Imagine young Tilly’s surprise! Tilly, from Mount Evelyn happened across the Easter bunny taking a well-earned tea-break among the autumn leaves in Healesville recently. Seems it’s his favourite place for a bit of pre-Easter planning ahead of his busiest day of the year.

WARBURTON HIGHWAY IN YARRA JUNCTION.
The Easter weekend is fast approaching, and many people will hit the open roads to experience quality time with family and friends. However, this can also be a dangerous time of the year, with the overall road toll in 2016 increasing by 8 per cent throughout Australia and, worryingly, road deaths in the 17 to 25 years age group escalating 17 per cent. People make longer journeys than usual at this time of the year, and traffic numbers significantly increase on major roads. Driving without distraction is the key to arriving and returning safely from those holidays. So far in 2017, 63 lives have
been lost on Victorian roads. That figure is down 20.3 per cent in the previous year. Though, Victoria Police will no doubt be looking for a better display from drivers than last year, where more than 6000 offences were detected state-wide during a five-day campaign. Police recorded 700 unlicensed, disqualified or suspended drivers on the roads. Also, 330 people were caught speeding, 1089 were stopped while driving unregistered cars, 314 were spotted using mobile phones while at the wheel, and 301 were caught not wearing seatbelts. Police said driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol was rife, with 280 people testing positive for drugs.
Meanwhile, Driver Reviver locations operate throughout the year during major public holiday long weekends. The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) advises if you’re already behind the wheel when you start to feel drowsy, the best remedy is to pull-over and have a 15-minute powernap. So, find a Driver Reviver Pit Stop, take a break, have a cuppa and take 40 winks if you need them. This Easter, remember to be courteous and flexible while sharing the road with others. Allow for increased time for the journey, and scheduling frequent breaks can help drivers to stay safe during these highpressure periods.

Firies shaking it up for the kids By Kath Gannaway For as long as most CFA volunteers can remember, collecting for the kids on Good Friday has been as much a part of their year as bushfires and road crashes. Certainly in the 40 years that Healesville CFA captain Graeme Bates has been a firey, rattling tins for the Royal Children’s Hospital, sounding the siren as they drive around the streets and collecting down the main street, the Good Friday Appeal has been a great part of the work they do in the community. Every year since 1932, the appeal has set records with the amount raised in 2016 an astounding $17,445,624.38. The CFA’s contribution through the many brigades that take part and the communities that support them, is a big part of that, and no doubt the RCH will be hoping for another record breaking year. If the volunteers who give their time on Good Friday needed any more inspiration than the fact that the Royal Children’s Hospital is an esteemed institution caring for kids from around Australia, and overseas, it is reinforced by the people they meet as they rattle the tins, and in their various CFA roles. “Every year, we meet people from our area who comment that they have had their kids or their grandkids in the hospital and they want to talk about that and tell you how good the hospital is,” Captain Bates said. “You go to fires and see kids involved, and you see them involved in accidents as well. “Firies always have a soft spot in their hearts for kids. “We do it for the kids ... we all do it for the kids,” he said. But they don’t do it alone. When you hear the siren, or see your local CFA volunteer in your street, or town, dig deep.
CFA volunteers across Yarra Ranges, including Healesville’s Robyn Argent, Wayne Morgan and Tony Sheaffe, will rattle tins for the Royal Picture: KATH GANNAWAY Children’s Good Friday Appeal. 167096

Bakery spreading its wings Inside, the bakery has a friendly and relaxing vibe. It boasts an open-seating plan, plenty of tables, a play area for kids and couches for the travel-weary. Kylie says the bakery sells a great range of products, including the classics that have made it so renowned in the area. “We sell various pies, our famous bee stings and vanilla slice,” she said. “We also have an established range of gluten-free products. “We have something for all ages. “For the kids, we have zoomers and shortbread biscuits.” The bakery offers all-day breakfast, lunch, early dinner, vegetarian delights and catering for groups of all sizes. Perhaps, it is the homemade touch that makes the pies so good, with pies proudly made by Beechworth Bakery employees. Among its many specialties is the bee sting - a sweet bun lightly spread with apricot jam, filed with the creamiest custard and topped with toffee almonds. It has proved a must-try for the many visitors to the region, who have flagged the bakery as a good stopping point as they make their way to Eildon or the alpine area, or as they tour wine regions.

Best Easter egg hunt ever for Jackson and Charlie - they found the Easter bunny’s cousin, Picture: Victoria Stone-Meadows. Lady Rugsbun ... and eggs! 167119
Easter’s here and the hunt is on By Derek Schlennstedt Easter, the word brings back fond childhood memories of foraging through bushes and undergrowth searching for those delicious little confectionery chocolate eggs. And while the best place for an Easter egg hunt is still at home, there are plenty of places in the Yarra Valley that offer kids the chance to have an Easter egg hunt. Yarra Valley Chocolaterie is there any other place you’d rather be for Easter. Surrounded by hand-crafted chocolate, and of course offering their yearly Easter egg hunt, the Chocolaterie is perfect for parents seeking an Easter getaway in the Yarra Valley. With over 10,000 Easter eggs to give away there will be plenty of eggs to go around. The Easter egg hunts will take place four times a day on Good Friday, Saturday and Easter Sunday at noon, 2pm and 4pm. No bookings are required and kids aged 12 and under can
search through the picturesque grounds of the Chocolaterie where Easter bunnies will help them look for golden tokens that let them claim their complimentary Easter eggs. There’s still quite a bit to do for grown-ups and for chocolate lovers of all ages and the Chocolaterie showroom will be chock-full with thousands of Easter-inspired chocolate creations handcrafted by their European chocolatiers. Easter and chocolate go hand in hand, but finding a good location to go on the hunt for eggs is just as important, and what better location to search for eggs than in the lavender fields at Warratina. Warratina Lavender farm is having an Easter egg hunt on the 15 and 16 April. A delight for all the senses adults can enjoy the tranquil surroundings and breathe in the fragrances of lavender while children search for Easter eggs. Participants need to register at the lavender cottage tea room to receive their entry stamps
and all participants will receive different size eggs for the coloured tokens they collect. Searching for Easter eggs is definitely hard work, it requires not only fastidious searching but also your full attention to detail. This hard work requires a big breakfast and what better option for breakfast than some delicious hot cross buns at Oakridge wines. Oakridge Wines invites people to come and enjoy a delicious Easter breakfast Sunday 16 April. A bake sale from 9am to 11am means you can kickstart your day with delicious baked goods including Jo’s famous hot cross buns. With a petting zoo, Easter egg hunt, face painting and bake sale there’s plenty of activities for the entire family to enjoy. From warm hot cross bun breakfasts to early Easter eggs hunts, the Yarra Valley offers an opportunity for families to embrace Easter in all its aspects.

Labor Upper House Member for Northern Victoria, Jaclyn Symes, said the upgrade to which the State Government had contributed $500,000 would mean better access to vital community health services for Yarra Ranges residents. “We know what a wonderful job the hardworking staff here at EACH do helping the community, and now they have the first-class facilities to match,” Ms Symes said.

