Celebrating Healesville’s 150th Birthday Healesville’s Nicholson Street in 2014.

Gold in them thar hills

117824

Inset: Nicholson Street in the 1860s. 117824

By historian

ROBERT POCKETT

All change for town shaped what makes Healesville today. We also have to give a large round of applause to the Healesville and District Historical Society who have helped us immensely, providing us with photos and both spoken and published histories of the town. Looking back, it’s amazing to see the difference. Bitumen roads were non-existent, the main street was the domain of horses and

bullocks and most of the buildings were made from locally sourced timber, police patrols were on horseback. What a difference when looking at the town today. We hope you enjoy reading about the past as much as we did researching it, and find even more reason to celebrate Healesville’s 150th birthday Melissa Meehan, Editor.

Big welcome from small town By Yarra Ranges Mayor

FIONA McALLISTER OUR wonderful town is about to turn 150 and the streets are alive with plans for the parade, the heritage festival, living books, and so many more exciting moments to come. How lucky are we to live in such a vibrant, beautiful friendly place! We can still see so many reminders of Healesville’s early days – the Mission Church, the Mechanics Institute, the Nook Fountain -– and there are many things about life in Healesville that remain unchanged. We are still visited by many people (now millions instead of thousands) who escape to our hills and our town for its natural beauty and to stay in our B&Bs.

“

The people who live here make our town and we are a wonderful mix…

They aren’t coming to see the Cascades anymore but rather to spend time at the Healesville Sanctuary, the many Yarra Valley wineries, to walk in our beautiful forests and enjoy our many cafes, restaurants and local artists. Many things have also changed in our little town – we aren’t so little anymore and Healesville district is now home to over 8000 people. Our local economy started with the timber industry but over the decades the tourism industry has become our economic mainstay. The people who live here make our town and we are a wonderful mix – fifth generation

families to newcomers. I love the fact when you walk down the street you can always bump into someone you know for a friendly chat (more easily on weekdays!) When the chips are down we help each other out; and so many are constantly making a contribution to the welfare of our community. This makes me very proud to call Healesville home. This birthday will show once again how our diversity makes us a strong, supportive community that is full of life. I can’t wait to see the hundreds in the parade and join everyone in singing a big happy 150th birthday to Healesville.

HEALESVILLE … what a town. Named after a Richard Heales who was Premier of Victoria for just 354 days. Looking back on those times, Mr Heales was a man before his time, and especially concerned with land settlement and education. It’s been a wonderful few weeks working through and learning about the past; looking back on old photos and learning about the many events in the town’s history that have

THERE is much truth in the old adage which says in effect that ‘the pictures tell the story’, but sometimes explanatory notes may be needed to assist with clarification of the many photos in this celebratory supplement. Some 150 years is a long time in the history of any town, but had it not been for the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s, the early beginnings of Healesville may well have been a different story. Before Healesville was named in 1964 in honour of prominent parliamentarian and Premier (1860-’61) of Victoria, Richard Heales, the district was known as “The Watts” or “Glen Watts” described in early writings as a scenic valley containing luxuriant growth of ferns and shrubs flanked by heavily forested mountains. With the discovery of gold in the mountains at Marysville and Woods Point the scene changed in dramatic fashion with hundreds of people coming into the area, mostly along the old Yarra Track. The small settlement of New Chum situated at the junction of New Chum Creek and the Watts River was established in response to the need for provisions and general supplies to the travellers. Horse-drawn wagons could go no further than New Chum, the rest of the journey over the ranges being by pack horse or on foot. Later, a trafficable road was built but the journey remained perilous and arduous. The progress of Healesville has been marked by several important events such as the survey of the township in 1864 and the land sales in 1865, the formation of the first shire council in 1887 and the coming of the railway in 1889. With the gradual decline of the gold rush, attention turned to the natural scenic resources which were attractive to many visitors who were able to come in large numbers by train. In the early 1900s the timber industry became well-established and formed a large part of the local economy, and guesthouses began to appear, catering for larger crowds of holiday makers. All these events however were not without setbacks such as periodic floods, severe bushfires, two world wars and economic depressions. It is a credit to the resilience and ability of Healesville people both past and present to survive such circumstances and still be able to celebrate 150 years of progress.

Healesville Pony Club loves a parade, at the Gateway Festival in 2000.

Diversity marks parade

“

We said all along that we wanted every man and his dog in the parade and it’s going to be huge … People are excited, everyone is very positive about it…

Healesville’s Indigenous community will lead the parade and almost every aspect of Healesville’s many-faceted community will follow. Some of the more than 50 representative groups include Healesville Sanctuary, schools, emergency services, the RSL,

sporting and cultural clubs, there will be vintage vehicles and pre-vintage horse-drawn vehicles, there will be bands and history on show and lots and lots of community groups just ‘parading’. A surprise in the sky will start the parade, and there may also be a bit of a surprise for the

pooper scoopers bringing up the tail end! Kath Holton, Chair of 3777 Community Group which is hosting the parade said people could expect a memorable parade. “We said all along that we wanted every man and his dog in

the parade and it is going to be huge. People are excited, everyone is very positive about it ... even our local police are excited about it,” she said. “The street will be colourful and festive, pulled together by the bunting strung between our beautiful street lamps. I think it will be remembered for generations to come.” The Healesville 150th Grand Parade will start at Church Street and make its way to Queens Park where the celebrations will continue.

EVERYONE loves a parade. Healesville has a great tradition of parades to celebrate important events, or just to celebrate community. It’s been far too long since the main road was closed and Healesville paraded its diverse community and culture. With Healesville’s 150th anniversary, it’s time to strike up the band. Parade co-ordinator Yolande Pickett said the response once the call went out had been huge and the enthusiasm fantastic.

