ONE TO A THOUSAND Tom Parry ryy

THIS weekend’s North Gippsland senior football clash between Heyfi field i and Yarram brings with it a milestone for one of the regi gion’s i unsung heroes.

Pete Perillo will be overseeing his 1000th football game as umpire, a feat unmatched by any of his peers.

Mr Perillo, who has offi ficiated i every match so far as a central field fii umpire, first fii became involved with the Sale Umpires Association in February 2005.

“I’d come to a bit of a crossroad in life, and I saw an ad in the Gippsland Times, in fact – a little five fii or six-line paragr graph, r ‘Sale Umpires Association are looking for umpires’,” he said.

“An And n I haven’t stopped since. I love it.”

By his own estimation, Mr Perillo drives up to 400 kilometres each weekend to umpire matches, and runs the equivalent of 12 to 15 kilometres per game, which can grow grr tiring.

“Sometimes, you get to an end of a game and think, ‘Oh, what am I doing here?’

“An And n there’s a couple of times where I’ve got close to giving gii it away, but you wake up the next morning and you think, ‘why would you?’

“An And n I probably won’t give gii it away until I can’t run anymore.”

Although he enjoys umpiring, Mr Perillo admits that sledgi ging i and abuse from the crowds can be a problem.

“Wh When h the opinions are coming from over the boundary line, it’s really diffi ficult i to concentrate, and stay focused – and that’s the most important thing.

“An And n when you lose focus out there, the game’s over.”

He invites anybody who seeks to criticise umpires to come down to training on a Tuesday or Thursday evening.

“I encourage everybody to have a look and have a think about what we do, before they start yelling and screaming.”

Regardless of whether footy fans accept his invitation or not, Mr Perillo is simply going to continue doing what he loves: “I’ll keep going until they stop selecting me.”

You can watch Mr Perillo umpire his 1000th game on Saturday, May 7 at the Gordon Street Recreation Reserv rve, v Heyf yfi field i from 2.30pm.

MAFFRA Golf Club has undertaken a chainsaw safety course with ACE Training in Sale.

The course was conducted as part of Occupational Health and Safety recommendations drawn up by Ken Armanasco, a consultant in OH&S and risk management.

The course saw seven volunteers complete the two-day course and achieve their safety certificates.

With falling limbs and trees a continuous problem at the club, the committee felt it was important to protect their volunteers by providing them with the proper training and the correct personal protective equipment.

Wellington Shire Council provided financial support to allow the club to undertake the program.

Festival opens in magnificent fashion Tom P T Parry THE 2022 Stratford Shakespeare Festival got underway last week with a traditional launch at the Courthouse Theatre.

The official opening took place on Thursday, April 28 and saw speeches from dignitaries, previews of this year’s events and the presentation of awards for the 2021 Festival.

Wellington Shire chief executive officer David Morcom, Mayor Cr Ian Bye, and Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester were among those in attendance, with the latter officially declaring the festival open.

The audience was then treated to a brief teaser of The Macbeths, a post-apocalyptic adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth by the locally-based dramatic society, Community Players.

The Players were also award-winners on the night, collecting two accolades for last year’s drag- and disco-inspired adaptation of Julius Caesar – one for Best Costume Design, presented to Claire Flack; and the other for Best Actor, gifted to Calvin Capraro for his eclectic, gender-bending performance.

Elsewhere, the Sheila Malady Short Story Award was jointly won by local writer Frazer Burnett, who collected his prize in-person;

Youth Achievement Award winner Blake Roberts.

Additionally, the highly-coveted Janice Jones Youth Achievement Award was won

by Blake Roberts, acknowledging his wide and varied contributions to the event.

As Blake’s proud father, Festival president

G i R b t noted t d the th prestige ti his hi son’s ’ Gavin Roberts win brings with it.

“The list of people that have won the Janice Jones award – some of them are now working for Village Roadshow Films, for Netflix in Canada, so it’s something that really is quite an honour, and it really does set young people up to realise you can (have) a creative future,” Mr Roberts said.

The evening’s festivities were bookended by a humorous short film from members of Overcoming Obstacles, drawing laughs and cheers from the Courthouse audience.

Mr Roberts described the opening as “excellent” with a “very, very good turnout”.

“It was a really nice introduction to the Festival, with a really strong youth focus,” he said.

Stratford Courthouse president Steve Laws said it was “amazing” to have the Festival up and running.

“The number of people turning up just for an opening, and for a performance by a bunch of young adults… it’s amazing support from the community, and I guess it makes the hard work we’ve put in behind the scenes worthwhile,” Mr Laws said.

The Stratford Shakespeare Festival runs until May 15.

THE annual Candlelight Vigil tomorrow is a national day to bring people together to remember, honour and grieve the women and children who have been killed through family and domestic violence.

This year, Gippsland is working together to remember the women and children killed as well as call out the ongoing risk to Gippsland women and children.

Wellington Shire Council will “light up” The Wedge purple in recognition of the event and a local Candlelight Vigil, organised by Uniting, will take place on the lawn next The Wedge (Port of Sale) tomorrow from 6.30pm–7.30pm.

The Vigil will take place inside The Wedge in the event of rain.

Scarlet & Grace, a home fragrance and body care family-owned business based in Sale, have teamed up with Gippsland Women’s Health (GHW) to produce a limited-edition Lotus Flower candle with 10 per cent of proceeds from every sale going towards actions to stop violence against women in Gippsland.

Attendees at the Candlelight Vigil are encouraged to bring along their candle or purchase it.

Gippsland has some of the highest rates of family violence, intimate partner violence, rape and indecent assault in Victoria.

“On average, one women a week is murdered by her current or former partner in Australia.

More than 50 per cent of our region including East Gippsland, Wellington, Latrobe and Bass Coast are four of the most dangerous locations in Victoria for women and girls to live. In several areas in Gippsland a woman is 26 per cent more likely to

Art trail puts Yarram on the map Tom Parry & Stefan Bradley

ON the South Gippsland Highway, about one kilometre from the centre of Yarram, a large bus filled with tourists comes to a stop on the wrong side of the road.

Its driver directs the passengers to a mural on a nearby wall – a stunning aerosol painting of sailing ships in battle on the high seas.

The admiration of the passengers is briefly drawn, before the bus leaves just as quickly as it arrives.

This is not an uncommon occurrence for Paul Frost and Jody Twite, operators of the Ship Inn Motel.

“A lot of them just pull-in and drive off again,” Mr Frost remarks.

The motel’s nautical-themed artwork is one of the 24 installations in Yarram’s Street Art Trail, a series of spray-painted murals that is turning the small town into a must-see destination.

Local publican Wayne Tindall was the catalyst for the trail, who made connections with the street art community whilse residing in Prahran.

As Mr Frost tells it: “He had a studio in Artists Lane, and he had a great big wall down the side and thought, him being an artist, ‘I'll paint that.’”

Time constraints meant that Mr Tindall couldn’t fulfil this ambition himself, so he called upon the services of other artists to do the work instead.

“They all came down and they all just painted the street, the whole wall, and had a street art party,” Mr Frost said.

Mr Tindall moved to Yarram soon after, founding the Bull Bar & Gallery and inviting one of those street artists – Khosnaran Khurelbaatar, a.k.a Heesco – to paint a mural on his wall.

Impressed with the work, Mr Frost invited Heesco back to Yarram and commissioned the artist to paint two more murals – one on the front of the Ship Inn Motel, the other on a wall at the rear of the establishment.

That second mural is arguably more stunning than the first.

Located behind the reception area and next to the swimming pool, said mural features a set of nefarious characters, an octopus with a monocle, various severed tentacles and a smattering of pop-culture references all surrounding a piratical bar.

Following these efforts, Mr Frost established a committee of himself and two others – Mr Tindall, and farmer Eric Greenaway – to forge the idea of a localised art trail, drawing inspiration from the Silo Art Trail in north-west Victoria.

Their initial proposal sought to have ten murals in Yarram, which proved a harder feat than they imagined.

“Wayne and Eric canvassed lots of people to try and get the 10, and it wasn't taken on-board straightaway,” Mr Frost explained.

“But then slowly, people sort of thought about it, and thought it would be great idea.”

And the rest, as the cliché goes, is history.

The 24 murals are scattered across town, each and every one of them telling a story.

At the Yarram Golf Club, there’s a portrait of South African golfer Gary Player, commemorating his historic visit in 1956.

On the side of the Yarram Bakery, a montage of Vietnamese refugees serves as a "Thank You" from local resident Liem Nguyen, who migrated to Australia following the Vietnam War. Meanwhile, the Mechanics Hall wears the face of Ada Crossley, an operatic vocalist who garnered worldwide fame at the turn of the 20th century.

Yet the most impressive of the works is the

The mural at the rear of the Ship Inn Motel.

Mongolian Light Horseman mural, the last to be completed by Heesco, which can be found on the Sports Stadium in Grant Street.

The artwork not only pays tribute to Heesco’s Mongolian heritage, but also that of Chin Langtip, a migrant who moved to Australia in the 1850s and whose descendants still live in the region today.

Not surprisingly, the murals have amassed a great deal of curiosity, which Yarram is already reaping the benefits of – and not just from rubberneckers who pass through.

Ms Twite of the Ship Inn has noticed an increase in overnight stays due to the trail’s interest.

“People actually staying here because that's one of the things they wanted to do – to check all the murals,” Ms Twite said.

