Cubby house for Christmas?

cook healthy meals to help reduce obesity levels and improve their health and well-being. It’s so amazing seeing people like this giving back to the community, and I’m currently supporting their efforts by collecting cooking utensils and sending them up to Ian and Judy to assist their cause. If you have any cooking utensils, including pots and pans, that you no longer need, feel free to leave them at the Upwey Community Link, or give me a call on 0419 526 105. Ian and Judy can certainly use them up north. Back in our own local community of Yarra Ranges, it’s the efforts of community groups

and agencies including the Salvation Army, Holy Fools, Dandenong Ranges Community Relief Service, and a host of other organisations that embody the true meaning of Christmas. Christmas can be a challenging time for many people in our community. The work these organisations do to support people in need is invaluable, and they rely heavily on the generosity of donations from the community. I hope you might have the means to donate to these organisations this Christmas. From my family to yours, and on behalf of Yarra Ranges Council, I wish you all a very merry Christmas, and a safe and happy new year.

A NEW cubby house for Christmas sounds too good to be true - for kids, at least - but the Badger Creek and District Men’s Shed are raffling off the perfect playhouse in the lead-up to the big day. The Men’s Shed, in conjunction with the Lions Club of Healesville, are raffling off a large cubby house that its members constructed, with $2 tickets being sold through the shed and the Lion’s Den Op Shop. Member, Alan Jones, said the shed had 2500 tickets to sell ahead of the draw on 23 December, outside the op shop. “We’d very much like to sell

them all,” he said. The money will go to the Men’s Shed, for maintenance, equipment and other projects being run. President John Layton said the shed would even be delivered to the winner after their name was drawn - “if you don’t live in New South (Wales).” “We’ll deliver a reasonable distance,” he said. The cubby house features a functioning door and window, and plenty of space inside for toys, or even a small table and chairs. “It shows what the Men’s Shed can do, and if anyone comes to join there, they can

be involved in lots of wonderful things,“ Lions’ Elaine Dossor said. The raffle prize will be drawn at 4.30pm on Friday, 23 December outside the Lions’ Den, where the winners of the Deck the Healesville Christmas Lights Competition will also be drawn. For more information, visit the op shop at 183 Maroondah Highway, Healesville, or call 5962 1251. To express interest in joining the shed, visit the Badger Creek Men’s Shed at 358 Badger Creek Road, near the back of the Badger Creek Hall, on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 9.30am-4pm.

ONE thing we tend to all have in common at this time of year is that feeling that the year has flown by quicker than the last. And what a year it has been! There’s no better time than Christmas to wind down, relax and enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. On a personal level, the festive season is a time for me to reflect on the year that was, and to spare a thought for the people in our community less fortunate, who may not have the company of family and friends, or who struggle to put food on the table or gifts under the tree. Christmas is certainly a time for giving - but not necessarily in the commercial sense that we’ve become accustomed to. Gifts don’t need to take the form of boxes wrapped in shiny paper and ribbon. A visit to an old friend or relative, or lending a hand to someone in need, can be just as deserving of the title ‘gift’. Friends of mine working in the Northern Territory - Ian and Judy Grieves - are great examples of the true meaning of giving. They manage a place called the Ali Curung Arlpwe Art and Culture Centre, fixing up an old building to use as a men’s shed for the local indigenous men in an effort to reduce levels of domestic violence. They are also teaching people in that community how to

Switched on for the festive season By Jesse Graham RESIDENTS and shop-owners alike are being called on to deck out their houses and shopfronts with lights and Christmas decorations, with the Deck the Heales-ville competition coming around again. The competition, which last year invited businesses along the main street in town to illuminate their shopfronts with lights and decorations, is being run again this year and expanded to include private residences. Run by the Healesville Rotary and Lions clubs, the competition will have a first prize of $1000, two secondplace $500 prizes and five third-place $100 prizes. Lions club president Lindsay Frost said that including private residences’ Christmas lights was part of the feedback after last year’s competition. “A lot of people with private residences were interested in coming in as well,” he said. “Some people put in a really big effort.” Mr Frost said 2015’s competition saw 23 entrants, which he hoped would increase to 50 this year, and emphasised that, when it came to judging, bigger was not always better. “The reality of the way we’re going to be looking at it, from a judging group is we’re not looking for the most arty or the one with the most money spent on it - the two things we’re looking for is love and effort,” he said. “Last year ... some of the quirkier ones got a good hearing - what Clarence did was quite quirky and that’s what got them over the line at the end of it.

Rotary Club of Healesville’s David Lau, with Lions Club of Healesville president Lindsay Frost and Lesley Grigg. 162364 “I think one of the key things was, between four of the top five, there was only five points in it. It was literally that close.” He encouraged businesses and residents to sign up for the competition and to brighten the town, which he said was appreciated by tourists who came through last December.

“The feedback was hugely positive, both from the shopkeepers themselves, who saw it as a great opportunity to showcase the town, and also the number of people who visited and thought it was fantastic to see that people had put the effort in, right the way through the town,” Mr Frost said. Decorations must include light-

SO, what will be ringing through Aussie homes this Christmas? It’s a while since anyone saw a partridge in an Australian pear tree, or for that matter reindeers pulling a sleigh through snow, and a whole new batch of Christmas songs have evolved in recent years to put a distinctly Australian flavour on the summery festive season. According to Australian Times. co.uk, the top 10 favourites with expat Australians at this time of year are a mix of traditional favourites with an Aussie twist, and songs written especially to reflect what Australians experience at this special time of year. Here’s the list: 1. White Wine in the Sun (Tim Minchin) 2. Aussie Jingle Bells (Bucko & Champs) 3. Christmas Photo (John Williamson) 4. How to Make Gravy (Paul Kelly) 5. The 12 Days of an Australian Christmas (from yesteryear) 6. Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas (The Wiggles) 7. Six White Boomers (Russel Coight) 8. Carol of the Birds - Orana (John Williamson and choir) 9. The Aussie Christmas Song (Robin Bate) 10. The Three Drovers (Sydney Philharmonia Motet Choir)

Call goes out for toys By Jesse Graham YARRA Valley residents are being called on to lend a hand and help to brighten up a family’s Christmas, with a Healesville charity trying to gather $6000 worth of toys. Healesville Interchurch Community Care (HICCI) is gathering donations of new toys ahead of Christmas, after its annual donation of $6000 worth of toys from a notfor-profit organisation fell through. The donated toys are used for HICCI’s annual Christmas shop, where families who are experiencing financial difficulties can come and choose toys for Christmas. HICCI executive officer Alison Gommers said that without the regular toy donation, it would be harder to get toys together for those families. “When the people come in, they choose what their child might like,” she said. “For some, that is their gifts.” “Some families were also looking for their grandchildren, but we’re going to be so reduced this year that’s just not going to happen - it’s not going to be what it was in the past.” Ms Gommers urged anyone going Christmas shopping to spare a few dollars and buy a new toy - such as arts and crafts items, Lego, books and board games - to donate to the appeal.

