Car parking boost

By Derek Schlennstedt A multi-level carpark will be built at Ferntree Gully train station under a $60 million Federal Government plan.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Aston MP Alan Tudge and Deakin MP Michael Sukkar announced the parking improvements on 7 February at Croydon train station.

The plans expect 400 to 500 extra all-day parking spaces to be built at Croydon, Ringwood, Ferntree Gully and Mitcham, and an average $15 million will be spent at each site.

The carparks will be paid for through the Federal Government’s Urban Congestion Fund and planning and is expected to start immediately.

Mr Tudge said the new carpark would fix the problems at Ferntree Gully and also take pressure off the Upper Gully station carpark.

“I have secured $15 million which will allow us to construct up to 500 carparks at Ferntree Gully station,” he said.

“Ferntree Gully station is a central one for people around the community, not just Ferntree Gully residents.

“It is not uncommon for Rowville and Lysterfield residents to drive up to Ferntree Gully to get onto the train.”

He said that the extra car spaces would ease early-morning parking woes for commuters.

“The station carpark is often at capacity by 7am, which then pushes overflow into neighbouring streets...Upper Gully station has a similar problem,” he said.

“The new carpark is likely to be multi-level, as this is the only way to increase the capacity.

“The carpark will remain free and the design will be developed in close consultation with local residents.

“More car parks will make it easier and faster for locals to get onto the train and then back home again in the evening.”

A multi-level carpark will be built at Ferntree Gully train station.

If life gives you lemons...

By Derek Schlennstedt When you’re young there are many ways you might make some extra pocket money.

There are the kids who deliver flyers, mow lawns, rake leaves and for Isaac from Silvan, offering a refreshing glass of lemonade is a proven way to bring in the dollars.

The hot weather entrepreneur, 8, was captured by Mail photographer Rob Carew on Monbulk Road, Silvan, selling lemonade made with real lemons.

Isaac said he and his brother took turns manning the lemonade stand and used lemons from their own back yard to make the refreshing drink.

“We did it for about two weeks, mainly be-

cause we had nothing to do over school holidays and thought we could earn a bit of money,” he said.

The duo made more than a little money and selling each glass for $1 made a hefty $150 from roadside stall.

“When we were in Silvan we had such a busy road that we earned a bit of money and had heaps of people stopping,” Isaac said.

“That was the best spot that we found.”

While he didn’t want to reveal the secret to a good glass of lemonade, Isaac said the recipe could be found on YouTube.

As for the money, he and his brother were unsure what they'd put it towards.

“Not really sure yet...we were just trying to earn some extra money,” he said.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING...

Gembrook boundary confusion On Tuesday during question time, the Minister for Education for the Andrews Labor Government James Merlino demonstrated how blind he is to the Gembrook electorate.

The Minister embarrassingly forgot the location of the new Pakenham Primary School boasting it was in the Labor-held electorate of Bass when it is well in the Gembrook electorate.

This just highlights the Minister is continuingly blind to the Gembrook electorate with Emerald Secondary College still waiting for urgent funding to rebuild their deteriorated maths and science rooms.

At the November election it was promised an elected Liberal Government will rebuild these classrooms to create a STEM Centre.

It was no surprise the Labor Government didn't match this commitment as the Minister seems confused of where the Gembrook electorate is.

The Minister and the Labor Government needs to stop playing party politics and turning a blind eye to Emerald Secondary College.

Brad Battin, Gembrook MP

Refugees have rights Your correspondent ("Take responsibility", 5 February) is incorrect when he asserts that his definition of refugees and asylum seekers as being "illegal immigrants" is supported by the United Nations.

The foundational document of the United Nations on this point is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by all civilised nations in 1948.

I recommend that all persons interested in the issue of the fundamental rights of people read this document in its entirety.

It is not a very long document.

But I particularly refer your correspondent to the following articles of that document: Article 1 - all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

Geoff Sands took this great shot of eastern grey kangaroos playfighting in his Emerald back yard. He was about 50 metres away from their tousle, which only lasted about five minutes. Geoff has seen up to nine roos on his 20-acre property at one time but this was the first time he’d seen them fight.

Article 3 - everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.

Article 5 - no one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

Article 9 - no one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.

Article 14 - everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.

Successive Australian governments have contravened these articles, with respect to

refugees and asylum seekers who have been arbitrarily detained and subjected to cruel and inhuman treatment in the off-shore detention centres of Nauru and Manus Island.

These people exercised their right as enshrined in international law and sought refuge in Australia, and we locked them up and threw away the key.

There are countless examples of refugees who have been granted Australian citizenship who have gone on to make a contribution to the Australian economy, Dr Munjed Al Muderis being one of the better known.

The recent awarding of the Victorian Premier's Award for Literature to a prominent Kurdish Iranian journalist and asylum seeker on Manus Island, Behrouz Boochani, carrying a cash prize of $100,000, clearly shows that refugees are capable of generating their own income when given the opportunity to do so.

