Ride of their life

By Casey Neill "Most people want to help other people but don't know where to start."

So Upwey and Ferntree Gully-based Foothills Community Care is making it easy, CEO Stephen Barrington told the Mail.

It's all about the basics.

"Each winter we have a special winter appeal going on when we generally collect socks and underwear, particularly for people who are dong life a bit tough - for homeless people, for single parents, for people in our domestic violence program," he said.

"When people are financially not going so well, when they're spending most of their money on rent and food and bills, they have

very little money to spend on the basics.

"It really came to a head a couple of years ago."

The charity received a donation of socks and distributed them to people in need.

Mr Barrington remembers feeling shocked as some removed boots riddled with holes to reveal no socks beneath.

"The absolute delight on their faces when we gave them the socks ... " he said.

"It makes such a difference."

The Upwey-Belgrave RSL did its bit to help Foothills on Sunday 19 May. Motorcycle riders met at the sub-branch and set off on a scenic ride around the Dandenongs for a $10 donation.

"It's the first time we've done it with the

RSL. They've been a great partner with us," Mr Barrington said.

"They've helped us out for two years now with our winter appeals.

"Last year they came and they collected beanies and blankets and goodies for us and brought it down when we had our big winter celebration night.

"This was a bit of an extension on that.

"Myself and the other organiser, Roger, we're both involved in motorbike riding and have both been involved with charity rides quite a bit in the past.

"We thought it was a natural fit to involve the local motorbike community."

Riders returned to the RSL after the ride.

"We had some bands playing, we had a bit

of a chat about what we do and particularly our winter appeals, we had a raffle going on," Mr Barrington said.

"We had some people who brought down some great donations on the day.

"We're really grateful for the support of the wider community and we find that when people have a way of helping others, they want to help.

Foothills Community Care offers more than 9000 free meals a year to those in need, and other tangible support.

It will host a fund-raising dinner at its Upwey base on Thursday 6 June for $30 a head.

The Ferntree Gully Community Bank is accepting donations of socks and underwear.

WE KNOW A TOOL

Wear orange, take a selfie and post with the hashtag 'thankyouses'.

These few simple steps mean the world to SES volunteers like the Emerald unit's Penny Edwards.

She spoke to the Mail ahead of Wear Orange Wednesday, or WOW Day, on 22 May. The campaign is designed to thank the SES members, who volunteer their time to help their communities when they need them most.

Ms Edwards joined about 10 years ago when she moved to Emerald from the western suburbs.

"I thought that would be a great way to meet people who lived in the area and make some friends," she said.

"It's a great way to support the community and I think everyone that's part of our particular unit really feels a great sense of community up in Emerald.

"It's one way they can support others during times of emergency.

"I think we're all from fairly common ground in that regard. It gives you extra family, extended family."

She chose the SES over other service organisations for the variety.

"We do so many things, we're trained in so many things," she said.

"We not only chop up trees from across roads and people's driveways, but we can also help when trees come onto people's houses.

"We also help police and other service in search and rescue, we do animal rescue ...

"No day or job is ever the same."

Ms Edwards said her most memorable turnout was to a fatal car crash - her first road accident.

"It was a good coming together of all the services - SES, CFA and police," she said.

IN BRIEF

Call for housing

By Derek Schlennstedt The Eastern Affordable Housing Alliance (EAHA) is calling upon the next federal government to address the housing crisis as one of its first priorities.

EAHA said the federal election campaign had been heavily focused on issues like taxation, health and education, but put little emphasis on the housing crisis.

EAHA is a collaboration between the cities of Knox, Manningham, Maroondah, Monash, Whitehorse and Yarra Ranges.

The alliance aims to ensure that the most disadvantaged people in the eastern metropolitan region can access safe, secure, affordable housing, with a view to better health outcomes and higher quality of life for all.

EAHA chairman and Knox Councillor Peter Lockwood said outer metropolitan councils were experiencing a rise in the number of people sleeping rough or seeking other forms

of emergency accommodation.

