Last Battle of the Clans
Alfred Howitt's "Last Great Battle of the Clans" (1) Peter Gardner 1855 in Gippsland was the year in which the chain of events which Howitt called the 'last great battle of the clans' occurred. These events started late in 1854 when between one and four Jaitmathang (Omeo Aboriginals) were killed at an unknown location somewhere between Sale and Dargo, by members of the Braiakaulung Kurnai. There followed a series of bold raids and 'payback', or revenge killings which culminated in a number of face to face confrontations of the two groups. These groups represented virtually all the surviving Aboriginals in Gippsland as well as a number from other tribes including those of Omeo and Mt Buffalo. These occurrences involved unusual alliances and were an example of the continuing decline and breakdown of tribal custom and organisation. To help understand this process of decline and before examining the events themselves, which have been called 'tribal warfare' by some, it is necessary to examine the various authorities on tribal sources and the main sources of the affairs. Tribal Organisation and the Alliances For many years I had a preference for Howitt's classification of Gippsland tribal organisation before changing to the more modern categorisation of Tindale the reasons for which it is not necessary to enter into here. (2) The main difference between Howitt and Tindale on Gippsland tribal organisation was that Howitt considered the Kurnai as a single tribal unit whereas Tindale considers each of Howitt's 'clans' as tribal units. Readers can examine the two maps below to see how closely the boundaries of Tindale correspond with those drawn by Howitt. -

SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum. -

Notes on Tribal Boundaries with Particular Reference to the Boundary Between the Bratauolung and the Bunurong (1)
Notes on Tribal Boundaries with particular reference to the Boundary between the Bratauolung and the Bunurong (1) Peter Gardner In a previous essay I pondered on possible boundaries in the Upper Tambo Valley between traditional enemies - the Jaitmathang and Brabiralung tribes. (2) I concluded that there were probably three different types of boundaries - obvious geographical ones such as mountain ranges, historical ones that included the maximum actual expansion of tribal territory or territory claimed by a tribe (whether previously occupied or not) and the actual boundary at the advent of Europeans. In Gippsland these types of boundaries mainly coincided. Most Gippsland mountain peaks, such as Mt Baw Baw, represented all three types of tribal boundary between Gippsland and other tribes. At other places these three types of boundaries seem to diverge considerably with the upper Tambo Valley, West Latrobe Valley [see map 1], Upper Snowy River being examples and South Gippsland between the Bratauolung and the Bunurong being another. I propose that there were three further concepts that may have affected actual boundaries; debatable land (ie land contested by 2 groups) ‘taboo’ territory (ie land where entry was forbidden to one or other group) and uninhabited or ‘no-mans land’ (ie country seldom or rarely traversed by any group or individual). According to Howitt Alfred Howitt refers to a number of these concepts relating to the boundaries in general and to South Gippsland in particular. He wrote that the Kurnai: “claimed the whole of Gippsland...but a strip of debatable land lay on the borders...” (3) He further stated that both the Bunurong and the Kurnai were essentially ‘coastal tribes’ implying that the people were generally concentrated around and along coastal and inland water resources.
