Planning panel to assess height limits Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au A PLANNING panel is expected to consider the appropriateness of proposed 16-storey height limits in Frankston’s city centre. Frankston Council’s metropolitan activity centre structure plan has been in the works throughout this council term. The plan outlines new “preferred” height limits of up to 16 storeys, or 54 metres, in Frankston’s city centre. The limits can be exceeded at
council’s discretion. The FMAC structure plan was authorised by planning minister Sonya Kilkenny last month. Council has now outlined the final steps it will take to implement it. The planning scheme amendment is being exhibited until 18 December - submissions from the public can be made during this time. It will then go before a council meeting in February before a planning panel directions hearing on 18 March. A planning panel hearing will then take place on 13 May. The planning panel is appointed by
the state government. Council is not bound to act on the panel’s findings. After the panel process concludes, council will send the planning scheme amendment to the planning minister for final approval. In the meantime, interim 12-storey limits apply near Kananook Creek. The interim controls cover the area bordered by Nepean Highway, Beach Street, Wells Street, and Kananook Creek Boulevard - the controls are active until 24 April, 2025. The new controls will be tested at the Victorian Civil and Administrative
Tribunal imminently. Proposals for a 16-storey building at 438-444 Nepean Highway and a 14-storey building at 446-450 Nepean Highway will be decided by VCAT. On Tuesday, a practice day hearing will take place at VCAT for the 446450 Nepean Highway plan. After implementing the interim controls, a statement from the state government read “revised interim building controls have been put in place, allowing for the proposed permanent controls to proceed through the amendment process, including public consul-
tation, without the risk of inconsistent development occurring in the interim period. The interim controls include preferred building heights of up to 12 storeys, ground and upper-level setbacks, solar access, design details, activation, access and pedestrian links” (“Higher height limits approved” The Times 30/10/23). The new interim height limits replaced an interim three-storey height limit implemented earlier in the year.

Award for helping families in need A CHARITY supporting families in crisis won the outstanding volunteer organisation award at last week’s Impact Volunteering awards in Frankston. Mums Supporting Families in Need won the top $1000 prize. In 2021/2022, the organisation helped 4500 people keep their families fed and safe. It provides families with nursery essentials, clothing, linen, toiletries, and food. The “leadership award” handed out on the evening went to Alastair Leaver from Mums Supporting Families in Need. He has helped improve volunteering numbers at the organisation by about 60 percent. The service to community award went to Nancy Martin from Ebdale Community Hub. The youth award was won by Zoe Tokalahi from Frankston North Community Centre Playgroup, and the initiative award was won by Jaqui O’Leary from 3198 Seaford Beach Patrol. The teamwork award was given to the Frankston North Community Centre Cafe. Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy said “we are privileged to have over 16,800 volunteers in Frankston City, who contribute more than 46,000 hours of their time each and every year to our community. It’s a remarkable contribution that is equal to $1.3 million worth of donated time annually - a contribution that I and council applaud, recognise, and deeply appreciate. The inspirational people we’re recognising are dedicated to supporting others in need over a long period of time.”

Safety award for apprentice A FRANKSTON North apprentice had a big win at this year’s Apprentice Training Awards. Chloe Trivett-Keevers was nominated in the Stop Taking A Risk category. The award is for people who uphold safety standards in the industry. Last week she won the STAR award. Trivett-Keevers is a year into her Certificate IV in Work Health and Safety. Trivett-Keevers accepted the award at an event on 22 November at the Plaza Ballroom. The event is hosted by the Apprentice Employment Network. A post on its LinkedIn page read “congratulations to all the winners tonight, and to the finalists. You are all winners in your own right, and your dedication to apprenticeships and traineeships is not only rewarded tonight, but the greater reward is the lifelong career you are paving the way for through your efforts.”

SES survives Pool turns tide grant cut plan

Cash for veteran support MORE than $700,000 of taxpayer money will be spent on upgrades at Frankston RSL. The federal government has committed a little more than $721,000 to RSL Victoria to spend on the uplift of existing hub infrastructure at Frankston RSL. The money was awarded through the veteran wellbeing grants one-off program. Dunkley MP Peta Murphy
said the money would support more than 3000 veterans living in her electorate. “Dunkley is home to a significant veteran community, and this grant will improve access to local services and supports,” Murphy said. “Frankston RSL has been delivering for veterans’ in our local community, and I’m pleased to be a part of a government that is supporting their work.”
Veterans affairs minister Matt Keogh said the grant program “supports larger projects that can be implemented quickly to deliver the services that veterans and families need, in the areas they need it most.” “The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide has made it clear there is no time to waste in improving services and supports to the veteran community,” he said.
A KINGSTON Council plan to cut annual grants for the Chelsea and Moorabbin SES units has been stopped. Kingston Council’s grant policy and guidelines have been under review this year. Its new policy came to council for final approval at a meeting on Monday. At the same time, council officers recommended that a “staged funding reduction” should start for some recipients of 2021-2024 partnership grants. The Times understands that Chelsea SES and Moorabbin SES were two of the organisations proposed to be affected by the cuts. At a meeting on 20 November councillors voted to continue providing money to the SES until 2027. Dozens of SES volunteers in orange uniforms packed the Kingston Council gallery at the meeting (pictured below) to show support. Chelsea SES controller Ron Fitch said “this is a fantastic result, not only for our SES volunteers, but for the entire community within the City of Kingston. We look forward to the promised consultation with council for the ongoing funding of our SES unit.” Kingston councillors have agreed to consult with the SES to discuss funding options after 2027, and to write to the state government advocating for increased support.

