East Gippsland Shire News

Metung Magic METUNG village is tucked away, like a well kept secret, in a peaceful corner of the Gippsland Lakes. The village is all about boating. You can watch them from the shore or take to the water yourself. If you bring your own boat, there is a boat launching ramp on Shaving Point, and some properties also offer jetty mooring. If you don't have a boat you can easily hire a boat or join a cruise.

There are plenty of options from skippered sight seeing cruises, hire of day boats and kayaks and offshore ﬁshing charters. You might even like to skipper your own yacht or cruiser with a single day hire or live aboard boats for up to 10 people to with B&B on board. It's both incredibly romantic and fabulous for families. Metung is a beautiful place to stay. The village has always drawn those seeking a place that gives you time to recall the

simple pleasures of life. Strolling along the boardwalk and watching the yachts ﬂy by, setting up your deckchair for a spot of ﬁshing, dining in the sunshine or swimming at the Metung beach. It's a little bit of magic in our own backyard. www.metung.com.au

METUNG FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL The 2013 Metung Food & Wine Festival will be held on Sunday 9th June (Queen's Birthday long weekend) from 11am until 4pm, showcasing the fabulous food and wine that Metung and surrounds has to offer. East Gippsland food and wine producers will be hosting the event in a marquee on the Metung Village Green. Gourmet food producers will be serving complimentary tastings from their menus as well as preparing signature food dishes just for the event, whilst award-winning wineries will offer free tastings along with serving wine by the glass. Last year’s festival saw a crowd of over 500 from all over Australia enjoy the delights of East Gippsland, as Jane McKay of East Gippsland Eats described: "we all know that if it's made in beautiful East Gippsland it's got to be good but last year many people had the opportunity to try something different, something they didn't expect to be made in East Gippsland and, judging by the crowds, everyone was pleasantly surprised." There will be new products, dishes and new release wines to try again this year, so take advantage of the long weekend and enjoy all that East Gippsland has to offer, food, wine, activities and beautiful scenery. The event is supported by East Gippsland Shire, Metung Business & Tourism Association and proudly sponsored by Kings Cove Metung and Kings Cove Club. Entry is free.

From the Horses Mouth

GROOMING - THE BASICS Horses groomed regularly have healthier and more attractive coats. Many horse management handbooks recommend grooming a horse daily, though for the average modern horse owner, this is not always possible. However, a horse should always be groomed before being ridden to avoid chaﬁng and rubbing of dirt and other material, which can cause sores on the animal and also grind dirt into horse tack. Grooming also allows the horse handler to check for injuries and is a good way to gain the trust of the animal. Proper basic grooming of a horse is a multi-step process involving several simple tools: Curry, curry comb, or currycomb: Usually a round tool with short teeth made of plastic or stiff rubber, used to loosen dirt, hair, and other detritus, plus stimulate the skin to produce natural oils. Dandy brush: A stiff-bristled, “dandy” brush is used to remove the dirt, hair and other material stirred up by the curry. The best quality dandy brushes are made of stiff natural bristles such as rice stems, plastic-bristled dandy brushes are more common.

combed or are brushed with either a dandy brush, body brush, or a suitable human hairbrush. Hoof pick: All four feet of the horse need to be cleaned out and inspected for signs of injury or infection. In special weather conditions, a metal shedding blade with short, dull teeth is used to remove loose winter hair. Metal grooming tools used on sheep and show cattle may be too harsh to use on a horse. In the summer, ﬂy spray is often applied to the horse after grooming. Sweat or Water Scraper: A metal or plastic tool to remove excess liquid from a horse's coat. Sometimes, though not always, horses are clipped with scissors or, preferably, electric clippers. The most common areas are a short “bridle path” just behind the ears, where a few inches of mane is removed to help the bridle lay more neatly; and the fetlocks, where extra hair can collect undesired amounts of mud and dirt.

