JAMIESON’S Leading Senior Constable George Crawford has been recognised for his hard work through a nomination for ‘Police Officer of the year’ announced last month.

3AW breakfast host John ‘Sly’ Silvester described him as a “different cat” compared to other one-man police officers.

“He has a degree in fine arts, he speaks fluent Japanese, he’s virtually an international cross-country skier,” Sly said on 3AW Breakfast.

Snr Constable Crawford said the announcement came as a surprise.

“I was on the phone at the time and received multiple text messages from colleagues back in Melbourne congratulating me,” he said.

The Jamieson police officer has been involved in the community in a variety of ways, most notably through the recently-held Emergency Services Expo, which he led.

“This was a great community event that was inclusive to all from around the district; landowners, business

owners, families, and the respective services themselves,” Snr Constable Crawford said.

“Over 20 agencies came to share with many hundred that attended on the day.”

He acknowledged the significance of community support in his work.

“One of my key focuses is to work with those around me to build a more resilient town, which has brought great joy and passion for what I do,” he said.

“We have some significant projects underway in our community that I am blessed to be chairing.

“This recent recognition of the nomination is just as much a reflection on a receptive community taking pride and ownership of this area.

“I want to thank the community for this nomination, for their enthusiastic support.

“I am spoilt with a great community and blessed with an ideal backdrop.”

MANY TALENTS: Snr Constable Crawford (pictured) has a degree in fine arts, speaks fluent Japanese and enjoys skiing.

Cindy McLeish demands an apology from Dan

By HANNAH KENNELLY LIBERAL MP Cindy McLeish has called for an apology from Premier Daniel Andrews after he referred to her as a “half-wit grub” during a heated parliamentary sitting.

The comments were made during a debate over the recommendations in the anti-corruption watchdog’s Operation Clara report.

Ms McLeish described the remark as “hateful “and labelled Mr Andrews as a repeat offender.

“No woman should have to put up with this type of abuse in their workplace,” she said.

“Daniel Andrews is a bully and a hypocrite who has form when it comes to abusing women.

“The premier must apologise.”

Mr Andrews withdrew the comments after requests from the opposition, but refused to issue an apology, saying he was defending his colleague Kat Theophanous from Ms McLeish.

During a press conference

NOT HAPPY: MP Cindy McLeish has called for an apology from Premier Daniel Andrews. outside parliament, Ms McLeish alleged the premier made insulting comments about former liberal MP and colleague Donna Bauer in 2014.

The allegations, which initially surfaced in 2016, have been strenuously denied by Mr Andrews.

During question time last Tuesday, Ms McLeish asked Minister for Women Natalie Hutchins to apologise on behalf of the government for Mr Andrews’ behaviour.

Ms Hutchins refused and defended the premier.

Ms McLeish told the Mansfield Courier she was not surprised by Ms Hutchins’ refusal.

“I wanted to make her [Hutchins] think about it,” she said.

“As Minister for Women, I would have liked her to support me.

“I don’t anticipate an apology from the premier because it’s not his form to backtrack on anything.”

Ms McLeish said it was disappointing behaviour to see from a government “who talk about gender equality all the time”.

“They need to do more than just talk about it, they need to actually demonstrate it,” she said.

Ms McLeish said it was important for everyone to “uphold parliamentary standards”, regardless of their position.

“Like any workplace, it’s always about respect.”

Factors considered included visibility, safety, amenity, and the impact on events.

The final proposed location is on the High St median strip opposite Eisner’s Lane.

The rocks and town signage which currently occupy the space will be relocated to the other side of the footpath to make way for the sculpture, which will be centrally located in this prominent section of the median.

Mayor Cr James Tehan thanked the public for their interest and input.

“Council is grateful to both the community for having their say and to Dr Will and Margie Twycross’ for their generous donation,” he said.

“We believe this is a truly iconic sculpture which will showcase part of our region’s rich history, and the prominent location selected will give everyone the opportunity to enjoy it.”

FOR most of Ed Adamson’s 80 years, social justice and caring for the land has been part and parcel of who he is, and throw in his love of music, and this is one busy individual.

His passion for environmental issues has not waned in recent years.

Despite the dire forecasts for the planet’s survival, he believes the younger generation has the ability and desire to turn things around.

“I have hope when I see more than 150,000 young people marching for urgent action on climate change,” said Ed. He loves supporting younger people and is a member of Sustainability Mansfield, which was recently incorporated.

The group is a collective of local people concerned and interested in sustainability across the Mansfield and district region.

Ed’s love of the land began early on the family-owned 1000 acres at Mirimbah, near Merrijig.

Although he spent time growing up in the city, where he loved to explore the Elwood Canal, he was drawn to a career that involved farming.

“I was absolutely a rebel at school and wanted to do something practical,” Ed said.

He speaks fondly about his time at the Longerenong Agricultural College, near Horsham in Victoria’s Wimmera region, describing it as a “fantastic” and “hands-on” experience.

“We got to milk cows, kill chickens, collect eggs, and sew wheat bags,” Ed recalled.

Although Ed already knew how to drive a tractor, that was also available.

There was also an orchard and cannery on-site where students got to fill 20 litre drums with fruit.

Ed said the college hosted 150

Championing environmental issues and social justice has been a life’s work for Ed Adamson j

ED ADAMSON: A social justice advocate and protector of the environment. students and serviced 28 houses.

From agricultural college, Ed’s interest in land use was deepened with a position with the state Soil Conservation Authority.

He was posted to Alexandra, working with landowners and groups to conserve their land and manage catchment areas.

It was much later when Landcare groups were established.

Ed said he conducted work around the hills of Bonnie Doon, Merton, and Spring Creek near Alexandra, where he met some great farming families, including the Kippings and Fridays.

Later, Ed worked for the Australian Conservation Foundation in conjunction with the National Farmers’ Federation on a national soil conservation project in the mid-80s and was able to help secure $24 million from the government to continue the work.

Fast forward, and Ed considers conservation, appropriate land use, catchment management and statutory planning as serious issues for our local area

and key to our roles as “custodians” of the land.

“There is a big problem with the state planning scheme,” he said.

His concerns prompted him to study for a degree in environmental science as a mature age student.

Another issue close to Ed’s heart is that of refugees and their treatment by our government.

Ed has been a member for the past five years of Mansfield’s Rural Australians for Refugees (RAR), which advocates for social justice for these individuals and their families.

Ed, with his wife of 17 years, Sue McDonald, is sponsoring an Afghani man from Kabul whose crime, according to the Taliban, was working in a non-government position teaching literacy to young girls.

The young man’s future is “in limbo” as he marks time in Pakistan.

Ed’s sense of social justice began as a young boy, “At school,

I always stood up for the kids who were bullied,” he even took some boxing lessons from a Finnish man who said you do not fight anyone smaller than yourself.

“I have grown up with the mantra of respect for others,” he added.

The other passion in Ed’s life is music, and he is a regular in the MAD (Mansfield & District) Orchestra playing the trumpet and flugelhorn.

He also now spends time in Melbourne playing with two other bands in the city, which he greatly enjoys.

In earlier years, Ed performed in many MMuDS (Mansfield Musical & Dramatic Society) musicals, including HMS Pinafore and playing an evil magician in Aladdin, both in the early 1990s.

As Ed reflects on the wisdom of getting older, he says, “I am much calmer and more considered now, but still willing to take on a challenge,” and hopeful he has left a legacy for the next generation.

Gadhaba Gathering Place to be officially opened next week THE Gadhaba Local Aboriginal Network (GLAN) with Chair Miranda Connaughton have invited the community to the formal opening of the Gadhaba Gathering Place during NAIDOC Week from July 2 to 9 2023.

In 2021, GLAN received funding, under auspice of the Taungurung Land and Waters Council, from the Victorian Government, through the Covid-19 Response and Recovery Fund.

The project enabled GLAN to create a welcoming cultural space at the Mansfield Station Precinct, to improve mental health and connectivity.

The Gadhaba Gathering Place has been created by local Aboriginal residents who were integrally involved in designing and establishing the area.

Many people from the Mansfield community have already enjoyed this space, and the broader community are invited to continue exploring and utilising the Gathering Place in the lead-up to the opening.

The project involved many activities and installations which are important to social and mental wellbeing.

Central to the Gathering Place are the use of local materials and the engagement of local people.

Local clan group, YowumIllum-Balluk are stone dwelling people, so large rocks donated by the Forrest family are positioned around a central fire pit area.

Rocks on the western side have been etched by well-known Aboriginal artist Chris Thorne.

Carvings include traditional symbols for meeting place, water hole and campsite, emu tracks, kangaroo tracks, boomerang, coolamon, mountains, Spirit person and Spirit child, and Elder telling stories to young children.

Other activities undertaken through the project by Taungurung Elders and Gadhaba participants include the planting of Indigenous garden beds, clap stick making, possum skin pelt etching, storytelling and the striking Deberra Mosaic, a central feature to be unveiled on Sunday July 2.

The mosaic has been a cen-

CENTRAL LOCATION: The Gadhaba Gathering Place is close to the station precinct.

O’Brien tral activity of the project, with the group guided by local mosaic artist Sue Binzer-Jones, and Taungurung artist Talitha Annuscheit, to establish the designs and cultural narrative depicted in the artwork.

Eighteen distinctive moths were created in studio workshops using local stone, slate and Venetian glass, and then installed on site.

The completed mosaic illustrates the annual September migration of Deberra (Bogong) moths in flight over the Mansfield region on their way to spend summer in the High Country, after a journey of over 1000 kilometres.

Historically, First Nations peoples who lived near alpine regions would travel to the mountains for the annual moth harvest, a tradition which goes back at least 20,000 years.

