This took place in the wonderful ‘new’ Court House (1893) – designed by Government architect A. J. Macdonald – warmed by a magnificent fire and, as time went on, by increasingly animated conversations. Councillor Trudy Anderson, on behalf of East Gippsland Shire and as a local (Benambra) resident, welcomed all the forum delegates. Graeme Deveson, President of OHS, outlined the history ofC the Omeo Justice Precinct, which is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. Neville Wale, for the Heritage Council and the Landscape Advisory Committee, thanked the two organisations for their hospitality and described the programme for the next two days. After an opportunity to view the historic displays and the court records stored in the new Court House, OHS members Graeme Deveson and Jeff Cooper took delegates on a guided tour of the whole precinct. This includes the 1862 Court House (Alfred Howitt, as Police Magistrate, onceE inhabited the rear two rooms), a log gaol and attached police cookhouse, a police house and police stables. The VHR statement of significance describes it as ‘the most intact example of a 19th Century police and court complex known to survive in Victoria’. Even though it was a ‘brisk’ Omeo night, tour participants enjoyed exploring its attractions. Brett Lee, another OHS member, entertained those of the party who preferred to remain by theP fire, sharing his immense knowledge of the history of the Omeo district. T I O N 15 May 2009 1 F DAY FORUM Introduction to the Heritage of the High Country Forum ONeville Wale, Chair of the Landscape Advisory Committee, Heritage Council of Victoria Welcome to this the sixth annual Landscape Forum on Cultural Landscapes of the Landscape Advisory Committee of the Heritage Council. The Heritage Council is set up under the Heritage Act to advise the Minister and is responsible for the Victorian Heritage Register which lists post contact or non indigenous cultural heritage places of State significance. These places include buildings, shipwrecks, designed landscapes such as botanic gardens and avenues of honour, and some broad-scale landscapes such as Tower Hill and Bells Beach. R The program began last night with the function hosted by East Gippsland Shire and the Omeo Historical Society at the Court House in Day Avenue. I am sure all who participated would wish me to express our thanks

    National Trust of Australia (Victoria) ABN 61 004 356 192 Tasma Terrace 23 December 2015 4 Parliament Place East Melbourne Victoria 3002 Greg Hayes Email: [email protected] Manager, Planning and Building Web: www.nationaltrust.org.au Corangamite Shire Council 181 Manifold Street T 03 9656 9800 F 03 9656 5397 Camperdown VIC 3260 Dear Mr Hayes, Re: Permit Application Number: PP2001/160.A Subject Land: Titan Willows’ Rock and Scoria Quarry, Princes Highway, Camperdown Lot 1 TP 667906P, Parish of Colongulac The National Trust has advocated for the protection of the Leura Maar, within which the subject land sits, since the 1970s. Mt Sugarloaf was saved from destruction in an unprecedented conservation battle - nowhere else in Australia had local people taken direct action to save a natural landmark. Local residents actually sat in front of a bulldozer during the battle to save the mount in 1969. The National Trust purchased the land in 1972 to prevent any further quarrying of the scoria and to guarantee the preservation of the remaining mount. Today Mt Sugarloaf is considered the best example of a scoria cone in the Western District, and is cared for by Corangamite Shire Council, the Management Committee and the Friends of Mt Leura. The Mount Leura complex is one of the largest maar and tuff volcanoes in Victoria, and is a prominent feature in the Kanawinka Geopark, part of the global geoparks network. Following this international recognition, the educational value of the Leura Maar is growing, thanks to local volunteers who have installed a geocaching trail and volcanic education centre in addition to the existing interpretive trails, signs and lookouts.

The purpose of the Study is to complete the identification, assessment and documentation of places of post-contact cultural significance within Corangamite Shire, excluding the town of Camperdown (the study area) and to make recommendations for their future conservation. This volume contains the Reviewed and Revised Thematic Environmental History. It should be read in conjunction with Volumes 1 & 2 of the Study, which contain the following: • Volume 1. Overview, Methodology & Recommendations • Volume 2. Citations for Precincts, Individual Places and Cultural Landscapes This document was reviewed and revised by Ray Tonkin and Samantha Westbrooke in July 2013 as part of the completion of the Corangamite Heritage Study, Stage 2. This was a task required by the brief for the Stage 2 study and was designed to ensure that the findings of the Stage 2 study were incorporated into the final version of the Thematic Environmental History. The revision largely amounts to the addition of material to supplement certain themes and the addition of further examples of places that illustrate those themes. There has also been a significant re-formatting of the document. Most of the original version was presented in a landscape format.

The term “heritage” is preferred because of its inherent sense of transmission, legacy, and inheritance”. “Cultural heritage is finite, non-renewable, vulnerable to damage or destruction, and frequently contested”.

The Burra Charter states that “places of cultural significance enrich our lives and give a deep and inspirational connection to community and their landscape and to past & lived experiences”, and that “places of cultural significance reflect diversity of our communities, tell us who we are, the past that formed us, irreplaceable, precious and must be conserved for present and future generations in accordance with principle of intergenerational equity.