PENINSULA Leisure turned a profit in the last financial year. Peninsula Leisure operates the PARC and Pines Pool facilities. It is owned by Frankston Council, but operates independently of it. After navigating the tricky financial landscape of COVID-19, the pool operator posted a $355,695 surplus for the 2022/2023 financial year. In 2021/2022 it recorded a deficit of a little more than $770,000. Frankston Council made a cash contribution of $500,000 to Peninsula Leisure to support its pandemic recovery last financial year.
Deputy mayor decided AFTER a five-day delay, Frankston councillors have chosen their deputy mayor for the 2023/2024 term. Liam Hughes was re-elected to the role at Frankston Council’s Monday meeting. He also served as deputy mayor between 2022 and 2023. The deputy mayor position was set to be decided the Wednesday prior after the re-election of mayor Nathan Conroy, but councillors failed to reach a majority. A new vote was delayed to Monday. At Wednesday’s meeting, Hughes contended with councillors Brad Hill and Kris Bolam for the role. Hughes was eliminated in the first round, and Bolam and Hill were split four votes each in the second round. The next Monday nominations reopened for the position, allowing Hughes to put his name back into contention. Bolam did not put his hand up, and Hill ran again. Hughes defeated Hill five votes to three - councillors Conroy, Bolam, Tayler, and Asker supported the incumbent deputy mayor.

We are thrilled to be the first venue for the National Gallery of Australia’s newest touring exhibition Know My Name: Australian Women Artists. We’ve paired this major touring exhibition with a suite of exhibitions featuring women artists, including local artist Kylie Stillman, multidisciplinary artist Natalya Hughes and a collection exhibition that celebrates the friendships between female donors and artists. Since the Countess Report on gender inequity in the Australian arts sector in 2016, institutions around the country have taken a closer look at their own collections, exhibition programs, awards and staffing and implemented ways to address gender imbalance in the sector. MPRG’s summer exhibitions and associated programming are an important part of our ongoing mission to elevate and showcase the work of Australian women artists. In 2021 MPRG produced a new collection publication Women Artists that highlights the work of female and female identifying artists in our collection.

More than 50,000 visited the Archibald Prize 2023 at MPRG, boosting the local economy. Of these, half were from metropolitan Melbourne and around 35 percent local Mornington Peninsula residents. Over 70% said the Archibald Prize influenced their decision to travel to the Mornington Peninsula and they spent money on food, drinks, shopping and entertainment in the local area. Of those opting to stay and explore the Peninsula further, the average length of stay was two nights. The feedback about the exhibition has been overwhelmingly positive and we thank our wonderful front of house staff and everyone who came along to see Australia’s most loved exhibition at MPRG.
See you at MPRG, soon. Danny Lacy MPRG Gallery Director

Remains found after plane crash THE remains of two people involved in a plane crash over Mount Martha last week have been found, police say. The two victims of the crash were a 56-year-old Brunswick man and a 30-year-old Surrey Hills man. Plane wreckage was found on Monday, 20 November. On 22 November police confirmed they had found human remains. The plane crash occurred on Sunday, 19 Novem-
ber. Two small planes collided over the Port Philip Bay at around 1.45pm - one crashed into the water and the other safely landed at Essendon airport. Pilot Stephen Gale and cameraman James Rose were the two people inside the crashed plane. Investigators are now probing the cause of the crash. Anyone who witnessed the incident can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or log onto www.crimestoppers.com.au.

Rail bridge design unveiled THE final designs for the new rail bridge in Mentone have been released. The level crossings at Warrigal Road in Mentone and Parkers Road in Parkdale are set to be removed. The new Parkdale Station will open next year. The level crossings will be replaced with rail over road. Last week the Level Crossing Removal Project released its “final designs” for the rail bridge. A media release from the LXRP read that the new station will “reflect the local character and village feel of the suburb featuring a station forecourt, gathering places for locals and warm-toned natural materials.” “The elevated rail bridge will unlock new open spaces and sporting and recreational facilities for the community to enjoy, including a basketball half court, open-air gym, village green, a community garden and a nature-based play area. More than 100,000 trees, shrubs and grasses will be planted in the area as part of the project, boosting vegetation,” the LXRP said. “Building a rail bridge will better connect the suburb, which is currently divided by the rail line. The new station precinct and open space will connect Como Parade East and Como Parade West, providing easier access to the shops, schools and beach for residents and visitors. A new shared use path will also connect Parkdale to Cheltenham via Mentone.” Trains will run along a temporary track on the Frankston line while major works are underway in Mentone and Parkdale - the station will be closed for “several months”, the LXRP says. The state government plans to make the Frankston line level crossing-free by 2029.

United in excellence
THIS part of the world has some of the state’s most beautiful beaches, but beauty can be deceiving, and we need to learn and understand what these beaches and the water are capable of, and where the dangers lie. Thankfully a wonderful partnership between United Energy and the Portsea Surf Life Saving Club means that some of our most vulnerable school aged children have a chance to learn about the water and contribute to the community. Part of the commitment from United Energy sees a subsided live-in camp coming up in early December for nearly 60 Frankston High Students who may not otherwise have had the opportunity to learn water safety – part paid for by UE, the experience will be teaching Safety Resuscitation Certificate, the Bronze Medallion, IRB boating and Search and Rescue skills that may one day save a life. Henry Kiss is the man who heads up Portsea’s Centre of Excellence, his fulltime position only possible via the direct funding of United Energy: “The assistance we get from United Energy is invaluable - we can only run these programs because of their generous support – and we can’t rely on volunteers for everything. We are also providing employment for young people on the peninsula, including 20 university students who assist with the beach programs, maintaining a top quality of service and providing pathways, not just for Portsea members”. Earlier this year Kiss also completed a second year of a very successful SLSC First aid course at the school, allowing students a glimpse at what is possible through the United Energy Program. Primary school children are also able to share in the United Energy generosity and subsidisation, with Hastings, Balnarring, St Mary’s, Somers, Tootgarook, Red Hill, and St Joseph’s all part of the school’s education program that will see nearly 800 children taught valuable lifesaving, and life, skills this summer.

