But with George now in his 90s, he said they wanted to scale back fundraising efforts, but wanted to give one final gift.

"When we decided we wanted to do something, we got in contact with council to work out a way we could help," he said.

"We're very happy with the result; these upgrades are sorely needed. We're very proud and humbled to be able to give to the people of The Basin something that is sorely needed in the community."

Mr Hetrel has been an integral community member of the region over a long period, dating back to his involvement with English Style Confections, which is now based in Boronia.

A $1 million donation to The Basin community has left the public in awe over a popular couple's lifetime of generosity.

In a final act of good will, owners of the renowned Como Gardens Estate, George and Pat Hetrel, have handed over the substantial-size cheque to Knox City Council, which will go towards the transformation of The Basin's Batterham Reserve.

The aim is to transform the well-used community asset into a landmark sports and leisure precinct.

Knox Mayor, Cr John Mortimore, said he was left dumbfounded over the level of generosity.

"I'm still trying to believe it!" Cr Mortimore said.

"While I'm still pretty shocked, it's so typical of George and Pat to do something special to help the local community.

"Not only have George and Pat provided this outstandingly generous financial support, they are the driving force behind many of the improvements that will now take place at the reserve.

"Right now, the Batterham clubs are in desperate need of more facilities to cope with the massive increase in numbers."

The major beneficiaries will include The Basin Cricket Club and The Basin Football and Netball Club, which use the reserve as their home ground.

However, many local children and families regularly use the reserve.

Works will include a new changing facility ($218,500), changerooms extension ($220,000), new flood-lighting ($75,000), cricket nets ($250,000) and new pathways ($235,000).

George and Pat have been big contributors to the community through their fundraising efforts with Como Gardens Estate, which have resulted in the donations of tens of thousands of dollars.

Much of these funds have gone to local organisations such as the CFA, SES and St John's Ambulance.

The Hetrels sold the company in 1997, after which they held regular, renowned fundraising events at Como Gardens.

"When we started out in the company, we started with just that, English styles. But we branched out into more mainstream items, including jelly babies, jaffas, jelly beans and cool mints," he said.

"We even helped to make rocky road popular with the Australian market."

Mr Hetrel said their most recent fundraiser at Como Gardens, which they said would be their last, drew a huge response and, subsequently, they gathered one of their biggest totals.

He said it was this humbling response that inspired them to offer the $1 million for Batterham Reserve.

The couple recently presented a cheque to council in a formal occasion.

Cr Mortimore said council accepted the gift with the utmost respect.

"Not one cent will be wasted," Cr Mortimore said.

"In fact, our teams are working to deliver specific areas the couple have for improving this much-loved facility at Batterham Reserve."

'A mosaic of memory'

By Derek Schlennstedt The Selby community is putting together the pieces of a colossal mosaic project at Selby Community House and it's slowly taking shape.

The Community House has organised a large mosaic to be displayed in its Community Indigenous Bushfoods Garden, involving community members young and old through Selby Primary School, Selby Kindergarten, Scouts and other community groups.

Tracy van Vloten at the Community House said that, when completed, multiple mosaic boards created by the community will be a permanent outdoor display on mud brick walls.

"Our mosaic courses have been really successful, and we wanted to enhance the space outside, following the unveiling of the bushfoods garden," Mrs van Vloten said.

"We're looking at it being there for a long time - it reflects the local environment and the native flora and fauna.

"There hasn't been an art project of this magnitude in Selby, nothing that involved the entire community, and we thought this was a perfect opportunity to do that, and for future generations."

The Community House received funding through Council's 2018 Grants for Community, which Mrs van Vloten said was essential to getting the project off the ground.

"We couldn't have done it without the Council grant," she said.

"It's really given us this opportunity - we've put in a lot of in-kind hours and had a lot of donations. These things put together have just created a magnificent project."

Yarra Ranges Mayor, Cr Len Cox, said the project was a great example of community art.

"The Community House has gone above and beyond in involving everyone possible in the creation of their mosaic murals, including regular sessions with the Selby Primary School and kindergarten," Cr Cox said.

Tracey van Volten (left) with the Art space and a work by Artist Nikki Wellington held up by Andrea Williams (left) and Belinda Conibeer 178529 (Mosaic Facilitator) "The artwork looks fantastic so far, and it will be great to see how it develops as even more people get involved."

The mosaic mural is expected to be completed in November, with an opening event to follow later in the year.

Fiery art show celebrates milestone

By Derek Schlennstedt It's difficult to believe that the Belgrave CFA has clocked up 35 years of Art Show experience but that's exactly what they've done.

This year the Firefighters at Belgrave CFA are once again gearing up for their annual art show which has under its belt 35 years of collaborating with local artists and offering a blank canvas for them to show their art.

With more than 250 pieces from local and national artists on show and available for purchase, the art show has become as iconic as the Belgrave Lantern festival.

Used as the brigade's major fund-raiser for the year, a small percentage of each painting goes to the brigade.

This year the brigade is broadening its scope and as a result various different styles

are to be featured.

Kirstin Cross, Community Education Officer at Belgrave Fire Brigade said visitors could expect a wonderful array of art and anyone could appreciate the different types of art.

"There are so many different styles, and medium ... one artist does digital work but then paints the other half of the piece. " The art show is renowned throughout Victoria, with some artists sending their work thousands of miles to exhibit in the show.

"We've got one artist who couriers his work to us from the other side of the city and then some of the other artists paint just for the art show," Kirstin said.

Kirstin encourages and invites everyone to come along to the event to see a diverse range of intricate and beautiful art.

"That's the amazing thing ... it goes for four days," "You meet the artist on the Friday night and have champagne with them and the next couple of days you can keep visiting that painting and if it's still there, they can buy the painting," she said.

"People can come in and walk out with something beautiful."

The Belgrave Fire Brigade Art Show will commence with a champagne opening on Friday 8 June from 7.30pm which will also include a presentation of awards to various artists. The opening costs $15, but, from 9- 11 June every day from10am-4pm, entry is free.

The art show is supported by businesses in Belgrave and Tecoma which take out advertising in the show's catalogue.

IN BRIEF

To blades of glory

By Derek Schlennstedt The hills community has come together to fund a set of new prosthetic blades for Mountain District Christian School student, Emmanuel Megee.

At two years old, Em's right foot was amputated due to congenital deformity and the following year his left foot was also amputated.

Despite his disability Em has never let it stop him from playing sports and taking part in school athletics, even if that means using his regular prosthetics to take part.

