Lib splits on convention centre site, demands plans

‘Just do it’

By Luke Voogt A coalition MP has broken ranks with his Geelong colleagues over their calls to locate the city’s convention centre at Western Beach.

Debate on the centre’s location was “a bit late” given the State Government had all but decided on its preferred site at Deakin University, Mr Ramsay said.

Federal Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson and State South Barwon MP Andrew Katos recently suggested Western Beach as the alternative to a Deakin University car park.

“If we have ongoing debate of where it is to be built it never will be,” the Member for Western Victoria said.

“I appreciate there are different views on the most appropriate site and any number of politicians have expressed a view, despite the proposed convention centre not being in their electorates.

“My preference would be the conference centre in the botanical gardens which has ample parking, room for a hotel and a Corio Bay vista but again I assume this option had been discarded.“ The State Government refused Mr Ramsay’s calls in parliament yesterday to release the business case for locating the centre at the car park.

“I’ve been advised by Regional Development Victoria that (the business case has) been concluded,” he said.

Geelong mother-of-three Kylie Blackney has fought breast cancer like a super hero, says best friend Sarah Beath.

“We’re calling her Wonder Woman because that’s what she is,” Sarah told the Indy this week.

Kylie had been working between chemo sessions since they began on 8 January but still managed to attend her childrens’ first day of school, Sarah said.

“She’s amazing - she’s so positive about it all. At the moment we’re just doing chemo to see if or how much the tumour shrinks.”

Two weeks before Christmas doctors diagnosed the 36-year-old with stage-three invasive carcinoma, a few months after she gave birth to her third child. When Sarah discovered Kylie had breast cancer she vowed fight it with her.

“My husband passed away last year and my father passed away from cancer when I was 25,” Sarah said.

“I’m thinking, ’I can’t lose you too’. I told her, ‘I’m going to do everything I can to help you’.”

Sarah organised a fundraising day for Kylie, which begins 11am at Bell Park Sport and Recreation Club on 4 March.

“We’ve had quite a few people contact us with offers donations and raffle prizes for the day,” Sarah said.

Sarah set up a Go Fund Me page which had raised more than $2500 on Wednesday afternoon.

IN BRIEF Safety survey “Safe” public spaces are on the drawing board for the precinct around central Geelong’s hospitals amid concerns about the safety of staff.

City Hall has launched an online survey seeking suggestions for the spaces after a 2016 petition with hundreds of signatures called for improved security around car parking areas.

Fire ‘safe’ Firefighters have brought under control a fire in a condenser unit at Anglesea’s former Alcoa power station, according to Vic Emergency.

“The efforts of CFA members” had left the site “safe” almost a day after authorities first issued alerts about the fire, Vic Emergency said.

Premier prize Sacred Heart College student Larissa Zanardo has won a 10-day Premier’s Spirit of Anzac Prize tour to study Australian Word War II sites, MP Gayle Tierney has announced.

The Wandana Heights girl was one of 42 secondary students to win a place on the 2018 tour of locations in Darwin and Singapore, Ms Tierney said.

10 more unmasked as ‘wanted’ caught

By Luke Voogt Geelong residents have helped police arrest two crooks following a name-and-shame campaign which published the head shots ten wanted court-dodgers.

Crime Stoppers today named a further 10 offenders wanted by Geelong police on outstanding arrest warrants for local crimes.

Geelong Inspector Craig Darlow said police were investigating new information from the public after the Indy published images of the ten offenders last Friday.

“The community has been very proactive in coming forward with information to assist in finding the first series of wanted persons,” he said.

Insp Darlow praised everyone who provided information and urged the 18 remaining offenders to turn themselves in.

“We know who you are, the community will tell us where you are,” he said.

The Indy has published the images of a further 10 wanted offenders.

Tyler Graham, 24, failed to appear at Geelong Magistrates’ Court on 25 January 2018 for offences including aggravated burglary, resisting police and multiple driving offences. He is known to frequent Norlane, Whittington and Newcomb.

Geelong businesses are above the national average for being “cash-flow positive”, according to a new survey.

Almost 55 per cent of local firms rated as positive compared to the national average of 54 per cent, according to software company Xero’s national Small Business Insights.

Sweet funding City Hall will share in a $500,000 fund to remove sugar-sweetened drinks from councilrun sports venues.

Taxpayer-funded VicHealth announced this week it would help Geelong “tackle obesity in the community” with money to promote water as “the drink of choice” for people participating in local sports.

Healthy appointment Australia’s peak governmental forum has appointed Barwon Health’s Renee Owen to chair a national body overseeing standards for treatment services delivered to Aboriginals.

Ms Owen said the Coalition of Australian Governments appointment provided her with “extra credibility” in her role as an Aboriginal health program manager.

Heath transferred Rare native orchids and other endangered species are set for greater protection after Anglesea Heath formally became part of Great Otway National Park this week.

Parks Victoria said the 6405-hectare land transfer would help protect eight native plants listed as rare or threatened, including the variety of orchids endemic to the area.

Man hunted A man on the run over warrants for “a number of assaults” could be on the loose in Geelong, police have warned.

Police said they believed that 34-year-old Travis Harradine, described a 170cm with a medium build and grey hair, “may be frequenting the Geelong and Warrnambool areas”.

Child care siting ‘a danger’ to families

Mozzie brain in Zika study Geelong neuro-engineers have gone to the source for a possible cure of a virus leaving babies with shrunken heads, Deakin University has announced.

The scientists were investigating the brains of mosquitoes at Waurn Ponds to “crack the code” for a viable Zika vaccine.

The disease has ravaged communities in South America and reached Australia’s Papua New Guinea doorstep, with authorities identifying mosquitoes as the source of infection.

Infected pregnant women have subsequent babies with underdeveloped brains and debilitating neurological disorder Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Deakin’s research discovered that Zika-infected mosquitoes were “naturally resistant to its most-debilitating effects”, the university said.

“While other groups have looked into how the virus reproduces in mammals, we traced the infection back to its source in mosquitoes, who are one of the main culprits of spreading the disease,” said lead researcher Associate Professor Asim Bhatti.

“We’re the first ones in the world to demonstrate this mosquito brain mechanism in vitro, with a microelectrodes array that essentially puts mosquito brain cells on a chip that we can then use to track activity.”

The work was the result of a collaborative effort by researchers including Deakin PhD student Julie Gaburro and the CSIRO Australian Animal Health Laboratory’s Dr Jean-Bernard Duchemin and Dr Prasad Paradkar.

