A $360,000 City of Greater Bendigo contract was awarded in March to an East Bendigo security company owned by a Strathfieldsaye man who had placed another company, operating the same business, in liquidation last November owing more than $460,000 to unsecured creditors.

In a scathing report released to creditors in February, liquidator Nathan Deppeler said it had to be presumed under corporations law that Silverwood Management Pty Ltd, which had traded as Ironwood Se-

curity, had been insolvent for at least two years because director Adam Vassallo had failed to keep adequate financial records.

Less than seven weeks after the release of the creditor’s report, the council’s website states it awarded Ironwood Security Pty Ltd a $367,350 contract to upgrade the CCTV in Bendigo’s CBD. Council’s acting corporate performance director Steven Abbott yester-

day confirmed it had awarded and paid part of the contract, in instalments, to Ironwood Security Pty Ltd also owned solely by Mr Vassallo, which bought Silverwood’s business including intellectual property in the days leading up to the latter’s liquidation.

Mr Abbott said the works under the contract were ongoing and the council reviewed ASIC and ABN databases as a matter of course when

awarding tender contracts.

Silverwood’s liquidator wrote that the sale transactions, lack of sale documentation, and late changes to the terms of the sale left unexplained

by Mr Vassallo, amounted to “phoenix” activity and a breach of director’s duties. He concluded the sale was void and Silverwood’s assets should be counted as part of the liquidation.

Mr Deppeler’s February report said that Silverwood had not lodged

■

company tax returns for three years, quarterly business activity statements since March 2016 nor monthly business statements since Silverwood’s assets was sold in October.

But Mr Vassallo had presented Mr Deppeler with some sale documents that showed a related party had purchased Silverwood’s assets.

The buyer was Lavalsso Group Pty Ltd, of which Mr Vassallo is also the sole director, and which changed its name to Ironwood Security Pty Ltd, also just days before Silverwood was placed into liquidation. Continued Page 2

Work at site WORK on the historic Beehive building is under way and owner Craig Lightfoot faces the challenge of finding a tenant that can take on an ambitious ground floor food business that will regularly change its offerings through pop-up restaurants.

Construction group DBG has boarded up the entrance to Allan’s Walk and under way is the work of stripping out parts of the interior, restoring historic features, and at a later stage, fitting out the space.

Mr Lightfoot and DBG co-owner Brett Marris are thinking unconventionally about the restoration of the building’s interior, which first served as a stock exchange.

They are testing whether 3D printing can recreate some of the metal and timber features that need replacing in the building, including the cast iron stairwell balustrades,

some of which are missing.

Mr Lightfoot’s ideas for the ground floor of the historic building are just as unconventional.

He said he had already shown the idea to the co-founder of Welcome to Thornbury, the giant beer garden and food truck park which hosts a rotating list of food trucks from around Melbourne and Geelong.

Mr Lightfoot said Scott Assender loved the idea and the space at the Beehive, but was not yet ready for the venture.

He is confident of filling the tenancy which will also include a bar, room for dining and space set aside for functions.

Mr Lightfoot thinks work will be complete in the first half of next year.

DBG’s portfolio includes the National Gallery of Victoria and project work in historic buildings.

Bendigo Weekly – Friday, June 29, 2018

The sales transaction was voidable, Mr Deppeler wrote in the February report, because documents of the sale were incomplete and in the exchange of money, no value was given for the assets.

Mr Deppeler tracked the sale transactions which showed Mr Vassallo had transferred funds in two separate transactions in October from Silverwood’s account into his own and then back again to look like the pro-

ceeds of the sale but which actually constituted “a round robin of company funds and accordingly no genuine consideration has been paid to the company under the (Contract of Sale of Business)”.

A subsequent variation of the sale contract Mr Vassallo gave to the liquidator in December, but which was dated in late October, transferred essential creditors and debtors to the buyer but as of February Mr Deppeler said Lavalsso had not paid creditors.

“It is my view that the Vari-

ation to the Sale of Business indicates that the company (Silverwood) has not been adequately compensated for the assets transferred, the VSBA constitutes a phoenix transaction and further breaches of director’s duties,” Mr Deppeler wrote.

Mr Deppeler also queried money adding up to $174,297 paid by Silverwood to Mr Vassallo between January 2015 and October 2017 which the liquidator called “unreasonable director-related transactions”.

wood warranted further investigation, he said, but there were insufficient funds in the company to go ahead without creditors also contributing.

Regardless, it is understood the investigation is ongoing.

Despite numerous attempts made by the Bendigo Weekly, Mr Deppeler declined to comment.

The Weekly can verify the creditor’s report is authentic.

The phone numbers called for Mr Vassallo and Ironwood Security were disconnected or left unanswered.

City on Qantas shortlist

By SHARON KEMP

BENDIGO airport is competing with a $5 million carrot the New South Wales government is waving in front of Qantas to secure the airline’s $20m regional pilot academy in that state.

Of the nine regional areas shortlisted to host the 500-pilot academy, three are in NSW including front runner Tamworth.

Dubbo and Wagga Wagga are also included on the Qantas shortlist but Tamworth Regional Council general manager Paul Bennett has been quoted in several regional newspapers including the Armidale Express that “the state government

has come out and said they’ll put $5m behind any one of the NSW cities if Qantas selected them”.

Tamworth’s bid includes a readily established aviation training facility that was used as the Australian Defence Force’s basic flying training school until it was relocated to RAAF Base East Sale.

Part of the facility has since been leased for commercial pilot training.

Tamworth’s bid also includes development approvals to extend accommodation at the airport’s training facility.

Qantas listed student acommodation as a requirement to host the academy, but most other shortlisted

regional centres including Bendigo find themselves without immediate available living arrangements.

The airline intends to launch the academy at the start of 2019 with 100 students.

Despite a recent $15m upgrade, Bendigo airport also lacks an instrument landing system the likes of which are installed at Tamworth, Launceston and Alice Springs, all of which are also shortlisted.

What Bendigo has in its favour is uncongested air space, great flying weather and space to build training facilities onsite.

Leading the bid, Regional Development Victoria has said it is also working on incentives to encourage

Qantas to choose Bendigo which is the only shortlisted site in Victoria.

“This is an excellent outcome for Bendigo to be amongst the nine regional airports shortlisted from a field of more than 60 across Australia,” a Victorian government spokesperson said.

“We welcome the opportunity to continue working with Qantas to determine if Bendigo could become home to the Qantas Group Pilot Training Academy in 2019.”

Qantas will be visiting the City of Greater Bendigo in the coming weeks to further evaluate their proposal, but no dates have been set at this time.

The council is also seeking fed-

Manager Jonathan Ridnell says visitors will be dazzled by the sparktacular science.

eral government funding to upgrade the airport terminal at Bendigo as it continues to try and tempt a commercial flight service.

