BUY A BADGE, LET YOUR ANZAC SPIRIT SHINE...
As ANZAC Day rapidly approaches, Dunolly/Bealiba Sub-Branch asks for all Victorians across our community to let their ANZAC spirit shine by buying and wearing a badge this April 25.
Every year, the RSL in Victoria has the great honour and responsibility of leading ANZAC Day commemorations on behalf of and for the Victorian community. With support from the Victorian Government and in partnership with numerous organisations ranging from the AFL to the Shrine of Remembrance, RSL presents numerous ceremonies, marches, sporting events and other commemorative activities.
It is a day of both national and international significance that gives everyone the opportunity to pause and reflect on the service and sacrifice of those who have served in defence of our nation and way of life, and those who continue to serve today. Each year since 1921, the RSL has fundraised in the lead-up to ANZAC Day. The annual ANZAC Appeal raises money to support veterans and their families when in need. The ANZAC Appeal is the RSL's primary fundraiser as well as an enduring Victorian tradition. RSL Dunolly/Bealiba Sub-Branch President, Richard Gale said, “The issues modern veterans face when transitioning to life beyond Defence are large and overwhelming – from a wildly disproportionate rate of homelessness to unemployment and vocational training to a variety of wellbeing challenges most take for granted. 100% of funds raised during the ANZAC Appeal goes directly to our veterans and their families who are dealing with these, and many other, challenges.”
This year, the RSL in Victoria has some unique ANZAC Day merchandise on offer. For as little as $2.00, Victorians can help support our mission by buying a badge. Highlights available this year include the debut of a very special $20 badge commemorating Lieutenant Colonel Vivian Bullwinkel AO, MBE, ARRC, ED, as well as another must-have badge commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Korean War.
President Richard Gale said, “Once again, I thank you in advance for your support of the ANZAC Appeal. It's truly a worthy cause and a very special time of year. I hope you are able to commemorate in your preferred way and also enjoy some of the activities and events coming this April as part of the ANZAC Appeal. “We encourage everyone to wear a badge of their choice and attend Dunolly/Bealiba RSL Sub-Branch services this ANZAC Day. It’s a very special and important day and we love seeing so many come out, lend their support for veterans and their families and let their ANZAC spirit shine.”

A Portrait Study of Digger Memorials in the State of Victoria. Immortals is a comparative study of World War I ANZAC Digger Memorials by Central Victorian artist, Clayton Tremlett. The artist has documented just the facial features of each monument and presents them as a series of 54 silkscreen prints.

Dear Editor,
It was sad to see the notice of Pam Anyon's passing in last week's The Welcome Record. She had connections to the Welcome Record going back many years, both as a valued folder and a writer. Her high energy visits to the office to drop off her articles were always a welcome distraction for office volunteers. She was very articulate and knew how to spin out a story for everyone's enjoyment - including her own. Her contributions to the fabric of Dunolly life are not forgotten. Condolences to her family.

Molly, Lewis, Alice, Stephen, Leanne and their families would like to thank everyone for their kind wishes, cards, phone calls and flowers after Mandys passing. Your kindness will be forever appreciated. Please accept this as our personal thanks.

Winter clothes are hanging on the Op Shop racks and more winter stock is coming in at a great rate. It appears, from the amount of garments we are receiving, that many people’s wardrobes are up to their usual summer tricks –shrinking garments. Wonderful bargains are to be found in our selection of formal and casual coats and jackets. Selected summer stock is still available this week, at greatly reduced prices. Our kitchen section, which is situated in the first alcove on the right as you come in the door, shares that alcove with books. The cake tins, plastic containers, utensils (serving almost every kitchen purpose imaginable) are tucked right around the corner. Now is the season for a nice hot cuppa. Op Shop has a book case display, with as many styles and sizes of mugs and cups as you can imagine. So, after you rummage in the kitchen section, the mugs’ display case is on your right. As we say, when we are giving directions in the country, “You can’t miss it!”

