Gillian Kline - Print WELLINGTON Shire Council and Gippsland Art Gallery, Sale, are proud to present a new exhibition Print by Briagolong-based printmaker Gillian Kline.

In this exhibition Kline presents a series prints that reflect on contemporary life. While drawing predominately from observation, her finely crafted prints also use the imagination to create mood and atmosphere.

Print will be a showcase for the printmaking medium, with a wide variety of printing techniques on display including

Sun, 30 March - 19 May Gippsland Art Gallery, Sale

relief, intaglio, etching, drypoint, aquatint and lino cut.

The exhibition will be presented as a sequence of short storylines, whose themes are drawn from contemporary global events (such as the Japanese tsunami) and from personal changes, such as the artist’s son leaving home.

‘I would like my art to reflect mood and to clarify, suspend and capture small moments in time that often relate to everyday life.’, writes Kline.

Kline completed a diploma of Fine

Art at Caulfield Institute of Technology, Melbourne majoring in Printmaking and currently owns and manages Freestone Press Printmaking Studio. This home-based printmaking studio workshop in Briagolong is building an impressive clientele and a reputation for running inspiring workshops and master classes.

25 Veterans Drive Newhaven, Phillip Island

MHHV (Military History and Heritage Victoria) and the National Vietnam Veterans Museum (NVVM) will hold a one day conference and a dinner event at the NVVM in April. The following day will be an action packed activities day.

The war in Vietnam has left indelible impressions upon our society. One of the great icons from that decade-long conflict was the helicopter. It was the

CHOPPERS: Helicopters and the Vietnam War Conference & Dinner Saturday 20 AprilConference times 9am to 4.30pm The conference will be opened by Dr Peter Edwards, AM, Official Historian for Australia’s involvement in South East Asian conflict 1948-1975, and the keynote speaker will be Air Vice Marshal Bob Treloar AO (RAAF Rtd).

Which Australian helicopter units served in Vietnam and what were their stories? How did the Australian and New Zealand air and ground crew and performance compare to others? How did they adapt to new helicopter types and tactics? How did helicopters help or hinder our operations in Vietnam?

What was the impact on casualty evacuation and survival rates for wounded? What did we learn from the helicopter experience? These are some of the questions this symposium seeks to address.

This fully catered conference, in the superb setting of the NVVM and under the wings of a Canberra bomber, will be a must-go event for Vietnam

first time that helicopters were used extensively in a war and as the war progressed the roles employed by helicopters expanded dramatically. Whether operating as slicks (troop carriers), gunships, medevac, heavy lift, observation or aerial trucks, ‘choppers’ became the ubiquitous symbol of the war in Vietnam – and essential for the conduct of the war.

No-one who served in Vietnam left without some experience of helicopters, directly or indirectly. veterans, historians and those who want to learn more about the helicopter experience in Vietnam.

PLUS the special dinner is open to all comers, seats are limited to 80.

To Register visit www. vietnamvetsmuseum.org

NVVM Activities Day

Sunday 21 April - 10am – 4pm The Museum is not only showing off its great Collection but adding a range of activities for all visitors to participate in.

For a start, in addition to traditional fare from the Museum’s own Nui Dat Cafe, there will also be the gourmet delights of authentic Vietnamese and Thai cooking. For the kids there will be quizzes with prizes and funky camouflage face painting.

For those who want to step back in time, our authentic Australian and US re-enactors will pose for photos with you at our iconic Huey helicopter and Centurion tank or on our US Willys Jeep – try on a US flak jacket for good measure! The Museum have invited some of the country’s best scale modellers to compete for prizes as well.

THE East Gippsland Field Days has grown into an iconic event over it’s 26 years in existence.

East Gippsland encompasses a diverse range of agricultural and rural industries. It possesses agricultural holdings of some 750,000 ha based around beef, wool, dairy, vegetables and cropping, is seeing a growth in emerging enterprises such as flower growing and viticulture, and has a strong hobby and part time farming population.

The shire is also home to Australia’s largest fishing fleet, a major timber industry producing 25% of Victoria’s hardwood

output, as well as expanding tourism, manufacturing and retail sectors.