Complicating the council’s advocacy is the Victorian government’s intention to keep options open on the rail link to Melbourne’s main airport, one of which could facilitate a link between Bendigo and Tullamarine.

Victorian premier Daniel Andrews said the option did not undermine Bendigo’s ability to attract a commercial carrier.

“I don’t see Bendigo airport and Tullamarine competing, I think you can run discrete services that meet needs,” Mr Andrews said.

pation and lots of gags which are suitable for all ages.”

It runs twice daily at noon and 2pm.

Also running is the Hot and Energetic Universe! Planetarium Show.

“Come and learn how we explore our hot and energetic universe beyond what our eyes can see in this 20-minute video presentation,” Mr Ridnell said.

“This beautiful rendition from the European Space Organisation

shows that using equipment that measures X-rays and Gamma rays we are able to see further into space and understand more about the universe.”

This runs daily at 10.30am, 11.30am, 12.30pm and 1.30pm – seating is limited, bookings can be made at the front desk There is also a paper igloo making Hands on Activity.

“Our volunteer activity combines origami and building to explore creative ways to keep warm in

winter – help us build a large igloo over the holidays,” Mr Ridnell said.

“Visitors are invited to fold a brick, and add their own piece to the igloo puzzle.

“By the end of the holidays, we’re hoping a two-metre wide igloo will be completed in The Lab.” This activity is in The Lab from 11am until 3pm.

“And the Discovery Vertical Slide will be open three times a day at 11am, 1pm and 3pm,” Mr Ridnell said.

Road slows from Sunday

NEW speed limits on CBD streets will come into effect on Sunday as council ramps up works to increase pedestrian safety.

Council confirmed earlier this year that the speed limit on several non-arterial CBD streets would be reduced to 40 kilometres pan hour as part of a $1 million program, which also included the reconfiguration of several roundabouts.

City of Greater Bendigo engineering manager Brett Martini said roundabout works have involved tightening up intersections to force a reduction in speed.

Works are almost completed at the intersection of Queen and Edward streets, the first of four roundabouts to be reconfigured.

Roundabouts at Hargreaves and Edward streets, Hargreaves and Mundy streets and the intersection of Mundy and Hopetoun streets and Lyttleton Terrace will also be improved, while View Street will be home to a new pedestrian crossing. “(These changes will) provide pedestrian priority through pedestrian crossings at each leg on those roundabouts, which is similar to the roundabouts that we have in Williamson Street already,” Mr Martini said.

“People will notice more than anything that the pedestrian crossings will be on each of those four roundabouts.”

Mr Martini said that despite the changes, many road users won’t no-

trian crossing in View Street, pedestrians will have priority at those particular locations, and need to drive according to those new conditions.”

Mr Martini said there had been mixed feedback towards the chang-

es – primarily concerning speed and impacts on travel times throughout the CBD. He reiterated speed conditions were not being altered on speed conditions, and similar travel times were already being experienced.

“They are principally there to provide some access, but there’s a lot of parking movements, there’s a lot of pedestrian movements, which already bring the speed down, and we’re just keen to make sure that we can make that environment as safe as possible,” Mr Martini said.

The TAC’s Safe System Road Infrastructure Program are funding the works.

DANCE TIME THE stage is set for a Gala Stage Spectacular tomorrow as part of the Bendigo Dance Eisteddfod.

Starting tomorrow, and running until Wednesday, July 11, students from all over Australia to showcase their talents at the JB Osbourne Theatre at Crusoe College in Kangaroo Flat.

The spectacular will be held on Saturday at 6.30pm with guests Maree Edwards MP and Hit 91.9 FM’s Flick and Tim. Entry prices for individual sessions include $4 for children, $6 for pensioners and $8 for adults.

Day tickets are also available; $10 for children, $15 for pensioners and $20 for adults.

Everyone is welcome to support the eisteddfod and the participants.

RILEY Geyer and Chase Eeles jumped at the chance to be the Super Mario brothers this week.

The fun day was Victory Christian College’s annual Wacky Wednesday.

This year’s theme was Famous Duos or Groups and some students dressed with a Star Wars theme.

Students and staff went to school dressed in their best duo or group inspired costumes.

There was a parade of each class and fun activities after lunch.

ALL CHANGE THE exterior of Heathcote’s historic former Court House and Shire Council Chambers are is being restored to its original colour.

The building serves as the City of Greater Bendigo’s Heathcote customer service centre.

It has been painted white since the 1950s and is in poor condition with visible mould, peeling paint and damaged render.

The work will start on Monday, July 2 and will be undertaken in stages.

A grand design in Bendigo

DREAM BUILD: Phil McKern with his newlyfinished home on Mandurang Road.

Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN

LOCALS have watched with interest the 18-month build of the “house on the corner” and as the final touches are put on Phil McKern’s striking three-level house on Mandurang Road, the Bendigo Weekly asked for a tour.

By SHARON KEMP

PHIL McKern estimates as many as 20 cars a day on weekends have stopped to watch the progress of his new home on the corner of Mandurang Road and Tannery Lane, and many of his friends have suggested the house would have been a perfect candidate for the BBC series Grand Designs.

The last of the palm trees that are a feature of the grounds arrived and were planted this week which will leave Mr McKern and his family, 18-year-old Lachlan and 14-year-old Ashlee, free to enjoy their new home.

Despite the cold weather, Mr McKern said he was making good use of breezeways and outdoor areas that the house design have made functional.

He said entertaining and outdoor living were key parts of the initial

brief he provided to Bendigo-based Bree Architects.

“I wanted a big house, something that really stood out, something for entertaining and I have two children living with me so I wanted separate areas. It has also got a home office,” Mr McKern said.

He also had an idea about the look of the grounds based on a holiday he spent at Hamilton Island, of palm trees bordering native bushland.

Architects Joost and Johanne van Bree decided to frame that view.

They included in the design a 16-metre spanning concrete beam marking the boundary between the back terrace and the pool.

The feature, and the span of concrete that comprises the entire upper floor of the house, are an engineering feat, according to Mr van Bree.

There are no posts interrupting

the view.

“I would call it a contemporary version of a modernist building, all the sleek lines and the planar of the different levels,” he said.

“But stylistically we respond to the brief, and the site, and bring it all together.

“This building is kind of unique in Bendigo, it is unique in its stucture because if you took away all the paraphernalia, there are only a couple of things holding that floor up, it is cantilevering out from the central structure and lots of attention has gone into allowing that concrete to span, allowing it to be seamless.”

The expanse of lawn across the site, including on a ramp covering the lowest floor, makes the entire building seem to extend to the horizon, like it is part of the landscape, not sitting on it. But inside, the house

feels surprisingly intimate and warm thanks to the use of timber particularly as a ceiling feature, and varying room heights that demarcate spaces, including the kitchen, in otherwise open plan living.

The highest ceilings in the house are literally the sky, with part of an outdoor room on the ground floor opening through an automated lou-

vred ceiling, and living space on the roof which can also support a garden.