Though, with the help of his friends, the school community, and Wandin Rotary Club, Em has been given the opportunity to get new carbon fibre blades that would see him not only keep up with his friends on the playground but become a formidable force during school athletics.

His mother, Kathie (Cathie) Megee was overwhelmed by the response from the community and said the new prosthetics would change his life.

"What it will mean for him is the ability to keep up on the playground with his mates," Ms Megee said.

"His previous ones were base level; he could walk around fine but in terms of running and jumping his progress had plateaued."

"He's a really sporty kid so it will mean he can do all the activities his friends and peers are doing ... he did cricket in the summer season and did really well, but it's challenging for him to keep up, those activities will become so much easier."

"It will just transform his life and what he is able to do, when you watch a little boy running around and struggling to keep up ... it's so very meaningful to us."

The fundraiser was organised by the students at the school, who co-ordinated the colour run to be integrated into their annual cross country event.

Seeing their fellow student struggling to take part in school athletics events they wanted to find a way to make it easier for him to take part.

Ed Eadon, the School Chaplain at Mountain District Christian School, said that the school raised $2100 from the event, and the remainder of the cost for the blades were made up by Wandin Rotary Club.

"One of the kids in his class knew Em was wanting to get new blades and wanted to help support him in that ... from that grew the idea of the colour run, coinciding with the cross country run," Mr Eadon said.

"Got great support from local community ... donations from Bendigo Community Bank and we got some sausages from Emerald Rainbow Meat's and Wandin Rotary funded the rest."

"It was really a total community event."

Described as always giving "120 percent" when undertaking any activity, his mother said his current prosthesis did hamper his ability to take part in athletics - something which will now be a problem of the past.

The blades, which are attached to the back of a fibre glass boot, will allow Em to run faster,

Plea to find iPad owner Police are seeking to reunite an Apple iPad Mini that was handed into Lilydale Police Station in January.

Drug driving Yarra Ranges Highway Patrol identified two possible drug drivers on Sunday 27 May. A 36-year-old male from Montrose was pulled over for driving without a licence, on Fortuna Avenue in Croydon.

He underwent a preliminary oral fluid test and tested positive for an illicit substance.

On the same day, a 29-year-old male from Don Valley was pulled over on Manuka Drive, Ferntree Gully, and produced a positive result for or an illicit substance.

Both results must be analysed by the Victorian Forensic medicine and police are awaiting results for illicit drugs while driving.

"There aren't words ... it's extraordinary, we're just so thankful," said Ms Megee Em who was ecstatic to learn about the fundraiser, and his new boots (legs) thanked everyone for their contribution and said he will be hot on the heels of his friend at next year's

cross country.

"I just want to say thank you so much to everyone at school and Rotary for raising this money for me," Em said.

"I really appreciate it and can't wait to get my new blades and this time next year I will be running down the track with my classmates ... thank you so much."

Thousands more women in Melbourne's east now have easier access to life-saving breast cancer screening and care.

Easter Metropolitan Member, Shaun Leane, joined Minister for Health, Jill Hennessy, on Monday 21 May to officially open the $10 million Eastern Health Breast and Cancer Centre at Maroondah Hospital in Ringwood East.

The new centre is a 'one-stop-shop', giving women quicker and more convenient access to the very best breast screening, breast cancer treatment and supportive care services all under one roof.

The centre will deliver to more than 25,000 additional women every year.

Mr Leane said; "The new one-stop-shop will support women at all stages of their cancer journey. It is now easier for thousands of women in the east to get the care they need, when they need it - and all under the same room".

Startling investigation Body

watch Jerome Higgins

Physiotherapist, Dandenong Ranges Physio, Olinda Following on from a previous article I wrote in February of this year, on the lack of evidence for common knee orthopaedic surgeries, my colleagues and I decided to investigate evidence around treatment for common shoulder ailments - shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) and rotator cuff injury.

What we found was just as startling.

Acromioplasties and sub-acromial decompressions have been performed regularly in Australia over the previous thirty years for SIS. It is the most common type of shoulder pain we see, yet often wrongly diagnosed as bursitis or rotator cuff pathology.

The reason for this is that SIS is often coupled with these conditions - the bursa and one of the rotator cuff tendons being jammed against bone is the impingement itself, yet the bursa and rotator cuff tendons are not always the source of pain.

In fact, one mid 1990s study of 97 people across all age groups without shoulder pain found that 34 per cent had rotator cuff tears, and 15 per cent were full-thickness tears.

Similar studies show bursitis (inflamed bursae) in upto 60 per cent of men and 80 per cent of women, regardless of symptoms.

Causative factors are often postural in nature, specifically slouched upper back postures and/or weak scapula muscles.

Acromioplasties, where part of the overlying bone is removed, and sub-acromial decompressions are performed in order to reduce pressure in the space just above the shoulder joint where the impingement occurs.

Yet, there is literally no evidence that these two procedures, which cost the public and private purse millions of dollars each year plus time-off-work costs to the economy, have any greater effect than conservative treatment (physiotherapy and exercise).

In fact, corticosteroid injections for pain relief (if required) combined with a tailored physiotherapy exercise program are reported to have greater outcomes than surgery even in severe cases.

And those who don't improve with conser-

vative treatment also do not get better with surgery.

Evidence for rotator cuff tendon repairs is somewhat greyer: surgical opinion for rotator cuff tears should be considered only for a healthy population under 50 years old that require high level use of the upper body, and only for tears greater than 3cm in length, and always after attempting at least three months of conservative management first.

Bear in mind that the reported rate of retear of repaired tendons is anywhere from 50 - 80 per cent depending on which studies you read, which is pretty alarming considering that it is often a 12 to 18-month rehabilitation period to return to full strength post surgery.

It pays to be informed, and the current trend appears to be just that - patients seeking the best evidence for treatment for their problems and taking ownership of their choices.

Market day

Worawa match a highlight In the a first for girls' football in the Yarra Ranges, Worawa Aboringal College took on the Upwey-Tecoma Under 16s Girls team recently at Talaskia Reserve, Upwey Ferntree College.

Worawa College, which I located about 4km south of Healesville, is a boarding school for girls, with students arriving from as far away as Katherine, Darwin and the islands of Torres Strait.

As fate would have it, the match took place on Sunday 27 May, the day marking the beginning of National Reconciliation Week.

The Worawa football team is a first for the college.

Upwey-Tecoma Junior Football Club coach, Glenn Stephenson, said the club was "abso-

lutely thrilled to have them along to play".

"We were very excited to have them com e and play our second-year team," he said.

The Upwey-Tecoma team has thrived since its formation in 2017.