East Gippsland Field Days began in 1987 around Lindenow. The number of exhibitors at the Field days continued to increase over time and by 1992 there were 130 exhibitors.

A more permanent venue was then found at the Bairnsdale Aerodrome and by 2012 some 8,000 visitors came through the gate with more than 300 dedicated exhibitor sites.

The Lions club organises the event and fundraising opportunities for local communities.

Over the Hedge, lies a hidden gem

BY JAYDEN FORSTER CHANCES are if you’ve ever passed through the town of Swan Reach — between Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance, you’ve probably driven straight past - a true little gem - Over the Hedge Café.

Formerly known as ‘Tambo House’ and ‘Moomba’, the house was built in 1901 and used as the local Post Office and telephone exchange. From the 1940s it was used as a point of accommodation – before being converted into two separate units. From then on, the property lay idle, falling into disrepair, before being renovated from 2001-2010, creating the venue you see today.

The now cute little café, perched high above the Tambo River, serves up a spectacular breakfast, all day lunch, evening meals, and what locals call, Gippsland’s best scones with jam and cream.

Only open on weekends, (Friday – Sunday), it’s fast becoming a popular place to stop in for a bite to eat, whilst sitting back and taking in the peaceful environment, and picturesque views.

Set outdoors, customers are met with a rustic metal gate, antique cash register, and a bicycle hanging from the ceiling — all little things which add to the retro atmosphere of this groovy little café.

Food

The family owned and operated business – by husband and wife, Lanny Ash and David Beasley, and daughter in law, Callie Youngs – focus on serving up larger meals, and “believe in value for money”.

With food sourced from local produce, and made fresh on-site, the dining options are endless.

Some of the café’s most popular dishes are; The Big Brekky, with bacon, egg, sausage, tomato, onion, and Mexican beans. A popular lunch choice is Local flathead tails, with a Thai noodle salad, or fresh salad ‘with the lot’. As is the coriander lamb burger, served with salad.

And, if you’re one to appreciate a good dessert, or Devonshire tea, Over the Hedge, won’t disappoint.

The café’s own passionfruit sponge proves a popular guilty pleasure. As does Gippsland’s best scones, with homemade jam and fresh cream — something which will be hard to resist.

Or, why not pop in for an evening meal, where you have the opportunity to sit back and marvel at a spectacular sunset.

Thousands of Aussies to lose up to $2000 HUNDREDS of thousands of idle superannuation accounts will be handed over to the Australian Taxation Office in the coming months if members don’t take action to recover lost and unclaimed funds.

The ATO is likely to receive a massive windfall after recent changes were implemented allowing it to hold untouched super accounts with balances of up to $2000.

Previously it could receive super accounts with balances of less than $200. Superannuation fund

providers have until May 31 to transfer these accounts across to the tax office.

Latest statistics show there are 3.4 million “lost” super accounts worth $16.8 billion and more than 2.8 million unclaimed super accounts totaling $887 million.

Lost super sits in funds and belongs to people who have usually changed their name, address or job and cannot be found by their fund.

Unclaimed super is when the member meets eligibility

requirements to withdraw it but the super fund cannot contact them.

Members will lose insurance arrangements once their fund transfers their account balance to the ATO, but they will not have to pay any fees once they move across.

Sunsuper general manager of customer experience Teifi Whatley says Australians need to act now to retrieve their lost or unclaimed funds before their money is transferred.

“It is quite a significant amount of money that is going to be moved to the ATO,” Whatley says. “There are a lot of super-fluous accounts floating around in the system ... every Australian has almost three super accounts.”

Whatley says it is common for Australians to accumulate multiple super accounts as they change jobs, with many people failing to consolidate accounts.

An ATO spokesman says there are about 1.1 million accounts on the lost members register with balances of between $200 and $2000.

“Not all of these will be eligible for transfer as some may be receiving contributions and some will be reunited with their owner,” he says.

The average balance of lost member accounts is $4940 and $317 for unclaimed super.

