Skiing tragedy

By Jed Lanyon A man who died following a skiing accident at Mount Bogong on Thursday 29 August has been identified as Healesville resident and forest ecologist David Blair.

Police believe the 48-year-old was skiing with a group of friends before he was injured in a fall.

The group notified emergency services about 5.30pm on Thursday 29 August but he had died by the time search and rescue police, SES, and wilderness paramedics reached him at 6.30am on Friday 30 August.

Mr Meacher said that Dr Blair was handson with his work and was often measuring trees and recording the presence of bird species.

“He was hugely knowledgeable, competent and very intelligent. He was very generous with his time often leading tours on weekends,” he said.

Mr Meacher said that Dr Blair loved to play soccer with his two sons, while his wife was the Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum founder.

“He was just one of those people who was so very much involved in his community,” he said.

“Dr Blair gave his time and wisdom generously to the group in the pursuit of advancing conservation of the Leadbeater’s Possum and its forest ecosystem,” the post read.

“David’s legacy will always be the intelligent dialogue, good humour and passion he brought to the group over the past 14 years.”

Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum president Steve Meacher told the Mail: “It’s a huge loss to the Healesville community, forest community and to David’s family. We’re all still coming to terms with it at this stage.”

The politician and diplomat died on 22 August.

Vale, Tim Fischer

In August we shared a story about new Healesville Sanctuary den mates Maliki, a tropical dingo, and Dargo, an alpine dingo, forming a fast friendship.

It prompted a few readers to check on Maliki’s former buddy Dante.

“Dante isn’t living with Maliki anymore but is still very much part of the dingo family here at the sanctuary,” a spokeswoman from the sanctuary confirmed.

Yarra Ranges Councillor Mike Clarke suggested scooters could help with transport issues in the region.

He told the Tuesday 27 August meeting that he’d used the public vehicles during a visit to Paris.

“It’s something that really works,” he said.

He explained they were fitted with GPS and Wi-Fi technology to protect them from theft and vandalism.

Yarra Ranges Councillor Jim Child said Dr Jordan made an outstanding contribution to the success of the Yarra Valley as a wine region and as a defendant of its amenity and beauty from inappropriate development.

“Tony Jordan was a great champion of the Yarra Valley and I truly believe his contribution was instrumental to the success of the Upper Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges Regional Strategy Plan that still serves us today and is protected by an Act of the Victoria State Government,” he said. mailcommunity.com.au

IN BRIEF Logging protests follow threatened owl sightings

Calls for deer cull

By Jed Lanyon Eildon MP Cindy McLeish has called on Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes to release a deer management strategy to address the escalating problem.

Speaking to the Victorian Parliament, Ms McLeish said deer numbers had escalated in her electorate.

"My constituents are looking for action from the government to tackle this problem," she said.

“Deer management is one of the biggest issues in my electorate with people raising it with me all the time.

“I hear of damage to crops, vineyards and orchards.

"Other prevention strategies are expensive and extra wire fencing or electrification costs a lot."

In June, the Mail reported on the Feller family, who spent thousands of dollars on these measures to limit the damage deer grazing their land caused.

Michael and Evelyn Feller purchased their Chum Creek property in 1999 and were able to plant trees and plants that stand tall to this day.

“When we first started, I didn’t spend a cent on any protection against animals,” Mr Feller said.

“Now everything I plant has to be protected, nothing survives the deer at the moment.”

Ms McLeish said other concerns raised with her included the number of collisions with deer, which were a danger for road users at night.

Other complaints included illegal hunting, shots being fired too close to houses, spotlights being shone into houses, signs being shot and carcasses left headless on the edges of town.

“The illegal activity of some hunters is damaging to the hunters who do the right thing and there are many of those,” Ms McLeish said.

She said that the release of the deer management strategy was well behind schedule.

According to the opposition, an advisory

group was established in March last year and targeted stakeholder workshops occurred the following month, with a public consultation process last October.

The Northern Yarra Landcare Network hosted a deer information session on 22 June this year for local residents concerned about the wild deer population.

The meeting allowed a member of the police to discuss the legalities of hunting deer on private property and the Landcare groups discussed whether hiring amateur shooters or professional hunters would be the best option going forward.

Speaking in Parliament, Ms McLeish said her constituents were looking for solutions.

She commended the Dixons Creek Landcare Group for a recent initiative that brought people implementing deer management strategies in other areas together with landholders to look for solutions.

“We need a solution to the deer problem now,” she said.

Environmentalist group Forest Conservation Victoria established a blockade to prevent logging operations in Toolangi on Monday 2 September.

One member was suspended 20 metres high to a tree on a platform attached to logging machinery.

The group took to social media to declare the protest along the Murrindindi River in Toolangi, where a threatened sooty owl nesting site has been reported.

“Continued destruction of some of the world’s largest carbon stores, the mountain ash forests of Victoria, has left these ecosystems on the brink of collapse,” the post said.

“Our government is dragging its feet on turning its words into action and we’re losing time we just can’t afford.

