The not-for-profit organisation, formerly United Way Geelong, operates under a transparent process to ensure funds raised locally stay in the region. Give Where You Live’s Bill Mithen was “thrilled with the Multi Sports Festival partnership. “Valuable funds will be raised that will help Give Where You Live fulfill its goal of alleviating income, health and education dis-

advantage in the Geelong region. We are excited to be part of this unique festival, which we know will become a major event on the region’s calendar.” Geelong Multi Sport Festival will feature events such as a children’s triathlon, a foreshore run/walk and a bay swim. Entries and more information on the festival is available at geelongmultisport.com.au.

BY ERIN PEARSON VICTORIA’S Supreme Court has ordered a new hearing on a controversial council plan to charge Jan Juc residents for footpaths, according to their solicitor. Glenys Dolphin said Justice Emilios Kyrou this week ruled that a previous planning tribunal decision stopping the userpays scheme was “worded inappropriately”. Justice Kyrou decided the wording justified granting Surf Coast Shire a remittal hearing at Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. “The judge’s reason for judgment was that the VCAT member failed to write a clear and concise judgment,” Ms Dolphin said. “The matter has been remitted back to VCAT to be heard again, from scratch, some time in 2012.” Ms Dolphin said council ignored a recommendation that objectors should be excluded from paying for the footpaths if the shire won at the remittal hearing. “Before making his judgment Justice Kyrou urged council to erase all 65 objectors from being liable from the scheme but council refused.”

The residents’ barrister, James McKay, said council argued in court that the tribunal was unable to set aside the scheme under the act. The shire planned to charge residents $1.3 million, with individual properties paying as much as $1000 each. Residents thought they had defeated the charge when VCAT’s Nicholas Hadjigeorgiou quashed the scheme because the proposed footpaths would “not benefit” many properties. But shire chief executive officer Mark Davies announced an appeal in May, saying the VCAT decision could have “significant impacts on councils throughout Victoria”. Council’s legal fees for the appeal were capped at $5000, he said. Lead objector Steve Burton said residents would continue fighting the charge scheme. Mr Burton said objectors would be “far better prepared” when the case returned to VCAT. “(The shire’s) refused to listen to the voice of ratepayers,” he said. Surf Coast Shire refuses to answer questions from the Independent.

to the ongoing success of the Multi Sport Festival, he said. The second annual festival will comprise three days of sport, entertainment and community activities on Geelong’s waterfront from February 10 to 12. Festival beneficiary Give Where You Live provides financial support to around 70 health and human care agencies operating in the Geelong region.

Action: Karen McQuitty at Corio Shopping Centre.

Corio centre’s cleaners strike BY MICHELLE HERBISON “OVERWORKED and understaffed” cleaners are preparing to strike at Corio Shopping Centre, according to a worker joining the industrial action. Karen McQuitty said she and her colleagues voted this week to take action against employer Spotless for extra pay and staff. Mrs McQuitty said Spotless had been uncooperative since taking over the centre’s cleaning nearly a year ago. “We’re constantly cleaning up after dirty, filthy people who deliberately come in and make an awful mess,” she said. “The workload we have to do is far too great for the amount of

staff we have and for what the job involves.” Mrs McQuitty said Spotless expected cleaners to service the centre’s toilets every 40 minutes while keeping all indoor and outdoor areas clean, including constant monitoring of the food court. Jess Walsh, of union United Voice, said some of the centre’s 12 cleaners would meet in Melbourne this week to discuss action with colleagues from other Victorian shopping centres. “Cleaners have no option but to take strike action to get Spotless to take them seriously. Spotless refuses to talk to them about safe workloads and a living wage,” Ms Walsh said.

A union statement said “impossible workloads” were stressing more than half of Spotless’s cleaners, who were dissatisfied with their low wages. Shopping centre manager Robyn Madeley said “contingency plans” would keep the facility “accessible” during the strike. Spotless released a statement saying the company “plays by the umpires rules”. Staff were paid award wages, Spotless said. The company also offered job security, training and legislative entitlements, unlike some other employers in the cleaning industry.

CHRISTMAS ORDERS NOW BEING TAKEN

AFL rebuffs Cats’ bid for increased funding tion of $3.25 million from the 2012 to 2016 fund. Greater Western Sydney, Gold Coast, Hawthorn and Adelaide also received the base amount. Western Bulldogs and North Melbourne received the highest allocations of $7 million each. “There are different levels of funding for different clubs. There was a base level for all clubs but an extra amount for different clubs based on needs,” Mr Keane said.

The allocations are funded out of the AFL’s new five-year broadcast rights. The Cats’ funding hit follows revelations its Simmonds Stadium redevelopment faces a $12 million funding shortfall. Club chief executive officer Brian Cook revealed this week that building tenders came in at $12 million above the estimated project cost. The club was forced to find cuts in the redevelopment of the Doug Wade stand.

Volunteer Eddie on Society high

The cuts included reducing plans for overall seating capacity from 34,500 to 33,500. The AFL said the $3.25 million allocation to Geelong was tied to stadium redevelopment. About $92 million of the $144 million future fund was “tagged” to specific initiatives, the AFL said. The funding for the most-constrained clubs was skewed to debt reduction, commercial growth and stadium revenue gaps. Gesture: Eddie Walpole prepares to set out on another mission for St Vincent de Paul Society. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 73945

BY ERIN PEARSON AT 71 years of age, Corio’s Eddie Walpole still manages weekly tai chi and Egyptology studies. But he considers his 34 years as a St Vincent de Paul Society volunteer as his proudest achievement. Eddie said adults he helped as children often approached him while shopping. “It’s surprising how many young children I see now grown up who still say ‘Hello, Eddie’,” he laughed. “We do more than just help people. When I visit I become part of the family, so we have a very big family now.” Eddie credited his parents with instilling “goodness” in him. “When the chance to volunteer with St Vincent de Paul alongside my wife came up I thought it would be a great gesture. “To see the happiness in people’s face when we visit, even to just say hello, feels wonderful. We get as much if not more out of it as they do.” Eddie will join other St Vincent de Paul stalwarts on Sunday to officially acknowledge members and volunteers for their hours of sacrifice helping the needy. St Vincent regional council president Peter Chiang said the society had about 400 volunteers from Winchelsea to Lara and along the coast. This year alone they undertook around 5500 home visits, he said. “[They’ve] reached out hands of friendship to anyone who has no one else to turn to, providing emergency assistance in finance, food, referrals, accommodation, companionship and, most of all, emotional support. “Many have done so at great personal financial and emotional expense.” Mr Chiang said the volunteers’ generosity had “amazed” him during his 13 years in Geelong. “We had one man who visited Geelong Hospital for 35 years every week to see patients who didn’t have family,” Mr Chiang said. “If he saw someone who was alone next to a patient with lots of flowers and visitors he’d go and buy them flowers out of his own pocket. “That really touched me.” Mr Chiang encouraged prospective volunteers to contact St Vincent de Paul’s Geelong office.

