Winter foreshore dog regulations return DOGS are allowed more exercise time on Kingston’s beaches under winter foreshore restrictions in place until 31 October. Owners are reminded that all dogs must be on leash until they reach the sand area and must remain under effective control at all times. Under winter rules, dogs must be on leash 11am-3pm at Mentone, Parkdale and Mordialloc (Plummer Rd, Mentone to Bay St, Mordialloc) and Aspendale, Edithvale, Chelsea, Bonbeach and Carrum (Mordialloc Creek to McLeod Rd, Carrum). The 24-hour dog off-leash beaches are still active at: Mentone (the northern end of the beach from Charman Rd to Plummer Rd) and Carrum (the southern end of the beach from Old Post Office Lane to Osprey Lane). Dogs are not permitted in the ‘No-dog zone’ between Bay St and Mordialloc Pier. This zone includes the sand, foreshore reserve and the Peter Scullin Reserve. The council reminds dog owners that they must carry a plastic or paper bag to pick up after their pet at all times while they are out and about. Those who cannot produce a bag when requested by an authorised officer, or who fail to pick up after their dog, could face an onthe-spot fine of $152.

Exhibition showcases dark, emotive dreamscapes ÉCUME Gallery in Aspendale will host Participation Mystique, the latest exhibition by NY based photojournalist and filmmaker Tim Georgeson. The gallery’s first solo exhibition – and Georgeson’s first in Melbourne – will run Friday 8 to Friday 22 April. The opening night event on Friday will run 7-9pm. Born in Sydney, Georgeson has a permanent collection at The National Portrait Gallery of Australia, Canberra, and has won numerous awards, including World Press Photo, Leica, Cannes, and New York Festival. Écume gallery, which opened in November, offers an intimate and engaging space for Bayside residents to taste established and emerging art. Écume Gallery CEO and Curator Boe Sapun said Participation Mystique uses dark,
emotive dreamscapes to invite viewers to explore their subconscious and embrace the visceral and intangible moments that define human togetherness. “Georgeson is inspired by finding the truth in art. He transports us to different lands, cultures, colours and people, while tapping into a universal feeling that is intrinsically familiar and raw,â€? she said. The exhibition is a combination of moody and evocative prints, and marks the premiere of the Participation Mystique film and sound installation. Écume Gallery is at 106 Nepean Hwy, Aspendale, visit ecumegallery.com.au Intimate and engaging: A still from Participation Mystique, 2016 film and sound installation.