Your correspondent's suggestion that all refugees and asylum seekers will be a burden on the Australian economy is clearly incorrect.

Unsafe E.coli water test

By Derek Schlennstedt Lysterfield Lake's water quality has been deemed unsafe for swimming, only weeks after being reopened.

Parks Victoria confirmed on 5 January that testing at the lake had returned results which showed the presence of E.coli.

"Parks Victoria's water testing from last week has shown E.coli levels at Lysterfield Lake have exceeded trigger levels for safe swimming (260 orgs/100ml) again," a spokesperson said.

"This means that "Swimming Not Recommended" signs have been reinstalled - as per the approved risk management plan."

The closure comes after the lake was re-

opened a few weeks ago on 24 January, but due to unsafe levels of E.coli the popular swimming spot has now been closed E. coli is a type of bacteria which is used as an indicator of faecal contamination in water from warm-blooded animals and humans.

IN BRIEF

By Danielle Galvin

Putting a stop to stealing

When her contractions started at home late one night in January, Amanda St Leger wasn’t convinced she was in labour.

In fact, she readily admits she was probably “in denial”.

Little did she know that the mild contractions, at 40 weeks and one day pregnant with her second baby, would suddenly get very intense, very quickly.

She is the local Olinda mum who made headlines for giving birth in the carpark of the 1000 Steps.

She hastens to add that it wasn’t planned that way. But nonetheless, it’s a memorable story to tell.

Despite some thinking maybe she’d just attempted to walk up the popular tourist track, she just didn’t quite make it to the Angliss Hospital, only two minutes up the road.

Beautiful baby Mitchell just couldn’t wait.

“I was having very mild contractions probably for two hours before I left home,” she said.

“Because my first labour was quite fast, it was only six hours, so (my husband) Drew was like 'well this time we have to get to the hospital early' so he called the midwife and the midwife said go to hospital.

“And I was nowhere near ready to go and I was angry at him for making me go. As soon as I got dressed and ready to go, contractions stopped.

“So I spent the first five minutes of the car ride yelling at him for making me go to hospital!”

But Drew was right to hurry her along - their baby was on his way.

In the car on the way down the mountain, Amanda’s waters broke.

“I said 'this baby is going to come in the car' and he’s laughing!” she said.

“And then two more contractions and I told him to 'pull over because the baby is coming, it’s time to pull over' and he’s still not believing me, and then I said 'call an ambulance right now'.”

With the help of triple-zero operator Maddie, who advised Drew to pull over, Mitch was born.

Listening back to that call was an emotional experience at first, an incredible record of the moments Mitchell took his first breath and cried in his dad’s arms.

“It was hard to listen to the first time, I cried.

And now I just think it’s funny,” Amanda said. “(Drew) stayed very calm.”

Olinda police arrested a woman over alleged shoplifting.

They allege that the 45-year-old Olinda woman entered several shops in the Olinda Village on 31 January, selected several items and left each store without paying.

Store owners stopped her from leaving the car park off Parsons Lane and police attended.

They searched her car, arrested her and escorted her back to Olinda police station for interview over theft.

She was and bailed to the Ringwood Magistrates' Court.

Talking trees

Recovering well in hospital after the dramatic entrance, Drew, Millie, Amanda and bub.

Hilariously, there had been no signs or indications of the very dramatic entrance Mitchell would make into the world.

Amanda, a nurse, said she started thinking she’d have to be induced.

Even when she called her mum that night to pick up their eldest daughter Millie, 2, about 9.30pm, her mum didn’t really believe she was in labour either.

When she called at midnight, Amanda’s mum was in shock she had indeed given birth in the car on the side of the road.

Until she showed her a photo from the ambulance, she thought her daughter was just pulling her leg.

Thankfully, everything was smooth sailing from then on, with Mitchell a healthy weight and feeding and sleeping as well as to be expected for a newborn.

The second-time parents stayed remarkably calm and there’s no doubt they’ll be sharing the story for years to come.

“I was thinking about it recently, how lucky we were everything did line up properly,” Amanda said.

Olinda police are reminding residents to remain wary around trees.

Due to the dry conditions and severe heat, many trees are experiencing heat stress and are more likely to drop limbs.

Sergeant Andrew Herdman at Olinda police said there had been a few close calls.

“We had a young female driver on 30 January who was driving towards Monbulk just past Kallista when a large branch fell onto the road directly in front of her,” he said.

“She was unable to avoid the very large limb and collided with it, causing damage to the steering and front end.

“As a result the car was not drivable and was towed to Bayswater.”

Sgt Herdman warned drivers to have alternate routes if roads were closed.

“And drivers need to be aware that they are to pass the directing police and other emergency services at 40 km/h,” he said.

Rider intercepted

Mum Amanda with baby Mitchell, only a few minutes old. 190180

Police impounded a Ferntree Gully man's motorcycle for 30 days over several driving offences.