Celebrating Healesville’s 150th Birthday

Festival is here By JESSE GRAHAM A LANDMARK festival set to draw thousands is now just a week away, with a swag of historic attractions taking the stage at the Healesville Railway Station. The Healesville Heritage Festival will take place shortly after the Healesville 150th Parade, opening its gates at 9am on Saturday 8 and 10am on Sunday 9 November. The festival will aim to bring out the heritage of the town to mark the 150th year, with historic displays and films, working steam engines and even vintage trucks visiting the site. People will be dressed in period costume at the festival to add to the atmosphere, and train rides will be run along the railway line, which is currently being redeveloped. A log hut will be constructed in a special ‘play pen’ on the site, and performances from bands such as Melbourne’s IRIS, and champion whip cracker, Stewart Bryant will take place. Altogether, over 100 exhibits will be on display through the weekend at the festival alone. Yarra Valley Railway vicepresident, Brett Whelan said that visitors – as well as attractions – were coming from near and far for the event. “We’ve got exhibits coming from not only around the state,

but from other places in Australia,” he said. “There’ll be excitement, noise and activity, and there’ll be something there for the whole family.” Healesville’s own Brett Robin will be front-and-centre for the event, competing in a worldclass woodchop against the current world champion, who is based in Tasmania. A free shuttle bus will also be run between the Heritage

Festival and the Historic Commercial Vehicle Show at the Yarra Glen Racecourse. Entry to the Healesville Heritage Festival is $10 for adults, $5 for children aged three to 16, with free entry for children under three. The festival runs from 9am-5pm on Saturday 8 November and from 10am-5pm on Sunday 9 November. For more information, visit www.healesville-heritage-festival. com.

Historic woodchopping champion and Healesville resident, Ron Young, will be honoured with a memorial woodchop event on the Sunday.

Celebrating Healesville’s 150th Birthday Healesville Railway Station will feature in two 150th projects – the pathway and the commemorative plaques.

Bricks and memories

“

What we want to do is to create a safe walking path from the station to the town…

Robyn said the idea came from her observation that there was no signage or proper path connecting the town to the station. “What we want to do is to create a safe walking path from the station to the town,” she said.

“The bigger idea is, if you’re strolling up from the station, wouldn’t it be great if you could look down and see the families that lived in town in 2014 – a snapshot?” As Robyn eagerly ancitipated

the arrival of the pavers last week, and said she was looking forward to the festival and seeing the pathway become a reality. “I never thought I would be excited about a footpath,” she said. Raffle tickets to support the project are on sale at a number of local shops for $5 with a number of prizes from local businesses. The raffle will be drawn at the Heritage Festival.

1161456-EG44-14

FOLLOW this path to town ... or to the railway station and park. Robyn Johnston was inspired to create a 150th birthday project by the need for a pathway linking the Healesville Railway precinct to the town. Robyn has spearheaded the Healesville Railway Walk project which will be a unique and enduring commemoration of Healesville’s 150th birthday. Inlaid with pavers purchased by

individuals and businesses and inscribed with family names and local business logos, it will reflect a moment in Healesville’s history into the future. Healesville Chamber of Commerce and Yarra Ranges Council got behind the project which will open on Friday, 7 November ... just in time to take the volumes of foot traffic expected to roam between the township and the Heritage Festival over the weekend.

Celebrating Healesville’s 150th Birthday

Park becomes party central By KATH GANNAWAY QUEENS Park will turn into a fun park after the Grand Parade. Where the fun of the parade finishes, Party in the Park (or PITP for short) continues as an opportunity for all ages to celebrate Healesville’s 150th birthday as a community. PITP is a low-cost event for young children, youth and families with live music, lots of food great food from the traditional sausage sizzle and snow-cones to Devonshire teas and the SES’s famous doughnuts. There will be lots of free activities for all age groups including face painting, jumping castles, sumo suits and old-fashioned games such as three-legged races and the sack race. The sound-shell will be a focal point for music from groups including the Rocky Road Choir and Exploded View and other music magic, and there will be some great stalls to browse and buy. Joel Hawting from Liberty Family Church is pulling the event together with supporting organisations Community 3777, Healesville

Primary School, RACV Club, The Salvation Army and Yarra Ranges Youth Services. Joel said everyone involved in presenting PITP was looking forward to a great day. “We see this event as a way for the community of Healesville to come together and celebrate Healesville and all we love about it in the beautiful Queens Park,” he said. “It’s about fostering that community spirit and inclusion of all to celebrate Healesville’s 150th birthday and all it means to us.” Party in the Park runs until 3pm. If anyone would like to help out on the day, Joel said they would more than welcome any volunteers. Phone Joel on 0468 775 163.

Greetings from Healesville By KATH GANNAWAY REMEMBER the sound of the postie’s whistle and the race to the letterbox to be the first to get the mail? Imagine the excitement when the words “Greetings from Healesville” leapt out from a postcard, very often signed off with ... “Wish you were here”! It could have been a sepia image of early tourists making their way by horse and cart to one of the ‘beauty spots’ around the area, a lush fern gully, one of the many guesthouses, Healesville Sanctuary, the Healesville RACV Country Club, or a ’50s view of Nicholson Street.

Postcards that act as a timeline of the history of Healesville are part of a project which saw more than 300 historic photographs handed over to the Healesville and District Historical Society in June this year as part of the 150th celebrations. The collection is a valuable, enduring gift from historian Andrew Mackenzie OAM which was sponsored by Healesville Community Bank (Bendigo). Historical society president Kevin Mason said “Greetings from Healesville” would add significantly to their already large photographic collection.

Did you know...

Photographs from the collection have been displayed at the community bank where manager Wilma Gibson said they were getting a wonderful response from customers and others who ventured in especially to view them. The display is changed fortnightly and will remain on show until the end of November. The Greetings from Healesville collection will feature in the Historical Society’s displays and activities as part of the 150th celebrations ... and in the years to come.

