Our Anzac links By Michael Doran Healesville Library has mounted a Remembrance Exhibition, curated from the personal collection of local resident, Rod Wilson. With the centenary of the end of World War 1 in mind, the exhibition is focussed on the bonds forged between the Australian and New Zealand forces. Mr Wilson said "Here we often forget about the kiwi side of Gallipoli and over there the focus is rightly on their soldiers." "It was on the battlefields of Gallipoli that today's close friendship between aussies and kiwis first began." The exhibition contains many items related to the legacy of the war and how returning service people were commemorated. For example, there is a book produced by the Education Department that contains the war service record and photo of all the teachers and departmental personnel who served in WWI. There are grave cards, which were sent to the families of those killed. These cards contain details of where their relative is buried, details of their death and a photo of the grave. "This was the only way families could grieve," Mr. Wilson said. "Australia was a nation swamped with grief and people had no way of visiting the graves, that's why these cards mattered." He also has on display what became known as the 'dead man's penny', a circular plaque sent to families of the deceased along with the war medals of their relation. There are original items from both sides of the conscription issue and the yes or no referendums that caused so much bitterness in 1916 and 1917. The exhibition also looks at the transition from war to peacetime and how the nation came to terms with what it had been through. He recalled how William Dunstan, of Ballarat, was on a tram when a woman handed him a white feather, as a sign of cowardice, and berated him for not having the courage to serve his country. Little did she know that Dunstan was

Healesville Library has a Remembrance exhibition of WW1 items from Rod Wilson.187122 awarded the Victoria Cross in 1915 for gallantry at Lone Pine, badly wounded and repatriated to Australia, all before his 21st birthday. This symbolised the legacy of bitterness the war left on those on either side of the debate around Australia's involvement.

YARRA RANGES

Rod Wilson developed his passion for collecting these items as a 10 year old, his interest piqued from talking to his grandfather, a WWI veteran. He now regularly provides items to the Melbourne Shrine of Remembrance, an association that started more than 20 years ago. He

has previously provided exhibitions in Healesville Library and at other locations in the Yarra Valley. The exhibition runs for the month of November and is a great place to visit for anyone wishing to go a little deeper into what ended, so far from our shores, 100 years ago.

FunFlight takes off from Lilydale club By Michael Doran Lilydale Flying Club once again brightened the lives of families dealing with life's challenges in the 11th Annual FunFlight Day on 28 October. This year around 1,700 people across Australia took to the skies on a FunFlight. Since launching in 2007 close to 12,000 people have been up in the air thanks to the project. FunFlight was conceived when founder, Michel Verheem, had the idea to do something special for sick and disadvantaged children. He told Michael Loccisano, now a fellow director, about his idea and the special day has grown from there. The first flight was set up as a one-off event with 15 aircraft doing joy-flights from Moorabbin Airport down to Tyabb and return. "We had more than 200 come along, from organisations like the Starlight Foundation, Heart Kids and Cancer Kids," said Mr. Loccisano, who is also an Angel Flight volunteer pilot. "It was such a success we both wanted to do more and that's why we formed FunFlight," he said. "Everything is done by volunteers and we could get more flights happening if we had more resources. FunFlight provides the fuel but all the aircraft, pilots and food comes from the aero clubs themselves." "We are very fortunate that we were given a bequest that allows us to pay for the fuel, which is close to $50,000 this year." "No one in FunFlight gets paid; everything is done on a volunteer basis. We have expanded our Board of Directors and will be looking

It’s Lilydale by the book A new book and display are sharing the history of Lilydale’s public places. Yarra Ranges Council commissioned the Lilydale and District Historical Society to carry out research late last year as part of its Place Plan for Lilydale. Nine society members compiled the first detailed history of the township’s open spaces, including how they developed and have been used. The society launched the 56-page book Lilydale’s Public Places Public Lives 1860s to 1970s on 6 October. It covers the Main Street, Melba Park, Olinda Creek, Lilydale Recreation Reserve, the Market Reserve, Lillydale Lake and the avenue of trees. They hosted celebrations, sporting events and disasters. Significant buildings such as the town’s hotels, the railway station and Cave Hill all played a part in creating the Lilydale of today. The nine researchers were Christine Armstrong, John Brown, Ray Dodson, Jeanette Dodson, Joy Gothe, Kristyn Jackson, Judy Macdonald, Jo Pritchard, Florence Shaw, Sue Thompson and Marg Tull. The book is available for $25. The Lilydale and District Historical Society and the display are at the Old Lilydale Court House, 61 Castella Street, Lilydale.

"As pilots we love the experience of being in the air and we want to share that with kids who may never have been in an airplane. These kids, and their families, are facing adversity every day so we want them to forget about that for today and just have some fun." Lilydale Flying Club had a variety of aircraft in the air heading toward Eildon, Macedon or out to Port Phillip Bay and Melbourne.