Greater Dandenong Highway Patrol members intercepted a Honda XR250L motorcycle at the intersection of Princes Highway and Springvale Road in Springvale about 10pm on Friday 1 February.

They allege the 33-year-old rider had a suspended rider learner's permit and refused police requests to undergo a preliminary oral fluid test.

Police impounded the motorcycle for 30 days at a cost of $895 and the rider will receive a summons to attend court at a later date for charges of refusing an oral fluid test and riding while suspended.

Cut chronic stress to heal Chronic stress is a major factor that inhibits the body's natural ability to repair and self-heal.

All chronic illness is affected to some degree by sympathetic (nervous system) dominance which results in physical, emotional and chemical stress to your body.

By nourishing and supporting the nervous system with a holistic approach it is possible to shift the body back into a state of balance that is perfectly adept to heal.

Understanding how your body is designed to adapt to stress can be helpful.

An acute stressor, for example being chased by a dog, will activate your body's fight or flight response, mobilising energy to your muscles, increasing your heart rate and respiratory output.

The adrenal glands produce adrenaline and noradrenaline, and cortisol levels rise.

This response is perfect for a short-lived experience but nowadays many people are deal-

Grace period is now over

Sue and Colin Emary have established a charity in memory of their daughter Cassandra, who died while pursuing her dreams in Nepal last November.

The Gembrook local was an ‘inspiring’ young kayaker and avid sportswoman and was known as Cassanga to her friends.

She succumbed to injuries sustained in a rafting accident in Pokhara, Nepal, on 29 November.

All who knew Cassandra adored her passion for life and adventure and friends and family said she lived her life without boundaries.

That lifestyle led her to engage in various extreme sports, including paragliding, wake boarding and whitewater rafting, even representing Australia in the White Water Rafting World Championships in Argentina.

Her parents set up the charity to reflect the same values and love for adventure that Cassandra displayed in her life.

It aims to support and promote unity and genuine inclusion of women in the outdoor sports and eco-adventure community around the globe.

The Cassanga Fund Facebook page states that the charity was created because “Cassanga wanted to make a difference”.

“She was extremely passionate about supporting and promoting women in adventure sports,” it said.

"Together we can make this happen for her with our Donate a Dollar Campaign.

“So get on board and please donate a dollar to help raise a million.”

Cassandra was the first known westerner to have a modernised traditional Nepali cremation on the river where she died.

For more information about the fund and to donate, visit www.facebook.com/cassangafund.

Children's safety when being picked up and dropped off at school is everyone's responsibility, says Yarra Ranges Council.

Primary and secondary students across the shire are now back at school so school zone speed restrictions are again in place.

Yarra Ranges Mayor Tony Stevenson encouraged everyone to do their bit and make sure the year got off to a safe start.

"Watch out for children walking to and from school and always observe the speed limit - especially during school pick up and drop off time," he said.

"Council's crossing supervisors will be helping to guide children and families on their walks to and from school, but everyone can do their bit to help make sure our kids get some safely.

"Safety can be as simple as getting your kids in and out by the kerbside door at drop-offs and pick- ups so they're clear of traffic, supervising children near traffic, walking or cycling to school with them, and driving carefully."

Cr Stevenson said council officers had been visiting schools at the start and end of the day to talk to parents about parking regulations and appropriate areas to park.

"Parking in appropriate spots and using the right pick up and drop off zones has a big impact on safety for kids and other pedestrians," he said.

"School visitors should get familiar with parking regulations at their school and the best place to drop off and pick up kids - if you're unsure, have a chat to your school.

"We have a grace period for the first two weeks of the school year so we can get to know families, help them find the best way to navigate the sometimes-stressful pick up and drop off times and give them an easy start to the year."

The grace period was to end on Monday 11 February.

Sex stuns On The Basis Of Sex Starring Felicity Jones, Armie Hammer and Caitlin Spaney Rated M

Lizzie Kelly from Upwey High School with her artworks Bayview and Burwood.

Student creations The work of talented Yarra Ranges teenagers is being presented throughout February with the VCE Creative Showcase exhibition opening on 30 January.

The showcase will feature the work from 2018 students' VCE art will bring together students from the entire Yarra Ranges, into one dynamic, multi-disciplinary exhibition to be held at Burrinja Gallery, Upwey.

The Upwey exhibition, which runs from 15 February until 18 February, will have work from Mountain District Christian School,

Healesville High School, Mount Lilydale Mercy College, Yarra Hills Secondary College, Little Yarra Steiner School, Mount Evelyn Christian School, Billanook College, Upper Yarra Secondary Collage, Emerald Secondary College, Monbulk College, St Joseph's College, Upwey High School, Belgrave Heights Christian school, Alia college, Lilydale High School, Mooroolbark College and Mater Christi College.

This is the first time the whole region is represented in one exhibition, with a three day gallery take over including the exhibition,

public program, workshops, and professional development.

The Creative Showcase is an annual celebration of the creative talents of the graduating art and studio art students from across Yarra Ranges and is an exciting chance to see a diverse collection of works.

