Service above self ■ More than anyone, the beginnings of the Rotary Club of Yea, 30 years ago this week, are owed to its Charter President Daryl Callander.

This Sunday (May 1) sees the 30-year anniversary of the Club’s charter being granted. A gala dinner held at the Yea Shire Hall followed on July 5, 1986.

A special 30-year celebration is to be held on Thursday, May 12, at the same location, under the presidency of Jennie Handsaker.

Long Shots was there 30 years ago, as a charter member on that special night.

The 23 members (and wives) were there on that special night: ■ Dr Philip Basser (Faie) ■ Ian Bell (Sarah) ■ Neil Beer (Jan) ■ Ross Bryant (Lynne) ■ Graeme Broadbent (Beth) ■ Daryl Callander (Heather) ■ Graeme Clements (June) ■ Tim Dale (Prue) ■ Clarry Davison (Lyn) ■ David Evans (Judy) ■ Gary Fitzgerald (Liz) ■ Les Hall (Wendy) ■ Peter Hauser (Val) ■ David Lawson (Lois) ■ Don Lawson (Jennifer) ■ Bob Lockhart (Margaret) ■ Ash Long (Fleur) ■ Ric Long (Rhyl) ■ John McCormack (Margaret) ■ Bernie Quinlan (Mary)

■ Adrian Sier (Marie) ■ John Tainton (Lois) ■ Ray Watson (Alison) The club had started in the previous year, on a provisional basis, meeting in the Parish Hall at St Luke’s.

Throughout its life it met at a number of locations including the Country Club Hotel, Grand Central Hotel, Royal Mail Hotel and Beaufort Manor, before moving to its current location at the Yea Golf Club.

Daryl Callander was President of the Provisional Rotary Club of Yea, and then Charter President upon the presentation on July 5, 1986.

Alexandra Rotarians Reg Scott, Roy Fox and Bill Hewitt were prominent in the formation of the club.

Alexandra members John Sinclair and Doug Zerbe later transferred to Yea. Amongst the achievements are local projects including the Yea and District Memorial Hospital, Rosebank Hostel, the Yea Show (AP&H), the Livestock IndustryAppeal, the Tourism Association, as well as sports clubs, schools and land service groups.

Hands-on projects included the Yea Wetlands swing bridge, work on the grandstand at the Yea Recreation Reserve, and at the Yea Railway Reserve.

Fund raisers over the years have included the Art Show, Melbourne Cup ‘Calcuttas’, Music Hall, trivia nights, raffles, farm days and events.

So with that in mind, we report that Long Shots was pinged last week for driving at 102-kmh on the Melba Hwy, whilst delivering The Local Paper.

The night is being presented by the Rotary Club of Kinglake Ranges. Men of all ages are invited to attend. A question and answer session will follow Mr Monsour’s presentation.

Questions for CEO

● Margaret Abbey, Shire CEO ■ Murrindindi Shire CEO Margaret Abbey’s answers to questions submitted by The Local Paper are becoming increasingly terse.

The $248,000-a-year public servant should do much better. We asked about the progress of promised inspections of dangerous footpaths in the Yea township, after complaints by local residents.

Instead of acknowledging that the footpath repairs are important safety matters, particularly for local senior citizens, Ms Abbey fobbed us off with “the inspections have been undertaken and minor maintenance works scheduled”.

No idea about when. Or what. Or how.

Ratepayers deserve much better than a 10word brush-off.

Murrindindi Council should acknowledge that it has a major public relations problem.

The Council, and its CEO, are throwing away valuable communication opportunities.

Jelly bean winner

Letters to the Editor Disgust at CEO Sir, I was absolutely disgusted and what an insult to the Shire rate payers to read of the massive rise in the CEO's wage.

When so many people are finding things very tough the CEO should be ashamed to even take this rise when so many people don't get a raise.

I certainly haven't had a raise for over four years and yet our rates keep going up.

- Janene Millar, Yea

Eye for the future Sir, Whilst I find the recent public uprise against the Murrindindi Shire long overdue and agree with all comments raised against them, I see no means to an end unless as a community we start a more productive conversation as to the solutions of change.

There is a great opportunity here to reshape and build our identity in a new light.

Ask ourselves who do we want to be? How best do we make these changes?

An over hall of our governance appears obvious but there is no point if we have no clear mandate otherwise we will continue to ride the same carousel.

I’d like to thank The Local Paper for its introduction and the opportunity it now gives us to have a voice and express our ideas.

With that I’d like to get the ball rolling. I understand that we had a massive hit to our rate base and that those that remain have had to carry the load but where is the future thinking to bring the people back.

How many vacant blocks remain? What if we allowed all new dwellings a rates break to encourage development thus creating jobs instantly and securing a future rate benefit.

How do we secure future long term employment for those who would move to the area?

With logging all but gone and farmers being driven out because cows moo and poo causing noise and smell pollution what else can we do to create jobs?

Tourism seems to already be a strong point but surely we can do more.

Take the chocolate factory in Yarra Glen for instance and the employment it has created.

There is plenty of entrepreneurs and smart business people around that just need support for their visions.

Let’s start talking and take control with an eye on the future and not the past as there is no better time than now.

- Greg Philpot, Yea

Open letter to Cr Open letter to Cr Andrew Derwent Sir, We have lived in Glenburn for about 15 years and owned our land around 20 years.

This communication is to register our disgust at the self- indulgence of the present council.

We do not intend to labour our criticism but express our main concerns as listed below ■ Ridiculously high salary of the CEO for a relatively minor Council.

■ Exorbitant inflation busting 10 per ecntincrease to the CEO’s salary. (More than my wife and I receive in state pension for a whole year).

■ Inflation busting rate increases year after year.

