Island in 2012. Last year, he walked from Emerald to Lakes Entrance, while also raising money for the Heart Foundation. Brett said the adventures could be as hard as they seemed.

“Physically it can be very draining, and you get really sore, but it’s the mental challenges that are the hardest,” he said.

“Sometimes you’ve just got to look at the next hill and just punch through.

“It can get a bit scary on the roads, too.

in total distance. With his father, Brett first attempted an epic walk at age 13.

Initially, they had been inspired by a documentary, which featured a man who walked from Adelaide to Darwin.

The duo attempted to walk from Avonsleigh to Rochester, but called it quits partway after difficulties with their backpacks.

Though in 2005, this time using a home-made trolley instead of backpacks, they walked from Avonsleigh to Rochester in just over eight days.

Brett’s feats have also included a 2014 trek, during which he walked a trolley from Avonsleigh to Bonnie Doon - as well as walking to Phillip

Most shoppers know how challenging it can be to push a trolley in a straight line. So imagine trying to achieve that over a 300-kilometre walk.

In an effort to raise funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Avonsleigh man Brett Pooles on 5 March will set out from his home to Echuca - with the help of a custommade trolley.

While the 26-year-old has achieved some incredible walking feats previously, this time the trolley will feature a fold-out kayak, because his adventure will include an 850km paddle down the Murray River to Mildura.

Brett told the ‘Mail’ he had been planning to take the journey in two years’ time, but the death of a close friend’s mother had stirred a change in plans.

“Her passing was very quick, so I said that this needed to happen straight away,” he said.

“Through this walk, I want to keep the conversations going about this tragedy.

“A lot of the time, we don’t talk about these things enough and this is my way of helping out a friend.”

The latest journey will be one of the more difficult adventures Brett has tackled, which is an estimated 1150km

Swimmers in the thousands

By Peter Douglas The Olinda outdoor pool is enjoying unprecedented visitation levels, as local swimmers continue to rush through the turnstiles. With six weeks still left during the summer open season, the 6000 mark is within reach, which would smash the previous best of 4310 that was set last year.

The pool officially reopened in late 2015 after undergoing significant repairs and refurbishment.

Much hype surrounded the reopening, but it appears the momentum has remained for summer 2016-’17. President of the Olinda Community Pool Association, James Edge, attributed some of the success to more enjoyable swimming conditions.

“The solar blankets we’ve been using have been highly effective, raising the pool temperature by about five degrees,” he said.

“This has resulted in a much more enjoyable experience for swimmers, so people are staying longer and using the pool more frequently.

“In the past, the pool has been known as a bit of an ice bath, we’re hoping to remove the perception the Olinda pool is too cold.”

Mr Edge said the statistics had exceeded expectations, with no sign of second-year blues hitting the pool.

“This is easily our most successful year,” he said.

“From 2003 to 2013, the average annual visitation was 2467.

“We’re now sitting on just over 5000.”

Mr Edge said there had been greater use among groups undertaking swimming lessons, including local schools and among the community.

In addition, there continues to be a great base of support from volunteers, local businesses, schools and Yarra Ranges Council.

In a boost for hopes the committee will continue on for next year, Mr Edge said the cost per attendance rate had dropped an incredible 60 per cent since taking over.

Their efforts are a far cry from only a few years ago, when the pool had been in danger of permanent closure after cracks up to 1cm wide had been discovered running down the pool floor.

Lilydale gym break-in: man gets arrested

Small car crushed by truck at Kallista Olinda police attended a threevehicle collision along Monbulk Road, Kallista, about 7.30am on Monday 13 February.

A large delivery truck and a small silver car collided, with the initial impact causing the truck to spin around and then collide, front-on with another vehicle.

The truck continued to spin, then crushed the black car against the embankment According to police, the delivery truck had been travelling towards Monbulk, while the black car had been travelling towards Kallista.

Ambulance Victoria attended and tended to the drivers.

The driver of the black car, a young female, was conveyed to The Angliss Hospital with minor injuries.

The driver of the silver car received treatment at the scene for minor cuts.

The driver of the truck was not injured.

Leading Senior Constable Tim Wall said he was amazed the driver of the black car was able to walk away relatively uninjured.

“The accident could have been more serious because it was raining and occurred on a very narrow, winding part of the road,” he said.

Police fined the truck driver for careless driving and crossing double-lines.