The moths provided them with both a rich and reliable food source, and the opportunity for ceremony and trade.

The abundant moths were netted, cooked and ground into a delicious paste which could

be smoked and preserved for weeks.

The Deberra Mosaic symbolises invisible rhythms of the moth that were well understood by local Aboriginal people, and the bountiful sustenance and community connection associated with their arrival.

Gadhaba are grateful to local firm Tectonic Civil for valued and innovative input with formation of the site, including rock placement and pillars for the mosaic installation.

Uncle Vern Simsen tended to maintenance of the garden beds and lawn establishment during some very hot summer months, to ensure all can enjoy the Gathering Place.

Further planting may be undertaken by Gadhaba, and Mansfield Shire Council has taken responsibility for ongoing upkeep of the site.

Another highlight is an Acknowledgement Rock at the entrance to the Gathering Place, which features hand prints from people who have made long term and significant contributions to Aboriginal awareness in

Mansfield, especially at the Station Precinct.

Hand carved prints include Aunty Bernadette Franklin, Chris Thorne, Peter Olver, and non-Aboriginal contributors Elin Ree and Dr Will Twycross.

Future generations are represented by children Jonno Annuscheit and Kasey Taylor, from local Aboriginal families.

The activities which took place to bring the Gathering Place to its current form have transformed this central and previously unused public land space at the entry to the Rail Trail, with support from Mansfield Shire Council.

The formation of pathways, planting and seating invite people to feel connected to the Gathering Place site, and to each other.

Adjacent to the old goods shed, and behind the Visitor Information Centre, the Gathering Place entrance path leads in from the Scarred Tree on the rail platform, and will be connected by new pathways to the Heritage Cultural Museum currently in progress.

ON June 19 we said farewell to an amazing man.

Phil Dudley who, lived in Jamieson, was the much-loved husband of 69 years to Seve and father to Lorraine Vaartjes, who resides in Brisbane, and Sharon Scott from Kevington.

Phil passed away peacefully in the Mansfield hospital and his wife and two daughters, and grandson Shane, were by his side.

Phil was born in Liverpool in the UK - he spent 22 years in the British Army, serving in Kenya, Aden (Yemen), Cyprus, and Germany.

Ten years of Phils military life was in the Parachute Regiment and 12 in the Intelligence Corps. During his career Phil found himself in many precarious situations, from being reported missing for two weeks and thought dead after wildfires in Cyprus, Phil kept his whole platoon safe and brought them to safety.

He then received a commendation of the middle east commanderin-chief after working 72 hours with hardly a break after being called out when a Coup d’etat occurred in one of the East African territories.

He worked in complete seclusion and secrecy preparing air photographic mosaics which proved to be invaluable in the planning process for 24 Infantry Brigade group.

There are so many fascinating stories that could be told about Phil’s career in the British Army, and those who have heard them will surely attest to that.

The military career was not always serious, Phil was a body dou-

Where’s the services?

WITH rapid expansion planned for Mansfield, will

access to medical facilities be upgraded?

Most health professionals are already swamped and cannot offer the services they would like to provide.

Are medical facilities planned for the autistic centre?

This massive development will attract families from all over Australia and health care will be a top priority.

Our dedicated health professionals can only provide what is humanely possible.

Future infrastructure must be a top priority for the viability of our special town.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

any business that wants to sell tobacco, can do so without a licence.

Queensland recently changed its tobacco control laws to require businesses that want to sell tobacco to be strictly licensed.

Unlike in Victoria, tobacco retailers in QLD need to pass criminal background checks and be legally deemed ‘fit and proper persons’ to trade.

QLD authorities now have the power to prosecute and shut down renegade retailers that deliberately break the law – that’ll go a long way to stopping sales of any tobacco or e-cigarette product to kids.

ADVENTURES: Farmhouse kids exploring the great outdoors.

Funtimes at the Farmhouse THESE school holidays, The Farmhouse has embraced its own backyard for a full program of activities that celebrates the simpler things in life.

“The things we remember friends we’ve made and activities we’ve been part of - become the fond memories we hold onto for the rest of our lives,” said Farmhouse founder Kim Stoney.

“It’s long been said, and scientifically supported, that a healthy childhood leads to healthy adulthood.

“And that development, is both physical and mental.

“The foundations made in childhood, will serve you for the rest of your life.

“So our goal at the Farmhouse is to nurture that development and foster happiness and resilience amongst our young charges, to give them those tools to grow into

healthy and well-adjusted adults.

“Happy early life experiences allow children to develop better problem-solving skills and explore their creativity.

“Engaged and involved children display less behavioural problems, with elevated self-esteem, which leads ultimately to increased ‘life satisfaction’,” Kim said.

But what makes for a happy childhood ?

“When children are engaged in ‘doing’ activities they develop a sense of mastery and self-sufficiency which leads to being healthier and happier,” Kim said.

“Put simply, they thrive.

“How valued children feel by their parents, educators and peers also influences their desire for selfimprovement.

“Children raised in an environment where they have autonomy

tend to have better psychological and psychosocial functioning.

“This is because they feel in control of their own lives and they can take charge of their learning journey and friendships.”

Kim believes that in this space they really develop their resilience and problem-solving skills.

How do parents provide all of this for their child when they’re busy working to earn money for every day living ?

“The great outdoors has long been linked with providing wonderful physical and mental health benefits, re-energising the soul and restoring balance to our lives,” said KIm “Adults reflecting on childhood realise these early experiences are a collection of moments; snapshots in time peppered with smiles and laughter.

“For many though, ‘the good ‘ol days’ are harder to come by.

“Short on time and access to space, children spend more time on technology than ever before, as well as rushing from one activity to the next.”

To combat this, these winter holidays The Farmhouse has committed to give local children time to relish the great outdoors and enjoy childhood moments similar to those their grandparents speak so fondly of.

The Farmhouse has their own one-kilometre native corridor onsite so children can fossick and spy native creatures, build cubbies, play games and connect with friends as they roast marshmallows and enjoy living in the moment.

“It takes a village to raise a child, so when parents are busy it’s reassuring to know we have a local service so invested in our children’s health and happiness and dedicated to empowering our children to live their best lives,” Kim said.

RAINBOW Trout are being used by the Victorian Government to stock more than 80 lakes across Victoria just in time for the holidays.

More than 30,000 catchable-size trout have been released ahead of the two-week break for students.

The state-wide stocking program released almost 10 million fish in 2022, with the majority produced at Snobs Creek and the VFA’s native hatchery at Arcadia.

The program is supported by the reinvestment of recreational fishing licence fees and the government’s recent $96 million investment to improve fishing, boating, piers and aquaculture.

Rainbow trout are the ideal catch for budding fishers as they take a variety of widely available baits like worms or PowerBait.

Minister for Outdoor Recreation Sonya Kilkenny said this initiative is a great opportunity to get kids outdoors over the holidays.

“Wetting a line for a rainbow trout gives you the chance to make lasting memories while introducing young fishers to a new pastime,” she said.

“Family Fishing Lakes are located across Victoria and feature good access, regular stockings of catchable-size fish and many are located within suburban areas or close to town so kids everywhere can try their luck.”

Winter weather prompts heater warning FIREFIGHTERS are urging local residents to ensure their heating systems are regularly inspected, following a spike in concerns around heater fires as winter sets in.

So far this year, emergency crews have attended 23 heater fires across the state, a figure expected to jump as a result of increased reliance on home heating systems such as fires, wood heaters, and electrical, gas and kerosene heaters.

CFA and Fire Rescue Victoria firefighters respond to an average of 3000 residential fire incidents across the state each year, with more than 240 linked to heating systems.

CFA acting chief officer Garry Cook said it was important appliances were serviced every two years.

“We’ve already seen CFA respond to 23 heater fire incidents this year, and we’re only just entering the winter season,” he said.

“We know from last year’s data that most fires that resulted in serious injuries and fatalities started in lounge rooms and sleeping areas, and for those lounge rooms, these were mostly sparked by heating systems that at times were not working properly and when located too close to flammable materials.

“Regardless of when you turn a

heater on, just be mindful to turn them off before you leave the house or go to sleep.”

FRV commissioner Gavin Freeman said the colder months are some of the riskiest times of the year for fires in the home.

“Taking a few moments to check your heaters and fireplaces before winter sets in could mean the difference between life and death for your family,” he said.

“Make sure your heaters are regularly cleaned, serviced, or checked by a certified technician – don’t leave portable heaters unattended and always supervise children near all types of heaters.

“Don’t forget to check in on any

outdoor heaters you may have as well, ensuring the area they are positioned in is flat, has good air flow and away from objects that can catch alight.

“As their purpose is to be outside, never use your outdoor heaters or cooking equipment inside your home, as it can lead to deadly build-up of gases.”

Residents are encouraged to purchase a heater with an automatic safety switch that will turn off the heater if tipped over, and urged to ensure children are supervised near all types of heating.

For more information, visit https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/fires-in-the-home.

STAY SAFE: Residents are being urged to take care when using heating devices throughout the winter months.

Reach out if you or a loved one is experiencing elder abuse NATIONAL Seniors Australia shined a light on financial elder abuse as part of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day recently.

Chief advocate Ian Henschke said people can be at increased risk of abuse as they get older.

Sadly, he said those closest to them (including family, carers or friends) are the most likely perpetrators of abuse.

“Elder abuse can take many forms, but financial abuse is the most common,” Mr Henschke said.

“Some 85 per cent of elder financial abuse is committed by family, with children accounting for nearly 50pc.

“As opposed to scams by strangers, financial abuse can involve a person in a position of trust coercing or forcing an older person to sign over assets or to change a will or power of attorney, stealing money or taking credit cards.

