Leaders awarded

By Kath Gannaway

Australia Day 2018 Young Citizen of the Year, Warburton's Hannah Mahoney is a community dynamo. 177114 challenging stereotypes around race and gender.

Hannah said she was surprised but 'pretty chuffed' to receive the award which she hoped would inspire others to get involved.

"It is about contributing to your community, realising that it is possible and that no matter how old you are there is always a way to do that," she said.

"It's important to find something you are passionate about and go from there.

"I have found that through different volunteering work I've done, I've made friends and

connected with people of all ages, but specifically with kids somewhat around my age who I would not have really talked with otherwise.

"It's interesting to talk to them and find out how they see the world."

Leading up to the awards presentation, Yarra Ranges Mayor, Len Cox, said they were a chance for Council to recognise the people and groups across the municipality who give their time to help others.

"Through these awards, we get to celebrate the people who improve our daily lives and our communities, and thank them for generously

giving their time and skills," Cr Cox said.

He said every person on the award list had been driven by the same goal - to make Yarra Ranges a better place to live.

"Whether it's lending a hand to neighbours or people in need, providing their skills to their local community group or emergency service, or protecting and enhancing our beautiful natural environment, they have succeeded in doing that," he said.

Warburton residents representing both the passion of youth and decades of experience are among residents recognised in Yarra Ranges Council's Australia Day awards.

17 year-old Hannah Mahoney is Yarra Ranges Council's Young Citizen of the Year, recognised for her leadership and community work in Upper Yarra, and John Ridley has been awarded an AM (Member in the General Division of the Order of Australia) in the Australia Day Honours List for his significant service to the community of Melbourne in community development and arts organisations.

They are among a diverse range of people from across the shire who contribute to making their communities a better place in which to live.

The shire awards ceremony took place at Montrose Town Centre on Australia Day (Friday, 26 January) following a citizenship ceremony at which 10 people representing five nationalities became Australian citizens.

Mr Ridley will receive his award insignia at an official investiture in Melbourne.

Healesville environmentalists were also honoured with Bob Anderson, founder and past president of Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeaters, the 2018 Citizen of the Year, and Peter Hannaford, founder of the Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Association, the 2018 Environmentalist of the Year.

Gruyere CFA volunteer, the late Don Bigham was recognised for his outstanding contribution across a number of organisations with the Ian De La Rue Award for Community Leadership.

Hannah, a VCE student at Upper Yarra Secondary College, is a dynamo. Passionate about her community and social causes.

She has been a welcoming face, worker and mentor at the Koha Community Cafe in Yarra Junction for eight years and has recently joined the committee. She mentors primary school children at the Redwood Community Centre, and after identifying a need in young people around her, lobbied the school to adopt the Victorian Government's Safe Schools Program.

Putting her love of animals into action, Hannah shaved her waist-long hair raising $5000 for a vet clinic in Cambodia where she had volunteered in villages and schools in 2016.

She also took part in Council's ROAR 2017 Youth Leadership Program and is fearless in

Australia Day, just ducky!

By Kath Gannaway In the 38-degree heat of Australia Day the Yarra River at Warburton was the ideal spot to celebrate with a dip, a duck and some great prizes as part of the Warburton Rubber Duck Derby.

Launched last year, the event again attracted hundreds of people to the river bank to picnic, dance to the The Rockin' Tones band, enjoy an SES sausage and cheer on their own

little yellow chance at glory in the marathon event that saw hundreds of the bright yellow duckies competing over three exciting heats.

The event was a fundraiser for the Yarra Valley Kayaking Group which runs programs in the river as part of the Melbourne Canoe Club.

Mail photographer Kath Gannaway was at the river to capture all the fun. See more photos mailcommunity.com.au.

Inspiration aplenty from speaker at Rotary breakfast

By Kath Gannaway A heart-warming and inspiring speech by a teenage refugee, a new perspective on the Australia Day date debate, and recognition of one of Wandin's most active community workers, made compelling breakfast conversation at Wandin on Australia Day. Around 200 people attended the annual Rotary Club of Wandin Australia Day Breakfast on Friday, 26 January.

Nadjoua Youssouf, a Year 11 student at Yarra Hills Secondary College in Mooroolbark came to Australia three years ago from Chad in North Africa.

She spoke eloquently of the journey that has seen her family reunited in Australia, and of the experiences that drive her ambition to become a doctor.

