to older community members up to their 70s joined in the Indigenous Outreach Project (IOP) - a culturally diverse national collective sharing a passion to connect with community, especially youth through music and dance that has run for more than two decades.

With the local event organised by Indigo Shire Council with IOP, among performances had been dance, an acknowledgement of country, sounds of the didgeridoo and a workshop to get all spectators up and dancing Indigo Shire community development coordinator Carlene Lamanna said.

“Participants felt that it was meaningful for council to celebrate and acknowledge First Nations culture in

the shire,” she said.

“It was a celebration of Indigenous culture, inclusive, fun and a great learning experience.”

Informative talks by Burke Museum and Cultural Heritage manager Cameron Auty and collections officer Ashleigh Giffney followed at the museum.

Mr Auty explored the long history of looting and removal of cultural material going back to ancient Greece

and Rome, the history of repatriation of objects and the removal of First Nations’ material by colonial powers.

Legalities around the return of ancestors’ secretsacred objects and everyday objects as well as international law and the role of UNESCO, international treaties and the Blue Shield in preventing modern-day removal of cultural materials has been included too.

Premier extends pandemic declaration PREMIER Daniel Andrews extended the pandemic declaration across the state from 11.59 Tuesday night for three months until 11.59pm on October 12.

The pandemic declaration gives the Minister for Health the authority to make pandemic orders she considers reasonably necessary to protect public health after considering the chief health officer’s advice and other relevant factors, including social and economic factors.

There are 94.6 per cent of Victorians over 12 years who have received two vaccine doses against coronavirus and over 68.4 per cent of Victorians over 16 years who w have received a third dose.

Changes made under the Occupational Health and Safety Amendment (COVID-19 Vaccination Information) Regulations 2022 to come into place from July 12 will allow employers to collect the vaccination information of workers if they choose to have vaccination requirements to keep v their workplaces COVIDSafe.

These updated regulations aim to help employers decide on what measures are most appropriate to keep their workplaces and workforce as safe as possible from COVID-19.

They follow advice from the Chief Health Officer that following the removal of some vaccination requirements under Pandemic Orders, businesses and employers should consider their own policies based on their own assessment of risk.

These regulations do not require workers to be vaccinated, but ensure employers have the information they need to make decisions on necessary control measures at their workplace, which may include vaccination. w In line with other jurisdictions around Australia, COVID-19 vaccination policies will be the responsibility of individual workplaces to consider as part of their

Workers who work in high risk settings are still required to be vaccinated.

Vaccination of workers remains strongly recommended, and employers are encouraged to actively promote and encourage staff to maintain an ‘up-to-date’ vaccination status.

Under the OHS Act employers must identify whether there is a risk to the health of their workers from exposure to COVID-19 at their workplace.

If identified, employers are required to eliminate risks as far as reasonably practicable and when elimination is not possible, employers are required to implement measures to reduce risks.

The regulations will be in place for 12 months from July 12.

Fungi expert delivers informative talk

By CORAL COOKSLEY AN EXPERT on fungi knowledge delivered an informative talk to local Landcare members and friends at the Stanley Recreation Reserve hall on Sunday.

Ecologist and environmental photographer Alison Pouliot’s talk had been matched with an extraordinary showcase of around 50 fungi species and habitat types gathered from 12 forests within the region and around the state.

Organised by Stanley Landcare, secretary Tony McDonald said an understanding of fungi importance in forests and forest ecosystems has been a rapidly growing interest by people around the country.

“Alison is one of the nation’s - if not global - experts in fungi knowledge,” he said.

In giving countless workshops around Australia, Mr McDonald said Ms Pouliot has also worked

in overseas countries among them Switzerland and France.

Mount Franklin-based Ms Pouliot has run about 60 workshops throughout Victoria, New South Wales, as well as other states.

Among groups she helps are Landcare, universities, conservationists as well as rangers from shire councils.

“The workshops help people understand the ecology of fungi and why they matter in ecosystems,” she said.

“We also cover how they improve the quality of our soils, help our plants, gardens and crops as well.”

“I’ve seen a real exponential increase in interest over the years from running workshops and people also want to learn about edible fungi and to know the difference between the edible and toxic ones.”

“People are also doing more interesting things with fungi as well such as making clothing and

building materials, and exploring them as alternative medicines.”

After the morning talk where specimens had been discussed and handled, a field trip gave people the chance to find and identify local fungi.

Deakin University student Sequoia Lewien studying environmental science attended the workshop too.

