Poppy appeal With donations for veterans falling and elderly residents further isolated amid COVID-19, Torquay RSL is urging locals to buy a poppy for Remembrance Day. Torquay RSL’s services for veterans during 2020 have remained relatively stable despite a 15 per cent drop in donations, according to branch president Bob Tyler. “We hope that this poppy campaign will give us a bit of funding,” he said. The RSL is selling poppies at Torquay Market on Saturday morning and local supermarkets until next Wednesday, with all money raised going towards its welfare fund. On November 11, at 11am, Australians will pause to remember those who lost their lives to war. “We recall the women and men who, through personal sacrifices, contributed to the evolution and identity of our country,” Mr Tyler said. “People wearing the red poppy provide a sign that we are not forgetting them.” Poppies are also available at Geelong RSL in Belmont.

Call to fix ‘terrible’ roads By Luke Voogt Geelong’s newly-elected council faces calls to fix several local roads in “terrible condition” or overwhelmed by traffic from new developments. Independent readers named multiple roads desperately needing attention after Waurn Ponds resident Ross Carlson last week raised fears of thousands of cars inundating Ghazeepore Road due to current and newly-approved developments. Ratepayers Geelong president Peter Mitchell echoed the readers’ concerns, saying council needed to plan better for growth areas.

“They seem to update the roads after people move in,” he said. “If they know people are moving in, they should be updated beforehand.” Council and developers seemed to look at new estates in isolation, resulting in unintentional increased traffic turning narrow roads like Ghazeepore into busy thoroughfares, he said. “There’s a lot of places where VicRoads and council don’t require [upgrades] and the developer won’t do it because it will cost them money. Developers think about the roads that go through their developments and even the ones that hit them, but they often don’t think of where else the traffic is going. “A developer cares about their patch of land,

it’s up to council to think about how it connects to the whole.” Lara readers described Forest Road and the intersection of Flinders and Station Lake roads as “horrendous”. “Lara is growing and the roads aren’t keeping track with it,” Mr Mitchell said. Reserve Road, Marshall, which also connects growth areas with Geelong, was in “terrible condition”, according to one reader. “Hurry up and put in the lights at the intersection with Surf Coast Highway too, before someone dies,” they posted. Mr Mitchell also echoed readers’ concerns over the condition of Fellmongers Road,

Breakwater, which he said was struggling with increased truck traffic, like Ryrie Street in central Geelong. But he welcomed Regional Roads Victoria’s current project to widen and increase the safety of Fyansford-Gheringhap Road, which he said would benefit new residents in nearby growth areas. Meanwhile, the state government yesterday announced that $9.6 million of upgrades to Princes Freeway and the Geelong Ring Road would commence next Monday. Under the program, workers will re-asphalt 14 kilometres of various sections between Waurn Ponds and Little River, overnight from Sundays to Thursdays.

Single fresh face on new council By Luke Voogt

Successful Put Climate First Kardinia ward candidate Belinda Maloney. (Supplied)

The new Geelong council will have just one fresh face, Put Climate First candidate Belinda Moloney, after voters re-elected 10 of 11 current councillors. The Kardinia ward candidate was “overwhelmed” but “excited” after the Victorian Electoral Commission announced the results on Wednesday. “It hasn’t sunk in at this point,” she said. Dr Moloney credited her election to Put Climate First, which fielded seven candidates in greater Geelong and neighbouring municipalities. The IT worker and university lecturer

thanked family, friends and environmental groups for their support. “During COVID it’s very difficult to extend your networks and get your information out there,” she said. “It was a very groundswell type of initiative.” Dr Moloney listed COVID-19 recovery, increasing council transparency and improving its Sustainability Framework Action Plan as her priorities. Put Climate First ran on a plan of Geelong council achieving zero emissions by 2030, which Dr Moloney said would be a “monumental endeavour”. Dr Moloney said she had “big shoes to fill” replacing sole outgoing councillor Pat

Murnane. “He’s a pillar in the community and he’s quite an unsung hero.” After preferences, Dr Moloney narrowly ousted fourth-placed Kardinia ward candidate Jack Williams, who said on Wednesday morning he would not call for a recount. Bruce Harwood placed first in Kardinia ward followed by Ron Nelson, while Anthony Aitken and Kylie Grzybek regained their seats in Windermere ward. Stephanie Asher, Trent Sullivan and Jim Mason all won convincingly on first count and preferences in the Bellarine ward. Sarah Mansfield, Eddy Kontelj and Peter Murrihy were also re-elected in Brownbill ward.

Seven new faces for shire

St Joseph’s College teacher Tom and students Cashin Caleb Ezard and Nick Nadile are getting involved in this year’s Movember. (Louisa Jones) 220385_04

Nick honours mate this Movember St Joseph’s year 11 student Nick Nadile hopes his new moustache can be a “billboard” for mental health after he lost friends to suicide this year. “I want it to be a conversation-starter,” he told the Independent. “This year I just felt I needed to raise as much awareness as possible because of what’s happened.” The 17-year-old Highton local credits his Italian heritage for his “thick” upper lip growth, but admits he started Movember a little bit early. Some friends and family have complimented his new facial hair, while others

described it as “filthy”, he said. “While some people might not like the look, everyone is supporting the cause.” The worldwide event supporting men’s health and cancer research is especially important for Nick this year after a close friend and another mate committed suicide. He described his close friend and footy comrade as a “comedian” who brought laughter and joy to others. “It’s been a bit quieter without him but we’ve stuck together strongly as a community,” he said. Nick described his friend’s death as “very

unexpected”. “I saw him the day before and he was happy when I was speaking to him.” He hopes by joining Movember he can show young men that “there’s no shame” in sharing their feelings or asking for help. He and his schoolmates created a Facebook group recently to check up on each other following the deaths, he said. Details: au.movember.com/team/2286663.

Just two Surf Coast Shire councillors, mayor Rose Hodge and Winchelsea ward councillor Heather Wellington, have held on to their places on council. Surf Coast Shire voters elected seven new councillors in a big shake-up of the municipality, the Victorian Electoral Commission confirmed yesterday. Independent Liz Pattison led the Torquay ward vote count, followed by Greens candidate Kate Gazzard. Cr Hodge polled third, followed by Liberal Democrats member Paul Barker, while voters dumped Torquay ward councillors David Bell, Brian McKiterick and Martin Duke. In Winchelsea, voters re-elected Cr Wellington, who won more than a third of first preferences, and voted in former Liberal member and current Labor member Adrian Schonfelder, who replaces Cr James McIntyre. In Anglesea ward, independents Libby Stapleton and Mike Bodsworth replaced councillors Margot Smith and Tony Revell. In Lorne, former school principal Gary Allen ran unopposed, taking over from former deputy mayor Clive Goldsworthy. Luke Voogt

Belchers back in owners’ hands By Luke Voogt Council has handed the former site of iconic 1920s building Belchers Corner back to its owners’ corporation following a $2.9 million demolition. City Hall on Monday announced the demolition was complete and that it would pursue a total of $4.1 million in ratepayer costs from the owners’ corporation. “While significant financial costs have been incurred as a result, the stabilisation and demolition works were vital for protecting

community safety,” council’s planning director Gareth Smith said. “We are now focusing on recouping costs through all appropriate legal avenues.” Workers completed the demolition of the site in September before undertaking minor repairs to neighbouring buildings. In mid-2018, following the discovery of concrete cancer, council evicted more than 20 businesses and stabilised the building. Mr Smith said the city had prioritised community safety from the outset, installing structural supports and undertaking

engineering inspections. City Hall also engaged civil engineers to monitor the building and in December 2019 began the demolition. The city spent about $1.2 million on stabilisation, reporting and monitoring of the building throughout 2018-19, the demolition throughout 2020 cost about $2.9 million. City Hall plans to recover the expenses, due to what it alleged was the owners’ corporation’s failure to comply with multiple building and emergency orders. Several setbacks delayed the demolition, including the building structure being different

from initial expectations and historical plans, according to City Hall. COVID-19 restrictions and the discovery of asbestos further delayed the demolition. Owners’ Corporation administrator Robert Evans said the organisation would closely review the costs incurred by council. Mr Evans declined to comment on the corporation’s plans for the site following a meeting of all 27 lot owners on Monday night. He said the future of the site was still being discussed but described the meeting as productive.

Very different Christmas Christmas festivities “unlike any other year” kicked off across Geelong this week as the city’s floating tree glided into Corio Bay. With carols cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions, Geelong council is instead hosting a live feed of the floating tree. “With Christmas just eight weeks away, we are excited to start bringing some festivity to the region,” council chief executive officer Martin Cutter said. “As with just about everything in 2020 … our Christmas celebrations are going to be unlike any other year.” Waterfront businesses are not expected to reap the usual economic benefits with visitor numbers likely to be down. In 2019 Geelong’s Christmas program generated $18.4 million for the local economy and attracted more than 352,000 visitors, council estimated. This April council postponed plans to revamp the floating tree stating this was “not a

funding priority” during the pandemic. The usual light and sound show will go ahead in coming weeks but council declined to announce a date to avoid attracting crowds. The Central Geelong Christmas Trail is back with lights and baubles, and the city’s catenary star will glow festive colours. A Greater Geelong Christmas Roadtrip scavenger hunt will also take place featuring Christmas trees, giant baubles and postcards, and chalk wall art across 24 locations. Locals who figure out a common festive greeting by visiting the displays can enter a draw to win a Christmas hamper of local goodies. Festive projections will light up City Hall and Shorts Place, while the Christmas Waterfront Makers and Growers Market could go ahead subject to restrictions.

