His talk presented a “composite” route, highlighting his favourite birding destinations: 1. Murray-Sunset NP, 2. Gluepot*, 3. Port Augusta, 4. Gawler Ranges NP*, 5. Nullabor Roadhouse (as an entry point to desert tracks), 6. Eyre Bird Observatory, 7. Neale Junction, 8. Monkey Mia/Shark Bay, Mt Magnet and Cue*, 9. Lions/Apex Village near Narrogin*, 10. Perth, 11. Lakes near Perth (inc. Wungong Dam and Lake McLarty), 12. Rottnest Island. Geographically, several of the destinations marked - * are situated where particular regions meet, so the visitor can see birds from a wider area and also spot many interesting hybrids. From the heat in the shade of a hall along with 30-40 Australian Pipits and a flock of Ground Cuckoo-shrikes), to Botanical Gardens, BA properties and watery lakes and shorelines. Some, too, offer good opportunities for close-up photography. Among the many birds John presented, where several critically endangered species (e.g. Mallee Emu-wrens through habitat loss, and the Black-eared Miner through hybridization with the Yellow-throated) and many lesser-seen local “races” (e.g of the Australian Ringnecks). His exceptional ornithological knowledge gave us up-to-date information about the splitting and renaming of several “new” species (like the Copperback Quail- thrush, Western Whistler and Sandhill Grasswren). Carefully chosen images also illustrated key features for the identification of “tricky” hybrid and immature birds. It was an impressive talk – splendidly illustrated and stimulating. Even our most widely- travelled and best informed club members were jotting down notes and keenly asking questions. Novices, like myself, felt that a trip across the Nullabor was both enticing and possible. Shirley Faull Outing Maryborough District –June 26 Leader: Garry Cheers A good number of members braved the freezing conditions to travel through the fog to Maryborough, where we received our usual warm welcome from Garry. Our first stop was the lake in town to get the list started and let the fog lift. Next we stopped at a nearby water storage in an area that was known in the past as good Swift parrot habitat, but is not currently in use by the birds. A morning tea stop in the bush was quiet, but we ventured on to a private block near Dunolly that we had visited before, with some people being lucky enough to see Flame Robins and Diamond Firetails on the way. Another short walk discovered a pair of Red- capped Robins After lunch we trekked across the property to the heathy woodland area, where we saw some great birds, including Tawny-crowned and Yellow-tufted Honeyeaters, White-browed Babbler, Hooded Robin and Southern Whiteface. We were even lucky enough to see a Yellow-footed Antechinus as well. Despite the decline in woodland birds in the area due to the recent dry years, and the ever present cold, we had a fabulous day as we always do when out with Garry. Amanda Ashton Outings Meetings and Reports Meeting July 12 Joy Tansey From the Snowy to the Cape Joy and three friends (including both Helen O’Donnell and Barb Williams from our own group) are known for their extensive and intensive travels around Australia in search of elusive and interesting bird species. Many of us were wondering which Cape would be luring Joy this time – and it was actually Cape Conran in East Gippsland! A most informative talk about birding options within our own state followed. This easily accessible area is so appealing because of its very wide range of habitat, and also it’s placed in a central location for migratory birds from both the north and south. Accommodation in Orbost allows day trips to the coast, through various forests and heathlands, to wetlands and swamps. Joy’s recommendations included: Orbost with the Snowy River and a billabong behind the Caravan Park (a nearby breeding ground for Australian Darters, and good views of the Azure Kingfisher); Marlo (where the estuary is home to many waders, and both the Beach Stone-curlew and White-bellied Sea-Eagle can be seen; while the aerodrome gives the chance of seeing the Eastern Green Parrot); Cape Conran‘s banksia woodlands and heathlands have the Eastern Whipbird, Pilot Bird and Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos; Yeerung River’s walking trail has heathlands (Southern Emu-wren), low banksia forests (honeyeaters) and swampy areas (Beaautiful Firetail); Cabbage Tree Creek Flora Reserve (among abundant bird calls, the Large-billed Scrubwren, Satin Bowerbird and Spotted Quail-thrush have all been seen). Superb Lyrebird and Brush Bronzewing can also be seen while driving on the Coast Road – and, after dark, various places are home to the White-throated Nightjar, Tawny Frogmouth, Southern Boobook, Greater Sooty and Masked Owls. We could certainly see why Joy has visited there so often. No question either that the trips have been exciting, rewarding and a lot of fun, as well as adding to her already impressive knowledge of birds. Shirley Faull. Outing Point Lonsdale and Black Rock July 24 Leader Ian Ashton Let’s go to the beach cried Ashton, we will see Albatross and many other good and interesting birds! Yes said the committee, good idea, you can lead Ashton! Eight months later, a very worried Ashton checks the B.O.M.site. The forecast is for 35-40Km North Westerly winds with 50% chance of showers, the best conditions for Albatross at Point Lonsdale, Easterly winds with no rain! He phoned Peter Bright for local Gen and reassurance regarding the forecasted winds /Albatross /rain scenarios, Peter just laughed, in fact he laughed a lot. Undaunted we arrived at the lighthouse, the sun was out, no rain, the wind was cool but not 35/40 Km, and there were Albatross, lots, and some came in close to shore. Ashton had bluffed it again! We spent about an hour watching both Black-browed and Shy Albatross (our