Geelong’s Changing Landscape offers an insightful investigation of the ecological history of the Geelong and Bellarine Peninsula region. Commencing with an insightful perspective by Wadawurrung Elders, chapters trace through colonisation and post-World War II industrial development to the present challenges surrounding the ongoing urbanisation of this region.

Expert contributors provide a thoughtful analysis of the ecological and cultural characteristics of the landscape, the impact of past actions, and options for ethical future management of the region. This book will be of value to scientists, engineers, land use planners, environmentalists and historians.
