mildura weather outlook

THE Mildura Weekly will be embracing the ‘Mardi Gras’ spirit this year, adopting the parade’s ‘recycled’ theme as our own. To help promote the benefits of recycling we’ll be stockpiling a number of old newspapers, shredded documents and other forms of reusable paper for our readers to use as extra padding for parcels or packages, a packing medium, as mulch, or whatever use they can find for it! Anyone wanting shredded paper can call into our office at 73 Orange Avenue, or phone 5021 1777, for more information. give the brain cells a workout with our testing trivia quiz including ‘Who am I?’. The entertainment page will also be ‘the go to’ home for our regular reader competitions, with lots of great prizes to be won throughout the year. ‘My Ride’ is the place to showoff your pride and joy. Whether it be a car, a motorcycle, a truck, a tractor or even an aeroplane! This is the place to find out what’s ‘hot’.

f f a h C

We are asking our readers to show us, and the rest of Sunraysia, what they have stashed in the shed. All we need is four to five photographs of your ‘ride’ and a head and shoulders shot of you! Email it to us at myride@milduraweekly. com.au and share your pride and joy with our readers. With so many more free-to-air television channels coming on stream, we had to radically expand our television

guide. The single page has become two to include a guide to seven days viewing on ABC1, WIN, Prime, Ten, SBSONE, ABC2, GO!, Seven Two/Prime, SBSTWO and the popular OneHD sports channel. Our GoAuto motoring pages have already proven to be a hit with plenty of positive feedback on this new feature. Each week we will feature two pages of the latest vehicles from carmakers around the globe. Last week we featured the latest incarnations of two perennial favourites from Holden and a Ford – the Lion’s station wagon and the Fiesta Econetic. These week the featured makers are Subaru, Honda and Bentley. And, if you have a half a million dollars spare, the Bentley could be for you! So sit back and relax. There’s now more in your free, fullcolour Mildura Weekly every Friday. Enjoy.

s this the best-ever blonde joke? A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, “Please come over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw puzzle, and I can’t figure out how to get started.” Her boyfriend asks, “What is it supposed to be when it’s finished?” The blonde says, “According to the picture on the box, it’s a rooster.” Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the puzzle. She lets him in and shows him where she has the puzzle spread all over the table. He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to her and says, “First of all, no matter what we do, we’re not going to be able to assemble these pieces into anything resembling a rooster.” He takes her hand and says, “Second, I want you to relax. Let’s have a nice cup of tea, and then,” he said with a deep sigh, “let’s put all the Corn Flakes back in the box.”

• WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE: After years of dry river beds or just a slow trickle of water meandering its way down the Darling (BELOW), river folk are finally welcoming one of the biggest flows in a drought-affected Murray Darling Basin, with the water at the top of the banks in many towns, including Bourke, Louth, Tilpa and Wilcannia, where the two pictures sent by shire ranger Larry Bearman yesterday show a complete contrast.

the end of January. It is welcome news for all towns downstream – and irrigators in SA, who are now expected to get a slice of the water that is almost certain to be released following the expected inflows into the Menindee Lakes system. Last year, SA Premier Mike Rann threatened to take Victoria to the High Court over water trading, but the State’s water Minister Karlene Maywald says the issue should be dealt with by negotiation. She said it was likely that SA

irrigators could now get increases above 50 percent of their allocation if enough water went into Menindee, a lakes storage that can hold more than five times the capacity of Sydney Harbour. National agreements give NSW control over allocation until the Menindee storages reach 640 gigalitres, when the Murray-Darling Basin Authority takes over responsibility. NSW Water Minister Phil Costa said water officials were “evaluating strategies to best manage the water” but refused to commit

to releasing water for SA. Federal Water Minister Penny Wong said a new basin plan to be released later in the year would set sustainable diversion limits. “Recent heavy rainfall across both the Darling and Murray catchments has been a very welcome development,” she said. “This has provided much-needed water for both consumption and environmental purposes. “Additional falls over summer could see significant amounts of water flowing into Menindee Lakes.”

THE wall of water heading down the Darling River as a result of heavy rain in Queensland and NSW has breathed new life into small, drought-stricken river towns. It’s many years since the Darling has experienced such flows – minor to moderate flood warnings have already been issued – and there’s more water on the way. The flood-waters are expected to inject as much as 300 billion litres of water into the MurrayDarling river system, and the Menindee Lakes system is expected to get its first decent fill in years. At Bourke, Louth, Tilpa and Wilcannia, flood-waters were over the bank in some places, and Wilcannia residents have seen their section of river go from bone dry to a 13-metre deep torrent in the space of a week. According to life-long Wilcannia resident Pat Barraclough, it’s already made a noticeable difference to the town. “It’s made a huge difference,” she said. “It’s picked a lot of people up… there’s a different atmosphere around town… and indications are we’ll have water for a while to come.” Shire ranger Larry Bearman agreed. He has been keeping a close eye on the river, and says the flood-waters are the best thing to happen for the town in years. “The people around here are pretty happy,” he said. “I’ve been here since 2001 and I haven’t seen a river like this.” Larry said that earlier this week, Bourke was recording a mammoth 42,000 megalitres a day, Louth was 33,000 megs, with a nine-metre wall of water passing the town. Tilpa was recording 26,000 mgs a day. The flow at Bourke is expected to peak at 10.4 metres, with minor flooding, and further inflows from the Castlereagh and Namoi River floods are expected to extend the high flow at Bourke until

Chinese show interest in our wine By BEN PISCIONERI UP to 15,000 cases of Sunraysia-produced wine could be exported to China each year in the wake of a visit to Mildura this week by two Chinese businessmen. The businessmen, Gary Ye and C.L Zhou, spent two days in the district this week, through their connection with Sunraysia entrepreneur Don Carrazza, investigating locally produced wines. It follows a desire by Mr Zhou to introduce Australianproduced wine into the fledgling Chinese consumer market, through his own network. Mr Zhou’s associate, Gary Ye, said the wine would be sold within a city about 200 kilometres from Shanghai. Mr Ye said the majority of wine sold in this area is from Spain, Chile, Italy and America. “At the moment they get mainly Spanish wine, wine from Chile, but Mr Zhou wants to add Australian wines,” he said. “He believes Australia has a good reputation.” This week’s visit was a fact-finding mission for the

Chinese men, co-ordinated through Don Carrazza, who was instrumental in bringing the two men to Mildura, and believes there is significant potential in the relationship.

Mr Ye said many Chinese were still adjusting their palates to wine. “Some like wine, but many still have their old habits, like drinking beer or Chinese rice wine,” he said. “But as the Western culture gets into China, they realise that wine, especially red wine, is more healthy than rice wine. “We are changing slowly to drinking the red wine instead of the rice wine, but it takes time to learn how to drink red wine, but certainly they are changing.” He said Australian wine was growing in popularity, despite the competition from other countries. “When you walk into a Chinese supermarket for example, you would see lots of red wines from lots of different countries, such as Spain, Chile, Portugal, Italy and America,” Mr Ye said. “But as far as I know, Australian wine also sells well in China.” Mr Zhou’s plan, once he finds an Australian wine which suits his needs, is to create an exclusive label, effectively marketing his own

“These things don’t happen overnight, but at least we’ve had the honour of them coming to Mildura, and that’s a big plus for our region.” – Don Carrazza “There is potential. China is a growing market. China has got the opportunity to take a lot of wine from this area and they don’t mind trading with the Australian people, so there’s an opportunity for benefit for both parties, and this could grow into something very big,” he said. “So it’s a matter of establishing that relationship and from there on, I feel the sky’s the limit.”

• WINE DEAL: Don Carrazza and Chinese businessmen Gary Ye and C.L Zhou. brand of wine. His visit to Mildura this week included talks with Vintage Traders, Best Bottlers and representatives from an Adelaide-based labeling firm. Mr Ye said the initial plan was to import a minimum of 10 containers of Australian wine, equivalent to between

12,000 and 15,000 cases per year, all of it red wine. But he admitted Sunraysia wasn’t the only area he and Mr Zhou were visiting during their stay in Australia. He left Mildura on Tuesday afternoon to visit wine industry representatives in Griffith.

But Mr Carrazza said the fact that Mr Ye and Mr Zhou visited Mildura was a positive sign. “These things don’t happen overnight, but at least we’ve had the honour of them coming to Mildura, and that’s a big plus for our region,” he said.

Making Victoria FireReady:

Victoria’s regional and coastal areas are great to visit, but make sure you’re FireReady.

Summer is a great time to experience Victoria’s beautiful countryside and stunning coastal areas. But summer is also bushfire season, so it’s important to always take the following precautions before travelling and when you’re in these areas. • If you are in a bushﬁre prone area and a Code Red Fire Danger Rating is declared, the safest option is to leave the night before or early in the morning.

• Stay aware of weather conditions and the Fire Danger Rating. • For the latest ﬁre warnings, listen to ABC Local Radio, commercial radio stations or Sky News television, go to cfa.vic.gov.au or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667. • Visit the CFA website for handy tips and information on travelling or holidaying in bushfire prone areas.

One of the Earth’s naturally occurring organisms could hold the key to the world’s battle with carbon emissions. In the future we may well use...

Algae to combat greenhouse gases By BEN PISCIONERI RESEARCHERS at James Cook University (JCU) in Townsville have been investigating how different forms of algae react with carbon (CO2) and the results have been encouraging. They’ve been so encouraging trials are set to commence at some of Australia’s biggest power stations to see how much of an impact algae can have in recycling the millions of tonnes of CO2 produced by them each year. The trials are a collaborative effort between JCU and Melbournebased MBD Energy Limited. Pilot carbon capture and recycling plants are planned at Loy Yang in Victoria, Eraring Energy in New South Wales and Tarong Energy in Queensland. Member for Mildura Peter Crisp recently attended the opening of the Algal Research and Development Facility at JCU in Townsville and witnessed the technology in action, and even tasted the results. He believes it could be a significant tool in the fight to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. “We’re all worried about the effect of CO2 on climate change, and what we’ve got to work out is the best way to go about solving the problem,” he said. “I think there are two ways. One is affordable avoidance. And there are ways we can do that - fluoro lighting is one little way, a whole lot of things we can do that are affordable avoidance, cutting the amount of energy we use, therefore cutting

“There are many means of practical adaption and algae is one that I’m particularly interested in.” – Peter Crisp the amount of emissions. “The other one is what I call practical adaption. We’re going to have to adapt to this. Technology got us into this problem and we’re going to have to rely on technology getting us out of it because I don’t think any of us are going to go back to using candles and caves. “We’re not going to go without

our air-conditioning, we’re not going to go without our plasma televisions, no matter what people may say about how much energy they use. We are not going to turn the lights out. So we’re going to have to practically adapt. “There are many means of practical adaption and algae is one that I’m particularly interested in.” In a nutshell, algae in water, with CO2, sunlight and other nutrients has been shown to grow quickly and can be harvested and processed to produce oils for the production of plastic and fuel (such as biodiesel) and protein (low-methane stockfeed). The plan is to set up large algal plants at the base of power stations, where they would absorb the CO2 produced and convert it. “They (students and scientists) have been doing these tests on a laboratory bench-top for a long period of time and now they’re actually building a several-acre test facility to take it off the desktop and then from that test facility they’re going to put it next to power stations,” Mr Crisp said. Mr Crisp said power stations are the ideal locations to test the new technology, for several reasons. Firstly, there are huge buffer zones around power stations for safety reasons, which is a throwback to the 1950s, when they would occasionally explode, though thanks to modern science, this is very much a rarity. These buffer zones are the perfect location to house algal plants there’s enough room for them and

• ALL ABOUT ALGAE: Member for Mildura Peter Crisp, LEFT, gets ready to sample the results of the CO2/algae conversion process in its raw form, which has the same nutrient value as fish oil, meanwhile Queensland Premier Anna Bligh, ABOVE, was on hand for the opening of the Algal Research and Development Facility at JCU in Townsville. BELOW: One stage of the algae rapid multiplication process, LEFT, and the algae nursery. it’s close enough to absorb the CO2 produced by the power stations. Secondly, by targeting power stations, scientists are targeting the biggest producers of CO2. “Fifty percent of Australia’s CO2 is at the power station. So if you want to have a big hit at reducing our CO2, that’s the target,” Mr Crisp said. Other major CO2 producers include transport, which contributes 13 percent of emissions, but Mr Crisp expects that figure to drop, and electricity production to increase, indicating the need to concentrate on power stations. “As we move to electric vehicles, transport’s share will go down and power stations’ will go up,” he said. Mr Crisp said if the technology works in practice, it could go a long way to reaching the five percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020, which is the target set by the Federal Government. “We’ve got to meet a five percent target by 2020, so if we grab 10 percent of our flu gases at our power stations, we meet our five percent emissions target,” he said.

