Winter 2012 End of Season Report Chairperson’s Foreword This is the seventh End of Season Report produced by Council. It provides a wealth of information that will be of interest to a wide range of alpine stakeholders. It contains information on visitation and snow depth, as well as summary information on economic significance and visitor satisfaction. The 2012 snow season produced some of the best snow for the decade. This resulted in sufficient snow enabling very good visitation during the critical June/July school holidays and the continuation of good snow cover for the remainder of the season for most Victorian Alpine Resorts.

  • Conservation and the Australian Alps Factsheet
    Long ago the Creator made the land, the CONSERVATION people and the natu- ral resources for the people to use. Spirit IN THE AUSTRALIAN ancestors traveled the land and left behind AUSTRALIANALPS ALPS reminders of where they had been, whom they had met and what they had been doing in the form of plants, animals and landforms. There are stories, songs, dances and ceremonies as- sociated with these places, plants and animals. When we see the stars, moun- tains, rivers, hills, plants and animals we remember the stories of the journeys and we know how to live in this country. This is our culture. text: Rod Mason illustration: Jim Williams Conservation refers to the protection, preservation and careful management of the natural Conservation: or cultural environment. This includes the preservation of specific sites or works of art, as a definition well as specific species or areas of country. However, conservation has a different meaning for different people, thus making the management of conservation often complex and controversial. Many of the conservation issues of the Australian Alps reflect these difficulties. For the person who enjoys wilder- ness, conservation is the reservation of large, unspoilt tracts of land. For the scientist, it is the preservation and understanding of ecosystems and the protection of species found there. For bushwalkers and other outdoor recreationists it is conserving natural places that provide opportunities and challenges including mountains to climb, rivers to raft or slopes to ski. For the town planner, it is the protection of natural areas for practical reasons such as water catchment in the Australian Alps.