“Access to a roof over your head is a fundamental human right and yet governments seem willing to leave people stuck in housing limbo,” he said.

“At a bare minimum, we need a dedicated Federal Housing Minister as well as the development of a Federal Housing Strategy in consultation with the States and Territories.

"The strategy should identify and commit to minimum national targets for the supply of social housing.

“Additionally, we need to change current tax policy settings that adversely impact the supply of affordable housing, and commit to providing additional funding for social housing.”

Cr Lockwood referred to a Christina from Croydon, whose reality of the housing crisis meant renting a rundown and dilapidated house with little in the way of heating, and

only one tap with running water.

He said Christina had worked hard all her life, contributing to society through her work as a carer.

Now, he said, she contributes about $150 a week in rent, with ongoing health issues making it near-impossible to find more suitable rental accommodation.

“Christina’s story is all too familiar to many people, including in Knox and the outer eastern metropolitan region, where demand for social and affordable housing far outstrips supply,” Cr Lockwood said.

“People like Christina have contributed so much over the course of their working life - isn’t it time we gave a little back by helping her and many others to have a safe and secure place to call home?”

The round-up Slow down this winter Mount Evelyn police are urging drivers to adjust their driving for the winter weather ahead.

Sergeant Craig Keithley said drivers needed to pay more attention on the roads coming into the winter months.

"The roads are slippery and visibility isn't as good as it is the rest of the year," he said.

"We're heading into months of dark days and rain and sleet."

He hopes his warning could help drivers to avoid collisions.

"Driver behaviour needs to change to suit the conditions," Sgt Keithley said.

"As we go from dryer periods of the year into wetter periods of the year, people keep driving the same way.

"We then get a number of collisions that were probably avoidable."

He said some of these drivers were driving under or at the speed limit, but this might be too fast for the conditions.

"It's about being logical and careful about how you drive and slowing down," he said.

"It's safer for people to be driving slower than at the speed limit in certain circumstances."

Graffiti arrest Emerald police arrested a 14-year-old Emerald boy over a graffiti spree at the under-construction Hills Hub. Senior Constable Miles Gerrey said the vandalism had been taking place over a period of time at the community space on the corner of Belgrave-Gembrook Road.

He said officers made one arrest in the early hours of Sunday 19 May. Sen Const Gerrey said police would charge the boy with wilful damage and trespassing.

He warned other youths to stay away from the premises amid safety concerns due to the construction work taking place.

Witness appeal after four-car crash

Knox City Council’s metro access officer Peter Johnston, local resident Leanne Watson and Knox Mayor Jake Keogh.

Wally’s change for the better helps out Wally Tew Reserve in Ferntree Gully is home to Knox's first Changing Places toilet facility, purpose-built to support people with severe and profound disabilities.

Changing Places are toilets with full-sized, height-adjustable change tables and hoists, with design requirements that go beyond those for standard accessible toilets.

Completed in early May, the Changing Places toilet at Wally Tew Reserve will support the inclusion of community members with severe disabilities who wish to participate in events and activities at the reserve and surrounding

recreation precinct, including the Ferntree Gully Library, the Ferntree Gully Community Arts Centre, sporting reserves and the nearby accessible playground.

"Wally Tew Reserve was chosen as the site for the first Changing Places toilet, given it is the location of two of our city's major festivals - Carols by Candlelight and the Knox Festival as well as a busy sporting, entertainment and cultural space for the Knox community," Mayor Jake Keogh said.

"Installing this facility is an important step towards ensuring that our public spaces are

as inclusive as possible for all members of our community."

There are plans to establish more Changing Places toilets in Knox in the future.

The State Government funded $100,000 of the project with Knox City Council paying the $80,000 balance.

The Changing Places initiative started in the UK in 2006 and was introduced in Australia in 2012. There are 89 facilities at major public spaces across Australia, including the MCG, Melbourne Zoo and Hamer Hall.

A Millgrove woman was taken to hospital by air ambulance following a four-vehicle crash in Boronia.

Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision, which occurred on Liverpool Road at Dobson Lane about 6.35pm on Monday 13 May. A white Holden Rodeo tray utility carrying firewood travelling south collided with a blue Holden sedan and a purple Holden utility travelling in the opposite direction.

Police said a grey Mercedes sedan subsequently collided with the blue Holden sedan.

The Millgrove woman, 30, was taken to hospital by air ambulance and two other drivers were taken to hospital in road ambulances.

The driver of the grey Mercedes left the scene but police later identified them.

The road was closed for several hours while Major Collision Investigation Unit members processed the scene.

Police are seeking anyone who witnessed the collision or saw the white Holden tray utility travelling on Liverpool Road prior to the collision.

Anyone who saw the Mercedes leaving the scene should also come forward.

Call Leading Senior Constable Huybens at Knox Highway Patrol on 9881 7900 or Crime Stoppers on 1300 333 000.

Anderson’s Monbulk move In 1919, JE 'Ted' Anderson moved to Monbulk and by 1923 had acquired a small saw-bench producing timber for boxes for the local berry growers.

In 1926 he purchased his first truck, 1930 he installed a petrol bowser and in 1932 built a garage on the main road, a timber yard, office and hardware shop.

Two more bowsers were installed, a different petrol company's name appearing on each.

After the 1939 bushfires, Ted salvaged the large Mountain Ash trees which had been burnt in the Cumberland Valley.

Anderson's timber milling business became one of the biggest employers in the area and during World War II, employing 30 men.

By 1946 a joinery shop was added and in

Monbulk Historical Society president 1952 Ted's house was moved to make way for the new garage on the corner of Main and Silvan roads.

The Anderson family continued to operate a hardware shop, timber mill, produce store, a garage with a Holden agency on the site with a

used car lot across the road.

Timber from the mill was sold to a couple of Melbourne wholesalers and to local builders.

By 1953 there were three bowsers, eight trucks and up to 33 employees.

Of Ted's three sons, Ned was in charge of the mill, Frank the bush crew, and Jack the hardware and produce stores.

Frank later took over the garage after Ned died in 1954.

The 1950s saw the Anderson brothers buying mills at Cockatoo and at Silvan.

This gave them the log licence to get timber from Beenak Forest.

In 1956, Albert Crerar built a sawdust burner behind the mill.

The business was split between the families

and in 1979 Frank's family moved the hardware to the garage site on the corner and was run by Frank's son Alan.

During the early 1980s the hardware joined the Mitre 10 Group.

Jack's family moved the produce store to the old hardware site and Jack's son Bruce and his nephew Graeme Rankin ran the produce store and timber mill.

As time went by, logging timber became more distant, which led to the closure of Anderson's Monbulk mill in 1992.

At the same time the produce store was sold to Eddie Anderson, youngest son of Frank, and was operated with the hardware store.

In 2000 the Monbulk Mitre 10 Hardware, Anderson's Hardware and Produce Store, was sold to Paul Murphy and continues to operate.

No MP change seen here

By Casey Neill The status quo stands in the Yarra Ranges following the Saturday 18 May Federal Election.

Liberal Casey MP Tony Smith was returned with just over 54 per cent of the two candidate preferred vote, ahead of Labor hopeful Bill Brindle, with counting continuing.

This was 0.4 per cent down on his win last year.

"I am humbled to be returned as the Federal Member for Casey," Mr Smith told the Mail.

"I would like to thank our local community for their support at this election and the confidence they have shown in me over many years.

"During the campaign I outlined a comprehensive plan to make our community safer and stronger.

"I look forward to working with our local community to deliver on the commitments I have made."

Bill Brindle said on his Facebook page on Friday 17 May that he'd knocked on 9000 doors and made 10,000 calls since he started his campaign for Casey.

"To locals in our area, thank you for opening up your homes to our campaign, for the stories you've told us about your lives, for listening to our visions for Casey and our future," he said.

"Regardless of the outcome tomorrow, I am so humbled and proud to have been your Labor candidate for your community."

