Traders’ glee at 700 new clients High-paying WorkSafe’s finally here

HIGH LIFE: WorkSafe’s Tom Lynch, Carly Britt, Marijana Skoko and Adrian Cameron check the view from the fifth floor of their new office with Geelong MP Christine Couzens and Finance Minister Robin Scott.

By Luke Voogt Traders welcomed the official opening of WorkSafe’s headquarters yesterday as more than 500 employees previously working in Melbourne relocated to Geelong.

The relocation could “only be a good thing for Geelong CBD”, cafe owner Damian Rabbas said.

“It’s a positive for traders and we certainly have had a few new faces in today.”

More than 700 people now work at the headquarters, with about 200 Geelong-based employees moving there in May. But Mr Rabbas wished State Government had begun the move “five years ago” to help revive central Geelong.

“They’re behind where they should have been,” he said.

Geelong barber Vince Manganelli was equally thrilled with the opening.

“I think it will be fantastic for Geelong,” he said.

“We get some spinoff business and we get some more people coming to area.”

TEXTURED: Archibald winner Yvette Coppersmith's unique self portrait is one of 36 paintings on display at Geelong Gallery until 19 August for the Geelong contemporary art prize. The gallery selected the artworks from 550 entries from around Australia.

From page 1 Worksafe plans to recruit more people from Geelong, like Ocean Grove resident Carly Britt, who began working for the authority in January 2018.

“WorkSafe moving to Geelong has given me a fantastic opportunity for career progression that’s close to home,” the 28-year-old said.

“After commuting to Melbourne for work over the past six years, I’m very thankful WorkSafe headquarters have set up in Geelong.”

Almost 90 of the 500 workers who relocated had purchased homes in Geelong, while others rented locally or commuted from Melbourne, according to Worksafe.

But some were unhappy with the move.

Two Melbourne-based workers, who asked not be named, urged State Government to build a fast rail to Geelong.

“The commute is too long,” one said.

State Finance Minister Robin Scott opened the 14-storey headquarters and Geelong’s tallest commercial building yesterday.

“The relocation of WorkSafe is a monumental undertaking and a huge achievement for everyone involved,” he said.

Property group Quintessential Equity built the $120 million headquarters, creating 250 jobs during peak construction.

“Geelong locals have been the backbone of the project, making up a majority of the workforce,” Geelong MP Christine Couzens said.

The influx of professional workers would benefit local small to medium businesses, said Geelong Chamber of Commerce president Bernadette Uzelac.

Worksafe employees purchasing goods and services would “have a measurable impact upon the local economy”, she said.

The average wage at Worksafe for a senior business coordinator is $123,747, while administrative officers earn $68,329 on average, according to jobs website Indeed.

IN BRIEF Bombs away

Wedding crasher to appeal prison term An Ocean Grove man who stole thousands from a wedding on the Bellarine Peninsula in March has been released on bail after appealing his prison sentence.

Leigh Webber, 41, pleaded guilty in Geelong Magistrates’ Court on Monday to stealing $3700 from the wedding of Breanna and Danny Harrison at Jack Rabbit Winery on 3 March.

The winery’s security cameras filmed Webber stealing the money from a wishing well box between 6pm and 11.15pm, the Indy reported in March.

Webber had been at a wedding at nearby

Terindah Estate when he had an argument with his wife, the court heard.

According to Webber’s defence lawyer, he then decided to take back a gift he provided at the wedding but went to the wrong venue.

The father-of-two used a tool from his car to break into the padlocked box and steal cashfilled envelopes before fleeing, the court heard.

Police released images of the theft and a white ute in their hunt for a suspect in March.

A magistrate sentenced Webber to two months jail following his guilty plea, noting his

Military bombs could return to Corio Bay under plans to ramp up operations at the Defence Department’s Point Wilson facility.

The department has revealed $240 million plans to store weapons including guided missiles at Point Wilson after restoring its dilapidated wharf and jetty, which closed to shipping in 2016.

Storages lower

history of dishonesty offences.

Webber served time behind bars in 2013 for stealing from a man shortly after he died.

The magistrate ordered Webber to pay the $3700 back to the Harrisons and fined him $900.

She also sentenced him to a 12-month corrections order for offences including petrol thefts.

But soon after Webber was granted bail until he appears in court again to appeal his sentence.

Capacity cats at city shelter

Northern vision A vision screening program will turn its focus to northern Geelong after referring to optometrists 38 per cent of 300 children tested in the city’s south.

Essilor Vision Foundation said it had secured a council grant to run a second screening service, with its sights set on Northern Bay College’s five campuses.

Flooding flashers New flashing signs will try discouraging motorists from taking on potentially dangerous floodwaters at a Lara creek crossing, City Hall has announced.

The Rennie St signs at Hovells Creek would accompany new rain and flood-height gauges as Lara’s growing population increased risks of increased stormwater flooding at the site, City Hall said.

By Luke Voogt Geelong cats - the non-footballing kind - are searching for the purr-fect human to cuddle this winter with shelters bursting at the seams with tabbies.

Council and Geelong Animal Welfare Society are not kitten around, with discounts on desexing and adoption to clear GAWS of paws.

GAWS’ Moolap shelter was at “absolute“ feline capacity with 354 adult cats, the group’s Cara Kirwin said.

“Of this figure, we have 114 cats available for adoption with 140 cats in foster care coming back daily.”

The remainder were lost and sick cats, with owners given eight days to collect their missing puss, Cara said.

A mild winter, prolonging kitten season, and low micro-chipping rates led to the pawful catastrophe, she said.

“There tends to be a lot of cats that get displaced this time of year.”

GAWS has reduced adoption fees until 14 July so cats like the affectionate Lilith can find a new human to worship and love them.

At 18 months, Lilith had “plenty of life left in her”, Cara said.

Council and local vets have joined the claws, discounting desexing, flea and worming treatments, micro-chipping and registration fees this month.

One pair of cats could produce up to 132 kittens in a four-year period, Cara said.

“It is critical to have them de-sexed as young as possible. Kttens can get pregnant from four or five months - people don’t realise that they can fall pregnant at such a young age.”

The discounted services come with a complementary bag of cat food. A list of participating vets is available at geelongaustralia.com. au/desexing.

The region’s water storages have entered the second month of winter at lower levels despite 11mm of rain in a week, according to official measurements.

Barwon Water recorded the storages at 50.6 per cent capacity on Wednesday after declining almost 400 million litres in seven days.

Skol-crashing finale Deakin University deputy vice-chancellor Peter Hodgson pleaded guilty to drink-driving, careless driving and unregistered driving in Geelong Magistrates’ Court yesterday.

Dr Hodgson had a blood alcohol level of .092 when he rear-ended another car at 8.30am on 4 April after flying in from Hong Kong.

Moral decay A dental coordinator will have to pay $13,000 in restitution and fines after embezzling $14,100 from her former employer Bellarine Community Health.

Fiona Provan admitted to stealing the money in Geelong Magistrates’ Court to pay bills and support her 14-year-old daughter.

Vet burglar Police have arrested and charged a 26-year-old St Albans Park man who allegedly stole a laptop from a vet in Bell Park.

The man used a tool to smash a small hole in a door glass and reach an internal handle at 3am on Saturday, police alleged.

Ratepayers’ junket slam

By Luke Voogt

STAUNCH MAGPIE: Garry Birch has become the first nominee for the 2018 Club Legend Award.

182177 (Rebecca Hosking)

Mateship's 'big' to nominee

By Luke Voogt After 50 years serving his beloved club Garry Birch has become the first nominee for Viva Energy’s 2018 Club Legend Award.

Mateship was “the biggest thing” keeping Garry at North Geelong Football and Netball Club, he told the Indy.

