Help for wildlife would like to think, kangaroos aren’t in plague proportions,” she said. “The problem we’re having is that we’re pushing them into such small areas that they seem to be in plague proportions. “They’re coming into contact with cars more often, they’re coming into contact with dogs more often.” The Bungalook Creek Wildlife Shelter has been running for 15 years. It cares for about 300 animals every year and attends to roughly 500. The shelter typically cares for kangaroos but also looks after other species such as wombats, possums and wallabies. Ms Cash said people can expect to see more baby birds on the ground and animals caught in nets as we head into spring. She said people should use netting smaller than their finger and consider whether or not
By Romy Stephens A Mount Evelyn wildlife shelter has warned residents to be wary of injured wildlife, with unusually warm conditions sparking a rise in the number of orphaned animals taken into care this year. Emma Cash, the owner of Bungalook Creek Wildlife Shelter, said she has attended to almost double the number of joeys in comparison to this time last year. “We used to have defined joey seasons. Joeys are anything from possums to kangaroos to wombats,” she explained. “Now we’re getting joeys really quite early, or we’re just not getting a break full-stop so they’re breeding throughout the year. “Every time there’s an animal hit it seems to have a joey in the pouch.” Ms Cash attributed the recent spike to a mix

baby birds actually need to be taken to a shelter. “Fledgelings spend a lot of time on the ground when they learn to fly and mum and dad are usually pretty close. They don’t need to come into care,” she said. “If you can see that other birds around are a similar species, then you’re pretty much guaranteed it’s going to be a fledgeling and they are going to be ok,” she said. “If you’re concerned you can put them in a low branch and just watch from a distance.” She also said not enough people call shelters or wildlife carers when they hit an animal on the road. “If you hit an animal, call someone. We’re not about yelling at you because you’ve accidentally hit an animal.” “We might not be able to save that animal that you’ve hit, but it might have a live youngster in that pouch that we could.”

LETTERS Bulls snap bitter sweet I loved the 'Picture-perfect pix' in the Ranges Trader Mail (27 August). But one - a photograph of a group of bull calves at sunrise - was bitter sweet; bitter sweet because I knew that each one of those gentle and inoffensive young animals will meet a premature, terrifying and violent death in the slaughterhouse. It doesn't have to be this way and it shouldn't be this way. As a vegan of 40 years I can vouch for the fact that no animal needs to suffer in order for us to enjoy a healthy and happy life. Jenny Moxham, Monbulk
Time’s up It's time to put an end to a few lies. This world and many of its people have been seriously duped. There is a school of thought that suggests that aborigines, our first Australians have been here 40,000 years and some will say even longer maybe to try and impress others. There is no evidence whatsoever and really 40,000 years is total nonsense. The real truth is that our first Australians have been here maybe 4000 years, if that. It's plain to me that they came from the area of India and Sri Lanka. Aboriginal people are far more closely related to us, indeed our brothers and sisters in a sense, and hence there are serious consequences. Those who had put together the Australian constitution in those years before 1901 demonstrated appalling ignorance and arrogance by leaving out our first Australians.
Humankind is all one race albeit that there are many cultures that have developed over about 4500 years. So it's well and truly time to fix this injustice. It is also an inconvenient truth that the human race had to restart again after the world wide flood about 4500 years ago. There have not been a series of ice ages with the climate running hot and cold over millions of years; that's more nonsense. Consequences of this truth are that we all must hurry up and grapple with the problem of climate change very seriously. Starting at the time of the industrial revolution about 150 years ago the consequences of massive tree clearing, burning fossil fuels, internal combustion engines, just to name a few things while all seemingly wonderful advancements from human knowledge as we are now finding out have a huge price tag - self destruction. In recent generations we have had an education revolution but sadly wisdom is diminishing rapidly. We need thousands, even millions of those like Greta Thunberg from Sweden who at aged 15 years in 2018 told world leaders they are "not mature enough to tell it like it is when it comes to tackling climate change". Well said, Greta! Peter Cook (Ranges Trader Mail, 13 August) in his call for climate action reported "any politician without a serious plan to tackle climate change is not fit to hold office". As well as challenging our leaders let's challenge ourselves. End the lies and act now. Phil Heading, Olinda

IN BRIEF Tool theft charges
Organ donation is now possible here
Police charged a Healesville woman over a theft from a tradie’s toolbox in Lilydale in June. They arrested the 26-year-old woman in Richmond on 23 August and charged her with theft from motor car, possessing drugs, and committing an indictable offence while on bail. She was remanded in custody. Police arrested and charged a 42-year-old Lilydale man over the same incident on 3 July. They allege both people took Makita and Paslode power tools from an unlocked toolbox on a ute parked at the Crown Hotel in Lilydale between 7pm and 11.50pm on 22 June. Yarra Ranges CIU Sergeant Mark Smithwick urged tradies to mark their tools with their driver’s licence number, including batteries, to aid in their return should they ever be stolen.
By Derek Schlennstedt Talking to families donating the organs of their loved one might seem to make for a difficult day, but for some nurses it’s part of a reality that makes their job worth doing. “It’s an option to give families some comfort by giving them information about organ donation,” Kristen Wilmott, a specialist nursing coordinator with DonateLife Victoria, said. “If they believe that aligns with their loved one’s wishes then we continue to go forward. “Quite often its brings them comfort, being offered something out of nothing...it’s a silver lining." Ms Wilmott’s role is state-based, but lately she has been spending some time at the Angliss Hospital in Ferntree Gully, where organ donation is now possible thanks to a new intensive care unit. Victoria has more organ donors than any other state and last year saw a record number of organ donors at 193, up from 148 the previous year. This meant organ transplantation surgery saved 529 lives. “With the Angliss Hospital opening an intensive care unit, it means we can facilitate organ donation,” Ms Willmott said. “Angliss has been recognised as a growing health provider and we want to be able to offer and provide best practice. “It’s giving people that option.” Nursing co-ordinators such as Ms Wilmott facilitate the organ donation process by talk-
Petty cash crime Thieves smashed the front door to a Tecoma convenience store and stole a small amount of cash. Police said they broke into the Bon Ton Mini Mart about 2am on 22 August. Witnesses saw an orange Subaru XV at the scene, which police recovered in Oakleigh. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.