A Lilydale man will face court next month after being arrested for robbing a gym in town on Valentine’s Day. Police officers, posting on the Eyewatch - Yarra Ranges Police Service Area Facebook page, wrote that a 25-year-old man had been arrested after breaking into a gymnasium on Main Street, Lilydale, on the morning of Tuesday, 14 February.

The man is believed to have broken into the building, stealing drink bottles, merchandise and health food.

He was arrested a short distance away “after being seen on the roof of another premises”, the officers wrote.

The man has been remanded to face Ringwood Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 8 March.

Present for next door Ecologist Michael Smith Growing indigenous plants is always a great option.

In fact, the best reason to have indigenous plants in your backyard is they provide more than one benefit for the community.

So, how can this be?

Well, to survive in the unique local environments, local plants have formed crucial relationships with animals so their ovaries can be pollinated, and their seeds can be dispersed.

For example, Dianella species such as Blue Flax-lily and Pale Flax-lily rely on

buzz pollination for seeds to form.

Native bees such as the Blue-banded and Resin bees, unlike introduced Honey bees, are capable of buzzing their wings fast enough to dislodge their pollen.

These bees can then go around nearby properties and pollinate not only other flax-lily flowers, with the pollen they have gathered, but also tomato plants which similarly require buzz pollination.

Secondly, many plants produce juicy berries, with the aim of attracting birds and lizards to disperse the seeds inside.

Flax-lilies produce vibrant purple/ blue berries which native birds such as wax-eyes, wattle birds and a few native parrots like to feast on.

Once these birds are exploring a community, they can disperse native seeds, control insect numbers and help pollinate other native plants among neighbouring properties.

Another awesome feature of some na-

tive fruiting plants is they are palatable to humans.

The Aboriginal tribe from the Yarra region, the Wurundjeri people, took advantage of this relationship by regularly eating these berries.

Prickly current bush and Rubus (native raspberry) are two such examples and to this day are still eaten.

By planting local and native berry plants, you can be reminded of the first peoples who inhabited this land and share them with your neighbours.

To maintain the long-term health of an ecosystem, it is generally not good practice to add synthetic fertilisers to your soil.

Adding synthetic fertilisers to the soil profile provides a banquet ready-made for annual weeds.

As the weeds germinate, they can easily spread to nearby properties.

Thankfully, Native Australian plants

have evolved to prefer nutrient-poor soils and therefore are sensitive to artificial fertilisers.

One of the best features of indigenous plants is their ability to attract a host of colorful and fascinating insects.

Blue-banded bees, besides being excellent pollinators, have a wobbly flight pattern, which is great to watch.

They also have striking bright blue bands across their abdomen.

Another insect which lives in the region is the Grass-dart butterfly.

When resting, unusually, this butterfly holds one set of wings parallel while the other set is held vertical.

Once these local insects and birds are attracted to a food source they look in the near vicinity for other food sources and nesting spots.

As a result, your neighbours may happen to come across a cool animal in their backyard.

Kids get a March move-on For the seventh year running, Cardinia Shire Council is encouraging students to lace up their runners, hop on their bike or scooter and strap on their helmets to get to school during Mobile March.

Students can get active, have fun and win great prizes for their school.

The most active school in the shire will win the ‘Streets Ahead Cup’.

Each day, teachers at participating primary schools will tally the students who were active on the way to school.

Last year, 15 local schools registered with more than 5000 students getting involved.

Council’s Active Children’s Officer Kate Beveridge said getting to school in an active way was great for kids to get active and be social with family members or their peers.

“Walking, riding, scooting or skating to school gives students a chance to get their bodies moving and expending energy, which helps them to be more alert and attentive throughout the day.

“It’s a great way to get the recommended one hour per day of physical activity, rather than just jumping in the car, and in addition, students have that extra time to form bonds with their classmates and enjoy the fresh air,” Ms Beveridge said.

To register your school for Mobile March, contact council’s Active Children’s Officer on 1300 787 624 or email mail@cardinia.vic.gov.au.

Are you prepared for grassfire?

If you live in a rural area surrounded by grasslands or paddocks, you could be at risk of grassire. Travelling at speeds of up to 25kph, grassires can quickly threaten lives and property. Reduce your risk, slash or mow grass to create fuel breaks around your home, and avoid using machinery near grass on hot, dry, windy days. The reasons why are black and white.

