Growing threat raising fire risk By NOEL MURPHY STRONG fuel growth and difficulties with controlled burns are increasing the region’s summer fire risk, authorities have warned. CFA’s Ian Beswicke, pictured, said recent strong winds had restricted controlled burns to reduce fuel loads in risk areas across the region. “We’ve had a few controlled burns that have got away on us,� he said. “You wouldn’t think that would happen at this time of year, that they’d get away due to the wind.� Mr Beswicke said the risk factor facing the region was now high. “There’s a big risk – you’ve only got to look at New South Wales’ early fire season. “We’ve had a lot of rain and a lot of growth. There’s a lot of grass out there and with a couple of hot days and a bit of wind, which can really dry it out, you can have a fast-moving, potentially damaging grassfire.� The CFA warned last month that forests could be more flammable than usual due to last summer’s extreme dryness and heat. Mr Beswicke cautioned property-owners against keeping flammable items close to homes and urged them to begin clearing sites now. “Maintaining low fuel 10 to 20 metres around your house means you’re in a better position to survive. “The more you do to reduce the fuel the better. Don’t store firewood beside the house – even the front-door mat is a potential threat if embers land there. “Trigger points might seem only little things but they can make such a big difference.� Picture: REG RYAN

Four-storey homes on way to suburbs, peninsula

LILY ‘ON TOP’ IN RACE FOR MAYOR - P9

Hitting new highs By KATE VALLENCE FOUR-STOREY buildings will be permitted in some Geelong suburbs after sweeping changes to zoning regulations. Geelong’s council this week endorsed the changes following Planning Minister Matthew Guy’s “reform� of zones. Existing residential zones one, two and three will be replaced with the three new zonings allowing either four, three or two storeys. A report to council said sections of LaTrobe Tce, Geelong West, Belmont and

Clifton Springs would be rezoned for up to four storeys. Newtown, North Shore and Drumcondra would be rezoned to Neighbourhood Residential Zone, allowing only two storeys, due to their high number of quality homes and allotment sizes. “It is recognised that housing at higher densities can have a greater impact on neighbourhood character than traditional detached housing,� the report said. “As housing density intensifies it is important that design quality improves to ensure a positive contribution to

the neighbourhood is achieved.� Council planning portfolio holder Rod Macdonald said the new zones intended to offer greater certainty about the type of development that could be expected in a given residential area. He said the new zones would provide council with “better tools to both encourage growth and preserve urban character�. Acting mayor Bruce Harwood said he was concerned the changes would have a “detrimental effect� on the community and the “true character� of iconic areas. Cr Kylie Fisher said she was uneasy at

the height of new developments and their broader impact on future public housing developments, particularly in the northern suburbs. Mayoral candidate Cr John Irvine voted against the amendments, saying they were unfair and inequitable. Mayoral candidate and architect Greg Jones said the changes presented some challenges but Geelong had to modernise its thinking on planning matters. “We need to get on with it,� he said. Council voted to place the proposed changes on display for public consultation.

DOG owners will have to keep their pets on leashes everywhere unless in specifically-signed offleash areas, a new Geelong animal management plan stipulates. And council officers will ramp up patrols to enforce the crackdown in on and off-leash areas. The new plan includes mandatory desexing for all new cat registrations and desexing of all registered cats in the next four years. Cr Kylie Fisher said stricter controls would assist in preventing high numbers of animals in local shelters. “The cat population in Geelong is a huge problem,” she said.

“If people decide to have a pet they must take care of them.” A report to council said options to provide low-cost desexing would be explored to help defray the veterinary cost. “All public open space areas shall be designated as on-leash/ controlled areas, including roads, footpaths, beaches, reserves, parks, playgrounds and other council lands and buildings,” the report said. Public consultation on the issue revealed the community was dissatisfied with the level of enforcement of dog rules, the report said. Increased enforcement would mean extra resources allocated to “deliver the level of compliance

expected by the community”. “The community has strongly indicated that a visible enforcement presence is critical to the success of the plan,” the report said. Council would also investigate suitable areas for dedicated and fenced dog parks. The report said council already worked with Corangamite Catchment Management Authority and Barwon Coast Committee of Management on dog-control orders. Council would also work with Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management to develop “harmonious” dog-control orders.

Ib, Ib hooray for victory Crowd down for wet cup two of the past three Melbourne Cup winners, with Dunaden in 2011 and Americain in 2010. The six-year-old Ibicenco needed to win in Geelong, plus take on a significant weight, to bolster his chances of a Melbourne Cup berth. The win was a buoyant victory for Ibicenco’s owners - a syndicate including Simon O’Donnell and Terry Henderson’s OTI Racing - who bought the German-bred, Luca Cumani-trained stallion after a disappointing showing

last year. The Melbourne Cup call is set for this Friday. The Geelong course was on the receiving end of more than 16mm of rain in the 24 hours up to the cup, with crowd numbers down as a result. But punters and fashionistas thumbed their nose at black skies and soaking rain to make the 2013 Geelong Cup an exciting albeit damp affair.

Cooke elected TERRY Wills Cooke has taken over as president of Geelong Galley after members voted against reinstating former city mayor Peter McMullin. Costa Group advisor Andrew Balaam and former councillor Cameron Granger were elected vice -presidents.

Road cash A $1.4 MILLION funding injection will upgrade a section of Geelong-Portarlington Rd with a history of crashes resulting in serious injuries, MP David Koch has announced. He said the work would seek to prevent “run-off crashes” on a 1.1km stretch between Drakes and Whitcombes Rds at Drysdale.

Splashin’s on the field for Geelong Cup fashionistas

Spooky shed DRYSDALE’S Potato Shed will host a Halloween celebration for “young people” this weekend, according to Geelong’s council. A council spokesperson said Halloween Fest would feature a “massive line-up of bands” and patrons dressed in costumes from midday to 9pm Saturday.