The club also organised face-painting, a hairdresser, barbecue and drinks for everyone, all provided by volunteers and club members. Club member Tony Collett said, "Today is a day where families who are dealing with challenges get to share a fun time together and some excitement for the day. All the club members love being a part of the FunFlight program and doing what we can for the kids."

IN BRIEF

Balloon safety call Passengers in a hot-air balloon that crashed in Dixons Creek in February did not receive a proper safety briefing, a report found. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) released its report into the 8 February "hard landing" in Bleases Lane on Tuesday 30 October. Ambulance Victoria at the time reported abdominal, back, neck and ankle injuries to patients aged between their twenties and seventies. The ATSB said the Go Wild Ballooning Kavanagh B-350 hot-air balloon departed Glenburn for a scenic charter flight with a pilot and 15 passengers on board. About 45 minutes into the flight the balloon experienced a sudden wind change and the pilot decided to land immediately, rather than continue over rising and heavily-vegetated terrain. "The resulting landing was hard and fast and 11 passengers were injured, with four of them receiving serious injuries," the report said. The ATSB said some passengers received a safety briefing prior to boarding but "the operator's normal safety briefing for passengers post-boarding was not conducted". "The briefing prior to boarding was not effective in ensuring all passengers understood the required landing position to use in the event of an emergency landing," it said. The ATSB identified a safety issue with the operator's risk controls for ensuring safety briefings were conducted, and that passengers understood the briefing and the availability and content of its safety information cards. The report also found that information

about the sudden wind change was not available to the pilot prior to the flight. The most recent local balloon forecast was inadvertently not publicly available, and other forecast information available to the pilot did not accurately state the wind change's timing. The ATSB identified a safety issue with the Bureau of Meteorology procedure to confirm the local weather forecast for balloon operators in the Melbourne area was available. The Bureau of Meteorology has since commissioned a new system and modified its procedures for providing local weather briefings to balloon operators in the Melbourne area. "The operator has implemented a procedure that all passengers are required to demonstrate the landing position after boarding the aircraft," the report said. "Proper preparation for landing is shown to reduce the likelihood and severity of injury, and operators should ensure that passengers understand the instructions provided. "It is recommended that all passengers should board the basket and practice the position they should adopt for landing. "This allows the operator to determine any misunderstanding prior to flight. "It is also recommended that safety information cards, with diagrams, be readily available to help communicate important safety information, particularly to people from a non-English speaking background." The ATSB said the operator had also implemented procedures for all pilots to share wind and weather conditions and conduct more regular checks of nearby aerodrome weather information.

Yarra Valley Racing will receive $103,000 from the State Government as part of total investments of more than $250,000, Racing Minister Martin Pakula announced on 25 October. “The government is investing in infrastructure upgrades and racing days across Victoria because the racing industry in regional Victoria provides an enormous boost to local economies, and provides hundreds of local jobs,” he said. Yarra Valley Racing chairman David Long said that getting people to the races relied as much on entertainment as the actual racing. “These days people demand more than just watching races, we have to make it a pleasant experience to get them here and get them to come back again,” he said. “Otherwise they can just sit at home and watch the races on the TV. “We have never been in a better position attendances are up, track improvements are first-class and the support from Country Racing Victoria and Harness Racing Victoria with race dates like the Melbourne Cup, Cox Plate

and Derby Day is huge. “Better facilities and visitor experience means we can employ more than 200 local people here on race days. “That’s something we are all very proud of.” These funds are coming out of the Victorian Racing Industry Fund, as part of a $155,000 joint funding package, to which Country Racing Victoria has also contributed. The funding includes $48,000 to replace the former TAB building, topped up with $24,000 each from Yarra Valley Racing and Racing Victoria. The government is also providing more than $29,000 to support a harness racing social club package and more than $26,000 to support a Christmas race day. In a nod to Seinfield fans, Mr Pakula announced the ‘Festivus for the Rest of Us’ Christmas race meeting on 21 December, which is part of the government’s funding support. On the day, patrons can enjoy New Yorkstyle food trucks, live music and a $50 discount to the first 500 to attend. Yarra Valley Racing CEO Brett Shambrook

said: “We’re grateful for the funding we’ve received from the Victorian Government supporting our social club package, Christmas race day and to revamp the facilities at Yarra Valley Racecourse.” In other local racing news, on 1 November Liberal Eildon incumbent Cindy McLeish announced grassroots country racing clubs would get a fairer share of $33 million fund in industry funding under a Liberal Nationals Government. Ms McLeish said local clubs including Healesville were among more than 20 thoroughbred racing clubs in country communities to miss out under Labor’s fund for Victoria’s racing industry. “Thriving country racing clubs support local economies across country Victoria,” she said. “Our plan to give country racing clubs their fair share will help boost prize money at local races and attract more trainers and owners to races in regional Victoria.”