“Others came out of nowhere to offer assistance. One man walked in one day and said his nephew was an artist with the BCAS, and asked if he could put in a 1300-dollar security system for us. Things like that just kept happening. We received 3000 dollars from the Department of Sustainability and Environment, through State MP Ken Smith, which paid for the gallery lighting, and Werner and Ursula Theinert installed the lights. The Metal Workers Union members of the Desalination Plant donated a television while an artist

donated a painting and both were rafﬂed to raise more money. We were also able to get furniture from the Desalination Plant along with other community groups. “On the opening day, which was a Sunday, we packed the gallery. It was absolutely shoulder-to-shoulder. Since then we have been open ﬁve days a week and doing better than we expected.” www.wonthaggiartspace.com.au

Investment property hot spots - how to pick ‘em PROPERTY investment is an art. Luck, of any kind, just won’t deliver a good return on your investment time-and-time again. Therefore, as a property investor one of the most valuable skills you’ll need to develop is knowing how to pick property ‘hot spots’.

An investment property hot spot is one that will allow your investment’s value to rise signiﬁcantly.

Some of the best ‘hot spots’ can be found in the following locations:  Coastal areas. Waterfront locations draw a premium price and continue to gain in value. Before buying however, make sure you ﬁnd out about ﬂooding and insurance costs.  The Hills. Everyone loves beautiful scenery, especially from out of their home windows. Look for property in growth areas that are situated near

your financial business centre 35 Hotham Street, Traralgon 3844

 Good infrastructure. Access to freeways, highways and quality roads, as well as rail and buses needs to be convenient, along with access to schools, educational facilities and medical and shopping precincts. This will keep your property in high demand.  Development. Always look at council plans and forecasts before buying. This will allow you to gain a strong sense of what is happening or about to happen in an area. It will also give you an idea of where the region is heading and how it will look in 5, 10 or 20 years. Finally, think as an investor when you buy, not as a prospective home owner. Leave your emotions at the door and put your business cap on. You’re buying to make money, not to fall in love and live in the property yourself. If you are interested in property investment, why not give us a call for a quick discussion about your options. Club Financial Services Gippsland 035175 0411

Before buying an investment property you should also consider the following:  Economic prosperity of the area. Good population growth, strong employment, new supermarkets and low rental vacancy rates are all key factors for successful property investment.

your future your freedom your club

town centre hubs or have water views.  Afﬂuent suburbs. Dress-circle properties are always in high-demand. Plus, when a suburb becomes unaffordable, often people elect to buy in a surrounding suburb. Search for an affordable property that is situated as close to an afﬂuent suburb as possible.  Boom areas. Growth areas with high employment usually generate a boom in housing demand and this pushes up property prices. Mining regions in Australia are excellent examples of this. The key to buying in these regions is to know when to buy and hold, and when to sell.

The Art of Peking Duck P

eking Duck is famous around the world for its' succulent moist meat and crispy glass like skin. Originating in Beijing, Peking duck is considered one of the true art forms of Chinese cooking. The skill in perfecting Peking duck is closely guarded, rarely shared outside ones' immediate family. Traditionally Peking duck is sliced and served inside a thin wheat pancake, accompanied with hoisin sauce, cucumber and spring onion. These condiments compliment the very sweet and savoury ﬂavour of the succulent duck meat. Authentic Peking duck takes days to prepare, with many of the cooking techniques stretching beyond a household cook’s capability. One of the methods involved in perfecting Peking duck is allowing the skin in dry out so it separates itself from the meat. Another of the processes involves blowing air inside the duck with a bicycle pump, again to maximise the dry heat between the meat and skin. Marinades are complex as their high sugar content from condiments such as maltose, orange and honey will likely blacken the skin before the duck has a chance to cook though. Oven temperature is another crucial element in achieving the perfect crispy skin. An unfortunate truth to preparing Peking duck is that it cannot be duplicated in the domestic kitchen.