Ms Willmott said her job was re-
warding and diverse. “We can be placed in any hospital in Victoria at a moment’s notice, but to talk with people and make donation happen is extraordinary,” she said.
Belgrave CFA launches fire safety film By Derek Schlennstedt An education initiative to help hills residents learn about fire safety has launched in Belgrave. The Belgrave CFA unit and Belgrave Cameo worked together for six months to produce a video explaining the main causes of house fires. The idea came about to address some confusion in the community. Belgrave CFA members acted in the videos and helped to write the script for the film, which launched on 26 August. Crew member Kirstin Cross was instrumental in organising the educational ad. “At the start and at the finish, this is the story of the remarkable and truly generous relationship between the Cameo Cinema and their community,” she said. “The CFA has been the messenger but without a carrier for the message the community would not be informed.” Ms Cross said the idea was born from a
The Belgrave CFA gave away 100 smoke detectors and 60 fire blankets at the Belgrave Cameo during the duration of their educational video. community meeting after the Yinnar fires. “While the Yinnar fires were in progress this year, I was deployed to shifts there and at the same time working on a community education meeting to be held at the fire station," she said. "From the 6011 residents in Belgrave and Tecoma we had 35 attendees.
“In casting about for a different approach, it dawned on me that Belgrave, uniquely in the ranges, has a cinema which has itself served the town and surrounds for nearly 90 years.” As summer turned to winter, it was apt that the advertisement should address house fires, which are more likely over the cooler months. The advertisement, which has been screening at the Cameo for seven weeks now, addressed the three main causes of house fires - heaters, unattended cooking and candles. “Our house fire safety ad has now been running for seven weeks and has generated so much positive support - brilliant, professional, great safety message and humour too,” Ms Cross said. “The Cameo also recently allowed the brigade to use their foyer for two Tuesday nights in a row, to ask patrons about smoke detectors and fire blankets. "As a result, we were able to engage with the public and gave away 100 smoke detectors and 60 fire blankets with a bag of goodies.”
Thieves cut a hole in a roof and fished out nine drones valued at $6000. Police said the incident occurred at the Officeworks stores on Maroondah Highway, Chirnside Park, about 4.30am on 20 August. They cut the hole in the roof directly above where the drones were stored and used a fishing rod or similar to retrieve them. Anyone with information about the crime or who spots the drones for sale should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
A valuable lesson Thieves broke into a car parked on Mount Dandenong Tourist Road, one kilometre east of One Tree Hill Road, and stole a phone, cash and cards from the centre console. The owner left his car about 7.30am on 25 August and returned about 9.30am to find his passenger-side front window smashed. Police urged motorists not to leave valuables in their cars. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 with any information.
Spring firewood The spring firewood collection season opened on 1 September. People collecting firewood must do so only from designated collection areas in state forests or parks where collection is allowed, and must stay within collection limits. Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and Parks Victoria staff will be patrolling parks, forests and reserves to make sure people are doing the right thing while collecting firewood. Some firewood collection areas might be part of a planned burning program and be closed at short notice. Visit www.ffm.vic.gov.au/firewood or call 136 186 for more.

A milestone of a meeting some that have been witnessed only by council staff and our watchful and well-appreciated members of the press in the gallery. But every decision has an impact, one way or another, on our wider community. As the elected representatives for the Yarra Ranges, our meetings are where we can support and guide the changing needs of our com-
munities and provide leadership for a better tomorrow. It's where we can help people to navigate their way through complex planning issues, help to strike a balance between competing interests in the community, represent the views of our residents in a public forum, advocate to other levels of government about action needed to support our communities, and help to explain the work of the council to the wider community. It's also a place where community members can talk to us directly, to ask for assistance for their cause or raise awareness of an issue. I'm sure I can speak for every councillor who has served in our chambers when I say that the decisions we make are given due consideration; that we always seek to make
the most of community resources; and we constantly strive for the best community outcomes for now and the future. We as councillors may not always agree on the best approach to various issues, but that's one of the benefits of our council - we all represent different viewpoints, backgrounds, upbringings and local knowledge and we always use these influences, our hearts and minds to try and get the best result for the communities. I can confidently say that this current council is mindful of those differences, is respectful in our approach when the room may be divided and keeps the community in mind throughout. With the example we set today and the work we do in the community, I think we're putting Yarra Ranges Council in good stead for the next 500 meetings.

