Perhaps you want to go see a film like Higher Ground or more recently The Drover’s Wife,” Ms Wandin said. Wurundjeri man Darren Wandin conducted the smoking ceremony at Oonah Meeting Place Garden, explaining the two key elements – an invitation and medicine. “Without our ancestors we wouldn’t be here where we are today and it’s their journey that put us where we are today and I want us to take a chance to reflect on that and appreciate that
journey that’s happened and respect that as we move forward in our lives.” Mayor Jim Child said he believes it’s the most valuable tool to have at the moment for the reconciliation journey because we can all take part in it. “The event today will provide insights into how we can all embrace the ancient wisdom of our land – look at our future and ignite a shared responsibility.. our country, our future, our shared responsibility,” Cr Jim Child said.

Art to return to Country By Mikayla van Loon Wurundjeri elders and descendents of William Barak are rejoicing after hearing the news that two of his artworks will be returning to Country after successful bids at a New York auction. The rare artworks known as Corroboree (Women in possum skin cloaks) and Parrying Shield were made by the Aboriginal leader in 1897. Sotheby’s, a New York auction house, put the works up for bidding on Wednesday 25 May at 4pm New York time. Great, great, great niece of Barak, Jacqui Wandin said she was anxious waiting to hear the results of the auction having missed the part where Barak’s works were live streamed. “There was that feeling of who bought it? Where is it? Almost like your family or a child. You want to know where it is and if it is safe. So that was a little bit of an anxious time, “I then called my dad Alan Wandin and then he said, ‘Yep, it’s been bought by Wurundjeri’. So everyone’s just over the moon. We could not be any more happy.” Having crowdfunded $120,000 via the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation GoFundMe page, it wasn’t enough to secure the works. The Victorian government has announced it was proud to support the Wurundjeri Corporation in its effort by contributing $500,000, making the bidding a success. “The Labor Government is proud to support the successful bid to bring artworks which are invaluable to the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung People – back to their rightful home and owners,” Creative Industries minister Danny Pearson said. “William Barak has had a profound impact on Victoria’s cultural heritage, with his contribution as an ambassador and advocate for his people continuing to have an impact today.” Aboriginal Affairs minister Gabrielle Williams said these works will be returning to where they rightfully belong. “We congratulate the Wurundjeri on their success in fighting for and securing this important piece of history, which is invaluable to the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung People, and to the broader Victorian public,” she said. With over 1000 people contributing to the fundraising efforts, as well as the government support, Jacqui said it was important to recognise that there were a lot of “players involved in getting these beautiful artworks back.” “We can’t thank people enough for stepping up and saying ‘this was the right thing to do. It’s now time. We need to celebrate William Barak more’,” she said. Jacqui said these artworks speak of the time in Barak’s life in the 1880s and 1890s when his wife and son had already passed but he was focused on sharing and passing on the history to his descendants. “He made sure he did these paintings to depict what was actually going on in Country,” she said. “He did this work for our survival, because at that stage a lot of people would have died out and Barak died in 1903, he was about 85
The Parrying Shield shows particular markings known to be used by Barak. Picture: SOTHEBY’S NEW YORK years old. So that was his way of capturing anything that he thought that would be lost. “We were told that we couldn’t speak our language, we couldn’t do our hunting, we couldn’t use traditional medicines or anything like that. He was just trying to give the information to us knowing that it may not have survived.” Barak’s artworks formed a collection, telling the history of Wurundjeri using Earth pigments and charcoal mostly seen throughout many of the works placed at the National Gallery in Victoria. The shield itself represents Aboriginal lore and custom, particularly when someone entered Country. “When someone would come onto Country and they realised they were all great persons, they would break their spears and then that couldn’t be used on them and that was a sign of friendship. The way I see the shields is they are a part of ceremony as well.” Jacqui said with the artworks returning to Wurundjeri, where she expects they will join Barak’s other works at the National Gallery, she said it is time for people to learn about the man and the leader. “When I first started reading about Barak, I just remember thinking, ‘Oh, my God, my uncle’s an amazing, honourable man and it’s a really proud day today. “I think everything’s aligning at the moment and I think Barak’s really trying to tell his story. He’s trying to reawaken everyone. We always say before we came back onto Coranderrk in 2000, the place had just been sleeping. “[We need] to keep Barak’s dream alive and it’s not just the Wurundjeri people, it’s everyone in Melbourne who really needs to find out more about Barak. He was a wonderful man in all different ways and he did everything in a peaceful way.”

IN BRIEF Yarra Junction crash
Surprising result from senate votes
Emergency services responded to a two-vehicle collision near the intersection of Station St and Warburton Highway in Yarra Junction at around 6pm on Thursday 26 May. With initial concerns that a passenger was trapped, two CFA vehicles responded, along with SES, Victoria Police and Ambulance Victoria personnel. “Upon arrival, crews discovered there were nil persons trapped,” said a CFA spokesperson “A stop was called on the incident at 6.19pm.” Ambulance Victoria confirmed a woman was taken to Angliss Public Hospital in a stable condition with minor injuries.

Elissa Smith is the Victorian senate candidate for the Legalise Cannabis Australia, who is in with an outside shot to win Victoria’s final senate seat. Picture: SUPPLIED we’ve got, but we need to follow that on and we need to build on that for the state campaign,” she said. “We will be doing events in the lead up to get people to understand what our policies are and why we want these changes to come through to the state election as well.” The party is running on policies including cannabis being treated the same as alcohol or tobacco, an immediate moratorium on all arrests for cannabis consumers, allowing people to grow their own plants and road laws to be amended to allow unimpaired medicinal users to drive with cannabis in their system, which has already been adopted in Tasmania. Ms Smith said the major parties embracing the legalisation of cannabis in Australia would
be life-changing for many people. “We’ve got doctors and nurses that are out there using cannabis to stay in their job, but they’re terrified they’re going to lose it,” she said. “People that have done so much in supporting people with cancer and epilepsy, I personally have Tourette syndrome and when you talk to someone who has Tourette syndrome or epilepsy, who has to fight their body being out of control 99 per cent of the day, it’s a different perception.” The party saw an increase of +1.41 per cent in Victoria and +3.44 per cent in Queensland during the federal election and will be hoping this will translate to a strong showing in the November state election.

was likened to that of “sour milk with earthy characteristics”, was “unreasonable” and strong enough to cause “discomfort” in the surrounding community. “After a VCAT challenge to our original notice issued in May 2021, we issued an amended notice in October, but when EPA officers arrived in December to check on compliance, the odour on St Huberts Road was strong enough to cause discomfort when facing into the wind,” Mr Settle said.

“The company had complied with some of EPA’s requirements, but not all, and the odour was still there,” he said. EPA found Yarra Valley Dairy failed to make the necessary improvements to its wastewater treatment in order to prevent the smell from impacting neighbouring properties. The company was fined $9,087 for contravening a section of the Environment Protection Act.

The Victorian Government has announced a trial that will provide bus passengers using wheelchairs and other mobility devices with a safer, more accessible journey with the roll-out of wheelchair restraints across a select number of metropolitan bus services. The wheelchair containment systems are part of a $157.8 million package of accessibility and safety works included in the Victorian Budget 2022/23, giving Victorians better access to public transport. Using 3D modelling as well as real-world testing, investigations captured the experiences of mobility device users on buses across a range of routes. Varying driving conditions were also tested to include all scenarios such as unexpected harsh braking and sharp corners. It was shown these systems reduce the risk of mobility devices sliding and tipping, improving safety and stability for passengers.