The senior management and staff at United Energy see this support as being part of their local community, as explained by Scott Russell, General Manager for Strategy and Customer
Group – “Our commitment to making the beaches safe and enjoyable in our own backyard underscores this partnership; we are living and working in it every day ourselves”.
“We are proud that the club’s Centre of Excellence education programs, which we directly support, provide surf and water safety education programs to schools and communities throughout our network.” Portsea is also looking to utilise this funding and support other clubs and schools in the area, upskilling smaller organisations by using the United Energy under-written Centre of Excellence as a peninsula wide resource for top level training practices. This allows instructors, water safety and lifeguards in the area to gain from United Energy’s contribution – and setting up a program like this is not cheap with equipment costing over $12,000, including boogie boards, rescue equipment, life jackets, branded rashies, instructor’s uniforms and more. Brett Croft, Portsea SLSC Vice President outlines how vital this contribution is, and aligns with the club’s values of safety, community service, leadership and teamwork: “We feel a community responsibility to create a level of change through education, and it is terrific that United Energy also feel the same way. The United Energy relationship is very important to the club and to the peninsula – allowing us to educate school aged kids on surf awareness, and the beauty of the beach as well as the dangers. Post the covid years we all endured, there has been a lack of opportunities for swimming lessons and so on, and being a coastal community, we know conditions can change in open with tidal movement, wind and waves. The United Energy sponsorship also allows us to instigate a ripple effect in the community – the students can educate other family and friends which is sometimes a challenge.” Kiss knows the real hidden dangers of not being aware of the obvious dangers: “I’m amazed at how many kids live on Peninsula that never go to the beach, and so the realisation, joy and excitement on kids’ faces on the beach is fantastic. Many never done this before, they are overcoming fear and can start to enjoy the water safely with us teaching them life skills and lifesaving skills, CPR, safe body boarding, how to wear a life jacket, how to rescue with everyday items and thousands of other tips and tricks.”
The expectation is that it will be a long hot summer ahead, with busy beaches and United Energy’s people are always looking to spread the message of safety and education and are proud that everyone taking part in their funded programs are developing skills that will stay with them for a lifetime. United Energy’s Scott Russell - “While we hope these skills never have to be used, they might one day save a life in our local waters. We understand the importance of beach safety to our customers and visitors to the Mornington Peninsula, which is why we are proud of our partnership with the Portsea Surf Life Saving Club”. This is the second summer of the program, it has already grown by over 50% this year with more schools wanting to get involved and Croft adds that from a club perspective it simply wouldn’t happen without UE: “The math’s is simple, United Energy’s support allows for the execution of this program, and it is a win-win. Together we achieve the goals of safety, education, and awareness, expanding our primary purpose of protecting the beach going public. Furthermore, we know that this sponsorship is more than just a valuable financial contribution, but it is a genuine emotional buy-in for where United Energy and their people work and operate. it is one of the most important relationships we have at the club”. Safety of community and staff is the number one priority at United Energy, which distributes power to homes and businesses across eastern and south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne, along with the Mornington Peninsula. So, whether it be schoolies visiting the peninsula, retiring octogenarians, school aged children or families from challenging or diverse backgrounds United Energy is delivering safer beaches and ensuring that more people more often get a chance to learn life skills and lifesaving skills that could make a marvellous difference one day. A genuine commitment to community safety. See more at www.unitedenergy.com.au/whatwe-do/community-partners/

we choose to love, to befriend, to laugh with and to spend our time with. The world doesn’t make sense sometimes and we certainly can feel that any sense of normalcy or common sense is gone,” Irvine said. “But here, in this very special place – we can take a moment to escape. To learn more, to laugh, to cry. And with that human being onstage in front of you, and those around you – to connect.” To see the Frankston Arts Centre’s 2024 program visit artscentre.frankston.vic.gov.au/Home

The Guide TOP PICKS OF THE WEEK THURSDAY
SECRET WORLD OF SNACKS
SBS, 7.35pm
Do you eat sweet little jelly babies by the head, or do you prefer biting off the feet first? There’s a lot to ponder in this spirited British doco that’s awash with colourful lollies. Narrated with vibrant aplomb by comedian and The Great British Bake Off: An Extra Slice presenter Jo Brand (pictured), it’s comprehensive and affectionate foray into the rich world of confectionary. Filled with sweet (and sour) insights, Brand digs up some colourful tales. You’ll be reaching for the lolly jar in no time.
FRIDAY
GARDENING AUSTRALIA
ABC TV, 7.30pm
We all need a holiday every now and then, don’t we? Since its premiere in 1990, this beloved gardening series has steadfastly dug its toes into Australian soil – until tonight. After more than 30 years, it’s time to explore the wonders of a different country: our beautiful, biodiverse neighbour Indonesia. In this hour-long special, Costa Georgiadis embarks on an adventure in Sumatra and Jakarta, bringing along co-host Tammy Huynh (both pictured).
SUNDAY
THE BACHELORS AUSTRALIA
TEN, 7.30pm
The dress code is fancy gowns and tuxedos for this new season premiere of the 11th Australian instalment of the hardworking Bachelor franchise. The tongue-in-cheek, schmaltzy Bridgerton-style voiceover for the promos merely hints at the cocktail of lowbrow fun to be had, with endearing host Osher Günsberg sporting a sophisticated silver do. The ritzy fashions and flirtations (and roses) are all for the new trio of Bachelors: Brazilian model and theology student Wesley Senna Cortes; NRL-player-turnedlumberjack Luke Bateman (pictured); and model, entrepreneur and environmentalist Ben Waddell. Luke Bateman looks for love in The Bachelors Australia
Premium quality, great looking styles, designed ‘foot first’ around exclusive innovative footbeds.

