She then moved back to Mount Evelyn with her children, Helen and John. “I got a job working for Harry Graham at his new store, which everyone in town said was too big and wouldn’t last, but now it’s the IGA. I stayed there until I retired in the mid-1980s.” Beryl, who describes herself as a talking box,

is off to government house on 15 November for morning tea to mark her 100th birthday. Her secret to a healthy and happy life of 100 years? “I’ve never smoked, never drank alcohol and did ballroom dancing until a few years ago.

As the guns on the Western Front fell silent, the noise coming from the maternity ward of the Vaucluse Private Hospital in Moreland was from a newborn girl. Beryl Peace Todd was born on 12 November 1918, within hours of the end of the first world war. “The owner of the hospital told my parents that if they didn’t call me Pax or Peace, he wouldn’t let me out of the place,” said Beryl. “So they made my middle name Peace.” Looking back she said, “I remember my first day at Coburg state school and mum walking me to school,” she said. “We got to the school gate and I told her ‘you can go home now,’ and I think she was a bit put out by that.” “I went to Brunswick Girls Domestic Arts School, where I learned to cook, clean, keep house and sew. My first job was as a dressmaker in Flinders Lane and I loved every day I worked there.” After her early years in the northern suburbs of Melbourne she moved to the Yarra Valley in 1941. “I’ve loved living in the Yarra Valley and being in the Country Womens Association was great fun. We did a lot of cooking and I remember making aprons and selling them for charity.” “We went on CWA bus trips to Wandin and I used to parade the aprons up and down on the bus and sell them to raise money for Lilydale Hospital.” Beryl’s links to Wandin have continued and she meets weekly with a group, loosely known as the ‘ripe cherries’ in the Wandin Senior Citizens Centre for lunch. The day is put together by the Social Support Group of Yarra Ranges council and lunch is cooked by a group of young adult volunteers who are living with disabilities. Asked about how she met her husband, Jack Taylor, she cheekily flashed back, “I didn’t meet him, he met me at a dance. I didn’t think much of him that night but he thought I was ok.” “Jack worked at a timber mill in Preston and in 1941 we bought the McKillop Post Office and Store in Mount Evelyn. Then we bought a saw mill in Mount Evelyn but Jack couldn’t get the logs licence so we sold that and moved over to Marysville.” In a cruel twist of fate Jack passed away in 1963. “I met him on a dance floor and he died

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Remembrance plan By Derek Schlennstedt RSL sub-branches throughout the Dandenong Ranges will conduct services on Remembrance Day - Sunday, 11 November. One hundred years ago, on 11 November 1918, the guns of the Western Front fell silent. After more than four years of brutal fighting in the most destructive war the modern world had seen, the guns fell silent, and people around the world rejoiced. But, it came at a great cost, and for Australia, of the some 416,000 who enlisted for service more than 60,000 died. In the years that followed the war, 11 November was known as Armistice Day and two minutes of solemn silence was observed at 11am. Today, 11 November is known as Remembrance Day, and it stands as the day we pause and remember the men and women who have suffered and died in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations over a century of service. One way in which they are honoured is by the laying of poppies and reciting of the poem "In Flanders Fields." Monbulk Monbulk RSL will hold a Remembrance Day service from 10.45am in the front court. The service will be followed by morning tea in the RSL hall. Upwey - Belgrave Upwey-Belgrave RSL will hold a Remembrance Day service from 10.30am at the Belgrave-Upwey RSL. The service will be followed by morning tea at the RSL. Cockatoo Cockatoo RSL will hold a Remembrance Day service from 10.15am at the Cockatoo RSL. The service will be followed by morning tea at the clubhouse, with a barbecue.

This year Emerald RSL are inviting community groups to lay a wreath or a floral tribute - but it will be done en masse as a community with the Emerald RSL leading the way. A highlight of the service will be Puffing Billy, covered in poppies arriving at 10.15. Dandenong Ranges Dandenong Ranges RSL will hold a Remembrance Day service from 10.30am at the Sassafras Village Green where they will also unveil their new community project which has been created with the children and staff of Sassafras Primary School. Following the service people are welcome to go to the clubhouse for morning tea. Mt Evelyn Mt Evelyn RSL will hold a Remembrance Day service on Friday 9 October at 11pm for local school and resident at the Mount Evelyn War Memorial. On 11 November Mount Evelyn RSL

will hold a service at 10.45am located at the Mt Evelyn War Memorial. This will be followed by morning tea at the clubrooms and a concert at Lilydale High School at 2pm. Lilydale Lilydale RSL will hold a Remembrance Day service from 10.45am at the war memorial on Main street Lilydale. This will be a three-fold event with poppy Collection, ceremony and finally a community concert to be held at Lilydale High School. The concert will highlight 1914 progressively through till 1918, and will take place at 2pm on Remembrance Day. Gembrook Gembrook RSL will hold a Remembrance Day service from 10.30am at the Gembrook cenotaph on the corner of Redwood and Gembrook Road. The service will feature a band and will recognise and remember local community members who fought in WW1. The service will be followed by morning tea at the RSL clubhouse.

A special Remembrance Day concert in Lilydale will mark 100 years since the end of World War I. The Lilydale RSL and ARK Theatre will commemorate the centenary of the Armistice with Centenary - the Yarra Valley Remembers. It will take place at 2pm on Sunday 11 November at the Lilydale High School Performing Arts Theatre and will share stories about the locals who went to war and those who kept the home fires burning. The show will be a series of sketches, WWI songs and poems and a short film made by students at Lilydale High School. All of these will tell the story of what happened locally during the World War I, using the words of local people like Ralph Goode, JD Burns, Dame Nellie Melba, CJ Dennis, Mrs Gunn and more. "I have seen the script for this and it looks wonderful and I can guarantee this will be a very special event," Mount Evelyn RSL secretary Anthony McAleer said. "I know this will be an extraordinary experience to commemorate the centenary of the Armistice." Tickets are $5 and proceeds will go to the Seville War Memorial project.

IN BRIEF

Tributes flow for Jai Mount Evelyn Junior Football Club is mourning the loss of player Jai Reed. The under-16s team member died due to complications with epilepsy on 28 October, aged 16. "The entire Mount Evelyn Junior Football Club stand united in support sending you all our love and compassion," a tribute to his family said. "You are in our prayers and thoughts." A message from his parents posted on the club Facebook page said their hearts were shattered. "We are so proud of you Jai, you were so loved and had so much love to give," it said. "We couldn't be prouder to be your family,

we love you every day and will love you every day. "Thank you to those who were there to support him and to all of you who have loved him." His father, Nathan Reed, wrote that it was Jai's first season with the Rovers. "He found a special place where he felt like he belonged," he said. "Belinda and Kayden, Chase and I are so truly grateful to the players, coaches and parents that made his time there so precious to him." Others paid tribute to Jai's "gorgeous smile and cheeky antics" and said he was "just a good kid that would talk to anyone" and "the most kind and caring young man".

