Issue #306 – Wednesday, 4 November, 2015

Albury Wodonga’s largest circulating newspaper

Uiver to spread its wings The Uiver had its last day in the spotlight on Saturday before restoration works begin on the UIver Memorial project. SEE MORE ON PAGE 4

Fear of fire ONE of Hamilton Valley’s greatest mysteries has been brought to life through a novel penned by two local sisters who lived through the experience. When a serial arsonist began torching property and set over 300 fires in the area between 1964 and 1968, the quiet farming region was gripped by fear and uncertainty. Sisters Leonie and Cheryl Alldis remember the real-life mystery and paranoia that plagued the close-knit orcharding community, and have used their experience as the basis of their new novel ‘Red Hot’. The true story of the local firebug that terrorised the valley for years still burns hot in the memory of the Alldis sisters. While both have fond memories of growing up in Hamilton Valley, riding their bikes until dark, playing hide and seek in the orchards, and living alongside some of the hardest working families around, Leonie said their carefree childhood was somewhat extinguished when the arsonist began to strike. “The valley was a tranquil, safe place until the lunatic went on his relentless rampage,” she said. “We had to be in before dark, no wandering the hills and orchards anymore - he spoiled everything for everyone!” Living on a 22-acre property, the Alldis family like many others in the region lost some of their buildings and sheds to the firebug. Rebuilding was barely an option, with new buildings often simply being burnt down again. Those who wanted to sell their properties couldn’t find anyone willing

to buy into the terror-ridden area. While many local people were charged for the offences, all were acquitted and the culprit still has never been found. The sisters say they have drawn on their personal experience to create not just a story about a crazed arsonist, but to also explore how the tensions and suspicions tore the local community apart, through their fictitious novel. “It was just night after night,” Leonie said, recalling the firebug era in Hamilton Valley. “There was more in the news on this at that time than the Vietnam War. “It really tested all concerned - if they worked hard before they sure were put to the test when they had to patrol their properties in shifts at night and work in the day. “It got to the point where (property owners) said they would shoot anyone after dark on their properties.” While the series of arson attacks started off small with tyres and horse jumps, they soon become increasingly bigger and took haysheds, packing sheds, and even almost houses. The Alldis sisters planned to write the book around 20 years ago, and found themselves on a compelling journey to further understand the terrorism that plagued their childhood community. From interviewing locals and relatives who recalled the experience and former police officers who worked the case, revisiting court cases, to uncovering a long list of local suspects which included some of their own family members, the mystery continued to intrigue the Alldis sisters as they worked to turn their information into a compelling read.

Cheryl and Leonie Alldis have turned their childhood horror of growing up with the Hamilton Valley fires into a novel. 146418 ‘This book is not just about each and every fire, this book is about the impact it had on their community and the impact it had on their lives.” Their investigations also led the sisters to uncover some personal and explosive secrets harboured by their own family, which have also worked their way into ‘Red Hot’. “Many people back then kept secrets and skeletons in the closet,” Leonie said. While the book is written as a novel, with no local names mentioned and no fingers pointed at a culprit, Leonie admits a lot of emotion had been put into the pages. To this day, the 50-year-old mystery still tugs at some of those who lived through the terror. Leonie said not everyone was thrilled the story had resurfaced, but said it was one that needed to be told. “It’s hard to believe he was never caught. “Somebody knows and they’ve let that happen.”

He thinks that having outdoor experiences with YMCA Howmans Gap Alpine Centre is an essential for the success of the Peer Support Program. “Everyone is out of their comfort zone and comes out of their shells. It’s really good”. The hike with YMCA Howmans Gap Alpine Centre was the first time that many of the students had experienced camping in the Australian environment. Beatrice Nyandamira, 17, came to Wodonga one month ago from Kenya. She believes that going on the hike was an important part of forming friendships in her new home. “We get to socialise with different people from different places, so it’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other more”.

ONE of Australia’s largest photographic prizes will be up for grabs at Murray Arts Museum Albury (MAMA) next year. The biennial MAMA Art Foundation National Photography Prize has this week been officially announced, and will run at the new art gallery next year from 20 May 20 through to August. The prize pool has more than doubled in value, up from $20,000 in 2014 to $50,000 next year making it one of the country’s richest contemporary photography awards. The exhibition is expected to showcase the best in contempo-

rary Australian photography. The award comprises the MAMA Art Foundation National Photography Prize of up to $47,000 and the $3,000 John and Margaret Baker Memorial Fellowship which has been offered since 2000 to provide encouragement and financial assistance to an emerging photographer chosen from the National Photography Prize exhibition. MAMA Art Foundation chairman Tony Smith made the announcement on Wednesday and said the foundation was proud to be involved. “(We are) delighted to support this major increase in the

LAST year, two Year 11 students from Wodonga Senior Secondary College noticed their classmates from culturally diverse backgrounds were having difficulty mixing in with the wider student population. From this, the Peer Support Program was born. Starting as an after-school sports program, the Peer Support Program quickly developed to include outdoor adventures with the YMCA Howmans Gap Alpine Centre. The program has proved a catalyst for the teenagers to develop their social skills, form bonds with other students, improve their English, and feel part of the local community. Led by staff from YMCA Howmans Gap Alpine Centre, the group of 10 students spent two days hiking over the Bogong High Plains, carrying packs and sleeping in tents for

Extra support for mothers By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE future for local mothers battling post-natal depression is now brighter following the announcement the Perinatal Emotional Health Program will continue running in Wodonga. The 15-year-old program that helps over 100 north-east Victorian mothers struggling with post-natal depression and anxiety was in jeopardy after federal funding was pulled earlier this year, and the Victorian Government could only commit funds until December 2015. The State Government will now commit 50 per cent of ongoing costs needed to keep the program’s doors open, while Albury Wodonga Health will fund the remainder internally substantiating from existing services. The announcement comes as

Albury Wodonga Health officially opened its new Parent and Baby Unit on Friday morning. The $736,000 new building in Wodonga’s Benson Street has been funded by a Victorian Rural capital Support Fund Grant. The building will replace the former service running from a house near Wodonga Hospital. The Parents and Babies Service offers a range of early parenting services and support to families with infants through to nine-months-old in the area including sleep and setline, breast feeding, infant nutrition and care, and psychological support for mothers. The service supports around 225 parents and their babies each month. The service has also teamed up with Tresillian which will enable an extension of the

programs and services offered including Early Intervention Outreach Home Visiting supporting and guiding parents in the transition to parenthood in their home. Tresillian is the largest early parenting organisation in Australia, providing specialist child and family health services, support and advice to families in NSW since 1918. The building was officially opened by Northern Victoria Region MP Jaclyn Symes, who told the crowd she had utilised perinatal services following the birth of her children. “Being a new parent is such an exciting time for families, but it can also be very daunting,” Ms Symes said. “It’s perfectly understandable that parents need some extra support sometimes, and these services are here to help.”

