Density changes
Jo Francis, Matt Stephenson and Kylie Board spread the pink bun Full story, page 4 message in Sale pedestrian mall on Friday.
DENSITY quotients of one person per two square metres will soon be lifted for small to medium sized venues across the state. However, Victorians will need to continue checking in using the state government’s QR code service through the Service Victoria app. From May 28, venues which have up to 200 people per space (such as dining rooms or band rooms) won’t have any density limit, provided COVID marshals are on site ensuring all patrons are checking in to each space. These changes will apply for spaces that are 400 square metres or below — larger spaces still need to observe density limits. This means Victoria’s live music venues, restaurants, bars and nightclubs, will be able to welcome more patrons. For places of worship, people will be able to register their details and gather in greater numbers within spaces smaller than 400 square metres. From May 28, all venues and businesses required to undertake electronic record keeping must use the state government QR Code Service through the Service Victoria app. Density quotients will also be removed for outdoor non-seated venues such as recreation facilities, community sport, pools, tourism services and non-seated outdoor entertainment. Existing COVID-safe requirements will still apply, supported by use of the Victorian government QR code service. Health Minister Martin Foley said the changes meant checking in would be quick and easy, and ensured the data was high-quality and easily available to contract tracers, should any venue be listed as an exposure site. Government Services and Creative Industries Minister Danny
Pearson said getting every Victorian to check in using the QR code was the goal. “This is great news for many live music venues, restaurants and nightclubs who can open the doors to up to 200 people per space,” he said. The Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry welcomed the progression for hospitality and events, but was frustrated with another change to the QR code system, which would mean many Victorian businesses would have to change their record-keeping procedures. Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Paul Guerra said the increase in density limits for hospitality and events was a step in the right direction, but “we should be taking all the restrictions off and opening up COVID-safe to full capacity, or 100 per cent.” “If we are asking businesses to accept the inconvenience and disruption of swapping their record keeping systems, we need to let them operate at viable levels,” he said. “Just one week ago, the state government told us that QR systems that could communicate with the state QR system would be acceptable for the purposes of COVID-19 contact tracing. “Today, the goal posts have shifted once again. “Business needs certainty, and this constant chopping and changing is making it difficult to keep up. “Mandated state QR code systems work well in other states and we are confident it will work well here too, as well as making it quicker and easier for customers and clients, but this process has been confusing and disorganised.”

Tinamba Food and Wine Festival on this Sunday AFTER sitting out 2020 in COVID-19 lockdown, Tinamba Food and Wine Festival is back this Sunday, promising to be a great day out celebrating Gippsland’s best wine, food and entertainment under the trees lining the town’s main street. While there will be a lot of hand sanitiser available, and numbers have been limited to ensure there is room for social distancing, organisers said they were lucky to have an outdoor location for the event, meaning there will be minimal changes for patrons in terms of the day’s atmosphere. Wines of East Gippsland chairman and Glenmaggie Wines co-owner, Tony Dawkins, said most of the changes were administrative, and people were used to them by now — such as queueing at safe distances, maintaining social distancing, making use of hand sanitiser and checking in via a QR code upon arrival. He added there would also be a new feel to the food offerings on the day, with a blend of old favourites and newcomers. “Because we have moved the date of the event to
The Tinamba Hotel will also be offering meals that include local produce — such as Maffra Cheese Co’s garlic cheddar and Shaw’s bacon cob loaf, southern fried chicken sliders, autumn salad, sweet potato wedges with Snowy River Black Garlic aioli, beef cheek croquettes with smokey aioli and more. For lovers of the hotel’s renowned desserts, the sticky date delight will headline Sunday’s offering. The meals and produce on offer at the festival can be enjoyed with a diverse selection of Gippsland wines from Avon Ridge, Blue Gables, Glenmaggie, Mt Moornapa, Narkoojee, Nicholson River and Tambo Wine. Entertainment will be provided by local favourites The Soultanas and Misty Henderson.

Bike passing laws reminder
LOCAL police are reminding drivers new laws are now in force when passing or overtaking bicycles. Drivers must be at least one metre on roads with speed limits over 60kmh, and at least 1.5 metres if travelling over 60 kmh. If drivers cannot pass the bicycle rider safely, they need to slow and wait until the next safe opportunity to do so. For large vehicles such as when towing boats, horse floats, caravans and tradie trailers, as well as heavy vehicles, such as trucks and buses, a safe distance may be more than the one metre or 1.5m minimum. Drivers can cross solid single lines, double lines or centre lines when overtaking people who ride bicycles, but only when there is a clear
view ahead and it is safe to do so. This includes when bicycle riders are riding in a bicycle lane (including painted white lines, a temporary separation like a pop-up bike lane, and permanent separation, for example kerbs, separating the bicycle lane); and when bicycle riders are riding two abreast on the road (which they are legally allowed to do). Where bicycle riders ride to the outside of the bike lane when riding past park cars, they are often trying to avoid the car door zone, to keep well clear of any unexpected car doors opening. Bicycle riders have the option to do a hook turn at any intersection, unless signed otherwise. This can be a safer option as they don’t need to cross into the middle of the road to turn right.

Offender flees to Valley after a burglary spree smashing the front doors, but was unsuccessful. Later in the night, the offender’s vehicle, a Holden Commodore which was recorded on CCTV at multiple locations, was then sighted in the Latrobe Valley. About 5am, police deployed stop sticks on the Princes Highway near Latrobe Regional Hospital, Traralgon, which stopped the vehicle, but the offender escaped on foot. The car has been seized, and is being forensically tested, as police continue their investigations. People with information about the offender’s whereabouts should phone Wellington Criminal Investigation Unit on 5142 2200, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Police issue a warning on farm thefts, with many not reported Michelle Slater
POLICE are urging farmers to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to put the clamps on farm crime and livestock theft. Victoria Police Farm Crime Coordination Unit inspector Karl Curran said only about 50 per cent of farm crimes were officially reported. Inspector Curran said the under-reporting of farm crime made it difficult for police to fully investigate or deploy the necessary resources to tackle the problem. “Farmers are often reluctant to report, but it is vital that all livestock theft as well as other farm crime is reported to allow us to look at other similar offences,” he said. “It is also important for members of the community to report any suspicious activity — the information they have might be the last piece of the puzzle needed to solve the crime.” The Farm Crime Coordination Unit was created in 2019 as a dedicated unit targeting farm crime, including livestock and equipment theft. Inspector Curran said the unit focussed on crimes including livestock, machinery, tools fuel or chemical theft, illegal hunting and animal activism. He said farmers could play a part in preventing crimes by accounting for livestock, locking their homes, checking and locking sheds, gates or loading ramps, and securing machinery and vehicles. “This is about good practices,” Inspector Curran said. “Theft can be a huge loss to a farmer’s livelihood. “We take this seriously, and this is why we want to know about it. “In light of livestock theft, we strongly urge farmers to be vigilant. “There is often no signs of damage to fences or gates, meaning farmers may be unaware that stock might be missing.”