RACV is encouraging Victorians to take the necessary precautions to ensure their safety at home and on the road ahead of winter. According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, there were more than 150 severe weather events in Victoria in 2021, including extreme winds, rain, hail and flooding. The 2021 storm event in the Yarra Ranges was one such event, with residents still recovering. Australia is currently in the midst of a La Niña weather phase, meaning the odds of above-average winter rainfall will increase again in 2022. RACV General Manager Home Portfolio, Darren Turner, said being prepared for severe weather events at home can save owners time, money and prevent the risk of serious injury. “It’s important to tend to any maintenance required around the home – particularly cleaning out gutters – and check that loose items such as outdoor settings, umbrellas and trampolines are secured undercover and away from trees.

With a surprising federal election result bringing Legalise Cannabis Australia within touching distance of a federal Senate seat, the party is now eyeing the Victorian state election as an opportunity to consolidate their new-found support. Currently, Legalise Cannabis Australia is still an outside chance of taking the final senate seat in Queensland and Victoria against Pauline Hanson’s One Nation and United Australia Party or the Liberal Party respectively. Victorian Senate candidate Elissa Smith — who grew up in Upwey and was a swimming instructor at Monbulk Aquatic Centre for eight years — said despite having a skeleton crew and a small budget at the beginning of the election, the result has been exciting for the party. “They haven’t even looked at the preferences yet. We know from the volunteers that we had out there, quite a few people mentioned that they supported us but they put us second,” she said. “Depending on how big the swing for minor parties was, in Victoria we’re still sitting on a sixth undecided seat.” It’s the first time the party has run in an election since renaming from the HEMP Party in December 2021, after it was founded in 1993. The party is currently behind the UAP by 1.1 per cent with 71.7 per cent of votes counted at time of printing. It has received 86,222 first preference votes for the senate in Victoria, equating to 2.9 per cent of the vote. A potential Queensland senate seat win was also on the cards, as the party threatens to take the final senate seat off One Nation leader Pauline Hanson with 5.2 per cent of the first preference vote. Ms Smith, who is number one on the Victorian Senate ticket, said the result boded well for the state election in November where micro-parties often win seats. “We’re so excited about the response that

NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK
Path forward for healing By Renee Wood The community has come together to acknowledge and mark the start of National Reconciliation Week, on National Sorry Day Thursday 26 May by joining a live streamed event arranged by Yarra Ranges Council and supported by Oonah Belonging Place. ‘Our Country, Our Future, Our Shared Responsibility’ was the key motto of the event and shared how both indigenous and nonindigenous people can come together to take action for reconciliation, which supports healing for all. Wurundjeri woman Chenile Chandler began the day with a call to country performance, while Worimi, Biripi woman Nikki Madgwick, a Oonah Health and Community Services Aboriginal Coordinator, acknowledged country through Auslan. The proceedings included touching performances, insightful interviews and highlighted locally based initiatives that are helping to strengthen and heal country for reconciliation. Wurundjeri woman Brooke Wandin led the service with a welcome to country, sharing the importance of why we need to give respect and obey the language and land. Ms Wandin reflected on how language can be emotional and transformative, highlighting how action can be taken through the National Reconciliation Week theme. “Be brave, make change – what can that look like? It can be maybe re-writing your acknowledgement of country, it could be attending just that one extra wonderful event this week, perhaps you’re brave enough to face the truth of the missionary era. Perhaps you want to go see a film like Higher Ground or more recently The Drover’s Wife,” Ms Wandin said. Wurundjeri man Darren Wandin conducted the smoking ceremony at Oonah Meeting Place Garden, explaining the two key elements – an invitation and medicine. “The medicine I’d like to provide to you today is one that will allow you to feel comfortable in the space that you are in and essentially feel safe that you’re here to enjoy the day and to let all those worries go from all those other commitments we have in life, just be part of the day and be present,” Mr Wandin said. Mr Wandin also payed his respects to elders past and present. “Without our ancestors we wouldn’t be here where we are today and it’s their journey that put us where we are today and I want us to take a chance to reflect on that and appreciate that journey that’s happened and respect that as we move forward in our lives.” Larrikia man Ash Dargan, former member of the band Coloured Stone, was the first to perform, highlighting an important decade for reconciliation in the 1990s. The recording artist and didgeridoo player shared his own personal experience during this time when the movement of reconciliation was awakening. This was ignited by the seminal report of aboriginal deaths in custody that was released in 1991, which saw the federal government form the Council of Aboriginal Reconciliation. “It gave them a 10 year charter to forward a report and reconcile Australia’s history, that is with First Nations Australians,” Mr Dargan said. Mr Dargan was living in Queensland at the time and shared how changes to the adoption act allowed himself and many others to gain information about their families for the first time. “In these 10 years when reconciliation became a movement, it gave us a compass to moving forward to start healing – because for 1000s and 1000s stolen mob we were starting to make our way home.” Mr Dargan performed on the didgeridoo a song called ‘Many Voices’ representative of the spirit of reconciliation waking up in Australia. “That’s the spirit of the Aboriginal people whose voice until that time had not been heard in that particular way and it was getting stronger and it was saying hey shine the light here and have a look at what’s been going on let’s start to make things right so that voice of reconciliation just a seed started to grow.” The ‘Walk for Reconciliation’ in 1995 which saw thousands of people march across the country was another pivotal point for healing 4 MAIL

Another important part of the live event was sharing council’s path for reconciliation and healing by embracing the Firesticks Alliance Indigenous Corporation which aims to re-invigorate, heal and educate communities through the use of cultural burning. Mayor Jim Child said he believes it’s the most valuable tool to have at the moment for the reconciliation journey because we can all take part in it. “The event today will provide insights into how we can all embrace the ancient wisdom of our land – look at our future and ignite a shared responsibility.. our country, our future, our shared responsibility,” Cr Jim Child said. A video was shown of a previous gathering in Dixon’s Creek which included Darren Wandin, who’s been the Firestick Alliance Officer for the past twelve months. He was joined by Leeton Lee, South East Queensland Firesticks co-ordinator and Victor Steffensen, indigenous fire practitioner. Darren Wandin said the small burns aren’t

