Pets banned at Bend of Islands ■ Local MLA Cindy McLeish has told State Parliament about the unique Bend of Islands community where pets are banned.

The Bend of Islands is near Kangaroo Ground, close to the Yarra Glen Rd. “I went to the 40th year celebrations of environmental living at Bend of Islands, held at the local fire shed,” Ms McLeish told the Legislative Assembly.

“Established in 1976 through a planning category that saw the area originally granted environmental living zone, Bend of Islands is in the south-west of my electorate on the north side of a bend in the Yarra River. It is quite a unique pocket.

“The almost 300-strong community members live on 634 hectares of bushland.

“This setting and zoning ensures that the flora and fauna

● Cindy McLeish MLA are protected through strict regulations.

“The keeping of pets and livestock is not permitted, nor is the introduction of non-indigenous plants.

“The community are driven to protect the uniqueness of the area and the values that they have committed to over the last 40 years.

“Over the years land has been traded, people have moved in and out, but the area has still retained its special character.

“It takes work to maintain this character, not only on an individual level but also on a community level.

“The Bend of Islands ConservationAssociation, through president Neil Kamminga and his committee, spend considerable time and energy on weed control and regeneration works in line with their land management plan.

“Their knowledge and motivation is to be commended.

“Many current and former residents attended the celebrations, with many memories shared from the foundation members, who provided an interesting history of the challenges they faced over time,” Ms McLeish said.

● Sophie Mirabella ■ The former Liberal candidate for Indi, Sophie Mirabella, is owed an apology by Federal MHR Cathy McGowan, State Parliament has been told.

Wendy Lovell, MLC for North-Eastern Province, said this month that the Benalla Enisgn newspaper had published an apology to Ms Mirabella.

“Harassment, bullying or violence towards women is something that all members of Parliament should oppose, so it is concerning that the member for the federal seat of Indi, Cathy McGowan, not only condoned the harassment of a Wangaratta-based woman and mother but also participated by further exacerbating the harassment and bullying,” Ms Lovell told the Legislative Council.

“During the federal election campaign the Benalla Ensign wrongly reported that Sophie Mirabella had physically pushed MsMcGowan.

“When approached for comment MsMcGowan should have spoken out and told the truth, which would have immediately killed the story, as she was asked to do at the time.

“But instead of doing the right thing, MsMcGowan chose to use the situation for her own political advantage and refused to confirm or deny the claim.

“This fuelled the story and caused further bullying, harassment and duress to MrsMirabella.

“The Benalla Ensign recently printed an apology to MrsMirabella six months after the incident, which was too little, too late.

“Cathy McGowan should now also apologise to MrsMirabella and the constituents of Indi, who she effectively mislead by not speaking out and telling the truth.”

Curfew didn’t work

■ An overnight truck curfew in Nillumbik has not worked, Eastern Metropolitan MLC Mary Wooldridge has told State Parliament.

“My constituency question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety,” Ms Wooldridge said this month.

“The question is: when will the government announce a decision on the future of the north-east truck curfew?

“The government decided to implement a one-year truck curfew in Montmorency, Eltham and Viewbank from August 2015.

“The ban was from 10pm. to 6am and was designed to improve local areas at night in the affected area.

“The Victorian Transport Association claims that the curfew has failed and has created more congestion during the day.

“It argues that the operators use other roads or delay their travel to the morning peak because they still have to move freight.

“This is having an impact from Ryans Rd to Wattletree Rd, from Lower Plenty Rd to Main Rd and from St Helena Rd to Karingal Drive in Eltham.

“It is also impacting Bolton St in Eltham and roads in the neighbouring electorates.

“Consultations are underway, but no decision has yet been announced in relation to the curfew.

“My constituents are seeking an answer to the question of when a decision will be announced,” Ms Wooldridge said.

Better luck next time ■ Have relations between Murrindindi Shire Council and the Y Water CentreAssociation become a little prickly?

Earlier this year Association representatives were peeved when Council CEO Margaret Abbey apparently declined to a meeting being held with other Council officers.