Yarra Junction’s Purple Church has entered a new era with the official opening of EACH Social and Community Health Yarra Junction. The expanded and updated building was reopened on Tuesday, 5 April, 2017, by EACH CEO Peter Ruzyla. He was joined for the cutting of the ribbon by EACH director of Infrastructure Lesley Tarves, architect Frank Cruze and landscape designer Alison Watson. Mr Ruzyla said the redevelopment which took the site from 260sqm to 420sqm provided a centre that had deep roots in the local community. The centre will house programs and services including mental health recovery, financial and family relationship counselling, disability employment, gamblers support, early childhood intervention and drug and alcohol support. Built in Warburton in the late 1800s, the building has been part of the Yarra Junction streetscape since it was moved ‘down the line’ around 1900 to provide a place of worship for the Uniting Church congregation. In the late 1980s, it relinquished its religious role and became a centre for community health activities, including services by Eastern Health and Anglicare. The facility has maintained its spirit and integrity, firstly through the retention of the colour purple, but also through the refurbishment of features such as the beautiful stained glass windows and timber floors. Participants and visitors are greeted with a series of mosaic artworks depicting the mountains of the valley. The colourful ‘skies’ represent the diversity of people and their experiences in their journey of recovery. The nine-month-long project was facilitated by EACH Mental Health Support workers based at Yarra Junction working with six consumers who

Some 27,000 kilos of fresh apples were picked by 100 volunteers during the day for distribution via the program. Federal Member for La Trobe Jason Wood assisted. 166994

Helpful harvest By Derek Schlennstedt Hills-based Montague Fresh has vowed to aid under-privileged Australians this autumn by donating one million jazz apples to national food rescue organisation, SecondBite. On Monday 3 March Montague's held a special harvest event in Launching Place where farmers and stakeholders assisted in harvesting the special supply of 1AJazz apples. Together volunteers, farmers, locals and stakeholders harvested 27,000 kilograms of apples from 10am until 3pm. In a bid to reduce the statistics of 731,300 children under the age of 15 living below the poverty line, Montague’s will also be donating 10c per kilogram of jazz apples purchased from Coles Supermarkets between 17 and 24 April to SecondBite. A spokesperson for Montague,
Alexis Lalios said there was a great turnout of pickers and altogether over 100 people were able to pick around 27,000kgs worth of apples. “The idea was to just invite stakeholders, locals MPs and councillors to live a life in a grower’s shoes, and see what it’s like to harvest the jazz apples.” “Over 27,000 kilograms were picked from only 100 volunteers, which is an amazing effort,” she said. Montague's will supply one million apples to SecondBite who will then redistribute these to third party community groups across Australia, such as the Salvation Army, Uniting Care and under-privileged primary schools. Montague director and third-generation family member Scott Montague said it was a delight to be working with SecondBite in being able to give back to communities that need it most. “As a family company, Montague's is delighted to be part of this effort
with SecondBite, providing apples for a valuable program that gives back to the communities in need”, Mr Montague said. SecondBite exists to provide access to fresh, nutritious food for people in need across Australia and to date, has redistributed 32,359,427 kilograms of food across Australia, equating to over 64,000,000 meals. Not much is more nutritious than apples and Montague’s will donate the largest amount of apples they have ever donated since 1948. Invtied to the event was Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford, Yarra Ranges Mayor Noel Cliff and Federal La Trobe MP, Jason Wood who also assisted in picking. The 27,000 kilograms of jazz apples that were picked at Launching Place were used for an evening dinner that night at the Foothills Community Centre held at the Upwey Baptist
Yarra Ranges mayor Noel Cliff attended the harvest dinner at Foothills Community Centre, along with the other volunteers. 166994 Community Church, where the freshly harvested jazz apples were served to those in need. Mayor Noel Cliff attended the dinner and credited Montague’s as being second to none when caring about the community. “It went really well, there were at
least 150 people and there was a smorgasbord of food for people to choose from.” “Montague’s really are second to none they do so much for the community and really care about looking after those who have fallen on bad times,” Mr Cliff said.

Ride for the needy By Derek Schlennstedt LinC Yarra Valley, a not-for-profit network of local churches that assists disadvantaged locals with transport, emergency relief and referrals, is in dire need of volunteer drivers. The network of churches is having trouble keeping up with transporting clients who are often elderly, disadvantaged or disabled and are unable to drive themselves to medical appointments and other engagements. LinC is encouraging local residents who live along the Warburton Valley highway, and may have some time up their sleeve to become involved in the program that offers flexible driving times to suit the driver’s availability. Julie Szabo, program co-ordinator at LinC Yarra Valley said it was about helping those in the community that could not travel, and says everyone is welcome to apply. “We realised that disadvantaged people in the area couldn’t get where they need to go, so this helps people who may be going through a crisis, are in aged care, or who are disadvantaged by giving them access to travel,� she said. “It’s really up to the driver to choose when they’re available to help; all you need is a reliable car with fully comprehensive insurance.� Drivers get to use their own cars and are reimbursed for running costs and petrol. LinC Yarra Valley is a network of 15 churches and community volun-

The program is aimed at improving transportation facilities for people who are unable to drive themselves, with the Upper Yarra Valley being a location that makes it exceptionally hard
for disadvantaged residents who need to travel into the city. Brad Roach, a 67-year-old Yarra Junction resident who suffers from multiple sclerosis often requires transport to The Alfred hospital in the city and says that without the program he
would be housebound. “It helps immensely, if it weren’t for that program I would be housebound, I would be confined to Yarra Junction.� “I really don’t know what I’d do without it; if I didn’t have that service

The Inner Wheel Club of Wandin’s Annual Fashion Parade is on again at the Wandin Hall on Friday night, 28 April. Affiliated with the Rotary Club of Wandin, The Inner Wheel Club ladies enlist the help of Jenny’s Shoppe in Monbulk each year to present a spectacular and professional fashion parade of clothing from size 8 through to 20 in sportswear, day and evening wear. Models, Maree Budweg and Nola Sharp had a pre-parade look over the outfits last week along with Shirlene Bisschop, owner of Jenny’s and Master of Ceremony for the event. Nola, president of Inner Wheel,
said people were in for a fashion treat with a great range of beautiful outfits presented on a traditional catwalk. There will be raffles and prizes on the night, along with a sumptuous supper. “This parade has become an institution for many women who look forward to a night of fashion fun for a great cause,� Nola said. “The really excellent thing about this is that every cent raised goes to Cord Blood Research. “We get very excited about passing on the money that the Wandin and surrounding communities make possible by supporting us so well.� Tickets are $15 and include supper. To book tickets or find out more about the Inner Wheel Club of Wandin, phone Lorena on 0427 031 007or email iiw.au.wandin@gmail. com

Two males, one from Traralgon and the other from Wagga Wagga died on the weekend after the 4WD they were travelling in rolled and crashed into a tree along Symes Road. The car with five people inside was travelling along Symes Road on Sunday 9 April when the car veered off near Dalry Road at 2.30pm. Two passengers sitting in the back of the vehicle died at the scene, and a third woman, seated on the rear right hand seat was flown to The Alfred hospital in a critical condition. The driver and front seat passenger were taken to Maroondah Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. A teenage boy was also taken to hospital for further examination. Hillcrest CFA attended the crash and Hillcrest CFA Captain Fiona Burns commended two local men who rendered assistance until emergency services arrived. “I commend them for what they did under such very trying circumstances,“ Captain Burns said. “They did an absolutely fantastic job.� Victoria’s road toll stands at 67 compared to 80 lives lost at the same time last year. Anyone who witnessed the crash is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

my life and a lot of other people’s lives who rely on it would change dramatically,� Mr Roach said. Brad says often when they don’t have enough volunteer drivers he has had to use taxis to get to and from Boxhill, but it is very expensive and he enjoys the experience and familiarity of the volunteer drivers more. “A lot of the people who do drive are local people, so you have that in common and its good because you don’t just sit there, you talk about anything and everything,� he said. “The whole service, from the time you ring up to the time the transport comes around is fantastic and the people are all extremely nice,� he said.