Deputy vote GEELONG’S 12 councillors will choose their popularly elected mayor’s deputy under new council election procedures from 2012, Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell has announced. Ms Powell said the direct election of the mayor had overwhelming support but the appointment of the deputy was “less clear cut”, with State Government opting for a councillors vote on a “rotational basis”.

Heart first GEELONG doctors have implanted a “bioabsorbable patch” in an Australian-first operation to correct heart defects, according to Barwon Health. A spokesperson said the catheter-applied patch eventually dissolved to be replaced with natural tissue for repairing defects without open-heart surgery.

Mine petition A PETITION with 850 signatures has landed in State Parliament calling for an independent study into the health impacts of Alcoa’s Anglesea coal mine, according to an activist group. Anglesea Air Action said Greens MP Greg Barber tabled the petition to coincide with State Government’s 50-year lease renewal on the mine.

Super racing SUPERBOATS are set to race on Corio Bay in Geelong this weekend. Offshore Superboat Championships organisers said up to 12 boats would compete in four classes, with the event’s “dry pits” open to the public.

Robot ride GEELONG has developed an “oversized robot arm” to spin riders through high-speed turns in any direction for a “whole new level” in flight simulation, according to a Deakin University professor. Prof Saeid Nahavandi said the simulator would provide jet fighter pilots of the future and other users a unique experience of “gut-wrenching G-forces”.

Link listed A PROPOSED rail link to Avalon Airport is on a Victorian Government list of infrastructure priorities, Premier Ted Baillieu has announced. Mr Baillieu said restoring rail services between Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo was also on the list of projects for Commonwealth funding bids.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN THE AFL is standing firm against a Geelong Cats push for a bigger allocation of funding, according to media manager Patrick Keane. “Our position hasn’t changed from when the Future Fund allocations were released,” Mr Keane said. The league had also yet to decide whether to grant Geelong president Colin Carter’s request for a face-toface meeting on the funding bid. Geelong received the base alloca-

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN SCATTERED car parts usually mean serious issues for the TAC. But the road safety organisation this week took delivery of a special car part – a bonnet artfully spray-painted with a timely message. The eye-catching bonnet was created under Diversitat’s You Turn program, teaching automotive skills to disaffected youth for reassimilating into the community. TAC purchased the Buy a Bonnet scheme’s first creation, with plans to display it in the organisation’s Brougham St headquarters. TAC community relations head Joe Calafiore said the participants had obviously worked hard on the bonnet with “brilliant results”. “We’ve been really pleased to support You Turn in its efforts to support young people to develop their skills towards long term employment.” You Turn coordinator Greg Mather said the program enabled participants to demonstrate their skills.

Picture: Tommy Ritchie 73538 “It creates a good link between the TAC and our cohort of young people, driving home the message about responsible driving and safety. “Our program is not just about the hands-on skills but

about life skills and making good choices when they are behind the wheel. “It reaches the youth demographic that so often shows up in road trauma statistics.” Diversitat chief Michael

Martinez said the resuscitated You Turn program, formerly Handbrake Turn, had been delivering “great results”. “We’d love to expand the Buy a Bonnet program to other organisations,” he said.

Police watch over ‘known arsonists’ BY MICHELLE HERBISON POLICE will crack down on arson offenders this summer as part of Operation Firesetter, according to a senior officer. Acting Senior Sergeant Paul Robson said every division of Geelong Police would focus on “people of interest”. Operation Firesetter would be particularly active on highrisk bushfire days, he said. The operation was a recommendation of Victoria’s Black Saturday Bushfires Royal Commission.

“We’ll be doing proactive patrols, both high-visibility and covert, and monitoring people we might consider to be of interest in the area,” Act Sen Sgt Robson said. Police were aware arsonists lived in the region so the force was taking a “prevention-is-better-than-cure approach,” he said. Geelong CFA commander John Mealia said residents of bushy or grassy areas could be held responsible for bushfires if they failed to adequately clean up their properties.

“The owner of the fuel also owns the fire,” he warned. “Just going out there, cleaning the gutters and raking some leaves can give people a false sense of being prepared.” Mr Mealia said “serious” fires could break out even on days with low-danger ratings despite emphasis on the risks of code red periods. The CFA system gave code reds when index ratings reached 100 for forest fires and 150 for grass fires. Mr Mealia said weather pre-

dicted for this summer threatened a heightened grass fire risk. But he called the predictions “normal” after years of drought, reducing summer grass growth. “It seems unusual because we’ve had so many years of drought, so people have lost touch with the risk of grass fires. “However, Victoria is one of the areas most prone to fire in the world. Normal can still be very, very serious.”

Trains will continue to operate between Warrnambool and Geelong.

The Independent, Friday November 25, 2011

Government support to keep regatta afloat GEELONG’S historic Festival of Sails will remain a “permanent fixture” on Victoria’s major events calendar, according to organisers. They said Premier Baillieu had “signalled” that local and state government support would help maintain the 168-year-old regatta in Geelong. Mr Baillieu has raised an event flag at Royal Geelong Yacht Club to launch the 2012 festival. Car manufacturer Audi sponsored last year’s event after taking over naming rights from international finance company Skandia. Audi declined to sign on again for 2012. Festival executive officer Mark Turnbull said January’s “shoreside festival” was shaping up as another “successful event” for Victoria. “This event would not be possible if it was not for the substantial support of both the State Government and City of Greater Geelong,” he said. “The Festival of Sails has a rich history of delivering strong economic and community benefits to the state and city of Geelong. “While the regatta element of the Festival of Sails will showcase the world’s best sailor over a week of competition on Port Phillip and Corio bays, the event is focussed on providing an opportunity for all visitors to be exposed to the wide range of accessible, healthy lifestyle activities that our fantastic bays and beaches provide us.” Mr Turnbull said the festival would feature a variety of entertainment and activities free to the public. More than 400 yachts and over 4500 participants from around Australia and overseas “consistently” attended the event. The Festival of Sails begins in Melbourne on January 21 before concluding in Geelong on January 29 after a week of racing.