Prof Bhatti said the research showed that mosquitos’ unique way of fighting off Zika infection was “much more effective than mammals’”.

“Zika attacks the brain more than anything else, so if we can understand how this works, that’s the first step toward vaccination,” he said.

By Luke Voogt A proposed child care centre in a new Lara estate is “an accident waiting to happen”, according to a couple building across the road.

Point Cook kindergarten worker Ingrid Rutherford, who is building a home neighbouring the proposed site, described the location as “dangerous“.

“I’m not sure why they’re putting it in the middle of a residential area with tiny roads,” the 45-year-old said.

“It’s about the safety of the children - there’s just no room for 125 parents to come in and pick up their children each day.”

The proposed child care centre, located in a residential section of the Manzeene Village development, should instead be built next to the estate’s proposed school or commercial area, Mrs Rutherford said.

“Just put it where it’s (suited) rather than an unsafe location where children are going to get hurt.”

Residents living in the estate were blindsighted about the centre due to a Geelong council land designation, Mrs Rutherford said.

The land fell under a development plan overlay, meaning the childcare centre would not be publically advertised and residents were unable to object, she said.

“You’ll never find it,” she said.

“No one will ever know about it until the concrete slab goes down and the thing has been built.”

Mrs Rutherford “accidentally“ discovered the proposal for the childcare centre after speaking to a friend.

Her husband David, 45, said council had incorrectly designated the land.

Victorian Planning Practice Note 23 states that development planning overlays should “contain no existing residential population and (should) not adjoin established residential areas”.

Residents already lived within the area covered by the overlay and in the lands adjoining it, which contravened the planning practice, Mr Rutherford said. “(Council) don’t have to tell anyone and you can’t appeal it either - we can’t put an opinion forward, we can’t do anything.”

He said his requests for council to remove the designation had fallen on “deaf ears”.

“We’re not against childcare centres, but when you look at their own rules, it should go next to community centres, schools or churches.”

Melbourne-based company Dacland is the company behind Manzeene Village but does not own the proposed child care site.

The company’s Marc Akkerman described the proposed centre as a great amenity for local residents, but declined to comment on the location.

Edge to heist A large masked man with an “edged weapon” has robbed a service station at Drysdale, police have alleged.

The image, apparently from a security camera at the service station, showed a man in dark clothing and holding what appeared to be a blade with a tip curving upward.

His disguise covered most of his face except for his eyes and a narrow surrounding area.

Police appealed for public help to identify the alleged robber.

“The man threatened the attendant before stealing cash and cigarettes and running off,” police said.

“He is perceived to be Caucasian, aged in his 30s, approximately 183cm tall with a solid build.”

Anyone with information or who witnessed the event is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report to Crime Stoppers at crimestoppersvic. com.au

FURIOUS: Ingrid Rutherford at a proposed childcare site in Lara, which she has described as "dangerous". (Joe van der Hurk) 177498 “It is the responsibility of the local council to determine congestion, planning regulations, et cetera,” he said.

“Unfortunately we don’t have any influence over that.”

The planning overlay means residents are unable to formally object to the proposal or appeal to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal.

In correspondence seen by the Indy, coun-

cil officers acknowledged residents’ concerns but stated the overlay was the most appropriate designation.

The correspondence indicated no intention to change the designation of the land, but stated council had yet to approve the application for the childcare centre.

The Indy was unable to obtain comment from Winderemere ward councillor Kylie Gryzbek.

Centre ‘split’

DOUBLE TAKE Understandably, all sorts of agencies and authorities have tried riding the feel-good bandwagon of the news that Avalon Airport will finally begin flying internationally.

Fair enough, too. The daily flights to and from Malaysia are sure to deliver positive spin-offs for local tourism operators and the like.

But over 300km away?

Well, that’s the hope of Portland-based Glenelg Shire, which has welcomed the Avalon announcement with expectations that far south-west Victoria is “set to benefit from (the) international air market”.

And the expectations must be considerable given that Mayor Anita Rank described herself as “ecstatic” about the Air Asia flights.

“Our aim is to encourage tourists to travel beyond the Great Ocean Road and this goal is highly achievable with our international visitor numbers set to increase towards the end of the year,” Cr Rank told her community.

Geelong looks forward to faraway Glenelg Shire sharing our Avalon bounty - and commends Cr Rank for setting a new standard in mayoral chutzpah!

NOT GIVING UP HIS DAY JOB: Geelong councillor, earthmover dealership boss and now Consul for the Republic of Slovenia, Eddy Kontelj. faces a challenge managing his new role with existing council work and full-time managing directorship of a big earthmoving equipment firm in Melbourne.

Also as a world-record holder for static cycling, Ed will be pedalling faster than ever!

With Valentine’s Day coming up, local couples will be considering their gift options.

Flowers? Done to death.

Dinner and a movie? Boring.

Sexy undergarments? Good luck with the sizing!

How about … a personal breathalyzer?

Yes, that was the unexpected suggestion of one PR firm this week when it urged the Indy to promote its client’s product as “the perfect gift” on Valentine’s Day. How romantic! As everyone knows, nothing says ‘I love you’ like giving someone a breathalyzer.

As long as it isn’t misinterpreted as saying ‘You drink too much’!

12375491-RC02-18

Hot on the heels of the Avalon breakthrough comes another achievement for Geelong this Sunday: the opening of Victoria’s only foreign consulate outside Melbourne.

And what a consulate it will be! As reported previously in Double Take, the Consulate of the Republic of Sloevnia will be manned, or these days maybe that should be peopled, by none other than Geelong councillor Eddy Kontelj.

As Victoria’s new Honorary Consul for the Republic of Slovenia, Ed’s in for a big opening weekend. No less than Her Excellency Helena Drnovsek Zorko and Slovenian government minister His Excellency Zdravko Pocivalsek will rock up to help cut the ribbon, the latter travelling all the way from Slovenia for the gig.

A former home on The Esplanade, behind Western Beach Rd, will house the consul office, from which Ed plans to conduct official affairs after hours.

Double Take’s uncertain how much work goes into being Honorary Consul for the Republic of Slovenia, or any other ‘enia’. But Ed surely

From page 1.

“The Andrews Government needs to come clean with the project design and siting and put some dollars behind it.

“What’s the issue? This has been going on for two years.”

The Andrew Government’s failure to release the business case has generated the debate about the best location for the site. I have over a number of years called on the Andrews Government to show us the plans and then show us the money.”

Discussions with Deakin University for a trade-off for the use of the car park had all but concluded, Mr Ramsay said.