Ms Lewien’s research interest aim is to help conserve Australian fungi and their habitats as well as promoting knowledge of native species to communities on how fungi interacts within local ecosystems.

“Sequoia was brilliant in passing on her knowledge too,” Mr McDonald said.

Working as a professional photographer for last 30 years, Ms Pouliot has written a number of books with incredible images among them ‘The Allure of Fungi’ and ‘Wild Mushrooming - a Guide for Foragers.’

NAIDOC Week celebrated ■

From page 1 Ms Giffney delivered an insight into the First Nations’ objects held at the Burke Museum, their collection by RE JJohns and their history at the museum as well as the 1878 Paris Exhibition the journey of the objects to and from Europe.

“Ashleigh introduced South Australia’s Kaurna people and the importance of the Kaurna objects where our aim is to return them,” Mr Auty said.

Mr Auty said the Burke Museum had held and benefited from these objects for over 150 years.

“It’s highly important to realise that the way these objjects were collected does not meet modern ethical standards,” he said.

“There was a massive economic, police and military power imbalance between the collectors and the First Peoples.

“The objects were traded, stolen or bought from means that we continue to benefit from through an injustice.

SHARING CULTURE: The Indigenous Outreach Project team in action on Saturday in Beechworth.

PHOTO: Courtesy Indigo Shire Councill “For us, the act of returning them is a small contribution towards Reconciliation and we believe that it’s important for communities everywhere to own and control their own cultural material, just as the people of Beechworth can own their own historical objects in this museum.

“This process also helps us to build relationships and connections to Indigenous groups across Australia.”

A significant event for the Kaurna people, Mr Auty said

Kaurna elders knew that the collection of 12 objects had gone to Paris but thought they were never returned.

“They do not own any other objects from that era and Kaurna Elders have said the return is a step in a healing journey,” he said.

NAIDOC celebrations continued this week in shire libraries raising community awareness about First Nations culture showcasing indigenous collections and having colouring in competition for the kids.

Light Horse memorabilia donated to RSL

By ALISON WILLIAMS A RECENT gift of Light Horse memorabillia from the First World War to the Beechworth RSL sub ranch is now on display at the club’s premises in Ford Street.

On a recent visit to Beechworth, Alan Davidson from Western Australia donated the collection that belonged to Private William E. Johnson, Service No 2205 of the 10th Light Horse Regiment, who embarked on the HMAT Ulysses A38 on 1 April 1916 from Freemantle.

The acquisition consists of a saddle, bridle and bit and neck chain, a leather rifle bucket, 1908 pattern cavalry sword, bayonet, one legging, ammunition bandolier and the 10th Light Horse regalia in a framed picture.

Private Johnson had been a railway porter living on the Transcontinental Line at the time of enlistment at Kalgoorlie.

His mother Annie had lived at Meadow Creek, Carboor in Victoria at the time.

He served at various places in Egypt including Abbassar, Alexandria and Moascar before being discharged in September 1919.

William or Bill as he was known had a great love of horses which

posthumously in 2010, in March the same year, Bill was also posthumously recognised nationally with the “Brian Hancock” Distinguished Service Award for his outstanding contribution to the Inter Dominion in its formative years and establishing its profile in Western Australia.

Mr Davidson had served in the Western Australian 10th Light Horse Regiment where he had met Bill as the World War 1 veteran had kept up his association with the regiment after he left for ceremonial presentations and shows.

The donation followed a conversation and offer by Mr Davidson to RSL member Rudy Kraus on an earlier visit to Beechworth that the club gratefully accepted.

Mr Davidson had offered the collection to a number of RSLs in WA but they weren’t interested.

He just happened to be in Beechworth on a Thursday night when the RSL bar was open and he just dropped in.

Impressed with the RSL’s collection he offered the memorabilia now on display in the RSL’s Ford Street premises.

The RSL is honoured to have been gifted the collection and the sub branch thanked Mr Davidson for his generosity.

Risk of Lake Hume spill now at 100 per cent THE resource manager for northern Victoria announced on Friday the first 2022/23 seasonal determinations, an updated outlook for 2022/23 water availability, and an updated assessment of the risk of spill in the Murray, Goulburn and Campaspe systems.

The Murray system starts 2022/23 with a seasonal determination of 94 per cent of high-reliability water shares (HRWS).

The Goulburn and Loddon systems begin with 66 per cent HRWS. The Campaspe system starts 2022/23 with 70 per cent HRWS. The Broken system opens with 38 per cent HRWS and the Bullarook system starts with 19 per cent HRWS. Resource manager Mark Bailey

said the opening seasonal determination in Murray system was the highest since 2002/03.