Councillor Liesbeth Long
As some of you may know, I’m not one to shy away from rolling up the sleeves to help out around Flynn Ward.
Last Sunday was no different, when I ventured out in my farm Ute with an armload of gardening tools to help the Bealiba Reservoir Committee with their Working Bee at 10am. The Committee, as part of their planning works, built 2 picnic tables for day use as well as collecting rubbish, clearing of camping sites, tidying up fire pits and cleaning around the toilet sites. About a dozen or so locals turned up and it was all hands on deck for a solid 2 hours before we had a shared lunch around one of the fire pits. It was a fabulous day and once again I was in awe of the great community spirit this small town of approx. 200 residents displays and the commitment of the volunteer committee who manage the 300 acres of the Bealiba Reservoir. You should all be very proud of yourselves, and I commend you all!
The Bealiba Reservoir Recreation area is a fantastic spot for camping, picnics, fishing, swimming, bushwalking and birdwatching. Set beneath beautiful Mount Bealiba, this reservoir makes a great place to set up camp while exploring the many fantastic historic sites and natural features of the surrounding area.
During our working bee I went and introduced myself to some of the campers and they all gave positive feedback of the great location, ambience and facilities provided.
If you haven’t visited the Bealiba Reservoir recently or not at all, I thoroughly recommend a day trip or if you like camping, an overnight stay. The area has a lot to offer and is such a wonderful asset to Bealiba and district. You can find it by driving Southeast down Scent Farm Rd from central Bealiba for approx. 3km before turning left at the rise onto Boundary Track.

NUTTY JERUSALEM ARTICHOKES
Over the Easter Break a nice drop of rain has dampened down the compost heap and started all the grass cuttings and weeds breaking down and topped the tanks up. In the next couple of weeks we will be getting ready to plant a garlic, broad beans and some winter vegetables
The Jerusalem artichokes are ready for harvest and more of them will be available on the share table this week.
One of the nice things about a community garden is the opportunity to learn how to grow new things and try different foods.
The Jerusalem artichoke can grow up to 3 metres tall and are best planted in Spring in reasonably fertile soil and harvested when the flowers are starting to droop and the lower leaves are going brown.
These unusual tubers are grown both for decoration for their pretty flowers and for food. They can be baked, steamed or added to stir frys.
Their flavour is slightly sweet,
nutty and a little garlicky. You can scrub and roast them whole like mini jacket potatoes and split them open, drizzled with a little chilli oil or use them in a salad with smoky bacon.
Jamie Oliver notes “A Jerusalem artichoke’s best friends are sage, thyme, butter, bacon, bay, cream,
breadcrumbs, cheese and anything smoked. If roasting them, cut them into chunks, douse them liberally in olive oil, add salt and a generous amount of thyme, then bake for about half an hour at 180˚Celsius. They are best stored in the fridge once harvested, as they do not store as well as potatoes.” The garden recently had a stand at the Dunolly Country Market and there was quite a bit of interest and some wonderful conversations that day.
If you are interested in attending a workshop on growing orchids, pruning and grafting fruit trees, permaculture, seed saving or other garden topics please get in touch with us, because if there are enough participants we will organize a presenter. You can leave a message on the Dunolly Community Garden Facebook page or email us at dunollycommunitygarden@gmail .com

1930 1932 1933 Walter would ride his bike from Maryborough to get to training and to matches. In the first semi loss of Dunolly in 1928 Gourlay, who in defence gave one of the best displays for some time. The tight defensive work of Gourlay ensured that the forwards weren’t having as much of an impact early in this game. Gourlay was being his usual miserly self, restricting the dangerous opponent to one goal for the match.
B&F 1972 1973 Eric was a regular goal kicker when he was a ruck rover he’d go in and get the ball and then feed it out to his fellow midfielders. He was an excellent right foot kick, and he was a cheeky player who wasn’t afraid to give his opponents a bit of lip. He was a great allrounder and played over 200 high quality games. He was a great clubman always selling a raffle ticket or being first at a working bee.

Whilst under the six foot in the old, hutch was extremely strong overhead, unstoppable on the lead and uncanny with the way he could kick goals from any position.

On a Thursday morning at 10am, a group (mostly ladies, men are most welcome) gathers at the Dunolly Golf Course to play Croquet also called Golf Croquet. What makes golf croquet different to association croquet? In golf croquet, a hoop is won by the first ball to go through each hoop.
Golf Croquet is a game of skill, fun and challenges. The challenges are increased with the ground we play on. Using a mallet to hit a ball through a hoop sounds easy, doesn’t it? Until you have a go, you may find it isn’t as easy as it sounds.
The course is set by Sharon and assistants. Natalie often mows before we start, as the
ground we play on is uneven and covered with tufted weeds.
Bill Humphries from the Northern District Croquet Association kindly offered to outline the layout of the course. Many thanks were given for his patient laying of ropes to ensure the size and boundaries of the course were correct and hoops were in their right places. Sharon marked each spot to make it easier for future set ups.
Some weeks there are four to five players and other weeks up to seven. No matter how many arrive, there is always enough of us to play a game or two. Sharon, who is coaching us, often plays for two. This is a social game, there is time for chatting and time for serious play of Croquet. The rules are not hard to follow and
many of us are newbies, learning as we play.
To join in, contact Kath the Neighbourhood Centre on 03 5468 1511 If you do not have a mallet, there are spares to share at the Golf Club rooms. The cost is $3 each week. Bring a fold-out chair and your water too. The group often finishes off the morning with a tea or coffee in the club rooms.
Thanks to the Dunolly Golf Club for the kind use of their course.