That Badger Creek’s First Methodist Church was built in a day? On 8 November, 1913, a large group of Healesville and Badger Creek residents constructed the entire church building before the end of the day. Sadly, the church only stood for 13 years and was burnt down in the 1926 bushfires.

Yarra Ranges Council is proud to support & celebrate Healesville’s 150th Anniversary. Congratulations to everyone involved in organising these events for our community.

Celebrating Healesville’s 150th Birthday

City of industry By JESSE GRAHAM FROM its beginnings, through to the current day, Healesville has had industry at its heart. Established as a stopping point on the route to the Woods Point Goldfields, Healesville was originally surveyed in 1864, with the first land sales taking place the following year. Almost immediately, the town grew to house those gold miners, boasting six hotels among 30 businesses along Nicholson Street in 1866. The demands of the growing town for materials drove the timber industry forward and provided constant work for paling splitters working in the mountains around the town. Shortly after the railway to the town was completed in 1889, timber tramlines began connecting sawmills to the station, using horses to pull steel-wheeled bogies. However, the industry took a severe hit as a result of the 1939 bushfires, which destroyed the mountain ash forests in the areas around Healesville. Following the fires, sawmills had to be relocated to the town for safety, and several were

ash had to be processed before it deteriorated – many of the sawmills closed as supplies became scarce. The railway station in town also helped the construction industry to thrive, with an overhead

aerial ropeway established to carry materials from the station to the site of the current-day Maroondah Dam in 1927. Some 84 large steel bins were used to transport concrete from trains to assist with the construction of the dam wall, though the ropeway was disassembled when the dam was completed in 1927 and used to construct the Silvan Dam. Agriculture employed many people in Healesville’s early days, with hops and tobacco grown, orchards established - including a lemon orchard in Pine Avenue, Badger Creek – and even the Potato Research

Station in Toolangi. The research station was focused on more than just spuds, though, and did extensive research into strawberries. Meanwhile, the town quickly established a strong employment force through government organisations such as the Melbourne Metropolitan Board of Works (MMBW), the Postmaster General (PMG), then Telecom, the Country Roads

Board and, of course, the Shire of Healesville. The Healesville Sanctuary, McKenzie’s Tourist Services, the SEC, RACV and innumerable other Healesville icons also provided work to residents throughout the years. Businesses easily flourished with some – such as French’s Laundry and Dry Cleaning – standing the test of time, and others still in their early years. 1160426-AM44-14

Celebrating Healesville’s 150th Birthday

Town provides Sanctuary By JESSE GRAHAM SAY the word “Healesville” to people outside the town, and many will add “Sanctuary”. That’s because the town is invariably linked to its appeal to tourists. Tourism has been a cornerstone of the town since its very beginning and remains so to this day, with hundreds of thousands of people visiting the town annually. From the town’s beginning, numerous guesthouses were established, providing accommodation to visitors who came into the town by horse, by rail and, later, by car. The number of grand guesthouses complemented the range of hotels that ran along Nicholson Street – and some buildings of both kinds are still surviving today. Blackwood House, established around 1888, still exists on St Leonard’s Road as a private residence, while Edgcumbe’s Hotel, built on the site of the older Royal Mail Hotel in 1888, also still exists today as The Grand Hotel. The town has had many drawcards for tourists over the years, but one of particular note has been the

Healesville today thrives on tourism traffic. Far right: Blackwood House, a guesthouse from the 1880s, still exists today. Below right: The opening of the Healesville Sanctuary – then the Sir Colin Mackenzie Sanctuary – in 1934.

“

Despite setbacks, the town is now considered by many to be an iconic tourism destination across Victoria and worldwide…

Healesville Sanctuary, which opened on 30 May 1934. First beginning in 1921, when Dr Colin Mackenzie was granted 70 acres of land for lease to study native fauna, the Sanctuary opened 13 years later and has since become synonymous with the town. This year, Sanctuary director Glen Holland told the Mail that around 400,000 people were

expected to visit the icon alone. Some of those hundreds of thousands of visitors will no doubt be taking in more of what Healesville has to offer – from cafes to Queens Park, to the wineries and forested areas that surround the town. The Yarra Valley Railway also draws regular crowds, with trolley and train rides available as the railway line

between Healesville and Yarra Glen is redeveloped. In its heyday, the train used to bring thousands of people to the town, with one special occasion in 1901 drawing over 10,000 people into the town – 5000 of which came by rail. Drivers of all kinds often flock to town to drive through the scenic Black Spur – formerly named Blacks’ Spur – which connects Healesville

to Narbethong and Marysville. The tourism industry has often ebbed and flowed, however, with tourist numbers dropping off dramatically after incidents

such as the 1939 bushfires and the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009. Despite setbacks, the town is now considered by many to be an iconic tourism destination across Victoria and worldwide, with many international visitors exploring the town on weekends and holidays. With greyhound and horse racing, cafes of all kinds, regular theatre shows at the redeveloped Memorial Hall and varied cuisine offered all along the main street, tourism has helped the once-small town to thrive.

Celebrating Healesville’s 150th Birthday

Hills are alive with sport By KATH GANNAWAY WE’VE had everything from school sport champions to a Brownlow Medalist, and shared a love of sport in everything from athletics and football to croquet and horse racing. Healesville has strong sporting traditions. Sally Symonds in her book Healesville In The Hills lists hunting and horse racing, a rifle club, swimming, tennis, horse riding, motoring, football and golf, croquet and fishing, cricket, bowling, athletics and ... quail shooting as sports with a bit of a history to them. Over the decades, you could add in netball and soccer, basketball, skateboarding and squash, gymnastics and aerobics, and baton twirling – big in the ’80s. Ms Symonds wrote that despite long working hours the citizens of Healesville embraced both sport and culture and many of the clubs and societies had their beginnings in pre-turn of the century Healesville. Both the town and Coranderrk had cricket and football teams and when the Athletic Club organised sports they included boomerang and spear throwing for the Aboriginal population. Healesville has produced champions at both the local and elite level in various sports. Overwhelmingly though, it has been at a club level with the emphasis on having fun, competing with other clubs around the region that generations of Healesvillians remember the achievements and friendships they made through sport. Many of our young ‘Bloods’ have headed off down the line to live the dream of playing VFL and now AFL. Gordon Collis reached the pinnacle when in 1964, playing for Carlton, he was awarded the Brownlow Medal.

