Minister Crean urges region to ‘tap into’ $1b package A $1 BILLION federal fund could help the region’s coastal areas combat climate change, according to Regional Development Minister Simon Crean. Mr Crean visited Torquay this week to attend a Coastal Councils Conference at The Sands golf resort with around 200 delegates from around Australia. He used the conference of council and community representatives to spruik the Federal Government’s Regional Development Australia Fund. He told the conference he wanted a “better vision” for regional Australia and suggested the fund could help address issues related to coastal erosion, climate change and developing sustainable industries. “The funds are for projects that help skill Australia, lift productivity, maximise the opportunity of broadband, sustain our environment, promote social inclusion and improve water and energy efficiency,” Mr Crean said. “The allocation of this funding will be competitive, merit-based,” Mr Crean said. Applications to the first round of the fund for grants up to $100 million close on May 13. Organisers said the annual National Sea Change Taskforce conference brought together local government authorities, policy makers and researchers to discuss key regional development issues facing coastal communities.

BY KIM WATERS RESIDENTS have welcomed a new residential development at Clifton Springs but fear a proposed bridge to the land could ruin their quiet streets, according to an objector. John Boland said the residents of Bayshore Avenue and Kewarra Street were worried about the bridge directing “hundreds” of vehicles past their homes each day. “We aren’t against the development. The land was always going to be built up and, honestly, we think it’s marvellous, so nobody is worried about that. “The concern is the position of this bridge and its effect on the neighborhood.” Mr Boland said residents gathered a petition with 244 signatures against an initial 2008 plan for the bridge over Grigg Creek to Clifton Springs’ Jetty Road growth area. But a new sign on fencing at the end of Bayshore Avenue recently announced the resumption of the bridge approval process. “The reason we were against it in the first place was that the streets are too small to be considered a main road out of the estate.” Councillor Rod Macdonald assured residents that “a number of provisions” in planning for bridge would help maintain the amenity of their neighbourhood. The provisions included road network designs to “discourage” traffic other than local vehicles from using the bridge, he said. The bridge would also be off limits to heavy construction traffic. Cr Macdonald said a bridge planning permit application would probably go to a hearings panel after council attracted 35 objections.

Shop in rotunda ‘win’ A PORTARLINGTON op shop has moved back into the town’s rotunda as it fights to retain residency against plans for a tourist information centre and “eco shop”, council has revealed. A council spokesperson said the District Hospital Auxiliary Op Shop had resumed occupancy

after upgrade works forced it out of the historic building last year. The spokesperson said council was to choose who would win the five-year lease on the rotunda but the op shop was secure in the building until August. City Hall would complete an “assessment of the premises and rent to be charged” before the temporary lease expired, the

spokesperson said. The Independent revealed in August that the op shop faced competition for the lease from a push to establish the information centre and eco shop. Bellarine Community Health chief executive John Fendyk was keen for the op shop to remain in it’s home of 35 years, saying running the outlet could be unviable

if it had to operate elsewhere. The location at the rotunda had been a “significant” part of the shop’s success in raising community funds for the health service, he said. “I wrote seeking an additional extension beyond the existing lease period and have not received any confirmation to this request. “The issues of continuing to

operate the opportunity shop are around the capacity for the service to continue if the auxiliary have to pay a commercial rate for a premise. “This could possibly (make) it unviable to continue, as the revenue raised varies depending on the support and people visiting throughout the year.” But Portarlington Community

Association president John Turner called for “more discussion” before council extended the op shop lease. “From a community association point of view, before anyone makes any decisions about whether the op shop goes back there the (eco shop) idea should be canvassed to the community to see what they want,” he said.

Three little pigs ‘blow away judges’ THREE little pigs helped Jack and Jill fetch a pail of victory at last weekend’s Lara Food and Wine Festival, according to organisers. They said Leonie Mills brought home the bacon to her Jack and Jill Restaurant in Geelong when she beat five other leading chefs from around the region in the festival’s inaugural Ultimate Chef Challenge. Ms Mills whipped up a dish she called Three Little Pigs at a barbecue in 15 minutes to win the challenge. “I was extremely happy to be a part of the challenge,” Ms Mills said. “It’s great to be part of an event that showcases local producers.” Organisers estimated a record crowd of about 10,000 patrons attended the third annual festival, which featured more than 80 exhibitors. Organising committee member Libby Bate was rapt with the result. “The festival proved once again to be a fun family day out,” she said. The Independent is a sponsor of Lara Food and Wine Festival.

There’s a strong possibility we’ll commence the new construction at the end of year.” Mr Cook said the project would replace the stadium’s Doug Wade stand with a new facility worth up to $34 million by early 2013. The club would put $2 million into the project but also take a $1 million hit due to reduced ground capacity, he said. The club would seek opportunities to redistribute as many of the 6600 Wade stand seats as possible elsewhere within the stadium. The redevelopment would

The club submitted an extensive stage three redevelopment proposal as part of Australia’s failed World Cup bid. The club has previously said a redevelopment of the stadium’s northern end, including lights, could be pushed back to stage four but would depend on federal funding. The stage four proposal also included a sport museum, a sports medicine centre and improved facilities for Cricket Geelong.

Cheeseman slammed over buy-back option Coastal Councils Conference in Torquay this week. Senator Ronaldson said Mr Cheeseman had promoted the coastal land buy-back scheme to move residents off their properties. “Darren Cheeseman and the LaborGreens axis of Julia Gillard and Bob Brown must want to put the Geelong region on a course to disaster,” he said. Senator Ronaldson called on Mr Cheeseman to clarify how much compensation would be available for compulsorily-acquired properties. “Who will pay for the compensation

to property owners and where are the properties Mr Cheeseman wants to compulsorily acquire on the Surf Coast and along the Bellarine Peninsula?” The conference covered implications of population growth for Australia’s coastal regions such as risk management and quality of life. Mr Cheeseman said land buy-backs for properties at risk of threats such as rising sea levels were a last resort option because of the cost. “Senator Ronaldson’s comments are just dopey mischief-making, the very thing people don’t want from their

political representatives,” he said. “What we should be doing right now is focusing on prevention rather than cure and taking effective action against climate change through pricing carbon and putting in place a market-based mechanism to reduce carbon pollution. “Our region will be one of the most affected by climate change and as a leader in renewable energy and product design and manufacturing there are a lot of trades, production and research jobs we can secure for our region from being on the leading edge of the new low-carbon economy.”

