with a view. It just kind of fell into place.”

But Mr Shewry said it wasn’t a simple task to set up Attica Summer Camp and labelled the project “a huge risk” coming out of lockdown.

“We probably didn’t fully understand the magnitude of the work and the job to set this place up and get it going. But I think sometimes that naivety is a good thing, if you went into every challenge that you faced in life knowing the difficulties and the outcomes would be, you probably wouldn’t do anything.

“To do another business full stop, when my other business (Attica) was struggling so badly from being closed for nine months, it was a

massive challenge and a massive risk.... At some point you just have to say, I believe I can do it and then just make it happen.”

Attica Summer Camp was created as a casual escape from the stresses of the day-to-day and features a menu based around a charcoal rotisserie and laid back drinks.

“Here, in some ways, we threw off the constraints of Attica and we wanted this to be more of a freeform free wheeling place,” Mr Shewry said.

“Here I wanted to do something very different from Attica. I wanted to flip the script and offer food at a really reasonable price and for much larger numbers of people than we would

have ever served at Attica and in a place that is disarming and kind and feels natural.

“I think coming out of the toughness of last year and getting through those two lockdowns, it was such a terrible time. I wanted to make something that was more life affirming and more vibrant and a reminder that even in tough times, there’s many good things to look forward to.”

Mr Shewry said he has used Attica Summer Camp as an opportunity to connect with local growers and producers and that he hopes to continue those relationships with local businesses in the future.

Tucked away amongst Seville’s farms and bushland lies one of the Yarra Valley’s best kept secrets - Attica Summer Camp.

Internationally renowned chef Ben Shewry created a temporary restaurant project in Attica Summer Camp and has been operating since January. Mr Shewry’s Ripponlea restaurant Attica has been listed among the World’s 50 Best Restaurants (ranked 20th in 2018) and now he’s providing a taste of Attica to the Yarra Valley.

Realising that the hospitality industry would soon look different as the world grappled with a pandemic, Mr Shewry called on close friend and Yarra Valley winemaker, Mac Forbes, who helped him in launching Attica Summer Camp.

“Without Mac, we wouldn’t have been here,” he said. “I rang Mac during the second lockdown and just told him what I was imagining and what I wanted to do and how I saw the future of dining a little bit for the next six months or a year at least.”

“I just wanted to get out of the city too. I’m from the country in New Zealand, so the country resonates with me, and so Mac just started thinking and showing me around different properties and we visited some really great people.

“I think we went to about ten different properties, but the site here in Seville was the one that stood out for me because of the freedom the site offered.”

The site offers a combination of indoor and outdoor dining and stunning views of nearby farmland and bush.

“It gave us huge flexibility, especially at a time where there’s social distancing and the square metre rule was a really big deal in restaurants.

“It has the amazing aspect of the great view, I’ve never been able to work in a restaurant

The completed vision of a Yarra Valley Equestrian Park. that there are nearly 11,000 equestrians in the Yarra Valley and that 50 per cent of Equestrian Victoria’s membership numbers live within 50 kilometres of the Yarra Valley.

“There is a huge equestrian audience that is just bursting looking for venues that are in our local area, east of Melbourne, to train or compete at.”

Currently the only major equestrian hubs are located in Werribee and Boneo on the Mornington Peninsula, each about 100 kilometres from the proposed site of the proposed Yarra Valley Equestrian Park.

But it’s not just about providing a location for local riders to compete as Mr Sinclair

said the world-class facility would bring in equestrians from all over the state. YVEP has consulted an architecture firm to provide a detailed planning process for the first stage of works.

Mr Sinclair said the project is just waiting on the outcome of the Federal Government grant process (expected in July) and that the venue could be up and running within 12 months.

He said the venue’s space could be utilised as a fire refuge facility in the event of emergency and could host regional events such as agricultural shows.

The project is yet to receive funding from any level of government.

On Friday 30 April, Yarra Glen Police intercepted a vehicle in Yarra Glen. The vehicle had earlier been observed by a motorist overtaking two vehicles, the second vehicle over double white lines on the Melba Highway in Glenburn.

Police were able to view the in car footage of the incident and later obtain a copy. The driver of the offending vehicle was issued a $330 infringement and 3 demerit points for crossing double white lines. Yarra Glen Police Sergeant Richard Coulson advised that more and more vehicles these days have in car footage and that police are now regularly using the footage supplied by drivers to prosecute offenders.

A 54 Year old Buxton male entered a breath testing site in Yering on Tuesday at 11am and provided a positive test for alcohol. He was taken to Lilydale Police Station and returned an evidentiary breath test of 0.127 - two and a half times over the limit. He also underwent a drug test and provided a positive sample for cannabis. This sample will be analysed in a laboratory and if confirmed, any penalties imposed by a Magistrate may be doubled given the presence of alcohol and drugs.