Australian Institute of Superannuation Trustees executive policy manager Tony Garcia says it is a simple process to track down your lost or unclaimed super.

“New enhancements to the SuperSeeker site following ATO consultation with the industry should make the process of finding super a lot easier,” he says.

“The site is a lot more powerful and allows you to view and combine your current super accounts.

“You can find any lost super reported to the tax office and any super the ATO holds on your behalf, and transfer your lost super to the super account you want.”

Customer service employee Hayley White, 21, has had many jobs and has left behind a trail of super accounts.

“I ended with a heap of super accounts and I don’t

really know what’s in any of them,” she says.

“I’ve got five accounts that I know of, there could be more out there.”

White says her parents have encouraged her to roll all her accounts into one but she says she has put this off because she was not sure how to do it.

“I think it’s one of those things you need a time to sit down and do it,” she says.

White says she will look to consolidate her funds in the coming weeks.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN? • If you have lost or inactive super accounts with less than $2000 in them, your money will be transferred to the ATO by the end of May. • There is no formal opt-out. To to be excluded you need to contact each of your super funds.

• You could be classified as lost if your previous employer gave a super fund your wrong address.

• Getting your money back from the tax office requires a lot of time.

• You will lose any insurance arrangements you have with your fund.

• You will only be entitled to interest on the money the ATO holds on your behalf from July 1, and it’s only at the rate of CPI, so you’ll be disadvantaged if your superannuation fund’s returns are above CPI.

An iconic walk through temperate rainforest Mack’s Creek loop - 24 kms - 1 day hike SOUTHEAST of Balook is the Mack’s Creek loop trail featuring damp rainforest gullies, 11 creek crossings and magical waterfalls due to frequent rain.

Starting at Mack’s Creek Hall, you’ll pass through recently harvested plantations and on to extensive Mountain Ash forests with fern gullies containing rare Hazel Pomaderris shrubs.

Make a point of visiting the Strzelecki Ranges’ most beautiful waterfall, situated among unusually large filmy-ferns (Hymenophyllum species).

Along the way you will be able to take in scenic views of Yarram and Alberton townships and also the Ninety Mile Beach and Corner Inlet.

The trail passes through a mosaic of farmland, plantations and native eucalypt forest. The latter is ideal for spotting a sleepy koala or two.

You’ll also walk through a warm temperate rainforest in danger of extinction. Witness firsthand the bush’s rehabilitation, including blackberry and willow removal, and regeneration with substantial rainforest tree plantings.

Finally take the historic coach road between Balook and Yarram and enjoy spectacular coastal views.

Baw Baw Airport Terry Williamson and Leonard Hoddinott with Leonard’s aeroplane.

The public and private life of Drouin South Airfield

BY WENDY MORRISS

ONCE, not that long ago when an aeroplane flew over a country area people would excitedly rush out of their houses in awe and watch them but times have changed. With the amount of recent objections to the proposed airfield at Drouin South, it seems some people don’t want them in our country skies, but with the world-wide explosion of private aircraft ownership and the need for faster travel, regardless of what we do they will be there. It’s a matter of where and how they land that is the issue. With the lower costs associated with particularly sports aviation many more small airfields private and public are becoming available.

During 2012, a planning permit was submitted to Baw Baw Shire Council by long-term Drouin resident, farmer, estate agent and recently elected Baw Baw Shire councillor Terry Williamson, to rezone his 32-year-old private airstrip so that it could be used as a commercial public facility. The agenda was for light sports aircraft training with 20 x 20 metre hangers for their storage. The facility would have also been upgraded for fire fighting and emergency aircraft, agricultural aircraft use and for visitors to the area particularly Lardner Park events, which are held in close proximity.

With more than 100 objections and less than 40 supporting the proposal, Terry Williamson withdrew the application due to the high costs associated with referring the submissions to a panel hearing.

With some concerns about the noise of light aircraft and devalued land prices close by, this may be good news or is it through misinformation a lost opportunity for the area to grow which subsequently could increase land prices and provide a valuable air link for the Baw Baw Shire.