Overwhelmingly though, it has been at a club level with the emphasis on having fun, competing with other clubs around the region that generations of Healesvillians remember the achievements and friendships they made through sport…

Juby Wandin also played VFL but is best remembered as a local legend of the game as a player

and a coach. More recently, David Wirrapunda who started his career at VicKick in Healesville, has

shone as a West Coast Eagles champion. In 2013 Healesville Soccer Club

invited people to ‘come and try’ the world game. The line-up was a snap-shot of the evolving multi-cultural makeup of Healesville with players representing countries including England, Ghana, Italy, Germany, Holland, Greece and Australia – new chums and Indigenous.

When Healesville’s railway line was opened, the town had a public holiday to celebrate? The railway to Healesville was opened on 1 March 1889, and a public holiday was declared. The construction of the railway line was delayed at the tunnel, according to the Healesville and District Historical Society, which states in its book, Images of Time, that the tunnel collapsed twice during excavation. The contract for the construction of the current Healesville Railway Station was issued on 8 December 1902.

Celebrating Healesville’s 150th Birthday Healesville and its surrounds were devastated by the 1939 bushfires. This photo was taken between Healesville and Narbethong.

Healesville has a history of bushfires, and was surrounded when the Black Saturday fires burned.

Areas around Healesville - such as Long Gully Road – have been devastated by fires throughout the town’s history.

Fires cast a giant shadow What was there before no longer existed; the only things left standing were power poles, some still alight. Firefighters from all over the district came together to fight the blaze for weeks after Black Saturday, many residents saying they wouldn’t be alive without those volunteers from the CFA.

BUSHFIRES have been an unwelcome part of Healesville and the surrounding district for as long as anyone can remember. In recent times, Black Saturday cast a large shadow of smoke and ash over the town as Marysville, Steels Creek and Chum Creek burned.

Driving through Healesville on the days after, the air was tense. Many looked alarmed, worried and sleep deprived. The blackened treelines along the Black Spur and the mountains of Steels Creek gave the first insight into the devastation left behind by the raging wall of fire. Narbethong was ravaged by fire.

Celebrating Healesville’s 150th Birthday 1

Bunjil, the eagle creator spirit By KATH GANNAWAY HEALESVILLE’S Aboriginal culture and heritage will be celebrated as an integral part of the 150th celebrations. Bunjil the eagle creator spirit will lead the parade. Through creation stories, Bunjil taught all to live in harmony. It’s a beautiful, empowering and joyful message for Healesville to take into the next 50 or 100 years as an increasingly multi-cultural community. Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association (HICSA) is co-ordinating Indigenous participation in the celebrations. Banners recognise the traditional owners of the land, the Wurundjeri people, along with the tribes of the district’s Aboriginal residents. An afternoon of activities including a smoking ceremony, dancing, an art exhibition and exhibition on Coranderrk as well as basket coiling and ochre painting is planned for The Meeting

Residents and the manager’s residence at Coranderrk.

Place in Badger Creek Road. HICSA in writing a brief history of Aboriginal history in this region says Healesville holds great significance for Victorian Aboriginal people, and Coranderrk a strong connection to ancestors. Coranderrk Aboriginal Station

was established as a last refuge for dislocated Indigenous people who had been driven from their traditional lands in the 30 years following white settlement. Descendants of the Aboriginal people who came to Coranderrk have been, and continue to be part

of Healesville along with others from diverse tribes throughout Australia. Wurundjeri woman, Brooke Collins who is program co-ordinator at HICSA says they are encouraging everyone in Healesville who is Indigenous to walk with the Wurundjeri people and HICSA in the parade. Brooke and HICSA Executive Officer Anne Jenkins are encouraging people from all cultures, lands, beliefs and ages to join the activities at The Meeting Place later in the day. “For me to have Bunjil front and centre of the parade is just to remind people that this whole area has such a rich, beautiful history, beyond the notion of ‘good old 1864, that’s when Healesville began’,” she said. “It’s an opportunity for everyone to gather together and walk as one to show the strength, diversity and resilience of the Healesville Indigenous community.”

Celebrating Healesville’s 150th Birthday

A yearning for learning By KATH GANNAWAY EDUCATION was important to the first families of Healesville and district. Over the decades it has been a unifying thread with schools among the earliest of institutions to be established and the fight for better education facilities continuing today. Healesville’s first public school was the Common School No. 849 which was opened in 1866. It was built of split palings with no internal lining, a sparse learning environment when compared to the modern schools in the district now – especially the new $15 million high school. The very first school, however, was at Coranderrk Aboriginal Station. The school building, with attached dormitories for orphans and other children whose parents were not resident, was completed in December 1863. It was in 1878 that the new Healesville State School was built at the top of View Street. Chum Creek State School No. 3279 opened in 1922, but before that school was held in the small Methodist Church near Arthurs Road, opening in 1918. Originally, in 1897 school was held in a leased two-roomed building where one room was used for the school. At Badger Creek, State School No. 3309 opened on January 1, 1899, replacing the school at Coranderrk. The original building was moved from Gruyere North. St Brigid’s Convent School started in a small wooden cottage in 1901 and shortly after moved into the two-storey brick building which remains in service today. Healesville College, a college for boys, was started in 1902 in the Presbyterian Manse and in later years moved to Symons Street. By 1908 the College was co-ed. Healesville had to agitate and agitate hard to get secondary education. In 1952 Forms One and Two were taught in converted army huts at Healesville State School and these were later moved to Recreation Road as the central classes. It wasn’t until February, 1962 that students moved into the new High School in Camerons Road. Fifty years on, Healesville’s secondary students have another ‘new’ school, designed for learning in the new millennium. Education has not been restricted to schools. Since 1979, Healesville Living and Learning

Healesville Primary School students took part in Healesville High School’s production of the Wizard of Oz in 2013 at the new auditorium.

