Get ready to learn about Geelong’s sewer system with the Museum of Modern (f)Art open for an explosive day this weekend.
Kids of all ages and their families can visit the Ryrie Street museum on Saturday, June 21, to learn about how they can keep their toilets healthy.
“People can come along and have this wonderful fun experience and it’s all free,” Barwon Water’s acting head of communications and engagement Cassie Milner said.
Eden and Violet are pictured with a toilet sewerage system, one of the museum’s interactive activities where people can flush the wrong thing down the toilet and see what happens.

Golden florist win
By Matt Hewson
A local floristry apprentice could be heading to Shanghai next year after taking gold at a national competition last weekend.
Charlotte Follett, 20, won the gold medal for floristry at the National Worldskills Championships at Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre on Sunday, June 15 after three days of competition.
Having won through the regional round, Ms Follett faced off against seven other top young florists from around the country as part of the wider Worldskills competition, which saw more than 600 young people compete.
Though not yet confirmed, Ms Follett will almost certainly travel to Shanghai in September 2026 to represent Australia at the international level of the competition.
Ms Follett said while she had been hopeful of doing well in the competition, it was “just so crazy” to be awarded the gold medal in front of thousands of people.
“It’s a pretty big deal, and competing at the national level is probably something I only get to do once,” she said.
“When we got up to the podium... just looking out over the crowd, it was so surreal.
“Then they called bronze and silver and I was like, oh my goodness. I’m on top of the podium, I’ve won gold. My heart was going
wild, it was nuts.“
She said it took some time to sink in that she would likely be going to Shanghai next year.
“I’m pretty nervous about it, if I do get to go; the floristry overseas is nuts,” Ms Follett said. “But getting to network with overseas florists would really be a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I would be so grateful if I get to go.”
Ms Follett was hired as an apprentice by Jacinta Young, who runs Jacinta’s Flower Studio in East Geelong and is a former National Worldskills silver medallist.
Three years ago Ms Young advertised a full-time apprentice position. Ms Follett applied, but could only offer limited hours
and a school-based apprenticeship.
“I didn’t quite have the right role for her… but she showed such initiative that we found her a position in the shop,” Ms Young said.
ShesaidMsFollettwas“verydiligentand thorough” and “beautiful with customers”.
“She’s excellent, and we’re really lucky to have her on board,” Ms Young said.
“Charlotte just lives and breathes floristry. She’s always looking at new trends, studying new ways of doing things, and really has a good grasp of how things come together.
“We’re really proud of her. She’s worked really hard and she deserves everything that comes her way.”
Creamery Rd gets go ahead
A report from the Minister for Planning has revealed strong potential to increase developablelandnearBellPostHill.
It comes after the City of Greater Geelong released the Standing Advisory Committee’s(SAC)Volume1reportintothe draft Creamery Road Precinct Structure Plan(PSP)andDevelopmentContributions Plan (DCP), following granting approval forpublication.
The report also said the project could reduce infrastructure levies, offering a clear opportunity to improve development efficiencyandaffordabilityintheprecinct.
The Creamery Road PSP was adopted in August 2024 and outlines plans for the proposed Creamery Road precinct located in the northeast of the Western Geelong GrowthArea.
The proposed precinct spans 344.57 hectares with approximately 200 hectares being developable, providing space for morethan3500dwellings.
Greater Geelong Mayor Stretch Kontelj OAM said much of the recommended workswereexpected.

Kardinia achieves excellence
A Bell Post Hill secondary school is a sustainability award winner for its students’ efforts in reducing community waste.
Kardinia International College was named the CDS Vic (Container Deposit Scheme Victoria) Excellence School of the Year for the secondary school category duringtheResourceSmartSchoolsAwards.
Senior schoolteacher and co-curricular coordinator Nicole Holton said she was thrilled to see the school’s students recognised for their “amazing actions” to maketheschoolmoresustainable.
“One of the things we try to instill in the students at Kardinia is how important it is to take action and respect not just each other but the environments we live in is critical,” she said. “Earthcore is our sustainability student-led team at the school, and they run the show in terms
of sustainable actions. So, the award was reallyarecognitionoftheirefforts.
“The Earthcore students do an annual audit of the school’s waste. Every year, they take a week’s worth of rubbish and go through it to see if the school community areputtingtheirwasteinthecorrectbins.”
Ms Holton said the Purple Bin Project was introduced to the school, with help from Recycle4Change, to ensure proper recycling of eligible drink containers and raisefundsforsustainabilityprojects.
Minister for Environment Steve Dimopoulos said “Our schools are producing incredibly impressive projects that are delivering real environmental benefits across the state.

Council said it welcomed the SAC’s recommendations, which include refining drainage and transport networks, reviewing open space provisions and strengthening the strategic basis for infrastructureitems.
The DCP levy has been reduced from
$1.59m per hectare when the Creamery Road PSP was first adopted to $1.2m per hectare before the SAC’s report. The final figure is yet to be determined, but further reductionsareanticipated.

“This is an important inquiry because actionstakentodaywillhelptodetermine the future economic success of our state,”
Ms Marchant said.
The state government expects that by 2034 more than 1.4 million new workers will enter the Victorian workforce.
Nearly 1.2 million of those workers - more than 85 per cent - will need a post-secondary qualification to find employment.
“This inquiry will be examining the types of support students need to gain employment in industries that are in demand,” Ms Marchant said. “We’ll be lookingatsupporttoenterTAFEandother vocational routes, as well as pathways to somein-demandoccupationsthatrequire higher education.”
The lower house of the Victorian Parliament agreed to hold the inquiry on May 20 this year, stating the committee must report on its findings by September 30, 2026.
The inquiry is currently accepting public submissions, seeking data from a broad range of people including industry members, employees and students.
“We want to hear from a range of industries that are experiencing workforce shortages, as well as from students and young people so we can understand what influences the direction they choose to take after school,” Ms Marchant said.