The male’s licence was immediately suspended for 12 months, his vehicle was impounded for 30 days at a cost of $1017, and will receive a summons to attend the Magistrates Court. “We conduct breath testing sites at all times of the day and often in the morning in random locations,” A Yarra Ranges Eyewatch spokesperson said.

“People often ask, do you ever get anyone so early? or Are people drinking at this time of the day? Well the answer to these questions are absolutely - Yes.”

VicForests has won its appeal against environmental group Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum overturning a judgment that found it had breached conservation regulations and allowing for logging to recommence in 66 coupes in Victoria’s Central Highlands.

The decision was handed down in the Federal Court on Monday 10 May after the appeal was heard last month.

The decision overruled last year’s court decision which placed an injunction on logging operations in areas of habitat of the vulnerable greater glider and the critically endangered Leadbeater’s possum.

The court reached its conclusion on the case in May last year, with injunctions granted on 21 August. That decision set a legal precedent applying federal threatened species protection law to the logging industry, which had operated under a special exemption from federal environment law.

Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum said they would apply to keep injunctions in place while they appeal to the High Court, to ensure protections stay in place for the 66 areas subject of the case home to the

critically endangered Leadbeater’s Possum and vulnerable Greater Glider.

The group’s president Steve Meacher described the decision as “very disappointing”.

Nicola Rivers, Co-CEO of Environmental Justice Australia said, “We’ll be working with our client, Friends of Leadbeater’s Possum to appeal to the High Court and apply to keep injunctions in place protecting the critical areas of habitat subject of the case.”

VicForests released a statement following the successful appeal.

“VicForests is pleased that its appeal to the Full Court of the Federal Court has been successful,” the statement read.

“The Full Court accepted VicForests’ arguments on the main ground of appeal – with all other grounds being argued as an alternative in the event that the first ground was unsuccessful.

“Importantly the Court has upheld VicForests’ interpretation of the framework for sharing of environmental regulation between the Commonwealth and the States – that is, that forestry operations conducted in an area that is managed through a Regional Forest Agreement are managed under the

Plans for a world class equestrian centre in the Yarra Valley are on the table again as equestrian group, Yarra Valley Equestrian Park (YVEP), hopes the Federal Government will match their funding to start construction on the project.

YVEP, is a self-funded, not for profit association that has been pushing to see the construction of a major equestrian hub in the Yarra Valley for years. The project has seen community clubs and stakeholders pledge $1.25 million to begin stage one of construction and have put forward an application for the Federal Government’s Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF).

YVEP president Geoff Sinclair said, “The project will serve the needs of our local riders with new and enhanced facilities to enable the best of conditions for multi-discipline competition right through to international level events.”

“Extensive research and planning has informed our recent progress and ensured we are shovel ready. We are anticipating turning soil and completing the project within 12 months of a successful BBRF outcome.”

The equestrian park would be located on a 40 hectare Yering property, the current site of the Yarra Glen and Lilydale Hunt Club along the Melba Highway.

An independent economic report found that the project would provide $3.8 million for the local economy by servicing 35,000 patrons and providing for 24 full-time jobs once operating.

Thieves target Shorelec

By Jed Lanyon A Helaesville business has been targeted by thieves who set off with thousands of dollars worth of stock in a robbery on the morning of Saturday 1 May. Electrical wholesaler Shorelec had its door jimmied open as thieves stole portable batteries, HD security cameras and more.

Store manager Rod Barratt said he saw the irony of thieves stealing security systems.

“We’ve had police and then detectives come through. They fingerprinted the place and police are viewing security footage from us and from a camera in the mechanics across the road.

“Our alarm system went off about 3.30 in the morning, by the time we got one of our

staff members to the store, they had left. They only took a few minutes.”

Mr Barratt said the crime seemed calculated and that the electronics were of Jaycar and Concord brands.

“They seemed to know where in the shop and what they wanted and we’re pretty sure they had been through before.” The thieves also operated in an area which was a blind

spot for surveillance cameras. Since then the business has beefed up their own security systems, placing extra cameras in store and bars across their doors. It’s a bit of a worry for Healesville being a quiet town… We’re hoping the police have enough to lead them to who it was. They’re quite unique security systems, so they’re (the police) already checking around to see if they are being sold separately.”

Ambos and firies team up A new vehicle is currently based out of the Hillcrest fire station but it won’t be turning out to fight fires in the area.

Ambulance Victoria has started a six month trial that will see an ambulance and two paramedics located at the fire station to boost response times in the area.

Hillcrest Fire Brigade captain Colin Dickson said the co-located station is a fantastic example of the CFA working with other agencies to provide the best opportunities for the community.