Noise pollution generally has increased with new developments creating more traffic, larger trucks and farm machinery and more of them on our roads, and more visitors travelling through the region.

Until now aviation hasn’t been an issue because it has always been an activity and mode of transport apportioned to affluent people.

Aviation however, has changed. The larger aircraft have become smaller and much more affordable with some prices beginning as low as 30,000 dollars as opposed to 500,000 dollars, so it’s inevitable that we will have many more aircraft flying in our skies. The positive aspect is that these smaller modern aircraft are much quieter than the larger models and quieter than most road traffic particularly trucks, tractors and farm machinery. The question is should they land in the Baw Baw Shire or fly over it to another location.

The Gippslander recently caught up with Terry Williamson, an aviation enthusiast, and his long-time friend Leonard Hoddinott, a pilot for 44 years

and member of the Drouin Aviation Group, at the Drouin South airstrip.

The well-built 1350-metre grass runway covers 10 hectares of Terry’s 200-hectare farming property. It is 10 kilometres from the township of Drouin and 2.5 kilometres from Lardner Park. He said 32 hectares of the site including the bush and extra paddocks would have been rezoned ‘special use’ the same as Lardner Park.

“Not all of it would have been used but it’s not possible to just rezone the strip without space and buffers around it.”

The airstrip was constructed in 1980 for commercial use with the help of the then Gippsland Field Days (Lardner Park) and the Buln Buln Shire. “At the time it cost the Field Days 16,000 dollars, the Shire put in the culverts and drain and we put in the fences and maintained it,” Terry said. “At the time, there were interstate exhibitors and

business people wanting to fly in to Farmworld and we needed an airfield.

In about the late 90s they ceased possibly because of the economics at the time, but there has been renewed interest since 2010 and the new aviation has brought it to attention.

“We wanted to have a light aircraft link into the area. We saw it as a great tourist tool, we also wanted to provide a service to the local aviation interests, and that’s really all it was. There was no great plan of expansion, it was all hypothetical, but in these business plans, you have to put in possible expansions.”

Len said another idea was a Men’s Shed for aviators and it was to be a club room and a meeting room where people in the region that are interested in aviation can come and have fun talking about aeroplanes.

Terry believes the position is an ideal one because it’s amongst farmland where there are fewer houses but close enough to a regional town to encourage visitors from outside the area and also

it’s close proximately to Lardner Park that holds the largest annual event in the Baw Baw Shire. “We thought people would fly in from interstate to see Farmworld and visit other attractions in the area.”

Tony Peter’s, chief flying instructor at Gippsland Flight Centre in Sale said he couldn’t understand the objections.

“The airfield also has a large water supply in a dam close to the runway, so firebombers are able to land, fill up and take off again and there is no other airfield with this fire fighting capacity in the area.”

Terry who has recently become councillor stood for council in 2003.

He said he didn’t become a councillor because of the airport. “It’s the least of my worries. We have a shire that has problems concerning money, roads and rates. I am pro-business, development and jobs and I don’t mind saying that.

We’ve had big job losses in Warragul and we need to switch on the region’s economic motor in a big way. I hope this new council can do something about it but I am only one of nine and it is my opinion not the general consensus.

“The airstrip would boost the economy, but I would never be able to vote on that because it would be a conflict of interest, although I do have the right to put the case to Council.”

Terry Williamson next to the Drouin South airfield with Leonard Hoddinott, pilot for 44 years.

Terry said they haven’t given up on the plan to make the airstrip a public facility, and will revisit it when the State Government make changes to farming zones, which he believes is on their agenda. Meanwhile the airfield as it is now, is available for use during daylight hours, seven days a week with the owner’s prior permission.

From Stolen Generation to Koori theatre in the 70s, from film sets to Her Majesty’s prisons, Jack Charles V The Crown runs the gamut of a life lived to its utmost. Charles’ unswerving optimism transforms this tale of addiction, crime and doing time into a kind of vagabond’s progress – a map of the traps of dispossession and a guide to reaching the age of grey-haired wisdom.

Accompanied by a threepiece band, this one man show is a theatrical delight and a celebration of one of the country’s near forgotten treasures.