By Tony Stevenson, Yarra Ranges Mayor On Tuesday 27 August, Yarra Ranges Council held its 500th council meeting. Yarra Ranges Council is the modern manifestation of the former shires of Lillydale (founded 1856), Healesville (1887), Upper Yarra (1888) and Ferntree Gully (founded 1889 and amalgamated with the Shire of Sherbrooke in 1963). Yarra Ranges Council as we know it was formed when these shires amalgamated in 1994. Democratic representation for the people of Yarra Ranges returned in 1997 with the first ordinary council meeting held on 15 April 1997. We've had significant decisions on developments, projects and community enhancements in all the meetings since - some that have been watched by a gallery of hundreds,

Sensory free space By Derek Schlennstedt At this year's Halloween on the Green, organisers have set aside one hour during which there are no crowds or overwhelming stimuli for children with autism. From 11-12pm on 26 October, loud noises, music and costumes will be minimised so that sensory sensitive members of the community can enjoy the Halloween festival too. Without the usual piped-in music, PA system and thousands of fairgoers buzzing around, children with autism have the chance to experience something their condition might not normally allow them to. Communications Director and creator of the hour, Belinda Young explained that the new addition to Halloween on the Green makes the event more accessible and enjoyable to as many members of the community as possible. "Sensory Free Hour is dedicated to adults and children with sensory challenges," Ms Young said. "By having reduced noise levels and minimal costumes and masks, we hope this hour makes Halloween on the Green an event that more patrons can enjoy." While the hour is a fantastic addition to the event and every effort was made by the team at Halloween on the Green to ensure this hour is as quiet and costume free as possible, Belinda emphasized the need for 'adults and parents of children with sensory challenges to assess for themselves whether the event is suitable as everyone's sensory needs are different'. Over the hour, no masks will be worn by stallholders of vendors, music on rides and on the stage will not be played until 12pm, and event broadcasts will not be conducted, though a 10-minute warning will be given by stallholders before the sensory hour ends. For this first hour, entry is also free with the

Red tape cut By Casey Neill Yarra Ranges Councillors are vowing to cut red tape that closed a homeless housing project this winter. Councillor Len Cox told the Tuesday 27 August council meeting that he didn't want Stable One's Winter Shelter to hit any stumbling blocks next year. Stable One partnered with churches to provide temporary accommodation since winter 2017. But the council shut the project a week early, on 20 August, following advice from the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) that the churches needed temporary occupancy permits. "I want to make sure that the arrangements are sorted out properly between now and next June so that they can do it and there won't be an issue," Cr Cox said. "The issue is do they need a permit to do it? What should that permit be? "There is nothing but confusion about it. "I want to impress on council and staff that it needs to get sorted before next winter comes around because the churches will most certainly want to do it again. "I would like to get a report from staff as to how it can occur next year without this situation." Mayor Tony Stevenson told the meeting that the council wrote to the State Government in May but didn't receive any support. In a statement on 23 August, the council said that Planning Minister Richard Wynne had in response confirmed that any organisation wishing to accommodate - temporarily or permanently - needed to hold the relevant occupancy permits. "We are caught in a difficult position between the VBA and Stable One," Cr Stevenson said.

By Derek Schlennstedt A passion for trains runs deep in the Campbell family. Ian Campbell spent more than 30 years working in the rail industry, and has been a volunteer at Puffing Billy for 53 years. His passion rubbed off on his grandson, Zac Campbell, who has volunteered at Puffing Billy since 2012 and currently works full time for Metro Trains in Ringwood. Zac's partner, Caitlin, is also a Puffing Billy volunteer and they recently welcomed baby Edward into their family. While they have no plans to coerce him into the railways, their family history and passion for the industry is bound to make an impression. Despite living all over Australia for work, Ian would regularly travel back to the Dandenong Ranges to volunteer at Puffing Billy, coming from as far as the Pilbara to do a shift. His first memory of Puffing Billy is seeing one of the last trains to operate on the railway in the 1950s, before it closed down following the landslide of 1953. "I remember asking my Dad what it was, and he said 'That's Puffing Billy, but you can say goodbye to Puffing Billy'," Ian said. "As we know, the railway was saved after the formation of the Puffing Billy Preservation Society, and Dad took us back there for a ride when it was up and running again. I have been hooked ever since." Ian started volunteering in 1966 and would sell lollies on the platform from the old-fashioned ushers trays. "I have done nearly every role at the railway over the years, but I always had my sights set on being a train driver." "My work with the railways took me all over Australia, but I would always make sure I came

back to Puffing Billy every now and then to spend a few days volunteering." Zac's first photo at Puffing Billy was taken when he was around six months old, and he visited many times with his grandfather during his childhood. Like many young boys, Zac loved railways, and having a grandfather that worked on one meant he got to fuel his fascination more than most. "My family lived with our grandparents in Kalgoorlie when I was young, and Grandpa was a train driver there. I used to go to work with him, and I would also tag along on occasion when he would go to Puffing Billy." "I started as an engine cleaner and currently carry out many other volunteer roles,

"It would be pretty special if he does have the same passion for the railway as Caitlin and I do, along with his great grandfather, but only time will tell!" Zac said.

Gotta scoot! Yarra Ranges Councillor Mike Clarke suggested scooters could help with transport issues in the region. He told the Tuesday 27 August meeting that he’d used the public vehicles during a visit to Paris. “It’s something that really works,” he said. He explained they were fitted with GPS and Wi-Fi technology to protect them from theft and vandalism.

