Calls for hastening on farm trespass laws:
Legislation is delayed Sarah Luke
THE state government has been accused of failing to introduce laws to better protect farmers against trespass, after seemingly stalling on legislation to impose on-the-spot fines. However, the government maintains work has been going on behind the scenes to get the legislation off the ground, with an estimated delivery by some time later this year. Last February, a parliamentary inquiry report was released recommending on-the-spot fines be implemented as a solution to stop extreme animal
activists breaking into farms, stealing livestock and threatening biosecurity. In June, the government announced it supported 13 of the report’s 15 recommendations, including the on-the-spot fines, however legislation for the fines has still not been implemented. Eastern Victorian MLC Melina Bath brought the issue of illegal farm trespass and animal activism to state parliament at the beginning of 2018, and an upper house inquiry was established in May 2019. Referring to New South Wales’ bolstered Biosecurity Act, adjusted in July 2019 to include on-the-spot fines for farm trespass beginning at $1000, Ms Bath said other states had already
enacted similar laws, so there was no excuse for Victoria’s protracted delays. “Farmers deserve to feel safe in their own homes, but Victoria’s weak farm trespass rules embolden extreme activists to break the law, instead of deterring them,” she said. In March 2019, a law-breaking activist received a fine of $1 in court after livestock was stolen from the Gippy Goat Café in Yarragon in March 2019. The café was attacked multiple times by activists and subjected to sustained online abuse, eventually closing in April. Gippsland South MLA Danny O’Brien said farm invasion took a heavy emotional toll on farm GP1619925

families and their employees. “These farms are not just a business,” he said. “For the people who live on them, they’re home,” Mr O’Brien said. “The Andrews Labor government continues to let down our farmers, it’s refused to prioritise seasonal worker shortages for crop harvesting and it’s failed to protect our livestock farmers and their animals, despite the inquiry’s recommendations.” In June last year, then Agriculture Minister Jaclyn Symes announced the state government would introduce on-the-spot farm trespass fines “with a view to making fines for this behaviour Continued page 5

AUSTRALIA Day is more than a public holiday — it’s the perfect opportunity to pause and reflect on what has made our nation successful, and the determination we have to overcome any challenges. But what makes Australia such a great nation? Other countries have beautiful environments, there are many other democracies in the world and we’re not the only nation that has brought together many different cultures in a largely harmonious society. In my mind, it is the people of Australia that make us exceptional. The past year has been a challenging one for our region with the devastating summer bushfires, followed by the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic. I couldn’t be prouder of the way our

restriction levels will allow for many Australia Day celebrations to go ahead, and I’m encouraging everyone to get involved in some way. “More than ever, now is a great time to get out and celebrate the things that make our country great, while also spending tourism dollars in the towns that desperately need our support.� Mr O’Brien said that there were many events planned throughout Gippsland to celebrate Australia Day, hosted by community groups. “These events are a chance to celebrate the people who make our region special and to welcome new Australians who are going to make our community
even stronger,� he said. “Citizens of the Year will be recognised across many towns in Gippsland South on Australia Day. “These people have worked tirelessly to make our region a better place to live. “I also want to thank those groups and local councils that are hosting the community celebrations and making this public recognition possible. “I hope all my constituents enjoy their Australia Day and remember the privilege that is being Australian.� More about local Australia Day events, page 3

region responded and we need to keep putting locals first, supporting one another, and building an even better Gippsland. Throughout our nation we are blessed with millions of people who volunteer in a wide variety of organisations to serve their community. Some of these people will be acknowledged with awards on Australia Day, but they don’t serve their communities to seek recognition, and in any case, the award winners are only the tip of the iceberg. So many Australians donate their own time to quietly and diligently support their community every day of the week. On Australia Day we should thank them all and commit ourselves to keeping that tradition alive. It is a tradition based on mateship, helping
others who need a hand, and the need to feel part of something bigger than our own lives. If you’re not already a volunteer for a local organisation in Gippsland, why not make 2021 the year that you sign up to help make a difference in your community? By volunteering to support a community or sporting organisation, you are making a statement that you care about the future of Gippsland, Victoria and Australia. Finally, at a time when much of the political and media commentary focuses on what’s wrong with Australia, we should try to count our blessings more often. As we cast our eyes around the world and witness stories of the pandemic, death and destruction in other countries, we should be
thankful for the largely safe and secure community we share. That’s not to say there aren’t problems and things we would all like to change but as a nation, we are heading in the right direction. By working together, we can address challenges like poverty, homelessness, Indigenous disadvantage, family violence and any shortcomings in our government services. We can all do our bit every day to make sure Australia remains the greatest nation in the world. So this Australia Day, take the time to reflect, respect and celebrate our nation’s people, and all of their achievements. Australians all let us rejoice, for we are one and free! — Gippsland MHR Darren Chester

Correction
In the article ‘Billions of dollars in projects in pipeline for Gippsland: Jobs boost expected’ (Gippsland Times 19/1), the carbon capture project at Golden Beach was incorrectly attributed to GB Energy, instead of CarbonNet. GB Energy is the Australian company developing the Golden Beach Gas Project. This project involves initially increasing domestic gas supply by drawing down on a gas field. It will then transition to storage operations where gas will be removed and added to meet market demands. The company says this will allow operators to better address fluctuations in demand, decreasing the risk of market disruption and helping to reduce domestic natural gas prices. CarbonNet is a state and federal governmentfunded project to find ways to capture and safely store carbon dioxide from fossil fuel industries. The error was made by a journalist.

