It is all smiles at Myers Street Dental As one of Geelong’s oldest and most trusted dentistry providers, Myers Street Dental has been nominated for the Geelong Business Excellence Awards for a second time, proving again that its approach to friendly, trustworthy and accessible dental care sets the business a cut above the rest. Founded in 1983, Myers Street Dental provides a variety of services to Geelong and surrounding suburbs, including general and cosmetic dentistry, implants, teeth whitening, cosmetic laser skin services and same-day digital dentistry. Made up of three principal dentists, three oral health therapists, two assistant dentists, a visiting specialist and twenty supporting staff, Myers Street Dental treats their patients like family, providing the latest in dental innovations through new technology and constantly upgrading their industry knowledge through extended study. Dr Gautam Herle is one of the principal dentists at the clinic. He is proud of his team and the care they take when assisting patients to achieve their dental goals. “We invest a lot of time in education and being upfront with technology, we’re always looking at the innovative part of dentistry and are the only practice in Geelong to have certain pieces of equipment, including the most advanced lasers in dentistry,” Dr Herle says.

The family-focused team at Myers Street Dental has been proudly servicing the Geelong region for almost 40 years. (Supplied) During the pandemic, the team have split into two sets of staff that cycle through running the clinic, ensuring that if any staff member is

exposed to a case of COVID-19, there is a set of staff that will be able to keep working to service Geelong and surrounding residents.

Fortunately, all staff members at the clinic have been able to keep their jobs and continue providing essential dental care to valued patients. With a strong presence in the local community, Myers Street Dental has provided local schools and sporting clubs with mouthguards at or below cost price for many years, and have also been involved in other fundraising efforts, including a school bag drive for bushfire victims. “Being nominated for this award has been a huge eye-opener as to how the practice runs, and gave us an insight into what we need to do to get the practice to the next level,” explains Dr Herle. “Even if we don’t win an award, it’s a bit of an exercise to find out what’s lacking and how we can better service our community.” Myers Street Dental Clinic is located at 34 Myers Street, Geelong.

The smart choice in occupational health and safety services Providing occupational health and safety consulting services to businesses has never been as important as during the last 18 months. SMARTin Safety is a Geelong business which has been doing just that, servicing industries such as construction and trade, manufacturing, farming and agriculture, healthcare, social services and professional service businesses. With 15 years of collective experience in the industry, SMARTin Safety has been nominated for the 2021 Geelong Business Excellence Awards. Specialising in developing safety systems for any site or workplace, SMARTin Safety offers as much or as little support as a business needs, from a one-off consultation to systematic site audits and complete management systems. Director of SMARTin Safety, Sarah Martin, started the business in 2018. During the pandemic, SMARTin Safety switched from on-site to remote work to continue providing businesses with essential OHS knowledge. “Our greatest achievement to date is that we have been able to support over 175 clients around the Geelong and regional Victoria area to improve their safety operations,” Sarah says. With a focus on delivering exceptional ad-

The SMARTin Safety team has been very involved with the local community, providing vouchers to local businesses for support with COVID planning, guest speaking at WorkSafe events, and volunteering on the Business Victoria Small Business Bus to promote OHS programs. “The most important thing for me, in terms of winning, would be being able to shine a spotlight on the role of health and safety in business, and to really be able to promote that so that businesses understand how a professional can support them to improve.” SMARTin Safety is located at Unit 4, 5 Bridge Street, Newtown.

All part of the Plan Plan Group Geelong (PGG) began in 2017 when directors of the Melbourne branch envisioned Geelong as an emerging and growing market. Evidently, this was an excellent decision, and PGG has now been nominated for the Geelong Business Excellence Awards (GBEA) for the second year in a row. Providing construction management services to the region, specialising in healthcare, aged care, education, hospitality, retail, government, community and commercial industry sectors, PGG’s impressive client list includes the likes of Barwon Health, City of Greater Geelong, Japara Aged Care, St Joseph’s College and Geelong Grammar. From fit outs to refurbishments, extensions and new builds, PGG’s main focus is to establish relationships and deliver works with minimal interruption to clients’ operations. PGG prides itself on understanding what’s important to clients so that projects can be carefully customised with a focus on delivering upon expectations. “From my perspective, what sets us apart from our competition is our people,” explains Jarod Mason, PGG’s General Manager. “The point of difference here is we are experienced in listening to our clients and understand what’s important so we can customise a project delivery methodology focused on delivering to their expectations.” Having grown to a team of 26 staff members in less than four years, PGG’s office is located in the heart of Geelong. With a selective interview and employment process, the staff at PGG are a carefully curated

collection of individuals suited to both the work and the environment. “We look for staff with a great attitude and good cultural fit,” says Jarod. PGG has had a strong presence in the community since its inception, sponsoring local sporting clubs and health care initiatives. “We also look at ways to brighten people’s days,” says Jarod. One such example of this is PGG’s introduction of a ‘Where’s Wally’ game for the families to play whilst the company completes work at a new local children’s rehabilitation centre. “The kids love looking for Wally, from outside the building zone of course!” Jarod and the team are extremely excited to again be nominated for the Geelong Business Excellence Awards. “Even if we don’t win an award, I consider our team as winners already. It was a great team effort to put our submission together.” Plan Group Geelong is located at L2/73 Malop Street, Geelong. For more information, phone (03) 4246 0360 or visit www.plangroup. com.au.

Gas protest hits streets By Justin Flynn Members of the Geelong Extinction Rebellion (GER) staged a peaceful protest at Geelong Library this week to oppose the use of the facility “for the promotion of the Viva Refinery Gas Project”. The library was due to host a community information session for Viva to promote its proposed gas terminal at Geelong Refinery. The original session was planned to take place on Monday, but it has been pushed back to November 29. Geelong Extinction Rebellion felt the library

had a “duty of care to our children to not allow its venues to be used to promote fossil fuel projects that will contribute to further warming of our planet”. The protest was attended by about 20 people in two groups to comply with COVID restrictions. “We could easily have had more but did not promote this action as a protest to the general public, our intention was to only have a small number of people due to COVID restrictions and we also felt it was more effective to conduct the action in this way,” GER spokesperson Jess said.