“Older people fall victim to such abuses because they might never expect a loved one to take advantage of them, can’t stop it, or are too embarrassed to go to the police.”

In 2019 National Seniors made a submission to the Federal Attorney General recommending consistent and strengthened Enduring

Mayor’s Report Monthly M hly update pd ffrom C Cr JJames TTehan h

VULNERABLE: As opposed to scams by strangers, financial abuse can involve a person in a position of trust coercing or forcing an older person to sign over assets or to change a will or power of attorney, stealing money or taking credit cards.

Mr Henschke said this hasn’t happened and the issue was raised recently by Age Discrimination Commissioner Dr Kay Patterson who expressed frustration that action hadn’t been taken sooner.

He said National Seniors would also like to see implementation of the National Plan to Respond to the Abuse of Older Australians.

“Financial loss in later life is particularly devastating,” Mr Henschke said.

“Unfortunately, people don’t always seek help and identifying abuse can be hard.

“It can go unreported as it happens behind closed doors, by people in positions of trust.”

Debi Fisher, managing lawyer generalist services

Hume Riverina Community Legal Service (HRCLS), said elder abuse is an issue that can be found anywhere.

“We know that elder abuse is under-reported in our communities and many people are unaware of the signs, including financial abuse and exploitation,” Ms Fisher said. “We also know that all forms of domestic and family violence increase after a disaster and we want people to know that they are not alone and that there are services there to help them.

“We have both family violence and generalist lawyers regularly visiting [the North East], so if anyone needs free legal advice about elder abuse or any other sort of everyday legal problem, they should give us a call (02 6055 8090) for a free appointment.”

FIRSTLY, I would like to congratulate CEO Kirsten Alexander and her team who contributed to the recent budget process.

In a challenging operating and economic environment they worked incredibly hard to put forward what I believe is a very sound and economically responsible budget that responds to community input.

With inflation running at seven per cent, a State Government rate cap of 3.5 per cent, and increased waste charges due to EPA and State Government taxes, the only way to balance this budget was through significant cost savings and/or increased revenue.

I’m proud to say that this has been achieved.

Cost savings of approximately $500,000 and increased investment revenue of $250,000 have made balancing this budget possible.

It’s also worth noting the proposed changes to the rating differentials, which Council has adjusted each year to ensure each rating category increase is broadly in line with the proposed rate increase overall.

Extensive community consultation resulted in over 100 budget submissions.

The majority have been

included in this budget alongside a record capital works program.

The result is a budget which will enable Council to not only fund its services but also provide for the future prosperity and wellbeing of our Shire.

The resealing and asphalting program for 2022-23 was completed this month with a total expenditure of $2,144,696 and 29.3 kilometres of roads resealed.

The works undertaken by contractors, CountryWide Asphalt & Civil Pty Ltd and Boral Asphalt Pty Ltd, have resulted in significantly improved road surfaces for residents, farmers, local businesses and other road users across the Shire.

Council looks after 280 kilometres of sealed roads across the Shire, however do not maintain arterial roads that are the responsibility of the State Government, such as the Jamieson-Woods Point Road, Midland Highway, Maroondah Highway and the Mansfield-Whitfield Road.

Also launched by Council this past month was a new community pet support program for vulnerable residents with free microchipping and desexing for their pets.

The aim of the program is

to support our vulnerable or disadvantaged residents and to reduce the number of unwanted/stray animals in the Shire.

Ongoing registration fees will also be lower for all desexed dogs and cats.

Residents who wish to access the relief package, available until December 31 2023, can obtain vouchers from Council’s municipal office at 33 Highett Street Mansfield, on presentation of their concession card or referral.

The Art on the Great Victorian Rail Trail Project was officially opened in May at an event at Trawool Estate.

It was wonderful to see the completed installation of these creative artworks along the trail and I would like to thank both Mitchell Shire and Murrindindi Shire for their partnership and to the State Government for funding this project.

Rounding out the month was the announcement of Jamieson being nominated as one of five finalists for the 2023 TAC Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards in the Tiny Tourism Town category.

The whole shire is known for its beautiful landscapes and friendly charm and it’s fantastic to see Jamieson getting recognised for what they offer.

IMPROVEMENTS ON THE HORIZON: Mansfield Shire Council will be taking community views into consideration for its long-term plans for the Station Precinct.

All aboard for station precinct consultation

By SAMUEL O’BRIEN

MANSFIELD Shire Council officers and councillors met with community members earlier this month to consult on the long term vision for the Station Precinct, Visitor Information Centre and Mullum Wetlands area.

Representatives of a variety of groups including the Historical Society, Friends of the Great Victorian Rail trail and Mansfield Athletics as well as residents of the area were in attendance, voicing their opinions and suggesting ideas to improve the area.

Mansfield Shire Council Strategic Planning Officer Oscar Yenken said, “It was fantastic to hear the community voices and ideas at this consultation.

“The tranquillity of the Station Precinct, with its mature trees, wetlands and bird life, was a feature that the community deeply cherished and hopes to see maintained in the future.

“The draft plans discussed during this walk will now be updated considering community feedback before another round of public consultation over the revised plans in the near future.”

Opportunities to make existing infrastructure more accessible were put forward,

with the movement of the sewage dump point away from the station precinct and the horse yards to a location near Withers Lane discussed in detail.

Accessibility and safety were key factors in suggestions made to council officers, as concerns around the safety of the Mullum Wetlands walk addressed.

It was proposed that a shared pathway would run from the station precinct parallel to the Great Victorian Rail Trail (GVRT) and extend along the Maroondah Highway near Mansfield’s Mullum Wetlands, connecting back up to the existing path as it heads towards Withers Lane.

The 2.5 metre wide path would allow extra separation between cyclists, pedestrians, and horse riders, to improve the experience and safety for users, with community members wanting to maintain the character of the area instead of removing trees to widen the existing path.

The possibility of creating a loop with the new path would also allow runners to train in the precinct and provide an alternate location for park runs.

Mayor Cr James Tehan said community safety is a high priority for this project.

“We have listened to the community feedback and the need to deliver infrastructure improvements to cater for our growing community and the increasing community use of the Rail Trail,” he said.

Many other projects were discussed, including the placement of a dog park, pump track and restoration of the old sheep loading yards.

Deputy Mayor Cr Steve Rabie, who attended the consultation session, said he enjoyed hearing the constructive suggestions and engagement from local community members.

“We look forward the seeing the updated plan for this important location at the entrance to Mansfield,” he said.

At the Visitor Information Centre, parking accessibility was discussed, with community members in agreeance to keep the current parking setup, suggesting that council investigate ensuring busses and caravans would be able to reliably use the existing infrastructure.

Mayor Tehan explained community feedback and suggestions are open until Wednesday, June 21 on the Engage Mansfield website.

“We encourage and welcome community feedback on this project,” he said.

A MAN has pled guilty to drunk and disqualified driving at the Mansfield Magistrates court last month.

The man was observed driving north on the Maroondah Highway in Barjarg and, when intercepted by police, was unable to produce his license.

When the man was

identified, police found that his license had been cancelled and disqualified due to a previous drink driving offence.

The man participated in a breath test which read that there was alcohol in his system and, upon further testing, it was determined that he was driving while over the legal alcohol limit.

The man’s vehicle was

then impounded and, when questioned, the man admitted to having his license disqualified.

In court, the magistrate confirmed that the man had been caught drink-driving multiple times in the past in a variety of locations.

The man was found guilty and fined $1500 and disqualified from driving for four years.

Budget doesn’t deliver for housing LIBERAL Member for Northern Victoria Wendy Lovell has criticised the Victorian Government’s lack of action on addressing ballooning wait times for social housing in the North East.

The total families waiting to be housed in Mansfield Shire rose to 76 with 37 families having priority status.

In Murrindindi Shire, the total families waiting to be housed rose to 199 with 123 families having priority status.

The state budget revealed that in June 2022, families with the priority status - escaping domestic violence - were waiting 16.1 months to be housed.

This measure increased by five months on the June 2021 figure of 11.1 months.

Families who are homeless, living with a disability or with special housing needs are also waiting longer with the June 2022 wait increasing to 13.9 months from 12.4 months in June 2021.

Families with priority status are those who are deemed to be in immediate need of housing and are escaping family violence, are homeless or at risk of recurring homelessness, living with a disability or have special housing needs.

“The State Government is leaving some of Victoria’s most vulnerable residents languishing on an ever-growing waiting list with little prospect of gaining a house any time soon,” Ms Lovell said.

“Last week the Minister admitted in the Budget Estimates hearings that the Housing Big Build will only add around 8000 additional Social Housing homes, which would leave almost 60,000 families on Labor’s evergrowing waiting list.”

Delatite Winery wins architecture award

By SAMUEL O’BRIEN

THE Delatite Winery has won the Commercial Architecture Award from the 2023 Victorian Architecture Awards for the design of its cellar door.

Opened in June 2021, the building was designed by Lucy Clemenger Architects and takes advantage of the stunning views over Mt Buller and the Alpine Range.

Managing Director David Ritchie said he was delighted to win the award, noting the significance for the region.

“It great to think that other architects can see the beauty of the building as well and recognise what a great and beautiful sustainable commercial building it is,” he said.

“We know it is a beautiful building but it is so nice to think that the Victorian Architecture Awards agree with us.”

The design of the building was

“The colour of the bricks are designed to blend into the summer grass, the greens used in the interiors are taken from walking along the

Howqua river and the use of timber was inspired from local fishing and cattleman’s huts,” Mr Ritchie said.

The new cellar door is also a significant capacity increase, allowing for more tourists, locals and passersby to enjoy the food and drink on offer, hosting up to 60.

Mr Ritchie also explained the new design supported local business by utilising materials and labour sourced in the Mansfield Region.