Fears for tourism change By Casey Neill The Yarra Ranges could be lumped in with other Victorian tourism regions following a State Government review, Yarra Ranges Council fears. Councillors agreed to make a submission to the State Government review of regional tourism at their Tuesday 27 August meeting. The review aims to find new ways to support tourism in regional Victoria, enhance private investment and create more regional jobs. But Cr Fiona McAllister said there were rumours circulating around the review, and the investment in the work suggested it would result in change. She said there was talk about combining
the Yarra Ranges region with the Mornington Peninsula. "Tourism, as we well know, is such an important factor of every arm of good health in the Yarra Ranges," she said. "Any review and any amalgamation process would have a substantial impact on our voice." Cr McAllister hoped feedback would inform a best practice model that would come back for a further conversation with local government and tourism bodies. "And not just a roll-out of one-size-fits-all," she said. "For us to step into an amalgamated model with no further consultation would be absolutely disastrous." And not just for the Yarra Ranges.
"Other areas deserve a voice the same as we do," she said. Cr McAllister said she absolutely supported a review and any shifts that could be made to better practice. "But I don't think Yarra Ranges Council are looking for a shift to an amalgamated entity," she said. "It might see us withdrawing financial support." Cr Mike Clarke said the region was so iconic for tourism in quite a diverse range of ways. "To have that diluted to me would be a disadvantage for us," he said. "We've got a lot to still improve." The council report on the submission noted
that tourism directly provided the Yarra Ranges with 3300 jobs and $619 million in gross revenue annually. "Indirectly, tourism has a significant influence on the economy across all industry sectors including agriculture, manufacturing, retail trade, accommodation and food services, and arts and recreation services," the report said. Yarra Ranges Tourism Limited (YRT) is the Regional Tourism Board for the State Government's Yarra Valley and Dandenong Ranges campaign region. Yarra Range Council outsources the municipality's marketing and promotion to YRT and supports the body financially.
Female motorbike riders unite to bring out the baton By Romy Stephens The world-first Women Riders World Relay (WRWR) rode through Lilydale on Friday 30 August as part of its Australian leg of the global tour. Almost 80 female motorbike riders helped transfer a GPS-tracked baton from Lilydale to Wagga Wagga in a bid to raise awareness towards females in the motorsport industry. The baton has already been transferred by female riders also known as Guardians through Europe and Asia and it’s been travelling through Australia since 25 August. Row Murray is the Australian WRWR Media Manager and a Guardian that helped transfer the baton through Lilydale. She said the women riders have done an incredible job in passing the baton through Australia, with some having to do thousands of kilometres of riding on their own. “The dedication of some of the riders has

Ms Murray said she had personally felt the effects of being a female rider in the motorsport industry. “I really struggled because I’m tall and I’m a bit of a plus-size chick,” she explained. “I’ve had to buy men’s clothing, pull it apart get in under the sowing machine and resize it
just so I can wear it. “More and more brands, especially in the past two or three years have been doing a really good job.“ The WRWR has nearly 16,000 members globally with 3,500 of those being Australian. Ms Murray said Australia has led the world when it comes to involvement in the relay. “We’ve got 612 registered Guardians,” she said. “Australia has been the biggest country by far in terms of sign up numbers. “We’ve just got behind it like machines.” The relay will see the baton passed through 80 countries over a period of about 12 months. It started in Scotland and will finish up in the United Arab Emirates in January next year. For more information about the relay and different routes visit womenridersworldrelay.com.

Rail review on removal By Casey Neill Lilydale residents are encouraged to share their ideas about removing the town's level crossing. Yarra Ranges Councillor Richard Higgins told the Tuesday 27 August council meeting that people were concerned about the plan to elevate the rail line above Maroondah Highway. "Hopefully the community can stick together," he said. Cr Higgins said he'd visited Murrumbeena, where the line was recently elevated.
"I hope we're not getting what they got down there," he said. "It's a concrete jungle. It's atrocious." He said he supported raising the line but "we need to make sure that it's futureproof and something the community actually wants". On behalf of the Lilydale Township Action Group, Neal Taylor told the Mail that parking was the biggest concern. Up to 450 new and upgraded car parking spaces have been included in the Mooroolbark level crossing removal project, but there's been no mention of extra space at Lilydale.
Mr Taylor said other issues raised at recent community meetings included what the space underneath the line would be used for; traffic flow; how bus services might be affected; and lift, stairwell and ramp access, including access for Lilydale High School students without the need to cross the road. "There is some concern about the trees on Maroondah Highway there in Lilydale, the avenue of honour, and making sure that nothing's harmed there," he said. The group also wants to ensure the heritage-listed rail station is well used following the redevelopment.
"This is an opportunity now for Lilydale to really take the next step up and use this as a positive thing for us," he said. "We straddle being a country town that's grown up into a suburban town." Another public workshop was scheduled for 1pm on Saturday 31 August at the senior citizens hall in Lilydale. "It's a good chance to get together and hear some fresh ideas," Mr Taylor said. Those ideas as being documented and will be passed onto the council and the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA).
Drummer back to his best beat after a long break By Romy Stephens A Montrose drummer, who rediscovered his love for the stage, will be performing throughout the Dandenong Ranges and surrounds this spring. After having a break from music roughly 25 years ago, 57-year-old Andrew McDonough has since picked the sticks back up and is now hitting the local rock scene by storm. He will be performing with cover band Portal Vision and Melbourne original band The Pharaohs at numerous venues in Melbourne over the next few months, including Brycees Tavern in Mooroolbark. During the '80s, Andrew dedicated all of his time to touring and performing for punk rock band La Femme. He said he commonly spent time with world-famous bands. "I spent a great deal of my life travelling up the Eastern Board of Australia playing in clubs in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne," he said.
Andrew McDonough (second from the right) and La Femme in the 1980s. Picture: SUPPLIED "We caught up with Duran Duran one night and had dinner in Sydney." He also said he was lucky enough to play
with The Cockroaches before they became The Wiggles. But after spending nine years on tour, An-
drew decided it was time to pack up the sticks. "I stopped playing around 30 just to settle down," he said. "My plans were to get a house, get some sort of stability, start a family." Wind the clock forward to today and Andrew not only has five sons - including a set of triplets - but he has also recaptured his love for drumming. "My brother who plays in a band, The Rifters, actually said to me just come along and have a go...that was over two years ago," he said. "I realised that I was rusty and creaky and I was actually no good, but I enjoyed it and I kept working at it." Portal Vision will be playing at Brycees Tavern in Mooroolbark on 8 November. The group will also perform at The Black Hat, Geelong on 30 August and Mr Boogie Man Bar, Abbotsford on 6 September. The Pharaohs will perform at Mr Boogie Man Bar on 7 September.