Ms van Bree said the palette of materials was simple and clean, primarily timber, grey block and exposed concrete.

“It is a very robust building but the timbers internally and externally bring the warmth and character to the home,” she said.

Expo to aid vision

THE latest and most advanced assistive technology equipment for people who are blind or have low vision will be on display in Bendigo at Vision Australia’s technology expo on July 9.

Regional business manager Megan McDonald says there is a wealth of assistive technology to support the blindness and low vision community in whatever they wish to do.

“We’ll have a huge range of technology on display – from simple gadgets like talking watches and kitchen scales to hi-tech virtual reality equipment that can do amazing things to maximise a person’s re-

“It’s all available right now in Bendigo.”

The expo will feature tools such as OrCam, a lightweight smart camera

that instantly reads text aloud and can also recognise faces, products and money in real time.

Also on show will be IrisVision, a software package that turns a Samsung mobile phone and virtual reality glasses into a powerful device that can dramatically magnify and enhance the vision of anything the user looks at.

Ms McDonald said anyone attending the expo must book for either a 10am or 1.30pm session and select what they are interested in.

The event will be held at Vision Australia Bendigo, 20 Bridge Street, on Monday, July 9.

Soup & Main Course & Soft Drink

Dedicated Kay calls it a day AFTER working with thousands of students, taking countless phone calls and even helping with the odd lost tooth, St Kilian’s Primary School Kay Tranter has called time on her 37 years as the school’s finance and administration stalwart.

Ms Tranter, who started her own primary education at the school and then started work in 1982, said walking out the gates for the final time today would be emotional.

“I’ve loved my time here – otherwise I wouldn’t have stayed.

I love the children, their families, the people that I’ve worked with.

I’ve made so many friends,” she said.

“Of course children make it.”

Despite electronic advances being the greatest change throughout her job, Ms Tranter said the children, and the care they require, has remained the same.

“I have a different relationship with children than their classroom teachers do. I’m the person that takes Mum’s place when they’re not well, when

they’re in the sickbay – things like that,” she said.

Ms Tranter has been overwhelmed with love leading up to her retirement, receiving cards, gifts and even a graduation invitation from students.

She’s also got plans, among spending more time with family, travelling and volunteering, to still attend the school’s end-ofyear concert.

“I’ll do that till I’m in a walking-frame probably,” she laughed.

“I have loved it. I’ve loved every minute of it.” – Sam Kane

Melanie’s a young gun

MELANIE Chester from Bendigo’s Sutton Grange Winery has been awarded the People’s Choice Award at the Young Gun of Wine awards.

Ms Chester, who has worked at the winery since 2015, aims to make sure the wine is there for everyone to enjoy and share.

“Our wines are grown and made to be shared and enjoyed with the people you love,” she said.

The awards require wine makers to submit what they believe to be their two best wines and the favourites are chosen by the public during two tastings in Melbourne and Sydney.

“To know that people enjoy our wines enough to buy a bottle and share it with the people they love is really satisfying,” Ms Chester said.

The Sutton Grange Winery will be one that will be opening its doors for the Bendigo Winegrowers Barrel Tasting Weekend, held on July 7 to 8.

Bendigo Winegrowers Association president Wes Vine says the weekend aims to give the public the chance to taste wine straight from the barrel and meet the local wine makers.

“Barrel Tasting Weekend gives you a taste of mature wines that will make their way in the bottles in the next six to 18 months,” Mr Vine said.

Other participating wineries include BlackJack, Connor Park, Sandhurst Ridge, Balgownie Estate (Saturday only) and Killiecrankie.

The tasting sessions will take place at 11am, 1pm and 3pm at no

Friday’s a top day for art friends FRIENDSHIPS are often based around a common interest – sewing, golf, tennis, hiking – take your pick.

One particular friendship group in Bendigo is firmly cemented by its love of drawing.

Group spokesperson, Kay Aitken says she and her friends are so passionate about their time together, they have named

their group, “Is it Friday yet?”

“We started to meet together a couple of years ago and since then are time together has firmed up,” Ms Aitken said.

“The great thing about our group is that not only have we made wonderful friends but we have been able to share our skills and encourage each other with our drawing.”

The women meet at the Quest Schaller Hotel and usually combine their drawing with lunch or a coffee and cake.

They generally confine themselves to using colour pencils or graphite pencils, mediums which are compatible with a public space.

The six women have a variety of subjects which they like to explore

whether they be the landscape, flora or the minutia of life.

Apart from Kay Aitken, the artists are Viv Holmes, Measly Adams, Jane Coburn, Rosemary MacQueen and Lesley Corrie.

FUNERALS - Tell me more. #1 WHAT DO FUNERALS COST? The Cost of Funerals varies, based on the elements chosen by each family. They range, in general terms from $3,500 for a ‘No Service’ Cremation, to an average $6,000 for a Standard Cremation Service and from $7,000 to $10,000 for a standard Funeral with a Burial. Of Course based on family choices these figures can be higher. It is important to remember families are in control when it comes to the elements they include in a Funeral.

The biggest varying factors in Funeral costs are; - Coffins (Standard Range $900 to $6,000 +) - Cemetery/Cremation Costs (see below) - Newspaper Notices (Ave. Bgo approx. $300) - Flowers

About Coffins & Caskets Although the terms are now generic, a Coffin is generally rounded at the shoulder and tapers to the foot end. Their origins are in our Anglo/ European history.

Caskets are a rectangular shape and generally are more elaborate and more expensive. Their origins are largely American.

Today, most commonly, coffins are made of MDF or Chipboard, a resource friendly material.

Cardboard coffins are often talked about but generally were a trend based on a perception of being cheaper and more environmentally friendly. It is interesting to note they are generally not substantially cheaper and the most environmentally friendly coffin material is solid timber, a natural product with carbon capture credentials.

Cemetery Costs In terms of costs, Cemetery fees are substantial.

30 Years ago Cemetery fees amounted to about 30% of Funeral costs now they can be as high as 45-50%. The cost of a grave and 1st interment in Bendigo, Eaglehawk and Kangaroo Flat Lawn Cemeteries can be up to $5,000* White Hills is a less expensive option at around $3,300*. This does not include memorialization.

A Cremation on the other hand is approx. $850 (Cremation Fee $750 and Doctors Certificate from $75), however cremation does not provide a location/memorial to visit, this is an additional cost if memorialization is required by the family.

Simon Mulqueen of BENDIGO FUNERALS has been a Funeral Director for almost 40 Years, for more Information contact BENDIGO FUNERALS on 5444 0400 *Cemetery fees can vary dramatically based on Cemetery & Grave location and specific requirements including grave size & depth. ** The information provided in this column is general in nature and intended as a guide only.