Fears tree headed for a fall

By Peter Douglas Olinda resident Peter Bourne fears a nearby ‘problem tree’ could one day demolish two bedrooms of his house.

Despite Yarra Ranges Council deeming the tree safe in 2007, Mr Bourne says the tree, located on a council-owned nature strip, is a serious threat to his safety.

He claims branches fall into his driveway weekly, with damage to his car occurring during a recent windstorm.

Mr Bourne said he would like to see the removal of the top half of the tree.

“The main problem is that if a complete section of the main trunk is to come down, it will completely demolish two bedrooms of my house,” he said.

“In the meantime, branches between six to 10 metres are starting to fall below my driveway and into the next door driveway.

“Even the postman is anxious when delivering the mail daily.”

Mr Bourne said when council inspected the tree, a few branches were removed.

But he said further action is now required.

“I was ... told by the arborist that it was a hybrid and in future it will get worse regarding losing limbs,” he said.

“Well ... it has now reached the stage that every week branches are falling in my driveway and, during a storm, my house roof.

“My car has damage to both mudguards, bonnet and roof.”

Mr Bourne said the tree was also a danger to those who walk the footpath.

Yarra Ranges Council’s parks, environment and infrastructure services manager David Harper confirmed the tree had been inspected in 2007, but no

action was deemed required.

“The tree was in overall good condition,” he said.

“However, the tree has a large limb, which extends from the lower trunk and is trying to establish apical dominance (where the central stem of the plant grows more strongly than other side stems).

“Council inspected the tree from an aerial perspective and in particular the major limb union.”

He said the union was cleaned out, visually inspected, probed and hammer tested.

The result of which was that the limb union appeared sound at the time of inspection.

“A relatively small area of bark was missing on the upper surface and was consistent with cockatoo damage from a few years ago,” he said.

“No significant problems were identified with the tree and, as such, no works were recommended.”

Mr Harper said Yarra Ranges Council has inspected trees along that street previously, removing branches that obstructed vision.

“If residents have any concerns about trees on their nature strip, we encourage them to contact council, who will send a qualified arborist to inspect the tree,” he said.

“If branches have fallen from a nature strip tree, a member of council’s trees crew can also come to your property and remove them.”

Meanwhile, Mr Bourne’s statements come after a Mount Evelyn man recently lodged a compensation claim against Yarra Ranges Council over a 2013 incident in which a tree split and fell on his car.

In October 2013, the man, then aged in his fifties, had been driving past Richards Reserve along Leith

Resident Peter Bourne fears major damage at this property. 164964 Road, Montrose, when the incident occurred, trapping him inside his car for more than an hour.

According to Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, the man suffered a significant crush injury to his right arm, multiple fractures to his left wrist and thumb, as well as several broken ribs.

Maurice Blackburn Lawyers associate Melissa Knapic said the council had failed to provide any warning to those passing the reserve that the tree, which stood about 25m tall, posed a risk of collapsing.

The council’s risk emergency and community safety manager Brett Ellis said the council could not comment on the claim.

A free National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) forum in Monbulk is being held on Friday 24 February, in partnership with Yarra Ranges Council and Yooralla.

The forum, to be held at the Monbulk Living and Learning Centre, is open to anyone in the community interested in learning more about the NDIS. The event will focus on what the NDIS will mean for individuals and how people can begin to prepare and plan.

Yooralla’s NDIS experts will lead the forum, which is designed to provide relevant and up-to-date information.

Lilydale mother-of-five, Shannyn Gereg, said attending the session would be helpful for her to determine what services four of her children could access.

Three of her children are deemed to be living with a disability and one is without a diagnosis.

Her son, Ranen, 3, is going through early intervention, and is

currently attending a Yooralla support program.

“He is experiencing social anxiety, needs help with learning how to go to the toilet, social skills and speech,” she said.

Jett, 5, needs help with his speech, motor-skill issues, balance, and will be receiving surgery this year to improve his hearing.

“Jett, who has no diagnosis to date, can potentially access services from November 2017 through the NDIS,” she said.

“At the moment, we can access bulk billed services like occupational therapy, a psychologist, dietician and speech therapy.

“But we can only access five free services through our GP and this is a challenge when more than one child needs support.”

The forum will provide an opportunity to: Understand how the NDIS works; Learn more about planning and preparation for transition to the NDIS;

· ·

Lilydale mother-of-five Shannyn Gereg will be supporting the forum.

