Cheers to life well lived: Remembering Don Phillips (1931-2025)

By Deanne Jeffers DONALD “Don” Phillips was a man who lived life with colour, curiosity and a fearless sense of adventure. Born on September 18, 1931, he passed away on August 1, 2025 – just one month short of his 94th birthday – leaving behind a legacy as a devoted family man, respected publican, winemaker and community leader.

The fourth of six children, Don grew up at the Pine Lodge Hotel, riding bareback to Shepparton East Primary School with his siblings. In 1944, he was sent to St Patrick’s College in Ballarat, an experience he found cold and strict. By the late 1940s, after his father Tom had taken over the Australia Hotel, Don returned home to work alongside his siblings in what became affectionately known as Phillips’ Hotel.

In 1956, Don married Marion Plant and together they raised two sons, Trevor and Paul.

Their marriage lasted more than 50 years until Marion’s passing in 2012. Don later found love again with Selina Quilty, who survives him.

From early on, Don displayed an irresistible adventurous streak. He learned to fly with close

friend Max North, piloting Tiger Moths, Victa Airtourers, and later his own Beagle Airedale and Comanche 180. Paul recalls family holidays often meant flying to Queensland in small planes, or, in true Don fashion, taking a hang glider along so his sons could soar over sand dunes.

“Dad just loved to try new things,” said Paul.

“When I was about 15, he went and bought a hang glider so Trevor and I could go hang gliding. That was just him: adventurous, fun, always up for something different.”

Perhaps the greatest adventure came in 1973, when Don, Marion, and the boys set off from Melbourne by boat, landing in Portugal. They toured Europe in a Volkswagen Combi van before purchasing a canary yellow Volkswagen Beetle in Germany. With all their belongings strapped atop the Beetle, they continued their journey through more than a dozen countries along the Silk Road – from Greece and Turkey to Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India – before finally shipping the car home from Singapore.

“It was a rare part of history when there was no conflict,” Paul remembers. “Driving

through those places back then was an amazing experience. In Pakistan, we had to drive straight through in 24 hours with tape over the lights because of tensions with India. Dad just kept going.”

Back home, Don was never far from the social scene. Summers were spent at Lake Eildon with friends, houseboats and fishing rods. At the Aussie Hotel, he introduced weekly handball competitions that packed the lounge with more than 100 people, turning a quiet Wednesday night into a community gathering.

When the family sold the Aussie Hotel in 1979, Don wasn’t ready to slow down.

He bought the Goulburn Valley Winery on Vaughan Street and transformed it into Phillips Cellars. In its early years, he not only sold wine but also made it, producing Shiraz, Cabernet, and even Sauvignon Blanc before most Australians had heard of it. “People told him it would never take off,” Paul laughs. “But he said it would. He was right.”

Beyond his businesses, Don was deeply committed to community. A founding member of the Shepparton Lions Club in 1961, he remained active for more than 60 years, helping

Don and Paul Phillips, outside of Phillips Wine Cellars in 2015. Photo: The Adviser

to deliver countless projects and fundraisers.

He was also a long-serving member of the Shepparton Beefsteak & Burgandy Club, where he shared his knowledge and passion for wine.

Those who knew Don best describe him as larger than life: a man who loved people, laughter and a good adventure. “He always had something on the go,” Paul said. “He loved life, loved people, and he made the most of every opportunity.”

Don Phillips will be remembered not just for the businesses he built or the clubs he sustained, but for the way he embraced life with humour, courage, and a willingness to say yes to new experiences. His funeral at St Brendan’s (Knight Street, Shepparton) was a heartfelt celebration, with hundreds of family and friends gathering to farewell Don and share stories and memories that reflected a life lived to the fullest.

PIASTRI EXTENDS TITLE LEAD AFTER DUTCH GRAND PRIX WIN

Australia’s Oscar Piastri has taken a major step towards a maiden Formula 1 world championship after capitalising on misfortune for McLaren teammate Lando Norris at the Dutch Grand Prix.