Deadly airbags in Geelong cars By Luke Voogt More than 750 Geelong cars have “deadly” airbags that can kill vehicle occupants with sharp metal fragments, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned. “These airbags are very dangerous,” ACCC deputy chair Delia Rickard said. “[They] have the potential to explode with too much force, even in low speed accidents, sending sharp metal fragments into the vehicle at high speed, potentially killing or seriously injuring its occupants.” More than 330 injuries and 30 deaths have reportedly occurred due to faulty Takata

‘‘

registration of your vehicle could be at risk

’’

- Delia Rickard airbags worldwide, with one death and three injuries in Australia. The Takata airbag recall is the world’s largest automotive recall, affecting an estimated 100 million vehicles globally. Under the recall, owners are entitled to have their faulty airbags replaced free of charge. Specialists have replaced airbags in 26,739 Geelong cars, with a further 751 still requiring repair according to the ACCC.

Across Australia 2,711,387 vehicles have had their airbags replaced while 90,898 still require repair. The commission on Monday urged motorists to check their cars and prompt others to do so. “If you know someone … who you think may not know about the recall, tell them about it and offer to help them check their car,” Ms Rickard said. “It takes less than a minute and together we can help reduce the number of dangerous airbags in cars on our roads.” The ACCC is working to educate consumers in communities of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds to check that their car is not under recall.

“It is important that we all help spread the word,” Ms Rickard said. “Anyone whose car is subject to the recall should not delay and contact a dealership to book their car in urgently for a free airbag replacement. “A number of state and territory registration authorities are also imposing registration sanctions in relation to vehicles affected by the compulsory recall. “If you don’t act now, registration of your vehicle could be at risk.” Owners can check if their airbag is affected by entering their number plate and state or territory at ismyairbagsafe.com.au, or by texting ‘TAKATA’ to 0487 AIRBAG (247 224).

Refunds for 6400 parking fines

Cup day glamour off the track The colour, fashion and fascinators of the spring racing carnival were on display as locals celebrated the Melbourne Cup outdoors across Geelong on Tuesday. Piano Bar part-owner Wendy Maloney was thrilled to see most of the 70 people at Geelong Racecourse fully decked out for ‘the race that stops the nation’. “Everyone was enjoying the nice weather and a glass of wine, listening to the music and getting excited for the Melbourne Cup,” she said. “They said it was fabulous and they just loved it.” She described the crowd, the maximum under current COVID-19 restrictions, as a good result given most locals normally take the

Geelong Cup off instead. More than 50 people attended a similar event at Truffleduck in Fyansford, according to commercial director Deb Nash. Irish gelding Twilight Payment won the big race with fellow internationals Tiger Moth and Prince of Arran coming second and third respectively. COVID-19 restrictions banned the usual crowds of about 100,000 from attending this year. One of the pre-race favourites, Anthony Van Dyck, was put down after breaking down with 500m remaining in the race. Racing Victoria confirmed the five-year-old Irish stallion was euthanised after sustaining a

fractured fetlock. The organisation extended its sympathies to the horse’s owners, trainer Aidan O’Brien and staff who “cared for the horse and are greatly saddened by their loss”. Member for Western Victoria Andy Meddick said he was “sickened” by the death and that “Melbourne Cup is beginning to feel like Groundhog Day” with seven horse deaths in seven years. “A racehorse dies every three days on Australian racetracks,” the Animal Justice MP said. “The only difference is on Melbourne Cup day, the whole country is watching.”

Thousands of Geelong motorists could be eligible for refunds on parking fines between 2009 and 2018, City Hall has announced. Up to 6400 infringements totalling about $600,000 are eligible for a refund under a new program that the City of Greater Geelong launched recently. The program covers some fines that residents paid after unsuccessfully appealing their parking infringements. City Hall is issuing the refunds in response to a misinterpretation of processing requirements for parking infringement appeals under the Infringements Act 2006, planning director Gareth Smith explained. “Unfortunately, this was a common issue for many councils across Victoria, with unique ramifications for each individual organisation,” he said. “Due to the City of Greater Geelong’s thorough audit processes, our inquiries found that only 11 per cent of the total 56,000 appeals received by the city during this period are affected. “It is worth noting that it was the processing of reviews that was in breach of the act, not the application of the fine. All fines paid were fairly reviewed and found to be in breach of local laws.” Over the period, a number of Victorian councils delegating the review of some or all infringement appeals to third-party contractors was determined to be in breach of the act. In 2019 Geelong council resolved to refund community members impacted by this issue. Investigations undertaken by the Victorian Ombudsman supported this position. The refund program does not cover any infringements appealed or issued outside of 2009-2018. “We are confident that our current process for reviewing appeals against parking infringements is sound,” Mr Smith said. “All reviews and decisions of appeals against parking infringements issued by the city are conducted by the city’s internal ombudsman.” City Hall says it has sent letters directly to community members eligible for a refund, via the addresses recorded with the infringement appeal.

Regional day care win Children are a constant source of fascination for Marie Althaus, who won a regional award this week after 20 years as a family day carer. “I find it stimulating, the way children think and approach the world – they’re great lateral thinkers,” the Jan Juc grandmother said. Marie, 70, worked as an illustrator at an advertising agency for decades before she began providing day care from home. “The biggest reason was to make a difference,” she said. “It goes beyond your work hours – I lend toys to children and if they’re sick, I’ll drop off toys to their home just to keep them happy for a day or two.” She was “surprised” to win Family Day Care Australia’s award for top educator in Geelong and along the Great Ocean Road.

Family Day Care provides a “highly-regulated” but “flexible” alternative to childcare centres and during school holidays for children between eight weeks and 12 years old, according to Marie. “It fills a niche for a lot of parents,” she said. Apart from not being able to visit local playgrounds with the kids during the lockdowns, COVID-19 restrictions had not made “a huge difference”, Marie said. “The hand-sanitising wasn’t that big an extension – we were already doing a lot of handwashing.” Marie is registered with Surf Coast Shire Family Day Care, which she described as a “professional” and “very supportive” organisation.

Surf Coast burn-off A new 35 kilometre, 40-metre-wide ring of fuel breaks will help protect towns such as Lorne, Aireys Inlet and Anglesea this bushfire season, according to the state government.

and graduate-year nurse Emily Bambrook

Fortunately, Ocean Grove is one of the safer surf beaches within the region. Last season I experienced my most difficult patrol. It was a hot day, the beach was packed, the surf was up and a rip formed directly in front of the club. It was a high-pressure situation to lead. The whole patrol banded together and we managed to rescue seven people and divert the public to a safer swimming area.

What are your favourite things to do locally?

(Louisa Jones) 220142_06

I spend a lot of time down at many of the region’s beaches, mostly going for walks or swimming. I love going out for breakfast and coffee.

Tell us about you…

How have you been involved with OGSLSC?

I’m 21 and from Ocean Grove. This year I completed my bachelor of nursing at Deakin University and I will commence a graduate program in 2021. I have been a volunteer at Ocean Grove Surf Lifesaving Club (OGSLSC) for many years and love spending time down at the beach. I was born in Geelong, attended high school in Drysdale and have spent my whole life growing up here.

I was very sporty as a kid and spent a lot of my spare time trying out new sports. I joined OGSLSC when I was 10 as part of the nipper program and have stayed ever since. What I enjoy most would be the people I have got to meet throughout my time at the club and the opportunity to support the local community. I have been an active patrol member since 2011. Throughout this time, I have been given the

opportunity to gain many new qualifications and work my way up the ranks to the role of patrol captain. In summer 2019-20 I was able to lead my team to achieve a perfect score on our state inspection conducted by Lifesaving Victoria. Recently, I was fortunate enough to be awarded the Fred Leiper Best Patrol Person at OGSLSC’s annual award presentations. I’m currently completing my rescue water craft training, which has been a goal of mine for a while now. Some of my fondest memories

How are you coping with COVID-19? I have spent the last year completing my nursing studies online, while juggling clinical placements on top of that with the risk of exposure to patients with COVID-19. I’m looking forward to being able to travel again, even if it’s just within Australia. COVID-19 has had many effects on lifesaving; for example our competition teams have not been able to attend events or train within a group. Meanwhile, ongoing training has been limited, including how skills maintenance is undertaken in preparation for the upcoming patrol season. I think it could be interesting to see a potential influx of tourists visiting beaches especially due to restrictions in Melbourne easing, and also adapting patrol operations to be COVID-safe, such as additional personal protective equipment and social distancing.

ENTERTAINMENT

Live-stream ‘more than just a gig’ By Luke Voogt With “2020 hindsight” singer-songwriter and multi-talented musician Scott Darlow realised COVID-19 had provided a much-needed chance to unplug from life on the road. “I came back before last Christmas just spent,” the 37-year-old Yorta Yorta musician said. “I’d probably toured too much. “If I had hit the ground running, as I usually do in January, I probably would have fallen apart. “I’ve spent the year really enjoying time with my wife and three kids, eating healthier and getting better sleep patterns.” But as restrictions ease in Victoria, Darlow admits he is keen to return to the stage at Geelong Arts Centre tonight. “It’s probably only the last month or so I’ve been thinking, ‘I wouldn’t mind going out and doing a show’,” he said. The show takes place just days before the beginning of National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee (NAIDOC) Week on Sunday. Like many of his shows, An Evening with Scott Darlow is “more than just a gig”. Between his music, which sounds like a blend of Eskimo Joe and Goanna, he shares how his songs relate to Australian and First Nations culture and history. “If you ever wanted to ask an Aboriginal person a question, here’s the opportunity,” he said. “I hope it will be the prototype for a show which I’ve wanted to do all year, where I help people understand each other.” Darlow described his chats and preambles as an “education-style Trojan Horse” for his audience. “You’ve got to bring them on the journey,” he said. Unlike many in the music industry, he refrained from doing online shows during lockdown, and tonight’s gig is his first “proper” live-stream.