“We really wanted the new building to highlight our commitment to being as sustainable as possible,” he said.

A total of 249 entries were accepted for consideration across 10 direct categories in the 2023 Victorian Architecture Awards, the highest number of entries in the country.

The nomination and win has boosted visitorship at the winery with Mr Ritchie hoping to draw more people to locations between Melbourne and Mt Buller.

“The landscape itself delivers to a positive experience,” he said.

“We have people who come and visit to catch up near the fireplace regardless of whether it is winter or summer.

“The vision was to draw more people to the area and we certainly have achieved that.”

ART IN MANSFIELD

Redbelly Culture, a shop for artists by artists

ART SUPPLIES: Located in the Mansfield Shopping Village, Redbelly Culture stocks everything you need for your artistic project.

EMBRACING COLOUR: Marty McQuillan owner of Redbelly Culture also offers a design and mural service, with his artwork on display in his new shopfront.

THE retail side of Redbelly Culture initially began as a side hustle during COVID, when Marty McQuillan set up an online shop operating out of a room in his Mansfield home.

The response was so positive however that even Marty was surprised by how rapidly the business took off, and what initially began as selling art supplies to people around Australia, was met with enthusiasm by a worldwide market.

A chef by trade, Marty’s own background in art is predominantly with aerosols and street art, and so his online store primarily focused on this aspect of the industry, one of just a handful of specialised stores in the state and country to offer such an extensive range.

“At this stage it was all from home but with demand continuing to grow, there were plans for a shopfront,” Marty said.

The birth of a new baby and the ongoing success of the business meant he needed to relocate the business, with the resulting shopfront at the northern end of the Mansfield Shopping Village opening for trade last Tuesday.

“It’s been a crazy and amazing week,” said Marty of the support shown by the community for his new endeavour.

“I’m already working

with some of the local art groups and would love to collaborate with not just the council, but with all the shire schools and any interested community organisations.

“There are plans for workshops and classes in the future, and I also offer up a mural service where I can work with businesses and individuals to design artwork to suit their particular project.”

A labour of love, Marty was still working full time as a chef when he renovated the space, painting a vibrant mural on the back wall, whilst also running the online side of Redbelly Culture.

Inspirational and inviting, the vision behind the bricks-and-mortar store is a place for artists by artists, with Marty expanding the Redbelly range to include a huge selection of fine art materials.

And this is only set to grow, with additional shelving ordered and more products arriving weekly.

“We also take custom orders from people who are looking for specific products or brands, with another point of difference being our quick turnaround.

“It’s a commitment we make to ship straight away, and if we don’t have a product in stock, we’ll get it in.

“Or we’ll source it.

“Come in for a chat and

tell me exactly what you’re looking for and I’ll find a way to make it happen,” he said.

The huge range of aerosols in a rainbow of colours have been met with approval by numerous local artists, who prefer to use the paint for their larger pieces or on a variety of mediums.

“And we have a selection of brands at varying price points to suit different budgets,” said Marty.

For Marty the shopfront is a long-held teenage dream that his 14-year-old envisaged whilst working on his own art.

“I’ve wanted to do this for as long as I can remember,” he said.

“To be able to commit 100 per cent and be surrounded by everything I love and have that time for my own artwork and design is amazing.

“I’m currently working on my own magazine featuring and celebrating renowned street artists from around Australia, and there are a few other plans in the pipeline which are all very exciting.

“And when there are no walk-ins, the online sales keep me busy.”

Redbelly Culture is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30am to 5pm, with the full stock-range available instore or online with pick-up or delivery anywhere in Australia.

EXTENSIVE RANGE: If Redbelly Culture doesn’t stock the colour or brand you’re looking for they’ll get it in.

ART IN MANSFIELD

Making thirty years in Mansfield

By EMMA OLIVER THE celebrations have begun in earnest for Made in Mansfield as the High Street shop ticked over thirty years in operation this May. And such a momentous milestone deserves a fitting tribute, with a year of festivities rolling out this June to mark the anniversary.

“Thirty years is worth celebrating,” said Rosemary Lloyd from Made in Mansfield.

“We are immensely proud of our little shop, and that we are the shop of choice for both locals and visitors alike, when they are looking for that one– off high quality handmade article or original artwork.

“And we just want to thank our wonderful customers for their support.”

As a gesture of thanks, each month from June 2023 through to May 2024 Made in Mansfield will be giving away a $50 voucher to one lucky customer to spend in–store.

It was in 1993, that 16 local artists and craftspeople from the region opened a shopfront on Highett Street, showcasing a variety of artistic disciplines and Over the next 30 years, more than 50 artists would become involved with the collective, investing their time and energy in first creating and then contributing to the general operations

LOCAL ARTISAN: Rosemary Lloyd of Jamieson Rose, with one of her cork handbags. and running expenses of the shop.

“Currently we have 12 members in the cooperative, creating everything from wall art to homewares, garden art and personal accessories.

“All artwork and craft – as the name Made in Mansfield suggests – is designed and produced locally by our members.

“We call ourselves a gallery and giftware shop, with each artist working with different media in their own distinct styles to produce high–end work,” said Rosemary, who works in cork creating handbags, accessories and jewellery under the moniker Jamieson Rose.

A MANSFIELD MEMENTO: Gift cards and hand–made jewellery are all available at Made in Mansfield.

“We have Peter and Sue Gardener who predominantly create turned wood pieces, and Kay Czochara whose expertise is glass.

“Sally Harvey of Crockett Print primarily screen prints textiles, but also works in metal producing plasma–cut garden art.

“And we have Wendy Jagger‘s ceramics and oil paintings, alongside Anne Slater‘s paintings.

“Pam Sumpter is also a ceramicist, as well as creating metal garden sculptures.

“Amanda Swaney is a photographer who also makes homewares, with Eliza Foster also specializing in homewares and bags.

“Eliza salvages fabrics des-

“Linda Tucker creates wall art and rope bowls, as well as jewellery.

“Fiona Wood also makes jewellery as part of her repertoire, alongside novelty gratitude items, oil paintings and painted plant pots.

“And then we have Marlene Answer–Lewis of Redgrate Quilting, who has turned her hand towards hand–cranked woolen socks and accessories, in the most glorious colours.”

Made in Mansfield also stocks a large array of cards created by many of the artists, making the shop a first

port–of–call when looking for the perfect gift or memento.

Members of the collective staff the shop six days per week through a duty roster, meaning one of the makers is always on–hand to answer questions and talk about the process and inspiration behind the pieces.

“It‘s a lovely way for the buyer to feel they have a personal relationship with their purchase, and make that connection,” said Rosemary.

Rosemary encouraged local artists to reach out to Made in Mansfield as new members are always welcome.

“The main prerequisite is that artists are able and will-

ing to work in the shop for up to 20 hours per month,” she said.

“However, this doesn‘t feel like a chore.

“It‘s a lovely space, with an ever–changing collection of curated artworks and crafts.”

For many of the members who have retired, the shop also represents an opportunity for them to concentrate on their art giving them an outlet to sell their creations.

Rosemary herself managed the marketing for a national healthcare service before retiring to Jamieson, and loves the creative outlet that Made in Mansfield represents.

“Our members come from such diverse backgrounds; from business to accounting, to nursing, corporate management and teaching.

“Two of our younger members still work as art teachers and manage to fit Made in Mansfield into their busy work and family schedules.

“It‘s that sort of place,” said Rosemary.

“We have members who come and go, due to life circumstances, but many often return when they‘re able as the experience is such a positive one.

“That support and encouragement from your peers and fellow creatives and from the community in general, is one of the reasons we‘re here celebrating 30 years.”

We’re celebrating our 30th birthday and giving you the presents.

Each month from July 2023 - June 2024 we’re giving our customers the chance to win a $50 voucher to spend in-store.

PONDAGE: Deepening of the existing wetland area is part of the masterplan to alleviate future flooding, and increase water retention.

PARKLANDS: Land allocated for inclusion into the Botanic Park adjoins the site.

New masterplan for Botanic Park nears completion

By EMMA OLIVER COUNCIL is inviting further local engagement to ensure that the masterplan for the Mansfield Botanical Park adequately and faithfully reflects the community’s vision for the public space.

The strategic planning officer at Mansfield Shire Council, Oscar Yencken along with various council staff members recently conducted a site walk, giving interested community members the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback on the proposed plans.

“Our parks are more than just patches of green,” said Mr Yencken.

“They are an important part of Mansfield, and it was fantastic to see community members meaningfully engage with council on the fu-

Park is also still overseen and managed by the developers of the adjoining subdivision.

The land which is floodprone and as a result unsuitable for redevelopment will come across to the council, who will manage the land altogether and accordingly.

Considered plantings, improved stormwater drainage and deepening of the existing wetland -creating a semi-retardation basin to retain increased water flow - are all part of the masterplan to alleviate flooding in the case of an event.

Council also proposes making infrastructure, like pathways and increased parking, more permanent moving away from gravel which washes away, towards concrete and bitumen.

With lots of water run-

ture of Botanic Park.”

With the engagement process anticipated to take place over several months, this was the first of two rounds of community engagement, with the final masterplan expected to be completed and presented to council in August.

As yet there is no proposed timeline with funding yet to be sourced.

Council is also intent on getting the balance right between what is a good asset, and what is too much of an asset to manage and maintain to a high standard.

As a result the masterplan is the long term vision for the site, with refurbishment and construction at the Botanics to be staggered over a period of time.

Land allocated for incorporation into the Botanic

ning through the site at various times of the year, avenues of trees are planned to ameliorate the problem, with the entrance into the new carpark to be a treelined boulevard.

Another priority in the current masterplan is a selection of off-leash areas allocated for various sized dogs, with the intention of moving dogs away from the proximity of the children’s playground.