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH LEVISON WOOD
SBS, 7.35pm
Rugged British adventurer Levison Wood (pictured above) is a pro at putting himself in perilous situations in the wild, but he’s also a skilled photographer by trade. In this intimate series exploring endangered species, there’s an emphasis on stunning scenery. In part two of three, Levison is off the beaten track in Namibia on the lookout for the rare desert lion. With a focus on the effects of climate change and habitat destruction, it’s a poignant expedition.

Federal cuts to transport needs are no surprise The cancellation of the extension of Frankston to Baxter line is no surprise as the federal government has no infrastructure revenue to fork out (“Budget cuts end travel plans” The News 21/11/23). Governments in Australia are not as wealthy as they used to be, partly because most of our gold was sold by a former Liberal treasurer for $300 an ounce and the rest what is left is in the vaults at the Bank of England not in the Reserve Bank of Australia, which is a government bank. Victoria is in debt with a government not wanting to cut expenditure and government programs and will soon make a treaty with Aboriginals which will add to Victoria’s debt. The Kananook station car park is being built and funded by the federal government on City of Frankston land, which may be unconstitutional as the Australian Constitution does not recognise local government. If it is constitutional, Frankston Council should receive rates from the Commonwealth to help in the relief of ratepayers’ increasing rates bills. Russell Morse, Karingal
Pharmacy needed On Thursday 19 October, having severe breathing problems after two heart operations, I sought help at Frankston Hospital’s 24/7 emergency department. It was so crowded and busy that I waited nearly seven hours before being seen by a helpful doctor. Medicine was prescribed, but I was amazed to hear our impressively developing public hospital did not have an emergency pharmacy to dispense my prescriptions – quite unbelievable. Phone calls by a friendly triage nurse gave worrying news that at 10pm every Frankston pharmacy was closed, except Cranbourne Road Chemist Warehouse, which was open until
10.30pm – we had only 30 minutes to get there. My husband and I were lucky to be independent with a car but could only feel sadness and concern for many other patients, especially those with sick children. Later, I was amazed yet again to read that the Albanese government had delivered almost $10 million for a special Indigenous First Peoples health and wellbeing centre in Frankston CBD, including redevelopment of the “local Aboriginal gathering place”. No such favoured handouts for any other groups, let alone much needed 24/7 pharmacy for Frankston Hospital’s emergency department. Meredith Neumann, Frankston
Carbon capture hoax The Albanese government has shown it supports fossil fuel donors over our environment by recently passing the Sea Dumping Bill 2023 in the Senate. The Bill will allow Santos, Woodside, ExxonMobil and other gas companies to pipe their carbon dioxide (CO2) under the seabed for carbon capture and storage (CCS). The Bill will also allow Japan, South Korea and other countries to transport their CO2 waste to Australia to be injected into old oil and gas reservoirs. Japan wants to exploit the 33 billion tonnes of brown coal in the Latrobe Valley for hydrogen exports and, by coincidence, Latrobe City Council recently voted to send its mayor and CEO to Japan to advocate for hydrogen from coal. But the Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) project cannot proceed if the CO2 waste can’t be safely transported and stored via CCS. CarbonNet is part of the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions and seeks to partner with the HESC to transport CO2 waste under
Bass Strait. Could CarbonNet receive a final investment decision from the Victorian government in the near future? With the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) being held in Dubai from 30 November, it will be interesting to see how CCS is promoted as a decarbonisation solution. Will our elected parliamentarians be attending COP28 to represent their constituents or their fossil fuel friends? Dale Stohr, Crib Point
Religious views Too bad, so sad: The Commonwealth, Section 116, shall not make any law for establishing any religion, or for imposing any religious observance, or for prohibiting the free exercise of any religion, and no religious test shall be required as a qualification for any office or public trust under the Commonwealth. Australia is not a Christian nation, by definition it is a secular nation. If we want to be a Christian nation maybe we should start reading and applying the good parts of the Bible, and therein lies the real hypocrisy of the Christian values many proclaim are the foundation of this country. Actually, a Christian caliphate would not be much better than an ISIS caliphate, which is documented in history by Christian actions of the past and the alt-right Christians of today. The Bible in many cases is much worse than the Koran in its teachings. I have spent some time on this. Many alt-right white supremacist groups base their manifestos on Christianity and the bible, KKK for example. Prayer? OK with me so long as all prayers are offered. Rotate them through the religions, there are over 4000 of them, same with pastors in schools. We should celebrate non-Christian sacred holidays in the same manner as our biased celebration of Christian holidays and give time off and have sales. I’m for this one. But in lieu of that, maybe we should ban Christian festivals and Christmas and Easter should be abandoned and the Easter and Christmas holidays should be scrapped without being
replaced, which will add to Australia’s productivity. Australia is supposedly a democracy, don’t go trying to force Christianity down my throat. The Christian inquisitions did not work in the past and will not work today. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Give us the break What a pleasant surprise to view letters on various subjects to find and congratulate, especially one clever, thoughtful outlook on how some of the “woke” factor elements, such as abnormally bad manners, ugly shouting, wanting to obliterate the word Christ as the spiritual/humanity of Christ’s human birth and redemption of the human race actually took place (“Christian approach” Letters 14/11/23). A few people do not want The Lord’s Prayer to be said before our political gatherings. However, voters have a personal obligation to find out how the candidates line up on their voting intentions. It is very important that we don’t put our country, and its future voters in jeopardy, by such foolhardy voting. We have done very well using the present constitution. As for Judeo/Christian religious worship in the manner for which it was successfully put into effect and a break to think about it, most people have always enjoyed the break, whether for religious or personal interests. The extra payment now given to every worker will be replaced by a few very important, individual type staff (as still must exist, and they will as people always need medical attention 365 days a year) with other such important industries such as farming, food production and care, but the rest will go into an ordinary working day.