Four candidates have so far put their hands up to represent the Eildon electorate ahead of the State Election. The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) officially started accepting nominations from aspiring parliamentary representatives on 31 October, in the lead-up to the polls on 24 November. "Prospective candidates for registered political parties have until 8 November to register and independent candidates have until 9 November," Murrindindi Shire Council Mayor Sandice McAulay said. "In the meantime, Council and UGFM have teamed up to invite the four declared candidates to public meetings so they can answer your questions and talk about what they plan to do if elected." Labor candidate Sally Brennan, Greens candidate Ken Deacon, Independent candidate Michelle Dunscombe and Liberal candidate Cindy McLeish will be at Alexandra Shire Hall on 13 November and Ellimatta Youth in Kinglake on 20 November to meet the community. "If you can't make it along to one of the events, UGFM will be broadcasting the sessions live across the Shire," Ms McAulay said. "Listeners are encouraged to get involved from home via www.slido.com, where you can post questions to candidates live or in advance of the sessions.

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.

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."

From my

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 fortnightly 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.

IN BRIEF Art from the heart

Owning the plan a really sore point. At last it seems something is happening next year but three years is just too long." The plan was presented to Yarra Ranges council in July where it was formally acknowledged by council, an important step when future grants are applied for. "We have a really good working relationship with the council," Ms. Pozzi said. "Jess Adams from the council has guided us through the development of the plan and she comes to all our meetings and keeps us on track." "We found out that the council had a program to help communities get a plan together so we contacted them in 2016."

Healesville Primary School turned into a place for spooks, vampires, zombies and sprites on 31 October. The Haunted House was the star attraction of the recent fete and it was open again today as part of the day's Halloween festivities. There was a long, snaking line of all sorts of characters queuing up to storm the den, but with only six getting in at a time there might be a bit of detention needed to satisfy everybody. "The Haunted House was part of the school fete and was created by our art teacher, Fenna Hogg and Kathryn Mellody. It was a big part of a very good fundraising day and it took countless hours for Fenna and Kathryn to create it," said Simone King from the school. Year 5/6 teacher, Ashley Dent, braved the fearsome den and said, "It was creepy, kids in tunnels, cobwebs, spiders, people grabbing you and false exits," she said.

In 2016 a group of Badger Creek residents were talking about how to get their community more connected and what needed to be done in the area. After two years of consultations, meetings, events and surveys the group has produced the Badger Creek Community Plan 2018-2021. At the launch of the plan on 19 October at Badger Creek Primary School's Fete, committee chair, Doris Pozzi said that the plan sets out a three year program for the community to focus on. "We have worked for two years to find out what people did and didn't like about living

here and what they wanted to see done. The plan sets out the action steps and the priorities for us to work on." "Even at this early stage the council has already re-prioritised some infrastructure works to match what the community sees as important. The Roma Street playground was set for work in five years but it is now been moved to happen in 2019." "The terrible state of Badger Weir Park is a hot topic with residents and one of the main issues was the lack of communication from Parks Victoria about what was happening." "People here are extremely passionate about that park and not being able to use it is

Artists from the Yarra Ranges and beyond can pitch for cash for Black Saturday bushfire-related projects. The State Government's 2009 Bushfires Community Arts Grants Program is open for applications. Regional Arts Victoria is distributing up to $8000 for each of the 21 municipalities the bushfires directly affected. Yarra Ranges Mayor Len Cox encouraged local artists and groups to think about the impact the fires had on their community and to make an application. "Black Saturday was one of the most devastating events to occur in the Yarra Ranges and around the state," he said. "In many ways, it has shaped our lives and the way council works in the last nine years." Cr Cox said the State Government announced funding for Black Saturday commemorative events, memorial restoration or community development activities earlier this year. "This round of funding is about helping artists to create work that reflects the experience of their community," he said. "It would be great to see our vibrant and diverse artistic community use this opportunity to tell the stories of the Yarra Ranges' experience, 10 years on. "I would also encourage our artists to look at other grants funding to help secure their project, such as council's monthly small grants program." Individuals applying for funding must have an ABN or an auspice organisation to manage their grant. Grants will be assessed at multiple dates between the funding round's opening on Monday 22 October and 31 January. "This means the $8000 for each municipality may be allocated before the closing date," Cr Cox said.