Six weeks ago City of Greater Geelong indicated to Mr Ramsay that it had alternative land to replace the car park, he said.

But Regional Development Minister Jaala Pulford denied Mr Ramsay’s claims.

“These discussions are ongoing so it’s inaccurate for Mr Ramsay to assume they have concluded,” she said.

“Work is currently underway to ensure every avenue is explored to deliver a facility that is viable and sustainable and best meets the economic interests of the region.”

Ms Pulford refused to release the business case in parliament due to it being commercial in confidence.

“The Deakin site is the proposed location as was identified in the Central Geelong Revitalisation Plan. We want Geelong to have a world-class convention centre that is close to public transport, centrally located and reflects the Geelong community’s views.

“Work is currently underway to ensure every avenue is explored to deliver a facility that is viable and sustainable and best meets the economic interests of the region.”

Deakin University chief operating officer Kean Selway declined to comment on alternative locations for the carpark.

“Deakin looks forward to continuing to work in partnership on this important project,” he said.

“However, there is currently no agreement confirming the Waterfront campus carpark as the site for a future convention centre.”

Bike project fury spreads

By Luke Voogt

PROUD: Melanie Thomson, Linda Stokoe, Kirrily Hayward and Chris Hall at the Geelong Awards for People with a Disability. 177409

Doctor’s win for son Ridley

By Luke Voogt

BIKE PLANS: The route for the southern link of the Geelong Principal Bicycle Network. traffic. But Mr Verikios doubted "people in their thousands will get on their bikes" once the cycling lanes are complete.

He criticised council's justification for the plans, which included public consultation for its 30-year Clever and Creative Future vision.

The survey for the vision asked "loaded" questions about riding, he said.

"Maybe they should have asked instead, 'Are you happy to have increased traffic congestion in exchange for better paths for cyclists?'" he said.

Mr Verikios joined several traders in High Street opposing the plan.

"People in Belmont will lay on the street before they let this go ahead."

The TAC funded the project, which plans the removal of 49 car parks from Moorabool Street, and 35 car parks and one lane in both directions on Gheringhap Street.

"The proposed design of the routes, including the number of car parks, cycling and car lanes will not be finalised until community consultation is complete," said council's director city services Guy Wilson-Browne.

12379017-DJ07-18

Melanie Thomson had a special message for 10-year-old son Ridley at Geelong Awards for People with a Disability.

“You can have a disability and still be a leader,” the Ocean Grove local said.

Dr Thomson on Monday dedicated her Leadership Award to Ridley who, like her, was showing an aptitude for science.

“He seems to be attracted to physics and IT,” she said. “I spend a lot of time making sure he’s got access to learning how to code - that’s a skill everyone will need in the future.”

Dr Thomson won the award for her scientific work and for being a “patient voice” of a successful campaign to close a dangerous legislative loophole. Canberra late last year amended the legislation, covering treatments requiring autologous cells.

Autologous cell transplants involved removing a patient's cells for re-use in their treatment, Dr Thomson explained.

“I’ve had one myself.”

Dr Thomson, who has multiple sclerosis, underwent an epidural blood patch to treat a spinal fluid leak that caused “head-splitting pain”.

But before the amendment pseudo-scientific practitioners used the legislative loophole to treat conditions, including MS, with dangerous, non-evidence-based techniques, Dr Thompson said.

“A, it doesn’t work and, B, they’re not medically-qualified to do these treatments.”

Leopold’s Chris Hall won an Achievement Award for motor neuron disease fundraising.

Kirrily Hawyard and Linda Stokoe won awards for campaigning for marriage equality and respectful relationships.

Geelong council's planned bicycle network will "wipe out" local businesses and cause major traffic congestion, according Moorabool Street traders. South Geeelong takeaway owner Vincent Tan said council's plan to remove three car parks near the Barwon River bridge would destroy his business.

"We won't recover from the loss."

Mr Tan said more than half of his customers used the car parks and urged council to find another location for the bike path.

"There's ways of doing this without killing business," he said. "We're strongly against the current proposal but we're happy to work with council to find an alternative."

Moorabool Street petrol station operator John Verikios said the plan would "wipe out" Mr Tan's store.

"When you're trying to run a business and raise a family, you shouldn't have to think about this sort of thing," he said.

Mr Verikios said Moorabool Street would lose a turning lane at the corner of Fyans Street, creating congestion to the bridge.

"It reaches almost halfway to the bridge now already. Any more than two cars in sequence turning left will hold up traffic."

He was shocked to discover council would begin work on the project in the second quarter of 2018 and described the plan as "secretive".

"We got a letter dumped on us on 8 January when everyone is on holiday," he said.

Local bike advocates have cited research that 60 per cent of people would consider riding on bike paths, which they say would reduce car

The southern link (connecting Geelong to Waurn Ponds) will use Gheringhap Street, Carr Street, Moorabool Street, High Street and Colac Road.

The western link (connecting Central Geelong to Herne Hill) will use Villamanta Street, Pizer Street, Bigmore Street, Gertrude Street and Sydenham Avenue.

While we’re currently consulting with the community on designs on other parts of the route, the design of the High St section, between Mount Pleasant Road and Roslyn Road, has not yet been determined and will be developed in consultation with the community, traders and key stakeholders.

WHEN WILL WORK ON THE ROUTES BEGIN? Works will not begin until all trader and community workshops and consultation is complete. We’re hoping to begin staged works, starting north of the Barwon River, later this year.

1400 daily on Asia flights

By Luke Voogt Almost 1400 extra passengers will use Avalon daily when the airport’s first international service takes off this year, according to the airline operating the flight.

AirAsia on Sunday announced it would relocate its twice-daily return service from Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur, to Avalon Airport by late 2018.

AirAsia X chief executive officer Benyamin Ismail said passengers filled an average of 92 per cent of seats on the service.

“This is one of the best performers for us,“ he said.

Mr Ismail was confident the airline would maintain or exceed the percentage at Avalon, due to cheaper fares and simpler facilities.

“I was in immigration (at Tullamarine Airport) for two hours,” he said about his most recent flight to Melbourne.

“That would not be an issue here.”

AirAsia would need to fill at least 80 per cent of seats to make the service viable, he said.

The airline’s A330-300s carry 377 passengers each. Four flights at 92 per cent capacity would mean 1387 people travelling through Avalon daily and 511,000 per year.

AirAsia cofounder and CEO Tony Fernandes shared Mr Ismail’s optimism, saying the airline would offer average fares of 500 Malaysian ringgit (roughly $50).