By KATE VALLENCE ANYONE would have been forgiven for wanting to swap a fascinator for a poncho during Fashions on the Field at Wednesday’s Geelong Cup. Fewer than 100 die-hard fashionistas embraced the miserable conditions to dazzle a rain-soaked crowd with bright florals, splashes of neon and vintage fur. Fashions on the Field judge and Country Racing ambassador Alex Hecker said she was delighted with the crowd despite the rain. “I’m glad everyone has made the effort to come out and the girls and guys look lovely,” she said. Classic understated items impressed the judges and flooded the heats. Dresses ranged from internationally designed to home-made. It wasn’t just the dresses that excited, with inventive contestants using the weather to inspire accessories like umbrellas. A hotly contested classic racewear category went down to the wire, with crowd WON: Jacqueline Russo. favourite Jacqueline Russo taking out the title. Dressed in a pattern-clashing shift dress, the elegant Ms Russo wore a stunning hat designed by Melbourne milliner Jill and Jack. “I’m so thrilled to have finally won,” she said. Rhianna Bruscella won the most spectacular headwear category. Also a finalist in the ladies classic racewear category, she wore a white and green floral headpiece with a pair of green shoes. Describing herself as a novice in the art of millinery, Ms Bruscella said the secret was learning how to use a glue gun. And the boys didn’t disappoint, either, with top hats, bow ties and pops of colour taking centre stage. Jack Krzywdzinski took out the men’s classic racewear category. Mr Krzywdzinski said he had a secret weapon – his fashion-minded girlfriend.

THE REGION’S water storages have risen above 90 per cent of capacity, with further increases on the way after rain this week. Barwon Water measurements showed the storages held 86 billion litres on Wednesday after sitting at 69 per cent of capacity less than two months ago.

NEW RESEARCH has highlighted Geelong’s “close connection” to World War I, according to Victorian Veterans Affairs Minister High Delahunty. He said the research on the deployment of Victorian troopship HMAT Orvieto found that 24 people born in Geelong were among the 1457 on board.

IBICENCO, a Peter Moody-trained import ridden by Brad Rawiller, held off tough competition from Verdant on a heavy track to take out this year’s $180,000 Geelong Cup. Verdant’s jockey, Ben Melham, took the race right down the wire in a hard-fought final furlong, with veteran Moudre in third place and Crafty Cruiser fourth in the 2400-metre event. Rawiller lost his whip in the final stage of the race. The Geelong Cup has produced

Moody was ecstatic after the win, with his camp describing it as “a tough effort” by Ibicenco and “a fantastic result”. Ibicenco’s Melbourne Cup odds shortened from as far out as $71 before the Geelong win to $51. The Geelong result returned punters $5.50 the win and $2.00 the place. The race was disappointing for other Melbourne Cup aspirants including favourite Forgotten Voice, Team Hawkes’ Polish Knight and former European stayer Brigantin, all of which failed to place.

Open land, Kakouros says panel TORQUAY’S red shirt brigade is rallying the troops for a new fight against opening Spring Creek for housing. Protesters took to social media on Wednesday as soon as Surf Coast Shire released an independent panel report calling for Spring Creek Valley to be rezoned for urban growth. “We will be calling a council of war,� 3228 Residents Association spokesman Sid Pope said. “Talk to everyone you know, it’s time to demonstrate that we are not a community to be taken for granted, walked over or disregarded.� Mr Pope said Planning Minister Matthew Guy, South Barwon MP Andrew Katos and Premier Denis Napthine should all consider themselves on notice.

Council will consider the report for its recommendation to Mr Guy on a proposed C66 planning scheme amendment to guide Torquay’s growth. Surf Coast councillor David Bell, who Christian College gagged with legal pressure from speaking or voting on C66, said the panel had “taken a dim view� of community efforts to move the planning focus away from Spring Creek. “Pull out the red shirts if you are outraged by this carve-up of the Spring Creek Valley,� he exhorted protesters, referring to the distinctive shirts hundreds wore in rallies objecting to plans for thousands of residents on the land, west of Duffields Rd. Council can now either approve all, some or none of the report before sending it to Mr Guy or abandon the C66 amendment altogether.

A FORMER warehouse employee of Geelong’s Cotton On claims she was terminated after suffering a hernia from unsafe work practices. Brooke Wagstaff, 31, of Bell Post Hill, said she was off work for two weeks after surgery to correct her umbilical hernia, with another two weeks on light duties. But Cotton On sacked her the day after she was cleared to return to normal duties, Ms Wagsaff said. “The doctors told me I suffered the hernia because of heavy lifting,� she said. “I was shocked. I was told I was sacked for poor work progress but as I was being escorted out, my manager told me I could reapply for my position as a casual. “Why would they do that if I wasn’t meeting work requirements? I was hurt, angry and so annoyed but because I was on trial I had no leg to stand on.� National Union of Workers organiser Chris Calvert said it was disappointing a business the size and profitability of Cotton On was unable to provide meaningful jobs after staff were injured at work. Mr Calvert said Cotton On was able to sack Ms Wagstaff because she was on six months’ probation and the company was not required to offer permanent ongoing work.

Acting mayor’s bio trip to USA By NOEL MURPHY

the sister city invitation further as a strategic alliance with serious milestones and outcomes unlike two sister/friendship ties Geelong has in China and Japan that have delivered little economic value. The Athens invitation, from mayor Nancy Denson, has been coupled with approaches from bioscience bodies in Atlanta keen to check Geelong’s potential for joint projects. “These approaches represent great opportunities for Geelong, as Atlanta is acknowledged as an international centre for biosci-

ence and advanced manufacturing,” Cr Harwood said. Previous delegations to North Carolina and a world bioscience conference at Atlanta had provided “extensive information in relation to the importance of bioscience developments around the world” and commercial opportunities for Geelong, he said. A report to council this week said a strategic sister city held “great potential to build both cities’ profiles within the bioscience industry and exploit opportunities that may be presented in various commercial fields”.

Couple’s sighting claim has tiger by the tale By NOEL MURPHY IS THE Tasmanian tiger extinct or living in the Otways? That’s the question after a new round of purported sightings of the illustrious striped marsupial at Freshwater Creek, west of Geelong. Farmer Harry Cook claims to have sighted a Tasmanian tiger several times, as recently as a fortnight ago, but an Ocean Grove couple’s roadside sighting last weekend has reignited the debate. The couple told the Independent they saw a large animal on Anglesea Rd close to Blackgate Rd shortly before midday last Friday. “I thought, ‘What the hell was that?’” said the husband, who wanted to remain anonymous for fear of ridicule. “It looked like a different species unless it was deformed. Its tail was too long and skinny,

STRIPED, SPOTTED: Tasmanian tigers in captivity early last century. “It didn’t dart off, it just trotted with a funny gait like a hyena and disappeared. It wasn’t a cat, it wasn’t a fox, it wasn’t a dog. “It was a really mangy thing, an orange-yellowy colour and I didn’t actually see any stripes.” The man thought he was “starting to crack up”. SIGHTING: Harry Cook. He contacted Mr Cook after almost greyhoundish, its head a Google search revealed his was pretty wolfish looking recent experience with liveand it had a bit of hump near stock lost to a unknown marauding animal. the tail.