City spared from superstorm By ERIN SOMERVILLE ALBURY Wodonga was spared the worst from an intense storm - that has been likened to a tornado after it ripped through northern Victoria on Sunday. About 10 homes lost parts of their roofs in the town of Strathmerton - west of Cobram - as the intense storm cell passed over. The Bureau of Meteorology recorded over 30mm of rain in Albury on Sunday and Monday, but other areas on the Border have recorded higher falls. Meanwhile, reports and footage of a small tornado

forming near Numurkah have also emerged. The State Emergency Service said the trail of damage stretched hundreds of kilometres east of Deniliquin along the border. The Murray Region SES said crews attended six jobs on Sunday in Albury, and one on Monday morning, after winds and rain left damage to roofs, gutters, and felled trees. “(Sunday) afternoon when that band of storms came through that kicked things off,” Murray Region SES Controller Bernard Kates said.

“We had quite a few jobs across the place. “There was a little bit of floodwaters from storm drains that didn’t do their job.” The storm season is expected to deliver another patch of rough weather this week. Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Mohammed Nabi said more “significant” falls were on their way, and they could bring some storm activity. The 24-hour period over Wednesday could see up to 20mm, while a further 10mm was expected to fall on Thursday.

ABC takes axe to regional show Get the By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE ABC has announced plans to axe its regional ‘Mornings’ programs across the country. The ABC Goulburn Murray ‘Mornings’ show that is aired from Wodonga studios and hosted by Joseph Thomsen was included in the shake-up announced on Thursday by the ABC. The changes will see the ’Breakfast’ program extended, and a new feature-based program called Local Life introduced. The local 6.30am, 7.30am

and noon news bulletins will still be produced locally and remain unchanged, but other bulletins are expected to be produced externally with fewer local stories. The announcement has prompted an outcry from Federal Indi MP Cathy McGowan, who has called for ABC management to reverse its decision to drastically change its news delivery on ABC Local radio. “The ABC is a valued and trusted source of news and information, particularly in regional Australia,” she said.

“Communities have a great sense of connection to their local ABC radio station.” Ms McGowan has written to Communications Minister Mitch Fifield calling for the government to take action for the rights of people in regional Australia, many who rely on the ABC for their daily news and emergency broadcasts. The call also comes after Ms McGowan hosted The Australia Institute launch of the ‘Heartland - The bush loves its ABC’ report in Canberra last month that the ABC is failing regional audiences.

Uiver works its charm By ERIN SOMERVILLE RAIN didn’t keep away plane enthusiasts on Saturday who took the chance to see the Uiver memorial plane in one piece before it undergoes restoration. The restoration project of the iconic plane will see its wings taken off and engine removed as it is moved undercover to the Smartair hangar to begin its transformation. The extensive work is expected to take around five years, and will include dismantling the plane, tackling corrosion, fixing panels, and restoring the DC-2 plane to its former glory. This will be the second restoration project on the plane, after the Rotary Club of Albury West acquired it in 1979 and placed it at Albury airport. The plane is the sister of the Uiver, which sadly crashed shortly after its famous landing in Albury in 1934. The restoration will see the plane remain static for exhibition purposes.

A group of volunteers, including a former Boeing engineer, will be helping to dismantle the plane and restore it. The move to upgrade the Uiver memorial is part of a 10-year project that the Uiver Memorial Community Trust board has set itself to see the plane kept undercover among a permanent exhibition documenting the Albury Uiver story and plane’s significance. Uiver Memorial Community Trust board member Nicole Thomas said it was important the plane was kept in good condition. “It is significant historically, this is the oldest DC-2 in the world. “It also has such a connection with the community of Albury. “When it was on the pole is represented that story. “It has social significance, not just historical.” Volunteers who can assist with metal work, carpentry, and welding are welcome to join the project, and can call Ms Thomas on 0447 778 020.

THE new $1 million dollar facelift to Regent Cinema’s Gold Class has been unveiled to the public on Thursday. The renovations have seen Regent Cinema’s Cinema Nine transformed into a second Gold Class Theatre for the business, with 40 new seats - nine more than the original Gold Class theatre. The cinema’s Gold Class lounge has also had a make-over, moving downstairs to replace Cafe Regent, while the kitchen has also been upgraded to cater for up to 70 meals every 45 minutes. The kitchen upgrade has stemmed from the Gold Class experience that allows customers to create a meal and have it served throughout the film. Regent Cinema marketing manager Lucas Mellier said the upgrades have come following a high demand for the Gold Class experience. “We had just the one Gold Class and 31 seats, and it was very popular, particularly over the weekend and holidays. “We’ve added new staff and more staffing hours to Gold Class, over double.” Mr Mellier said the extra cinema would allow more variety of films to be screened in Gold Class.

Festive pass for safe trip home By ERIN SOMERVILLE

The Stoccos were arrested last week after a long battle with the Picture: TWITTER law. 146387

Stoccos behind bars By ERIN SOMERVILLE GINO and Mark Stocco remain behind bars after being refused bail at a short Dubbo Local Court hearing. The wanted father and son duo had been on the run from police for eight years for a string of crimes, but the chase became hot when they fired a shotgun at police near Albury on 16 October. The Stoccos led police on a hunt across New South Wales and Victoria before being arrested at a property on Tonniges Road at Elong Elong shortly before noon on Wednesday 28 October. The Stoccos have been charged with 34 offences. The pair did not face court last week, and bail was refused by Magistrate Andrew Eckhold in under two minutes.

The Stoccos have been taken to a prison in Wellington in central New South Wales and were expected to be transferred to another facility. The arrest comes following a covert operation involving officers from Western Region, New England Local Area Command, the Tactical Operations Unit, Aviation Support Branch, and State Crime Command’s Robbery and Serious Crime Squad. No shots were fired and police reported no-one was injured during the arrest, although images show both Stoccos had some lacerations and bruising shortly after arrest. Police would like to thank their interstate counterparts at Victorian Police, as well as the media and the public for their assistance during the search.

