DIY events for Australia Day Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au A group of diehard Australia Day supporters in Mornington will hold their own celebration on Friday (26 January) at Memorial Park in Barkly Street. Their decision to hold a do-it-yourself celebration - including gumboot throwing - follows a decision by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council not to organise an event and community parade at Mornington. The shire’s decision is in line with
views expressed by the Premier Jacinta Allan who has cast doubts on Melbourne’s Australia Day parade ever making a return. The state government last year shelved the event for the third consecutive after it was first cancelled in 2021 because of COVID. On the peninsula the council is supporting the Rosebud Fun Run ($25,000) and Australia Day celebrations at Dromana ($25,000) and Mount Eliza ($13,000) and holding an invitation only citizenship ceremony at Rosebud Memorial Hall.
Other community-run events will be held around the shire, including at Sorrento and Portsea, with flag-raising ceremonies, music and children’s entertainment. The shire has not held an Australia Day event at Mornington since COVID restrictions started. An organiser of the Memorial Park picnic, Felicity Benson, said she and many others were disappointed the council had become too “woke” to celebrate Australia Day as in the past. “It’s really disappointing for a lot of us that this has been scaled back so
much and has become so small and politically correct. They are flying the LGBTQI flag, but what about the Australian flag?” she said. “This is Mornington and we’d love an Australia Day celebration for everyone, the way it should be.” Benson said the group held a similar picnic last year and invited others to join in. “Last year we had a lovely group of newcomers to the peninsula from India, and we all enjoyed a picnic together in Mornington to celebrate the day,” she said.
“This year everyone is welcome to bring a picnic and join us.” Benson said numbers at the picnic were limited to 50 due to council restrictions on public gatherings. “I rang the shire and they said that they are not putting anything on for Australia Day this year and that it is up to the community to do something, so that’s what we are doing,” she said. “We have no idea how many people would like to join in and bring their own picnic, but we’ll have children’s games, egg and spoon race, there will be free parking, and it will be fun.”

Fines find their mark at foreshore car parks MORNINGTON Peninsula Shire had by the end of last week collected $178,000 in fees from the three foreshore parking areas included in its summer paid parking trial that started on 1 December. Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors were told last week that fines of nearly $20,000 had been issued for infringements at the car parks at Flinders and Mornington piers and Sunnyside Beach, Mount Eliza. The $96 fines had been issued for each of 207 infringements. The summer trial is reported to have cost the shire $1 million. Peninsula residents can register up to five vehicles at one address to avoid being booked, although they must still obey parking times. The latest payment figures were $25,000 higher than those recorded in the previous week. The fines have been issued for parking without a ticket, 197; overstaying a time limit, 1; and no parking at a boat ramp, 9. Parking is free for peninsula residents who have an e-permit and $6.50 an hour for visitors or $19.50 a day at Sunnyside and Flinders. Peninsula residents can obtain a free e-permit from the shire’s website: mornpen.vic.gov.au/epermits The shire says it has received 12,760 applications for e-permits. To pay their parking fees visitors can download the PayStay Parking app and create an account; scanning

The shire says revenue from the fines “will be used to help maintain foreshore infrastructure across the peninsula while ensuring fairer access for everyone. Charging visitors to park “is an opportunity for residents and visitors to the peninsula to continue to share our beaches while more fairly distributing the costs of maintaining these areas”. “The pilot will enable us to test parking rules, trial latest technology and assess the flow on impacts. It will allow the collection of real-time data and valuable community feedback.” Keith Platt
Tragedy and records mark 38th classic swim THE largest number of competitors participated in the 38th running of the Portsea Swim Classic on Saturday. Tragically, Simon Weatherill, the 67-year-old former head of the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, died of a suspected heart attack while participating in the classic. Portsea Surf Life Saving Club president Matt Mahon said “thoughts and prayers” were with Weatherill’s family and friends. Tommy Lane, 18, of Brighton, took line honours in the 1.5km classic and 2.5km gold events.
Coming second and third in the 2.5km race were Sam Sheppard and Portsea life saver Logan Brandi. Four hours later Lane won the 1.5km race from Josh Doherty and Jorden Merrilees. “It was a nice strong current, which helped me to go very fast,” Lane said after the race. ‘’I wasn’t really sure where I was in the field, I just had to go for it.’’ Ultra marathon swimmer Brianna Snyders was first female home in 1.5km classic. The 25-year-old Rosebud occupational therapist was
followed in the sprint up the beach by Dominque Hart and Sofia Piaia. In the opening 2.5km gold event, Portsea lifesaver Mackie Hunter was the first female home, with 15-yearold schoolgirl Sophie Jacka second and Catie Boyle third. The point-to-point course, which started at The Cutting near Portsea pier, saw competitors swim across Weeroona Bay before heading west around Police Point, along the Point Nepean foreshore, to finish at Jarman Oval in Point Nepean National Park.

Pier’s the place for art appreciation ART on the Pier is coming to Rosebud on 1 February, with an exhibition of about 100 art and photographic works by artists across Australia. The works will be installed down the length of the pier, with Port Phillip as a backdrop. The outdoor exhibition will run for four months until 30 May. All works are produced on canvas and sandwiched between two clear sheets of polycarbonate to seal them against the elements, these will then be

locked to the railings of the pier. The concept of showing art on a pier was launched in late 2021 on the
Queenscliff pier, where an exhibition is now underway with around 150 works until late May. The exhibition attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year, with many returning for multiple viewings. Exhibition director Chris Macleod said he enjoyed spending hours onsite and listening to visitors’ positive comments on the variety of the art and the idea of a free outdoor gallery in great location. “I take considerable pride in what

we have achieved to date, the feedback from the participating artists and photographers has been exceptional, and I feel very grateful to be able to work with so many highly creative and talented people from across Australia,” he said. Macleod’s own background is in graphics and high end glossy magazines, starting with Harper’s Bazaar before launching his own bridal publications and later an international jewellery magazine.
“It is our aim for Art On The Pier to become an annual event, and based on the success we have achieved across the bay on the Queenscliff pier, we are confident that this unique and truly exciting exhibition can continue for many years to come,” he said. The Rosebud exhibition is still inviting artists to submit work. The Queenscliff exhibition has been rated as Australia’s biggest outdoor art and photography exhibition. Details: artonthepier.com.au
Road risks warning over Potter shows Liz Bell liz@mpnews.com.au RECENT accidents on the Nepean Highway intersections near The Briars at Mount Martha have raised new concerns about the risks of using the property as a venue for large events. Opponents of the Harry Potter - Forbidden Forest experience scheduled in April and May say access to The Briars is already difficult and have warned of traffic chaos if improvements are not made before the shows start. The Harry Potter event is expected to attract around 3000 visitors a night for at least two months. An accident at the intersection of Nepean Highway and Uralla Drive on 9 January and one at Hopetoun Avenue days later highlighted community concerns about the need for traffic flow improvements. The intersections are the responsibility of the state government – as is the intersection with Forest Drive, another accident hot spot. The federal government has committed part of the money for traffic lights at the Forest Drive intersection, with work expected to start within the next few months. Work on Uralla Drive is expected to follow 12
to 18 months after the Forest Drive upgrades. But local residents say the roads intersecting with Nepean Highway will still be dangerous with the traffic increases from the Harry Potter event. One resident said turning out of or into Nepean Highway near The Briars was already “a game of Russian roulette”. “Impatient drivers make silly manoeuvres and risk everyone’s lives trying to get in or out onto Nepean Highway, so it’s going to take a lot more than road widening,” he said. A spokesperson for the Department of Transport and Planning said it welcomes “community feedback about ways we can improve transport connections along the Nepean Highway at Mount Martha”. “We will work closely with Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forrest event organisers to ensure proper traffic management is in place.” He said the DOT will work closely with local councils and event organisers to ensure proper traffic management is in place during events. In the five years to June 2023, there had been no fatal crashes along Nepean Highway at the Forest Drive, Hopetoun Avenue and Uralla Drive intersections.

