Warrnambool City Council’s visitor economy staff Ash Price, Susanne Kinna, Jillian Bushell and Paul Thompson celebrate silver.- 2024E
Tourism award for Warrnambool
WARRNAMBOOL has won silver at the Victorian Top Tourism Town Awards.
The city was narrowly beaten by Bendigo as Victoria’s Top Tourism Town for 2024, but finished ahead of fellow finalists Ballarat, Mildura, Echuca, Shepparton and Werribee.
Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said it was a big achievement for Warrnambool to win the silver award.
“Full credit to our visitor economy staff who worked hard on putting together a very strong submission,” he said.
“While the judges were very impressed, the public vote played a very big part too so thank you to everyone who voted to help Warrnambool win the silver.
“As a holiday destination, Warrnambool really does have it all; nature, culture, dining and something for all travellers.
“The award is also recognition of the many people who help to make every visitor’s time in Warrnambool a memorable one.”
Cr Blain said tourism was an important employment sector in the region, and the award demonstrated that as well as being home to world-class natural features and attractions, Warrnambool was also home to some very dedicated and passionate people.
Nearby Timboon won gold in the Top Tiny Tourism Town category (population under 1500) while Koroit was a finalist in the Top Small Tourism Town category (population under 5000).

Unpackaged celebrates 30 years
WARRNAMBOOL Unpackaged Food Cooperative is this month celebrating 30 years of community and sustainability.
The organisation will today (Friday) celebrate three decades of commitment to sustainability, community, and waste reduction.
From its humble beginnings in a home garage, the cooperative has grown into a thriving community venture with over 100 products, all managed by dedicated volunteers.
Founded in March 1994 through the Kairos program (a 12-month course of study, community service, and mission run by the Warrnambool Uniting Church), Unpackaged was established to facilitate collective purchasing of products without unnecessary packaging.
The cooperative continues to uphold its founding principles, ensuring products are purchased in bulk to minimise packaging.
Products are sourced directly from wholesalers to keep costs low and prioritised from Australian and local producers where possible.
Louise Serra, coordinator of the Warrnambool Unpackaged Food Cooperative, expressed her pride in the cooperative’s journey and its impact on the community.
“Our cooperative has always been about more than just food; it’s about
coming together as a community to make sustainable choices that benefit us all,” Ms Serra said.
“Over the years, we’ve seen incredible support from our members, who share the labour of ordering, collecting and distributing products, ensuring that we can all enjoy high-quality, affordable, and sustainable goods.”
By purchasing in bulk directly from wholesalers, members benefit from significant cost savings, making highquality products more accessible to the community.
This model not only reduces packaging waste but also offers substantial financial benefits to members, who can purchase essential items at reduced prices.
“Our success is a testament to the power of community action. By working together, we’ve shown that it’s possible to make a significant impact on reducing waste and supporting local businesses,” Ms Serra said.
“We’re excited to continue this journey and to see what the next 30 years bring.”
In addition to providing costeffective and sustainable products, the cooperative fosters a vibrant community spirit through the sharing of recipes and tips.
Members regularly exchange ideas on how to use bulk-purchased items, creating a supportive network that enhances the cooperative experience. These shared resources help members make the most of their purchases and
encourage a culture of sustainability and creativity in the kitchen and household.
The cooperative operates once a month, with members paying a small annual fee to participate.
This model has allowed the community to access a wide range of products
while staying true to the cooperative’s environmental and ethical values.
As the Warrnambool Unpackaged Food Cooperative celebrates this milestone, it invites the community to join in its mission of promoting sustainability and community spirit.

