New Year, New Look By Wendy McKillop e are starting a new year and with it comes a time for new resolutions and fresh starts. In keeping with the desire for clearing out the old, The Glenlyon & District News is trying out a new format. All the old favourites remain, but it is hoped the new presentation will make them easier to find and read.
W
articles and news from residents in all areas about issues and events. If you find something interesting, chances are someone else will find it interesting too. Contributions can be emailed to glenlyonnews@gmail.com We hope you like our new look and look forward to your feedback and comments.
As part of the new look we are launching our new logo. With design by Jenny Chester, it has three trees representing the heritage avenue of trees in Barkly Street. A straight line behind the trees is the DaylesfordMalmsbury Road and the wavy line beneath the letters GDN is the Loddon River. To simplify the design the “&”has been omitted in the title to now become The Glenlyon District News. The aim is to demonstrate more inclusivity of the district surrounding Glenlyon instead of the township of Glenlyon as a separate area. Whilst Glenlyon can be acknowledged as the only township in Holcombe Ward, The Glenlyon District News seeks to embrace the whole area originally defined as the 1890s Glenlyon Roads Board district which included Coomoora, Porcupine Ridge, Wheatsheaf, Denver and Drummond. All of these areas have their own unique characteristics and joined together give this area the quality that makes it special. The Glenlyon District News welcomes letters, stories,

Glenlyon Weather Summary — December 2018 By John Cable
T
he clear winner in the rainfall stakes for 2018 was Andrew Hitchman at Diairy Flat Road who recorded 78.5mm in December for a total of 819mm for the calendar year. Murrell Osborne at Ford Street, Glenlyon was runner up with 56mm in December for an annual total of 748mm while 75 Butlers Lane recorded 54mm and an annual total of 684mm. For comparison purposes the long-term average for Daylesford is 875mm. The BoM predicts that there is a 75% chance of receiving between 50 and 100mm for the next three months. Daytime and evening temperatures are forecast to continue to be “warmer than average” and the fire danger “high” due to the above average temperatures.

Xmas Fair and Community BBQ
H
eavy rain in the morning and threatening skies kept a lot of people away from the GPA Xmas Fair and Community BBQ on Saturday 15 December. Undaunted, a group of willing workers set up marquees and the BBQ, with the hope of finer weather to come. They were not entirely disappointed with only the odd brief shower to send everyone scurrying for cover. A reduced number of stalls offered a range of goods. The Daylesford Community Band, cosily installed in one of the marquees, kept everyone entertained with a selection of Christmas songs. Judder Bar Eats and the Tea Caravan provided welcome hot food and drinks. Santa arrived courtesy of the Glenlyon Brigade fire truck to hand out treats for all the young, and perhaps not-so-young, who gathered around. As a result of the disappointment last year, occasioned by the newer appliance being used instead of the previous community-owned fire truck to transport Santa, special tram rides were available. Children and adults enjoyed the experience of riding on the tram which was pulled by Brooke and Noah, two festively dressed Clydesdale horses Lee and Brett find hot chips are top wet under the expert guidance of Jaimie. weather cuisine Jaimie’s partner, Matthew, drawing on his experience at Sovereign Hill, made the purpose-built replica horse-drawn tram t2 months ago. Jaimie and Matthew, who own and run Sandy Creek Clydesdale Stud in Maldon, have a passion for this breed of gentle working horses from a bygone era. As well as breeding and training the horses, they hire out a variety of vehicles for events including weddings and funerals. As the evening drew to a cool close the sun made a last appearance to produce a spectacularly beautiful full arc of a double rainbow spanning the Reserve.
Sandy Prepares for Paint Glenlyon 2019
S
andy Angliss, who has lived at Porcupine Ridge for three years, is preparing to enter Paint Glenlyon 2019. Sandy says that winning the $1,000 first prize in Paint Glenlyon 2018 last year was a great thrill for her. “It was my first art prize. People said very kind comments to me on the night of the opening. People were very encouraging and I found that so lovely,” she said. “I loved the community spirit of the Paint Glenlyon art exhibition- the feeling of being welcomed into the community has stayed with me and this is priceless.” Sandy has been painting since she was a child and has it always held a strong fascination for her. In the 1960s her Grade 5 art teacher at Mordialloc Primary School encouraged her by taking her paintings off to art exhibitions. At present Sandy is working on a portrait of her 87-year-old mother that she plans to exhibit in an International Women’s Artists Exhibition in Moscow in May. When she has finished that, Sandy intends to start work on her entries for Paint Glenlyon 2019. Sandy says that when driving around Glenlyon with her husband she is always on the lookout for new scenes to paint. She is inspired by all sorts of subject matter such as people, landscapes or butterflies. Sandy says that she needs to be drawn into painting a subject that has the potential for a variety of tones and colours and looks challenging to paint. She has had some ideas in mind for the past year. “It will be good to get some ideas out onto a canvas,” she said “I think that Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet would have loved to have painted in Glenlyon and her surrounds.” Entries for Paint Glenlyon 2019 close on 1 April. Criteria for the painting are a recognisable landscape within 30km of Glenlyon Hall executed in any twodimensional non-editionable medium. (No photographs or computer-generated work). Entry fee is $10 for each of up to three paintings. A special under 17 Junior Section offers prizes of art supply vouchers. To request a copy of conditions and an entry form email paintglenlyon@glenlyon.vic.au or ring Wendy 5348 7792.
Fun and Games to Start the New Year
T
he traditional New Year’s Day Mixed Sports Day was held at the Reserve in perfect conditions. Woodchopping drew its usual crowd of dedicated followers. Competitors and spectators came from all over Victoria to the first event of the Midland Axemans Association calendar. Winner of the Junior Underhand, 12-year-old Will Hoyle from Koonoomoo was the youngest competitor on the day and Don Hansford at over 80 yearsold was the oldest. Don took out First Place Veterans Underhand ahead of Allan Pearce, second; George Millman, third; and Dave Leggard, fourth. It is good to see a sport that caters for such a wide age-range of participants. The presence of so many promising younger axemen foretells an encouraging future for the sport.
Ellie Schooling, riding Bob, showed a clean pair of heels to take out the feature horse race, the Don Hansford passes on some tips to Will Hoyle Glenlyon Cup ahead of Alison MacLaren on Bobby and Jody West on Annie. The unplaced rider of the last horse home had time to wave to the crowd as he passed the finish line. Emma Fanning rode King Jester to win the Cross Country ahead of Biankja Hughes on Steph and Ellie Schooling on Bob and well as winning the Tracey Conroy Memorial Trophy and the 75cm, 90cm and 105cm jumping events.
Jack Cooper gets ready to see fair play in the Bullboar Eating and Mineral Water Drinking events.
A last dash up the home straight for the Glenlyon Cup
Fiona Macdonald won the Women’s Mineral Water Drinking Championship ahead of Joanne Murdoch and Justine Russel, however Joanne put in a strong performance to win the Bullboar Eating with Di Dankers second and Kelly Joyce in third place.
Kieren Frost was up to his usual standard to win the Men’s Mineral Water Drinking ahead of Ryan Brown and Bryce Greenwood, however was 10 seconds behind Bohdan Evans to win second place in the Men’s Bullboar Eating with Bill Wilson in third place. In other novelty events Carolyn Hood won the Women’s Gum Boot Throwing with a throw of 19 metres and Heidi Koopman won the Women’s Nail Driving competition. St Michaels Primary School were on hand to provide the food and drink. Children’s activities, musical entertainment by the Daylesford Community Band and Daylesford Pipes and Drums as well as the chance to win a prize on the CFA spinning wheel all added to the festive atmosphere.

