Welcome to August! I am quietly excited about this edition of the Leigh News for a couple of reasons. August 2015 was my first edition as editor, and what a great journey it has been so far. This is edition 33 I have had the pleasure of preparing. It is also 41 years since the very first edition of the Leigh News in August 1977. You may recall I did ask a couple of months ago if anyone had a copy. There wasn’t one in the historical collection at the Inverleigh Hall, but a couple of people did respond with information and I was able to borrow a copy. Unfortunately only 5 or the 6 pages were printed and page 4 was blank. To mark the occasion I have reprinted 4 of the pages in the centrefold of this issue so you can see how times have changed and also remove it as a keepsake if you wish. I will continue my hunt for page 4 also. Thanks for the lovely photo on the front cover too. It is a local Inverleigh garden and doesn’t it look a picture. I hope you enjoy the articles I have included this month. I found them very interesting and thanks to all who have contributed. If you have something to offer, please forward it to me...there are many in the district that will enjoy reading your contributions.

McNaughton’s Inside-Out Shed On the western outskirts of the Inverleigh township stands an unusual corrugated iron clad farm shed: a grain storage shed with its frame outside the cladding. The shed was built in about 1970 by Jack Bath for farmer Jack McNaughton. Oats grown on Jack’s Longs Road farm, by share farmer Llew Palmer (of Shelford) were augured into the shed, then used later to feed sheep during the autumn dry period. Jack Bath was a well know local carpenter & builder. The heavy steel framing was built at Jack’s shed in Inverleigh before being transferred and erected using man power only. No cranes were used like they would be nowadays. The grain was added to the storage shed via the spout on the roof (see photo-complete with distribution disk spread the feed as it was loaded in) and was extracted using the shoot in the side and any low level grain remaining was accessed via a doorway entry. As you can from the photos, there has been a lot of attention to detail in the construction with the tin flashings neatly mitred into every corner, inside and out. The steel “C section” columns have had flat inserts neatly welded in to form box columns, possibly to make it harder for mice to run up them. Jack built 2 other “Inside-Out” sheds for local farmers, Jack Hutchins of Leigh Park and Denis Smith of Shelford. Although Jack was a farmer, he and his wife Jessie lived in Central Inverleigh in the house that is now Sonny Café. Jack being of thrifty Scottish heritage only had one vehicle for farm and social use. It was a dark green Valiant sedan with mud tyres on the rear wheels for traction in the wet paddocks. When going around the farm, his dog “laddie” would sit in the front passengers’ seat for a good view of the sheep. Some of Jack and Jessies children and grandchildren still live in Inverleigh. The storage capacity of the shed was about 1,000 bags or 3,000 bushells. Thanks to Richard Palmer and Bruce McDonald for this contribution.

BOOK BAZAAR 2018 WRAPS UP A BIG SUCCESS
Another successful Book Bazaar has recently taken place at the Inverleigh Public Hall (July 7 & 8) raising funds for the ongoing maintenance costs of the hall facilities. Final total being $3200 profit. This is a great effort considering 95% of the books sold were for $1 or less. The weather wasn’t kind to us but we were very happy with the result of our hard work and we had many happy young & older “book worms” that walked away with lots of fabulous books. A huge thanks must go out to everyone that donated books, as without your generous donations we would not have been able to hold the Book Bazaar and sell fantastic books at bargain prices! The “fiction” room (usually known as the “supper room” amongst locals) was bursting with an estimated 6000 books alone within the walls! These books were wonderfully sorted and arranged in popular author name and in alphabetical order by Katrina Robson and her team: Liz & Bruce McDonald, Christine & Keith Windle, Melissa Rutherford. It was a huge job but with many compliments given over the weekend of the Book Bazaar it was worth all the effort! The main hall was also holding loads of books on various table headings. My team of junior book sorters consisted of: Caitlin Erwin, Archer, Hugo and Perri Brumby, Tavish McDonald. They were well supported by Amy Stack, Holly White, Jenny Walker, Helen & Neil Carberry. Their support with the mammoth task of setting up the Book Bazaar during the week was truly appreciated in a huge way. On the weekend of the Book Bazaar we were grateful of the help of Tonya Allen & Lyndall Brumby as extra volunteer helpers. The big job of packing away all the unsold books was made easy with a smaller band of volunteers on Monday morning with extra help from Keith Robson and Peter Trevaskis. Thanks again to everyone who helped.
The raffle was drawn at the closure on Sunday and it was won by Fletcher Boote (Liz & Bruce McDonald’s grandson). No doubt Fletcher will enjoy choosing some “new” books at Dymock’s with his $50 gift voucher. Once again thank you to everyone that supported the 2nd Inverleigh Book Bazaar by either donating, buying or helping with the books. Katrina Robson and her daughter, Tonya Allen have kindly volunteered to co-ordinate the next Book Bazaar which will be held in 2019. So watch this space for the actual date of next year’s Book Bazaar. We will be requesting more book donations, if you missed passing on your books to us this year save them up for next year’s book bazaar please. Happy reading! Anne-Maree Tarbett.
GOLDEN PLAINS RURAL WOMEN’S NETWORK INC
It pleasing to inform readers that the Golden Plains Rural Women’s Network Inc has decided to keep on keeping on with some renewed vigour and inspiration. Lobbying for our Shire It is pleased to note that part of the Network’s submission to the Federal Redistribution was recognised with the portion of the previous Corangamite Electorate that had been destined to become Wannon was actually retained within Corangamite and thus retains its community of interest with business and education districts. The portion encompasses Barunah Park, Barunah Plains and Wingeel. This reflects the course of the Wingeel school bus route that has for many years taken secondary school children to Geelong from these localities. Unfortunately, we were not successful with the remainder of the submission that focussed on areas closer to Ballarat and surrounds in the Golden Plains Shire. Changing Our Game The Network has been successful in securing a small grant from the Change Our Game Community Activation Grants program. Our Network in partnership with Golden Plains Shire Council, aims to develop and deliver a women’s leadership program. This program will consist of a series of
workshop sessions with a focus on building the capacity and confidence of local women in leadership opportunities, with a focus on local sport and recreation settings. Keep an eye out for details of the launch event we have planned for 12 September… Sponsored Winners It is also a delight to announce that Jennifer Mitton of Dereel and Kaylene Grigsby of Teesdale are the successful applicants to be sponsored by our Network to attend the Victorian Rural Women’s (Continued Page 7)