POLICE are hunting a man in his late teens after he allegedly wielded a knife while trying to rob a milk bar in Sharland Road, Corio, on March 19. A Victoria Police spokesperson said the would-be robber fled empty handed after the 19-year-old attendant “produced” a baseball bat.

Channels seat FORMER Geelong mayor Ken Jarvis has secured a seat on the board of Victorian Regional Channels Authority, State Government has announced. Ports Minister Denis Napthine said Mr Jarvis, who also serves as chairman of health insurer GMHBA, would help oversee the authority as it provided advice on a $2 million feasibility study into moving Melbourne’s car shipping trade to Geelong. A WOMAN lost her unborn 30-week-old baby after her car left Geelong’s bypass and plunged into the Barwon River last Friday, according to police. A police spokesperson said the 29-year-old woman escaped the sinking vehicle with head and internal injuries.

TWO FISHERMEN swam to shore while another pair clung to a capsized vessel after a boating accident in Corio Bay’s outer-harbour on Tuesday night. Police said a rescue unit rushed to the men at the boat, with a 32-year-old from Indented Head later treated for mild hypothermia.

‘Psycho’ wrestles with title challenge as entertainment BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN HE’S BEEN knocked out, had more stitches than Joel Selwood’s lip, suffered torn back muscles and fractured ribs. Norlane pro wrestler Danny Psycho smiles when it’s pointed out that he appears to be living up to his stage name. Danny – also known as Daniel Gibbons, laid back panel beater – happily concedes the game is staged. “But when you see the blood, it’s real,” he said. Danny had a year off due to a shoulder dislocation problem, working hard in the gym to build it up so he could wrestle again. The holder of two championship belts will defend his Professional Championship Wrestling Entertainment state title in Geelong next week. Danny gave a wry smile when asked to rate his chances of retaining the title. “Pretty good,” he said. Would he know beforehand? “Yes.” Danny started wrestling when he was 12 after play fights with his brother in the backyard threatened serious injury. His father enrolled both at Slam Training Academy, which was normally restricted to students aged 18 and over. “They took us because we already knew all the moves. We were the first kids allowed to join the academy,” Danny said. Ten years later he is one of a new breed of young wrestlers in the resurgent sport. “People like watching wrestlers get thrown around. It’s also part of the popularity of kick boxing and UFC on television,.” Danny admitted. Danny had his first professional bout at 14, wearing a mask to hide his youthfulness. That was also when he gained his Psycho nickname, he said, “because of all the crazy stuff I would do”. “We did little shows in front of 30 or 40 people to get used to performing in front of people and learning how to play to a crowd.” Danny now wrestles in front of crowds of 400 or 500, although he conceded the financial rewards were still low. “I do it for fun. You couldn’t live off the money wrestlers make.” Danny said he spent most nights in gyms working on his fitness and flexibility with kick boxing and Brazilian ju jitsu while avoiding alcohol and nights out on the town. Danny said the fragmented administration of wrestling, with its multiple promoters all working independently, was holding the sport back. “I doubt it will ever be unified but, without it, the sport won’t kick ahead.” Danny defends his title against Jacko Lantern at Norlane’s Centenary Hall on April 9.

Melbourne’s Collingwood before moving into an investigative role with the ethical standards department. Insp Gawne said his targets in Geelong would include theft from motor cars and burglaries, which increased 40.3 and 7.7 per cent respectively in the 12 months to January. “I’m aware it’s a pretty big and dynamic community with a degree of diversity across different demographics. There are a lot of good people down here, and think I’ve come to a place that’s very healthy.” Geelong Police Station said former area commander Inspector Gary Thompson would move into an “operation support role”.

Geelong, he said. “A lot of thefts, crime, drug behaviour and traffic issues are driven by the under-20s, particularly around Corio and Geelong,” Supt Pottage said. “The more interaction we can have with them the better.”

Supt Pottage said the other six officers, to arrive in May, would serve in detective and traffic management roles. Mr Baillieu told state parliament in March that Geelong would receive its “fair share” of officers.

BY ERIN PEARSON AN ALLOCATION of eight extra police to Geelong has drawn criticism and disappointment from both sides of state parliament. Labor Member for Lara John Eren accused Premier Ted Baillieu of “backpedalling” on a promise of 76 additional police, while Liberal Upper House MP David Koch said the region would remain “undermanned”. Victoria Police announced on Wednesday that Geelong would receive the eight new officers, while Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula stations would receive no additional staff. More additional police would go to other areas of the state, with Ballarat and Frankston to receive 25 and 35 respectively. Mr Eren accused Mr Baillieu of failing to deliver his 2007 commitment of more police for Geelong. “I’ve always maintained police numbers are a matter for police command and political interference would be inappropriate but I make this an issue because Mr Baillieu identified the shortfall and said he would fix that,” he said. “Now he’s in government it’s time to deliver. You can run but you can’t hide.” “I’m committed, I won’t let him go.” Mr Koch, Member for Western Victoria, conceded the allocation for Geelong was a shortfall but was still “grateful” for the eight extra officers. “I believe that whenever possible a greater number will come to Geelong,” he said. “When the Bellarine and Torquay police stations were redeveloped we were to have 16hour manned stations and, regrettably, outside the summer periods we don’t. “I would love to have seen a three, four or five in front of the eight but police operations know where their hottest spots are.” Geelong Superintendent Paul Pottage said two of the eight new officers had already arrived. They would focus “heavily” on combating youth crime in

She launched a discussion paper with options for mayoral elections. “The Victorian Government is responding to requests for members of the Geelong community to be able to directly elect their mayor,” she said. “The Geelong community

has articulated its desire for this change and now is the time to let us know how you wish to elect the leadership you want.” Mrs Powell said residents had an option of electing both the mayor and their deputy. “People are also invited to consider whether candidates for mayor or a deputy mayor should be allowed to also nominate as regular councillors. “I know the residents and ratepayers of greater Geelong are passionate about the leadership

BY KIM WATERS CELEBRITIES would be more likely to win Geelong’s first popular mayoral vote than an experienced civic leader, according to an Independent survey. Former Cats player and media personality Billy Brownless won more than half the vote in the street poll, with TV presenter Catriona Rowntree second and reigning Mayor John Mitchell third. The Independent sought voting preferences on the trio as State Government called for submissions on its plan to introduce a popular vote for Geelong’s mayor in 2012. Mr Brownless won 60 per cent of the vote, Ms Rowntree 25 per cent and Cr Mitchell 15 per cent, despite serving in his third consecutive year as mayor. One of the respondents who backed Mr Brownless wanted “a change because Geelong’s in a hell of a mess”. Another said: “Yay, Billy, we want him”. Ms Rowntree won at least one man’s vote because she was “a babe”. “Why wouldn’t every guy