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian 10 April, 1937 In Case You Didn’t Know Completion of the road from Marysville to Lake Mountain, a distance of 10 miles, was sought by a deputation from the district which waited on the Minister of Public Works on Wednesday. Cr Barton said the mountain was within easy reach of the city being only a two-hours motor run. The Railway Department was in favour of the resort, considering that if snow sports become more popular Mount Buffalo and Mount Hotham would benefit. Lake Mountain had deep snow from early in May until late September. At the Grand Hotel Yarra Glen on Friday 25 April, Messrs Macarthur and McLeod in conjunction with Messrs Sydney H. Bradshaw will sell an excellent grazing and cultivation property of 95 acres on the Upper Healesville road about 2-1/2 miles north east of Yarra Glen. The property is well watered by Dixon’s Creek and adjoins the properties of Messrs Morgan and Williamson. It is cleared of undergrowth and bears good soil ideal for sowing and top dressing.

Yarra Valley Guardian Mail April 12, 1995 A Housewarming CFA Style Warburton and Yarra Junction CFA volunteers attended a training program with a difference on Sunday 2 April. The weatherboard house in La La Avenue was burned to the ground to make way for a new house. The old house owned by Glenn Harrison was the birth place of Glenn’s father Ray, and Ray’s brother, Ron. The house was destroyed under a special permit and provided valuable lessons for the volunteers. Local Leaps Ahead In an era of higher education over experience, the odds are stacked against a sales assistant making store manager, especially of a national franchise. But local Tim Meyers has beaten the odds. Tim joined Warburton Mitre 10 when the store opened nearly four years ago. Ahead of hundreds of applicants Tim started as a casual sales assistant. Before long Tim was employed full-time. When the Store Manager position became vacant, given his effort and experience Tim was the prime candidate. - Contributed by Ellena Biggs

Preschool funds fear By Kath Gannaway

Church blows 90 candles By Kath Gannaway Powelltown Union Church celebrated 90 years of non-denominational worship on Sunday, 9 April. In the first two historic April events - the Powelltown Hall will celebrate its centenary later this month - local parishioners and visitors filed into the church for the special service. The church was built in 1927 and has high local significance as one of the few Union churches remaining in Victoria. Among Sunday’s congregation were members of the hardworking team of the Powelltown Public Hall and Union Church Committee who have worked on restoring both the church and the hall over the past few years. The church has had extensive internal restoration as well as a new kitchen and roof, and committee member Dawn Adams said the thanksgiving service paid tribute to
the many people who generously donated to funding the church and restoring it. Mrs Adams said more than 80 people attended, some coming long distances just to be there to celebrate the milestone. Lay preacher Henk Boer who has officiated at services in the church for more than 60 years, led the service. He said there was still a very strong connection passed on from the faith of the early believers. “I feel the foundations laid in in 1927 when Christians first gathered in Powelltown have continued in spite of fact that no regular service has been held since 2000,” he said. The hall rang out with beautiful music provided by musicians from the Frankston Forest Baptist Church, and in the spirit of the history of communal contribution everyone took along a plate for a celebratory morning tea.
Congratulations on the 90th Anniversary. 167084 The Powelltown Hall will mark its centenary with a weekend of celebrations on 29 and 30 April. For further information, phone Mrs Adams on 5966 7431.
The recurring battle to maintain 15 hours of preschool for four-year-olds is on Yarra Ranges Council’s agenda once again. In a repeat of the 2015 campaign, Yarra Ranges Council, at its meeting on Tuesday, 28 April, called on the Federal Government to firmly commit to five hours of funding in its May budget. The State Government funds preschool operational costs of 10 hours, and the Commonwealth funds the additional five hours. The council was part of a campaign in 2015 that resulted, after months of uncertainty, in a last-minute announcement that Federal Government funding would continue to 17 December, 2017. Council currently funds more than $350,000 annually to maintain its 41 preschool facilities, providing direct service support to the 69 centres, offering 15 hours of preschool to 1861 children across the municipality. Yarra Ranges Mayor Noel Cliff said that, without that money, preschools would have to reduce their curriculum or charge parents significantly higher fees to maintain services. Fees and fund-raising provide a further 35 per cent to help meet the government shortfall. The State Government has said schools and pre-schools remained in the dark as to federal funding. Minister for Families and Children Jenny Mikakos accused the Federal Government of committing only to ‘further discussions” at a time when the
states are “crying out for action”. “If Turnbull doesn’t come up with a new agreement for 15 hours of kinder, Victorian parents could pay an extra $2000 a year for alternative childcare arrangements and hundreds of kinder staff could be out of a job,” Ms Mikakos said. A spokesperson for Ms Mikakos told the Mail last week that the State Government is committed to ongoing funding based on the number of children. The Federal Government, however, says future preschool funding arrangements are a matter for all government, maintaining that federal funding has only ever been a ‘top up’ to increase participation. Minister for Education and Training, Simon Birmingham, labelled the latest campaign a Labor Party scare campaign “based on mistruths about pre-school, school and higher education funding". “Parents and providers should ignore these scare campaigns as we are committed to working through these issues with the states and territories, Sen Birmingham said. YRC Mayor Noel Cliff said research clearly showed that children who attended preschool did better throughout school and had better life outcomes, and urged parents to contact their local federal MPs, Tony Smith and Jason Wood, and Senator Birmingham, to urge them to recommit to ongoing funding. A petition, authorised by J. Mikakos, urging the Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to renew the National Partnership Agreement and commit to kindergarten funding is available at http://thismatters.org.au/kindercuts .