SEVERAL business owners around Wellington Shire are reeling after a string of burglaries and attempted burglaries in the early hours of Sunday morning. As of yesterday morning, the offender, who police believe worked alone, was yet to be apprehended. The offender’s final target of the night, Stratford BP, was reportedly broken into about 2.15am, where police report property was stolen. Earlier in the night, the offender forced entry into the BP service station in Wurruk, but nothing was reported stolen. Police say the offender also attempted to gain access to the Uniting service station opposite the Sion convent and Jeremy Fleming Jewellers, Sale, by

GIPPSLAND MHR Darren Chester proved his confi fidence i in the COVID-19 vaccination by rolling up his sleeve at the Wellingt gton t Respiratory Clinic’s new vaccination clinic in Sale on Friday. Mr Chester said he wanted to lead by example to allay fears about vaccination, and had no hesitation in booking for his fii AstraZeneca shot now that first the vaccine has been opened up to people aged 50-plus. “From the people I speak to in the communities I visit, it’s clear there is confi fidence i in this vaccine and confi fidence i in what the government is doing to protect Australians,” he said. “The vaccines have been thoroughly tested, and we are in such a strong position in Australia because of the way things have been handled. “Wh What h we are seeing in India and closer to home in PNG is tragi gic, i and shows us that this pandemic is far from over.” Mr Chester said it was important to not lose the success so far achieved in keeping Australians safe.

Jo Francis, Matt Stephenson and Kylie Board spread the pink bun message in the Sale mall.
THE Wellington Shire community is being asked to dig deep again to help raise money for the Breast Cancer Network Australia, by buying up big on delicious pink buns at Bakers Delight Sale. This year franchise owners Matt and Narelle Stephenson are hoping to top their efforts by surpassing the store’s 2019 total of more than $20,000 to become the fundraiser’s most successful Bakers Delight in the country. Promotion for the pink bun campaign kicked off on Friday in Sale pedestrian mall, and featured a fundraising sausage sizzle, the difficult-to-miss pink mascot Veronica and a host of other pink paraphernalia in support of BCNA. Mr Stephenson, who has been selected to be the face of the Bakers Delight Australia-wide campaign, said his Sale store had been involved in pink bun campaign for more than 17 years, and staff were proud to be able to raise much-needed money for breast cancer support. “We couldn’t do this without the support of the local community, they really give us amazing support during this campaign,” he said. “Sale really is a special community, with individuals and businesses embracing this campaign, and we hope to do it again this year after a challenging 2020 due to COVID.” For three weeks from May 7 every Bakers Delight bakery across the country will turn pink, with 100 per cent of sales from all pink buns donated to BCNA. This year’s campaign will highlight the little things that can really make a big difference throughout someone’s breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, such as support with housework,
spending quality time with family and friends, or receiving messages of support. Sale breast cancer survivors Jo Francis and Kylie Board, who together run ‘Defining Beauty Through Breast Cancer’ which provides pampering packs to women diagnosed with breast cancer, are helping out with this year’s campaign by spreading the message that pink buns raise funds. Ms Francis said the not-for-profit BCNA provided essential support, information and care for women with breast cancer, and couldn’t do its work without fundraising. “That tailored support and connection with others is a really important part of the journey for women with breast cancer, and is something I really valued when I was diagnosed,” she said. Breast Cancer Network Australia is a not-forprofit organisation which supports Australians affected by breast cancer, aiming to ensure that Australians affected by breast cancer receive support, information, treatment and care. Mr Stephenson said his Sale store hoped to sell more buns than any other store in Australia, and urged businesses to get behind the fundraising campaign. “Come down and grab a pack of pink buns for morning tea — it’s all going to a great cause,” he said. “In the office, it’s a great way to connect with your staff by sitting down together for a pink bun.” Bakers Delight and BCNA have been together in the fundraising campaign for 21 years, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for breast cancer support.

TAFE aviation maintenance students to transfer to Aviation Australia
TAFE Gippsland and Aviation Australia are joining forces to transition aeroskills training in the Gippsland region. TAFE Gippsland’s chief executive, Grant Radford, said the partnership with Aviation Australia would result in an organisation with a proven training record in Gippsland offering enhanced training opportunities, including Diploma qualifications. “This partnership will be a positive one for the region and will ensure a small number of current students will transition to a new training provider that is better resourced to continue their vocational training,” he said. Mr Radford said a review at TAFE Gippsland identified an opportunity for transitioning qualifications relevant to the aeroskills industry to a specialist training provider. “Aviation Australia is a proven specialist provider and they are well placed to grow the provision
of aeroskills training to students throughout Gippsland, and they will ensure a high level of vocational training.” Aviation Australia’s chief executive, Bill Horrocks, assured Aviation Australia and TAFE Gippsland would ensure a smooth transition for the students. “Our team is looking forward to continuing the students’ vocational training and working with their employers to achieve a successful outcome for all,” Mr Horrocks said. “Aviation Australia was established to support the aviation industry and has achieved a remarkable record over the past 20 years in training aircraft maintenance engineers.” TAFE Gippsland is supporting and working cooperatively with Aviation Australia to facilitate the transition, enabling current TAFE Gippsland students to continue their vocational training in the aviation maintenance industry.

CYCLISTS of all abilities are invited to enjoy a day of trails, nature and wildlife at Ride the Wetlands, a relaxed roll from the Port of Sale around the waters of Sale Common this Sunday, May 16. Riders will have two flat circuits to choose from: an 8.5km course that takes in a scenic loop of Sale Common Wetlands and its impressive bird life; or a 14km circuit that heads out to the beautiful Sale Game Refuge, home to birds, reptiles, frogs and even a few wombats. Before and after the ride, participants will be able to visit the ‘event village’ at the Port of Sale for games and activities including the Ride Nation skills clinic, YMCA skate park activities, and the GippSport Street Games Bike. BMX freestyle riders will also be on site doing demonstrations. There will also be food vans, a barbecue by Sale Scout Group and entertainment — and people can even blend their own refreshing smoothies using pedal power. Wellington Shire mayor Garry Stephens said the event would showcase Wellington’s diverse wetlands, while providing a fun and safe day out. “Participants in Ride the Wetlands are in for a real treat,” he said. “Joining others for a leisurely ride, they will experience the beautiful wetlands area and perhaps even see some wildlife and parts of Sale they haven't

Local groups get Kalbar grants KALBAR Operations has announced five successful recipients for the first round of its community grants program, launched this year. The first round of grant funding attracted 11 applications from community groups across the East Gippsland and Wellington Shire areas. Kalbar Operations chief executive Jozsef Patarica said the applications received were of a high standard and the selection committee, made up of community representatives and Kalbar staff, had a tough job selecting the successful applicants. He encouraged unsuccessful applicants to apply again for funding when round two opens this Friday. Representatives from four of the five successful community groups attended a morning tea at
the Kalbar office in Bairnsdale to celebrate their success. Maffra’s George Gray Centre received funding to buy an interactive gaming console which encourages active movement through touching, moving and hand-eye coordination. The George Gray Centre is a long-standing and highly regarded disability day care service for disabled people aged over 18. It encourages integration into the workforce using its own gardening service and on site café. Lindenow Memorial Hall received a grant for new crockery and cutlery to replace mismatched and old crockery. The hall is used extensively by elderly residents in the area and is well utilised for a range of social
functions that support the local community. Metung Community Garden received funding for materials to create new garden beds. The garden connects people within the community and builds skills in how to grow vegetables. Lindenow South Football Netball Club received money to buy football jumpers for its first women’s football team, with a portion to be allocated towards jumpers for Indigenous players. East Gippsland Rail Trail received a grant to build seats and tables along the East Gippsland Rail Trail that stretches 100 kilometres from Bairnsdale to Orbost. The trail is used regularly by cyclists, walkers and horse riders.