LETTERS Intrusion fears The Rivers and Ridges Project announcement in the Mail, in the 30 October edition, has lifted the lid on the enormous size of this Liberal Party business project. What remains a mystery is why the Shire of Yarra Ranges would be fronting a project that could badly impact many of its ratepayers. Anyone who is close to a river or is close to

ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NONE OF OUR BUSINESS BUTâ&#x20AC;Ś the forest could be in the firing-line. Crowds of tourists, horrendous traffic and loss of privacy, are on the horizon. River and forest locations are sought-after and highly valued by their owners. Often these owners have paid top dollar and don't want their domain wrecked, intruded upon or de-valued. And they don't want to be forced to move. Now the Liberals and our council have

come up with a scheme that will flood our tranquil domains with 750,000 visitors. The Liberals seem hell-bent on trying to move "big business" into state-owned forests and river reserves. If you wish to protect your assets and lifestyle I suggest you make your views known. Shane Crowley, Warburton

What's in a name? Quiz time. Which State Government minister's name is engraved on two official naming plaques even though they were nowhere to be seen at the openings? For a bonus point, name the two other politicians who actually did the openings but remain nameless on the plaques?

Flags didn't add up

Some simple arithmetic was needed in Warburton recently. At the well-orchestrated opening of the new police station, the Australian, Aboriginal and Victorian flags were presented by dignitaries but when it came time for them to be unfurled there were only two flagpoles. The Victorian flag is likely to stay in pristine condition for a very long time.

Snakes alive A Millgrove man contacted the Mail after spotting a snake in the grass on his 85 acre property. "I almost stood on one a couple of weeks ago," he said. "In the last five years before that I'd only seen two snakes. I'm out a lot."

We asked our Facebook followers what their experience had been with the NDIS, a year after it first rolled out in the Yarra Ranges. Several responses commenting on the NBN - National Broadband Network - instead of the National Disability Insurance Scheme prompted one commenter to lament: "The fact that many people don't know what it is shows that the engagement of the general public part really has not occurred at all." We'll bring you more on the local experience with the NDIS shortly.

DECLARATION

Peace’s 100 years By Michael Doran 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 on a dance floor," she said. 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. Dancing is the best exercise anyone can get." With two children, 7 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, there are plenty of people around to help her blow out those 100 candles. "I even invented my own name," she said. "For the grandchildren I was nana but when the great grandchildren came I changed it to granna, because Helen is now nana." "Not bad for an old duck," she quipped.

Remembrance Day plans By Michael Doran RSL sub-branches throughout the Yarra Valley 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 No-

vember 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." Details of the Remembrance Day services are as follows: Healesville Service at Healesville RSL Memorial com-

Sharing century-old memories of our Anzac heroes 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.

MATERNITY PUSH "But what if something goes wrong?" is a question we've heard a lot during our Maternity Push campaign, because Healesville Hospital doesn't have an emergency department. So editor Casey Neill spoke to two mums about their experiences to shed some light on this concern. We'll continue to run stories on the issue in the lead-up to the 24 November State Election, aiding the Save Healesville Hospital Action Group push for maternity services to return to Healesville.

Confidence is key Naomi Taylor knew her birthing experience at Healesville Hospital would be a very personal one - and very basic. "At Healesville it was always very clear: if in doubt they would not proceed," she said. "They know their capabilities. "That's why we had confidence in them with every decision. "It was always really reiterated at every kind of check. "They're very up-front about what your options are." There was no anaesthetist on staff, an epidural wasn't an option - and they'd put her in an ambulance in an emergency situation. When I was there they told me they basically had one every three years that they had to airlift," Ms Taylor said. "At Healesville you go in knowing it's basic. "It's what you need." She had her first child at Knox Private under an obstetrician. "All my appointments had been at the private obstetrician," she said. "I didn't know which door to go in. "I'd only been there for one prenatal class. "By the time I had them at Healesville I knew every midwife because I'd had my appointments there. "They knew who everyone was, whereas I think the bigger the hospital the harder it is to get that kind of attention."

She had her second and third children at Healesville, in 2008 and 2010. "We had midwifery care," she said. "Every birth's different but my obstetrician said with my first that my body was really efficient at having a baby. "I had no drugs with my first because it was so quick. "We got to the hospital and it was like 'push' and he was born. "When I had my second we went 'well, the obstetrician wasn't there anyway, the midwives delivered our first' and we knew the chances were that I'd have a pretty good birth again. "I did consider going a birthing suite at the Angliss, or a home birth.

"In the end, Healesville felt like a good compromise. "It was a personal experience but in a medical environment. Ms Taylor's second child had "a more traditional birth". "He was six hours of actual labour," she said. "I remember with our third, she was another quick one - she was an hour. "I'd been at the hospital for a 3pm checkup. I left at 4pm. "I had two contractions between Healesville and Wandin, went back and had her at 5pm." At the appointment she'd joked with the midwife that she was the one who'd delivered their son and it'd be great if she could deliver their daughter. "She said 'well you better hurry, because I knock off at six'," she laughed. "The way that my kids were born, I would have had at least two of them in the car. "Even up here you're not guaranteed an ambulance super-fast. "The valley is growing so much. "We're putting more and more people here, but we don't even have a hospital in the Yarra Ranges. "I don't know what the solution is "Healesville's the easy go-to because it's done it before."

