New sign tells a tragic tale By Mike Hast MORNINGTON lost most of its football team 120 years ago this month and the tragedy will be marked by a ceremony on Sunday 20 May. The shire council and Mornington and District Historical Society have joined forces to create a new interpretive sign, which will be placed near the football tragedy memorial near the intersection of the Esplanade and Main St.
The memorial commemorates the black day in the town’s history when 15 members of the football team drowned off Mt Eliza while returning from a match at Mordialloc aboard the sailing boat Process. A descendant of one of the players, Janet Groves, has written the words for the sign, which will also contain photos. “The tragedy affected many of the families in the small community. Ten
children were left fatherless,� said Mrs Groves, a relative of Charles Ernest Allchin, one of eight teenagers who drowned. “Reverend James Caldwell lost three sons; Joseph Grover, a builder, lost a son and a brother; and the boat owner and experienced skipper Charles Hooper and his 14-year-old son both drowned.� The accident pitched the small town into deep mourning and for years it
was known as “Mourningtown�. The tragedy occurred on the night of Saturday 21 May 1892. There was no formal football league in 1892 and teams organised games on an ad hoc basis. Mornington played Mordialloc on the original Mordialloc ground in the beach park, near the pier. The game was a draw, two goals each. Behinds were not counted then. The team of 17 men had sailed up to Mordialloc earlier in the day even

though the new rail line between Mornington and Frankston was open. They were joined by Charles Allchin, who came by train from his job in a city architect’s office. At 6pm, 15 members of the team clambered aboard the nine-metre yawl. Three decided to return by train – the town’s baker, Coxhell, a young man called Shultz and the bank manager, Short.

Income, the great divide By Keith Platt RESIDENTS in the Mornington Peninsula’s richest suburb have more than three times the income of those in the lowest paid area. Taxpayers in Portsea earn an average $150,771 while those in Rosebud West receive $45,751. The figures are contained in the latest statistics from the Australian Tax Office grouped in postcodes. The proportion of income paid in tax by residents in Portsea is higher, but the remaining disposable income is still nearly three times that of those in Rosebud West. The towns may be within 16 kilometres of each other, but the lifestyles available to their residents are poles apart. Portsea is defined by having some of the most expensive real estate in Australia, with clifftop mansions valued in the tens of millions of dollars. Secluded properties are owned by the influential and wealthy, politicians and business tycoons. While Portsea’s bay beaches are open to the public, access and parking can be hard to find. At Rosebud, there are relatively few beachside properties, and even those are separated from the beach by a wide foreshore and public footpath. The foreshore camping ground fills to capacity each holiday season, with residents sharing the beach with thousands of visitors. This large amount of public land

Top of the pile: Clifftop properties at Portsea reflect the income levels of taxpayers listed as living in postcode 3944. Incomes in Mornington, below right, are close to those of residents in McCrae, Blairgowrie, Bittern and Tyabb.
also means its future is open to public debate, exemplified by the latest controversy over Mornington Peninsula Shire wanting to use a slice of it for an aquatic centre. Privately owned land behind the foreshore reserve at Portsea virtually deals out any shire interference except for building and planning permits. Elsewhere on the peninsula differences in personal income are not so marked, although Flinders, where average taxable incomes are $125,562, comes a close second to Portsea. It too has beachside clifftop homes, this time facing Western Port, which also pose an access problem for those not fortunate enough to live in one. After Flinders, average incomes drop rapidly, with Merricks, Arthurs
Seat and Sorrento residents falling in the $80,000-plus bracket for taxation purposes. The latest data available from the tax office covers incomes for 2009-10 and shows Mt Eliza ($76,143) is the only peninsula town in the $70,000 bracket, although Tuerong and Moorooduc come close with incomes of $69,195. Balnarring Beach, Red Hill, Merricks North, Mt Martha and Somers all fall within incomes of $60,000. Both sides of the peninsula have a share of towns with incomes of below $50,000: Hastings ($48,979), Crib Point ($47,524) and HMAS Cerberus ($46,208) in Western Port, and Rosebud and Boneo ($47,641), Rye and Fingal ($46,710) and Rosebud West ($45,751) on the Port Phillip side.

Flower arrangements make cool art THE ancient art of Japanese flower arranging is on show at the historic Coolart Homestead in Somers. Ikebana is a disciplined art form based on linear perfection, colour harmony, space and form. In Japan, decorative flower arrangements are seen as being on a level with paintings and other art objects. Ikebana is reputed to have been bought to Australia by Melbourneborn Norman Sparnon, who spent 12 years living in postwar Japan where
Eyewear As Individual As You Are
he studied under the great masters of ikebana. The Coolart exhibition features the “traditional and sculptural” arrangements of Sensei Carlyn and teachers of the Victorian Sogetsu School of Ikebana. The origin of ikebana in Japan dates from about the seventh century, when the custom of offering flowers to Buddha entered Japan from China and Korea along with the introduction of Buddhism.
Ikebana is seen in homes, offices, conference rooms and hotel lobbies. The Sogetsu School was founded in 1927 by the late Sofu Teshigahara, who believed ikebana should be both enjoyable and creative. He developed the Kakeiho method, which combined several styles, spreading the art form throughout the world, as well as staging exhibitions of his own ikebanabased sculptures. The exhibition is from 9am-4.30pm at Coolart until 6 May.

Mt Eliza market’s $20,000 THE state government has given $20,000 to Mt Eliza Farmers Market. The grant was announced by Mornington MP David Morris on Wednesday. He said the market “was an incredible success right from the start. In the very first week it went off very well, and it has rapidly become a spectacular success and a great local institution”. “I welcome the decision of Rural and Regional Development Minister Peter Ryan to … assist the expansion of the popular market.” Mr Morris said he sought assistance for the market in Parliament yesterday (Tuesday). He said the market was an excellent local insti-
tution and “a great outlet for peninsula produce”. “While we have a great variety of produce right across the peninsula, there are not many places you can go where it is available in one space – not all of it, but a good representation of it. It is a great showcase of the Mornington Peninsula produce as well as the produce from surrounding areas. “The market is an initiative of the Mt Eliza Chamber of Commerce and I congratulate Mel Wigg and the great team she has built up who organise the market on a monthly basis. They developed it from scratch, and they do a great job.” Mr Ryan said the $20,000 would be made available through the state government’s $2 million
Farmers Market support program to assist the work being undertaken by the community in the further development of the market. “The project is the Mt Eliza farmers market expansion project. It will increase the market’s viability and enable it to cater for growing demand on the part of local consumers and will create flow-on economic benefits to stallholders and local businesses,” Mr Ryan said. “The project will include market research, the introduction of new market-day activities, recruiting and training of stallholders, market promotion, improvements to site infrastructure and business improvements.”
Budget a fine way to treat peninsula COMMENT By Mike Hast THE state government’s austere budget has provided very little for the Mornington Peninsula – or for the rest of Victoria. The most unpopular item will be $9.6 million for speed cameras on Peninsula Link freeway, expected to open later this year, ahead of schedule. The pretence of speed cameras to maintain safety would appear to have been dropped as the new road will be the safest in the region. And if it’s not safe, how can the government know before it opens? Increasing fines and fees is a key part of revenue generation for the government’s budget, released on Tuesday by state treasurer Kim Wells. It is relying on a massive increase in fines to bolster its promised surplus of $155 million. The Baillieu government will gain about $110 million a year after upping various fines by up to 15 per cent. Police on-the-spot fines will go up 25 per cent. Speed camera fine revenue will jump 20 per
cent to $306 million, including presumably drivers caught speeding on Peninsula Link. Oddly, southern peninsula-based MP and Education Minister Martin Dixon described the freeway cameras as being “emergency/security cameras”. A nice bit of spin. Perhaps he means the state government’s finances are in an emergency situation? Speaking of emergencies, the budget allocates $40 million for redevelopment of Frankston Hospital emergency department, the biggest item for the region. Other items for or that will benefit the peninsula include: Rosebud Primary School will receive $190,000 to complete its planning and tender documentation for its $3 million modernisation. $67 million toward the Eastern Treatment Plant upgrade to produce class A water, started by the Labor government and locked in years ago. $14 million for Boneo treatment plant improvements, also locked in by the previous government. $4 million for planning of an expanded Port of Hastings, which is expected to cost at least $10 billion over the next 25 years.
All three of the peninsula’s Liberal MPs – Martin Dixon (Nepean electorate), David Morris (Mornington) and Neale Burgess (Hastings) – were singing from the same book in their press releases issued on Wednesday. Here’s a sample: “The budget is shaped by the economic challenges of the present, but its focus is on securing the future. Global and economic factors have resulted in a softer economy and significant reductions in government revenue,” Mr Dixon said. “These forces are placing real pressure on local businesses and families and on the government’s capacity to meet community needs. “This budget sets out a clear plan to meet these challenges and positions Victoria to take full advantage of current and future opportunities.” “This budget sets Victoria on a sustainable financial path, which will allow the state to provide the services, facilities and capital works required by our growing population,” Mr Morris said. Looks like it’s time to invest in cruise control if you plan to use Peninsula Link. Set it on 99.96km/h and enjoy the sylvan views out of the corner of your eye.