Chinese Duck Pancakes at Home Ingredients 1 duck 1 packet duck pancakes ready made 1 cucumber 1 bunch spring onions 1 orange (rind) 1 small jar of Hoisin sauce 1 bicycle pump From the pantry Honey, salt, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger powder Marinade Combine 1 tbsp. honey, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, salt, ginger and garlic powder into a bowl. Add a little hot water so it melts the honey a little. Set aside as this is be into the marinade for the duck.

the skin of the duck. Add a dessert spoon of hoisin sauce inside the cavity of the duck. Add a few pieces of spring onion and the rind of an orange. Leave for another hour or until the skin becomes dry.

A household oven is often not large enough to hang a duck vertically throughout the cooking process. This method of cooking allows the duck fat to constantly baste the outer skin through the duration of its' cooking time, something that cannot be achieved if the duck is ﬂat on a tray. Having said that and whilst I cannot divulge

Another of the processes involves blowing air inside the duck with a bicycle pump, again to maximise the dry heat between the meat and skin. all my family culinary secrets in perfecting Peking duck, I have provided a home recipe version for you to try. And the good news is that Peking duck will be available at Floating Dragon Dockside Restaurant from June of this year. If you would like to treat yourself to our Peking duck, please mention this at the time of your reservation. A day’s notice is preferable. Prices start from $36 per person with a minimum order for two people. Floating Dragon recommends you bring family and friends along with you, as sharing is highly recommended. Contact Kohn or Sheenie Hwang on (03) 51551400. Email info@ﬂoatingdragon.com.au

Preheat oven to 180°. Before the duck goes into the oven use a bike pump to pump air underneath the skin of the duck. Do this from the top of the neck and blow air between the meat and skin. The duck should double in size if done correctly. If air is escaping this means that the duck skin has a tear somewhere and it will not work. You can continue without this process if you like.

Method

Add the remaining marinade to the skin and cook the duck for 1 hour or until the duck skin is golden. Turn the duck regularly to avoid uneven cooking.

Wash the duck with warm water leaving the head and neck intact. Pat the skin dry and leave in a warm area for at least an hour.

Slice duck and serve in pancakes with hoisin sauce, cucumber match sticks and a baton of spring onion.

After an hour rub some of the marinade on

Enjoy – Kohn

Discover & Shop Drouin

Eat, shop, be local

Image courtesy: Jacksonsview.com.au

The Baw Baw Shire has a variety of retailers ranging from boutique specialty shops to larger chain stores. The Drouin town centre is one of the largest retail precincts in the shire with several shopping strips housing great boutiques as well as discount stores, top restaurants, cafes and bakeries and the big chains as well. The monthly market adds another level of choice to the mix. A lot of towns would be envious of what Drouin has to offer.

7 Reasons to Shop Local

1 2 3

Put Your Money Where Your Heart Is… Support your friends, neighbors and yourself. Invest in our community; help create a stronger and healthier town by keeping our money here. What Goes Around Comes Around… Two or three times as much money spent stays in the local economy when you buy goods and services from locally-owned businesses. Community Stainability… Local stores help sustain vibrant, compact and walk-able town centres – which in turn are essential to reducing sprawl, vehicle use, habitat loss and pollution.

4 5 6

Keep Our Community Unique… One-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of every town. Create Collective Prosperity… Locally-owned businesses invest more in local labour, pay more local fees, spend more time on communitybased decisions and create local events. In doing so, they create more opportunity for all of us here in our community. Local Owners Care About the town… Local business owners live in and love their towns. They are less likely to leave and are more invested in the future of our whole community.

Give Back and Take Care… Local business owners make more local purchases themselves. Locallyowned companies and employees are statistically more likely to give to local charities.

