5974 9000 or email: team@mpnews.com.au www.mpnews.com.au DANCING schools say authorities determining rules for their reopening on Monday 22 June are out of step with the industry. More than 170 dance schools are lobbying the Premier Daniel Andrews to let them save a say in regulations being drafted by the Department of Health and Human Services which they say is based on recommendations from the Australian Institute of Sport. Australian Academy of Dance director Mike Harrison-Lamond said dance studio owners said the AIS was “not our governing body, nor do they have an understanding of our industry”. He said requiring four square metres a person, 20 people in each enclosed space and no more than 10 people for each activity “is causing mass confusion throughout the industry”. Mr Harrison-Lamond said dance schools wanted to remove the 10-person restriction and limit numbers to 20 with the four square metres a person rule. He said it would be uneconomic to limit dance to schools to 10 people “regardless of how big a space is”.
Dance teachers want to lead in their next step

Shire’s ‘ugly’ Sorry Day decision Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au ON National Sorry Day, Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors rejected adopting an Aboriginal name for the $50 million aquatic centre being built at Rosebud. Another public consultation process “targeted” at peninsula residents will now be undertaken with five suggested names, including three Aboriginal words. However, the final decision will be made by councillors with the delay costing ratepayers an estimated $200,000.
The names on the list are: Gunawarra Aquatic Centre; Rosebud Aquatic Centre; Barbawar Aquatic Centre; Yawa Aquatic Centre; and Tides Aquatic Centre. Gunawarra means black swan, barbawar stingray and yawa to swim. Cr David Gill said council’s reluctance to vote at its Tuesday 26 May meeting “came about because some councillors seemed to believe that they would not get the name they wanted”. Not taking the opportunity to endorse an Aboriginal name “has brought an element into council that I never thought would happen”, he said. He saw the decision to not vote on
a name as being especially shameful for the council because it came on National Sorry Day on the eve of National Reconciliation Week. Cr Gill said some shire officers who had contacted him “had wanted to quit … they were enraged and disgusted, absolutely disgusted”. “I felt like I didn’t want to be there; I felt like quitting,” Cr Gill said. “[Councillors] don’t always agree, and we don’t always get it right. All councils have the good, the bad, and the ugly. This was the ugly. With council elections due later this year, Cr Gill sees “the push” for an anglicised name “having more to do with a local Rosebud lobby group than

any principles involved in the naming process”. “There is an overwhelming abundance of English place names [on the peninsula]. This was an opportunity to line up our often-stated acknowledgment and the paying of respect to our first people’s culture with action as outlined in council’s recently adopted Reconciliation Action Plan.” Cr Gill said that in the lead-up to last week’s meeting “several councillors began an email blitz advocating for the aquatic centre to be named Rosebud, where it is located”. He said there had previously been general agreement that the aquatic centre was for the entire peninsula “and that an iconic stand-alone name
was preferable to a localised commonly used name”. Cr Hugh Fraser, who seconded the motion by Cr Antonella Celi to again undertake public consultation and not adopt the shire officer’s recommendation to name the aquatic centre Gunawarra, said there was no legal obstacle “to deny our community or this council the right to consider the name Rosebud Aquatic Centre as one of a number of possible names”. Cr Fraser said the name Gunawarra was “arrived at through an internal process which relied on incorrect verbal advice from an unnamed public servant. Management filtered out all references to Rosebud and Peninsula”.

With Stephen Taylor
Not back to normal – yet MORNINGTON Senior Sergeant Paul Edwards said the relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions was “not the time to think everything’s back to normal”. “People still need to be aware of the numbers allowed at gatherings and events and to make sure they keep to 1.5 metre distancing,” he said. In a sign that many people think the danger has passed, parents have begun registering their children’s upcoming parties with the station. “People will still need to use commonsense and to check the Department of Human Services’ guidelines to ensure they know what is and isn’t allowed.” Senior Sergeant Edwards said police were happy with the way peninsula residents had conducted themselves during the pandemic, and that sensible behaviour meant “less than five” fines were issued to those flouting the rules. The danger has not passed, however. “If we see people blatantly flouting the rules they will still receive $1652 fines,” he said. “People around here have been responsible and we hope that continues.”
Men arrested POLICE found more than expected when they searched a car during a routine intercept in a Mornington
and the other bailed to reappear at a later date. Senior Sergeant Paul Edwards said the arrests were the result of “vigilant police work”.

street, 3.40am, Tuesday 26 May. They allegedly found a sawn-off double barrel shotgun and quantities of the drug methyl-amphetamine, or ice. Two Mornington men aged 32 and 24 were arrested and charged with possessing a modified firearm and possessing a drug of dependence. They appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court where one was further remanded
A MAN allegedly stole two bottles of alcohol from a Hastings bottle shop, 9.30pm, Friday 15 May. Police said he walked out of the bottle shop on Church Street without making any attempt to pay for them. The man is described as being in his late 20s, of medium height and weight, with short, dark hair and wearing a tan hoodie, black skinny jeans, white shoes and carrying a black bag. Anyone with information is urged to contact Hastings police 5970 7800 or Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report at crimestoppersvic.com.au
Speedster off road THE driver of a Mercedes allegedly driving at 171kph in Dromana on the weekend had his car impounded for 30 days for a cost of $1335. Somerville Highway Patrol police said they spotted the black Mercedes Benz AMG A45 on Dunns Creek Road, Sunday 24 May, travelling at more than twice the 80kph limit. The 71-year-old driver, from the ACT, will be summonsed to appear at court at a later date over a range of driving offences.