The new Bill Cane Living Collection garden will be a themed garden that recognises and celebrates the important local nurseryman. Sale Botanic Garden was established in 1860 and is the only 19th century botanic garden in Gippsland. The Growing Victoria’s Botanic Gardens grants program aims to enhance the botanic gardens across Victoria with grants to rejuvenate the gardens and grow their important role in conservation, education and community wellbeing. The program was launched last year, and will provide nearly $4 million over two years. In its second round, 26 gardens across Victoria shared in $2.42 million. Most of the gardens in this round are in rural and regional Victoria, where they make a significant contribution to the local tourism industry.

ONE of the most preeminent public gardens in Gippsland, the Sale Botanic Gardens, will receive some upgrades to ensure it remains one of Wellington Shire’s biggest tourism drawcards. A state government grant of $130,200 has been awarded to Wellington Shire Council, as part of the Growing Victoria’s Botanic Gardens grants program. The money will be spent on rejuvenating the sensory garden, and developing the ‘Bill Cane Living Collection’. Rejuvenation of the sensory garden will include repairing paths and raised garden beds, and redesigning the plant collection which focuses on horticultural therapy — intended to stimulate the five senses and help people reconnect with plants. Established in 2000, the sensory garden aims to appeal to the senses of sight, sound, smell and touch. The development of the Bill Cane Living Collection will expand the garden’s eight living collections and provide examples of the plant breeding achievements of Mr Cane. Born in 1911, and made a ward of the state by age eight, Mr Cane discovered his passion for botany and apiary during his schooling at Sale, but expanded his knowledge greatly while living on a farm at Little Plain, near Valencia Creek. He established Clearview Nursery on Brewer’s Hill, outside of Maffra, in 1947, and began propagating and experimenting, achieving results formerly thought impossible. He introduced several new plants into the nursery trade — manipulated hybrids and naturally superior forms of species found in the bush and propagated from cuttings. He also contributed plants to several arboretums, and established one which bears his name at Boisdale Consolidated Primary School. Banksia canei was named in honour of Mr Cane — one of many previously unknown plants he found and provided record of to the state. Some of his other plants are Callistemon Father

Free bushfire training to help care for pets and wildlife
FREE online training has been released to help Gippslanders prepare their pets for bushfires. Animals are often the forgotten victims in bushfires, and World Animal Protection wants to help people plan ahead to protect their pets and farm animals, as well as help injured or displaced wildlife during emergencies. In collaboration with experts in veterinary care and animal emergency management, the animal welfare organisation has released free online training. The training is best suited to people with little to no experience in helping injured wildlife and who want to learn the basics, like including pets and farm animals in emergency plans, and responding after a bushfire. World Animal Protection Australia executive director Simone Clarke said there was an outpouring of compassion for animals during the 2019-2020 summer bushfires, but many were unsure how to best help wildlife and protect their pets and farm animals. “We know people want to help out on the ground, and we hope this training will give them the knowledge to do just that while also building community resilience for future bushfires,” she said. The training takes about 15 minutes to complete, as participants hear from Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital founder and chief executive Dr Stephen Van Mi, and Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital foundation vet Dr Bree Talbot. The training is available via www.worldanimal
Volunteers Christine Cater, Stacey and John Hutchison, Maxine Parr, Michelle Robinson, Anthony Ward, wildlife shelter operator Theresa Matthews, Tara Hyland, Peter from Macalister Fencing, John Cassidy, Bill Laky, Ted Ameer Beg from Golden Beach Mens Shed, and handyman Guy Johnson have given their time and energy to erect 300 metres of ringlock fencing in time for the kangaroos’ arrival.
Volunteers step up for roos A BAND of kind-hearted volunteers from as far away as Melbourne are doing their bit for local wildlife to help them on their rehabilitation journey. When wildlife advocates Theresa and Tony (Scruff ) Matthews from Our Haven Wildlife Shelter bought a new home on acreage, they faced a massive dilemma — how to relocate their 23 kangaroos in care to a property without enclosures. After a fundraising campaign and a call to arms, it didn’t take long for the wildlife-loving community