"Your boy made our boys smile, something they're struggling to do now he's gone," read one message. Another said Jai touched many hearts with his vibrant vest for life and he was a beautiful young man. A funeral service for Jai will be held at 11am on Thursday 8 November at Discovery Church, 89 Monbulk Road, Mount Evelyn. In lieu of flowers, his family has welcomed contributions to the Royal Children's Hospital/Epilepsy Foundation. Attendees are encouraged to wear club colours to show their united support to Jai's family.

Fire danger period is just weeks away The CFA’s Fire Danger Period is officially only weeks away for the Yarra Ranges. From 1am on Monday 19 November, any open air burning outside of using barbecues or personal fire pits will not be permitted without a permit from the CFA. “We’re urging residents to take notice now and clean up their property, collecting fallen tree debris, grass and twigs and excess vegetation,” Yarra Ranges Mayor Len Cox said. He said they should make the most of green waste bin and bundled branches collection. “Maintaining your property and keeping it

fire safe means regularly cleaning up through the fire season, not just cleaning up before the FDP begins,” he said. Council fire prevention officers will be inspecting properties across the Yarra Ranges over the coming months as part of its Fire Hazard Inspection Program. Meanwhile, the council has started its annual roadside slashing program, working to reduce roadside vegetation and weeds that can become fuel in a bush or grass fire. The CFA's north-east region community safety manager Tammy Garrett said residents

should always register their burn off with the Emergency Services Telecommunications Agency (ESTA) on 1800 668 511 and check weather conditions before lighting a burn. “Managing the bushfire risk is everyone’s responsibility,” she said. “The more residents do to clean up their properties now, the more it will help the community should there be fires in the local environment." Local police said they would be taking a zero-tolerance approach to illegal burning off during the FDP.

Rise in road rage Monbulk police are urging drivers to be more patient and tolerant following a rise in road rage incidents. Leading Senior Constable Peter Edyvane said there'd been an increase in minor road rage-type incidents. "People have got to be a bit more patient," he said. "They're getting cut off at an intersection or a parking spot's taken. "People go overboard and they're starting to threaten people with assault. "They could end up in front of a magistrate."

More parks for Mooroolbark A re-elected Labor State Government would build up to 450 new and upgraded car parks at Mooroolbark Railway Station. The cash would come from the $150 million Car parks for Commuters Fund. Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said the existing car park was often full by the morning peak, forcing commuters to park elsewhere - clogging up nearby local streets. This investment will aim to double the spaces at Mooroolbark, with a deck to be built on the existing car park with works to be incorporated into the Manchester Road, Mooroolbark level crossing removal. The project would also include new lighting and CCTV to make the station safer.

Lotto winner unaware The team at Mooroolbark Lotto Centre is celebrating selling its third division one-winning entry in just five months. One of its customers won more than $441,000 in the weekend's TattsLotto draw but they don't know it yet. The winning entry was one of the nine division one-winning entries nationally in the Saturday 3 November TattsLotto draw. Tatts officials are encouraging Mooroolbark residents who bought an entry at the Brice Avenue shop to check their tickets.

Boost for Birmingham Birmingham Primary will soon create a nature play area thanks to a $200,000 grant. The Mount Evelyn school is among 93 across Victoria sharing $15 million to build all-access play areas, sensory gardens and outdoor learning areas to support students with disabilities and additional needs. The cash is from the State Government's $30 million Inclusive Schools Fund. "This nature play area will make a real difference by ensuring Birmingham Primary School provides an inclusive environment for all students," Eastern Victoria Region MP Daniel Mulino said. Education Minister and Monbulk MP James Merlino said: "These projects are all about giving our primary schools the equipment and infrastructure they need to inspire a lifelong passion for learning for all of their students and to show that disability isn't a barrier to learning and achieving."

Time is running out for pre-fire season burn-offs.

Be fire ready for season Yarra Ranges residents have just over two weeks to burn off ahead of the bushfire season, with the CFA’s Fire Danger Period declared to start on Monday, 19 November. The Fire Danger Period marks the official beginning of the fire season here in Yarra Ranges. During the Fire Danger Period, any open air burning outside of the use of barbecues or personal fire pits/Chimneas will not be permitted without a permit. Permits will only be considered by Council’s Municipal Fire Prevention Officer when there are extenuating circumstances and the material is presenting a significant fire risk and where there is no alternative.” I encourage residents to use the remaining two weeks to organise a burn off when it’s safe

From my

desk Len Cox

Yarra Ranges mayor/Walling Ward to do so, and to make the most of their green waste bin and bundled branches collection. Check the Council website for details about burning off in your area before 19 November, but just remember that burning off isn’t the only way to clear your property - use a fort-

nightly green waste bin to get rid of excess vegetation, and make sure you check your street’s date for our upcoming bundled branches collection. It’s also important to remember that maintaining your property and keeping it fire safe means regularly cleaning up through the fire season, not just cleaning up before the FDP begins. Remember, during the fire season clean properties mean safer neighbourhoods and communities. The bundled branches collection starts on Monday, 26 November, and will run for three weeks. During this time, you can put out up to 20 bundles of branches at a total of three cubic metres (1.5m long, 200mm diameter), tree

limbs (75mm-200mm diameter, maximum 1.5m long) and bundled branches (maximum 1.5mm long, 75mm diameter). We’ve sent out courtesy letter to residents across the Yarra Ranges who received a Fire Prevention Notice last year, reminding them that now is a critical time to prepare properties for the fire season, and we’ll have officers out soon inspecting properties to make sure we’re all ready for the fire season. Meanwhile, we’ve started our roadside slashing program, to reduce excess vegetation and weeds around roadsides that can quickly become fuel in a bushfire. Visit cfa.vic.gov.au and yrc.vic.gov.au/ fireready for more information on preparing for the season.