Water â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hoonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; threat on bays BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN WATER hoons are spoiling the fun of boating enthusiasts across the region, according to local boaties. Breakwater Marineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wayne Gibbons said he regularly saw boat operators flouting laws banning them from shipping channels in Corio and Port Phillip bays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been boating for 25 years and I still see them mooring in the channel or too close to it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I saw a boat capsized by the bow wave of a big ship a few years ago. People donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realise the

power in those waves.â&#x20AC;? Independent fishing columnist Brian Long said he was aware of anglers in boats breaking the rules close to Alcoa Pier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes they can be chasing a school of fish and not realise theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a channel,â&#x20AC;? he said. A Transport Safety Victoria spokesperson reported 17 incidents of recreation vessels â&#x20AC;&#x153;interacting with shippingâ&#x20AC;? in the bays since October. Port of Melbourne Corporation and Transport Safety Victoria were running a Steer Clear campaign to educate boat operators on

the dangers of using shipping channels, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recreational boaters are reminded to always steer clear of ships. Small craft are prohibited from impeding the passage of ships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ships can weigh up to 100,000 tonnes and do not have brakes, they cannot stop or change course suddenly and will travel a long distance before stopping.â&#x20AC;?

BY KIM WATERS GEELONGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S pint-sized bookworms will help attempt a record next weekend for the most children reading together with adults, according to organisers. The Victorian branch of Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Book Council of Australia aims for 350 children at Deakin Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Waterfront Cafe. BIG Read organiser Christine Oughtred said the Geelong readers would connect via satellite with other participants in Ballarat and Melbourne. The event needed more than 3234 children across the state to break last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record, Ms Oughtred said. The record attempt was all about encouraging families to read together, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want kids to have fun

City’s carbon tax ‘catastrophe’ fear TACKLING climate change could be “catastrophic” for Geelong, according to Mayor John Mitchell. He warned a commission promoting the Gillard Govern-ment’s proposed carbon tax in Geelong last Friday that action to reduce carbon dioxide emissions must be

“carefully crafted”. The commission visited Geelong for the first of a national series of “conversations” on climate change. “We recognise that action must be taken to address climate change but it must allow our business to remain competitive on a

global scale,” Cr Mitchell said. “We must ensure that products manufactured in Geelong don’t have to be produced elsewhere in the world with much more detrimental carbon emissions.” Cr Mitchell said manufacturing accounted for half of all revenue generated in Geelong.

Ink Tattoo Studios

BY ERIN PEARSON LARA train tracks have become illegal dumps for building material and asbestos, according to the state’s Environmental Protection Authority. EPA’s south west manager Gavan Mathieson said the dumps were growing as home renovators and lazy professionals sought cheap and easy ways to dispose of waste. Mr Mathieson said piles of bricks, rubble, plaster, asbestos, corrugated iron and “general demolition waste” were visible from train carriages passing Lara.

Opens In Breakwater Following his passion for art led Gene Gardiner to set up Ink Tattoo Studios in Geelong. Gene said he had been to Geelong to service a growing customer base for some years and recently decided to set up here. He leans heavily on his Maori background in which use of tattoos is closely associated with the traditional culture. “In Maori culture tattoos all tell a story about where we come from, what we do and who we are. “These days tattooing has becoming mainstream, a lot of people are looking for custom work. “Because I have a background in traditional forms of art, such as drawing and painting, I specialise in custom tattoos. “As a freehand artist anything I do is guaranteed to be original. We even have our own paintings and artwork displayed and some of it is for sale.” Gene and his local tattoo support tattooist, Sherie, will host guest spots from other international and local artists. Ink Tattoo Studios offers a full range of tattoo services and can cater for anything from a small name to a full, realistic portrait.

10 Tanner St Breakwater Ph: 5222 5283 www.gusart.com.au

“We’re receiving at least one (report) a week in the Geelong office of illegal dumping. Lara’s a hot spot,” he said. “If you take the train trip up and back (past Lara) you can see all the illegal dumping happening. “People are trying to cut costs because it’s expensive to dispose of. It’s a challenge for everyone.” Mr Mathieson said the EPA believed people were dumping along the train lines because they were often unfenced and unmonitored at night. V/Line’s James Kelly said train operators saw everything from building materials to unwanted

mattresses dumped alongside the tracks. Dumping waste beside the tracks was a safety risk, he said “What concerns us is the railway is a live, dangerous environment with trains going past at speeds of more than 100km/h. Under no circumstances should people be entering the reserve. “We’re aware of the problem and we work closely with EPA to try catching people dumping rubbish. We regularly patrol the rail line looking for people illegally dumping rubbish several times a week.”

Dumping ‘off rails at Lara’

A CHANCE meeting has become a shot at glory in the region’s premier talent quest for three young singers. Jamie Pye, Sharn Redman and Stacy Thomset plan to compete in the group section of this year’s Powercor Star Search after meeting at an open-mic night in Drysdale’s Potato Shed two years ago. The year nine students from three different schools finished second at last weekend’s Drysdale Bunyip Festival Battle of the Bands with their group Caipra. They now plan to audition this month for a place in the Star Search grand final in Geelong’s waterfront Costa Hall on May 3. The trio will compete against the cream of the region’s young

Model citizens: Norm Hatherly, Bob Julian, David Mann and Colin Klein with one of their group’s working models. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 62127 engineering and allied handicrafts to meet and exchange ideas on various aspects of their craft, be it design, work methods, experimentation, tools or equipment.” Last week’s meeting featured displays of three model boilers, two model steam engines, a differential engine harking back to1896, an early 20th Century steam pump, a table engine, a steam locomotive and a tool sharpener and cutter. David said models were often designed to overcome patents as clever inventors tried to find alternatives for performing similar tasks without being sued. Many of the Geelong group’s models, which dated from the industrial revolution, were smaller versions of the large and powerful units that formerly ran textile, automotive and

power industries. The range of exhibits was also a record of the history of industrialisation and engineering. David explained that members made all the components, often using wooden patterns to cast parts, machining the castings and painstakingly crafting all the accessories. “Most members have private workshops and one member has his own foundry,” David said. “What we do often covers all the engineering disciplines. Some of these are long-term projects of four to five years.” Members quipped that their skills often had domestic applications once they heard the common call of “Grandpa will fix it”. David said the experimental part of the group’s name was also instructive as one member was experimenting with com-

puter numerical control (CNC) machinery – the basis of robotics – and another was toying with electric and hydrogen cars. The group also took OHS seriously. “They’re working models, so we have to ensure safety is paramount, just as you would in industry,” Colin explained. The Geelong club was affiliated with similar clubs in Melbourne and Bendigo where the collective membership ran annual displays. The club also plans an exhibition for a National Trust Heritage Festival in April along with other groups based at North Geelong’s Osborne House More information on GSMEE is available by phoning 5277 0580 or emailing geelongsmee@fastmail.fm.

