“As there is a Yarra Valley Water access point close by and because people were ignoring the OH&S warnings, the standpipe was decommissioned,” he said. Mr Balog said he had no knowledge of locks or signage being placed on the stand, and said he wanted it back and available for public use. He said that he did not object to the council bringing the standpipe back and charging users for water taken. “I’m not begging for free water,” he said. “I want it restored - like all these people I’ve been talking to - and to have it clearly signposted that it’s only for people without town water.” Mr Balog said that residents would truly feel the sting of the pipe’s absence during summer, and said he wanted it back before the fire season began. “That water is needed for people who do not have town water,” he said. “It is its primary purpose and people depend on it.” Mr Varmalis was asked whether people using the standpipe before it was removed were breaking the law. He said that, under the Safe Drinking Water Act 2003, Yarra Valley Water must ensure any water taken from hydrants or filling stations was ‘used appropriately’. “Both Yarra Valley Water and council cannot ensure that is the case for an uncontrolled standpipe,” Mr Varmalis said. He said that Yarra Valley Water had a system where residents and businesses obtain a permit to take water from filling stations or hydrants, and that users without a permit were breaking the law. “Any person using the standpipe for either domestic or commercial use without a permit is in breach of Yarra Valley Water - Water Restriction Bylaws and the Safe Water Drinking Act 2003,” he said. Mr Balog said he planned to deliver the petition to the council eventually, and that he would not give up his fight.

A YARRA Glen man has demanded the council return a decommissioned water standpipe for public use, and has rallied hundreds of community members behind the cause. But the Yarra Ranges Council has said the pipe was used illegally by residents and businesses, and was shut down for ‘occupational health and safety’ reasons after the council was left $4000 out of pocket. Joe Balog has asked the council to return a water standpipe, decommissioned on 31 July, to the corner of Steels Creek Road and Yarra GlenEltham Road. Mr Balog, who lost his house in the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires and does not have a water connection, said the loss of the water access was a blow to people who depended on it for dayto-day water supplies. He said that other residents had been incensed by the standpipe being removed, and that he had 497 signatures on a petition calling for its return. According to Mr Balog, the standpipe had been accessed by community members who weren’t connected to a water main, and said it would be hard for residents to stay well-supplied over summer. Yarra Ranges Council’s Director of Environment and Engineering, Mark Varmalis, told the Mail that residents and businesses had been using the pipe to avoid paying for water through Yarra Valley Water. Mr Varmalis said that in the last financial year, council was charged $4122 for the water taken from the pipe. “It works out to be over 1.4 million litres of water per year, or approximately 3900 litres per day - the average person uses 149 litres per day,” he said. The standpipe, which was under council control, had signage placed on it directing users to a Yarra Valley Water supply point 80 metres away, and had locks placed on it to restrict access. These were cut off by unknown people.

Full Boer marriage

Aidan King, Kate Fyander and Darcy Haag are Under the Arch.

By KATH GANNAWAY THE Boer family had only been in Australia for a couple of weeks when Mrs Boer sent young Henk and his brother John out on an important mission. “You boys are the ambassadors,” she said. “See if you can find us a church.” They picked the nearby Wandin Yallock Methodist Church, and it turned out to be a fortuitous choice. It was where Henk, just off the boat from Holland and the eldest of seven, met Gwen Pike, the second oldest of the eight Pike children living in Wandin. Their first date was as part of the church youth group and, in spite of the language barrier - Henk didn’t speak a lot of English - it blossomed into a romance that has stood the test of time. Henk did the traditional thing and asked Mr Pike for his daughter’s hand in marriage and on a beautiful, sunny 28th of August, 1954, they were married - in the church where they’d met. “I must confess, I didn’t think I had much to offer,” Henk said of his proposal. “I came here completely penniless, lived in a shed in Clegg Road and had only been here a little over four years when we married,” he said. The wedding was a simple affair. Gwen made her own wedding dress, including hand-sewing pearls onto the bodice, and it was catered for by the Ladies’ Guild of Churches at around five shillings and sixpence a head. For the Boer family, Henk said, it was an important, happy day. “I was the first to get married and after coming here with nothing and being accepted by the Wandin community, and marrying a local girl, that was a big thing,” he said. Henk started work the day after he arrived in Australia and as a couple they shared a strong work ethic, buying a fish

Fresh take on freedom By JESSE GRAHAM

Henk and Gwen Boer look back as they celebrate 60 years of marriage. 128406 Picture: ROB CAREW shop in Warburton and after seven years establishing Boer Brothers Frozen Foods in Yarra Junction which they ran for 30 years. They raised their three boys, Geoff, Peter and Ian, and served on the Chaplaincy Committee at Upper Yarra Secondary College for over a decade. Henk still mentors at Wesburn Primary School - and still consults in the food industry.

Gwen and Henk said they were looking forward to celebrating their anniversary with the boys and their families, including nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, later this month when the family is able to all be together. On the question of what makes a happy marriage, Gwen says one of Henk’s favourite sayings sums it up ... “It’s not getting the right person, it’s being the right person.”

A THREE-piece Yarra Valley band has been announced as a finalist in a career-changing competition, and is asking for public support to bring them out on top. Under the Arch, a band made up of Yarra Valley residents, Kate, Darcy and Aidan, were recently announced in the top 12 finalists in the Bank of Melbourne’s Melbourne Music Bank competition. The competition, which asks musicians and bands to submit an original song inspired by Victoria’s capital city, has been whittled down to the top 12 entrants, and the songs are now open for public voting. Under the Arch’s song, Free, is about the freedom that Melbournites have in their city. “It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor you can fall in love with this great city and get lost in a dream,” their profile reads. After the round of public voting finishes on 12 October, the 12 finalists will be cut down to the top four, who will perform at the Melbourne Recital Centre on 29 October. A panel of judges will then select the overall winner, who

will have 500 CDs recorded and printed, a film-clip recorded, as well as marketing and publicity advice, their song featured in an ad for the bank and performance opportunities. Kate, who sings and plays guitar in Under the Arch, told the Mail that the band was trying to rally as much public support as possible, to try and get into the top spot. She said that the bands did not have information on how many votes they had collected thus far, but were relying on friends, family and music-lovers to give them a leg-up. “We’ve just got to trust that people like us and are voting for us,” she said. Under the Arch’s musical style is inspired by John Butler, Angus and Julia Stone and Iron and Wine, and the song was written in just four days for the competition. The song was recorded at Badger Creek’s Momentum Studios by Michael Hardinge. To listen to Free, and to vote in the Melbourne Music Bank competition, visit webapps.bankofmelbourne. com.au/melbmusicbank. Voting closes on 12 October.