THE Royal Australian College of General Practitioners has welcomed an increase in the weekly COVID-19 vaccine allocations to general practice. Effective immediately, practices in the 50 doses a week category will receive 150 doses a week and practices receiving 100 doses will receive 200 doses week. The increased doses will be available for all general practices that nominate to receive more. RACGP president Dr Karen Price said it was a positive step forward. “This is fantastic news because there are many general practices across Australia crying out for more COVID-19 vaccine doses,” she said. “This increased dose allocation means that those practices with the capacity to do so can ramp up their rollout operations and get more jabs in arms with less delay. “It recognises the important role of general practice in the vaccine rollout and the fact that general practice already acts as a ready-made mass vaccination program.” Dr Prices said there was still a long way to go.
“There is still an enormous amount of work to do, including counselling for our vaccine hesitant patients,” she said. Dr Price said GPs across the country were ready and able to meet demand, but needed the right kind of support to do so. Part of the increase in availability of vaccine stock was because of the states and territories re-diverting their AstraZeneca allocations to general practice and enhanced local production, she said. “All of this highlights that the RACGP’s advocacy is paying dividends and that governments are listening to general practice,” Dr Price said. “We are doing a lot of the heavy lifting to get as many people vaccinated as soon as possible so we need all the support we can get. “Many general practices have had a challenging COVID-19 vaccine rollout experience so far and I want that to change. “It is important that our highly-trained health care clinicians in the community, who are trusted by their communities, are not sitting idle during a pandemic.”

Maffra Men’s Shed and multi-purpose facility:
The dream is becoming a reality Liz Bell
IT'S been a long time coming, but it will be well worth the wait for Maffra Men’s Shed when it finally moves into a new, 850 square metre purpose-built shed on land previously home to the Maffra recreation vehicle park. An agreement was reached with the council earlier this year to establish a home for the Maffra Men’s Shed within a new community ‘hub’ on councilmanaged Crown land close to the town centre. Now the next step has been reached, with council and the state government officially signing off on the land and plans completed for a multi-roomed building that will incorporate the existing amenities block. The hub will become home to the Maffra Men’s Shed, McMillan Rockhounds and Maffra Lions Club, and will also include a common area, barbecue area, a kitchen and store rooms. Mr King said other community-based groups, including the Maffra Angling Club, had also expressed interest in co-sharing the facility. The search for a suitable home has dragged on since Maffra Men’s Shed was given notice to vacate its Gippsland Water-owned home in Gibney St in mid-2020. Maffra Men’s Shed president Jim King said it was a massive relief to have found such a suitable new site, and to finally get the paperwork signed. Plans have already been drawn up for the new building, and shed participants are about to embark on a fundraising drive so construction can be completed by next year. Being a permanent site within a large community hub, the facility will give the men’s shed some permanency and sense of belonging. “A permanent site was definitely the preferred option, and so to have this finally approved is just fantastic,” Mr King said. “Ït’s going to be a fabulous community hub and will become an important facility within the township.” The new workshop will be almost twice the size of the existing Gibney St space, which will allow participants to continue the great work they do for the community in a more comfortable and spacious environment.
Maffra Men’s shed members Jim King, Geoff Orr, Ken Field, Peter Clark, Graham Penfold and Dennis Proud. Mr King said Maffra Men’s Shed had cemented itself firmly in the hearts and minds of the community, and was regularly called upon to complete woodworking and metal work items for various community groups and council projects. In the 24 months from July 2019 to June 2021, Maffra Men’s Shed completed projects with an estimated community benefit of $44,200. It is also an important social outlet for retired men, providing a place to stay active and engaged in the community, and a place to complete their own projects if required. Mr King said the adage,‘women talk face-to-face but men talk shoulder-to-shoulder while they’re working on something,’ was part of the philosophy
that made men’s sheds work so well. Participant of three years, Dennis Proud, said the opportunity to be part of something that had a community focus had also given him something useful to do in retirement, and a chance to develop his woodworking and metal work skills. Retired carpenter Peter Clark said members also benefitted from building on their social skills and learning to work as a team. “We come here and you can work on your own projects, but we also have to work together as a team and help each other out,” he said. The Maffra Men’s Shed has established a Go-Fund-Me page,‘Maffra Men’s Shed Permanent Location’, to support the development of its new

facility, which has an estimated cost of $350,000 to $400,000. Mr King said the shed would also apply for grants and funding via the state government’s ‘Strengthening Men’s Sheds’ program and the federal government’s ‘Building Better Regions’ program. Local fundraising efforts that will support the project include sausage sizzles and other events. It is hoped that construction might begin by early 2022, with the bulk of the development completed by July 1, 2022. Mr King said throughout the staged development local businesses and tradespeople would be used as much as possible.

Sarsfield trail ride this Sunday THE Tambo Upper Trail Riding Club will return to Sarsfield for its ride this Sunday. The area was devastated by the 2019-2020 bushfires, resulting in the loss of a popular riding area for the public. However, this paled to insignificance compared to the tragic loss of property. Lead rider Pauline Garry has been busy mapping out the ride route and clearing tracks with the help of club members. The loss of established trees and protective canopy has resulted in strong re-growth of black wattle, making it difficult
to navigate the old historic riding tracks. The ride will be easy with just a couple of short hills and mainly soft ground. A shorter and more casual ride provides a great opportunity for new riders to go along and try out a club ride. On returning to the floats there will be a sausage sizzle lunch. Participants should take their drinks and sausages or lunch along to throw onto a barbecue. Families and visitors are invited to attend just for lunch if unable to ride on the day.
MAFFRA Men’s Probus will meet today from 9.45am in the Senior Citizens rooms, Pearson St. Guest speaker will be Jim Ballard. GIPPSLAND Bush Poets will meet this Thursday at the Macalister Hotel from 7.30pm. Anyone who reads, writes, recites or listens to bush poetry is invited to go along. THE Week of Prayer for Christian Unity will begin with an evening service at St Mary’s, Church St, Maffra, on Sunday from 5pm. All welcome. MAFFRA Neighbourhood House will screen The Nut Job during a free movie night on Friday, May 21, at Maffra Memorial Hall. The movie begins at 7pm. Bookings are essential — phone 5147 1487 to reserve seats. For anyone who has wanted to use an iPad but doesn’t know how to use one, Maffra Neighbourhood House may be able to help with its new iPad loan and training protocol. For more information, phone 5147 1487. A COFFEE morning will be held in the Geoff
People should visit the club’s Facebook page to confirm attendance. Ride out time will be 10am sharp from Old Man Hill Rd, Sarsfield, and will return to the floats about 1pm at the latest. Tambo rides are held on the third Sunday of every month and are suitable for most standards. Visitors are welcome and juniors are also encouraged, but must be accompanied by a guardian and able to ride independently. For more information phone Caz Driscoll on 0408 963 667, or Sue Cullinan on 0412 526 121.