"We will continue to stand up against these practices until we see an end to native forest logging.”

Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum president Steve Meacher said that the coup in question was closing in on a Zone 1A habitat meaning that the area was being used as animal habitat or would be in the near future.

He said the number of greater gliders and sooty owl nests sightings nearby should be plenty reason to halt logging operations in the area.

“Any one of those should spark protection, having all three is extraordinary," he said.

“This is an area that should not be subject to logging...and now a blockade has been set up to halt that logging so that information sent to DELWP (Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning) can actually be processed and acted upon.

“We would like to see the logging machinery withdrawn and for the access to the area for logging to be reviewed."

Man with a Pram at the sanctuary

By Jed Lanyon Support group Dads Group Inc celebrated Father’s Day with the Man with a Pram walk through Healesville Sanctuary on Sunday 1 September.

The not-for-profit community organisation is committed to connecting new dads with the aim of improving men’s health, preventing family violence and reducing isolation and suicide.

About 400 new dads and kids around Australia marched in unison on Father’s Day, Sunday 1 September, to raise awareness of the need for greater support for new dads.

Event organiser Aladdin Jones shared his experience with the Upper Yarra Dads Group.

“I joined Dads Group Inc earlier this year

and it just felt like a good kind of alignment,” he said.

Mr Jones has been working with men and families for nearly 20 years as a family therapist.

“I’m really passionate about supporting new dads...It’s also a way of raising awareness around the importance of engaging men in family life but also part of changing the culture around healthy masculinity,” he said.

“My hope is that an annual Father’s Day event happens here at the sanctuary...and I hope it engages dads to come here with their kids throughout the year.”

Bakers Delight partnered with Dads Group Inc and CEO David Christie said he was proud to support an organisation that played such

an important role in communities across the country.

“Providing fathers with a place they can go to find support and guidance within their local community is so important for new families and we couldn’t be happier to support,” he said.

The national program has created more than 100 dad groups across Australia, which work to provide guidance and support for young and expectant fathers.

These groups enable thousands of Australian dads to connect with their children and other local fathers, assisting those who may be feeling lonely, anxious or overwhelmed.

Police charged a Healesville woman over a theft from a tradie’s toolbox in Lilydale in June.

They arrested the 26-year-old woman in Richmond on 23 August and charged her with theft from motor car, possessing drugs, and committing an indictable offence while on bail.

She was remanded in custody.

Police arrested and charged a 42-year-old Lilydale man over the same incident on 3 July.

They allege both people took Makita and Paslode power tools from an unlocked toolbox on a ute parked at the Crown Hotel in Lilydale between 7pm and 11.50pm on 22 June.

Yarra Ranges CIU Sergeant Mark Smithwick urged tradies to mark their tools with their driver’s licence number, including batteries, to aid in their return should they ever be stolen.

Drone theft Thieves cut a hole in a roof and fished out nine drones valued at $6000.

Police said the incident occurred at the Officeworks stores on Maroondah Highway, Chirnside Park, about 4.30am on 20 August.

They cut the hole in the roof directly above where the drones were stored and used a fishing rod or similar to retrieve them.

Anyone with information about the crime or who spots the drones for sale should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Milestone of a meeting

By Tony Stevenson, Yarra Ranges Mayor On Tuesday 27 August, Yarra Ranges Council held its 500th council meeting.

Yarra Ranges Council is the modern manifestation of the former shires of Lillydale (founded 1856), Healesville (1887), Upper Yarra (1888) and Ferntree Gully (founded 1889 and amalgamated with the Shire of Sherbrooke in 1963).

Yarra Ranges Council as we know it was formed when these shires amalgamated in 1994. Democratic representation for the people of Yarra Ranges returned in 1997 with the first ordinary council meeting held on 15 April 1997.

We've had significant decisions on developments, projects and community enhancements in all the meetings since - some that have been watched by a gallery of hundreds,

It's where we can help people to navigate their way through complex planning issues, help to strike a balance between competing interests in the community, represent the views of our residents in a public forum, advocate to other levels of government about action needed to support our communities, and help to explain the work of the council to the wider community.

It's also a place where community members can talk to us directly, to ask for assistance for their cause or raise awareness of an issue.

I'm sure I can speak for every councillor who has served in our chambers when I say that the decisions we make are given due consideration; that we always seek to make

the most of community resources; and we constantly strive for the best community outcomes for now and the future.

We as councillors may not always agree on the best approach to various issues, but that's one of the benefits of our council - we all represent different viewpoints, backgrounds, upbringings and local knowledge and we always use these influences, our hearts and minds to try and get the best result for the communities.

I can confidently say that this current council is mindful of those differences, is respectful in our approach when the room may be divided and keeps the community in mind throughout.

With the example we set today and the work we do in the community, I think we're putting Yarra Ranges Council in good stead for the next 500 meetings.

Fears for tourism change

By Casey Neill The Yarra Ranges could be lumped in with other Victorian tourism regions following a State Government review, Yarra Ranges Council fears.