House is now history

Walk down histor y lane is now forever By JESSE GRAHAM THE history of Healesville will be on permanent display later this year, with Rotary working with community groups to establish a heritage walking trail. The Historic Walk, which is expected to open late November, is a project being undertaken by the Rotary Club of Healesville, the Healesville and District Historical Society and Healesville 150. Using the town’s 150th year as a platform, the walk will consist of plaques at 25 different locations with historic information and photographs. Stretching from the old Courthouse (now the Visitor Information Centre) through to the Mechanic’s Hall and including the Timber Tramline, the Palais and more, the four kilometre walk will be accompanied by a booklet with more information. Rotarian John Robinson said he was inspired to get the walk happening after seeing a similar project in Perth years ago. “I thought ‘what a great idea that’d be good for Healesville’,� he said. After a meeting with council representatives and the Historical Society, the local project began moving. Mr Robinson said last week he

picked up the first production run of the plaques - which will be mounted on posts and covered in enamel. He said he expected the final plaques to all be installed before the end of November, just in time for the end of the 150th year, and that the walk would offer tourists and residents a glimpse at the history of the town. “I just think it’s an ideal way of teaching tourists a little bit about the town - particularly the history of it,� he said. “It gives you a bit more of an understanding of what a town was and is, rather than just looking at how it is today.� Healesville and District Historical Society president Kevin Mason said the walk would be a ‘marvellous’ addition to the town. “Lots of folks like to know some of the background to these older buildings we have - or what was there before,� he said. “This is going to give a great opportunity for those folks to relive those days of yesteryear. “It’s going to be a real asset for tourism in Healesville.� For more information about other projects celebrating Healesville’s 150th birthday, visit healesville150. org

POLICE are still investigating the circumstances of a house fire, believed to be deliberately lit, which destroyed a heritage-listed Healesville building last month. The fire, which started about 10.30pm on Monday 22 September, destroyed the house at 122 Maroondah Highway, with CFA crews working for an hour and a half to extinguish the blaze. Lilydale Criminal Investigation Unit (CIU) Acting Sergeant Detective Anthony Thomas said police were investigating the circumstances of the fire and were asking witnesses to come forward. “What we’re relying on at this stage is, if there’s any information, for people to notify Crime Stoppers,� Acting Sgt Thomas said. “We’re still looking for the exact cause, and we’re looking for public assistance.� He said there was no new information on the investigation, and that an arson report was pending. The fire was deemed suspicious by police, and arson chemists attended the scene of the fire the day after it was extinguished.

She said her award-winning sponge recipe was adapted from her grandmother’s original recipe 20 years ago, and that she had been entering the Melbourne Show’s cooking competitions for the last 43 years. A former racehorse trainer, Ms Fleay now drives trucks full-time, and said her recipes were proof that people could make cakes, even when they’re short on time. “The recipes I want to write are for busy people - it’s not hard to make cakes, it’s quick and easy, and much better than buying the ones at the supermarket,� she said.

A FORMER Healesville resident with over four decades of accolades under her belt has out-baked the competition for another year at the Royal Melbourne Show. Angela Fleay was last week awarded with the McRobert Family Memorial Award, an honour given to the most successful cooking exhibitor at the show. The award is her ninth thus far, and complements blue ribbons earned in each of the 43 years she has entered baked goods for judging at the annual event. This year, Ms Fleay said she entered items ranging from scones and biscuit to sponge cakes and breads. But she said entering the show wasn’t about the prizes or the ribbons, but simply about taking part, meeting new people and displaying family recipes old and new. “I just love baking as a general rule, and I love the enjoyment peo-

Compassion is not always easy WE SEEM to be pulled apart lately when it comes to being compassionate. We get angry quickly when someone stirs our sense of injustice and what we believe to be right or wrong. Recently Justice Lex Lasry handed down a sentence that many thought was too lenient. He said that he could see that this young man whom he was sentencing, even though culpable of killing three people while on ice, still had a future somewhere and could be rehabilitated - there was an outcry. However, there was also an outcry at government money being spent on a court challenge. At times we see people on the streets in a down state and don’t really know what their life story is but we often are quick to judge.

State boost for mental health By KATH GANNAWAY FUNDING which will see the continuation of a partnership between Eastern Health and police dealing with acute mental health responses in Yarra Ranges has been welcomed by regional police. The Victorian Government last week announced that Eastern Health would receive $909,000 as part of a new Mental Health and Police Response (MHaP Response) program. Minister for Mental Health Mary Wooldridge said the funding was part of a $15.1 statewide investment over four years which would allow individual health providers, police and emergency services teams to develop their own, unique and local mental health crisis response. Eastern Region Divisional Commander, Superintendent Graeme Arthur, said police had been working with Eastern Health as part of a trail program (PARTS) for the past two years where police and clinicians worked together in first response situations to mental health call-outs. MHaP is a follow-on of that initiative for which funding into the future was uncertain.

Supt Arthur said while he hadn’t seen the detail of the funding as yet, any assistance which supported police in what was a 24/7 job for them, was very welcome. The program involved a mental health clinician working with a police officer from Ringwood police station every day, covering the afternoon-night time frame when police get most call outs. He said having a qualified mental clinician working to streamline a process which had in the past resulted in police taking a patient to hospital having to wait for several hours for admission, worked well. “What this does is streamline a lot of the processes where a qualified mental health clinician can do all the paperwork before you get to hospital and that’s been a great benefit for us to be able to get the person to hospital safely and healthily and then go on about our business,” he said. Supt Arthur said there had been an increase in the number of call outs for mental health in the Outer East where, next to family violence, it had become a significant issue for police dealing with situations which can turn into critical incidents for both police and

for the community. He identified the increase in ice as one factor, but said there were others including alcohol and other drugs. Police have basic training in responding to situations where mental health is an issue, but Supt Arthur said it was an area where they would like to do more. “Police aren’t trained mental health clinicians, but we’re expected to attend and do the best we can. If we could have a clinician working with police 24/7, we would do it,” he said. Supt Arthur said while police will always be part of the response, they cannot be the solution. “I guess what I would want to emphasise is that with any of problems we have, and ice is a big one, the expectation from the community and mental health is that police can solve these problems. “We can go and respond to an incident, but we need long-term solutions and strategies to solve these problems. That comes from agencies, the broader community, service organisations, council ... anybody who can provide support in relation to this issue and a lot of others so we can prevent - not just respond.”

