Art to adorn theatre wall
A NEW public art initiative will see everyday spaces across Moyne transformed into outdoor exhibition sites, with works by local and regional artists set to feature in Koroit.
The initiative marks the first stage of Moyne’s Public Art program, with potential for expansion to additional sites across the shire over time.
Moyne Shire Council has launched the program, with the Koroit Theatre to be included as one of the first sites to be activated.
Artworks will be reproduced at large scale and installed at the theatre, creating a highly visible public display.
The program will deliver a rotating series of artworks, with four exhibitions at each site every year, creating a constantly changing visual experience for residents and visitors.
The initiative is designed to showcase creative talent from across Moyne and the south west, while also bringing new
energy and interest to town centres.
Moyne Shire mayor, Cr Jordan Lockett, said the program was an important step in delivering on council’s arts and culture strategy.
“This initiative is about putting creativity into everyday spaces and making it visible to the community,” Cr Lockett said.
“It creates fantastic opportunities for local artists to
Letter to the Editor
The other side of the coin
To the Editor,
Despite last week’s article in this newspaper, it is important to indicate that there are those in the community that do support offshore wind farms.
The long-established environmental organisation, Greenpeace, define offshore wind farms as definitely not harmless - but much less so than offshore oil and gas; which involves drilling tens of wells (pretty noisy), seismic blasting (very noisy) and the ever- present risk of an oil spill.
They also say offshore wind farms are a drop in the ocean harmwise compared to whales impacted by collision with commercial shipping, and whales, dolphins, etcetera getting entangled in fishing nets.
They (Greenpeace) view offshore wind as a crucial piece of the transition to clean energy, reducing reliance on polluting oil, gas and coal.
The organisation also debunks claims that offshore wind farms are responsible for whale deaths, pointing out that fossil fuel extraction poses a far greater threat to marine wildlife.
They maintain that protecting oceans requires stopping dependency on oil and gas.
Furthermore, the Climate Council of Australia say and quote “There is enough
showcase their work, while also adding to the vibrancy of our towns and encouraging people to stop, explore and engage with our communities.
“Programs like this support local creative industries and contribute to the appeal of our region for both residents and visitors.”
Unlike traditional public art commissions, the program provides ongoing opportunities
wind potential just off Australia’s shores to power our entire electricity grid several times over. If all the offshore wind farms being proposed are built, they would collectively be capable of producing more energy than all of Australia’s remaining and aging coal -powered power stations. A combination of onshore and offshore wind, together with solar, batteries and pumped hydro will provide a diverse mix of generation and storage to power us reliably around the clock as our aging, unreliable fleet of coal-fired power stations retire.”

South west coast deserves its fair share
To the Editor,
The South West Coast has been overlooked by the Allan Labor Government for far too long, with regional communities continually missing out on the infrastructure investment they deserve.
A future Wilson Liberal/National Government will change that through a new 25 per cent Fair Share Guarantee, ensuring regional Victoria receives 25 per cent of all new Victorian Government infrastructure spending.
for artists to present their work in the public realm, with artists able to submit existing works or propose new pieces.
Expressions of interest opened last Monday week, May 18, and will close on Sunday, June 14.
The program is open to emerging and established artists based across the south west, working in a range of visual practices.
The commitment will deliver much-needed investment into regional roads, hospitals, schools, emergency services, mental health facilities and community infrastructure across the south west coast.
The policy would help address ageing and neglected infrastructure across the region, including tired sporting precincts, local roads, hospital upgrades and essential community services that residents rely on every day.
Regional communities across the south west coast have increasingly voiced frustration at being left behind while infrastructure investment continues to favour metropolitan Melbourne.
The Fair Share Guarantee is designed to ensure regional Victoria is no longer treated as an afterthought when it comes to government funding decisions.
People across the south west coast have had enough of being ignored.
Our communities are dealing with tired infrastructure, ageing sporting precincts, stretched hospitals and roads that have been neglected for years.
Families in regional communities deserve the same level of investment and opportunity as those in Melbourne.
It’s the responsibility of government to deliver for regional communities, whether it’s sporting precincts, hospitals, roads or the essential services people rely on every day.
Across the south west coast, people are angry because they’ve been left behind by Labor for too long.
This policy is about making sure regional communities finally get their fair share.

