Councillor’s Comment

Dindi seeks 5.4% rate hike ■ After a month of hard work, our council officers have provided the written submission to the Essential Services Commission for review and decision on the higher rate rise sought by Council.

The majority of councils that originally put in an indication that they would apply for the rate rise above the 2.5 per cent government rate rise ceiling, have decided to proceed with a 2.5 per cent rate rise.

All that Council and the community can now do is wait for the decision of the ESC. Secondly, I continue to be committed to having street security cameras installed for at least the town areas of Alexandra and Yea and will work with the Ward Councillors on this issue.

It will be another 12 months before the Victorian Government again calls for submissions on the public safety and security grant applications.

Should you wish me to stay on as a Councillor via the council elections later this year, I promise that I will again vigorously represent your wishes in this area. Please keep me advised of your security and safety needs.

As the Councillor with the Infrastructure and Waste portfolio, I am extremely pleased to advise that many of our capital works are on target to be completed this financial year.

I am very impressed with the way Council's Infrastructure Assets Department is keeping me informed almost on a day to day basis.

Another pleasing result is the ability to change Moores Bridge, Flowerdale from single to two-lane as part of the bridge replacement.

The funding for this has been as a result of the new strategy of bundling a number of like projects in each works tender. This approach has turned up very substantial savings, allowing a lot more work out of each Council dollar.

Regarding waste, I am attending each meeting of the Goulburn Valley Waste Management Forum held in Shepparton. The disposal of waste is a significant cost to each and every

ratepayer as I am reminded of regularly. I will continue to advise you via this column of any further information as it comes to hand.

After chairing the last Forum meeting, it became apparent that the Forum felt there was some concerns about the representation of the ratepayers at board level.

Steps are being taken to ensure the maximum influence of ratepayers is assured in all levels of waste management and costings.

Please feel free to contact me should you just wish to have a chat, or to air any concerns you may have. I will do all I can to ensure your voice is heard.

‘Yea Chronicle’ sales plummet ■ Weekly sales of the 130-year-old Yea Chronicle have dropped to a record low, according to figures released on Thursday.

The figures, disclosed on the Victorian Country Press Association website, show that the average weekly circulation of The Yea Chronicle is now just 637 copies.

The circulation figure is said to be verified by the Audit Bureau of Circulation, part of the Audited Media Association ofAustralia.

The previous figure was 850 copies, said to be supported by a Statutory Declaration from the Chronicle’s publishers.

The loss of 213 copies weekly represents a 25.6 per cent drop. The audit period showing the extreme fall in readership is believed to be mostly prior to the arrival of The Local Paper on February 17 this year.

The weekly print run of The Yea Chronicle 30 years ago was approximately 3000 copies.

● Comparison of local newspaper circulations in Murrindindi Shire. 2016

Last week’s figures show that the circulation of the Alexandra-Eildon-Marysville Standard has also dropped substantially.

The Standard’s circulation figure has dropped from 2100 copies each week to 1649. This means that 451 families have stopped buying The Standard each week, representing a fall of 21.5 per cent in a single circulation measurement period.

The Yea Chronicle is now one of the smallest circulation newspapers in the 76 papers listed by the Victorian Country Press Association.

Yet, The Yea Chronicle has one of the most expensive advertising rates in the state, with classified ad rates listed as $6.18 per single column centimetre.

At that rate a Chronicle full-page costs $1878.82.Murrindindi Shire Council purchases significant advertising space each week in The Yea Chronicle and Alexandra Standard.

‘Shire won’t even let me tender’ Local Briefs First game

■ A good crowd is expected as Yea footballers and netballers make their season debut this Saturday at home against Gembrook-Cockatoo.

Rate cap ■ Murrindindi Shire Council is proceeding with its application to the Essential Services Commission to increase rates by 5.4 per cent, rather than the 2.5 per cent suggested by State Government.

■ Yea newsagent Lynne Bailey wants to know why Murrindindi Shire Council does not support local businesses, but instead decides to make its purchases elsewhere.

She cites the example of stationery, which she stocks at the 78 High St shop which she has run for 15 years.

Lynne says instead of supporting local businesses, which in turn provide jobs for local families, the Council’s only focus is on money.

Lynne says that the Council’s commitment to its buying group means that she is not even allowed to submit a tender.

She says that the Yea and District Memorial Hospital, built by local people, now also makes its purchases from out-oftown.

Lynne Bailey is full of praise for people such as the town’s doctors who support businesses like her newsagency.

“They are all fantastic,” she says.

Lynne Bailey says she wonders if it require some form of public rally for Murrindindi Shire Council to realise how it is lettingdown its local business people.

Traders have spoken about contacting media outlets such as the Herald Sun to bring statewide attention to the Council’s failure to support local businesses.