“I really think door-to-door you’ll save time, because you’ll get in and out of this airport really quick,” he said.

The airline would eventually relocate other flights from Tullamarine to Avalon, beginning with its service to Thailand, Mr Fernandes said.

Other “animal-based” airlines such as Tiger Airways would follow AirAsia’s example, he said.

WELCOME ABOARD: Avalon Airport CEO Justin Giddings, AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes and Linfox chairman Lindsay Fox. “(Avalon) is going to be a thriving airport very, very soon.”

The Malaysian-based low-cost carrier flies to 130 destinations from Kuala Lumpur.

“We’re a huge brand in terms of South East Asia and it’s going to put Avalon on the map,” Mr Fernandes said.

The move to Avalon follows a trend of budget airlines choosing secondary airports at key destinations to lower prices, according to

Swinburne University aviation expert Chrystal Zhang.

“Strategically it is a win-win situation for the airport and the airline,” she said.

Lower terminal taxes and rebates could help reduce fares for flights to Avalon, which would land in the “catchment area” of the primary airport, Tullamarine, she said.

“What they are aiming at is cost reduction - AirAsia suffered huge financial losses in the

last quarter of 2017.”

AirAsia would likely market the flight as “to Melbourne” rather than Geelong, Ms Zhang said.

“I don’t think people know that much about Geelong.

“They know the Great Ocean Road and other areas of interest and they would relate that to Victoria and Melbourne.”

LETTERS Teeing off with Avalon It was indeed a privilege to be a volunteer for three days at the 2018 Oates Victorian Open at 13th Beach Golf Links.

This event has turned the open back to its halcyon days of the past. It also provides young golfers from Down Under and across the globe with incremental professional career advancement opportunities in a not-hard-to-take coastal setting.

The Oates open also provides solid trickledown business for the local economy.

Two other great vibes I’ll remember were the sportsmanship and camaraderie of the players and the extensive signage from Avalon Airport.

On the latter, it’s baby steps but the Air Asia foot in the door with Malaysia is cause for mild celebration that would be exacerbated by the in-sync construction of a Little River airport rail link, which is critical in tapping into the extensive western suburbs/Point Cook market.

Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Start planning for future now The announcement of international use of Avalon Airport was not before time.

All levels of government must stop obfuscating and make some real, long-term decisions about the creation of infrastructure in the Geelong area. They are allowing developers to cover the land with housing estates without planning how their residents will get from place to place.

Future planning needs to consider: making Avalon Melbourne’s second international airport, with a fast-rail link to the CBD; finishing Geelong’s ring road with a bridge across Corio Bay from Point Henry to Avalon, with linkages to and improvements of the Melbourne-to-Geelong roadway; extending railway services to the new suburbs south of Geelong and to Torquay; and planning an outer ring road to bypass the urban conglomeration of Geelong and Melbourne so road access for country Victoria doesn’t have to become jammed in the megalopolis.

We know that in 50 years people will decry our lack of future planning as they try to wind their way through a mass of packed urbanity without the necessary infrastructure. Why don’t we plan for it and do it now?

We are all sick of Band-Aid management.

Kissing Couzens Simon Ramsey’s Inspector Hercule Poirot letter in last week’s Indy, criticising Member for Geelong Christine Couzens, was, in the best tradition of Agatha Christie, a complete work of fiction.

Since the election of the Andrews Government and Ms Couzens in 2014 most government schools in her electorate have received funds to rebuild or refurbish buildings. They received nothing under Mr Ramsey’s coalition government.

Ms Couzens’ advocacy for schools has seen more than $47 million spent in Geelong to improve children’s education. Hundreds of new jobs have been created in Geelong, with businesses attracted to our vibrant city.

Former Ford and Alcoa workers have retrained for new jobs at Gordon Institute of TAFE. Ms Cozens advocated for them while Mr Ramsey stayed silent as the federal coalition government destroyed their industries and livelihoods.

Ms Couzens fought for the Gordon after Mr Ramsey’s government financially gutted the TAFE sector. Securing over $300million to rebuild TAFE ensured employment for many in Geelong.

Geelong’s CBD is being revitalised as a cultural hub, which didn’t happen under Mr Ramsey’s watch.

Ms Couzens’ government is rebuilding the rail system, with Geelong gaining new services

BUCKETS & BOUQUETS Bouquets to a lovely lady who searched me out while shopping.

to Melbourne. Mr Ramsey’s government didn’t get around to building a single carriage.

Ms Couzens consults her community and advocates on its behalf. In contrast, even Mr Ramsey’s beloved Inspector Poirot would have difficulty uncovering a single achievement in his undistinguished career.

Unless, of course, one considered complaining, dog whistling and talking Geelong down to be achievements.

Labor’s road to waste I take issue with the Andrews Government’s decision to take out full-page ads while western Victorian roads fall to bits.

The ads, defending the excessive spending of the installation of wire cable barriers, would be better spent upgrading roads and bridges.

While our government is infatuated with corralling cars with wire ropes it ignores the big issue of rural roads deteriorating before our eyes.

Following Labor’s abandonment of the Country Roads and Bridges Program, rural shires cannot afford upgrades or repairs to roads, bridges and dangerous intersections, leaving potholes and dangerously uneven road surfaces littering western Victoria.

The ads in regional media last month, costing taxpayers thousands and thousands of dollars, were disgraceful public spending.

Victorian’s deserve a Government that listens to their concerns and then acts upon them.

Taking out full-page ads to defend a excessive spending will not fix our roads or save lives.

Instead, our premier continues to placate city drivers and ignore hard-working regional Victorians.

Simon Ramsay Member for Western Victoria

Good news goes nuclear I have good news for those thinking we should cut our “carbon” emissions.

This year should see the first units of new modular nuclear technology rolling off production lines, with all the implied quality control.

They will be nothing like previous nuclear power plants, about which many are terrified.

Forget melt-down nuclear accidents, forget nuclear waste, forget massive, expensive installations. Welcome to new walk-away-safe reactors, able to reprocess all existing waste and with many modular units small enough to load on the back of a truck.

Welcome to clean emissions-free, 24/7 baseload electricity at a price somewhere between 3.5 to five cents per kilowatt hour. Welcome to reactors that are not water-cooled, that operate at atmospheric pressure. Goodbye elaborate cooling systems, huge containment domes, and massive cooling towers.

Goodbye to Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and the Fukushima Daiichi disasters.