“There was a great range of ages – younger parents and children, grandparents and older community members.” Jess, who did not want her surname published, said the group was pleased with how things went and stressed the protest was peaceful and nonviolent. “We feel we achieved what we had hoped in terms of sending a clear message to the Geelong Regional Library Corporation that our public libraries should be spaces for learning not promotion of fossil fuel projects,” she said. “We had no negative public feedback and the majority of library patrons and staff we spoke

to expressed both surprise and concern that the library was being used to promote fossil fuel projects such as the Viva Refinery gas terminal. “The general feeling seemed to be that the library was very much a community space for the benefit of people not for the use of corporations to promote these types of projects. No one person we spoke to expressed any climate change denial, they seemed very aware of the dire consequences of climate change and the need to drastically reduce fossil fuel emissions.” Viva Energy was contacted for comment.

Locked out of ‘premium’ suburbs First homeowners, low-income workers, and next-generation locals are at risk of being excluded from the Bellarine Peninsula and the Surf Coast, according to new analysis by demographer Bernard Salt. Known as the ‘Manhattan effect’, where only the well-to-do can afford to live locally and service workers must commute in from distant suburbs, the trend is being driven by rising house prices, the disappearance of rental accommodation, a rise in rents and reduced scope for home ownership amongst low-income earners, Mr Salt said. Mr Salt’s analysis, commissioned by

‘‘

This is an issue that confronts many seachange communities - Bernard Salt

’’

planning consultants Dominion Property Group, explored the social, cultural and demographic impacts of plans to reduce future urban development on the Bellarine Peninsula as a result of the implementation of the Distinctive Areas and Landscapes (DAL) initiative by the Victorian state government. Mr Salt’s analysis found that the DAL

could have the effect of pushing house prices higher as retiring baby boomers and work-from-home lifestylers compete for residency. “This is an issue that confronts many seachange communities throughout Australia and it is being exacerbated by the work-from-home movement which favours knowledge workers,” Mr Salt said. “There will always be premium suburbs but the idea of whole towns being cut-off from further measured development is at odds with the Australian principle of providing opportunity for all.”

If the Manhattan effect is left unaddressed it will dramatically alter the largely egalitarian social and demographic character of impacted communities, Mr Salt said. According to Mr Salt, an effective policy response is to make provision for additional housing to alleviate price pressure on existing housing stock, coupled with the delivery of targeted social and affordable housing to accommodate service workers. “This is an important social issue as it raises questions about ensuring there is wide access to coastal lifestyle communities,” he said.

Health insurer makes jab compulsory

Plover plight patrol to keep eggs safe Conservation regulator officers and Parks Victoria rangers are patrolling local beaches to help protect the threatened hooded plover. As spring reaches its halfway point, beaches will become busier and officers will be raising awareness on how beachgoers can help the plight of the beach-nesting ‘hoodie’. Hooded plovers lay eggs on Victoria’s shoreline from Nelson to the Bellarine Peninsula. They have a high rate of nest failure, with the eggs easily trampled on by beach users and wayward dogs. If an incubating adult bird is scared away from its nest by passers-by or dogs, its eggs can bake in the sun or become too cold in the

cool weather. This results in the death of the chick developing inside the egg. Officers and rangers are encouraging people to take note of signage at beaches advising of hooded plover nests, give the birds plenty of space and keep dogs away from fenced-off nesting areas. “Small changes to behaviour on beaches can help hooded plovers as they face the challenge of nesting while sharing their habitat with beachgoers,” Barwon South West forest and wildlife officer Monique Cugliari said. “If beach visitors could do their best not to disturb nesting hooded plovers and keep their dogs on leads around fenced-off habitat, it would make such a difference

to the local hooded plover population.” During the nesting season the Conservation Regulator and Parks Victoria will have a presence at beaches near Portland, Port Fairy, Warrnambool, Apollo Bay, Moggs Creek, Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove. The timing and locations of patrols will be based on data provided by BirdLife Australia, which co-ordinates the monitoring of hooded plovers along Victoria’s coastline. Last breeding season BirdLife recorded 1003 hooded plover eggs along Victoria’s coastline – 185 hatched and only 66 chicks survived to become juveniles, including 26 on shorelines between Port Fairy and the Bellarine Peninsula.

GMHBA has made COVID vaccinations mandatory for all employees. The announcement follows the public health direction announced by the state government last Friday that healthcare facility workers must have at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine by today or have an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccine by October 29, with proof of full vaccination required by December 15. GMHBA chief executive David Greig said the decision was to protect its staff, patients and members from becoming infected with or transmitting COVID-19. “This decision reflects our ongoing commitment as a health company to protect the health of our community. We firmly believe that we are healthier together when vaccinated,” he said. The local health insurer has also decided to introduce a mandatory vaccination requirement for all GMHBA staff currently working from home. This is due to the expectation that once the 80 per cent double vaccination rate in Victoria is reached, employees will be able to return to their workplaces. Proof of full vaccination will be required to be shown by January 6. This is the date when GMHBA will begin bringing staff back into the office, subject to advice from the Victorian government, the health insurer said in a statement. “This mandatory vaccination decision has been made because the health and wellbeing of our staff, members and patients is our number one priority,” Mr Greig said. “It is the right and only thing for GMHBA to do to support the health and wellbeing of our community.”

Ford fans to gather in Geelong to celebrate iconic vehicles Ford fans can start getting excited – the countdown is on to the largest gathering of Ford vehicles in Australia. All Ford Day has announced that its 31st annual celebration of the blue oval will be held on Sunday, April 3, 2022. Enjoying its second year at the Eastern Park location adjacent to the Geelong waterfront, All Ford Day is a staple of the event calendar for Geelong residents and the Ford community since 1991. All Ford Day encapsulates the rich history of the Ford Motor Company in Geelong, spanning over 90 years.

The Ford Motor Company has been involved as the major partner of All Ford Day since its inception, and each year more than 1200 vehicles are displayed to document Ford’s evolution from the Model T to the Mustang, with everything in between. “All Ford Day provides the Ford community a chance to come together in appreciation for a beloved icon of motoring,” All Ford Day event secretary Chris Sager said. “We’ve all missed the opportunity to be among like-minded motoring enthusiasts, and it’s thanks to the efforts of our volunteers, local council and state government that we are

Children’s week is back The annual Geelong Children’s Week is back later this month, with something for kids of all ages. The 16th edition of the week will include a mixture of in-person and digital events, to give children and their parents the opportunity to connect with community organisations. This year’s theme is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child Article 15: ‘Children have the right to choose their own friends and safely connect with others’. Among the activities are a virtual show by local children’s performers, The Mik Maks, a day of activities at Milla Milla playgroup, a virtual performance by magician Dazzling Dan and an online session of songs and stories with Granny Lee and her ukulele. The at home activities include art and craft kits from the National Wool Museum and

the Grovedale Toy Library, and a ‘Healthy at Home’ toolkit. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan welcomed the return of some in-person activities in this year’s program. “More than ever, it’s important children are provided opportunities to connect with their friends in a safe and engaging way, and organisers have done a fantastic job of creating a full program of events,” he said. “Geelong Children’s Week is an excellent example of events that families can enjoy at low or no cost and is a wonderful opportunity to promote the rights of children.” The event will run from October 23 to October 31.

