Arts centre tops out The Geelong Arts Centre redevelopment project has reached a key milestone this week. On Wednesday, builders placed the last beam on the $140 million facility’s four-storey structure, officially “topping out” the build. Work by contractor Lendlease will continue, with the project on track to be completed by late 2023. The project will create more than 600 jobs during construction, while the expanded, state-of-the-art centre is expected to create up to 300 ongoing jobs in the region, taking in the arts and tourism sectors. The Little Malop Street redevelopment is the largest stage of Geelong Arts Centre’s transformation, following the refurbishment of the Playhouse Theatre in 2010 and the $38.5 million Ryrie Street redevelopment, completed in 2019. The current project will see two new theatres, outdoor atrium and dining facilities built, and new back-of-house and administration facilities.

Support for new parents By Ash Bolt New parents will soon have more access to early parenting support in a state-of-the-art facility, with major work under way on Geelong’s new Early Parenting Centre. Health Minister Martin Foley this week announced the multi-million-dollar facility would be located at Barwon Health’s McKellar Centre. The centre is part of the state government’s $123 million investment to deliver nine state-of-the-art early parenting centres in major growth areas across the state. Mr Foley said Geelong’s new centre would provide parents and carers with the advice and care they needed, including support with sleep

and settling, feeding and extra care for babies and toddlers with additional needs. Sleep and settling is one of the biggest challenges facing new parents, with around one in two Victorian parents who are attending early parenting centres reporting problems with their child’s sleep, the government said. Sleeping problems have been found to lead to postnatal depression, isolation and stress for parents and impact a child’s behavioural and physical development. Barwon Health chief executive Frances Diver said the centre would provide a long-lasting benefit to Geelong families. “This much-needed centre will provide support for hundreds of families in Geelong

and the Barwon South West region, reducing the need to travel to Melbourne,” she said. “We know the first four years can be particularly challenging for families; this centre will provide a holistic approach to common concerns in the early years.” With 10 residential units and four day stay units, the centre will provide both day stays and long residential stay programs to improve the health, wellbeing and developmental outcomes for children aged up to four-years-old. Early works have begun on site to deliver new car spaces and prepare the site for major construction works. The centre will be operated by Barwon Health in partnership with Tweddle Child and

Family Health Service. Ms Diver said Barwon Health had committed to partnering with the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative and other groups to ensure the centre provided a culturally responsive service. The construction project will be delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority. Construction work will start in the coming months with the centre expected to be completed and operational in 2024. “Facilities like this are great for new mums and dads, they give you the certainty that when things go wrong or you wonder if you’re doing something right, you won’t have to leave Geelong to get the support or answers you need,” Geelong MP Christine Couzens said.

$50 million boost for bioeconomy By Ash Bolt Deakin University will spearhead the largest recycling and clean energy advanced manufacturing ecosystem in Australia, thanks to $50 million from the federal government’s inaugural Trailblazer Universities Program. Deakin’s Recycling and Renewable Energy Commercialisation Hub (REACH) is the latest Trailblazer university program to be announced as part of a national program to address national manufacturing priorities. The budgeted government funding will be matched with support from industry and university partners for a total value of $380 million. Deakin will work with governments, industry, and education partners to establish a multi-billion dollar bioeconomy in Victoria, focused on clean energy, recycling and greener

supply chains. Deakin research deputy vice-chancellor Professor Julie Owens said the funding will keep Deakin and Victoria at the forefront of the global green manufacturing revolution. “Recycling and renewable energy are key to reducing landfills, reliance on fossil fuels, and the devastating costs of global warming. Materials and energy are essential to manufacturing. As global markets move from a throughput economy to a circular economy, demand for greener, more resilient supply chains will continue to grow,” she said. Professor Owens said REACH would capitalise on Deakin’s strengths in battery technology, carbon fibre, recycling and hydrogen, and those of Australia’s national science agency CSIRO, accelerating ideas into smart, sustainable manufacturing solutions.

“REACH will help build Australia’s sovereign capability in key manufacturing priorities, driving the country’s single largest recycling and clean energy advanced manufacturing ecosystem. By strengthening research, development and production opportunities onshore, we can ensure that our manufacturers are more internationally competitive,” she said. Deakin research innovations executive director Ross Mahon said forward estimates calculated that REACH industry partners would generate $1.4 billion in revenue within 10 years. “Through the REACH program, we will create more than 2500 jobs within 10 years and provide a solid technology platform for further investment during this time leading to as many as 7000 jobs,” Mr Mahon said. “Collaboration with universities and TAFE institutes will create a job-ready workforce

Barwon Heads Road closures Geelong motorists have been urged to prepare as roadworks on Barwon Heads Road are set to ramp up over winter. A three week construction blitz will close the intersection at Barwon Heads Road and Breakwater Road in Belmont to most traffic from June 17. The closure will allow crews the chance to raise the entire intersection by up to a metre to help prevent future flooding. Motorists are urged to plan ahead with delays up to 20 minutes expected. Work will continue to build two new lanes on Barwon Heads Road, with the northbound lane between Breakwater and Settlement Roads to be closed from Friday, May 27 to Friday, June 17. The winter construction blitz will also see several Barwon Water pipes relocated and upgraded as early works on the South Geelong to Waurn Ponds Duplication ramp up in preparation to start track work later this year. Separate works on the Warrnambool train line also means coaches will replace trains between Geelong and Warrnambool from June 20 to June 29. “We’re delivering the upgrades to regional roads and train lines we promised, supporting hundreds of jobs throughout regional Victoria,” Transport Infrastructure Minister Jacinta Allan said. “We encourage Victorians travelling during this period to plan ahead and we thank them for their patience as we deliver these vital upgrades.” Ash Bolt

The Give Where You Live Foundation is asking the Geelong community to dig deep and get behind its 2022 Give Geelong Appeal. Raising vital funds for the Geelong community, the Give Geelong Appeal was launched on Thursday by ambassador and City of Greater Geelong deputy mayor Trent Sullivan at the foundation’s Give Geelong Breakfast. The appeal runs until Saturday, May 21. Give Where You Live Foundation chief executive Bill Mithen said the Give Geelong Appeal raised vital funds to create a fairer G21 community. “Now more than ever, we need the people of Geelong to come together to help raise funds for our community. Every dollar raised in our Give Geelong Appeal, supports the Give Where You Live Foundation’s vital work across the G21 region. Your donations have a very immediate and local impact,” he said. As part of the appeal, on Friday, May 20 businesses from across the region will come together and don their footy colours to raise money for the appeal. “There are many ways the community can get involved in our Give Geelong Appeal, including wearing your footy colours and making a donation on Friday. It doesn’t matter what team or league you follow, get your footy colours on and let’s unite to support our community,” Mr Mithen said. Cr Sullivan encouraged the community to consider supporting the appeal by donating or getting involved in one of the Give Geelong Appeal activities. “The Give Geelong Appeal allows the community to give back to the city where they live, work, and play. The impact of making a donation to this year’s Give Geelong Appeal will be felt in so many ways across our community,” he said.

qualified in emerging technologies, and a high number of graduates will feed into companies associated with REACH. “More than 40 per cent of the companies involved are small and medium enterprises that will perform 80 per cent of the work in regional Australia. Deakin’s proven production and pilot facilities will provide a springboard for next-level commercialisation both locally and overseas, driving ongoing economic and employment benefits.” Initial REACH supported research-industry partnership projects include establishing an Australian supply chain for the manufacture of advanced technology batteries; building local capability to store and use hydrogen across a broad technology base; and converting organic and inorganic waste into higher-value products.

