Hundreds turn out for mural launch WALLS across the city’s CBD will soon be adorned with images that show respect and pay recognition to the local connection with Indigenous culture, and it seems the community is proud of it. More than 500 people turned out last week for the grand launch of the Aboriginal Street Art Project named ‘Dana Djirrungana Dunguludja Yenbena-l’ which means ‘Proud, Strong, Aboriginal People.’ The first of many planned murals is located on the wall of Goulburn Valley Water, which recognised Pastor Sir Douglas Nicholls and William Cooper.

Dairy farmers call for fairness Fonterra’s extra 40 cent payment flaws

By David Lee AFTER Fonterra’s decision to slash its forecast price from $5.60/kg milk solids (kg MS) to $5/kg MS in early May 2016, many

dairy farmers were given no choice but to switch processors or face a bleak future, and now they are being punished for doing so. While some are benefitting from Fonterra’s

latest ‘extra 40 cent payment scheme’ it is not being honoured for everyone who was supplying the processing company. Continued on page 21

When one door closes, another opens HAVING spent more than 30 years on the shores of Victoria Park Lake, the Coles Express Shell Service Station has closed its doors to make way for the new Shepparton Art Museum, but the old saying goes that when one door closes another opens, and that couldn’t be more accurate. Road users can still get the same great service from a new Coles Express that officially opened its doors at Riverside Plaza last week. Coles Express retail area manager, Joshua Poort, who opened the Coles supermarket in Riverside Plaza as store manager in 2009, said the Coles Express team was delighted to bring a new and improved offering to Shepparton. “We’re always looking at ways to deliver even greater convenience and support the everyday needs of shoppers and this new store offers a wider range and better value than ever,” Joshua said. “The site will feature four fuel pumps and customers will notice a wider variety of convenient food offers, and of course, shoppers will still be able to save money on fuel and convenience purchases by redeeming their Coles supermarket docket. “In addition to their standard pumps, the service station also offers two high-flow diesel pumps.”

By Nicholise Garner THE other day a young man in his late teens asked me what a CD was. “Do you mean one of those old style CDs that people used to play music on?” he asked. Now, I don’t think of myself as particularly old but that conversation was a little confronting! Then, this morning I heard my eight year old singing “I’ve got the moves like Jagger,” he thought the song was about a jaguar. I showed him some Rolling Stones videos on YouTube and introduced him to Mick Jagger. I told him that each one of us is born into the middle of a book and that to understand the story completely, we all have to learn about the start of the book from older people. Just like I showed him Mick Jagger on YouTube, this weekend while I visit Emerald Bank for the Farmer’s Market and The Village Market Shepparton, I’m going to be taking my children in to visit Barclay’s Antiques and Collectables. I cannot wait to

see the look on these kid’s faces when they realise there was a whole world of things before they arrived on this earth and that even Mickey Mouse existed before them! I visited Emerald Bank recently and talked to Barclay’s Antiques and Collectables business owners, June and Frank Barclay. They’ve brought up their children and now their grandchildren in the life span of this business and they have successfully passed on an appreciation of the past to their family. The store is like a museum that offers hidden treasures. It’s a pleasure to visit and June said they love being surrounded by the nostalgia. Personally, I’d strongly encourage families to make a day of it at Emerald Bank this weekend. The markets are fabulous and are open from 9am to 1pm on the first Sunday of every month. Barclay’s Antiques and Collectables is a heart warming place, a must see … and is open seven days a week from 10am to 4:30pm.