to step up to the challenge. For the past few weeks volunteers have been helping Macalister Fencing with the task of building 300 metres of fencing divided into three pens to house the roos. Theresa said the generosity of the public and the assistance had been incredible, allowing her to relocate to their new 33-hectare block to continue to rehabilitate the mostly orphaned kangaroos and keep them safe from harm.
“I just want to say a massive thank you to the local community for the support, and to the volunteers who have been at my house for almost 24/7 to help us achieve our dream of a property where our kangaroos can be safely rehabilitated and released,” she said. “This has been a dream come true, and without the public’s help we couldn’t have done it.”
Animal Aid needs helpers ANIMAL Aid Gippsland needs volunteers to help with a range of roles at its Fulham facility. Help is needed on the dog support team, with duties including walking dogs on and off site, cleaning kennels and working with Animal Aid staff to facilitate dog training. The cat support team needs people to make toys and socialise with the cats in their modern shelter. Front of house and reception staff are also needed to answer phone calls and undertake administrative duties. Those who would be able to run errands, collect animals from local veterinarians or empty the donation bins in Sale are also being sought, as well as gardeners to help maintain the upkeep of the Animal Aid complex. Animal Aid is also on the lookout for people with veterinary experience who might be able to assist with vet checks on Wednesdays. Volunteer of 10 years, Cath Macdonald, encouraged those interested to get involved, saying her time at the shelter had been “very rewarding”. Animal Aid Gippsland is at 111 Hopkins Rd, Fulham. Phone 5144 5940.
Amimal Aid Gippsland needs more volunteers to help care for animals such as three month old kitten Harper. Animal Aid volunteer Cath Macdonald (pictured), who has been with the organisation for 10 years, says volunteering is rewarding.

Music festival cancelled
THIS year’s Sale Music Festival Picnic on the Green will not go ahead this year, organisers citing the large numbers of Grey-Headed Flying Foxes in the Sale Botanic Gardens environs. The annual free community event was to have been held on the Sunday of the Labour Day long weekend. The festival has become extremely popular since its inception, highlighting a wide variety of local Gippsland musical talent and attracting people from far and wide. It also provides an opportunity for community groups to fundraise. The committee, made up of volunteers, thanked the many people who had contributed to the event, and looked forward to continued support in the future. “We have not taken this decision lightly, but due to the huge colony of bats in the botanic gardens, it’s impossible to hold our event,” a spokesperson explained.

island swelled to tens of thousands, as they “camp” in the area before heading off to feeding grounds. Listed as threatened, the flying foxes are protected and are important for pollinating native trees and dispersing seeds, playing a key role in the maintenance of forest habitats. They fly up to 50 kilometres to feeding grounds to feast on nectar and pollen. Many people are surprised to find out the mothers feed their
pups milk. Typically, the flying foxes stay for a time before moving on. While some residents suggest the numbers are already decreasing, it is anyone’s guess as to when they might decamp. The flying foxes have become somewhat of an attraction in the lakes Guthridge, Guyatt and botanic gardens area, with people heading off to watch the spectacular dusk fly-off, also hoping to spot a pup clinging to its mother.

Consultation on a directions paper for a new Animal Welfare Act closed last month, and the government is currently considering industry and community feedback. The new framework will ensure the welfare of animals and support Victoria’s animal-related sectors, by maintaining public and consumer confidence that animals in agriculture are being treated humanely.

Ongoing professional development is then required annually for Dental Prosthetists to keep their license with the APRA (Dental Board).
New shed!
Visitors are being warned to avoid the area of the entire length of Golden Beach towards Flamingo Beach, and 500 metres out to sea. The dead whale was reported about 4.30pm Wednesday afternoon.
we personally construct your dentures, in house. It is important that you do seek out a Dental Prosthetist as our teeth play such an important part of our general health & wellbeing. If dentures do not fit properly they can cause ongoing health issues such as sore jaws, headaches, muscle soreness & weight loss. It is also important to understand that the Digestive System begins in the mouth. Teeth are an important part of that digestive system so that we are able to mix enough saliva with our food to dilute gastric juices. We need our teeth!
What does this mean? They are highly trained professionals who work solely on the process of Dentures!
Still have questions? Pop into the clinic and speak to our qualified Dental Prosthetist, Paola Torres today! Referrals are not required and she would love to chat with you and answer any questions you may have at no cost, no strings attached!

From page 1 among the heaviest in Australia.” South Australia’s maximum penalty for aggravated farm trespass is a $10,000 fine or 12 months imprisonment, while Western Australia’s is two years’ imprisonment and a $24,000 fine. New Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic had caused disruptions to the sitting of parliament, but several recommendations had still progressed, and more engagement across government and industry was expected to take place this year. “This work takes time to make sure we get the balance right and it meets the needs of industry,” she told the Gippsland Times. The government supports on-the-spot fines, but the introduction of relevant infringeable offences requires legislative changes through parliament. The government’s response to the inquiry noted the mechanism and design of the offence would be considered as part of a future review of Victoria’s existing biosecurity legislation, to be informed by arrangements in other jurisdictions, such as New South Wales. The government is considering changes that can be made to existing legislation to address the issue in the short term. Legislative changes would be consulted on during 2021, and would come into effect after legislation passes parliament. The Agriculture Strategy, released in December 2020, sets out the Victorian government’s intent to deliver a single consolidated Biosecurity Act for Victoria. It will provide modern, flexible regulation that

