Taking over reins: Russell Mowatt (left) and Roger Jukes have pledged to listen closely to the community.

‘Four mayors in life of council’

BY ANGELA VALENTE

‘I have worked with a lot of community groups and we all work well as a team, we share the workload and we share the rewards.’ — Cr Russell Mowatt

BETTER community consultation and communication are high on the priority list for the new Macedon Ranges mayor.

Cr Roger Jukes, who begins his second term on the council representing the west ward, has also flagged he will occupy the top post for just a year compared with the two-year term of the previous mayor.

He told the Weekly that planning, environment and communication policies would be reviewed in the year ahead. ‘‘We’ll be looking at our communication strategy with the public, and our consultation process will certainly be up for review,’’ Cr Jukes said. ‘‘Communities across the shire have said there’s certain areas we’re lacking in a bit. ‘‘Planning is an ongoing concern and we’ll be looking at that as well as the day-to-day running of the shire of this size.’’

Cr Jukes, a Kyneton resident, admits to having his eyes set on the mayoral role. ‘‘It’s a new dimension of local government for me. ‘‘There’s a lot to learn again and I’m very excited about it,’’ he said. ‘‘I think this time around we’ll see four different people in the [mayor’s] seat through the life of this council. ‘‘It’s good that everyone has the opportunity to do it and it builds a stronger council, I think.

“There is a great deal of enthusiasm among this new council, including five new councillors with lots of new ideas.’’

Cr Russell Mowatt, beginning his first term as a councillor representing the south ward, will take on the role of deputy mayor. ‘‘I have big support for Roger. Council’s ethos is team and collaboration, and I think that’s very important for any group. ‘‘We have to be inclusive of the community and listen to the community. I have worked with a lot of community groups and we all work well as a team; we share the workload and we share the rewards.’’

Macedon Ranges Residents Association secretary Christine Pruneau said councillors Jukes and Mowatt had the responsibility for leading the way on changes outlined by the mayor. ‘‘We wish them well, and look forward to seeing those changes put in place.’’

All nine councillors were sworn in on Wednesday, October 31. The first council meeting is on November 28 at 7pm at the Romsey Hub, 96-100 Main Street.

For victim of abuse, moment of truth arrives wards a chance to be recognised for their long suffering.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard last Monday announced that a royal commission would investigate child abuse, and how it was dealt with, in churches, schools and foster homes.

Victoria’s state parliamentary inquiry is already looking into the Catholic Church’s handling of sexual abuse by the clergy.

Thousands of non-profit groups, including sports clubs and Scout troops, will be covered by the royal commission, which will extend beyond the Catholic Church and other religious orders that have been the focus of sex abuse concerns in the past.

Noni said that when she was in the care of the Salvation Army she was molested by a man who broke into the orphanage.

While she doesn’t want any

BY STEPHANIE ZEVENBERGEN A HUME resident who endured 15 years in state care has welcomed the federal government’s announcement of a royal commission into child abuse.

Noni, now 70, who does not want her surname published, was a ward of the state from when she was 14 months old until she was 16.

Her mother died when she was nine months old and her father, an alcoholic, was unable to care for her and her eight brothers and sisters.

In 1943, she was put into a girls’ home in Camberwell and moved into a Salvation Army home when she was 11. From 11 to 16, she was in orphanages in Ballarat, Brunswick and Brighton.

Noni, who lives in Sunbury, said a royal commission would give state

financial redress, she has begun to write a letter to the commission about her experience. ‘‘I’m not looking for anything, just recognition for the way we were treated,’’ she said. ‘‘The worst part for me was going to the reformatory at age 11 and then being put in isolation. ‘‘I cut my finger and someone saw that I had blood on my hands and sent me to solitary confinement for two days because they thought I was suicidal.’’

Another harrowing experience was being separated from her sisters. She was 10 when they started to leave an orphanage. ‘‘That’s when I started running away so I could start looking for them.’’

Noni is a member of Care Leavers Australia Network, which provides support for state wards.

Former vice-principal for trial A FORMER priest at Salesian College Rupertswood has been committed to stand trial on child sex abuse charges.

Magistrate Greg McNamara found there was sufficient evidence to convict David Rapson, 59, of Sydney, and ordered him to stand trial in the County Court.

Rapson, who told the magistrate last Friday he was "not guilty" of all the charges against him, was released on bail to appear in the County Court on December 11 for a directions hearing.

His trial will be held in August.

Rapson is charged with one count of rape, five counts of indecent assault, four counts of indecently assaulting a child under 16, and one count of gross indecency. The offences were allegedly committed between 1973 and 1990.

Rapson had been a teacher and former vice-principal at the college.

On Friday, the final witness in the four-day committal hearing at the Melbourne Magistrates Court said he had been a year 9 student at Rupertswood in 1989 when his father was diagnosed

with cancer. Rapson had called the boy into his room to comfort him.

After giving the boy two glasses of whisky, Rapson squatted on the floor next to him before running his arm up the boy’s leg, the court heard.

