Area History
The Mount Hotham Alpine Resort is set in a unique and extreme natural landscape, an environment that has largely shaped its European history, a history that unique to the region and the State.
It must be acknowledged that human habitation of the area did not begin with the arrival of the first Europeans, and that an aboriginal presence in the high country had existed in the Mount Hotham region for many thousands of years previously. This pre and post contact history of the traditional people and their cultural connection to the land is poorly recorded. The principal language groups in the Mount Hotham region included the Gunai Kurnai, Dhudoroa and the Jaitmathang. Aboriginal activity and occupation of the area would have largely been influenced by seasonal conditions. In the spring and summer months aboriginal people would have gathered in large numbers to exploit the fruit berries and Bogong moth, whilst in the winter the region would have largely been inhabitable.
The regions European post-contact history has also largely been influenced by its climate, topography and geology. These natural influences have provided the opportunities, as well as setting the limits on its historical development. The topography has determined itâs the regions form of rugged ranges and broad open plains, whilst its geology has also played a pivotal role in its natural distribution of gold deposits â which led largely led to a mining led exploration of this part of the Great Divide. The fertile basalt plains and cooler summer climate have offered favorable conditions for seasonal summer grazing. The elevation and climate allowed for the development of the ski field tourism. The history of the region has also been strongly influenced by strong-willed individuals, as well as political, economic and social influences.
The history of Hotham has been affected by influences from both sides of the range. Mount Hotham (1868m) is the fourth highest, point in Victoria, atop
An important role played by the ocean is the storage and exchange of CO2 with the atmosphere, and its diffusion toward deeper layers. At high latitudes, dense waters sink, transferring carbon to the deep ocean. Warming of the ocean surface inhibits this sinking process and therefore reduces the efficiency of CO2 transport and storage. Furthermore, as water warms up, the solubility of CO2 declines, therefore less gas can be stored in the sea water.

In 2017, UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and partners launched The Gambia’s largest natural-resource development project to help the country adapt to climate change. The overarching objective is to build climate resilience by restoring and rehabilitating at least 10,000 hectares of forests, protected areas, wildlife areas and farmland, all of which are affected by rising temperatures, erratic rainfall and deforestation.
The six-year project aims to benefit up to 11,550 Gambian households directly and 46,200 households indirectly in four regions along the Gambia River. The project is funded by a grant from the Green Climate Fund, along with contributions from the Gambian government.

World Environment Day (WED) is a day that stimulates awareness of the environment and enhances political attention and public action. It is on 5 June. It was the day that United Nations Conference on the Human Environment began.
The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment was from 5-16 June 1972. It was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1972. The first World Environment Day was on 1973. World Environment Day is hosted every year by a different city with a different theme and is commemorated with an international exposition in the week of 5 June. World Environment Day is in summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
Marine turtles have been used for eggs, meat, shell, oil, leather or other products for 7000 years. Modern times have introduced another way for society to profit from these species - to generate economic income as a tourism attraction. Sound turtle management relies on local communities, which – as economic incentive - should receive a fair share of the revenues. In many cases, the bulk of the revenues from the local level end up elsewhere, even outside the country – through international tour operators, for instance. Nearly half of the gross revenue from tourism expenditure in Costa Rica remains outside the country. Potential tortoiseshell exports from Cuba to Japan, would add up to 70% of revenue within the importing country.

Tasting Britain was invited down to the relaunch of the old â21 Bateman Streetâ restaurant which may or may not have changed hands but has definitely changed appearances. 'Suvlaki', which is the Greek word for 'stick' or 'little skewerâ, focuses on Greek street food and a rare/eclectic selection of Greek drinks, served up in a traditional (tiny) taverna style environment. Very tiny andâ¦shall we say intimate? Itâs communal but can get a bit crowded.
Decor? The walls are graffed up in Greek text which kinda reminds me of something you may have once seen on the side of a burning building during the Italian invasion of Greece (but I dunno for sure since I wasnât actually alive at the time). The interior was designed by Afroditi, a Greek-born, London-based designer who seems to have the monopoly on designing the insides of Hellenic themed places around here. So combined with the food and wine list itâs basically itâs ALL GREEK ALL THE TIME. The restaurant is supposedly the work of a small group of friends from Athens. Our waiter was from Crete and was a real chill guy who appreciated the fact Iâd actually been to various parts of his beautiful island (in search of the minotaurâ¦). Souvlakiâs Food can be eaten in or ordered to takeaway. Me and Sorcha consumed it âMezethesâ style - which means a lot of small plates in the middle of the table that you basically share with whoever youâre eating with. Everyone wins - except for the food, the food gets eaten.
And how about that food then? The Suvlaki itself is prepared on a Robata style grill, skewered and then served plain or on a wrap. The menu was put together in conjunction with Elias Mamalakis (as the 'consultant chef'). He's a pretty well known TV personality in Greece and, amongst other things, is the author of nine cookbooks to date. As I alluded to, drinks menu is pretty special: they have an entirely Greek wine list (Greek wines need more love) along a number of bottled craft beers from microbreweries all over Greece. Since I know NOTHING about Greek microbreweries, this was all very educational.
Exposed mine waste dumps near the Granite Mountain Memorial on the north side of Butte. Since this photo was taken, the site has been restored, with wastes either removed or capped with clean soil. Today, this area is home to grassy hillsides, and a trail is under construction that will connect this site with the greater Butte trail system.
Sculpture is the branch of the visual arts that operates in three dimensions. It is one of the plastic arts. Durable sculptural processes originally used carving and modelling, in stone, metal, ceramics, wood and other materials but, since modernism, shifts in sculptural process led to an almost complete freedom of materials and process. A wide variety of materials may be worked by removal such as carving, assembled by welding or modelling, or molded, or cast.
Outrage at deal to export 20 million tonnes of Victoria’s brown coal. Urgent call for Gillard to take control on climate policy.
Friday, 25 June 2010
Environment groups have expressed anger at a deal by coal company ‘Environmental Clean Technologies’ (ECT) to export up to 20 million tonnes of brown coal a year from Victoria.
Federal Resources Minister Simon Crean is expected to throw the federal government’s support behind the deal in Melbourne this afternoon.
Environment groups are dismayed at the federal government’s support for this polluting deal and have called an emergency protest outside the signing.
“This is a disastrous first action for the new Gillard Government. We’re calling on Prime Minister Gillard to take control on climate policy and withdraw the federal government’s support for a brown coal export industry” said Environment Victoria CEO Kelly O’Shanassy.
“Prime Minister Gillard has a difficult task ahead of her on climate change and it’s a worrying sign if one of the Gillard Government’s first announcements is to support a brown coal export industry” she said.
“If the project goes ahead, millions of tonnes of greenhouse pollution will be pumped into the atmosphere each year, and the Latrobe Valley’s necessary shift to a clean energy future will be delayed” said Ms O’Shanassy.
“This is precisely the wrong message for Australia to be sending ahead of this weekend’s G20 meeting where fossil fuel subsidies are on the agenda. We should be reducing our reliance on coal, not increasing it” said ACF Climate Change Program Manager Tony Mohr.
Friends of the Earth Campaign Coordinator Cam Walker said the company was misleading the Australian public by claiming they could make brown coal ‘clean’.
“Companies have been saying they can make brown coal clean since the early 1970’s yet there is no proven way to make brown coal environmentally friendly as claimed by ECT. This is pure greenwash” he said.
“Victoria’s brown coal is highly polluting and very inefficient. It is really disappointing and damaging to international climate efforts that the federal government is actively spruiking this dirty fuel on the world stage and attempting to lock developing countries into a polluting pathway” he concluded.
