Open for play

For more photos turn to page 9.

THE young and young at heart can now enjoy an exciting new playground thanks to this week’s completion – and opening – of the Port Fairy Skate and Play.

Built at a cost of just over $2.5 million, the new play space is already proving popular, with families making a special trip within hours of barriers coming down on Wednesday morning.

Local mother of two, Melanie Macilwain, was among several who ventured to the playground on Wednesday with her two boys, Hugh (5) and Jack (3).

“This is just amazing,” she said.

“It’s such a great play area for children of all ages, and teens and adults will no doubt make full use of the gym equipment installed as well.

“This will be a great place for friends to meet and people on holidays will all come here with their kids. No doubt it’ll become a focal meeting point in our town.”

Three year-old Jack, who was quick to test out the play equipment with his older brother, said he was excited that the playground was now open.

“The flying fox is my favourite,” he said. “But the swings are really good too and I like climbing.”

Teenage skateboarding enthusiast, Hudson, said he too was excited to “finally” see the skate park open.

“I watched the last skate park get knocked down and that was pretty sad,” he said.

“I’ve been coming down here nearly every day to watch the construction works and I couldn’t wait to bring my board down here today (Wednesday) to try it all out.

“It’s really good; they’ve done a great job and I’m sure it will get really busy here especially during school holidays and over summer.”

Also pleased to see the barriers come down this week was Ashley Crow who spent some time at the playground with young granddaughter, Bronte.

“This is pretty special,” he said. “I’m sure kids of all ages will have an absolute ball here. The skate park is great for them all, and I’m sure the teens will have fun in the (skate) bowl.”

Barbecue and toilet facilities, along with a phone recharging station are also included in the area, adding to the family-friendly atmosphere.

The tender for the project was awarded to Convic for Design and Construct in June 2024.

Council allocated $1.7 million to complete the play space and skate park, while Sport and Recreation Victoria contributed a further $1 million.

Local brothers Hugh (5) and Jack (3) Macilwain were among the ﬁrst visitors to enjoy the new Port Fairy Skate and Play when the barriers came down on Wednesday.

VIEW Club turns 30

SINCE its inception in 1995, the Warrnambool Day VIEW Club has continued to raise funds to help support students in need across the district.

According to club president Helen Ellerton, the club currently sponsors eight students from year two to year 12, covering costs such as school uniforms, books, excursions and school camps.

“VIEW (voice, interest and education of women) has been a valued member of The Smith Family for 65 years,” Ms Ellerton said.

“We raise money for The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program, providing long-term education support to Australian children experienced disadvantage.”

Along with the money raised by VIEW clubs, The Smith Family also provides after school homework clubs, reading programs and computer and data packages.

“Our club (Warrnambool) currently has 63 members who enjoy various social activities throughout the year, usually with one or two bigger events,” Ms Ellerton said.

“This year we’ve had an International Women’s Day afternoon tea and are planning a Taking Shape fashion parade at Anchor Point Village on September 10.”

This week’s 30th birthday cele-

brations included a presentation from two Smith Family Learning for Life team leaders, music, and the cutting of a birthday cake.

“It was a lovely day for us all, and among our guests were national councillor Janet Park, past national president Marg Whitehouse and past national councillors Elaine Watts, Kath Chapman and Bev Orgill.

“Warrnambool City councillor Richard Ziegeler also joined us, along with VIEW members who had travelled from Bendigo, Castlemaine, Hamilton, Keilor, Geelong and Ocean Grove.”

The birthday cake was cut by the group’s longest serving member, Kathy McGillivray, who joined the club around 26 years ago.

VIEW Club meetings are held on the last Monday of each month from 10.30am until 2pm at Rafferty’s Tavern.

Members enjoy lunch, a guest speaker and entertainment – along with a raffle and trading table to raise funds.

Anyone who would like more information about the club, or are interested in joining, can contact Helen Ellerton on 0419 505 712.

School camp ‘derailed’ by booking failure

THE introduction of VLocity trains on the Warrnambool line continues to cause concerns for some users, with Brauer College the latest to be affected by the smallercapacity carriages.

For years, Brauer College has relied on V/Line train services to transport year nine students to Melbourne affordably and efficiently.

This year, however, changes to the VLocity train fleet (specifically the introduction of smaller-capacity carriages) have made it impossible to book the full group on a single service.

Member for South-West Coast, Roma Britnell MP has called on the Minister for Public and Active Transport to urgently address travel barriers affecting regional school groups.

According to Ms Britnell, despite early planning and repeated attempts, Brauer College was told by V/Line that it could not secure seats until just 100 days before departure.

Even then, the group’s booking was denied.

“The students will now be split across two separate services, with half missing important pre-booked educational activities,” Ms Britnell claimed.

“Adding to the frustration, the school was advised to hire a coach at substantial extra cost; a solution deemed impossible.”

Ms Britnell called out the Allan Labor Government for ignoring prior warnings about the VLocity fleet’s reduced capacity.

“Regional students should not be disadvantaged because of poor infrastructure and inadequate transport planning; they deserve better,” she said.

“The Minister must urgently review these booking policies and expand capacity to ensure schools like Brauer College can access the cultural and educational experiences Melbourne offers.