“Once the pandemic hit everybody was doing them,” he said. “If you’re going to do something, you should do it well.” Darlow grew up moving across Australia and Hong Kong with his Salvation Army parents, and learned to play the cornett in a Salvo brass band. “I’m a bit of a gypsy at heart,” he said. He now plays the guitar, didgeridoo and “anything you can blow into”, and his melodic voice belies his rugged appearance. “I’ve got a deeper speaking voice than singing voice,” he said.

‘‘

you’ve got to bring them on the journey

’’

-Scott Darlow

He remembered, with amusement, sending a sample to Eskimo Joe guitarist Joel Quartermain, who collaborated with him on new track You Can’t See Black In The Dark. “When he rang me, he said, ‘who’s the woman singing in the chorus bit?’” Darlow laughed. While he had enjoyed a welcome break during 2020, he was disappointed to have missed more than 100 gigs across Australia, including Brian Mannix’s End of the Line tour. “That was probably the one thing I’ve missed about 2020 the most,” he said. “We had a lot of dates booked and those shows were going to be a lot of fun. “Brian is five minutes’ drive from my house. He’s a superstar of a bloke and a very talented.” Darlow looked forward to seeing how tonight’s show would pan out. “I never really know what I’m going to do until I’m on stage,” he said. “If you’re around on Friday night and you’re in front of the screen or tablet, check me out and say hello – it’ll be a good night.”

Christmas album caps 2020 for grand final singer After leading 30,000 voices singing in unison at the AFL Grand Final, Tim McCallum has capped off a big 2020 with a new Christmas album. The former Geelong local released the record, Let Your Heart Be Light, after performing the national anthem for a television audience of 3.8 million. “I think singing the national anthem at Australia’s largest sporting event is definitely going to be a moment that’s hard to top,” he told the Independent. “That’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. It showed that people with disabilities can demand the centre stage, the prime-time TV slot, the big moment that stops the nation.” To secure the honour, the “long-suffering” St Kilda supporter launched a social media campaign that triggered a response from more than 100,000 people. Now living in Queensland, McCallum was thrilled with the buzz in Brisbane for the grand final amid a crazy year for the AFL. “It was great to see how Brisbane had really embraced the AFL throughout the season,” he said. “You started to see a lot of jumpers and scarves around town. People were talking about it on public transport and at work.” McCallum has performed the Australian and other national anthems more than 300 times, from one-day international cricket finals to the opening of a Canadian ice hockey rink in -15 degrees Celsius. “So singing in the rain [at the grand final] was a walk in the park,” he said. The role was as much about leading the crowd as singing, McCallum said. “You have to choose a key that most people can sing to. I hope my performance was

something the crowd could rise and sing to.” He credited musical director Chong Lim for his “rousing and stirring” arrangement, and said the anthem’s lyrics such as “in joyful strains then let us sing” resonated especially

strongly with Australians this year. “We are straining and times are tough but let’s celebrate the good things in life.” He hoped his new Christmas album would impart a similar message.

“All the songs are messages of love, joy and hope, and that’s something we really need in this time,” he said. McCallum is a regular at dozens of Christmas carol events across Australia and he hoped his album could fill a void with COVID-19 hampering celebrations. “Carols events are going to be done differently all over Australia and the world this year,” he said. The album also features non-carol classics such as Ave Maria and You’ll Never Walk Alone. “When I started looking at songs that I wanted to record, I thought they worked really well over Christmas,” McCallum said. The album is the latest step in McCallum’s journey – that includes competing on The Voice in 2015 – six years after he hit his head on a sand bar and became a quadriplegic at age 18 in 1999. The accident left him unable to control muscles around his diaphragm like most singers, he explained. “It was pretty hard at age 18 to be told you could never sing again,” he said. But after regaining some use of his arms he taught himself a technique pushing down with his hands and regained his impressive voice. “Over the last 20 years I’ve refined it,” he said. “Specialists and doctors are amazed at what I can do because they’ve never seen it before. Now I’m lucky to teach it to other people at the spinal unit in Brisbane.” The Independent is giving away 20 signed copies of Tim McCallum’s new album Let Your Heart Be Light.

Little indulgence goes a long way D

onna Copperwaite believes there is something special about the Queenscliff Day Spa. The spa, which has been in the town for 20 years, overlooks the harbour, creating the perfect spot for people to sit back, relax and enjoy being pampered while soaking up the view. “When you first walk in, all you see is the harbour and the marina,” Donna says. “There are not many places where you can have a wax and overlook the harbour. “We do a lot of group bookings …we do a lot of pedicures like that because they can sit four at a time overlooking the harbour and we also have a balcony where you can have nibbles and bubbles.” Donna, who has worked at the day spa for about 15 years, took over the business last December.

16 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 6 November, 2020

There are not many places where you can have a wax and overlook the harbour She says 2020 has been a challenging time to own a small business. “We were closed 17 weeks all up,” she says. “But it’s not just the times we were closed, it’s the weeks leading up to and the backside as well. “The weeks leading up to the first lockdown were really quiet and people didn’t know what to do. When we were opened [for the second time] we were busy but it has started to quieten down again.”

Donna says the day spa’s regular clients hail from Queenscliff and Melbourne, resulting in a loss of business. The spa’s inability to offer facials – as face masks must be worn during all treatments – is also impacting business, she says. “But we do offer a large range of services. LED, microdermabrasion, hydro dermabrasion, body scrubs, body wraps, remedial massage where you can get a health rebate with certain therapists, manicures, pedicures, waxing, tinting, lash lift – we are our locals’ beauty clinic. “We do have a COVIDSafe plan and are really strict with hygiene and sanitising – we always have been. “The therapists aren’t allowed to work if they are sick.” In an effort to support other small businesses, Queenscliff Day Spa is focusing on using and

selling as many Australian-made products as possible. Donna has also turned to local businesses to help her refresh the spa’s décor. “Our cosmetical range is Australian … all our gifts are Australian. We are trying to use as much Australian-made as we can. “As a family, and I can speak for the other girls here as well, we are all about supporting the town … We would rather the money stays here.” She hopes other locals will show their support for business across the region. “In a town like this – and the whole Bellarine – you rely on tourism. “In the lead-up to Christmas, we have a really large range of gifts and gift vouchers … [Queenscliff] is a nice place to explore.” Queenscliff Day Spa is at level one, Queenscliff Harbour.

Tantalise your senses a mob of surprised sheep and a couple of hundred lavender and rosemary plants that we laboriously hand planted. “As the time has moved on and we discovered more about the native plants of the area, with the help of the great team at the local Landcare, we have added a selection of tea trees, eucalypts, hop bushes, and also pelargonium, geraniums, jasmines, echinacea and pretty much a bit of anything with an interesting smell, colour and positive properties.” It has been and remains a steep learning curve, and 2020 has been tough on a number of fronts for everyone, Chloe said. “On the upside, there has been an increasing interest at home and abroad in the amazing unique plants and properties that Australia has to offer. We are excited to be working with our local specialists to develop what we hope is going to be a suite of unique to the area botanically-derived products and have just

taken delivery of our 500 litre still which we are looking forward to putting to good use for essential oils in the coming months,” she said. “As people start to look closer to home, and rediscover their doorsteps due to the travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19, we are excited with the potential and opportunity that exists to build our product range and work with other local producers to add another interesting and vibrant stop to the Bellarine taste trail. “This summer, once La Nina and COVID-19 soften, should see some exciting growth beyond the fields so watch this space. “In the meantime we are taking orders and pre orders online, and offering free local delivery.” Stay in touch via Shire House Farm’s social media feeds or joining the mailing list online. www.shirehousefarm.com.au Facebook and Instagram @shirehousefarm

usiness is blooming for Ocean Grove florist Shelley Keast. While Victorians have been staying apart to stay together, Shelley of Beachside Blooms says people are still finding ways to share their love for one another. “COVID has been good for all in the flower industry, from the growers to the customer,” she says. “No one could visit, give gifts or have parties, so flowers were a way for them to keep in touch with loved ones.” Spending time in her auntie’s florist shop throughout her teenage years, Shelley found herself with a raw talent for botanical design. After years working in the industry, she opened her florist at The Terrace in 2007 selling fresh cut flowers, plants, pots and limited giftware. Shelley has become heavily involved in the local community, using local flower growers

Finding steadiness in ‘wobbly’ times Rachael Hely from Barwon Heads Yoga says she will “never, ever forget” how her regular students have supported her business during the pandemic. Ms Hely, who has been teaching yoga for 17 years, has been running Barwon Heads Yoga for a decade. “So many of my students and clients are now really good friends,” she said. “I am so unbelievably grateful that they support me in what I do.” Ms Hely said that her whole business model “turned on its head in March” when the pandemic struck Victoria. She began taking classes through Facebook Live, offering them for free. Hundreds of people joined the classes, including some interstate and New Zealand. “I knew that many of my community would be suffering financially and I wanted to not only support them in their practice, but to remind them how to find an inherent steadiness in such wobbly, weird times,” Ms Hely said. During term two, she began running Zoom classes, with her friend Sean McPhillips from Mighty Films lending her a portable microphone to help out. Ms Hely later moved her large group teaching sessions to an on-demand platform, via Zoom, and also ran private classes with permitted student numbers. When regional Victoria went into stage

three lockdown in August, she kept going with on-demand Zoom recordings and one-on-one physiotherapy-led, private sessions. Ms Hely said her on-demand platform has tripled in size since the beginning of the pandemic. “My students are now mostly doing at least three classes per week rather than one,” she said. Ms Hely said that sales of a book she wrote

last summer, titled So, A Year in Yoga, also increased during the pandemic. “With the initial sharing and spreading of the Facebook Live classes, more people could get a feel for how I teach,” she said. “This meant book sales also went up. That was the most unexpected aspect of this whole ride.” Ms Hely encouraged residents to support local businesses.

