I appear with Mark Dean of Senior Counsel for 8 the United Firefighters Union. 9 MS DOYLE: The hearings this week will focus on the Churchill 10 fire which burned on 7 February this year. There is some 11 background that is relevant to events in the Gippsland 12 area and the Latrobe Valley in particular, including the 13 fact that the Delburn fires had been burning already in 14 this area during late January and in the early hours of 15 7 February the Bunyip fire escaped containment lines. 16 This meant that resources in the area were already 17 somewhat stretched when 7 February dawned. 18 In anticipation of the weekend weather, attention 19 had been given by the CFA and the DSE in the lead-up to 20 the 7th to preparation and resourcing and availability of 21 staff in the Latrobe Valley area. -
Collected by Kara Healey & Others
Research Report on the listing of Flora for Tarra-Bulga National Park (collected by Kara Healey & others), held at the National Herbarium of Victoria Peter Bryant (Photo: “Pink Fungi”, Craig Campbell) Friends of Tarra-Bulga National Park Inc. May 2010 1 | P a g e The source of the data and information residing in this Report is to be found in the database provided by the Royal Botanic Gardens Board, Melbourne, MELISR database, dated 17/02/2010. Tarra-Bulga National Park, in the eastern Strzelecki Ranges of Gippsland (Victoria) is a unique area of preserved Cool Temperate Rainforest and Wet Sclerophyll Forest representative of the once vast Strzelecki forest areas. Originally two separate parks (Bulga Park proclaimed in 1904 – 50 acres – and Tarra Valley Park in 1909 – 155 acres) they were physically joined together in 1991 and now create a National Park of over 2000 hectares. In September 2009 the Friends of Tarra-Bulga National Park celebrated the centenary of the Tarra Valley section of the Park by unveiling a plaque commemorating the life and work of Kara Healey, former Caretaker (Ranger) of the Park. As a result of Kara’s diligence and commitment (while Caretaker) many specimens of flora within the Tarra Valley area were collected. It was understood that the various specimens were sent to the University of Melbourne, the Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) Division of Forest Products in Melbourne, National Museum (Melbourne) and the National Herbarium of Victoria for full identification and storage. However, the Park records and Friends group had no evidence of what still existed, and the extent, of Kara’s collection at the time of the Centenary events. -

Parish and Township Plan Numbers
Parish and Township plan numbers This is a complete list of Victorian parishes and townships, together with plan numbers assigned by the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey at some point between 1950 and 1970. The list has been reproduced from the Vicmap Reference Tables on the Department of Sustainability and Environment's land information website. Browse the list or use a keyword search to identify the plan number/s for a location. The plans are listed alphabetically. Townships and parishes are inter-sorted on the list. Some entries refer to locations within parishes or townships; these entries may be duplicated. The plan number can be used to locate copies of plans that PROV holds in the series VPRS 16171 Regional Land Office Plans Digitised Reference Set. For example, using the Search within a Series page on the PROV online catalogue with series number '16171' and the text '5030' will return the specific plans relating to the township of Ballarat. In this case, searching for 'Ballaarat' by name will return al the plans in the Ballarat land district, covering much of central and western Victoria. PROV does not hold copies of plans for the locations highlighted in pale yellow below. In most cases this is because parish-level plans were not created for areas such as national parks, where there were few land transactions to record. Plans showing these locations can be downloaded from the landata website under the section 'Central Plan Office Records'. 5001 Township of Aberfeldy 2016 Parish of Angora 2001 Parish of Acheron 2017