Students release fish MORE than 30 students from Verney Road School have helped to re-stock Victoria Park Lake with Murray Cod, releasing 40 of the native fish into the lake last week as part of a program to release more than 500 across the region. The project is a partnership between Goulburn Murray Water (GMW) and Fisheries Victoria, which aims to bring a smile to the faces of local anglers by re-stocking family friendly fishing spots including Victoria Park Lake as well as Numurkah Lake and Broken Creek at Nathalia. GMW managing director, Pat Lennon said, “It’s creating a win-win situation for ourselves, for Fisheries Victoria and the wider communit y by relocating iconic Murray Cod while we undertake important winter maintenance. “More than 30km of the East Goulburn Main Channel is scheduled for a major

aquatic weeding program by GMW over winter, to return it to peak flow efficiency and reliability.” Goulburn Valley Association of Angling Clubs president, Mike Edwards said, “This is a great initiative and it is fantastic to relocate Murray Cod which are actually quite a valuable fish. “What I really like about this is GMW and Fisheries Victoria are working with the angling community and together we got a really good result,” Mike said.

A collaborative affair

W E caught up with Turaton Music Company’s president, George Ferguson and asked about their co-operative approach to supporting the community. George said, “Turaton celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2014. We are a music company that performs as a choir and also has a rich history in performance and productions. Our choir has about thirty regulars who range in age from 18 to 80, and several of them have been involved with Turaton for many, many years. “For quite a while we have offered a choral concert as

a fundraiser for local community groups. Over the years we have helped raise funds for church groups, sporting clubs, service clubs, health causes and many more really worthwhile local groups.” Turaton musical director, Shirley Ferguson said, “The concerts are usually held around May, and this year will be held between May 20 and June 4. This year’s concert is called ‘Music Café – What’s on the menu?’ and

is a celebration of diverse music including medleys of Burt Bacharach and Gershwin. “One of the strengths of Turaton is that the choir members are a friendly and happy group who really enjoy giving a performance. We think the audience can tell we are having fun and that helps make the show even more enjoyable.” Already this year Turaton have performed ‘Music Café – What’s on the menu?’ in Rochester, Murchison, Dookie and Tatura with final shows this weekend in Shepparton, Saturday, June 3 at 7:30pm and Sunday, June 4 at 2pm.

Illegal car parking at the sports precinct to be fined GREATER Shepparton City Council is frustrated to see users of the Shepparton Sports Precinct parking illegally at the facilities, and recently, council announced it would be fining users who park outside of allocated parking bays in an effort to maintain the safety of all patrons. The east/west road way and associated car parking facilities at the southern area of the precinct are all now available. Greater Sheppar ton Cit y Cou ncil D i r e c t o r of I n f r a s t r u c t u r e , S t e ve Bowmaker said, “It’s disappointing that patrons are choosing to park illegally rather than use the available spaces along the east/west boulevard, Over 900 car spaces are available in the area, with all linking footpaths and pedestrian crossings in place. “There is no excuse for parking illegally. The parking areas have been designed and constructed with maximum safety of

all users in mind and feature connecting footpaths and pedestrian crossings. “With people parking illegally in roundabouts, emergency vehicle parking spaces, disabled car spaces and in no standing areas, there is a major safety risk for children and families walking on the roads instead of the footpaths. “Wanting to park in front of your destination should not take precedence over the lives and safety of children and pedestrians. You will now be fined up to $155 for parking illegally at the precinct,” Mr Bowmaker said. Shepparton Junior Soccer Association president, Peter Hill wants to ensure the safety of members in the area, and hopes all users will be more cautious on the road. “We have had patrons stuck for hours unable to get out of their car park because someone has thoughtlessly blocked their car in,” Mr Hill said.

Letters to the Editor SHEPPARTON’S PARKING NIGHTMARE

Dear Editor, It is becoming increasingly obvious that parking in Shepparton is becoming a nightmare. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind having to walk a little to get to where I need and so am not fussed about parking 15 minutes away from my destination, but I have a couple of qualms surrounding council’s readiness to address the growing issue in Shepparton. Firstly, af ter taking parking from Welsford Street, the car park behind the library/council offices and all the way around Quinan Parade there are no parks in the morning…people are even resorting to parking on the grassed area near Princess Park. I find it funny that a great deal of those parks are taken up by council workers.