Councillors agreed to make a submission to the State Government review of regional tourism at their Tuesday 27 August meeting.

The review aims to find new ways to support tourism in regional Victoria, enhance private investment and create more regional jobs.

But Cr Fiona McAllister said there were rumours circulating around the review, and the investment in the work suggested it would result in change.

She said there was talk about combining

the Yarra Ranges region with the Mornington Peninsula.

"Tourism, as we well know, is such an important factor of every arm of good health in the Yarra Ranges," she said.

"Any review and any amalgamation process would have a substantial impact on our voice."

Cr McAllister hoped feedback would inform a best practice model that would come back for a further conversation with local government and tourism bodies.

"And not just a roll-out of one-size-fits-all," she said.

"For us to step into an amalgamated model with no further consultation would be absolutely disastrous."

And not just for the Yarra Ranges.

"Other areas deserve a voice the same as we do," she said.

Cr McAllister said she absolutely supported a review and any shifts that could be made to better practice.

"But I don't think Yarra Ranges Council are looking for a shift to an amalgamated entity," she said.

"It might see us withdrawing financial support."

Cr Mike Clarke said the region was so iconic for tourism in quite a diverse range of ways.

"To have that diluted to me would be a disadvantage for us," he said.

"We've got a lot to still improve."

The council report on the submission noted that tourism directly provided the Yarra Ranges with 3300 jobs and $619 million in gross revenue annually.

"Indirectly, tourism has a significant influence on the economy across all industry sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, retail trade, accommodation and food services, and arts and recreation services," the report said.

Yarra Ranges Tourism Limited (YRT) is the Regional Tourism Board for the State Government's Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges campaign region.

Yarra Range Council outsources the municipality's marketing and promotion to YRT and supports the body financially.

Lost dads remembered

By Jed Lanyon While Australians came together for Father’s Day on Sunday 1 September to celebrate their dads, Le Pine Funerals helped Yarra Valley community members who have lost paternal figures honour and connect with them through a dedicated memorial service at Federation Chapel at Lilydale Memorial Park.

Guests were invited to bring a memento of those they were remembering.

Each memento was placed on display during the service and those in attendance were encouraged to provide a photo for inclusion in a special visual.

Father’s Day is an international holiday founded in 1910 by the daughter of William Jackson Smart, to recognise his selflessness and dedication as a single parent to six children.

To this day, people observe this annual event by celebrating their own fathers and their invaluable contributions to our lives.

“In our role of carers of the Healesville, Lilydale, Croydon, and the surrounding areas, we think it’s important that everyone has a place to remember the amazing dads who are no longer with us in body, but are ever-present in spirit and memory, and very much loved and missed by those who are here to remember them,” Ian DeBlaquiere, Le Pine Funerals location manager at Croydon, said.

The Le Pine team created the memorial service to help people celebrate the lives of their fathers and grandfathers, while providing an opportunity to connect with others who were going through a similar experience.

The event was held in collaboration with Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust.

“In today’s society where we all lead busy lives, we hope to provide a time of joy for our neighbours, and a place where families can unite to reminisce on the good times,” Mr DeBlaquiere said.

Guests brought photos of loved-ones and mementos to honour them.

Butcher boasts prize winning pork

By Jed Lanyon Healesville’s Main Street Quality Butchers and Smokehouse has earned the title of best bacon and kabana in the Melbourne A region by the Australian Meat Industry Council.

The butchers now have their eyes set on the state finals awards later in the year, where they could be recognised as producing the best bacon and kabana across Victoria.

This local butcher shop is no stranger to success, having won many awards in previous years, including the award for best bacon in Victoria in 2007.

Stephen Hollis said that his prize winning pork is the perfect pairing if you’re looking to make bacon and eggs or enjoy kabana on a cheese platter.

To go along with those awards, the butcher shop earned second in sausage, third in traditional sausage and third in kransky this year.

“We do all our own, we do the whole lot ourselves, and we do it from scratch with the bacon.

“We buy in the middles, we process it and naturally smoke it.

“And with the kabana ... we know what goes into ours, it’s all just straight pork and our own special recipe after that.”

Mr Hollis, who has owned the shop for over 20 years, said he drops off samples of his meats in Lilydale, where they are then judged on the presentation of the raw product and then for presentation and taste of the cooked product.

“I’m really happy, I always try to do my best when it comes to this stuff ... I always try to give people good value for their money.”

Yarra Ranges Councillors are vowing to cut red tape that closed a homeless housing project this winter.

Councillor Len Cox told the Tuesday 27 August council meeting that he didn’t want Stable One’s Winter Shelter to hit any stumbling blocks next year.

Stable One partnered with churches to provide temporary accommodation since winter 2017.

But the council shut the project a week early, on 20 August, following advice from the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) that the churches needed temporary occupancy permits.

“I want to make sure that the arrangements are sorted out properly between now and next June so that they can do it and there won’t be an issue,” Cr Cox said.

“The issue is do they need a permit to do it?

What should that permit be?

“There is nothing but confusion about it.