"Chad is a very beautiful country and it has a lot of desert, but life can be very difficult for people who live there," she said.

She spoke of her own experience as a sevenyear-old having to leave a hospital untreated because there were not enough doctors and nurses, and of the shocking statistics - 84% of pregnant women HIV positive, and only 46% of women literate.

She spoke of her brothers and sisters who have fulfilled their dreams of getting an education and careers and of the support they have received in Australia.

Nadjoua said she shared her story to say 'thank you' to Australia, and to promote understanding.

"I think by telling our story it may help people understand how refugees can change our lives when we come to Australia, and how good Australia is and how they appreciate that," she said.

Mt Evelyn historian and author, Anthony McAleer, bemoaned "poor old Australia Day" which he said was under siege, attacked and defended on all sides.

He brought a new angle to the podium saying the date was in fact a non-issue as the First Fleet did not arrive on January 26, but some time between the 18th and the 20th.

He touched on the perspectives of the Indigenous community, and others who see the 2 MAIL

"There's no doubting that the journey of the First Fleet is one of history's great voyages of migration and is a might maritime achievement," he said, but said after the arrival the story wains with crops failing, people starving and nearly 50 per cent of the local Aboriginal tribe decimated by small pox.

Anzac Day is its own day, and no-one wants to lose the New Year's Day holiday, ruling out the Federation date.

"January 26 is just simply January 26. January 18 is the First Fleet commemoration," he concluded urging unity on 26 January.

Australia Day recognition

By Kath Gannaway From page 1 Healesville’s Bob Anderson started Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater 28 years ago and as president for 20 of those years led and supported FoHH members in their work across the Yellingbo area.

He has been a driving force for the group, overseeing hundreds of volunteers, donating thousands of hours to the cause of improving habitat for the critically endangered Victorian bird emblem and raising awareness of the bird’s plight.

In partnership with Healesville Sanctuary’s captive breeding program, and the work done in sustaining the birds in the wild, the population of the Helmeted Honeyeater has increased significantly.

“When I look back and see what the organisation has been able to do, the wonderful nursery which now employs five people, our education program, and probably one important example of where we’re going , and what has happened over the years, is that we have two pairs of birds that have produced lots of fledglings in an area where they have not been for many years, and where we have had no influence, such as supplementary feeding.

Peter Hannaford, also from Healesville is likewise not one to relish the spotlight - unless it’s a floodlight on all the volunteers who have contributed to the success of the Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Association.

Over 17 years the centre has raised more than $3 million dollars to purchase reserves including the Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Reserve in north central Victoria, and the Jeanne Wilcox Reserve in Yellingbo, in memory of one of the most dedicated volunteers, who passed away last year.

“It (the award) is a way of saying ‘thank you’ to so many different people and groups who have supported us; all our volunteers and the

Australia Day 2018 Environmentalist of the Year Peter Hannaford with an Australian flag that became a talking point of the unique Judith Eardly Save Wildlife Shop.

people and groups who inspired us,” Peter said.

“Our recipients inspired us to keep working for the environment and thanks to the people who donated to the shop we have been able to make good money to use for wildlife,” he said.

Don Bigham led by example, making him a perfect candidate for the Ian De La Rue Award for Community Leadership.

His legacy was celebrated in January 2017 when more than 1500 people reflected on a man who was a CFA stalwart, including member and former captain of the Gruyere Fire Brigade for more than 55 years, and a valued community worker.

Maureen Halit, a founding member and president of the Millgrove Resident’s Action Group, Warburton’s Lynn Hannam, owner and distributor of Yarra Valley Care Bags that creates care bags for people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or in need of assistance, Ian Townsley, a bagpipe player who has volunteered his services for RSLs and other veteran organisations for more than 30 years and Mount Evelyn CFA volunteer Geoff Brown, each received a Certificate of Recognition for their significant contributions to Yarra Ranges communities.

See more Australia Day award stories and photos online at mailcommunity.com .

His volunteer ‘career’ as a firefighter was exceptional, reflected in numerous awards and life membership of the Gruyere Brigade and the CFA and he was involved in a number of local clubs and organisations.

Much of his community work was as a neighbour and friend.

The Mayor’s Lifetime Achievement Award has gone to Bev McAllister OAM from The Patch for her work with the Dandenong Ranges music Council, the Mooroolbark Umbrella Group (MUG) was recognised as Community Group of the Year and the Ken McIntosh Memorial Award for Young Environmental Achiever of the Year went to Belgrave nineyear-olds Brock and Ben.