Pictured is Shannyn holding Eliana, with Ranen (yellow shirt) and Jett. 164934

· Ask questions about how the NDIS will impact you and your family; · Meet local services providers Meanwhile, Yooralla is also ask-

ing people to submit their questions on the NDIS before the forum.

A growing country practice Sixty years ago, Dr Spud McLeod Murphy set up practice in Emerald.

For many years, this remained a one-to-two doctor practice, even after Dr George Somers took it over.

Over the years, he developed it into the eight-doctor, four-nurse practice it is now, outgrowing the building in which it is housed.

Speakers for smashing time

By Peter Douglas Legendary Aussie rockers The Angels are aiming to again smash the speakers of local audiences.

Their latest 4x4 Across Australia tour will see the band hand-picking four of its most iconic records and playing - back-to-back - four hits from each record.

Guitar brothers Rick and John Brewster, vocalist Dave Gleeson and the crew will be hitting York on Lilydale in April and have promised to dig through their catalogue of classics, sourcing from more than four decades of material.

To help pump up hills audiences, lead guitarist Rick spoke to the Mail and told of the band’s love for live music.

He said there was an inexplicable bond when The Angels hit the stage, conceding the guitar kinship he shared with his brother was out of the ordinary.

“When we play guitar, it’s hard to explain, it’s an intuitive thing,” he said.

“I instinctively know where he’s going or I’ll lead him somewhere, we don’t have to say anything.

“It must be a family thing; it’s the same with Sam (Brewster, family member and drummer who replaced Chris Bailey).”

The Angels recently celebrated their 40th anniversary after they emerged during the Australian pub rock era of the early ’70s.

Rick said the band had never lost sight of its roots and still kept in touch with many of its contemporaries.

That’s no easy feat when they include names such as AC/DC and Midnight Oil. “That scene was amazing, everything was changing,” he said.

“Funnily enough, we didn’t see much of each other back then.

“I won’t say we had tunnel vision, but we were very focused on what we were doing.

Iconic band The Angels is heading for a show at Mount Evelyn.

“Midnight Oil used to support us and it was a case of we’d come off the stage, then they’d come on, we’d say a quick G’day and that was that.

“These days, with festivals such as A Day on the Green, we get a chance to

see each other and catch up.”

Pleasingly for the die-hard fans, Rick said The Angels hadn’t done much to alter their sound over the years.

“Although we don’t have the big amps like in the old days, the PA sys-

tems are so great that you can just plug in and play,” he said.

“Dave’s still sounding great, we’re still pretty tight.”

With a mix of new songs and classics such as Am I Ever Gonna See Your

Face Again, this is one show not to miss.

The Angels will play York on Lilydale at Mount Evelyn on Friday 7 April.

For more details, visit www.yorkonlilydale.com.au or www.moshtix. com.au or contact 1300 438 849.

Not a day goes by for Rick A streetcar To celebrate the upcoming performance of legendary Australian performer Rick Price, the ‘Mail’ - in conjunction with Sooki Lounge - is offering a sensational giveaway.

You could win one of five double-passes to see the local show.

For your chance to win, simply email your details to win@mailnewsgroup.com. au.

The singer-songwriter has walked the journey of which many musicians dream.

In the ‘90s, very few radio stations would go one day without a Rick Price song on high rotation, with a selection of his broad repertoire from eight albums.

Price has been nominated for, and received, numerous music industry awards, including the prestigious APRA Song of the Year award for his song ‘Heaven Knows’ and the Export Music Australia award for his outstanding achievement abroad.

Smash hits, ‘Heaven

Rick Price will play a selection of classics and new songs. 165093 Knows’, ‘Not a Day Goes By’, ‘Walk Away Renee’ and ‘River of Love’ have propelled Rick onto the international stages and tours with Tommy Emmanuel throughout the US and Europe.

Now, Price is proud to announce his ‘Work that Fire’

Australia tour for this month and next.

‘Work that Fire’ was released on 10 February, along with the next single from Price’s latest album, ‘Tennessee Sky’.

This track was the inspira-

tion from the album.

Price said he is enormously proud of his latest offering. “‘Work that Fire’ is the flagship song from my ‘Tennessee Sky’ album,” he said.

“A theme of unity and solidarity.

“A metaphor for transformation to the higher ground, where we can do together what we cannot do alone.”

Price wrote and produced ‘Work that Fire’ in Nashville, Tennessee, and has received some incredibly positive reviews.