encouraged and are allowed to burn out and stop naturally. The burns are of ‘cool’ fires that produce white smoke and aren’t destructive to the soil. “With agency burns they look at a place and say we want 100 per cent coverage we want to burn the whole lot – that’s too much… It’s too much in one go so we allow the fires to spread out and do their small burns let it do its thing and that’s part of country telling us what it needs to do to make itself feel better,” Mr Wandin said. Mr Steffensen said it’s a practice that listens to country and teaches people how to read the landscape and language to know how to promote healing. “There is a language in the land and that language is coming from the country which is alive and talking to us all the time and when you see the land like this then it reflects who we are it’s a reflection of yourself,” Mr Steffensen said. “When we see the land with no food and all leaf and we see all the thickness in the country and all sick and weedy that reflects us as society as people, so the country’s always talking to us and once we get a healthy landscape our society is going to be amazing. “It’s amazing what it does for people who have problems that can help solve and the loss of identity, so this is so important for ab-
original people and it’s so important for all people.” Oonah Belonging Place played a significant role in delivering the event, which in 2022 has doubled its workforce to deliver a range of programs, services and support for a holistic model of care. It’s a space for connecting, learning and healing for ingenious and non-indigenous community to come together for reconciliation. Oonah Coordinator Nikki Madgwick was one of the MCs for the event and shared the history of Oonah which was first known as Healesville Indigenous Community Services Association (HICSA). The service is underpinned by a deep connection to aboriginal culture and has a vision to become a dedicated aboriginal community controlled health organisation in the east of Melbourne. Ms Madgwick asked for support and funding contributions to see this vision come true, to continue to heal body, spirit and culture locally. “We want to deliver high quality health care from a holistic approach addressing those gaps between non indigenous and indigenous peoples – we want to look at how we can provide healthcare services, specialists services, programs, activities and events that help to heal spirit body and connection to culture,” Ms Madgwick said. mailcommunity.com.au
NATIONAL RECONCILIATION WEEK
Coach joins discussion By Callum Ludwig Following on from Adam Goodes’ appearance in the 2021 Yarra Ranges Council National Reconciliation Week event, the man Mr Goodes praised spoke in this year’s edition. Paul Roos was Mr Goodes coach from 2002 to 2010, consisting of most of his playing career, and Mr Goodes said he was the person who gave him the most cultural safety and spiritual support. Mr Roos said the transition from semi-professionalism to full-time professionals afforded coaches like himself the time to get to know players, and that was the foundation of his relationship with Mr Goodes and other players. “If I wanted to be a really good coach and wanted to provide a safe haven and environment whether it was for Adam Goodes, Mick (Michael) O’Loughlin, Brett Kirk or Jarrad McVeigh, I really had to get to know the person,” he said. “I did Australian history in Year 12, a long time ago now, I’m 58 and that was in ‘79 or ‘80, and there was not one thing on the Indigenous culture. I couldn’t believe it as I became an older male and then coached that you could do the Goldfields at Sovereign Hill or World War One but nothing on Indigenous culture.” Mr Roos said the safer a space you can create, the more organically reconciliation and integration occurred. “That was the strength of the environment, the Indigenous players just felt safe, that they could speak up and talk about it,” he said. We had players, people in the office trans-
ferring information and players asking questions, like ‘Hey Adam, I just met your mum and she’s an artist, can you tell us a bit about her background?’, they felt empowered and comfortable with their teammates.” The Sydney Swans were famed for their ‘Bloods culture’ during this successful era in the club’s history, where they reached eight preliminary finals in 14 years, including five Grand Finals, winning two premiership flags. In 2014, former player Luke Ablett wrote in The Guardian that former captain Stuart Maxfield got the ball rolling on the ‘Bloods Culture’ in 2002 and 2003 when the club began using the ‘Leading Teams’ model to establish player-set values. Mr Roos said when you are in a culture, you are part of it and don’t really notice changes. “I would encourage everyone to ask the newest person ‘Have you created a safe space for everyone?’ and ask it honestly, if there’s a bit of a pause and a deep breath, then you know you haven’t,” he said. “It’s a really good way of defining from an inclusive point of view, ask the question. What does our culture look like? Is it safe? Do you feel comfortable talking about your background? Whether it’s from an Indigenous community on the Yarra River or the Murray or your parents have arrived from Croatia in the 1960’s.” The interview was conducted by Nelson Aldridge, Taungurung man, member of the Yarra Ranges Council Indigenous Development Team. Reconciliation will continue from Friday 17 May to Friday June 3.

Breaking job barriers By Callum Ludwig Finding a job can be hard enough at the best of times, but all-abilities opportunities can be hard to come across for disabled people in the Yarra Ranges. Campbell Page, operating out of the Upper Yarra Family Centre in Yarra Junction, are helping residents of all abilities with a free program to find a career path catered to their needs. Campbell Page Employment Consultant Kate Ludowyke said the Yarra Junction hub is a one stop shop. “We have all the services someone might need under one roof,” she said. “We work directly with a range of fantastic community partners to support our customers with housing, finances and more to provide a holistic experience that meets their needs.” The employment consultants at Campbell Page have had success finding clients jobs in childcare, driving jobs, shopping centre positions, cleaning services, support work, farm and agriculture positions and hospitality jobs. Ms Ludowyke said it’s not about finding just any job in any industry because they’re hiring. “We’re ensuring our customers find work and stay employed. We look at a whole range of factors when finding work such as their likes, dislikes, skills, qualifications and importantly their health condition,” she said. “If a person has a back injury, we’d never expect them to start a job that involves a lot of lifting, we would instead look at finding positions that don’t exacerbate their symptoms,
but still match with their goals.” Campbell Page offers a range of services to support clients with training, education, building skills and confidence, resume, and cover letter writing, preparing for interviews and more. The Health Support Services team also help tailor plans to better manage health conditions and can arrange workspace modifications and employer support. Ms Ludowyke said “unfortunately, there is still stigma that surrounds hiring people with a disability “There’s a perception from some employers that they can’t or won’t perform as well in the workplace,” she said. “This just isn’t the case and many organisations are missing out star candidates as a result.” People with disability are often fearful of the job search process due to the stigma or negative past experiences, with employers often holding unfounded concerns about a person’s capability because of their condition, or over the amount of sick leave a staff member with a disability will take. Some also have a difficult time managing the symtpoms of their health condition, while for others, it’s simply a case of a lack of confidence or need for skill building to better present themselves as a potential candidate. “There’s a job out there for everyone and a disability doesn’t have to stand in the way of that,” said Ms Ludowyke. “Sometimes it can take a little bit of time, but with the right support it’s possible.”

Employment boost from social housing program
Small acts make a big impact.
The Victorian Government has announced the $3 million Social Housing Employment Program which will help create 200 jobs through a partnership between Jobs Victoria and Homes Victoria. The program offers secure work for at least 12 months for jobseekers who are social housing residents, women (particularly women over 45), people with disability, the long-term unemployed, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people aged 18-25, veterans and those from culturally and linguistically diverse communities. The announcement comes after concerns from Yarra Ranges homelessness support services like Holy Fools and Anchor in 2022 over the state of social housing, with Holy Fools founder and CEO Neal Taylor previously telling Star Mail he thought “it was a bit pathetic that only $1.3 million in low-interest loans was given to community housing agencies to provide social and af-

fordable housing” in the 2022/23 Victorian Budget. Minister for Employment Jaala Pulford said people living in social housing will benefit greatly from this initiative “Through creating jobs and delivering better services, we’re backing all Victorians to get the skills and opportunities they need to secure jobs in the social housing sector,” she said. The program will provide workers with an income while they gain an industry-relevant qualification, with mentoring support to help ensure their success. Recruitment has started and will continue until mid-2023. The program is delivered as part of the $5.3 billion Big Housing Build. “As we deliver more social housing through the Big Housing Build, we will need more people to service the sector. This program will give us the larger skilled workforce we’ll need,” said Minister for Housing Richard Wynne.

Steps to protect workers The State Government has introduced an amendment to the Sustainable Forests Timber Bill to ensure stronger penalties are faced by protesters who put timber workers’ safety and wellbeing at risk. The Sustainable Forests Timber Amendment (Timber Harvesting Safety Zones) Bill 2022 was introduced in parliament on Wednesdsay 25 May to modernise enforcement measures to better deter dangerous protest activities in harvesting zones. Protesters who illegally enter these zones, which are small and restricted areas where forestry activities are being undertaken, and dangerously interfere with workers or their machinery, will be subject to stronger penalties including maximum fines of more than $21,000 or 12-months imprisonment. Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas said the government respects the right to protest safely but want to make sure workers go home to their families each day. “Every Victorian has the right to be safe at work. Protests are becoming increasingly dangerous - particularly for workers - which is why this legislation will support them to get on with their job and minimise disruption to the industry,” Ms Thomas said. PVC and metal pipes, which can be used in dangerous protest activities, will be added to the prohibited items list meaning they potentially attract extra fines if used to hinder or obstruct timber harvesting operations. To prevent repeated safety risks across multiple Timber Harvesting Safety Zones, Authorised Officers will be able to issue Banning Notices. The notices will aim to stop individuals from repeatedly engaging in dangerous activities in Timber Harvesting Safety Zones and other forestry coupe areas. Authorised Officers will be given additional powers to search containers, bags and vehicles for prohibited items. This Bill will bring the Sustainable Forests