“All of the northern Victorian systems have started 2022/23 with an optimistic outlook. Improvements will come with continuing rainfall and runoff into the major storages, and the latest Bureau of Meteorology forecast favours above-average rainfall to September,” he said.

“Customers should consider the rainfall forecast and the updated outlook for seasonal determinations when planning their water needs this year.”

Dr Bailey urged Murray system customers to note the effect of continued releases from Lake Hume for airspace management.

“Entitlements holders in the Mur-

ray system should note a deduction from spillable water accounts will occur in mid-August after the volumes released during July are confirmed,” he said.

“The situation at Lake Hume means the risk of spill in the Murray system is effectively 100 per cent.

“The risk of spill from Lake Eildon in the Goulburn system is about 80 per cent and the risk of spill from Lake Eppalock in the Campaspe system is about 20 per cent.”

Dr Bailey said the risk of spill assessment did not describe the chances of flooding this season.

“The risk of spill is a water accounting assessment. It does not refer to flood risks downstream of the storages.”

First Kerferd Oration question goes online

By CORAL COOKSLEY THIS year’s George Briscoe Kerferd Oration that marks its 20th anniversary is being delivered by Melbourne-based Peter Hutton - a maverick, free radical and challenger of the status quo in education.

His oration titled ‘Australian Education: How did we get here and where are we going?’ on Sunday, July 31 starts at 11am at Beechworth’s George Kerferd Hotel and via livestream.

In the lead up to his oration, the committee has invited the community to engage in an online conversation in a series of four with the first one placed on its Facebook page on Monday.

“We encourage you to share your thoughts, questions and ideas and start the discussion,” Kerferd Oration chair Jess Oldmeadow said.

“Questions of the week are drafted by the orator and give the community a small peek into the themes that will be raised in the oration, and we hope they spark interest and curiosity.”

“They are designed to prompt discussion within our community, and we hope people will raise these questions in their workplaces, over the dinner table or

Community C i y encouraged g d to engage g g with i h the h topic pi

while walking with a friend.”

Ms Oldmeadow said the aim is to have the community as a whole thinking and talking about a topic at a point in time.

“Sometimes this leads to action, but mostly it leads to a greater awareness and understanding of other viewpoints and experiences which is a fabulous thing to achieve,” she said.

The first question revolves

around the program for International Student Assessment (PISA) that reports Australia’s academic performance in reading, science and mathematics has been in continual decline for the last 20 years with the community encouraged to answer ‘why has this been happening?’

Ms Oldmeadow said people can now join in on a broader

community discussion. i di i Each week’s question will be published Mondays on Facebook and its webpage with the next question at the beginning of the week on July 11, then July 18, and 25.

For more information about the event and to register visit www.kerferdoration.org and if you would like to join the conversation in answer to the first question go to the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ kerferdoration.

The George Briscoe Kerferd Oration was first held in 2003 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the naming of Beechworth.

The Oration brings an eminent speaker to Indigo Shire to challenge thinking, foster discussion and promote active citizenship in the community.

The oration honours George Briscoe Kerferd (1831 - 1889), an energetic community leader, Premier of Victoria and a Judge of the Supreme Court of Victoria.

The free community event is sponsored by Quercus Beechworth, BankWAW, La Trobe University and Indigo Shire Council.

CFA warns of burn danger this winter VICTORIAN firefighters have called on local residents to ensure the safety of their electrical appliances, in an effort to curb carelessness which saw firefighters respond to 1500 electrical fires last calendar year.

CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan is urging people during winter to take extra precautions to assess household equipment to prevent serious burns or house fires.

“Electrical appliances including double adaptors, power boards and extension cords are a major cause of residential fires,” he said.

“Check you’re not overloading power boards - don’t leave electrical appliances like hair straighteners and laptops on soft surfaces - and never leave electrical devices like your phone charging overnight.”

“Also, ensure monitors, laptops, televisions and other equipment have good air flow around them and are not covered or in confined spaces, while outdoor electrical items like eBikes, eScooters, or hoverboards should be properly maintained.”

Burns surgeon at the Alfred hospital in Melbourne, Dane Holden, said winter regularly brought with it a spike in presentations to the hospital’s Victorian Adult Burns Service.

“Each year we see a spate of preventable burns injuries caused by faulty products, or because people let their guard down,” he said.