He also spoke to big-cat researcher Michael Moss who appealed to any other possible witnesses to contact him. “It keeps on being seen along Thompsons Creek,” Mr Moss said. “Harry’s first sighting was five years ago and just two weeks ago there was another strange animal about - he’s had three alleged sightings now.” Mr Moss said the lack of stripes in the latest sighting was unsurprising. He believed the animal might have been old, flushed out of the bush by a lack of quarry following a recent rabbit cull. “I’ve no doubt there’s an animal resembling a Tassie tiger in the area. These people had no idea what they saw at first - they hadn’t read any articles, they had no prior knowledge yet they’re giving a remarkably similar description as others in areas along Thompsons Creek.”

National top 10 for Barwon’s land cost

By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN

THE Barwon region is the seventh most expensive nationally for median land prices, according to new figures. HIA-RP Data’s latest Residential Land Report said the region’s median lot price was $179,000. Only six New South Wales and Queensland regions, including RichmondTweed Heads, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast, ranked higher. The most expensive regions ranged from $241,500 to $180,000. Barwon, which includes Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast, was

the only Victorian region in the national top 10. The median value for regional Australia was $153,710 in the June 2013 quarter, the report said. However, the report noted that sales were still “substantially lower” than in the last growth phase more than two years ago. Housing Industry Association economist Harley Dale said the strong prices reflected higher volume of residential land sales, posting strong growth of 18.2 per cent in the June 2013 quarter. “This is the highest quarterly volume achieved since the March quarter of 2010,” Mr Dale said.

“The recovery in residential land sales is impressive but from a very low base.” Mr Dale said residential land prices had generally recorded “modest” growth. He said residential land increased in value at only 1.7 per cent over the year, less than general inflation. RP Data research director Tim Lawless said the improved vacant land market conditions were in line with growth across the broader housing market. “The improved number of land sales reflects a higher level of buyer demand but we’re continuing to record a substantially lower number of land sales than during the last growth phase in 2009/2010.”

Mayoral ‘dummies’ suspected By JOHN VAN KLAVEREN

CONTENDER: Lily Stefanovic.

A PLUS-sized Geelong Cup field has assembled to contest the position of the city’s mayor at next month’s by-election. Old and new faces seeking Geelong’s top job characterise the field, with some warning that the high number of nominations might mean dummy candidates are among them. Political newcomer and Bunnings area manager Lily Stefa-

CAREERS AT THE CITY

novic said she had heard suggestions some had nominated purely as “preferential candidates”. “It’s great to see people have an interest in the community but you wonder how much people can bring to the role,” Ms Stefanovic said. “You have to ask how genuine their commitment is to the role, but to those who have something genuine to offer, good luck to them.”

Ms Stefanovic, who won the top slot on the ballot paper, said her 25 years of corporate experience with Bunnings gave her several skills for the mayoral role. “I understand financial management and delivering to shareholders, with leadership skills to have council work as team. “I’d like to provide a vision for the good of the entire council; looking at the big picture, at the benefits for a wide range of people.

mation and taking care on who they vote for and where they send their preferences. “There’s no one candidate who’s that far ahead of the others on the primary vote, so preferences will play a major role.” Other former councillors to nominate are Anthony Aitken, Margrette Lewis, Tom O’Connor and Ken Jarvis. Incumbent councillor John Irvine has also nominated.

The remaining candidates are Stephen Yewdall, Darryn Lyons, Angelo Kakouros, Roger Marsden, Greg Jones, John Smith, Greg Lacy, Doug Mann and Stephanie Asher. Ratepayers will spend $500,000 on the postal vote to replace Keith Fagg, who quit 10 months into a four-year term as Geelong’s first directly elected mayor.

The art of Port EVERYONE has an artist inside - and Portarlington’s art group considers itself as proof of the old adage. The group of men and women busily daubing, oiling and crayoning a variety of surfaces were all wearing smiles and happy to share their artistic secrets when the Independent visited. But when asked about the purpose of the group, a couple of wags shot back: “It’s called retirement!” Proving that creativity knows no bounds, the group showed off a variety of mediums and approaches, from realism and abstract to impressionism in oils, acrylics and pastels. Some confessed they were new to the art world, others had dabbled previously, but all were having fun. “There’s nowhere else to go for this sort of group,” Dale Afflito confided. “It fulfils a need in this area. “We don’t get help from the council. It’s run by volunteers, we pay rent for the space, the tutors offer their time for free,” she said. “But the numbers are big and growing because it’s a lot of fun.

Join the

club John Van Klaveren

We’re especially welcoming for new people to the area - it helps them get to know a few people.” The group runs regular workshops and puts on exhibitions at local community events. At the end of each term the group holds a “gentle” critique to encourage improvement. “We can all learn something, even some of the more accomplished artists who help out,” Dale said. The group is based on the idea that there is no right or wrong way, with the aim of building confidence under the motto ‘Believe in yourself and your work’. Ocean Grove’s Heather Chadwick said impressionists “inspired” her art because the style allowed her such freedom. “Pastels can take four weeks to do, whereas I can have an impressionist piece done in a day. It’s free and easy, not pedantic.

“It’s a different thinking process, a different approach. I use a blend of colours - I see myself more as a colourist, using light dark. “It’s the opposite approach to realistic images.” Heather said she would probably not be painting if not for the group. “Being part of the collective motivates you to do the work - I wouldn’t do it at home alone. I never had time, had no experience. “I heard about it through a friend and loved the enthusiasm. I find myself more creative in the group - I’m prepared to be more experimental because we share so many different ideas. “We all work at different speeds, it’s part of the individuality. It helps you come out of yourself - we gain inspiration from each other.” The art group runs at Portarlington Neighbourhood House on Tuesday mornings.