2011: Chloee from Mount Evelyn Development School got a big welcome from friend Eden and cousin Brooke on the first day of a Satellite Unit project at Healesville Primary School aimed at educating special needs students in their own community. Centre has given thousands of students, including high school students and people returning to education and work, the opportunity to qualify through various courses.

For almost two decades, Healesville had a campus of Swinburne TAFE, and until this year TAFE and university courses were available at Lilydale providing opportunities for accessible tertiary education.

The debate about the provision of tertiary education for this region continues to be a contentious debate with Box Hill TAFE’s recent announcement that it will set up courses in a former car yard in Lilydale.

Pub set to rise By KATH GANNAWAY

Firefighters look through the devastation to the views which have been a trademark of the hotel for over a century. 129671 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY Former AFL footballer and Woori Yallock resident, Damian Monkhorst added his tribute to the pub, and to the owners, Doug and Melissa Fraser. “It’s very sad. It’s had a huge impact on local sporting clubs including football and cricket in its history and it’s owned by people who have been involved in the football and cricket clubs. “Unfortunately poor old Dougy had

In a post to the community on their Facebook page, Doug and Melissa Fraser and their staff thanked the community for their messages of support. “We will be rebuilding and we are sure with all of the community support we will be up and running again in no time,” they said.

THE Woori Yallock Hotel burnt to the ground in the early hours of Saturday morning. As the smoke clears there are already indications that the owners, Doug and Melissa Fraser, are not going to let the town linger long without a local pub. Devastated residents and employees were on the scene early on Saturday morning to find the hotel, an institution for more than 100 years, reduced to mangled tin, bricks and ash. Hillcrest CFA captain Fiona Burns told the Mail the first call came in at 3.16am, phoned in by a passer-by. She said the fire was fully involved when the first units arrived. Some 20 appliances were called in, including the specialist ladder unit from Dandenong and the Yellingbo CFA rehabilitation unit. Between 60 and 80 firefighters battled to bring the blaze under control and to stop it damaging the old service station building next door, one of just a few original buildings now left in the town. Ms Burns said on Saturday that CFA volunteers expected they would be on the job for the better part of today and tomorrow. “At this time we’re providing the owner and his family with support,” she said. Rick Shaw, president of Woori Yallock Township Action Group, said the hotel was a great loss to the town. “You can’t have a town without a pub,” he said, reflecting the sentiment of many of the people who shared their commiserations on the Woori Yallock Hotel Facebook page. “There’s been a pub on that site, as far as I am aware, for well over 100 years,” he said. The hotel is known for the stunning views over the Yarra River valley to the mountains and was on what was originally the main highway. “There are not many places around Woori where you can go and sit down with locals and friends, it’s just been the pub ... an institution,” he said.

Election climate of hot air issue, though they were divided on their approach in tackling it. Ms Sellstrom reaffirmed her partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to establishing a Great Forest National Park (GFNP) in the central highlands area if elected, which she said would help through storage of carbon. Ms Brennan said that the GFNP offered a â&#x20AC;&#x153;huge opportunityâ&#x20AC;?, but did not indicate support on either side of the issue and said more discussions should take place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing is for sure - weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get it right, or weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to lose way too much that we cannot replace, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to do it soon,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ms McLeish told the audience of her own personal track-record on environmentally-friendly household practices, and officially ruled out sup-

porting the GFNP campaign. Mr Argyle called for better leadership in the country on climate change, which he called a serious issue for the electorate, and one that needed more work. Though the candidates were divided on some of the raised issues, they showed bipartisan support for alleviating issues such as homelessness, child sexual abuse and domestic violence and the use of crystal methamphetamine (ice) in the area. Ms McLeish faced heavy criticism from attendees on the night, with many questions directed specifically to the MP about her governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last four years in power. Moderator, Reverend Jennie Gordon, stepped in repeatedly to remind audience members not to jeer, interject,

or use hurtful words in their questions. Save Healesville Hospital Action Group (SHHAG) member, Bev Schmolling, asked Ms McLeish what she had done to further the cause of an independent business case study into the Healesville Hospital - which the group accused the government of stonewalling. Ms McLeish replied that she had been on the phone weekly to the Health Ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, and that she believed a terms-of-use contract was being signed off for important data in the study last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has not been held up,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ms Brennan and Mr Argyle, both of whom have spoken on the subject, were not allowed to reply, as the question was directed to Ms McLeish.

Loss of heart and soul as pub burns THE loss of an institution has hit the Woori Yallock community hard. The Woori Yallock Hotel which burnt down on Saturday morning was more than 100 years old and a popular watering hole for locals, and a popular drawcard for visitors to the town. The overwhelming wish among people the Mail spoke with is that the hotel will be rebuilt.

By JESSE GRAHAM RESIDENTS at Healesville’s Holmwood Private Aged Care Facility had a special day at the show day last week, with furry and feathered friends coming along to visit. Staff at the facility organised a Melbourne Show-inspired day for the residents on Wednesday 22 October, with showbags, games and activities of all kinds to enjoy - including a toy duck shoot with a Nerf gun. Activities co-ordinator, Ben O’Brien, said staff members brought their pets for a special kind of petting zoo - dogs, chickens, guinea pigs and even a lamb came to visit the residents for a cuddle or two. Vivienne, pictured, was pleased to have the company of Lucy the dog at the event.