Healesville CFA Captain, Graeme Bates, has urged other parties to support funding for a new Picture: JESSE GRAHAM fire station. 128515

All parties back new station By JESSE GRAHAM HEALESVILLE’S CFA Captain has welcomed an election pledge from the Premier for a new station in town, and has called on other parties to back the promise. On 23 September, Premier Denis Napthine announced that, if the Coalition was re-elected in the 29 November State Election, the government would provide $1.75 million for a new CFA station. Dr Napthine said the money would cover the costs of purchasing land and constructing the station. Healesville CFA Captain, Graeme Bates, said he was surprised by the announcement, but welcomed the idea for a new station. He said that firefighters’ gear

was stored with the firetrucks and can get dirty from diesel fumes, and that the brigade had outgrown the space. “There’s minimal car parking out the front, and when we have other brigades here, there’s nowhere for them - the block is just too small,” he said. “We need a new site and a bigger station - hopefully this happens,” he said. Labor candidate, Sally Brennan, said she would not rule out matching the funding, but criticised the Coalition for cutting funding to the CFA in recent years. “Labor has always recognised the importance of the CFA and the importance of being properly resourced,” she said.

Independent candidate, Bruce Argyle, said that he would campaign for the funding for the station if elected - regardless of which party wins government. He said that, while the funding was ‘fantastic’, the CFA brigades in the valley needed updated equipment, such as new fire trucks. Greens candidate, Marie Sellstrom, said she welcomed the funding. “I welcome any money put into fire prevention and fire services in rural areas,” she said. Seymour MP and Eildon candidate, Cindy McLeish, said the funding was an investment in the Healesville CFA, which has serviced the area for 120 years. Only 53 days remain until the State Election.

This industr y standing for the tall timber By KATH GANNAWAY THE annual Timber Memorial Service in remembrance of pioneers, sawmillers and others who have worked in the timber industry will be held at Woori Yallock on Saturday 11 October at 11am. More than 200 people attended the inaugural service in 2009 and the service has become an important event for many families from around the Yarra Valley and further afield. The service is held at the Heritage Pioneers Chapel in Woori Yallock where a gi-

ant log stump dedicated to the late Keith ‘Bones’ Poynton, stands as the lectern. Mr Poynton was killed in a logging accident in 2006. The memorial service was initiated by Chapel committee member Pat Ingram whose husband Phillip Dickson was killed at the Powelltown Sawmill in 2008. Over the years other families have contributed photos, stories and other memorabilia honouring timber workers. To include a loved one’s memory in the Timber Memorial Service, phone Leonie Lang on 9800 3000.

Support spending I READ with interest a letter from the respective independent candidates for Croydon and Evelyn in last week’s paper (Been Here Before, True TAFE - Take 2, Mail Opinion, 30 September). I thank the candidates for acknowledging the $200 million fund the Coalition Government has invested in to support Victorian TAFEs. This extra support is in stark contrast to the underfunded and inefficient training system left behind by Labor. I note the detailed points introduced in the candidates’ letter but fail to see why the faults of the former Brumby Labor government were not properly acknowledged. It was, of course, Labor’s bungled reforms in 2008 that exposed Victoria’s TAFEs to competition from private providers with no support. The Coalition has worked hard to fix this

Swenrick

will continue to set a benchmark that is replicated by other states. Christine Fyffe MP, State Member for Evelyn.

Crime prevention benefit I AM pleased to inform Yarra Ranges residents that the Napthine Coalition Government has provided more than $500,000 in crime prevention funding across the municipality since 2011. This money has been used to fund 24 diverse crime prevention projects from projects to improve lighting in public places, to projects to keep young people engaged, improved lights, locks and alarm systems on a number of valuable community facilities and funding for multiple projects to tackle the scourge of graffiti. The key to these projects is that they were proposed by people in your community to solve

safety problems in your community. The Coalition Government’s crime prevention philosophy is to listen and facilitate, not dictate. I take this opportunity to commend your local Liberal MPs - Christine Fyffe, Cindy McLeish, Brad Battin and candidate for Monbulk Mark Verschuur - for their fierce advocacy of these projects on behalf of residents and the community. The Yarra Ranges community should also be aware that Daniel Andrews has removed the crime prevention portfolio from Labor’s front bench. Only a re-elected Coalition Government is promising to continue funding great community safety projects such as these in the next term of government. Edward O’Donohue, Crime Prevention Minister.

mess and funding for TAFEs has increased by 23 per cent to $600 million since 2010. Melba, a well-known disability services provider, has recently announced that it will operate out of the former Lilydale TAFE site. By trashing training opportunities in the outer east, Mr Martin and Mr McAleer have not only misrepresented the facts but have sought to talk down our students who are developing skills that will lead to rewarding and meaningful employment. The Napthine Government has committed to invest almost $5 billion over the next four years in Victoria’s TAFE and training system. The Coalition’s $1.2 annual funding investment is 50 per cent more than the last budget Labor delivered in 2010.

Melba is on the move By MELISSA MEEHAN MELBA Support services will move its adult training support to the former Swinburne campus in Lilydale. The not-for-profit organisation, which supports people with disabilities, announced last week that it was relocating from Ormeau Road, Mount Evelyn. But Melba chief executive Glenn Foard said the organisation would still have a strong presence with its three locations in Mount Evelyn, including its Wray Crescent shopfront. He said Melba would still be a part of the Mount Evelyn Chamber of Commerce and METIC. “We are grateful to Swinburne University for making one of the buildings

on the campus available for our use,� Mr Foard said. “It is a perfect location and a great building. “The building is accessible for people who use wheelchairs and has sufficient space to meet the needs of people we support.� Melba provides training to adults with disabilities, focusing on pre-vocational and vocational skills, communication, literacy, numeracy and daily living skills. Melba programs fall within the current ‘public use-education’ zoning for the Lilydale site. Under the terms of the agreement, Melba will rent the building from Swinburne. “This new location will enable us to

expand our capacity and meet the local need for our training services,� Mr Foard said. “People using our services will benefit from being closer to public transport and community facilities. “We want to remain part of the Mt Evelyn community but we also want to play a greater role in the Lilydale community and service the entire Shire of Yarra Ranges. “We are looking forward to building relationships with businesses, the Lilydale High School and local community groups.� Mr Foard said Melba would work collaboratively with any other services or organisations that may relocate to the campus in the future. He said the current property where

Melba resided highlighted a number of safety issues including bushfire and falling trees. A buyer for the site is currently in discussions with Melba. Swinburne vice chancellor Professor Linda Kristjanson said Melba Support Services’s move to the site was in line with the university’s commitment to creating a positive future for the former campus. “In considering the future of Lilydale, we have been guided by the principle that we want the site returned to productive use. “The work of Melba Support Services clearly meets that principle.’’ Evelyn MP Christine Fyffe said the decision by Melba to move is one she wholeheartedly supported.