A SIMPLE voucher for a safe trip home could help save a life on the roads this festive season. With under two months until Christmas, AlburyCity has launched its Arrive Home Safely program that allows businesses to receive $5 taxi vouchers and help their staff get home safely. The campaign is designed to keep drink-drivers off the roads. The businesses are asked to contribute $2 for each taxi voucher and AlburyCity covers the remaining $3. When they register for the Arrive Home Safely program, businesses receive tips on how to host a safe Christmas party and free Plan B resources. Albury mayor Hank van de Ven has registered his business for the vouchers, hoping to show his staff not only a good time but a safe way home. “We want people to enjoy themselves but to get home safely,” he said. Chairman of the Local Traffic Committee Cr Graham Docksey urged people to think about their Plan B, especially over the festive season. “Some Plan Bs are smart-

Albury Taxis driver Rehman Abbasi, Albury mayor Hank van de Ven, and AlburyWodonga Dial A Driver owners Jennifer Locke and Greg McTigue launch vouchers to Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE help people arrive home safely. 146243 er than others - if you’re drinking, don’t drive, it’s that simple,” he said. He said that anyone planning a party should consider how their guests are going to arrive home safely. “Workplaces have a responsibility to keep staff safe, the Arrive Home Safely Program is one way of helping achieve that. “Businesses are becoming more aware of their responsibilities when hosting a staff

Christmas party. “An increasing number of them are considering different transport options which is really pleasing to hear.” Drink-driving is one of the biggest causes of death and injury on NSW roads. Between January 2010 and December 2014, 5.8 per cent of fatal and injury crashes in Albury involved alcohol as a contributing factor. Albury Taxis driver Rehman Abbasi said the ini-

tiative was one the taxi drivers supported and one they hoped would make the roads safer. “It’s going to help people if they need extra money and get them to go home safely,” he said. The vouchers can be pooled together by users to help discount shared taxi fares. To register your Christmas party, go to alburycity.nsw. gov.au/arrivehome

The best of impressions By ERIN SOMERVILLE

Above: An 1895 lithograph to hang in MAMA as part of its tribute to Paris. 146215 Left: A 1982 lithograph to go on exhibition at MAMA. 146215

MAMA has secured a major exhibition of Paris Impressionists. The exhibition will bring more than 150 prints, posters, drawings and monotypes by the Impressionist masters Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas and Daumier borrowed from the collection of the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) to the newlyopened Murray Arts Museum Albury (MAMA). This special exhibition of works on paper will be further complemented by five bronze sculptures of ballet dancers by Degas, which are also on loan to MAMA from the collections of the NGA, Art Gallery of NSW and Queensland Art Gallery. MAMA director Jacqui Hemsley said the exhibition marked an important milestone for the new contemporary art museum. “Impressions of Paris represents a significant departure from the sorts of exhibitions we are used to seeing in Albury,” she said. “For the first time in this region we have facilities which meet the conservation and exhibition standards required by leading Australian and international galleries to present such important works of art.” AlburyCity mayor Henk van de Ven said the Impressions of Paris exhibition was great news for MAMA and for the city. “The upcoming exhibitions Impressions of Paris, and Marilyn: Celebrating an American Icon, are proof that MAMA will reposition Albury as a major cultural destination and draw people to our city.”

Albury mayor Hank van de Ven joins Scarecrow, Lion, and Dorothy, and children Bella Campbell, Chloe Coopers, and Patrick Pudney in the lead up the Wizard of Oz themed Picture: ERIN SOMERVILLE Picnic in the Park. 146384

Picnic plans THERE may be no place like home, but Sunday’s Picnic in the Garden promises to be just as delightful. Follow the yellow road to the Children’s Garden at Albury Botanic Gardens and be entertained by Dorothy and Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and a Lion as they turn the beloved gardens into the magical world of Oz. The event kicks off from 10am, with a wide array of free entertainment and activities planned for children and their parents. Children and adults are guaranteed delight as they are entertained by giant flamingo stilt walkers, a pride of cheeky roving lions, miniature pony

rides, a scarecrow-making workshop, mega janga, a farmyard nursery, live music and dance performances and a host of other activities. The event has become a hit with families on the Border. “Picnic in the Gardens has become an annual event that local families really look forward to. We’re expecting hundreds of people to come along once again and enjoy a terrific day in Albury’s stunning Botanic Gardens,” AlburyCity mayor Henk van de Ven said. Cr van de Ven said this year’s event, inspired by the classic 1939 Children’s movie The Wizard of Oz, will provide a colourful backdrop to entertain and delight young children

and their parents. “The gardens are looking spectacular at the moment, so with Picnic in the Gardens this Sunday and another wonderful Music in the Gardens planned for the following Sunday, there really is no place like home.” Children are encouraged to dress as their favourite characters from the Wizard of Oz. Food and drink will be available for purchase throughout the day, or families are welcome to bring along a picnic. Live music will be provided by Albury Jazz favourites Tony Lukav and the Zoot Suit Trio and the Albury City Band. The event is free and runs from 10am to 2pm.

Job skills focus in $1 million centre that showed north-east Victoria was among the worst areas in Victoria for youth unemployment, with rates over 17 per cent. “The government’s new investment in Wodonga TAFE is additional to our $2.5m investment earlier this year for it to develop a student employment program to address issues of youth and long-term unemployment,” Ms Symes said. Wodonga TAFE expects the centre to be operational early next year at TAFEspace in the Civic Precinct of the CBD.

By ERIN SOMERVILLE WODONGA TAFE is set see the development of a Skills and Jobs Centre to help tackle youth unemployment.

The Border has seen its driest October since 2006. 146368

Picture: ADAM WILSON

Rain falls short By ERIN SOMERVILLE THE Border has recorded its driest October in almost a decade. Bureau of Meteorology records show just 10.6 mm of rain have fallen at Albury airport in October. Over half of this rainfall came on the month’s final day, with 5.4mm falling on 31 October. These figures fall short of the October average of 59mm, with the region

not having recorded an October this dry since just 2.2mm of rain managed to dampen the region in October, 2006. This year’s October rain was also much sparser compared to October 2014, when 19.6mm of rain fell over the same area. The weather bureau predicts temperatures will begin to soar in November, with an 80 per cent chance of aboveaverage temperatures throughout the month. Forecasters are also expecting a

30 to 40 per cent chance of below-average rainfall. Bureau forecaster Mohammed Nabi said a dry October didn’t necessarily point to a dry or hot summer, but El Nino patterns could have an effect. “Temperatures have been above average for much of NSW for the last few years,” Mr Nabi said. “We are also in El Nino right now. “That has had strong effects over winter and spring.”

health and suicide consequences. We are not grieved but rather grateful to the bishops of Wangaratta and Gippsland for their courageous leadership in protecting local kids and adults without the resources of their urban counterparts. They have done so out of genuine concern to protect the lives of vulnerable people and in doing so are in the firing line. No-one has ever suffered from too much love and acceptance but many have perished for want of it, and increasingly Christian voices around the world are reassessing the biblical basis for discrimination and asking what the words of The Bible actually mean. In challenging the human cost of qualified acceptance and consecrated prejudice, Sydney has become an urban backwater challenged by progressive bishops from the bush.