All-week health centre for coast TORQUAY will have a new seven-day-a-week medical centre after council’s planning committee approved plans last week. The centre will include doctors’ rooms, pathology and allied health services including physiotherapy, dentistry, speech therapy and a chiropractor. Surf Coast Shire’s planning committee also approved plans for a 44-seat cafe abutting the medical centre. The development, on Geelong Rd, includes purpose-built, single-storey buildings for up to eight practitioners to operate between 8am to 8pm. The food and drink premises would be able to trade during the same hours. The plan attracted three objections. Surf Coast Shire’s planning officer set aside the plan due to concerns the building would appear “suburban rather than coastal” but the planning committee gave the project a green light. Planning documents said two existing houses on the the 2720-square-metre site between Cowrie Rd and Central Ave would be demolished for the development. Surf Coast Medical Centre trialed six-minute appointments last year to cope with a shortage of doctors. Applicant Ahmed Elzahbi had not responded to the Independent’s calls for comment before the paper went to press.

A Victoria Police spokesperson said the drivers’ vehicles were also observed overtaking across continuous white lines. A 21-year-old Irre-willipe man had his car impounded and two 18-year-olds from Colac lost their licences, the spokesperson said.

HAVE YOUR SAY NOTICE OF PREPARATION OF AMENDMENT AMENDMENT C245 - AUTHORISATION A02069 PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT ACT 1987 GREATER GEELONG PLANNING SCHEME The City has prepared Amendment C245 to the Greater Geelong Planning Scheme. In accordance with Section 8A(3) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987, the Minister for Planning authorised the City as the planning authority to prepare the amendment. The amendment affects all land subject to Design and Development Overlay Schedule 14 - ‘Dwellings over 7.5 metres’ (DDO14), which generally includes most residential areas in the municipality. The amendment seeks to implement the findings of the “Review of Design and Development Overlay 14 - Dwellings over 7.5 metres in height” (November 2010) and proposes to retain a modified DDO14 permanently in areas that have been identified as having access to significant views within the municipality.

facing retailers and there are quite a few,” the New Vision Eyewear proprietor said. “The network will advocate for retail, find out what it really wants and how we can help them. “Retail is under pressure from the downturn in the economy, internet retailing and people deciding to save instead of spend.” Retailing in central Geelong would be a focus of the network. “Central Geelong is going through a transition but I wouldn’t put the old girl down yet – there’s still life in her,” Mr

Sisley said. “There are still retail benefits in working out of the central area as long as all stakeholders work together for a fair go for everyone.” Mr Sisley said Geelong Regional Traders spokesperson Hayden Spurling had been “a great supporter of retail in Geelong”. “Hayden is knowledgeable and a great asset representing retailers but he’s not backed up by an organisation like the chamber. “But we felt it was time retail received a wider voice because the chamber represents more

than 600 members. “The face of retail is changing and we have to work out where retail is going in the next 10 or 20 years.” Mr Spurling, who runs Ryrie St’s Squire Shoppe, said he still had a close association with the chamber as a former director. “We’ll still provide a voice to express concerns to various levels of government on issues affecting retailers regionally. “The chamber is becoming stronger in its representations, as it should, because it has a variety of retail members. “I anticipate we will cooperate and work together.”

Corio-Norlane. “This involves the development of a formal boulevard between Corio Village and Waterworld. “We’ve looked closely at Corio Shopping Centre and local shopping strips and can see opportunities for expansion, diversification and upgrades.” Cr Fisher encouraged residents to comment on the draft structure plan. State Government last week announced an $82 million housing plan for Norlane. The Structure Plan will be on public display for 10 weeks from December 1 at the Corio Customer Service Centre and 131 Myers St, Geelong.

Councillor Cameron Granger said City Hall had identified land opposite Bacchus Marsh Rd’s MC Herd abattoir as a potential site for the commercial centre. “To stimulate investment and create local employment we will be encouraging a new business precinct,” he said. “There have been a couple of attempts by developers to establish a business park and residential development there. “It could be similar to the Beckley Park commercial area, so it might offer a furniture retailer or a small warehouse and shopfront or might accommodate online traders who need a base to

The Victorian Government has extended the savings on electricity bills for concession card holders throughout the year. The Annual Electricity Concession which replaces the Winter Energy Concession provides a 17.5% rebate on electricity bills all year round. Concession card holders who previously only received electricity concessions in winter ending on 31 October will now continue to receive a concession during the summer months. Please check your electricity bill to see that you are continuing to receive your concession.

Are you eligible?

For more information on the Annual Electricity Concession call your electricity retailer or the Victorian Concessions Information Line on 1800 658 521

Or visit

www.dhs.vic.gov.au/concessions

Holders of a pensioner card, health care card or veterans concession card may be eligible. Recipients of the Winter Energy Concession will automatically receive the Annual Electricity Concession – your electricity retailer will apply the 17.5% discount to your electricity bill.

Opposed: Joan Lindross for many years and respected environmental issues. But Geelong Environment Council president Joan Lindros said the project would “destroy and fragment” nearby Lake Victoria wetlands. Ms Lindros said endangered plants and animals were at risk. “If the plan goes ahead there’ll be degradation of internationally significant bird habitat. Orangebellied parrots and protected fauna and flora are in the area.” Ms Lindros was disappointed

council had “passed the buck”. “We made a submission and council had the opportunity to go back and fix the problems. We’re not opposed to the re-jig of the golf course but they haven’t made good environmental decisions.” Ms Lindros said an environmental effects study (EES) of the proposal was unsatisfactory. “I find it quite extraordinary that the people at the golf club and those doing the EES didn’t realise what a responsibility they had.” A report to council said 20 of the submissions had concerns about the proposed residential rezoning. Most of the residential objectors lived near the Fellows Rd site, the report said. They suggested the 100 new houses would impact on views, remove vegetation, impact on “the character of the road” and create traffic and safety issues. Lonsdale Golf Club declined to comment on the “sensitive” issue until the panel had made recommendations.