“Melba has, for many years, had a fantastic reputation as a leader in their field. “I am continually humbled by the work they do and the care, respect and consideration they show to people with disabilities,� Ms Fyffe said. “Having their training located at the former Swinburne University site will enable them to ensure that the people they work with can access services and facilities in Lilydale and opens up their services to people across the whole region.� Melba Support Services will gradually start moving into its new home next month. The Swinburne Lilydale campus closed on 1 July last year.

Glass full of pride for top winery By JESSE GRAHAM SEVILLE Estate dominated the competition in the Yarra Valley Wine Show earlier this month, taking out four trophies and almost scraping an Australia-wide accolade. The winery’s 2013 Seville Estate Reserve Chardonnay was awarded four trophies at the show on 19 September - Best Chardonnay, Best Single-Vineyard White Wine, Best White Wine of Show and Champion Wine of Show. The wine was also scored a 97 as part of the James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge, beaten to the title of Australia’s best Chardonnay by one point - Margaret River’s Deep Woods Estate

took out the title with its 2013 Reserve Chardonnay, scoring 98 points. Seville Estate owner Margaret Van Der Meulen said that she was ‘outstandingly proud’ of the result. “This has been a particularly standout year for us - we’ve won the best chardonnay before, but never picked up the champion wine of show award,� she said. She said the estate was established in 1972 by Peter McMahon, the grandfather of currentwinemaker Dylan McMahon and that the winery has had a consistent attention to detail that separates it from the rest. “It’s the attention in the vineyard,� she said. “You have to grow exception-

ally good fruit, and good winemaking makes the difference. “They are classic Yarra Valley wines that really show the terroir of the region.� Ms Van Der Meulen said that, as secretary of the show, she was pleased to have the James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge alongside the Yarra Valley Wine Show. “It is extremely gratifying for the Yarra Valley, I think,� she said. “Some of the highly-contested chardonnays were definitely the Yarra Valley ones, and that makes me really proud.� Coombe Farm’s 2011 Coombe Farm Nellie Melba Blanc de Blancs took out the Best Sparkling class while the

2013 Coldstream Hills Esplanade Pinot Noir was marked the Best Pinot Noir, along with Best Single Vineyard Red Wine and Best Red Wine in Show. Yeringberg’s 2012 Yeringberg was awarded the Best Cabernet Sauvignon or blend thereof, Innocent Bystander’s 2013 Mea Culpa Shiraz took out the best in its field, while also scooping the Best Alternative Red Variety for its 2013 Giant Steps Sexton Merlot. Oakridge Wines’ 2009 Oakridge 864 Chardonnay Van Der Meulen Vineyard won Best Museum Wine, Coldstream Hills took out the Most Successful Exhibitor award and Shelmerdine Vineyards’ Lusatia Park Vineyard won Vineyard of the Year.

Teen’s prized stor y By JESSE GRAHAM AN EAGER Badger Creek teenager has been recognised for his work and named alongside dozens of other inspiring Victorians in a new government book. Michael Hardinge, 19, was one of 60 Victorians who had their stories featured in Inspiring Stories by Young Victorians, a book launched by the government on Monday 29 September. In Inspiring Stories, Michael told his story about working with FReeZA volunteers to organise and run live music events, before establishing his own business - Momentum Studios - in 2013. He said that he had always aspired to do cinematography, and was now working on a number of projects, including con-

tracted videography work with Channel 9 and sound recording for musicians. Michael said he was excited to be part of the book. “There’re a lot of people in there who are inspiring and do a lot for their community,” he said. “It’s special to have my story featured in there with some amazing people.” The book was launched by Minister for Youth Affairs, Ryan Smith, who said the young people like Michael were ‘leading the way’ in a number of government programs, such as FReeZA, and forging their future. “It is a privilege and an honour to read the stories that these young people have written and to reflect on how our programs are making a real difference to

young people’s lives,” Mr Smith wrote in the forward to the book. Michael, who is completing Year 12 at Lilydale Heights, said that he was still using the skills he gathered through the FReeZA program as he met new clients in his business. He said his tip for others wanting to get into the same industry was to stay inspired and focused. “Just keep making stuff don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do anything,” he said. “Young people are capable of doing whatever they want, and they should show the older generations what they are capable of.” To download a copy of Inspiring Stories by Young Victorians, visit www.youthcentral. vic.gov.au.

Pages from the past Healesville Guardian 6 October 1934 Yarra Glen School THE unveiling of a bronze tablet in memory of Joseph Furphy (Tom Collins) author of ‘Such if Life, ‘Rigby’s Romance’ and a collection of poems took place in the Yarra Glen School last Saturday. In addition to about 150 local residents, 100 relatives, friends and admirers of Furphy’s work attended, with many coming from distant parts of the state. The Furphy family was represented by Mrs Stewart (sister of Joseph Furphy and the only surviving member of the family). Mesdames

Bryden, Cracknell, Prescott, Jackson and Miss Vera Stewart (niece).

Mystery Wire Found on Mountain WHAT is considered at Healesville to probably be a link with the lost aeroplane ‘Southern Cloud’ has been found in the dense forest on Mount St Leonard by Mr arold Furmston, an experienced local bushman. Working as an employee of the Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works,he penetrated the bush on foot to prepare a firebreak. About half a mile from the firebreak operations, Mr Furmston found a burnt and curiously shaped

piece of brass wire about a yard long with peculiar hooks at the end. The wire or rod closely resembled an aeroplane brace or strut. It has always been felt at Healesville that the ‘Southern Cloud’ would some day be found in this locality and the piece of supposed aeroplane equipment found, strengthens the theory.