RETIREMENT OF DR WAYNE LIGHTFOOT On the 30th of June, one of Geelong’s most beloved and trusted General Practitioners will retire from practice. His patients adore him. His staff love him so much, they are not only some of Geelong’s longest serving employees, but his patients also. The medical fraternity hold him in the highest regard. Wayne will retire from practice from Kunatjarra Medical Clinic at 252 Church Street, Hamlyn Heights, after 16 years tirelessly working from here. As a full-time GP he has gone above and beyond by setting aside every Tuesday and Friday to visit patients in nursing homes and to carry out home visits to those people who have no other way of getting in to a doctor’s surgery, including those have been recently released from hospital. In an age where home visits are all but unheard of, Wayne has been a saviour to those who have had no other access to an attentive and caring GP, in their time of greatest need. Wayne graduated from the University of Melbourne with a Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery Degree in 1979 following which he commenced three years in the General Practice Training Program with an internship at St Vincents Hospital in Victoria Parade, Fitzroy. Upon completion of this Program, a complete change followed with Wayne relocating to Papua and New Guinea for a year, working in Bougainville. On arrival back in Australia he settled in Heyfield working as a GP for the next 5 years. For almost the next 30 years the people of Geelong and district have been blessed to have Wayne working in their midst, with 5 years spent, in what was then the much smaller communities of Bannockburn and Inverleigh , at what is now known as the Bannockburn Surgery, and 7 years at Anglesea and Torquay at the Surfcoast Medical Centre. Wayne then moved on to Kunatjarra Medical Clinic, where he has served the community for the past 16 years. Gaby Bolton is one of Wayne’s longest serving patients, having been his patient her entire life. At 24 years of age in a month’s time, Gaby’s initial consultation was for her initial immunisations as a young baby. Wayne has not only been Gaby’s GP. He has been an invaluable support to her through many difficult times including two life threatening diagnoses and extended treatments to save my own life – one a vena cava tumour diagnosed when she was 9 years old, the other an aggressive breast cancer diagnosis when she was just 16 years of age. As her mother, it came as no surprise that Gaby decided to follow Wayne into the field of medicine and a lifelong care of others. It is most fitting that in the same year that Wayne is retiring, Gaby will be graduating with a Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (Hons) Degree herself. As far as role models, that she will base her practicing career on, there could be none better than Wayne. From a patient’s perspective, we have never once asked him what marks he achieved in medicine. Marks don’t make the doctor. Kindness does. Empathy does. Caring does. Listening does. Reassurance does. Wayne has all those qualities in spades. Let’s hope Gaby does too. We genuinely wish Wayne the most restful,