Pool to be demolished
THE fate of the current Port Fairy indoor pool facility has been sealed, with Moyne Shire councillors this week voting in favour of its demolition.
A technical report on the condition of the pool facility was released last Friday and presented to the council at its meeting on Tuesday this week.
The report outlined the findings of a detailed technical investigation into the facility and identified significant deterioration, with a substantial proportion of key building and structural elements requiring replacement or major rectification.
The reported concluded that a repairbased solution was not appropriate, noting that such an approach would involve considerable cost, risk and uncertainty and may not deliver a long-term compliant or fit-for-purpose facility.
While council acknowledged this would be difficult for the community to receive, the technical reports provided councillors and the community with a clear understanding of the current condition of the site and the challenges involved.
In moving the motion, Cr Myra Murrihy said she did so with a “heavy heart.”
“I really wish we didn’t have to make this decision because it weighs heavily on us all,” she said.
“To demolish beloved community assets such as this is sad because it deeply hurts many people in the community who have now lost access to a warm water facility. Many children, including my own, remain on waiting lists in Warrnambool for swimming lessons because we have lost this pool.”
Cr Murrihy said she understood it was a very emotional time for many, including herself, but she was also sadden by the behaviour shown by some in the community towards councillors, council officers and
staff.
“Some behaviour has been utterly disgraceful at times from the public; my kids have been threatened and I’ve been spat on in my own community. There is no conspiracy here, this was not a premeditated decision. Council did not close this pool nor own or operate it.
“We inherited this four months ago and while I totally understand this decision I’m sad that I now have to tell my children (and others) I couldn’t save their pool. It’s not the outcome any of us wanted but pouring huge amounts of money into this facility with no long-term future is not responsible.”
Cr Murrihy added that while “we can’t change what’s led us here, we can look to the future. It’s not the end of the conversation regarding aquatic facilities in Port Fairy; it’s the start of a long term strategy.”
Moyne Shire mayor Cr Jordan Lockett agreed, saying he too felt the weight in the room.
“I’ve had kids birthday parties at the Port Fairy pool and, like many others, have also used the pool for rehabilitation,” he said.
“What happens there can happen again. We need unity within our community and to work together and reimagine what’s possible once more.
“It would be financial madness to try to repair that building; it’s a difficult decision (to demolish) but it’s the responsible thing to do.”
The indoor facility was constructed and historically operated by the local community through Belfast Aquatics.
On November 21, 2025 Belfast Aquatics voluntarily closed the pool and fitness centre, advising that it was not in a position to resolve the mould and algae issues that had been identified at that time.
On January 16 this year, following the conclusion of the lease and overholding arrangements for the land, the facility came
under the council’s care and control.
In preparation for the end of lease process, council undertook a number of inspections and assessments of the facility.
These inspections raised serious concerns regarding the facility’s structural condition, compliance with contemporary standards, and the condition of key plant, equipment and infrastructure.
The investigation found that facility had widespread and significant deterioration across multiple asset classes and were not isolated to one part of the facility.
In the ‘summary of findings’ presented to council, the investigation found the electrical network was nearing, or has reached, end of life and was not adequately protected from the moist pool environment.
It also noted the pool and plant infrastructure had reached a point of ‘substantial failure’ and the liner was at the end of life – with temporary repairs or
patching considered ‘not effective.’
Major leaks were also evident from the pool structure; the filtration system had failed and was obsolete; and more than 70 per cent of the building roofing, timber frame and structural frame required replacement or rectification.
A key finding of the investigation noted that a repair-based approach would carry significant risk and uncertainty.
The asset audit report included an estimate of ‘probable cost’ for the short and medium-term remedial works identified for the existing facility – estimated at around $4.55 million.
Future provision of aquatic facilities for Port Fairy and across Moyne Shire will be considered through council’s Aquatic Facilities Strategy.
The final draft of the strategy will be considered by councillors at the June 30 meeting.
Hefty fine and conviction after dog attack
A WARRNAMBOOL man has been convicted and fined after pleading guilty to three charges relating to a dog attack in February.
The attack occurred when the man took his partner’s dogs for a walk on the grounds of Warrnambool West Primary School on Saturday, February 15.
The two dogs were not being held by a lead when they attacked a third dog, Zeus, who was also being walked at the school by its female owner.
The attack continued for about two minutes, with one of the dogs latching on to the neck of Zeus and the other dog biting Zeus’ legs.
The owner of Zeus was bitten on the
hand and scratched on the face while trying to defend her dog (which required treatment by a vet and is still recovering from the attack).
The female victim was treated in hospital, assessed by a plastic surgeon and referred to a hand specialist to treat muscle damage.
The Warrnambool man appeared in the Warrnambool Magistrate’s Court on Monday, May 18, where he entered guilty pleas to three charges.
“This terrifying attack should never have happened,” Warrnambool City Council chief executive officer Andrew Mason said.
“All dogs should be registered and
owners must be in control of their dogs at all times.
“The owners of these two dogs knew they posed a risk. It’s why they were being walked in the grounds of a school, because the man assumed there would be no-one there on a Saturday.
“It’s worth noting that the magistrate viewed taking the dogs to a school – an action that is banned –as ‘inverted logic’.
“The decision by the magistrate to record a conviction demonstrates how seriously the court views pet owners who don’t take responsibility for their pets.
“The main dog involved in the attack will now be officially declared dangerous and the second dog menacing.
“The dangerous dog declaration places additional obligations on the owner.
“These include that in public places the dogs must always be muzzled, on a lead, chain or cord and it must always wear a red and yellow striped collar.
“The premises where it is kept must have dangerous dog signs posted at the entrances.”
Along with the conviction, the man was fined $7,597 and ordered to pay compensation of $1894.91 to the female victim.
“Taking these matters to court is never a preferred course of action but in this instance it was necessary,” Mr Mason said.
“The outcome serves as a reminder that pet ownership comes with important responsibilities.”
Bridging our Community
A NEW community group will be launched in Warrnambool West next week, aimed at connecting cultures, removing barriers and building belonging.
The official launch of ‘Bridging our Community Hub’ will take place next Wednesday, June 3 from 10am at Warrnambool West Primary School.
The project, a collaborative between the school and South West Healthcare, is designed to strengthen connections between education, health and community services for local families –in particular, families with a multi-cultural background.
The hub will provide a welcoming and supportive space where families can access programs, wellbeing support, early intervention services and community opportunities in one connected setting.
“Through this partnership, we aim to break down barriers, build positive relationships and ensure every family feels supported to thrive and feel connected in the wider community,” Warrnambool West Primary School principal Karen Holdsworth said.
“Together, we are committed to creating stronger pathways for a connected society, bridging the barriers to a community that is one.”
Anyone wishing to attend next week’s launch is encouraged to register their interest via the QR code on this page.
Community embraces ALERT program
THE inaugural ALERT Warrnambool program has been hailed a huge success, with attendance numbers exceeding all expectations.
The brainchild of Jo and Greg Moon, last week’s driver safety and awareness campaign was the culmination of months of planning.
“It was our aim to bring a safe driver/safe car awareness program to south west road users and I believe we achieved that,” Jo said.
“We’re now hoping this will have a positive flow-on effect and will help reduce the road toll and traffic accidents in our region.”
The Moon’s said they were overwhelmed by the community response to the ALERT even programming.
“It was absolutely phenomenal,” they said.
“Attendance numbers exceeded our expectations at every session and workshop.
“And the response from every single one of our defensive driver training participants was that they gained so much more from the day than what they expected.”
Participants said the skills they learnt through the program will see them change small things about their driving techniques and habits – which will, in turn, have a massive difference in the way they use the road.
“We have met so many amazing people who are as passionate as we are about raising awareness and increasing positive conversations around all things car, driver and road user awareness,” Greg said.
“We want to extend a massive thanks to all our sponsors, supporters and volunteers – ALERT Warrnambool wouldn’t have been the success it was without the engagement and involvement of each of those businesses, community foundations and individuals.”
The Moon’s this week confirmed that ALERT Warrnambool was here to stay and would be an annual event on the local calendar for years to come.
“We will grow and evolve with the community’s needs and look forward to not only being an annual in-person event, but also an ongoing presence and platform to educate and promote safer driver, car and road user awareness in the south west region.’