■ What we consider as totally unnecessary travel costs for the CEO and several councillors ■ Decline or omission of the few services we used to get; for example, roads and drains.

■ Unnecessary employment of “specialist consultants”. I was rung one evening a short while ago by a consultancy being employed by the Shire, ironically to survey our opinion of the Council’s performance.

■ Apparent secrecy of some Council decisions and lack of democracy.

■ General mismanagement of Council finances.

■ Needless to say that our opinion will be reported via the ballot box, - Mr and Mrs D.J. Guy Break O Day Rd, Glenburn

Shire fights for more cash ■ Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews says that local councils should restrict rates increases to a maximum of 2.5 per cent.

Murrindindi Shire Council disagrees, and has lodged an application with the Essential Services Commission for a 5.4 per cent.

The application, signed by Shire Chief Executive Officer, Margaret Abbey, said the municipality “has a clear and demonstrable requirement for a variation to the State Government’s rate cap”.

The Council acknowledges that it was gifted $33 million of new or expanded assets following the 2009 Black Saturday fires.

The Council says it is costing an additional $1.76 million each year to maintain those assets.

The Essential Services Commission is an independent regulator. It is expected to hold a public hearing into Murrindindi Shire’s application.

The Council says it has conducted 11 individual department and unit services reviews which have focused on cutting costs, working smarter and delivering greater efficiencies through restructuring.

In 2012 Council made a commitment to the community that it would increase rates by no more than 6 per cent annually,” says the submission “Following advice from the former State Government in mid 2014 that it would not

● Daniel Andrews, Victorian Premier

The Local Paper EDITORIAL COMMENT

‘Active discussion’ claim hollow

■ One of the criteria that the Murrindindi Shire Council must prove to gain permission to increase its rates by more than 2.5 per cent is that the municipality is conducting active discussions with the public.

In its submission to the Essential Services Commission, Murrindindi Council submits that “Council was actively discussing its funding situation with the community”.

The Council claims that public attendances at “workshops, surveys and meetings” proves that the ‘Murrindindi 2030 Vision’ has wide community support.

Only an extremely small proportion of the municipality’s 14,000 population attended these events. The Council is mistaken if it believes that “silence means consent”.

Murrindindi Shire Council relies on two newspapers - the Alexandra Standard and the Yea Chronicle - as its major communication planks.

As explained in The Local Paper (Apr. 6), the circulation figures of those newspapers have fallen to 1647 and 637 copies respectively. This would indicate that the Council is not communicating weekly with more than 60 per cent of its population.

Many families - especially in the western portion of the municipality - hear very little from Murrindindi Shire Council.

provide further funding assistance to Council, Council launched a funding advocacy community consultation to discuss with the community the range of options facing Council if it was to deal with its funding shortfall – including an option of a rate increase of more than 6 per cent.

“While a one-off rate increase of 18 per cent was attractive to a small number of residents, this was overwhelmingly rejected by the community.

“To now limit rate increases to 2.5 per cent per annum would ignore the previous extensive community consultation that has informed Council’s understanding of the community’s service delivery expectations.

“Council has worked hard to overcome the challenges associated with achieving meaningful community engagement in the Shire, including a range of practical constraints, such as rising postage costs, telecommunications blackspots and limited print media circulation and publication cycles.

“Council is confident that the long term engagement with the community has ensured the community has a good understanding of Council’s unique circumstances and need to apply for a rate cap variation.”

The Council says it has not had sufficient time to engage with the community since the rate cap call was made in December.

Councillor’s Column

Rumours plague CEO

■ These days affordable housing is on everyone's mind and a major topic of our conversations.

With house prices seemingly going through the roof in our cities and suburbs and escalating prices everywhere we look, we have to wonder how many in our growing communities will ever reasonably afford a place they can enjoy and call their own.

If we put our collective ingenuity and resources together there must be ways we can explore new possibilities and resilient social housing models.

With this in mind, I recently attended an inspiring and practical one day conference on the planning and design of inclusive and sustainable communities through the Co-housing movement.

Co-housing is seen as a new development model, although it is really a very old concept, based on high density housing and eco-villages.

Imagine a group of, say, 20 people, each contributing, again say, $100,000.

With the resultant $2m and economies of scale, this group can buy land, build individual units or apartments for themselves and family, include a community kitchen and gathering spaces, throw in a gymnasium or a pool, gardens and play areas, depending on the co-operative's particular priorities or passions. Imagine too, this group consisting of retirees, young families, single parents, full time workers, selfemployed, etc, from various origins, with a whole range of skills and talents.

Suspend for a moment thoughts about why this self-supporting village concept could be difficult and think instead about a scenario of opportunities such places can and do of fer.

Affordable, inclusive and resilient places that embed a sense of place, ownership and pride and offer low impact living.

Places where people feel supported and supportive, encouraged as self achievers and also resourceful as a collective.

The major presenter at the conference was Chuck Durrett, an American architect and author based in California.

With his wife, he designed Muir Commons, the first Co-housing community in Nor th America.

He has consulted for and designed over 50 Co-housing communities in North America and on many other projects around the world.

His talk focused on the well being such a community can engender and how positive it was for his children to have friendships and role models at hand within Muir Commons as they grew up.

According to the website, Muir Commons is currently home to 45 adults and 35 children.

Households include a variety of family structures. There are 26 homes on approx three acres, ranging in size but which all include complete kitchens and private yards.

The clustered homes face a central pedestrian pathway while the backyards face the outer edges of the site.

The large Common House is the 'heart' of the community and includes a large kitchen and dining area to accommodate community gatherings, including shared meals several times a week and get-togethers, as well as recreation rooms, a laundry and guest room.