Community demand for a pump track was recognized, however council is determining whether another location like the Station Precinct development might be more appropriate, being close to the rail trail.

A splash park is not on the agenda in the Botanics however, with council also mentioning the Station Precinct or Mirimbah

Park for consideration.

Mark Bennetts, Chief Operating Officer for Mt Buller and Mt Stirling Alpine Resorts, confirmed that the shire has been involved in discussions on a masterplan for the Mirimbah precinct at the entrance to the resorts, including the possibility of a feature attraction involving water play.

“While the masterplan is still in the preliminary stages, it would be good if something can be done that’s natural and connected with the river and surroundings, rather than the sort of splash parks provided at theme parks.”

“It’s something we know is desirable in the region,” said Mr Bennetts.

In regards to desirability for the Botanic Park, council has decided to concentrate

more on creating a relaxed low-key experience with increased seating, picnic tables and shelter, improved infrastructure for hosting events and festivals, along with a trail riding circuit and accessible garden beds.

“The Botanic Park community engagement provided council with valuable feedback and will assist with redrafting the masterplan before another round of community consultation,” confirmed Mayor Cr James Tehan.

“There was keen interest in improving the information available to dog owners and there was also a desire for upgraded signage, specifically within the Community Garden.

“I’d like to thank everyone in the community who has given their time and feedback on this masterplan.”

North East regional news in brief Euroa councillor resigns DAVE Andrews has resigned from his role as a Strathbogie Shire councillor, citing health reasons and revealing he found his 20 months as a councillor disappointing.

Mr Andrews, one of two councillors who represented the Lake Nagambie ward, informed Strathbogie Shire Council CEO Julie Salomon of his resignation on June 12, which took effect immediately.

He revealed his decision to the community through his regular column in Nagambie’s Community Voice newspaper, where he wrote he was having surgery that would see him out of action for six to eight months.

But when asked by The Euroa Gazette whether there were any further reasons for his resignation, he said he had been unhappy with the culture of council.

“I feel it’s very difficult to get any progress on basic community issues – I guess that’s a frustration of anyone in office,” he said.

“I feel there are still some activists within the council group who have their own agendas, but of course, that’s only my feeling – so, it’s very frustrating.”

“You mention your roads, rates, rubbish, drainage and bridges, and people’s eyes glaze over – it’s not groovy or woke enough, I don’t know what it is.

“I’m not saying the current council is like that, I’m just saying people’s eyes glaze over – it’s boring stuff.”

Asked if he could comment on any specific situations he was unhappy with at council, Mr Andrews hesitated before responding tersely.

“The council is meant to work with, but be independent of the council executive officers and that wasn’t always the case, I feel,” he said.

The council’s previous municipal monitor Janet Dore addressed the relationship between councillors and council officers in her report to the minister for local government delivered in September 2022.

“There was… a continuing tendency for councillors to delve into operational business within the CEO accountabilities,” Ms Dore wrote.

In a letter addressed to Mayor Laura Binks last month, minister for local government Melissa Horne outlined the reasons for the appointment of a second municipal monitor to Strathbogie Shire Council.

Ms Horne wrote that in addition to concerns raised with her by Cr Binks, “serious concerns about governance and conduct have been raised with me by councillors, council staff and members of the Council’s Audit and Risk Committee”.

A Strathbogie Shire Council spokesperson said the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) will conduct a countback of votes from the November 2020 election to determine who will fill the extraordinary vacancy that now exists in the Lake Nagambie Ward.

Off-Grid Festival moves but stays in NE THE North East’s popular Off-Grid Living Festival is set to remain local going forward, shifting from its traditional home at Eldorado’s Centennial Park to new grounds at Chiltern Equine Park from next year.

Having regularly attracted thousands of guests from across the state and further afield, organisers Kate and Ralph Nottingham sought proposals earlier this year in order to expand the annual festival,

HERE TO STAY: Eldorado’s Off-Grid Living Festival will move to larger facilities at Chiltern Equine Park from next year, following a major local effort to keep the event in the North East.

PHOTO: Paul Smith which they said had outgrown its Eldorado facilities.

Despite fielding suggestions for locations in Gippsland, Seymour and Bendigo, a collective voice from within the North East sought to keep the event local, with Chiltern’s old racecourse ultimately settled upon.

Ms Nottingham said the festival hoped to revitalise a venue which has not hosted a horse race in more than 40 years.

Chiltern Equine Park committee of management president Neil Ward said the park’s proximity to the Hume Freeway would ensure easy access to the festival, and said he hoped the move would see the facilities at the park improved over time through collaboration with Indigo Shire and event organisers.

Indigo Shire Council Mayor Sophie Price said the shire was “thrilled” to host the event, and noted it closely aligned with council’s climate focus.

Ms Nottingham said organisers had been delighted with the Chiltern community’s involvement throughout the

festival’s search for a new home, having previously enjoyed widespread support within the Eldorado township.

Stolen tractor crashes into Puckapunyal military base TWO Western Australians alleged to have stolen a tractor from an Arcadia South property before leading police on a chase through the Seymour CBD and repeatedly ramming a security fence at Puckapunyal military base have had their applications for bail denied.

Facing Benalla Magistrates Court from custody last Tuesday, the 36-year-old man and his 38-year-old female partner, both from the rural town of Narrogin, attempted to secure bail following an alleged pursuit along the Goulburn Valley Highway and into Seymour on Saturday morning.

told Wangaratta Magistrates Court the pair was alleged to have trespassed at a Mckendrys Road property around 8am, before entering a shed and driving a $150,000 tractor from the premises.

Said to have taken a “cocktail of drugs”, the accused were alleged to have narrowly avoided a collision with a small bus on the highway, and drove over a central wire barrier.

According to DSC Arrowsmith, the tractor had continued into Seymour, pursued by highway patrol and uniform police vehicles as it travelled at 40kph and almost rolled as it allegedly attempted to navigate a roundabout with its front bucket raised.

Military police were subsequently contacted, as the tractor continued towards the Puckapunyal military base, and police officers attempted to block the main access gate.

The court heard the tractor had pulled to the nature strip and then rammed a 12-foot security fence at least twice, causing an estimated $50,000 in damage to the Commonwealth facility.

The pair were arrested, and a small Ziploc bag of a white crystal substance, believed to be methylamphetamine, was allegedly located in the accused woman’s bag.

Both were subsequently charged with trespassing on Commonwealth land, as well as theft of motor vehicle, reckless conduct endangering serious injury, fail to stop on police request and dangerous driving whilst pursued by police, among other charges.

DSC Arrowsmith said the pair had been travelling through North East Victoria and towards the New South Wales town of Nimbin, before they were expected to return to Western Australia.

Both were remanded in custody to face Seymour Magistrates Court later this year.

Regen farm day at Bonnie Doon offers alternative

By LYNN ELDER AFTER four disruptive years of on–again, off–again field days, workshops, demonstrations and courses, the Upper Goulburn Landcare Network (UGLN) ran the last of its “Growing Regenerative Farming Systems” field days in Bonnie Doon on June 5.

The final session hosted

by Erik and Carolyn Suggate at their property, “Eat Local Eat Wild”, was an opportunity to learn more about regenerative agriculture, which comprises farming principles that focus on the entire ecosystem of the farm, which ‘regenerate‘ resources rather than deplete them.

“It was fantastic to host this farm day – so many great people, connections and knowledge sharing,” said Carolyn.

More than 25 participants attended the day, some locals and others from further afield.

According to Carolyn, a cross–section of attendees were interested in organic farming and regenerative practices, including larger landholders such as “Murrindindi Station” to those on smaller acreages and nearby neighbours who wanted to understand what it was all about.

Dan Kelton from Alexandra‘s “Holistic Pastoral” shared about his pastured chickens and his regenerative mobile farming operation.

Dan expanded on co–

MOBILE FARMING: Dan Kelton from Holistic Pastoral with his chickens at the Bonnie Doon regenerative farming field day.

BEEFED UP: The benefits of rotational grazing was discussed at the Suggates‘ Bonnie Doon property during the regenerative farming field day. PHOTOS: Supplied farming or “shared farming systems”, and Carolyn explained how their property provided space for his chickens as part of a “circular relationship exchange”.

Dan‘s story is an interesting concept where the land his family farms is “borrowed, traded or leased” to benefit landowners with revitalised pastures and paddocks.

Carolyn said co–farming also leads the conversation

around addressing housing shortages in rural areas.

Participants also learned some practical skills, such as soil testing, that they could replicate on their land to monitor soil quality.

A walk among the cows and recently weaned calves was the perfect opportunity to share the Suggates‘ regenerative beef journey, including their rotational beef system and soft weaning program.

A Sheep Show worth celebrating THE 2023 Australian Sheep and Wool Show promises to be much more than an agricultural event – it will be a huge celebration two years back after Covid delays.

Thousands of farmers, traders and members of the public will converge on the Prince of Wales Showgrounds in Bendigo from July 14 to 16 to celebrate the best quality sheep genetics, discover the latest innovations and showcase the industry’s important and diverse contribution to everyday life.

Australian Sheep Breeders Association chief executive officer Margot Falconer said the Show had attracted strong interest from exhibitors across the nation, as sheep breeders and the public yearn to return to an event they love so very much.

“This year, we have a sellout in trade sites, we are full – there is virtually no space left anywhere,” she said.

The feature breed is the Poll Dorset – the most popular of the meat breeds in Australia having demonstrated

IT’S BAAAAAACK: the Australian Wool and Sheep Show takes over Bendigo’s Prince of Wales Showgrounds from July 14 to 16. its capabilities under a wide range of environmental conditions.

It is the 23rd year the show has been in Bendigo.