RHEOLA Carnival Wrap Up
Total visitors to the Rheola Charity Carnival was (drum roll please) 3,500 – a new record for the event! The total charity funds raised which will be split between Inglewood Hospital, Dunolly Hospital and the Rheola Public Hall & Recreation Reserve are still to be finalised and will be reported when advised by the organising Committee.
Speaking of which, the hardworking committee this year was led by President - Peter Mason (for the 12th year straight!), Secretary Deb Hancock and TreasurerLisa Goettler.
There was a core group of about 15 committee members planning and supporting but the day’s success relied on the extraordinary army of 130 volunteers. The Committee is extremely grateful for them as it would not have been possible to put on all the events on the day. A very grateful and huge Thanks to the local community and those who came from afar to help on the day. Here’s to the 151st Carnival in 2024! Julie Piening

Well done to the supporters, attendees and organizers for the Dunolly Trivia Night.
Please keep an eye out for the upcoming Dunolly Country Market, not to mention the Tiny Towns Arts Trail. A lot happening in the Shire and great to see so much here in Flynn Ward.
For those who attended 27th February's Coffee with the Councillors at the Bull and Mouth Hotel, our Mayor gave an undertaking to have a follow-up in two months’ time, in April. However, we believe that date has now been put back to late May.
This coffee with the Mayor was well attended, a lot of concerns were raised and promises of follow ups from the Mayor also given.
Several concerns were replied to by the Mayor with a very welcome “Please email me with more information and I will get back to you.” For those who have not sent that email This allows more time for those asking the questions to do as requested by the Mayor.
This meeting in May is a very important meeting, and there are a lot of questions around Dunolly planning, and also the newly approved C34cgol (omnibus).
CGR&RAI encourage all of the community to send questions to the Mayor and hopefully, finally we will get some answers we have been looking for. The reports of more senior planning staff moving on
is also a very concerning pattern which appears to be staying with our Shire.
A lot of time, resources and hours are put into educating these non-local planning and Council staff, which only sends us spiralling back to square one each time a position is vacated.
Do you feel the staff turnover in our Shire needs to be addressed desperately?
The roads are also a very concerning issue, with constant excuses of unseasonal rain and recovery from last October's flood.
Our Shire management wages appear to be increasing and works around the Shire appear to be decreasing. Do you feel there is an imbalance here?
Our Councillors constantly state that it is them (the Councillors) who control the CEO, which will in turn filter through the CGSC workforce. Maybe it's time we started seeing this control delivering results.
Is there too much talk and no or little results supporting our Councillors' claims?
With the temperature dropping, please keep yourselves warm, safe on the roads and look after each other.

Under 13’s The girls had a good start with great defensive pressure and some nice attacking play. Natte came out strong in the second half and ran away with a solid win. We lost 29-10. Incentives were awarded to Annabel and Grace.
Under 15’s It was another tight contest this week for these girls with it only being a couple of goals between them at each break. Both teams had strong defensive pressure and accurate shooting. Unfortunately in the last quarter Natte were able to get away just slightly. We went down 19 Incentives were awarded to Abbey and Rose.
Under 17’s It started to drizzle rain as soon as these ladies stepped on the court so the first quarter was a bit scrappy. Natte settled into the game sooner than us and were able to gain a handy leads. With some great defensive play we were able to win the 3rd quarter but unfortunately we weren’t able to close the gap. We went down 8-17. Incentives were awarded to Ruby and Chloe
C-Grade - We had a fantastic start with some great all over court play, seeing us down in the first quarter by just one goal. Natte came out firing in the second and got away to a handy lead. With lots of positional changes we managed to have some great passages of play but Natte were too strong on the day. We went down 28-33. Incentive was awarded to Cadence.
B- Grade- It was horrible conditions for B Grade with the rain coming down quite heavy. Natte proved to just be too strong defensively and we found it hard to convert. The girls never gave up but we went down 50-12. Kenna was awarded the incentive.
A- Grade- It was always going to be a tough task coming up against last years premiers. We found it very hard to get into the game and although our defenders worked tirelessly and gained many intercepts Natte’s defensive pressure was far too good for us and we found it hard to convert. We did not give up and our last quarter was our strongest but we went down 21-73. The incentive went to Zoe.

It was a harsh start to the game on Saturday however the boys and girls stuck it out. They fought really hard till the end of the game. Special mention to Liam Forster kicking five goals and to Isaac, Cooper, Connor and Zane bringing a lot of defensive pressure. It was another good game to watch and as every week goes by I see more and more progress between the team. Incentive went to Liam.