Win for conservationists as gov purchases land Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater is thrilled to hear of the expansion of the Liwik Barring Landscape Conservation Area in Yellingbo after the land was purchased by the Victorian Government. 41 hectares of what was private land will now be used to extend the critical habitat for the Helmeted Honeyeater and Lowland Leadbeater’s Possum - both faunal emblems of Victoria. “The major cause for the decline of the Helmeted Honeyeater and Lowland Leadbeater’s Possum has been loss of habitat - and therefore, any addition to the existing habitat that supports these species is greatly welcomed,” Friends of the Helmeted Honeyeater President Alan Clayton said. “For more than 30 years, we’ve been working in cooperation with the experts in the area and the Helmeted Honeyeater Recovery Team contains a huge range of experts whose expertise and knowledge has assisted in quality habitat restoration,” Mr Clayton said. Due to the work of environment bodies and Healesville Sanctuary, the population of the Helmeted Honeyeater has risen from 50 in the wild ten years ago to more than 250 currently. “It needs a critical mass of suitable habitat, particularly for the plant species that support the Helmeted Honeyeater to thrive in the wild - it’s finding the suitable habitat area, protecting and enhancing that habitat so that Helmeted Honeyeaters are able to have a home that allows them to not only survive, but thrive,” Mr Clayton said. The Lowland Leadbeater’s Possum is currently only found within the Liwik Barring Landscape Conservation Area. “We’re working with regional communities, private landholders and Traditional mailcommunity.com.au

An alliance to cut waste By Callum Ludwig
One of the new compost bays in the Healesville Community Garden. Picture: SUPPLIED
Yarra Valley ECOSS is among many community organisations joining the community alliance. Picture: ON FILE and community houses across the municipalities,” she said. “I look forward to watching the live count of the kilograms of waste being diverted from landfills through composting, repair cafes and coffee cup collection on the CAWRS website.” The goals of the alliance are to provide community support and education which establishes and encourages the use of community compost hubs, repair cafes and coffee cup collection points.
Creating and organising the implementation of community compost hubs has fallen on the other Joint Project Co-ordinator of CAWRS Max Godber, who will launch them at five locations, first the Healesville Community Garden with Japara House in Kilsyth, Bedford Park Community Centre in Ringwood, the Hills Community Garden in Cockatoo and the Garfield Community Garden all to come. ECOSS have had their own community compost hub for over 12 months which Mr
Christie said hasn’t been as successful as hoped due to Covid-19. “During the last 12 months, for a large part of that time, we weren’t able to have the people coming in on-site we normally would have, but that’s beginning to open up now,” he said. I would certainly expect the next 12 months to show an upswing in the amount of material that we’ll be able to compost, as people are more relaxed to come back in and I finish rebuilding them in a different spot. Alongside the Pakenham hub, the two existing hubs have already diverted more than 1,114 kg of organic waste from landfills, with eventual goals of diverting 21.5 tonnes of waste from landfills over the 18-month project duration. All compost hubs and repair cafe events will be located via an interactive map on the CAWRS website soon. Residents will be invited to sign up to become members of their local compost hub to help close the soil-food loop and keep compost local.
12544919-AI22-22
Recycling Victoria has sparked a new initiative in the Yarra and Dandenong Ranges, encouraging residents to reduce the amount of waste going into landfills, funded by the Sustainability Victoria’s Recycling Victoria Community Fund until April 2023. The new Community Alliance for Waste Reduction and Sustainability (CAWRS) has banded together environmental groups in the area to help deliver the message behind being sustainable with waste. Jon Christie of Yarra Valley ECOSS said he heard the early rumblings of establishing the Community Alliance and thought it aligned closely with the aims of ECOSS. “It was a natural fit, we’re all about education on sustainability, waste reduction and reusing resources that often get thrown away,” he said. “I offered to join the steering committee, which I’ve been a part of for about 6 months. I’ve come from outside the Valley, so it’s been really good to join this group and get in contact with all the other groups forming this alliance.” The initiative has been founded by Living and Learning Pakenham and Swinburne University of Technology (PrimeSCI!) with local institutions such as ECOSS (Wesburn), Birdsland Reserve through Yarra Ranges Council (Belgrave), Japara House (Kilsyth) and the Bedford Park Community Garden (Ringwood) all joining. Puffing Billy Railway, Montrose Township Group, Mt Evelyn War on Waste, Cockatoo Community House Garden, Garfield Community Garden, the Healesville Community Garden and the Cardinia Environment Coalition are all also involved. Joint Project Co-ordinator of CAWRS Julie Hanman said it is great to have so many organisations working towards the same goal. “It’s exciting to be working with so many community groups, environmental groups

Susie’s legacy to wildlife By Renee Wood The Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Association has welcomed a generous donation of $400 thousand dollars which will go towards expanding the Yellingbo Reserve for helmeted honeyeater habitat. A Yellingbo resident Susie May Stevens died in 2019 and requested in her will the funds be donated to the wildlife organisation. Ms Stevens was a regular visitor to the charity’s past second-hand store in Healesville, when it occupied the current site of the Salvation Army store on Maroondah Highway. Lyn Savill, friend of Ms Stevens, said she would be very pleased and loved animals. “I think she’d be very happy that you’re doing this for the helmeted honeyeaters because we used to sit down and talk about them,” Ms Savill said. President Peter Hannaford was sincerely grateful for her contribution and legacy. “Thinking of Susie May’s bequest reminds me of a quote made over 40 years ago by a politician,” Mr Hannaford said. “No generation has a Free Hold on this earth, all we have is a life tenancy with a full repairing lease.” Yellingbo Reserve Director Professor Alan Clayton received the cheque and will coordinate the securing of the habitat rich land for the critically endangered species, extending from the current reserve. “The record will show that the greatest contribution to the extension of the Yellingbo nature conservation area has been due to the efforts of the Judith Eardley Save Wildlife Association and those who have contributed to it such as Susie May Stevens,” Prof. Clayton said. A plaque will be installed at the reserve, honouring Ms Stevens for her donation to wildlife.

The wildlife organisation has had a strong presence in the region for decades and has previously supported the reserve through other fund donations. Every dollar made by the organisation has gone towards supporting endangered species
across the globe and Yellingbo Reserve has been of focus for the last two decades. “Yellingbo is on our doorstep and a lot of local people have helped out and it’s doing a magnificent ongoing job and taking on the difficulties to save wildlife, it’s no easy process,” Mr Hannaford said. Prof. Clayton said another area purchased by the charity for the reserve has seen the most successful release yet of the Helmeted Hon-
eyeater within it last year. “The helmeted honeyeater habitat used to be from watts River, North of Healesville down to Bass River in Gippsland and the contraction of that habitat has meant that essentially the only place it is now found is in the wild is at Yellingbo.” The wildlife charity is still raising funds through a book stall at the Yarra Valley Antique store in Yarra Glen.