Mother’s Day Lunch Sign of a tragic tale The alarm was raised when the boat had not arrived as expected by 9.30pm. Land and sea search parties were organised, but no sign of the men was found. The partially submerged Process was found the next morning on Pelican Reef near Daveys Bay. The body of Alfred Lawrence was trapped underneath in rigging. Three other bodies were found in the following weeks on the beaches of Mt Eliza and Rosebud. What happened is unknown, but it was thought a sudden squall hit the boat, a wire stay broke, causing the sail to run down, and the boat capsized. A public meeting established a committee and more than 1600 pounds was raised with 75
pounds spent on the memorial and the rest given to the families of those who died. Mornington Peninsula Shire has developed plans to improve the foreshore area near the football disaster memorial. Mornington councillor Bev Colomb told The News last year the work would cost about $330,000. On Wednesday she said it was hoped to secure money in the coming budget, but could not say when the work would start. The 120th anniversary service is at 10am on Sunday 20 May at the memorial (pictured), corner Main St and the Esplanade. Details: 5977 0027 or 5975 2958. The historical society is reissuing the booklet The Pelican Reef Disaster by C H Allchin.
By Mike Hast MORNINGTON’S connection to a rare astronomical phenomenon, the transit of Venus, will be revealed by a world authority at a talk on Tuesday morning organised by Mornington and District Historical Society. The talk by Dr Nick Lomb, former Sydney Observatory curator of astronomy, will whet the appetite for the transit of Venus next month, the last for 105 years. Venus will pass across the face of the sun on Wednesday 6 June between 8.16am and 2.44pm. Dr Lomb, author of Transit of Venus: 1631 to the present, will tell the story of Professor William Parkinson Wilson, who observed the 1874 transit from a temporary observatory set up in Venice Reserve, where 1st Mornington Scout Group’s hall stands today. Wilson, professor of mathematics at the University of Melbourne, lived nearby at “Wolfdene” on Wilsons Rd near Nunns Rd. The house was built in 1858 and was the Mornington Hotel for about 10 years before becoming a school and then a private residence, which it remains today. Wilson carried out his observations of Venus on behalf of the Melbourne Observatory (he had been the main lobbyist for the Great Melbourne Telescope, which was constructed at the observatory, next to the Royal Botanic Gardens, in 1868). Tragically, Wilson died just two days after the transit, but not before he had finished his report. The Australian Dictionary of Biography says Wilson “died of apoplexy, aged 48, and was buried in the Moorooduc cemetery” (now called Mornington cemetery). Dr Lomb, who was at Sydney Observatory for more than 30 years until his retirement in 2009, said there had been six transits of Venus since the phenomena was first recognised – 1639, 1761, 1769, 1874, 1882 and the most recent in 2004. “The 6 June event is our last opportunity to observe a transit of Venus, as the next one occurs on 11 December 2117,” he said. “I encourage people to see it with their own eyes, but precautions must be taken as you cannot look directly at the sun.” He suggested the
website of his former employer was a good place to start: www.sydneyobservatory.com.au Another site is: www.transitofvenus.com.au A transit of a planet occurs when it passes directly between the Earth and the sun, and appears to pass across the face of the sun. Transits can only occur with planets with orbits between the Earth and the sun – Mercury and Venus. Mercury transits about 13 times every century. Transits of Venus occur in a pattern that repeats every 243 years with pairs of transits eight years apart separated by gaps of 121½ years and 105½ years. Venus and the Earth are aligned in the same direction out from the Sun about every 584 days, but a transit does not occur each time because Venus’s orbit is usually above or below the sun in the sky. A transit is similar to a solar eclipse, but the planet appears to be much smaller that the moon so it does not cover the sun and looks like a small black disc. Australia is one of the best places to observe the entire transit as it will be visible from eastern and central Australia. Venus will travel in a straight line across the sun, but because the sun appears to rotate as it crosses the sky, Venus will appear to move in an inverted “U” shape when viewed from Australia. The 1769 transit has a vital historical connection to Australia. Captain James Cook was dispatched to Tahiti on HMS Endeavour to observe the transit. After a successful observation he was directed to search for the “great south land” thought to exist in the South Pacific Ocean. He “discovered” and charted the east coast of Australia and claimed the continent for the British in 1770. Dr Lomb will also talk about Cook’s voyage to Tahiti, the first of three explorations that ended in February 1779 when he was killed in Hawaii during a fracas over a stolen boat. “Transit of Venus: The Mornington Connection” by Dr Nick Lomb, 10.30am, Tuesday 8 May, St Mark’s Friendship Room, Barkly St, Mornington.