Starting from pole after edging Norris by just 0.012 seconds in qualifying, Piastri controlled the race throughout. But with seven laps remaining, Norris suffered an oil leak and engine failure that forced him to retire, ending McLaren’s hopes of a 1-2 finish.

The result handed Piastri his seventh win of the season and a decisive Oscar Piastri in 2012.

NATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR INDIGENOUS BUILDER

TVN On-Country, the regional builder behind Shepparton’s Munarra Centre, has claimed two major honours at the 2025 Supply Nation Supplier Diversity Awards — Outstanding Impact and Registered Supplier of the Year.

The majority Aboriginal-owned business was recognised for its strong contribution to economic and social outcomes for First Nations communities. Its submission highlighted the Munarra project — the largest contract ever awarded to a First

Nations business by the State Government — which also delivered upgrades to the Rumbalara Football and Netball Club.

Exceeding ambitious targets, TVN created significant opportunities for Indigenous employment and procurement throughout the build.

Supply Nation works to connect Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses with government and corporate buyers, driving growth in Australia’s First Nations business sector.

“This is the highest recognition in the Indigenous business sector, and I’m humbled to accept it on behalf of our entire team,” said TVN On-Country managing director Jebb Hutchison. “When one Aboriginal business succeeds, we all succeed.”

They’re Grand Champions. Again!

Agriculture students at Greater Shepparton Secondary College have won the prestigious 2025 Victorian Merino Wether Challenge for the second year in a row.

GSSC students again raised six sheep on campus over six months, applying animal husbandry skills to produce topquality meat and wool. This year, 15 Victorian schools raised their own sheep sourced from the same stud to take on our reigning champions.

Ten handlers were selected to lead the GSSC flock of Shank, Lucifer, Chops, Rhino, Horny and Ethan in professional judging

at Clunes last week. GSSC won first place for Carcase Value, second place for Fleece Value and second place for Best Presented to retain their Grand Champion status.

The annual Wether Challenge has been fully incorporated into Year 10 Agriculture studies, with learning benefits extending to Year 9 electives and Year 11 VCE pathways.

Innovation in Agriculture and Horticulture learning, led by teacher Charlotte Drinnan and championed by GSSC leadership, has seen enrolment double in these subjects over the past year – boding well for our region’s booming agribusiness opportunities.

Farmers’ rights stripped for transmission line rollout CONTROVERSIAL legislation to fast-track the construction of new electrical transmission infrastructure, which grants state officials unprecedented powers to force their way onto private land, have passed in parliament.

Labor's National Electricity (Victoria) Amendment (VicGrid Stage 2 Reform) Bill 2025 passed with the support of the Animal Justice Party, the Greens, the Greens, and the Legalise Cannabis Party, despite fierce opposition from the Liberals and Nationals.

The new law empowers the state-controlled body, VicGrid, to use "reasonable force" to enter private land for transmission projects.

This includes the right to cut locks and break open gates without a landowner's consent.

Farmers and landowners who resist or obstruct this forced entry face steep penalties of up to $12,210.

Wendy Lovell, the Member for Northern Victoria, spoke out against the legislation, calling it "draconian" and a sign of Labor's "contempt for regional communities." She said the bill makes farmers and landowners, "the victim of Labor's ideological obsession with forcing through a rushed transition to renewable energy."

The Opposition secured one amendment to the bill, which prevents the Treasurer from diverting money from the community benefit fund into general revenue to cover cost blowouts. However, the Government, with support of the Greens, passed a separate amendment allowing funds to be redirected towards "biodiversity" programs instead.

The bill's passage comes amid a heated debate over the Victorian Transmission Plan.

The Government has refused to provide detailed costings to counter Professor Bruce Mountain's estimate of a $28 billion price tag.

GREATER SHEPPARTON CITY COUNCIL

DRACONIAN POWERS... Controversial land access legislation to facilitate new energy transmission projects has passed in Victorian Parliament after Labor won crossbench support. The legislation introduces new powers for authorised officers to force their way onto private land, and has been heavily criticised by landowners, farmers and the Opposition. Photo: Matthew Paul

Further, the new powers also centralise control within VicGrid, giving it the combined roles of planner, developer, regulator, and enforcer. This reform reportedly exempts VicGrid's planning documents from the Freedom of Information Act and removes the right of appeal for landholders.

