$20m clubhouse opens By Justin Flynn Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews officially opened the new $20 million Curlewis Clubhouse and Accommodation facility on Wednesday. The premier joined Bellarine MP Lisa Neville for a tour of the complex and a meeting with Curlewis staff and local business and community leaders before speaking to invited guests and participating in a ribbon cutting ceremony. “It was incredibly exciting for everyone here at Curlewis to welcome the premier to
the region for the official launch of the new facility,” Curlewis co-owner and director Lyndsay Sharp said. “The premier’s passion and knowledge of golf was very much at the forefront of his dialogue, which engaged the room.” Ms Sharp said the Portarlington Road facility was the most “exciting and terrifying” project she and husband, co-owner and director David, had ever undertaken. “It was lovely to get a chance to speak with him [Mr Andrews] and show him around what is the biggest – and riskiest –project David and I have ever undertaken.
“We’re so very proud of it and extremely grateful the premier could find the time to visit our special part of the world.” Ms Sharp said there was a “desperate need for accommodation across Geelong and the Bellarine”. “It ended up being a logical adjunct to our existing operations here at Curlewis and I hope that it will help attract tourists, conferences, functions and golf groups,” she said. “With sleepovers comes increased awareness, exploration and enjoyment of all our magical little region has to offer – and
the subsequent economic injection into small businesses of the region is significant. “There’s so much to see, do, explore and experience. We hope what we’ve built will contribute, in a small way, to reinvigorating local economic recovery and the capability to focus on a positive future.” Mr Andrews used a pair of golden scissors to open the facility. “The ceremonial scissors were hilarious – they were enormous and had the appropriate bling factor, but when it came to cutting the ribbon they were about as useful as using a cotton bud to do the job,” Ms Sharp said.

Libs match Labor’s oval funding Liberal candidate for Corangamite Stephenie Asher has matched her Labor counterpart’s election promise for funding for Ocean Grove’s Memorial Reserve. Libby Coker announced $750,000 towards upgraded lighting and female-friendly changerooms earlier this month. Ms Asher, who was joined by Liberal senator Sarah Henderson, matched the funding in Ocean Grove on April 19. Memorial Reserve is used as an ‘overflow’ oval by junior football teams from both
the Ocean Grove Cobras and Ocean Grove Grubbers, as well as Ocean Grove Cricket Club in summer. It is also home to the Bellarine Table Tennis Club, Ocean Grove Badminton Club, and other community recreation groups which use the reserve including for pickleball, soft tennis and fitness classes. “I’ve been a strong advocate for sport in the area and with participation rates increasing, we need to make sure that our community has access to fit-for-purpose facilities across Ocean Grove,” Ms Asher said.
“I look forward to continuing to work hard for Ocean Grove families to ensure the very best of community facilities are delivered.” Ms Henderson said the funding was in addition to the federal government’s $500,000 commitment in the 2019 election, which is being used to fund a minor lighting upgrade at Memorial Reserve as well as major upgrades at Shell Rd Reserve – new oval netting, netball court seating (in progress) and upgraded lights for the main oval and netball courts which have recently been completed and “switched on”.
“With so many community and sporting groups using Memorial Reserve, this project will provide vital investment for the Ocean Grove community,” Ms Henderson said. “A key focus of the Morrison government is to build stronger communities in the regions. Investing in sporting and community infrastructure supports healthy, active and connected communities.” Ms Asher and Ms Coker will battle it out for the federal seat of Corangamite at the federal election on May 21.
Sea of pink at Ocean Grove Ocean Grove netballers will swap their traditional red and white uniform for pink on Saturday, May 7. The club’s annual Pink Day is completely sold out with proceeds going to Breast Cancer Network Australia. The Grubbers will take to the court against Drysdale in pink uniforms and the footballers will wear pink socks, but there will be plenty of action indoors as well. Shell Road Pavilion will host about 200 women for drinks, raffles, prizes and general fun. “There will be lots of Champagne from Oneday Estate and food from Driftwood Cafe,” director of netball Gill Hodgson said. “We’re hoping to have pink boundary lines as well. “It sold out in 48 hours and it’s usually good fun and a great opportunity to bring women together and support women.” Pink Day starts at 2pm on May 7. Justin Flynn
Jesse Sutton and Kelsey Ollis will wear pink on May 7 to celebrate Ocean Grove’s Pink Day.

There is much going on in the world that should give us reason to be grateful for living in Australia. Two years of challenges as a result of the global pandemic aside, we are fortunate to live in the ‘lucky country’. This coming Monday is Anzac Day, a day of reflection for all of us who call Australia home, and a day to honour and recognise those who have served and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Following two years of limited or no crowds, I am sure many members of the community will be up early for Anzac Day dawn services to pay their respects to friends and relatives who have given service. Council will be paying tribute to the Anzacsin numerous ways, including a projection display at City Hall from Friday, April 22 to Sunday, May 1, between 7pm and 11pm.

City Hall’s front facade will feature a moving display depicting the human impact of war, how Geelong locals have been affected, and the Aussie spirit. We will also be installing commemorative banners across Geelong and Bellarine, lowering flags and turning the catenary lights at Moorabool and Malop streets red on Anzac day. There are many ways for members of the local community to show their support for veterans in our region.
The RSL will be selling badges to raise funds for their members and the Geelong RSL Sub-Branch is also urging people to donate to the Anzac Appeal. Donations to the Anzac Appeal go a long way towards helping our brave service men and women who need it most. Children can get involved by baking Anzac biscuits, crafting a poppy, making a wreath or reading poetry. People are also welcome to send an email to express their support and thoughts to our troops. Locally, the dawn service will take place at the Ocean Grove Cenotaph in the Ocean Grove Park at 6am. At 9.45am the march commences in The Terrace to conclude in Ocean Grove Park, where there will be a commemorative and wreath laying ceremony. Whatever you choose to do to pay your respects and honour our past and present veterans on Anzac Day, stay safe, and remember how lucky we are to call Australia home.