“Just anything, because we’re stuck,” she said. “These are difficult times for everyone, anyway, finding extra money. “It’d make the difference to a child’s Christmas.” She said HICCI had 4600 occurrences in the 2015-’16 financial year where they helped individuals and families, with food hampers making up 1839 of those incidents. HICCI clients will also receive a Christmas hamper with donated cakes from the Lions Club of Healesville, ham and plum pudding - Ms Gommers said the hampers would be handed out as normal. She said YX Ball Financial Pty Ltd had already come on board and made a “very generous” donation to help make up the lack of toys. Donated toys should not be wrapped, and HICCI also accepts monetary donations, which staff will use to purchase toys. Donations over $2 are tax deductable. Donations can be dropped off at HICCI, next to the Memo Hall, the Healesville Community Link on River Street, the Healesville Community Bank branch or Healesville Primary School until 9 December. For more information, call 5965 3529.

Healesville Community Link’s Karen Roberts, HICCI’s Alison Gommers and Sheree Laumen, and Healesville Picture: ROB CAREW Community Bank’s Cheryl McGeorge are calling for toy donations for Christmas. 161999

It’s still all about the giving By Kath Gannaway THE spirit of giving will be a feature of Carols by Candlelight again this year at Seville Water Play Park with families and individuals asked to take along a new toy for those in need in Yarra Ranges. The carols, on Sunday, 11 December, are a joint presentation of the Anglican Parish of Seville, Wandin and Mt Evelyn with Wandin Baptist and Wandin Uniting Church. “So often people talk about the real meaning of the season and there are many ideas of what that means to people,” said Reverend Trevor Filewood of St Paul’s Anglican Church, which is hosting the carols. “I know people like to feel caring and to extend that in an open and generous way and it’s lovely to see,” he said. The gifts will go to LinC (Love in the name of Christ) in Yarra Junction and Anglicare in Lilydale to distribute as part of their welfare networks. “It worked very well last year; we were very pleased with the response and both LinC and Anglicare were very pleased to have the use of the gifts that people brought along,” Rev Fleetwood said. He said the gift appeal is part of a wider platform of support for the welfare groups working in the area with the Wandin opportunity shop also big supporters of LinC and Anglicare.

Rev Fleetwood said that while need in some communities was not always as obvious as it is in others, there were families who would struggle this Christmas. “Through the schools we know more and more families are doing it tough,” he said. “Sometimes it’s through family breakdown, also people’s employment is not always as stable as it used to be and hearing of people who lose their jobs does seem to be on the increase.” He said however, along with the increase in need there was an increase in schemes throughout the year to respond, not just locally, but for those overseas. Where assistance is provided, the effects are both immediate and long-term. “Behind the real message in what God did in sending a saviour in that most extreme act of generosity, is to be able to show that in the way we treat each other. “It’s a good way to see Christmas,” Rev Filewood said. The water park will provide a delightful, summer setting for the evening which is a chance for the local communities to get together and celebrate in the lead-up to Christmas. Food will be available from 6pm and carols will start at 6.30pm with local community and school groups included in the program. Phone 5964 3828 for further information.

Opportunity knocks! Answer it By Kath Gannaway TINSEL and Santa suits, snow domes, baubles, festive earings, serving plates with holly and Christmas trees, bonbons and angels ... opportunity shops are a treasure trove of Christmas goodies. Opportunity shop volunteers across Yarra Ranges have been having fun for the past week or so discovering all over again what’s in their Christmas stash. The shops get a lot of Christmas decorations donated in the new year and they are carefully stored, just waiting for the right time to put them on the shelves. It may be a seasonal market, but it’s one that can deliver some real surprises when the boxes marked ‘Don’t open ‘til Christmas’ are brought out of storage.

Along with the tinsel and baubles, there are some really gorgeous Christmas novelties that make their way from one Christmas tree or table, via an opportunity shop, to bring joy and colour to another home. Someone’s decision to change from a traditional red and green theme to a more upmarket gold or silver, or vice versa, or simply to update their Christmas tableware, means that come January or February opportunity shops are starting to re-build their Christmas stock. It’s seasonal recycling at its most colourful and exciting! So, if you’re in the market for some Christmas decos or something with a festive vibe for the table, take time to

have a browse through your local op shop before heading down to the rush and crush of the big shopping centres. Many of the shops also have a great selection of toys and gifts, quite a few them brand-new, that are a wonderful

way to spend your Christmas dollar and put some money back into community projects. Throughout the year local opportunity shops run by volunteers from church and other community and inter-

est groups donate countless thousands of dollars back into community and welfare projects, so your purchase will be part of a bigger picture of giving all year round. That’s the spirit!

Santa descends on hills by train By Jesse Graham YARRA GLEN will be embracing the Christmas spirit with Santa’s train coming to town courtesy of the Yarra Glen and District Men’s Shed. Men from the Men’s Shed have been working over the last two months to create and refurbish decorations, depicting Santa riding a train emblazoned with “Merry Christmas”. Member, Stanley Hardidge, said that 12 trains would be erected around town, with shop windows taking the decorations and a much larger train to be installed at the town square in Bell Street. He said the smaller trains were refurbished from last year’s decorations, with the men at the shed working to install them by Saturday, 26 November. “There’s going to be a train on the wavy wall ... in Bell Street, which will be on show from both sides,” Mr Hardidge said. “Because Santa’s coming from the North Pole ... the trains are coming north-to-south.” Mr Hardidge said the focus on trains highlighted the work of the Yarra Valley Railway volunteers, who have been working to restore the train line between Yarra Glen and Healesville. “It’ll probably come into vogue more often now, especially with the train, when it starts running - it’s going to be a big tourist attraction,” he said. “I think, if we focus on the train business, it’s going to capture the imaginations of most of the residents up here - kids will love it.” The Men’s Shed has about 54 members, and is open every day from 9am-4pm. A morning tea chat is held each Wednesday morning, with the shed hosting a speaker on the last Wednesday of each month. For more information, visit the shed at 16 Anzac Avenue, Yarra Glen, next to the Gary Cooper Pavilion, visit yarraglen.com/mensshed or email ygdms.secretary@gmail.com.