Greens candidate Jenny Game-Lopata received the third highest number of votes, with 10.82 per cent of first preferences, but this was down 2.02 per cent from the last election.

Over in La Trobe, Labor candidate Simon Curtis conceded defeat to Liberal incumbent Jason Wood early on Sunday morning.

"This morning, I contacted Jason Wood to congratulate him on his positive result in the

election," Mr Curtis said on his Facebook page.

"Whilst there are still more than a quarter of votes to count, it has become increasingly unlikely that those votes could bridge this gap.

"Regardless of the outcome, I will always be an active and reliable contributor to our local community."

Mr Wood wished Mr Curtis and his family all the best for the future.

"On behalf of my wife Judy and daughter Jasmine, it is with great pride and honour to continue to be your voice in Parliament, and to deliver all of my election commitments from scout hall upgrades (one of my favourites) to sporting clubs and major road projects as we have successfully formed government," wrote on his Facebook page.

Mr Wood received a 54.09 per cent of the two candidate preferred vote, with some votes still to be counted.

This was up 0.87 per cent from the previous

election.

Greens candidate Amy Gregorovich received the third highest votes, with 7.52 per cent of the primary vote, followed closely by Pauline Hanson's One Nation hopeful Esther Baker, with 4.68 per cent.

In Aston, Liberal incumbent Alan Tudge said he was very honoured to be re-elected.

"Thank you for putting your trust in me again," he wrote on his Facebook page on Sunday.

"We have an incredible community in Knox and I'm proud to be your representative.

"Tomorrow, it's back to work to deliver on our plans."

Mr Tudge received 57.41 per cent of the two candidate preferred vote ahead of ALP candidate Kadira Pethiyagoda, with some votes still to be counted.

This was a 2.71 per cent swing in his favour from the last election.

Preacher in Gembrook

By Mitchell Clarke The town of Gembrook has been transformed into a supernatural world with a production company taking to the town to film scenes for the upcoming season of American television series Preacher.

While their presence in the area is currently 'top secret', a large production crew and convoy of filming trailers have parked themselves next to the Puffing Billy track.

Residents on Innes Road received notice that Frontier Productions will film scenes for a masqueraded television series titled 'Klaus'.

The crew arrived in Gembrook on Tuesday 14 May and will film for three days wrapping up on Thursday 16 May.

Scenes have been filmed at 18 Innes Road and in the trees next to JAC Russell Reserve.

Pakenham Gazette contacted the producer however they were unable to provide any further details "due to the confidential nature of this project".

Preacher has been filming in locations around Melbourne for the past six months.

It's believed the crew is set to head to a secret location in North Melbourne next.

Viewers can stream Preacher on Stan.

Kinder kids given bush treatment

By Derek Schlennstedt Gembrook MP Brad Battin joined students at Gembrook Pre-School and their parents for some bush tucker on 13 April at their fortnightly bush kinder.

Gembrook Pre-School’s Wombat Group meet regularly at Gilwell Park to immerse their students in the great outdoors, spending their kinder session exploring and learning about the nature around them.

Mr Battin presented them with an Aboriginal flag and highlighted the importance of understanding the responsibility everyone has in protecting the environment for the future.

“It is wonderful to see the dedication of Mrs B and the Gembrook School Committee in recognising the importance of our children getting outside and exploring nature” he said.

“The Gembrook community are fortunate to have Gilwell Park at their doorstep.

"A special thank you to Russell Bradd, manager of Gilwell Park, for supporting the initiative and assisting with the pre-school’s bush kinder.”

The Aboriginal flag was not the only gift the students received that morning.

The Gembrook Craft Group presented the students with a handmade indigenous sign with the word Wominjeka, which means welcome in the native language of the Wurundjeri people.

Students treated their guests to baked potatoes cooked on their campfire before exploring the bushland around them.

“It was great to see the students balancing

“It’s the early interaction with nature and the environment that will ensure future generations have a deep understanding of the

environment they have inherited and the responsibility they hold in taking care of their surrounds.”