“Unfortunately when products such as electric heaters malfunction, it can quickly lead to a house fire and catastrophic burns injuries.

“These types of fires result in burns all over the body, which requires significant surgical intervention and long, painful rehabilitation periods.”

Well-known children’s author visits Yackandandah

By CORAL COOKSLEY ABOUT 50 including excited children and their parents turned out to meet well-known children’s author Leigh Hobbs on Monday at Yackandandah Library.

Melbourne-based Mr Hobbs, who is also an artist, gave a fun talk about his books which include muchloved characters Mr Chicken, Old Tom, Horrible Harriett, Fiona the Pig, Mr Badger and the Freaks in 4F. The former secondary school art teacher for 25 years writes and illustrates children’s books.

“I think of myself as an artist but the books have sort of taken over of my artwork,” he said.

“And what I do is create characters in my children’s books that really are character studies.

It’s been 30 years this year since Mr Hobbs had Old Tom first accepted by a publisher.

“I’ve written about 24 books since then and have just finished the artwork and the writing for the next Mr Chicken book, which is ‘Mr Chicken goes to Mars’, he said.

“The kids seem to love him.

“But I visited primary schools talking to kids and running workshops for a long time.”

Mr Hobbs said he is passionate about English history, classical music and architecture which sometimes make their way into his books such as Mr Chicken in Rome going to the Vatican and swimming in the Trevi Fountain.

“I love doing that because I’m so fascinated by architecture, but it’s also great because

“And I love it when little kids think of what the Trevi Fountain is and why Mr Chicken is in it.

“I sit in my studio and write and illustrate books but it’s a bit of a mystery what the kids get from them.

“I write the books in very much an adult voice which helps with the humour.

“It’s really important for children to read books as

stories provide a means by which they can go to another place.

“And the wonderful thing is with these books, children can choose one that suits them.”

Library officer Anne Shanley said having Mr Hobbs at the library had been incredibly special.

“It’s been a long-awaited event because of COVID impacts over the last two years and we are so excited to have him because books like Old Tom have been family favour-

ites for a long time,” she said.

Yackandandah Primary School teacher Kellie Bedggood said Mr Hobb’s visit brought his books alive for the kids.

“For them to see the author in Yackandandah is great as we don’t have that many of these opportunities, his books are for the right age group for our primary school aged kids and they love them,” she said.

Mr Hobbs was the Australian Children’s Laureate 2016 -2017.

Nats’ Ryan not seeking re-election MP cites familyy reasons for decision to end her p political career

By GUS RIDDER THE Victorian Nationals deputy leader and Euroa MP Steph Ryan announced on Tuesday she will not be seeking re-election in the upcoming state election.

“After a great deal of reflection, I have decided to step down as the member for Euroa at the coming state election,” Ms Ryan said.

“With a little one at home and another on the way, it is time for me to seek a job that offers greater flexibility.

“Serving my community as the first member for Euroa has been the honour of a lifetime.

“The greatest pleasure of this job has been the opportunity it has afforded me to meet every day people doing extraordinary things.

“Thanks to the talent and ingenuity of the people who call it home, our region’s future is bright.

“I am also immensely proud to have served as the deputy leader of the Nationals for the past eight years and to be the first woman in the party’s history to be elected to a leadership position, state or federal.

“I want to thank our leader Peter Walsh and my colleagues for their friendship and unwavering support over that time.

“I have always taken my duty to my electorate as my first priority.

“I believe our community deserves someone who can devote 150 per cent of their time and energy to representing them.

“In reality that means someone who can give

freely of weeknights and weekends and that, at this stage in my life, is not compatible with my wish to be more present for my family.

“I leave my role firm in the belief that The Nationals are as important to country communities today as they were 100 years ago.

“Country people need a party that works together as a team to represent the unique challenges we face.

“Over the next six months, I will continue to work tirelessly to see a new government led by Matthew Guy and Peter Walsh elected to ensure regional Victoria and my communities get their fair share.”

Hikers warned amid wet winter

By RYAN MALCOLM DANGEROUS conditions could greet hikers travelling to the North East over the coming weeks, with recent downpours rendering many existing tracks treacherous and slippery.

Following a spike in rescue responses across the state since the start of May, the State Emergency Service (SES) issued a warning to hikers travelling over the school holidays, with Mt Buffalo’s Eurobin Falls and Beechworth’s Woolshed Falls pinpointed as key focus areas for the North East.

According to Beechworth SES controller Charles Dean, hikers had largely been deterred from the area due to the wintry con-

ditions, but the popular tourist space continued to pose danger to those who didn’t take the necessary precautions when visiting.