BY MICHELLE HERBISON SUPPORTERS have overwhelmed objectors in submissions on a proposed redevelopment of Lonsdale Golf Course, according to council documents. Council received 140 submissions in support and 26 against the plan to extend the course and include 100 residential allotments. Councillors voted this week to ask Planning Minister Matthew Guy to appoint an independent panel to review the plans. Submissions in support highlighted the golf club’s sport, social and community benefits to Point Lonsdale. One submission said the club must upgrade to remain competitive with other clubs. “It’s a very long-standing community and social facility, a tourism asset and very important to the lifestyle of members,” the submitter said. Another submission noted the club had adjoined the wetlands

FORMER Cats captain Ben Graham has grabbed another crack at punting in America’s National Football League, this time with Detroit Lions. US reports said Graham punted twice in the Lion’s win over the Carolina Panthers, averaging a net gain of 35.5 yards with a long punt of 49. Starting punter Ryan Donohue injured a quadriceps muscle, so the Lions called Graham. But he was in Australia for family reasons and was unable to return to the US in time, so the team

signed back-up punter Robert Malone. The club called Graham again after Malone turned in a poor performance two weeks ago. Arizona Cardinals fired Graham in September after helping the team make the 2009 Superbowl. The Lions are Graham’s fourth NFL team after also punting for the New York Jets and New Orleans Saints. Graham quit the AFL after 219 games with Geelong to pursue his NFL career in 2004.

P-plate â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trialâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for behaviour

Trial: Terry Mulder. The trial would focus on highrisk behaviours among new drivers to improve safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad fact that young drivers are some of the safest drivers on our roads while on their L plates but are most at risk of crashing in the first six to 12 months of driving on their Ps,â&#x20AC;? Mr Mulder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be recruiting 26,400 young drivers in Victoria and 1600 in NSW to participate in the trial.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re calling on the community and asking everyone to encourage young drivers to get involved and help keep them and their mates safe on our roads.â&#x20AC;? Mr Mulder said the project was part of a number of initiatives including regional road safety campaign Talk the Toll Down and tougher anti-hoon laws. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen a drop in the road toll,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In July the road toll was 10 more than last year. Today it is 12 less than last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is early days but we hope to see this trend continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also called for community input into a new road safety slogan for Victorian number plates.â&#x20AC;? Participants can win movie tickets and bowling passes, with a final draw prize of a Toyota Yaris. Mr Mulder said potential participants could log on to www.mylivetribe.com.au or phone 1800 454 133 for more information.

BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN A RESEARCH program aimed at changing P-plate driver behaviour has attracted 165 Geelong volunteers, according to State Government. Transport Minister Terry Mulder said 52 of the 165 P-plate drivers had already been allocated into the MyLiveTribe project. Mr Mulder said the researchbased trial had a program group with 30 participants and a control group with 22 participants so far. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program group will undertake the behaviour-change program over four to six weeks and the project will monitor their driving experience over 15 months,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The survey group will do exactly the same monitoring component but not the program.â&#x20AC;? Mr Mulder said the first session for Geelong was scheduled for December 14 under the direction of BRACE Education Training Employment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Geelong program is being delivered by Geelong-based facilitators and coaches,â&#x20AC;?

INVITATION TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE G21 REGIONAL GROWTH PLAN OUR REGION IS GROWING - HOW DO YOU WANT IT TO LOOK?

Crucial: Kim Carr launches the new high-tech bio-security laboratory. Picture: Tommy Ritchie 73754

The G21 Regional Growth Plan is one of eight plans being developed across Victoria to respond to the challenges associated with growth. It will identify opportunities for accommodating future residential growth, employment and associated infrastructure in our region.

Tight security at city bio lab

An initial phase of the project has involved the development of draft principles for regional growth, and a set of growth scenarios for the future to encourage discussion about how our region should look and function in the future.

YOU ARE INVITED We are inviting the community to tell us what they think about the draft principles and scenarios for the growth of our region. Your feedback will help to guide the development of the draft G21 Regional Growth Plan.

BY ERIN PEARSON GEELONG’S CSIRO facility is now host to the world’s mostadvanced bio-security laboratory, according to federal Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research Kim Carr. Mr Carr opened the new facility at East Geelong last week, saying it would allow researchers from across the globe to work together on some of the world’s most dangerous diseases. Scientists would conduct their work in the highest levels of biological containment at the CSIRO’s Australian Animal Health Laboratory (AAHL). “Establishing facilities like

referred to as a One Health approach, which links human, animal and environmental health professionals together,” Professor Jeggo said. “The One Health approach is becoming crucial with around 70 per cent of emerging diseases of humans originating in animals, for example Hendra, bird flu and SARS.” AAHL has developed a significant international reputation as one of the world’s finest animal bioscience research laboratories. The facility is one of the most sophisticated laboratories in the world for the safe handling and containment of infectious microorganisms.

BOUQUETS to a surgeon and staff at Geelong Private Hospital for my recent prompt operation for a lumpectomy and Priscilla, Newtown

BOUQUETS to Afghan Grill House for great food and service. The food was flavoursome, with plenty of variety. Portion sizes were good, prices reasonable and the staff attentive and helpful with selections. It’s great to see this style of food in Geelong. Alvin, Hamlyn Heights BUCKETS to Terry for complaining about my complaining (Buckets and Bouquets, November 18). Like many taxpayers, he’s under the illusion that working Aussies have more value than disabled pensioners, even though I work 20 hours a day voluntarily for my community. I work seven days a week for $720 a fortnight, bro.

