Repair cafe open this weekend

THE Warrnambool Repair Café will be open for business once again tomorrow, Saturday, June 7.

Volunteers are expecting a steady stream of visitors when the repair café holds its next session this weekend.

The repair café can be found at the West Warrnambool Neighbourhood House in Pectan Avenue Park.

Accessible parking is available at 10 Carolyn Crescent, Warrnambool.

The café will be open from 10am until 12 noon, with volunteers on hand to fix, stitch and repair various items.

This free community event encourages locals to reuse and renew household items such as bicycles, clothing, garden tools, toys, furniture and more.

Following the ‘reuse/recycle’ message, the Warrnambool Community Garden will host a ‘sip and stitch’ session on Saturday, July 26.

During the session, participants will have the opportunity to learn basic repair techniques – including patching, hemming and sewing on buttons – that will save clothes and money.

This session will be held at the Warrnambool Community Garden, 2 Grieve Street, Warrnambool.

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor

I can imagine how the morale of the CFA membership, both permanent staff and volunteers, is dropping to an all-time low after the announcement was made (Thursday, May 15) to introduce this new tax.

Enough has been said by communities around Victoria for which I give my support to.

I was an active volunteer firefighter for nearly 30 years and was bestowed the title of Life Member of a CFA volunteer brigade in 2005 for diligent service to the community during that time.

Governments, both federal and state cannot place a monetary value on the time, service, knowledge and commitment of volunteer members.

Battling the fires in the Grampians over the Christmas period was a combined effort and without CFA volunteer support we can only imagine the scale of the event.

Not only were CFA volunteers assisting directly with fire suppression activities on the fireground, but there were also CFA volunteers who gave their time to “stepup” and fill the vacant stations while the home brigade attended the fire.

The CFA machine was in full steam ahead and working overtime.

This fire started on government land and scorched private property.

Where were the thousands of FFM staff required to fight fires of this magnitude?

Unfortunately, they simply don’t exist – so the CFA volunteers step-up without question. The state relies on its volunteers.

Members of local western Victoria brigades gave their time willingly and “free” of remuneration.

These are the members who paid the Fire Services Levy for that financial year.

These are the members who gave more than their time.

There are members who lost property and farm infrastructure yet cannot claim from the state government.

The state government has been well recompensed by those members.

The state government is so cashstrapped it cannot employ additional FFM staff it desperately needs.

Herein lies the next problem which has been the fault of the present state government.

The Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund – ESVF.

After a protracted fire event (only one of many across the state during the 2024/25 fire season) now the state government has, in its bureaucratic wisdom, decided to impose an extremely harsh penalty not only upon those volunteers but every ratepayer statewide.

I find it hard to comprehend the impact of such financial imposition.

What this now means is that volunteer firefighters will be required to pay to attend fires and emergency situations through the ESVF.

It’s as simple as that – paying for a service they continue to volunteer for.

In the Warrnambool Weekly (Friday, May 23) Member for Western Victoria, Labor’s Jacinta Ermacora,, most important claim was that this levy was “ensuring party solidarity.”

Obviously, the constituents she represents mean “nothing” to her at all. It’s all about the party.

Her other claim in the article about “busting her guts over the past few months” is nothing but hypocrisy.

She was not busting her guts to ensure changes were made to the proposed ESVF in support of Victorians, it is all about “party solidarity!”

I am aware of a $13.5 million drought support package announced in September 2024 and the latest $15.9 million package announced on May 15, 2025 to provide technical and decision-making support across the state. More needs to be done.

Council adopts Budget

LOOKING after existing assets and investing in housing-related infrastructure feature prominently in Warrnambool City Council’s 2025-26 Annual Budget.

The Budget, which was passed at a council meeting earlier this week, includes a $9.25 million investment in existing assets and a capital works budget of $28.9 million.

“We have a focus on reducing the asset renewal gap which means council is investing in and looking after its existing council buildings, bridges, roads and paths which are valued in excess of $850 million,” mayor Cr Ben Blain said.

“Investing in the infrastructure we already have was some of the feedback we heard from the community during consultation for the development of the Budget and Council Plan.”

Council will invest $200,000 in capital works for its holiday parks; $800,000 to upgrade the roof at AquaZone; $800,000 towards making the Civic Centre more accessible; and $200,000 to renew and upgrade the outdoor netball court surfaces at Caramut Road.

The capital works budget of $28.9 million will include $5.2 million for an innovative key worker accommodation project at Shipwreck Bay Holiday Park; $7.2 million for completion of work at Wollaston Road (including relocating high voltage powerlines) and $534,000 for new footpaths in the industrial precinct to ensure safe linkages to residential areas.

“We’ve also set aside funding to create a precinct plan for the former saleyards site in Caramut Road,” Cr Blain said.

“This is an important parcel of land with enormous potential and we will make sure it is developed in a way that delivers the best possible outcome for our city.”

Cr Blain added that the precinct plan, which included the Wollaston Road investment, key worker

accommodation at the holiday park and advocating for the Harrington Road housing project, is part of a focus on enabling residential growth and contributing to a housing solution.

The Budget forecasts rates of $36.5 million, a municipal charge of $5.9 million and a waste charge of $7.8 million.

Together, this will provide council with a tax income of $50.4 million.

The remaining forecast $58 million of revenue is sourced predominantly from user fees and grants.

The rate increase is in line with the state government’s rate cap of three per cent, with the average impact of the increase on homeowners to be $1.36 a week.

The Warrnambool Library also featured in the Budget, with $177,000 set aside for new books.

“The library opened in late 2022 and has attracted thousands of members and visitors each year,” Cr Blain said.

“We believe the library has the largest membership of any single organisation in Warrnambool.”

Three years ago council introduced a new winter event, Solstice Search Party, that instantly struck a chord with many in the community and the region.

“We have committed to staging this event once again and we encourage local businesses to leverage this family-friendly celebration opportunity at a traditionally quiet time for tourism in Warrnambool,” Cr Blain said.

“As part of this year’s renewal program, council will also complete works on a property it owns that houses a number of vulnerable, disadvantaged Warrnambool residents.

“The service is operated by a local charity and we will invest in the property to ensure it meets contemporary expectations.”

As with other sectors, pricing pressure is driving costs in local government and putting pressure on council’s underlying financial position.

According to the mayor, this “financially responsible

Budget” forecasts a small operating surplus that builds on council’s long-term sustainability while continuing to deliver on initiatives that fulfil the objectives of the Council Plan.

“Council continues to use your rates and charges efficiently to deliver important services and community infrastructure,” Cr Blain said.

‘It’s important to note that the state and federal governments collect about 95 per cent of the taxes paid by Australians.”

Moyne Shire Council Community Update

From the Mayor:

Advocating on behalf of our community has been at the forefront of our minds this May as we seek to get better support and recognition for the difficult times our community is going through.

Our first instance occurred with the announcement of the Emergency Services and Volunteer Fund Levy which we as a Council opposed. It was disappointing to see it passed by the Victorian Parliament, despite the widespread concerns and, during the worst drought conditions in 60 years.

We vigorously advocated on behalf of our rural communities and agricultural sector, which we believe will face a disproportionate financial burden from the levy.

While the Victorian government has recently announced a temporary backdown on the levy with a temporary cap at the 2024/25 rate for all primary production properties across the state for the coming financial year, we will continue to urge the State to ensure the burden is not unfairly borne by our rural communities.

At the May 2025 Council Meeting our Council also called upon the Commonwealth and Victorian State Governments to amend the definition of a natural disaster to include significant drought events.

We believe a natural disaster declaration would open opportunities for lump sum payments, short-term income support and other grants and loans that are currently not available to our farmers at a time when their most urgent need is cashflow.

While we may not be able to get the water flowing, the chance to get some cash flowing to our farmers and into our regional economy, with a declaration such as this, would be a game changer.

Now that winter, and the hope of more rain, is officially here, there is still plenty to do around our region. Kicking it all off this King’s Birthday Long Weekend is the Port Fairy Winter Weekends.

The forecast is for wet weather, but we encourage you to get outside and embrace it for the sake of our farmers, with live music, the annual dachshund dash, our Moyne Next Gen young makers market, art shows and of course the winter classics mulled wine and hot food (temperature and taste).

Jump online and check out Winter Weekends - Port Fairy on Facebook and everything the program has to offer.

While we are looking local, I encourage everyone to VOTE NOW in our annual Love Local Moyne Awards which are currently open.

These awards are an opportunity to celebrate our local Moyne businesses and their staff at an awards night featuring a presentation from renowned Australian designer and advocate for the power of collaboration, diversity, Lisa Gorman.

We’ve received some fantastic nominations across the four categories: Most Sustainable Business, Best Customer Service, Most Community Focused and Made in Moyne so I encourage you to check out all the nominees, support local and cast your vote today: www.surveymonkey. com/r/H7HFW5J

Wishing everyone a safe and restful long weekend and we’ll catch you again at the end of June.

GRASSMERE CFA captain John Houston and fellow brigade member

Peter Murphy are responsible for one of the biggest tunes to be released on social media since the state government announced its controversial emergency services and volunteers fund (ESVF) levy.

The catchy lyrics of their song, ‘The Day The CFA Cried,’ have been heard far and wide, with more than 210,000 views on the Warrnambool Weekly social pages alone (as of last Wednesday) and almost 9,000 reactions.

The compilation perfectly sums up the feelings of many CFA volunteers, farmers, business owners and families across the state who have expressed their anger and frustration over the ESVF levy.

“We came up with the lyrics over a couple of drinks at the fire shed,” Houston said.

“The response the song has received has been amazing.

“But it’s just a small part of a big fight and one that we will continue until this tax (levy) is totally axed.”

In the wake of community outcry, the state government has announced a temporary backdown on its controversial emergency services levy while pledging money for struggling farmers.