Ms Falconer said it had evolved into an event not just showcasing the nations top sheep breeds but offering a colourful carnival atmosphere.

The Australian Fleece Competition and judging to determine champions including the Supreme Prime Lamb, Supreme Long Wool, Merino National Pairs headline the showring schedule.

Other highlights including Woolcraft, shearing and wool handling competitions, twice-daily fashion parades, Women of Wool lunch with guest speaker Jane Bunn and

more to be announced.

The main arena will again feature the most activity featuring yard dog trials, an animal nursery, the Careers and Technology centre and various stallholders in the Country Living and Lifestyle/Festival of Lamb and The Oval shopping pavilions.

Together with more vendors in the Osborne and Noble pavilions and boutique stalls in the Woolcraft sheds, they form Australia’s largest fibre market.

Visitors to the Show can plan their itinerary with the help of the Sheep and Wool Show app, while those unable to make it in person can watch the ram sale and some sheep judging via live streaming.

“...plus, also our pasture regeneration program – that is in progress as we speak,” Carolyn said.

During lunch, there was a discussion about growing hops versus brewing, and Carolyn is proud to be growing the hops organically.

Lunch was followed by a walk to the opposite end of the 100–acre farm to discuss biodiversity and their planting program.

This part of the property

is ungrazed with deep “litter” and home to 1300 trees of 37 different species.

The knowledge of Tolmie nurseryman Andrew Story and his partner Ali was instrumental in planning the appropriate trees for that space, said Carolyn.

Small, medium and large trees were planted to help create ecosystems.

One concerning topic discussed was the emerging problem of feral pigs

and deer in the area, which Carolyn described as “highly destructive”.

She believed field days such as this one provided a chance for local landholders to come together to create a “coordinated approach” to the problem as her community has done.

There was also plenty of interest in on–site processing, as provided by Ryan Cowley, who operates Ryan‘s Mobile Meat Processing.

He spoke about his ethical on–farm animal processing business, which services Bonnie Doon and surrounding areas.

The field days‘ project was developed by UGLN and Goulburn Murray Landcare Network following expressions of interest by many farmers and land managers in both areas to learn more about and potentially adopt more regenerative farming practices, with events held around Alexandra, Buxton and Bonnie Doon.

UGLN facilitator Cat Thomas is keen to build on the project‘s success and said, “We hope to secure more funding to keep the momentum and interest going.”

“Quite a few of the farmers have organised their own peer support groups and feel more motivated and inspired after touching base with each other; it can be a lonely journey when you are doing something very differently to how your neighbours are doing it,” she said.

The area will now hold and display the historical ‘Jamieson On Parade’ memorabilia.

Many of the costumes, props, scripts plus videos of the concerts will be catalogued and displayed in this new venue.

Many local and visiting thespians remember the hilarious Shows at the Lakeside Hotel during the 1980s and 90s, created and produced by the Late Trevor Jones.

The concerts were great

LAST Saturday evening the Jamieson Café proprietor Kate Berg entertained a group of local and visiting guests to a Soiree at the Café.

Kate invited an old family friend of the family Natasha Fraker to come to Jamieson and entertain the clientele.

Natasha has been a friend of the Berg family from when the Bergs were residing in Mornington prior to their move to Jamieson, so it was a great time to catch up.

Natasha writes her own music and performs playing guitar and singing.

It was a well-attended and delightful event.

Congratulations.

Buller sports ready to hit the slopes

Snowboarders of CATTLEMANS CUP: are encouraged to ies ilit ab d s on all ages an the many cash prize compete for one of offer.

SNOWRACER SERIES: Skiiers and snowboarders have two weekends to compete against others in giant slalom races in preparation for the Victorian Interschool Snowsports Championships.

TEAM STEINER: Alex Manning, Oliver Clarke, Ben Ross, Christian Athanasi, Tommy Hood, Evie Bolden, Louie Bolden and Hugo Hall headed to Dromana early on June 16 to compete at the 2023 AusCycling Alpinestars Schools MTB Series.

WITH plenty of snow up on the mountain, Mt Buller is preparing for a bumper season of competitions and events for skiiers and snowboarders of all abilities, ages and interests.

It all kicks off with the Snowracer Series, an important lead-up to the Victorian Interschool Snowsports Championships later in the season.

This competition – involving two giant slalom races on July 2 and 9 – will give racers the opportunity to develop an edge as well as additional race experience on course around the mountain.

July 8 will host the annual Shred for Chumpy event, celebrating Alex Chumpy’s life in the way his friends believed he would love the most – riding and surfing.

Alex ‘Chumpy’ Pullin represented Australia in 2010, 2014, and 2018 Winter Olympics in snowboard cross, becoming a two–time world champion.

He also competed in the Winter X Games, the FIS Snowboarding World Championships for many years, and the New Zealand Winter Games.

Aside from snowboarding, Chumpy was remembered by friends as a great musician, ocean lover, and all–around generous human.

His life inspired many to live out their dream of snowboarding, and his passion for encouraging the younger generation was unrivalled.

The annual Adams Ski & Golf Day is held in early July at Mt Buller and the Mansfield

Golf Course on July 13 and 14, combining two very popular sports in the region.

This long–standing local event attracts a loyal following of local skiers and businesses keen to support the local schools snowsports program.

Last year, $32,500 was raised, an incredible effort following two very challenging COVID years for local businesses.

The line–up included local business people, Olympians, resort staff and the focus was firmly on who could have the most fun on the ski race course and the golf course.

Avid snowboarders are also welcome to sign up for the 2023 Cattleman’s Cup on July 19 to July 20.

The Cattleman’s Cup is a two–day celebration of snowboarding, open to riders of all ages and abilities.

The event includes a Cattleman’s inspired Rail Plaza Jam, Hip Contest and Race– Your–Mate Slalom Course, with many cash and prizes on offer.

To round off July, the Victorian University Championships will be held on the weekend of July 27 and 28.

The Championships race events include Giant Slalom, Super G, Skiercross and Boardercross with more details to be confirmed in coming weeks.

The avid skier and snowboarder is not to miss out on these events, taking advantage of generous snowfall and ideal terrain the Mt Buller offers for a variety of abilities and age groups.

READY TO RIDE: Tommy Hood, Evie Bolden and Louie Bolden put on their game faces.

Steiner Students shine at Mountain Bike Interschools MOUNTAIN BIKE RACING

By ARIEL STAVA, Mansfield Steiner School SUNDAY, June 18 saw 16 students from Mansfield Steiner School travel to Dromana Secondary College for the first round of the 2023 AusCycling Alpinestars Schools MTB Series.

The students were met

with cold and muddy conditions and a very early start to compete.

The boys and girls were from years two to nine and for many this was their first time competing at an interschool sport.

Over 240 riders from across Victoria were at the event.

The track incorporated some exciting features that

included riding through the high school building corridors, around their pump track and lots of peddling around the muddy boundaries of the school.

A highlight for the day was riding on the Jig Saw jumps that were set up on display.

Congratulations to all riders. Christian Athanasi, Marley Kelton, Alex Manning,

Oliver Clark and Evie Bolden from year two, Huon Johston, Thomas Hood, Levi Seaton, Hugo Hall and Louie Bolden from year three, Alastair Ross from year four, Keeva Morris-Webb from year five, Ben Ross from year six, Josh Withers from year seven and Rylan Fox and Fergus Morrison from year nine.

Special mention must go

to Keeva Morris-Web who used her previous success at Falls Creek Interschools to win the Under 13 Girls Novice Class, Ben Ross who placed fourth in the U11Boys Racing Class and Oliver Clark and Alex Manning who in their first ever interschool race place second and third respectively in the U9 Boys Novice Class.

There were smiles all round from the team and a great supportive attitude from all competitors and their families.

Many are looking forward to the next round of competition at Lysterfield on July 23 with the team of riders expected to grow as they take on sections of the Commonwealth Games trail.

Ain’t no mountain high enough and had never even Why M Mansfi field’s ld’ Ch Cherie i W Worthington thi gt can ttackle kl anyy obstacle b t l were seen a reformer,” she said.

By HANNAH KENNELLY FOR many people, a relaxing holiday conjures images of leisurely beach strolls or catching up on a stack of books.

That’s not the case for Cherie Worthington.

“It might sound a little crazy, but any trips to the bush help me immediately switch off and relax,” she said.

“The only way I can relax is to go on multiday trips and be really absorbed in the outdoors.

“I think I’m always on the hunt for new climbing trips and hiking adventures.”

The pilates instructor moved to Mansfield in 2006 from New South Wales to pursue a teaching career in outdoor education.

“I spent four years teaching kids at Timbertop and then ended up loving Mansfield so much that I took a position at the local high school,” she said.

“What drew me here originally was the job, but what has kept me here is the environment and the community.”

It’s also where Cherie met her husband John Eisner.

“It’s wonderful because both of us are small business owners, but we share this mutual passion for adventure,” she laughed.

Cherie and John have hiked all throughout the Northern Territory and have also done several crosscountry skiing trips.

Last year, the couple completed a four day hike in Tasmania, a trip Cherie describes as “very elemental”.

“The mountain was amazing, but very challenging,” she said.

“It involved a lot of pack hauling and exposure because it was very wet.

“Probably not what many

NORTH East Bushrangers Basketball (NEBB) is a collaboration between local North East basketball associations with the commitment of “Creating Realistic Pathways for all North East Athletes” Eleven NEBB junior teams compete in the Victorian Junior Basketball League (VJBL) - the highest level junior competition in Victoria.

One NEBB Youth League Men’s (YLM) team competes in the semi-professional Big V competition.

Big V & VJBL consist of teams from both metropolitan and regional Victoria.

ADVENTURE TIME: Cherie Worthington enjoys new challenges. people would like as a holiday, but we love it.”