$76,000 boost for Let’s Talk
THE Let’s Talk Foundation was the recipient of a $76,649 donation last weekend thanks to a hard-working group of shearers and their team of volunteers.
The Foundation was chosen as the beneficiary of the third annual 24hour Shear-a-thon, held in Warrnambool last December.
Six shearers – Roger Mifsud and his sons Corey and Brody, friend and local shearer Phil Edwards, and Nhill brothers Josh and Brandon Bone, endured an epic 36-hour ‘Shear Madness’ challenge to raise the funds.
During the event close to 5000 lambs were shorn and awareness of mental health was raised to new heights.
“Let’s Talk does a wonderful job within the community and mental illness unfortunately affects so many across the district so we thought it appropriate that the proceeds of this third event go to the foundation,” Corey Mifsud said.
The six men had their bodies and minds put to the test throughout the gruelling event but were spurred on by an enthusiastic crowd, by volunteer support staff and the memories of friends lost.
Last weekend’s official handover of funds to Let’s Talk brought to almost $200,000 the total raised and donated to the community from the past three events.
“We’ve achieved what we wanted to and we’re extremely proud of that,”
Corey Mifsud said.
“It’s all been for the love of our community.”
Shear Madness committee member
Brooke Siegle extended the group’s appreciation to all volunteers who had helped both prior to and on the weekend
of the event.
“We could not have achieved the great things we did without a band of volunteers,” she said.
“That included Joel Haberfield from Boyle’s Transport and Dave Bennie of DDR Bennie Transport, Sam McRae for all his driving and to Hodge Transport.”
Ms Siegle also paid recognition to Scott Mullins who provided sheep and
to all those who volunteered behind the scenes.
“We had so many volunteers working behind our team of shearers and they were simply amazing,” she said.
“Now, we are all family. We’ve been through a lot – tears, laughter, banter and everything in between.”
Ms Siegle said nominating Lets’ Talk was a ‘no brainer.’
“We have all been touched by mental health in some form or another and we wanted to do our bit to support the Let’s Talk Foundation,” she said.
“In the lead up to the most recent shear-a-thon the team lost a close friend/family member to suicide and this pushed us all harder; we really wanted to make a difference and we hope this money can do exactly that.”
Speaking with the Warrnambool Weekly after the shear-a-thon, Let’s Talk Foundation spokesperson John Parkinson extended the organisation’s appreciation to all those involved in the event.
“As an organisation we want to extend our reach as far as we can and it’s fundraising events such as this that help us to continue to do so,” Mr Parkinson said.
“If we continue to do nothing we will continue to lose lives. Speak to family and friends and if you see any subtle changes at all don’t ignore it; a problem shared is a problem spared.”
The third annual Shear-a-thon raised just over $76,000 which was last weekend officially handed over to the Let’s Talk Foundation. 2024E

From trampolines to choppers Gymnast turned flight paramedic
WHILE television screens across the district are tuned in to the Paris Olympics, Ambulance Victoria is this week celebrating its own sporting stars – with one working hard in the heart of Warrnambool.
Leigh Howlett, who used to compete for Australia in the highly competitive sport of trampolining, is a dedicated mobile intensive care ambulance (MICA) flight paramedic aboard the air ambulance helicopter based in Warrnambool.
Leigh was used to spending time in the air (albeit at a lower altitude) when he joined Ambulance Victoria.
At the age of nine, Leigh started his sporting career in diving before switching to gymnastics.
“In diving, we used the trampoline as part of our dry training,” Leigh said.
“I liked the trampoline more than diving so I started training recreationally and it snowballed from there.”
Leigh made the Australian trampoline team in 2003, holding his place in the national squad until 2007 before retiring from the sport in early 2008.
During those years, he achieved success on the national and international stage, winning a silver medal at the 2005 Youth Olympics in synchronised trampoline.
He was crowned national champion in 2007, competed at the World Championships in 2005 and 2007 (qualifying for the final in the latter year) and competed at the 2003 World Age
Games.
Towards the end of his sporting career, Leigh balanced his training and competitions with study for his paramedicine degree.
“It was busy training full-time, studying full-time and working a part-time job,” he said.
“When you’re busy you’re forced to be organised and make it work.”
Make it work he did, with Leigh graduating from university then joining AV as a graduate paramedic in 2009.
In 2022, Leigh qualified to be a MICA flight paramedic aboard one of AV’s air ambulance helicopters.
It’s one of the most highly qualified paramedic roles and considered one of the most prestigious at AV.
Leigh said his experience in elite gymnastics helped him progress to this level in his paramedic career.
“What I loved about elite sport was discipline, skill development, how to perform under pressure and the pursuit of sporting goals,” he said.
“I have learned a lot through elite sport and a lot about myself that can be incorporated into everyday life after sport.
“Particularly discipline, learning to perform under pressure and having a drive for improvement has given me a good foundation to build my career as a paramedic.”