In a statement released late last week, the government said it would cap its ESVF levy at the 2024/25 rate for all primary production properties across the state for the coming financial year.

The government also pledged $37.7 million in additional funding for farmers struggling with drought conditions – this includes an increase in infrastructure grants to $10,000 and grants of $5,000 for all farmers across the state (expanded

to cover water carting and pasture reestablishment).

However, of concern to farmers is that the government made it clear the ‘pause’ was for this year only.

“This tax will hang over the heads of every Victorian, including farmers, businesses and home owners, for every year to come,” Houston said.

“This tax needs to be axed totally. We are all united in this fight and we won’t back down until we achieve this.”

VFF (Victorian Farmers Federation)

president Brett Hosking said the recent government announcement with regards to the pause on the ESVF increase for the 2025/26 year was “a step in the right direction” but it was not enough.

“This reprieve for farmers is a good start but it’s not enough,” he said.

“It doesn’t change the underlying problem; this levy is an unfair cost shift onto farmers. It needs to be scrapped altogether not simply paused.”

Mr Hosking will join the government’s recently appointed 13-member Drought Response Taskforce.

The taskforce will also include:

Ministers Jaclyn Symes (Minister for Regional Development), Gayle Tierney (Water) and Ros Spence (Agriculture);

Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria Michaela Settle;

Nationals MP for Murray Plains Peter Walsh;

Regional Cities Victoria Chair, Cr Shane Sali;

Rural Councils Victoria deputy chair, Cr Kate Makin;

National Centre for Farmers Health, Dr Susan Brumby;

CWA Victoria president, Jenny Nola; President of the Hamilton and District

Grassmere CFA captain John Houston (pictured) and fellow brigade member Peter Murphy were the brains behind the

Stock Agents Association, Heath Templeton; NAB executive for regional and agribusiness, Khan Horne; and General manager, corporate and public affairs, Bendigo Bank, Robert Musgrove.

It is believed the taskforce met for the first time this week, with a further package of support to be delivered (according to the state government) “as soon as possible.”

Member for Wannon Dan Tehan has also thrown his full support behind those fighting to scrap the tax.

“Make no mistake, this is nothing more than a delay tactic,” Mr Tehan said.

“An even harsher hike is almost certainly waiting next year to claw back what’s been lost.

“The message to Premier Allan is clearthis levy increase shouldn’t just be delayed

WARRNAMBOOL mayor Cr Ben Blain

has welcomed the state government’s expanded drought support package.

As a member of the South West Victoria Alliance (SWVA), Cr Blain said he believed the establishment of a bipartisan drought taskforce was a “positive step” toward a more coordinated and long-term response to the unfolding drought crisis.

“This latest package provides some welcome relief for farming communities doing it tough,” he said.

“And we particularly acknowledge the efforts to bring both sides of politics together through the new taskforce.

“It’s a recognition that drought doesn’t discriminate and that a united response is in everyone’s best interests.”

SWVA also welcomed the inclusion of Corangamite Shire mayor and deputy chair of Rural Councils Victoria, Cr Kate Makin, as a member of the taskforce.

“Cr Makin brings both a rural and a local government voice to the table. This is something that’s vital to ensuring support is practical and targeted,” Cr Blain said.

“Our communities need to be heard by the people making decisions.”

However, SWVA warns that despite the welcome announcements, more targeted support was still urgently needed.

“Farmers need direct cash support for water and feed cartage, and secure access to those resources,” Cr Blain said.

“Without it, many will be forced to destock and that has long-term implications for

farm incomes, supply chains and regional economies.”

Cr Blain said there was also concern that some elements of the support package required matched funding, which many farmers and councils simply don’t have right now.

SWVA encourage the government to ensure support was accessible and did not place further financial pressure on those already doing it tough.

“SWVA also acknowledges the Victorian

AUSTRALIAN farmers struggling through devastating droughts and floods are being offered a lifeline to access hay.

Feed Central’s LocalAg is gathering nonbinding expressions of interest in sourcing potential hay supplies as it seeks to coordinate a national response to the dual disasters.

Managing director Tim Ford said a coordinated response was needed to assess the magnitude of the disaster and address the urgent needs of farmers.

“People can go to the webpage ‘Hay Wanted I LocalAg’ to register their interest and let us know the quantity of hay they need,” Mr Ford said.

“Having that data will allow us to have discussions with government around biosecurity protocols, particularly out of Western Australia, and with providers to start coordinating a large-scale freight and logistics plan,” he said.

Mr Ford stressed that farmers completing the form were not signing a binding contract but simply lodging an expression of interest.

He added that Feed Central’s LocalAg was

it needs to be scrapped entirely.”

* The plight of our state’s farming communities was also highlight by TV and radio personality Sam Newman on his ‘You Cannot Be Serious’ podcast earlier this week.

Prompted by a call from Bushfield’s Elise McKinnon, Newman urged the AFL to host a ‘green arm band’ round in solidarity for farmers doing it tough.

“This is so important and it’s something the AFL needs to get behind,” Newman said.

“Everyone involved with the AFL needs to stand up and say we are behind you (farmers) all; we need to show our support for those who keep this country riding on the back of a sheep’s back, so to speak.

“A green arm band day would show solidarity; we need to show a united front.”

Alliance calls for targeted support

Government’s decision to suspend the Emergency Services Volunteer Fund (ESVF) for all primary producers.

“This is a constructive and welcome step, and recognises that this levy is a burden on rural communities,” Cr Blain said.

The alliance will continue working closely with member councils, industry, local communities and government representatives to advocate for practical, immediate support and long-term drought support for south west communities.

Lifeline for farmers

working on interstate supply options.

“We realise that farmers are doing it tough from both drought and flood and getting data about their needs will allow us to help them,” he said.

“We are looking to Western Australia and Queensland for supply options but need to know what is needed so we can make a more complete submission to government and can work through the supply logistics.

“At the moment it’s happening in an adhoc way so we need an understanding of the volume required and we may be able to help with a more coordinated approach to address the problem.”

Mr Ford said farmers expressing interest would later have the opportunity to enter a contract once availability was confirmed.

“Our team understands the urgency and is working hard to move quickly,” he added. More details can be found at Hay Wanted I LocalAg.

LocalAg is an online agricultural marketplace, designed to meet the evolving needs of farmers and agribusinesses, and backed by Feed Central’s 22 years of industry experience.

Mounted replicas reflect decorated career

THERE may be a generation gap between Adam Kent and Helen Raw, but the pair have a special friendship that has resulted in a unique ‘gift’ for Helen and her family.

“I first met Helen a couple of years ago when I was guest speaker at the local Probus club,” Adam recalled.

“I’m an East Timor and Iraq veteran and run wellbeing programs for veterans and their families.

“About 18 months ago we caught up again at the Warrnambool RSL when Sir Peter and Lady Cosgrove paid a special visit,” Adam recalled.

“During our chat Helen mentioned all her husband’s medals and how she would love to one day have some replicas that could all be joined together and displayed.

“So that got the ball rolling – and I think the end result is pretty special. It’s a wonderful tribute to a highly decorated career.”

Peter Raw’s Air Force career was long and distinguished.

He enlisted in August 1941 in the Royal Australian Air Force and was posted to Southern Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) in January the following year to undertake flying training.

He attained his pilot’s brevet and was commissioned as a pilot officer in December.

He then underwent training for conversion to Liberator bombers in the Middle East during the first half of 1944.

By July that year he flew in operations from Italy to Hungary, Yugoslavia and Romania - taking part in three missions to airdrop supplies to the insurgents.

He was promoted to Flight Lieutenant and awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and

Polish’s Cross of Valour in February 1945.

Peter and Helen (Hammond) married in 1958.

Eight years later Peter was promoted to Wing Commander and in May 1966, when an Australian task force was sent to the Republic of Vietnam, he went as air support commander to coordinate helicopter operations undertaken for Australia’s two army battalions.

He commanded the entire RAAF contingent based at Vung Tau, and was also deputy commander of all RAAF forces in Vietnam.

He returned to Australia in April 1967, was awarded the Distinguished Service Order and retired in 1978.

“During our early married years, we lived on several Air Force bases around Australia, along with two overseas postings,” Helen recalled.

“We have two wonderful children, Josephine and Timothy.

“Peter always said I had the most important job – I was the chief of domestic staff.

“My four brothers all fought in World War 2 and three uncles were killed in World War 1. There’s a strong military background in my family.”

Local military historian and Vietnam Veteran Doug Heazlewood spoke highly of his fellow serviceman.

“I knew Peter when he was a senior Air Force Officer in Vietnam,” Doug recalled.

“He was a wonderful pilot and flew bombers across hostile territory in Europe; from Italy across Germany and Holland to drop supplies to the Polish troops, it was dangerous but he was highly skilled and very well respected.

“He had a highly decorated career and these medals reflect that. I don’t think I’ve

ever seen such a bigger collection honouring one man’s service.”

After surviving the many challenges of war, and adjusting to life after, tragically Peter died of thyroid cancer at the age of 66.

Helen returned to her hometown of Warrnambool around 25 years ago.

Today, her son lives in Melbourne and daughter in Bendigo – but she is content living in Warrnambool and “wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“This is a lovely place for my children to holiday and I have absolutely no regrets about returning here.

“I was the youngest in a family of seven and unfortunately all my siblings are now gone; but I’ve made lots of wonderful friends and this town is home for me.

“I will have a chat with my children and together we will decide what’s best to do with these medals. No matter where they are displayed, it’s something I’m very proud of.”

Sheedy backs farmers

LEGENDARY AFL figure Kevin Sheedy travelled to south west Victoria last week to lend his support to farmers who are enduring the devastating impacts of an unrelenting drought - one of the worst the region has faced in decades.

