City Hall borrowings will triple over the next four years despite council administrators this week hailing a reduction under their reign last financial year.

The administrators’ final budget plans a loan balance of $125 million in 2020/2021, up from $45 million in 2016/2017.

The administrators deferred almost $36m in loans during the last financial year, leaving future councils to deal with the burden.

Residents flee as trucks melt in blaze at Drysdale

By Luke Voogt and Justin Flynn Terrified residents fled their homes following an inferno which melted trucks and sent exploding gas cylinders flying near a Drysdale petrol station on Thursday morning.

Sally Hurst, who lives near from the site, at first mistook the explosions for thunder after they woke her family at 1.30am.

“We looked out the window and there was a massive fireball above the gumtree,” the motherof-three said.

“It was like there were bombs going off.”

Mrs Hurst and her husband quickly “packed the kids and the two dogs into car” and drove to Leopold.

The family left voluntarily given the fire’s proximity to the petrol station.

“We thought if that goes we’re best to be away,” Mrs Hurst said.

“The most terrifying part was we couldn’t find out any information - it was the blind leading the blind when we left.”

The family returned home at 2.30am.

“We met other residents on the side of the road and they had been evacuated by that stage,” Mrs Hurst said The fire started in a shed full of gas cylinders behind Mortimer Petroleum, on High Street, just before 1am on Thursday morning.

The CFA said the fuel tankers were holding diesel and unleaded petrol, and some of it leaked onto the ground and caught fire, making the situation worse.

Firefighters were able to contain the blaze within a few hours after evacuating 47 residents from 30 nearby homes.

In Brief Death guilt A Clifton Springs man has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and arson over the death an elderly neighbour who was found stabbed and with head injuries in his burnt-out home last year.

Stuart Matthew McKnight, 45, initially pleaded not guilty to murdering 79-year-old Graham Stevenson before changing his plea in the Supreme Court this week.

Fire alarm Police have called for witnesses after a fire in a shed storing acetylene cylinders forced the evacuation of “several houses” at Lara.

Emergency services rushed to the Sheeran Crt in the early hours of last Friday after a report of smoke coming from the shed at the back of the property, police said.

Mandarin messages

(Facebook) EMERGENCY: Dramatic shots from the blaze, near a petrol station, in which gas cylinders exploded and the heat was so intense nearby tankers were reported as having ‘melted’. said the cause of the fire was unknown.

“It was unbelievable, I’ve never seen anything like it,“ he said.

“It was extremely difficult to put out with the amount of gas cylinders on the premises.

“We had to evacuate nearby residents due to the cylinders that were exploding up into the air.”

The site’s owner, David Mortimer, said the blaze had caused about $800,000 damage.

Firefighters rescued Mr Mortimer’s dad, aged in his 80s, from his home neighbouring the property.

“Dad’s fine, he’s tough as old boots,” Mr Mor-

timer said.

Mr Mortimer was grateful that firefighters were able to save some of his equipment and hoped to return to work as soon as possible.

“They put up a water wall that saved the neighbours and one of my barrels that was on back fence,” he said.

“I’ve just got to get some gear together.”

The City of Greater Geelong set up a shelter for displaced people at Springdale Community Centre, Drysdale.

People living as far away as Portarlington and St Leonards heard the explosions.

A road worker’s use of Google Translate on his mobile phone to communicate with international tourists has inspired the rollout of multilingual signs on the region’s premier coastal route.

Trucks working on the Great Ocean Road were not flashing messages in Mandarin and English to warn overseas drivers of changed traffic conditions, the State Government said.

Double Bash Kardinia Park will host the Big Bash League’s first double-header in regional Victoria, Sport Minister John Eren has announced.

More than 1 million Australians would tune in on TV to watch the Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Sixers would clash in the “blockbuster” on 3 January, he said.

Robert Kelly’s award-winning piece My World of Touch.

VIRTUOSO: Artist Robert Kelly on the piano.

Blind pianist’s art award Blind painter Robert Kelly has won the top prize at a Geelong art competition ahead of almost 100 other artists with disabilities.

Robert’s piece My World of Touch impressed the judges at the Karingal St Laurence MyPath Art Unlimited Fusion exhibition last month.

“I’m really happy,” 44-year-old said. “It’s my first prize from my artwork.”

The St Albans Park local loved getting outdoors and his regular trips to plant nurseries inspired his tactile masterpiece.

He made the collage out of everyday objects before spray painting it black to give viewers a powerful insight into his world.

Despite being blind since birth, Robert described himself as an art connoisseur and that he

loved using colour and papier-mache.

“Here are paintings that I like to touch,” he said.

“I can’t see the colour and texture but I can feel it.”

He also rides horses, practises yoga and cooks at Karingal St Laurence’s East Geelong hub.

But perhaps greatest talent is the piano, which he has played since year 8.

“He is incredible on the piano,” said support worker Christine Clancy.

“He loves classical, he loves jazz and he plays it all by ear.”

Christine described Robert’s win and his painting as extraordinary.

“You get a real connection with it,” she said.

“That was just a feather in the hat for Rob, he’s just so talented. Everybody loves him.”

From page 1 Sacked councillor and council hopeful Ron Nelson slammed the administrators who this week promoted their financial credentials.

“They haven’t really done anything - they’ve just delayed projects,” he said.

“It’s quite alarming and disappointing the administrators have cost-shifted these loans and are then saying their financial position is great.”

Administrator chair Kathy Alexander last year stated her intent to tackle debt after the 2016/17 Budget set out an additional $50m in new loans, on top of $55m in existing debt.

The budget forecast a total debt of $93m by June 2017.

“I’ll make it very clear ... I don’t like the $93m debt,” she told the Geelong Advertiser in June 2016.

“I don’t think it’s what the ratepayers really want; they don’t want their municipal government to be broke. It’s not good financial management.

“I think we’ve got to look at a budgeting process year-on-year that actually looks to pay down those debts really quickly.”

But the 2017/2018 Budget revealed the City took out no new loans last financial year, instead deferring loans to the next council over the next two financial years.

The Administrators shifted $28m in loans to 2017/18, which will see the City’s loan debt rise to $73m by June 2018.

Dr Alexander this week praised the City’s financial management.

“It’s pleasing to see that our total loan balance - or our debt - has dropped by $9.3 million over the past year to an even more manageable $45.5 million.”

But City’s latest budget forecasts new borrowings of $39m, $44m, $27m and $19m in the next four years bringing the debt to $125m.

Council candidate Eddy Kontelj described the administrator’s deferral of loans as short-sighted and non-transparent.

“I don’t know why they would be doing that,” he said.