On the subject of parking, something needs to be done with parking in the CBD….there are two points I wish to make. Firstly, free, timed parking should be introduced. This would help to breathe life back into the dying CBD. Secondly, council really needs to look at introducing more parking spaces right across the CBD. It is clear that Shepparton is growing, and the population is growing….council are also working hard to draw more people here from outside of town, such as from Melbourne…this will further increase the population. I put a question to council…do you have a stable parking plan going into the future? If so, perhaps you should look at implementing some of these measures now, because while I am happy to walk 15 minutes to get to my destination, if I was

FLYING FLAGS CONFUSES IDENTITY Dear Editor, Recently, in another newspaper, there were two articles about flying the rainbow flag at public offices. One at the Shepparton council’s office and one at the Violet Town Police Station. Is doing this the next thing to get recognition of a particular point of view? If so, the local football, basketball, Lion’s, Rotary, automobile clubs, refugee’s country f lags (we are multicultural), churches, etc would expect to be able to fly

their flags on various public buildings and private buildings too. If this ridiculous idea were to happen, it would be difficult to be sure of the identity of places flying so many flags. Let’s just keep our national flag flying which embraces all of our community - which does include all minorities. If people want to fly a flag advertising their particular interest or belief there is nothing stopping them from flying it on their own property, some already do.

In the first four months of 2017, Greater Shepparton composted 2,510 tonnes of food and garden waste, which is the equivalent weight of 2,897 cows. Council’s manager works and waste, Heinz Kausche said, “It is extremely important and beneficial to compost food and garden waste as local farmers and backyard gardeners use the organic waste by returning it back to earth, improving the health of our soils and making our

Regional Coaching Strategy released H THE AFL Goulburn Murray Commission has released the region’s first coaching strategy to drive coach education and support services over the next three years. The strategy, developed over a six month period involving workshops and consultation with the Goulburn Murray Coaches Association, all leagues and AFL Victoria, will strive to achieve its mission statement ‘to promote, educate and recognise coaches in supporting players to reach their potential at all stages of their development.’ The strategy is an important piece of work according to AFL Goulburn Murray football development manager, Greg Liddell. “The region currently has a reputation for the delivery of

high quality Level 1 Coaching Courses, coaching seminars and the prestigious Coach of the Year awards,” Mr Liddell said. “However, we are now very keen to build on that solid foundation and add further services and programs with the focus on up-skilling volunteer coaches and in recognising the crucial role that coaches play in the delivery of our game. “The development of this strategic framework has been a very fruitful process and this will now guide our efforts over the next three years.” Goulburn Murray Coaches Association (GMCA) president, Greg Shannon views the strategy as a key

resource for the Coaches Association, staff and coaches at all levels. “The GMCA strongly endorse this strategy and the direction it will take us,” Mr Shannon said. “Our programs have been evolving over the past three to four years and we want to make sure the GMCA represents its members and the best interests of coaches. “We have already seen success with the Strategy as AFL Victoria’s first Level 2 Coaching Course to be held in regional Victoria was delivered in Shepparton in February with 16 Goulburn Murray coaches part of the 39 member cohort.”

Better end-of-life care in Shepparton H PEOPLE at the end of their lives in Shepparton will soon have better access to high quality and compassionate palliative care, closer to home. Goulburn Valley Hospice Care Services is set to receive $91,000 as part of the Andrews Labor Government’s $5M equipment fund for palliative care, giving services the tools they need to support people and carers to provide care at home.

This will provide a transport van, new electric beds, and iPads and software to ensure patients can receive safe, comfortable care and staff can stay up to date while caring for patients in their homes. This funding and additional support will ensure more Victorians with terminal illnesses can spend their last days at home with their family, friends and loved ones. Minister for Health, Jill Hennessy said, “We are

supporting more people in regional Victoria with a terminal illness to be cared for, and die, in their place of choice.” Member for Northern Victoria, Jaclyn Symes said, “Every Victorian should be able to access compassionate end-of-life care. The new equipment and transport van will make a real difference for seriously ill patients and their families in Shepparton by improving access to the community palliative care they need.”