The alleged victim said Rapson then sexually abused him before he jumped up in shock. ‘‘He [Rapson] asked me to stay and I said that I couldn’t because I had to get home or else I would be in more trouble,’’ the former student said in a statement. ‘‘I rode my bike home. ‘‘I remember being affected by the scotch and feeling quite drunk, despite only having two."

The witness said he last saw Rapson early in 1990 when the priest was transferred out of Rupertswood. ‘‘At the time it was very hush, hush, and I didn’t know why this happened."

The committal hearing has been told police are continuing to investigate child sex abuse claims involving priests other than Rapson at Rupertswood.

Willing hands Lancefield’s Men’s Shed is bringing together skilled and unskilled men. The shed was officially launched last Wednesday with about 80 people gathering to support the project.

Members Kevin Cleary, Doug McLeod and Max Fincher (pictured) are already putting their skills to good use. Mr Fincher said the shed was a fully equipped workshop and had created a lot of interest in the town. Members have already made wooden toys for the Romsey Toy Library. ‘‘The idea is that if someone has a project and they don’t have the tools or equipment, if they supply the material and make a donation we can work on their project,’’ Mr Fincher said. Members meet each Wednesday. More details: Lancefield Neighbourhood House, 5429 1214.

AN assault charge against Hume councillor Jack Ogilvie has been struck out of court, with the magistrate saying a police decision to drop the case was ‘‘very sensible.’’

Last Wednesday, at Broadmeadows Magistrates Court, Magistrate Robert Kumar said the police decision to not proceed any further was the right one.

Cr Ogilvie faced the court accused of assaulting fellow councillor Adem Atmaca on October 10 last year. It was the fourth time the case had been before the court.

Mr Kumar had previously said he would not allow his court to be used for political issues

and had questioned why the case came before him. He told the police prosecutor last Wednesday to consider whether they really wanted to continue with the case, saying ‘‘they [the councillors] are grown men.’’

The prosecutor told the magistrate that Cr Atmaca was keen for the case to go ahead.

But following Mr Kumar’s comments, the prosecution asked for a stay of proceedings to speak with a police informant.

On returning to court, the prosecutor told the magistrate that she was dropping the charge.

Outside court, Cr Ogilvie said he was glad the case was over. ‘‘I was disappointed that it had gone this far. I was also disappointed that he [Cr Atmaca]

didn’t use the process of councillor code of conduct. ‘‘We just have to get on with our lives and make Hume a better place.’’

Cr Atmaca said he was disappointed that the case had taken so long and that the charge had been dropped. ‘‘I am seeking legal advice to get a better understanding of how this occurred,’’ he said. ‘‘How can you have a charge of assault with witnesses and then 12 months later these charges are withdrawn? ‘‘I hope that the defendant being a councillor did not have an impact on the decision, as I don’t believe that as councillors we should be treated any different from the rest of the community.’’

‘It’s a jungle out there’ A WALKING track near The Willows in Gisborne is overgrown with more than waist-high grass, posing a risk to children, a Gisborne resident says.

The path, which runs through the roadside along the Gisborne-Melton Road, is the only walking track to Gisborne from The Willows.

The walking path meets a concrete footpath just after the children’s crossing on GisborneMelton Road near the Gisborne Secondary College.

Resident Linda Humphries says the walking track is unsafe as it is not properly maintained. ‘‘If someone fell in here, or if children are exposed to danger, or they fall over, you cannot see them from the road. There are a lot of tree roots exposed along the track,’’ she said.

Ms Humphries wants the grass along the walking path slashed and maintained regularly. ‘‘I would prefer to see a proper [concrete] footpath for the safety of children. ‘‘I want to see some kind of clearance between the path and the road so it is a safe walking

A truck driver was killed near Carlsruhe on Saturday when the vehicle ran off the Calder Freeway near Cobb and Co Road. Police say the south-bound truck moved into the right-hand lane before leaving the road. It is believed to have crossed the Campaspe River before coming to a stop. Information to Crime Stoppers, 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au.

Reserve ‘unsuitable’ for hub Community pressure is mounting on Macedon Ranges council to back down from plans to develop an early-years hub on the Daly Reserve in Gisborne. Six councillors attended a meeting at the reserve last week. Cr Russell Mowatt agreed that a hub needed to be built in Gisborne but questioned the reserve as the preferred location. The issue is expected to be discussed at a council meeting on November 28.

Speed humps ‘risky’ Hume council will look at ways to reduce speed in Mitchells Lane, Sunbury. Cr Jack Medcraft raised the issue at a council meeting last Monday, saying the speed humps caused damage to cars, helped hoons to do burnouts and were loud when trucks travelled over them.

The Macedon Ranges assets and operations director, Dale Thornton, said the council had received complaints from residents about the area’s maintenance. ‘‘It’s not possible to establish a concrete path or maintain this area to an urban standard as we

need to be sensitive to the native vegetation in what is essentially a semi-rural environment.’’