Unplanned Alexandra Barton-Johnson's birth didn't go as planned. "Being 40 for my first baby, Healesville considered whether to have me or not because I was considered high-risk, and they said that they would," she said. "It's very stressful for a mum to know that she has to travel such a long way to even start the birthing process. "Having it half an hour away eased my anxiety greatly." The Millgrove mum said the proviso was they could only give her a natural birth and if any intervention was required she'd have to go to Box Hill. "McEwan was upside down and back to front and I only made it to eight centimetres in dilation and I was not getting to the 10," she said. "At the 26-hour mark, having been in labour, sitting on a yoga bounce ball, sitting in the hallway with my arms on the rails squatting ... they put a monitor inside my womb to monitor what was happening to McEwan whilst I was having contractions. "At the top of my contractions McEwan's heartbeat was failing. "They said 'we need to take you to Box Hill. You're going to have an emergency caesarean'." Alexandra took a non-emergency ride in an ambulance and it was "spectacular". "I had four contractions and two naps," she said. "I had a midwife holding my hand the whole way down." At Box Hill, they tried using forceps before administering an epidural and performing an emergency caesarean. McEwan was born at 7.22pm on 14 August 2008. "I think I was in Box Hill for three days recovering," she said. "Then I was allowed to drive back to Healesville to learn how to be a mum."

Support for our tourism

Seville friends Fran Snowdon and Glenys Hopes decided to do something for their community in 2015, and started making fiddle rugs. “I started knitting a blanket for my granddaughter who is living with multiple disabilities,” Fran said. “I called it her fiddle rug and the name has stuck since then. “Things like fiddle rugs are used to maintain or teach skills, to calm and distract, soothe frustration or to just keep hands busy. “Sometimes it can be as simple as having something tactile in the pocket to squeeze that prevents a full melt down in an anxiety attack." Sensory or diversion therapy is used for patients living with conditions like dementia, autism, Alzheimer’s, stroke and mental health issues and those in hospitals and nursing homes. Sensory aids come in all shapes and sizes such as fidget cushions, activity mats, memory mats and fiddle rugs. As an example, memory mats are made by attaching ribbons, buttons, zippers, shoe-laces and other items to provide activity for patients. “It gives people something they can hold, twiddle and play with using items they are familiar with,” Fran said. “Often these are things they are losing the ability to use and it gives them a kick when they see they can still do it. “By mid-2018 we reached a very proud milestone of gifting 1000 beautifully-crafted pieces made by women in the Yarra Valley. "Every woman in this group understands how precious and beneficial these hand crafted gifts are.” The fourth Fiddle Rug Exhibition and Giveaway ran at Mont de Lancey in Wandin North from 6 to 21 October, and the group made more than 500 pieces. Most of these were to be gifted at the exhibition, with any remaining going to nursing homes, day care centres and special schools. The group now numbers 20 and meets on Mondays at Seville Community House, which can be contacted on 5964 3987.

Three guest speakers shared advice with Yarra Valley tourism operators at a recent conference. The Tourism Network Yarra Valley (TNYV) held its annual conference in the Sandra Bardas Art Gallery at Worawa Aboriginal College on Wednesday 10 October. Attendees included TNYV members and representatives from Yarra Ranges Council and Yarra Ranges Tourism. Aboriginal elder Aunty Zeta Thomson performed a smoking ceremony and welcome to country. The aim of the conference was to support TNYV members in managing and growing their businesses. The day featured three guest speakers with respective experience in tourism, public relations and social networking. Go Beyond Melbourne marketing manager Alva Hemming spoke about how the organisation showcased to international visitors the different experiences available in four distinct regions easily accessible from Melbourne - the Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges, Phillip Island, The Mornington Peninsula, and Geelong and The Bellarine. Ms Hemming explained how the Yarra Valley sat within the program and the benefits for tourism in the region. Jules Brooke from Handle Your Own PR provided many tips on how small businesses could achieve exposure to potential customers using social media and print or news media. She stressed that public relations need not be expensive, and performing a cost-benefit analysis was important before making any investment in PR. The presentation from Lynette Coulston of iTandCoffee, Facebook for Business, provided a comprehensive set of tips and responses to common questions on using Facebook in a small business environment.