Mornington’s Venus connection revealed
Making waves over pool plan By Mike Hast MORNINGTON Ward councillor Bev Colomb is backing the community meeting being held on Friday night by rebel councillors Graham Pittock and Tim Rodgers to discuss the proposed aquatic centre at Rosebud. Crs Pittock and Rodgers have hired Rosebud Memorial Hall to give all shire residents a chance to have a say about the controversial $28 million plan to build the Southern Peninsula Aquatic Centre (SPA) on the foreshore at Rosebud. The meeting is shaping as a fiery encounter between supporters and opponents of the foreshore pool. The event is a reaction to the council meeting of 19 March at which six of the 11 councillors voted to take SPA to the next stage of planning. Cr Colomb on Wednesday told The News “large, multi-million dollar infrastructure projects for the peninsula should involve consultation with the whole community”. She said she was not against the pool, but “we’ll all be paying for it”. An attempt to get the shire to conduct a “roadshow” throughout the municipality to explain SPA was defeated 6-5 at the 19 March meeting, held at a packed Peninsula Community Theatre in Mornington. Cr Pittock said he and Cr Rodgers would not have organised the meeting if the council had approved the roadshow. “It’s very simple – we don’t believe there has been adequate opportunity for all peninsula residents to have a say about the project as we don’t
have plans or final costs,” he said. Pro-pool councillor David Gibb, who represents Rosebud Ward, said SPA was part of the Rosebud Coastal Management Plan, which went on public exhibition in August 2009 showing the pool location. “It was on exhibition until November 2011, the longest period we’ve had a plan on exhibition,” he said. Cr Gibb said “this sort of meeting attracts opponents” of major projects. However, he was encouraging people to turn out again, but there was an element of “meeting fatigue”. “People have demonstrated their support for a foreshore pool since 2005.” SPA, estimated to cost $28 million but almost certain to cost more, is one of three pools planned by the shire since 2000. The first opened at Hastings in 2004 and the third is planned for Mornington. The 19 March council meeting was the first about SPA since Environment Minister Ryan Smith approved the foreshore site on 25 January. The shire had been seeking socalled coastal consent for the pool since 2005, but had been blocked by the Department of Sustainability and Environment, which had the support of various Labor government environment ministers. Mr Smith’s green light was announced by the mayor, Cr Frank Martin, on 29 February. For the foreshore pool are councillors David Gibb, Frank Martin, Antonella Celi, Anne Shaw, Bill Goodrem and Reade Smith.
Against are councillors Pittock, Rodgers, Colomb, Lynn Bowden, and Leigh Eustace. Cr Gibb said the site had been chosen and now the shire had coastal consent from the minister, it was “appropriate to spend time and money on taking core samples, etc” and preparing plans. He said the final plan would go on public exhibition for six weeks, but could not say when this would occur. SPA required a planning scheme amendment, he said, and a panel hearing similar to the one for the proposed marina in Mornington harbour would also enable people to have a say. “And people won’t be restricted to three
minutes as occurs in council hearings.” Cr Rodgers said it was important “to bring the community on this big project”. This could be the first of many meetings about SPA, he said. “Many people don’t know its location, they don’t know the size of the pool – many think it will be a 50-metre pool, but it’s a 25-metre one.” Cr Rodgers said he and Cr Pittock were “not going to tell people what to do; we’re there to listen and answer questions”. Information from the meeting would form the basis of a report they would be writing for the council, he said. Cr Rodgers said they had invited
federal MPs Greg Hunt and Bruce Billson as well as state MPs Martin Dixon, David Morris, Neale Burgess, Johan Scheffer and Environment Minister Ryan Smith. Mr Hunt has said he won’t attend, but has sent a statement, which Cr Pittock will read out. On Saturday Mr Dixon told The News he had no issue with the meeting, but would not attend. “I made an election commitment [in early 2010] to get coastal consent for the site so the planning process could start. I believe SPA will reinvigorate Rosebud and the foreshore is the best place to build it.”
Trans-Tasman tastes seek cool acclaim
Taste test: Judging for this year’s best cool climate wines is on 29-30 May.
WINEMAKERS from the Mornington Peninsula, Tasmania and New Zealand each make up 20 per cent of the entries made so far in this year’s International Cool Climate Wine Show. Wines from the Yarra Valley, Geelong, Gippsland, the Port Phillip region and small wine growing regions in South Australia and New South Wales make up the rest of the competitors at the 13th Red Hill Show, according to project manager Steve Robin. “With the past few vintages being excellent in terms of quality, competition for medals will be hot,” he said. Closing date for entries in the wine show has been extended to 2 May due to Easter and Anzac Day delaying the process. Judging will be held on 29 and 30 May
at Mornington Racing Club. Mr Robin said cafe and restaurants were making a “delicious offer” for meals between 17 May and 1 June as part of the event: a two-course lunch featuring bountiful local produce with a glass of cool climate wine. For details www.visitmornington peninsula.org The public will be able to taste entries 6-8pm at the racing club on Wednesday 30 May for $20, which includes a tasting glass and wine. The awards presentation dinner is on Friday 1 June at the racing club. The $125 cost includes four courses, canapés and wine. Email sr@asnevents.net.au or visit www.coolclimate wineshow.org.au

Fishing line snags dolphin and seals SEALS and dolphins are being hooked on fishing gear carelessly dumped in Port Phillip. The latest victim, a two-year-old dolphin, prompted the Department of Sustainability and Environment to issue a warning to anglers, although tour boat operators and divers have for months being calling on authorities to help entangled seals. One of the seals was sighted at Rye pier just before Mornington Peninsula Shire proceeded with its Australia Day fireworks display. Crew on board the Sorrento-based Polperro tour boat spotted the dolphin on Friday 27 April. Efforts are now being made to locate and free the dolphin by the DSE, Zoos Victoria, dolphin tour operators, the Gold Coast’s Sea World and the Hastings-based Dolphin Research Institute. DSE senior wildlife officer Glenn Sharp said the agencies were doing their best to free the dolphin that appeared to be tangled in fishing line, rope and large shark fishing sinkers. “A rescue may be unachievable because we are dealing with a fast-moving, mid-sized, agile, seadwelling dolphin that can easily keep its distance from us,” Mr Sharp said. “We are privileged to share the water with marine mammals such as dolphins and an incident like this is a reminder of the detrimental impact humans can have on our wildlife.” Mr Sharp said DSE also had reports and confirmed sightings of six entangled seals in Port Phillip since December. “The amount of marine mammals affected by discarded fishing line is unavoidable because seals take fish off the hooks,” he said. “However, discarding of fishing line appropriately will make a difference and help to minimise
the detrimental impact on marine wildlife.” Mr Sharp said photographs and observations “suggest the fishing line and rope entangling the dolphin may also be attached to a weight with hooks and the dolphin may have a hook in its body”. “We know Victorians love seeing marine mammals and we seek their cooperation to undertake recreational activities safely and clean up so that we can all enjoy these amazing animals without jeopardising their lives.” To report an emergency – including stranding, entanglement, injury or death – involving a whale or a dolphin, call 1300 136 017.

Tied up This young male seal with rope caught around his neck was first spotted at Chinamans Hat,
off Rye, in January. Jessica Beckham, who photographed the seal, says the line has eaten into his flesh. “I’m out on the water [with the Polperro tour boat] most days and having to be confronted with this every day has been quite distressing, not only for me but for guests on board. They are disgusted. “This seal has been entangled for over four months and we see him on a regular basis.� Ms Beckham says she reported the seal’s plight to the DSE, but no action had been taken. She is also concerned about the danger to marine life caused by fish traps (left). “All we could see from the surface was the blue plastic bottle, which acts as a float. On closer inspection we could see the line attached. The line is weighted to the bottom of the sea floor with hooks and bait attached to lure in fish or sharks,� she said. “This is the first one we have found; who knows how many have been set and left unattended. Not only do they attract fish and sharks but also seals, dolphins and other marine life that are naturally curious. “Fish traps that are unattended are a problem as marine life such as seals and dolphins may become entangled in the line.�

Dock plan won’t delay port work By Mike Hast A NEW container port at Webb Dock in Port Melbourne would not delay development of the Port of Hastings, MP Neale Burgess says. Mr Burgess said both projects “must happen” and were “part of the same plan for Victoria’s future”. He was commenting after the state government last week announced a new section of Port of Melbourne would be built at Webb Dock at a cost of about $1.2 billion. Premier Ted Baillieu said the project would create more than 2500 jobs and change the landscape of the city. The Webb Dock project was foreshadowed last August by Ports Australia CEO David Anderson (‘Hastings port shock: expert’s call to develop Webb over Western Port’, The News, 2/8/11). Mr Anderson said Webb Dock should be given a higher priority than developing the Port of Hastings. The chief of the peak body of port and marine authorities in Australia told a ports conference in Tasmania that infrastructure for accessing Hastings was “pretty diabolical” and it would take 30 years to fully develop the port. In late January, The News reported construction of the first stage of an expanded Port of Hastings would not start for four or five years. Yehudi Blacher, head of the new Port of Hastings Development Authority, said Hastings was well suited to become Victoria’s second container port within 10 to 13 years. Mr Blacher and other members of the author-
6/13 Diane Street, Mornington Ph: 5976 4500
ity, appointed on 1 January, were meeting for the first time. Before the lunch meeting, board members visited existing facilities with Ports Minister Denis Napthine and Mr Burgess. Mr Blacher said he was “absolutely confident” the expansion could be finished on time and on budget, but could not say how much it would cost. “There is extensive planning work to be done.” Dr Napthine said Hastings port would serve the state for 50 to 100 years. “This is a nationbuilding project.” On Monday, Mr Burgess said the previous Labor government had left Victoria without a plan for coping with forecast import and export growth. “Redevelopment of Webb Dock and development of the Port of Hastings are both part of the same plan for Victoria’s future,” he said. Last Tuesday, Dr Napthine said Webb Dock expansion would be funded by the Port of Melbourne and the private sector. The container port would compete for business against the two operators at Swanson Dock. It would improve handling capacity to up to $100 billion worth of trade a year. Opposition leader Daniel Andrews said the plans would cause major traffic chaos on the West Gate Freeway. The government’s plans for Webb Dock do not include rail links.