Santa Clause is waiting patiently for his Christmas letters. 162212

Santa wants your letters IT’S time to write to Santa! Santa receives thousands of letters from children all over Australia with requests for all sorts of things, including toys, pets and even world peace. Australia Post works with Santa, and his elves, at Christmas to make sure you receive a reply to your letter (you must live in Australia though). How do I write my letter? There are three ways you can write your letter to Santa: You can use the ‘Let’s write a letter to Santa!’ online interactive, found in the multimedia fun section of the Australia Post website. This is a fun way to write

your letter. There are instructions and a sample letter to help you. Or, write your letter on one of the decorative letter writing templates on the website, which can be printed out. Use your favourite pencil or pen and notepaper and just start writing. If you need some ideas for your letter, you can click on the sample letter. You can also tell your teacher about Santa Mail and maybe your whole class could write letters together. How do I address the envelope? Follow these simple steps to

address the envelope: Write Santa’s address clearly on the front of your envelope so your letter can be delivered to the right place. Santa’s special address is: Santa North Pole 9999 Place a 65c stamp on the front of your envelope. Turn the envelope over and write your name and address on the back of the envelope, so Santa knows where to send a reply. Post the letter in a street posting box or at an Australia Post retail outlet. For more details, visit www. auspost.com.au.

Night market the go By Kath Gannaway

The night market is a great local initiative. 162405

WARBURTON Valley Homemade Night Market has established itself as a must-do for unique and beautiful Christmas gifts; but it’s so much more! Now in its fifth year the event, on Friday, 2 December this year, has become a popular Christmas celebration encompassing a community picnic with entertainment, food, information stalls ... even a bestdressed pooch competition. The Yarra Valley’s most creative and talented artisans pull out all stops to stock the Waterwheel complex with an amazing range of unique, quality gifts for the night market including toys and jewellery to clothing, books by local

WARBURTON PRIMARY SCHOOL

authors and illustrators, cards, home decor ... and much, much more. The emphasis is on quality and design and the inspiration is to shop locally. Donna Fowler from Warburton Wellbeing will be running the Pooch Parade, Zaar Bellydancers will be performing, and there will be a Nia session and music on the green. The deck will be decked out with stalls of handcraft; food fund-raisers from Koha Community Cafe and Warburton Primary School, coffee from Silva Coffee and a number of information stalls from U3A, Plastic Bag Free Warburton, Warburton Pre-school Emergency Planning Group and the Rural Action for Refugees War-

burton Group. There will also be an opportunity to gauge support for a food market. The night market will be open from 5pm to 9pm at the Waterwheel with the Pooch Parade at 6pm, drumming at 6.30pm, Nia at 7pm, Zaar at 7.30pm and Trev’s Trio from 7.45pm to 9pm. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet local artists and makers of Warburton Handmade in the shop, the gallery and on the deck, and find the special things you don’t get in the big chain stores down the line. If you can’t make it on market night, pop in to the Waterwheel any day in the lead-up to Christmas.

His four years in council, and recent year in the mayor’s role, was acknowledged by new mayor Noel Cliff in his speech to councillors on 8 November. “It’s something you wouldn’t wish on anyone, and he was doing a hell of a good job,” Cr Cliff said, adding that he

“I will keep in touch with council, because I’ve made some good friends there, and also, when I’m more active, I guess I’ll be out in the community a bit more.” Come 2020, Mr Callanan said he would step back into the ring and run for the Chandler Ward, which was won by new councillor Tony Stevenson in this year’s election. “I will be running for council in four years. I will.”

and the council wished Mr Callanan a speedy recovery. From here, Mr Callanan has six months of rehabilitation ahead before getting back into his work with Ambulance Victoria. “My recovery is the most important thing,” he said. “Family is something that I want to ... spend more time with, and so they’re the two most important things for me at the moment.

rehab at the Angliss to work on that, and I also do a cardio rehab as well just to help me with exercise,” he said. “From family, through to work, especially with the ambulance, as well as council, they’ve all been very, very supportive, and bent over backwards to accommodate anything that I’ve asked for.” Though Mr Callanan had planned to recontest his seat of Chandler for this year’s council elections, his sudden stay in hospital meant he was not

IT WAS a symptom that many people would overlook or brush off that caught former mayor Jason Callanan’s attention at the end of August and prompted him to action. Mr Callanan, who is a paramedic, said that he felt chest pain while in his office at the Yarra Ranges Council offices in Lilydale on Tuesday, 30 August, and quickly called an ambulance for himself. “The chest pain was very different to what I’d felt previously and was quite severe, so I thought I should get it checked out,” he said. “I was at the office and I pretty much stepped out, without letting anybody know. “It just happened very suddenly.” Paramedics in the ambulance could not find anything abnormal on the heart monitor, and took him to Box Hill Hospital, meeting up with a MICA (Mobile Intensive Care Ambulance) unit along the way. After arriving, he was told he had an aortic dissection - where a tear in the aorta results in blood flowing between the layers of the aortic wall, forcing them apart. Aortic dissections can cause severe chest or back pain, which was the symptom Mr Callanan noticed, and can lead to death due to lack of blood flow to the heart or a ruptured aorta. Mr Callanan was then transferred to the Austin Hospital, where he underwent 11 hours of surgery and spent four weeks recovering in intensive care, before being transferred to the Angliss Hospital for rehabilitation. “I needed to learn to walk again,” Mr Callanan said. “I lost over 20 kilograms ... I ended up having to learn how to do a lot of things that we all take for granted.” Speaking to the Mail on Thursday 24 November, Mr Callanan said he had been discharged a week early and was recovering at home with his family and medication for his heart. “I’m on a walker, but I’m going to

Gender equality: need of the hour By Kath Gannaway

Representatives of local organisations are working together to ‘Change The Story’ on family violence in the Healesville community. 162481 Picture: KATH GANNAWAY

Aladdin Jones, right, talks with community members at the breakfast. 162481

“VIOLENCE against women is prevalent and serious, but it is also preventable.” That strong and hopeful statement from Yarra Ranges Councillor Tony Stevenson, was one of many delivered on Friday, 25 November, at the launch of ‘Healesville Change the Story’. The group, whose aim was clearly stated as changing a long-established story on family violence in the Healesville community, chose to launch the new group on White Ribbon Day with a barbecue breakfast outside the Healesville Community Link. Backing his statement that violence against women is preventable, Cr Stevenson said research had shown that a lack of gender equality and respect is consistently reported as an underlying determinant of violence against women. Aladdin Jones, Health Promotion Officer at Yarra Valley Community Health spoke on behalf of the members of Healesville Change the Story.

by family violence. He said that over a third of family violence incidents involve alcohol and at least a third had children present. “To further compound the issue, young people who are at risk of disengaging with school regularly experience homelessness and ‘couch surf ’ in this town to escape violence, conflict or drug-use at home,” he said. He said Healesville Change the Story group would advocate for and support respectful and healthy family relationships in the Healesville community for all men, women and children. This would be done, Mr Jones said, through projects involving schools, the arts, media and conversations over food. “Just like this morning’s breakfast,” he added. Other organisations involved in Healesville Change the Story include Rotary, Lions, Anchor and Healesville Fitness. For more information, phone Mr Jones on 5969 9933 or email Aladdin. jones@easternhealth.org.au.

