MURRAY 2018 BUDGET UPDATE

Delivering a stronger economy. More jobs. Guaranteeing essential services. Ensuring Government lives within its means.

D E LI V E R IN G FO R

R E G IO N A L AU ST RA L IA

Damian Drum is Delivering for Our Community The Federal Budget was handed down recently and it was certainly good news for Australia and good news for the seat of Murray.

Locally, we were also able to announce the first stage of our decentralisation rollout. Shepparton will receive seven positions from the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet’s Indigenous Affairs Group Regional Network Melbourne office.

When the Rudd Labor Government came to office in 2007, Australia as a nation was spending way more than it had been receiving through taxes. This over spending has been to the tune of about $100 million per day.

We were also delighted to announce that Shepparton will be the home of a new medical school, paving the way for students from the Goulburn Valley and beyond to have an “end-to-end” medical school in Regional Victoria for the first time. This will be a collaboration between La Trobe University and Melbourne University. Into the future, students will be able to study to become doctors without having to spend years living in Melbourne.

The Coalition Government, since elected, has implemented a plan to bring this spending under control and we were able to announce that next year’s Budget will see Australia make a small surplus or profit. Over the next ten years we will set about paying our debt off, so that we are well placed if we ever face an economic downturn in the future. Whilst we have been careful with “your money” we have also introduced record education funding, with a true Gonski approach for “needs based funding”, record funding for health with an extra $1.5 billion available for new medicines to be put on the Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme, as well as fully funding the rollout of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, a scheme to look after those in our community with a disability, to provide the services they need to live their lives.

This is a huge win for Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley and will undoubtedly lead to more doctors living and working in our great region. The 2018-19 Federal Budget delivered by the Coalition Government is continuing to provide record funding in health, education and infrastructure that will benefit everyone in the Murray community.

Theft of lambs in Shepparton JUST after 1am on Friday, May 18, a tray truck with a homemade stock crate arrived at the Shepparton Saleyards, where 29 lambs and a ewe were loaded into the tray and stolen from the property. The Isuzu single rear axle tray or similar, with a non-functioning passenger side headlight left the New Dookie Road property just after 2am, and investigators have released images of the truck in hope that the community may have seen something or know the whereabouts of the truck. A Greater Shepparton City Council spokesperson said, “Greater Shepparton City Council is asking anyone with information about this incident to please contact police.”

Municipality becoming a little greener GREATER Shepparton is becoming a little greener, with Greater Shepparton City Council planting approximately 1,000 street trees in nature strips around the municipality in the coming weeks. The planting is part of the Greater Shepparton City Council’s annual street tree renewal program and Urban Forest Strategy, where each year, between May and September advanced street trees are planted in various locations throughout Greater Shepparton. The Urban Forest Strategy aims to increase green canopy cover to 40 percent in the next 10 to 15 years in Shepparton, Mooroopna and Tatura.

TREES LINING THE REGION… Leah Beks from Andrew Beks Sprinklers & Landscaping planting a eucalyptus tree, which is one of 1,000 trees being planted across the region in coming weeks. Photo: Alicia Niglia

Greater Shepparton City Council Manager Parks, Sport and Recreation, Heath Chasemore said trees provide significant economic, social, environmental, ecological and aesthetic benefits to our communities and assist in the creation of neighbourhood character and identity of our urban streets. “A well treed streetscape is visually appealing and importantly reduces the impact of radiant heat. Having cooler shadier streets in summer encourages people to get out and about more, which is good for your physical and mental health,” Heath said. “Tree planting is conducted during the cooler months of the year and the trees we

choose are advanced street trees specially grown and selected to suit our local climate. Some are chosen specifically for planting under power lines so they do not cause maintenance issues when they are full grown.”

New dump point for caravans, motorhomes and RVs GR EAT ER Shepparton City Council has recently completed the installation of a new recreational vehicle dump point at Shepparton Showgrounds on Fryers Street for caravan and motorhome users. Visitors travelling in fully self-sufficient caravans, motorhomes and RVs now have access to the new free public dump point at the new location. Greater Sheppar ton Cit y Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said, “We have been working with the local caravan and motorhome communities and understood the need to have a public accessible dump point. “The new dump point allows easy access for travellers visiting Greater Shepparton. We have had one in Tatura for a number of years, having one now in Shepparton is great for visitors to our region. “The location allows for easy access to larger vehicles up to 19.5 metres in length, to pull up at the showgrounds and dispose of their black and grey waste,” Cr O’Keeffe said. The access road to the dump point maybe inaccessible during major events.