THE latest annual survey has shown community satisfaction with Moyne Shire Council has remained well above the state and large rural shire averages.
Residents rated council’s overall performance at 60, which is consistent with last year’s survey and significantly higher than the state average of 54 (and the large rural council average of 50).
Residents also rated Moyne’s value for money at 55, overall council direction at 48 and customer service at 69.
The appearance of public areas was the highest rated area, with a score of 72, which was again above both the state and large rural averages.
Waste management, recreational facilities and emergency and disaster management were the next highest, rated at 71.
Moyne Shire mayor Cr Ian Smith said Moyne had performed above or equal to the state average and the large rural shire averages in 21 of 23 areas.
“We’ve also seen a significant increase when compared to last year in two key areas, with both consultation and engagement and recreational facilities
Strong results in satisfaction survey
increasing four points,” he said.
“It’s a good result, we have held steady overall and it’s fantastic to see the work of our teams being recognised in these results.
“It’s also pleasing to see elderly support services rated highly which reaffirms our decision to continue providing those services.”
Cr Smith said the survey gives council a good marker of how the community views its work and where improvements were needed.
“Our teams are now working on action plans to not only maintain these scores, but to improve them,” Cr Smith said.
The condition of sealed and unsealed roads remains a low point and requires an even greater focus.
“It was great so see a one-point increase on sealed roads, but both sealed and unsealed roads were still under the state and large rural averages,” Cr Smith said.
“We have more than 2000 kilometres of roads under our control and our teams are working hard to sort where we prioritise our work.”
West celebrates tree day
A NEW Silver Banksia has been planted in the grounds of Warrnambool West Primary School thanks to a donation from council.
As part of National Tree Day last Tuesday, the school joined with families from West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House playgroup ‘Toddle on Hoddle’ to enjoy some special activities.
Following a ‘green theme’ children enjoyed painting with leaves, sculpting playdough with leaves and nuts, and painting green rice with hidden ‘creepy crawlies.’
A highlight of the day was the tree planting ceremony, made possible through a donation from Warrnambool City Council.

New chapter for the Warrnibald
THE esteemed Warrnibald art prize has found a new home with the Warrnambool and District Community Hospice.
“This beloved community event has found a new home, and we are excited to witness its reimagining and continued growth within the community,” Eric Fairbank, hospice founder and patron said.
“As a grassroots organisation with a vision of serving the community, Hospice is ideally suited to encourage people to come together and celebrate, not only their talents, but also their stories.
“Such an event as the Warrnibald will generate an opportunity for us to learn more about each other, to understand each other, and ultimately to care about each other.”
Mr Fairbank, an artist who has entered the Warrnibald many times, said he was excited about the event’s new chapter.
“It has been amazing to be gifted the rights to the Warrnibald by are-able, and Hospice is exploring ideas for an amazing art-inspired event next May.”
The event will coincide with the 10th anniversary of the organisation’s volunteer-powered Hospice in the Home service, Volunteer Week, and Palliative Care Week.
“Our intention is to continue and grow the Warrnibald in the same original, successful tradition that celebrates volunteers and their stories while introducing many exciting new elements,” Mr Fairbank said.
are-able, in collaboration with the Warrnambool Art Gallery, believes that
the time is right to pass the Warrnibald baton to a new guardian.
The Warrnibald, an initiative of are-able, was first offered in 2012 as a way to engage the Warrnambool arts community while fundraising for community programs.
“We at are-able are delighted to pass the torch to the Warrnambool and District Community Hospice,” Tom Scarborough, chief executive officer at are-able said.
“The Warrnibald has always been about celebrating the incredible talent and stories within our community and we
are confident that Hospice will not only uphold this tradition but also infuse new life into the event, enhancing its impact and reach.”
For more information about the upcoming Warrnibald event and Hospice’s plans phone 5563 3220.
Capital works program on track
MOYNE Shire’s extensive capital works program is tracking well, with additional expenditure and increased productivity when compared to last year.
The monthly financial report shows 92 per cent of planned works for 2023/24 are complete, compared to 70 per cent in the previous year.
Mayor Cr Ian Smith said teams had delivered $29.9 million in capital works.
“That’s an increase in expenditure of $3.5 million and represents a 15 per cent jump in productivity,” Cr Smith said.
“Projects have included the Macarthur splashpad and playground, Koroit township renewal, the Remote Road
Upgrade Pilot Project in the Chatsworth area and electrical upgrades at Port Fairy’s Garden’s Caravan Park.
“Reducing the amount of carry forward projects has been a focus for councillors over the past year and this is a credit to our team members who have worked hard to deliver them.”
Cr Smith said the establishment of a centralised project management office within council, together with improved monitoring and forecasting, had led to
the strong result.
The preliminary end of financial year statements also showed council had cash and investments of $14.2 million and key financial indicators remain solid.
Cr Smith said the preliminary financial result for the year ended June 30, 2024 was a forecast Underlying Deficit of $8.5 million.
“Annual Federal Assistance Grants arrive at different times during the year,” Cr Smith said.
“The $10.4 million grant for the 2023/24 financial year was received and recorded in the 2022/23 financial year, creating an
anomalous transaction for the current financial statements.
“An underlying position is an accounting term which shows a financial result when non-recurrent funding is removed from calculations.”
Cr Smith said that, for council, this was capital grant funding from state and federal governments which were allocated to specific projects.
“If the $10.4 million Federal Assistance Grant had been received in the 2023/24 reporting period, the result would have been a favourable $1.9 million Underlying Operating Surplus.”