There are also special interest sheds such as those for wood working and auto mechanics. Its legal structure is similar to a strata title with shared ownership of the common spaces and facilities.

The Homeowners Association consists of a 26-member Board of Directors comprised of one member from each household.

There are shared responsibilities, equipment and tasks and a monthly body corporate fee.

Check out the Muir Commons.com website and Chuck's publications on Co-housing and Building Sustainable Communities.

There were also Australian presenters, such as Giselle Wilkinson from Murundaka Co-housing Community; Heidi Lee, architect and building environmentalist from DesignInc and Jeremy McCleod.

Jeremy mesmerised the audience with a tale of how he and his architectural partners built a multi-storey, af fordable, environmentally friendly (using recycled and low footprint materials) apartment building in Brunswick, Victoria with a tenanted Co-housing type structure in mind.

He was able to make us laugh about his idealised vision which was fraught with do's and many more don'ts.

He has since been able to hone his enthusiasm for a high rise sustainable housing ethos and in the process stimulate modern architectural trends, winning national acclaim and architectural awards.

The conference provided fascinating insights and stirred the delegates' belief in the huge potential for connecting communities and providing alternatives to our unsustainable and disengaged urban sprawl.

For more information on this topic, I encourage you to Google each of the presenters mentioned above.

I also took copious notes on the day and if you email me (cchallen@murrindindi com.au) I will happily forward them on.

Sophie denial

● A service to remember the life of Ann Wall (nee Wadsowrth) was held at St Kule’s, Yea, on Friday. It gave The Local Paper an opportunity to search its extensive photo files, and find this pic when Ann received a donation (on behalf of the Yea and District Memorial Hospital) from the Rotary Club of Yea, then under the presidency of Neil Beer. ● An invitation is extended to the Wall family to lodge an obituary report on the life of Ann for publication in The Local Paper. That same invitation is always extended to families who lose local loved ones. Of course, there is no charge for this service.

■ Sophie Mirabella, Liberal candidate for Indi, denies she physically pushed her political opponent Cathy McGowan at a function in Benalla.

The ABC reported that the Benalla Ensign noted that Ms Mirabella “very publicly pushed Ms McGowan out of the way to obstruct the photo being taken”.

“I empathically reject reports reports I pushed Cathy McGowan,” Ms Mirabella tweeted.

Libby Price, Ensign Editor, stands by the report and says the incident was witnessed by a number of people. She said her report was in the public interest.

Council times its announcement for 4.30pm Friday on a holiday weekend ■ Not everyone is happy about the Murrindindi Shire Council’s surprise purchase of a parcel of land “adjacent” to the Yea Saleyards.

Announcement of the purchase of the land, believed to be approximately 180 acres (72 hectares), was made by press release at 4.30pm on Friday, just prior to the ANZAC long weekend.

The press release fails to identify the exact location of the land, nor the price paid by the Shire.

The Shire is expected to dip into the reserves earned by the Saleyards Committee of Management to pay for the land purchase.

The Local Paper has been told that a sum of up to $800,000 may have been negotiated for the land that is believed to be alongside Flat Lead Lane.

Informed sources say that some people connected with the Saleyards had wanted to simply lease six acres of land from another adjoining property owner at $12,000 per year.

There is speculation that the Murrindindi Council may seek to relocate the Yea depot to the Yea-Whittlesea Rd site.

The Local Paper’s enquiry to Council, three minutes after the release of the statement, remained unanswered when we went to press.

The Shire’s statement that

enquiries should be directed to its Saleyards Co-Ord-inator, Lisa Elward Local Paper asked, by email, for details of the exact location of the property and its size. The e-mail went unanswered.

The Local Paper’s telephone call to Ms Elward, was unsuccessful. The Shire reception said Ms Elward had left for the day.

Ms Elward’s mobile phone was switched off.

Releasing a statement late on a Friday afternoon, especially on a long weekend, is a favoured tactic by Federal and State politicians if they want to avoid scrutiny on a project.

■ A media release from the Victorian State Government recently caught my eye.

Entitled 'More Support for Victorian Seniors' I felt that the contents would have to be relevant to our community. In reading further, this is certainly true.

The release was about the launch of a new report commissioned by the State Government for the Commissioner for Senior Victorians to investigate the issue of social isolation and loneliness amongst Victorian seniors.

The definition of 'seniors' for this purpose is 60 years of age and older - given that just the other day I heard 60 described as the 'new 40', you may not agree with the definition.

However, it is what it is.

So the report is called Ageing is Everyone's Business and reveals that isolation and loneliness are significant issues for our ageing population.

The report contains some interesting and valuable insights into real life experiences and incorporates feedback from various communities across the State and from people dealing with differing life issues.

It also has some updated projections on population figures and it is quite startling to think about these and what they mean for our communities, the services required to support them and the new challenges they will present.

For example, we know that population ageing is more pronounced in regional and rural areas; in 2011 18 per cent of those living in metropolitan Melbourne were over 60, compared with 23.5 per cent of those in regional Victoria.

But by 2031, the figures are projected to be 22.4 per cent in metropolitan Melbourne and 29.6% in regional Victoria - and, in fact, the top 10 regional local government areas with the highest older populations (of which we are not yet one) are projected to have populations of between 40-52 per cent. Our own projection suggests we will have around 32 per cent.

Whatever the ultimate figure, given that 10 per cent of the older population is estimated to experience social isolation, that alone will be a challenge to manage.

It is well understood that health and wellbeing are significantly enhanced in those members of our community who are socially engaged, and that they are happier and healthier than those who are socially isolated.