They are the ultimate recycling system: burn the fuel, exhaust CO2 back into the atmosphere

Power to the privateers In 2013 I discovered a report claiming that two Hong Kong-based owners of Victorian and South Australian power generation assets allegedly owed the Australian taxpayer $750 million in unpaid taxes.

The report said: "The two firms, Cheung Kong Infrastructure and Power Asset Holdings, own 51 per cent of networks in South Australia and Victoria and have been accused of failing to pay taxes going back to 1999.

"The ATO lodged documents in Federal Court in Melbourne accusing Cheung Kong of owing $372,380,301 in taxes, penalties and interest, while Power Asset Holdings has been accused of owing $387,425,569 in unpaid taxes, penalties and interest."

I heard later that the dispute was settled for $80 million but not whether the original claim was valid. However, if it was genuine it is appalling that the ATO did not claim the full amount and that government did not demand return of the power-generating assets to government control. Readers might also remember that unmaintained assets caused the Black Saturday bushfires, which claimed 173 Victorian lives.

Doubtless also those unpaid taxes would have been invested, probably making windfall financial gains for the foreign companies over and above the profits they made normally.

Given the fact that thousands of Victorians are being disconnected from the power grid at massive rates, the whole situation represents a monumental failure of government, which is legally contracted-via our constitutions-to provide "peace, order and good government," not to mention the promise that privatisation would drive prices down.

Rewriting history godless I watched The Darkest Hour, depicting Winston Churchill's role in the evacuation of troops from Dunkirk.

Although Mr Churchill was the man for the time, with his stirring speeches, The Darkest Hour and Dunkirk both overlooked the period’s most-significant event: King George VI calling on citizens to turn back to God in a spirit of repentance and to plead for divine help. A national day of prayer was held on 24 May 1940.

Millions of people flocked to churches, praying for deliverance. King George VI, Mr Churchill, Queen Wilemena of the Netherlands, government ministers and ordinary citizens

Email: editorial@geelongindependent.com.au 78 Moorabool St, Geelong, 3220 Fax: 5249 6799 gathered at Westminster Abbey to seek God's intervention.

Two miraculous events later took place. A great storm broke over Flanders, grounding Germany’s air force, and a great calm settled on the English Channel, with its heavy fog and cloud enabling the rescue of 335,000 soldiers.

Both events were attributed to the intervention of God. With the amount of available documentation about the day of prayer, its omission from both films seemed deliberate.

The English-speaking world seems to be doing everything in its power to remove the remembrance of the hand of God from our collective histories. Why else would it lead the rest of the world down a path of moral and spiritual degradation, as evidenced in its acceptance of same-sex marriage.

The future might belong to the current generation but it should not rewrite the history of my generation to excuse itself of any responsibility to God. Robert McDonald Highton

In the banks’ debt The Banking Inquiry Royal Commission needs to be a people’s royal commission into banking, not a bankers’ royal commission into banking that would cover up corrupt banking practices.

The fraud of banks’ credit creation out of nothing needs to be exposed.

All bank loans should contain an origin of funds declaration stating that the sum of the loan was created out of nothing under a capital adequacy ratio of, for example, 10 to one.

With record personal and national debt levels banks have a fiduciary obligation to let borrowers know what they are getting into.

It is 324 years since the Bank of England formed in 1694 and more people need to wake and expose corrupt banking practices and be able to have their say.

Bernie Bourke Balliang

Milk fears need action Health professionals and many members of the public are now aware of the potential damage that some substances could inflict on kidneys.

Particles of nano-hydroxyapatite, manmade nano-materials, seem designed for this purpose because they are tiny and sharp.

Friends of the Earth recently revealed that Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) had legalised the use of nano-hydroxyapatite in baby formula after previously declaring it impermissible and that FSNAZ had also misled the public and authorities that it was safe.

Since FSANZ’s apparent deception is now public knowledge, the public might avoid powdered milk or view it with suspicion. But these types of incidents can destroy public faith in government departments and organisations set up to keep our food safe. The public might also wonder whether milk produced for the adult market contains harmful ingredients.

Another far-reaching problem with the FSANZ incident is the Chinese’s recent experience of adulterated baby formula, which caused infant deaths and thousands of cases of kidney damage and illness. Chinese consumers might stop buying Australian milk once they know that Australian baby formula has also been adulterated.

The Chinese came down hard on those who deliberately produced adulterated baby milk, so it would be appropriate for the Australian Government to also take a punitive approach to anyone who might have abdicated responsibilities for public health.

What’s in Storer for Corio

By Luke Voogt The Sunny Cowgirls and Sara Storer will hit the road together for the first time this month, winding through country Victoria on their way to Geelong.

Sisters Sophie and Celeste Clabburn are regulars at the Gateway Hotel but 17 February will be their first time playing there alongside Storer.

“Lessie and I are huge fans of her’s,” Sophie said.

“Before we even hit the industry we were listening to all her albums and knew the words to all her songs.”

The Love and Land tour will be the first time Sophie has toured since giving birth to first child Jack last March. “(Celeste and I) were pretty much touring up until two months before he was born,“ the 35-year-old said.

And Sophie reckons Jack might have developed a of love of good vibrations on tour in the womb.

“All babies love music but a he really seems to have taken a shine to it,” she said.

“He loves it when I sing to him and I pick up the guitar. I will continue to try and drum it into him - especially the country music.”

The Sunny Cowgirls recorded the song Twelve Trees with Storer in 2010, so touring together was the next logical step for the trio.

“We always thought it was a good match because we all sing about and write about rural Australia,” Sophie said.

“She never gets too stressed out which is a good thing. You don’t want to be touring with someone too highly strung and that’s not Sara.”

Sophie first picked up the guitar at age 10, learning her first song at 11.

GIGS: Country singer Sara Storer

YEE-HAW: Sunny Cowgirls Celeste and Sophie Clabburn, regulars at the Geelong venue, will appear for the first time with Sara Storer.

She “roped” her younger sister into playing country music, inspiring Celeste to teach herself bass guitar.

The Sunny Cowgirls take their name from the family farm Sunninghill at Dunkeld, near the Grampians.

The sisters grew up in in both WA and re-

gional Victoria, cutting their teeth performing at rodeos and shows across WA. They were in their teens when they released their debut album in 2005, after catching the eye of producers at Tamworth’s Academy of Country Music.

Their album Little Bit Rusty peaked at num-

ber three on the ARIA Country Charts.

The two have played with numerous Aussie country greats, as well as opening for Taylor Swift in the Snowy Mountains eight years ago.