“I want to impress on council and staff that it needs to get sorted before next winter comes around because the churches will most certainly want to do it again.

“I would like to get a report from staff as to how it can occur next year without this situation.”

Mayor Tony Stevenson told the meeting that the council wrote to the State Government in May but didn’t receive any support.

In a statement on 23 August, the council said that Planning Minister Richard Wynne had in response confirmed that any organisation wishing to accommodate - temporarily or permanently - needed to hold the relevant occupancy permits.

“We are caught in a difficult position between the VBA and Stable One,” Cr Stevenson said.

Cire recognised as our local legends

By Jed Lanyon Cire Services has been recognised as a Victorian Learn Local Legend on Friday 23 August.

The Victorian Learn Local Awards recognise the inspirational efforts of learners, practitioners and training providers in the Learn Local education and training network.

Cire's Women's Warehouse Essentials program and founder Nina Bekker were both finalists for Learn Local Awards.

Ms Bekker was responsible for the implementation of the program and she shared how the program between Cire and Employment Plus had evolved.

"There was a lot going on in these women's lives on top of the fact that they were unemployed.

"The reason they were at Employment Plus was because they were unemployed. But it's really hard to get yourself to a job interview when in three weeks you're going to be evicted from your house.

"We were building that relationship and rapport with women, where they were telling us these things.

"So we were able then to refer them to other services to help stabilise whatever was going on, whether if it was domestic violence or financial budgeting or food care packages.

"It's all about building up a woman's selfconfidence communication and teamwork.

It's some of the things you need when you're actually in a job."

Ms Bekker said that some women were buying Christmas hampers in the lead up to the holidays believing they were a cheaper alternative to pay off during the year.

"We did a couple sessions asking whether that is actually good value. And found that it's

Cire's Nina Bekker. not ... you'd be better off putting $5 away and then to go shopping to grab what you actually want or need.

Ms Bekker described the program as a gathering of people supported by Cire that goes in the direction of the needs of the women involved.

"It's really driven by the women, and we try to facilitate and support that.

The program has led to the concept of First Impressions, a shop in Mooroolbark that allows women to buy or rent clothing for a job interview or other important occasion.

First Impressions is run by members of the

Ms Bekker said that it was fantastic to see some of the original members of the program now mentoring new women joining Women's Warehouse Essentials and that she would love to see the program duplicated across the state.

Women's Warehouse Essentials operates at Employment Plus locations in Healesville and Mooroolbark.

Rotary raffle to boost Kenya food security

By Jed Lanyon The Rotary Club of Healesville is holding a raffle in support of their milking cow and goat project in Kenya.

Healesville Rotarian Wilma Best said, “Food production for entire families and their precious cows and goats will be boosted when much needed and necessary farm machinery driven by a tractor with attachments, will be purchased in Kenya.”

The raffle proceeds will allow Rotarian Father Jason Micheni to manage and supervise the provision of the tractor, which will modernise the cultivation of farmer’s land, as opposed to manual labour.

Mr Micheni is already well known to some people in Healesville, having been sponsored to Australia twice before in 2011 and 2017.

Ms Best said that he will be sponsored again for the month of November where he will share details about this valuable project to improve food security.

“Together we are all making a difference and boosting sustainable food production for poor farmers,” she said.

Healesville Rotarians can be located along Healesville Walk selling raffle tickets for $5 until 30 November.

First prize is a Rover Ride on Mower valued at $3549, second prize is a Weber BBQ valued at $759 and third prize is a selection of kitchen goods valued at $690.

Ms Best said that Healesville High School VCAL students and their teachers had already raised over $2000 towards the tractor to help make this initiative possible.

Rail review

By Casey Neill Lilydale residents are encouraged to share their ideas about removing the town's level crossing.

Yarra Ranges Councillor Richard Higgins told the Tuesday 27 August council meeting that people were concerned about the plan to elevate the rail line above Maroondah Highway.

"Hopefully the community can stick together," he said.

Cr Higgins said he'd visited Murrumbeena, where the line was recently elevated.

"I hope we're not getting what they got down there," he said.

"It's a concrete jungle. It's atrocious."

He said he supported raising the line but "we need to make sure that it's futureproof and something the community actually wants".

On behalf of the Lilydale Township Action Group, Neal Taylor told the Mail that parking was the biggest concern.

Up to 450 new and upgraded car parking spaces have been included in the Mooroolbark level crossing removal project, but there's been no mention of extra space at Lilydale.

Mr Taylor said other issues raised at recent community meetings included what the space underneath the line would be used for; traffic flow; how bus services might be affected; and lift, stairwell and ramp access, including access for Lilydale High School students without the need to cross the road.

"There is some concern about the trees on Maroondah Highway there in Lilydale, the avenue of honour, and making sure that nothing's harmed there," he said.

The group also wants to ensure the heritage-listed rail station is well used following the redevelopment.

"This is an opportunity now for Lilydale to really take the next step up and use this as a positive thing for us," he said.

"We straddle being a country town that's grown up into a suburban town."

