  • The Croaker 2014 08 August
    THE croaker Correspondence to: the Editors via email: [email protected] Volume 7 No. 4 August 2014 Editors Deb Campbell & Jane Gorman Telstra is coming to the Marsh: Meeting Wednesday August 20th at 5.00pm—7.00pm ADSL & 4G For Deans Marsh: Deans Marsh and district is embarking on a quest to work with Telstra to help us upgrade all our communica- tions systems so that they do actually communicate. We have already collected a list of 50 interested com- munity members to show we are serious. Now we need to assemble and ask questions and put our case. When I first moved to the Marsh from Lorne, I was told by Customer Service in rather triumphal tones ‘Deans Marsh doesn’t have ADSL and it never will’. But it appears this is not necessarily the case. Our neighbours in Lorne and Birregurra campaigned for ADSL and succeeded: now it is our turn. Deans Marsh is right in the middle of one of Victoria’s most fire-prone areas. We have increasing numbers of visitors travelling through whose phones and sat navs do not work here. We also have residents whose mo- biles do not work in their own homes, let alone anywhere outside. We also have expensive and inadequate internet. We are hoping to work with Telstra to make real changes; the first step is a demonstration of support from us all. Anyone who is around 5kms from the Deans Marsh exchange should be able to get ADSL, and a 4G tower would help everyone, including visitors and travellers.

  • 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 Anecdotal evidence and unpublished reports of the history of lakes Modewarre, Bolac and Colac indicate that, over the past 150 years, all lakes in the Western District have shown a distinct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.