New GV Health taking shape WORKS UNDERWAY… GV Health executive director infrastructure, Sandy Chamberlin is pleased to see the $169M GV Health redevelopment works are underway, and while there are some interruptions to car parking spaces, things are progressing well. Photo: Alicia Niglia.

By David Lee WITH the $169M redevelopment of stage one of GV Health now underway, there are a few things that the community needs to be aware of while works are being carried out. What most people will have noticed, are the works being undertaken on the Emergency Department (ED) car park area, which are early works to prepare for the redevelopment of the department. To help improve the flow through the ED, the works will see it double in size and include a fully digital medical imaging department including CT, US, and an additional digital X-ray room. The works are expected to be carried out over the next two and a half years, with interruption to car parking spaces out the front of the department expanding and contracting over that time. However, when this stage is completed, there will be an additional 30 car parking spaces on site. Starting in the next month will be a new single storey building where the western car park currently is, which will be home to the renal dialysis service with training rooms, which will grow the service from its current seven bays to 16 and is expected to take 12 months to build. What most may not have noticed is the early works and construction of the plant room out the back of the hospital, which will also be home to the five storey tower. This section will remain a construction site for the next two and a half years. Once completed in December 2020, the new GV Health will also include a dedicated ICU with appropriate equipment, double the number of theatres, double the recovery bays and double the size of CSSD with all new sterilising equipment. It will also see a new special care nursery created that will

Page 4 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1407 Wednesday, May 30, 2018

be five times larger than the existing with dedicated family space. A new paediatrics ward will also be located within the same building as a refurbished maternity and the nursery. Two new 32 bed inpatient units with 34 additional and 30 replaced beds will also be installed as well as a new kitchen, with all new equipment, a new morgue with a garden and additional plant and engineering infrastructure to support the new building. GV Health executive director infrastructure, Sandy Chamberlin said, “During the build, there will be no loss to services, in fact as we complete each section, services will increase. Patients will notice extra activity in the hospital, some noise and difficulty in car parking over the next two and a half years, but it will be all worth it when we deliver the upgraded facility and service. “We are busily working on models of care on how we can provide the upgraded services in the new hospital. We will be more innovative and this will mean we will need to hire more staff. “We are also going through the master planning for the next stages of the redevelopment, which we are hoping will include a multi-deck car park. We are still continuing our push for additional government funding to help continue the process and bring a completely brand new hospital to the community. “We would also like to remind the community that while the works are being carried out on the ED, the old five minute drop off point to the right of the ED has is temporarily the new Ambulance bay, but we have created a few five minute drop off points to the left of the ED for patients to utilise.”

Letters to the Editor THE ONGOING SAGA OF THE MDBP

Dear Editor, Several weeks ago a successful meeting was held in Moama to yet again highlight the impacts of the Murray Darling Basin Plan (MDBP) on the community and the environment. Yet again a number of speakers highlighted not only the impacts but also the flaws since conception of the MDBP. There were also a number of solutions put forward. It was not the first time that solutions have been put forward. We have seen a Senate Inquiry into the MDBP where numerous submissions have highlighted the impacts as well as solutions to the problems caused. Government is now well aware and has no excuses for inaction. In recent months there was some threat to the continuation of the MDBP due to the Disallowance motion put forward by the Greens in parliament. Instead of using this as an opportunity to act upon the disastrous MDBP the government instead chose to fight to continue with the existing plan despite their knowledge of its disastrous outcomes. A lt houg h t he Federa l M i n ister for Agriculture for Agriculture and Water did not accept the invitation to attend the most recent public meeting in Moama, to their credit the Federal Member for Murray, Damian Drum and the State Member for Murray, Plains Peter Walsh did attend the most recent meeting. The big question is what action will they take to act upon the facts put before them that not only highlight the issues but also gave solutions to reverse

the devastation caused to the region estimated to be costing at least $500M dollars each year. There is simply no excuse to not implement measures to remedy the impacts of the MDBP and recognise that it was based on flawed science since its inception and is not sustainable. To not act is pure negligence. Yours sincerely, Nigel Hicks Wyuna