Mr Thornton said the council would conduct an additional inspection of the area to see if any further maintenance was needed.

SUNBURY railway station is constantly littered with rubbish and most weekends covered in urine, vomit and broken glass, says an outraged Jacksons Creek ward councillor. ‘‘Anyone who knows Sunbury is disgusted at what is happening at that bus shelter and around the station,’’ Cr Jack Ogilvie said at a council meeting last Monday. ‘‘There’s an opportunity for council officers to talk to the Department of Transport officials and work out some sort of arrangements [to fix the mess].’’

The Weekly reported in February Cr Ogilvie’s disgust at the station’s condition. ‘‘I know Cr Potter has raised this at least once. I know I’ve raised it at least once and I believe Cr Medcraft in a past life [as a councillor] may have raised it,’’ Cr Ogilvie told the council.

Cr Medcraft, who also represents Jacksons ward after winning the election last month,

said: ‘‘My place of employment backs onto it and it’s not unusual for me every night to call the cops. ‘‘They [vandals] have no respect for what’s there and they treat it as a pigsty.’’

Cr Potter added: ‘‘I totally agree with the sentiments. ‘‘I raised an identical item and received a letter [from DOT] saying ‘we don’t have the money’. ‘‘It [a regular cleanup] needs to be extended to the new garden — it’s already unkempt.’’

The council decided to seek a meeting with department officials.

Public Transport Victoria spokeswoman Caitlyn Hammond said the station had previously been looked after by V/Line, but from last Sunday Metro had taken charge.

She said under Metro’s franchise agreement, it had to adhere to 10 key measures as part its performance. ‘‘This includes the cleanliness of stations, trains and train reserves . . . and graffiti removal on trains.’’

However, we cannot guarantee to maintain water pressure or an uninterrupted water supply in the event of a bushfire.

It’s important to be prepared with an independent water supply.

Wraps come off at park picnic

‘It’s not a pit bull,’ owner tells VCAT

BY ANGELA VALENTE

THE owner of a dog that attacked a Sunbury woman has appealed to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal after Hume council declared the dog a restricted breed.

As reported by the Weekly on September 4, a woman was taken to hospital and needed more than 100 stitches to facial wounds from the attack on August 29.

The woman was attacked when visiting a property in Scott Street.

Council officers and police impounded two dogs from the property the next day.

The dogs were registered with the council as Staffordshire bull terriers, but council officers say one is an American pit bull terrier.

Councils have the right to seize and destroy unregistered restricted breeds that are found roaming the streets or have injured an animal or person.

American pit bull terriers are among restricted breeds.

It’s the 11th time residents have appealed to VCAT claiming the council has wrongly identified their dogs as pit bulls.

VCAT has overturned the council’s decision three times.

KYNETON is hosting a party on Sunday to celebrate the unveiling of plans for its first community park.

The park, to be built in the lower arboretum of the Kyneton Botanic Gardens, will be a space for people of all ages to enjoy and explore, as well as being a unique attraction for the town.

Planning started about five years ago.

In August, park group members announced that Melbourne landscape company Laidlaw and Laidlaw Design, which designed the children’s garden at Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne, had been chosen to recreate the vision on paper.

Kyneton Community Park vice-president Amy Cockroft says the design includes a playground, fitness circuit, barbecues and sheltered picnic area. There will also be displays with information about Kyneton’s history and natural environment. ‘‘The play equipment features great attractions for older children as well as toddlers. There are giant swings as well as gentle waterway through the centre of the playground and perennial herb garden for quiet, reflective play. ‘‘This is a brilliantly designed park and its

Time to party: Alec, 20 months old, enjoys a cupcake (front) while Moth Fairy (left) paints children’s faces at the Kyneton Community Park.

Picture: Paul Rovere unveiling at our ‘picnic in the park’ is a fantastic opportunity for locals to see it for themselves.’’ There will be Edwardian cream tea, sausage sizzle, children’s games, face painting, storytelling and historical displays at the picnic.

SUNBURY & MACEDON RANGES WEEKLY 7

INSIDESTORY

A good deed, indeed While still promoting a sense of adventure, Scouting offers young people a variety of important life skills, writes ANDRIA COZZA. s a Scout, Ben McLeod is proud to be in the good company of astronauts. Two of the three astronauts involved in the first lunar landing were Scouting members, he says with pride.

There’s more: of the 312 pilots and scientists selected as astronauts since 1959, 207 were Scouts or active in Scouting.

In all, there are 25 million members around the world and their chief Scout is non other than television adventurer Bear Grylls. ‘‘Scouts are everywhere,’’ Ben declares.

A

The enthusiasm of Ben and his family in Melton for the more than 100-year-old tradition is palpable.

For the McLeods, Scouting is a shared passion.

Mum Teresa got involved to spend more time with her children and eagerly took on the Scouting challenges, becoming a Leader. ‘‘It gets me to do things I wouldn’t normally do, like trekking five kilometres up in a mountain in snow.’’