“The response from the brigade has been overwhelmingly supportive,” said Mr Dickson.

“The idea was unanimously agreed to at our brigade meeting when the proposal was put to them.”

Mr Dickson said the brigade’s ability to respond to community emergencies and fires would not be impacted.

“We have moved a vehicle to our satellite station in Don Valley to provide a space for the ambulance, however that Field Command Vehicle is primarily used for crew transport.”

Ambulance Victoria’s Yarra Ranges senior

team manager Shaun Caulfield said AV has a long and proud history working side-by-side with the CFA. “This trial is part of our flex and surge model, enabling timely care and assistance to the community,” said Mr Caulfield.

Hillcrest CFA volunteer Fiona Burns has been the brigade’s AV liaison officer and said the brigade has been very welcoming of the paramedics who are now working out of a small meeting room in the station.

“CFA and Ambulance Victoria work closely at many incidents,” said Ms Burns.

“Our volunteers already know some members of Yarra Junction AV as they’ve previously attended incidents together.”

The co-located arrangement will continue for six months and will be reviewed later in the year.

Hillcrest fire station will now feature an ambulance.

Chum’s defibrillator pride

By Jed Lanyon The Chum Creek community finally has access to a defibrillator 24 hours a day, seven days a week thanks to the dedication of the local primary school’s staff students and families.

When the school’s requests to have an AED installed through several grants fell on deaf ears, they decided to get together and raise the funds themselves for the better of their community.

It took some time for the small school to reach the figure as students dipped into their pocket money and called on their local community, who donated generously.

The school recognised the need for a defibrillator in the community as those who suffered cardiac arrest in Chum Creek would be left without a defibrillator as the closest lies in Healesville, a 10 minute drive away.

Australians are given a 10 per cent chance of surviving cardiac arrest, according to Ambulance Victoria. Those numbers worsened throughout the pandemic. But when given access to a defibrillator, those slim odds jump all the way up to 70 per cent chance of survival.

When former Chum Creek student Lily and her brother Tom started collecting money to go towards the school’s defibrillator, their parents said they would match it. Together they raised hundreds of dollars towards the cause.

Now an AED sits in a case at the entrance to the school, complete with signage for nearby residents to easily locate the device.

Teacher Ann Hosking said having the defibrillator installed is “life changing” but hopes it doesn’t need to be used.

“Anyone at any time and at any hour can come and get it. It’s for the public’s use. When you ring Triple Zero and are in need of a defib, they will say there is one at Chum Creek Primary School so you can go and get it.

“It’s going to be quicker for anyone around

Some schools keep their defibrillators in the office, meaning they are only accessible during school hours while staff are on site.

We wanted to do it for the community… People don’t always have heart attacks between 9am and 3pm. “(Despite) the junior school council organise fundraising activities within the school, we still weren’t anywhere near the funds required to purchase the defib for the community.

“Thanks to the story in the Mountain Views newspaper, some of the families in the wider community helped contribute to our cause such as the Quaggins, Whykes and Parkers to name a few.”

The school was able to source a defibrillator at a discounted rate from Emergcare in Healesville.

osity and spirit from other businesses.”

Mr Shewry said he came to Seville with a blank canvas and that included his staff as he took to employing and training a largely local team.

“Seeing them grow and seeing them flourish would be the most rewarding thing, for sure. There’s quite a few first-time hospitality workers here, especially on the floor and it’s amazing to see where they’ve come from January to where they are in May. It’s just so awesome. “To meet their parents or families who

live out here and to see that positive change in these people is really cool. And some of them are going to come back to Melbourne and work with us in the restaurant there.”

As Attica Summer Camp wraps up at the end of May, Mr Shewry said “never say never” when it came to returning to the Yarra Valley to take on a similar venture, but acknowledged the project was difficult and separated him from his family.

“I can’t imagine it, if I’m being honest. I never say never, because we tend to forget

things that were difficult and redo them sometimes. But probably because it takes so much of me personally, I need to watch that and make sure I save room for the other special people in my life.”

Mr Shewry admits that despite spending nearly seven months working in the Yarra Valley, he hadn’t found a great deal of time to stop and enjoy it for himself and shared that he hopes to spend a day at Yeringberg, driving around the region and explore the antique shops of Healesville and Yarra Glen.

Donor gift keeps giving

By Jed Lanyon Donor Families Australia will be commemorating the 10,000 plus donors, who have donated their organs and tissue to continue to raise awareness of transplantation in Australia with a Donor Heroes Night.

The 18 May event is asking all Australians to turn on their porch or balcony light and post a photo to social media.

For Warburton resident Warwick Duncan, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the story of him and his donor hero, Samantha.

Mr Duncan was the recipient of a liver transplant that saved his life 31 years ago.