These works range from digital media to pottery and from paintings to costumes.

For more information about the showcase go to www.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/vceshowcase.

On The Basis Of Sex is an enthralling, superbly-crafted biopic about the early career of lawyer and US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones).

Director Mimi Leder deftly merges internal and external conflict for a tense, engrossing narrative.

Ginsburg’s 1970 landmark first case, which concerns inconsistencies in caregiver tax deduction, may prove her as a lawyer, but also sets a powerful precedent for further challenging gender discrimination and ensuring equal treatment for American women.

Ginsburg’s intellect and passion for justice shine brightly through a dignified, bold performance from Jones, but she faces constant mockery, underestimation and open misogyny within her male-dominated field, and even from friends and allies.

With the personal and universal stakes of this case clearly-established, these obstacles render the film intensely suspenseful.

On The Basis Of Sex has steady camerawork (which is becoming a rarity these days), subtle lighting and rich, authentic atmosphere.

The film also features a gratifying subplot between Ginsburg and her headstrong daughter Jane (Caitlin Spaney) as they both teach each other new perspectives on activism and justice.

The intro, slowly revealing Ginsburg amid a sea of men entering Harvard and the bravado song 10,000 Men of Harvard, succinctly and wordlessly establishes her pride, dedication to come and the masculine culture she will confront.

On The Basis Of Sex is a personal journey with an epic, historic scope, and a film of staggering tension and artistic focus.

SHOP LOCAL MONBULK

Shop to support caring Most people from the area are aware of the work that Monbulk Care Network (MCN) does to support its community.

It is only able to do this with the assistance of the wonderful volunteers who give their time to help in the MCN Op Shop.

"We provide good quality recycled goods of all types as well as locally made preserves and locally grown produce," Bev Beazley.

"As we are all volunteers, we do not have set holidays and of course this means that at times due to absences for various reasons we are often short-staffed.

"If you enjoy helping people and have time to spare, please call in and talk about how you can assist us."

Profits from the shop enable an important part of MCN's work, which is to provide assistance for clients who are experiencing financial stress.

"We can help with non-perishable food as well as fresh vegetables and fruit and frozen meals," Bev said.

"We also financially support all nine schools in our area as well as local community groups, and are part of the emergency response program."

The MCN Laneway Nursery is a popular part of the shop, stocking a wide range of plants including fruit and ornamental trees.

Experienced nursery volunteers are happy to assist shoppers.

Monbulk Care Network is open 10am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 1pm Saturday.

The MCN Op Shop funds important community work.

At your leisure Cardinia Shire Council is seeking community feedback on the design options for the Gembrook Leisure Park play space until 5pm, Sunday 24 February.

In March 2018, Cardinia Shire Council began an extensive community consultation process to find out what the community wanted to see at the park as part of the Gembrook Leisure Park Masterplan.

As part of developing the masterplan, Council is now working with the community to develop designs for the new play space.

The design options for the play space include a refurbishment of the existing train, an accessible and imaginative play are, a flying fox and trampolines and other play features.

The community can vote on their preferred play space design option by going to www.cardinia.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay Council is also working with the community to finalise the design of the skate park upgrade, and is expected to adopt the Masterplan for the whole park in coming months.

Motoring on Sam, Ava and Danielle utilising the services offered at Belgrave Hub.

Finding a voice Hundreds of Yarra Ranges families are benefiting from a range of allied health and emergency support services including occupational therapy (OT), at the Belgrave Community Hub. Inspiro Community Health provides speech therapy and OT for children at the hub to help them prepare for school, develop fine and gross motor skills, learn self-care and self-regulation and improve their attention abilities.

Danielle Pearce's twin daughters Sam and Ava, both 4, were referred to an Inspiro Speech Therapist and Occupational Therapist by Council's Maternal and Child Health Nurse.

"Sam has been receiving help with her speech development and for her personal growth," Ms Pearce said.

"The Maternal and Child Health Nurse referred us to the new Belgrave Community Hub and also to Inspiro at Lilydale.

"We went to the nurse for their three and

a half year old check, where it was suggested that Sam would really benefit from having more help with her speech and development.

"Some of the other benefits is the location and accessibility the hub offers - the car parking is great.

"It's affordable. We are able to come to speech pathology weekly or fortnightly, as much as what we need and we don't have to worry about the cost."

Ms Pearce of Menzies Creek said her daughter Sam was really benefiting from just a few months of seeing an Inspiro Speech Therapist.

"They love going to speech therapy because there are lots of games ... everything is just here for them," she said.

Inspiro Speech Pathologist Bronwyn Bail said the aim of the speech therapy services provided at the hub was to get children school-ready.

"By the time they are ready to go to school

we want them to have caught up to the rest of their age group, so that includes speaking clearly, which tends to help their literacy development as well," Ms Bail said.

Inspiro Paediatric Occupational Therapist Lauren Whiting said her services supported children of preschool age with their fine motor skills such as hand writing, and gross motor skills like running, jumping and catching a ball.