At tonight’s Council meeting, a report recommends that the Y Water Centre’s application for a $5000 grant be delayed until the next round in March.

The Yea association wants the funds to “progress an incomplete landscaping project including the creation of an amphitheatre looking out into the wetlands”.

Council officers want more information.

All Councillors are members of the Yea Cemetery Trust.

Commuters angry

■ Commuters who use the Seymour railway to travel to Melbourne each weekday are angry about schedule times, State Parliament has been told.

Jaclyn Symes, Northern Metropolitan MLC, said: “Ms SYMES (Northern Victoria)—My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Public Transport, and the action I seek is a minor change to the Seymour to Melbourne timetable.

“Currently on Mondays to Fridays the first train arrives at Southern Cross station at 6.46am. Many residents along the line are having their employment and training opportunities negatively impacted by the inability to get to their place of work or study by 7am,” Ms Symes said.

“Last week I met with a delegation of Kilmore residents to hear the stories of locals who find the timetable frustrating and the measures that they have to take to meet their work and training needs also frustrating.

“Louise is a nurse whose shift at the Epworth starts at 7am. She simply cannot make it from Southern Cross to the hospital in 14 minutes. She drives to Craigieburn to catch the metro service to the city and has a choice of arriving at 5.10 am, 5.21am, 5.30am, 5.41am, 5.50am, 6.10am. or 6.30am, all at Southern Cross and all before the 6.46am option if she were to use the Seymour line.

“Laura is a zoologist with a 7.00am start at the zoo.

“For her it is also a case of having to drive to Craigieburn first.

“Corey from Clonbinane is a tradesman who is currently working on a building site in St Kilda R d. It is ridiculous that he literally drives over the tracks of the Seymour train line on his way to the Craigieburn station to get a connecting service there.

“These are just some of the stories of locals in my area who would like to see a tweak to the timetable. There are plenty more nurses, tradies, apprentices and hospitality workers who are required to start work or a course at 7am.

“Some of them are driving all the way to Melbourne and paying exorbitant parking fees or leaving their cars at Craigieburn station.

“Others are having to relocate from their homes to Melbourne. Then there are those that are having to forgo their opportunities in the city, simply due to the timetable.

“I am asking for the minister to implement a change so that the first train that leaves from Seymour will see commuters arrive at Southern Cross station before 6.30am on Mondays to Fridays.” ● The Local Paper eagerly wants to hear your local news. Email to: editor@LocalPaper.com.au

More Council meetings likely to be held in Yea

Council Watch New Councillors

■ Murrindindi Shire’s new Council sits at its first ordinary meeting tonight (Wed.) at the Alexandra chambers.

Mayor Cr Charlie Bisset and Deputy Mayor Cr Sandice McAulay will lead the meeting, also due to be attended by Cr Jackie Ashe (Eildon), Cr Bec Bowles (Cheviot), Cr Leigh Dunscombe (Kinglake), Cr Eric Lording (King Parrot) and Cr Margaret Rae (Red Gate).

The meeting is due to commence at 6pm, and is open to the public. Two matters - the gravel road re-sheeting program and the sealed roads program - are due to be discussed in a confidential section of the meeting, at the end of the evening’s agenda.

Russell complains to Chief Magistrate ■ Yea man Jack Russell has lodged an official complaint with Victoria’s Chief Magistrate Peter Lauritsen over the conduct of a case last week in which charges including unlawful assault against Mr Russell were found proven.

Magistrate Stella Stuthridge found that Russell had unlawfully assaulted Murrindindi Shire employee Kerry Tull at the Yea Library in April, after Mr Russell had been banned from the premises by Council CEO Margaret Abbey.

Ms Stuthridge imposed fines and costs aggregating $3500 against Mr Russell Mr Russell alleges that Magistrate Stella Stuthridge allowed Mrs Tull’s Victim Impact Statement, signed on November 12, to be introduced.

He argues that a Victim Impact Statement needs to be lodged at the start of a court case.

Mr Russell was given a copy of Mrs Tull’s statement, which he provided, un-requested, to The Local Paper.