“If you want to see the local business you love here next year, now is the time to support them,” she said. “We are local people serving local people. “We know and love this town and the coast: it’s also our playground, our shelter, our home. “We know about your world and we care about your experience with us.” Details: www.barwonheadsyoga.com.au

Local support sweetens COVID L

eanne and Ian Neeland are praising the efforts of local regional Victorians for continually supporting the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery. With many hospitality businesses across the state forced to shut their doors to in-store dining due to strict COVID-19 restrictions, Leanne said her business has been trading “well below” usual revenue for the past seven months. “These are extremely difficult times. It’s been difficult to run a tourism and hospitality business in Victoria,” she said. “We laid off about 70 per cent of our staff and we had to really diversify the business. “Anything that could go into a do-it-yourself kit or into an activity to do at home. “We had lots of challenges. We had to change our business from serving customers and them coming in and choosing their own chocolates to us picking and packing and shipping.”

The locals and regional Victoria have really stepped up To stay afloat during the pandemic, Leanne and Ian made the decision to transition their factory to an online shop. Ian said the transition was the lifeline that kept the chocolaterie in business. “It has allowed us to keep connected to our customers. They were the foundation for the online sales and we have been able to grow,” he said. “It allowed us to really keep the core staff and continue to trade, otherwise if we just relied on people walking through the door we would have closed.” However Leanne said the factory relied heavily on Melbourne tourists, who were unable to travel to regional Victoria. “The locals and regional Victoria have really stepped up,” she said. “We’ve seen a fantastic response … but because we are regional Victoria, we haven’t got our Melbourne customers and they are a huge part of our revenue base and visitor base. “Financially we are still well behind last year. “We appreciate the support of our locals. They are the foundation of the business and they are the ones who can bring their visiting friends and family when people can start moving around.” The Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie and Ice Creamery is at 1200 Great Ocean Road, Bellbrae.

eelong may be a long way from Chicago, but at The 18th Amendment you will feel like you are right there. And not just any Chicago, with this hidden speakeasy taking locals back to the prohibition era of the 1920s as you enjoy world class cocktails and spirits. Operations manager Damien Kos-Beckwith said they had made the bar as authentic as they could. “We play up to that era a fair bit with our drink names and our overall theme, and people really embrace that when they come along,” Mr Kos-Beckwith said. “While we’re on the main street of Geelong, it is a bit hidden away. But once you open the door to the venue it is quite glamorous with the rose gold and lots of velvet so you feel like you’re back in that era. “We’ve been around for three years now, and pre-pandemic we always filled up pretty quick and never really quietened down until earlier this year.” With the current restrictions on indoor gatherings, the bar has reduced it’s capacity and has also introduced an online booking system with patrons able to come and enjoy a drink in two hour blocks. Once you’re there you can try a number of the bar’s signature drinks, such as the “Boardwalk Empire”, the “Shimmy Shimmy” or the “Harlem Sunset” as well as all the old classics. “We’ve got over 500 spirits on the bar, so we’ve got our own signature drinks but we do all your classics if that takes your fancy,” Mr Kos-Beckwith said. “The public has been great supporting us through this year and we can’t wait to welcome more people in to enjoy a drink with us.” Details: the18thamendmentbar.com.au

Museum celebrates Geelong N

ow is the perfect time to be a tourist in your own backyard, with no better place to start than at your very own museum, Geelong’s iconic National Wool Museum. While we wait for Victoria’s restrictions to lift and for the museum to re-open you can visit the online exhibitions Geelong Heritage Collections, We The Makers and We The Makers Create – you can even join in and participate in one of the online workshops. Geelong Heritage Collections is the digital gateway to the City of Greater Geelong’s extraordinary heritage collection. There are 50 handpicked treasures from the collection curated by the themes: War, Wool and Work. The oldest artefacts in the collection date to the 1790s. There are mayoral chains, industrial machines and extensive maritime and wool collections. This exhibition is ideal for history buffs and lovers of Geelong. In time, more Geelong regional treasures will be added. Digital exhibition We The Makers is a designer showcase of sustainable fashion. The 21 makers respond to the challenges we face as a global community of consumers and produce solutions in the fashion industry. You can view their impressive works online, find out how they combat fast fashion and ‘meet the makers.’ We The Makers Create builds on the designer showcase. It’s a chance for you to be inspired, learn new skills and start to help reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry. Learn skills such as mask making, mending, natural dyeing and more. Whether you’re a beginner or professional, learn at your own pace to create something wonderful to show off to your friends and family. The National Wool Museum is also hosting a series of live online events in November. Watch the pre-recorded courses on the We The Makers Create website at your own pace, then take the opportunity to meet the artists behind the event in small group sessions to ask your burning questions.

These events will be run on Zoom in a meeting-style format where all attendees can use their cameras and will be given the opportunity to speak directly with the artist. Courses include ‘How To Build a Sustainable Wardrobe with Courtney Holm’, ‘Creative Mending with Ruth Woods’, ‘Refashioning with Ana Fernanda Covarrubias’, ‘Electrical Jewellery with Vivian Qui’, and ‘Natural Dyeing with Tamara Leakcock.’ National Wool Museum director Padraic Fisher said people should visit the website to find out more details and plan their virtual and future visits.

“The National Wool Museum is your museum, we thank the entire Geelong community for over 30 years of enduring support, your patience and spirit of togetherness during these hard COVID times,” he said. “We have been hard at work giving the place a spruce-up and updating our wool, fibre and textile galleries in preparation of re-opening, please keep a lookout for re-opening announcements. We look forward to welcoming you back.” Mr Fisher said the National Wool Museum is busy planning for its reopening and has two remarkable exhibitions lined-up.

The first is How Cities Work from Sydney Living Museums, adapted from Lonely Planet Kids’ bestselling book by illustrator James Gulliver Hancock. The other is Wildlife Photographer of the Year, which returns to the National Wool Museum as its exclusive Victorian venue. The museum shop is already open and a must-visit for locals and those passing through, featuring quality and local products including Emu Ugg boots, beautiful merino and possum clothing, wool socks, hats and gloves, souvenirs and much more – just in-time for your Christmas shopping bargains.

Wrapped up in joy When passengers disembark from the Port Phillip Ferry in Port Arlington, one of their first sights is the Pier View Lolly Shop, surely one of the most happiness-inducing stores on the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula. The shop is chock-full of amazing lollies, a paradise for every local kid (and the grown-ups) – plus the families who visit on day trips and long, lazy holidays. It’s an institution, an unmissable experience, and has been since Greg Ollis opened the doors to sugar heaven six years ago. No less than 300 lolly varieties from the US, the Netherlands, UK, New Zealand and Australia are there to be discovered – some in jars, others in wrappers, and still more ready to be hand-picked from containers and put in old-school paper bags. Some of the lollies are familiar; others less so. Some ooze with nostalgia – think chicos, caramel buds, Jaffas, humbugs and jelly babies, among oodles of others. The ones from the US take shop visitors straight to an American sitcom set, with wrapped bars such as Hershey’s, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Tootsie Rolls and Twinkies. The UK’s finest are well represented – for example, Caramac, Victory V and Daim bars,

Fry’s Peppermint Cream, and Blackpool Rock, and more. And the Netherlands selection will have liquorice lovers doing handstands – in fact, lovers of ‘black’ lollies of all types are truly spoilt for choice here. To add decadence to indulgence, Greg also sells milk and thick shakes, slush puppies, and 20 flavours of locally made Nordenfine ice cream. Bliss anyone? There’s nothing like a visit to the shop, but when COVID struck Greg moved quickly to adapt.

One of the first things he did during the first closure was connect with Tourism Greater Geelong & Bellarine, who offered free advice and help with building a website for online orders. That’s now going well, with orders pouring in from all over – even a lady from Coffs Harbour puts in her regular order. Like every business, the Pier View Lolly Shop has faced unique challenges this year, but Greg says his customers stepped up in support, keeping the Port Arlington landmark ticking over. He reckons the gratitude from him, wife Judy, and his young, exceptional seasonal

crew can’t be overstated, the backing the shop received literally bringing a tear to his eye. A busy TAFE teacher in his former life, Greg is loving bringing joy to his customers, young and old. And isn’t that we all need right now? Lolly hampers and gift vouchers are available, and delivery within 15 kilometres is free for purchases above $10.