Storer has won 21 Golden Guitars at the Tamworth Country Music Festival.

Pair’s finale ‘attraction’

By Justin Flynn

SOUL SISTERS: She-Laas Wanda (Marion Fay), Dianna (Margaret Dennis) and Rayleene (Jennifer Lee) discuss their boy troubles.

She-Laas land for Italia gig

By Luke Voogt The She-Laas will bust out the beehives when they bring their '60s-themed extravaganza to Geelong for the first time this weekend.

The cover group features three very different sisters: Rayleene (Jennifer Lee), Dianna (Margaret Dennis) and Wanda (Marion Fay).

“It’s loosely based on Keeping Up Appearances,” Fay explained.

“You’ve got the snobby one, the man hunter one and in our version we’ve got an ocker one.”

The 59-year-old looked forward to transporting the audience back to the '60s with a few laughs along the way.

“It’s great - you get to be somebody else on stage.”

The show could even include an opportu-

nity for an “eligible bachelor” to win Wanda’s hand in marriage to the tune of Chapel of Love.

“Wanda's desperately looking for Mr Right but Mr Right Now will do," Fay laughed.

“She’s been married seven times but she's still optimistic she will find her perfect man.”

The three performers met on the pub covers seen 30 years ago but waited two decades before forming the She-Laas.

“I just rang the girls 10 years ago and said, 'What do you think?”

Even after a decade the act was still heaps of fun, Fay said.

“I think I’ve got the best job in the world.”

The She-Laas will hit the stage with new show Oh No My Boyfriend’s Back at Club Italia on Saturday night.

It’s rare anyone could say they went along to a world-class performance and was actually involved in the production.

But that’s what audience members will be in for during Finucane & Smith’s extravaganza at Drysdale’s Potato Shed tonight and tomorrow.

Dance Hall is a mixture of a little bit of everything with audience members encouraged to get involved in an extraordinary finale to the show.

“We’ll have a big finale that will involve audience members,” director and international cabaret star Moira Finucane told the Indy.

“We’re so respectful of our audience members, so you certainly don’t have to do it - just say at the door that you’d like to be in the finale and it will be a quick 30-minute rehearsal and you’re in.”

Dance Hall had performed across the globe but the Bellarine Peninsula remained one of Finucan’s favourite places, she said.

“We love Drysdale and love the Bellarine Peninsula.

“We’ve performed all over the world but there’s just something about the Bellarine. We get all of our internationally famous dancers and mix them with your wonderful dancers.

“The Potato Shed is but of a local institution in Drysdale. It’s one of the friendliest places to go for a night out.”

Finucane described Dance Hall as a supper dance, a bring-a-plate celebration, a storytelling and dance-teaching extravaganza, a transcendent night of entertainment, and a whole-

(Isobel Hamilton) of-community knees-up.

Dance Hall allowed local community stars, from cake bakers to dance enthusiasts, to be a part of Finucane and Smith’s world as it opened up to become a dinner dance show where the whole community could join in, she said.

“The choice is yours to dance or enjoy the night from the comfort of your seat.

“There’s no dance style that’s left unturned.“ “We might even finish off with a congo line.

Interacting with the communities that we visit is one of the biggest privileges in my life as an artist. You don’t need to be a red hot dancer.

“This will be the Bellarine event of the year, so grab your valentine, dress up, bring a plate and get ready for a great night.”

After decades delighting taste buds with Italian cuisine, the chefs and baristas at Ebony & Ivory know how to impress their toughest critics - local Italians.

“They are very critical customers, but they love our coffee and food,” says restaurant coowner Jurgen Schlotzer.

Jurgen indulged his passion for Mediterranean food when he reopened the longstanding restaurant Ebony & Ivory on Moorabool Street last August.

“The secret is fresh, homemade pasta - for delicious meals that bring the taste of Italy to Geelong,“ Jurgen says.

“Fettucine, ravioli, gnocchi, tortellini - we make it all ourselves in our kitchen.

“We have three well-travelled Italian chefs and they all know what they are doing.”

Three months ago Ebony & Ivory extended its opening hours to 8am to 11pm, Monday to Saturday, so customers can enjoy a delicious dinner there as well.

On Sunday it’s open 10am to 3pm for a coffee or brunch.

And with Valentine’s Day coming, Ebony & Ivory is the perfect place to take that somebody special.

Star-crossed lovers can enjoy the delicious Valentine’s Day menu, which the chefs prepared especially for the day in this private, cosy restaurant.

“We’ve still got tables available, but they are going fast,” Jurgen says.

And the restaurant has one very special addition from Geelong West - a man affectionately known on Pakington Street as the ‘Singing Waiter’.

“He sings with the music and everybody seems to like it,” Jurgen says.

“He is not an outstanding singer - but everybody seems to love him - he is just a very lovable Italian guy.”

‘Alpha male’ finds Garner

By Luke Voogt Playing a baboonish count in an onstage love affair with prolific Australian actress Nadine Garner “takes a lot of imagination”, says opera singer Eddie Muliaumaseali’I. “He’s such an alpha male,” the Kiwi expat said.

“I don’t run around like around him.”

The bass plays the lover of the self-absorbed, once-successful actress Desiree in A Little Night Music.

But while Muliaumaseali’I’s personality differed from the military-minded Count CarlMagnus Malcolm, his physique was perfect for the role.

“I look like a front row forward for rugby,” he said.

Indeed, Muliaumaseali’I once played state rugby. But he chose the musical path instead.

“My brother, who’s always been singer, asked me to audition for an opera and we both got in,” he said.

Muliaumaseali’I, whose parents were Polynesian and grandparents were Tongan, migrated to Brisbane to study opera.

He has since travelled 300,000km across the country, singing everywhere from the Kimberley to Hobart, he said.

He admitted he was nervous about jumping into “the world of musical theatre” despite decades singing.

“But now I’m loving it,” he said. “Musically it’s very heavily textured.“ Garner’s “wealth of experience” made the

“Nadine is a dream to work with. Everyone knew who she was, coming in, but she was very down to earth and open to helping us.”

A Little Night Music plays Geelong Performing Arts Centre from 22 to 24 February.

gests that children between the age of five and 10 should not be exposed to screens for more than an hour a day, while children between the age of 10 and 12 should not be exposed to any form of digital technology for more than two hours a day.

For parents with infants, it is recommended by the World Health Organsiation that they avoid using technology altogether, as this is an important time for their social and emotional development. The World Health Organisation is also considering endorsing new guidelines, developed by Australian and Canadian researchers, as its official endorsements to parents.