The Opposition has pledged to repeal the legislation if elected. Ms Lovell said the Liberals will, "give back rural people the rights they have lost under Labor." They have also promised to reintroduce a two-kilometre buffer zone between homes and wind turbines and to repeal the right of appeal for regional Victorians.

Male hug for mental health It’s in every household; we know that from the stats. Everybody on the planet is going through some form of mental health, the earlier we start the conversation, the better Matthew Richardson

By Aaron Cordy MEN are often forgotten when the pressures of life take over. Well-being and mental health

can often take a backseat as the old school mentality of getting on with the job takes over leaving men feeling like there is nowhere to turn.

That is why Tony Rabah founded the Male Hug, to help break the stigma around men's mental health and get them to opening a dialogue in a supportive way.

“I saw a lot of professional guys going through a lot of stuff with their mental health, and just not talking about it. And I went through my own journey back when the GSC (Global Financial Crisis) was happening back in 2008-2009, so I decided to do something about it. In August of 2001 I founded the Male Hug,” said Tony.

Tony engaged a board of volunteers and began organising programs and supports, including an 1800 My Buddy line (1800 692 833) that people can call and speak to a trained buddy and Kick A Goal for Mental Health.

In October, the Male Hug holds TalkTober, with ambassadors like Group CEO of the Institute of Public Accountants IPA Andrew Conway, Matthew Richardson, Tim Mannah and Kevin Sheedy AO, which gets men talking about what really matters.

MALE HUG... In October, the Male Hug is holding TalkTober, to encourage men struggling with mental health to ‘Pass the Mic’ and connect with friends. The campaign is to break the stigma around men’s mental health, have a conversation and maybe save a life. Photo: Supplied

“This year, we are doing something a little different, we’re ‘Passing the Mic’ and connecting with our friends. The whole campaign is about raising awareness for men's mental health and doing something about it by engaging people with conversations about it,” said Tony.

TalkTober will be officially launched in the coming weeks, but you can register your interest now at www.themalehug.com.au.

“We want to amplify, raise as much awareness as possible, so that people who generally don’t talk see this and see that ‘Oh, S***, Kevin Sheedy has done a video, Matthew Richardson has done a video.’ I'll get behind this.

Calls for urgent funding to restore Kirwans Bridge STRATHBOGIE Shire Council is renewing calls for urgent action to restore Kirwans Bridge, which has been closed since the October 2022 floods.

Council is seeking $7.5M in state and federal funding to deliver either extensive structural repairs to the existing timber bridge, or construction of a new replica bridge that includes pedestrian and cycling access. Both options the Council said would restore a safe and resilience crossing that meets modern standards.

Mayor Claire Ewart-Kennedy said restoring the bridge was critical for the community and wider region.

“Kirwans Bridge is more than a piece of infrastructure; it’s part of our history and identity. Its closure has disrupted daily life, cut emergency response times, and affected tourism and agribusiness. Our community has waited long enough for certainty. We are calling on all levels of government to step up and fund its restoration.”

Council has committed $500,000 towards the project, subject to external funding, and has secured a further $140,000 to progress planning and design and to enable short term safe access for pedestrians and cyclists.

Engineering reports, concept plans, and initial specialist heritage assessments are now complete, making the project ready to proceed to detailed design once funding is confirmed.

Restoring the bridge is expected to deliver economic, social, and cultural benefits.

Reopening would improve connectivity for residents and freight operators, strengthen supply chains, and support growth in the visitor economy—particularly for the Nagambie wine region and surrounding attractions.

Cou ncil is continu ing to pu rsue opportunities through the Bridges Renewal Program, Heritage Victoria’s Living Heritage Grant, and other state and federal funding avenues.

Mayor, Cr Shane Sali’s words on future generations enjoying the playground are a welcome step in the right direction.

