FIRE ACTION WEEK

7 - 14 October 2018 Stay informed

Message from the Premier This week is Fire Action Week, a time for all Victorians to start planning for a long and hot summer ahead.

Low rainfall over winter has dried out much of the state and forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology of a dry and hot summer means that we need to prepare for an earlier and longer ire season.

Our dedicated emergency services are working with communities, businesses and local councils to reduce the risk for our state.

So please, talk to your family, friends and neighbours about your plans, and make sure you know when to leave and where to go to stay safe.

You can also ind out more information, monitor warnings and check the daily Fire Danger Ratings at emergency.vic.gov.au Taking the right steps now could make all the difference.

Recent bushires – both here in Australia and overseas – remind us of the need to understand our own ire risk.

Planning and preparing for ire is a responsibility that belongs to everyone.

The Hon Daniel Andrews MP Premier of Victoria

FIRE ACTION WEEK THE RIGHT TIME TO PREPARE IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO BE READY THIS SUMMER. Prepare your property, fire plan and emergency kit now.

The reasons are black and white.

emergency.vic.gov.au Download the VicEmergency app mailcommunity.com.au

1. Plan what you’ll do in the event of a fire, talk to your household and know where to access information on high risk days.

2. Keep grass short. Fire can ignite and travel quickly through long grass.

3. Get rid of dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark around your home.

4. Remove or prune shrubs near windows and under branches of mature trees.

5. Cut back overhanging tree branches close to property – no branches within 10 metres.

6. Keep gutters and roof areas clear of leaf litter (if you are physically able to).

7. Remove all materials from around the home that could burn, such as boxes, furniture and woodpiles.

Training for the fire front

By Derek Schlennstedt Upper Ferntree Gully CFA Captain Peter Smith knows the importance of training.

In 2009 while fighting a bushfire in Lysterfield, their truck was burnt out and they had to escape on foot. Without the years of experience and training it might have been a different story.

Nine years on and Upper Ferntree Gully CFA regularly train at Birdsland, and in preparation for the coming fire season have begun working with other CFA stations in cross-station-training days.

"Two weeks after black Saturday, we were down Abrahams track with Scoresby," Captain Smith said.

"The wind changed direction three times in 15 minutes and the flame height went from one metre to seven metres in about half a minute."

"We all got out unscathed but it's all from what we do here from the training and it was no different ... that's why we do all this training and take it so seriously."

Seven fire trucks from Upper Ferntree Gully, Belgrave, Boronia and Upwey took part in the training exercise on Saturday 7 October.

The combined training session saw CFA

volunteers from each station rotate and spend time with each different truck learning all the fine details.

"We go over the whole of the vehicle form the cabin right through," Capt Smith said.

"Include all the equipment and how it's used. The pumping and different ways of getting water into the truck."

"Every truck has its own niches and differences."

"It's very hard if you go away and get put on some strange truck."

In a serious bushfire, strike teams can be called upon to help fight fires in other parts of the state.

As a result a CFA station can lose a number of volunteers and also some of its trucks. Captain Smith said that this is a regular occurrence over summer and that by combining training with other CFA stations there are always people who can fill in.

"I can lose up to three trucks at a time or ten to nine guys to a strike team," he said.

"Through this training I can ring up Belgrave, Upwey or Boronia and ask for someone to help out and I know they've got people we've trained with, who can come in and help us out."

SUMMER SAFETY IN THE COMMUNITY What we’re doing to reduce risk and improve network reliability AusNet Services is preparing for the summer season by completing an extensive maintenance and vegetation management program.

Working together to reduce risk – how you can help Predictions are for an early bushfire season this year. AusNet Services is conducting helicopter inspections to get a clear picture of how the landscape is looking, but we need your help.

If you have a private electric line, please ensure it is clear of vegetation to reduce bushfire risk. A registered electrician or certified tree clearer can help you clear your property of any unwanted vegetation.

During a bushfire you may experience interruptions to your electricity and/or gas supply, even if your property isn’t directly affected. For this reason your bushfire contingency plan should factor in possible loss of gas and electricity.

Now is the time to prepare for the summer ahead.

Seven fire trucks from Upper Ferntree Gully, Belgrave, Boronia and Upwey took part in the training exercise on Saturday 7 October.

They can save you in fire Wildfire Safety Bunkers Pty Ltd is committed to supplying and installing superior quality, fully engineered, government accredited, purpose-built bushfire bunkers.

Wildfire bunkers are rated to the highest current Australian Standard (BAL-FZ), Bushfire Attack Level - Flame Zone.

Each year in Australia, the weather seems to become more unpredictable, with higher than average winds and extreme temperatures.

Forecasts from the Climate Institute of Australia and the CSIRO predict that Australia will experience an increasing occurrence of wildfire events that threaten life and property.

The fire season will start earlier and last longer and will be more intense throughout the season’s length.

Residents who live in isolated areas of surrounding bushland are at high risk during the bushfire season and may wish to consider the installation of a bushfire shelter.

When situations change and the time to execute your evacuation plan has been cut short, a wildfire safety bunker could be a resident’s last option.

Anthony Tratt, owner and managing director of Wildfire Safety Bunkers, said it could be a smart option.

“We have been in the bushfire shelter business for many years now and our products have been welcomed by residents Australia wide,” he said.

“I believe the reasons our units have be-

A safety bunker could be a resident’s last option. 146331 come so popular is that they have been extensively tested and accredited by the government, they can be installed in a short amount of time, they can be landscaped into existing garden beds and embankments, and they are at an affordable price point.”

Safe gutters Unprotected and neglected gutters pose a risk to properties.

Stagnate water can lead to blocked and overflowing gutters and can cause soil waterlogging, thereby producing a risk of damage to the foundation of properties.

Clogged gutters may also become breeding and nesting spaces for flies, insects and birds.

Thankfully, CPR Gutter Protection can provide some peace of mind to homeowners and their families through the professional installation of high-quality gutter covers and mesh.

At CPR Gutter Protection, they are 100 percent committed to customer service. Their team of consultants and installers are fully trained and insured.

They install one of the most advanced gutter protection mesh systems in the market. A

maintenance-free system, it ensures protection from rodents and vermin, while increasing rainwater collection.

Manufactured and supplied in Australia, CPR's gutter guards won't burn or rust like galvanized steel. They have been independently tested by CSIRO and conform in accordance with W/AS3959-2009 for construction in bushfire prone areas, where ember proofing is a specific requirement. Their products, Ember Guard and Gutter Guard, have a BAL rating from 12.5 to 40 and are a must for regions of high fire danger.

The team at CPR Gutter Protection treat customer's problems like their own and are more than happy to come to the rescue.

75 years young for CFA

By Derek Schlennstedt It's difficult to believe that the Gembrook CFA has served the community for 75 years, but that's exactly what they've done and at the same time they have become an enduring part of the tightknit community.

