Menkhorst Fisheries and Wildlife Division, Ministry for Conservation, Arthur Ryiah Institute for Environmental Research, 123 Brown Street, Heidelberg, Victoria 3084 Abstract The South Gippsland area of eastern Victoria is the most southerly part of the Australian mainland and is contained within the Bassian zoogeographic subregion. The survey area contains most Bassian environments, including ranges, river flats, swamps, coastal plains, mountainous promontories and continental islands. The area was settled in the mid 180()s and much of the native vegetation was cleared for farming. The status (both present and historical) of 375 vertebrate taxa, 50 mammals, 285 birds, 25 reptiles and 15 amphibians is discussed in terms of distribution, habitat and abundance. As a result of European settlement, 4 mammal species are now extinct and several bird species are extinct or rare. Wildlife populations in the area now appear relatively stable and are catered for by six National Parks and Wildlife Reserves. Introduction TOPOGRAPHY AND PHYSIOGRAPHY {see Hills 1967; and Central Planning Authority 1968) Surveys of wildlife are being conducted by The north and central portions of the area the Fisheries and Wildlife Division of the are dominated by the South Gippsland High- Ministry for Conservation as part of the Land lands (Strzelecki Range) which is an eroded, Conservation Council's review of the use of rounded range of uplifted Mesozoic sand- Crown Land in Victoria. stones and mudstones rising to 730 m.

We can, however, only print material that we actually receive and you are encouraged to send in your observations and notes or suggestions for topics you would like to see published. These articles would be termed Naturalist Notes - see in our editorial policy below. Editorial Policy Scope The Victorian Naturalist publishes articles on all facets of natural history. Its primary aims are to stimulate interest in natural history and to encourage the publication of arti- cles in both formal and informal styles on a wide range of natural history topics. Authors may submit the material in the following forms: Research Reports - succinct and original scientific communications. Contributions - may consist of reports, comments, observations, survey results, bib- liographies or other material relating to natural history. The scope is broad and little defined to encourage material on a wide range of topics and in a range of styles. This allows inclusion of material that makes a contribution to our knowledge of natural his- tory but for which the traditional format of scientific papers is not appropriate.

  • The Port Albert Tattler—FREE
    The Port Albert Tattler—FREE Community Newsletter! Issue No 125 Feb 2020 The “TRUE “Cost of the Worst Bushfires Since Black Saturday The bushfire emergency that began in Australia in September 2019 and has worsened steadily since then has already cost at least 29 lives, destroyed thousands of homes and other buildings , burned millions of acres of forest and farmland and the economic costs are only just beginning to emerge and the bushfire months of February and March are still to come. The Australian government, which only a month ago was treating the crisis as a state-level rather than national problem, has announced an emergency package of $ 2 billion dollars. While it is promising that the government has finally abandoned the fiction that such disasters can be managed by state governments alone, this is just a drop in the bucket. When environmental and health costs are taken into account, economists estimate the TRUE cost to be more than $ 100 billion. So far, insurance claims arising from the fires have totaled $ 700 million alone. But this will be a tiny fraction of the total dam- age to private property. Many properties are uninsured or underinsured and many of those affected haven't even found out whether their homes have survived, let alone filled out claims. With over 2,400 homes damaged or destroyed, along with vehicles, fences, farmland and commercial forests, the final damage to private property is likely to be between $ 5—10 billion dollars. As a comparison, the damaging Queensland floods and hurricane of 2011 produced insurance claims of $3.6 billion many of them coming in weeks or months after the disaster took place.

  • Corner Inlet Ramsar Site
    Corner Inlet Ramsar site Ecological Character Description June 2011 Chapters 1-2 Other chapters can be downloaded from: www.environment.gov.au/water/publications/environmental/wetlands/13-ecd.html INTRODUCTION 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background The Corner Inlet Ramsar site, which covers 67 186 hectares, is located approximately 200 kilometres south-east of Melbourne and is the most southerly marine embayment and intertidal system of mainland Australia (Figures 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3). Corner Inlet is one of 64 wetland areas in Australia that have been listed as a Wetland of International Importance under the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance especially as Waterfowl Habitat or, as it is more commonly referred to, the Ramsar Convention (the Convention). Corner Inlet was listed as a Ramsar site under the Convention in December 1982 in recognition of its outstanding coastal wetland values and features. The Convention sets out the need for contracting parties to conserve and promote wise use of wetland resources. In this context, an assessment of ecological character of each listed wetland is a key concept under the Ramsar Convention. Under Resolution IX.1 Annex A: 2005, the ecological character of a wetland is defined as: The combination of the ecosystem components, processes and benefits/services that characterise the wetland at a given point in time. The definition indicates that ecological character has a temporal component, generally using the date of listing under the Convention as the point for measuring ecological change over time. As such, the description of ecological character should identify a wetland’s key elements and provide an assessment point for the monitoring and evaluation of the site as well as guide policy and management, acknowledging the inherent dynamic nature of wetland systems over time.