Lovell to contest seat in 2018 election MEMBER for Northern Victoria, Wendy Lovell has announced that she will contest the upper house seat of the Northern Victorian region at the 2018 election, after being officially preselected by the Liberal Party. Wendy said, “I received the official letter from the Liberal Party endorsing my candidacy for the number one position on the Coalition ticket. “I have been a member of state parliament for 15 years, since being first elected to the upper house seat of North Eastern Province in 2002, which became part of the Northern Victoria Region following the reform of the upper house in 2006. “I have represented the Northern Victoria Region since its inception in 2006, and am excited to have once again been given the opportunity to be elected to continue working

to deliver assistance to the approximately 500,000 constituents in the region. “I am thankful to the local community for their ongoing support and I am encouraged by the genuine desire of my Liberal colleagues to make Victoria a better state. “I am proud that my party has recognised that I will continue advocating for better health, education, transport, employment and economic outcomes – amongst other things – for the region, and that I will continue to make sure regional Victoria’s needs are front and centre in the parliament, regardless of which party is elected to government in 2018. “ I lo ok fo r wa rd to h av i n g t h e opportunity to continue my hard work for Northern Victoria and the wider Victorian community.”

Standing by the community JUST as Mooroopna is hitting its straps with a variety of boutique new businesses helping to create a really unique village feel, ANZ bank has announced they will be closing their Mooroopna branch. This kind of news is alarming. It rocks local confidence and sends a very negative message out to small businesses in the area. I met with GMCU Mooroopna branch manager, Sharna Papoulis to discuss her thoughts. Throughout the period I visited her, customers streamed in and out of the branch, joking playfully with the team there. The connections made between so many of the staff and clients are beautifully familiar and very warm, in an old fashioned kind of way.

The team here at GMCU really want to assure our customers that we are committed to the community of Mooroopna and we’re here to stay. The truth is, as a member owned banking facility, we’re not focused on profits, we’re focused on people and in turn, that works for everyone.” If you are an A NZ customer who is worried about local ba n k i ng i n Mooroopna, drop in and talk to the friendly staff at GMCU in McLennan Street, Mooroopna or phone ‪5825 1999 to talk to the team about your banking needs.‬‬

Local businesses generally give back to the community in a very direct way and local business owners have a greater personal interest in the service, success and connections that come from their business. WB Hunter is a locally owned business and has worked hard to achieve their excellent reputation. Manager, Peter Lloyd said, “What differentiates us from our competitors is that we are locally owned, we have a rural section selling pet and livestock products like animal drenches, and we also deal with trade products including steel, welding gases and consumables. “From pets to farm, to trades, we’ve got it covered. “We’re also very proud to be the largest stockists of Makita for the Goulburn Valley. Our staff have been trained by

A ROARING ENGINE… Local Shepparton resident, Bobby O’Connor’s with his 2007 Holden VE SS. Photo: David Lee.

By David Lee SHE may be named after the 1983 horror film, Christine, but Shepparton resident, Bobby O’Connor’s 2007 Holden VE SS is anything but a horror. The roar of the engine when it starts matches the car’s personality, but it certainly isn’t stock standard anymore. Christine has a full exhaust, 2.5” extractors, stainless steel muff lers, OTR, lumpy camshaft and four grand high stall and has been a feature in five weddings, the 2013 Skids for Kids event and several car meets around town.

Bobby said, “I named her after the movie, which is where an unpopular nerd named Arnie Cunningham buys a 1958 Plymouth Fury, which he names Christine. Arnie develops an unhealthy obsession with the car and that’s where the horror begins. “This dude stuck with his car. You can break up with a woman, but you can’t break a man and his car up.”