“We’ve got some really do-able solutions out there and I think algae is one of them.” While he remains optimistic about the upcoming trials, Mr Crisp said the algae solution isn’t without its problems. For example, the La Trobe Valley isn’t subjected to the amount of sunlight as Townsville, where most of the algal tests have been performed, so it remains to be seen how efficient the process will work with less sunlight. Though building larger algal plants could be a solution. Secondly, power stations run 24-hours a day, while the algal process can only work in the presence of sunlight, meaning it won’t work at night. However, even with these problems, Mr Crisp hopes the positives will far outweigh the negatives. “It’s not a total solution, but we’re looking at getting just 10 percent of those flu gases taken care off, or part thereof, which combined with other means of CO2 capture, should make a big difference,” he said.

Boost for fish stocks THE Wentworth Angling Club will do its part to help replenish fish stocks in the Murray River tomorrow by releasing thousands of Golden Perch and Murray Cod fingerlings. Murray Darling Fisheries, based in Wagga, has provided 7273 Gold-

Urgent talks on fruit fly By BEN PISCIONERI ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S been a difficult week for table grape growers caught in the 15-kilometre suspension zone enforced in the wake of last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Queensland fruit fly detection in Mildura. Growers within the suspension zone have been faced with the prospect of putting their fruit through cold disinfestation, for both domestic and some international markets, or not being able to move it at all. This posed significant problems for growers, not just because of the 14 to 18-day delay caused by the treatment process, but because there are few growers with cold disinfestation equipment. It triggered a flying visit to Melbourne yesterday by Australian Table Grape Association (ATGA) chief executive Jeff Scott for emergency talks with Victorian Department of Primary Industries officials. Mr Scott said yesterday those talks may have produced a breakthrough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hopeful of an outcome that will put the onus back on growers to conduct their own inspection processes,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Under the proposal, growers would be required to sign a plant health declaration for each shipment of fruit leaving the 15-kilometre suspension zone, which includes growers in Mildura, Merbein, Red Cliffs, Irymple and part of Cardross. The declaration would require growers to confirm they have not sighted any fruit fly stings on their fruit. Mr Scott said that if the proposal became a reality, it would only allow untreated fruit to markets in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane - markets without pest-free status - but it would be a significant improvement on the current scenario. He said this procedure would stay in place while the DPI continued itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eradication/ survey process in Mildura. However, should another fruit fly be detected in Mildura during that period, such a process would cease immediately. Mr Scott said Sunraysia growers would be informed over coming days if there was agreement with the DPI. The Australian Table Grape Association can be contacted on 5021 5718 or info@atga.com. au.

between 10 and 15 years. He estimated about 100,000 fingerlings would have been released into the Murray during that time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During the past two years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve released about 8000 fingerlings each year alone,â&#x20AC;? Mr Maynard said. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;&#x201A; ROOM TO GROW: These were among 8000 fingerlings released at Fort Courage last year.

More than 100 years ago it was the saviour of the Australian outback, a hardy beast of burden, leading early explorers into regions where horses and livestock perished in their hundreds. Now the camel is seen as either a pest, a valuable food resource, or a viable business for overseas racing, milking and breeding. As ALAN ERSKINE reports itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all aboutâ&#x20AC;Ś

Making a killing out of camels THERE are an estimated one million feral camels in the Australian outbackâ&#x20AC;Ś they cover about 40 percent of the NT alone, and their population is increasing at the rate of 100,000 a year. They are treated as a pest by the Government and graziers and slaughtered in their thousands, but there are others who believe the camel is a valuable food source and a viable and highly-profitable industry (see Camels, an outback opportunity, next page). But in the meantime, the NT Government has declared war on thousands of thirsty, marauding camels annoying residents of outback communities, emptying or fouling water holes, and destroying fences, property and vegetation. In the past month, around 6000 feral camels have invaded Docker River, a community 500km southwest of Alice Springs, in search of water. They have torn up vital water mains and sewerage pipes, and even taken water from the top of air-conditioning units. The Territory government has provided emergency funding for a cull. This week, helicopters are being used to herd the animals 15km outside the town, where they will be shot and left to rot in the desert.

Local Government Minister Rob Knight has been quoted as saying the situation is â&#x20AC;&#x153;critical,â&#x20AC;? with the community of 350 under siege by marauding camels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are smashing up the infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water supply was at risk of contamination after several dead and rotting camels were found in wells. Planes have been unable to

a lot like beef, and is very low in cholesterol, and free of pesticide residues and chemicals. Mr Dann has been a pastoralist for years. Two years ago he restarted an abandoned abattoir 30km northwest of Alice Springs to process free-range beef and camel meat. He sees huge growth prospects, and is trying to fast-track accreditation with the Australian

level accreditation, he will move from processing about 40 camels a week to more than 200. His firm sells camel steaks, mince and sausages through consumer outlets in Darwin and Alice Springs. The firm is also working on consumer education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once a person has tried camel meat the yuck factor is dispelled,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dann says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The meat tastes so similar to beef

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are creating havoc... Just last month we shot 300 camels while mustering and three years ago we shot and removed nearly 2000 camels from our property, but it had very little effect.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jan Ferguson use the landing strip because of roaming camels, children are at risk because they want to play with the young camels, taking the risk of being trampled, and some residents are too scared to leave their homes. At least one Territory business has come up with a partial solution. Central Australian meat producer Territory Camel is selling camel steaks and sausages throughout the Territory, and wants to export the product to 26 countries around the world. The firmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s managing director Garry Dann says camel meat tastes

Quarantine Inspection Service for a full export licence, mainly for Middle-East countries, where camel meat is highly regarded. A fullgrown male camel is worth $300 at the abattoir. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great resource,â&#x20AC;? Mr Dann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like seeing them shot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it is good meat just going to waste.â&#x20AC;? And he says the boning, packing and management of animals in the paddocks creates work for remote indigenous people and others. He already has many in his employ. Mr Dann said if he gets top-

that even expert cattlemen have been tricked over a camel T-bone.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, environmental groups say the feral camels are posing a major threat to rare and endangered Australian wildlife, destroying their water holes and vegetation that is home to hundreds of species of Australian marsupials, reptiles and birds. Managing Director of the Desert Knowledge research centre, Jan Ferguson, said the camels were causing havoc with desert ecosystems, Aboriginal cultural heritage and the pastoral industry. She said a recent detailed study

found that wild camels inflicted around $15m in economic damage a year on an area covering onethird of the continent. The pastoral industry loses millions every year in wrecked water points, windmills and fences, stock and production. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extinction levels of Australian native desert animals are already among the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest. The impact of introduced feral animals competing for scarce resources of feed and water is a major cause of this,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The aim of the control program is not to eliminate feral camels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is considered almost impossible. It is to limit their numbers to a level that allows indigenous species to survive.â&#x20AC;? Graziers are at their witsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; end trying to cope with the camel crisis. Pastoralists want immediate action. Sharon Oldfieldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cattle station Cowarie, bordering the Simpson Desert National Park in SAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north, about 280km from Marree, has been under siege from camels for the past six years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are creating havoc,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just last month we shot 300 camels while mustering and three years ago we shot and removed nearly 2000 camels from our property, but it had very little effect.â&#x20AC;?

He was a champion sky-diver who developed an interest in the outback, indigenous Australians, camels, desert treks and other adventures, and as a guide for major film companies. Paddy McHugh tells the Mildura Weekly’s ALAN ERSKINE about…

Camels, an Aussie outback opportunity OUTBACK camel hunter, guide and adventurer Paddy McHugh believes State and Federal Governments and graziers are doing themselves a serious disservice, wasting time and money, and destroying a potential multi-million dollar industry with continued culls of feral camels. The man who has worked closely with indigenous groups for three decades said Aboriginal people had in recent years been subtly fed untruths regarding the camel ‘problem.’ He is appalled by wanton slaughter of camels in the past, and a new $20 million campaign that will kill thousands more camels in an aerial and ground cull in the Northern Territory in coming weeks. “What is about to happen will have a very dramatic impact on Aboriginal society, the environment and how people live in this remote area of Australia,” Paddy said. “The planned cull of a valuable resource will result in remote communities losing at least $100 million in direct income, and it will be a missed opportunity, an opportunity to create another great rural industry and a business that suits the way of life in remote outback Australia.” Paddy’s viewpoint is backed by veterinarian Alex Tinson, director of the Scientific Centre for Racing Camels in the United Arab Emirates, who describes the Australian feral camel as “an incredible resource for the planet.” He says camels are ideally placed to become “the new livestock animal” as countries such as Australia become hotter and drier with global warming. The

And just who is Paddy McHugh? AT the age of 17, Paddy McHugh began Skydiving in his home town of Townsville, immediately embraced the sport and spent the next few years travelling the country and jumping out of planes. He represented Australia several times at World championships, and in 1983 was appointed team leader of the Australian delegation at the World Cup in Canada. After becoming a member of the board of directors of the Australian Parachute Federation, and as director of coaching for the Queensland Parachute council, Paddy took part in many competitions and display jumps, but says the spectacular closing ceremony of the Commonwealth games in Brisbane in 1982 was the highlight of his jumping career. He later developed a strong interest in camels, and the Australian outback, after accompanying older brother Greg into the desert on a camel trek in 1975. Tragically, leukemia claimed Greg’s life, but Paddy continued the legacy, and over the past 30 years has walked camel safaris over thousands of kilometres through Australia’s Simpson Desert and other regions, and bought and sold thousands of camels. He has organised camel catching operations in remote Australia, and for three decades has sold racing camels to the United Arab Emirates, milking camels to Thailand, and working camels to Japan, New Zealand and across Australia. As part of his camel catching and selling enterprises he says he has always worked closely with remote aboriginal groups on a variety of projects. drought-adapted camels are highly resistant to disease, and produce lean milk and meat loaded with vitamins, minerals and disease-fighting compounds.

Another area of his business is organising major outback events and adventures, including The Boulia Desert Sands race event, The Harry Redford Cattle drive, Sheikh Zayed International Camel Endurance race, The Bergin McHugh Expedition, Journey Across the Country and numerous crossings of the Simpson desert and other adventures. Paddy is also well-known internationally, and operates as a logistics expert and guide for international film crews ‘shooting’ remote

Paddy has been involved over many years, catching and exporting live camels for racing in the United Arab Emirates, a sport he says is worth a billion dol-

and hard-to-access parts of Australia, as well as organising tours for private groups throughout Australia or other interesting destinations anywhere in the world. He has followed in the footsteps of Burke and Wills, and in 1995 was one of 12 people and 10 camels to complete a seven-week 800km scientific and recreational trek the length of the Darling River, from Bourke to Wentworth. Six years later Paddy led a team of 200 modern-day explorers, 100 camels, 30 horses and a dozen wag-

lars in Qatar alone. What the Government is planning, he says, is not entirely their fault. He believes they have been told a lot of untruths, and should under

no circumstances ethically or morally allow the cull to take place. “It will be a huge drain on taxpayer money, a wasted effort and will have a nega-

Stories from the outback

Origins of the Marree Man OUR Page One reference to the Marree Man in our story about outback publican Laurie Kalms last week certainly created some interest…and a bit of confusion, with many readers wanting to know the origins of the ‘Man.’ It was around 1995, and eccentric Adelaide Hills identity and artist Bardius Goldberg indicated to some close friends, including TV producer Glenn Adamus, that he wanted to do something to leave his mark on Earth before he died. Bardius was already wellknown in the Red Centre in the 80’s, doing some amazing things as a sculptor and artist – like the famous dot painting at Ipolera in the NT, and the 40ft green cross at Alice Springs. Friends taught him the basics of the GPS system, and Bardius told them later he had obtained $10,000 in sponsorship, and been given the use of an old ‘Cat D-6 dozer. Retired drilling contractor John Henderson later told the media he loaned Goldberg the GPS, and gave him 600 litres of diesel for the ‘Cat. Adamus told the media in 1998 that Goldberg phoned him two years before the Marree Man figure was discovered (in 1998), to tell him simply; “I’ve done the painting - I’ve left my mark on the Earth.” Around this time, Goldberg

had moved from Alice Springs to Hahndorf. He used his savings to buy 18 hectares of land on Kangaroo Island, and planned to plant thousands of eucalyptus trees in the shape of a giant kangaroo so that passing planes could see it. It was also reported that he bought a house in Snowtown, SA, and was planning to give the town a lift by secretly building a Virgin Mary into a wall and having it appear and disappear from time to time by plastering over it. Adamus said his eccentric friend had made and lost two fortunes in his 61 years. He died after getting into a fight with a younger man in a pub in 2002. One of his teeth got dislodged, he refused dental treatment and died from complications The Marree Man is more than 4km tall, and said to be 28km in circumference. Although now just a faint outline, there was a time when it could clearly be seen from space. Aboriginal groups and the State Government have resisted efforts to have Marree Man more clearly defined. The world’s largest geoglyph, it is etched into a huge sandy plateau about 20km from Marree, just outside the 200,000 square kilometre Woomera Rocket Range prohibited area.

