Little miracles
I was reminded the other day that little things can sometimes make a big difference. People in management roles can easily get caught up in a world of incomings and outgoings, training needs, catering supplies, wage and salary costs and all manner of other ‘big issues’ that need to be considered to keep providing services in a way that will be effective and sustainable. All critically important, of course, but I was reminded the other day that some other things are important too when I was invited along to a special morning tea at our Banksia Lodge aged care home in Kialla. Through the fundraising generosity of residents of the neighbouring Kialla Gardens village, a beautiful water feature has just been installed in an outdoor courtyard of Banksia Lodge, and residents of both locations came along to admire it. You only needed to stand in front of it for a few moments, watch the soothing flow of water and hear its gentle tinkling sounds, to be transported to a world far removed from spreadsheets and regulations and compliance and the like. An almost miraculous world of serenity and calm. Someone at the event remarked on how much good this small addition to the courtyard will do for people’s spirits in the coming decade or so. And that’s true. It will make a contribution that’s hard to quantify–very real but at the same time elusive to the hard-edged tools of accountancy and administration. What value can you place on a few moments of tranquility and quiet contemplation sitting in the presence of gently flowing water? It’s quite priceless really. Thanks to the kindness and generosity of our Kialla Gardens residents, we’ve had a timely reminder that little things, simple things, can sometimes make a very worthwhile difference. All credit to those who have made it happen. Find out more: www.sheppvillages.com.au Or call: (03) 5832 0800 Mon to Fri - 9am to 5pm

Growing with purpose.
By Natasha Fujimoto RARELY does an individual emerge who genuinely inspires others to do better—and by better, to truly believe that whatever the mind determines, it can achieve. Aunty Pam Pedersen OAM requires no introduction. The youngest daughter of Sir Douglas and Lady Gladys Nicholls, Aunty Pam is a deeply respected Yorta Yorta Elder whose contributions to our community are both extraordinary and enduring. Her exceptional work across the Koorie Courts (Children’s, County and Magistrates’ Courts), the Adult Parole Board, the Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service, the AttorneyGeneral’s Office, and education spaces has been matched only by her unwavering commitment to social justice, advocacy and community. Yet, it is her passion for sport that we now turn. Ardently believing that sport is a powerful vehicle for overcoming self-doubt, the 83-year-old Aunty Pam initially turned her determined spirit toward getting fit at the age of 50. What began as a personal health journey soon transformed into an altruistic mission, utilising her platform to deliver a vital message, encouraging community members to take their health and well-being seriously through regular exercise, healthy diets, and active social interaction. Beginning with walking before progressing to half-marathons and triathlons, it wasn't long before Aunty Pam accumulated a remarkable array of sporting achievements. She completed her first marathon at age 58. More recently, she celebrated her 29th consecutive Mother’s
Day Classic event by completing her first-ever Mother’s Day Classic Half-Marathon—never having missed a single year since the inaugural event was held in 1998. Unstoppable despite recent injuries and illness, Aunty Pam once again lined up at the starting line, this time for Saturday's 10-Kilometre Nike Melbourne Marathon. The race marked the latest chapter in a remarkable sporting journey built on determination, resilience, and the firm belief that age should never be a barrier to achievement. In preparation for the event, she dedicated the past 10 weeks to training three times a week. "I think it’s a really good motto: if you dream it, you can achieve it," she said. "When you think about good things and what you want to do, if you dream it, you can achieve it." Today, her passion for sport remains closely linked to this message of collective wellbeing. Running, however, is only half of her extraordinary sporting story; Aunty Pam has also conquered the open ocean, competing in offshore yacht races and notably winning the 1996 Melbourne to Devonport race aboard the yacht Stiletto. Whether navigating the seas or the pavement, her ultimate goal is to inspire others to get moving alongside her. She wants people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds to get active, whether that starts with a walk around the block or training for a major event. "What I would like to see is people of all ages, all colour, all different nationalities get out of bed and walk and look after themselves and feel healthy," she said.
WE LISTEN mental health walk By Aaron Cordy WE LISTEN will again hold its Mental Health Walk on Saturday, November 22, at Victoria Park Lake, Shepparton. This year, they are doing it a little differently. This year, WE LISTEN is raising money for the Pollymay Fundraiser. Mooroopna local Pollymay, has been diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia and has required extensive treatment at the Royal Children's Hospital. Pollymay and her mother have been at the Royal Children's Hospital since Pollymay was airlifted by air ambulance on 10 April 2026. Polly’s family was also dealing with the devastating loss of her older sister. The family has been dealing with the grief
associated with the loss of their daughter while simultaneously facing the uncertainty, stress and emotional and financial pressures associated with their young daughter's serious illness and ongoing treatment, which is why WE LISTEN hopes people can come and support Polly and her family in November. WE LISTEN Mental Health & Suicide Prevention Walk and Pollymay Family Day will be held at Victoria Park Lake on Saturday, November 22, from 12pm to 4pm. For more information about W E LISTEN, you can follow them on Facebook or call Steven ‘Neffy’ Neff on 0400 314 858.