BOUQUETS to Norlane and Corio residents who take pride in their houses’ street appeal. Maintained lawns and tidy gardens seem to be a growing trend. Keep up the inspiring work. Dean, Norlane BOUQUETS to Annoyed Garden Lover (Buckets and Bouquets, November 18). I suggest to call council on 5272 5272 to ask for the health department because stray cats come under health and local laws and cat control under by-laws. A trap can be provided. My experience was cats and ferrets. Also Annoyed, South Geelong BOUQUETS to the friendly staff at Dog Rocks Hotel. The meals were awesome and well-priced. Happy Customer, Newtown BUCKETS to an elderly man who insists on driving his scooter on a road when a footpath is available. He endangers himself and others. He should do the right thing and get off the road. Annoyed Person, Grovedale BUCKETS to the obvious two. We always win in the end. You must know that by now. Gnu, St Leonards BOUQUETS to John of John’s Sewing Machine Repairs for his friendliness, personality and helpful nature when repairing my machines so quickly. All it takes is an urgent phone call and John asks for the machines to be brought in to be fixed while the customers wait. Jeanette, Ocean Grove BUCKETS to a thief who stole my new ceramic water filter from our unlocked car. It was my fault for forgetting thieves were in our midst. The filter was going to be a present for my sick wife. With Christmas around the corner, readers should remember to lock their cars. Pensioner, Waurn Ponds

P roudly Presents:

JOHN VAN KLAVEREN IT’S NOT exactly a club but people can join. Roslyn Playgroup Coordinator Lisa Dundas thought that might allow the group to qualify for a profile in Join the Club. “I really enjoy Join the Club and wanted to suggest our playgroup as a possible example for it,” Lisa emailed. She explained that Roslyn Playgroup was a not-for-profit, community group run with volunteer parents. “People join Roslyn Playgroup for all sorts of reasons. They might be new to the area and want to meet other parents and children or want a chance for their kids to play and socialise. “We run weekly play sessions for children up to five years and have about 160 children from 110 member families at the moment. “We’re one of the largest playgroups in Geelong but there are lots of great playgroups in Geelong. “For parents and caregivers, playgroup is a chance to meet other parents in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.” Lisa said the parents weren’t the only members benefitting from the playgroup. “Each group decides how they’d like to run but usually the kids share morning or afternoon tea, have time for free play and do an activity. “The kids love it. They play dress-ups, do play dough, craft

Playgroup gives children the chance to practice problem-solving, physical and social skills. “I joined Roslyn Playgroup nearly four years ago when we were new to Geelong. “I’ve met lots of fantastic people through playgroup, watched our kids grow and learn new things and seen new babies arrive. “We’ve shared tips, triumphs, hard days and milestones. We all pitch in to help run the group because we see how much the kids love it.” Lisa said Roslyn Playgroup had a large indoor space with a fenced outdoor playground at Wandana Heights’ hall, with up to 15 families in each session.

“Our families mostly live in Belmont, Highton, Wandana Heights, Waurn Ponds and Grovedale but everyone is welcome.” Lisa said the playgroup provided a range of toys, books and art and craft supplies. Special events included Easter egg hunts and excursions, while the playgroup Christmas party featured a petting zoo, miniature train rides, a magic show, facepainting, a Santa visit and presents for the kids. “Our emphasis is on being welcoming so we offer a free trial for all new families,” Lisa said Roslyn Playgroup, a member of Playgroup Victoria, has opened enrolments for 2012. Lisa said prospective members should visit roslynplaygroup.com. au for more information or phone 0466 236 489.

letters Club contravention

ENROLMENT U3A Geelong: DAY The University of

I WAS surprised to read John Royle’s and Dennis Smith’s replies in last week’s Independent to my concerns over the foreshore at St Leonards. I sent a copy of my letter in the Independent the week before to Bellarine Bayside Committee of Management, whose CEO replied: “I advise that I have this day advised the club that they are in contravention of their lease conditions in providing a cafe bar and that should they cease doing so”. I was not surprised because the letters from club members in the Independent confirmed most of my concerns. They agreed that: the club had fenced off foreshore land as a beer garden; the club had erected cafe barriers advertising beer and blocking nine metres of the 10m public access with signs saying it is a licensed area for serving liquor; the club’s signs advertise the cafe bar to visitors; the extension of the concrete path, enlarged tower and wooden deck had increased the club’s footprint. I walk this area most days. To my knowledge, there were no planning application signs or any information for the public prior to work commencing. I agree cyclists are dangerous on footpaths but I am told pedestrians and families want a continuous footpath along the public foreshore. I hope Bellarine Bayside looks after the interests of walkers and families who use this area every day and that it continues to agree that a beer garden and beer signs are inappropriate in this prime position.

WHILE the quest for an appropriate icon for Geelong shouldn’t be stymied (Letters, November 18), it does place the cart before the horse. To accelerate an icon’s relevance and credibility, regional governance needs to be tweaked and a vehicle for attuned and uncluttered passage to state, federal and private sector funding as well as international connections is required. Committee for Geelong chair Michael Betts’ call for Geelong to get over the hump via an autonomous planning authority needs to be acted upon by the Baillieu Coalition. Human nature being what it is, hidden agendas, lobby groups, a myriad committees, chambers, councils, elite sporting organisations, cash-cow state-entrusted monopolies and academia don’t speak with one voice. A few examples of what an autonomous, independent authority could drive include: the Bellarine Peninsula corridor obtaining self-governance; Avalon

achieving international passenger and freight status; Deakin University further developing its CBD residential faculty status; development of McAdam Park at next to no dollars to achieve its untapped international motorcycling status; input into Great Ocean Road infrastructure replacement; completion of Geelong’s Western Wedge redevelopment; and conversion of Symonds Stadium to a multi-purpose facility. Agreed, the Baillieu Government didn’t expect to gain governance, let alone be encumbered with massive ill-conceived unfinished business but strong and what would be unpopular leadership in some vested quarters is required. Most families in an industrial region, despite the cosmetics and bravado, continue to bump along the bottom. More enlightened governance would provide a waft of optimism. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Climate of ignorance I WONDER when people like Thomas Watson (Letters, November 18) will objectively study the science of global warming before committing to opinion. He suggested that gases such as carbon dioxide, because they have an above-average molecular weight, should settle in the turbulent atmosphere. The reality is that they don’t and, if it were true, then by the same reasoning we might expect salt would sink to the bottom of the sea. In any event, carbon dioxide molecules will retard heat loss from Earth at any height in the atmosphere. I cannot understand why climate deniers accept the theoretical principles we use for heat transfer engineering and spectrophotometry yet when the same principles are used to calculate climate change they are invalid. It is high time newspapers ceased to publish letters that are so fundamentally flawed in the interest of saving our planet. Don Bartlett Indented Head