THE criticism by the Anglican Diocese of Sydney Synod of the bishops of Wangaratta and Gippsland in relation to marriage equality will be like “water off a duck's back" for most churches in regional Australia. The communication of its displeasure sent to every bishop in the country by the Sydney Synod is even less likely to impress their rebellious country cousins. Last week the Anglican diocese of Sydney Synod has declared itself “grieved” by actions of bishops of Gippsland and Wangaratta who have expressed a more open attitude toward marriage equality, gay people and their families. At the same time the synod called for God’s love to be expressed in word and deed toward refugees. The continued discrimination against gay people promoted by conservative Christian traditions makes gay people refugees in their own society and is the cause of untold suffering and youth and mental

Fair fire laws plea VOLUNTEER Fire Brigades Victoria (VFBV) is encouraging every Victorian MP to stand up for CFA volunteers with cancer by publicly signing a pledge that they will campaign and vote for fairer and simpler cancer compensation. VFBV chief executive officer Andrew Ford says the State Government promised Victorian firefighters cancer legislation for 2016, but volunteers are very concerned that there now appears to be a backdown on this promise with new restrictions to even further limit their access to the important presumptive legislation. “CFA volunteers are already fighting the early fires of summer, and they deserve to know whether they are covered,” Mr Ford said. “CFA volunteers also deserve to receive a commitment that career and volunteer firefighters will be treated equally under any new compensation arrangements,” he said. VFBV says Victoria must follow

the lead of Queensland and South Australia, where the State Governments have introduced fairer and simpler cancer compensation that treats volunteers and staff equally.“CFA volunteers across the state are presenting the pledge to their local MPs and asking them to sign it and support legislation that finally makes cancer compensation accessible to both career and volunteer firefighters,” Mr Ford said. Mr Ford said CFA volunteers want all Victorian MPs to commit to fair legislation as soon as possible, to give them confidence as they move into the summer fire season. “We’ve been working on this for four years and every other State except New South Wales has acted on it. Summer is here and we urgently need clarity for our CFA volunteers,” he said. “Volunteers shouldn’t have to meet extra eligibility requirements just because they are not paid,” Mr Ford said. “The smoke and chemicals don’t discriminate, nor should cancer com-

pensation for the firefighters who protect the community.” VFBV Media Contact: Peter Beaton 0419 504 111. PO Box 453 Mount Waverley 3149; Unit 9, 24 Lakeside Drive Burwood East 3151; Tel 9886 1141; Fax 9886 1618; vfbv@vfbv.com.auInc. A0043424H; ABN. 110 830 804 03 2 CFA volunteers are asking all Victorian MPs to sign the pledge that says; · I will support CFA volunteers with cancer · I will vote for non-discriminatory presumptive legislation for all Victorian Firefighters The current Queensland legislation is what Labor promised Victorian firefighters in the lead-up to the last election. It uses the same list of 12 cancers and years of service requirements that appear in the legislation of other states, without any additional eligibility hurdles that discriminate against volun-

teers. Mr Ford said under the current system in Victoria, firefighters face a nearly impossible barrier that puts all of the burden of proof on them. “The sick firefighter is expected to come up with the evidence, often more than exists in CFA’s own files, when the cause of their cancer could be a fire or chemical spill 10 or 15 years ago that they don’t even remember attending,” he said. “That’s an almost impossible barrier for the sick firefighter, another worry for their family and a distraction from concentrating on their treatment and recovery.” In Queensland and South Australia, the cancer law is presumptive legislation that does what CFA volunteers are requesting in Victoria, it reverses the onus of proof. This means the firefighter’s cancer is presumed to be work-related, provided it is one of 12 typical firefighter cancers and the firefighter has sufficient years of service. South Australia had initially required

volunteers to prove a specific number of turnouts to fires as well as having to meet the years of service requirement that applied to their career colleagues, but dropped that discriminatory extra requirement in 2014. Queensland’s Parliament rejected any discrimination in its legislation this year and voted to treat career and volunteer firefighters equally from the outset. Under the legislation sought by CFA volunteers, claims can still be rejected if it is proven the cancer was not related to firefighting duties. Mr Ford said CFA volunteers also want the Victorian legislation to be retrospective, so that it looks after firefighters who have already been diagnosed with cancer. “This legislation can’t come fast enough for CFA volunteer members who are already suffering from workrelated cancer. Volunteers are sick of waiting and want all Victorian MPs to pledge to support the health and safety of their volunteer firefighters,” he said.

Fire plans mapped out this week

Fire Action Week aims to prevent fire disasters claiming property and lives. 146363

Tips, plans at fingertips THERE are some simple things you can do during Fire Action Week to make sure you’re ready for fire this summer: · Check the fire risk where you live at cfa.vic.gov.au/myrisk · Download the FireReady app to your mobile device · Check Fire Danger Ratings daily at emergency.vic.gov.au · Find warnings at emergency.vic.gov.au. Make sure you

understand the three levels of warnings and what they mean · Pack a kit with important documents, photos, medications, money and clothes so you can leave easily before a fire starts · Talk to your family and friends about how you’ll know when to leave and where to go to stay safe · Talk to family, friends or neighbours who may need help leaving early about when

they’re going to leave, where they’re going to go, and how you can help · Be prepared for power failure in extreme weather conditions. For more information see energy and resources vic.gov. au/power-outage-guide Remember, taking steps to get prepared before a fire starts means it will be easier to act when you’re under pressure.