Teacher’s top mark By Romy Stephens For many, the thought of working in an industry for 40 years seems unreachable. But for high school teacher Jayne Lauder, her years of educating have flown by. “I don’t know where the years have gone, it’s just incredible,” she said. “The concept of having taught for 40 years is just surreal.” This year, Ms Lauder has been recognised for her long career dedicated to public education. She was among 400 teachers and staff that received an award at the Department of Education and Training’s Recognition of Service ceremony on 21 July. Ms Lauder started teaching at Hampton High School before moving to McKinnon Secondary College. She then settled at Yarra Hills Secondary, where she has been teaching English, health, physical education and outdoor education for the past 37 years. Like so many, Ms Lauder pursued her career-path thanks to the teachers she looked up to when she was young. She said she was lucky, as it was rare to have teachers that cared about students' interests outside of school in those days. “I had a really inspirational PE teacher and another teacher who used to spend every lunchtime out with us kids playing volleyball," she said. "They really inspired me. “Teaching now is very much about relationships, when I was at school it wasn’t, it was very unusual for teachers to take interest in you as a person.” Those teachers not only helped influence her to become a teacher but she said they were the only reason she was able to play volleyball for Victoria between the ages of 14 and 19.
Jayne Lauder receives an award at the Recognition of Service Ceremony in July. But Ms Lauder said a lot had changed in the past 40 years, not only when it came to student and teacher relationships but also the influence technology had on the classroom. “Technology has just outgrown everybody, their (students) world is so totally different,” she said. “I think technology can be a blessing and it can also create problems as well. “I remember going to the library and actually doing the physical thing of looking at a book. "Today’s generation missed out on that hands-on approach of libraries.
“There are many skills and things that we’ve gained, but there are also quite a lot of skills that we’ve lost.” In the future, she hopes to keep teaching and potentially undertake a course or two herself. Her advice to young teachers starting out was to take care of themselves in a rapidly developing field. “The demands on teachers these days are very high, the role has changed incredibly since I first started teaching,” she said. “Look after yourself. If you don’t look after yourself you can’t look after anyone else.”
Meeting 500 By Casey Neill Wurundjeri woman Julie Coombes opened the 500th Yarra Ranges Council meeting with a welcome to country. "You are most welcome to the land of the Wurundjeri people," she told the Tuesday 27 August meeting. She shared pictures and stories of her ancestors, many of whom were born at Coranderrk in Healesville. "Aboriginal people at Coranderrk were true survivors," she said. Ms Coombes wore a possum skin cloak handed down from her mother, and explained that a welcome to country paid respect to the land's traditional owners as well as their guests. "I welcome you all from my heart to my country, Wurundjeri country," she said. Councillor Len Cox was present at the first council meeting, held on 15 April 1997. He was unsure if that event featured a welcome to country, but was pleased that the council had since fostered such a positive relationship with its indigenous community members. On the main wall of the council chambers was a new indigenous language map and art, which the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum created with guest curator, Wurundjeri woman, Brooke Wandin. It commemorates the UNESCO International Year of Indigenous Languages and highlights indigenous language words that have been repurposed to name and identify locations. Melbourne Indigenous artist Amanda Wright created the artworks that feature on the map. Yarra Ranges brought together the shires of Lillydale, Healesville, Upper Yarra and Ferntree Gully. "As the elected representatives for the Yarra Ranges, these meetings are where we can support and guide the changing needs of our communities and provide leadership for a better tomorrow," Mayor Tony Stevenson said.

The sweet sounds of ukuleles descended on Emerald for this year’s Hills Ukulele Festival. The event ran at Emerald Primary School on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 May and featured a diverse range of world-class ukulele performers, ukulele groups and workshops. Festival organiser and the school’s music teacher, Dan MacEoin, said all Saturday workshop participants were welcomed to the main stage during the gala concert on Sunday. “How many music festivals have that level of inclusivity?” he said.