Sod-turning for play By Derek Schlennstedt Contracts have been awarded for the construction of the Olinda playspace and dog off-lead area as part of Stage Two works of the Olinda Precinct Project. James Merlino turned the sod on the nature based play space on October 26. The Andrews Government has provided $7.67million in total towards the Olinda Precinct Project, including $1.25million for the playspace. The Olinda Playspace will be the first regional-scale nature based playspace on Mount Dandenong, designed by award-winning Fitzgerald Frisby Landscape Architecture (FFLA). The design has responded directly to the

community's vision for the playspace after the Olinda Community Open Day in November 2018, where over 50 children and adults contributed their ideas for the area. That open day revealed a strong desire for nature-play, use of timber, water features and terraced rock structures. The play space forms part of the broader Olinda Precinct Project recently came under fire from residents who were concerned about the over development of the location. In a post on Facebook Mr Merlino conceded that there was opposition to the project but hoped everyone's needs can be accommodated. "Whilst I know there is a small group of people who are opposed to a new oval as part of the

Olinda Precinct Project and want nothing at all to happen, I think it's important to highlight that the oval equates to only 4.9% of the 34 hectare former golf course - we can accommodate everyone's needs in the precinct!," it stated "We will turn the old golf course into public parklands with something for everyone - active and passive recreation, an incredible regional playground, sports oval, netball court, dog off lead area, walking trails, community BBQ's, shelter, seating, landscaping and picnic facilities." "The boys and girls who run around and kick a footy, bowl a cricket ball or throw a netball have just as much a right to enjoy this precinct as people who enjoy walking or taking their dog for a run."

Weaving their way through the school life By Derek Schlennstedt An ambitious creative project at Macclesfield Primary School is teaching preps to weave tapestries. Since the school year began, preps have been weaving coloured weft threads to create a self-portrait of themselves that will never fade, or lose any of its colour. The project began when parent Charmaine Kvalic wanted to give something back to her school community. "I've got all this knowledge about tapestry and went to university to study it and I thought it would be wasted if I don't share it," Founder of the Children's Tapestry Project, Ms Kvalic said. "At the preps very first art class we asked them to do a portrait, and from their portraits the tapestries have come out and are evolving." "Every week the preps come in and I have a bit of the tapestry done, and we have a talk about the portrait and the symbolism or sig-

In conjunction with the art department Ms Kvalic and the prep students have woven 22 individual self-portraits. The project has been run voluntarily by Ms Kvalic and is self-funded. At the end of the school year, Macclesfield Primary School will hold an exhibition for all 22 portraitures,

which can be bought and will fundraise money for the school. "A tapestry is a lifetime thing it will last forever, rather than just a piece of paper," Ms Kvalic said. "It's extended their language and given them an insight into an art form that otherwise they wouldn't have knowledge about." Ms Kvalic said the preps were embracing the portrait program and thanked the school for embracing the project. "They're learning all the time, playing it like a harp, learning the different threads, and weaves chasing the weft." "It's been amazing, the kids are wild for it." "It's a little school but we have big ideas, so full steam ahead, not just STEM ahead," she joked. The exhibition called #mykidcoulddothat will be unveiled at Macclesfield Primary School on 10 December at 6pm, and the tapestries will be available to see until the end of the school term.

Seasonal closures Many roads and tracks in Victoria’s forests and parks reopened on Thursday 1 November as seasonal closures finish for the year. Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) and Parks Victoria have wrapped up their seasonal road closure program, which runs during the wetter months to protect forest and park roads from damage and minimise risk to users. Monica Mains, Yarra District senior forest management and roading officer, said that most roads in the Yarra District would reopen in time for the Melbourne Cup weekend though some tracks, including Sisters Track and Spion Kopje Track, within the Tarago water supply catchment area would remain closed until 30 November. “Seasonal road closures occur during winter and spring when tracks are wet and vulnerable to damage from vehicle use,” she said. “Limiting access during this time protects water quality in rivers and creeks, stops fire access tracks from degrading over winter and ensures motorists aren’t driving in hazardous conditions. “We would like to thank the Four Wheel Drive Victoria and Yarra Valley 4wd Club volunteers who helped clear some of the track clearing work prior to reopening. “While we’ve made every effort to ensure the roads are ready for the opening weekend, drivers should be prepared to encounter any fallen trees or other debris. “Our forests are beautiful places to visit, and we encourage everyone to do the right thing and obey all road signs and rules so that everyone can enjoy them.” To plan a trip and check road closures visit www.ffm.vic.gov.au/visiting-state-forests/forest-and-road-closures.

LETTERS Protesting all round Aaah, protestors! Where would we be without them? From the miserable twerp in the local tiddlywinks club, to the mouthy neighbour when you want to improve some aspect of your garden, and the single-issue would-be politician - we all need protestors, don't we? Now, I am going to become one - shock and horror - and protest against a group, the Hills Common Alliance. They proclaim, as in the Herald Sun (26 October), that they don't want a "nature area ruined by a new sports ground" as per the $7.65 million redevelopment grant to the former golf course at Olinda. Here we have a marvellous, generous government grant to turn part - and I repeat, part - of this site into cricket nets, an oval for footballers, and a regional playground, together with landscaping. It seems to be of no concern to the Alliance of the benefit to the entire community. The youth alone of the hills area where the football club has, I understand, teams stretching from Auskick for five-year-olds to under10s, 12s, 14s and 16s - about 100 juniors. Similarly with the cricket club, 40 to 60 juniors. All this before we take into account the vast potential of female AFL. Currently, I understand the club has up to 50 junior girls, and expanding! Together with senior teams, facilities must be stretched to the limit - a crying need for this redevelopment to become a reality. 'No, no, no', cries the Alliance, 'we want this area untouched!' To add further to their self-centred thinking, they proclaim that the issue has caused a

"huge split" within the community. What??? I am a member of that community. I shop locally, frequent the coffee shops and restaurants, swim in the community pool, and partake in Friday night drinks at one of our marvellous watering holes. Have I noticed a huge split within the community? Far from it. All I have spoken to have applauded the redevelopment. But no, the Alliance claim, and we may be going to VCAT. I am sure they will see the unfairness of your stance. But wait! Here I am, back to the beginning of my missive, a protestor! Hopefully my protest will resonate within the community, and the Alliance will be seen for what they are - lacking in empathy and, more importantly, vision. K Tindall, Olinda

Emerald Country Club Regarding the article in the Trader on 23 October, I was appalled to see the state of this onceloved venue. The Emerald Country Club has a very important historical history to the area. It was once part of the Nobelius Nursery which was noted in 1900 as the largest nursery in the southern hemisphere. The club house was built in 1929, mainly from local pink stone which was quarried on the property. The interior has a beautiful timber ceiling with wooden panels around the walls and also featuring stonework fire places doublesided.