The brigade is set to celebrate its 75th anniversary on Sunday, 28 October and will have a number of activities to mark the milestone.

Among the biggest drawcards is a variety of

early historical photos of the station.

The Mail spoke to members of 40 years, Brian Petrie, Steven Marriott and Chris Pearsall about the changes within the CFA and the history of the station. "This station was probably half the size of what it is now," Mr Petrie said.

"There are not many brigades that would be able to say they've built the station."

"Basically the whole station which has been built by us - by the members and a lot of the stuff

was donated." Over the course of 75 years Gembrook has stood as the last CFA station before Bunyip State Park, and has been the first to address many large fires - the most notable being Ash Wednesday.

"We're in a different situation to a lot of brigades as Gembrook is end of the line, once you get out from here it's all bush," Mr Pearsall said.

"You always remember Ash Wednesday ... we never stopped working for six weeks."

The 75th anniversary will remember all these important events and will open the station to the public. A special afternoon tea will also be held and all previous members have been invited back to join in the celebrations.

We've invited all old members and previous members and the general public."

"Just having an open day and afternoon tea to show people what we've done and what we have now and thank them for their support."

All patched up - and cashing up the Gembrook CFA

By Derek Schlennstedt Everything Patchwork and Quilting has patched up Gembrook CFA donating a hefty $6319 to Andrew Clark, Gembrook CFA Fire Captain at the brigade's October meeting.

The money was raised from the groups fifth Everything Patchwork and Quilting Market at Gembrook which was held on Saturday 1 September 2018.

Everything Patchwork and Quilting Market Committee member Glenise Gallagher said 'every cent raised went to the CFA'.

"This year was pretty special," she said "Last year, if you remember we had just under $5000, so for me life is made up of goals and this year my goal was to get over 5000 for you."

Most times I don't like to write cheques, but this is one cheque I do love to write ... this year I have for you $6319."

MS Gallagher said she was "chuffed" with this year's event's success, which had the biggest attendance ever and attracted 30 traders.

She said that traders had already booked in for next year's event and that so far the event has raised $19,871 all of which has been donated to Gembrook CFA. "Because it was so successful and because we love to help our local CFA we are holding another event next year on September 7, so be sure to lock it in," she said.

Gembrook CFA Fire Captain Andrew Clark said the brigade "greatly appreciated" the ongoing support of Everything Patchwork and Quilting.

Get properties bushfire ready

By Derek Schlennstedt Council is urging property owners to start preparing their properties for bush and grass fires ahead of the Fire Danger Period, with courtesy reminder letters to be sent out soon.

The Yarra Ranges is one of the highest risk bushfire areas in Victoria and it is the responsibility of property owners and Council to ensure the municipality is prepared for the bushfire season.

Courtesy letters will soon be sent to residents across the Yarra Ranges who received a Fire Prevention Notice last year, reminding them that it is the critical time to prepare properties for the upcoming fire season.

Yarra Ranges Mayor, Len Cox, said that reducing the risk of bush and grass fires starting and spreading was everyone's responsibility.

"We live in a beautiful area, but we also happen to be in one of the most bushfire prone areas in the world," Cr Cox said.

"The climate, geography and vegetation in the Yarra Ranges mean we have the potential for serious fires each summer, and we're looking at an early start to the fire season.

"This is not only important to areas of the Yarra Valley such as Warburton, which has a high 6W MAIL

fire risk, but also our urban areas, where grassfires can easily start and spread.

"I encourage all of our residents to read about burning off in their area and how to best prepare their property to reduce their risk of a bush or grass fire spreading."

CFA's Manager of Community Safety for the North East Region, Tammy Garrett, said residents should always register their burn off with the ESTA on 1800 668 511 and check weather conditions before lighting a burn.

"Managing the bushfire risk is everyone's responsibility," she said.

"The more residents do to clean up their properties now, the more it will help the community should there be fires in the local environment.

"Clean your property and prepare now for the fire season. Don't leave it to the last minute when it may be too late."

Cr Cox encouraged residents to get on the front foot and prepare their properties early.

"Clearing any excess vegetation and ensuring your property is fire ready won't just prevent you receiving a Fire Prevention Notice or a fine, but it'll also give you peace of mind that you've done.

Smaller wineries give big to CFA

By Michael Doran A group of 25 Yarra Valley wineries, in conjunction with Woori Yallock Community Bank, has donated over $100,000 to local service groups since 2009.

This year $10,000 has been split between five Yarra Valley CFA brigades with the cheque presentation at Tokar Estate on 4 October.

At the handover, Daniel Tokar, President of the Smaller Wineries Association, said the money had been raised from the Yarra Valley Shortest Lunch and the Shedfest Wine Festival.

"Running these events allows our association to make the donations we do and is our way of giving back to the community we live and work in," Daniel Tokar said.

"It also helps to bring more visitors to the Yarra Valley and with 25 smaller wineries in our group that gives people a personal insight into how wines are made."

"This time we picked five local CFA stations, Badgers Creek, Coldstream, Dixons Creek, Healesville and Yarra Glen, and they will receive $2,000 each to spend as they see fit," Mr. Tokar said.

Liz Fletcher from the Badgers Creek brigade said fundraising is never an easy task and donations like these help to purchase more and updated equipment.

"For Badgers Creek we have very limited fundraising avenues, particularly given our location, so this is a big boost to our brigade," said Liz Fletcher.

"We are very grateful for the fundraising that the wineries and Bendigo Bank do for the mailcommunity.com.au

1191831-HM30-15

One hundred years after the battle that earned George Ingram the Victoria Cross, the first sod of earth was turned at the site of the Seville War Memorial.

In a moving commemoration, MP for Casey, Tony Smith spoke of George Ingram's childhood in Seville, attending Seville State School and delivering mail for his father's postal business.

"The war cast a dark cloud over the Ingram family" Tony Smith said. "Three sons enlisted to serve; Ronald, George and Alex but only George would return and this would haunt them all in the decades that followed."

George returned home to Seville, having been awarded the Victoria Cross and the Military Medal, and was given a huge welcome in the Seville Public Hall.

He was presented with an 18-carat gold watch and chain, inscribed from the people of the district, by the local shire and made a lifemember of the Lilydale RSL. "George Ingram continued to be a regular visitor to Seville up until his passing in 1961 and looked upon this district as his spiritual home," Tony Smith said.

"In 1956 he went to Alex's grave in France and spread a jar of Seville soil over his brother's resting place."

"Here in the Shire of Yarra Ranges we are very proud of our connections to George Ingram and applaud the work done by the Seville Township Group and others to get a memorial created in his honour."

"I know that once it is finished it will be a project that will impress everyone and be admired for generations to come," Mr. Smith said.

Guiding the new memorial process is Anthony McAleer, Chair of the Seville War Memorial Committee, and he spoke of the actions that resulted in Ingram being awarded the VC. "George Ingram was with the 24th Battalion as they entered the village of Montbrehain in France on 5 October, 1918, the last major action by the AIF in World War One," he said.