As a franchise of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank, the Upwey Community Bank, followed by Belgrave and Cockatoo branches (which make up the Dandenong Ranges Group) have been making significant contributions for the past 20 years. The community bank model was set up to benefit communities as well as retain banking services within communities when there was a trend for banks to close their doors and leave towns back in the late 1990s. This trend has continued over the past 20 years. Dandenong Ranges Community Bank group chair John Waters said the company was committed to supporting a thriving Dandenong Ranges community. "We need to remember that banks are a business and they need to pay staff, meet running costs and hopefully make a profit," he said. "The difference with community banks is com.au
that they also give up to 80 per cent of their profits back to the communities that support them. "Recently our contributions back to the Dandenong Ranges area has reached $5 million, which is such a fantastic achievement for a community enterprise that many perceived as a far-off dream 20 years ago. "But we have taken this dream for a locally-owned and operated bank and turned it into a reality, financially supporting hundreds of community initiatives in the process. "Thanks to the support of our shareholders, customers, staff and company board, we have been able to grow to be one of the biggest sources of community funding in the area. "With the support of the Dandenong Ranges community bringing their business to us we can continue to grow our business and, most importantly, our community."

ENTERTAINMENT
Curator with inside story By Romy Stephens Lynley Dodd's tales of Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy have resonated with generations of Australians for over 35 years. One person who has become almost more familiar with the stories than Lynley herself is exhibition curator, Penelope Jackson. Penelope is the mastermind behind The Lynley Dodd Story exhibition, set to hit the Yarra Valley this September. She will bring the likes of Hairy Maclary, Slinky Malinki, Schnitzel Von Krumm and Scarface Claw to life at the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum. But Penelope is not your average exhibition curator. Since first meeting Lynley 14 years ago, she has developed a strong relationship with the author and her books. "I have known Lynley for a very long time and I've actually created three exhibitions of her work," she said. "She's more than just the mother of Hairy Maclary." The pair first met 14 years ago when Penelope interviewed Lynley for a magazine article. "It's a bit embarrassing actually because I stood on her cat which became Slinky Malinky," Penelope said. The pair both came from Tauranga, New Zealand and Penelope's children had grown up reading the tales of Hairy Maclary from Donaldson's Dairy. Before the interview, Penelope had developed a list of exhibitions she wanted to create, the story of Lynley Dodd was one of them. Penelope said it was initially tough to get Lynley to agree to the idea, but once she did
The Lynley Dodd Story will take place at the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum from September this year. Picture: COURTESY OF PENELOPE JACKSON they never looked back. "She was very hesitant to let her babies go," Penelope said. "We didn't even seal the back of the frames up because they were temporary." The very first exhibition of Lynley's work was in New Zealand in 2011.
"We were inundated with visitors and very soon lots of other galleries wanted the exhibition," Penelope said. "It just went to several venues and then the Australians wanted it." In 2015, The Lynley Dodd Story was created especially for the State Library of Western Australia. Since then, it has travelled all around
Australia and New Zealand. Penelope said visitors attending the exhibition can expect to see more than just Hairy Maclary books. "What I show is Lynley's story as a writer and an illustrator but it's also the development of characters," she said. "I've interwoven the popular with the unfamiliar characters because they are gorgeous characters as well and they've had great stories. "You will see the very first little drawing of Hairy Maclary, it's very tiny." The Lynley Dodd Story features original artworks, unpublished illustrations and the history behind the Hairy Maclary and Friends book series. Before the official exhibition opening, 'An Evening with Dame Lynley Dodd' will allow fans to attend a Q&A session with Lynley and Penelope, take a sneak peek at the exhibition and have their book signed. The opening weekend will also be full of excitement with a Family Fun Day and a Writers Masterclass with Lynley and Penelope. As much as all the side events add to the exhibition, Penelope said visitors will mainly be blown away by the quality of Lynley's work. "Her books are really beautiful to read and that's the comments we get when people come to see the exhibition." "The language is really special and I think that's the magic of her books." The Lynley Dodd Story will begin on 7 September and run until 26 January at the Yarra Ranges Regional Museum. For more information or to buy tickets, visit http://ach.yarraranges.vic.gov.au/Home.

