Fix this textAUSTRALIA’S GREATEST
Fix this textINTERNAL QUESTION.
Fix this text“ An Article of A.N.A. Faith.”
Fix this textTo a country subject to periodical visita-
Fix this texttions of drought the question of the con-
Fix this textservation of water becomes to all intelligent
Fix this textcitizens an intensely serious study. It is a
Fix this textpractical proposition for practical minds to
Fix this textconsider and determine,
Fix this text“ Content if something from our hands have
Fix this textpower
Fix this textTo live, and act, and help the future hour.”
Fix this textA survey of the Murray waters ques-
Fix this texttion should convince every patriotic citi-
Fix this textzen that resolute, persistent action is
Fix this textnecessary to bring the Governments of
Fix this textthe three riparian States interested into
Fix this textagreement. This has been attempted in
Fix this textthe past, but all attempts have so far
Fix this textresulted in dismal failure.
Fix this textWhen the late Hugh M'Coll went to
Fix this textBendigo in 1857 as a commercial travel-
Fix this textler, the great need for the conservation
Fix this textof the sparse waters of the north of Vic-
Fix this texttoria impressed him vividly, and many
Fix this textwere the efforts he made to get dams
Fix this textconstructed to give the miners of those
Fix this textdays a supply of water. He was mainly
Fix this textinstrumental in having the Coliban
Fix this textReservoir built, and M'Coll and his
Fix this textcanals became a household word through
Fix this textNorthern Victoria. Like all pioneers of
Fix this textgreat movements, he had many oppo-
Fix this textnents with the hollow laugh that speaks
Fix this textthe vacant mind. The subject of the
Fix this textownership of the Murray waters, their
Fix this textreasonable use, and just apportionment
Fix this textto secure the greatest good for the great-
Fix this textest number, has been considered, debated,
Fix this textand sheaves of declaratory resolutions
Fix this textpassed almost yearly since 1857. In
Fix this text1884 a Royal Commission was appointed
Fix this textin New South Wales, under the presi-
Fix this textdency of Mr. (now Sir) Wm. J. Lyne,
Fix this text“ to make a diligent and full enquiry into
Fix this textthe best methods of conserving the rain-
Fix this textfall, and of searching for and developing
Fix this textthe underground reservoirs supposed to
Fix this textexist in the interior of that colony, and
Fix this textalso into the practicability, by a general
Fix this textsystem of water conservation and dis-
Fix this texttribution, of averting the disastrous con-
Fix this textsequences of the periodical droughts to
Fix this textwhich the colony is from time to time
Fix this textsubject.”
Fix this textIn 1886, under the presidency of the
Fix this textHonourable Alfred Deakin, M.P., a Vic-
Fix this texttorian Royal Commission created a new
Fix this textinterest in irrigation, which led to greatly
Fix this textincreased activity. In the same year two
Fix this textconferences were also held between the
Fix this textRoyal Commissions of New South Wales
Fix this textand Victoria.
Fix this textA series of ten resolutions concerning
Fix this textthe Murray waters was agreed to. We
Fix this textquote one, perhaps the most important, to
Fix this textshow the utter contempt displayed to-
Fix this textwards the South Australian settlers on
Fix this textthe River Murray.
Fix this text“ That the whole of the waters of the
Fix this textUpper Murray and its tributaries, and
Fix this textthe whole of the waters of the Lower
Fix this textMurray j shall be deemed to be the com-
Fix this textmon property of New South Wales and
Fix this textVictoria.
Fix this text“And, subject to the reservation of
Fix this textsuch compensation water as the trust
Fix this textmay from time to time determine, each
Fix this textof the said colonies shall have the right
Fix this textto take and divert one-half of such waters
Fix this textat such point or points as may, at the
Fix this textsanction of the trust, be fixed on.as most
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