Following a great showing against Maldon on Good Friday the side travelled to Natte Yallock to take on Natte Bealiba. A strong side had been selected for what was an important clash. The 1st Quarter Natte Bealiba (playing their first game of the season) came out full of fight and intensity beating us around the ball and making the most of their opportunities to open up a 11 point lead in wet conditions. Given a spray at the break the intensity lifted in the 2nd Quarter as Dunolly matched Natte around the ball with the majority of the quarter played between the arcs but being unable to finish off some good work as Natte opened up a 13 Point Lead. Knowing to give themselves a shot the team lifted in the 3rd Quarter playing their best quarter of the day but again found it challenging to break through Natte’s solid defence to go in 10 points down at 3 Quarter Time. Natte responded in the 4th Quarter to take a 19 point win for the day. The Best Player for the day was Tyler Kinnane who was outstanding with his attack on the ball in trying conditions. We have a week break and look to rebound next against Carisbrook at home.

Seniors Football Report
Very similar conditions to last week, our senior group set sight for 2022 Preliminary Finalists, Natte Bealiba. In what was a back and forth game for the entirety of the first half, Natte lead a very low scoring affair, 1.410 to 0.5 - 5. A few missed opportunities from our boys meant we were narrowly behind at the main break. We knew with the right mindset and determination, we’d be able to stick with one of the best teams in the completion but unfortunately we came out sluggish and slow, allowing Natte to kick multiple unanswered goals in the third quarter which proved to be too much to chase down in the last.
Natte Bealiba running out 41-point victors.
Our better players were Bailey Goodwin, Lachie Tranter, Hamish Richards, Mitchell Goodwin, Nathan Murphy and Seth Galvin. We’ll reset over the next fortnight and look to take it up to Carisbrook in round 3.

Dunolly Golf Club
Welcome to season 2023 at DGC. We will be having our first hit this Saturday at around 12 pm, so it would be terrific to see as many members there as possible. Some will play 18 holes, others 9 holes, whilst some will play even fewer!
For any prospective new members out there, please come along and say hello. We are in need of new people, as we are down on numbers this year due to retirement, and some of our younger players are playing football or netball in 2023. Beginners of any age are especially welcome. We can provide clubs for you to use, and coaching will be available. Fees are unchanged for 2023. Full membership: $100, Social membership: $40, and Juniors under 18: $25. I think you will agree that these charges are very reasonable. Payment is required by the end of May. The course is looking excellent, thanks to Kenny, the Hunt family, and Greg Warren from Maryborough. Our working bee two weeks ago was well attended, the highlight being a stupendous effort with the brushcutter by Rick Lovel! Another great effort was that by Peter Beazely, who sifted a mountain of sand for the scrapes. Special appreciation goes to Tom Fankhauser, Phil Vernon, Jan Stephenson, Rod Stratford, Ned Callow for the clubhouse repairs and renovations. As a small club in a small community, we are reliant on those with expertise to help us along. Thanks to you all. Let’s have a great 2023 season, and we look forward to seeing both old & new faces at Dunolly Golf Club.

Tarnagulla Easter Cup
Wow! What a fabulous day and golf event. Over 60 people joined in the wonderful day, with tee-offs in the morning and the afternoon After two solid days of rain on Easter Thursday and Friday, the weather cleared at Tarnagulla and it was marvellous for the Easter Cup on Easter Saturday.
The volunteers had the course in beautiful condition and the rains of the previous week put a new green colouring on all the fairways. The sands ran true, and this all made for a fun and joyful game of golf with lots of talking, laughing and catch ups in the Clubhouse.
What a wonderful asset the golf course and club is to Tarnagulla and the district. There were old and new friends, families and children all walking the course together, swinging golf clubs with laughter ringing out around the course. What fun! The Ambrose format makes everyone feel like a champ as you get to select the best ball hit between each threesome. Even for the putting! Yes, I feel we were all champs!
A special thankyou to everyone who helped make everything run perfectly (Jan Sharman is amazing!) and to the Tarnagulla Supply Store (which has the most amazing range of groceries, prepared meals and coffees) for always making a donation to the Raffle. (being Easter, lots of chocolate this time. Ha)
A special welcome to Betty Higgs who played the nine holes (aged 95) and to Pixie McNamee (aged 101) who are both always enthusiastic and great club members. (Pixie doesn’t play golf anymore but oversees the excellent raffle.)
WINNERS:
First Place: Meredith Harwood; Garry Harwood and Leigh Fotheringham. Runners up: Rowan McNamee; Sarah Luxton and Sean Radich.
Longest Drive: Brian McNamee. Nearest the pin: Sean Radich. Mary McNamee Club Secretary