Ferry terminal grant a ‘great first step’ THE state government has given $5 million towards the $22 million redevelopment of the ferry precinct at Sorrento. Nepean MP Chris Brayne said finance for the redevelopment – part of a $40 million upgrade to the Queenscliff to Sorrento ferry service – includes $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 improved public amenities and access for visitors, and half to the shire for pedestrian and roadworks connecting it to Point Nepean Road. Work will start early next year with the complete project, including work at the Queenscliff terminal, scheduled to be finished by 2023. The mayor Cr Sam Hearn said the government’s grant was a “great first step in realising the potential of this important transport and tourism link”. “We have been working closely with Searoad Ferries CEO Matt McDonald and advocating to the state government for financial support to be able to commence stage one of this initiative,” he said. “The timing … is really pleasing as it will be a major boost to our economic recovery efforts as we transition out of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Mr McDonald said the upgrade would “benefit the Sorrento community with improved amenity … and complement the work being undertaken in Queenscliff to create a world class, iconic tourism and transport precinct that connects both terminal

the whole of the Mornington Peninsula, welcomes this project that we have been waiting for over many years. “The project will deliver a world class facility for our wonderful ferry service with accessibility for all patrons.” Stephen Taylor

Caring for our community during Coronavirus
Getting through this together To protect our community the Mornington Peninsula Shire is taking measures to reduce the risk of spread of COVID-19. We would like to thank our community for respecting the restrictions that have been placed upon us all and for thinking of others during these challenging times. For the latest updates, including Easy Read facts sheets, visit: mornpen.vic.gov.au/coronavirus
What you can do from 1 June The next stage in the gradual easing of restrictions by the Victorian Government has come into effect throughout the state as of 11:59pm on Sunday 31 May. Physical distancing and gathering rules still apply at all times. The Shire’s libraries will be open from 9 June to collect reserved books only. The Briars, some community facilities, parks, playgrounds, skate parks, sporting fields and Pelican Park indoor pool can now open subject to restrictions and modifications. For a full run-down on the status of Shire services and facilities, please visit: mornpen.vic.gov.au/coronavirus Further information regarding these changes is available on the Victorian Government’s DHHS website at: dhhs.vic.gov.au/victoriasrestriction-levels-covid-19
Additional cleansing in our community A new street cleansing blitz has begun on the Mornington Peninsula thanks to teams of displaced workers who lost their jobs due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Funded by the state government, the new workforce is delivering disinfecting services to support the Shire’s existing cleaning regime. Together both teams will help set our community up for success as restrictions ease and our public spaces become busier. Popular areas and communal touch points such as public seating, bike hoops, playground equipment, bins, pedestrian signal buttons, handrails, street furniture and bus shelters will get extra cleansing and disinfecting seven days a week over the coming weeks.
Have your say Draft Positive Ageing Strategy – closes 5pm 26 June Mornington Peninsula Shire has developed the new draft Positive Ageing Strategy 2020 – 2025 to support all of us to live and age well on the Peninsula.

Stay the course While restrictions are easing around Victoria and our community is enjoying a return to many activities that have been off limits for many weeks, it is important to remember that we must still maintain physical distancing rules. It is wonderful that we can re-connect with family and friends in person, get back to sporting activities and visit our favourite places, however at all times we must • stay 1.5 metres apart • continue to practice good hand hygiene • and stay at home if you are unwell.
Back to school After many weeks of online learning at home, Victorian students are moving back to their classrooms! What a thrill it will be for them to see everyone again. We’d like to congratulate all our amazing teachers, students and families for the massive effort involved and the dedication and resilience you have shown. You will always remember it! For everyone’s safety, please make sure the 40km/h speed limits around schools during drop-off and pick-up times are strictly obeyed.

‘Locals only’ rule for beach boxes Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au
WHILE new regulations are being contemplated for beach boxes on the Mornington Peninsula, several at Mount Martha Beach North bear the marks of neglect and the weather. Backed by crumbling cliffs, several of the beach boxes are leaning or sagging on their stumps, while grey one, above, has a broken asbestos roof. Parts of the roof and eaves, right, are lying in the sand. The beach box is one of many on the peninsula to contain asbestos (“Attractions could be fatal” The News 27/4/20).
JO * IN $ IN 0 G FE E!
NEW regulations proposed for beach boxes will eventually see their ownership restricted to Mornington Peninsula residents or ratepayers. At present, licence renewals for 56 per cent of the 820 beach boxes managed by Mornington Peninsula Shire are sent to addresses outside of the municipality. New regulations proposed by the shire aim to bring beach box ownership back to the peninsula and also limit the number of licences to one a person. Cr David Gill said owning property on the peninsula was a requirement for beach box licences “until recent decades”, making the change “a renewal of a lapsed policy”. He said the “broadened eligibility helped put the licence sale price out of reach of many locals who may have wished to own a licence”. The proposed changes, to be phased in by 2025, also state there will be no extra land made available for beach boxes. Although seen as “an iconic part of the peninsula’s makeup”, Cr Gill said they “decrease public use of crown land, this is not state government policy. He said beach boxes was seen as an investment “which makes the rice of them even higher”. “We should not be encouraging private use of public land as an investment bought by the highest bidder,” Cr Gill said. Beach boxes on the peninsula had also been advertised as weekend rentals, “with some going for $1000 a weekend”, he said. “It seems to me that selling licences on the private market is unfair to our ratepayers unless the licence fee is also based on the market rate. “Our ratepayers contribute about $6 million a year for the upkeep of our foreshore.
“I believe we should keep our existing beach boxes but, unfortunately, the attitude that has developed seems to be one of a right rather than a privilege to have a licence. “We had the situation recently where one beach box licence was sold for $1 million, more than the total for all shire income from licence fees. “This is out of kilter with community expectations, especially when we are debating a luxury item, admittedly often well loved, but still not a necessity. “I do not believe that the sense of entitlement by some licensees Is shared by the 99 per cent of our ratepayers who not only do not own a beach box but contribute $6 million to our foreshores.” The mayor Sam Hearn said the existing Boatshed and Bathing Box Policy was adopted in November 2000, “so it’s fair to say it was due for a review and refresh”. He said the “updated draft policy aims to protect and improve coastal land for the benefit of all users, including boatshed and bathing box licensees”. Other changes proposed include: n A ban on any more beach boxes to be built and no increase in size for existing ones; n Licence holders must have public liability insurance of $20 million; n Existing water and sewerage connections must be disconnected; n Graffiti must be removed within 14 days (or earlier if offensive); n If licences are surrendered to council the bathing box will be demolished and the site opened for the public; n The shire can sell licences cancelled through non-compliance with regulations. Community consultation closes 19 June and can be made at mornpen.vic.gov.au/haveyoursay.27/4/20.