Secret talks

● Yea newsagent Lynne Bailey says Murrindindi Shire Council won’t allow her to submit a tender for stationery.

Lyn says Council prefers to buy from out-of-town suppliers.

■ Members of the public will be denied access to a special meeting of the Murrindindi Shire Council to be held tonight (Wed.) at the Alexandra Chambers.

The agenda for the 6pm meeting gives a small hint of the subject matter: ‘Sale of Property Marysville’.

Council is using a legislative rule to conduct the confidential meeting, if it predjudices Council or a person.

■ During the week we were reminded of various nicknames for The Yea Chronicle newspaper over its 130 years. Often dubbed the Chronic, the Comical or the Egg-Timer, one long-time local reminded us of its Coogan’s Comic nickname, referring to coowner Eddie Dignam, who ran the paper with his brother Tom, from 1936 to 1968.

Ex-locals say ‘hi’ ● Mick Jagger ■ How about The Rolling Stones I Can’t Get No Satisfaction becoming the theme song for Murrindindi Shire Council?

In last year’s Shire annual report, tucked away on Page 53, is the alarming statistic that the public’s satisfaction with Council’s performance is just 47 per cent.

In any language, 47 per cent is a fail. One of the clever writers at the Council tries to explain away the appalling score.

“It may reflect a response to the difficult decisions made by Council with regard to its infrastructure renewal challenges.”

Bulldust. The public is simply sick and tired of paying obscenely high rates, and believing they are not getting their money’s worth.

■ What that in mind, Long Shots believes that paid consultants are currently on the job, phoning residents and asking what they think of Murrindindi Shire. According to our insider, the answers aren’t pretty.

Counting down ■ MurrindindiCouncil’s annual report lists election day as October 27, 2016. That’s a Thursday.

Our calendar indicates that there are only 28 weeks before the municipality casts its votes.

● Pilot Shane Flack, of MAS Agwork, is working in Yea and Strath Creek, with aerial spreading of superphosphate on local farms. The Local Paper caught up with Shane and his 400-hp Fletcher single-engine aircraft, at Clear Hills, Glenburn, the fat cattle property run by David and Jan Joyce.

■ The condition of farm land in our region, seen from the air, is “pretty ordinary”, according to Jerilderiebased pilot Shane Flack, currently in Yea. The green drought is particularly noticeable in the MansfieldBenalla region.

Long Shots spoke with Shane at Clear Hills, Glenburn, where he was spreading SuperPotAsh over 780 acres of the 941-acre holding.

● Merle and Bob Hollis at a Yea family wedding in the 1990s ■ Our in-box this week included an e-mail from former Yea residents Merle and Bob Hollis, now in Cairns, Far North Queensland.

“Hi, your new paper has travelled far and wide thanks to my sister (Shirley Hodge). Can we say congratulations. What a great read ,current affairs and older stories and photos of some very interesting items, a photo of the first Hollis truck on page 20 (Feb. 24), Keep up the good work. We will look forward to reading the future copies,having moved from Yea over 20 years. Tt was great to look back.”

For the record ■ The Yea Football-Netball Club approached The Local Paper to become a Tigers sponsor. We met with Club President Daniel Evans a fortnight ago, and lodged a written submission that included a major sponsor’s cash payment from us, plus a contra package including a free page each week, in part to recognise the Tigers’ sponsors.

The Local Paper did not hear back at all from the Club by our editorial deadline for this week’s season launch issue, so we have, sadly, withdrawn our sponsorship offer. The Local Paper still hopes it can work with the Club during the season to best promote senior and junior footballers and netballers.

On the farm with David and Jan ■ One of the perks of this job is that you get to meet up with new and old friends.

Glenburn farmers David and Jan Joyce, dear friends of old, invited Long Shots out to their Clear Hills property on Friday, to see pilot Shane Flack in action, spreading ‘Super’.

David was there, with familiar ‘D and J Agricultural Contracting’ cap. Jan guided us across the property on a four-wheel ag bike.

It made our day to see them again.

■ It is sad that some Murrindindi Councillors think that the Shire is actually doing a good job. Surveyed ratepayers think otherwise.

The $30 million turnover municipality is top heavy with highly-paid carpet-strolling executives. Some 140 people are employed.

Those executives are led by Chief Executive Margaret Abbey, who has just scored for herself a 10 per cent pay rise, to now receive a package of $248,000. About $1000 for every working day.

It is The Local Paper’s belief that the Murrindindi Council’s Councillors and executives are out of touch with the extremely tight financial circumstances faced by many families living in the municipality.

A large number of families are still trying to recover from the 2009 bushfires, financially and emotionally.

It is an unfair financial burden, year after year, to expect Murrindindi Shire residents to continue to foot the bill for excessive deficit-budget spending.

Confirmation comes this week that the Council is going ahead with its application to the Essential Services Commission for a 5.4 per cent rate increase.