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Frankston school – Lecture by Mr Chas. Long Compiled by Cameron McCullough ON Friday last in the school grounds the pupils were entertained to a lecture by Mr. Chas. Long, M.A. on “The Early Discoveries in Port Phillip Bay”. A large number of parents and friends accepted Mr. Jenning’s invitation, amongst whom were included the following old pioneers, Messrs. Tom. McComb (oldest resident), Joseph McComb, David Kelly and Miss Carr; younger residents noticed were Mr. and Mrs. Evans, jnr., Mr., Mrs. and Miss Jennings, Mesdame’s, Amor, Legge, Bradbury and Stanton and Messrs. Evans, senr., and Lind (ex-president of the A.N.A.) Mr. Jennings, in introducing Mr. Long, said that he was very pleased to have that gentleman present, and that the scholars must feel proud to know that Mr. Long made up their school papers, and was going to tell them about the pioneers of their own country. Mr. Long, who was received with cheers, prefaced his address by informing the children that he prepared the school papers, and hoped that the 6th and 8th grades found things to their liking. He took the opportunity of telling them that 10 marks out of 20 would pass them, instead of 12 out of 20 as marked on the paper. Mr. Long, whose address was mainly for the scholars, but was listened to most appreciatively by everyone present, took his hearers back to 1788, the year of the landing of the first white people in New South Wales (Sydney), when nothing was known about
Victoria, through the vista of years to 1836, when the governor of New South Wales sent Lonsdale to lay out Melbourne, which was founded the year before. Bass, who came from Sydney to Western Port in 1798, Grant and Murray his first mate, Bowen, who on March 9, 1802, found the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, which was named after the first governor of New South Wales; Flinders; who arrived six weeks after Bowen had left, and was of great assistance in charting Port Phillip Bay, and who stopped right opposite the present site of Frankston, and drew water supplies from what is now known as Kananook creek, were some of the earlier historical names touched on by the speaker. William Buckley, the first white settler in Victoria, and his adventures with the aborigines, proved a very popular personage with the children, later Hamilton Hume and Capt. Hovell, who took the first expedition across Victoria, and still later Henty, Batman and Fawkner, who came from Van Dieman’s Land and founded the first settlements in Victoria in 1835, were pioneers to whose pluck and indomitable energy Victoria owes her birth. At the conclusion Mr. Jennings thanked Mr. Long most heartily, and called for an acclamatory vote of thanks which was given with great zest. Several of those present were asked by Mr. Jennings to say a few words, and Messrs. Lind, J.R., McComb and Evans, senr., addressed a few appreciative remarks, Mr. Evan’s reference to a peach episode of his youthful days causing great merriment.
*** MR. and Mrs. P. S. McGovern, accompanied by Mrs. Jacobs, left on Monday last for a fortnight’s motor trip through Gippsland. *** MRS. R. L. N. Utber, accompanied by her sister, Mrs Robertson, is spending a holiday at Olinda. *** THE removal of the fence at the Frankston railway subway and the widening of Young street, which work was undertaken this week, represents the result of persistent agitation by the Frankston Progress Association. The scheme for improving this important thoroughfare was formulated by the shire engineer, Lieut.– Colonel Lazarus, who explained the position to the Railway Commissioners on the occasion of their last visit to Frankston several months ago. It is gratifying to know that this work will be accomplished before the heavy holiday traffic sets in. *** ON Wednesday last little Roy Bentley, aged 6, who is spending a holiday with his parents in Mornington road, had quite an adventurous time, during the course of which he gave his mother a most anxious time. It appears that Roy was playing on the beach, but at about 3 o’clock had disappeared. Search was made, but, without result, and later in the evening the police were notified, and the fire-bell rung. The wanderer was discovered between 6 and half-past by two local Italian fishermen on the beach, about 3 miles from home, and restored to