He first made contact his donor’s family five months post-transplant.

“I first contacted my donor family, anonymously through the hospital as you had to in those days,” Mr Duncan said.

“My feeling then, and 31 years later still is, was that as they had made the ultimate gift to an unknown person in a time of enormous grief, the least I could do was to both thank them and tell them a little about myself.

“I told them I had three young sons, and their gift was more about the boys having a father than it was about me.

“Not long later my donor mother replied.

She said that the day after receiving my letter they happened to notice sitting in front of them at the football a dad with three young boys. At that moment, their gift became so much more real, more human, and I think helped them with their grieving process. If only just a little bit.”

When Mr Duncan’s wife fell pregnant with their fourth child, he again contacted the hospital requesting to learn the first name of his donor and that he would love to name his child after her if it were a girl.

Mr Duncan’s newborn daughter was just the fourth-born post-liver transplant in Australia, a rare occurrence in those days. He learned the name of his donor, Samantha, and so Caitlin Samantha Alexandra Duncan was born almost two years to the day of the transplant.

“The name Alexandra was in honour of the medical staff at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, where I had my transplant,” Mr Duncan said.

He shared the news of his daughter to his donor’s family and they replied congratulating Mr Duncan.

“Over the next few years I didn’t want to intrude in their lives, but nearing my tenth anniversary I had the urge that I should make contact again. I wanted to tell them everything that I had achieved in Samantha’s name, to prove to them their precious gift was not a waste. I even sent them one of the Gold Medals I had won at the World Transplant Games.

“Over the years, we found out so much more about Samantha and how she died. One of the photos of her I still carry with me everywhere I go - and always will.

“They donated because they thought that if only a small part of Samantha could live on, then that would have to do. They didn’t want another family to go through what they were going through.”

Caitlin even met Samantha’s mother at the age of eight or nine, where she pulled her close and exclaimed, “Oh, she has blue eyes.” Her Samantha had brown eyes.

“I visit Samantha’s grave whenever I’m in Adelaide, on one occasion even taking Caitlin.

That was confronting, as you may imagine.

“I am so grateful, and incredibly lucky, as knowing my donor family has been such an amazingly rewarding experience.

“Knowing them helps me remember.”

Book captures wild journey along Bicentennial Trail A French author has published a book on her solo journey along the 5330 kilometre Bicentennial National Trail from Healesville to Cooktown, Queensland.

In November 2015, Alienor le Gouvello set out from Healesville with a team of three brumbies and arrived in Cooktown in July 2017 after 441 days in the saddle. She became the only person to complete the trail with the same horses and just the second woman to complete the trail alone.

Along the way, she achieved her goal of drawing attention to the plight of Australian wild horses, or brumbies, kept going despite being stricken by a crippling bout of Ross River Fever, and finally found new love in an Aussie bushman who shared her love of the horses and the wild places.

Now she has published a fascinating account of her grand adventure – not the first in an extremely adventurous life – in a book called Wild At Heart.

Ms le Gouvello shared what inspired her to ride the 5330km trail.

“A friend mentioned it to me with the intention to do sections of it,” she said. “It planted a seed in my head and grew until I eventually decided I needed to do the entire thing. I like adventures on horseback and a challenge and wanted to promote the image of the Australian brumby.

“I always had a fascination for them since I had met them working in central Australian Aboriginal communities. After doing research on different brumby associations and understanding better their plight I came across the Guy Fawkes Heritage Horse Association who have a very successful trapping and rehoming program as supposed to culling. I wanted to promote their work and methods.”

Ms le Gouvello’s love for brumbies is strong and she hopes readers learn about the brumbies’ plight and become more aware of the “cruel” methods the government practices such as aerial culling.

“The bond I created with my horses is unique. Winning the heart of a brumby is a very special thing, and travelling 13 months together through all sorts of challenges and 6 MAIL

Alienor guides her team of brumbies along the Trail. conditions is even more special. They have the biggest heart and are the most resilient horses I’ve ever been around in a lifetime with horses.

“On the road, they became my family and I became theirs. They trusted me to provide for them and I trusted them to be sure footed and reliable. In the wild if a horse gets injured it dies. Natural selection is what makes those who survive so remarkable, they are so sensible and resilient. I truly believe it’s thanks to them we made it to the top. They are the true heroes of this expedition. They never sustained an injury or lost much condition and our trust kept us going forward.”

Ms le Gouvello recalls her journey through the Yarra Valley.

“The flora and fauna were magnificent. I loved seeing lyrebirds amongst beautiful tree ferns and gums forest and listening to all the sounds of nature, and going through little

bursts of sub-tropical rainforest. The vegetation is so luxuriant and dense.”