Autumn-Winter Discover South Gippsland

A South Gippsland roadtrip STRUNG along the South Gippsland Highway in South Gippsland are three towns that form a shopping, services and entertainment hub for locals and visitors alike. Korumburra Korumburra is our ﬁrst stop – Korumburra's shopping precinct primarily stretches along a wide boulevard through the centre of town with a picturesque backdrop of rolling green hills. The streetscape boasts many heritage buildings Korumburra is known as the “Heritage Centre of South Gippsland”. It is the home of Coal Creek Community Park and Museum. This village depicts life in the area over the period from the 1870s to 1920s, as the town rapidly expanded following the discovery of a coal seam. The outdoor museum covers 30 acres (120,000 m2) of bushland, including 60 exhibits. Entry is fee all year round. Coal Creek also hosts regular festivals and the Farmers

Market which is held every second Saturday of the month from 8am until 12.30pm. www.coalcreekvillage.com.au Korumburra is also the base of the popular South Gippsland Tourist Railway which operates a service between the major centres of Leongatha and the market town of Nyora. If you are visiting ‘Burra be sure to sample the delicious coffee, breakfast and lunch menu at the warm and inviting Cafe Swiss at the bottom of the hill in the main street. Leongatha Next stop along the highway is Leongatha the commercial and civic centre of South Gippsland. Servicing local residents and some of the smaller surrounding communities, Leongatha offers boutique shopping in a pleasant country setting. A good selection of shops extend along both sides of the wide boulevards of Bair Street and McCartin Street.

Where these two roads meet are some of Leongatha’s oldest buildings including the Post Ofﬁce (built in 1887), Court House (1912) and Mechanics Institute (1912) which now serves as a local history museum. Memorial hall, which is undoubtedly one of Leongatha’s most impressive buildings, was built between 1925 and 1926. Today it functions as a citizens advice bureau, art and craft gallery and community hall which has lately been staging some impressive musical events organised by the Lyrebird Arts Council. Martha Wainwright will be appearing on Sunday the 16th of June with ground ﬂoor seating already sold out. Unallocated balcony theatre seats were still available at the time of going to press. The RSL in Leongatha, which is behind the Memorial Hall is a great place to have lunch or dinner. It’s a very friendly environment and great value. It also houses a very interesting military memorabilia exhibit.

Meenyian Continuing on our journey along the South Gippsland Highway we come to Meenyian, a smaller village with a big creative presence. Meenyian is the spiritual home of the Lyrebird Arts Council and has earned a reputation as the music capital of South Gippsland attracting a vast and eclectic array of Australian and international music acts to perform at the Meenyian Town Hall. See what’s coming up at www. lyrebirdartscouncil.com.au. There are quality eateries to tempt the taste buds and if it’s a day time trip – peruse the treasures housed at The Antique Shufﬂe and other boutique stores. There is always something new to see. Meenyian is central to the Great Southern Rail Trail which runs from Leongatha to Foster.

Home & Garden

Your home – Energy wise living AN energy-wise home is a great home to live in as being energy wise can save you money, enable you to live comfortably year round and reduce your impact on the environment. There are three factors to consider if you want to create a comfortable home in which to live: the season, the surrounding environment and the local climate. The key to year-round comfort is passive solar design. This is where a highly trained architect carefully combines materials, construction methods, building form and the sun’s natural energy to help keep your house cool in summer and warm in winter.

CLIMATIC RESPONSE Australia has three primary climates, hot and humid, hot and dry and temperate. The climate plays a central role in housing style and selection of building materials. LOCAL CONDITIONS Natural features of the surrounding suburb or region also impact on the site. There are factors which are intrinsic to the form the building will eventually take, such as the slope of the land, adjacent shade trees, nearby waterways, prevailing breezes, views etc.

Locally owned and operated

To achieve energy-wise living, an Archicentre architect will consider: climatic conditions, prevailing local conditions, site orientation, the zoning or location of the rooms in your home, materials and construction techniques.

Locally owned

SITE ORIENTATION The ﬁrst step in orientation is maximising the northern aspect, where exposure to the sun is best controlled. Eaves and pergolas can be precisely designed to block the summer sun, yet still allow the desirable winter sunshine to penetrate.