Audiences will be taken on a musical journey at Price’s live shows, dancing in the aisles and joining him on stage for a sing-along, where there will be smiles all around the room with his upbeat set.

The classics are still there, along with tracks from his latest album.

Price will perform on Friday 3 March at Sooki Lounge, Belgrave.

named misogyny Fifty Shades Darker (MA15+) Starring: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan Fifty Shades Darker feels like last month’s Passengers: a somewhat decent film poisoned by some extremely disquieting gender politics.

For what it’s worth, Fifty Shades Darker is considerably better than the previous film, Fifty Shades Of Grey.

Darker has sumptuous cinematography, some endearingly human moments, hot and artfullyshot sex scenes, and Anastasia (Dakota Johnson) and Christian (Jamie Dornan) have better chemistry this time round.

But all the stylishness in the world cannot detract from how toxic the core relationship is.

Christian continues to act in a very possessive and controlling manner toward Anastasia, intruding upon her personal and professional lives. The (admittedly fun and steamy) sex scenes are effec-

tively used as placating justification for Christian’s treatment of her.

I’m reminded of Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire, in which long-suffering wife Stella Kowalski thinks that her husband Stanley’s sexual irresistibility excuses his inexcusable acts of domestic abuse.

The big difference is that A Streetcar Named Desire fully acknowledges Stanley as a disgusing wife-beating rapist. But Darker neither commits to or fully expunges the darkness in Christian’s character.

As such, the tender bonding and marriage proposal feel unearned after all the controlling behaviour and subtle emotional abuse.

The film is also slow and tedious, almost devoid of any lasting conflict.

It’s frankly disturbing how misogynistic Fifty Shades Darker ended up being.

- Seth Lukas Hynes

A not-so family film

Letters Vicious cycle In relation to the article, ‘Brakes on The Ascent’ (‘Mail’, 14 February).

A great sigh of relief is being expressed at the news of the cancellation of the 2017 The Ascent bike ride.

Last year’s road closures caused great inconvenience to local residents during their usual Saturday activities and clashed with the annual artists’ open house event.

More concerning was the detrimental effect on local traders, which depend upon weekend visitors who arrive in this area by car or bus.

It was a poorly communicated and disruptive event that illustrated the highly disproportionate concessions made by both the State Government and local council to cyclists in the face of the concerns of ratepayers, traders and residents.

Local residents and visitors already face daily challenges of cyclists in dark outfits with inadequate or complete lack of safety lights, and cyclists riding two or more abreast, not to mention obscene language and gestures.

Bike riding and, in particular, riding in groups should be generally discouraged on our winding narrow roads with dark overhang, poor visibility and high tourist car traffic.

Major cycling events should be held only in high visibility areas with numerous road alternatives for local residents, and in areas where local traders would not be adversely affected by road closures.

The Bicycle Network’s anticipated “sense of community, fun and support” should be discovered elsewhere in a safer environment.

This amateur Dandenong Ranges “Le Tour” concept must be nipped in the bud.

Margaret Gibson, Ferny Creek.

By Peter Douglas Hills audiences are in for a rare treat, with a second helping on offer for the hugely popular documentary, ‘The Family’.

After the success of last year’s MIFF Travelling Showcase screening, the film returns to the Cameo for another special Question and Answer session about the making of the documentary with director Rosie Jones.

The feature-length film focuses on the sect known as The Family, which operated mostly out of the Lake Eildon area and from a house on Belgrave-Ferny Creek Road throughout the ’60s and ’70s.

Run by the charismatic Anne Hamilton-Byrne, the apocalyptic sect, to a large degree, was shut down after a police raid in the mid ’80s.

The documentary features some of the victims of the sect who were either born into the sect through members, or acquired through what were believed to be adoption scams.

The children were isolated from the outside world and dressed identically.

The documentary says the children were also subjected to numerous abuses, including being beaten, starved and injected with the drug LSD. The Friday session has been sold out already, so organisers have added another Question and Answer screening for Sunday 26 February.

Book quickly.

Tickets available at www. cameocinemas.com.au.

Brown stars for the Blues

By Steve Brown FTGDCA In Ferntree Gully District Cricket Association action, the completion of Round 11 of the Norm Reeves Shield saw some interesting results, as the top four is almost set in stone.

Ferntree Gully were always in control at Argyle Way, chasing 216 set by Knox Gardens, despite the ground being top-dressed with sand mid-week.