“Because the weather has been so wet and cold it’s been a little quieter this year,” he said.

“Normally the time where the risk is greatest is leading into the summer.

“There’s that combination of smooth rock and water - we have lots of people getting to the edge and having a look, or sliding down the rock and realising it’s not as forgiving as a waterslide.”

In the event of a rescue in hard-to-reach areas of bushland, SES crews ordinarily deploy a high-angle rescue, utilising technical rope rescue skills to extract an inca-

TREACHEROUS TRAVEL: Woolshed Falls was named as one of the most regular rescue hot spots in the North East.

PHOTO: Ryan Malcolm pacitated or unreachable individual on a slope of more than 60 degrees.

Mr Dean said these highly-technical endeavours required a considerable resource investment to complete.

“A high-angle rescue requires a specialised crew and specialised equipment,” he said.

“Usually you’ll have CFA, Ambulance Victoria and specialised high-angle rescue teams attend - we usu-

ally send two vehicles and as many people as we can get from SES. “You could easily end up with 20 to 30 people on scene - it’s a very significant investment in resources.”

Hikers are urged to plan their trips based on their proficiency and fitness in accordance to the Parks Victoria website, and ensure they wear the correct clothes and have a charged smartphone, torch and map, as well as a first aid kit.

With wet weather set to continue over the coming weeks, would-be hikers are also encouraged to check the weather forecast and endeavour to complete their hike in daylight, while ensuring they walk with a partner or inform someone

of their expected return time before departing.

Mr Dean said this was particularly important due to the chance of flooding through the region over winter, and urged those driving in the area not to drive through floodwaters if they presented.

“Everything is so saturated,” he said.

“The water height could rise quite suddenly if we have a downpour.

“We don’t have a history of flash flooding but, being so saturated, the water will just run-off.”

For emergency assistance in the event of a lifethreatening incident, call Triple Zero (000) or SES on 132 500 for less urgent matters.

Victorian landcare grants and junior grants now open THE Victorian Government is providing a major funding boost to volunteers and young people across the state, including Northern Victoria, to help them protect and restore the natural environment in our area.

Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes announced the 2022 Victorian Landcare Grants and the 2022 Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants are now

open and aim to help volunteers and kids across the state protect Victoria’s environment.

“These grants will help volunteers and youth across the North East restore and improve habitats for our native plants and animals,” Jaclyn Symes said.

As part of the Victorian Landcare Grants, $3.35 million is available for grants of up to $20,000 to fund on-

ground projects that protect, enhance, and restore land and environment across Northern Victoria.

Support grants of up to $500 are also available to help with group administration and running costs.

The grants are open to environmental volunteering groups, including Landcare groups and networks, friends groups, conservation management networks,

committees of management and Aboriginal groups to support the important work they do in protecting and restoring our land and environment.

As part of the 2022 Victorian Junior Landcare and Biodiversity Grants, $450,000 of funding will be provided to environmental projects at schools, kindergartens, preschools, childcare centres and other youth groups

across the state.

Grants of up to $5000 will be available for projects that provide youth with an opportunity to participate in hands-on biodiversity projects or educate them in valuing and actively caring for biodiversity and the environment.

Both grant programs support the implementation of Protecting Victoria’s Environment - Biodiversity 2037,

the Victorian Government’s 20-year plan to protect Victoria’s environment and native species.

“This funding will assist our hard-working volunteers, community groups and youth to continue caring for our local natural environment,” Jaclyn Symes said.

Early bird jazz tickets on sale

By SIMONE KERWIN EARLY bird tickets for October’s Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues are now on sale.

The 2022 festival - running from October 28 to 30 - will be the first live version held since 2018, following a break in 2019 as organisers worked to ensure its future sustainability, and online events held in the last two years due to COVID-19.

“This year we excitedly present an Australian-centric program featuring local artists, expatriates returning from abroad and international artists collaborating with locals,” festival chair Dave Fuller w said.

“It will truly be a three day celebration of our incredible homegrown talent.”

The festival again incorporates the National Jazz Awards, which this year focus on the guitar, with entry details to be released in coming weeks.

And Merriwa Park will resume its place as the home of blues at this year’s event, with artists including The Black Sorrows w

HOOKED: Beechworth’s Neil Funston gained a creative love for food processing in his early career where he has been involved with many iconic products.