ZONING It is important to prioritise rooms based on access to views and solar penetration. An open plan kitchen and living area, for example, should have pole position, while bedrooms or bathrooms require less daylight, as they are largely used for short periods of time, or at night.

intelligent glazing and ventilation controls, all arranged in a way that enhances comfort, anywhere in Australia.

INSULATION Insulation is paramount to having an energy-wise home experience. Lining the roof, walls and ﬂoor can reduce heat loss in winter and heat-gain in summer. Consult an architect about the requirements for effective home insulation.

North-side deciduous trees that shade the house during summer, allow the sun prime access once they have lost their leaves in winter. Reducing your exposure to the west will also minimise heat gain via the horizontal rays of the hot summer sun. Verandahs are not nearly as useful to the west and east of a house, as a vertical screen or thick planting is the only way to reduce heat load from these directions.

Walls with a high thermal mass should be shaded to minimize a heat load in summer. GLASS Glass is a very poor insulator. An energy- efficient design considers size, location, glazing type and window coverings. Other important factors include: locating windows away from the western sun, and in some areas, the eastern sun, placing tight fitting pelmets over curtains and blinds to trap air and create a layer of insulation to reduce heat loss on winter nights, reducing heat load and glare with specialized glass treatments CROSS VENTILATION Cross ventilation is an important design factor, and entails providing at least two carefully placed and treated openings in every room. LOUVRES Louvres are helpful as they can direct the air flow towards the occupant of the room. High level windows can allow unpleasant hot air to escape, resulting in the drawing in of cool air. Reversible ceiling fans are great in summer and winter. In winter they push the warmed air down to where you are sitting. DOOR & WINDOW SEALS Doors and window seals are important to prevent cold air from whistling under your windows and doors and warm air from escaping. Energy-wise design is not an add-on feature. These principles come naturally for an architect, developed from years of training and expertise. Simple design techniques can help you achieve a home that is comfortable year round, use minimal energy and provide a quality lifestyle no matter where you live - at no extra cost.

Nancy’s Notes Howdy folks! Wow! Autumn is quickly turning into winter isn’t it? This is a reminder that it won’t be long till asparagus crowns arrive and with them can come confusion, maybe we can help. They will be 2 year old bare rooted and look like huge many legged spiders! As they last around 20 years they can be divided, you won’t need too many however. Prepare your site with extra lushness. They absolutely adore a friable, rich, well drained soil. This should be about 25-30cm deep and leave a path of about 60cm between the rows. Make a trench with about 15cm of your rich soil at the base. Spread your ‘spider legs’ evenly over the soil at the base of the trench and cover this with another 15cm of the rich soil. As the young spears come in spring, fill in your trenches, but don’t cover the tops of the spears. Some folk like to keep only males because they bare more spears. These are taller with the foliage beginning higher up the stem. The females will eventually get berries. They must have full sun. Anyway, on to maintaining your patch. Since you have 2 year old plants, you will be able to give them a light harvest next year when they are 3. Younger plants of course will be a longer wait. Near the end of April, when the fern yellows and before it seeds, cut it back to ground level. In the winter time, dose the bed up with lime and then some compost and manure. You can also throw around some all purpose fertilizer. In fact, many say you cannot over feed the little darlings! Once your patch has reached 5 years and better, you will be able to harvest from mid September to late November. Never cut after mid December as this will weaken your crowns. This is your choice whether or not you hill the spears to blanch them. (I love them green) oh yes, they love a drink as much as they love tucker (but not wet feet) cut the spears 3-4cm below the surface when they are about 15-22cm high. So out we go to prep that bed! Enjoy! Happy gardening, Nancy

MAY in the Vegie Patch The main vegetables which can be planted this month are broad beans, peas and some varieties of onions.