“This includes providing information, support and equipment to parents with a disability. When these are implemented, parents thrive caring for their child and feel empowered.”
Ms Young works involves assessing and implementing strategies and equipment for people with disability to increase their participation and
engagement in meaningful everyday activities.
“When parents feel supported, their stress and anxiety around parenting is reduced, and they therefore have a more positive experience in the early stages at home with their baby,” she said.
“This is why I am passionate about continuing this program.”

Refuelling station a first
Australia’sfirstpublichydrogenrefuelling station is open in Geelong to help drive down emissions and lower fuel costs.
Viva Energy’s New Energies Service Station opened on the corner of Princes Highway and Station Street in Corio on Friday, June 13.
The $61.2 million federal and state government project will use renewable electricity and a 2.5-megawatt onsite electrolyser to generate green hydrogen using recycled water from Barwon Water’s Northern Water Plant.
Barwon Water managing director Shaun Cumming said the initiative would help deliver lower operational costs and support a planned transition to decarbonise its vehicle fleet.
“Barwon Water is committed to a sustainable future, and we’re keen to explore hydrogen’s potential as a zeroemission solution for the heavy transport sector,” he said.
“We’re excited to work with Viva Energy and the other vehicle operators on an innovative project that could
deliver lasting benefits for the region and beyond.”
Circular economy infrastructure lead Emily Rahles-Rahbula said the station was designed to refuel 10 trucks or buses consecutively in under two hours at around 15 minutes for each average fill.
“We’re eager to pursue innovations that have the ability to create more efficient and lower emission wastewater treatment,” she said.
“Through the trial we’ll learn more
about the ongoing viability of this process and we look forward to sharing our findings with the wider water sector.” MinisterforEnergyandResourcesLily D’Ambrosio said that bringing renewable hydrogen to commercial transport for the Geelong community was a great achievement. “We are supporting our emerging renewable hydrogen sector to expand and help industries, like transport, reduce their emissions – helping Victoria achieve net-zero emissions by 2045,” she said.

Hunter meets Cats heroes
Hunter Hamilton and his family have been through a lot during the past year after the 8-year-old boy was diagnosed with a rare brain tumour. To put some joy back into his life, Hunter was treated to a special meet-and-greet with his Geelong Cats heroes. Jena Carr sat down with Hunter and mum Kelly to speak about his health journey and the big surprise.
When 8-year-old Hunter Hamilton woke up last Friday morning, he had no idea of the surprise waiting for him.
The young boy and his family made the journeydownfromCranbournetoGeelong on June 13, where he met with his biggest heroes from the Geelong Cats.
Thepastyearhasbeenachallengingtime for the family, with Hunter diagnosed with a rare and non-cancerous brain tumour called craniopharyngioma.
Mum Kelly said Hunter was getting headaches every day throughout August last year, which led her to take her son to the doctor.
“We went out shopping one day and he was fine. All of a sudden, he got a red face and started crying and said, ‘Mum, I’ve got a massive headache. I need to go home’,” she said.
“I knew something wasn’t right, so we went to the doctors, and they ordered an MRI. We had that done and the next day they rang and said we needed to come in to the doctors straight away as his results were back... Unfortunately, he had a mass on his brain.
“He also had clusters surrounding the tumour. They were going to operate and take a small section, but when they (surgeons) got in there, they couldn’t. So, they had to remove a whole side of the tumour.
“For three months after that, he couldn’t doanything.Hewasanactivekidwhothen couldn’t swim, ride his bike, jump on the trampoline,kickafooty,orhitatennisball.
“When he went back to school, he had to stay inside for recess and lunch. He couldn’t go out because we couldn’t afford for him to fall over, get pushed or get hit with a ball.”
Fast forward to February this year, HunterunderwentanotherMRIthatfound the tumour had grown despite the surgery.
“The surgery normally keeps the tumour thathe’sgotdormant,andnothinghappens. Itjuststaysdormant,butunfortunately,his grew,” Kelly said.
“The tumour is inoperable as they can’t take any more out because everything has surrounded itself around it. He’s walking and talking, so they can’t touch it.
“We had to go straight to six weeks of radiation for five days a week. That really broke him. We were in the hospital and he
“His coaches have been amazing. Through the treatment, he still went to training and played games. The coaches knew everythingthatwasgoing on and kept an eye on him.”
Clint Stanaway from Nova 100’s Jase and Lauren breakfast show organised the meet-and-greet with Hunter and the Cats.
Mr Stanaway said he was happy to help provide a “terrific experience for a young man who has done it really tough”.
“He comes from a family of Carlton and Essendon supporters, so he’s actually the outlier of the family, which makes it even more unique and impressive,” he said.
“The experience took him out onto the field where he met every single Geelong player. They all shook his hand and knew his name, which he was really chuffed about.”
A highlight for Hunter on the day was spending time with his favourite player, Jeremy Cameron, who is somebody Hunter wants to be like when he is older.
It felt good and I was a bit surprised (to meet Cameron). He was funny and we talked about his farm. I (also) gave him some goal-kicking tips