“This government talks a lot about equity, yet regional students are now being split between trains, missing vital activities, and burdened by unnecessary costs.

“This isn’t progress, it’s a step backward for regional Victoria.”

South West Coast MP Roma Britnell has urged the state government to address travel barriers affecting regional school groups.

AFTER 13 years and millions of steps, local volunteer and avid walker Trevor Hearﬁeld has reached a major milestone.

Last Tuesday (July 29) Trevor embarked on his 1000th walk as part of a Heart Foundation walking group.

After retiring from work and going for walks alone, Trevor’s wife saw a flyer in a shop window advertising Heart Foundation walking groups, and she encouraged Trevor to join.

“I didn’t know how I was going to go with it, as I was used to walking on my own,” he said.

“But everybody was friendly and I just carried it on from there.”

After the group’s leader moved away from Warrnambool, Trevor stepped up to a volunteering role as a walk leader.

“After a while I got to be the leader of the group and everything has skyrocketed from there.”

As well as some administration duties, walk leaders are responsible for creating a friendly environment and welcoming new members.

Coordinated locally by the Warrnambool City Council’s Archie Graham Centre, four groups currently operate in Warrnambool.

Trevor began with a single group, but now regularly joins all four.

Walkers can go at their own pace, and different people sometimes walk different distances, with everyone meeting at the end for a cuppa and a chat.

“It feels great. The main reason to keep going is the camaraderie. Everybody works well together, it’s like one big family,” he said.

Trevor strides toward major milestone

“There’s been a couple of people that have lost their partners, and we’ve all knuckled down and been supportive of that person. We’ve had people with ageing disabilities… and we’ve welcomed them and looked after them.

“It’s good to get out and about, and enjoy the coffee afterwards and the talks.

“As we get older, we can get into a set routine, and sometimes you’ve got to break that routine.

“For anybody that’s thinking about it, I’d advise them to get out and try it.”

Despite walking regularly for so many years, Trevor said there’s always something new to see.

“It’s surprising what you do see. You might have driven past something for weeks and never noticed it.”

Deputy mayor Cr Vicki Jellie congratulated Trevor on his milestone and thanked him for his volunteer work, which saw him recognised in 2021 as a local nominee for a Victorian Senior of the Year Award.

“We wouldn’t have a lot of these programs if we didn’t have the volunteers so congratulations to Trevor and everyone else like Trevor,” she said.

“The volunteers in the city, and volunteers everywhere, are the backbone of the community. They give so much but I think they also get something out of it… it’s good for their soul too.

“Being involved with community, with health and wellbeing, is so important, and all the programs that the Archie Graham Centre run are so important to people.”

Heart Foundation senior advisor for physical activity, Elizabeth Calleja,

encouraged people living in the Warrnambool area to join a group.

“There are many health benefits of regular exercise, and participating in a walking group is also a great way to socialise and meet new people,” she said.

“The truth is, though, while most people come for some extra exercise, they’ll more often return week after week because of all the wonderful, new friends they make.

“Aside from their regular walks, Warrnambool’s groups have stayed vital by offering an important social outlet for members.

“This anniversary is a testament to the value these groups have in their local community. I’d urge anyone who is thinking about joining these, or another group, to give it a go. Heart Foundation Walking is fun, free and easy – so why not give it a try? You can sign up online or just turn up, and our walk organiser will help you.”

Moyne Shire Council Community Update

From the Deputy Mayor:

This month Council has been quite focussed on our awesome Mortlake community. Mayor Karen Foster took the opportunity to speak with Emily from Knot Just Hair about her incredible offer for farmers and CFA volunteers, paving the way for other community champions just like her.

On the topic of local business, we have respected business revitalisation expert Martin Ginnane also heading to Mortlake next week. He will be holding one-onone sessions with businesses and an evening workshop. Whether you’re a new business owner or have been in the Mortlake area for decades, this is your chance to gain fresh ideas, proven strategies, and real-world advice tailored for regional success. For more details and to book in check out our community news section below.

As always, our monthly Council Meeting was hosted at the Mortlake Council Chambers, and we were excited to adopt the Mortlake Market Square Master Plan at this one. The plan will form the basis of all improvements and upgrades to the Market Square space which is highly utilised by families, travellers and the wider community. It’s also a strong document to use as a base for attracting funding to help the design to go from plan

to action. We also approved just under $120,000. in Festival and events funding, adding to our already epic spread of massive events.

Coming up in August, in collaboration with Latrobe Community Health Services, Council will be welcoming community members, event organisers, and local groups to participate in a FREE Accessibility and Inclusion Awareness Session. With a specific focus on community events, the sessions being held in Port Fairy, Koroit and Mortlake will help groups improve planning and delivery of their existing, potential or firsttime events. The sessions will encourage organisers to develop accessible and inclusive events that align with our community needs by providing learning opportunities to improve event hosting/ management capacity, knowledge and skills.

My final Mortlake plug for this month is one for our creatives with the launch of our LOOP catch ups kicking off at Mac’s Hotel, Mortlake on Wednesday 13 August. A relaxed get-together for local creatives and creative supporters to connect, share ideas, and get inspired. The catch up is for everyone, whether you’re a maker, musician, writer, artist, performer - or just someone who loves being around creative energy, it’s also an opportunity to meet Moyne’s Arts and Culture Officer, Rebecca Elmes and guest Stacey Barnes Regional Arts Victoria, network with fellow creatives and hear about local arts news, events + opportunities. I encourage you to get involved if you’re keen.