A passion for helping communities NEIL Funston was born in Melbourne and lived there for the first 25 years of his life before a move to far North Queensland for work, then shifted to North East Victorian town of Rutherglen in 1995 followed by a move to Beechworth.

“So, more than 25 years in North East Victoria and three years in Beechworth,” he said.

What’s your job?

In theory I am retired but I am a project manager/food process engineer and I am working on a project in Rutherglen at the moment - it’s local so that is fun.

What brought you to this role?

My first job was with Kraft Foods in Port Melbourne and from the first day I was hooked on food processing.

I love using my mind to create things.

What do you love about your job?

I am a very creative person and I just love developing processes that make products for our supermarket shelves.

There are many iconic products that I have been involved in.

What do you do in the community?

I am very community minded and try and get involved in local activities.

I am a director at BeyondHousing helping homeless people with social housing.

I am also an ambassador for White Ribbon and my wife Robyn and I do a lot of work for Share The Dignity (www.sharethedignity.org.au) trying to eliminate period poverty.

I am also a presenter on community radio, Indigo FM. What’s the most important current community issue for you?

Undoubtedly the lack of affordable, suitable and appropriate housing.

Everyone deserves a house to live in.

This is a major issue for our region.

What would you do to solve, change or improve that situation?

If I had a magic wand I would open up some new tracts of land for housing, but I know that this is a long process.

Beechworth Rezoning the land is the easy bit.

But the infrastructure surrounding it like services including water, power and sewerage are the roadblocks in my opinion.

What’s the most important current world issue for you?

Power generation is a major issue for Australia but also the world.

I am a nuclear power convert and renewables need to combine with nuclear to eliminate emissions.

We can never eliminate emissions using coal and gas fired power stations.

Seven million people die from air pollution every year, a lot of that is from car emissions but a lot comes from power stations.

Nuclear power is actually half the price of solar power to produce.

If the person you would most like to meet came to Indigo, or was already here, who would that be and what would you show them?

Dick Smith.

I haven’t actually met him but I have spoken to him on the phone about some of his food projects.

I would love to show him the Beechworth Gorge and take him on the scenic bush walk.

He is a great Australian.

Why would you show him that?

Because it’s beautiful and a there is lot of gold history through there, especially the Chinese involvement.

Dick is such an adventurer he would love to get dirty going on that walk.

What book are you reading?

Not surprisingly - ‘Dick Smith My Adventurous Life’.

Vaughan Saunders had a great round to win the day by three shots with a two under score of 66 for a nett 65.

Willem Love was runner up with 75/7/68. Josh Carr came in third position with 76/5/71.

Ball winners were Dave Lang 90/72, Jarryd Pritchard 76/72 and Dylan Pool 73/72.

Only one nearest the pin went off on the day and that went to Dylan Pool on the 17th.

There were also two first round matches of the handicap matchplay championship played with both matches going down to the 19th hole to determine the winner.

Dave Lang accounted for Josh Carr and Jacob Howard got the better of Dylan Pool.

Bushrangers leap into top three

By BAILEY ZIMMERMANN THE Beechworth Bushrangers jumped to third on the Tallangatta and District senior football league ladder after dismantling Rutherglen by 87 points over the weekend.

Dylan Pritchard was the stand out for the Bushrangers booting six goals while both Cartledges Ed and and Tom, were solid yet again.

Coach Tom Cartledge said despite the differences on the ladder, the team didn’t take the match-up for granted and the result exceeded expectations.

“I think some of the dialogue from the wider TDFL thought it was going to be a bit tighter than what it was,” he said.

“We were just happy to go out there and give it a crack and the result took care of itself.

“It’s a nice little cherry on top to be in the top three leading into the bye for sure.”

The win cleared the Bushrangers from Barnawartha for third position on the ladder on percentage.

It will be a league wide bye this weekend and the Bushrangers had a full team meeting during the week to address how the team will be looking to maximise the break and their results post the bye.

Cartledge said the team put goals in place to achieve over the next four week block, a routine the Bushrangers have had since they started pre-season in October which has been key to their successes so far this season.

“We’ve broken the year into phases and said this is what we’re going to focus on for this period,” he said.

“We want to make sure we stay accountable to our focus as a group, how we prepare for the game, just the little things that makes up for the bigger picture.”

Cartledge said he wants his team to take the break for what it is as they look to be fully prepared for the last third of the season.

“Everyone’s taking the opportunity to rest up and get healthy and be right for the next block,” he said.

FLYING HIGH: The Beechworth Bushrangers will look to maintain their focus for success after the league wide bye this weekend.