Today has happened because people like Wendy Lovell, Kim O'Keeffe, Shane Sali have been fighting for this for years.” GV Health is Victoria’s only major regional public health service without a fully integrated cancer centre.

Director of GV Health Foundation and Fundraising, Amy De Paola, is one of many locals who knows how important it is to fund and complete Stage 2 GV Health Integrated Cancer Centre, no matter who wins the November state election. “It’s the simple things, and I continuously say it, but driving to Melbourne and finding a car park is just a level of anxiety for cancer patients that is overwhelming at the time of going through treatment.

FRUIT FL COMMU UPDATE
NEWS
Growers warn of rising Fruit Fly numbers across the GMV
The importanc of post harves hygiene
THE Goulburn Murray Valley Fruit Fly Coordinator Ross Abberfield has cited fruit fly is the world’s worst fruit pest and believes it can impact the supply of fresh fruit and vegetables in Australia if not managed effectively. “Food security is a national policy priority of the Australian Government and the GMV supplies Australia with 81 per cent of its pears, 76 per cent of its peaches and nectarines, 66 per cent of its Kiwi Fruit, 56 per cent of its apricots, 51 per cent of its plums, 50 per cent of its pomegranates, 46 per cent of its apples and the bulk of its tomatoes. The GMV is the horticultural engine-room of Victoria and risk’s being unable to supply Australians with Australian produce if fruit fly is not managed effectively. Victoria's food security is not simply about supporting growers, it’s about engaging and educating private and public landowners to take responsibility for managing fruit fly breeding habitat on the land that they own. Fruit and vegetable growers effectively manage fruit fly on their properties, but they have no control over unmanaged fruit trees in back yards, along roadsides, channels, railway lines, reserves, parks, and water catchment areas. Unmanaged breeding habitat in these areas can severely impact commercial fruit and vegetable growers as well as the quality and reputation of our horticultural produce. Safeguarding our food supply should be the highest priority of State and Federal governments. Proactive management can protect our lifestyle, regional economies, jobs, and fruit export markets. Effective Area Wide Management of fruit fly will ensure that future generations can continue

E T A D P U R E B O T OC Summary
This is the first Queensland fruit fly (Qfly) report for the Goulburn Murray Valley’s (GMV) 2026-27 fruit fly season. Currently, 307 male-targeting fruit fly traps are monitoring the onset, continuation and expansion of Qfly in the GMV. Rural, urban and peri-urban sites are present in the four GMV Shires: Greater Shepparton, Moira, Campaspe and Strathbogie. Traps are being checked weekly and counts of fruit flies in each trap are recorded and analysed monthly. Most of the Goulburn Murray Valley’s commercial horticultural crops are currently too immature to be attacked by adult Qfly. However, temperatures are rising and overwintering adult Qfly are moving out of their winter refuges into the wider community, especially throughout comparatively warm and moist urban areas. Any ripening or ripe fruit hanging on trees or growing in home gardens is now vulnerable to attack by mature adult Qfly. Whilst there are no large volumes of fruit available, backyard gardens are especially prone to attack by Qfly at this time of year. Urban gardens provide food and refuge for fruit fly populations that persist through summer and autumn before migrating into commercial crops as harvest approaches.
Action
Make sure there is no unwanted ripe fruit hanging in trees, and no untended fruit in weedy patches
of land or on the ground. Pick up and destroy unwanted fruit so that adult flies emerging from their winter refuges cannot infest it and contribute to this season’s Qfly population pressure.

This means that commercial fruit and vegetable growing operations located close to urban areas are at an elevated risk of fruit fly pressure as harvest approaches. If you have an orchard near any of the listed Hot Spot locations, please ensure that any nearby unwanted fruiting plants are managed for fruit fly – they may be in your own backyard, in your neighbours’ property, along roadsides, creeks, channel banks or other public land – if you can’t manage them, perhaps you can remove them or report them to the landowner.
The GMV Fruit Fly Area Wide Management Program is supported by the Victorian Government.