Using food to unite locals By Renee Wood A visit to a traditional contrada dinner in Tuscany and quote ‘build a longer table, not a higher fence’ have inspired a new community meal to get off the ground in Healesville. Healesville Library Children’s Services Officer Sharni Steel was amazed at how the community came together when she was lucky enough to join a contrada dinner in Tuscany in 2019. The dinners are a tradition to bring community and regional groups together - using food to strengthen communities. “We were looking up at this old medieval town where these communities live and they had to go off the mountain to do the dinner because the tables were so long but that was definitely a lived experience that I just thought I’d like to see more of that,” Ms Steel said. Building connectivity and inclusivity around food has also been a key motivator behind the ‘Hot Soup Kitchen’ community meals. “It’s about sharing and kindness and strengthening the community by sharing our resources and focusing on social inclusion,” Ms Steel said. Ms Steel has previously operated her own hospitality business and has produced kids cooking shows during lockdowns for the library, with the desire to warm the hearts and bellies of locals always being an aspiration. Quote, ‘build a longer table, not a higher fence’ is something that stood out to Ms Steel as to the thought behind the meal’s inception. “It can break down a social barrier as well my hope for at least the first three events is that there’s a lot of community enjoyment that comes out of it.” Ms Steel will be leading the delivery of the free community meal on Thursday 9 June, Thursday 14 July and Thursday 11 August.Now Covid-safe protocols are in place to allow the event to go ahead, with everyone welcome to join by booking into 16 spaces each over two
Sheree Laumen from HICCI and Sharni Steel from the library are excited to launch the free community meals at the Healesville Library. Picture: RENEE WOOD sessions on the given day. Ms Steel is currently recruiting volunteers to help with the events and is also sourcing local food donations, with HICCI, Toscanos and Bakers Deligh supporting the meals. Melbourne based organisation Open Table is another inspiration behind the idea which provides free meals at community facilities using donated
food that’s rescued from going to waste. There’s hope the pilot program will expand as funding opportunities are explored to allow the community meal to be held more frequently in the future. “The idea would be that it could become a funded activity, so that we can have a caterer come in… leading towards what OpenTable
do… so using food that would have been thrown out by local business, and instead that coming to the library.” Bookings are essential for the two sessions on the day from 12pm-1pm and 1pm-2pm.

Desert race thrill seeker By Renee Wood One of Australia’s most grueling off-road race events is approaching, with Yarra Glen resident Sam Handley preparing to take on the Tatts Finke Desert Race. Mr Handley will be heading to Alice Springs ahead of the Queen’s Birthday weekend event to take on the two day 460 kilometre race in the motorbike category. It’s no easy feat for both four and two wheeled competitors as they face the elements and heat on the 226 kilometre multi-terrain course back to back. “Between hard sandy sections then rock sections on the track, it’s a grueling ride and it’s very dusty. As far as it goes it’s one of the most difficult races that Australia has to offer,” Mr Handley said. The heat another factor to battle with in the Northern Territory’s desert - Mr Handley said it can be anywhere between 20 and 30 degrees while racing. “Two years ago, one of the days down there was over 30 degrees - two and a half hours of a max heart rate is very challenging, especially because you have to turn around the next day and do it all over again.” It will be the fifth time heading to Finke for the 27 year old who has a proven track record of staying in the top end of the pack. In 2017, Mr Handley first raced on a 251cc two-stroke and managed to secure third in his class and 63rd outright of around 650 competitors. The following year there was a shift in acceleration, managing to clear first in his class and 23rd overall. Jumping up to ride a 500cc four-stroke last year, Mr Handley’s most recent result was just as impressive crossing the finish line at 16th outright. The bike race was called off for the second day due to issues with the car race, seeing Mr Handley record an average speed of 111.8 kilometres per hour, finishing in two hours and two minutes. This year will be a test for the rider, completing the two days on a four-stroke for the first time. Mr Handley said he hasn’t set any specific goals with completing the race a great achievement for all riders. “The most important thing is just making it there and back and if I do that safely and efficiently, then my results should be somewhere around where I would like to be, which is around the pointy end.” Mr Handley will be completing a three hour enduro circuit in Victoria in the lead up, with time on the bike vital to get ready for the day. However, keeping a clear head and maintaining mental focus is one of the most important parts of what’s needed.
Yarra Glen local Sam Handley will be competing in the Tatts Finke Desert Race for the fifth time in June. “What some people don’t understand with Finke is getting your head wrapped around riding a motorbike at an average speed faster than you can drive a car on any road in Australia legally. “If you don’t have that six inches between your head right, then it doesn’t matter how fit you are, doesn’t matter how quick your bike is or anything like that. “I’d almost say having a strong mental preparation and being very strong minded is probably the thing you need the most to go and race up there competitively of course.” Mr Handley has been on the bike since he was three but said you don’t have to have previous race experience to sign up for the desert race. His dad, Chris Handley, in recent years completed the ride in his early 60s, ticking it off his bucket list like many other riders. “Probably half of the competitors every year that come, it’s a bucket list item for them…So it’s definitely a race for everyone, you don’t have to race it as competitively as what I take it.” The Tatts Finke Desert Race begins Friday 10 June.

The second set of GO-TO cards for the Connecting Communities – Yarra Ranges Shire board game has been published in this edition of the Star Mail newspapers. Created by writer and artist Jenni Ivins in collaboration with Star News Group and Yarra Ranges Council, the game allows players to adventure throughout a tabletop version of the shire. The game board, instructions and the first set of GO-TO cards needed to play the board game were published in the Tuesday 24 May edition of Star Mail newspapers and can be downloaded online. Caroline from the Connecting Communities Facebook page said Jenni did a great job with the game. “The game was a fun way to get to know our shire,” she said. “I wasn’t consciously aware of how big it is beforehand.” Each player places a marker on a town of
their choice on the game board, before taking a GO-TO card from the pile. The player moves the marker as directed, counting all the towns they pass through to get there. Pictures on the GO-TO cards were sourced from the Yarra Ranges community through the community Facebook page. Jenny Scammell said the game was a great idea and got a lot of people thinking about the area they live in. “I felt pretty chuffed having a photo selected and when I shared it on Facebook, friends were impressed too,” she said. “Great work Jenni encouraging such community involvement.” The game ends once every player has nine cards, where the scores are counted and the person with the lowest score wins. Ms Ivins has previously collaborated with Star News Group to publish board games based on two other Victorian shires. Turn to pages 27-30 for the game cards mailcommunity.com.au

IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Jayda to make her debut By Callum Ludwig A young Warburton artist is crowdfunding her debut EP, following in the footsteps of her father and musical family. Jayda Jean has been touring and producing with her dad Woody Clark, of Woody’s World, recording on his albums from the age of six and travelling the country at nine years old. Mr Clark said it was super exciting to see her producing her own music now. “She has co-written at least half a dozen songs for my two kids’ albums, she’s had a lot of input, and added a lot of value, giving the harmonies a child-like aesthetic,” he said. “A lot of people have been in on her journey from when she was really young and are really intrigued and excited to see how she takes this into her own artistic expression.” At the age of only 12 in 2018, Ms Jean entered her song Take Me in Your Arms into the ACMF National Songwriting Competition and won, receiving a $1600 prize which she put towards recording another original song, submitting it for a national songwriting award in 2020, and winning again. Ms Jean said she has been singing since she could speak. “It’s always been a hobby and a passion.