"We also assist with them learning self-care like dressing and toileting, and with their ability to pay attention and regulate their emotions," Ms Whiting said.

Belgrave Community Hub is managed by Inspiro Community Health and offers range of health services. The hub is open from 8.45am 4.45pm Monday to Friday.

One of the most highly-anticipated All American car displays on the show calendar will soon return to the Gembrook Recreation Reserve.

Now in its 26th year, the 'All American Car Display & Man Cave Alley' has long been regarded as a real 'can't miss' local event.

This year, there will be room to display up to 900 hot rods; custom cars; and classic, vintage, and veteran cars and trucks.

This year, as a sign of the booming popularity of modern American vehicles, the event will also welcome show condition, late-model American vehicles for display.

The 'All American Car Display & Man Cave Alley' is a major annual fundraiser for the Rotary Club of Emerald and District and is held in conjunction with the Thunderbirds Rod & Custom Club. All money raised through the event will be directed to a range of local and international Rotary projects.

Those heading to the event on motorbike through the hills will have a dedicated parking area once they arrive.

This year, the event will be held on Sunday, 17 February. The 'Man Cave Alley' theme will also include a range of market stalls selling and displaying a variety of items for a bloke's beloved 'man cave'.

For more information on the event, or the Rotary Club of Emerald and District, visit www. emeraldrotary.org.au/page/all-american.

Sense of duty reflected

By Casey Neill For Inspector Bob Raaymakers, the 10th anniversary of the Black Saturday Bushfires has sparked reflection.

“You do reflect on what you did and where were you at certain times and also, I suppose historically, being involved in something so significant is quite overwhelming at times,” he said.

The Tecoma local was the sector commander looking after the Yarra Valley area in 2009.

In 2011 he received an Australian Police Medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List for his efforts.

His Saturday 7 February started about 5.30am, touching base with colleagues and other agencies.

“We knew it was going to be a bad day and we knew it would really test our resolve and our arrangements,” Insp Raaymakers said.

“As the day went on, we knew if something did happen it would be significant and unstoppable.”

He saturated the Yarra Glen area with police as the fires encroached to “provide some community reassurance” and manage traffic.

“We were also managing people trying to self-evacuate or get back to their properties,” he said.

“I was also mindful of where police members were from the point of view of their own safety.”

Insp Raaymakers said the calls for assistance police received that day were hard to cope with. mailcommunity.com.au

“The real thing that really pulled on my heartstrings was there were areas where we just couldn’t send fire services or ambos or police members into because it was just too dangerous,” he said.

“We still had people in the emergency services putting themselves in harm’s way to protect the community, to save them.”

In the immediate aftermath, officers helped to identify victims and provided the community with reassurance and advice.

“I remember going to a number of community meetings at Healesville, Yarra Junction and Warburton. We had fires going for weeks afterwards,” Insp Raaymakers said.

“In times like that you really have an overwhelming sense of duty, a sense of purpose, and you must keep focused on what your roles and responsivities are.

“You push aside your own needs.”

He remained involved in community meetings as survivors started to clean up and rebuild.

Insp Raaymakers is now the regional emergency management inspector, based at Knox.

“A lot of my day to day activities are around preparation for emergencies in the area,” he said.

“I’ve thrown myself back into the fire quite literally.

“There’s a real strong focus on the part of the police that work in the area to prevent this sort of thing from happening again.

“There’s a resolve.”

Growing up in a country town in North East Victoria, a young boy became fascinated with airplanes.

The local orchardist had an airfield, where the sounds of small aircraft made the boy wonder how loud the noise would be inside the cockpit.

The young boy was Bob Boyd and his dream to become a pilot was realised by the time he reached the age of 25.

In brief, to qualify for solo flight level status is competence based, as per CASA regulations; an RPL (Recreational Pilots Licence) comprises a minimum of 25 hours, to which Navigation, Controlled Airport, and Controlled Airspace credits can be added; a PPL (Private Pilots Licence) requires a minimum of 40 hours of flying; and a CPL (Commercial Pilots Licence) includes a minimum of 200 hours of flying. A Flight Instructor course comprises a minimum of 50 hours of flight.

“This region offers unprecedented beauty for aviators, ranging from lush valleys, to majestic mountains, lakes, rivers, scenic villages, the city of Melbourne on the Yarra River, and the picture-perfect bay areas,” says Bob. “Nothing compares to a smooth flight with glorious vistas.”

Quietly giving his time, resources and the use of his aircraft, Bob Boyd, Managing Director and Chief Flying Instructor of Yarra Valley Flight Training at Coldstream Airport, has been flying Angel Flights to assist families who need to travel to Melbourne for medical tests and treatment since 2011.

FULL STEAM AHEAD

Going behind the steam On Sunday 17 February, Puffing Billy is giving people an opportunity to find out more about volunteering at the Railway, taking them 'behind the steam' at the iconic Victorian tourist attraction.