As she approached Cooktown, in agony because of the open sores from her fever, Ms le Gouvello wrote: “At the end of the road is the sea. I’m dreaming of a camp on the beach… I’ve reached this extremity of the world, where the earth touches the sea. I’m so grateful to Australia for being the country that has given me the strength and energy to bring this adventure to its fruition… I haven’t conquered the immensity of the bush, but it lives within me now.”

Before setting out on the Bicentennial National Trail, Ms le Gouvello had ridden horses across Mongolia and worked in remote outback Aboriginal communities.

Powelltown remained undefeated in B Grade netball.

River Pigs win Pride Cup

By Jed Lanyon Yarra Glen Football Netball Club hosted the seventh annual Pride Cup on Saturday 8 May in what has now become a significant tradition for sporting clubs across Australia.

In 2013, when Yarra Glen footballer, and future Young Victorian Australian of the Year Jason Ball came out as gay to his mates, they responded by holding a ‘Pride Game’ to show their support.

What began as a rainbow 50m line and a Pride Cup on offer for the winner, was the beginning of what is now, a national movement of local sporting communities working hard to change the culture around LGBTIQ+ inclusion in sport.

Yarra Glen, who have been undefeated in each Pride Cup, kept their perfect record intact as the River Pigs enjoyed a 21 point win over Powelltown.

A recent study by VicHealth and Monash University measured the impact of the Pride Cup program and resources, proving not only to be a financial success in drawing large crowds but for making social improvements at a club environment.

Only 11 per cent of males from Pride Cup clubs reported that their coach had used homophobic language in the past two weeks, compared to 30 per cent of non-Pride Cup clubs.

The report found, 38 per cent of Pride Cup players witnessed their teammates use homophobic language in the past two weeks, compared to 73 per cent at non-Pride Cup clubs.

While 38 per cent of Pride Cup players surveyed felt they were likely to witness teammates using homophobic language in the future, compared to 57 per cent at non-Pride Cup clubs.

Singing against tyranny

By Cam Lucadou-Wells One of Australia’s great singers and songwriters Archie Roach says he’s more a story-teller than a politician.

“We as a people – First Nations people – we don’t have a monopoly on suffering and trauma,” says Roach – who is touring a show based on his recent memoir Tell Me Why. The memoir includes memories of his time living at Mt Evelyn and Mooroolbark and attending Lilydale High School.

“Everyone needs to traverse that landscape and to rise above that,” said Roach.

“So that’s why I’m less political and more universal.

“When you get to the crux, it’s about your story – and how the powers-that-be can destruct your life.

“That’s what it’s about - standing up to that tyranny.”

Roach spent some of his teenage years in Mt Evelyn and Mooroolbark living with foster parents, Alex and Dulcie Cox. The family had a holiday “shack” at Mt Evelyn and Roach writes that the family would pile into a car and “drive over to Mt Evelyn, now engulfed by urban sprawl but back then consisted of miles of bush interrupted by a few shacks with no power“.

“Dad Alex owned one of those shacks, nestled among gum trees. There was a fish filled creek nearby that I’d throw a line into. I loved that Mt Evelyn place.“ In the 1960s when his foster father retired and shortly after suffered a nervous breakdown and Dulcie began to suffer physically with diabetes, “money got tight and we sold our home, shifting into the bush shack in Mount Evelyn that used to be our holiday place”, writes Roach.

“While in Mt Evelyn, Mum and Dad Cox’s health declined even further. We were there a year before moving to nearby Mooroolbark.”

Roach enrolled at Lilydale High School and has fond memories of the friends that he made there.

“Although there were limits to the social standing of a ’black bastard’ in high school, I had great friends at my new school Lilydale High, friends I really cared about. There was a Dutch kid named Hank, an independent soul

Archie Roach returns to The Drum with songs and stories from his memoir Tell Me Why. Picture: ADRIAN COOK who refused to compete in anything and spoke with a creamy accent, a girl with cerebral plasy who had callipers on her legs, and another slight, very smart boy who we called The Brain.

“It was only with these friends that I would stand up for myself. I couldn’t bear seeing these good kids disappear into themselves after a barrage of insults and cackles. I didn’t care what poeple had to say to me, but if you picked on my friends I would fight. I was small but wiry and athletic, and I had will.

“I remember one instance when an older kid cornered Hank telling him that he was going to beat him black and blue. Then he looked me up and down and said, ‘You, maybe just blue’.

“You can laugh. I did. You have to laugh.

“I fought that kid, bu don’t remember the outcome. I ended up fighting a bit at school, though I would always mind my own buisness any time I could. I wasn’t there to fight; I was

there to do sport and English and art.”

It was while in class at Lilydale High in 1970 that Roach received a letter that would change his life.

