Gippsland
The story of Gippsland is a sum of many parts, and the whole is greater than those parts. Gippsland in many ways is the last frontier of Victoria. The nature of the land, the forests and the seas made sure of that.Here, in one volume, is a history of Gippsland that collects those parts and uses them to paint a picture of Gippsland ver the last two hundred years. It shows the exploration, the development and the progress, along with the difficulties and joys, hazards and successes of mostly average people - the little people of history. In their story lies thereal history of the Province. It shows how they lived, where and why.Lightly told, but authoritative, this book pays tribute to a regio...
The Settling of Gippsland
"Gippsland is a distinctive region of Victoria. This book provides an account of its Aboriginal occupation before and after European settlement. From the nineteenth century the European settling of the region is covered in chapters on exploration, squatting, gold mining, bushranging, the environment, transport, selection, hill farm and small town communities and coal mining. These developments are discussed from a regional perspective. The special interests of the sub-regions are considered: the mountainous north, far east, the central plains, the lakes, the west, the south and the Latrobe Valley. The functions of the sub-regions unite to form the Gippsland entity, which in turn functions in relations to the rest of the state."--BOOK COVER.

Australian Coastal Systems
This book describes the entire coast and beaches and barrier systems of Australia. It covers the coastal processes and systems that form and impact Australia's 30.000 km coast, 12.000 beaches and 2750 barrier systems. These processes include geology, geomorphology, climate, waves, tides, currents, sediment supply, as well as coastal ecosystems. The coast is divided into tropical northern and southern temperate provinces, within which are seven divisions, 23 regions and 354 coastal sediment compartments each of which is described in detail in the 34 chapters. Within these systems are the full range of wave through tide-dominated beaches and barriers ranging from cheniers to massive transgressive dune systems together with a range of onshore and longshore sand transport systems. This is an up to date reference for the entire coast, its present condition and likely responses to the impacts of climate change.
Educational Researchers and the Regional University
This book showcases a compilation of research partnerships produced by the Federation University Gippsland School of Education. Through this book, readers will gain valuable insights into how education research initiatives can help adapt to an age characterized by massive regional/global economic, environmental, identity, cultural and social shifts. The respective chapters address the universal human and researcher condition in a regional setting, highlighting how individuals and groups are seeking to achieve transformation with their regional, educational research. On the whole, the compilation showcases a specific university in a regional context that is now responding to change by rejuvenating, reinventing, re-envisioning and rethinking its research, its identity and its relationality.