While Scouts are often associated with selling cookies and tying knots, the McLeods are quick

to challenge the stereotype. ‘‘We’re canoeing or rock-climbing or caving on the weekends,’’ says Ben. ‘‘People wonder if Scouts are still around and think that they’re dying out, but it’s just the opposite.’’

For Teresa, it’s the perfect outlet for teens seeking thrills or for adrenalin junkies. ‘‘Teenagers want that risk factor and these days with public liability it’s becoming more scarce. With the Scouts, you can do all that exciting stuff, like taking helicopter rides, skiing down slopes on ice, and jelly-wrestling.’’

For Ben’s younger brother Malcolm, Scouting isn’t only about the adrenalin-inducing weekend activities. ‘‘When I started I was a bit shy, but now I can

walk up to people and start a conversation. I’ve travelled so much already, been to Sydney and America for camps, and I’ll be going to America again next year.’’

In between organising adventures on the weekends, Ben has been studying for the VCE. He says it has been easy to balance the two.

Malcolm has taken full advantage of the training Scouts Australia provides, and he completed a Certificate II in business.

Leadership training is provided through the Scouts Australia Institute of Training, a registered training organisation that offers qualifications recognised around the nation.

The training helped Malcolm and fellow Rovers Scouts (aged 18-25) organise a twilight market in Melton once a month. ‘‘Setting up a fourhour market and having it go off without a hitch was a great thing,’’ Ben says. Teresa likes the idea of Scouts for her children, who have diverse interests, and the training available to her as a Leader (age 18 onwards). ‘‘As a leader, all the training is paid for and it’s an opportunity to get down to their level.’’

Teresa says that while teenagers will continue to want to take risks, being in the Scouts gives them a safe environment to make mistakes. ‘‘Kids will always be kids, but we trust them and that’s what it’s based on.’’

Scout leaders are volunteers who guide the younger ones during their weekly meetings, camps and activities.

Australian Institute of Health and Welfare research shows that children who learn how to negotiate social interactions in the early years are more likely to achieve higher outcomes in education, health and well-being.

Teresa’s daughter Maddy already knows she wants to head a family-run business.

And thanks to activities Ben is involved in, he wants to pursue a career in the great outdoors. ‘‘My plan is to be an outdoor education specialist because of everything I’ve been exposed to.

The Scouts have definitely given me a head start,’’ says Ben, who wants to apply to work in America next year as part of summer school camp

programs. The social skills Malcolm McLeod has learnt have given him confidence to consider working as an electrician. ‘‘I want to be a sparky and Scouts has taught me how to interact with people, something that’s important when you go to a person’s house. You have to build the trust.’’

Being trustworthy is a cornerstone for Scouts and most people are familiar with ‘Scout’s Honour’, the three-finger salute.

For Maddy, the pledge translates to the world beyond Scouts. ‘‘Scout’s Honour is something you learn and live for the rest of your life. You know that obviously you won’t be kicked out of a camp, but you learn there is always going to be a consequence for your actions.’’

In Werribee, Maddy Packer and her brother Matthew also enjoy spending the time outdoors. ‘‘Especially when camping; Scouting gets you outdoors and learning lots of skills,’’ she enthuses.

Maddy believes that being a Venturer has influenced the path she will take after she finishes school. ‘‘I guess it has influenced my interest in the environment and in animals, and I’d like to work in animal conservation.’’

Their mother Debbie Packer says Scouting can foster a sense of purpose in teenagers. ‘‘It gives them a great sense of belonging and, while it’s not competitive, they are challenged to improve on what they can do for themselves, rather than against others.’’

In Woodend, Lauren Walduck, 12, thinks more people should be involved in Scouting. ‘‘It’s fun and more young people should do it.

There are so many different experiences and activities to look forward to. ‘‘Some of my friends have also joined and I’ve

Well prepared: 1st Tullapark Scouts members Hannah, Casey, Sean and Tess.

Picture: Scott McNaughton made a lot of friends along the way.’’

1st Tullapark Scouts Casey and Hannah Maxwell, 11-year-old twins, enjoy their membership, but for very different reasons. ‘‘I love the adventures, especially camps and when we get to make our own type of shelter, with sticks and barks and leaves,’’ Casey says.

Hannah, by contrast, loves badgework and learning traditional knot-tying.

All say they have learnt an important lesson in life. ‘‘We learn a lot of respect for other Scouts,’’ says Casey, ‘‘and respect for people generally.’’

In January, Australian Scouts will attend a jamboree in Queensland along with 10,000 other Scouts from around the world.

To become involved with the Scouts, call 1800 726 887 or visit scouts.com.au Living the life: Werribee Scouts Matthew and Maddy Packer.

THE new fire station in Wildwood isn’t just for the CFA but for the whole town.

For about 400 residents, the station is the only community building. ‘‘As well as the CFA using it, Landcare and Neighbourhood Watch hold their meetings at it. Birthday and engagement parties wind up there, too,’’ says CFA lieutenant Joel Xuereb.

