Koala-ty act beats record Volunteers are planning to plant 800 koala-friendly trees at Batesford just a week after their biggest plant day yet at Little River. The Koala Clancy Foundation and 32 volunteers planted nearly 1500 trees last weekend, bringing their total so far this year to almost 11,000. “We have passed the halfway mark of our big target for 20,000 trees around the greater Geelong area in 2021,” foundation president Janine Duffy said. Koala Clancy Foundation had actually hoped to reach that target early this month, until Victoria’s most recent lockdowns hit, Janine revealed. “It’s set us back by 5000 trees,” she said. The foundation has planted 31,000 trees since 2016 with the help of volunteers like Williamstown’s Liz Hope, pictured, in its bid to restore habitat for our nation’s most-beloved marsupial. Liz has planted about 400 trees in her two years with the group. “We’re running tree-planting planting days around the Geelong area every weekend until mid-September – COVID-dependent,” Janine said.

Skydiving survivor walks By Luke Voogt The survivor of a freak skydiving accident in Torquay has taken his first steps just days after the terrifying fall. “Another miracle happened today,” Berni Rantall posted on social media about her husband Christopher on Monday. “My husband walked five metres with a frame. How amazing is he, four days after falling from the sky? “[He] still has a long way to go but we are so proud of him.”

Both police and Ms Rantall hailed the skydiving instructor who tandem-jumped with Mr Rantall, Arron Toepfer, as a hero at the weekend following the accident last Friday. “Once the parachute didn’t open, there were emergency attempts made to open up the chute and unfortunately, couldn’t open the chute,” Torquay Sergeant Peter Christo told the media. “As a result of that, we have a deceased male. I believe the instructor may have cushioned a lot of the blow for the client.” The 35-year-old died in the fall, while Mr Rantall suffered a dislocated hip, bleeding to

his spleen and left kidney and several broken bones, according to his wife. Mr Toepfer, who hails from Mildura, completed more than 5000 jumps in his career, according to the Australian Parachute Federation. “We’re thinking and praying for the instructor’s family at this sad time,” Ms Rantall posted on Saturday. “He was a true hero and such a brave young man.” An ambulance helicopter flew Mr Rantall to the Alfred Hospital in a critical condition,

which has since improved to stable. The Warrnambool man underwent surgery on Saturday, before taking his first steps on Monday. “It is nothing short of a true miracle that you are still here with us after surviving such a horrific accident,” Ms Rantall said. “You are so strong and a real fighter and that’s what’s going to get you through this.” The Civil Aviation Safety Authority and police continued their investigation into the incident this week, with the assistance of the Australian Parachute Federation.

Pool upgrade moves step closer “Whether it’s the northern suburbs, Bellarine Peninsula or the city’s south, we are committed to providing premier aquatic facilities close to where residents live,” Cr Asher said. “As part of our increased focus on renewing our facilities, the council has a strong focus on improving existing infrastructure to support community health, wellbeing and connection. “This major upgrade will ensure Leisurelink can serve its local community for many years to come.” The works will require the full closure of the pool, splash park and waterslides. The splash park will reopen before the September school

holidays, with the 50-metre pool to be open by mid-2022. All other aquatic areas, such as the Learn to Swim pool, warm water pool, spa and saunas, will mostly operate as normal. Gym and group exercise spaces will not be affected. The impact on regular users is being minimised as much as possible, with Webstar Swim School classes transferring to Waterworld and Splashdown. Cr Ron Nelson said the council had invested funding to expand the availability of other pool and aquatic facilities across the network. Kardinia Aquatic Centre is now open year-round, while Lara Aquatic Centre

Girls in charge on and off the court Australian Diamond netballer Madi Browne and local policewomen hit the court with 16 girls from Surf Coast Secondary College on Wednesday. The officers and netballer joined forces with the year 9 and 10 students at Wurdi Baierr Stadium, Torquay, as part of the Girl in Charge program. The nine-week program aims to cultivate the students’ love for netball while fostering a positive self-image and working towards a healthy goal. Alongside attending personal development sessions on topics such as public speaking, nutrition and motivation, the students will each work to attain a netball umpiring qualification. Browne will also share her expertise through a wellbeing course on “hustle and focus” as one of the program’s guest speakers. Sergeant Kylie Power and Detective Senior Constable Kylie Roberts developed the Girl in Charge program in consultation with the Surf Coast Secondary College leadership team. “The Girl in Charge program aims to engage with teenage girls and provide them with the necessary tools to increase self-esteem and become leaders both on and off the courts,” Sergeant Power said. “Being so passionate about netball ourselves, we’ve seen first-hand just how much of a positive impact sport-driven mentorship can have on young girls,” Detective Senior Constable Roberts said about the program. “Girl in Charge would not have been possible without the support of Surf Coast Secondary College and generous local sponsors including the Surf Coast Suns Netball Club.” Main: Madi Browne (front centre), Sergeant Kylie Power (back left) and Detective Senior Constable Kylie Roberts (back right) with Surf Coast Secondary College students.

will open one month earlier than usual on October 1. “The high use of Kardinia pool over the past two winters has shown the strong demand that exists for high-quality facilities,” Cr Nelson said. “We are committed to delivering new and upgraded aquatic assets for all residents to enjoy, as we know they provide a number of public health and wellbeing benefits for people of all ages.” In further support for all aquatic and gym users, Swim Sport and Leisure fees have been frozen at 2020-21 levels this financial year, council said.

Work starts on centres for mental health Residents in Greater Geelong will soon have access to better local mental health support with a construction blitz now under way on two major projects. Work has started on a new 16-bed mental health facility at Barwon Health’s McKellar Centre which will provide more than 5800 days of care – equating to approximately 355 people each year, according to the state government. The government said the facility will reduce pressure on University Hospital Geelong’s emergency department, delivering inpatient acute mental health services and community-based care in a contemporary, safe and high-quality hospital setting. The facility will create and sustain more than 230 local construction jobs, according to the state government, with its frame to be constructed as individual modules off-site, then transported and completed on-site to reduce disruption to the operational hospital and residents while construction is under way. Geelong-based Lyons Construction has also begun work on the $16 million Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Services Community Hub in central Geelong, with construction on track to be completed in late 2022. Operated by Barwon Health, the five-storey hub will provide better access to treatment and support services for people experiencing mental ill-health and addiction, according to the state government.