Maturing body of work By Jesse Graham They’re often stereotyped, marginalised or ignored, but young men on the journey to adulthood are the focus of a Warburton photographer’s latest project. Seen and Heard - Boy to Man is a project being run by Warburton’s Kate Baker, documenting the faces of Yarra Junction and Mount Evelyn’s young men at CIRE Services. Ms Baker said the project was inspired by a 2006-2008 portrait series of hers, featuring photos of homeless and disadvantaged young people at a refuge in Sydney, which was published in the book Fridays at Oasis. “What was really significant for me about that project was I didn’t anticipate, I didn’t realise at the time the power of portraiture, in the sense of that impact it could have on someone’s life,” she said. Despite only having brief, half-hour interactions with the subjects as they were photographed with her large-format film camera, some of the subjects have been making contact with her even 10 years on. Though Ms Baker has worked in creative arts and photography since the Oasis series, she said she wanted another project “that might have more of a social impact”. “It’s a big issue that remains globally, around young men in that transition phase between boyhood and manhood; issues of teenage depression, suicide, homelessness, a sense of alienation, radicalisation of youth and also the notion of what it is to be a man,” she said. “Masculinity has really changed - it’s only one or two generations since women have had a completely different role ... men used to get their validation through being a breadwinner, and now it’s really different. It’s not male versus female anymore, it’s a completely different model.” The project, she said, is about documenting men aged 15-19 in that transi-
tionary phase, breaking down the negative perceptions of young men in society and exploring how they fit into their communities. Ms Baker said her Oasis portraits were an “equal exchange” between her and each subject, in that she had an interesting person to photograph, and each person received a silver gelatin print of their portrait. That exchange continues in Seen and Heard, with the participating young men receiving a print of their photo. Ms Baker said that taking portraits on an old-fashioned large format camera was a different environment than people are used to when being photographed - in that she does not have to stand behind the camera, looking through. “The fact is, I don’t shoot you - I don’t have a camera up to my eye which separates me from you - the camera’s here by my side and I am looking at you, and I might ask someone to look in the lens, but I’m not separated from them,” she said. “It’s different, and it does change things and I think that’s part of it, too.” The end product will also be murals featuring the portraits, pasted on walls in Yarra Junction and Mount Evelyn, which will go up around May. “I decided to do the murals instead of an exhibition, because then I felt it was more accessible,” Ms Baker said. “It was basically bringing the art into the community, rather than requiring the community to go to a designated area they might not know about.” “I’m actually embedding the youth, literally, in the community.” The project has been supported with grants from Yarra Ranges Council and the RACV’s Community Foundation.

Come and connect with us Your opinion matters! It’s an exciting time at Cire Services, as they return to grassroots community engagement. They’ve asked the questions and heard the answers; and they are now putting in place opportunities for people to reconnect with a purpose. What is a community house? It is a place where people come together to connect, learn and contribute in their local area. A key aspect of a community house is to enable people to identify and address their own needs. It starts from the assumption that communities have existing strengths and assets that make them part of the solution. Cire Community House connects individuals who want to come together to meet new people, learn new skills, transition to study or work, become a volunteer or participate in their community. Community houses welcome people from all walks of life. This inclusive approach opens up

Music’s revealing Anecdote The names, and the faces, will be familiar to many around the Yarra Valley, but the music is a revelation. The Anecdote is launching its debut album ‘Carved Upon The Air’ in Warburton on 22 April, with support acts that are sure to make for an unforgettable night. The album, with songs written over a 15-year period, is a profound work of rich string and brass arrangements, and a compelling and haunting intimacy. Featuring Warburton’s Andrew Darling (vocals, guitar and trumpet), Michael Arvanitakis (cello guitar and backing vocals) and Leanne Arvanitakis-Hall (percussion), their music is a marriage of painstakingly sculptured songs, poetic lyrics, fiery improvising and spacious interweaving. Drawing from elements of folk, world music, reggae and jazz, The Anecdote is
a seasoned festival act and a dazzling and stunning live experience. On stage at the Warburton Arts Centre, they will by supported by local acoustic trio Little Giants - Marlee Nebauer and brother and sister team Amanda and Matt Buck - delivering heart-melting female harmonies, funky bass and highly infectious tunes. Also on the bill is Phoebe like the Moon - Phoebe Rose and Samuel Bear - a storyteller and dreamer whose music calls up faerie tales from the wild woods of the heart. With three stunning local bands that are destined for great things, the night promises to be a wonderful exhibition of Yarra Valley musical talent. The Carved Upon the Air launch is at the Warburton Arts Centre on Saturday night, 22 April. To book phone 5966 4500.

Take a step back in time, to the 1900s, when pioneers worked, ploughed and made a living off the land. Gulf station in Yarra Glen is one of the only original timber farms left in Australia; it’s charm and history make it a destination that can’t be missed. The station owned by the National Trust is celebrating the Australian Heritage Festival that runs from Tuesday 18 to Friday 21 April, and is Australia’s biggest annual community-driven heritage festival. To celebrate the event, Gulf station is having an open day on Sunday 23 April, and volunteer Mike Ridley invites everyone to come along and celebrate Australia’s and Gulf station's rich history and heritage. “It will be a great day, tours will be run, there will be tea and coffee, a barbecue, a Clydesdale harrowing display, rope making demonstrations, and ‘Italian extract’ will be doing pasta cooking and making, and there will be much much more,” says Mike.

Rosalie is just one of the club’s 40 members who meet regularly to hone their craft into an art-form. “I love anything that is threedimensional ... and it’s quirky,” Rosalie said, explaining what it is that sparked her passion for making art dolls.

Currently, the station is run and looked after by passionate volunteers who inform, educate and tell stories about the location's vivid history with each house, room and building reflecting the rustic and 19th century atmosphere. Speaking to the Mail while taking a tour of the station, Mike says the location holds a special place in his heart and that even after 20 years of volunteering, he still loves its charm and character. “What I like about it? ‘The
sheer magic of the place, it has so much character and history to it, everywhere has a story,’” he said. Gulf station is located on 1029 Melba Highway, and visitors are invited to dress in 19th century costume to create a 19th century atmosphere. The event will run from 10am to 4pm on 23 April, and visitors only need a gold coin donation. With traditional homesteads, outbuildings, stables and various animals, visitors can spend the entire day exploring the property’s charms and be transported into the domestic life of a rural colonial family.

Rosalie Collie with Eve, and friends in the background. 167009 Pictures: KATH GANNAWAY
Today, we’re looking at two different remakes of popular franchises from the ’90s. In Power Rangers, five teenage misfits are granted superhuman powers by an ancient civilisation, and must band together to thwart the evil Rita Repulsa (Elizabeth Banks). Power Rangers has surprisingly excellent character development; the leads all have fantastic chemistry, and the narrative is driven by a touching, mature journey of the heroes growing to
trust each other, overcoming their flaws and finding inner strength. Banks is wonderfully hammy as Rita, and the action is cleanly shot and easy to follow; there just isn’t enough of it, and the weak broader conflict feels neglected alongside the strong character dynamics. Ghost in the Shell is a liveaction remake of Mamoru Oshii’s classic 1995 anime, and follows elite counterterrorism agent Mira Killian (Scarlett Johansson), the first full-body cyborg, as she uncovers a conspiracy about her origins.
Ghost in the Shell has jaw-droppingly stunning visual design, engaging performances, stylish action and a fairly intriguing narrative with some well-handled twists. Unfortunately, Johansson is very flat in the lead role, and the anime and source manga’s abstract, fascinating themes of artificial intelligence and the nature of self are mostly dropped in favour of a more generic corporate bad-guy conflict. Speaking for myself, Power Rangers was far better than expected, while Ghost in the Shell wasn’t as good as I’d hoped.