It was from his sister, Myrtle, telling Roach that his biological mother, Nellie, had died.

“The boy I started the day as would have handed the letter back and explained that he’d made a mistake. He would have said this letter wasn’t for him and he would have gone back to his class, back to his schoolwork, back to his house where his guitar and supper and parents were waiting for him.”

Instead he opened the letter, which sent him on a quest to find the truth about his origins and would eventually lead to some of his most poignant songs.

Roach is sharing stories and songs from Tell Me Why during a national tour. Shows included Melbourne gigs in Upwey and Dandenong last week.

“It’s almost like we’re around a kitchen table having a yarn – that’s the idea of the show,” he said.

Which is how he recorded his first album Charcoal Lane 30 years ago - around the kitchen table.

His signature songs such as Charcoal Lane and Took The Children Away are now widely known.

But it certainly wasn’t the case for his debut performance as a support act for Paul Kelly at Hamer Hall.

He was stunned how huge the packed house was. But each song he played was met with a vast silence.

At the end of the set, he thought: “Oh blow it.”

“Thank you very much anyway,” he told the audience as he walked off stage.

Sporadic claps started. They built into a “big thunder” of applause filling the theatre.

An amazed Roach later asked audience members and singers Vika and Linda Bull why the delayed reaction.

“We were all stunned,” they said. “The songs about children taken away and people dying in jail – people hadn’t come across songs like that.”

Roach thought: “Wow, what a response.

Maybe I’ve got a chance.”

He reflects that unfortunately the themes he sung about happen across the world – and still happen.

Thirty years on, Aboriginal deaths-in-custody disturbingly is a prominent problem. It has been the subject of a Royal Commission yet “we’re still talking about it today, for goodness’ sake”.

“It’s still happening - I get so tired of it.”

His love for music started at his foster family. Alex, a Scotsman, had an inspiring collection of LPs – not just of “ballads and bagpipes” but great black American singers like Nat King Cole and Otis Redding.

His foster sister Mary played a Hammond organ before it was popular, he says. It was shipped from overseas. They would sing hymns and other songs together in the home.

Tell Me Why by Archie Roach is available at bookshops and at local libraries.

The CFA pauses to remember its firefighting heroes

By Taylah Eastwell With International Firefighters Day falling on 4 May, the CFA honoured all its fallen members and thanked all volunteer firefighters for their heroic efforts.

International Firefighters’ Day is a global event started by CFA members in 1999 following the tragic death of five CFA firefighters in Linton the previous year. It coincides with the Feast of St Florian’s Day – the patron saint of firefighters.

CFA Chief Officer Jason Heffernan said the day marks an important day to remember the 80 CFA members who have died in the line of duty since the organisation’s in-

ception 76 years ago.

“Every day across Victoria, our firefighters selflessly give their time to serve and protect their communities,” he said.

“Tragically, too many members have lost their lives doing so.

“They are forever in the hearts and minds of everyone at CFA and the Victorian community,” Mr Heffernan said.

In District 13 alone, there are 12 names on the honour roll of firefighters who have lost their lives battling blazes across the broader Hills and Yarra Valley areas.

In what is described as the worst bushfire outbreak since the Black Friday fires of 1939, Healesville police urged residents to leave as the fire swept towards town.

“But, in bitter irony, Malcolm Barber had already lost his life on that fateful Sunday, to a call-out that proved to be a false alarm.

He died and his crew were all injured when their truck left a local road and smashed into a tree,” a CFA statement reads.

An annual memorial service for fallen members was held on Sunday 2 May at the Sofitel in Melbourne’s CBD. Following the service, attendees visited the new Emergency Services Memorial in Treasury Gardens.

OPINION

Our community matters On 25 April, I joined thousands of residents at numerous ANZAC Day services across our community to pay respects to all men and women who have served, and still serve, to protect our country and freedoms. Especially those who’ve paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we may live and be free. The Lilydale dawn service was special, it being the first service since the war memorial was lovingly restored with its new marble soldier. And, the Seville service marked a significant day in our Yarra Valley history, with the unveiling of the new, innovatively designed war memorial. Wonderfully, many children attended these services to pay respects to those whose courage and bravery defeated tyranny and hate – it falls to us and our children to ensure their legacy will never be forgotten. Thank you to all the volunteers

From my

desk Bridget Vallence Evelyn MP at Lilydale RSL, Mt Evelyn RSL, Mooroolbark Historical Society, Wandin Rotary and Seville Township Group for your efforts coordinating these services.

On 20 May, the State Government will hand down its 2021-22 Budget – a real test to see

whether the needs of Yarra Valley and Lilydale district communities will be met. Last year, Labor massively failed our community with not one new project and not one new dollar. And, as we emerge from the COVID pandemic and one of the worst years ever for our local tourism and hospitality businesses, calls for a Yarra Valley tourism strategy still fall on deaf ears, and most of our local primary schools completely missed out on new COVID stimulus and minor capital works grants despite meeting all the criteria.