After initially struggling for numbers just days out before last season, within around four weeks the team list ballooned to 23 players and the club hasn't looked back.

The team went on to win seven of its 13 games to achieve third on the competition ladder of 10 teams.

They played in two rounds of the finals series before being knocked out in the first semifinal versus Mooroolbark.

Liberals to fund hospital

By Derek Schlennstedt Liberal Candidate John Schurink, Member for Eastern Victoria, Edward O'Donohue, and Shadow Minister for Health, Mary Wooldridge, are pushing the State Labor Government to further fund the ICU service at Angliss Hospital, despite rebuttals from the Health Minister, Jill Hennessy that the service is only months away.

They claim that although construction has finished and facilities are on offer, there is not enough funding and staff to support the service, which they say could have been rectified in the state budget.

In 2016, the State Labor Government announced a $20 million expansion of Eastern Health's Angliss Hospital.

That funding would go towards an increase of the capacity of the hospital's critical care services and would deliver a much-needed new intensive care unit (ICU) on the fourth floor.

Mr Schurink, Mr O'Donohue and Ms Wooldridge said that although the fourth floor construction had finished, it continues to function as a high dependency unit rather than an ICU - a result of under-staffing.

Mr Schurink said the community were being led to believe that a functioning ICU was being offered which would cause patients to be wrongly taken to Angliss.

That was exactly the experience that Trevor Evans's brother had when he was recently taken to Angliss Hospital after suffering chest pains.

"My brother was having trouble breathing and we got the paramedic in, we asked for them to go to Monash; they said, 'we'll go to Ferntree Gully that's the closest and they have an ICU unit,'" Trevor said.

"The next day he was transferred to Box Hill."

From left: Trevor Evans, Liberal member for Monbulk John Schurink, Sarah Krumins, Member for Eastern Victoria, Edward O''Donohue, Miller Smith, Shadow Minister for Health, Mary Wooldridge, and Jackie Evans.

Mr Schurink, a former Mica Paramedic for over 25 years, said there was a fundamental problem in if paramedics and the community believed an ICU was available when it wasn't.

"If you were to have the understanding that there was an ICU was here, you'd bring a different cohort of patients because you know that you can bring them here and they can be properly looked after without having to be transferred, otherwise as a paramedic you would actually bypass the hospital," he said.

"When you have patients coming in and believing to come to an ICU and then having to be transferred out, it's just not good enough," he said.

Currently, it is believed the hospital is functioning with a high dependency unit, with the main difference between the two relating to staffing, expertise and the difference in patients.

Ms Wooldridge said that if Daniel Andrews refused to further fund the hospital, an elected Liberals Government would see it funded and opened as soon as possible.

"If Daniel Andrews refuses to fund this ICU so it can deliver to the needs of the community an elected liberal government will fund it," Ms Wooldridge said.

Though, Jill Hennessy, Minister for Health has hit back at the claims stating that "Cuts,

closures and privatisations are all the Liberals have in store for our health care."

"We're building a $20 million intensive care unit and short stay unit at the Angliss Hospital, complete with enough beds for patients requiring urgent, specialist care," Ms Hennessy said.

Information received by the Mail, from the state Health Ministers office states that the construction of stage 2 of the Angliss development will be completed in the coming weeks and that commissioning, including the new emergency department and new ICU, is expected to happen in October.

Q&A What is something people generally don't know about you?

They mistake me from being from Sweden but I'm from Switzerland.

What is one of your most memorable moments?

It would probably be coming to Australia.

What would your final meal be?

I actually don't like food, I only eat because it's essential to survive. Whatever comes up on the day I suppose? It could be vegetables, a lump of meat, it honestly doesn't matter ...

I'm not a food person.

What has been your favourite piece of work to create to-date?

I'm actually quite proud of the extension we did at home for my wife's dental studio. I'm not a builder, but we built it and it looks really nice. Some friends helped me, and we used recycled building material, so it's always satisfying when you can reuse something and not go down to Bunning's and buy something brand spanking new.

What event, past, present or future would you like to witness?

It would've been nice to see a dinosaur hopping around, that would be pretty memorable, though it would have to be with David Attenborough ... imagine history through his voice What would you say has been a passion in your life?

Life itself ... we have a bit of property, a bunch of goats and we're looking after them so that's a bit of a passion, and of course cartooning.

From where do you draw inspiration?

Everyone. For caricature, or cartoon it is everyday life. I could just sit out there in a coffee shop and watch people; the way they dress, the way they walk, the way they interact, it's so fascinating those little idiosyncrasies. I don't look up to famous people to inspire me; rather I take a snippet out of everyone. It's like you're building your own Frankenstein.

with The Mail's resident cartoonist, Danny Zemp What is your favourite television show?

At the moment, Gruen on ABC. What three guests, dead or alive, would you invite to a dinner party?

Albert Einstein to see how smart he really is, Brian Cox because he's fascinating and I like his voice, and I would love to see Florence, from Florence and the Machine ... I just like voices in general.

What are you working on right now?

I was just shifting some logs to be milled up.

I've got an old 72 Bedford Telstra truck and it lifts those logs, then it's finishing off this week's cartoon.

Is there a new medium that you've been exploring or would like to explore in the future?

I wouldn't mind dipping my toes into animation, but the reality is you're wasting days after days after days working on a few seconds of an animation. It is an interesting aspect though as you can tell the story with facial expressions in motion and that's fascinating to me.

I like to look at people and see how they change their face and exaggerate it. It's like a caricature. You squish there face and lighten them up so you have that animated look and feel; I love doing that.

Do you see the world in caricature?

I can, it's not hard to do.

Which object that you've lost do you wish you still had?

It's something that I lost in Australia and it's nothing fancy or particularly good at all. It was a character that had an eight metre long tail. It's called a 'Marsupilami.' It looked like a panther, and it's from a French comic book and it looked really cool on the motorbike. I'd strap him on the back and his tail was flailing in the wind and I just lost that one day. It just fell off; I keep missing it because it was such a cool thing to have.

Designed to save lives If there's one thing Upper Ferntree Gully CFA volunteer Darren Johnson wants to protect as much as his community, it's his fellow firefighters.

Darren has a devised a simple system so firefighters can easily access safety blankets if they're stuck in a burn-over.

The ingenious blanket retention and deployment system earned Darren a highly commended honour in the recent Spirit of CFA awards where he came runner-up out of 23 other volunteer around the state.

In 2009 three brigade members were caught in a fire that destroyed their truck.

"From hearing their stories about trying to get the blankets out from behind their seats and out of their plastic bags in in a time-critical burn-over, I thought we could come up with a better system," Darren said.