Ground broken on housing for Shepparton’s vulnerable By Aaron Cordy
SOD-TURNING... A major new community housing development, is underway in Shepparton, with construction commencing on 41 new homes for people and families who have face some of the greatest barriers to securing suitable housing. Pictured from left are CCV Housing Board Chair John Murphy, CCV CEO Agnes Sheehan, Senator Jana Stewart and CCV Housing CEO Darren Shultz. Photo: Aaron Cordy
THE demand for safe and secure housing in Greater Shepparton has never been more critical. In a 2025 government analysis of Shepparton and the Greater Goulburn Valley area, it was estimated that over 4,000 social housing was needed. Of them, 2,719 were considered priority access. In a much-needed relief to people living rough, CatholicCare Victoria Housing broke ground on 41 new homes for vulnerable people and families at Hoskin Shepparton on Tuesday, October 6. “Here in Shepparton, the demand for safe, secure, and social housing across Greater Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley region is very significant. These new one and two-
bedroom homes will provide much-needed housing for people who face some of the greatest barriers to find a suitable home,” said CatholicCare Victoria CEO Agnes Sheehan. The development, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2028, will provide homes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, women who are sole parents and children impacted by domestic and family violence, older women at risk of homelessness, veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and families with children reliant on JobSeeker. Senator Jana Stewart was on site for the sod-turning. “Our government is invested in building social and affordable homes right across the country. And as somebody who grew up in

regional Victoria, it's great to see investment come to regional centres and towns,” said Ms Stewart. "I'm somebody who grew up in social housing. I know the difference that these homes can make to families doing it tough. It gives kids the very best chance to succeed in life when you've got a safe and secure roof over your head, and that makes all the difference for a kid.” CatholicCare Victoria Housing’s Shepparton site is part of a larger project that includes Tatura, which is already under construction. Over the past five years, they have built more than 400 homes across regional Victoria. 152 homes are already occupied, including 20 new homes welcoming residents last week.

Agricultural Show is an incredible milestone,” he said. “While in Canberra earlier this year, I personally invited Her Excellency to join our community for the celebrations.” He said the show represented the best of the region, from its agricultural industry to the volunteers who make the event possible each year. “I wanted Her Excellency to see those strengths and join us in recognising the contribution the show has made to our community over the last 150 years,” he said. Following the official proceedings, VIPs and guests attended a refreshment break before assembling for the ‘Showdown at the Show’, featuring local Members of Parliament and invited community leaders. The Governor-General said she was pleased to accept the invitation to visit Greater Shepparton and celebrate the milestone with the community. The visit formed part of Her Excellency’s regional program, which also included the Munarra Centre for Regional Excellence and the Strathbogie Ranges communities worst affected by the catastrophic fires that burned last summer.

Exhibition celebrates 50 years of people power for the ABC By Maddison Howell A protest by just five people against cuts to the ABC’s budget in 1976 sparked a grassroots movement that has since grown into a national network of more than 80,000 supporters. Recently, ABC Friends has marked its milestone 50th anniversary, half a century of fighting to protect Australia’s public broadcaster, and a special exhibition is displayed in Shepparton through a multimedia exhibition documenting five decades of community advocacy. This exhibition brings together a collection of campaign materials, vintage stickers, faxes, newsletters and other memorabilia that had been gathering dust in a Melbourne storeroom. What was nearly lost to time has now become a record of how ordinary Australians have campaigned, lobbied politicians and rallied to defend and affirm the ABC’s place in Australian life. For Dr Jennifer Bowen, discovering the collection was like uncovering a treasure trove of media history, with the material revealing how the movement has evolved alongside the broadcaster it fights to protect. “Since 1976, ABC Friends has shown how much the ABC is valued by the community – for its companionship to audiences, its children’s programs, its music, sport and emergency broadcasts, and news that is consistently voted the most trusted in Australia,” Dr Bowen said. “50 years is a long time, and throughout that time there have been Friends of the ABC groups all across Australia promoting the same set of ideas that the ABC is supporting Australians in many ways.” “We all have a connection from our childhood to the ABC, it’s something that knits together Australian lives, and that’s worth protecting,” she explained. Today, ABC Friends says it has more than 80,000 members and supporters across Australia, using social media and other channels to keep the public informed about media policy and the importance of an independent broadcaster. This exhibition will be available to view at the Goulburn Valley Regional Library from the 1st to the 21st of October. The Adviser. Australia No.1:1836 Wednesday, October 14, 2026 – Page 11