“I met mates playing here in under 13s and I’ve still got them at age 61,” he said.

Garry followed his father, grandfather and uncles into the club, playing 339 senior games, the second-most in the club’s history.

He went from the despair of a winless season in 1982 to the triumph winning the 1988 Geelong and District Football League premiership undefeated.

“I played in a lot of seasons where we struggled to a win a game,” he said.

“I’d almost given up on playing in a pre-

miership side. But it happened.”

After playing Garry served for decades on the club’s committee, and helped reunite players and resurrect North Geelong’s junior teams in 1991.

“We didn’t have juniors for two or three years but we ended up having two AFL players (Marc Dragicevic and Callum Bartlett) come from that,” he said.

Garry will vie for the award’s top prize of $5000 each for the winner and their club later this year.

The money would help North Geelong Football and Netball Club purchase a “badly needed” digital replacement for its dated scoreboard, he said.

“I’d be very happy for the club to get some money.“ Nominations for the Club Legend Award are open at clublegend.com.au until 3 August.

Ratepayers Geelong has slammed council for voting to send Mayor Bruce Harwood on another “junket” to Kuala Lumpur weeks after he returned from the city.

The group’s president, Andrew Senia, was gobsmacked when the Indy phoned him on Wednesday morning following the split council vote Tuesday night.

“You’re joking ... come on,” he said.

“There’s no need to go. It’s a total waste of ratepayers’ money with no short term or longterm benefits.

“We 're really getting sick and tired of this.”

Cr Harwood will return to Kuala Lumpur next Tuesday for the launch of Avalon Airport’s first international service following an invitation from Air Asia X chief Benyamin Ismail.

The decision follows Cr Harwood returning from Kuala Lumpur on 26 June after visiting the city during an 18-day, $18,000 trip to represent Geelong at a UNESCO Creative Cities Network annual meeting.

But council had “nothing” to do with AirAsia X, Avalon Airport operator Linfox, or the Department of Defence, which owned the site, Mr Senia said.

Cr Harwood had yet to “fully account” for his activities on the last trip and outline the benefits of his travels to Scotland, Italy, Poland and Malaysia, he said.

Mr Senia urged ratepayers to “unite” with his group to give themselves a “stronger voice”.

“Ratepayers in general seem to think it’s a fait accompli, that there’s nothing they can do about this sort of behaviour. But there is!”

Mr Senia advised council to stick primarily to “rates, rubbish and roads”.

“I again encourage them to remember who is paying for their salaries and all this waste that's going on.

“Ratepayers Geelong is very disappointed, not only in the mayor but also in the councillors. It’s time to look at their conduct.”

Councillors Kylie Grzybek and Eddy Kontelj voted against the latest trip on Tuesday night, citing a short turnaround and lack of notice for the launch.

“I understand the reasons we should be

WASTE: Ratepayers Geelong's Andrew Senia. there,“ Cr Grzybek told the Indy on Wednesday.

“I just couldn’t justify the community spending that extra money to go back again (two weeks later).“ But council approved the trip because the significance of the launch justified Cr Harwood’s attendance to represent Geelong, a City Hall statement said.

Attending the launch would also strengthen ties with AirAsia X and Malaysia and demonstrate Geelong’s commitment to the service, Cr Harwood said.

“The long-term impact of AirAsia X’s move to Geelong will be immensely positive for the Geelong community and its benefits cannot be underestimated.

“There will be increased employment opportunities, freight movement and this move will open up Geelong and the Great Ocean Road to more international visitors.”

Mayors from surrounding regions and 100 travel, trade and media representatives were invited to the launch, a council statement said.

But Surf Coast Shire said Mayor David Bell did not receive and invitation. Borough of Queensciffe confirmed Mayor Susan Salter would also not attend.

Wyndham City Council Mayor Peter Maynard and Geelong tourism boss Roger Grant will attend.

DOUBLE TAKE Double Take might not have a crystal ball but recent events have again confirmed this column’s predictive prowess, on matters civic at least.

Keen readers might recall last year’s prophecy that council’s new membership of UNESCO’s global Creative Cities Network would lead to international travel. Or junkets, if you prefer.

And, hey presto, so it came to pass nine months later that Mayor Bruce Harwood found himself on a plane to visit network members in Europe, with a Malaysia stopover on the way home.

Then last week Double Take implied that the final leg of the mayor’s $18,000 adventure, completed a fortnight ago, portended further travels.

As reported elsewhere, Bruce met the boss of airline AirAsiaX in Malaysia, where they “explored opportunities for increased collaboration”. Helpfully, and insightfully, Double Take decoded that as “developed justifications for further overseas travel”.

And, bada-bing bada-boom, this week the council confirmed he would indeed return to Kuala Lumpur, this time for next week’s Malaysian launch of AirAsia X’s Avalon Airport service.

So, hocus pocus, read Double Take to see into the future - although, sorry, lottery numbers are excluded.

Mind you, if council wants to win any brownie points at all on matters related to travel then it might like to consider the suggestion of Facebook user ‘John Boom’.

John this week posted several photo-shopped images of trams travelling Geelong streets.

He noted that the city, like Melbourne, had appropriately wide thoroughfares, and suggested that making room for the return of Geelong trams would simply be “a matter of rearranging lanes and parking”.

Of course, someone would have to pay, John added.

“Melbourne gets billions spent on infrastructure and its time Geelong got a share too,” he posted.

Fair enough, and just think how much happier ratepayers would be seeing their councillors riding trams rather than jets!

Meanwhile, an historic Geelong Independent

'Top cop' here for Aborigines

ALL ABOARD: John Boom's image of a tram trundling along Moorabool St, Geelong. The city had tram services from the early to mid 1900s.

(Facebook) publishing faux pas was unexpectedly regurgitated in a tribute to esteemed ABC journalist Liz Jackson this week.

Oddly, ABC TV’s Media Watch highlighted the errant photo caption during a short dedication to its former host, a nine-time Walkley Award winner who died on holiday in Greece last week.

Jackson was shown presenting the caption, which described then-mayor Barbara Abley and others celebrating a victory back in the early noughties as: “Babs, someone and someone else with a flashy trophy”.

Funny, yes, but a Jackson career highlight?

Just as well Media Watch didn’t honour her with the Independent’s only other appearance on the show, earned for a holiday guide banner dedi-

cated to the Bellarine ‘Penisula’.

Cold weather certainly affects sore joints but evidence has emerged that it messes with local minds, too.

And that evidence came from the keyboard of a regular Indy correspondent from the Surf Coast, who this week referenced recent low temperatures while under the pseudonym Kanga King.

“If your readers want to escape the winter temperatures,” KK advised, “they should just go down to the corner where it’s 90 degrees”.

And with that ended Kanga King’s career as a warm-up act.

Victoria’s top cop has taken a break from fighting crime to attend a “special” Geelong celebration of Aboriginal women.

Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton joined more than 120 community members “including respected Aboriginal elders” at Wednesday’s event, Victoria Police said.

Geelong Police Station’s NAIDOC Week event “celebrated the invaluable contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and the significant role they play as pillars of our society”.

Comm Ashton welcomed his opportunity to “celebrate the richness and diversity of our Aboriginal community”, particularly its women.

“This event is particularly special (because) it is the first NAIDOC event to be held outside of Melbourne and represents our ongoing commitment to strengthen and build our existing relationships between police and local Aboriginal communities.

“Too often the role of Aboriginal women in cultural, social and political areas goes unrecognised but today we pay tribute to them.

“In particular, I commend the work of our past and current Aboriginal women who work on the frontline and in various roles across Victoria Police. These women have enhanced our understanding of and relationships with Victorian Aboriginal communities immeasurably.

