Acknowledgements

I'd like to thank the following for helping me get to this point:

A local (and private) Facebook History Group for kickstarting my interest in researching local historical sites and documenting information in a scholarly and, I hope, engaging way.

The Harcourt Heritage Centre, ANA Hall, 7 High Street Harcourt, VIC 3453 for its support and encouragement without which I probably wouldn't have made a start. In particular special thanks go to HHC's Bernie Schultze who took on the onerous task of editing, proof reading and book layout creation, a particularly challenging job with a first time author.  

This website and the book 'The Coliban Main Channel: A Walking Guide' would not have been possible if not for the invaluable historical materials available on the State Library of Victoria's website and on Trove, where old newspapers never die.

Jase Haysom not only suggested I visit the Harcourt Heritage Centre in the first place, his Cartography Community Mapping website is an amazing resource for those wanting highly detailed and accurate maps of local Central Victoria public lands. 

Rod Andrew, retired engineer with the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission, and author of a number of books on our local Coliban Water Reservoirs, lent me some key reference texts and helped me fix some early errors.