Students celebrate NAIDOC Week
KOROIT primary students enjoyed a range of fun activities during the school’s recent NAIDOC Week celebrations.
Students participated in a variety of activities throughout the week, all relating to the celebration of aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and perspectives.
The events closely followed the 2024 NAIDOC theme of ‘Keep the fire burning – Blak, Loud and Proud.’
In addition, the students gathered in their house teams and rotated through activities in each learning community.
A special visit from Aunty Tracy Roach, who shared her art and stories, was a highlight of the week.
Tracy also worked with many children to create some beautiful canvases that will be hung in the school’s office area.
Boomerang decorating with Aunty Tracy was a popular activity. Back row, left to right: Freddie Morris, Marlowe Stanley, Archie Gibson and Jack Hedges. Front: Franklin Monk, Charlotte White, Connor Heyme and Saxon Russell. 2024E

Cash boost for festivals and events
TWENTY-nine festivals and events will share in more than $110,000 in funding through Moyne Shire Council’s Festival and Event fund.
Mayor Cr Ian Smith said a compelling mix of events would be funded, ranging from community New Year’s Eve celebrations through to athletics carnivals and music festivals.
“Moyne hosts so many different types of festivals and events, and the number of applications to this fund really highlights the huge amount of variety we have on offer across the year,” Cr Smith said.
“We are very pleased to support these community-led events with this funding and we encourage people to attend as many as they can.”
Cr Smith said while funding requests were well over the amount available from the fund, some funding was provided to all who met the program’s criteria.
“The Festival and Events Fund, along with our Community Assistance Fund and Business Facade Improvement Fund, are cornerstones in supporting our communities right across the shire,” he said.
“We recognise and support the valuable contributions that community organisations and local businesses make through putting on local festivals and events.”
Among the successful recipients announced earlier this week were:
Moyneyana Festival - $9,000; Goomfest, Wangoom - $8,610; Port Fairy Marathon - $7,000; Koroit Irish

Growing old gracefully
FOUNDATION students at Warrnambool West Primary School are ‘growing old’ in style.
The students last week celebrated 100 days of school and enjoyed the chance to dress up as if they were 100 years old.
They celebrated the morning with their year five and six buddies, teachers and families. Each child received a certificate, party bag,
bubbles and a special cake while their ‘buddies’ presented them with a hand-made necklace featuring 100 Fruit Loops – and a $100 note with their photo in it.
During the day students wrote about what it was like to be 100 and what they would do.
They also brought collections from home of 100 objects to count and made ‘100 Days Smarter’ crowns.

One Night Stand concert sold out
WITHIN 24 hours of going on sale last Thursday morning, all tickets to triple j’s ‘One Night Stand’ concert were sold out.
For the first time, Warrnambool is set to host the biggest music event in its history.
The event looks set to attract about 10,000 people to Friendly Societies Park on Saturday, September 14.
The event was first held in 2004 and ran annually until 2019, with 2024 marking its return post-pandemic.
Over 2000 listeners made submissions to triple j in a bid to have the event held in their town, with Warrnambool chosen as the best candidate for 2024.
The line-up includes G Flip, Ruel, What So Not + Friends, Thelma Plum, Sycco, DICE, a triple j Unearthed competition winner, and other special guests yet to be announced.
“Warrnambool is a city with a long and proud love of music,” Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said.
“We’re also an events city, and I’m really excited to welcome so
many people from far and wide to Warrnambool in September.
“It’s also great news for music lovers in our region, with some of the biggest names in Australian music coming to Warrnambool.

“This is going to be the biggest music event Warrnambool has ever seen.”
Cr Blain said council would be delivering Live and Local as part of the One Night Stand program to provide further ongoing support to Warrnambool’s local live music community.