“We are proud of our partnerships with Victorian Aboriginal communities and we will continue to build upon them.”

Comm Ashton acknowledged “colourful bollards” outside the police station, painted with hand prints in the lead up to the NAIDOC Day event.

“The bollards recognise and acknowledge our shared history and serve as a reminder of our continued commitment to reconciliation with Aboriginal communities,” he said.

Ken oils revolution Big dreams for ‘veggie engine’

By Luke Voogt

By Luke Voogt A retired Whittington engineer has designed a vegetable oil-powered car engine he believes could revolutionise transport worldwide.

“It’s unheard of and people said it couldn’t be done but it’s here,” said the engine’s inventor Kenneth Oakden.

Now all the 88-year-old needs is someone to put it together.

The great-grandfather has considered travelling to his former homeland of England in search of a manufacturer for his prototype.

“But if I can get somebody here to do it I would,” he said.

Kenneth designed the one-stroke, aircooled engine to run on vegetable oils such olive, coconut and canola.

The engine would provide a cheap travel alternative for developing countries and produce far less carbon emissions than a regular car, he said.

“The fuel can be grown in almost all countries, making the car available to third world users who cannot afford to purchase mineral oil.

“The exhaust gases are less polluting and the carbon footprint is almost neutral.”

Kenneth migrated from England in 1968 and worked as an engineer across Victoria and Tasmania, including a stint at Alcoa in Geelong.

He began designing the ‘Akorn’ engine “a long time ago” after seeing a similar design for a two-stroke engine on TV. “I like solving problems,” he said.

“There was a program on television called The Inventors and I saw something there that stuck in my mind.”

City Deal talk flop, says MP

VEGIE POWER: Retired Whittington engineer Kenneth Oakden with plans and parts for a one-stroke engine he believes could change the world. 182500 (Rebecca Hosking) The Akorn requires no gearbox, differential, rear axle, tail shaft and other parts common to regular cars, Kenneth said.

“Plus it’s very cheap to produce.”

The engine produces electricity to drive all four wheels and charges its own battery, meaning it requires no charging station like an electric car, he said.

“As long as the engine runs the vehicle will run.”

Kenneth acknowledged some readers might see him as a “silly old bugger” but he was con-

fident the engine would work.

“There’s always got to be a first time for everything,” he said.

“There’s no reason in theory it’s not going to work.”

He hoped to build the engine through a franchise agreement with a local manufacturer.

“I’ll give them 40 per cent of the profits they gain from it,” he said.

“I don’t want any money for myself - I’ll use the money to help others that are in need.”

Corangamite MP Sarah Henderson’s recent talks with a visiting minister have again failed to deliver a City Deal for Geelong, according to Labor counterpart Richard Marles.

The Corio MP accused Ms Henderson of grandstanding as she hosted Federal Urban Infrastructure and Cities Minister Paul Fletcher.

“If there’s one thing that Sarah does well it’s oversell and under-deliver,” he said.

“Geelong needs more than just the Member for Corangamite’s rhetoric.”

The attack comes after State Government allocated $153 million towards a Geelong City Deal to fund a convention centre and other “priority” projects.

But the Turnbull Federal Government is yet to match the amount.

Mr Marles suggested Ms Henderson was delaying an announcement for the next federal election as a strategy to retain her marginal seat.

“We need to see Sarah take an interest in delivering for our city now, not just making promises she can’t keep when she is facing an election,” Mr Marles said.

But Ms Henderson said discussions on a Geelong City Deal were progressing, as Mr Fletcher visited on Monday.

Ms Henderson promoted the deal funding a link road into the Future Economy Precinct at Waurn Ponds, which she said would be home to more than 2000 high-tech jobs.

“An expanded road network would support efficient and safe travel within the precinct and manage increasing high vehicle traffic volumes associated with the precinct’s growth.”

Mr Fletcher described his visit to Geelong and meeting with stakeholders as “very instructive”.

By Luke Voogt Snow, ice sculptors and magicians will transform Geelong’s Little Creatures Brewery into a Winter Wonderland this month.

The carnival would be back “bigger than ever” with snow machines galore and winter brews, Little Creatures hospitality manager Paul Rogasch said.

“We’re really excited that Winter Wonderland has grown into an annual highlight for the Geelong brewery,” Rogasch said.

“We love seeing everybody braving the chill for a great day of entertainment, fun and a few beers.“ Winter Wonderland returns on 21 and 22 July with live ice sculptors creating everything from cherubs and kombis to polar bears.

The carnival will also feature a Frozenthemed jumping castle, snow bunny hoopers,

snowflake skaters, magicians, fire performers and live music to beat the winter blues.

Little Creatures would showcase its specialty winter beers at the event, Rogasch said.

Locals can get a taste of The Fuggle is Real stout, and the brewery’s most recent single batch, its hop-packed winter IPA, as well as a specially-created spiced, “tastes-like-Christmas” cider.

On top of the brewery’s new winter food menu, the carnival will include winter-warming treats from beef chilli con carne, to poutine loaded fries and chocolate fondu.

“If you’re looking for an event to knock your snow-covered socks off, hot-foot it to the Little Creatures Brewery Village,” Rogasch said.

“The live entertainment and wintery treats will be flowing from midday each day, and heading well into the evening, come and enjoy a winter warmer from us to you.”

Skill pilot as training ‘cut’

By Luke Voogt A $1.9 million pilot course to train 120 cadets in civil construction commenced at East Geelong this week.

Geelong MP Christine Couzens launched the program at The Gordon Institute of TAFE East Campus on Thursday.

“The Gordon’s Civil Skills Cadetship Program is yet another example of the work we’re doing to strengthen partnerships between industry and training, both in Geelong and around the state,” she said.

Industry mentors will support students through three work placements on infrastructure projects as they study for their Certificate III in Civil Construction through the program.

Cadets will also have the opportunity to undertake a civil construction apprenticeship through the program.

Civil Contractors Federation and The Gordon developed the course, which includes occupational health and safety and skills training.

Certificate III in Civil Construction is one of 30 priority TAFE courses and 18 pre-apprenticeships which will be free in Victoria to eligible students from 2019.

State Government recently announced $172 million in the 2018/2019 budget to make the courses free, along with $303.8 million to create more than 30,000 training places.

The announcements came as new data on Tuesday revealed government-funded Vocational Education and Training student numbers dropped 31.7 per cent from 2014 to 2017.

National Centre for Vocational Education Research data showed a decline from 460,500 to 314,000 students that shadow training minister Steph Ryan blamed on the government.

“Daniel Andrews promised a training rescue but he’s delivered a crisis,” she said.

“On Labor’s watch Victoria has lost its crown as the nation’s largest training provider to NSW.” A report from Productivity Commission revealed Labor under-spent the student training budget in 2016 by $502 million, Ms Ryan said.

“Victoria is missing out on hundreds of millions of dollars for training from the Commonwealth because Labor just wants to play politics,” she added.

The soon-to-be free courses would be open to interstate students at “the expense” of Victorian students, Ms Ryan told SBS. “(The government is attempting) to beef up student numbers by offering free training to people from overseas and interstate,“ she said.“This money should be invested to benefit Victorian workers and Victorian jobs.“ But Minister for Training and Skills Gayle Tierney attributed the fall in students from 2014 to 2017 to the previous government.

“After years of devastating cuts by the previous Liberal government we’re making the investments needed to give Victorians the opportunity to access industry-relevant training that leads to a job,“ she said.

State Government in May agreed to 2.5 per cent yearly wage annual increase for TAFE teachers.

Homeless project goes viral

By Justin Flynn Three local teenagers are helping to make a difference to Geelong's homeless problem.