Abbott rightful PM KEVIN Rudd was ousted before the election because it was thought the Labor party would lose with him at the helm. It was deemed imperative that Julia Gillard, who replaced him, should do her utmost to win. That to me shows desperation on her part, so it is ridiculous to point the finger at Tony Abbott who, in my opinion, should have won the election. Christina Dengler Norlane

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S COMING up to that time when again we get hit by the November cyclone. The damage is devastating, with broken glass, ripped-out signs, damaged trees, rubbish strewn everywhere and the noise is unbearable. And the poor inhabitants of this lovely coastal village canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do a thing about it. The Bureau of Meteorology gives every cyclone a name. Funnily enough, down here they keep using the same name every year: Schoolies. Good luck, everyone Rob MacDonald Torquay

Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neglect FOR MORE than a decade Labor governments in Victoria starved local schools of the funding needed to carry out essential and necessary maintenance of classrooms used to educate young children. Premiers Steve Bracks and John Bumby wasted the money that should have been

applied to these works on poorly conceived and poorly managed projects. Laborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neglect of education has left a backlog of works with a bill already approaching $5 million. Federal Member for Corangamite Darren Cheeseman allowed his Labor colleagues to go unchallenged in their neglect of school maintenance funding. Every time Mr Cheeseman talks about a Victorian Government school in need of maintenance he reminds parents and teachers of yet another school neglected by Victorian Labor Governments and the Gillard-Brown Government. This is the same Mr Cheeseman who has betrayed people in the Geelong region by turning his back on Julia Gillardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment on behalf of all Labor MPs that â&#x20AC;&#x153;there will be no carbon tax under the government I leadâ&#x20AC;?. The real challenge for Mr Cheeseman is to explain to the people of Corangamite why he has chosen to put local jobs at risk by voting for a toxic tax that will hit the Geelong region first and hardest. Michael Ronaldson Liberal patron Senator for Corangamite

Fall of the west MY SIMPLISTIC view on the ugly side of capitalism is that in essence itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a moral or ethical problem. Take the issue of executive salaries, for example. Not that far back in time the salaries of public company heads were not revealed to shareholders. This naturally created suspicion, so it was argued they should be trans-

parent and that this would also help keep a lid on. How wrong was that. What it did was trigger a race to the top as salary levels became a corporate status symbol. They were never high enough. Bonuses linked to profits soon became part of this insatiable appetite for more and more, so doing whatever it took to become more profitable, under guise of shareholder value, became the new company mantra. Many companies have also become cynical and will jump on political bandwagons like global warming, doing their bit to save the planet but which consumers pay for, of course. There are many examples, particularly in the energy sector. Good corporate citizen stuff and all that. Yuck. I could go on but, suffice to say that in this post-Christian age of pagan capitalism, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about economic Darwinism, or the survival of the fittest. The west can only fix itself if there is a renewal of the human spirit. The bedrock of a happy, prosperous society is its moral order upon which the social, economic and political order is built. Indeed we are. Brian Handley Geelong

North housing a heroin scourge HEROIN abuse continues in Geelongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s north unabated. Visiting a local pharmacy, I was informed by the assistant the huge bin of methadone cups tucked by the back counter was the first of two the pharmacy would dispose of for the day. The plans by the housing department to build expensive new public housing stock in the area are going to be a futile gesture unless the heroin scourge is cleaned up once and for all.

The destruction of Labuan Square Shopping Centre is a tragic example of desperation of the Department of Human Services tenants trashing it to obtain resources for drugs. They must be made to adhere to their contracts not to have illicit drugs in their houses and be subjected to random drug tests, not only for their own sakes but also for the general community.

WHY IS TOURISM SO IMPORTANT TO GEELONG?

By helping us to show people that Geelong is a great destination you’re helping everyone in Geelong. Tourism employs thousands of people in the region and generates millions of dollars in revenue. Many young people get their ﬁrst jobs in tourism and hospitality. We all know that. But you probably didn’t know that almost half of the visitors to Geelong are friends and relatives of Geelong people. This makes you the best ambassadors for tourism that we’ve got. So we’re asking you to share your favourite things and learn about something new on the website we’ve created at www.mygeelong.org.au We’ve created this website and awareness campaign to make sure everyone in Geelong knows just what a fantastic place they live in and all the wonderful things to do and see in the region. A special thanks to our sponsors below and all the participants who have helped to make this program possible. Have a great summer! The Tourism Geelong Team.

Theatre

Geelong play makes waves home has been flooded. She must decide whether to stay or move to the coast. “The Depth follows the life of a middle-age man caught in the global financial crisis. He thinks he’s lost everything before finding himself on a Portarlington crayfish boat. “The Knowing is about a couple in a long-term relationship who both have a secret they’re about to reveal. “Snap shows two people meeting on a cliff top who are both about to end it all.” Brown said before compiling Defection she was lucky enough to meet the real-life Giersch who helped inspire the final script. “I was instantly drawn to her story, which really resonated with me as Heidi and I share a birthday but I grew up in Melbourne. “I wondered what might I have done if I’d lived in East Berlin and had an opportunity to defect.” Tina Rettke, who plays Giersch in the production, said scoring the role was a “dream come true”. Making Waves will be at Lorne’s Qdos Arts on November 26, Portarlington’s Port Pier Cafe on December 2, Queenscliff’s Uniting Church on December 4, Geelong’s Wintergarden on December 9 and Geelong West’s Woodbin Theatre on December 10.

BY ERIN PEARSON THEATRE is about more than bright lights and fanfare for Geelong playwright Janet Brown. It’s about utilising local talent and presenting it to the country. Brown has written, in conjunction with Geelong writer/producer Sandy Fairthorne, a five-play production titled Making Waves. The five separate plays come together with their own unique take on the ocean, Brown said. She felt “proud” to combine theatre, music and art across her latest masterpiece. “Theatre usually starts in Melbourne then tours the region but we’re doing the opposite, we’re trying a new model and so far it’s working,” Brown said. “We have a very strong team and I think sometimes people often don’t realise what we have down in this region. “The talent is exceptional.” Brown said Making Waves’ five pieces were titled Defection, Water Water, The Depth, The Knowing and Snap. “Defection is the story of Heidi Giersch’s defection to Australia in the 1980s while on tour with an East German ballet company. It draws attention to the oppression in East Berlin at the time. “Water Water is a monologue about a woman whose inland

n the bridge above Yarra St in Westfield Geelong now lie two venues delivering more than just great views of Corio Bay. Bridge Room Cafe is proud to announce the opening of a new express service right across the walkway. Renowned for its award-winning coffee, Bridge Room Cafe’s superior service is now available for people on the go. Owner Con Petropoulos says the Bridge Room Express kiosk is perfect for anyone in a rush who still wants to enjoy his establishment’s food and beverages without sacrificing the quality. Con says the main difference is the express service also sells premium Italian gelato. “We’re one of the only places in Geelong where you can get premium Italian gelato. “The ten flavours include chocolate, vanilla, rum and raisin and caramel, all just across the walkway. “Bridge Room Express also has its own seating for anyone wishing to stay, so customers can get the best of both worlds.” Both Bridge Room Cafe and Bridge Room Express serve a wonderful selection of cakes, wraps, foccacias and daily specials. The two are open from 8am to 5.30pm Monday to Thursday, to 9pm Friday and until 5pm week-