Footy kicks off in sunny style By Cameron Hutchison AFL YARRA RANGES Round 1 kicked off in bright sunshine for the 2017 season and everybody, or almost everybody, dodged the winter conditions, until Sunday. Division 1 saw a clash between last year’s Division 1 Premiers in Healesville, taking on the reigning Division 2 Premiers in Gembrook Cockatoo; as well as the Professionals Cup at Wandin, while Powelltown and Yarra Junction played in their local rival clash. Some surprise results and some good football was witnessed by club’s supporters. The winners in senior football: Emerald, Healesville, Olinda Ferny Creek, Woori Yallock, Wandin, Belgrave, Powelltown, Yarra Glen and Yea. A Grade netball winners: Healesville, Wandin v Mt Evelyn (draw - match abandoned); Olinda Ferny Creek, Woori Yallock, Belgrave, Yarra Junction, Yarra Glen and Yea. Division 1 Seniors Football Emerald 12.19(91) d Monbulk 9.13(67) Emerald played host to Monbulk and showed them a clean pair of heels coming away with a solid season opening win by 24-points. Emerald had an impressive 12 scoring shots to five in the first, which gave them a very handy 22-point lead at the first break. An even second quarter saw Emerald add 2.3 to Monbulk’s 2.2 and the lead was going to be a match-winning one come game’s end. Monbulk outscored Emerald in the third but the lead was still 20 points at three-quarter time. Both forward-lines were busy in the last but accuracy was the issue. Emerald kicked 4.4 to Monbulk’s 3.6. Emerald Best: D. Karacsonyi, S. Anthony, C. Thomsen, P. White (1 goal), B. Wilson, S. Cocks. Monbulk Best: P. Barge (2 goals), S. McBride (2 goals), N. Sargent, R. Gilbert, S. Williams (3 goals), S. Gough. Healesville 17.24(126) d Gembrook Cockatoo 5.7(37) Healesville gave Gembrook a welcome back to Division 1 with a resounding 81-point defeat. Healesville’s accuracy early probably made the score a bit better than what it could have been, kicking 4.9 to 0.3 in the first set up Healesville’s day. Gembrook outscored Healesville in the second, kicking 2.2 to 1.3, but that is where it ended. Healesville came out after half-time and kicked 12.12 to Gembrook’s 3.2. Healesville Best: J. Savage (2 goals), T. Costigan, S. Gordon (4 goals), S. Donkin, A. Davies (1 goal), J. Shaw (3 goals). Gembrook Cockatoo Best: R. Causer (2 goals), M. Quinn, R. Wilson (1 goal), S. Ponter (1 goal), B. Jones, D. Leversha. Olinda Ferny Creek 24.22(166) d Warburton Millgrove 4.5(29) Warburton have had a tough welcome to season 2017 with a loss to Olinda by 137 points. Warburton had no answers for the hard-running Olinda side that was led by Mitch Bonuda up forward, kicking six goals in his debut game for the Bloods. Olinda got away to an early start kicking 4.5 in the first, while holding the Burras goalless. Warburton got their game going in the second, kicking four straight, but Olinda also increased their lead by kicking
Backline champion Luke Barclay in action. 167071 5.6. Olinda well and truly kicked away in the third with a seven-goal quarter, while Warburton could not manage a major. Another big eight-goal quarter to nil in the last gave Olinda the start to the season they wanted. Olinda Ferny Creek Best: C. Horner (2 goals), M. Bonuda (6 goals), J. Charge (2 goals), N. Broomhall (2 goals), D. Fitzgerald, B. Owen (1 goal). Warburton Millgrove Best: S. Andueza, M. Lewis, J. Lee, T. Walker (1 goal), J. Mullan, T. McKail. Woori Yallock 21.19(145) d Upwey Tecoma 6.10(46) Woori Yallock has opened their account with a 99-point win over the Upwey Tigers. Upwey started well with a goal in the first 30 seconds, but then Woori powered away with a five-goal quarter. Woori Yallock piled on another five goals to one, led by Jordy Williams until he suffered a nasty injury as Woori took a commanding 53-point lead into half-time. Upwey kicked another two goals in the third, but Woori added another four to increase the lead to 65 points at the last break. Upwey just had no answers as Woori had the run in the last peppering the goals, kicking 7.5 to 2.1. Woori Yallock Best: J. Adams (1 goal), M. Batten, J. Matthews (5 goals), H. Smith (1 goal), L. Boontjes, S. Kennedy. Upwey Tecoma Best: B. Duncan, S. Dawson (1 goal), H. Stanley, C. Hayes, K. Hinton, A. Kelly. Wandin 17.13(115) d Mount Evelyn 10.3(63) Wandin got off to a good start with 11 scoring shots to four and took a handy lead of 12 points into the second quarter in tough conditions. The game was a tough battle in the second with both sides kicking three goals and not much change to the margin. They slogged it out again in the third, both kicking three goals, but Mount Evelyn
could not get the run they needed to eat into Wandin’s lead which was now 15 points. Wandin kicked it up a gear in the last and ran away with the win, kicking seven goals to one to take the four points for Round 1. Wandin Best: N. Molnar (3 goals), D. Ladner, H. Byrne (3 goals), H. Dudink, R. Ross. Mount Evelyn Best: M. Condello, J. Griffiths, J. Beamish (1 goal), J. Barden, A. Condello, B. Maynard. Division 2 Seniors Football Belgrave 14.13(97) d Alexandra 12.9(81) Belgrave travelled over the mountains to Alexandra for the first time in several years and have come away with a fighting 16-point win and the four points. Alexandra got off to a good start kicking 5.3 to 4.1 and an eight-point lead at the quarter-time break. Belgrave kicked back in the second with a 22-point turnaround to take a six-point lead at half-time. The third quarter was tight with both teams kicking three goals and it was going to be tough for Alexandra to rein in Belgrave’s lead. The last quarter was again very even with both sides kicking three goals apiece, but the chocolates went to Belgrave. Belgrave Best: J. Webb, C. Power (1 goal), D. Bilston, T. Stubley, J. McDermott (1 goal), M. Noy. Alexandra Best: B. Norris, M. Coombs, T. Carter, J. Rouget (1 goal), B. Cooper, S. Steiner (1 goal). Powelltown 23.21(159) d Yarra Junction 14.12(96) Powelltown have come away winners with an impressive performance over rivals Yarra Junction. The first quarter was a high-scoring quarter, with Yarra Junction taking the honours, kicking seven goals to five. If the first quarter was any indication fans were in for a high scoring game. Powelltown certainly had their kicking boots on in the second, kicking
six goals to two and took 17-point lead at half-time. Then, 5.6 to 3.6 in the third gave Powelltown a healthy lead at the last change and they were never going to be headed from there. Dean Roy was in fine form up forward, kicking seven goals for the day. Powelltown Best: C. Tuckey (1 goal), D. Roy (7 goals), B. Walker (1 goal), J. Rohan, S. Sanders, M. Lord (2 goals). Yarra Junction Best: M. Houston (1 goal), L. McCombe (1 goal), J. Holmes (3 goals), A. Chandler (1 goal), W. Robertson (1 goal), D. Wilson (4 goals). Yarra Glen 25.21(171) d Thornton Eildon 5.6(36) Yarra Glen like others have made their mark in Round 1. They kicked a very direct 6.1 to Thornton’s two behinds in the first, which set up the day. A delay in the second quarter had play stopped at the 12-minute mark; and after a restart some 30 minutes later, Yarra Glen still kicked 8.6 in the second, while Thornton could not manage a score. A big 89-point lead at halftime had already decided this game. Yarra Glen came out full of running and kicked 6.8 in the third to Thornton’s 3.3. Another 5.6 to 2.1 saw the final margin 135 points in Yarra Glen’s favour. Yarra Glen Best: J, Baughan, C. Thomas (4 goals), R. Gurney (2 goals), K. Hudson (2 goals), L. Telford (3 goals), C. Tait. Thornton Eildon Best: R. Chapman (1 goal), D. Creed, J. Ashby, Z. King, L. Sharp, Z. Vujasic. Yea 13.7(85) d Kinglake 11.10(76) Yea played host to runners-up from last year, Kinglake, and it looked like it was going to be a tough day at the office for Yea. Kinglake got the early lead and led by six points at quarter time. Kinglake kicked 5.3 to 2.1 in the second and went into the major break leaders by 26-points. Yea outscored Kinglake in the third, kicking 4.2 to 2.3 and reduced the margin to 15-points at the last break. Kinglake looked like they had this game won but took their foot off the pedal and gave Yea a look in that they capitalised on kicking 5.2 to 1.2 to come away with a heart stopping win by nine points. Yea Best: D. Freeman, H. Jarvie (2 goals), I. Kaak, L. Beattie (1 goal), R. Aldous. Kinglake Best: J. Butterworth, J. Whelan (4 goals), A. McLaren, J. Chalmers, C.Arnott. Under 18s Football Warburton Millgrove 13.4(82) def Yarra Glen 5.6(36) This game started out evenly matched. Warburton kicked three straight in the first to Yarra Glen’s 2.2. Warburton got the ascendancy in the second, kicking five straight to three straight and their lead had extended to 16-points at half-time. Yarra Glen were still in the hunt but Warburton had a different idea and held Yarra Glen goalless in the second half and kicked away with a comfortable 46-point win, after kicking 5.4 in the last half. Warburton Millgrove Best: M. Leeds (5 goals), A. Nelson (3 goals), R. Elvey (1 goal), T. Mon-Aphai, C. Mackieson, J. Buller. Yarra Glen Best: L. Coulson, Z. Capuano, A. Beath, J. Capuano, M. Kikidopoulos, P. Moors.
Emerald 19.13(127) d Monbulk 0.4(4) Emerald were unstoppable. They kicked 7.4 to 0.1 in the first to take a commanding lead of 45 points into the second quarter. Their lead was extended to 64 points at half-time and Monbulk had yet to register a major. Emerald continued with their dominance kicking another 9.7 in the second-half, while Monbulk battled on and top their credit never gave up could not manage a goal. Emerald Best: B. Wood (3 goals), R. Goonan (1 goal), B. Pepi (2 goals), K. Jordan-Hill, R. Hall (4 goals), J. Zimmerling. Monbulk Best: M. Dekker, N. Wall, T. Wills, H. Emmett, A. Banks, S. Bennett. Healesville 7.15(57) d Gembrook Cockatoo 5.10(40) Healesville got their 2017 campaign off to a good start with a 17-point win over Gembrook. Healesville kicked 2.3 to 1.1 in the first to take a small lead of eight-points into the second term. Gembrook outscored Healesville kicking 2.5 to 2.3 in the second and reduced the margin to 12-points. The lead was only five-points at three-quarter time because Gembrook held Healesville goalless in the third. Healesville bounced back in the last kicking 2.7 to 1.1 to come away with the 4-points. Healesville Best: R. Ashby, M. Boyle (1 goal), L. Chandler (1 goal), C. Fulford, L. Hellary, E. Muke. Gembrook Cockatoo Best: D. Williams, B. Diprose, D. South, M. Templeton (4 goals), K. Osseweyer, J. Mazur. Woori Yallock 12.6(78) d Upwey Tecoma 11.6(72) This game was well contested all day. Woori Yallock held the slimmest of leads at quarter time, both sides kicked three goals for the term. Upwey broke through in the second, kicking 4.2 to 2.1 to take a lead of six points into half-time. They continued that way in the third, kicking 3.1 to 2.1 to increase their lead to 12 points at the final break. Woori Yallock, however, came out with some inspiring football and turned a 12-point deficit into a sixpoint win, kicking 4.1 to 1.1. Woori Yallock Best: C. Cameron (2 goals), D. Wood, M. Anderson, P. Jenkin, J. Gray, J. Aitchison (2 goals). Upwey Tecoma Best: B. Raru (1 goal), I. Shineberg (1 goal), H. Greenall (3 goals), A. Bartils, T. Johnson, L. Sholer.