Bellarine Secondary College VCAL students Tahnee Shanley, Charisma Boothroyd and Jack Havis were initially given a school assignment to engage in a community connection.

They decided to focus on Geelong’s homeless, particularly women.

“It took a while to get started and we looked at sending products overseas, but then realised that there are a lot of people here that need help,” Tahnee, 17, from Clifton Springs, said.

The trio has been receiving donations of second-hand items that can be passed on to homeless women.

Since going viral on social media the teens have been swamped with donations and wellwishers.

“Since we put it on social media, the

amount of support we have received has been amazing,” Tahnee said.

The students have teamed up with Share the Dignity, a charity that supports homeless women.

Share The Dignity is an organisation that collects and distributes handbags full of personal hygiene products to homeless women in the community.

They have a back room almost filled with handbags and other items that can be passed on to the regions’ homeless women.

“You know you’re helping people who really need it,” Charisma, 18, from Portarlington, said.

“We wanted to help give them some things that we take for granted.”

Tahnee, Charisma and Jack are accepting donations until September. Items can be dropped off at both Drysdale and Ocean Grove Bellarine Secondary College campuses.

team is currently reviewing these proposals.

“Due to this process, we have no further comment at this stage.”

The spokesperson confirmed GHMBA was committed to keeping its headquarters within Geelong.

Central Geelong is the “perfect location” for GMHBA, Brownbill ward councillor Eddy Kontelj has said, as the insurer searches for alternative headquarters.

“GMHBA is a great fit for our CBD and I don’t know if you would want to be in any other place - especially being an investor in the CBD myself,” Cr Kontelj said.

“Looking from the outside in I think they’re in a perfect location.”

Cr Kontelj encouraged GMHBA to remain in central Geelong after the insurer recently announced a strategic review of its long-term head office accommodation.

NDIA, Worksafe and TAC headquarters nearby meant central Geelong was “really the place to be as a service provider”, he said.

“That said, I think it’s healthy for them to do a review.”

A planned convention centre and redevelopments at Royal Geelong Yacht Club and throughout central Geelong would cause the area to increase in value, Cr Kontelj said.

“We continue to see the CBD as a good investment opportunity.

“The CBD is probably undervalued as to where it will in the next five years - it’s going change dramatically.”

Cr Kontelj encouraged retailers and investors to consider moving to central Geelong.

“Having said that I understand there might be those that have an interest lying outside the CBD itself,” he said.

But Council needed to do more to attract people and businesses to central Geelong, he admitted.

“I’m still a strong believer that we need to provide better transport connections in and out of the CBD.” A GMHBA spokesperson could not confirm the insurer would keep its headquarters in central Geelong amid speculation it may move elsewhere in the city.

Dogs' beach manners 'test' Geelong dog owners need to work on their canine companions’ beach behaviour, two workshops have found.

Barwon Coast funded the recent workshops to help owners and non-owners better understand dog behaviour and body language.

“The workshops identified the need by some owners that they required more training to improve their dog’s behaviour,” a Barwon Coast spokesperson said.

“Others identified a need for more educational opportunities and skills for dealing with difficult owners, and that more (owners) needed to clean up after their dogs.”

Barwon Coast in late 2017 partnered with local agencies to launch the Share our Shores campaign promoting the responsibilities and rights of beach users.

In response to feedback Barwon Coast funded Cherished Pets Foundation to run two workshops teaching locals how to minimise potential canine conflicts.

Participants came from across the Bellarine Peninsula, Geelong and Surf Coast, with 89 per cent owning dogs and 70 per cent indicating improved understanding of their behaviour afterward, the spokesperson said.

Following the launch, Federation University surveyed beach-goers on coastal-related topics. The university will publish a summary report later this month.

The results will come out as City of Greater Geelong reviews its dog policies, following 666 reports of dog-related incidents in 12 months.

Fifty-five incidents involved people while 10 were serious, according to council statistics.

Council ratings 'up' Geelong’s council rates below average in 2018, a new survey has revealed.

But it’s better on numerous performance measures than under state-appointed administrators in 2017, according to the Victorian Government survey of satisfaction with councils.

The government’s statewide poll gave Geelong an overall score of 54, four points below the regional average and similar to last year’s result.

City Hall leaders focussed on the survey’s improved scores for community consultation, advocacy, decision-making, and overall council direction.

“The City has experienced a significant amount of change in recent years, with a strong emphasis on transformation,” said new chief executive officer Martin Cutter.

“The return of council has seen a predicted increase in the areas of ‘advocacy’ and ‘making community decisions’, and I would expect the extensive consultation we completed as part of our engagement with 16,000 people to create the Clever and Creative community-led vision has positively impacted our result for ‘community consultation’.

“It’s pleasing to see improvement on the majority of last year’s performance measures, and a key focus for the coming 12 months will be continuing to build on these results.”

Mayor Bruce Harwood, who was a member of the council sacked in 2016 before he his reelection in November, noted the improvement on certain scores under the administrators.

“Council is always conscious of its community image and wants to make sure the City is viewed in the best light possible,” he said.

“While there’s still work to do, it’s encouraging to see an uplift in our scores for ‘advocacy’, ‘community consultation’, ‘overall council direction’ and ‘making community decisions’.

We’ll continue to engage with the community

RESULTS: New council chief Martin Cutter. and respond accordingly.”

The government commissioned an independent research agency to conduct the statewide study, which phone-polled 400 respondents in greater Geelong between 1 February and 30 March.

Eighty per cent rated council’s overall performance as average or above.

City Hall earned its best rating for customer service, although the 2018 score of 70 was down on 2017’s 74. Eighty-eight per cent of the respondents rated the council’s services average or above.

Council’s worst result was for sealed local roads, with its score of 49 up two on 2017.

'Big fines' for little snapper A Glenroy man has received fines of more than $1000 after officers caught him red-handed with a fishy haul in Geelong.

The 65-year-old appeared in Geelong Magistrates’ Court recently on charges of taking undersize fish.

Victorian Fisheries Authority officers caught him with eight undersized snapper and one undersized bream, ranging from 19.8 to 25.9 cm, regional manager David Burgess said.

The minimum size for snapper and bream in Victoria is 28cm.

“After he was interviewed the man returned to fishing and was later inspected again, and found in possession of another undersize snapper,” Mr Burgess said.

The Court heard the man had 10 previous offences relating to under-size fish and other fisheries offences stretching back to 2008.

The authority requested the presiding magistrate impose a prohibition order on the man to stop him from fishing as part of its submission to court.

The magistrate fined the man $1,000 and $193 after he pleaded guilty and prohibited him from recreational fishing for two months.

But much to their surprise fisheries officers allegedly caught the man fishing the next day at Cunningham Pier, Mr Burgess said.

They seized the man’s fishing rods and charged him on summons in relation to breaching a prohibition order under the Fisheries Act. “It is disappointing to see some people have such disregard for the state’s fishing rules, which are in place to ensure our fisheries are managed sustainably,” Mr Burgess said.

He urged anyone with information on illegal fishing to phone 13FISH (13 34 74).

LETTERS Something in the water In last week’s Geelong Indy a warning was issued regarding acid water at pH 3.4 in Boundary Creek and down to 4.8 and 5.2 in the Barwon River.

Corangamite Catchment Management Authority (CCMA) chief Graham Phelps advised against contact with the water because it might cause irritation.

It was also advised that dogs should not be in contact the water and that fish and other aquatic animals could be killed and their food sources destroyed.

However, it was also stated that platypus could move to less-harmful water with a greater food supply. One wondered where these less-harmful places and greater food sources might be, considering that the Barwon at Winchelsea had not been flowing for 90 days before the acid-water event.