Energy Hub creates major jobs boost HUNDREDS of construction jobs will be created by the pipeline of major projects under development at the Geelong Energy Hub. Viva Energy’s vision to diversify the Geelong refinery into a key energy gateway is being driven by the biggest round of investments in the site since it was established nearly 70 years ago.

These projects will give local suppliers and their supply chains a significant boost, injecting millions of dollars into the local economy.

Build 90 million litres of strategic diesel storage to improve Australia’s fuel security;

The investments we are pursuing will create around 500-550 local construction jobs as well as ongoing operational roles. Subject to approvals, over the next few years Viva Energy will; Upgrade processing capability at the refinery to produce Ultra-Low Sulphur Gasoline, leading to lower vehicle emissions;

Create a gas terminal at Refinery Pier that will provide a flexible solution to forecast gas shortages; Construct a New Energies Service Station featuring hydrogen refuelling for heavy vehicles; and, Instal a solar farm that will generate 12-20 megawatts of renewable energy. Viva Energy has also announced the purchase of LyondellBasell Australia, a polymer manufacturer and distributor with its plant co-located at the refinery.

These projects will give local suppliers and their supply chains a significant boost, injecting millions of dollars into the local economy.

Another project that has involved local expertise is construction of a state-of-the-art Refinery Control Room that is set to start operating soon. Viva Energy already injects about $200 million a year in wages and services into the local economy through its operation of the refinery. We are committed to supporting the Geelong community as we provide energy security for Victoria while navigating the transition to renewable and alternative energies. Our investments will be backed by development of new skills and technology as we create high-quality, local jobs and build a sustainable future for the Geelong Energy Hub.

Project Manager Paul Lewis examines the new Refinery Control Room, due to commence operation in coming weeks.

Family connection runs deep at refinery “It was good to have someone in the family who worked at the refinery,” Glenn says. “It was the place in Geelong where everybody would have liked to work because it was well paid and because it was going places.”

IT’S about 65 years since Warren and Irene Harris left the country Victorian town of Minyip looking to find work, create a home and start a family in Geelong.

Glenn says technology and highly advanced control operations have taken over much of the manual operations of his father’s day.

Warren, who had turned his hand to driving buses and taxis, landed a job at the refinery in about 1960, starting a family connection that now spans three generations.

“The refinery has supported our family all the way through our lives,” Glenn says.

The two Harris sisters only worked for a short time at the fly strip plant but elder brother Wayne was there for a decade in an IT career that included working on the refinery’s first computers.

– Glenn Harris

Glenn’s path to the refinery took longer, working for 27 years at Alcoa where he was maintenance superintendent when the Pt Henry smelter closed in 2014.

“Dad brought us all up while working at the refinery. My brother Wayne brought up three kids while working at the refinery.” Glenn remembers the sense of community and camaraderie shared by the friends of families of his father’s colleagues with Christmas celebrations at the Shell Club, where Warren had been one of the early members.

A stint in Saudi Arabia was followed by another job back in Geelong before he secured a job with Viva Energy contractor UGL and he is now the Area South Maintenance Co-ordinator at the refinery. Glenn Harris and his mum Irene who created a life in Geelong with her husband Warren, bottom right, who worked at the refinery for about 30 years.

Both he and son Kyle have been working at the refinery for about four years.

While Warren and Wayne are no longer with us, Mum Irene is well into her 80s and still lives in Corio where she and Warren invested their hopes and dreams for a better future all those years ago.

“The refinery has supported our family all the way through our lives.”

Warren retired in 1990 with the former head operator’s name still on a board in one of the old Distillation buildings.

All four of the couple’s children – Wayne, Christine, Gail and Glenn – have worked at the refinery, with Glenn’s son Kyle, an operator, also following in his grandfather’s footsteps.

“I am very lucky to be re-employed I guess,” Glenn says. “I was thinking (when Alcoa closed), who was going to employ me at my age?”

Extra cash for Barwon Heads Rd By Ash Bolt The Barwon Heads Road upgrade will get a significant funding boost under a re-elected Liberal government. Liberal candidate for Corangamite Stephanie Asher said the Liberal Party would invest another $200 million into the project if it’s re-elected on Saturday. The commitment would build on the $292 million already provided for the project’s first stage – the duplication of Barwon Heads Road between Settlement Road and Reserve Road, which is currently under construction. Stage two of the Barwon Heads Road upgrade involves the duplication of an additional six kilometres of road between Reserve Road in Marshall and Lower Duneed Road in Armstrong Creek.

With 60,000 people expected to move into Armstrong Creek over coming years, Ms Asher said the project would better connect significant growth corridors from southern Geelong to Barwon Heads and beyond on the Bellarine Peninsula. “This road is critical for growing Marshall, Armstrong Creek and Charlemont communities and those living on the Bellarine in Barwon Heads, Ocean Grove and beyond,” she said. “I’m proud to make this significant commitment towards this essential local project. Only the Morrison Liberal government will fund and deliver the Barwon Heads Road Upgrade.” This commitment represents an 80 per cent share of the total estimated cost of the $250 million project and is conditional on the state

government contributing the remaining $50 million. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the $200 million investment demonstrated the government’s commitment towards creating more jobs and keeping people moving. “We recognise this is a vital stretch of road and only a Morrison Liberal government can be trusted to deliver the necessary upgrades to get locals home sooner and safer,” he said. “Our strong economic management has allowed us to invest in this important project to support a fast-growing region, making sure the critical Barwon Heads Road gets the upgrades required to meet the needs of local residents, farmers and businesses.” Labor had previously committed in November to invest $125 million into the project.

“That’s the costing that’s been done by G21 and the Geelong Council, so we believe this will ensure the project can go ahead,” Labor leader Anthony Albanese said at the time. “We want to make sure that it happens. “What we’re saying is this funding will be available from our first budget, and it will be included in our first budget. “We know that by 2031 this road is projected to carry some 44,000 trucks and cars every single day. So, we know that this is a major issue for this community. “We understand that the population here will grow to some 60,000 people, which is why we need infrastructure and this announcement … building on the work that’s already underway, will make a significant difference to productivity, to safety, to improving the lives of those people in this growing community.”