It flies in the face of the State Government’s edict that local government bodies should contain their spending increases to within 2.5 per cent annually.

Murrindindi Shire Councillors continue to demonstrate that they are spending beyond their means.

They are failing to listen to their residents.And the Council is failing to communicate effectively with its 14,000 people.

A look at Council press statements shows that it is talking AT people, rather than WITH them. The language in announcements is cold, detached, and shows a clear lack of empathy with a community that has its more than its fair share of struggles.

Murrindindi Shire Council is trapped within a communications framework that has ceased to work effectively.

The Council principally relies on getting its message to ratepayers by public notices in The Yea Chronicle and the Alexandra Stanard newspapers.

Confirmation arrived last Thursday that the fast-decaying circulation figures of those newspapers have plummeted to just 637 (Yea Chronicle) and 1649 (Alexandra Standard) respectively. That is a reach, at best, of 2286 families.

With an average household size of 2.4 people, there are approximately 5800 residences in the Murrindindi Shire.

That means the Shire, at best, is communicating with only 39 per cent of its population on a regular basis. The remaining 61 per cent of local people are out of range.

At The Local Paper, we believe we have a better communications model. Our principal interest is the western half of the municipality which includes centres such as Yea, Flowerdale, Glenburn and Kinglake.

We pay mail contractors each week to deliver our paper, free, to residents. Our online edition is also well read. We have the option of extending our free door-to-door delivered circulation throughout Kinglake.

It is telling that since The Local Paper began back in February, neither the Council CEO and Mayor have sought to speak personally with the largest circulating newspaper in the municipality. Like most of the population, we have been generally ignored.

It portrays a head-in-the-sand attitude that those leaders would prefer that this newspaper (and its readers) would just go away.

That’s no way to run local government.

80 Years Ago

‘Not a cent’ to locals ■ “Top partners in a leading law firm have pocketed record dividends totalling more than $16 million in one year arising from huge settlements in class actions for the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria — but the victims are yet to receive anything.”

So started an extensive report by investigate reporter Hedley Thomas published in The Weekend Australian last Saturday.

Thomas said “several thousand survivors of the fires who signed up with law firm Maurice Blackburn are still waiting for compensation, with many in severe financial distress before, and since, a huge financial settlement in 2014 and a second one last year were entrusted to the firm to administer”.

The Weekend Australian reported that some survivors of the fires were told two months ago they would not see any funds until next year.

Announcement of the $494 million settlement, the largest in Australia’s class-action history, was made in late 2014.

“That settlement for the Kilmore EastKinglake class action, which was approved by a Supreme Court judge on December 23, 2014, was followed by a $300m payout for the Murrindindi-Marysville class action,

The newspaper says that its question to Maurice Blackburn remain unanswered.

Thomas says money keeps flowing to the law firm, while the bushfire victims go unpaid.

“Documents based on orders by the Supreme Court indicate that it is costing about $1m a month in administration fees for clients of the first class action, and legal sources estimate a similar sum for the second class action.”

Maurice Blackburn reportedly said: ““Our sole focus since the start of the case and still to this day has been to get the best outcome for clients as soon as possible — that is where all our energy is directed still to this day.

“The court has put on the record- its satisfaction that we are doing everything possible to expedit-e payments on the 10,000plus claims we are processing.

“There has never been a class action in Australia of this size and complexity and we will continue doing everything we can to get this record settlement distributed as quickly and as fairly as possible to our bushfire clients,” the law firm said.

“Under this new scheme, despite spending millions of dollars, only 24 jobs have reached the electorate of Eildon,” said Ms McLeish.

“This month’s Australian Bureau of Statistics regional jobs figures show the unemployment rate in regional Victoria rose by 0.3 per cent points taking it to 6.5 per cent.

Mayor’s Column ■ Recently I attended the 2016 Conference of the Australian Local Government Women's Association, the theme of which was 'Working together to achieve change'.

Each year this conference offers a real opportunity for learnings from shared experiences and this year was no exception.

The strength of ALGWA is in its collegiality and its mutual support base which seeks to empower women to develop confidence in their skills, to believe in themselves and to achieve their goals.

The range of speakers this year highlighted women who have done just that. Drawn from a range of backgrounds, they demonstrated the core attributes needed for success.

They all wanted to make a difference, to make a contribution that would be of value to the broader community and to make change happen for the better.

And what they shared were determination, dedication, and sheer doggedness - a belief in the inherent value of what they were doing.

The keynote speaker was Lyn Swinburne, the founder of Breast Cancer Network Australia. As someone who experienced breast cancer over 20 years ago, she went through this at a time when medical practice was focused on the treatment and the processes but the patient usually felt overlooked, ill informed, poorly supported and often isolated and scared.

Her experience was one she felt should not be shared by others and she dedicated her energies to creating a solution that would provide information and support to breast cancer sufferers.