IF YOU are a denture wearer, you will know only too well how frustrating they are. Dentures must be removed and cleaned regularly to avoid infections, gum disease and bad breath. Old or improperly fitted dentures may be uncomfortable and move around in the mouth, causing pain and chewing difficulties. The good news for people who have lost or are losing their teeth is that Malo Clinic’s All-on-4 procedure is available to you. The Malo Clinic’s All-on-4 system is a simplified solution for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth. The full-arch rehabilitation sees non-removable teeth fixed permanently to four titanium implants in each jaw, providing aesthetic and functional teeth in just one to two days. It is a quick and minimally-invasive procedure and a reliable solution. The procedure was invented by Dr Paulo Malo of the Malo Clinic and the Malo

Clinic’s clinical director here in Australia is Dr Larry Benge from the Bond Street Dental Malo Clinic. Having performed thousands of All-on-4 procedures (more than any other dentist in Australia), Dr Benge said, “Almost always we are able to perform implant placement comfortably, utilising local anaesthesia alone or with general sedation.” And as to the results, Dr Benge said, “When you leave our clinic, you will have a complete set of nonremovable, natural looking replacement teeth. You will never have to take your dentures out again.” Dr Larry Benge invites you to find out more at an information evening, 6:30pm Tuesday, June 6, at Quest Appartments in Welsford Street.

Dairy farmers call for fairness continued from front page WHILE retired farmers, and to come extent farmers who are currently supplying Fonterra, are going to see payments of an additional 40 cents, those who were forced to stop supplying the company due to financial reasons will not see any additional payments for milk supplied during the 2015/16 period. On May 10, Fonterra released information stating that it would make payments available to all current and recommencing Fonterra suppliers, and will be paid monthly on top of next season’s milk price. Fonterra suppliers who have supplied Fonterra continuously since April 30, 2016 have the option to receive the payment as an advance by July 31, 2017. Retired Fonterra suppliers who left the dairy industry between April 30, 2016 and May 10, 2017, and did not supply any other company in that period, will also receive the payment as a lump sum payment by July 31, 2017. Local dairy farmers, Tim and Bridget Goulding and Phillip and Kylie Smith are calling on Fonterra to be more ethical in their operation and for fairness to be given to all farmers who supply or have supplied the company. Tim, Bridget, Phillip and Kylie said, “While Fonterra has announced that it will pay an extra 40 cents/kg of milk solids produced in 2015/16 season to suppliers that have retired from dairying, all existing suppliers can either take the 40 cents as an advance based on 2016/17 season with an adjustment made on actual production at the end of 2017/18 season or be paid monthly on the new season’s production. “This means that all farmers are still tied to the company for at least another year. “This money can be deducted from the Fonterra Australia supplier loans or other finance obtained by farmers but it does not directly reimburse the 60 cent drop from the $5.60/kg MS 2016 forecast closing price. “I f t he compa ny is pay i ng ret i red farmers on 2015/16 production, then it is acknowledging that the amount is a partial repayment of the 60 cents clawed back in May 2016. “This is not the case for existing suppliers who will not receive an amount based on 2015/16 production but are still tied to the company whether they take the 40 cents as an

advance or monthly in the new season. “Worse than that fact, is the one that all new suppliers taken on to top up milk flows into the new cheese plant in Stanhope will also get the 40 cents above the base price so the existing suppliers do not get a single cent more than someone who could be changing from one of the other companies that completed their end of season commitments in 2016. “We have no problem with the retired suppliers getting their rightful money. We just think that if the company is doing that, it should apply it to all suppliers including ones that were forced to change companies due to financial pressure after the clawback. “The announcement from Fonterra was tagged as ‘good news’ in the media statement but the reality is the closing price range of $5.30 to $5.70 plus the 40 cents is available to all new suppliers so is just the main closing price forecast and the supplier loans whether from Fonterra or farmers own financiers still remain unaddressed. “There was much talk at the meeting by Fonterra Australia managing director, René Dedoncker about how complicated the issue was to address because only 40 percent of suppliers took the Fonterra Australia Supplier Loans and the other suppliers made other arrangements. “The answer is simple; just do what they have done for retired suppliers and pay an amount to farmers supplying Fonterra on May 1, 2016 based on their 2015/16 production.

