I would like to $ express my personal thanks to Geoff for his contribution as President over the last year and I would also like to take this chance to formally acknowledge the many contributions that Geoff has made to the club over the past 13 years. Well the season is now closed and we saw quite a bit of fishing activity in the club over the last month including trips to Millbrook Lakes, Noojee Streams, Warburton and a few of our fellow Fly Fisher venturing as far as Darwin. There are a number of articles on these trips included in this edition of the Fly Fisher that also include some great pictures. I would like to take this opportunity to thank a few people who have stepped up to the plate and provided great support to the club during the last month. This includes Shane Bennett who has taken on the role of Webmaster and working with Peter van Oosterom to learn the ropes. Shane has made great progress on ensuring that the website is up to date and Peter has volunteered to continue assisting Shane moving forward which is great. We were proud to host the 2014 Australian Fly Casting Championships on the weekend of the 12th and 13th of June and it was a great success. I would like to thank Charles and Judy Bradley, Vince and Linda Lammin, Ray Boast, Dan Gardam and Roley Ansems for lending a hand at the BBQ. Also Peter Cairns for supplying the food and Jim Johnson for providing his guidance. We received great praise on the hospitality and quality of our venue from all involved. In terms of results all of our casters did very well and the standouts were Bruce Ratcliffe achieving second place and Alistair O’Connor coming in sixth, along with our very own Tony Hyett winning D grade. Well done to all. In terms of activity moving forward I would like to advise that the Winter Fly Tying course starting date has been pushed back to Monday August the 11th due to the syllabus being reviewed and the Fishers Casting program is on hold for the time being. Stay tuned for more information on these activities during the coming month. I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Lee Kitchen as a new member of our club. Please keep an eye out for Lee and our other new members to ensure that they are made to feel welcome. In closing I would like to thanks Steven Clements for compiling this edition of the Fly Fisher and I look forward to his editorial support moving forward. If you have any articles or photos to contribute please contact Steven. I look forward to seeing our club continue to grow and prosper moving forward. $ 2$ Calendar&–&Coming&Events& Jun Wed 4th Committee Meeting 7.30 pm. Wed 11th Members’ Night.

Daylesford Couples Fishing / Exploring Weekend Fri 12 – Sun 14 September 2014 The Club is planning a weekend for couples to the Daylesford area, accommodation will be in a communal house costing approximately $170 per couple, for the weekend. Members will be aware of the many lakes in the area, providing good fishing and plenty of time will be available to explore these on the Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday. While doing this their partners will be able to explore Daylesford and the Hepburn area to experience its many offerings and indulgences. The accommodation will provide an area for a shared communal meal on the Friday night while we can enjoy a meal at one of the hotels on the Saturday. Due to the size of the accommodation spaces are limited so PLEASE place your names on the trip sheet in the Clubrooms as soon as possible. Trip notes and other details will be made available when you sign up.

The Billabong provides a home for various species of fish Barramundi, Saratoga, Tarpon, Catfish, Archer fish and more. The Billabong has over 20km on navigable water most of which is lined with lilies and pandanus. After months of planning and speculation the reality of the odyssey to Corroboree Billabong in Darwin was about to begin. Tony Hyatt, Dean Gordon, John McIntyre and myself all met at Roly Ansems house to travel to the airport, Peter Cairns had flown up the day before and was to meet us in Darwin along with Southern FlyFishers Darwin resident Graeme Forester. The air was thick with anticipation as to what the next 7 days would bring, flies. rods, lines interceded every conversation. Check in at the airport went smoothly and gave us plenty of time for a pre trip beer or two. It was well beyond gentleman's hours when we flew into Darwin, nevertheless Graeme was there to meet us and drive us to our pre arranged accommodation for the chance to get a few hours sleep before the morning call and the hunt for a cafe to get some breakfast before embarking on a busy day that entailed loading up two cars with all our luggage, fishing gear, multiple large coolers loaded with food and goodies that Graeme had pre bought on our behalf, Graeme’s boat was hooked on on we where off to collect the other two boats that were organised for the trip. The logistics involved in getting 7 people, 3 boats, loads of luggage and food, a trip to the Supermarket and bottle shop with 2 cars to the Mary River House Boats would have done General George S Patton proud. It was early afternoon when we arrived at the Mary River house boats and Peter, Roly, John and myself got our first look at the Billabong Tony and Dean have fished the Billabong previously, after all the gear was loaded and the boats launched and tethered to the house boats we were finally underway to our first mooring spot, as we chugged up the river we were on the look out for the opportunity to view the Crocs and the bird life that inhabit the Billabong. The birdlife here is fantastic and you will see a huge variety of species such as Jabiru, Ibis, Brolga, Egret, Kite, Sea Eagle, Magpie Geese, and many others.