Another public workshop was scheduled for 1pm on Saturday 31 August at the senior citizens hall in Lilydale.

"It's a good chance to get together and hear some fresh ideas," Mr Taylor said.

Those ideas as being documented and will be passed onto the council and the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA).

Proceeds of the raffle will go towards the purchase of a tractor in Kenya.

For more information about the raffle and to purchase tickets, contact Wilma Best on 5962 4326 or wilma.best@bigpond.com The raffle is a Rotary Australia World Community Service project and any individual donations are tax deductible.

Meeting 500

Art owner search

By Casey Neill

By Jed Lanyon The search is on to reunite a painting with its original owner after Healesville resident Merran Macs found a portrait of a woman in her house.

Mrs Macs said she would love to see the painting returned to the woman depicted in the artwork or a family member.

The painting is the work of her mother Barbara Innes Henderson, an artist who frequently painted portraits for people in the Healesville community.

Innes arrived in Healesville in 1946 and later ran art classes at the Healesville Living and Learning Centre for several years.

"She was an artist and she trained at the National Gallery Art School during the second world war, while my father was away overseas," Ms Macs said.

"She had painted ever since then and she mostly liked doing portraits."

Ms Macs said her mother was unable to identify the portrait in her later years of life before she passed away in 2007, aged 97.

Ms Macs isn't certain, but believes the portrait may have been painted in Healesville in the 1970s.

"There were always paintings of people around ... So it was just another painting in the house.

"It could have been somebody from Healesville or someone who was visiting the town.

"She had connections with a lot of people in Healesville, but it could have been anybody.

"When we packed up her house, we didn't know what to do with it ... I'd be delighted if somebody could take it off my hands."

Wurundjeri woman Julie Coombes opened the 500th Yarra Ranges Council meeting with a welcome to country.

"You are most welcome to the land of the Wurundjeri people," she told the Tuesday 27 August meeting.

She shared pictures and stories of her ancestors, many of whom were born at Coranderrk in Healesville.

"Aboriginal people at Coranderrk were true survivors," she said.

Ms Coombes wore a possum skin cloak handed down from her mother, and explained that a welcome to country paid respect to the land's traditional owners as well as their guests.

"I welcome you all from my heart to my country, Wurundjeri country," she said.

Councillor Len Cox was present at the first council meeting, held on 15 April 1997.

He was unsure if that event featured a welcome to country, but was pleased that the council had since fostered such a positive relationship with its indigenous community members.

On the main wall of the council chambers was a new indigenous language map and art, which the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum created with guest curator, Wurundjeri woman, Brooke Wandin.

It commemorates the UNESCO International Year of Indigenous Languages and highlights indigenous language words that have been repurposed to name and identify locations.

Melbourne Indigenous artist Amanda Wright created the artworks that feature on the map.

Yarra Ranges brought together the shires of Lillydale, Healesville, Upper Yarra and Ferntree Gully.

"As the elected representatives for the Yarra Ranges, these meetings are where we can support and guide the changing needs of our communities and provide leadership for a better tomorrow," Mayor Tony Stevenson said.

Ancestral storytelling

By Jed Lanyon ABC Presenter Joel Carnegie is bringing his Stardust story performance to The Memo, alongside Tom Molyneux's The Mission in a double billed act.

For over 25 years, a locked wooden dresser sat in the family garage of Mr Carnegie.

The dresser was once the prized possession of his grandfather Col Brian, a Victorian jazz musician.

"Before he died in the late 80s, he left his life's musical possessions in a cupboard and it was never opened." Mr Carnegie said.

"Stardust explores his life through the things he left behind.

"He had a real interesting, but ordinary life."

Stardust asks the audience to think about their own ancestors' journey through life and how it may shape future generations.

"In the second half of the double bill, The Mission tells the story of one of the first Indigenous soldiers to enlist in World War I, in Allan McDonald."

Despite this, Allan was denied a soldier's settlement on his return to Australia, and forced from his traditional land at the Lake

Condah Mission.

Allan's steps are retraced by his great great nephew and fellow Gunditjmara man Mr Molyneux and tells a story about fighting for justice whatever the cost.

"It kind of seemed like an interesting fit to bring two stories together," Mr Carnegie said.

"On paper they are two very different stories and it makes for a cohesive storytelling experience watching these stories contrasting."

Mr Carnegie said that the show works with a seven piece band on stage made up of students from local secondary schools.

Healesville High School students and Luther

College students will join Mr Carnegie on stage "It's a chance for audiences to see the brightest talent from the Healesville area performing in a professional theatre show.

"We are well in rehearsals and the band is sounding fantastic. We work with different bands wherever we go."

Stardust was first performed as a radio documentary of ABC Radio National.

Stardust and The Mission will be showing at The Memo on Saturday 14 September at 7.30pm.

Bushland Explorers at the sanctuary

By Jed Lanyon Awaken from the winter hibernation and discover the curiosity and magic of Healesville Sanctuary during Bushland Explorers activities these spring school holidays.

Get even closer to nature as larger-thanlife butterflies and ants roam throughout the sanctuary grounds.