CLUB LOCK OUT Dear Editor, The GV Suns have been threatened by council that they will be locked out of the Shepparton Sports Precinct main pavilion and main pitch from June 30, 2018. The council has issued notice to the club that if it cannot come up with a $12,500 contribution for capital works at the precinct it will be banned from using some of the facilities at the complex. Even if the club can meet this deadline, council is demanding another instalment of $12,500 by December 31, 2018. A proposal for the club to pay $5,000 per year over the next five years has been completely dismissed by council. If the GV Suns cannot come up with the cash and the club is locked out, the future for an ongoing NPLV club based out of Shepparton is grim. The club has only been in existence for less than five years and simply has not had the time and opportunity to build up cash reserves that would allow it to meet the unreasonable demands of council. The

We welcome letters to the Editor but they are not guaranteed to be included and may be edited for reasons of style or content. Letters will not be eligible for consideration if they contain defamatory material, or information of a personal nature which is not in the public domain. club has only just this year had access to the new pavilion and facilities and will help the club be financially sustainable over coming years. If the club is kicked out for not paying council, yet another source of revenue will dry up. The club has just over 100 players (the majority juniors) and to meet the demands of council for a $25,000 “contribution” it will pay the equivalent of over $250 per player to council. In contrast, the Shepparton Junior Soccer Association (SJSA), with 1,200 plus players and in existence for decades, has paid its $25,000 “contribution” to the council based on the equivalent of of just under $21 per player. How could a councillor or any fair-minded council officer think that a junior player from one soccer club should pay more to access a community facility than a player from another club or association? The SJSA will have 10 times the demand for facilities than the GV Suns and the majority of the soccer facilities at the precinct have been developed to accommodate the needs of the SJSA. A small part of the soccer facilities will be required by the GV Suns. Why then are the charged the same contribution amount of $25,000? SJSA run a very good show and in terms of fair contribution, $21 per player could be considered reasonable for the facilities they need. Applying the same rate to the GV Suns for a much smaller demand would see a total, fair and equitable “contribution” of just $2,100. If the rate was reversed and the SJSA paid the same rate as GV Suns

players for each of their 1,200 players, their contribution would be around $300,000. Outrageous if ever applied and clear evidence that a policy that has a $250 per player contribution as applied to the GV Suns is flawed and penalises unfairly one group against others. Ironically, it was the council itself that submitted and gained a licence for the GV Suns to participate in the National Premier League Victoria in 2014 and now it looks like it will be council that shuts the club down. Yours sincerely, BD Gosstray Kialla

GREAT WORK GV HEALTH Dear Editor, R EC E N T LY I under went a medical procedure at GV Health’s day surgery or elective admissions unit. From pre-admission to phone inquiries and right through to the time I was discharged, the nurses and doctors seemed to go out of their way to ensure I was comfortable and well cared for. For what was essentially an unpleasant procedure, I left feeling well looked after and witnessed the same level of care given to each of my fellow patients. Thumbs up to the staff at GV Health’s elective admissions/day surgery unit. Big thanks for your care and attention. Yours sincerely, Nicholise Garner Shepparton More letters continued on page 10.

Dear Editor, Dear fellow residents. There have been some misperceptions and concerns raised about ‘The Cottage’ residential housing in St. Andrew’s Road, Shepparton that I would like to address. The Cottage is not a drug and alcohol rehab. It is a safe secure alcohol and drug free residence for people wanting to learn to live an empowered life.   SHADAC Inc, that operates as ‘The Cottage,’ is a not-for-profit incorporated association registered by The Australian Charities and Notfor-Profit Commission (ACNC). It is a sustainable charity without government funding.   The Cottage residences operate as a microcosm of a well functioning family supporting each other. Operating since June 1, 2017, now as three residences with five to eight residents per house, the residents have not caused any disturbance in that time and as they are alcohol and drug free it is unlikely that they will. Should any neighbours in the area have any concern about the behaviour of any resident of ‘The Cottage’ the board would appreciate being informed so that they may take appropriate action. There are strict guidelines about entry into our residences. Residents, both men and women, must be ‘in recovery,’ which means that they must totally abstain from all intoxicants and must demonstrate that they are willing to change thinking patterns by participating in future based conversations and external training programmes. The people accepted into residence have to fulfil strict criteria including finding considerable financial support to cover all living expenses and external training participation.