"He was awarded the last VC of the war and is still the only VC recipient from the Yarra Valley."

President of the Lilydale RSL, Don Parsons also spoke of the valour of George Ingram and the contribution made by the servicemen and women of the Yarra Valley.

Margaret E Crerar, Healesville.

IN BRIEF Dive into summer Yarra Ranges residents and visitors are encouraged to make the most of the warmer months and head out to their local outdoor pool, with opening dates scheduled for spring and summer.

From 8 October, the Belgrave Outdoor Pool will be opened, followed by the Lilydale Outdoor Pool, which will open to coincide with the Lilydale Show on 17 th November.

Yarra Ranges Mayor, Len Cox, said he was delighted to announce the outdoor pools' opening dates for summer.

"We recently switched on the water fountains and jets at Seville and Lillydale Lake water

play parks, and our outdoor pools are the next step as we get ready for summer," Cr Cox said.

"Through the warmer months, no matter where you are in the Yarra Ranges, it will be easy to make your way to one of our pools or water play parks so you can cool off and have some fun.

"In the meantime, we have indoor facilities open year-round across the Yarra Ranges, so there's no excuse not to head out for a swim or a play."

Lilydale Outdoor Pool will open on 17 November, to coincide with the Lilydale Show and Healesville Outdoor Pool will open soon after on 1 December.

Did you remember to change the clock?

IT’S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUT… What ever happened to the idea of a Lilydale bypass?

The Mail understands that land is reserved for the project, which would connect with Maroondah Highway east of Victoria Road and Anderson Street south of the Yarra Ranges Council offices.

It would require State Government funding but there's nothing on the table, and it's been almost a decade since VicRoads last spoke on design options.

With ever-increasing traffic in the region and more housing to come, should it be back on the table?

Masthead mix-up Readers might have been confused when picking up our hard-copy editions this week.

The Mountain Views masthead appeared on the Upper Yarra Mail front page, and the Ranges Trader Mail was on the Ferntree Gully Belgrave.

All papers still had the same localised content, but readers might not have known it from the front pages.

We're sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Props aplenty A positive aspect of elections is the impact on retail sales.

It seems that every politician making an announcement is wearing a new pair of RM Williams boots, a shiny hard hat or the ubiquitous high-vis vest.

Recently spotted at a Healesville tourist look-out was Eildon MP Cindy McLeish and Shadow Environment Minister Nick Wakeling, proposing a walking track for the highlands.

The backpacks they donned may well have been stuffed appropriately with rations, energy bars and wet-weather gear.

Or were they just props for the photo opportunity, perhaps trying to suggest the pair was about to hit the 115 kilometre track just proposed?

Alas, no trekking ensued and the backpacks were removed and chucked back in the car as soon as the snaps were done.

Intersection altercation Cindy McLeish has called upon the minister for road to address the Badger Creek Road intersection.

In a post on Facebook Ms Cleeish said that Just days after the Minister for Roads tried to tell me the Badger Creek Road intersection in Healesville was safe - someone has crashed into it damaging the pedestrian crossing."

Green Street consultation Yarra Ranges Council staff are inviting resident to meet with them on 25 October at Green Street where they will have a pop-up information booth.

Staff will be there from 3:30 until 5:30 and invite conversation, and ideas regarding the redesign, as well as addressing any concerns people might have.

The open space that is being proposed will be the only village square/plaza in the whole main street for events and exhibitions.

A plan to install covers over three netball courts at Pinks Reserve in Kilsyth received $200,000 thanks to 347 votes.

Simon suggested the idea for the Lillydale and Yarra Valley Netball Association to provide all-weather netball for its 2500 members, interschool sports and the wider community.

"Currently wet weather and heat cause numerous cancellations of games and training and limits the growth of netball in the community," he wrote.

Mooroolbark coin haul Thieves stole a bucket of coins from a Mooroolbark coin laundrette. Yarra Ranges CIU detectives said they forced entry to the Manchester Road premises' back door, possibly using a grinder, overnight from 29 to 30 September.

Police said the bandits removed a CCTV recorder and took a bucket filled with about $300 in coins. They caused about $5000 in damage.

Mansfield Highway Patrol members are investigating after a speeding motorcyclist refused to pull over in Victoria's north-east yesterday morning.

Police clocked the green and white motorcycle travelling at 90km/h in a 60km/h zone on the Maroondah Highway in Buxton about 11.30am.

They have caught up with the motorcycle in Taggerty and signalled to the rider to pull over however the rider has sped off. No pursuit was initiated.

Police believe the motorcycle likely continued travelling north on the Maroondah Highway towards Alexandra. Investigators would like to speak to anyone who saw the motorcycle, possibly a late-model Kawasaki, driving erratically in the area or has dash cam footage of the motorcycle to come forward.

Yarra Ranges police are warning of a trend in thefts from garden sheds on farms.

Detective Sergeant Math Smithwick issued the warning following a report about the theft of a hedge trimmer from a Yarra Glen property sometime during July or August.

"If there's no forced entry it can take people a while to realise anything's missing," he said.

"It has been a problem in the past.

"It's starting to become one again."

Det Sgt Smithwick urged people to lock their sheds and secure any valuables.

Op-shop to the rescue after defib theft A defibrillator that had already been used to save a young life was stolen from the clubrooms of Wesburn Junior Football Club in September. The theft left the club's 120 juniors unprotected until the stolen unit was replaced.

That was until the Yarra Junction Community Op-Shop found out about it and donated the $3,000 needed for a new one.

"They needed a new one and that's what we do, we help everyone we can," said Margaret Coles from the Op-Shop.

"It's important they got a new machine after the other one was stolen and it's something we have done for other clubs so we helped them," she said.

Club Secretary, Bernadette Meerkotter said that finding the money for a replacement was going to be a tough job for a stand-alone junior club.

"We lost our major sponsor this year and the only income we have is from the canteen and registrations and we need that to run the club," she said.

"It would have been really difficult to raise the money without raising fees for the players."

In accepting the cheque, club President Wayne Gribbrock said that having a de-fib

Pick My Project has been run and won, with several Yarra Ranges projects sharing more than $675,000 in funding.

The $30 million grants initiative put decision-making in the public's hands.

The State Government invited all Victorian residents aged 16 years and over to submit ideas for projects or programs that would make their community a better place to live.

The community then voted for their favourite project.

The Eastern Metro region - including the Yarra Ranges, Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Monash and Whitehorse local government areas - cast 26,043 votes.

The State Government announced on Tuesday 2 October is had allocated $2.9 million to the 25 projects in the region with the most votes.

The Light up Lilydale Dog Park proposal received 371 votes and $84,431.

Jessica submitted the idea, which will place solar lights at the site to encourage people to exercise in the winter months.

"There are arena lights available that last four hours with a full eight-hour charge," she said.

"This would light the park from 5.30pm to 9.30pm and allow a decent window for fulltime workers to make use of what is already such a great asset to Yarra Ranges Council."