Works planned for racecourse MORNINGTON Racecourse is getting a facelift thanks to a financial partnership to add a new sand track, veterinary room with swab boxes and upgraded track lighting. The state government has committed $478,000 towards the works, with Racing Victoria contributing $373,645, and Melbourne Racing Club $104,800. The work is expected to improve safety for veterinary staff, trainers and horses, and will help meet the growing demand and better support
training activities. Eastern Victoria MP Tom McIntosh said the sand track will create 10 new local jobs during construction and help Melbourne Racing Club meet growing demand for training facilities at the racecourse. The additional track will help to reduce wear on existing tracks. Twenty-nine new LED lights will be installed to improve the track lighting during training. The new veterinary room and swab boxes are aimed at improving animal
welfare and providing safer working conditions for veterinary staff. McIntosh said up to 20 jobs will be created during construction. The Melbourne Racing Club conducts 18 race meetings and 45 trial meetings at Mornington Racecourse, with 55 trainers and 400 horses operating out of the venue. Hastings MP Paul Mercurio said the racecourse had been an integral part of the community and the upgrades would help it have “a long and prosperous future”.

A harmonious 50 years THE Mornington Peninsula-based Australian Welsh Male Choir is celebrating its 50th birthday. Since it began the choir has been overseas - to the United Kingdom seven times, including performances at the Royal Albert Hall, London, to China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. However, the choir is staying home for its 50th, with a concert at Frankston Arts Centre on Friday 1 March 1 and in September will tour outback pubs. “This is going to be an amazing year for our choir. For our 50th birthday concert we have invited guest artists from Wales and it's going to be a sellout performance,” choir president Ian Mackie said. “For our outback tour we have chartered two buses, and many people will
follow in caravans and motorhomes. It's an opportunity to take our famous Singing in the Pub events, which originated in Mornington, to every town and city we visit. It’s going to be a birthday we will never forget.” Towns and cities in the outback tour include Ballarat, Dimboola, Adelaide, Port Augusta, Coober Pedy, Broken Hill, Canberra and Sydney. The choir will also visit Uluru, to sing at the 10-day Desert Song Festival. Follow the choir at awmc.org.au or on Facebook.

Ferry terminal works about to get underway PRELIMINARY works to improve the Sorrento ferry terminal are expected to start within weeks. Searoad Ferries CEO Matt McDonald said “preliminary marine works will commence in late March or April with construction commencing the middle of the year, at this stage”. McDonald said further updates would be released “in the coming weeks”. The planned upgrades have drawn mixed reactions from the Sorrento community, with many on social media welcoming the refurbishment and others saying it will likely increase fares. Searoad Ferries has stated that the new terminal development would feature “modern facilities and stateof-the art amenities, including new passenger waiting areas, improved loading and uploading facilities”. The ferry travels from Sorrento to Queenscliff, where the terminal there

has been recognised as “on the world stage” after being upgraded last year. The Queenscliff terminal includes a modern cafe and lounge, retail area catering for local artists and makers, and refurbished waiting areas. In 2020 the state government gave $5 million towards the $22 million redevelopment of the Sorrento ferry precinct. Former Nepean MP Chris Brayne said at the time the finance for the redevelopment – part of a $40 million upgrade to the Queenscliff to Sorrento ferry service – included $16 million from Searoad Ferries and $1 million from Mornington Peninsula Shire. Half of the state government’s $5 million will go to Searoad Ferries for works in and around the terminal, including improving public amenities and access for visitors, and half to the shire for pedestrian and roadworks connecting it to Point Nepean Road. Work was supposed to start in 2021.

ea club and several of its members had tried to protect nesting plovers. “The talks are well received by the children, many of whom already know about the birds and responses are very positive. The next generation of birders,” Hansen said.

Careers began at film festival TEN years ago, Australian Academy of Cinema and Televised Arts-nominated cinematographer Anthony Littlechild met filmmaking students, Liam Kelly and Riley Sugars, at the Peninsula Film Festival workshop. Today, between them they have been nominated for two ARIA awards, two AACTAs and multiple international awards. Kelly is an awarded director known best as one of the creatives behind Tones and I’s music videos, including Dance Monkey and Fly Away. “The Peninsula Film Festival is the perfect bridge between a local festival
and one that’s also internationally recognised,” Kelly said. “It fosters up-and-coming talent and highlights the best of Australia’s filmmaking community. It showcases the best of the up-and-comers and those at the peak of their career as well.” This year Kelly and Littlechild will host the Sunday filmmaking workshop at the Rosebud Cinemas. “The Peninsula Festival is Australia’s largest outdoor film festival and it’s all about community,” Littlechild said. “Families just go with their picnic rugs and get a chance to see Austral-
ian cinematic history. In the festival line-up you’ll discover the next Nicole Kidman, Peter Weir, Baz Luhrmann or Fred Schepisi. “Someone who might be a ‘small time actor in a little Peninsula film’ will be the next trailblazer to make their mark.” Judges at this year’s festival include Lachy Hulme, Michala Banas and Sigrid Thornton. It will run from 2 to 4 February at the Village Green, Rosebud. Details: peninsulafilmfestival.com. au/

Surprises in rubbish at ‘clean’ beach A FIRST glance, some of those who volunteered for a beach clean at Flinders thought their efforts might not be needed. But, in line with what the effort’s organisers thought, the beach soon showed it had a flip side: among the 116 kilograms of rubbish collected were chairs, concrete blocks, star pickets, old machinery, fishing tackle and one surfboard. “What a day for a clean-up at Flinders. For a beach that several people thought was so clean,” Mary Iles, of Flinders Community Association, said. “The kids came to help, free beach hand bins got filled and the Sea Shepherd rubbish bags were groaning with rubbish. Iles said Sea Shepherd’s 11 person team 15 collated rubbish from the beach and car park while Ocean Divers’ team of 12 cleaned up under Flinders pier. The divers recovered broken squid jigs, smashed bottles and many metres of tangled fishing line. “By collecting all this we hopefully made sure our marine life is safer for another day,” Iles said. The day was also an opportunity for artist Liz Walker to coordinate a children’s art competition, musician Emmie Li Moylan to entertain, and coffee to be enjoyed from a Coffee Lux coffee cart along with sausages cooked by the Icebergers of Flinders, a team of swimmers who head off at dawn for their early morning swim.