Talking leaf beetles
WHEN it comes to the leaf beetles of Victoria, to know them is to love them. Martin Lagerwey is a citizen scientist who has studied leaf beetles across Australia for the past five years. Mr Lagerwey will be at Bond Street Event Centre in Sale this Thursday to help people learn about the main species of beetles likely to be encountered in Victoria. Leaf beetles are attractive and colourful insects, feeding mainly on the leaves of Eucalyptus and Acacia. They are occasional pests to the timber industry, especially in Tasmania, and are sometimes used for biological control of introduced weeds. Mr Lagerwey’s talk will be a must for people interested in insects and the natural environment. The presentation is free, and will begin promptly at 7pm, finishing no later than 9pm. For more information, email David at bondstreeteventcentre@optusnet.com.au or phone 5182 8770.

Super: Gld women will retire with almost $160,000 less than men
AN alarming gender superannuation gap means the typical Gippsland woman will retire with almost $160,000 less super than men. Gippsland women on the cusp of retirement have a median super balance of just $145,700 — well below the $545,000 needed for a comfortable retirement. Industry Super Australia is calling on the government to re-commit to lifting the superannuation rate from 9.5 per cent to 12 per cent, as Members of Parliament live by different rules and pocket more than 15 per cent super on top of their already generous parliamentary wages. The group is also calling for the government to pay super on Commonwealth paid parental leave and to abolish the $450 threshold when super is not paid to those earning less than that a month. Of people caught in the $450 threshold trap
about 60 per cent are women. While the amounts might be small, because of compounding interest, those amounts can make a big difference to a final retirement balance. At all ages, Gippsland women have less super than men. The gender super gap sees a sharp increase to almost 40 per cent when Gippsland women enter their 30s, a period where many women take time out of the workforce. This gap widens to almost 60 per cent in a woman’s early 50s. Gippsland women also fall behind the state and national female median superannuation balances. Women on middle to low incomes are the most likely to get the legislated super boost. Industry Super Australia says lifting the rate is part of the solution to fix the gender
imbalance and will give women the financial power to choose how they live in retirement. A 30-year-old woman on the median wage could have up to $85,000 less at retirement if the super rate is cut, which could cause a generation of Gippsland women to suffer more economic insecurity. While the gender super gap widens, Industry Super Australia says the government has been dragging its feet on important reforms which will improve Gippsland women’s retirement outcomes including: • Paying super on every dollar earned, including Commonwealth paid parental leave; • Abolishing the $450 threshold where super is not paid if you earn less than this in a month. This outdated policy greatly affects women as they are more likely to have multiple part-time jobs; • Failing to enact super splitting legislation. This streamlines the process of dividing super assets when a relationship ends, and allows more women to get their fair share. Industry Super Australia Advocacy director Georgia Brumby said if local MPs didn’t act now, women’s savings would keep falling further behind. “Gippsland MP Darren Chester has a simple choice,” Ms Brumby said. “He can fight to deliver the promised super boost and get super paid on every dollar earned, or explain to female voters why he thinks it’s ok for many local women to retire into poverty.
Historic real estate increases in metro and rural areas
THE Real Estate Institute of Victoria’s REIV’s March quarter median price data shows historic increases for a number of areas in Melbourne and regional Victoria. For the first time, houses in metropolitan Melbourne surpassed a median value of $1 million, jumping by 8.8 per cent from the previous quarter to land at $1,004,500. In regional Victoria, houses surpassed $500,000 for the first time, with a 4.1 per cent increase from the December quarter, and 12.3 per cent annual growth. While regional unit prices recorded a 5.9 per cent quarterly increase, they are now 19.1 per cent more valuable than they were 12 months ago. Many city-dwellers are taking up residence in regional Victoria, as flexible working conditions are being embraced. Gains in regional Victoria show that the benefits of the strong market have been spread around the state, not just in the traditional inner suburbs.

Gippsland women on the cusp of retirement have a median super balance of just $145,700 — well below the $545,000 needed for a comfortable retirement. “It’s time for Superannuation Minister Jane Hume to show real leadership and re-commit to her promise to increase the savings of women in Gippsland. “There is nothing more important for a woman’s economic security than having enough savings at retirement.”
Victorians are looking beyond the inner suburbs to find the lifestyle they want. These intra-state migrants will help to create jobs, boost local businesses, and revitalise regional communities. Across the country, the number of first home buyers increased to 45,759 in December quarter, up 24.7 percent (Real Estate Institute of Australia December quarter report), with Victoria experiencing a similarly positive trend. Loans to first home buyers now make up 42 per cent of the owner-occupier market (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2021), and credit growth in Australia from investment housing and owner-occupier housing has also been showing a positive trajectory throughout 2020 and into early 2021. These numbers demonstrate that new entrants to the property sector are taking advantage of beneficial market conditions and incentives, such as low interest rates, first home buyer grants and mortgage repayment holidays. With Victoria’s property sector reaching an estimated 35,000 transactions in the March quarter — the highest prior-correspondingperiod result since 2015 — it’s important to consider if this performance is indeed sustainable. To answer this, we need to look at a few important external influences for the sector over the six to 12 months: How significant an impact will the new Residential Tenancies Act have on property owners – will investors consider other investment options as they realise how onerous the new rules are for landlords? How will the continued closure of international borders impact overseas investors? How might credit levels change if interest rates rise? Will fewer international students and less migration contribute to downward pressure on rent levels? How long will government play a role in providing incentives for first home buyers? They’re all critical factors people in the sector should be attuned to. But, in the meantime, we can take a moment to reflect on the fact that the property sector in Victoria is a significant economic contributor that’s enabling opportunity for more and more Victorians every day. According to the numbers. — Gil King, chief executive, Real Estate Institute of Victoria