Jessica approached the community with a petition to gauge interest and received close to

It'll include a splash zone, solar water heating connections and shade sails and will boost access for people of all abilities.

"Olinda Pool has been through an amazing renewal - except for our little toddler pool," submitter James said.

"Adding this upgrade will boost the attendance to the pool, further broaden the entire facility's appeal, and strengthen the connection to the adjacent Olinda Precinct Plan."

Autism Carer Connect Events received $25,000 thanks to 257 votes to hold free high tea and pamper afternoons for female carers with children with autism in Lilydale.

"Carer stress is on the rise and our events seek to provide an afternoon of joy, connection with others and opportunities to embrace selfcare," Kate suggested.

The Mooroolbark Traders and Community Group proposal for street art received 246 votes and $192,144.

"The local community will be invited to share ideas and participate in selecting artworks that they feel work best in each location," submitted Yolande said.

"Mooroolbark has enormous potential and a large, active community.

"However, its infrastructure has suffered from neglect, vandalism, a lack of resources and investment."

Yolande said the project would increase business, strengthen the local economy and foster pride of place, identity and belonging.

Police are investigating a fatal collision in Healesville on 6 October. It is believed a motorbike was travelling south along Myers Creek Road when it collided with a car travelling in the opposite direction about 10.40am.

The rider died at the scene. The male driver of the car assisted police with their enquiries. Four other occupants of the car were not injured.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Any witnesses are urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au

Cameras are rolling Nearly two and a half years ago during the 2016 federal election campaign I made a number of funding pledges to build a stronger and safer community here in the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges.

A big part of this was the pledge to fund and install a comprehensive network of closed-circuit television security cameras in key towns and communities to both detect and deter crime.

Cameras have been installed and operating for a considerable period of time in Lilydale, Healesville and Yarra Junction.

The evidence is clear; not only has a significant amount of criminal activity been captured on tape and the perpetrators caught and punished, their existence prevents some crime and provides a level of confidence for local communities.

In 2016 the Federal Coalition Government pledged camera networks for Yarra Glen, Woori Yallock, Monbulk, Mount Evelyn, Belgrave and Mooroolbark with an investment of more than $500,000.

Yarra Glen, Woori Yallock and Monbulk have been up and running for a while.

From my

desk Tony Smith MP P

Federal Member for Casey Mooroolbark will be online towards the end of the year.

And just last Friday I was pleased to attend the 'switch-on' of the camera networks in Belgrave and Mount Evelyn.

The modern cameras have incredible capacity.

Not only are images recorded, meaning the control centre does not need constant monitoring, they can also focus on the most intricate detail from significant distances.

Their value here in our community is maximised because of the comprehensive network.

This is because Victoria Police has a much better capacity to track where criminals have travelled from and to across the camera locations.

The cameras also bring an important economic benefit.

For small business owners in those communities they massively reduce the cost of wilful damage, graffiti and theft.

In addition, they provide the confidence for other retailers to open, or upgrade their businesses.

Families and visitors feel safer and are more inclined to visit and spend money at our local businesses.

The next round of applications under the Safer Communities Programme has recently closed. Victoria Police in conjunction with local traders from a number of other towns in our area have applied for additional funding to add to the existing camera networks.

With improved safety and confidence locally there is a lot of enthusiasm for the cameras which are controlled and managed by Victoria Police.

Hope for the high track

By Michael Doran A Liberal-Nationals State Government would allocate $200,000 for a feasibility study into The Highlands Track - a new, world-class hiking track through the Yarra Valley.

Eildon MP Cindy McLeish and Shadow Environment Minister Nick Wakeling announced the pledge in Healesville on Wednesday 3 October.

The proposed track would connect the Yarra Valley from Healesville to Lake Eildon via Marysville, a trek of 115 kilometres.

"This project is a great nature-based tourism opportunity to attract visitors from across Australia and overseas to the Yarra Valley and Central Highlands," Ms McLeish said.

"Our concept is to utilise existing trails and access tracks through Crown land and include huts along the route for overnight stays."

Mr Wakeling said the project would be designed with full community consultation and should bring a significant economic boost to the region. "Similar walks like this at Cradle

Mountain, the Grampians and in New Zealand draw large numbers of visitors, and with Healesville so close to Melbourne we see this as a great spot for the track," he said.

"If elected, we will get the feasibility study started straight away, engaging with the community, local councils and eco-tourism organisations in a consultative way.

"We are not saying the route is already planned out or what will be included, that is what the feasibility study is for.

"The Highlands Track will allow more people to experience our beautiful forests, be they serious hikers or families." Ms McLeish said the track would be based around managed nature-based tourism and be conceived through the involvement of a wide range of community and industry stakeholders.

"This project provides the opportunity for employment and tourism growth in the Central Highlands and will help ensure the region remains a top destination for nature tourists from across Australia and overseas," she said.

Nick Wakeling and Cindy McLeish announce the new Highlands Track.

Murrindindi welcomes MP bearing gifts for Kinglake

By Derek Schlennstedt Murrindindi Shire Council was pleased to welcome Victorian Minister for Agriculture and Regional Development, the Honourable Jaala Pulford MP, to Kinglake on Thursday 4 October 2018.

Ms Pulford was visiting Kinglake to announce the Victorian Government's commit-

ment to invest $750,000 in the 'Kinglake Town Centre and Streetscape Renewal Project'.

Mayor of Murrindindi Shire Council, Charlie Bisset said this funding, in conjunction with a contribution from Council of $249,000, is a sensational step toward rejuvenating the streetscape in Kinglake.

"Council is also seeking $750,000 in funding

support from the Federal Government to make this Project a reality," Cr Bisset said.

The 'Kinglake Town Centre and Streetscape Renewal Project' is a $1.74 million project.

It will go towards finishing the rebuild of Kinglake once and for all, which the town has been working towards since the 2009 bushfires.

"This Project is about looking forward to a bright future. It is our hope that this investment will provide a boost to local businesses, help attract more tourists and ensure a prosperous future for the people of Kinglake," Cr Bisset said.

When asked about Claire's road to the MCG, mum Genevieve credited the Cerebral Palsy Education Centre with her development.

"Since going to CPEC Claire has learnt to walk and talk in a beautiful, warm and caring environment," Genevieve said.

"She had minimal speech before doing the therapy at CPEC and now she talks so much everyone knows her as Chatterbox Claire. The physios there helped her learn to walk, starting off with a frame and that has changed her whole life."

Claire has learnt to ride a bike, which gives her a lot of fun but is also targeted at developing her legs on the path to walking unaided.

This holistic approach is a feature of the work done by CPEC, where physio, speech and occupational therapists work as a team on each individual.

"We were on our own before we found CPEC and without them Claire could not have developed the way she has," said Genevieve. "To be able to access all the services in one place is just fantastic."