Over the years many events, including birthdays, weddings, art shows and Sunday lunches, all have been held in the beautiful dining room. Locals have used this venue for many years until it changed hands. Since the country club was purchased in the 1980s by an international owner the place has run at a loss and has not been cared for and we have watched it become run-down. A plan went to council around this time to turn the area into a very large country resort. Council refused this application. I do not know the details. The Country Club is on the heritage list with the council and National Trust?? The Emerald Museum holds trophies from the 1930s onwards of sporting events etcetera and many photos of the area depicting this history. What can be done to save this historic house and grounds? We cannot let this building deteriorate any longer. Chris Britton, Emerald Museum

Relishing choice Fair bloody dinkum - not Jenny Moxham of Monbulk yet again (Why should we choose? 30 October) going on about animals being - for so many the likes of myself - such good bloody tucker (not to mention animal cruelty). Jenny, provided it's not tucker unacceptable to Aussie culture (like eating dogs or horses); not humanely killed and no way near threatened with extinction - I relish the choice of most bovine and venison flesh (medium to well done, I might add) from the rump, loin, shoulder or ribs! And how I love the choice of steak and kid-

ney pies or stews (especially the latter dumpling-covered). Now I've even known Jenny to sound off in the past about foxes (rampant, maniacal, justfor-the-love-of-it killers of tiny plover chicks caught on the ground, baby koalas, and other tiny Aussie native fauna) being hunted and killed; bringing me to berate chooks (of which the dastardly fox will kill every one trapped at roost in the chook shed, just for the hell of it); because, when it comes to so-very delectable bacon and eggs, the chook is so very miserly, with such a minor commitment; whilst poor old bloody, pig goes the whole, bloodied-hog!

Praise for pooch support What a beautiful article about the therapy pooch on the front of your Ranges Trader Mail on 30 October. Being an avid dog-lover and employee at local council, I note lots of staff with mental health issues that could be eased and reduce lost productivity if we had a therapy pooch within the workplace. I note that Frankston Council has a wellness dog who works amongst them who brings much benefit to the employees of their council by providing a gentle soul to pat/connect with when a day in the office has been tough. The mental health benefits to human beings has been recognised time and time again and I think it's time we incorporate dogs more into our workplaces to help improve morale, staff productivity and overall health of employees, not only at councils but across the board.

Every nook and cranny By Derek Schlennstedt

Two of the most popular garden openings in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges have blossomed and will be soon ready for viewing. The Nook, with its Romantic English-style cottage garden, is looking delightful this year, according to its creator, Val Jackson. She said the garden features a huge array of floral favourites, including roses, lavender, camellias and azaleas. "It's very much a romantic English cottage style garden," Val said. "Full of perennials and roses - they're my great passion." "It's an interesting garden and has brick paths and different levels but not too steep and also has steps and a ramp, so if people come with a pram or wheelchair, they can use the ramp." Val and her neighbour Doug Brook are featuring their gardens together and Val added that both gardens compliment one another. Ms Jackson said her garden helps to keep alive the memory of her loving husband, Don, with whom she started the garden 12 years ago. She said the many frameworks and arches within the garden complement the 'secret garden' feel and attributes much of the design to her husband's vision. "Don was a horticulturist and he had a vast knowledge," she said. "He taught me all I know and I open this in his memory." "This is my 25th opening and I just want to share it with people as it is a beautiful garden." Entry to The Nook and the Tavisbrook Garden next door costs $10 for both gardens and proceeds go towards the Monbulk CFA. The event will be held over the weekend of

Meeting for a shed Upwey has nearly everything - restaurants, sporting Clubs, a CFA brigade , community groups galore, a railway station, even a flag pole, but what Upwey doesn't have is a Men's Shed. Upwey stalwarts, Peter Marke, Andrew Peterson, Andrew Fullagar and Mark Addison are looking to change that. On 13 November an information night will be held to determine the amount of interest in starting a Men's Shed in Upwey. Peter Marke said that he always felt there was a need for one in the township and that the meeting will help gauge the level of interest in creating one.

"It's been on my bucket list for some years and I always knew that when time permits I'd get onto it," he said."We've teamed up to combine resources and convene a meeting to explore the level of community interest and whether people would volunteer to take on the project too." "Men's Sheds have always interested me particularly the societal benefits let alone the personal benefits that they provide to those participating in them." A Men's Shed is a charitable not-for-profit association and is exactly what the name describes - a place where men can get together, join in activities and talk about what's on their mind.

It is often a fully equipped workshop where skilled and unskilled men can share time with each other, swap stories and work together on community projects. Mr Marke invited anyone with an interest in creating a local Men's Shed to attend the meeting. "Join us for an informative evening to discuss the benefits of Men's Shed's, and the opportunity to launch one right here I Upwey," he said. The meeting will take place at 7:30pm, November 13, at the Peterson Pavilion, Upwey Recreation Reserve, Chosen Avenue, Upwey.

Happy Halloween is one for the kids More than 4000 people came together to celebrate Halloween at Ferny Creek Recreation Reserve on Saturday 27 October. The second Halloween on the Green event attracted families from across the outer eastern region keen to dress up in their spookiest outfits and enjoy the warm weather. The festivities included community members being dunked into a vat of water, face painting, and various free carnival rides. Event organiser and Philanthropic Collective member Andrew Fillip-Gautier said "a true working spirit of community came together in many differing ways to create this event”. “We researched how death is celebrated within different cultures around the world and laid that all out in information pillars 2.6 metre high in a triangle,” he said. “We’re trying to get away from the notion that it’s an American celebration.”

MONBULK CAR SHOW

Back, bigger than before The annual Monbulk Car Show is here again, bigger and better than ever before! This year's event will be a continuation of the major changes made to the show last year. There will be more rides for the Kids Zone, more food and attractions in the trade alley, and most importantly, a continuation of the improvement of display vehicle quality. And for the first time, this year's show will have invitational cars on display. "One of last year's major changes was the trophies we awarded. Huge 350mm tall chrome cup trophies that any red-blooded car person would be proud to brag about to their mates," Event Organiser Richard Licciardi said. "This year we have money can't buy trophies. A super cool Piston and Conrod from car no.22 (James Courtney) "So if your car is something special bring it along and get your unique piece of Australian motor racing history and put it straight into the pool room!" The trophy categories are as per last year and include best paint and panel, best engineered, best original restoration, CFA captain's award, police sergeant's award and best club display. "So you don't even have to have the best car on the day, just catch the imagination of the fire captain or police sergeant and you could get your hands on one of our sort after trophies!" Richard said. The members of the public even get a say on which car they like most, with the inclusion of a people's choice award. "So don't despair if your car doesn't have the best paint at the show, you still could win one of three awards!" Richard said. The Monbulk Car Show is not a strict 'chrome bumper' show.