New community house home and hosed own space. “Moving into this new venue has allowed us to really deliver the work that community houses do, which is supporting the community,” she said. “It’s allowed us to act more as a drop-in space for people that need or want company, or need referrals to services and just reach a wider population in Loch Sport.” Ms Roberts paid credit to the hardworking volunteer committee,particularly secretary Eleanor Speed,who had helped move the community house out of the hall. She added the benefits of the move were already showing. “The accessibility of this location has been a huge
highlight for the community house,” she said. “We are more central in town, so people do drop in. “We have a really comfortable lounge for people to sit down and have a cup of tea and have a chat.” Community houses run a number of activities such as yoga,arts and crafts and computer skills,and also assist health and wellbeing. “We work with the community to develop skills and activities and events that they would like to do,” Ms Roberts said. “We provide a lot of support to people, but they can come in and openly chat about what’s going on in their life and we can then recommend or tell them about services that are available.
Showgrounds shortcut to close MOTORISTS who use the Sale Showgrounds shortcut from McGhee St to the Sale-Maffra Rd will no longer be able to from midnight tomorrow. Sale and District Agricultural Society will close the roads within the showgrounds to through traffic from midnight Wednesday, January 27. The gates at the end of McGhee St will only be opened for events within the showgrounds. Those wanting to attend Sale Greyhound Club will still have access, but must use the Dawson St entrance next to the railway line. Society president Laurie Jeremiah said the group was forced to implement the change because of significantly increased through traffic, and drivers exceeding the speed limit within the property and failing to stop and give way at the appropriate signs. “The Sale Showgrounds is private property owned and operated by the Sale and District Agricultural Society,” he said. “We are a community not-for-profit organisation run by volunteers — we foster agricultural industries and interests.”

LOCH Sport now has a new community house. Residents celebrated with a ‘housewarming’ last Wednesday, sharing a meal and officially marking the opening of the venture. The new facility is a converted holiday house, and is a huge upgrade from the previous community house which was a ramshackle space in the town’s public hall. In keeping with the holiday house feel, the new space features a Fiji-inspired backyard, with palm trees and the word ‘bula’ marked out in stones on the pavement.

Destination Gippsland chief Terry Robinson said last year was difficult for live music, with events cancelled, travel restricted and venues closed across the country. â&#x20AC;&#x153;... it was also a difficult one for the community of Mallacoota, who were working to rebuild after last summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s devastating bushfires,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic to see Mallacoota selected to host such an exciting event, and we encourage visitors to take the time to explore this very special place.â&#x20AC;?

THE inaugural Art Textile Biennale 2020 will be held at East Gippsland Gallery from Friday, January 22 until Saturday, March 6. With a prize of $6000, this open entry exhibition has attracted applications from across the globe.

Just 29 artists from 16 countries were selected to exhibit their work in the competition. Exhibition curators, Glenys Mann and her business partner, Nonie Sutcliffe are directors of Fibre Arts Australia.

Originally performed at the Melbourne Fringe Festival in 2011, Stratford Courthouse Theatre will bring the performance back for two nights only on Friday, February 5, and Saturday, February 6, from 7.30pm.

The final designs for Latrobe Regional Hospital’s planned expansion have been released.
A first look at LRH’s $217m expansion
THE final designs for the $217 million major expansion of Latrobe Regional Hospital have been released. The designs reveal a first look at the hospital’s exterior, grounds and internal fit-outs, which have been carefully considered to create a welcoming atmosphere for patients and families. The expansion will deliver a new emergency department resuscitation bay, three operating suites, six intensive care unit beds, 44 inpatient beds and a medical imaging and pathology unit. Maternity services will also be expanded with the addition of two new birthing suites, six maternity beds, six special care nursery cots and a children’s play area. The expansion will create 600 jobs during the peak of construction, and once complete will allow for an additional 6200 elective surgeries per year. A $73 million expansion of the Latrobe Regional Hospital (stage two) was completed in 2017 and delivered 30 new acute inpatient beds, 12 new short stay beds, a new emergency department and Gippsland’s first cardiac catheterisation laboratory. Construction of this next stage will begin this year, with the expansion expected to be completed in 2023. Health Minister Martin Foley said the expansion would “meet the needs of a growing community — increased capacity and purpose-built treatment spaces ensuring patients don’t need to travel for complex procedures”.
REGISTRATIONS for Clean Up Australia Day are now open at cleanup.org.au To be held on Sunday, March 7, the event is Australia’s largest community-based environmental event. Last year, COVID-19 restrictions significantly changed human behaviour, with knock-on effects for local environments. There has been a surge in single-use disposable items, such as takeaway coffee cups, food packaging, masks and sanitised wipes; all of which have polluted parks, bushland, streets, waterways and beaches. In response to COVID-19, additional conditions will be put in place to ensure the health and safety of clean up volunteers, including limited volunteer numbers per event, and the event kits now include QR codes for registration on the day, hand sanitiser, bags and gloves for every volunteer.
Those who can’t join a clean up event are being urged to make a donation to Clean Up Australia, with 100 per cent of money raised allocated to the provision of educational resources and clean up materials provided free of charge to community, school and youth groups across the nation. In addition to Clean Up Australia Day, Business Clean Up Day will be held Tuesday, March 2 and Schools Clean Up Day on Friday, March 5.