The original building was a tin shed built in 1976 when the brigade was formed. ‘‘We’ve outgrown the old station. It started as a tin shed and then we added a kitchen, toilets and meeting room. With the old building we had to do first aid in the engine bay in freezing cold. The old shed didn’t even have hooks to hang up our coats.’’ Mr Xuereb says the new building will make things easier for the brigade’s 40 members. It will have new equipment, more room and better storage facilities.

The station will be officially opened on Sunday as part of CFA Sunday, when stations across the state open their doors for the community. ‘‘We’ll have volunteers here answering questions and will have our Fire Ready Victoria meeting about the coming fire

Feedback received will shape the development of an Open Space Strategy

GISBORNE DEVELOPMENT CONTRIBUTIONS PLAN – AMENDMENT C87 Submissions are invited on Amendment C87, which proposes to incorporate a Gisborne Development Contributions Plan into the Macedon Ranges Planning Scheme that will introduce levies on new developments in Gisborne.

Gisborne has been experiencing steady growth and it is important that growth does not result in a reduction of the quality lifestyle residents enjoy.

Part of this involves making sure that public infrastructure keeps pace with the increased growth in the town.

The Plan recognises that the cost of public infrastructure is expensive for Council and outlines proposed levies that will apply to new developments.

The proposed levies only apply to new residential, commercial and industrial developments in Gisborne (including New Gisborne) and are to be paid by the developer.

Depending on the development type, size and location, levies will vary from: • $5,436.55–$410.35 per dwelling, for new residential development.

• $5,820–$15.45 per 100sqm floor space, for new commercial development.

• $2,537.63–$6.73 per 100sqm floor space, for new industrial development.

A drum roll for Joan FORMER Victorian premier Joan Kirner has called on Sunbury Neighbourhood House to offer more services for young people and others in the community.

Ms Kirner visited the house last week in her role as Victorian communities ambassador. ‘‘Joan spoke about the importance of neighbourhood houses to provide for people who may need some extra support, either in getting a job or education opportunities,’’ house committee deputy chairman Jamie Byron said. ‘‘She touched on the recent cuts to [state government] TAFE funding. It has had a significant impact on young people within Sunbury.’’ He said the house would look to offer vocational training opportunities and be more accessible for people.

Helping home cooks create authentic Asian meals was the motivation behind Dominique Wong’s decision to open Asia Finest Grocery Store in Sunbury.

Established four months ago with the help of her brother Perry, the business is growing with customers coming from far and wide to get their hands on the right ingredients. “The most important thing about our business is to provide a wide selection for our customers,� Dominique says.

And the owners know what they’re doing when it comes to stocking the ingredients needed in a variety of dishes. “We have good knowledge of Asian cooking, especially in Cantonese,� Dominique says. “Perry is a chef and he gives me lots of ideas when I select my stock and at the same time he can provide advice to my customers. “We provide suggestions for big event cooking, healthy meals and quick dinners for busy mums.�

Dominique says they try to provide the widest range of ingredients possible to reflect the Sunbury demographic.

The store’s range includes condiments and spices, yum cha dim sum, dumplings, noodles, and Indian roti as well as fresh ingredients such as vegetables, seafood and meat. And to help with the cooking process utensils including bamboo steamers are also for sale.

There are four ways to make money out of property investments. To get the top performance from your property you should have a balance of all four elements, namely:1)Passive Appreciation: This occurs when you purchase a well-positioned property with a good location and it increases in value along with the general property market over time.

2)Active Appreciation: This happens when you take an action to increase the property’s value by renovation or redevelopment.

3)Rental Return: This is the most common source of return on investment, since it provides cash flow.

4)Tax Benefits: Property is probably the best investment for tax benefits due to negative gearing and depreciation allowances. It’s important to keep all four of the income-producing qualities in mind when investing in property. One reason is that well-located residential properties have inherently high growth rates. Most successful property investors over the long term do so safely without speculating. They buy quality properties in good locations and hold them over the long term, allowing them to grow in value.

The main reason they purchase property in the first place is for strong capital growth. It is probably the golden rule of property investing to buy the best quality property you can in the best location you can find and which you can purchase within your budget. Then never sell the property. If you have any questions in respect of these hints, or about any sale, purchase, letting or other real estate matter do not hesitate to call me John Dunlop on 9744 2555 or call in to our friendly offices at Sunbury and Gisborne for a talk.

wanting to occupy separate spaces, regularly entertain guests or host functions.

Three self-contained cottages, two with one bedroom and one double-storey with two bedrooms, are built to quirky, individual designs rich in character and cosiness.

The main house is a weatherboard chock-ablock with farmhouse appeal. Timber is everywhere — walls, ceilings, exposed beams and around windows — and its warmth is undeniable. Leadlight features and a stone fireplace in the lounge room maintain the theme; picture windows are like garden snapshots in the dining (or morning) and reading rooms; and a wood heater keeps it down-home in the family room.