Sheedy was guest of honour at a group of local community wellbeing events, including those held in Warrnambool and Noorat, aimed at getting farmers off the farm and providing a vital opportunity to talk, connect, and remind one another: you are not alone.

His visit comes amid increasing calls for urgent drought relief from farmers, industry bodies and local governments.

Key measures being proposed include access to the Disaster Relief Fund, expansion of existing infrastructure support to include fodder and water, emergency rate relief, and exceptional circumstances loans to stabilise farm businesses.

Victoria is the largest food and fibre exporter in Australia, producing 65 per cent of Australia’s milk supply.

It also contributes billions to the state and national economy through its food and fibre exports.

However, this isn’t just a farming problem, this is a national food security emergency affecting supermarket shelves, food prices, and export capacity across the country.

Kevin Sheedy has long been a passionate supporter of Australia’s farming communities.

Over the years, he has stood alongside rural Australians, organising football matches and events during previous droughts to lift spirits and raise awareness.

As a strong advocate for farmers, Sheedy continues to show up when it matters most, helping to shine a light on the resilience and importance of our rural heartland.

Last week free events for farmers and those in the agricultural industry brought together more than 600 people over the two nights.

The events were highlighted by talks from agricultural and mental health professionals, in addition to Sheedy as guest speaker.

The event had been conceptualised by Warrnambool Veterinary Clinic’s Phil Keegan, who has more than 30 years farming background, after seeing the hurt those in the industry were feeling amidst dry conditions.

He worked with likeminded peers, including colleague Dr Glenn Cuzens and NAB’s Brendan Coffey, and quickly found momentum for the events to be held.

“Our goal was just to bring farmers together,” Mr Keegan said.

“I work in agricultural services and I could see that morale

was slipping away from farmers, and I felt we needed to do something quickly.

“There’s no rain around – we’re in drought conditions and yet people are drowning in the distress of it all.

“I sent some e-mails out to people saying what I was thinking – that we need to get people together, get them in a room so they can talk to one another, and help share their issues.”

“It just grew from there.”

Mr Keegan said the occasion provided an opportunity for those in the industry to forge new, or strengthen existing, connections while sharing their concerns to find practical solutions.

Industry experts were among those in attendance who could shed light on opportunities to alleviate the hardship being experienced from the practice of farming through to financial and mental health supports available.

“I think when we get some rain and farmers aren’t putting as much fodder out, that’s when the real issues will start,” Mr Keegan said.

“That’s when they’ll look at their books and say goodness we’ve had to spend a lot of money.

“They’ll need financial help, and the bankers I’ve spoken to have say they want to help – from altering interest rates to moving loans out further, but they can only help if they’re approached.

“What farmers need to do, if they are in a difficult financial situation, is go and talk to people involved in their business.

“There’s lots of services which have joined in to be involved.”

Mr Keegan said he was thrilled to see so many businesses involved in agricultural services throwing their support behind the event, highlighting a dedication to supporting farmers through difficult times.

“The part that has probably surprised me is we’d recognised farmers would want to come along, but the response from agricultural services was incredible,” he said.

“They said they’d been thinking something needed to be done but they didn’t know what to do – it’s triggered health services looking to get involved and help out.

“Everyone wanted to find a way to get involved and show their support.”

Mr Keegan said the events were a reminder of how important connection is – something not uncommon in tight-knit farming circles, but also something which can be easily forgotten as pressures mount.

“The farming community is amazing,” he said.

“I was a farmer myself for 30 years and at times you’re battling either dry or wet conditions, and something as simple as a mate picking up the phone or going to the pub to have a chat, or going to a footy game, can make all the difference.

“That’s particularly why I wanted to use the Noorat Recreation Reserve for this event – people are familiar with this ground, and feel safe.”

Warrnambool Veterinary Clinic’s Dr Glenn Cuzens (from left) and Phil Keegan, with NAB’s Brendan Coffey, were all smiles at last week’s free event for farmers in Noorat.

Flight School now open

THERE were plenty of eyes pointed skywards at the Warrnambool airfield last weekend.

Last Sunday marked the official opening of the new Warrnamboolbased flight school, giving local aviation enthusiasts the opportunity to take a step closer to earning their wings.

The primary training aircraft used by the new flight school, a Piper Cherokee, was on display during the day.

Visitors to the airfield also had the opportunity to view a Cessna 172 and two light sport aircraft from Tyabb (VANS RV-12s).

A variety of other aircraft were also on display, showcasing planes from both the Peninsula Aero Club and the Warrnambool Aero Club.

Flight school instructor Tony Franc was kept busy with students throughout the day, while many others signed up for trial introductory flights.

Open Day at Pallisters Reserve

THE Friends of Pallisters Reserve will host an Open Day on Sunday, June 22.

Participants will have the opportunity to enjoy an educational walk through the bush where the group will actively seek fungi – and then share a BYO lunch at the clubhouse.

The day will begin at the Orford Memorial Hall at 10am with morning tea and a talk by Helen Langley, a keen fungi enthusiast, who will share her stories and photos of fungi that she has found in the wild.

Home to Australian icons such as brolgas,

native orchids and other indigenous species of plants and birds, Pallisters Reserve is an important sanctuary for biodiversity in the region.

Wet weather clothing and footwear is advised.

The entrance to Pallisters Reserve is just over four kilometres from the beginning of Masons Road, Orford.

A members’ car will be leaving the Port Fairy Tourist Centre at 9.30am to lead visitors out to the Orford Hall.

Bereavement service needs your help

THE Crystal Lee Foundation has this week launched a fundraising campaign to ensure the continuation of its bereavement counselling service.

The registered Warrnambool-based charity, which has helped thousands of individuals and families across the south west, is now in need of community support.

The foundation receives no government funding but fills a critical service gap in the community.

“The foundation is calling on local businesses and community organisations to pledge annual, tax-deductible donations as the end of the financial year approaches,” Ms Clifford said.

These contributions will help keep the counselling service operating in its current form, ensuring that no-one has to face grief alone.

“Death is inevitable but grief is complex. We each grieve in our own way and in our own time,” Ms Clifford said.

“Through this campaign we hope to shine a light for those in the darkness of loss.”

The campaign is off to a great start with a generous donation from Kirky Cooks, along with an annual donation from Midfield for the next three years.

The ‘Light through the Darkness’ campaign will continue until the fundraising goal is met.

Every dollar raised will go directly toward sustaining and expanding the foundation’s compassionate support services.

TAFE students aim for national honours

A RECORD six South West TAFE students will be vying for national honours in Australia’s peak competition for trainees and apprentices.

The six students to reach the national WorldSkills finals are Warrnambool-based Maisie Rentsch (beauty therapy), Lachlan King (carpentry), Chloe Graham (cookery) and Zemma Wright (makeup services) and Portland’s Claire Bullock (hairdressing) and Jacob Sanderson (metals and engineering).

WorldSkills competitions are an opportunity for Australia’s trainees and apprentices to test their skills and knowledge in their chosen field against their peers.

The 2025 National Championships and Skills Show will be held on June 12-16 at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The South West TAFE students progressed to the national finals after winning their regional competitions last October.

Zemma Wright will be the only Victorian competing for the newly created makeup services title, while Chloe Graham will be a finalist for the second time in her cookery category after previously reaching the national finals in 2023.

It is anticipated there will be about 600 competitors participating in 60 skills categories at the finals.

As the only Victorian in the national finals, Zemma Wright

admits she’s equally nervous and excited about competing.

“I’ve had to learn some new skills over the past couple of months to cover the extra challenges at the finals,” Zemma said.

Zemma completed the make-up course last year and is continuing with hairdressing this year.

“I want to get in the beauty industry in some form but I’m not too sure exactly where as yet,” she said.

For Maisie Rentsch, the opportunity to compete at a national event will be a great opportunity to network and learn from new friends.

“I’m so excited and feel so incredibly lucky to go to Brisbane,” she said.

“It’s an amazing opportunity whether I win or not.”

Ms Rentsch is nearing the end of her Diploma of Beauty Therapy at South West TAFE’s Warrnambool campus and hopes to eventually operate her own beauty therapy business.

“The course has been really good and I’ll be sad when it ends,” she said.

“I’ve learnt so much and made friendships for life.”

Ms Rentsch said she had wanted to do make up since she was a little girl.

“I had always thought I’d go off to university but when I started doing VCAL in year 11, I found out about all these

wonderful opportunities at TAFE and everything fell into place. This is really what I wanted to do.”

Chloe Graham has tasted the competition and is keen to return for another bite.

Now qualified as a chef and working at Café Lava since her last experience in 2023, Ms Graham hopes to take the next step.

“The experience last time was amazing and I learnt so much from everyone I met,” she said.

“I’m now qualified and I’m definitely a better chef than I was back then so I’m looking forward to the competition. You can only compete if you’re 23 or under so this will be my last nationals.”

Team leader and hair and beauty teacher Kate McBain said it was a great achievement for so many local students to reach the national finals.

“The skill of people coming through the various trades is fabulous,” Ms McBain said.

“It’s amazing to be recognised as one of the 10 best in your field in Australia and it’s great for our region to have so many students representing us on the national stage.”

The students have been training for months under the guidance of a mentor, and as members of the Victorian team attended an intense training session in Melbourne on May 18-19.

For the love of dogs ...

The Austin family’s Elfinvale Kelpies is iconic to the muster, principal Tom and pups like Elfinvale Whinnie - sharing a moment, hereepitomising the bond between farmer and best mate.

In 2025, Elfinvale celebrates its 29th year at the muster, the third generation of the family returning home to be part of Casterton’s unique celebrations.

For almost 30 years, Casterton’s annual Australian Kelpie Muster has brought people together from across the globe, all with a common love - man’s best friend.