Paul Frost and Jody Twite stand with Heesco’s Ship Inn mural.

She also remarked that tourists would only see Yarram as a stop on the way to Wilsons Promontory in the past, whereas now, “it’s not just Wilsons Prom as much anymore.”

Mr Frost adds: “To us, that's what we want to achieve – it’s no longer going to Wilsons Prom, and then coming here to have a look as you're driving through.”

Additionally, the trail isn’t just encouraging tourists to stay in Yarram, but persuading them to extend their stay.

“Most people would stay one or two nights, now they’re staying two or three,” Mr Frost said.

“When they come here and see the murals… they realise we've got Tarra-Bulga just up the road, Ninety Mile Beach just out at Woodside, Port Albert; you've got the Long Jetty at Port Welshpool, Agnes Falls…

“So the murals bring them here, but then there's all the other attractions that keep them here.”

And as further endorsement of its tourist credentials, Yarram recently earned the title of Best Street Art Trail for the second year in a row.

In commenting on the win, the Australian Street Art Awards judges said that they could only, but be impressed by the sheer magnitude of the project.

“There are so many commendable features at play, including the high calibre art, the single-artist focus to create consistency, the QR codes on each mural, through to the trademarking to create a profitable legacy and the committed community,” they said.

Everybody involved with the trail feels a great pride in the achievement, none more so than Heesco himself, who said that it was a great feeling to win again.

“Most artists don’t get an opportunity like this, so I’m very grateful for the response,” Heesco told the Gippsland Times.

“It’s proof that any idea you push and work hard enough can become something.”

There has apparently been talk of more murals in what has been dubbed “Heesco Town”, but the artist’s busy schedule has prevented him from making the journey.

Nonetheless, Heesco is eager to make a return.

“Yarram’s become a home away from home for my family – my kids are excited to see the friends they have there when we come round,” he said.

Whether more murals are added to the town or not, there's no doubt that Heesco and the entire community of Yarram have created something special in this part of the world.

Here's hoping the trail gets the greater attention that it well and truly deserves.

STAFF and volunteers at the Sale Cemetery are hoping to rectify issues pertaining to the upkeep of the graves and lawns.

Presentation of the site is currently being improved after drawing criticism from the public about its unkempt condition.

Sale Cemetery Trust deputy chair Pauline Hitchins said that the organisation is aware of the lawn maintenance issues and has been working with staff to improve the general presentation of the Cemetery.

“The rapid (grass) growth, which everyone has experienced in recent months, has been coupled with downtime on our mowers and equipment,” Ms Hitchins said.

“One replacement mower has been purchased and the Trust has applied for a grant to replace the larger mower.

“Staff have worked overtime to get on top of the issue but, because of the length of the grass, were unable to set the mower on mulch and clippings were thrown onto graves.

“Where possible, blowers and other equipment has been used to remove this.

THE state government said it has stocked Victorian waterways, including in Gippsland with a record 10 million fish over the past year, setting a new nationwide record.

The initiative is part of the state government’s $35 million Go Fishing Victoria plan, funded by recreational fishing licence fees, and includes one million Murray cod and golden perch stocked in Lake Eildon, Lake Eppalock and Rocklands Reservoir.

The Victorian Fisheries Authority grew a majority of the fish at the Snobs Creek hatchery near Eildon and the recently completed Arcadia hatchery on the banks of the Goulburn River near Shepparton.

Of the fish stocked in the past year, 8.1 million were native species such as Murray cod, golden perch, Australian bass, estuary perch and the endangered Macquarie perch.

The remaining 1.9 million were trout and salmon

including rainbow, brown, cheetah and tiger, along with Chinook.

Significant stockings across Gippsland included 35,000 dusky flathead for the Gippsland Lakes, as part of the second year of a three year trial stocking duskies into the lakes and 100,000 Australian bass released into the Mitchell River.

“The stocking of 10 million fish means Victoria’s inland fisheries continue to thrive, aiding in the recovery of threatened species such as trout cod and Macquarie perch,” Fishing Minister Melissa Horne said.

Labor Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said the increased fish stocks would be a boost for the region's tourism.

“Fishing is a major drawcard for people right across Victoria to visit Gippsland – these stockings will mean continued economic support for local businesses across accommodation, restaurants, cafes and fishing supply shops," she said.

Page 8 – Times-Spectator, Tuesday, 3 May, 2022

“Once the lawns were at a reasonable level, mowers were returned to the usual settings.”

Ms Hitchins added that working bees were held

by Trust volunteers over the weekend to help overcome these issues.

Additionally, the Trust recently advertised for a groundskeeper position at the Cemetery, the applications for which are currently being processed.

The actions of the group come after the Gippsland Times received correspondence regarding upkeep of the Cemetery.

In a letter sent to Sale Cemetery Trust on April 25, one local resident described the “disgusting, disturbing” condition of the site, noting that cut grass was obscuring plaques and making them “unreadable.”

The issue has been rectified since said letter was sent, as the Gippsland Times observed when visiting the site last Thursday.

Sale Cemetery Trust in the process of forming a Friends group to help maintain the lawns and gardens at the level they aim to achieve.

Those wanting to join the Friends group can contact the Trust’s secretary on 0409 514 436 or e-mail info@salecemetery.com.au

Pauline’s personal portraits Stefan Bradley PAULINE Bailey is a Melbourne-born visual artist and author based in Glenmaggie.

She has been a practising artist for fifteen years and she has written and self-published three books about the Australian music scene: Blues Portrait – A Profile of the Australian Blues Scene (Volumes 1, 2 and 3).

“I’ve been a music fan for years. I helped a friend in Melbourne publish their autobiography in 2017, and I thought that there may be others who want to tell their story, so I reached out to a few friends in the music industry and asked them if they wanted to do an interview and it grew from there,” Mrs Bailey said.

“I ended up with 130 people over the three books, and Volumes 2 and 3 were released together in November. Due to COVID and all the lockdowns, I kept working and the second book became too big, so I split it into two books and ended up with Volume 2 and Volume 3.”

The cover of Volume 3 was taken at Barry Walker’s home in Stratford. Other local musicians featured in the three volumes include Stuart Anderson from Maffra, Danny Spencer and Paul Buchanan from Stratford, Sandy Clark from Newborough and Anna Scionti from Bairnsdale.

“Some of the legends you may recognise from the books are Chuck Leavell from the Rolling Stones, Ross Wilson, Diesel, Fiona Boyes, Joe Camilleri from The Black Sorrows, Tim Rogers, Mal Eastick, Rob Hirst from Midnight Oil, and Russell Morris,” Mrs Bailey said.

“Volume 1 was released just before the pandemic hit, and it sold out. It’s on its second print now, so it’s been received really, really well. Volume 2 and 3 were also a hit, and a lot of people jumped on board and bought both books.

“I’m also spending a lot of time painting. I recently had an exhibition in Carlton that went really well, so I’m now working towards the next exhibition."

SLEEP SECRETS WITH OLIVIA AREZZOLO Why you keep waking at 3am - and what to do

Sleep expert Olivia Arezzolo.

THE main cause here is stress and high cortisol levels. See, our circadian rhythm directs our cortisol, an awakening hormone, to rise around 3am, in preparation for the next morning.

However, if you cortisol levels are already high, which is a consequence of stress, then it’s likely you will wake up. How to remedy this?

1. If you are awake longer than 20 minutes, get out of bed and go into the lounge 2. Put on blue light blocking glasses 3. Read, journal or meditate 4. Only return to bed when you are just about to fall asleep Olivia Arezzolo recently released her book Bear, Lion or Wolf: How Understanding Your Sleep Type Could Change Your Life.

Crafting for our unsung heroes Tom Parry

Wellington Hobby Crafts is a local organisation that donates its time and profits to the region’s frontline workers. crafters began to do only recently, having previously donated solely to the local hospital.

It’s a move that was championed by Lorraine, who views paramedics as the “first port of call before you even get to the hospital.”

“We’ve all had to have the ambulance for something with somebody,” Lorraine said.

“I know I have.”

The local ambos have already benefitted from the

crafters’ donations, using the money to purchase a heart monitor.

“If people are in a car accident, and they’ve got severe injuries to elsewhere, this machine keeps the heart beating so that they’ve got an extra pair of hands to work on the person that’s been involved in the accident,” Lorraine said of the device.

“I was just rapt over that.”

While Dawn and Lorraine are both not-too-keen

on being photographed, they are always up for a chat, with that latter highlighting the communal nature of their work as a reason they continue with the stall.

“It’s a fantastic social thing – we’ve met so many lovely people in here.”

The Wellington Hobby Crafts stall can be found outside Sanity in the Gippsland Centre on Thursdays and Fridays.

GP1640940

VISIT the Gippsland Centre late in the week, and chances are you’ll find a humble stall selling knitted clothes and other woollen homewares.

This is the stall of Wellington Hobby Crafts, a local organisation that donates its time and profits to the region’s frontline workers.

Most weeks, the stall and its goods are overseen

by Lorraine and Dawn, two dedicated handcrafters and stalwarts of the crafting group.

Lorraine has been part of the group for 10 years, while Dawn has spent 16 years with the group.

Both ladies spend the majority of their time knitting babywear, which draws more sales than any other kind of garment at their stall.

“Because we no longer have a baby shop in Sale, we sell heaps of baby things,” Lorraine told the Gippsland Times.

Among the other items available at the stall are jumpers, shawls, beanies and knitted toys.