Gippsland Grammar awards this scholarship every year to a Year 7 student. Outgoing Lorna Sparrow Scholar was Lemoni Japhary, who graduated from Gippsland Grammar last year with an ATAR of 96.55, placing her in the top five per cent of students in the state.

Rare and beautiful MGs are on display at the GVC in Maffra GIPPSLAND Vehicle Collection is renowned for exhibiting incredibly rare vehicles with great stories, and it is delivering strongly on that reputation with its current display of racers (competition vehicles). In a museum full of highlights, the display of three accomplished, rare and beautiful MGs, on loan from Marguerite and George Morgan, is particularly special. A 1932 MG J3, a 1931 C-type Montlhery Midget and a 1933 MG K1 in K3 Mille Miglia Specification are currently on show side by side in Maffra’s GVC showroom. Mrs Morgan said it was significant to be able to see these three cars all together, because two of them in particular were quite historic in terms of the MG marque. In 1932, the J3 broke three 24-hour and distance racing world records for a 750cc supercharged car in Class H at Montlhery in France. The C-type, driven by Hugh ‘Hammy’ Hamilton, placed third in the Double 12 race at Brooklands in 1931, and has an extensive racing history in the United Kingdom and Ireland. And with only one C-type in the whole of Australia (44 were manufactured and about 24 are still in existence) the MG trio is well worth a visit to the GVC. The Morgans imported the K3 to Australia in concours condition in 2012. It is one of a small number of six-cylinder
Three rare and accomplished MGs on loan from George and Marguerite Morgan can be seen at Maffra’s Gippsland Vehicle Collection for the next month. From left, a 1933 K1 in K3 Mille Miglia specifications, a 1932 J3 and a 1931 C-type Montlhery Midget. supercharged competition cars produced in 1933 and 1934 that were based on the concurrent MG K-series Magnette chassis.
“Only 33 examples were produced and on their first outing, three works K3s took the team prize at the 1933 Mille Miglia, also winning the 1100cc
class,” Mrs Morgan said. She said demand for the MG K3 had always outstripped supply, so world-renowned MG expert, the late Peter Gregory, built a limited number of “exacting re-creations” of the racing variants. The one on show at the GVC is one of the early re-creations made, using K3 parts. “It features an OHC 1408cc six cylinder supercharged engine, fully rebuilt with new Phoenix crank and rods, Cosworth forged pistons and the correct K3 two gallon finned magnesium lightweight sump; a heavy duty larger Armstrong pre-selector gearbox and a Marshall nose mounted supercharger, plus 13 inch brakes, with hydraulic operation,” Mrs Morgan said. “Built to a very high standard, this is a particularly fine example in exceptional condition.” The racers exhibition will remain on show until the end of February, and features many interesting vehicles including cars that competed at Bathurst in 1966 and 2020, a Brabham original and an Edelbrock Special. The Gippsland Vehicle Collection, at 1A Sale Rd, Maffra, is open Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays, and every day during school holidays, from 10am to 4pm. Entry costs $15 per adult, $10 for concession holders and is free for children aged 15 and younger.

NOW in its eighth year, the Sheila Malady short story competition invites wordsmiths from all over the world to be inspired by the words of William Shakespeare. Competition organisers are encouraging writers to produce an original work of 2000 words or less by taking inspiration from the phrase: “Cowards die many times before their deaths” — Julius Caesar, act II, scene 2 After a year of so many cancellations, organisers of Stratford’s Shakespeare on the River Festival were delighted to receive a great number of entries in 2020, especially from locals and young people. They said they hoped to build upon the momentum in the new year, but writers have only until mid-March — “that fateful day upon which Caesar found his own death” — so those interested should sharpen those quills and get writing.
There are prizes across three categories. First prize includes $300 cash, two tickets to a performance of the community play Julius Caesar and a beautiful wooden quill crafted by local artist Gavin Roberts. The local prize, for a writer living in Gippsland, includes a Collins Bookstores voucher, plus two tickets to the community play. The final category is for a young writer aged under 18, who will also receive a book voucher. Closing date for entries is Monday, March 15, at 11.59pm. There is a $5 entry fee. Winners will be announced at the opening night of the festival at The Stratford Courthouse Theatre on Friday, April 23. For the application form, full terms and conditions of the competition and to check out past winners, visit stratfordshakespeare.com.au

