Assaults in homes ‘surge’ ahead of anti-violence event

Our domestic blitz BY ANDREW MATHIESON DOMESTIC assaults in Geelong have increased “significantly” as the city prepares to mark an international day opposing violence against women, according to police. Geelong Police’s state-first family violence unit revealed almost 60 women had reported domestic “incidents” in the past month. The spike in reports came as the city prepared for White Ribbon Day on November 25. Family violence unit Leading

Senior Constable Brendan Whitefield said Geelong “certainly had its fair share” of physical assaults on women. “If we had a month where we were hitting 40 reports, that was considered a big month,” he said. “We were dealing with more than one incident a day of domestic violence whereas in the month just gone we found in the stats that (the Geelong station) attended almost 60 familyviolence incidents.” Snr Const Whitefield said

women were the overwhelming victims of family violence in Geelong. He believed most women were too afraid to report violence within family homes. “They’re scared to come forward, whether they’re under duress or a threat from their partners or retribution from another party involved.” Snr Const Whitefield said support agencies and courts generated many reports because they had to notify police of criminal assault complaints.

The Geelong unit had a target of encouraging 10 per cent more victims to report domestic assaults over the next five years. Snr Const Whitefield said police had identified alcohol as the contributing factor in most domestic assaults in Geelong. “It’s a huge problem,” he said. Barwon Centre Against Sexual Assault chief executive Barbara Henry said violence against women crossed social boundaries.

“Family violence is in all parts of society. There is absolutely no question about that,” she said. Ms Henry agreed with police about the main contributing factor. “Certainly alcohol and also substance abuse contribute to those social situations.” Mrs Henry said women in need of assistance or counselling should phone the centre on 5222 4318.

The real deal: The ePaper version of the Independent. Picture: Tommy Ritchie

Phone 5221 5200

THE Independent has adopted technology for internet users to see pages the same as they appear in the paper. Managing editor Tony Galpin said the technology would appeal to readers who wanted a traditional newspaper in an electronic format. “Readers can simply go to geelongindependent.com.au and click on the ePaper option to see every page of all editions, including our real estate lift-out,” he said. “The site still includes a usual internet news service of headlines to click on for linked stories but readers who like the traditional appearance of a newspaper page will like the ePaper. “It’s easy to use and you don’t miss anything. It’s all there – stories, headlines, pictures, even the advertisements – just as they appear on the pages. “Readers can even print pages and share them electronically with friends and family.” Mr Galpin said access to the Independent’s ePapers was free, just like the real thing. Readers were already finding the online pages of local news and advertising, he said. “Thousands of our ePaper pages have already been viewed without the Independent even promoting them, so demand for an electronic version of the paper is already established and growing.”

City’s ambo dispatch ‘putting lives at risk’ “Ballarat paramedics are being dispatched to cases in Geelong on code one emergencies and are being kept there for considerable periods of time, up to four hours. This clearly shows there are not enough resources in Geelong and it leaves Ballarat desperately short of paramedics. “Moving the call centre to Geelong has also meant that the centre is dispatching ambulances for the Geelong area as well and Ballarat and the Grampians (in western Victoria), which has doubled their workload.” Mr McGhie said call centre operators and paramedics were “understaffed, under-resourced and overworked”, putting patients lives at risk. “There are also instances of ambulances being sent to the wrong address,” he said.

Hello, Tiger BUDGET carrier Tiger Airways has started flying from Avalon Aiport. Geelong Mayor John Mitchell welcomed the Jetstar competitor to Avalon this week, saying Tiger would create 90 jobs while adding new destinations for Avalon including Alice Springs, Rockhampton, Perth and Mackay.

workload. “The longer we wait for that the longer people’s lives will be put at risk.” Ambulance Victoria specialist services general manager Mark Rogers said he was aware of “shortcomings” in the system. ‘I know our paramedics are working under pressure but we’re about to the start the first of 234 additional paramedics for regional Victoria, which will be a big help in terms of reducing overtime, improving rostering and helping with resources and response times. ‘We’ve never hidden away from the amount of work we have to do but we have told our staff the process that will be involved and look forward to continuing to work with them.”

“These problems have been going on for a while now and they were highlighted as potential issues before the call centre was moved but Ambulance Victoria pushed ahead with the relocation anyway.” Mr McGhie said Ambulance Victoria would close the Geelong centre after a new dispatch facility opened in Ballarat next year. The new centre would dispatch all regional emergency services including police, fire and ambulance, he said. “Crews from other areas will still be coming to Geelong and it’s going to result in increased fatigue for the paramedics and greater delays for patients,” he said. “The new centre is not going to fix this problem - the only thing that will is more ambulance crews to cover the

Cynthia, 84, on long march for homeless youth BY KIM WATERS EIGHTY-FOUR-YEAR-OLD Highton resident Cynthia Hall has no need for the help of an electric scooter or a walking frame to keep up with her grandchildren. With energy rivalling her brood of “little tackers”, the sprightly nanan will put it to good use this weekend in a 20-kilometre charity walk for Salvation Army’s Walking Home appeal. Ms Hall will join other avid walkers at the event on Saturday to walk from Drysdale to Geelong as a fundraiser for homeless youths. “I like exercise and I’ve done a bit of training by walking from my house in Highton to Geelong city and back,” she said. “I had a minor stroke before Christmas but I’ve progressed really well since then and my doctors are really excited that I’m doing this.” Ms Hall said news of her long distance adventure had attracted $897 in donations. She hoped to raise $1000 before the event on Saturday. “I’ve spent time with some homeless people and your heart just goes out to them. “I remember once at a Sydney train station I had some contact with a young homeless girl and I’ll never forget the experience. “Anything I can do, every step that my legs can make, will help one of those people.” Ms Hall said a strict diet and regular exercise were the keys to her fitness and longevity. “I’m quite excited about this event because it’s lovely at my age to be able to do something for someone else in this way. “I’m allowing myself five hours to get from Drysdale to Johnstone Park but I hope it doesn’t take me that long.” The Salvation Army Walking Home event raises awareness and understanding of homelessness in the region. The Salvation Army said more information was available by phoning 5244 9500.

STATE Government has announced a $900,000 project to “protect” Bells Beach following a campaign among surfers to save the international icon from alleged Surf Coast Shire mismanagement. The council and state money would go toward upgrading an existing toilet block and building a second facility in the reserve, which the EPA recently investigated for E coli contamination.

BY KIM WATERS PARAMEDICS have passed a vote of no confidence in Geelong’s ambulance dispatch centre, according to their state representative. Ambulance Employees Australia state secretary Steve McGhie said the centre had earned the thumbs down from Ballarat paramedics after their dispatch facility was transferred to Geelong in April. The paramedics were preparing to meet managers, health and safety representatives and MPs after passing the vote late last week, he said. Mr McGhie believed the vote highlighted how shortfalls in Geelong ambulance services were now spreading beyond the city to affect other areas.