Boost for Queenscliff’s Blues Train Queenscliff’s iconic Blues Train will be one of 131 live-music venues to benefit from a state government grant to boost the industry statewide. Creative Industries Minister Danny Pearson visited Queenscliff’s Blues Train to announce the grants, including the music-fuelled train, through the Victorian Live Music Venue Support Program. Since opening in 1994, the Blues Train has taken more than 300,000 guests on a local heritage journey sound-tracked by some of the region’s most talented blues and roots musicians. New funding will see music return to the tracks. Among new support recipients is

Queenscliff Town Hall, which opened as a music venue last year thanks to a partnership between the Queenscliff Music Festival and the Borough of Queenscliff – addressing a lack of venues in an area known for music-loving audiences. The announcement was made to get artists back on stages, audiences back in venues and help live music make a strong return across the state. Targeting venues with capacities of 50 to 1200 people, the program provides grants of up to $65,000. “It’s a well known fact that Victoria is Australia’s live-music capital, this latest funding will ensure our live music industry

can offer the best experiences and continue to attract visitors from across Australia and the world,” Mr Pearson said. “From blues trains to bandrooms, halls to hotels, these venues mean that artists can get in front of audiences and punters can enjoy incredible live performances right across our state.” Bellarine MP Lisa Neville added: “Queenscliff has such a rich musical background, and this funding will go a long way in showcasing all our talented region has to offer.” Details: creative.vic.gov.au.

The camera systems are expected to create a safer and more secure community by helping to deter anti-social behaviour, assisting with crime investigations, improving safety for evening commuters and providing usage information that is important for active transport and urban space planning.

MY GEELONG Lynsday and David Sharp are co-owners of some of the Bellarine’s most iconic wineries, restaurants and now boutique accommodation at Curlewis. Lyndsay speaks to Justin Flynn about what makes the peninsula so special. What’s your connection to the Bellarine? I grew up in Geelong so connection to – and love of – this region goes without saying. David and I lived in Barwon Heads for years and had our three children while living there. They are all coastal babies so their happy places will forever be sea and space. We moved to Curlewis in 2007 when we purchased Leura Park Estate.

Tell us something people would be surprised to know about you... Apart from a quick stint at Geelong’s original Pancake Parlour in first-year university holidays, my first real hospitality job was in a nightclub in Jerusalem in my 20s. That was a very funny – and wild – time. My mum was always hysterical about it when I would ring home (reverse charges in those days) because it wasn’t really the safest place but at that age you don’t really pay attention to ‘pesky’ little details like that. I was travelling with a friend and we ended up being based in Jerusalem for quite a long time. That job planted the seed of my passion for hospitality.

What do you like about where you live? The space, people and lifestyle. We’re lucky to live on a farm so we have lots of outdoor space while being close to everything. It’s the best of both worlds and a great community to be part of.

Where is your favourite local place to spend time? The beach is right up there. I tend to slip over to Ocean Grove or Barwon Heads for a quick swim on super-hot days.

on the Geelong Arts Centre or Gallery either – how lucky are we to have such amazing, inspirational facilities on our doorstep?

As the managing director of so many local places to dine and drink, what is the best part about that? Facilitating people’s down time and creating great experiences. There’s a genuine thrill in doing that. Hospitality and tourism are seriously fun industries to work in – you’re surrounded by creative people, great food and wine and it’s energising coming up with ideas and working with passionate people who are all committed to showcasing all this region has to offer. There’s also a lot of pride in providing career paths for a lot of people – a lot of our staff have been with us for more than 10 years (yes, even including chefs) so hopefully we’re seen as good employers. It’s also a privilege to be in a position to support a lot of community platforms and causes. To help out and make even a small, positive difference within the community is very humbling and rewarding.

Author to release second book By Ash Bolt Geelong author and police officer David Hicks is set to release his second crime fiction novel later this month. The Fallback will be published on May 31, and follows his successful first novel, The Devil Inside, in 2020. The novel follows the investigation when a dead body turns up in a fictional coastal town based on the south coast of New South Wales and brings back characters from the first novel. In his youth Hicks had wanted to study journalism and always enjoyed writing. “I’ve always loved writing … I wanted to get into journalism when I left school, but never did,” he said. “But I used to just write for myself, like if we were going on a holiday or something, I’d write about it. “A friend and I started to write as part of a challenge called National Novel Writing Month, where you try and write a 50,000 word novel in a month, just to get the words out. “We did that over a few years and that’s where the [first] manuscript came from initially, and I sent it out to lots of different people and finally got someone that liked it. “I had always thought about writing a book but the story is that it’s a one in a million chance. So many people put in manuscripts and there’s so many good books that come out every week, that it’s almost a dream that you never thought could eventuate. “I was lucky enough to find someone who read that first manuscript and then championed me to the publisher.” Hicks said his passion for writing come from being a reader. “I’ve always been a big reader. I’m always reading something. My mum is massive reader and while dad wasn’t a reader, he always bought books for us,” he said.

“I think when you’re a big reader, you’re always drawn to wanting to write your own book. “I find that I can write the books that I would like to read.” Having spent almost 30 years as a general duties police officer, Hicks said he had plenty to draw on for his novels.

“It certainly helps [having that background],” he said. “Obviously when you’re writing crime novels, you’ve got a lot to pull on. “There’s privacy issues and so I don’t talk directly about any cases or anything that I’ve been involved in, but it does help with picking up on character traits – that’s with people that you work with as well as people that

you deal with. “In my job, you’re dealing a lot with people in bad situations, so you get to see both offenders and victims, and the way people react. “Lots of people react quite differently to different situations. And I think pulling on those experiences hopefully give a little bit more reality to the story.”

Following the suspension of in-person circuit sittings, the County Court of Victoria implemented a new process for regional matters. Under the process, all pleas and appeals against sentences are provided with a fixed listing date upon committal or appeal lodgement. “The majority of these matters were conducted virtually using video conferencing software, with appearances in court permitted under limited circumstances,” a court spokesperson said. “This has reduced the delay for these types of matters.”