“Deferring loans like that is not a great practice unless there is some justifiable reason - are they expecting revenues to increase?

“If all they are doing is shifting the loans from year to another that’s not really the whole story is it?”

The 2017/18 Budget sets out significantly higher levels of borrowing for the next four years than the previous budget.

The 2016/17 Budget forecast $109m in loan debt in June 2020, compared to $119m forecast in the latest budget.

MyPath Art Unlimited curator Elida Luciarte said each artist brought an amazing story to their artwork.

Fellow artist Lyn Dingley also impressed judges Jill Shalless, Steve Salo and Jedda Robaard with her piece Waudi of Land.

“Robert and Lyn were just so impressive, they really amazed us with their artwork and it was such an exciting and emotional night,” Elida said.

“It has been such a great exhibition and we’re so proud to give our artists a space where they can celebrate their work and learn more about each other and the art community.”

She said Robert’s piece My World of Touch allowed viewers to explore his world, where touch and feel are integral to his day-to-day life.

“It’s a very powerful piece that moves every person who stands in front of it.”

Think Geelong’s winter just past was particularly cold?

Well, if you did, like everybody else, then you’re surprisingly wrong, according to the city’s leading weather man.

The local average daily temperature for winter 2017 was actually just a whisker off the longterm normal - and that whisker was on the high side as well, says Geelong Weather Services’ Lindsay Smail.

Say what? After all those frosts and bone-chilling days? Those months of continual heater use?

Double Take asked Lindsay to explain why the local consensus was wrong.

He mostly blamed strong winds and above-average rain in August for affecting “people’s perception” of winter in its entirety.

“I can’t change the figures but maybe this helps to explain it,” Lindsay offered. Double Take expects the answer will leave local brass monkeys scratching their heads - especially since that’s all they have left to scratch!

Another consequence of winter’s chill might also have emerged in local law and order circles, of all places.

The evidence is a police call for information to identify several males for questioning over the heist of five Robitussin Dry Cough mixture bottles from a Geelong chemist.

The haul, valued at $67.50, was swiped on 24 August, police alleged.

Truly desperate types have been known to consume cough mixture as an alternative to cheap booze, of course.

But given the “perception” of an abnormally cold winter and the documented local outbreak of influenza, it’s odds on the alleged thieves were after medication rather than inebriation.

Anyone with information about someone’s cough clearing up suspiciously fast should contact Crime Stoppers.

High Standards, Low Cost.

A broken hip couldn’t stop Bill Polwarth volunteering for the club he loves, and at 83 he plans to remain for a while.

“I think I’ve got a bit in me yet,” he said.

Bill was just one of dozens of nominees, young and old and from 14 different sports, for Viva Energy’s Club Legend competition.

Nominations for the awards, carrying thousands of dollars in prizes, have flooded in from all parts of greater Geelong. Entries close Sunday.

The property steward dubbed 'Mr Ed’ has become “part of the furniture" after 32 years at Geelong West Football Club, according to nominator Gareth Drennan.

He volunteered as ground manager for his beloved Giants, even after recovering from a broken hip in 2010 before switching roles three years ago.

Bill earned his amusing nickname for poking his head out of the door of the club’s property room, or his ‘stable’, Gareth said.

“He continues to work tirelessly and loves being around the club and its people. He is an inspiration to me.”

Fellow sporting veteran Roger Allen received a nomination for his 56 years at North Geelong Cricket Club.

“I’m very proud to be nominated for the award,” the life member of 42 years said.

Roger started in juniors as a 13-year-old and has served as coach, president and now treasurer.

His grandson and two granddaughters play for the club.

“It keeps me fit and young,” he said.

Gaelic footballer John Reaney and baseball player Craig Durstan showed the diversity of sports among the nominations.

John helped revive Geelong Gaels in 2013, recruiting dozens of locals. He hoped his nomination would help promote the Irish sport.

“The publicity we get the better,” he said. “Any nationality that wants to give it a go can give it a go.”

More hands up for two-seat ward Administrator to ‘monitor’ council

CANDIDATE: Robert Blaszczyk says he will run as an “independent” despite his Labor membership. didates so far, southern Kardinia has three and Bellarine two.

A postal vote will decide the 11 councillors on 27 October.

The councillors will then choose the mayor from among themselves after the Andrews Government removed Geelong’s direct mayoral vote and restructured the council.

Administrator Peter Dorling will stay on at City Hall after his term ends to “monitor” Geelong’s next council, the Andrews government has announced.

The government named Mr Dorling and Jude Munro as the state’s two municipal monitors “to help restore good governance for the people of Geelong”.

Mr Dorling, a former director of Committee for Geelong, would serve as “supporting monitor” under Ms Munro in the “primary” role, the government said. Mr Dorling currently serves under chair Kathy Alexander as one of the government’s three part-time administrators overseeing City Hall.

Peter Dorling Ms Munro, a former Brisbane City chief, was previously appointed to a Commission of Inquiry whose findings the government used as justification to sack the previous council.

Mr Dorling and Ms Munro would keep tabs on the next council’s entire two-year term, including progress on implementing the administrators’ 30year “vision for Geelong”, said Local Government Minister Natalie Hutchins.

“The pair bring considerable experience to their roles and are familiar with the challenges facing Geelong,” Ms Hutchins said.

“They will monitor the council as it continues to implement the findings of the Commission of Inquiry and the council’s long-term plan.

“This is a significant step towards restoring the services and governance people in Geelong deserve.”

12360969-KC36-17

Two more candidates have emerged to represent northern Geelong on the council, setting up the ward with the least seats at City Hall with one of the hottest election contests.

Norlane 24-year-old Robert Blaszczyk announced to the Indy this week that he would stand in Windermere, giving the ward eight confirmed candidates so far.

Windermere will have two councillors compared to a trio each in the other three wards.

Mr Blaszczyk said he was a Labor party member but was running as an independent.

Northern Geelong had been Mr Blaszczyk’s home his “entire life”, he said.

“I grew up experiencing the northern suburbs in all their prosperity and glory.

“I am standing for Windermere Ward because we need a strong voice of advocacy and because we, as a community, deserve better.”

Mr Blaszczyk, who said he worked in financial services, nominated “areas of interest” as youth engagement, small-business growth, community safety, and improving the northern suburbs’ “profile” to visitors passing through.

Mr Blaszczyk’s stand followed former Afghan refugee Moshtagh Heidari announcing himself on the weekend as Windermere’s seventh candidate.

The 23-year-old Lovely Banks student said he had become “very passionate” about northern Geelong after arriving in Australia five years ago.