Crowds flock to Monbulk for the show. "We love special cars from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and even exotics or that rare and collectable late model HSV or FPV! All special cars are invited!" The improved Kids-Zone will ensure there is entertainment for everyone in the family and is still only $5 per child for unlimited rides. Local clubs and schools will be selling food and novelties for kids and all the tasty food shops will be open for business. "Two great local bands will be belting out rockabilly music throughout the day," Richard said. "The locally renowned 'Wild Turkey' will be returning and will be joined by another local band 'No Parking'. Wild Turkey will headline and be appearing on the lawn in the forecourt of the RSL where people are able to enjoy a beer or wine whilst enjoying the sunshine.

"For those who love their cars we have a special guest this year, Fletch from the TV show 'Classic Restos', who will be wandering the show looking for cars and the stories of their owners to appear on one of the episodes of his show. Be careful, you or your car may even end up on TV!" Richard said. "So come along, bring your pride and Joy (if you have one) and have one of the cheapest days out you will have with your family at only $12 for a family of 5! (Individuals only $5). "Support our local CFA, emergency services and farming community as you enjoy the sights and sounds of some magnificent machinery." For more information or to pre-register your car, email monbulkcarshow@gmail.com or visit www.facebook.com/monbulkcarshow.

The show has plenty of entertainment to keep all family members amused.

Winners are grinners!

This year's Monbulk Car Show is showing that the local community can work together to create an amazing show. The show is going from strength to strength each year with this year's event set to be the biggest event in Monbulk. The show relies on its volunteers to pull the day together and cannot be possible also without the generous input of sponsors. This year the show has more sponsors than ever thanks to Bendigo Bank Monbulk, Tesselaar's, Milsomes Auto Paints, Monbulk Bowling Club, Monbulk RSL, MRE Property Marketing, Lumley Special Vehicle's Insurance, Ferntree Gully Radiators, Uptech OffRoad Centre Monbulk, Burson Auto Paints and Monbulk Tyre and Auto. That's a massive boost to help with the running costs of the show and locals are encouraged to support these businesses like they support the show. The idea behind the show is community supporting community. All helpers that organise the show (and run it on the day) are volunteers giving back. The local traders also love the show as the vibe in the street is fantastic. With more and more things for the whole family to do it's not an event to be missed! The funds raised from the show go straight back to the community to the Monbulk CFA and other community groups involved on the day. Local scouts are fundraising for Jamboree coming up in January 2019 in South Australia. Local sporting clubs are also seeing the show as a way to both raise funds and connect with their community. The Monbulk CFA will be performing a mock car accident rescue on a vehicle during the day.

LOOKING GOOD FEELING GREAT

Foot, knee or leg pain? Feet and legs are vital for mobility and balance and are the basis of most daily activities, so its no wonder most people suffer foot, knee or leg pain at some point in their lives. The experts at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics recently shed light on common foot and leg concerns, naming the most common concerns as knee pain, injuries and arthritis, heel, shin and forefoot pain as well as ankle and achilles concerns. "Many conditions are misdiagnosed and incorrectly treated, so it's important to find an experienced musculoskeletal or sports podiatrist to assist," the experts at Foot and Leg Pain Clinics said. "Bad foot posture can continually pull your body out of alignment, which can contribute to postural aches/pains and undue stress on joints and tissues." Early symptoms for diabetes, arthritis, nerve and circulatory problems often show themselves initially in the feet. "Traditional treatments such as cortisone, anti-inflammatory medications and joint arthroscopies are now outdated for conditions such as foot and leg pain and arthritis, and have been found to delay healing and cause further tissue damage in many cases," the Foot and Leg Pain Clinic experts said "We now have effective, natural medical alternatives and treatments for such conditions. Regenerative therapies such as Prolotherapy and PRP (platelet rich plasma) are helping many to heal injuries and assist degeneration." Experts warn that foot and leg problems left untreated usually do get worse, however, most foot and leg concerns can be addressed relatively easily and effectively with appropriate treatment. "By combining regenerative therapies with a sound knowledge of musculoskeletal medi-

A PEACEFUL HAVEN CLOSE TO TOWN SITUATED at the end of a no-through road and positioned to take in the beauty of the surrounding nature, every day will be a delight here with an abundance of native birds, lush green pasture where animals graze, magnificent trees and a backdrop of distant ranges. Everything has been done to the home allowing the lucky new owners to move in and enjoy. Double-hung windows and floorboards add character and charm, while down-lights, blinds, and the latest fittings and fixtures provide a stylish modern environment. The Caesarstone kitchen is a chef's dream with loads of bench space, soft-close drawers and Bosch dishwasher and stove. North-facing living areas are drenched in natural light and double doors provide access to the full-length deck, which is the ideal place to start a morning routine, and then settle back in the evening with a glass of the best to make the most of the private half-acre setting. In warmer weather, the 3.5 by 4 metre retractable awning at the side of the home will provide shade for outdoor activities. Creature comforts include ducted gas heating throughout, split-system and sevenchannel in-built speakers. There are three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, the master with ensuite effect to the bathroom. The leafy yard is beautifully landscaped and features a mixture of both native gum and deciduous trees, an abundance of fruit trees, berries, perennial vegetables and herbs which will cater to a self-

council approval). Additionally, there is plenty of parking space for up to 10 cars. Here is an opportunity to secure an idyllic property within easy reach of major arterial

sufficient country lifestyle. The upper terrace has been designed to cater for a home office or studio with data points and power laid to the site (subject to

SCOUTS’ WISH IS GRANTED THANKS to Ranges First National Real Estate and realestate.com.au, the Selby/ Menzies Creek 1st Scouts group received a $1500 Community Advantage Grant for a new Altegra gazebo. At the Menzies Creek Scout Hall on 29 October, group leaders Marija and Jeremy and scouts received the cheque. “What a great community we have where even small groups like us get the opportunity to be supported,” Marija said. “It’s hard to find sponsors in a small town, especially considering there are no shops or businesses. “We rely on our surrounding suburbs whom normally already sponsor their townships clubs and groups.” The group has had no luck with multiple gazebo purchases in recent years. Being of inferior quality, they fail and break within a year. Receiving this grant ensures that the scouts have a dry spot to run community events such as the annual Christmas tree sale, Menzies Creek fete, Belgrave Lantern Parade and camping cook-ups. Ranges First National looks forward to seeing the gazebo used throughout the community and continuing to support the group for years to come. Community groups that need sponsorship can call 9754 611 or visit Ranges First National’s Cockatoo or Belgrave offices. ●

A BEAUTIFUL RETREAT

The scouts receive the cheque.