Daughterly love THE QUEEN OF BLOODY EVERYTHING Joanna Nadin Mantle $32.99 LIFE is anything but conventional for Dido Jones. Six years and 27 days old when her story opens, Dido is being raised by a barely adult, would-beartist, bohemian mother, Edie, and Edie’s loosely knit circle of eccentric lovers, the little girl’s biological father unknown.

Having left a ramshackle share flat in suburban London the pair have landed in Saffron Walden, Essex, an obscure, middle-class town where they settle into a dilapidated double-storey “gingerbread house” inheritance.

It is here that Dido’s new identity unfurls.

Despite the proximity of a seeming “fairytale castle” adjoining their backyard, she soon discovers she is fated to be the tragic heroine Cinderella, Ugly Duckling, Jane Eyre – but without the slightest suggestion of a happily-everafter outcome as reward for her pain.

Growing up in conservative Safford Walden in the 1970s and ’80s is a challenge for any child without money, family influence or respectability.

Dido has none of these, and Edie’s increasingly outlandish behaviour drives an

ever-deeper social wedge b e t we e n these selfanointed “queens of bloody everything” and their upper-crust neighbours in the mansion next door, David and Angela Trevelyan and their children, Harry and Tom. Much to the horror of the stitched-up Trevelyan matriarch, from their very first meeting under an apple tree at the foot of the garden the three youngsters are inseparable.

Dido and Harry are physical, emotional and intellectual opposites but now the closest of friends, sisters in everything but blood; Tom is Dido’s Prince Charming – the boy beautiful to whom she pledges her puppy-fat-padded heart and, later, her first stirrings of teen infatuation, then sixthform love.

Through a monologue delivered half a lifetime later to Edie, narrator Dido revisits almost four decades of motherdaughter trials, tribulations, laughter and tears, set to a soundtrack of Live Aid, mix tapes and bleary-eyed morning-after admissions, all with a literary theme.

I FEEL for people with unusual names.

Pronunciation and getting names right has been somewhat of an issue this week, and it’s one most people can relate to – some more than others.

This column has once before spoken of when, many years ago now, yours truly was introduced as Noel while presenting at a conference. Not that it was anything like an actual issue, but I could understand the mix-up.

Noel is only a letter away and the overwhelming majority of speakers at the event were a few years older than I so there could have been Noels aplenty.

Last weekend I attended the same venue for another event, the Noel incident long forgotten. Not long after the gig started, one of the speakers turned to me and said “thanks Darren”.

I didn’t immediately realise.

“Who on earth is Darren? Wait, was he speaking to me? Surely not...

Where did Darren come from?”

As it turned out, he had thought my name was Darren. I was now Darren for the rest of the day.

The speaker apologised profusely, and said he was given a dodgy piece of info from the person he was sitting next to.

I couldn’t have cared less, and I went on to call a speaker named Allan “Adam” a few hours later.

Good one.

The fact of the matter is, a mispronounced or misunderstood name can and does happen to anyone.

That makes the recent criticism

of SBS presenter Lucy Zelic all the more ridiculous.

Zelic is a presenter for the broadcaster’s football coverage, who has been criticised for putting on a “fake accent” when pronouncing the names of players.

Pronouncing them correctly, mind you.

As a broadcaster, getting names right is not an option, it’s a basic requirement of your job.

The trickiest name I’ve had to deal with on air this year was Fremantle’s Taylin Duman, pronounced “DO-man”.

I still struggle to instinctively say the “V” sound in “Riewoldt”.

That Zelic can leap from Argentina’s Gonzalo Higuain to Croatia’s Mario Mandžukic and Morocco’s Aziz Bouhaddouz and pronounce their names correctly and with ease is mighty impressive. And she makes the effort to get them right.

We’ve all had our names misheard or mispronounced, and yes, it’s annoying. Anyone striving to avoid that exact situation in the fashion Zelic does is to be commended, not criticised.

In an emotional on-air defence, Zelic’s offsider and former Socceroo Craig Foster put it best: “SBS is about respecting every single culture and of course the way that you use the language is the most important way to show respect.”

Zelic is showing respect to the individuals and the audience by ensuring she does her job to the best of her ability.

We all owe her the same respect in return. – Joel Peterson

A railway pioneer GEORGE William Knight, the London born young man I introduced last week, was through his father’s determination trained in both practical and theoretical skills.

His father John ran a large contracting business employing more than 100 men involved in stonemasonry, canal work, bridges, docks and the early railways.

His sons James, John and the youngest George, were all roped in from an early age in their father’s business which became known as Knight and sons.

Although studying most nights of the week, somehow, George still had time to indulge in the propagation of plants in the conservatory that had been built for him at their home.

George’s education had been most thorough taking in engineering, surveying, railway work and architecture.

At the parish church of St Dunstan, Stepney, in London George, aged 21, married his sweetheart Elizabeth Patience Middleton on December 31, 1853.

Two children were born in London, William John, October 6, 1854 and George Walter July 5, 1856. Elizabeth’s father was Josiah Middleton.

Older brother John had come to Victoria almost at the start of

the gold rush in 1851, having established himself in Melbourne becoming an architect in partnership with two others.

John corresponded with his younger brother George and encouraged him to come to Victoria as there was such a high demand to develop infrastructure as he stated, there were endless opportunities.

On December 5, 1856 the young Knight family boarded the sailing ship the Swiftsure, captained by WB Pryce.

The journey was relatively quick for the period they arrived in Melbourne March 14, 1857.

The family found accommodation at Prahran where their youngest son George Walter died.

Another piece of bad news soon followed, George received notification that the ship was burnt out at sea, in the hold was his surveying and architectural drawing instruments as well as cases of reference books.

This loss was profound, the £350 insurance cover was not as important as the items that were to be his stock and trade.

George Darbyshire was the chief engineer for the railways which were just being constructed here in Victoria, under Darbyshire was Robert Adams whom George had known when working on the

ON TIME: Australia’s first railway line opens in Victoria.

East and West India Docks in London.

Through Robert Adams George was appointed an engineer for the Williamstown railway line.

This line was not over challenging terrain from a construction and engineering point of view it running over flat coastal land.

The line was completed in reasonably quick time considering the rail lines themselves all had to be imported.

As early as 1839 surveyor Robert Hoddle had made provision for the linking of Melbourne to Hobson’s Bay. A private concern had been established, and on January 20, 1853, the Hobson’s Bay Railway Company had been approved by the Victorian colonial government.

The next major railway line was to be the Melbourne to Murray River Railway. Echuca had been an immensely important inland port, and it was figured that the wool production from the Riv-

erina could be transported by rail to Melbourne faster and at much more competitive rates to provide a good income for the railways.

Additionally, the planned line would link the major Bendigo goldfield to the metropolis.

A company was formed to take on this massive undertaking on February 8, 1853, however there was little action and on May 23, 1856 the government took over the concern through its Department of Railways. Cornish and Bruce were the successful contractors they began on June 1, 1858.

