Why was Melbourne named Melbourne?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Settlement of the Port Phillip district was begun in 1835 after a purchase of land from the local Aboriginal chiefs. On 6 June 1835, John Batman signed a 'treaty' with the Aborigines, giving him free access to almost 250,000 hectares of land. In August that year, Governor Bourke declared Batman's treaties invalid, and issued a proclamation warning off him and his syndicate as trespassers on crown land. Despite the attempts at government intervention, the foundling settlement of Melbourne remained, and flourished. (After the death of Batman in 1839, John Fawkner took the opportunity to promote himself as the founder of Melbourne.) On a visit by Governor Bourke in 1837, Melbourne was officially founded and named for Viscount Melbourne, the Prime Minister of Britain, on the 8th of March. The Colony of Victoria was created on the 1st of July, 1850, and named for Queen Victoria.

What is the fine for not having car registration in Utah?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fines may varyThe fines vary from state to state and even town to town. In my town, if the cops catch you driving w/o a valid registration, they hook your car!

No registration from Division of Motor Vechile = no owner.

Same in Virginia.

This is not necessarily true. I have been ticketed for this in MD and it was a $40 fine with no points and the officer let me drive away with no problem.

What top answer mean is no registration record from Division of Motor Vechile. Not missing little card in glove box. Police can get VIN and check with DMV.

What were the impacts of the Black Saturday bushfires?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There were many social, economic, environmental and political effects resulting from the horrific 2009 Black Saturday bushfires.

To begin with, 173 people lost their lives. This was a terribly traumatic time for those who lost friends and family. Significant numbers of people from small communities were affected. Whole towns were almost completely destroyed, or severely damaged, such as Marysville, Kinglake, Narbethong, Hazeldene, Kilmore, Yea, Churchill and Narre Warren. Over 1,800 homes were destroyed, and this resulted in more trauma of loss and displacement, not to mention the massive economic impacts of so much property loss. Two years after the disaster, only 41% of properties had been rebuilt or were in the process of rebuilding.

The total economic cost, including insurance payouts, has been estimated at A$4.4 billion. This figure does not include agricultural losses, which were estimated to include 11,800 head of livestock, 62,000 hectares of grazing land and 32,000 tonnes of hay and silage.

The bushfires burned over 400,000 hectares of land, and thousands of native animals were killed. There were 27 Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Actlisted species in the fire area and another 19 Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act listed species in the fire area, so the effect on vulnerable species and biodiversity was severe. Many recovery programmes for these affected species were put in place: details can be found at the related weblink below.