Helping to change the world Armstrong Creek’s Ainslee Hooper hopes her experiences being a disabled person in an ableist society will inspire others to make a difference in the world. She speaks with Justin Flynn about sharing her story in the new book, The Women Changing the World. Ainslee Hooper said she was “shocked and honoured” when asked to share her story in an upcoming book written by women who are changing the world. The book, The Women Changing the World, is a collection of stories for women by women focused on inspiring purpose, vision and everyday activism. It features real-life, relatable role models from all walks of life who are women changing the world through entrepreneurialism, education, conscious living, giving back, advocacy, innovation and more. Born and bred Geelong local, Ainslee, who now calls Armstrong Creek home, was asked by co-editor Peace Mitchell from The Women’s Business School to contribute to the book, which will be released next month. “In the book, I’ve discussed my journey, and some of the barriers throughout my life that, although I didn’t realise it at the time, were all leading me to Ainslee Hooper Consulting,” she says. Established in 2019, Ainslee Hooper Consulting offers a range of bespoke services aimed at reducing the risk of ableism and promoting disability inclusion at the grassroots level. “I’ve worked with councils, disability service providers, public venues and sustainability services firms to identify invisible barriers that inhibit disability inclusion,” Ainslee says. “Consulting on projects such as disability action plans, governance reviews, speaking engagements, and much more. Now I can add author to the list. “The barriers I’ve faced have been the result of being a disabled person in an ableist society.”

Ainslee Hooper has contributed to a book, The Women Changing the World.

Ainslee said she has never considered herself to be a change maker. “I remember thinking ‘I don’t have anything to share, I’m just doing my thing’,” she says. “There are so many other disability advocates

out there who have been fighting for the disability community for years. “It wasn’t until I started the process of writing that I realised my story might help inspire others who see themselves in my story.”

Ainslee had a sneak peek at some of the other contributions to the book and it left her very impressed. “They are so powerful, they left a lump in my throat,” she says. “So many stories of adversity have resulted in women doing what they do today to help others. “I feel honoured to be included among them and to help inspire others who may have shared a similar path or see themselves in these stories.” Away from work, Ainslee is in the first year of a PhD in anthropology at Deakin University, researching the experiences of disabled people in Geelong during COVID-19 and COVID normal. “I also compete in benchpress with Global Powerlifting Committee, so I’m at the gym when I can be, looking forward to the next comp, whenever that may be,” she says. Peace says: “Believing in yourself is an incredible force of power that starts with you. “Whether you want to change the world, invent an incredible product, take on the big brands, inspire people, take your business global, start a movement or dream bigger in any way it’s time to take action and follow that calling. “It can be challenging to be a successful leader and Ainslee Hooper gives this advice for others thinking about following their calling to make a difference in the world.” The Women Changing the World launches nationally in November with an online festival featuring interviews and presentations from each of the 34 authors.

Program recognises our everyday heroes The 2021 Westfield Local Heroes have been announced. The program awarded each Westfield Local Hero a $10,000 grant to recognise the positive impact they are making to the local community. Here are their stories. Andy Brittain Geelong Youth Engagement Andy Brittain has spent the past nine years helping at-risk youth turn their lives around through an intensive personal and physical development program delivered by Geelong Youth Engagement. Andy developed the concept for the year-long program while working as a police officer. The Geelong Kokoda Youth Program finishes with a demanding trek along the Kokoda Trail in Papua New Guinea. Up to 16 teenage participants are selected from local state high schools who are facing different challenges in their lives which may include struggles with mental health, self-harming, homelessness, anti-social behaviour and family violence. Andy is rewarded by seeing past participants continue on to be successful into their adult lives following their involvement in the program. “It has reinforced that I am on the right path,” Andy said. “My motivation to do more is getting stronger as there are many more people in our community needing our help.”

Anthony Woodbury Feed Me Bellarine Anthony Woodbury stepped away from his burgeoning career as a chef to co-found Feed Me Bellarine, which provides thousands of meals a month to families in need. Anthony is an exceptional chef and was climbing the culinary ranks. Then he had a chance conversation with local caterer Lana Purcell, who had started packaging leftover food to donate. The outcome of their chat was Feed Me Bellarine. 6 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 October, 2021

Andy Brittain, Anthony Woodbury and Claire Faulmann.

The pair rescue food and meals from local hospitality and wholesale businesses to distribute. They also source fresh produce to create chef-quality dishes with the help of over 100 volunteers. They have distributed more than 100,000 meals over the past two years. The charity also runs a supermarket where families can pick up fresh produce and a cafe that serves gourmet meals on a pay-what-you-can basis. Apart from filling bellies, Anthony has helped save more than 238,000kg of food from landfill. Anthony likes to fly below the radar and feels humbled to be nominated as a Westfield Local Hero. “I was head chef at various wineries and grew up in extreme poverty,” he said.

“So when the opportunity to use leftover food and meals to benefit the public came up, I went for it with all I had.”

Claire Faulmann OneCare Geelong Claire Faulmann refused to let the pandemic interrupt OneCare’s mission to support marginalised people through food relief and counselling. Claire took over the CEO reins just two days before the pandemic was declared and swung into action to ensure her team and volunteers could continue their work as lockdowns forced many other community services to shut their doors. Under her guidance, the charity extended rather than shuttered its programs. The weekly

community meal and foodbank service for 70 people expanded to deliver 500 meals a week. OneCare’s programs are designed to support those who are socially isolated and disadvantaged, through meeting immediate practical needs and providing strong relationship connections. Claire is admired by her team and volunteers for her positive attitude, collaborative approach and commitment to introducing new initiatives that promote increasing life skills and community participation. “I believe that we have a responsibility to be kind, to share the wealth that we have and to empower others to make meaningful changes in their lives. It is an absolute privilege to do what I do,” she said.