They were unaware Planning Minister Matthew Guy had announced the new unit until the media release announcement.

MOST models don’t work – or at least, not much. But all the models of Geelong Society of Model and Experimental Engineers are working exhibits. It would make sense to think that members of GSMEE are all involved in engineering in some way. But they include among their ranks a marine biologist, a clerk, an apicultural officer, a train driver and a boiler attendant as well as a fitter and turner, a tool maker and an electrical engineer. Group secretary David Mann said the models were built to a scale of 1/12th or smaller. Members fascination with models mostly sprang from the satisfaction of making them coupled with the joy of sharing the experience. “If it’s been built, someone somewhere will make a model of it,” David explained. The group formed 16 years ago from shared interests with the idea of providing a platform for people who tended to craft away in their own workshops. “If we didn’t have this club our models would be in the dark gathering dust probably,” president Colin Klein laughed. The club formally states its official reason for existence as: “To provide an opportunity for persons having an interest in experimental science, model

Psychic ‘predicted’ TattsLotto win A PSYCHIC’S prediction finally came true when a retired Lovely Banks couple won more than $2 million in TattsLotto on Saturday night, according to one of the winners. The man, who did not want to be identified, said the windfall followed years of waiting for his prize to materialise “When I was a young man a fortune teller told me I would

win top prize in Lotto in my older years,” he said. “I always believed it and have been playing TattsLotto since the game began.” The couple discovered their Superdraw win when they returned late from a party on Saturday night and checked a mobile phone voicemail from a friend who had agreed to call them with the winning numbers.

“We started jumping around the house screaming with excitement and generally carrying on like nuts,” the man said. The party resumed soon after. “We called the friends we had been with…and they came over and celebrated with us into the early hours of the morning,” the man said.

letters Ducks unfair game

$ Choc Queen Bed

599

THE 2011 duck-shooting season has begun and on the first Saturday I saw two so-called sportsmen in action. A female duck was trying to lead her seven oneto-two-day-old babies and her mate to safety on a lake where there was none. The family of ducks was swimming in a straight line on open water when two shooters drove their motor boat up behind them and strafed the entire line, hitting the adult male duck at the back and on through all seven ducklings to the mother at the front. Two Department of Sustainability and Environment officers were witnesses and said simply: “They’re just ducks”. What hope do our wild birds have if the mere few employed to protect them from such cruelty just don’t care? Due to a late breeding season this year, hundreds of other ducklings will be left orphaned and unprotected in the killing fields where if not shot they will soon die from starvation or predation. It’s time the Victorian Government stopped pandering to a vocal minority in an effort to secure votes in marginal seats and banned this undeniably cruel so-called sport. Lily Taylor Highton

AT A public forum in Geelong last Friday Climate Commissioner Tim Flannery said he came to listen to local people on climate change. However, the forum resembled more of an oldtime revival hour than a forum for people to express their views. Hot-gospeller Professor Flannery and his panel of fellow climate change evangelists constantly pressed for urgent action to be undertaken to fight the dreaded evil of climate change. Questions were given cursory answers without indepth explanations. The audience was given a stilted view of climate science. Did the Climate Commission come to listen? Balderdash! The public consultation was a whitewash, a charade, a sham. Prof Flannery and his panel were here on a mission, a public relations exercise. They came to town to push the need for a carbon tax to maintain the line that the science is done and dusted and all we need do is focus on finding solutions. The interests of Australians are not well-served by such a narrowly focused zealot-approach to climate change. It’s disturbing to think Prof Flannery and his travelling climate change salvation show will, at taxpayers’ expense, be repeated many times as he and his prophets of doom transverse the nation over the coming months.

Think of the children

Water SALE e g a m a D

IT’S OBVIOUS Alan Barron thinks climate change is bunk (Letters, March 18) and that any action is a slippery slope to communism but the irony of his vision of a future in which draconian tax and government regulation take away our fancy technology is that it’s exactly the kind of world our children will get if there is no carbon tax. Why? If we selfishly, stupidly, maintain our present rates of economic growth, consumption, pollution and over-population, our civilisation, like many others before it, will hit a wall. In fact, if you’ve been paying any attention to world food prices and the increasing oil price we’re starting to hit it now. The erratic and worsening climate will only serve to makes things much more serious. Instead, we need a vision for a better future in which our kids and their communities can live sustainably and with economics that operates within the bounds of Earth. There are so many benefits for localising rather than globalising, not least of which is that it’s about visioning a happier, more-fulfilling future, not a bleak one. Many of us are starting this process right now. In the end, a low-energy future is guaranteed - it’s just our choice on how we get there. Goshen Watts Transition South Barwon

OFFICERS paid to talk about big problems have been stopping us from using lakes and many other areas for recreation for years. When someone is next heard worrying about an environmental issue they should be asked whether it’s a threat or an opportunity. For too long we have heard people being paid to worry us about threats when many of us, as applied environmental scientists, focused on solutions. Many of the algae blooms in recreational lakes can and should be managed, not left, like the Greens suggest, in a no-touch zone. Algae will form part of our energy future when departments employ scientists and not narrowly focused, problem-driven project managers. John Modra Colac

letters 1000 reasons not to act PROFESSOR Tim Flannery said on radio that all the carbon dioxide emitted by the industries of the world would take 1000 years to have any effect. In this case there would be over 4000 climate changes and over 90 generations of humans would have lived before what we are asked to do today had any effect. Up to this point there has been public investment of over $8 billion for what? Carbon tax investors will ask for their money back when they appreciate they have been misled. Yes, the climate has changed because our Earth’s orbital position has entered the eighth sector of the Sun’s positive heliosphere, triggering the beginning of a magnetic cyclic routine in which the heliosphere emissions began reacting with each other within Earth’s magnetosphere. This final, dramatic cycle began to change on February 15, 2001, and will come to a slow end on December 22, 2012. I ponder deeply the damage of arrogant people who have spent enormous amounts of money that could have been applied to the betterment of humanity. The money-grabbing talons of government institutions have appealed to the public to accept a carbon tax for what it will do for people’s health. They are actually doing it to pay off their debts with tax receipts at untold expense to our industries and the public. We should totally protest this fraudulent tax because, as Professor Flannery said, it will not have any effect on our Earth for 1000 years. Thomas T S Watson Bell Post Hill