ROAD maintenance is the most significant issue for the region’s motorists, according to an RACV survey. The organisation asked local drivers for their opinions on pressing regional transport issues as part of its Regional Growing Pains project. RACV public transport and mobility manager Thanuja Gunatillake said the quality of roads and the number of potholes was an emerging issue across regional Victoria. “People are generally happy with train services but there was

quite a bit of commentary about the lack of car parking at railway stations,” Ms Gunatillake said. “There was a lot of criticism for insufficient bus services to cater to local needs and the frequency of buses was too low. “Public transport users said services tended to focus on central Geelong but there’s a need for cross-suburban services.” Ms Gunatillake said issues for commuters accessing Melbourne were also on the agenda, with the RACV supporting the completion of the complete East-West link. “Geelong commuters have

said clearly they want an alternative to the Westgate corridor.” The RACV said its Regional Growing Pains project was a comprehensive investigation of the transport requirements in country Victoria. “Geelong is one of Victoria’s 10 largest regional cities, positioning itself to play a greater role in housing a share of the State’s growing population. “RACV wants to hear from residents about what problems they face and their suggested solutions.” An online survey is available at racv.com.au/regionalsurvey.

ALEX Hecker discovered some of the Victorian racing industry’s most treasured gold and silverware at Geelong Gallery this week. This year’s Face of Country Racing Victoria pored over two of the grandest trophies presented to major cup winners in the 19th Century. The 1888 Melbourne Cup, won by Mentor, and the 1890 Geelong Cup, won by Britannia, are on display to mark the Spring Racing Carnival and its artistic attributes. “These trophies show the rich heritage of racing in Victoria,” Alex said. “Having studied history at university, I really appreciate the historic value of these trophies, especially the 1888 Centennial Cup.” The trophies were the work of pre-eminent 19th Century Geelong silversmith, Edward Fischer, as well as London’s Elkington & Co. The gallery’s Racing Heritage - Early Melbourne and Geelong Trophies are on display until 17 November.

Letters My guide to transparency SEVERAL Independent correspondents have touched on but not fully addressed the fundamental issue underlying the recent ward allocations debate and the stand taken by former mayor Keith Fagg. Having been a mayor of one of Melbourne’s largest municipalities, I know transparency is the name of the game for financial accountability. It was not accurate for John Van Klaveren to say the money “is council’s”. The money is the ratepayers’ and council is merely charged with allocating it appropriately for the upkeep and benefit of our city, within the guidelines and spirit of the Local Government Act. People who contribute to it are entitled to know precisely how it is disbursed. It would be risky, if not illegal, to give councillors private, personal responsibility and discretion to allocate ward funds to groups or projects of their own choosing without a requirement to make public the allocations. At all levels of politics the temptation is always there to look after self-interest and that of friends. If councillors’ allocation processes are not open to scrutiny the suspicion can always arise of favouritism and/or unfairness. All this could be avoided if: applications for funding are advertised and invited; results of allocations are publicly announced; and the outcomes are officially and openly reported back to council. In my view if the above principles were adopted and adhered to some of the criticisms by the former mayor would be satisfied. Iris Pederick Manifold Heights

Big end’s candidate IT’S UNSURPRISING Geelong’s big-end-of-town alliance has blessed the candidature of ex-mayor from nearly 15 years ago, Ken Jarvis, for Geelong’s direct mayoral by-election. Does this mean we all now fall into line and support Mr Jarvis because Frank Costa thinks he’d make a great mayor? (Independent, 11 October) “He’s a strong person who can withstand stress,” Mr Costa said. Compared to whom? Mr Jarvis’ previous council terms included the Harding Park fiasco, the failed and expensive Geelong Embassy, support of an unpopular and unfair two-tier council structure and stoushes with other councillors. Mr Jarvis has tried previously to return to council but was defeated by former mayor Barbara Abley

Funding system good for community SOUTH Barwon Football and Netball Club wishes to support City of Greater Geelong’s Community Priority Projects funding process (Independent, 4 and 11 October). Our club has approximately 800 members, 20 football teams and 20 netball teams. Together with our co-tenant, Highton Cricket Club, and other community groups, we use McDonald’s Reserve facilities every week of the year. Like many community clubs, we continually strive to meet the demands of our growing club with provision of quality community infrastructure and facilities. Our facility is also used by Sports Education Development Australia as a schoolroom for 30 students for the

Our club understands the need to be adequately prepared with a robust strategy on how to best support our community. This has been done by forming a relationship with our ward councillor, Bruce Harwood,

despite preference deals with other Liberals including Jim Fidge. As an independent, Ms Abley didn’t appear to need Mr Costa’s blessing, which might have been wise. The battle for the mayoralty will undoubtedly reveal more secrets, which must be revealed because we cannot afford another disappointment. Sandra Camm Highton

Union’s cruel campaign A RELENTLESS advertising campaign underwritten by the Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) Victorian branch and a petition supported by Member for Geelong Ian Trezise accuse Barwon Health of cutting nursing care for aged care residents (Independent, 4 October). Barwon Health had a local area agreement for nursing hours above normal ratios since 2006 to manage the amalgamation and transition to new larger facilities at Alan David Lodge and Wallace Lodge. The transitional arrangements are now complete and Barwon Health is moving to the state-mandated nurse/patient ratios, as agreed to in a recently

and respective council officers. This means the club needs to leverage its budget with council, state and federal government processes to ensure we can provide appropriate and safe facilities. The priority projects process encourages funding accessibility for a range of volunteer community organisations in a consultative and relationshipbuilding form. This important linkage of community organisations to council should not be under-estimated.

While going through the formal negotiation process, the ANMF instigated a scare campaign claiming Barwon Health was selling out aged care in Geelong, which was false and has been refuted by the Health Minister. This scare mongering is unsettling residents and their families with concerns for ongoing care and safety in what is essentially their own home. Like many residents at these care facilities and their families, I strongly encourage the ANMF to be more compassionate as its wages this cruel campaign against State Government.

Tunnel of waste THE CRITICISM of state MPs Ian Treize, John Eren, Lisa Neville and Gayle Tierney of the Napthine Government’s $8 billion east-west tunnel plan reiterate growing concerns (Independent, 18 October). The misplaced expenditure on the proposed link over public transport expansion is serious given the latter is a key component of the world’s best cities’

infrastructure and Melbourne’s burgeoning growth for up to five decades hence. It’s a pity self-interest prevents the RACV and TAC from having the character of responsible corporate citizens that go into bat as a priority over the longer term for the greater good. Richard Worland Manifold Heights

Students’ cup of inequity GEELONG Racing Club is a fair dinkum dinosaur and has missed a wonderful opportunity. It saw fit once again to restrict its concessional entry price for the Geelong Cup to age pensioners, disability support and TPI pensioners. What about the 12,000 students at Deakin University and the 10,000 and more at Gordon Institute of TAFE? No attempt to encourage these wonderful young people to attend Geelong’s major race meeting for a special social day out. Why not? After all, they represent the future of our society and followers of thoroughbred horse racing in the city and this country. Relatively few would be attracted to spending $30 for admittance and then be faced with the horrific mark-up on food and drinks including water. Stephen Brown Geelong West

Jobless out of the races GEELONG Racing Club provided a concessional entry price of $20 for age, disability and TPI pensioners at this year’s Geelong Cup. Most, if not all, racing clubs in the state offer a similar concession. However, no concession is offered to the 12,000 men and women in the Geelong area on unemployment benefits. These unfortunates are forced to survive on 40 per cent less than the generous financial benefits paid to those on the age pension and many through no fault of their own. Why actively discriminate against the unemployed? What about a fair deal for the most economically and socially disadvantaged in our community? While relatively few see fit to go to the cup, it is the principle that counts and a little bit of fair dinkum compassion would seem to be in order in the 21st Century. Time to come of age, methinks.