NEWS Mosquito treatment program update This spring and summer, we’re likely to experience an increase in mosquitoes as our treatment program focusses on ground control around townships while we seek a 10-year permit to continue treatments in wetlands. We’ve applied to the Commonwealth Government to continue to conduct treatments in Ramsar listed wetlands in our region including the Bellarine peninsula, while our ground treatments outside the wetlands continue until May. People, other animals, and the general environment are not adversely affected by the treatments as we only use products approved by the Australia Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority for mosquito control. We target mosquitos in their larval stage to prevent adult mosquitoes from emerging but once emerged, we are unable to treat them.

WADAWURRUNG COUNTRY Friday, 15 October, 2021 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 7

NEWS GEELONGINDY.COM.AU

MY GEELONG Christine Middleton decided that she wanted to turn her focus to music and it resulted in a mid-career change. The local musician speaks to Luke Voogt about that decision and what she enjoys the most about her new career direction. Tell us a bit about yourself? I was brought up in Alexandra and after living in Melbourne, Maryborough and Jerilderie, I relocated to Portarlington 20 years ago. I live with my ex-Riverina farmer and husband Tim, who is a local handyman and Australian Bush Poet and we have a number of children and grandchildren between us. After working as a social worker for many years, I decided to change careers to pursue a living as a harpist.

How long have you been performing for? I’ve been a street performer with COGG for eight years and usually play in Little Malop Street. The harp is a unique and beautiful instrument that evokes different reactions from the passersby. Some people sit in the garden chairs and close their eyes, some stand still and watch in fascination, others want to talk about their musical journeys. I play all the old melodic classics such as Unforgettable and Somewhere over the Rainbow and every Christmas I get into the spirit by dressing up as a Christmas Angel, complete with wings and halo.

(Louisa Jones) 252014_29

How did you get into playing the harp? Growing up I played piano and guitar. I loved folk music and sang all the songs of Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul & Mary and The Seekers. Some years ago, we billeted a Welsh harpist at our home during the National Celtic Festival held in Portarlington. I was immediately drawn to the beauty and the sound of the instrument and asked her for a lesson on the last day of the festival. I have been playing the harp ever since.

What are your favourite things to do or places to visit in Geelong? I tend to stay local and enjoy long walks around our beautiful bayside beach in Portarlington. I often visit the Geelong Gallery or walk along the Geelong Waterfront admiring the colourful bollards and enjoying the “Buzz” of the area. I always stop for a glass of local wine at The Edge.

How are you coping with COVID-19, personally and professionally? As a professional musician and stage performer, it’s been pretty tough with festivals and special events being cancelled. I have been re-booked three times to date for a local wedding so it’s tough for brides, venues and other professionals within the industry as well.

Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan, Cr Kylie Grzybek and Cr Eddy Kontelj get ready for Christmas in Geelong. (Supplied)

What’s something interesting about you that people might not know? I’ve said some pretty rude things about banjo players in the past but now I’ve begun learning to play it myself and enjoying the instrument immensely. I’m told that St Peter is turning harp players away at the pearly gates and only accepting banjo players currently, so I’m hedging my bets.

YOUR SAY Rubbish complaint Is it “legal“ for neighbours to dump their excess waste in your rubbish bins, without first requesting approval to do so? I have no problem granting such permission, in most circumstances. However, all too often such neighbours dump their rubbish in the wrong rubbish bins which might have adverse consequences for the bin owner(s) concerned. Including not having their rubbish picked up by the council’s subcontractors. Michael J Gamble Belmont

Geelong begins Christmas countdown An expanded program of free Christmas events and activities, including a giant Christmas selfie trail across 22 destinations, will be unveiled in Geelong. The City of Greater Geelong gave a sneak peek into the festive cheer, with highlights including a floating Christmas tree, projections on City Hall, school Christmas trees in Johnstone Park, a Christmas trail, street entertainment, Santa’s letterbox, selfie competition and a Giving Tree Appeal. Deputy mayor Trent Sullivan this week unveiled a glimpse of the city’s promotional campaign for Christmas alongside a billboard at Eastern Beach that proclaims ‘Christmas is coming’. Next week, a giant Christmas tree will also be rolled out on the wall of the civic carpark opposite Geelong City Hall. “With an iconic Christmas tree that 8 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 October, 2021

illuminates Corio Bay, the City of Greater Geelong is Victoria’s home of Christmas this holiday season,” Cr Sullivan said. “It has been a tough year for residents and businesses so we’re lighting the way with a program of free events and activities so that everyone can experience the joy of Christmas.” Brownbill ward councillor and arts, live entertainment and hospitality portfolio chair, Eddy Kontelj said council had been successful in bringing forward the build-up to Christmas. “Given the challenging pandemic environment we have all been living through, we really want to create some positivity now, whilst also providing the community, including families and children, with something to look forward to and get excited about,” Cr Kontelj said. “November and December are such a critical time of year for our hospitality businesses, so

we’re encouraging everyone to dine out locally while enjoying the free entertainment and attractions provided across the region.” Windemere ward councillor Kylie Grzybek said the ‘Giant Christmas Selfie Trail’ will feature 22 destinations across the region, including five interactive artworks across Corio, North Geelong, and Norlane. “Whether you want to stay local or pack the kids in the car to visit all 22 destinations on the Giant Selfie Trail, there’s something for everyone,” Cr Grzybek said. at are perfect for family photos and selfies. There will be candy canes, a surfing Santa and of course some mistletoe.” Prior to COVID-19, Geelong’s Christmas program generated an estimated $18.5 million in economic activity and attracted more than 330,000 visitors, council said. The floating tree alone attracted 193,000 visitors.

On the weekend I went shopping at Aldi just before the store opened. There were approximately 20 people ahead of me and not one of them used the QR code system to check in as is required by the government rules. Quite few of them were either not wearing masks or not wearing them correctly. It is no surprise then that Victoria is experiencing record numbers of COVID-19 cases and that the contract tracers have been overwhelmed. The longer people do the wrong thing, the longer our state will be in lockdown or have restrictions imposed. David Charles Newtown

Challenge leads to a connection By Justin Flynn Months after Covid sent the world into lockdown, Barwon Heads personal trainer Justin Moran sat down with his wife Lauren to watch the documentary My Octopus Teacher. The show follows a South African man who ventures into the ocean every day without fail to bond with an octopus and films his interactions. It gave Justin an idea. He set out to enter the ocean, river, creek, lake or pool (as long as it wasn’t heated) for 365 consecutive days without a wetsuit.