You can almost smell the scones cooking in the skylit kitchen-diner, where commercial appliances (two-drawer dishwasher and Smeg 900mm gas cooker) sit cheek by jowl with a (working) cast-iron stove set in a brick fireplace.

One bedroom is next door to a study, with bathroom and walk-in storage (or wine room) nearby. The main bedroom, with wardrobes and en suite, links with a reading room with a garden outlook.

This jaw-dropping property at the foot of the Mount has fenced grazing paddocks with Mt Towrong backdrop, two dams with pumps and three entry points. Prepare for unpretentious living amid bountiful beauty.

47 Taylors Road, Mount Macedon Bedrooms: 6 Bathrooms: 6 Living areas: Lounge, study, dining, family The rest: Three self-contained cottages, wood heaters, fireplace, 2 paddocks, 2 dams, chook pen, vegie boxes, fenced vegie garden, mini-orchard, sheds, triple access Price: $1.68 million Private sale Agent: Gisborne Real Estate, 5428 8895

K, I know kangaroos visit, but wood nymphs, too, must surely secretly frolic at Braeside because it’s just so darn entrancing.

Of about 10.9 hectares surrounding a house built around the 1930s, nearly seven are dedicated to gardens of extraordinary beauty and functionality. Beckoning pathways, a flowerfringed dam, velvety lawns, innumerable English trees, rampant cottage plantings and exotic ornamentals live in harmony with fruit trees, boxed vegie gardens, a chook coop and a large, fenced kitchen garden with abutting propagation shed.

It’s a wonderful setting for the existing B&B business but is also alluring for a large family

TRIPPING

A doff of the hat to Fez’s exotic fare

BY REBECCA MILLER ravellers shouldn’t worry about the heat and possible culture shock when considering a trip to Fez, Morocco. I went last year and loved the experience.

There’s plenty of things to love about Fez, including the sunny weather, historical buildings, food and drink— traditional tagine followed by mint tea anyone?

Whether its a chicken, beef or vegie tagine with cous cous they’re all delicious and filling, while very sweet mint tea is a refreshing finisher.

And my accommodation, like many buildings in Morocco, was decorated with mosaics. My hotel — once the British Embassy when Fez was the capital of Morocco — was at the foot of the medina (old city).

I’d recommend a tour guide as the medina is like a rabbit warren and not the kind of place you want to get lost in the heat.

A guide is also handy for people who don’t speak Arabic, French or Spanish as not everyone

T

FEZ, MOROCCO Getting there: Fly Melbourne to Fez, via Doha and Casablanca Accommodation: Hotel Batha, Place de l’Istiqlal, Fez, Morocco Details:tripadvisor.com.au

speaks English yet, although clearly they’re doing well in the multilingual department!

The medina consists of market stalls, businesses, mosques and living quarters.

I visited a leather tannery and was given a large sprig of mint to sniff during the tour and thank goodness because the big, leather-soaking pots smelt like sewage but the colours were beautiful, just like the products in their shop.

A visit to a pottery where traditional bowls, vases and tagines are made was interesting, just a shame it’s hard to bring the fragile, hand-painted wares home.

And stepping inside a traditional pharmacy was intriguing with its various herbs, remedies and natural perfumes displayed in jars.

Many perks in Chrysler’s 300 club

BY DEREK OGDEN hen it comes to the Chrysler 300, we’ve all heard the put-downs — Yank tank, Mafia staff car and so on. Yet the new model doesn’t deserve any of these jokes. Driving the two larger-than-life vehicles back to back illustrated a breadth of appeal rarely found in a big sedan.

For a start, thanks to advanced automotive technology, both behaved like much smaller cars, making for a relaxed driving experience. For example, when parking, a reversing camera with guidelines and a park distance alarm system are on hand to take the measurements and tailor the right approach.

Now owned by Italian automobile giant Fiat, Chrysler is aiming to make a bigger dent down under and the new 300 series large sedan was the first product range to burst out of new Melbourne headquarters onto the Australian market a couple of months ago.

The cars come in versions from the 300 Limited, to the 300C, the 300C Luxury and the range-topping SRT8. Prices start at $43,000 for the petrol Limited, the diesel adds $5000, and

W

Luxury drive: The SRT 8 stands out at the pinnacle of the new Chrysler 300 series.

ESSENDON VOLKSWAGEN’S DEMONSTRATOR

top out at $66,000 for the Hemi V8 SRT 8. We experienced the 300C Luxury 3.0-litre V6 diesel and 300 SRT8 6.4-litre Hemi V8, fine examples from either end of the product spectrum.

The diesel takes advantage of Chrysler’s link to Fiat and comes from VM Motori in Cento, Italy, while the SRT 8 (for Street and Race Technology V8) pays homage to the US company’s welldocumented Hemi history.