FREE family entertainment will mark the opening of the camping season at St Leonards Community Festival next week. Festival organiser Ken Foxcraft said the seventh annual event would cater to all ages, with a new skateboard tuition acitivity targeted at teenagers. “We don’t pretend to run the same sort of festivals like they have at Portarlington because we’re much smaller but that’s part of our attraction as well,” Mr Foxcraft said. The festival will begin 9.30am and finish 4.30pm on 2 November at St Leonard’s Primary School oval.

By NOEL MURPHY A GENERATION of rock fans grew up to the strains of Grasshopper belting out ’60s and ’70s hits on the Geelong pub circuit. The Golf View, now the Sphinx, the Sundowner, Dinosaur, Grovie hotel and Waurn Ponds pubs were all jam-packed stomping grounds for the band’s long-haired four-part harmonies and thumping tunes. Grasshopper covered everyone from the Stones through Procul Harum, The Doors and The Beach Boys to Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Hollies and The Beatles. Spearheaded by Greg Bee, the band appeared on national television, backed The Searchers and worked as support for major Aussie artists of the day such as Ronnie Burns, Mississippi, Col Joy and Brian Cadd. Now the group’s back and playing better than ever on all cylinders, says keyboard player Frank Adams. The band was a live-music fixture for a decade before packing up for 30 years, bar one of two special reunion performances. But Adams said the members met up five years ago “for a few red wines to talk over the old days”. “Out came the guitars and the harmonies, they still worked and we looked at one another and said, ‘Let’s get together again and have a bit of fun’,’’ he said.

“Since then we’ve recorded six CDs for ourselves at the lead singer’s studio and over a period of time we’ve become very serious. We’ve done a lot of jobs in the past couple of years.” Adams said Grasshopper would “return to the scene of the crime” next at North Geelong’s Sphinx on 9 November. Grasshopper comprises original members Adams, Bee on lead vocals and guitar, George Juszczak on bass and newcomer Colin McIntosh. “We’ve written few original things but our criteria has been a focus on classic sixties songs - Beatles, Stones, Beach Boys, Creedence, The Hollies, Spencer Davis,” Adams said. The band’s set list includes songs like Gimme Some Lovin’, Down on the Corner, Surfin’ USA, Sergeant Pepper, Back in the USSR, Satisfaction, Love Her Madly, Whiter Shade of Pale, Sherry Baby, Venus, Yellow River and Eagle Rock. “For us, it’s a really special thing to be back together and sounding better than ever - there’s better equipment, PA systems and mics and a bit more musical knowledge,” Adams grinned. “We played the RSL on our first gig back and it was packed out. We did harmonies warm-up upstairs then walked down and everyone started clapping. “We were on a real high.”

Jirrahlinga off to races

BARWON Heads’ Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary will celebrate Melbourne Cup eve with a fun-filled evening of racing events to raise funds for disabled animal-lovers. Jirrahlinga director Tehree Gordon said the Jirrahlinga Cup would feature phantom horse races, bookies, silent auctions and a fashions-on-the-field competition. “We’ll have big screens like you have at the races and show actual real races from around the world. The person who has the most successful night takes away a cup.” Gordon said all proceeds would contribute to a new Sensory Experience Centre for disabled people to experience the sanctuary through feeling, smelling and hearing its wildlife. “Jirrahlinga is about educating people. We cater for people who have a disability, a special need, the frail or the aged and young people who have been

socially disadvantaged,” Gordon said. “What better therapy could there be than to come into a supportive environment to visit native Australian animals without placing demands on a person’s physical or mental capacities?” Geelong’s Paula Kontelj will host the ‘fashions on the field’ event, with Renee Enright and Darryn Lyons judging. The first prize winner will receive a $1000 voucher from Australian Skin Face Body. Gordon said Jirrahlinga had dreamed of the Sensory Experience Centre since 2003. “It’s amazing how the community are coming together to support this project.” The Jirrahlinga Cup will run from 7pm to 11pm on 4 November at The Pier, on Geelong’s waterfront. Tickets cost $65 from trybooking. com/dmvn or by phoning the centre on 5254 2484.

Tastes of Italy with Perrettis

THE WORD is spreading about Grovedale’s newest traditional Italian-style pizza, pasta and meals restaurant, Perrettis. Owner and chef Simon Parrott established the venue and has been earning the thumbs up from patrons. “People are still discovering us as the word spreads online through our website and social media,” Simon says. The timing is right with Christmas approaching as work groups look for a friendly relaxed function space with top quality yet reasonably priced food options. “We have a lovely function space available catering for up to 60 for stand-up or sit down gatherings for all occasions and wide variety of options to choose from, with our food menu available from $25 per person,” Simon says. Perrettis will conduct children’s pizzamaking classes in the run up to Christmas as a means of getting more kids involved in the kitchen. The staff at Perrettis is also looking forward to the Golden Plate Awards, with the venue nominated in the relaxed dining category. The restaurant is licensed, with a selection of local and Italian wines, beers and ciders available at reasonable prices. Perrettis offers Grovedale residents the convenience of a local eatery without the parking hassles of major shopping centres. Using quality ingredients, Perrettis’ pizzas are thin crust bases topped with well-balanced flavours, creating a range of individual tastes. Simon has also added his personal touch to the range of pasta dishes, with his glutenfree gnocchi with chicken, bacon, mushroom, basil pesto and cream proving a hit. Perrettis is at 286 Torquay Rd, Grovedale, phone 5241 2226.