Justin’s business, Just In Time Personal Training, turned eight on October 1 last year so that was the perfect day to start the challenge. He successfully completed it on September 30 this year. Justin describes himself as a “go go” person who can’t sit still. “To get into board shorts, grab a towel and then walk, ride or drive to the beach every day, jump in, dry off and then come home would effectively be a 15 to 30 minute exercise,” he said. “It would allow me to slow down, enjoy the scenery, take the plunge into cold, and sometimes really cold, water which would take

me out of my comfort zone and even though I pride myself on my mental strength and resilience, it would really push me mentally and take me to another level. It was also something that I don’t know of another person that has embarked on such a challenge and that made it something original and exciting.” It quickly became the highlight of Justin’s day although the early days required a “mental psych-up”. “I would genuinely look forward to it and felt amazing after almost, if not, every day’s swim,” he said. “My mind remains calm and I have a real connection with nature and marine life.”

Justin said it was amusing to see the reactions from many people who thought he was a “lunatic” over the 365 days. “But it always brought a smile to people watching,” he said. Justin said he never started out to complete the task for charity. “When I started this little adventure, I didn’t plan or want to align myself with a charity and make people feel compelled to donate money to a cause,” he said. “So, if this has motivated you and you feel like you want to, please by all means I would like to nominate the National Breast Cancer Foundation.”

Physios call for more freedoms

Students encourage healthy eating Two Deakin University students are hoping to encourage more young people to develop healthy eating habits through a series of fun videos showcasing simple and nutritious meals. Third-year bachelor of nutrition students Chelsea Hughes and Alessia Indovino have created a selection of recipes, packed with goodness, that form part of a new healthy eating resource called Nourished@Deakin being launched as part of National Nutrition Week. National Nutrition Week is an annual campaign encouraging Australians to increase their vegetable consumption to the recommended five serves per day. Ms Hughes said she wanted to inspire young people with fresh ideas about meal planning and preparation and encourage them to have fun in the kitchen at the same time. “Most of us think about good health and nutrition but it can be difficult to know where

to start when it comes to improving our eating habits,” Ms Hughes said. “I’m really excited to use my knowledge of nutrition to help others become the healthiest versions of themselves and build a really positive relationship with food.” As part of their work, the pair surveyed Deakin students about their food behaviours, how they navigate meal planning and eating. Ms Indovina said the feedback they

received helped them identify target areas for improvement. “We developed recipes that increased vegetable consumption, were affordable, sustainable and focused on meals that are commonly skipped such as breakfast,” she said. Nourished@Deakin features resources including tips on food storage, dietary guidelines and three recipe categories: breakfast, lunch and dinner and snacks and treats. “We grouped lunch and dinner together to show these meals as interchangeable and easy to make in bulk so there are leftovers in the fridge ready to go,” Ms Indovina said. The recipe videos were filmed at Deakin’s Waurn Ponds Estate with help from Waurn Ponds’ executive chef Adam Draper and feature ingredients sourced from the Waurn Ponds Community Garden which was established to promote sustainable cooking with fresh seasonal fresh produce.

Allied health providers feel like they’ve been “forgotten about” and the health system will be under further pressure if restrictions don’t ease for their industry. Australian Physiotherapy Association president Tom Hindhaugh said industry was frustrated by the restrictions, which meant many patients were going without care they would normally receive. He said Geelong being in and out of lockdown made it even more confusing. “[Patients] are going between urgent and essential care,” he said. “That means limited face-to-face contact, only if they’re deteriorating hat they would end up in hospital. When restrictions eased it was only essential care. The problem is with this, patients have been delayed and we haven’t been able to get them better.” Mr Hindhaugh said that physios have a huge backlog of patients and the decision to keep them from seeing more patients was taking a toll on mental health. He said people being able could go to the pub or a hairdresser a in regional Victoria made it more frustrating. “We think the Andrews government has forgotten about us, it’s not clear when allied health will be able to be fully back up and running,“ he said. Geelong-based physio Marcus Dripp said physios should be able to decide which patients need to be seen in-person. “The more deferral of non-essential care, the more risks of escalation over time,“ he said. “Then you might be in a position where you need to see a GP, be hospitalised or even need surgery. “The greatest challenge is hospitality and capacity, and when you can’t treat things in community care, you put pressure on the hospital capacity. Mr Dripps said the mental health of patients was deteriorating, with many not able to be physically active and be in the community as they normally would. Tara Murray

Helping our veterans to get moving and to stay active Torquay RSL president Bob Tyler maintains his level of fitness with daily walks and regular exercise. He reckons physical activity strengthens his mental wellness. “Increasing your physical activity has been shown to assist in the prevention of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, in addition to supporting a healthy body weight as well as joints, muscles and bones,” he said. “To maintain good levels of both physical and mental wellness, it is recommended we exercise at least 30 minutes a day.” Despite COVID restrictions that may apply during Veterans’ Health Week this month,

Torquay RSL has planned outdoor activities to help veterans and emergency services members ‘Get Moving’. Supporting the health and wellbeing of veterans and first responders, Get Moving is the key focus for this year’s Veterans’ Health Week to be held from October 16 to 24. Hundreds of planned events will take place around Australia to introduce and encourage veterans and their families to become active in one form or another. Mr Tyler pointed out the benefits to veterans and emergency services responders taking part in Veterans’ Health Week physical activities.

“One of the most important aspects of maintaining overall health and wellbeing is getting moving,” he said. “Physical activity sessions in controlled groups, whether they be walking, yoga, tai chi, gym activity or sport, not only get us moving, but they provide a great opportunity to meet other veterans and their families. “We know from research sources that physical activity and social interaction combine to improve veterans’ mental health and overall wellbeing.” For more information, visit Torquay RSL’s Facebook page, email torquayrsl@gmail.com or call 0409 297 441.

The Guide PICK OF THE WEEK GRUEN ABC TV, Wednesday, 8.30pm

ANNIKA ABC TV, Friday, 8.30pm

This police procedural is not like the other fish in the police procedural sea. Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, pictured) teems with charisma as the titular character: a book loving, straight-talking woman who is a single mother to a bad-tempered teenager. She has moved to Scotland to head up the Marine Homicide Unit, which is busy trying to solve maritime crimes in a by-the-numbers way – until Annika arrives. The first clue this detective isn’t like others is she references Moby Dick; she also breaks the fourth wall by wryly addressing the camera. If you can handle being directly spoken to, it’s a crime drama with a difference

Laced with a big whack of cynicism, a generous slice of wit, and a swathe of experts, it’s no wonder Gruen – the only show in Australia that dissects ads and marketing – is back for its 13th season. Whether you are an ad junkie, work in marketing, have a soft spot for host Wil Anderson, or simply enjoy watching experts discuss and reveal the secrets behind their craft, it’s a reliably entertaining and educational 30 minutes. Joining Anderson for the new season are panellists Russel Howcroft, Todd Sampson and Dee Madigan.