So the Government has adopted the report and announced a number of initiatives to support older people in the community including the Age-Friendly Victoria initiative with Age-Friendly Community Grants, an AgeFriendly Victoria Declaration signed with the MAV, an Age-Friendly Victoria Award, and the Seniors Card Age-Friendly Partners Program.

There will also be a new information and communication initiative by the Minister's Department called Life Planning for Seniors to encourage older people to plan for healthy and active ageing.

In addition, in our communities, we can also play our part.

Some of the best features of our lives and lifestyle are the most effective in supporting older people and in reducing social isolation.

These include recreation, leisure activities, volunteering, life-long learning, access to health and aged care services, libraries, mentoring, home care and ageing in place and we have so much of these available already.

No one organisation can deliver all the necessary aspects and strategies - but by working together, maintaining and building on the very effective framework currently in place, we can continue to be the warm, welcoming and supportive community for which we have such a great reputation.

If you are interested in reading the report, it can be found at www.seniorsonline. vic.gov.au where you can also find details about the Seniors CardAge-Friendly Partners Program and other helpful information. \- Cr Margaret Rae, Mayor Murrindindi Shire Council ● Space for the Mayor’s Column and Councillor’s Comment is provided without charge each week by The Local Paper.

Rotary Club of Club chartered 30 years ago ● By Ash Long, a Charter Member of the Rotary Club of Yea (1986), Past President (1993-94), and Paul Harris Fellow ■ Sunday sees the 30-year anniversary of the Rotary Club of Yea being admitted to Rotary International on May 1, 1986.

My report in the the Yea press, of the Charter Night which followed, three decades ago, read: Saturday evening in Yea saw the Charter Night for our own local club in the one million-member Rotary International organisation.

Past District Governor Mike Reiner inducted Yea engineer Daryl Callander as the Charter President of the body which was formed in February-March this year.

More than 230 people packed into a beautifully decorated Yea Shire Hall to witness the presentation of charter, and the induction of the 23 Rotarians from Yea. Meals and drinks were served by volunteers and it is expected that proceeds of more than $2000 will go towards the Yea’s Community Centre (Yea Indoor Recreation Centre) fund raising.

Chairman for the evening was Roy Fox, a Past President of the Rotary Club of Alexandra which is sponsor club for the Rotary Club of Yea. He welcomed all present including guests who had travelled long distances for the historic occasion.

Grace was recited by Barry Mackrell, last year’s President of the Alexandra club.

He was followed by this year’s President, Ian Welch, who proposed the Loyal Toast and led a hearty rendition of God Save The Queen.

Apologies, congratulations and roll-call were given by another Past President of the neighbouring club, Jack Sinclair.

Bill Hewitt gave an introduction and welcomed guests and visitors.

Yea members were particularly appreciative of the work that Bill and Betty Hewitt had done in preparing the Yea Shire Hall for the Charter Night.

International flags were suspended from the balcony, graced the stairs to the stage, and also were part of a backdrop.

Rotary Club bannerettes from around the world were displayed.

Blue and gold table napkins graced the tables, siginifying the colours of

80 Years Ago

Cr Walsh seeks rate rises for homes, discounts for farms ■ Murrindindi Shire Councillor John Walsh is keen to see certain rural land ratepayers receive a 30 per cent discount off their rates.

His plan is due for discussion at the Council meeting scheduled to be held tonight (Wed.) at the Alexandra Chambers.

Under his ‘notice of motion’, Cr Walsh proposes that ‘Rural 1’ landholders in the Shire pay 70 per cent of the general rate for the 2016-17 budget.

Currently, that category of ratepayers receives a 25 per cent discount.

Cr Walsh’s proposal would see an approximate average reduction of $122 per ‘Rural 1’ property.

Increases would apply to other categories: ■ residential, approximate average $17; ■ commercial and industrial, $29; ■ ‘Rural 2’, $28; ■ vacant land, $13.

● Cr John Walsh Cr Walsh also pro- ■ residential, up $28; poses that there be a 1 ■ commercial and per cent discount on industrial, $28; the general rate for ■ ‘Rural 1’, down ‘Rural 2’ landholders. $122; According to a ■ ‘Rural 2’, down table in the Council $16; meeting agenda, this ■ vacant land, up would create an aver- $21. age change per propThe argument beerty of: hind Cr Walsh’s pro-

posal is that there is an “ongoing disparity in revenue contributions” in each category.

“This is due to the inherent disparity within a rating system solely based on CIV (capital improved value),” says the agenda paper.

Past eligibility for the ‘Rural 1’ discount has been solely based on the size of the property being greater than 40 hectares.

There has been no requirement for the owners to live on the property, nor to use the property for anything other than a lifestyle change.

The argument is put that there is a ‘disadvantage of distance access to town based amentities’ experienced by those living on the properties at a distance from towns.

It is argued that the discount recognises the disadvantages of rural living, and that those people contribute to the local economy and social fabric.

Flower Show

■ The sixth Annual Show to be conducted by the Montmorency Horticultural Society was held in the Montmorency School on Saturday evening, when it was officially opened

by Cr Price.

The effects of the dry season were noticeable among the entries but despite this, the show was up to the standard of previous years.

Eltham: Kitchen tea

■ A kitchen tea has been arranged in he Fire Station on Wednesday evening'to honour Miss Mary Bell and Mr William Squires, whose approaching marriage has been announced.

The evening, which will take the form of a' social, has been sponsored by the Brigade. and the Basketball Club.

Miss Bell has been the popular secretary of the latter since its inception and has done much for the success of an efficient club.

Mr Squires has been a worthy member of the Fire Brigade, where he has proved his metal on several occasions both as a. fighter and a acompetitive entrant.

At Queenstown

■ At a happy gathering of many friends of Mr and Mr L. Standing in the Hut on Saturday night, the birthday of Mr Ray Hirt was celebrated.