really broke down because we just thought it (the tumour and treatments) was over.”
Kelly said Hunter was doing well at the moment but would need to undergo further MRIs and doctor appointments throughout his life to monitor the tumour and the surrounding clusters.
“He’s still getting headaches, but that could be simply from swelling from the radiation, because he only finished that about three weeks ago,” she said.
“We’re lucky that when doctors did a small sample biopsy, and it came back, the tumour wasn’t cancerous. I feel sorry for the parents who are going through a child with cancer.
“It’s horrendous enough not having it. Going into the oncology room where there are kids that do have it is so sad. As terrible as it is with what Hunter is going through, you thank your stars that it’s not worse.”
Outside of medical appointments and school, Hunter loves playing for Nar Nar Goon Football Club. Despite everything he’s been through, Kelly said Hunter doesn’t complain about anything.
“Unfortunately for him, he has to wear a helmet now, which nearly deterred him from playing football because of what kids canbelike,assomemaynotbenice,”Kelly said.
“We were able to find one that was a Geelong helmet so that everything matches. There’s another kid in his league who wears the helmet as well, so he’s not alone.
“It felt good and I was a bit surprised (to meet Cameron). He was funny and we talked about his farm. I (also) gave him some goal-kicking tips,” he said.
“WhatIlikemostaboutfootballisgetting to run around and kick goals. I play for Nar NarGoonbecausethey’rethesamecolours as Geelong.”
Jeremy Cameron said he had a great time meeting Hunter and receiving some goal-kicking practice. The young boy was also treated to a private tour of the club’s rooms at GMHBA Stadium.
“He taught me a few things and actually kicked a couple of really nice dribble kicks from the boundary. He’s got really good skills,” he said.
“Hunter’s a fantastic kid and it was great to have him out here. It was nice to have a really nice day for it and all the boys got around him which was perfect.”
The surprises didn’t stop on Friday, with Nova 100 revealing on-air Monday morning, June 16, that Hunter had been invited back to Geelong later in the season to run out with the Geelong Cats team for a home game.

Celebrating ‘sassy’ dogs with little legs
Geelong’s waterfront will be a swarm of long bodies and little legs as the community and their dogs come together for World Dachshund Day.
The Geelong event features a walk along Eastern Beach from the Geelong Boat House from 11am on Sunday, June 22.
World Dachshund Day’s Ruth Salminen said the event aimed to raise awareness of dachshunds while allowing owners and their dogs to come together for a fun day out.
“It’s a good opportunity to celebrate our long-short dogs on the long-short day. So,
it’s a good day to celebrate,” she said.
“It’s all about having fun with your dogs, getting out of the house, and having a nice flat walk with people who’ve got dachshunds.
“Dachshunds are so small, but they’re sassy... They’re like a baby. They’re first to sit on your lap at night or to go for a walk with you. They just want to be with you all the time.
“They’re a tough little breed and quite quirky. They’re a popular breed but not an easy one to have. They’re quite a demanding breed and love to be with
their owners.
“We’rehopingmostpeoplewillenjoythe day while getting out on a winter morning with their dogs... They’re just a lovely little companion and they’re suited to a lot of homes who can give them that time.”
Geelong owners and their dogs will also have the option to grab a coffee and some food following the walk, with prizes on offer during the event.
Attendance is by a gold coin donation, which will go towards helping Dachshund IVDDSupportAustraliasupportdogswith Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD).

LeisureNetworkssecured$610,000 through the Together More Active program to continue its role in strengthening inclusivity through sport.
Chief executive David Meade said the funding will help Leisure Networks support more clubs and sports to be more “sustainable, accessibleandinclusive”.
“It is a validation of the work we have done over many years and the workwewillsupportintothefuture,” he said. “We know community sport had the potential to improve and changelivesaswellastoimproveand changecommunities.
“We know that many people continue to drop out of sport, often this is because they don’t feel safe, respected or included. These outcomes flow through negatively to mentalandphysicalhealth.”
Member for Geelong Christine Couzens said the funding would help the organisation continue creating space where people could feel welcome and connected through sport.
“Geelong is fortunate to have such a passionate and committed organisation like Leisure Networks, which offers support and opportunitiesforallparticipants.”

No more barriers, period
By Jena Carr
Free pad and tampon vending machines are coming to three Bellarine libraries to remove barriers to education, work and community life.
The new machines will soon be installed in Drysdale, Leopold and Queenscliff as part of the state government’s free pads and tampons program.
Geelong Regional Library Corporation
chief executive Vanessa Schernickau said the new machines would help remove financial and social barriers that “affect people’s participation in daily life”.
“These machines will have a positive impact on the Bellarine community by providing free access to essential hygiene products,” she said.
“Providing free pads and tampons in public spaces like libraries is an important step in reducing period
poverty and supporting health equity.
“It strongly aligns with our values of equity, access and inclusion while ensuring that everyone can find connection, practical support, and dignity when they walk through our doors.”
Minister for Women Natalie Hutchins said one in five women across Victoria struggled to afford the period products they needed each month.
“This rollout means women and girls
right across Victoria won’t have to miss work or school because they can’t afford them,” she said.
“Period products are a basic necessity and we’re making sure women and girls can get them for free, when and where they need them.”
Up to 1500 free pad and tampon machines will be available across the state once the rollout is complete, with 25,000 free packs dispensed in the program’s first six months.

“It fills your heart; you’re looking at everybody, they’re looking at you, and I
could just tell we were doing a really good job. I was really proud of them.”
MsRoypraisedtheensemblemembers’ hard work throughout the year, saying their efforts had paid off.
“We have rehearsals once a week, and we don’t just sing the whole song and that’s it,” she said.
“We look at technique, how to finish phrases, where’s the best place to breathe so we’ve got a continuous sound.
“We also have section leaders… who ran section rehearsals outside of our normal Monday rehearsals as well. So they put in lots of work.”
She said there was a real feeling of sisterhood within the group, and encouraged women of all ages to get in touch if they were interested in joining.

A chance to speak up
By Cr Stretch Kontelj OAM
Itisvitalourcommunityhasaccesstospeak directly with their local representatives, and our Meet Your Councillor sessions have been instrumental in fostering important conversations.
We have hosted these sessions at Wurriki Nyal Civic Precinct a few times thisyearandhavevaluedtheopportunity to discuss matters of concern and answer general questions that our community may have.
These sessions are a fantastic avenue to pose a question without the pressure of public speaking during question time in the council meeting.
The informal environment is also less daunting, offering an approachable space and more one-on-one facetime for residents and councillors.
Many questions raised in past sessions have related to waste collection, animal permits, pothole repairs and road works.
These sessions are also attended by City officers who can provide further insight into specific topics within their remit.
So whether it’s about permit applications, rubbish and roads, the environment, or one of our many council services, somebody in the room can directly assist you or point you in the direction of the best contact.
Community members are welcome to raisequestionsoutsideoftopicstabledfor the June council meeting.
While items on the agenda cannot be
discussed during a Meet Your Councillor session, we can certainly take your feedback on board.
So, if you have a question for me, your ward councillor or a City officer, I look forward to seeing you at our next session
this coming Tuesday.
The next Meet Your Councillor session willtakeplaceinthefoyeratWurrikiNyal CivicPrecinctfrom4.45pmto5.30pm.The June council meeting will follow at City Hall at 6pm.
Community engagement is a huge part of our decision-making process, and we continuously assess how we consult with the community to ensure you feel heard.