Deepening study for coast ‘river of death’ BY ERIN PEARSON EXPERTS will investigate opening Anglesea River to the sea after an extensive fish-kill in the waterway, Corangamite Catchment Management Authority has announced. The authority said it had “engaged” experts to find out whether “deepening” the river mouth would lift low pH levels responsible for killing the fish. But Anglesea Airey’s Angling club president Garry Kerr said the fix would be mostly “too late”. “The authorities say this isn’t a new

phenomenon. Well, I’ve got news for them; this is a new phenomenon,” Mr Kerr said. “This isn’t just a fish kill - the whole river is dead. The birds won’t even eat the fish any more it’s that bad.” Mr Kerr said opening the river to the sea would “seriously impact” the town’s tourism trade as the Surf Coast entered the peak summer season. “The idea couldn’t happen at a worse time, heading into summer holidays,” he said. “Any opening, if the river isn’t closed again and refilled straight away,

would have a huge impact on the town’s tourism. “If it’s done properly it’s a major project and would cost millions of dollars, also. “I don’t claim to be an expert, I don’t know what to do, but we need to investigate all the options.” Mr Kerr said five fish kills in September and October had left the river “dead”. State Government authorities had failed the river, he said. “The managing authorities did absolutely squat and they’re responsi-

ble for this river dying.” The catchment management authority warned deepening the estuary might not increase pH levels if the source of the acid was further upstream. “Any effect is also likely to be short-lived as the natural sand movement returns sand to the mouth and again causes infilling.” The authority believes the source of the low pH levels could be peat in areas upstream.

TRAINS would run every 20 minutes between Geelong and Melbourne during off-peak travel times under a re-elected Brumby Government, Transport Minister Martin Pakula has announced. The pledge on Wednesday was the latest carrot for votes as both major parties swamped the Geelong region with pre-election promises and policies. Labor also vowed $20 million to duplicate Bellarine Highway to Marcus Hill and $6 million for its 2006 pre-election promise of “continuous parkland” between Geelong and Barwon Heads. Other Labor promises included $500,000 for redevelopment of Torquay Football and Netball Club and Spring Creek Community Events Centre. The Liberals countered with pledges including $1.5 million for Torquay’s proposed Taylor Park multi-purpose facility, $750,000 for the town’s community and civic precinct and $800,000 for boosting manufacturing jobs in Geelong. Liberal Bellarine candidate Kurt Reiter also announced $4 million for Borough of Queenscliffe to fix roads and bridges and to develop its foreshore between Queencliff’s ferry terminal and pier. Amid the promises independent candidates Keith Oakley, for South Barwon, and Bellarine hopeful Stephen Juhasz launched their campaigns with polices of “listening, listening and listening” to constituents. “Enough is enough,” they said.

Harbouring doubts: Denis More at the harbour he built without a planning permit. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 56039 using Mr More’s site for a boat harbour. Leopold and District Community Association president Alan Ireland said residents wanted more access to Corio Bay’s foreshore near the town. “Anything that opens up more land for the public use is a benefit to the community. In most instances, there is no road going down that give access to the foreshore,” Mr Ireland said. “It (development of a harbour) really is now dependent on council and its attitude toward allowing him to proceed with his dream, so to speak, because there is a fair amount of tension between the two.”

Mr More said the channel would remain blocked with the rocks unless council was willing to take over management of the harbour. He pointed out that the City’s 2006-2016 strategic plan for Leopold included buying land to build a boat launching facility. “I’m happy to give part of the land away for free but they can buy it off me if they want,” Mr More said.

BY ANDREW MATHIESON LEOPOLD could have a public boating facility after council lifted a development moratorium on land around a harbour, built without planning approval. But owner Denis More fears his clashes with City of Greater Geelong over the harbour five years ago could scuttle the City’s own plans to deliver a “boat launching facility” for Leopold. Mr More, who already has a permit for a caravan park on the 45-hectare site, said he wanted to use the harbour for a public sailing school. The “quite restrictive” moratorium had prevented plans for further development on the site, he said. “This now means I can now move on. It’s been quite (a psychological strain) as well but now it’s like I’m a free agent again.” The City had been unaware of the development until aerial pictures first revealed the harbour. Council took Mr More to Victorian Civil Administrative Tribunal in 2007 over concerns about potential environmental damage from a channel he dug between the harbour and Corio Bay. A three-year agreement between the City and Mr More forced him to place rocks in the

The City of Greater Geelong has announced a month long Dog and Cat Registration Amnesty during November 2010. The purpose of the Amnesty is to provide assurance to dog and cat owners to come forward and register their animals with the City without fear of a penalty being issued for keeping an unregistered dog and/or cat. Council adopted the Amnesty which will operate between 1 and 30 November at its meeting on Tuesday 12 October. Geelong residents are amongst the highest owners of dogs and cats in Australia. As a means to manage domestic pets, legislation requires that local government register all cats and dogs being kept within its municipality. Dog and cat registration and identification are basic, essential functions of municipal animal management. The benefits of pet registration identification are that it: • Links the animal with its owner to enable the return of lost animals. • Provides management information to the City to best manage animal incidents. • Provides a unique source of data about local pet populations and trends.

The roll out of the program started on Monday 1 November. There will be no inconvenience to residents who are asked to put their garbage bins out at the usual time. The program is being rolled out in these areas first in response to a growing increase in thefts and break-ins from vehicles in these areas.

‘JOURNEY TO SCHOOL’ CAMPAIGN EVERY CHILD MATTERS

Current data indicates that approximately 75 per cent of dog owners and 30 per cent of cat owners will voluntarily comply with pet registration and identification requirements. Residents who may be keeping unregistered dogs and/or cats may have done so for a number reasons including but not limited to: • May have forgotten to renew their previous year’s registration. • Having not registered in the first instance, may not be aware that there is a requirement to register their dog/cat with the City. • Not being on the City’s Animal Database, residents will not have received animal information relating to new/renewed registration of dogs or cats. At the conclusion of the Amnesty on 30 November, dog or cat owners who fail to register and identify their animals with Council will be subject to an on the spot penalty of $239. Dog or cat owners will be given 14 days to register the dog or cat with the City to avoid further legal proceedings. Dog and cat owners can take advantage of half price registration (new registrations only) at the current fee schedule. If your 2010 registration has not been renewed a 12 month fee will apply.

CALLING ON ALL FAMILIES OF CHILDREN ENROLLED IN GEELONG PRIMARY SCHOOLS! • Would you like to make a difference? • Would you like to improve safety around schools? • Would you like to increase your family’s physical, mental and emotional wellbeing? • Would you like to help win $1000 in cash for your school?

RAPID GRASS GROWTH We are working hard to control exceptional weed and grass growth throughout the city following one of the wettest periods we’ve experienced for many years. While the recent heavy rains were very welcome, the down side is the affect this rain has had on grass and weed growth in our environment. Every available operator and mower is being used and we ask for patience during this growth period. We have a wide ranging maintenance program in operation but the frequency and amount of rain has resulted in exceptional growing conditions for vegetation. This has meant that a park mowed two or three weeks ago is already in need of another mow. As warmer weather settles in and weed and grass growth slows down, we believe our normal maintenance programs will allow us to keep up with the workload and maintain our parks, reserves and gardens to our usual high standard.