ANY TIME THIS MONTH • Continue to control slugs and snails. • Remove and compost or bury any remains of summer crops. If your tomatoes suffered from wilt or similar viruses it is better to get rid of the old plants so as not to spread the disease in the soil. • Sow broad beans • Sow seed of Early Globe, White Spanish or Australian Brown onions • Sow seed of Pukekohe/Creamgold onions. Probably the best long-keeping onion for size and ﬂavour • Sow peas • Sow turnips (great for soup and traditional pasties).

MORE NOTES  Broad beans like a sunny spot with protection from wind. Most varieties are tall and will tend to ﬂop over after a shower of rain. Choosing dwarf varieties or planting them along a trellis where they can be tied will overcome the problem. Alternatively you could put stakes along each side of the rows and run some string between the stakes to stop them ﬂopping over.  The main disease of broad beans is Chocolate Spot. This shows up as brown spots on the leaves, often causing them to shrivel and die. Good air circulation and not planting them in the same place as last year will help.  Broad beans will be ready for use early in the spring when there is not much else around. They seem to be a love ‘em or hate ‘em

vegetable but if picked and used fresh they are tasty and nutritious. Pods can be picked when they are pencil thickness or a bit more and used like ordinary beans or left to develop more and then ‘shelled’. If you don’t let the pods get to big the seeds will be sweet and tender. Boil or steam them until a knife goes through them easily, then drain, add a knob of butter and leave the lid on until you have ﬁnished serving up. They are delectable. The growing tips can also be cut and used as you would spinach. Add “If you have a question about food growing you can email me on growit-eatit@bigpond.com or fax me on (03) 5127 2727.

• It’s almost time for bare rooted fruit trees, so start preparing beds now; • Lots of lovely rich organic matter, a bit of moisture and some mulch will see the soil absolutely gorgeous by the time your trees are ready to go in! • Have a think about what tree varieties you are after, you may need to do some research into the best supplier. Especially if you are after an heirloom or unusual variety. • Give Brassicas a blast this month, and pop the following into your patch: • broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Plant some sage with these guys as a great, caterpillar and moth-repelling companion! • By putting in peas and broad beans now, you are giving them the winter to extend their roots deep. This means that when the weather does start getting warmer and the frosts disappear you are ahead of the game. Radish, Swedes, turnips and spinach will also crop well if planted now. Don’t forget spring onions either this month. • Set aside a bit of space and pop in an artichoke! These are gorgeous additions to the patch, look amazing and taste pretty good too! • Add some colour and movement to the patch and pop in some pretties; • dianthus, cornflower, pansy, viola, verbena and lupins. Having these around your vegies will give some interest to the patch, and act as beneficial insect attractors! • Top up mulch on your veggie patches, herb gardens and ornamental beds, especially important for weed suppression at this time of year. Mulch to a depth of about 7cm after

watering the patch. Keep mulch clear of plant stem, especially young seedlings. Choose a low environmental impact, locally sourced mulch that will enrich your soil as it breaks down. • Green manure crops, including oats, wheat, faba beans and field peas are good to go now… improve that dormant veggie patch, and get ready for next seasons heavy feeding plants! • Plants feel the need for a feed at this time of year. A seaweed tea, or any low environmental impact liquid fertiliser is perfect for the seedlings you’ve just popped in. Apply to the soil early in the morning and in the concentrations mentioned on the packet. • Weeds run rampant this time of year. Cut down the competition between your produce plants and these space invaders. It may sound tedious, but it’s incredibly rewarding! Try making a weed tea to feed your winter crops. • Water smarter at this time of year. Water first thing in the morning, and instead of quickie irrigation, a nice, deep drink a couple of times a week is far more beneficial! Always check soil moisture before watering at this time of year…. don’t waste your precious drinking water if Mother Nature has already done all the hard work for you! • Cold days mean a bit of shed time… why not build yourself a nice blackboard for the shed, to keep track of what has been planted in your patch where and when? This makes crop rotation a load easier, and allows you to keep track of feeding times and dates, what worked, what didn’t and what’s happening in the veggie garden.