A PRELIMINARY report into an accident between two jet trainer aircraft over Port Phillip, off the coast of Mount Martha, has noted the wings of the aircraft collided during a mid-air manouvre. On 19 November 2023, a pair of SIAI Marchetti S-211 aircraft were conducting an aerobatic formation filming flight when they came into contact, with one of the two aircraft then crashing into the water below, fatally injuring both occupants. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has released the preliminary report which provides factual information from the early evidence gathering phase of the “no blame” transport safety investigation, ATSB chief commissioner Angus Mitchell said. “It does not include any analysis or findings, which will be detailed in the final report we will release at the conclusion of the investigation,” he said. The preliminary report notes the S-211s, both former military aircraft used for pilot training, had left Essendon in what was designated ‘Viper formation’. Viper 1, the lead aircraft, was carrying a pilot and safety pilot, while Viper 2 was carrying a pilot and camera operator. “As discussed in the pre-flight briefing, the pilots’ first planned manoeuvre involved Viper 1 flying inverted, straight and level, so Viper 2 could move alongside it, upright, to then manoeuvre as required to maintain separation and conduct filming,” Mitchell said. During the second attempt at this manoeuvre, when Viper 1 rolled inverted, the pilot of Viper 2 passed below and to the left of Viper 1. “The safety pilot in Viper 1 observed Viper 2 pass beneath and alerted the pilot of Viper 1 to the manoeuvre,” Mitchell said. “Afterwards, the pilot of Viper 2 advised the
pilot of Viper 1 that it provided a good filming opportunity, and asked to repeat it.” After the pilots discussed this manoeuvre, they decided to attempt it again. “On this next attempt, after Viper 2 passed beneath, it began to pitch up and bank away from Viper 1, and the right wings of each aircraft collided,” Mitchell said. Video footage taken from fixed cameras on board Viper 1 showed that as the aircraft collided, the outer right wing structure of Viper 2 immediately failed, with deformation to the forward wing spar and separation of the lower wing skin. The right aileron control system also appeared to be significantly damaged. Witnesses observed Viper 2 hit the water in a near-vertical, nose down attitude. The aircraft was extensively damaged and came to rest on the floor of the bay at a depth of 24 metres. Viper 1 was able to return to Essendon, having sustained only minor damage. “Several impact marks and paint transfers from Viper 2 were present on the upper surface of Viper 1’s right wing, and its landing light cover was shattered,” Mitchell said. As the ATSB’s investigation progresses, it will include consideration of formation flying procedures and practices, further analysis of recorded video and audio, a review of the category of operation, and a range of other investigative activities. “A final report will be released at the conclusion of the investigation, but if we identify a critical safety issue during the course of the investigation, we will immediately notify relevant parties so appropriate and timely safety action can be taken.” Family and friends of the deceased pilot Stephen Gale and James Rose, a skilled cameraman, have been remembered as respected and well liked in their fields.

TWO teenagers have been arrested after a group of three were involved in an incident at Mornington Pier last on Sunday 14 January, where an elderly man was allegedly pushed into the water. A 17-year-old, from Hastings, was arrested on Wednesday and a 14-year-old, from Stony Point, allegedly already on bail, was charged earlier in the week with reckless endangerment and unlawful assault. It has been reported the 14-year-old was allegedly involved in an attack on a woman in Hastings last November and was charged and bailed. The group had allegedly filmed the act and could be heard laughing and egging each other on in an online video. The three are believed to be from the Hastings and Somerville areas and have been named on social media. The 79-year-old man, said to be still shaken by the experience, cannot swim and had to be pulled from the water by onlookers. Mornington MP Chris Crewther said more resources were needed for “proactive” policing.
All aboard for safety FRANKSTON railway station was targeted dur-
ing a three-day police operation. Between 9 and 11 January, police dedicated more resources to Frankston, Lilydale, and Werribee train stations. They made seven arrests over the three days - a 35-year-old Frankston man was arrested for breaching an intervention order, and a 25-year-old Frankston North woman was arrested for theft. The other arrests were a 26-year-old Knoxfield woman for breaching an intervention order, a 35-year-old Woori Yallock man for three outstanding warrants, a 33-year-old Benalla woman for theft, a 29-year-old Point Cook man for an outstanding whereabouts and theft, and a 41-yearold Newcomb man for two outstanding warrants. Victoria Police transit safety division senior sergeant Anthony Murphy said “this highly visible operation was about boosting safety in and around several of our major public transport hubs – including Frankston railway station – and sending a clear message that crime will not be tolerated.” “Our top priority is keeping the community safe so we will continue to run targeted operations like this to detect and deter offending,” he said.
RSPCA offers free pet checks and advice Wet weather RSPCA Victoria’s first Healthy Pet Day event on the Mornington Peninsula is on Wednesday 31 January in Crib Point, with RSPCA experts providing free check-ups, dog vaccines, pet food, and advice on pet behaviours. RSPCA Victoria community outreach manager Dr Lauren Roberts said Healthy Pet Days were a great way to provide pets with health checks. “Our expert animal care team provides pet check-ups, dog vaccines, microchipping, flea and worm prevention treatment, behavioural advice, resources and pet food,” she said. “We want to keep our pets happy and healthy for years to come, and local pet owners will have access to expert advice and the best possible service thanks to our friendly vets, vet nurses and animal behaviourists.” RSPCA Victoria head of prevention Rebecca Cook said the day was aimed at supporting “positive pet ownership and strengthening bonds between families and their pets”. “We believe in working together with Victoria’s communities, because we know it’s not always just about your pets, it’s about you too.” Pet food company Royal Canin will provide pet food for some residents. For more information or to book a pet's appointment, visit: rspcavic.org/healthypet/ To access the free Healthy Pet Day services, attendees must be 18 years old or over, have a valid concession or health care card, and have proof of address in Mornington Peninsula Shire.
Buruli alert
RESIDENTS of coastal areas are being encouraged to take precautions against mosquito bites and Buruli ulcers over summer. Acting Health Minister Ingrid Stitt said 363 cases had been reported in 2023, the highest number since the infection emerged in Victoria in 2004. Buruli ulcer is a bacterial infection linked to mosquitos that can cause significant skin damage. The condition can be treated with antibiotics, making early diagnosis and treatment vital. Symptoms for the infection include spots that look like insect bites, ulcers, painful lumps, limb swelling, redness of the skin and is sometimes accompanied by severe pain and fever. State government-listed steps to reduce the risk of contracting Buruli ulcer, include: Covering up by wearing long, loose fitting clothing as mosquitos can bite through tight clothing. Using insect repellents containing picaridin or DEET on all exposed skin. Checking the repellent label before applying to children – spraying or rubbing repellent on children’s clothes is recommended, avoiding their skin, especially their hands. Removing stagnant water where mosquitoes can breed around the home or a campsite. Fitting windows fitted with mosquito netting or screens. Promptly washing and dressing any new scratches or cuts. Washing exposed skin contaminated by soil or water after outdoor activities The government has allocated $1.1 million for the Beating Buruli project which aims to better understand how Buruli ulcer is transmitted and to determine additional effective ways to prevent and reduce infection.

All cats attending must be in a carry cage and dogs must be on a lead. Due to the national cat vaccine shortage, cat vaccines are not available at the event and every animal requires an appointment. Services at this event will not be provided to breeders or litter rearers. The RSPCA will be at Crib Point Community House in Park Road, from 1pm to 3pm.