Our current policy was created four years ago and expires this year. We want to ensure this updated policy is relevant to the changed needs and expectations of our community today.
We want the new policy to be clear, practical and easy for everyone to understand and it should support meaningful and respectful conversations between the City and our community.
Yourinsightsintothispolicyreviewwill helpshapethedraftdocument,whichwill be presented to council later this year.
If you have attended any of the Meet Your Councillor sessions, taken part in an engagementsurvey,orattendedoneofour pop-upsessionsoutinthecommunity,we would like to hear from you.

Big year so far for Hassall
By Matt Hewson
It’s all happening for Matilda Hassall in 2025.
The singer-songwriter, hailing from GeelongbutcurrentlybasedinMelbourne, ishavingabumperyear.
KnownprofessionallyasHassall,shehas already played a number of international supports this year, including Crash Test Dummies (Canada) and The Scratch (Ireland), as well as performing alongside well-known domestic acts such as Mia WrayandTheBeautifulGirls.
However, June and July mark two huge eventsforHassall-thereleaseofherdebut album, and a national tour with Aussie rocklegendsKillingHeidi.
Speaking earlier this week, she said
touring with Ella Hooper and the other members of Killing Heidi was “going to be crazy”.
“I’m just getting prepared for that now, doing rehearsals and whatnot,” Hassall said.
“Life’s good, I feel like I’ve got some really exciting shows coming up, so that’s probably at the forefront of my mind. And thenI’llbetryingtopromotethisalbum.”
The new album, Means More to Me Than ItDoestoYou,isdueonJuly3.
ItwillfeatureHassal’strademark“Aussie sharehouse pop” tunes, which revolve around everyday themes and the specific joys and challenges of her own personal experiences.
A case in point is her recent single, Overpopulator, which she released a
monthago.
A driving yet clever indie-pop tune, Hassall said Overpopulator was “about drinking too much coffee, feeling like I’m going crazy, and being unsure whether to have kids or not, mainly for environmental reasons”.
“It’s just a love song; it’s about how I can overthink24-7,butattheendofthedayI’m always thinking about whatever boy I have acrushonatthetime,”shesaid.
“The original version sounds almost country-ish, my mum always called it the DollyPartonsongwhenIplayeditlive.
“And I love the finished product… it all justfeelssuperfunandengaging.”

Comedian turns his mum’s disappointments into laughs
By Jena Carr
If you ask any Italian son about their mother,mostwilltellyouthattheirmumis unhappywiththemaboutsomething.
As a 42-year-old unmarried comedian, this is something James Liotta knows all toowell.
Mamma’s (Still) Not Happy is Liotta’s latest version of his first-ever stand-up show,Mamma’sNotHappy.
“The title came from the fact that Italian mums are always unhappy with their sons aboutsomething,fortherestoftheirlives,” hesaid.

“The show features my mum, but not my real mum. It’s my character, the Mamma (Maria Pappagallo), and she opens the show. So, I do my own support act, which manypeopledon’tdo.
“Mamma comes out, which is me, and I do a 30-minute comedy set with her and then we have a little break, and I come on asmyselfanddoa90-minuteshow.”
Liotta decided to bring the show back after it debuted last year for an encore tour with sporadic shows across the country, including at North Geelong’s Sphinx Hotel onJuly5.
“My show has a portion of it that deals
with Italian culture and growing up in an ethnic family, and there’s a lot of ethnic backgroundsinGeelong,”hesaid.
“What I’m really proud of in this show is that there are portions of it that are not relatedtobeinganItalianoranethnicboy. There’s just a lot of observational material andopinionatedcomedy.”

SHETLAND: SCOTLAND’S WONDROUS ISLES
SBS, Friday, 7.35pm
Perhaps best known for its diminutive ponies, Ann Cleeves’ bestselling crime novels or the long-running drama based on them, Scotland’s Shetland Islands are a wonderland of enchanting natural beauty and ancient ruins. Celebrating the picturesque landscapes and the communities and people that call the archipelago home, this five-part doco is narrated by Shetland’s own Duncan Hunter, actor Mark Bonnar. In tonight’s second instalment, we witness another slice of island life as lifelong crofter Pearl prepares for the harvest festival, Winston (pictured) launches an oyster farm and Jan and Pete nurture orphaned seal pups.
SPICKS AND SPECKS
It’s been 20 years since SpicksandSpecksfirst aired and Australia realised that watching famous folk replace song lyrics with completely unrelated texts was TV gold. To celebrate, host Adam Hills and team captains Myf Warhurst and Alan Brough are back with another round of their greatest hits, including “Know Your Product”, “Substitute” and “Sir Mix N Matchalot”. Tonight’s guests include stage and screen powerhouse Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Ball Park Music frontman Sam Cromack and comedians Nina Oyama and Steph Tisdell, with singer-songwriter Sarah Blasko serenading the winning team once all is said and done. Despite giving John Farnham a run for his money in the comeback stakes, this fan favourite still hits all the right notes.

STRANDED ON HONEYMOON ISLAND
Seven, Monday, 7.30pm
If you were marooned on a deserted island, what three things would you bring? A bridal gown, bouquet and a blind date probably aren’t too high on the list, but in this new reality romance series, that’s exactly what you can expect. After a speed dating event, 12 singles are matched up and married, before being dropped off on a remote tropical island with nothing but their formalwear and each other. Completely removed from their lives, technology and distractions, it’s an immersive experience not for the faint-hearted, as the lovelorn participants (including strong-willed bride Amy, pictured) have nowhere to hide – but everything to gain. Radio star Jackie O narrates as sparks fly and campfires aren’t the only thing igniting.