The haven of hope By JESSE GRAHAM CHEERS erupted through Seville’s Have a Chat Cafe last Thursday when Judith McGrath’s brown locks were lopped off. The 70-year-old marked her birthday on 23 October with a special fund-raising event, where her head was shaved to raise money for women with cancer. The community responded strongly to Ms McGrath’s cause with friends, family and well-wishers filling the small cafe and offering a surge of donations, estimated to be totalling over $4000. All the money raised from the event will go towards running Powelltown’s Heather’s Haven - a respite home available for women living with cancer to relax in with their families - which is run by the Yarra Valley Ladies in Pink (YVLiP). Ms McGrath, a cancer survivor herself, said she was undecided about her new haircut, but was overwhelmed by the support she received. “It’s a strange sensation - I didn’t lose my hair when I had cancer treatments,” she said. “But it’s great when you see all these people supporting such a wonderful thing. “I couldn’t believe so many people turned up.” The head-shave was inspired as a fund-raising activity for Heather’s Haven, which was donated by the husband of a woman in the group in her memory and receives no outside funding. Ms McGrath said she had no set fund-raising goal for the event, and that the shave had been organised around six weeks back.

“I just decided on the spur of the moment to cut my hair to raise funds,” she said. “I was just hoping to raise money for Heather’s Haven and it’s gone viral. “It’s absolutely marvellous they’re local people giving money

health in the coming year. In a move of solidarity, Ms McGrath’s friend, Irene Hogton, had her hair dyed bright pink for the event, and even shaved off a lock or two. Fellow Ladies in Pink member Judy Sturt congratulated Ms McGrath on her courage to take the shave, and said the funding would go a long way into helping women living with the disease. “This has really helped us,” Ms Sturt said. “There is a lot of fund-raising for trying to cure cancer, but they sometimes forget about the people who are living with it.” In total, 49 people had stayed at Heather’s Haven in the eight years it has been run. Yarra Ranges Council deputy mayor and Billanook Ward Councillor Maria McCarthy attended the shave and praised Ms McGrath’s efforts. “She’s done so well to bring awareness to the community and to bring everyone together,” Cr McCarthy said. As the hair was cleaned up and the event came to a close, the crowd sang happy birthday to Ms McGrath as two large cakes - marked 70 were presented to her. The Yarra Valley Ladies in Pink is made up of members from around the Yarra Ranges, and members range in age from 36 to 86. Donations can still be made either in tins in shops around the Yarra Ranges or through the Wandin Seville Bendigo Community Bank.

Region shows its sparkle is back By CAITLIN McARTHUR MARYSVILLE’S annual sparkling wine show was back in town this past week with more wine and a slightly different focus. The Australian Sparkling Wine Show has been credited with helping to revive the town from the devastation of the 2009 bushfires, encouraging tourism and interest in the region. Trudi Ackerman of the show’s marketing committee said the event was the only one of its kind nationally. “There are other wine events nationally but The Australian Sparkling Wine Show is the only one dedicated to sparkling wine specifically,” Ms Ackerman said. This is the show’s fifth year running and Ms Ackerman said it was local businesses which were the reason for its success. “Marysville has some fantastic wines which are produced locally, the small wineries really drove this event from the start,” Ms Ackerman said. This year she said the show had turned its focus towards the wine industry, rather than just the general public. “The festival used to be held on Cup Day, following last year it's turned more towards a purely wine industry event”, Ms Ackerman said. In line with the shift the show was rebranded from the Marysville Sparkling Wine festival to the Australian Sparkling Wine Show. Despite the change in tack Ms Ackerman said the event remained a community one. The show ran from 21 to 28 October with events tailored to both the general community and those involved in the wine industry. The wine show judging took place on 21 October, at the new clubrooms of the Marysville Golf and Bowls club. The number of wines entered into the competition increase every year, with a variety of local product. Top level barrister Major General Greg Melick was the chief judge this year while International Champagne Writer of the Year 2011 Tyson Stelzer hosted the master class.

A patient lot

Wave of education

WHAT a patient lot we motorists on the Warburton Highway have had to be over the last couple of years with all the roadworks, which means lots of 40ks plus stoppages. Then to top it off, VicRoads must have used up all their 50 and 60 signs on our highway to get rid of them. First we had Warburton to Millgrove changed from 80 (which it has been for 50 years) to 60, then an extension of the 50 west of Yarra Junction, and worst of all 60 west of Seville which means we don’t need that overtaking lane anymore. Are we the worst drivers in the state to have had this inflicted on us? B. Stormer, Warburton.

THE Grattan Institute paper (The Age, 18/10) suggests that Victoria can expect 350,000 new primary age school children between 2011 and 2031. How can any Government close an important TAFE college at Lilydale when there is going to be a tidal wave of new school kids wanting higher education in the next 20 years? Talk about the Liberals shooting themselves in the foot. Bruce Johnson, Monbulk.

MY QUESTIONS to all candidates are where do you stand on financial responsibility to taxpayers in regard to the Yarra Valley Tourist Railway? Taxpayers will have contributed $6 million while ratepayers have also contributed $250,000 yet after 30 years of promises what have we got to look forward to? A train that goes to Yarra Glen then reverses backwards to Healesville. We already have a Puffing Billy with an established business of 55 years and 40 minutes from Healesville and it still requires millions of dollars each year from taxpayers to stay afloat. Do we want to duplicate this at Healesville? The most efficient use of the rail easement between Lilydale-Healesville is a rail trail for walkers, cyclists and horse riders, connecting with the very successful Lilydale-Warburton rail train which can be built and maintained by taxpayers at a fraction of the cost of another Puffing Billy. Another major issue in the Eildon electorate is the Black Spur road which for safety reasons goes far beyond putting this in the too-hard basket. I look forward to all candidates' views on the above two issues which to me will clarify their priorities and economic responsibility. Ray Donkin, Healesville.