Most of the wares are made by a group of six “lady crafters” from Wellington Hobby Crafts, with the occasional item donated by the public.

Although it generates plenty of interest, the amount of people browsing the stall has lowered in recent times, as the ladies note.

“At the moment it’s quite slow,” Lorraine said.

“I think it’s got a lot to do with COVID – there doesn’t seem to be as many people around.”

Dawn concurs, adding: “We used to have bus trips in.”

“A coach would come in with visitors, and they’d go berserk!”

Most people who visit the stall are returning customers, who come from as far afield as Yarram, Traralgon, Bairnsdale and Melbourne to buy goods, and with good reason.

As Lorraine remarked, “there’s nothing like this close to Melbourne.”

It’s not just physical wares that the stall offers either, with the ladies also assisting people with their own knitting, or mending items of clothing for a small payment.

But the money they collect is never for their own benefit, since any and all profits made by the crafters are given to the region’s health services – half to Central Gippsland Health, and the other half to the Sale Ambulance Station.

Contributing to the latter is something the

Lockdown inspires Hamish to find the Flame inside him Stefan Bradley

After learning the craft of mixing music, Hamish now plays under the name DJ Flame.

THE great slowdown in time during pandemic lockdowns were a chance for many of us to take up new or unusual hobbies, from perfecting that delicious cake, reading the classic book we’d always wanted to get around to, or finally creating the amazing vegetable garden we'd always dreamed about.

Gippsland local Hamish Telfer spent his time learning the craft of DJing.

Hamish has since turned his mild interest in mixing music into a successful side-gig, and now juggles his time between studies, employment as a graduate design engineer at Wellington Shire Council and taking to the stage at night and weekends as DJ Flame.

It's all a far cry from his early days of DJing for a handful of friends from the confines of the family home in between lockdowns.

“My brothers and I would set up out front at night and our friends would come over to see what was happening” Hamish said.

“It was in between the lockdowns so we had as many people over that we were allowed to under the restrictions that were in place at the time, and we would show off what we were learning.

“That went on for the better part of these last two years, so I have to give a shout out to my parents and neighbours for all the loud noise during that time!”

Like so many of us, the 22 year-old considered himself time-poor before the pandemic, dividing his time between studying engineering at Monash University, working, playing sports and his role as on-campus resident advisor at Mannix College.

That all changed when the world began to shut down in early 2020 and Hamish suddenly found himself with too much time on his hands and very little to do.

“When we went into our first lockdown, the college closed and university went online so I moved back home,” he said.

“But with everything closed, there was no sport

happening at the time so there was not a lot to do.”

It was then that Hamish, who had been interested in DJing since beginning his studies at Monash, bought his first DJ controller and started playing for friends at home.

When restrictions eased and he moved back onto campus, a friend organised for Hamish to play a house party to a larger crowd.

It was a hit, and from there Hamish began to play across a range of venues and crowds, from popular Melbourne nightspots Billboard and Lucky Coq, to a rewarding fundraising event at Seaspray Surf Life Saving Club in February.

Last month Hamish played between acts, including headliners Thelma Plum and Dallas Woods, as the gap DJ at the All Ages Tour in Sale, organised by Wellington Shire Youth Council.

“At the All Ages, I played the little period between sets. It's where people need a break from the previous set, but then they need the energy to get excited again for the next set, so I played mainly classics just to get people back up on their feet.

“It was a good day to get out into the local community and play, especially between wellknown acts like Dallas Woods and Thelma Plum, who both just had so much energy.”

While he recently bought a MIDI device to record his tracks, he's sticking to live DJing for now.

“It's better with a crowd there, I can play along with whatever the feeling is among the people,” Hamish said.

“I've found I really need the people cheering and the crowds dancing to get me motivated.”

And while he admits he's still developing his own style and has a long way to go, Hamish has some advice to the youth of Wellington Shire thinking of pursuing their interest.

“It's a good idea to take a look at what you're interested in and make sure you can see where it leads - if you can see yourself doing something you love further down the track, just commit to it and put the time into it to get there.”

Region at heart of singer’s show Stefan Bradley

THERE are few, if any, singer-songwriters that have celebrated Gippsland life more through their music than Michael Waugh has.

Mr Waugh was born in Maffra and went to school there, and now works as a high school drama teacher in Melbourne.

“I was useless at the farm, so I moved to Melbourne to help kids achieve their dreams,” Mr Waugh said.

“I’ve got some really loyal fans and followers, but it’s nice to come back to help somebody else with an arts experience, as a teacher working in drama.

“Teaching keeps me engaged with people, and I’m a better teacher because I play music.

“If you do music full-time, it’s all you ever think about it, but when you engage with the community like I do as a teacher, it feels more real. You don’t get an applause when you finish teaching your class for the day.”

For Mr Waugh, it remains a special occasion every time he comes to Gippsland, as his family ties are still here, and his songs contain stories from towns such as Sale, Heyfield, Seaspray and Maffra.

“I get to be seen by my community that I came from when I come to The Wedge, and it’s the same when the kids are on stage at school, because it’s special for the parents,” he told the Gippsland Times.

“My first Golden Guitar nomination was for ‘Heyfield Girl’, and Kasey Chambers gave me a hug at the end of the show.

“The show was televised and it was massive for me, but it’s still an honour to go and play shows for people, and tell stories about people at Gippsland.”

For audiences outside of Gippsland, Mr Waugh’s songs and stories still resonate.

“I was surprised, I didn’t think anyone else outside of Gippsland and Victoria would care, but people see their own lives reflected in these songs, so even if people don’t know where Heyfield is or who my mum is, they recognise a story about mum’s battle with cancer in ‘Heyfield Girl’,” he said.

“Maffra is like every country town across Australia, even if you’ve never been there before, and I think that’s really powerful. The songs resonate with audiences in places like country Queensland or Western Australia. I had people in South Australia tell me they completely get me what I’m talking about.

“So I play the same set in Gippsland as I play everywhere else, but as the songs are about the people there, it resonates louder, because these

One of the songs on Mr Waugh’s latest album The Cast is called ‘Dark’, which is a tribute to the Club Hotel in Sale, informally known as ‘Ringers’, which has now closed down.

“The Ringers nightclub was the place to go on a Saturday night, it had the FIFO workers from Esso, it had tradies and everyone else you can imagine - it was quite a colourful place. I remember Cold Chisel’s ‘Khe Sanh’ and Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Dancing in the Dark’ being played. When you’re in a country town, there’s not much else to do, so you go to Ringers after working hard the whole week.

“You can see in the music video on YouTube we touch on the toxic masculinity at hand there, as you may be having fun there, but it was not so fun for everyone else.”

Mr Waugh’s new album The Cast is out now.

It has received two nominations for the 2022 Golden Guitar Awards - Alt Country Album of the Year and Heritage Song of the Year.

Michael Waugh will be performing at The Wedge on Saturday, May 7.

NOW showing at Gippsland Art Gallery is Overburden, a fascinating exhibition of 18 new artworks by Danny McDonald.

The exhibition explores McDonald’s relationship with his former hometown of Yallourn.

Designed as a garden city in the Latrobe Valley and built between 1920 and 1950, Yallourn housed employees of the State Electricity Commission who operated the nearby power station.

However, the expansion of the adjacent open-cut brown coal mine led to the closure and removal of the town in the 1970s.

Danny McDonald’s drawing series

Overburden represents, in his words, ‘a kind of ‘archaeological’ trench of my past—a personal history mined and a life/identity eventually mediated. The work seeks to honour culture, the scientist, the architect, the engineer and the worker’.

For McDonald, the Overburden title ‘refers to a layering of geophysical and socio-historical debris’. Images draw on the distinctive model house designs, Yallourn’s street map and other archival references to a town that exists chiefly in the memories of its residents.

Overburden is currently on display until June 19, and entry to the gallery is free.

Under the Surface takes shape

by Alfie Hudson, another in Nicholson by local artist Tracey Solomon, and the water tank in Bruthen by Alan Solomon.

Under the Surface follows the route of the former Orbost railway line and passes through a variety of forest and farmland landscapes with snapshot views of the picturesque Gippsland Lakes. The Social Crew has conducted onsite research, engaged key community members and groups, and collaborated with GLaWAC and the East Gippsland Rail Trail Committee to design and curate the project in order to better inform the travelling artists of their subject matter and the land on which they stand.

The project is designed, produced and delivered by The Social Crew, in collaboration with Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation and supported by Commonwealth Government and the Victorian State Government, East Gippsland Shire Council, and the East Gippsland Rail Trail Committee.

This project received grant funding from the federal and state governments.

and community, the visiting artists developed learnings on artistic practices, storytelling, introduction to the local environment and an understanding of land management and preservation.

In turn, visiting artists shared their creative

skills with locals, encouraging confidence in presenting works at a larger scale, with connection to story.

The final result being shared storytelling through public art.

The new work joins existing shelter artworks

Tom Parry ONE of Australia’s most accomplished musicians, Lloyd Spiegel is set to perform at the Bundy Hall this Saturday night.

The Melbourne-based artist will be making a return to the venue after spending the last two years in “virtual hibernation”.

Mr Spiegel believes that there’s “something really special” about the venue.

“I’ve played in a lot of halls but the Live at the Bundy crew have really taken the concept of a regional hall venue to the next level,” Mr Spiegel said.

“It’s got the intimate energy and fun of a hall, but it also has world-class sound and management.

