		The study area is the Yarra River corridor (including public and private land along the valley, the escarpment and immediate skyline) between Punt Road and Burke Road.
		As the Yarra River passes through several municipalities and agencies such as Parks Victoria and Melbourne Water also have management responsibilities, a consistent and coordinated regional approach is required to effectively manage and plan for the river valley.
		Along the Yarra River valley, the pressures for development are particularly intense between Punt Road and Burke Road, where private land is in close proximity to the river and former industrial sites are undergoing redevelopment for commercial and residential uses.

		Sherwin had himself seen the fish put in the Plenty, whether he was certain they were the true Murray River cod, and whether when put in they swam vigorously away as if lifelike and healthy; or lingered on the surface, as is the case with a weakly diseased, or disabled fish.
		If, as 1 believe and hope, these fish are to prove the progenitors of countless thousands, which in their own good time will make their way throughout the waters of the Yarra and all its tributaries, the circumstances of their introduction to the streams on this side of the dividing range should be unquestionable.
		One bream died about four hours after they were put into the river, and three days subsequently 1 found one codfish dead in the hole and one bream in the river.

	The Long Yarra Quilt
		To those of us who live along the Yarra, whether in busy cosmopolitan Melbourne or in some quiet retreat high in the hills near the source, the Yarra is our river, and just what that means could be expressed in a thousand—ten thousand—a million—ways.
		We began at the wide, calm, expanse where the Yarra empties into Port Phillip Bay and trekked past South Bank and the Botanic Gardens, through some of the oldest parts of the city and into the outskirts, until we were in the quiet of the hills.
		Feelings about the Yarra are much more diverse than our famous "multi-culture", for each of us—every single individual person—is affected by the Yarra in a unique way.The quilt, then, was an opportunity for individuals to try to show the Yarra to the world through their very personal eyes.

		The river was "Birrarung" - "River of mists and shadows" to the the original inhabitants - the Wurundjeri people.
		The name "Yarra" is attributed to surveyor John Wedge, who on his 1835 exploration, asked local aborigines what they called the cascading waters on the lower section of the river.
		That's because the city grew from the banks of the Yarra and even today the focus for the city is still very much on a one-kilometre section of the river.