Work is set to begin on the full rebuild of Leisurelink’s 50-metre swimming pool. City Hall has awarded a contract for the major construction project to AW Nicholson Pty Ltd. The contract, worth $4,708,099, will see AW Nicholson demolish the existing pool and replace it with a tiled 50-metre concrete pool. Improvements will also be made to the waterslide, splash park pumps and water supply. Mayor Stephanie Asher said the council was investing an unprecedented amount in its sport and recreation facilities across the municipality.

Prison exceeds local labour goal By Luke Voogt The construction of a new Lara prison has exceeded targets to employ local workers by 50 per cent, according to state government. The project had injected $200 million into the “local” economy, including $126 million for services and supplies from businesses in greater Geelong and Melbourne’s western suburbs, a government statement said. State government has spent the other $74 million employing local sub-contractors and workers living within 30 kilometres of the project site. Authorities initially set employment targets

for workers in Corio, Norlane, Whittington, and parts of Colac, prior to the start of construction in February 2020. The Community Safety Building Authority identified these focus areas for targeted recruitment in consultation with the G21 Regional Opportunities for Work initiative and Geelong council. The project, on Chisholm Road, had created more than 45,000 labour hours for workers in these areas, exceeding the initial target of 30,000. “This project is meeting and beating its targets to provide local opportunities and investing in workers starting out as trainees and apprentices,” Lara MP John Eren said.

More than 1200 workers are now on-site to construct the new jail near the existing Barwon Prison Precinct. The project, managed by engineering contractor John Holland, entered its peak construction phase last month, with the workforce expected to rise to more than 1400. Ten per cent of labour hours on the project are allocated to young workers including apprentices, trainees and cadets. Corrections Minister Natalie Hutchins said the project had provided a significant boost to the Geelong region. State government expects the project to be complete by 2022. An additional $16.3 million has been directed

to social enterprises that support Indigenous and disadvantaged Victorians and people with a disability in gaining employment. But Victorian Aboriginal Legal Service spokesperson Andreea Lachsz slammed state government’s lauding of milestone. “The government spends too much time talking about the wrong targets,” Ms Lachsz said. “It needs to focus less on building prisons and target labour hours for prison construction projects, and focus more on how to stop filling up prisons with Aboriginal people. It’s time the Andrews Government took seriously its commitments under the Closing the Gap agreement.”

Tails wagging for dog park revamp Ten thousand tails are wagging in Geelong’s north following the reopening Corio’s newly-upgraded dog park. Councillor canine companions Bella, Frankie and Truffle toured the facility at Stead Park on Tuesday, which reopened late last month after eight weeks of construction and the ending of Victoria’s most recent COVID-19 lockdown. Truffle’s human representative on council, Anthony Aitken, welcomed the improvements that have 3000 dogs registered in Corio and Norlane and 10,000 total in the northern suburbs eagerly tugging on leashes to visit. “We know there are many dog-lovers in

the northern suburbs,” the Windermere ward councillor said. “We hope residents and their furry friends enjoy the improvements as much as we did building them.” The facility at Stead Park opened in late 2013 and was council’s first fenced dog park in greater Geelong. The park now features an extra 2100 square metres for pooches to go barking mad with excitement, along with new equipment including hurdles and platforms. Separate fenced areas for passive and active dogs, a water fountain, and new fencing and gates also feature in the upgrades. “We have learnt a lot about off-leash fenced

dog parks since building this park, including creating two separate areas for high-intensity and low-intensity dogs,” Cr Aitken said. “This has been incorporated into the improvements of this dog park. One improvement local users asked for was a double-gate entry and exit, which the team has been able to deliver.” The newly-renovated facility joins the Belmont fenced dog park, which opened in June. Council reminded pet-owners visiting the dog parks to adhere to current COVID-19 restrictions on gathering and face masks, and clean up after their dogs using the bins on site.

A 13-tonne lithium battery in a shipping container burned for four days until firefighters declared the fire under control on Monday afternoon. More than 30 fire trucks and 150 CFA and Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) firefighters responded after the battery caught fire at Moorabool last Friday morning. “There was one battery pack on fire to start with, but it did spread to a second pack that was very close to it,” District 7 acting assistant chief fire officer Ian Beswicke said that afternoon. “The plan is that we keep it cool on the outside and protect the exposures so it doesn’t cause any issues for any of the other components in the power station.” Firefighters opened all doors to the container of the battery about 3pm on Monday, declaring “no sign of fire”. The battery is part of a complex set to become Australia’s largest lithium-ion battery. The Big Battery is a joint collaboration between French renewable energy corporation Neoen, tech giant Tesla and state and federal governments. Luke Voogt

Vietnam veteran Reiny Nieuwenhof. (Picture: Ivan Kemp) 245939_02

Veteran marks 50 years Today marks 50 years since Portarlington veteran Reiny Nieuwenhof came home to the woman he married before leaving for Vietnam. Mr Nieuwenhof married Jennifer Gaye just before flying to Vietnam after being drafted for national service. He served six months in 131 Divisional Locating Battery using electronic listening posts and radar to track enemy soldiers from the Australian headquarters in Nui Dat. “It’s certainly something that you never forget,” he said. “I was one of the lucky ones. For those who have suffered much worse than I through PTSD, those flashbacks cause them severe trauma to this very day.” Protesters confronted Mr Nieuwenhof and his comrades as they arrived at the airport on August 6, 1971, while returning from the most unpopular war in Australia’s history. “It didn’t impact me – they were just making

a statement,” he said. Later, he and his wife reunited, after writing letters to each other while he was in Vietnam. “It was pretty special,” he said. With Vietnam Veterans’ Day coming up on August 18, Mr Nieuwenhof and others who served plan to sell badges beginning next Monday on Malop Street, outside Westfield. The day commemorates the Battle of Long Tan, Australia’s most costly battle in the Vietnam War. The veterans will remain at their post from 10am to 4pm until August 17, dependent on Victoria’s COVID-19 situation. The funds raised go toward supporting veterans struggling with financial and psychological hardship. “That’s the whole point of the badge-selling,” Mr Nieuwenhof said. – Luke Voogt