THE median price per hectare of Australian farmland increased by 12.9 per cent in 2020 — the seventh consecutive year of growth — according to Rural Bank’s annual Australian Farmland Values 2021 report. For the first time in 15 years, all Australian states experienced growth in median price per hectare, demonstrating the resilience of farmland values through events as significant as the COVID-19 pandemic. Tasmania pushed further into record growth territory (25.3 per cent growth in 2020), followed by Western Australia (19.3 per cent), New South Wales (15.6 per cent), Queensland (11.8 per cent), South Australia (10.9 per cent) and Victoria (6.9 per cent). These extraordinary increases were despite a 14.5 per cent rise in transaction volumes, bouncing back from 2019’s historic lows. Total transactions equated to a combined 8.2 million hectares of land with a collective value of $10 billion. Remarkably, Australian farmland has delivered an average compound annual growth rate of 7.6 per cent in the past 20 years. Rural Bank chief executive Alexandra Gartmann said the report demonstrated that farmland continued to perform extremely well and reflected the underlying strength of the sector. “Farmland values have risen strongly in every state of Australia and in many cases to levels not seen before,” Ms Gartmann said. “Low interest rates and consistent commodity prices, coupled with exceptional seasonal conditions throughout 2020, have provided farmers with capital and an incentive to invest. “These factors have proven to be powerful drivers in terms of demand for farmland.” For the first time, the Australian Farmland
Values 2021 report explores the correlation between commodity prices with both national and state median price per hectare. “Historically, there has been a strong relationship between commodity prices and farmland values, however, 2020 saw an increasing gap between the two, which we first observed in 2016 and which continues to widen,” Ms Gartmann said. “Many farmers are seeking to expand. “This, combined with a smaller pool of sellers, has resulted in strong competition for property. “Farmland prices and farmland as an asset class will continue to be keenly watched, but increasing asset price alone is no guarantee that agriculture as an industry will continually prosper. “Positive trends in commodity prices underpinned by strong export demand and a growing domestic market can be tempered by factors such as a changing climate and increasing demands from consumers for transparency within the production and supply chain. “Experienced buyers with clear heads and an eye on the longer-term will also weigh up geopolitical risks and their potential impact on commodity prices,” Ms Gartmann said. “But even with these risks in mind, it appears that high values for quality farmland will continue to be supported in the short to medium term.” The annual Australian Farmland Values report tracks every farmland sale in the past 26 years, providing detailed insights into farmland values across Australia. The report drew on more than 263,000 transactions, accounting for 315.9 million hectares of land with a combined value of $167.3 billion over 26 years.

2XU /RFDO .LQGHUJDUWHQV Choosing the best kinder fit for your child
MOST kindergartens welcome enquiries and will organise a time for parents to visit. People considering the best kinder for their children will be able to see the centre, its staff and the children attending it. If your child already goes to child care, you should go to any information sessions they run. They may also have a kindergarten program. Good quality kindergarten is important, because it sets young children up for life. First impressions on entering a kindergarten will reveal if the atmosphere is inviting or cold, relaxed or frantic. It should be a safe and comfortable place and the children should have a choice of fun and challenging activities. Parents should see the teacher and other educators working confidently with the children and enjoying their company. The kindergarten should have information about their operations, policies and procedures on display. You can also ask them to give you a copy. Policies should be child and familyfocused, and should also be sensitive to each family's cultural and social background, lifestyle and child-rearing practices. Available information should include the education and activities program, the contact details of the responsible regional department office, the fees charged, the name and telephone number of the person
you can contact if you have any complaints or concerns, their behaviour management policy, staff qualifications and their children’s service licence. These are some of the questions parents might consider asking to determine if a kindergarten is suitable for their child:
What is the quality rating? Are places available for the days and hours I need? Does the kindergarten operate throughout the year or only during certain times, like school terms? Do they offer a funded kindergarten program? What are the fees? Are there any other costs on top of the fees? Is there a fee to be placed on the waiting list? Do they offer extended care? How do they support children with additional needs? What happens if my child is unwell, upset, or unsettled? How are food and drink given to the children? How do they give medication? Once you find a kindergarten that meets your needs, the next step is to enrol and prepare your child for starting kindergarten.

Our 3 Kindergartens will be holding their Open Day for 2022 enrolments on
Three-year-old kinder in Wellington next year
THE Victorian government is investing almost $5 billion over a decade to introduce universal funded three-year-old kindergarten – and it will be available in Wellington from 2022. This means another year of learning, growing, playing and making friends for Victorian children. Taking part in a quality kindergarten program from the age of three boosts children’s learning, development, health and well being outcomes. Play-based learning is how young children learn best. It gives children the opportunity to use their imaginations, build their language skills and learn about numbers and patterns. They also learn how to get along with others, share, listen and manage their emotions. Children in Wellington will benefit from 2022
with access to five hours of a funded kindergarten program each week. The hours will increase to 15 hours a week by 2029. Families are encouraged to look for the ‘Kinder Tick’ when looking for kindergarten for both three and four-year-olds. The Kinder Tick gives parents confidence that the program will be led by a qualified teacher, that the children will benefit from play-based learning, and that it is a program funded and approved by the Victorian government and the program complies with the National Quality Framework. The state government is encouraging families to look for the Kinder Tick and enrol in threeyear-old kindergarten in 2022.

2XU /RFDO .LQGHUJDUWHQV Grammar ELC provides a great start GIPPSLAND Grammar Early Learning Centre provides an excellent beginning for local children as they embark upon their education. Its three and four year-old programs are tailored to meet the needs of young students, aiming to ensure their first schooling experience is positive and happy. Aligned to the Gippsland Grammar Academic Care Principles, the ELC upholds the school’s five core values: compassion, leadership, excellence, respect and responsibility. Gippsland Grammar Early Learning Centre director Lisa Burgess said the philosophy was to create harmonious, caring and creative learning environments to challenge and extend children. “These early years are crucial years of intellectual, social, spiritual and physical growth,” she said. “Children are encouraged to become flexible, creative and adaptable thinkers who are global citizens navigating change in a fast-moving world. “They are immersed in an environment which provides plenty of early literacy and numeracy experiences, a mix of adult and child-directed learning, as well as opportunities for open-ended interest-based exploration.” Daily programs at Gippsland Grammar ELC integrate the arts, science, mathematics and language, the development of thinking skills, growth mindset precepts and education about
sustainability. They are enriched by weekly specialist lessons in music, Japanese and a perceptual motor program. Children also attend the library each week to borrow books, and each child in the transition program (four and five year-olds) has their own special Year 5 ‘buddy’. While the Early Learning Centre has its own safe enclosed areas within St Anne’s campus, the children can see and interact with older children and become comfortable with the idea of being part of the ‘big school’ from an early age. Mrs Burgess said this helped make the transition into Foundation at Gippsland Grammar successful and seamless. Early Learning Centre teachers work closely with Foundation educators and other staff members throughout the school and are able to fully utilise its resources. Gippsland Grammar principal Leisa Harper said parents were invited as active partners in their child’s education. “Gippsland Grammar parents value education,” she stated. “Quality education is a priority. “Our students are not just kids; they are our future leaders and totally worth the investment.” For more information about Gippsland Grammar’s Early Learning Centre, phone director Lisa Burgess on 5143 7123.
Gippsland Grammar Early Learning Centre student Constance MacMillan practises the school’s values as she cares for a creature created in a class with her Year 5 buddy.