DAMBUSTERS WITH DAN SNOW SBS, Saturday, 8.35pm

CELEBRITY MASTERCHEF AUSTRALIA 10, Monday, 7.30pm

Historian Dan Snow (pictured) is like an enthusiastic, overachieving student who will not give up in this three-part special, premiering tonight. If you appreciate someone who gives any task 100%, this history lesson and high stakes adventure is well worth a gander. It features historians, experts, RAF pilots, some impressive flying skills, and a whole lot of Snow turning excitedly to the camera to offer up his thoughts and feelings. We follow Snow as he traces the footsteps of squadron leader Guy Gibson, recounting one of the most famous and shrewd bombing raids in history: Operation Chastise.

Witnessing an amateur cook burst into joyous tears after mastering a seaweed-seasoned fondue with a soufflé-style hat is heartwarming, but watching a well-known face walk the MasterChef tightrope between devastation and euphoria is downright fun. Seeing the participants, such as fashion designer Collette Dinnigan and Olympian Ian Thorpe (pictured), endeavour to be brilliant at something other than their former fields is intriguing. Tonight, the theme is “beauty and the beast”. It doesn’t involve cooking up a monstrously hairy creature, but there is a fearsome, beastly ingredient.

Added value: Wil Anderson returns with another season of Gruen.

FEATURING ... EDUCATION

Advertising feature

Learning from Finland’s education system For two decades Finland has been a world leader in education. International test results tell us that after starting school two years later Finnish students are two years ahead of most other countries at 15 years of age. The high quality of the Finnish school system is based on a clear national ethos that people are the nation’s most important asset. They have the right to receive excellent education, which will help maximise their potential to be who and what they want to be. Education in Finland stresses learning through insight and encouragement in assessing performance. It is not based on continuous assessment, the grading of performance or competition between pupils. Instead, teaching focuses on finding learning methods that best serve each pupil and on supporting those who have challenges in learning. HEI Schools Early Education Centres in Waurn Ponds and Lara take the best that Finland has to offer and combine it with other best practices in our progressive, emerging curriculum. Play is considered a basic right of the child in Finland which every kindergarten must protect. “Play motivates children and brings joy while allowing them to learn new skills and create meanings about themselves and the surrounding world. Children’s social relationships are supported and everyone’s opportunities to take part in play and shared activities are ensured.” (Finnish National Agency for Education) A child’s capacity to pick up language, culture, social norms, emotional capacity and self-regulation, creative thinking, self-preservation, and a healthy sense of self takes place in the first five years of their life. These vital early years are also when the stress regulating systems for children are laid down and formed. So many of today’s children struggle due to a chaotic, busy modern society that forgets that young children need time, endless hours of caring connection with significant adults — and even more endless hours being an explorer and an adventurer working out how the world works — to build a brain that allows them to grow into being an independent, capable, resilient caring human being in adulthood. To relieve the pressure, HEI Schools Early Education Centres in Waurn Ponds and Lara adopt a research-based model developed with the University of Helsinki and a child-focused

approach with play-based learning. With a vision of building essential life skills through real-life experiences based on the Finnish national early education curriculum, on-going teacher training and development will be offered to passionate and dedicated teachers and educators in their services.

Fighting feelings of stress during exams As VCE students would be well aware, exams are a time of stress, uncertainty and hard work. It is important to balance this stress with relief, uncertainty with predictability and hard work with relaxation. Studies show that small, regular breaks between study sessions can improve mood and productivity. As you approach your exam period, remember that it is not maintainable to be constantly anxious. You should have time to destress and think about something other than exams and study for a while. Here are some ways to combat feelings of stress during exam time:

It’s important for VCE students to properly manage their stress during exams. (iStock) 16 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 15 October, 2021

Positive self-talk: Using negative language with yourself is neither beneficial nor deserved. Make an effort to recognise how much work you’re putting in and allow yourself to see how well you’re doing. You have worked hard to get this far, and a few weeks of study and exams won’t undo all of it. Try to think of five things that you’re proud of yourself for doing either in or outside of your school life and reiterate that you’re capable of what you want to achieve. Visualise yourself

doing well in your exams and receiving positive news when results are released. Use some tangible grounding tools: Have a cup of tea, play with your pet or scribble in an adult colouring book. It’s okay to forget about exams for a while. In fact, it’s beneficial to spend some time after you study to allow the information to consolidate in your brain, so pick up a book or make yourself a snack and keep your mind occupied for a moment. Move your body: Get the blood flowing! Whether you put on your favourite dance playlist and boogie around your room for a while, do some yoga or go for a stroll with a friend, getting active will refresh your body and mind. It will also assist in creating and releasing endorphins to improve your mood and relieve feelings of stress. It’s likely that you’ve heard it plenty of times, but VCE exams are not the be-all and end-all of life. Despite the ATAR you receive, there are always a variety of ways for you to get into your desired career. Life will go on after high school and is there to be lived, so make sure you make the most of it. Best of luck to all VCE students!

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law.

MOTOR

Sedan has added sting in its tail By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring The Stinger GT has a spring in its step and added sting in the tail, thanks to a factory-developed exhaust system and LED combination tail lamp layout, plus upgraded safety tech. The Kia MY21 sports sedan flag bearer heads a rejigged range, with a choice of a four cylinder or V6 engine, driving the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The twin-turbo V6 powered Kia has forging a strong link with police services around Australia as an operational intercept and road command vehicle. Buyers can get to experience the Stinger’s gran turismo personality with the entry-level 200 S and its turbo-charged 2.0-litre four-cylinder motor for a drive-away price of $53,090, while the much heralded 3.3 litre twin-turbo V6 GT, at $67,690 drive away, garners little touches that add greatly to the appeal. Then there’s the Kia seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty.