Love conquers after lockdown By Luke Voogt A Highton couple who originally planned to get married the day Victoria went into lockdown finally tied the knot last Friday. Sherridan Dwyer-Reynolds had no idea lockdown was imminent on July 15 while she was out making sure everything was ready for her big day. Until that afternoon, when her beauty salon rang and asked if she wanted to keep her appointment. “I was like, ‘what?!’ That was the first time I had heard anything about going into lockdown,” the 27-year-old said. She called then-fiancé Matt, 26, straight away and live-streamed Premier Daniel Andrews’ press conference on her phone after deciding to get her nails done anyway. “I went to the appointment just to relax,” she said. Matt had been following Victoria’s COVID-19 outbreak, which seemed under control from Monday to Wednesday. “[The cases at that time] were all known to contract tracers,” he said. “We started Thursday not knowing if a lockdown would happen. By the end of the day, there’s all this talk about exposure sites at the MCG and it spreading from NSW.” Victoria plunged into ‘lockdown 5.0’ that night, postponing their plans for Friday, July 16. “Next day, we pretty much hung out on the couch and did nothing,” Matt said. But lockdown would prove a minor speed hump for the couple, who have been together for almost a decade. Sherridan and Matt “knew of each other’s existence” at Belmont High School, but only began to hit it off when their friendship

groups started hanging out together after their graduation in 2012. They “nerded out” over their love of Doctor Who and Star Trek, and spent “five or six hours” talking after Matt asked Sherridan on a date the day before his 19th birthday. They “realised we would work out in the long-term” following a big trip across the US in early 2019. When Matt went to Bali with his mum that October, they pined for one another, deciding they “never” wanted to go on holiday without each other again. Matt proposed the next month and the couple chose not to have an engagement party, ironically, so they could

have a big wedding with all their loved ones. “Then COVID-19 happened – so we planned a micro wedding instead,” Sherridan said. They waited nervously until the premier last Tuesday announced that lockdown would lift, before rushing to reorganise their big day. “We really only had Wednesday and Thursday to get ready for it,” Matt said.” With the couple busily preparing, the occasion only hit Sherridan when she put on her dress. “That’s when the butterflies hit,” she said. “It was magical. I nearly cried while reading my vows.”

They got married before an arch destined for their backyard when they buy their first home. “It’s in my parents’ garage right now, but one day it will be in our garden, and we’ll be able to say we got married in front of that arch,” Sherridan said. She carried a bouquet made from brooches gifted by her mother and late grandmother, as loved ones threw petals gathered from their gardens. The couple are now on honeymoon in Daylesford, and hope to travel to the Caribbean via New Orleans or Europe, together, when the world returns to normal.

Geelong leads race to get jab

CREATING A CLEVER AND CREATIVE FUTURE FOR GREATER GEELONG

CITYNEWS Keep up-to-date with what's happening in your City.

By Luke Voogt Geelong leads Victoria in COVID-19 vaccinations and is ranked third in all of Australia, according to federal health data released this week. With 25.9 per cent of people over 15 fully-vaccinated in Geelong, the city sits behind only Launceston (27 per cent) and North Sydney and Hornsby (26.9 per cent) out of 107 level 4 statistical areas (SA4) across Australia. Geelong also ranks fourth for first doses received on 51.4 per cent, behind Warrnambool and South West (51.6 per cent), North Sydney and Hornsby (51.9 per cent) and Bendigo (52.6 percent). The figures come after the Independent first revealed in June that Geelong’s vaccination rate was 50 per cent higher than the Victorian average. Barwon South West Public Health Unit has administered more than 141,000 doses across the region so far, according to its director Eugene Athan “[We are] very pleased with the vaccination take up rate in our community,” Professor Athan said. “Barwon Health has capacity to deliver significantly more vaccinations once additional vaccine supply is available, which is expected in September.” Professor Athan said Barwon Health’s mass vaccination hub in Norlane had experienced an increase in bookings and walk-ins for Astra Zeneca, and bookings for Pfizer. “Local GPs have also played a vital role providing vaccinations at their practices.

LAST CHANCE TO ENTER “Our staff and partner organisations have also directly engaged with key leaders and groups in the community that would traditionally be less likely to access health care. “Our partnership with local groups such as Diversitat, Volunteering Geelong and other agencies has helped to ensure our most vulnerable communities are able to access vaccination.” Bookings and walk-in Astra Zeneca vaccinations are available to anyone over the age of 40, with anyone aged between 40 and 60 requiring a consultation with Barwon Health’s immunisation team. Limited Pfizer bookings are available each week for people aged 40 to 60, with priority access for health, aged care and disability workers of any age. Meanwhile, a Barwon Heads man previously in a critical condition after contracting COVID-19 was “improving gradually” and in a stable condition this week, Professor Athan said. Health authorities have now cleared several hundred people in the region previously isolating following Victoria’s delta outbreak, he said.

Newtown developer Rory Costelloe and Geelong Cats champion Billy Brownless celebrated with a few frothies on Monday night after topping the nation’s Dry July fundraising. Mr Costelloe was the highest individual fundraiser in Australia after matching his donors dollar-for-dollar in the last week to boost his tally by more than $20,000. He chipped in about $12,600 himself, taking his tally to $31,787 for Andrew Love Cancer Centre in memory of his younger brother Justin, who died of cancer in 2018. “It was an amazing show of support,” he said, after a month of abstaining from booze. “It’s great that so many people stepped up to support me in a big way. My mother and siblings are very grateful.” The Villawood Properties founder was part of Billy’s Frothy Fund, which raised $82,164, the most of any Dry July team across Australia.

He joined the champion goal-kicker at his pub, The Cremorne Hotel, in Newtown to draw the winner of a Geelong Cats jumper signed by the current team. Donor Alyce Matthies won the jumper, organised thanks to another former Cats champion, Andrew Mackie. “If they win the premiership this year, that jumper will be hot property,” Mr Costolloe said. The money raised by Billy’s Frothy Fund will assist local people and organisations caring for cancer patients and their families. “Practically everyone knows somebody whose life has been turned upside down by cancer,” Mr Costelloe said. “Dry July is a great way to help make their battle a bit easier.”

Boost helps Jesse grow his mow By Luke Voogt Ocean Grove go-getter Jesse plans to take his mowing to the next level following a $500 donation from a global foundation. Awesome Foundation’s Geelong chapter offered the amount, or the equivalent in equipment, after reading the enterprising 12-year-old’s story in last week’s Independent. “Oh my god, thank you so much – that’s amazing!” Jesse said, when the Independent phoned to share the news. Jesse began mowing lawns late last year in Craigieburn, where he lived with his grandmother after escaping a troubled

childhood. He moved in with older sister Hayleigh in Ocean Grove recently and, following the recent easing of restrictions, began mowing lawns in his new hometown last weekend. Hayleigh’s fiancée Nathan dropped him off at his first couple of jobs, while Jesse pushes the mower and carries his equipment for bookings closer to home. But he hopes to add some pedal power to make his enterprise more mobile following the donation. “I was looking at buying some stuff to custom-build a trailer for my bike, and an edger or a new leaf blower,” he said.