Cherie has a particular love for the Northern Territory, especially the local communities.

“Exploring and learning about Aboriginal rock art

and artefacts is really wonderful,” she said.

“I’m really attracted to dry desert area and really love the red earth.”

After spending over 13 years as an outdoor education teacher, Cherie

wanted a career change.

She dabbled in pilates in her youth, but decided to delve deeper into the discipline following an injury.

“Pilates are a really accessible way to move, and I think a lot of people are at-

tracted to that,” she said.

Cherie opened Mansfield Barefoot Studio Pilates in 2017 to fulfill a “missing gap in the community”.

“When we originally opened, a lot of people didn’t really know what pilates

“I think most people’s perception of pilates were from eighties music videos.”

Business boomed over the years and Cherie was able to recruit more instructors.

Cherie said many of her outdoor education skills were transferable to pilates.

“A lot of people ask me if I miss school teaching, but there are so many similarities with pilates,” she said.

“You are still trying to have a relationship with people, develop rapport, and share your skills “There are also so many different age groups who come to pilates who all have different needs.

“Trying to help an eight or 80-year old achieve a goal involves the same skillset.

“So I think the teaching background has set me up really well.”

Cherie said witnessing a client’s confidence improve was incredibly rewarding.

“We have so many clients who have reservations or come into the studio with injuries or pain.

“It’s wonderful to see them surprise themselves and steadily improve.”

Cherie and John still try and regularly hike whenever they have a spare moment.

The couples is scheduled to fly to Europe later this year to tackle the Swiss Alps.

“This has been on the bucket list for so many years, so we are feeling really excited.”

While eager for her overseas adventure, Cherie said she still felt most at home in Mansfield.

“It’s just as satisfying to go hiking in the High Country,” she said.

“We live in a really beautiful place.”

The hike to the top HIKING

By RUBY RADEMAKER, ZALI HOPKINS and AMY CAMINOS, year six Mansfield Primary School STEPPING off the bus a cold thick breeze blew past, making 80 grade sixes shiver.

Most believed no rain would fall until later in the day but as we were grouping up, we were deceived, and it began to trickle.

People hurried for their rain jackets as the trickle became a downpour.

Then we began to climb up the rocky wet pathway until we were coated in mist.

People yanked beanies and gloves as the chill

rushed through into their bodies.

We had just passed stump four out of five.

We began to emerge from the trees and could see the top beginning to form.

As we started to reach the open muddy land several people struggled to stay upright as they slipped and received a humorous laugh.

We struggled but didn’t realize how much more difficult it was as we reached the steep slates of rock.

After trudging through the mud and rocks we finally reached the tippy top of Mt Timbertop.

After a proud chat with our friends about our accomplishment, we climbed back down with a smile.

PREPARED: Isaac Holland and Molly Jacob in their wet weather gear for the school hike up Mt Timbertop.

WINTER WEATHER: Grade six students from Mansfield Primary School battled the elements as they climbed Mt Timbertop.

BE PREPARED: Before you head off on a hike in the High Country take a moment to plan ahead.

Plan ahead when hiking this winter HIKING VICTORIA State Emergency Service (VICSES) and Parks Victoria are urging visitors to state parks this winter to plan in advance for adverse conditions, and to remain vigilant when bushwalking or hiking.

Hikers can be caught out by early nightfall, with daylight hours cut even shorter by the high ridges at many locations, which increases the risk of serious injury from slips and falls.

Wet conditions and early dusk increase the risk of serious injury from slips, falls, and hypothermia.

Our alpine region is well known to local VICSES and Parks Victoria crews as the setting for labour–intensive, time–consuming rescues, their natural beauty and driving distance from Melbourne have made them hotspots.

Search and rescue operations require, on average, eight VICSES volunteers in three vehicles, working for around four hours, amounting to 32 hours of volunteer time for each rescue.

This does not include the work undertaken by Parks Victoria, Ambulance Victoria, and Victoria Police Search and Rescue personnel.

VICSES Hume region duty

officer, Troy Milner, said over officer, the last year, VICSES volunteers have responded to over 100 Requests For Assistance (RFAs) from Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria.

“This figure includes RFAs relating to relatively simple tasks like lifting a patient on to a mule, to large, multi– day, complex technical rescues,” Mr Milner said.

“Our volunteers have deployed from Mansfield, Beechworth, Bright, Falls Creek, Myrtleford, and Yackandandah units.”

If you were out hiking, camping or bike–riding and you had to call triple zero in an emergency, would you

know how to tell the operaope erara ator exactly where you are?

Before you head off on a hike, take a moment to plan ahead:  Know your limitations – consider the degree of difficulty of any walks or hikes you are taking and ensure you don‘t overdo it.  Pack a map and a compass, or know your route via GPS, and know any common location names.  Become familiar with emergency markers located along bushwalking tracks.

They are designed to pinpoint your exact location during an emergency in public open spaces or a hard

to define places. They disto define play three letters and three numbers which gives an exact location of where the markers are.  Ensure you keep away from hazardous trees in the wind.  Take plenty of water and some food.  Wear appropriate footwear and clothes for the conditions.  Have communications equipment that will work where you are going – like a satellite phone if you‘re going for extended periods across low coverage areas. Consider if you‘ll need radio backup, a Personal Locator Beacon, a

copy of any important phone numbers, a phone charger, battery pack or other communications supplies.  If visiting national parks or walking tracks, check with Parks Victoria via parkweb. vic.gov.au ahead of time for closures.  When planning your walk, use trusted sources of information like the Parks Victoria website. Visitor Guides on park specific pages have maps and information about walking difficulty and estimated duration, based on the Australian Walking Track Grading System. There are also important and timely updates on park or track closures.

Eagles Yellow shows strong against Blue counterparts

W&DJFL

By NICK DUNN ON Sunday the Yellow mob ran out in the first of our local derbies against our mates from Eagles Blue team.

In a much-anticipated contest, our mindset going into the game was to play the high pressure and intensity game that we’ve been working on all year and are really ramping up now in our bid to make finals.

That style of footy was on show from the first bounce,

ROUND

12

run out again with the same pressure on the contest, and the boys got a bit more reward for effort as they struck through with another couple of goals, however inaccuracy in front of goal meant the game was still in the balance at half time.

A few positional tweaks and a focus on opening up the forward line was the message at half time, to complement the otherwise brilliant game the guys were playing.

The Blue team came out hot, kicking the first one ear-

with our boys holding the ascendancy out of the middle, and managing to play the game predominately in our forward half.

We weren’t able to capitalise on that dominance on the scoreboard, with Archie Dunn slotting a ripper for us in our only major for the term, as our forward line was getting choked up and our entries into the 50 getting intercepted consistently by Cruz Purday who was playing an outstanding game in defence.

The second quarter saw us

ly to bring it back to within a kick, but from then it clicked for our guys and the pressure on the ball carrier and the swift handball and running game translated on the scoreboard, with our guys piling in the next six unanswered goals for the term.

At three quarter time, we made the focus about making sure we didn’t take the foot off the gas and continued playing the game the way we want to be known for playing, and it shone through in another unan-

swered six goal quarter.

Mansfield Eagles Yellow 15.10 (100) defeated Mansfield Eagles Blue 2.6 (18).

The entire team was spectacular all day and most importantly our team play and ability to bring our teammates into the game was brilliant.

But most pleasing from a coaching point of view was to witness the hard work really paying off in their desire to win the contested ball with multiple efforts, and their work rate to pressure the ball

carrier, winning back the ball for our team and providing the opportunity to showcase their slick handball and run and carry game.

The amazing performances where spread down the court with Bella and Gemma who dominated in the opposing goal ring, with intercepts and tips that continued throughout the game.

The goalers Keira, Tilly and Charlie ruled that ring with many goals and not many misses.

Our mid courters Maya, Sadie, Amy and Tayla worked hard to bring the ball down the court.

Although we weren’t our strongest, after the two byes in a row and the courts were wet and slippery we still managed to win 22-25.

Bonnie Doon 32 def by Bright 40 Best on court and Coaches Award - sponsored by Bowser Bean and David Walsh Gas: Grace Timmers IT was a cold and wet start to the under 17s game against Bright who started strong, winning the first quarter by one point.

With the defenders, Charlotte Atherton in GK, Emmeline Evans in GD and Grace Timmers in WD were working hard to make a turnover the scores were brought to a tie by the second quarter.

Casey Hearmon in C for the first half of the game and Chloe Cash in WA fought hard to get the ball down to Stella Brakels in GA and Cobie McCormack in GS who scored the goals to bring it to a tie at the end of the second quarter.

In the third quarter some changes were made and Emmeline was put into C and Maddie Maher in GD. Everyone fought hard but unfortunately by the end of the third quarter Bright was up by nine goals.

In the last quarter of the game Amy Cash from Bonnie Doons U15s team went for a run in C and smashed it.

Unfortunately by the end of the game Bright had beaten us by eight goals with a score of 40-32.

DEFENCE: Mia Tanner (pictured) makes sure her Bright opponent doesn’t get a clear opportunity to pass.

It was a tough game but hopefully the Bombers will face Bright again in finals and show them what Bonnie Doon is really made of.

by Alpine Home: Meagan Doeven AFTER two weeks off the girls were ready to add

another win to the board.

From the first centre pass the girls dominated all areas of the court.

The attack end looked poised and in control all game with explosiveness off the line, driving onto the goal ring and accurate passes into the goalers.

The Bombers lead at half time 35-13 and they didn’t look like they wanted to stop there.

With some positional changes at halftime the bombers didn’t drop their intensity or drive and it was also an opportunity to try some defensive plays.