That 70s show in Barwon gig BY JOHN VAN KLAVEREN BELLARINE Peninsula â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s rock band Shed Zeppelin will play the Barwon Club for the first time as part of a tribute supergroup showdown. Harking back to 1975, the showdown will feature the music of two of the biggest bands in the world. Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones were pumping out some of the greatest and most influential rock music of a generation. Shed Zeppelin will headline the Barwon Club show, performing all the classics from the originial bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catalogue such as Rock and Roll, Black Dog, Kashmir and Whole Lotta Love. Seasoned Zep fans will revel in faithful renditions of such as Dazed and Confused, Heartbreaker, Achilles Last Stand, the acoustic Going to California and, of course, Stairway to Heaven. Shed Zeppelin has combined raw organic energy with the musical precision that defined the magic of the live Led Zeppelin experience since its unveiling at Ocean Grove two years ago. Now with the addition of flamboyant Melbourne front man Andrew Simpson to centre stage, the band has become a full-blown â&#x20AC;&#x153;Zeptacularâ&#x20AC;?. Gigging regularly in Melbourne, Shed Zeppelin has

The Sphinx will return to the big-hair era of the 1980s this weekend.

Back to the ’80s orth Geelong’s Sphinx Hotel will go back in time this Saturday night for a groovy take on the ’80s. Time Warp Saturdays at The Cazbar will offer a fun-filled environment for the over-18s market. Owner George Ramia says Time Warp will be a classy evening-out complete with ’80s arena rock to match. “We want to offer a place where the over 18s crowd can go and feel comfortable and also get to listen to a great band,” George says. “Women love to dress up, so we’d like the men to make an effort as well.

“There has already been a lot of interest in the event and we’ve had calls and emails from around 120 people already. “We’re hoping to make this a monthly event.” Cover bands playing the songs of groups like KISS, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Poison and Warrant will provide entertainment to a backdrop of lights and lasers. Once-a-month resident cover band Glam Slam will feature along with a cocktail hour from 9pm to 10pm. “Most people we spoke to also want the night to be a bit dressier than the average night out at the

pub, so the dress code will be strictly neat attire with no runners,” George advises. Time Warp’s entry fee is $12. The Sphinx also offers a Pharaohs’ Bistro, Sportsbar/TAB, a nightclub every Friday and Saturday night, a function room for up to 350 guests, hotel accommodation and a drive-through bottle shop. The Sphinx is also calling for interest in an over-38s Sunday afternoon singles gathering. Anyone interested in attending should contact the venue. Bookings are available by phoning 5278 2911.

ONE OF Australian rock’s masters of the one-man show will return to Geelong for a “special evening”, according to promoters. The promoters said Colin Hay would visit the city after sold out launch shows in Australia earlier this year to support the release of his album Gathering Mercury. Hay has gone from strength to strength in North America, selling out venues across the continent. This summer the former Men at Work frontman returns to Australia for his biggest solo tour here in years. Armed with an acoustic guitar and decades of road experience, Hay is an entertainer in the true sense of the word. The set list for his solo shows is meshed together with new tunes from Gathering Mercury, songs from his catalogue as a solo song writer and from his time with Men At Work. “There is a subtle thread through the show that bonds the audience and performer. You’ll get more than you thought you’d get, and then at the end, you’ll want more still,” the promoters said. Hay admitted he was probably best known as lead singer for Men At Work but he said his new album was “the best” he’d ever done. His latest work was recognised with an ARIA Award nomination for Best Adult Contemporary Album. “I’ve been singing, playing guitar, writing songs and trying to entertain people since I was 14,” Hay said. “I feel, at the present time, that I may, on any given night, be getting the hang of it!” Hay will perform at Geelong Performing Arts Centre on February 24.

odytek Automotive’s team has turned the high tech business of car customisation into an art form. The highly experienced crew offers transformations that deliver the “wow factor” in large doses, owner Kyle Mortimer says. Bodytek’s wide range of services will enhance not only the inside and outside of your vehicle but also under the bonnet as well. Kyle says Bodytek’s exterior work is second to none and includes spray painting and standard repairs to full custom paint jobs, body kit fitting and sales and much more. It also offers custom high performance upgrades including the fitting and sales of high-end turbo charges and intercoolers, and all the extra upgrades and tuning to get the most out of any performance vehicle. Bodytek’s team has over 20 years combined experienced with high performance vehicles. The company works in conjunction with the Geelong company Teknocure in fitting specialist electronics, onboard computers, telecommunications and hands free gear, in car entertainment and GPS equipment, Kyle said. He said Bodytek opened its doors just five months ago and already is carving out a strong market presence for itself. “We specialise in Japanese and imported vehicles but as time goes on we are upgrading and individualising more local makes and models,” Kyle says. He says he offers a wide range of services to suit a wide range of budgets. “Typically our clients pay as little as $120 for a basic service and up to $50,000 or more to really stand out.” Bodytek Automotive is at 39 Fyans Street Newtown, phone 5224 2300.