It was her final year of a medical course back home in Vienna. A 28-year-old with the world at her feet, starting with the Australian outback. She and her boyfriend planned their trip well… plenty of food and water, maps, and a 4WD. But when it got bogged, and they decided to walk to get help, it turned to tragedy. The Mildura Weekly’s ALAN ERSKINE has just returned from an outback trek to Marree, William Creek and Lake Eyre, and says that even with water, you just can’t walk 60km in our summer, and that’s why the young medico paid the ultimate price in what became…

Another lonely death in the SA outback • IN MEMORY: The memorial to medical student Caroline Grossmueller, 28, where she perished near Lake Eyre. It was erected by family and friends.

THE Australian outback around Marree, William Creek and Lake Eyre is a harsh, remote and unforgiving place in the fierce heat of summer. The mercury often peaks around 50 degrees Celsius – the record out here is said to be 61 degrees …there is little shade, water holes are almost non-existent, towns are few and far between, station properties are isolated, and basic first aid or medical facilities are a long, long way away. Even so, it’s relatively easy to survive if you follow the ‘rules.’ An estimated 80,000 people prove this by visiting the William Creek-Marree area of outback SA every year. You just need plenty of water and food, maps, basic safety equipment – and lots of common sense. That’s why some people around Marree and William Creek are still puzzled by the tragic story of the young female Austrian medical student who perished at Lake Eyre 10 years ago. Caroline Grossmueller was 28 when she and her travelling companion Karl Goeschka, 32, left the Wil-

liam Creek Hotel to travel the 70 kilometres to Lake Eyre as part of their Darwin to Cairns four-wheel drive holiday. The pair wanted to see as much of the Aussie outback as they could, traveling in one of the highly-recognisable and well-equipped Britz mobile homes, a converted Toyota fourwheel drive land cruiser. On December 7, 1999, and following the common practice in the outback, the couple ‘signed out’ in the William Creek hotel Search and Rescue book before leaving. They were told that if they hadn’t reported in by the next day, staff would “hit the panic button.” But an inquest later heard that the young man looking after the hotel for his father that day started a new book because he couldn’t find the normal one, and hadn’t told anyone about the travellers before leaving William Creek to return home to Horsham in Victoria. Caroline and Karl, meanwhile, travelled 10km out the Oodnadatta Track before turning off and driv-

ing the 60km along an isolated bush track to the Halligan Bay tourist shelter near Lake Eyre. Here, their 4WD became stuck in sand, and not being familiar with all capabilities of their camper, they were unsuccessful in their attempts to free the vehicle. The tourists were at a recognised bush camping area, where a large water tank provided hundreds of litres of water. Their van also carried 50 litres of water, they had plenty of fuel, and enough food to survive for weeks. Karl said later he and Caroline were confident the young man at the hotel would raise the alarm when they didn’t return, and that someone would come to their rescue. But after two days waiting at the banks of the dry salt lake, there was no sign of help. Caroline, a trained mountain walker, expressed concern to Karl that somehow they had been forgotten. She apparently told Karl they shouldn’t wait any longer, and they set off to walk the 60 kilometres back to the Oodnadatta Track. • Continued Page 13

Camels, an Aussie outback opportunity • From Page 9 He said the organisation pushing for this cull is Desert Knowledge, based in Alice Springs. “They produce wonderful and expensive desk top books, papers and reports,” Paddy says, “and now they have produced the ultimate ’bible,’ a very one- sided view of what they believe should be seen as a rural problem.” “It has cost them a million dollars, and in my view is an appalling publication littered with mistakes, inaccuracies, unproven assumptions and a whole lot of double

talk, pages of irrelevant information which has no bearing whatsoever on the camel. “The report is totally focused on justifying the cull, barely giving lip service to any alternatives such as the development of a commercial industry.” Paddy said the group demonstrated ‘lateral thinking’ when they “unbelievably” discussed the use of “camel pox” as a possible way of reducing camel numbers. “Now that’s a charming idea for a slow death,” he said. “Now they have a $20 million culling

campaign. Shooters will spend this money burning up fuel flying around the desert, having a wonderful time killing a few animals, but not making a dent in the camel population. In eight years they will have to spend many more millions doing the same thing. Paddy and others have suggested a better, longterm solution that will reduce the feral camel population, provide jobs for hundreds of people, and a huge new industry in catering and animal export. He says it’s a far better proposition than culling. “A big camel weighs

about a tonne. That’s a million tonnes of valuable meat left to rot in the sun… each camel probably has about 190 kg of carbon in its body. As it rots and absorbs oxygen, this carbon will increase into about 700 kg of carbon dioxide which will then dissipate into the atmosphere. “We are an arid land. Why don’t we farm an arid animal. Just in meat sales alone it could mean half a billion dollars in domestic and export earnings, and hundreds of jobs. These jobs, and income, is vitally important to the Aboriginal people.”

Stories from the outback

They smell, have a nasty bite, notoriously bad breath, are ungainly, and can be very temperamental…but inland Australia wouldn’t be where it is today without the camel. The Mildura Weekly’s ALAN ERSKINE is just back from visiting a mate in the former ‘camel capital of Australia,’ Marree in outback SA, and says a bush publican with a big heart to match a giant frame has pledged big dollars in a bid to build a…

Museum for our Afghan cameleers LEGENDARY Aussie bush publican Laurie Kalms, now at Marree in the far north of SA, is determined that the role the Afghan cameleers played in helping open up Australia’s vast interior in the mid to late 1800’s will never be forgotten. Big Laurie, 67, has put aside an undisclosed amount, but what I know to be a substantial sum of cash, to help the descendants of those pioneers build a museum in Marree as a lasting tribute to the Afghans and their camels, known world-wide as ‘the ships of the desert.’

The publican of the Great Northern Hotel at Marree believes, as many do, that exploration of Australia’s vast interior would have taken far longer had it not been for the work of the camels and their handlers. On the ‘flip’ side, the camels are now in plague proportions, especially in the far north of SA and the Northern Territory, with one urgent aerial cull last month reportedly cutting camel numbers by 3000 in the Docker River region alone. The Federal Government, realising the seriousness of the situation, chipped

in $19 million. It’s a far cry from 150 years ago, when early Australian outback explorers came to rely heavily on this amazing desertdwelling beast of burden. It’s a role that many Aussies, particularly those in capital cities, are virtually unaware of. In the mid-1800’s, expeditions were setting out regularly from the nation’s capitals, with rich rewards on offer for the first explorers to map the continent, to discover natural resources, and find new regions for settlement.

lonely, desolate and droughtstricken land were fighting a losing battle using horses, bullocks and wagons, and one of the solutions was to bring in camels and their handlers. Laurie Kalms, known widely as ‘The Big K,’ agrees it was a pivotal time in Australia’s history, and for more than 50 years these ungainly but sturdy beasts and their handlers were a vital cog in the Aussie exploration wheel, supply route and for major projects. They led dozens of exploration parties, carrying enormous amounts of supplies,

food, mining equipment, building materials, mail - even water - to remote settlements. They transported tools, equipment and materials for the surveying and construction of some of Australia’s earliest, and greatest, infrastructure projects, including the Overland Telegraph, Trans-Australian Railway, and huge mining projects. The great pastoralist Thomas Elder, founding ‘father’ of the Elders empire, was one of the first to see the value of the camel. He imported some, set up a camel breeding program

at Beltana, not far from Marree, and recruited handlers from Pakistan and Afghanistan. The camels were an instant success, and were used to transport goods from as early as 1839, and in 1846 the first one was used in the John Ainsworth Horrocks expedition. (He later ordered it killed after it moved while he was re-loading his rifle, causing the gun to fire. He lost several fingers and some teeth, and died several weeks later in an Adelaide hospital, aged just 28.) • Continued next page

DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS • CAMEL CAPERS: One of only two ‘camels’ remaining in Marree today, a far cry from years ago when up to 1500 camels had Marree as a base. This one is made from wood off-cuts, in the resting position, with the neck and head forming the basis for a sun dial. The only other camel – a real one – is kept in the yards near the town’s cemetery. BELOW – One of the impressive stained glass windows in the Marree Hotel to honour both the cameleers, and the Ghan train. one camel carrying a piano out to a station homestead! The vast majority of cameleers, mainly young or middle-aged men, arrived in Australia alone, leaving wives and families behind, and having agreed to three-year contracts. Families were not allowed to accompany them under the then White Australia Policy. It wasn’t uncommon for Australian outback towns to have three distinct areas - one for Europeans, one for Aboriginals and one for cameleers – Marree is a typical example – and they called their settlements ‘Ghantown.’ This social division is even reflected in the Marree cemetery. At Marree, formerly known as Hergott Springs (they got rid of the German name after the 1914-18 war),

the cameleers, all devout Muslims, built a mosque that served as a place of worship, and as a gathering place that offered the cameleers a sense of community ownership and acceptance that was difficult to find elsewhere. The remains of the mosque at Marree, built in 1861, are the oldest in Australia. It is around this area of Marree that Laurie Kalms and a dedicated group of townsfolk, led by descendants of those early afghans, want to build their Afghan museum. It will include a tribute to the legendary community leader Bejah Dervish, a tall, proud man widely respected, and who was decorated for his military service. Laurie is hoping for action soon. “There’s a meeting in Port Augusta on January 24 that will hopefully form a steering committee to apply for State and Federal Government funding for this important historic project,” he said. ‘The Big K’ agrees with many early Australians who said at the time of the devastating drought following Federation in 1901 that had it not been for the Afghan and his Camels… Wilcannia, White Cliffs, Tibooburra, Milparinka, Marree and other towns, centres of reasonable population and of great importance on trade routes, would have practically ceased to exist.

Another lonely death in the outback • From Page 10 Karl later told police that after several hours walking in the dead of night and part of the next day, after resting in a tent – the only shade they had – he couldn’t go on. After Caroline insisted on pushing on, Karl gave her several litres of water, and he took the remaining three litres and walked back to their vehicle. As an experienced walker, Caroline estimated she could do about 4-5 km an hour in the cool of the night, making it possible to do the 60km to the Oodnadatta Track in less than 1214 hours, just enough time

before the heat of the day would become unbearable. Experienced bushmen said later she clearly underestimated the roughness of the terrain, the harsh climate, lack of shade, maybe also the weight of the water containers, and the fact that her water would have been unbearably hot. After walking more than 30km through the night and in the heat of the day, overcome by heat stroke, exposure and exhaustion, Caroline wrote a brief note explaining her situation before collapsing next to the bush track, where she died a lonely death. About three days later, on December 15, her body

was found by two German tourists. She had managed to walk 34 kilometres before collapsing. Her backpack still contained six litres of water. Karl was found the same day, distressed and agitated, but safe and well in the Britz van, and still with plenty of food and water. The story made headlines across Australia and the world, and after a Coronial inquiry, several measures were recommended to ensure such a tragedy never happens again. Among them was that advice be given to all outback travelers, especially people unfamiliar with the

Australian outback, never to leave their vehicle, carry plenty of water and food, advise people of their destination and ETA, carry some sort of signal device, and learn four-wheel driving techniques. • FOOTNOTE: It appeared that the couple’s 4WD was in “axle-twist”, meaning that the front and rear axles were at an angle to each other. Since the differentials were not locked, this meant that power was not being applied to the wheels that were in contact with the sand, so no traction could be obtained, preventing the wheels from turning.