Home & Garden

Zone Homes - Designing your Home Retirement Income BABY boomers and older Australians seeing their retirement funds eroded following the global financial crisis, the downturn in the share market and low interest rates could increasingly turn to getting more value from their homes with a Zone Home Renovation.

General Manager of Archicentre David Hallett said, “By designing the Zone Home Renovation with two separate entries and cooking, laundry and bathroom areas, plus private outdoor spaces, a ‘baby boomer renovator’ can build in a rental return to help fund their retirement.

“It makes financial sense for anyone undertaking a renovation or building a new home to consider the Zone Home concept, which allows them to generate extra income through rental during retirement instead of having to bear the cost of downsizing.”

Mr Hallett said there is also the major benefit of being able to remain in the family home full of memories, with the familiar garden and in the area where there is connection with friends and local community activities without having to maintain a large family home. *Recent reports following the global financial crisis and the deterioration of some superannuation funds reveal that a growing number of seniors are turning to reverse mortgages to fund their retirement lifestyle. More than 40,000 senior citizens have reverse mortgages, a 22% jump in the past two years. *Source Mortgage provider Loan Market.

Mr Hallett said, “responding to recent inquiries Archicentre provides home owners with the opportunity to have a fully trained architect assess the suitability of a home

for a Zone Home renovation design which includes an architect's visit, a concept plan and a constructional cost estimate.

“A feasibility study on the viability of a Zone Home renovation is the first and most vital step when considering the creation of a retirement income from property tenancy.

“The key to the success of a Zone Home is in the initial design where the issues of compliance, including town planning, and the practical use of the home need to be carefully considered.

Mr Hallett said the concept of the Zone Home is a practical way of providing a flexible housing design solution for baby boomers who wanted to downsize without leaving their home, or for parents wanting to give their children the chance to get a toe hold in the housing market.

“The recent Australian Bureau of Statistics survey indicates that just under half of adults aged 18 to 28 have never left home, mainly because they can’t afford to, reveals the depth of the housing affordability and rental crisis.

A Zone Home approach makes it easy for people to ‘zone off’ and rent out areas of their homes in the future.

“The Zone Home is an extension of the Granny Flat concept which has been accepted widely in Australia; however the accommodation is under the one roof.

“A Zone Home is designed in such way it can become two separate self contained areas or one home, through a simple building alteration,” Mr Hallett added.

Howdy Folks!

Hope you had a marvellous Easter!

Well it’s that exciting time to plant our autumn and spring flowering bulbs! It’s amazing; you pop this little thing into the ground and a few months later- voila! A beautiful show of spring joy! There is a plethora of colour variety to be planted now!

It’s such fun choosing, the kids love it! Anyway, before I digress too much here, we’ll just mention a few of these little wonders. Daffodils aren't just yellow anymore!

Sir Winston Churchill grows to approximately 40cm, flowers in September, and is double white with tangerine centre that is fragrant. Strawberry Ruffles is more than double. The white petals are splashed with smaller pink petioles. Flowering in August to 50cm, it’s a stunner! Acropolis is also 50cm and fully double. It has white petals mixed with orange and also flowers in August. Welcome, if you love your yellows, Trenton Cottage recommends this over the famous King Alfred. It flowers in June and grows to 60cm. Jonquils too are available in many colours. One favourite is ‘Cottage Jonquils,’ a mix with a light fragrance. They flower in September. As for the beautiful hyacinths, they are available in shades of white, blue, pink, burgundy, yellow, mauve and apricot. Great to grow in a vase with only water. Tulips rival roses in variety and colour (maybe I'm exaggerating a bit) including ‘Queen of the night’ the black tulip. It flowers in September. Have you tried Painted Ladies? They are species Gladioli, stunning to see! They come in a mass of different colours and because they flower in October-November, they don’t get thrips.

By choosing your bulbs carefully, you can have flowers from June to November!

That's wonderful! So have a great time choosing and planting them. Then sit back, and enjoy the ever increasing show!

Happy gardening, Nancy