Meow to a better life ONE female cat and her offspring can produce 40,000 cats in their lifetimes. More than a quarter of a million healthy cats and dogs are put down in Australia every year because there are not enough homes for them. Not for profit organisation Meow Rescue is hoping to make a dent in those statistics. Its volunteers, most living on the Mornington Peninsula, rescue cats and kittens and are “passionate about making change in the lives of unwanted cats, kittens and our community”. “We stand for rescue, rehabilitate and rehome,” Committee member Kelly Davidson said. “All rescue cats are cared for by our team of foster carers in their own homes. “We advocate for de-sexing and promote responsible pet ownership, animal welfare and non-kill solutions.” Meow’s kittens and cats are vet checked, wormed, treated for fleas, de-sexed, microchipped and vaccinated before going on to their “puuurfect” home. Ms Davidson said a Last-Litter program for cat owners was part of an “ethical approach to reducing the numbers of unwanted cats”. “This entails the pet owner surrendering the entire litter to us and, in return, we de-sex the kittens’ mother at no cost,” she said. Cranbourne-based Meow and Friends Community Vet will hold its first assisted de-sexing day on the 6 June. For $50 a cat will be de-sexed, vaccinated and microchipped. Details: meowandfriendsvet@gmail.com
Restrictions eased but caution required
Clarification VETS on the Mornington Peninsula are regulated as to what they can and cannot do with stray animals. The Domestic Animals Act of Victoria stipulates that cats and dogs brought to vets as strays must be handed over to the council if the vet has not signed what is called an 84Y agreement. Vets working outside the agreement can be fined if they are caught checking an animal’s microchip or contacting its owners. Those within the agreement can retain, dispose of, or return cats or dogs to their owners. The veterinary clinic referred to in the article on Neil the cat was not the Rye Vet Clinic in Point Nepean Road (“Loss of cat means loss of confidence in pound” The News 26/5/20).

IT seemed as though the Mornington Peninsula became active again last Tuesday with the state government further easing COVID-19 restrictions. Playgrounds, skate parks, outdoor gym equipment and park equipment, such as furniture and barbecues, were reopened for up to 10 people, with the number expanding to 20 from 11.59pm on Sunday. Libraries, youth centres and other community facilities were given the go ahead to open with 20 people in a single area that complies with social distancing rules; men’s sheds and arts and crafts classes can resume; entertainment and cultural venues, such as galleries, museums, drive-in cinemas and historic sites can open, and swimming pools can open with up to 20 people and extra safety requirements in place. Community sporting activities are also be permitted with up to 20 people in undivided spaces, provided the sport is outdoors, non-competitive, non-contact, and people are able to play 1.5 metres apart. The mayor Cr Sam Hearn said the easing of restrictions was a sign of “slowly and cautiously heading in the right direction”. “If we stay the course and do the right thing, there’ll be more announcements on 22 June that will see a further easing of restrictions – something we’re all looking forward to.” The gradual easing of restrictions was encouraging for local businesses and, in particular, the tourism and hospitality sectors. “In the meantime, I remind everyone that we still need to remain vigilant and cautious and to observe the social distancing rules and practice good hygiene.” In other signs of easing, non-food and drink market stalls can open, and overnight stays can resume at private houses and in tourist accommodation. Campgrounds and caravan parks can open but with communal facilities closed. The shire camping season is proposed to reopen in October. Up to 20 people are allowed at weddings plus the celebrant and couple; up to 50 are allowed at funerals, plus those conducting the ceremony, and up to 20 are allowed at religious ceremonies, plus those performing the service. Outdoor gatherings can have 20 people and 20 people can be inside a home which, for a family of four, means 16 visitors. Those able to work from home must keep working from home until at least the end of June. Details: mornpen.vic.gov. au/coronavirus

STAYING SAFE KEEPS US TOGETHER Thank You Victoria. While some restrictions have eased, limiting our movement everyday means everything. It means we slow the spread of the virus. If we keep working from home and we limit the number of us moving around, we can keep kicking a footy in the park. If we use common sense and keep our distance, we can visit cafes and restaurants. And if we only see those we need to, we’ll keep our friends and families safe. We all have a part to play. It’s up to all of us to make this work.

Border keepers call for baywatch help Stephen Taylor steve@mpnews.com.au BORDER Watch officers have asked Mornington Yacht Club members to “look out for anything suspicious when [they are] out on the bay”. Club office manager Sarah Grant said the Border Watch officers appeared to be focusing on public boat ramps. “They were not after anything specific and they were in and out [of here]
very quickly,” she said. The club regarded the advice as “general information for members”. The visit was part of a general sweep of the bay’s boat ramps. Officers handed out leaflets headed “Small craft border crime – Know the Flags” which said criminals “may attempt to use small craft to bring drugs, illegal tobacco, weapons and dangerous chemicals into Australia”. They referred to “suspicious” ves-
sels as those anchored or operating in unusual areas; meeting other vessels at sea; displaying unusual draughts; not displaying navigation lights; going out in bad weather; returning to dock in a damaged condition or with scrape marks on their hulls; or those with unusual modifications. Boaters were urged to alert Border Watch officers of “skippers or crews inquiring about Australian Border Force, police or other law enforce-
Parking fine remains A MOTORIST who copped an $85 fine for parking in a space reserved for boat trailers at Safety Beach may have to pay up. Warren Renton said he had been unaware that the area near the Safety Beach boat ramp was off limits for vehicles not towing a trailer. He said the trailers-only car park at the boat ramp was more often than not empty during the week while parking spaces outside the shops opposite were in short supply (“Fine time not had by all” The News 26/5/20). The nearest side street has limited parking. Mr Renton, who lives at Safety Beach, said there was only one no-parking sign in the car-and-trailer parking area. “I checked the other signs in the carpark, and there is no mention of fines being issued within the car parking area,” he said. “This is totally inadequate, considering that the shire is conducting random raids to catch unsuspecting motorists parked there. As far as I am concerned it [the sign] doesn’t clearly state anything.”
ment activities, or those lacking local knowledge or unable to operate their boats properly”. They were asked to “be on the lookout for unusual radio activity, such as cryptic radio messages or vessels not responding to radio contact; unusual objects at sea or washed up on shore, or hidden campsites or fuel dumps on beaches or in remote areas”. A spokesperson said Australian Border Force officers “routinely undertake
land and sea patrols to ensure the integrity of the … border, including on the Mornington Peninsula and the Port of Hastings”. “These patrols include interactions with other vessels, boating and yacht clubs, and will include providing information and education about Border Watch.” The Border Watch number for reporting “anything suspicious” is 1800 06 1800.
Team approach to check COVID-19
The shire’s environment protection manager John Rankine confirmed the boat ramp parking area on Marine Drive, opposite Victoria Street, was set aside for vehicles and trailers. Drivers of single vehicles parking there were “committing an offence and liable for an infringement notice – regardless of the level of occupancy of the car park” – as the no-parking sign indicates it is reserved for vehicles with trailers. However, Mr Rankine allowed that: “Shire officers may use their discretion on occasions based on occupancy levels and the likelihood of the car park becoming closer to capacity.” With the relaxing of COVID-19 restrictions around recreational boating and fishing there has been a significant increase in demand for boat ramp car parks, Mr Rankine said. “The shire has an obligation to ensure these areas are enforced so vehicles with trailers can park without the risk of the carpark being full.” Stephen Taylor
TEN five-person teams are out disinfecting “communal touch points” throughout the Mornington Peninsula to lessen the spread of COVID-19. The teams are being paid for by the state government through Citywide, a “physical services company” and work in conjunction with the shire’s Clean Team. The teams are cleaning public seating, bike hoops, playground equipment, bins, pedestrian signal buttons, handrails, street furniture and bus shelters. “This was a quick turnaround initiative of the government to support our community in feeling safe and secure in public and provide some additional support to council and business as restrictions are eased,” the mayor Cr Sam Hearn said. “This extra cleansing and disinfecting service by Citywide is additional to our own Clean Team that patrols high profile areas and focuses on cleaning and picking up street litter. Together, both teams will help set our community up for success as restrictions ease and our public spaces become busier.” The shire is one of 27 municipalities where Citywide teams have been sent under the state’s $500 million Working for Victoria program which matches people who have lost their jobs, including those affected by the economic impacts of COVID-19, with employers who need staff.