Moyne Shire Council Community Update
Port Fairy pool facility to be decommissioned
Voting unanimously, Moyne Shire Councillors last Tuesday took the dif cult decision to decommission and remove the Port Fairy pool facility.
Councillors accepted the recommendation that the facility was not suitable for a repairbased solution, given the considerable cost, risk and uncertainty that remediation could return the facility to a long-term, fit-for-purpose operating standard.
Mayor, Cr Jordan Lockett said this news would be hard for the Port Fairy and district community to hear.
“We share the community disappointment that the facility came into our care and control in such poor condition. When the facility was built by the community in 2007, the intent back then was it would last much longer,” said Cr Lockett.
“Council acknowledges the sadness many will feel that their pool will not reopen,” he said.
“This facility meant so much to so many people, and we acknowledge that loss.”
“This decision was not made lightly, and this is not the outcome anyone wanted,” he said.
“We had a duty to consider the engineering advice, safety concerns, long-term risks, and the realities facing the facility. Based on the report’s findings, we could not responsibly pursue repair of the facility. The unfortunate reality is rectification works were only ever possible long before the facility came under Council control earlier this year.”
Questions about the future provision of an aquatic facility for Port Fairy and the surrounding community will continue to be considered through Council’s Aquatic Facilities Strategy and further community engagement.
Importantly, any future request for Federal or State Government funding will need to be supported by a clear strategic position and a strong evidence-based case. This remains necessary despite the unexpected early closure of the existing facility.
“We resolved at our February 2026 Council meeting to actively explore all viable options for future provision of an aquatic facility in Port Fairy, and that commitment still stands,” he said.
“We now look to the future and remain committed to working on what comes next.”