Emergency Management Commissioner Craig Lapsley urges everyone to prepare for bush fire season. 146363

FIRE Action Week, which kicked off on 1 November will run until 8 November, and is Victoria’s annual fire planning and preparation week. Emergency Management commissioner Craig Lapsley said Fire Action Week was a great opportunity for Victorians to understand the risk where they lived, and put plans in place to stay safe during the summer months. “Right now, forecasts show that there is potential for a long, hot, dry summer in Victoria,” Mr Lapsley said. “Fire Action Week is a great time to increase your understanding of the fire risk where you live, prepare your property, and talk to your family and friends about what you’ll do if a fire starts.” Mr Lapsley said that making informed decisions about what to do before a fire started was vital to stay safe during the summer. “Now is the best time to understand your fire risk and get prepared, not when a fire starts,” Mr Lapsley said. “This week, talk to your family, friends and to your neighbours about the fire risk where you live and make plans for what you’ll do on hot, dry, windy days. “Make sure you know where to check Fire Danger Ratings. Over summer, you’ll need to check the ratings daily to understand your fire risk. Remember that as ratings increase, so does your risk of fire. “It’s up to you to stay informed by using more than one source of information. Tune in to ABC local radio, commercial and designated community radio stations or Sky News TV, phone the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667, visit emergency.vic.gov.au, download the FireReady App, and use CFA’s Twitter and Facebook accounts. Make sure you understand the levels of warnings, what they mean, and what you need to do. “This summer, on hot, dry, windy days, fires will start and spread quickly. The best way to protect yourself and your family is to leave early. If the Fire Danger Rating is Severe, Extreme or Code Red, you’re risking your life if don’t take action,” he said. In the lead-up to summer, CFA brigades around the state are getting out and about in their community to talk about preparing for fire. You can check cfa.vic.gov.au/events for information on what’s happening in your local area. For more information on how to get prepared for summer, go to emergency.vic.gov.au

Message from the Premier This week is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to begin preparing for the summer ahead. Fire Action Week is your opportunity to better understand the fire risk in your area, so talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and get prepared. Last summer we saw fire conditions ease slightly in some areas of the state. While this was a welcome reprieve for many Victorians, the challenge now is to put fire planning back on the agenda. This is particularly important given summer forecasts indicate

above normal fire potential in many parts of the state. You don’t have to live in the country to be at risk. Fires can occur where suburbs meet the bush, or in urban areas where houses have grassland, bushland, or parkland around them. This week is your opportunity to revisit your fire planning with the following actions: • Know where to check Fire Danger Ratings daily over summer • Have your emergency kit ready to go, and make sure you have a plan for pets or livestock

• Stay informed about warnings and updates • Know where you will go, what route to take, and have a back up if there’s already a fire in the area. If you have recently moved into a high-risk area, make sure you understand how to prepare yourself and your property. Talk to your local community and CFA brigade to make sure you are equipped with the information you need. Remember, it is up to you to understand your risk and keep informed. Leaving a high-risk bushfire area early remains the safest option.

For more information on how to get prepared for summer, go to emergency.vic.gov.au, or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line (VBIL) on 1800 240 667. If you have a hearing or speech impairment, contact the VBIL via the National Relay Service on 1800 555 677.

BORDER emergency services were preparing for the worst at Albury Airport on Wednesday morning, with a simulated crash scenario testing their skills if a hypothetical disaster ever becomes a reality. Operation 'Didn’t Stop' was designed to test the Albury Airport Emergency Plan in the event of a disaster, including a

plane crashing off the end of the local runway. AlburyCity airport operations team leader David Costello said the exercise would confirm the response procedures. “In our scenario, a passenger aircraft coming in to land on Albury Airport runway 25 experiences control difficulties and touches down further along the runway than normal and

then crashes off the end of the runway,” Mr Costello said. “We’ll be testing the initial call-out response of our local emergency response agencies, the co-ordination between agencies and the use of our facilities for the management of survivors after initial triage.” Mr Costello said about 30 volunteers would play injured passengers and crew.

Severe clear view of Bill’s diatribe I’M GLAD Bill Whitham has got so much off his chest in his letter of 28 October. The world will be a much better place now. However he does hold some questionable views about the way things are and the one glaring example of this is his fear that “One morning we will wake up to find we do not own Australia any longer”. Bill, we do not own Australia and never have. This land was invaded and stolen from the people who had been liv-

ing here for many tens of thousands of years. It was white, Anglo Celt Christian, God fearing people who did this - your ancestors. And this happened around the time Voltaire, as you quote, talked about a God-given right to express your views - even if they are incorrect, misguided or just the rantings of an angry person who cannot see that change is the way life is. Maybe one morning we will all wake up and realise that we live in a place that has an abun-

dance of greatness and that we will stop abusing and wasting it. And my whinge for the day is about people who have a roof over their heads, a kitchen full of food, plenty of clothing, a means of getting around and all the gadgets of modern living who whinge and bitch about how terrible things are but cannot propose an intelligent solution to all the problems they perceive.

Singing Murray Gardens’ praises IMAGINE travelling the world doing what you love and being paid (though not brilliantly) for it? That’s the life that Albury lady Wilma Friedlieb has to look back over as she enjoys her retirement years. Ms Friedlieb lives a quiet but full life at Murray Gardens Retirement Village now, moving in to the serviced apartments six months ago. But life wasn’t always quite so laidback for the talented 90-year-old. Born and bred in Albury, Ms Friedlieb, a classical singer and mezzo soprano, travelled to Europe and the UK to perform in the 1950s. As she is quick to point out this was in a time that people didn’t just hop a plane to London or Paris for a holiday and certainly not to work. “It was 1955 and I spent two years in England,” she said of her time in the UK - as the country finally started to recover from World War II. “I loved it, it really was very exciting. “There was a terrible lot of building going on as things were repaired in London.” She said the performing (mainly classical) kept her busy and it wasn’t the glamorous life you might expect “it was a lot of hard work” - but she obviously loved it. “I worked for various companies and different shows - including heading to the wilds of Scotland,” Ms Friedlieb said. “I stayed there a while until I got the opportunity to do shows here - I was in My Fair Lady in the chorus and understudy to the housekeeper and Mrs Higgins.

“It was a wonderful experience to be at His Majesty’s Theatre in Melbourne and a few months in Adelaide.” She performed in My Fair Lady before returning to settle back in Albury. “The conservatorium was just starting and I came home and tutored there for eight years,” she said. It was coming full circle for Ms Friedlieb who got her start in the music industry in Albury - a town that was also bustling after the war thanks to the Snowy Mountains Scheme. ”I did my schooling here - my family was quite well known - my father had a pharmacy and my brother and sister carried it on,” she said. “Albury was great after the war - all the young people came back and there were a lot of live shows and I did a lot of musicals here.” There were dances and balls and Ms Friedlieb said it was a great place for a classical singer to be. Albury was also the place where Ms Friedlieb got to experience one of her the biggest thrills of her life - singing with the super-star of her day Joan Sutherland. And while it was an event that she never forgot she was surprised to find a few years later that Ms Sutherland remembered her too. “She was performing at Covent Garden and I was able to go to listen, standing backstage,” she said explaining that as she came off stage she greeted her and the great lady remembered her even though she had been a young beginner in Albury. “She was so lovely,” Ms Friedlieb said.