Groundwater mining and unsustainable surface-water impoundments are making it impossible for even platypus to survive.

Better resource-management practices must be employed. Stop groundwater mining for a start.

A similar report in the Colac Herald made a comparison stating that orange juice had a high acidity pH level of 3.5, implying such levels were not such a problem.

However, Otway Ranges instream lifeforms are not known to drink orange juice or swim in it. They are in extreme jeopardy or die wen or just after the water they live in drops to a pH level of 4.

What would readers choose to drink if their lives depended on it: a glass of orange juice or a glass of 5.2pH Barwon River water?

Signs of the times I thank the Indy for its coverage of Villawood Properties’ #withrefugees signage at its Wandana estate along Geelong’s ring road (Double Take, 22 June).

The #withrefugees campaign, led by the United Nations, has been embraced by many people in Geelong, across Australia and around the world.

As always, Villawood Properties’ giant corten steel letters have been used to help give voice to Geelong community concerns, issues and interests.

While we note Double Take’s wry observation about detention centres, the #withrefugees sign was installed with the full support and involvement of Diversitat and Geelong-based refugees. Nor is it the first time Villawood’s letters have been used to support the refugee cause.

The letters have been used also to support causes including same-sex marriage, driver safety, respect, sporting identities such as Cadel Evans and Gary Ablett, and the Geelong Cats.

Right now the letters are being used to back the Call It Out campaign, of which I’m sure the Indy, as a community paper, will be fully supportive.

Gender issues can be a serious part of the family violence scourge within our community.

Villawood Properties, which holds community health as an imperative in all its endeavours, is keen to see this cause highlighted.

NMS, Belmont of basic biology and evolutionary science.

Several potato species were domesticated by the indigenous peoples of Peru over thousands of years. Subsequently, Europeans selectively bred varieties from one species of potato to suit European climates and for commercial purposes at the expense of genetic diversity.

The widespread use of one variety in Ireland, the Irish potato, led to the Great Irish Potato Famine. As the Irish crop was essentially a monoculture with a narrow genetic base, one disease, to which the Irish potato had no genetic resistance, was able to wipe out the entire crop, leading to widespread starvation.

Animals in zoos suffer greatly and are difficult to breed because they are not in the environment in which their species evolved.

Human fiddling with nature reduces genetic diversity and leads to extinctions.

Organisms can adapt to environmental change if the change is at a slow rate. However, sudden environmental change can wipe out a species, especially if its habitat has been reduced in size or polluted.

Also, I object to Mr Oraniuk’s use of the word ‘dumb’ to mean stupid.

The term ‘dumb’ actually refers to someone who has a speech disability. Use of the term to mean stupid is offensive to dumb people.

I think Mr Oraniuk should either stop writing letters to the Geelong Indy or think a bit harder before putting pen to paper or fingers to keyboard.

Common mystery solved While council has been busy with surveying about proposed amendments to off-leash areas, an equally mysterious event has involved one of the subject public areas.

Strange lines of varying length and shape have appeared across Fyansford Common, seemingly overnight.

Some shapes appear as continuous, narrow lines weaving in and out of other sections of the common in swirling patterns. Some join, creating a continuous pathway.

Their appearance ranges from a smooth, grass-free surface to colourful, grassy tracts where the grass turns from green to reddish brown, like after being poisoned. There are even a couple of ramps.

Am I talking alien crop circles? Or is there a simple explanation?

My guess is an amateur attempt at an offroad bike track, which would explain the sudden appearance of highly visible lines along the inside perimeter of the common.

When asked what he was spraying, he said: “It’s just some red food colouring to help the kids see the path when they’re riding their bikes”.

I thought that was a bit naughty because I couldn’t imagine council giving permission for such an activity.

I’m more concerned about bikes zooming around the common as people engage in other recreational activities and dogs play without leashes.

How has this occurred on public land without public consultation or council involvement?

Sleepers, awake!

I congratulate the organisers of the inaugural Vinnies CEO Sleepout in Geelong on 28 June.

I was invited, possibly even self-challenged, to participate. I did so with an open mind and humble heart.

I and 68 local CEOs and industry leaders who slept out at GMHBA Stadium are far better for the experience.

We have seen a 66 percent rise in demand for welfare support in the greater Geelong, which keeps Vinnies volunteers busy. I thank each of them.

There is no way to fully understand the impact of homelessness and poverty other than sleeping on the streets.

The Sleepout participants slept on pieces of cardboard on concrete. It was a cold night and, for those few hours in which few slept, we experienced what so many less-fortunate endure daily.

Aside from the physical effects, it was emotionally draining. Many homeless people are alone with their thoughts, which must be harrowing at times.

Geelong is acknowledged as a generous, caring city. However, it’s a sad fact we have homeless people.

Many Victorians can’t afford even the basics of food, education and utilities, let alone the shelter and comfort of a home.

The Geelong Sleepout collectively raised over $100,000, with more to come. It shone a bright light in raising awareness of homelessness in our region.

I thank and congratulations the Vinnies, all the staff and volunteers who brought us the Inaugural Vinnies Sleepout in Geelong.

As the Barwon region moves from an economy dominated by industrial and manufacturing businesses into a new and changing environment we need to prepare for the immediate future and be ready to be competitive.

Changing market forces, the likes of which have never been experienced, will continue profoundly effecting jobs and businesses.

As we move into the future we must be more prepared for the unknown. Instead of trying to imagine exactly what that might be, we need to consider how we become more agile, competitive and resilient to respond to the unknown.

The key drivers causing this accelerating rate of change are globalisation and the digital revolution. However, with change comes exciting new opportunity.

The potential for our region to compete on a global scale, to unlock new jobs, markets and growth, is exciting and unprecedented.

Now is the time to invest in infrastructure to unlock our potential. Now is also the time to recognise our competitive advantages and back them.

Making the right infrastructure choices and developing an eye to our competitive advantages creates a compelling strength.

In a rapidly changing world with new market forces, attributes such as the Great Ocean Road, Avalon Airport, our proximity to Melbourne, our culture and our people, will set us apart.

Properly supported, they will allow us to be more, rather than less, competitive.

Up in smoke and mirrors If our politicians are paid for honesty and performance they have failed Australian taxpayers.

Never has Victoria had a government more deceitful or dishonest than under Labor’s Daniel Andrews. Federal Labor has also proven dishonest, along with the Turnbull Government on the viability of its Snowy 2.0 project.

The federal budget of smoke and mirrors has not delivered anything.

The Turnbull Government also sold out Australia by signing the Paris Agreement without disclosing how many billions of dollars are being thrown at this global con. This must stop, with Australian national debt racing toward $700 billion and taxpayers paying $17 billion interest a year.

Scientists have proven carbon is greening the planet, not destroying it, so why are our politicians still putting Australia through all this unnecessary expense?

If they honestly thought this global hoax was real why didn’t they attempt to lift Australia’s nuclear ban to produce clean, cheap, reliable power?

We sell coal, gas and uranium for overseas competitors to use yet ban coal, gas and uranium here in Australia. Does any of this make sense, especially when our energy has gone from some of the cheapest in the world to the most expensive?

Australian voters are so complacent. They have no interest in politics and are only interested in their world of entitlement.

Is it any wonder we are stuck with the politicians we deserve?

FINALLY FRIDAY

Murray flows to Corio pub

By Luke Voogt Australian singer songwriter Pete Murray is ageing well, as are his iconic songs if his latest tour is anything to go by.

“It’s just been incredible,” he told the Indy on Monday after performing in Broome the night before.

“I’d like to keep a record of this tour and all the people singing along with the old songs.”

Murray comes to the Gateway Hotel on 26 July during his latest two-month national tour after releasing new album Camacho in 2017.