ENTERTAINMENT

Killer Queen movie for all Bohemian Rhapsody Starring Rami Malek Rated M Bohemian Rhapsody, a biopic of rock star Freddie Mercury and the band Queen, is an entertaining and poignant but poorly-structured film. Like Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote or Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln, Malek becomes Freddie Mercury in this film. Malek perfectly captures Freddie's flamboyant, swaggering energy, but also conveys a gentle frailty beneath his thick layers of camp. The song-recording sequences contain amusing collisions of personality between

band members, and the performances are soaringly exciting. The narrative contains several threads of discord, including family disapproval, band dysfunction and Freddie's sexuality and growing ego, but these threads take almost twothirds of the running time to coalesce into any genuine sense of threat or adversity, as the band continues to enjoy their meteoric success. Bohemian Rhapsody's poignant narrative and remarkable lead performance mostly compensate for the slack, unbalanced pacing. - Seth Lukas Hynes

Healesville U3a dress rehearsal. 187098

Following their sell-out show last year, Healesville U3a are returning for a fifth year with a new, original musical comedy production, Pirates to Rock ‘N’ Roll. The musical comedy is a journey from pirates to rock and roll and features many unique performers who will bring their own style in a variety of acts. There will be singing, dancing and acting all rolled into great entertainment and to meet demand an extra show has been added this year. The dialogue was written by Lois Thwaites, who also made the costumes and did choreography. “I just get some random ideas that come into my head, find some words to match and work from there,” she said. “I started on the script about 12 months ago and rehearsals began in February. We have a cast of 30 working with director, Peter Bonney.” Without giving much away she said’ “Its funny, quick witted and a bit risqu¨¦ with cruising

down the Yarra, and a bit of Healesville and Yarra Glen rivalry thrown in. It might remind people of ‘Are you being served’ with some of the humour.” A sneaky peek into rehearsal revealed some ferocious looking pirates, Olivia Newton-John lookalikes and a motley crew of deck hands, all with loud voices. The Healesville group believe there is no other U3a doing this type of performance and say there is a part for anyone who wants to be involved in next year’s show. Lois Thwaites said the production is a total team effort, with performers, actors, singers, dancers and technicians all making the show work. This year there will be two performances at the Healesville Memorial Hall, on 25 November and 1 December, both starting at 2pm. There will be an interval with refreshments available for purchase. Tickets are $10 and are available at the Memorial Hall ticketing office, contact 1300 368 333. mailcommunity.com.au

Tracks are back open

Early education funding boosted By Michael Doran Two pre-schools in the Yarra Valley have been granted close to $300,000 as part of the state governments Inclusive Kindergartens Facilities Program. Yarra Glen Pre School and Cire Children's Centre Yarra Junction will use the grants to increase accessibility and inclusiveness for children and families. Cire Executive Manager, Family and Childrens Services, Diletta Lanciana said the grant will make a big impact on what the centre can offer children of all abilities. "Our centre is on a sloping block in a bushland setting so accessibility is important," she said. "We developed our application with that in mind and are really excited about being successful." "We knew we were not experts in playground design so we did our research of what's available in that field. There is a lot more recognition of engaging with special needs children and new ways of going about that." "With a grant close to $100,000 we can do a lot. We have some wonderful plans that include spaces like a tepee, buddy bench and a cubby house where kids have a space to feel safe and calm in times of stress." Cire Childrens Centre Director, Lysa Smart said "We are looking forward to have children of all abilities playing together. "On our sloping block that has been difficult but with new paths and levels everyone will be able to access all parts of the play-

Some express a concern about accessibility but this funding will take those concerns away." At Yarra Glen Pre School, Educational Leader, Belinda Hudson said they will use the $171,600 grant to make access into and through the school easier. "This will make a massive difference for families and children and be a less confronting time, particularly for those who have feelings of separation anxiety," she said. "Getting all 40 children, their parents, siblings and gear into the school can be a stressful experience, especially for special needs children."

"This is an absolutely exciting opportunity for us and will give us a calmer way to start the day. We also got funding of $10,000 for new equipment to give students more tactile and sensory experiences." "The grants will have a substantial impact on our program and we are hoping to have the work completed by the middle of next year." The state government program is designed to help pre-schools become more accessible and inclusive for children of all abilities. In announcing the grants on 11 October, Jaclyn Symes, member for Northern Victoria said, "Building the Education State starts with the early years and families right across Victoria and here in the Yarra Valley will get to reap the benefits of this funding."

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.

SPORT

Healesville chalks up 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. For Saturday's games, the pick would have to be the close game between Seville and Healesville. With both teams keen to taste victory for the first time this season, a cracking battle of cricket ensued. Seville won the toss and elected to field, and this looked to be a master stroke as Tyson McKenzie (3/22) ripped through the top order to reduce the visitors to 3/9 in quick time. With some strong leadership needed at the crease, Ash Hamer joined Dale Senior and their pair went about rescuing the situation with great effect. Early on, they patiently weathered the storm with a combination of patience from Senior and calculated stroke play from Hamer. The pair managed to navigate their way to 3/66 at drinks to give their team some hope of building a significant total. Upon making a well-deserved half century, Hamer found himself the next man out, bowled by Marcus Smith with the score on 81. This left the innings on a knife's edge as Hamer had provided most of the scoring impetus. Dermott Fry joined Senior at the wicket and despite their young age, the pair has plenty of cricketing experience. A brisk 59-run partnership ensued, and Healesville soon found themselves in a position of strength. Senior increased his scoring rate as the senior partner, and was desperately unlucky not to post a half-century of his own. The score grew consistently at the back end of the innings, and when it was closed, the Bloods had reached a tidy score of 9/159. Not a massive total by all means, but one that would take some chasing. The battle was on from father first ball of Seville's innings. Most of Seville's top order made starts but had trouble converting, and despite the scoreboard ticking over, regular wickets to Fry (2/25) and Josh McKenna (2/20), Seville found themselves in a spot of bother at 5/56 just after the drinks break. Just when Seville was crying for some experienced leadership, Gary Frankovic (35) joined Tom Page (28) at the wicket and the pair turned the game on its ear.