The Local Paper has decided not to publish any of the content of Mrs Tull’s statement, as she opted for it not to be read aloud in Court.

Mr Russell argues that he was not convicted of any charges at last week’s hearing, contrary to the report in the November 16 issue of this newspaper.

He says he was fined without conviction.

● Jack Russell Mr Russell says that he is “impecunious” and does not have any funds or assets to pay the $3500 in fines and costs.

He says that any action by the Sheriff to ‘clamp’ the wheels on his car, or to limit his driving, would fail.

He says such action is only allowed in motoring offences.

The Victorian State Government says that in regard to criminal warrants: “To enforce an infringement warrant, a sheriff's officer calls at the address of the person named on the infringement warrant to demand payment from that person.

“If payment is not made, a seven day notice is given to the person named on the infringement warrant.

“If payment has not been made within seven days, or the person has not obtained a payment order or obtained revocation (cancellation) of the enforcement order that triggered

the infringement warrant, the sheriff's officer can seize and sell assets belonging to the person to the value of the outstanding debt.

“If there are no assets, a sheriff's officer can arrest the person named on the infringement warrant.

“If the person is eligible and consents, they may be released on a Community Work Permit, or if they are not eligible or do not consent, they may be bailed to appear before a magistrate.

“After appearing before a magistrate, the person may be imprisoned for one day for every $155.46 outstanding, or part thereof.”

Mr Russell, 78, says he intends to approach the Supreme Court or County Court, to have Ms Stuthridge’s determintation set aside.

Mr Russell pleaded not guilty to the three charges: unlawful assault, breach of the peace, and trespass.

Mr Russell says than bans placed on him attending more than 40 venues by Murrindindi Shire Council jeopardise his liberties under the Charter of Human Rights Act. Mr Russell alleges that Magistrate Stuthridge refused to step down after he accused her of bias.

Mr Russell further alleges that the Council and Police set out “to harm my reputation and my standing in this rural community”.

■ Jack Russell, Yea citizen, wants to test rules surrounding question time at Murrindindi Shire Council meetings.

Mr Russell says he has asked Council CEO Margaret Abbey for permission to attend the Shire meeting tonight (Wed.), despite a ban imposed upon him earlier this year.

Mr Russell was asked by then-Mayor Cr Margaret Rae to leave a meeting held at Strath Creek Hall, because of what was regarded as unruly behaviour. Mr Russell denies the allegation.

Mr Russell says members of the public are only each allowed two questions at question time. He says he intends to ask two questions: two in his own capacity as a citizen; and a further two questions as the ‘Secretariat’of the Yea and District Progress Association.

Mr Russell has told The Local Paper that the Association does not have sufficient members to incorporate.

Model rules under the Associations Incorporation Reform Act 2012 and Associations Incorporation Reform Regulations 2012 provide for a minimum number of five members.

Cr portfolios

■ The meeting tonight (Wed.) of Murrindindi Council is likely to appoint Councillors to the following portfolios: ■ Land use planning, Cr Margaret Rae; ■ Economic development, Cr Jackie Ashe; ■ Corporate and customer services, Cr Leigh Dunscombe; ■ Community Services, Cr Sandice McAulay; ■ Natural Environment and Climate Change, Cr Bec Bowles; ■ Infrastructure and Waste, Cr Eric Lording.

Allowances set

■ An officer recommendation to tonight’s meeting of Murrindindi Shire Council suggests that the Council adopts the existing Mayoral allowance of $57,812, plus 9.5 per cent superannuation, be set for Cr Charlie Bisset.

An accompanying recommendation suggests a Councillor allowance of $19,350 plus 9.5 per cent superannuation.

It is likely that allowances will be made monthly in advance.

Press proposal

■ Cr Eric Lording has given notice of motion that “in order to greatly improve timely communication to the southern sector ofthe Shire, including Strath Creek, Flowerdale, Hazeldene, Kinglake West, Pheasant Creek, Kinglake and surrounds, Toolangi, Castella and Glenburn, it is proposed that all print advertisements and articles issued by the Council to also be placed in The Local Paper.”