Affectionately labelled ‘The Donut Queen’, her mastery of cooking and delivering hundreds of serves of sugary desserts with friend Karen Perry and all with a warm smile and kind word, was renowned.

Judy Matthews was a contributor to the community as a muchloved health care professional, mum on countless committees supporting her children and in the words of the Casterton Kelpie Association, ‘right hand woman’ of husband John. One of her latest and greatest contributions to her community, was as a constant at ‘The Dog Bowl’ - the catering shed feeding the masses at the annual

Following Judy’s passing after a long, tough battle with cancer, her legacy is being carried on this year by daughter Casey who, with a group of friends, will take her place in The Dog Bowl, this Kelpie Weekend. Rest in peace, Jude.

Value that exceeds the price at the fall of the hammer

SINCE 1997, it has attracted more than $4.1 million in dog sales, donated more than $177,000 back to the community and this weekend, once again, the Australian Kelpie Muster and its Working Dog Auction will see the usually quiet town of Casterton – population 1600 – welcome more than 10,000 visitors from across the globe. At the heart of the weekend is the Premier Australian Working Dog Auction, which sees interest from across the globe in securing the best of the country’s working dog genetics.

IT’S standing-room-only when vendors and their dogs take to the arena for pre-auction demonstrations at the annual Premier Australian Working Dog Auction.

The profile of the event also sees vendors from across Victoria, south east South Australia, New South Wales and even Tasmania, registering their dogs for sale. From its humble beginnings, selling dogs off the back of a ute at the Casterton Saleyards to a top price of $2500 for Elfinvale Butch, to a record top price of $12,000 realised in 2012, with the sale of a Pandara Kelpies Dog from Tasmania, the Casterton auction was already recognised as a pioneer in the industry. But the sale’s interface with online platform, AuctionsPlus, was the real gamechanger. With word-of-mouth and online videos of auction lots already spreading the word far and wide, the ability for buyers to bid for their chosen lots while driving the tractor or sitting at the kitchen table, changed the face of the auction forever and in 2021, when the global pandemic hit, its true value became immeasurable.

Restrictions on travel, work and even socialising had already seen the auction in hiatus in 2020 and the decision was made to hold the sale in the online format only, with sale organisers holding their breath to see what the new format would bring. “Did that just happen,” were the only words from Casterton Kelpie Association President, Karen Stephens when Hoover, trained and sold by David and Sarah Lee of Edenhope, just north of Casterton, fetched a whopping $35,200 winning bid from a buyer in northeastern Victoria – knocking more than $10,000 off previous sale and national records. Former auction chairman, John ‘Jack’

Where it all began … Casterton’s status as birthplace of the Kelpie breed, actually begins at the homestead ‘Warrock’, located some 20 kilometres north of the township and which is now being lovingly preserved by its latest owners.

Established by Scottish cabinet maker, George Robertson, in 1844, Warrock is believed to be unique in the southern hemisphere.

Matthews, is proud of the growth of the auction, from the 1997 event when he was a member of the Apex Club co-ordinating the sale, to its present-day status, but has his own view about the measure of its success.

“Record prices are a by-product of having the right product,” he said.

“Dogs well-trained, with fantastic genetics and from a reputable vendor, with someone in the crowd that is looking for that elite animal - to either go into stud duties or more so to go into a farming enterprise - while getting a record price for that is possible and it’s nice to have, it’s not that important to us.

“Our aim is to have a quality catalogue where people have the ability to select from variety of competencies and traits, to suit a certain farmer and certain need.

“That is how we maintain our status as Australia’s premier working dog auction.”

He is confident, however, that the auction formula developed by the Casterton event, including the online videos of each lot and morning of demonstrations prior to the sale, realise the best financial outcome for the vendor.

“In a private sale, the vendor suggests what the dog is worth and the buyer accepts or rejects - and that’s the end of it,” he said.

“The beauty of the auction system is that it puts the true value on a dog, because the price is determined between a number of people, who know what they are willing to pay for that dog’s abilities and traits.”

In 2025, 53 lots from four states are on offer at this year’s working dog auction will be available for viewing on the demonstration circuit at Island Park, from 9.30am, this Sunday, with the first dog to go under the hammer at 3pm.

The ‘village’ established and built by Robertson boasted 57 buildings, constructed mostly of local timber in the Gothic revival style of the time, including shearing shed, propagation houses, stables, blacksmiths and mill, all of which made the property largely self-sufficient.

The Farquharson family, son Scott, taking the lead, is now eight years into its commitment to present Warrock Homestead as the grand and typical – and not-so-typical - Australian homestead estate that it was. Keeping the preservation work as authentic as possible, timber used in projects is harvested and milled on-site at Warrock, including the red gum boards that take pride of place as flooring for the 100-square-metre storage shed, pickets for the fence and lumber for a table in the workers’ dining room.

While impressive for its pastoral holdings and grand buildings at the time, it is a structure which is one of the smallest, but most significant places on the property, when it comes to the Kelpie story.

The Bitches Hell is a brick and wrought-irontopped square structure and the place where Kelpie was whelped and spent the first weeks of her life, before being traded into the charge of intinerant stockman, Jack Gleeson’s charge and going on to produce her own puppies, the first of the iconic breed we know today.

While holding private residences on the property, the Farquharsons welcome visitors to share their significant chapter in Australian history, all-year-round and on Kelpie Muster weekend, will have the grounds and many of the buildings open from 10am until 4pm, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, with a cuppa and scones available on-site.

MUSTER 2025

Welcome to our BIG weekend!

On behalf of the Casterton Kelpie Association, I extend a warm welcome to all who will join us for the 2025 Australian Kelpie Muster and Australia’s Premier Working Dog Auction this June long weekend.

This year, we celebrate under the theme ‘Uniting Australia – One Kelpie at a Time’.

It speaks to the strong connection forged between people, communities and the working dogs that have shaped rural life across this country, celebrating the heritage of the Kelpie at its Birthplace.

The Kelpie Muster is a gathering point - not just for breeders, handlers and dog lovers - but for anyone who values the bond between human and animal and the spirit of the land we share. Across the weekend, you’ll see this connection on display in every event, every conversation and every Kelpie at work or rest.

On Thursday evening we open the weekend at Rotary Kelpie Art Show, with entries from across Australia.

Friday, visitors are invited to discover the region, from the birthplace of Warrock, the first Kelpie, to the rolling hills and valley lookouts, or maybe even walk the Kelpie Trail, before heading to the Clarice Beckett Art Show.

Saturday, Henty Street comes to life with Kelpie-themed events and family activities from early morning until evening.

Sunday, Australia’s Premier Working Dog Auction continues to attract attention across the country.

The AuctionsPlus-interfaced sale remains a trusted platform for showcasing some of the best-trained and naturally skilled working dogs available.

Camping is available within Casterton and surrounding townships, to truly make this weekend an experience for the family.

We are proud to support future generations through events like The Geelong College Junior Handler Competition, which continues to grow.

It’s an opportunity to share skills and knowledge and to encourage young Australians to build their connection to the Kelpie tradition.

What’s on and when:

Kelpie blood runs in their veins

Three generations of Austins honour the breed

Casterton’s annual working dog auction introduced the immeasurable value of the working dog to the world in the 21st century.

But next year, Melville Forest’s Austin family will celebrate the 70th anniversary of its Elfinvale Kelpies – the legacy of one man’s foresight into what the wider world has only recently discovered …

Running a sheep operation at Elfin in Melville Forest in the 1950s, then the back blocks of the rural Western District, Tim Austin needed a team of workers. They needed to be efficient, intelligent and have the natural instincts required for working with livestock.

In 1946, G.W. Foote’s ‘Wilton-Vale’ dogs - Australian Kelpies - had appeared prominently in reports of winners at dog and agricultural shows, documented by the Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria.

A decade later Tim, visiting Wilton Vale and recognising all the traits required for an efficient farm operation in the stud’s Kelpies, selected a dog which would be the starting point for a bloodline which, 70 years later, boasts more than 8500 progenies, across the globe.

Over that time, the Austin and Elfinvale Kelpies names have been synonymous with Australian working dog breeding and training – both dogs and their humans.

In 1972, when Australian publishing house Landsdowne and author John Richardson released a series of children’s books about Australian working dogs – police dog, guard dog and of course, sheepdog – featuring photographs of the dogs in their workplace, Elfinvale was the obvious choice for a dog on the land and Suey the Sheepdog still sits proudly on bookshelves across the country. Alongside the work of children’s fiction, libraries including titles such as ‘Dog Psychology’, ‘The Female Phenomenon’ and ‘Our Australian Kelpie’ - all written by Tim over following decades – can also be found, referred to by dog breeders and trainers across the globe as a highly-respected source of knowledge in the development of their own Kelpie genetics and training. The man himself has also been requested for ‘in person’ research, delivering lectures and lessons on his beloved subjects, across the country.

The next generation

Tom Austin grew up beside his father on the Melville Forest property, with a natural affinity for the working dog, just as Tim had.

Today, the next generations of Austins –Tom, wife Pip, daughters Millie and Poppy and son George – carry on the legacy started by their father and grandfather, on the very same land.

“I was raised with the pups, raised on the property, the place where we live now … it’s in our blood, in our DNA, this relationship we have with the dogs,” Tom said.

“It’s the appreciation of what they do for us,

always trying to please us, that gives you the incentive to keep going, be involved.

“We’re connected with animals, very lucky to be with them and I think being able to work with dogs, we can appreciate the genetics, how much the genetics shape how much help they are to us ... that’s the gift we get given, they make life life so easy.

“And one of the exciting parts breeding, every dog’s different ... you see the consistency, the improvement in genetics and performance over time, but they’ve each got their own individual personality.”

While Kelpie weekend is all about the dogs, there’s another tradition hailing from the days of Jack Gleeson and the first Kelpie bitch, honoured by the Casterton Kelpie Muster.