Eclectic contribution of community worker recognised

By Kath Gannaway Warburton resident John Ridley has been made a Member of the Order of Australia in the Australia Day Honours List.

John has been recognised for service to the community of Melbourne in community development and arts organisations.

It is a long-standing and eclectic contribution which includes his current roles as convenor and chairman of The Melbourne Forum, chairman of the Australian Tapestry Workshop, and a board member of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and previous involvement in numerous areas including the Children's Protection Society and the Zoological Board of Victoria.

His roots are in the Yarra Valley. His mother Ethel McLaren grew up in Powelltown where her parents had the general store.

Reconnecting with the valley in 1980, he and his late wife Trish had a weekend house in

Warburton. They bought The Chalet nine years later and John said the dream they shared to re-establish the former guest house property as a tourism venture is still there.

It was about that time he also founded Clifton Consulting Group, the Melbourne-based communications strategy company of which he is principal - the work part of his work/life balance!

His membership of Warburton Valley CEDA (Community Economic Development Association) is a current addition to past involvement in local organisations including two terms on Upper Yarra Shire Council and serving on the Eastern Regional Planning Authority, the Dandenong Ranges Garden Trust.

John said his plans to become a lawyer took a different direction through his involvement in international student affairs at university.

"That opened my eyes to international relations and I decided I wanted to get into foreign affairs," he said.

It was a good choice. After a couple of postings he became chief of staff to Foreign Minister Andrew Peacock.

Politics has been an enduring interest, he was president of the National Union of Australian University Students in the '60s and State Director of the Victorian Division of the Liberal Party from 1984 to 1987.

"I want to make a difference; want to contribute, want to learn, to pursue interests and I've been very, very lucky to have had terrific opportunities to do that," he said in answer to what drives him in an already busy life to get involved.

The Australian Tapestry Workshop fulfils the desire to pursue his interest in textile art, and to learn. As chairman, he was at the Shrine of Remembrance earlier this month for the unveiling of the Morning Star tapestry, commissioned by the ATW for permanent display in the Sir John Monash Centre at Villers-Bretonneux in France from April 2018.

Too high for Healesville

By Kath Gannaway The 'V' word once again raised its ugly head in Yarra Ranges Council meeting on Tuesday, 23 January, as councillors were asked to vote on a planning application for a five-level residential/commercial development in Healesville.

"It will be acceptable to my client provided we end up with a permit rather than a VCAT hearing," Simon Merrigan, representing the applicant, told the councillors as he put the case for supporting amended plans.

The council didn't support the recommendation to approve, however, voting seven to one instead in support of Cr Fiona McAllister's alternative recommendation to refuse a permit.

As with a previous application for an Aldi supermarket on the adjoining Maroondah Highway site, in the end it was overwhelmingly about the height of the building.

Aldi ended up in marathon VCAT mediation with an agreed reduction in height sparing both the company and the Council the expense of a full-blown hearing.

Speaking on behalf of objectors, Healesville residents Elaine and Stuart Truman said the massive scale of the building was unprecedented in Healesville and showed a blatant disregard for the vision of the Design & Development Overlay (DDO) which says the maximum height of buildings 'should' be 7.5 metres.

She said one elevation exceeded the DDO by 4.8 metres and was above the Aldi tower.

Other issues raised were the ramp along the front of the building which Mrs Truman said did not meet the required gradient and would need to include two landings to provide access to all the tenancies.

They said there was no roof plan, no clarity around the atrium, no mention of reinstatement of footpath plaques, no landscaping plan

The proposed development site to the left of Maroondah Highway, at the entrance to the town. 177080 and no detail around signage.

"Additional parking adjacent to the bowling club in River Street should remain public spaces," Mr Truman said.

They said most of the issues had been raised at the public consultation in July but had not been addressed.

Mr Merrigan, managing director of development consultants Millar Merrigan, said the design was undertaken with consideration of the Healesville Structure Plan.

"It is a key site and was treated as such by our client and designers. These plans were the subject of extensive community consultation," he said.

He disputed comments about the bulkiness, saying a lot of thought had been put into high quality design and to amendments following the July consultation.