Rock royalty hits the road By Mikayla van Loon Australian rock band royalty, The Angels, are preparing to bring their long awaited tour to the eastern suburbs when they arrive in Mount Evelyn next week. The band known for hit songs ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’ and ‘No Secrets’ are touring pubs and clubs across the country including the York on Lilydale on 4 June. Guitarist John Brewster said after two years of cancellations and not being able to tour, it is not only exciting for the band but for the roadies and managers to get back to doing what they love. “This year, we’ve done close to 20 Red Hot Summer shows on huge stages to thousands of people along with six other bands and last December, we played with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, it’s called Symphony of Angels. So we’ve done some wonderful things. “But when we do this one, it’s back into our territory. We love it all but this is back in the pubs and clubs and doing the Dark Room album, it was supposed to be celebrating 40 years since we released it in 1980. “Of course, we’re celebrating 42 years because of the Covid hiatus if you like but we’ve done a couple of these shows now and it’s just fantastic.” The show itself is a longer one, with John saying the band will sing the songs from the Dark Room album before taking a break and heading back onto stage to finish with some of the hits. “I think it runs for about two and a half hours. We’ve, in a way, rediscovered that the Dark Room album was one of the best albums we ever made. “We’ve made a lot of albums of course over the years but this marks the year that we started touring the world in 1980. So it’s a pretty significant album.” After 40 years since the album was released, John said he thought it may have been a challenge to get back into the swing of it but really muscle memory kicked in
The Angels, with founding members John and Rick Brewster, singer Dave Gleeson, drummer Nick Norton, and John’s son, Sam will be touring the country with Darkroom Recharged. Picture: SUPPLIED and it came naturally. “I must say, we are playing wonderfully well and we’ve done a lot of shows this year so the band’s a very well oiled machine.” Playing pubs and clubs, John said, is “just part of what we do, it’s a really special part.” As a band, we grew up playing the pubs and there’s other things too, town halls and whatever but the pubs have always been a major part of what we do. “We don’t get out there that often but when we do we love it. It’s familiar territory for us, it’s up close and personal.” John said those more intimate venues allow an audience to really be involved in the music and enjoy the performance from a different perspective. Over the years, John said the crowd and audience who seem to attend the gigs always vary in ages, with young people still loving the sound of Angels songs. “Looking at the audience and seeing all these young people and they’re singing along with every song. “It’s great to see the crowds responding so well to the songs. We wrote songs, which I’m proud to say are pretty timeless.” Darkroom Recharged is touring across the country from May until December, with two shows in Victoria.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Bremner’s bright display By Renee Wood Warburton artist Claire Bremner is opening a new exhibition at the Warburton Arts Centre as YAVA continues its three month collaboration with the venue. Ms Bremner’s creates colourful displays of natural landscapes and floral arrangements, which are led by what she sees in the local environment. “As I moved up here into Warburton [in 2013], just being surrounded by the trees, the bush, the river and the nature - it’s hard to not be inspired by that when you’re in that situation where you’re surrounded by it,” Ms Bremner said. Using acrylic paints as a medium, the artist transforms blank canvas’ through a “loose and expressive” style of painting. The works are heightened by using bold colour combinations in an abstract way. The international renowned artist will be showcasing her creations which can be viewed in the open exhibit, while education will be a big part of her residency, with several workshops set for the month. Ms Bremner regularly hosts workshops, teaching how to paint landscape and florals at the Healesville gallery and has been teaching art for six years. “I actually really enjoy doing the teaching, because it gets me out of my studio, I get to hang around other creative people and I get to pass my skills on because I think that’s really important,” she said. “I would rather pass on that information and get the next generation of artists and people that want to be creative and want to
know how to do that.” Ms Bremner said experienced, beginners or hobby painters can benefit from the classes, as being creative provides many beneficial therapeutic elements. “You don’t need to be professional artists to benefit from art, it’s therapeutic and people just enjoy it for the sake of painting and they enjoy it for the process of doing it. “So I just like the process of sharing that information. It’s one of the ways that many people have found therapy and supported their wellbeing through the pandemic.” Ms Bremner is very generous in her teachings, sharing techniques of building up layers which can help people express themselves. “Knowing the steps as to how to get from beginning to end painting, we go through the layer process and building on layers and adding depth and value changes. “That’s the basic understanding of how the painting is created, I think that then gives them a lot more confidence when they go home. To open the exhibit on Saturday 4 June, Ms Bremner will be performing a live demonstration at 2pm. “I didn’t really get a chance to exhibit much in my own town…So it’s a really good opportunity to actually be in the main street and have the locals come in.” For more information visit https://www. yava.org.au/acw-clairbremner

Duo to bring blend of blues and rock and roll charm By Renee Wood Australian artists Tex Perkins and Matt Walker will be bringing bold tones, satisfying blues and rock and roll charm to Healesville when they perform at The Memo on Friday 10 June, with special guest Harmony Byrne to join them. Perkins is a familiar face on the music scene who’s been part of The Beasts, The Cruel Sea, The Dark Horses, The Man In Black a Johnny Cash Tribute show to name a few. Highly respected singer songwriter Matt Walker is also a well sought after guitarist and producer, working with many great people over his 30 year career. Most recently, the Aria Award winners have joined together forming The Fat Rubber Band, releasing a debut album in November 2021. The 10 track album was stirring between the long-time friends for some time, and recordings first began back in 2018.
Matt Walker and Tex Perkins will be gracing the stage at The Memo Friday 10 June. Picture: SUPPLIED Initial inspiration came from the Link Wray self-titled 1971 album which was recorded in a chicken shack, with the pair inspired by authentic sounds and ‘supercharged blues’. “We’re found of our fowl friends, there are also recordings of frogs and crickets on the album,” Perkins said.

“We’re a blues band and there’s songs on the album that you probably call supercharged blues, they start quite sedate but build into the crescendo. So I think that could suit the live situation quite well.” The song ‘Out There’ is just one of them that embraces the natural soundscape. “A lot of the vibe of the album is about trying to transport the listener to various places and I guess the initial idea of the album was to make to do recordings that sound like they weren’t from a recording studio, which is by its nature, a very clinical environment,” he said. “I’ve always been fond of errant sounds and accidental sounds and to let the sounds of reality get in on recordings - dogs barking, doors closing, chairs moving, you know that’s those sort of touches of reality that just give the listener a sense of being there.” The recordings also have a local connection due to some being recorded at Walker’s old studio shed when he lived in

the Dandenong Ranges. “Pretty much all the basic tracks were all recorded at Matt’s and then we mixed at Park Studios in Brunswick Melbourne, we did the finishing touches in the mixes there.” Co-written songs from the album, ballads from the past and well-chosen covers are set to feature in Perkin’s and Walker’s Memo performance. “I’m just really looking forward to playing these songs now that people have a chance to actually absorb the music,” Perkins said. The pair have been described as ‘often thrilling, occasionally deeply moving, sometimes a lot of fun but always very satisfying’ which is just what they’re expected to bring to Healesville.

Safe exercise for Osteoarthritis pain Osteoarthritis is a major cause of chronic pain, disability and activity limitation in modern Australia. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, around one in 11 Australians have osteoarthritis and the wait lists for joint replacement surgery are only getting longer. As a physiotherapist, I treat people with osteoarthritis every day and I understand very well the challenges it presents. So, what actually is osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis, and it is characterised by the wearing away of cartilage in a joint – most commonly the hips, knees, spine and hands. This changes a joint’s congruency (shape) and can lead to pain, inflammation/swelling and loss of movement. Unfortunately, there are many misconceptions about osteoarthritis. Whilst it is caused by many unavoidable factors such as age, genetics and old injuries, the most common causes of osteoarthritis are actually being overweight and having a sedentary lifestyle.

Physiotherapist, Leads the team at Form & Practice Mount Evelyn and Olinda Which means the opposite – exercise and a healthy lifestyle – are the best treatments for osteoarthritis. Literally – the best treatments! That’s not just my opinion, that’s a fact that’s been well established by countless research trials. Too many people rush off to get costly and painful joint replacement surgeries with a lengthy recovery without adequately trialling the substantial benefits of exercise therapy. Appropriate exercise for an osteoarthritic
joint is safe, does not further damage the joint (in fact it prevents further damage) and improves pain, function and quality of life. It’s also cheaper and easier than surgery – which should only be utilised as the last resort. Physiotherapists are experts in prescribing safe and appropriate exercise for people with all degrees of osteoarthritis and can give practical advice on pain management strategies and healthy lifestyle tips. It might be a bit of hard work initially, but the benefits are extraordinary. Osteoarthritic joint pain can improve without surgery. You just need to get out there and keep moving!

Well played production at 1812 Theatre The 1812 Theatre’s May production was the American comedy Till Beth Do Us Part. A comedy touching on fast and enjoyed by the opening night audience. The stage was set as the living room of the home of Susannah and Gibby Hayden. Susannah runs her business from home while Gibby is the local TV weatherman. Of course Gibby doesn’t do much around the house always putting things off so Susannah employs a woman to help run the house and who finally takes over the business. Kate Macfie was Susannah. A good portrayal of a businesswoman getting more and more frustrated.