Would you like to avoid the cost and potential stress of holding a traditional funeral, yet still say a dignified good-bye and celebrate the life of a loved one with a simple yet fitting ceremony? A Small Family Farewell with Mornington Peninsula Funerals gives immediate family members the opportunity to pay respects with as much, or little, ceremony as appropriate – by gathering together in our viewing room or chapel to: • spend time with a loved one, • place sentimental items in the coffin, • reflect on a life lived – with music, pictures and stories, then • provide a dignified send off for a family member by following our hearse for a final good-bye within the grounds of Bunurong Memorial Park.
Includes all the care, respect and attention of a large formal funeral – in most cases for less than $5000*

The changing face of funerals FOUR months after McCrae residents Julie Davey and Andrew Ternes launched their bespoke funeral home, Covid 19 struck. Not only did it rob families of their loved ones, it also robbed many of the chance to say ‘Good-bye’. For a long time, Covid changed the way that funerals could be conducted. That change is enduring; with a growing trend nowadays for families to forgo a traditional funeral and choose Direct Cremation for their loved one. While this option has financial benefits, the emotional cost can be high. Mornington Peninsula Funerals Managing Director, Andrew Ternes recalls, “We started hearing stories from bereaved people who’d missed the chance to farewell their loved one; they felt uneasy and struggled to move on with their lives. “This led us to create a popular compromise between a regular ‘No-Service’ and the traditional ‘Full Service’ funeral experience. We established a small chapel area within our
premises, where close family members spend private time with their loved one, with an open or closed coffin, then follow in a cortege to the crematorium if appropriate. With this fresh, creative, unique and far more affordable approach; Mornington Peninsula Funerals ‘Small Family Farewell’ option is meeting the changing needs of our grateful community. While still conducting conventional funerals at various locations around the peninsula, Julie says that the comfort their Small Family Farewells have brought to many families can be just as heart-warming. So, for those who say; ‘I don’t want a funeral, take me straight to the crematorium in a cardboard box’ ... it’s worth considering your family and friends who are left behind and need the opportunity to say good-bye and grieve for you. It doesn’t have to cost a bomb – even a small gathering at this local funeral home can help with healing.

Gambling report to be ‘considered’ - PM Brodie Cowburn brodie@mpnews.com.au THE federal government will “consider” the recommendations of a gambling inquiry chaired by former Dunkley MP Peta Murphy, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says. The inquiry into online gambling harm chaired by Murphy published its final report in June 2023. Seven months on, the federal government has not committed to implementing all of its 31 recommendations. Murphy died in December last year. Last week the Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters in Frankston that the government would consider the recommendations, but did not commit to taking action on all of them. “The federal government commits to considering all of the recommendations that are in the report, which is what we do. We give consideration to that - we know that gambling has a real impact on people in this area and right around. You need to make sure that governments are cognisant of that, but I do pay tribute to the work that Peta Murphy did as chair of that committee,” Albanese said. “[Murphy] was concerned about the law, about health, about education, about gambling, about cost of living issues in this community.” The 31 recommendations contained in the final You win some you lose more report included a ban on online gambling advertising, stronger consumer protections for licensed online gambling, a crackdown on illegal
PETA Murphy announcing the release of the online gambling inquiry’s report last year. Picture: Supplied gambling websites, and a legislated duty of care. After the report’s release Murphy said “gambling advertising and simulated gambling through video games was grooming children and young people to gamble and encouraged riskier behaviour. “The torrent of advertising is inescapable. It is manipulating an impressionable and vulnerable audience to gamble online,” she said. “A phased, comprehensive ban on online gambling advertising is recommended within three years. This will
give major sports and broadcasters time to find alternative advertisers and sponsors, while preventing another generation from experiencing escalating gambling harm.” Online gambling statistics are not as readily available as other forms of gambling. The Victorian Gambling and Casino Control Commission tracks losses on poker machines in each local government area, but not online gambling losses. Victorian gamblers lost $2.58 billion on sports and race betting in
2021/2022, according to State Revenue Office data. An article on the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare website stated that online gambling is on the rise. “In 2011 and 2019, national telephone surveys were conducted to estimate the prevalence of online and land-based modes of gambling in Australia. The research found overall gambling participation, online and land-based modes combined, decreased from 64.3 percent in 2010–11 to 56.9 percent in 2019,” the article stated. “This was mostly attributable to a decline in land-based gambling during that time, while online gambling increased by 9.4 percent. In 2019 the most common online products that money was spent on were lotteries, race betting and sports betting. “In 2022 [research] participants described a range of emerging trends in gambling that they had observed, including an increase in exposure to gambling marketing - including advertising (for example, television, social media), promotions and incentives (for example, multi-bets, bonus bets, cash back offers, bet with mates), and sponsorships (for example, promotion of sports by celebrities or athletes) - an increase in online gambling, and concern about the potential harms due to factors such as the widespread availability and ease of access.” In December, the federal government passed legislation to restrict gamblers from using credit cards and digital currency to gamble online.
By-election to be held in March THE Dunkley by-election will be held on Saturday 2 March. The death of Peta Murphy last December left the seat of Dunkley vacant.Nominations close on 8 February. Labor holds Dunkley with a 6.3 percent margin in the electorate that covers Frankston, Mount Eliza, Langwarrin, Skye, Carrum Downs, and Seaford. Earlier this month, the Labor and Liberal parties each preselected candidates for the by-election. Labor has picked Women’s Spirit Project founder Jodie Belyea while Frankston mayor Nathan Conroy will run for the Liberals. The Libertarian Party, formerly the Liberal Democrats, will contest the seat with Chrysten Abraham as the party’s candidate. Abraham, who ran for the seat of Frankston at the 2022 state election, said she would “stand against tax increases and government interference in how we live our lives. Failed government policies are destroying our nation. I’m committed to repairing the economy and restoring power from the government to the people of Dunkley and Australia”. Darren Bergwerf - an anti-vax, sovereign citizen conspiracy theorist who founded the My Place fringe group - has told supporters on Facebook that he is considering another tilt for Dunkley following his failed attempt in 2022.

Westernport Whisky is here WHEN two mates were sitting around a campfire back in 2018, their dream of crafting their own whisky was made into a reality. Joining a whisky making course in Tasmania gave David and Scott the knowledge needed to start their venture and after a seven year journey, Westernport Single Malt Whisky was born. Crafted in Blind Bight on the shores of Western Port Bay, the small batch craft distillery offers an amazing whisky, infused with a unique Australian coastal flavour profile. Wanting to be different from other whisky makers, they decided that antique barrels were required. They have sourced barrels that have matured fortified wines from 20 to 70 years. Combining almost 100% Australian ingredients, mixed with some of the best water in the world from the Thompson Reservoir, their whisky production commenced. David and Scott see the full whisky making process from start to finish. They brew, distil, maturate, re-cooper and bottle the product themselves. They even put the labels on the bottles and hand stamp the bottle stoppers. They truly are a jack of all trades in the whisky making process. The range of Westernport Whisky comes in a variety of flavours from different barrels, including Muscat Cask, Port Cask and Sherry Cask. Plus for lovers of gin, they offer two varieties – Chicory Lane Gin and Gentle Annie Gin.
In our distillery, a meticulous process unfolds – the art of barrel recoopering. With passion and precision, we breathe new life into every barrel,ensuring that the spirits we create are nothing short of exceptional. Westernport Distillery – where dreams come to life, and every bottle tells a tale.
A terrific option is the gift pack. This has all 3 whisky flavours in 200ml bottles, which are also perfect for sampling before buying a 700ml bottle. Learn more about Westernport Whisky on their website www.westernport.au where you can order that special sip online.