He said there was a well-recognised problem of family violence in the Healesville community. “It has been recognised by the Yarra Ranges Council, Eastern Health, Eastern Community Legal Centre, HICCI, Liberty Family Church and several other local service groups and churches,” he said referencing some of the local organisations who have come together to form Healesville Change the Story. He said Change the Story directs communities to target actions to prevent family violence through challenging the condoning of violence against women, promoting women’s independence and decision making, challenging gender stereotypes and roles and strengthening positive, equal and respectful relationships. Mr Jones said a network of 60 local providers of health and wellbeing services had long recognised family violence as an issue requiring further response and cited a past primary school chaplain as saying that at least half of the students who came to his attention for support were affected

The staff members then went for a walk around Lillydale Lake, which will have a large white ribbon present on one of its islands for the 16 Days of Activism.

STAND up and speak out against violence against women. That was the focus of a meeting on Friday 25 November, where almost 100 Yarra Ranges Council employees heard speeches from their CEO and a guest speaker about family violence. The event was organised by council under the banner of White Ribbon on the International Day of Elimination of Violence Against Women, to launch its 16 Days of Activism in the lead-up to International Human Rights day on 10 December. Council CEO Glenn Patterson spoke at the meeting, at Lillydale Lake, and said the two days “reinforce the concept of a life free of violence, a human right”. He said there were four cases of family violence every day in the Yarra Ranges, and that the topic of violence against women was often “clouded in myth”, with people not aware or misattributing the causes. “It is still maintained by some that women are as violent as men, and it is still commonly misunderstood to be caused by mental health, drugs and alcohol, cultural factors and economic pressures - these may contribute, but they are not the casual factors,” Mr Patterson said. “The common denominator is gen-

der; the uncomfortable truth is that this is overwhelmingly perpetrated by men, and women and children are overwhelmingly the victims,” he said. “International research shows that violence against women occurs to a greater or lesser extent, depending on a few key factors: rigid adherence to gender stereotypes, the status of women compared to men and our violencetolerant attitudes.” Mr Patterson quoted former-General David Morrison’s speech, where he stated “The standard you walk past is the standard you accept” and said there were “lots of good men” and hoped to eliminate violence against women. “We can stop violence against women and children, but it will take collective action from all of us here - it will take all of us calling out unacceptable behaviour and all of us considering our own words, our own jokes and the language that we use,” he said. Women’s Health East speaker Kalee Henry then spoke about her personal experience with family violence, and being turned away or ignored by the people closest to her. “The friends I confided in didn’t want to get involved,” she said. “When I finally shared what I found horrifying with one particular work colleague, she said her husband was doing the same thing.” “Hurt and let down is an under-

Prized Crumbz in 31 wins By Jesse Graham HEALESVILLE’S Crumbz Craft is celebrating not one win, but 31 wins, after every entry put forward by shop regulars won a prize in the Lilydale Show. The shop put forward 31 entries into the show’s craft sections, for knitting, crochet and sewing, with each entry winning a prize earlier in the month. Crumbz owner Kay Trembath said that entries were from people aged from eight to their mid-60s, and made up almost 10 per cent of the 400-odd entries to the craft section. “I’m just blown away,” she said. “Some of the people, it’s the first time they’ve entered - they’ll be ecstatic, they’ll be jumping out of their skins.” Ms Trembath said the entries came from members of a kids' knitting group and sewing club, as well as adult craft groups held in the store, and that it was the second year the shop had submitted a group of entries. “They’re what the kids want to make,” she said. “We don’t tell them what to make, and

they just decide if they want to finish it and enter it in the show. “We don’t put any pressure on anybody, but if they want to, we’ll co-ordinate it and do it as a group entry, which is what we did this year.” Standout awards were given out to Shara Lambeth, who won Best in Show for a knitted shawl. Molly Savage, meanwhile, was runnerup in the Best Exhibit in Junior Needlework and Country Women’s Association of Victoria Award, while Alison Boyd won Best Exhibit and Chloe Parker won the Country Women’s Association of Victoria Award. All up, the group won nine first places, seven second place awards, nine third place awards and seven highly commended awards. Ms Trembath said the adult knitting group met on Thursday nights, with kids sewing on Tuesdays after school and kids knitting on Fridays after school and Saturday mornings.

More than meets the eye By Jodie Symonds WORAWA Aboriginal College welcomes the public to the Sandra Bardas Art Gallery on campus. The art gallery showcases authentic Aboriginal art produced by students of Worawa and the communities they came from. Worawa executive director Lois Peeler said all pieces of art work were not intended just as art. “The art work has not been created to be art - it has been created to tell the stories of our elders,” Ms Peeler said. The gallery was named in honour of

Sandra Bardas OAM who worked with Hyllus Maris to establish Victoria’s first and only Aboriginal school. The walls are covered in art work some including paintings, fabric patterns, costumes and jewellery. Each piece of work reflects stories of community, family and land. Ms Peeler told the Mail she particularly liked one piece by Elizabeth Queenie Giblet, as it reminded her of her grandmother’s garden. “My grandmother had a bright garden, and I love the colours in this artwork,” Ms Peeler said.

A HEALESVILLE woman has been placed in a medically induced coma after the car she was a passenger in plunged into a dam over the weekend. At 10.20am on Saturday, 26 November, a man was driving a car on a dirt driveway on a Margaret Road property in Healesville, when the car veered off the road and into a dam.

The woman was flown to hospital in a critical condition, and remains in an induced coma. Major Collision Investigation Unit detectives attended the scene to investigate the crash.