As new Skyrail stations at Mooroolbark and Lilydale replace boom gates with traffic lights, and the Lilydale train line still being notorious for cancellations and poor punctuality, our community deserves to have transport infrastructure bottlenecks between Mooroolbark

Slick thriller

Memories of ‘Dixie’ In 1972 I was embarking upon my first year of teaching. I’d also joined a regularly working band (mid-week gigs till 3am and a class next day were a heady, if possibly unwise combination!) In winter that year as I was driving my Mini Minor loaded with drums up to to Mt.Buller I noticed a small rural school perched on top of a cutting. ‘I’d like to teach there,’ I thought and sure enough, five years later I became the head teacher of Dixons Creek Primary School.

Two teachers and 52 kids, 36 of whom from Grades 3 to 6 I taught in the small original classroom (shown in last week’s ’Looking Back’ article by Helen Mann); no specialist teachers or clerical assistance to allow for preparation or administration time. But they were three wonderful years with many lasting friendships, not to mention, more musical connections established. My home has been the beautiful Yarra Valley ever since.

A couple of years ago I attended a ’back to’ at the still thriving school. Though pupil numbers were much the same as in my time, at the official ceremony I was startled to realise that a sizeable group standing with the principal was made up of other staff and support personnel. Now, sadly the result of the ever-fluctuating enrolments that bedevil rural schools, ’Dixie’ has closed. That old building on the hill is home now only to memories of nearly 150 years of service to its community.

Camping concerns Cindy McLeish’s opinion piece in the Star Mail two weeks ago discussed the problems around regulations that were drafted to accompany legislation that would permit more camping on regulated watercourse lands meaning on properties that had stream front licences.

Cindy’s article was timely and jolted a number of people into making submissions to Engage Victoria about the draft regulations. The legislation was passed a year ago but many people who had put a lot of effort into restoring

vegetation on their stream frontages, lobbied politicians to oppose the legislation. When the legislation was passed, we were told our next opportunity for input would be to comment on the regulations when these were drafted.

Cindy certainly articulated many of the problems with the legislation and the draft regulations.

One positive aspect of the regulations is that camping in the 20 metre riparian strip that many people have revegetated will not be permitted. While other regulations seem reasonable, there are major issues with enforcement of the regulations and educating user groups about the regulations. Not all user groups would be familiar with regulations before they venture into the outdoors or even know they might exist. Some of the regulations are quite outrageous allowing people to camp

up to 28 days on a site and there are no specified limits to the number who can camp.

One has to ask what was the real agenda behind these regulations? If the government really wanted to extend camping opportunities there are many other options such as improving facilities at existing sites or increasing sites in town camp grounds near to popular outdoor areas. There are clues to the real rationale for the legislation from the Engage Vic website on these regulations where there is reference to a fisheries app that will be the main public communication tool. Surely there are better ways of improving opportunities for fishing in some contentious areas rather than this legislation that has caused a lot of public anxiety and applies to the whole state.

Evelyn Feller, Chum Creek

Wrath of Man is a tense, slick but nihilistic thriller carried away with its own darkness.

When armed robbers hit a routine cash delivery, the stoic, unassuming H (Jason Statham) resolves to find the people who murdered his son.

Wrath of Man has workmanlike camerawork and editing, and the harsh action sequences are easy to follow while generating a strong sense of mounting chaos. Despite some confusing jumps in time, H and the robbers’ plot-threads converge effectively in the climactic heist. This taut heist is interspersed with the robbers detailing the plan beforehand, cleverly juxtaposing the clean plan with its violent breakdown.

But Wrath of Man’s characters rob us of any goodwill from the solid production and plotting.

H is clearly motivated by his son’s murder, but Statham’s persona is too blunt and flat to engage, and H commits startlingly cold-blooded yet matter-offact acts in his quest for information.

The robbers, established later in the second act, are instantly more likeable and more deeply-characterised than H, but end up killing so many people and turning on each other in the final heist.

Antiheroes are rarely heroic, but may do the wrong things for the right reasons or captivate us with their ambition and charisma. Wrath of Man features such offhanded brutality from every major character that none of them are even slightly sympathetic.

Grim narratives have their place, but Wrath of Man is well-made yet pointlessly grim.

- Seth Lukas Hynes

and Lilydale fixed properly. In Parliament I’ve consistently called for funds to be allocated to increase car parking at Lilydale Train Station, duplicate the rail track between Mooroolbark and Lilydale, build a new train station at Kinley, and fix the Mooroolbark and Hull Road bridge single-lane bottleneck.