Primary schools will be given ‘Journey to School’ booklets to distribute to all families from October to November to celebrate ‘Walktober’ and ‘Children’s Week’. The booklet contains a Safe Driver’s Agreement and Children’s Travel Agreement for families to sign and return to school. Each school has been asked to keep a record of how many agreements have been returned. Two prizes will be awarded: $1000 for schools with up to 300 students and $1000 for schools with 300 plus students. Families who return ‘agreements’ by 3 December will receive a FREE ‘car safety sign’ stating, ‘Thank-you for driving safely – Every Child Matters and FREE fridge magnet/notepad detailing the many travel options to and from school. Look out in November for your FREE six minute DVD which complements the ‘Journey to School’ campaign.

EVENT DETAILS: On Saturday 20 November, the parade will assemble in Eastern Park. At 11.00am the parade will proceed west along Malop Street, turn right into Moorabool Street and concludes at the bottom end of Moorabool Street, near Eastern Beach Road. Upon the conclusion of the parade, a Family Fun Day will be held at Steampacket Gardens from 12.00noon until approximately 5.00pm. ROAD CLOSURES AND OPENING TIMES: Malop Street from Garden Street to Gheringhap Street will be closed from approximately 10.00am until approximately 12.30pm. East and west vehicle traffic will not be permitted along Malop Street between these times. North and south vehicular traffic will be maintained along Yarra Street, Bellerine Street and Swanston Streets until approximately 10.45am, or at a time advised by the Victoria Police on the day of the event.

BY KIM WATERS RESIDENTS fighting the proposed route of a bypass link south of Geelong have collected 1300 signatures on a petition backing their campaign, according to a spokesperson. South Grovedale Community Action Group’s Margarita Kumnik said 140 respondents to an online poll had also promised to change their votes over the route of the stage 4C link to Surf Coast Highway. “A lot of people have commented that they’re willing to change their vote to support a government that would do something about this,” Ms Kumnick said. The 4C route runs through the seat of South Barwon, which Labor’s Michael Crutchfield holds with a margin of 2.3 per cent. Ms Kumnik said residents also planned a second rally against the 4C link this weekend.

She believed the action group was having success trying to ensure voters were “informed” about the 4C. Residents living near the 4C route in Grovedale and Waurn Ponds have opposed the link on noise and traffic grounds. MP Michael Crutchfield has committed Labor to maintaining the route but Liberal candidate Andrew Katos has promised a review if the coalition wins the state election on November 27. Mr Katos also promised to correct an “obvious flaw” in public consultations that culminated in the route’s alignment. Mr Crutchfield called the review pledge “utter madness”, saying a coalition government would never deliver a new 4C route. He labelled the link as essential infrastructure for the delivery of facilities including a new rail station at Waurn Ponds.

Moorabool Street between Malop Street and Eastern Beach Road will be restricted from approximately 10.00am until approximately 12.30pm. North and south vehicle traffic will not be permitted along Morrabool Street between these times. Brougham Street between Yarra Street and Gheringhap Street will have restricted vehicle access from approximately 11.00am to 12.30pm. Access to the Westfield car park on Brougham Street will be accessible at all times. Traffic management treatments will be in place on Eastern Beach Road, between Yarra Street and Gheringhap Street from approximately 11.30am until approximately 12.30pm. This will not be a full road closure, however, motorists are advised that there may be an approximate 15 minute delay when travelling along Eastern Beach Road at these times. Access to Eastern Park Circuit will be restricted from 8.30am to approximately 12.00noon. Garden Street, from Park Street to Alexander Avenue will be closed from approximately 10.00am to approximately 12.00noon. Local traffic only will be permitted to enter and exit under traffic marshall control. Access to Geelong Botanic Gardens will be available via Podbury Crescent. Access to the East Geelong Golf Course and Geelong Conference Centre in Eastern Park will be available via Ryrie Street/Holt Road.

BY ERIN PEARSON A FUNDING injection is set to relieve a squeeze on kinder places at Grovedale, according to a kindergarten director. Lynda Lehman said St Paul’s Lutheran Kindergarten was one of only two in the state to receive an expansion grant. Ms Lehman said the $200,000 grant would help build a second room to cater for growing demand. “The additional building will help

service the growing population and give us another class for our four tofive-year-olds and another threeyear-old program.” Ms Lehman said 90 families from Grovedale, Waurn Ponds, Marshall, Connewarre, Mt Duneed and even Torquay sent children to the kinder. The Independent has previously reported kindergartens in the region were struggling to meet demand, with, with Torquay kinder cancelling three-year-old classes in 2011 due to demand for four-year-old places.

Objectors’ ‘vuvezela’ fears

Our fat and veggie-less ‘risk cancer’ FAT BODIES and bad diets are putting Geelong men at risk of cancer, according to new research. Cancer Council Victoria said its study found that 42 per cent of men in the region were overweight and 94 per cent failed to eat the “recommended” amount of vegetables. Smoking and drinking rates among Geelong

men were also higher than the state averages, the research found. Cancer Prevention Centre’s Craig Sinclair said 486 cancer victims died in Geelong each year from 1290 people diagnosed with the disease. He was concerned many people remained unaware that weight was linked to cancer risk.

MotoX ‘plans under review’ existing rights under the Surf Coast Shire planning scheme.” Motorcycling Australia chief executive officer David White said the body would seek to establish a new agreement satisfy the shire and neighboring residents. “We’ve put some suggestions to the residents group out there about usage and we’re working though the issues,” he said. “The aim is to come up with an end result that’s acceptable to all parties. If we can provide a better facility for members then that’s great.” Mr White said the venue was operating four days a week compared to its previous seven-day opening hours. The association wanted to provide a “multi-use facility”, he said. Fire risks force closure of the

track in January and February, with noise restrictions on events during the rest of the year. But Barrabool Rural Protection Group’s Heather Wellington said independent noise testing revealed a competitive event in July produced levels “four times” louder than the acceptable threshold. She compared the sound to World Cup vuvezelas. “On some days when there is a competitive event the noise is so loud that people literally cannot work or socialise outside.” Ms Wellington accused Surf Coast Shire of “plowing ahead” without running their own noise analysis. Neighbors feared noise pollution would increase as the track attracted additional national events, she said.

Hot Flights

BY ANDREW MATHIESON DEAKIN University is bracing for a decline in Indian student enrolments next year after recent rises in international enrolments at its Geelong campuses, according to a vice-chancellor. Deakin international and development deputy vice-chancellor Robin Buckham said the forecasts provided a bleak outlook for Geelong’s two campuses at Waurn Ponds and on the city’s waterfront. The university has been a leader in attracting students from overseas, especially Asian markets from where the Geelong university derives a large slice of its international enrolment income. “While enrolments have increased over the past four years, the current climate may start to impact on future enrolments and we are already starting to notice a decrease in interest from India,” Ms Buckham said. Deakin’s Geelong campuses led the university for international enrolments for the past four years. Enrolments had previously risen more than 36 per cent from 615 in 2006 to 840 this year. All Deakin’s five campuses, which include Melbourne and Warrnambool, had experienced a steady 17 per cent increase in international students. Ms Buckham said the strength of the Australian dollar would be “likely to (have) an impact on our numbers”. Restrictive visa application requirements compared to other countries were also a problem, she said. “While there might be some difficult times ahead, we are confident that the quality of our education will continue to attract students from overseas.” Geelong Otway Tourism executive director Roger Grant also pointed to foreign media portrayal of violence on Melbourne streets as impacting on Geelong universities. Several Indian students have been violently assaulted over the past 12 months, forcing Victorian Premier John Brumby to fly to India in September to promote Melbourne as a safe place to live. “We are suffering from some of the bad publicity associated with how some of the students have found the experience in Australia – I don’t think (Geelong) is immune to it,” Mr Grant said. International students spent several thousand dollars every year, he said. Committee For Geelong executive director Peter Dorling believed Geelong has been “exemplary” in avoiding racist attacks. Mr Dorling was confident Deakin would honour a commitment to the burgeoning Indian education market. “The good thing about Deakin is that it has such strong links to India and it has a presence with the vice-chancellor often visiting India,” he said.