Christine Fyffe MP Member for Evelyn

By Christine Fyffe AS THIS is my last Mail column for the year I would like to begin by wishing everyone in the Valley a Merry Christmas and send my best wishes for 2017. May it be an enjoyable and relaxing time for everyone. If you are planning to drive, please take breaks - as the safety message says, “better to be late than dead on time.“ Christmas is a time to reflect on why we celebrate the birth of Christ and is a great opportunity to catch up with family and friends. The exchanging of gifts can create financial pressure; it truly is the thought that counts. Homemade gifts and warm wishes given with love and friendship mean far more than expensive store wrapped ones. I believe crimes of violence and terrible deeds that we see are far outweighed by the countless acts of compassion from neighbour to neighbour. Christmas brings a personal message to each one of us; from it we can draw inspiration and courage to overcome our challenges. My announcement that I will be retiring in 2018 at the next state election was an emotional one and I am grate-

Yarra Valley Youth Theatre Group member Jena Schaak above is that girl.

ful to receive so many messages of thanks and support. Helping individuals, small business and the community was, and still is, rewarding for me. Just because it’s Christmas we cannot ignore the need to be prepared for the fire season. We have had a very wet spring with extreme weather. The combination of fallen trees and extensive grass growth has increased the risk of grass fires.

Stopping the plantings By Kath Gannaway GLADYSDALE home-owner Jodie Hobbs is one of a number of Upper Yarra residents calling on the State Government to stop the expansion of the Yellingbo Conservation Area (YCA) at Woori Yallock. Ms Hobbs told a meeting, including Department of Land, Waterways and Planning (DELWP) Regional Director, Kelly Crossthwaite, that planting proposed under the planned expansion would come within one metre of her home once an approved extension was completed. Ms Hobbs was among more than 100 people who attended the meeting called by the Yarra Waterways Group on Thursday night, 24 November, as part of an ongoing campaign to pare back the proposed expansion on the basis of increased bushfire risk and concerns weeds and feral animals will go uncontrolled on revegetated riverbanks. The meeting came just a day after Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D’Ambrosio announced a bushfire risk assessment would begin in December for the YCA. Ms D’Ambrosio said in the release that the assessment would be a community-led process that was putting people first as a “first step in implementing an extended Yellingbo Conservation Area”. Ms Crossthwaite had the unenviable task of delivering the minister’s messages that the assessment would consider all risk factors and develop specific bushfire management recommendations and strategies to ensure the risk was managed effectively. Ms Crossthwaite repeated the earlier announcement that the assessment would be led by the local community

with support from two independent fire experts, DELWP, Parks Victoria and Melbourne Water. Local brigades and Yarra Ranges Council will also be involved. YWG chair, Rick Houlihan, said the group had put together a community investigation report which would be used when a fire management plan was done for the area. “When we saw the width of a lot of the corridors and the impact they could have on fuel, it made us think more seriously that the fire issue was the big issue here,” he said. YWG member, Geoff Cochrane spelled out their policy, saying “We want the Upper Yarra, the town section from Woori Yallock upstream to Millgrove and the Little Yarra from launching Place upstream to Gilderoy taken out of the investigation area, which is about 16 per cent of the whole area,” he said. He said the group was not challenging the Yellingbo concept and were supportive of the work being done to provide habitat for the endangered Helmeted Honeyeater and the Leadbeater’s Possum. “The inclusion of the Upper Yarra area, is just not sensible,” he said. A number of speakers put their personal views as local residents on the impact they believe revegetating the Yarra River and tributaries will have on their properties, and on the broader communities where the revegetation is planned. Ms Crossthwaite said the Bushfire Risk Assessment would be an opportunity to do some good bushfire planning as a community and to come up with a plan for the district which would identify and plan for risks that already exist.

Jodi Hobbs looks out at blackberries,honeysuckle and willows that are out of control. 162325 Picture: ROB CAREW Asked whether the YCA expansion would be dropped if the assessment resolved that the bushfire risk was too great, Ms Crossthwaite said it was not a decision she could make. “It is loud and clear that you want this area taken out of the whole pro-

ject,” she said. “My job is to present to those who make decisions.” The YWG is set to meet with Minister D’Ambrosio at Woori Yallock on Tuesday, 29 November.

Ms Crossthwaite also announced the first community meeting on bushfire risk would address Don Valley, particularly in relation to the rehabilitation of Haining Farm, on Saturday, 10 December at Don Valley Primary School.

Letters Restrained response I ENJOYED reading Rick Houllhan’s response to my letter 'Just whingers’ ('Mail’, 8 November). Unlike a lot of rants that find their way into this column, it was restrained and clear: individuals choose their property for what they perceive to be its attributes (and what they can afford) and they do not necessarily like unanticipated change taking place (such as being overshadowed by a block of flats next door). However, change for better or worse is more or less inevitable. For example, how many of us ever dreamed that the stunning gateway to our tourist township would one day be marred by the proposed old sawmill site development. This brings me directly to the central problem with Rick’s argument and that of all the letters that I now presume have come from fired-up members of his 'Waterways Group’. These letters were mostly carrying on about fire danger but Rick now explains that: 'Most people who live in the Upper Yarra keep their properties fire safe ...’ So what is the whinging really about? This is perfectly clear to me now. It’s all about personal aesthetics. Rick actually confesses that: 'We all (meaning all 'Waterways Group’ members?) enjoy the landscape where we can actually see our rivers’. So, yes, I can understand that those lucky few who have enjoyed a glimpse of water from their barbies are not wanting to lose their preferred type of 'view’ for the sake of a much more diverse and richer natural environment that, overall, benefits everyone and everything, including for example eco-tourism. Let’s forget about fire risk now and stick to the nitty-gritty of the whinging that Rick has admirably clarified for us. John Whiteoak, Healesville.

Pages from the past Upper Yarra Mail 24 November 1994 Board Opts for Super Shire ASIDE from some minor boundary adjustments the Local Government Board has ignored the views of the residents of Upper Yarra, Healesville and Sherbrooke and confirmed its mega shire recommendations in its final report. The population of the new municipality will be approximately 137,900 and its rate revenue around $39.3 million based on current rating levels. It will occupy an area of approximately 2463 square kilometres. Obituary WALTER William Richard Justice -lovingly known as Wally - passed away on 2 October 1994 at the grand old age of 93 years. Born at Little Hampton on 15 August 1901, he was the fourth of 12 children. The Yarra Valley beckoned him in the 1920s, he moved to Daylesford in the 1930s, to farm, where he married Daisy Pope. In the late 1940s they returned to the Yarra Valley settling at Britannia Creek and working for the Upper Yarra Shire until retiring age. Captain Jack’s Takes Out Award CAPTAIN Jack’s Seafood Restaurant in Warburton has for the second year in a row received the Victorian Fish and Seafood Retailers Award for Excellence. Margaret and George Marshall have been running Captain Jack’s for two years. They have also created a familystyle restaurant where people can eat at no extra cost.

