GMW is the waterway manager for the lake and manages it on behalf of the MDBA. Lake Dartmouth is a major tourism asset for Towong Shire and the vast majority of land above the foreshore is part of the Alpine National Park. Lake Banimboola/Dartmouth Regulating Pondage A small regulating lake known as Lake Banimboola Regulating Pondage was constructed six kilometres downstream of Dartmouth Dam. The prime purpose of the pondage is to regulate releases from the dam into the river downstream. Since construction of Lake Dartmouth, access to the pondage foreshore for fishing has been prohibited due to perceived risks concerning the rise and fall of water levels from hydro power generation, exposure to cold water, and risk Lake Dartmouth to infrastructure as a result of increased visitation. In May 2018, a 700m section of the pondage foreshore Lake Dartmouth is the largest capacity storage was opened to land based fishing and the pondage in the River Murray system and has the highest stocked with 20,000 trout to accelerate the fishery’s embankment of any dam in Australia.

  • DUCK HUNTING in VICTORIA 2020 Background
    DUCK HUNTING IN VICTORIA 2020 Background The Wildlife (Game) Regulations 2012 provide for an annual duck season running from 3rd Saturday in March until the 2nd Monday in June in each year (80 days in 2020) and a 10 bird bag limit. Section 86 of the Wildlife Act 1975 enables the responsible Ministers to vary these arrangements. The Game Management Authority (GMA) is an independent statutory authority responsible for the regulation of game hunting in Victoria. Part of their statutory function is to make recommendations to the relevant Ministers (Agriculture and Environment) in relation to open and closed seasons, bag limits and declaring public and private land open or closed for hunting. A number of factors are reviewed each year to ensure duck hunting remains sustainable, including current and predicted environmental conditions such as habitat extent and duck population distribution, abundance and breeding. This review however, overlooks several reports and assessments which are intended for use in managing game and hunting which would offer a more complete picture of habitat, population, abundance and breeding, we will attempt to summarise some of these in this submission, these include: • 2019-20 Annual Waterfowl Quota Report to the Game Licensing Unit, New South Wales Department of Primary Industries • Assessment of Waterfowl Abundance and Wetland Condition in South- Eastern Australia, South Australian Department for Environment and Water • Victorian Summer waterbird Count, 2019, Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research As a key stakeholder representing 17,8011 members, Field & Game Australia Inc. (FGA) has been invited by GMA to participate in the Stakeholder Meeting and provide information to assist GMA brief the relevant Ministers, FGA thanks GMA for this opportunity.

  • Notes on Gippsland Aboriginal Place Names (7)
    Notes on Gippsland Aboriginal Names Peter Gardner 1.The Meaning of the word “Munjie”(1) The meaning of the word "munjie", amongst other things, is mentioned in an article by John O'Rourke (2). This word has been given various attributed meanings including 'fish' by the Aboriginal Protector George Augustus Robinson. But almost certainly the true meaning, as recorded a number of times by Alfred Howitt, is 'place'. Hence Bukkanmunjie, the original name for Buchan, and also mentioned by O'Rourke, is "place of the woman's bag" and not "evil spirit of the jumping water" as O'Rourke claimed. John O'Rourke wrote: "Coming through from New South Wales one passes through 'rapid water' country, falling into Victoria, and it is found that the (word) Munjie occurs very frequently. Some of the New South Wales blackfellows claim Omeo as their territory, and there are lots of Munjies about there - Hiinomunjie, Tongiomunjie, Lumlamunjie, etc. When you came down to the still water the munjies ceased and I claim this finally proves that the name of the blackfellows for 'jumping water' was munjie." (3) O'Rourke continued: "There is another instance in the Mullick Munjie River, which empties into the Buchan. Formerly it was known as Quag Quag Munjie (4). When the blackfellows became acquainted with milk they used also to call it mullick, and this river is a series of steep rapids, the water coming down like an avalanche of snow, so I presume they changed it in mullick, owing to the foam reminding them of milk." (5) Unfortunately O'Rourke has found an elaborate solution for a simple problem.