If you’re a working parent expecting a child after January 1st, there’s something else you can expect From 1 January 2011, Australia’s ﬁrst national Paid Parental Leave scheme will start. It’s a new entitlement for working parents, funded by the Australian Government. Taking time away from work for a new baby is a common part of working life. Paid Parental Leave will help parents spend time with a new baby, and help employers retain skilled staff. What is Paid Parental Leave? Eligible working parents of children born or adopted on or after 1 January 2011 may get 18 weeks Governmentfunded pay at the National Minimum Wage, currently $570 a week before tax, to help them care for a new baby. Am I eligible? Full-time, part-time, casual, seasonal, contract and self-employed workers may be eligible. You must have worked at least 330 hours (just over one day a week) for 10 of the 13 months before your new baby arrives. You can have up to an 8 week unpaid break between two working days and still be eligible.

You can earn up to $150,000 a year (individual salary) and still be eligible. Is it for both parents? Yes, usually the mother must apply for Paid Parental Leave. If you are eligible, you can transfer some or all of the pay to your partner (they need to be eligible too). The scheme gives families more options to balance work and family. When can I take it? You can claim up to three months in advance, and your pay can start at any time you choose from when your child is born or adopted. It will be paid in one continuous period from the start date and must all be taken within the ﬁrst year after the birth or adoption. You are encouraged to apply early.

What about employer-provided entitlements? Eligible parents can receive Parental Leave pay at the same time, before or after other employer-provided paid leave or entitlements. The existing minimum entitlement to 12 months unpaid parental leave for long-term employees is unchanged. What does it mean for employers? From 1 July 2011, employers must provide Government-funded Parental Leave pay through their usual pay cycle to eligible employees who have been with their business for at least 12 months. Other eligible parents will be paid through the Family Assistance Ofﬁce. Where do I ﬁnd out more? To learn more about Paid Parental Leave visit the website or call the appropriate number below.

yard. “That’s for washing parts.” Before the frivolity, a young Wilf’s first job was maintenance work on aeroplanes in the air force between 1941 and 1945. “I liked working in the hangars, pushing a plane in a hangar and taking it to pieces bit by bit,” he says. “But playing around with the tractors was more fun.” Growing up in Bannockburn, Wilf later farmed sheep and crops like oats, barley and sometimes wheat in Balliang. There he shared parcels of a 518-hectare farms with his brothers for 46 years until retirement. But to many people closer to Geelong, the retired farmer is full of hot air and plenty of steam. “Maybe you could say my life’s about pop and bang at times,” Wilf smiles.

the show,” he nods. Then there is the “funny machine”. The mention of its name brings out a sly chuckle of laughter from Wilf. Even the machine’s accompanying sign saying ‘Designed by Professor Hex Nuts, built by Standard Steel Bolt’ never fails to amuse him. “People ask what the funny machine does,” he says, “I tell them it doesn’t do anything but fascinate you.” The fascination in Wilf’s boys’ toys peaked with open days at his own home for visiting groups. Every tool or spare part is diligently laid out in a garage with no room for a car. Leftover scraps are conspicuous next to a piece of the kitchen. “Yeah, I have everything including the kitchen sink,” Wilf says, pointing to it standing smack in the middle of the

style,” Wilf insists. “Then there’s the drum - I put a 44-gallon drum in there where originally there was the tank.” Almost like a museum curator, Wilf keeps his collection in tip-top shape while logging his hours worked on the vintage beasts. He discovers that his 1925 McCormick-Deering tractor – now the oldest in his possession – took him 128 hours to restore to glory. “My father had a couple of those, way back in the 1930s when I was a small boy,” Wilf recalls, “so I remember what they were like.” He tracks down a list of the collection he has restored over four decades – seven tractors, 11 engines, two grain-crushers, one strawpress and as many as 23 water pumps. “A pump pumping water all around attracts the attention at

A VINTAGE Wilf Bufton answers the door barely uttering a word and reaches for his trusty sunhat on the patio before shuffling into his Drysdale backyard like a welloiled machine. There a treasure trove of timeless tractors, engines, even a self-described “funny machine” greets the eye at first glance. But missing is one of the magnificent old contraptions that can only be matched by Wilf’s 87 years of life chugging along the same earth. The 1923 International Titan tractor once took pride of place in his yard, which resembles a display from any of Wilf’s 40 previous Geelong Show appearances. “I haven’t got it out any more,” Wilf mumbles, “I sold it to one of the other fellas at the show.” Wilf’s head slumps a little and he sighs. “It’ll find a good home,” he adds. The favourite tractor may be gone but its memories are still fresh in Wilf’s ageing mind. The first piece of his machinery jigsaw roused Wilf’s interest in collecting vintage machines back in 1968. When he exhibited the classic Titan during that same year’s show, it created a bigger stir than the latest International Harvester models. Bought from a scrap dealer in Warrnambool for next to a song, the tractor was missing a water tank and a carburettor. “It had a two-cylinder and a chain through to the back wheel – that’s what you call old-

letters Cost question ONE OF South Barwon MP Michael Crutchfield’s many election promises is to widen Pioneer Road between the Colac Road and Meadowvale Drive. Considering that section 4C of Geelong’s bypass is proposed to cost $77 million for 4.5 kilometres of new road and new traffic signalling, why would a few hundred metres of existing road with existing traffic signalling cost $13.5 million of taxpayer funds?

Family matters

DETAILS IN FINALLY FRIDAY

SOUTH Barwon MP Michael Crutchfield portraying that he has children and understands that raising a child can be the best times of your life is the latest tax-funded Labor propaganda we received in the mail leading up to the November 27 election. Meanwhile, we find ourselves under increasing pressure with Labor’s massive electricity, water and gas bill hikes making it harder to cope with Labor’s rising interest rates. After 11 long years, Premier John Brumby has no excuse why Labor has spent $1.3 billion on advertising instead of reducing the increasing violent crimes, hospital waiting lists and providing more funding for our children’s education. Angelo Kakouros Grovedale