The album includes Heartbeats, a song that Peter Mayes, one third of Aussie dance group PNAU, remixed a few months ago.

“Heartbeats is getting some really good traction - people are starting to sing along to that,” Murray said.

“This Heartbeats remix is a fun new thing for me and I’m stoked with how it came out. It reminds me of Ibiza, the way he’s mixed it.”

But it was Murray’s classic songs Feeler, Better Days and So Beautiful which got fans to his shows, he said.

“You’d tour those songs and it wasn’t so much of a sing-along at first.”

Years later on Sunday night, the 600-plus crowd in Broome burst into song when Murray played So Beautiful, he said.

“It’s a pretty nice compliment.“ Many people thought the song was about an ex-lover after hearing the lyrics, Murray said.

“It was actually inspired by a group of pretentious people I bumped into one night.”

The “loud, boisterous and obnoxious” group irked Murray as he met with a friend at a Brisbane hotel.

He stayed up until 2am penning So Beautiful.

“I wrote everything except the last verse that night,” he said.

The song won an Australasian Performing Right Association award but Murray has never won an ARIA despite his success.

“I think I’m the most-nominated artist to not win an ARIA so I’ve given up on that,” he said “But that’s OK - it’s never been about awards for me anyway.”

Murray was a latecomer to music. He began playing guitar at age 22 while studying natural medicine.

His friend and roommate at the time had planned on getting guitar lessons, he explained.

“I thought, ’that sounds great’. I actually went and got a couple of lessons and he didn’t.”

The friend died of an aneurysm before Murray’s career took off.

“I named my first boy Charlie after him,” he said.

“He’d be super stoked about the whole thing.”

Murray’s latest tour is acoustic, which he said suited his lyrical music.

“I think this whole run we’re doing is more of a pub-type tour.

“You want to go to a concert and have people fully-immersed in what you sing and what you’re talking about.”

At 49 Murray was feeling fitter than ever, he said.

“I feel like my voice is better than what it has been before and I’m writing better choruses.

“Hopefully, like a good bottle of wine, I keep aging well.”

FINALLY FRIDAY

GPAC American singalong

By Luke Voogt Tamara Kuldin will have the “magical” B Sharp Big Band behind her when she brings the Great American Songbook to Geelong next week.

“It’s so much fun singing along with them,” she said.

“The band features some absolutely incredible musicians.”

Kuldin described working with the band as a longtime goal.

“It’s just this volume of energy that literally sweeps you along with it,” she said.

“It’s like being on the most sophisticated train and just riding along with them.”

The Melbourne songstress will perform classic arrangements from the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s and the tunes of swingin’ chanteuses like Doris Day and Ella Fitzgerald.

She chose the song list with B Sharp founder Henry Kovacevic.

“It’s a mixture of songs that both of us love,” she said.

“The lyrics are just gorgeous and unabashedly romantic. It’s lovely to have these uplifting melodies and lyrics.”

Kuldin sung as a toddler “pulling flowers out of the front garden”, while her parents’ record collection inspired her love of jazz, she said.

“I was collecting jazz vinyls when I was in my teens.”

She had been writing and performing folk and soul songs before chasing jazz. But after a year-long “timeout” during 2010 and 2011, she decided to dive into Melbourne’s jazz scene.

“There’s just such a wide and diverse jazz repertoire out there that I’m finding new songs weekly,” she said.

Her rekindled love of the genre saw her perform across Australia and the world, from Paris to New York.

BE SHARP: Tamara Kuldin comes to Geelong with one of Victoria's best big bands next week.

She recently toured Italy, France and Germany with her cover album Love, Longing & Lullabies. But despite her travels her concert at Geelong Performing Arts Centre (GPAC) next Wednesday would be her first time performing in the city, she said.

“I’ve got my Airbnb booked and I’m looking

forward to exploring Geelong.”

Along with hits from the Great American Songbook, Kuldin will sing lesser-known vintage jazz and blues songs.

“I love performing because I love telling stories,” she said.

“That’s what singing is - storytelling

through songs.”

Kuldin’s two concerts on 11 and 12 July will kick off GPAC’s musical mornings for the second half of 2018.

“I want to encourage and welcome everyone to come along, have a sing and forget about all their troubles,” she said.

If the reviews on social media are anything to go by, Sakuratei Japanese Cuisine in Manifold Heights is a gem.

The addition to Geelong West’s culinary culture has been reviewed as one of the best Japanese restaurants outside Japan.

And that’s from well-travelled tourists as well as locals who have discovered the authentic delicacies served with a minimum of fuss.

The real strength of Sakuratei is the extensive menu, with everything from soups and entrees, main courses of ramen, udon, bento boxes and curries to desserts.

The teriyaki chicken and beef have proved popular, along with the dumplings and hotplate meals.

Owner Flora says although some meals are not necessarily on the menu, the kitchen is happy to entertain special orders.

A range of specials is available at the sushi bar along with a takeaway service – and all at very affordable prices.

Not only are the various dishes freshly cooked, they’re served by friendly and knowledgeable staff.

After four years in busy Shannon Ave, Sakuratei has developed a loyal band of regular customers, Flora says.

Sakuratei also has a customer car park for eat-in patrons.

The restaurant is open 10am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 5pm to 10pm Sundays.

Sakuratei is at 161 Shannon Ave, Manifold Heights, phone 5222 6668.

Club installs hi-tech pools Kithbrooke Park Country Club Torquay has officially opened four indoor heated pools all housed in one aquatic pool pavilion as part of a new clubhouse facility.

The high-tech Fastlane Pools are manufactured in the United States and are now being used in over 100 countries.

The pools at Kithbrooke Park are open seven days a week for residents’ use and feature the latest in pool technology.

The four heated pools allow swimming year-round with an adjustable current in each pool, underwater treadmills, temperature control and the latest in environmental low chlorine water purification.

“These pools are ‘state of the art’ and great for people of all ages but especially retirees,” Exercise Physiologist with NJF Wellness in Torquay Tom Kearne said.

“Use in these types of pools increases flexibility and strengthens muscles, improves balance and cardiovascular fitness and allows for effective low impact exercise.

“The buoyancy reduces body weight by up to 90% which dramatically reduces tension and stress on joints and muscles, decreasing pain experienced with land-based exercise”.

Tom said that he couldn’t wait to run rehabilitation and water aerobic exercise classes for those who wish to participate, as it will benefit those unable to exercise on land whether it’s due to a chronic health condition, injury, surgery, arthritis or low movement.

Programs can be tailored for any level of fitness and capabilities. These exercise classes can be in a group setting or individual all of which can be fully funded for eligible participants through Medicare.

“Each pool creates a smooth adjustable swim current which allows swimmers to end-

“Alternatively, bathers can simply float and enjoy the hydrotherapy benefits of the warm water and use the spa jets alongside the bench in each pool.”

Ian Cook, a villa owner at Kithbrooke Park Country Club, has trialled the new pools and believes “all residents will benefit from the many options on offer within the pool pavilion whether it’s for rehabilitation, fitness or leisure.”

Julie Spriggs, of Kings Funerals.

Kings to host special event Family members often don’t want to talk about funeral arrangements until they have to, says Kings Funerals.

But Kings’ staff has noticed that when they are assisting families in arranging funerals tjhe family members often mention that they have no idea what their loved one would have wanted.

As part of Dying to Know Day next month, Kings Funerals is hosting a session at the Kings Chapel, 25 Myers St, in Geelong, from 9.30am on Tuesday 7 August.

The event will be an informal discussion in which Kings Funerals hopes to help demystify funerals.