The weather has been wet lately, let’s hope it hangs around for a bit, so just a reminder to stay safe on the roads, bundle up to keep warm and enjoy the indoor time with family and friends over a board game or dinner.

Cr Lockett Deputy Mayor

Freshen up your Moyne shopfront

Applications are now open for Moyne Shire Council’s annual Business Facade Improvement program, now in its sixth year of funding.

The program offers eligible Moyne businesses matched dollar-for-dollar grants up to $5,000 with pre-application assessments now available.

Moyne Deputy Mayor, Cr Jordan Lockett said the program was an important way for Council to continue its support for businesses, especially during these difficult economic times.

“Through this program we are helping business and building owners to give their premises a bit of a freshen up, which also helps enhance the overall appearance of our streetscapes,” Cr Lockett said.

“Updates can be as simple as a fresh coat of paint aka a lickity split, updates to signage or as big as new verandah works and window installation so we encourage all businesses to take up this opportunity to make improvements they

may otherwise not be able to afford,” he said.

Last year Council allocated funding to eight businesses across the shire who shared in $23,000 of funding for improvements and updates to their shopfronts.

Cr Lockett said successful applicants included Peterborough House which is now sporting a new entry awning and large sliding door, and Rebecca’s Cafe in Port Fairy which has repainted its facade and windows as well as upgraded signage.

“In the past the program has received a good number of applicants, and the completed works have made a real difference to the look of the shopfronts,” he said.

Applications to the fund must be lodged by Friday 12 September 2025. More information on eligibility and how to apply can be found on our website www.moyne.vic.gov.au/facade or by calling Council’s Economic Development team on 1300 656 564.

KOROIT and District Primary School turned all shades of green late last week. Students and staff came dressed in green on Friday to show their support for local farmers. Families were asked to donate gold coins towards the ‘Need for Feed’ organisation which is currently helping to distribute much-needed feed for stock across the district. Around $300 was raised on the day.

Don’t miss ‘Little Shop of Horrors’

A TALENTED cast of students from Warrnambool College will take to the stage later this month to present ‘Little Shop of Horrors.’

It has been 10 years since the college last brought this cult classic to life on stage and they are now thrilled to return with a bold new vision – and a student team that’s bursting with talent, energy and heart.

This year’s production is a sci-fi musical comedy like no other, blending hilarious characters, toetapping tunes, and a bloodthirsty, talking plant from outer space into one unforgettable night at the theatre.

For those unfamiliar, the show follows Seymour Krelborn, a shy florist’s assistant who discovers a strange plant during a solar eclipse.

As the plant – Audrey II – grows, so too does Seymour’s fame… and the danger around him.

What sets this production apart is the incredible student leadership and involvement powering it.

At Warrnambool College they are passionate about student voice, and this school production is one of the most exciting examples of that in action.

Students have taken the reins in pivotal roles - not just on stage, but behind the scenes as choreographers, band members and creative leaders.

They’ve spent countless hours rehearsing, developing routines, refining harmonies and bringing the show to life with infectious enthusiasm and professionalism.

From the pit to the spotlight, students have poured their creativity into every moment of this performance.

Their resilience, teamwork, and drive have transformed ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ into something

truly special – a celebration of what young people can achieve when given the chance to lead.

Performances will be held

at the Lighthouse Theatre on Friday, August 30 at 7pm, and Saturday, August 31 with both a matinee and a 7pm performance.

Tickets are available now via the Lighthouse Theatre website.

or just looking for a great night out, ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ is weird, witty, and absolutely wonderful. Don’t miss it.

This can lead to short and/or long-term negative impacts on a women’s overall health and wellbeing.

The sessions will run over a period of six weeks, starting on August 13, and will be held from 9.30am-11.30am each Wednesday in Warrnambool.

Sweet treat for festive season

THE Civic Green will host a sweet new event in the lead up to Christmas, with an inaugural Twilight Dessert Night on Friday, December 19.

A Warrnambool City Council initiative, the event will feature live music, entertainment and a variety of food vendors offering a range of treats.

Expressions of interest to get involved are now open, with Warrnambool businesses to receive priority.

Over 300 people responded to a survey about what sort of Christmas activities they’d like to see in 2025, with mayor Cr Ben Blain saying this feedback was crucial in developing the Twilight Dessert Night.

“It was great to have such a strong response that will help us tailor our Christmas activities,” he said.

“The Civic Green was the most popular location to host an event, and comments talked about wanting an event that brings people together. Something family-friendly, but able to be enjoyed just as much by people of all ages.”

The event will run from 6.30pm until 9.30pm.

“The idea of the dessert night is to complement the city’s existing hospitality options,” Cr Blain said.

“So you can have dinner at your choice of restaurant, then head down to the Civic Green for dessert and to enjoy live music and a great atmosphere.

“This will be council’s main Christmas activity in the CBD this year, and we’re working on other fun activities in December, so watch this space.”

Council is also keen to hear from community groups that would like to run their own activities and help bring extra cheer to the City Centre this festive season, with council happy to discuss ways to support the potential costs and promotion.