“Dairy prices will always be a roller coaster ride but the reason why farmers are so incensed is that the season was 55 days away from finishing when the clawback was made which put all the risks/costs on the dairy farmers while the money clawed back contributed to Fonterra’s $840M profit in New Zealand. “Fonterra has an arrangement with Bonlac Supply Company, which includes all of their Australian suppliers, to pay not less than Murray Goulburn’s closing price. However, Murray Goulburn had major management and director problems and Fonterra did not have to take the low road and clawback so late in the season. “There have been some very sad stories with younger suppliers who were not in the financial position to weather the clawback and even the ones that have survived have had a year that has been very hard on families. “The Bonlac Supply Company board said they were happy with the proposed way forward after farmer consultation, but we have yet to speak to any farmers that were consulted. Something of this magnitude should have involved supplier meetings with the board. “The sad part is that if Fonterra hadn’t been opportunistic and had done the right thing a year ago, with paying out the last 55 days of the season, they would have been heroes in the industry and obtained all the new supply they needed without the public relations disaster

this has turned into.” United Dairyfarmers of Victoria president, Adam Jenkins said Fonterra’s refusal to compensate farmers who switched processors for financial reasons would make the dairy industry more inequitable. “Farmers who were financially forced to leave their processors should not be forced to continue to bear the cost of processor actions and serious questions must be answered about the fairness and equity of the treatment of those who have left through no fault of their own,” Mr Jenkins said. “They should be paid a fair price for the milk they delivered last year and all farmers who supplied should be paid no matter who they now supply.” Fonterra Australia general manager milk supply, Matt Watt said, “We’ve contacted each of the farmers that supplied us on April 30 last year that were affected by our price revision, inviting them to recommence supply with us, subject to meeting our standard terms and conditions of supply. “Some have indicated that they will re-join us, and we welcome them back. There have been some farmers that have chosen to stay with their current processor, and we wish them well. “Whilst we know there are a small minority of unhappy farmers, we have spoken with the majority and they are satisfied with our announcement and want to draw a line and move forward.”

Top tips for cosy outdoor entertaining this winter WITH some smart outdoor heating and clever backyard styling, you can enjoy fantastic outdoor entertaining in comfort and style all year round. Here, are some top tips for cosy outdoor entertaining this winter.

WARM, WINTER NIGHTS… With winter upon us, now is the time to get your entertainment area ready to spend cosy nights entertaining outdoors. Photo: Supplied.

GO NAKED Without a doubt, there’s nothing that warms your hands or your heart more on a winter’s day, than the inviting glow of a dancing naked flame. A real fire creates an eye-catching centrepiece for any outdoor space and provides a focal point around which to gather with family and friends when entertaining outdoors. A modern fire pit is a great outdoor heating solution, providing warmth combined with ambient style. FIRE STYLE When it comes to choosing a fire pit, consider the amount of space you have available. If you have a generous backyard and you are a regular outdoor entertainer, then opt for a good sized fire pit with a generously sized fire bowl. This will provide a bigger heat output over a wider distance and a longer burning time without the need to keep re-fuelling. If however, you have a small backyard, then it pays to go up in height, so opt for a vertical or cylindrical design style that will heat your area without taking up precious floor space.

COMFORT ZONE Unlike in summer where the barbeque can often take centre stage, in winter, it’s time for your fire pit to shine. The right design can be a beautiful focal point if your outdoor space is lacking that something special. When entertaining, arrange seating around the fire pit so everyone enjoys the warmth and entrancing flicker of the flames RUG UP Create a warm welcome for guests by providing blankets and throws for them to snuggle up under. Choose rich colours - think shades of orange, burnt amber and flames of red. Add coordinated cushions in sumptuous textures and lu xurious weaves to complete your comfort zone.