Ready for a historic rebirth Q

ueenscliffe Historical Museum resembles a big empty cavern after more than a dozen dedicated volunteers packaged and catalogued tens of thousands of items beginning in March. “It’s a great credit to those volunteers,” says museum president Garry Spry. “It’s taken us the best part of six months to move everything. “There’s something like 20,000-plus items in our museum, most of which have been moved to a location in Point Lonsdale. “The more delicate items that have to be carefully protected from humidity and light are in storage at Queenscliffe Maritime Museum.” The timing of the move, to make way for the museum’s most significant development since it was built, has proven to be a rare silver lining of COVID-19. The museum’s committee initially planned the move for May but brought it forward as the pandemic was about to hit Australia. “In our case it’s been timely in the sense that we’ve been able to pack up and move without too much inconvenience to the public,” Garry says. “We’ve just been forging ahead despite the difficulties of COVID-19. And our research activities have not missed a beat right through the COVID-19 lockdown.” The research includes a project by the museum’s Diana Sawyer and university students to analyse the impacts of COVID-19 on the Borough of Queenscliffe. “That is a magnificent thesis that’s about to be released,” Garry says. The move clears the way for a brand-new community hub, which received $5.7 million in joint council, state and federal funding last year. “Demolition is expected to commence before Christmas or shortly after, and construction of the new building will begin in the new year,” Garry says.

The hub will be the new home of the museum, along with Queenscliff’s library and information centre. “When it’s built, I think the community will be enormously proud of the finished product,” Garry says.

In the meantime, the museum’s committee has negotiated for a temporary exhibition to open on November 16 at the tavern, which has been vacant for two years. “It will also provide the public with a vocal point for those three services while the new

building is being constructed,” Garry says. “We’ll be putting on a very small static display. We’re very keen to open up as soon as we can.” Details: www.historyofqueenscliffe.com

MINISERIES: ROADKILL ABC, 8.40pm

There are times when it seems the words “politician” and “scandal” go hand in hand and it is certainly the case in this four-part series behind the doors of London’s Number 10. Hugh Laurie (pictured, House) is Peter Laurence, a politician with eyes on the top job. But revelations of a past affair and a love-child locked up threaten to unravel his plans. Tonight, as journalist Charmian Pepper (Sarah Greene) investigates Peter’s links with an American think tank, his daughter Lily (Millie Brady) uncovers his affair.

ADDICTED AUSTRALIA SBS, 8.35pm

This new four-part series isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions. It follows 10 Australians battling addiction as they move through a six-month treatment program. We watch as each person – who was brave and vulnerable enough to ask for help – navigates how to find a better way for themselves and their families. It’s not always easy viewing, but it is important. Addiction doesn’t discriminate, it can happen to anyone. As Sarah )pictured) says, “I don’t look like a drug addict, so I’ve been told”. This series does a great job of asking us to break down the barriers and become better informed on the nuanced issues around addiction and recovery. A mustwatch.

They say we’ll have up to eight different careers in our working life, but that doesn’t make starting over easy. In The Rookie, Nathan Fillion (Castle) stars as John, who has been navigating the ups and downs as a trainee police officer in this action-packed crime comedy-drama.

A hole lot of family fun F

amilies seeking a fun day out need look no further than Wallington for an activity that is well above par. With 36 holes weaving through pristine gardens on a six-acre site, Bellarine Adventure Golf is the ideal way to bring together generations for a ‘hole’ lot of fun. Co-owner Sarah Webb said one of the highlights is seeing the way families can all join in regardless of age. “We’re really proud we offer an activity that all generations can do together,” she said. “There are not many things you can take a three-year-old to and your 90-year-old grandparent to. It’s not just me hoping that is the case, they really do come.”

It’s a bit of a hidden gem … we have a lot of beautiful gardens While this brings joy to Ms Webb, the online reviews suggest it does the same for the visitors. “I was reading through a few reviews and they say ‘we all had a great time’ and that’s the thing, it’s not just the kids playing and the adults watching, they all get in there and have a go together,” she said. Ms Webb also enjoys the way everyone who visits for the first time reacts with surprise when they discover the extensive garden setting. “It’s a bit of a hidden gem. We are on six acres and we have a lot of beautiful gardens the course is set in and they’re looking amazing at the moment,” she said. “With all the rain we’ve been having everything is green and gorgeous.” Ms Webb said people are also surprised to discover there are actually two 18-hole courses

from which to choose, offering 36 holes in total. Reflecting on the difficult year everyone has faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ms Webb said it has been rewarding to see the way Bellarine Adventure Golf has become a destination where people can share in the fun in a safe and socially distanced way. “The fact it’s all outdoors and in the gardens means people are appreciating that they’re

not locked away,” she said. “It’s a way to get your outdoor recreation and just have a good time.” The “ring of steel” around Melbourne put a hold on visitors from Melbourne, but Ms Webb said families are still coming from far and wide to enjoy a day out, many making the trip down from Ballarat. Bellarine Adventure Golf is currently open

from 10am to 5pm Thursday to Monday at 1532-1540 Bellarine Highway, Wallington. Prices range from $11 for children under 16 to play 18 holes to $64 for a family of four to play 36 holes. Visit www.bellarineadventuregolf.com for further details and the Facebook page for upcoming promotions.

Celebrate world’s ‘oldest’ culture T

he word Narana means ‘deep listening’ – and it’s something many are keen to share more of. Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre senior manager Melesa Osborne said the business, in the new suburb of Charlemont, aimed to educate visitors about the world’s oldest culture. “We have a cafe, an exhibition centre, a quality art gallery and shop, and a few acres of garden with friendly kangaroos, wallabies and emus that can be hand-fed,” she said. “The word Narana means ‘deep listening’ of the type that you take in and give out.

Summer in our own backyard is going to be magnificent “We aim to educate visitors about the amazing culture of First Nations peoples, the oldest living culture in the world. That’s something all Australians should be amazed and proud of.” During the COVID-19 pandemic, Narana partnered with Kangaroo Jack, who previously hosted guided tours. “He designed face masks with Aboriginal artwork and the sale of these has meant that our shop remained open during this last lockdown,” Ms Osborne said. “We have also increased the merchandise in our online store, which has been really popular. “People have been so supportive of our shop during this time and everyone’s attitude has been really positive. There has been a real sense of community that has been a highlight of what is a very disruptive situation.”

Ms Osborne said since the garden reopened, the animals had been very keen to see everyone back – not least because of the seed visitors bought to feed them. Human visitors have also enjoyed one of

Narana’s signature dishes to lift their spirits: lemon myrtle scones with freshly-whipped cream and jam. “Summer in our own backyard is going to be magnificent,” Ms Osborne said.

Narana Aboriginal Cultural Centre at 410 Torquay Road, Charlemont, is open Monday-Friday 9am-5pm, and weekends from 9am-4pm. Details: www.narana.com.au or 5241 5700

Fort Queenscliff Museum is ready to reopen to the public later this month. Top right: Solders operate a six-inch gun at Queenscliff Fort in 1929. (Pictures: Supplied)

Fort Queenscliff ready for reopening Fort Queenscliff Museum’s tour guides are preparing to share 160 years of history, with the site ready to reopen to the public later this month. “That’s what we’re there for,” says Evan Donohue, secretary of Fort Queenscliff Heritage Association. “The circumstances will be new to all of us so we will have to have a retraining session for the guides.” The fort is an important part of Victorian history, according to Mr Donohue.

28 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 6 November, 2020

The site dates back to 1860 when British Imperial forces constructed an open battery. The fort’s iconic walls are more than 130 years old and were built in a major redevelopment from 1882 to 1887. The site opened to the public in 1998 for tours of its gun installations, underground magazines, heritage buildings, working lighthouse and museum. COVID-19 halted these tours, like at so many other historic sites in Victoria.

But contractors, guides and army reservists alike have been busy repainting, reroofing and resurfacing the site during the closure, according to museum manager Major Martin Gowling. “We certainly haven’t been idle,” he says. “A lot of restoration work is going on while the public don’t have access to the museum. “All our tour guides have been on JobKeeper but have been doing some work around the fort.

“We’re probably just over three quarters finished remodelling the museum and putting together new exhibits.” Major Gowling is awaiting advice from the Department of Defence, the museum’s owner, and Victorian health authorities for a reopening date. “The way things are going we hope to open by mid-November. At the worst case we’d want to be open before the next school holidays.”

The live music venue is one of several tourist venues in the Geelong region that hasn’t been able to operate since March. Mr Armstrong said it was unlikely that the business would be able to have live concerts again this year. The Blues Train, which is a combined music and steam train travel experience, was inspired by stories of the old blues masters jamming on freight trains around America’s deep south. “We’re trying, but we’re still a long way to go,” he said. “We’re a social gathering that puts people on a train, it’s not something that can be take-away coffee and pizzas.

There’s been so many people reaching out and wanting to help “We still can’t access the train to see what we can do. The music industry has a long way to go.” Mr Armstrong set up a GoFundMe page to help raise funds to keep the business afloat, which has raised more than $40,000. He himself has poured $20,000 of his own superannuation into the business to keep it afloat, with the bills still piling in each month. He said that they had been overwhelmed by the positive support they’ve had. “There’s been so many people reaching out and wanting to help the business.” They’re set to host a couple of live stream concerts in the coming weeks, to give some of their audience a taste of what they’ve been missing out on.” Mr Armstrong is hopeful that when they are allowed to open up the tourists will return and enjoy the show that has run for 26 years and been watched by more than 150,000. “We’re going to have big Christmas hampers available soon and there’s merchandise available for sale. “The next few weeks we’ll have gift vouchers on sale. What’s better than buying someone an experience that they have plenty of time to use. “We’re also hoping people can join our email list and make a donation. If you’re on the list, you’ll know when you can come back.” Details: www.gofundme.com/f/ thebluestrain2020

Welcome home W

ith coronavirus restrictions eased, now is the perfect time to be a tourist in your own backyard. Tourism Greater Geelong & The Bellarine acting executive director Tracy Carter says exploring the region will help local businesses as they emerge from a challenging time. “There’s so much to offer in a compact space. In Geelong, there are some really great places to eat and drink, and cultural venues attracting world-class performances and exhibits,” she says. “Within about half an hour of the CBD you

can surf, drink award-winning wine, climb a mountain or set sail on a boat adventure. The region really is greater than the sum of its parts.” According to Ms Carter, the coastal drive from Portarlington to St Leonards is one of the region’s “under appreciated” tourism experiences, offering plenty of places to “stop and splash” and great options for eating, drinking and shopping at either end.