As ubiquitous as award-winning journalist, filmmaker and podcaster Marc Fennell (pictured) might seem on TV, the Mastermindhost is just now making an appearance on this evergreen search for ancestral answers. Fennell is used to helping others uncover their hidden histories, but the time has come to turn the lens on himself. Seeking clarity about his Indian grandparents’ lives and the experiences that shaped them, Fennell starts his exploration in Singapore, before visiting Malaysia to learn more about his great-grandmother and her unique heritage. Then, it’s a long way to Tipperary, where Fennell finds forbidden love and a couple of Irish scandals (and scoundrels) on his father’s side.

The Esk Garden Fair is a perfect day out, and only a little over an hour from Brisbane. Stroll through stalls bursting with native plants, exotic blooms, and handmade garden decor. Pop into a workshop and pick up a few tricks from gardening gurus or simply bask in the laid-back country atmosphere.
Lockyer Powerfest
27 - 29 June, Lake Dyer, Laidley
Fast boats, country eats, and non-stop action — Lockyer Powerfest brings the heat to Lake Dyer this winter. Across three big days, powerboats tear up the water while crowds tuck into food truck favourites, browse market stalls and enjoy live entertainment. Pack the thermos, grab a seat by the water, and let the racing do the talking.
Snowflakes in Stanthorpe 4–6 July, Stanthorpe Showgrounds
Dreaming of a white winter? Stanthorpe’s got the next best thing. Snowflakes in Stanthorpe brings three days of wintry fun with toboggan rides, faux snow, mulled wine, and toasted marshmallows. Browse artisan markets, enjoy live music, and settle in at the International Food Fiesta with a glass of local wine or craft beer.
Jumpers and Jazz in July
17 - 27 July, Warwick
Quirky, colourful, and completely charming - Jumpers and Jazz in July is the perfect winter festival. The streets of Warwick turn into a yarn-lover’s paradise, with trees, bollards, and bikes wrapped in colourful woolly art. But it’s not all about the crochet, there is live jazz music around every corner, boutique markets, and you’ll find art exhibitions and food vendors adding extra colour (and flavour) to the festivities.
Gemfest – Festival of Gems 8–10 August, The Gemfields (Anakie, Sapphire, Rubyvale)
If you’re partial to a little sparkle (and let’s be honest, who isn’t?), make your way to the
Central Queensland Highlands for Gemfest.
This isn’t just a market, it’s a whole world of glittering stones, from rough-cut sapphires to the kind of bling that’d make the Crown Jewels blush. Bring the caravan or book a cosy cabin, then fossick, browse, and bargain to your heart’s content.
Historic Leyburn Sprints 23 and 24 August, Leyburn
Start your engines – or at least your travel
plans – for this classic country motorsport event.
Set in the charming town of Leyburn, the Historic Sprints celebrate the golden age of racing with pre-1950s cars, vintage caravans and a whole lot of character. Whether you’re there for the nostalgia, the cars, or just to dip into the local pub, you’ll find yourself swept up in the atmosphere, that’s for sure.
TOPTIP:Ifyou’reallaboutthatcaravanning
and camping life (queenslandcountrytourism. com.au/itineraries/get-set-for-7-days-on-theroad-and-the-ultimate-caravan-adventure), these events make the ultimate pit stop (or two!) on your road trip adventure.
The cooler months are anything but quiet (or disappointing) across the region and we invite you to explore, by visiting What’s on in Queensland Country.
Fun in the man-made snow at Snowflakes in Stanthorpe - local farmers get up at 2am the day of the festival to start making the snow field. (Qld Country Tourisme)
Grab the winter woolies and head to Warwick for Jumpers and Jazz in July. Where there is oodles of country hospitality and colourful yarn spread throughout the region.
The ever-popular Gemfest.
The Historic Leyburn Sprints - every year vintage car enthusiast gather in the tiny town of Leyburn to race their cars and remember when Queensland hosted the Australian Grand Prix in the town just after the war.
Something a little more sedate - Esk’s beautiful Garden Fest.