Mr Heidari alluded to the apparent higher rate of public investment in central Geelong when making his pitch to voters in the north.

“It shouldn’t take a half-hour drive into the CBD before we can see $45 million libraries and green wedges,” he said.

“I want to help encourage a higher level of investment into the north where our residents can fully enjoy and utilise these facilities. I want to get on with the job and give back to a community that has given me so much.”

A postal vote will decide the 11 councillors on 27 October.

‘Someone knows who killed victim’

By Luke Voogt Five conflicting accounts of the fatal stabbing of Waurn Ponds mother Raichele Galea in June have led Homicide Squad detectives to plead for public assistance.

Detective Senior Sergeant Mark Colbert on Wednesday appealed for anyone who knew what “went on inside that unit” to come forward.

“We don’t believe what we’ve got so far is the truth,” he said.

“Or, if it is the truth, it’s not the whole truth.”

Emergency services attended a unit on Matthews Road, Corio, about 10pm on 30 June following reports a woman had been assaulted.

They attempted to revive the woman, but she died at the scene. Police later identified the 44-year-old as Raichele Galea.

Det Sen Sgt Colbert described Raichele, who had two adult children, as troubled but hardworking at the time of her death.

“Rachel was a caring person,” he said.

“Her employer tells us she was very conscientious in her work.

“She had some troubles with drugs at various times and some relationship problems but they’re challenges ... that many people face.

“She ... didn’t deserve to meet this tragic end.”

Originally police believed two people were at the property at the time of the incident but an investigation indicated three others left before officers arrived.

“We’re open to whether there could have been more,” Det Sen Sgt Colbert said.

Detectives interviewed a 45-year-old woman and a 43-year-old woman, both from Corio, on the night.

Police later spoke to three more people, two males and a female, in relation to the incident.

Det Sen Sgt Colbert said police knew each of the five and Raichele to “varying degrees” prior to the incident.

SEARCH ON: Police keen to identify car owner.

“Some of these people have had challenges in their lives.”

All five provided different accounts to police about what occurred inside the property at the time of Raichele’s death.

“It’s very clear that something happened inside that house and those people must know what that was,” Det Sen Sgt Colbert said.

Police released them pending further inquiries and Det Sen Sgt Colbert declined to label any of the five as suspects.

Detectives had followed a number of leads as to why Raichele was at the house, he said.

“The parties were known to each other and Raichele knew some of the people in that house but probably not all.

“There are some strong indicators as to why she may have been there but nothing that’s conclusive.”

Detectives released images of a silver Holden Commodore sedan (pictured) on Tuesday and urged anyone who saw the car arriving at or leaving the Matthews Road address on 30 June to contact them.

Forensic specialists were testing a weapon found at the house, Det Sen Sgt Colbert said.

He urged anyone with information to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit at www. crimestoppersvic.com.au.

Film turns ‘disability’ on its head

By Luke Voogt A new Geelong film starring local actors is throwing stereotypes away in its portrayal of people with a disability.

Jeremy the Dud, which airs on 17 October, is the story a man “without specialty” living in an alternate universe where disability is the norm.

Corio actor Chris Van Ingen described playing a “real prick of boss” in the film as a role he had been waiting for.

“Everything I’ve played so far is the poor guy in the wheelchair that needs help,” he said.

“The thing I loved about the film is it turns stereotypes on its head. There are nice guys in wheelchairs and nasty guys in wheelchairs.”

Many people thought Van Ingen’s cerebral palsy would prevent him from chasing his acting dream, he said.

The film’s treatment of “normal” Jeremy as a “dud” was a fun way of getting people to throw away such stereotypes, he added.

“That’s what I’ve always tried to do throughout my whole life - not just in my acting.”

Geelong actress Chloe Hayden joined Van Ingen as Heidi, the film’s “voice of reason”.

“She’s the one questioning why people are treating Jeremy the way they are treating him,” Hayden said.

“They treat him like he’s unable to talk for himself and fend for himself.”

Hayden said the idea of turning stereotypes upside down “spoke” to her and that she enjoyed working alongside the film’s unique cast.

“I don’t think you’d find another workplace or movie set with an atmosphere like that.”

Hayden, who has Asperger’s syndrome, has dreamed of being a professional actress since she was a little girl.

“I would say I’m one of the most emotionallydriven people you’ll ever meet,” she said.

Robot Army’s Ryan Chamley wrote and directed the satirical film after seeing prejudice first-hand.

NO DUDS HERE: Geelong's Chloe Hayden stars alongside Samuel Humphrey, Nick Boshier and Adam Bowes in Jeremy the Dud.

“I have a sister with MS and seeing how people treat her, the assumptions they make, it’s pretty frustrating,” he said.

“Often even when they mean the best they’re still being incredibly rude.”

Chamley’s characters include a womanising amputee (played by paralympian Adam Bowes)

and a horrible boss in a wheelchair.

He hoped reversing the stereotypes would help people rethink their behaviours.

“A big one is talking about (people with a disability) while they’re there,” he said.

“I think people have an idea of how they should be around people with a disability without

consulting them about it.”

Karingal St Laurence commissioned the film and the organisation’s Ben Flynn said it “brought the idea to life” to create opportunities for its clients.

“We’re just stoked we’ve been able to have been part of something that’s been pretty awesome.”

Winter forecast off mark UNDER THE WEATHER

One crime-filled hour a shocker Police arrested a 42-year-old Corio man on Sunday afternoon following a spate of armed robberies in one hour that morning.

A man allegedly armed with a gun terrorised staff at four Geelong businesses, Channel 7 reported Sunday night.

Detectives believed the alleged incidents began at local brothel Lorraine Starr early Sunday morning.

They alleged a man then held up a Caltex service station in North Geelong, escaping with an undisclosed amount of cash.

The man allegedly targeted a 7-Eleven on Bacchus Marsh Road and BP on Melbourne Road, both in Corio, shortly after.

The man remained in custody Monday morning and was receiving treatment for a pre-existing medical condition, a Victoria Police spokesperson said.

Police had yet to interview the man or lay charges.

Lindsay Smail A fractionally warmer August has completed a winter also marginally above the 30-year average in Geelong.

The city’s average daily maximum in August was 14.8C, while the average daily minimum of 6.3C, making the month’s temperatures .1C above normal.

The lowest minimum was .7C on 2 August, while the highest maximum was 20.4C on 14 August.

August in Geelong included three minimums below 2C and two days above 20C. The month’s rain was above average across most of the urban area and surrounding districts, with an overall average of 50mm. The latest 30year average is 45.4mm.

August 2017 had 21 rain days.