Visitors represented all parts of the district, and a large number were from the city.

During the evening vocal items were rendered by Messrs G. Kirtley, K. Long, L. Standiing and M. Hart, and little Jean McDonald.

The decorations and the catering arrangenments were in the hands, of Mesdames Kirtley and Standing.: Mr C. Vissick was M.C.

Footy moves

■ Hurstbridge have definitely affiliated with the Diamond Vall|ey Association. At a special meeting to be held on Monday night, the Mernda Club will discuss the prospects of a similar move.

The move made by Hurstbridge has been definitely for the better of the district's football and a. strengthening link for the Diamond Valley Association, which this year is to be its strongest for. many years.

Should Mernda also join, this will leave Kinglake and. Panton Hill in the Panton Hill Association, which would be practically defunct.

South Morang

■ Dr Day, of Mernda, during the week has been testing and immunising scholars of the school. Because the council has refused to finance the scheme, those scholars who wish to be immunised are required to pay 2/6 for the test and a further 10/- to be immunised.

The Yea Story: Part 7

Meet Yea’s first settlers From The Story of Yea

by Harvey Blanks

Peter Snodgrass ■ The settlement of the Yea district of the Upper Goulburn may be said to have begun with the arrival of the ebullient young Peter Snodgrass in May 1837.

As no other squatters had come to that particular area, he had the run of all the country in the Muddy Creek watershed, and he decided to squat on the creekside of the Goulburn River.

Potentially, this was a magnificent run, but the terms of the depasturing licences issued soon afterward, which placed restrictions on the area that could be held according to the number of herd of stock that were grazed upon it, made it impossible for Snodgrass to hold the entire watershed.

He was the third son of Colonel Kenneth Snodgrass, at one time Acting-Governor of New South Wales and one of the Duke of Wellington’s PeninsularWar veterans.

Of adventurous natureand roving disposition, he does not appear to have been all that willing at first to settle down (a few years later, his father-in-law, while payin g a tribute to his fine qualities as a man and his superior intellect, was obliged to admit that he had been “a spendthrift”).

While Peter Snodgrass originally held depasturing licences for the areas known as Murrindindi and Muddy Creek, totalling some 41,000 acres, they did not long remain in his possession.

Holding a licence in those days was not the same, of course, as owning the land or holding any long-time title to it - a fact which undoubtedly presented the early settlers from attempting much in the way of improvements.

Murrindindi, licensed to carry 6000 sheep on his 25,000 acres, took in the maginificent Murrindindi Valley 10 milessouth of the future site ofYea. Muddy Creek was divided into two parts: Muddy Creek Aat the head of the Muddy Creek consisted of 6000 acres licensed to carry 600 cattle, and Muddy Creek B (which later became Glenmore Station) 10 miles south of Yea but westof the Muddy Creek, licensed to carry 5000 sheep on its 10,000 acres.

Snodgrass either sold or transferred his Murrindindi licences in 1839 to Dr Dugald Fletcher who was in partnership with one of the Cockburn Brothers (Ousley, William, Kennedyand Henry).

In 1845 he sold his Muddy Creek Alicence to L.T.D. Kilburn, Muddy Creek B having already been taken up in 1843 by William Bamblett, of whom nothing else is known.

Perhaps because the Upper Goulburn district had little in the way of entertainment or social life to offer a young unmarried man of good family about 1846, Peter Snodgrass’s restless high spirits kept him constantly on the move and in the thick of the action.

On his trip from Sydney to the Muddy Creek in 1837 he was involved in a stand-up fight with hostileAborigines near Wangaratta.

Overlanding to Adelaide by way

● Peter Snodgrass of the Murray on another occasion he lost most of his mob of sheep to a marauding band of natives.

Later, after he had acquired something of a reputation in Melbourne town as one of the gay young bachelors of the Upper Goulburn, he was one of a party who set out to capture some erstwhile Sydney convicts who had turned bushrangers and were terrorising homesteads near Melbourne; there was a fight, the leader of the bushrangers was killed, and several men were wounded on either side.

In 1844, while he was still grazing cattle on Muddy Creek A, he organised the Goulburn River Races, an ambitious two day meeting, on portion of Doogallook Station.

This was quite a social occasion, settlers coming from many miles around, and a contemporary account records that the races were “very well conducted; no disturbance whatever occurred, and although there were several falls oin the hurdle races, no serious accident occurred”.

John Cotton, of Doogallook, whose wonderfully informative letters to his brother, William, in England, provide fascinating and detailed picture of early life on the Upper Goulburn, has left us a per-

ceptible character sketch of the younmg Snodgrass in early 1846: “You will probably have heard that my daughter Agnes is likely to be married shortly to a Mr Peter Snodgrass, son of Colonel Snodgrass, who was Governor of this Colony some years back.

“Mr P. Snodgrass is well known by most persons in the Colony, and every person who does know him spoke well of him.

“It is said that he was included amongst the wild ‘mob’ of Goulburn, and that he has dissipated all the money that his father had supplied him with, but he promises to amend, and I have no doubt, from the licences of his character and the goodness of his heart, that he will do so, and I trust, make a good husband to my daughter.

“He was at one time a Commissioner of Crown Lands, but gave up the appointment. He is in expectation of being again appointed Commissioner, or of receiving some Government appointment should Port Phillip be separated from the middle or Sydney district.

“On his first mentioning the subject to me, I told him that I hoped he would wait until Agnes had turned 17 years of age, and that in the meantime he would reform his habits and become more steady.

“He had no objection to undergo any degree of probation that I might impose upon him.”

Peter Snodgrass duly married his Charlotte Agnes Cotton at Doogallook homestead on September 24, 1846,by which time she had turned 17.