The all-new 6.4-litre Hemi V8, one of the world’s most powerful naturally aspirated V8s, punches out 347 kW at 6100 rpm. That’s 500 horsepower in muscle car terms, and this is most certainly a machine with muscle. It has 631 Nm of torque at a rather high 4150 rpm.

The diesel got down to 7.5 litres per 100 kilometres on bouts of motorway driving, while the big petrol job slurped anything up to 29 litres per 100 kilometres in serious stop/start city travel.

Oh, dear . . .

Luxury by name, luxury by nature, expansive seats are aimed at carrying wide-backed corporates comfortably. Like the wide expanse of the American Mid-West, the 300 series brings a breadth of appeal rare in the mid-range luxury car market.

United wobbles but stays perched at top

BY TEO PELLIZZERI WOODEND inflicted Sunbury United’s first loss of the McIntyre Cup season as a middle-order collapse left United 132 short in Gisborne District Cricket Association on Saturday.

Chasing 316 for victory, United reached 82 without loss but a slump of 5-37 hollowed out the batting card on the way to finishing at 183.

The loss failed to dislodge United from the top of the McIntyre Cup ladder, with its 24 points still a game clear of Woodend, Riddell and Romsey all on 18 points.

Warren Else snared the key breakthrough of Lance Watts (28) to start Sunbury United’s run of top order wickets, with top scorer Luke

Morrison (55) going at 3-102 and proven matchwinner Ryan Billinghurst (6) going as the fifth in the collapse at 5-119.

Andrew Powell (22) and Steven Fogarty (34) provided resistance for the sixth wicket with a 43-run stand.

But Powell’s departure would spark an innings-ending collapse of 5-21.

Marcus Ciunik was best of the Woodend bowlers with 3-35 while Andrew Smale (2-24) and Else (2-40) were other multiple wickettakers.

At Romsey, Nicholas Strangio took key wickets to ensure Bacchus Marsh’s 322 compiled a week earlier was good enough to beat Romsey by 58 runs.

The Bulls failed to move out of seventh on the

ladder with the win but with 12 points are now a game out of the top four, behind sixth-placed Sunbury (12) and fifth-placed Wallan (15).

Strangio (4-77) removed Romsey openers James Williams (59) and Brent Tonkin (62) to end a promising start to the run chase.

Glenn Skrobolak (2-48) claimed Cameron Armstrong (41) and wickets followed at regular intervals with six other Romsey bats reaching double figures but none passing 20.

Brenton Payne finished as the other multiple wicket-taker with 2-33 as Romsey was all out for 264.

At Rupertswood, the home team resumed at 7-40 in reply to Riddell’s 120 and could manage only six more runs for the remaining three wickets.

Riddell declared at 6-167 in its second dig but could claim only two more Rupertswood wickets for the game as the home team’s second innings ended at 2-67 off 35 overs.

Daniel Fisk made 59 in Riddell’s second innings to go with his half century the previous weekend, while Heath Wadden finished with match figures of 4-24.

Mark Ryan (33 not out) ensured Rupertswood would safely see out the match with no risk of outright defeat.

At Wallan, Sunbury was never in the hunt chasing 287 for victory and was bowled out in the 41st over for 131 with Heath Boffey’s 40 the top score.

Forced to follow on, Sunbury safely negotiated 16 overs to be 0-54 at stumps.

INBRIEF Bendigo FL Former VFL footballer Brian Walsh will coach Kyneton next year after stepping out of the commentary box and apparent retirement. The three-time premiership coach of Golden Square will lead the Tigers after both this year’s co-coaches Derrick Filo and Nathan Thompson stepped down at the end of the season. Walsh won a Michelsen Medal as BFL best and fairest in his playing career and also played 115 VFL games from 1970 to 1978 with Carlton and Essendon. Walsh spent the past three seasons as a BFL radio commentator.

RDFL Riddell Football Club’s Matthew Darby has been named Riddell District Football League’s Wingman Off-Field Champion player of the year. A partnership between the Justice Department and the AFL Coaches Association, the Wingman Off-field Champion Awards had clubs nominate players aged between 18 and 25 who promoted and demonstrated positive off-field behaviour at the club. More than 300 clubs across 16 amateur football leagues, including a women’s league, took part in the award program, which forms part of the state government’s wider Wingman antiviolence campaign.

CDCA Trentham faces a tough chase in Castlemaine District Cricket Association A reserve after toiling to bowl out Muckleford for 224 at the weekend. Isaac Jennings (4-54) and Adam Prewett (3-53) were best of the Trentham bowlers. Trentham survived seven overs before stumps and will resume its chase at 0-6 this weekend.

Elsewhere, Malmsbury is in danger of outright defeat after being beaten on the first innings within the opening day

by Taradale. All-out for 92, Malmsbury could claim only two Taradale wickets by stumps, with the visitors 2-145 and well placed to chase an outright this weekend.

New league, new challenge rev up players

BY TEO PELLIZZERI RUPERTSWOOD’S arrival in the Riddell District Football League will make next year one of the competition’s most anticipated seasons in both football and netball.