Retirement living bar raised By ERIN SOMERVILLE RIVERWOOD has proved itself a winner for retirement living once again with another successful open day bringing in the crowd on Friday. Open days at Riverwood always provide residents and guests with plenty of fun, as they get to explore the village and share the experience of Riverwood living with both new and familiar faces. “We have lots of new people coming to view the units for sale,” Riverwood sales manager Wayne Matsinos said. A highlight of the open day included the Riverwood bowls team opening up the green and holding a tournament, while an arts and crafts display highlighted further activities on offer for residents at the village. Guests thoroughly enjoyed exploring all the village had to offer, along with a light lunch provided by Riverwood and served by its residents, allowing visitors to get to meet the locals and learn more about life at Riverwood. The open day also was a chance to show off the modern and spacious units available. “At the moment, Riverwood has four units for sale, and two are being refurbished. “People are realising it’s a great place to come and live after downsizing.” The busy week has continued at Riverwood, with Melbourne Cup Day bringing out the residents for a fun-filled afternoon. More than 100 residents attended the celebrations, which included a great lunch, sweeps and a Calcutta. If you missed last week’s open day, don’t hesitate to give the friendly team at Riverwood a call to arrange a separate tour and inspection of the village.

More new home designs DUE to overwhelming demand and a stage one sell out, Active Lifestyle Estates Albury has announced six additional home designs - including their first three-bedroom home with undercover garage. Active Lifestyle Estates Albury Sales manager Megan Collins said the larger homes were perfect for those looking for community living without sacrificing on space. “The new-generation manufactured homes have surprised many people in terms of their quality and size - particularly the open plan design, large kitchens and modern finishes,” Ms Collins said. “There is a strong focus on natural light, open plan living and good storage with homes strategically placed so as to provide maximum privacy between homes and outdoor entertainment areas.” Active Lifestyle Estates Albury is currently in the middle of a $20 million refurbishment, with a new communitycentre featuring an events space, swimming pool, and alfresco dining area due to be completed in 2016. “We envisage the community centre will act as a theatre room, community lounge and meeting space - providing residents with the perfect space to relax, socialise and entertain,” Ms Collins said. The Active Lifestyle Estates model is unique in that buyers purchase a new, state-of-the-art manufactured home and lease, rather than own the land, eliminating the need to pay stamp duty,

entry and exit fees and council rates. With homes starting from as little as $195,000, buyers are able to use

the unlocked equity from their family home to fund their retirement and do the things they’ve always wanted.

Real men getting off the couch REAL Men Move website has been launched to get Aussie men off the couch. Minister for Ageing in New South Wales John Ajaka MLC has joined forces with national industry body Exercise and Sports Science Australia to officially launch a national website aimed to get Australian men off the couch and doing more exercise. Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) chief executive officer Anita Hobson-Powell said the Real Men Move website had been created to inspire Australian men to increase their participation in physical activity and provide personalised exercise programs for men of all fitness levels. “The harsh reality is that the number of Aus-

tralian adult males who are sedentary has risen from 34 per cent in 2004-’05 to over 40 per cent today and 75 per cent of Australian males aged 25 and over are now overweight or obese,” Ms Hobson-Powell said. “We’re seeing a trend where physical activity levels tend to drop significantly once males reach 45, so the Real Men Move website will provide practical tips for motivating Australian men in this age group to take responsibility for their health and make some key lifestyle changes.” Ms Hobson-Powell said the website would also offer an ‘ask an expert’ section and resources for the partners and friends of inactive men to assist them in encouraging their loved ones to kick start an exercise regime. “Sometimes, all it takes is a push in the right direction and some encouragement from their family and friends for people to recognise the importance of getting fit and starting exercising,” Ms Hobson-Powell said. “It is after all the loved ones who end up being significantly impacted by the potentially lifechanging consequences of leading a sedentary life.” “Groups of men can also make use of the new website if they find the idea of exercising in a group setting more appealing, with plenty of tips and resources available for entire workplaces and organisations.” Ms Hobson-Powell said globally, men were 50 per cent more likely to die between the ages of 15 and 60 than women, and on average, women lived almost five years longer than men. “We know that coronary heart disease was the leading cause of death in males aged 25 and over in 2010 and that the most common chronic diseases among males aged 25 and over is currently cardiovascular disease.” “These statistics are very concerning and indicate that action needs to be taken now to minimise the risk of existing and future generations

be overcome, and we recommend that Australian men visit the Real Men Move website for more information, and also use this resource to get in touch with an accredited exercise physiologist who can create a custom exercise program to suit their needs,” Ms Hobson-Powell said.

On hearing aids AMPLIFY Hearing and Diagnostics is locally owned and independent and aims to provide a complete service for adults with hearing concerns. Being independent means they are not affiliated with any hearing aid manufacturers. “We also choose not to pay commissions to our clinicians. Instead, we pride ourselves on being a comprehensive diagnostic hearing aid and audiology clinic that provides the best service and best fittings possible, taking into consideration individual client’s needs, lifestyles and budgets,” says Emma, local owner and qualified audiometrist. “Buying a hearing aid can be a daunting prospect, so it is important to understand your rights as a consumer. We have put together a short list of

things to consider before making the decision to purchase a hearing aid.” Assessment - Have you had a full hearing assessment to rule out any medical conditions that may be impacting on your hearing? Pension status - If you are an eligible Pensioner or Veteran you are entitled to government subsidies, make sure these are outlined for you. Risk free trial- Make sure you get a trial period which allows you to return the hearing aids if you are not 100 per cent happy with them, even if you are on a Pension. Choice - Some retail outlets prefer to fit one brand of hearing aid. Obtaining advice from an independent clinic gives you the freedom to choose the best fit for you.

Comfort- Are you comfortable with your clinician. Hearing aid fittings can take some time to get completely right, so you may be seeing your clinician quite a few times. Ask questions - If you are uncertain ask. Your clinician should be able to answer all your hearing and hearing aid questions, and if not they should be able to source the answer for you in a timely manner.