Bully for MP

372486-SH45-10

I WOULD like to make public my personal experience of interacting with our Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield. If you have a different opinion to Mr Crutchfield, look out, because arrogance has a whole new meaning. As a mother whose children attend Torquay College, I have been involved with a group of parents who would all ideally like to see Torquay achieve a separate secondary college away from the congested Grossman’s Road site. When we approached Mr Crutchfield on this issue we were told we represented nothing more than a “coffee club”. He was extremely dismissive and much more concerned about himself than Torquay schooling issues. If he had any idea of parenting and families he would understand that full-time working parents have extremely busy lives and don’t just sit around drinking coffee and concocting frivolous issues. At a public forum in which the majority favoured a stand-alone secondary school for Torquay, Mr Crutchfield lowered himself further by bullying

concerned parents, making the issue all about himself, accusing the parents group of a “nasty streak” and bad-mouthing the very school where they sent their children. This is our local MP who should be approachable, fair and at least listen to his constituents. Instead all we get is arrogance and nasty politics. I feel sorry for anyone who has to go to Mr Crutchfield with concerns or issues because they will be talking to deaf ears. Justine Marion Bells Beach

Green, not clean SIMON Northeast, a Surf Coast councilor and the Greens candidate for South Barwon, has opposed and frustrated the harvesting and filter-treatment of stormwater for RACV’s Torquay golf course. Delays in harvesting the stormwater threatened hundreds of jobs and endangered a $100 million development. In September I asked him: • Why did he propose that RACV should be charged what equated to $533 per megalitre as against $7 per megalitre charged by Southern Rural Water and $20 by Melbourne Water?; and • Did he demand the huge fee hoping RACV would rejected it so the polluted stormwater would continue running into the Jan Juc Creek and onto Jan Juc Beach? Cr Northeast refused to answer my questions. Voters are entitled to ask him the following questions: • Is he a fair dinkum Green or an opportunist seeking a job change?; • Why is he against common sense environmental practices such as the harvesting and treatment of stormwater?; • Will he if elected use his power to frustrate and hinder other job-creating projects?; and • Why does he vote for polluted rather than clean beaches and waterways? In October Surf Coast Shire council approved the stormwater harvesting at $50 a megalitre with strict conditions that will result in a cleaner Jan Juc Creek and Jan Juc Beach. True to form, Cr Northeast voted against the proposal. Ray Frost Jan Juc

Social distortion PREMIER John Brumby was recently reported as saying there have been discussions about opening up access to $15 million to help fix social housing in Geelong.

He said the cash was not assured but Geelong was in strong contention. This appeared to be a Clayton’s promise - one that is promised before the election but may not be there after the election. Our region’s peak lobby group, G21, says that $122 million is needed to solve the problem. On top of these comments, the state Planning Minister has advertised that he may approve the building of four-storey units at Norlane, which other cities and countries are pulling down due to social problems. About 450 petitioners have indicated they do not want any four-storey blocks of flats at Norlane but objectors cannot attend community liaison committee meetings because they are by “invitation only”. No minutes of the only meeting, held in July, 2010, have been circulated. Can Member for Lara John Eren, who is also the chairman of the State Government committee, inform the community what is really happening or does the Government take the voters of Lara for granted? Rob Eyton Liberal candidate for Lara

Now they can help AS AN election looms Labor has suddenly discovered millions of dollars to get long- suffering people off surgery waiting lists. If the money was available why didn’t Labor come up with it over the past four years while I watched my once-vibrant friend firstly walk with a rolling gait like some drunken sailor until she started hobbling around on a walking stick while she waited for surgery? How dare Premier John Brumby and his cronies have the cheek to call it “elective” surgery! Who in their right mind would elect to suffer so much pain or find themselves half zonked out with drugs most of the time? As a long-time Labor voter and one who lives in a safe Labor seat, even she is so disgusted she will give her vote to the Liberals for the first time. Elizabeth Cross Wandana Heights

A bicycle is a vehicle and the new Barwon Heads vehicle bridge will provide a bicycle lane in each direction for cyclists. Is the competition judging panel going to choose a name that quietly drops the word pedestrian from view? I wanted to suggest the name Dismount but the pedestrian bridge name contest wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open to pedestrians. It was only

Borough bother I WENT to a recent public meeting to find out who the Liberal candidate for Bellarine was and why he was talking about ditching Borough of Queenscliff (Independent, October 15). I had the chance to recount the townsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; experiences with the former Labor Government and Jeff Kennett in the 1980s and how a Kennett inquiry found that Queenscliff was, with its heritage values, so unique there was no similar locality with which it could be merged. Liberal candidate Kurt Reiter quickly stated that it was not Liberal policy to close the borough and that the push came from the people of the northern Bellarine Peninsula who wanted to get away from City of Greater Geelong. A few other locals were able to air some of our worries but for most of the evening it was over to Liberal planning spokesperson Matthew Guy, the Save 600 people and property development matters. I still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who Mr Reiter is but I do know he knew all the development identities by first name. But how is this for a turnaround: I later read Mr Reiter saying the Liberals had not ruled out a change if they were elected. I now know something about Mr Reiter. I want to know his formula for measuring community support. He should go back and look at the Kennett report before he does a John Brumby and starts wasting our taxes. The population of Bellarine would swamp the borough in any plebiscite. A Holmes Point Lonsdale

Apples with oranges IN RESPONSE to my letter about airport parking fees in the October 29 Independent, Robert Ward last week claimed that the Jetport rates I quoted were wrong and that my letter should have been checked before publication. Had Mr Ward checked Jetportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rates carefully at www.jetportparking.com.au he would have found that it offers two services: valet parking and selfparking. One must compare apples with apples when making price comparisons. It is appropriate to compare Avalonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-parking rates against Jetportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selfparking rates, like I did, not against Jetportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s valet parking rates, like Mr Ward did. The aim of my letter was to highlight how expensive one to two-day parking rates were at Avalon compared to some commercial parking operators at Tullamarine and to offer this as a reason why passenger numbers had fallen at Avalon in contrast to Melbourne Airport. With Avalonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lower overheads, how can it justify charging $24 to park for a day or $36 for two days compared with $14 for a day or $26.50 for two days at Jetport? Jetportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rates are even cheaper if you park on its rooftop or book with RACV. Why are Avalonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term parking rates competitive but not its short-term rates? David Charles Newtown

into registration fees to provide medical cover for accident injuries. One would assume drivers of unregistered vehicles would not be covered, having not paid their registration. You can imagine my outrage on being advised that all people injured on Victorian roads are covered regardless of whether or not they register their vehicles. Therefore their medical treatment would be funded by the good folk who do the right thing, often under financial hardship. I urge others sick and tired of people like this to provide their names and addresses to police in the hope they will incur fines and stay off our roads. Readers who think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s un-Australian to dob should consider whether these people who continually bludge on society would have a second thought about dobbing in others if it was to their benefit.

Have you switched to digital?

NO ONE knows for certain whether the Sun or people are the primary driver of Earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s climate. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s people, it will be warmer ahead. But the 300-year warming trend from the quiet Sun of the Maunder Minimum to the hyperactive Sun of the Modern Grand Maximum is over. The Sun now is going on a long-forecast holiday and the next Little Ice Age cold period looks imminent. It is said a third of the population of Europe died in the killing Maunder period from 1645 to 1715. The predicted cooling by 2030 would be far worse for humanity than continued warming. As for CO2, it is no pollutant but the vital plant food. Many of our plant genera evolved when atmospheric CO2 was four times that of now. Indeed, some growers put extra CO2 in greenhouses to make their veggies grow better. Please, Premier Brumby, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impoverish Victorians by fighting so-called carbon pollution unless and until you have good reason to do so. Bob Foster Queenscliff

APART from pre-election media opportunities, perhaps the reason for a hasty contest to name the Barwon Heads pedestrian bridge (Independent, October 22) is because it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a pedestrian bridge. If you thought the pedestrian bridge was being built for walkers, for pram or wheelchair users and children under 12 to cycle safely with or without their parents and for anglers, their gear and room to cast a fish hook safely you would be wrong. That would require a bridge with footpath status. Buried in the amended City of Greater Geelong planning scheme, which facilitated a double-bridge development, are the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;for a separate cycling and pedestrian bridge running alongside, downstreamâ&#x20AC;?. Our community has supported bicycles enough - they can â&#x20AC;&#x153;share the roadâ&#x20AC;? this time.