Ioniq 5 is well equipped
By Chris Riley, Marque Motoring
The Ioniq 5 is not Hyundai’s first fully electric vehicle, not by a long shot, but it was their first EV based on a dedicated battery-electricplatform.
The look of the car is inspired by Hyundai’s original Pony car, a small hatch from the 1970s that was South Korea’s first mass-producedexportedvehicle.
The dedicated E-GMP electric vehicle platform offers advantages over dual purpose vehicles such as the Kona that are marketed with both electric or internal combustionpowertrains.
In the case of the Ioniq 5 it means a fully flat floor and long three-metre wheelbase that delivers plenty of legroom and a largish boot. Generous rear legroom was achieved by making the front seats about 30percentthinnerthantypicalseats.
Ioniq 5 now shares a platform with the Ioniq 6, Ioniq 9, Kia EV6, Kia EV9 and Genesis GV60. Prices for the Ioniq 5 start from $69,800 before on-road costs. Our test vehicle was the top of the range rear-wheel drive Epiq with a single electric motor,extendedrangebatteryand20-inch wheels,andarangeof530km-pricedfrom $84,300.
Ioniq 5 comes in three grades, Ioniq 5, DynamiqandEpiq,withoneortwoelectric motors and rear- or all-wheel drive along withastandardorextendedrangebattery.
A high performance N model is now also offered priced from a breathtaking $110,000.
Styling
Ioniq 5 received a facelift in July last year, with new look bumpers, a rear spoiler and redesigned wheels etc. A windscreen wiper was also added to the rear window at this time. Inside, the centre console was redesigned to provide easier access to air and seat heating controls. The steering wheel, instrument cluster bezel, multimedia screen, and seat pattern were alsoupdated.
Many of the interior parts are made from recycled materials, including plastic bottles.
The size of the wheels plays a significant role in the ultimate range of the car which currently varies from 440km to a high of 570km.
The N Line sports pack adds $3150 to the price. Premium paint adds $1000, the N Line Pack $2500 and the Digital Mirror Pack$3000.
You might pay for it, but the Ioniq 5 is certainlywellequipped.
Standard kit includes dual-zone climate air, combination wool and leather upholstery, leather-wrapped steering wheel, acoustic laminated windscreen and side door glass, proximity entry with push-button start, power adjust driver seat and two-way manual recline rear seats (fore/aft adjustment, 60:40 split/fold), LED interior lighting and adjustable ambient lighting.
There’salsoa12.3-inchdigitalinstrument cluster, LED headlights, automatic high-beam, traffic sign recognition, auto lights and wipers, auto dimming rear view mirror, heated, power-fold mirrors, remote smart parking and tyre pressure monitoring.
Epiq adds 20-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres, eco-processed leather, smart LED projection headlights, rear privacy glass, rear door sunshades, power-operated tailgate, glass roof with power sunshade, front and rear heated seats, cooling for the front seats, heated steering wheel and two driver-seat memories.
Digital side mirrors are an option, but make sure you try them before you buy them.
Standard warranty is five years with unlimitedkilometres.There’saneight-year, 160,000kmbatteryreplacementwarranty.
Infotainment Infotainment consists of a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth multi-connection, Voice control system, AM/FM and DAB+ digital radio, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluelink connected satellite navigation.
This model also scores Bose premium audio with eight speakers. There’s wireless phone charging and four USB-C ports, Vehicle-to-load (V2L) outlet inside the car and the system now supports over-the-air updates.
Bluelink connected car services, complimentary for five years, includes automaticemergencySOS.
It also allows users to set charge time, monitor distance to empty and can restart chargingifnecessary.
The app allows the owner to find EV charging stations and send the address to thecar’ssatnavigation.

TheIoniq5Epiq(lovethatname)isquick and comfortable with plenty of legroom front and back plus a good-sized boot - all thethingsonelooksforinacar.
As well as the boot there’s storage under the bonnet in the form of a frunk; 57 litres intheRWDand25litresintheAWDwhich ishandyforstoringcables.
It’s got a decent amount of range for an electricvehicletoo,withupto570kmifyou tick the right boxes. In fact, it’s the first EV we’vedriventhatindicatedaninitialrange ofmorethan600kmfullycharged-canyou believeit?
But why you’d option the larger, 20-inch wheels at the expense of driving range doesn’t make sense. Give us the 19s any day!
Anyone with an EV will tell you, it’s all about the range (and where and when you canrechargethecar).
Even though our test vehicle showed 620kmwhenwepickeditup,we’restarting to believe this must be like ‘shop mode’ for TVs (makes them brighter and more vibrant).
That’s because the real range turned out to be 530km - the claimed range anyway. You sacrifice 40km stepping up from 19- to 20-inchwheelsintherear-driveEpiq.
It might not sound much, but it can make a difference when you get down to it. Further, despite the advertising, we’ve never found an EV or charge station that can deliver on the wildly optimistic promises that carmakers make of being abletorechargeinlessthan20minutes.
Itjustdoesn’tpanout;despitethefactwe have a bank of 300kW Tesla Superchargers downtheroad.
And, when did a full charge morph into 80 per cent; keep in mind that a small portion of the battery is reserved for the systemtocontinuefunctioning.
You can charge the battery to 100 per cent using a slower AC charger, but the industryhasdecidedthat80percentisthe mark when it comes to fast DC charging, otherwise it can shorten battery life. The chargeisstoredinan84kWhliquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack in the extended range,80kWhofwhichisuseable.
Ioniq 5 has battery preconditioning to facilitate faster charging. This will take 35
For a car that weighs over 2 tonnes, the Ioniq gets moving. The dash from 0-100km/h takes 7.3 seconds and it has a topspeedof185km/h. Therearefiveselectabledrive modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, My Drive, Snow which have accompanying instrument themes. Adding some drama to the drive experience is a virtual sound system with a choiceofartificialsounds. They’re electronica rather than engine emulations, in case you’re interested. Not manypeopleare.
Brake mode offers another two settings: Normal and Sport. Regenerative braking can be adjusted via the steering wheel mountedpaddles,rightdowntoone-pedal brakingwhichbringsthecartoastopwhen youliftofftheaccelerator.

Be ready to catch it with the brakes because the car is liable to lurch backwards. Fingers over or under? Facing the wrong direction, the pop-out handles areawkwardtouse.
The twist grip gear selector is present in many Hyundais and takes some mastering.
Although putting the car into park requires just the push of a button (which also engages the handbrake), we continually forgot to actually turn off the car.Automaticreverseandparallelparking areavailableifyoufeelgame.
Speed sign recognition is annoying because it sounds a warning when you’re over the limit (like it is supposed to). The trouble is that it is often wrong, displaying a speed limit that does not relate to the currentsurroundings.
With claimed Energy consumption of 16.99 kWh/100km, we bettered that figure at 15.5 kWh after 375km of mixed driving. Thelong-termaverageshowedas15.8kWh after close to 2000km. A quick trip down themotorwayreturned13.2kWh.
Summing up
The Ioniq 5 is an impressive car and one of thefewEVsthatwewouldconsiderbuying. It doesn’t chew through the battery too quickly and with 530km of range, more if you’re sensible and opt for the smaller 19-inch wheels, it compares favourably withaconventionalcar.
But at just over $90,000 by the time you put it on the road, it’s just too damned expensive, at least for the average consumer. Even the base model is $75,000 driveaway.
ThisfromHyundai?
We’re not rich, and we’re not poor, but we baulk at the prospect of spending this much on a car, especially one that could quicklybecomeoutdatedasthetechnology continues to evolve. Then there’s the charging infrastructure to consider, which quite frankly isn’t there yet. Remember how much we used to pay for flat screen TVsandwhattheycostnow?