Opposition joins calls to delay AGL process Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au
Sign against gas plan
THE state opposition has waded into the debate over the time being given for the public to comment on an environmental effects statement prepared by AGL for a gas import terminal at Crib Point. “The potential consequences of a decision to locate this toxic industry at Crib Point, are too great to allow such an important part of the process to proceed at a time when our community is in the middle of dealing with a world wide virus pandemic,” Hastings MP Neale Burgess said. AGL’s environmental effects statement (EES) for its proposed floating gas terminal and a 56 kilometre pipeline to Pakenham is now being reviewed by the Department for Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP) before being released for public exhibition and comment. Community group Save Westernport and Environment Victoria have also called on Mr Wynne to delay release of the EES for public comment (“Fairness call for AGL decision” The News 12/5/20). Mr Burgess last week quoted from a 9 October 2018 media release in which Mr Wynne stated “we owe it to the community and the environment to get this right and ensure this proposal is rigorously analysed by the most thorough environmental and cultural assessment tool available in the state”. “I don’t believe this project should
A COLOURFUL sign woven into the fence at Crib Point clearly showed power company AGL is not welcomed by all at Crib Point. Although colourful and eye-catching the “No AGL” sign on the fence around the site of the proposed gas terminal and jetty was removed within one day. Don Juniper who photographed the sign before its removal, said he was “shocked to see the extent of the clearing, which I had heard that they had done previously”. The Save Westernport community group wants the state government to delay consideration of AGL’s environmental effects statement (EES) until after the COVID-19 emergency. ever have been considered for Crib Point, as it will just serve to once again, encourage thinking of this beautiful area as a potential location for toxic industrial development,” Mr Burgess said. “The Crib Point community has fought long and hard to stop people thinking about their home as an industrial zone and the Andrews Labor government owes them at the very least, a properly run process, not hidden behind an event that is
demanding the full attention of every one of us. “The public exhibition of the AGL EES must be postponed and a reasonable extension of time granted for public scrutiny and submissions.” Mr Burgess said he had told Mr Wynne in a letter that it would be unfair “for a government that is restricting the movement of people to, at the same time, conduct a process calling for their participation”.
“AGL has had nearly two years to prepare their study, while it is proposed that the community should have just four weeks to respond and through online submissions.” Save Westernport’s steering committee last month said it was “essential that the Mr Wynne remains beyond the influence of AGL”. “By making use of his discretionary powers, he can ensure that the EES does not proceed in a way that
is rushed or that appears to give the proponent an advantage. “Compromising the effectiveness of the EES to accommodate the proponent would be highly inappropriate, particularly if it incorporates new untried methods that could be seen to discourage community involvement or that limit the effectiveness of their contribution. “No precedent exists for an EES to be held only online.”

Centenarians have Village Glen celebrating IN May two residents who live at Village Glen were widely celebrated as they enjoyed their centurion birthdays. What an amazing achievement, even COVID19 couldn’t dampen the social distancing celebrations that were had! Col turned 100 on the 8th of May and has a wonderful story to tell alongside his beautiful wife Joy. Col fought for Australia in the Navy in the Second World War and on his return, he started his life with Joy. He has had many and varied passions over the years including working as a motor mechanic for his father, a chicken farmer, building his family homes, a keen sailor, a woodworker and he loved travelling the country in his caravan. He was a cricketer in his younger days and then a golfer, and always barracks hard for his muchloved Hawthorn Football Club. Maie turned 100 on the 19th of May and was driven around in style in an open top antique Mercedes Benz through her home at Village Glen. Alongside her late husband Harold, Maie’s life has been packed full. As a keen golfer, a big achievement for Maie was a hole-in-one in 1971, she was also a competitive walker and an all-round adventurer. Maie took up photography and captured all her trips such as the times Maie and Harold travelled on their boat. Maie climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge for her 80th Birthday, setting the pace for her family. Both Maie and Col have wonderful stories to tell and have lived every minute of their 100 years.