Jesse’s determination impressed chapter head trustee Pete Johnston. “Here’s a young kid from unfortunate circumstances who has got off his bum and done something,” Mr Johnston said. “He deserves all the help he can get. We will keep following him and if he needs a bit of stuff in future, we’d like to help.” Awesome Foundation originated in Boston before spreading across the globe. The Geelong chapter has supported breast cancer survivors, youth engagement programs, shopping days for disadvantaged people and more. Details: awesomefoundation.org/chapters/ geelong

Campaign to tackle waste Three councils have banded together to help reduce the amount of waste generated in the Barwon South region each year. The region generates over 760,000 tonnes of waste annually, according to Geelong council, prompting it to partner with Surf Coast Shire and Borough of Queenscliffe for a new buy recycled campaign. The campaign targets the circular economy, which aims to minimise both waste as well as the environmental impact of single-use consumption by leveraging recyclable resources.

YOUR SAY Price rises Am I the only one to notice it? Over the past few weeks, most, if not all, supermarkets have stealthily increased the price of many packaged/canned products by between 5-25 per cent. This against a background of massive profits recorded since the Coronavirus hit this country more than one year ago. The prime offenders are the major supermarket chains. Fair dinkum. Talk about the cynical exploitation of the masses at a time when they are at their most vulnerable. Michael J Gamble Belmont

Celebrate the night sky The Yorkshire Dales National Park in England recently created a Dark Sky Reserve. It’s a place where a lack of light pollution allows thousands of stars, the Milky Way, meteors, and even the Northern Lights to be viewed. I enjoy the night skies here in my garden at Anglesea, where the Milky Way and other astral bodies are really awesome. But a dedicated place away from town lighting would be a wonderful way to behold this night-time vista. There could be no better site for a local Dark Sky Reserve than our very own Great Otways National Park. Melva Stott Anglesea

FRIDAY FEATURE

Breathing Oxygen into live scene Oxygen College Geelong has lodged plans for a new live music venue, following the most devastating period for performing arts in living memory. St Albans Park’s Riordan Stewart-McDougall speaks to Luke Voogt about how “amazing” the venue would be for her and Geelong’s emerging musicians post-COVID.

iordan Stewart-McDougall has dreamed of sharing music ever since she “claimed” her older brother’s $10 op shop guitar. “I started writing a bunch of songs – as you do as a 12-year-old. They weren’t very good,” the 23-year-old remembered. “My eldest brother was taking a few guitar lessons so my mum bought a $10 classical guitar from an op shop.” Eventually, the guitar ended up in a cupboard, so Riordan grabbed it and began learning the chords. “I kind of claimed that guitar as my own,” she said. After just six months practicing, she began busking with a new guitar and a parent supervising. “I really, really wanted to get my music out there,” she said. “I was like, ‘right! I’m going to go out and do some busking’. “I wanted to show people what I was working on, and busking was a really good way to do that – you have lots of people walking past and you have to grab their attention.”

‘‘

It will 100 per cent not be a nightclub, ever ... It’s a performing arts venue

’’

- Dominic Monea After performing a few times at her church, Riordan started playing at open mic nights and landing regular gigs. “I do get quite nervous before a gig but I love performing,” she said. “Music is such a universal language. Just being able to look out into an audience and see them connect with a song you’ve written – it’s an amazing feeling. “In 2019 my gigs were really picking up.” Then COVID-19 hit, devastating the industry and putting the dreams of emerging artists, like Riordan, on hold across Geelong and the world. “To hit 2020 and have everything go down the toilet was pretty devastating – music’s a huge part of my life. It was a struggle for a lot of us.” Riordan had been a regular opening for bands at The Workers Club Geelong, which shut its doors this February amid the pandemic. “It was one of the main live music venues in Geelong,” she said. “So that was devastating for a lot bands and artists.” But Riordan hopes plans for a new live music venue next to Oxygen College in Geelong West could provide a desperately-needed shot in the arm to the local scene. “It would be massive for local artists,” she said. “Just having a place to play – especially a place where young emerging artists can come together and showcase their creativity. “You can meet and network with people who are just as passionate about music as yourself.” And nothing beats a live crowd for testing new material, according to Riordan, who graduated a sound engineering course at Oxygen and is now studying music there. “It’s so, so important just being able to see how people react to it, and really getting your heart out there and showing your creativity,” she said. The proposed live music venue, at 23 Gordon Avenue, is in a commercial zone, with a residential growth zone to the immediate south, according to a planning report. The venue would host a maximum of 400 patrons and operate sporadically within the hours of 6pm-12am Sunday to Thursday and 6pm-1am Friday and Saturday. But the proposal faces a few hurdles yet, with just over a dozen people objecting to the plans after Oxygen College lodged them with council in May.

Some describe the plans as a “de facto nightclub”, raising fears of patrons making noise while exiting the venue and bass reverberating throughout the street. Objectors also raise concerns over parking, and drainage and flood issues. But Oxygen College chief executive Dominic Monea believes the objectors have misunderstood his “passion project”. “It will 100 per cent not be a nightclub, ever,” said Dominic, who has been with the institute for 11 years. “It’s not going to be seven days a week of really loud music or drunken hooligans spilling into the street – it’s not that at all. It’s a performing arts venue. “They might have misconstrued what it’s about.”

The “hybrid education centre” would host about 15 shows a year, according Dominic, who pledged to soundproof the venue. “The plan would be to integrate national and international musicians with local artists,” he said. “The business model is based on education and giving emerging artists opportunities. “There are suspended bass modules that you can get that prevent the transfer of bass through the ground,” he added. “I will be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on sound isolation. The last thing I want is to upset people with music they can hear in their own homes.” Dominic, a musician of 40 years himself, invited objectors to visit the existing soundproofed rehearsal suites operating

9am-5pm at the adjacent Oxygen College. “Come see how we isolate sound – they’d be blown away,” he said. “We can have up to five bands playing at once and they can’t hear each other playing next to each other.” The venue would take eight to 12 months to construct, if council approves the plans, according to Dominic. Like Riordan, he believes the venue could provide a desperately-needed boost to the next generation of Geelong musicians amid COVID-19 and local venues closing their doors. “It’s hard enough as it is without having venues available,” he said. “This would be amazing for Geelong and the creative artists that are really struggling.” 9 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 6 August, 2021

COMMUNITY GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

MY GEELONG Bellarine Landcare Group volunteer Kelly Scott talks to Luke Voogt about the move south that reignited her passion for nature. Tell us about you… I’m 28 and I grew up in Cairns before moving to Brisbane, then Melbourne, and then Geelong in 2016. My partner and I live in Highton, but we soon will relocate to Drysdale to be closer to work. I grew up on five acres in the bush and my family and I spent all our time outside and going camping. My parents are amateur naturalists: dad loves native plants and timbers, and mum loves everything else – particularly wildflowers and orchids. My grandparents and extended family are all gardeners and used to run a bushwalking business – so I have really fantastic roots, pun intended!