Grubbers dig deep for win
By Justin Flynn
Ocean Grove had to draw on all its talent and experience to defeat an impressive Torquay on Saturday.
Torquay led at every change including by four at the last and were energetic and their defensive game was on.
Ocean Grove welcomed back Zanna Woodsfrominjuryandshestartedatwing attack, but was soon moved to goal attack, swapping places with Ashton O’Brien.
Daisy O’Kane (33 goals) and Kate Schippers (19) played well in attack for the Tigers.
The Grubbers found their groove in the
last quarter as good sides do.
Arlee Bennett was a constant threat undertheringallgamewiththeyoungster netting 25 goals from 33 attempts.
The Grubbers started forcing turnovers in the last quarter and Woods simply didn’t miss. She would end with 29 goals and missed just three.
The umpires’ whistle was heard constantly throughout the game, which was physical, but fair.
In the end Grove won 55 to 53 to stay unbeaten, but there was a lot to like about the Tigers.
Bridget Aighton was great at centre and Erica Schippers did her best to quell
the influence of Woods, who was the difference in the end.
Queenscliff put the season ending injury to Kaitlin Gladman behind it with a 60 to 40 win against Anglesea.
The third-placed Coutas were well served by Felicity Rush at wing defence and goal shooter Phoebe Knox who shot 37 goals.
Goalers Ariana Luamanu and Jessica Croker were named best for the Seas.
Alyce Delaney spearheaded Drysdale to an eight-goal win against Barwon Heads.
Delaney was immense at goal attack with 32 goals from 35 attempts and Mia Fallon patrolled the midcourt.
Perri Jones and Krystal Baker (31 goals) were best for the Seagulls.
Midcourter Georgia Duncan starred in Geelong Amateur’s big win against Modewarre.
Lauren Lapsley was busy at goal attack and youngster Louise Shaw continued her run of good form at wing attack.
For Modda, Keeley Cox tried her best at goal shooter with 16 goals and Alexandra Leng was good at wing defence.
Portarlington kept its finals hopes alive with a four-goal win against Newcomb.
Defender Laura Robinson was best and Hannah Branson moved well.

Heal’s move to the WNBL’s newest franchise is expected to be confirmed later on Monday ahead of the new season set to begin in spring.
United will hope Heal’s arrival can help hoist the club up the ladder following a second-last placed finish after they overtook the Melbourne Boomers’ WNBL licence this year.
“I’m really excited to be a part of the club,” Heal said.
“I feel like I’ve got an opportunity to help women’s basketball to take a step forward and keep growing in Geelong and the outer regions.”
Notonlywasitthecityitselfthatdrew
ShylatosigninginGeelong,butalsothe belief in ownership and direction of the club.
“I had meetings with Chris (Lucas) and the ownership and they really sold me on the club’ vision,” she said.
“Chris is a very experienced coach and I’m excited to play for him. What also drew me to Geelong was the girls I will be playing with. I went to the AIS with a few of the girls already on the team, Jaz, Gemma, Ellissa and Taylor, so that was a positive for me because I know we will have a great culture with great people around and also have a chance to seriously compete.”
At Geelong, Heal is expected to wear the No.23 jersey that father Shane donned during his three-year stint at now-defunct NBL club Geelong Supercats between 1989 and 1991.
Section 3 Open teams jostle for the top ladder positions
Donna Schoenmaekers
Teams were glad that skies were clear this weekend, after the downpours over the long weekend and players made the most of the cool conditions.
Section 3 Open has been close all season and this week saw four teams change position with the outcome of various matches, however, Grovedale Black consolidated their position on top with a 4-0 win over Lara.
In the singles, Andre Attard and Ella Hill prevailed in straight sets while Hill and Beau Attard were pushed to a super tie-break in the first doubles, eventual winners 10-3.
The Attard brothers then proved too good for the Caddy brothers in the final rubber, extending Grovedale’s lead, and Lara slipping a little further from fourth.
Moolap posted their first win for the season, when they hosted All Saints, and did so in style.
MaceyPurdueandCarmineArmantegot the team going winning the first doubles 6-4, 6-0 while Joel Wilson battled through his singles, getting over the line 14-12 in a
super tie-break. Amarante backed up his doubles win with a win in the reverse singles, while Wilson and Purdue wrapped up the clean sweep in the doubles.
It was father versus son when Hamlyn Park hosted Grovedale Yellow, and to the younger went the spoils. Lachie Smith, teaming with Alfie Oliver against dad Andrew and Tom Sutherland, slugged it out in the first set with Smith junior and Oliver eventually winning in a
tie-break, before taking control and the second 6-1.
Finn Stewart took a close first set 6-4 in the singles, before Taj de Clifford fought back winning the second 6-0. Stewart steadied to win the super tie-break 10-6 to take the rubber.
Smith senior avenged his loss in the doubles with a win over Oliver 6-4, 6-0 putting Grovedale on the board while Stewart continued his long day with Smith junior against Sutherland and de Clifford.
Grovedale took the first set 6-2 before HamlynParkfoughtbacktotakethesecond 6-4, then finishing 11-9 ahead in the super tie-break, finishing with the setting sun at 5.30pm. The win pushed Hamlyn Park into second.
It was a day of two halves for Clifton Springs and Barwon Heads, where Jarrod Cairncross and Rebekah Schoenmaekers battled to a super tie-break 6-2, 4-6, 11-9, while on the other court Troy and Remy Cairncross got over the line 2-6, 6-3, 10-6 over Ted Reid and Dex Taylor, putting the Springs ahead two rubbers to love.
In the reverse singles, Troy Cairncross started well, up 4-1 before injury struck and forced his retirement, joining the Heads’ Paddy Moulton on the sidelines, after Moulton broke his wrist during the week.
The match would now come down to the final rubber with Clifton Springs ahead two rubbers to one, but Barwon Heads up four sets to two, the winner would decide the match.
In the end Taylor and Schoenmaekers made short work of it winning 6-0, 6-1, giving them the win, and pushing them ahead of the Springs, moving into third.