Nowadays we are all familiar with the 'pink lady' symbol - it is recognisable worldwide and is proving a powerful tool in generating conversations about breast cancer in societies where such discussions were previously frowned on.

The philosophy and purpose of BCNA is to inform, empower, represent and link together those Australians affected by breast cancer.

Patient centred care is now at the heart of medical treatment, whether at our local hospital or community health service, or in a large teaching hospital.

The value of this to the health and wellbeing of patients is now much better understood and this was clearly articulated by another speaker - Petra Snelleman, the CEO of Warringal Private Hospital, who spoke with great pride and empathy about their achievements and their level of patient care.

One of the most inspiring speakers was Nan Caple, a longtime resident and local advocate of Banyule - and the sort of advocate we all need in our communities.

She spoke passionately about the things she saw that needed improving and about the way in which community can and should come together to find solutions to problems.

For example, when the bank closed suddenly the solution was to bring the community together to establish a very successful branch of the Bendigo Bank, of which she is now a director. Local needs need local champions, there is no doubt.

Another speaker was Joe Manton, who shared her experiences over many years of working in local government and her battles to get women recognised as valuable and valued contributors in the workplace. It was clear that a combination of determination and humour goes a long way in the journey to achieving success.

The 2015 ALGWA Bursary recipient, Melissa Crane, one of our own planning officers, gave an engaging and insightful presentation on the value of the Bursary and how receiving this has had a strong influence on her professional and her personal life. This presentation was very well received and reaffirmed her choice as the Bursary Award recipient.

And young women, still students and finding their way in life, also participated in panel discussions and contributed valuable insights into their expectations and values.

It was clear that each of the participants has a commitment to improving and increasing the participation of women in the workplace and in the community and a real belief not only that women working together can achieve anything but also that community and society is best served by equal contribution and representation from men and women.

Campaign for rates hike ■ Murrindindi Shire Council has begun its publicity campaign to support its application for a 5.4 per cent rates increase.

The Council is to appear before the Essential Services Commission to argue it should not contain its rate increases to the maximum increase level of 2.5 per cent, recommended by the State Government.

The first stage of the Council’s campaign was the issue of a news release on Friday (Apr. 8).

“At Council's January 2016 meeting, Council resolved to submit an application to the Essential Services Commission for a variation to the 2.5 per cent rate cap, introduced by the State Government under the Fair Go Rates system in December 2015,” the press release begins.

“Council submitted this application to the ESC on March 31, 2016. Council is seeking a variation to the cap which would allow a rate increase of

5.4 per cent in 2016-17.

Murrindindi Shire Council Mayor Margaret Rae said the decision to apply for this variation was in line with ongoing discussions Council had been having with the community over the last four years about Council's funding situation and was also aligned with the Strategic Resource Plan as exhibited and adopted for 2015-16,” continues the press statement.

"Council firmly believes it is facing an exceptional set of circumstances, and this is why it decided to seek a variation to the cap at this level.

“A 5.4 per cent rate increase will allow Council to meet its obligations in maintaining assets and continuing to

provide important services to the community".

“Murrindindi Shire Council is one of 10 councils to submit an application for a variation to the 2.5 per cent rate cap.

“Councils have applied for variations ranging from 3.05 per cent to 6.34 per cent.

“Over the next two months the ESC will be reviewing the applications submitted and each will be assessed on a caseby-case basis. Decisions on each of the applications are expected to be made by May 31.

"For small rural councils like ours, the ESC's decision will have a significant impact on the services Council is able to provide to the community," said Cr Rae.

● Rasiah Dev, Darebin CEO ■ In the inner northern suburbs of Melbourne, City of Darebin Chief Executive Officer Rasiah Dev has issued Supreme Court defamation proceedings against a local Councillor, Gaetano Greco.

Tributes for ‘Tige’ Fox ■ Eric Alan Fox, better known as Alan, Foxy or Tige, was born in Alexandra as the eldest child of Eric and Jean Fox of GlennAllan, Kanumbra.

He was the eldest of the family and had sisters Anita who died as an infant, Kereth, Margaret and Eleanor.

After attending the Kanumbra State School he went to Caulfield Grammar.

He then came home to help on the farm and during this time he went to Melbourne and learnt woolclassing at the AML&FWoolstore.

Alan always enjoyed his sport and was a competitive player of tennis, badminton and table tennis to name some.

Alan was a member of the Alexandra Branch of Young Farmers and enjoyed the social activities associated with the organisation.

Alan met Ailsa through Young Farmers and were married on September 3, 1966 at Kilmore.

The arrival of Glenn, Stuart and Carolyn completed the family.

Alan unfortunately lost his father in November 1975 when the Land Rover they were in rolled in the hills on the farm.

Alan sustained a badly broken ankle which was to give him trouble in later life.