"We go to group sessions every Tuesday and we come away feeling so warm and accepted, in a world where it is easy to feel Claire's condition is not accepted or understood by everybody".

The MCG walk is the finish of the Melbourne Marathon, for which CPEC is the official charity and has a team of 500 taking part.

CPEC receives no government funding, relying on donations to be able to provide its services.

Health call to arms

The Healesville Community Bushfire Group invites you to attend Living With Fire, a free community event focused on sustainable co-existence with bushfire.

If youʼre new to the area, interested in knowing more about fire in general, or seeking a better understanding of local bushfire risk and how best to prepare for the fire season, come along.

By Derek Schlennstedt

Through presentations, displays, and group discussions, the event will see us explore bushfire risk in the Healesville area, and consider how as a community, we can best prepare for and minimise that risk.

Justin Leonard, a lead CSIRO researcher, will be guest speaking at the event.

"Not one of our doctors can admit us into our local hospital," he said.

"You can go see a doctor and they will send you to Maroondah."

Resident Kira told about her struggle with chronic illness and how she had to travel regularly down to Ringwood to get simple X-ray scans.

"I suffer from chronic illness so a lot of these urgent care facilities are something I would use."

"Having the opportunity to use things like x-rays, MRI scans and CAT scans would be beneficial to me."

Ms McAllister ended the meeting urging people to contact their local members and made a 'call to arms' to residents in the Yarra

Valley, who wanted to see better health services at their local hospital.

"Certainly the need or desire hasn't diminished in our community and I think the voice is still very strong."

"This push for urgent care, for maternity and birthing, for obstetrics and all the supporting services, and for access to specialists locally and what should be a simple thing for our local GP's to refer to the local hospital ... it sounds to me like that is our ask."

"Its Nonsense that he hospital is full of patients from other areas, but local residents can't be referred in directly by their GP's."

"My request of all of you is to go away and speak to ten twenty or fifty people and ask them to act and contact your local member and go public, through social media or through conversation and remind people there are still things we deserve and need locally."

It was at a meeting in 2012 where around 100 residents met at the Memo in Healesville and resoundingly swore to save Healesville Hospital from demise.

Six years later and on October 4 another resounding oath has been made by over 40 people who gathered to speak about the need for better services and facilities at Healesville Hospital.

The meeting at the Memo centred on maternity services and urgent care services.

Ryrie Ward Councillor, Fiona McAllister opened the night by reflecting on the communities success in achieving a great hospital, but said that it was clear there was still work to be done.

"It's been 6 six years since we packed this hall with great concern about the potential loss of our hospital," she said.

"Want to spend some time talking about certainly what we've achieved and a huge amount has been achieved by this community over the past six years, but also be looking at where next - where are we wanting to go in terms of the services that we don't yet have?"

"There is a lot to celebrate it's a great facility beautiful building, but it is our view that there are still some things missing things we've been pushing for that aren't there yet and we think there is still work to be done to bring those facilities to the community." the meeting not only celebrated the services the group had maintained but called on the State Government and Opposition to explain their position on what still needs to be delivered, like the option of local birthing.

Residents spoke about their concerns, and although birthing was a major topic so too was urgent care and the requirement for local GP'S to be able to refer locals to their own hospital.

Oktoberfest in the pints

By Derek Schlennstedt The Yarra Valley's Oktoberfest was a rallying point for many locals to carouse with friends from afar.

With a variety of food trucks, German entertainment, DJs and, of course, beer, the festival attracted more than 1600 punters, all dressed up in their finest dirndls and lederhosen.

Organise Mel Grice had more than 10 beers imported straight from Munich for the day, which were of course the main draw card for punters.

"We had the pretzel eating competition, a stein holding competition and we actually broke last year's record and also had a female winner who held the stein out straight with one arm for over 10 minutes," she said."The entire event has gone off without a hitch, and it's been great to see everyone having so much fun."

Michael Mackinnon from Menzies Creek enjoyed tasting the variety of Munich imported beers.

Robert and Simone Groisse won the best dressed competition.

Art goes from will to form Held in the body, flung through the air, or drawn from the soil. What if art is action made solid?

From throwing liquid bronze to whistling for three days straight, the TarraWarra Biennial 2018: From Will to Form considers how the wild, intangible forces that animate behaviour might be present within an artwork.

For the sixth TarraWarra Biennial, 23 artists and one artist group from across Australia will present anarchic and persistent energies in a range of sculpture, painting, performance and film works. For some, 'will' is drawn from a relationship to country and earth, for others it is located in the depths of the psyche, while other works highlight the role of the body as both a conduit or concealer of willful forces.

These manifestations include 19 new commissions, performance events and works that

refigure the spaces of TarraWarra itself, including Bidjara artist Dale Harding's site-specific wall painting on the renowned 45-metre Vista Walk wall as well as new work from Vicki Couzens, Claire Lambe, Michelle Ussher, Mike Parr and Rob McLeish among many others.

Established in 2006 as a platform for identifying new contemporary and cutting-edge work, the TarraWarra Biennial has become a major forum for artistic expression in Australia.

From Will to Form is accompanied by a range of performances, artist talks and a comprehensive catalogue, providing audiences with a variety of contemporary art experiences.

Performances and talks will take place in the gallery during the weekend of 3 August and exhibitions will run until November.

Many of the 24 artists in the Biennial draw their inspiration from land and country; others from their internal psyche or the very materials they use.

Venomous celluloid makes for an entertaining B-ride Venom Starring Tom Hardy, Michelle Williams and Riz Ahmed Rated M

By Seth Lukas Hynes Venom, a Spider-man spin-off, is a sloppy but entertaining superhero action film.

In a laboratory accident, disgraced investigative journalist Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) merges with an alien organism named Venom, which gives him superhuman abilities.

The chemistry between Eddie and the Venom 'symbiote' (who originated in Marvel comics as a Spider-man antagonist) is the centrepiece of a scattershot but fun film.

Hardy portrays a witty, awkward protagonist, and Venom (voiced by Hardy) is honourable beyond his savage hunger. The two entities form an unlikely friendship, as Venom comes to like Eddie for his perseverance.

Venom utilises the title alien's insidious nature and body-morphing abilities for both

disquieting moments of body horror and creatively-choreographed (if chaotically shot) action scenes.

Venom has engaging performances, exciting action and solid atmosphere, but the plot is rushed and unfocused.

Riz Ahmed has a charismatic presence as billionaire antagonist Carlton Drake, a cruel visionary, but Carlton's plan to bring more symbiote aliens to Earth is very nebulous. As an antagonistic force, the symbiote Carlton

merges with is a complete afterthought, and the film detours several times into a pointless subplot showing how this symbiote reaches the US. The film also abandons its own rules, namely the symbiote's constant hunger and need for a compatible host, when dramatically convenient, thus diluting the tension in Eddie's 'condition'.

By Michael Doran In 1868 new settlers to the Wandin area held a church service in the home of a Mr. Payne, the start of 150 years of worship in the WandinSeville Uniting Church.