Anzac Day leads me to reflect on the thousands of young veterans from Afghanistan, and other conflicts, who have submitted compensation claims that continue to pile up on desks in the Department of Veteran Affairs. Some time ago the then minister responsible, Darren Chester, promised to solve the problem by employing 400 new staff to deal with the backlog. The current minister, Andrew Gee, said pre budget that he would resign if this was not resolved but nothing seems to have happened and meanwhile the
applications keep increasing - now reported to number 50,000 The applicants are young men and women who in many cases having served in multiple tours of Afghanistan and as a consequence are under extreme stress. They need their claims settled immediately to prevent further deterioration of their health status. As a former young conscript one of the reasons I felt confident about going to Vietnam was because I believed that DVA benefits would cover me if I was injured, contracted malaria or was confronted by other health issues.
If the Department of Veteran Affairs continues to stonewall claims not only will this send a very negative message to veterans and their families, but it will deter other young Australians from deciding to join Australia’s defence forces in the future. John Bugge, Portarlington

Tin Shed rakes in hospital funds By Justin Flynn Barwon Heads Tin Shed’s popular Good Friday function raised more than $60,000 for the Royal Children’s Hospital Appeal. Officially called Barwon Grove Golf Club, but always referred to as the Tin Shed, the final amount of $61,465 will likely make it the number one pub or club in Victoria for its fundraising efforts. “We were third last year and that was with
$36,000,” president Conan Roos said. “I reckon we might be number one this year. “There were about 400 to 500 people there, which is something I never predicted.” Mr Roos said he was hoping for a final tally of around $40,000. “Everyone was just stunned really,” he said. “The donations were so good and Peter Molloy did a fantastic job as auctioneer. “I reckon he pushed the prices up by himself and people knew where their money was going
so they dug deep.” Final figures revealed nearly everyone in Barwon Heads who donated to the appeal did so via the Tin Shed. “It’s awesome for us,” Mr Roos said. “We’ve been known for that day for a while and the last 10 years have just gotten better and better.” The Tin Shed raised $61,645 for the Good Friday Appeal.

National honour for Bo Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club’s Bo Chudosnik was awarded a National Medal on Sunday, April 10. The National Medal was established by the Commonwealth of Australia in 1975 as one of the original elements of the distinctive Australian system of honours and awards. The medal recognises long and diligent service by members of recognised government and voluntary organisations that risk their lives or safety to protect or assist the community. Bo’s remarkable contribution in preserving the safety of our beach goers began in 1985 when he first gained his Bronze Medallion and since then he has had a key role in patrolling our beaches for 37 years, assisting with the training and assessment of club members, contributing to the development of young members and generally being a passionate contributor to members well-being and the club as a whole. Bo said Dave Renton, who the patrol tower is named after, was a huge influence on him. “He did 55 years of service,” he said. “He was a great mentor. There have been lots
of people in the life saving club that have done heaps and heaps of hours to keep our beaches safe. I’m very humbled.” Bo started surf life saving because he wasn’t a good swimmer and wanted to improve and eventually went on to become club champion. He shed a tear when he was presented with his medal, which came with a blue and yellow ribbon. “The ribbon is blue and yellow and my heritage is Ukrainian and I still have family there,” he said. “I got very emotional.” Bo’s message to young people thinking about getting involved is simple. “Absolutely just do it,” he said. “If you’re not a competitor and don’t want to do Nippers, there are lots of other things you can do. “If they aren’t into footy or netball in winter or cricket in summer it’s nice to be able to go down to the beach and identify a rip or have the confidence to help out in a rescue situation whether that’s first aid or just helping.” Bo Chudosnik received a National Medal for surf lifesaving.

Nest boxes to get new For when you’re young. coat of Haymes paint A community wildlife project will benefit from a donation from an Ocean Grove business. Haymes Paint Ocean Grove donated its premium 40 litre Solashield paint for the St Leonards Men’s Shed’s wildlife nest box project. The project involves Bellarine Landcare Group, St Leonards Men’s Shed, Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management (Bellarine Bayside) and local Bellarine Peninsula landowners. This project involves the construction of wildlife nesting boxes by the experienced carpenters from St Leonards Men’s Shed. These nesting boxes are installed by landowners, local councils, agencies and schools to assist local wildlife to nest and breed in the absence of natural nesting hollows in trees. Tree hollows have been significantly reduced on the Bellarine, preventing breeding for around 10 to 15 species of birds and mammals and there’s growing interest from the community to support our wildlife through revegetation and nest box installations. Funds from the nest boxes sales are returned to the St Leonards Men’s Shed, enabling more community projects and the maintenance of their machinery, tools and equipment. “Haymes Paint is the only Australian owned paint company which recognises great environmental initiatives such as this by the Bellarine Landcare Group and the St Leonards Men’s Shed,” Haymes Paint Ocean Grove manager Jacki Saraci said. “This is a fantastic donation and show of support by Haymes Paint for the program,” Bellarine Landcare nest box co-ordinator David Cass said. “Our wildlife nesting box designs have been evolving, being modified and researched over the last few years.

“One important issue for nest boxes is their ability to protect the breeding wildlife when temperatures are extreme. Light grey tones help to reflect the summer heat and all weather nontoxic paint will protect these nest boxes for many years to come.” Portarlington’s Point Richards Flora and Fauna Reserve will also benefit from the Donation. Numerous nest boxes installed within the Bellarine Bayside managed reserve are now requiring maintenance and repainting. A community wildlife nest box workshop and information session will be held on Saturday ,May 7 in Indented Head. The session is supported by Bellarine Bayside and the Victorian government through the Community Volunteer Action Grant program.

Upgrades move forward Pupils at Wallington primary and Leopold primary are a step closer to getting more inclusive facilities, with an architect appointed to design the school’s upgrade, made possible by funding through the Inclusive Schools Fund project. Bellarine MP Lisa Neville announced that Searle and Waldron has been appointed to design the school’s upgrades of almost $180,000 each.
The 2021-22 Victorian Budget includes $10 million for the Inclusive Schools Fund to help make schools more accessible and inclusive for young people with a disability and additional needs. Since its inception in 2015, the fund has supported 308 primary, secondary and specialist schools to build inclusive indoor and outdoor learning spaces as well as accessible playgrounds.
“This new space will make a real difference to students at both Leopold Primary and Wallington Primary, who will both get the benefits of new inclusive spaces to cater for a wider range of options for teaching and learning,” Ms Neville said. “As we build the education state, we’re continuing to invest in schools to ensure students of all abilities can access a great education – no matter their circumstances.”
Pooch parade for climate action Humans and pooches are being encouraged to dress in bright colours and join in on a walk for climate change action in Ocean Grove.

Organisers say the walk for climate action will be a fun, positive, family and fur friendly event to demonstrate their support, strength and optimism for demanding strong action on climate leading into election. “We’ve been told by local politicians that people care more about where they walk their dog than they care about the climate and I don’t think that’s true,” Jacqui Dunne said. “We’re just trying to encourage our politicians to act on climate and tell them that climate is a real force and a real reason that people are going to vote on in this election. “Anyone can come, we’d love as many people as possible.