Alan was proud of his family and their achievements and his grandchildren James, Sophie, Annabelle, Xavier, Bridgette, Tom, Angus, Isaac and Jed through their various sporting achievements and academic rewards gave him a

● Alan Fox wonderful reason to boast to all who listened.

Alan was always a strong contributor to many organisations including being President of the Mansfield Tennis Association, Committee member of the Alexandra Show Society, member of the Committee of Management of Yarck Cemetery.

He was Captain of the Merton Fire Brigade for many years, and then went on to become a Deputy Group Officer of the Mansfield Group.

He was a judge at the Merton Races for many years and he also helped construct the club rooms at the Merton Recreation Reserve.

While the children were at school at Bonnie Doon he helped to improve facilities such as the tennis court and perhaps where he has spent the most time in recent years has

been at the Bonnie Doon Football Club and Recreation Reserve.

He spent a great deal of time assisting with the realigning of the ground, and further improvements to the Hall and surrounds.

He was also President of the Football Club during the drought breaking premiership win of 1989 and he remained on the Committee ever since.

Alan was a keen member of some of the farming groups in the district and was always willing to experiment with new farming practices.

Together with Bill Parsons they were aware that lime was a limiting factor to production and they established a business selling and spreading lime.

Glenn Fox took over the business in later years and renamed it Fox Ag. Some of the tributes received mentioned Alan’s role as a supporter of other farmers.

One tribute said that his comments, observations and advice were always incisive, decisive and invariably showed great clarity.

He had the rare ability to simplify a problem and communicate his thoughts in a manner which was easily understood by all.

Others talked about how after talking with Alan they went home inspired to continue and better themselves.

Alan as a husband, father and grandfather and friend to many will be so missed by all.

The Yea Story: Part 3

Hardships at King Parrot Creek From The Story of Yea

by Harvey Blanks In Part 1, Hume and Hovell’s 1824 expedition had struck impassable country south of Happy Valley and Flowerdale.

Provisions were beginning to become light.

■ The mountains that the small band now began to tackle were named by Hovell the ForlornHope, or Doubtful Range, as he entertained serious misgivings of being able to find a route through them.

His doubts were fully justified, for the thick bush proved quite impassable.

The weary explorers were reduced tgo scrambling upward on hands and knees, faces and hands becoming badly slashed with razorsharp ‘cutting grass’, which caused painful wounds.

By said afternoon, they gave up the attempt and set out to return to their camp on King Parrot Creek.

Hovell has left in his journal a graphic account of their hardships: “To describe this brush is almost impossible, as it cannot be compared with any that is known in the colony.

“Suffice it to say than any that it is worse than any that is known in it, or worse than any jungle in any other country.

“It is much worse than the srub at the Five Islands (an early name for Illawarra, NSW) for there, if you cannot get over it, you can get under it, and you can see your road before you, but here we could not see over or under, nor two yards before.

“Sometimes wer were in top of dead logs, lying five or six feet above the ground, at other times in holes

Background ■ Hamilton Hume was born in New South Wales in 1797, the son of a convict supervisor.

As a young man, he explored the country south-west of Sydney including the area around Yass, where he became a squatter on a large property.

William Hovell was 11 years older than Hume and had been born in England, where he later became a ship's captain.

He migrated to New South Wales in 1813, firstly setting up as a merchant before eventually settling on a property outside Sydney.

The pair joined forces in 1824, when Governor Brisbane was keen to find if the large unmapped lands between the Canberra district and the Southern Ocean were suitable for settlement.

Hamilton Hume and William Hovell took up the challenge and even financed much of the project themselves when the Governor would allocate them only limited resources. - Geoff Williams

The same evening that Hovell made this entry in his journal, the party had a pleasant change of diet, the men catching several succulent “crayfish” (yabbies) in the clear waters of the King Parrot Creek, which apeared to be full of them.

The expeditions explorations around the future Shire of Yea were now nearing an end.

On Saturday, December 11, they followed down King Parrot Creek, covering some 6½-miles before breakfast.

Hovell noted that the good land seldom extended above half or, in some places, one mile from the creek, adding that “on some of the points of ranges the land was of very ● This cairn commemorates the 175th anniversary of Hume inferior quality, and here anbd there and Hovell`s journey of exploration.

The Yea Story: Part 4

Coming of the Overlanders From The Story of Yea

by Harvey Blanks ■ Hume and Hovell’s glowing repotrs of the rich country they had discovered on their overland journey to Port Phillip Bay were the immediate cause of the settlement of the country around 1835.

Sturt’s discovery of the course of the River Murray, while replacing the name of ‘Hume River’ from the map of NewSouth Wales, incluenced no one to dwell in Port Phillip, although it was the primary cause of the settlement in Adelaide.