Darren used space in the rollover protection area to store two blankets.

He came up with a design that was trialled and found to be easy to handle. The system has since been updated to make it more practical, with a bigger release handle that is more visible and added clips and buckles making it easier to re-stow.

In burn-overs, curtains cover truck windows and a spray system puts water over the truck and the thick blankets are a vital part of their line of defence.

All firefighters escaped the 2009 fire, but Darren said their experiences continued to resonate with the brigade.

"With this system you've got a blanket out in seconds," he said.

The system is used in both upper Ferntree Gully trucks. Darren has also installed a set on Mt Evelyn's truck.

"It's simple and inexpensive and because it's a strap it can go between different styles of roll bars," Darren said. "You just have to reach up and the blanket is deployed in seconds, and it's easy to re-set."

Gifted land for the birds

By Derek Schlennstedt A 20ha piece of prime bushland in Macclesfield - dedicated to the life's work and memory of Healesville wildlife champion, the late Jeanne Wilcox - has been handed over to The Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater.

The land is set to be included in the Yellingbo Nature Reserve.

The transaction was negotiated by Trust for Nature with funds from the Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Association and the Myer Foundation.

Yellingbo Nature Conservation Reserve is home to Victoria's bird emblem, the Helmeted Honeyeater, and the lowland Lead beater's Possum.

Now the 20ha will help to provide extra habitat for these endangered animals.

Members of Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater (FoHHE), Parks Victoria and DELWP, JESWA volunteers, Trust for Nature staff joined Member for Monbulk James Merlino on Friday 1 June to formally hand-over the Jeanne Wilcox Reserve.

Deputy Premier of Victoria, James Merlino, handed over the land to FoHHE and spoke highly of the collective involvement it took to purchase the land.

"We are so fortunate to have the friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater, a group of passionate volunteers protecting not only the Helmeted Honeyeater, but the Lead beater's possum and to be supported by Parks Victoria, DELWP, Yarra Ranges Council," Mr Merlino said.

"To have the Myer foundation and Judith Earley foundation provide the funding and then Trust for Nature to do the negotiations on behalf and then gifting that land to the state, and then from there back to Parks Victoria, FoHHEr and DELWP to protect it.

"It's just this great circle of support and

Described by FoHHE president Alan Clayton as a wonderful, unique piece of land, Mr Clayton thanked the family of the late Willy

Veit who had owned and cared for the land known as 'Bilagal' for the past 20 years.

That land is perfect of the Lead beaterss possum and endangered Helmeted Honeyeater with no revegetation needed due to the

availability of dense forest which is preferred by both species.

Victoria Marles, CEO of Trust for Nature, said it was a "delight to pass the land on to the public".

LETTERS Presumptive cancer rights need support I find the decision by the Andrews Labour Government to dismiss moves by the Liberal Nationals to introduce presumptive cancer rights for Victorian firefighters very disappointing.

This proposed legislation would have given firefighters, diagnosed with certain cancers, compensation without needing to prove their cancer was related to their role as a firefighter.

Under the presumptive rights legislation, it would be accepted that their firefighting service was the cause, allowing them to claim compensation through Worksafe.

The Liberal Nationals presumptive rights bill would give volunteer firefighters direct access to cancer compensation without the need for an exhaustive, 'jumping through hoops' process to prove their case.

Labor cannot be trusted with the lives of

our volunteer firefighters.

In the lead-up to the last election, Labor promised it would introduce presumptive rights inside 100 days if they won.

They did win: and three-and-a-half years later they showed complete disregard for the needs of firefighters by voting down the same legislation they previously promised.

The Andrews Government decided to tie their bill to split up the CFA, giving the firefighters union power over CFA decisions, to the presumptive rights legislation.

The Liberal Nationals saw through this sneaky tactic and voted down that bill to protect the CFA and CFA volunteers.

When Labour failed to introduced the presumptive rights bill, with 'no strings attached', the Liberal National felt compelled to introduce their own 'no strings attached' bill, which backdates eligibility to 9 March, 2015.

Currently, volunteer firefighter's eligibility

to receive compensation for contracting certain cancers is dependent on an advisory committee to judge every volunteer firefighter to decide if they: 'attended fires to the extent reasonably necessary to fulfil the purpose of their service as a firefighter'. Career firefighters are not subjected to such discriminatory scrutiny'.

This unfair obstacle will be removed by the Liberal Nationals, making the road to cancer compensation the same for both career and volunteer firefighters.

The Liberal Nationals' presumptive rights bill shows they value the volunteers who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe all year round, not just during the summer months.

It's difficult to understand how Daniel Andrews, and his city-focused Labor government, can be so dismissive of the medical needs of our CFA volunteer firefighters and vote down this vital piece of legislation.

If Daniel Andrews won't protect firefight-

My wife and I recently enjoyed a week's holiday in South Australia.

We were impressed by the lack of roadside litter and their recycling system in public places like the zoo and the botanic gardens.

Unfortunately, when we returned, Victoria was, by comparison, not so clean.

Peter Cook, Clematis

Full house a grand sight David Greenaway liked nothing better than a full house.

That extra chairs had to be found would have pleased him more.

To a packed house on Saturday night, 19 May, Margaret Gemmell told of David's dream and achievement, the Gem Theatre, where we were seated.

To honour him, the Dandenong Ranges Orchestra, conducted by Alexander Vengerovski, gave us a program of 'Valse!'

More than 40 musicians filled the stage, playing some well-loved pieces by Strauss, Tchaikovsky, Grieg and some better known by Mancini, Sibelius and others.

The Shostakovich Waltz No.2 with which the evening ended was so appreciated it was repeated bringing the concert to a joyful close.

It was noted by all that the conductor and musicians enjoyed working together while one little girl attached herself to the pianist who took the harp's part, enjoying every note.

There is no doubt that Emerald does value music, as did David.

Beryl Bartacek, Emerald

After living on the mountain for 14 years, and having spent 25 years working in the theatre industry, I am excited to hear that Mount Dandenong maybe getting a theatre of our own.

The proposed theatre building, known as the Forest Hive, will be built on the grounds of Sherbrooke Community School, replacing a dilapidated old house.

I don't have children at the Sherbrooke community school, but I see this building as an amazing asset for the rest of the community.

Mount Dandenong has always been a thriving place for actors, musicians, visual artists and creative people; and I have always thought there was a need for an actual performance space on the mountain.

Not only would it be a venue for the school, local schools and dance schools who currently have to hire theatres 30 or 40 minutes away off the mountain, but it would also be a venue for local theatre companies, professional touring companies and would open up opportunities for partnerships with local artists and mentoring programs.