Kemp’s curtain call Rowan Francis was Gibby, a I’ll do it later husband. Well played with Francis catching the finer nuances of such a character. Their friends, Margo and Hank were both well played by Megan Coe and Edward Kennett.
Coe caught the character with finesse giving a good performance. Kennett, a tall man which helped in the humour of the evening, gave a sterling portrayal and costume wise added to the enjoyment of the evening. Beth, the hired lady, was given a wonderful interpretation by Helen Ellis. She captured the accent as required, a very busy lady, projects well and was a bonus to the production. As Susannah’s boss, Celia Carmichael played by Leeann Cairnduff although a small role toward the end of the play, gave a great feel of the character and a scene with Kennett nearly raised the roof. A different ending to what one would expect but you have to see it to enjoy the whole production.
Family history a good read PASSION FOR PROSE WITH CHRISTINE SUN A review of Good Luck, Dear Girl: A turn of the century romance by Truda Olson Truda Olson’s Good Luck, Dear Girl: A turn of the century romance is the result of a meticulously researched family history project. It is a valuable text on the history of migration to Australia and New Zealand. The book tells the life story of Duncan, the author’s grandfather. In 1884, at the age of 18, he was sent by relatives from England to work on a sheep farm in New Zealand. Duncan later purchased his own farm and was very active in Pahiatua, a small rural town in southwestern North Island. His opinion pieces and involvement in community affairs often appeared in local and regional publications. This provided ample material for the author to piece together Duncan’s activities and aspirations. But the book features much more than one man’s life. For example, there is a brief history of migration from England to New Zealand, including a comparison of the sea voyage by sailing ship and steamship. Interestingly, in contrast to Australia being initially envisaged by the British Government as a penal colony, New Zealand was promoted as a desirable destination from the start. The author quotes John Murray Moore’s 1890 book New Zealand for the Emigrant, Invalid and Tourist: “A young, healthy, single man, of good morals and principles, energetic and ready to ‘rough it’ with a handicraft of some kind at which he is expert, is the type of emigrant that will succeed in New Zealand. If he leaves old England with hope in his bosom, faith in his heart, and love to his fellow-man beaming from his eyes, always ready to do a good turn, handy and hard-working, and skilled in his own particular trade, he will not fail of getting remunerative employment.” The author further supplies a vivid sketch of the lived experiences of middle-class migrants in New Zealand in the late 19th century. These include but are not limited to their performing arts, sports, recreational activities, and the so-called “acclimatisation societies” that worked hard to introduce numerous species from England to the colony. Then, in 1902, Duncan married Gertrude, the author’s grandmother, whose family migrated from Wales to New Zealand in 1876. Gertrude was an accomplished writer, musician, actress and singer. At the age of 20, she met Henry Lawson when the famous Australian writer briefly visited New Zealand in 1894. A long, beautiful poem written by Gertrude in 1897 is included in the book. In the author’s words: “Well, if that’s not a poignant cry from a wounded heart, I don’t know what is.” Finally, the author traces Duncan and Gertrude’s life in Australia after the couple relocated to Tasmania in 1907 and then to Victoria in 1911. Their hobbies, activities and social engagements in Somerville and Bendigo shed much light on Australian attitudes towards foreign decoration and design in the early 20th century. In short, Good Luck, Dear Girl is an example of diligent and disciplined family history research. The writing is engaging and informative, the presentation exquisite and highly enjoyable. Job well done. mailcommunity.com.au
OPINION
Local cricketing royalty Long before the exploits of Elyse Perry, Meg Lanning and Alyse Healey for Australian Women’s Cricket, Healesville had its own international cricketer. Elsie Deane, of Badger Creek, born in Brighton in 1910, was vice captain of the Australian Women’s Cricket Team which toured the U.K. in 1937. At that time women’s cricket had nothing like the profile it has today; in fact, even though Test Matches between Australian and English women began in 1934, only 25 Tests have been played in the ensuing years between the two countries. Elsie Deane played only the one Test Match, retiring soon after her return to Australia. Her selection for Australia would have been based on her success for Victoria, for which her two sisters, Mollie and Violet, also played. In her teens Elsie became intensely interested in cricket.In the later 1920s and 1930s many businesses had their own sporting teams, Semco – embroidery manufacturers – among them. Elsie and her two sisters worked there and played in the cricket team. The cricket pitch was set in beautiful grounds near the factory in Black Rock. As their skills and reputation increased the sisters travelled from Brighton to Brunswick by cable tram every Saturday to play for that Club. Elsie’s enthusiasm and ability were recognised by her selection for the Australian tour to England in 1937, and as Vice-captain no less! The Deane family of three girls and six boys were very poor, and as players then had to pay most of their expenses, it was a difficult situation for Elsie and her family. Her grandmother made all the clothes she needed for the trip, and the employees of Semco ‘passed the hat around’ to help meet Elsie’s expenses. Too modest to talk much about the tour, her diary and photographic album are apparently eloquent testimony of the wonderful time she had in Britain includ-

After her return, in 1938 she married Jim Hassett, a nephew of Test player Lindsay Hassett who was Don Bradman’s vice-captain on the 1947-48 tour of the U.K. They lived in a ‘gate keepers’ weatherboard cottage in Badger Creek, Healesville, with no electricity, and had no car. According to her daughter, Margaret, her mother had a ‘hard life’, but was a ‘wonderful woman’. She became involved with the local community, being an enthusiastic member of the C.W.A, and the Badger Creek School Mother’s Club in the 1950s. Elsie Hassett was also a very keen gardener, regularly winning prizes in local agricultural and garden shows. It was said at her funeral that she loved Badger Creek and she ‘lived for her flowers’. She was also an active member of the Healesville Ladies Bowling Club, becoming secretary in 1974 and 1975. It was the simple things in life which gave her the most pleasure, and she was always bright and cheerful. Elsie Hassett died suddenly in July 1978, at the age of 68. The crowded church at her funeral was an indication of the affection and respect she inspired in those who were fortunate enough to have known her.

NEWS Mushroom foraging is no modern man made adventure – it’s something that’s taken place for hundreds, if not thousands, of years but in recent decades it’s mainstream acceptability has waned - until now.
Foraging fungi revolution By Renee Wood Something that’s been a long standing tradition for other countries such as in France, the UK or America, it now seems Fungi finding adventures have gained a local surge of interest in recent time. Foraging groups have been popping up within Melbourne and Australia over the past few years, with several social media groups dedicated to seeking out mushrooms. Having eatable, medicinal and poisonous, even deadly, properties– joining the hunt for fungus is a task that needs skill and expertise. Healesville resident Marcus Kaye started his quest to learn more about mushrooms when the Covid-19 pandemic exploded and walking became a popular past time. Mr Kaye, who’s a chef by trade, said many of his favourite recipes promote mushrooms as the leading superstar of a top table dish. “Mushrooms are a big part of cooking, especially vegetarian cooking, that’s one of the biggest ways to get your proteins - different flavors, different varieties, different colors,” Mr Kaye said. Once the walks began, Mr Kaye noticed there was plenty of fungi around us – all you have to do is allow your gaze to widen the lens. “If you’re not actually looking for them, it’s very easy to miss because we’re more focused on where we’re going. “A lot of the time, they’re underneath things and sometimes you do have to look hard for them, so it does take a bit but it’s not that hard. It’s more just keeping your eyes open for them they grow over trees, all over fallen stumps and you can find mushrooms anywhere basically.” Once you start to uncover their hiding spots, the desire for a foraging hunt is contagious. Mr Kaye said he’s invested a great amount of time into researching mushrooms, speaking with experts and reading books to ensure he’s finding the right ones. An app called ‘Picture This Mushroom’ also helps to identify the ones that can be eaten – and most importantly the ones that cannot be consumed. The Saffron Milk Caps are a regular edible find in the Healesville area, which grow wherever their are pine trees. “You do have to be careful…you have to take photos from different angles, because they [the app] can actually identify it as something else if you’re not correct with the photography, so I guess that’s been a big help.” Mr Kaye who’s a member of the Healesville Community Garden has started sharing his knowledge and foraging areas will others.
Grey oyster kits can help people grow their own at home.
Marcus Kaye grows and foragers for mushrooms.