As we become increasingly dependent on technology, more time is spent looking at screens. Thanks to contemporary research, we know that long-term exposure to artificial light can not only negatively impact sight, but also disrupt the human body clock and overall well-being of an individual. This can therefore lead to health problems for young people later in life.

Like a good diet, balance is the key to a healthy life. Over-consumption could have potentially damaging effects on one’s health.

There’s no escaping it. There will always be artificial light at the end of the tunnel, but let’s encourage our children to enjoy the natural kind rather than the non-natural sort.

It’s a debate that divides opinion. How much is too much? From looking at our mobile devices and computer monitors in the workplace to watching television or using an iPad at home, it’s now almost impossible to avoid screen time.

It is the way we live our 21st century lives as we are surrounded by artificial screens and digital displays of all shapes and sizes - all of which are emitting potentially dangerous levels of light energy.

The question on many people’s minds now is, are we doing enough to enforce limitations on our children’s screen time? As school has just resume for thousands of children around the country, now is a good time to set boundaries and to shine a (natural) light on the situation at home and in the classroom.

Restricting a child’s screen time at home and school can be challenging for parents and educators alike. I have seen children have meltdowns and screaming fits because they are told they cannot use an iPad or computer in the classroom. Forget 1927’s pop song “I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream“ - as “I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for iScreens“ is more appropriately in sync with today’s youth.

However, setting boundaries and rules pertaining to screen time for children at home will help them develop other important life skills - as will completing chores, outdoor activities and advanced social interactions. At school, educators are encouraged to promote student engagement in differentiated ways - balancing a student’s learning across a technological and non-technological tightrope of subjects. Balance is key.

So, what is an acceptable amount of screen time for children? Experienced primary school teacher and parent blogger, Fiona Froelich sug-

MOTORING

Camry: business as usual

By Alistair Kennedy The end of the Australian automobile construction industry over the past 18 months is likely to have differing effects on each of the three affected companies. Ford has bitten the bullet and discontinued the Falcon while Holden is gambling on its loyal buyers moving to a German-built Commodore.

By contrast the switch from locally-produced to imported Toyota Camrys is likely to be seamless given our feeling that a fair proportion of current owners aren’t even aware that their car was built at the company’s Altona, Melbourne plant. New Camry comes from Toyota’s Tsutsumi plant near Nagoya in Japan.

The 2018 Camry is the first sedan to be built on the new Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) one that we saw most recently in the CH-R compact SUV. TNGA allows the sharing of parts and components among many vehicles across the Toyota range.

In the Camry it allows the car to sit a little bit lower and wider and provide a lower centre of gravity. This together with a more rigid chassis and enhancements to the car’s suspension and steering combine to provide a significant improvement in the car’s driving dynamics.

New model names have been introduced.

In ascending order of equipment they are Ascent, Ascent Sport, SX and SL. All but the SX come with the option of hybrid power while the SX and SL are available with V6 petrol engines. The Camry name is now used for all variants with the previous Toyota Aurion tag used for the V6 being dropped.

Prices have been reduced for six of the nine new Camry variants while increases on the other three are more than compensated by extra features.

Camry has long been seen as a conserva-

New Toyota Camry has a sleeker, sportier look than before. tive car and its 24-year dominance of the midsized passenger market suggests that buyers like it like that. So it comes as a bit of a surprise to see a much sportier look to the new model especially in the higher grade models.

The front features two-piece grilles with contrasting designs - refined and relatively conservative for Ascent, more aggressive and sportier for Ascent Sport, SX and SL. Wheel sizes range from 17-inch in the Ascent and Ascent Sport to 19-inch in the SX, then back down to 18-inch in the SL. Ascent has a full-size spare wheel, all others get a space saver.

The petrol-only SL has a panoramic sunroof while the SL Hybrid uses an electric tiltand-slide moonroof.

A larger windscreen and lower waistline give an airy feel. The new dynamic look continues with an asymmetrical dashboard.

The dashboard, instrument panel, centre

console and door trims use soft touch materials with a mix of colours.

Boot size is 493 litres in the Ascent with its full-size spare and 524 litres in the other models including the hybrid variants.

New Camry engines come with the same capacities as the superseded models, but have been revised. Outputs from the 2.5-litre fourcylinder petrol unit are marginally down to 133 kW of power and 231 Nm but significantly up in both the 2.5-litre hybrid and V6 engines.

The revised engine and hybrid system provide an extra 15 kW and 18 Nm (to 118 kW and 213 Nm) while the new V6 adds 24 kW and 26 Nm (to 224 kW and 362 Nm).

Fuel consumption is down by around 6.5 per cent for the V6 and between 13.5 per cent and 19 cent in the various hybrids. That of the petrol only four-cylinder is effectively unchanged.

Each engine gets a different transmission,

MODEL RANGE Ascent 2.5-litre petrol four-door sedan: $27,690 Ascent Hybrid 2.5-litre petrol / electric four-door sedan: $29,990 Ascent Sport 2.5-litre petrol four-door sedan: $29,990 Ascent Sport Hybrid 2.5-litre petrol / electric four-door sedan: $31,990 SX 2.5-litre petrol four-door sedan: $33,290 SL 2.5-litre petrol four-door sedan: $39,990 SL Hybrid 2.5-litre petrol / electric four-door sedan: $40,990 SX 3.5-litre V6 petrol four-door sedan: $37,290 SL 3.5-litre V6 petrol four-door sedan: $43,290 Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges.

all automatics of course. The 2.5-litre petrol automatic is mated to a conventional sixspeed; the hybrid to a CVT; with the V6 having an eight-speed. There are paddle shifters on the SX and SL models.

Bombers away for locked-in Geelong LOCAL CRICKET Jim Timberlake Geelong Cricket Club has consolidated its position in the top eight with a commanding four-wicket win over Ringwood.

Set 280 to win, the Cats got off to a brilliant start with Mitch Reid (95) starring at the top of the order, while opening partner Tom Treble (50) and Eamonn Vines (46) leant support to set a solid foundation.

Four quick wickets with 65 runs still required sent shivers through the dressing room, however Angus Boyd (44*) and Dom McGlinchey (29*) steadied the ship and saw the side home to a memorable win.

So Geelongs find itself sixth on the ladder and taking on fifth placed Essendon at Windy Hill this weekend in a Saturday/Sunday twoday game.

Tim Ludeman should return from Big Bash duties, which will give the Geelong team a boost in this crucial game.