Cr McAllister cited five grounds for refusal

including excessive building scale, inconsistency with neighbourhood character, removal of Elm trees along Maroondah Highway, internal layout of a number of the dwellings which she said was contrary to energy efficiency codes and insufficient onsite parking.

While acknowledging that the application had a number of positives, including provision of housing and utilisation of a highly-visible vacant site, she said at the highest point the building was nearly 13 metres high.

"In this instance the proposal substantially exceeds the DDO and while the DDO says 'should' when it probably should say 'shall' it's not a motherhood statement," she said.

She spoke extensively of the rural character of Healesville and said almost every page of the Healesville Structure Plan makes reference to the heritage and unique character of Healesville.

"I would be supporting this if it were not for

the height issues," she said.

Cr Jim Child however argued that two senior planners and a 'well-known' planning consultancy firm were involved in developing the application which he said had gone through an extensive process of consultation.

"I am just amazed about how we go through this lengthy process which would have cost the applicants some tens-of-thousands of dollars to bring an application into this chamber for it to be just flipped over," he said.

"We have a planning scheme and DDO for these specific areas, they have worked through the appropriate consultative process and we are in this chamber to make decisions."

He said the site was unique and one that suited the proposed development plan.

"I believe the issues raised can be overcome by conditions attached to a permit," Cr Child said.

Man critical after plunge into dam

By Kath Gannaway A 51-year-old Gladysdale man remains in a critical but stable condition in the Alfred Hospital today (Monday, 29 January) after an incident at a dam on a Tarrango Road property on Sunday.

Family and friends of the man were with him at the dam when he failed to surface after going into the water from a water slide at around 12.30pm.

The dam has been a popular swimming spot with locals for a number of years and the man is believed to be a tenant on the property.

Leading Senior Constable Tony Pagels of Warburton Police said when the man didn't surface family and friends went in and pulled him to the shore, commenced CPR and called an ambulance.

Upper Yarra SES members provided shade in the blistering heat while Yarra Junction and Warburton police and then paramedics did CPR, eventually reviving the man who was unconscious when pulled from the water.

A witness at the scene told the Mail it was a distressing situation for everyone at the dam enjoying the water on one of the hottest days of the summer.

He praised the work of the three police officers who he said took turns to do CPR, and the paramedics who he said worked 900% to bring the man back.

"It was an incredible effort by all the emergency services," he said.

"The ambulance just had so many systems in place to try to get him back and they just never gave up."

Heat on at Millgrove

By Kath Gannaway Police from around Yarra Ranges and beyond were on the roads over the Australia Day weekend fulfilling VicPol's promise to 'turn up the heat on irresponsible drivers' as part of Operation Amity.

Yarra Ranges was among the priority areas identified by Road Policing Command Acting Assistant Commissioner Glenn Weir last week taking into account the number of collisions, injuries and volume of trauma in the past.

Members of the Heavy Vehicle Unit from Notting Hill set up at Millgrove, supporting local police who also had units operating as part of the four day operation which focused on speed, distraction, seat belt compliance, fatigue and drink and drug driving.

Using number plate recognition and random pull-overs, the HVU conducted 464 preliminary breath tests and 23 drug tests, issued 22 cars with defect notices and put four unregistered cars off the road.

SES volunteers look over the slide at the Tarrango Road dam.

The man was airlifted to the Alfred Hospital in a critical condition.

SES and police said the incident showed the importance of vigilance around water.

"It highlights the importance of being con-

scious of everyone when you're around dams or any water, to keep an eye on each other, which is what they have done and managed to get this man to shore promptly," LSC Pagels said.

Police from the VicPol Heavy Vehicle Unit test a learner driver and ''teacher'' at Millgrove.

Hey Hey, My My, ride on

By Derek Schlennstedt A new mountain bike trail, named 'Hey Hey My My', is now open in the Yarra State Forest thanks to a collaborative approach from the local bike group Yarra Ranges Mountain Bikers and Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic).

The new trail at Wesburn, near Warburton, will be open to the public from 24 January 2018 and features a climb length of 2.5kms and a decent of 1.8kms.

FFMVic District Manager, Nigel Brennan, said: "This a real win for the community with the Yarra Ranges Mountain Bikers working with FFMVic to develop this trail.

"FFMVic is continuing to work closely with the group and has established a safety and maintenance schedule for the year.

"This is a really good example of how we can work with local community groups to provide and promote activities in the area that people want.