William Crocker Cornish along with John Bruce won the contract for £3,357,000, the two men had planned to split the areas of work into sections and on each of these the work would be commenced.

Sections one and two was to Sunbury, George William Knight had work to do on those stages as well as the following one.

Saving our collections IN 2016 the Bendigo Historical Society made a budget submission to council to address urgent storage needs for the BHS collection currently stored in a portion of the Bendigo Regional Archive Centre in Nolan Street, Bendigo.

The council allocated $15,000 for a strategic report investigating the storage needs of five heritage groups in Greater Bendigo.

The resulting Strategic Report on Greater Bendigo’s Historical Artefacts by Dr Megan Cardamone was presented to council in February 2018.

The report is available on the council website.

This report concluded that there was an urgent need for an extra storage facility for objects and artefacts and recommended that the original plans (drawn up in 2009) for such a storage building next to the current BRAC building be completed, and qualified curatorial staff be employed by the council.

The report also recommended the immediate installation of three ATCO buildings to alleviate the severe shortage of appropriate storage space at Nolan Street.

Volunteers are doing an amazing job under difficult conditions, working to preserve the Bendigo community’s heritage collection.

About half of the BHS collection of 45,000 items has been catalogued. This cataloguing must be completed so that the whole collection is available for any future museum.

The report also recommended that the council develop a Heritage Collection Policy to ensure the future survival and preservation of the collections of more than 20 heritage groups in Bendigo and to support and assist the heritage groups who are struggling to survive.

The council needs to accept responsibility for securing the future of these vulnerable community collections before they are lost.

The final recommendation in the report was that a feasibility study be commissioned to determine the best options for a museum for Bendigo.

A feasibility study by experts in this field would determine the most appropriate facility for the available collections and the most suitable space to tell the stories of Bendigo including the stories of pre-white settlement.

Surely the people of Bendigo deserve to have a choice about the type of museum they want.

One that is built to comply with national standards and administered by qualified curatorial staff.

A museum to complement our art gallery, new military museum and the Golden Dragon museum.

If a feasibility study recommended a new, modern and innovative purpose-built exhibition space on a green fields site with parking and easy access for everyone to all facilities, it would have my vote.

Implementing the four recommendations of the Strategic Report on Greater Bendigo’s Historical Artefacts is essential to preserve the heritage collections of greater Bendigo so that they are available for any future museum.

Barbara Poustie, Bendigo

Genuine divide PETER Lesuey’s letter published on June 22 is very valid in its assertion that Jacinta Allan would do well to travel from Bendigo to Melbourne by train rather than fly so as to taste real world experiences upon which she and most other politicians pontificate and make decisions.

Perhaps if the minister for health found herself waiting for hours at a public hospital or told to wait months or even years for specialist treatment things might change.

Imagine the education minister had an obligation to send his/her children to a public school; one wonders if the funding models might be more studiously revisited?

And don’t forget the poor souls hanging out for assistance with public dental access, a bit of “real world experience” might not go astray there either.

There is a genuine divide in this country and it is getting worse.

We have the homeless, the addicted, the incarcerated, the entrenched and inter generational poverty stricken and that rapidly expanding group of the working poor but their representation remains with smirking privilege across the country.

But it will not change as anyone who knows the political system can attest.

Get on that train often all you politicians and public servants and give the money you save to the homeless: your time is of no greater value than anyone else’s.

Off track THE City of Greater Bendigo along with the Bendigo Mountain Bike Club have silently worked for up to four years on the 50-kilometre mountain bike racing track plan within the Greater Bendigo Regional Park, between Spring Gully and South Mandurang, without discussing what they were planning with other interested parties.

The four-year process lacked input from groups such as the Field Naturalists, who have been conducting Brush Tailed Phascogale conservation project of state significance in the area, the orienteer’s, the Family Nature Club, U3A bushwalking groups, La Trobe Outdoor Ed and the many others who enjoy and value parks.

As a result the final report, Spring Gully Trail Network Master Plan, is one-dimensional and lacks credibility, as it fails to recognise that there are other groups and individuals that use this area and that they will have their interests impacted by what is proposed.

The one-page Ecological Desktop Conservation Review contained within the final report fails to discuss the ecological damage that can and will result from the racing track.

It does not consider the effect the proposal will have on matters of national environmental significance and important populations or critical habitats of listed vulnerable species.

Nor does it discuss the una-

THE PALMS AT CROWN

voidable impact the racing track will have on species of state and regional significance.

So far the plan has cost the city $89,000.

Council was asked for its estimated 10-year costs due to the need for ongoing maintenance but it appears that such information is commercial-in-confidence.

It seems that there are some things the citizens of Bendigo must not be told.

Stuart Fraser, Bendigo

Sell off THE federal government has now targeted the ABC to be sold off.

What have we got left to sell after already selling off all our commodities such as gas, water, electricity, closed down our car industries and sold off farming land and the TAB. They have made all these free trade agreements that do nothing to support our farming industries.

The government are beating their chest on all these so called jobs they have created, how many of these jobs are permanent not casual part time positions?

Now we see that another Australian company Telstra will shed 8000 jobs over the next three years.

Maybe they will start trading people for slave labour, so much for us supposedly being the lucky country.

Lipoedema awareness JUNE is recognised worldwide as Lipoedema Awareness Month.

Did you know that one in 11 Australian women are affected by lipoedema – and most have yet to receive a diagnosis?

Are your legs heavy, swollen and painful? lipoedema typically affects the thighs, buttocks and lower legs, and sometimes the arms, and may, although not always, cause considerable tissue enlargement, swelling and pain.

It may significantly impair mobility, the ability to perform activities of daily living, and psychosocial wellbeing.

It is not widely recognised by medical professionals despite having been first diagnosed in the 1940s.

Increase in lipoedema is often noticed when significant hormonal changes happen.

If you have lipoedema or think you may have some symptoms it is important to remember it is a medical condition and not your fault, and caring for yourself is the most important thing you can do.

Lipoedema Australia is the peak national body and is dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by lipoedema through education, advocacy and support.

Cash for a cause AT this time of year we barely think of the Country Fire Authority.

It’s minus one celsius in the morning, and it’s the time for bonfires.

But give it a few months and the CFA will be back in our minds.

This vast army, staffed with many volunteers, works to keep us all safe when the unthinkable happens.

Their year-round task is busy enough, but when the so-called fire season is upon us they are pushed to the limit on the bad years.

Days at the firefront, days away from families and the sheer discomfort and danger of fighting fires.

Every member deserves the accolades they receive, but perhaps we could do more for them.

Recent disputes have show many volunteers want to remain just that, untied by wages and restrictions, and with their own officers, and perhaps they have that right, but where the line must be drawn is on equipment.

Slightly off our patch, but not too far down the road is the LangleyBarfold CFA shed.