Giant butterflies, Flitter and Flutter, will float magically through the sanctuary each day of the school holidays.

The second week of the school holidays sees the arrival of Ants, by Polyglot Theatre.

This interactive roving performance has giant ants bringing children together in a gentle and intriguing landscaping project.

Bushland Explorers activities is on from 21 September to 6 October and is free with admission to Healesville Sanctuary.

From Memphis with Love and energy too From Memphis with Love will be capturing all of the energy and excitement of the 60s when they play at the all new Rochford Concert Lounge on Saturday 19 October.

David Gould and The Expectations will be covering some of the most influential artists of the time, including Elvis Presley, Dusty Springfield, Aretha Franklin, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash.

Band manager and guitarist Dave McFarlane spoke with the Mail about the band's upcoming show at the Rochford Concert Lounge.

"There are plenty of places you can go to see live music if you're happy to stand in a mosh pit or in a pub ... But to get a place that has good food and wine, comfortable seating and good production, they're sort of few and far between.

Mr McFarlane said he's looking forward to performing alongside actor and singer David Gould.

"He's an awesome performer and one of a kind. You let him loose in a room of 3000 people and he's off in the audience, he just loves it."

I spit on your grave remix The Nightingale Starring Aisling Franciosi, Baykali Ganambarr and Sam Claflin Rated MA15+ Directed by Jennifer Kent, the gifted writerdirector of The Babadook, The Nightingale is a superb, harrowing historical thriller about cruelty and perseverance in the Australian colonial frontier.

In 1825 Tasmania, Clare (Aisling Franciosi), an Irish servant and convict, teams up with Billy (Baykali Ganambarr), an Indigenous tracker, to find and gain vengeance on the British officers who destroyed her family.

Franciosi delivers an enthralling performance of despair and frailty combined with a relentless will. Ganambarr has a bitter, guarded presence, but provides some levity through his sardonic remarks.

Kent does an outstanding job of generating tension through character and setting. mailcommunity.com.au

The perilous Australian wilderness is a constant obstacle for everyone involved, and while Clare and Billy slowly bond over their present hardships and past trauma (including as victims of colonialism and displacement), the officers' callousness and desperation erupt into further monstrous acts of cruelty.

A warning: The Nightingale contains extremely confronting depictions of rape, assault and murder.

But these graphic scenes are never gratuitous in this film: they starkly illustrate how race, class and authority legitimised horrific depravity and dehumanisation during colonial times.

The Nightingale is not for the faint of heart (or those triggered by the acts it depicts) but it's a gut-wrenching revenge thriller elevated by rich character writing, staggering performances and superb pacing.

- Seth Lukas Hynes

"The show is just fun, and it is all go. The way that we assess songs is that so people can sing along with them. We want something that is emotive.

"Elvis and that era of music was amazingly influential to all of the modern artists out now ... It really was the birth of rock n roll."

From Memphis with Love will be at the Rochford Concert Lounge on Saturday 19 October.

STUNNING VIEWS IN MILLGROVE HEIGHTS THIS much-loved home of more than 30 years is now ready for its new owner to enjoy.

Nestled into a large allotment of about a third of an acre, the agent says this home would lend itself beautifully to those embarking on the bed and breakfast option (subject to council approval), or move in and enjoy it as much as the current owners have for so many years.

The well-maintained home has so much to offer, starting with a huge outdoor undercover deck that showcases views of the Warburton Ranges and the valley.

At this time of year, the agent says, the owner can sit outside snuggled under a rug and gaze at the snow-tipped mountains, and during the warmer months enjoy a barbecue outdoors, smell the fresh air and listen to the song of the wild birds.

The split-level home comprises three large bedrooms and a home office or fourth bedroom, a spacious open-plan kitchen and living zone with cathedral ceilings, a wood fire and split-system heating and cooling, solar power and natural gas connected.

The usable block provides an abundance of fruit trees too numerous to list, vegie garden, chook shed, bird cages and a gate through the fence gives with access to the state forest, which a family of koalas calls home. â—?

SPORT

Kangaroos are on the hop

By Nick Creely Officer advanced through to Sunday's semifinal after a dominant showing in its AFL Outer East Division 1 elimination final against Mount Evelyn at the Gembrook Sports Ground on Sunday, 15.14 (104) to 6.7 (43).

It was a Jekyll and Hyde type of day for the footy fans that made their way to ground, with the first half baked in sunshine before the heavens opened up, and each time the Kangaroos adjusted superbly, playing the finals type football all observers knew they were capable of.

The Kangaroos struck almost immediately against the breeze, with skipper Matthew Clark wheeling around and snapping one through, before Jesse Longmuir - on his way to the finest game of his senior career - launched a long bomb from 50, kick starting a scintillating run of play.

Longmuir's hands in the air were a particular highlight, taking several strong grabs and providing an excellent target for a Kangaroo midfield picking up the footy at alarming rates through the tap work of big man Sean Roach.

