    Does early Colonial Art provide an accurate guide to the nature and structure of the pre-European forests and woodlands of South-Eastern Australia? A study focusing on Victoria and Tasmania By Michael Francis Ryan B For Sei, University of Melbourne Submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of: Master of Forestry Australian National University November 2009 Candidate’s Declaration I declare that this is the original work of Michael Francis Ryan of 84 Somerville Rd Yarraville, Victoria submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Forestry at the Australian National University. 2 Acknowledgements I am very grateful for the assistance and patience especially of Professor Peter Kanowski of the Australian National University for overseeing this work and providing guidance and advice on structure, content and editing. I would also like to acknowledge Professor Tim Bonyhady also of the Australian National University, whose expertise in the artwork field provided much inspiration and thoughtful analysis understanding early artwork. Bill Gammage, also from the ANU, provided excellent critical analysis using his extensive knowledge of the artists of the period to suggest valuable improvements. Ron Hateley from the University of Melbourne has an incredible knowledge of the early history of Victoria and of the ecology of Australia’s forests and woodlands. Ron continued to be a great sounding board for ideas and freely shared his own thoughts on early artwork in Western Victoria and the nature of the pre-European forests and I thank him for his assistance. Pat Groenhout, formally from VicForests, provided detailed comments and proof reading of manuscripts and this has considerably improved the readability and structure.

Introductory Remarks IT may be deemed presumptuous that one of my age and sex should venture to give to the public an account of personal adventures in a land which has so often been descanted upon by other and abler pens; but when I reflect on the many mothers, wives, and sisters in England, whose hearts are ever longing for information respecting the dangers and privations to which their relatives at the antipodes are exposed, I cannot but hope that the presumption of my undertaking may be pardoned in consideration of the pleasure which an accurate description of some of the Australian Gold Fields may perhaps afford to many; and although the time of my residence in the colonies was short, I had the advantage (not only in Melbourne, but whilst in the bush) of constant intercourse with many experienced diggers and old colonists — thus having every facility for acquiring information respecting Victoria and the other colonies.
  • Volcanic Caves of Western Victoria Ken G

    Volcanic Caves of Western Victoria Ken G

    Volcanic Caves of Western Victoria Ken G. Grimes RRN 795 Morgiana Rd., Hamilton, 3300, Australia ([email protected]). Abstract The Western District Volcanic Province extends from Melbourne across to the Mount Gambier area and has been erupting basalt lavas for at least the last 5 million years. Lava caves have formed in several areas across the region, but the best concentrations are in the ~30,000 year-old lavas from Mt. Eccles and Mt. Napier. There are a variety of volcanic caves, including large feeder tubes that are responsible for the long lava flows (60 km in the case of a flow from Mt Rouse), but also smaller but more complex shallow subcrustal lava caves and one example of a still-open volcanic vent or large hornito. Lava tubes form in two main ways. The first is by the roofing of narrow surface lava channels, which happens in several ways. This type tends to form linear and simply-branching or anastomosing tubes. The second way is by draining from beneath the crust of a set of spreading lava lobes near the leading edge of a lava flow - these tend to form more complex mazes of shallow, low-roofed chambers and passages, but over time they may evolve by solidification of the more stagnant areas and erosional enlargement of the fastest moving routes to form simpler linear tubes that are difficult to distinguish from the roofed channels. Both types of tube contain liquid lava flowing beneath a solid crust. At the end of the eruption some of that lava drains out to leave empty caves, but most tubes remain filled with solidified lava.

This paper presents a detailed analysis of the stratigraphy of the host Bridgewater Formation (Pleistocene) at Moyjil and provides the context to the shelly deposits, evidence of fire and geochronological sampling. We have identified five superposed calcarenite–palaeosol units in the Bridgewater Formation, together with two prominent erosional surfaces that may have hosted intensive human activity. Part of the sequence is overlain by the Tower Hill Tuff, previously dated as 35 ka. Coastal marine erosion during the Last Interglacial highstand created a horizontal surface on which deposits of stones and shells subsequently accumulated. Parts of the erosional surface and some of the stones are blackened, perhaps by fire.