“It’s a ‘must play’ in my book.”

Mr Spiegel specialises as a Blues musician, and is widely renowned for his guitarplaying abilities.

Australian Guitar Player Magazine has labelled him “a guitarist almost without peer”, while venerable publication Rolling Stone called him “an Oz Blues and Rock icon.”

Although he usually takes to the stage alone, on this occasion Mr Spiegel will be performing alongside two other musicians, one being regular collaborator Tim Burnham on drums.

“Tim and I have been working together on and off for about a decade, and knew each other and jammed many years before that,” Mr Spiegel said.

“He did the hardest years on the road with me and from that comes a musician connection that almost feels like we are communicating via ESP or something.

“I know he’s in-step with me at all times.”

The other performer at his side will be Lisa Baird – who also happens to be his partner – playing trombone.

“I’ve wanted (Lisa) as part of

the full-time line-up for a long time and the lockdowns gave us time to make that work,” Mr Spiegel said.

“Lisa adds a layer to the show that I could never have supplied.

“Her approach to music is different to mine and the excitement of this new show is based on both of us being challenged.”

The result is an eclectic combination of sounds, and one that the blues maestro is “really excited” to be performing in.

“It’s been years since I played as more than a solo or duo, and the extra punch this new line-up delivers is the missing element I didn’t even really know I was looking for,” Mr Spiegel said.

“It’s unique, being that it’s guitar, drums and trombone and it’s by far the best I have ever felt on stage.”

Downward trend in stock losses COORDINATED community control programs, producer input into local planning and public land controls have contributed to a downward trend in wild dog predation in Victoria.

Operations Manager for Hume and Mallee regions Craig Hamilton outlined the trend on a webinar hosted by Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) Wild Dog program.

Mr Hamilton said the wild dog program performs control work in response to incident reports for livestock killed, maimed or harassed by wild dogs across 16 wild dog management zones in eastern and western Victoria.

The trend in incident reports since 2014 has been downwards, reducing by more than half.

“This year so far in response to 303 farmer related incident reports, the wild dog program established

2323 bait stations and replaced 4648 baits over 1450km, with a further 700km to be completed by the end of the financial year,” he said.

“Wild dog controllers have established 1919 trap sets, and checked those trap sets 12,659 times, and have helped facilitate the protection of farmland through community wild dog control.”

Mr Hamilton said the downward trend in incident reports had been achieved through strong collaboration with landholders and community groups, successful community baiting programs, aerial baiting program, improved technology in pest exclusion fencing and expansion of exclusion fencing networks.

“The aerial baiting program is conducted only in areas where ground access is difficult and where there is a high number of livestock losses and farm related incident reports," he said.

“This year there were 3731 baits laid over a series of transects totalling 425km.

The aerial baiting program is conducted in autumn and spring.”

Australian Wool Innovation Community Wild Dog Control Coordinator for East Gippsland Mick Freeman, said 102 landholders were supported by community wild dog coordinators across 72,600ha of private land with 13,252 baits in 2021.

Mr Freeman said a suite of community fact sheets had been developed on foxes and wild dogs providing land managers with contact points for assistance, available support, ground baiting tips, managing predators post-bushfires and guardian animals.

He said vertebrate pest management workshops on wild dogs, foxes and feral pigs are planned for Tubbut, Buchan, Mansfield and Cudgewa.

According to Anthony Websdale, senior wild dog controller, Bairnsdale, baiting programs should be pencilled in on the calendar just like shearing or summer drenching programs.

Mr Websdale said a financial gain of $14,000 was achievable in a scenario based on 1000 first cross ewes to achieve a seven per cent increase in lambing (70 lambs) valued at $200 per head through best practice ground baiting.

“The cost of a 10-week baiting program with 70 meat baits per run (every two weeks) is an estimated $1575 and your time,” he said.

“With baiting, it’s not just lambing percentages but wild dogs and foxes can carry some diseases causing foetal abortions in livestock.”

Industry to come together for GippsDairy Muster

GIPPSDAIRY Muster, to be held on Thursday, May 5, will bring together farmers and industry stakeholders to discuss the latest in dairy farming innovation and technology.

The event, hosted by dairy farmers Jon Ryan and Lauren Clyne on their Denison property in the Macalister Irrigation District, will feature a number of informative speakers, including: · Irish management consultant Dr Nollaig Heffernan, who will reveal the secret to winning the war on talent; · University of Melbourne’s Prof Richard Eckard, who researches carbon farming and accounting towards carbon neutral agriculture; and; · Antarctic researcher Rachael Robertson, who will speak about building and leading high-performing, resilient teams The day will offer plenty of networking opportunities, as well as breakout stations where attendees can learn about nitrogen fixing innovations, automatic milking systems, recruiting and rewarding staff, dairy genomics and more.

Dairy farmers with experience in each particular area will help lead the conversations at the breakout stations.

The event will conclude with an optional farm walk.

GippsDairy’s executive officer Karen McLennan said the event is the first of its kind for the region.

National Farmers Federation president Fiona Simson.

NFF and VFF put agriculture on election agenda AUSTRALIA’S peak farming body has unveiled a set of challenges to all major parties heading into this month’s federal election.

The National Farmers Federation has released its list of election priorities which is making the case for five key actions.

The actions include establishing 20 regional development precincts to plan for sustainable growth, supported by $4.1 billion for precincts and freight supply chains.

The NFF is also asking for the federal government to create a $2 billion fund to reward land managers

who improve the health of their landscape.

The NFF wants to establish a $5 billion Rural Telecommunications Fund to improve connectivity in remote areas.

It also includes fast tracking Ag Visa discussions with 10 partner nations, and to attract and train more Australian workers.

The last point is calling as for reforming competition laws to protect farmers from unfair practices.

NFF president Fiona Simson said the plan was ambitious but “deservedly so”, with the regions accounting for 40 per cent of the nation’s total economic output.

“This election, parties seeking to hold office must do more than provide lip service to those outside city bounds,” Ms Simson said.

“They must commit to delivering on the priorities identified by the NFF and our members.”

Meanwhile the NFF Horticulture Council has also released its top priorities, which include implementing a fully operational Ag Visa, and a National Labour Hire Licencing Scheme.

It also wants a biosecurity imports levy, as well as to extend the asset write off, and to develop a strategic investment plan for regional accommodation.

Labor had already stated it would replace the agriculture visa that was announced by the federal

government last year and instead offer more incentives for workers from the Pacific.

It comes as the NFF had been advocated for an Ag Visa for more than five years to cater for workers further afield than the Pacific.

“Farmers would always prefer to employ Australians but the reality is, for the foreseeable future, agriculture will rely on a combination of domestic and international workers,” NFF chief executive Tony Mahar said.

But Victorian Farmers Federation President and Mirboo North veggie grower Emma Germano said there needed to be a more coordinated and state-wide approach to attract workers to small towns.

“You can’t attract people to work in regional Victoria if there are no houses for them to live in,” Ms Germano said.

“The critical shortage of housing across our communities is having a huge impact on the ability to bring people into the country.

“It’s affecting every rural industry, and in agriculture it’s impacting our ability to bring in highly skilled and unskilled workers. It also limits the services our communities need like healthcare.”

Australian dairy industry set for profitable season Rabobank senior dairy analyst Michael Harvey.

Photo: Contributed

AUSTRALIA’S dairy producers are set for another profitable season ahead – with record high milk pricing and favourable seasonable conditions – but risks are building, according to Rabobank in its just-released Australian Dairy 2022/23 Seasonal Outlook.

The report, titled ‘Be Confident, but Beware’, says while global dairy market “fundamentals” remain currently strong and high local milk prices will support profitability, farmer margins are under pressure from increasing costs.

Meanwhile a market correction is on the horizon, as a “subtle rebalance in global markets occurs”, while “turbulence” also “looms large with continuing impacts from seismic global events”.

However, the report says, “a soft landing in global markets and a strong currency will still support record milk pricing in 2022/23”, with Rabobank forecasting an indicative milk price of AUD 8.40/ kgMS for southern Australia.

This would be a record price and 15 per cent higher than benchmark milk prices for the 2021/22 season, writes the report’s author, Rabobank senior dairy analyst Michael Harvey.

“The global dairy commodity market is doing the heavy lifting in propelling farmgate milk prices to record levels. As a result, Australia’s southern (dairy) export region enjoyed record milk pricing in the 2021/22 season, with new records on the horizon for 2022/23,” Mr Harvey said.

Commodity prices for Oceania-origin butter and cheese are trading at record levels and the milk powder complex is nearing record highs, he said.

Global dairy markets are in “unchartered territory”, Mr Harvey said, with global market tightness driven by a “complete shutdown in milk supply growth across the ‘export engine’”.

“Global dairy markets are witnessing a rare event, with the ‘Big 7’ dairy exporters (the EU, US, New Zealand, Australia, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay) all recording lower milk production this year than last,” he said.

“This supply crunch has primarily been driven by a combination of rising costs, supply chain disruptions and weather-related impacts.”

“Oil prices have been extremely volatile this year.

While the 22-cent cut to the fuel excise tax has brought petrol back to similar levels to those before Russia invaded Ukraine, diesel remains elevated.

“In any case, agricultural producers are generally not subject to excise, so continue to face fuel cost pressures.”

Mr Ziebell said commodity prices remain generally very elevated, although dairy, cattle and sheep have recently eased, albeit from record or near-record levels.