“Warrnambool and District

Community Hospice ran a giftwrapping station last year,” Cr Blain said.

“It was a gold coin to get a present wrapped, and council covered the cost of the wrapping materials, so all of the money raised went straight to Hospice.

“As well as raising money, the feedback received was that it was really beneficial for Hospice members to be able to have conversations with so many people and raise awareness in the community.

“So if there are other groups that would like to run an activity, please let us know. It could be face-painting or a children’s activity; we’re open to any ideas.

“It’s a really good way to raise funds, build awareness and help spread the Christmas cheer.”

Volunteers get their hands dirty

According to committee member Peter Moir, Sunday’s event was an important and successful one despite the weather.

next event.

Around

over 1,000 native grasses and ground covers. The volunteers, whose ages ranged from as young as five through to their mid-70s, were all members and friends of the Warrnambool Coastcare Landcare group.

“We had quite a large group of volunteers, although not our biggest turnout but that was probably due to the weather forecast for the day,” Mr Moir said.

“We were lucky to have clear skies for the first half of the day, but heavy rain set in for the second half which put a bit of a dampener on things.”

Overall, Mr Moir said the group was pleased with its efforts on the weekend and was looking forward to the

“As a group we are quite active, with monthly planting days usually on the first weekend of each month,” he said.

“We either spend time planting out new areas or we do maintenance on areas previously planted.

“We also have some bigger projects on the horizon, including a Land Life project; we have 10 local farmers on board who will work together to plant out corridors between existing bushland.”

Volunteers worked hard last Sunday, planting around 1,000 native grasses and ground covers at Albert Park.

Skate and play space now open

THE barriers around the new adventure playground (and skate park) in Port Fairy came down on Wednesday and it was only a matter of minutes before locals began to enjoy the new equipment.

While much of the grassed areas remain off-limits to allow further growth, the play and exercise areas are now being enjoyed by visitors of all ages.

year-old Hudson, a keen skateboarder, was thrilled to be able to test out the new park after visiting the area “almost daily” to watch the construction progress.

On-line auction now underway

THE Warrnambool Breastfeeding Centre is hoping the community will get behind its online goods and services auction.

The auction, which began today (Friday, August 1) will run until Sunday, August 10 offering more than 100 donated items.

All money raised from the event will help the centre continue to support women and families.

According to volunteer, Barb Glare, the not-for-profit organisation receives no government financial support and relies solely on the generosity of donors to continue its operations.

“Our centre is run by a volunteer committee comprised of professionals and users of the centre and each year the committee raises funds to ensure the

centre’s sustainability,” Ms Glare said.

The Warrnambool Breastfeeding Centre, in Koroit Street, provides a free drop-in lactation service, staffed by a qualified lactation consultant who volunteers her services.

The centre also has baby change facilities and toilets, and bottle/food warming facilities.

It is centrally located in the heart of town, with a comfortable and inviting lounge for families with children.

“We also host education workshops, information sessions, study days and conferences,” Ms Glare said.

“We provide opportunities to engage socially through organised events like weekly music.”

Mother of three, Amie Schofield, is one of many parents to benefit from the centre.

“We regularly visit here when in Warrnambool,” Amie said.

“It’s the perfect spot to breastfeed and change my youngest, while my other two young children can play with some toys in the warmth.

“There’s also a toilet and kitchen facilities along with a well-stocked shop area that is also amazing. We’re very lucky to have this here in the centre of town.”

The annual online goods and services auction is a major fundraiser for the centre.

The success of this event ensures another year of operation.

“The auction is well supported by businesses who donate the goods and services and we are very grateful to them all,” Ms Glare said.

With the largest amount of donations received to date, the committee hopes this year’s auction will be one of the biggest yet.

Among the long list of items included in the auction are coffee and café vouchers, local fresh produce vouchers, paving, pilates classes, wine, an overnight stay at the Hotel Grand Chancellor and a two-night stay at the Mount Emu Creek Retreat.

“This auction really does have something for everyone so we’re hoping the community will get on board, make a bid and secure services or goods while helping out the centre,” Ms Glare said.

Volunteers head to Discovery Bay

FOR the ﬁfth consecutive year, Beach Patrol volunteers will once again make their way to Discovery Bay to spend the day clearing the beach and surrounds of debris.

Last year the group collected more than 700 kilograms of marine pollution and organisers are again anticipating a “big day out” this Sunday, August 3.

“We have 24 places available on the bus and bookings are essential,” co-leader of Beach Patrol 3280-3284

Genevieve Bale said.

“Discovery Bay is a stunningly scenic section of our coast and volunteers can expect to see extensive beaches, sand dune fields, and wetlands.

“Unfortunately, this remote and beautiful place is also a place where marine litter washes up.”

According to Ms Bale, volunteers will be cleaning up Blacks Beach/ Bridgewater Lakes (the most easterly corner of Discovery Bay).

“Morning tea and lunch will be provided but we do ask if anyone has any dietary requirements to include those when they sign up,” she said.

“We will be cleaning up an area of around 800 metres so fitness is essential. It won’t be an easy day out, it will be fun but challenging.”