The wedding was at eight o’clock in the morning and immediately afterward they left on horseback for Kilmore, some 30 miles to the west, to begin their honeymoon.

But the party at the homestead went on until four o’clock next morning, with much dancing in the evening following a race on the Doog-

● John Cotton of Doogallook Station

● Mrs John Cotton allook track during the afternoon, at which a handsome riding-whip was presented by the proud John Cotton as a prize for the winning rider.

“Although Mr Snodgrass is not possessed of much wordly wealth,” the father philosophised in a subsequent letter to his brother, “he is esteemed by everyone who knows him, and he is well known both here and at Sydney”.

After a honeymoon spent at Brighton and in Melbourne town, the Snodgrasses return to Doogallook for some 10 days, and then set out for a property which Peter had taken up near Portland.

But they were back at Doogalloook in July 1847, where their first child was born, and by the end of the year Snodgrass had decieded to dispose of his station at Portland, as it was too far away from his wife’s parents.

By February 1848, Peter had become a sort of unofficial manager for John Cotton, looking after Doogallook while his father-in-law tok a well-earned vacation and visited Sydney.

Cotton obviously enjoyed Snodgrass’s company, and praised him in a further letter to his brother in England: “I am sure you would be much pleased with the husband of my elder daughter.

“He is shrewd, steady, and muchloved by all. Mr Snodgrass has been a spendthrift, and is now, I am sorry to say, obliged to live with me, having no property of his own.

“He is, however, hard-working and remarkably good-tempered, kind to Agnes, and disposed to act the part of overseer for me.”

About this time, Snodgrass, in company with Richard Ryan, took two men across the Snowy Range into Gippsland, looking for some unoccupied counrty where some of Cotton’s cattle could be grazed on a share basis as a sideline.

Later, he found some suitable land near Port Fairy, and the project was reasonably successful.

Snodgrass afterward bringing back 763 head, of which 280 were profitably sold in Melbourne.

Early in 1849, the generoushearted John Cotton found a way in which he hoped to help his talented son-in-law.

About three years earlier he had disposed of another station he held on Davil’s River at Mansfield near the Sugarloaf Reservoir (some 40 miles distant) to a Mr Matson who, however, was unable to meet his debt.

Cotton found himself responsible for the debt, about £800, and therefore took back the station with all the sheep, cattle, etc. against the 3000 sheep he had originally advanced.

“I intend,” wrote Cotton, “that Mr and Mrs Snodgrass shall reside there, the former to conduct the station for me, and receive an adequate remuneration for doing so. They thus will have their home.”

Before the year was out, John Cotton died, aged only 47, and his letters contain only one more reference to Peter Snodgrass, a tiny sidelight that nevertheless helps round the picture of the man: “Tea is still our beverage. How Dr Johnson would glory in the habits of this Colony with respect to their tea drinking?

“I think, however, that my sonin-law, Mr P. Snodgrass, exceeds the great lexicographer in his portions of tea. He takes regularly threequarts of tea at breakfast, and the same quantity at dinner.

“You may reasonably suppose that the teapot is not a small one. It is somewhat of the size of a garden watering-pot, or of a small “still” as an Irish priest who was here this morning to breakfast said of it.”

Snodgrass went on to make a considerable name for himself in the early colony of Victoria. Eventually he took over Doogallook with his brother-in-law, William Cotton, in 1853 and then on his own behalf in 1860.

He held it until February 1865 when he lost it to Goldsborough and Company.

He became a Justice of the Peace and was a Member of the Legislative Council from 1851 to 1856 and of the Legislative Assembly in 1856 and 1857.

His name is commemorated in Yea by Snodgrass Street, parallel with High Street on the north side of the town.

One of Snodgrass’s four sons, Evelyn, entered the church and established a reputation as Archdeacon at St Kilda. Kenneth, the firstborn, died as a young man; the other two sons were named Frank and Douglas.

There were also four daughters of the marriage, Gertrude (Mrs D. McVean), Janet (who married Sir William Clarke, Bart), Eva (Mrs Frank Hughes) and Lily (who remained single and eventually went to England).

But the Snodghrass roots went deep in Yea. Peter’s brother William who bought Tarwell near Trawool, in 1855, had three sons, William, Thomas and Archibald.

William married Flora Purcell, daughter of E.S. Purcell, who, originally in partnership with J.W. Cairns, set up the famous store in the township which still bears his name, and lived at Kilroy, Ghin Ghin.

Thomas remained a bachelor, but Archibald had three sons, two of whom were killed in World War I, while the other died of an accident.

Archibald Snodgrass also had a fuaghter who achieved considerable fame as a hospital matron.

The Yea Story: Part 8

John Cotton settles in Yea From The Story of Yea

by Harvey Blanks

John Cotton

■ While the honour of being the first man to take up a licence in the Upper Goulburn area around the future township of Yea belongs to Peter Snodgrass, the first real settlers who determinedly established themselves and proceeded to carve out their destinies to the future glory of the Shire were all somewhat older men, with wives and families, sekking to put down their roots and by dint of hard work and canny business practices build a firm future for their children.

Some of these men have descendants still living and contributing to the life of the district that their forebears established.

The descendants of others have moved away and won names elsewhere and in fields other than pastoral.

It was a time of large families, yet often the female side predominated and the male line has all but finished.

One such line was that of John Coton, the great pioneer of Doogallook, whose pastoral activities lasted a tragically brief six years, ter in that time he left records, both written and pictorial in the form of sketches and paintings, that have not been equalled by any other early Victorian.

Born in South Devonshire in December 1801, he studied law at Oxford, and at the age of 51, in 1842, migrated to the newly-established Colony of Port Phgillip with several thousand pounds of capital, accompanied by his wife Susannah Edwards, with their four sons and five daughters.