From forgotten fruit to liquid gold
FRUIT Rescue is calling on south west residents to turn overlooked olives into “liquid gold,” as the much-loved community olive collection returns this weekend.
Following a hugely successful 2025 session that saw more than 900kg of olives rescued and transformed into over 140 litres of fresh oil, the initiative is back for a second year with an updated communityled approach.
Residents are invited to host their own picking parties and drop off olives to be part of the region-wide effort.
“This is about unlocking the abundance that’s already around us,” director of Fruit Rescue Courtney Mathew said.
“Our neighbourhoods are full of olive trees that often go unpicked, dropping on the ground and creating a hazard.
“This year, we’re aiming to crack the tonne which will hopefully mean more than 150 litres of fresh olive oil returning for our community to enjoy.”
Courtney believes that with a little effort, the community can turn that waste into something valuable and delicious.
Residents can take part in the harvest in several ways.
Those with olive trees are encouraged
to pick their fruit and drop it off between 2pma and 4pm this Sunday, May 31 to the Warrnambool Community Garden, Koroit Community Garden or Port Fairy Community House.
Community members can also register trees that are going unharvested, with Fruit Rescue helping to match pickers.
For those without access to a tree, volunteers are invited to sign up and will be allocated local harvesting opportunities.
All olives collected through the initiative will be processed by Grampians Olive Co, with contributors receiving a share of the blended, locally pressed oil.
Participants who contribute olives can opt to receive a portion of the oil in return for a donation to cover project costs, while those happy to donate their fruit outright will help fund Fruit Rescue’s ongoing food security work.
Olives should be picked no more than two days before drop-off to ensure quality, with a mix of green and black fruit ideal.
The final oil will be a unique regional blend, shaped by the season and the community’s collective harvest.
Registrations are now open, and Fruit Rescue is urging residents to get involved, whether by picking, sharing, or volunteering.
To register olives, share a tree, or volunteer, visit fruitrescue.org.au
Courtney and Margot are eager to help out once again this weekend.