Forty years saving lives It was 1982 when Stephen Bird started his career as a paramedic with Ambulance Victoria. Fast forward to this April 12 and the well-respected Ocean Grove ambo will have clocked up 40 years since that first day on the job. A testament to his character and determination, Stephen says he has the same enthusiasm and passion for helping people in their time of need as he did on his first day. The country boy from Neuarpurr credited the resilience that comes from growing up on a farm to enabling him to make the switch from nursing to being a rural paramedic in Horsham and then onto bustling Melbourne. “Back then it was unheard of for paramedics in the country to come to the city,” he said. “I was a bit of a lost young bloke. I just wanted to go where the work was. “I wanted to be somewhere where I could learn new skills and I just loved the excitement of being a young paramedic in Melbourne.” Over the past four decades, Stephen has witnessed the organisation grow into the statewide service we know it as today; first on the road as a paramedic and then as the first paramedic to join the organisation’s communications centre in 1988. To this day, he still provides clinical advice by phone through Ambulance Victoria’s Secondary Triage service as a Referral Service Triage Practitioner (Paramedic). “When the new communications centre opened it was like the changing of the guard,” Stephen said. “I was one of the first paramedics to complete the new communications course when we went to the Doncaster communications centre. “It was staffed by experienced paramedics who were also communications officers. “I’m a big fan of anyone in ambulance wanting to do better. I took every opportunity that came my way.”
Ocean Grove paramedic Stephen Bird has clocked up 40 years of service with Ambulance Victoria. (Supplied)
When asked to describe Ambulance Victoria during his time in the service, Stephen said he found the organisation had evolved to be “diverse, professional and empowering”. “It’s hard to name a highlight because there’s been so many. I was 27 when I joined,” he said. “But the highlight is when you deliver your first baby. Some paramedics may not deliver any, but I’ve been fortunate to deliver 8 babies all up. That never gets old.” “There’s also saving someone, caring for someone who is palliative … It’s not always shootings and accidents.”
Although Stephen has been involved in his fair share of those over the journey, too. From both the Queen Street Hoddle Street massacres, to the Russell Street bombing and Mercy Hospital shooting, Stephen has found himself responding to some of the biggest events Victoria has experienced. “I might have left the road a long time ago, but I feel very proud to be a paramedic. There’s not really another job like it,” he said. “I was so excited when I started in ambulance. I still believe we have the best ambulance service in the world.”

Illustrating a connection The Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House (QNH) Art Gallery, in collaboration with the Queenscliffe Literary Festival, is mounting an exhibition called Shifting Sands (The Illustrators Page). The event incorporates artists’, illustrators’ and writers’ interpretations and responses to this year’s Queenscliffe Literary Festival theme Shifting Sands. The exhibition will be held at QNH from May 7-29. The exhibition will comprise a unique display of illustrations for children’s picture books, short stories, poems and other fiction. The illustrative art has been created by such diverse artists as Mark Wilson, John Hughson, Dougal Ramsay, Tracy Watt and Linda Gallus. The works they have developed the art for have been written by Tim O’Brien, Tammy Muir, Malcolm Clarke, John Hughson and, in some cases, the works were both written and illustrated by the featured artists. Additionally, the Rip Writers Group has been invited to submit material. Well known and highly respected local illustrator and children’s book author, Robert Ingpen AM will open the exhibition on May 7 at QNH at 1pm. “This new exhibition is an initiative which strengthens the connection between two vibrant and important local community groups - the Queenscliffe Literary Festival Committee and the Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House Committee of Management (through the House’s Art Gallery Committee),” QNH house committee chair Chris Box said. “The exhibition reflects this connection since its theme is illustrating the written word.” Works will be on display (and available for sale if the artist so chooses) from at Queenscliffe Neighbourhood House Art Gallery, 3 Tobin Drive, Queenscliff.
Call to butt out The Ocean Grove Coastcare (OGCC) team is working with Barwon Coast to deliver the new ‘Bin the Butt’ project. In 2020 OGCC engaged with Barwon Coast and the City of Greater Geelong prior to successfully applying for a DELWP/Coastcare grant to trial the use of cigarette butt bins in key coastal locations. Data collected by OGCC and Barwon Coast determined the sites for installation of purpose built cigarette butt bin receptacles at: • Guthridge Street car park Ocean Grove – small craft boat ramp and main boat ramp; • Terraced grass area pathway 15W Ocean Grove main beach; • Rotunda – 14W Ocean Grove; and • Barwon Bluff walking track 27W Barwon Heads. “Butt litter data collection from these sites started weeks prior to the bin installation, with volunteers collecting data monthly,” OGCC president Margot Busch said. “The cigarette butt bins were installed without signage to determine if visibility of them was a factor in their use. We are now applying colourful signs to the bins, and monitoring will continue until November to assess their effectiveness in behavioural change.” In addition to the public cigarette bins, OGCC will also be funding the purchasing of small personal butt bins that will be distributed at local events. To find out more about the impacts your cigarette butt is having on the terrestrial and aquatic environments, go to cleanup.org.au/cigarette-butts

MY PLACE Jennifer Carr writes a popular Nature Watch column for the Voice each fortnight. She tells Justin Flynn what she loves about her home town of Ocean Grove. to have seen the Barrier Reef before global warming caused bleaching of the coral. There is not an emphasis on preserving important habitats, as can be seen by the housing being built around Connewarre, and the duck shooting that occurs there in what is an internationally recognised Ramsar Wetland. I also don’t like the tendency for people to just trash the local area with rubbish, mainly from fast food outlets.
What’s your connection to Ocean Grove? My family moved to Ocean Grove from Melbourne in 2002, so it’s my 20th anniversary this year of living on the Bellarine Peninsula. We moved here to escape the ‘rat race’ of Melbourne. My friend Katrina Watson, who is a GP in Leopold, moved to this area a few years before we did, and talked us into coming to have a look at Ocean Grove, and next thing I knew we had bought a house and were moving. It did take a few years to settle into the area and feel a sense of belonging, but I instantly loved the beach and more importantly enjoyed exploring the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve. Most places I visited on the Bellarine resulted in the spotting of a raptor or two, which was very appealing.
Where is your favourite local place to spend time? I love the healthy food at Kyosk, and the coffee at the Olive Pit. I love the bird books that Stacey sells at Bookgrove. I love walking through the nature reserve when I’m the only person there. I love that beautiful rare creatures, such as swift parrots, can be seen in the flowering gums around the Bellarine.
What do you like about where you live? I’ll have to list the best things – the beach, the view when crossing the Barwon Heads Bridge, the lovely people I have met, the birds I have seen, the great coffee and food in the main street at the Olive Pit and Kyosk, Bookgrove, the view from Point Lonsdale to Portsea, writing for the Ocean Grove Voice, working in Geelong with some wonderful people, and living near Kardinia Park. I also think we are fortunate in Ocean Grove that we have great services in the local area, including doctors, my favourite dentist David Lakis, Ocean Eyes Optometrists and the Bellarine Veterinary Practice. What, if anything, would you change about where you live? I haven’t coped well with the overdevelopment of the area and the trees and space that have just disappeared, and as a result, many birds