Tilly shines a light on this small closed world where despite being a successful designer she is still the misfit kid that nobody wanted or liked and the town hierachy is still in place. Judy Davis as “Mad Molly” is a show-stopper stealing every scene she gets in a movie packed with well-known Australian faces from Liam Hemsworth, Hugo Weaving (as a cross-dressing policeman) to Shane Bourne, Barry Otto, Tracey

And although it sometimes takes a little suspension of disbelief to keep you in the story (the faded-colour flashback sequences feel a little oldhat and dated) there is plenty of twists and turns and glorious fashion to keep your eyes glued to the screen. - Tania Phillips

WE’VE seen it before, it’s a favourite of Australian storytellers - the prodigal son (or daughter) coming home and facing his/her demons - righting wrongs, reconnecting with family, changing attitudes in town and getting the boy (or girl). The Dressmaker has elements of this but for the most part it takes that well-worn plot-bunny and shoots it dead in a delicious sweep of humour, cartoonishness, drama and red silk. Revenge is a dish best served in haute couture and feather boas. This is not a tale of redemption, it’s a tale of karma, a little anarchy and a touch of revenge. It’s 1951 in south western New South Wales and a mysterious stranger sweeps into town in the dead of night on the bus from parts unknown and turns the small and closed-in town of Dungatar on it’s head. And that’s how we enter the world of The Dressmaker, the new film by Australian filmmaker Jocelyn Moore (Proof, How to Make an American Quilt). Dark and funny and almost cartoonish in parts, this is a film where the stranger to town doesn’t just bring a fresh pair of eyes and a fresh perspective. It’s 1951, and Tilly Dunnage (played with a

Amusing Grace FAMILY is important to Irish comedian Brendan Grace - both his own and others. Known as one of the greatest family comedians of his generation, Grace has proven that you can have a family show and still be very funny. Biding his time between Florida and Ireland, Brendan is just back from his son’s wedding in Florida and on the road again visiting Australia and headlining his own six date tour. With a career that has spanned 42 years he has quite a repertoire from his well-known character “Bottler’ through to his favourite parodies “Father of The Bride” and “Chinese Takeaway”. And with the wedding fresh in his mind - Father of the Bride is sure to be one of his favourites but expect the new show “An Audience With His Grace” to include plenty of new material too. Apart from his obvious 'star quality’ in all aspects of his perfor-

mance, Brendan’s drawing power is enormous and the 'House Full’ sign is the norm rather than the exception at his concerts. Born in the heart of Dublin in 1951, Grace was raised in the inner city Liberties neighbourhood. His father Seamus worked as a bartender, an ambulance man and other odd jobs to keep the family going. However, like many Dubliners of the time, Grace eventually left school at the age of 15 to begin working. His first job was as a messenger boy, an occupation he often refers to in his live act. At the age of 18, Grace formed a band known as “The Gingermen“and toured throughout Ireland. During a gig one night, the band found themselves two members short and in an attempt to calm an anxious crowd, Brendan was thrust upon the stage to humour them. His wit and razor sharp observations of daily life in Ireland immediately won over the crowd and since then he has been selling out venues around the globe. Brendan has shared stages

with many well known names such as Frank Sinatra who referred to Grace as “His man in Europe“ and John Denver, among many others. In 1976, he penned the number one hit “Combine Harvester“ which charted number one for both Grace and The Wurzels. The song was also later recorded by Foster and Allen. In 1995, Grace starred in “Moondance“ and the following year he appeared in the “Father Ted“ episode “New Jack City“ as Father Fintan Stack. In November 2009, he released his best-selling autobiography “Amuzing Grace“ which received critical acclaim. In 2007, he appeared as “Big Sean“ in “Killinaskully“ and in 2015 he starred in “The Gift“. An Audience With His Grace performs in six venues through Australia between 11 - 17 November 2015. Dates listed below. An Audience with His Grace ALBURY - The Cube - Saturday 14 November 2015, 8pm Bookings: (02) 6022 9311 or www.thecubewodonga.com.au

Online galaxy between clouds IN an exciting development for the Murray region’s HotHouse Theatre, Between the Clouds, a new, locally created and produced work by the company’s Studio Ensemble, will tour Sydney following its Butter Factory premiere season this week. The Sydney season, at the ATYP (Australian Theatre for Young People) Studio Theatre at The Wharf in Walsh Bay, marks a first for the Studio Ensemble, a collective of 10 young actors aged from 16 to 26 who auditioned early in 2015 and have been attending weekly training and rehearsals throughout the year, culminating in the HotHouse and ATYP seasons. Between the Clouds is a gritty new production by playwright Julia-Rose Lewis, win-

Playwright Julia-Rose Lewis.

ner of Belvoir’s 2014 Philip Parsons Fellowship for Emerging Writers. Directed by HotHouse’s associate director, Travis Dowling, it was inspired by real stories and experiences collected from around regional Australia. It explores the good, the bad and the ugly of the online world from the perspective of those living furthest away from our capital cities. It poses some fascinating questions about distance and whether the disconnect between country and city kids is still relevant when the whole world is connected to the internet. HotHouse Theatre’ s Studio Ensemble productions - Letters from the Border in 2014 and The Pyjama Girl in 2013 - have

been among its most successful in recent years. The Studio Ensemble plays a crucial role in fostering and nurturing local theatre talent, offering professional training and development to emerging artists across a range of skills and disciplines. The Sydney season of Between the Clouds will offer invaluable experience to the cast and crew of this new homegrown production.

Weekly Entertainment Television, movies, music and more... Hot US artists at Snowy Mountains festival FOLLOWING the triumphant return of country music to the Snowy Mountains earlier this year, Thredbo is excited to announce that the Snowy Mountains Country Music Festival will be back in 2016 with an unbelievable line-up of stars. Taking place on Saturday 5 March, the line-up for this festival is incredible and will be headlined by two of American Country music’s hottest artists, Kip Moore and Kelsea Ballerini performing their first Australian shows, alongside Aussie music legend Daryl Braithwaite and hot Australian country stars Morgan Evans, Amber Lawrence, Adam Eckersley Band, Deep Creek Road, The Weeping Willows and Little Georgia. Kip Moore is currently riding high with his brand new album “Wild Ones” that recently debuted at #2 on the US Country Albums Chart and #4 on the Billboard Top 200. Huffington Post hailed it as “one heck of an album ... set to produce hit after hit after hit” while The Guardian described it as “an impressively singular release from Music Row...unlike anything else in country music at the moment.” Well-known for his blistering live shows, Moore is currently touring the US where the list of advance sell-outs is stacking up including dates in Boston, Toronto and a twonight run in Chicago. Kelsea Ballerini’s “Love Me Like You Mean It“ debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Charts, making her the first female country artist to score a #1 hit with her debut single since Carrie Underwood in