High arrogance THE arrogance displayed by federal Environment Minister Tony Burke in seeking to overrule the Victorian Government’s decision to return cattle grazing to the high country for a trial period beggars belief. With just a few weeks to run, he demanded the experiment be cancelled and the cattle removed, no doubt to appease Bob Brown and the Greens who will fear the results of the study will come down in favour of grazing. How else can this decision be interpreted? What knowledge would Mr Burke, a Sydney lawyer, have of the value or otherwise of reducing fuel loads in the higher reaches of the Victorian

mountains? Would he understand that keeping herbage and grasses short and generally green in summer can save from decimation vulnerable, less-fire-tolerant native species, as occurred several years ago when they were hit by wildfire? The removal of cattle was purely an ideological argument based on emotion, a misconception that cattlemen were exploiting the forest and the pretext that cattle were damaging the sphagnum moss beds, which are still surviving after 100-plus years of grazing. The Bracks Government totally ignored the good management of the former Forests Commission and the protection cattle provided by keeping undergrowth at manageable levels in the event of fire.

Rare praise for shire NORMALLY I am one of the many writers expressing my outrage at Surf Coast Shire on issues like the Jan Juc footpaths, Spring Creek development, the 2040 plan, the palace for new shire offices and the plans for Bells Beach. Usually I am disheartened and worried about the decisions and plans coming out of Surf Coast Shire. But I need to give credit when credit it is due, so I would like to congratulate and thank the shire for building the community an amazing playground at Jan Juc’s Bob Pettit Reserve. Affectionately known as the orange and blue playground, each time my children and I visit it we love playing and discovering new things. The shire has thought about the inclusion of all abilities, which is such a refreshing change. The new little-person table and chairs are just brilliant and my son and I look forward to having a snack there soon. Let’s hope I can congratulate the shire on more positive decisions in the future.

Rory plays a world of blues BY ERIN PEARSON THE secret to success is never saying no, according to Drysdale bluesman Rory Ellis. The singer-songwriter will squeeze in four more Australian performances before jetting off to mix with musical talent in the UK, Germany and Switzerland on another tour of “everything and anything”. Ellis said the universal appeal of blues helped him connect with audiences whether he was playing at a prestigious festival or in some “God-awful” venue overseas. Ellis found his start in the UK in 2004. “I’ve been doing it there ever since. The music scene over there is great,” he said. “There’s a festival on every weekend, so you can find yourself in all parts on the country. “I’m also a bit of a history buff, so I love travelling around over there. Don’t know much about it [history] but I like looking at it.” Ellis said his “strict Catholic upbringing” gave him a great appreciation for people from all walks of life. “Mum took Catholicism to a whole new level. I used to church-dodge and take the football out for a kick,” he laughed.

“But I think it gave me a good sense of humour. The British have a very warped sense of humor and we’ve got a fairly dry sense of humour, so when I travel we seem to go well together.” But despite his love of travel, Ellis said Australia remained his home. “Australia had a lot to offer, too. I love playing here just as much but the music scene these days is a global village. I did the Shetland Island Festival a few years ago off the coast of Scotland and that was amazing, people from all over Europe came together. “I kept thinking ‘S..., how did I get here?’ “I think the secret is to never say no. No matter what you do musically, someone will like you.” The country blues artist is now touring his fifth studio album, Perfectly Damaged. Ellis said fans could expect a “cruisy and acoustic” performance this time around. “My music is humorous and laid back. I’m not one of those trying-to-hang-your-testiclesoff-the-stage performers,” he joked. Rory Ellis will perform at Ocean Grove Festival on Saturday.

MOTHERS DAY LUNCH 507222-TB13-11

BY ERIN PEARSON AFTER close to a decade working in television, comedian Shane Bourne will return to stand-up during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s Geelong sideshows. Bourne, who has starred in television’s City Homicide, Thank God You’re Here and MDA, said he was “looking forward” to getting back into standup after so long away. “I’m looking forward to getting back into the land of ha-ha,” he joked. “I didn’t realise how much I’ve missed it until now.” Bourne, who will also host the 2011 Logie Awards next month, said the transition from television back to comedy had been refreshing. “As a performer you really relish not having to deal with preconceptions,” he said. “There’s no editing room in stand-up because it’s in the moment, no one gets in your road and says ‘you can’t do that’. “We’re all in a room experiencing it together and there’s something really healthy about that.” The Melbourne International Comedy Festival will venture south-west every weekend throughout April to The Studio in Geelong. Bourne will appear on stage this Friday and Saturday night along with fellow Australian comedians Greg Fleet, Des Dowling and Peter Sharkey. Bourne said he was looking forward to testing his new material on Geelong audiences. “I’m not quite sure how it works. All I know is I’ve always enjoyed stand-up, even when it was rough and tough,” he laughed. “Geelong is a big town and it’s got a pretty good reputation in the performing and arts community and there’s going to be some good people on. “I’ve always found in years gone by that regional towns had better audiences. Maybe it’s because they’re not as stuck-up up and strict with what’s politically correct. “Their audiences were always up for a good night.” The Independent and The Studio are giving away a double pass to each show on the Geelong comedy calendar. Readers who want to enter can befriend the Independent on Facebook at www.facebook.com/indy.newspaper to go in the running for weekly ticket giveaways.

READER’S RECIPE

Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.

Using a pair of scissors, cut each jube into thirds, then cut each piece in half. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla. Beat to combine.

Sift flour over butter mixture. Add oats. Stir to combine. Using 1/4 cup mixture per ball, roll mixture into 8 balls. Place 2 balls, 10cm apart, on each prepared tray. Using the palm of your hand, flatten each ball into a 1cm-thick, 8cm (diameter) round. Press 15 jube pieces into each cookie top.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, swapping trays halfway through cooking, or until golden. Cool on trays for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining balls and jube pieces to make 8 cookies. Serve.