Golf bug catches on W

hen too much golf is never enough, Lonsdale Links is the place to be this summer. The course is at the tail end of a $25 million redevelopment of the 18-hole course, which will also include a new clubhouse and other facilities. It will be a welcome boost for the club and it’s golfers, who have been on a reduced nine hole course for the past two years. Marketing manager Allie Cosgrove said with most other sports cancelled this year, there had been a number of new participants out on the course and eager to give the sport a try. “We’ve seen a real surge in golf, just by being one of the few sports people could play during the restrictions,” Ms Cosgrove said. “We’re used to being a bit quieter in winter, but it was a real boom time for us, which was great to see. “It’s disappointing that we haven’t been able to welcome our Melbourne-based members to enjoy the facilities, but we’re looking forward to welcoming them back in time for the full re-opening of the course in December.” The club has continued to operate its hospitality options in a take-away capacity throughout the pandemic, and has started welcoming diners back over the past few weeks. Ms Cosgrove said she hoped some of the new players to the course had caught the golfing bug and would make Lonsdale Links a regular part of their recreation. “We hope that in the time that people have been getting into golf, and it is quite an addictive sport, that they might want to stay on and we can make a lifelong golfer out of them,” she said. “We’ve still got quite high demand at the moment, but with more holes opening up in mid to late-December we will be able to have even more people down to play at this wonderful course.”

Geelong Dive Centre is hoping to help get divers back in the water soon. (Pictures: Supplied)

Unlock wonders of the underwater world Geelong Dive Centre is hoping it can help divers return to the water soon. The centre has had to put its diving lessons on hold due to COVID-19 with its last lessons held in March. But the family-owned business has been trying to keep things ticking over by offering at-home eLearning for the theory component of dive courses. The full audio-visual course allows students

32 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 6 November, 2020

to work at their own pace anywhere in the world and means more time in the water later on when restrictions allow. The centre’s shop is still open and there’s an online shop for people’s diving needs. The business, which is located on Moorabool Street, has been in the area since 1983 and is a one-stop-shop for everything scuba, spearfishing, snorkelling, freediving and archery related.

Also at the centre, is a Dive Museum which showcases an impressive collection of older diving equipment that stretches back to the early days of diving. Dave Summers runs the business and has an intense passion for the underwater world. He began snorkelling and spearfishing, buying the Geelong Dive Centre at the age of 19. Summers is the senior training officer

at the centre and enjoys introducing his students to the wonders of the underwater world. “We pride ourselves on our success to train confident, safe divers using the most current teaching methods and most modern equipment and facilities available,” the centre’s website states. Details: www.divein2scuba.com.au/

Raring to get back on track D

espite the restrictions that COVID-19 has placed on all of us, the Bellarine Railway has reassured that it will reopen as soon as it is safe to do so. The volunteers are looking forward to welcoming the public back with a COVID safe plan in place and have thanked everyone for the support they have given so far. Members of the public have supported the railway by purchasing vouchers to use when it reopens and even calling (from as far as Benalla) to find out when the reopening date is. A number of the railway’s awesome volunteers have returned to continue with work on carriages, locomotive maintenance and important projects at their workshops (at a social distance) and by taking ‘homework’ to do in their own garages. One such project reached a milestone at the end of June when the Australian Standard

Garrett was moved into the Queenscliff workshop. Originally from the Fyansford Cement Works, the steam locomotive reached a milestone when it was moved undercover for the first time since 1964. The locomotives are lovingly and painstakingly restored by the Geelong Steam Preservation Society. The work is carried out in a large shed known as ‘the yards’ only a few hundred metres from the Queenscliff station. New volunteers are always welcome at ‘the yards’, which has become something of an unofficial Men’s Shed. While no passenger trains have been operating, track work and test trains are still running. These can occur at any time. See bellarinerailway.com.au for more information.

Rental option gives independence and peace of mind With only the minority of Australian seniors meeting the recommended level of physical activity, paying closer attention to health and wellbeing when reaching the age of 55 becomes increasingly important, agrees Fiona Olin, community manager at Ingenia Gardens Geelong. “Maintaining resident independence is a key focus at rental retirement community, Ingenia Gardens, where residents enjoy free access to a dedicated care co-ordination service,” she says. Ingenia Gardens also delivers great-value rental options for independent seniors looking to downsize from their family home to a more manageable space – with minimal maintenance – or who are simply searching for social connection with like-minded people. “The fundamentals of safety, independence and flexibility are crucial for residents; our unique rental model is ideal for those searching for an alternative to traditional buy-in retirement villages or aged care facilities,” Fiona continues. “Our residents love the fact they can come and go as they please, feel safe and secure and feel like they belong to a caring community. “We have so many satisfied residents, who have expressed how reassuring it has been to know that there is a community manager and a group of neighbours looking out for them. “And there’s always something to do.” Besides participating in the regular fun activities, residents take advantage of the free care co-ordination service, Ingenia Care. The core focus of Ingenia Care is to connect residents with the assistance they need to improve their overall health and wellbeing, and in particular their independence to enjoy a better quality of life. Recent health concerns have prompted residents to register with the value-add service

which has allowed residents to experience increased independence. “The longer you stay independent, the healthier you will stay. The support services co-ordinated by Ingenia Care also provide much-needed peace of mind for the families of our residents,” Fiona says.

“Our residents enjoy the freedom of ageing-in-place and the comfort of knowing that the Ingenia Care co-ordination team are there for them if they have questions about their government-funded care package or entitlements – such as access to technology and wellbeing programs.”

A beautiful life at Geelong Grove A life of independence, security and friendship for retirees is the enticing offer from Geelong Grove Retirement Community. The pretty village, with a relaxed environment of wide streets and thriving gardens, is five kilometres south of Geelong and a short car trip from picturesque Corio Bay and beautiful beaches. Whatever you are looking for in your retirement, says village and sales manager Peter Hinck, you will be spoilt for choice in this welcoming community. “Geelong Grove is close to University, Epworth and St John of God hospitals. Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre is nearby, with major supermarkets, cafes and professional services. And you are never too far away from a golf course, with Barwon Valley Golf club also within easy reach.” He adds that public transport is made easy, with bus stops right outside the village gates, along with a village bus which caters for weekly shopping trips and other community outings. “Each single-storey home has generous living spaces, along with a private courtyard where you can create your own garden – whether it’s flowers, vegetables or herbs,” Peter days. “It’s a great place for families to visit and to enjoy barbecues – or for just sitting back and relaxing, reading a book in the sun. Geelong Grove caters for everyone. “Social activities are right on the doorstep for when the mood strikes. There’s always something to do – from bus trips to fashion shows to catching up with friends and neighbours in the community centre. “There’s the gym for workouts, regular group exercise classes, and the woodwork shed for the tinkerers. Or perhaps get into some friendly competition by hitting the green for lawn

Hear the things you’ve been missing Looking after Geelong residents for nearly 40 years, Geelong Hearing Aid Services has a team with a passion for hearing health and helping people to hear the things they’ve been missing. Audiologist Ashlee Willis says hearing issues can negatively affect all sorts of occasions – such as noisy restaurants, watching the footy and listening to music. But she and her team want to make sure everyone can get back to hearing everything they want to. “2020 has been hard for everyone, especially those with hearing loss,” Ashlee says. “Physical distancing measures and face masks put extra strain on those with hearing loss due to the muffling of our voices and not being able to lip read to help understand. “But despite the huge toll hearing loss can have on health and wellbeing, only one in five people who could benefit from wearing hearing aids actually uses them. “There are so many options available when it comes to hearing aids. The days of big and

bulky are over, with more than one style and size to suit everybody. “Hearing aids can and will change life for the better. With Christmas just around the corner and high hopes that we will be able to spend it with our loved ones this year, we are here to help people make sure they can make the most of the time with family and ensure they won’t miss those important moments.” Ashlee adds that now’s the time to help improve hearing issues – and simultaneously support independent local businesses. “Come and have a chat about what we can do to help.” The clinic sells and services all major hearing aid brands – for everyone, whether funded through a pension card, DVA, WorkSafe, TAC or self-funded.