to the gentle and turquoise waters often experienced at the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland. Australia is reknowned for its incredible beaches, and Schumann’s art is a unique and joyful expression that she hopes captures the spirit and essence of these powerful places — the spirit that moves her to joy. Ocean Bright, Ocean Calm is on display at the Briagolong Art Gallery under June 6.
IN the front yard of the family’s home stands a magnolia tree. It was mum’s favourite. In another time her children would hunt its branches for the elusive singing cicadas. Mum’s Alzheimer’s is now profound and her now much older children often search her eyes for her. But tonight, the three of them have supposedly come together to choose her a nursing home, but then one suggests a more radical course of action, setting mum free, tonight. This play has two endings, and it is the audience who, through live voting will decide. Either thumbs up or thumbs down. In the moments before its premiere Michael, the writer, assured an audience member, who was a priest, that the audience would never vote, “thumbs down,” but that night they did. Then, astonishingly,
after over 40 shows the result from the audience stands at about 50-50. But then this isn’t parliament, it’s theatre, so you can vote ‘melodramatically’. Incredibly the script is remarkably funny but never black. Instead its brilliant and gripping story uses a strategy of slowly revealed deeper truths that see these siblings travel ever further towards a heart of darkness . . . or is it light? With occasional coarse language and suitable for people aged 15 years and above, The Magnolia Tree will be performed at The Wedge, Sale, on Thursday, May 27, from 1.30pm and 8pm. Tickets cost $43 for adults, $41 seniors, $37 concession and $30 people aged under 30, and are available by phoning 5143 3200, or visiting www.thewedge.com.au or the box office at 100 Foster St.

Gymnasts off to national titles
THREE Maffra Gymnastic Club members have been selected to represent Victoria at the national championships this week. Chelsea Ikin (level five), Tess O’Toole (level seven) and Katelyn Henderson (level seven)
were selected following trials in Bendigo and Melbourne in recent months. The girls will head to the Gold Coast to compete in acrobatic tumbling on Sunday. They will flip and tumble
down a 25-metre mat and need to finish with still and controlled landings. Their coach Robyn Dowse will also travel with them, as she was also selected as one of the state team tumbling coaches.
Treble for McMahon at Sale greyhounds David Braithwaite
DARRIMAN trainer Bill McMahon had three winners during Sunday night’s Sale greyhounds meeting. McMahon’s Harrigan won the 440 metre mixed grade six and seven final by three lengths from Golden Skyrocket, trained by Gavin Clifton by Tynong North. Dogs trained by McMahon won both heats of the 440m grade five series. Dr Carmel won the first heat by four lengths from Dr Luna, trained by Judy McMahon. In the second heat, Dr Knuckles led all the way, but survived a challenge from Aston Jupiter, trained by Graeme Jose at Catani, and Dr Lynch, trained by Ronald Winter at Denison. The final will be held on Sunday night. Pearcedale trainer Jason Thompson had four winners on the night: Rebellious, Interrogate,
Aussie Secret and Zambora Lou. The night began with Merina winning a 440m maiden for Bev Proctor at Alberton West. In the first heat of the 520m grade five series, Sandy Gem won for John Connor at Rosedale, just ahead of Bill McMahon’s Claydon. Less than two seconds separated the first five dogs. Variation, trained by Matt Clark at Briagolong, won the second heat, with the final this Sunday. The night’s final race, a 440m grade five, was a race in two, with Angelic Shadow, trained by Chris Tilley at Sale, finishing half a length ahead of Camila, trained by Jenny Gill at Darriman. Earlier, Zealous Alex claimed a second win from three starts for Terri-Maree Morris at Traralgon in the 440m grade seven. The next meeting at Sale will be Friday night. DR Madison, trained by Bill McMahon, won a 515m free for
all at Sandown Park on Thursday night. Claiming a third victory from her past four starts, Dr Madison just won from a fast-finishing Lakeview Walter, trained at Metung by Monique Whelan. In Warragul on Friday night, Floats Alone, trained by Des Douch at Maffra, won a 460m mixed grade six and seven. The dog now has three wins from six career starts. Douch had more success on Saturday night at The Meadows, where Sovereign Wind was an impressive six-length winner in a 525m grade five. GREENWATTLE Racecourse will host a horse racing meet tomorrow. The first of eight races is scheduled to leave the gates at 12.25pm, with the last at 4.30pm. In line with COVID-safe rules, people intending to attend the races must register on the Sale Turf Club website.

Swans beat the Blues David Braithwaite
STRATFORD marked 150 games in East Gippsland football with a 85-point victory over Orbost-Snowy Rovers on Saturday. The Swans kept their unbeaten start to the season going, winning 18.13 (121) to 5.6 (36) at home. The Swans also maintained it holding on top spot of the ladder, thanks a vastly superior percentage compared to Lakes Entrance. A seven-goal to one opening term set the tone for the match, as the Swans applied the pressure which has been a trademark of their season so far. The Swans won the ball from centre following the opening ball-up, with Jack Bacon’s kick forward bouncing through the big sticks. A snap goal from Rodney O’Keefe, following a boundary throw-in, doubled the home side’s lead five minutes in. Minutes later, a Bacon kick found Dylan Nikolajew, who handballed to O’Keefe in the goal square for the Swans’ third major. O’Keefe soon had his third goal, set-up by Bacon. Matt Rogers kicked the Blues’ only goal of the term, before the Swans added three more goals to lead by 35 points at the first break. The Swans kicked three goals to one in the second quarter to head into the main break leading by 50 points. Both sides kicked three goals during the third term, before the Swans booted the only five majors of the fourth. O’Keefe finished with eight goals for the Swans, to move five clear on the league goal kickers’ list. Bacon (four goals), Jordan Robertson and Jacob
Bennett also troubled the Blues’ defence. Nikolajew led the way in the midfield, with Andrew Scott again strong in defence. Hamish Nettleton kicked three goals for the visitors, with Ash Jonkers and Mitch Dignan their best players. BOISDALE-BRIAGOLONG was too good for Lucknow at home, winning by 48 points. After leading by 13 points at quarter-time, the Bombers kicked four unanswered goals in the second term to lead by 39 points at half-time. Both sides kicked five second half goals, but the Bombers’ better first half gave them the win, 13.17 (95) to 7.5 (47), lifting them into third place on the ladder ahead of a big game against Lakes Entrance at home. Shaun Bates, Nicol Sandison, Mat Goodwin, Daniel Johnson and Nick Marshall led the way for the Bombers, with Andrew Quirk kicking three goals. Lucknow’s best players were Josh Carroll and Dion Grace. LAKES Entrance overcame Wy Yung at home. The Seagulls led by one point at three-quartertime, and while both sides kicked a goal in the final term, the home side had the bulk of the scoring shots (seven to one) to win 7.14 (56) to 7.7 (49). Liam Carroll and Fraser Dostine were Lakes’ best players, with Xavier Woodland contributing three goals. Kaleb Hodson stood out for the Tigers. LINDENOW moved into the top four with a 39-point win at Paynesville. The Cats overcame the determined Gulls 12.16 (88) to 7.7 (49), with Caleb Marsh and Jordan Farquhar their best players.

To provide independent and objective assurance and assessment to the Audit and Risk Committee on the state of internal controls in the business and provide management with practical recommendations for improvement to the controls; and

To assist management in the effective discharge of their responsibilities to the Board regarding the maintenance of an effective internal control framework by providing independent appraisals of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal control systems.