INGREDIENTS (SERVES 6) > 20 (1/2 cup) jube lollies > 125g butter, softened > 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar > 1 egg > 1 teaspoon vanilla extract > 1 1/4 cups rolled oats

Both of the performers were raised as country boys, with McAlister born in Narrabri and Kemp in Kempsey. After trips to the US and Canada respectively, they found their way back to Australia where they met each other and were cast to perform in Aussies Walk The Line, a tribute to Johnny Cash. The pair gelled as songwriters and McAlister Kemp was born. Tickets to the McAlister Kemp performance cost $40 for dinner and the show or $20 for the show only. Patrons are advised to keep an eye out for what’s coming up at Gateway Hotel, with management promising something to suit everyone.

new general practitioner clinic with friendly, experienced staff and convenient opening hours will open in Corio on Monday. Doctor Ganes Kunjidapaadhum says First Point Medical Centre has five consulting rooms, a treatment room, onsite pathology, a big waiting area and ample parking space. The new centre will help cope with a “huge shortage” of doctors in the Corio region. “We’ve all worked in Corio and wanted to come back here,” Dr Kunjidapaadum says of the staff. “My wife, Dr Swati Mitra, wanted the practice to be set up here because it has real need. The hue and cry in the media recently for doctors in this area has definitely not gone unheard.” Dr Kunjidapaadhum says the

Dr Ganes Kunjidapaadhum centre will initially have three doctors, with potential for further expansion. Some of his former colleagues are interested in “special interest” sessions at the site, including acupuncture. Dr Kunjidapaadhum says First Point Medical Centre has vocationally registered GPs with inter-

ests in various specialities. The centre offers comprehensive family care for: child, adolescent, men’s, women’s and refugee health; acute and chronic disease management; minor operative procedures; periodic medical examinations; taxi, driver and aviation medicals; adult, childhood and travel immunisations; and mental health. Dr Kunjidapaadhum says his colleagues Dr Mitra and Darren Loo are “friendly, easy to talk with and experienced”. “The centre is also bulk billing and we offer an after-hours service for the community.” First Point Medical Centre is open 8am to 6pm on weekdays and 9am to 1pm on weekends and public holidays at 30 Cox Road, Corio, phone 5274 9090.

Spring cleaning your diet I LOSING

t’s that time of year again for the reappearance of weight loss fads in which the importance of “detoxing” your body is deemed essential to health and well-being. It may be tempting to think you can undo overeating with a rigid diet and some herbal powders and supplements. The truth is the human body does not need to be detoxed or cleaned out because the kidneys and liver do a perfectly good job of this on a daily basis. The after-effects of drinking and eating are not toxins but new layers of fat at the waist gathering around the heart, kidneys and other vital organs and possibly clogging arteries. The body stores fat deposits as a survival mechanism for lean times. While too much fat is a definite health hazard, it’s not a toxin that

WEIGHT WITH MANDY FISHER can be flushed from the body by taking a laxative, extra vitamins or diuretic herbs in a detox plan. We don’t need extra fat stores if we haven’t got a famine. We get rid of excess fat by eating less of almost everything. Restrictions should be on drinks that contain sugar – including juices – and alcohol. Many detox programs suggest cutting kilojoules so far that the body simply goes into slowmotion mode. This means the

Big-block Corvette B

YEARS

Confession: Peter Baak says he loves his Corvette Stingray because it hugs the road well, it’s got the open top, has plenty of grunt and sounds good with the big V8. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 62252

ack in 1979, Highton’s Peter Baak didn’t set out purposely to buy a Corvette, it was a process of elimination that led to the classic American car. Peter had sold his Triumph Stag and was looking for a new convertible. “After I sold the Stag I went through the newspapers looking for cars for sale and couldn’t find anything I liked. “I looked at a 350 SL Mercedes, an Alfa, whatever was around at the time, I looked at. “I didn’t really like the Alfa that much. The Mercedes was a lot dearer and the cars we looked at were shabbier and needed a lot more work. “I didn’t want an MG again. I wanted something with a bit more to it,” Peter said. He eventually saw a Corvette and immediately liked the look of The Corvette, it suited the brief.

“So I started searching for a Corvette,” he said. Meanwhile in Melbourne, Peter Whiston was building his business Corvette Clinic. The firm specialised in left-to-right-hand drive conversions and to cope with the extra demand, Whiston wanted to build a new workshop, so to finance it he put his favourite Corvette on the market. Peter Baak saw the car. “It was his personal car and he had to sell it to raise the money to build his new workshop.

Nearly 5500 Corvette convertibles were built in 1973 with the 454cc (7.4 litre) LS-4 big-block V8 engine was an option delivering 275 bhp (205 kW), just 15 per cent of the cars were ordered so equipped. The 454 emblem adorns the hood of big-block equipped Corvettes. All models featured a new cowl induction domed hood, which pulled air in through a rear hood intake into the engine compartment, under full throttle, increasing power. The new tyre size was GR70-15 with white stripes or the oprional raised white letters. An American magazine stated in a 1973 road test that the Corvette equipped with the right options it is a pleasant car to drive and the 1973 example was one the best Corvettes ever built. Indeed Corvette performance did improve with the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;73 model and the car could do the standing quarter mile in 14.1 seconds crossing the tapes at 150km/h. After driving the car for a few years Peter decided to do a full restoration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started in 1989, it was a complete rebuild. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I rebuilt the engine, the gearbox, all new suspension, new paint and a new interior. The full restoration took nearly three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Chevrolet engine and the parts are still readily available. There is a huge after-market business in America. You can buy everything. You can build a complete car, down to the last little detail like the tyre pressure stickers that go on the inside of the door. All that sort of stuff. You can get everything,â&#x20AC;? Peter said. The car emerged from the garage in 1992 with new paint, Peter called a metallic watermelon red. He warns that while the Corvette is a classic, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drive the same as a modern car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 1973 car. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as comfortable and responsive as a modern car, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not sluggish, when you put the foot down it goes alright. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The steeringâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as good compared to a new car, but the Corvette is a classic and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I want to go somewhere fast I take my new Chrysler,â&#x20AC;? Peter said.