What do you enjoy about volunteering with the group? Bellarine Landcare is comprised of so many fantastic good souls. Every member is so generous and willing to share their treasures with those who care. One member, who knows I’m a keen photographer, said to me recently, “if you ever want to swing by and take some orchid photos, and we’re not home, just jump the fence!” And that’s not rare. I volunteer through their Grassland Interest Group, which we started to raise awareness about our endangered grassland ecosystems here on the Bellarine. I’m also on the committee for the Smart Farms Grant, which Bellarine Landcare was awarded recently to investigate sustainable

(Ivan Kemp) 245783_02

How did you get involved with Bellarine Landcare Group? After moving to Brisbane to study film at uni, and finding that I hated it on a corporate level, I decided to ditch the Queensland humidity and move to Melbourne. Then I realised that maybe I just hated large cities, so I moved to the slightly smaller Geelong. I went back to studying conservation and land management at The Gordon TAFE, which reignited my passion for nature, and in my volunteering subject I met Bellarine Landcare facilitator Sophie, who is a powerhouse of local knowledge.

farming practices on the peninsula. Through the support of my friends at Landcare I finally realised my dream of starting my own revegetation business, Radical Botanical Eco Works, this year. We help landowners to revegetate their properties, remove weeds and increase biodiversity. Most of my first clients were members of the Grassland Interest Group, and I feel so privileged that I’m trusted to care for their beautiful bits of habitat!

Our environment on the Bellarine and around Geelong is under so much pressure right now with such extensive urbanisation and population growth. We all have to work together to heal this land. How are you coping with COVID-19? It’s been such a lifesaver having my own business. I have an anxiety disorder, and being able to leave retail and crowds behind to hand-weed around some remnant sun orchids and take

photos of moss has been the delight of my life so far. What are your favourite things to do locally? I love photographing local flora – particular wildflowers like orchids, going to environmental events and hiking. Charles Mccarthy Reserve out at St Leonards is very beautiful, as is Ocean Grove Nature Reserve. I love checking out the different op shops and country markets around Geelong on weekends.

TUESDAY

VICEROY’S HOUSE SBS WORLD MOVIES, 6.30pm

This biographical historical drama charts India’s transition into independence in the 1940s, with the dependable Hugh Bonneville portraying the last Viceroy of India, Lord Mountbatten, and Gillian Anderson playing his wife, Lady Edwina (both pictured right). Director Gurinder Chadha ticks all the right boxes, highlighting the religious and cultural disparities of the partition. It looks extravagant, and Chadha manages to weave the personal into the political. The romantic subplot (represented by Manish Dayal’s and Huma Qureshi’s characters) may be slightly sentimental, but it goes to show that even geopolitical stories are human stories after all.

With top-notch performances from its two Oscar-winning leads and a compelling and inspirational true story to tell, The Railway Man is a rewarding watch. When Patricia (Nicole Kidman) meets Eric (Colin Firth, pictured below) on a train, they fall in love and marry, but it q quicklyy becomes apparent Eric’s calm and bookish exterior hides a tormented past. Desperate to uncover what is so wrong with her husband, Patricia meets Finlay (Stellan Skarsgård) who served with Eric in World War II.

Right, said Fred, let’s enjoy life! Geelong larrikin Fred Don loves nothing more than a good laugh. Thankfully, even during lockdown, Fred doesn’t have to laugh at his own jokes – the 92-year-old gets one-on-one social connection visits at home with a Uniting AgeWell activities worker through his Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP). Fred loves chatting about his colourful life. He owned a dairy farm in country Victoria, took up carpentry, helped to run a family bed and breakfast, and was a builder, later going into partnership in running a business. “So, from milking cows to building houses, I’ve done it all,” he says. Fred was also one of the first people to take up the UMPS Personal Smart Home System through Uniting AgeWell. The system uses a discreet set of smart plugs placed on everyday and frequently used household appliances, like the kettle, refrigerator, TV or bedside lamp, and gets to know the older person’s routine. If this changes drastically, perhaps due to a fall or health issue, it will automatically raise an alert with a family member or close contact. “I promised to phone my daughter, Linda, if I felt like I was about to kick the bucket,” Fred chuckles, “but she says this device gives her peace of mind.” The great-grandfather is a devoted family man who certainly doesn’t want either Linda or his son in Queensland, Stephen, worrying about him.

“I’m a bit wobbly on my legs and have got high blood pressure, and my memory’s not that great – but thankfully I keep on forgetting about that ailment!” he laughs. The UMPS is one of a suite of smart gadgets to make life easier for older people at home that are being trialled by Uniting AgeWell and Deakin University at a living lab at one of the not-for-profit aged care provider’s independent living villages in Melbourne. The trial looks at how these gadgets – security cameras, smart plugs, video calling tablets, Google Home, motion detectors and more – can ‘talk to each other’ and best work together to create optimal scenarios for living well at home. Meanwhile Rebecca Smith, Home Care Packages Director, North West Victoria and Tasmania, says the team in Geelong is happy to assist people if they have been approved and are waiting to be assigned a package. “We’ll help with information about home care packages. Our team is also able to assist people to understand the levels of home support available, including CHSP services and navigate My Aged Care as the process can be a bit daunting,” Ms Smith says. For further information about home care packages in Geelong phone 5243 9566 (option 3) or see https://www.unitingagewell.org/ our-services/home-care/barwon-home-care

Don’t worry, be happy As we age, health problems, carer responsibilities and the loss of loved ones can increase our health risks. Ingenia Gardens has some helpful tips to support mental health.

Stay active A decline in physical health can cause loss of independence, and we don’t need to be told twice that our physical health can affect our mental health. A balanced diet, daily exercise and a good night’s sleep are the foundations of a healthy lifestyle and benefit everyone regardless of their physical condition. Ingenia Gardens offers residents a choice of optional meal plans and exercise groups that supports every resident’s individualised needs.

Stay involved Ingenia Garden’s Activate program gives residents the opportunity to participate in regular activities and social events. It’s a great way to find a new hobby, meet residents with similar interests or fill in the afternoon with some fun and laughter.