Call for calm on cyclists By JESSE GRAHAM POLICE have urged drivers to be respectful of cyclists after frustrated drivers shouted at a rider along the Warburton Highway last month. James Steward was riding along the highway towards Warburton on Saturday 6 September, on a path from Bayswater to Alexandra, when he was harassed by a number of passing motorists. According to a post published on the Facebook page, Cycle, Mr Steward was a few kilometres out from the town when he was passed by drivers who had paused behind him. He said one of the cars honked as it passed, and that a passenger in one of the last cars - a metallic orange Commodore with a P-plate - hung out of the window and shouted at him to get off the road. Minutes later, he said he was passed by a white ute, where the passenger in that car yelled and attempted to push his door open to knock him off off his bike. “Thankfully, the driver was

1153363-CB41-14

a fair distance away, and the vehicle speed meant the wind pressure made it hard to open the door any further I guess,” he said. “Still, it was pretty obvious what the passenger was aiming at.” Mr Steward said he was annoyed by the experience, but wasn’t able to report the incidents to the Warburton Police, as the station was unattended. Warburton Police Sergeant, Tom Wilkinson, said that drivers had to be respectful to cyclists and all others that used the road. “The road is there for all persons,” Sgt Wilkinson said. “While most riders are encouraged to use the Warburton Trail, there are some of the more professional riders that need to utilise the road. “We would ask that they (drivers) show a degree of tolerance and respect for other road users as well.” He said that failing to show proper respect to other road users - including leaving at least one metre when passing

cyclists - could have severe consequences. “It’s not only dangerous, but there could be serious injuries involved,” Sgt Wilkinson said. With a number of winding turns and narrow roads, Sgt Wilkinson encouraged riders to use the Warburton Trail when possible, and to ensure they ‘minimised impact’ on other users when on the road. “Riding single file, as close as they can to the left of the road,” he said. “Roads are pretty windy there - there’re no safety zones, because the shoulders go right to the edge, and it could be quite dangerous. “If they’re going to use the roads, visibility would be very important.” Mr Steward said that rail trails often posed a poorer quality surface than the roads, and sometimes weren’t an option for riders. He said that, after the incidents, the remainder of his ride to Alexandra - a 150 kilometre round trip - was peaceful.

Police have asked riders to use the Warburton Trail rather than roads to ride when possible, but for all to use the roads respectfully. 128501

Ripples down the years THE faded photos that Graham Hetherton carries in his wallet are testament to the impact a road crash can have, even three decades on. When police, CFA, SES and paramedics talk to young drivers at the TRIP programs that have run in the Yarra Valley over the past few years, they speak of ‘the ripple effect’. It’s about how many people are impacted by a serious injury car crash. They also show graphic footage of the injuries that can change lives forever. These programs are aimed at young drivers and for very good reason - statistically they are the ones most at risk of being injured or killed in a crash, or injuring or killing someone else. In Graham’s case, the driver was in his forties, and the ripple effect is not just about the immediate impact, it’s about a lifetime. A random conversation with Graham, and the fact that he’d carried the photos with him all these years, made me think about the legacy of road trauma. Graham’s life, and his family’s, was changed forever on 7 November, 1980, when a drunk driver slammed into his car at Mount Evelyn. He had just picked up his wife, Deanna, their three children and a friend’s daughter from a basketball match and they were on their way home. The photos of the ’69 Falcon show that Graham took the brunt of the crash. “It was a significant time for Graham because he’d worked on the Board of Works for 26 years and all of a sudden he was deemed unemployable,” Deanna said. “His life just changed from one side of the leaf to the other.” Deanna remembers more about the actual crash than anyone. She was in the passenger seat and says the car came towards them, fish-tailing, before losing control. “It’s something you think back on,” she says recalling an incident a couple of weeks ago when they were on their way home from Yarrawonga and experienced a similar situation. “He was further away and didn’t hit us, but that sort of thing makes you feel sick ... you think about it then,” she said. Deanna stayed in the car with Graham who was shockingly injured and struggling to breathe. It took a long time for the ambulance to arrive and the tow truck drivers were getting ready to pull the cars apart when the SES arrived. The scene was chaos with Graham trapped, children injured, and the passenger in the other car also trapped. The driver of the other car was walking around. Looking at Graham, the SES volunteers who were first on the scene, moved on to help others

who they deemed had a chance. “They looked at Graham and said ‘I’m sorry, this fellow’s the last one ... he doesn’t look like he’s going to last’,” Deanna remembers. Two local doctors had arrived and one stayed with him as he was rushed by ambulance to hospital in Melbourne. He clinically died on the way in. Deanna said the doctor didn’t think he could bring him back, but gave it one more go. All these years later they can joke about that. Deanna says they’re Christians so they believe that God just didn’t want him quite so soon. Graham says it was more about job protection - God didn’t want him up there because he knew he would be looking for the top job. His injuries were horrific including broken legs, hip, ribs, pelvis and spleen and his stomach jammed up into his chest. The doctors decided they had no option but to operate to bring his stomach out of his chest. He wasn’t expected to get through the night, and if he did, the brain injury was profound. ‘We were told he would be a vegetable,’ was the colloquial term for the devastating news. He was unconscious for two weeks. As all this was happening, Deanna and the two girls, Barb, 10 and Doris, 13, were in Box Hill Hospital with multiple injuries, and six-yearold Adam was in the Royal Children’s with broken legs, and a hairline fracture of the skull that brought on an epileptic fit. The friend was lucky. She escaped with a black eye. Graham was in hospital for four months, followed by a year of intensive rehabilitation. That was a blessing. “It was the best thing; they taught him how to read and write again ... how to live life again,” Deanna said. The biggest blow for Graham was not being able to go back to his job at the Board of Works where he’d been a plant operator. Graham and Deanna say they were fortunate that they owned their house and there was a payout which enabled them to buy a small hobby farm and raise their children. “There’s no way in a million years that anyone would want to go through what we’ve been through,” Deanna says. “It’s blood money, really.” The Hethertons have two granddaughters who have just got their licences, and another three about to take that step. “You can’t lock yourself in the wardrobe all the time. The road is a gamble, but you have to live and just hope they are not stupid about it,” Deanna said. Having said that, it wasn’t a young and stupid driver who caused their grief.

Sport joins the ice fight By GEORGIA WESTGARTH

and Alfred hospitals. The program is a full-day excursion for students to visit an emergency department and intensive care unit, giving them a first-hand experience of the

harsh reality faced by victims of traumatic injuries, including those affected by ice use. “Education and prevention is a key element to stopping young people

from experimenting with this dangerous drug,” Ms Wooldridge said. To complement these announcements, the ‘What are you doing on ice?’ campaign is underway to educate

young Victorians and parents about the risks of using ice, including a website www.ice.vic.gov.au where people can share stories and find out where to get help.