“Autumn rain across many production regions has provided a welcome boost for many farmers, easing concerns around winter crop establishment,” Mr Ziebell said.

“Global grain prices have skyrocketed in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but underlying factors were already pushing up prices before this.

“Three key reasons for price growth are mixed

global production, notably in the Americas, unevenly distributed stocks, with China holding around half the world’s wheat stocks, and rising input costs.

“Volatility remains high, and it is hard to predict where the wheat market will go, especially given continued uncertainty in Russia and Ukraine, which combined account for 25-30 per cent of global wheat exports.

“Canola prices are now almost back to the peaks we saw in late 2021. Last week, Indonesia announced a ban on palm oil exports, which is likely to put further upside on prices.”

Looking ahead, Mr Ziebell said NAB expected the Reserve Bank of Australia would raise the cash rate.

“We see further upward pressure for the Australian Dollar and expect it to hit US80 cents later this year,” Mr Ziebell said.

DESPITE good seasonal conditions in many areas and high commodity prices, the NAB Rural Commodities Index is on track for a drop of roughly 1.5 per cent in April, its first decline since March 2021.

NAB’s April Rural Commodities Wrap released last week reports mounting inflationary pressures and rising input costs continue to present challenges for global agriculture.

NAB Agribusiness senior economist Phin Ziebell said fertiliser and fuel costs remain the key areas of concern for Australian producers, although labour costs continue to see upward pressure.

“Overall, our fertiliser index was up another 25.5 per cent in March, to almost double its level just one year ago. April has shown some tentative signs that diammonium phosphate (DAP) and urea are flattening out on global markets, but we do not expect much downside this year,” Mr Ziebell said.

In Memoriam

ROUND 6 of the Latrobe Valley Soccer League could go down as league-defining come the end of the year, with Falcons moving to the top of the table after downing Churchill while Newborough/ Yallourn caused the upset of the round by beating Moe United in their local derby.

Fortuna 60 was equally impressive beating previously undefeated Morwell rivals Morwell Pegasus while there was wins for Sale United and Monash.

SALE v EAST GIPPSLAND SALE’S match against East Gippsland brought great rewards as the Swans tried to get back in form after their trouncing at Falcons last week.

The 5-1 victory over the Eagles was full of merit with Isaak Jondahi scoring a brace, his second for the season, Cooper Coleman also scored twice with Callum Campbell rounding out the scorers.

The game was made harder for the Eagles as they finished with only 10 players.

East Gippsland remain winless this season while the win for Sale sees them jump to sixth place.

CHURCHILL v FALCONS 2000 FALCONS claimed top position on the ladder after their hard fought win over a tenacious Churchill who pushed the Morwell side all the way on a difficult surface.

Churchill was competitive in the first half keeping Falcons scoreless after the Birds had the bulk of possession. Churchill keeper Glen McColl was under pressure by a constant barrage of shots at goal as Falcons kept attacking but Churchill was resolute in their defence.

The Rams almost took the lead midway through the term when Charles Simon had to stretch to keep out a long range bomb forcing the ball wide.

If the game had finished at half time at 0-0 then Churchill would have been pleased with their efforts but after the break Falcons proved too strong and showed why they are still undefeated this season.

On the 55 minute mark some exceptional interplay on the left hand wing brought about a sumptuous cross for

in-form striker Nona Lazaris to expertly drive the ball home from 15 yards out into the bottom corner to settle the nerves of the away side. To Churchill’s credit they continued to fight and harass but were only able to manufacture one chance in the half which saw them sky the ball over Simon’s goal.

As the game entered its final stages the high fitness levels of the Morwell side came to the fore and striker Jamie Pistrin helped himself to a late brace to put the result beyond doubt at 3-0.

MOE v NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN NEWBOROUGH/YALLOURN, who have had a stop-start campaign thus far, now have the bragging rights of the traditional derby thanks to a hard earned win over crosstown rivals Moe. The Combine flew out of the blocks to be up by two goals at half time. After the break Moe was still not on the board as Newborough increased their lead to 3-0 with still half an hour to play.

The Devils got one back seven minutes later, but Newborough/Yallourn was determined to win and subsequently scored again only four minutes later but it was goal for goal as Moe replied but in the end it was to no avail as the home side took the points with a 4-2 win to hand Moe their third loss of the season and seemingly out of touch in the fight for the league title at this point in time.

Many thought Newborough/Yallourn would be out of the league title picture after some off-season recruitment issues but they have been extremely resolute and find themselves only six points off top spot with a game in hand.

PEGASUS v FORTUNA A TANTALISING all-Morwell fixture played out on Sunday with Fortuna upsetting the more fancied Pegasus on their own turf.

Pegasus, with five wins from five, were expected to win what was billed as a tight contest, however they now find themselves out of top place and in turn the Orangement firmly inserted themselves into the league title race.

Fortuna showed good signs early and by the break were one up on Pegasus with Hayden Tanti scoring with a bullet that beat Santo Simon.

Simon was in stunning form saving a number of guilt-edged opportunities and his side solely had him to thank for keeping them in the contest.

There was plenty of action on field as Pegasus tried to make up lost ground but Fortuna was defensively strong.

Fortuna custodian John Beamer was called into action at least four times in the second half as Pegasus tried to level the score.

Players were going down like nine pins as the on field activities saw some very tough tackles.

Fortuna was sitting on their slender lead well into the term when a Kuku Mahmoud shot shaved the top bar which saw Fortuna clear from defence upfield where Ollie Spiteri was lurking and he beat the keeper on a one-on-one to give Fortuna a 2-0 lead.

With time running out Pegasus, with the last throw of the dice, was able to claw a goal back to ensure a nervous end to the match but it was a case of too little too late as Fortuna took the match 2-1 for Pegasus’ first defeat of the season.

Fortuna’s victory, along with other results, sees them move up to third position with a game on hand. Pegasus will have to quickly shake off the defeat as they host a plucky Churchill side this weekend.

MONASH v TRARALGON MONASH won their first match of the season with a comfortable 4-1 win over Traralgon City, their fourth in a row over the Roosters.

Monash scored first through Jarrod Baldacchino beating Traralgon’s new ‘keeper Mason Loprese but the Roosters got one back just before the interval.

The ever-present goalsneak Braden Paulet put the Wolves ahead just after the break then Broden Grover scored his fourth goal in three matches to give Monash a 3-1 buffer.

After a corner kick a goal mouth scramble esued in Traralgon’s attacking end which saw the ball deflect into the net.

Adam Semple’s shot from 20 metres out was fumbled by the keeper and Paulet seized the opportunity to score his second to give the Wolves a 4-2 victory. The win sees Monash up to equal seventh while Traralgon City find themselves in eighth.

Mixed fortunes in the first round of season GIPPSLAND FC had the first game of the National Premier Leagues season on the weekend.

Under-15 THE opening match saw a similar result to those suffered in the qualifying rounds with Gippsland going down 4-1 to Kingston City.

Kingston had done their homework on the GFC, they quick to lockdown Gippsland’s potential match winners and engaged in a very assertive game plan.

Kingston scored in the second minute of the match with a decisive goal.

Gippsland managed to hold sway through the rest of the first half, however Kingston remained in the ascendency.

After a few positional moves at half-time, it was hoped the Gippsland boys would show a bit more fight, however Kingston held firm, piling on three more goals.

Henry Wynne was able to grab a consolation goal for Gippsland near the end of the match.

Not the start to the regular season Gippsland wanted, there will be plenty of soul search at Latrobe City Stadium this week at training.

Angus Dempsey was the GFC player of the match, working hard at left back, Luca Dicorleto persevered, as did Hamish Gleeson in midfield.

Noah Jackson and Spencer Boughton brought more fight to the backline in the second half.

Under-16

GIPPSLAND’S Under-16 team travelled to Mornington.

Without a win and having drawn with Mornington in the pre-qualification rounds, the boys were determined to begin the season on a positive note.

Both teams had numerous shots on goal in the first-half, without any going into the back of the net.

To win the boys would need to work hard for the entire 80 minutes. GFC began to control the play in the second half.

They worked hard to chase the ball and defended fiercely.

Abraham Konyi and Levi Colantuono controlled the ball through the centre, while Brodie Neave locked down Mornington’s key forward. Harry Humphreys made runs forward to receive the ball on several occasions.

In the 75th minute, Brody Demagistris passed the ball to Lucus Vick, who then put it in the box for Harry Humphreys to tap in.

Gippsland took home the three points, winning 1-0.

Under-18 THE Under-18 boys made the journey down the M1 to take on Kingston City.

Gippsland started brightly, but the home side withstood the early challenge and started to gain control of the game, hitting the upright three times in quick succession.

Those warnings weren’t heeded and soon after the home team scored two quality goals as Gippsland FC started to struggle with the pressure.

Half-time couldn’t have come soon enough for Gippsland FC as it gave them time to regroup.

Brodyn Taylor was working hard as was Campbell Dastey, but the Gippsland FC team were caught out on the break as the home team scored their third.

Harry Tosch would battle his way through a number of defenders and pull a goal back giving Gippsland FC some hope.

But it was the lone highlight as Kingston City added three more goals to score a commanding 6-1 win.

Under-13 THE Under-13 played their first home game for the season against Dandenong Thunder.

After a win away to Brighton the previous week, the boys were keen to put in a good performance.

Thunder managed to take the lead in the 10th minute however the local boys responded a minute later with a well taken finish from Henry Knight after some good work down the left from Zack Semmens.