But it was Hume and Hovell’s announcement of the character of the interior and the lands in the south, especially the glorious Iramoo Plains near Port Phillip that have old colonists the first longing after such rich pastures and made them anxious to bring their flocks and berds to so attractive a paradise.

The would-be pastoralists of the new lands were, however, in a legally precarious position.

In spite of Hume and Hovell’s discoveries, the covernment’s official policy remained one of concentrated settlements.

In 1829, the nineteen counties from the Manning River sout to the Goulburn (NSW) Plains, and from the coast to the Wellington Valley, had been proclaimed as the limits beyond which settlement must not go in New South Wales; any settlers who went beyond these boundaries were, in the eyes of tghe law, trespassers and outlaws.

But it was already far too late to set such boundaries. Even while surveyors were drawing up the geographical limits, squatters were ranging far beyond them, seeking the good land that they had been told lay further out.

Earlier, the term ‘squatter’ had been applied to the disreputable sheep-stealers and grog-traders, but the new squatter was a man of some standing and substance.

He was technically a trespasser, buit no one could do anything about this.

In a wry dispatch of 1840, Governor Gipps wrote: “As well attempt to confine an Arab within a circle traced on the sand as to confine the grazier or woolgrowers of New South Wales within grounds that can possibly be assigned to them.”

Governor Bourke, who preceded Gipps in offixe, had earlier come to the same conclusion. What he should not prohibit, he decided to regulate.

Until 1833, occupation of Crown Lands, except by purchase or free grant, was unauthorised.

In thatyear, however, the Legislative Council in Sydney acted to place the squatters under the control of Commissionersof Crown Lands by the abbreviated title of CCL. In 1836, when Major Thomas Mitchell explored the rich western dfistrict of Victoria (calling it enthusiastically Australia Felix), and thereby caused a new squatting rush south of the Murray River, further laws were enacted permitting settlement beyond the precious limits upon payment of an annual licence fee of £10.

This conferred no right of property ownership at all, but gave permission to graze stock on Crown land for the period of the licence.

The Commissioners of Crown Lands who issued the licences used

landers became so enamoured of the land they saw along the route that they set up their own pastoral runs where they pitched their tents.

In the few years that had elpased since Hume and Hovell blazed the trail, the overland track had become a well-definedroute, traversed by flocks and herds, bullock wagons and horses.

Some of the young men who worked as drovers on the traileventually settled in the south.

Othersm whjo later return to England, never fogot in their old age the fascination of the nights theyspent under the stars or the days when they rode slowly south, proceeding only at the natural pace of the stock they were droving to the new pastures.

One of them, James Demarr, has left an unforgettable description of an overlanding trip in which he took part about this time following Hume and Hovell’s route from Sydney to Port Phillip.

“I may as well state here how we conducted our camping operations ... grass was abundant, the natural gvrasses of the country, everywhere green and beautiful, so we had no difficulty as regards food for the stock.

“The road, all the way to Port Phillip, was a wide and well-beaten track, but a bushraod only.

“Rivers and gullies and deep beds of creeks had to be crossed in whatever way we foun d practicable.

“We always camped for the night where there was food and water, making easy stages, about 12 or 14 miles a day, sxomethimes more, sometimes less.

“On arriving at our camping ground, the sheep would be allowed to spread out and feed.

“The bullocks would be unyoked, some of them hobbled to the forefront, one or tweo having a bell round their necks, and allowed feed also.

“Our cook would make a fire of the dead wood lying about, of which there was always plenty.

“One man would take charge of the shepp, whilst the rest of us would cut down sapling gum trees, and with them make a temporary bough yard.

“Into this yard the sheep were driven at night, and although it was a slight fence, they seldom left it, particularly after we had been some time on the road.

“After all this work was completed, our supper was made ready and eaten, and after the usual yarns and smoking, we would lay down our beds in different places, some outside the bough yard, and others near

The squatters from Van Dieman’s Land were not to have it all their own way, however.

Batman and 14 other men, who included Charles Swanston, managing director of the Derwent Bank, formed the Port Phillip Association, which became the prime mover in the settlement of the area, fanning outward from Port Phillip.

But it almost immediately ran into competition with the Overlanders pushing down from Sydney and Bathurst.

“When it rained, which it seldom did, we had to take temporary shelters of sheets of bark, lay our mattresses on the top of broken boughs, or on sheets of bark, and genrally we remained at that station, two, three or more days, until the rain had passed over. Old bushman know well how to meet these contingencies.

“Sometimes we would have white frosts in the night, and on the following morning our blankets could be covered with the frost.

“Yet the days following these frosts were sure to be bright, sunny and cloudless, and an hour after sunrise it would be a pleasant summer’s morning.

“Breakfast would be got ready and dispatched, after which the sheep with two men would travel on; whilst we who were left behind would dry, or partially dry, the bedding in the sunshine, pack them on the drays, and follow the sheep.

