The Werribee River is a perennial river that flows across the volcanic plains west of  Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. One of the main rivers which flows into the Werribee River is the Lerderderg River. It begins in the hills near Ballan and flows for 110 kms before reaching Port Phillip Bay near the city of Werribee. 

Much of the area along the river is protected by parks, including the Werribee Gorge State Park. The river also flows through the Werribee Open Range Zoo. The Werribee River Trail follows the river from Tarneit to Werribee.

The Werribee River flows into the Melton Reservoir. Water from the river is used to irrigate the market gardens of Bacchus Marsh and Werribee South. The Western Treatment Plant, the main sewerage treatment plant for Melbourne, is near the river mouth on the bay.
History
Before the arrival of white settlers, the Werribee River was the boundary of the Bunurong tribe. Its six clans lived along the Victorian coast across the Mornington Peninsula, Western Port Bay to Wilsons Promontory.

In the late 1830s and 1840s the Werribee River was the scene of fighting between the Wautharong people and the European settlers. The squatter Charles Franks and a shepherd were speared to death near Mount Cottrell in July 1836. Because of this,  John Batman led a group of men to punish the aborigines. They found a large group of aborigines and shot them, killing at least ten. There are also reports of flour containing arsenic being given to local aborigines.

In 1851 a large timber bridge was built to cross the Werribee River to replace an earlier wooden bridge. In 1852 this bridge was washed away when the river flooded.
In August 2004 the Victorian Government promised $300,000 to fix the Werribee River. This involved removing willow trees which were choking the river around the township and replacing them with native plants.

The name
The explorers Hume and Hovell camped by the river on 15 December 1824. They named it the Arndell after Hovell's father-in-law. John Helder Wedge 're-discovered' the river in 1835 and at first called it the Peel, but then changed it to the Ex or Exe. Exford, an early crossing place on the river, is based on this name. One of the local Wautharong speaking Kulin tribesman that accompanied Wedge said the name for the stream was 'Weariby Yallock' ('yallock' meaning 'stream'). The spelling changed to the present form of Werribee. The original aboriginal word meant spine or backbone.

Things to do 
There are many things to do along the river. A network of bike and walking trails along the river showcase the many different kinds of plants and animals that live along the river.
There are many fishing spots along the river. There are places to launch canoe and boats at the Werribee South Boat Ramp and Riverbend Historical Park.

Bird watching is also a popular activity. Care must be taken as there are Eastern Brown Snakes and other deadly fauna living near the river.

In music, the tonic note is the first note in a diatonic scale. It is the tonal centre, or the tone on which the music sounds finished. The triad, or chord, based on the tonic note, is the tonic chord. All other notes in a piece of music use the tonic note as a reference point. Musical scales are named after the tonic note. For example, the tonic of a scale of C, is the note C. The tonic is always numbered as one, or in traditional music theory as I (using Roman numerals).

THX is the trade name of a high-fidelity sound reproduction standard. It was used for movie theaters, screening rooms, home theaters, computer speakers, gaming consoles, and car audio systems.

THX stands for "Tomlinson Holman's eXperiment".  THX was developed by Tomlinson Holman at George Lucas's company Lucasfilm founded in 1983 to ensure that the soundtrack for the third Star Wars movie, Return of the Jedi, would be accurately reproduced in the best venues.
The THX system is not a recording technology, and it does not specify a sound recording format. All sound formats, whether digital (Dolby Digital, SDDS) or analog (Dolby SR, Ultra-Stereo), can be "shown in THX."  THX is mainly a quality assurance system.  THX-certified theaters provide a high-quality, predictable playback environment to ensure that any movie soundtrack mixed in THX will sound as near as possible to the intentions of the mixing engineer.  THX also provides certified theaters with a special crossover circuit whose use is part of the standard.  Certification of an auditorium entails specific acoustic and other technical requirements; architectural requirements include a floating floor, baffled and acoustically treated walls, no parallel walls (to reduce standing waves), a perforated screen (to allow center channel continuity), and NC30 rating for background noise.

