Melbourne Parks.. A patch of Heritage at Bradshaw Bushland Reserve Mordialloc.
Pompeis Landing Pty Ltd, Protect Local Heritage Inc..BRADSHAW Reserve identified as Crown allotment 22B Parish of Mordialloc is NOT HERITAGE protected. A very special 'Open Space'. Initially reserved 7 acres of land for cemetery purposes. This park has a valuable 1876 'Recreative Purposes' Gazette, although only reserved temporarily since this time.
A transcript from The Argus Newspaper dated 26th February 1875 titled 'The Mordialloc Cemetery'.
To the Editor of the Argus. Sir, will you allow me to make a few remarks respecting the piece of ground granted to the inhabitants of Mordialloc for a cemetery by the Minister of Lands?
Firstly, neither of the complainants is a resident of Mordialloc: one resides in Collingwood, the other
at Mornington. Secondly, the burial ground reserved for the aboriginals is situated in the very centre of the township, whereas the cemetery is at the extreme north end of the township. Thirdly, it is the universal wish of the inhabitants that this ground should be used for the purposes for which it was granted, as the residents have not another inch of ground within five miles that is available for burial purposes - Yours, &c..Resident and Landowner. Mordialloc Feb 24 1875.

Melbourne Parks...A patch of Heritage at CARRUM FORESHORE RESERVE
Pompeis Landing Pty Ltd, Protect Local Heritage Inc. CARRUM - public land along the BEACH area is known as Crown Allotment 1A2 Parish of Lyndhurst and called Carrum Foreshore Reserve.
This Reserve is located between the bank of the Patterson River and Keast Park. The land parcel is around 11 acres and was permanently reserved in 1873 for public purposes. THIS VIDEO'S FRONT COVER PHOTO - PEOPLE FROM THE LATE 1800s WOULD CAMP ON THE CARRUM FORESHORE IN GROUPS PROMOTING THEIR NAME WITH SIGNAGE ON THEIR TENT: THE WATTLES group photo taken in 1919.
Department of Victorian Water Supply transcript - Carrum Improvements dated 23 June 1905 The Carrum Swamp, like most of the Victorian Marshes, was evidently in early tertiary age a lake bed and was separated from Port Phillip by a narrow ridge or bank over the lowest parts of which the flood water spilled to the Bay. In course of time this lake became filled with detritus washed down from the higher ground, tea-tree and other aquatic vegetation grew on the greater part of the filled area, this vegetation arrested further detritus and its decay added to the solids deposited, till the whole became a black bog of varying depths, very fertile when cleared and drained.
Though the soil so formed consisted largely of vegetable matter there was, as far as we can judge, no sphagnum or bog moss forming true peat, but when very dry the reclaimed soil would burn freely in hot weather.
The obstructions to flow by the tea-tree etc, caused the surface to assume slopes, so that in their natural state the swamps were by no means level, but had falls up to several feet per mile, the water creeping very slowly through the dense mass of vegetation usually found in all but the deepest parts of the original lakes, where it was often too wet for even tea-tree to grow, though rushes and reeds flourished. Thus the levels, after reclamation, do not suffice by themselves to indicate the ground reclaimed; indeed within the Carrum Trust boundaries the heights of the improved land range now from about 5 feet to over 50 feet....
We have formed the opinion that before the reclamation works were commenced the water level in Carrum Swamp proper, after heavy rain, often stood for days up to about 12'00 and that it usually stood during winter at about 10.00, while all the comparatively flat land over which the water of the highlands flowed, on their way to the Swamp, were wet and marshy for such a large part of the year as to be, without drainage works, useless for SETTLEMENT. Indeed in the drainage line of the Dandenong area the ground, though relatively high, would be always a marsh as the Creek is a perennial stream.
About 1870, the first drainage works were carried out and these are referred to in the Blue Book of 1890, about which year the Carrum Trust was formed. In July 1891, considerable drainage works had been carried out. These proved fairly effective, after the flood, for some years, during which there was remarkable absence of heavy rainfalls and the land rose very much in value. On the recurrence of floods, however, the upper part of the Dandenong Creek Channel, constructed with a very steep grade indeed, scoured out, the channels below, where the grade was flatter was filled up by the soil eroded, its discharging capacity was destroyed and the whole of the lower ground was flooded. Many thousands of cubic yards of silt were, sometime afterwards, taken out of this channel and two weirs were built near its head one on the Dandenong Creek and one on the Mile Creek. An unusually heavy rainfall, about 3 within 24 hours, however occurred in the beginning of February, 1904, the Mordialloc-Dandenong Weir was wrecked, that on the Mile Creek was damage, great erosion took place, the Channel below was again partially filled with silt, in some places over natural surface, the Swamp was flooded and the summer crops completely destroyed. In this flood the Eumemmerring Channel did its work fairly well, though in addition to the water from its own area, it discharged a considerable volume which broke away from the Mordialloc-Dandenong Channel at a point known as Andrews Corner....In the case of the Carrum District unless large washaways above its boundaries are prevented, silting of the drains is bound to occur again, causing expense that might be avoided....
The total area of the Catchments draining to the the Carrum outlets is 284 square miles, including the Trust Area of 17 square miles. The scheme of 1889, according to the Blue Book, was intended to provide for the discharge from 190 square miles.
The existing Main Drains are the Mordialloc-Dandenong and Eumemmerring Channels discharging to Port Phillip Bay by the Mordialloc Creek and Patterson River - an artificial cut through the original sand hummocks. The bed of this channel is generally about low water level, and its width is about 160 feet.

