Can we humans simply ignore the fires, the floods, and the increase in deaths brought about by climate change? In this book, Australian farmers - who bear the brunt of climate change, yet accept the science - share their experiences with the unpredictable weather events, the reduction in rainfall, and the shift to hotter months which are a challenge to farming cycles. Far from contributing to the problem with their farming practices, these farmers demonstrate how to reduce their greenhouse gases - to zero or below in some cases - while remaining profitable. They are all committed to pass on their farm in a better condition than when they first purchased or inherited it. With crops or livestock, big or small, they have worked cooperatively, mostly through land management, to plant thousands of trees, which has led to the daily presence of over 100 bird species. The farmers' inspiring and informative stories will open up a new world to most urban dwellers. A summary of climate change impacts - and an account of the numerous economic, political, and media barriers toward change - combine to provide a context for their work. 280 pages : colour illustrations, colour maps, colour portraits ; 23 cm.

The Bass Coast Shire was formed in 1994 from the amalgamation of the Shire of Bass, Shire of Phillip Island and Borough of Wonthaggi, as well as parts of the Shire of Woorayl, Shire of Korumburra and City of Cranbourne. Until 1994, Phillip Island was a Shire in it’s own right. That year the Victorian government restructured local government throughout the state. They dissolved 210 councils and created 78 new councils through amalgamations. A farewell dinner and an event in front of the Council offices were held pre-amalgamation.HistoricalGreen, hard cover photo album with black pages and plastic photo pockets, containing 6x4 coloured photos.Shire of Phillip Island Farewell Dinner, November 1994.

The current school, Albion Primary School, No 4265 opened in 1926. It was built on a site once owned by John Fitzgerald (1850s). The land was later acquired by H. V. McKay who had transferred his Sunshine Harvester Works to the area in 1905 - 7. In 1920, the Albion railway station was moved nearer Ballarat Road at the request of Mr McKay. More people came to live in the area including soldier settlers.Albion Primary School's mission is to 'Aim High' in all we do so that our students grow to be socially capable, reach their full academic potential and become caring, respectful community minded people. Albion Primary School is located in a residential area in Albion, a small pocket of the local government area of Brimbank, approximately 10 kilometres west of Melbourne and was established in 1926. Our current enrolment is 199 students. We have a rich cultural diversity amongst our school community. The school is set around a courtyard with spacious playing areas including a grassed oval, running track, games courts, an adventure playground, sand pit, jumping pits, shady courtyard and garden areas, a vegetable garden and fruit tree orchard. As well as classroom groups, we have our learning teams, student house groups (siblings are allocated to the same house) and a Junior School Council. The school has four main buildings. All classrooms have air conditioning and interactive screens. Block A houses classrooms, staff areas and the administration offices. Our newest building has classrooms and some small group/office spaces. Block B includes our library, canteen and a multi-purpose room used for indoor physical education, Perceptual Motor Program, drama, visiting performers, and community activities. Block C houses classrooms and specialist rooms. We expect and receive the best from our students in terms of their learning and behaviour. The school’s dedicated and effective staff is strongly committed to helping students achieve personal, behavioural, social and academic success. In terms of learning, the highest priority is placed on the work in English and Mathematics. We also have a range of specialist and extra-curricular programs that we provide. Our specialist teacher-librarian