1153295-EG38-14

THE State Government will work with more than 980 sporting clubs around Victoria to deal with illicit drug problems, including the growing concern of ice. Minister for Mental Health Mary Wooldridge said the State Government would provide the Australian Drug Foundation (ADF) with $200,000 to run programs that tackle ice and other drugs. The Good Sports program, run by the ADF, currently works with sporting clubs to warn young people about the dangers of high-risk drinking. “While alcohol is still the most widely abused drug by young men and women, the increased use of methamphetamines such as ice is a trend we need to address and reverse,” Ms Wooldridge said. “The expansion of the Good Sports program in regional and rural Victoria will enable football and netball clubs to lead the discussion about the dangers of methamphetamine use,” Ms Wooldridge said. The funding will allow more than 980 sporting clubs to act as community leaders in the growing issue of ice in local communities as well as assist in the up-skilling of club leaders to strengthen community resilience to ice. “Local sporting clubs such as football and netball clubs are often the heart of the community and by running drug education, diversion and support programs in this familiar environment, young people and their families can learn about the harsh realities of ice,” Ms Wooldridge said. The State Government has also announced new initiatives in the fight against ice including investing $2.7 million to raise awareness through community forums, as well as spending $2 million in Ice Prevention Grants, designed to help local communities implement their own ideas. Some $1 million has been provided to continue and expand the Prevent Alcohol and Risk-related Trauma in Youth program (PARTY), run jointly by the Royal Melbourne

Strings draw harpist back By JODIE SYMONDS A FORMER Healesville composer and world renowned harpist is to return to the Memo. Michael Johnson, one of Australia’s most acclaimed harpists, will appear at the Memorial Hall in Healesville on 12 October for a rare concert. Johnson’s music has been heard all over the world but will now be returning home. His concert encompasses the music from his new CD, which was written and inspired by his experiences of both the Healesville Sanctuary and the Royal Botanical Gardens. Accompanying Johnson will be other artists including Evripides Evripidou, Matthew and Michael Conolan. His work at the Healesville Sanctuary spanned from 1989-93 and he has recorded numerous CDs. His most memorable piece is Night Flight which celebrates the elegant flight of a local wedge tail eagle that circled the sanctuary stu-

HEALESVILLE’S been infected and Hedgend Maze is ground zero. Halloween at Hedgend was a sell-out event last year. This year organisers are once again looking to wow, but in a different way. Hedgend’s Lea Bowen said last year Hedgend offered Halloween without the fright. With zombies set to take over the park, Ms Bowen said this year would be “all about the fright”. “People said to us last year this is loads of family fun, but where’s the scary stuff?” Ms Bowen said. There will be two separate events catering to a distinctly different audience. For those looking for a more family friendly experience, Halloween at Hedgend will run for three weeks. Fright lovers should look to 31 October. Ms Bowen said this will be the date of Healesville’s “contamination”. The Fright Night will feature a Zombie Apocalypse trail.

Starting at the car park, groups of five or six will take a self-guided tour around the park and through the maze, all the while being pursued by zombies. Hedgend is looking for about 50 volunteers to dress up as the rabid, flesh hungry zombies and chase the park’s visitors. “We’re looking for people of all shapes and sizes, the more the merrier, really,” Ms Bowen said. There will be two rehearsal nights and those interested just need to email their name and clothing size to lea@hedgend.com.au. Ms Bowen said this was something completely different for Hedgend. “Friday night (Fright Night) is a bit of an experiment. The zombie apocalypse is an experiment gone wrong, we’re hoping this is an experiment gone right,” Ms Bowen said. She said the park was hoping to pull a different market and create a new tradition for Healesville. Hedgend Halloween runs for three weeks and is full of family activities.

“It’s loads of fun, there’s the Halloween secret message, the holy pumpkin, fairies crossing over, the pagan patch, it’s all traditional Halloween,” Ms Bowen said. The trail is recommended for people 16 and over. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Children under the age of 13 will not be admitted. For the family friendly, Hedgend Halloween tickets are $20 per person when purchased online. Tickets at the door are $24. “A huge shout out for zombies and people willing to work backstage,” Ms Bowen said. Volunteer positions are available as zombie actors, in costuming and makeup assistance or other back-stage positions. “Anyone who wants to come and be a part of this event, they’re welcome to join us,” Ms Bowen said. For more information check the Hedgend Facebook page www.facebook. com/pages/Hedgend-Maze.

Reflections on 150th

Day for donkey lovers By KATH GANNAWAY EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about donkeys, including just how much fun they can be, will be the focus of a festival at Wesburn in January next year. Linda Jay, representative of the Donkey Society of Victoria in Yarra Ranges, is organising the festival and wants to hear from people who would like to be involved. Linda breeds miniature donkeys on her East Warburton property and has a rescue donkey. She says people will be surprised to discover what an amazing animal the donkey is. “I take my donkeys down the street for walks and while there’s an increasing interest in donkeys, it’s amazing how often people will say they have never seen one before,” Linda said. Donkeys make great pets, are great to ride - particularly good for children learning to ride, and they can also be

taught to pull a cart. Linda says that unlike horses who will run when they are frightened, or zebras whose reaction is to fight, donkeys adapt a more laid-back and intelligent approach. “Donkey instinct is to stop, have a look at the situation and make a decision on what to do,” she said. “Because they don’t have that flight instinct, if someone comes past you on a motorbike for instance, they will just take a step sideways and have a look, making them a much safer ride.” This steadiness, and willingness to serve, goes on display every year when one of her donkeys, Banjo, takes part in the Anzac march at Yarra Junction. “They enjoy being useful, enjoy getting out and about and like the attention they get,” she said, adding that as a pet a donkey was a bit like a big Labrador - responsive, warm and affectionate. The festival is planned for 18 January and will celebrate all things donkey

MOVIES ’S NE IE R U V LBOT MOES E M BES RIC P

For a sinfully good time IN THIS follow-up to 2005’s Sin City, loose ends are tied up and various unlucky people become ensnared in the lawless slum of Basin City. For fans of Sin City and Frank Miller’s graphic novels, A Dame To Kill For is more of the same, which isn’t a bad thing - copious amounts of lurid action and sex, stark aesthetics, grim melodrama and a hardboiled noir style.

But A Dame To Kill For surpasses the original in some aspects. The black-and-white visuals are crisper this time and the dashes of colour more evocative. The film also features a much stronger female lead in Ava Lord (Eva Green), a dynamite femme-fatale. Highlights in the brilliant ensemble cast include the smouldering Green, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a cocky gambler, Powers Booth returning as a monstrous senator and Mickey Rourke as the brutal yet loveable big lug Marv.