Taking place at the Menzies Creek Museum precinct, the event will give prospective volunteers a behind the scenes preview of what it is like to volunteer at Puffing Billy. Current volunteers will be on hand to talk with people and answer questions, discuss the many different volunteer roles available at the railway, and take guests on an exclusive tour of the Menzies Creek Museum, which is not yet open to the public.

At the 2018 event, Menzies Creek resident Amanda Pinkster ventured beyond the platform and will soon celebrate 12 months of volunteering in the railway's booking office.

"After retiring from my paid working life in 2016, I decided that it was probably time to put some energy back into the local community via volunteering," Amanda said.

"Ideally I was looking for a fun, happy environment where I could volunteer, and Puffing Billy seemed like the perfect place. The Behind the Steam event was a great way for me to get an understanding of the railway's operations and the volunteer roles available. I could also get a feel for the culture of the organisation and whether it would be a fit for me.

"I was able to speak with many of the existing volunteers, see different areas of the Railway in action, speak with Puffing Billy management representatives and also have a good look around the museum. At the end of the day I was very keen to join, so I officially registered my interest.

"I wasn't completely sure of the role I wanted to volunteer in, but the volunteer services team was fantastic in helping me work through

Puffing Billy's ''Behind the Steam'' event gives prospective volunteers a behind the scenes preview of what it is like to volunteer at Puffing Billy. this. That is how I ended up in the booking office team, commencing in May 2018."

"I thoroughly enjoy working in the booking office. It is such a happy environment. I love seeing the delight on our visitors' faces as they arrive at the railway and sharing local information with them. As a Hills resident for

over 20 years, I know how integral Puffing Billy is to our region. I love being part of the positive team that promotes tourism and our local experiences."

"I have no hesitation in encouraging others to come along and find out what goes on here. All volunteers are well supported by the

Volunteer Services Team and thorough training is offered in all areas to ensure that you are confident in delivering your duties," she said.

A UNIQUE PRIVATE ESTATE WITHIN A HISTORIC BOTANICAL WONDERLAND

THIS is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change your lifestyle and live in your own private 100-year-old botanical oasis, the agent says.

This unique estate among seasonal gardens is being offered to market for only the second time in 55 years.

Remote controlled gates lead down meandering stone paths, revealing rhododendrons and azaleas, stone walls, bright pockets of flowers and vast green lawns.

"You never know quite what you'll stumble on next - and that's part of its allure," the agent says.

The estate was originally known as the Georgian Guesthouse, complete with tennis court, croquet lawn, lily pond, and waterfall on the south lawn.

The estate is nestled in a quiet location opposite the National Rhododendron Gardens and includes two residences, outbuildings, ample shedding and a separate wine cellar.

Bathed in natural light, the main residence is nestled into the gardens and has been designed to blend into its surroundings.

The current owners have meticulously reconstructed the original home over the past two years, the agent says, with the architectural brief being to deliver large open plan elegance, maximise views from all rooms and create a warm, relaxed mountain lifestyle.

The main lounge has double height ceilings, a copper fireplace and large double glazed windows offering views of the south lawn.

This leads into the kitchen with walk-in pantry, large dual fuel range and custom cabinetry including an antique central island/work station.

Bi-fold windows and sliding doors in the kitchen and family room are designed to create seamless indoor-outdoor living and provide access to the expansive north-facing deck along with a large remote-controlled pool/spa.

Three luxury bedrooms, including the main with expansive wardrobes and ensuite with cast iron claw foot tub, are saturated in sunlight.

Ample parking is provided by a double garage with direct access into the home.

The second residence is ideal for the in-laws or guest accommodation, the agent says, and has also been carefully reconstructed.

Formerly the original stables, this dwelling has been transformed into open plan living with wood fire, elegant bedrooms with garden views, and the practicality of large window panels, heating in every room, and double carport.

This unique estate is an opportunity to leave the city 45 minutes behind and reconnect with the natural beauty and wildlife the Dandenong Ranges has to offer, the agent says. · Five-acre private estate consisting of flat north-facing 100-year-old gardens · Luxury, light-filled main residence with artistic modern rustic style · Fully double-glazed and hydronically heated · Formal lounge with expansive customdesigned copper open wood fireplace

· Hardwood floors · Security alarm system · Kitchen with walk-in pantry and bi-fold windows · Outdoor entertaining area with separate pool house/office and in-ground remotecontrolled spa pool · Fully renovated, stylish second dwelling with open plan living · Expansive shedding and wood storage · Secondary entrance to the property via another set of iron gates ●

Hawks washaway - games called at 10am, one starter

By Tom Watson The day dawned cloudy and overcast and by 10am was raining enough for Monbulk Cricket Club games across the ones, thirds and fourths to be washed out for one-dayers next week.

In the seniors, only the twos managed to get a game started, against St Johns/Tecoma away.

Joel Wensley and Josh Spencer struck early to have the Saints 2/16.