In the space of 10 overs, they had raced the total to 5/125 and victory was all of a sudden a real possibility as the equation sat at 35 runs from the last 10 overs with five wickets still intact. As would be the theme of the day, experience and leadership would prove to be vital. With his team on the brink of slipping away to a disappointing loss, Hamer removed Frankovic and Page in the same over to turn the contest again. Unperturbed, Seville's tail pressed forward toward the total and looked to have seen the contest up with two wickets left in the bank with just six runs for a memorable victory. Enter Tom Dalley. The returning opening bowler produced when it mattered most and with two perfectly executed balls, ending the contest with Seville stuck on 154, five runs short of Healesville's total clinching a fantastic victory. While the Seville/Healesville clash was a tight one, 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 significant 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 comprehen-

sive 75 run victory to Mount Evelyn as the Eagles could only muster 8/116. With the unfortunate demise of Yarra Glen's first eleven team, and their subsequent forfeiture from DJ Strachan Shield, Wandin will be welcomed back to the top flight from next week after nearly a decade of rebuilding after they found themselves in a similar predicament as Yarra Glen now find themselves in. Their first assignment will be against Seville who will be itching to join the winner's circle after some near misses to start the season. This will give the Bulldogs the perfect opportunity to see where they stack up in the big league. Yarra Junction host Healesville in a game that could prove vital for both sides. The winner will create a break on the other, and despite being early in the season, these wins could prove vital to finals calculations. Match of the round, however, would have to be the Grand Final rematch between Mount Evelyn and Warburton-Millgrove. Both teams enter the game undefeated and will be desperate to keep this record intact. Mount Evelyn have been clinical in their three victories thus far and would have to start favourites, but the Burras have shown their ability to respond when challenged and will be a little more match hardened going into the clash.

Burras valiant in defeat - but still went down 61 to 87 By Garry Lewis Warburton 1 travelled all the way to Mentone to play their number one side. On a wide, tricky rink the Burras tried valiantly to keep with them before going down, 61 to 87. Rink scores were as follows: P. Caneva 13/20; S. Lord 11/26; S. Lee-Tet 15/23 and A. Donohue 22/18. Warburton 1 will play Burden Park 1 back at home this week. Warburton 2 played Croydon 3 at home.

The gusty wind troubled both teams. The Burras were behind at the break before coming back strongly towards the end of the second half to record their first victory this season, 84 to 74. Rink scores were B. Hall 23/20; M. Cima 21/17; D. McConachy 21/15 and C. Gell 19/22. It was great to see new and beginning players experience their first victory in the Burras colours. The side will play against Eastwood Golf 1

away this week. New and beginning players are still encouraged to join the small, friendly club. Coaching is available from qualified coaches. The Mid-Week Tuesday Pennant team played Monbulk 1 away and were defeated 54 to 72. Rink scores were as follows: G. Walsh 19/21; R. Zunneberg 16/25 and R. McKail 19/26. The Burras have a bye this week and then play Eastwood Golf 1 at home on 13 November. Social bowls continues on Mondays from

about noon. New and beginning players are most welcome. The Wednesday Night Barefoot Bowls Competition started last Wednesday 31 October. It was great to see the new players being instructed by the more experienced players. Rink scores were as follows: Burra Boys 36 d Dill's Crew 5; Big Al's 15 d Reefton Rockets 6; Nutters 15 d Pensioners 9; Saint Dogs 18 d Moonshiners 8; Shambolics 16 d G. Force 7; Bolters 25 d Dunny Diva's 5; and KTs 31 d Trailer Trash 5.