E

arthy, warm hues replace stark neutrals – This season, cosy and grounded palettes dominate. Think terracotta, olive greens, deep browns, and warm beige. These tones help create an inviting, emotionally rich spaces that feel like home.

Nature takes centre stage – Biophilic design is flourishing this spring. Expect to see interiors infused with natural elements such as reclaimed timber, bamboo, stone, and an abundance of greenery. Homes are increasingly designed to bring the outdoors in, with large windows, skylights, and green walls becoming key features.

“Warm Minimalism” emerges – Minimalist design isn’t disappearing, it’s just getting a softer, more personable makeover. Clean lines remain but are enhanced with layered textures, tactile fabrics, and organic materials, balancing simplicity with comfort.

Homes become wellness retreats – The home-as-sanctuary trend continues strong.

Outdoor spaces and backyards are being reimagined as peaceful wellness zones that are optimised for mindfulness, relaxation, and outdoor entertaining. Cafés’ cosy vibes are creeping into home interiors too, with living spaces adopting a café-style touches like plush furniture and layered lighting.

Sustainability and personal expression – Authenticity is in. Spring 2025 sees a move away from cookie-cutter décor toward pieces that reflect individual stories like vintage finds, custom furniture, and handmade accents.

There is also an eco-conscious focus, with homes becoming deeply personal and planet-friendly, utilising recycled, upcycled or ethically crafted items.

IN: Warm tones and natural elements; textured, layered interiors; cosy, nature-infused palettes; sustainable and bespoke decor.

OUT: Sterile minimalism; flat, impersonal spaces; cool whites and greys; and massproduced, uniform items.

RESILIENT MARKET... Shepparton’s property market is holding steady, with house prices up 3.9 per cent over the past year to a median of $470,000, while rents surged 9.1 per cent, according to realestate.com.au. Photo: Deanne Jeffers

Shepparton market holds firm amid shifting buyer trends S

HEPPARTON’S property market continues to show resilience, with house prices growing 3.9 per cent over the past year to reach a median of $470,000, according to realestate.com.au. Rents have also surged, climbing 9.1 per cent across the same period, highlighting ongoing demand in the region.

Fresh research from PRD Real Estate confirmed steady growth, reporting that Shepparton house prices rose across both six- and 12-month periods to June 2025.

Sales activity was particularly strong in the opening quarter of the year, with house sales up 31.2 per cent and unit sales recording an even sharper rise of 62.5 per cent.

PRD researchers noted that while higher interest rates

have softened house prices slightly, buyer preferences are beginning to shift. “Data suggest there is a shift in buyer preference towards units, due to its affordability (compared to house prices),” the report stated. “This increased demand and median unit price; thus, now is an ideal time for unit owners to sell.”

At present, the median price for a house in Shepparton sits at $480,000, while units hold a median of $377,000. A standout recent sale saw a three-bedroom Knight Street home sell for $820,000 after 138 days on the market.

The positive outlook is supported by NAB’s Regional Vic: Property Market Insights Q2 2025 report, which shows that regional markets are benefitting from continued migration away from metropolitan centres.

Across regional Victoria, house values rose 1.4 per cent in the June quarter and 1.1 per cent over the financial year, bringing the median house value to $617,770. Unit values also ticked upward by 1.1 per cent across the quarter, with the median sitting at $419,345.

For Shepparton specifically, NAB’s figures show a 4.1 per cent annual growth rate and 1 per cent quarterly growth, which signifies that the local market remains steady and attractive despite broader economic pressures.

Comparatively, Shepparton experienced greater annual growth than other regional centres, except for Mildura (9.9 per cent annual growth). Warrnambool, Bendigo, and Ballarat had greater quarterly growth than Shepparton.

Higher than previously anticipated population growth, and changes to government policy, have resulted in an upgrade to our forecasts

Working toward building 1.2M homes - Tim Reardon

HIA Chief Economist

A

USTRALIA is on track to see more than 1M new homes built over the next five years, according to the Housing Industry Association’s (HIA) latest outlook, but the total still falls short of the federal target of 1.2M.