"FFMVic and Yarra Ranges Mountain Bikers will continue to work together to keep the track open, usable and safe. This includes maintaining track features, drainage and removing debris from the trail."

The Yarra Ranges Mountain Bikers President, Doug Greenall, said the new track is a great new community asset and one he looked forward to using.

"The track is graded using the International Mountain Bike Association (IMBA) classification tool and is 'high blue' with 'black diamond' B lines.

"The steep climb contains 35 switch back

Awards for veteran firies

By Kath Gannaway

A new mountain bike trail, named "Hey Hey My My", is now open in the Yarra State Forest in Wesburn and offers various tight turns, and jumps. corners with loose rocky off camber sections.

The average grade of the climb is 8 per cent.

"The descent is a fast and flowy single track with features including jumps, drops, rock gardens, tight corners and steep sections."

If you are interested in a particular activity in the Yarra State Forest, iPhone users can check out the More to Explore App or contact the Powelltown Office on 03 5965 9901.

Yellingbo CFA volunteers Bruce Logan, Neville Sargeant, Gary Nixon, John Christie, Cliff Williams and Sue Williams between them have hundreds of years of service to the CFA. It's a remarkable achievement as a brigade, and an even more remarkable achievement when you look at the individual contributions which were acknowledged with the presentation recently of the National Medal at the brigade's Annual presentation Night.

The National Medal is Australia's most awarded civilian medal, recognising diligent long service to the community in hazardous circumstances, including in times of emergency and national disaster, in direct protection of life and property.

The individual contributions of the six members included exceptional performance on and off the fire front.

In addition to many years of active firefighting in some of the region, state and interstate's most significant fires the recipients have served their brigades and CFA in a variety of official roles at brigade and region.

Don Tomkins Acting Operations Officer for District 13 and CFA Board Member Hazel Clothier presented awards on the night and commended the recipients for their service and their commitment.

"These members bring lot of experience and knowledge of the local area as well as their skill sets into the organisation, and they pass those skills on to other members," Mr Tomkins said.

"These medals are acknowledgement of their dedication to the CFA but also acknowledgement of their families and partners who enable these members to partake in the organisation, having to leave their families at times, and sometimes for days on end, to help others in times of need.

The medals are recognition of their commitment to this organisation, but more importantly, to their community," he said National Medal Clasp recipients were Bruce Logan, Neville Sargeant and Sue Williams.

John Christie, Cliff Williams and Gary Nixon received the National Medal. Service Medals were presented to Andrew George (15 years) and Anthony Straub and Ryan Sargeant (10 years). Jonah Moffatt and Lindsay McKenzie received Service Certificates (5 years).

Yoga is a soul solution “I teach my students to notice,” Emma said.

“By noticing, we are less likely to injure ourselves. Aligning into an asana (posture) with awareness is much more enjoyable for both beginners and regular students.

“Props can also help with alignment. My studio supplies many different props. When holding an asana it’s an opportunity to notice what else is. How do you feel?”

Yoga Yarra Junction offers a range of classes

including general and gentle yoga, yoga for recovery, yoga therapy, mindfulness meditation, iRest yoga, yin yoga as well as parents with bubs yoga.

Before Trilogy triple treat

By Kath Gannaway Director Richard Linklater’s ‘Before Trilogy’ is the brilliant offering of the Yarra Ranges Film Society’s 4th annual Healesville Mini Film Festival.

The festival, which has established a reputation in a very short time for providing a quality day of film indulgence, will be held on Sunday, 4 February, at The Memo in Healesville.

The three films starring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy are made nine years apart; ‘Before Sunrise’ in 1995, ‘Before Sunset’ in 2004 and ‘Before Midnight’ in 2013.

Linklater made an art of films set over the period of just one day and has employed the technique in the ‘Before Trilogy’, incorporating time lapse by shooting the films nine years apart using the same leading actors.

Yarra Ranges Film Society president Keith Wade said it was an exciting trilogy that perfectly suited the festival’s model of bringing significant and connected films by a single director to the screen, including in the past films by directors Ralph De Heer and Iranian director Asghar Farhardi.

In the ‘Before Trilogy’ Linklater’s celebrated three-part romance captures a relationship at various stages over nearly two decades, as Hawke as Jesse, and Delpy as Celine, age along with the characters they are playing.

Mr Wade said the opportunity the festival offers to see all three films on the one day adds a fascinating dimension to experiencing films that are a cornerstone of Linklater’s careerlong exploration of cinematic time.