The rain figures must have surprised the Bureau of Meteorology, which again provided an unreliable three-monthly outlook ahead of winter 2017 in Geelong.

The above-average rain totals left the region’s water supply catchments around 68 per cent of capacity at the end of August, which was better than at the same time last year.

However, forecasts indicate a lower chance of above-average rain in the next three months.

Geelong’s August also had three consecutive days of frost, from the first to third days of the month.

The lowest minimum fell to .7C on 2 August.

The three frost days also brought fogs, which lasted all day on 3 August when the city recorded a maximum of only 8.7C - the month’s lowest maximum since 2005.

Four very windy days arrived in the middle of the month between 11 and 17 August. Maximum gusts in Geelong reached 80km/h on 16 August but 102km/h at Avalon the same day.

But in a month of contrasts, August 2017 included only one thunder/lightning day, which was on 23 August. Three days later, flash flooding

The winning family had a division one winning entry but their contact details were incomplete, so officials had no way of reaching them.

Finally, the winner came forward, but how they will spend their prize will remain a mystery as they chose to remain completely anonymous and celebrate privately.

Tattslotto could not reveal any more about the winners, who purchased their ticket from Corio Village Lotto.

The store’s owner Jacek Karpinskisaid was thrilled to have sold the winning entry.

“We are so excited that the winner has come forward to claim their prize,” he said.

Mum steps up in the fight of her life

By Justin Flynn Amelia Banks was diagnosed with brain cancer five years ago.

Two major surgeries later and an oncologist who told her to get her affairs in order, and Amelia is still here, still fighting and still moving forward.

The 35-year-old Ocean Grove mother of two was living in Perth with her husband Ollie and 35 weeks pregnant when she was told the bad news.

She started feeling weak on the right side of her body, which prompted her to visit her GP and that’s when a tumour was found in her brain.

“I can’t sit down and wallow in self pity - I have a life to live and need to show my kids that life is worth living,” Amelia said.

Amelia’s oncologist told her to get her will in order and “not to go out and get another mort-

gage”. The family - including sons Harry, 6, and Teddy, 4 - left WA and moved back to Amelia’s native Ocean Grove. Five years after being diagnosed, she is still here and still fighting.

“It’s not a sob story, it’s a crappy story, but you have to make the best of it,” she said.

“We want the kids to know that life is worth living.”

“We chose to live in hope, not in fear,” Ollie said.

Amelia and her family will walk in the Walk 4 Brain Cancer event in Melbourne on 12 November.

Deputy to PM’s backflip on jobs

I don’t always stick to my betting limits, but it’s not an issue.

By Luke Voogt Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce has wrongly announced the Federal Government would move jobs from Geelong to a new bio-security lab in Darwin.

Mr Joyce told a media conference in Darwin on Friday the $3.5 million lab would see work relocated, a claim his own office contradicted on Tuesday.

“This facility at Berrimah will help replace some of the work we’re currently doing in Geelong,” the Federal New England MP said.

“So we’re moving jobs and work from Melbourne to Darwin, that’s a good outcome for the North.”

Corio MP Richard Marles described the correction as a “massive credibility gap” between the Agriculture Minister and his ministerial office.

“And that gap hasn’t been explained,” he said.

“Yesterday’s words have raised more questions than answers.

“This is a Minister that clearly has no idea about our regional city and ignores that fact that we are absolutely not part of Melbourne.”

Despite the correction, Mr Joyce’s words showed he and his party “don’t care about Geelong”, Mr Marles said.

“I don’t think there’s any mistaking the intent in his original comments. The Deputy Prime Minister was cheering about a loss of jobs in Geelong.”

“In Barnaby Joyce’s mind Darwin is more important than Geelong - that is the only conclusion you can draw.”

Mr Joyce’s office stated Tuesday the Federal Government would not move jobs from the Australian Animal Health Laboratory in Geelong to the biosecurity lab in Darwin.

The new lab would not impact on the workload at the Geelong laboratory given the projected increase in the need for biosecurity diagnostic testing, a spokesperson said.

Letters Thanks for a record result On behalf of Geelong Chamber of Commerce I wish to express our thanks to the Geelong Indy for its outstanding coverage and support of the 2017 Powercor Geelong Business Excellence Awards.

This year the chamber achieved record nominations and entries for the awards, many of which were first-time entrants.

The awards culminated with 600 people attending a gala presentation dinner at The Pier on 17 August 17. The chamber congratulates all the Geelong region businesses who were finalists and winners.

The Geelong Indy’s 24-page feature the morning after the awards ceremony was extremely well received by all.

A day for unity, not hate In last week’s edition Vicky Grosser said “community discussion and consultation” should decide whether Australia Day should move dates.

Two Melbourne councils that ditched Australia Day for an Aboriginal smoking ceremony are run by extreme socialists who didn’t consult ratepayers. They instead consulted special interest groups, only 60 per cent of which wanted the day changed.

Many Aboriginals have denounced this socialist campaign as divisive and hateful but are ignored because they don’t fit socialists’ stereotype.

There were many massacres of Aboriginals as white settlement expanded but early historians also noted the savagery and misogyny of Aboriginal men, who mistreated their women badly.

Watkin Tench, a British officer on the First Fleet, wrote of an Aboriginal woman “covered by contusions, and mangled by scars”. She had a spear wound above the left knee caused by a man who dragged her from her home to rape her.

“They are in all respects treated with savage barbarity; condemned not only to carry the children but all other burthens they are met in return for submission only with blows, kicks and every other mark of brutality,” he wrote.

Both races are guilty of historic atrocities, so the left should stop trying to divide us by race with vile hate.

Leftists should remember Martin Luther King’s words: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character”.

Peter Rees Bell Park

Debate’s history, so keep the date In regard to Vicky Grosser’s suggestion to change Australia Day, this issue requires no discussion.

Australia Day should remain 26 January.

In regard to council holding discussions on this matter, it is not what they are paid to do.

Council’s role is to look after and fix services in their designated regions.

We cannot change our history, so we should embrace how far we have come and how good is our nation.

Lions rule natives of City Hall The two revamped lions at City Hall happened to read Double Take on 25 August and asked me to pass on the following report.

Back in 1855 12 designs were submitted for a Town Hall. The winner was named Vox, Latin for voice or vocals.

We think that was a good choice for a place with a lot of hot-air around.

The building’s second stage was opened in 1917. When it came to embellishments and guardians, thoughts returned to the Latin, and strong, loud-mouthed lions were chosen because no native species filled the bill.

Our lion ancestry comes from Africa or India but traditionally we are descended from the stiffupper-lipped heraldic English lions. Also lacking suitably regal animals, the Brits adopted a brace of lions for their deemed superiority to a pair of badgers.