Looking across the seasons:
Webinar discusses Gld farming from summer to autumn
AGRICULTURE Victoria is inviting east Gippsland farmers to a free seasonal webinar on Thursday, February 4, from 1pm until 2pm. Agriculture Victoria’s drought and fire recovery coordinator, Nick Dudley, said the event would discuss current animal health and farm management issues and provide opportunities for discussion about the season ahead. “While the webinar will provide targeted advice for north east and east Gippsland farmers recovering after fire and drought, it is open to all interested farmers,” he said. Climate specialist Dale Grey will discuss how La Nina has historically affected the following years’ rainfall, why summer and autumn are notorious times for climate predictions and what the models are predicting for the next three months. District veterinary officer Dr Jeff Cave will speak on how summer brings its own set of potential animal health issues (including the possibility of heat stress), seasonally related livestock health issues Agriculture Victoria has been seeing, what farmers should be anticipating and how to best manage them. Land management extension officer Martin Hamilton will demonstrate the new summer water calculator tool — how it works (size and shapes of dams, number and classes of stock drinking requirements) and what the calculations mean (current dam volume, days and weeks of water remaining, evaporation). Those interested should register by Wednesday, February 3, before 5pm via acrosstheseasons. eventbrite.com.au
Login details and copies of the presentations will be emailed out before the webinar. A phone-in only option is also available. For more information, phone east Gippsland agriculture recovery manager Keren Walker on 0477 706 384 or email firerecovery.agriculture@ agriculture.vic.gv.au

Improved seasonal conditions boost Gld’s average farm profit
GIPPSLAND-based farm profit was positively influenced by improved spring rainfall and increased beef price received, according to data collected and analysed in the 2019-20 Livestock Farm Monitor report. More broadly across Victoria, farm profit was positively influenced by higher gross farm income and lower costs, compared with the previous year. Agriculture Victoria farm business economist Sam Henty said the positive results were influenced by strong lamb, mutton and beef prices, and increased availability of feed. “Despite an average reduction in stock weight sold per hectare, strong lamb, mutton and beef prices, coupled with an increased quantity and value of stock and feed on hand, resulted in increased gross farm income in 2019-20,” he said.

Seasonal conditions improved for many farms in central, south and west Gippsland across 2019-2020, allowing farmers to capitalise on better pasture growing conditions, but no such seasonal relief was experienced in east Gippsland. File photo

in Gippsland, south west Victoria and northern Victoria were surveyed as part of the project. “Overall, average farm profits saw an increase in each region in 2019-20 after two consecutive years of decreased profits,” Mr Henty said. In 2019-20, average Gippsland farm profitability rebounded from the lows reported in 2018-19. Seasonal conditions improved for many farms in central, south and west Gippsland. Repeated years of poor seasonal conditions in these sub-regions led many producers into forced sales and destocking. Conditions in 2019-20 offered some respite in these sub-regions, and producers used better pasture growing conditions as an opportunity to rebuild herds by retaining trading stock. As a result, the average quantity of livestock sold reduced in 2019-20. Average gross farm income rose to similar levels recorded in 2016-17, and well above the 10-year regional average, as the reduction in sales quantity was offset by strong beef prices and increases in livestock inventories. No such seasonal relief was experienced in east Gippsland, as the third consecutive below average winter and spring rainfall culminated in large scale bushfires during early 2020. The compounding effect of drought and fires meant surveyed farms in east Gippsland further reduced already run-down livestock numbers to match decreased feed availability. Variable costs remained comparatively low as east Gippsland farms spent minimal amounts on fertiliser and supplementary feed. Reduced livestock inventories decreased gross farm income and farm returns. On average, expenditure on pasture increased in Gippsland, with the largest pasture cost being fertiliser. Businesses that experienced improved pasture growing conditions increased fertiliser application rates and used excess pasture as an income source, from either agistment or feed inventory gain. On average, the surveyed farms in Gippsland spent more on fertiliser per hectare than the rest of the state. August and September 2019 were the peak months of parturition in sheep and beef
respectively. Consequently, spring represented the months of highest feed demand. Improved pasture growing conditions during this time resulted in a high proportion of grazed feed in the average animal diet and allowed producers to reduce purchased feed quantities and costs. Surveyed farms in Gippsland recorded the highest average overhead costs per hectare. Overhead costs will not change in the short term, even if no production takes place. Of the studied regions, Gippsland has the smallest average effective area managed. High overhead costs per hectare on smaller area farms is commonly because of lower labour use efficiency, which results in high permanent and imputed labour cost relative to the area operated. Product quality, farm system, marketing strategies and luck all influenced the price received of the major products sold in 2019-20. The differences in managing these factors is highlighted by the variability in price received across all farms for fine wool (13 per cent), lamb (19 per cent) and beef (18 per cent). The results of the annual survey provide a valuable sample of farm-level data for industry and government. Data collected from farm businesses includes farm income and costs for the financial year, trading and breeding details, feed input and production, fertiliser and labour inputs and a complete stock, feed, land and farm machinery inventory, including all farm assets and liabilities. Mr Henty said once the data had been collated and analysed, participants would be provided with detailed information on their financial and production performance. “They can use this information to understand the cash, profit and wealth position of their business to inform on-farm decision making and help to build business resilience,” Mr Henty said. Limited places are available for the 2020-21 Livestock Farm Monitor project. Individual farms and farm discussion groups interested in participating should email fmp. victoria@agriculture.vic.gov.au for more information.