The sides went in at the break level at 1-1. Gippsland were unable to convert in the second half and Dandenong proved better at taking the goal scoring opportunities that presented and ran out 3-1 winners.

Swans square the ledger in top style Liam Durkin

STRATFORD took its ledger to 2-2 in Round 4 of East Gippsland football.

The Swans broke away from Lakes Entrance after half-time to win 9.13 (67) to 4.12 (36).

In what was an important match in the context of the Swans season, the result means they remain among a logjam of teams occupying places three to six on the competition ladder.

Stratford is fifth, but only a smallish percentage off third and with some very winnable games coming up in the next three weeks, could find itself among the top sides.

The win on the road last Saturday would have given Stratford a great deal of confidence, as Lakes Entrance looked to be one of the big improvers in East Gippsland football.

The drive back along the Princes Highway would have been filled with positivity for the Swans, given there is an undeniable sense of achievement winning at a venue some distance from home.

Stratford dominated the match in the first quarter, and had nine scoring shots to one on the board when time was called.

With an obvious scoring end, the Seagulls

then had a go kicking with the advantage, and added seven scoring shots to one.

While the home side had no trouble getting the ball inside 50, it was only able to score one goal from its seven scoring shots, meaning Stratford was able to hold sway at the main break.

The Swans then came out and put the game to rest after half-time.

Stratford added five goals and kept Lakes Entrance scoreless to take a 48-point lead into the last.

The Seagulls made some effort to eat into the margin, but the Swans were able to hold firm and run out the clock to record a comfortable 31-point victory.

Rod O’Keefe returned to his goalkicking ways, nabbing four, while Mitch Hawkins, Jesse Broadbent, Andrew Scott, Tim Hector and Will White were prominent.

Best for Lakes Entrance was Liam Carroll, Sam Nickless, Angus McKenzie, Joel Campbell, James Gibbs and Jake Fisher.

WHEN is that first win coming for Boisdale-Briagolong?

The Bombers are still yet to get on the board this season, after losing to Lucknow 15.24 (114) to 9.3 (57).

Boisdale-Briagolong started well enough

in the first quarter at home, trailing by just 10 points, and only 16 points when teams went into the sheds, but faded badly when they took up their positions again.

In the second-half, the Magpies kicked eight goals to three, stretching their lead as the match went on, and only denying themselves a greater victory due to inaccurate goal kicking.

The scoreboard may well have flattered the Bombers as Lucknow had 39 scoring shots to 12 in the finish.

Tyson Daly, Gus Leemon, Andrew Quirk, Billy Marshall, Callan Egan and Matthew Wilkinson battled hard in a losing cause.

Best for Lucknow was Josh Carroll, Dion Grace, Brendan Flinn, Damian Hodder, Dallas Smith and Steve Bertino.

While it is still early in the season, there are surely worrying signs for BoisdaleBriagolong, who need to get a wriggle on or else risk playing catch-up football with the other teams this season.

OTHER results saw Lindenow defeat a determined Paynesville 10.11 (71) to 6.10 (46) while Wy Yung gave its percentage a decent boost, smashing Orbost Snowy Rovers 21.21 (147) to 5.3 (33).

Eagles defeat Magpies IN the netball instalment of Battle of the Birds, Maffra was too strong for Sale, winning 42 to 27.

Taking some sort of home court advantage, the Eagles bounced back from their loss to Moe last week to enjoy better success this time around.

Matches were played indoors at Cameron Sporting Complex owning to the reconstruction of courts at Maffra Recreation Reserve.

Jaz Schellen was voted best on court, along with Abbey Pleydell who took out the Pam Birss Memorial Medal.

Rach Ronaldson and Katy Troughton played well for Sale.

Morwell remains unbeaten after four rounds of Gippsland League netball.

The Tigers latest victim was Warragul, who they defeated 38 to 30.

The visiting Guls took it right up to the Tigers in what was a margin that surprised a lot of people.

Warragul netballers, much to their credit, have put in honest performances this season amid the great inconvenience of needing to play off-site as their Western Park facility is still being upgraded.

Those who have played for sporting teams unable to play at their actual home ground will attest to how much of a hassle it can be, with not just the on-field or on-court action taking a hit.

Moe and Traralgon played out an equally good game.

The Lions prevailed by 10 goals 57 to 47 at Ted Summerton Reserve.

The win made it back-to-back wins for Moe and also went some way to the club winning the inaugural Riley Pearce Cup that was being played for in the name of mental health between the two clubs.

Goal attack Georgia Moody was best on court, followed by Macy Gardiner and Laini Galea.

Traralgon is still yet to get off the mark in 2022, although in fairness has played four teams expected to be finals bound in Leongatha, Drouin, Morwell and Moe. This tough draw should give the Maroons a battle hardened edge for their upcoming games, and their match against Warragul this Saturday looms as very much season defining.

Drouin won a close encounter against Wonthaggi, getting the points 44 to 38 at home, while Leongatha thumped Bairnsdale 68 to 28 at home as well.

WOODSIDE is the only unbeaten team in North Gippsland netball.

The Wildcats are four from four, and hold a one game lead over neighbouring rival Yarram on the competition ladder.

Woodside played a competitive match against Glengarry last weekend, and did enough to win 57 to 54.

Heading into the game with top spot up for grabs, the contest did not disappoint, as teams

traded momentum throughout the match. Yarram consolidated its place in the top three after recording a 47 to 36 win over Sale City.

The Demons bounced back strongly from their defeat to Woodside last round and handed the Bulldogs their first loss for the season.

Yallourn Yallourn North got on the winners list with a 41 to 36 victory over Gormandale.

The victory was welcomed for the Jets who faced a danger game against the Tigers brimming with confidence following a win the week prior.

Samira Heffernan collected the plaudits for best on court, followed by Paige Roberts who played a great game.

Rosedale got back to business with a commanding win over Heyfield.

The Blues were rarely challenged and took control of proceedings from the get-go, eventually winning 47 to 16.

Cowwarr won their second match for the season, accounting for TTU in a two goal thriller.

The Saints had their noses in front when it mattered most, winning 44 to 42.

Cowwarr is now sixth on the ladder, equal on points with fourth placed Churchill who had the bye.

IN EAST Gippsland netball, Boisdale-Briagolong had a big win over Lucknow 61 to 48 to keep its winning streak alive.

Stratford lost to Lakes Entrance 51 to 36 and sits in a bit of a wobbly position at 1-3 after four rounds.

MARGINS provided the biggest talking point as results from Round 4 of the Gippsland League came to hand last Saturday.

While the season is still in what one might term the ‘establishment phase’, results so far have meant there is no shortage of questions to keep the heads of those with an interest in the competition spinning.

There cannot be many questions surrounding one particular team however, as, scarily, Leongatha might be even better than most people expected.

SALE won the traditional Battle of the Birds clash against Maffra.

The Magpies swooped into the Eagles nest and flew away with the four points, winning a hard-fought game 11.8 (74) to 8.8 (56).

As with most contests between Sale and Maffra, a genuine war of attrition played out until such time one side found a chink in their opponents armour.

For Sale, that came during the third quarter, where they were able to add five goals to one to take an 18-point lead heading into the last.

This margin was exactly the same when the final siren sounded.

The Magpies made the early running at Maffra Recreation Reserve, scoring 4.2 (26) to 2.2 (14) to open proceedings.

Maffra hit back and took the lead, heading into half time six points the better.

As the match unfolded it was arguably Sale’s class around the ball that had the biggest say in the result.

The Magpies scored 7.6 (48) from stoppages to go with 45 clearances to 31, while conversely, Maffra only managed 3.2 (20) from stoppage.

Sale also won the centre clearance count 12-7 as prime mover Shannen Lange got busy with 32 disposals.

Amazingly, Lange had 14 clearances alone working in tandem with Kane Martin who recorded 19 disposals.

Ryan Pendlebury returned for the Magpies following a cameo appearance in the Goulburn Valley and had 17 touches in the first half.

Pendlebury was on track to crack the magical 40, but went off injured just before half-time.

Both sides had similar numbers inside 50, with Sale winning the count by two 46-44, and both teams took 14 contested marks.

The Eagles had more marks overall than the Magpies (71-61) but Sale did a good job making sure only 10 of these were taken inside attacking 50.

Jack Leslie was best for the Magpies, followed by Lange, Will Leslie, Jack McLaren (25 disposals), Jack McLindin and Nathan Whitford.

Sale assistant coach Daniel Sandeman said the match lived up to traditional rival billing.

“As always, super-tough contest, Maffra/ Sale doesn’t matter where we are on the ladder and today was no exception,” he said.

“We got off to a really good start, their second quarter came back and hit the lead but to our guys credit in the third quarter we really turned the tables.

“Johnno (coach Jack Johnstone) asked them to lift, had a few blokes go down throughout the game, for all our boys to stand up, particularly our back line being so young, just to stand up the way they did was awesome.”

Hudson Holmes had 34 touches in a best on ground display for Maffra. Others to play well were Ed Carr (22), Kade Renooy (19), Tom Thatcher, Danny Butcher and John Butcher who kicked four goals.

The result means Maffra and Sale sit next to each other on the ladder with two wins and two losses. The Magpies have won their last two games, and the Eagles have endured the complete opposite.

MOE was saved by the bell against Traralgon.

The Lions held on for dear life to win by a point 8.8 (56) to 7.13 (55).