He arrived at Hobson’s Bay in 1843, carrying in his extensive luggage everything that he thought might be of value in his new country - including a frame house which he intended to erect on his new property as soon as he acquired one.

This far-sighted plan never, in fact, eventuated, as he found when he landed that the local price of handmade bricks made it uneconomical for him to transport his ‘instant home’ by bullock wagon to the Muddy Creek area.

His ship, the Parkfield, arrived in Hobson’s Bay on May 14, 1843, and he was soon met by his brother Edward Cotton, who had preceded him to Port Phillip and was already established at Balham Hill Station, overlooking the future site of Molesworth.

Edward was to be the source of many headaches to John Cotton, who had a strong sense of family responsibility and spent much of his time trying to rescue his free-spending brother from the financial disasters that eventually overtook him.

But on that bright, still and sunny day when the two brothers were reunited at Port Melbourne, all was rejoicing.

Edward had been waiting for some six weeks at Melbourne for the arrival of the Parkfield, and his sojourn away from BalhamHills must have been an expensive one, for John Cotton noted with some sense of foreboding in his very first letter to his brother William: “I have found him in difficulties, as you may supp-

● John Cotton ose and as I expected, but I trust that we shall be able to overcome them and establish a comfortable home at his station.”

Melbourne at the time had a population of about 14,000, and its wide and well-spaced streets were already laid out, although they were axle-deep in mid in winter, and hazed by a perpetual cloud of dust in summer.

Edward was in debt to his brother who had advanced him the money to set up Balham Hill, but before setting to work to straighten out their financial arrangements John Cotton decided to spend a month or two in lodgings in Melbourne (full board for his entire family cost him £8 a week) before proceeding to the Upper Goulburn.

John Cotton noted: “All his (Edward’s) srock is transferred to me, and I shall to all intents and purposes be proprietor of the station, etc., until he is enabled to repay me the money that has been advanced to him by me ... I could not have arrived at a better period, every species of stock being so very cheap, and the price of the produce being nearly the same as last year.”

Cotton concluded his letter by giving his address for all future correspondence: ‘Ballam Hill Station, on the River Goulburn, Port Phillip, NSW’.

Less than four months later, however, Cotton’s view of stock and produce prices had changed drastically.

He spoke of the “deplorable condition in which most of the earlier settlers find themselves, owing to the stagnation of trade, the great depression in price of every species of produce, of stock, merchandise, etc., and to the shamefyl system of fraud and speculation ahich has ruined the

credit of the Colony and of hundreds of individuals.”

In the meantime, Cotton had spent three weeks in the bush and had paid a visit to his brother Edward’s Balham Hill Station. Purchasing a light spring cart drawn by a horse supplied by a Mr Clifton - a fellow passenger of the Parkfield who accompanied the party with his brother on horse-back, as they too, were looking for a property on the Goulburn River - Cotton set out through the exceedingly rich pastoral country of the Mooney Ponds, where already a few farms had been established, and headed for the pass over the Great Dividing Range known later as Pretty Sally.

Wild turkeys were sighted everywhere, as well as cockatoos, parakeets, king parrots and many other birds.

Cotton was a keen ornithologist, and his later drawings of Australian birds attracted considerable notice both in the colony and in England.

Several nights out from Melbourne, the party came to a station owned by a Mr J.H. Campbell, where they spent the night.

Mr Campbell’s station fascinated Cotton. He found it “beautifully situated in a rich flat surrounded by wooded ranges, here we saw the beautiful king parrot and the pretty green parakeet feeding in flocks on the straw by the barn door”.

After sampling Mr Campbell’s hospitality, Cotton and his party proceeded through more forest land, crossed the Muddy Creek named by Hume and Hovell, ascended another hill which, because of its proximity to Edward’s station would eventually become known as Cotton’s Pinch, and found themselves looking down on Balham Hill.

“On entering it,” noted John Cotton, “I was much pleased with the beauty of the spot. The trees are rather thinly scattered over the flat, and there are extensive lagoons where ducks abound.

“We soon arrived at his (Edward’s) hut where we received a warm welcome. The hut is small, but with the addition of another room or two would be a comfortable abode for the bush.

“He has unfortunately, however, been been building a commodious brick home which as a settler’s residence will be unique, I believe, to the bush.

“It will enhance the value of the station certainly, but will probably

● A ‘king parrot’ attract more travellers than we may wish to see, for as there but few inns upon the road, each settler is obliged to afford board and lodgings to those persons who may be passing”.

During his stay with Edward Cotton, John slept in a slabskillion against the side of the hut but on a mattress placed upon abedof dead ferns, sharing his accommodation with two men, one of whom, he noted, snored constantly.

Finding that Edward served breakfast rather late for his tastes, John Found time for a few hours’ labour to work up an appetite - a foretaste, perhpas, of the frugal habits and great industry which were to make him one of the district’s most successful pastoralists - and at the same time noted the great variety of birdlife to be observed about the homestead: white cockatoos, king parrots, green parakeets, eaglehawks, several species of honey-eaters, warblers, and numerous tribes of small birds, including the bellbird.

However much Balham Hill attracted him, John Cotton’s thoughts kept hankering back to Campbell’s station where they had stayed the night.

Campbell was a Scottish highlander, one of the first settlers in the whole of the Port Phillip district.

Like many early settlers, however, he had borrowed heavily to buy his stock and set up his station, and had fallen seriously into debt.

The property which had so attracted Cotton was now up for sale, and he rode over one day to assess its potentials.