A decade later, 24 camels and three cameleers arrived in Melbourne to join the Burke and Wills expedition. Although this expedition ended in disaster with the loss of several lives, including those of Burke and Wills, the camels again proved their ability to survive the harsh and dry conditions of the Australian outback. By the late 1860s, most Australian states were importing camels and cameleers. In 1866, Samuel Stuckey imported more than 100 camels and 31 cameleers. Over the next 10 years, more and more camels and cameleers were brought to Australia as breeding programs and trading routes were established. They helped explore and open up vast areas of Queensland, SA, the Northern Territory and WA. It has been estimated that between1870 and1900 alone, more than 2000 cameleers and 15,000 camels came to Australia. The cameleers were instrumental in the success of some of early Australia’s most ambitious infrastructure projects. They carried food and supplies to the surveying and construction teams working on the Overland Telegraph, which ran through the heart of the continent between Adelaide and Darwin. When that job was finished the camels continued to carry supplies and mail to the settlements and townships that sprang up along the line. They also played a key role in the development of the rail link between Port Augusta and Alice Springs, a service widely known as the Afghan Express, and later the Ghan. The train’s emblem is an Afghan on a camel in recognition of their efforts in opening up the inhospitable interior to the rest of Australia. Columns of up to 70 camels in single file were not uncommon. Each was capable of carrying between 300-400kg, and there is a documented case of

It’s official: Aussies are scared of bugs! WITH the summer months in full swing, it’s only a matter of time before those annoying mozzies, flies, and other insects make their presence felt. And while it’s considered common practice to protect our homes from ‘creepy crawlies,’ according to a study conducted by the Mortein Insect Index (which surveyed 1000 Australians aged between 18 and 64), there’s a reason why we go to so much time and trouble to keep bugs at bay; we’re scared to death of the little critters. The survey found that six percent of respondents were prone to breaking into cold sweats at the sight of one, while more than

a third confessed to leaving their homes when a bug was around. A further 17 percent said their aversion to bugs was so great, they relied on someone else to remove them from their homes. The survey also revealed which insects are most feared by Australians, with cockroaches topping the list, followed by mosquitoes and fleas. And when one considers some of the insect world’s more surprising facts, it’s easy to see why we feel the they way we do. For example: One female cockroach can produce two million offspring in one year, with cockroaches able to enter homes by

Great opportunity for young artists IT’S a great opportunity to take your artistic abilities up a notch. That is how convenor, Sally Hederics, describes an innovative development program for young artists starting in Sunraysia tomorrow. Young artists across all mediums are being invited to be a part of the ‘Site Unseen’ project that will take the form of a series of workshops during the next few weeks and culminate in a performance as part of the Mildura Wentworth Arts Festival 2010. Site Unseen is a interdisciplinary, evolving work that will be created by those taking part under Sally’s guidance, and with the financial assistance of Melbourne’s Next Wave Festival. Sally said: “The project will provide a fantastic supportive and creative environment.” With no preconceived ideas, those taking part will be responsible for bringing a work alive from scratch. “However, one idea is that

the performance be based on a significant local event, or events, of the past... opening our eyes to the secrets that lie just below the surface of the ground we walk on,” Sally said. “It’s a starting point at least... where it goes from there will be up to the participants.” Those participants will need to attend a series of workshops planned for this month, February and in March leading up to the performance at the Perry Sandhills during the festival from February 26 to March 14. The January workshops have been scheduled for tomorrow and Sunday; and for the next two weekends, as well as the weekend of February 6 and 7, and March 5, 6 and 7. “During the workshop process those taking part will learn to discuss, develop and experiment... to set their ideas free,” Sally said. Interested young artists can contact Sally for more information on 0410 737 921 or by email at: sallyoyoy@hotmail.com.

swimming up toilets and sinks, while fleas are responsible for more human deaths than all of the world’s wars combined. However not all respondents expressed fear as their first instinct, with 18 percent saying their first response was to chase the bug in question around the house with spray, while 61 percent said their dislike for bugs was so powerful, they immediately become determined to kill every one in sight. And the method of removal? For 57 percent a can of insect spray was the preferred weapon of choice, while 24 percent still held a torch to the classic fly swatter.

• DEAD!: This, according to a recent survey, is apparently how we Australians much prefer our cockroaches.

Danny O’Neill, author of ‘Ancestral Streams, notes from the Murray Valley,’ continues his trip along the Shipwreck Coast, researching his next book. At Warrnambool, he contemplates the hazards that Sunraysia’s earliest settlers faced travelling to Australia, and there are many tales about…

The perils of a sea voyage IN these days of fast and relatively safe passenger jet travel, it’s very easy to forget that, even when the Chaffey Brothers settlement’s first blockies were arriving in the late 1800s, getting to Australia still took months, and could be very dangerous. In 1886, George Chaffey came from California at Alfred Deakin’s request to assess Victoria’s prospects for irrigation. After seeing Mildura Station’s productive garden, he encouraged his brothers and their families to follow. Over the ensuing years George made several more sea voyages, going to England at one stage to promote his irrigation settlement and seek investors. As a result, many settlers traveled from other

countries to Mildura. By then, early tragedies like the loss of the sailing ship Cataraqui in 1845, when 370 immigrants lost their lives in Bass Strait, had led to the building of lighthouses. Steam ships had also made sea travel much safer than at the beginning of the century. But even in 1892, the

sailing ship Newfield was wrecked on rocks at Peterborough, near Warrnambool, and nine people drowned. And as late as 1908, the four-masted iron barque Falls of Halladale, sailing from New York, was also wrecked there. Fortunately, all 29 crew and passengers survived. These, and other shipwrecks, are remembered at Warrnambool’s Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village, in its beautifully presented Great Circle Gallery. Here, among sailing era artifacts and model ships, are relics of many vessels wrecked on Victoria’s south coast. Perhaps best known is the Loch Ard disaster in 1878, in which 52 people died when the sailing ship struck Mutton Bird Island at the entrance to the gorge that now bears its name,

near Port Campbell. The gallery features a 1.5 metre high porcelain peacock, originally intended for display at Melbourne’s 1880 International Exhibition. It floated ashore in its packing case among the Loch Ard’s wreckage. After leaving the gallery, visitors go outside into the Maritime Village to wander among a fascinating mix of original, relocated and recreated buildings and boats. Atop Flagstaff Hill is Warrnambool’s 1859 stone lighthouse, just above the fortifications and guns of the city’s long disbanded Royal Victorian Volunteer Artillery detachment. These were added in the late 1870s when Australia feared attack by Russian ships. • Continued Page 23

Expanding the capabilities, and use, of Wentworth’s modest airstrip is not ‘fly in the sky’ stuff. A recently released report into the future of the airfield has identified a number of opportunities that could be the subject of an innovative business plan for the future and provides...

Solid grounding for future airfield planning By GRANT MAYNARD

“Is provide an invaluable framework for development into the future if that is what the community wants.” “Council regards the aerodrome as a significant regional asset, requiring a visionary approach to maximise its potential and deliver enhanced economic benefit to the region. “This study will enable Council staff to easily complete a business plan and funding submission, or submissions, for the works identified as being crucial to a viable future for the aerodrome.” The plan is the work of specialist airport consultants Rehbein AOS. The company has offices around the country, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Canberra, and came highly recommended.

After a thorough study of the aerodrome itself, and the wider region including Mildura’s Airport, the consultants identified four major areas of opportunity for Wentworth. These are sports and recreational aviation; flying training; commercial charter operations; and business, corporate and aerial work. There is, the plan/study said “significant opportunity to expand the existing use of the Wentworth Aerodrome by light and ultralight aircraft for sport and recreational purposes”. Already home to the Sunraysia Sport Aero Club (SSAC), the plan/study recognised the club organises a significant fly-in event every June, attracting about 50 aircraft and 120 people. “Larger rallies also take •

POTENTIAL: Wentworth’s modest aerodrome has plenty of potential, a consultant’s report says, but it would take an infrastructure upgrade worth hundreds of thousands, and possibly millions, of dollars. The aerodrome’s original hangar, now known as the Kevin J. Thomas Hangar, is still use, but it is a product of its time and any development at the airfield would have to include substantial new hangars in addition to those already erected on site by the SSAC.

of 40-60 aircraft.” There is also the opportunity, the plan/study says, for the aerodrome to be promoted to people wanting to visit some of the iconic attractions in the town. These included the Old Wentworth

Gaol; Pioneer World Museum; the ‘Fergie’ Tractor Monument; the restored paddle steamer P.S. Ruby; the Perry Sandhills and the junction of the Murray and Darling Rivers. • Continued Page 23

THE Wentworth Aerodrome of the future could be so radically different from today as to be almost unrecognisable. That is if owners – Wentworth Shire Council – can justify turning the findings, and vision, of a recent consultant’s report into a new reality. It won’t be cheap. The bill could run into the millions, at the very least hundreds of thousands, but there is the potential to stage the work to ease the financial burden. Among the consultant’s recommendations are a mammoth sealing program to provide an all-weather runway and, in the longerterm, a runway capable of catering for larger aircraft, as well as all-weather access to hangars and the aerodrome’s refuelling point. Then there is the provision of aircraft tie-down areas (with or without shade structures) to accommodate itinerant aircraft and, one of the cheaper innovations, the installation of a credit card reader at the aerodrome’s refuelling point. The plnning document offers plenty of food for thought, Wentworth Shire Mayor, Cr Margaret Thomson, acknowledges. However, the Mayor was quick to point out that while councillors had recently adopted the ‘Wentworth Airport Master Plan/Feasibility Study’, that action by no means obligated Council to proceed. “What it does,” she said,

Bike riders plan big rally tomorrow morning in support of more cycle-friendly facilities around the district as...

Mildura bucks global bicycle spending trend • READY TO ROLL: Cyclists from across the bike riding spectrum, like these off-roaders, RIGHT, will rally in Mildura tomorrow morning.

By GRANT MAYNARD THERE are just two municipalities in Victoria that spend less on bicycle infrastructure than Mildura, it has been claimed. That makes Mildura Rural City Council number 41 in the State for bicycle spending and flies in the face of trends both here, and abroad, where authorities throughout the developed world recognise cycling as an alternative, and viable, means of transport. Its proponents claim cycling is cheap, relatively fast and environmentally friendly, and in an age when communities are searching for alternatives to petrol guzzling, environmentally taxing motor transport, a viable alternative means of getting about. Some cities are going, or have gone, as far as to restrict motor vehicle access and parking in their CBDs in favour of the humble bicycle. That may be going a bit far in Mildura, members of the Sunraysia Bicycle User Group (SunBUG) acknowledge, however they claim our fair city can never truly be ‘the most

livable, people friendly community in Australia’ while the powers that be “continue to put all their financial efforts into supporting motor cars as their preferred form of transport”. A 2008 Bicycle Victoria study showed that Mildura had the third lowest expenditure on cycling infrastructure amongst Victoria’s 43 municipalities, but the city’s cyclists, and those throughout the district, are determined to see things change. SunBUG secretary, Michael Jobe, said: “In 2008 and, we understand for many years previously, expenditure was approximately 73 cents

MICHAEL Jobe is a Mildura fitness enthusiast who takes his cycling seriously. The affable cancer survivor is out on his bike most days, riding to work or exploring the many delights of the bike trails in the region. In 2007 he rode from Birdsville to the Gulf of Carpenteria in two sepa-

rate rides, and then in July last year he “took a little ride” from Darwin to Perth. He is now working on the second book in what is becoming a series detailing the many off-road bike rides in the Mildura region, all written with the benefit of first-hand experience.

per resident, compared to Warrnambool where $15.47 per resident was invested, or a whopping $18.96 in the Campaspe Shire.” “Although there is increased funding allocated by council this financial year – and we welcome that – the amount is still well below the minimum recommended of $5 per resident,” he said. “The cycling community does not expect a complete about turn by councillors, just a recognition that there are of other ways of making Mildura a more livable community by providing a better mix of council expenditure on infrastructure and facilities for cars

and other means of transport, like cycling.” To that end SunBUG has organised a public rally tomorrow morning from 9am in the car park on the corner of Lime Avenue and 9th Street to add a large dose of ‘people power’ to their lobbying strategy. Mr Jobe said: “We want to show our councillors the size, strength and passion of the cycling community in Mildura.” He extended an open invitation to cyclists of all stripes – recreational and social, competitive or commuting – to rally. “Those who do not ride,

but support cycling, and our quest for better infrastructure and facilities are also welcome,” Mr Jobe said. He said the rally would also be an opportunity for riders and supporters to express their disappointment about the recent decision of councillors not to fund a bicycle storage facility in the CBD. “Last month councillors voted to overturn a previous commitment to provide about $185,000 (matching) funding for an ‘end of journey’ bicycle storage facility. “Why? We understand because it would take up six car parking spaces. This is despite having just recently added an enormous number of new parking spaces in Pine Avenue just one street away. “One councillor reportedly even questioned whether there were many cyclists in Mildura, while another reportedly felt that it would not

be used because it was ‘too hot for cycling’. “The rally will also be an opportunity to let councillors know how important cycling is to the environment, health and fitness, fun and, in the context of the natural beauty of our region, for tourism. “We want to tell councillors that we need extra funding for bicycle infrastructure that will encourage more people to take up cycling... infrastructure like safe on-road bike lanes, dedicated bike lanes separated from cars, bike parking and storage facilities with watering points and more off-road recreational trails as a few examples.” SunBUG accepts that cycling is not for everyone. “But if we had better infrastructure to make it safer, and more convenient, more individuals who are interested would take it up,” Mr Jobe claimed.