Police continue Operation West Connect
POLICE detected over 130 offences during an ongoing road safety operation across Victoria’s west last month.
Operation West Connect saw highway patrol units enforcing across major arterials in western Victoria, targeting high-risk driving behaviour associated with road trauma.
It comes as 141 lives have been lost on the state’s roads so far this year, with 44 of those occurring on roads in western Victoria.
Bendigo, Campaspe and the Macedon Ranges division has been the worst affected area in the state’s west with 13 lives lost this year, followed by the Ballarat and Moorabool division with a further nine lives lost.
There have been seven fatalities in the Horsham/ Northern Grampians division, five fatalities each in the Geelong/Surf Coast, Warrnambool/Southern Grampians, and the Mildura/Swan Hill divisions.
There were 11 fatal collisions on roads in western Victoria in July.
Operation West Connect is an ongoing operation focused on detecting speeding, distracted and impaired drivers.
Almost half offences detected in July were for speeding, with the majority of speeding drivers detected between 10km/h and 25km/h over the speed limit.
Police conducted 469 preliminary breath tests and 44 preliminary oral fluid tests for drugs, detecting 12 drug driving offences and one drink driving offence.
The total 132 offences detected during Operation West Connect on Monday, July 22 included 62
speeding offences, 15 unregistered vehicles and 12 drug driving offences from 44 roadside drug tests.
Results also included seven disqualified/suspended and unlicensed drivers, six seatbelt offences, five heavy vehicle offences, three vehicle impoundments and two mobile phone offences.
One drink driving offence was detected from 469 preliminary breath tests and police charged one motorist with disobeying a traffic signal
Operation West Connect will continue across Western Victoria.
This will include major arterial roads from Geelong, Bacchus Marsh, Bendigo and Echuca as far west as the South Australian border, and from the Surf Coast, Warrnambool and Portland as far north as the New South Wales border.
“Unfortunately, it’s been a terrible period on roads in Western Victoria, with 11 lives lost to date in the last month alone,” western region Road Policing Inspector Justine Ryan said.
“We’re continuing to run Operation West Connect to help keep all road users safe on roads out in the state’s west, and drive down these high levels of road trauma we’re experiencing.
“Speeding continues to be a major contributing factor to serious injury and fatal collisions on regional roads, and yet we continue to catch so many people going over the speed limit.
“Slowing down and sticking to the speed limit, as well as something as simple as putting on your seat belt, are things we can all do to remain safe on the roads.”
Directors sought for dairy board
WESTVIC Dairy is looking for four directors to join its Board.
Applications are now open for those who would like the opportunity to contribute their skills and experience to help create a vibrant, profitable, and valued dairy industry.
Three farmer positions and one specialist (non-farmer) position will become vacant at the group’s annual general meeting on Tuesday, October 8.
Board chair and farmer director, Brendan Rea, said the director positions offer the opportunity to shape the south-west Victorian dairy industry for the better.

dairy farmers and industry.”
Mr Rea said the existing board of directors would welcome the knowledge and input of new members in providing regional intelligence to
Dairy Australia to inform their planning processes and investment decisions.

Group celebrates its Dutch heritage
DO you have Dutch heritage and would like to make new friends and enjoy social activities locally?
The Warrnambool Dutch Community Group has been active in the district for more than 30 years, participating in a range of community events and activities.
The group recently appointed its new committee, with Margriet de Ruiter named as president, Johan Kluijfhout vice-president, Diane Kluijfhout secretary and Jeroen Kromhof treasurer.
“Our aim is to organise events and get-togethers for the entire Dutch community, young and old alike,” Ms de Ruiter said.
“Everyone who feels a connection to the Dutch culture or is simply curious to find out more is most welcome to join us.
“In the future we also hope to organise events that are open to the general public.”
The Warrnambool Dutch Community Group has spent the past three decades well and truly entrenched in the local community and in popular local celebrations.
Throughout the summer, visitors can enjoy the group’s ‘poffertjeskraam’ (little
Dutch pancakes) at various markets.
They have also participated in the Moyneyana Festival with a Dutch float featuring adults and children dressed in traditional costumes and clogs.
They also host well-attended Carneval parties and much more.
“As the generation that started the club (Dutch immigrants of the 50s and 60s and their children) grew older and reached retirement, it became harder to find enough volunteers to keep up this high profile,” Ms de Ruiter said.
“However, a dedicated group of committee members and volunteers kept organising a yearly, well attended lunch and the traditionally Dutch Saint Nicolas party in December.”
Ms de Ruiter said that in more recent years, the group had enjoyed an influx of younger people with Dutch heritage (either second and third generation or new arrivals from the Netherlands) keen to keep the Dutch community in and around Warrnambool connected through the Dutch club.
This has culminated in the older generation happily taking a step back to let the younger generations take the reign.
“It’s very satisfying to see the younger ones join the group and take an active participation in its activities,” she said.
Anyone interested in finding out more about the group is welcome to enjoy the next ‘Dutch lunch’ which will be held at the Dennington Bowls Club on Saturday, August 24.
Doors will open from 11.30am for collection of Dutch food orders, coffee
and a ‘good old chat.’ Lunch will be available from 12.30pm and there will also be a raffle and quiz – so take along your thinking hat and lucky pants or clogs.