Ms Bale said the area also incorporated a steep hill (800m) that heads down to the beach from the car park.

Volunteers will also be dragging rubbish collected from the beach up the hill.

“This activity does require physical exertion so participants need to be reasonably fit and to be able to walk at least five kilometres comfortably,” she said.

All volunteers are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes and take along a refillable water bottle (and dress for the weather).

Those wishing to take part should book their spot by emailing 3280@ beachpatrol.com.au or text 0411 145 130.

Moving and grooving while seated

HAVE you ever wanted to try a dance class but felt your physical limitations were a barrier?

This is the case no longer, thanks to the start of a new ‘Freedom Dance for Wellbeing’ program at the Archie Graham Community Centre in Warrnambool.

Led by dance instructor Diana Montes-Cooper, these classes are designed for older adults and those living with Parkinson’s or other conditions affecting movement who want to experience the joy of dancing, regardless of mobility or skill.

Participants will be physically and mentally stimulated, as they fuel their bodies with music and movement, have fun, form new friendships and feel good.

The first of two free sessions was held on Wednesday this week, with participants commenting on how much “fun” the class was and that it “felt good to move to music we know.”

The next free session will take place next Wednesday, August 6 from 1.30pm-2.30pm.

This will be a seated class, with options to stand and travel for participants with limited mobility.

A second class, which is mostly standing, will run for an hour from 3.30pm and will encourage participants to move at a more energetic pace.

Dance is a unique vehicle, naturally combining multiple approaches to movement and exercise, building confidence and an improved quality of life.

In these classes, participants are empowered to explore movement and music in ways that are

refreshing, enjoyable, stimulating and creative.

Various music genres and dance styles will be enjoyed in each class including, but not limited to, salsa, tango, cha cha, jazz, swing, waltz and ballet.

“We offer participants both seated and standing options to make dance accessible, no matter your age or ability and there is no need to bring a partner,”

instructor Diana Montes-Cooper said.

“After class we encourage participants to stay for some all-important socialising with their peers.”

If you or someone you know would like to try this new and exciting dance class simply call the Archie Graham Centre on 5559 4920 to book your place.

For more information contact Diana Montes-Cooper on 0429 392 244.

Participants in this week’s seated dance class had loads of fun learning new moves to music.

Thousands of books need homes

THE Rotary Club of Warrnambool is currently holding a massive book clearance sale – with all books going for just $1 each.

The club, which moved its book sales into the former Warrnambool Books store late last year, now needs to find a new home for the books.

“We were fortunate to have been allowed to use this site (the former Warrnambool Books store) for the past few months but unfortunately it is no longer available to us so we need to move all books and fittings,” Rotary member Debbie Ferguson said.

“We have more than 20,000 books here and they need to be sold, or boxed up and stored elsewhere until we can find another new home.”

Over the five weekends the club has opened the shop it has moved more than 15,000 books – raising over $35,000 which has, in turn, been filtered through various Rotary programs.

“We are certainly sad that this building is no longer available to us but we have appreciated the kindness of its owner and hope to find a new, affordable site as soon as possible,” Debbie said.

“This year we received a shipping container of books

from an estate, plus several smaller collections which was just amazing.”

She said that in addition to an extensive fiction selection, the collection of books for sale also includes numerous autobiographies as well as books on politics, transportation, cooking,

gardening, travel, arts, history and classics.

“We also have audio books and large print books as well as children’s books,” Debbie said.

“We encourage everyone to come along and grab a bargain.”

The shop can be found at 169

Fairy Street, Warrnambool.

The doors will be open from 9am until 2pm today (Friday), Saturday and Sunday.

“We’re hoping to reduce our collection which will help with the move,” Debbie said.

“All proceeds will go directly to local projects.”

With books on sale for just $1 each, Rachel Furnell, Ken Sharp and Debbie Ferguson are hoping to sell thousands of books over the weekend to help clear the large collection.

MORTLAKE MONDAY, JULY 28, 2025

SALEYARD REPORT

by MLA YARDING 1614 CHANGE 100 less

Numbers decreased to 1614 head at Mortlake, which is 100 fewer than the previous yarding.

The overall quality was similar across most categories with grain-fed cattle leading the way and displaying better breeding.

However, there was a noticeable tail of crossbred cattle in lighter condition.

Approximately 60% of the cow offering consisted of dairy breeds while the majority of beef cows were in medium to light condition.

Most regular buyers and feeders were in attendance operating on 147 bullocks, 557 trade-weight cattle, 861 cows and 49 grown bulls.

The market for bullocks and trade cattle was stronger by 20 to 30c/kg particularly for the better end grainfed cattle.

There was continued strong demand for well-bred lighter feeder steers and heifers which also gained 20c with manufacturing steers improved by 10c/kg.

Most cows were stronger by 30 to 50 c/kg cows returning to the paddock were 25c stronger.

Grown bulls remained firm, with prices 10 to 20 cents per kilogram dearer, especially for the heavier bulls.

Top prices included bullocks reaching up to 470c/kg.

Heavy beef cows sold from 400 to 449c/kg while medium and lighter weights made 370 to 410c/kg.

Dairy cows generally sold from 370 to 410c/kg for better-covered types and cows back to the paddock reached up to 390c/kg.