Centenarian lost great uncles in football tragedy OBITUARY James Reid Caldwell, farmer, grandson of Rev James Caldwell 1910-2012 By Peter McCullough ANOTHER link with old Mornington was lost on 29 March with the death of James “Jim” Reid Caldwell at 101. Jim Caldwell was the last surviving grandchild of Reverend James A Caldwell, the Presbyterian minister in Mornington from 1874 until his retirement in 1903. Three of Rev Caldwell’s sons were among the 15 members of the Mornington football team that drowned in May 1892 off Mt Eliza when they were returning from Mordialloc. The December 2009 edition of The News contained a biography of Rev Caldwell. Of his eight children, five were to die in tragic circumstances. James, aged 21, William, 19, and Hugh, 17, drowned in 1892 when the fishing boat Process foundered on Pelican Reef. Five years after the death of her father in 1909, Jean was lost at sea between England and Ireland. In 1939 the youngest son, John, was fatally wounded when climbing through a fence with a loaded rifle. John (or Jack as he was known) and the eldest son, Tom, had married sisters from Almurta in South Gippsland, daughters of William Craig who, with his brother Robert, had settled in the area in the 1880s. Jim was the eldest of Jack Caldwell’s six children. Jim recalled his father, who was born in 1880 and was 12 at the time of the football team tragedy, telling of the great sadness within the family at the time. Jack was an excellent swimmer – perhaps a legacy of his three brothers drowning – and he ensured all of his own family members were able to swim, even though they only had dams to learn in. In 1992 Jim was asked to lay a wreath at the monument on the Esplanade in Mornington to mark the centenary of the tragedy. He later described the eerie feeling he had when he looked at the names and saw “James Reid Caldwell”, the same name as his own. At Jim Caldwell’s funeral in Kernot Uniting Church on 5 April the eulogy was given by Janette Allen, the daughter of Jim’s sister, Nancy. This is an abridged version: James Reid Caldwell was born on 17 June 1910 to Agnes and John (Jack) Caldwell in Warburton. Soon after his birth his maternal grandfather, William Craig, visited Agnes and Jack.
The Caldwell line: Left, James Reid Caldwell and his famous grandfather Reverend James A Caldwell, right, who lost three sons in the Mornington football team tragedy of 1892.
He stated in no uncertain terms that they should “Get out before you are burnt out”, and advised them to buy a farm in the hills around Almurta. Jack purchased a farm called “Forest Grange” on a windy hilltop in Glen Alvie. Jim’s childhood was spent on the farm. He rode horses, helped with the farm and attended school down the valley in Almurta. In November 1918 Jim was at school when the end of the First World War was announced. He remembered great celebrations and excitement, particularly when the four Garry boys returned home and came across to the school, shook hands with everyone and stopped for a chat. Jim clearly remembered attending his first game of football at Glen Forbes in 1920. Glen Forbes played Kernot and this began a lifelong love of football. In September 1924, after beginning to study for his Intermediate Certificate, it became apparent that his teacher, who was only a few years older than Jim, was not really interested in helping the correspondence students. Jim decided he had had enough of school and asked his father if he could leave. Jack gave the idea some thought and then agreed, saying there was plenty of work to do on the farm. Two weeks after Jim finished school, the family grew by one with the arrival of Nancy, the sixth and final child in the family, which consisted of Jim, Bill, David, Tom, Jean and Nancy. In 1926 the family moved from “Forest Grange” to “Round Hill”, a farm several miles away by road but only a short distance by foot. Jim decided to walk over the hills on the day of the
move rather than take the slow buggy ride. He contributed to the move by carrying the gramophone horn under one arm and his beloved football under the other. During the journey he decided to give a hoot on the gramophone horn. “It frightened the cows and they took off. One lost her footing and rolled down the hill. Terribly steep country it was. Luckily she was all right,” he recalled years later Among the cows, dogs, cattle, horses and family comings and goings, Jim developed a love of cars. The first family car, an Oakland, was purchased in 1926. While Jim’s brother Bill loved motorbikes, and they all rode horses, it was cars that intrigued Jim. He began tinkering on them, taking a diploma course in motor mechanics by correspondence. Soon he was fixing all the cars in the area. He became known as someone who understood the mechanical beasts, and would buy cars to order for locals, as well as maintaining them. Meticulous records and many car catalogues dating back to the 1920s detail more than 40 cars purchased and sold. The year 1926 was also memorable as it was the start of Jim’s football career. He played for Blackwood Forest seconds for one season, then played for the seniors from 1927 until he retired at age 29. The Blackwood Forest ground was in Almurta on his uncle Will’s farm, as there wasn’t a large enough flat surface in Blackwood Forest to play footy. Jim’s mother Agnes suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, which eventually forced her into a wheelchair. In an effort to prevent her deterioration

in the cold, damp winters of South Gippsland, and to enable Jack to engage in an activity he loved, the couple took off to the west in July 1928. Jim looked after the farm in his father’s absence, a pretty tall order for a lad of 18, even with his younger brothers’ help. The year 1939 is marked in Jim’s life as a very sad one. It was the beginning of the Second World War, it also brought the death of his maternal grandfather, aged 88, and the tragic death of his father in a shooting accident, aged 59. Jim’s brother David joined the army in 1940, followed by Tom. Bill was keen on the police force, while Nancy was still at school. Jean was never happier than when on horseback, as well as helping to care for their mother. They got through the early years of the war, waiting and hoping. In December 1944 Agnes’s health finally failed and she died. Jean decided to take up nursing. Nancy had already begun a career in teaching. In 1945, after VE Day, they received the news that David would not be coming back. He had died in the landing on Tarakan in Borneo. After the war things began to look up. Alice McLeish had been visiting “Round Hill” and Jim began to visit the McLeish property at Kernot. The big day arrived in 1947 when Jim and Alice married. They spent a lovely 10 days honeymooning in Lakes Entrance, before returning to make their home at “Round Hill”. Farming at “Round Hill” was replaced in 1958 with farming at “Limepark”. Named after the old family farm in Northern Ireland, it had been a Craig family farm since 1902 and was the site of the Blackwood Forest
football ground. Jim and Alice built a new brick home in 1959. Alice gradually built an extensive garden around the house. During these years, both at “Round Hill” and “Limepark”, Jim and Alice were frequently hosts to a growing number of nieces and nephews. Other aspects of Jim’s life on the farm were his continuing love of working dogs and, in equal measure, his pleasure in driving an array of vehicles. Jim was also renowned for his love of old trucks and his miraculous ability to drive them up incredibly steep country at the back of his farm to deliver fertiliser to wherever he wanted to spread it. Jim worked sheep for many years, alongside the cattle that were his main interest. Jim and Alice were on the Almurta Hall committee for many years and keen organisers and participants of euchre nights at various halls in the district. Jim spent his final years at Seahaven aged care centre in Inverloch with his beloved Alice. He entertained a large number of friends and relatives in June 2010 when he celebrated his 100 th birthday. Alice died in December 2010. There are so many tales to tell when a life has stretched more than 100 years. So many cattle bought and sold, so many trips to Newmarket Saleyards in Melbourne in so many different very fast cars, so many barrowloads of wood carried in for Alice’s wood stove, so many furrows ploughed, so many cards dealt and received, so much life lived so well. “How are you, Uncle Jim?” “Not too bad for an old man.”