Committee jobs

■ Murrindindi Council will ratify the membership of its Audit Advisory Committee.

Membership is likely to comprise Cr Charlie Bisset, Cr Sandice McAulay and Cr Leigh Dunscombe. Other Committee membership will also be ratified.

CEO under fire

■ A Kangaroo Ground man who convinced VCAT to scrap a divisive planning scheme amendment has called for the Nillumbik Council chief executive’s resignation and an investigation into the shire’s administration.

The Council voted to abandon Amendment C101 back in April, but it was overturned weeks later when councillors called on Planning Minister Richard Wynne to appoint a panel to make the final call.

Kangaroo Ground resident Max Parsons, who was against the amendment, took the issue to VCAT and won.

Hefty fines threat

■ Behaviour that may be dismissed as a prank could have much bigger implications for the community and perpetrators, according to police and CFA. Healesville Police are investigating incidents where wheelie bins were set alight behind the IGA supermarket at Coldstream.

A number of bins were set alight on Thursday night, November 10, in two separate incidents, and again on Saturday night, November 12, when three bins were targeted.

Fireball success

■ Fireball 2016 is being applauded as an outstanding sold-out success, raising more than $70,000 in much needed funds for local CFAs in a truly glamorous Saturday night affair.

The final figure matched 2014’s result when $70,000 was raised to contribute to a new truck for the North Warrandyte CFA. This year, the funds raised will go towards buying a Slip-On: a 4WD first-respondent vehicle on the wish-list of the Greater Warrandyte brigades for many years.

Fire Ready Day

■ Around 50 people attended the Triangle Community Bushfire Safety Day held at Settlers Park on October 23.

CFA, SES and Forest Fire Management personnel joined with the Marysville and Triangle Community Foundation to present information to members of the community about the coming fire season.

While it was difficult to appreciate the pending fire season on the day, a good number of people took time to ask questions and engage with the various displays.

Pool owners alert

■ Check your pool fence or you may face court and a $78,000 fine, authorities warn.

With statistics showing more than half of Australian toddler drownings happen in backyard pools, Yarra Ranges Council is warning homeowners to make sure their safety barriers are compliant.

The warning comes after a Croydon South three-year-old died in hospital days after being found unconscious in his family’s backyard pool on October 25.

“Maroondah Council said an investigation into the incident was ongoing and Leader is not suggesting the family did anything wrong.

“Yarra Ranges’ social and economic development director Ali Wastie said faulty pool fencing was to blame for a large number of drowning deaths in pools.

Seymour Show

■ The annual show at Seymour, held on Saturday last, was largely attended, £155 being taken at the gate. The State Governor and Lady Huntingfield were present. Ring events were numerous, and attracted a splendid entry. However, those who attend shows are divided into several groups - some are interested in cattle, some in horses, and others in side-shows.

When Harry Johns announced that Jack McNamee would have a round or two with one of his boxers, the boxing tent became the main focal point, as McNamee is a local boxer with a State reputation.

Of the various shows, Alexandra was the only one to charge 1/ for admission. The others all charged 2/.

Hospital Ball

■ On Friday night last a ball was held in the Molesworth Hall in aid of the Alexandra District Hospital. It was organised by Miss Esme Mahoney. who had the ready assistance of a number of Molesworth ladies.

The hall was well filled notwithstanding a couple of counter attractions in other parts that naturally lessened the number of dancers at this popular annual function. Sparke's orchestra provided excellent music, and the ladies supplied a splendid supper.

The hospital committee was represented by the President and Mr. Les Stillman. Mr. Guthridge (president) thanked Miss Mahoney, and the ladies associated with her for their kindness in organising the ball, and said that the work of the hospital was being carried out under harmonious condition, and in a highly efficient manner.

“My question is for the Minister for Tourism and Major Events,” Ms Ward asked.

“What is the minister doing to promote tourism in the local government areas of Banyule and Nillumbik?

“As the minister will be aware, my community is vibrant, beautiful and creative.

