Invasive Species Survey
Every year across Australia tens of thousands of people give up their time to battle weeds, feral animals and other invasive threats to the environment, very often without payment. The Invasive Species Council wants to build a picture of the work these people carry out, and the organisations they work for, through a national survey. Information collected will be used to create an Australian database of groups working on these issues and will help them better share information on current invasive species threats. If you are part of an organisation tackling invasive species in Australia, please take five minutes to fill in the survey. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/33TPF26

Mapping great change: the landscape of central Victoria
until Sunday 16 June 2013
An exhibition encouraging deeper understanding of the literal, cultural and historical foundations of the central Victorian region. It explores significant historical and cultural changes occurring upon and within the land following the advent of European occupation in the early 1800s. Historical maps tell of a landscape radically transformed by agriculture, mining and mass settlement and illuminate layers of complex stories underpinned by the specific geological composition of the area and its rich resources.
Along with short films from the series 'The Map and Remembering', important cultural artefacts from the Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation collection will be on display. The exhibition also includes traditional surveying equipment and look at the role of surveyors and colonial map making in the squatting, mining and agricultural phases of settler history.

An extensive program of free and low cost events is running in conjunction with the exhibition. Call the Gallery 5434 6088 to book.