Touted by many as “the new Taylor Swift” her follow up single, 'Dibs’ quickly became the #1 most added song on US Country radio upon its release. Recently announced as finalist for Favourite Female Country Artist at the American Music Awards and Female Vocalist and New Talent of The Year for The 49th Annual CMA Awards, Ballerini is currently headlining CMT’s inaugural “Next Women of Country” Tour throughout the USA. Daryl Braithwaite is one of the quintessential voices of Australian music whose glittering 40-year career has provided us with a slew of memorable hit singles and timeless gems. A consummate performer, Braithwaite continues to sell out shows around the country, thanks to songs such as “One Summer”, “As The Days Go By” and “The Hors-

es” plus charting topping hits from his days fronting Sherbet, such as “Summer Love” and “Howzat” that have become bonafide Aussie classics. The release of his chart-topping debut album in March 2014 saw Morgan Evans establish himself as Australia’s hottest new country performer. The recipient of a record three wins at the 2014 CMC Awards, Evans was recognised with a second consecutive Male Oz Artist of the Year award in 2015 along with the prestigious CMA Global Artist Award in the USA. His work as a presenter for Country Music Channel, has seen him nominated for an ASTRA Award and a TV Week Logie Award. Amber Lawrence kicked off 2015 in style by winning the Golden Guitar for ‘Female Artist of the Year’ award at Tamworth’s CMAA Awards and the Country Music Channel’s ‘Female Oz Artist of the Year’ Award. Since debuting in 2006, Amber has released 15 singles that have either reached #1 or Top 5 on the Country Music Radio Chart and the CMC Video charts. With the effortless cool of JJ Cale, the heart and soul of The Marshall Tucker Band, and the outlaw bite of Charlie Daniels, the Adam Eckersley Band stand shoulder-toshoulder with the tightest outfits in the business, from Zac Brown Band to Lynyrd Skynyrd. The winners of the 2015 APRA Award for Country Work Of The Year and the CMAA Award for Best New Artist AEB’s southern rock sound is sure to provide festival-goers plenty of excitement.

Weekly Real Estate Albury Wodonga’s Property Guide

Regional house prices upward trend

Invest, occupy, or develop THIS four-bedroom home is bigger than it seems and looks lovely inside. The interior was re-painted in 2013 and it’s also been renovated. Polished floorboards in the living area are complemented by timber venetians. A new gas heater has been installed, and for summer there’s refrigerated air-con and ceiling fans. All four bedrooms are carpeted - two have built-in robes. The reno-

vated kitchen has a rustic appeal and includes a new dishwasher and new gas cooker. The bathroom and laundry have each had a modern makeover, and there’s also a large linen cupboard. A paved area adjacent to the house is ideal for barbecues, while the huge backyard provides oodles of room for kids to play. The single garage is at the end of

a long driveway on which three cars could be parked. Being located at the cul-de-sac end of the street means there is no through traffic, and you’re only a few minutes away from the North Albury and Lavington shopping precincts, primary and secondary schools, parks, bus services, and the North Albury Sports Club. The home was leased at $260 per week until September 2015 and

could be leased again for an investor, or an owner-occupier could move in. Alternatively, a developer could take advantage of the large block and build units - subject to council approval. Either way, this property represents an excellent opportunity to expand your portfolio, to live with plenty of space around you, or to create a new development.

BARWON Heads on the Bellarine Peninsula is at the top of the list for house prices in regional Victoria, new REIV data shows. House prices in Barwon Heads reached a median of $777,000 in the three months to 30 September, up from $690,000 for the same period last year - a 12.6 per cent annual increase. The latest REIV data in the year to 30 September also shows capital growth was widespread, with many regional Victorian towns experiencing solid price increases and high median house prices. Barwon Heads was followed by the Geelong suburb of Newtown, where the median house price of $628,750 was the second highest for regional Victoria, up from $605,000 in September 2014. With a median house price of $627,500, Lake Wendouree in Ballarat was another town with a median price to rival its city counterparts. Meanwhile, the Surf Coast Shire continues to be a highly sought after location for buyers with Anglesea, Jan Juc and Torquay all making the list of most expensive towns with median house prices above $600,000. House prices in the municipality rose 5 per cent in the 12 months to 30 September to a median of $635,000, increasing from $605,000 for the same period last year. Gisborne ($587,500), Woodend ($587,500), Geelong ($577,500) and New Gisborne ($577.500) roundout the top 10 highest priced regional centres. New Gisborne and Gisborne, with annual median house price growth of 14.4 and 13.2 per cent respectively, have assisted in making the Macedon Ranges the second highest priced Victorian municipality. Solid median house prices were also recorded in the City of Greater Geelong, Murrindindi, Mount Alexander and Alpine municipalities. Mildura in the far north of the state experienced the highest turnover of houses sold in regional Victoria with 557 sales, followed by Traralgon (376 sales), Ocean Grove (261 sales), Warragul (261 sales), Wodonga (239 sales) and Highton (238 sales). The data shows the Moira Shire was the fastest growing regional area. The median house price there increased more than 20 per cent over the year to $247,500, up from $198,500 for the same period last year. Other municipalities recording doubledigit growth in the 12 months to 30 September include Horsham, South Gippsland, ColacOtway and Hepburn.

Local Sport Footy show stars to hit town By TANIA PHILLIPS THE stars of the AFL Footy Show are on their way to the Albury Entertainment Centre for one night only on Saturday 14 November. Billy Brownless, Garry Lyon, Sam Newman, Jonathan Brown and Damian Barrett are among the stars expected to make the journey north to do what they do best - bring a night of fun, footy and frivolity to the bush.

And according to AFL legend Billy Brownless it promises to be a night for a few beers and a bit of fun - a night to talk a bit of footy and a bit of nonsense. “That’s what we do best - talk nonsense,” he laughed. “We’ve been talking about doing this for oh, don’t know about 10 years now. Every time we go to the bush people say - hey we never see you or you’re on too late. “So we had this guy put it together for us because we’re not smart enough to do it ourselves.” The Albury show will be the first of three, with the boys also heading to Bendigo and Ballarat. The theatre-style show would feature Footy Show highlights, Billy’s Wheel and live discussions, giveaways and a question and answer session with the crowd. “We’re really looking forward to it, all the blokes got together last night and we had a bit of a chat about Albury - we can’t wait to do it!” Billy said. So what should the audience expect? “Expect the unexpected,” he laughed. “When you get blokes like Sam Newman on stage that’s all you can expect. So the unpredictable Mr Newman will be in fine form? “Sam’s just back from his holiday and all rested - he said he might even sing - we’ve asked him not to,” Billy said. “Gazza (Garry Lyons) likes to step up and run the show - so he’ll be telling us what to do and we’ll follow along. “We’ll have a bit of fun and a bit of fun with the crowd.” “It’s a pretty good panel of guys.”

Billy Brownless is on his way to Albury as part of footy's regional roadshow.
