Thanks for checking this Region out.
This Region is prepared on the a-political concept that if you are interested in 'place' in Australia, the most important aspect that defines 'place', is the 'flow of water'. The Senate is interested in 'place'.
This Region defines its boundaries at the top of the ridge, where water flows one way rather than the other. This leads to a very interesting 'place'.
We are seeking a debate with people who live in this proposed new Region. We know we've got the Region pretty well correct; after all, it's just geography. But if you live in this Region you can tell us a lot of interesting things.
- Do these boundaries define a place that is unique; different to every other Region in Australia? We think that that is probably quite likely.
- Is it a great place, worthy of recognition?
- Upon formation, what should be the name of this Region? Who would be the Lord Mayor? Who would be the two Senators who represent this Region? Who would be the additional Senator that represents the interests of Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples in this region? What benefit would flow from regions coming together to look after the Snowy River?
- Would life be enhanced if it was on a fast Ring-Rail that links the Capital City to every other Capital City around Australia?
Land projected to be below annual flood level in 2050

The black line is added by Bloggerme for discussion only. It shows the likely State boundary based on the flow of water only. As "the ridge" (See FOWTOR) naturally impacts on the development of the language, social or nation groups of the Indigenous people of Australia, the proposed border is often identical to the group boundary shown on the Aboriginal Australia Map. This is as was expected. Variations are social/historical & result in a particular language, social or nation group being represented in two adjoining States. |

Other regional projections - CSIRO part of Southern Slopes regionThe CSIRO has regions for projecting the impact of Climate Change. See https://www.climatechangeinaustralia.gov.au/en/climate-projections/futur... This state, Wonthaggi State (O), is one of the clear projections in a CSIRO cluster called "Southern Slopes region".

the AFL’s media overload is damaging the game
"...the 24/7 cycle has come to footy. No doubt it has pervaded all major sports, but I want to focus on the Australian Football League.
"The issue is timely because we have now been told that the (alleged) use of drugs at Essendon Football Club is part of the proof that Australian sport has recorded its “blackest day”. The chattering that resonates through social media has picked up and amplified these (unproven) allegations.
"Fans now express their indignation at their team’s defeat, or opine on loftier matters such as these corrupt practices, without any boundaries of common sense, prohibitions on slander, or (dare we say it) the use of empirical evidence."