TO ADVERTISE CALL 1300 858 178 Visit www.geelongjobs.com.au The Independent, Friday November 25, 2011

sport Cats start again against Casey DESPITE a majestic century to Aaron Finch last Saturday, Geelong Cricket Club faces the bizzarre scenario of beginning Saturday’s match against Casey South Melbourne with no runs on the board. With not enough games able to begin last Saturday due to rain, the day’s play is virtually wiped off the slate and all teams will begin new oneday matches this weekend. The Cats will be disappointed with this after setting themselves up beautifully on the back of Finch’s 159 from just 114 balls. Finch was playing his first game of the season for Geelong after being unavailable due to state and international duties. With Victoria having to play this weekend, it remains to be seen whether he’ll be able to pull on the whites for Geelong because last week’s innings was sure to have caught the eye of the selectors. Tom Elliott returned to some form of his own last week and should have the confidence to back it up, while the bowlers will be itching to have a crack

Local Cricket JIM TIMBERLAKE themselves. Geelong Cricket Association made the decision to cancel all of the day’s cricket last Saturday morning, meaning this week’s play will be one-day fixtures. While this won’t change much in the division one match of the round between Grovedale and East Belmont, the shortened format may make the result a little predictable in some other clashes. As is the nature of one-day cricket, it can only take a quick half century by a batsman or a bowler

grabbing a few fast wickets to change the course of the game. For some middle of the table sides, this could be a chance to grab a crucial victory. Impact players around the league, such as Ben Neville, Ben O’Brien, and Josh Jansenn, will relish the opportunity to make an impact with the bat, while it may take a game-changing spell from bowlers like Travis Faulkhead, Ben Knight and Anthony Armistead to take home the bacon for the teams. In division two, Murgheboluc has snuck under the radar to find itself on top of the table after round four. If it can defeat St Albans Breakwater tomorrow it will have to be regarded as a major threat this season. Perhaps the first masterstroke Murgheboluc made was to add Michael Dunn to it’s coaching roster in the off-season. The former star East Belmont batsman knows what it takes to succeed in local cricket and will no doubt be instilling in his charges the fierce competitiveness he displayed throughtout the years.

With the recruiting of some quality players such as Sriram Krishnamurthy, the Frogs’ established players, such as the Watsons and the Grozdanovskis, will look forward to competing against the top sides in the division. In division three, it’s almost impossible to predict which team should be considered favourite at this stage. Most of the usual suspects, such as Modewarre, Teesdale and Winchelsea, are performing as expected, while Lethbridge and Bannockburn are thereabouts. Meredith is probably one of the teams with the talent at its disposal to make a charge for the finals but will need to start transferring a good team on paper to results on the field to be taken seriously. With the current logjam in the middle of the ladder, all teams should be ensuring they do everything possible between now and the Christmas break to gain as many points as possible because once the new year starts it’s almost impossible to come from too far back to claim the premiership.

Persistency pays off as anglers battle through inclement weather On the bite BRIAN LONG ANGLERS struggled to land fish in difficult conditions over the past week, although persistency was rewarded with some outstanding captures. John Mole and Brendan Sheedy hit the surf just past Eastern View last Saturday to find salmon in good numbers, with most averaging 1kg. A follow up session the next day returned fewer fish but a better average size, with lures doing the job nicely. I fished the rocks at Cinema Point where salmon to 1.5kg were readily available on lure. Bait anglers in the same location struggled to get a fish. Eastern View produced plenty of small salmon on the low tides until a seal slowed proceedings. Danny Moore fished the rocks at Lorne below the hospital where his drop shot rigging with Turtleback worms caught an impressive tally of whiting to 48cm. Danny also landed flathead and salmon, with high tide best. Snapper and whiting were caught from Black Rock, with evenings best especially on an incoming tide. Squid has been ideal at this location. Estuary anglers have been taking trevally and salmon in the Barwon River estuary on small soft plastics. Bait anglers using bass yabby or sandworm have been landing quality bream over 35cm. Trevally were scarce at Queenscliff’s cut but anglers found some just in from the entrance to Swan Bay. Fishing Gulp minnows for salmon, Peter Jacoby landed six fantastic trevally all better than 1kg. Squid were available from all the inshore grass beds between the Queenscliff Bight and Clifton

Springs. Small jigs in the natural colours seem to be best, while fishing late in the evening has also been advantageous. Snapper reports were inconsistent, with most anglers struggling to catch quality fish. Terry Farnsworth fished close in to Alcoa Pier for two snapper over 6kg, while Noel Marshall landed two nearby, the best just over 8kg. Jerry Summer fished the inner-harbour anchorage to find small pinkies a problem. However, just as the sun was setting three rods all

folded and the end result was two landed fish around 3kg each. Not all the snapper were caught from boats. Craig Faith hit the rocks at North Shore late into the night for a snapper of 5.3kg and a big ling of 85cm, both caught on fresh squid from Hermsley. Corio Bay produced a variety of species on soft plastics, with Stingaree Bay’s spoil grounds hosting plenty of small snapper. Turtleback worms have been ideal. Geelong’s waterfront was ideal for snapper and

flathead, with pike an option in the evenings. Adam Van der Lugt found pike in numbers taking his soft plastics intended for snapper. Anyone seeking pike should troll small, bibbed lures between Limeburner’s boat ramp and Royal Geelong Yacht Club or fish the low tides off North Shore rocks where small, metal, baitfish-profile lures are ideal. Carp continued biting in the Barwon River at Breakwater and Fyans and Queen’s parks. Corn and bread seem to be the best baits, with worms also worth trying while the water remains discoloured. Lake Tooliorook was again patchy, with most trout caught on Powerbait fished on the bottom. Algae has been thick but will hopefully disperse before too much hot weather. Deep Lake remained discoloured but rainbow trout to better than 2kg were still taken on Powerbait and minnow. Lure anglers have found bibbed lures such as Rapala X Rap 6s or Atomic Shads best. Bostock Reservoir produed rainbows of 1kg on worms, Powerbait and mudeye, with most of the action from the highway end. Further afield, Lakes Fyans and Lonsdale continued to offer fantastic angling opportunities. Redfin have been easily caught on trolled lures such as small stump jumpers, while ice jigs and bobbers have also been effective. Drop nets have been catching good numbers of yabbies at either lake. Lake Purrumbete, near Camperdown, has hosted fantastic trout fishing, with trolling consistently catching fish to 3kg. Tassie Devils have been the most-consistent lure but SX 40s in colour 307 have been successful as an ideal lure for casting along the lake margins. Tyler Holt returned from Lake Bolac with three magnificent rainbow trout to 3.2kg. Tyler caught each all his fish from the shore with orange Powerbait.