Enthusiastic Rupo players hit the training track for the first time last week knowing 12 new opponents were waiting in the RDFL next year.

The next phase of the club’s netball program is under way as well, with teams coming together to take the court to represent a football and netball club for the first time.

Rupertswood started in the VAFA in 1999 but switched to the RDFL without opposition from its former league this month.

Rupo player Nathan Webb said talk in the playing group about a league switch got serious about halfway through this year. ‘‘The Riddell league stood out being local,’’ he said. ‘‘Once the review process went through it stood out in leaps and bounds. ‘‘Less travel, the rivalries, greater community interest and relevance, and netball was a big factor. ‘‘We probably developed a couple of VAFA rivalries over the years, Werribee and maybe Old Camberwell, but with promotion and relegation you’d lose them in a couple of years. ‘‘I think we could have climbed higher (than Premier C) but with player retention we’d just lost too many to go to that next step.’’

Webb said while money was a factor in the club’s extensive player turnover, playing at a higher standard or playing in more local competitions to the Sunbury region was equally significant. ‘‘We’re definitely trying to

New familiar faces: Rupertswood’s Kaitlyn Dullard and Nathan Webb are excited about the club’s future. keep what our culture is and to build on that. We don’t want to change what the club is about. ‘‘The RDFL is a league that’s improved out of sight from when we were forming and coming into senior football. Having watched a couple of finals, it’s got a really good name now, it’s well run, it’s really exciting. ‘‘We hope we can be competitive but until game one comes who knows.

We’ve got our work cut out for us.’’

Netball squads have not yet been

selected and coaching appointments are still coming together as the RDNL teams form from scratch.

Kaitlyn Dullard, 19, has previous experience in the RDNL lower grades at Riddell Bombers and is returning to the court after a year off. ‘‘There are a lot of Rupo teams in Monday night netball at Boardman,’’ she said. ‘‘A few of those teams, groups of juniors playing together, are coming up and hoping to stick together in the

Rupo colours. It’s exciting for them to play junior netball and senior netball with the same club.’’

RDFL president Alan ‘‘Ollie’’ Matthews said he expected Rupertswood to perform well on and off the field. ‘‘Having seen first-hand how they run their juniors and the calibre of player in the junior competition I think it puts them in good stead for the future. ‘‘They’re looking to the future and the best fit is with us.’’

Saints steal a break on the herd

Clarkefield Brumbies failed to build a big partnership on the way to posting 189 on day one of its Vic Kyte Shield clash against Donnybrook at the weekend. Graham Bonney (20) and David Falzon (31) shared a 54-run stand for the third wicket before top-scorer Tom Brophy (42) watched a number of batting partners come and go. Stefan Moskaljuk hit 21 not-out from No.11 to ensure the Brumbies would reach the final over of the day, sharing a 25-run stand with Chris Boyle (21) before the last wicket fell on the penultimate ball of the 80th over.

ST Anthonys enjoys a 12-point cushion at the top of Gisborne District Cricket Association B grade after a 145-run win against Bacchus Marsh on Saturday.

Macedon’s loss at the hands of Riddell at the weekend means St Anthonys (30 points) has jumped clear of the chasing pack, headed by Macedon, Sunbury United and Gisborne all on 18 points.

Bacchus Marsh was never in the hunt at the weekend after collapsing to 7-35 in reply to St Anthonys’ 272

posted the week before. Bradley Nichols scored 51 to all but save the Bulls from an outright as the score reached 127 all-out.

Bacchus Marsh followed on, but stumps was called after 10 overs with the score 1-50. Cam Clayton took 6-30 as St Anthonys’ best bowler.

At Riddell, Macedon fell 25 runs short against Riddell after a promising start to its run chase was derailed when it lost 4-7.

Macedon reached 1-72 in reply to Riddell’s 9-154 but fell to 5-79, with top-scorer Daniel Trotta (42) among the batsmen to go.

Alexander Tacey (5-38) and Stephen Roche (4-32) were the destroyers for Riddell.

At Langama Park, Gisborne’s 9-202 set the previous week was more than enough as the visitors rolled Sunbury United for 94 in reply.

Peter Sankey claimed 4-31 as best of the Gisborne bowlers while Jarryd Vernon (2-7) and Jason Lock (2-5) were other multiple wicket-takers.

In C grade, East Sunbury piled on the runs after securing a seven-wicket win against Woodend.

Passing Woodend’s 127 three down, East Sunbury went on to make 5-264

with Robert Richard making 130 notout.

At Ashfield, the home side’s 227 was enough to win as Diggers Rest Bulla Village was bowled out for 200 in reply. Shannon McDorman scored 84 not-out for the Burras but ran out of partners after the main partnership of the innings with Kane Shaw (63) was broken.

Geoff Edwards was Ashfield’s best bowler with 4-41 while Jason King claimed 3-38.

East Sunbury leads C grade with 36 points from Diggers Rest Bulla Village with 27 and Ashfield 24.