Manufacturing steers sold to 360c/ kg and crossbred steers made up to 410c/kg.

Grown heifers sold from 400 to 460c/kg and grown steers reached up to 460c/kg.

The better-end trade cattle realized between 410 and 494c/kg, while grown bulls sold up to 410c/kg.

HAMILTON ~ WED, JULY 30, 2025

A total of 6800 sheep and lambs were yarded at Hamilton this week, comprising 5400 lambs an increase of 800 head and 1400 sheep down by 300 head.

Compared to the previous sale the yarding was very plain and mixed in quality.

The colder and wetter weather had a noticeable impact on the presentation.

While the better lambs were supplementary fed quality declined sharply beyond these lines with very few heavy lambs available.

Most of the regular buying panel was in attendance although not all were active.

Despite the drop in quality the market remained strong with prices generally $20 to $25/head dearer across most categories relative to the quality on offer.

Trade lambs averaged between 1100 and 1280c/kg cwt with a pen of heavy lambs topping the market at $378/ head.

Feeder and restocker competition

was more subdued but remained firm for the better types.

Light lambs weighing between 12 and 16kg sold from $80 to $164/head. Lambs in the 18 to 22kg range made between $193 and $256/head while those weighing 22 to 26kg sold from $266 to $334/head.

Hoggets reached up to $300/head. There was a mixed quality yarding of trade sheep including both crossbred and Merino types being mostly medium and light weights. Not all buyers were present or active. The market gained strength with prices $8 to $10/head dearer.

Mutton realized between 700 and 820c/kg cwt.

Heavy crossbred ewes sold to a top of $280/head.

Merino wethers reached up to $210/ head and Merino ewes with skin made up to $205/head.

Terminal rams sold to a top of $140. head.

Young Rangers in action

Try This...

How smart is your right foot?

This is hysterical. You have to try this.

It is absolutely true. I guess there are some things the brain cannot handle.

1. While sitting in a chair, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number ‘6’ in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so! And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you’ve not already done so.

Finals approach for bowlers

THE regular indoor bowls pennant season ﬁnished with the fourth-placed teams in each division losing their ﬁnal matches and sliding out of their respective top four spots.

The division one incumbent was Koroit Hornets, who were defeated by second-placed Allansford Cats.

The Hornets then had to watch Port Fairy Seagulls stage a come from behind one-shot victory over Allansford Tigers, which saw Port Fairy sneak into the finals. In division two, City Slickers held fourth spot until a loss to Allansford Leopards and a big win by Dennington Devils saw the Devils jump from sixth to secure the final playoff berth.

Lawn Tennis Green’s narrow loss to third-placed Camperdown Magpies cost them a finals chance.

Allansford Pumas defeated second-placed Dennington Aces to grab the coveted last spot in the four.

Semi-finals next Monday are:

Division one: first semi-final Wannon Park Dogs v Port Fairy Seagulls, second semi-final Allansford Lions v Allansford Cats.

Division two: first semi-final Dennington Dashers v Dennington Devils, second semi-final Grangeburn v Allansford Panthers.

Division three: first semi-final Camperdown Magpies v Allansford Pumas, second semi-final Koroit Choppers v

Congratulations to Wannon Park Dogs’ Peter Baker who was victorious in the Victorian mixed pairs final in Melbourne on Sunday.

Unfortunately, Julie was unable to play last weekend, so Peter partnered with substitute Jodie Jones of Melbourne to win the title.

Congratulations also to Allansford Cats regular Max Heaton-Harris, who was partnered with Ballarat’s David Speechley, but unfortunately lost the final of the state men’s pairs by a single shot.

Darts players on target

THE Warrnambool Darts Association’s Monday night competition had its ﬁrst qualifying night earlier this week.

Players gathered at the City Memorial Bowls Club on Monday night.

Under the watchful eye of competition overseers, Abby Callaghan and Kyle Finn, about 25 people attended this week’s event.

Another qualifying night will be held next Monday.

The qualifying nights help to determine where each individual sits and in which team they are placed.

Teams consist of three players. Each team will play 27 games on a given night, with each individual playing nine matches a night.

Nail-biting ﬁnish to the season

THE final week of the Orford and District Table Tennis competition before finals will see a fight for fourth position on the ladder.

If Attunga and Myndarra both win their games, they will join Koroit on the same number of points – with only percentage separating them. Koroit, with the poorer percentage, could drop out of the four.

The two Warrnambool teams are set to play each other, with the winner to be awarded the minor premiership. Glengleeson will have their final chance to open their account when they take on Tarrone in the last round. Results from week 13 were: Warrnambool Vikings defeated Orford 8.27-3.9.

Orford’s Russel Hussey proved that the Vikings players aren’t unbeatable when he won his three rubbers.

All Vikings players won two rubbers.

Koroit lost to Warrnambool Warriors 2.10-9.28.

The Warriors’ Peter Owen won his three rubbers in one of only three defeats Koroit’s Fergus Monsborough has had this season.

Peter won his matches 11-9, 11-7, 9-11 and 12-10.

The highlight rubber of the night was when Peter and David Cranwell defeated Fergus and Tony Storer 11-4, 9-11, 11-7, 15-17 and 11-6; the rubber indicative of the high game scores throughout the scoresheet.