Anakie in the five after victory
By Justin Flynn
Anakie finds itself in unfamiliar territory, fourth on the Geelong & District Football League ladder and with a huge test to come this weekend against East Geelong.
But with almost nothing separating the Roos from ninth placed Inverleigh, coach Jayke Mawson knows there is still a lot of drama to unfold.
“I think they’re (East Geelong) the best team in the comp,” Mawson said.
“And they will be a massive test for us, obviouslycomingoffthreewinswe’repretty excited to see how we’ll go against someone who we rate very highly.
“We’ve got a few back in as well so we’ll see exactly where we’re at.”
With just one win across three seasons from2021-23,EastGeelongwouldrepresent a huge scalp, but the Roos have already knocked off a previously unbeaten Belmont and lost narrowly to reigning premier Thomson.
“At the moment, we’re pretty happy with how we’ve been competing,” Mawson said.
“It’sagoodsign.Wethinkourbestisright upthereandgoodenoughtobecompetitive withanyofthegoodsides.Butthisweekwill probably be the biggest we’ve had.”
After this round, Anakie has three games against lower ranked teams - the dangerous Inverleigh, Corio, which won the corresponding round 1 fixture, and Geelong West.
However, Mawson knows the evenness of the competition means there is no point looking too far ahead.
“It’s a tight squeeze,” he said.
said. “He’s been pushed up into the ruck. Obviously he’s a gun key forward but he’s been playing in the ruck. He did it in the interleagueaswellandhe’sanotheravenue we have.
“Just the way that he can get the ball at ground level and how explosive he is with his change of pace. We’re pretty happy to have him.”
THOMSON inflicted North Geelong’s first loss of the season with a one-point thriller. Andrew Jarvis was superb in the ruck while Billie Smedts found plenty of the ball and Darcy Troop booted four goals.
WERRIBEE Centrals continued its resurrection with a 17-point win against Bannockburn. Key defender Liam Robertson was best for the Centurions while Bailey Kelly was best for Banno with four goals.
INVERLEIGH showed that it can’t be discounted for the finals with a 100-point winagainstCoriowithScottCondybagging six majors and Guy O’Keefe five. Despite the margin, Corio still had 19 shots on goal and were far from disgraced with Blake Natoli-West named best.
BELMONT returned home from Winchelsea with a 20-point win with Ben Evans starring with four goals.
“There’s no game you go into and think that we should win this easily. But we do think that in the next block or so, we should be really pushing to cement our spot and then see how we go from there.”

Young Roos hopping along nicely in race to GDNL finals

Anakie’s young Joeys are showing signs of improvingontheirnine-winrecordfromlast season, but coach Doug Mitchell knows the end game is a long process.
The Roos finished two games outside the top five last season and although Mitchell has faith that his young side can improve on that, he said the learning process is more important - at least in the short term.
“We lost three of our tallest players from last year and the league’s second-highest scorer, so we lost a bit of height,” he said.
“So we’re not a very tall team this year, but we’ve got the youth. I’ve got a couple of new young girls - a 15-year-old shooter (Merania Tippett) and a 16-year-old defender (Mikayla Tito). I think we’ve got seven that could still play in the Under 19 competition.”
Mitchell said it would take “12 or 13 wins to make finals” this season.
“The longer we play together the better connections we can get,” he said.
“It’s funny this year because we’ve got a few young girls so they have their off game where they’re just put under a little bit too much pressure by the bigger bodies.
“But I think they’re learning from that and even if we get beaten by the big teams, it’s good learnings for them.”
While the Roos are only outside the top five by percentage, they face a huge test against second-placed East Geelong this Saturday.
“I was talking to their coach at the interleague match and they’ve got a couple of their shooters away (this week),” Mitchell said. “I’m preparing my girls well this week. No shooting over the hands, we’re going
to try to have a moving circle and shooting circle.
“Weworkedonourboxofdefence,which seemedtoworkwellagainstBellPostHillso it’s about trying to stop the balls from going so fast to their shooters.”
Anakie overcame a tenacious Bell Post Hill on the weekend 55 to 42 to put a twogame game between the two sides on the ladder.
“We’re underdogs in most of the games we play so we’re not expected to beat everybody,” Mitchell said. “So it just means we’vegottoworkalittlebitharder. Butourexpectationsaredefinitely rising.”
BELMONT Lions defeated Winchelsea 58 to 44 with Ella Wasik superb in attack and Molly Gribble again starring at wing attack against Zoe Tennant, who was Winch’s best.
Four goals to Oscar Barter, who was coming off a starring role in the interleague clash the week before, three each to Josh Alessi and Andrew Boseley plus a couple of each from Luke Dahlhaus and Jay Lever means the Roos have firepower. “He (Barter) just loves footy,” Mawson
EAST Geelong proved too good for Geelong West, but it took a final quarter blitz to achieve it. The Eagles led by 14 points at the last break, but booted 5.7 to zero in the last with Sam Lowe starring and former Newcomb gun Andrew Steele booting four goals.
INVERLEIGH defeated Corio 37 to 22 with defender Bailey Ryan best.
TOP side Thomson showed no mercy on bottom side North Geelong with an 80 to 10 win. Bree Caldwell (45 goals) and Emma Witham (33) were good in the ring while Camden Riccardi withstood the onslaught at goal defence for the Magpies.
EAST Geelong smashed Geelong West 72 to 13. Claudia Cook was great at wing defence and Mary Waldron shot 44 goals. Kirsten Martin did her best for the Giants in defence.
WERRIBEE Centrals stayed in touch with the top five with a 47 to 30 win against Bannockburn. Goal defence Mikaela Minns did well for Banno while Alual Garang was named best for Centrals.