The heat didn’t keep people away. The bargains were too good to resist – old enamel signs, oil cans and bottles, antique furniture, tobacco tins, pictures, signs, and a Jap sword that could probably tell some horror stories. ALAN ERSKINE was there as…

A life’s work goes under the hammer THE old sword, obviously an Aussie souvenir from a World War Two battle against the beaten Japanese, looked a bit battle scarred, but the gleam of the blade gave a hint as to the skill of the master craftsman who forged it. Thought to be at least 70, possibly 100 years old, the Katana (or Samurai) sword drew spirited bidding when it came under the hammer at a major clearing auction to formally wind up the Mildura business known as Gary’s Country Collectibles. The sword and its scabbard were among 800 items collected over 12 years of business by Gary Graham and his wife Fiona. It was an emotional day for Fiona. She told how Gary had put his heart and soul into their 15th Street business, building it up from virtually nothing to a client base of hundreds, and quality collectibles that were highly soughtafter. But she put everything in storage and locked the doors after Gary suffered a fatal heart attack four years ago, passing away at the age of 32. “I just didn’t have the

motivation to go on without him,” she said. “It has been four years of ups and downs, but finally I made the decision to sell everything we had collected, with the help of Ashley Burns at Stockdale and Leggo.” It took Fiona a month to document the huge collection, load it onto a truck, and put it on display in the old Pantry Direct building in readiness for the clearing auction last Saturday. The Katana sword went for $515. “Someone knew exactly what they were after,” Fiona said. “At metropolitan auctions, some of these

• GOING, GOING…Stockdale and Leggo auctioneer John Traeger gets ready to bring the hammer down on another of the collectibles put up by Fiona Graham (RIGHT). Among the 800 lots were original Castrol oil bottles and a big range of tobacco tins (LEFT), and sea travel chests dating back almost 100 years (LEFT). swords are fetching as much as $1500. “I was happy that local people were getting bargains… the main thing is, they were getting what they wanted. There were some serious collectors out there, and I know all the pieces we put up will be well looked after, and give pleasure to someone.” Fiona, who lived in Ouyen for most of her life, said Gary came to Mildura from Melbourne at an early age, went back to Melbourne but returned when the family bought a fruit property at Stewart. They met while Fiona was doing a course at TAFE, and

‘09

with both having an interest in antiques and other collectibles, formed a partnership with two others to run Annelyn’s Attic, and after the other partners decided to go their separate ways, Gary started his own business, running it from their 15th Street home. “We started off modestly, running it from the garage, then the shed and part of the house, and then building a bigger shed at the rear to hold all the stuff,” she said. “It was a busy time. We opened every day bar Monday, and people who knew the quality of what Garry collected came from all over the place… and a lot more would ring to put in a

request for a specific item.” Fiona recognised many of those faces at Saturday’s clearing auction. There were people who had made inquiries about old furniture, travel chests, old tobacco tins, lamps, fans, bottles, cans, pottery, knives, books, paintings… and a whole lot more. Stockdale and Leggo’s auction team, led by Ashley Burns, worked in shifts, starting at 9.30am and bringing the hammer down on the last item just before five o’clock. According to Ashley, bidding was brisk. People had to be quick. Everything had to go, and there was nothing with a reserve price. The auction drew a big crowd from

Mildura, as well as collectors from as far away as Melbourne, Ballarat, Broken Hill, Bendigo and Colac. The more unusual lots were quickly snapped up. As well as the sword, they included vintage lamps, a Cohns enamel sign ($275), pink milk lamp ($425), Japanese war knife ($325), various tobacco tins (up to $70 each), glass butter churn ($200) and a wooden cart ($375). • Continued Page 20

Mildura Weekly - 15/1/10

She has the world at her feet, with TV presenting, Bollywood acting, media work, speaking engagements, charity work and business interests… but at present she is more concerned at the level of violent attacks against Indians in Melbourne. She has been in contact with the Mildura Weekly, with a special message of hope...

Tania’s appeal for racial harmony MERBEIN’S Tania Zaetta has appealed for calm, patience and cultural understanding in the wake of the latest spate of what metropolitan media has labelled ‘curry bashings’ of Indian people in Melbourne. Having lived in India for the past two years, and with a good understanding of the gentle nature, hopes and dreams of its people, Tania said she would hate to see the metropolitan racial problems spill over to places like Mildura and other regional centres, which have growing Indian populations. In a series of emails to the Mildura Weekly, Merbein’s favourite ambassador says she has been sought out in recent weeks for many interviews on the situation from the world’s print and electronic media.

Keeping up to date from Koh Samui Although currently isolated from the situation, living and working on the Thai island resort of Koh Samui while writing her autobiography, Tania said she has kept up to date with latest developments via news reports, and is appalled at the situation. “India and Australia have worked very hard over the years to bridge the gap between our two countries,” she said. “It is both embarrassing and disappointing if these horrible attacks in Melbourne are purely racially motivated against Indian students. “These young people have chosen to come to Australia – over any other country – for their education, and I can understand and sympathise with India’s frustration, disappointment and an-

ger at the situation. “A peaceful solution needs to be found as soon as possible.” Tania said she had been doing her best, through the world’s media and her contacts in India and Australia, to ease the situation, and help people understand how much the Australian economy relied on the Indian market, which brought in billions of dollars to our educational system alone. “There are 250 million people under the age of 20 living in India,” she said. “Most of them are keen for a good education, and they and their families are prepared to spend the money to fulfil their dream. “It’s a market that companies and universities around the world are competing for, and we should be doing everything in our power to become the ‘go to’ country.” Tania said Australia could rightly be proud of its multi-cultural heritage, and its tolerance and acceptance of migrants from overseas. “This country was built on multi-culturalism,” she said. “I am of Italian descent, proud of it, and proud also to be Australian. We should all be working together, and certainly tolerant of different lifestyles, ideas and beliefs.” As part of her unofficial racial tolerance ‘campaign,’ Tania has pleaded with the Indian film industry not to boycott Australia over the spate of attacks on Indian students in Melbourne, saying

essary steps to make the country safe for tourists and actors. There have been about 70 attacks in Melbourne on Indians in the past year, including five in recent weeks. Tania, star of the feature film Salaam Namaste and who also featured in the Bollywood movies Bunty and Babli, and Mr Black Mr White, said the Indian film industry had done wonders for Australian tourism. “There was an amazing response to Salaam Namaste which was shot completely in Melbourne,” she said. “In the 30 days after it was first aired in India, visa applications to Australia went up by 17 percent.”

Looking forward to coming home Tania said she was looking forward to catching up with many Indian friends in Australia, including some in Mildura, during her next trip home, although she says she is in for a busy year in 2010. It didn’t take long for the Thai media to find out they have a Bollywood star in their midst, and Tania has been kept busy with newspaper and magazine interviews, last week making the front cover of Koh Samui’s leading tourism magazine (LEFT). “The Bollywood movies are big over here at the moment,” she said. “I am also lucky in that my United Kingdom action TV show, ‘Mission Implausible’ is on air through South-East Asia at the moment. “But even with my film and photographic commitments, and media work, I can still find time to work on my autobiography, and I also get to show some of my friends from Australia the wonderful sights of the island and its attractions when they visit.”

Pigeon sale PIGEONS as young as four weeks will be up for grabs this Sunday, part of the Mildura Pigeon Club’s Breeders Plate sale. All proceeds will go toward the club’s September race (worth between $15,000 and $25,000), with the sale to run from 11am to 3pm at the group’s club rooms (located next to the Mildura Landfill). More information is available by contacting 0407 540 270.

Merbein market MERBEIN’S streets will be lined with a variety of stalls and food shops this Sunday, with a street market to be held from 8am to 1pm. The monthly market proved a hit with locals last year, with a number of the town’s second-hand and antique shops to also open their doors. More information is available by contacting 0427 888 708.

Music Festival THE Murray River International Music Festival will once again see a number of talented musicians perform for local audiences, with concerts to be held at a number of local venues including churches and galleries. The festival will be held from Wednesday, January 20 to Friday, January 29, with more information available by visiting www.artsmildura.com.au.

Under the hammer • From Page 19

Ashley and Fiona were happy with the way the auction went, with one minor disappointment being when an on-looker knocked over and smashed an antique vase that was about to go under the hammer. But Fiona is not looking back. With great support from family and friends, she is ready for a fresh start, getting back a bit of motivation, and making a move to the Nangiloc area, with the idea of running some holiday units, perhaps in conjunction with fishing charters on the nearby Murray River. No more antiques or collectibles. Well, apart from a few bits and pieces of furniture that she needed… and a beautiful old hand-worked orange juice squeezer… “I couldn’t bear to part with it,” she said.

it would probably do more hard than good. “I understand completely how Indians are upset over the recent racial attacks,” she said. “It makes me ashamed to be Australian when you hear about attacks on people of other cultures. “But I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and calm down. Bollywood boycotting Australia will only drive the two countries further apart.” Earlier in the week, The Times of India newspaper reported that Indian producers were being told to avoid filming in Australia “until the current crisis is sorted out.” A Mumbaibased film industry worker’s union, The Federation of Western India Cine Employees, has already decided not to shoot in Australia. “The recent attacks on Indian youth by Australians are condemnable,” the union’s general secretary Dinesh Chaturvedi was quoted by The Times as saying. “We have decided not to schedule film shooting in Australia till things get back to normal. “While we don’t say Australia is a racist country, the inaction on the part of the government has forced us to stay away from them.’’ The Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association has also written to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd asking him to take the nec-

Kasey Chambers to top sandhills bill

THE annual Mildura Wentworth Arts Festival has once again secured a major artist as part of the annual ‘Music Under the Stars’ concert, with awardwinning performer Kasey Chambers to headline the event. The concert, due to be held at the Perry Sandhills on Saturday, March 6, has made a habit of featuring the country’s leading musicians, with the likes of Paul Kelly, Ben Lee and Kate Ceberano all appearing in recent times. “Kasey is such a huge name, and appeals to so many different people,” Festival Director Helen Healy said. “She’s a perfect fit for ‘Music Under the Stars.’” Chambers has fast become one of Australia’s most successful female artists, with the country singer boasting two ‘Best Female Artist’ ARIAs (2000 and 2002), and the 2002 ‘Album of the Year’ ARIA for ‘Barricades & Brickwalls’ (which achieved sales of seven times platinum in Australia). Her 2008 album ‘Rattlin Bones’ has continued the platinum trend, whilst

also receiving nominations in both the ‘Best Group’ and ‘Best Album’ categories as part of the 2009 Americana Music Awards. Helen said that Chambers was at the top of what was shaping up to be a memorable festival, with a number of new features and surprises in store for 2010 audiences. “There’s going to be a range of extra workshops and special features to ensure fun for the whole family,” she said. “Thanks to funding from Festivals Australia and New South Wales Tourism we’ve been able to take the event to the next level this year, and really enhance the experience for visitors and locals alike. “The festival will also provide local acts with an opportunity to showcase their talent, with auditions for a local support acts to hopefully be held early this year.” Tickets for all Mildura Wentworth Arts Festival events are already on sale, with more information available by visiting www.artsmildura.com.au.