Although Burrinja Cultural Centre is within 15km of the proposed Forest Hive, in no way do I believe it would detract from their business.

In fact, having another performance space in the area could benefit both theatres opening up the Dandenong Ranges as an arts precinct; bringing in more tourism to the area.

Many other theatres that are built within close proximity to one another are thriving.

For example, the George Wood centre at Yarra Valley Grammar, the Karraleika theatre in Ringwood and the Whitehorse Centre in Nunnawading are all within a short distance of one another and are all successful venues in their own right.

On behalf of the arts community, I think this theatre could be a wonderful addition to our beautiful mountain!

Gardens to be everywhere

By Derek Schlennstedt From Selby to Lilydale, students will be getting their hands dirty building vegie and bush tucker gardens, indigenous and sensory gardens.

Upwey Preschool, Ferny Creek primary and Selby primary are a few of the 219 Victorian schools to receive a grant from the Powerful Youth Projects, in the second year of the program funded by Momentum Energy through its partnership with Junior Landcare.

Following a successful first year, which saw more than 24,000 students engaging in over

200 projects, the Powerful Youth Projects program rolled out across the state again in 2018.

Momentum Energy has funded 219 Powerful Youth Projects across Victoria to the tune of almost $205000.

Of the schools to receive a grant was Selby Primary school, for their sustainability garden project and Ferny Creek for their Indigenous garden project.

Upwey Pre School also received a grant for their Indigenous Garden and Bush Cubby project and Lilydale for thir Bush Foods Garden and Compost area.

The variety of the projects range from veggie or bush tucker gardens to composting or recycling projects, sensory gardens and other sustainable or environmental ideas.

Other projects include those to learn about biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, including bee projects, frog bogs and native revegetation.

Dr Shane Norris, Landcare Australian Acting CEO, said he was delighted to be able to support so many schools in Victoria.

"Junior Landcare is all about encouraging young people to play an active role in ensuring

the safe future of their environment," he said.

"It's fantastic to be working in partnership with Momentum Energy two years in a row supporting thousands of children to get 'hands on' with nature ... last year's projects produced exciting results and we can't wait to see this year's projects come to fruition."

Through the projects, schools, childcare centres and youth groups across Victoria will see young people actively caring for and learning about their natural environment.

Day to treasure gardens

By Peter Douglas An estimated 1600 nature-lovers helped to celebrate Botanic Garden Day on Sunday 27 May at the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens.

Visitors from near and far took time out from their busy schedules to enjoy the vibrantcoloured leaves of autumn, as well as the chance to spot the odd kookaburra or lyrebird, while inspecting plants and stalls run by the Australian Rhododendron Society and Friends of George Tindale Memorial Gardens.

Ranger Team Leader, Tex Moon, said the huge turn-out was a fantastic result for this time of year, with many families and couples enjoying the special day.

Botanic Gardens Day is a national event to celebrate the role that botanic gardens play in species conservation.

The Dandenong Ranges Botanic Garden is particularly special because it is the first garden to participate in the recently launched 'Care for the Rare' program.

Its aim is to provide a safeguard for rare and

threatened Victorian plant species against extinction in the wild.

Senior Ranger at the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens, Craig Parsons, recently said species have been matched to a botanic garden where they are expected to adapt.

"In the Dandenong Ranges, we are getting more alpine and mountain type plants, because this is obviously a location where they're most likely to grow," he said.

"We're lucky here; we're already establishing this alpine garden. So when this program came up, they thought of us straight away because it fits in here."

Six gardens have been chosen for the first round of the program, including the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens, Victoria's newest botanic gardens.

Several rare species will be added to their collection, including Bogong Daisy-bush, or Oleria frostii, which naturally occurs in Victoria's alpine regions and is highly susceptible to impact from climate change.

Happy visitors could be observed throughout the Dandenong Ranges Botanic Gardens. 181432 Picture: PARKS VICTORIA

Nate, Harley and Isabelle from Bimbadeen Heights Primary School, with Sam and Steve from Melba Support Services "Getting to hear about real experiences, from people who are living with a disability, can help to get rid of those wrong ideas.

"For some of these students, this will be the first time they've had the chance to hear about those experiences.

"This is an incredibly important program, not just for the students who will gain a greater understanding about the world, but for the Melba clients who get to meet enthusiastic young people and erase some of the misconceptions that are out there."

Pensioners will be able to access renewable energy with no upfront costs, to reduce their power bills and their carbon footprint, thanks to the latest round of Solar Savers.

The Solar Savers program allows pensioners (including seniors or people with a disability) who own their own home to apply to purchase a Council-endorsed quality solar system.

Yarra Ranges Mayor, Cr Len Cox, said the systems will be installed by a local contractor and purchased with a low-interest bank loan to be paid back gradually over 10 years.

"Households who sign up have access to the bank loan, subject to normal bank lending criteria, with power bill savings covering the cost of repayments," he said.

"Solar Savers will check to make sure every household taking part will be at least $100 in front, compared to their current usage and bills.

"This program has been designed to make it easier for pensioners to get a solar system installed, to help them save money, stay comfortable in extreme weather and lower their carbon emissions.

"At council, we're proud to be leading the way in the community with renewable energy, and helping local households to get on board with this pioneering program."

Solar Savers is a partnership between more than 20 Victorian Councils and four regional Greenhouse Alliances.

Sign-ups open on 28 May and are open until Friday, 13 July. Places are strictly limited.

Contact Solar Savers if you own your own home, have a Government Pension Card, are usually home from 9am-5pm, have an average-to-high electricity use and do not currently have solar panels installed.

A program to encourage inclusion for people living with a disability will continue to roll out at schools across the Yarra Ranges and beyond, with the support of Council's Community Grants.

The One Community program involves people living with a disability and Melba Support Services staff visiting schools to discuss what their lives are like, with a Q&A session to clear up misconceptions young people may have about disabilities.

Melba's Kathryn van der Haar said the organisation was planning to run three talks at schools through the year, such as one at Mooroolbark's Bimbadeen Heights Primary School.

"We've been building bridges with the schools, so we can come back again and chat with the senior students," Ms van der Haar said.

"From our point-of-view, we thought the Bimbadeen students asked some great questions and raised some really great observations - they were really respectful and it was worthwhile for us."

As part of the program, the speakers and students paint their hands and decorate tote bags. Bimbadeen student, Harley, said the day was a "handful of fun."

One Community received funding through Council's annual Grants for Community, which will provide a total of $390,000 in 2019 to projects under three streams: Community Development, Festivals and Events and Arts and Heritage.