In listening to our customers both directly and through customer surveys, the overwhelming feedback was in the key areas we have addressed – concession discounts, family ticket prices, discount on return travel and the driver included in the car price. “In addition, we will soon be launching a local residents card that will offer discounts for locals.” Mr McDonald said passengers could now buy fresh espresso coffee on board, use WiFi and other upgraded facilities. The one-way price for a car and driver between Sorrento and Queenscliff has been reduced to $55 or $53 online. The new family ticket for two adults and up to three children is $30 one way for foot passengers and $20 for car passengers (plus car price). For fare information www.searoad.com.au

Parkside elegance
The Mighty Quinn
SET on a 700-square metre block, this immaculate brick home has a beautiful colour scheme that will match any furnishings. The elegant formal entry is a wonderful starting point and the great impression continues into the formal lounge with its sunny position at the front of the home. To the left is a separate home office. Polished timber floors feature throughout a spacious open-plan family area that encompasses the kitchen and a dining area. The informal lounge has a nice outlook to the rear garden. Upstairs are four large bedrooms, including the master bedroom with its ensuite and walk-in robe. The main family bathroom has a spa bath and separate shower. There is a powder room for guests on the ground floor. The home has a host of extras including a ducted vacuum system. To keep energy costs down while keeping the family warm and comfortable there are nine solar panels, a central gas heating system, two reverse-cycle air-conditioners and electric security roller blinds.
THIS solid-brick, three-bedroom home offers an exciting entry point into Mount Eliza for families of all shapes and sizes. All the hard work has been done with a tasteful and adventurous renovation that echoes a relaxed Moroccan mood. The ambience of the home is evident with earthy rough-cast walls, exposed beams and a cosy open fireplace with comfortable living areas and a private terrace for undercover alfresco dining. Under a timber-lined ceiling, the lounge and dining area offer the perfect spot to snuggle up for a family movie or lose yourself in a good book. The budding artist will love unleashing their creativity in the privacy of the quaint studio bungalow in the backyard. The heart of the home offers an open-plan meals and family zone with doors opening to the long terrace, which has built-in seating and a brilliant white kitchen fitted with a dishwasher and stainless-steel oven. The master bedroom has an ensuite with a frameless walk-in shower. Two other bedrooms share a main bathroom with spa.

Eat and run
OPERATING out of near-new premises, this Indian restaurant has 15 years remaining on its lease. A set of bifold doors open onto a patio area, with an outlook across parklands to the foreshore, which creates extra dining space during the warmer months. The restaurant has seating for 150 with scope to increase this to 200, which is in line with the current liquor licence. The business lends itself to corporate lunches and dinners with a full sound system, projector and visual display units, which are all included in the substantial chattels list. Opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner.
THIS industrial takeaway is the only business of its type in the Dromana Industrial Estate. Opening hours are 6.30am to 2.30pm, five days a week and the business serves breakfasts and lunches for local industries and tradesmen alike.

Spoil your mum on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make or buy her a cheesecake BLUE Bay Cheese has all the necessary ingredients with the cheese (made on the premises) and free range eggs that are used for this cake. The compnay also sells freshly made cheesecakes. Truly from paddock to plate experience. Blue Bay cheesecake is very light, gluten-free and delicious. It is a cross between a pudding and a cake. When served warm, the luscious soft and delicate centre is beautifully balanced by the tang of the lemon. Irene Kogut keeps the old-fashioned recipe and still makes cakes in the traditional way. She is very happy to share her recipe.
3. Beat the egg yolks and sugar, mix in the ricotta and quark cheese, followed by corn flour, vanilla extract and the lemon juice and rind until the mixture is light and fluffy. 4. Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until they start to form stiff peaks, then gently fold into the cake mixture. 5. Pour into the prepared cake tin, smooth over the top and smear with the beaten egg yolk. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes to one hour, until lightly browned and still slightly soft in the centre. Allow to cool slightly in the tin, then turn out. Serve warm or cold, dusted with icing sugar or coulis on the top.
Blue Bay cheesecake Serves 12-15. Preparation time: 45 minutes, baking time: 45 minutes. Ingredients 500g Blue Bay ricotta 500g Blue Bay quark 3 large or 5 small free-range eggs 1 lemon (juice and rind) 200g caster sugar 1 tbsp corn flour 1 tsp vanilla extract Sprinkle icing sugar on the top to serve. Strawberries or any other fresh berries or coulis can be served on the top as well. 1. Preheat the oven to 170Ë&#x161;C. Grease a 20cm (8inch) loose-bottomed cake tin with the olive oil or butter. Line the base with baking paper. 2. Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
Mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the word: Blue Bay Cheese owner Andre Kogut with his mum Irene.

Make mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day a real pearler
Part of Bittern for 30 years BITTERN Market started with half a dozen stalls in the Bittern Hall about 30 ago. It now has 72 stalls and operates from Bittern railway station car park reserve on the other side of Frankston-Flinders Rd. One of the organisers, Peter Bryan, said it is a happy, friendly market that is dog friendly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people visit the market every Sunday while exercising their dogs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stalls sell a wide variety of items including new and used jewellery and bric-a-brac. There is also bread, cheeses, fruit and vegetables, nuts, plants and more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The food van and coffee stalls are popular places with many people having morning coffee and breakfast,â&#x20AC;? Mr Bryan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are small producers selling goods including fabulous Blue Bay cheese and fresh yoghurt, homemade cakes, local gum honey, freshly baked sourdough breads and free range eggs.

AS everyone knows, all mums are gems and for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day this year we all have the opportunity to add a pearl to the jewel in our lives. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the wellknown Mornington Main Street icon, Tiare Black Pearl, is just about to close its doors for the last time before returning to Olinda village. As a farewell to all its loyal customers Tiare is giving everyone the chance to purchase all its products, including high quality pearls and 18 carat gold settings, for prices ranging from 30% off sterling silver jewellery to 40% off pearl jewellery and 50% off Tahitian and freshwater loose pearls and pearl strands. Tiare Black Pearl has been delighting Mornington residents and tourists for the past five years since establishing their second shop here back in 2007. Most of us would have stopped by their lovely shop window in Main Street where pearls from all around the world are displayed among nautical items such as shells, a divers helmet, a boat and Tahitian figurines. Owners Alan and Winnie Maguire are known to all their customers for their high level of customer service. For all those guys out there thinking of what to buy mum or their childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mum this Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day rest assured as they offer the â&#x20AC;&#x153;menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guaranteeâ&#x20AC;?. While they will do their best to help
at an affordable price from Tiare Black Pearl.
you make the right choice of jewellery, there is always the possibility that mum can come back and exchange it for another item later. So this year make mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day a pearler with a beautiful pearl