Vaccination hub closing down By Ash Bolt Barwon Health is set to reach a major milestone in its vaccination program, with the doors at the former Ford Factory hub set to close this next week. Staff at the hub will relocate to a smaller hub in Belmont as vaccination dose numbers decline due to the region’s high fully-vaccinated status. Located in the former civic function centre at the rear of the Belmont Community Health Centre, the newly renamed Barwon Health Vaccination Centre will expand from offering

flu vaccinations and immunisations to also provide COVID-19 vaccinations. Barwon South West Public Health Unit co-director Deb Kay said the move was an indication of how far the community had come in the fight against COVID-19. “Our community has responded very well to COVID-19 vaccinations, meaning there is only a very small group of people in the region currently unvaccinated. This means we are now able to down-size the program and the venue of our COVID-19 vaccines,” she said. “Our immunisation team has been offering childhood immunisations and flu

vaccinations here for a number of years so it is a natural progression for our COVID-19 vaccination team to make the move to bring vaccinations together in one location.” Vaccination hub administration manager Jess Talbot believed the move was a major milestone for hub staff. “We are excited to be moving to a smaller venue, as it means vaccination rates in our region are exceptional and our community has come together to protect each other and get vaccinated,” she said. “I’m so proud of our staff that have been part of a historic vaccination rollout.

We have all worked together to support each other throughout the past 12 months.” The last vaccination at the former Ford Factory in Norlane will take place on Saturday, May 21, before the doors to the Barwon Health Vaccination Centre in Belmont open on Wednesday, May 25 at 8.45am. The new location will continue to offer walk-ins and bookings for COVID-19 vaccinations for all people aged over five years. Bookings for the centre can be made by calling 1800 675 398 or online at portal.cvms. vic.gov.au

Schools get Labor commitment By Ash Bolt Labor has committed almost $125,000 to improve education in the Corio electorate if it is elected this weekend. Corio MP Richard Marles said an Albanese government would provide $123,937 to three primary school and family service provider Bethany. Bethany will receive $20,000 for its playgroup, which provides early intervention and promotes early learning for families in Geelong’s northern suburbs. The funding will allow Bethany to enhance its students’ learning with new digital resources, books, furniture and play equipment suitable for children with

disability or from Indigenous culturally diverse backgrounds. Newcomb, Oberon and Whittington primary schools will also benefit. Newcomb Primary School will get $40,000 to install a sensory room which would provide a safe space for pupils to regulate their emotions and support their social, emotional, and cognitive learning, while Oberon Primary School will get $35,000 for an all-inclusive multi-sensory learning space. Whittington Primary School will receive $28,937, which will allow it to expand its ‘Soundfield’ system technology. The technology improves the acoustics in classrooms, making them more accessible for pupils with hearing loss, auditory processing

disorder, learning difficulties, developmental disabilities and students who speak English as a second language. “Labor believes every Australian child deserves the best start in life, including early years education and a great school education,” Mr Marles said. “The past two years have been hard for all Australians. But our kids have suffered a unique loss. Remote learning, isolated from friends, and missed events, have turned what should be some of the best years of their lives into a bit of a nightmare. “Investing in school upgrades like these ensure our schools are equipped to provide a world-class education. They also give kids the chance to participate in activities that are

crucial to their development and wellbeing. “These announcements are just part of Labor’s commitments to invest in local schools. An Albanese Labor government will also ensure every school reaches its fair funding level, and will deliver $440 million to schools for better ventilation, building upgrades and mental health support, to help kids bounce back after COVID.” Mr Marles said if elected, the Labor government would continue to invest in schools, local toy libraries and playgroups across the Corio electorate. He also said Labor would bring down the cost of child care for 96 per cent of families in the system in response to cost of living pressures.

Geelong set to head to the polls on Saturday Geelong residents will have the chance to elect Australia’s prime minister at the 2022 federal election on Saturday. The region is divided across two electorates – Corio and Corangamite – with the Corangamite electorate seen to be one of the most important in determining which party will form government. Corangamite covers the Bellarine Peninsula, Leopold, Geelong’s southern growth areas including Grovedale, Waurn Ponds and Armstrong Creek, Bannockburn and the Surf Coast. It is one of the most marginal seats in the country, with Labor MP Libby Coker winning the seat at the 2019 election by just one per cent in the two-party preferred voting. The seat has changed hands three times in

the past 20 years, with now state Labor MP Darren Cheeseman winning the seat from the Liberal Party in 2007, before now senator

Sarah Henderson held it for the Liberals between 2013 and 2019. The campaign has seen significant funding commitments for Corangamite from both major parties. Voters in Corangamite will have nine candidates to choose from – Stephen Juhasz (Australian Federation Party), Alex Marshall (Greens), Libby Coker (Labor), Meg Watkins (Animal Justice Party), Stephanie Asher (Liberal), Paul Barker (Liberal Democratic Party), Luke Sorensen (One Nation), Daniel Abou-Zeid (United Australia Party) and Jean-Marie D’Argent (Derryn Hinch’s Justice Party). There has been less interest in the race to win the seat of Corio, which covers most of Geelong’s suburbs, except for the southern

growth corridor, as well as the northern regional parts of the City of Greater Geelong. The seat has been held by the Labor Party since 1967, with deputy opposition leader Richard Marles holding the seat since 2007. The seat is one of Labor’s safest, with Mr Marles being re-elected in 2019 with a 10.3 per cent margin in the two-party preferred vote. Corio voters will also have nine options on the ballot – Sue Bull (Socialist Alliance), Jessica Taylor (Australian Federation Party), Manish Patel (Liberal), Simon Northeast (Greens), Robert Jones (One Nation), Naomi Adams (Animal Justice Party), Max Payne (Liberal Democratic Party), Shane Murdock (United Australia Party) and Richard Marles (Labor).

On paper, Keeping Faith revolves around a mother and lawyer in the Welsh countryside. It sounds run of the mill, until you watch it. Beginning with a thrilling first season as Faith (Eve Myles, pictured) tried to find out where her missing husband had gone, it quickly became apparent that this was a series unafraid to go full throttle. Packed with ambivalence, secrets, moody landscapes and a histrionic soundtrack, it’s back with its third and final season. Eighteen months have passed and Faith is busy juggling motherhood and the biggest case of her career, only to have her idyll threatened by the return of someone from her past – her estranged mother, Rose (Celia Imrie).

You’re kidding if you think this excessive American confection, starring Peter Krause (pictured) and Jennifer Love Hewitt, following the nine-to-five of emergency first responders isn’t really a show about superheroes; they are dressed in ordinary paramedic and fire services gear, but don’t let that fool you. These folks can take on anything, from a newborn stuck inside a plumbing pipe, a boa constrictor choking a woman, an airbus plane crashing in water, and a roller-coaster packed with people stuck upside down. You name it, they’ve been there – and lived to tell the tale. This double episode kicks off with the team rescuing a diver who panicked in a shark cage.

If there’s anyone who makes cooking look like a cinch, it’s Silvia Colloca (pictured) – if only we could all look as fetching and joyous while we kneaded mouth-watering bread and simmered a rich ragu. The former opera singer and actress is not a trained chef, but the Italian expat is arguably more at home in the kitchen than Gordon Ramsay and Heston Blumenthal combined – she’s effortless. This week, Colloca gets into the spirit of Ferragosto, a mid-summer holiday ritual across Italy where families gather to eat delicious food. Featuring a sumptuous three-course feast with seafood and affogato, it’s the sort of public holiday we all need.