Hospital has a best seller! THE Mildura Private Hospital cookbook, ‘Private Selections’, has been selling like the proverbial ‘hot cakes’ and our sources tell us there are just a few copies left. It was the hospital staff’s first publishing effort, and a limited-edition, that has now just about sold out. Apparently it was a winner as a Christmas present in 2009, with the bulk of the sales recorded before the December 25 deadline. The few remaining copies are available from the hospital in 13th Street, at Mildura District Hospital Medical Fund, over the phone on 50 222611, the web milduraprivatehospital.com.au or by email to reception@mildpriv.com.au. The entire proceeds, less publishing costs, will be forwarded to the McGrath Foundation. The books are a modest $10 each and contain recipe ideas for nibbles, sauces and chutneys, soups, salads and vegetables, fish meals, chicken, beef and lamb, vegetarian dishes, and cakes, slices “and other sweet things’ for dessert.

Home Buyers Guide

First home buyer assistance changes On 1 January, 2010 the amount of government financial assistance for first home buyers decreased. Since the assistance was introduced it has been welcomed not only by first home buyers but also vendors and builders. The total financial assistance for a first home buyer when purchasing an established home in Victoria is now $9,000. This is comprised of the State Government’s Grant, which is worth $7,000, and the Bonus, which is worth $2,000. The Federal Government Boost, which was worth $3,500, ceased on 31 December, 2009. A higher level of assistance remains for first home buyers who are purchasing a new home. Within metropolitan Melbourne $18,000 can be accessed, comprising the Grant ($7,000) and the Bonus ($11,000). The Federal Government Boost, which was worth $7,000, ceased on 31 December, 2009. If your first home is a newly constructed one outside metropolitan Melbourne, a total of $22,500 worth of assistance can be accessed. This comprises the Grant ($7,000), the Bonus ($11,000) and the Regional Bonus, which is worth $4,500. The Federal Government Boost, which was worth $7,000, ceased on 31 December, 2009. The Grant, which was introduced on 1 July, 2000 to offset the effect of the GST on home ownership, is an ongoing scheme and the Bonus will cease on 30 June, 2010 unless further funding is provided.

Study provides strategy for airfield modernisation • From Page 17 The plan/study also points out the town’s proximity to the Willandra Lakes World Heritage area, including the Mungo National Park, and other nearby attractions within Wentworth Shire and Mildura Rural City, including the Australian Inland Botanic Gardens, as well as wineries and other local produce and processing businesses. The aerodrome could also be convenient for those flying in to attend the events including the annual Wentworth Show; MilduraWentworth Arts Festival; Wentworth Race Week; the Mildura-Wentworth Country Music Festival; the Wentworth Vintage Machinery and Steam Rally (the ‘Junction Rally’) and the Festival of the Flood, incorporating the Great Wentworth Tractor Rally, last held in 2006. The plan/study does, however, point out that Mildura Airport offers an attractive alternative to many users, as a result of the greater amenity available in Mildura and convenience factors such as the availability of rental cars and taxis from the airport to the town centre. “The desirability of Wentworth Aerodrome to aviators will be dependent not only on the attractiveness of the aerodrome, but of the town itself as a place to spend time and conduct essential activities,” it says. Turning to flying training, the document says: “Opportunities currently exist with international commercial air operators developing or relocating pilot training facilities to Australia. However, it must be recognised that the commercial flying training marketplace, although rich in opportunities, is also crowded with potential competitors. “To attract a significant flying training operator, the aerodrome would be in competition with nu-

• The Wentworth Aerodrome refuelling facility. The study recommends installing credit card reading capability for itinerant aviators. merous other similar aerodromes throughout Victoria and Australia, most critically Mildura Airport. “International commercial air operators also have very specific requirements for their training facilities. Additional infrastructure that would accommodate aircraft parking, storage, and manoeuvring are essential to securing this type of opportunity. Classroom, flight planning and aircraft maintenance facilities would also be required. Simply attracting an interested flying training organisation to Wentworth is likely to be a costly and time consuming endeavour. Rather than investing in new facilities in the hopes of attracting flying training, it is recommended that Council be aware of the ability of the aerodrome’s current facilities to host flying training and to market them appropriately in partnership with Mildura Airport. “Should a pilot training organisation establish at Mildura Airport, Wentworth would be suitable as a secondary aerodrome at which pilots could conduct basic daytime training circuit work away from the more

congested airspace of Mildura. “While flying training organisations have in the past expressed interest in establishing in Mildura, it is now reportedly known that these particular organisations are no longer interested. Other organisations may establish to serve overseas opportunities, and some interest was reported, but regional centres will always be in competition with capital cities for international fight training for reasons of amenity and accessibility. “It must also be recognised that the ability to obtain financial recompense from the use of Wentworth Aerodrome as a secondary training aerodrome will be severely limited due to the availability of several similar aerodromes within short flying distance of Mildura and the cost sensitive nature of the flying training industry.” Therefore, the “contribution of flying training students to the Wentworth economy is also likely to be minimal”, is the conclusion. Meanwhile, the plan/study says there “appears to be potential for some greater level of commercial

charter operations at the Wentworth Aerodrome”. “The opportunities fall into two broad categories – visitation by charter aircraft and operations by charter companies based at Wentworth aerodrome. “In respect of the first category, there appears to be an opportunity to establish Wentworth on the route of air-charter tours of the outback. The outback nature of Wentworth might be sufficient to attract commercial operators catering to a niche market in preference to the greater amenity of Mildura. This type of activity could deliver notable economic benefits to the town as visitors will need accommodation and sustenance as a minimum, as well as provisioning for the next leg of the trip. “The potential of this opportunity is heavily driven by the extent to which Wentworth is able to develop and market its overall tourism product, but is nevertheless considered sufficiently likely that Council should ensure that the aerodrome’s capability does not present an additional constraint on this type of activity.

“There is also the possibility that charter operator(s) might consider establishing a base at Wentworth to provide leisure-focussed services such as scenic joy flights and even sky diving, gliding and private flying training activity. However, this is considered a longer term opportunity, because by definition commercial operators need to close to their target market. “Clearly the potential market at Mildura Airport is always likely to be larger than at Wentworth. However, if a focussed tourism development strategy can successfully increase the number of overnight visitors, and with competitive aerodrome cost structures, Wentworth may become more attractive to commercial operators.” Given the role of Wentworth as a service centre for the outback portion of the Shire, the plan/study says, there will always be demand for use of the aerodrome for business and corporate users as an access point to the town. “Enhanced facilities might encourage greater use for inbound users, particularly those based on remote properties around the Shire. It is unlikely that significant outbound demand for business and corporate flying will develop and this will more than likely be served adequately by Mildura Airport. Wentworth Aerodrome already services aerial work activities and “no specific opportunities to increase this use are apparent from the consultations conducted for this study”. “Nevertheless, enhancement of the facilities should incorporate requirements relevant to the most common aerial work operations wherever cost permits.” A copy of the plan/study is available on the Wentworth Shire Council website at www.wentworth.nsw. gov.au.

Exploring the perils of a sea voyage • From Page 16 And near here, too, is the Falls of Halladale’s huge anchor. The Maritime Village, built around a small lake at the foot of the hill, represents a late 1800s sea port, with the facilities and businesses one would expect to

find there; timber wharf, Steam Packet Inn, bank, medical officer, bond store, sail maker, shipsmith, ship’s chandler, and much more. You can wander in and out of these buildings, which are fitted out with the tools of the trade. At the school house you can chuckle over the 1872 Rules for Teach-

ers, which included; ‘Men teachers may take one evening each week for courting purposes, or two evenings a week if they go to church regularly.’ On the tranquil lake is a former Tasmanian ferry, Rowitta, undergoing restoration. Other boats, including Warrnambool’s original

lifeboat, are moored nearby. The volunteers and staff who built - and sometimes populate - the village have done a wonderful job on this site overlooking Lady Bay. It would be well worth a visit if Mildura Weekly readers intend heading off along the Great Ocean Road to visit the Shipwreck Coast

during holiday periods. And if you’re staying overnight in Warrnambool, try and catch Flagstaff Hill’s evening sound and laser spectacular, ‘Shipwrecked,’ which captures the drama of the Loch Ard disaster, the fight for survival of crewman Tom Pearce, and his dramatic and heroic rescue

Martin King Brenda Runnegar Brenda Runnegar will be The Art Vault’s artist in residence for the month of January. Brenda is a well established, Canberra-based artist with an extensive body of work often touching on the abstract and unusual with a hint of the naïve. Brenda studied Visual Arts in Canberra, and completed her Masters of Fine Art at Monash University. Throughout her studies and on completion of her degree Brenda has continued to produce substantial quantities of work that have featured in various solo exhibitions in not only Canberra and the ACT, but has also in curated international group exhibitions including

‘Chiuso per ferie’ at the Monash Centre, Prato, Italy. Brenda describes her work as having “a lot to do with human intervention in the landscape, never about an innocent untouched nature. The relationship of human inhabitants to the land seems always to be an opposing one, of antagonism and confrontation rather than harmony. Concepts of living with the land rather than conquering it are very limited. It seems to me that for artists it is always a vehicle, rarely an end in itself. Of course Aboriginal artists have, in my opinion more of an affinity to the landscape than most of us. They are ‘at one’ with it.

White Australians don’t have the benefit of many centuries of living in one place, of developing a dreaming, an entire spirituality based on such a relationship to place.” Her focus during the time of her residency will be based on her studies of the Mallee and surrounding areas such as Lake Mungo and various salt lakes, with the intention to explore her ongoing interest in the connection between the landscape and its history and inhabitants both human and animal. Brenda is now exhibiting a body of work at Gallery 25 with the exhibition running through until the 28th of January.

Martin King’s exhibition ‘Burnt Creek Offering’ is a quiet reflection on the changes that occur over time in the natural landscape. King is an observer of the landscape; capturing, in slow motion, the environment that surrounds him; and is conscious of the small movements that combined make the grandness that is our Australian environment. King, is a member of a group called ‘Altitude Art’. Founding artists, and invited artists, work together on projects in different landscapes which culminate in a group exhibition. The artwork responds to the residency, the interaction between artists and the environments in which they visit. The group has visited South Georgia Island in Antarctica and this work, ‘Burnt Creek Offering’ was developed out of a project in the Strathbogie region of North Eastern Victoria. This piece formed part of a group exhibition at ‘Packing Shed’ Avenel, 2008 and James Makin Gallery, Melbourne in 2009.

In ‘Burnt Creek Offering’, one hundred and eleven drawings surround the walls of the gallery in a continuous line. They capture the movement of a bird’s flight through the watery landscape of the Ngambie Lakes in the Strathbogie region. Soft charcoal temporarily suspends each movement on transparent drafting film. Time is broken down into stills and the viewer can visualize the drawing process and King’s fingerprints leave traces of his journey. These stills have been animated to make a short film which activates the movement and creates a very different contemplative space. The soundtrack creates an atmospheric interpretation which is somewhat disjunctive and alludes to things being not quite in balance within this natural environment. Through the beauty and contemplative process of his work, King wants the viewer to take the time to empathize with the landscape. ‘Burnt Creek Offering’, is currently showing at The Art Vault.

Roberto Fabbriciani The Art Vault will host a special musical event during the Murray River International Music Festival featuring the wonderful flautist Roberto Fabbriciani. Roberto will play to an intimate audience within the main gallery space at The Art Vault from 6pm on Wednesday the 27th of January.

Extras appeal for Nissan’s compact X-Trail SUV range

Auri-

By MARTON PETTENDY NISSAN has thrown a range of extra standard features into its X-Trail compact SUV range, but pricing remains the same – at least at base level. Change is limited to the addition of an iPod jack on the entry-level X-Trail ST petrol, which continues to be priced from $32,990 plus dealer delivery and statutory charges.

The flagship Ti petrol and TL diesel models now comes with standard satellite-navigation, a reversing camera with seven-inch LCD touchscreen colour display and iPod-USB and Bluetooth connectivity.

In addition, the Ti gains DVD compatibility for its CD

X-Trail diesel manual.