The Bombers’ legacy continues
EAST Warrnambool Football Netball Club may have disbanded but its legacy will live on thanks to a series of local donations, including $2500 to WRAD Health.
As part of its official winding up, the club recently distributed $22,000 to local not-for-profit organisations, including WRAD Health.
Treasurer Julie Scoble said the club had decided to distribute its remaining funds to local community organisations, focusing on those used by club members.
“We have had a lot of members utilise the services at WRAD over time and we were keen to support them,” she said.
“We thought WRAD was a good community-based, not-for-profit organisation that provides a valuable service to the community.”
WRAD chief executive officer Alister Stevic said the club’s donation was greatly appreciated and would be used to strengthen health services for the community.
“These funds are incredibly valuable and will help us strengthen our services, ensuring people can continue to access affordable, high-quality healthcare on their journey to health and wellbeing,”
Mr Stevic said.
“We have a passionate and highly capable team who work hard every day to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives and this financial support enables us to continue delivering meaningful care through initiatives such as our free GP clinic and alcohol and other drug support services.”
The club has also donated $6500 to the Neil Porter Legacy, $2000 to the South West Neo Natal Unit, Warrnambool Community Gardens $1500, Neighbourhood Community Centre $1500, Wish Collective $1000, Warrnambool and District Angling Club juniors $1000 and Allansford and District Angling Club juniors $1000.
It has also donated $5000 to the Warrnambool Historical Society and gifted its memorabilia to the society.

A WARRNAMBOOL City Council grant helped launch the inaugural Warrnambool Filipino Fiesta, and now organiser Florida Bridgman is encouraging anyone else looking to host an event in the city to have a go.
Applications for council’s festival and events fund, as well as the community development fund, are now open.
More than $300,000 is available across the two funds, with the festivals and events fund supporting events of all sizes, while the community development fund supports initiatives in areas including sport and recreation, health and wellbeing, the arts, environment and sustainability, and minor capital works.
While the Filipino Community of Warrnambool Inc has existed for several years now, as president, Ms Bridgman’s long-running goal was to be able to host an event celebrating Filipino culture.
“It was my dream come true,” she said.
“Since I came to Australia 36 years ago, sometimes I felt lonely, and there were only a few Filipinos in town. Now there are more, they have jobs and families. It’s a good place to settle a family.”
The first Warrnambool Filipino Fiesta was held on March 14, 2026, and attracted about 700 people.
Ms Bridgman said that as well as bringing the local Filipino community together, the event also drew Filipino expats from further afield while giving locals the chance to enjoy Filipino culture.

Over the past few years, the club has donated money to the Warrnambool District Football Netball League and other groups. This included $15,000 to
“This Filipono Fiesta is the best way for everyone to get together and enjoy Filipino traditions, games and the food especially,” she said.
Ms Bridgman said she was already looking forward to the 2027 event, which will be on March 20, encouraging anyone else thinking of starting an event to get in touch with council.
“It’s not that easy (to create a new event), but don’t be afraid,” she said.
“The council team is fantastic to talk to from day one until the end, they are there for you.”
Warrnambool deputy mayor Cr Matt Walsh encouraged all community groups, clubs, artists and event organisers to look at the grant criteria and to apply for funding.
“The funding categories are wide ranging, because we know that community members are best placed to know what will have the most impact,” he said.
“These grants are all about council helping you to help the community.
“We can help fund events, big and small. We can help fund minor capital works on facilities, we can fund community arts programs, new equipment for clubs, initiatives to help the environment, projects that bring the community together, there are so many possibilities.
“With the community development fund, we’ve broadened the parameters around creative projects even more this year to give local artists and community groups more ways to bring their ideas to life, and the health and wellbeing category is a brandnew one which could support projects that