Doubtful that pool inspections will reduce drownings The state government’s concern over the number of infant drownings in home swimming pools and the requirement for safety fencing is justified and appropriate (“New pool rules next month” The News 18/5/20). When our pool was built and approved in 2000, Mornington Peninsula Shire Council required the design and construction of our enclosure to be compliant with the law as part of the domestic building permit process. The enclosure was inspected and approved before our pool was filled and used. It is surprising for pool owners that council is repeating the process for existing and compliant pools. Firstly, an existing pool has to be re-registered with the shire at a cost of $79 – for which the owner receives confirmation of the original construction date, building permit, and the enclosure standard in force at that time. The owner is then required to pay for an inspection of the enclosure for compliance with the original standard the current standard. The shire provides no details of local inspection agencies, so an on-line search is necessary, but unrewarding. We checked with one agency which quoted $450 to inspect our fence and access gate and an extra $150 if another inspection was required to validate work done to restore compliance. This would result in a new certificate of compliance being sent to the shire at a further cost of $20.40. This entire process is to be repeated every four years. We have kept our pool fencing in good repair since 2000. I guess there will be a very few cases where previously compliant fencing has fallen into disrepair and a few people who will say that if you can afford a pool you can afford the fees. In our view, this is a waste of money which is unlikely to much reduce the number of
accidental drownings.
Rob Fincher, McCrae
Thanks for the news Thank you to all the team at the Mornington Peninsula News group for continuing to publish community newspapers in this difficult time. While local papers are closing down all over Australia, you have kept going in what must be challenging circumstances. Apart from loving the rather vigorous debate in the Letters column, without you we would not know about issues like the attempts to protect local kangaroos through the virtual fencing or be kept up to date about what our local council is doing. I hope you continue to keep us informed about local issues for a long time to come. Marg D’Arcy, Rye
Do the maths This editor’s footnote piqued my interest: “The mayor Cr Sam Hearn and CEO John Baker have both elected to take a cut in their respective ‘pays’ from the shire” (“Modern methods mean council elections can be held” Letters 19/5/20). It’s not really intended as a criticism, but the remuneration of both gentlemen was not referred to, nor was the amount or percentage of “the cut” reported. For example, the mayor and the CEO may be on salaries of $500,000 a year each. If they intend to take a 20 per cent cut then your readers can do the mathematics. Conversely, if they intend to take a 1 per cent pay cut then again your readers can do the mathematics. You have reported that [Cr Sam] Hearn and [John] Baker “intend” to take a pay cut. Has this cut commenced and, if not, when do they intend
the cut to commence? And, for how long will their self imposed cut last for or conclude. For all we know, both gentlemen are in receipt of $500,000 salaries each and they will sacrifice 2.75 per cent of their income commencing from Monday 24 August 2020. If you don’t ask the questions, you will never know the answers. Even if Hearn and Baker refused to provide you with that information, shouldn’t you ask them why and, if they persist in not disclosing the information you seek, report exactly what the pair of them said? Peter Gerard Eddy, Hastings Editor: The available details were provided in the article “Budget blown by pandemic” published elsewhere in the same edition of The News.
Support for refugees How good is the support provided by voluntary groups and individuals in our community? They are numerous, but some examples are the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre, Refugee Council of Australia, Refugee Action Coalition, Rural Australians for Refugees, SisterWorks, Grandmothers for Refugees and various religious groups. They have offered their support and advocacy over many years and continue despite the COVID-19 restrictions and the barriers of government migration policies. Refugees and asylum seekers continue to live among us in our community and in detention. Many remain in detention centres and motels in Australia, on Christmas Island, in Port Moresby and at Manus Island. Many have been in detention for seven years without hope of an end to their captivity. Many are living in our community, for years, without financial or medical support except that provided by voluntary groups. As an Australian, I am proud and grateful to all those organisations and individuals who offer their time, expertise and money to support refugees. Their voices, and the voices of those who are experiencing detention, ensure that the stories and experiences of refugees are told, and their plight made known.
The strength of our civil society is what keeps our Australian values safe. Our federal government continues to maintain and finance an unfair and cruel regime in our name and with our money. We demand justice and a better deal for those who came to this country seeking safety. Ann Renkin, Shoreham
Back to ‘normal’ Because of the pandemic and to please retailers, I acquired a “tap and go” debit card, linked to our savings account and containing little more than our pension. Previously, we always dealt in cash, withdrawing sufficient each week and keeping it in wallet or purse. Pay as you go and when it’s gone it’s gone. Perfect budgeting, even showing a genuine surplus occasionally. Now, tap, tap, tap and you wouldn’t have a clue how much is left, if any. Economic chaos worse than Australia’s. It’s driving us mad. Yes, our credit card could be used, but we don’t do things that way. No debt is good debt. Bad luck, retailers, we’re going back to cash. Elegantly simple, it works for us. The mobile phone app to detect the virus won’t work with us either. My wife’s compact, elementary flip phone won’t accept apps and she likes it just as it is. I have a smart phone, but it is so large, uncomfortable and intrusive that I cannot carry it on my person. I forget to, anyway. It has some handy, novel functions, but is rarely used and resides on the kitchen table, data turned off. My total number of Facebook friends is zero, so it rarely beeps or twits. We have a landline. With no tourism, Mornington has almost reverted to the wonderful town it once was for all of us residents. I actually took a pleasant walk down Main Street. No hordes of tourists to make us shop elsewhere. No crowds of vacantfaced strangers blocking the pavements, ambling aimlessly, drinking coffee next to the gutter in obstructive enclosures; taking every parking spot. It’s good. Reclaim our streets.

ON THE COVER
MODERN STYLE WITH A QUIRKY INNOVATIVE TWIST COMPLETELY captivating, this appealing property, peacefully set in the foothills of Arthurs Seat, is one of character that will attract the attention of any buyer looking for that special property with a difference. There is an immediate sense of substance and quality with a dazzling array of high-end designer finishes on offer – the eye-catching double sided gas log fire and cool sliding barn door with distinct timber panelling that feature to the main open plan living zone are particularly impressive. Equally inspiring is the excellent kitchen with two large prep benches that include a dishwasher and stainless-steel oven respectively; there is a gas hot plate with stainless-steel rangehood above, and cleverly integrated into the space is a butlers pantry. Two bedrooms share a chic bathroom highlighted by glamorous pendant lighting, a long twin vanity unit is set opposite a glass framed shower and there is a deep-soaker tub. The lavish master bedroom has a walk-in robe and opens out to a Juliette balcony. Intriguingly set over three levels, from the ground floor there is a double garage with staircase leading up to a rumpus room, or third bedroom if required, and as the perfect addition to the spectacular main zone is a rooftop terrace with its spectacular elevation and orientation taking in the view over the treetops to the bay and Martha Cove for the ultimate entertaining area. Completely private with zero passing traffic, yet literally moments to shops, this fascinating property affords a wonderful low-maintenance lifestyle for downsizers or a fun, envy inducing weekend holiday home.n