61 Henty St

The Casterton Stockman’s Challenge, held on the banks of the Glenelg River, is the ultimate display of the working relationship between stockman, horse and dog.

Gaining popularity across the country as stand-alone events, the Casterton challenge remains unique in its field, one of few run as a ‘wet’ challenge.

Stockman’s challenges were developed to mimic traditional skills required of horse and rider at work, on a competitive arena.

They generally comprise three different disciplines over man-made courses, where horse and rider will be required to remember and repeat a riding pattern.

They’ll complete a course over a certain (usually the fastest) time and traverse an obstacle course, with things like gates, tilting bridges and ‘low hanging branches’ built to simulate riding on the farm - a dry challenge. The wet challenge puts a dog and sheep into the mix, with rider working dog, horse and sheep - separately and in unisonaround a course which includes gates, pens, a race, a bridge and natural obstacles, like trees.

It’s a true show of both the animals, working hand in hand with the stockman who needs to ride and work a dog at the same time.

The Casterton Kelpie Muster Stockman’s Challenge is held on the riverbank on the east side of the Henty Street bridge.

Austins honouring multi-generation Kelpie legacy

Continued from page 5.

That consistency in genetics and diversity in personality, has seen Elfinvale dogs find homes across the globe, from herding reindeer in Sweden, to managing livestock in all states of Australia.

“I can safely say more than 8500 dogs, across all working dog stock, would have Elfinvale genetics,” Tom said.

“In times of need, when there’s a people shortage, a labour shortage, people are looking for dogs and they are getting more and more efficient with breeding, as good as two men.

“Here at home, we run sheep and know we can rely on the dogs.

“I can put one dog in a laneway and leave it there on its own for an hour and it’ll bring the sheep home by itself.

With Casterton suffering the effects of a staggered economy and shrinking population, like many rural communities, a drive had been undertaken to bring the town back to life.

The discovery of Casterton’s status as the birthplace of Australia’s Kelpie, was a turning point for the town.

“(Ian) Spud O’Connell rang me and said they were having a dog auction, did I want to put one in,”

Tom said.

“I had a trained dog ready and we were about to head off on a honeymoon, so I thought that might pay for a few things for that.

And last month marked another special event for the stud, with our cover dog, Elfinvale Whinnie, by star couple Elfinvale Rex (sire) and Elfinvale Winx (dam), whelping her first litter.

“The only thing we haven’t been able to get the dogs to do is open the gates, we have to be there to do that, so we need to work together!”

Joining the auction

“Good old Butch put on a great performance that day and came away with the top price of $2500 – who would’ve thought?”

“Whinnie’s 15 months old now and she had her first litter three weeks ago to Elfinvale Larry, a magnificent sire,” Tom said.

“He’s a delight to train, the most easiest dog to train and everyone else in the family is very jealous that I got Whinnie.

“She’s such a faithful dog, she’s always looking back at me, like ‘what else do you want me to do’, ‘where do you want me to go”.

In 1997, a dog was just a dog. Every farmer had one or a

Almost 30 years later, Elfinvale has successfully sold dogs at every Working Dog Auction and Tom is just as confident in the genetics produced by the family’s stud, talking about each individual animal, like a proud dad.

“She travels on the ute, works in the paddock and the yards, she’s always got one foot around the corner to hold a paw or giving a lick behind the ear when she’s on the back of the bike, sitting on my lap in the ute.

“She’s a mate I couldn’t do without.”

Continuing the legacy

In 2023, the third generation of Austins took to the stage at the Annual Working Dog Auction –then 17-year-old George selling

Elfinvale Will, his first offering on the platform.

“It’s very exciting for Pip and I to see him so passionate about the dogs and wanting to get into livestock,” Tom said.

“He’s a man who loves his dogs and he’s gone north to Moulamein jackarooing on a property up there … he’s got his team of four dogs that he’s all trained himself – some of them are better than mine! – and he’s really fallen on his feet, but hell be back home for the Kelpie Muster weekend.”

This weekend, in grand tradition, two nine-month-old Elfinvale pups will join the lineup in the Working Dog Auction and with eyes already on them, Tom looks forward to seeing what their future holds.

“We had one fella drive three hours (last Thursday), he was there at 7am to have a look at them work and we’ll be doing demo’s this week, before the auctions, so hopefully there’ll be some good interest at the weekend.”

Kelpie arts’ gala opening to muster

A unique and stunning art collection calls the Casterton Kelpie Centre ‘home’, thanks to the Rotary Club of Casterton’s gala event, marking the official opening of Kelpie Muster Weekend.

Launched by the Casterton Kelpie Association in 2011, in recent years, the Casterton Rotary Club has taken on the task to create a gala under the banner of Kelpie Muster Art Show, the doors opening on 2025’s event at the Casterton Town Hall, this Thursday night at 6.30pm.

The major prize offered is the highly-coveted, $2000

Kelpie Acquisitive Art Award, a subject category featuring artwork depicting Australia’s iconic working dog and since its inception, has attracted artists from across the country.

Sponsored by the Casterton Kelpie Association, the outstanding entry is added to the collection of former winners, which remain on display at the Australian Kelpie Centre.

Past winners of the acquisitive award include this year’s judge, Brett Jarrett, for his 2023 entry, ‘The Next Command’. Rotary has also created additional prize sections to

Former acquisitive art prize winner and south-west artist, Brett Jarrett, is putting down the brush this year to take on the task of selecting this year’s bestin-show.

Leading an extraordinary life as a naturalist and artist, Brett has become one of the most collectable and recognizable realist animal painters in Australia.

He has dedicated his entire life to observing and documenting the identification, behaviour and beauty of wildlife, in particular Australian birds and whales and dolphins through his art. These special subjects have been the driving force over his 30 years as a professional painter and have taken him around the world on several occasions,

broaden the fine art experience.

The Vickery Bros Australiana Award offers a $1000 prize and allows for a wide scope of subjects, calling for an artist’s vision of anything Australian.

The Gorman Prize for Portraiture presents an additional $1000 award for painting, pastel or drawing of a person and emerging artists are recognised with two junior prizes of $100 each for any subject matter by a child up to 12 years, and youth 13 to 18 years.

The art show also offers guests the opportunity to take home their own unique piece of the muster,

becoming the most travelled of Australia’s contemporary animal artists.

Some of Brett’s accolades include work acquired by the Leigh Yawkey-Woodson Art Museum and included in its national tour in museums in New York; Maine and Texas; former signature member of the prestigious Society of Animal Artists in the U.S.A. with his paintings selected four times for their annual exhibition and national tour.

He has won Australia’s richest bird art competition as well as its People’s Choice award in the Holmes Art Prize and been a finalist in the Art Renewal Centre in the US. Brett was principle artist of The Complete Guide to Antarctic Wildlife (2002).

His Bay of Whales Gallery at Narrawong is a popular year-round tourist drawcard.

This year’s Rotary Art Show Feature Artist is Wickham Studio’s Lynda Robinson.

Born in the UK to a farming family in Cambridgeshire, Lynda met and married an Australian: “Which is how I ended up on this side of the world in this beautiful country … where the light is sensational, and the landscape is vastly different from the European landscape of my birth.”

Lynda said she had enjoyed “dabbling and daubing” since childhood, before taking up painting on a more serious scale in 1985 and daring to start entering her work in shows, with more success than she expected.

“I am now totally hooked!” she said.

“If I don’t do something ‘arty’ at least a couple of days a week I get snappy.

has emerged as my medium of choice.

“I enjoy the versatility, vibrancy and immediacy of pastel and the effects that can be achieved by blending the colours and by ‘scumbling’ one colour over another, building up layers to reach the final outcome.”

The Hilldene artist said her work was influenced by a love of the environment and country life.

“I am very much a country gal!” she said.

“I am attracted to subjects in the first instance by the way light interacts with the surroundings and I am challenged to capture atmosphere in my landscape work.

“My subjects are varied and unrestricted ranging from landscape, animals, figurative, portraiture, life drawing and still life.”

Jam-packed weekend of

It’s a mad dash for the first leg

It’s the event that kicks-off the popular Kelpie Triathlon - a series of three disciplines which sorts out the pups from the dogs - and it’s not always plain-sailing for handlers in the Kelpie Dash.

The 50-metre running track, located at the bottom end of Henty Street, sees enthusiastic Kelpie’s making their fastest

sprints possible down the runway. Or that’s the plan.

In addition to dogs like Winx and Jet, who broke the five-second mark in 2024, some competitors are know to get distracted by fans on the sidelines, stopping halfway to enjoy a pat or even sniff out a potential treat, on their way to the finish line.

How high will they fly in 2025?

Both long-time crowd favourites, Bailey and the Kelpie High Jump remain partners in crime, the wonderdog’s 2.951-metre 2016 record for the event still standing.

Arguably the Kelpie Festival’s most popular and iconic event, the high jump pits the agility of competitors against a wall which becomes progressively higher as the field of entrants makes it over the top.

In 2016, in addition to taking out the high jump, Bailey claimed the Kelpie Triathlon title and in 2022, his brother, Cooper followed in his footsteps, taking out the high jump in both 2022 and 2023. Returning to the Muster last year, Cooper equalled his 2023 height of 2.52 metres to finish third behind Kathleen Smith’s Walker. Will Walker return to defend his title, or is it time for a new dog on the block?

Youth HQ open for all ages this long weekend

If you’re looking for an outlet for your creative side, a healthy snack that you prepare yourself or just a space to take a load off, then Youth HQ is the place for you, this Saturday.

Located in the old Pedens Building at 128B, Henty Street, the former department store and used furniture retail outlet has been transformed into a space for local youth, with kitchen facilities, games area, bathroom and even a cinema – complete with popcorn machine.