To date, Nissan says it has sold nearly 90,000 examples of the X-Trail in Australia, where sales are down almost 24 per cent so far in 2009. Nissan’s Japanese-built X-Trail once vied with Toyota’s evergreen RAV4

The entry-level diesel X-Trail TS also continues to be priced from $37,740, but gains the iPod jack, Bluetooth connectivity with steering wheel controls and rear privacy glass as standard.

as Australia’s top-selling compact SUV, but its market share has slipped from 11.6 per cent in 2008 to 9.2 per cent this year – though it still ranks as the fourth best-seller. “The Nissan X-Trail is an outstanding all-rounder,” said Nissan Australia CEO

Dan Thompson. “It provides authentic SUV performance on any surface, has plenty of room to stow your sports adventure gear and its choice of petrol or diesel engines means there’s a model to suit all compact SUV customers. “With this latest update we have added even more value. Our diesel models were a response to consumer demand and continue to represent outstanding value for money. “They also strike the right note with buyers who are interested in reducing fuel consumption and emissions. “The improved specification package will make the Nissan X-Trail the first choice for those who want a well-specified, comfortable and sporty compact SUV which has shown its pedigree over the years and continues to improve. “The ST-L model in particular gives us a lead over our rivals with its now standard leather seat trim and heated, electrically adjustable front seats.” © GoAutoMedia 2010

Honda airbag boost inflates safety claims By RON HAMMERTON HONDA has ramped up the safety of its Honda Civic range by adding curtain airbags to the base Civic VTi sedan as standard equipment in the just-introduced 2010 model. All other Civic models – including the British-made Civic Si and Type R hatch models – already have the life-saving device which is becoming more commonplace on mainstream cars as manufacturers strive for maximum five-star ANCAP safety rating. The Civic sedan was judged a four-

star performer when it was tested by ANCAP after the current model was introduced in 2006. Several rivals such as the Ford Focus, Mazda3, Mitsubishi Lancer, Subaru Impreza, VW Golf and Holden Cruze have all subsequently scored five stars, although not all of them have full curtain airbags. It is the second safety upgrade for the Honda small car, which gained ESC – or Vehicle Stability Assist, as Honda calls it – in February 2009. Other minor upgrades for 2010 include two new colours – Dyno Blue and Habenera Red. The latter was

introduced on the City. As well, the Civic VTi-L sedan gets a new 10-spoke alloy wheel design. Prices remain unchanged for the Civic sedan range, which is imported duty free from Thailand under the free-trade agreement and therefore not affected by the January 1 import tariff reduction. The 1.8-litre Civic VTi manual is $22,990 (plus statutory and government charges), with metallic paint $475 extra and a $2300 premium for the five-speed automatic transmission. © GoAutoMedia 2010

329km/h sport Bentley yours for $525,000!

TO SIT in the Bentley Continental Supersports is a strange sensation, as it is unlike any other Bentley. The supportive bucket seats are like those of a race car, only more comfortable, and there are no seats in the back.

The powerband has no soft point, just an overwhelming stream of horsepower all the way to 6000rpm.

The automatic transmission takes a while to change in the regular setting, but can be set to shift faster. It will still override the driver in manual mode, but the changes are quick indeed.

The cabin has no woodgrain, replaced by lots of carbon fibre in the instrument binnacle and centre console, but Bentley has retained the leather-lined dashboard. Fire it up by pressing the ignition button and the Supersports emits a gruff rumble that suggests it is meaner than your traditional Continental.

$29,999

The big Bentley does not suffer much body roll and it changes direction much more easily than its dimensions and weight would suggest possible.

DRIVE AWAY FOR ABN HOLDERS

It has an impressive amount of grip and the all-wheel-drive system allows you to put much of the power down fairly early in the turn.

4x2 SINGLE CAB CHASSIS

SAVE UP TO #3,000*

EXCLUDING TRAY

The Continental Supersports looks imposing. Those bonnet holes, wider rear wings, deeper bumpers and blacked out stainless steel bits all help hint that it is both expensive and fast. Lightly pimped is probably the best way to describe it.

Then there is the gruff grumble it emits when you back off the throttle, which is just heavenly. We tested the Bentley at private track an hour out of Sydney, which is classified as a private road and has very little run-off. This, the fact that the car costs $525,000 and that it is the only one in the country, have a certain effect on a driver.

It has so much power that it slings this 2240kg beast forward with such phenomenal force that you look forward to the next corner just so you can slow down and accelerate again.

The steering is light, as is the case with most luxury cars at this end of the market, and that is disconcerting. Once you spend a little time in the car, it is possible to get used to it, but it never feels quite right.

4X4 DUAL CAB PIK-UP

It would be fascinating to experience the stiffer suspension on real roads spoiled by pot holes and tram tracks.

Accelerate hard and that all changes, with the larger rear pipes belting out an angry thunder that tells all and sundry that this is a serious piece of automotive hardware.

The Superspeed’s acceleration is simply stunning.

Room for improvement Gear change paddles feel awkward, weight is still an issue, outrageous paint option cost

The private track is covered in billiard table smooth tarmac, so there was no chance of testing ride quality.

It sounds menacing, but not in an overt way, at least at low revs.

Luckily, a fully-insured Bentley representative was able to unleash the car for a red-hot demonstration lap.

We like Awesome acceleration, phenomenal braking, cracking exhaust, muscular styling

The Supersports is a curious car, a 2200kg-plus two-seater luxury coupe that is actually a lighter, more hardcore, variation of an existing model.

The only problem with the paddles in that they are fixed and are in an awkward spot for my test drive. Their rectangular design feels strange and they can be clumsy to use. The brakes leave even more of an impression than the engine’s fearsome acceleration. Carbon discs and eight piston callipers do a remarkable job of pulling up this behemoth.

Brad and Cara eye Australian selection By VINNIE RODI VOLLEYBALLERS Brad Mason, 17, and Cara Meyer, 15, are only one step away from becoming official Australian representatives, after attending the 2009 Volleyball Australia Youth Talent and Selection Camp last month. More than 80 athletes (in each age group) were exposed to everything from jump tests to skills training, with Brad and Cara part of an initial group of six locals invited to attend. Their hard work and unique skill sets saw them quickly jump to the front of the line, with their four Sunraysia counterparts unlucky to miss out. As it currently stands the duo

are in the top 30 contenders in their respective age groups, with squads to be reduced to 10 members by April. And while no official itinerary has been announced, if selected they could find themselves competing against New Zealand, touring Asia, and possibly visiting Iran. In the meantime they will attend a number of follow-up camps and tournaments designed to help selectors finalise squads, with Brad and Cara saying that while they were excited by the prospect of representing their country, they were also anxious to learn the final result. “It’s a little frustrating not knowing whether we’re in or not,” Cara said. “But at the same time

She earned her first Victorian honours in 2009, and only just missed out on making the Australian team after attending the same talent and selection camp last year. Cara said she felt better prepared heading into this year’s trials, working alongside Sunraysia

Academy of Sport coach Allan Hassell prior to the camp. “Allan has been helping me improve certain areas of my game, and his advice has definitely helped me get further in the selection process this year,” she said. “To make the top 30 is a great achievement, and I’m confident that I can make the final 10 if I keep working hard.” And while Brad and Cara are obviously proud of their achievements, their success has also put a smile on Sunraysia Academy of Sport coordinator Vicki Telfer’s face, who has been working with the duo as part of the Academy’s volleyball program. “Both Cara and Brad have been members of the Dunning Classic Homes Volleyball Program for some time now, and this is a fantastic achievement for all involved,” she said. “We were lucky enough to have six talented volleyballers make the trip, the most Sunraysia has ever sent away, and to have two make it this far is a great result. “They’ve both worked very hard, and hopefully they can continue to build on their recent success and officially make their respective teams.”

Basketballers receive State call-up

• DREAM TEAM: Mildura’s latest Country Victorian representatives are, back row: Jack Saunders (U/16), Sam Bell (U/16), Caitlin McLachlan (U/15), Denelle Fawcett (U/16), Ashley Langanke (U/16), and Dennis Chaplin (Assistant Coach for U/15 Girls side), and front row Morgan Alvino (U/14), Bronte Clark (U/18), Ashley Niutta (U/16) and Karla Allen (U/14).

By VINNIE RODI MILDURA’S young basketballers continue to impress at State level, with 10 local players to represent Country Victoria next week. The talented youngsters will compete across two tournaments, with Under 15 and 17 representatives to travel to Port Macquarie for the Pacific Coast Slam, while Under 14, 16 and 18 competitors will head to Albury for the Australian Country Junior Cup. Regardless of venue, all basketballers will get the chance to take on the best from regional Australia and New Zealand, with Junior Heat developmental coach Alan Morris saying all 10 players had been working hard in the lead-up to the event. “I’ve been working with the group every day for the past three weeks, helping them to fine-tune skills, and all of them have put in the hard work, and deserve their place in their respective teams,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity for all of these kids to showcase their talent on a national stage, whilst gaining some extra experience at the top level, and I’m confident each of them can do well.” Athletes competing at the Pacific Coast Slam will begin competition today, with the tournament to finish next Wednesday, January 20, while those competing at the Junior Cup will get underway this Sunday, with the tournament to run for one week. Alan said that in addition to player selections, one local coach would also take part in the tournament, with Dennis Chaplin to be an assistant with the Under 15 girls team in Port Macquarie. “Dennis has done a lot of work with the kids since their selection a few months ago,” he said. “And it’s great for us to have both players and coaches represented at this level.” And while players are now considered the best in country Victoria, a chance to earn a call-up to the “proper” Victorian side is also up for grabs, with a number of selectors to be assessing players throughout both tournaments. Those who manage to catch selector’s eyes will attend a training and selection camp later this year, with the best from both metropolitan and country areas to compete

at the 2010 Australian Championships. Of the 10 locals in contention only two have previous Victorian experience, with Bronte Clark and Mollie McKendrick looking to make it two consecutive years at the State’s top level. Their Mildura counterparts will also look to impress, with two in particular, Ashley Niutta and Jack Saunders, aiming for a second bite of the cherry after Ashley narrowly missed out on selection last year, and Jack was forced out of contention with a broken leg. “All of our local basketballers are very effective in their individual positions, and there’s no reason why they can’t go the next step,” Alan said.

with Mildura’s Under 16 girls side to arguably be the hardest hit after drawing two Melbourne teams on the competition’s opening day. They will be without playmakers Ashley Niutta and Denelle Fawcett, along with tall utility Ashley Langanke, with the side to be reduced to six players. Alan, who is also the Under 16 girls coach, said while it was unfortunate a number of Heat sides would be without star players, teams would have to find a way to function on limited numbers. “Hopefully it won’t affect the way our teams play, however it’s always going to be hard to perform at your best with talented players missing from your line-up,” he said. “It’s just going to be a matter of waiting to see what happens, and hopefully our Heat teams can find another gear, and get through the first few days relatively unscathed.” • SLAM DUNK: Jack Saunders works hard for another basket (RIGHT), whilst young gun Morgan Alvino desperately looks to for a way to get around fellow team mate Karla Allen at the group’s latest training session (LEFT).

Games swim champ here for clinic soon “Bronte and Mollie have been there before, and have a very good chance of making it through again this year, while there are others who could also find themselves in contention. “If they continue to work hard and perform at their best, then we could certainly see a high number of local kids heading to training and selection camps later this year.” And while the high number of talent selected can only be considered a fantastic result, the timing could be better, with State duties to coincide with one of the Heat’s major tournaments next weekend. The Bendigo tournament is regarded as one of the toughest of the year, with all 10 Country Victorian representatives to miss the first day of competition, a loss that could see their respective sides struggle against quality opposition from Melbourne. Alan said that all country associations competing in Bendigo would face similar selection problems,

OLYMPIC and Commonwealth Games swim sensation and now polished media commentator Nicole Livingstone will be special guest at a Sunraysia Swimming Club swim clinic on Saturday, February 6. The event, organised in conjunction with Mallee Sports Assembly, is free of cost, and open to any State or country qualifying swimmer aged between 10 and 16 provided they are registered with a club. The clinic at Mildura Waves will run for two hours from 6.30am on the Saturday, and those intending to participate have been asked to be at the pool, with bathers under their clothes, at least 10 minutes early. Invitations have been sent to all district clubs, as well as swimming organizations in Broken Hill, Renmark and Swan Hill.