Living the good life Joyce is following celebrity chefs on television and whipping up a storm in her kitchen, while Marea is never happier than when doing embroidery – including creating a three dimensional house. And, thanks to their home care packages through Uniting AgeWell, both are living their best lives at home and excited about catching up with friends and family now that coronavirus restrictions are lifting. Joyce Galea, 75, loves cooking “anything and everything” for her husband, Jerry, 80, who has dementia and is confined to his bed after a neck injury. She has painful arthritis and can’t lift him, so a personal carer visits each day and Joyce gets help with housework and gardening. She takes special pride when she uses the produce from the 22 fruit trees in her garden. “We have a lemon tree and the other day I made lemon chicken casserole,” Joyce said. “It tasted wonderful.” Marea McGuire, 81, lives alone and has turned one of the two bedrooms in her apartment into an arts and crafts haven for all her embroidery and patchwork art. “I’ve had a few falls and my health is not that great, so I get help three days a week with the housework,” Marea said. “The carer, Anthea, is a wonderful companion and is helping me organise my crafts room.” Joyce and Marea are among the thousands of clients that Uniting AgeWell, a not-for-profit aged care provider, has across Tasmania and Victoria – with many in Geelong. Kaye Hollingworth, Uniting AgeWell client advisor, Barwon, says with 80 per cent of clients living alone, extra welfare checks and one-on-one visits are being done. Kaye says an upside to the pandemic is that many people adjusted their home care packages

to buy computer tablets and equipment such as scooters and even install ramps for their homes to enable them to live more independently. Now that things are getting back to normal, they’ll be able to continue living their easiest best lives possible. Kaye says the pandemic has taken its toll on family carers who reported being exhausted, with a growing need for respite care. Uniting AgeWell provides respite in the home as well as centre-based respite. To meet

this demand, all Uniting AgeWell residential communities, including Uniting AgeWell Kalkee Murray and Nangatta Communities in Geelong, are offering a special respite package of a three week stay for the price of two. Kaye says not only does it give the carers a break, but many of those coming in for short-term stays love the camaraderie and support so much they end up staying! And with all the usual art and recreational activities, plus the recent festivities for the AFL

Grand Final and Halloween at the Belmont communities, it’s not hard to see why. It’s also useful for those recovering from a hospital procedure who need extra care before returning home. The facilities offer 24-hour specialist clinical and dementia care.

Put your teeth in good hands Recently awarded a top business award from Three Best Rated, Norlane Dental Surgery has been providing patients with exceptional dentistry for more than 30 years – so long that the nine-strong team is now welcoming third generation patients. It’s easy to understand why this dental practice has thrived. Not only does it have a team of experts – headed up by Dr Rashi Gupta, a passionate senior dental surgeon with nearly 20 years’ experience – but it also provides every aspect of dentistry for all ages, in the one place. Dr Gupta has a particular interest in implants, employing the well-known All-On-4™ procedure which, she says, has many benefits for suitable patients. “Implants don’t suit all patients, as is the case for bridges,” Dr Gupta explains. “But we offer free consultations to determine their suitability. “The advantages of implants are many, including that the teeth are fixed, with no movement such as found with dentures. They look, function and feel like real teeth, dramatically improving aesthetics, and are easily maintained. For the right patient, the success rate is high.” Another important aspect for many families is the availability of sleep dentistry. “Sleep dentistry is great for patients needing multiple procedures. It’s also an excellent option for school-aged children, who may be scared or can’t sit still – for a variety of reasons. It’s safe and calming, and parents feel more confident knowing their little one’s anxiety is allayed and treatments can proceed peacefully and without fear.” The practice is at the forefront of new technology in all aspects of dentistry, including employing the best digital practices to enhance patient experience.

Dr Rashi Gupta and Dr Benjamin Pham. (Louisa Jones)

“We offer 3D and digital x-rays, as well as Cerec (same-day crowns), as well as Invisalign™ which, unlike conventional braces uses no wires or metal, making them virtually undetectable. “As well, we offer Zoom! Whitening, which can ‘unlock’ a smile up to eight shades whiter in about an hour. The most obvious benefit of teeth whitening is an enhanced, whiter

and brighter smile, which improves your appearance and boosts self-confidence, but it also kills bacteria that may cause gum disease and/or tooth decay.” Dreaded dental emergencies are taken care of, while Dr Gupta also notes that children may be eligible for free dental services via the Child Dental Benefit Schedule.

“We believe everyone deserves excellent quality dentistry and our goal is always to help patients achieve optimum outcomes.” Norlane Dental Surgery, 124 Sparks Road, Norlane. Inquiries: 5278 2666 or www.norlanedental.com.au

FEATURING ... AUTO

Cute Kia Picanto an ideal urban ride are adjustable vertically, rare in this grade of vehicle. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excellent and functional storage spaces including two adjustable cup holders and an alcove for a smartphone at the base of the front console with a USB port.

Kia Picanto is the smallest car in the high-flying Korean brandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s range. It has been on sale here since 2016 and currently, with more than 80 per cent of total sales, it dominates the â&#x20AC;&#x201C; admittedly very small â&#x20AC;&#x201C; micro car market segment. Small city cars have historically been poor sellers in Australia which is a shame as these small and affordable economy cars are really all that many urban dwellers need. The primary buyer profile for Picanto will be late-teen / early 20s females, with a smattering of baby boomers taking up the slack. Those at the young end of the age scale typically have a three-point check list â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cute styling, affordability and the latest in infotainment technology. The previous model ticked the first two boxes but missed out on the third, a problem which has now been fixed with this latest upgrade. New Picanto is currently offered in two variants, S and GT-Line both powered by a 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine and either manual or automatic transmission. A third model the GT is expected to be added towards the end of 2020. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have specific details at this stage but the outgoing GT was a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol.

Engine / transmission The 1.2-litre four-cylinder engine in the Picanto S and GT-Line generates 62 kilowatts of power and 122 Newton metres of torque at 4000 rpm. Both models come with the choice of five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmissions.

Safety

Styling Styling of Picanto (love that name, it sounds like it should mean something in Italian â&#x20AC;Ś but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t) is fresh and contemporary. To our eyes the GT-Line variant thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the subject of this test is just about the cutest car on Australian roads. Given the number of admiring looks it got plenty of others share that view. Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built in South Korea there is the European influence that is characteristic of all new Kia models penned by design chief Peter Schreyer.

Kia Picanto is a cute and capable city car. (Pictures: Supplied)

An upgrade in June 2020 brought a new grille, projector headlights, new foglights, re-designed alloy wheels and rear bumper.

Interior Picantoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tallish body means there is ample headroom both front and rear for average-size

occupants although its length limits boot space to just 255 litres. This is can be expanded to 1010 litres by folding the 60:40 second-row seat backs. Although there are three rear seat belts shoulder space is limited, especially with three adult passengers abreast. Headrests

Summing up Kia Picanto is a very attractive five-door city hatch car that’s loaded with standard equipment and comes in at a starting price of just $14,690

AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE Picanto S 1.2-litre petrol: $14,690 (manual), $16,290 (automatic) Picanto GT-Line 1.2-litre petrol: $16,140 (manual), $17,740 (automatic) Picanto GT 1.0-litre turbo-petrol: $18,990 (manual)

Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges. Contact your local Kia dealer for drive-away prices.

plus on-road costs with manual transmission. It’s pleasant to drive, works well around town and isn’t too out of place in the country. Its low driveaway price is certainly appealing with its value equation topped up by Kia’s industry-leading seven-year, unlimited kilometre standard warranty. City car punters have clearly already made up their minds on the merits of Picanto with four out of five buyers in the segment heading for Kia dealerships. If you’re looking for a sportier performance the upgraded turbo Picanto GT isn’t too far off.

Our test car was the automatic GT-Line Picanto in Astro Grey with red trim making it a real eye-catcher. The tallish body provided excellent headroom and interior space that belied its small exterior. The front seats were comfortable and supportive but the absence of telescopic steering wheel adjustment meant pushing the driver’s seat back to compensate. Performance from the 1.2-litre 62 kW / 122 Nm engine naturally-aspirated is pretty good with its limited outputs offset by a kerb weight of around 1000 kg. Having only four forward ratios in the automatic can be a drawback in some country driving, but is generally fine around town. Sharp and agile in its urban natural habitat the little Kia had no trouble keeping pace with traffic over the undulating terrain of the M1 Pacific Motorway to the north of Sydney. Only in steeper hills in the semi-rural segment of our test route did it struggle. With SUVs and utes now the focus of most of our road tests it was a real treat to be able to zip in and out of even the tightest of parking spots with ease both by the Picanto’s size but also its excellent all-round visibility. Fuel consumption is listed at 5.8 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined cycle. We averaged 6.8 L/100 km on our real-life test with fuel stops increased due to the 35-litre fuel tank.

Gladiator fired up to take on all-comers

Jeep calls on Gladiator to shake up the heavyweight pickup truck market. (Pictures: Supplied)

By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring

AT A GLANCE

Few vehicles live up to their title better than the new Gladiator. Just like the movie of the same name was a widescreen epic of Roman times, the eponymous Jeep is a larger-than-life depiction of the pickup version of the Wrangler SUV. And while Gladiator star Russell Crowe carries off the traditions of the Hollywood heart-throb, so the titular one-of-a-kind convertible truck does likewise with the rich heritage of the popular Jeep. Jeep pickups date back to 1947, with the Gladiator debuting Down Under in 1963, and as the only convertible truck of its kind, now comes to Australia. Ours is the first right-hand drive market in the world to receive it. Available as the well-equipped entry-level Overland and superior-specified Rubicon the dual-cab with tub serves up good on-road manners and excellent off-road performance with an unmatched open-air feeling of freedom with its detachable roof panels. Every Gladiator earns Trail Rated badging, which speaks to the vehicle’s superior off-road capabilities. Prices start at $75,450, plus on-road costs, for the Overland and nudge up to $75,450 for the Rubicon. The Overland can be fitted with a Lifestyle Adventure Package, at $3835, consisting of cargo versatility with trail rail system, lockable rear under-seat storage bin, roll-up material tonneau cover, spray-on bedliner, aux switch bank (four programable), 240A alternator, 700A maintenance-free battery and Bluetooth wireless speaker. One-hundred examples of a Gladiator Launch Edition are also on offer at $86,450. Each includes all Rubicon advantages and Lifestyle Adventure package, plus unique badging, wheels and interior highlights.

panels and fender flares. Never-the-less, features are fit for purpose. The traditional seven-slot radiator grille openings have been widened to allow added air intake to cope with up to 2721kg braked trailer towing capacity. Wrangler’s removable body-colour Freedom roof panels are retained and four bolts at the top of the windscreen allow it to be folded, while the header bar between the A-pillars remains in place. Lightweight aluminium doors can also be taken off using one of the special tools supplied for the operations above. LED headlamps and tail-lights, together with foglights and daytime running lights, present a modern look all round, while under-rail lighting in the tub highlights the optional Rail Trail system designed to keep varying loads safe and secure. The Gladiator Overland gets around on 18-inch alloy wheels housed under body-colour fender flares and comes in a choice of seven standard Jeep colours, or Gobi and Gator, which are exclusive to Gladiator.

the roof and doors are removed. The centre console features metal highlights and is home to gearshift and transfer case levers and handbrake. Bolts on the shift, grab handles and infotainment screen surrounds emphasise Gladiator’s solid construction character.