It rained heavily the whole time he was there, which prevented him from covering the entire area, but he learened that it was already carrying more than 1100 sheep, 560 lambs

● Doogallook Homestead as it now stands

and 400 head of cattle, with great capacity for improvement.

There was a slab house, a barn, and woodshed, several huts for the labourers, a dairy, a stack of hay and another of wheat, crops were growing, and the property was fully equipped with all essential farm and dairy implements.

An educated man, Cotton immediately saw its possibilities. He believed that he could let the dairy and the farm to someone who would be his sujperintendent, and pay all expenses, his own profit would come from the increase in stock, while giving him a plentiful supply of beef, pork, butter, milk, etc., at no cost to himself.

The sheep station he would conduct himself, and as shearing time was approaching this would yield an immediate profit - espceially as he would have only a couple of months’ wages to pay the shepherd.

In an enthusiastgic letter to his brother, William, he wrote: “I get £5 per cent on the capital which I have deposited at the bank, and hope and trust that I shall see my annual income progressively increase.

“The station is in an extremely pretty situation, with a river frontage of six miles, and the whole run extends over perhaps seven square miles.

“The flat is surrounded by wooded ranges and there are several extensive lagoons where black swans and wild ducks are constantly seen.

“What do you think of all this? I can assure you that many people of wealth in England might envy me the possession of such a locality.”

So the die was cast. John Cotton had found his dream home and the Antipodean paradise where he would rear his children.

Already, his memories of Victorian England, with its closepacked industrial slums and smoking factory chimneys were fading as he absorbed the pastoral beauties of his new land.

“I do not take possession until September ... the trees about are numerous, indeed, it is surrounded by a forest of white and blue gum, and stringy bark and box trees; the wattle shrubs and honey suckle trees will then be in blossom, and the bush alive with birds of beautiful plumage and brilliant with flowers and blossoms.

“A pleasant prospect you will say, may it be realised. Amen! say I.” That same month, September 1843, John Cotton entered his 26,800 acre Australian parasie. Its name was Doogallook (Aboriginal name derived from the sound of the frogs found in the many lagoons there.)

When Cotton took possession of Doogallook, it consisted of hilly, watershed ranges and well-watered flats, with the placid Goulburn River flowing about a stone’s throw from the pleasant hill where the primitive homestead stood.

There was an enclosed paddock of 5000 acres, and 40 acres of ploughed land, and it was carrying 400 herd of cattle and 1800 sheep and lambs, besides poultry and pigs.

For Doogallook, Cotton paid about £2000, and the remainder of his capital was left either on deposit at the bank or ibested in motgages. ● To be continued next week in The Local Paper.

Yea juniors struggle against B’ford UNDER 10 It was a tough training night for the Under 10s last Thursday night, the young Tiger cubs having to learn about offence and defence.

It was just as well because they came up against a strong Broadford Under 10’s side.

The level of skill and a "will to play hard" gave the spectators of this match a great game to watch.

There were a lot more goals scored in this game and players are now starting to win their positions. l look forward to watching the young Tiger Cubs improving over the coming weeks.

Well done team. Coaches awards went to Rustin Marks, Angus Antrobus, James Slevin, Rhiley Philpott, Sam Grogan and Cooper Holdsworth-Rose - Clint Rose

● AFL champions Mal and Cam Brown spoke before the Kinglake-Yea clash on Monday.

UNDER 12 Yea travelled to Broadford to take on the undefeated Roos on Sunday.

Broadford started the better and had Yea's defenders busy in the first term. The Tigers’ only scoring opportunity came when Riley Slevin ran the length of the ground with his shot at goal narrowly missing. ¼ time: Yea 0.1 (1) to Broadford 4.3 (27) Yea played better footy in the second term keeping the Roos to just two goals. Riley Frankcombe was playing a blinder and booted Yea's first goal midway through the quarter. ½ time: Yea 1. 1 (7) to Broadford 6.3 (39) The third quarter was played much like the second and Yea was enjoying some dominant periods.

Oliver Wischer produced the highlight of the term when he marked strongly 30 metres from goal. Wischer then split the middle with a spiral torpedo that sailed through post high. ¾ time: Yea 2. 3 (15) to Broadford 8.4 (52) The Tigers battled on well in the final term.

Luke Kelderman, Angus Shawand Will Clarke competed well all day and Chayne Klinge played his best game for the side off the half back line.

Congratulations to both teams on putting on an entertaining match.

Final scores: Yea 2.4 (16) to Broadford 12.6 (78) Goalkickers: Riley Frankcombe and Oliver Wischer.

Best players: Riley Frankcombe, Luke

Kelderman, Angus Shaw, Will Clarke, Noah Hildebrand and Chayne Klinge.

Awards: Riley Frankcombe, Luke Kelderman, Angus Shaw, Will Clarke and Noah Hildebrand.

- Chris Slevin UNDER 14 No repprt.

Scores: Broadford 8.6 (54) d Yea 5.8 (38) UNDER 16 This game was tough from the onset with only 11 boys on the field. With one Broadford player per quarter the game got underway. They boys were slow to start the first quarter with Broadford's fast attacking game style. The second quarter the boys began to knit together better. The third quarter Yea attacked the ball and slowed the Broadford attack. The last quarter the boys battled well, but in the end Broadford were just too strong. Still only early in the season and Yea has plenty of potential.

Grandstander Holiday reports

■ Public holidays play havoc with sports schedules and reports from correspondents.

A number of reports were received after the 5.30am Tuesday print-time of The Local Paper. We regret that those reports were unable to be included in this issue.

Special ANZAC Day fixtures were scheduled in many competitions, but final scores were not to hand when we went to press.

Ladders were meaningless without these results, so we have not published ladders in these cases.

Everything should return to normal with next week’s issue.