Jersey Australia will host its annual conference at Warragul in May.
Jersey conference in Gld JERSEY Australia will return to an in-person annual conference in 2021, with a four-day event in May based at Warragul. The 2020 annual meeting was moved online because of COVID-19, and other major rural events such as agricultural shows, International Dairy Week and Sungold Field Days have been cancelled in early 2021. But Jersey Australia is confident the May conference can happen and expects strong interest
from members keen to return to live events. The conference, held from May 25 to 28, will begin with the inaugural Dairy’s Finest Showcase Sale at Kingsville Jerseys, featuring about 25 of the best Australian Jersey cows. There will be a live auction, but cows will be presented in photos and videos, and won’t be there in the flesh — reducing the traditional costs for vendors and removing the need to prepare and transport animals.
Reducing the risk of scours in calves
CALVES are the future of herds. Therefore, keeping them in the best of health is of paramount importance. A scours outbreak can be time consuming, expensive to treat and, if not managed correctly, can result in significant losses. Scours is caused by an interaction between the environment, health of the calf and the presence of disease-causing agents (pathogens), which include bacteria, viruses and protozoa. While the pathogens’ actions vary, their effects are consistent — a loss of fluid and electrolytes associated with diarrhoea leading to dehydration, weakness, and in some cases the death of the calf. To reduce the risk of calf scours in herds: •Minimise contact between young calves and potential sources of infection by avoiding wet, muddy areas or areas with manure build up; • Maximise colostrum intake by avoiding calving difficulty (dystocia) and poor early bonding. Calves from heifers are most at risk. Any calf that has not suckled within six hours of birth should be supplemented with colostrum; • Avoid stress, poor nutrition and overcrowding; and • Avoid the introduction of new calf scour
The sale committee and vendors will extensively market each lot online in the lead up to the sale. The annual meeting will include herd visits to the Wallacedale, Kings Ville and Araluen Park studs and more, as well as visits to some of the area’s local attractions. The conference will finish on Friday at the Mercure Warragul with the Jersey Australia annual general meeting.
Biosecurity survey
GIPPSLAND’S farmers have been invited to share their views on biosecurity through an online survey. The Understanding Victoria’s Biosecurity System Survey, from Agriculture Victoria, seeks to understand attitudes and knowledge of Victoria’s biosecurity system to improve preparing for and meeting future biosecurity challenges. In 2020, six farms tested positive for three different strains of avian influenza in Victoria — the largest avian influenza outbreak recorded in Australia and the most significant biosecurity event in Victoria for the past 20 years, highlighting the importance of a strong biosecurity system. Taking part in the survey lets farmers have their say on issues ranging from potential biosecurity threats and impacts, to what could be improved. The results from the survey will be published online, and will inform the development of future biosecurity initiatives. The online survey takes about 15 minutes to complete, and is open for submission until Thursday, February 11. To complete the survey, visit wmsr.com.au/agvic
pathogens into the herd by not replacing dead calves with bobby calves from other properties and not introducing recently bought animals into the calving herd. Control measures should be applied quickly when scouring calves need treatment, as diseases can spread rapidly if pathogen build-up is not addressed. Move all pregnant cows to new calving paddocks and do not put any new calves with affected cows and calves. To successfully treat a scouring calf, supportive therapy is needed to counteract the effects of diarrhoea.The most important aspect of supportive therapy is to give an adequate quantity of fluids and electrolytes to replace what is lost in the diarrhoea. The use of antibiotics may be appropriate, but only under veterinary advice. A key to the success of treatment is to commence it promptly at the first indication of adverse clinical signs. If these steps were followed, producers should enjoy a trouble-free calving season. For more advice, phone a local veterinarian or Agriculture Victoria veterinary or animal health officer. — Agriculture Victoria district veterinary officer Dr Jeff Cave

Bulls jump into SMCA top four From page 28. French chipped in with 22 from 36, with his innings also featuring a number of boundaries. The dismissal of Wynd kept Collegians in the game until the death, when Munasinghe and Whitford were able to hold their nerve. Remarkably, the margin was identical to the last time these two teams faced off - only on the previous occasion earlier this season it was Collegians who claimed victory by one wicket. Hurley bent his back all day and took 4-16, while Tom Morrison (2-14) and Mark Nichols (2-32) took multiple poles. Interestingly, Collegians played the oldest trick in the book by naming Adrian Burgiel as designated nonbatter in an effort surely to get him qualified for finals. BOISDALE-BRIAGOLONG had a huge win in the context of its season, defeating Stratford by three wickets. The win ensured the Saints remain only one game outside the top four and also continued something of a recent hoodoo for Stratford, as in the past three seasons the Redbacks have lost to Boisdale-Briagolong in every game after Christmas. Batting first at Briagolong, Stratford closed at 9-173, helped by 60 from captain Taylor Tatterson. Tatterson is certainly suffering no hoodoo on an individual level against the Saints, having scored 300 runs in his past six hits against them. Redbacks coach Cormack Hassett scored 39 after shuffling down a few places in the order. Wickets were shared for BoisdaleBriagolong, with Todd Mann (2-20), Dylan Bolton (2-38) and Jonny Lash (2-43) getting in on the act.
The Saints made harder work of the chase than they would have liked, but got through eventually. Bolton top-scored with 34 and the coach would have been pleased to see the job wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t left to one or two players. Michael Roberts and young Mason Annear each made 22 to assist the cause. Andrew Tatterson took 3-31 for Stratford. SALE got the job done against Longford. The Lizards put in a good effort making 137 against the reigning premier, and saw some good individual performances. Kerrod Macgregor-Davies made a terrific 56, while wicketkeeper Coen Durbridge made 28. Lucas Mowat (2-15) and Ben Jones (2-27) took wickets for Sale. The Swans found a half-century of their own from Daniel Padula, who scored an unbeaten 58 to guide the team to the finish. Only a year out of juniors, Padulaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innings could be the making of a long term opening bat. Hayden Glover also made runs, scoring 32 as Sale won with eight wickets in the shed. MAFFRA maintained top spot on the ladder with a nine-wicket pumping of Rosedale-Kilmany. The Warriors were rolled for 116, which the Eagles chased within 30 overs. Rosedale-Kilmanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line-up disintegrated fairly rapidly after most of the top order got starts before getting out. Josh Davis led the way with the ball, taking 4-22, while Zac Kearns (2-15) and David Griffiths (2-20) added to their tallies. Brett Lanigan (53 not out) and Daniel Bedggood (31) then made short work of the chase.