The Visitors is profound and moving. It looks back on the most significant day in Australian history and the life-altering decisions the Indigenous custodians of the land had to make. The Peasant Prince is the inspiring life story of dance sensation Li Cunxin adapted for children. It tells of his journey from poverty in rural China to international superstardom. Guards at the Taj explores how far friendship can be stretched when two lifelong friends are ordered to do the unthinkable. This bloodthirsty black comedy is certainly thought-provoking. The Tap Pack is a sensational celebration of songs from the legendary Rat Pack to modern day classic crooners punctuated by tap dancing feet and a percussive beat. You Are a Doughnut is a hilarious exploration of the human digestive system from poop puppets to performance poetry. Song, dance and clowning around. Bon Appetit is a delicious, messy foodthemed circus the whole family will love. Aerials, acrobatics, musical comedy and juggling. Captivating silliness abounds. Simply Brill “The Teens Who Stole Rock ‘N Roll” pays tribute to the life changing impact of 60s rock. Three stellar singers and a rocking 5-piece band bring this story to life. A Very Big Band Christmas features sublime harmonies, a booming big band and celebratory Christmas tunes even The Grinch would love. A fabulous way to round out the season. Treat yourself! Tickets are available at thefac.com.au or by calling 03 9784 1060.
the fold by Mr. Osborne. *** Frankston Police Court On Tuesday last, before Messrs. Grant (chairman), and Brown, J’s.P., Allan Edward Cooper was charged on two counts: (1) offensive behaviour on 25th inst., (2) negligently driving a motor car, on the same date. Senior–Constable Wilson, who prosecuted, said the defendant’s solicitor had asked for an adjournment until December 11, to which he had no objection.– Granted.. The case against Ernest George McMullen, charged with negligently driving a motor car on October 10, was, owing to Senior–Constable Culhane not being able to attend, adjourned for eight weeks. THREATENING WORDS IN A PUBLIC PLACE William Albert Couch, motor driver, East Melbourne, was charged with that he did on 24th inst., use threatening words in a public place. Defendant, who was undefended, pleaded not guilty. Arthur William Edwards, painter, of Bentleigh, gave evidence to the effect that on 24th inst., at about 10.15pm, he was proceeding in a motor car to Rosebud, accompanied by his wife and friends. After leaving Mordialloc, two men on a motor bike hailed him, saying they were special police and ordered him to stop. Later the defendant stood in the centre of the road with extended arms, and repeated the order. On arrival at Frankston, he took his wife and friends into a shop for refreshments. Defendant followed him and used
filthy language. The police were sent for and accused given in charge. Elsie Hallpike and Stephen Vince Hallpike corroborated the evidence given by complainant. Mounted–Constable Graham deposed that he arrested the accused on the night of the 24th inst., on complaint made by Mr. Edwards. Accused, giving evidence on oath, stated that in company with a friend, while passing through Mordialloc he almost run into complainant’s motor car, which had no tail light. He called out to him and tried to stop him on three different occasions, but complainant took no notice. He followed the car to Frankston with the idea of informing the police, as he considered a car having no tail light a danger. On arrival at Frankston, he looked for the police, but was given in charge by the complainant. Cross-examined, accused said that his only reason for trying to stop the complainant was to inform him that his tail light was out. He did not remember using the language complained of, and was not drunk, nor did he say he was a “special”. Howard Reg. Dewhurst, linesman, Oakleigh, corroborated evidence given by accused. Cross-examined, he said that he thought accused was doing the complainant a kindness by attempting to draw attention to the state of the tail light. Accused was fined 60/- or in default 14 days, and 40/- costs. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 28 & 30 Nov 1923

KNOW MY NAME: AUSTRALIAN WOMEN ARTISTS Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery will be bursting with summer colour with four extraordinary exhibitions, radiating the work of women artists from across Australia. Know My Name: Australian Women Artists is a National Gallery touring exhibition which will make its first stop in Mornington on its two-year tour. The exhibition features more than 60 works by female artists including Margaret Preston, Janet-Cumbrae Stewart and Emily Kam Kngwarray, providing visitors with an opportunity to experience the art and stories and get to know some of the country’s most influential women artists. Brisbane-based artist Natalya Hughes recreates The Interior - an immersive installation at MPRG, transforming the space and combining sculptural seating, richly patterned soft furnishings, and uncanny oject’de at, nestled around a hand-painted mural. Visitors will be invited to explore the space, while subconsciously exploring the role of women and their historical absence from positions of power through the part-professional part-domestic setting. Known for her incredible book sculptures and woodcarvings, local artist Kylie Stillman’s latest exhibition Glimmer Warning draws from her love of small tools such as scalpel blades, jigsaws, drills and sewing materials to alter objects and create negative spaces that depict ‘signs of lift’. In this new exhibition, Stillman’s site specific wall-based artwork features alongside intricate works on paper and sculptures. Crossing Paths: Women supporting women in the MPRG Collection explores the connections between four women artists in the MPRG Collection; Guelda Pyke, Nancy Grant, Dorothy
Braund and Barbara Brash. Know My Name, Natalya Hughes - The Interior, Kylie Stillman – Glimmer Warning and Crossing Paths will be on display at Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery from 25 November 2023 until 18 February 2024. Entry is free.

THE MEANING OF EXISTENCE... AND OTHER SHORT STORIES
The Colossal Car Stereo Conflict By Stuart McCullough THERE was no escape. Once the call went out, seven people who, under ordinary circumstances, kept a respectful if not healthy distance from one another, would be required to submit themselves to the exquisite agony and confined space that is the family car. Truth be told, it wasn’t so much a car as it was a van. That’s how it goes with larger-than-average families. For most of my childhood, we had a Toyota ‘Dante Inferno’ that came with a sign above the sliding door that read, ‘Abandon all hope, ye who enter here’. Each of us had an assigned seat. There were lots of things to dislike about a family car trip. Cramming parents and children into a metal box is not a natural state of being. To be squashed up against a sibling is an invitation to conflict. Suffice to say, that car saw more than its fair share of bickering, petty arguments, seatbelt pulling and pinching over the years. We kids were often almost as bad. But more challenging than being lumped together for an extended period of time was the fact of music. At the best of times, music is a tricky business. Back before everyone was permanently head-phoned (so to speak) and listening to the music of their choice, families had to select and listen to the same music. When it comes to communal listening, there are several approaches. There’s the autocrat, who determines what music everyone else will be listening to. However, to be the autocrat, you either need to be driving the
car (because the act of driving comes with a range of other special powers such as determining when windows are open and whether or not you’ll drive through or past your preferred fast food vendor) or in close proximity to the stereo. Basically, it means you have to be an adult. There’s the ‘take turns’ model. To be honest, this requires a good deal of bravery. By giving everyone in the car their shot, you may well get a burst of something from the ‘Baby Shark’ extended Universe. Granted, not everything chosen by a member of your family would be drawn from that particular hellscape, but it was a real risk. Kids, little kids especially, have a tendency to latch onto something and flog it to death until you begin to question why it is that God
cursed you with ears. To this day, I know the lyrics to a lot of tunes from the Sesame Street songbook. Autocrats are one thing, and there’s a certain perilous democracy inherent in the ‘take turns’ model, but best practice is also the most difficult to pull off. I speak, of consensus. Getting seven people to agree on anything is an achievement worthy of a prize. Spirited debates were almost always guaranteed to descend into conflict. Service stations used to stock emergency cassettes. The range was confined to the world’s greatest musical artists – The Little River Band, Queen and Chad Morgan (in no particular order). These were available to either break deadlocks where consensus proved elusive or, alternatively,
provide relief from the Wiggles. I don’t recall my parents ever resorting to Chad Morgan, although they may well have threatened it. For a consensus, there was one cassette and one band that brought us together. That band was ‘The Beatles’ and the album ‘The Beatles Ballads’. It may have come with a magazine. The cassette appeared in the mideighties and featured a strangely stylised drawing of the band on the front cover. It was, apparently, considered as the cover for the ‘White’ album but was rejected in favour of, well, almost nothing. Unlike the ‘Red’ or ‘Blue’ albums, the song selection seemed largely random, plucking tunes from various points of the Beatles’ career, then presenting them in an order that may well have been drawn from a hat.