This Saturday, doors will open at the conclusion of the Kelpie Country Street Parade and from 11am until 1pm, wouldbe artists can experiment with their creative

side with paint-by-numbers canvases and kits to work on and Angela from Portland Bay Pottery once again, where visitors can get hands-on for some creative fun.

If you find yourself a wee bit peckish, Casterton Memorial Hospital’s Allied Health team will be on-site with the popular smoothie bikes – pedal-powered blenders for riders to create their own delicious, healthy fruit and veggie-based snacks. The cinema will be operating with familyfriendly viewing on offer and if that’s still not enough to keep you entertained, why not join the team working on Youth HQs entry in the next Coleraine Pedal Car grand prix.

Kelpies vie to be Boss of Blueberry in their own hill climb

THE final and most gruelling leg of the Kelpie Triathlon sees competitors tackle one of Casterton’s most iconic landmarks - Blueberry Hill.

Not for the faint-hearted, the sometimes vertical face of the hill sees handlers at the top of the incline with a favourite toy, whistle or just a really loud voice, while eager Kelpies await the starter’s mark at the bottom.

While the fastest time is the aim of the game, a series of gates on the way up earn the competitor extra points but - like the Kelpie Dash - the wide open spaces and inability to see the handler during certain stages of the climb, leaves some competitors content to just roam the surrounding paddocks.

And while the event is for Kelpies, it made headlines in 2024, when a companion Corgi took on the challenge, making it all the way to the top!

Annette Ditchburn’s Chivas took the title in 2024, with Marcus Taylor and Molly from the well-known Beloka bloodlines just 0.1 seconds behind.

ARE you a prince or princess of prose?

A wizard with words, or a veritable victor of verse?

Well if you can spin a sonnet with the best of them, then the Lions Club of Casterton’s annual Bush Poets’ Breakfast, this Saturday morning, should be your first stop at the Kelpie Festival.

Paired with the famous Lions’ barbecue brekkie of bacon and egg sandwiches, the strictly amateur poetry event is the perfect platform for anyone who wants to exercise their vocal chords with a few lines of rhyme. The charm of the event is that it is strictly amateur; there’s no pressure to be professional and anyone who wants to share a poem that

Winners of the heats will receive cash prizes, with the ‘owner’ of the final winner taking the major cash prize.

Muster the troops for this year’s Kelpie Country Parade

Have you registered your entry in this year’s Kelpie Country Street Parade?

The annual event which marks the start of the Kelpie Festival Street Party is led by a stockman on horseback with his Kelpie pup, representing Jack Gleeson, the stockman who traded his horse for the pup, ‘Kelpie’, the mother of the working dog breed we know today.

The Saturday morning event sees fourlegged friends, emergency services, the Vice Regal Band, vintage cars, crazy cartoon characters and some which still have not been identified, making their way down Henty Street, with the attraction of some

serious prize money on offer.

Sponsored by the Casterton Business Development Association, first prize in the float competition offers a $500 cash prize, with $250 and $100 awarded to second and third place, respectively.

Entries for the parade are still being accepted by the Kelpie Association, up until lunchtime, this Friday.

Floats can be registered by phoning or sending a text message to the association on 0417 527 200.

The parade leaves from beside the Kelpie Centre at 10am, before novelty events and the Kelpie Dash get underway at 11am.

Junior handlers getting the gong with Geelong College

AFTER success in its inaugural year, The Geelong College Junior Handler Competition takes the stage again in 2025.

The competition invites children aged 16 years and under to demonstrate their skills, alongside their Kelpie companions.

The special event showcases not only the abilities of the young handlers and their devoted dogs, but also fosters a sens of community among budding competitors and dog enthusiasts.

Junior handlers and their four-legged friends have to opportunity to compete in events including the 50m Kelpie Dash and the Kelpie High Jump, testing speed and agility in a competitive but friendly atmosphere.

“This is a participation section where we encourage young handlers to have a go, compete with some of Australia’s best handlers, providing opportunities to showcase their skills alongside their loyal Kelpie Companions and become the next generation of trainers,” CKA President, Karen Stephens said.

Mustering excitement with ABC stars

Muster Dogs’ Kim Dodson and Banjo heading to festival

IT TAKES the unique relationship between working dogs and their handlers into homes across the country and this weekend the latest stars of ABC series, Muster Dogs, will be on the ground at the Australian Kelpie Muster, where that story began.

Muster Dogs season three’s Kim Dodson and her beloved Kelpie, Banjo, are the special guests at this year’s 29th annual muster. Kim, who lives on a mixed cropping and sheep property near Kaniva in Western Victoria with her husband Shane and their two sons, rose to national recognition as one of the five trainers featured on the hit ABC series.

Her instant connection with Banjo, delivered to her sight unseen on the first day of filming, quickly made them fan favourites.

“I had no idea what breed I was getting, but when Helen McDonald turned around with a Kelpie pup, I was over the moon; our connection was immediate,” Kim said.

While the camera crew and media spotlight presented their challenges, Kim said the real

reward was Banjo himself.

“I wanted to win - we all did - but I was already a winner, getting a dog like Banjo,” she said.

“He’s my absolute best mate.”

Kim affectionately described Banjo as a “big doofus” and a “legend at work”

“Banjo continues to thrive on the family farm and has even started his journey into yard dog trials,” she said.

“He’s had his first couple of trials and I’m super impressed.

“He’s taking a bit of a back seat for now, but he’s still coming to work; I can see he’s going to be top dog before long.”

Kim and Banjo will join other Muster Dogs contestants and breeders at the 29th Australian Kelpie Muster, which will celebrate the iconic Australian working dog.

“It’s such a privilege to be part of the Muster,” Kim said.

“I’ve been before and loved it - it’s such a fun festival full of people who share the same passion for the breed.

“Banjo’s looking forward to all the pats and probably licking everyone too - he still hasn’t grown out of that!”

The pair will participate in meet-and-greets and discussions throughout the weekend, bringing Muster Dogs’ spirit to life for fans of the show and Kelpie enthusiasts alike.

“The Muster is such an important gathering for the working dog community,” Kim said.

“It allows us all to connect, especially in a season like this.

“And let’s be honest - we can talk dogs as much as we want and no one gets sick of listening!”

MUSTER 2025

Cobber ambassador, Matthew Johnson:

Breeding, training and backing the Aussie Kelpie

WHEN it comes to working dogs, few names are as well-respected in Tasmaniaand beyond - as Matthew Johnson.

As the founder of Kelpies in Action and the breeder behind Pandara Kelpies, Matthew has dedicated his life to breeding, training and showcasing the best of what the Australian Kelpie has to offer.

His passion for the breed runs deep and his connection to rural Australia’s working dog community is second to none.

Matthew is a proud and long-time Cobber Dog Food ambassador and for good reason.

With dogs that work hard every daywhether in training, competition, or on the land - nutrition matters.

“You can’t expect a dog to work well without fuelling them right,” Matthew says. “Cobber gives them the energy, strength and condition to perform, learn and recover.”

A long-time supporter and participant in the Casterton Kelpie Muster and Working Dog Auction, Matthew made headlines in 2012 when he sold his Kelpie ‘Tom’ for a thenrecord price of $12,000.

That sale helped shine a national spotlight on the value of well-trained working dogs and cemented Matthew’s reputation as a trusted trainer and breeder.

In addition to breeding and training, Matthew is a regular fixture at agricultural events across Tasmania.

At this year’s Agfest, he delivered more than 50 working dog demonstrations, educating crowds on the intelligence, versatility and capability of Kelpies.

His clear, calm handling and practical training tips make him a favourite with dog owners, farmers and spectators alike.

Whether he’s running a training program, working a paddock, or showcasing his dogs in the ring, Matthew is a passionate advocate for the working dog community.

As part of the Cobber family, he continues to

inspire others with his dedication, his dogs, and his down-to-earth knowledge of what it takes to raise a ripper of a working mate.

The Challenge is on Cobber is calling on Australia’s toughest, stock-chasing, hard-running working dogs to battle it out for the title of the hardest working dog, with nominations now open for the 2025 Cobber Challenge, back for its milestone 10th edition.

The Cobber Challenge is an annual showdown where the country’s best working dogs go paw-to-paw in a tribute to the unsung heroes of our farms, the four-legged legends behind Australia’s billion-dollar agriculture industry.

Over the past decade, Cobber Challenge competitors have clocked up enough distance to lap Australia two and a half times, moving at a pace that would take a human

nearly half a year to keep up with - not bad for a pack that still finds time to herd livestock and chase the odd ball!

From wrangling wayward steers to guarding flocks and dominating the nation’s top trial circuit, Cobber is calling for farmers across to country to shine a light on their favourite trusted companion to give them the recognition they deserve.

To celebrate its 10-year anniversary, the Cobber Challenge is turning up the heat, introducing video submissions for fourlegged legends for the first time ever.

Cobber’s Marketing Manager, Kellie Savage, is excited for the 10th anniversary of the Cobber Challenge to be the best yet, with 2025 being the year that farmers and farm contractors from across the country throw their best paw forward in their bid for the title.

“Each year we’ve had a highly competitive field and we’re anticipating the same for our tenth year,” Kellie said.

“We’re calling on Australia’s hardest working dogs to enter the field to make the 2025 Cobber Challenge to be our best yet.

“I’m excited to see these working dogs and their farmers’ relationships blossom in the 2025 Cobber Challenge.”

Every year, Australia’s working dogs put in a massive 232 million hours on the job.

Now it’s time to see which one really puts in the hard yards.

MUSTER 2025

“Well, Chiefy wouldn’t do it like that.”

Muster legend’s memory lives on in 2025

There’s no competition to enter, no raffle tickets to buy, no walls to jump or hills to climb, but there’s one accolade at the Casterton Kelpie Muster that is the most difficult to judge - and arguably, the highest honour awarded.