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.

DETAILED SALEYARD REPORT by MLA’s YARDING 1972 CHANGE 35 more
Mortlake agents yarded 1,972 cattle this week representing a similar number to last week. The lead of the bullocks were very good however declined quickly to the manufacturing types. There was some improvement with the trade cattle on offer. Fewer heavy beef cows were yarded with numbers increasing for the offering of plainer types and dairy breeds. Most of the regular processors were present but not all were fully engaged. Feeder and some restocker interest was evident. The offering consisted of 347 grown cattle, 540 trade along with 1048 cows and 54 bulls.
The market remained strong over most categories with the heavier grown cattle gaining 10 to 20c/kg with the best of the trade weights improving by 10 to 15ckg. Manufacturing types gained 5c/kg in places heavy beef cows remained firm however the medium weights lost 20 c/kg in places,and grown bulls were 10c/kg dearer.
A small selection of vealers made a top of 350c/kg with trade weight steers and heifers making between 340 and 432c/kg. Grown cattle topped at 395c/kg with manufacturing steers selling up to 320c/kg. Heavy beef cows sold from 290 to 360c/kg with the medium weights selling from 240 to 280c/ kg. The better covered dairy cows were generally making between 220 and 310c/kg with grown beef bulls to 302c/kg Market Reporter Chris Agnew.

Hamilton agents yarded 4,250 lambs along with 1,220 sheep this week representing a decrease of 2,280 on the previous market. It was a mixed and plain offering with only a small percentage of the yarding suitable for the trade at the top end, perhaps without the very small tailenders offered last week.
The sheep offering was principally crossbred ewes. Most of the regular buyers were present but not fully active and feeder and restocker activity was subdued.
Despite the drop in numbers the market was very strong for lambs over most categories with the lightweights being $30 to $40/head dearer with lambs to the trade gaining $8 to $10/head and the small number of heavyweights remaining firm.
Most of the better lambs to the trade realized between 750c and 900c/kg cwt.
The best of the heavy lambs topped at $266/head. Light 12 to 16kg lambs sold from $55 to $137/head with lambs to the trade 18 to 11kg selling from $178 to $192 with the 22 to 26kg lambs making from $185 to $230/head.
Hoggets topped at $138/head.
Heavy sheep were back $20/head while most others remained firm to slightly softer in places.
The general run of mutton averaged between 340c and 400c/kg cwt.
Heavy crossbred ewes sold to $115 with Merino ewes to $91/head.
Merino wethers made to $89/head with Terminal sires to $34/head. Market Reporter Chris Agnew.

HAMPDEN FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE AROUND THE GROUNDS THE Finals race is on
WITH four rounds of Hampden League’s home and away season remaining, and just a game separating third from sixth on the senior football ladder, the run home to finals will be an exciting one.
While the Roosters have dominated, with just one loss on the board, North Warrnambool is also looking strong in second.
Positions three through to six are separated by only four points, with Warrnambool and Terang Mortlake just percentage apart, closely followed four points behind by Koroit in sixth and the Bombers in seventh.
This weekend’s round will see the Bombers take on South, while the Eagles and the Saints will clash at Bushfield in an all-important match for vital points.