Greens fear vandals WITH a state election coming up, local Greens candidate Marie Sellstrom has been looking for places to display public signs urging people to vote Greens. These signs need to be in highly visible places, preferably along main roads, and by law on private property. At the “meet the candidates” event at the Healesville Uniting Church on 22 October, she said something that I find horrifying: a number of people have been sympathetic, but were too afraid to agree, because of possible vandalism of their property, and even violence against themselves. Some businesses have declined in fear of losing customers. Is this a fair go? The Australian way? If you look up the Greens’ policies at http:// greens.org.au/vic/policies you will find that they are built around decency, compassion for the less fortunate among us, and a change in lifestyle so we stop stealing from our children. Both the Coalition and Labor have poor records of running this state. With preferential voting, you can choose the one you least disapprove of, and still give your number one vote to the Greens. This will indicate your support for a survivable future, and one worth surviving in. Dr Bob Rich, Healesville,

Chinese miners’ past re-visited By GEORGIA WESTGARTH THE Healesville Memorial Hall opens its doors to some of Victoria’s forgotten gold rush history with Benno Poeder presenting a multi-layered exploration into the Chinese miners that once roamed the Upper Yarra Valley. Incorporating elements of photography, drawing, imagery and archival material from the Victorian Gold Rush, Benno Poeder has created a series of digital images and charcoal

drawings which explore the relationship between the immigrant gold miner and the landscape of the Yarra Valley in the mid-19th century. Mr Poeder draws on his own family’s migrant experiences and the few remaining historical accounts of Chinese miners. The digital collage and charcoal drawings work together to create a visual narrative about dreams, isolation and remembrance of the foreign landscape the newcomers encountered.

“The series grew out of a walk to the top of Mt Little Joe in the Upper Yarra Valley,” Mr Poeder said. Mr Poeder’s stepson had taken him for a walk and told him how the mountain was riddled with old mine shafts. “He told me that at least one of them had been dug by Chinese miners during the gold rush of the 1850s,” Mr Poeder said. “Later I read that a Chinese miner had been buried in an

unmarked grave in the original Warburton cemetery,” Mr Poeder said. The man’s remains were taken back to his homeland one year after the burial by his family. “It is perhaps telling that the mountain with its abandoned shafts was never home,” Mr Poeder said. Entry to the exhibition is free and closes on Tuesday 11 November. Contact 5966 4500.

The Man in Black is back BY POPULAR demand ... the Man in Black is back at Powelltown in November. Bill Rowley and his band are set for another rock ‘n’ roll dance night at the Powelltown Hall entertaining with great music and songs of greats such as Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, the Everly Brothers and more. The Country Rock Concert at the Old Powelltown Hall was a huge success last year for the Powelltown Union Church committee. The funds raised have helped with the restoration of the historic church and with more work to be done, this event will not only raise the roof, but help save the roof.

Committee member Dawn Adams said the roof was the next big project, followed by finishing refurbishing the interior. There will be hot roast beef rolls and drinks available at the fishing club hall as well as a sausage sizzle and tea, coffee and cold drinks at the main hall. Admission to the concert is $20 with children under 15 $5. The dance will start at 7.30pm and run through to 11.30pm on Saturday 22 November 2014. Phone Dawn or Michael Adams on 5966 7431 for further information and table bookings.

Doesn’t suck, but lacks bite THE latest in a fairly pathetic selection of horror movies for the Halloween season, Dracula Untold is functional at best. Dracula Untold depicts Count Dracula and Romanian prince Vlad Tepes (Bram Stoker’s historical inspiration for the character) as the same person, and follows Vlad as he becomes a vampire to defend his people from the invading Turks. Dracula Untold just feels so insubstantial. The battle scenes are exciting, but would have been much better with smoother movements and less-cluttered camerawork. Despite the enemy’s seemingly limitless forces, the film’s events feel small and quaint. Vlad’s journey from mortal to vampire is also far too

Dracula Untold Rated M for horror themes and violence Starring: Luke Evans, Dominic Cooper, Charles Dance

predictable, and his unstoppable battle prowess (and the inconsistent rules of his powers) drain the film of suspense. Dracula Untold is also strangely bloodless for a war movie about vampires. The film is salvaged by the Gothic aesthetic, a riveting supporting role from Charles Dance as the master vampire and star Luke Evans’ commanding, charismatic persona. But Vlad’s likeable character is hard to take seriously. The real Vlad Tepes earned his nickname of “Vlad The Impaler” for his unspeakable sadism and the thousands of victims he tortured and killed during his reign, so portraying Vlad as a compassionate, selfless family man is completely ridiculous. Superficially entertaining but historically daft and with little to offer, Dracula Untold doesn’t suck, it simply lacks bite. - SETH HYNES

Two rings to rule

An Elstrek eye opener By JOHN WOOD SUNNY, warm weather made for excellent shooting conditions at the Bernie Elstrek Memorial Shoot at the Woods Point Gun Club. The eye opener was shared by Luke Poile, Trevor Ewert and Daniel Chinn, all 30/30. The first event was the 25 target Double Barrel Bernie Elstrek Championship, sponsored by Peter and Ellen West. The final result was a well-deserved win for Alan Guppy, 39/39, after a shoot-off with Chinn, Peter West, Nick Kirley, Steve Bedggood and Phillip Desmond. Kirley won AA Grade, 27/27 to Desmond’s 26/27, Guppy the A Grade winner 35/35 from West 34/35. The B Grade winner was John Wood 24/25, Assistant Secretary Laurie Poile 2nd, 23/25. Bedggood took C Grade 30/31 from Chinn 29/31. The main event was the 30 target Bernie Elstrek Memorial Continental Handicap sponsored by Beryl, Paula, Ross and Peta Elstrek. The targets were hard and wild but Ian Sinclair showed the most grit to take the trophy outright, 28/30.

