Kingower Diggings began in the spring of 1853, but what became known as McIntyre’s Wet Diggings, about seven miles south of Kingower, was almost certainly opened before this, and a newspaper note in April 1853 read “A large number of diggers at McIntyre’s, are said to be doing tolerably well”. A notice in The Melbourne Herald in 22 July 1854 said “Parties are doing well at McIntyre’s Two Mile Hut, about seven miles from here (Kingower), on Moliagul Road.

  • Controlling Deer in Victoria

We are concerned that Victoria’s Draft Deer Management Strategy (2018) fell far short of addressing the considerable problems feral deer bring to peri-urban and regional communities, and to wetlands, catchments and the natural environment. We offer here some recommendations for the final strategy; it is a critical opportunity to control deer populations and to reverse the increasing impacts they are having. We agree with the rough estimate for the state’s deer population, as documented in the draft strategy, at ‘between several hundred thousand up to one million or more’. The population is growing rapidly at an exponential rate1, and far exceeds the capacity for control by recreational hunters. Research into the native habitats of the four main species of deer in Victoria indicates that they can continue to extend their range, potentially occupying almost every habitat in the nation2. Victoria’s biodiversity is at risk.

    Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and Associated Fens A nationally threatened ecological community Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 Policy Statement 3.16 This brochure is designed to assist land managers, owners and occupiers to identify, assess and manage the Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and Associated Fens, an ecological community listed under Australia’s national environment law, the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). The brochure is a companion document to the listing advice which can be found at the Australian Government’s Species Profile and Threats Database (SPRAT). Please go to the Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and Associated Fens ecological community profile in SPRAT, then click on the ‘Details’ link: www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/sprat/public/publiclookupcommunities.pl • The Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and Associated Fens ecological community is found in small pockets in the high country of Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory. • The Alpine Sphagnum Bogs and Associated Fens ecological community can usually be defined by the presence or absence of sphagnum moss. • Long term conservation and restoration of this ecological community is essential in order to protect vital inland water resources. • Implementing favourable land use and management practices is encouraged at sites containing this ecological community.