On the ground since the muster’s early days, John ‘Chiefy’ McGrath was not a common sight to event-goers.

He preferred to work quietly, behind the scenes all weekend, helping to put up endless kilometres of fencing and yards and spectator seating for the working dog auction.

On his personal travels during the rest of the year, his spruiking of the event to anyone who stood still for long enough to listen, was worthy of any billion-dollar marketing campaign.

In 2014, when John suddenly passed and the Kelpie Association was left shattered by the loss, there was only one way for the group to move forward.

“The John McGrath award goes back to when John passed away, we wanted to acknowledge what a significant contributor he was to our organisation in lots of ways,” the association’s John Matthews said.

“Not only did he bring his tractor and himself, he brought his expertise and a real love of the event.

“John left an almighty legacy with our group … we had these (volunteer Casterton Secondary College kids) that didn’t get on the school bus for three days because they wanted to be in Chiefy’s company.

“Even now … we’ll be putting up all those yards and someone will say ‘well, Chiefy wouldn’t do it like that’.”

The first recipient of the John McGrath award was now association vice president and Life Member, Giles Kent, who began life with the working dog auction as Chiefy’s protégé.

The John McGrath Award is now presented by the Casterton Kelpie Association each year and recognises “the selfless and dedicated contribution of volunteers who consistently support our event, forming enduring friendships, growing our event and building a better community”.

Since the first award in 2015, the accolade has been presented to six additional recipients (the muster was not held in 2020 and 2021, due to the global pandemic), for their contributions as the unsung heroes of the Kelpie Muster and Working Dog Auction.

WITH the wonders of modern technology, Daniel Ball, on-screen, is presented with the Casterton Kelpie Association’s 2024 John ‘Chiefy’ McGrath Volunteer Award by the committee, including treasurer, Jodie Jolly.

Local artists honour Casterton-born Clarice

KELPIE Muster marks a big weekend for Artists of the Valley, with the presentation of its annual Clarice Becket Art Award and the reopening of its home, Gorman’s Art Gallery.

With the building and some artworks damaged by the October 2024 hailstorm, plans had been made to hold the award at an alternate venue, but a flurry of activity will see this Friday night’s celebration held in its traditional home.

The art award, named in honour of the Casterton-born artist whose works went unrecognised until almost half a decade after her death. And when she passed from pneumonia aged just 48, Beckett could have had no idea of the excitement her works would create, not just in her place of birth, but in taking pride of place in exhibitions at some of the country’s leading galleries.

Beckett’s unique style, muted in colours and characterised by a particular misty or atmospheric quality, was thought to be due to the fact that that she was caring for her elderly, unwell mother and the only time she had to go out to paint was in the early morning or late afternoon - she painted the world just as it appeared.

But that style is now widely known and applauded as Australian tonalism and credited to Beckett’s mentor, Max Meldrum, for his method of building ‘tone on tone’.

Following Beckett’s death in 1935, her father burned many of her works that he considered ‘unfinished’ or not good enough, before around 2000 canvasses were rescued by another family member and stored in an open-sided shed in Benalla.

When tracked down by a tenacious Rosalind Hollinrake in the 1970s - who stumbled on works she admired, signed by a ‘C Beckett’ and set out to identify the artist – only around 370 were salvageable. Her unique style and struggle to be recognised by the art world during her lifetime, as well as her Casterton connection, made her the traditional hero of local artists and the hero of the local gallery’s art award.

The $1000 Clarice Beckett Art Award will be presented at the gallery’s exhibition opening this Friday night, alongside the Glad Laslett Patron’s Award, the Clarice Beckett Interpretation Award, the 3D Award (any medium) and the People’s Choice Award.

In keeping with Beckett’s refusal to conform, the Clarice Beckett Art Prize also has few rules and regulations - any medium, any subject and any style is permitted.

A friend of the Artists of the Valley, Glad Laslett passed away in April, 2019, but her dedication to the art world was well known to daughter, Leonie, who has continued the award, in her name.

The doors open at Gorman’s Gallery at 6pm, this Friday night, with $15 tickets available at the door, ‘including nibbles and tipples’.

If lucky enough to be selected as a competitor in the Cobber Challenge, each dog will be fitted with a GPS tracker to log how far, how fast and how long they work each day over a three-week period.

Points are scored based on distance, speed and duration and tt’s three weeks of grit, grind and good old-fashioned Aussie hustle. At the end of the competition, one top dog will rise above the rest to claim bragging rights, $3000 cash, the legendary Cobber Challenge trophy and a year’s supply of Cobber Working Dog feed.

It’s not just the winner walking away wagging, second and third place also score cash prizes and feed.

Australian farmer, Daniel Pumpa and his four-legged teammate, Ripper, are veterans

of the Cobber Challenge and know what it takes to compete amongst the very best.

“We’re proud to have competed over the years in The Cobber Challenge, not only with Ripper but his dad Turbo,” Daniel said.

“For any farmer who is considering entering their working dog in this year’s competition, I can’t speak highly enough about the fantastic experience we’ve had and the great recognition that Ripper and Turbo have received for all of the thankless work they do, day after day.”

“We’re looking forward to seeing the field for this year’s competition and seeing who takes home the crown of top dog for 2025!”

Nominations are now open via the Cobber website until 22 June, 2025.

Busy days out West

WARRNAMBOOL West Primary School students have been kept busy inside and out of the classroom over recent weeks.

A special ‘Sorry Day’ was held during Reconciliation Week which involved a display of purple flowers at the front garden entrance, created by all students.

Toddle on Hoddle children created a collaged Aboriginal flag for the West Warrnambool Community House to display during the week.

Also during Reconciliation Week, Tracy Roach (Archie Roach’s niece) and her daughter Maria read ‘Took the Children Away’ to the whole school and explained the meaning of Sorry Day.

Last Wednesday, May 28 a special ‘music mayhem’ day was organised by foundation/one teacher Renae Blake and F-6 specialist Ryan Fitzgibbon.

Students were encouraged to dress-up as their favourite music artists for the day and spent time in mixed ages rotating through six musical activities.

This included disco and limbo, painting and child drawing, singing, meditation, games such as musical chairs and bobs and statues, and creating musical instruments with recycled materials.

Students enjoyed the school’s eisteddfod on Monday and Thursday and today, Friday, is national donut day.

Live on air from Flagstaff Hill

FLASTAFF Hill played host to two special guests late last week.

Radio station 3AW’s Ross Stevenson and Russel Howcroft broadcast their early morning show live from the popular Warrnambool attraction last Friday morning.

Stevenson, who is believed to own property in Birregurra, has been drawing attention to the plight of south west farmers as they battle drought-like conditions in recent months.

Warrnambool City Council mayor Ben Blain was a special guest during the morning broadcast.

Warrnamb-oil a big success

FRUIT Rescue volunteers have collected almost a tonne of olives from local backyards and community spaces.

The volunteers completed their inaugural ‘Warrnamb-oil’ olive collection, with 913 kilograms of locally grown olives gathered from backyards and community spaces across Warrnambool, Koroit and Port Fairy.

Thanks to the generosity of local residents and the dedication of volunteers, these olives – which were once destined to go to waste –have been transformed into more than 140 litres of fresh, local olive oil this week.

Over an action-packed weekend, 40 volunteers of all ages raked, scraped, shook and reached for olives while a drop-off point was hosted at the Warrnambool Community Garden for those who self-picked.

The harvest culminated at a property with over 100 olive trees, where the team gathered to harvest more than 200 kilograms at the single site.

“This was a true community effort,” Courtney Mathew, director of Fruit Rescue said.

“We’re absolutely floored by the volume of olives collected. It’s proof of the power of collective action and the forgotten abundance in our neighbourhoods.”

The freshly picked olives were delivered to Grampians Olive Co. where the team provided a behind-the-scenes tour of the olive oil making process, including rinsing, sieving, mashing, malaxing and spinning the olives in a centrifuge to separate the oil. In zero-waste focus, every part of the olive is repurposed.

The twigs become sheep fodder, the remaining pulp and liquid are used as soil conditioner in the groves, and even the pips are given second purpose as mulch.

The olive oil will be distributed to those who contributed olives, time, or trees, with any surplus available by donation at the Warrnambool Community Garden’s weekly market from June 18 onwards.

This will support Fruit Rescue’s ongoing work in food waste reduction and community food security.

“We can’t wait to see the delicious dishes our community can now enjoy with this local oil,” Ms Matthew said.

“It’s so rewarding to know that what would have been waste is now nourishing our community.”

Since its inception in late 2023, Fruit Rescue has made a significant impact in the community.

The group has redistributed nearly five tonnes of produce, which is the equivalent of over $36,000 in value.

Fruit Rescue extends thanks to the volunteers, property owners and supporters who made this year’s olive harvest possible. Plans for 2026 are already underway.

Numbers increased to 3,466 at Mortlake, which is 439 head more than the previous week’s yarding.

Again, it was a slightly better yarding at the top end. However, it was predominantly a very mixed yarding, with more pens of grain-fed cattle on offer.

A tail was evident in the plainer crossbred cattle. Bullocks displayed more weight despite their limited numbers. There was a good mixture of beef-bred and dairy cows, with a larger number of better-finished heavy beef cows available and fewer very light dairy breeds.

The sale attracted a near full field of buyers and feeders, operating on 239 bullocks, 787 trade weights, 2,368 cows, and 72 grown bulls.

The market was stronger by 20c/kg and more in places, especially at the top end of the grain-fed cattle, covering all categories.

Tasks to include:

bred, lighter feeder steers and heifers. Grown heifers with good cover sold dearer by 20c/kg.

Cows were generally 20c/kg stronger, although cows returning to the paddock may have been slightly softer in some areas.