As its name suggests it’s that lit-

BendigoWeekly

Editorial Comment tle patch of Victoria a few kilometres north of Kyneton on the RedesdaleKyneton Road.

If you ever headed that way you will have seen their shed by the road.

Earlier this year the unthinkable happened.

The shed was broken into and some tools were stolen.

Then, to add further insult to injury to the shed was broken into again, the ute was stolen and torched at Lake Eppalock.

This is is bad enough, but now the members of the Langley-Barfold CFA are having to raise money to replace the unit.

There is lots of funding to be had from the state government, but the fact they feel the need to fundraise is not really acceptable.

This one instance highlights a

ridiculous situation in the funding and supplying of the CFA. Rather than equipment being supplied as a matter of course, individual members have to put their own time and effort into form filling and fundraising.

The Langley-Barfold CFA did have the ute insured, but fear the payout will not cover the cost of replacing it, and the pumping equipment installed.

It seems state government spending is a little adrift when lifesaving volunteers – and the State Emergency Service fits under the same umbrella – is left to staff and fund itself in some instances.

We so often hear of money spent on infrastructure by the state government, and good on them, but it’s mostly there because of taxes paid by the people of Victoria.

Surely those people of Victoria would be happier some of the money went to funding our emergency volunteers and their equipment, rather than government masterplans and consultancies.

It’s potentially lifesaving, and shows more respect for those who lay their life on the line for us.

opinion

By LISA CHESTERS Federal Member for Bendigo

I THINK it’s fair to say that the last few months of federal parliament has been dominated by tax debates.

Both Labor and the Liberal parties have put forward their alternative tax plans, but what does this mean for you, your family and Bendigo workers?

For people who argue that there is no major difference between the two major political parties, this debate busts that myth. The government’s income tax reform will see low income earners receive a tax cut of about $10 a week from July 1, 2018.

This reform was welcomed by Labor but this is where the bi-partisan support on tax reform ends.

Over the next six years,

the government’s plan will mean that someone earning $200,000 a year will pay the same tax rate as someone on $40,000.

This is unfair.

Further, those in the top tax bracket, earning more than $200,000, will receive the greatest benefit from the government’s

more tax cuts to the top tax bracket at a time when working Australians are struggling with soaring cost of living expenses – energy and health costs are higher than ever and wage growth is at record lows.

Labor has been critical of this approach be-

...we can put more money into the pockets of working Australians new tax system – and this is on top of a cut to their tax rate last year.

In fact, the Liberal Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s tax cuts will put $7000 a year back into his own pocket while the vast majority of workers in Bendigo only get $10 a week.

I, like many, don’t agree with the government’s choice to give even

cause we believe it’s unfair and that is why we’ve announced an alternative plan. A Labor government will deliver permanent tax relief for the Australians who need it most.

For Bendigo, this means 74 per cent of workers will be better off under Labor’s plan.

We will seek to implement better, fairer tax cuts through Labor’s Tax

Refund for Working Australians – which would double the tax relief to up to $928 per year.

Labor is also opposed to the Liberal government’s $80 billion tax cut for big business. Every dollar that Mr Turnbull gives to big business and the big four banks is a dollar that is not going to our local schools, hospitals and TAFE. Government is about priorities. I believe Australia needs a fair tax system and tax reforms targeted to those most in need.

In a nut shell, what my Labor colleagues and I are arguing is that because our plan isn’t to give millionaires another tax cut, or giving big business an $80 billion tax cut, we can put more money into the pockets of working Australians, fund better schools and hospitals, and invest in the infrastructure that our region needs.

ITH dozens of happy clients and a reputation for quality work, along with good old-fashioned down-to-earth advice Centre State Drilling is the team for finding water throughout central Victoria.

And a genuine no water no charge policy ensures you only pay for an operational bore, with a fifteen litres a minute guarantee.

“Our property gave all the signs of water and we engaged Dan to do a bore, unfortunately, after hours of work drilling, there was only a trickle which really was useless and not enough to finish the bore,” Liz Guest from Riddells Creek said.

“Without any fuss Dan was true to his word and did not charge us anything, just cleaned up and left. I highly recommend him to anybody who is considering using centre state drilling.

“Other drillers would most certainly have charged us thousands for a tiny trickle of water. Do not think twice about calling Dan, make him your first call.”

Centre State Drilling provide a free onsite consultation, groundwater database search and report, written quote and even a water bore drilling tutorial DVD. They also only use quality Australian made bore casings unlike some other companies who use cheaper imported casings.

“If a job’s worth doing it’s worth doing properly the first time, it’s worth using the very best materials available,” Dan said.

To discuss your water bore requirements, call Dan McMahon on 0421 870 308, email centrestatedrilling@yahoo.com.au or visit their website or Facebook page for more information.

OD Rainford and the team from Advanced Engine Dynamics in Golden Square, have all your engine builds needs covered with a lifetime of engineering experience.

Today Rod and his team’s knowledge is sought by automotive enthusiasts Australia wide for street and strip applications and everything in between, from standard head work through to special one-off performance engine builds.

Rod already had oil running through his veins before he started his automotive engineering apprenticeship in the early 70s prior to establishing a reputation as a formidable drag racer, with a swag of national titles.

“We’re the only shop in country Victoria that specialises in high

performance race engines with a fully equipped 5 Axis CNC porting machine, offering unsurpassed precision with superior technology,” Rod said.

They also have their own engine dyno and have been building engines for some of the best in the business, to reproduce the most powerful and efficient designs available for any application.

“We also specialise in a fast turn around and can generally have an engine build in and out of the shop in a matter weeks,” Rod said.

Phone 5443 3883 or call in personally and speak to Rod and his team about your next engine build or check them out on Facebook.

Eaglehawk Recycle Shop THE Eaglehawk Recycle Shop, open seven days continues to be a popular destination for both enviromentally friendly shoppers and bargain hunters alike, especially now that their recently opened ERS Bazaar has extended trading hours due to unprecented demand, making them a true one-stop recycling shop.

The popular bazaar offers an ever changing range of pre-loved clothing, shoes, handbags and accessories, allowing the recycle shop to further reduce waste in an innovative and creative way while offering the public more variety.

Being a not-for-profit organisation the recycle shop and bazaar have created up to 14 jobs through the sale of secondhand and recycled materials at their busy Upper California Gully Road complex.

Eaglehawk Recycle Shop’s manager Peter Buck said said they were extremely pleased with the initial and continual response to the bazaar’s opening since April.

“From the ground up we have embraced the reduce, reuse, recycle philosophy that drives us, both as a business and as a community enterprise,” Peter said.

The Eaglehawk Recycle Shop encourages the donation of good quality clothing, shoes and accessories to continue to drive their new business.

Donations and custom help not only to reduce landfill and waste, but contribute to the continued

maintenance of the Eaglehawk Recycle Shop and to support the community through paid employment opportunities.

