The Yarra Valley is the name given to the region surrounding the Yarra River in Victoria , Australia . ___MASK32___ originates approximately 90 kilometres east of the Melbourne central business district and flows towards it and out into Port Phillip Bay . The name Yarra Valley is used in reference to the upper regions surrounding the Yarra River and generally does not encompass the lower regions including the city and suburban areas , where the topography flattens out , or the upper reaches which are in inaccessible bushland . Included in the Yarra Valley is the sub - region of Upper Yarra ( or the Upper Yarra Valley ) which encompasses the towns of the former Shire of Upper Yarra in the catchment area upstream of and including Woori Yallock . The Yarra Valley is a popular day - trip and tourist area , featuring a range of natural features and agricultural produce , as well as the Lilydale to Warburton Rail Trail . Melbourne is the capital and most populous city of the Australian state of Victoria , and the second - most populous city in Australia . The name " Melbourne " refers to an urban agglomeration spanning which comprises the broader metropolitan area , as well as being the common name for its city centre . The metropolis is located on the large natural bay of Port Phillip and expands into the hinterlands towards the Dandenong and Macedon mountain ranges , Mornington Peninsula and Yarra Valley . Melbourne consists of 31 municipalities . It has a population of 4 , 529 , 500 , and its inhabitants are called Melburnians . The 1975 Australian constitutional crisis , also known simply as the Dismissal , has been described as the greatest political and constitutional crisis in Australian history . It culminated on 11 November 1975 with the dismissal from office of the Prime Minister , Gough Whitlam of the ___MASK87___ ( ALP ), by Governor - General Sir John Kerr , who then commissioned the Leader of the Opposition , Malcolm Fraser of the Liberal Party , as caretaker Prime Minister . Moses Henry `` Moss '' Cass ( born 18 February 1927 ) is a former member of the Australian House of Representatives . Born in Narrogin , Western Australia , Cass was educated in state schools before graduating in Medicine from the University of Sydney and was employed as a Fellow at the Royal Children ' s Hospital in Melbourne and as Director of the Melbourne - based Trade Union Clinic and Research Centre . His union activities led to his pre - selection as the Labor candidate for the federal seat of Maribyrnong , which he won from the Liberals in 1969 . Cass became part of the first national Labor government in 23 years when Gough Whitlam led the ALP to power in the 1972 election . Appointed Minister for the Environment and Conservation , in 1975 Cass led parliamentarians and ALP branch members in expressing concerns about the effects of uranium mining . A key concern was the adverse effect that uranium mining would have on the northern Aboriginal people . Cass said : `` nuclear energy creates the most dangerous , insidious and persistent waste products , ever experienced on the planet '' . Cass was unsuccessful in seeking to prevent the flooding of Lake Pedder in Tasmania . Nonetheless he did lay the groundwork for the end of sandmining on Fraser Island and government protection of the Great Barrier Reef . Retiring from politics in 1983 , Cass is now a Patron of the Sustainable Living Foundation and chair of the Australian National Biocentre . He is an Honorary Fellow at the School of Social and Environmental Enquiry , University of Melbourne . Cass is believed to be the originator of the saying , `` We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors ; we borrow it from our children '' ( although a similar saying was used earlier by the environmental activist Wendell Berry ) . On 13 November 1974 , when Cass was Minister for the Environment , Heritage and the Arts , he gave a speech in Paris to the meeting of the Organisation for Economic Co - operation and Development . He said : `` We rich nations , for that is what we are , have an obligation not only to the poor nations , but to all the grandchildren of the world , rich and poor . We have not inherited this earth from our parents to do with it what we will . We have borrowed it from our children and we must be careful to use it in their interests as well as our own . Anyone who fails to recognise the basic validity of the proposition put in different ways by increasing numbers of writers , from Malthus to The Club of Rome , is either ignorant , a fool , or evil . '' Cass ' version was longer than modern elisions , but it is the first known instance of the saying .