Nobody expects a ferret in their bedroom By Stuart McCullough â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;LOST! One ferret. Answers to the name of Tony.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; While neighbourhood light poles are littered with pamphlets advertising everything from garage sales to school fetes to lost cats and dogs, ferrets rarely get a look in. Perhaps people feel you can only really say so much on a light pole. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true to say that most people have a carport rather than a garage, but you never hear of a carport sale. Such a declaration would, no doubt, spook the horses. In the same way, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine to plaster a photo of some unfortunate feline or doggy far and wide in a plea for its prompt return, you seldom if ever see anyone begging to be notified as to the whereabouts of their missing pet hairy-backed tarantula or short-nosed crocodile. The same is true of ferrets. It was just after 3am last Wednesday when, if not all hell, then at least threequarters of it broke loose downstairs. The silent, early hours of the morning were sliced open by two piercing screams from our neighbours. This, I must say, is highly unusual; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re simply not the kind of people to make a ruckus. This screaming was followed by an avalanche of footsteps, closing doors and what sounded like hand-to-hand combat. This prompted some discussion as to whether we should go down and offer assistance, in case they were trying to fend off an intruder. But the sound rising through the floorboards suggested that such assistance was not necessary.
The following day, Kate received an email from our downstairs neighbours politely asking if we were missing a ferret. They had been sleeping when they heard a scratching sound in their bedroom and, out of curiosity, switched on the light. The illumination revealed a somewhat surprised ferret which, in turn, inspired the squealing and scrambling that followed. Nobody expects a ferret in the bedroom, especially if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own one. After managing to evict the interloper from their apartment, our neighbours were startled to find the furry intruder returning through the cat-flap, setting off a second wave of commotion. In response to the question â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;have you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perchance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; misplaced a ferret?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I was able to answer with almost com-
plete certainty that this was not the case. In fact, so far as we could ascertain, no one in our block of apartments was a secret ferret fancier. After tossing the interloper out, it took up residence in the courtyard, eyeing off tenants as they went to start their cars later that morning. To know the creature was still lurking somewhere in the backyard was somewhat unnerving. For all I knew, it was now in the mood for revenge and could easily launch an attack from a hiding place under the stairs at any moment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never pleasant to lose a pet. Many years ago, my brother Lachlan had a pet mouse named Manceton. He was allowed to keep it in his bedroom, in an old budgerigar cage. But like Papillon, Manceton was not about to al-
low himself to be imprisoned for very long. There began a series of escapes, the likes of which would put most ferrets to shame. Generally, these prison breaks ended after a short time in which my brother would tear through the house in search of his escaped pet. In one way, you have to admire its determination. How it managed to get away, much less smuggle a pair of wire cutters into its cage in the first place, quite rightly boggles the mind. However, the day inevitably came when Manceton escaped and could not be found. We had our suspicions, of course. For while Manceton no longer occupied his cage, his odour continued to occupy my brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room. Over time, the mouse scent carried with it the whiff of decay and it seemed
likely that poor Manceton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; desperate to escape â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had got stuck somewhere in the room and had perished. Years later, a mouse skeleton was discovered in the curtain railing. Alas poor Manceton. All you craved was freedom. While all those in the surrounding apartments declared they knew nothing of the ferret, one reported hearing someone from the next block over calling out for â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at about 5am. To their credit, our neighbours rang local vets in the hope this might reveal the owner of a ferret named Tony. Whether describing the resulting reunion as a miracle is not only going overboard but recklessly disregarding the lifejackets in the process probably doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter. A grateful owner collected a disoriented ferret to return it to its home. Our neighbours, I suspect, are likely to add some kind of keypad to the cat flap as a means of upping the security level. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing worse than losing a beloved pet. More than that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite a big deal to find something so precious to somebody else, especially at three oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mighty responsibility. In a sense, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what you love â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cat, dog or blue-tongued lizard. Having a pet reveals something about all of us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well proven that having a pet increases your general health and wellbeing. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a bit surprised. Especially when the pet in question is a ferret named Tony. www.stuartmccullough.com

Performance NEW Zealand-born Keith Urban picked up his first guitar aged six and won his first talent quest at eight. He was influenced by Glen Campbell, Dire Straits, Fleetwood Mac and Don Williams. Urban became a Tamworth busker before winning his first Star Maker Quest in 1990 and a Golden Guitar in 1991 for best new talent. The winning song was I Never Work on a Sunday. He went on to win eight Golden Guitars. Now one of the world’s top-selling country music artists, he is enjoying time at the top of both the music charts and television ratings. Urban’s Greatest Hits album is at No 1 on iTunes, while Channel 9’s The Voice, on which Urban appears as a coach, is at No 1. Greatest Hits took the No 1 position on the iTunes chart following the second episode of The Voice, and has kept UK boy band One Direction at No 2 after their recent chart dominance. Greatest Hits is one of four Urban albums in the iTunes album chart alongside Be Here, Get Closer and Defying Gravity. He has sold more than 15 million albums. Urban’s current No 1 follows his recent third consecutive US No 1 song
You Gonna Fly from the Get Closer album. The No 1 US hit follows previous Get Closer chart toppers Without You and Long Hot Summer and gives him a 14 No 1 hits in the US. www.keithurban.net www.theinsoundfromwayout.com www.thevoice.com.au *** CAT Stevens spent his childhood in a flat above his parents’ restaurant in London’s West End. Cat Stevens, real name Steve Georgiou, had his first hit single I Love My Dog at age 19 before he contracted tuberculosis in 1968 and retired from music. After two years he re-emerged and
released the album Tea for the Tillerman in 1971, which gave him international stardom, the album making it to No 2 on the Australian charts and staying in the top 40 album charts for a staggering 96 weeks. The follow-up Teaser and the Firecat (1971) went straight to No 1 in Australia, staying there for 69 weeks. The 1972 album Catch Bull at Four also hit No 1 on the Aussie charts and remained for 34 weeks. Other albums to follow included Foreigner, Buddha and the Chocolate Box, Greatest Hits, Numbers, Izitso and Back to Earth. In 1979, he became a Muslim, took the name Yusuf Islam and retired from music. In 2006, he returned to pop music with his first album of new pop songs in 28 years, Another Cup, under the name Yusuf. Island Records released his most recent album Roadsinger in 2009. Former Hollies singer Terry Sylvester, Rick Nelson’s son Gunnar Nelson and Holly Williams (daughter of Hank Williams Jr) were featured on backing vocals on Roadsinger. This month, Melbourne will see the $5 million production of Moonshadow, the first musical by Yusuf. He has
been working in Melbourne with the cast for the past few months. “The musical has been my baby for a while and it’s about to be born here in Melbourne. I’m really excited. It’s looking fantastic,” he said. Yusuf first indicated the musical was on the way when he made comment during his 2010 Australian tour. He has written new songs for Moonshadow, but most are his classics. The story is centred around family and is about someone who has a dream of another world. Five principal cast members are Gareth Keegan (Jersey Boys, Rocky Horror Show, Bobby Darin Musical), Gemma-Ashley Kaplan (Neighbours, Damn Yankees), Jolvon James (Shane Warne: The Musical, Mama Mia, Homicide, Blue Heelers, Water Rats), Blake Bowden (West Side Story, Boy From Oz, Home and Away) and Robert Grubb (Phar Lap, Gallipoli, McLeod’s Daughters, The Flying Doctors, All Saints, Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You). Moonshadow opens at the Princess Theatre on 31 May. Tickets 1300 111 011 or online www.ticketmaster.com.au www.moonshadowthemusical.com.

True, I am no financial adviser, but with billions invested in superannuation funds it stands to reason there are termites in the woodwork. Be certain. *** I’M so glad the young ones have a new skate park at Mt Eliza. Now there’s a call for a footpath to the park, maybe a clean concrete footpath. And after that we could perhaps call for freshwater drinking fountains along the way, never forgetting coin-operated first aid kits. Mt Eliza, the unforbidden city on the peninsula. Do not disturb. *** BIG splash in The Age: “Victoria in danger of losing its triple A credit rating.” This caused me some concern until I suddenly realised I hadn’t a clue what it meant, not dissimilar (or similar?) to my feelings/knowledge of the surplus/deficit talk. Further, I remembered that they all got it wrong just three years ago. Then I remembered Melbourne was built on a deficit. I turned to the sports section. *** TEDDY Baillieu (“I will increase
transparency and disclosure to break Labor’s culture of secrecy and deals”) has his Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission running. Well done Mr Premier. Nobody knows what investigations into “serious” corrupt conduct means, of course, but it looks good anyway. Secret hearings no doubt. Are we fools? *** HAVE just received a copy of Flinders Community News from handsome Greg Hunt MP, which I shall treasure. Nice; colourful.