The first church on the current site was built in 1868, on an acre of land granted to the group to be used for 'religious purposes, public meetings and education'.

Work on the stone church began in 1881 with labour and materials coming from local settlers, including the Hunter, Sebire, Hogg, Holter and Payne families.

The first wedding celebrated by the church was between Lydia Gaudion and John Hunter.

The Gaudion's are one of the pioneer Wandin families and family members have been involved in music for the church since inception. Organist Fred Gaudion retired in August after playing the organ for 68 years.

In 1908 a Mr. Couch was granted use of the land between the church and the hall for his cow, on the condition that he kept the land clear of scrub and ferns.

Jenny Arms with three of the seven stained glass windows.

The kindergarten and a vestry were added in 1936, followed by a new hall and kitchen in 1960.

The Wandin and Seville congregations combined in the early 2000s and stained glass windows from Seville were fitted into the present church.

A prized historical item in the church is an original bible, The British and Foreign Bible Society Holy Bible, published in 1885. The bible was brought to the church by an early min-

ister, John Leigh Green.

On Sunday October 21 the church is holding a day of celebration to mark the 150 year anniversary. There will be a worship service at 10am with Rev. Sharon Hollis as the guest speaker, followed by lunch.

After lunch speakers from the pioneer families and others will tell their stories of life in the area and the church. The congregation is invited to bring any photos, books and items of interest to share with the group.

Jenny Arms of the Church Council said preparations for the anniversary celebrations have been extensive. "Our 150th Anniversary committee has been working on this for the last 12 months," she said.

"So many families in the district feel part of the church and have a real sense of ownership in what happens here, even if we don't see them regularly."

The day will close with afternoon tea and the theme of the day is "come when you can and leave when you must." For catering purposes please RSVP Jenny Arms on 9736 3292 or jenniewren62@gmail.com

Quad bike rollover rebates extended Victorian farmers are being urged to take advantage of a 12-month extension to the rebate scheme to fit rollover protection on quad bikes, or substitute their bike for a safer alternative.

Eligible quad bike owners now have until 30 September 2019 to take part in the $6 million scheme, which provides a $600 rebate to fit rollover protection devices to existing quadbikes, or $1200 towards safer substitute vehicles, such as side-by-sides.

So far, the rebate has been used to fit more than 2,340 quad bikes with rollover protection devices, which help to prevent riders from being

pinned or crushed under a quad bike if it tips over.

A further 1,600 subsidies have been given to farmers and other employers to help pay for substitute vehicles.

The rebate was first announced in 2016 as part of a dedicated campaign to help reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries caused by quad bikes.

Following an extensive awareness campaign, WorkSafe began enforcement activities to control the risk of quad bike rollovers in March this year.

Employers must now take all reasonably

practicable steps to prevent the risk of quad bike rollovers. This may include the fitting of rollover protection devices.

"The risk of a rollover should be a concern for all employers with quad bikes, and WorkSafe is urging anyone who hasn't already done so to consider taking up the rebate," WorkSafe Acting Executive Director of Health and Safety Paul Fowler said. ''WorkSafe inspectors can and do use enforcement notices where they see the risk of quad bike rollover that has not been controlled, so far as is reasonably practicable".

MARKET SCENE

There's plenty to keep everyone amused within the award-winning Bollygum children's park.

The Bollygum Community market showcases unique one-off pieces, artistic talent and creative minds.

A market for everyone Any day is a good day at the Bollygum Community Market.

This country market in Kinglake has been going for over 25 years and has grown from just a few local producers to a wide variety of stalls.

The market showcases unique one-off pieces, artistic talent and creative minds, as well as local home-grown and homemade food and wine.

Regular stalls include clothing, plants, pots and garden art, soaps and candles, pickles, jams and honey, bread and wine, fruit and veg-

etables, hand sewn homewares, jewellery, coffee and hot food, cakes and slices and much more.

Then there are always the new stalls that continuously contribute to the changing face of the market - marketgoers never know what they might find!

As well as the market there is also a skate park, dry creek beds for a spot of fishing (rods provided), a sandpit with a mechanical digger, bridges to cross, five sets of swings (including a birds nest), tunnels to explore, spiral and

tunnel slides to slip down, climbing walls, distorting mirrors, musical cylinders, and for the thrill seekers there are flying foxes, monkey bars and much more.

The park is based on the book of the same name written and beautifully illustrated by Australian author and wildlife artist, Garry Fleming.

Bollygum is the story of a little possum who is taken from her warm and comfortable 'roof' home in the city and let loose in the dark and unfamiliar forest of Bollygum. Frightened and all alone, she is

befriended by wombat and his friends who help her find her way back to her family.

The Bollygum Community Market is held from 10am to 2pm on the second Sunday of the month (from September to May) in the award-winning children's park, 'Bollygum' (40 Whittlesea-Kinglake Road, Kinglake).

All the proceeds from stall fees are used to maintain the park. Copies of the 'Bollygum' book are also available at the market or by contacting the market co-ordinator on 0474 837 900 or bollygummarket@gmail.com.

WANDIN FIELD DAY

HSV has the horsepower

By Derek Schlennstedt There will be a new breed of car driving around the Yarra Ranges now that Heritage Holden in Lilydale has become a HSV dealer.

They'll be showing their brand new line of performance vehicles including the Colorado Sportscat and the Silverado at the Wandin Silvan Field days.

For the past 16 years the heritage Holden team have attended the event, though Larry Morris from Heritage Holden Lilydale said this was the first year they would be displaying HSV vehicles.

"For the Last 16 years we've come to the Wandin Silvan Field days but this one will be different with our new line of vehicles," he said.

"It is pretty big news going forward."

"We will have new HSV products and it's pretty exciting to have the opportunity to sell some cars that haven't been seen around the Yarra Valley."

The types of cars Larry is talking about aren't your average ute.

Bold and undeniably dynamic, the new Colorado SportsCat is in a league of its own.

It's powered by a 2.8 litre double overhead cam 4-cylinder common-rail injection Duramax Turbo Diesel engine that offers 147kW of power and up to 500Nm of torque.

Couple this with some tasteful suspension modifications and it becomes an on-road weapon.

Also appearing next to the Colorado will be the granddaddy of Ute's; the Silverado imported directly from the US. Power, payload and towing capability are what the Silverado is famous for and all these attributes are reflected in the five-model 4x4

You can see the powerful Chevy Silverado at the Wandin Silvan Field days at the heritage Holden Marquee.

Crew Cab line-up, which will feature at the Wandin Silvan Field days.

These heavy-duty trucks perform as aggressively as they look and all five vehicles in this legendary range, share the same, uncompromising, powertrain. The Duramax 6.6L Turbo

Diesel V8 engine pumps out a maximum 332kW of power and 1,234Nm of torque and is mated to an Allison 1000 6-speed automatic transmission.

With 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes and an automatic locking rear differential, the Chev-

rolet Silverado range redefines rugged.