We lions at City Hall are reclining lions with a friendlier facade than our rampant relatives. And 16 GEELONG INDY Friday, 8 September, 2017

Richard Sykes Bell Park

Opinions differ but dignity always We in Geelong Interfaith Network know from our experience that within each particular religion and faith community there may be a range of opinions about certain matters, not least about the proposed same-sex marriage survey.

Some people of faith have the traditional understanding of marriage, while others are happy for the Marriage Act to be changed so consenting adults can marry.

Some would prefer that same-sex relationships be recognised in law but not called marriage.

Some believe that for members of their faith community, homosexual practice is unacceptable, while others believe it is acceptable in the context of a stable, committed relationship.

All of us in our network would urge that all LGBTIQ people be treated with dignity and not marginalised, harassed, persecuted or discriminated against.

We would advocate that in the current debate all opinions be aired freely, in a civil respectful manner, with no one side distorting or demonising the views of the other.

No trust in stadium management During last week’s G21 stakeholders forum at RACV’s Torquay golf resort, federal opposition leader Bill Shorten alluded to the fact that the ALP might fund two G21 priorities: Simonds Stadium redevelopment completion and a Geelong convention centre.

One wondered why the forum and its spend wasn’t granted to Simonds Stadium, which is now quite capable of hosting large conferences, and into the foreseeable future a jobs-providing convention centre.

While it makes commercial sense to complete the stadium’s upgrade, it’s also the turn of federal governance to provide completion funding.

Having said that, equitable usage issues remain outside the AFL season.

Kardinia Park Trust, put in place to manage and to act as a conduit for the stadium’s broader usage, hasn’t to date worked, with token events just another form of maintaining the status quo.

Additionally, the moribund state of the trust in its short period of operation has seen two changes of chair and two of CEO. Added to the inertia and inaction, Sports Minister John Eren recently intervened and put in place a sub-committee to enable GFL finals to be played at the stadium.

Until such time as music, arts, other codes of football and cricket are provided with a definitive, unencumbered November-to-March roster, Simonds Stadium will remain an underperforming public asset.

The reformer and evangelist John Wesley advocated temperance against the social evils of strong drink but himself took ale with meals and forbade the commerce of alcohol to Methodists of the day.

This was the origin of a covenant banning the manufacture or sale of alcohol on all the titles of the Ocean Grove 1887 subdivision.

The Ocean Grove covenant against liquor was ably defended at the Supreme Court in 1924 by Robert Menzies, later prime minister.

Recently City of Greater Geelong issued a liquor licence as a challenge opposing the covenant. In spite of the views of the City, VCAT ruled the covenant valid but unenforceable owing to the passing of time.

We now need Ocean Grove to join with eastern suburbs of Melbourne, where all applications for liquor licensing are decided by a liquor commission local referenda of the community.

The practice has resulted in liquor approved with meals but not otherwise.

The process requires the request of the community, council assent and parliamentary approval.

This would be an excellent question for council candidates, promoting local affairs decided by local people and defending the temperance heritage of old and new community members of Ocean Grove.

Bringing peace and comfort The Liberal party has promised an additional $140 million over four years to palliative care should the coalition return to state government next year.

It has been welcomed by Palliative Care Victoria (PCV), which is currently petitioning for additional funding.

It is a vital announcement for an ageing population: 40,000 Victorians die annually and PCV believes at least a quarter don’t get the palliative help they need.

This funding will provide that to another 8000 people across the state. It is support that’s not only needed but wanted.

Palliative care is an extraordinary service for the terminally ill, helping them move with dignity toward their end of life.

It helps the patient and their family, physically and emotionally.

It is a respectfully humble service provider in an increasingly flashy medical world.

The word ’palliative’ itself sounds like another term in a medical dictionary most of us don’t understand.

But what it really means is being there, doing the things that are needed for people who are no longer capable of looking after themselves.

It is a respectful, warm and caring support.

It can involve nurses or doctors visiting a patient’s home to tend to medical and pharmacy needs, or carers to look after bathing and eating requirements or household management. Carers can even stay overnight.

Most importantly, it enables people to stay in the peace, comfort and familiarity of own homes at their end of life.

That is the golden aim.

Princess through the Lyons lens

By Luke Voogt A Geelong photo exhibition is celebrating the life of Princess Diana, 20 years after her death on 31 August, 1997.

The exhibition is Geelong former paparazzo Darryn Lyons’ tribute to the “Queen of Hearts”.

“I think the world of her,” he told the Indy.

“She was the People’s Princess for a reason she changed the royal family forever.”

From “land mines to leprosy” the former mayor was fascinated with Diana’s charity work and her connection with the people.

“The way she identified with the common person was incredible even though she had such amazing background,” he said.

“She upset the political establishment which is another thing I like about the Princess of Wales.”

Lyons will donate the proceeds of the exhibition to the Cotton On Foundation in honour of the late princess’ charity work.

“She made so many people’s lives better,” he said. “She changed the world’s focus on leprosy.”

Princess Diana was also famous for her work with AIDs victims and landmine removal in Africa. Cotton On Foundation supports similar projects on the continent.

“They’ve been quite a big help in the Geelong community too,” Lyons said.

Lyons said the exhibition would show Diana “as a person” with her boys William and Harry.

“There have been so many iconic pictures of Diana.”

The exhibition featured Lyons’ favourite snap of the princess, which showed her perched on a diving board looking “a million dollars”.

But the photo also “showed her vulnerability with so much power,” he said.

Mr Lyons hoped the Diana: The Queen of Hearts - 20 Years On exhibition, which opened at The Elephant Castle on 31 August, would raise $10,000 for the Cotton On Foundation.

QUEEN OF HEARTS: One of the iconic photos featuring in Darryn Lyons’ Princess Diana exhibition.

A previous exhibition at the venue raised $8000 for beyondblue.

Lyons has a photo of the princess following the accident that killed her, which he decided not to publish.

“As far as I’m concerned, it’s in very safe keeping,” he said. “I have no need to change my intentions from 20 years ago.”

But he hinted he may one day reveal the picture for historic purposes.

“One day there may be a time but certainly not at the moment,” he said. “(Diana’s death) is one of the greatest pieces of history of our time. You can’t stop an image of history.”

The Bieber feel: Aydan Calafiore

By Justin Flynn

INDUSTRY LEGACY: Deakin University’s #VacantGeelong project team Cameron Bishop, David Beynon, Diego Fullaondo, Mirjana Lozanovska and Anne Scott Wilson.