Wandin kicked the only goal for the first quarter and took a four-point lead into the first break. They increased their lead to 10 points by half-time. Mount Evelyn outscored Wandin in the third, kicking 3.4 to 2.1, and had reduced Wandin’s lead to one point. The game see-sawed in the last and it was left until the last minutes to decide the winner. Both sides kicked two goals but Wandin managed to hold on to come away with the four points. Wandin Best: J. Byrne, M. Dall (3 goals), J. Spencer, S. Barrand (1 goal), J. Daeman, B. Stokes.

Peter Lang eyes the prize By John Wood Another big attendance at the Woods Point Gun Club saw some pretty keen competition for the two major events of the day, the Ron Martyn Memorial and the Goulburn River Silver Dollar Trophy. The standard 10 target Eye Opener saw Phillip Desmond take the AA Grade cash 27/30, Daryl Ewert A Grade 30/30, Marty McLaughlin B Grade 30/30 with Ron Press successful in C Grade 29/30. The first event, 20T DB Continental Ron Martyn Memorial Trophy, was to celebrate Ron’s life and his efforts as a Founding Member of the club. Ron’s support and efforts over 47 years of membership were instrumental in the club continuing to be the strong and successful clay target club that it is today. Peter Lang put in a great performance to score a perfect 20/20; and after all shooters had finished, no one was able to match him. Congratulations Peter for winning the inaugural Ron Martyn Trophy. The Grade winners and runners-up were: AA - Phillip Desmond 23/24, Ian Findlay 22/24; A - Daniel Chinn 22/23, Laurie Poile 21/23; B - Chuck Lay 22/23, David Frazer 37/39; C - Peter Lang 20/20, Steven Bedggood 19/20. The 75 target Double Barrel Goulburn River Trophy was sponsored by Peter Streuber, Ohio USA, and Mansfield shooter, Rob Kirley that featured a mounted 1921 American Silver Dollar for the winner and beautifully embossed leather belt buckles from the USA for the Grade winners
Pictured, from left: Phillip Desmond, Denny Walker, Louisa Herrod, Andrea Herrod (Martyn), Paul Herrod, Margaret Martyn, Georgia Martyn. Jon Martyn, Peter Lang, Chuck Lay, Daryl Ewert, Laurie Poile and Rob Bevis. 167083 and the successful Junior. Shot in three 25 target brackets, a lot of concentration was necessary to win Streuber’s Silver Dollar Trophy. After the completion of the first 25 targets, Phillip Desmond and Tom Apps were clean on 25/25 with Marty McLaughlin, Chuck Lay, Rob Bevis, Geoff Hill, Anthony Kirley, Peter West and Denny Walker all in contention with 24/25 scores. The second 25 saw Bevis 25/25, Desmond 24/25 and Apps 24/25 taking the lead with a total of 49/50 just one
target in front of McLaughlin, Lay and Hill on 48/50. Ewert shot a 25/25 giving him 47/50 while West and Poile had scores of 47/50 as well. Unless there was a big meltdown with the top shooters, 47/50 would be a big ask to win. The final 25 was tense. Poile returned the only possible, 25/25, final total 72/75, but this was not good enough as Bevis pulled out all stops to card another 25/25 to have an unassailable final score of 74/75.
Desmond and Lay ended up with 72/75, two shots short of Bevis. Ewert and West’s final 71/75 at least got them a podium finish. The wash up was that Rob Bevis won the Trophy and the AA Grade embossed leather belt buckle as well. First time for him and well done! In the Grades: AA - Rob Bevis 74/75, Phillip Desmond 72/75; A Laurie Poile 72/75. Daryl Ewert 71/75; B - Chuck Lay 72/75, Peter West 71/75; C - Peter Lang 68/76. Denny Walker 67/76 was second