HOW much water does your household use each day? Most Victorians use an average of 169 litres per person, and while that might not sound like much, it can quickly add up across the home. To help locals discover simple ways to save water, Goulburn Valley Water (GVW) is opening the doors to The Blue House during National Water Week this October. Building on the success of last year's Let's Grow Waterwise Gardens event, The Blue House takes the conversation beyond the backyard and into the home. Visitors will be able to walk through interactive kitchen, laundry, bathroom and garden displays, picking up practical tips and water-saving ideas along the way. GVW General Manager Customers and Growth Jonno Bellette said water security remains one of the region's biggest challenges, making everyday water-saving habits more
important than ever. "The Blue House has been designed to bring water-saving ideas to life. Visitors can explore every room, discover simple changes that can make a real difference and learn how every litre saved contributes to the future of our region," Mr Bellette said. The free, family-friendly experience will feature hands-on activities, educational d i spl ay s , g u e s t sp e a ke r s a nd l ive demonstrations. GVW staff will also be available to answer questions about water use, efficiency programs and customer services. The Blue House will be open from Monday, October 19 to Saturday, October 24 at 18-20 Fraser Street, Shepparton (formerly Intersport in the Maude Street Mall). Further details, including opening hours and a program of activities, will be announced closer to the event.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION... The final chapter of secondary school is drawing to a close for the GSSC class of 2026. The students leave behind a chapter filled with memories, friendships and achievements, ready to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. Photo: Supplied
GSSC celebrates the class of 2026 FOR Greater Shepparton Secondary College’s (GSSC) Class of 2026, the final chapter of secondary school is drawing to a close – marking the end of a year shaped by friendship, diversity, school spirit and shared experiences. As graduation approaches, GSSC’s 2026 College Captains reflected on the memories they will take with them, what has made their cohort special and the advice they would leave for students following in their footsteps. For Zoey Prior, it is the sense of belonging at GSSC that she will remember most.
“The thing I will remember most from my time at GSSC is how welcoming and inclusive the teachers and students were,” Zoey said. “There was always someone to help me when I needed it.” That sense of belonging is also something Hadia Mirza will carry with her beyond GSSC. “I will always keep all the amazing friendships I made close to my heart, and the diversity this school opened my eyes to,” Hadia said. For Ella Wanjohi, the spirit shown by the Class of 2026 has been a highlight.
“From dressing up on theme every day of Spirit Week to wearing our costumes at the athletics and swimming carnivals, we all showed up for each other and put in the effort to really make school events successful,” Ella said. The captains also encouraged younger students to embrace opportunities and make the most of their time at GSSC. “Give everything a go, no matter what,” Zoey said, while Hadia encouraged students to “talk to each other and cherish your friendships”, with Ella adding that “the school is an amazing way to
explore your interests and discover your talents”. As the Class of 2026 looks ahead to life beyond secondary school, Ella shared a final message with her graduating cohort. “It’s been a long couple of years, but we finally made it. Take a well-earned break and be proud of everything you’ve achieved.” As the Class of 2026 prepares to farewell GSSC, students leave behind a chapter filled with memories, friendships and achievements, ready to embrace the opportunities that lie ahead.

Bus review welcome, says O’Keeffe NATIONALS Member for Shepparton Kim O'Keeffe has welcomed the announcement of a public bus transport review, describing it as a long-overdue step for Greater Shepparton and surrounding communities. Ms O'Keeffe said she had advocated in Parliament for
a review over the past four years alongside community members and stakeholders, arguing the region had been disadvantaged by inadequate bus services. She said the last review was conducted in 2009 and failed to reflect the area's significant population growth, new housing
developments and changing transport needs. Ms O'Keeffe said some areas had limited or no public bus services and that improved transport connections were essential for residents, businesses and neighbouring towns. She said a comprehensive review was needed to ensure

