non-fictionThis Environmental History of the Cardinia Shire incorporates the Environmental History of the former Shire of Pakenham, compiled by Carlotta Kellaway for Graeme Butler & Associates and the Environmental History of those areas of the Shire formerly in the Shires of Cranbourne and Sherbrooke, compiled by Jill Barnard for Graeme Butler and Associates. An environmental history, which is meant as a guide to the identification of sites of significance within a shire, cannot be a complete social history of that shire. Rather, it is meant to be a summary of the various ways in which people have used and reacted to the natural environment, altering it so as to create economic, social, cultural and educational uses for themselves and their neighbours.