At the end of day 1 very few fish were caught, however we got a good look at the billabong with its large groups of pandanus trees lining the banks, water lilies shed a blanket of green foliage and pink flowers on the water's surface, and every so often a large crocodile was spotted on the banks or in the water.

  • Purrumbete Verandah, 2008 1
    Coolabah, No.11, 2013, ISSN 1988-5946, Observatori: Centre d’Estudis Australians, Australian Studies Centre, Universitat de Barcelona Purrumbete Verandah, 2008 1 Seth Keen Copyright©2013 Seth Keen. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract: In describing his 2008 digital video installation, a continuous 3 minute five second loop, Seth Keen introduces a contemporary engagement with the historic landscape of rural Victoria witnessed by Von Guérard in his paintings of the 1850s. Bringing together a background in documentary practice and graphic design, Seth is interested, as a media artist, in using digital technologies to explore forms of environmental portraiture that document relationships between people and place. In this video work, he revisits the location and landscape painting, From the verandah of Purrumbete, 18582 by Eugene Von Guérard. Purrumbete Verandah, 2008 documents the landscape and location that Von Guérard painted in 1858. Video is used to record the view across Lake Purrumbete from the verandah of the Purrumbete Homestead. Edited into this shot, are shots of local fishermen and a view of the Purrumbete Homestead recorded from Picnic Point on Lake Purrumbete. Caught up in the tranquillity of this location, I slipped into the pace of the fishermen and their interaction with Lake Purrumbete. They become a pivot for differing viewpoints on the verandah location. The video work can be viewed on the web at http://www.sethkeen.net/portfolio/purrumbete-verandah/. These shots originated from the Locative Painting3 research project, which records the numerous locations Von Guérard painted in the Corangamite Shire.

  • Highlighting the Role of Groundwater in Lake– Aquifer Interaction to Reduce Vulnerability and Enhance Resilience to Climate Change
    Article Highlighting the Role of Groundwater in Lake– Aquifer Interaction to Reduce Vulnerability and Enhance Resilience to Climate Change Yohannes Yihdego 1,2,*, John A Webb 2, and Babak Vaheddoost 3 1 Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation (SMEC), Sydney, New South Wales 2060, Australia 2 Environmental Geoscience, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria 3086, Australia; [email protected] 3 Hydraulic Lab., Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul 34467, Turkey; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Academic Editor: Abdon Atangana Received: 22 December 2016; Accepted: 8 February 2017; Published: 13 February 2017 Abstract: A method is presented to analyze the interaction between groundwater and Lake Linlithgow (Australia) as a case study. A simplistic approach based on a “node” representing the groundwater component is employed in a spreadsheet of water balance modeling to analyze and highlight the effect of groundwater on the lake level over time. A comparison is made between the simulated and observed lake levels over a period of time by switching the groundwater “node “on and off. A bucket model is assumed to represent the lake behavior. Although this study demonstrates the understanding of Lake Linlithgow’s groundwater system, the current model reflects the contemporary understanding of the local groundwater system, illustrates how to go about modeling in data‐scarce environments, and provides a means to assess focal areas for future data collection and model improvements. Results show that this approach is convenient for getting first‐hand information on the effect of groundwater on wetland or lake levels through lake water budget computation via a node representing the groundwater component.