Is your heel being a pain? Foot pain is very common, affecting more than 80 per cent of people at some point in their lives, with heel pain being the most common of all human foot complaints. Despite their frequency, these conditions are often mismanaged and incorrectly treated. This leaves many sufferers spending time and money on treatments without long-term solutions or relief. But why are such common problems seemingly so hard to treat effectively? Dr David Kavanagh, one of Australia’s leading foot, knee and leg pain specialists at Leg Pain Clinics in Geelong, explains. “For example, most heel pain is incorrectly assumed to be an inflammatory condition when it is nearly always a result of nerve impingement or tissue degeneration,” Dr Kavanagh says. “Tissue thickening is often mistaken for inflammation, contributing to incorrect diagnoses and treatment. This is a big problem and may actually cause further tissue damage, making the condition worse.” If your feet, heels or knees are giving you pain, Dr Kavanagh consults at Geelong, and right now is offering $50 off the initial consultation. Foot and Leg Pain Clinics have branches all around Victoria from Geelong, Mernda and Berwick to inner Melbourne suburbs such as Williamstown, Brighton and Doncaster East. To book your appointment, phone Foot and Leg Pain Clinics on 1300 328 300.

ENTERTAINMENT

Vendettas to rock Chook Shop By Justin Flynn Melbourne rock band The Vendettas will launch their new single at an iconic Ocean Grove live-music venue on Saturday, May 21. The band will play at the Piping Hot Chicken and Burger Grill and launch ‘6FT Under’ at the same time and lead singer Steve Redden can’t wait to head to Chicken Shop again. “We played there last year and it was awesome actually,” he says. “We still talk about it being one of the best nights. It’s an awesome little venue. I’d come down every month if I could.

“Some people rocked up early last time while we were doing sound check. Usually that’s when people say ‘can you make a bit less noisy’ but they gave us a standing ovation for our sound check. I’ve told so many bands to go check it out.” The single is the first the band has recorded by themselves. “We bought some new mikes and got the kit all miked up and gave it a crack,” Redden says. “Over the last two years we wrote about 50 songs together. This song was one of the first songs we did. We have a whole back catalogue of songs.

“We recorded quite some time ago but we did two albums before that and put them out independently.” The band’s latest album - ‘The Vendettas III’ was released in 2021 via Golden Robot Records. For now, the band is happy to be back playing live after a successful gig in Fitzroy last weekend. Redden says people are slowly starting to embrace live music after multiple lockdowns although there is still some hesitation to plan in advance. “There’s definitely a slight hesitancy in buying tickets because anything can happen right up until the final hour,” he says.

“Once we get through winter, by next summer, hopefully the government helps us out and puts on more festivals and funding for more gigs. While The Vendettas are known as a rock band, Redden says the members have mellowed, but can still ramp it up when they need to. “When we started off we were pretty much punk rock than what we are now,” he says. “But we’ve really harnessed songwriting over the last five years. It’s about being able to hear the clarity. Less is more. We can go hard if required but it’s about getting that connection with the audience.”

Crowded House revisits Crowded House have announced its tour dates after being forced to postpone its Geelong show last month. The band was due to play a Day on the Green show at Mt Duneed Estate on Saturday, April 23, supported by Angus and Julia Stone and The Waifs, but was forced to cancel less than a week out when front man Neil Finn tested positive for COVID-19. The band this week announced the Mt Duneed Estate show would be rescheduled for Saturday, November 19. “We are very pleased to announce rescheduled shows in Australia for the ones we lost through COVID in April,” the band said. “We play in the beautiful Kings Park Perth, Geelong, Hobart and Hunter Valley and will be thrilled to see you good people who bought tickets the first time. Should these new dates not be possible for some of you to attend we hope the process of refunds is straightforward

and look forward to seeing you next time. “The show must go on.” Angus and Julia Stone and The Waifs will remain as the supporting acts. People who had already bought tickets for the April show will not need to exchange them, while refunds will be available from point of purchase for those who are unable to attend the rescheduled dates.The rescheduled show will be the first in the region for Crowded House’s new line up, which was unveiled last year. The band now features founding members Neil Finn and Nick Seymour, along with producer and keyboardist Mitchell Froom, guitarist and singer Liam Finn and drummer Elroy Finn. Geelong will be the second last stop on the band’s Australian Dreamers Are Waiting tour. The band will tour Europe and the United States between June and October before returning for the rescheduled show. Ash Bolt

I usually work in the foyer and region who deserved recognition. “The city has hundreds of volunteers greet people and answer any questions they might have.

Giving back to the kids

A passion for helping For Craig Werner, volunteering is a great way to keep himself busy. Not one for technology, Craig took up volunteering after moving to Lara from Ballarat five years ago. “It keeps me busy and I like to do stuff with my hands,” he said. “Don’t give me pen and paper or a computer, because they’re not for me, I like doing things and helping people. “That’s what I get enjoyment from.” After his move, Craig connected with the Lara Lions Club. “My volunteer work at the Lions Club gives me another home, and again I feel valued that I can contribute in some small way,” he said. One of his favourite ways to help the community is through the club’s graffiti removal program. To maintain Lara’s tody town image, whenever graffiti is reported across the town, volunteers like Craig are called in to clean it off.

“I’ll get a call sometimes that there’s graffiti at the Sportsman’s Club, and so I’ll go around and get rid of it,” he said. “If you look around Lara, you won’t see too much graffiti anymore.” Along with that, Craig has also become the “volunteer caretaker” at the Lakeside Lara over-55 village. Craig often collects food items donated to the village and bags it up before delivering it to the residents to ensure no one misses out, along with always being willing to lend a hand where needed. Craig was recently awarded the village’s most valuable community member award in recognition of his volunteer work. ““Craig is just a selfless, kind soul who really goes out of his way to help the whole community,” village manager Cath Stahl said. “The work he does for the Lions Club is just outstanding and a testament to his character. Craig is a very humble man which is why we put him forward for recognition – he truly deserves it.”