Exhibition captures industrial legacy Six artists and a Deakin University team have combined to evoke the memories of Geelong’s industrial legacy at a National Wool Museum exhibition.

Iconic Industry runs at the museum until 1 October, and is a part of the #VacantGeelong project concentrating on the buildings and sites of Geelong’s de-industrialisation.

The project focused on thousands of acres of land and the often overlooked beauty of industrial buildings, museum director Padraic Fisher said.

“Don’t just see #VacantGeelong - experience it.

“Come to the National Wool Museum and immerse yourself in an industrial heritage place where the contemporary world collides with the human endeavours of the past.”

The exhibition features the work of artists Sarah Duyshart, Robert Mihajlovski, Bindi Cole Chocka, Merinda Kelly, Amanda Shone and Alex Hamilton.

The artists and Deakin team engaged the lo-

cal community and past Ford workers to bring the sounds, views and atmosphere Geelong’s industrial legacy to life.

They aimed to celebrate the history and community memories of Geelong’s iconic industrial buildings before they were adapted for re-use, said project leader Mirjana Lozanovska.

“The Iconic Industry works provide a platform for us to understand and value the industrial legacy of Geelong and provide a way to go forward through this phase of deindustrialisation.”

Deakin University’s #VacantGeelong project received $10,000 in funding through the City of Greater Geelong’s Community Arts Grants Program.

“The City of Greater Geelong is thrilled to support the #VacantGeelong project,” said manager of arts and culture Kaz Paton.

“The Iconic Industry exhibition is a captivating celebration of Geelong’s industrial past.”

Aydan Calafiore is a young man on the rise.

The 16-year-old is currently portraying Justin Bieber in a tribute show - The Bieber Experience - that brings him to the Sphinx Hotel in Geelong on 28 September.

Aydan got his big break at the tender age of 12 on Australia’s Got Talent, where he reached the semi-final stage.

It will be the first time Aydan has performed in Geelong.

“I’ve been performing since I was seven, and one of my good friends who I’ve done acting classes with, she recommended me for the audition,” he said.

“I was really lucky, but I was also well prepared. I know every single word of every single Justin Bieber song.”

So how does an almost 17-year-old handle the screams of teenage girls when he is on stage?

“I’m used to it as it’s pretty much all I’ve known since I was 12,” he said.

“It’s pretty normal for me now, but I had people asking me ‘how does it feel to have comments on your Instagram from people you don’t even know?’ and I’m like ‘well, it’s a great feeling to know that people are interested in what I do’.”

Concertgoers to The Bieber Experience can expect a full-on experience.

“It’s going to be awesome,” Aydan said.

“We have some amazing dancers who are there to support me and big screens. We’ll do 12 songs and then a meet and greet afterwards. I’m really looking forward to getting to Geelong and putting on a show.”

Aydan Calafiore will play Justin Bieber at the Sphinx.

The Bieber Experience is a fully choreographed extravaganza that includes Bieber hits such as ‘Sorry’, ‘Beauty and a Beat’, ‘Baby’, ‘Despacito’ and ‘Love Yourself ’.

Aydan will meet his fans after the show, and assured that nobody would miss out.

Aydan Calafiore will perform The Bieber Experience live at the Sphinx Hotel on Thursday 28, September.

Doors open at 10am and tickets are available at $18 for ages three and above. See www.sphinxhotel.com.au/events for more info.

Warming wool art display An exhibition featuring emerging international fashion designers opened at the National Wool Museum today.

The Art of Wool touring exhibition comes to Geelong direct from the New England Regional Art Museum, NSW, and runs until 19 November.

The exhibition’s artworks depict all aspects of the wool industry from prized sheep and shearing sheds to farm work and hand-knitting.

It features an extensive collection of Australian art including paintings by Sydney Long, Thomas Cooper, Blamire Young and Emily Kame Kngwarreye.

Each artwork emphasises the role of wool in the artistic and design imagination of Australia from the 19th century until the present day, museum director Padraic Fisher said.

“Sheep and wool have provided inspiration to generations of Australian artists.”

“The pairing of garments with wool-inspired artwork creates a visual dialogue between art and fashion, a fusion that enhances both garments and artworks in unique and unexpected ways.”

The exhibition also highlights the wool’s fashion properties with avant-garde fashion garments from the International Woolmark Prize archive at The Woolmark Company.

The garments include the work of 2013/’14 International Woolmark Prize winner Rahul Mishra and emerging Australian designers Alistair Trung, Christopher Esber, Dion Lee, Ellery, Magdalena Velevska and Strateus Carlucci.

“The National Wool Museum is very fortunate to be working with The Woolmark Company in presenting this exhibition in the Geelong region,” Fisher said.

“The company’s gorgeous International Woolmark Prize garments present new relationships between art and fashion design that add to an understanding of the place of wool in the artistic imagination.”

Angelic voices at the city’s basilica “Angelic” voices will take flight when Geelong’s one and only chamber choir performs at the city’s basilica next Sunday.

Helen Seymour and husband Tom Healey began the Vox Angelica Geelong Chamber Choir in 2012 before moving to Brimlea in 2014.

“We chose the choir on their ability to blend,” she said. “We’ve got some fine musicians in it with some lovely, pure voices.”

What started as an octet of women’s voices grew into a 20-person choir of soprano, alto, tenor and bass.

“They’re very keen singers who wanted to be in a fine choir, and they’re very happy to put in the effort,” Helen said.

The experienced 20-person choir will give voice to their new concert Do I love you more than a day?

Love is a fitting theme for the choir, given Helen and Tom have shared their passion for music with son Tom, who performs alongside them.

“Our daughter was in the choir, too, but she’s moved to America,” Helen said. “All our children are very musical.”

The concert features the music of prolific composers such as Pearsall, Weelkes, Schumann, Vaughan Williams Minchin, Rorem and Whitacre.

The choir’s Jane Bashiruddin said the 17 September concert would explore “the complexity and simplicity of love throughout the centuries”.

FURRY FASHION: Senior curator Georgia Melville with a design featuring in a new National Wool Museum exhibition. 172575 Picture: REBECCA HOSKING An illustrated catalogue will provide further insights for exhibition visitors into the the garments and artworks.

It includes essays by fashion historian Associate Professor Margaret Maynard, artist and academic Adam Geczy and art historian Christine France OAM.

The Art of Wool exhibition is supported by the Australian Government through the Department of Communications and the Arts’ Visions of Australia program.

The National Wool Museum officially launched the festival on Thursday night.

Caught on camera Standby has all facets of security covered for shops and homes alike, Angelo says.

The company has a multitude of electronic products like alarms, fog cannons and cameras, and specialises in security guards and mobile patrols.