healthy and content retirement, deservedly so, after decades of putting his patients first which so often translated into him still being at work late. into the night, long after everyone else had left. We now hope that all the hours sacrificed for us, will now be rewarded to him, being able to do all the things he has
loved and missed out on doing whilst devoting his life to being the best GP any of us could have wished for. These sentiments are not ours alone, but those of many people we have spoken to since finding out about his imminent retirement. We have discovered that the value and trust we have placed in Wayne, not only as our GP but as our coach, counsellor and mentor throughout some of our darkest days, has not been ours alone, but echoed by his other patients, his staff, the medical fraternity and the Geelong community in general. When at a specialist appointment recently, I was sharing with the Medical Receptionist how difficult it will be for us to lose Wayne as our GP when the lady standing in line next to me overheard me. She replied “Oh no. There are going to be so many devastated families around Geelong. Wayne is the type of doctor that when a mother comes in with their sick children, Wayne will say “first of all mum, how are you doing?” There are going to be a lot of shattered people when they learn of his retirement. He will be so terribly missed”. I couldn’t have said it better myself. My health has never been better. I don’t know how I would have coped with news of his retirement at any other point of being his patient. I know, however, there are patients of his that find themselves at their most vulnerable at present. How they are going to survive without him is beyond my comprehension. My heart goes out to them in the way that only a fellow patient of his, these past 24 years, having gone through similar circumstances, can empathise with. On saying goodbye and getting some precious photos together with him, we asked what the highlight of his working life was. True to form, Wayne’s response was simple. It is what has made him the great doctor he is today – ‘All the patients he has met and got to know.’ Andrea Bolton

SURPRISE SHOP – OUR INVERLEIGH OPPORTUNITY SHOP St Paul’s Anglican Church Surprise Shop provides a great place to search for bargains for both our residents and the wider community. Regular travellers through Inverleigh stop for a snack and a browse, often saying how much they appreciate our town and its amenities, including our shop, which is well set out and kept clean and tidy by the volunteers. We would like to welcome more volunteers if you have a spare morning on either a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The work is not arduous and you have an opportunity to meet and chat to customers as they browse the wide variety of goods for sale. The main function of the shop is to support the church, but each year donations are made to charities around Geelong and environs, including such services as the meals provided at the Christ Church Hall in Moorabool Street supported by both the Anglican and Catholic churches, Samaritan House providing homeless men with accommodation and support services, the
Salvation Army and the Brotherhood of St Lawrence among others. This year will be no different. Donations of clean clothes and other goods are very welcome and we appreciate the support received. There are some goods we cannot accept, namely any electrical items, children’s car seats and other baby furniture items, e.g. cots. The only such goods we can sell are those still in their original unopened packaging. This ensures safety and compliance, which we are obligated to follow. Unfortunately, lately we have been receiving goods, which are in no fit state to be sold. They are often dropped whilst the shop is closed and must be disposed of in the regular rubbish collections or taken to the recycle centre or tip, both costly for our small service. Please be aware that your rubbish is your responsibility and we ask that you dispose of it accordingly.

Rainfall for Inverleigh
POLICE REPORT FOR APRIL 2018
Hello all, We have had the InverleighWinchelsea and Inverleigh-Shelford Roads resurfaced recently but the roads have been left with an 80 km/h speed limit. Both the roads have numerous signs along them indicating the 80 km/h zone. I do not make the speed limits my role is the enforcement of the zones. If you disagree with the speed limit on the roads you will need to contact Vic Roads. From a recent newspaper article it looks like exceeding the speed limit by 25 km/h or more will soon be earning a 3 month loss of licence instead of a one month penalty. Please be very mindful of this and it follows a trend of increasing penalties for speeding being pursued by TAC and the government. I have recently noticed some vehicles parking outside the Inverleigh hotel very close to the intersection. You are only permitted to park 10 metres from an intersection. I will be speaking to the council about putting a no standing sign up to remind drivers of this prohibited zone. I also had complaints about this issue outside
the Southern farming systems property on High Street next to Dundas Street (Winchelsea Rd) a while ago. Recently some people have been using the grassland next to the Common off Common Road as a skid pan. It has really chewed up the area. If someone sees a vehicle engaged in this activity please let me know. The same penalties for hoon driving also apply to this area. I attended the Inverleigh food swap again recently with my family and again enjoyed the experience. I see a lot of vegetable gardens around the town whilst I am driving around and I am sure that you like me would have excess fruit and vegetables which you can leave at the swap and probably pick up some others which you haven’t grown. It is also a good place to exchange tips and ideas if you are interested in growing your own food. I highly recommend attending when they have the monthly gathering. Keep safe Chris