main targets for the day) Paul spotted a Brown Skua close enough to see the wing flashes with binoculars. Other species included, Crested Tern, Sooty Oystercatchers and a seal or two. After a pleasant morning tea, bathing in the warm glow of success (or maybe it was the Sun), we set off in the wrong direction to Freshwater Lake, arriving at the lake we soon added a few more species, Banded Stilt, Double-banded Plover, Red-necked Stint and a few Ducks. PTO Month 2012 3 Outings Meetings and Reports Next stop Barwon Heads and the Bluff, Caspian Tern, Great Cormorant and more Albatross. Then it was time for lunch. Black Rocks added a few birds but the tide was well in and the wind was getting up. Our last stop was at Tait’s Point, Lake Connewarre, the weather was deteriorating but we added Great Egret and Wedge-tailed Eagle amongst others. A great day was had by 9 members, thank you all for ignoring the forecast. We saw just 56 species but as the aim was to see Albatross, I deem that the outing was a success. Ian Ashton Meeting Tuesday August 9th Birds of Creswick presented by Ian Ashton. Ian’s presentation drew on historical records written about the Creswick area to provided insight into the extensive connection between landscape and bird life. In addition, he has been able to obtain and compare four bird list records, the earliest 1930 up to his own most recent survey conducted from 2014 to 2016. The Creswick landscape has undergone significant change. An early record described it as a gum tree studded valley, presenting the appearance of a lovely park in the midst of heavily wooded ranges, ephemeral swamps amidst a basalt plain. However, by 1880’s the landscape was described as pockets of bush and stands of thin spidery gums. The discovery of gold in the early 1850’s, the subsequent significant growth in the population, and the switch from alluvial mining to deep lead mining had a dramatic effect. In addition, later farming practices saw the draining of swamps and the establishment of deeper-water dams. More recent changes include pine forests, wildfires, high rainfall and flooding but also some very dry years. Early description of the wildlife found within the ephemeral swamp now a reservoir, Hepburn Lagoon by Mr T Boyes stated “Hundreds of duck and wild fowl frequented the lagoons; other game was also plentiful- wild turkeys, ibis, plover, quail, snipe, and all kinds of wild fowl and flocks of native companions. ..in the bush on the east side of Captains Creek were White Cockatoos, Rosella Parrots, Greenleeks, Grass Parrots, Shell Parrots, Curlews and Love Birds, Minahs, Crows, Magpies, Jackasses, Wrens, Tit, Owls and Kestrels.” Conditions have changed over time with bird species adapting and moving in and out of the area.

    Section 4 Western Region 1 Glenelg system 2 Wimmera system 3 Wimmera-Mallee wetland system 3 2 1 90 Victorian Environmental Water Holder 4.0 Western Region overview The Wimmera-Mallee headworks system interconnect three major river basins, the Wimmera, Avoca and Glenelg. The complex network of channels in the Grampians Wimmera Mallee Water (GWMWater) system enables water to be shifted between storages, including from the Glenelg to the Wimmera. Environmental water is predominantly provided under the Wimmera and Glenelg Rivers Environmental Entitlement 2010, with additional water provided to the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder in the Wimmera and Glenelg Rivers Bulk Entitlement 2010. Water available under the environmental entitlement is shared between the Wimmera and Glenelg systems, and the Wimmera-Mallee wetlands. Waterways that receive environmental water include sections of the Glenelg, Wimmera and MacKenzie rivers, Mount William, Burnt and Bungalally creeks, in addition to priority wetlands formerly supplied by the Wimmera-Mallee channel system. Environmental water available for use in western Victoria is held in the Wimmera-Mallee system headworks, which consists of several storages and release points across the two catchments. The headworks system contains many storages and diversions that capture water across the catchments. Moora Moora and Rocklands Reservoirs are in the Glenelg catchment. Lake Wartook, Lake Lonsdale, Lake Bellfield and off-stream storages including Taylor’s Lake Toolondo Reservoir and Lake Fyans are in the Wimmera system. The Wimmera system forms part of the larger Murray-Darling Basin, and will be subject in the future to sustainable diversion limits outlined in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.

  • Seasonal Watering Plan 2018–19
    Seasonal Watering Plan 2018–19 Acknowledgement of Traditional Owners The VEWH proudly acknowledges Victoria’s Aboriginal community and their rich culture, and pays respect to their Elders past and present. The VEWH acknowledges Aboriginal people as Australia’s first peoples and as Traditional Owners and custodians of the land and water on which we rely. The VEWH recognises and value the ongoing contribution of Aboriginal people and communities to Victorian life and how this enriches us. The VEWH embraces the spirit of reconciliation, working towards equality of outcomes and ensuring an equal voice. For tens of thousands of years, Aboriginal people have occupied Australia. There have been very different clan and Nation boundaries to those that exist today, often embodying deep cultural relationships with the land and waterways. In this Seasonal Watering Plan, the VEWH has endeavoured, using the best available information, to name the Traditional Owner groups and their Nations that lived in the area we now call Victoria, and who continue to maintain and enhance long-standing culture and tradition. The groups and their association with particular areas are not definitive and the VEWH does not claim this information to be exact.