Aussies win the day against the rest of the world - again By Ron Hottes The Warburton Golf Club's Wednesday 31 October stableford competition was its annual Aussies vs The Rest of the World Challenge, playing for the Nicholl/Slater Trophy. Unlike Australia's national cricket and rugby teams, the Aussie team, under the astute captaincy of Steuart Hawke, comfortably accounted for 'the other mob'. The Aussies' average score was 32.0 points to the ROTW's 30.6. Of course, it did help that the two best scores on the day were recorded by fifth-generation mailcommunity.com.au

Aussies Paul Kennedy and Mick Eldridge. Both scored 43 but PK won the voucher on a tight countback. Balls got down to 33 and few of the other mob collected one. Nearest the pin winners were Stan Sluzarek on the third, Aussie Craig Brown on the ninth and PK on the 17th. In the twilight contest, a balmy warm evening for golf brought out the best in Linda Lay. She snatched top prize on a countback with 22 impressive points. Linda just pipped Steve Patrick's 22 points

so he had to settle for the runner-up prize. The ball rundown extended to 18. Nearest the pins went to Roger Mataele on the 11th, Sam Dennis on the 12th and to Simon Spencely on the 15th. In the Saturday 3 November stableford, young Angus Smith, even having whittling his handicap down to 12, accumulated 37 points. This was good enough to take the A-Grade voucher. The B-Grade winner, with the best score on the day, was Paul Long with 39. Snorks is playing off a too-generous handi-

cap (25) and is a clear favourite to win the CGrade championship this month. Ian Garside was the daily runner-up with 36 solid points. Those who scored 33+ can collect a ball. Nearest the pin winners were Andrew McMath on the third, Senior Kempton on the fifth, guest Dave Hart on the ninth, Peter Fox on the 12th and Martin Garthwaite on the 15th. Andrew Williams scored an eagle on the 10th, showing that he is 'cherry-ripe' for a tilt at another C/Championship. He has won six of them. Tuesday, 6 November, 2018

Soccer boost cash pledge

Schools’ success at championships

A Liberal Nationals Government would provide Yarra Valley Soccer Club with $100,000 to help the club progress design work facility redevelopment. As the only soccer club in the Upper Yarra Valley, it's experiencing increased participation rates as more young families move into the region. The club's facilities have outgrown demand. The funding boost will help the club progress plans for new male and female change rooms and toilets, umpires room, function and canteen facilities.

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,

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.

On a beautiful day for bowling, Healesville 1 played Monbulk's number one side at home on their synthetic green. After leading 52/42 at the break and getting out to a lead of 17 shots, Healesville disappointingly fell away to a stronger-finishing Monbulk to go down 94/78. Healesville 2 travelled down to play MCC 6 on their grass green and had another big win, 95/58, with Wally Mays' rink for the second week in a row having another good win, 32/14. Healesville 2 has won all five matches now and still sits atop the ladder. Corporate Challenge had another big night. The highlight was that there were three drawn games, showing the competition is evening up with some exciting games.

New penalties for danger 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.

Super spirited Supra makes a coveted comeback

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 differ-

ential 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 cal-

lipers, 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.

1187559-RC24-15

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 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.

BEST PRICE, BEST TANKS WITH A LIFETIME GUARANTEE It’s time to catch it, order and build your concrete tank NOW!!!

12404514-RA46-18

Ring Terry Miller direct for the the best best prices prices

Ph. 0260 267 021 Concrete tanks built correctly will last a life time! Terry Miller from Terry Miller Concrete Tanks has been in the concrete tank building business for nearly 30 years. Being from country Victoria himself, Terry realises the importance of good water storage systems. Concrete water tanks built correctly will last a lifetime. They keep your water cool, clean and algae free. This is because our tanks have 5-inch walls and a six-inch base, and are poured with 40-mpa strength concrete not 25 or 30 mpa. We also use plasticiser to keep up the strength in the tanks instead of water. And after 28 days of curing the strength of the concrete will be between 48 and 52 mpa. And each tank is poured individually on site. These tanks come out white, which is a sign of the strength in the tanks. The MPA is a measure of how much concrete there is as parts per 1000. The walls of the tank are vibrated all around to ensure that there are no air bubbles and that the concrete is compacted down. Terry generally builds tanks in three sizes, 50,000, 105,000 and 120,000 either with a silo (metal) roof, concrete top or open top tanks. The tanks will not blow away or fall apart, and this is particularly important in areas where there is high wind, or in fire prone districts. In the event of a fire, a large tank (120,000 litres) can supply water back up to the main house. By setting up a petrol powered generator and pumping water up onto the house directly, via a reverse water sprinkler system, you will keep your home cool and wet. Or if need be, you can jump into the tank to keep cool and be protected from flames and radiant heat. Water is our most important resource, and we cannot have too much of it! So for all your water storage needs when you are thinking of installing your next tank, please call Terry for a quote on 0419462814 or 0260267021 or check out our web site, www.terrymillerconcretetanks.com.au. Nearly three years ago, we suffered our own fire here, in Barnawartha, and we were lucky. But it made me realise how important good water storage is. We are in for a long, hot, dry summer, and fire restrictions are in. Having an ample supply of safely stored water is imperative. So why not contact Terry now about your water supply needs, BEFORE, the heat builds up and water scarce. There is nothing more refreshing than your own cool, clear, clean water!