Tell us something people would be surprised to know about you. I’ve been a one-eyed Geelong Supporter since I inherited this genetic condition from my dear mum Joan, and go to games at Kardinia Park with the family when work allows. I’m also an MCC member so have been to some great grand finals, including the Bulldogs victory in 2016 and the 2019 Richmond victory which included the astonishing debut of Marlion Pickett. The best grand final I have been to was the Geelong victory over Port Adelaide in 2007, as it was such a comprehensive team effort after years of disappointment. I was very upset when Gary Ablett Junior left Geelong to play with the Gold Coast Suns, and he will always be my favourite Geelong player.

Twist of fate leads Chris to RAAF Chris Laux was doing a sheet-metal apprenticeship when a twist of fate led him to a career in the Royal Australian Air Force and then a premature retirement. He speaks with Justin Flynn ahead of Anzac Day.

clostridium difficile, a debilitating bacterial infection that releases toxins that irritate and attack the lining of the intestines. “It presented a lot like gastro, but after about four weeks my body started to shut down and I ended up in intensive care and that was the end of my military career,” he said. “Over the last 10 years, I have spent about two of them in hospital. It lays dormant and then attacks. If I start to get sick with it I end up
in hospital for three or four months again and then it’s months of rehab.” One quirk of being in the military was that about 10 of Chris’ fellow Bellarine Secondary College students either in the same year, the year below or the year higher, ended up serving as well. “People used to think we were in the defence force because of something we were taught at school, but it was just a coincidence,” he said.
Barwon Coast Update
COLLENDINA • OCEAN GROVE BARWON RIVER ESTUARY • 13TH BEACH
The works have significantly improved accessibility for beach users and were timed perfectly, to be completed before Easter. Our Natural Resources Management team are also completing environmental works surrounding the lookout platform at Bancoora and we look forward to further improving this part of the coast in the coming months.
NEW BLUFF LOOKOUT OPEN Barwon Coast improving beach access at Bancoora Beach in Breamlea ready for Easter visitors.
BREAMLEA COASTAL MANAGEMENT Barwon Coast is delighted to announce that on 1 April 2022 the management of the Breamlea coastal reserves transferred from the City of Greater Geelong to Barwon Coast. This includes management of the Breamlea Caravan Park.
A new lookout at the Bluff was opened last week following the replacement of the old viewing platform. The new lookout, funded by Barwon Coast, now provides a graded access track, seating, directional plaque and upgrades to the coastal trail. Head up to the new viewing area to enjoy sensational views of 13th Beach and the Barwon River. Further works will include re-vegetation over the next few weeks.
As coastal land managers for the Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads and 13th Beach areas we have a vision that the natural environment of our coastline will flourish whilst meeting the needs of our engaged communities. We now extend this vision to the Breamlea coastal area.
SEASONAL DOG CONTROL ORDERS Seasonal changes to the Barwon Coast Dog Control Orders come into effect at the end of this month. From 1 May to 30 November dogs are permitted off-leash under effective control in the following areas: Areas B: 34 to 36 Areas C: 27W to 24W & 21W – 15W For detailed information on the Dog Control Orders: www.barwoncoast.com.au/dogs-beaches
ENSURING COMMUNITY SAFETY We are working closely with Victoria Police, The City of Greater Geelong and local volunteers including the Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club to keep the community and visitors safe this holiday period. Unfortunately, recent evening gatherings have seen deliberate damage to local facilities and broken glass being left on our foreshores. The vandalism of local infrastructure causes many hours of work and comes at a significant cost to Barwon Coast and the community. To help ensure everyone stays safe Victoria Police will increase their visual footprint along the coast during the holiday period. Please call 000 if you see something that needs immediate attention or call 131 444 to report damage after the fact.
That vision is being filled by our Coastal Maintenance Team who have improved the access track at Bancoora Beach by removing excess sand that built up over the past few months from strong easterly winds. New viewing platform at the Bluff with easy access track, seating and directional plaque.

Chris’ grandfather was also a veteran and he said getting to march with him on Anzac Day was probably the proudest he has been. The honour wall behind the Cenotaph at Ocean Grove Park has both Chris’ and his grandfather’s name on it and he encourages all local veterans to contact Ocean Grove Barwon Heads RSL Sub-branch to get their own names engraved. “I marched with my grandfather several times in Barwon Heads – he was my idol,” he said. “It was always paying respect to the older Diggers. It never really clicked that you were a veteran as well. “As I’ve gotten older with the passing of pretty much all the [World War II] vets, time doesn’t really stop for anybody. It’s now for the younger veterans to step up and save the RSL. “It shouldn’t be up to the 75 and 80 year olds any longer. It’s now becoming a time for the younger veterans to step up and say ‘this is our organisation’.” Chris’ Anzac Day ritual each year is usually the same. “I generally go to Fort Queenscliff and do the dawn service there and then do the march here in Ocean Grove,” he says. “Then hang around and chat with some of the old boys and run into old faces.” Chris recently raised about $1500 doing the March On Challenge for Soldier On. The goal was to walk 96 kilometres in March for a charity organisation that helps young veterans, but Chris managed 336km. “Veteran suicide is a massive problem,” he says. “We’ve lost so many young veterans coming out of service and feeling lost.”