I was pretty ordinary as a nipper and into my 50s, but now I’m reasonably presentable. *** ONE of life’s problems is when you are put in a situation where a galah rules the roost, like where one behaves in a manner above their station in life despite their job description. I recall during my National Service I was on a ship where they had a “Splice the Mainbrace” (free grog) day, but Monsieur Galah barred everyone. Only on our ship. A very unhappy crew. The word was they staged a small mutiny
in Japan after I left; it was hushed up. You come across them in the public service, too; heads are too big for their small brains. They promote authoritarianism, arbitrary punishment and inherent unfairness. They particularly survive in places like the Department of Human Services, Centrelink and the AFL. *** ASIO is responsible for security checks of refugees. Going on my experience, God help the refugees. Has ASIO got a file on me? Probably. Way back in the 1950s they had a file on Ginger Meggs, so the rumour goes. I had a cousin who worked for them, likely as a clerk but from his demeanour it was like James Bond without the females. They worked out of a building that nobody mentioned except everybody at Victoria Barracks. Or was it another rumour? Still, whichever way you look at it they’re more efficient than the Commonwealth Police. ASIO is now investigating environment activists apparently. That should keep them at bay for a time. *** SHADOW treasurer Joe Hockey is sprouting a welfare system closer to our Asian neighbours. Where will the savings go, Joe? To the 1% or to your

A Grain of Salt DO you ever get the feeling we’re being conned? Yes, it’s common to talk with people who have grudges; against Centrelink, politicians, immigrants, you name them. Closer examination results in their facts being arrived at by instinct, gossip and bias rather than knowledge and reason. Look back to the era when John Cain was our premier. There were no poker machines, no football betting, no GST. So how did governments manage in the light of the huge increases in income today, and yet there is a never-ending cry of cuts in services due to reaching their fantasy surplus? Who are these people who spend a lifetime thinking of ways to cut our income and increase theirs? No difference in federal politics. The Coalition and Labor both have razor gangs sifting through ways to cut our entitlements while they are munching on caviar and biscuits. *** WHERE exactly have you invested your money? If you don’t know, you should. Trio Capital in Wollongong lost $180 million; something about offshore investments and, presto, hundreds of people lose retirement nest eggs.

Mt Eliza mounts a challenge to top dogs By Toe Punt WE may have witnessed the next big thing in MPNFL Peninsula Division football on Sunday at Alexandra Park after Mt Eliza smashed Mornington by more than 100 points. In the most impressive and dominant quarter of football I have witnessed in recent memory, the Redlegs piled on 10 goals to a single behind in the opening term of the traditional clash. At that point, Mornington coach Josh Beard was left with little choice but to try and salvage what was left of the wreck. The margin was increased in the second and third quarters before Mornington outscored the Redlegs five goals to one in the final term. Mt Eliza has now comfortably won its two opening games against sides that were expected to be in the mix for a top five berth. Many people were looking for a side to challenge YCW, Karingal and Chelsea and there’s no question Mt Eliza is it. Its recruits were sensational, especially Sam Lloyd, who booted another big bag of goals. He had three in the first quarter and gave two away. The man is a magician. As well as going forward and kicking goals, Lloyd also gathered more than 25 touches playing through the midfield. Josh Norman, a tall midfielder,
had the ball on a string. Jack Cole dominated across half back, Ben Lean was clean through the middle, Dave Willett enjoyed being the third or fourth forward and Sam Gill led from the front in defence. Scott Simpson dominated in the ruck and around the ground, Rohan Heasley was under every pack and Dylan Emmons did a great job in defence. For Mornington, there wasn’t a lot to get excited about. Chris Paxino worked tirelessly, Keith O’Brien battled hard and Ryan Smith booted three goals in the last quarter. Frankston YCW remains the yardstick of the competition after holding on to win a thriller against Karingal on Saturday. In the Radio Port Phillip match of the round, the visitors stormed home in the final quarter, only to fall short by one straight kick against the reigning premiers. It was the first time in five seasons these two sides had clashed at Jubilee Park. Following an impressive Anzac Day service before the match, Frankston YCW looked intent on make in impression in front of its home crowd. In swirling, blustery conditions, the skill level of the match wasn’t great. In the first three quarters, Karingal uncharacteristically turned the footy over 39 times, which saw YCW leading by 24 points at three-quarter time.
The Bulls were getting the ball inside their attacking 50, but just couldn’t penetrate the Stonecats’ defence, led by Dale Carroll, Anthony Barry and the best player on the park, Rhys Johnson. In the final term, Karingal was able to move the ball forward more rapidly, allowing their fleet-footed midfield and forwards to get hands on the footy. For the match, Karingal entered its 50-metre zone on 53 occasions, compared to YCW’s 51. The Bulls got within five points in time-on in the last quarter and had an opportunity to hit the front, but the Stonecats were composed, controlled the footy in the last four minutes and won the game. Michael Chaplin was outstanding for YCW with four of the team’s seven goals, while Ash Eames was superb as the solo ruckman. Bevan Malloy was clearly Karingal’s best, closely followed by Justin Peckett and Michael Burke. Controversy surrounded the result of the Langwarrin and Pines match at Eric Bell Reserve on Saturday. With a minute left, the Kangas were awarded a holding the ball free kick, when many believed should have been a head-high decision awarded to the Pythons. Unsure exactly which player the free quick was awarded to, the Pythons defender sought clarification, but was penalised for time wasting. The
subsequent 50-metre penalty put the Kangas in the goal square and the goal put them in front. Moments later, the siren sounded, handing Langwarrin a two-point victory. Langwarrin was one point down at three-quarter time. They were undermanned, going in without Jon Hay, Paul Wheatley and Jarryd Amalfi. The Kangas had 27 scoring shots to Pines’ 20. There were two debutants for the Kangas, 16-year-old Jake Smith, who kicked a goal in the second quarter, and Alex Reid. Daniel Wehner, Mark McGill and Michael Parker led the way for the Kangas through the middle of the ground, while Andrew Borrie made the most of his promotion and was one of the best players. Dale Eames was good in attack for the Kangas with three goals. Guy Hendry was the most productive player in attack for Pines with four majors, while Chris Guganovic and David Marguglio led from the front. The Pythons are winless after two matches, while the Kangas now sit at one win from two matches. Seaford bounced back from its onegoal loss to Mornington in round one by knocking over Bonbeach by 15 points. Brayden Irving dominated for the Tigers over four quarters while
Michael Kraska made it 12 goals in two matches with another six. Bonbeach started in superb fashion, booting five goals to one with the aid of the wind, before the Tigers bounced back with seven goals to one in the second. Scoring was tough in the second hour, both sides adding just five majors. It was the second quarter onslaught of the Tigers that won the game. Dean Kemble and Liam Davenport were important players for the Tigers and Rory Luxton was also a fine contributor. Dale Donkin finished with three goals for the Sharks and Jackson Casey, Tom Payton and Josh O’Bree all impressed.