The Heritage Family
in C Grade and also the Junior winner with 67/75. The Robert and Linda Lay-sponsored Overall High Gun was won by a very surprised Lay 111/115 after a shoot off with Bevis 109/115. It was great to see the Martyn family at the club and Margaret also pitched in to ensure everyone was well fed and watered. Our next shoot is the Community Bank Cup and Champion of Champions on Sunday 23 April at 10am. See you there.

Motoring Feature-packed Prado Toyota has scaled new heights of value, convenience and on-road appeal with the announcement of a LandCruiser Prado Altitude special-edition model. The Prado Altitude, based on the already well-equipped GXL turbo-diesel with automatic transmission, delivers at least $10,000 of extra features for just $5000. Toyota’s makeover is instantly recognisable because the Prado Altitude, unlike regular Prado models, carries the spare tyre underneath the vehicle rather than on the tailgate. The convenience of the clean rear design is further enhanced by a glass hatch that opens independently of the tailgate to provide access to the spacious luggage area. Prado Altitude is also distinguished by stylish new 18-inch alloy wheels, a tilt-and-slide moonroof, auto-levelling LED headlamps and chrome side mouldings. Inside, the special-edition Prado focuses on even higher levels of comfort, convenience and entertainment, including the addition of black leatheraccented upholstery. Front-seat occupants can obtain the best possible position with power-operated seats - eight-way for the driver and four-way for the passenger. Once settled into the trip, occupants are treated to a premium JBL 14-speaker audio system that also offers digital (DAB+) radio. Back-seat passengers can also “tune out" by tuning in to a Blu-ray rear entertainment system that features a ceiling-mounted 9-inch monitor and 5.1-channel surround sound - all enjoyed through three wireless head-
The new, feature-packed Prado Altitude is sure to please. 167007 phones and remote control. Prado’s relocated spare tyre replaces a second fuel tank, giving added convenience to owners who do not require the extended driving range. The main tank holds up to 87 litres of diesel fuel. Toyota Australia’s executive director sales and marketing Tony Cramb said the $68,230 Prado Altitude is remarkable for both its style and value.
“Buyers will appreciate all the new features that make Prado Altitude even more luxurious and practical, including a lighter tailgate that is easier to open - particularly useful in tight city parking," Mr Cramb said. Equipped with the impressive traction of constant four-wheel drive, Prado Altitude is powered by a hightorque 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine generating 450Nm of torque from as low as 1600rpm, all the
way to 2400rpm. Combined-cycle fuel economy is just 8.0 litres per 100km. Prado Altitude retains up-market GXL features including reversing camera, satellite navigation viewed on a seven-inch display screen, cruise control, three-zone climate-controlled air-conditioning, rear parking sensors, audio controls on the steering wheel and keyless smart entry and ignition. Other standard safety features fitted to every Prado include seven airbags,
vehicle stability and traction control, anti-skid brakes, hill-start assist control and downhill assist control. The Prado Altitude is available in four colours - black and the $550 option of silver peal, crystal pearl and graphite. It is covered by Toyota Service Advantage with services capped at $240 for each of up to six standard scheduled services.
Don’t lower driving age: RACV urges safety first centives, for example a discount on registration, to get more young people into safer 5-star cars.” Mr Negus said an RACV survey disputed the impacts on 17-yearolds not being able to hold a licence. “An RACV survey of young people found that while a lack of transport affected their social trips, only a few said it impacted their ability to get employment,” he said. “If transport is considered to be a problem, then governments need to provide better transport options in regional areas and improve timeta-
ble co-ordination between different modes of transport to meet the needs of young people.” To provide further evidence, the RACV has pointed to road statistics from VicRoads: While drivers aged 18 to 25 make up only 12 per cent of licence holders, they account for 20 per cent of fatalities on Victorian roads; If Victoria lowered the age to 17, it has been estimated that it would result in an increase of 10 fatalities, more than 240 serious inju-

· ·
ries, and over 700 minor injuries each year; Based on projected trauma increases, the estimated increase in cost for one year to the Victorian community is about $247 million per year; South Australia estimated that if they increased the minimum licensing age from 17 to 18 years, the State would see a 20 per cent reduction in casualty crashes among 16-24-year-old drivers, and a 5-6 per cent reduction in the annual road toll.
The RACV has weighed into the debate around driving age. 167004
1187559-RC24-15
The RACV has expressed its disappointment with the recent report from the Law Reform, Road and Community Safety Committee, which recommended the driving age be lowered from 18 to 17. RACV general manager Public Policy, Brian Negus, said the RACV did not support the recommendation. “Licensing age should be based on evidence that puts the safety of all Victorians first,” he said. “RACV does not support the Victorian Government creating in-