A cuppa, a conversation and a community that cares By Maddison Howell A Mooroopna morning tea will honour a loved one while bringing together people affected by breast cancer for a few hours of connection and support. Organised through Whispering Truths 7, the Pink Ribbon Morning Tea will be held at the Mooroopna Education & Activity Centre (MEAC) in support of the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s Pink Ribbon Breakfast initiative. For organiser Santhiya, these gatherings carry personal significance, following the recent death of a loved one. “I have attributed this event to my cousin Thashaini who passed away a couple of months ago,” Santhiya said. The event follows a similar gathering Santhiya hosted at MEAC in 2024, where she saw the
value of bringing community members together. “I hosted a similar event in 2024 at MEAC and found that my fellow community members were really appreciative to have that space to connect and just have a conversation,” she said. The morning tea will welcome current and former breast cancer patients and survivors, alongside their families, friends, carers and other community members who wish to attend. Santhiya hopes that this gathering will offer people an opportunity to step away from their daily routines and spend time in a welcoming environment. “I want people to feel like they can come to this event and have a cup of tea and a chat, just letting people know that there is a space for them is important,” she said. She also believes more community-led events could help encourage conversations surrounding

health and strengthen local support networks within this space. “I think creating these community spaces for health within our community is really important and I do think there needs to be more events like this and bringing that awareness and support to our community,” she said. “What matters most to me is that people who
are affected by breast cancer can feel supported by this event, and if it makes them feel better for a couple of hours, I think that is the whole point”. The Pink Ribbon Morning Tea will be held at MEAC on October 24 at 10 am, with entry free and no obligation to donate, all members of the community are welcome to come along and connect.

THE POWER OF HERITAGE AND PERFORMANCE...For Martin Riseley of Heywoods Shepparton Motor Panel, climbing behind the wheel of his 1964 Ford Mustang coupe in the Touring Car Masters Pro Sport class has reignited a passion first sparked during his Formula V racing days almost a decade ago. Competing in last week’s Touring Car Masters Grand Finale at Bathurst, Riseley faced a strong 34-car field and an intense Trans-Tasman rivalry at Mount Panorama. Despite the challenge, he enjoyed a consistent and trouble-free weekend, finishing 22nd outright and claiming fifth place in the Pro Sport class. Photos: Supplied

unmistakable scent and sound of vintage carburetion. Raw, guttural and unequivocally powerful, it is a spectacle that stirs the senses and captures the enduring spirit of classic touring car racing. Few understand that appeal better than Martin Riseley of Heywoods Shepparton Motor Panel. Well versed in all things mechanical and automotive, Martin reignited his passion for motorsport last year when, after a lengthy hiatus from racing Formula V, he climbed behind the wheel of his 1964 Ford Mustang coupe to compete in the Touring Car Masters Pro Sport class. The #29 Mustang is far more than a nostalgic throwback for Martin. Powered by a 302ci Windsor V8 producing around 600 rearwheel horsepower and revving to 8,000rpm, the car can approach 300km/h down Bathurst's famed Conrod Straight. While it retains the unmistakable look and character of a classic V8 touring car, modern engineering and technology allow it to perform at speeds its original designers could scarcely have imagined. Now in his second season of Touring Car Masters competition, Martin has enjoyed a string of strong performances, including a Pro Sport round victory at Tasmania's Symmons Plains Raceway. Heading into the season finale at Bathurst, he sat fifth in the championship standings on 354 points, just two points behind fourth-placed Rod Cannon, with everything still to race for. For Martin, the attraction of Touring Car Masters lies in its unique blend of heritage and performance.
"The cars still have that sound, character and feel, but modern TCM machinery is quicker than the original cars thanks to today's technology and engineering," he said. "That mix of nostalgia and performance is a big part of what makes the category so compelling." The Bathurst TCM Grand Finale, held from October 8 to 11, featured a massive 34-car field and a fierce Trans-Tasman rivalry, with a contingent of competitors from New Zealand crossing the Tasman to challenge their Australian counterparts. Martin enjoyed a consistent and troublefree weekend at Mount Panorama, steering clear of the multi-car incidents that plagued several competitors throughout the meeting. In the Trophy Race, he finished 22nd outright and fifth in the Pro Sport class, completing seven laps in 22:36.924 and setting his quickest lap of the weekend with a 2:32.306. He followed that with a 26th-place finish in Race 1, crossing the line after six laps in 20:52.657, while also recording his best time of 2:27 on Lap 7 of the final race. While the results did not yield a podium f i n i sh , br i ng i ng t he #2 9 H ey wood s Shepparton Motor Panel Ford Mustang Coupe home in one piece on Australia's most demanding circuit was an achievement in itself. The solid Bathurst performance capped another competitive season for Martin, who proudly represented both his Sheppartonbased business and the wider Goulburn Valley on one of Australian motorsport's biggest stages.