Ray Murray is the kind of person who would do anything to help support children living with cancer. The Geelong man has been recognised by children’s cancer charity Camp Quality for his seven years of volunteer service, receiving the Gillard Award during National Volunteer Week. Camp Quality events co-ordinator Rach Gibbeson was one of Ray’s nominators for the state award and said he had given a significant amount of time to fundraising. “With Ray, everything is for the kids, if you ever have a conversation with him, he will tell you just that – and ‘for the kids’ is his driving motivation to do what he does and he does it all without complaint and with a smile on his face,” she said. “It is not uncommon for Ray to drive two hours out of his way to pick up the needed equipment for a fundraiser or collect supplies for a barbecue, as well as planning team trips all out of his own pocket.” Ray said he got involved in volunteering for Camp Quality through a friend, Graeme MacMahon. “Graeme is the main fundraiser in the region and my mum and I always used to donate to him,” he said. “When my mum passed away, I said I’d help him – because he was also running a business and I was retired – and it’s snowballed from there. “Nowadays I do all the footwork to organise fundraisers for the kids, whether that’s sausage sizzles, disco bingo nights, trivia nights.” Ray is also a long-time esCarpade participant, travelling across the country in specially decorated cars to raise money. “We only did one about a month back that went from Albury … to Coffs Harbour, where our Victorian group raised $82,000,” he said. “It’s a lot of work, but I enjoy it. I wanted to do one esCarpade, but now I’ve done four.”

Along with the fundraising, Ray and his fellow esCarpadians also do what they can to help out with Camp Quality camps. Recently the group of 13 drove to Bendigo in their bash cars, put on a full luncheon and organised activities and gifts for the kids and their families. “The parents were amazed that we did that … but I was rapt to be able to put a smile on their faces,” he said. “Especially with these kids who are only young and starting out life to having to go through having cancer, it’s not fair. “I’d give them the shirt off my back if it would help. “I really enjoy what I do and now that I’m retired I have the time to do it.” Friday, 20 May, 2022 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 19

MOTOR

Haval drives into electric future By Alistair Kennedy, Marque Motoring Chinese manufacturer, Great Wall Motors, has joined the electrification movement with the release of a petrol/ electric hybrid version of its Haval H6 mid-sized SUV. It comes to Australia in a single variant based on the top-spec petrol Ultra model with a high level of safety equipment and technology, priced very-competitively at $44,990 driveaway.

Styling The H6 Hybrid has a distinctly different frontal styling than the other models in the range and, to our eyes at least, it makes a significant difference. Two body-coloured side panels extend the grille to the edge of the vehicle smoothing out the boxiness of the other models. There are twin rectangular LED headlights wrapping around the front with LED daytime running lights and LED foglights below the grille. The rear features a large lighting panel which spans the entire width of the vehicle. Twin brake lights sit at the top of the rear hatch window. Given that it’s still a relatively new brand, rather than using a badge that most people wouldn’t recognize the designers have placed the H-A-V-A-L name in large, bold letters at the front and rear. Being based on the H6 Ultra spec, the Hybrid gets 19-inch alloy wheels as well as a panoramic sunroof. There are seven exterior colour choices, Hamilton White is standard, the other six are $495 options.

Interior It’s hard to fault anything inside the H6 Hybrid Ultra with a nice feeling of quality

The H6 Hybrid is Haval’s best offering yet.

throughout. There’s plenty of space all around, the Comfortek front leather seats are heated and ventilated with the driver having an 8-way power adjustment, heated leather steering wheel and a head-up display. There’s good storage space with adjustable twin drink holders and a large storage bin in the centre console. There’s dual-zone air conditioning which, together with a flat rear floor, good foot, leg and headroom, and the panoramic sunroof make for a pleasant environment for rear passengers. There’s a centre armrest with two cupholders and air vents.

At the back there’s a powered tailgate which opens out to a 600-litre boot, expandable to 1485 litres with the rear seatbacks folded. The batteries are located beneath the false floor taking up the space where a spare wheel would otherwise be stores leaving a puncture repair kit as the only option.

satellite navigation so access needs to be made through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto (both wired) or direct from the smartphone via Bluetooth. There is a wireless smartphone charging on the front console. There are five USB ports, three in the front and two at the rear.

Powertrain

Driving

The quest for lower fuel consumption isn’t just limited to the benefits of the battery-powered motor. Unlike the naturally-aspirated petrol engines in the rest of the H6 range, the Hybrid combines a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine and a two-speed 130 kW electric drive motor. The engine has outputs of 110 kW and 230 Nm while the battery adds 130 kW and 300 Nm to provide a combined total of 179 kW and 530 Nm. The two systems work together smoothly with the battery providing instant torque at take-off and the turbocharger kicking in at higher revs. While the petrol-only H6 Ultra comes with all-wheel drive the hybrid version is driven through the front wheels. Power is sent to the front wheels through GWM’s two-speed Dedicated Hybrid Transmission electronically controlled transmission with two separate DVTs that work together.

Haval H6 is at the larger end of its segment and entry is quite easy. While the seats are adjustable in most directions the base can’t be tilted and we found them a little uncomfortable. Take-off is by battery only with the instant acceleration that we love. The engine kicks in around 30 km/h and fluctuates between the two modes for optimum efficiency. The combination of the smaller turbo engine and battery means that the H6 Hybrid cruises quietly. Brake regeneration can be adjusted and monitored on the driver’s display. Out in the rural segment of our teat route the H6 Hybrid provides a surprisingly enjoyable drive with plenty of punch when needed. The ride was a bit spongy at times and handling was typical of most SUVs. Fuel consumption is listed at 5.2 litres per 100km, we average just under 6.0 L/100 km during our test. H6 Hybrid only comes with front wheel-drive and there’s a modest 170 mm ground clearance. So not suited to any serious off-road ventures.

Strictly following all Government directives to ensure we can safely provide essential services to our Customers

The Haval H6 Hybrid comes with an impressive suite of safety features that have contributed to it getting the maximum 5-Star ANCAP rating. There are seven airbags; enhanced ABS brakes with brake assist, cornering brake control and brake override; roll movement intervention; hill descent and hill-start control; front and rear parking assist; high resolution rear view and 360-degree cameras; automatic parking; adaptive cruise control with stop and go; intelligent cornering control; rear cross traffic alert and braking; forward collision warning and secondary collision mitigation; lane departure warning and correction; autonomous emergency braking including pedestrian, bicycle & crossroads; traffic sign recognition; blind spot detection; rear collision warning; driver drowsiness detection; and two IsoFix child seat anchors.

Summing up Haval and GWM have come a long way in recent years and, in our opinion, the H6 Hybrid is their best vehicle yet. It has a premium feel that hasn’t been there before and it could easily be mistaken for one of its big-selling, and more expensive, Japanese or Korean rivals. It’s an attractive vehicle and, at just under $45k driveaway, offers excellent value. As with all Havals the H6 Hybrid comes with a seven-year / unlimited kilometre warranty. Stock availability is currently playing an important part in buyer decisions with delays of up to a year not unusual. Haval tells us that you could get into a new H6 Hybrid within three months.