The purpose of The Cottage is “We commit to building a transformational model, healing the challenges of disconnection. We encourage self-leadership, empowering people to experience freedom from addiction.” The philanthropic families who have contributed time and money in providing the facilities have been very generous in their pursuit of the purpose of The Cottage. I believe most residents in the Shepparton/Mooroopna area, are naturally concerned by the number of people seen in our streets who are perhaps homeless or distressed and often causing harm to themselves and their families as a result of their addictions. Sadly, this is a current malaise of our society that many would wish did not exist. The Cottage has taken over 65 people in since June 2017 with remarkable results of family reunification and societal reintegration being demonstrated. You may have heard of the famous Cardinal Joseph Cardijn, the founder of the Young Christian Workers Movement, with its ‘see, judge, and act’ approach to social issues. It prompts awareness of social issues (see). It then judges them in the light of the Gospel, and finally, it acts to foster a better society. That is precisely why I am so committed to the work of ‘The Cottage.’ My intent is also to alleviate any concern about the location of the intoxicant free residence in St. Andrew’s Road. I know that the owners of the properties have been exceptionally generous in making the properties suitable for the residents. I am inspired by their largesse and commitment. They are supporting people who have detoxed satisfactorily and are willing to strengthen their muscle in abstinence. At our regular board meetings we insure that those entering

Page 10 – The Adviser. Australia No. 1:1407 Wednesday, May 30, 2018

the residences meet the strict criteria for entry. I was advised as chairman of the board, that there are similar residential housing situations in White Horse and Knox City, and the basis on which these properties were to operate did not require a planning permit. We are now informed by council that the crisis/shared accommodation exemption does not apply based on legal advice they received. Therefore SHADAC Inc has applied for a planning permit as requested by council. The board and I are committed to being socially responsible members of our community. We would be happy to meet with any members of the community onsite or at a suitable site to discuss any ongoing concerns that you may have. Yours sincerely, Monsignor Peter Jeffrey Parish Priest, Mooroopna Chairman SHADAC Inc.

HELPING BUILD A SAFER AND WELL EQUIPPED CITY Dear Editor, My name is Adrian Hutchinson. I attended The Cottage in Shepparton on January 18. I was there for nearly six weeks and in those six weeks it changed my life for the better. It gave me my relationships back in my life, helped me clean my life up and gave me stability back in my life. The facility is amazing. The workers there are the most decent people I’ve met. They helped me work through my problems and I feel that this is exactly what this community needs; to help others. The people in there are decent people just trying to get help. Closing The Cottage would be a massive let down for people struggling to get help, like what

I received. Yours sincerely, Adrian Hutchinson, Shepparton

CHANGING LIVES IN OUR COMMUNITY Dear Editor, I write regarding The Cottage and their application for a planning permit through the Greater Shepparton City Council. I am informed that The Cottage is not offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs on site but are offering supported accommodation for people wanting to make a lifestyle change to live drug and alcohol free. Despite The Cottage having been operational from June 1, 2017 and 65 residents having benefited from the accommodation over the previous 9.5 months, our office had not received a single enquiry or complaint about the premises until after the high profile opening on April 17, 2018 which was covered extensively in the media. Since that time, we have had one resident from a nearby street complain that they were not consulted before The Cottage was established and an enquiry from the father of a resident in the area asking how it could be approved without locals being advised. Neither of these constituents were able to advise details of any specific incidents involving The Cottage and its residents. The Cottage has proven that they have the ability to change lives and I urge everyone in our community to work together to ensure this important work continues for those who need it most. Yours sincerely, Wendy Lovell Member for Northern Victoria Region

New resource released to tackle Hepatitis B stigma ACCORDING to a Doherty Institutes National Mapping Project report carried out in 2016, Shepparton has one of the highest rates of Hepatitis B in nonmetropolitan Victoria, with .76 percent of the population diagnosed, compared to .57 percent for the rest of the Murray Primary Health Network region. To help tackle the health issue, a free resource has been released by Hepatitis Victoria. The book, titled Little Hep B Hero, is a new children’s book and resource for families to raise awareness about viral hepatitis, increase health literacy and break the silence. A Hepatitis Victoria spokesperson said, “The rates of treatment uptake and care for people with the disease is very low 4.8 percent and 15.1 percent respectively. “Hepatitis B if not detected is not only debilitating it can also be deadly, an estimated six Victorians die each week from viral hepatitis related liver cancer and liver disease. Liver cancer is Australia’s fastest growing deadly cancer. “One of the key issues is prevention and tackling the stigma that surrounds the disease.” For more information on the book, v i s i t w w w. h e p v i c . o r g . a u / s t o r e / products/107/little-hep-b-hero-book.