I also called for much-needed funds for building maintenance and upgrades at Seville, Birmingham (Mt Evelyn), Manchester and Bimbadeen Heights (Mooroolbark), and Wandin North Primary Schools.

And, I’ll keep fighting to get the dangerous roads at Maroondah Highway and Killara Road Coldstream, and Warburton Highway Seville East, fixed before another tragedy. Our community matters!

Bombers crush the Blues

By Jed Lanyon Emerald made a dominant display in AFL Outer East action over the weekend by defeating Seville by 114 points.

Rogan Goonan and Jake Pedder each kicked five goals as Emerald opened up a 51 point halftime lead to put the game away early.

From there, the Bombers piled on 13 second half goals to Seville’s three in a crushing victory.

The big win was Emerald’s first for the year and saw the Bombers jump four spots on the Division One Seniors ladder and nearly double their percentage to 118.94.

Prior to the first bounce, both teams held a minute of silence to pay respect to longtime Seville trainer Cheryl Groen, who sadly passed away recently.

“We will miss your blunt sense of humour, your laugh, your dancing, your sh*t talking and just you in general,” a club spokesperson said.

Cheryl was a trainer at the Blues for the past 18 years.

Emerald: 6.2, 11.7, 17.11, 24.13 - 157 Seville: 2.4, 3.4, 5.6, 6.7 - 43 Emerald Goals: J. Pedder 5, R. Goonan 5, P. Chin 4, J. Donadel 3, L. Hoye 3, C. Karacsonyl, M. Livermore, J. Donders, E. Grose Best: N. Jansen, L. Hoye, J. Pedder, J. Donders, R. Goonan, M. Livermore Seville Goals: M. Cecere 2, M. Petracca, N. O’Keefe, L. Williams, J. Melchlorre Best: M. Cecere, J. Nolan, N. O’Keefe, C. Niclasen, D. Nai, J. Myers.

Ranges fall to Chargers

By Jed Lanyon

Eastern Ranges captains El Chaston and Bridget Deed addressing the team after their finals loss.

Picture: JED LANYON

The Eastern Ranges Under 19 Girls NAB League journey came to an end on Saturday after their preliminary final loss to the Oakleigh Chargers.

Oakleigh proved too strong for the Ranges, holding them to just one goal and nine behinds for the game.

The Chargers proved inaccurate as well booting 6.10 as both teams failed to convert opportunities under immense pressure.

Georgia Wilson kicked the Ranges’ only goal late in the first quarter where they held

a one point lead at quarter time.

A big third term from the Chargers saw them kick two goals and hold a commanding 20 point third quarter lead in the lowscoring affair.

Mia Busch led all players with 24 disposals and seven marks in a strong defensive performance, while Sarah Humm and Izzy Khoury fought hard laying seven and six tackles respectively.

Eastern Ranges Goals: G. Wilson Best: M. Busch, K. Sherar, G. Walsh, J. Hoskin, G. Campbell, R. O’Dwyer

Golf champs crowned at Healesville and Warburton Healesville Social Golf Club Inc. Greg Hay (22) managed to win the day with a solid 37 points Stableford. Greg Urquhart (14) came in a close second with 36 points and Laurie Tormey (14), a few points further back, got 33 points for third. Nearest the pins were hit by Grant Handasyde, Ken Arnott, Greg Urquhart and Greg Hay. Grant Handasyde won the Skins hole (10) while the Secret Holes (2,4,14 and 15) was won by Greg Urquhart 18 MAIL

with 11 points.

Karl Hradsky Warburton Golf Club With a sensational Nett 65, Lynda Dickson left the rest of the field in her wake at the Stroke and M.McGrann Bag Day on 5 May. Dickson now qualifies for the bag playoff in November. The next best result was P. Kennedy with a Nett 69, while there were four who recorded a Nett 69. Balls only extended to Nett 70. NTP’s

went to A.J. (3rd and 9th), Peter Fox (11th and 12th) and to Junior Garside (15th).

The results of the third round of Club Championships are done and dusted with David Lever the A-Grade Nett winner (66), who nearly scored a hole-in-one on the tough 12th. B-Grade went to the perennial evergreen Alan Johnson, who had the best score on the day, with a stunning Nett 64. Kevin Conway took home the C-Grade voucher with a Nett 68. The daily runner-up was the unlucky Geoff

Fall, who recorded a Nett 65. Balls were won by those who had a Nett 71, or better. No NTP winners are available at this stage.

Club Championship winners, through the grades are Paul Mason, for his 10th title. Dave Wappett is the B-Grade champion. Tex Van Der Kooi led from start to finish to take out the C-Grade title. Kim Kennedy is once again the ladies champion, while Seth Spencely is the junior champion this year.