WHAT'S NEW...
Rosebud blossoms with pro golf event JAMES Marchesani’s association with Rosebud Country Club can be traced back nearly 25 years. When the Marchesani family relocated to the Mornington Peninsula when father Frank’s AFL career came to a close, they made Rosebud their home golf course. More than 20 years after attending his first junior clinics under the watchful eye of Betty Head on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, James has witnessed how Rosebud has transformed from a quiet country club, to now hosting the Webex Players Series Victoria tournament on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia. First staged in 2021, the Webex Players Series Victoria brings the best men and women golfers to the Peninsula and, for the second straight year, will be held over the Australia Day long weekend. Starting on Thursday, January 25, Webex Players Series Victoria will once again showcase Rosebud’s North Course and everything the Peninsula has to offer. From award-winning wineries, to some of the state’s hottest coastal locations, the Peninsula has something for everyone. For Marchesani, being the host course of a major golf tournament has re-established Rosebud Country Club as a must-play destination. “It just clicked over 23 years of being a member at Rosebud, which is a bit scary to think,” Marchesani said.
“Hosting the tournament has certainly put the golf club back on the map, because we got a bit lost there for a while. “The then manager of the golf club, Danny McGrath, he knew what hosting this tournament would
do for the club. Getting on Fox Sports for a start and making it that must-play destination again. “The work that Course Superintendent Ian Todd, Damien Winsor and the ground staff have done the past five or six years too has gone in
hand with that. “The course has gone to another level and it’s now a golf club that people want to come and play again.” Hosting a tournament also gives Marchesani the rare chance to sleep

in his own bed during tournament week and generate plenty of homeclub support. Leading going into the final round last year, the now 33-year-old had a host of familiar faces following his every move, an experience he treasures despite finishing second by a shot to Korea’s Min A Yoon. “I obviously got very, very close last year and played some unreal golf but it’s nice to know that there’s one stop of the year that you know like the back of your hand,” he added. “It’s a good feeling as well to play at home in front of friends and family. They can see what you do every other week on the road. That’s fun too. “You know where everyone’s standing, who everyone is, you know where everyone is at all times and you’re out there trying to hit the best shots you can. “As disappointing as last year was, it was fun to be able to play in front of that sort of crowd and know that everyone’s pulling for you to do well. “It spurs you along that little bit extra too.” The Webex Players Series Victoria will be staged at Rosebud Country Club from January 25-28. Entry is free for spectators all four days. Catch all the weekend action LIVE on Fox Sports, available on Foxtel and Kayo.

Nature seen as a mere asset to be plundered The spectre of the Harry Potter experience being held in the sanctuary at The Briars, Mount Martha for several months has many questioning the genuine commitment of Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to its documented standards of transparency in governance, due diligence in decision making, and its actual care for our precious and delicate ecological systems. Highly credentialed and professional people with very deep ties to the community have consequently rallied together to protect the community’s sanctuary at The Briars, bringing to the cause their considerable resources – personal and professional networks, expertise, fervour and a sense of disbelief and indignation. This matter has highlighted a divide in values. Decades of school children, volunteers and staff have worked to nurture this conservation area. This ecological system is home to a diversity of species, which until now have been safe at home in their environs. The community believed it to be sacred. A sanctuary is a place where those inside are protected from harm. A sanctuary is a place where no risk is knowingly or carelessly imposed. A sanctuary is a place where no action is taken that may deliver unintended adverse consequences. Our wildlife sanctuary has been violated by this contract between the council and unknown parties; for transparency died with non-disclosure agreements and employee silencing, and nature has been viewed as a mere asset to be plundered. This is a case study in modern day foreign extractivism and corporate externalities, of a mismatch between the interests of commercial entities and the interests of the shire’s stakeholders. Violated, too, is the community’s belief that decision makers understand and value priorities we hold dear: community, history, transparency, dialogue, a belonging to place and the sanctity of these values. Lea Care, Mount Martha
Sanctuary under threat I write as a resident of 20 years previously living at Mount Martha and Mornington and as a dedicated (Essential Services) Wildlife Victoria volunteer, as I am deeply troubled by the potential impact of the proposed Harry Potter Warner Brothers Discovery and Fever event at The Briars wildlife sanctuary from April to July. Despite my commitment, as a Wildlife Victoria volunteer, I lack jurisdiction to directly assist the Australian marsupials and birdlife affected. The Briars sanctuary, cherished for its unique biodiversity and vital role in wildlife conservation, is now under threat. The prospect of loud noises and flashing lights poses serious risks to the sanctuary’s delicate ecosystem. As someone who has witnessed firsthand the resilience and vulnerability of our native wildlife, I am compelled to raise awareness about the potential impending dangers. My concern extends beyond the environmental implications. The Briars sanctuary has been a refuge for wildlife, a place where Australian marsupials, including kangaroos and wallabies, thrive undisturbed. It is alarming to note that these mammals, when scared, tend to run, and jump fencing, risking getting their paws entangled. This poses an added layer of danger that could have severe consequences. While I acknowledge the desire for community events, it is imperative to choose venues that do not compromise the welfare of our precious birdlife and wildlife. The relocation of the Harry Potter event to a more suitable venue is paramount to ensure the continued protection of The Briars wildlife sanctuary; where my child attended with other students learning of the unique wildlife and birdlife as this continues still with local schools. Rosemary Race, Moe
Protect wildlife When every effort should be made to protect our precious wildlife and the remnants of bushland they call home, when nature should be celebrated for its intrinsic value and not used as a theme park for human entertainment, our councillors deem it appropriate to hold this event in the

area their own website describes as “a sensitive natural environment”. Did the environment become less sensitive when the waft of money drifted across the council chambers? And what is this lack of transparency and the signing of non-disclosure agreements? Is this Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets or Harry Potter and the Chamber of Commerce? How appalling. Poor form Mornington Peninsula Shire Council, very poor form. Contract or not, this event must not go ahead. Karen Wootton, Blairgowrie
Credibility lost Mornington Peninsula Shire Council is out of its depth, financially aligning itself with the Harry Potter show in a top secret deal. This decision is at odds with council’s own policy of transparency. Council spent a decade setting up the wildlife sanctuary at The Briars with help from nowdisillusioned volunteers. Until now, small quiet groups equipped with red cellophane covering their torches, led by experienced rangers could walk after dark through bush paths to view the wildlife, some endangered. Council anticipates 3000 people for more than two months will nightly traipse through enlarged paths to experience Potter antics such as cars in trees, light shows, and huge scary plastic creatures all fired by generators. Equipment to be housed in 17 sheds will be dotted around the sanctuary. Potter character Nearly Headless Nick says it all: “Once again (council) you show all the sensitivity of a blunt axe.” The amount of money council has spent on this event is secret. This is the culture of the council. No planning permits were required. I can’t imagine anyone in council who is streetwise enough to negotiate with Warner Brothers or Fever. Are we allowed to know who did? The change.org petition to relocate the event currently exceeds 18,000 signatures. I love Harry Potter, but a home invasion of this important wildlife sanctuary when so many other options exist on the property makes no sense. Harry Potter fan clubs are getting the word out. Kids love wildlife and will not buy tickets if they know animals will be hurt. We can’t let The Briars be forever remembered as the place where greed won over the pain inflicted on wildlife, stuck, frightened and fearful in a fenced sanctuary. The only way for council to regain any credibility is to relocate the event. Ann Scally, Mount Martha
Australia Day lost Last year I was advised by Mornington Peninsula Shire Council that it would not communicate with me again and I should take any grievances to the Ombudsman. I had asked when it would take down the Pride flag, which was never answered. As we approach Australia Day I asked the council about celebrations organised in Mornington Park and when the flag raising was scheduled. I suspect most ratepayers will be astounded to hear that council no longer organises any events such as the Australia Day celebrations we enjoyed in the past. Who can forget the Australia Day picnics in the park, the proud flag raising ceremony accompanied by a band, supported by all types of people who are the fabric of a proud Australian community? Our council has outsourced these events to us, the ratepayers. That means, if you want to organise a celebration for Australia Day for a group of people, with food vans, games and a band you must obtain a council permit and pay an exorbitant fee for something that was previously part of the council’s role. Not only has council failed in its service to the community but it has restricted access to public parks and demands a fee for doing so. When were ratepayers consulted or informed of this change in procedure? So now we have a seriously ridiculous situation where a Pride flag is flown indefinitely, and the council will not raise an Australian flag in
our public park to acknowledge Australia Day. It appears gouging more money out of the community is the only purpose of our council, with no accountability or intention of supporting the community. Or perhaps it’s more important to follow the state government’s woke agenda and unelected World Economic Forum. Ellen Bigelow, Blairgowrie Editor: Mornington Peninsula Shire had paid for Australia Day events at Dromana, Mount Eliza, and Rosebud. n Dromana Pier, 8.30am to 1.30pm with a flag raising ceremony at 11am. n Mount Eliza Village Green, 9am to 12.30pm “fun filled family day”, 10am flag raising. n Rosebud: The annual Australia Day fun run and festival will start at Rosebud Village Green, 9am to 3pm, with an invitation only citizenship ceremony being held at Rosebud Memorial Hall at 2.30pm.