The collection kicks off with ‘Yesterday’, a song that might safely be described as ‘well-known’. It’s followed by ‘Norwegian Wood’ and then, somewhat puzzlingly, ‘Do You Want to Know a Secret?’ ‘All My Loving’ sat next to ‘Hey Jude’. In retrospect, it was jarring, but at the time, I didn’t know any better. The songs were, of course, mesmerising. It was impossible not be struck by how incredible this music was. It set a standard. It was no accident that in primary school, I drew a picture of Paul McCartney on my exercise book. That tape remained a fixture on the dashboard of our Toyota ‘Dante Inferno’ right up until the sun got hold of it and it really became a fixture after it fused with the plastic. Two weeks ago, I had a birthday. And on that day, The Beatles released a new song, ‘Now and Then’. It would probably be quite at home on side B of ‘The Beatles Ballads’. I know there’s some computer magic involved and it’s not the same as something recorded on the floor of Abbey Road, but it’s wonderful to hear those people and that voice again. Even now, there’s still fierce competition for the control of the stereo, but I’ll slip on ‘Now and Then’ when the kids aren’t looking. And even if it feels like a long and winding road and those in the back seat are imploring me to let it be, I will smile and think of ‘The Beatles Ballads’. stuart@stuartmccullough.com

PROVINCIAL
SOME good bowling has put Sorrento in pole position for a win over Langwarrin on the first day of their two-day clash. Langwarrin chose to bat first on what was a wet and dreary day of cricket on Saturday. Their first three batters made starts, but were sent back to the sheds without converting them into big totals. Luke Kranzbuhler bowled well for Sorrento. He took 3/27 from his 11 overs, including the important wicket of opener Sam Prosser. Langwarrin ended the day on 6/80 after a long rain delay. Old Peninsula and Red Hill had better luck with the weather at Peninsula Grammar Oval last weekend. The Pirates batted for 78 overs, and ended up all out for 156. Skipper Justin Grant top scored for Old Peninsula with a knock of 65 from 182. Red Hill bowler Brent Martin took 4/46 from 34 overs. At Bruce Park, Baden Powell scored 4/91 on day one against Heatherhill.
scored an unbeaten 76 from 126. Carrum Downs finished the day at 5/226. At RF Miles Reserve, Seaford set Carrum a target of 172 to score to win. Carrum made some progress before stumps, scoring 2/52 from 15 overs. Flinders will need to score 164 to beat Delacombe Park this Saturday. At Ditterich Reserve last weekend, Balnarring scored 1/94 on a raininterrupted day of play against Main Ridge.
SUB DISTRICT
PENINSULA
ROSEBUD is in grave danger of losing to Mornington. A stunning seven wicket haul from former Australian Test spinner Bryce McGain was the difference on day one. He took 7/20 for Mornington from 20 overs. Rosebud was bowled out for 96 runs. Liam Collett top scored with 37 from 144 balls. Mornington scored 1/36 before stumps
Mt Eliza was also bowled out for a low total on Saturday. They were sent packing for just 91 by Dromana. Dromana will restart on day two at 1/23 with victory in its sights. Seaford Tigers set Moorooduc a target of 185 to score to win on Saturday. The Tigers bowled four overs before stumps and took two crucial wickets.
A big total of 236 looks likely to be enough for Somerville to beat Baxter. Somerville was bowled out for 236 after 63 overs. Baxter batted for 11 overs before the end of the day, and lost two wickets for just 16 runs.
DISTRICT
GORDON Waterfall scored a bril-
liant century on Saturday to put his side in the box seat for a win over Crib Point. Carrum Downs was sent in to bowl first. After losing an early wicket, Waterfall came in and dominated. Waterfall scored 105 from 234 deliveries. He was partnered by Michael O’Driscoll, who scored 19 from 92, and Robert Johnston who
BONEO looks almost certain to beat Pearcedale thanks to an excellent bowling display last weekend. Boneo hosted Pearcedale on Saturday for day one of the two-dayer. Pearcedale was sent in to bat first, and was sent back to the sheds for only 97 runs. The tail end capitulated for Pearcedale. Three of their batters were dismissed for ducks, and one was dismissed for a single run. Boneo scored 0/42 before stumps - Pearcedale will need a miracle to avoid defeat this Saturday. Skye scored 8/122 on day one of their matchup against Frankston YCW. At RJ Rowley Reserve this Saturday, Tyabb will restart from 3/17 in response to Rye’s day one total of 146..