“For those who cannot make it on 7 August, don’t forget Kings Funerals offer a complimentary service where they can sit down with individuals and record their personal details and wishes so that when the time comes, their family will have access to a record of their thoughts,“ the company says.

“Call Kings Funerals on 5248 3444 to arrange a mutually convenient time and place for a conversation.“

Lincoln offer of ‘ideal’ life Lincoln on the Bellarine is more than just providing homes for retirees.

The new retirement village at Armstrong Creek is just 8km from the beach and a short drive to the centre of Geelong, offering residents the best of both worlds - coastal living with the convenience of the city nearby.

“As a community not-for-profit, our end goal is around having a positive impact in the Bellarine community and reinvesting in a better Victoria,” Peta Gillies says.

“We are doing things differently. We want to ensure our residents and their families have a positive quality of life and can live the future they always imagined. One of the ways we will achieve this is by offering an affordable payment model with no deferred management fee.

This is a new concept within the retirement living industry and one that will give our residents more transparency and control over costs.”

When completed Lincoln on the Bellarine will include a cafe and bar, shared and private dining areas, spacious formal and casual lounge areas, active spaces including a gym and wellness room, recreation areas, aquatic facilities, playground for the grandkids, park and community garden, community orchard and walking trails.

“We are thrilled with the level of interest received so far,” Ms Gillies says.

“Lincoln on the Bellarine is right in the middle of new schools, retail developments and open spaces. This, combined with our service and activity programming designed to get people out of the village and actively participating in the community, will ensure that all of the benefits of social integration and inclusion are realised for our residents.”

Alyson Burchell and Sue Marshman of Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service.

The value of planning ahead People often plan for different milestones in their lives such as weddings, careers and even retirement.

So, as Alyson Burchell of Tuckers Funerals explains, planning for their final goodbye makes just as much sense.

Alyson and Sue Marshman, from Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service, are passionate about helping people find the best way to achieve peace of mind when it comes to funeral plans.

“Peace of mind means having the confidence that the funeral director of your choice will support and lead your family through all funeral arrangements and, most importantly, there are no additional costs placed on your family,” Mrs Burchell says.

“The death of a loved one can be a stressful time. Planning ahead is one way to help ease the burden on those left behind.

“It's important to find the best option suited to your individual needs. A funeral today can cost over $10,000 and the costs rise annually, so understanding a pre-paid funeral can save money or prevent an expensive mistake.”

Tuckers Funerals have a proud 135-year history of funeral care services in greater Geelong.

“We understand that each funeral is unique and reflects an individual personality - a funeral plan should be the same,” Mrs Burchell says.

“Talking about funerals helps people to make informed choices. Daily we see how important these conversations are for families”.

Alyson and Sue are available to discuss funeral issues, including the differences between plans and insurance, at Wightons Lawyers, Corio Central Shoppping Centre, or phone 5221 4788.

“The primary aim of the Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis Program is to do just that - delay or prevent joint replacement surgery, primarily achieved through reducing pain levels and improving function in everyday tasks. “If surgery is required, the program aims to have better prepared the participant for surgery by improving strength and function of the joint, leading to improved rehabilitation after surgery.” Health insurer, GMHBA, is collaborating with Kieser to conduct a pilot study using the Hip and Knee Osteoarthritis Program. The program is avail-

able for the first 150 eligible GMHBA members that have a valid hospital cover and have been a member for at least 12 months. GMBHA will cover the cost for eligible members who complete the program with Kieser between 1 July and 31 December 2018. Referral from a medical practitioner is required and eligibility criteria must be met to be a part of the program. These include a confirmed diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the hip or knee and those considered to be a potential candidate for surgery within the next three years.

“We are very excited to announce that our Memory Support wing has opened up,” Star of the Sea’s Pip Walker said.

“The staff have created a calm, family friendly environment where they interact closely with residents, getting to know their interests and provide them with activities that they have grown to love throughout their life.

“For example we have a number of residents who revel in our music therapy. Residents enjoy playing their own instruments, taking part in our singing groups or even just relaxing in

Star of the Sea’s beautiful lounge spaces while listening to their favourite tunes.

“Others enjoy art and craft, exercises and even cooking when we have onsite functions such as the Biggest Morning Tea. Finding out what one loves to do plays a big part in creating a calm, friendly environment.”

AMAZING VALUE! ONLY 104,000KMS

WHOPPER: The Patrol has shown itself to be a perfect long-distance cruiser for families.

Going big in Nissan 4WD

By Alistair Kennedy With each road test that we carry out it’s always interested to hear the first impressions the vehicle makes on relatives, friends and even passers-by.

Responses generally vary depending on the interests of the viewer but not so with this week’s test, the Nissan Patrol Ti-L, where the reaction has been all-but unanimous,“Isn’t it big!”.

The tale of the tape confirms that visual impression. It’s nearly 5.2 metres long and just under two metres wide and high, larger all round than its only real competitor the market-leading Toyota LandCruiser.

Only two variants are offered, both at the top end of Nissan’s equipment range, Patrol Ti and Ti-L. Note that the ‘L’ stands for Luxury unlike other brands’ SUVs where it can mean long wheelbase. The Ti has eight seats with a centre bench in the middle row. The Ti-L drops down to seven seats with two large individual centre seats separated by a large armrest.

The Ti is priced from $71,990 and the Ti-L from $88,990.

Its size still clearly identifies it as a Nissan Patrol but there’s a new bumper and grille, revised triangular foglight housings and distinctive 18-inch alloy wheels. Although it attracted some criticism from Patrol traditionalists in our view it strikes a nice before-and-after balance.

Once inside the Patrol - and that won’t be as easy as it sounds for smaller occupants - the cabin is spacious with plenty of head and legroom for the occupants of the first and second rows. As is usually the case the two third-row seats are best suited to pre-teens.

The outer seats of the second row fold and tumble for access to the third with the latter able to move forward and aft for increased leg or cargo room. The second row can also be folded to haul large items.

Storage options included a clever centre console accessed from either the front or second row seats. The boot storage of 550 litres expands to 1500 with the third row down and with the centre row folded it reaches 3000.

Both variants are powered by a 5.6-litre V8 engine with 298kW of power and 560Nm of torque, 90 per cent of the latter is available from just 1600rpm.

Transmission is through a near-seamless seven-speed automatic.

The 4WD drive system engages all four wheels when required, otherwise it defaults to the rear wheels. There is permanent 4WD, lowgearing and a diff lock for off-road forays.

The infotainment system works via an 8-inch colour touchscreen, while both models get satellite navigation with 3D mapping and traffic monitoring.

Bluetooth pairing, previously a weakness in Nissans, is now much more intuitive. Unusually, neither Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is available.

The two centre row seats in the Ti-L gets have 8.0-inch DVD screens mounted on the rear of the front seatbacks with headphones, remote controls and the choice of USB, DVD or HDMI inputs. Ti-L also adds 13 Premium geelongindy.com.au

MODEL RANGE Patrol Ti 5.6-litre V8 five-door wagon: $71,990 (automatic) Patrol Ti-L 5.6-litre V8 five-door wagon: $88,990 (automatic) Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges. Contact your local Nissan dealer for drive-away prices.

Bose speakers; In addition to the mandatory and industrystandard safety features both Patrol models get useful manoeuvring features in front and rear parking sensors and Intelligent AroundView Monitor, which uses four cameras to provide multiple views around the vehicle, and Moving Object Detection that can detect nearby moving objects and provide alerts. Hill Descent Control, Hill Start Assist, Isofix child seat restraints are also included.

Patrol Ti-L also gets Intelligent Cruise Control; Forward Collision Warning; Intelligent Distance Control; Lane Departure Warning and Intervention; Blind Spot Warning and Intervention and Intelligent Brake Assist.