Infotainment

MODEL RANGE

Access is through two large colour displays, a centrally-mounted 12.3-inch touchscreen for the infotainment features and a 10.25-inch instrument cluster behind the steering wheel for driving data. The absence of raised physical controls for the most commonly-used features such as audio system and air conditioning meaning a series of taps on the screen for adjusting sound. However, it can be adjusted through controls on the steering wheel. As is the growing trend, there is no embedded

SPORT

Rohan to return for Cats at home By Ash Bolt Geelong is set to be boosted by the return of forward Gary Rohan for its important clash against Port Adelaide this weekend. Rohan hasn’t since last year’s preliminary final loss after a sciatica issue in his back and hip limited his ability to train over the off-season. He made his return through the VFL earlier this month and coach Chris Scott said he was confident Rohan would line-up against the Power on Saturday. “We want to see how he goes over the next few days but he doesn’t need to do anything special over the next few days to be available,” Scott said. “The plan, given that there was a VFL bye last week was to have him ready to play last week, knowing that there was a bit of a buffer there. “He did a training load that was in excess of his game load the previous couple of weeks, which if he pulled up well from, had him available this week. “So, [I’m] pretty sure he’s going to play.” Scott said it was also likely Jed Bews and Rhys Stanley would be declared fit to play.

Bews missed last week’s 10-point loss to St Kilda after suffering concussion when he was elbowed in the head the week before against Greater Western Sydney. Under the AFL’s new concussion protocols, players who suffer concussion are unable to play for a minimum 12-day period. “He is [on track to play on the weekend],” Scott said. “There have certainly been no hiccups in his rehab so again, [I could] touch a little bit on the concussion incidents and talk about the spectrum that exists and all those things but it’s just not valuable. “He’s in the protocol and they tell me he’ll be available.” Stanley was also in doubt after injuring his ankle against the Saints. “I think it’s likely that he’ll have a light week and then be available to play,” Scott said. “That’s the advice that I’ve been given. His ankle injury wasn’t serious. “He missed a week, was available to play, and then just jagged it in the first five minutes, but was able to come back and play the game out. “We haven’t had the complete prognosis

given to us yet but put it this way, by this stage of the week, if it’s clear that he wouldn’t be playing we would know and we haven’t got that information.” Scott said he was expecting a tough game at GMHBA Stadium, with the Power on a four-game winning streak after losing its first five games. “I suspect without completely knowing that they are playing more like the way they wanted to,” Scott said. “I don’t think it’s been a deliberate change necessarily in the way they’ve been trying to play – they’ve just been able to execute it better. “I think we’ve seen right across the competition that a few key players out make a difference and those guys coming back also has a positive influence. “They seem to be back to the way they were last year – that’s a pretty superficial assessment, but [they’re] certainly going a lot better.” While they won’t be on GMHBA Stadium this weekend, draftees Toby Conway and Flynn Kroeger will get their first taste of professional football this weekend against Northern Bullants in the VFL.

Bensted’s Comm Games call-up Geelong judoka Jake Bensted is hoping to above and beyond his bronze medal when he gets his second chance to compete at the Commonwealth Games later this year. On Wednesday, Bensted was announced as one of 12 judokas picked to represent Australia at the Games in Birmingham in July and August. The selection makes Bensted, along with teammate Katharina Haecker, the first Australian judoka to be selected for multiple Commonwealth Games. He previously competed at the 2014 Games in Glasgow as a 20-year-old, where he won a bronze medal. The sport wasn’t included in the 2018 Games on the Gold Coast. Bensted said it was exciting to get another chance to compete at the highest level, after also representing Australia at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “It’s a very exciting opportunity to be picked to compete in Birmingham,” he said. “I had the opportunity to go to the Commonwealth Games in 2014 when I was quite young and at the start of my judo career, now I’m in the twilight of my career and I’ve learned a lot since then. “I thinking having been there and knowing what to expect, as well as having gone to the Olympics in 2016, gives me more confidence in my ability to go above the bronze medal I won in 2014.” While the COVID-19 pandemic has meant the lead into the Games hasn’t been ideal, Bensted said his form was “coming back”. “It’s been tough, because I haven’t been able to compete a lot in the past year or so,” he said. “We were only able to start competing when the international borders reopened really, so that was November.” His selection in the team was based off results in tournaments in Europe, as well as locally, which included a win at the Melbourne International Open in March. With just over two months until the opening ceremony, Bensted said he hoped to get a few more tournaments under his belt before the Games. “We’ve got the National Championships coming up in about three weeks on the Gold Coast,” he said. “Then I’m off to Europe with the team for a training camp and maybe I’ll get a tournament or two in before we head over to Birmingham.” The sport is a family affair for Bensted, who was introduced to it by his father and uncle. “My dad and uncle were freestyle wrestlers and they wanted us to take up a sport,” he said.

“There were no freestyle wrestling clubs in Geelong but there was a judo club, so we joined and I’ve stayed with it since. “I love the highs and lows of judo – there’s time where you can have really good days and then there’s times where you’ll lose your first fight at a tournament and you feel really down. “But I’ve had some of the best experiences of my life on the mat and I love it.” Joining Bensted in Australia’s judo team will be Haecker, Aofie Coughlan, Tinka Easton, Abigail Paduch, Harrison Cassar, brothers Josh and Nathan Katz, Uros Nikolic, Kayhan Ozcicek-Takagi, Liam Park and

The Cats’ medical team has taken a conservative approach with the duo, who have both been managing hip injuries, since they were drafted in last year’s AFL draft. Conway was selected at pick 24 and has been earmarked as the Cats’ ruckman of the future while Kroeger is an explosive midfielder taken with selection 48. “Toby and Flynn will play managed minutes in the VFL against the Northern Bullants this weekend,” Geelong head of medical and conditioning services Harry Taylor said. “This is an exciting step forward for Toby and Flynn in their reconditioning programs, and it will be great to get a look at our new draftees.” In other good news for Geelong’s ruck stocks, off-season recruit Jonathon Ceglar is back training with the main group, while Esava Ratugolea is already recovering from ankle surgery during the week. “Esava had surgery on his ankle last Monday. He will now follow a graduated return to train program,” Taylor said. “Esava is an integral member of our team and we look forward to seeing him back out in the number 17 jumper soon.”

Sebastian Temesi. Judo Australia chief executive Emma Taylor said the team would compete with pride and passion in Birmingham. “Congratulations to our judo athletes selected to represent Australia at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games,” Taylor said. “These athletes embody the values of our sport and they carry the Australian flag with pride. “Their commitment to the sport, their clubs and coaches is recognised in this selection and we know they will make us proud.”