Styling Kia says designers toned down any brutal characteristics, combining elegance with an athletic look. Not that everything is soft and gentle. There is still the Kia signature ‘tiger-nose’ grille, bold LED headlamps and two twin oval exhaust pipes with larger tips than previously, while the clever dynamic bending headlights are retained. A flat underbody and rear diffuser enhance aerodynamics. A new alloy wheel design has thinner spokes to further highlight the high performance Brembo brakes. Indeed, the Neon Orange Stinger GT test vehicle was a sight to behold. Upgrades are led by a dash-mounted 1.25-inch touchscreen, with in-built satellite navigation

Driving

Summary

With 510 Nm torque topping out at a low 1300 rpm and sticking around until 4500 revs the Stinger GT is not shy on showing its versatility – on the one hand a grand tourer, on the other

The Stinger GT gives full vent to the sports sedan fan’s every wish … at a somewhat steep price. The cheaper alternative is to become a highway patrol police officer!

The upgraded Stinger GT has taken on a greater ‘heroic’ mantle for the Kia sports sedan range.

across a wide rev range. But ,the addition of a factory-developed bi-modal exhaust stumps up an extra 2 kW of power, boosting output to 274 kW. The turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder motor is carried over with its 182 kW of power and 353 Nm of torque. Both are mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

and smartphone connectivity, allowing monitoring and control of a range of vehicle systems at the same time. Cabin ambience can be subtly controlled by a choice of 24 colours in a mood lamp. The steering wheel now features a metallic finish, while dashboard and doors are trimmed with a new stitch pattern. The seats of the GT were dressed in black Nappa leather.

Safety

Infotainment Technology upgrades are led by Bluetooth multi-connection, which allows multiple smart phones to be paired simultaneously for greater convenience. A harman/kardon 15-speaker Premium sound system also does the honours.

Engines / transmissions Interior

Improved autonomous emergency braking now has cyclist detection and junction assist. Road edge detection has been added to lane keeping assist. Rear cross-traffic collision avoidance brakes to avoid traffic from either side when reversing.

an out-and-out sports sedan. Then, there’s the 274 kW of power, peaking at 6000 rpm, with a nod to the racetrack with launch control. Left foot on the brake and gearshift in drive; flatten the accelerator pedal and release the foot brake, and whoosh. The drivetrain goes ga-ga with an accompanying turbo-boosted engine/ exhaust noise. There’s a firm shove on the back as the car takes off and I couldn’t argue with the claimed 0-to-100 kilometre time of less than 5 seconds. With official combined urban/highway fuel consumption of 10.2 litres per 100km, the test car came up with 13-plus around town and 6.2 on a motorway run. There are five different dial-up driving modes – Sport, Comfort, Eco, Smart and Custom – the last had the car coming to terms with the highly variable road conditions found in Australia, while Sport produced a rough ride more suitable for the smoother racetrack surfaces. Eco held little attraction. Worth a mention is the blind spot monitor, which projects a camera image from the mirrors in the driver’s display as soon as the turn indicator is activated. A steeply-sloped rear window presents a limited view for the driver and misses out on a rear wiper, which just about wipes out a clear view behind in wet weather. The smart key offers the chance to remotely start the engine and have the climate reach the optimum settings before getting into the cabin. Also smart is the power tailgate that can be set to four pre-determined opening heights from an in-car menu.

Kia Stinger GT’s engine basically remains unchanged, the Lamda 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 still winding up to 510 Nm of torque

Service always front and centre at BJT Automotive A leading independent workshop in Geelong, BJT Automotive has established a solid reputation as a reliable and thorough workshop with exceptional customer service. Owner Brett Turley says the high standards they pride themselves on mean they are an excellent alternative to dealership servicing. “We are renowned for our fussiness and attention to detail, and that’s exactly how we like it,” he says. “To ensure our mechanical services are cutting edge and up to date we are constantly refreshing and improving our mechanics’ skills and knowledge.” Personalised service is front and centre at BJT Automotive as well. Brett and his team offer a loan car and courtesy car service and like to get an understanding of each customer and car. “Our mechanics take note and listen. They’re thorough and keep extensive records of each service. This means we’re aware of wear, tear and potential issues. “And regular log book servicing results in a better sale price when it comes time to sell.” Brett says that prices are very competitive, and customers can trust that any parts used will always maintain their new car warranties. He also has some advice for anyone who’s about to buy or sell a car. “We encourage them to talk to us first. We are VicRoads roadworthy testers, able to issue roadworthy certificates, and offer comprehensive pre-purchase car inspections.” As well as tyre fitting, the workshop carries out a range of mechanical services, with Holden, Toyota, Ford, Mazda, Subaru, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda, Hyundai, Kia and Suzuki covered. BJT Automotive, 8 Maxwell Avenue, Belmont. Open 8am-5.30pm Monday-Friday. Inquiries: 5244 3337 or www.bjtautomotive.com.au

SPORT

Good numbers in the Springs LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Clifton Springs continues to field a good number of teams in Tennis Geelong competition, with six full and two half-teams in juniors, and four-and-a-half senior teams. This season the Ballaghs are doing the family thing, with Max and twins Jesse and Shannon teaming up in the morning, before joining dad Graham in the afternoon for men’s competition. It was daughter Shannon’s idea for the senior team, which if she had had her way would have been a mixed team with mum Susan and older sister Kierra, however, work commitments didn’t allow for it this season. The Springs continue to have a good relationship with neighbours Drysdale, which can be seen by the three combined teams the clubs have submitted. Two of these teams are in juniors, and the third is the Vlahovic and Nicholls boys from one of these teams joining forces with their mums Kylie and Nicole to play mixed in seniors. Drysdale, as well as the combination teams, is fielding eight junior and two senior teams this summer. Section 3 Girls and Section 5 Boys took out last summer’s premierships, and both teams are back and moving up to test their skills against the higher rated teams. Surfcoast is a club which provided combination club teams, until Torquay, Bellbrae and Jan Juc clubs merged four years ago.

They continue to provide a good number of teams with eight entered in juniors and seven in seniors. The premiers from Bellbrae in Section 8 Mixed last summer will be looking forward to seeing what this season brings with a potential move up, and see how their form holds up at the higher level. Down the road in Anglesea, two mixed teams will be fielded and Aireys Inlet has one mixed team. The clubs had teams finish fourth and third, respectively, in Section 6 mixed last summer and would no doubt be happy for the short commute if they are pitted in the same section again this season. Bannockburn has come back to the competition this summer with three junior teams and two senior teams. All three junior teams are new to competition and are playing their first season, while the men’s team will be looking to continue the form they showed in the recently interrupted winter season. Banno has also entered a Section 1 mixed team featuring a number of players from the 2018-19 summer premiership team, including Carolyn McGann and Rachel Le Maitre. Bridget Le Maitre, sister of Rachael will also be joining the team, and all three ladies will be a welcome addition back to the competition after missing the 2020-21season.