t was by pure chance that Chris Laux began a career with the Royal Australian Air Force more than 20 years ago. After leaving Bellarine Secondary College, he took up a sheet-metal apprenticeship in Melbourne in 1997. Fast forward to 2000 and Chris found himself making the hand rails for the completion of Colonial Stadium (now Marvel Stadium). “At the time the AFL wanted the ground ready in time for the 2000 season and the unions wanted the 36-hour week so we were on strike for six months and we had a union meeting in the old Savoy Hotel on the corner of Spencer and Bourke streets,” Chris says. “Defence Force Plaza was right next to that. So at one of the meetings we got told we were still on strike and I was a 19-year-old kid and had yet learnt to save for a rainy day, so a strike that long was very painful, and I walked in next door to Defence Force Plaza and said ‘these are my qualifications, what can I do?’. “They said you can be a tank armourer in the army, a boilermaker in the navy or an aircraft sheet-metal worker in the RAAF. I was a sheet-metal worker already so it seemed like a good, sound option.” Over the next 10 years, Chris was deployed to the Middle East and Asia and was involved in the 2004 tsunami and repatriating the wounded and dead from the 2002 Bali bombings. “That was horrible,” Chris says. “I distinctly remember saying the world was a peaceful place and a good time to get a career and I got my call up September 11, 2001 and the world was no longer a peaceful place.” However, Chris’ military career came to an abrupt end in Dubai in 2010 when he contracted

Powerful owl puts on a display I’ve been a bit ‘snowed under’ the past few weeks and have not had many chances to go birdwatching around the Bellarine. The most exciting observations I have made have been in ‘Sue’s Park’ in my local street, where I heard and saw a female golden whistler, and a pair of spiny-cheeked honeyeaters. Fortunately, some wonderful Voice readers have come to my rescue by sending me their observations and photos. I received an email from Carole, who went on a birdwatching trip to the Otways with the local Bellarine Birdlife Group. She sent me several photos of a juvenile powerful owl that had a possum in its talons. Carole explained that the owl was staring in disbelief at the oohing and ahhing admirers staring at it from below. When the group returned to the area three hours later the bird was still in the same position and had not had any of its possum lunch. Powerful owls are the largest of Australia’s owls. Its main item of prey is possums, and they also feast on bats such as flying foxes. I would have loved to have been on that Bellarine Birdlife outing. I received an email from Alan. He saw a surprising number of eastern rosellas around Blue Waters Lake, but he found it hard to get a good photo, as the birds were camera shy, and the noisy miners were scaring them off. He did photograph a grey butcherbird that was not so intimidated by the noisy miners.
Alan’s collared sparrowhawk at Ocean Grove Nature Reserve, and pink robin in the Otways; Carole’s picture of a powerful owl with a possum for lunch.
Alan walked around the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve a few times and came across a collared sparrowhawk that was harassing two yellow-tailed black cockatoos, and a spotted pardalote and a juvenile golden whistler. Alan also visited the Otways and stayed for four days at Gellibrand and the magnificent Redwood Forest. He was lucky enough to capture a photo of a male pink robin catching bugs around the creek. He also saw gang-gang cockatoos around the caravan park, where the park owners told me that someone had recently listed 52 species of birds around the caravan park in a one-week stay. I received an email from ex-Ocean Grove resident Denis, who has moved to the Bendigo
area. He sent a series of wonderful images of a rainbow bee-eater, taken at Lyell Forest, an area which I must explore at some stage. George Appleby saw a rainbow bee-eater near the Ocean Grove Nature Reserve last year, and they can be seen around the Brisbane Ranges. Susanne sent me a photo of a leucistic Pacific black duck at Blue Waters Lake, Ocean Grove. This duck has been around the BWL for a year or two. Its plumage is a lot paler than the usual Pacific black duck. This species of duck is brown but has a black stripe that runs across the face from the bill through the eye. These ducks are ‘game’ birds and as it’s currently the cruel duck shooting season, maybe this bird was sheltering at BWL
from the guns. Leucism is a condition of reduced pigmentation affecting various animals such as birds, mammals, and reptiles. It is characterised by an overall pale colour or patches of reduced colouring, caused by a genetic mutation which inhibits melanin and other pigments from being deposited in feathers, hair, or skin. I received an email from Kevin, who came across lots of Australian white ibises and royal spoonbills beside a roadside dam near the Swan Bay Jetty. There must have been close to 100 of them. Sometime later, most of them took flight for no apparent reason. They flew over Kevin, still as mixed groups of ibises and royal spoonbills.

Some of Australia’s biggest names in music have been gracing the Bellarine and Surf Coast this month, as the Surround Sounds Program kicked off on April 7. Paul Kelly, Greg Gold and Stella Perry, Ngubitj Samgooan, Triple One, Gordon Koan and Akaj Kwai are just a few of the artists that have performed throughout the beginning of the program, with plenty of breathtaking acts to follow in the weeks to come. An INXS Tribute Show will be held at the Potato Shed on April 23 by band INXSive, bringing not only INXS’s best hits but also the memorable theatrics and stage presence many will remember. Among other acts, Keith Potger of The Seekers, Adalita of Magic Dirt and Norm Stanley with his didjeridoo will perform throughout the program. Human Nature, Agatha’s Cantata Australian Chamber Choir, Tiana Zaljevic, Baraka the Kid, the Geelong Symphony Orchestra, and Kasey Chambers and Busby Marou will light up the stage. City of Greater Geelong councillor Eddy Kontelj is chair of council’s arts, entertainment and hospitality portfolio He says that the exciting live entertainment celebration marks the relaunch of Geelong’s live music scene, which has long been a favorite feature of the city. “The council and our arts and culture team have been working hard to rejuvenate an industry so badly impacted over the past couple of years,” Cr Kontelj says. “The live acts and performers [at Surround Sounds] are top class and there is sure to be something to satisfy everyone’s taste in music. With our venues ready and welcoming, this is another step toward Geelong becoming the live entertainment hub of Australia.” Appearing at venues such as the Potato Shed, Geelong Arts Centre, City Hall, Geelong Botanic Gardens, Norlane Community Centre,