Celebrate survival Australians remember Captain Cook, the Endeavour, and the flag planting. But are we guilty of selective memory? Do we fail to remember the impact of white settlement on the original occupants of the land, including here on the Mornington Peninsula? Huge tracts of land were taken from the 1830s onwards, without any compensation to the Bunurong/Boon Wurrung people living here. The sheep and cattle of the settlers ate the roots and grasses that had fed the kangaroos and emus. thus destroying much of the Aboriginal people’s means of subsistence. Access to staple diet plants and water was fenced off. Bunurong/Boon Wurrung women were cruelly abducted from their people at Point Nepean and dragged to the Furneaux Islands where they were used by sealers for their own ends. Men, women, children, the old, and the infirm were herded off the land. Starvation combined with white diseases to decimate the population: by 1857 the numbers of Boon Wurrung and Woi Wurrung had fallen from an estimated 350 people to 28, with only 11 Boon Wurrung remaining, according to the Aboriginal protectorate official at the time, William Thomas. Yet it is a testament to First Nations people’s spirit and resilience that they have continued to survive and contribute to the fabric of the nation. That’s certainly something worth honouring on 26 January. Maureen Donelly, Mornington
Environment first The announcement by the federal government that the wind turbine industry at Hastings has been defeated for environmental reasons is long overdue. Destruction of wildlife habitat from dredging has been blindingly obvious since the 1960s when the Port of Hastings began. Sixty years later our government has seen the light: no more shipping port industry in Western Port. In memory of many outstanding people since the 1960s who foresaw environmental destruction from industry (my father Brian Cuming’s ashes are swirling around the bay) this is final vindication of their vision, intelligence, advocacy and compassion for the future. Today many of us feel an overwhelming sense of relief and joy that the truth about Western Port has been revealed to the world. It is now time for our governments to embrace this new reality and see the bay as an environmental asset with economic tourism and social recreation potential, as well as acknowledging its global significance. Richard Cuming, Bittern
‘Dirty’ hydrogen Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek rejected the wind farm terminal in the Port of Hastings due to unacceptable environmental impacts. Yet the Victorian Government is powering ahead with the hydrogen energy supply chain (HESC), a massive new fossil fuel project that will have a devastating impact on Western Port, including areas protected by the Ramsar convention. This project is flying under the radar, yet the federal and Victorian governments – together with Japanese partners - invested $496 million for a pilot study. There is now pressure on the Victorian govern-
ment to approve full scale production. If this project proceeds, it will create around three million tonnes of new CO2 equivalent emissions a year. The project is pinning its hopes on carbon capture and storage technology to miraculously turn dirty brown hydrogen into a “clean energy source”. How on earth can Victoria meet its emissions targets reductions of 75-80 per cent by 2035 and net zero by 2045 if this project is allowed to proceed? Sarah Russell, Mount Martha
Limit climate damage To anyone who has been paying attention, the threat of rising sea levels to coastal areas is a very real issue (Sea level threat to coastal living, The News 16/1/24). Evidence of polar ice caps melting is being reinforced at depressingly regular intervals. Furthermore, the consequences of a warming ocean are manifold. Aside from the damage to marine environments other physical consequences will exacerbate the effects of warming. The oceans, as they warm, will expand and that will cause sea level rises regardless of any polar melts. Secondly as the oceans warm they will start releasing the vast quantities of dissolved carbon dioxide stored in them, further compounding the carbon dioxide levels already damaging the atmosphere. Perhaps it is already too late to stop the oceans rising, but a sensible climate policy may at least limit the damage. Ross Hudson, Mount Martha
Legal costs Mornington Peninsula Shire’s legal fees of $3,37 million over two years make it a contender for one of the top spots among Victorian municipalities. The shire must have lots of legal problems to spend this much. It would be a good place to start cutting some costs to offset rate capping. This is a reply I received from one councillor: “You take up a disproportionate amount of my inbox, so perhaps before sending these emails, you could do some basic research. Absolute ($ [dollar] amounts) legal spending figures tell us very little. These should be looked at in the context of # [the number of] planning applications, population, and total budget. What is the point of having us compared with the Borough of Queenscliffe purely based on a $ [dollar] amount – it’s a lazy, unsophisticated, and useless comparison.” I then asked the councillors to provide me with the facts, and I’m still waiting. Try finding the information on the council website. Of course, there is always FOI which you will be charged a fair amount to get the information unless it is “confidential”. I am guessing that the councillors do not know either, which is a shame. Soon the council will be going to the Essential Services Commission for a 25 rate rate variance. My guess is that 45 per cent of the legal costs are to get sycophantic legalese from sycophantic legals to ensure that the councillors are directed by officers. I have been checking the much heralded Frankston transparency hub but cannot find the information for Frankston either. Just some great propaganda stories like the council wants to publish and where to find a toilet or barbecue. It’s basically a redesigned council website repurposed to give the illusion of transparency. Joe Lenzo, Safety Beach
Corporate speak What’s in a name?. This question, partly articulated by Shakespeare, still holds true today, especially for some of the world’s largest corporations. For example, we have the Las Vegas casino titan, the iron ore heavyweight BHP, the assumed corporate titan Richard Goyder, the retailing behemoth Wesfarmers, the gas giant Woodside, the consultation giant KPMG, the global media giant Netflix, the Deloitte consulting giant (another one with PWC), the banking giant CBA, the DIY giant Bunnings, the banking oligopoly ANZ vs Suncorp, the global juggernaut Andrew Forrest, who built his empire from nothing, the Commonwealth-owned behemoth Australia Post, the Victoria monolith State Library, and the giant La Trobe reading room - the palace of knowledge. Let’s not forget Target, which plays second fiddle to its superstar, Kmart. We pause and wait for the next line of defence, expecting exaggerated and hyperbolic statements. Anne Kruger, Rye
100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Frankston secures high school Compiled by Cameron McCullough FRANKSTON is to have its High School after waiting patiently for a number of years. Sir Alexander Peacock, in granting the request, stressed the point that the school was not for Frankston alone. Specifications for the new building would be prepared at once. He hoped to have the pleasure of laying the foundation stone. Yesterday, according to promise, Sir Alexander Peacock, Minister for Education, visited Frankston, for the purpose of inspecting the site for a High School. *** Bravery to be Recognised A proposal to make the heroes of the recent gallant rescues Life Members of the Frankston Life Saving Club; and another to have an entertainment in order to accumulate funds, were two sound resolutions agreed to at meeting convened by Cr. Mason on Monday night. The meeting convened by Cr. W. Mason to initiate a movement to recognise the bravery of the three lads – Bryan Lane, Colin Robinson, and Ray Coxall – the first two, in rescuing a young girl who had got into difficulties, and the latter for jumping off the pier to aid an apparently drowning man, certainly made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers. There was only a moderate attendance, owing to two other functions being held at the same time. Cr. Mason, being voted to the chair
explained the objects of the meeting. After some discussion as to what would be best to be done, Cr. Gray moved that this public meeting forward a recommendation to the Royal Humane Society that the action of the lads, Bryan Lane, Colin Robinson, and Ray Coxall, should receive due recognition of their brave action. Seconded by Cr. W. Mason, and carried. Messrs. W. C. Young and R. Royle moved “That a subscription list be opened, and the public be invited to contribute, a small committee to then decide what form the presentation should take.” Carried unanimously. Some discussion having taken place on the question of making the boys honorary life members of the Life Saving Association, Mr. W. Russell moved, and Mr. W. C. Young seconded “That it be explained to the public through the press that the desire of the meeting was to present each lad with a gold medal, and also – if possible – to make them honorary life members of the Life Saving Association. This was also carried unanimously. Mr. Lovett moved “That the lists be kept open for three weeks from date.” Seconded by Mrs. L. Evans and carried. Messrs. Young and Lovett then moved “That all present form themselves into a committee, that Cr. W. Mason be chairman and treasurer, and Cr. C. Gray be secretary of the fund.” – Carried.
Cr. W. Armstrong sent an apology for his absence, and notified he would help financially any movement which was initiated. Mr. W. Lind, who was present, started the fund with donation, of £1/1/-. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. During the evening, Mrs. Morgan, the mother of the young girl rescued, said if an entertainment were run she would be pleased to provide a number of artists for same. Those present thought the idea an excellent one, and suggested having an entertainment on a date to be fixed, in aid of the Life Saving Association, when the proposed presentations can be made. *** Re Opening Up of Yuille Street Some time ago it was suggested at the Shire Council meeting by Councillor Gray that steps should be taken to ascertain what land would be required to make a connection between Kars Street and Humphries Road, so that in the event of a land slide occurring on the Point Nepean Road there would always be a road open to traffic, pending repairs, &c. Since then much thought has been given to this question by residents of Mount Eliza, who, whilst agreeing that the idea is good think that if the Council could see their way clear to take up the question of clearing and forming Yuille Street, and connecting it with Humphries. Road, much more good would accrue, as a far
larger number of landholders would be served than would be by the present suggestion. We understand that a number of these ratepayers are proposing to meet together, with a view of promulgating some scheme which they propose to place before the Council at an early date with the hope of some action being taken in this direction. They point out that if their suggestion is adopted, the land adjacent will become so much enhanced in value, that the return in extra rates from same will make an excellent return to the Council for the outlay. Meanwhile it is awaited with interest to see what action is proposed or what scheme is propounded in this direction. *** THE passing of Mr. John Mills, removes an old Frankston identity, who was also widely known throughout the Peninsula. His death took place at the Alfred Hospital on Monday last, following an operation for cancer. The funeral takes place today. In his youthful days Jack Mills was a prominent footballer and cricketer, and Messrs. Hugh Cameron, Bert Shannon, and others have many tales to unfold relating to Jack’s prowess in the field of sport. Even in later years Mr. Mills maintained a keen interest in all forms of manly sport, and rarely missed a football match. During the last few months Mr.
Mills was in the employ of Mrs. Hunt, of the Tanti Hotel, by whom he was held in high esteem. Deceased leaves widow and two children to mourn their loss. The son, Mr. Jack Mills, is a resident of Frankston. *** Letter to the Editor Sir, I was a newcomer in Hastings when the controversy re wandering stock was raging, and I was quite in accord with the by-law the Council passed on the question. It was that each householder be allowed to run one milking cow on the roads during the day time, but that no dry cows or young stock be allowed to run at large at any time, and that all cattle be kept off the roads during the night time. Last Sunday night at 9pm I had a very difficult job in steering my car through the cattle and horses running on the main road through the township. I counted 17 head of cattle, and 5 horses between the railway crossing and the bridge. With the number of cars on the road now the danger of an accident is very great. The by-law should either be strictly enforced or the ratepayers relieved of paying a herdsman for work he does not attempt to do. Yours, &c., CAR DRIVER. *** From the pages of the Frankston and Somerville Standard, 23 & 25 Jan 1924