MND fundraiser at Gateway
THERE will certainly be some rather cold people at Gateway Plaza this weekend when the centre hosts a very special ‘ice challenge.’
The challenge, to raise money and awareness for MND, has been organised by staff from Coles in conjunction with centre management.
Fiona Lee, who has worked at the supermarket since it first opened at Gateway 40 years ago, said organisers were hoping a large crowd will turn out for Sunday’s event.
“So far, we have at least 10 people who have volunteered to do the ice challenge,” Fiona said.
“This is our way of raising some important funds towards MND research and to help further promote the cause and the disease across the community.”
Along with the ice challenge there will also be a barbecue, raffles, beanie sales and other prizes.
“Coles, Gateway Newsagency, Prouds Jewellery, Blind Jimmy and Your Regional Butchers are just a few of the local businesses who have sponsored this event and we’re very grateful to them all.
“All the action can be enjoyed at the Aldi entrance to Gateway Plaza from 11am through until 2pm.”
Rural women paving the way
SOUTH West Victoria was well represented at the recent Victorian Rural Women’s Network Leadership and Mentoring Program.
Delivered through Leadership Victoria and supported by the Victorian Rural Women’s Network, the program was application based and open to women living and working in rural and regional communities across agriculture, agribusiness and regional industries.
Applicants were selected through a competitive process based on leadership potential, community impact and their commitment to strengthening regional Victoria.
“Of the 11 graduates from across Victoria, nearly half the cohort came from the south west; which is something we’re incredibly proud of,” Bushfield’s Farzana Firth said.
“What felt especially meaningful was how diverse our south west representation was – from all different industries and backgrounds connected to agriculture, business and regional communities.
“In many ways, it perfectly reflected the south west itself – diverse, hardworking, community-driven and fruitful.”
Over several months, the program involved immersive leadership workshops, mentoring, collaboration and adaptive leadership training designed to help regional women grow their confidence, networks and ability to create positive change within their communities and industries.
“At the graduation ceremony, Minister for Agriculture Michaela Settle spoke about the importance of creating a ripple effect within our communities through leadership, connection and regional women supporting one another,” Farzana said.
Free entry day and night for locals
LOCALS are being encouraged to rediscover one of Warrnambool’s most iconic attractions through the free Local Ambassador Program at Flagstaff Hill.
The popular program gives eligible residents free daytime entry to the historic maritime village, along with access to the spectacular ‘Tales of the Shipwreck Coast’ sound and light show on selected evenings.
Whether it’s strolling the cobblestoned
streets, exploring historic cottages and museum displays, watching the blacksmith at work, introducing visiting family and friends to “Flaggy”, or simply soaking up the atmosphere overlooking Lady Bay, the ambassador program is designed to help locals reconnect with a treasured part of Warrnambool’s history.
Families can also enjoy a range of exciting school holiday activities throughout the year, giving children the chance to step back in time through hands on fun and interactive experiences.
While many activities are included, some
specialty sessions may require a small participation fee.
This winter school holidays, children can create their own artwork using an authentic 1800s printing press, dress up as Warrnambool Garrison artillery soldiers, bake traditional scones and decorate plant pots and take home their own seedling.
They can also meet the famous Maremma Penguin Protectors, and experience what school life was like in the 1870s through old fashioned classroom activities, plus so much more.

Voluntary opportunities in abundance Volunteer Expo 2026
FORTY local clubs and groups had the opportunity to expand their volunteer numbers at last weekend’s South West Volunteer Expo.
The expo, which was held at the Emmanuel Centre in Warrnambool last Saturday, attracted a steady stream of visitors – all of which were eager to learn about how they could become involved in their local community and what was on offer for volunteers.
Attendees took advantage of the opportunity to speak with representatives and find a volunteering role that best suits them.
This year’s expo also featured a dedicated youth space with workshops and activities especially targeted at those between the ages of 12 and 25.
Lucky door prizes, a sausage sizzle and free entry was also enjoyed by the crowd.
The day featured a wide cross-section of groups and organisations, from Lions and SES through to the Warrnambool Community Garden, Mosswood Wildlife and the Warrnambool Theatre Company.