Tongala setting sail to be globally recognised By David Lee THE Tongala region has just been put on the map, after a new Australia National Line boat that is set to transport a range of goods to the United States was launched yesterday named after the town. The 260m long boat, which was named Tongala to pay tribute to HW Greenham & Sons that employs almost 200 people at their Tongala abattoir, carries a general cargo including paper, wine, machinery, metals and starches as

well as beef, lamb, goat, foodstuffs, citrus and pears from Australia to America. Operating since 1993 the Tongala abattoir processes more than 600 cattle a day, and has been exporting since opening, with 90 percent of their product being supplied to the American market. HW Greenham & Sons marketing and communications manager, Trevor Fleming said, “Tongala will become a globally recognised location, and with this ship estimated

to be in operation for around 20 years, that means that Tongala will be a known destination for some time. “T he A N L have a policy of paying homage to Indigenous history, therefore they decided to name the boat accordingly. People of the Murray River traces the ways in which the Ngarrindjeri (South Australia’s Murray River region), Yorta Yorta Nation (Echuca region) referred to the Murray River as Tongala or Big Water.”

Funding allocated to improve blackspot intersection THE intersection of Orrvale Road and Poplar Avenue has been addressed as a dangerous intersection due to a blackspot issue, but Greater Shepparton City Council has received $38,000 of funding from VicRoads to improve safety and address the issue. Larger warning signs with solar powered yellow flashing lights have been installed at the intersection which will

trigger as vehicles approach the intersection to warn the driver of the upcoming intersection and stop sign. Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe said, “The intersection at Orrvale Road and Poplar Avenue has a history of serious collisions. I am very pleased to see these additional safety measures are now in place and are timely coming into winter with fog and longer

hours of darkness when driving conditions become more challenging. I urge road users to take care whilst travelling on our roads to ensure their safety and those of others.” VicRoads north eastern regional director, Nicki Kyriakou said, “This is a significant project for the Shepparton communit y that will contribute to the continued development of a safer road network for all Victorians.”

Flight Centre, Shepparton Marketplace cruise winners! EUROA residents, Martin and Dee Long have never been particularly lucky when it comes to winning competitions but they certainly have been this time. Scooping up the Shepparton Marketplace and Flight Centre grand prize, Martin and Dee now have $2,000 to spend on the cruise of their choice. Martin said, “We placed two entries into the draw and got the surprise of our lives when we were told we’d won. I was a little guarded at first, I thought someone was trying to sell me something and it took a moment before I realised what we’d won!” Martin and Dee, who regularly care for their grandchildren, are looking forward

to their break. Martin said, “I’d really like to thank Flight Centre and Shepparton Marketplace.” Flight Centre manager, Nicole Adem said, “It’s a great feeling to offer such a massive prize, it’s been a great way to launch our new store at Shepparton Marketplace.” Shepparton Marketplace centre manager, Kim Bourke said, “The use of iPad entry was a first for the centre and customers have told us how much they liked the paperless entry as a quick and easy alternative.

Shepparton to become home to $23M sporting and education centre THE centre will have a focus on producing skills that are aligned to industry needs and will also offer unique acceleration to foster talent across five keys areas: self-determination, regional development, arts and culture, education and sport. A partnership between Rumbalara Football Netball Club, the University of Melbourne and Greater Shepparton City Council, the centre will offer VCE, VCAL and vocational training programs. Rumbalara Football and Netball Club president and Kaiela Institute chairperson, Paul Briggs has championed the project and welcomed the budget announcement. ‘‘I’m really humbled that the Andrews Labor Government has trust in the partnership and our leadership to put this sort of investment in,” Paul said. “The government should be congratulated for investing in a project that places Aboriginal leadership at the centre and empowers our communities. This is a game-changer for our region and marks an important investment in the future of Aboriginal people and the Goulburn Murray. “The Munarra Centre for Regional Excellence will celebrate the contribution of Aboriginal people in the region and be a major cultural hub that brings together Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal communities through sport, culture and education. “Led by Aboriginal people, the centre will embed Aboriginal culture across the curriculum and programs. It will create elite sport pathways, and play a role in cultural competency in our region. “The centre is not just about Aboriginal prosperity and economic participation; it is about investment in the region and prosperity in the Goulburn Murray as a whole. The project will have a direct contribution to the regional economy through employment and skills. “In addition, the centre will help improve social cohesion and be a major draw card for visitors and new residents in the region,” Paul said.

were sent to Australians fighting in the First World War. When the war ended, staff continued their fundraising efforts by buying cots for children in hospital and in the decades that followed, this generosity continued as many young people were in need of care and support. Hume RICS service improvement facilitator, Carole Mott said the $10,000 is greatly appreciated and was thrilled that Commonwealth Bank staff came in person to deliver the cheque. “This funding will go a long way towards assisting cancer survivors in our local community,” Carole said.

