    June 1946 MEM. NAT. Mus. V1cT., 14, PT. 2, 1946. https://doi.org/10.24199/j.mmv.1946.14.06 THE SUNKLANDS OF PORT PHILLIP BAY AND BASS STRAIT By R. A. Keble, F.G.S., Palaeontologist, National Jiiiseurn of Victoria. Figs. 1-16. (Received for publication 18th l\fay, 1945) The floors of Port Phillip Bay and Bass Strait were formerly portions of a continuous land surface joining Victoria with Tasmania. This land surface was drained by a river system of which the Riv-er Y arra was part, and was intersected by two orogenic ridges, the Bassian and King Island ridges, near its eastern and western margins respectively. \Vith progressive subsidence and eustatic adjustment, these ridges became land bridges and the main route for the migration of the flora and fauna. At present, their former trend is indicated by the chains of islands in Bass Strait and the shallower portions of the Strait. The history of the development of the River Yarra is largely that of the former land surface and the King Island land bridge, and is the main theme for this discussion. The Yarra River was developed, for the most part, during the Pleistocene or Ice Age. In Tasmania, there is direct evidence of the Ice Age in the form of U-shaped valleys, raised beaches, strandlines, and river terraces, but in Victoria the effects of glaciation are less apparent. A correlation of the Victorian with the Tasmanian deposits and land forms, and, incidentally, with the European and American, can only be obtained by ascertaining the conditions of sedimentation and accumulation of such deposits in Victoria, as can be seen at the surface1 or as have been revealed by bores, particularly those on the N epean Peninsula; by observing the succession of river terraces along the Maribyrnong River; and by reconstructing the floor of Port Phillip Bay, King Bay, and Bass Strait, and interpreting the submerged land forms revealed by the bathymetrical contours.

  • VICTORIAN MULLOWAY TAGGING Newsletter- February 2019 Welcome to the Third Edition of the Victorian Mulloway Tagging Newsletter
    VICTORIAN MULLOWAY TAGGING Newsletter- February 2019 Welcome to the third edition of the Victorian Mulloway Tagging Newsletter. The purpose of this newsletter is to provide anglers with a summary of the tag and recapture data collected across the Victoria and interstate. This recreational tagging program is funded by the Victorian Fisheries Authority through Recreational Fishing License Fees and relies on the involvement of anglers. It’s been a very busy spring and summer, with plenty of Mulloway caught across the state. We have quite a few anglers on the waiting list to receive a tagging kit, so at this stage we unfortunately can’t recruit any more anglers. This is likely to change in the future however, so please stay posted! If you have a kit and find yourself no longer using it, please consider sending it back to us (see address on last page) and we can send it out to others. Rob Jeffery is one of our recently recruited taggers. He’s already been quite busy – this is Mulloway #1082 which was tagged a few weeks ago in the Glenelg River, at 79.5 cm. 1 Tagged Fish Since the last newsletter in May 2018, a further 148 fish have been tagged, bringing the current total to just under 300 (Figure 1). A huge thank you to all the anglers involved! Over the past few months we’ve seen Mulloway tagged in new areas of Victoria, including Western Port Bay (thanks to Dom Gillot) and the Moyne River (thanks to Peter McCallum). The majority of tagged fish however, are still being caught from the Glenelg River and nearby beaches in South East SA.

Durack A project commissioned by the Victorian Greenhouse Unit Victorian Department of Sustainability and Environment © CSIRO Australia 2005 Estimating the Impacts of Climate Change on Victoria’s Runoff using a Hydrological Sensitivity Model Jones, R.N. and Durack, P.J. CSIRO Atmospheric Research, Melbourne ISBN 0 643 09246 3 Acknowledgments: The Greenhouse Unit of the Government of Victoria is gratefully acknowledged for commissioning and encouraging this work. Dr Francis Chiew and Dr Walter Boughton are thanked for their work in running the SIMHYD and AWBM models for 22 catchments across Australia in the precursor to this work here. Without their efforts, this project would not have been possible. Rod Anderson, Jennifer Cane, Rae Moran and Penny Whetton are thanked for their extensive and insightful comments. The Commonwealth of Australia through the National Land Water Resources Assessment 1997–2001 are also acknowledged for the source data on catchment characteristics and the descriptions used in individual catchment entries. Climate scenarios and programming contributing to this project were undertaken by Janice Bathols and Jim Ricketts. This work has been developed from the results of numerous studies on the hydrological impacts of climate change in Australia funded by the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation, the Australian Greenhouse Office, Melbourne Water, North-east Water and the Queensland Government. Collaborations with other CSIRO scientists and with the CRC for Catchment Hydrology have also been vital in carrying out this research.