Some extremely light dairy breeds remain difficult to clear. Grown bulls gained 30c to 40c/kg in places, particularly for medium weights.

Bullocks made up to 418c/kg. Heavy beef cows sold from 300c to 352c/kg, with medium and lighter weights making 260c to 295c/kg. Dairy cows generally ranged from 250c to 310c/kg. Manufacturing steers gained 20c/kg, selling to 290c/kg. Crossbred steers reached 365c/kg.

Grown heifers sold from 330c to 388c/ kg. Grown steers reached 410c/kg. Trade cattle at the better end realized 320c to 436c/kg. Grown bulls sold up to 330c/kg.

Market Reporter Chris Agnew.

A total of 18,000 sheep and lambs were yarded at Hamilton this week, comprising approximately 8,000 lambs, which is a decrease of 2,500, and 10,000 sheep, an increase of around 3,000.

It was a mixed-quality yarding of lambs, with many of the better types being supplementary fed.

However, the overall quality was not as good as last week’s offering, displaying less weight and a larger tail of secondary lambs.

Despite this, the majority of the leading lambs were of ideal trade weight and finish, representing about 25 percent of the total lamb yarding.

Most of the regular buying panel was in attendance and active. Despite the drop in quality, the sale remained strong, though without the extremes of the previous week.

Lambs up to 20kg cwt were generally softer by around $10, while the heavier lambs eased by as much as $25/head or more in places.

Lambs to the trade sold between 950c and 1080c/kg cwt. A pen of extra heavy lambs topped the sale at $330/head, estimated at 37kg cwt.

Feeder and restocker competition was very strong, with prices up to $10/head dearer, supported by local and interstate orders.

THIS WEEKEND’S MILESTONES ASH JENNINGS ~ 150 GAMES AS A FIELD UMPIRE

HAMPDEN FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE AROUND THE GROUNDS Top five shaping up

SOUTH Warrnambool’s convincing round eight defeat over Portland has given them some breathing space on the Hampden League ladder.

Heading into this weekend’s bye round, the second-placed Roosters now sit two games clear of the Tigers (in third and on equal points with the fourth-placed Warrnambool Blues).

In front of a home crowd at Friendlies last Saturday, the Roosters defeated the Portland Tigers 14.10.94 to 6.4.40.

The Roosters set the tone early, kicking 5.1 to 1.2 in the opening term before extending their lead to 35 points by the main break.

The second half saw the home side pile on 6.8 while containing the visitors to 4.1.

Archie Stevens, Harry Lee, Jed Henderson, Jack Dye, Sam Kelly and Max Irving were in the best for the Roosters while for Portland Lachlan Huppatz, Charlie Piergrosse, Josh Edwards, Jay Moody, Brett Uebergang and Toby Jennings performed well.

Walker Owen led the goal kicking for the victors with three majors while teammates Jackson Couch, Jack Dye, Sam Kelly and Riley Thomas each kicked two.

Other round eight winners were North Warrnambool, Cobden, Port Fairy and the Blues.

After this weekend’s Kings Birthday break, Port Fairy will host the Roosters, North will be home to Hamilton, Portland will host Cobden, the Bloods will travel to Warrnambool while Camperdown and Koroit will meet at Leura Oval.

WARRNAMBOOL & DISTRICT FOOTBALL NETBALL LEAGUE AROUND THE GROUNDS

Tight at the top

THE Warrnambool District League ladder remains tight at the top, with three sides tied on seven wins.

Merrivale holds top spot after eight rounds, just percentage above Allansford and the third-placed Russells Creek while Nirranda and Old Collegians round out the top five.

With Hampden League taking a bye round this weekend, all eyes will be on Mack Oval tomorrow when Russells Creek hosts Allansford, with both clubs eager to secure second spot.

Merrivale, who will be at home to the winless South Rovers and looking to consolidate, are fresh off a solid 113point thumping of the Timboon Demons last weekend.

The Tigers kicked an impressive 20.15.135 to the Demons’ 3.4.22 with Nathan Krepp and Harry Ryan both accurate in front of goals, bagging five majors each for the day.

They were well supported on the scoreboard by team-mates Jye Wilson with three and Riley McConnell with two. Among the best for the Tigers were Harry Ryan, Jack Gleeson, Jalen Porter, Wilson Lenehan, Oliver Doukas and Riley McConnell.

Other round nine matches this weekend will see Dennington host Kolora-Noorat, Nirranda at home to Panmure, Old Collegians and Timboon will play at Davidson Oval and Russells Creek and Allansford will meet at Mack Oval.

Success at association fours

THE Warrnambool indoor bowlers enjoyed a successful association fours last weekend.

Saturday’s event was won by Ann Yates, Wendy Cook, Helen Harney and Rodney Wilson (s).

Congratulations also to runners-up Wendy Howlett, Dorothy Gleeson, Ian Lake and Brendan Keane (s).

Jacinta Marney finished runner-up in the Victorian singles in Melbourne on Sunday. Jacinta just fell short of her third consecutive state singles title, narrowly losing to former Warrnambool player Anne Draffen who now plays for Bacchus Marsh. Rylan Pech also performed well, reaching the semi-finals, and narrowly lost on an extra end.

Myndarra sneaks into top four

MYNDARRA has snuck into the top four on the Orford and District Table Tennis Association ladder.

There was some small movements on the ladder this week, with Myndarra moving to fourth at the expense of Orford and Koroit moved to second by percentage.

However, Warrnambool Warriors are yet to play the same number of matches.

Week five saw Warrnambool Vikings defeat Tarrone 7.25/4.15.

Tarrone gave away three rubbers before the match started, being a player down.

David Warhurst (Tarrone) won his three rubbers and survived a strong challenge from Dom Angarano, winning 11/7, 9/11, 9/11, 11/5 and 11/5.

David teamed with Tony Storer to win their doubles 6/11, 11/7, 2/11, 11/4 and 12/10.

All Warrnambool Vikings’ players won two rubbers.

Warrnambool Warriors defeated

Orford 9.28/2.7.

Peter Owen (Warriors) won his three rubbers.

Best for Orford was Russel Hussey who won two long rubbers, defeating David Cranwell 14/14, 7/11, 11/5 and 11/1.

He also defeated Neil Ford 11/8, 13/11, 7/11 and 11/9.

Both David and Neil won two rubbers each.

Glengleeson lost to Koroit 1.7/10.30.

Glengleeson just couldn’t add to the scores when they lost the only two extended rubbers of the night in five games.

David Rowbottom (Koroit) defeated Lindsay Morton 11/13, 11/8, 6/11, 11/9 and 11/5. Ray Young (Koroit) defeated Gareth Spring 8/11, 11/6, 9/11, 12/10 and 11/89.

Both Ray and Fergus Monsborough won their three rubbers for Koroit.

Attunga lost to Myndarra 5.19.341/6.21.353.

This was another cliffhanger for Attunga who seems to be making it a

weekly occurrence.

Aaron Rowbottom (Myndarra) won his three rubbers, combining with Ally to win the first doubles against Val Wortley and Gus Looney, 11/7, 13/11, 11/9 and 11/8.

This was indicative of the night where five of the 11 rubbers were extended.

Ally also won a singles against Gus 6/11, 11/5, 6/11, 11/5 and 11/8.

Ian Wortley used his experience to defeat Ally 11/6, 11/5, 10/12, 9/11 and 12/10.

Both Ian and Kelly Wortley won two rubbers each for Attunga, while Gus won the fifth.

Winning both the doubles rubbers enabled Myndarra to take the four points.

Ladder: Warrnambool Vikings 20, Koroit 16, Warrnambool Warriors 16, Myndarra 12, Orford 8, Attunga 4, Tarrone 0 and Glengleeson 0. Week six matches – Orford v Warrnambool Vikings, Warrnambool Warriors v Koroit, Tarrone v Attunga and Myndarra v Glengleeson.

SPORT

Five huge sporting events in town

MORE than 1700 athletes are expected to converge on Warrnambool this long weekend.

With five major sporting events planned for Warrnambool over the King’s Birthday weekend, the town is gearing up for an influx of visitors.

The Warrnambool Pickleball Open will run from Friday through until Sunday at the Caramut Road stadium.

This second annual, all-inclusive tournament will showcase some great talent across 22 pickleball courts.

The Warrnambool Yoga Festival will run all day Saturday and Sunday at the Emmanuel Centre in Botanic Road. For BMX fans, the Coast to Crater Clash will take place at the Jetty Flat Reserve in Price Street from 11am until 4pm on Sunday.

Hosted by the Warrnambool BMX Club, this event looks set to attract riders from as young as two years old through to 50 years+ from all across Victoria and interstate.

Adding to the list of sporting events will be the Victorian Inflatable Rescue Boat Championships at the Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club and the Warrnambool Swimming Club will host a two day short-course meet at Aquazone (with competition set to start at 12 noon Saturday and from 9.30am Sunday).

With the majority of participants travelling to Warrnambool specifically for these events, Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said that they would provide a boost for the local economy during the quieter winter period.

“It’s great to have Warrnambool so busy over the winter,” he said.

“As a coastal city, our peak season is of course during the summer, and that’s why events like these are so important during winter.

“They bring people to our city which is great news for local businesses, especially accommodation and hospitality, and they also provide locals with quality experiences.

“It really speaks to the heart of our events strategy, which is to look at ways we can make Warrnambool a thriving city for events and activities 12 months of the year.

“We are open all year round.”

Applications for funding via Council’s Festivals and Events Fund 2025/2026 are now open and close on June 29.

Cr Blain encouraged anyone considering hosting an event to read the guidelines to see if they are eligible for council support.

“If there are any other events that want to come to Warrnambool, whether it’s over summer, whether it’s over winter, please put in (for a grant) because council really wants to support you and make sure that fund is used to really add to the vibrancy of the city,” he said.