Dubai to London by sea WE have arrived in the desert kingdom, Dubai. It’s been many years since I have been here and what changes have taken place. The skyscrapers abound. The skyline is covered with them making New York’s look light on in comparison. Dubai now has the tallest skyscraper in the world and it stands over the biggest shopping mall in the world. It’s a public holiday and everyone is out to bag a bargain. No one seems short of buying power. I guess it helps that traditionally

Dubai has been a tax free zone (thanks to oil) although they have recently introduced a VAT. As for the locals if you are born into one of the seven tribes and you marry into one of the tribes, to keep the bloodline pure, then the kingdom provides you a grand house and an allowance for life, so you never need to work. So who does? It’s estimated that 90 percent of the population come from overseas fulfilling all those jobs from construction to business management and everything else in-between. These expats can make big money and retire quite wealthy to their home country. This evening we are at the Burj Khalifa, sight of the tallest building. We are waiting with a huge crowd for the floor show of the fountains. Before us is a huge man made pool. Its crystal clear and you can take boat rides on it. Then as the sun goes down it starts to a recorded sound track…the fountains spring up from the water dancing to the music. The jets of water swing and sway to the sound, shooting water higher and higher into the air. It’s very well done to the delight of the crowd. Oil has been the driving force of Dubai’s development, but as income it has now been taken over by tourism. Some 16 million tourists visit each year generating jobs and wealth. The oil is still there like wealth in the bank ready for a rainy day. It’s time to leave Dubai. We travel to the port to board our cruise ship; the Sapphire Princess. We will sail to Jordan, then through the Suez Canal to the Greek Islands, Spain, Italy, France and much more before our final destination, London. We are now cruising through the Gulf off the coast of Somalia. An alert has been raised to be on the lookout for pirates. It’s not likely they will try to board a cruise ship but just in case water cannons are at the ready on the rear deck, they would provide a high powered blast to any would-be intruder and I am told our ship is capable of out running any small craft. As we head towards Jordan the news carries the story of the US, UK and France making a joint strike on Syria, which borders Jordan. Details of the bombings are sketchy and by next morning all is considered ok. We arrive at Aqaba, the port of Jordan. Today we visit the Stone City, also known as Petra. It’s a two hour drive from the port and everyone is excited as Petra is considered one of the great wonders of the ancient world.

We have arrived at the entrance known as the Siq. It’s a narrow gorge winding its way through the massive rock canyon, the entrance itself has prehistoric carvings. As we walk deeper into the Siq we move to the walls of the narrow entrance to make way for the many horses and donkey carts used by many tourists for an easier way in, but looking at the way those carts jump about (they have no springs) I think I will remain on foot. We move along the final narrow gorge and there through a small slit in the rock is our first glimpse of the lost city. Closer and closer and there it stands before us the most magnificent façade cut from the rock known as the treasury. It’s featured in many movies including Indiana Jones. We are told this magnificent façade, like many others in the valley, are cut into the sandstone from the top down, leaving the bulk of the rock at the base to support the work carried out above The ancient Nebateans made this city their home on the main trade route 2,000 years ago but as trading moved to the sea Petra went into decline. Today it’s come alive again as millions of tourists from around the world flock to this ancient site. Petra boasts many buildings from tombs to homes, an incredible system of channels to move water to holding tanks and a Roman Amphitheatre built to seat 3,000. To visit Petra is an incredible experience and Jordan has lots more to offer including Wadi Rum a painted desert also known as the Valley of the Moon, home of the Bedouin this was where Laurence of Arabia fought alongside the local Arabs to overcome the Turks. Situated between the Red Sea and the Black Sea this is an amazing place to visit. Leaving Aqaba we now sail further along the Gulf of Suez towards the Suez Canal, with Egypt on one side Saudi Arabia on the other. Along the way we see many oil rigs; there must be hundreds of them harvesting the lifeblood of this region. We have now arrived at the mouth of the Suez Canal. Our ship drops anchor as we will have to wait until next morning for our turn to enter. To Be Continued… Until next time, Safe Travel’n Geoff Vallance.