Second place was Nick Kirley 32/35 with Peter Lang, 31/35, and Ross Elstrek 30/34 taking third and fourth respectively. The Front Marker Trophy was taken by Michael Bevis with a well-shot 26/30. The day finished with a 20 Pair Deauville Doubles Bernie Elstrek Championship sponsored by Glen and Shawnti Coolahan. Father and son team, Robert and Michael Bevis, were the team to beat as they were previous winners and today was no exception, with an excellent 24/25 pairs they won the championship sashes after a shoot off with Phillip Desmond and Trevor Ewert whose 23/25 was enough to give them second place. Luke Poile and Daniel Chinn took third, 18/20 ahead of Ian Findlay and Daryl Ewert 17/20, fourth. The Overall High Gun sash sponsored by the Elstrek Family was won by Findlay, 69/75 while new Junior shooter, Byron Foley won the Junior Encouragement prize. The next shoot at Woods Point is the President’s Championships on Sunday 23 November at 10.30am.

Sport

No clear edge for anyone YVCA SO far this season, games in the D.J. Strachan Shield have been an even competition between bat and ball as early indications are for an extremely close season with all teams tasting the sweetness of victory and the bitterness of defeat across just three rounds. Round three produced three intriguing games of two-day cricket that went down to the wire. With Yarra Junction posting 173 on day one on the slow expanses of the home, Healesville needed to produce their best batting effort to net their first win. Scott Hamer provided the rock on which the Bloods could build, and his well compiled 76 put his side in prime position for victory. As is so often the case however, when a batsmen dominates the scoring as Hamer did, it only takes that wicket to fall for things to unravel. With Healesville teetering with six wickets down and over 60 runs from their target, the experienced pairing of Dylan Moore (30 not out) and Bryan Horner (30 not out) came together and expertly guided the Bloods to victory with four wickets in hand. Captain Quinton Hodgkinson (2/43) led the Eagles attack that lacked the killer instinct with the ball when they had victory within their grasp. Yarra Junction now needs to bounce back against the consistent Hoddles Creek, while Healesville will be keen to add to its first victory of the season, as it returns home to face Woori Yallock. Chasing Warburton-Millgrove’s 216, Hoddles Creek made a fair fist of the challenge on the road. Like Hamer for Healesville, the Wombats were well led by their champ, Brenton Derix. Derix held things together for most of the innings as he put together several useful partnerships across the innings, but unfortunately for the visitors, he couldn’t find a partner to go the distance. As with Hamer, Derix’s wicket, two agonising runs short of a well deserved ton, put a massive dint in the Wombats' chase, and the persistent Burras' attack ground out their victory with 21 runs in the back. The ever-reliable Daniel Lever (4/53) again proved to be the staple with his off-spin bowling. Hoddles Creek now travels to Yarra Junction in a crucial match between two sides with just one win to their name, while Warburton-Millgrove has the luxury of two weeks off to tune its game, preparing for a crucial run towards the Christmas break. In the final game of the round, Woori Yallock finished last week in control of the chase of Mt Evelyn's 204. In an old-fashioned stoush

between bat and ball, openers Daniel Mock and Ryan Smith held firm against some probing bowling from the Rovers and looked on the brink of breaking the bowling attack as they had navigated their side to 0/85 within sight of the tea interval. Finally the Rovers got their man, or men in this case as Smith’s wicket for 36, was quickly followed by the wicket of Mock (48) and the game was evenly poised at tea with the Tigers on 2/100. Michael Dwyer and Cal Ferguson looked to have straightened the ship after the break, but the Rovers weren’t to be denied and they eventually wore the Tigers down capturing the last five wickets for 13 runs and racing away to a relatively comfortable 65-run victory. Captain Kane Jones (4/37) led a disciplined attack that persisted through 70 overs to secure victory. Mt Evelyn now hosts Seville in a tasty battle between two sides looking to lock in a position in the top four, while Woori Yallock travels to Healesville and will be keen to atone for the loss. D.J.

Croquet club kicks off 120th season LILYDALE Croquet Club celebrated the start of their 120th season in the Yarra Valley this month. The club is the second oldest in Victoria and the only one to have played continuously at the same site since its foundation. Some 27 people attended the event, 13 of whom were members of other clubs of the Eastern Metro Croquet Association. Secretary of the club, Patrick Hartley said the representatives from all six of the clubs in the EMCA turned out in support. “We were very well supported,” Mr Hartley said. The club kicked off the season with the help of MPs Christine Fyffe and Tony Smith. Deputy Mayor of the Shire of Yarra Ranges Maria McCarthy and the president of the Victorian Croquet Association, Mike Cohn were also in attendance. Club president Renate Hartley welcomed everyone to the event before inviting the local dignitaries to ‘run the first hoop’ to mark the official opening of the season.

“Running the first hoop, hitting the ball through the first hoop, is a traditional way of declaring the season open,” Mr Hartley said. “The club has provided exercise, recreation, friendship and fun for 120 years and we hope to continue to do so well into the future,” Ms Hartley said. Formed in 1984, at its largest the croquet club had a membership of around 30 people. Today it numbers just 13. “We’re a small club, one court and a small clubhouse,” Ms Hartley said. Despite its size the club has a strong history within the community. As a part of the celebration members put together some copies of the historical documents covering its founding and history. “The collage emphasised the occasion, it really was quite interesting to see the history of the club, Lilydale and the surrounds,” Mr Hartley said. The day also involved a quick raising of the flag ceremony, a game of croquet and lunch at the Harvest Cafe.