is involved in reading extension programs that support development in literacy. All children are able to develop their artistic abilities through visual arts and music program. Our music program is supported by the Australian Children's Music Foundation. A specialist Physical Education teacher provides lessons for all children as well as the opportunity for students to participate in organised lunch time sporting competitions between the house groups. Auslan is the additional language all students learn at Albion. All children participate in a student wellbeing program that focuses on developing strong connections and a sense of belonging within the school. Our school student leaders participate in programs that help develop their leadership skills. 5156.01 - Albion State School 2003 Grade 1 2P 5156.01 - Albion State School 2003 Grade 1 2P Names Back Row L2R Jessica Tawaf Tyson Freeman Christene Protacio Nicholas Burrows Ebony Wemyss Kaliesha Birch Brandon Marsh Howe Second Row L2R Dale Reynolds Liam Noack Jack Scholfield Chelsea TeRay Melisa Husejnovic mile Ajder David Ung Joshua Kanongataa Front Row L2R Elias Condadis Boudoloh David Tran Chelsea Lever Nuri Nurhussien Travis Rand Sang Lam Teacher Mrs L Parnis Mrs Betty Batty Mrs A Paschalidis 5156.02 - Albion State School 2003 Grade 3 4T 5156.02 - Albion State School 2003 Grade 3 4T Names Back Row L2R Nicole Williams Paloma Donato Carl Schwencke Mitchell Jessica Heeps Thuy Tran Amy Caruana Smith Tarick Halaseh Travis Montague Bethany Tippet Second Row L2R Imran Clancy Nicolle Reynolds Aaron McIntyre Bojana Kakuca Melissa Hall Jesse Culhane Saamu Sasa Opacic Luke DAlfonso Front Row L2R Suerour Abdul Alrahman Jim Murphy Julie Ung Zoe Ward Kasey Davis Hayden Formosa Kobi Marsden Teachers Mary Talbot Sadnra Spurr 5156.03 - Albion State School 2003 Grade 5 6H 5156.03 - Albion State School 2003 Grade 5 6H Names Back Row L2R Dusan Zarkovic Scott Leetham Owen Malolo Aidan Wileman Zayne Duggan Rafael Protacio Michael Nardella Second Row L2R James Schwencke Mitchell Olivia Moore Julie Rand Stephanie Stronell Sang Nguyen Jacqulyn TeRay Dion Johnson Corine Markovic Front Row L2R Daniel Kindred Jennifer Truong Tony Tongpoon Jahnah Anne Clark Lynda Ferrara Merren Smart Peter Mayne Absent Alisi Faingaanuku Teacher Wayne Haren 5156.04 - Albion State School 2003 Grade 5 6T 5156.04 - Albion State School 2003 Grade 5 6T Names Back Row L2R Cody Mayne William Burrows Sam Malolo Rachel Elliott David Kennedy Jack Wightman Peter Horak Second Row L2R Callan Tishler Christopher Dymott Malgorzata Wasilewska Jade Formosa Kelly Kennedy Jenny Williams Robert Reynolds Ben Milicevic Front Row L2R Jake Raye Hayley McPhan Lindsay Ladd John Teagan Maguire Tiffany Smith Jesse Hearn Nichalos Davie Teacher Jann Turner 5156.05 - Albion State School 2003 Grade Prep 1B 5156.05 - Albion State School 2003 Grade Prep 1B Names Back Row L2R Nerys Davie Jamie Wooding Amanda Mach Michelle Banh Shannae Marsh Howe Adam Ferrara Second Row L2R Bronwyn Testa Steven Firth Alexis Ante Nhu Nguyen Darko Grezlov Jenny Truong Front Row L2R Jordan Birch Dylan Tishler Cindy Nguyen Hani Mohammad Jake Lever Teacher Miss E Barr Mrs Betty Batty 5156.06 - Albion State School 2003 Grade Prep G 5156.06 - Albion State School 2003 Grade Prep G Names Back Row L2R Haylee Markinkovic Dylan Harris Rhiannon Clayton Courtney Doggett Second Row L2R Linh Tran Madelyne Markovic Ethan Caruana Smith Elsie Kanongataa Jai Banda Cecilia Nguyen Bradley Rickard Front Row L2R Leah Maguire David Le Tiffany Anne Murphy Selina Heeps Liam McIntyre Allison Smart Teacher Mrs D George Ms J Shaw 5156.07 - Albion State School 2003 Staff 5156.07 - Albion State School 2003 Staff Names Back Row L2R Angela Paschalidis Betty Batty Jann Turner John Milne Wayne Haren Andrea Murray Lorraine Farrugia Second Row L2R Lynn Mahoney Sandra Spurr Elissa Barr Julie Hrovatin Marnie Galea Susan Carpenter Adrienne Erwood Front Row L2R Mary Talbot Lorraine Parnis Teresa Woods Julie Shaw Donna George Emily Dimitracopoulos Absent Chris Sortinoalbion state school, albion primary school, adelaide street, albion