“In October, along with the member for Yan Yean, we hosted an event to promote Nillumbik as a great place not only to visit but also in which to create and promote local businesses.

“We know that tourism not only helps local economies but also helps create local jobs.

“It was clear at this event that my electorate has a great deal of wonderful, unique qualities to offer not just locals but also visitors from near and far.

“It needs to be noted that business owners and operators who attended spoke about the challenge in belonging to an interface area—not quite city and not quite country.

“Our green wedge, our river, our food and wine production, and our historical and cultural attributes are great assets for the region, but we need to do more.”

■ On Friday night last a successful concert and dance was held in the hall and attracted a large crowd. The Yarck and District Entertainers presented two one-act plays, and items were rendered by Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Cullis, Mrs. J. Wright Jnr., Miss Muriel Shaw and Messrs. J. Wright and Lindsay Shaw.

The dance too was well patronised, despite the fact that a Hospital ball was held at Molesworth on the same evening. Messrs.

Tremayne and Moore supplied lively music for the dancing and Mr. J. Blakeney acted as M.C. The local ladies provided an excellent supper, after which the Captain of the Rifle (Mr. R. A. Shaw) presented trophies recently won by Les Shaw, "Bun" Blakeney and Noel Caddy, over ranges 300, 500 and 600 yards, and donated by Messrs. G. Burge, J. Halligan and D. J. Shaw. Dancing continued till 3 a.m.

Black Saturday victims to pay $13m tax bill ■ Black Saturday bushfire victims are likely to be paying lawyers Maurice Blackburn'sapparent $13 million tax debt on interest earned from the $794 million bushfire class actions.

The actions comprise settlements total $494 million from the Kilmore East-Kinglake case, and $300 million in the MurrindindiMarysville action.

Bushfire victims may have their payments reduced to pay the law firm’s Australian Tax Office debt.

Supreme Court Judge Forrest has called an urgent case management conference for today (Wed., Nov. 23) to question under oath Maurice Blackburn's independent auditor.

An ATO spokeswoman questioned a $20 million tax figure but would not confirm a correct figure due to privacy laws. Correspondence from Maurice Blackburn indicates a $13 million tax liability.

As reported in The Local Paper on June 8, Maurice Blackburn's equity owning senior partners began receiving the largest dividend stream in the company's history in late May and early June from Australia's record-setting class action settlemement.

An ATO spokesman stated: "(We are) not taxing the court-approved settlement amount, we would only tax bank interest."

The ruling means interest earned on the principal sum of $794 million will be taxed and class action participants are likely to have their settlement payments reduced to pay Maurice Blackburn's tax liability.

An email from Maurice Blackburn says: "In light of the ATO's response ...we will distribute the personal injury settlement monies on the basis that the maximum potential taxa-

COMMENT

by Ashley Geelan tion amount is payable from the settlement distribution fund.

“Unfortunately, this will involve us deducting over $13 million from the settlement distribution fund in this action."

The ATO states that "Australian income tax applies to any interest earned while a settlement sum has been held on deposit with a financial institution, as it would for any taxpayer who has money deposited in a bank account that attracts interest".

"Ordinary income, which includes interest earned in this circumstance, is included in assessable income under section 6-5 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997," said the ATO when asked in response to questioning.

"When funds are held by a person on trust for others (beneficiaries) the rules in the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 relating to the income tax treatment of trusts apply.

“These rules determine whether the trustee or the beneficiaries of the trust are required to pay income tax on the income of the trust, which includes interest income."

Maurice Blackburn responded in a press release by principal Andrew Watson: "The firm had been trying to get clarity from the ATO on the taxation issues from mid-2015 in order to help with the distribution process and the shock news had only been provided within the last fortnight, prior to today's case management hearing."

"We have fought for bushfire survivors every step of this long, tough road, and we're not about

to let this latest hurdle pass unchallenged either," said Andrew Watson "(We are) ... in discussions with our taxation advisors," and "last week the ATO communicated its view that taxation is payable on all interest earned on the settlement sum," "(We) are extremely disappointed with this result."