HIA Chief Economist Tim Reardon said recent policy shifts, along with stronger-than-expected population growth, has prompted an upgrade in the association’s forecasts for new housing commencements. The revised outlook predicts 1.01 million new homes will begin construction by June 2029, up from the earlier forecast of 986,000.

“Higher than previously anticipated population growth, and changes to government policy, have resulted in an upgrade to our forecasts," Mr Reardon said.

The HIA’s quarterly Housing and Economic Outlook Report notes that declining interest rates have helped lift construction activity, though the gains are uneven across states and housing types. New South Wales and Victoria continue to lag behind Western Australia, South Australia and Queensland due to higher land and supply costs.

“Indications are that Australia’s population growth will remain elevated and exceed 30 million before the end of 2030. This will force up the price of established homes and increasingly see new home construction as a cheaper alternative,” Mr Reardon said.

BUILDING UP...

Australia is set to build 1M homes in the next five years, an uptick from previous forecasts but still short of the 1.2M target. Pictured is Lauriston Estate in North Shepparton. Photo: Deanne Jeffers

Government initiatives—such as New South Wales’ plan to underwrite apartment sales and fast-track approvals, along with the Federal Government’s move to reduce Lenders Mortgage Insurance for first-home buyers—are expected to add thousands of dwellings to supply. HIA estimates the deposit scheme alone could support an additional 10,000 homes per year.

The report also forecasts growth in detached housing and multi-unit projects over the coming years. Detached house starts are expected to rise 7.2 per cent in 2025 to around 115,000 before peaking at more than 125,000 in 2027. Multi-

unit construction, meanwhile, is tipped to climb sharply from 72,000 in 2025 to almost 100,000 by 2029, as apartment developments become more financially viable.

Mr Reardon said structural factors such as population flows and planning policy would continue to shape where and how new housing stock is delivered.

“Home building activity will flow to those regions with the lower cost of delivering new homes to market,” he said.

While forecasts point to steady improvement, the HIA maintains that significant reform is still needed to meet the national housing target and keep pace with demand.

A SUSTAINABLE HOME BUILT IN SHIPPING CONTAINERS... Rushworth local, Steve Hutcheson has spent many years abroad, working with the United Nations to rebuild infrastructure in conflict and disaster zones. Now, he is harnessing his expertise to build, what promises to be a breathtaking home constructed from 10, 40-foot shipping containers. Photo: Melanie Spencer

One man, ten containers and a relentless dream

By Natasha Fujimoto & Melanie Spencer

C

RAFTING his own personal masterpiece, local Rushworth man Steve Hutcheson is rolling up his sleeves to construct an extraordinary home. Drawing on a lifetime of experience in engineering and construction, including work on infrastructure in conflict and disaster zones overseas, Steve is applying his ingenuity along with a bucketload of grit and determination to build a fire-resilient, off-grid container house. Forged from steel, sweat and relentless resolve, it’s a project that reflects not only his resourcefulness but his enduring vision.

With the kind of self-reliance that comes from rebuilding communities from the ground up working with the United Nations, Steve’s self-build is by no means a run-of-the-mill undertaking. Instead, his concept is a modern, sustainable home built from ten 40-foot shipping containers.

Innovatively designed, this robust house is situated just outside a

designated fire zone and in termite territory, so Steve’s choice of a metalframed structure clad in Monument Matt corrugated iron is no accident. Every surface, including walls, floors, ceilings and roof, is fully insulated, with hydronic heating running through the entire house.

Undertaking much of the work himself along with his friend Regan, he is

supported by local trades for plumbing and electrical work, Steve is two and a half years into the construction. From welding the frame to installing a crane on-site to lift materials, it has been a physically demanding and deeply personal endeavour.

With flooring and internal linings currently underway, the home is already

ST YLE

an impressive structure despite a lot of finishing work still ahead. Featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an expansive office, lounge, kitchen, dining area, walk-in pantry and laundry, each bedroom opens onto its own balcony.

Incredibly, there are 38 windows, glorious cypress pine floors and a handcrafted front door made from recycled timber and rustic welded steel.

