It was a very happy occasion for the Club members as they had waited to meet with the very busy Professor who wanted to thank them properly and in person. This gave them the opportunity to explain all of the fun ways the money was raised at the Inaugural 4 Person Mixed Ambrose Event which included a number of novelty fun activities to assist in the special fundraising event. George had heard about some of the different parts of the day from the volunteers who had been out to Skipton on the day, and was keen to hear more about the range of ages of the players, and the fact that there was a professional available to assist with a “Buy-A-Drive”, and about the “Fastest Drive” and other stories. A tour of the laboratory was an incredible bonus and we thank George and his wonderful staff for the opportunity to understand more about their special work. FECRI Fundraising continues details below. K Introducing 'Fiona's Flower' This beautiful limited-edition charm has been expertly crafted by Gem’s and Jewels in support of cancer research.

We anticipated some cancellations due to the very cold wintery weather, however this did not happen and the support was fantastic- the turn out succeeded our expectations and more besides! The spirit of inclusion and connection was evident through the wide span of ages and community spirit on the night. Such a mixture of dance, singing and mime. I can’t recall everyone with such a large number of talented people on display - just a couple I will mention being Margaret from the post office and the great piano piece using her feet and Jim Hinton what a great display of dance moves! The wining table of the actual trivia was the Elliott Brothers, James Kirkpatrick, Will Fay, Josh Draffin and friends. Thank you to the generosity of our Skipton sponsors, Lismore, Mortlake and Ballarat Businesses for the donation of prizes and the local people who couldn’t attend but contributed. Too many to mention so I won’t attempt to list. BSW Advisors donated the $200 for the key competition which was won by Jo- Pat Hutchinson’s daughter.

  • James Dawson's Intervention in the Naming of the Maroondah Aqueduct
    91 IAN D CLARK James Dawson’s intervention in the naming of the Maroondah aqueduct In an early history of Melbourne’s water supply, EG Ritchie discussed the Maroondah aqueduct and confirmed its change of name from Watts to Maroondah when the aqueduct was brought into use in February 1891.1 Ritchie noted that in the early 1880s, authorities recognised ‘a large new supplementary scheme was a vital necessity for the rapidly growing population, and surveys for the purpose of tapping the Watts River and its tributaries near Healesville were actively prosecuted’.2 In 1886, construction started on an aqueduct for this purpose. It was completed and officially opened in February 1891, when the name of the river and system was changed to ‘Maroondah’. Likewise, Tony Dingle and Carolyn Rasmussen in their centenary history of the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works discussed the completion of the Watts River works in early 1891 and noted that the ‘name of the river and the catchment was changed to Maroondah’.3 Nowhere does either history discuss the reasons for the change of name or the agency behind it. The purpose of this article is to reveal that James Dawson was, in all likelihood, responsible for the change of name from Watts to Maroondah, and to contextualise this in terms of his strident advocacy for Aboriginal interests, including Aboriginal placenames, and his association with the upper Yarra, which began in 1840 when he first arrived in Victoria and established a station on the Yarra near Anderson’s Creek. 92 The La Trobe Journal No.

  • A Review of Historic Western Victorian Lake Conditions in Relation to Fish Deaths
    A REVIEW OF HISTORIC WESTERN VICTORIAN LAKE CONDITIONS IN RELATION TO FISH DEATHS Publication 1108 March 2007 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Eel deaths occurred in waterways across Victoria from 2004 to 2006. EPA Victoria worked with responsible agencies to investigate the cause of the deaths. An information gap was identified regarding changes throughout the catchments over time. Much of this knowledge had not been documented formally and was difficult to assess. It is important to note that this report is based on a number of published accounts of the historical timeline as well as utilising personal accounts of history. Therefore there may be small discrepancies in exact dates. Anecdotal evidence and unpublished reports of the history of lakes Modewarre, Bolac and Colac indicate that, over the past 150 years, all lakes in the Western District have shown a distinct pattern of drying out during periods of extended drought. As early as 1846 the lakes showed signs of drying, which would indicate that any fish within those lakes also died due to lack of good quality water. The three lakes examined have been stocked by landholders, recreational anglers or commercial eel fishermen to hold the current stock of fish and eels. The catchments in which each lake sits have undergone changes, including culverts being developed to reduce flooding, the size of water storage reservoirs being increased and changes in agricultural practices. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS EPA would like to formally acknowledge the contribution of all those who assisted with the research into the Western District lakes. Much information was held in the minds of those who visit the lakes regularly for recreation, farming and lifestyle, and it is this that has provided such broad insight into one of Victoria’s precious resources.

  • Dawson and Tower Hill
    CHAPTER 8 Reconstruction of Aboriginal microtoponymy in western and central Victoria Case studies from Tower Hill, the Hopkins River, and Lake Boga IAN CLARK Introduction In an analysis of the state of knowledge of Aboriginal local organisation, Tindale (1963) observed that there had been very few maps produced showing the distribution of Aboriginal placenames within Aboriginal language areas. Strehlow (1970) shared Tindale’s surprise that so little attention had been given to Aboriginal placenames. Yet Stanner (1965) considered it was only possible to conduct basic studies of local organisation in a few places and in a restricted range of environments. According to Stanner (1965), the mapping of spatial organisation should attempt to delineate at least ten sets of data. The first step he identified as the mapping of the distinctive habitats recognised by Aboriginal people. Thus, the first layer of entries in certain regions would be an Aboriginal ecological classification seen in a broad patchwork of names such as ‘scrub people’, ‘sand hill people’ and ‘yam people’ that would reflect systematic observations of topography, flora and fauna, and geographical dynamics. The second layer would contain placenames by the hundred or thousand. Taylor (1976) believed the skills necessary to map local organisation included those of explorer, botanist, anthropologist, geographer, linguist, and cartographer and observed that most field workers had made little more than token efforts. Recently Peter Sutton observed that there “are surprisingly few comprehensive and linguistically sophisticated accounts of group and territorial naming systems in the ethnographic literature for Australia” (Sutton 2003: 60). 207 Aboriginal placenames Stanner alludes to the fact that a given region or isolate of study in traditional or classical Aboriginal local organisation contained hundreds or thousands of placenames.

  • Case Studies Into the Invisible Presence of Aboriginal People
    School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry Faculty of Humanities Connecting the Dots: Case Studies into the ‘Invisible Presence’ of Aboriginal People Living in Victoria Jessi Coyle This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University January 2019 To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement is made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signed: Date: 15 January 2019 ABSTRACT Aboriginal Victorians have been rendered as an ‘invisible presence’ by the various discourses of race and culture that emerged in 19th-century forms of colonialism, which remain influential today. This thesis demonstrates how (white) belonging is constructed within national narratives by drawing on case study analyses of contemporary Victoria’s central and western goldfields districts, and of Aboriginal Victorian participation in Australian (Rules) Football. Semi-structured interviews were conducted across two case studies, with 28 Aboriginal participants and four non- Aboriginal participants. Interviews were analysed using a grounded theory framework, which prioritises culturally respectful and transparent research by positioning the research around participant testimony rather than the 19th-century colonial research conventions that are still influential and popular today. Working within critical theory, this thesis draws on race and settler colonialism to position the invisible presence of Aboriginal people within the ‘(white) settler colonial psyche’. A central feature of the (white) settler colonial psyche is the maintenance of settler sovereignty, as imagined through (white) belonging.