A few partnerships followed before Tam Noonan showed everyone why training is for suckers by snagging two quick wickets.

Young TJ Utting spun webs and dropped fizz snaring career-best twos figures of 2/26.

A short partnership followed with plenty of eyes closed swinging and genuinely weird stroke play, before the opening pair of Wensley (4/36) and Spencer (2/47) mopped up the tail.

After seven overs, Monbulk finished at 1/12

with Aaron Gillard and Tom Badgery set to go on next week.

The under-13s travelled to Eildon Park and had a tough loss, going down 8/72 to 5/91.

Tim Rickard top scored with 19, while he was very well supported by Gus Ryan who made 15*.

The under-12s had a top win against Upper Ferntree Gully, making 3/118 in reply to their 4/95.

The Fast 9s had a big win against South Belgrave.

Ethan Knight scored 12* while Kit Sutton hit six fours on the way to 30* and man of the match.

The Super 7s 9/123 lost to Lysterfield 7/130.

Fergus Hourigan had his highest score of the season with 12, earning him man of the match honours. Bailey Trinick bowled well to take 2/6 in season-best figures.

Bowlers win away On Saturday, Monbulk Bowls Club’s number one side travelled to Croydon in a vital game, with Monbulk occupying third place on the ladder and Croydon in second place.

After some indecision from Croydon as to which green the game would be played on, they finally chose grass.

This did not unsettle Monbulk, who started well on three of the four rinks.

Brian Smith’s rink bowled well throughout the day and at one stage led by 19 shots and ended up winning by 14 shots, 28 to 14.

Richard Cookson’s had a close tussle up to the 15th end where only one shot separated the rinks.

However, they lost the last six ends and lost by 13 shots, 12 to 25.

Eric Markham’s rink had a poor start and after five ends found themselves 10 shots behind.

However, they rallied and at the tea break six ends later had hit the front by one shot.

They continued to bowl well, but dropped a four on the second last end to go down by two shots, 19 to 21.

Andrew Bell’s rink established a 14-shot lead by the 16th end, but dropped nine shots over the next three ends to be five shots in front with two ends to play.

There were some tense moments but Bell’s team got the job done, winning the last two ends and taking the rink by seven shots, 25 to 18.

This meant that Monbulk won by six shots overall, 84 to 78, and this put them hot on the heels of second-placed Croydon.

Monbulk 2 was third on the ladder heading into its match against Pakenham, placed seventh.

Eric Furby’s rink jumped out to a 16-shot lead by the eighth end, but the opposition lifted their game and his rink eventually won by seven shots, 23 to 16.

Peter Francis’ rink had a close battle for most of the game but was able to get away towards the end, winning 20 to 15.

Graeme Goller’s won 15 of the 21 ends and had a convincing win by 21 shots, 31 to 10.

The stars of the day were Case Broehof’s rink who were one shot down after four ends, but powered away to win by 23 shots, 37 to 14.

This gave the side a massive win by 66 shots, 111 to 55, and has put Monbulk into second place on the ladder.

Monbulk 3 was second on the ladder heading into its away match against fourth-placed Vermont South.

Peter Hiscox’s team started strongly, building up an eight-shot lead by the eighth end.

Then the momentum swung in Vermont’s favour and they just managed to hang on to draw, 19 shots all.

Allan Brooke’s team was behind for most of the day.

It then picked up a five on the 18th end to hit the front.

Vermont South levelled on the next end and then Monbulk grabbed two shots, going into the last end with the two-shot lead.

In spite of all of Monbulk’s efforts, the side lost three shots on the last end to go down by just one shot, 23 shots to 22.

So overall, Monbulk lost by just one shot, 41 to 42, and maintains second place.

On Tuesday was the top-of-the-table clash between Monbulk 1 and Warburton at Warburton.

Richard Cookson’s team was up 11 shots to nil on the fifth end and at that stage it looked like it was going to be a whitewash.

They were still ahead by the halfway mark but after that won only four ends for the rest of the match, losing the rink by eight shots, 17 to 25.

Eric Markham’s team had a close struggle all day.

At the halfway mark, Warburton got out to a five-shot lead.

Then the very next end, Monbulk picked up a five to level the score.

The lead then see-sawed a few times.

Warburton grabbed a couple of lucky conversions and was able to hang on to win by two shots, 17 to 19.

Andrew Bell’s team led all day and got out to a nine-shot lead by the eighth end.

Then Warburton won the mat and was able to reduce the margin to four shots.

However, the side rallied and won by six shots, 19 to 13.

Overall Monbulk lost 53 shots to 57, but is still a game clear in top spot on the ladder.

Third-placed Monbulk 2 played at home against Heatherdale, in seventh place.

Graeme Goller’s team struggled, only picking up six ends for the day and dropping a few multiples.

They won a couple of multiples on the 13th and 14th ends to get within two shots, but that was as close as they got.

Heatherdale won the next six ends and ran away with the game by 12 shots, 25 to 13.