ents, brother and sister. Norwegian-born Iranian-Australian and MIFF Accelerator Lab alumnus director Maziar Lahooti makes his feature debut with this devilishly dark comedy -Below. Below is a pitchblack comedy with a unique, and uniquely provocative, take on Australia's controversial asylum-seeker detention system. Among the other movies is In My Blood it Runs. The movie is a personal documentary told with a perceptive eye, poetic imagery and made in collaboration with Dujuan and his family; it's also an account of the Northern Territory's harsh treatment of Indigenous youths, a situation that's never far from the boy's mind. Four years after Gayby Baby (MIFF 2015), Maya Newell crafts another powerful, essential portrait of Australian youth, putting the plight of the Northern Territory's Indigenous children in the spotlight. The series of weekend movies will feature at Belgrave Cameo Cinemas from 13 to 15 September. For more information about the movies and to buy tickets go to : miff.com.au/travelling.
Hosted at the creative space of Two Floors studio in Belgrave on Sunday, 'Scratch it up' gave audiences a glimpse into this years 'hillsceneLIVE' (HSL). From dance to circus, storytelling to interactive performance, the event introduced many of the artists who will be performing at the festival later this year. The 2019 hillsceneLIVE theme is that of "Turbulent lineages to shifting thresholds" and artists showcased a variety of pieces inspired by the phrase. Gulsen Ozer described her work as one of highs, lows and love and through her storytelling focused on the personal story of family and life experiences. Katie Lohner captivated with her story of an intimate human act - one of tradition, isolation and addiction.
Dani-Ela Kayler's piece was visceral, playful and intimate and explored our changing realities through contemporary dance. Fellow dancer Kathleen Renehan also tested the theme through her piece, which challenged the vertical limits that currently defines dance. In line with the Hillscene program, artists come with their abstract and potentially confronting ideas and through the Hillscene program are given the opportunity to develop and explore themes not possible through other means. These ideas are further realised and performed at the eighth HSL festival later this year. The art showcased at 'Scratch it up' were not completed pieces, yet provided a delectable taste for what is to come at this years HSL festival. For further details on this years festival see: http://www.hillscenelive.com
I spit on your grave – Tasmanian gothic edition The Nightingale Starring Aisling Franciosi, Baykali Ganambarr and Sam Claflin Rated MA15+ Directed by Jennifer Kent, the gifted writerdirector of The Babadook, The Nightingale is a superb, harrowing historical thriller about cruelty and perseverance in the Australian colonial frontier. In 1825 Tasmania, Clare (Aisling Franciosi), an Irish servant and convict, teams up with Billy (Baykali Ganambarr), an Indigenous tracker, to find and gain vengeance on the British officers who destroyed her family. Franciosi delivers an enthralling performance of despair and frailty combined with a relentless will. Ganambarr has a bitter, guarded presence, but provides some levity through his sardonic remarks. Kent does an outstanding job of generating tension through character and setting.
The perilous Australian wilderness is a constant obstacle for everyone involved, and while Clare and Billy slowly bond over their present hardships and past trauma (including as victims of colonialism and displacement), the officers' callousness and desperation erupt into further monstrous acts of cruelty. A warning: The Nightingale contains extremely confronting depictions of rape, assault and murder. But these graphic scenes are never gratuitous in this film: they starkly illustrate how race, class and authority legitimised horrific depravity and dehumanisation during colonial times. The Nightingale is not for the faint of heart (or those triggered by the acts it depicts) but it's a gut-wrenching revenge thriller elevated by rich character writing, staggering performances and superb pacing. - Seth Lukas Hynes mailcommunity.com.au

Ben Kerrigan in action for the Kangaroos against Mount Evelyn on Sunday. 197225
Picture: ROB CAREW
Kangaroos are on the hop By Nick Creely Officer advanced through to Sunday's semifinal after a dominant showing in its AFL Outer East Division 1 elimination final against Mount Evelyn at the Gembrook Sports Ground on Sunday, 15.14 (104) to 6.7 (43). It was a Jekyll and Hyde type of day for the footy fans that made their way to ground, with the first half baked in sunshine before the heavens opened up, and each time the Kangaroos adjusted superbly, playing the finals type football all observers knew they were capable of. The Kangaroos struck almost immediately against the breeze, with skipper Matthew Clark wheeling around and snapping one through, before Jesse Longmuir - on his way to the finest game of his senior career - launched a long bomb from 50, kick starting a scintillating run of play. Longmuir's hands in the air were a particular highlight, taking several strong grabs and providing an excellent target for a Kangaroo midfield picking up the footy at alarming rates through the tap work of big man Sean Roach. The Kangaroos finished the opening stanza with five straight goals to flex their muscles, controlling the ball on the inside with Ben Kerrigan and Blair Allan and showing flashes of brilliance through ball magnet Tyler Clark, Jake Ingaliso and club legend Ben Tivendale, who seemed to really relish the finals stage. Longmuir, fresh off a splendid opening quarter, once again got the Kangaroos up and about early in the second, taking a nice grab and slotting another textbook set-shot, sending the Kangaroos into raptures as the lead ventured past five goals. The Rovers did begin to assert some influence in the coalface, with big forward Robert Hartfield starting to get a good look in, but the Kangaroos halted them on most occasions, using slick ball movement and a strong aerial presence to continue their overriding control, 22 MAIL