The Kangaroos finished the opening stanza with five straight goals to flex their muscles, controlling the ball on the inside with Ben Kerrigan and Blair Allan and showing flashes of brilliance through ball magnet Tyler Clark, Jake Ingaliso and club legend Ben Tivendale, who seemed to really relish the finals stage.

Longmuir, fresh off a splendid opening quarter, once again got the Kangaroos up and about early in the second, taking a nice grab and slotting another textbook set-shot, sending the Kangaroos into raptures as the lead ventured past five goals.

The Rovers did begin to assert some influence in the coalface, with big forward Robert Hartfield starting to get a good look in, but the Kangaroos halted them on most occasions, using slick ball movement and a strong aerial presence to continue their overriding control, and when skipper Clarke kicked another ripping snap from 40 out, the lead ballooned out to beyond seven goals, all but sealing the result.

While the Rovers did manage to peg a few back late through Hartfield who continued to look ominous, it felt like too little too late, with the Kangaroos still holding onto a five-goal advantage as the rain began to well and truly set

Ben Kerrigan in action for the Kangaroos against Mount Evelyn on Sunday. 197225 Picture: ROB CAREW in, settling in for the second half.

A brief chance of a fight back became a slim reality when the Rovers slammed on two early goals in the third term, before the Kangaroos once again took the game by the scruff of the neck and forged on ahead, kicking four unanswered goals to put to bed any chance of a remarkable resurgence.

In a final quarter with the result inevitable, one eye was clearly on the next test that awaits the Kangaroos, holding the Rovers goalless and kicking two themselves, including one from Tivendale, who capped off a golden day for the club by putting that extra sweet icing on the cake in the dying moments.

Veteran big man Sean Roach was absolutely superb, with the 36-year-old putting in a masterclass ruck performance for the Kangaroos, in one of his most influential games of the season, while Longmuir finished with five classy goals to be one of the most dominant players

on the ground.

Down at Beaconsfield's picturesque Holm Park, a gritty Doveton is just one win away from a grand final after downing Monbulk in sunny, and then torrential conditions, 8.12 (60) to 7.3 (45).

It was all the Hawks in the first half, surging out to a 21-point lead at quarter time, but the Doves stuck in, pegging that deficit to just a straight kick at the major break as the weather well and truly settled in.

The Doves managed to get the jump as the rain tumbled in the third term, with youngster Max Sheppard in particular handling the conditions with ease and midfielder Mitch Cotter completely dominating the stoppages on his way to a mountain of the football.

With the game well and truly in the balance with a quarter to play, and the Doves with a two-goal lead early in the last, a Hawk tackle slipped high and Daniel Charles' side made

the most of the chance to take their lead out to three goals, before the Hawks began to try and defy the conditions and move the ball quickly.

Despite the Hawks breathing some form of life into the contest with a reply 10 minutes later, Sheppard sealed the deal with his second goal, snapping one after a free kick advantage to send the Doves into a semi-final showdown with Pakenham.

Young star Mitch Cotter - who was the SEFNL MVP for Doveton last year in a winless side - has returned to the club with a bang after a stint at Noble Park, relishing the wet conditions to be a dominant force against the Hawks, while Sean Kelleher, Harley Primrose and Daniel Zajac were all excellent.

For the Hawks - who now face a crunch semi-final clash against the Kangaroos - Glenn Strachan was instrumental all day.

In the Premier Division's final round of the home-and-away season, Cranbourne officially booked itself a finals ticket after a commanding performance against Upwey Tecoma on the road, 12.19 (91) to 6.11 (47).

The Eagles - who will now face Woori Yallock in a cut-throat elimination final on Saturday - shook off a slow start to take control of the contest after half time, kicking six goals to one across the final two quarters to bank the vital four points.

Kyle Nunn and Corey Ellison each slotted three to continue their strong form, while Stuart Morrish, Anthony Fischer and Dylan Cavalot were all named in the best.

In the remaining matches, Olinda Ferny Creek finished its season off on a bright note and will take plenty of confidence heading into the pre-season after defeating Wandin at home, 16.8 (104) to 9.10 (64).

The Bloods surged out to a 26-point quarter time lead, and couldn't be headed thereafter, with Peter Gough, Dylan Wilson and James Charge all impressive.

Beaconsfield geared up for finals with a commanding 52-point win against Woori Yallock, 12.23 (95) to 6.7 (43).

After a stellar year for Casey in the VFL, Jimmy Munro made his first appearance of the season at local level for the Eagles, and slotted three goals to be influential.

And Berwick clinched the minor premiership with a dominant final term against Narre Warren, 16.11 (107) to 10.15 (75).

Healesville Cup Carnival excitement for local trainers

By Cynthia O’brien This Sunday 8 September will be the final events of this year’s Healesville Greyhound Association Cup Carnival.

With the carnival of racing at the Don Road complex conducting 13 race meetings and 156 races, it has been a very busy and exciting month of racing for the club and especially for local trainers Paul Jones and Maria Barber.

In the first of the major events, the inaugural National Straight Track Championship, Peter Galo took the winner’s purse of $35,000 and set a new track record.