100 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK...
Somerville school concert lauded *** TWO guns, trophies of the war, have been allotted to this Shire, one for Frankston and the other for Hastings. *** MR Ball, of Mentone Grammar School, will visit Frankston on Monday. next, to interview parents. *** THE Wattle Club is combining with the Progress Association in arranging a welcome to the sailors of H.M.S. Renown, who will visit Frankston on Sunday, 6th June. It is desired that business houses should be decorated for the occasion. Donations to the reception fund are invited, and same will be received by Miss D. Gregory, or Mr Wheeler. *** WE are pleased to welcome such an experienced teacher as Mr Manson to our town, and hope sufficient inducement in the number of scholars will make his settlement amongst us for all time, an accomplished fact. *** MR E. Reynolds is spending a holiday in Frankston. *** MR and Mrs A. G. Wilcox intend leaving Frankston next month. A meeting is being arranged to organise public farewell. *** Frankston Brass Band A most satisfactory response has been made in answer to the advertisement for young men to learn to play in the above, and already the number of members of the band has been satisfactorily increased. There are still a few vacancies left.
Compiled by Cameron McCullough A CONCERT in aid of School Funds was given by the pupils of the Somerville State School on Monday night, May 24th. The programme was a lengthy one and reflects great credit on the teachers and scholars. The organising of a school concert entails a vast amount of work and unlimited patience, and the teachers, Mr. Uren and Mrs. Cole, deserve all the laudatory remarks heard concerning them. Everything went through without a hitch, and judging by the beaming smiles on the faces of the audience, each item was thoroughly enjoyed. Over £17 was realised at the door, so the house was possibly a record one. The decorations, attended to by Mr F. Thornell, were very tasteful indeed. Mr. Murray proved an efficient chairman, and at the conclusion of the programme, spoke in favorable terms of the nights’ entertainment. Mr. Uren responded suitably, and moved that a hearty vote of thanks be passed to the members of the School Committee and others who had given great assistance in fixing the stage and other arrangements. This was seconded by Mr. G. Shepherd and carried with acclamation. *** MONTHLY meeting of Shire Council next Thursday. *** IT is likely that a referendum on the question of the sale of the Shire Hall site at Somerville will be held early next month.
Hop in while the chance to obtain expert tuition is still good. Practices are on Monday nights, at Fire Station. *** MEMBERS of the Frankston Cricket Club spent a very enjoyable evening at Frankston House on Saturday, 15th May. Dr. C. Maxwell, the president of the club, presided. Apologies were received from Mr D. Kennedy (the club’s captain), Dr. Mackeddie and others who were unable to be present. Varied entertainment helped to pass a pleasant hour, after which, at the invitation of Dr. Maxwell, a dainty supper was partaken of. The presentation of trophies won during the season just concluded was made. Mr Ben Baxter was successful in securing the best averages both in batting and bowling, and in presenting him with two valuable bats, Dr. Maxwell complimented the winner on his prowess in the field of sport. The Frankston club, he said, was fortunate in possessing a player of such high calibre, and hoped that next season would again see Mr Baxter in his best form on the cricket field. The trophies were the gifts of Dr Mackeddie and the president. Ray Baxter received the trophy for the played making the most catches during the season, presented by Mrs B. Baxter. Mr B. Baxter, in returning thanks, emphatically stated that Frankston had fairly won the Peninsula premiership, despite the fact that they had

been placed third on the list by the Association delegates. Dr. Maxwell took the opportunity of thanking the Shire Council for so readily acceding to the club’s request for the laying down of an asphalt wicket. That special thanks be sent to Cr Mason for the, support he had given. Cr Mason in reply said the Council owed something to the cricket club for improvements effected to the park in years gone by. If the club showed an interest in the reserve they were now using he believed the Council would not be slow to give further assistance. In supporting the vote of thanks to the Press, Mr B. Box said that next season Frankston hoped to be playing with an association of clubs along the line as far as Mordialloc. Warm thanks were tendered to the Misses Hay and Box for providing room at Frankston House for the use of the Club. *** Heard in the Train On Sunday, 6th June, the Blue jackets of the H.M.S. Renown will be welcomed at Frankston. The Wattle Club have the arrangements in hand in co-operation with the Progress Association, and although the Prince’s sailors will not remain in Frankston for more than half-an-hour, it is proposed to give them, during that time a fair sample of “concentrated enthusiasm.” It is persistently rumored that the Prince himself won’t be very far away on the occasion. The Shire President, (Cr D. E.
Hoban), has been invited to attend and officially extend a welcome on behalf of the people of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings. On the afternoon of the same day the Wattle Club will entertain a large number of soldiers from the hospitals. A bumper house greeted the Frankston pictures last Saturday night. Next week the show takes place on Wednesday night, as usual. The public meeting at Seaford last Saturday night dealt with Kananook Creek question in very thorough fashion. People are beginning to realise that the creek is not only a menace to public health, but, like Frankston’s light supply, is detrimental to the progress of the district. Some people will take risks where the matter of health alone is concerned, but are prepared to fight if vested interests are threatened. The creek is a double barrelled danger, and the sooner Mr Tom McComb’s “Kananook River” is again a real, live, flowing concern, the better it will be for everybody. Frankston Progress Association’s monthly meeting was largely attended on Tuesday night, and half-a-dozen new members were enrolled. The “motion” to prohibit Sunday bathing did not materalise, the intending proposer intimating that he had been having a little “joke.” It certainly served its purpose. Even the joker was joked. *** FROM the pages of the Mornington Standard, 28 May 1920

Finally, shoulder pain relief YOU’VE just got back to swimming, tennis, or enjoying working on the tools around the house, and your shoulder starts to hurt when you lift your arm above your head. Your sleep is interrupted when you lie on your shoulder, and it just aches when driving or sitting in front of the computer. This can be difficult to treat, because one of the main causes is poor shoulder posture. Often people want a quick solution, but without improving posture, clearing the pain can be difficult. Poor posture can place pressure on the rotator cuff tendons, and the shoulder joint capsule (ligaments supporting the shoulder), causing a frozen shoulder. At Back In Motion Balnarring we have several solutions for this problem. Firstly, we need to teach optimal posture. We do this with exercises and taping to guide the correct shoulder blade posture. We can also prescribe exercises to help reduce tension on the inflamed tendons. Apart from the above solutions, there is a new healing technology that is making a profound difference for shoulder pain sufferers. Practice owner, Paul Rowson says “Shockwave Therapy is often useful, because the rotator cuff tendons are a connective tissue, not a muscle. It puts a significant shockwave through the tissues you apply it to.
It is a pressure wave which brings blood flow to the area. Tendons and connective tissue do not have much blood supply and can take a long time to heal. Shockwave artificially stimulates the healing of the tendon.” Shockwave therapy can also be used on Achilles tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, golfer’s and tennis elbow, Frozen Shoulder, and Rotator Cuff tendon problems, and is usually most effective on long term chronic problems, rather than acute injuries. Shockwave is not the first line of treatment for injured patients. Physiotherapy and graded exercise are more likely in the first instance. But for more stubborn conditions, shockwave has shown good results. “The evidence at the moment suggests between three to five treatments are required, but most people should see an improvement within three sessions. It has a success rate up to 90%” Paul says. The Shockwave therapy is administered for a three-minute period to the affected area during consecutive weekly appointments. “It is a bit of an uncomfortable sensation” Paul says, “like most physio handson treatments with a little discomfort during the treatment.” Paul says, “After each session, most people get a significant reduction of pain and symptoms. Long term it stimulates healing,
short term it reduces pain. The best thing is, the effects are long lasting. It stops a lot of people having more invasive things like surgery or injections. The treatment is considered safe, but can produce skin reddening or bruising, short term
pain, and cannot be used on people taking blood thinning medications or with bleeding disorders.“ “It is important to know that Shockwave has a long-term effect. Most of the time you have good outcomes, without having to have further treatments.”
Shockwave is now available in Balnarring. Call in and speak to the physios to see if it suits your condition. Back in Motion is at 6/2-8 Russell Street, Balnarring. Phone 03 5983 1021.www.backinmotion.com.au/ balnarring