Motoring ASX takes market share By Alistair Kennedy Mitsubishi ASX is the smallest but biggest-selling of the Japanese carmaker’s Australian 4WD/SUV range. On sale since early 2010 it’s been a major success for Mitsubishi, consistently sitting among the top three or four sellers in the highly-competitive compact SUV market segment and just pipped at the post by Mazda CX-3 for top spot in 2016. The appeal of vehicles such as ASX lies in their functionality with a tall, square design that provides a higher than normal driving position and practical rear storage space. The choice of the name ASX caused a few chuckles initially because, although it’s an abbreviation for Active Sports Crossover, it’s also the one used for the Australian Stock Exchange. The ASX name is used in Europe while in the United States it is sold as Outlander Sport and in Asian markets as the RVR. Like most of its competitors ASX is aimed more at on-road use than tackling the Aussie bush, although it does come with the option of all-wheel drive and so can be used on dirt roads, forest trails and the like. We’d recommend taking up the full-size spare wheel if you’re looking at off-road driving. Two equipment levels are offered, badged LS and XLS both with either 2WD petrol or AWD diesel. Mitsubishi ASX was given an upgrade in late 2016 with a number of styling and functionality changes.
Model range LS 2.0-litre petrol 2WD five-door wagon: $25,000 (manual), $27,000 (CVT) LS 2.2-litre diesel 4WD five-door wagon: $32,500 (CVT) XLS 2.0-litre petrol 2WD five-door wagon: $31,500 (CVT) XLS 2.2-litre diesel 4WD five-door wagon: $37,000 (CVT)
The new Mitsubishi ASX is a neat and well-priced SUV / hatchback crossover. The most obvious of the exterior tweaks is a new grille that uses the Mitsubishi Dynamic Shield that has previously been used on ASX’s larger siblings, Outlander and Pajero Sport. There are also new black and chrome finishes to the front bumper and grille as well as a new shark fin antenna. Combination style front fog lamps replace the previous daytime running lamps. As before the XLS comes with a panoramic sunroof. All models get 18-inch alloy wheels. There’s good interior space with plenty of rear leg and headroom and a large, easily accessible boot that caters
for 393 litres with the rear seat back in place, and up to 1193 litres with them folded. Extra seat base bolstering has been added to the rear seats for improved comfort. The LS gets a new high-grade fabric seat trim with red stitching while the switch for the heated front seats has been moved to the instrument panel. LS has key-in-ignition start while XLS has keyless entry and start / stop. The steering wheel is both height and reach adjustable. Engine capacity and outputs are unchanged from the previous model with the choice of 2.0-litre petrol with outputs of 110 kW at 6000 rpm and 197
Nm at 4200; and 2.2-litre turbo-diesel peaking at 110 kW at 3500 revs and 360 Nm at 1500 rpm. The lower-specced LS petrol variant gets the choice between five-speed manual and continuously variable automatic transmission. The XLS petrol only comes with the CVT. Both LS and XLS diesels get a torque convertor six-speed automatic. Safety features on all ASX models include ABS brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist; stability and traction control; seven airbags (front, side, curtain and driver’s knee); rear parking sensors; reversing camera; IsoFix rear child seat
anchor points; and hill start assist. The LS model uses a 6.1-inch full colour touchscreen for its information display while the XLS steps up to the Mitsubishi Multi Communications System (MMCS) with a 7.0-inch screen and two extra speakers with satellite navigation added to its features. Other standard features include Bluetooth phone and audio; digital radio; USB socket; and voice control. The XLS also has an SD card input. Entry and exit don’t require excessive bending and stooping. The front seats are comfortable and reasonably supportive despite quite low bolsters. Dashboard controls, knobs and the touchscreen are logically placed and easy to use. Exterior vision is good at all angles. Our test car was the manual XLS 2WD petrol. It’s sluggish initially but sharp enough once it gains momentum although, as mentioned, peak power isn’t reached until a high 6000rpm.

Upmarket but low on power for new Rio By Ewan Kennedy The designers of the new Kia Rio have done just about everything they could to move it upmarket. Operating in the ultra-tight smallcar market, the South Korean company realised it had to move away from mainstream to give it an edge. On the whole it has succeeded, but there is one problem that needs to be sorted out asap, more about it later in this report. In the European manner new Kia Rio sits on a 10mm longer wheelbase to permit a bigger cabin for greater legroom and comfort. It’s virtually a four-seater for adults. The body is 15mm longer overall and sits five milimetres lower than the outgoing model. The design is neat and tidy and could easily pass for a shape from one of the upmarket European marques. It has the latest evolution of Kia’s ‘tiger-nose’ grille, this time thinner and wider. We like the bonnet with its distinctive ‘bracket-shaped’ creases that run down from the base of the A-pillars to the grille and headlamps. Also looking good is the sculpting of the door’s lower surfaces. A gloss black grille distinguishes the Si and SLi models. Our test car was a Kia Rio Si with automatic transmission. New Rio is offered in seven colours, many of them interesting shades that offer relief from the 500 shades of grey that are currently haunting our roads. We loved the hues of Signal Red, Mighty Yellow and Smoke Blue. Then there are Clear White, Silky Silver, Platinum Graphite and Aurora Black
MODEL RANGE Rio S: $16,990 (manual), $19,090 (automatic) Rio Si: $21,490 (automatic) Rio SLi: $22,990 (automatic)
The upmarket shape of the new Kia Rio signals the car’s intentions. Pearl. All colours, except Clear White, cost an extra $520. Our test car was in Aurora Black Pearl, it looks good, but next time we might try for one of the colourful ones. The cabin has an upmarket look that’s not always a given in this lowcost class. The straight lines running the width of the dashboard increase the sense of space. Kia Rio S seats are trimmed in woven Tricot cloth, ‘our’ Rio Si buyers had an embossed Tricot cloth treatment. The top of the range Rio SLi has
artificial-leather trim. At the centre of the Rio Si’s dashboard is a 7.0-inch touchscreen with a high-resolution display giving access to the next generation Kia systems. The satellite navigation unit includes SUNA live traffic updates. The Rio’s Android Auto is designed to work with Android phones running 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher. This connects to the user’s phone and lets them access smartphone apps and functions through the in-car infotainment system, such as voice-guided Google Maps, mapping service, hands-
free calls and texts and voice recognition. Apple CarPlay, for iPhone 5 or newer, lets Siri control the phone’s various functions and apps, including navigation via Apple Maps, calls and text dictation. CarPlay also supports other audio apps that the user may have downloaded to their iPhone, such as music streaming or audiobook services. Kia Australia is proud of the fact that Rio is the first car in the B-segment to be equipped with USB ports in both the front and rear of the cabin. The new Kia Rio is powered by a 1.4-litre engine with 74 kW and 133 Nm. This is an old unit that has had to be detuned slightly to meet the latest European emission standards. A four-speed automatic is standard in the Si and SLi. There is also an auto in the Rio S, it’s the only model sold with a sixspeed manual transmission, a sign of the times as even in this market segment few drivers are looking to do their own gearshifting. Interior space is excellent for this class and a family unit of mum, dad and a couple of kids in their mid teens can be accommodated with room to spare. Three children in the back should probably be preteen, though. New Rio has bottle holders in every door (to take 1.5-litre bottles in the front and 0.5-litre bottles in the rear)
and two larger drinkholders in the front. The doors have storage holes in the door handles. Luggage capacity has increased by 37 litres to 325 litres. The 60:40 splitfolding rear seats and a space-saver tyre maximise the volume of the boot. The engine has barely enough power to our way of thinking. Put that engine beside an old-style four-speed automatic and the result isn’t pleasing. Hills troubling the powertrain at times, and overtaking needed plenty of empty space in front which is a real shame as the rest of the car is bang up to date. We only had two people and light luggage on board, if you’re looking to use a Rio as family transport it will be a good ideal to load the family on board as part of your personal pre-purchase test drive. It’s known that other powertrains are on the way, but at this stage Kia Australia can’t give us information on their timing. The Australian ride and handling team has worked with its Korean counterparts to give us a car that’s semisporty without being overly firm. The steering feel is nicely weighted and provides good feedback. It grips the road well, isn’t bothered by rough surfaces and provides plenty of leeway if the driver makes a mistake. The new generation Kia Rio is an impressive small car that’s a size up in interior space compared to many of its rivals. It’s also a step up on class. Kia’s impressive seven-year factory warranty, seven-year capped price servicing and seven-year roadside assist certainly add to the appeal.
