Raymond Island
Raymond Island (Gunai/Kurnai language: Bunjil-baul)〔(Wurruk: by Vaughan Nikitin, ChaosFilter.com Online Publishing, A Story Written in an Aboriginal Ganai - Kurnai - Language - Mountain Cattlemen - Victoria - Gippsland - Aboriginal History, Myth, Legend )〕 is a small island in the Gippsland Lakes in eastern Victoria, Australia, about from Melbourne. The island is approximately long by wide, and is just off the coast, across from the town of Paynesville. The island is named after William Odell Raymond,〔Raymond Island: Past, Present, Future by Midge Beesley, 1986, ISBN 1-86252-649-4, page 22〕 originally a magistrate from New South Wales who established himself as a squatter in Gippsland in the 1840s.〔(An historical treatise on the Raymond family of County Kerry and Hollywood House near Adare, County Limerick, in Ireland, later of New South Wales and Victoria by M.A. Watson )〕
Raymond Island is well-known locally for its large koala population, originally introduced to the island in 1953,〔(Letter from the Office of the Director of Fisheries and Game, 23 September 1953 )〕 and for the Raymond Island Ferry, a chain ferry that links the island to Paynesville on the mainland.
==Raymond Island Ferry==
The Raymond Island Ferry provides the only link between the island and the mainland, but also acts as an effective barrier to faster development of the island community. A ferry has run between Paynesville and Raymond Island since 1889,〔(Plaque from Raymond Island Advancement League, 1989, on current Raymond Island Ferry )〕 and has been an integral and sometimes controversial feature of life on Raymond Island. Some continue to call for the ferry to be replaced by a bridge; others believe the ferry is an integral part of life on the island. In 2011, the East Gippsland Shire Council is conducting another review of "Raymond Island Access",〔(Review of Raymond Island Access - Community Engagement Plan, East Gippsland Shire Council )〕 based on an action to "Develop a plan to resolve access to Raymond Island" in the Council Plan 2009-2013.〔(East Gippsland Shire Council Plan 2009-2013, Version 3. Updated for 2011/12, Accessed 24 June 2011 )〕 This follows earlier considerations which reached a decision to maintain the existing ferry service (e.g., in 2003 〔(Council considers island bridge option, ABC News Online Mon 24 Nov 2003 )〕). Before the current ferry was commissioned in 1997, the topic was the subject of an academic paper in the Rural Society Journal which examined "the controversy over the proposal to link Raymond Island, Victoria to the mainland through construction of a bridge, to replace the current ferry service".〔(A bridge too far? : Community power structures on Victoria's Raymond Island Kay Gravell, Rural Society Journal, Volume 4, Issue 2, 1994 )〕 Ultimately, the issue has been discussed for decades without being permanently resolved, and opinions remain divided about the relative merits of ferry versus bridge.