Local volunteer supports the leaders of tomorrow Many of us wonder about the long-term effects of the pandemic on our youth. EdConnect Australia volunteer Leah Kateiva is nurturing the leaders of tomorrow by supporting students at school in the region who have been affected by the pandemic. Leah joined EdConnect Australia in January, 2021, and mentored a small group of primary-aged pupils to support their wellbeing. Leah explains how her support has delivered strong, positive outcomes for the students she supported.
‘‘
They enjoyed the time spent together and ... they look out for one another
’’
- Leah Kateiva “Each week the same three participants would arrive each with different backgrounds, experiences, struggles, and concerns. On a particular week, the students described they would like to cook together,” Leah says. EdConnect Australia volunteers place an emphasis on supporting students within the region, including those whose learning was disrupted by COVID-19. “It became apparent that the students enjoyed the cooking process. You would be surprised how this linked to some important life lessons,” Leah says. “Resolving conflict over licking the bowl and recognising each student’s strength for different steps of the process, e.g. overseeing,
measuring and mixing. They also had to clean up, sweep the floors and finish the dishes at the end of each session.” On the last day one student decided to facilitate feedback from the group for Leah. “I was overwhelmed with the positive feedback the students gave me and their gratitude for the weekly visits. One student told the group he has been a part of things like this before but always dropped out because he didn’t enjoy it, but he stayed involved this time,” she says. “One other student gave me a rating of ‘infinity’. They also said that before the mentoring started they probably would not ever have been friends, but they enjoyed the time spent together and that now they look out for one another.” Among other services, EdConnect Australia volunteers offer one-on-one mentoring to students in need, learning support assistance in the classroom with subjects such as numeracy, reading, science or help around the school in kitchen garden projects, library, administration, school gardens, and much more. In 2022, EdConnect Australia is on the search for new volunteers looking to take a fresh approach to the new year and make a difference to a student’s life. For more information about the EdConnect volunteering opportunities see www.edconnectaustralia.org.au, contact edconnect@edconnect.org.au or call 1800 668 550.

Bellarine Rail Trail – 32.5km
*
The railway was originally opened in 1879 to assist in the defence of Port Phillip Bay from a potential Russian invasion, and later proved useful to carry visitors to Queenscliff until the line’s closure nearly 100 years later. Begin on the outskirts of Geelong at the showgrounds, taking a gentle incline until you reach the halfway point of Drysdale. You will be rewarded with stunning views back across Geelong, north to Corio Bay and finally the You Yangs. Leave the restored Drysdale railway and ride along the historic Bellarine Peninsula Railway - you may even have the chance to race one of the vintage trains that operate along the railway regularly! Enjoy beautiful birdlife and vibrant wildflowers along the way as you spend approximately 2.5 hours cruising from South Geelong to Queenscliff. This 32.5 kilometre trail will leave you feeling tired but content!
*While stocks last. T&C’s in store.
If you have one of these health funds, ask us about our special discounts.

Bellarine Bay Tour – 80.9km Incorporating breathtaking vineyards, rural views and stunning Bellarine beaches, the Bay Tour begins in Geelong and takes you through Curlewis, Bellarine, Portarlington and Indented Head to St Leonards, Swan Bay, Mannerim, Leopold and Newcomb. This is a medium difficulty ride that will spend some energy and showcase the region’s best sites.
Tour de Bellarine – 104.5km Similar to the Bellarine Bay Tour but with an additional 20-plus kilometres, the medium– difficulty Tour de Bellarine takes riders from Geelong down Portarlington Road to Jetty Road and through to Clifton Springs, Portarlington and Indented Head, as on the Bellarine Bay Tour. From there, make your way to St Leonards and Bluff Road, passing through Swan Bay on Queenscliff Road, heading down to Queenscliff itself and back through Point Lonsdale and Ocean Grove. The home stretch will take you along the Bellarine Highway through Wallington and Leopold, finally reaching Newcomb and ending back
in Geelong proper. Photo-worthy waterfront roads, picturesque wineries and historic villages will decorate your ride and leave you feeling content and exhausted.
Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race – 115km Here’s one for experienced riders. Inspired by one-day classics in Europe, this course takes riders from Geelong to Charlemont, Barwon Heads and along the coast through Connewarre, before heading inland and back towards the Breamlea seaside. Meet ocean views again as you reach Torquay, Jan Juc and Bells Beach, and inland again to Paraparap, Moriac, Gnarwarre and Barrabool, through to Highton, Newtown and Geelong. The course marked cycling legend Cadel Evans’s final professional race in 2015 and is now the location of several elite and family rides each year.

Sip sip hooray at wineries, breweries and distilleries With time off over the school holidays and cooler weather closing in, make the most of the beautiful Bellarine and Surf Coast this autumn – check out some of the region’s finest breweries, wineries and distilleries. Noodledoof Brewing and Distilling Co – Koroit You won’t find many noodles at Noodledoof, what you will find is some seriously good brews. This craft brewery and distillery is found in a refurbished motor garage in the little village of Koroit. There’s something for every taste here, whether you’re a beer connoisseur or gin junkie. Noodledoof’s gins are a collaboration with the local Aboriginal corporation Worn Gundidj and they hero indigenous botanicals such as correa alba, lemon myrtle and mountain pepper. The beers change seasonally, so there’s always something new to discover. They’ve also got a stacked menu of hearty comfort food to soak up all those drinks. Otways Distillery – Forrest High in the hinterlands, this micro distillery is doing brilliant things with gin. These organic spirits showcase the flavours of The Otways, with locally sourced and foraged ingredients. The crew don’t stop at gin. They also whip up small batch vodka, limoncello, blood orangecello and a grappa-style moonshine. The Otways Distillery spirit and ready to drink range is available at the Forrest General Store. Brown Magpie Wines – Modewarre You’ll find Brown Magpie Wines overlooking Mount Moriac, in the Surf Coast hinterlands just outside Geelong. The wines are handcrafted and wholly estate made, with grapes grown in the nine hectare vineyard. The boutique winery opens its cellar door seasonally for wine lovers to come in and taste the award-winning cool
Heroes wine can be found around the region – pop in to try it for yourself! (Supplied)
climate wines. Afterwards, enjoy a glass on the terrace and keep an eye out for the winery’s namesake rare brown magpie. “Heroes” Vineyard – Murroon Another stop on the Otway Harvest Trail, “Heroes” celebrates organic wines and sustainability. And yes – that name is a nod to David Bowie! The vines are unirrigated and organically grown with no synthetic pesticides. Wines are made with minimal intervention,
resulting in premium cool climate wines. The cellar door is open on weekends from December to Easter and is kid and pooch friendly. Pick up a bottle of their zingy Deeds Not Words sparkling rose, we think Bowie would approve. Suffoir Winery, Brewery and Distillery – MacArthur All the good things in life have collided to create this one-stop bevvy shop in MacArthur.
This working farm is home to a family-owned and run boutique micro-winery, brewery, cidery, distillery and cellar door. All their drops are produced on-site in small quantities, so every visit can be different. Pull up a seat at the cellar door for a tasting (gin, craft beer or wine, the choice is yours) or settle in with a cheeseboard. It’s a must-visit when heading to nearby Budj Bim National Park.