porting Clays is a form of clay pigeon shooting that resembles the unpredictability of real-life hunting situations, with clay targets of various sizes thrown from trap machines at various angles, trajectories, elevations, speeds and distances. A course generally consists of 10 to 15 unique stations laid out over natural terrain, leading to the sport being dubbed as “golf with a shotgun”. The variation of clay target presentation is limited only to the imagination of the target setter. Sporting Clays Australia is the national independent association for sporting clays and universal trench shooting, run by a passionate group of volunteers who are experienced in the sport. It is a not-for-profit organisation that promotes the sport at all levels, creating a community of competitive and recreational clay shooters. https://sportingclaysaustralia.com.au/ January February

The Case for Conservation By Gayle Osborne he Wombat State Forest, located on the Great Dividing Range between Daylesford and Woodend, is a critical refuge for many threatened species and this has been recognised by the Victorian Environment Assessment Council (VEAC). The Central West Investigation draft report recommends a combination of national park, regional and conservation parks for the Wombat State Forest.
Blackwood and south of Daylesford, as well as in the east of the Wombat would allow for a range of activities including bushwalking, dog walking, horse riding and domestic firewood collection close to towns. The section of the Wombat north of Daylesford would become a conservation park. This is a new category of park and although managed for conservation values this classification is not as restrictive as a National Park. The draft recommendations represent a wonderful result for The role of VEAC is to provide independent and strategic conservation in the Wombat Forest and would protect it advice to the State Government regarding protection and from logging and most mining. management of the environment and natural resources The successful campaign, launched in 2010, for this on Victoria’s public land.

VEAC has also recognised the importance of the Wombat as vital for the protection of many species. The VEAC draft report notes: “Good numbers of greater glider are also being recorded in the wetter forests of the central Wombat ranges; this constitutes the only population of this threatened species west of the Hume Highway.
The outlook is not so good for Mt Cole and Mt Lonarch State Forests. Ben Nevis Nature Reserve (1,088 hectares) would be created on the northern flanks of the current Mount Cole State Forest and 1,406 ha from the Mt Cole forest added to Mount Buangor State Park to form the Mount Buangor National Park. However, the remaining areas of state forests will continue to be The presence of breeding powerful owls is significant, as logged. It is doubtful that this logging, which includes clear-felling, is sustainable.