LEAGUE AROUND THE GROUNDS THE
Mortlake to host first final
WITH just two rounds remaining of the home and away season, the Warrnambool and District finals series is shaping up to be another exciting one.
The finals series will kick off in Mortlake on Saturday, August 17 with the qualifying finals.
According to league secretary Michael Farrow, the venues for the remaining finals are yet to be confirmed.
The elimination finals will take place on Sunday, August 18 while the semi-finals will be held over the weekend of August 24 and 25.
The preliminary final will be held on Saturday, August 31 while the grand final is scheduled for Saturday, September 7.
Contest tightens in race to finals
WITH all teams determined to secure their place in the upcoming SWVFA soccer finals, some close games are expected.
Last weekend saw the Rangers’ senior women’s and men’s division two sides both suffer losses against their close rivals, Port Fairy.
The senior men reserves went down 2-1 while the senior women’s side lost 4-3 – which may prove season defining for the four teams.
A Ryan Bail hattrick, alongside two goals from Benji Hawkins and one from Cameron Pyke, saw the division one league leaders comfortably defeat the Plovers 7-1 at Seacombe Park.
The under 17s were defeated 3-1 by the Wolves at Harris Street Reserve.
The Rangers’ under 14 Blue team enjoyed a 4-1 victory over town rivals, the Wolves, at Jones Oval (with two goals from Finn Albion).
In the under 12 competition, Rangers Blue lost to Stawell 3-0, while Rangers Teal returned from Scott’s Creek with a 6-1 victory over Corangamite Lions.
‘Connect Cup’ at Bushfield tomorrow
ALL roads lead to Bushfield tomorrow for the Hampden League clash between North Warrnambool and Koroit – with both clubs vying for the inaugural ‘Connect Cup.’
Playing for the ‘Connect Cup,’ the Eagles and Saints will come together to remember, honour and pay tribute to loved ones, friends, colleagues and family members lost to suicide.
The game looks set to be action-packed on-field but, more importantly, off field the two sporting communities will gel as one to encourage open conversations about mental health, and to share stories of those lost.
Instigated by Matthew Jellie, who sadly lost his brother Paul last year, the ‘Connect Cup’ will be awarded to the club with the most games won at the end of the day.
But its significance runs much deeper than on-court and onfield results; it symbolises the importance of reaching out, of recognising and celebrating the lives and contributions of those lost, and to encourage open conversations about mental health.
“Brian (White) and Mark (Bowman) are both good mates of Paul and myself and the concept of this day between the two clubs was Brian’s idea,” Matthew said.
“After we lost Paul, we wanted to wait until the dust had settled a bit but we think now is the time to hold an event like this.”
A raffle will be run throughout the day and visitors are encouraged to take along a small momento to remember someone by – whether that be a letter, photo, small trinket or other special item – to place on the Remembrance Table. Games will commence at 10am.
Hampden juniors make state squad list
FOUR Hampden League junior netballers have been successful in progressing through to Netball Victoria’s 2025 state team squad selections.

Squad training will then be held over the weekend of December 7 and 8, with the final team selection scheduled for Sunday, December 15.
Koroit players Indi O’Connor and Shelby O’Sullivan, South Warrnambool’s Ruby McKinley and Camperdown’s Piper Stephens have all been invited to attend.