By all accounts a bold initiative, Steve’s container home is an inspirational tribute to the enterprise of one man’s skilled vision and a lasting testament to the importance of a dream realised.

Spruce up your backyard

BUSY BEES... Spring is the season when gardens burst back to life. With a little care and attention, you can have your garden looking sensational in every season. Photo: Supplied

Keep your garden thriving S

PRING is the perfect time to give your garden a boost and set it up for a season of vibrant growth. Here are three top tips to keep your outdoor space healthy and thriving:

1. Feed Your Plants After winter, your soil may be lacking nutrients. Add a balanced fertiliser or organic compost to give flowers, vegetables, and shrubs the energy they need to grow strong.

Mulching around plants also helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

2. Prune and Tidy Trim back dead branches, spent flowers, and overgrown shrubs. Not only does this

improve your garden’s appearance, but it also encourages new growth and keeps plants healthy. Remember to use clean, sharp tools to prevent disease.

3. Water Wisely Spring can bring unpredictable weather, so monitor your garden’s water needs carefully. Early morning watering reduces evaporation, and drip irrigation or soaker hoses ensure roots get deep, consistent moisture without wasting water.

By feeding, pruning, and watering with care, your garden will flourish all season long. With a little attention now, you can enjoy a colourful, productive, and healthy outdoor space.

FEMALE-LED FIRM… Morrison & Sawers Lawyers have been a cornerstone of legal expertise in the region for more than 130 years. With five female directors and a largely female team, the firm fosters a culture of flexibility, work-life balance, and long-term commitment. This year, two staff members—Director Robyn Curtis and Conveyancing Clerk Penny Newman—celebrated 40 years of service, while several others have marked more than a decade with the firm.

A culture built on balance and support IN the legal profession, balance and flexibility are often hard to find. At Morrison & Sawers Lawyers, women lead the way in creating a workplace where colleagues support each other and thrive, both personally and professionally.

With five female directors and a team made up primarily of women, the firm has cultivated a culture that values flexibility, work-life balance and long-term commitment.

Policies reflect the changing needs of staff, encouraging a healthy work-life balance with no expectation to work

beyond 5pm and the option to adjust hours around family responsibilities. In recent years, this has included supporting parents returning from leave on part-time arrangements..

This supportive environment translates directly into the service clients receive. Staff who feel balanced and valued bring focus, clarity and care to every case, ensuring consistently high standards.

The strength of this culture is evident in the team’s loyalty. Most employees have been with Morrison &

Sawers for more than five years, with over a third serving for more than a decade. Earlier this year, Director Robyn Curtis and Conveyancing Clerk Penny Newman each marked an extraordinary 40 years with the firm, which been serving in the community since 1880.

Baking awardwinning treats BEING one of the most renowned bakeries in Australia doesn’t happen by chance.

It takes passionate and committed owners and a team of dedicated staff to create award-winning baked goods.

The list of awards won by North End Bakehouse (NEB) are almost too numerous to count, and none of it could have been achieved without the passion and drive of Co-owner Shekiah ‘Kiah’ Aylett and store manager Cass Clark.

Kiah, along with husband Matt, opened North End Bakehouse in 2014 after years of baking experience that began when she was an apprentice at age 16. At 20, Kiah started her own cake decorating

business, Get Caked, before closing her business to focus on NEB, holding down every position required over the years.

Cass came to NEB in 2023 after years in hospitality, starting in customer service and quickly working up to the position of store manager and leading the team.

The female-led team at NEB are a big part of the reason they have continued to win awards, including best hot cross bun and vanilla slice on multiple occasions.

“Being a woman and being in business for so many years now you learn to rely on the team you have built up around you. You learn that you can’t do it all! (and sometimes that’s what puts us ahead of the males haha),” said Kiah.

The well way to support the community THE mental health space can be complex to navigate and requires a varied approach to offer the best support to people on their recovery journey.

The Wellways-led Mental Health and Wellbeing Local in Greater Shepparton, Strathbogie and Moira in partnership with APMHA and GV Health, strive to offer the best supports available for local people, with the understanding that everyone's needs are different.