Infotainment The 8.4-inch dash-mounted touchscreen announces Jeep’s fourth-generation Uconnect 4 system and is located on top of the centre stack. Improvements include quicker start-up times and better screen resolution. Satellite navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard and a nine-speaker Alpine premium audio, plus a separate 7-inch multi-view driver information display, make up an extensive equipment list. A portable Bluetooth wireless speaker behind the rear seat is also available. The ability to charge up to three additional devices is a boon in remote locations. A further confidence booster out bush, standard on Rubicon, is a forward-facing camera, which can clearly pick out obstacles ahead.

Interior Inside are McKinley leather seats with Overland logo. Front seats are heated, as is the sports-style steering wheel. Rear seat backs can be folded to make available an illuminated storage spot, which includes a net to secure items to the cab back wall. The seat cushions fold up to reveal space for an optional lockable storage bin for use when

Engines / transmissions The Gladiator makes use of Jeep’s proven 3.6-litre Pentastar engine putting out 209 kW of power and 347 Nm across a wide torque band, the latter necessary for work in extreme situations off road. It has an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.

Driving As far as driving is concerned the Gladiator belies its bulk, which is highlighted by its 13.6-metre turning circle. On the road it behaves like a much smaller vehicle, keeping up with traffic even in stop-start going in town. On the highway, the long wheelbase (3488 mm) ensures the pickup irons out any blemishes in road surfaces, the well-tuned suspension and cabin comfort providing little occupants can complain about. As for fuel consumption, the story is not so comfortable, though not unexpected for the powertrain in use. Jeep claims a combined urban / highway petrol consumption of 11.2 litres per 100 kilometres for the Gladiator. On test, the Overland chalked up 7.6 litres per 100 kilometres cruising on motorways, while it reached 15 litres per 100 around town. Off-road help comes in the shape of Selec-Speed Control, standard with the eight-speed tranny. This manages vehicle speed in ‘4LO’ during heavy going without the driver having to use the accelerator or brake. Selec-Speed is activated via a button on the dash and can be varied between one and 8 km/h using the AutoStick shift. The ingenious roll-up tonneau cover, which incorporates metal crossmembers, works a treat to cover loads taking up varying amounts of tub space. Well done, Jeep.

Summing up While the Overland is capable of taking on a variety of extreme off-road conditions, for those keen to press on to the ultimate test, the added investment in the Rubicon, with its rock-hopping ability, would appear worthwhile.

Champion Harry retires By Luke Voogt Champion Geelong defender Harry Taylor announced his retirement on Saturday after a 280-game career including two premierships and two All-Australian honours. “I want to say thank you for your fiercely loyal support,” Taylor said in a letter to Cats’ members. “I limped into the Geelong Football Club bright-eyed and determined back in 2007 and limp off 4723 days later in 2020, proud that I have given my absolute best to our great club. “The one-on-one contests, the ice baths, the heartbreaking losses and the unbelievable victories at home or far away. I have tried to prepare as well as possible for every battle. You have been there with me through it all. “I would have loved to have helped our great club win more games and more premierships but I leave having fully committed to … the values of our organisation. I hope you have enjoyed laughing, yelling, crying, and moving your head both horizontally and vertically with me and at me over the past 13 years. It’s been one hell of a ride.” Along with regularly shutting down the AFL’s top key forwards, Taylor was one of the

league’s best intercept markers and pivotal in providing run off half-back for the Cats. Taylor could be dangerous up forward too, kicking 75 career goals including a six-goal haul against GWS in 2012. While fellow defender Matthew Scarlett kicked the famous toe-poke in the 2009 grand final, it was Taylor who kept St Kilda star Nick Riewoldt to just one goal and 13 disposals. Taylor’s mark on the back flank in the dying seconds when the Cats were up by just six points all but clinched the premiership.

Amid his success, Taylor is the first to admit to his ungainly gait and playing style. “I didn’t move like the most graceful looking footballer, nor did I subscribe to the AFL player stereotype,” he said. Teammates know Taylor as a strange Cat, with an avid interest in World War II and sipping cognac, and a preference for drinking milk post-game. But despite his uniqueness, Taylor was among the most respected players at the Cats for his loyalty, honesty, dedication and integrity. “I am unique but I have always just done what I think works best to help my teammates and the Geelong Football Club,” he said. “I strive to be a man of my word. Integrity and authenticity guide my path forward.” Geelong’s football general manager Simon Lloyd congratulated Taylor on being an incredible player for a long period of time. “In typical fashion, Harry wants a low-key retirement announcement and we respect his wishes,” Lloyd said. “He will be missed around the club and we wish Harry, Michelle, James, Isabel and Abigail well in whatever the future holds.” Taylor has played the fourth most finals in AFL (31) and the ninth most games for Geelong.

Women to make history in men’s league Geelong’s top women’s cricket team is set for a historic debut in a local men’s competition tomorrow with COVID-19 restrictions preventing travel to Melbourne. Geelong Cricket Club’s female team will begin its first ever season in a local men’s league against St Josephs in the Geelong Cricket Association (GCA) One Day South (retire 100) competition. “It’s going to be so great for women’s cricket playing against the men,” Geelong Cricket Club women’s co-ordinator Sarah Pike said. Pike said the side was “not out to win trophies or even matches” but rather to prepare for a possible women’s Victorian Premier Cricket league debut next year. “We’re purely doing it to get great experience and the best out of our cricket. Our priority is getting them into premier cricket as soon as possible.” The batswoman was excited but nervous

ahead of the debut game. “It’s a little nerve-wracking – there’s always that fear of the unknown,” she said. The speed of the bowling and coming up against players who had previously played in higher grades could prove challenging, she said. “Some of those might have been playing for as long as some of our girls have been alive. But I’ve got full faith in the girls’ ability and they all know it’s going to be great for their cricket. I think they’ll definitely hold their own.” And she hoped the men would not hold back. “We’re not expecting any handouts,” she said. The decision comes with both men’s and women’s Victorian Premier Cricket delayed until at least later this month. “We had to make a decision not knowing what was going to happen with COVID-19,” Pike said. Geelong Cricket Club’s developmental

women’s team, primarily consisting of players aged 15 to 18, made its debut in the Barwon Women’s Cricket Division 1 last Sunday. The side won by three wickets against Manifold Heights, chasing just 52 runs. “Our batting needs a lot of work but our fielding and bowling were great,” Pike said. “Ideally we would have liked to have had them playing in Melbourne this year but logistically it was just going to be too hard. “We want to really start building the capability up because we want them to be playing premier cricket in the next year or two. “The interest in women’s cricket in Geelong is just huge.” GCA men’s divisions one, two and three commenced last weekend, while the one-day competitions will begin tomorrow.

Snapper still in good numbers ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The spark of good weather has definitely fired up the fishing in and out of the bay and some freshwater too. Out of Clifton Springs has still got some fantastic fishing on offer with snapper on most anglers’ minds. Fishing towards the channel has attracted the most interest from boats, with snapper reaching up to 5 kilogram. Another spot worth having a look at is up towards Wilson Spit and the quarries – the area doesn’t get too much boat traffic and holds some cracking fish. In closer to shore, anglers are still finding plenty of fish that are more than willing to slurp up a soft plastic with a great variety of other species such as flathead, salmon and pike. Trelly got out for a quick flick before work one morning landing himself pinkie snapper, flathead and some monster pike to 93cm on gulp soft plastics. Calamari and whiting are still in good numbers right along the Peninsula with Indented Heads proving a hot spot for both species. The Queenscliff bight has still got some fantastic squid fishing on offer right through the area. Adam Zeljevic and Owen Westwell got out on Cup Day and had no issue in finding large numbers of squid with hoods measuring up to 40cm. Gan Craft jigs in the Garfish colour proving irresistible to them. The Queenscliff harbour has been on fire this week with some epic reports of snapper to 65cm, big trevally and heaps of Australian salmon. Casting soft plastics in the channel has been providing the goods with all times of the tide fishing well. Offshore fishing off Barwon Heads this past week has been very productive for both snapper and gummy sharks, with anglers landing some quality fish. Fishing anywhere from 20 right through to 60 metres with fresh chunk baits of salmon and pike has been finding gummy shark to 15kg and snapper to just under 7kg. Micro jigging in the same locations has been getting its fair share of bottom fish too and is a super fun way to target them, especially the snapper. There has also been some large numbers of salmon and calamari offshore, so you can go out and catch the freshest bait possible. Ethan Solly made the drive down to Portland at the weekend in hope of a shark out deep. Not long into his drift his rod found a mako on the end of his line and after a thrilling fight it was his and weighing around 60kg.