The films show the emotions between the characters as their relationship matures.

“Seeing these three films on the one day is a rare chance to absorb from the films the full

“Each film leaves you in suspense,” he said.

One of Australia’s most respected film critics, Jake Wilson, will introduce each film and stay on for what has become a popular aspect of the festival, a Q&A session at the end of the day.

The films screen at 9.45am, 1.10pm and 3.10pm with a one-and-a-half hour lunch break to allow film-goers to stretch their legs, speculate on what happens next with Jesse and Celine, and enjoy some of Healesville’s fantastic eateries.

Mr Wade thanked both the Yarra Ranges Council and Healesville Bendigo Bank for their

on-going support of the festival.

Tickets will be available on the day, but with the growing popularity of the festival, and to ensure a ticket to every session, Mr Wade recommends booking online at www.culturetracks.info, or purchasing tickets ahead of the festival from The Memo in Healesville or The Arts Centre at Warburton.

VCE creativity is shown off

By Derek Schlennstedt "The creativity of VCE students from across the Yarra Ranges will be on display in two monthlong exhibitions, through Council's annual VCE Showcase.

The 11th annual showcase will feature an exhibition at Mooroolbark Community Centre's Red Earth Gallery, opening at 6pm on Thursday, 15 February, and another at Burrinja Gallery opening the following night.

Yarra Ranges Mayor, Len Cox, said the exhibition was a chance to celebrate the work of talented young artists from local schools, who created pieces in painting, drawing, photography and mixed media.

"Every year, we see incredible artworks made by homegrown artists on display at the VCE Showcase, and this year will be no different," Cr Cox said.

"The works on display are as vibrant and diverse as the people who make up our community, and there are plenty of different works to see.

"I encourage everyone to come along to this wonderful event, and drop in on the opening night to see the artists with their works."

Artist Tahlia Hayes' work, To Be Human, explores the rituals that govern people's day to day lives through photographs. mailcommunity.com.au

"Whether we realise it or not, we as humans rule our lives with rituals and habits," Ms Hayes said.

"They are the processes that bring us comfort and familiarity and a sense of order to our lives. Although fundamental, they can remain private and can be looked over.

"With this work, I aim to show the viewer the beauty of ritual and, as a result, the beauty of being human."

Past participants in the showcase are taking part in an alumni program, where they curate and manage the exhibitions, receive professional development and are paid for their work.

The Mooroolbark exhibition will house work from 22 2017 art and studio art graduates from Billanook College, Lilydale Heights College, Little Yarra Steiner School, Mount Lilydale Mercy College, Yarra Hills Secondary College and Upper Yarra Secondary College. The exhibition will open from 6pm on Thursday, 15 February, and close on 17 March.

The Burrinja exhibition will host 27 artists from Belgrave Heights Christian School, Emerald Secondary College, Mater Christi College, Mountain District Christian School, Sherbrooke Community School and Upwey High School. The exhibition will open from 6pm on Friday, 16 February, and close on 19 March.

In The Greatest Showman, American showman P.T. Barnum (played by Hugh Jackman, a gifted showman himself ) rises from rags to riches through charisma and a keen instinct for show-business, only for hubris to bring down his entertainment empire.

Unfortunately, the film’s plot is severely unfocused, and Barnum’s development unravels in the climax.

For a film that espouses the self-respect and sense of community that Barnum supposedly gave the 'freaks’ in his circus show, it feels pretty disingenuous how very few of these performers have any meaningful characterisation - and the film glosses over the real Barnum’s frequent gross exploitation of his performers.

Barnum’s eventual reconciliation with his performers, after side-lining them in favour of opera singer Jenny Lind (Rebecca Fergu-

son), feels unearned, as there is little sense of Barnum learning from his mistakes.

While impressively staged, most of the musical numbers feel rather repetitious or even contrived. Jenny’s soaring ballad about all the fame in the world being ’never enough’, which reflects Barnum’s greediness to his own momentary shock, rings hollow when you realise that Barnum would have had to approve the song before her performance.

The pacing is uneven, rushing through large tracts of Barnum’s life and offering easy solutions for his financing and romance woes, and the ending flip-flops between Barnum reviving the circus for the sake of his performers and letting it go to raise his family.

Despite its lavish presentation and perfectly-cast star, The Greatest Showman is a regrettable dud.