Healesville Guardian 28 November 1936 In Case You Didn’t Know A RECOMMENDATION for the establishment of a sanctuary for koalas on an area of 300 acres adjoining Sir Colin Mackenzie’s reserve at Badger Creek is contained in a report furnished to the Chief Secretary by Mr F. Lewis, Chief Inspector of Game and Fisheries. The Badger Creek Reserve comprises 70 acres and the 300 which Mr Lewis desires to have set aside form part of an area formerly reserved for Aborigines, and now leased by the Aborigines’ Protection Board for raising revenue to maintain the Aborigines’ station at Lake Tyers. The Chief Secretary Mr Bailey believes the land was at present let for grazing purposes but it might be possible to obtain a greater income by way of payments by visitors who desired to see the koalas living in natural surroundings. The government was keenly anxious to safeguard this exceedingly popular native animal from the danger of extinction and would do anything reasonable toward this end.

One-size puppy bill a poor fit By Jesse Graham A HEALESVILLE dog breeder has raised concerns with the Victorian Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new puppy farm law, which she says punishes small and ethical breeders doing the right thing. But Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford said the law was being amended, to make sure breeders doing the right thing had â&#x20AC;&#x153;nothing to fearâ&#x20AC;?. The Mail reported last month that the Domestic Animals Amendment (Puppy Farm and Pet Shops) Bill 2016 was to be introduced to the Victorian Parliament. The bill will mean breeders can only keep up to 10 fertile female dogs - reduced from 350 - with a deadline of April 2020 for breeders to reduce their numbers. Any breeder with fertile female dogs who sells their puppies, or who has three or more fertile female cats and sells their kittens, will have to register as a domestic animal business with their local council. Pet shops will only be able to sell puppies and kittens if they have come from a registered pound, shelter or foster carer under the legislation. Healesvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kirsty Tite is a breeder of Brittany dogs and owns three adult female breeding dogs and six puppies, which will be finding new homes and families across the world. She said that Brittany dogs were carefully bred and monitored to avoid genetic disposition towards hip dysplasia, and that her dogs were brought up with love, attention and training on her large property. When dogs are sent overseas or across the country, she said she worked to train them to get used to their carriers with toys and blankets to help comfort them.

force her to register as a business through the Yarra Ranges Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just leaves a really, really sour taste in my mouth,â&#x20AC;? she said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Out of all the breeders I know, a lot of them would never qualify, because of where they live - a few of them have actually contacted me ... and are saying,

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Kirsty, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the only chance there is for Brittanys - thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not very many that have got the land youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(But) I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t treat my girls as a business.â&#x20AC;? Eildon MP Cindy McLeish said the legislation was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a messâ&#x20AC;?, and would lump breeders in with puppy farms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It casts doubt ... over the legitimacy of what legitimate breeders like Kirsty are doing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost as though they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want anyone to be able to buy a dog from a breeder anymore - the only place you can get a dog is through the RSPCA, or lost dogsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; home or that sort of thing.â&#x20AC;? Ms McLeish says there has been a parliamentary inquiry into the bill, which will report back by 6 December. Responding to questions from the Mail, Ms Pulford said the bill would deliver on the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promise to â&#x20AC;&#x153;crack downâ&#x20AC;? on puppy farms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recreational breeders who are working within the current rules have nothing to fear from this change,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For those who are currently falling short, we are providing some additional time for them to make sure they are applying the standards expected by dog lovers across Victoria.â&#x20AC;? She said the bill would be updated to create a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recreational Breederâ&#x20AC;? category, for breeders with nine or fewer fertile female dogs, between three and nine fertile female cats, all of whom are registered with an applicable organisation, such as Dogs Victoria. The recreational breeders will have an extra 12 months before being required to register, and would have to be compliant with the Code of Practice for the Operation of Breeding and Rearing businesses 2014.

Maisy muse in artworks By Kath Gannaway WARBURTON artist Carolyn Vickers freely admits to being “a little bit obsessed”. But, it’s a beautiful obsession that enriches her life and her art. “I use my dog Maisy quite a lot in my work ... she is a very good muse,” Carolyn said in explanation of the title of her exhibition that officially opened at the Waterwheel Gallery in Warburton on Saturday, 26 November. The collection of 17 oil and watercolour works makes up the exhibition “A Little Bit Obsessed” in which Carolyn uses a lot of animal imagery to represent feelings, moods or states of being. Light also features strongly, and in her other life as a nurse, Carolyn is often travelling through the valley in the early morning, capturing on film and in her artist’s mind the colours and textures of light at that special time of day. “I want to capture a mood, it could be vulnerability ... it could be joy, and to get people feeling something from the works which are based in nature and around animals,” Carolyn said as the exhibition came together last week. Dog dreaming is one of those works that beautifully conveys the joy and amusement that most dog owners will connect with as their own ‘muse’ dreams of whatever dogs dream about. Carolyn has been passionate about art all her life and says while she has worked through various styles over the years, her current works combine a little bit of abstract to fairly representational. “A Little Bit Obsessed” is on show, with works for sale, until 14 December at The Waterwheel Gallery, 3400 Warburton Highway, Warburton. Phone 5966 9600.

Art show is revitalised By Jesse Graham YARRA Valley and Dandenong Ranges artists are being called on to put their best work forward, with registrations opening for next year’s Yarra Glen Art Show. The art show, which will be held from 11-13 March, 2017, has undergone an expansion after the 2015 event, according to co-ordinator Debra Traill. Ms Traill said the “revitalisation” of the project included a re-design of its logo, to represent the landscape of Yarra Glen, as well as new awards on offer for artists and an activity for visitors to complete when they visit. She said the activity would be held at the Yarra Glen Memorial Hall, where the show is being held, and would be a weaving

activity between two of the outdoor poles. “To engage the community and our visitors more, we’re going to have a community engagement activity, which we’ll probably set up between these poles here,” Ms Traill said. “People, as they come and visit, participate in that piece of work and, hopefully, we’ll finish it by the end of the show and display it somewhere afterwards.” Awards at the show include the Founders’ Award for Best in Show, Best Oil/Acrylic Work, Best Work on Paper, Best Three Dimensional, Young Artist and People’s Choice. Ms Traill said that students at the primary school would be creating sculpture works in the lead-up to the event, and would be displayed in shops along the

town’s main street to promote the show. Throughout the show’s long weekend, Ms Traill said musicians would perform throughout town and in front of the hall, to add “atmosphere” to the event. For now, she said registrations for artists were open through the event’s website, and that the organisers were looking for more sponsors and volunteers to support the event. Registrations close on Friday, 17 February. The award winners will be announced at the show’s opening night on Friday, 10 March. For more information or to register for the event, visit www. yarraglenartshow.com.au, email info@yarraglenartshow.com.au or call 0419 129 480.