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.

Today this small parcel of land is not heritage protected by Kingston Council or by State Government - DELWP. Mordialloc College is located on this historic parkland. Gone are the early days when reserved by the Crown - Attenborough Park was a grand majestic plot of 13 acres with its natural formation and heritage significance. This land status remains temporary reserved since 1878, a concern for many in the community. By the 1920s the impact of decades of European influence can be seen by an old picture that has been included in this video.
Mordialloc's history is well documented and includes the first Australian's who lived in Mordialloc - the Bunurong people, part of the Kulin nation. A flag is located near the entrance of this park in respect to the Traditional Custodians over Australian Lands.

A patch of Heritage. Pompeis Landing Pty Ltd, Protect Local Heritage Inc. *Mordialloc Melbourne between Pompei Road Bridge and the Railway Bridge, is a stretch of Mordialloc Creek with extra history. This video was created for Heritage Council Victoria heritage hearing (2019) on the Pompei site for protective inclusion on the State Government's heritage register. Heritage Council Victoria rejected the appeal made. Recently we became aware that this video was not in fact submitted for evidence/viewing at the HCV hearing....
Heritage value - An original Fishermen's hut marked this section of the Creek, (a road divided the creek into two sections), with three Fishermen's Residences in total once in existence that can be traced back to the 1850s. The Public Records Office (Vic) official documentation revealed that a simple paper slip was provided to the fishermen from the Lands Department after a token fee was paid for a yearly licence. The licence provided basic details and pre-printed words stated Purpose for which Licence is issued with FISHERMENS RESIDENCE hand written alongside. With this notice of approval, the fishermen had fulfilled the legal requirements to build a structure (hut) on the land near the water's edge and enabled rights to undertake commercial fishing. Some referred to this licence as a Fishing Licence with the legal right to build and reside on attached waterway land that was eventually in time reserved for public purposes reserved Crown Land.
From early days of European settlement saw local business enterprises operating at the Mordialloc Creek including by the Chinese. Their involvement saw the management of salting the fish for the local fishermen. This practice was deemed as an important after service of the fish catch. The long journey to deliver to areas and later on to the fish market in Melbourne central. Regional newspapers around the 1860s promoted Melbourne's Fish Market being supplied by an overland route from Western Port to Melbourne via Frankston, Mordialloc and Rickets Point.
Fishing and boating continued throughout time on the north side of the Mordialloc Creek with commercial activities on offer for wooden boat building, repairs to vessels and hire boat operations by the famous Pompei's of Mordialloc.
Mordialloc was designated by early European settlers to have an Aboriginal Reserve.
Believed to have been located approx from the Mordialloc Foreshore to what is now known as Boundary Road and White Street.

Running alongside that land and Port Phillip Bay is further land referred to as Crown allotment
2007 Parish of Mordialloc and is approximately 27 acres.
Early European settlement at the Creek mouth and along the Mordialloc Foreshore became home to a small group of fishermen from the early 1850s. Maps at this time showed a square symbol which was the marking of a fishermen's hut.
The Chinese played a significant role in 'salting' the fish for the trip to Melbourne City fish market.