In Geelong Cricket Association, two important games will resume tomorrow, and they couldn’t be further apart in terms of closeness.

East Belmont will resume at 1/34 in pursuit of Grovedale’s 220, a total the Tigers will be confident of defending but at the same time feeling should be a lot higher.

The Tigers raced to 0/106 in just 30 overs with Anthony Quarrell (93) and Michael Kelson (56) both on fire early.

However, star East Belmont leg spinner

Jim Timberlake Chris Williams (5/49) spun his side back into it with another masterful display. With support from young paceman Zac Walter (3/33), the Lions avoided what could have been a massive target.

Gareth Yelland struck back late on day one to dismiss Andrew Baars but he and his fellow bowlers will need to take some early wickets tomorrow if they are to win on what looks like a flat, slow wicket.

Meanwhile, North Geelong has already secured first innings points against Murgheboluc at Osborne Park and will press for outright

points tomorrow in what would be the Frogs’ second outright loss in as many games.

Nathan Fitzpatrick (3/30) and Andrew Fergusson (3/4) did the damage with the ball, while Adam Costello and Damien Vassiliou both made 24 in what seemed to be a nervous run chase as the Magpies passed the modest target of 86 six wickets down.

Murgheboluc will be looking to bat all day tomorrow and it could be a bit of pride that helps them dig deep and avoid another embarrassing outright defeat.

In division two, Marshall looks well-placed to defeat Highton and if it can do so, the top four may well be set in stone.

The Bears dominated day one with the ball, Jake Dubbledam (3/40) and Brad Greenwood (3/25) leading the way as the Heat could only manage a measly 139.

Alistair Ross (83) stood tall with the bat, before claiming the two wickets to fall late in the day, reducing Marshall to 2/24 at stumps.

Tomorrow will no doubt be a tense affair but Marshall, despite patchy form, still looks to have enough batting depth to get the job done.

And in division three, Modewarre has a golden opportunity to cement top spot when it resumes at 2/11 in pursuit of Thomson’s 106.

Nathan Saunders (5/27) bowled immaculately in his 28.5 over spell, sending down 13 maidens in the process.

He will resume at the crease tomorrow on zero not out and may well need to be the hero with the bat as well as the ball.

HOTLY CONTESTED: Bella Wilson surfs to a narrow victory in the Victorian Junior Surfing Titles.

Juc groms Wilson, Huxtable’s first-up wins Jan Juc teens Bella Wilson and Xavier Huxtable have claimed top honours in the opening round of the Victorian Junior Surfing Titles in small waves at Phillip Island.

Wilson, last year’s open division champion, narrowly fought off determined Phillip Island local Daisy Corbett, who kept her on her toes in the final on Sunday.

“The waves were pretty tricky, but I am stoked to start off the year with a win in the first event of the junior series,“ Wilson said.

“I can’t wait to surf in the rest of the events“ 26 GEELONG INDY

Huxtable, the 2017 Victorian under 16 champion, used his knowledge of rip bowl conditions to win the final with a massive heat total of 18.

“I’m completely stoked to take the win here at Cape Woolamai - the waves were really good!“ Huxtable said.

“Everyone was ripping in the final, but also throughout the whole comp, all the boys had a real dig over this weekend.“ Huxtable’s younger brother Ethan came second in the under 16s, narrowly going down to Newhaven’s Codie Jeffery.

Friday, 9 February, 2018

Barwon Head’s Ellie Harrison, last year’s Australian under 14 girls champion, reigned supreme with a convincing total heat score of 17.17.

The under 14 boys was a hotly-contested battle with Patrick Hughes (Jan Juc) and Willis Droomer (Torquay) going blow to blow in a tight encounter.

Hughes (14.27) narrowly edged out Droomer (14.20), whilst third went to Tanner Reid (Jan Juc), followed by his twin brother Jye who finished fourth.

Mixed bags on the bay ON THE BITE Chris Pitman Corio Bay again hosted excellent fishing for a mixed bag of fish again over the past week.

Flathead, pinkies, pike and, at times, Australian salmon all found their way into angler’s bags.

Venturing over to the Bird Rock area, Daniel Baden and I boated a few reasonable-sized flathead on Sunday morning, including a nicely sized rock flatty. The lure of choice was Gulp turtleback worm in pumpkinseed.

Large pike continued keeping anglers busy on the spoil grounds both inside and outside the bay.

Whiting captures increased along the Bellarine Peninsula, with fish holding in 5m to 7m from Portarlington to Queenscliff. The Bourke St area off St Leonards was the most consistent location, while pippies or tenderised squids bait fished in a bit of tidal flow worked well.

Gummy sharks averaging 90cm to 1.1m were in great numbers though out the bay. Deeper water out from Clifton Springs and Portarlington were popular locations, along with pilchard baits.

Queenscliff Harbour continued producing silver trevally for anglers casting soft plastics in the main channel on slack tides.

The Rip was still kingfish central.

Knife jigs and fresh squid accounted for fish to 10kg.

Salmon also schooled up in large numbers around The Rip, devouring almost any bait or lure in their path.

Bluefin tuna were present offshore from Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads, schooling in large number in water around 20m deep.

At times the tuna were very selective in what lure they would hit but small minnow soft plastics did the job, along with stick baits like the Bass Day Bungy.

Kingfish also patrolled the same area, with white occy skirts accounting for numerous fish.

The Barwon River estuary fished well for large black bream. Fresh bait was key, with live Bass yabbies doing the trick on fish to over 40cm on the last of incoming tides.

Freshwater angling was impressive again.

Tim Beusmans and Victorian Inland Charters’ Michael Evans spent a few hours fishing Lake Purrumbete, enjoying a ripper session. Tim boated a 75cm, 8.4lb brown trout along with another thumper of 75cm and 9.8lb before Michael finished the day with 78cm, 8.4lb fish.

Michael also caught the redfin on soft plastics, with the odd rainbow trout thrown into the mix.

Lake Bullen Merri’s Chinook salmon kept snapping up baits fished among strong berley trails. Down rigging accounted for a few salmon, with the best depth around 11m.

Trelly’s Geelong’s Peri Stavropoulos and Adam Van Der Lugt took a run down to the Great Ocean Road streams. Peri tried his hand at fly fishing, landing a nice brown trout on a nymph.

Next week should offer stunning pelagic fisheries offshore, while the bay could be worth fishing for snapper off Clifton Springs. Freshwater anglers would do best fishing for trophy trout at Purrumbete or Bullen Merri. geelongindy.com.au