Maria, from Hoddles Creek, bred the winner and races several of the litter mates.

This weekend, the 30th Healesville Cup will be run and Paul and Maria will have a greyhound that they train engaged in the final,

with $47,000 up for grabs for the winner.

Paul is a former club president and Maria is a life member, and both are over-the-moon with the run of their greyhound Sideshow Marjen in his heat of the cup.

Starting at long odds, he saluted the judge in a smart 19.12 seconds and paid a $69.40 winning dividend.

David Jensen from Heathcote owns Sideshow Marjen.

Gates open to the public from 10.30am on Sunday, with the final programmed for Race 6 at 12.24pm.

On-course activities for the kids include mini golf, ball and crawl, a balloonist and a food van.

There’s a fully licensed bar and TAB facilities for the adults.

Arnott’s win

Hendy keeps improving

By Ron Hottes Warburton Golf Club's par competition on Wednesday 28 August took place under threatening skies.

A field of 30-plus took to the course to try and match their handicaps. No-one did.

The winning score of square only matched par.

This was achieved by the much-improved Rob Hendy.

Rob has sliced five shots off his handicap in the past three months, so clearly it is heading mailcommunity.com.au

south at a rapid rate.

The runner-up with a -1 was Trevor Porter, another improving player in recent times.

Balls went down all the way to -3.

The three nearest the pin winners were Ray 'Happy' Gilmore on the third, Phil 'Senior' Garside on the 10th and Craig Brown on the 15th.

The club held a stableford contest on Saturday 31 August, the last day of winter, and many players can't wait for the warm spring weather.

The following winning scores prove the old golfing adage 'no run equals no fun'.

At least a couple of the field can celebrate

their reasonable scores.

The best on this day went to Andy Kay with a none-too-shabby 37 points.

Andy only won on a countback from PE teacher extraordinaire Meredith Nursey.

Ms Nursey usually keeps her best efforts for school holidays, but has clearly made an exception here.

The ball rundown extended to 34 only.

Nearest the pins were awarded to Ossie McClay on the third, Dave Murch on the ninth, Clint Toohey on the 12th and to Hatty on the 15th.

By Karl Hradsky Fortunately missing Sunday afternoon’s rain and the ground having dried up somewhat with Saturday’s fine weather, conditions were very good for the Healesville Social Golf Club’s round of par.

Ken Arnott (19) came in square with the card to claim first position.

Wayne Fenner (19), scoring -1, came second on countback, dropping Travis Carroll (10) to third.

Chris Handasyde and Travis Carroll hit the two nearest the pins.

Bloods are the premiers!

By Jed Lanyon Healesville Football Netball Club's Senior Women's team are premiers and champions of the AFL Outer East after defeating Monbulk by 42 points in the grand final on Saturday 31 August.

The Bloods pounced early to set up a crucial three goal lead at quarter time before running away to win the league's inaugural premiership.

Danielle Jones was judged best afield, kicking three goals for the day to help propel Healesville to victory.

"I'm so proud of all the girls, we've worked so hard all year and it obviously showed on Saturday night," she said.

The grand finalists met in a semi final on 18 August which proved to be Healesville's closest match to date as they narrowly defeated the Hawks by one goal in a low-scoring affair plagued by wet conditions.

"After our first final, we revaluated what we needed to do. But we were there purely just to play footy and give 100 per cent and we were lucky enough to come away with the win," Jones said.

Healesville were the only team in the league who were able to beat Monbulk and the two teams were the standout leaders in the league sitting five wins ahead of the third placed team.

Throughout the year, the Senior Women's team had used club guernseys that belonged to an under 18s men's team.

A recent sponsorship from the RACV Healesville Country Club allowed the team to be sized for their own guernseys which arrived the day before the grand final.

But coach Mitchell Hay kept this a secret from the players, believing that changing the guernseys for the big game would prove to be bad luck.

They were instead presented their new

Candice Martin described the win as historic for the club.

"Honestly, I joined the football team for the fun side of it not to win. Winning is just a bonus.

"I've made so many good friends and we're like a family now. It's one big support network.

"Girls football is here to stay."

Josette O'Donnell said that the premiership win was one of her best moments alongside her wedding day and the birth of her children.

"I haven't taken my medal off yet," she said.

O'Donnell had a special moment for Father's Day by visiting her father's grave site in

Yea to share her proud achievement.

She said she enjoyed playing alongside fellow Wurundjeri woman Brooke Wandin in the game her ancestors knew as Marngrook.

Wandin said she had watched every male member of her family play footy and that she was happy to get her own turn.

The Healesville team spent Mad Monday at Healesville's Terminus Hotel with family for a 'wind down' lunch.

"We've been having a lot of fun. We had been on some restrictions from our coach in order to prepare for grand final day. So now that it's over, it's great to let loose," Jones said.

Healesville 8.2 50 (D. Jones 3, J. Petersen 3, D. Watson, C. Martin) defeated Monbulk 1.2 8 (M. Dodd).