“We often hear in England of the disastrous consequences resulting from sleeping in damp beds. I have known when we have had a continuance of rainy weather, our bedding would never be dry.

“That was an uncomofrtable time, but never, so far as I know, left bahind any bad effects.

“We had plenty to eat, plenty of salt beef and often fresh mutton, bought at the stations we passed.

Plenty of tea, which we used lavishly wherever we had the opportunity to make it.

“Our bread was ‘damper’, the name given to the bread used by travellers, when made in the bush. Thin cakes, baked on top of the hot charcoal beaten down flat for the purpose.

“No yeast or barm was wanted, only a little salt. And ‘damper’, when made from colonial wheat, was the sweetest bread I ever ate, unless it was Spanish bread which many years after this time, I have eaten in Southern Spain.

“And it is made from similar wheat, and made in much the same way.

“Our drays were travelling stores, and contained, except fresh meat, everything that we wanted.

Bushmen are great tea drinkers, and no bushman will dispense with his tea if possible to obtain it, and we were, when camped, always making and drinking tea.” ● To be continued next week in The Local Paper.

130 Years of Local Football

Yea v Kinglake match on ANZAC Day With thanks to the Kinglake Football Club website ■ Local football rivals Yea and Kinglake meet on Monday, April 25, for an ANZAC Day clash in Round 2 of the AFLYarra Ranges Division 2 competition.

Local historians note that the Kinglake club was in operation between 1925 and 1980, reforming n 1990.

Its premiership pedigree includes wins in 1939 and 1940 (Panton Hill District Football League); and 1994 (Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League).

The Kinglake club also has a strong rcord of being runners-up in 1933, 1935 and 1936; as well as more recently in the YVMDFL. Guernsey colours have been: ■ Light blue (until 1940), ■ Green with Yellow "V" (19461981); ■ Yellow with Green "V" (19902000); ■ Green with three yellow "Lightning Bolts" (2002-2007).

The "Three Mountain" design shows one large and two small green mountains rise from bottom of jumper to chest area with a yellow background, representing Kinglake East, Central and West.

Details of the Kinglake club’;s early history is scrace.

One of the early players and officials was John McMahon, born 1876.

He played football for Kinglake in his youth and in his later years acted as goal umpire and timekeeper.

McMahon supplied transport for the team for quite a few seasons.

Kinglake F.C. joined the BourkeEvelyn Football League in 1930.

The Kinglake team collected two flags in this era, at a time when the Club and the Panton Hill District Football League were in recess for two seasons, 1937-38.

The competition was also in recess from 1941-46, due to World War II. Club history documentation says that a new local league was formed in 1947 by Andy Duff of Panton Hill, Col Sinclair of Hurstbridge, and Jeff Ashton of Kinglake, and known as the Panton Hill Football League (PHFL) and consisted of seven teams - Panton Hill, Wallan East, Plenty,

Women on bikes ■ More than 660 women will participate in the Bicycle Network’s inaugural RACV Ascent women-only bike ride from 7am-2pm this Sunday (Apr. 17).

The ride starts and finsihes at Cherryhill Orchards in Wandin East.

The 65km and 100km circuit will take riders through best riding conditions in the Yarra Ranges. The ride will pass through Wandin, Mt Evelyn, Montrose, The Basin, Sassafras, Kallista, The Patch, Monbulk, Macclesfield, Nangana, Yellingbo and Silvan.

The ride is a fully-supported, mass participation bike ride (not a race). Riders will enjoy an entire route of full or partial road closures and on-route support including rest stops, traffic management, mechanical and medical assistance as they make their way to the finish line.

Bicycle Network’s General Manager, Communications, Anthea Hargreaves, said that the ride will create a supportive environment for women to get active together and achieve their bike riding goals.

The youngest rider is 16 years old, the oldest 78.

Not ‘appy ■ Yea Football Netball Club is providing information to its players and supporters via an ‘app’ for mobile phones.

Not everyone has reception for mobile phones. Many older Tigers supporters do not use mobile phones or computers.

Sports Shorts ■ New players for last Saturday’s Whittlesea team against West Preston-Lakeside were Luke Deards, Roy Dyson and Justin Sherman.

■ Congratulations to the Plenty Valley 88.6 FM commentary team for their work on the first round of the Northern Football League for 2016.

■ After a couple of weeks off with school holidays it was a real credit to this playing group to see them come together and enjoy a great game of football.

A high standard of skills was on display with perfect weather conditions. The group’s first hit out was a practice match where the coaches got an opportunity to explain the basics of the game under match conditions.

It was fantastic to see the way the young group looked to handball and share the ball around, the tackling was great, but fair. l think that this playing group will be entertaining to watch this season, as they improve their already impressive skill levels. Well done team.

Encouragement awards went to Declan, Sam Crosby and Zach.