Central Victorian House Inspection & Building Consult Service CENTRAL Victorian House Inspection service is part of the family operated building business GW & JA Whitfort.

Central Victorian House Inspection & Building Consultant Service was started in 1986 after several real estate agents requested Garry Whitfort inspect the structure of dwellings, for prospective buyers.

This was the beginning of Bendigo’s first professional prepurchase house inspections which is now into its 32nd year of service.

“Buying a house is a huge investment for any buyer and a building inspection and written report from an experienced and qualified person can help give the purchaser the peace of mind that their investment will be a good one,” Garry said.

“The inspections are only carried out by either myself or my son Paul, who between us have over 75 years of experience in the building industry which allows us to see areas that may not be noticed during a general walk-

through inspection by a purchaser.”

A building inspection will provide a report on overall structure integrity, along with a thorough visual inspection of subfloor and ceiling cavities, internal and external cladding and operation of doors, windows, fixtures and fittings, resulting in an overall condition report with defects noted.

Eaglehawk Remembrance Park HOW you honour the memory of those no longer with us may be one of the most important decisions you will ever make.

The dedicated staff at Eaglehawk Remembrance Park will ensure the memories of your loved ones are not forgotten, in a place of remembrance and reflection for future generations.

The addition of timeless granite pods in the Lakeside Memorial Garden at Eaglehawk Remembrance Park further increases the number of memorial options available.

The Lakeside Memorial Garden

is located under the watchful eye of a dedicatory statue and a lone pine commemorating the Anzac centenary, making it an ideal area for quiet reflection.

Numerous other options provide the opportunity to capture a loved one’s personality and individuality in death as it was in life.

Strength and longevity are often associated with a rock memorial, while elegant weeping rose gardens allow for up to eight interments.

Or perhaps the more natural settings in the melaleuca, native and family gardens (the latter

allowing up to 12 interments in total) or traditional lawn, monumental and niche wall memorial options may be preferred.

Memorials may be established even if a loved one is not interred at the site. Eaglehawk Remembrance Park is open for reflection 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The partners and specialist staff will ensure that all your taxation, business advisory, audit, self-managed superannuation fund, payroll and bookkeeping requirements are professionally and diligently prepared.

Unlike many other accounting practices, Goers & Maunder, still has, and always will have, a focus on ensuring individual taxation clients have access to knowledgeable and expert accountants. “Our skills and expert knowledge ensures we will explore all relevant tax deductions for your circumstances, which minimises your tax payable and therefore maximising your potential refunds,� Goers & Maunders’ Brad Pepper said.

Goers & Maunder also ensure their services remain cost effective by completing individual tax returns from just $99.

They also provide business advisory and administration services to all business clients, regardless of turnover, complexity or the accounting software used. “We tailor an individual accounting solution to ensure accurate, timely and only relevant accounting services are provided to meet the needs of all our clients,� Brad said.

So if you need a complete accounting solution or just assistance in completing taxation returns or Business Activity Statements, Goers & Maunder have a solution to meet your needs.

In an era where most of us are expected to provide our own retirement income, Goers & Maunder are also assisting many of their clients in the establishment and ongoing administration of their self-managed superannuation funds. Goers & Maunder Accountants 63 Midland Highway, Epsom Phone 5448 3980 Email goers@netcon.net.au

Bloods honour anniversary

By ALEX GRETGRIX

RICK Townsend says that even during his five year presidency there have been significant changes to the South Bendigo Football Netball club.

These memories and many more will be remembered and celebrated at the Bloods’ 125 Year Anniversary weekend coming up on July 27-28.

Townsend spoke of the fond memories he has as a supporter of the Bloods when he was younger.

“I remember standing here at the QEO at the 1974 grand final, I was only 10 years old,” he said.

“I remember watching South Bendigo win and all of those legends, Bernie McCarthy, Teddy Oldridge, Alan Ellis... And for me to be interacting with them now is really great.”

Since the club’s entry into the Bendigo Football League in 1893, the Bloods have won 24 senior football premierships, one of the highest tallies among BFL clubs.

Despite this, the club hasn’t been able to win a flag since 1994 and has seen its fair share of hardships in the past few years.

“When this administration first came in, the club was in a bit of financial trouble and we were down the bottom of the ladder,” Townsend said.

“But we’ve worked to fix our financial problems and we’ve worked hard to build a strong culture at the club so it’s a club

GOLDEN Square Football Netball Club’s annual holiday program is on again next week.

The program will involve footbal activities over Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week and a day of netball on Tuesday.

The program features skills clinics, a host of games and a nutrition and lifestyle component.

Participants will each receive showbags with a football or netball and other assorted items.

Places are still available and the program caters for students from five to 15.

Places are $70 per day or $170 for all three days of the program.

For more information contact Brendan Stewart on 0488 183 511 or Shawn McCormick on 0420 938 138.

THUNDER BACK IN TOWN

MILESTONE: July will be a month of off-field celebration for South Bendigo. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN that is a place where players enjoy being here... There’s a really great feel around the club right now.”

One of the major changes in South’s history has been the introduction of netball around 25 years ago.

“It’s been a positive impact.

It’s brought a whole new dimension, new families and whole new social dimension to the

club,” Townsend said.

The club’s rich history will be on display for past and present players and families to reminisce on at the opening of the A Journey Through Time exhibition on Friday, July 27.

The Bloods will then hold a Gala dinner on Saturday, July 28 after their clash against Golden Square at the QEO, with a two course dinner and stories from

the past 125 years.

“There’s a long history at the club... I think the whole weekend will be great and it will be pretty exciting to have everyone coming back,” Townsend said.

To RSVP to the event, contact the club via email at events@ southbendigofnc.com.

Tickets for the gala dinner are available online at www.trybooking.com/374709.

THE Bendigo Thunder return to the QEO on Sunday when they host Diamond Creek in round 11 of the Northern Football league Women’s season.

The Thunder has lost consecutive games heading into the rematch with Diamond Creek, a side they faced last week in a quirk of the NFLW draw.

Bendigo went down by a goal to the Creekers, despite coming back from three goals down at three-quarter time and holding the hosts goalless in the final term.

The Thunder sits second on the table at 6-3 from nine matches.

Sunday’s game begins at 3pm at the Queen Elizabeth Oval with free entry.

Roar talent leads to win

Cross-town clash for HDFL rivals LOCAL rivals North Bendigo and Huntly will square off in a key Heathcote District Football League clash on Saturday as the league’s top bracket of sides begins to take shape.

The HDFL’s top four sides are locked together on 32 points, with Leitchville Gunbower, North, Colbinabbin and Huntly all recording eight wins and two losses through 10 games.

The Bombers top the pile with a percentage of 212.39, down to the Hawks in fourth on 163.20.

Lockington Bamawm United rounds out the final five, but is two games in arrears of the leading quartet and sits three games ahead of sixth-placed Mount Pleasant.