Purple reigned for relay event BELMONT traders have thrown their weight behind this year’s Relay for Life fund-raiser in Geelong. Last week they decorated their shopping precinct purple to help promote the event. Geelong Relay for Life’s Anne Miller praised their support for the annual fund-raiser for cancer. “Local retailers covered Belmont in purple haze and have been tremendous in their support of Relay for Life,” Ms Miller says. “More than 20 stores participated in the Paint Belmont Purple campaign, raising in excess of $6000.” Relay For Life is one of the

Ms Miller says the overnight event features thousands of Australians relaying non-stop as they celebrate cancer survivors, remember its victims and raise vital funds.

Milestone weekend

GEELONG this weekend marks 175 years since its status as an outpost on the edge of civilisation was officially recognised as a township. The proclamation, made on October 26, 1838, by the Colonial Secretary’s office in Sydney, followed the arrival of John Batman at Indented Head in 1835 and squatters soon after. Pioneer Alexander Thomson spearheaded the Geelong settlement, arriving in 1836 after earlier sending one of the first stock shipments, 50 Hereford cows, to Port Phillip and following up with sheep to Point Henry. With other names such as Sutherland, Manifold, Stieglitz, Roadknight, Cowie, Stead, Learmonth and Pollock, Geelong’s pastoral and grazing interests flourished. Governor Richard Bourke visited the settlement from Sydney in 1837 with surveyor Robert Hoddle who drafted the first plan of Geelong. Mr Bourke was “not prepared for the beauty and natural superiority of Geelong and Corio Bay”, wrote historian Walter Randolph Brownhill. “He was the first of a long line of highly placed observers who during the early years of colonisation expressed surprise that Geelong was not ahead of Melbourne,” Mr Brownhill wrote. Mr Thomson said Mr Bourke “remarked that it ought to be the capital of the province”. The township proclamation stated: “Notice is hereby given that a site has been fixed upon for a Township at the undermentioned place, and that a copy of the approval plan may be seen at the office of the Surveyor-General in Sydney, or at the nearest Bench of Magistrates, namely Geelong.” Geelong had no local government, its boundaries were unclear, settlers lived in shacks and tents and roads were muddy, bumpy tracks at best. Yet the township grew rapidly and within four years of being declared a town was a transport and commerce hub of 2000 people - and growing larger and more sophisticated almost daily.

Locally Owned and Operated

JUST like the city itself, Heights Sewing Centre is a Geelong institution. Owned by Ken and Marjorie Wilks for the past 50 years, the friendly sewing centre in Pakington St, Geelong West, was first established in 1935 by Ken’s uncle, Les Height. Since then four generations of Ken’s family has sold sewing machines and haberdashery. Now in its 78th year, Heights also operates a dedicated team of factory-trained technicians for servicing and repairs to all brands of sewing machines and overlockers. Ken enjoys coming to work even after 50 years. It’s a philosophy that has worked well for Geelong’s oldest sewing and haberdashery business. Far from being just a shop, Heights Sewing Centre is a haven for sewing enthusists. It’s a great starting point for people who want to learn about sewing. Happy customers are the most important thing for Ken and his staff who ensure they all leave informed and satisfied. Everyone who purchases a machine or overlocker from Heights receives free instruction on its use and advice about all aspects of sewing. The enchanting and historic store is open 9am to 5.30pm weekdays and 9am to 1pm Saturdays at 176 Pakington St.

Duffs’ 60 years in town MORE than 60 years ago Duff’s Jewellers originator Frank Duff Snr took the “quantum leap� from a regional gift shop to his first jewellery store in Geelong. Grandson Ross recounts how Frank Snr sent sons David and Frank Jnr, fresh out of watchmakers’ school, to set up a store in Ryrie St. “Frank Snr, still running his shop at St Arnaud, got a call from the kids down here saying, ’Shut the shop up there. It’s just so busy down here - we need you.’ And that’s when we began,� Ross explains. The family hasn’t looked back since, with Ross joining the company in 1978, followed by cousins Ben, Leigh and Jordan. Duff’s Jewellers is now into its fourth generation of family members, with Frank’s great-grandson, Sam, also involved. Over the years the business has moved between several stores and undertaken reno-

vations, always staying customer-focussed and committed to the family’s beloved Geelong community. Duff’s Jewellers still provides a traditional jewellery service, with workshops, repairs services and five jewellers on-site. Between its two stores at Market Square and Westfield Geelong, Duff’s Jewellers offers the city’s largest range of jewellery. The company specialises in diamond rings, watches, Pandora jewellery and precious gemstones. Customers can also sit down with Duff’s Jewellers to design or modify their ideal piece. Duff’s Jewellers is proud of its active support within the community through Give Where You Live and partnerships with sports clubs, kindergartens, schools and Australian Breast Cancer Foundation.

Duffs Jewellers’ family members Jordan, Leigh, Ben, Ross, Sam and Jack.

Timber has been a high-profile business in Torquay Rd for the past 15 years. Troy says the need to expand the floor-space for stock has been one of the drivers behind the moves. “The advantage of having a big enough store means we can carry a lot of discontinued and special makes, seconds, offering discounted roll stock. “We’ve seen the industry change with new trends over the years and we have always striven to be at the forefront,� Troy explains. “One of the major transformations we’ve undergone in the last five years is to add the supply and installation of solid timber and

bamboo flooring. “The size of houses has certainly grown, with homeowners seeking greater variety in flooring options, along with sanding and polishing services.� Troy says the new generation of technologically-advanced carpets is also offering home-owners wider choices. The business is one of only a handful in Geelong offering carpets made from the breakthrough Sorona polymer technology using natural corn sugar.

Manager Shelley Dillon says the range and variety of new and used furniture and related products offers customers unsurpassed opportunities to exactly what they want. “We love it when customers take their time to wander around the various sections of the store and explore,� Shelley says. “There’s always a spot peo-

ple want to decorate with just the right piece and there’s every chance they’ll find it here. “Many of our customers just pop in to see what’s new or browse with no intention to buy but end up making a purchase because they found something they could not leave without. “We aim to be as helpful as possible without making the customer feel pressured so it’s a more relaxed shopping experience.� The Big Shed is still Geelong’s only drive-in furniture warehouse, with customers able to load their purchases into their cars or onto trailers while protect-

ed from the elements. Shelley says furniture packages offer even greater discounts on The Big Shed’s already competitive prices, with a delivery service also available.

