The City of Greater Bendigo (CoGB) commissioned Context Pty Ltd to complete the Greater Bendigo Heritage Study Stage 2: Former Shires of McIvor and Strathfieldsaye (the Study). The key objective of the Study is to identify places that reflect important aspects of the municipality’s history and that are valued by the local community. This report comprises Volume 1 of the Study and sets out the key findings and recommendations. Volume 2 of the Study comprises the citations for each place, precinct and post-contact archaeological place of local or State significance assessed by the Study. These citations are derived from HERMES, the Heritage Victoria heritage database. Background The Heathcote – Strathfieldsaye Heritage Study was completed by Dr. J. Penney, D. Bick and O. Moles for Earth Tech Engineering Pty Ltd in September 2002. It included a thematic environmental history and also identified 325 places of potential post contact cultural significance within the study area. After securing funding from Heritage Victoria, the City of Greater Bendigo commenced Stage 2 of the Study in June 2007 and some preliminary assessment had been carried out prior to Context taking over the project in December 2007. The partially completed study by CoGB by then had identified a total of 639 places of potential significance. The Stage 2 Former Shires of McIvor and Strathfieldsaye Heritage Study was carried out with the assistance of funds made available by the Victorian State Government. An initial task undertaken by Context in February 2008 was a scoping review of all 639 places of potential to determine priorities. As a result, a more concise shortlist of 275 places of potential significance for assessment in Stage 2 was formulated. Methodology The methodology for the Study followed the guidelines for heritage studies set out in the standard Heritage Victoria brief, as follows. The Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Heritage Significance (the Burra Charter) and its guidelines was the basis of the approach for the Study. Places of cultural heritage significance were identified and assessed using the HERCON criteria. The HERCON criteria are listed in Appendix D. The thresholds applied in the application of significance include State significance and local significance. Local significance ‘includes those places that are important to a particular community or locality’. The Victorian Framework of Historical Themes developed by Heritage Victoria were used and reference was made to the Guidelines for Thematic Environmental Histories. vi FORMER SHIRES OF MCIVOR AND STRATHFIELDSAYE Key findings and recommendations Table 1.1 provides a summary of the key findings and recommendations of the Study in relation to the 639 places of potential significance.

( Palaeontologist, National 1J1usem·n, JJ:[elboiirne) and Professor TV. N. Benson, B.A., D.Sc. (University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealcind.) The Australian graptolite fauna is probably the most complete in the world, certainly in regard to its Ordovician components, a fact clearly appreciated by McCoy. He had ready for the press descriptions and figures of most of the species afterwards described in J amcs Hall's J\fonograph published iu 1865, which may be regarded as the basis of systematic graptolite research, when he received from Hall a proof of his fignres. McCoy immediately conceded him priority and adopted his specific names. Had Hall delayed sending his proof, McCoy wonld certainly have pnblisl1ed his figures and descriptions and his name would have been just as pl'ominent in the literature of graptoliies as Hall's. Com­ menting on "Graptolitcs (Didymograpsus) frutieosus (Hall sp.)," l\IcCoy snys, "this is the first Victorian gmptolitc I ever smv, and, as it was then a new species, I had named it in my .MSS. after J\fr.

This camp included a Sub Inspector, two Sergeants, a Corporal, six mounted and twelve-foot Constables, a Postmaster, Clerk and Tent Keeper. For a while this was the headquarters for the entire Mining District. 1 1853 Moliagul: Opened in 1853 along with Surface Gully. Their richness influenced the moving of the settlement from Commissioners Gully to where the township is now. 2 1853: Burnt Creek, the creek itself, was so-called before gold digging started, but Burnt Creek goldfield, situated about two miles south of Dunolly, started with the discovery of gold early in 1853, and at a rush later that year ... Between August and October 1853 the Commissioners’ Camp at Jones Creek was shifted to Burnt Creek, where there had been a rush ...