JACK Wrigglesworth was named the best player of the season in the Victorian Premier Cricket second grade. The honour was handed out during the recent Premier Cricket Awards night in Melbourne. After playing recent seasons for BoisdaleBriagolong and Stratford,Wrigglesworth returned to Premier Cricket this season to play for Geelong. After playing for Stratford in the opening round of the local season, Wrigglesworth began the delayed Premier Cricket season in the firsts before playing most of it in the seconds. Wrigglesworth scored two half-centuries and a 40 in the qualifying final loss, averaging just over 40 in the seconds, plus claimed two four-wicket hauls. He’s not the first member of the Wrigglesworth family to be honoured in the state’s premier club competition, with father Ian winning the Jack Ryder Medal for the best player in first grade for season 1996-97.
Locals among region’s best TWO Sale-Maffra cricketers have been selected in the Gippsland Cricket Team of the Year.

WONTHAGGI made a statement in defeating Gippsland League football premier Maffra by 62 points on Saturday. The Power produced its first win in Maffra since 2014 with a 15.12 (102) to 6.4 (40) victory. The result ended the Eagles’ run of seven consecutive wins over the Power. The visitors put on an impressive display, applying plenty of pressure when the Eagles had the ball, creating many turnovers.The Power’s running game then set up numerous scoring opportunities, with inaccuracy during the first and third quarters preventing a greater margin. Both teams kicked a goal in the opening quarter, although the Power had eight scoring shots to three to lead by five points at the break. The Eagles didn’t trouble the scoreboard operator during the second term. Luke O’Connor extended the deficit to 11 points with a Wonthaggi goal early in the second term. It took until time-on for the Power to kick its second goal, when Troy Harley’s kick from long range kick just avoided the hands of the Maffra defence. Darcy Brosnan kicked the third goal of the term shortly before half-time after out-marking his opponent. The Power led by 24 points at the main break. Goals from Jack Blair (following back-to-back 50 metre penalties), Jordan Staley and Harley gave the Power a 44-point lead 13 minutes into the third quarter. The Eagles kicked their first goal since the first quarter in the 17th minute of the third, only for Harley to kick a goal a minute later. Wonthaggi added two more goals to lead by 57 points at three-quarter-time. The final term was a tighter affair, but the Power still out-scored the home side five goals to four to maintain its undefeated start to the season. Power coach Jarryd Blair typified his side’s running came with a beston-ground performance through the midfield, with brother Jack also strong around the ground. Harley finished the game with five goals. Kade Renooy, Danny Butcher and Tom Gray were valiant for the Eagles in the midfield, while James Read performed well in defence in his return from concussion. Maffra forward Daniel Bedggood played his 200th senior game, but the milestone was not enough to inspire the Eagles, who are now in seventh place on the ladder with one win from four matches.

Pies out-played by slick Hawks
SALE went down to a determined and slick Drouin outfit by 29 points. Drouin jumped out of the blocks, quickly kicking three goals before Sale got its first with a long bomb from Jonty McGuiness following a beautiful pass from skipper Jordan Dessent. The Hawks added another goal to take a 15-point lead into quarter-time. After a rev up from coach Jack Johnstone, Sale had all the play in the second quarter, keeping Drouin goal-less, but only adding two goals to make the difference two points at the main break.
With the game in the balance, Drouin took control in the third quarter, kicking six goals to two, setting up its win with quick movement of the ball around the ground. The game fizzled out, with both sides adding just two goals each in the final quarter, as the Hawks ran out comfortable winners, 12.8 (80) to 7.9 (51). Daine McGuiness dominated the ruck in his best game for the club so far, and Will Leslie and Mitch Dowse were the other best players for Sale, while for Drouin Jacob Konstanty was outstanding with four goals. The previously undefeated Magpies were missing key players John Gooch, Kane Martin, coach Johnstone and Brad Dessent.

IT was a plentiful trip east for Traralgon, as a Jake Best masterclass inspired his team to a 19.20 (134) to 6.4 (40) win at Bairnsdale.Taking a daunting 61-point lead into the second half, Traralgon did not let up in the third stanza with its hardcontested brand of football proving too much for the bruised and battered Redlegs outfit. As the lead blew out past 100-points in the shadows of three-quarter-time, the Maroons would put the cue in the rack in the final term, as Bairnsdale showed a bit of fight to win the final quarter and keep the final margin in double figures.The Redlegs defenders were powerless to stop Best in the air and on the ground, as the Maroons coach finished with seven goals. Matt Northe was again promient through the middle of the ground, while wingman Nicholas Lowden kicked three goals. MORWELL was unable to register its first win of the season as Leongatha continued its rich vein of form with a convincing 10.13 (73) to 4.7 (31) victory. The Parrots got the early jump with a four-goal to one first quarter. Morwell began to get the game back on its terms in the second term but was unable to make any true dent on the scoreboard as Leongatha went into the main change 25 points to the good. The class and experience of the Parrots got them on top as they kicked three unanswered goals to take an unassailable 43-point lead into three-quarter-time. Aaron Heppell put together yet another strong performance leading Leongatha’s midfield, with Matthew Borschman best-on-ground. MOE continued its undefeated start to the season with a comfortable 15.17 (107) to 7.9 (51) victory over Warragul on Sunday. It was a tight start at Western Park as the Gulls got on top early, but struggled to convert with a score line of 2.6 (18) at the first change. The Lions took advantage of their opponent’s inaccuracy in the second term, kicking six goals to take a comfortable 21-point lead into half-time. Moe continued to dominate into the third quarter, with the class and experience of its midfield getting on top and putting the young Warragul side to the sword. Kristian Jaksch was the star of the show up forward for the Lions, kicking four goals to solidify his place atop the league’s goal kicking list, while Scott Van Dyk was prominent all day across half-back in what was a best-on-ground performance. — with Matt McGuiness and Zac Standish