Stay connected One of the best things about community living is being surrounded by like-minded people and opportunities to make new friends. You could also try joining a local seniors’ group. There are many organisations that host regular events and meetings providing the opportunity to connect with new people. Contact National Seniors Australia, COTA or your local sports club to learn more about meet-ups and activities in your area.

Second chance at love leads to fun and adventure A second chance at love has turned into a lifelong connection for Corio’s Mae and Ern Hutchinson. The couple has been together almost 44 years, and has enjoyed a life of fun and adventure while establishing social and community connections in Geelong. After working as a secretary, Mae made a return to work in hospitality which led to a chance meeting which would change her life. “Both Ern and I had been married before and I did a refresher course to go back to work – I was trying out hospitality,” Mae said. “Ern walked into the place, recognised me and asked me if I’d like to go for a drink and it was from then on. We’ve been together nearly 44 years, and it’s the happiest thing that could ever have happened to me.” Ern, who emigrated to Geelong from England, said Mae was his perfect match. “It was her nature – she was so helpful, and I thought ‘well she’s not a bad sort’. She came and had a drink and the rest is history,” he said. The couple are both in their 90s, and continue to live at home with support from a government-funded Home Care Package (HCP) through genU. The HCP has provided weekly in-home care including help with showering, shopping, personal errands, meals, new security doors, an access ramp and handrails, plus walkers, specialist footwear and allied health supports such as in-home physiotherapy. The HCP also funds attendance to a social support group. Mae said the support they received through their genU case manager was wonderful. “They are so good, we can’t fault them. Ern and I often say how lucky we are,” she said. “We can phone genU up and no matter who we speak to, they are always so polite, obliging and friendly.”

Brilliant lead for young actress By Luke Voogt Molly England’s debut lead role in a classic Australian tale is all the more special after surviving and thriving in her final year at high school in 2020. “It definitely feels sacred to be in a theatre this year,” England said last Friday, after just turning 19. “We started rehearsals in early July and got four or five in, and then the snap lockdown happened. “It’s hard, because a lot of the cast are working full-time and giving up their free time. “We were actually just back in the rehearsal room last night. The energy was so high and everybody was smiling. “I can’t walk into a rehearsal without smiling,” she added, laughing. “My director Christine is like, ‘this is a serious moment Molly, you need to stop smiling!’” England will play the headstrong and free-spirited Sybylla Melvyn, in Skin of Our Teeth’s local production of My Brilliant Career. The play is based on Stella Franklin’s 1901 novel, made into a film in 1979, about Sybylla’s adventures in rural 1890s Australia. “She has the most hilariously heightened lexicon for someone who lives on a farm in the middle of nowhere,” England said. “The whole book is a love letter to the Australian landscape and being a young woman. But this is not a romance.” The play follows Sybylla as drought and her father’s poor business decisions force her to live with her grandmother, and later work as a governess for an illiterate neighbour. “The kids are feral and they have no dignity in their living at all, but their morals are really strong,” England said. “The kindness they show her, she couldn’t get anywhere else in her journey.” Sybylla must choose between her desire to love and her dream of becoming a writer when she meets wealthy young Harold Beecham. “You get to watch her struggle with the social expectations of her time – there were so many expectations in those days on what a women can be,” England said. These expectations are the same that confronted her creator Stella Franklin, who

wrote books under the pseudonym Miles Franklin. “She was so ahead of her time,” England said. While society has come a long way since, the play’s themes remain relevant for expectations of Australian businesswomen, mothers and women in general face today, according to England. The play is just her second production outside her high school, Christian College, where she first discovered her love of theatre. “The teachers there created a space that was a really powerful thing to be part of,” she said.

“All of these skills like public speaking, collaboration and learning to listen to people amalgamated into this wonderful thing called acting.” She studied drama on her way to a 97.2 ATAR in year 12, giving up community theatre for 2020 to “narrow in on school drama projects”. “I was a bit shocked with how I went,” she said. “I knew that if I was going to maintain my sanity through year 12 I had to choose things I enjoyed. “I managed to get a good mark because I worked really hard and really enjoyed what I

was doing.” She began studying at the University of Melbourne this year, and hopes to begin theatre class next year. “That’s what I find joy in and what I love to do,” she said. She cannot wait to share Sybylla’s story when My Brilliant Career plays at Waurn Ponds Hall from August 14 to 29. “Storytelling will always overcome any situation we’re put in, because it’s integral to who we are,” she said.

Dredging photography secrets from centuries past A Newcomb photographer taking his craft back into the depths of time has joined three very different artists to celebrate their shared love of nature. Kalimna, now showing at The Hue and Cry Collective, combines Jonathan Dredge’s fine art photography with Chris de Hoog’s abstract painting, Mark Trinham’s striking illustrations and Jessi Rebel’s emerging Indigenous art. “All the artists are inspired by nature – that’s the connecting point with the artworks,” Dredge said. “We all work in different mediums but we’re all inspired by the natural world.” The 34-year-old’s photography is a mysterious mix of metal plates, silver nitrate and other chemicals, revealing details and textures beyond the spectrum of natural light. “You get this magical mystical view on the world of nature that you don’t get with the naked eye,” he said. “You get luminous qualities broader than the spectrum of visible light. It’s kind of hard to say in words – that’s why I use photography.” Metal plate photography dates back to the mid-1800s before the invention of film. A social worker by day, Dredge studied fine art photography at RMIT a decade ago, and his love of “really organic processes” led him to learn the archaic form of photography from an expert in Melbourne. “The last few years I’ve really started delving a lot deeper into it,” he said. His work, shot in a studio, reveals sea 24 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 6 August, 2021

dragons, moths and even bushes in stunning detail. “You get happy accidents that look beautiful,” he said. “It’s a place where you can be grounded and get back to your deeper self.”

Dredge enlisted his fellow artists and curated their work for his new exhibition, Kalimna, which he named after an Otways waterfall. “I thought it would be great to bring together totally different mediums but with the same

connection,” he said. Like Dredge, Rebel and de Hoog have studios at The Hue and Cry Collective in central Geelong. “I know Chris and Jessi personally and I’m a big fan of their work,” he said. Jessi Rebel is a Wiradjuri artist, living on Wadawurrung country. “She’s one of our region’s most exciting emerging artists - her rich contemporary artworks flow with her connection to country, the land and the sea,” Dredge said. De Hoog, on the other hand, creates vibrant abstract paintings saturated with moving hues and inspired by memories and impressions of nature. “He finds inspiration in his hometown of Geelong and it’s beautiful surrounds,” Dredge said. Torquay multi-disciplinary artist Mark Trinham is best-known for his sculptures, particularly public works. But his passion for conservation also inspired him to create Landcare collector cards and a series of other striking illustrations. “He had those works already and was happy to show them, so I was happy to have him,” Dredge said. “His illustration work is incredibly detailed and beautiful.” Kalimna is open at Hue and Cry Collective until August 21.

