    OYB Ride: 5/2/21 ROUTE: Anniversary/Outer Circle (Zoo)/Moonee Ponds Creek Paths to Docklands, ending at Southbank’s Eel Trap Bridge. INDIGENOUS COMMENTARY Riders are asked to acknowledge the Aboriginal land that we will be riding across and reflect on its historical and cultural significance to the Traditional Custodians, the Wurrundjeri and Yalukut Weelam clans of the Kulin alliance (nation). The following commentary focuses on Royal Park and the Zoological Gardens, an area not covered in previous commentaries. For information about Birrarung (Yarra River) and the Docklands area please refer to previous rides: • OYB RIDE: 28/2/20 (Yarra Trail to Abbotsford Convent) • OYB RIDE: 26/6/20 (Rushall, Kensington, Docklands, Herring Island) Pre-European Settlement • The land now known as Royal Park has been occupied by ancestors of the Wurundjeri for many thousands of years. The Wurundjeri people take their name from the Woiwurrung language word ‘wurun’ meaning the Manna Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis) which is common along Birrarung (Yarra River), and ‘djeri‘, the grub which is found in or near the tree. Wurundjeri are the ‘Witchetty Grub People’. • The Wurundjeri lived on the north side of the Birrarung and when riders cross to the south side of Birrarung they will be riding on the land of the Yalukut Weelam clans of the Kulin Alliance (Nation). • The area of Royal Park was a significant Wurundjeri camping ground because of its elevation above the Birrarung wetlands. It provided spectacular views across their land upon which Melbourne has been built. • The area was also an important ceremonial site and for welcoming visiting clans from across the Kulin alliance, many of which would be permitted to set up camps for the duration of their stay.

  • The Wolfram Mine at Wilks Creek, Victoria by PETER S
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Vol. 13, October 2015 The Wolfram Mine at Wilks Creek, Victoria By PETER S. EVANS ungsten, a hard, steel-grey metal is an important strategic commodity. Historic uses included textile printing and the production of hard alloys for engineering T purposes. In the twentieth century it was an essential element in the heavy manufacturing and armaments industry, and was also used in incandescent lamps, radio valves, electric furnaces, and spark plugs. Steels alloyed with tungsten are especially hard and fine-grained and retain their working properties at high temperatures. The principle ores of tungsten are scheelite and wolframite. Scheelite (calcium tungstate, CaWO4) is a tetragonal crystalline ore named after its discoverer Carl Wilhelm Scheele, a Swedish chemist. Wolframite (a mixture of ferrous tungstate, FeWO4; and manganese tungstate, MnWO4) has a monoclinic crystal structure and takes its name from the early word for tungsten, wolfram.1 Both of these minerals occur worldwide but more than 75 per cent of current world production comes from China.2 The existence of tungsten ores in Victoria was well known by 1869. Wolframite was noted in association with gold reefs at Sandhurst (Bendigo), Smythesdale, Tarrengower and in the basin of the River Yarra.3 Contemporary values for the mineral in England were from £5 to £6 per ton ‘at grass’. A method of refining the ore was known but, with the mining industry in Victoria largely focussed on gold production, little was done to exploit this resource.4 Towards the end of the nineteenth century, industrialised European nations showed an interest in buying Australian ores of tungsten, with well-dressed scheelite fetching £30 or more per ton on the European market.

    Aboriginal Heritage Impact Assessment Lancefield Road Precinct Structure Plan 1075 Sunbury, Victoria Report Prepared for Metropolitan Planning Authority August 2015 Matt Chamberlain Executive Summary This report presents the results of an Aboriginal heritage impact assessment of a Precinct Structure Plan areas – PSP 1075 – situated at Sunbury, just north of Melbourne. The area is known as the Lancefield Road PSP (1075), covering an area of 1100 hectares on the east and north eastern side of Sunbury. The location of the study area is shown in Map 1. The purpose of the study is to provide findings and advice with regard to the Aboriginal heritage values of the PSP area. As part of this a range of tasks were outlined by Metropolitan Planning Authority, including: • Identifying the location of known Aboriginal sites (within 10 km radius of the PSP) and any natural features in the landscape that remain places of cultural importance today; • Collecting, documenting and reviewing oral histories and Aboriginal cultural values relating to the precinct; • Identifying Areas or landforms which are likely to be of high, medium and low cultural heritage sensitivity; • Identifying locations that are considered to be significantly disturbed as defined by the Aboriginal Heritage Act 2006; • Undertaking an archaeological field survey with the Registered Aboriginal Party (RAP) (the Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council Incorporated) to locate known and anticipated Aboriginal places within the precinct, with particular focus directed