Gembrook Pre-School has been running the four-hour bush kinder session in Gilwell Park for the past five years.

Wick is lit John Wick, Chapter 3: Parabellum Starring Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry and Mark Dacascos Rated MA15+ John Wick, Chapter 3: Parabellum is another enthralling, exquisitely-produced entry in the John Wick action franchise, but it’s somewhat lacking in ideas.

Reeves maintains an aura of stolid, softspoken deadliness as John Wick, an elite excommunicated assassin hunted by every hitman in New York City, and Halle Berry joins him as Sofia, a fiercely confident old friend indebted to John.

Both actors are powerhouses in the superb action sequences, which balance their lethal skill with overwhelming odds and brutality.

The fights feature plenty of impressive long takes and even convey character development, as John uses his opponents’ skills against them.

Parabellum continues the subtle humour and intriguing world-building of its predecessors, with assassins expressing admiration for John between trying to kill him and the plot presenting new extensions of the Continental assassin community.

The narrative steadily ramps up the suspense both through the sheer number and daunting skill of John’s enemies and the cruel actions of the Adjudicator (Asia Kate Dillon), the cold, deeply charismatic villain purging anyone who has helped John.

But while the action is elegant, visceral and extremely suspenseful, it is rather derivative: Parabellum’s climax re-treads John Wick 2’s climax too closely, and Parabellum clearly rips off its motorcycle swordfight from the 2017 South Korean thriller The Villainess.

John Wick, Chapter 3: Parabellum is an engrossing, funny, highly-suspenseful action film, but the action itself is strikingly unoriginal.

Applause is ringing out for volunteers

This year's National Volunteer Week theme is 'making a world of difference' - something that Fernlea says its volunteers absolutely do.

The week this year runs from 20 to 24 May and is an annual celebration that acknowledges the generous contribution of the nation's volunteers.

To celebrate, Fernlea developed a complete suite of online training to support volunteers in all roles.

Based on a series of modules, the training has been developed in response to feedback from its volunteers, to provide greater support and to enhance the volunteer experience.

Fernlea provides support for people with a life-limiting illness through day respite services in Emerald and Berwick, as well as in-home care services in Melbourne's east and south east.

They have more than 60 volunteers who work in a variety of roles.

IN BRIEF

Sick koala, sad end A koala that lets a person get close is a koala in need of help.

That's the message from Warriors 4 Wildlife after they caught up with an unwell male koala in Upper Ferntree Gully on Monday 13 May. Rescuers had been trying to capture him for a couple of months as they knew he'd been sick.

They caught him and took him to Happy Tails Vet to see Jason, who specialised in koalas on Raymond Island.

The furry marsupial was an older male who was underweight, dehydrated, going blind and with early kidney failure.

"With that diagnosis the best thing was to not let him suffer and put him to sleep," Warriors 4 Wildlife said.

"If you ever come across a koala that allows you to get close or even to play with it, please call a wildlife shelter as there is something wrong."

The group also warned against giving water to a koala in a bottle, as it can go into their lungs and cause infection.

Place the water in a bowl so they can drink out of it.

"Many years ago koalas were relocated to the Dandenong Ranges in the late 1980s and 1990s from Churchill Island, near Phillip Island, and small breeding populations were established," Warriors 4 Wildlife said.

"Even though they are rare to find in this area there have been known sightings.

"Whilst it's exciting to know there is a small population of koalas in the Dandenong Ranges, this story is a sad one.

"If you find a wild animal in a place that seems out of place to you and the animal lets you near it, there is every chance the animal is unwell and needs help."

The group warned against touching it, picking up the animal or trying to feed it.

Conservation aid request Locals can have their say on a new conservation area in the Yarra Valley and south east Dandenong Ranges.

The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) is seeking expressions of interest to join a new Conservation Area Community Reference Group.

The reference group will support DELWP and Parks Victoria as they establish the new conservation area by helping them to understand community views and concerns.