Attunga lost to Tarrone 4.17-7.22.

HAMPDEN FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE AROUND THE GROUNDS Split round for Hampden League

THIS Saturday will see a split round for the Hampden League.

Round 15 of the 2025 home and away fixture will see the North Warrnambool Eagles home to Cobden this Saturday, while Koroit will travel to Port Fairy to take on the Seagulls, and Hamilton will host Terang Mortlake.

The remaining round 15 matches, to be played next weekend (Saturday, August 9) will see Camperdown at home to the Roosters while Warrnambool and Portland will play at Reid Oval.

With just four rounds of the home and away season to go, the Eagles remain on top of the ladder with 12 wins under their belts and a comfortable three games clear of nearest rivals, South Warrnambool in second.

Warrnambool, Koroit and Portland round out the top five – with Terang Mortlake now sitting one game behind the Tigers.

Top-of-the-table clash

THIS weekend’s round 16 Warrnambool District League games will see a top-of-the-table clash between Merrivale and Allansford.

With three rounds remaining of the home and away season, and only percentage separating top side Merrivale from Allansford in second, all eyes will be on the game on Saturday.

When the two sides last met, back in round seven, Allansford took the win by the smallest of margins – just one point.

Final scores on the May 24 match were 8.11.59 to 8.10.58 in favour of the Cats.

In other round 16 games this weekend, Dennington will host Russells Creek, Panmure will travel to Noorat, Old Collegians will host South Rovers and Nirranda will be at home to the Timboon Demons.

Grand ﬁnal day beckons

REID Oval will come alive this Sunday when the Western Victoria Female Football League hosts its grand ﬁnal matches.

The senior women, under 18 women and under 15 girls divisions will crown their 2025 premiers after what is expected to be a great day of hotly-contested games.

The under 15 grand final will kick off at 10.15am between the Koroit Saints and the North Warrnambool Eagles.

The Eagles finished the home and away season undefeated and sitting on top of the ladder, with the Saints two games below with six wins and two losses to their name.

The two sides last met in the qualifying final on July

20, where the Saints took the win by 11 points, 3.8.26 to 2.3.15.

The Eagles will be hoping to contain the run of Saint Zoe Askew, who topped the leader board in the qualifier with two majors to her name.

In the under 18 division, Terang Mortlake will face Cavendish from 12.05pm.

While the Bloods had last weekend off after defeating Cavendish by 17 points in the qualifying final, Cavendish will be fresh off their well-earned eight point defeat of the Roosters last weekend.

When the grand finalists last met, Jada Mahony (3) and Maddison Wallace (2) were top scorers for the Bloods

while Maddison Cotton booted home two for Cavendish and will also be looking for a repeat performance.

In the senior women’s competition, South Warrnambool and Hamilton will take to the ground at 2.10pm Sunday.

The Roosters went through the home and away season undefeated while Hamilton lost just two games in the eight rounds.

Hamilton earned their spot in the final after a solid 34point victory over Tyrendarra last weekend and will be hoping to continue their momentum into this weekend.

No matter what the outcome on Sunday, all six teams have worked hard and showed great skills throughout season 2025 to earn their chance for premiership glory.

White Suffolk this year’s feature breed

THE White Suffolk has been announced as this year’s feature breed, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the Australian White Suffolk Association and the breed’s ofﬁcial recognition.

Developed in Australia to meet local conditions, the White Suffolk has grown to become the largest terminal sire breed in the country, renowned for its versatility, fertility, and superior meat-eating quality.

Backed by decades of performance recording and objective selection, White Suffolks are now a cornerstone of prime lamb production systems across a wide range of environments- from arid pastoral zones to high-rainfall mixed farming regions.

This milestone year is a chance to celebrate the

breed’s contribution to the Australian sheep industry and the producers who have driven its success.

Visitors to Sheepvention will have the opportunity to view top-quality White Suffolk exhibits, connect with breeders and learn more about the breed’s adaptability, market flexibility and ongoing innovation.

With their clean points, early maturity, and high-yielding carcasses, White Suffolks continue to deliver strong returns for producers and premium eating experiences for consumers.

Their story is one of Australian ingenuity, science-backed breeding and a commitment to continuous improvement.

Sheepvention 2025 will honour four decades of White Suffolk excellence - and look ahead to the next chapter of this proudly Australian breed.

Sheepvention this weekend

ALL roads lead to the Hamilton Showgrounds this weekend for the 2025 Sheepvention Rural Expo.

A cornerstone event on the agricultural calendar, the event will once again attract large crowds over the two days (this Sunday and Monday).

Sheepvention is renowned for providing competitors with lots of rivalry while celebrating the best in sheep breeding, farm dogs, wool handling, shearing, innovations and, for the first time, a special luncheon to celebrate and recognise women in agriculture.

The Hamilton and Western District Sheep Show is renowned for showcasing some of the finest sheep breeds in the region.

The competition attracts top breeders who present their best stock, vying for recognition and awards that highlight their dedication to genetic excellence.

This year’s feature breed will be White Suffolk.

A highlight for many, the Coprice Victorian Farm Dog Championships will again exhibit the extraordinary skills of working dogs and their handlers.