Two-man show gets it right Keleman Motors is a well-respected name in Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula and has been for more than 40 years. Shane Lockyer and Joe Atkinson took ownership of the region’s only independent Mazda specialist three years ago and Shane says it’s meticulous workmanship and customer focus that’s seen them continue building on a solid foundation. “We offer a strictly honest approach to workmanship of the highest quality,” Shane says. “We’re also known for our fair prices.”

TRIO OF INDEPENDENTLY OWNED WORKSHOPS SPECIALISING IN ALL EUROPEAN BRANDS

The duo each has more than 15 years’ experience in the trade and make sure looking after their customers is a top priority as they carry out servicing and repairs to all makes and models. “There’s just the two of us in the workshop,” Joe says, “so customers can talk directly to the mechanic actually doing the work. And we always take time to explain in detail any issues their car may have. “No work is ever carried out without approval, but we’ll recommend what a vehicle

needs. Then the decision is left to the customer whether to go ahead.” Shane finishes by saying, “It’s just a two-man show but we do it right – price and quality-wise.” Keleman Motors, Factory 3, 13-15 Crown Street, South Geelong.

Tight fight for top four

Pashley to take on the world’s best

LOCAL TENNIS

Donna Schoenmaekers After two weeks off the court amid Victoria’s latest COVID-19 lockdown, tennis returned to Geelong on Saturday in almost perfect conditions. With two rounds to go before finals, things could not be closer in the Section 6 boys. At the start of the day, Geelong Lawn was top of the table, a point ahead of Waurn Ponds, four ahead of Barwon Heads and 10 ahead of Grovedale Black in fourth. By the end of the round, the top three teams were separated by percentage only, on 66 points each. Barwon Heads claimed top spot with a confidence-building 4-2 win over Geelong Lawn. Barwon Heads started strong with Campbell Hutton and Max Creati taking their singles sets, but Archie Catanzariti and Sam Knights struck back to the level the sets, with Geelong Lawn just four games behind. Barwon Heads did not waiver in the doubles, with Michael Sheridan and Jasper Delaney hitting back from their singles losses to take their doubles 6-3 and Hutton and Creati taking theirs 6-1 to seal the win. Waurn Ponds hosted Grovedale Black in a match that went down to the wire. Ishan Phule and Ashton Hageman continued their unbeaten record in singles taking the first two sets for Black, before Ethan Terpstra and Katalia Mayes won their singles for Waurn Ponds to level the match at two-sets-all, with Grovedale ahead by three games. Both doubles sets were tight with Grovedale

getting on top in the first 6-4. Waurn Ponds took the second in a tie-break, 6-5, to level the sets on three-all, with Grovedale scraping through for the win. In the other matches, Gabe Egan helped Grovedale Yellow take a 4-2 win over St Mary’s away from home, winning both his sets. Drysdale-Clifton Springs improved their chances of moving up the ladder with a 4-2 win over seventh-placed Highton. Jaeger Fawcett was a standout at number one taking both his sets 6-3 in his team’s first win for the season. In the lead-up to finals, Grovedale Yellow still has a statistical chance of making fourth spot, but will have to overcome club rivals Black next week then Highton (7th), and rely on poor losses from the top teams.

Geelong Lawn has the best chance of finishing minor premiers with Drysdale-Clifton Springs (8th) and St Mary’s (6th) in its run home. Waurn Ponds has a tough match this week with Barwon Heads, then finishes off with Drysdale-Clifton Springs. But Waurn Ponds had a comfortable 4-2 win over Barwon Heads in their first meeting this season, so top spot remains a possibility. Grovedale Black have club rivals Yellow and Barwon Heads on their radar, and will need to play well to ensure Yellow does not steal its place in the finals. Barwon Heads has the toughest run with Waurn Ponds and Grovedale Black coming up. While the side cannot lose its place in the finals, they will need to finish in the top two to secure a second chance.

Geelong celebrates Djilang round Geelong Cats will again don their Indigenous guernseys when they take on GWS Giants tonight for Djilang Round, following the finalisation of fixtures on Monday. The Cats announced the annual round would go ahead after the AFL locked in timings for round 21 amid the ever-changing COVID-19

situation nationwide. The side will again don the guernsey, designed by Wadawurrung traditional owner Corrina Eccles, which they wore for the Sir Doug Nicholls round earlier this year. Djilang, the Wadawurrung root of the word Geelong, recognises the impact of Indigenous

people on Australian Rules Football. The match, beginning 7.50pm at GMHBA Stadium, features a pre-game Welcome to Country ceremony and a gift exchange between the two teams.

Geelong and the Surf Coast will cheer on Aireys Inlet physio Ellie Pashley when she takes on the world’s best in the women’s marathon at the Tokyo Olympics tomorrow. The 32-year-old will step off at 8am AEST in Sapporo in hot and humid conditions, with husband Joe Pashley watching from Aireys Inlet. “She’s a lot more relaxed than I am,” he told the Independent on Wednesday, after speaking to her online that morning. “She’s feeling really good. She’s relaxed because she’s had a good lead-in and the training has been as good as she could hope for. “The only thing she’s a little bit nervous about is the heat and humidity. But she’s been preparing for that.” In fact, Joe reckons the conditions could improve his wife’s chances, especially with her coach Julian Spence passing on his experience running in locations such as Doha, Qatar, in the Middle East.