An earlier email dated August 19 to Maurice Blackburn and seen by this journalist , a Black Saturday survivor, asked "Is there any tax payable on any of the settlement funds?"

The response from Maurice Blackburn on August 25 then states "(we) are unable to provide you with (the) taxation implications of any settlement payment. You should seek seperate independent advice."

Personal injury claimants may have their payments reduced as the "actual recovery rate will be slightly lower than the estimated 65 per cent to 70 per cent ... quoted in the Personal Injury Brochure."

Whilst economic and property loss claimants, "based on the assements ... that have been assesed to date it is likely the recovery rate will remain within the 20 p;er cent-35 per cent recovery rate range " Maurice Blackburn also stated: "We are very pleased to confirm that we remain on track to distribute compensation to personal injury claimants by the end of 2016 (and) economic and propery loss claimants in early 2017."

There "remains a number of factors affecting the distribution (of settlement payments) that are outside our control and could result in foreseen delays," said Watson.

Maurice Blackburn did not respond to several requests for comment before deadline.

Tigers home by single run ■ Yea's Under 14 cricketers travelled to Kings Park Seymour to challenge Eastern Hill on Saturday.

Opening batsmen Monty Lawson and Riley Slevin combined well and did a great job setting up Yea's innings.

Riley leapt upon any loose deliveries early before being dismissed for 27 and Monty held the innings together before being caught for 22 with the score on 63.

Max Hargreaves and Matthew Luke both added valuable runs late in the innings which closed at 4/88 from 25 overs.

Yea's opening bowlers Ruby O'Dwyer and Abby Christieand first changers Leo Halford-Molinaro and Austen Ross had a relatively small total to defend but did a brilliant job with the ball keeping Eastern Hill to just 11 off 8 overs.

Ruby O'Dwyer caught an absolute blinder at square leg in the 10th over to have Eastern Hill in trouble at 1/15.

Eastern Hill then took control of the match with Nick Quigg and Zade Wyatt both retiring on 30.

All looked lost when wicket keeper Riley Slevin came into the attack with Eastern Hill requiring just 13 off 4 overs for victory.

Riley combined with old mate Ruby to tie the batsmen down and

by Ruby's final over Eastern Hill required 5 to win.

The crowd held its breath as Ruby pounded in for the first delivery of the final over, dot ball.

With ice flowing through her veins Ruby turned and charged toward the batsmen, only this time she came in like a cannonball ripping stumps from the pitch.

Under 12

■ Murrindindi Library Service held a special lunch for Alexandra Library volunteers on Wednesday (Nov. 16).

Murrindindi Shire Council Mayor Charlie Bisset said that the lunch was a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge and thank the volunteers for their devotion and commitment to the Library.

"Volunteers extend the ability of the Library to provide services to the community, by providing funds to support its operations and activities, and the resources to enable a wide range of services to be provided to the community,” Cr Bisset said.

"This support also enables staff to deliver an exceptional suite of programs that cover a wide range of interests and meets the needs of numerous sectors of the community.

"Volunteers include the Friends of the Library who run the Bookshop seven days a week.

“Funds raised from the Bookshop have been used to purchase library furniture, sponsor a variety of speakers, writers and performers as part of the annual library program and also catering for library events.

"On a weekly basis, volunteers compile, print and deliver a large print version of theAlexandra Standard newspaper to vision-impaired members of the community while others champion Writers' and Poetry Groups or a knitting and crochet group. On a monthly basis, volunteers deliver library books to the house-bound,” Cr Bisset said.

Yea A-Grade

■ Saturday saw Yea take on Broadford in the second week of their two-day match.

Yea resumed at 9/111 with a lead of 26 on the first innings, unfortunately they were unable to add to their score before losing their final wicket.

Matthew Lockhart was the best of the batsman, finishing with 47 runs which delivered Yea first innings points.

Broadford quickly set about overturning this deficit and building a lead, with the score reaching 60 and opener Zerella making a brisk 48 before being dismissed.

This triggered a collapse from Broadford who were unable to form any substantial partnerships in the face of some quality bowling from the Yea attack.