This competition tests the agility, obedience, and intelligence of working dogs as they navigate sheep into yards, a thrilling event that demonstrates the vital role these dogs play in modern farming operations.

New to the program this year, a professional shearing competition will showcase some of the best in the state. Innovation is at the heart of the agricultural industry, and the Inventions Competition celebrates this spirit.

From machinery to software, the competition provides a stage for groundbreaking ideas that could shape the future of agriculture.

With a rich history of showcasing excellence in agriculture, the 2025 Sheepvention Rural Expo promises to be an unmissable event for everyone involved in the farming community.

Professional shearing competition to debut

THIS year’s event is set to make history with the launch of its ﬁrst ever professional shearing competition.

Proudly presented as the ProWay Shearing Competition and supported by Sport Shear Australia, the event will no doubt be a major crowd pleaser.

This exciting new addition to the program will take place on Sunday in the Ram Shed.

For the first time, Sheepvention visitors will have the opportunity to witness the elite skill, speed, and precision of

professional shearers in a competitive arena.

The event promises to be a real crowd pleaser, shining a spotlight on one of Australia’s most iconic and physically demanding agricultural trades.

With competitors set to demonstrate world-class technique and endurance, the ProWay Shearing Competition will offer an action-packed experience for both seasoned showgoers and newcomers alike.

It’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated highlights of the 2025 program.

Luncheon to celebrate women in agriculture

SHEEPVENTION 2025 is proud to introduce a powerful new addition to this year’s program - the ‘Women in Agriculture’ Lunch.

The lunch will be a celebration of the women shaping the future of the agricultural industry through leadership, innovation and resilience.

To be held this Sunday, August 3 from 12 noon in the Hamilton Exhibition and Conference Centre at the showgrounds, this inspiring event will feature a panel of female voices from across the ag sector.

From trailblazing entrepreneurs bringing new products to market, to leaders breaking glass ceilings and redefining what’s possible in rural industries, the lunch will spotlight the triumphs and challenges of women forging their own paths in agriculture.

With an exciting line-up of guest speakers, attendees can expect a dynamic and thought-provoking discussion.

Guests will enjoy a delicious sit-down meal and a refreshing mocktail on arrival, creating the perfect setting for connection, inspiration, and celebration.

This new initiative reflects Sheepvention’s ongoing commitment to inclusivity and innovation, and organisers look forward to welcoming attendees to what promises to be a standout event on the 2025 program.

Welcome to Hamilton

IT has certainly been a challenging time for rural communities, so I’m excited for Sheepvention to lift spirits and give the local economy a boost.

In the few months I’ve been mayor of the Southern Grampians Shire Council, I’ve seen this region weather some significant storms.

We’ve had fires, floods, drought and escalating costs but despite these tests, rural communities are standing strong.

Sheepvention is a major rural expo that sees agricultural industry leaders make their way to the heart of the western district for a few days of premium livestock sales, competitions, exhibits, shops and much, much more.

Every year we can expect tens of thousands of people to descend on Hamilton for a huge weekend of family fun.

Sheepvention has grown from a local, small town agricultural show into a keystone event for the regional economy and this year promises to be exceptional.

Looking past the always impressive lineup of cutting-edge machinery, top shelf livestock and agri innovations, Sheepvention has become a cultural institution, somewhere to showcase community spirit and to have important conversations.

This year you’ll see the dynamic evolution of modern farming and the growing influence of women in agriculture.

We’ll have lectures addressing crucial mental health initiatives and we’ll see some of the incredible solutions farmers are finding in order to continue to do their vital work in a changing climate.

I think what sets Sheepvention apart from similar events is the ability to deliver an outstanding experience for the whole family.

We’ll have Shannon Noll kicking off the first night’s concert, fantastic food options, amazing attractions and shops, stalls and activities to engage families throughout the weekend.

Over and above everything I’ve listed, the main thing you need to know is that Sheepvention is fun. A lot of fun!

It’s the best time on the calendar to catch up with mates, let off some steam and just enjoy life for a few days.

There’s really nothing better.

So to our friends in Warrnambool and the wider southwest, please take this as an invitation to come and celebrate what makes the agricultural community so special.

Hamilton is just a short drive away.

See you there,

Cr Dennis Heslin Mayor Southern Grampians Shire

Supporting farmers through change

RUNNING a farm or regional small business is never easy, and with rising costs, dry conditions and ongoing change in the agricultural sector, it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed.

That’s where RFCS Victoria West comes in.

Their team of rural financial counsellors and wellbeing support works provide free, confidential assistance to farmers and small business owners across western Victoria.

Whether you’re facing financial pressure, planning for the future, or navigating a challenging season, the team at RFCS is there to help you.

They can work with you to help you understand your financial position, manage cash flow and budgeting, negotiate with creditors and lenders, and apply for government grants or relief support.

They can also help you plan for business continuity or relief support, and build personal and community resilience.

And they’re not just here during a crisis, they support people at all stages of their farming or business journey.

For more information call in to Site 436 in the Producers’ Market and Innovations Hub (near the Horner Street entrance) at this weekend’s Sheepvention.

The team will be on hand to answer questions, offer support and help you connect with the tools and services you need.

Alternatively, reach out to the team anytime on 1300 735 578 or www.rfcsvictoriawest.com.au.