In a bruising affair at Ted Summerton Reserve, an old fashioned grind ensued between the two rival clubs.

The game had feelings of a soccer-match such was the low scoring nature, and for a long while in the final term a draw looked very much on the cards.

The Maroons peppered the goals in the last quarter, but had to lament having 20 scoring shots to 16 in the finish.

While the parochial Moe Can Bar was more than happy to declare ‘the only thing better than beating Traralgon is beating them by a point’, even those most staunchly aligned to the Lions would have to admit their team was very lucky to escape with the win.

The Moe players appeared to know this as well, and their reaction at the final siren was one more of relief than jubilation.

MAFFRA v SALE MATCH STATISTICS

by Paul Carter

Brad Dessent kicks the sealing goal for Sale with a snap against Maffra. Photo: Sam Crothers Traralgon showcased its hybrid ability, throwing usual defender Tye Hourigan forward and key forward Dylan Loprese up the other end.

Hourigan took a few nice grabs inside 50 and kicked a classy goal from deep in the pocket during the third.

The ball lived in Traralgon’s half for most of the final quarter. The Maroons played a high press in an effort to condense the ball, and looked prepared to win ugly even if it meant repeatedly pumping the ball inside 50 to try and manufacture something.

A one handed mark from key forward Brett Eddy deep in the pocket on the outdoor cricket nets side proved to be the last genuine opportunity the Maroons had of scoring.

The kick from Eddy was sent to the hotspot, where Traralgon players tried in vain to force it through to even salvage a draw, but the siren sounded a short time later.

At the risk of delving into clichés, it was simply poor conversion that cost Traralgon, a thought shared by their coach Jake Best after the game.

While Moe slammed on five goals to one in the first quarter to take an 18-point lead, the Maroons still had seven scoring shots but only managed 1.6 (12).

Truthfully, the Maroons dominated most of the game after quarter time, with their fleet-of-foot system appearing to be well up and running during the third term.

Best for Traralgon was Hourigan, followed

by Tom Schneider, Mark Collison, Tate Marsh, Tom McMahon and Matt Northe.

Declan Keilty was judged best for Moe, while Ben Daniher, Harry Pepper (five goals), Trent Baldi, Ben Morrow, Jacob Wood and Harri Sim played well.

If there is any silver lining to losing a match by a point, it could be that there is an ending to the misconception that Traralgon is solely an uncontested team.

For whatever reason this stigma has been attached to the Maroons for a long time, but under Best there is a definite hard edge about how they play their football.

Although they sit 2-2, Traralgon players should be confident their system can match it with anyone in the competition, especially considering those two losses have been by seven points and now one point - the former of which was against Leongatha.

For Moe, the response after the match would have been more pleasing than the match itself to coaching staff and supporters.

There was no carry on from the Lions in the rooms which could be viewed as a sign of maturity. If Moe had of beaten Traralgon by a point five years ago they would have celebrated until the sun came up.

Incidentally, it was the closest match between the two sides since Traralgon’s one point win over Moe in the 1972 grand final.

MORWELL had a commendable win over Warragul.

The Tigers put together a consistent fourquarter effort to defeat the Gulls by 53-points 11.18 (84) to 4.7 (31).

Playing at home for the third week in a row, Morwell established a handy 14 point lead in the second term, which it was able to build on from there.

The Tigers led at every change, and broke the game open in the third kicking five goals to one.

Such a performance would have been pleasing to coaches Denis Knight and Boyd Bailey, as the young team took facets of what had served them well in patches the previous week against Traralgon and put it all together six days later.

Brandon McAuliffe was best on ground for the home side, while Tyler Brown, Burkeley Macfarlane, Dan Musil, Cohen Campbell and Riley Loprese found themselves in the thick of the action.

Inside 50: Maffra 44, Sale 46 Clearances: Maffra 31, Sale 45 Centre clearances: Maffra 7, Sale 12 Marks: Maffra 71, Sale 61 Contested marks: 14 each.

Sale: Shannen Lange 32 disposals and 14 clearances, Jack McLaren 25, Jayden Allison 24, Kane Martin 19, Ryan Pendlebury 17 (to half-time)

Brandon McDonald kicked three goals for the victors, and was one of seven players to hit the scoreboard.

Best for Warragul was Nick Graham, Sean Masterson, Sam Whibley, Jed Lamb and Lane Ward.

LEONGATHA made at least one journalist double check the scores to make sure they were entered correctly after seeing them for the first time.

The Parrots did in fact kick 31.24 (210) to 4.1 (25) against Bairnsdale on their way to a 185-point annihilation.

The margin was the equal highest for Round 4 in Gippsland League history.

Oddly enough, the Parrots now hold the record for the greatest winning and losing margin in Round 4 of the Gippsland League having lost to Sale by 185 points in 2006.

On that occasion, the Magpies kicked 33.27 (225) to 6.4 (40).

It is unlikely anyone 16 years ago would have thought a worldwide pandemic would ever take out an entire football team, but unfortunately for the Redlegs, that is precisely what happened.

Bairnsdale was unable to field a reserves team for the trip to Leongatha, and as a result, had to take a severely depleted senior line-up into the main game.

The Parrots showed no mercy, and after an innocuous start, crucified the Redlegs with nine goals in the second quarter and 14 in the last.

Leongatha had 14 individual goal kickers, led by Justin Pellicano who nabbed six and Aaron Hillberg and Jack Hume who each kicked four.

Pellicano was best on ground, followed by Luke Bowman, Tom Marriott, Aaron Turton, Steve Forrester and Cade Maskell.

Kieran Vickery, Byron Vickery and Randall Stewart battled hard for Bairnsdale.

While some might question the purpose of a team winning by so much, such ruthlessness is often required to stay at the top.

Just think of the Australian Test cricket team in the early 2000s, they never took it easy on Bangladesh or Zimbabwe.

Perhaps that is why Leongatha has been so successful in recent years - they are not here to make friends.

WONTHAGGI easily accounted for Drouin.

The Power did as most expected, winning 16.16 (112) to 7.3 (45) away from home.

The Hawks took it up to Wonthaggi in the first quarter, but could only hold on for so long before the dam wall opened.

Jack Hutchinson was best in the win, and received good support from Jakeb Thomas, Jack Blair, Aiden Lindsay, Jye Gilmour and Toma Huther.

Best for Drouin was Jarrod Marshall, Jordan Kingi, Tim Hancock, Harry Wans, Aden Quirk and Joseph Collins.

Power coach Jarryd Blair did not play for the second week in a row.

Although Wonthaggi sits outright third on the ladder with one loss to its name, there is already a feeling among Gippsland League pundits the Power have been perhaps a touch underwhelming in the early part of the season.

Granted there is still a lot of football to go, and as ridiculous as it probably sounds, those trawling through the Gippsland League record would have noticed Wonthaggi did not submit any club notes last week.

While it might seem trivial and of no great consequence on the surface, it is one of those jobs you can be sure a club like Leongatha or Maffra would have filled every single week.

The most successful clubs are usually the most organised in every department.

Jets fly to top spot in North Gippsland Scott Berechree

COURTESY of Churchill having the bye and their 173-point demolition of a hapless Gormandale last week, the Jets of Yallourn Yallourn North have taken up residence in the North Gippsland Football-Netball League penthouse.

As much as there is a rush to check the goal kickers list to see who kicked how many when a side wins by such a margin the hidden gem among the big score in Round 4 was perhaps that the league leaders kept their opponents scoreless across three quarters of footy.

Having placed 1.2 (8) against Gormandale’s name in the first quarter whoever was in charge of that half of the scoreboard on Saturday could have broken out the banana lounge and cocktails after the first break as that’s where the home side’s score remained until the final siren.

In contrast YYN piled on 21.25 (151) across the last three terms to run away with a percentage boosting victory 25.31 (181) to 1.2 (8).

Jets president, and man of the people, Evan Sheekey however lauded the Gormandale boys when speaking in the post-game.

He was taken by the Tigers attitude that saw YYN’s 25th major as hard to come by as their first.

He said he couldn’t believe the Gormandale defenders simply kept plugging away despite the odds in a sign that while the scores might not have gone the Tigers way since Round 1 the endeavour and effort remains.

In addition to the obvious, Dean MacDonald’s bag of seven majors and Dylan Bath’s best on ground performance, Sheekey was also full of praise for youngster Lachlan Fry who bagged a pair of goals in his first senior game.

Sheekey was also effusive in his acknowledgement of the return of James De Virgilio.

De Virgilio played his first game Saturday after a full shoulder reconstruction ended his season early last year. DV, as he is known, found enough of the ball to suggest a return to full form is imminent.

IN a round of lop-sided results the closest clash was between Yarram and Sale City.

Yarram was coming off a win in their local derby over Woodside last week while Sale City made the trip to the home of the Demons coming off a pair of wins from their only two games of the season so far.

The scene was set for a titanic tussle and that’s what those in attendance saw as Yarram won 8.9 (57) to 6.7 (43).

Somewhat encumbered by the after effects of a curiously timed Friday night wedding Yarram managed to notch a 14-point win over a young Bulldogs line-up that was missing their boom recruit Dr Sam Davidson.

In his absence, the tri-colours shared the goal kicking responsibilities with Riley Boyle, Jaxsyn Whitehill, Mitchell Evans and Lachlan Carman kicking singles while Jia Nelson slotted two.