Applications 

THX sets strict standards for high quality sound and images.
According to Tomlinson Holman, the inventor of the THX system, the name of the technology was deliberately chosen because it contained both a reference to his name, and to Lucas's early movie THX 1138. The original name was "Tom Holman's Crossover" (Crossover being sometimes referred to as Xover) or the "Tom Holman eXperiment."

THX Ltd., the company that licenses THX and the associated technology, is based in San Rafael, California, but has offices in Burbank and Hollywood.

THX launched a certification program for HD video products to ensure HD projectors, LCDs, plasmas and DVRs meet high standards for quality. The TiVo Series3 HD DVR and a number of projectors from Runco and Vidikron became the first THX Certified HD products.

The THX II Certified Car Audio System can be found in many Lincoln automobiles produced since 2003. The system was recently recognized among the Best Car Audio Systems of 2006 by the editors of CNET.
THX Ltd. started a licensing program for home screening rooms in 2005, which requires standards similar in concept, though not in detail, to its cinema certification program; before this happened, there was a very small number of (very expensive) home theatres which were actually constructed to THX Cinema standards, most notable of actor and comedian Eddie Murphy.

The world's largest THX cinema is the Colosseum Kino in Oslo, Norway.

The distinctive crescendo used in the THX trailers is known as the "Deep Note."

The character in the THX trailers is called "Tex" and was created by John Lasseter at Pixar.

The THX trailer entitled "Cimarron", which first appeared at the start of the 1988 movie Willow, used music composed by James Horner, while "Grand", which first appeared in theaters, featured a variation of the "Deep Note".

The THX Broadway logo on a DVD has a lower-pitched deep note, while the VHS/Laserdisc logo had a higher-pitched deep-note that was similar to "Wings" (1983).
The first theater THX was used in was at the University of Southern California's Eileen Norris Cinema Theatre as a part of USC's acclaimed film school.  The Norris Theatre's THX system is currently second-best in California to that of the Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Movie references

