In 1797 George Bass set sail from Sydney in an 8.7 metre whale boat to explore the southern mainland coast. He discovered and named the first natural harbour and the strait that bears his name. The Anderson Peninsula was named after Samuel Anderson who migrated to Australia in 1830. After working with the Van Diemens Land Company in Tasmania, Samuel moved to the area establishing a wheat/grazing farm on the Bass River. Hooded Plover The heathlands that occur along the coast are ideal for birdwatching. Warblers, honeyeaters, flycatchers and many others are readily observed.

  • Help Shape a Better Bass Coast Community
    Help Shape a Better Bass Coast Community Engagement – Paths, Trails and Footpaths Inverloch and Cape Paterson Complete the concrete pathway to the Inverloch surf club before someone is run over by a car Add a cycle path/lane to the Cape Pat-Inverloch road Footpaths in Inverloch on every road and bins at beach exits Sort the walking/ bike path to Cape Paterson out as a high priority. It's one of the missing links in growing tourism and would provide another health and wellbeing option for the locals. The section along surf parade and up to the RACV Club entrance. Finish the footpath from Ayr Creek to Invy Surf Beach Inverloch needs more FOOTPATHS up near the highway end of town! There's nothing worse than having to use a mobility scooter on the road.... It's frightening! Not to mention it's actually illegal! So come on how about paving the place!! - Also please extend the walking track along Surf Pde Inverloch. Invest in footpaths in Inverloch down Toorak Road. This a community that likes to walk and exercise and people's safety is at risk as they walk with prams, run and walk into town along the road, as they have no other option. Invest some of our capital works budget in the wellbeing and safety of residents and visitors. There are nature strips on either side so no reason why this cannot be achieved - Jan Martin (resident and ratepayer) This should be a high priority as Toorak Road carries a lot of pedestrian traffic. With sun glare and shade cast by trees it is extremely dangerous as drivers have difficulty spotting pedestrians as well as keeping their eye on traffic and parked vehicles.

  • Captain Matthew Flinders (1774~1814)
    Captain Matthew Flinders (1774~1814) Captain Matthew Flinders was born 16 March, 1774. He was one of the most successful cartographers and navigators of his time. In a career that only spanned twenty years he circumnavigated Australia, proved Tasmania was an island and was the person responsible for the name “Australia” being adopted. Born in Lincolnshire, England, Matthew Flinders was introduced to the sea through reading the book Robinson Crusoe. Coming from a family of doctors, Flinders was expected to follow the same profession, but at the age of 15 he joined the Royal Navy. By 1790, Flinders had been made a midshipman and worked transporting breadfruit from Tahiti to Jamaica where he developed his navigation skills under the leadership of Captain Bligh. Flinders first trip to Port Jackson, New South Wales was in 1795 as a midshipman. On this voyage he quickly proved himself as a fine navigator and cartographer. He also became friends with the ship’s surgeon George Bass. Not long after arriving in Port Jackson, Bass and Flinders made two small expeditions in small open boats, both named Tom Thumb. Their first journey was to Botany Bay and Georges River; the second south from Port Jackson to Lake Illawarra . These journeys allowed Flinders to upgrade the maps of the New South Wales coast. In 1798 Flinders was given command of the ship, Norfolk and given orders to investigate beyond the Furneaux’s Islands and explore the extent of the strait between the mainland and Van Diemen's Land ( now known as Tasmania). Flinders and Bass journeyed through the strait and circumnavigated Van Diemen's Land, proving that it was a separate island.

  • Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria
    Department of Primary Industries Dry Seasonal Conditions in Rural Victoria Report: 51 September 22, 2005 Environmental Indicators Rainfall August rainfall totals were close to normal. Over winter as a whole, rainfall was somewhat above normal in the North East and in East Gippsland, somewhat below normal in Central Victoria and in West Gippsland, and near to normal elsewhere. August had a warm spell at the end of the month following the widespread snow on the 10th. Overall daytime temperatures were 1°C above average and nightime temperatures were about average. For the 6-month period from March to August, serious to severe rainfall deficiencies extend from the far southeast of South Australia across southwest and south-central Victoria to west Gippsland. The deficiencies over southern Victoria are not as extensive or intense as they were at the end of July. The most significant rainfall in September occurred through the second week and varied from 0-5 mm in the north west to over 100 mm in pockets of the North East (Figure 1). The seasonal rainfall outlook for October to December indicates an increased likelihood of below median falls over parts of southern Victoria for the December quarter. Chances of above median rainfall are between 30 and 40% in a band extending from the far southeast of South Australia to West Gippsland. This includes most of the areas that have suffered severe short-term rainfall deficiencies since the start of autumn, and a general downturn in rainfall since the mid 1990s. The chances of a wetter than average season are between 40 and 50% over the rest of the State.

  • Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the Cowes to Stony Point Vehicle Ferry Business Case
    Frequently Asked Questions regarding the Cowes to Stony Point Vehicle Ferry Business Case Will there be a 200m “exclusion zone” around the proposed Cowes vehicle ferry terminal and jetty? A 200 metre exclusion zone on either side of a jetty is not common practice in Victoria. An exclusion zone is typically used for vessel safety (including all craft such as jet skis). If one is applied it is often, but not always, applied to the area of the jetty where the vessel docks for safety reasons, depending on the needs of the vessels using it. Similarly, an exclusion zone is typically only applied to the berth (i.e. at the end of the jetty to the seaward side) not the remainder of the jetty or the beach. It is too soon to determine whether an exclusion zone will be needed for the berth, this would be decided in the approvals process and in consultation with the proponent ferry operator, if the project proceeds. Will pedestrians be able to walk along the beach under the Cowes terminal design being that is being considered? The project team is conscious of the importance of the beach as both a community and tourism asset and has aimed to provide project options that minimise shoreline impact. For this reason, the current design being considered for Cowes does have capacity for pedestrian access underneath the jetty along the beach, however this will be looked at in more detail should the project proceed to the detailed design phase. Detailed Design as well as all future steps will mean that the community has an additional opportunity to have direct input.