“What makes Standby Security stand out against our competitors is our superior service and technology.”

As criminals get smarter so does Standby’s technology, Angelo says.

“It is this approach that ensures Standby Security delivers clients the exact security solution they are looking for.

“We are very, very passionate in the community and in all the communities that we operate our businesses.”

Standby’s showroom is located at 400 La Trobe Terrace, Newtown, opposite Geelong Football Club.

Too often people neglect to protect their most important asset - their home - says Standby Security managing director Angelo Kakouros. “(When) building a home a lot of people overlook security,” he says.

“It’s probably the last thing on their mind but it should be the first thing they think about.”

But Standby’s state-of-the-art showroom makes it easy for new homeowners to check out the latest technology to protect their house and family.

Standby’s point of difference is video and camera verification to catch crims in the act.

“When an alarm system triggers it captures video and images,” Angelo says.

“It sends that information straight to our grade one monitoring station and straight to your smartphone.”

Angelo established the business at age 21, has nearly three decades of industry experience and knows security inside and out.

WHAT’S NEW

Bright sparks are welded to the art Geelong’s own masters of metal Steel Art Australia sells sculptures not products, according to the company’s Bianca McConnell.

“We’re not into mass producing pieces,” she says.

“If you need something custom-designed, we’re the place to come to.”

The steel artists recently moved to their new North Geelong centre in Lillian Street, which has ample parking and rear access.

“We’ve got an outdoor area now where you can see it all on display,” Bianca says.

“Customers can see what it would look like in their backyard.”

The 35-year-old has been selling metallic art for about a decade with husband Daniel.

“I’ve been landscaping since I was 15 because my parents own a nursery,” she said.

“I did that until I married my husband who’s a boiler maker.”

But last year Bianca joined her husband in creating sculptures, too.

“I decided about last year to pick up the welder myself and get a feel of what it’s like,” she says.

“I started loving it and creating my own sculptures. You can be a welder but it’s a different story being a metal artist - you’ve either got it or you haven’t.”

The company’s second-year apprentice, Bradley Jones, also has “the flare”, she says.

Steel Art Australia has designed a variety of pieces like flowers, military remembrance murals and even a T-rex.

“People come to us with an idea and a picture

Australia-first Fitmats are a fun and challenging new way to work out at Splash Swimming School.

Pool floats fun and fitness program

Steel Art Australia’s Bianca McConnell shows her metal mastery. and we bring it to life,” Bianca says.

“Seeing the person’s face when they pick up something they’ve ordered makes the job special.”

Young swimmers and their families are putting their balance to the test in a fun, Australia-first workout at Splash Swimming School.

The Breakwater pool has been running its new Fitmat exercise for the past three weeks, says owner Kylee Clasper.

“Splash is currently the only place in Australia to run classes on Fitmats with a qualified teacher,” she says.

“It’s a complete core work out, based on Pilates and yoga. It’s low impact, and it improves muscle strength and balance.”

The Fitmats are firm, inflatable boards which balance on the pool while the participants go through their exercises.

“It’s like a lilo but non-slip and tethered to the poolside,” Kylee says.

“You’ve got to use your balance and all your

core movements to work everything.“ The classes are designed for adults but are suitable for boys and girls 10 years and up.

“It’s an activity that mothers, fathers and their kids can do together,” Kylee says.

Several mothers describe the workout as fun and challenging on Splash’s Facebook page.

“The feedback we’ve had has been absolutely fantastic,” Kylee says.

And with the pool at 33 degrees Celsius, locals can stay nice and toasty all year round.

“Bookings are essential as we have six mats at the moment,” Kylee says.

“We are looking at doing Splash Fitmats at our Portarlington site as well.”

Fitmat classes run on a Wednesday at 2pm, 6.15pm and 7pm at Splash Swim School Breakwater.

This tyre team’s pumped to help keep your grip on the road

• Automotive • Industrial • Marine

With 40 years in the business, Barwon Tyre Centre’s Graeme McMahon has its customers’ tyre needs covered.

Graeme has watched the industry evolve to offer the large variety of brands and types available today.

“I’ve seen plenty of changes in the tyre industry in that time,” he said.

“We used to have five manufacturers in Australia. There are 40 different brands now - if not more.”

Graeme purchased Barwon Tyre Centre eight years ago and works beside his son Luke, who has followed in his footsteps since the age of 14.

“He’s done a mechanical apprenticeship so he can do both the tyre and mechanical side of things,” Graeme said.

Graeme said he takes the time to find out his customers’ requirements and financial situation.

He has everything from “entry level” to top brand tyres.

The company also does mechanical work, including major and minor services.

“The personalised service is what we pride ourselves on,” he said.

“A lot of our customers are repeat business and we get to know them by their name.”

Graeme, 56, hopes his son can take over the family owned business when he retires.

“But only if he behaves himself,” he joked.

The business has sponsored Camp Quality for eight years and supports the Belmont Lions Football Club and the Belmont and Highton bowls clubs.

Graeme is also keen “help the local schools” by with work experience and currently employs a local apprentice.

The Barwon Tyre Centre offers a courtesy car service.

By Ewan Kennedy, Marque Motoring Just in time for the southern spring, MercedesAMG will import its high-performance GT in open-top Roadster format.

In a traditional manner it uses a soft top - a high quality, triple layer fabric roof.

This stores neatly using a Z-fold arrangement behind the seats.

The roof can be opened and closed in just 11 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h.

Like the existing AMG GT Coupe, the GT Roadster has a powerful V8 front mid-engine.

A torque tube connects the engine to an AMG seven-speed transaxle at the rear for a close to perfect weight distribution of 47:53 per cent.

Revisions to the engine will be seen not only in the Roadster but also added to the Coupe.

The AMG GT Coupe gains 10 kW (to 350 kW) of power and 30 Nm to (630 Nm). The AMG GT S Coupe received an extra 9 kW (to 384 W) and 20 Nm (to 670 Nm).

In an interesting facelift adds the ‘Panamericana grille’ along with styling enhancements to the front apron and air intakes. It certainly looks different.

The standard Mercedes-AMG GTs (if ‘standard’ is the right description…) will be joined in Australia by the redhot AMG GT R Coupe.

The demonstration session of this 430kW/700Nm AMG monster set a new production car record of two minutes 16.5 seconds during the weekend of the 12-hour race at Mount Panorama in February 2017.

Open-top enjoyment is made comfortable by a ‘draught stop’ wind deflector and heated seats.