Broadford crumbled to be 116 all out on the back of an outstanding spell of bowling from Cam Armstrong who returned the impressive figures of 6/37.

Yea wasset the task of chasing 91 runs for victory late in the day, they made a quick start before losing their first wicket on 13.

With no Yea batsmen being able to make a significant score many small contributions were required from all batsmen in the order.

Armstrong once again led from the front top scoring with 18 with support coming from Chisholm (16) and Akers (9).

The match reached a nail-biting conclusion with the last wicket partnership Matthew Bridges and Aiden McSpeerin coming together with three runs required.

The pair showed nerves of steel to hit the required runs and deliver Yea an outright win and maximum points for the game in what is one of the best wins the club has seen in recent years.

Yea B-Grade

■ B-Grade suffered its second loss of the season against an experienced Kilmore outfit.

Kilmore won the toss and elected to bat first. Yea started strongly with Ben Holman picking up a wicket in his first over and another in his second over to have Kilmore 2/9.

But Kilmore weren't going to go down that easy putting on a 70 run third wicket stand and had Yea needing a wicket.

Jack Christie again bowled well, as well as Patrick Evans but it was all Kilmore from then on with them batting out their 45 overs making a big 183.

Yea stared its innings on the back foot after losing Alan Pell early. Darcy Pell and Patrick Evans were going along nicely until Patrick tried to leave one and chopped it on.

Andrew Butterworth and Darcy tried to get the innings going along but it was all undone when Andrew was caught out.

Darcy batted absolutely amazing and tried to build partnerships but it was Kilmore's tight lines and fielding that had Yea in trouble from the outset.

Darcy was Yea’s last man out making a fantastic 60 runs as Yea were bowled out for 98.

On Saturday Yea travels to Seymour looking to get back on the winners’ list.

The Local Paper - Wednesday, November 23, 2016 - Page 23

Farm Houses of Australia is a premium boutique design and construction company, based on the Mornington Peninsula, and building anywhere in Victoria. We offer a bespoke, individual design and construction service where every element of your home is custom-designed to suit you and your land.

Whether your style is American, Attic, Beach, Colonial, Federation, Heritage, Ranch, Victorian or Classic Australiana, we ensure that each home built by Farm Houses of Australia is of an award winning standard.

This stunning and attractive home boasts all the external features one would expect in a traditional country dwelling. Finials and fenestrations adorn the dormers and gables, and timber balustrades with molded hand rail surround the Australian Iron bark decking and balconies. A 35 degree, high pitched roof gives the home stature and bearing, whilst the crisp color combination is both traditional and contemporary.

A replacement for a home lost in the Black Saturday bush fires, the owner’s desire was to create a special home with an exterior to harmonious with their rural property and an interior design which was functional, energy efficient and comfortable. This has been achieved by fitting the home with the highest quality fixtures, including a glass fire-box wood heater which is a feature of the down stairs living area. The Energy efficiency of this heating is enhanced by the exposed flue on the upper level which radiates warmth into the bedrooms upstairs. Solar hot water and northerly facing living rooms increase the passive solar functionality.

Spotted gum timber flooring downstairs is a feature of the home, as are the pitched and coffered ceilings to all upstairs rooms which create interesting ceiling planes and evoke the charm and ambiance of a by-gone era. “We found the team at Farmhouses of Australia to be helpful, thoughtful, and co-operative during all phases of design and construction.� - David and Teresa, 'Kinglake'

The quintessential Australian Farm House, the Ferny Hill Merricks flawlessly combines the best of the new with the most desirable aspects of the traditional. A ranch style home set in a rural landscape and surrounded by extensive decks and verandahs, it is the epitome of luxurious country living.

Designed for a young growing family, the needs of each member were incorporated into a house plan which functioned perfectly for the family 12 years ago, and continues to meet their needs today. With 5 bedrooms, and 4 separate living areas, the home is an entertainers dream. Each living area is cleverly situated to allow guests and family members to engage in separate activities yet remain connected, and areas not in use can be zoned off from the central living areas thus increasing energy efficiency.