YEARS 175 SINCE GEELONG WAS PROCLAIMED A TOWNSHIP

The 26th October 2013 is an important milestone in the history of Geelong. This date marks the 175th anniversary of the proclamation of Geelong as a town. Although the event passed with little fanfare at the time it proved to be a major stepping stone in our history. The proclamation meant the location of Geelong, between the bay and the riverbank, was officially ‘fixed upon’. Geelong’s population in 1838 was approximately 1838. Find out more about Geelong’s history at www.geelongaustralia.com.au/heritage or visit the Geelong Heritage Centre, open 10.00am to 5.00pm weekdays in the National Wool Museum.

Slick fixer on deck This requires sanding and is a costly process. “Deck-Doc can help the home-owner to eliminate these problems in order to make wise decisions and to get the job done right the first time around.” Robert says home owners are welcome to come direct to the factory for tips and advice on the different types of oil and waterbased, resin or urethane coatings. “We want to offer home owners advanced knowledge on how the different coatings stand up over a two-year period and the ongoing maintenance required. “From this they can make an informed decision on what coat-

ings would be best for their type of timber and application.” The factory showroom displays a range of oils for various applications, explaining the characteristics of different timbers and how they react to different coatings. Deck-Doc offers a deck and timber care service to clean, oil and stain timber decks and other timber structures. Yearly maintenance can also be arranged. Free quotes are available by phoning Robert on 0402 284 717. Deck Doc is at 53-55 Essex St, Moolap, phone 5248 8164 or visit deckdoc.com.au.

A UNIQUE timber oiling system has been developed and manufactured in Geelong since 2003. Robert Hyland developed Deck-Doc’s unique oiling system, which now sells in major hardware stores throughout Australia. Robert says many home owners are confused about the type of coating best for timber. “Many home owners are unhappy with the coatings they have used and are disappointed with the end result,” Robert says. “The most common problem we get is people complaining about solid membrane coatings that are cracking and peeling off.

MEDICINE is a critical part of many people’s lives, so ensuring doses are accurate and patients understand their condition exactly is vital. Pharmacist Simon Rudderham, of Medical Centre Chemmart Pharmacy, Geelong West, knows the importance of talking with patients to check they’re on top of any health issues. “If they want to know everything is going correctly, we sit down and go through each medication,” he says. “We want people to be confident in the medications they’re taking and understand their condition. “This leads to better health outcomes and happier patients.” Medical Centre Chemmart Pharmacy is within the Health-E Medical Centre on Shannon Ave,

IndyMotor By ALISTAIR KENNEDY THE Honda Accord has come a long way since it first arrived in Australia as a 1.6-litre three-door hatchback in 1977. The ninth-generation model, launched midway through this year, is a four-door sedan that’s around 20 per cent larger than that first model and comes with the option of 2.4-litre four-cylinder or 3.5-litre V6 engines. As well as growing in size over the years, the Accord has also grown in quality and is now bordering on luxury status but, despite a fairly significant hike in the price of the new model, without the luxury price of its German rivals. By their nature conservative cars rarely undergo radical styling changes and the 2013 Accord looks very much like its predecessor. Unlike most model upgrades it’s marginally shorter (25 mm) than before with a 25 mm shorter wheelbase and 10 mm taken off its height. There are now LED low-beam headlights in all but the entry-level model, LED daytime running lights and mirror-mounted turn indicators. There’s plenty of interior space and even with the sunroof in our test car there was plenty of front seat headroom. The 2013 Honda Accord comes with the same choice of four and six cylinder engines as the previous model. All engines are mated to automatic transmissions, five-speed with the four-cylinder and six-

SPOT ON: The 2013 Honda Accord offers luxury cruising at an affordable price for discerning drivers. speed in the V6. Accord comes with four model options. The VTi, VTi-S and VTi-L each get the four-cylinder engine while, as the name indicates, the V6L uses the V6. Honda Accord has a strong emphasis on the safety provided by crash avoidance and/or mitigation features, with many of the items in the Accord normally being seen only in upmarket European cars. These include radar cruise control, lane keeping assistance and automatic emergency braking. Not all items are standard in every model, so check with your dealer or Honda’s website for details. Honda has come up with an interesting blind spot system that

effectively moves and enhances the view from the left-hand side mirror to the Accord’s eight-inch dashboard-mounted screen. Through a camera mounted on the mirror which is activated when the left-turn indicator is activated, the driver gets a clear view to the side and rear of the car. All models do get a threemode reversing camera with selectable options. On the road the Accord is smooth, luxurious and all-but silent inside thanks to its high-tech noise-cancelling system. The ninth generation model takes it to the fringes of the prestige class and, despite price increases of between $3300 and $4700, it remains excellent value.

Top training a boost for staff knowledge at Hunter Cuthill A NEW wave of excitement and enthusiasm is flowing through the skilled technicians at Hunter Cuthill. A group has just returned from experiencing top-flight factory training in the US and Sydney on BMW and Land Rover vehicles. The week-long training upgraded the technicians on the latest technology coming through on the new models of both marques, including Mini. Hunter Cuthill’s Adam Hunter says the training offered new knowledge to add to the extensive experience of the staff. “The crew really appreciate knowing their stuff so they can work on customer’s cars to the best of their ability. “While the technology is similar between vehicles of the same marque, the factory training enables us to ensure all vehicles are correctly diagnosed when they come into our workshop.” The training complements the latest computer diagnostic equipment capable of diagnosing all systems on all BMW and Land Rover models, ensuring new-car warranties remain unaffected. Hunter Cuthill is also the top option for Peugeot, Renault and Citroen owners as well as all Jaguar, Mini, BMW and Land Rover models. Hunter Cuthill is the only service centre in Geelong outside of direct dealers to have the leading software and diagnostic equipment for these prestige brands. The workshop also uses Castrol oils as recommended by Land Rover and BMW. Booking a service at Hunter Cuthill is now even more convenient, with the on-line booking service plus the availability of two courtesy cars. Hunter Cuthill is at 9 Autumn St, Geelong West, phone 5229 4299 or email service@huntercuthill. com.au.

IndySport Cats seek form after stumbles GEELONG Cricket Club undid all the good work of its first two games this season, losing both last weekend’s matches to St Kilda and Northcote. Saturdays’s 97-point loss to St Kilda was definitely one to forget but the Cats backed up on Sunday to go down by just two wickets in the last over. Justin McPhee’s 4/50 on Saturday was the only highlight for the weekend with the ball, while Hayden Butterworth again starred with bat on Sunday, making an excellent 121 not-out from just 100 balls in a performance that will surely see state selectors put a big tick next to the hard-hitting batsman’s name. The Cats host Ringwood tomorrow in the last round of one-day games for the time being and will be desperate to get back on the positive side of the win-loss ledger. In Geelong Cricket Association, two-day matches begin again this weekend. The pick of the games looks like the clash of undefeated sides North Geelong and East Belmont at Winter Reserve.