Soccer bosses let clubs choose SOCCER
By Craig MacKenzie FOOTBALL Victoria last week gave clubs the opportunity to decide their short-term future without penalty. The state body announced that there would be promotion this year throughout the leagues but no relegation. FV’s “Guiding principles for the resumption of football in Victoria” was generally well-received and for the most part took an even-handed approach when weighing up the federation’s responsibilities as the game’s watchdog against the responsibilities of member clubs. However, while announcing that clubs choosing not to compete would not face sanctions the principles mandated that all clubs were “subject to the payment of their full, respective 2020 team entry/license/participation fees by 31 October 2020. This will ensure that clubs retain their league status in the Victorian football hierarchy for 2021.” FV also may restructure the leagues shortly depending on which clubs choose to participate so it’s feasible that some clubs could be promoted even before a ball is kicked in anger. Since the announcement FV has updated its return to training rules released a fortnight back that imposed a 10-person quota on training groups, essentially restricting them to nine players and a coach. There were other biosecurity protocols in a comprehensive list that clubs had to implement and monitor as a necessary condition of resuming training. From Monday 1 June training groups were increased to 20 people including coaches and support staff with a continuation of other protocols already in place. FV has given clubs until Monday 8 June to decide whether or not they will take part in the 2020 season and already nine local clubs have indicated that they are keen to play – Mornington, Peninsula Strikers, Skye United, Frankston Pines, Baxter, Chelsea, Aspendale Stingrays, Rosebud and Mount Martha. Langwarrin, Seaford United and Somerville Eagles are expected to reach a decision on participation this week.
Decision time: Langwarrin, Seaford United and Somerville Eagles are expected to decide this week whether they will take part in the 2020 season.
For Baxter president Bray Hodgkinson it’s the unknown composition of the leagues and the season that proved to be the biggest obstacle to deciding what to do. “We don’t know if what FV is putting together will actually operate or not,” he said. “It’s hard for us to make any other decision without knowing exactly what everything looks like.” Langwarrin president Tanya Wallace is among a handful of club bosses still deciding whether to proceed. Like Hodgkinson she bemoans the fact that her club will make a decision without a better understanding of what lies ahead. “I don’t know how many games we are going to play so I can’t even begin to look at a budget until we know that,” Wallace said. “We can’t negotiate with anyone but we’ve still got to decide what to do by 8 June. “I’m hoping that by next Friday there’ll be more information from Football Victoria and we’ll be able to make a more informed decision. “Right now you’re guessing and you’re gambling and you can’t run a club like that especially a not-forprofit organisation. “This club is all about sustainability and I’m not going to be the one who has to close the place down after 56 years.” Langwarrin has been thorough in gathering information from parents

ance.” All Pines home games this year will be streamed live on the mycujoo.tv platform. Meanwhile referees are a group that has received little comment on social media whenever the topic of returning to playing is mentioned despite their integral role in the sport. However a current referee and a former top-flight match official who did not want to be named have both indicated that today’s refs are cautious about a season reboot. “Most referees I know are champing at the bit to get back on the park but a lot though have concerns about safety,” said the current referee. The former match official believes that changes to routine are inevitable if social distancing requirements are to be met. “The referees I have spoken to have no worries about the onfield side of things but have mentioned that social distancing is a major problem with referees’ change rooms, some of which can't accommodate three officials let alone more. “Referee assessors and match commissioners have the same issues for post-match reviews. “Maybe match officials have to go to grounds pre-changed and postmatch stuff is conducted outside if a larger area cannot be provided.”

In State 3 news Matthew “Hammer” Hames has started training with Frankston Pines. He is a former Pines, Peninsula Strikers and Knox City player who had been working in the UK as a science and maths teacher but returned to Melbourne this year. “I got to go to a multitude of football matches but only played socially as I was travelling so much,” Hames said. “I’m still not sure where I’ll end up but the culture at Pines feels good and that’s important to me.” Pines head coach Kevin “Squizzy” Taylor thinks Hames and Fijian import Tito Vodowaqa could form an effective partnership. “Matt is proven at State League level, is good with his back to goal, and provides us with a different dimension going forward,” Taylor said. With relegation out of the mix and the possibility that FV will be forced to revamp the leagues if clubs decide not to play this year there’s nothing to lose and much to gain for any club that is promoted to a higher league before the season starts. That’s a prospect that Taylor is relishing and wouldn’t hesitate to accept should the opportunity arise. “I have no doubt that we will be extremely competitive whatever league we find ourselves in,” Taylor said. “We have added a number of quality players which has significantly increased our depth and squad bal-

and players over the past fortnight to enable it to have a good understanding of their willingness to participate this year. The club arranged a survey of its major demographic – its junior NPL and community junior sections – by emailing everyone listed on its registration database and the result was an overwhelming response in favour of playing. “Ninety per cent want to train and want to play and of the 10 per cent that didn’t want to play a few were happy to train and a few had changed their mind and didn’t want to play anymore,” Wallace added. “Only one of our community coaches doesn’t want to come back but some of our team managers are finding it hard as they are out of work at the moment.” Langwarrin’s NPL juniors started training last week and the seniors are due to start this week. All of the club’s registered players had to sign a return to training agreement before being able to train. Parents of junior players also had to sign the document which reinforced the biosecurity measures in place and encouraged everyone to sign up to the government’s COVIDSafe app. “We wanted to make sure that people understood what’s required. We know it’s not mandatory but like Football Victoria we strongly recommend that people sign up to the app,” Wallace said.