Clark goes west to Freo By Justin Flynn Geelong completed the quietest AFL trade period in a decade by adding Hawks ruckman Jonathon Ceglar on the final day. It was the quietest AFL trade period since 2009. The Cats parted with pick 50 in this year’s draft for Ceglar, 30, who played 101 games in the brown and gold. Ceglar played 101 games with the Hawks, including 12 this past season. Originally selected by Collingwood as a rookie, Ceglar moved to Hawthorn where he enjoyed a fruitful eight-year stint. Speedster Jordan Clark completed a move from GMHBA Stadium to Fremantle. The Cats gained pick 22 and Carlton’s third round pick in 2022 in exchange for Clark and the Cats fourth round selection in 2022. Geelong national list and recruiting manager Stephen Wells said the Cats have a good draft hand for next month’s national draft. Geelong currently holds picks 22, 30, 32, 34 and 50 ahead and has also secured a 2022 third round pick from Carlton and

a fourth-round selection from Hawthorn. “Jonathon (Ceglar) adds depth to our ruck stocks, and we are pleased to add him to our team,” Wells said. “We have also got a strong hand at this year’s draft and added selections for next year as well. “Jordan was keen to head home to Western Australia and we have been able to work through that with the Dockers and agree on a fair trade.” In other trades, ruckman Darcy Fort is now a Brisbane Lion.

Richard Lawysz was awarded the Athletics Victoria Love the Game Volunteer of the Year.

Fort managed eight games in the hoops and was traded along with pick 41 with the Cats getting pick 50 and a future third-round pick. “The Lions came in for Darcy and with the trade for Jonathon we were able to make the deal with Brisbane,” Wells said. Geelong also traded tall forward Nathan Kreuger and pick 55 to Collingwood for this year’s pick 41. “We wish Darcy and Jordan all the best in their careers,” Wells said. The Cats are also likely to snare wayward small forward Tyson Stengle as a delisted free agent. The former Richmond and Adelaide goalsneak will be reunited with mentor Eddie Betts, who last week joined Geelong in a development role. Stengle was traded from Richmond to Adelaide and was then sacked from the Crows following a series of indiscretions, but was a standout player for SANFL premiers Woodville-West Torrens were he booted three goals in the grand final against Glenelg. Stengle played two games for Richmond and 14 for the Crows.

Athletics stalwart Richard honoured Richard Lawysz has been a staple around the Geelong athletics scene for most of his adult life. Whether as a competitor as a sprinter and a decathlete or as a coach or volunteer and official, the born and bred Geelong man has contributed countless hours to helping others enjoy athletics. Lawysz was recently awarded the Athletics Victoria Love the Game Volunteer of the Year. “It was a pleasant surprise on the night,” he said. “I thought ‘wow’ in the context of the calibre of the other nominees and what they have done in their respective fields, to be named it was a very pleasant surprise.” A national technical official for 40 years, Lawysz has served on committees from grassroots to national level. He is the interim president of Geelong Athletics Regional Centre where he also works as an official and coach while at Athletics Victoria, he is a member of the Victorian Officials Committee and represents Geelong on the Athletics Victoria Shield League

subcommittee. During the pandemic, Lawysz ensured the officials committee stayed connected, facilitated virtual seminars and was a co-presenter of a world-first officials education initiative set up online. Lawysz began volunteering because he believes every organisation needs people to help out. “There was a need for someone to step up and do something so I put my hand up and kept going,” he said. “Trying to get people involved on the admin side and official side of it is always challenging. “The more people involved, the more there is to spread the workload.” Lawysz said the biggest challenge during the pandemic has been keeping people involved in athletics. “The uncertainty of lockdowns and the limitation on how far you can travel within the five-kilometre limit has been a challenge,” he said. “In Victoria we have been quite fortunate that regional centres like Ballarat, Bendigo

and Geelong have been open compared to Melbourne. We’ve been quite fortunate to have been open for training.” Lawysz said the commencement of the athletics season was still unknown. “We would have started already in the first week of October,” he said. “When we start and how we do it, still has to be worked out. “There have been a number of events statewide that have been cancelled due to COVID. It has an impact on our calendar for the summer.” In the meantime, Lawysz stepped away from the Geelong Athletics Regional Centre presidency in June, but vows to continue helping out. “I’ll keep on helping out as best I can in any capacity from an official and administrative point of view,” he said. “I’ll stay heavily involved in educating officials and will continue officiating as well.”

Fishing going from strength to strength ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The fishing around the region is continuing to get better and better. The inner harbour is still producing plenty of quality captures with snapper holding in good numbers around St Helens and through to north shore. Fishing on an evening with baits like pilchards and squid has been super effective and ideally fishing a tide change as that tends to be the time they are biting. Fish to 6kg are being caught with plenty of smaller pinkies kicking around too. Land based anglers have been doing quite well with the rough weather we have been experiencing with St Helens being the best location. The outer harbour of Corio bay has also been firing up with snapper starting to come onto the chew hard, Clifton Springs is proving to be the go to location with some quality fish starting to end up on the deck of many angler’s boats. Alcoa pier is still holding a large numbers of salmon and pinkie snapper patrolling the edge of the pier snatching up just about any soft plastic you put in their face, ideally four inch worm or minnow profile plastics. Calamari are still hanging around Clifton springs and through to Hermsley in 3m of water, jigs with a rattle chamber inside them have definitely been a key to many anglers success. Queenscliff is really starting to fire up at the moment as this time of year the big calamari hang out in the bight to breed and they are in there thousands and lots of big ones. Fishing the deeper water on slack tide with baited jigs or large squid jigs is a great way to target the big ones, once you have found where they’re hiding you can keep going back over the mark and just keep plucking them from the bottom. Peri Stavropoulos and Bryce Nurnaitis from Trellys Geelong had a look out there during the week landing plenty of calamari hanging in the area and some big ones amongst them too. The high country trout fishing has been red hot as of late with just about every river and stream fishing extremely well. Brown and rainbow trout have been in great numbers and after all this rain we have copped it has really stirred up the fishing. The Goulburn is still fishing well for the stonker rainbow trout still chewing well in the system. Adam Van Der Lugt from Trellys Geelong had a successful session over the weekend landing some rainbows up to 4kg.
