Melbourne Parks..A patch of Heritage at Mordialloc Creek Parkland Melbourne Australia
Pompeis Landing Pty Ltd, Protect Local Heritage Inc.. After the train bridge Pompei side of Mordialloc Creek, includes this nature Parkland. Land on both sides of the Mordialloc Creek has NOT been PERMANENTLY reserved (protected) as Crown Land for public purposes/park - for the long term benefit of the general community. Incredibly, the land is only temporarily reserved (from sale). Despite a significant formal type of inquiry which occurred January this year (2019). The Gazette has been provided in this video. The Victorian Government's main Land Authority (OSG - Office of Surveyor General) completed a status and management review inclusive of this land that surrounds the Mordialloc Creek. The OSG has left the status of this land as TEMPORARY reservation from sale for a Public Park/public purposes. Except for the 1881 gazette that legally binds a permanent reservation over the first 30 metres from each bank of the Mordialloc Creek the rest of the land remains in a fragile status of TEMPORARY RESERVED (since the 1870s - not a typo, yes the eighteen hundreds - 1870s that is over 140 years since first gazetted temporary reserved from sale.
Mordialloc's history is well documented and includes the first Australian's the Bunurong people, part of the Kulin nation.
The formal sanctioning of an Aboriginal Reserve in Mordialloc was instigated by European policy and management.
The Chinese played an important role in Mordialloc from the 1850s as Fishermen, dealers in fish (including being buyers at auctions) and having Salting/fish curing enterprises.
The Carnival Committee existed for decades running entertainment services non stop for months as a yearly event. The huge monies raised was in the majority ejected into project works and maintenance for upkeep of the creek and adjoining land. People arrived in droves for the Mordialloc Carnival.
This section of the Mordialloc Creek Parkland also is stated to include a small area that the Pompei family occupied for their hire boat business.
Transcript Fisheries and Wildlife Division 26th May 1976..I inspected the Mordialloc Creek and surrounding environs from the Nepean highway bridge, upstream to Wells Road/Boundary Road bridge (1.3km approx). The Creek was connected to the Edithvale-Carrum-Seaford wetland area, and was one of only two outlets for this system. The other being the Kananook Creek at Frankston. The section of the Mordialloc Creek inspected appears to be the ONLY original portion of Creek remaining. The section upstream from Wells Road/Boundary Road bridge is now the Mordialloc Main Drain, constructed to drain part of the former wetland. On the south side of the Mordialloc Creek the Dandenong Valley Authority have constructed a flood retaining basin and water control structure which regulates the flow of floodwater from the basin into the Mordialloc Creek. (Additional notes) - Between the boat ramp and the bridge the creek is used intensively for boating.. There are many permanent moorings along this section of the Creek. The Creek itself averages approx 30 metres in width. The vegetation consists mainly of Common Reed (Phragmites Australis), Melaleuca spp. & Furze (Ulex Europaeus)..The water in the Creek is very turbid and foul smelling. Birds observed were 2 Coots, and numerous Blackbirds, Indian Mynas & House Sparrows.

The Layug Family in Dinostory Sand Sculptures at Frankston Beach, Australia
Our Frankston beach holds a yearly sand sculpture show with different themes everytime. This year they had a dinosaur theme. This is a great answer for my birthday wish. We missed the sand sculpture last year with a theme on fairy tale characters. It's good to go and see it this time on my birthday.