Myatt puts opponents on notice SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie KEEGAN Myatt would like nothing better than to strike fear into the heart of opposition defenders next season. Baxter’s 20-year-old left winger has held his own debrief of season 2023 and is his biggest critic. “I didn’t have a great season,” he said. “I didn’t do terrible but I didn’t have as good a season as I wanted because I aimed to score at least 18 goals and maybe get 15 assists but only scored 12 and assisted a few but not enough. “When I was younger football was my life but now I’m getting lazy, getting distracted and I need to do something about that. “I need to prove myself because I came to Baxter with all this hype but I underperformed and definitely feel that I could have done a lot better.” The Myatt family is synonymous with Doveton soccer club as Keegan’s grandfather was a founding member and his father is team manager. Unsurprisingly that was where Keegan Myatt’s football story started when he was just four years old. Current Doveton president Daniel McMinimee coached Myatt as a junior and his close friendship with McMinimee’s son Brodie has endured. “Brodie’s been my best mate just about since we were born,” Myatt said. “We grew up together and shared the same soccer journey.” When Myatt was 11 the junior boys NPL program started and he made the switch to the under-12s at Serbianbacked Springvale White Eagles. “Being non-Serbian in a team full of Serbians was a bit weird at the start and it took me ages to get going but it turned out really good in fact I reckon going to White Eagles was one of the best decisions I ever made. “I improved so much there and as a 13-year-old I was getting picked for the (under) 14s then the year after I jumped up to the 15s and played some 18s games and in the 20s as well.” At White Eagles Myatt came into contact with Nebojsa Vukosavljevic who was coaching the under-14s and he left a lasting impression. “He picked me for the 14s and he was unreal, I mean scary as. “He’d scream and yell but it was always done out of love and always realistic. “He could see the ability and wanted to bring it out.”

Myatt didn’t go unnoticed. He was invited to join Victoria’s Talented Player Program eventually winning selection in the Victorian metro under-14s to contest the national championships at Coffs Harbour. “I honestly never thought I’d make it but other players started dropping out and I found myself in the last 30 then suddenly I was in the last 20 and I started thinking ‘geez, I’m a chance here’.” Vic metro coach Jasper Kristensen played Myatt on the wing throughout the nationals and the youngster excelled in a team that won the title by beating Northern NSW. “At the end of the championships someone came up to me and asked me to point out my dad. “It was a guy from Melbourne City so I ended up going there and playing in their NPL under-18s. “My entire family are diehard Manchester City fans so going to Melbourne City (owned by the City Football Group) was a bit of a dream
Sudoku and crossword solutions
come true.” It didn’t long though for that dream to be shattered. “It was so hard, so really hard. “I had to leave school an hour early three days a week to get to Latrobe Uni for 4.30. “I was getting a bus from school to Berwick train station then a train to Caulfield where my dad was working and he’d drive me to Bundoora. “To make it worse they were playing me left back and I’m a full-on winger. “I couldn’t defend and I was looking stupid. “It was hard for my dad watching what was going on. “One time I got all my family there to watch me play – I think it was against Bulleen – and played about 30 minutes then ran the line for the whole of the second half.” Myatt returned to White Eagles the following season and played in the under-18s also making two appearances in the under-20s. In 2019 he returned to his own age
group when playing for the under-16s at Langwarrin where he met current Baxter coach Stephen Fisher. When Fisher joined Doveton now in NPL3 Myatt wasn’t far behind and it was shortly after Fisher was appointed to the senior coaching role at Baxter late last year that Myatt chose to drop down from NPL3 to State 4 level. It was a long-time friendship that swayed the youngster into joining. “When he got Brodie (McMinimee) down there he probably gave him a nudge to try and get me down.” But it will take more than a nudge to ensure that Myatt remains at Baxter. “If all the boys stay and we have a decent team then I’ll stay at Baxter,” Myatt said. There’s talk about the club’s recruits from Noble Park United having rejoined their former club while Izaak Baar, Brodie Jones, Noah Green and Jack Elliott could add to the departure list. If that happens it will force Fisher to oversee a second major squad makeover in as many seasons. “Brodie’s only 20 but he’s stopped playing and Izaak’s one of the original Baxter boys that I got close to. “He’s such a character and such a competitor – if he’s involved in a 50/50 I get scared for the other guy! “Jack’s undecided and Noah’s moved to the city. “Noah’s our rock mate – he does all the hard yards and he’s an absolute workhorse.” Green won Baxter’s best and fairest and players’ player awards this year so losing players of such quality would be a major blow. If Myatt remains then winning the league is his number one team target. On a personal level he is hellbent
on improving his finishing. “I can’t keep missing so many opportunities. “I’m talking about having the ball squared to me and my first touch taking it on an angle instead of setting me up to shoot. “I want to score more goals and I want to be a threat so that when I get the ball on the wing the opposition is like ‘oh no, what’s he going to do now?’ “I need to be more dangerous, more clinical in front of goal.” While that’s an ominous sign for any right-sided defenders confronting Myatt next season they can’t say they haven’t been warned. In State 2 news long-serving Skye United goalkeeper Jonathan Crook has decided to step away from senior football. “I’ve thought about it after other seasons but this time it just seemed right,” Crook said. The big Kiwi keeper joined Skye from Matamata Swifts in 2016 and has been a mainstay ever since. Skye gaffer Phil McGuinness took the news on the chin and paid tribute to the stalwart. “He’s the most dedicated player I've ever known so for him to say he wasn't playing next season he's obviously thought about it a lot,” McGuinness said. “I thought it would be very unfair of me to try and persuade him but he’s a massive loss. “Jono’s probably been Skye’s greatest ever player. “I know that’s a big call but that’s my opinion.” In other news next year’s Wallace Cup will once more be hosted by Langwarrin at its Lawton Park complex. The annual charity tournament will take place on Saturday 20 January. The event commemorates the life of local soccer icon Stephen William Wallace who was 54 years old when he died on 19 July 2011 and was a former Langwarrin player, coach, president, life member, club council representative and Bayside League referee. This will be the 11th staging of the Wallace Cup and previous winners are Casey Comets 2013; Mornington 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018; Moreland Zebras 2019; Langwarrin 2020, 2021 and 2022. Event organiser Tanya Wallace will announce the competing clubs at a later date.