Yarra Ranges Mayor, Cr Len Cox, said the program would help young people to connect with people living with a disability.

"Through representations in the media and stereotypes, it's easy for people to get the wrong idea about those who have a disability.

Nomination for longlist

By Peter Douglas Upwey-based author Lia Hills has entered the company of Australia's literary elite, after earning a place on the 2018 Longlist for the prestigious Miles Franklin Literary Award.

Her latest novel, 'The Crying Place', has captured the hearts of not only avid readers, but critics as well, who have nominated Hills' first adult release as among the finest offerings of 2017, along with the likes of Peter Carey, Michelle de Krester and Kim Scott.

For Hills, the novel is the culmination of five years of hard work and dedication, with its origins in her teenage years and her observations about the treatment of Indigenous Australians.

Hills, who has spent time travelling and volunteering in central Australia, said the novel was not only a way to shed light on important cultural issues, but a cathartic process for her personally.

She was born in New Zealand and moved to Tasmania at age 15, when she was shocked at the absence of Indigenous culture.

This was in the 1980s, when she heard the words, "we got rid of them".

"I've remained haunted by the implied brutality of that phrase and the absence of an Indigenous presence," Hills said.

"I knew one day that haunting would find its voice."

The novel itself follows the story of the protagonist, Saul, who receives the devastating news of the death of his oldest friend, Jed, who recently returned from working in a remote Aboriginal community.

Saul's discovery in Jed's belongings of a photo of a woman convinces him that she may hold the answers to Jed's fate.

So Saul heads out on a journey into the heart of the Australian desert to find the truth.

Hills moved to the Dandenong Ranges around 20 years ago and she has been prolific, with her work including poetry and books for young adults.

She also conducts spoken-word sessions at the Burrinja Cultural Centre and other literarybased activities.

Hills is also a regular at the Belgrave Library, where she can often be seen editing her work.

On the award itself, she said it was a little unnerving to be considered among such great Australian authors.

"When you look at some of those names, it's pretty scary. But it's given me renewed confidence and energy, as well as the opportunity to take this novel to greater audiences," she said.

"The novel is for those who are not sure how to speak about these things, for those who carry around their own wounds."

Hills said her novels can be purchased through the Belgrave Book Barn, or through her publisher, Allen & Unwin.

The Miles Franklin Literary Award was established through the will of 'My Brilliant Career' author, Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin.

Patrick White, the first winner of the literary prize, was crowned in 1957 with 'Voss'; and, since then, the award has presented more than $1.1 million to Australian authors.

The award shines light on some of Australia's most talented writers.

While the prize has been given to a truly wide scope of novels, it has always remained true to the terms of Miles Franklin's will: to be of the highest literary merit and presenting Australian life in any phase.

An iceberg of bad decisions The Titan Starring Sam Worthington, Taylor Schilling and Tom Wilkinson Rated M The Titan is a boring, inept mess of a movie.

US veteran Rick Janssen (Sam Worthington) becomes a test subject in a risky program for adapting humans to survive on Titan, Saturn's largest moon.

The Titan has ambitious themes of space colonisation and forced evolution, and reaches far but fails miserably.

Rick develops striking new abilities, but his lack of depth and Worthington's wooden performance make his exploration of these abilities fall flat. The entire Titan program carries no urgency, as the film only has trite exposition and stock footage to convince us of the necessity of colonising Titan.

The characters are bland archetypes, the dialogue is awkward, and much of the film's run-time consists of repetitive tests and training punctuated by poorly-shot brutality. The film's editing and camerawork are atrocious, with abrupt scene transitions and absentminded framing of characters and locations.

The Titan program's genetic methods are so vague and silly that the film's moments of body horror - while sometimes creepy - come across as arbitrary, and Professor Cunningham (Tom Wilkinson), the leader of the program, is so obviously shady that his reveal as the villain is pointless.

It's also utterly bizarre how, in the climax, the villain is defeated but also vindicated after all the suffering he caused.

The Titan is available for streaming on Netflix, but I'd advise you avoid this aimless slog.

Cold conditions, hot play

By Cameron Hutchison Round 6 was played in cold but sunny conditions; spectators were jostling for sunshine, while on the ground there were some big winners.

The winners in senior football: Emerald, Mt Evelyn, Monbulk, Olinda-Ferny Creek, Healesville, Alexandra, Powelltown, Yarra Glen and Seville.

A Grade netball winners: Belgrave, Warburton-Millgrove, Olinda-Ferny Creek, Monbulk Hawks, Woori Yallock, Kinglake, Seville and Yea. And the Winners in the Reserves were Emerald, Mt Evelyn, Upwey Tecoma, Olinda Ferny Creek, Healesville, Alexandra, Powelltown, Yea & a draw between Yarra Junction & Seville.

The Under 18s Winners were Alexandra, Mt Evelyn, Upwey Tecoma, Woori Yallock and Gembrook-Cockatoo.

Division 1 Seniors Football Emerald 17.20.122 d Belgrave 12.10.82 Emerald have given themselves a bit of breathing space towards the bottom of the ladder after a good win over Belgrave. Belgrave got the early lead kicking 4.1 to 2.5 in the first and a lead of eight points at quarter-time. Both sides kicked four majors in the second; the game was evenly poised at the main break with Belgrave holding a slim lead of six points. Emerald took control in the third with a 16-point turnaround to go into the last quarter with a 10-point buffer. It was all Emerald in the last piling on 6.5 to 1.5 to come away 40-point winners in the end.

Emerald Best: J. O'Sullivan (5 goals), Mat Dompietro, B. Moloney (1 goal), R. Goonan (1 goal), J. Pedder (1 goal), S. Semmens Belgrave Best: R. Matthews (2 goals), D. Noy, P. Gough (3 goals), L. Sproules, B. Raaymakers, W. Carlyle Mt Evelyn 22.13.145 d Warburton Millgrove 4.5.29 Mt Evelyn now sit fourth on the ladder by percentage only while Warburton-Millgrove have fallen down the ladder. Mt Evelyn were in complete control from the outset and opened with 8 goals to 2 in the first. They rammed home another 6 in the second while Warburton could only manage 3 behinds. Mt Evelyn again struggled with accuracy in the third with 8 scoring shot but only 3 majors but they held Warburton to just 1 behind and their lead going into the last was 95 points. Warburton kicked 2 straight in the last but it was all over bar the shouting.