LIGHT THE WAY Set the mood for your winter soirée with pretty table lights, stylish hanging lamps and scented outdoor candles. Weave a string of paper lanterns through a tree or around a post or pillar to create a magical outdoor setting that will enchant your family and friends to create happy memories for many years to come.

Tackle your own DIY project DO YOU have a DIY project that you have been wanting to tackle?

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: INCREDIBLE LANDSCAPE… In Adelaide, they took a tour to Mt Lofty where the views are spectacular. EATING OUTDOORS… Trestles were set up at Cook where passengers enjoyed breakfast under clear blue skies. NULLARBOR SOLITUDE… Cook has a population of just four but they refuel the train on its journey. ENTERTAINMENT DRAG STYLE… At Broken Hill they were entertained at a Drag Night honouring Pricilla, Queen of the Desert.

IT had been on the bucket list of things to do for some years, to travel across Australia by train, so finally Elizabeth Adams of Numurkah decided to make the dream a reality. The train was The Indian Pacific. The journey would start in Perth and travel across the Nullarbor, before finally arriving in Sydney. Elizabeth was joined by her cousin, Beryl Auld from Sydney for the trip. They booked Gold Class, which gives you a private cabin with ensuite facilities. The train offers five star service in its dining cars and great views as you cross Australia coast to coast. Elizabeth says the Nullarbor is an exciting experience and with its wide open spaces, it makes you appreciate just what a big country this is. The bright, blue skies and vast expanse of desert covered in spinifex and the occasional stunted tree has a stark stillness to it that draws you in. The Indian Pacific has been plying this route for over 50 years. Starting back in 1917, the rail tracks were laid but there were three separate gauges. The one standard gauge was completed in 1969 and in 1970 the first The Indian Pacific train left Sydney Central Station for Perth. The train’s name is made up from the journey from the Indian Ocean at Perth to the Pacific Ocean Sydney. The Wedge Tail Eagle, which has a huge two metre wing span, makes up the trains emblem symbolising the wings spanning the continent. The journey is three nights, four days or 65 hours to cover a distance of 4,352km one way. There are many stops along the way including Kalgoorlie, Cook, Tarcoola, Broken Hill and Port Augusta, and more. At Page 24 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1356 Wednesday, May 31, 2017

Kalgoorlie, Elizabeth and Beryl enjoyed a night tour of the town and mine under night lights. At Cook, it was a chance to enjoy the solitude of the Nullarbor. Staff from the train set up trestle tables so passengers could enjoy breakfast under the clear and cloudless, blue skies, where the average temperature was 28 degrees. Cook is an interesting town. It’s a stop to refuel the train but the town only has a population of four. At Rawlinna the stop is on a million hectare sheep station and the red soil and deep, blue skies capture your imagination. Elizabeth says the food on the train is excellent. Evening meals gave you a choice of three items for entrée, main and sweets. At Broken Hill they were taken to the Palace Hotel and entertained by Drag Queens. It seems that Pricilla Queen of the Desert lives on, and it was a fun night. As they entered NSW, they travel across the rolling plains of Goulburn through the Blue Mountains and finally to their destination in Sydney. Both Elizabeth and Beryl could have done it all over again. It was tempting just to turn around a retrace their journey back to Perth. This is not the first train journey Elizabeth has done. Some years back she and husband, Jock did The Ghan and it was equally exciting. Elizabeth would like to thank Ashleigh at Helloworld Travel in Shepparton for arranging everything and would fully recommend train travel as an exciting way to see Australia. Until next time, Safe Travel’n, Geoff Vallance.