Wright, Toledo ride high By Ash Bolt Australian Tyler Wright and Brazilian Felipe Toledo have both rung bell after taking out the Rip Curl Pro in Torquay on Sunday. It was the first win for both surfers, after both had previously finished runner up at the country’s largest surfing competition. Action moved from Bells Beach to nearby Rincon on Sunday, April 17, with three-to-four foot conditions for the semi-finals in the morning and competition finishing in two-to-three foot waves in the afternoon. Two-time WSL champion Wright was the form surfer of the event, posting excellent scores throughout, with the final being no different. In the last heat of the event, Wright took on three-time Bells winner and reigning five-time WSL champion, Carissa Moore, in what was their third Bells final together. With Moore clinching wins over Wright in 2013 and 2014, Wright found redemption from the first exchange, as she posted an 8.93 (out of a possible 10) in the opening seconds of the heat then backed it up with an 8.00 and left Moore chasing for the remainder of the heat. Her score of 16.93 was her third highest of the tournament, showing her consistent performances, and gave her the win, with Moore scoring 10.57. The win moved Wright to the second position on the world rankings.

“Honestly this means the world right now,” she said. “This is an emotional win for me. I’ve won two world titles but this win feels almost as big for me. “I’ve been competing here and walking down those stairs for 12 years now and to get the win, with a lot of my family here, I’m over the moon and beyond stoked. “It’s been a long four years for me recovering from what I went through (post-viral syndrome) and I’m only just feeling like myself in the water again. “There’s been multiple times where I just wanted to give up. I worked so hard to be here,
and I’m just so beyond grateful to have the support I had, and the love and the care as well. “It is more than a win, it’s the only event I ever really wanted to win and here I am and I’m pretty over the moon and beyond stoked.” Toledo also found redemption on Sunday, after previously finishing runner up in the Rip Curl Pro to John John Florence in 2019. In the final, Toledo came up against Australian rookie Callum Robson who was on a devastating run of form, but it was no match for the perennial title threat as he claimed the title. An 8.17 early in his heat put him ahead early and Robson was unable to catch up, with the Brazilian finishing with a score of 14.74 to Robson’s 12.94. “The last few years we haven’t been able to come here (to Bells Beach) because of everything that has been going on and we’ve missed you Bells. I’m really happy to be back here, it’s been an amazing week,” Toledo said. “After I beat John (Florence, in the quarter final) I had that extra confidence going into the next few heats which was exciting. “It was cool to share a final with Callum. I’ve been coming here for nine years trying to get a Bell and this guy is in the final in his first year, which is crazy.” It was a big week for Robson in his first Rip Curl Pro, knocking out surfing legend Mick Fanning and moving into sixth place on the world rankings.
Senior pennant premiers crowned LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers It was grand final week in Tennis Geelong’s senior Saturday pennant last week, and spectators were treated to some fantastic matches. There were three matches level on sets and decided on games – Section 2 men’s, and Sections 6 and 9 mixed. Newcomb was crowned premiers in Section 2 men’s with a three game advantage, despite Jarrod Zannardo winning his three sets for Wandana Heights. Wandana matched Highton set for set in Section 9 mixed, but Wandana again missed out to a slightly more consistent Highton by two games. In Section 6 mixed however, Wandana had nerves of steel against Newcomb, where again the match went set for set, with only as much as one game the difference the whole day and Wandana finishing one game ahead on completion. While these matches went down to the wire, Section 4 mixed took it to the extreme with Moriac Blue and Anglesea tied after six sets, and having to take it to a decider. Anglesea was a game ahead after the first mixed sets, and still only a game ahead after the doubles, but Moriac managed to make up the game in the reverse mixed sets. Both teams chose their mixed pair for the deciding set, and Anglesea’s Claire Ingham and James Hardman rewarded their team’s faith in them taking the final set 6-1. While a number of matches were close, several of the men’s sections were anything but. While there was good tennis and some close sets, Grovedale (Section 1 and 5), Hamlyn Park (Section 3) and Drysdale (Section 6) all dominated on the day taking their matches in a clean sweep. Section 1 mixed was a battle of Grovedale, with newcomers Gold taking on reigning premier Yellow. Gold was undefeated for the season and remained so at the end of the day taking the match 4-2, with the mixed sets split, but too strong in both doubles. Moriac and Highton had alternated wins through the season and first semi in Section 2

After losing on games in the first semi, the Springs lost a close one 7-5 in the first mixed set, but then dominated taking the next five sets to earn the crown of premiers. Section 4 men saw Hamlyn Park win a tight one over nemesis Bannockburn 4-2. With only one game the difference going into the final two sets, either team was poised to
take the win, but the Park held its nerve taking the final two sets 6-4. Wandana Heights (Section 5 mixed) and Surfcoast Jan Juc (Section 7 mixed) both took upset wins, with Wandana spoiling St Mary’s unbeaten run taking their match 4-2, and the Juc toppling minor premier Grovedale 5-1. Sutherland’s Creek would have fancied its chances against Drysdale in Section 8 mixed, after toppling minor premier Wandana Heights in the first semi, but Drysdale’s doubles pairs proved the difference taking the premiership from third.

Grubbers hunt for coach By Justin Flynn Ocean Grove is on the lookout for a new cricket coach with Paul Jubber standing down from the position. The Grubbers made the finals this season, but Jubber has decided to step down from the role. Wallington has appointed Matthew Sampson-Barnes as coach. The former Bell Post Hill all-rounder will take charge in a bid to get the Wallabies into the A2 Grade finals. Jason Mallett will don the whites for Barwon Heads this season after a few years off.

talented, Seagulls’ side as they strive to get back into A1 Grade. Anglesea will be without gun pair Ned Cooper and Dale Kerr this season. Star batter Cooper and fast bowler Kerr will play for North Geelong, leaving the Seas without their two best players from the past six seasons. The duo has been instrumental in Anglesea’s BPCA dominance, but have decided the challenge of a better standard of cricket and the lure of playing on turf too great to turn down. Ben Grinter has left Jan Juc for a shot at turf cricket at Bell Park. The prolific left-hand batter has been a star for the Sharks over the years, but at 31, he said the time was right for a change. Former Grovedale star Nick Hyden will take charge of Jan Juc as a captain coach.