Up against a Yarram side that included the returning Boadie Motton from the SANFL and Jayden Shea, however six goals was never likely to be enough for the visitors.

With Motton dominant in the middle and Corbin Sutherland damaging, if inaccurate, in front of goal kicking 2.5 (17) the Demons got the points.

Sutherland was incredibly complimentary when talking up the Sale City youngsters and suggested the Bulldogs would surprise a few sides across the course of the season.

He also, admittedly reluctantly, offered some praise to his own teams back six suggesting the blue collar work of Yarram’s defensive unit was crucial to the home side’s win.

IN a clash that looked almost certain to end the losers finals hopes Rosedale prevailed over Heyfield on the back of a strong first-half performance.

The Blues jumped the visiting Roos and led by 26 points at the main break.

From then on it was five goals each for the two sides with Rosedale keeping their season alive thanks to their 29-point win 10.11 (71) to 6.6 (42).

Playing his first game of the season, Brad Scott helped himself to a pair of goals and provided some much needed structure to Rosedale front half.

THIRDS

Shem Rendell was again in the best for Yarram at the weekend.

His presence in the forward 50 also freed up Frazar Brouns who was dominant around the ground and found his way into the best players list.

Benefiting the most from Brouns’ ruck work was young gun Riley Atlee, who was listed as best on for the winners in what will be a real confidence boost for him for the rest of the season.

Best for Heyfield was Brayden Woodland, Liam Heasley, Bailey Escreet, Tyson Birss and James Beha.

TRARALGON Tyers United 100-point plus win over Cowwarr consigned the Saints to the bottom of the ladder for at least another round.

Saints coach Shane Galea led the way for The Warr bagging two goals, but with only Toby Thorburn joining him on the goalkickers list his side was never really in the hunt and went down 18.17 (125) to 3.4 (22).

For TTU midfield bull Jayden Cutts and new recruit Rowan Hore managed four goals each in what would have been a terrific tuneup for this week’s clash with Churchill to be played under lights at the Tyers Recreation Reserve.

For those unable to attend this game will be covered by 104.7 Gippsland FM. In terms of the Bombers better players it was no surprise to see the likes of co-captain Jye Nielson, gun on baller Michael Jacobsen and key defender Jack Brown listed.

The upside for coach Jamie Aitken however is the inclusion of youngsters like Liam

Willaton and Tom Fleming among the Bombers better players yet again.

THE final clash of the round saw Woodside rebound from their loss to Yarram last week and get the points over a persistent Glengarry.

Glengarry in fact only trailed last year’s league champions by 20 points at the final break, but a five goal to none last term saw the Wildcats walk away with a 50-point win 15.10 (100) to 7.8 (50).

With the wind blowing across the ground scoring was hard with only Jay Neagle managing multiple majors for the Magpies.

Wildcats coach Michael Duncan, playing his first game for the season, kicked two for the victors with Ben Johnson and David Waddell grabbing three apiece.

Duncan reflected after the game that it was a contested battle noting the game was played in close all day.

This, he said, was symptomatic of both the conditions and both sides preparedness to play a loose player behind the ball.

When the game was on the line Duncan felt his club’s leaders, the likes of Ryan Foat, Dan Missen, Johnson and Will Broadbent all stood tall to ensure the Wildcats got the win.

Duncan also noted the efforts of David Waddell and Bailey Tatnell up front who presented well all day and took some telling marks.

Gormy’s great news Liam Durkin

Maffra Golf Club stalwart Sandy Murray had a hole-in-one on the 12th hole on his home club on April 27. This was his fourth career hole in one. The other three were also at Maffra, two on the second and one on the seventh, leaving only the 16th to be conquered.

A masterful effort from Les

JARRYD Roughead has answered Gormy’s SOS. The former Hawthorn champion will play a one-off game for the intrepid Gormandale FootballNetball Club in Round 10 of the North Gippsland Football-Netball League this season.

Roughead is scheduled to play for Gormandale on Saturday, June 18 against Glengarry at Gormandale Recreation Reserve.

The Tigers started 2022 on a positive note in Round 1, winning their first game in four years, but since then have suffered consecutive losses by 236, 189 and 173 points.

Roughead was secured by Gormandale as part of a promotional deal by brewing company Carlton & United, who ran an initiative where eight ex-AFL stars were put into a pool and drafted to country clubs.

Working under the banner ‘The Carlton Draft’ (a play-on words from Carlton Draught beer), country clubs put forward cases as to why they should be chosen to have one of the eight draft picks available.

Having collected four wooden spoons in the last five seasons, Gormandale had little trouble attracting attention from those shifting through applicants.

The Tigers were granted a pick, and submitted former Carlton and Adelaide excitement machine Eddie Betts as their first preference from the players available.

The draft was televised on Fox Footy last Wednesday night, where Gormandale players and officials gathered at the Grand Junction Hotel, Traralgon to learn their fate.

A collective ‘awww’ went around the sports bar when Betts was taken by another club, but this was quickly forgotten when the name ‘Jarryd Roughead’ was announced at Pick 5 a short time later.

CARLTON DRAFT Pick 1: Nathan Jones, Portarlington Football Club Pick 2: Eddie Betts, Branxholme Wallacedale Football Club Pick 3: Cameron Mooney, Longwood Football-Netball Club Pick 4: Shaun Burgoyne, Dalyston Football-Netball Club Pick 5: Jarryd Roughead, Gormandale Football-Netball Club Pick 6: Alex Rance, Campbells Creek Football-Netball Club Pick 7: Brendon Goddard, North Wangaratta FootballNetball Club Pick 8: Dale Thomas, Nhill & District Sporting Club

The 2013 Coleman Medallist was presented a Gormandale polo shirt by Brisbane Lions great Jonathan Brown during the telecast, getting his first feel for the yellow and black.

Speaking to the Gippsland Times a day after the draft, Roughead, from Leongatha, said he was looking forward to venturing back to Gippsland to help out.

“It aligned well that Gormandale picked me. It’s close to home, it’s a good chance to come back and play,” he said.

“The opportunity to come back Gippsland way, it’s just a good chance to give back to country footy and what has been a crappy two years and no one winning a flag, hopefully there will be a lot of people there.

“I’m at St Kilda (as an assistant coach) and Tim Membrey is involved at Glengarry, so I know the area quite well.”

With his work at St Kilda and having played a handful of games last year alongside his younger brother for Inverloch-Kongwak in West Gippsland, Roughead believed he was match-ready for the rigours of North Gippy footy.

“Being part of a footy club you still have to get

out there and train so it’s not like I haven’t been touching a footy for three years,” he said.

“I’ve done a bit of research and seen that the boys (Gormandale) have been going okay this year, Churchill seem like they are the number one team.”

Gippsland was well represented in the draft with Roughead joining Traralgon’s Brendon Goddard and Drouin’s Dale Thomas.

Dalyston was also one of the eight clubs involved.

Gormandale FNC president Daniel Earl said it was exciting to welcome a player of Roughead’s calibre.

“It is probably one of the best results we could have hoped for so looking forward to it,” he said.

“One of our fellas behind the scenes, Leigh Fabris, he does a lot of work, we all got together, wrote a letter into it and gave them our position where we’re at. It has been a struggle the last four/five years.”

Despite the recent heavy losses, Earl said morale remained high at Tigerland.

“To have three of the top four sides in a row is hard but at the same time with the younger generation around there is a good vibe around the place which is nice,” he said.

“Off the field I’m still really ramming it home to the guys (players) that we are getting a lot of things right off the field and I think they are believing in the committee and what we are trying to do and they are repaying us by showing up and supporting us.”

The support was evident by how many people were decked out in Gormandale colours at the Grand Junction to watch the draft.

Such a turnout even took this writer by surprise.

It certainly didn’t look like a club that was struggling. It only reinforced how much supporters keep a football-netball club together.

As the days tick down, Gormandale will be hoping Roughead gives those supporters plenty to cheer about.

Now the players just have to get the ball to him.

PEPPINO delivered Sale trainer Jack Walkley a result to savour at Cranbourne on Friday night.

The seven-year-old son of Pierro produced a slashing performance to win the $25,000 Heath Racehorse Agistment Picnic Grand Final (1600m).

The triumph was the realisation of a goal hatched after Peppino broke the track record in his Woolamai Cup win in February.

Peppino ($5.50) was given a lovely ride by jockey Mel McDonald and took out the feature race by a commanding 3 ¼ length margin.

Walkley’s confidence grew when the racecourse was hit by torrential rain in the lead-up to the race, which saw the meeting abandoned not long after Peppino was crowned the picnic champion of 2022.

“I qualified him (for this race) and stayed away from the picnics after that because he would have got too much weight,” he said.

“I’d like to thank Mel, that’s two rides for two wins on him. She said after winning at Woolamai that she wanted to ride him in the grand final and I said she could.”

Peppino arrived at the Walkley stable in early 2021 after stints with Steve Richards, John Smerdon, Shaun Coady and Daniel Wheeler, winning three races under Smerdon’s guidance, two on the Gold Coast and one at Ballina.

“I’m glad I picked him up online, I’m having a lot of fun with him,” he said.

“This horse is a lovely little horse. You can take him out in the car park and the kids could ride him.”

Friday night’s victory took Peppino’s record to six wins from 65 starts with 20 minor placings.

The $13,750 first-prize cheque lifted his career earnings to more than $150,000.

Fellow Sale galloper Cordoba finished sixth, beaten 10.6 lengths.