Table tennis finals begin
THE finals series for the Orford and District Table Tennis Association has begun.
In finals, once the winner has reached six rubbers no others are played – which can make for an earlier night.
However, it seems only one A grade followed this rule while B grade played out the night (it must have been colder at Orford than Warrnambool!).
A GRADE
First semi-final:
Attunga defeated Port Fairy 6.23-5.19. The last rubber was needed when Ian Wortley was sent out at five-all to play Port Fairy’s Tony Storer, winning in three games.
Six of the 11 rubbers were extended, with the longest game 17-15 during Kelly Wortley’s defeat of Ray Young 11-6, 1517, 13-11, 11-5 and 11-5.
Both teams won a five game doubles rubber.
For the winning side, both Kelly and Val Wortley won two rubbers while Fergus Monsbourgh won his three rubbers for Port Fairy.
Ray Young won a long, come-frombehind rubber against Ian 8-11, 8-11, 11-9, 11-8 and 11-7.
Warrnambool Vikings’ Rehan and Tess won their two rubbers.
Tess defeated David Cranwell 9-11, 11-6, 11-6, 6-11 and 11-6 while Rehan defeated Peter Owen 11-9, 12-14, 8-11, 11-3 and 14-12.
Vikings won the first doubles 9-11, 8-11, 11-8, 11-5 and 11-9.
Warriors then won the second doubles 12-10, 11-9, 5-11 and 11-9.
Peter Owen was the Warriors’ singles winner.
Preliminary final:
This will be played at the Warrnambool table tennis stadium next Wednesday, August 7.
Warrnambool Warriors will face Attunga.
With a win each this year, it is anticipated that Warriors’ combination of Peter Owen, Darren Smith and David Cranwell will be too strong for the Attunga team. However, if Attunga’s Val, Kelly and Ian Wortley can win both doubles then anything could happen.
A close 6-5, late night is expected after high scoring games and long rubbers.
B GRADE
First semi-final:
Glengleeson defeated Tarrone 6.21.3415.17.335.
As the score indicates, this was a closely fought final with five extended rubbers and a sprinkling of long games – with fiveall going into the last rubber.
Glengleeson’s Mark Murrey won his three rubbers which helped set up this final’s win for his side.
He was supported by Gareth Spring who won two rubbers and teamed to win the first doubles 11-7, 11-6, 9-11 and 11-6.
Mark survived a strong challenge from Tarrone’s David Warhurst 11-9, 11-6, 8-11 and 11-6 to win his three rubbers.
Gareth defeated Steven Young in the last rubber.
The only five-game rubber was Tarrone’s win in the second doubles, coming from behind 8-11, 10-12, 11-7, 11-2 and 11-8.
Second semi-final:
Myndarra defeated Orford 7.23-4.16.
Aaron Rowbottom was ably supported by the Myndarra youngsters when he won his three rubbers.
He defeated Russell Hussey 6-11, 11-7, 11-9, 8-11 and 11-5 to open Myndarra’s account in the first rubber. Myndarra continued to win both the doubles while Ally Rowbottom won two rubbers.
Jensen Rowbottom won the nail-biting rubber of the night 9-11, 13-11, 11-4, 6-11 and 14-12 against Orford’s Chloe Bartlett. He had another long rubber, going down to Jaden Clapp 10-12, 12-10, 12-10, 3-11 and 2-11.
Russell was Orford’s best with two rubbers.
Preliminary final for B grade will be played at the Orford Hall next Wednesday, August 7.
Glengleeson will face Orford.
Orford won both times this year, 6-5, however much will depend on Russell Hussey winning his three rubbers.
The Orford team will need to win both doubles as they have previously.
Either Jaden Clapp, Chloe Bartlett or David Rowbottom will also need to win a rubber to advance to the grand final.
If Gareth Spring, Mark Murray or Lindsay Morton upset any of those players, they will advance.
Glengleeson has been one of the most improved sides this season and anything could happen in this final.
The playing order, and winning the doubles, will play an important role in this game.
All the best to the Orford players representing Warrnambool in the Donough Shield this weekend in Mt Gambier.
It’s hoped the ‘Connect Cup’ may become an annual event between North Warrnambool and Koroit. 2024D
State title for Shirley
DENNINGTON bowler Shirley Hogan won her biggest indoor bowls trophy last Sunday, taking out the Victorian Ladies Champion of Champions title in Melbourne.
Shirley qualified to compete in Melbourne after defeating Allansford’s Sally Madden 16-14 at the recent Champion of Champions indoor event in Warrnambool.
Frank Harney defeated George Draffen with the same scoreline of 16-14 in a repeat of the 2023 local Champion of Champions men’s final.
Frank and Shirley both travelled to Melbourne for Sunday’s Victorian finals, with Frank narrowly losing to eventual finalist Stuart Hedger of Ballarat.
Shirley won her first game 17-16, her semi-final 22-20 and defeated former Warrnambool player Anne Draffen in the final, 20-19, to take out her first state title. Warrnambool pennant semi-finals were played on Monday night with some exciting finishes.
The Allansford Lions team of Rob McCrabb, Doug Byron, Alan MacCulloch and Russell Kerr booked a spot in the division one grand final defeating top side Allansford Cats, coming back from an early 1-10 scoreline to win 22-19.
James Ruddle’s Allansford Tigers will meet Jacinta Marney’s Cats in next week’s preliminary final, having defeated the Maureen Drennan skipped Wannon Park Dogs 14-10 in the first semi.
In division two, top side Allansford
Leopards (Brad Murphy, Julie Shiels, Andrew Lackie and Colin Ruddle) was too strong for Liz Lenehan’s Allansford Cougars, winning 25-15 to progress to the grand final.
The Cougars will meet Gill Phillip’s Port Fairy in the preliminary final next week.
Port had a solid 22-10 win over Karl Keegan’s Wannon Park Hounds.
Division three had the crowd entranced with two very exciting conclusions.
The first semi-final between John Keane’s Koroit Choppers and Lorraine O’Keefe’s Cooramook Saints was tied after 18 ends, requiring an extra end.
After an umpire’s measure, the extra end was declared a tie, which resulted in a second tie break end.
The Koroit team eventually emerged victors by a single shot.
The second semi between Rylan Pech’s unbeaten Grangeburn looked headed for an upset win over Dennis Brook’s Wannon Park Barkers.
However, with the scores tied and down in the head, the Grangeburn skip knocked the kitty from the mat in a desperate attempt to make shot.
That resulted in a four shot penalty and a replayed end.
Grangeburn made five shots on the replay to steal the passage straight to the grand final.
Dennington’s Shirley Hogan won the Victorian Champion of Champions title in Melbourne last weekend. 2024E
Shand tops under 15 league award
TALENTED North Warrnambool footballer Lily