A COUNTRY lane leads to this perfectly positioned character, Australian Country Retreats home that oozes charm and is situated on one the best blocks of land in the hills. Polished hardwood floors, feature leadlight, picture rails and big rooms pay homage to a bygone era and ducted gas heating ensures a cosy environment. The separate living room provides a great space to watch the latest release on the big screen, while the family room adjoins the kitchen and meals area, providing plenty of space for the family to be united without getting under the chef’s feet. The central timber kitchen has plenty of bench space and cupboards, and will allow

its new owner to cook up a storm while viewing the goings-on in the yard at the same time. There are four bedrooms - the master is zoned away from the remaining bedrooms and is serviced by a walk-in robe and full ensuite. The fully-fenced, flat block of over two thirds of an acre is ideal for a growing family, with enough room for a cricket or footy match, a variety of established trees and a sunny aspect that would be ideal for those wanting to live a self-sufficient lifestyle. The property is within easy reach of everything that the Emerald community has to offer. ●

SPORT

In safe hands off the field By Russell Bennett A cricket club can be so much more than just a place for players to take to the field to participate in the game they love. It can be a safe haven - a place for anyone to feel comfortable in coming forward to talk about their own mental health challenges. Cricket is widely regarded as one of the most mentally-challenging sports. But what about when its people are facing their own mental health challenges away from the field? The Emerald Cricket Club has appointed one of its own long-time players, Caleb Lobbe, as its chaplain for the 2018/19 season. Caleb started playing for the Bombers when he was just eight years old, and is currently involved as a youth pastor at St Luke's church in Cockatoo. He, along with his brothers Tom and (Carlton AFL ruckman) Matt, has his own mental health journey to share - specifically the challenges that Tom has faced along the way. On 17 November, the Emerald Cricket Club will host a mental health awareness night featuring the Lobbe brothers sharing their story. It will be held at 'The Hangar' (the Chandler Reserve social rooms), and entry will cost a gold coin - with all proceeds going to the Movember Foundation.

One of Emerald Cricket Club’s players, Caleb Lobbe, has taken on the role as its chaplain for 2018/19. "I just started thinking about what we could do at the club to make it a better place, moving forward," said Bombers seamer, and club president Clinton Marsh. "I just thought we needed to have a look at what we could offer our players - more than just a place to play cricket. "Sometimes you don't feel like leaving the house or seeing people. When you talk to Caleb he's great - he's really calm, and he's a genuinely good person.

"He broached the subject to me in the preseason, and I just thought what a great idea (appointing a chaplain) - let's run with it. "It just grew momentum, and it's something where we can make the club a more rounded place, a better place." Though Caleb is involved with St Luke's, his role at the cricket club isn't about religion - it's about offering a friendly, non-judgemental ear to listen. "That's the thing about sporting clubs in small towns," Clinton said. "They're almost the lifeblood of some communities. "People just want to help, but sometimes you just ask yourself 'what do I say?'. It's hard to find the right words. "But the more you talk about it, the more you might recognise those signs to look for (when people are struggling)." Caleb said his role with the Bombers was a kind of extension of the pastoral work he does locally. "It's as simple as having a presence and being around at the club, and creating an environment where any player or their family member can come forward and I'll be there to listen and help guide them," he said. "The main idea is to start the conversation - to create awareness that people struggle with mental health challenges, but that's ok. It's

about reducing the stigma, and creating an environment where it's clear it's ok not to be ok. "My brother's story is one of great resilience - he's been able to overcome significant challenges with the help of his family, community, and even the cricket club. "We want to continue to build an environment where people of all ages can feel free to be themselves - and feel that strong sense of community. "It's very early on in my role at the club, but so far I've had some great conversation with people already and generally the response from my team mates and public has been really positive. "It's really an important thing for people to know that if they're struggling there's a safe place they can go to." Caleb has made it clear that regardless of anyone's personal beliefs or backgrounds, he's there to listen. He's mental health first aid trained, and in coming weeks he'll be looking to secure his accreditation with Sports Chaplaincy Australia. Next month's mental health awareness event at the Emerald Cricket Club, which will be alcohol-free, is open to everyone and begins at 7pm. Anyone with inquiries can call Caleb Lobbe on 0457 265 218, or Clinton Marsh on 0433 332 270.

Griffins over the Tigers - it’s the Storey of the round By Richard Millott Lachlan Storey guided Ferntree Gully Footballers to victory over Upwey in T20 format. Storey's 85 not out formed the back bone of the Griffins' 2/155, with Upwey serviced by Jordan Whetstone with 32 during the Tigers' chase. However, Ben Sidhu stopped the momentum with 4/17 to keep Upwey to 9/125. Johnson Park defeated Eildon Park in dramatic circumstances, with the match being decided in a Super Over after the teams could not be split. Batting first, the Panthers scored 9/133 with David Smyth scoring a 26-ball 41. Steve Devenish was at his best with the ball, producing 3/16. In reply, the Sharks controlled the chase be-

fore a series of run-outs - including one on the last ball - had the home team on 8/133. In the Super Over, Johnson Park claimed two scalps to have Eildon Park 2/5, with the Sharks claiming the points being 0/9 off five balls. Knoxfield returned to the winners' list after accounting for Ferntree Gully at Wally Tew Reserve. Zac Wilson was the mainstay for the Knights, being 45 not out at the conclusion of Knoxfield's 5/121. In response, the Blues were 3/14 trying to play aggressively at the total, before five run-outs in the middle order sealed the match for the visitors, the Blues finishing at 9/105. Knox Gardens remain in the top half of proceedings after registering a win over Upper Ferntree Gully.

