BIBLIGORAPHY 120 Glenelg Shire Environmental History page 2 1. GLENELG’S NATURAL ENVIRONMENT 1.1. THE ENVIRONMENT AT THE TIME OF EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT When Europeans first arrived in the present Glenelg Shire they found a diverse environment which ranged from coastal dunelands and volcanic plains to areas of thickly-treed forests and woodlands, and grassy undulating plains with rich black soil. The Shire lands were well watered by many rivers – the Glenelg River and its tributaries: the Wannon River, and the smaller Wando, Stokes, Crawford and Chetwynd Rivers, as well as a number of creeks. There were also areas, such as south of Lake Mundi, where there were swamps, lagoons, marshes and heathlands. South of the Glenelg and Wannon Rivers junction might be found ‘open stands of redgum’ which gave way to ‘more densely-wooded stringybark and abundant kangaroo grass’.2 Glenelg Shire was also blessed with excellent rainfall in most areas.3 The biophysical characteristics of Glenelg Shire ‘strongly influenced Aboriginal life and land use, the levels and patterns of pastoral use and selection, resource harvesting uses, and areas remaining as public land.4 The story of the changes made to the natural environment of Glenelg Shire by European occupation and settlement will be discussed in a later section. It has been pointed out by many historians that early assessments of the Shire’s vegetation, water supply, soil and climate were ‘nearly always evaluated in terms of potential land for sheep or dairying’.5 Major Sir Thomas Mitchell, NSW Surveyor-General and pioneer explorer in the 1830s, attracted many early settlers by his description of ‘Australia Felix’ (which included parts of Glenelg Shire). The purpose of Mitchell’s famous journey was not only to expand the Colony of NSW, of which Victoria then formed a part as the Port Phillip District, but to discover potential grazing and farming land as well as sites for new development.6 As Mitchell travelled through the Merino Tablelands near present-day Casterton, he described the area as a place where ‘the hills swelled, the water foamed and glittered, the balmy air was sweetly perfumed, the grass was green as an emerald and ‘covered with a thick matted turf’. He commented that it resembled a ‘nobleman’s park on a gigantic scale’.7 It is not surprising that these were the very lands chosen by pastoral pioneers to establish some of the Shire’s largest and most prosperous grazing runs. 2 K.

These studies have also examined the effects of European settlement on that environment. They have attributed serious problems of erosion, destruction of native grasses, the denuding of forests and woodlands, and increasing salinity in the Shire’s river systems to inappropriate land use policies of the 1830s, 1840s and later. Katrina Hedditch’s excellent settlement history of Glenelg Shire considers some of these studies, particularly the observations made in The Rural Land Mapping Project, published in 1983 by the Victorian Department of Planning. This project examined the physical characteristics of various parts of Glenelg Shire and addressed the question (both from a social and economic perspective) of how the Shire lands might be used more suitably in future. Hedditch includes a number of useful maps in her history derived from the 1983 project. These maps illustrate different aspects of the Shire’s environment. They include a map showing the rivers and creeks in the Glenelg River Basin. There is also a map of the ‘Physiographic Regions’ in the Shire identified as: Dundas Tablelands, Merino Tablelands, Dergholm Platform (north-west of the Glenelg River), and the Follett Plains (south-west of the Glenelg River). ‘The Soils of the Region’ are shown on another map, the ‘Vegetation of the Glenelg Region’ on yet another. The vegetation map indicates grasslands extending across the Merino Tablelands, woodland areas covering much of the south of the Shire, and stretches of heathland along coastal areas. Hedditch also includes a map showing ‘Erosion Risk’ associated with the banks of the Glenelg and Wannon Rivers, tributaries and creeks. A particularly erosion-prone area was indicated around rivers and creeks in the Merino Tablelands.8 Other important land system surveys relating to Glenelg Shire were noted in the Land Conservation Council’s (L.C.C.) publication Historic Places in South-Western Victoria. These include the pioneering 1964 Gibbons and Downes Study9 and a 1987 work by Jenkin and Rowan.10 The LCC Report identifies the physical characteristics of the Dundas Tablelands and Casterton-Merino Hills; and also refers to Volcanic Plains along the coastal areas around Portland; South West Sands and Coastal Dunefields along the coastal strips from Discovery and Portland Bays to the Warrnambool, Cape Otway and Eastern View coasts.11 This Report also contains brief accounts of the geological history of each area, annual rainfall, soil type and vegetation.

Identify and explain how did indigenous people impact upon their environment? Indigenous people changed the landscape using fire stick farming which also assisted hunting Aboriginal people used their knowledge of the seasons to optimise hunting, gathering, eel farming and more Aboriginal people used organic local materials to create tools to assist them with hunting and gathering their food i.e. eel traps, woven grass baskets, rock fish traps etc. They only ever took what they needed from the land and had a deep respect and spiritual connection to the land and their surroundings. 2. How are humans impacting on natural resources in today’s society? How does this affect wildlife? When the land is disrespected, damaged or destroyed, this can have real impact on the wellbeing of people, plants and animals. European settlers and modern day humans have caused land degradation by: •Introducing poor farming practices causing land degradation •Introducing noxious weeds •Changing water flow courses and draining wetlands •Introducing feral animals •Destroying habitat through urbanization, logging and farming practices 3.

  • The Gunditjmara Land Justice Story Jessica K Weir
    The legal outcomes the Gunditjmara achieved in the 1980s are often overlooked in the history of land rights and native title in Australia. The High Court Onus v Alcoa case and the subsequent settlement negotiated with the State of Victoria, sit alongside other well known bench marks in our land rights history, including the Gurindji strike (also known as the Wave Hill Walk-Off) and land claim that led to the development of land rights legislation in the Northern Territory. This publication links the experiences in the 1980s with the Gunditjmara’s present day recognition of native title, and considers the possibilities and limitations of native title within the broader context of land justice.

  • Important Budj Bim Works Begin Across Five Sites
    Monday, 11 January 2021 IMPORTANT BUDJ BIM WORKS BEGIN ACROSS FIVE SITES Works have started across the Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, as part of the Andrews Labor Government’s support for the Gunditjmara Traditional Owners to protect and develop the land so more Victorians can celebrate its history and cultural significance. Minister for Regional Development Mary-Anne Thomas today visited the site in Victoria’s south west to inspect the progress of works, alongside the region’s Traditional Owners and representatives from Glenelg Shire Council. The Labor Government is investing over $12 million in the project, including $8 million through the Regional Tourism Infrastructure Fund, to improve the tourist infrastructure of the area. The Government investment also contributed to Budj Bim’s successful bid in 2019 to become a UNESCO World Heritage listed site. The works include a new eel aquaculture and information centre, art installations, new raised walkways, a new cantilevered lookout, an upgraded information centre, entrance infrastructure, carparks and interpretive signage. Construction has started on all five project sites within the cultural landscape, including Tyrendarra Township, Kurtonitj, Lake Condah, Tyrendarra Indigenous Protected Area and Budj Bim. Budj Bim hosts the remains of over 300 Aboriginal stone houses – evidence of the Gunditjmara People’s permanent settlement in the area, as well as a sophisticated system of channels, fish traps and weirs used for farming eels. It is the only Australian site to be listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list solely for its Aboriginal cultural values. The new works follow extensive consultation with Traditional Owners over the past 18 months.