BRINGING SUNSHINE STEP into a world of vibrant storytelling as ‘The Sunshine Club’ takes centre stage at the Frankston Arts Centre on Tuesday, March 5. Heralded as a “brilliant new landmark in Australian musicals” by The Australian, this energetic and engaging musical play is a creation of Wesley Enoch AM, an acclaimed Noonuccal Nuugi man and a driving force in Australian Theatre. Set against the backdrop of post-World War II Brisbane, the play unfolds the story of Frank Doyle, an Aboriginal serviceman returning home. Despite the changes in the wider world, he discovers that attitudes in Brisbane remain unchanged. Fuelled by a defiant energy and a dream for a better life, Frank establishes The Sunshine Club—a place where people of all backgrounds can come together and dance. At its core, the play explores themes of unity and the desire for a shared future. Featuring 28 songs composed by the esteemed John Rodgers, the musical spans
various styles, creating a rich and diverse auditory experience. The talented cast of 11, including emerging and established First Nations artists, along with a 5-piece live band, ensures an immersive and unforgettable performance. As Australia continues to navigate conversations on Indigenous Affairs, ‘The Sunshine Club’ becomes a timely and thoughtprovoking production. Reviews describe the play as “an unashamedly feel-good musical” (The Australian) and note the “openness and joy radiating from The Sunshine Club” (Sydney Morning Herald). Don’t miss this awardwinning production—a celebration of joy, unity, and the transformative power of music and dance. Join us for a night of entertainment that transcends boundaries and sparks meaningful conversations. Visit thefac.com.au or phone 9784 1060 to book your tickets.

A BRILLIANT bowling performance has secured Sorrento a good win over Old Peninsula. On day one Sorrento scored 140 before being bowled out, giving the Pirates an attainable target to chase. Outside of first drop batter Tom La Brooy, Old Peninsula struggled on day two on Saturday. La Brooy scored 48 runs, which was his side’s lone double-figure score. Jake Wood and Charlie Wigg ran riot at Peninsula Grammar Oval. Wood bowled 20 overs, taking 5/45, and Wigg took 4/12 from eight overs. Old Peninsula was bowled out for 91. Baden Powell chased down Long Island's total of 123 without too much trouble on Saturday. They wrapped up victory with seven wickets to spare. Heatherhill was bowled out for 85 by Red Hill last weekend, dooming them to a comfortable defeat. Pines were dominant winners over Langwarrin away from home.
WOMENS
DELACOMBE Park held on to beat Flinders in an exciting one-day matchup last Sunday. Delacombe Park was sent in to bat first, and played well. Knocks of 20 each from Trish Hawkins and Melissa Newham helped them to a final total of 104 from their 30 overs. Flinders worked hard in reply, but time ended up working against them. A string of run outs ended up ending their innings at 87 runs, 18 runs short of victory. Rye’s total of 139 was enough to beat Crib Point at RJ Rowley Reserve last weekend. Selena Prescott top scored for Rye with 32 runs. Jemma Reynolds starred for Balnarring in their match against Seaford Ti-
match-winning innings. Crib Point surpassed their target after 75 overs with only two wickets left to spare. An unbeaten knock of 95 by Robert Johnston secured Carrum Downs a seven wicket win over Delacombe Park last weekend. Seaford and Carrum picked up wins over Main Ridge and Flinders respectively.

