Meeniyan garlic festival

BIGGER and bolder flavours are being promised at the upcoming Meeniyan Garlic Festival, with two new varieties of garlic being offered.

The Festival and Hillston varieties are bigger than similar varieties, and packed with amore intense flavour.

The Hillston garlic is are-emergence of variety lost since 1990, and has now been brought back to market by along-standing commercial grower.

The Festival Creole is agood-sized bulb coming originally from Tasmania. Be warned: while it ranges between mild and hot flavoured, it comes with the kicker of whatthe garlic industry euphemistically refers to as ‘delayed-extreme heat’. Now in its fifthyear, the annual MeeniyanGarlic Festival draws in thousands of festival-goersto celebrate the region’s high-qualitygarlic and produce.

The festivalaimstoconnect Gippsland and Melbourne with fine food offerings, great garlic and great produce, making this aone-off opportunity to explore the food and beverage of the wholeregion.

In the Taste of Gippsland section of the festival, visitors can choose from two dishes from two of the region’s finest eateries: The Tinamba Hotel and TheLong Paddock.

ChefGerardPhelan from TheTinamba Hotel and Tanya Bertino, chef and co-founder of The

Long Paddock, willeach preparetwo unique dishes featuring local produce and, of course, garlic.

The Tinamba Hotel was recently awarded a Chef Hat in the 2022Australian Good Food Guide Awards.

Their philosophy is simple: “There’s nothing better than local Gippsland produce, and where possible,wesource everything locally. And we cultivate ahotel garden with fresh herbs and vegetables,producing dishesthat deliver amemorable experience.” The LongPaddock is acritically rated destination restaurant for foodies, travellers and locals in Lindenow.

AntonEisenmengerand Tanya Bertinoonce worked with top chefs in Melbourne and London, and now specialise in seasonal dishes made with local produce, right down to the wine list.

The re-birth of the festival has been made possiblebymoney from Visit Victoria as event partner,together with the support from the Events Gippsland Acquisition Fund -aninitiative of the new regional peak event body ‘Events Gippsland’ and supported by Regional Development Victoria, Latrobe Valley Authorityand local councils, including South Gippsland Shire Council.

Meeniyan Garlic Festival willtakeplace on Saturday, February 18.

FARMERS in the MacalisterIrrigationDistrict (MID) are being urged to look out for signs of salinity on theirlandafter three yearsofconsistently high rainfall.

Agriculture Victoria South-East Irrigation Regional Manager, Sarah Killury,saidhigh rainfall over the past three years, including flood and storm activity, had caused the groundwater tabletorise to its highest recorded level since records started in 1996.

“The 2021 calendar year was our wettest year in the MIDsince 1978 based on East Sale Bureau of Meteorologydata, with2020and 2022 also recording higher than average rainfall,” she said.

“Thesehigh rainfall years have resulted in areas of waterlogged soils across the region. Removing excess waterfrom paddocks is critical to managing the ongoing salinity risk.”

Ms Killury said Southern Rural Water’s salinity interception bores were currently operating continuously to manage groundwater levels as much as possible in target areas across the catchment.

“When the soil profile driesout andgroundwater levels fall, salt may be left behind and if left unmanaged, it can impact future production capacity within low-lying areas,” she said.

“We’reencouragingfarmers to be on the lookout for the tell-tale signs of salinity as the soil dries out.

“Signs include achangeinpasture species along check banks, indications of poor pasture or cropgrowth and tip burning of leaves, and the formation of awhite crust over bare ground,” she said.

Ms Killury said salinity management strategies include leaching or flushing salts from the root zone of plants, using drainage options for flood irrigation to ensure water flows on and off paddocks as quickly as possible(appropriate to crop andsoiltype), and using fresh watertoirrigate

“In the long-term, the increasedsalinityrisk highlights the importance of programs that improve water-use efficiency of on-farm irrigation, both now and into the future,” she said.

“Irrigation efficiency reducesrechargetoshallow groundwater systems, reducing the risk of soil and groundwater salinisation.”

Further information on salinity management or flood and storm recovery is available on the Agriculture Victoria website.