‘‘

the training has been as good as she could hope for

’’

- Joe Pashley

The athletes are in strict lockdown at a hotel in Sapporo, and travel by bus daily to a private park reserved for them to train in. Ellie has clocked about 160km a week preparing for the marathon, which Joe said she would be “tapering off” this week. “This week she’ll be lucky to do 100km. She’s really wound it back because she’s preparing for the race.” Ellie ran cross country in high school and competed for Australia in the World Student Cross Country Championships while studying at university in her original hometown Albury. But she only began running longer distances in her mid-20s, building up to her first marathon at age 27 in Melbourne in 2016, with a time of two hours and 46 seconds. Her times continued to improve until she completed a marathon in Nagoya, Japan, in 2:26.21 – the eighth fastest time ever by an Australian woman. In October 2020, she battled travelling in a COVID-affected world to compete in the London Marathon, running 2:31.31 to place 12th shortly after returning from injury. Ellie will face Kenyan runner Brigid Kosgei, who set the world record of 2:14:04 in 2019. Meanwhile, the Grovedale parents of Australian cyclist Leigh Howard celebrated on Wednesday after his team won bronze in a valiant comeback. Howard’s teammate Alex Porter’s handlebars inexplicably collapsed during Monday’s qualifying session. But the team fought back against Switzerland on Tuesday to make the bronze ride-off, and defeated New Zealand when one of its riders crashed in a dramatic race on Wednesday. Kyra Cooney-Cross, who went to high school in Torquay, was set to join the Matildas playing for bronze last night against the top-ranked US team. The game was scheduled to begin after the Independent went to press. Luke Voogt

Guthrie to play 200th By Luke Voogt Last year’s Carji Greeves medallist Cam Guthrie says he is more focused on the GWS Giants than “thinking about the past” ahead of his 200th game tonight. “[I have] got my mind on the job tomorrow, and one eye on what’s ahead,” he told a press conference yesterday. “I’ll take the weekend to catch up with some friends and family and really think about the previous 200 games.” Tonight’s clash with the Giants is vital as the Cats look to secure a top two spot for a home qualifying final to give them the best chance at a premiership, after last year’s heartbreak against Richmond. “I think we’ve got the potential to do it,” Guthrie said. “Realising that potential and accomplishing something together would be massive for our team, but also the wider community, with everything that’s happened the last couple of years.”

The 28-year-old midfielder indicated he wanted to remain at the Cats following speculation about contract negotiations earlier this year. “We’re working towards an outcome at the moment that I think both parties will be really pleased with,” he said. “I’ve made it a priority to play really good footy and let that take care of itself. It was on my

mind a little bit earlier in the year. But coming into finals, it’s much more exciting to think about playing footy and realising a goal and a dream with the team, rather than thinking about a couple of pieces of paper. “I think we’re on the right track.” But he declined to confirm if and when he would sign a contract extension. “I’m not sure of the exact timeline yet,” Guthrie said. “We’ll see how it plays out. “We’re working hard to reach an agreement that both sides are happy with, and I’m hoping that will be soon.” Cats coach Chris praised the All-Australian midfielder on Wednesday. “He and I arrived at Geelong at the same time,” he said. “He’s probably evolved from a back initially to a bit of run-with type midfielder, who evolved again to an attacking midfielder. “He’s always based his game on defence and the contest, which is the thing I like about him the most.”

Cameron still one week away Star forward Jeremy Cameron could return next weekend, but coach Chris Scott has ruled him out of tonight’s clash against his former side. “He hasn’t knocked on my door because he knows he’s not playing, and he’s known for some time,” Scott told a press conference on Wednesday. “We’ve been quite clear about that with his rehab – there’s never been any suggestion from our end that he would play this week. “Probably the only area where there’s been some room for confusion is from the people that have watched him on the track, because he’s been performing really well. “I don’t think anyone needs me to elaborate too much on why we’re going to hold him back for a little bit longer.” Cameron injured his right hamstring for the third time this year in Geelong’s round 16 win over Essendon. While the 28-year-old will miss tonight’s game against GWS Giants at GMHBA Stadium, Scott indicated he would likely slot 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 6 August, 2021

straight into the Cats’ AFL side the following weekend. “I think he’ll play next week,” Scott said. “When he’s right to go he’s likely to play in our AFL team. Don’t hold me to it though.” The Cats are very close to clinching a top-four spot and a second-chance in the finals. But tonight’s game and the next two rounds will be vital for securing a top-two spot for a home qualifying final. The Cats cannot afford to let their guard down against the Giants, who are fighting to break into the eight. Scott indicated the Cats would likely go with a similar side to that which defeated North Melbourne in Hobart last Saturday, with competition for spots heating up at the pointy end of the season. “For the most part I think the players that missed last week will miss again this week,” he said. “It gives the guys that came in last week another opportunity to put their best case forward.” While acknowledging the “old cliché” that

the Cats’ depth was a “good problem” to have, he expressed empathy for those missing out. “The lack of VFL footy makes it even harder for those guys,” he said. But Scott said the Cats’ faith in their training program, in the temporary absence of VFL games, had allowed them to bring defender Zach Guthrie and first-gamer Nathan Kreuger into the side last Saturday. The younger brother of imminent 200-gamer Cam Guthrie, Zach, gathered 28 disposals against North Melbourne, while Kreuger impressed with his bursts of speed. “They’re just two examples that hopefully the guys that are a bit starved of opportunities can look to for a bit of inspiration,” Scott said. The return of the VFL, with Geelong taking on Werribee on Saturday, will provide opportunities for some players to break into the AFL side. “It gives us a really good look at where guys are at going into the last two games,” Scott said.

Garfish on fire, salmon on the chew ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos Once again the garfish have been on fire inside the bay with St Helens producing as many as you want! Pretty much any tide and any time of day have been fishing well – the trick is to get a good solid burley trail out with tiny pieces of bait suspended under a pencil float. St Helens is the current hot spot but there are plenty of other locations that are fishing well like Limeburners and Grammar School Lagoon. A few weeks of windy conditions have really fired up the rock fishing inside the bay as of late, with quality fish being caught. St Helens yet again being the hot spot. Pinkie snapper have been reported to be in good numbers off the rocks with fish reaching more than 2kg in weight and anglers saying they have been missing out on some much bigger catches too. Cunningham Pier has had a small run of silver whiting cruising up and down the jetty over the past week and typically, when we see them show up, the snapper aren’t too far behind. Queenscliff has been fishing well for calamari over the past week also, with the bight starting to produce some big specimens. Drifting through the deep water on a slack tide with silver whiting on a squid spike is working best. Ideally you want to fish in clean water, so the last few days of windy conditions could add some colour to it. But when it passes, it should be fishing well. The surf beaches along the coast have had a few reports of Australian salmon coming on the chew for anglers shore-casting with metal lures. Along the Great Ocean Road, the rock platforms are another prime location to go and have a cast. Bait fishing is also an effective method to pick up a few fish too. Wurdi Buloc Reservoir has been fishing quite well over the week with trout and redfin. Trout to 1.5kg have been in respectable numbers casting off the rocks, casting shallow diving hardbodies in minnow profile have been a prime lure to throw around for one. Redfin have also been biting well along there too with spoon lures working best.