gers on Sunday. Prescott scored an unbeaten 36 for her side, and followed it up by taking the game’s final wicket. Balnarring beat Seaford Tigers by 99 runs. Tooradin closed out the round with a ten-wicket win against Somerville.
PENINSULA
AN excellent innings by Josh Goudge wasn’t enough for Mt Eliza to get over the line against Somerville last weekend. Somerville piled on 232 runs on day one. Mt Eliza faced a tall mountain to claim on day two. After losing openers Ravindu Kodithuwakku and Ravindu Kodithuwakku for a combined total of four runs, Josh Goudge came in to steady the
ship. He scored 80 runs. Mt Eliza skipper Sam Glenn also helped by scoring 45, but it wasn’t enough to get his side the win. Mt Eliza was bowled out for 185 after 65 overs, handing Somerville a wellearned win. Moorooduc avoided an outright defeat against Mornington last weekend. The Bulldogs chased down Moorooduc’s first innings total of 121, and declared for 166. Moorooduc scored 152 runs in their second innings before declaring. Mornington scored 4/28 in response before stumps. After a delayed start due to pitch conditions, Rosebud scored 6/210 against Dromana. It wasn’t enough to topple Dromana’s first innings total of 5/271.
Seaford Tigers bowled out Baxter for just 80 last weekend to defend a total of 193. They made Baxter follow on, but didn’t take another wicket before stumps.
DISTRICT
CRIB Point won a thriller against Balnarring at home last weekend. On day one Balnarring scored an impressive 242 runs. The Magpies proved up to the task on their home deck. Opener Matthew Blake hit 81 runs from 168 deliveries. He was only bested by skipper Blake Hogan-Keogh, who piled on an unbeaten 113 runs from 156 balls. Hogan-Keogh smashed 17 boundaries, two of them sixes, during his
FRANKSTON YCW worked hard to defend their day one total against Hastings last weekend. The Saturday prior, the Stonecats scored 228. Some strong bowling by Aaron Winter and Ben Williams helped YCW wrap up the victory. Winter took the scalps of both Hastings openers. He went on to take 3/25, only bested by Williams’ final figures of 5/41. Despite a strong showing by Ryan Regan - he scored 59 runs batting at number nine - Hastings was bowled out for 177. At Ferrero Reserve, Rye had a miserable time against Mt Martha. In response to a day one total of 216, Rye was bowled out for just 101 runs. They were made to follow on and were nearly dismissed again. At stumps they were 9/54. Tyabb were 102 run winners over Boneo last weekend. Pearcedale comfortably beat Skye and Tootgarook smashed Ballam Park.

Baxter boilover in Wallace Cup SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie A DAY that started in disappointment ended in triumph for new Baxter head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor on Saturday. In a classic David and Goliath tale State 4 Baxter defeated VPL1 Langwarrin in a dramatic finale to the 2024 Steve Wallace Cup at Lawton Park. Baxter became the fifth club to lift the trophy that commemorates a local football legend and the lowest ranked club to do so. But a half-hour before the 1pm start to the annual event Taylor could be heard bellowing his disapproval over the dressing room arrangement. “Bloody ridiculous!” he roared as he paced up and down inside the Langwarrin clubrooms. “Two clubs sharing the same dressing room with 40 bloody players and coaches crammed in there when the biggest room in the joint is bloody empty.” Clearly the Baxter gaffer wasn’t a happy man. But fast forward just over six hours later and nothing could wipe the smile from Taylor’s face as Alistair Wallace presented Baxter with the spoils of an historic victory. By now Taylor was in a conciliatory mood and was quick to thank organisers and hosts. “Despite my frustrations early in the day, all credit to Tanya (Wallace), Alistair, James Bretnall (Langwarrin president) and all involved at Langwarrin for putting together a great day, which is essentially the showpiece of football in the local area,” Taylor said. “I’m absolutely delighted for the squad in picking up a piece of silverware this early in the season. “We have only had three full sessions and they have very quickly taken on board some of the principles we want to instil. “Our workrate in very trying conditions was second to none and the lads reaped the rewards.” In the Cup final Baxter drew first blood when former Langwarrin striker Liam Baxter used his body well to hold off a defender. That allowed Dylan Murchie to pick up the loose ball and cut in from the left before curling a right-foot shot into the far corner of goal. As expected Langy dominated possession especially in the second half as a tiring Baxter managed to hold the home side at bay. Langy should have made more of

set-piece opportunities but Archie Macphee, Charlie Fry and Luke Adams couldn’t capitalise. That was until Adams headed home from a Tom Youngs corner. The match finished at 1-1 and penalties decided the issue. Baxter keeper Jarrod Nardino saved attempts from Rogan George and Youngs while Tom Hawkins, Brodie Taylor, Daniel Taylor and guest player Josh Hine scored for Baxter who won the shootout 4-3. The Steve Wallace Plate was run concurrently with the Cup and Somerville Eagles, the highest-ranked Football Victoria team, proved too good for the opposition. Mark Larner’s men won their Group B qualifying games in style beating Mount Eliza 4-0 and Langwarrin Bayside 6-0. They faced Rosebud in the final after the ‘Buds won a bizarre penalty shootout against Seaford United and Mount Martha who had drawn all their Group A qualifying games 0-0. Both Somerville and Rosebud looked leg-weary from the get-go in muggy conditions and the Eagles came close in the first half but failed to make their chances count.

Somerville again looked threatening in the second period but it took an error from Rosebud keeper Kai Robinson to help break the deadlock. The youngster miscontrolled a back pass allowing Corey Riddle to tap the ball into an empty net and make it 1-0. Somerville’s continued pressure was rewarded when a Conor Mcfall freekick was headed home at the back post by Tom Simmons to clinch the 2-0 victory. The day drew a huge audience and all credit to Langwarrin for conducting an open draw in both the Cup and Plate. That decision appeared to energise the annual tournament and it’s expected that other clubs will again be invited to host the event in coming years. In State 2 news Skye United is on the lookout for a new senior assistant after Peter Natsis resigned to take up a similar role at VPL1 outfit Kingston City. Natsis had been at Skye for the past two seasons. “I’ve left Skye United with a heavy heart but I’ve been given an opportunity at Kingston to work with Peter Tsolakis and Con Tangalakis,” Natsis said. Skye drew 0-0 last Thursday night
against Casey Comets at Comets Stadium. The local club also announced a $10,000 sponsorship agreement with Eview Real Estate. Skye president Daren Jones and vice-president Stuart Lawrence were presented with a cheque on behalf of the company from Cameron McCullough. In State 4 Chelsea beat Boronia 2-0 at Esther Park in Mooroolbark on Saturday. English striker James Stinson scored both goals. The former Sunderland youth striker and defender Jake Ross are the first signings of the Gus Macleod era at Chelsea. Stinson played for English Universities in the 2017 Home Nations tournament in Scotland. He arrived in Melbourne in September 2022 but injury sidelined him last season. “I was looking for clubs in the southeast bayside area as I’m hoping to settle down there,” he said. “I messaged a few clubs and Chelsea was proactive and got back in touch straight away and I went to training and really enjoyed it.”
In State 5 news Rosebud has released its pre-season fixtures with all of its friendlies at its Olympic Park headquarters. Here is Rosebud’s schedule: Friday 26 January, v. Docklands Athletic, Olympic Park 7.30pm Wednesday 7 February, v. Chelsea, Olympic Park 7pm Saturday 10 February, Australia Cup Friday 6 February, v.