Serrated Tussock Assistance for Bannockburn South Region
Leigh News 9
Serrated tussock (Nassella trichotoma) is an introduced invasive plant from South America that has the potential to seriously reduce the agricultural capacity of properties and rapidly decrease the biodiversity of native grasslands. To further promote awareness of this noxious weed, the not-for-profit Victorian Serrated Tussock Working Party (VSTWP) has launched a new extension project in a region south of Bannockburn. The project area is bounded by Inverleigh, Teesdale, Bannockburn and Stonehaven and covers 8,250 hectares. Tim Johnston, Extension Officer from the VSTWP, will be offering free inspections and providing expert advice to all landowners in the area over the next 6 months. Mr Johnston advises that “many landholders may not know how to identify and manage serrated tussock and this program aims to increase awareness and provide technical advice on a property by property basis”. “Scattered serrated tussock plants have been observed in the region and adequate control along with early detection of new infestations is critical in managing this invasive plant.” stated Mr. Johnston. Chairman of the VSTWP John Burgess said “I encourage all landholders in the Bannockburn South project area to take up this offer of assistance and where possible work together with their neighbours in controlling this highly invasive weed.” For further information on the extension program, please contact Tim Johnston (VSTWP Extension Officer), M: 0408 534804, E: timjohn4@gmail.com. Also visit the Geelong Landcare Network stall at the Bannockburn Farmers Market. For further information on the VSTWP, along with extension material, case study videos, newsletters and research material, please visit our website www.serratedtussock.com.

AUGUST 2018 CALENDAR
‘Struan Mist’ and Horse Racing at Inverleigh Struan Mist won five consecutive steeplechase races at Flemington and Caulfield in 1961. Owned by Edwin T. Pearce (Ted), Struan Mist was bred on his property, Struan Park on the Teesdale Road and was his most successful horse. Ted had served with the 4th Light Horse at Gallipoli and had a lifelong love of horses and producing good lucerne. Locals remember the horses being trained up the highway verge on Hamilton’s Hill. Fortunately, a framed collection of Struan Mist’s seven wins is still in the Pearce family, other memorabilia being lost in a fire. From newspaper reports horse racing had been formalised in Inverleigh by 1857. There was seven races run as heats with monetary prizes as well as betting and a refreshment stand. Land sales for the township of Inverleigh had only commenced in 1854, so an owners pride in pitting your favourite horse against another, must have been very strong. Often the reports mention side
bets, usually the second placegetter against the winner, for a larger purse. By 1859 these race meetings were called “the Annual Inverleigh Races” and were held over Easter. The Easter carnival continued until 1921 when the Geelong Racing Club decided on that date for their meeting. James Wilson Snr., founder of the famous St Albans stud in Geelong in 1872, started as a trainer on Leigh Estate on the Inverleigh-Shelford Road. Leigh Estate was the horse stud farm of ‘rags to riches’ eccentric squatter John Moffatt. John worked for Clyde Company as a shepherd, then later building the first bridge at Shelford in 1844. Accumulating land and sheep all over western Victoria, John built the magnificent Chatsworth House at Hopkins Hill. He died in Sri Lanka whilst returning from a racehorse buying trip overseas. The Hutchins family of Leigh Park was involved with breeding and racing horses from the late 1940’s with wellknown horses including Ridicule and Sir Doroq, having a local following. Gateway to the West, the 1978 history of Inverleigh, records that the earliest races were held on Woolbrook land
near the corner of Common Road and the Highway. Other mentions are of paddocks belonging to Boyce and Stout finally finding a home on Fullers’ paddock, two miles west of the town. Crowds of 700 are mentioned, with carts bringing spectators from the railway at Leigh Road (Bannockburn). Races for lady owners were included with a ‘Bracelet’ prize. Some years there were combined Murgheboluc, Inverleigh & Winchelsea races held on a paddock at The Falls on the Winchelsea Road. These were great celebrations with brass band renditions and huge crowds. In 1882 it was a combined equestrian and athletic carnival and the news reported this description “The starter proved himself a man of considerable nerve in the dismissal of the pedestrians, for, at great personal risk, he effected the starts with a dilapidated fowling piece, the stock of which was bound to the barrel with string, copper, wire and a tin - a novel weapon, and highly dangerous to the manipulator. This day included a Manx Race which it is assumed was a three legged race, over 150 yards 2019 Calendar - B&W images are currently being collected for next year’s calendar. Please contact Liz McDonald 52651270 if you can contribute.