and when skipper Clarke kicked another ripping snap from 40 out, the lead ballooned out to beyond seven goals, all but sealing the result. While the Rovers did manage to peg a few back late through Hartfield who continued to look ominous, it felt like too little too late, with the Kangaroos still holding onto a five-goal advantage as the rain began to well and truly set in, settling in for the second half. A brief chance of a fight back became a slim reality when the Rovers slammed on two early goals in the third term, before the Kangaroos once again took the game by the scruff of the neck and forged on ahead, kicking four unanswered goals to put to bed any chance of a remarkable resurgence. In a final quarter with the result inevitable, one eye was clearly on the next test that awaits the Kangaroos, holding the Rovers goalless and kicking two themselves, including one from Tivendale, who capped off a golden day for the club by putting that extra sweet icing on the cake in the dying moments. Veteran big man Sean Roach was absolutely superb, with the 36-year-old putting in a masterclass ruck performance for the Kangaroos, in one of his most influential games of the season, while Longmuir finished with five classy goals to be one of the most dominant players on the ground. Down at Beaconsfield's picturesque Holm Park, a gritty Doveton is just one win away from a grand final after downing Monbulk in sunny, and then torrential conditions, 8.12 (60) to 7.3 (45). It was all the Hawks in the first half, surging out to a 21-point lead at quarter time, but the Doves stuck in, pegging that deficit to just a straight kick at the major break as the weather well and truly settled in. The Doves managed to get the jump as the rain tumbled in the third term, with youngster Max Sheppard in particular handling the conditions with ease and midfielder Mitch Cotter
completely dominating the stoppages on his way to a mountain of the football. With the game well and truly in the balance with a quarter to play, and the Doves with a two-goal lead early in the last, a Hawk tackle slipped high and Daniel Charles' side made the most of the chance to take their lead out to three goals, before the Hawks began to try and defy the conditions and move the ball quickly. Despite the Hawks breathing some form of life into the contest with a reply 10 minutes later, Sheppard sealed the deal with his second goal, snapping one after a free kick advantage to send the Doves into a semi-final showdown with Pakenham. Young star Mitch Cotter - who was the SEFNL MVP for Doveton last year in a winless side - has returned to the club with a bang after a stint at Noble Park, relishing the wet conditions to be a dominant force against the Hawks, while Sean Kelleher, Harley Primrose and Daniel Zajac were all excellent. For the Hawks - who now face a crunch semi-final clash against the Kangaroos - Glenn Strachan was instrumental all day. In the Premier Division's final round of the home-and-away season, Cranbourne officially booked itself a finals ticket after a commanding performance against Upwey Tecoma on the road, 12.19 (91) to 6.11 (47).
The Eagles - who will now face Woori Yallock in a cut-throat elimination final on Saturday - shook off a slow start to take control of the contest after half time, kicking six goals to one across the final two quarters to bank the vital four points. Kyle Nunn and Corey Ellison each slotted three to continue their strong form, while Stuart Morrish, Anthony Fischer and Dylan Cavalot were all named in the best. In the remaining matches, Olinda Ferny Creek finished its season off on a bright note and will take plenty of confidence heading into the pre-season after defeating Wandin at home, 16.8 (104) to 9.10 (64). The Bloods surged out to a 26-point quarter time lead, and couldn't be headed thereafter, with Peter Gough, Dylan Wilson and James Charge all impressive. Beaconsfield geared up for finals with a commanding 52-point win against Woori Yallock, 12.23 (95) to 6.7 (43). After a stellar year for Casey in the VFL, Jimmy Munro made his first appearance of the season at local level for the Eagles, and slotted three goals to be influential. And Berwick clinched the minor premiership with a dominant final term against Narre Warren, 16.11 (107) to 10.15 (75).

Bloods are the premiers! By Jed Lanyon Healesville Football Netball Club's Senior Women's team are premiers and champions of the AFL Outer East after defeating Monbulk by 42 points in the grand final on Saturday 31 August. The Bloods pounced early to set up a crucial three goal lead at quarter time before running away to win the league's inaugural premiership. Danielle Jones was judged best afield, kicking three goals for the day to help propel Healesville to victory. "I'm so proud of all the girls, we've worked so hard all year and it obviously showed on Saturday night," she said. The grand finalists met in a semi final on 18 August which proved to be Healesville's closest match to date as they narrowly defeated the Hawks by one goal in a low-scoring affair plagued by wet conditions. "After our first final, we revaluated what we needed to do. But we were there purely just to play footy and give 100 per cent and we were lucky enough to come away with the win," Jones said. Healesville were the only team in the league who were able to beat Monbulk and the two teams were the standout leaders in the league sitting five wins ahead of the third placed team. Throughout the year, the Senior Women's team had used club guernseys that belonged to an under 18s men's team. A recent sponsorship from the RACV Healesville Country Club allowed the team to be sized for their own guernseys which arrived the day before the grand final. But coach Mitchell Hay kept this a secret from the players, believing that changing the guernseys for the big game would prove to be bad luck. They were instead presented their new
Healesville's Senior Women's team are the inaugural premiers of the AFL Outer East for 2019. guernseys as part of their premiership celebrations. Candice Martin described the win as historic for the club. "Honestly, I joined the football team for the fun side of it not to win. Winning is just a bonus. "I've made so many good friends and we're like a family now. It's one big support network. "Girls football is here to stay." Josette O'Donnell said that the premiership win was one of her best moments alongside her wedding day and the birth of her children. "I haven't taken my medal off yet," she said. O'Donnell had a special moment for Father's Day by visiting her father's grave site in

Yea to share her proud achievement. She said she enjoyed playing alongside fellow Wurundjeri woman Brooke Wandin in the game her ancestors knew as Marngrook. Wandin said she had watched every male member of her family play footy and that she was happy to get her own turn. The Healesville team spent Mad Monday at Healesville's Terminus Hotel with family for a 'wind down' lunch. "We've been having a lot of fun. We had been on some restrictions from our coach in order to prepare for grand final day. So now that it's over, it's great to let loose," Jones said. Healesville 8.2 50 (D. Jones 3, J. Petersen 3, D. Watson, C. Martin) defeated Monbulk 1.2 8 (M. Dodd).
Danielle Jones was judged best on field with three goals.