BENALLA V SHEPPARTON… The match of the round this week will be Benalla v Shepparton. Pictured, Lachlan Thompson (Benalla) and Rowan Hiscock (Shepparton). Photo: Bailey Opie Photography.

Who will it be? T H E g a m e w h e r e B e n a l l a ve r s u s Shepparton Bears this week is a game that shapes as who will be the number one challenger for the mighty Bombers in 2018. Tatura may disagree but a win to Benalla will have them firmly entrenched in second position and a win to Shepparton will take them equal second. The Bears looked gone at three quarter time last week but showed everything a good side does to get over the line against a very good side, Euroa. Joel Brett with his pace was instrumental with his three goals and will need to be watched. He might be a bit wide with the cricket ball in hand in summer but was good in close last week. Ben Davies, big Ash Holland and Xavier Stevenson were at their best against the Magpies and will look to repeat that effort.

The Saints are looking sensational and coming off their highest ever GVL score of 38.24.252 in a lop sided contest against the Swans. Luke Morgan has his charges firing and he is himself along with Sam Martyn and Nick Warnock who kicked nine goals last week. It will be a beauty but the home side Benalla to get the chocolates. In other games, Tatura will knock United off at Deakin Reserve, Euroa won’t let a last quarter fade out cost them this week versus Rochester at Memorial Oval, Seymour at Kings Park will get a percentage boost versus Mooroopna. Kyabram? Well, yes, they win against Mansfield and the Swans at home need to fight hard against Echuca to keep it respectable.

$1M boost as thousands expected for junior soccer championships RUNNING from June 9 to 11, the championships will see 69 teams and over 1,000 players consisting of under 11 to 16 boys and under 12, 14 and 16, girls participate, as well as 3,000 additional visitors in the long weekend event at Shepparton Sports City. Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Kim O’Keeffe said it is great so see young football players and their families visit our region from Bendigo, Ballarat, Geelong, Gippsland, LaTrobe Valley, Cobram, Albury, Mildura and Warrnambool as well as our home teams. “This is sensational for the region. Once again this facility (Shepparton Sports City) is helping to put the region on the map as a sporting capital. “The event gives both boys and girls a fantastic opportunity to be exposed to a higher level of competitions than their normal weekend competitions in their home towns. “This will be a great opportunity for our region to profile our new state-of-the-art soccer facilities at Shepparton

ANOTHER SPORTING WIN… Greater Shepparton City Council Mayor, Kim O’Keeffe and Shepparton Junior Soccer Association president, Peter Hill at Shepparton Sports City, which will host the Victorian Country Junior Football (Soccer) Championships over the June long weekend and is expected to draw in over 3,000 visitors and inject $1M into the local economy.

Sports City. The championships are expected to provide a strong boost to our local businesses during a traditionally quiet time of the year. “This facility is the type of infrastructure and investment that helps to attract interest and further investment in the region,” Cr O’Keeffe said. Shepparton Junior Soccer Association president, Peter Hill said, “We have five local squads entered in this year’s championships, which is fantastic. “For us, it helps to provide a great opportunity to raise

funds through catering of the event, all of which goes back into the 30 clubs that are under our banner and back into the precinct, and to help purchase equipment such as new goals. “The tournament will give our local young players the opportunity to compete against teams representing regional areas from across Victoria. “It also helps raise the profile of our representative squad program which we hope will encourage more players to want to be involved,” Mr Hill said.

By David Lee DEAKIN Reserve played host to a first for local U18 youth girls football, when the U18 youth girls footy Shepparton United (2.12) played Numurkah (0.2) in a historic night game. Shepparton United coach, Dean Walton said, “Numurkah’s coach, Nick and I got together and had a chat about the possibility of doing a night match and thought it would be a good idea. Deakin Reserve was available and we thought it was a good way to promote girls footy at the same time as giving the girls a chance to play at Shepparton’s premium ground.

“It was a bit of a different atmosphere. We hadn’t played under lights before. There were a lot of other teams that came down to have a look as well. “Youth girls footy is growing so quickly so it was great. “Despite the cold, the girl’s skills were still very good. “If we have a dry winter, then we will definitely look at playing another game at Deakin under lights in July, which is something we will talk to the other clubs and local government about. “It was an enjoyable experience for the whole club. It was good to do something different.”