Finals in focus - for some

By Chris Anderson The run to finals has begun.

With the trials of crossover games and a season full of one day matches - fixtured or otherwise - finished, the teams in the Yarra Valley are now fully focused on the run home.

Each of the top two grades now begins a run of two day-games within their respective divisions in preparation for the business end of the season.

In hot and humid conditions, the cricketers were certainly put under the microscope.

In Strachan Shield action, the most crucial match of the round would be the battle for second place between neighbours WarburtonMillgrove and Yarra Junction.

With both teams desperate to get an early claim on a home final, day one was a war of attrition.

Yarra Junction batted first and worked diligently to post a competitive score.

Once again, Andy Wear gave his team a start, making a useful 30 in front; but his efforts were matched by and excellent opening spell of bowling from David Lever (3/29).

It seemed each time the Eagles would forge ahead, they would be neatly pegged back by some useful bowling.

Condition certainly played their part in wavering concentration levels.

Kevin Bomford (33) and Pat Ford (32) did their best to keep the scoreboard ticking over, but they, too, would fall short of taking advantage and really putting the Burras to the sword.

As is so often the case, the Burras slower bowlers turned the screws, and eventually they busted Yarra Junction's resistance.

Captain Daniel Lever (3/35) led his team from the front in dismissing the visitors for 171 by stumps.

The score is a useful one, and will take some chasing, but one would suggest, with the strength of their batting line up, that the Burras have the pole position in this contest.

Yarra Junction's bowlers have been impressive this season and have answered every challenge.

Early wickets and they could make their total look large, and quickly.

Healesville have enjoyed an up-turn in form, and they travelled to Mount Evelyn in search of keeping their slim finals hopes alive.

The home team asked the Bloods to bat first, and like the previous game, could not take full toll under stifling conditions.

Brenton Damrow has been a regular contributor at the top for Healesville and he rode his luck to give the visitors some chance up front.

His teammates followed suit, but none of them could push through when establishing themselves at the crease.

Mount Evelyn's bowlers were effective at just keeping things tight and biding their until an error was made.

Young Star Dermott Fry (37) threw the gauntlet down to a wilting bowling attack and looked as if he could lift the total to a challeng-

ing level, but eventually the dam wall broke.

Chad Witherdin (2/6) and Luke Jones (2/15) ensured this innings would be wrapped up before it got out of hand, with the Bloods stalling on 123.

All the Mount Evelyn bowlers contributed to an even performance.

With an hour left in the day's play, Mount Evelyn were forced to see off a tricky period of play; one they didn't handle with any great assurance.

After an early season lay-off, Dermott Fry has been a shining light in an otherwise bleak season for the Bloods; and he again took the bull by the horns removing Jesse Fraser and Gareth Fraser in an excellent spell of bowling.

When Matthew Peck followed up with a couple of wickets of his own, the Mounters closed the day teetering at 4/40.

Although still slightly ahead in this contest with a long batting line-up, the home team have their work cut out.

The Healesville bowlers have a week to refresh; and if early wickets come their way, they will be desperate to see the depth of this batting line up.

In the final game of the round, Yarra Glen are in a tough struggle to keep Seville at bay in their clash at Seville.

Yarra Glen can put a mortgage on a top four spot with victory in this game, but Seville were going to be hell bent on making things difficult.

Yarra Glen batted first, and in a familiar trend, just couldn't take full advantage in challenging conditions.

Seville looked to up against it, facing a formidable Riverpigs top order and missing their regular opening bowlers, Matt Hadlum and Mark Stanford, who have been their team's best performers.

That didn't deter the young Blues, and they stuck manfully to the task.

Daniel Healy (3/16) did his bit up front, and gave his side the momentum they required in tough conditions.

Yarra Glen captain Andy Cowan wasn't about to let his team role over, and his innings of 62 avoided embarrassment for the visitors.

Seville would plough on as Tom Page (3/45) ensured there would be no significant tail end fight back.

With progress stalling, Yarra Glen put a close to their innings at 9/145, leaving them with a look at a vulnerable Seville batting line-up.

Corey Parrant has been in some excellent form of late; and when the Riverpigs needed a boost, he delivered once again.

Three quick wickets in a damaging opening spell left the Blues teetering at 4/37 at the close of play.

Seville don't have the luxury of a long batting line up, so their back are up against the wall.

A couple of useful partnerships is all they require to pass the low total, but finding one has been their challenge all season.