MORTLAKE
MONDAY, MAY 25, 2026
Hamilton agents yarded 6,300 lambs (900 fewer) and 4,800 sheep (additional 400) this week compared to last week’s offering.
At Mortlake agents yarded 1,840 head an increase of 40 compared to last week’s sale.
The quality across the trade offering was not as good as last week and the bullock and grown steer categories were more mixed.
The better end of the trade cattle had been supplementary fed while a tail of dairy and crossbred cattle was also present in the trade run.
The cow offering comprised approximately 29% beef cows with the balance being dairy bred.
Most of the regular buyers were in attendance although not all operated fully while strong restocker and feeder demand was evident.
The yarding consisted of 211 bullocks, 669 trade cattle, 920 cows and 40 grown bulls.
In an erratic sale and despite some drops in quality in places,
the market strengthened by 10 to 30c/kg for both trade cattle and bullocks.
Heavy beef cows improved by around 20c/kg while medium weight and dairy cows were generally 10c/kg to 20 c/kg dearer.
Bulls remained firm to slightly stronger for the better types.
Bullocks sold to a top of 500c/kg while grown steers reached 510c/kg and crossbred steers made to 470c/kg.
Grown heifers ranged from 450 to 484c/kg and dairy bred manufacturing steers sold to 430c/kg.
Better quality trade cattle ranged from 468 to 526c/kg with feeders paying up to 520c/kg.
Heavy beef cows made between 370 and 410c/kg, while medium weights sold from 320 to 355c/kg.
Better-covered dairy cows ranged from 330 to 368c/kg.
Grown beef bulls sold to 432c/kg with dairy bred bulls to 415c/kg and young bulls reached 440c/kg.

HAMILTON
WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2026
SALEYARD REPORT
Hamilton agents yarded 5,000 lambs (2,600 fewer) and 4,000 sheep (1,200 more) this week compared to last week’s offering.
Lambs at the top end were grain supplementary fed.
Quality was similar overall although there was less weight across the yarding and a smaller tail of lambs suitable for the paddock at the lower end.
Most of the regular buying group were present although not all were fully active in what was a slightly erratic market.
Buyers were very selective on quality resulting in a firm to dearer market.
This was most noticeable at the very heavy end over 30kgs which improved by up to $20/head. Very neat trade lambs were firm to $5 per head stronger.
Lambs suitable for feeding remained firm however, some lambs back to the paddock were softer by $10 to $20/head.
Lambs to the trade averaged between 1200 and 1300c/kg cwt topping at $380/head.
Suitable lambs to feed on or return to the paddock generally made between $174 and $272 equating to 1200 to 1300c/kg cwt.
Light lambs 12–16 kg sold from $174 to $220 while trade lambs weighing 18–22kg made $212 to $260/head.
Lambs in the 22–26kg range sold from $270 to $323 and heavier trade lambs made from $323 to a top of $380/head.
Hoggets reached $318/head.
Sheep sold to strong competition again particularly the medium to light categories which were $20/head stronger and more in places.
Heavier sheep remained firm.
Mutton averaged between 850 and 980c/kg cwt. Crossbred ewes sold to $315 and Merino wethers to $208 and Merino ewes with skin to $265/head.
Terminal rams reached $102 while Merino rams sold to $124/head.