Mt Evelyn Best: J. Beamish, J. Thompson (5 goals), M. Condello (4 goals), L. Francis, A. Chalkley (2 goals), D. Matarazzo Warburton-Millgrove Best: M. Wappett, T. McKail, L. Barnard, B. Clinch, S. Andueza, B. Norfolk Monbulk 15.10.100 d Upwey-Tecoma 11.10.76 Monbulk have kept themselves in touch with the 5 after a solid performance against third placed Upwey-Tecoma. The first quarter was a tight affair with both sides kicking 4.3 and neither of them giving an inch. Monbulk managed to break away slightly in the second and went into the main break with a 5-point lead. Monbulk came out inspired in the third and kicked 4.3 to 1.1 to increase their lead to 25 points at three-quarter time. Upwey-Tecoma won the last quarter by 1 point, but it was Monbulk who would sing the song tonight.

Monbulk Best: M. Langworthy (6 goals), S. Williams, J. Major, S. McBride (5 goals), B. Emmett, P. Barge Upwey Tecoma Best: P. Broecker (1 goal), S. Waters, S. Dawson, B. Sheppard (2 goals), B. Oates, D. Bell Olinda Ferny Creek 14.16.100 d Wandin 9.7.61 Olinda Ferny Creek remain undefeated on top of the ladder after a convincing 39-point win over second placed Wandin. Olinda got the early jump with 3 goals to 1 in the first and were never really challenged from there. They held Wandin to 2 goals in the second but kicked 4 themselves so they went into the half-time break 25 points up. The third quarter was an even contest but Wandin had a lot of work to do in the last if they were going to come back.

Both sides kicked 4 goals in the last, so it was never going to happen for Wandin in the end.

Olinda Ferny Creek Best: M. Wright (1 goal), J. Rankin, M. Hottes (1 goal), R. Cottam-Starkey (3 goals), D. Troutman (1 goal), H. Greenall Wandin Best: H. Byrne, J. Del Giudice, P. Bruzzese (1 goal), D. Ladner, P. Hodgett, B. Mills 24 MAIL

Olinda's Mitchell Wright was best on ground.

Olinda's defence was strong against Wandin.

Tom Millwood gets a handball away. 181605 Healesville 10.15.75 d Woori Yallock 5.9.39 Healesville now have a share of 5th spot with Woori Yallock but are 6th on percentage after a good win under lights on the weekend.

The first quarter was low scoring with only 3 goals being kicked but Healesville had the advantage by 9 points at quarter time. The second quarter was not all that inspiring either but they extended their lead to 14 points at half-time. Woori Yallock could not get their game going at all in the third only managing 4 behinds, but Healesville took control with 2.3 to have what was going to be a lead that Woori could not chase down. Healesville threw everything at the goals in the last with 10 scoring shot to 4 and came away winners in the cold of the night.

Healesville Best: R. Woodford (3 goals), L. Daly, J. Savage (2 goals), A. Fraraccio, N. Mende, K. Niki (2 goals) Woori Yallock Best: R. Allen, L. Boontjes (1 goal), J. Matthews (2 goals), J. Wall, S. Kennedy, K. Thompson Division 2 Seniors Football Alexandra 33.21.219 d Thornton Eildon 2.2.14 Alexandra have jumped from 7th to 5th on the ladder and given themselves a percentage boost of 58.60 after a very big win over Thornton Eildon on Saturday. Alexandra took control in the first, kicking 6.4 to 1.2 and went into the second 32 points in front. They exploded in the second, kicking 9.4 to 1 straight to have the game all sewn up at half-time with a lead of 84 points. Unfortunately, Thornton were held scoreless in the third as all the play was in Alexandra's forward line where they piled on 8.4 and went into the last well in command.

The last quarter was the biggest with 10.9 being kicked. Alexandra had 13 goalkickers in all for the day.

Alexandra Best: B. Norris (11 goals), J. Brereton (4 goals), M. Steiner (3 goals), B. Cooper (1 goal), C. McKay (3 goals), T. Halligan Thornton Eildon Best: W. Cody, B. Davis, D. Creed, J. Sloane, A. Phelps Powelltown 20.17.137 d Kinglake 7.6.48 Powelltown and Kinglake are sharing seventh spot on the ladder after Powelltown's win pushed Kinglake from sixth to eighth.

Powelltown got the early lead by 9 points at quarter time and that is where the game probably finished for Kinglake. Powelltown kicked

Pictures: BETHANY HUTCHISON 6.4 to 1.3 in the second to have a handy lead of 40 points at half-time. The third quarter tightened up but Powelltown still managed to increase their lead by 9 points. Powelltown really put Kinglake to the sword in the last not allowing them to score while they jammed on 6 goals to come away with a big win.

Powelltown Best: B. Wratten (2 goals), W. Dore, J. Mitchell, R. McCrimmon (2 goals), T. Robinson, D. Saunderson (2 goals) Kinglake Best: M. Quinton, J. Butterworth (1 goal), M. McAllister (1 goal), J. Crowe, J. Hamilton (1 goal), M. Newton Yarra Glen 15.17.107 d Yea 7.7.49 Yarra Glen remain undefeated on top of the ladder after a solid hit out against Yea. Yarra Glen got the early points on the board that set up the rest of the game. By half time, they had a lead of 32 points and were looking comfortable. The third quarter was low scoring but Yea could not break Yarra Glen's defensive line to put any pressure on the scoreboard. Yarra Glen kicked 5.6 to 3.1 in the last to win by 58 points by the final siren.

Yarra Glen Best: A. Moate (2 goals), L. Telford (1 goal), D. Hurley (1 goal), A. Smith (1 goal), R. Gurney (2 goals), A. Beath Yea Best: J. Salau, S. Connell, J. Ryan, T. Kirkham, A. McCarthy (2 goals), C. Graham Seville 18.11.119 d Yarra Junction 9.13.67 Seville have jumped a game clear of Yarra Junction and now sit second with Yarra Junction & Gembrook Cockatoo sharing third spot.

Seville took the early lead by 7 points at quarter time. They opened that gap to 23 points at half-time after a 5 goal to 2, second quarter.

Yarra Junction held Seville to 3 goals in the third, but could not make any inroads to the lead and went into the last 35 points behind.

A 6-goal last quarter to Seville and the day was done for the Eagles.

Seville Best: J. Cecere (1 goal), C. Suban, N. O'Keefe (5 goals), J. Noble, J. Young (3 goals), B. Penwill Yarra Junction Best: K. Robb (1 goal), M. Sword, T. Fennell, T. Armstrong, J. Holmes, J.

Monbulk junior football

Outstanding team shines

By Jamie Strudley Yarra Ranges Athletics athletes travelled to Cruden Farm, Langwarrin, on Saturday for the Little Athletics Victoria Cross Country Relay Championships.