GO SEVENS CHAMPIONS CROWNED In Friday’s Gippsland Times
Seaspra ay event a summer smash AFTER AF F postponing its annual tournament because of the heightened COVID-19 risk around New Year’s Day, Seaspray Tennis Club conducted its popular event on Saturday in ideal summer conditions. The change of date affected player numbers, but allowed organisers to ensure everyone played as much tennis as they wanted to, given gii there are only four tennis courts at the club adjacent to the Seaspray Public Hall. Sale, Maff ffr fra r and Yarr rram r were well-represented, as well as visitors from Melbourne. Five brave juniors played alongside the senior players, with first time entrant Kalani Little from Maffra taking out the junior prize from another first time player, Allison Falconer from Seaspray. In the women’s draw, Sale player Jo Rule went one better than last year to add her name to the winner’s trophy, with Maffra’s Sarah Little coping well with the hard court rtt to take second place.

Steve Turner from Yarram now has his name on the McNaughton Family Perp rpetual p Trophy twice, after narrowly defeating Terry Flynn, Maffra Lawn Tennis Club’s president. Seaspray Tennis Club life member Gregor McNaughton was on hand to present the winners with their trophies. All Although the Seaspray Tennis Club is not fielding any teams in the Wellington Gippsland Tennis Association summer pennant competition, there is enough demand from local residents and holiday makers to continue to run the annual event and utilise the facility. Seaspray Tennis Club has been running the tournament for almost 40 years during the Christmas-New Year holiday period, with plans already in action for next year’s event. The club is also running casual twilight tennis on Wednesday evenings for anyone interested. For more information visit the Seaspray Tennis Club Facebook page or phone the secretary on 0407 468 303.
Bulls enter SMCA top four Liam Durkin BUNDALAGUAH jumped into the top four on the Sale-Maffra Cricket Association ladder at the weekend. The Bulls scrapped over the line by one wicket against Collegians, chasing 133 with 13 balls to spare. Gayashan Munasinghe and Nathan Whitford were the heroes, putting on 19 for the final wicket. The pair showed great resilience, getting the required runs in singles, twos and a couple of threes in a 47-ball vigil. Earlier in the day, Collegians found handy
contributions from a number of players, but the home team was unable to press much of an advantage and was bowled out in the 33rd over. Zac Hurley and Jayden Allison looked set after putting on 37 for the opening wicket, but the dismissal of Hurley for 23 from 27 balls saw wickets fall at regular intervals thereafter. Munasinghe found immediate success when he was introduced into the attack, taking the wickets of Hurley and Allison in his first four balls. Jake Wynd and Lachlan Floyd were also busy, taking 2-29 and 3-24 respectively. Floyd dismantled the College middle order, and went to the top of the league bowling aggregate in the process. The situation appeared dire for Collegians at

8-99, yet some smart batting by Tim Dessent, who remained unbeaten on 22 from 23 balls, allowed them to scratch out a total of 132. Munasinghe finished with 3-28 and Whitford took 2-28 after coming back for his second spell. Bundalaguah would have hoped to take momentum from its bowling into its batting, however, things quickly took a turn for the worse. Noah Hurley had the new ball zipping around, and took two wickets in his first three overs to leave the Bulls reeling not long after at 4-19. An uncharacteristic 47-ball knock which only yielded 14 runs from Steve Spoljaric gave a good indication of how well College was bowling in the
conditions, and when the Bulls fell further to 7-51, Collegians’ 8-99 all of a sudden looked like a decent effort. Enter Jake Wynd, who came to the crease in the 18th over and produced arguably his best and most important innings in a Bundalaguah shirt. Partnering with Nick French, who provided some revolutionary resistance, the duo put on 60 for the eighth wicket to see the Bulls get within striking distance of the total. After being told to simply “see ball hit ball” this season, Wynd did just that, whacking 44 from 32 balls with five fours and a maximum. Continued page 27.