A 10-speaker Burmester surround sound system and Mercedes' COMAND Online multimedia system add to the package The AMG GT C Roadster not only delivers more output and torque (410kW and 680Nm), it also impresses with numerous technical high-

lights from the AMG GT R Coupé for even more dynamic performance.

Like the AMG GT R, the AMG GT C Roadster is recognisable by its wide, muscular rear end and large wheels. Other technical measures include active rear axle steering.

Positioned between the AMG GT S and AMG GT R Coupe models, the AMG GT C Roadster incorporates standard features including AMG Performance seats and steering wheel, both in nappa leather.

Again on the comfort side, it has heated and ventilated seats as well as AirScarf neck level heating.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the the high-performance AMG organisation, now called Mercedes-AMG, a special ‘Edition 50’ version of the newly arrived AMG GT C Coupe has been created.

It features the AMG interior Night Package, Edition 50 detailing in the head restraints and steering wheel bezel, quilted nappa leather upholstery, AMG trim elements in black chrome, LED high performance headlamps and black chromed exterior highlights.

It sits on either 19 or 20-inch AMG crossspoke forged wheels and a choice of two ‘designo’ paint colours - graphite grey magno or cashmere white magno.

The enlarged and enhanced Mercedes-AMG GT range is scheduled to arrive downunder in October.

SPORT Anglers opting for freshwater ON THE BITE Chris Pitman

Dangerfield’s 200th set to be a right royal affair

Chris Pitman STAR: Patrick Dangerfield prepares at Simonds Stadium on Wednesday for the Richmond clash. 172459 (Rebecca Hosking) was how he pulled up.

“We trained again today and he just looked normal to us.

“He’ll play unless something drastic happens that no one is predicting.“ V/Line is running two special services from Waurn Ponds to Richmond station for the game.

There is a 4.50pm and 5.28pm from Waurn Ponds, which gets to Richmond at 6.14pm and 6.58pm respectively.

Similarly, V/Line trains to Waurn Ponds leave Richmond station after the game at 10.48pm, 10.59pm and 11.10pm.

Thousands of trail runners take a long line locally More than 2200 trail runners will compete in two “huge” events on the Surf Coast this weekend, according to the company organising the events.

The competitors would compete in the Surf Coast Century ultra-marathon on Saturday before Anglesea hosted race four of The Trail Running Series, Rapid Ascent said.

“The sixth edition of the Surf Coast Century will start and finish in Anglesea, and features a 100km off-road course that takes competitors along the beaches, 4WD tracks and hinterland walking trails in the Anglesea, Torquay and

Aireys Inlet areas,” the company said.

“The 100km race event starts at 5.30am … and will involve over 1100 runners from around Australia and overseas who can participate in either the 100km and 50km, solo and relay team events.”

Rapid Ascent expected a similarly sized field the following day at Angelsea.

The Trail Running Series round would feature “shorter, more-accessible races of 8km, 15km and 23km in length as well as a 1.9km Kids’ Run”, the company said.

“We encourage the general public to cheer on

the runners if you see them, and also be aware of the course markings on pathways, trails, and beach stairways across the Surf Coast this weekend, and we thank you for sharing the trails with the runners.”

The two events generated a direct economic impact of $3.6million to the Surf Coast economy in 2016, Rapid Ascent said.

“With entries being up around 20 per cent in 2017, we expect the impact to be even higher this year, cementing the races one of the region’s premier events.”

Star Geelong midfielder Patrick Dangerfield will play his 200th game tonight.

Dangerfield played 154 games for the Adelaide Crows and has lined up for the Cats 45 times.

The Cats take on Richmond at the MCG in a qualifying final. The winner will progress straight to the preliminary final while the loser will host the winner of tomorrow’s Sydney vs Essendon game.

A blockbuster crowd of around 95,000 is expected for tonight’s game, which starts at 7.50pm.

Geelong has won its last 13 games against the Tigers including a 14-point win in round 21 at Simonds Stadium. The Cats were missing a host of stars for that clash, but still found a way to win.

Dangerfield has never played in a grand final.

“After you have been in the system a number of years then you realise there are only so many opportunities that you might get at it, so when you do have them you have got to make sure that you grab them with both hands,“ Dangerfield said.

Most footy followers are hoping for a direct match-up between the game’s best two players Dangerfield and Tiger star Dustin Martin.

“The challenge for us as a side is to nullify his impact,“ Dangerfield said of Martin.

“He’s one player and they have 21 others who will take to the field Friday night and that has been the reason for their success this year. It hasn’t just been one player so we have to be very wary of the other players they have in their side.“ Geelong coach Chris Scott declared skipper Joel Selwood a certain starter after sustaining an ankle injury in round 20 that required surgery.

Scott confirmed Selwood would take the field against the Tigers in the sell-out blockbuster at the MCG, barring a late setback.

“I’m really confident now. I’m happy to say this for the first time that he’ll play,“ Scott told Fox Footy on Monday night. “(We were) really confident last week without being sure. (We) wanted to see a little bit of the match practice on Saturday and then the big test

Freshwater locations offered anglers relief from challenging fishing conditions over the past week.

Stony Creek Reservoir attracted anglers seeking brown trout. Long casts with spoon-type lures allowed to sink to the bottom was the most productive technique.

Redfin were snapped up along the weedier sections on spoon lures or soft plastics, while bait fishing with worms on running sinker rigs accounted for brown trout to just on 1kg.

Wurdee Boluc Reservoir again lived up to its reputation as The Lake of 1000 Cats, giving up the odd brown and rainbow trout to 2kg for anglers employing long casts.

Further west, the crater lakes continued hosting some of Australia’s premier trout fishing.

Lake Purrumbete produced a wide variety of species, with keen anglers boating brown, brook and rainbow trout, Chinook salmon and redfin. Trolling lures along the east bank at first or last light worked well, while casting shallowing-diving hard-body lures around the weed banks or fishing mudeyes suspended under floats caught fish during daylight hours.

Trout season opened on the rivers last weekend, with anglers having a ball landing hard-fighting stream trout from the Rubicon and Goulbourn rivers. Closer to home, streams throughout the Otways held small brown trout.

Saltwater anglers found the going tough, amid gale-force winds. Corio Bay again provided enough shelter for anglers casting soft plastic from the waterfront to catch a few Australian salmon.

Anglers drifting in the bight off Queenscliff with baited jigs caught squid. A runin tide or clean water was preferable.

Queenscliff Harbour produced salmon and the odd silver trevally for soft-plastics anglers.

The Barwon River estuary also provided shelter for anglers to cross paths with whiting, trevally, mullet and small salmon. Pippies on running sinker rigs was very effective.

Northerly winds allowed anglers to pitch lures from local surf beaches.