With certain characters inexplicably alive, the timeline of A Dame To Kill For doesn’t sync up well with the first film, but the Sin City franchise has always been an anthology series at heart, so don’t mind the wonky continuity. This sequel is also more optimistic than the first film, as despite the good guys being just a lesser breed of scumbag, the film suggests that evil can, in fact, be vanquished. A Dame To Kill For is another stylish dose of compelling, confronting sleaze. - Seth Hynes

Springin’ into it YARRA Ranges Athletics is welcoming back members to the summer track and field where week one produced a perfect spring morning. The fantastic facilities on offer for both track and field were inundated by more than 200 boys and girls aged between five and 16 years. A highlight was the many kids who took advantage of the two free trials to make sure they like it. Going by the looks on their faces organisers think they will make Yarra Ranges Athletics their home. The walks were first up and these events resulted in two centre records, to Tammarah Brown and Claire Noonan. These fantastic performances continued on through the morning with another record to Chelsea Thompson over 100 metres. Other highlights were watching the younger athletes learning and trying new skills such as discus, shotput and the jumps. All these new skills are the basis for most other sports because running, jumping and throwing are incorporated, meaning that athletics is a great place to establish core motor skills. Yarra Ranges Athletics is inviting anyone who would like to take part to email yarrarangesathletics@org.au.

Early wins will be imperative YVCA WITH the football boots stowed away in the cupboard, the sun shone on the valley for the opening round of the Yarra Valley Cricket Association’s 2014/’15 season. For some teams, round one offers the opportunity to blow off a bit of rust, while for others a prime opportunity to finally put practice into action after months of indoor training. With Coldstream exiting from the competition’s premier grade, DJ Strachan Shield, the race for post-season action has certainly intensified as wins early in the season become imperative. Yarra Junction made a perfect start to the new season easily accounting for Mount Evelyn on the road. Batting first, Mount Evelyn made the most of batting friendly conditions and looked on target for a large score at 3/96 courtesy of an excellent partnership between Gareth Fraser (57) and Luke Jones (29). Unfortunately for the home side, they succumbed to consistent Eagles bowling, and folded like a deck of cards to be all out for 155 in the 33rd over. The returning Steven Flutter proved to be an able replacement for some experienced departures leading the charge with 3/22, while new captain and reigning THR Drummond medalist Quinton Hodgkinson showed he is going to be another tough proposition taking 2/17. With 200 a minimum score on the fast Mount Evelyn oval, the Rovers were going to find it tough to keep the Eagles under the target and this certainly proved to be the case. Flutter completed a great all-round performance making 90 not out, and with the support of a solid Marcus Hottes (51) at the other end, the pair didn’t give an inch.

With a well- constructed partnership of 124, the pair led the Eagles to a comfortable eight-wicket victory in the 35th over. The win provides the Eagles with the perfect start in their quest to reaching another grand final, while the Rovers need to get their act together after the disappointment of missing their first finals series in some time last season. At Queens Park, Healesville, the Bloods hosted Hoddles Creek in what turned out to be a tight contest. The home side batted first and patiently compiled a score of 9/145. Stepping back into the top grade, Mark Powell (54) and Aaron Violi (42) showed they’ve still got something to offer the 1st XI with key contributions to the final score. In batting friendly conditions, the Bloods would’ve been aiming for more on the back of these contributions, however batting out the overs is key and they would’ve been quietly confident of defending the score. The experience of the Derix brothers ensured the Wombats had a manageable score to chase with Jeremy capturing 4/42 and Brenton 2/22. Despite their lowly position last season, the one thing you could count on from Hoddles Creek was a battle with the bat and with a good start, a target of 146 was well within reach. Luke Hethrington (42) has been a staple at the top of the Wombats lineup, and his patient and dogged approach provided the perfect platform on which to chase the score. With no other significant contributions from the rest of the order, the visitors floated between glory and disaster. In the end, they managed to keep things together to record a valuable twowicket victory with two overs to spare. The brash Dillon Kerr was the pick of the Blood’s bowlers taking 2/24, while Dylan Moore provided good support

with figures of 2/41. The win gives Hoddles Creek the best possible start to the season after a trying 2013/14 season, while disappointed with a first round loss, the Bloods have something to build on in the coming weeks to rectify the loss. The final game of the round was the most eagerly anticipated of the round with defending premiers travelling to Warburton who had improved their stocks since missing the finals last season. Seville batted first and compiled a well-paced 6/153. After steadily building to 2/64 at drinks, wickets in hand enabled the Blues to kick on and post a decent total. Tim Dwyer continued on from his epic Grand Final knock with 60, while he was ably supported by the reliable Ryan Akers who capitalised on his teammates’ work as his 35 not out added some substance to the score. With the addition of the Lever boys from Yarra Junction, the Burras looked to have compiled a batting depth to match any in the association, however Seville captain Dean Troyhan (4/34) and his opening partner Matt Tilney, put a dampener on those plans early, restricting the home side to 3/42 at the drinks interval and a long way from victory. However, with wickets in hand, and this depth allowing the experience of Mick Walker to round out the innings, anything is possible. And that it turned to be as Walker’s unbeaten 56 guided his side to an impressive victory. These two sides, along with Woori Yallock who had a first round bye, will be key players in the finals race in what shapes up as an intriguing season ahead.

Opinion TODAY, Wednesday (1 October), I was discussing a view put forward by five young Iranian women I met in China. The conversation I had with them lasted about 10 minutes over a cup of green tea at The Great Wall. I will not disclose the nature of the amicable conversation in print, suffice to say that my nar-

ration of the conversation was largely accurate. I then expressed a personal view and a gentleman listening interrupted saying “interesting, but I don’t agree with you”. I asked why and I’d have liked to hear his views. He assumed, I think, that I was racist, religiousist, etc. He replied saying that he didn’t to get into an argument with me. I wonder, then, why he interjected. I’d have liked to have heard his views as I believe I am a scholar, still learning, and still researching many years after I obtained my B.A. in Middle Eastern and Indian politics. I know very little still and hearing from the mouths of citizens from Iran was extremely interesting. I have never met an Iranian Shia person before. I do not get heated in discussions nor do I have a tribal bone in my body. I accept all people and all creeds, even though some of my friends are also adversaries in belief. I have a mixed Indigenous blood granddaughter and I continually hear of tales, good and bad about the behaviour of Indigenous people in the Northern Territory and WA. I don’t get offended; I merely point out that yes, I’ll listen and if there are traces of racism or plain bias and hatred in the discussions, I politely exit. I have never hit anyone nor have I been physically attacked for expressing anecdotes. I hope the gentleman concerned reads this and realises that if one expresses a view and another disagrees, he or they should be polite enough not to say “I don’t want to start an argument” if he or she is not even remotely aware of my position. Today, I listened for an hour to a stranger and his views of heaven and hell were completely alien to me. We still parted the best of friends, and one of my best friends in Healesville, although politically in agreement with me, totally disagrees with me on religious matters. My belief then is that strangers should not judge another without intelligent conversation with them first. Graham Answerth, Healesville.