Some trailers have references to, or are stylized to match, various movies and video games.  Examples include:
Shrek (series):  The THX logo appears with its characteristic sound, followed shortly by the logo falling over, revealing that it is really just a wooden cutout. Behind the logo, Shrek and Donkey are shown playing the "Deep Note" sound with various instruments. Shrek rights the cutout/logo, and the sequence finishes as Shrek and Donkey poke their heads in from off-camera, for one final exchange.
 Terminator 2:  A change of the "Cavalcade" trailer shows a floating, electrified ball of energy on the screen, which is quickly replaced with an identity scanning device. The device fires beam that scans left to right, as if scanning the viewer's eyes, after which the "T2" logo appears. The logo is then shot by the Terminator (his reflection is slightly visible on the logo) causing it to explode into small, irregular pieces. Sparks fall as the pieces slowly melt into a silvery liquid, which then transforms back into the THX logo, and then plays the "Deep Note" sound.
Toy Story: The THX logo and the "Deep Note" sound start as usual, which then breaks down as if due to an electrical failure. A blue light is switched on as Tex rolls in from off-camera, opens a panel on the X, grabs a rocket pack, and flies off screen, pulling out a hammer just before he goes off screen. Tex hammers at something on the right side of the screen, drills at something on the left side, audibly complains after dropping one of his tools, flies over to the T, and moves a large switch. The switch causes the logo to re-activate and complete its usual sequence, and then re-plays the "Deep Note" sound.
 Taz Wanted: A Looney Tunes video game have a lot of the THX Tex trailers as one of the Easter eggs:
The THX logo and the "Deep Note" sound start as usual, which then breaks down as if due to an electrical failure. A blue light is switched on as Taz spins in from off-camera, opens a door on the X, grabs a ACME jetpack, and flies off screen, pulling out a golden hammer just before he flies off screen. Taz hammers at something on the right side of the screen, drills at something on the left side, audibly complains after dropping one of his tools, flies over to the T, and moves a large switch. The switch causes the logo to re-activate and complete its usual sequence, and then re-plays the "Deep Note" sound.
Parodies 
 Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny: A short animated segment of Jack Black and Kyle Gass performing a sound check which consists of the duo farting precedes the appearance of a change reading "THC" with the subtitle, "The audience is baking." The classic THX tone is replaced by two gas-passing sounds in the same tone.
 Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation: A movie begins with a hand holding a wand as if to call an orchestra to order, which then touches off a dischordant, ridiculously loud, powerful trailer. The force of the sound is shown blasting characters from their seats. As the trailer comes to a close, text appears on the screen reading: "THUD Sound Systems, a division of Mucasfilm LTD". The trailer ends with a voice speaking the words "The audience is now deaf."
The Simpsons: In the episode "Burns' Heir", the THX logo and the "Deep Note" sound play extremely loudly causing the ground to shake, people's teeth to shatter and one man's head to explode. Despite this, Grandpa Simpson still demands that they turn the volume up.
 The Simpsons Movie: The DVD and Blu-ray releases have an unauthorized parody of the THX Tex trailers as an Easter egg, where Homer Simpson becomes annoyed by a "Tex" caricature and eventually smashes it. A disclaimer after the trailer explains that neither the trailer nor The Simpsons Movie itself involved THX's input. Because of this, an imitation of the "Deep Note" sound is used and the logo used in the parody reads "TH\".
 Over the Hedge: During the scene where the animals are in a house, one of the characters were trying to setup a camera with a television, but accidentally tune the TV to a movie starting with the THX logo and the "Deep Note" crescendo.
Boondocks: In the episode "...Or Die Trying", Grandpa mimics the THX deep note crescendo when reassuring Jazmin that the theater they are going to is a quality theater.
 2001: In 2000, rapper Dr. Dre was sued by Lucasfilm, then-owner of THX, for using an unauthorized sample of Deep Note on his album 2001. The sample is used at the very beginning of his intro song and is almost entirely unedited and played in full.
 Phineas and Ferb: The Movie: The DVD and Blu-ray have an unauthorized parody of the THX Tex trailers as an Easter egg like The Simpsons Movie, where Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz becomes annoyed by Tex and eventually smashes it, then Perry the Platypus flies in from off-camera. Because of this, an imitation of the "Deep Note" sound is used and the logo used in the original Tex trailer.
The Curse of Monkey Island: At the beginning of the video game, the THX logo that appears is replaced with the letters CMI, and instead of the "Deep Note" crescendo, we can hear a "Monkeys Screaming" crescendo. At the end, text appears on the screen reading: "The monkeys are listening".
Johnny Test: The Movie: The DVD and Blu-ray have an unauthorized parody of the THX Tex trailers as an Easter egg like The Simpsons Movie, where Mr. Wacko becomes annoyed by Tex and eventually smashes it. Because of this, a cyber-tronic version of the "Deep Note" sound is used and the logo used in the Tex 2 trailer.

Sound
Deep Note is a crescendo used for THX trailers.  It was created by James A. Moorer in 1983, who was now an employee of the Lucasfilm Computer Division. The sound is used on trailers for THX-certified movie theatres and video releases. It was first used in the THX trailer shown before the 1983 premiere of Return of the Jedi.

Description
The U.S. trademark registration for the sound contains this description of it:

The Deep Note had originally been from a soft to a loud pitch. Over the years it has been remixed digitally which made the Deep Note with a more abridged sound. Beginning in 1988 the Deep Note became louder and abridged. In 1993 the Deep Note was cut short to save time for Laserdisc (1995 for VHS). Most recently, however, the Deep Note has been cut short to the single note (where both sounds stay in one pitch). This is in favor of other sound effects in certain THX logos.
The sound is perceived as louder than it actually is; sound designer Gary Rydstrom explains that, "from a technical standpoint, 'Deep Note' just feels loud because it has a spectrum of frequencies that grows from small to large."