Local

cricket Jim Timberlake

North has again started the season on fire with three wins from as many starts, although none were against any of last year’s finalists. The Thorne brothers have shown the way so far, with Jacob making 89 not-out last week and Zac the pick of the bowlers at 2/32. East Belmont has won both of its starts convincingly after failing to getting on a wet Burdoo Reserve track in round one. Many would have been watching to see whether the side fell away after losing so many talented players following last year’s premiership but the Lions have reinvented themselves to show they will once again be a threat. Talented Englishman Matt Lineker has returned to captain the club and has continued the form that

produced close to 2000 runs in the northern summer. On paper, North Geelong’s thin bowling attack looks to hold the key here. As was the case last year, North really needs its quicks to provide some early penetration to threaten the strong East Belmont batting line-up. Selections: GEELONG CIY v Murgheboluc, LEOPOLD v St Josephs, GROVEDALE v Geelong West, EAST BELMONT v North Geelong, South Barwon v NEWTOWN & CHILWELL, LARA v Highton. Division two also has a cracking early-season game scheduled, with first-placed Bell Post Hill taking on second-placed Thomson at Godfrey Street Oval to determine the early premiership favourite. For the Panthers, Chris Moreland is the leading run-maker in the division, while veteran Grant Dew is nipping at his heels with a handy 70 not-out last week. Chris McIlvenny has snared nine wickets already and Adrian Saltalamacchia has seven. Thomson will look forward to the arrival of

English import Johnny Kettle to add some batting strength, which will be needed because they are likely to be a bowler short of winning this one. Other selections: St Alban’s Breakwater v MANIFOLD HEIGHTS, MODEWARRE v Alexander Thomson, St Peter’s v GUILD ST MARY’S, TORQUAY v Waurn Ponds, Marshall v NEWCOMB & DISTRICT. Reigning premier Bell Park sits atop the division three ladder after enjoying a relatively easy draw so far. That might change this week against Corio, which has shown good early-season form. Jamie Spiller has been in incredible form with over 200 runs already for the Dragons, while young gun Anthony Grace has nearly 100 for Corio. Interestingly, Corio has four bowlers with four or more wickets, while Bell Park has just one. This potent bowling line-up makes Corio favourite. Other selections: INVERLEIGH v Lethbridge, Bannockburn v WINCHELSEA, LITTLE RIVER v Shelford, TEESDALE v North Shore, Meredith Bye.

Gordon Knowles best with monster snapper as big reds go on the bite THE past week there’s been some exceptionally big snapper captures, with Gordon Knowles’ 10.8kg monster last weekend probably the best. Gordon caught his big fish in 18m off St Leonards while fishing for gummy shark with a strip of cured eel. Ian Szkirka was also lucky, with his largest snapper weighing over 10kg. Alan Browse hooked up on quality snapper with soft plastics off Clifton Spring on Monday morning, while Corey Gallagher also caught some on the same method. The bend in the channel to Wilson Spit should be productive for big snapper in the next few weeks. Snapper captures from the inner harbour were down but fish were still taken late in the evenings after the wind dropped. Grant Dwyer fished the Stingaree Bay spoil grounds with fresh pilchards on Monday night for a bag-limit catch of big fish to 5.3kg. Pike were increasingly common captures for anglers fishing lure in both the inner and outerharbours. Soft plastics and small hard-bodied lures were well on this species when fished anywhere with grass beds or deep

drop-offs. Land-based anglers should look to either North Shore rocks on the low tides during evenings or Geelong’s waterfront on high tides. Queenscliff’s cut again produced silver trevally and snapper on soft plastics. Turtleback worms or curl-tail grubs were best, with the lead-up to high tide the most productive. Anglers also reported squid hitting soft plastics in the area, with a quick change to a jig sure to produce some calamari. Troy Andrews drifted the shallow grass beds off the Swan Bay’s for a bag-limit catch of squid. He then used some for bait in deeper water for a catch of 18 whiting to 44cm. Paul Parker also found whiting in numbers near Inner Governor Reef, catching his bag limit in under two hours. Paul reported that anglers nearby had similar results. Swan Bay’s jetty produced plenty of garfish when conditions

MONSTER MATCH: Ian Szkirka with a pair of big snapper, the largest over 10kg. allowed. Anglers using berley and silverfishe baits enjoyed the best results.

The water temperature was still low but some quality flathead were still taken at the entrance to

Swan Bay. Gerry Gardener landed two just over two kilograms each while fishing blue bait under a small float last weekend. Surf angling was limited but Black Rock should be worthwhile for snapper and whiting in the evenings. Sandy water along most of the coast resulted in few salmon captures, although Danny Glover spun the rocks at Cinema Point for a dozen to almost two kilograms. Small barracouta were also present, biting off plenty of lure losses. Ballarat’s Lake Wendouree again produced trout. Mudeye was the best bait, although lure or fly also worked. The odd big redfin was also taken at the lake. Moorabool Reservoir rewarded Stuart Platter for casting Nories Laydown minnow lures with four fish, including a magnificent brown trout of 2.4kg. Stuart caught all his fish late in the evening when the wind was light. Charlie Hope caught a 3.6kg brown trout at Lake Purrumbete while trolling a Tassie Devil in the pink and black colour with a downrigger at nine metres. Persistent anglers caught trout and redfin in the favourable water at Wurdee Boluc Reservoir. Lure

was the favoured method, with deeper-running bibbed lures best. Further afield, Lake Toolondo remained one of the best destinations for bait anglers using mudeye. Fly angling should come into its own at the lake as the weather warms. The annual Ron Nelson Fishing Clinic will be on again at North Geelong’s Seagull Paddock Lake on Sunday. The free event for children aged to 16 is hosted by the Association of Geelong and District Angling Clubs. Rainbow trout were liberated especially for the event, beginning at 9am. Registrations and more information are available by phoning Ian Pickering on 5266 1008 or John Hotchin on 5248 6817. Snapper should be high on everyone’s list this weekend, with the tides ideal late in the evening for anywhere from Clifton Springs to Point Henry. Stay close to the channel without anchoring it and use fresh baits such as squid, pilchard or salmon fillets.
