalo. Robbms carned despatches to the French commodore BAUDIN, then knov(n to be ,?IJ. the coast, iu case .. he should fall In with him. Besides the crew, the party consis.ted of CHARLES GRIMES, the Acting Surveyor-General of New South Wales ; Dr~ McCALLUlr, surgeon; JAMES, MEEHAN, a surveyor; and JAMES FLEMMING, a man in who,m the Governor had great confidence, ',:h~ was to observe tlle nature of the country explored.' Thell' orders were to "walk round" Port ,PhIllIp., - , The journalofthe expedition, herein related, was kept by FLEMMING, and the chart attached is ajae-simile of the survey made by GRIMES. ." '. The Cumberlandsruled from Sydney on the 23rd November 1802, and on the 8th pecem­ bel' fell in with Baudin at Sea Elephant Bay, on the, east coast of King Island. PE~ON, the naturalist of the French Jl]xpedition tells us what followed: 3 He says :- > "Just as we had made tliese arrangements for the safety of our ship we saw the little "schooner the Cumber1and appear. She had come from Port Jackson and had on board Mr. Grimes, " Engineer-in-Chief of the English establishment, who caIjIe by order of the Government to make "a declaration to us which, was as singular in form as remarkable in its object.

We ask that the County exempt and/or delay implementation of any changes to Chapters 22.33 and 22.63 as to the city-centered corridor streams, including Sleepy Hollow. The SHHA supports implementation of the proposed amendments to the San Geronimo Valley, to protect wildlife habitat in streams where Coho Salmon currently exist. The SHHA supports regulations to ensure the health and survival of the species in these areas. The SHHA recognizes the urgency of this matter to the San Geronimo Valley, both for the survival of the endangered and declining Coho population and for the property rights of the affected residents who are currently subject to a building moratorium.

  • Quantifying Rocky Coastline Evolution in North Torbay, Devon
    Quantifying Rocky Coastline Evolution in North Torbay, Devon, using 36Cl Exposure Dating and Structure-from-Motion Photogrammetry Drone image of Hopes Nose captured with an eBee drone, used within this study. Submitted by Victoria Rose Naylor, to the University of Exeter as a dissertation for the degree of Masters by Research in Geography, April 2019. This dissertation is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the dissertation may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this dissertation which is not my own work has been identified and that any material that has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University has been acknowledged. ……………………………………………………………………………… i Abstract Around 70-80% of the world’s coastline, and around 60% of the UK’s coastline, can be considered as ‘rocky’. Rocky coasts erode much slower than their softer sedimentary counterparts, but their rates of erosion and their evolutionary history are poorly known. In this dissertation I use a new combination of methods, cosmogenic nuclide exposure dating, structure-from-motion photogrammetry and sea-level modelling, to study a typical stretch of rocky coastline in north Torbay, Devon, southwest England. Torbay’s coast is characterised by the presence of shore platforms and raised beaches above modern sea level, situated on the north headland peninsula, named Hopes Nose. These elevated landforms must relate to a previous interglacial period, with warmer environments and higher sea- levels, and their preservation indicates very slow rates of coastal evolution within the area.

    65 THE ENGLISH AT THE DERWENT, AND THE RISDON SETTLEMENT. BY JAMES BACKHOUSE WALKER. Read October 14th, 1889. ], The English at the Derwent. In a paper which I had the honour to read before the Royal Society last November, entitled " The French in Van Diemen's Land," I endeavoured to show how the discoveries of the French at the Derwent, and their supposed design of occupation, influenced Governor King's mind, and led him to despatch the first English colony to these shores. That paper brought the story to the 12th September, 1803, when the Albion whaler, with Governor Bowen on board, cast anchor in Risdon Cove, five days after the Lady Nelson, which had brought the rest of his small establishment. The choice of such an unsuitable place as Risdon for the site of the first settlement has always been something of a puzzle; and, in order to understand the circumstances which led to this ill-advised selection, it will be necessary to go back some years, and follow the historj'^ of English discovery and exploration in the South of Tasmania. I have already noticed the elaborate and complete surveys of the Canal D'Entrecasteaux, and the Riviere du Nord, made by the French navigators in 1792, and again in 1802 ; but it must be remembered that the results of these expeditions were long kept a profound secret, not only from the English, but from the world in general. Contemporaneously with the French, English navigators had been making independent discoveries and surveys in Southern Tasmania ; and it was solely the knowledge thus acquired that guided Governor King when he instructed Bowen " to fix on a proper place about Risdon's Cove " for the new settlement.

Initially it was found only in Corio Bay, but during the past fiveyears it has spread so that it now occurs throughout the western half of Port Phillip Bay. • Densities of Sabella in many parts of the bay remain low but densities are usually higher (up to 13/m2 ) in deeper water and they extend into shallower depths in calmer regions. • Sabella larvae probably require a 'hard' surface (shell fragment, rock, seaweed, mollusc or sea squirt) for initial attachment, but subsequently they may use their own tube as an anchor in soft sediment . • Changes to fish communities following the establishment of Sabella were analysed using multidimensional scaling and BACI (Before, After, Control, Impact) design analyses of variance.