Unbeaten runs end Liam Durkin
ROSEDALE and Traralgon-Tyers United toppled North Gippsland football’s two previously undefeated teams on Saturday. Rosedale put in a good four-quarter effort to win at Heyfield, 14.12 (96) to 11.12 (78). Fresh from the week off, the Blues made the most of their opportunities in the first quarter, kicking four goals from five scoring shots. Conversely, the Kangaroos only nailed one goal from six shots. Rosedale blew the game open after the first break, slamming on five goals to take a 35-point lead as teams went into the sheds. This margin ended up being around the same for the remainder of the game, as the Blues ran the game out three-goal victors. In a good sign for Rosedale, Brandon McDonald was not left to do all the goal kicking, as five players returned multiple hauls. Jake Suter, Luke Stuckey and Hayden Bell were best-on-ground in the win. Brad Berry, Brayden Woodland and Kodie Woodland stood out for Heyfield. TTU also put a four-quarter performance together at Gaskin Park to defeat Churchill, 13.9 (87) to
Nagle prevails over Panthers NAGLE College defeated the Pink Panthers seven tries to four during Wednesday night’s round of Sale touch football. Nagle showed it was there to play, taking a 3-1 lead into half-time. In the second half, it appeared the Pink Panthers were going to reverse the trend, however Kyle Grummisch made his presence felt. The pressure was on the Panthers to score additional tries, but Nagle’s determination prevented such a plan from being realised. Grummisch top-scored with three tries, while Nagle teammate Oscar Crunden-Smith scored two, with one each from Jackson Annear and Jack Neal. Simon Driessen scored two tries for the Panthers, with Riley Forde and Albert Van Uyver scoring one each. Best players were Driessen, Mason Annear, Re Crunden-Smith, Sarah Whitehead and Samantha Lorenz. LONGFORD Trailer Hire just got over the line from the Mustangs, winning 7-5. Connor Rimington and Brodie Towers both scored two tries for Longford, with one each from Jack Neesham, Brysen Nottle and Henry Ropeti. Ryan Rosenberger was the Mustangs’ top scorer with three tries, while Thomas McGovern and Corey Siebel each scored one. Best players were Towers, Henry Ropeti, Ryan Rosenberger, Rhiannon Massey Ryder Hinchcliffe, and Nicol Rosenberger. PORKY’S Pines forfeited its game with the Phoenix-CAT’s. Tomorrow night’s matches, 6.30pm: Nagle College v PhoenixCAT’s (referee Pink Panthers); Mustangs v Porky’s Pines (Longford Trailer Hire); 7.20pm: Pink Panthers v Longford Trailer Hire (Nagle College).
8.13 (61). A five-goal second term set up the match for the Bombers, as they were able to keep the Cougars at bay from then on. The win may have been a few weeks in the making, as the Bombers had either drawn or lost their previous three matches by under 10 points. Zac Kilgower was best-on-ground for TTU, and received good support from Justin Barnes and Josh Ward. For Churchill,Alan Chandler came back into the team and kicked two goals, while Jake Roe-Duggan kicked the same number to be adjudged best for the Cougars. YARRAM annihilated Sale City. The Demons made the trip back up the South Gippsland Highway a long one for the Bulldogs after winning 21.8 (134) to 7.4 (46). While many may have tipped Yarram to win, even the most one-eyed Demon supporter surely would not have seen an 88-point mauling coming. A seven-goal second quarter took the margin out to 66 points at half-time. Veteran Griffin Underwood was the stand-out in the win, and fed the likes of Ben Vardy, who finished with five majors. Sale City was without injured coach Shane Fyfe, as all he could do was watch on from the sidelines as the horror show unfolded. After defeating the previously unbeaten Woodside and drawing with Rosedale in recent weeks, the Bulldogs coach will be hoping this performance is just an outlier and a case of everyone in red, white and blue just having an extremely bad day. Better players for the Bulldogs were Tom Mann, Ben Chivers and Troy Carstairs. WOODSIDE strolled away in the final quarter to defeat Gormandale. An eight-goal final term undid three quarters of
competitiveness from the travelling Tigers, as a 37-point margin bled out to 89 at the finish. Throughout the game, the Wildcats scrambled a few easy goals from right in front, with the Tigers becoming more and more demoralised as it happened. Woodside coach Michael Duncan kicked a number of these type of goals, with some coming from clever soccer kicks. Duncan showed the importance of keeping your feet and ended up having a day out, kicking 10 goals. Best-on-ground honours were given to Josh Scott, Brenton Kuch and Josh Kennedy. The Tigers had good passages of play, but were perhaps a little too fired up at times, which resulted in two yellow cards being handed out and Gormandale having to play two men down in the last quarter when the score blew out. To their credit, the Tigers continued to play attacking football, when the easy thing to do would have been to drop numbers back to protect the margin. Most watching the game would have agreed Gormandale didn’t deserve to lose by as much as it did. Tigers captain Josh Pearce was their best, while Mitchell Jones and Jarryd Movchan also found plenty of touches, as did John Chessells. YALLOURN-YALLOURN North did as expected against Cowwarr, kicking away after half-time to a 23.17 (155) to 4.7 (31) win. Keenan Hughes and Mitchell Luck kicked six goals each for the victors, in what was a nice percentage booster on their home deck. Dylan Bath and Dylan Bentley were again among the best for YYN. The Saints didn’t have a lot to smile about on the day, but Jack Casson, Ben Coffey and Sam Moran battled hard. GLENGARRY had the bye.

Aussie-made Studebakers
THE era of Australian-assembled Studebakers was relatively brief, from 1960 to 1966, but it made its mark on the country, with the vehicles cutting a familiar figure on local roads, especially when they were in use as police cars and ambulances. Initially, all Studebakers sold in Australia were fully-imported, but the 1959 Studebaker Lark was selling so well in Australia that the Studebaker Corporation contracted the Canada Cycle and Car Company to assemble complete knockdown kits in the Melbourne suburb of Tottenham. The vehicle was well suited to Australian conditions, and most were being sold with V8s, giving them plenty of power compared to competitors. On show at Maffra’s Gippsland Vehicle Collection as part of its current feature exhibition First and Last, people can see a two-door 1960 Studebaker Hawk, which was originally bought by Frank and Pierina, the owners of Andy’s Drycleaners in Mildura. Frank was drawn to the vehicle by its styling, performance and reliability, and he was familiar with the marque, as he had been driving his father’s 1923 Studebaker on the family’s orchard, and was trading in his own 1953, coral-red Studebaker Champion to make the purchase. Frank had regularly driven his 1953 Stude to Melbourne, but when his children started boarding school, he didn’t need the large four-door car anymore and went for the more compact two-door Hawk, making his trips to Melbourne quicker and more comfortable. When Frank upgraded again, he kept the Hawk, and it was garaged until 1990 when it was passed to his son Peter, who later passed it on to his own son Paris, the current owner. Paris believes with ongoing care and maintenance he will have his Studebaker Hawk on the road for many years to come. It is powered by a 4244cc 4.2 litre V8OHV, which produces 4500rpm with a top-speed of 170kmh. Power is transferred to a three-speed auto. Also on show is a 1965 Studebaker Lark, the last of the models assembled in Australia. Although the vehicles were still being assembled in 1966, Australia did not receive any true 1966 models, and continued assembling 1965-specification cars. While the vehicle is mostly standard, its current owner, Graeme Schubert, has upgraded slightly with an engine and gearbox transplant. The engine is now a 350 Chevrolet, mated to a GM Power-Glide auto transmission. The wheels have been changed to six inch width on the front and seven inch on the back, and the styling elements were given a slight tidy up. The last official year of Australian-based production for Studebaker was 1966. Volvo - BMW - Volkswagen - Mercedes Benz - Peugeot

Thirteen “leftovers” were sold in 1967, including two ambulance-bodied wagons, which were unique to Australia, and two were sold in 1968. The last Australian-assembled Studebaker, in 1965-specifications, was bought and registered in October 1968. The Gippsland Vehicle Collection and Model World Maffra, 1A Sale-Maffra Rd, are open Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 10am to 4pm and every day in school holidays. Admission is $15 per adult, $10 concession and is free for children 15 and under. For more information, visit www. gippslandvehiclecollection.org.au or www.facebook.