Monbulk’s sandy struggle By Eric Markham The Monbulk Bowls Club’s first team travelled to Healesville on Saturday to tackle the fourthplaced side. Healesville has a slow sand-filled synthetic green and this proved difficult for most of the Monbulk rinks. Brian Smith was down zero to eight after three ends. Richard Cookson was down two to nine after four ends and Eric Markham was down seven to 14 after six ends. The only shining light was Andrew Bells’ rink, which led 10 to two after six ends. Healesville maintained a lead for most of the day and at the completion of the 15th end led by 19 shots. This is when everything changed and Monbulk got on a roll. They picked up two, fives and suddenly things became tight. Monbulk thrived in this situation and hardly lost an end across the rinks to record an excellent win by 16 shots, 94 to 78. Andrew Bells’ rink won by 14 shots, 28 to 14. Richard Cookson’s rink won by nine shots, Brian Smith’s won by three, and Eric Markham’s rink went down by 10 shots. Monbulk 3 played at Mount Waverley on grass and recorded a significant win by 28 shots, 53 to 25. Peter Hiscoxs’ rink won by 21 shots, 31 to 10, and Doug Elliot’s rink had a win by seven shots, 22 to 15. On Tuesday, Monbulk 1 were able to mainmailcommunity.com.au

tain their unbeaten run and position on the top of the ladder by accounting for Warburton by 18 shots, 72 to 54. Eric Markham’s rink won by nine shots, 25 to 16. Richard Cookson’s rink won by seven shots and Andrew Bell’s by two. Monbulk 2 travelled to Heatherdale and found the going tough, losing by 20 shots, 50 to 70. Dick Coppin’s rink came back to earth after their record-breaking win the week, losing by 16 shots. Everitt Hargreaves went down by eight shots, while Peter Francis’ rink flew the flag winning by four shots, 24 to 20. Monbulk 3 had a resounding win at home against Vermont South by 39 shots. Eric Furby’s rink won by 20 shots, 26 to six. Barry Adshead’s rink won by three shots and Ron Bishop, in his first time as skip, showed the way in his team’s win by 16 shots, 28 to 12. On Thursday 15 November, Night Owls bowls will start for the current season. It begins at 7.30pm, the dress code is casual, and bowls can be provided. Players of all abilities are encouraged to attend. It is a great way to have fun and enjoy the game of bowls. Single players or teams can be accommodated. Ring the club or Dick on 0437952368 to play, or sign up in the foyer.

Mitch (62) and Josh Gregory (56) combined to take the Falcons to 2/171 from their 20 overs, before Dane Vernon took 4/17 to keep the Kings to 94. The Basin stays on top of the ladder following its win over Belgrave to remain undefeated. Blake Walter (46) and Josh Robertson (50*) ensured the Huntsmen had a solid base to take them to 6/186, before early dismissals of Aaron Brunner and Johnathon Levell saw the visitors keep the Magpies to 7/87. In Decoite Shield, Monbulk gave Lysterfield their first defeat of the season, with the Hawks on top. Lysterfield set 8/104 as a target, with Nathan Hicks (30) and Anthony Brolic (33*) the contributors. Monbulk chased down the target 5/106 in the final over to claim the points. St Johns Tecoma enjoyed an away win against Olinda.

Setting 8/164 despite Peter Dean's 3/26, the Saints were too good in a team effort to keep Olinda to 9/118, Tim Scott with 34 for the home team. South Belgrave defeated Mountain Gate at South Belgrave, with Jordan McDermott (41) and Daniel Cormack (34) helping South to 6/133. The Gators looked to keep with the required rate, however were unable to in the end finishing at 8/115. Knox Gardens chased down Rowville. Darren Hill scored 67 as part of the Hawks 7/151, before an effort from Brett Morrison (39) lead the way for the Falcons to chase the total to 6/152 to claim the points.

Healesville chalks up a win By Chris Anderson Despite a weekend dominated by talk of horse racing, cricketers still got an opportunity to strut their stuff across the Yarra Valley. With playing numbers at a premium, most clubs were able to fill their quota, while the junior competition was adjusted to see some exciting mid-week night matches to spice things up for the Yarra Valley’s youngest cricketers. Reigning premiers Mount Evelyn produced another top performance in their complete dominance over Yarra Junction. The Mounters won the toss and elected to bat. With the Yarra Junction oval playing fairly slow, the visitors would have to work hard for every run. Jesse Fraser and John O’Donnell had established a reasonable platform, but when Brad Nightingale (2/54) teamed with Nick Bark (3/33) things quickly turned for the Eagles as they reduced Mount Evelyn to 4/61. Kevin Bomford joined the party to dismiss Gareth Fraser, and the Mount Evelyn middle to lower order were exposed for the first time this season as the innings sat on the edge at 5/81. With experience coming to the fore, Brad and Luke Jones combined to produce an 84-run partnership that effectively ended the game. Brad was the aggressor of the two, dominating the bowling for an impressive 68 runs, while Luke patiently accumulated at the other end. The partnership led the visitors to signifi-

cant total over 6/191, which would prove difficult to chase at any ground, let alone Yarra Junction’s. Despite a spritely start, the challenge of the chase was going to prove difficult for the Eagles. Darcy Fraser relished his opportunity with the new ball as his figures of 3/29 off 10 straight overs led the Mount Evelyn bowling unit. The batsmen continually showed grit, particularly Matt Mallick (34) who was the mainstay of the innings, but it was in forlorn hope. Chad Witherdin (3/22) took over from Fraser and controlled the back end of the innings. Veterans Glen Thompson and Terry Ottrey battled on to ensure their team would not be bundled out, but in the end it was a comprehensive 75 run victory to Mount Evelyn as the Eagles could only muster 8/116.

Hawks play

Schools’ success at championships

By Tom Watson

By Jamie Strudley A sometimes warm, sometimes cold, often windy Lakeside Stadium was the venue for three days of track and field action for the 2017 Victorian All schools Championships. An event that brings together athletes from schools throughout Victoria - and this year a team from Malaysia - produces some of the closest and vigorous competition school athletes are likely to encounter. Yarra Ranges Athletics had 18 athletes competing over the three days, earning a total of two gold, five silver, and three bronze medals and countless personal bests. It was particularly encouraging to see how many personal bests were recorded during the championships, a sign that athletes are putting in the extra efforts required at a state championship. Results are: Under-14 Girls - Ashleigh Rooke 100 19th 14.14, Ashleigh Rooke 200 17th 29.90, Kiara Flavel 400 2nd 59.99, Kiara Flavel 800 1st 2.16.81, Maddie Laven 1500 2nd 4.50.68, Sarah Ebbels Hammer 4th 25.15m, Amy Pearce High Jump 15th 1.30m Under-15 Girls - Jemima Wilson 1500 7th 5.19.73, Maddie Laven 3000 5th 10.27.16, Mia Strudley 2000ST 5th 8.02.64 Under-16 Girls - Olivia De Vincentis 800 12th 2.34.00 Under-17 Girls - Georgia Laven 800 2nd 2.17.77, Georgia Laven 1500 1st 4.43.44, Zoe Sibley 3000 8th 11.00.00 Under-18 Girls - Grace Muller 3000 3rd 10.55.78, Ashlinn Walker Long Jump 9th 4.37m, Ashlinn Walker Triple Jump 6th 9.63m

Max Savill-Bentley takes time off study for Year 12 exams to win a silver medal in Under-20 5000 metres.