I AM astounded at the number of unplated, unregistered cars on Geelong roads. At first this brazen disregard of the law angered me as someone who pays registration without question. I wondered where I would stand if I was in an accident with an unregistered vehicle. It would be fairly safe to assume they wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have insurance. I also wondered whether the drivers of these vehicles would have access to funded medical treatment. A TAC employee told me a premium was built

Duo bags a show in city BY ERIN PEARSON PAUSING during a recovery swim on Monday, Bag Raiders’ Chris Stracey pondered his “demanding” new life in the spotlight of fame. “We went to the ARIA’s last night, which was a mixed bag of fun - very industry,” he told the Independent. “Although we didn’t see many of the awards we enjoyed snacking on mini hamburgers and champagne – Jason Derulo even walked past us a couple of times, which was pretty unreal.” Stracey’s two-piece duo shot to fame with consecutive hit singles Shooting Stars and Way Back Home catapulting Bag Raiders into the Australian music charts. After recently releasing a self-titled debut pop album, Stracey and band-mate Jack Glass have embarked on a national tour, with a stop at the ARIA awards. Stracey said the pair “never imagined” they would attend the ARIA’s or tour the country with their own music. “It’s a pretty weird feeling and not something I thought I’d ever be doing when I was in high school,” he laughed. “We’re both classically trained musicians and have been around music all of our lives but the whole dance music and DJing thing happened pretty fast.”

Stracey credited The Bang Gang DJs’ events as an early key to the Bag Raiders’ success. “We started going out to Bang Gang parties because we loved the music and they were silly enough to give us a go.” Stracey said Bag Raiders was now preparing to bring its “unique brand of hands-in-theair pop” to Geelong. “People should expect a big whiz-bang live show with both of us singing and playing multiple synthesizes and lots of percussion.” Stracey said his band’s name reflected its beginnings plundering the works of other acts. “We made a mixed CD years ago before we were doing anything serious and called it Bag Raiders because we didn’t have any of our own songs - we took records out of the bags of other musicians to make the CD,” he revealed. Stracey said touring was proving more of a challenge than just playing other bands’ songs though. “It’s pretty fun but also a lot harder work than just rocking up to a club with a bag of CDs,” he laughed. “We tour with over 100 kilograms of gear but people are coming to watch us perform our stuff live which is really special.” Bag Raiders will play Geelong’s Eureka Hotel next Thursday with support act Flight Facilities.

Grassy Noll’s shooting back BY ERIN PEARSON THE adage about taking the boy out of the country but not the country out of the boy fits seamlessly into the life of former Australia Idol star Shannon Noll. Now based in Sydney hundreds of kilometers from his rural homeland of Condobolin, Noll’s chat with the Independent was thick with “mates” and “yeahs”. “I try and get back home as much as I can especially now to see all the smiles on everyone’s faces following all the rain,” he said. “I’ve known everyone since I was a pup and my heart’s been going out to the families out there since I went on Australian Idol. “They’ve had 10 years of drought out there.” Noll said he also struggled to fit in a “hit of cricket” during trips home but at least his music had developed “enormously” since his 2003 star turn on Australian Idol.

“I’ve learnt a lot more about my voice since then because in the early days I did more mimic singing to cover songs, trying to sound like others,” he said. “Now it’s a matter of knowing how to use my voice properly.” Still listening to idols Green Day and Nickelback, Noll said his touring style had also evolved with his vocal styling. “I think it’s trial and error a lot in the touring side of things,” he said. “In the early days I did 45 shows in 49 days, which was ridiculous. “I’ve learnt to work smarter and I’m having some of the best times of my life doing it. “Music is such a good character builder. Plus, it’s great fun.” Noll said he was working on a new album following the success of his five-time platinum 2004 debut That’s What I’m Talking About. The hit album included

chart-topping singles Lift, Turn It Up and No Turning Back: The Story So Far. Noll’s first 10 singles, released between February, 2004, and September, 2007, all made it into the top 10 ARIA chart. He is the only artist in Australian chart history to score 10 consecutive top10 singles. Noll said he was now looking forward to “hitting the road again”. “The whole process has been terrific,” he said. “I’ve had as great response down through Victoria with past acoustic shows and I’m looking forward to coming down to the places I haven’t been to in a while.” Noll said fans could expect to hear “big singles” and new material in a semi-acoustic-type performance. Noll will perform at Corio’s Gateway Hotel on November 19.

BY CARLEE NORTON any of us have our guilty pleasures. Mine was chocolate, cheese, cake, anything in reach after the birth of my baby girl. Eleven months later the result was a girl who ballooned to 98kg. Seeing this weight on the doctor’s scales brought me to tears. Something had to be done! I had Virginia’s business card from Encompassing You in my wallet for months, so I rang her two days after leaving the doctors surgery. I didn’t leave a message but within two minutes she rang me back. Every day I am so grateful that she rang me back. After an intense discussion in my first session, we decided I wasn’t going on a diet plan and that I wouldn’t count calories. I would begin healthy eating by swapping and changing my food choices – but that didn’t mean I couldn’t have a bit of the good stuff every now and then. I began to change my foods from chocolate to yoghurt, chips to salad, pastry to fruit. As for exercise, at the start Virginia was happy if I could just walk around the corner – now I’ve done a fun run and can cover four kilometres in 29 minutes! With Virginia’s assistance from Encompassing You, I am 24kg lighter and enjoying life every

Contours in the great outdoors ontours has always been different in its perception of the fitness industry and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking it to the next level with the introduction of outdoor-training partner Physical Returns Outdoors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When any decision is made at Contours, management goes back to its core values and the reasons why so many ladies in Geelong love us,â&#x20AC;? explains owner Sam Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Contours believes that support should not come at a price. You should be able to train with trainers to assist at your convenience and because of these things the results you get are easy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when we made the decision to partner with Physical Returns Outdoors it was a no-brainer.â&#x20AC;? Sam says Physical Returns Outdoors has given Contours clients the ability to add to their fitness programs, with up to 15 small-group training sessions a week available to attend without the cost of traditional outdoor personal training. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only is the price of $5 a week for Contours members for unlimited sessions, which is great value, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also guaranteed the support of having two trainers at every small-group session for that extra support and motivation, ensuring your work out is right for you and your fitness level.â&#x20AC;?