Sally Whitelaw is Mental Health and Wellbeing Local, Operations Manager located in Shepparton. She oversees the day-to-day operations of the service and supports the realisation of ideas and innovations around

what's possible and encourages the team to be our best selves. “We have a big team of people of different cultures, different experiences, and different skills. So, it's about bringing out the best in each other at work, and the other aspect of my role, I suppose, is to work closely with our consortium partners,” said Sally.

General Manager Reform and Implementation at Wellways, Cat Hunt, looks after six Wellways-led Mental Health and Wellbeing Local services across Victoria, including the amazing team in Shepparton.

“It's different to a traditional mental health service where a clinician or a practitioner tells you what your recovery journey looks like. We give

the power back to the person, and they choose what their recovery journey looks like,” said Cat. Support and Connect Team Leader Hayley Clarke, employed by GV Health, supports the wellbeing navigator peers who all have a lived experience of mental health or substance recovery. The team walk alongside people supporting them throughout their journey with the service.

“My job as the team leader for the peers is supporting them. Having the lived experience

and working in the peer space can be challenging at times, so being there for them and supporting them and making sure that they're okay and that they can work the best with the participants to support them,” Hayley.

APMHA Clinical Team Leader, Renae Durward, supports a multidisciplinary team. “I feel fortunate to work in a space that supports participants with co-occurring mental health and substance needs while helping to break down stigma—it’s deeply fulfilling,” said Renae.

ROUND UP SEPTEMBER 2025

Will Dhurringile’s next chapter be its brightest yet?

We can’t do this alone.

The aim is to ensure Dhurringile isn’t locked away from the public, and that its history and potential benefits aren’t lost DGV Chair Eugenie Stragalinos

continued from front page

SHEPPARTON CRASH CHARGE Shepparton Highway Patrol officers have charged a man following a crash in Kialla earlier this year.

Emergency services were called to reports a Holden utility crashed into a light pole before striking multiple trees along the Goulburn Valley Highway near Riverview Drive at about 11.15pm on July 3.

The driver of the Holden, an 18-year-old Mickleham man, was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

His passengers, a 19-year-old Shepparton man and a 19-year-old Shepparton woman, were both taken to hospital with serious injuries.

The 18-year-old man has since been charged with 11 offences, including: • (x 2) negligently cause serious injury • (x 2) dangerous driving causing serious injury • reckless conduct endangering life • endangering persons • exceed prescribed concentration of drugs • drive speed dangerous • driving or using an unregistered motor vehicle • fail to ensure passenger occupy seat/ seatbelt.

He was bailed to appear before Shepparton Magistrates’ Court on August 29.

“WE’VE had meetings with some potential investors, both in general tourism investors as well as equestrian investors…what that might look like for the future,” said Ms Stragalinos.

The estate, a 64-room mansion on 286 hectares, has had many lives — from pastoral estate to internment camp, boys’ home, and minimum-security prison. DGV’s vision includes accommodation that caters to both workforce needs and luxury markets, camping and picnic grounds, historical tours, event spaces, and a National Equestrian Centre to attract regional and interstate visitors.

“We can’t do this alone. The aim is to ensure Dhurringile isn’t locked away from the public, and that its history and potential benefits aren’t lost,” said Ms Straglinos.

A key focus is raising funds to complete a master plan and business case. “We’re seeking between $50,000 and $100,000 to engage experts who can help us design the site in a way that respects its history while supporting accommodation, equestrian activities, and visitor economy growth,” Ms Stragalinos said.

DGV is encouraging the community to get involved.

Supporters can sign up for newsletters, contribute financially, and help maintain momentum for what Ms Stragalinos calls a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to revitalise one of the region’s most significant heritage sites.

For more information or to support the project, visit destinationgoulburnvalley.com.au.

End the stigma

END OVERDOES... Primary Care Connect (PCC) held its third annual End Overdose event to help end the stigma attached to overdose, as well as provide a safe and nurturing space for people to remember, honour and mourn their loved ones lost to overdose.