Our week in the Patrol Ti-L fitted in very nicely with our local football club’s annual golf day and we managed to load it up with four occupants, a couple of industrial-strength cooler boxes, three sets of clubs and various other odds and ends.

With three passengers in the centre seats rear vision was all but obliterated but the problem can be overcome by via the Intelligent Rear View feature which converts the rear view mirror to a constant rear-view camera. It works really well during daylight hours but less so after dark.

Around town the big Nissan isn’t as difficult to handle as its bulk would suggest. The high driving position is a plus while steering is light in the American fashion and the various parking aids overcome much of the potential parking issues. The turning circle of 12.5 metres is pretty reasonable for a vehicle of its size and there’s good sideways visibility.

On both the motorway and open country roads the Patrol accelerates smoothly and purrs along effortlessly, a perfect long-distance cruiser with the family on board. Hills and bends require diverse treatment, the former are treated with distain but the latter need to be approached with caution.

The big V8 petrol engine's fuel quoted consumption figures begin at 14.4l per 100km. On our 50/50 split of city and motorway driving we averaged 15.8 L/100 km.

& AFTeR!

Low-impact collisions typical in shopping centre car parks are annoying to say the least.

Add to this the fact that people rarely own up to damaging other people’s cars.

It has been noticed that drivers are often scared to back-up any further due to very limited vision.

These are the occasions where reverse sensors are very welcome.

Bumper Master fits reversing sensors to help customers overcome fears of backing into objects or even pedestrians.

Reversing sensors help prevent damage to owners’ cars as well as the vehicles of neighbours and other motorists. They can also help when backing out of tight garages and past narrow gateposts. Bumper Master can also help owners improve the appearance of bumpers when selling vehicles.

Bumpers are the first part of any car to incur damage – and first impressions are important when trying to sell. All Bumper Master repairs come with a no-questions-asked warranty to give customers peace of mind.

Best of all, most bumper repairs are done for less than the cost of insurance excesses.

Located behind VicRoads at 3 Dowsett St, South Geelong, Bumper Master has proven experience in providing an alternative repair service to the bumper regions of any car.

Owners wanting to improve the resale value of their cars should phone Bumper Master on 5221 0138.

Cats women flying

By Justin Flynn Geelong’s VFLW team will head north to warmer climes this weekend.

The Cats will take on the Northern Territory Thunder in Darwin tomorrow.

Geelong sits third on the ladder and its coming off their first loss of the season last week against the Western Bulldogs.

The Thunder are just half a game behind Geelong in fourth place.

Geelong’s defence has been the second best in the competition this season, but the Thunder have been far the best offensive side.

Both sides are coming off surprise losses last week.

The Cats were trounced in the first quarter against the Dogs and never recovered.

The Dogs led by 20 points at the first break and although Geelong kept the lead at bay for the final three terms, the damage had already been done.

Hayley Treaven was in the best players again with the 2017 Carlton AFLW forward busy around the packs.

Maighan Fogas has been a stand out player this season. The 2017 Redan premiership captain has rarely been missing from the best players each week.

Former WNBL and Geelong Supercats basketballer Maddie McMahon has made a seamless transition to the oval ball while former Carlton midfielder, Maddy Keryk also continued her good form for the Cats.

More scoreboard pressure is sure to be coach Paul Hood’s main focus tomorrow.

The Cats had to wait until early in the final term for their first, and only, goal last week, courtesy of the returning Kate Darby.

The Bulldogs were relentless in defence

ON THE BITE Chris Pitman

CAT ATTACK: Anna Teague had a burst in the midfield last week. thanks to strong games from Libby Birch and Naomi Ferres.

Debutante Mickayla Ward kicked two goals while AFLW vice-captain Ellie Blackburn also hit the scoreboard.

Hood tried some positional changes last week, including giving Anna Teague a spell in the midfield and moving McMahon to centre half back for the final term.

The Cats will regain midfielder Richelle Cranston and defender Rebecca Pearce, who were both rested ahead of the long trip to the Top End.

The Thunder were blown away by a thirdquarter Collingwood blitz in Darwin last weekend. Sophie Alexander smashed through the NT defence with four goals.

The Cats will also need to keep an eye on NT forward Jasmyn Hewett, who has a knack of bobbing up with important goals at crucial stages.

A loss tomorrow could see Geelong slip to fifth on the ladder if Darebin defeats Collingwood.

Warriors' velocity facing force of Brunswick

By Josip Zilic Newton’s first law of physics states: “An object that is in motion will not change its velocity unless an unbalanced force acts upon it”.

That might be what’s required for anyone coming up against North Geelong in NPL2 at the moment.

With the Warriors’ impressive record of six wins and a draw in their past seven encounters, the faithful might be wondering how long the run can continue.

Up for the challenge of breaking the streak will be Brunswick City, whose form has been impressive too with three wins and two draws in recent outings.

Stefan Ristic, Nicolas Gonzales and Kenta Murakami are among the goals threats of which North Geelong will be mindful.

Coming off the back of a 2-1 win at Springvale last week, North Geelong will have to provide threats for Brunswick to try negat-

ing. Darius Madison and Jamie Noggler who are combining well and not only scored but assisted one another last weekend in what is developing as a good relationship between the two.

The Warriors will also feel the confidence lift in regard to personnel, with player-coach James Coutts stepping into the central midfield role for Julian Cassano, who was unavailable last round. The move indicates that the team can continue with its high-performance levels despite the need to shuffle the starting 11.

North Geelong will need to shuffle again on Saturday after skipper Michael Anderson came off with a hip injury last round and is expected to miss, leaving the opportunity for Dom Marafioti to step into the starting line-up.

The bright news in results also came from the under-20s youth squad, which turned around a four-game losing streak by beating top-of-the-table Springvale 2-1 with goals to

This Saturday’s action at Lara’s Elcho Park kicks off 12.45pmfor the under-20s and 3pm for the first team.

Anglers only had to visit Geelong’s waterfront to snag themselves a fish last week.

Cunningham Pier fished exceptionally well for snotty trevalla and mullet on paternoster rigs with chicken baits.

Australian salmon still schooled in vast numbers along the waterfront, popping up from the yacht club though to the rocks at St Helens. Boat anglers found a surface frenzy near Point Henry, where casting metal lures worked a treat.

Garfish were still present too, with huge schools holding just out from the rock wall at Limeburner’s Point.

Clifton Springs’ squid keep everyone busy. Size-three jigs produced better results, especially in green or white colourations.

St Leonards was tough going for bag-limit captures of whiting, although some nice-sized fish over 40cm were taken.

Point Lonsdale Pier produced huge salmon on the last of the incoming tide. Pilchards and metal lures caught fish to 3kg banked.

Down the coast, Gone Fishing Charters’ Chris Vasilevski guided clients onto a fantastic southern bluefin tuna of 71kg off Portland. The tuna took some work to subdue, being hooked on 15kg line.

Plenty of school tuna are holding of Portland too, with skirted lures and XRap 20s doing the job.

Highton’s St Augustine’s Waterhole fished well after a stocking with rainbow trout for school holidays. Light running-sinker rigs with Powerbait on the end caught fish, along with hardbody lures like a Rapala F-5.

Lake Bolac remained a hot spot for rainbow trout, with fish just over 2kg engulfing Powerbait. Trolling lures also worked, particularly Tassie Devils.

Even further west, the Glenelg River is produced some of the best mulloway fishing for years. Smaller profile-lures indented for bream anglers caught mulloway over 80cm, along with some well-conditioned bream and estuary perch.

Next week should offer more top fishing along Geelong’s waterfront for salmon on lures, while kids will enjoy fishing for trout at St Augustine’s Waterhole.