In Finger Trophy action, the pick of the games has to be the top of the table clash between Coldstream and Woori Yallock.

These two teams have clearly been the best in the competition and this game looks likely to be a grand final preview.

Coldstream batted first in a day that resembled an old fashioned arm wrestle between bat and ball.

Coldstream batted first, and unlike the other games, they found enough contributors and resilience to bat out their allotted overs.

This was a true team effort as the Crocs found runs throughout the innings.

Paul Harris (33) did his bit up front as the experienced opener he is, Nathan Taylor (53) and Leam Doughty (49) injected some momentum through an excellent partnership, and Dean Oliffe (56*) and Carl Dikshei (28) didn't let things slip through the closing overs.

An expertly constructed innings.

The Crocs finished the day on 8/254, a hefty total.

Woori Yallock possess the top order to challenge this total, but they will need to take a leaf out of the Coldstream book if they are to chase the total.

The first being a preparedness to stick fat for the entire journey.

This score won't be reached quickly.

Gruyere and Wandin look likely to fill the final two places in the top four, and they fought it out at Wandin.

Gruyere batted first and it was captain Jared Carroll (57) who gave his team the early momentum.

From there the innings was a real grind as neither team were looking to relinquish any advantage they had.

Gruyere kept the scoreboard ticking over without any great urgency, while young star Ethan Alderman showed poise beyond his years keeping the Scorpions on a short leash.

Still plying his trade in the juniors on a Saturday morning, Alderman kept his cool while others wilted in the sun.

His brilliant spell of bowling netted 6/25 and ensured his Bulldogs would be left with a chaseable target of 163.

This game could go any way.

Gruyere have the bowlers and early wickets could have them on the road to a vital victory, on the other hand, Wandin possess a destructive top order; and if they are let off the leash, this score could be achieved in the blink of an eye.

Either way, this game is poised for an intriguing conclusion.

MOTORING

Australian motoring history, the Holden Calais.

Calais added to history Australia, on 13 October, 2017.

The vehicle joins the museum’s historic Holden collection, which includes the 1946 Holden Prototype Car No.1, built by American and Australian engineers in Detroit, which became the definitive model for millions of Holden car.

Essington Lewis’s 1948 48-215 model Holden (also known as the FX) is believed to be the first Holden sold commercially.

It was delivered to industrialist Lewis (18811961) on the eve of 24 February, 1949, a day before the first Holdens were released for sale to the general public.

National Museum director, Dr Mathew Trinca, said although it was sad to see the end of local car production, the museum was proud to include the vehicle as part of the story

of car manufacturing in Australia.

“This modern vehicle, which has an Australian-made 3.6l V6 engine and the latest technology, is the perfect bookend to the Museum’s Holden collection, which spans over 70 years,” he said.

“Built for Australian conditions, the robust and economical Holden family sedan captured the public imagination when they first rolled of the assembly line in 1948. Many saw this as evidence of national maturity, proof that Australia had escaped its pastoral beginnings and embraced the modern industrial age,” Dr Trinca said.

By 1958, Holden sales accounted for over 40 per cent of total car sales in this country and one million had been sold by 1960.

Holden Chairman and Managing Director,

Mark Bernhard, said the Calais donated o the museum “celebrates the Holden manufacturing journey and the special place Commodore holds in the heart of many Australians”.

“The pride, passion and quality of workmanship delivered by our people at Elizabeth has meant our last Australian-build cars, including this Calais, with its engine proudly made by Holden at Fisherman’s Bend, and with hundreds of other component drawn from Australian automotive supplies, are the best and most technologically advanced vehicles ever made by Holden in Australia,” Mr Bernhard said.

“There is no finer automobile to sit alongside the 1948 Holden prototype in the museum’s collection. We’re proud to make this donation to celebrate our manufacturing heritage.”

The National Museum of Australia has acquired one of the last vehicles to roll off the Holden production line before the Elizabeth factory closed on 20 October last year, marking the end of Australian-made car manufacturing.

The National Museum is committed to collecting objects for the nation, which represent key elements for Australian society and culture.

Holden unambiguously falls into this category as an iconic brand, which, for decades, has symbolised freedom and independence for millions of Australians.

The Holden Calais, which on Wednesday 24 January joined the museum’s collection, is a four-door sedan manufactured at the General Motors Holden factory in Elizabeth, South