DELWP is particularly looking for individuals who are passionate about their community and have skills in conservation, agriculture and horticulture, recreation, tourism, Aboriginal cultural values, or fire risk management and control.

The group will meet four times per year and a commitment of up to three years would be advantageous.

To find out more about this group or express interest in joining, visit www.delwp.vic. gov.au/YCACRG by 11 June.

Making new music

The koala was very unwell.

"Call a rescuer or carer immediately and report the sighting so they can help it," the group said.

Call Warriors 4 Wildlife on 0401 811 937 or Wildlife Victoria on 8400 7300.

Ranges Young Strings is rehearsing a brand new music piece written just for them.

The Dandenong Ranges Music Council (DRMC) ensemble for young string players is part of the Victorian Community Orchestras project.

The project has also connected with the Dandenong Ranges Orchestra, and has a mission to introduce community orchestras to composers.

The result is original works or arrangements of major works, encouraging a collaborative approach to bring new music to life.

The Ranges Young Strings work is called Forest Song and has three movements representing different aspects of the local forest understory, canopy and decomposition.

All the groups will perform at the Malvern Town Hall on Saturday 24 August at 4pm.

Visit www.vcoproject.org for more information and ticket sales.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

New tastes for everyone Monbulk Bowling Club is pleased to offer a fresh new menu for the change of season.

The new menu is available this week and there is something for everyone.

The feature dish for this menu highlights some tastes of winter - lamb shanks with mash and root vegetables.

The club's chef has included a specialty lamb korma curry created from a complex combination of spices and bound to warm diners up on the cooler nights.

Vegetarians are always catered for at the club and the new menu will feature the club's popular three-cheese arancini, freshly made by the chefs.

The dish is available as an entree or maincourse serving.

The club's risotto is flavoured with pumpkin, pine nut and spinach for this menu, so perfectly suited to the vegetarian diner.

Wednesday night sees the bowling club offer the community great value for money with its $15.00 parmas. These are accompanied by chips and salad and are a crowd favourite.

Customers will continue to see some of the regular favourites still available including marinated lamb rump and fish of the day. Steaks are always available and slow roasted pork belly is often served as the roast of the day.

Local artists are the feature for Friday nights at the club. There is a wide variety of talented musicians that come and perform, enhancing the ambience and entertaining the diners.

Birthdays can also be celebrated at the bowling club. Bookings for dinner can be made by calling the club on 9756 6183 and large groups are always welcome.

To stay up to date with everything happening at the Monbulk Bowling Club, find them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/monbulkbistro.

A fresh new menu and some old favourites mean there's something for everyone at Monbulk Bowling Club.

Tough weekend on turf

By Nick Creely The Bendigo Football Netball League were merciless from start to finish, handing AFL Outer East a heavy defeat in the AFL Victoria Community Championships on Saturday, 18.17 (125) to 3.8 (26).

A strong crowd came in droves to QEO in Bendigo to see the home side and the inaugural interleague side of the Outer East do battle, and from the early stages, it was obvious that the slickness of the home team would provide plenty of headaches for coach Nick Rutley.

In the early stages, despite not perhaps putting the score on the board, Bendigo were cutting the Outer East up with their handballing game, moving their way around the ground with precision before getting the ball into dangerous spots in their attacking 50.

The Outer East defence were working overtime, and after a goalless first term, were trailing by 25-points after a four-goal opening term to the home side.

Outer East coach Nick Rutley was adamant in the huddle at quarter time that they just had to work harder and change the angles to utilise the unique dimensions of the ground, similar to the home team, who changed the angles at a rate that couldn't be contained.

But, a blistering second-term completely flattened Outer East, with Bendigo slamming on six-goals to one, with co-captain Marcus Hottes the only to score a goal for the undersiege visitors that term.

With the likes of skipper Jackson Geary, Pat McKenna, Nathan Horbury and eventual bestafield Jake Thurum cutting the game apart, it was a devastating quarter that saw the Outer

East return to the sheds licking their wounds and wondering where to go next.