The transition out of defence was also done more confidently this week and

the quick release of the ball prevented the Bright defenders to make an impact.

Many deflections, rebounds and hands over pressure gave Bonnie Doon countless opportunities to convert and they didn’t lose momentum all game with the bombers scoring their highest score in the last quarter with 21 goals.

Special mentions to Chloe Cash from U17 playing a solid half in WA; JoJo Sheridan scoring a massive 61 goals; and to our skipper Jess Harris for a solid best on court performance for her 110 per cent drives, re-leads and ‘on point’ passing.

THE Bomberettes made the long trip to face the Mountain Maidens at Pioneer Park on Saturday.

There was a bit of apprehension about the unpredictable Bright weather, but it pulled through for A Grade, sun shining drying out the court that had caused many falls in all previous games.

Jo Sheridan stepped into A Grade seamlessly, providing a tall, strong target in the ring and shot with amazing accuracy.

Steph executed her sweeps with perfection and loved her long bomb shots.

Mia started her best on performance with many centre pass receives, long drives and faultless feeds.

Shan ran the centre hard, but can always be relied on to settle the game and give the right pass.

Tahlia stuck with her fast WA, making her have to work hard to get the ball, and provided great hands over pressure.

Erin’s one on one pressure made sure there were no easy passes into the ring, and Anna had another cracking game in GK attacking the ball and coming up with numerous tips and intercepts.

A strong first quarter saw the score line 10 - 20.

A switch between Tahlia and Shannon was the only change in the second quarter.

This quarter saw errors creeping into the game, but Doon maintained a 10 goal lead at half time.

In the third quarter Mia moved to GA, Stoof into GS, Jess Harris into WA, Shan back into C, Ez into WD and Casey made her A Grade return in GD. The girls clicked quickly despite the different set up.

Mia and Steph worked around each other well, Harry played with classic Harry magic, Shan kept putting in the hard yards, Erin fought for every ball, Casey picked up crucial intercepts very few would be able to get, and Anna continued to cause havoc through the Bright attack end.

The last quarter saw Tahlia return to the court in WA. It also saw the Bomberettes find another gear and push to the final siren.

Final scores were Bright 35 to Bonnie Doon 64.

Great win girls.

Mansfield Junior Footy back on the big stage

By MICHAEL BRETHERTON AFTER a week at the Lords oval, Mansfield Junior Football returned to the Mansfield Rec Reserve on a fresh and damp Saturday morning.

Under 12’s hit the park first with the Blues having a day out.

The team was asked to play to the conditions on the weekend and they listened perfectly for four quarters, playing an outstanding game of wet weather football.

All players had their moments including Archie’s great mark in front of oncoming traffic, Sweeney’s tackle of the year nomination to stop a certain goal

and Digby racking up the possessions.

It was great to see.

Billy Turner lit it up in front of goal snagging three majors, with Hudson George and Tom Dowell causing havoc for the opposition with their speed and carry which opened up the game for Oscar Pigdon and Mac Watson to gather plenty of the ball to drive it deep into the forwards for plenty of scoring opportunities.

Special mention to senior player Cody George for giving up his time and helping out as one of the coaches for the day, the juniors got plenty out of having him there.

The Bombers and the Eagles tried valiantly all morn-

ing but couldn’t go with the Blues.

While having plenty of scoring shots the Bombers just couldn’t convert in front of goal.

Lachlan Roberts ran hard all day and was joined by Riley Sutherland in their best games for the club.

For the Eagles, Miller McCrmack was super, as was Sophie Snell, Reeve Purday and Edi Gardner.

With low numbers again the under 10’s were limited to two sides, with the kids to be commended in the way they accept having to change or combine sides to make things work.

The Eagles got off to a flyer piling on the goals early until

the Hawks kicked into gear and kicked plenty of their own and only a point separating the two sides at the final siren.

Best players in the Under 10’s were Jack Jacob who pulled down some big marks and converted in front of goal, Noah Heasyman who ran his heart out and usual contribitors Roy Mercieca and Charlie Howie.

The Mansfield juniors now get a well earned rest with two weeks off training and games with both returning when school returns the week of 10 July.

Thanks again to all the supporters and volunteers to make the season a success so far.

Dreary weather won’t dampen bowls club’s spirits

improvement in scores.

Marg Knapp did well to win with 30 on a countback to Sheryl Sargent who came second and Linda Brook who finished third (our captain and vice-captain seem to have a handle on the conditions).

Nearest the pins went to Gayle Wells (3rd), Sheryl Sargent (7th) and Sam Bailey (16th).

Away from home, we have had teams representing Mansfield at a number of bowls.

The latest at Avenel, saw our team of Millie Cumming, Sam Bailley and Lyn Poulson narrowly miss the bowl by one point, but we were delighted to hear that Millie Cumming, in typical great form on Sandscrapes, won the B grade competition and the Vets.

Well done, Millie.

Our course is holding up despite the rain, but it needs everyone’s help to keep it that way, by watching where you go with carts and dodging all the really wet spots as much as possible.

UNSURPRISINGLY, numbers have been down due to those who head north to winter, but there is still enough playing for our lunchtime gathering on Wednesday to be a busy affair.

Last week, 15 players took on the stroke round which was a qualifier for the Silver Spoon GA event.

The winner was Sheryl Sargent, with a very commendable nett 74 given the conditions.

Runner- up was Linda Brook with 78 and Margie Franke-Williams finished third with 81.

Sheryl and Kylie Egan took out the nearest the pins and Millie Cumming had her putter working to take the prize.

That Saturday, a small field of eight braved it, and Linda Brook was the best of some very low scores, to win with 27 points.

Sheryl Sargent 26, and Linda Terry, 25 took the minor placings.

Wednesday had a field of 17 playing stableford again, with some

FINE FORM: Millie Cumming takes the lead.

Mansfield golfers vie for this year’s June medal

MEN’S GOLF

By TOM SWAN

WINTER has well and truly arrived with a number of members having headed north to warmer climes.

On Tuesday, brave souls ventured out to play in a stroke competition with Geoff Brown winning with a net score of 73 and Taki Murakami

finishing second with 75.

Don Clutterbuck finished third with a score of 79.

Thursday’s stableford competition saw a good field of 39 play in pretty decent conditions for this time of year.

Brendan Egan had a great round and won the competition with a score of 38 points, Phil Conway was second on 37 points and Chris Kerr finished in third place with 35 points.

Well done to both Brendan and Phil who were the only players to beat their handicaps.

On Saturday, the June monthly medal was played.

Twenty-eight members fronted the starters gun under threatening skies, luckily the weather held off until the event finished.

Phil Conway continued his current good form, winning the event

with a net score of 69 (h/c 11), club champion Kyle Bridgeman was second with a score of 70 (h/c 0) and Ben Millott was third on 71 (h/c 2) on a countback from Chris Kerr also on 71 (h/c16).

Well done to these four who all played or bettered their handicaps and also congratulations to Shaun Wade who eagled the par 5 13th hole.

LAST Tuesday saw 16 players have a game of social bowls in the freezing cold, with the winners on the day being Dom Diaz, Ian Morley, Mick Hoban and John Lobbe with two wins 30pts from Mark Bettany, Elaine Peterson, George Peterson and Steve Wilson 1 win and a draw 24 pts.

Unfortunately, rain was the only winner during Friday’s social bowls.

So, we look forward to this week’s social on both Tuesday and Friday.

Sunday was our fabulous indoor bowling program with a great field of 13 players with our life member Margaret Adcock participating for the first time this year.

She has not lost her touch.

The winners on the day were Lyn Foots, Howard James, Elva Healy and Graham Wharton with three wins 46 pts from Rick Nichols, Keith Millott and Anne Wileman on two wins 30pts.

A special mention goes to Rick’s team with having a “howler” in the last game losing 19 zip.

Luckily there is no flagpole for indoor bowls, so Rick had nothing to hang his knickers on.

It was so much fun with all our usual players attending and we encourage anyone wishing to come along and enjoy the warmth of our clubrooms and our friendship.

Everyone is so very welcome.

Henry The Third

Bombers move to second after Bright clash BONNIE Doon has moved up the ladder after a win against Bright this weekend, knocking their rivals from second in an exciting clash away.

In wet conditions, the Bombers started strong, putting six goals away in the first quarter and taking an early lead Bright did not recover from.

Coach Ken Murray said the first quarter lead was crucial to the weekend’s win as the soft field deteriorated through play.

“It was pretty sloppy conditions and to score well in that first quarter made it harder for Bright to chase us down,” he said.

“The longer the game went on, the more the game became a slog.”

While Bright pulled themselves together and attempted to make a comeback, the Doon players’ training kicked into gear.

“We had a huge focus last week on relentless pressure in our forward half and midfield area to set a tone for the game and start well,” Ken said.

“The boys executed that really well this week.”

Throughout the rest of the game, Bright tried to fight back, making the game contested through to the end.

However, the Bombers kept

their composure with the ball, making strategic decisions to keep control of the score.

“We made a lot of our opportunities count,” Ken said.

“The pressure all over the ground was terrific.

“While the score narrowed towards the end we were still able to have a two-goal win which, in heavy conditions, we will take any day of the week.”

In the end Bonnie Doon 9.4 (58) defeated Bright 6.10 (46).

The win puts the Bonnie Doon side with a key advantage going into the second half of the season, with finals now firmly set in their sights. “[This week’s win] will go a long way to shaping the pointy end of the year and where we finish,” Ken said.

“Bright are always a very hard team to beat at home so we were very happy to get away with four points.”

Best: Matthew Hedin, Campbell Smedley, Morgan Evans, Luke Murray, Zac Tanner, Guy Murray Goals: Al Bennett 4, Matthew Hedin 3, Luke Murray, Joel Sanford