The Gully has found their feet a little too late in the season, despite some injuries to key players.

A patient 91 from Harrison Brown, who has found his place at the top of the batting-order, combined with super-talented Bryce Galvin helped the Blues to a six-wicket win over the Falcons.

Big-hitting Galvin decided that if the ball struggled to reach the boundary along the ground, then he would go over the top and his brief innings of 85 from just 49 balls took the game away from the opposition.

Brown was last man out after facing

almost 200 balls at the crease.

Mountain Gate produced their best game of the season at the expense of The Basin.

The Bears set the Gators 270 and had one eye on the top four with Upwey-Tecoma leaving the door open.

However, Mountain Gate was having none of that.

A remarkable unbeaten century

by Clint Buckland and a 53-run ninth partnership with Anthony Davis held the Gators together winning by three runs and dissolved any chance of the Bears challenging for the premiership.

It was a hard day at the office for Scott Vozzo who took 3/87 from 22 overs on his 40th birthday.

At Upwey, runs were as rare as hen’s teeth where Eildon Park (102) defeated Upwey Tecoma by 10 runs, despite a brilliant performance from Feaver Medal favourite Cameron Wheeler.

‘Hot Wheels’ collected his best figures with the ball capturing 8/49 from 24 overs.

Both teams were searching for batting coaches after Upwey went to the crease a second time but managed only 9/125 before stumps were called.

Flag favourite’s the Knoxfield Knights held all the aces at Carrington Park and defended 331 against Belgrave.

Jake Balfour was the only highlight of day two with 69 as the Magpies finished with 7/210.

Upper Ferntree Gully (4/266) secured first innings points on day one over bottom side Monbulk (95); and once Josh Dowling reach his century, skipper Peter Dunlop invited Monbulk to bat again.

Unfortunately, the Hawks were unable to combat leg spinner Robbie Burnie (6/27) and they were spun out for 110 giving the Kings maximum points and a possible home final.

It’s difficult to select a favourite for the premiership in Decoite Shield with all top four contenders a genuine chance.

Johnson Park (226) blew a century opening stand going down to Lyster-

Juniors keeping the dream alive MONBULK CRICKET Monbulk’s four junior competitive teams all had great wins on the weekend.

With two matches to go, all four teams are now a chance to play finals.

A maiden century to Jim Fenby (100no) in the fourths was also a highlight, along with wins to the thirds and fifths.

On Wednesday 22 February, the club is hosting a 'Junior Melbourne Stars Clinic’ at the main ground, 5.30pm to 7pm, for all juniors, and includes giveaways, barbecue and group photo.

Next weekend is the last home and away game for our five senior teams.

The thirds, fourths and fifths are all a finals chance.

It is also 'Ladies/Pink Stumps Day’ next Saturday, 25 February, 2pm - 5pm in the Logcabin.

This is a fundraiser for breast cancer.

Go to Facebook page ’We’re Here For The Boobs’, for more information and to donate your bras.

All Monbulk Cricket Club girls, family and friends are welcome.

Next Friday 24 February at 5.30pm is also the last Milo in2Cricket session for the season Trophy Night.

Well done to all the kids involved this season.

Looking forward to seeing many of them join our junior teams in the coming years.

Many thanks to Dave and Di Daly for co-ordinating Friday nights, along with the many other helpers that continued to make our Milo program and Friday nights a success at Monbulk.

Medals ’n’ fitness fun

By Jamie Strudley The weather tried its best to disrupt Yarra Ranges Athletics club athletes at the Eastern Metro Region (EMR) Track and Field Championships, held at the Knox Athletic Club over the weekend.

Two days of heats, finals, laughter and tears, but an overwhelming sense of fun and enjoyment capped a great weekend of athletics.

Great to see athletes timing their fitness and preparation well to record many personal bests during the competition.

Proof that championships are not all about medals, much of the fun is supporting club members and doing your best, medals become the ‘icing on the cake’.

Athletes represented Yarra Ranges Athletics with too many PBs to count and a few medals.

The most outstanding effort was in the Under 11s Girls 800m where Kiara Flavel recorded a Victorian Best Performance of 2.23.13s.

Results are available at alvic.com.au or on our club website.

How good was Nitro Athletics.

Now it is your turn to try those events.

Yarra Ranges Athletics is hosting a fun team event on 18 March called Boost: Athletics - Fast. Teams are limited, so enter now.