Eric Furby had the close one, with the scores being level four times during the match, including the second-last end, which put immense pressure on that final end.

They were then able to pick up a single shot and that was enough to win the game 19 shots to 18.

Peter Francis’ team was in front all day.

They led by 10 shots at the halfway mark and just blew it out further in the back half, and topped it off with an emphatic five on the last end, finishing with a 31 shots to 13 win.

Overall, Monbulk won 63 shots to 56, enabling the team to maintain third place on the ladder.

Monbulk 3 was in second place on the ladder when it played away to last-placed Vermont South.

Barry Adshead’s team, with Craig Ward leading, Greg Meyers second and John Prudon third, started slowly and was one shot to four down on the fourth end.

They levelled on the fifth end and then it was “close the gates” because they won all but three of the next 16 ends, including a huge seven on the 13th end and a four on the last end.

They finished with a massive win, 36 shots to 10.

Mike Harris’ team led all day, giving up only seven ends for the game and won by 11 shots, 23 to 12. Don Barnetson’s team also dropped only seven ends for the day and was well in front by the halfway mark.

There was a bit of a scare on the 14th when they dropped a five, but the team regrouped and went on to a good win, 28 shots to 14.

Overall Monbulk won by 51 shots, 87 to 36, and this maintained their second position on the ladder.

Race for the finals hits a dampener

By Chris Anderson

was the patient support act. The pair pushed the total beyond 100 and extended the innings.

But they fell in quick succession, sparking a devastating collapse as Kevin Bomford (3/16) and Caleb Hrabe (2/16) cut a swathe.

A spell of five wickets for 12 runs quickly reduced the innings to a poorly 8/113.

Chad Witherdin (33 not out) stepped up to stem the carnage with some late partnerships, the score 9/141 at stumps.

By Richard Millott Scattered showers in Melbourne's east ensured scattered levels of play in the district as the season's penultimate round started.

Ferntree Gully's hopes of remaining in Norm Reeves Shield next season were boosted with a strong showing against Knoxfield.

The Blues sent the Knights in to bat first and were rewarded with quick breakthroughs.

Tom Boxell hit 46 to lead the charge, with Jack Taylor adding 41 to the total of 156.

The Blues' bowling attack performed well, with honours shared between Brad Reeve (3/19) Ryan Evans (3/35) and Ben Swift (3/54).

Ferntree Gully will start at 0/6 next week.

Josh Dowling provided Eildon Park with a quality 110 as the Panthers looked to enforce themselves on finals against fellow aspirants Johnson Park.

The Panthers reached 9/265 across the day, with Dowling supported by Jake Pollard (53) and David Smyth (43).

For the Sharks, Mitch Ley claimed 4/65 while Ben Stallworthy supported the effort with 3/67.

Despite getting a start to the match, Knox Gardens were only able to face 53 overs in their match against Upper Ferntree Gully.

The Falcons reached 3/152 with Joe Morsello unbeaten on 42, and Pete Dunlop earlier scored 34 to set the foundations of the batting effort.

Upwey will need to wait another week for their high-stakes matchup with Ferntree Gully Footballers, with play abandoned for the day due to the weather. Scores for Belgrave's match against The Basin were unknown at time of print.

In Decoite Shield, Mountain Gate bounced back against Knox Gardens, with the Gators returning to form and dismissing their visitors for 91.

Skipper Luke Turner claimed 3/36 but it was John Rozakis who stole the show with the ball, leading the best figures with 3/9.

In reply, the Gators will start at 1/8 next week.

Olinda's chance to make finals remains alive after a strong showing against ladderleaders Lysterfield.

The Swans were rampant with the ball, with Taf Kamungozi claiming 4/39 from 19 overs, while Hunter Greenall was on the hunt for wickets, eventually claiming 3/14 from 12.3 overs to dismiss the Beavers for 127.

The Swans will need victory in this match and their Round 12 fixture - as well as results to go their way in other matches - to stand a chance of making a maiden finals appearance since their return to the FTGDCA. Meanwhile, the weather thwarted efforts to start Monbulk's match against St Johns Tecoma.

Likewise, it is understood the same fate denied a start at the South Belgrave and Rowville match.

The two matches will return next week to play a one-day match.

Morning rains put a dampener on proceeding for cricketers across the Yarra Valley last weekend, with many games delayed, interrupted or abandoned without a ball being bowled.

In the Yarra Valley Cricket Association’s DJ Strachan Shield, for the games that got a start it was the bowlers who took the honours on day one. Mount Evelyn lowered their colours for the first time for the season last round so were

keen to atone against a Yarra Junction team that has struggled for consistency.

Mount Evelyn won the toss and chose to bat first. O’Donnell fell early and, despite a short resurgence, Jesse Fraser and Andrew Giblin quickly followed him to the sheds.

The Mounters were 3/22. Daniel Fraser joined captain Kane Jones at the wicket for a well-measured partnership.

Jones scored a run-a-ball 60 while Fraser