Yarra Glen Art Show organisers, Carmela, Debra and Robyn, outside the Memorial Hall, Picture: JESSE GRAHAM where the event will be held next year. 162425

FANTASTIC Beasts and Where To Find Them is a dazzling and often heart-warming fantasy film let down by an unfocused narrative and a lack of originality, even setting aside its status as a Harry Potter spin-off. Wizard zoologist Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) travels to 1920s New York with a suitcase full of magical creatures, many of which he must recapture after they escape to run amok in the city.

Fantastic Beasts is full of quirky, endearing characters with touching relationships and engaging development. The action set-pieces and visual design are stunningly beautiful, and the film really succeeds in presenting a vibrant living world, capturing the wonder and danger of magic as effectively as the Potter franchise ever has. Unfortunately, the plot can’t quite get its act together. For all its fascinating world-building and intriguing sub-plots, the film is terribly vague about the villain’s plan, why MACUSA (the Magical Congress of the United States) is so distrusting of magical

creatures or why Newt has even come to New York in the first place. Redmayne is fun but uninspired as Newt, with his persona almost a carbon copy of the Eleventh Doctor from Doctor Who. The wonderfully expressive, dignified Katherine Waterston, as MACUSA agent Porpentina, holds her own far more as a performer and character. The running goal is also strongly reminiscent of Pokemon. Fantastic Beasts is a delightful film if you ignore the sloppy set-up and serious identity crisis. - Seth Lukas Hynes

Mid November has produced sales in excess of $2.6 million from our Wesburn office. If you want your share, it is currently a sellers market. Phone Sandy. Gifted Agent equals great results for all concerned..... “I met Sandy Hall in my search for a property in the Warburton area and had arranged to meet her at a prospective property. The house was lovely, but it didn’t tick all of the boxes for me. Sandy asked me to describe what I wanted in a home and I outlined a few of my ‘must haves’. Subsequently, Sandy was able to show me the perfect Home and I immediately knew it was the right one and I was successful in purchasing it. Over the years, I have dealt with many Agents, and find that “listening skills” are often not practised. Sandy is able to really listen to your needs and one of her gifts is to match you to your perfect home. Sandy is professional in her approach, personable and keeps you informed throughout the process and I would recommend Sandy to both Buyers and Sellers. - Jan. Melbourne House selling within 12 hours must make one sit up and take notice. Sandy Hall, of Sandy Hall Real Estate, was the miracle worker. We found her professionalism and absolute dedication to maximising the desired result nothing short of amazing. A whirlwind………….. we would highly recommend the services of Sandy Hall. -

Mount Evelyn undefeated By Chris Anderson YVCA ROUND 6 action of cricket around the valley concluded on the weekend. What was billed as an exciting fixture of games didn’t disappoint, as all three games in the top grade saw their respective combatants trade blow for blow. At the end of the round, there was only going to be one undefeated team remaining, with Mount Evelyn winning the bragging rights as they outlasted Woori Yallock at home. After managing to post a large total of 271, courtesy of a great fightback by the tail, the home side had the upper hand going into day two after they managed to remove two batsman late on the first day. The Tigers had the challenge ahead of them, but it is dangerous writing off a champion team. The loss of two early wickets didn’t help the cause as Mount Evelyn turned the screws sensing a confidence boosting win was on the cards. Simon Young joined Mick Dwyer (22) at the wicket and the pair provided the perfect ’yin and yang’ to the situation. Young immediately put the pressure back on the attack with some explosive batting, while Dwyer provided the constant rock at the other end. Just as the Woori Yallock ship looked back on track, Dwyer’s wicket fell and, at 5/79, the victory target looked well off. Hayden Smith joined Young at the crease, with his energetic approach combining with Young’s brutal stroke play and moving along the innings at a quick rate. With the score racing to 122, and Young posting a rapid half century, the wheels fell off the chase in two disastrous overs for the visitors. Smith was run out after a bad mixup, while Young followed after a clever piece of bowling from Gareth Fraser. Aaron Rowe and Stephen Morgan showed some grit leading into the tea interval, while Jarrod Bayliss added some lusty blows to the score. But the damage had been done early and the Tigers couldn’t manage a fight back to match that of Mount Evelyn’s a week earlier, eventually the visitors fell 95 runs short. Rovers’ captain Kane Jones (4/60) collected a couple of valuable day two wickets to add to his late strikes on day one. He was again well supported by Chad Witherdin (2/28) and Chris Anderson (2/38). Now perched alone on top of the ladder, the challenges continue for the Rovers as they face a formidable Warburton-Millgrove outfit after a fortnight’s rest. Along with Woori Yallock, these two teams are emerging as front-runners this season, so this game promises to be a classic. Despite the disappointment of the loss, Woori Yallock’s standing in the competition hasn’t diminished and they will be keen to make amends against Seville. Seville recorded their first win of the season will a well fought victory at Yarra Glen. A great battle between bat and ball on day one saw the home side bat most of the day to post 165, a challenging

total, but definitely not one to strike fear for the Blues. After last round’s meek capitulation by its top-order, captain Matt Hadlum put it upon himself to take charge of the situation - and that he did. Opening up with the bat, Hadlum showed a steady hand at the top of the innings with an extended stay at the crease. Batting for over 60 overs, Hadlum had enough support from his teammates, including a valuable partnership with Harry Byrnes (39). This not only kept the scoreboard ticking over, but to keep the team from experiencing another collapse. The Yarra Glen bowlers didn’t make things easy for Blues, and excellent medium-pace bowling from Joshua Clare (2/19) was well backed up by their bevy of talented slow bowlers led by leg-spinner James Kelly (3/47). Hadlum stayed firm at the crease and his steady innings of 69 proved the difference between the two teams. Despite the game reaching the final few overs, the chase never really looked in danger of falling short of its intended destination. With four wickets in hand, Seville posted a confidence-boosting victory. Seville new found confidence will be tested against Woori Yallock on the rebound. But if they can muster the same grit with the bat, against the best attack in the competition, then anything is possible. Yarra Glen now travel to Healesville in search of their first win. Their improvements have been notable across the season so far in the top grade, but a win is crucial to avoid the mid-season blues. Healesville have resurrected their sputtering season with consecutive victories; this time against Yarra Junction. These two teams seem destined to fight it out for the last position in the top four, so this game would prove crucial to both teams’ chances of seeing finals action. Healesville somehow managed to post a competitive 232 after being 4/8, so the game was well poised for an enthralling day two. Despite the early wicket of Troy Hancock, the Eagles were able to steady and get themselves into the chase through a tidy partnership between Cameron Spaulding and Pat Ford. But, from there, their top-order failed to capitalise on a stream of starts. Ford provided some scoring impetus, but his teammates couldn’t stick around long enough to make significant inroads to the chase. Dermott Fry was proving to be the Bloods’ most effective bowler; and when he was able to remove Ford (39), for his third wicket, the chase looked forlorn at 6/102. Experience was needed to reignite the chase. This was provided in spades from Kevin Bomford (43) as he combined with Lachlan Dempster to add some much needed resilience to the innings. The pair combined watchful defence with fluent stroke-play and started to pose some much-needed questions of the bowlers and the fielding side.