YEA UNDER 12 FOOTBALL. REPORT

■ Yea played its season opener at home against last year's grand finalists Tabilk on Sunday in perfect conditions for football.

Yea had several key players unavailable for different reasons, which presented a number of the team's first year players with opportunities to show their talents.

Coach Paul Hildebrand welcomed first gamers Luke Kelderman, Mackenzie Jenkins, Cheyne Klinge and Ryan Ockwell to the squad and announced Austen Ross as captain for 2016.

The first quarter was tightly contested with ferocious tackling from both teams. Yea missed an early shot at goal which was followed by a major to Tabilk midway through the term. ¼ time: Yea 0-1 (1) to Tabilk 1.2 (8).

Yea's onballers were starting to feel the heat in the second quarter with Tabilk appearing to be the fitter side.

Jack Harrison provided the highlight of the term stepping his way past a number of opponents on a searching run.

Yea's backline led by Dominic Ciantar did a fantastic job keeping Tabilk to just two goals for the term. ½ time: Yea 0.1 (1) to Tabilk 3.3 (21) Yea was competitive in general play during the third term but were unable to kick a goal from three attempts.

Riley Slevin gave the crowd something to cheer about late in the quarter when he took on opponents on his journey past the clubrooms from half back on his way to Yea's forward 50. ¾ time: Yea 0.4 (4) to Tabilk 5.4 (34) The coach asked his Tigers to focus on carrying the ball in the final quarter.

Number one ruckman Noah Hildebrand and Slev combined to win two centre bounce clearances in the final term and good ball use from Riley Frankcombe and Monty Lawson saw Yea outscore Tabilk for the quarter.

Congratulations to both teams on putting on an entertaining match.

Final scores: Yea 2. (18) to Tabilk 7.6 (46) Goalkickers : Riley Slevin and Jackson Gretch.

Best players: Riley Slevin, Noah Hildebrand, Monty Lawson, Dominik Ciantar, Will Clarke and Tobias Philpott.

Awards: Monty Lawson, Tobias Philpott, Luke Kelderman and Dominik Ciantar.

■ Yea's Under 10 squad fine-tuned their skills in an impressive intra club hit-out. The U10's are excited by the prospect of playing opposition sides from Alexandra, Euroa, Broadford and Seymour in the coming weeks.

Keep up the good work boys. ● The Local Paper delivers the region’s most comprehensive local sports coverage. Club correspondents are invited to lodge reports by 8pm Sundays, by email: editor@LocalPaper.com.au for publication in Wednesday’s issue

Local Paper Scoreboard YEA UNDER 14 FOOTBALL. REPORT

■ The Under 14s began their season against Tabilk. With limited numbers, the Tigers took to the field eager to begin the season.

Some inaccurate kicking early didn’t allow the Tigers to hit the scoreboard as they would have liked.

Scores were level at half-time although Yea had three times as many scoring shots. A stronger second half saw the boys gradually pull away.

The boys were able to hold on and ran out winners in a hard fought 13-point win.

Jack Christie and Johnny Turvey were some of the Tigers’ best players. Next weekend the Under 14s travel to Alexandra to take on the Rebels. Go Tigers.

YEA UNDER 16 FOOTBALL. REPORT

■ Tigers Under 16s hit the ground for the first time last Sunday, scraping in with just 16 players.

They ran hard and fought hard all day. The score board didn’t reflect their determination and commitment.

There was a mix of old and new players to the Tigers Under 16 team and they all gave their best on the field. This ncluded Francis, who was playing his very first AFL game.

Hunter led the back line with great determination and he led by example. All the boys should be proud of what they have accomplished, in the short time that they have been together as a team. Go Tigers.

Arts Society looks to future ■ The planning for the successful 2016 Yea Arts Carnivale was the catalyst to the formation of the new Yea Arts Inc, an incorporated association formed to assist community groups to plan, undertake and celebrate the many art forms of our region.

A member of the inaugural Yea Arts Inc, Russell Wealands, explains: “A motivating factor behind establishing Yea Arts Inc was to have one central body, recognised by Regional Arts Victoria as an arts society affording access to annual liability insurance.

“Such as society can provide a pathway to grant funding that encourages, promotes growth in artistic talents and supports our artists and talented arts groups such as the Highlands artists or Yappers.

“In the past groups like these keen to apply for grants had to find and approach an existing incorporated body to have them auspice, manage and report back to the funding body” Russell said..

Formation of Yea Arts Inc provides an opportunity for community groups to organise fund raising arts events across our district, and to benefit culturally from that experience.

Yea Arts simply requires volunteers with a passion to run it and bring various artistic talents to Yea. In the coming weeks Yea Arts Inc will advertise and hold its annual meeting.

Those with an interest in the arts should keep watch for that advert or register their interest by emailing info@yeaartscarnivale. com.au - Contributed