70s stytle: The steering is not as good as a modern car, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a classic. Pictures: Tommy Ritchie 62253 â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I want to go cruising around the coast I take the Corvette. I try to run it at least once a week, depending on the weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to take it out with the top up. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel right. You have to drive it with the top down, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that sort of car. It is a top-down car.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting the hood up before it rains is still a challenge. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not mechanical it has to be flipped over and locked down at the front and back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually the rain has passed before I can get the hood up.â&#x20AC;? Peter said sports car fans were divided about the perfect sports car. He said not every one liked the Corvette. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get your British sports car guys and the only sports car to them is a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pommy-builtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; car. And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the muscle-car guys who want nothing but the big sedans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Corvette is a bit in between. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My brother is a British sports car fanatic and to be a real sports car it has to be leaking water when it rains and underpowered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He calls the Corvette a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pimp mobileâ&#x20AC;?. But Peter had the last say about his Corvette Stingray: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love the car, it hugs the road well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the open top, it has plenty of grunt, and sounds good with the big V8.â&#x20AC;?

reakwater Marine’s Wayne Gibbons has seen many a corroded marine engine. Having been in the marine industry for more than 11 years, Wayne preaches prevention rather than cure to all his clients. After working for some of Geelong’s leading boating businesses, Wayne decided eight months ago to start Breakwater Marine. “I could see the need for another player in the industry, especially with the growing popularity of boating,” Wayne explained. Breakwater Marine specialises in older model marine motors and outboards. Wayne said he had seven years of training on Yamaha marine engines and familiarity and training on Honda motos as well. “The older engines can be harder to work on because they generally need more maintenance. “But if motors are serviced regularly they are easier to fix down the track. If you let an engine corrode in this harsh marine environment, it will only cost more the longer you leave it. “It’s a matter of safety, really,” Wayne said. “When a boat breaks down you can’t get out of it and walk home, like a car. “An unsafe engine puts your life at risk, especially if the weather turns nasty.” While Breakwater Marine specialises in outboard maintenance and repairs, Wayne will also tackle fibreglass and trailer repairs as well as fitting out marine electronics. Breakwater Marine is at Unit 2 53-55 Essex St Moolap, phone 5248 8480 or email breakwatermarine@hotmail.com.

Geelong Ring Road Section 4C Advisory Committee The Hon Matthew Guy MLC, Minister for Planning, has appointed an Advisory Committee under section 151 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to advise on the planning, consultation and approval arrangements for Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road. The Advisory Committee will also consider the relative merits and impacts (economic, environmental and social) of the approved alignment of Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road compared with any other alignments previously considered by Vic Roads, the City of Greater Geelong, or any other relevant government strategic planning investigation. The Advisory Committee’s tasks and process for conducting a hearing to consider these matters are set out in the Terms of Reference dated 22 February 2011. The Terms of Reference can be viewed on the Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD) website www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planningpanels by selecting ‘Current Planning Panels and Advisory Committees’. This review is to have regard to the function of the road to provide an east-west arterial road connection, and Barwon River crossing to service the southern suburbs of Geelong and Armstrong Creek, as well as the Bellarine Peninsula. The Advisory Committee is also to consider any additional remedial measures that could be incorporated into the design and development of the Section 4C alignment to address environmental and amenity impacts on existing and future residents. The previous Minister for Planning approved Amendment C232 to the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme which applied a Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO3) to enable VicRoads to acquire the land to construct Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road. The Advisory Committee will review this part of the Amendment. The previous Minister for Planning also approved as part of Amendment C232 to the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme the application of a Public Acquisition Overlay (PAO9) to enable the Department of Transport to acquire the land to construct the Armstrong Creek West Station and car park (south side). The Advisory Committee will not review the application of the PAO9. Background material for Amendment C232 is available on the DPCD website for information. Copies of this information will also be available for viewing at the following locations: City of Greater Geelong Customer Service Centre 131 Myers Street GEELONG Department of Planning and Community Development State Government Offices Level 4, Corner Fenwick and Little Malop Streets GEELONG VicRoads South West Regional Office 180 Fyans Street SOUTH GEELONG Or online at: http://www.dpcd.vic.gov.au/planningpanels/ The Advisory Committee invites submissions from any party with an interest in the planning of Section 4C of the Geelong Ring Road with regard to the matters set out in the Terms of Reference.

THE ORIGINAL

Coach faces former employer

Geelong seeks Freo ‘options’ BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG coach Chris Scott had some tough words for his players this week after the Cats had to come from behind in the dying minutes to beat St Kilda in a rusty season opener last Friday night. Scott demanded his players be “more flexible” on the field. “We want to move the ball faster. Players couldn’t capitalise when in key positions (against St Kilda),” he said. Scott said Geelong would need a bag of options on Saturday night when it took on Fremantle, where he was a former assistant coach. “It’s hard to get a gauge on where (Fremantle) is really at,” he said. “Knowing their strengths doesn’t make them easier to combat. Their good, young players stand up when the game is on the line.” Scott observed that Dockers ruckman Aaron Sandilands, small forward Hayden Ballantyne, captain Matthew Pavlich, David Mundy and Stephen Hill would give the Cats “a lot to deal with”. Full-back Matthew Scarlett will miss the game with a onematch ban after the AFL review panel found him guilty of elbowing St Kilda captain Nick Riewoldt. “We’re disappointed he put himself in that situation but if you get caught you get punished,” Scott said. “The rules are pretty clear in modern footy.” Scott said players for selection would include Paul Chapman,

Get up to speed: Chris Scott says the Cats will need greater flexibility against the Dockers. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 55062 James Podsiadly, Shannon Byrnes and captain Cameron Ling after all missed round one with niggling injuries. The Cats didn’t to rule out star midfielder Joel Selwood despite a nasty clash with St Kilda’s Farren Ray that put the Geelong vice-

captain out of the game. Selwood was carried off the ground suffering concussion and a torn lip. “He’s already put his hand up but we will back our medical staff’s decision later in the week,” Scott said.

Kenyan countrymen Daniel Mwelu and James Kipkelwon will join him at the event. Mwelu, 29, was runner-up in a 2009 Penang Bridge Marathon in Malaysia and won a Prishtina half-marathon in Thailand in 2006. Kipkelwon, 31, a former outstanding track runner in Kenya who is moving on to longer distances, finished seventh in China’s highly-rated Danzhou Marathon last year. The fourth member of the African squad, Nathan Kariuki, is Muturi’s training partner. Kariuki will take on the event after contesting a 6.5km Mizuno Marriner’s Lookout hill climb and a 14km Apollo Bay-Paradise run on the Saturday followed by a

23km half-marathon from Kennett River to Apollo Bay on the Sunday. New Zealander Jason Woolhouse, who last year broke Steve Moneghetti’s Apollo BayParadise course record, will also contest the three races against. Marathon director John Craven said organisers invited the four Kenyans for their toughness and renowned endurance. “The 45 undulating kilometers of the Great Ocean Road Marathon is not for the speedster chasing a world record time,” he said. “But it’s the world’s most spectacular marathon, offering participants the opportunity to run or walk the iconic Great Ocean Road traffic-free.”