Organisers have invited Nicole to give a talk to swimmers, do some dry land training/exercises, followed by and swim training in the pool. Juniors unable to actively participate, parents and coaches have been invited to be pool side during all of the sessions. Livingstone (formerly Nicole Stevenson) began her swimming career at just 14, and is in the history books as one of Australia’s most successful female swimmers. With a career spanning over 10 years, her achievements include a silver medal and two bronze medals from three Olympic appearances; six gold, two silver and a bronze from three Commonwealth Games, and appearances at six Pan Pacific Championships. In these competitions she won four gold, two silver and a

bronze, along the way breaking a world record in the 200m backstroke (short course) in 1992. Nicole also placed her name in the record books by starting the longest winning sequence of any Australian swimmer in history at the national titles, winning 10 consecutive 100m backstroke titles between 1987 and 1996. A great ambassador for Australian sport, Nicole has received many other awards during her career outside of the pool. These include the Medal of the Order of Australia in June, 1997, and the Australian Sports Medal in July, 2000. The Aussie champion was inducted into the Victorian Women’s Honour Roll in 2006, and recently joined Network Ten as an expert commentator on the new ONE channel, along with her job as co-host of Thursday Night Live.

Bad start, but a ‘h t’ finish! IT wasn’t the best of starts. Local elite-level road racing cyclist Stephanie Frawley had done all the preparations, had her carbon fibre bike in raceready mode, but wasn’t prepared for the confusing array of gates and fences leading to the starting ramp. The 50-year-old mother of three was keen to do well. The event, the 2010 Scody Australian National Road Championships 28km time trial, had attracted the best female racers in the land. Most of the star-studded field had been sent off. Frawley was 14th last to go, in keeping with her national ranking. In bike terms she was ‘race ready,’ thanks to a warm up and race preparation program organised by partner and fellow road racer Errol Schmidt. Frawley said this week she thought she had timed her start to perfection, negotiating the ‘maze’ leading to the start as officials counted down, but a slight misjudgment saw her arrive just seconds after officials counted down to zero, meaning precious seconds lost in a race that can be won by just hundredths of a second. The 28km time trial course, based near Ballarat, is extremely demanding, and the action starts as soon as the riders leave the gate, heading straight into a gut-wrenching, leg-burning 3km climb out of Bunninyong towards the undulating back section of the course. With the ‘missed’ start at the back of her mind, Frawley ran into more trouble only two kilometres into the race when a course official on corner duty motioned for her to turn left, slowing her down and sending her off course. Schmidt, following in a support vehicle, watched in disbelief, but was unable to intervene in time, and again, precious seconds were lost before Frawley turned her bike to get back on track and continue the climb. A podium finish or even top 10 seemed remote, as over a minute had been lost, but Frawley wasn’t about to give up, and quickly settled into a rhythm for the remainder of the race. According to Schmidt, re-

cent hard months of training paid off as Frawley tore up the rest of the course, fighting to keep her minute marker and top Queensland road champion Simone Grounds at bay in

a titanic see-sawing struggle. The last 10 kilometres saw Frawley re-pass Grounds at speeds topping 75kph down the steep Gear Avenue, three kilometres from the finish. After the race, a satisfied Frawley said that she couldn’t have done any more, commenting; “there was no more gas left in the tank.” Little wonder. Despite the massive amount of time lost at the start and when misdirected, Frawley had just recorded her fastest time in five years…and by well over a minute! She finished in 14th place, putting her in the top

ALL roads will lead to Mildura’s riverfront on Sunday, March 21 for one of the biggest events on Sunraysia’s social calendar – the Lindemans Tour de Murray. If past years are any indication, bike riders, runners, walkers and swimmers will be out in force for this year’s event in support of Rotary and Mallee Family Care. Organisers have stressed once again that the various events that make up the Tour de Murray are all for fun, enjoyment and for socialising – they are not designed to be competitive. Some participants, however, will no doubt want to try themselves out against the clock in an effort to beat last year’s times. There will be two road rides for bike enthusiasts, a 75km ride to Lindemans and back (starting time 8am), a 30km ride for less experienced riders (10am), a 7.5km Mayoral walk (10.30am), a 1.5km river

15 Aussie time trial riders for four years in a row. The surprise result, considering her lost time, was made even better when she was congratulated by Australian cycling legend Phil Anderson, hero of many Tour de France stage wins and Classic European races. Anderson now lives in Apollo Bay between running training camps and cycling tours to Europe. He won gold at the 1978 Commonwealth Games, and was the first Australian (and first non-European) to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France.

swim (11.30am), and a leisurely bike ride to Apex Park and return, also at 11.30. Other events include tennis coaching, and Rhee Tae Kwon Do martial arts exhibition. Each participant will against be asked to part with $10 (includes lunch) in support of Rotary and Chances for Children. Entry forms for the 2010 event are available from Mallee Family Care at 122 Ninth Street, or the Alfred Deakin Centre (Mildura Waves building at the corner of Deakin Avenue and 12th Street.

Our 8 hit road for cancer ride By JUSTIN NICHOLAS EIGHT spirited and determined members of Sunraysia Cancer Support Group will travel to South Australia next week, riding from Norwood to Goolwa in the Mutual Community Challenge Tour. The recreational riders will depart just hours before some of the best professional bike road racers in the world contest stage four of the Santos Tour Down Under along the same route. The Community Challenge began in 2003, and last year more than 7000 cyclists from 14 countries participated. Social, corporate and sporting riders in this year’s event have a choice of three distances - 35km, 111km or a 160km course, depending upon their enthusiasm and level of fitness. The eight Sunraysia Cancer Support Group cyclists are a combination of Cancer survivors, supporters, and some who are living with Cancer, like Peter Mills of Mildura. Peter, a fitness fanatic who writes the popular ‘Mills on Wheels’ cycling and fitness column for the Mildura Weekly, said this week he had been shocked at his diagnosis with the incurable Cancer, Multiple Myeloma, in 2007. “You don’t expect something like this when you keep fit,” he said, adding that after cancer treatment he had made exercise and his body massage business his main focus, along with helping others who have been down the same track as him. Peter said that as far as the Mildura cancer support group was concerned, its members had concentrated on group fitness as an important bonding exercise, and through this association some members had recently discovered the joy of cycling. “Our group this year consists of some debut riders, while others will ride the same distance as last year, or tackle an extended ride distance,” he said. Peter is an accomplished sportsman, having completed the 1989 Adelaide marathon (42 kilometres) in under three hours. He has also competed in more than 100 triathlons and finished two ironman events, as well as representing Australia five times in the World Duathlon (cycling and running) championships, finishing in the top 10 every time. Like last year, the group’s Adelaide challenge pilgrimage is more meaningful because cancer survivor and seven time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong will again return to South Australia for the event. Armstrong’s famed battle with cancer has inspired many thousands

They are hoping to catch up with fellow cancer survivor and seven times Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong (INSET). of people around the world, and his involvement in competitive cycling now focusses on raising awareness and funds for cancer prevention through the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Armstrong will contest the Santos Tour Down Under against Australia’s World Road Race Champion Cadel Evans and a further 131 riders from 19 race teams. This year’s event will be the 12th running of the Santos Tour Down Un-

der, which continues to gain momentum and grow in size every year. Last year more than 760,000 spectators lined the roadside to support their favorite cyclists. The Santos Tour Down Under is based on the exciting European style of racing, where cyclists compete in teams of seven over the tour’s 794km journey, all vying for the coveted ochre jersey, which is worn by the leading rider of the tour.

Young guns shooting hard sultans of

with Brendon THE Sportzprint 2010 Australian Under 21 Speedway Championship will see the cream of Australia’s young speedway talent on display at Mildura’s Olympic Park track tomorrow night. The 16 young hopefuls will be keen to stake their claims for the Australian Title, which will be the last meeting for many of the lads prior to their return, or in some cases, their first trip to England, to progress their careers as international speedway riders. Amongst the rider’s list will be the current World Under 21 Champion, Queenslander Darcy Ward, who took the world crown against massive odds back in the European summer of 2009. Ward took care of meeting favourite, Jurica Pavlic, who was not only riding in his home country of Croatia, but was riding on the track owned by his father, as well as English star and joint meeting favourite, Tai Woofinden, who was expected to contest the top spot on the podium with Pavlic. Ward was able to blast both these fancied riders away, so look out at Olympic Park, as Ward should start as hot meeting favourite. A large group of NSW riders reflects the out turn of lads from the central NSW coast training facility, headed up by former internationals Mick Poole, Stephen Davies and Rod Colquhuoun. The Somersby and Kurri Kurri tracks have shown to be a good breeding ground with two former rider’s sons, Alex Davies, who had a great campaign in his first senior solo title, but sadly won’t race tomorrow night due to injury, and Taylor Poole, who both have good speedway breeding. Added to Poole will be Sam Masters, who has done so well in the 2010 senior Australian Title series for his first try in the big league, the experienced, Richard Sweetman, Hugh Skidmore, Michael Penfold and Todd Kurtz, who was last at Mildura riding a 350cc machine. They are all good racers, with young Mason Campton having his first go at the Under 21 Title. The NSW contingent is strong, but many of them could do themselves a mischief by thinking too much about the treachery of the Olympic park circuit. The real challenge should come from the Victorians in the field, especially Justin Sedgmen, who has had a great first outing in an Austra-

Gledhill

• ON THE SLIDE: Justin Sedgmen during the second round of the Australian Solo Speedway Championship at Olympic Park. (BELOW) Reigning World Under 21 Champion Darcy Ward is among the favourites for tomorrow night’s meeting. lian series, along with brother Ryan, who is now riding back into form. The other Victorians are the pair of boys from the Goulburn Valley, in Jake Anderson and Dakota North. North is a former Australian Under 16 Title winner. Anderson has ridden well at Mildura in the past and the track holds no fears for him, but North struggled to come to terms with the tight turns, crashing out of what could have been a qualifying place in the senior Title for him just less than two weeks ago. Justin Sedgmen took some big scalps during the three rounds of the senior Title and has had some experience riding in some qualifying rounds of last year’s World Under 21 Title, so he should be confident, especially in front of a home crowd, to do well. Sedgmen finished in eighth place after the Championship series finished at Newcastle last Saturday night, so he should be well pleased with his strong effort in his first crack as a senior. The younger Sedgmen scored mid pack in each of the three rounds, so was well rewarded for his consistency.

He was able to keep away from trouble, although he did look as though he had hurt himself when he instantly laid his machine down to avoid a falling Mark Lemon, when Lemon picked up in turn one

of the heat where the two Merbein riders met. The knowledgeable Mildura crowd was warm in their applause of Sedgmen’s instant response to the incident and feared the worst when Sedgmen got up cradling his arm. Following Lemon’s exclusion for

the stoppage, the Merbein lad went on to pick up some good points in the meeting both in the re-run and beyond. Sedgmen and World Champion, Ward, are the only two teenagers in the top eight in Australia at the moment, which augers well for Sedgmen’s chances tomorrow night. He will have massive local support and local patrons will be keen to see how he goes against the more experienced or credentialled group. The other Queenslanders in the field are Josh Grajczonek and Tyson Nelson, who will both be looking to ride well, especially Grajczonek, who had a wretched senior series, scoring poorly at all three venues. Grajczonek should use his previous experience at Mildura in a positive way and ride himself out of a form slump, even if just to go back to England in the right frame of mind. Nelson has not ridden Mildura before, so like all first timers, will take some time to come to grips with the tight turns of Olympic Park. The other rider to be included in the field is visiting English rider, Josh Auty, who will be back in

Mildura for the fourth time for this season. Auty is a good and seasoned rider, with enormous skills and quickly came to terms with the confines of Mildura. He did not do so well on the massive Newcastle track, as it was nothing like he had ever ridden before, but he will be right at home again at Olympic Park, which is so much like the English tracks which he has grown up on. Auty was great value in Mildura’s opening meeting for the season and rode well enough to qualify into the senior Title rounds. His riding was appreciated by Mildura fans as he was not frightened to give the throttle a tweak and attack the turns with some zeal. As was the case at the Senior Solo Title, there will be a top selection of sidecar support events, which will round off a wonderful program. Gates will open at 4pm, with senior riders practicing from 5pm. A junior support program will open the evening, with the rider presentation set to begin at 7.15pm. The Sportzprint Australian Under 21 Title will get underway at 7.30pm. A full catering service is provided at Olympic Park and patrons are reminded that there must be No BYO by law. Patrons are advised too, that grandstand seating is provided and must be used on a first come basis. No chairs are allowed on the stands.
