The Shire of Bass was a local government area about south-southeast of Melbourne, the state capital of Victoria, Australia. The shire covered an area of , and existed from 1871 until 1994. Its administrative centre was located in Archies Creek. ==History== Bass was first incorporated as the Phillip Island Road District on 8 September 1871, and became the Shire of Phillip Island and Woolamai on 24 December 1874. When the Phillip Island Riding was severed on 19 September 1928, its name changed to the Shire of Woolamai, and finally the Shire of Bass on 8 January 1929. It was reduced and redefined in 1977, including the loss of North Wonthaggi to the Borough of Wonthaggi.〔 Accessed at State Library of Victoria, La Trobe Reading Room.〕 The shire's area covered the majority of the mainland of the currently existing Bass Coast Shire, except for the areas of Wonthaggi, Inverloch, parts of the areas south of Korumburra and some of the coastline southwest of The Gurdies. The shire area spanned from the tiny township of The Gurdies (located approximately south of Melbourne, on the Bass Highway) to Dalyston, while the northern parts spanned around Kernot, Almurta, Glen Forbes and other areas northwest of Inverloch. On 2 December 1994, the Shire of Bass was abolished, and, along with the Borough of Wonthaggi, the Shire of Phillip Island and parts of the City of Cranbourne and the Shires of Korumburra and Woorayl, was merged into the newly created Bass Coast Shire. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shire of Bass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