Kenyan champ set to return for bid to reclaim marathon crown KENYAN Charles Muturi will spearhead a quality four-man African contingent in a Great Ocean Road Marathon and Festival of Distance Running on May 14 to 15, organisers have announced. Muturi, 27, who won the 45km trek from Lorne to Apollo Bay in 2009, will tackle the Great Ocean Road for the fourth time after visa issues delayed his arrival until 15 hours before last year’s race. The jet-lagged Muturi ran brilliantly despite a four-day journey from Nairobi to Melbourne but finished fourth after Geelong’s Mark Tucker won the event in record time of 2 hours, 29 minutes and 41 seconds. Muturi vowed to return in 2011 to win back the title.

sport New faces for opener GEELONG and District Football League kicks off its season this weekend with a full round of games. All the off-season talk has centred on East Geelong after it enticed a bevy of recruits. Coach Adam Skrobalak will have plenty of selection problems fitting in the talent at his disposal. Lucas Murphy and Jeremy Power have transferred from Barwon Heads and will make a huge impact, while Justin Bosely and Brett Connors are also ready-made senior players. Reigning premiers Bell Post Hill has re-appointed Brent Grgic as coach and will be hard to toss again this year. The Panthers welcome Chris Baxter to the club and report few player losses. Werribee Centrals coach David Leatch will hope for better luck this year after an injury-ravaged 2010 finished with a grand final defeat and expects a top-three finish. Bannockburn has stuck with Ross Dillon and Ron Pilgram as co-coaches, with new players Brett Harding and Shane Baker expected to have an impact. Inverleigh has picked up Jon Ansell, David Peel and Dean Muir and has looked good in practice games with a fast midfield playing good football. Anakie has a new coach in Daniel Gibbs. The Roos have also recruited Jason Reardon and Marcus Hildebrand

Local Footy FRANK MASON and will be looking to play finals footy. Belmont Lions has appointed new coach Paul Nigro and recruited Peter Carnovale and Jack Cadman. The Lions have battled since winning the premiership in 2007 and will start their long haul back up the ladder this season. Winchelsea also has a new coach in Ross Gemmill who will be supported by Andrew Leak. The Blues have been frustrating in recent seasons as they posses the talent to play finals but ends up just falling short. Geelong West, which has also had a few barren seasons, has re-appointed Chris Carlon as coach and brought in recruits Alex Denham and Tim Nash to help out. Corio has welcomed back Mark McDowell as coach and added some exciting youngsters ready to propel the Devils back into the finals. Keep an eye on recruit Robert Cornwell. Geelong and Bellarine football leagues begin their seasons next week.

Big time: Tracie Mitchell with a gummy shark from Corio Bay’s outer-harbour.

EVERY now and again a surprise capture comes along and last weekend I was the lucky angler. Fishing the Barwon River at Buckley Falls, small redfin were a regular catch until I saw a tail protruding from the water in a shallow run. Casting an Atomic shad lure resulted in an instant hook up on a golden perch, also known as a yellowbelly. Over the next hour I landed and released two more, the largest close to 4kg. It just went to demonstrate how you never know what can be caught from our local streams. West Barwon Reservoir has had little attention in the past few weeks, which is surprising with the number of rainbow trout available. Lures are best, particularly Tassie Devils and small, bibbed designs. Trout were also taken in the past week from Lake Purrumbete where mudeyes fished under bubble floats along the lake’s margins or trolling Devil-style lures in the gold colourations is productive. Freshwater reports came in from numerous lakes, with the sudden influx of water giving the fish new feeding grounds. I suggest trying lakes Newlyn and Hepburn along with Pykes Reservoir for both redfin and trout. Kingfish remained the talk of saltwater angling, with most fish taken from The Rip on both downriggers and leadlines. The hot lure has been the 23cm white Fjord squid rigged with a pair of 8/0 hooks.

Big belly: Brian Long with one of his surprise yellowbellies from Buckley Falls. While the average weight of each fish has been between 5kg and 8kg there have been reports of fish pushing over 14kg in the past week. Queenscliff also had salmon in good numbers, with trolled, small, white occies a popular method. However, anglers casting soft plastics into the surface action had better results. Gummy sharks were taken inside Swan Bay on the flood tides. Many were small but some nudged 8kg. Snapper were also being taken in Swan Bay but only late in the evening and after dark. Squid numbers continued to be excellent but all the better reports indicated the best fishing was in very shallow water, generally under two metres

and anywhere between Hermsley and Edwards Point. Small jigs generally no larger than size 3.0 were best. Andy Schmidt took young Charlie Kirkland for a session on the squid. After catching their bag limits they tried for flathead, with Charlie nabbing a nice fish of around 50cm. Catch of the week must go to Geelong and District Anglers Club member Tracie Mitchell who nailed a ripper gummy shark from the outerharbour on her new Silstar rod. Tracie also boated flathead, whiting and snapper in a session that showed up husband Brad, which is something I’m sure she does quite regularly. Stingaree Bay produced any number of snapper to 50cm on soft plastics but Phillip Jones caught his bag limit on squid.

Phillip found the action was red hot from first light up until around 9am. Joel Jeffries fished landbased from Point Lillias for a catch including snapper, whiting, pike and flathead. However, the hour-long session when a shoal of salmon showed up made the day, with Joel landing nine fish all around 1kg. Dale Moore fished the rocks at North Shore to find the snapper in good numbers. His biggest fish weighed just on 2kg, with all taken late in the evening on squid and salted bluebait. Xavier Knowles fished the Barwon River estuary for a nice bag of bream taken on shrimp and bass yabbies. Apparently the two hours leading up to high tide has been best. Salmon were taken in numbers from rock platforms between Lorne and Apollo Bay, with lures typically nailing the better numbers of fish. Bait anglers would do best with blue or whitebait. Anglers returning from Portland were raving about the fish available, particularly plenty of albacore to 27kg and bluefin tuna of a similar weight. Anglers should remember the bag limits of five albacore and two bluefin, only one of which can exceed 120cm. Rapala X Raps and darkcoloured, skirted lures no longer than 20cm have been successful. This weekend’s best bet should be the shallow grass beds between Clifton Springs and Edwards Point for squid. For whiting, try Point Lillias withing 100 metres of the shore for the best results. Freshwater anglers should cast lures at West Barwon Reservoir through the middle of the day. Send reports and photos to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Avenue, Manifold Heights.