Photo: Aaron Cordy

By Aaron Cordy THERE have been 2,000 fatal overdoses in Australia for the 10th year in a row. In 2023, 2,272 lost their lives to drugs, significantly more than the 1,315 who tragically lost their lives on Australian roads.

The visceral impact of a car crash is hard to ignore, so receives the deserved national attention, but the silent loss of life due to overdoses is much easier to gloss over, despite the devastating number of Australians taken each year.

Tuesday, August 26, Primary Care Connect held its third annual End Overdose event to help end the stigma attached to overdose, as well as provide a safe and nurturing space for people to remember, honour and mourn their loved ones lost to overdose.

Page 22 – The Adviser Australia No.1:1780 Wednesday, September 3, 2025

Over 70 community members, service providers and stakeholders attended the event, held in conjunction with International Overdose Awareness Day, which is observed on August 31 globally each year.

Shara Scott, Media and Communications Coordinator for Primary Care Connect and founder of the event in 2023, was pleased with the support received from the community.

“Our End Overdose event has grown year on year since its inception, and we are so proud and happy that it has resonated with community so much. This year we saw a big increase in the numbers of community members coming along to leave a tribute and honour their loved ones. It’s also a perfect opportunity for connection between service providers,” said Shara.

THE STAT THAT WILL FORECAST THE 2025 BROWNLOW MEDAL WINNER JAIDEN SCIBERRAS/SEN

FOR over a decade, one specific stat has forecast the Brownlow Medal winner without fail.

Since 2008, the winner of the AFL’s most coveted individual award has featured within the top six of one major stat – contested possessions.

The inside bulls are consistently polling big numbers on Brownlow night, and given they frequently operate right under the umpires’ noses, it comes as no surprise.

In 2024, Patrick Cripps broke the all-time record, accumulating a ridiculous 45 Brownlow votes to take home his second Charlie and claim the best ever tally in the game’s history.

Looking into the numbers with contested possessions in mind, it starts to make sense.

Across the 2024 season, Blues captain Cripps was awarded three votes 12 times. In only three of those 12, Cripps did not lead the game for total contested possessions, and two of those three were Carlton wins.

In eight of those games, Cripps led the game for contested possessions in a Carlton win, while in one game, Cripps led the contested possessions in a loss.

Just once, Cripps was awarded three votes having lost the game and the contested possession count – a three-point loss to the Pies in which he managed 30 disposals, 15 contested, seven clearances and a goal.

History has proved time and time again that the stat carries significant weight on the night of all nights.

See the top six contested possession getters from 2024 and 2023: 2024

YEAR - PLAYER - CP RANK - TOTAL CPs

2024 –P.Cripps (1st – 360) 2023 – L.Neale (3rd – 319) 2022 - P.Cripps (4th - 322) 2021 - O.Wines (2nd - 354) 2020 - L.Neale (1st - 247) 2019 - N.Fyfe (3rd - 351) 2018 - T.Mitchell (2nd - 389) 2017 - D.Martin (2nd - 363)

2016 - P.Dangerfield (2nd - 388) 2015 - N.Fyfe (3rd - 356) 2014 - M.Priddis (3rd - 330) 2013 - G.Ablett (3rd - 313) 2012 - S.Mitchell (7th - 300) & T.Cotchin (19th - 273) + J.Watson (4th - 316) 2011 - D.Swan (6th - 307) 2010 - C.Judd (5th - 245) 2009 - G.Ablett (1st - 295) 2008 - A.Cooney (4th - 251) The 2025 top six

Given the numbers, the 2025 top

six contested possession winners may have a significantly heightened chance of claiming the Brownlow Medal.

The top six may read a little different to the current Brownlow Medal odds, via Sportsbet.

Could 2025 break the long-running streak?

Tom Green - 339 ($51.00) Caleb Serong - 325 ($67.00) Matt Rowell - 319 ($8.00) Max Gawn - 311 ($151.00) George Hewett - 305 ($501.00) Patrick Cripps - 296 ($501.00)