The day was hosted by Hepburn Primary school and we were also joined by Urquhart Park, Invermay, Mount Blowhard and Miners Rest Primary Schools who form a part of a Communities of Practice of Schools who share a common goal. Our Communities of Practice Goal is to improve our quality of practice and teaching of mathematics and to differentiate lessons to ensure they cater for individual students needs and requirements. We were able to obtain some great skills from this day that we can immediately implement into the classroom. Miss D will also continue working with the other schools that attended to further investigate and implement high quality teaching and learning at our school. On 27th July we attended a Professional Development day for the 7 Steps to Writing Success program which has a brilliant success rate and has seen writing scores improve by 30% in one term. School Website On the last day of Term Two our school website was uploaded and is now live for you to view. I will upload our school newsletters and upcoming dates on the calendar to ensure that everyone is aware of what is happening in terms of excursions and swimming programs etc.

Community Working Bee at Inverleigh Cemetery – Sunday 26th August If anyone is available on Sunday 26th August, the Leigh District Landcare Group would appreciate a hand with some weed control work at the Inverleigh Cemetery. A small Serrated Tussock infestation has become established in the open grassed area in the north west of the site. The plants are small to medium size and we will be chipping them out with mattocks. The Cemetery is regularly mown but if we can dig them out and remove them altogether we will greatly reduce the risk of this weed problem becoming any worse. Come along and help give some TLC to an important public space within our community. We will meet at 10am and will finish up at noon. Come back to the Landcare office in Inverleigh if you wish for a cup of tea afterwards. Equipment will be provided, but bring your own gloves and a preferred mattock or other tool if you like. The Cemetery property is managed by the Inverleigh Cemetery Trust which is made up of a very small number of volunteers who do the necessary administrative work purely out of community spirit. They don’t have many resources and would greatly appreciate some assistance with this weed control task. When: 10am – 12 noon, Sunday 26th August Where: Inverleigh Cemetery, Cemetery Road, Inverleigh Bring: gloves if desired, drinking water, (mattocks will be provided, but BYO if you like).

HOME CARE PACKAGE PROVIDES SUPPORT TO STAY IN OWN HOME
Local residents Mr Wietse (Wal) Kootstra and his wife, Lucia (Lucy), say that their Home Care Package has enabled them to stay living together in their home, the way they want to, with the support they want. Wal and Lucy migrated to Australia from Holland in 1953. They spent most of their life in Meredith, where Wal was a popular handyman and both were heavily involved in the local community. They worked hard and were fiercely independent, raising nine children. In more recent years they moved to Winchelsea to be nearer to support services. Family members do not live nearby, and as neither Wal nor Lucy now drive, access to the community became more difficult. After a referral from a district nurse at Hesse Rural Health, both Wal and Lucy were supported to obtain Home Care Packages. To date, Wal’s package has come through, and this has given them enough support to enable them to remain living at home safely and provide access to the community, including shopping, hairdressing and medical appointments. The Home Care Package program is part of the Commonwealth’s initiative for older Australian citizens.

Dental Health Dental disease is easily preventable and yet it’s one of the most common problems seen in pets. Good oral health is just as important for our pets as it is for the rest of our family. Dogs and cats are stoic creatures, and often won’t show pain. Even pets with sore gums, and broken teeth will continue to eat. Annual health and dental checks are important because dogs and cats age much more quickly than humans.
Dental Month
Throughout the month of August, Bannockburn Veterinary Clinic will be joining the Australian Veterinary Association’s initiative, promoting Pet Dental Health Month. We will be offering 15% off all dental procedures. Dental month is the perfect time to make an appointment with our vets to have your pets oral health examination. Contact the clinic on 52811 221 for an appointment. The clinic also has an extensive range of products to assist with your pets dental health at home.
Oral disease in pets starts with a build up of bacteria that can cause plaque. As bacteria grows in the plaque, the plaque turns to tartar. Dental checks also help ensure bacteria and poisons from dental infections do not spread to the heart, liver and kidneys through the bloodstream. Warning signs of toothache or infection are:
*Bad breath *Stained teeth *Pawing at the mouth *Dropping food when eating *Reluctance to eat *Facial swelling *Receding or inflamed gums
If you think your pet is showing signs of dental disease contact the clinic for an appointment to talk to our vet about your pet’s dental health. Remember a healthy mouth makes for a happy and healthy pet.

Parvo Virus Outbreak We are wanting to let all our valued clients know there has been several cases of parvo virus reported across Geelong and surrounds. Parvovirus is a highly contagious disease that affects dogs, sometimes causing death. Parvovirus is transmitted by contact with dog faeces, but can also be transmitted by contaminated footwear, clothing, and bedding. Parvovirus attacks dog’s gastrointestinal tracts, damaging the linings of the intestinal tract. This causes vomiting, bloody diarrhoea, which