Spring features on Agreeable’s agenda HORSE RACING
By Ben Triandafillou THE Anthony Freedman stable continued their successful run with two-year-old’s as Agreeable stormed home to victory to notch up their fourth individual juvenile winner for the month of May. Coming off two encouraging jumpouts at Mornington, the daughter of Sebring realed in her opposition to score a winning debut at Geelong on Friday 29 May. Agreeable settled at the rear of the field under jockey Jamie Kah before sweeping past her rivals in the straight and was eased down with her ears pricked in the final 50 metres. The Piencliff Racing-owned filly ended up holding a two-length margin over the Lindsay Park-trained Aswaat and the Kevin Corstens-trained Love Sensation. Mornington trainer Anthony Freedman said it was a great win by a filly who is far from the finished product. “It was a top debut performance,” Anthony Freedman said on his website. “She followed up two good jump outs and handled race day well, as she can be a highly strung filly. Jamie (Kah) rode her nicely, and she seems to get on with her really well.” Being bred out of a Listed twoyear-old winning mare who managed to show her best of a mile, will likely see Agreeable head in a similar direction.

Freedman said he is now considering aiming Agreeable towards the three-year-old fillies features in the Spring. “Going off what we have seen at home and being by Sebring, she looks like she will get out over further so races like the Thousand Guin-
eas (1600m) and Wakefield Stakes (2000m) could be nice targets for her,” he said. “She has had a positive experience, so she’ll improve from that and she’ll improve again with another spell. She’ll have two or three weeks in the paddock now and we will get her
ready for the three-year-old fillies’ races through the Spring.” Pinecliff Racing in combination with the Freedman stable have had some serious talent head towards the Thousand Guineas in previous seasons with Southbank (2019) and Shoals (2017) both finishing in the
placings. Shoals later went on to win the Group 1 Myer Classic (1600m) at her next start before adding the Group 1 Surround Stakes (1400m) and Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) to her page the following year.

A labour of love
Open for business
How a clever local couple built a business around their passion for camping WHEN Ronny and Tania met 15 years ago while Ronny was backpacking around Australia, they weren’t to know that a spontaneous decision by Tania to join him would lead to marriage, family and the launch of a successful business born from their love of campervanning. After that first year of campervanning, Ronny and Tania were hooked. Ronny moved to Australia from Germany and they continued their campervan travels on weekends and holidays while holding down their day jobs. They travelled in an old van they cleverly converted into something amazing and were approached by many people asking if they’d convert a van for them. Tania did some research and discovered the lack of design focused, high quality, campervan conversion companies in Australia. So they took the plunge, quit their jobs, got married and started Achtung Camper, a bespoke campervan conversion company based in Geelong. Fast forward seven years and Ronny and Tania have a thriving business converting 40 campervans a year. “Because we love campervanning and have been doing it for many years, we know what campers need and want in a conversion to make
their holidays on the road that much more enjoyable,” said Tania. “We offer conversions to suit different budgets, tastes and lifestyles. We purchase your new VW T6 and work closely with you to design it into the campervan of your dreams. “Our campervans have insulated and carpeted interiors and engineered rock and roll beds that convert in one easy movement which means a soundproof sleep at the perfect temperature. Tania said Ronny’s background in working on high end design and building projects meant he was perfect to manage the design and conversion of the campervans while Tania runs the office. “Around fifty percent of our customers are women and they appreciate dealing with a woman during the purchase and conversion process. And what’s more, Tania and Ronny still manage to pursue their love of campervanning for six months of the year. “Our campervanning trips allow us to try out new features and think up future innovations to make life on the road easier than ever.” Achtung Camper is at 17 Terminus Lane, Geelong.

Part of the fossil display
Part of the crystal display
Imagine being able to buy your own real dinosaur Well now you can – at Dove and Lyre, 187 Main Street, Mornington! This is a business serious about natural history, selling fossils, gems, bugs and beasties, handmade gemstone jewellery, and antiquities.
Robert and Di opened their first shop Dove and Lyre in Sydney in 2013 and remained open until February this year closing just after opening in Mornington in late January.
These are spiny oyster Turquiose from Arizona in sterling silver
There are two reasons for opening in Mornington at this time. Firstly, Robert and Di have always wanted to become resident on the peninsula, and secondly, the bush fires in East Gippsland crippled their shop’s business in Lakes Entrance, which has been open for almost 4 years.
When the covid-19 pandemic came almost straight after, the community in East Gippsland has been devastated, having lost its income for the season. These factors induced Robert and Di to open in Mornington earlier than expected and hopefully Lakes Entrance will recover quickly, when visitors can return to enjoy this beautiful part of Victoria. Dove and Lyre Mornington is a shop that is sure to impress - a fascinating eclectic mix of unique and wonderful objects that have been collected over the last 8 years. To name but a few of the most amazing items for sale is a 120 million year old baby Dinosaur - Psittacosaurus Sinensis, a small herbivore from China; a three chambered Amethyst cave from Brazil; museum quality crystal and fossil specimens and some amazing fossils and crystals from Australia. This amazing shop has a vast range of Gemstones – from the common to the obscure, in a price range from $5 to over $5,000. Their extensive range of fossils includes trilobites, ammonites, Woolly Mammoth teeth, and even a Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth. Dove and Lyre have a display of Australian and European meteorites including the latest one to hit Russia in 2013. There is also Moldavite and Libyan glass, the results of meteorite impacts. Did you know there are 172 known impact craters in the world and Australia has 25 of these? Also, for sale are Antiquities from around the world, dating back to several thousand years BC. From the Pre-historic to the Historic and Modern, come and have a look at their incredible range of jewellery – from early Roman, to antique, Art Deco and the latest handmade Sterling Silver and beaded Jewellery! What a choice! Dove and Lyre also have a superb collection of Butterflies and Bugs, framed and under glass. It is their intention to provide many natural history and scientific pieces for those interested in these areas. Make sure you put Dove and Lyre on your ‘MUST SEE’ list when you are down and about in Mornington.
A beautiful clear quartz crystal on a light stand (sold separately) makes a stunning night light
Maybe not up your street however they are really stunning to those who collect. Choose from beautiful butterfiles and other bugs.
Left: Needs no explanation, however did you know they were formed 1.8 - 2 BILLION years ago? Right: Our baby dinosaur come and pay her a visit!