James A. Moorer has been quoted as saying, "I like to say that the THX sound is the most widely-recognized piece of computer-generated music in the world. This may or may not be true, but it sounds cool!"

Furthermore,

Previous works

Prior to the creation of Deep Note, several other works made use of similar techniques of frequency spread.

In their book Analog Days, Trevor Pinch and Frank Trocco point to the track "Spaced", from the 1970 Beaver & Krause album In a Wild Sanctuary as the source for Deep Note. They quote synthesizer builder Tom Oberheim as saying the original analog form is much richer than the "digital perfection" used in movie theatres.
Other similar predecessors include:
 Iannis Xenakis' piece Metastasis (1955), which contains a very similar effect in the first minute that begins on a single tone and slowly spreads into a quarter tone cluster.
 The Beatles' 1967 song "A Day in the Life," which concludes with "an orchestral crescendo".
 Styx's 1974 song "Krakatoa," which features the spread tone.
 Yellow Magic Orchestra's 1981 track "Loom," with an upward slow glissando to crescendo at the beginning.

In popular culture 
The perceived loudness of the Deep Note is frequently depicted as having actual destructive effects:
In movies and TV shows
 The 1992 made-for-video feature Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Vacation shows a Deep Note–like trailer blasting a theatre, concluding with the text "THUD: The Audience Is Now Deaf."
 In the 1994 Simpsons episode "Burns' Heir," a THX trailer plays before a movie, blowing the audience back, shattering eyeglasses, teeth, and even causing one person's head to explode; despite this, Grampa Simpson shouts, "Turn it up! Turn it up!"  This segment was later turned into a THX theatrical trailer.
 In the 2006 movie Over the Hedge, Deep Note is featured in a scene late in the movie, when the animals enter a house and the porcupines were trying to setup a camera with a television, but accidentally tune the TV to a movie starting with the sound. The shear force of the sound blows some porcupine quills off.
 In the Boondocks episode "...Or Die Trying", Grandpa mimics the "Deep Note" when reassuring Jazmin that the theater they are going to is a quality theater.
In Video Games 

 Tex, and the THX trailer that shares his name, are featured in an easter egg on Midnight Club: Los Angeles Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 releases and Taz: Wanted PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and PC versions, the lower-pitched version of the "Deep Note" is heard.

In music
 Rapper Dr. Dre was sued in 2000 by Lucasfilm, then-owner of THX, for using an unauthorized cover of "Deep Note" on his album 2001. 
 Australian grindcore band The Berzerker use the sound in their concerts before they perform the song "Mono Grind."
 The "Mega Lo Mania Remix" of Mylène Farmer's song "California" begins with Deep Note.
 Rock band Asia used Deep Note as the opening for the song "Countdown to Zero" from their 1985 album Astra.

 Tex, and the THX trailer that shares his name, are parodied in an easter egg on The Simpsons Movie DVD and Blu-ray releases. The trailer was made without the involvement of THX. In this parody, Tex awakes Homer Simpson, who was sleeping in a hammock. He is then chased around the frame, and was smashed before he can "repair" the trailer. Besides, the logo is not shown entirely. The logo reads "TH\" and a parody of the "Deep Note" is heard. This trailer is a parody and was not approved by THX.
The sound was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Movie Trend.

The Derwent is a river in Tasmania, Australia. It was named after the River Derwent, Cumbria, by British Commodore John Hayes who explored it in 1793. The name is Brythonic Celtic for "valley thick with oaks".
John Hays placed the name "Derwent River" only in the upper part of the river. Matthew Flinders placed the name on all of the river.

The banks of the Derwent were once covered by forests and occupied by Aborigines. European settlers farmed the area and during the 20th century many dams were built on its tributaries.

Interlaced video is a method to display an image. Images are drawn line by line, and interlacing means that the odd lines are drawn first, and the even lines are "filled in" later. The two parts of the image are called fields, and are transmitted one after the other. 

Telefunken invented the method in the 1920s. Today it is widely used for displaying images and video.