Despite the defence holding up well in the third term, largely through the efforts of Brandon Osborne and the impressive young Will Arthurson, they couldn't put any pressure at all on the scoreboard, with just three behinds scored for the visitors to take them to a woeful 1.7 at three quarter time, trailing by a whopping 74-points with a quarter to play.

Within seconds of the final term, the home side piled on more pain, with an easy goal setting the tone for a potential three-figure loss, and after the visitors rallied late to add two more goals, Bendigo still ran out 99-point winners after slamming on an impressive six final-term majors.

In a bitterly disappointing day for Outer East - who were missing plenty of stars through

injury and unavailability - Osborne was outstanding in defence, Hottes was a bull in the middle, while youngsters Patrick Bruzzese and Will Arthurson stood tall all day.

In the Under 18s game prior to the senior clash, Bendigo also scored a victory against a wasteful Outer East, 9.5 (59) to 6.13 (49).

The Outer East controlled proceedings for a large chunk of the clash, but crucially struggled to convert many simple chances throughout the afternoon.

Rogan Goonan was best-afield in a losing cause in what was a tremendous performance.

In the netball results, Outer East went down 55-40 to Bendigo in the senior netball clash, with Seville's Steph McNay named best on court, while an impressive Bendigo unit won 62-35 against Outer East in the Under 17 clash.

Fantastic four make it into male and female sqauds

By Steve Brown The Ferntree Gully and District Cricket Association (FTGDCA) now boasts four members of the Victorian male and female squads Cricket Victoria recently announced for season 2019'20.

Glenn Maxwell from South Belgrave, Sam Harper from Eildon Park and Mitchell Perry from Knoxfield have been joined by 16-yearold Tess Flintoff from Knox Gardens, who enters new territory becoming the first local female to make it to the big time.

Cricket Victoria flagged its interest in Flintoff, the state under-18 skipper, when it selected her in a warm-up match against a fullstrength Australian line-up in March this year at the Junction Oval.

Knoxfield's Norm Reeves Shield premiership player Mitch Perry had his rookie contract extended while Harper continues to battle for the gloves with Seb Gotch.

Maxwell will be unavailable for Victoria when on national duties and is currently training for the World Cup in England.

Best: M. Laven, A. Hughson, I. Linde, H. Kolstra, C. Bakker, J. Farmer.

Under-16 Monbulk 12.7.79 d Olinda 7.4.46 This was a tough contest.

Pressure was high and the boys worked hard to keep to team structures.

Customised caravans Halen Vans builds fully customised off-road caravans in Lilydale.

Jason Francis, after many years in the industry, joined with two partners to establish the company in 2011.

The mad Van Halen fan decided that as a tribute to his idols, the company name would have to be Halen Vans.

All Halen Vans are custom-built.

Halen Vans works with its customers to come up with a design that suits their individual needs and customers are fully involved with the build process.

From when the chassis arrives, customers go in and speak to qualified cabinet makers about their design needs and cabinetry is made to suit.

All vans are fully off-road, with choices of independent trailing arm or air bag suspension, the latter being popular due the fact that the operator can level the van from left to right and up and down with the flick of a switch.

They are fully self-sufficient with solar panels and the choice of either lead crystal or lithium batteries.

Last year, Jason and his wife Bec took their van with four of their customers' vans and did the Tanami Track, a heavily corrugated track between Alice Springs, NT, and Halls Creek, WA. The vans handled the conditions beautifully, they said, and they had the convenience of being able to use all their appliances including the air-conditioner without being plugged into power or using a generator.

The vans were equipped with solar panels and inverters to utilise the sun's energy to charge the batteries.

Halen Vans also does all servicing and repairs of all makes and models of vans.

Halen vans are equipped with solar panels and inverters.

A Halen Van can handle heavily corrugated tracks.

For anyone who needs an upgrade or has damaged their van, Halen Vans is happy to help out with a quotation or suggestions.

The company has also fitted out numerous horse floats and trucks.

Call 9738 7133 or visit Halen Vans at 42 Industrial Park Drive, Lilydale.

Each van is custom built.