Tighly contested results for round five
SOME tightly contested matches were recorded for round five of the Orford and District Table Tennis Association.
Tower Hill fielded their full side, with the return of David Rowbottom to their doubles line-up proved too strong for Attunga.
Joining Attunga as their third player was Pat Dwyer, who played the longest match of the night against Tower Hill’s Mary, winning in five games: 11-8, 10-12, 11-8, 14-12, 4-11.
Tower Hill’s best was Darren Smith, who won all three singles, while Gavin Rowbottom contributed two wins.
Final scores were Tower Hill defeated Attunga 6.205.16.
Glengleeson lost to Broadwater 4.12-7.25 Broadwater’s Peter Drendal continued his impressive form alongside Andrea, with both players winning all
three singles and their doubles match to secure success over Glengleeson.
The standout and closest match of the night saw Glengleeson’s Linton Price narrowly defeat Broadwater’s Leah Drendal in an entertaining five-game battle: 13-11, 5-11, 11-5, 9-11, 11-7.
St Helens defeated Orford 7.22-4.16
St Helens’ Ally Rowbottom opened the night with a tight five-game contest, narrowly defeating Orford’s Jaden Clapp 11-8, 10-12, 8-11, 12-10, 11-4.
Orford welcomed back familiar face Peter Anscombe for his first game of the season, and he showed he hasn’t lost his touch, contributing to the team’s score with a singles win.
St Helens’ strength in the doubles, combined with Aaron Rowbottom’s three singles, secured the overall win and moved them back into second place on the ladder. For Orford, Russell Hussey was their best
winning two.
Warrnambool Warriors defeated Koroit 7.24-4.17
Warrnambool Warriors maintained their game-ahead lead on the ladder with a comfortable win over Koroit. Koroit’s Fergus Monsborough was their standout performer, winning all three of his matches, while Warrnambool’s Peter Owen, Neil Ford and David Cranwell were all consistent contributors, each with two singles wins.
The longest match of the night came in the doubles, where Koroit prevailed in a five-game battle 12-10, 4-11, 11-7, 8-11, 6-11.
Week six will see Broadwater face Tower Hill, Glengleeson will play Orford, Attunga will meet Warrnambool Warriors and Koroit will take on St Helens.

Finals approach

Macey’s was the venue to be at last week, with Brendan Galloway, Ron Bourke and Sharon Bourke all throwing 21 dart games on the night.
Carol Handley has been playing darts for 51 years –playing with feather darts.
These darts are a nod to the origins of the game. Feather flights are still handcrafted and used by darts enthusiasts for a nostalgic feel.
The feathers create drag and stabilise the dart in the air, allowing for greater control.
Round 14 results:
Mad Macs def Panmure Bulldogs 8-7, Mixed Nuts def Fill Ins 9-6, Vikings def City Slicers 13-2 and Disorderly Darters had the bye.

Masters in the pool
DO you enjoy swimming, meeting new friends and would like a few handy tips on how to improve your stroke?
The Warrnambool Whalers Masters Swimming Club is hosting a ‘come and try’ day on Sunday, June 7 from 9am (and on the first Sunday of each month thereafter) at Warrnambool’s Aquazone.
Participants only need to pay their pool entry fee on the day and can then take advantage of the free hour of instruction with one of the group’s coaches.

Club are looking forward to welcoming new members during their ‘come and tr y’ sessions.
18 to join our Whalers group,” coach Colin McDonald said.
“We currently have swimmers in their 20s through to those in their late 70s; and at one stage we had a swimmer who was around 90 years old. The Whalers is for all adults no matter what their fitness and skill level.
“Our coaches provide instruction in technique, stroke correction, breathing and relaxation techniques and all in a safe and welcoming environment.”
And contrary to what some believe, you don’t need to be a strong swimmer to join the Whalers Masters – you only need enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
Pool lanes are divided according to ability, with beginners through to intermediate and advanced swimmers catered for.
“We currently have about 70 members, some have been coming for many years like myself while others have only recently joined,” Colin said.
“With the cooler winter weather fast approaching it’s an ideal time to get out and start swimming. Some of us even do regular open water swims out in the ocean and would welcome some new faces.”
The group currently holds sessions each Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday mornings, catering to the needs of workers,
mums and others with busy lifestyles.
Coaching is available most mornings, along with every Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm for those wanting to improve their technique.
“I’ve been coaching for many years now and get a lot of enjoyment from it,” Colin said.
“It’s wonderful to see people improving in the water and also enjoying the health benefits that brings.”
Anyone wishing to join a come and try session, or wanting more information on the Whalers, can contact Colin on 0420 921 675.