Have fun, lose weight with Zumba umba is one of the most enjoyable ways to get fit, lose weight and tone up. As a dance/aerobics-style class featuring Latin American and world music, Zumba is exercise in disguise with an added smile, a laugh and a cheeky butt wiggle. The dance routines start out simple for beginners and can be developed with added hip, body and arm movements to suit moreadvanced students. Everyone can dance together regardless of coordination and fitness levels. Zumba is suitable for all because participants can tailor workouts to suit individual needs, such as high or low impact, slow or fast. Lisa Schneider started Salsa Street three years ago to teach salsa Cuban-style to Geelong and Ballarat students. She started Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Zumba fitness classes in October, 2009, and the first in Ballarat, too. Lisa is a licensed advanced B2 Zumba instructor, allowing her to incorporate world music styles such as flamenco, samba, tango, belly dancing, Bollywood and African into each class to create a dance workout full of variety. The Salsa Street team includes Zumba instructors Colleen and

Â&#x2DC;

Brooke, allowing up to three instructors per class. The extra instructors give one-on-one support and encouragement during classes. In each class they explain the dance steps between songs so students can develop great technique, maximise muscle use and feel confident in their dancing. They also have a Zumba Express class, which is a non-stop workout for students who know the routines and want to intensify their workouts. Salsa Street runs family-friend-

ly Zumba classes in which children are welcome to watch and even participate, meaning participating parents have no need for mid-week child-minding. The age range of students is between three and 72. Salsa Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s class costs are kept low, with no membership or joining fees. Under 18s and over 60s pay half price. Students can also receive discounted rates by purchasing prepaid class cards that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expire, so holders arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t locked-in.

Control panel: Standard features include air-conditioning with dual-zones and MP3compatible CD player with auxiliary input jack. With its big-torque characteristics this is likely to be the engine of choice for most buyers. Transmission was by a five-speed automatic with tiptronic-type overrides in our test car, it works nicely in conjunction with the engine characteristics. The iMax CRDi is also available with five-speed manual while the petrol variant is only offered as a fourspeed auto. Standard features include air-conditioning with dual-zones and additional controls in the rear, and MP3-compatible CD player with auxiliary input jack. On the road the Hyundai iMax rides well and is generally stable, though it can be affected by strong side winds and by the backwash of air from big trucks. It’s not on its own in this as the van shape is inevitably going to be more prone to aerodynamic disturbance than that of a low-slung sedan. One jarring note was a fair bit of noise inside on bumpy roads as the front doors moved within their frames. A disappointing feature of an otherwise competent vehicle that’s built to a high standard. Though the emphasis is on comfort, handling isn’t too bad for this class. There’s good turn-in and the iMax tracks nicely around corners providing you don’t tackle them at silly speeds. More importantly in the real world, the Hyundai iMax is surprisingly easy to manoeuvre in tight conditions thanks to a tight turning circle.

06 HOLDEN VIVA WAGON

BY EWAN KENNEDY art of Hyundai’s first foray into the Australian light commercial vehicle market, the iMax is an eight-seat people-mover that is adapted from the same semi-bonneted body as the iLoad van. The tall, wide and boxy styling of the vehicles provides excellent interior space for people, in the case of the iMax, and a mix of people and goods in the iLoad. Importantly, both vehicles now have four stars out of five for occupant protection in the latest crash testing carried out by ANCAP (the Australian New Car Assessment Program). Only two, more expensive, German vans managed to equal the efforts of the Hyundais, no vehicle received the full five stars. Dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake distribution and electronic stability control are standard on the iMax. All eight occupants can be carried in reasonable comfort, unlike sleeker family people movers that cater for a mix of adults and children, typically four of the former and three of the little folk. Access to the rearmost seats through the sliding doors is easy. The first two rows of seats can slide backwards and forwards to provide numerous combinations of legroom. When the back seats aren’t in use the centre-row seats receive a huge amount of limo-like space. Even with a full complement of eight passengers, there a surprising amount of space in the rear of the iMax for luggage, partly thanks to a boot that’s deeper than average for its type. Indeed Hyundai is marketing iMax as an ‘executive shuttle’ because of its ability to carry eight adults in reasonable comfort, unlike most current, sleeker family people movers that cater for a mix of adults and children. Even with a full complement of eight passengers, there’s a surprising amount of space left over in the rear of the iMax for luggage. iMax comes with two four-cylinder engine choices: 2.4-litre petrol or 2.5litre common-rail turbo-diesel. Our test vehicle had the turbo-diesel.

Bush-bashing: Graeme McMahon, front, with co-drivers Con Sheahan and Mal Stewart covered 2600 kilometres, mostly on dirt roads, in their VH Commodore Station wagon during the Camp Quality Escarpade last month. Picture: Tommy Ritchie

GREG WANE

xcept for suffering a lump of wood jammed between a tyre and its body, Geelong’s entrant in Camp Quality’s Escarpade rally came through unscathed. Graeme McMahon, Mal Stewart and Con Sheahan spent the past 12 months fundraising and modifying a VH Commodore station wagon to take part in the rally last month, which is similar to the popular Variety Club version. A detailed list of mechanical and equipment modifications is required of each vehicle entering the rally and Graeme said many items were safety-related. “One of the most important things they ask of you is to fit flashing amber emergency lights on top of the car and reverse dust lights,” he said. “When you go off road and onto these dusty tracks you just cannot see the car in front for clouds of dust “The flashing amber lights on top and reverse dust lights allows us tosee the car in front.” Top take part in the rally the Geelong team had to drive the 1200 kilometres to Tamworth, which was the starting point of the event. After leaving Tamworth on October 16, teams traversed northern New South Wales before

two spare tyres, a jack, a 20-litre fuel container and an Australian road atlas or a GPS navigation device. The Commodore station wagon was also fitted with a cargo barrier. Graeme said taking part in Escarpade was basically a reward for a year’s fundraising among each of the teams. “In total Camp Quality got $1.3 million from the event. The winning team raised $166,000 and ran two cars,” Graeme said. “We raised money all through the year with a couple of events and sponsorships where businesses paid to have their logo displayed on the car. All up we raised $8550. “Camp Quality is a children’s family cancer charity that believes in bringing optimism and happiness to the lives of children and families affected by cancer through fun therapy and education.” Graeme said this year’s rally start in Tamworth required the Geelong team to drive nearly 15 hours before they even started the official part of the trek. “We left on Wednesday night, 13 October, and returned on Sunday, 24 October. It was a 1200-kilometre drive both ways.” This was the second year Graeme and his team have taken part in the rally. When asked whether he would enter again in 2011 he barely hesitated. “Yep, definitely. It starts in Bendigo next year, so we can leave in the morning and be there in time for the start,” he laughed. Graeme said prospective sponsors could contact him at Barwon Tyre Service, Belmont.

From there it was up to Warwick, north-east across the state to Maroochydore and Harvey Bay on the coast before heading inland again to Dalby, Inglewood, Goondiwindi and finishing a week later on October 23 in Warialda. “We did a total of 2600 kilometres and about 70 per cent was off road on dusty tracks,” Graeme said. “We got through unscathed as far as damage or mechanical problems go, all except for a lump of wood that got jammed up between the tyre and the body. “This happened on the worst section, between Inglewood and Goondiwindi.” Graeme said the area had a lot of bogs, deep mud holes and water crossings. “We picked up the lump of wood as we drove through one of these mud holes. “Some tracks we couldn’t go down because they were completely flooded. And some sections we had to be diverted around. “There were other tracks for which we were given the option of having a go at if we wanted to do it or not. Of course we said yes,” he laughed. Graeme said the required car modifications definitely helped get the Geelong team through the event.