Harry Kewell to hold junior masterclass GV SUNS players will have the chance to learn skills from one of Australia’s greatest ever football players, Harry Kewell on Sunday, June 4 for an exclusive junior masterclass and will be a special guest at the GV Suns’ Gala Dinner. GV Suns president, Mick Crisera said the club was thrilled to host Harry for two events. “When his appointment (as senior head coach of English League Two side Crawley Town) was announced we assumed Harry would have to cancel his remaining Australian commitments. Instead we are thrilled to confirm Harry has revised his schedule to ensure he makes it to the Goulburn Valley for our two events,” Mr Crisera said. “It’s fantastic to have someone of Harry’s calibre visit Shepparton to share his sporting brilliance with our younger players and stories of his incredible football career with guests at our Gala Dinner. “It will be an amazing weekend for football in the Goulburn Valley, with the added bonus that the proceeds from both

events will support the development of our junior soccer programs in the region,” Mr Crisera said. Mr Crisera said the GV Suns welcomed anyone interested in the events to contact the club for more information and to book their ticket. “You don’t have to love football to appreciate Harry’s talent and achievements,” Mr Crisera said. “The masterclass is open to players across the Goulburn Valley but numbers are limited to 30 participants, so if you are interested please register now.” The GV Suns Gala Dinner is from 6:30pm on June 4 at Quality Hotel Parklake in Shepparton. The event includes an online silent auction for a seat at Harry’s table. For more information about the events, silent auction and to book your seat or register your place, contact Jacqui on 0407 400 800, Maria on 0419 317 704 or email jacstoj@bigpond.net.au

STAR-STRUCK STUDENTS… Melbourne Vixen player, Emily Mannix visited St Mel’s Primary School last week to take students through drills and teach them ball and defensive skills. Photo: Supplied.

St Mel’s gets visit from Vixen THIRTY-FIVE netballers from St Mel’s Primary School were a little star-struck last week, after a visit from Melbourne Vixens champion, Emily Mannix. Emily visited the school last week, holding a clinic for the young netballers aged between eight and 12. St Mel’s Primary School netball club committee member, Erin McCarroll said,

“Emily showed them drills, ball skills and some defensive drills for an hour and a half. “Emily was then kind enough to answer questions from the girls and then personally sign a Melbourne Vixens poster for each girl. Emily also signed a netball that we will give away to a lucky player at our end-of-season function.”

Inviting all women to get involved in squash By David Lee THE ROLE of women in sport is becoming increasingly popular, and the local GV Squash Club is looking to see more women come on board. GV Squash Club committee member, Belinda Monichino said, “It is important that women are out there having a go at a sport. The camaraderie is fantastic and it’s good for health, wellbeing and for the social aspect, especially with a supportive club like Page 28 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1356 Wednesday, May 31, 2017

the GV Squash Club. “Squash isn’t a male domineering sport, and we embrace everybody. “We currently have approximately 30 women in various roles at the club and they all add a bit of culture. “A sport like squash provides women with an opportunity to have another outlet to get out and about, and be involved in something local.”

A MATCH TO WATCH… Will the Euroa Magpies fly out victorious against the Seymour Lions during this weekend’s match between the two arch rivals? Photos: Bailey Opie Photography.

No love lost here A GAME between arch rivals this week takes on more meaning as this match up will shape both clubs seasons. Euroa fourth and Seymour fifth and both on five wins for this season will add to the contest as the winner will elevate itself into the top bracket. The Lions will look to bounce back after a disappointing performance at home last week against the reigning premier in Kyabram. Saad Saad was goalless last week and this just does not happen but loves these games against Euroa and along with the usuals in coach, Brent Colbert and superstar, Jason Cole, they will bounce

back hard. T he Magpies look like a genuine challenger this year lead by Nathan Gilliland who sets the standard on and off the playing arena. Rohan Bail has been a star this season and does not waste a disposal with James Hayes, Marcus Varley and Adam Tarrant in great form. Euroa’s only blemish this year was against Shepparton and that game could have gone either way. This one shapes as a classic that may go either way also. Magpies have wings to fly and Lions have teeth to bite, so which one wins? The Magpies will fly at home for mine.