Applicable education IT WAS good to read the opinions of our local

candidates in the state election, but I was wondering why Cindy McLeish thought the question about universities and Tafe was not applicable (Meet The Candidates, Mail 30 September). I was under the impression that education, job training and future employment was one of the major issues for people in this region. With no Tafe at Lilydale any more it seems there is nowhere to go without a couple of hours travelling. Is it not applicable because she thinks that, with no Tafe in the electorate, it is of no interest? Surely it is the job of government to provide access to job training and higher education for the young and surely the first step is to consider it an important question, one worthy of an answer. Peter Brennan, Gladysdale.

Important visitors I RECENTLY attended the launch of a new Koori Independent Prison Visitors (IPV) DVD at Healesville’s Worawa College, aimed at encouraging more members of the Koori community to become involved in this important program. The DVD was produced with the assistance of volunteer elders and will be a valuable asset in recruiting more Koori volunteers to attend prisons, talk to prisoners, staff and visitors. The DVD provides culturally specific information on the role of Koori IPVs and how they can help improve the lot of aboriginal inmates. An increase in Koori volunteers who can observe, monitor, refer and report directly to the Corrections Minister is a positive move. Given the disproportionate number of aboriginals incarcerated within the Victorian prison system, it is critical that Koori volunteer IPVs are encouraged to work with the Department of Justice to improve justice outcomes for the Victorian Koori population. I am proud to be part of the proactive Napthine government. We are determined to do everything we can to build a better Victoria for everyone. Cindy McLeish MP, State Liberal Member of Parliament.

Candidate questions I WOULD like to give a ‘thumbs up’ to the Mail for their recent article Meet The Candidates - Ei-

ldon (Mail, 30 September). Thank you for publishing information about the candidates and some of their key points of view on various issues. Community members may also be keen to know that Healesville Uniting Church is hosting a candidate forum at the Darron Honey Centre at 7.30pm on Wednesday 22 October. Interested people in our community can come along, meet the candidates in person and ask even more specific questions. The election on 29 November is fast approaching and these further channels of communication help to inform our decision making and voting. Heather Hysted, Healesville.

Face up to sexism A SURVEY of Australians released last week (1 October) by Plan International Australia shows that, unfortunately, we still have a long way to go to address sexism in Australia. That three in four young Australian women and girls have been subjected to sexist comments and 28 per cent said they often heard a politician, sportsperson or public figure make a sexist remark is deeply concerning. When men feel it is OK to behave disrespectfully, and sexist attitudes against women are common, we create a culture of support for violence against women. One in two young women said sexism has affected their career path and one third said it would be easier to get their dream job if they were male. Sadly, none of this is surprising. VicHealth’s National Community Attitudes Survey on Violence Against Women, released recently, showed that more than a quarter of Australians believe that men make better political leaders and more than one in 10 said that when jobs are scarce, men have more right to a job than women. Sexist and violent behaviour is learned and it can be unlearned. If we want to change attitudes and create a culture where young women and girls thrive academically and professionally, we need to reject an Australia where sexist behaviour is ignored or trivialised. Jerril Rechter, CEO VicHealth.

Motoring The French flair is all there By EWAN KENNEDY in Sochaux, France THERE’S arguably no more important award in the automotive world than that of the European Car of the Year. The reigning champion is the allnew Peugeot 308. Making this announcement at the Geneva Motor Show in March this year, the Euro COTY Jury members said they were particularly impressed by the engineering of the midsize French car. Its styling also received several mentions. Australian Peugeot enthusiasts have been aware of the new 308’s award for six months but have been denied the opportunity to see it in the metal because the factory was struggling to keep up with demand. Several versions of the new 308 will be launched down-under in late October, with others coming in March 2015. The Peugeot importer invited a small group of Aussie journalists to France to visit the Sochaux factory where the car is being built. We also had an opportunity to talk to the 308’s stylists and engineers. We test drove a variety of new Peugeot 308s on a grand tour covering more than 1500 kilometres on a scenic route that took us south to St Tropez, up through scenic mountains, into

All-new Peugeot 308 has the French flair both inside and out.

Switzerland and finally to the Peugeot factory in Sochaux. It’s a tough life! Styling is always the first thing that comes to mind when talking about any French car. While the Peugeot 308 has its share of French flair it doesn’t take as radical a route as do its chief competitor Renault, or Peugeot’s cousin Citroen. This is a deliberate move as Peugeots are aimed at a slightly more conservative buyer. The front of the 308 follows a similar theme to its smaller brother Peugeot 208.

The main grille is neat and tidy and flows well out to the headlights and back to the sculpted bonnet. The large lower grille ties nicely into foglights that are framed by the daytime running lights (DRLs). New 308’s profile is lower than that of the outgoing model. The previous one, code named T7, used a semi-tall design to maximise interior room, however not everyone liked that theme. The new T9 308 is sleeker, yet clever design means it has retained the same cabin space.

Prominent swage lines flow from just being the front wheels to the taillights. These lights follow the present Peugeot practice of flowing forward at their upper and lower edges. Peugeot 308’s rear is particularly neat and definitely benefits from the lower roofline. New Peugeot 308 is offered as a five-door hatch and five-door Touring wagon. The wagon’s rump follows a similar shape to the hatches, it works nicely and its extended load area would make it our choice should we be buying a 308. The interior is brilliant in its flair. The main instrument housing and the centre stack follow the same semi-oval appearance and are neatly framed with a metallic look.

Exhaustive design work means the new Peugeot 308 is lighter than the outgoing model by as much as 140 kilograms, not only making it more dynamic on the road but, just as importantly, it uses less fuel and creates less pollution. New engines have been developed to further reduce emissions. Peugeot hasn’t done as well as it should in Australia in recent years, but the all-new 308 really should get things moving again. The big players in Peugeot 308’s market segment in Australia are the Japanese Toyota Corolla and Mazda3, and the European Volkswagen Golf. Anyone considering these should most certainly add the Peugeot 308 to their short-list - and may well come away with a smile on their face and a stylish French car in their garage.