The matchup between Huntly and North could start to put some breathing space between the leading pack of four, with Leitchville to play Colbinabbin next week and Huntly to play the Grasshoppers in three weeks’ time.

North thrashed the Bombers a fortnight ago in a statement of

Half forward Sean Morris is in red hot form, booting 13 goals in the past three games for the Dogs amid a powerful forward line mix.

Key forward Sean Christopher has booted 23 goals in five games as the spearhead of the Dogs’ attack after crossing from White Hills where he booted 47 goals last year.

The midfield battle against the Hawks will be intriguing, with North’s Troy Kelm, Jarrod Find-

Forward Harry Whittle kicked seven goals to be the Hawks’ only multiple goalkicker last week as they were soundly beaten by LBU. Saturday’s clash is at North Bendigo’s Atkins Street Oval from 2.15pm. In other round 12 matches, Elmore hosts Mount Pleasant, LBU plays White Hills and Heathcote faces Leitchville Gunbower.

Fisher had another chance just moments later, but pulled his kick left and had it ushered through for a rushed behind.

From that point, just minutes into the final term, BSSC would not register another score as CMC dominated general play.

Robinson’s second goal reduced the gap back to 12 points and CMC had countless chances thereafter to capitalise on their momentum.

High mark for Wilson

By JOEL PETERSON

THE Bendigo Braves will celebrate yet another major milestone this week when Andrea Wilson plays her 300th game for the club.

Wilson, a two-time WNBL champion with the Bendigo Spirit and three-time SEABL champion with the Braves, notches the milestone when the Braves women play Geelong tonight.

The guard, known as ‘Mops’ to teammates, has played under four coaches with the Braves and is the longest-tenured active member of the team.

Recent seasons have seen Wilson win a netball premiership with Golden Square and a football flag with the Bendigo Thunder, but her first love has always been basketball.

Both Andrea and sister Kelly have been mainstays among Bendigo’s basketball community, both with the Spirit and Braves.

Andrea followed Kelly, a year her elder, to Bendigo to study pharmacy at university after playing junior basketball at Leongatha.

She hasn’t always seen big minutes on court, but Braves coach Megan Moody said her effort drive the standards of the whole team.

“Her work ethic and commitment to the team can’t be faulted, and as a player she is highly respected by all that have played with and against her,” Moody said.

“She is an amazing person both on and off the court, and is the epitome of what a great teammate and friend is.

“I personally feel very fortunate

to have had the opportunity to play alongside ‘Mops’ and to now be coaching her.”

The 13-0 Braves women play Geelong tonight before playing Sydney Uni on Saturday night.

The Braves men, meanwhile, have strung together three wins on end and tonight face the biggest match of their season so far.

Bendigo plays Geelong, the two sides sitting a game apart in fifth and sixth, respectively.

The Braves produced a stifling defensive performance to comfortably beat Mount Gambier last Friday night 68-53 before requiring overtime the following evening against Albury Wodonga in a 102-94 victory.

The Supercats toppled the league-leading Kilsyth last weekend after putting up 104 points on

Frankston the night prior but Braves guard Indiana Faithfull said the hosts are building confidence.

“It’s been good to get a few wins on the board, there’s a bit more confidence in the team,” he said.

“Defensively we were really good on Friday night and although we weren’t at our best on Saturday we found a way to grind it out and get over the line and in the end that’s what counts.”

The Braves have just the one game for the weekend, the first of three straight matches at home including a Wednesday night matchup against arch rivals Ballarat on July 11.

Shaking the Blues

KICKING ON: Strathdale’s women’s team plays Golden City on Sunday. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN A SLUMPING Strathdale can arrest its fall down the Bendigo Amateur Soccer League’s women’s championship table this weekend when it faces Golden City in round 12 of the 2018 campaign.

After bursting out of the blocks and setting the pace atop the ladder early, one win from the past four games has seen the Blues jump to sixth, but only one point off fourth.

Consecutive draws against Shepparton South and Colts United have allowed Eaglehawk and Epsom to

jump above the Blues into fourth and fifth.

But with Golden City sitting a lowly 10th, Sunday’s match is the ideal opportunity for the Blues to get back on the winners’ list.

Shepparton United sits five points clear atop the table, with Shepparton South in second.

United plays fifth-placed Eaglehawk this weekend, while South plays bottom side Tatura.

In other games, Epsom plays Spring Gully United and Moama-

Echuca faces Swan Hill.

In the men’s championship, Strathdale continues to lead the way and faces Golden City on Sunday.

The key match of the weekend sees second-placed Eaglehawk travelling to play Shepparton United, which sits third, two points behind the Hawks.

Epsom and Spring Gully meet at Epsom Huntly reserve, Shepparton hosts Colts United and Tatura plays Shepparton South in other matches, while Moama-Echuca has the bye.

The pride of Bendigo

By JOEL PETERSON

BENDIGO Senior Secondary College has won its way through to the Herald Sun Shield after a thrilling victory over cross-town rival Catherine McAuley College in the School Sport Victoria Premier League grand final.

The Lions controlled the majority of tWednesday’s showdown at the QEO but withstood a withering final quarter burst from CMC to cling to a 6.4.51 to 5.8.38 victory.

Lions coach Rick Coburn said post game he was extremely proud of his side, and paid tribute to the challenge the determined CMC team presented.

The game was marred by a heavy third-quarter collision that saw CMC midfielder Flynn Perez stretchered off the ground and as a precaution taken to hospital.

In contrast to the meeting between the sides three weeks ago it was the Lions who jumped out of the blocks, Caleb Fisher opening the scoring with a major just a handful of minutes into the game.

The Lions’ defence, led by Deklan Loveridge and Schischka, held CMC goalless until eight minutes into the second term when Charlie Robinson bobbed up inside 50 and goaled to level the scores.

A goal to Alex Jenkyn and a scintillating piece of transition play from BSSC leading to Riley Matricardi waltzing into an open goal saw Senior’s lead pushed out to 13 points with less than a minute left in the first half.

From the resultant restart CMC took the ball out of the middle and found Sean O’Farrell inside forward 50 as the half time siren sounded.

ROAR TALENT: The BSSC Lions proved too good in a thrilling premier league grand final. Photo: ANDREW PERRYMAN But the talented forward couldn’t convert the chance from 40 metres out, pulling his kick left and through for a behind as CMC went into the interval 12 points in arrears.

The Lions started the second half as well as they could have hoped, Matricardi marking in front of the legions of CMC students in attendance.

Copping a healthy dose of goalkicking advice from over the fence, he

calmly went back and threaded the needle, celebrating by turning to the crowd as he gave BSSC a three-goal break.

It didn’t last long though, as the two sides went goal-for goal.

Daniel Clohsey was felled just a minute later and won a 50m penalty, coolly guiding home a set shot of his own to again reduce the buffer to two goals.