Mr Morriss invited people to come to the Wandin Field days on Friday 12 October and Saturday 13 October where they can view these immense vehicles. You can find and see them at Holden heritage marquee.

WANDIN FIELD DAY

Zoom zoom in a boom Designed and developed locally, the New-Look BT-50 is purpose built for Australians looking for a tough ute that will tackle everything from the daily grind to off road adventures.

With major front-end design changes and added equipment across grades, this is the second and most comprehensive update to the Mazda BT-50 since its launch in 2011.

The New-Look BT-50 boasts a bold new bumper and grille to achieve a stronger road stance and you can take a look at it at this years Wandin-Silvan Field days. .

Sharpening up the bumper, the outer edges have been squared off to give the ute a lower visual centre of gravity and a more solid bearing on the road.

Strong, straight lines are carried through to new fog light surrounds and a large trapezoid lower air intake with skid plate, accented with mesh texture and a 3-dimensional insert for greater contrast.

The front-end changes are bolstered by equipment upgrades across the range, which includes an exciting first for Mazda, the introduction of Apple CarPlay&reg; and Android

•฀฀Tank฀sizes฀from฀520฀litres-27,900฀litres •฀One฀Piece฀Moulds฀with •฀15฀year฀warranty฀on฀Tanks •฀฀Wombat฀water฀Carters฀&฀Troughs

Auto&reg; across all grades.

The flagship GT will take another step up in class, offering more convenience and design differentiation as standard. The GT adds a chrome Sports Bar with integrated highmounted LED stop light, a heavy-duty tub liner to protect the tub and tailgate from scuffs and dents, tailgate central locking to safely secure gear in the tray and a single 12 volt auxiliary socket and light to aid visibility in the tub.

The XT will see the biggest changes with the addition of a Reverse Camera to improve rear vision and a 7-inch Alpine Infotainment

System to keep drivers connected to the world around them. Adding to the impressive package is an equally impressive starting price of just $28,990 Driveaway.

The best way to stop the spread of fruit fly is to not bring fruit into the Yarra Valley from regions like QLD, NSW and northern Victoria where there are Queensland fruit fly populations.

All it takes is one hidden larvae in a piece of fruit and it can be hard to see the small 'sting' on the fruit.

Last season (summer and autumn 2018); Queensland fruit flies were detected in Yellingbo, East Warburton, Healesville, Seville, Wandin, Silvan and Coldstream.

Where "only flies in traps" were identified, investigations took place to try to find the source.

Where larvae were identified, landowners cleaned up the infested fruit and took eradication steps such as increased surveillance of fruit, fruit fly trapping and notifying neighbours - they even helped their neighbours clean up and remove any fruit that might have also been infested. They froze and solarised the fruit to kill the larvae.

Transporting infested fruit can cause new populations of fruit fly can establish in fruit fly free regions, causing devastation and destruction to commercial crops.

The fruit fly can hibernate through winter and spring in warm sheltered environments - like bushland, river edges, parks, sheds, gardens and residential homes.

Citrus trees are often a refuge for fruit flies over winter. If residents have any overwintering fruit fly from last season's detections, they can take action by trapping and baiting any remnant overwintering adults this spring.

The Yarra Valley could potentially host up to three fruit fly generations in a summer season if early detections are not addressed.

Fruit fly infested fruit needs to be treated with heat or extreme cold to kill the larvae.

Boiling or freezing solid are methods that anyone can do.

Currently, large volume disposal options include commercial waste removal, animal feed, deep burial (below one metre of compacted soil, drenching with insecticide, as well as long-term chilling and burning.

More sustainable chemical-free methods for commercial-scale fruit disposal of potentially infested fruit are being investigated by the Box Hill Institute's Biosecurity Centre of Excellence.

Fear night’s in train

By Michael Doran It's nearly time to dust off those frightening costumes, harvest the pumpkins, top up on witches brew and head for Healesville Station.

The Halloween Ghost Train, run by Yarra Valley Railway, is getting ready to leave the platform on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 October.

A new feature this year is the Little Train of Spooks, designed to captivate the imaginations of pre and primary school aged spooks and sprites.

The Little Train of Spooks is guaranteed to get the juices flowing and a croaky cackle from even the youngest of Halloween enthusiasts and their handlers.

With prizes for the best costumes on each trip and departures every 45 minutes from 10am to 3.15pm on Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday there is room for more thrills than any little spook could bear.

Tickets for the Little Train of Spooks are Adult $18, Concession $16, Child $12 and Family $50.

For those who want to risk going on the really frightening rides, times will be from 8pm to midnight on Friday and from 6pm on Saturday.

The spooked-up Railmotor RM22 will head off on the haunted haul from Healesville to Tarrawarra on the hour and is promised to keep all on the edges of their seats.

There will be lots of surprises on the train, in the tunnel and along the tracks and you will never know who you will bump into on the ride.

But be warned, these rides are so frightening they are recommended for ages 12 and over.

Tickets are available for pre-purchase online or on the day at Healesville station, but it is Halloween so pre-purchase will avoid any disappointment for spook-attired hopefuls. Tickets are Adult $35 or $30 for Child/Concession.

All tickets are available now at www.yvr.com. au and prices don't include the booking fee. Enquiries to the Reservation Office on 5962 4429 or email ghosttrain@yvr.com.au

No to Great Forest plan

By Casey Neill A Coalition State Government would not establish the proposed Great Forest National Park.

Opposition Leader Matthew Guy confirmed the position to media at Melbourne Zoo on Monday 1 October.

Environmentalists have been pushing to set aside 355,000 hectares in the Central Highlands to create the Great Forest National Park (GFNP).

The area includes native timber logging sites.

Victorian Association of Forest Industries (VAFI) CEO Tim Johnston said Mr Guy's commitment was "a positive step for the timber and forestry industry in the state, and he looks forward to seeing the detailed policy platforms from the Coalition".

"I am encouraged to see that the Coalition are clear on their policy towards the proposed GFNP, which if established would have devastating consequences for the industry, and a direct impact socially and economically for all of Victoria.

"The timber and forestry industry brings in over $7.3 billion in sales and service income for the state of Victoria and employs some 20,000 workers directly, with thousands more employed through flow-on activity."

The Central Highlands region is located around Healesville, Kinglake, Toolangi, Warburton, Marysville and Woods Point, and includes the vast majority of remaining leadbeater's possums.

A State Labor Government spokesperson said: "We continue to work with industry, unions and environmental groups to ensure Victoria balances conservation outcomes with jobs."

The Greens committed to the proposal, with leader Richard Di Natale citing strong economic reasons around tourism and jobs, as well as conservation.

A night of Halloween madness.

All aboard for the Healesville Spooktacular.

Sanders continues streak

By Derek Schlennstedt Three Bridges enduro motorcyclist Daniel Sanders wowed the crowds at Round 10 of the 2018 Yamaha Australian Off-Road Championships (AORC) in Omeo, Victoria, where he took out the win in the E2 round.