Kean bound for Birmingham games Brenna Kean’s journey to the Commonwealth Games will be a little bit different to most other athletes competing in Birmingham this year. The 27-year-old Geelong paramedic will make her Commonwealth Games debut as one of 11 weightlifters picked to represent Australia at the games, competing in the 59 kilogram division. But unlike most of her competitors, competing at the games hasn’t been a lifelong goal. In fact, Brenna only competed in her first weightlifting event just over one year ago. “Growing up in Ocean Grove, I was always a competitive person and competed in swimming for the Geelong Swimming Club,” she said. “I’ve always loved my fitness and going to the gym and in 2018 a friend introduced me to CrossFit. “I loved it and I found I felt more natural with the strength-based parts of it, and that’s how I got into weightlifting. “I reached out to a friend who is a weightlifter for a bit of help with technique and started from there.” Despite training out of Breakwater Athletics, Brenna reached out to Brisbane-based coach Miles Wydall before her first competition in 26 OCEAN GROVE VOICE Friday, 22 April, 2022
March last year. “It’s been a whirlwind 12 months,” she said. “I had my first competition in March last year and I’ve done a few more competitions since then. “After the first few competitions, my coach said to me that he felt I had potential to make the Commonwealth Games team. “Having someone have that belief in you is an amazing motivator to keep going and pushing.” Brenna said she knew she was around the mark of making the squad after strong results at her first international tournament in Singapore in February. There she set a snatch personal best of 82kg and equalled her clean and jerk personal best of 108kg from the national championships in November. Showing her quick rise in the sport, she had already improved her total personal best from 155kg to 190kg within the first year of her competitive career. Brenna said the official announcement on Tuesday that she had made the team was “amazing”. “It’s almost feels unbelievable that I’ve been picked,” she said. “I knew I was around the mark but you never

know until it’s official. “It hasn’t been a long time for me, but a lot of hard work has gone into this and to see it paying off feels so good.” Brenna said it had been a challenge to balance training with her busy schedule as a paramedic. “[Weightlifting] and keeping fit has been a release for me with my job as a paramedic,” she said. “It’s been a really busy and stressful couple of years for paramedics but to have that goal in front of me has made it easier to get into the gym and do the training, particularly after a couple of night shifts.” Brenna said she was excited to compete at the Games, which are now less than 100 days away. “I’m really looking forward to competing against the best in the world,” she said. “It’s an amazing opportunity for me. “Every competitor wants to win and I’m a very competitive person so I’d love to come home with the gold medal. “But really, I don’t want to put a limit on myself with what I can achieve. I just want to worry about myself, do the best that I can and enjoy he experience.”
A nice long weekend with good weather saw anglers flock all over the region to chase a feed of fish, with Corio Bay and the outer harbour producing some great fishing. King George whiting have been well on the chew all over the place, with some current hotspots being Stingaree Bay, Hermsley, Clifton Springs and Bird Rock. Fresh pipis and squid have been dynamite baits and fishing the faster tides has been the most productive time, if you can time that on sunrise or sunset even better. Pinky snapper have also been on chew across the bay and over the next few months the inner harbour should really fire up. There have also been some great reports of larger fish around the six kilogram mark being caught in the outer harbour. Anglers soaking baits like pilchards and fresh calamari have been having the best results and yet again fishing the tides is ideal. Calamari have been hanging around in great numbers right across the Bellarine Peninsula with St Leonards being the standout location, where bag limit captures have been on offer. Drifting in 2.5 to five metres of water has been the prime depth and finding clean water has been key. Natural coloured jigs in 3.0 and 3.5 have been doing all the damage. Offshore Barwon Heads has continued to fish well for bottom fish such as flathead, gummy sharks and snapper. Some quality captures for all three species have been on offer with the 40-metre line producing plenty of fish for the table. School bluefin tuna have still been in great numbers offshore with anglers still finding them thrashing into schools of baitfish off the surface. The fish are pushing west towards Anglesea but if you’re up for a small drive the fish are there. Further down the coast from Apollo Bay to Port MacDonnell has been a hot barrel tuna bite with further west seeming to be better. The fish have been eating a whole variety of lures including skirts, divers and topwater lures with sizes ranging anywhere from 30-150kg. Wurdi Buloc Reservoir is still fishing very well for trout and redfin, yet again the rockwalls producing some cracking fish on spoons and hardbodies. Strike Pro Bobbin spoons have been a standout for the spoons and Megabass X70s are another great option.

Double clean sweep for Ocean Grove Ocean Grove made it two clean sweeps in row in senior and junior netball against Anglesea and then Newcomb on Easter Saturday. Most of the junior teams had a bye against Newcomb, but the senior sides kept their impressive form going.
Grubbers lose in thriller By Justin Flynn Ocean Grove sits at a perilous 0-3 win-loss record after thrilling three-point loss to Newcomb on Easter Saturday. The massive home crowd was left disappointed when Newcomb’s Richie Hollins took a game saving mark in Ocean Grove’s forward 50, with spearhead James Paterson breathing down his neck. The siren sounded not long after to signal a 10.10(70) to 9.13(67) win to the Power. Despite the season not starting the way he wanted, Ocean Grove coach Pete Davey said the playing group remained upbeat after the loss. “We have a saying in our group that nothing is ever as good as it seems and nothing is ever as bad as it seems so while we were obviously flat for a period of time after the game, our guys are good at moving on and not dwelling on things for too long,” he said. “Outwardly, people will look at 0-3 as being doom and gloom but internally, we look at it as being an exciting challenge and one that we’re all up for.” Ocean Grove held an eight-point lead at half time, but Davey said it should have been more. “Similarly to last weekend, we could, and probably should, have gone into the main break with a healthy buffer but instead, through poor execution and conversion, we were never able to get that three-goal lead that may have dented the opposition’s spirit,” he said. “We played a really hungry and disciplined team and quite simply, Newcomb made the better of their opportunities than we did.” Newcomb was well served by Nathan McDonald, Hollins and Andrew Steele, who booted two crucial final-term goals. Young tall Kye Annand continues to impress for Ocean Grove while Mitch Taylor and Harley Pearce were also good. Davey felt his side turned a corner in the second half against Newcomb. “I think we turned a corner in that second half where some of our run and linkage started to come together,” he said. “We controlled the play for longer periods but again, just weren’t able to convert that into scoreboard reward.” Ocean Grove’s next opponent is a hungry and young Queenscliff side that pushed Drysdale all the way on Saturday in a one-point loss. “We’ve clearly dug ourselves a bit of hole but we know it’s one that we can certainly work our way out of and that begins next weekend at Queenscliff,” Davey said.

“We’ll look at the positives from this game, which again goes back to playing our style of footy, and challenge ourselves to do that for long periods.”
Ocean Grove won the reserves clash by 14 points, 8.12(60) to 7.4(46). Bryn D’Arcy, Nick Chapman and Rhys Hobbs were among the Grubbers’ best.