A modified program provided opportunities to compete in some events for the first time this season and finish in time to enjoy a barbecue dinner.

On Saturday 17 November, many athletes will be representing the club at the Eastern Metropolitan Region track relay championships, while Yarra Ranges hosts a round of AV shield at its Morrison Reserve venue. It's a perfect opportunity for club athletes to see what all the fun of shield is like or to watch some fantastic athletics competition. The club could also use as many helpers as possible in the canteen and on the barbecue to help raise funds for the club. Next weekend, the little athletics competition returns to Saturday morning while seniors compete in round five of AV shield at Knox. It's not too late to get involved in Little Athletics or the senior competition with Athsvic. Email join@yarrarangesathletics.org.au.

In honor of the Melbourne Cup Day weekend, a round of T20s were played in the ones and twos. In the ones, Monbulk travelled to Lysterfied in a top-of-the-table clash that always produces a good game. Losing the toss again, Monbulk tried to take the pace off the ball early, with Lysterfield taking control to be 34 before the fall of the first wicket. Steady wickets were the key to limiting the Beavers’ total. Duncan Maher then proceeded to mop up 3/10 with some sharp bowling to limit the total to 8/104. Monbulk opened up with the experience of Jason Fraser and Captain Cosstick, who put on a run a ball 14 before Fraser departed. Braden Taeuber then pushed the score along nicely to 59 before Braden was run out for 22. Cosstick then edged behind off a spinner to make things a little interesting before Monbulk eventually won with several balls remaining. The win pushed the ones into equal first position, with Lysterfield with a two-dayer against Rowville at home. Monbulk’s twos put in a strong performance with the bat to set Knox Boronia Churches 131 from their 20 overs. Skipper Martin was again in the runs with 71 off just 41 balls, with the ball regularly being retrieved from the arboretum across from Dobsons Reserve. With the ball, Josh Spencer took 2/28 and several other bowlers all picked up a wicket. But with 22 extras it was always going to be tight and so it was with five to defend and Marto with the pill. The first five balls went for two runs and contained two wickets. With three to tie, things went awry and KBC were able to slap away a four to claim the win. Next week sees the twos travel away to challenge Rowville. A full weekend of games awaits Monbulk’s Junior Hawks, with both Friday night and Saturday morning teams resuming their seasons.

New penalties to hit hard Dangerous drivers and those who employ them are facing tough new penalties. From Thursday 1 November, anyone caught exceeding the speed limit by 25 kilometres an hour or more, but less than 35km/h, will lose their licence for three months. The same penalty will apply for anyone who exceeds the speed limit by 20km/h or more but less than 25 km/h in a 110 km/h zone. Previously motorists caught for those speeding offences would lose their licence for one month. Demerit points will no longer be accrued for all excessive speed offences. VicRoads' road access and user vehicle ac-

cess director, Roger Chao, said a recent research study revealed licence suspensions were the key to deterring higher level speeding offences. "The study examined how speeding drivers responded to various penalties including licence suspensions, demerit points, good behaviour bonds and vehicle impoundments," he said. "There was strong evidence that licence suspension for higher level speeding offences lower the likelihood of repeat offences and these drivers being involved in a casualty crash." The TAC's road safety lead director, Samantha Cockfield, said speed was one of the big-

gest factors in deaths and serious injuries on Victorian roads. "The fact that speed continues to play a part in about one third of Victorian deaths and injuries shows there is still work to be done to get motorists to slow down," she said. "Tougher penalties, alongside enforcement and education, is proven to be the best approach to tackling speeding on Victorian roads." Other changes to come into effect on 1 November include: Increasing the maximum penalty for unlicensed driving to a $9500 fine or six months in jail, up from a $3950 fine or three months in jail.

· There'll be one maximum penalty for driving

· ·

while disqualified, regardless of whether it's a first or subsequent offence. The new penalties will be a $38,000 fine or two years in jail, up from a $4700 fine or four months jail for first offence. A new offence will see a person who knowingly allows an unlicensed driver to drive facing a maximum $9500 fine or six months jail. The penalty for the new offence of employing someone to drive who is unlicensed will be a maximum $3160 fine for individuals or $15,800 fine for body corporates.

Supra makes a comeback cornering forces and response to accelerator pedal operation. The new Supra's wheelbase is shorter than the compact Toyota 86 sports car and the centre of gravity is even lower than for its acclaimed sibling. The short wheelbase is combined with a wide track, resulting in a highly desirable "golden ratio" of less than 1.6:1 - better than most two-seat sports cars. Its aluminium and steel composite frame will have body rigidity close to the carbon-fibre based LFA super car, enabling the engineering team to specify high-performance suspension components. Chief engineer Tetsuya Tada said his goal was to develop a car that would reward drivers with sharp steering and high cornering performance. The suspension system delivers tailormade damping forces based on road conditions and driver input, combatting understeer at high lateral G-forces. An electronically-controlled active differential with a high reduction gear distributes up to 100 per cent of the available torque to either rear wheel. The transmission was chosen for its shift speed and direct feel as well as for maximising torque converter characteristics for powerful take-off acceleration.

Performance braking with high thermal capacity is achieved with Brembo four-pot callipers, large-diameter discs and an optimised brake booster to provide state-of-the-art pedal feeling. The Supra legend started in 1978 with what was essentially a Celica with a six-cylinder engine. By 1987, the Supra was no longer part of the Celica range and was equipped with a 3.0-litre turbo engine, upgraded to twin turbo in 1993.

Toyota Australia confirmed that a new Supra would be sold in Australia from the third quarter of next year. Toyota announced on 19 September that the fifth-generation Supra, also known as the A90, would embrace the car's sports-car heritage and boast front-engine/rear-wheel-drive architecture and a turbocharged in-line sixcylinder 3.0-litre engine. Boosted by a twin-scroll turbocharger, highly precise direct fuel-injection and variable valve control, engine outputs will be more than 220kW and 450Nm with a projected 0-100 km/h time of well under five seconds. It will have an extremely short wheelbase, low centre of gravity, high body rigidity and ideal 50-50 weight distribution. Supra will be the first vehicle sold in Australia to carry Toyota GAZOO Racing (TGR) branding, the global company's new performance sub-brand. Toyota Australia sales and marketing vice president Sean Hanley said Supra pointed to a new-generation of driver-focused vehicles that would offer dynamic styling and faithful handling, even at the limits of performance. Manufacturer Magna Steyr will build the Supra in Graz, Austria. Toyota's intensive development of the two-seat coupe has focused single-mindedly on pure driving pleasure with meticulous drivetrain tuning to ensure precise control of