Set atop the picturesque alpine township of Omeo in Victoria, scores of spectators were treated to a spectacular cross-country battle between Australia's best Enduro competitors who provided ample excitement and palpable competition.

After returning from Enduro GP local Daniel Sander has come back and looked like he never left, taking win number ten for the season on his way to the 2018 E2 title.

Sanders would once again do things the hard way after a big fall on the opening lap saw him lose his helmet visor, but they didn't stop the Husqvarna rider.

Sanders regained his composure and put his head down and charged. His efforts pushed himself over the line in a time of 2:55:43.427.

The E2 champion summed up the victory and spoke about the first fall which set him back.

"It's so good to wrap it up in my home state of Victoria, and as well finishing with cross country it's like you have won a race and you get to celebrate it with the team."

"I had a massive crash on the first lap and went flying over the bars and lucky my fox helmet saved me once again."

"To come back and enjoy racing and give 100% makes this so much more enjoyable and a big thank you to the Husqvarna team for everything they do," said Sanders.

Mr consistent Josh Green was back to his best on his Yamaha, grabbing second place after he stopped the clock at 2:58:30.695.

Green was one of the smoother riders out there on a track that deteriorated quite quickly, and it payed off for him as he finished the three hour strongly.

The last spot on the podium went to Green's Yamaha teammate Wil Ruprecht.

Three Bridges enduro motorcyclist Daniel Sanders continue to dominate in the E2 Australian Off-Road Championships and is well on his way to taking the title.

Rio's run reaches Yarra Glen, all to help the kids

By Michael Doran On the second day of his 'Rio's Run' from Melbourne to Sydney, Ryan Fowler arrived in Yarra Glen on Tuesday afternoon.

"It's been a big run today and I am just trying to find my groove for the journey ahead. We left Dandenong at 8am and got here around 2pm," Ryan said.

He is running to raise funds for Rio's Legacy, a charity dedicated to children's palliative care services. Ryan and his wife, Karen started the charity after losing their son, Rio, earlier this year.

Rio's Run is more than 1,000 kms from Melbourne to Sydney. mailcommunity.com.au

After two days he has covered 75 kilometres with 24 days and 954 kms ahead. "We are getting great support along the way from the locals and they are really getting around us," he said.

"I have a support team of eight with me and we are easy to spot along the highway with our truck out front," Ryan added.

With that he left for a massage, a meal and some sleep to recover before Wednesday's stage from Yarra Glen to Yea. Details of the run and Rio's Legacy at www. rioslegacy.org.au.

With a support vehicle Ryan is easy spot on the highway.

The bowls are back

Smiles, friendship set up the season Yarra Ranges Athletics Club launched a new summer season of Track and Field at Morrison Reserve in Mt Evelyn on Saturday morning.

Little Athletics competitors turned up in large numbers, with a great mixture of new members on trial and experienced athletes returning for their 8th or 9th season.

The competition kicked off after all the athletes were gathered together in their age groups, to meet new friends and reacquaint with last years competitors.

With nervous excitement the U6 athletes began their athletics experience with the On Track skills development session hosted by coach Malcolm Duncan.

The older age groups began their season with a mixture of 100m sprints, long jump, shotput, discus and 800m races, with some age group changes this season, it was great to see the new friendships already being formed.

Across all the age groups, it was clear that our athletes were happy to be back at the track, shaking off any winter rustiness and demonstrating that they will be striving for new personal best performances all through the summer rounds.

The Yarra Ranges Athletics club was recently able to fund the purchase of new timing equipment, with the new streamlined electronic recording make for quicker processing of results, parents and athletes were able to review their results shortly after lunch.

We look forward to week 2 of competition when the athletes will complete the full version of Program 1, when hurdles, high jump and javelin get included in the event list for the first time this season.

By Garry Lewis Warburton one played Ferntree Gully one to start the new Saturday Pennant season.

They found the tricky rink conditions quite challenging before going down 55 to 104 in a disappointing start.

Warburton two stepped up to the challenge of Division three against Boronia one at home.

After trailing at the break, they fought back to be in with a chance before Boronia's experienced players steadied to guide them to a solid victory, 66 to 91.

Warburton three unfortunately had to forfeit to Box Hill RSL four due to the unavailability of a few players.

Hopefully next week we can get a game against Bennettswood three at home.

New and beginning players are still encouraged to join our small but friendly club. Coaching is available from qualified coaches.

The Mid- Week Tuesday Pennant team played Boronia one away. They too found the opposition far too strong and went down 42 to 74.

Social Bowls continues on Mondays from 12 noon. New and beginning players are always welcome.

The popular Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Competition commences on Wednesday October 31.

The under eleven girls running in the 800 metres.

Not to be outdone, the Yarra Ranges Athletics senior athletes also competed in the afternoon at Casey Fields for the opening round of the Athletics Victoria Shield competition.

In the first of 12 rounds, they began the journey with the aim of returning to the Shield finals to be held in February. The U18 men will be aiming to defend their Shield title, and the Open Mens and Womens teams aiming to

step higher in the rankings.

With a wide range of event choices, athletes lined up against other club athletes of similar ability to create highly competitive heats throughout the afternoon.

It's not too late to get involved in either Little Athletics or the senior competition with Athsvic, any interested athletes can contact the club via e-mail join@yarrarangesathletics.org.au

MOTORING

You can see the Bullitt

By Derek Schlennstedt Two of Australia's premier automotive events will combine forces next month to celebrate an important milestone.

Motorclassica and the Australian Grand Prix will mark the 90th anniversary of the race's first-ever running, with a special tribute display at Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Building on 12-14 October.

Australia's most prestigious motor race, the Australian Grand Prix is the world's second oldest, having been staged for the very first time on the dusty public roads of Phillip Island in 1928.

"Australia's Grand Prix has such a rich and interesting history, and its role in the development of the sport here has been significant, so

we are delighted to be able to stage a special tribute to its 90 years of history," Motorclassica Event Director Paul Mathers said.

"In partnership with the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, we are creating a display of important cars from throughout the event's nine decades of history, including the very first winner from 1928.

"We'll also have on hand Australia's own 1980 World Champion Alan Jones, who will share his memories of winning the race in 1980 and of his father's success in the same event in 1959."

Visitors to Motorclassica will have the chance to win the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix 2019 experience door prize, which includes a three-day Grandstand pass for two

from 1910 to 1940, and a celebration of 70 years of the legendary Harley-Davidson Panhead and 60 years of the Triumph Bonneville.

Motorclassica 2018 will pay tribute to the American muscle cars of the late '60s, the tiny, quirky automotive "fad" of Micro Cars, and an exhibition of significant Cadillac models.

In contrast, a select group of modern manufacturers will use the Event to display a mix of sports and performance models, several of them making their official Australian debuts.

There will also be a display of cars and motorcycles from the outrageous Art Deco era,
