Full description
This item represents a Study Region in Dharmae, the UTS Data Hub of Australian Research on Marine and Aquatic Ecocultures. The data from this study region includes 6 oral histories (audio as mp3s, and transcripts) and 2 image galleries, as well as a georeferenced hand-drawn map of the area. The data from this study region includes 18 oral histories (audio as mp3s, and transcripts) and 6 image galleries, as well as a georeferenced hand-drawn map of the area. The Goulburn River rushes westward down from the steep hills and mountains of the Great Dividing Range toward Seymour. The river then turns northward and meanders through hills and plains until the river meets the Murray upstream of Echuca. These are the traditional lands of the Taungurung, Bangerang and Yorta Yorta peoples. However, the Goulburn River today is not the river the Taungurung, Bangerang and Yorta Yorta once knew and fished. Water is now stored in Lake Eildon and controlled by Goulburn Weir at Nagambie. Flows peak in summer to meet irrigation needs and drops off in winter/spring. These changes mean there are a lot less fish than there were. Before the turn of the twentieth century, there are many stories of catching Macquarie perch, Murray cod, trout cod, blackfish and yellowbelly. There were no carp, no redfin and no trout. Now, there are very few Macquarie perch and no trout cod. (Source: Frawley, J., Nichols, S., Goodall, H. and Baker, E. (2011).