Teams of three took turns completing a lap of the testing Cruden Farm circuit, along with over 100 other athletes from around Victoria.

Yarra Ranges Athletics had three teams competing, with each team bring a mix of athletes from various age groups. The club was represented in Girls Under 10s and Under 14s and Boys Under 13s.

Every athlete ran exceptionally well, resulting in some outstanding individual performances and team results. The Under 10s Girls team of Steph Van Bemmel, Eva Johnson and Zoe Clarke combined to finish in 10th place out of 23 teams in their three times 1km relay.

Eva and zoe are Udner 9s athletes so were running up a grade.

The Under 14s girls team of Mia Strudley, Bethany Whitelaw and Indigo Linde were convincing winners of their three times 2km relay.

An even more impressive performance considering Bethany was running up two grades and Indigo up one grade. Well done to the latest Victorian State Champions! The Uner 13s Boys team of Zac Clarke, Bailey Van Bert and Ky Harris finished their three times 2km in 8th place. Both Ky and Bailey were running up a grade so an outstanding result in a very competitive age group.

Results: Girls U10 3 x 1km Team 10th Steph 4.16, Eva 5.19, Zoe 4.06 Girls U14 3 x 2km Team 1st Mia 7.53, Bathany 8.15, Indi 7.07

State Championship winning team: Mia, Indi Picture: ERIKA BEDYN and Bethany. 181592 Boys U13 3 x 2km Team 8th Zac 7.47, Bailey, 8.13, Ky 7.59 The regular Saturday Morning cross country was at a chilly anf foggy Lillydale Lake.

Well done to all the brave athletes and supporters who turned up to enjoy the sunshine when it arrived. Next week the club is at Margaret Lewis Reserve, Coldstream.

Everyone is welcome to join in and run which ever distance you like. Why not bring a friend, neighbour or parent to have a go.

A reminder that Region Cross Country Champiosnhips are coming up on 23 June.

The club really wants to see everyone running on a great course around Ruffey Lake, Doncaster.

Check the website for entry details.

All teams travelled away today as the club heads into the halfway mark of the season.

The teams are continuing to play competitive football and enjoying the crisp morning starts before the rain sets in.

Teams are improving - but so are the opposition.

Four quarters of football and teamwork are needed for the rest of the footy year.

Go Hawks Under 9s A tremendous effort by the team. They got to the ball first and worked hard all game. They shared the ball well and looked after their teammates. Very proud of the Under 9s.

Best: R. Koelewyn, W. Heap, O. Watson, B. McConchie, H. Comfort Under 10s It was a great day of footy today. They were up against a strong Upwey side. They started slowly but defended well for the first quarter.

They hit back in the second and third quarter playing man on man footy. A really tight competitive hit out for our Under 10s today. Great game.

Best: B.Henning, S. Zaccaria, H. Brooks, W. Davidson-Tuck, C.Palmer Under 11s The team was outplayed by a much stronger team. Regardless, there were some exceptional individual performances and matching up on players were highlights.

Monbulk 0.0.0 v Healesville 14.7.91 Best: Toby, Etienne, Drew, Liam, Ollie Under 12s Monbulk 2.3.15 v Healesville White 3.2.20 Under 14s Blue Probably summed up as a frustrating day today. A first quarter to forget. Three quarters of matching it with them held us in good stead.

Monbulk 1.1.7 v Emerald 5.12.42 Best: B. Smith, M. Rouget, W. Henderson, C. McLean, H.Strathawn Under 14s Green

A team-building occasion for the Monbulk junior footballers. 181594 A little short on numbers today meant they needed the Belgrave boys to help us out.

Smiles returned to the kids' faces today after a tough couple of weeks. Congratulations to Charlie C for his first goal at the club.

Monbulk 16 v Belgrave 90 Best: Aaron, Tim, Cameron, Abiah, Charlie Under 14s Girls Bye Under 16s The boys had a tough contest. It was very physical around the stoppages. They worked hard all day and did a good job to finish in front.

Monbulk 9.10.64 v Mount Evelyn 5.7.37 Best: T. Taylor, J. Spencer, S. Farmer, W. Fahey, G. McClelland Under 18s Girls Great team performance with the girls taking a big step forward in playing this game. Being first to the ball is key; and the girls, with a bit more work, will take some scalps in the run home.

Monbulk 5.6.36 v Donvale 5.2.32 Best: Tahlia, Olivia, Arnen, Maddy G

The 42nd Historic Winton was a huge hit on the weekend, with more than 10,000 people in attendance from all over the state and Australia.

Organising committee member Paul Goethel said huge crowds flocked to the event.

"We had perfect weather, the crowds piled in and the riders and drivers enjoyed the great competition and camaraderie that Historic Winton is famous for," he said.

"Accommodation in the region was at capacity, as eateries and cafes benefited from the mass inflows of motor enthusiasts.

"The historic car, motorbike and sidecar races were thrill a minute as each era of vehicle sped around Winton Motor Raceway."

Some notable race cars on the track included: a 1957 Morris Minor Special, Formula Junior 1962 Lynx, 1963 Toron, 1953 Allard J2X and 1937 DKW F7 Special.

Some cars reached an average speed of more than 195km/h with lap times as low as 56 seconds.

A record number of vintage motorbikes entered the HMRAV races with 135 bikes racing across four categories.

The crowd was enthralled by the twists and turns of the sidecar races on the Winton short track.

The Sunday Parade lap was a real spectacle, showcasing pristine historic cars, antique fire engines, retro police cars and a strong show of Austin Healey Bugeyed Sprites.

A large heritage display of rare vintage and veteran cars attracted crowds in the competition paddock Strong support was given by Vintage Drivers Club, Ford Model T and A Clubs, and the Veteran Car Club of Australia, as well as many others.

Car, motorbike, truck and caravan enthusiasts travelled to Historic Winton in their own pride and joy vehicles, forming a 2500-plus showcase, which may well be Australia's largest show 'n' shine.

Also on show was an extensive steam-engine display, classic commercial trucks and vintage caravans.

The Car of the Meeting Award and Best Presented Regularity Car was won by Kathrynna Barnes in her 1933 Barnes three-wheeler special.

Fastest Car of the Meeting was won by David Hardman, who clocked the 56 second time in his Hardman JH-1.

Since Historic Winton has been presented for 42 years by the Austin Seven Club, in association with the HMRAV, a trophy for the fastest Austin Seven is awarded.

This year's went to Stuart Steinfort with a lap time of 1.22s.
