"DEDICATED TO ALL WHO APPRECIATE THE GREAT OUTDOORS''. WALK is a voluntary, non-profit venture published by the Melbourne Bushwalkers in the interests of bushwalking as a healthy, enjoyable and educational recreation. PATRONISE OUR ADVERTISERS! WALK could not be published without the assistance of our advertisers, and we are grateful to them for their support. We urge all our readers to patronise them whenever possible, and so help us to continue our efforts in publishing this magazine. Page Two WALK Editorial: ~\1 the 'l'eopLe 1 Lincoln spoke of Government of the people, by the people, for the people, and the principle has come to be accepted as the essence of democracy. The practical achievement of such an ideal, however, is virtually impossible, especially in the present state of human development. To realize even a working approximation of it some means must be found to keep claimant majorities and pressure groups in check, and allow some rights and privileges to those who wield neither the bulldozer of overpowering numbers nor the coercive power of a loud, strident and insistent voice. These thoughts are evoked by recent announcements regarding the man­ agement of the Wilson's Promontory National Park, and the setting up of a scheme of control for the Mt. Hotham area. The former is vested in the National Parks Authority, and the proposal to build a motel (or hotel) in some part of it has caused a vigorous Press controversy. Undoubtedly, much is to be said for and against the proposal, either in its present form or in any of the numerous forms suggested by newspaper correspondents. However, the present system under which vested sectional interests and the Authority (essen­ tially a Government administration) reach a substantial stage of agreement before any possible opposing parties are even aware that any proposals exist, can only lead to one-sided proposals, with consequent ill-informed and acri­ monious discussion. There should be some means of ensuring that possible differing views are considered while the proposals are being formulated. The Victorian National Parks Association is one organisation devoted solely to the interests of the parks, yet even they must wait on Press announce­ ments for their information. Other organisations not specifically devoted to National Parks, but having some interest in them, are in a hopeless position if ever those interests need protecting. The setting up of a Hotham tourist area has further emphasised the trend to ready-made control by rigidly selected committees. Although probably one of Australia's most notable outdoor areas, the only outdoor leisure activity represented is, as usual, skiing. It is right that they should be represented; but the Government should start also to look beyond, and ensure that a leavening of other interests is injected into each committee it appoints. Any lack of numerical strength of supporters of such interests is irrelevant. The best interests of the country demand that all views be given equal hearing. and virtue is notoriously unrelated to numbers. Obviously all interests cannot be represented on all committees; but even partial representation would create a channel through which differing views could be aired. The Hotham committee would have been a good one to start with as it is almost certain that, indi­ vidually, more people visit the area sightseeing, bushwalking and touring than go skiing there. There should have been a better way of ensuring that dele­ gated Government control is increasingly made 'Government by the people, for the people.' WALK Page Three 'l.Oalkin~ the ':Di"ia~ -RETRACING OLD STEPS Robert Taylor When looking at sketch maps of the Victorian Alps I have always been fascinated and attracted by that tenuous twisting line that marks the Great Divide. The Great Dividing Range in a broader sense, of course, refers to all the mountainous country stretching up the south-east coast of Australia. However, most sketch maps of the Alps show one particular line of ridges and peaks as being "the divide," and it was along part of this divide that we planned to walk during the Christmas-New Year period, 1961-1962. This particular divide runs generally north-east in the Victorian alpine region and contains some of the most attractive ridges and peaks in the State. Unfortunately, as we were to discover to our discomfort, much of it is also extremely dry. The trip that was planned was, to a considerable extent, the same as that done by a party from our club many years ago (see Walk No. 1) and we hoped to benefit from their experiences. However, these turned out to be of little benefit to us because of the extreme differences in the weather experienced by the two parties-an indication of the unpredictability of weather in the Alps. The first peak on that part of the divide which we planned to traverse was Mt. Selma, near Woods Point. From Mt. Selma the divide leads north to Mt. McDonald, swings east past the Nobs to Mt. Clear and then continues northward to its hub, Mt. Howitt. Here we planned to leave the Divide and cross

  • Hail and Farewell! an Evocation of Gippsland He Has Brought to Life Gippsland and Its People
    CHESTER EAGLE HAIL and Hail and Farewell FAREWELL! Gippsland is an area unique in Australia; backed by mountains, bounded by the sea, cut off from the main Sydney-Melbourne axis An Evocation of Gippsland of Australian history, it lacks those starker elements of the Australian mainland which have captivated our artists and the eyes of visitors. Yet, in many ways, Gippsland still embodies the nineteenth-century Chester Eagle Australia celebrated by those who search our past and present for a national ethos. It seems to have a rare capacity to absorb change without altering its basic nature. AND FAREWELL HAIL In 1956, Chester Eagle was sent to Gippsland, to Bairnsdale—a town the existence of which he was only dimly aware—as a Victorian Education Department appointee to the local technical school. On arrival, following initial dislike, he felt challenged, stayed twelve years, and 'fell in love' with the place'. In Hail and Farewell! An Evocation of Gippsland he has brought to life Gippsland and its people. History, main-street gossip, bar talk and daily incident are combined with affectionate portrayals of local identities and reverential descriptions of the divine landscape. The place and its people live and breathe in its pages—the lean-to scoreboards, stump carvings, salmon trawlers and towering trees; the post-pioneering villages and their inhabitants—earthy, insular, and all acutely aware of each other. All are set down by an author who is deeply committed to his subject, yet has the necessary detachment to see it clearly and portray it with a sympathetic but wholly objective eye.

Most river management works are undertaken by statutory river management authorities which receive funding through the Office of Water Resources. The Department recognizes its responsibility to ensure that stream works take adequate steps to protect or enhance the aquatic and streamside environment. This report is one in a series prepared for the Standing Committee on Rivers and Catchments to assist government agencies and other authorities involved in river management. It provides a basic introduction to river morphology and ecology and describes the environmental effects of river management works. It also brings together a number of case studies and suggests ways in which major types of river management works should be carried out to protect stream environments. Horrie Poussard Convenor Standing Committee on Rivers and Catchments GUIDELINES Introduction to River Morphology and Ecology When Europeans settled in Victoria less than River morphology two centuries ago, these natural instabilities were This introduction to river morphology briefly regarded as incompatible with the way the land was describes and explains the processes which have to be used.