Sorras’ dominance over Blues Words Toe Punt, Pictures Andrew Hurst SORRENTO remains the king of the MPNFL Nepean Division mountain after smashing Hastings by 38 points on Saturday in the grand final rematch. Both were undefeated coming into the game, the Sharks beating Dromana and Somerville, and the Blues with wins over Rosebud and Crib Point. It was neck and neck in the first hour, with just one point separating the sides at the major interval. The run of Sorrento was always going to be a concern for the Blues late in the game, as the Sharks were coming off a 14-day break. Having played its round two game against Dromana on Easter Saturday, Sorrento had an extra week’s break. This gave the likes of Trevor Mattison (hand), Leigh Treeby (hamstring) and skipper Benny McCormack (hamstring) the opportunity to recover for this all-important game. The Blues went into the match without the suspended Mick Haddad and Steven Hull, both getting two weeks after the Rosebud game. Sorrento has the ability to turn a game on its head within minutes. On Saturday at Thomas Barclay Reserve in Hastings, that explosion took place in the third quarter. With five goals each at half-time, the Sharks came out in the third and booted eight goals to two. At three-quarter time, the game was effectively over as the Sharks had a 41-point break. The visitors may have lost a gun ‘ranga’ (red head) in Josh Stephenson, but they have been fortunate to replace him with another with a similar complexion and hair colour in Dalton Sanderson. Sanderson booted five goals and was one of the key differences between the sides. Treeby also was super with three goals and the defence, led by Guy Stringer and Chris Bagot, kept the Blues’ forwards under control. Hastings coach Glenn Michie and Grant Masterson each kicked three goals, but they didn’t have massive influences on the game. Sorrento tall Jon Croad is arguably the most improved player in the competition in the past 12 months and his contribution as a pinch-hitter in the ruck and in defence was significant. Adam Jago continues to get better for the Blues and by season’s end, he’s going to be a dominant performer. Mark Deveraux has also proved to be a good recruit and Colin McVeigh continues to be a star of the competition.
The Blues have some ground to make up. It’s only round three, but a six-goal loss on home turf against the side that beat you in the 2011 grand final is cause for concern. A best-on-ground display from Crib Point coach Dave Lawson saw his side defeat Frankston Bombers at Greg Beck Oval. Lawson, who used to be one of the best forward-midfielders in the game, booted seven goals was the Magpies won by seven points. Since taking the coaching job with the Pies a few seasons back, Lawson has played predominantly as a midfielder, spending less time in attack. On Saturday, his ventures into the scoring zone proved to be the key difference. After the game, the Bombers were ruing opportunities wasted in the second quarter. Kicking with the wind, the Bombers managed 6.8 while the Pies were able to convert three of six opportunities. At half-time, the margin was 11 points in favour of the home side. The Pies kicked clear in the third, thanks largely to Lawson, who booted three goals in 10 minutes, while Waide Symes finished with three majors. Sam Austin played one of his best games in years for the black and white, and Matt Jackson continues to prove he is one of the recruits of the season. While Lawson and Symes booted 10 of the 16 goals, the Pies had another six goal kickers. The Bombers were always going to come charging in the final term, but for the second time in three matches, Cribby was able to hold its nerve, dig deep, show enormous resolve and strong character, and get the points. Teenager Michael Maorino with three goals was the best of the Bombers, while Shaun Wilkey and James Degenhardt were again among the best. Bombers coach Tony Blackford said he was getting sick and tired of the roller coaster ride his side was taking him on. “When our backs are to the wall, we tend to come out fighting, but we just can’t seem to find consistency,” Blackford said. “Take nothing away from Crib Point though, they came to play, they were up and about and excited, and went home with the result. “Plugger [Lawson] was awesome. He was at his vintage best playing as a forward. We played three blokes on him and couldn’t stop him.” Conversely, problems continue with the form of recruit Brad Wakeling, who
again had zero impact as a forward. “He’s struggling, no doubt about that,” Blackford said. “We put him [Wakeling] back at one point and sent Shaun Brand forward and that worked for us. It’s something we might need to look at.” In better news for the Bombers, recruits Leigh Bidey and Dean Wagner were among the best in the reserves. Blackford said Wagner was “exceptional”. Rosebud had to overcome a slow start to defeat Tyabb in a highly entertaining game. The Buds trailed by 27 points at quarter time and by nine points at halftime, before kicking seven goals to two in the second half to win by 31 points. It was a dominant display by the Buds in the second hour, Ryan Spooner, Greg Bentley and Rhys Bancroft all getting on top through the middle of the ground. While the Buds have some outstanding upper echelon talent in the team, it’s unheralded players such as Mitch Wells and Jamie Clarke who continue to get the job done. Along with the likes of Jack Jarman, Reece Woods and Cody Mulcair, it is the improvement and development of these players over the past couple of years that has seen Rosebud enjoy a good start to the season. There was no Daniel Giarusso for Rosebud on Saturday, which made the win even more impressive. The Yabbies were totally outgunned in the second half. Scott Pickersgill continued to rebound off half back and Jake Anderson worked hard, but there weren’t many other stand out performers for the home side. One positive was the performance of Josh Morhun, who played his first game of the season. Former Rosebud player Robbie Beswick may have regretted his decision to leave the Buds for the Yabbies in the off-season. He had little influence on the match. Tyabb coach Brad Coller said he was disappointed with his side’s second half: “The teams completely changed their output in the second half. I thought Rosebud was down in the first half and we were up and about. In the second half, it was the opposite. “We should have been five goals up at half-time but gave away three goals through mistakes. The opposition was good enough to make us pay. “Rosebud was great in the second half and we were average.” Coller refused to lay blame for losses on the half a dozen injuries to key players. Tyabb is missing through injury Tavis
Brown, Stuart Bell, Kade Anderson, Rowan McGrath, Josh Milburn and Ash Souter. They lost Tim McGrath on Saturday with rib damage. “All pre-season we worked on our structures and I guess when you have so many injuries to key position players, the structures are compromised,” Coller said. “However, I’m not sure the injuries have an influence on our mental toughness and that lacked a bit on Saturday.” Dromana proved that it had taken the next step in its development this season, easily accounting for Red Hill at Red Hill showgrounds. In what many predicted would be a danger game for the Tigers, they came out firing in the first quarter, gave themselves a 32-point buffer and won by 36 points. While the scoreline suggested Dromana was only able to extend its quarter time lead by four points at the end, the Hillmen were never really in the contest on the scoreboard. The Tigers’ ability to share the work is where the improvement has come in the past two seasons. Dromana had nine goal kickers on Saturday, Steven Gaertner and Ryan Hawkins the chief contributors with three goals each, while Anthony Bruin has become the third string to the bow, booting a couple. Finding a genuine full-back in Jay Neratzoglou has been a significant difference for the Tigers and the form of Paul Minchington and Toby Banks has been exceptional. David Teasdale and Jarryd Douglas
managed to boot three goals each for Red Hill. The week off last week gave the Tigers the opportunity to have a look at the Hillmen, which gave them the chance to lay eyes on David Maplestone. He booted two goals but was kept under wraps. Luke Adams was again the Hillmen’s best, and Joe Krieger and Ben McGuinness were again among the better players. Dromana has two wins from three matches, its only loss coming against Sorrento on Easter Saturday. After squaring the win-loss ledger against Devon Meadows last week, the Hillmen are now behind at 1-2. Dromana coach Gavin Artico said after the match it was “always nice to come away from Red Hill with a win”. “The weather never seems to be great when we go to Red Hill and it does make it tough, hard footy,” he said. “I was very pleased with our start. To have nine goals kicked against you in the first game of the year against Sorrento, and then bounce back with nine against Pearcedale and six against Red Hill was pleasing. “The key for us is to develop an even spread of contributors and I think we are getting close to that. “Our depth is very good, there are some name players in the reserves and the young ones coming up are holding their own and contributing to the team. “We are a lot less predictable and harder to match-up on if we have blokes popping up and doing their bit every week.”