Other items to be carried included a first-aid kit, a 40-channel UHF radio, a fire extinguisher,

“The netball groups who use the upgraded netball courts nearby will also be able to make use of the new change rooms and social rooms.” “This is a fantastic project that I am very pleased to be a part of.” Mayor John Mitchell, who holds council’s sports and recreation portfolio, credited the project funding commitments from the umpires league, City Hall, the AFL and state and federal governments. “The new rooms will be modern and functional for regular use as well as allowing the clubs to hold more effective meetings and enjoyable social events,” he said.

Excellent! A week of outstanding captures RARELY does angling in our region excel more than it did in the past week, with both fresh and saltwater rewarding dedicated anglers with outstanding captures. Peter Neville bag out on big snapper on two outings on Corio Bay. Fishing the evening high tides just out from North Shore rocks, his best fish was 8.1kg and all the others were around 4kg. Archer Knowles fished with soft plastics in the grammar school lagoon where he landed salmon, trevally and flathead on Gulp Turtleback worms and Squidgy Critters. Anglers nearby using sandworms also caught plenty of fish. Shaun Stirling cast soft plastics along Geelong’s waterfront where small flathead were common until a solid hook up resulted in a nice snapper of just over 2kg. Shaun followed up the next day with a fish of exactly the same size in the same location. I received a photo of a fantastic rock flathead taken from Griffin Gully Jetty. Unfortunately, I have no details of what it was taken with but one can report a 67cm, 2kg rocky taken from Rippleside Jetty on Monday morning with blue bait. I walked into Point Lillias where pike nailed my small, metal, baitfish-profile lures. Most fish were around 80cm mark and good fun on light tackle. Snapper captures were down on the outer-harbour spoilgrounds but a few 3kg were caught, with Gulp minnows performing best as the tide was running off from high. Clifton Springs was the best bet for a good snapper, with channel markers 15 and 17 yielding good numbers of fish and

On the bite BRIAN LONG similar reports from Wilson Spit. Bait choice has been critical, with fresh squid and pilchards best. Simon D’Antino fished this area for truly fantastic results, boating and releasing in excess of 30 fish in just two hot sessions. Simon nailed fish on both bait and lure. Squid numbers remained high, with all the inshore grass beds producing. Anglers found the squid fussy at times, requiring many changes of jig colourations. Swan Bay again produced salmon averaging just over 1kg, which is a lot of fun on light spin tackle. Tony Freeman found the fish working the surface a few hundred metres from the Swan Bay jetty where he landed upwards of 30 in a couple of hours. Whiting were more consistent but spread out. Edwards Point produced plenty 35cm on fresh squid, with similar results at St Leonards and Point Richards. Don Fraser and his brother fished Long Reef where they caught whiting to 40cm, with pippies the best bait and early morning the right time. Darryl Marks sent me some terrific photos of his catches of snapper off Frankston. Fishing the 20-metre line, he has caught

and released over 60 fish the past fortnight while using Gulp five and seveninch jerk shads. Offshore, snapper to 6kg were caught, with all the best reports in just 12 metres of water. Gummy and school shark were also available, with the fish generally easy to find on a sounder off Collendina. Black Rock again produced snapper around 1kg, while fishing the surf close to Lorne produced good numbers of fish. Corey Gallagher again demonstrated his expertise catching bream in the Barwon River estuary with a nice bag of fish to 40cm. Corey took his fish on both fresh baits and hard-bodied lures. Freshwater reports have been terrific, with quality trout taken at Lake Purrumbete on bait and trolled lures. Terry Shaw boated a cracker brown of 4.7kg, one of five he caught on an Atomic Shad trolled behind a cow bell attractor. Darren Lowe fished Gulp Crickets under a float out from Manifolds Bay where he caught six fish were to 2.3kg. Lake Bullen Merri was ideal for landbased anglers, with rainbows to 1.3kg happy feeding on Powerbait fished just over the drop-off. Anglers should remember to keep picture entries coming for the weekly Shimano soft plastics prize, valued at $350. Entries that don’t win still go into the draw for the Christmas draw to win over $2000 worth of Shimano products. Send reports, photos and Shimano prize entries to info@raylongtackle.com.au or visit Brian at Ray Long’s Fishing World, 105 Shannon Avenue, Manifold Heights.

GEELONG faces an uphill battle to avoid outright defeat tomorrow when it resumes its two-day match against Melbourne University. After winning the toss and electing to bat last Saturday, the Cats soon found themselves in big trouble as they slumped to 5/55. This scoreline may have surprised many in attendance, considering Geelong was fielding its strongest top order so far this campaign, with Aaron Finch returning from state duties. Liam Buchanan and Hayden Butterworth steadied the ship somewhat, taking the score to 80, but from there another collapse saw the score limp to 91 with just two wickets remaining. Returning veteran Trent Walerys, with the help of Marc Carson, at least gave themselves something to bowl at but when the last wicket fell at 138 it was always going to be a tough ask for the Cats. This proved to be correct as Melbourne Uni dominated the afternoon session, cruising to 2/179 at the close of play. Geelong’s best chance of staving off outright defeat tomorrow will be to restrict its opponent’s run-scoring to giving it as little time as possible to bowl Geelong out a second time. In Geelong Cricket Association division one action, Rob Condy has set up Manifold Heights for its first win of the season with a determined score of 89 in his side’s competitive total of 199 against Newtown & Chilwell. Batting first at Hirst Reserve, the Sharks left it up to too few, with Andrew Eslick, David Lineen and Justin Colbourne the only other batsmen to reach double figures. For the Two Blues, opening pair Levi Dare and Anthony Wilson led the way with four and three wickets respectively. A lot will depend on Newtown and Chilwell captain Ben Neville tomorrow. Not only is he the classiest batsmen in the side, he ranks up there in the top batsmen in the league when on song.

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE For the winner it will be a sense of relief when it scores its first victory in quite a while. For the loser, the wooden spoon beckons. In division two, St Albans Breakwater sent out an ominous warning to the rest of the competition that the form it carried through division three last season will well and truly cut it in this division. The team’s powerful bowling line up went to work, dismissing the Murgehbuloc for a measley 101. Ben Nichols was the only batsman to offer any resistance with 28, while with the ball Chris Jones claimed 4/18, Jason Murray took three scalps and Justin Miller claimed two. In reply, the Saints smashed their way to 6/199 on the back of a scintillating 70 by Rory Fitzgerald. After last season, St Albans Breakwater is no stranger to outright victories and will give another one a mighty shake tomorrow. Meredith scored a handy total of 9/229 declared in its division three match of the round against Corio. Heath Bush top scored for the Rams with 70, while Darren Armstrong leant good support with 60 of his own. For Corio, the Shelley brothers each claimed two wickets. Corio had to face out seven overs before the close of play and, while the team lost one wicket, the 16 runs it scored indicated it is not without a chance in this match. A loss for Meredith may have a few people raising their eyebrows at Ty Watts’ early declaration.