With the partnership growing to 78, and the score reaching a healthy 6/180, the game looked back on even keel with 50 runs to get over the final 10 overs. Bloods captain Ash Hamer (3/20) put it upon himself, and Fry (4/50), to arrest the slide, and the pair delivered swiftly. Bomford’s resistance ended with the score on 180, and the tail meekly folded to lose their last four wickets in the space of five runs and three overs to hand the home side a 48-run victory. Yarra Junction now have a couple of weeks off, courtesy of the bye, and they will need to use this time to iron out their batting woes. As proved this round, their batting line-up bats deep, but they are desperate for some considerable, and consistent, contributions from their top order to capitalise on this strength. The Eagles are still in the finals mix, so a much-needed refresh might be just what the doctor ordered. Healesville now host Yarra Glen. They will be eyeing off a third victory in a row to strengthen their claims for finals and build on their recent form. They, too, will be looking for answers for their top order woes, as they would be wary a continuation of their top order troubles could come back to bite them. DJ Strachan Shield Mount Evelyn 271 (G.

Motoring New Toyota is a head-turner TOYOTA’S head-turning C-HR - an SUV with striking coupe-like styling, engaging driving dynamics and advanced cabin quality - will be launched in Australia in late February next year. The company’s executive director sales and marketing, Tony Cramb, announcing the on-sale timing, said the C-HR was designed to stand out within the Toyota line-up and in its segment. “C-HR takes a fresh approach with its extroverted design, powerful yet fuel-efficient turbocharged petrol engine and dynamics that reward driving enthusiasts," Mr Cramb said. “It is stunning proof of the determination by Toyota to encourage greater stylistic freedom and engineering creativity in order to achieve eye-catching designs and enhanced driving pleasure.” The C-HR reaps the dynamic and safety benefits of being constructed on a highly rigid Toyota New Global Architecture-based platform (TNGA). Global chief engineer Hiroyuki Koba, a keen driver, strategically adapted the GA-C platform to confirm it met his requirements to suit the CHR’s design and driving performance. Mr Koba travelled thousands of kilometres in development models, particularly on European roads, to bring to life his vision of remarkable driving precision and comfort. The GA-C platform allows for a low centre of gravity, which results

The head-turning model will be launched early next year. 162430 in an engaging drive experience, outstanding handling and agility, and strictly controlled body roll. As a new premium entrant, C-HR will be the first Toyota vehicle in Australia equipped with a powerful yet efficient four-cylinder 1.2-litre turbo-

charged petrol engine. “This impressive engine is tuned to deliver exactly the fluent, engaging driving behaviour that C-HR customers will demand," Mr Cramb said. “It offers performance levels equivalent to a significantly larger engine,

but with lower fuel consumption and emissions." Turbocharging elicits engaging responsiveness and acceleration with peak torque of 185Nm available from just 1500rpm all the way to 4000rpm. TNGA allows the C-HR engine to

be placed low and angled slightly rearward, helping designers secure a low bonnet line as well as contributing to the low centre of gravity. On front-drive variants, the turbo engine can be mated to another new system - C-HR’s intelligent manual transmission. It automatically increases the engine revs when moving down the gears to ensure smooth gear shifts. The system also works when shifting up, improving comfort for the driver and passengers by reducing clutch shock. All variants, including all-wheeldrive models, can be driven through Toyota’s continuously variable transmission, which offers two modes - fully automatic with seamless shifting or a sequential seven-speed Sport mode. Reflecting the demands of its target customer, the Toyota C-HR will be offered in Australia with two highly equipped premium grades. Advanced driver assist safety features will be standard, including a pre-collision system with autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure alert with steering control, automatic high beam and a reversing camera. Top-of-the range customers will be able to specify heated seats, a smart entry and start system, privacy glass, leather-accented upholstery and 18inch alloy wheels.

The emergency of connected cars has many associated risks and benefits. 162429

RACV and connected cars of connected cars have only been able to share vehicle data with the relevant car-maker. Many industry observers believe that if this situation is replicated in Australia, car owners may be left with little choice but to take their car to a branded repairer, rather than an independent repairer of their choice, which will affect competition and cost. In addition to the potential for extra cost, there are also privacy concerns, as connected car technology opens up the opportunity for car-makers to pass on or sell personal information to third parties, such as insurers or marketers. This is significant when you consider an investigation conducted last year on behalf of Europe’s car clubs showed that highly personal information synced from mobile phones can be captured and transmitted back to the manufacturer. Mr Negus said: “None of this is sinister in itself, but it is important that Australians are told what information car-makers collect about the car and them and what it’s used for before this technology becomes widespread in Australia. It’s also important that our politicians consider the need for regulation to protect the consumer rights of Australian motorists.” Before establishing the My Car My Data website, 24 vehicle manufacturers that sell vehicles in Australia were invited to make their data management policies publicly available on the site. To date, eight of the 24 have responded. “RACV hopes that, over time, more vehicle

manufacturers will make their policies available via the My Car My Data website,” Mr Negus said. The ACCC is currently conducting a market study into the new car retailing industry, including

whether consumers and businesses could be affected by any restrictions on access to vehicle data. RACV looks forward to the outcomes of this review.

VICTORIA’S leading transport advocate, RACV, along with the Australian Automobile Association (AAA) this month launched the My Car My Data campaign and website to help inform motorists of the emergence of ‘connected’ cars and the potential benefits and associated risks. RACV Public Policy General Manager Brian Negus said connected cars offered many consumer benefits such as being able to communicate with the world around them and helping drivers to be aware of and avoid traffic snarls or dangers on the road. However, technology advances could mean that when Australian consumers buy their next new car, it will be a car that is capable of gathering information about the vehicle and the driver and sending it to the car-maker minute-by-minute. “Transmission of this data can help drivers reach their destination more quickly, more safely and more fuel efficiently,” Mr Negus said. “In the event of an incident or crash, a connected car can alert emergency services and your service network bring help quickly. “But the control of the data generated by these vehicles and of the security codes to access maintenance and repair activities - and the emerging debate surrounding who gets access to it - is set to pose potential privacy risks and possibly drive up running and repair costs due to impaired competitions.” The experience in Europe has been that drivers