Six Geelong Falcons junior footballers will have the chance to show off their skills and athleticism for recruiters, after being picked among 106 players invited to the 2022 AFLW draft combine. Falcons teammates Analea McKee, Ash Van Loon, Charlotte Simpson, Liz Dowling, Grace Purcell and Mia Van Dyk have been picked among a 57-strong contingent that will test at the Victorian state combine. A date and location for the combine has yet to be finalised. McKee, who plays club football for Geelong Amateurs, and Dowling, who plays for St Mary’s, are two of 28 open-age players selected for the combine, while the remaining four will be eligible for the AFLW draft for the first time this year. The 2022 AFLW draft combine will feature just one physical test, with all players to complete a two-kilometre time trial. The reduction in testing at this year’s combine takes into consideration changes to AFLW timelines, along with the significant amount of pre-season testing that was conducted nationally earlier this year. AFL talent ambassador Kevin Sheehan said players invited to the combine represented the next crop of potential AFLW stars. “We are very excited about the high level of talent within this group of future stars of the AFLW,” Sheehan said. “The 2022 version of the NAB AFLW Draft Combine will be shorter than those held in previous years, however the on-field performance of this group of players over the past season has provided a great indication that they will have a huge impact on the NAB AFLW competition.” Several of the Geelong representatives come into the combine with strong reputations, following the NAB League season this year. Dowling, a 171cm utility, was selected on the bench for the NAB League Girls team of the year, following a season where she averaged almost 17 disposals per game and kicked 14 goals. Ash Bolt

Race on for tennis finals LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers It was the last round of the home and away series for Tuesday’s midweek pennants for the majority of sections. In Section 4, finals positions were still up for grabs, with even Point Lonsdale in seventh a chance to stay in the running, only four points behind fourth-placed Mount Moriac. Surfcoast Torquay Yellow set itself up well going into the last round, guaranteeing itself the minor premiership despite having the bye, so it was able to sit back and watch the remaining teams battle it out. Yellow’s counterparts, Torquay Black, sitting in second with only a mathematical chance of dropping out of that spot, came up against fifth placed Eastern Districts, which was hoping for a good win to push itself into the four. The match started with Melissa Coulsell and Winsome Batchelor winning through for Black 6-3, while Districts kept its run alive with Shelley Gioffre and Kylie Cameron taking the second set 6-1. Gioffre continued her winning way teaming with Delwyn Foster in the third set, taking it

6-2, but Black countered in the fourth with Batchelor winning her second set with Kelly Powell, 6-4. Districts was hoping for a strong finish in the final two sets to close the gap to fourth-placed Mount Moriac, but with the sets going one each way, and Districts finishing with a win at three sets all with a four game advantage, it

was reliant on the results of other matches to determine its fate. Point Lonsdale looked like it was primed to make a run for a finals finish, coming up against third-placed Ocean Grove this week, however, with a player short this chance was dashed. Despite this, the Lonny ladies won two of the three sets played and had a narrow defeat in the third with the Grove’s Clare Stephenson and Jacqueline Moore taking the win in a tie break. The final match of the day was Mount Moriac against sixth placed Barwon Heads. With only 4.5 points between them, the Heads were presented with a great chance to move themselves up the ladder, however, Mount Moriac had other ideas. Kerry Pickering and Denise Matthews battled for the first set 6-4, while Jenyce Hosking and Julie Robertson had a comfortable 6-0 win in the second, ensuring Mount Moriac retained fourth spot, and a match up against Ocean Grove next week. The team then showed it is finding some good form, taking the remaining four sets to end with a clean sweep for the day.

Plenty of pinky snapper in the harbour ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos The inner harbour of Corio Bay yet again provided some great fishing for land based anglers or those in boats trying to escape the hairy weather this week. Pinky Snapper have been in fantastic numbers with anglers finding great numbers of fish spread right across the region with plenty of quality in the size too. Casting soft plastics around structure has been super effective with Berkley Gulp seven-inch turtleback worms proving a standout as it gets past the small picker fish that are hanging around. Australian salmon, silver trevally and flathead have also made up for amusing and welcomed by-catch at the moment. Yet again the turtleback worms are a standout, more so in the four-inch size. King George whiting are still going ballistic in the outer harbour with lots of reports coming through of boats finding huge numbers of fish and at a quality size too. Once again fishing the tides has been the best time to fish, however they seem to be biting just about all day. Freshly caught calamari has been a pretty tough bait to beat of late and of course the humble pipi always accounting for a good majority of captures. Offshore Barwon Heads remains very productive for gummy sharks and large numbers of pinky snapper. The pinkies have been holding in large numbers inside the foul grounds off Torquay in around 40 metres of water and the gummies have mainly been cruising the 30 metre line. Fresh baits such as squid and salmon are always a standout and also silver whiting has been working very well. Fishing either side of a tide is the prime time to fish, especially for the gummies. Down the west coast the bluefin tuna are still in fantastic numbers and Portland is on fire. There are lots of reports coming through of boats getting amongst large numbers of tuna off Cape Bridgewater, anywhere from 30-50 metres of water. Trolling small skirted lures and diving hardbodies has been the preferred method and choice of lures. Barrel tuna reports have seemed to slow down a little bit but there are still captures being reported nearly daily right along the coast. It’s just a matter of time until they bite hard again.

Pair of state titles for father and son Victoria’s best stand-up paddleboarders converged on the region at the weekend, to battle for the crown at the 2022 Victorian SUP Surfing Titles. After moving the competition from Point Impossible to Thirteenth Beach for the final on Sunday, the competitors were greeted with a perfect two-foot swell and an offshore breeze, allowing for some fierce competition. Throughout the morning Jan Juc’s local goofy-footer Matt Takle was on a tear, utilising the waves on offer as well as his whole board by walking up to the nose to style his way to multiple high scores. As the tide sucked out throughout the day the waves became disjointed making it tricky for competitors to get good waves, however 26 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 20 May, 2022

there were still some gems on offer. Takle was able to find his way onto a couple of epic waves in the open men’s final and continued to use his impressive style to take the win with a 12.87 combined heat total (out of a possible 20) over Torquay’s Rick Pettifer with a 10.40 combined total. Chris Clarke and fellow Torquay stand-up paddleboarder, Mark Robbins, finished third and fourth respectively. “It was a great day of competition with everyone scoring in fun conditions,” Takle said. “I was happy to get onto some good waves that I could rip into.” In the over-50 men’s division Matt’s father, John Takle, went all the way to take out the final over Allan McKellar, who placed second, with

Brendan Ryan coming in third and Michael Jenkins in fourth. Taking out the open women’s final was another Jan Juc local, Emma Webb, who showed her dominance on the day by taking out the open women 10ft division as well. In open women’s final Webb surfed at a consistently high standard, scoring two seven-plus point rides for a combined heat total of 14.53. The champions of other divisions included Torquay’s Rick Pettifer in the over-40 men, Xanthe Rivett in the master women, Damien Quinlan in the over-60 men and Michael Jenkins in the over-50 10ft.