Oyster mushrooms are popular in many recipes.
So far two meetings have been held where Mr Kaye imparts his information with others. “I’ve had some really good feedback… it’s great to see the kids doing it with their parents because I have two kids myself and I’ve been teaching them and they love it. “It’s just good to see people enjoying it and then you get the reward of picking them and going home to cook them.” However, respecting the environment and only taking small portions is a strong ethos for foragers.
“Leave a third for someone else and a third for the animals…you have to respect that not just take everything, so it’s all about taking care of the environment as well.” Mushroom hunting isn’t just for the taste seekers, it’s also for the thrill of finding interesting shapes, sizes and colours. Mr Kaye said the glow in the dark, not to be consumed, varieties can be found in the region. “There’ll be on the bottom of the trees and the foliage, so on the ground around Healesville..
“They won’t glow during the day, it’s only at night then once they’re past a certain point they won’t glow anymore as well…they glow for roughly five days.” Growing mushrooms at home is also another option – Mr Kay purchases kits from Healesville based Gramco Fungi, a mushroom wholesaler. “Gray oyster, tan oyster, I also have yellow oyster, pink oyster, lion’s main, shiitaki... If people are interested in growing mushrooms at home that’s a good place to start.”

Warburton Golf results By Ron Hottes
Yarra Glen FNC took on strong teams at Emerald.
Picture: ON FILE
Last minute fight By David Ball Football Yarra Glen faced second-placed Emerald at Yarra Glen in great football conditions. Whilst Yarra Glen started well in general play they were unable to connect when going forward. At each turnover, Emerald used precise field kicking to set up a 3.6 to 1.0 lead at quarter time. Yarra Glen put the Emerald forwards under intense pressure causing a number of rushed behinds. In the second quarter, the River Pigs continued with the pressure and improved their field kicking and piled on 5 goals to Emerald’s solitary goal to go into halftime with a 2 point lead. It was a welcome return from injury for captain Ben Ashton who was terrific in the midfield. Emerald was stung into action, lifting their intensity and continuing with their clean ball handling and precise kicking. They outscored Yarra Glen 5 goals to 2 to take a 14 point lead into the last quarter. Yarra Glen battled hard in the early part of the quarter to keep in touch but eventually ran out of steam as Emerald kicked late goals to win 14.12 to Yarra Glen’s 9.7. Best for Yarra Glen in a good team effort
were Ben Ashton, Blake Binion, Jason Godfrey, Billy Gardner, Jimmy Marks and Jayden Schille. Goalkickers were Richard Gurney (2), James Whelan (2), Sam Horsley (2), Callum Morison and Adam Whelan. The Reserves started strongly with Stirling Twite-Moore kicking 2 goals to have them only a point down against third-placed Emerald at quarter time. In a tough second quarter, both teams added 2 goals, with Emerald 6 points up at the main break. Having thrown everything at it in the first half, Yarra Glen seemed to stop in the third, with Emerald playing much better football to add 3.4 whilst the River Pigs didn’t add to their score. It was a great fightback in the last for Yarra Glen to outscore Emerald with 3 goals to 1. The final score of 7.1 to 8.13 was the best result for the season. Best for Yarra Glen were Brendan Davis, Jacob Reddaway, Craig Dodsworth, Anthony Harman, Zac and Nate Capuano. Goalkickers were Stirling Twite-Moore (2), Drew Brodie (2), Nate Capuano, Max Forbes and Brendan Davis. Next week Yarra Glen has a short trip to take on Healesville in the local derby. Netball A grade was jumped early by a more aggressive
and intense Emerald. Down by 11 at quarter time the girls gradually got back into the game. Peta Fay started to restrict Emerald’s great goalshooter, Kaylah Loulanting (35 goals) as Yarra Glen started to control more of the game. The poor start was a bit too much as the girls went down by just 3 goals, to lose 41-44. Best were Steph Gibbs (25 goals), Pete Fay and Jackie Hibberd. In B Grade it was a battle for 4 th spot, with Yarra Glen finishing with a thrilling 1 goal victory. Down by 3 goals at halftime, Yarra Glen kept the pressure on to overhaul Emerald to be in front at the final siren. Best was Gemma Ryan, Tammie Milbourn end Ellen Brown (25 goals) C Grade fronted up against a stronger and more aggressive opponent. A nasty head injury to Jacinda Fraser caused a major time delay. It was distressing for the Yarra girls and they ended up losing 37- 56 despite a great effort. Best for Yarra Glen were Michele Young, Kali Fraser and Jasmin Wood D Grade fought hard to be just 2 goals down at three-quarter time. Emerald proved too strong in the last with Yarra Glen eventually going down 27-35. Best were Sarah Orlandi (21 goals), Kim Christian and Ellie Symes.
Wednesday 25 May, The JohnstonHyndman classic: Alan Johnston and Noel Hyndman have sponsored this popular event for many years, and before that Alan originally created it with life member, Ron Hanson. It was run this year along the lines of individual and Best-Ball Stableford, in teams of 3. At the end of the day, only a countback separated 2 of the teams competing. Captain Ray Gilmore, John Haynes and Ross Machar came out on top, with a well-compiled 45 points. Their back nine of 24 points was just enough to keep out the runner-up team, which comprised Max Carvill, Mario De Vincentis and Kevin Conway. Well done to both teams as they were clearly ahead of the pursuing pack! Balls were given out via a random card draw. NTPs went to Phil Garside (3rd), Glen Patrick (5th and 12th), Max Carvill (9th) and to Ross Machar (15th). As with these novelty days, there were two Nearest-2nd-shot holes. Luke Patrick won both the 10th and 11th. Good shooting Luke! The Longest Ladies drive went to Deb Hamment on the 8th and the Men’s to Glen Forbes (13th). The Match Committee and Captain “Happy” would like to thank Alan and Noel for their continued support of this very popular competition. Well done A.J. and Hymie! Saturday 28 May, PAR: On a day when the weather made golf that little bit more challenging, one player who rose above that was Steuart Hawke, who with his new set of clubs, posted a solid +3 to take home the AGrade voucher. The B-Grade variety was won by Barry Maltman, with a +3. Kimbas Kennedy grabbed the runner-up prize with a +2. We think balls got down to “square.” NTP winners were Peter Bell (3rd), Danny Fox (5th), Lee Creedy (9th) and to Sam Dennis (12th and 15th). The Singer/Walker Matchplay title has begun, and the Scott brothers, (Robert and David), had a good win over Happy Gilmore and Shane Campbell 3/1.

Young coaching lineup for the Wesburn U15s footy side By Callum Ludwig Wesburn’s U15s football team have tapped into their former player base for their coaches this year, ditching the usual dads for a threepronged young lineup of Kane McDonald, Ryan Gribbrock and Pat Huynh. All three played for Wesburn’s junior ranks in recent years and have returned to help guide the next generation of youngsters to come through the club. Head Coach McDonald was an assistant last season and Gribbrock and Huynh saw his work last year before deciding to come on board as assistants. McDonald spoke highly of Huynh’s humility to return to his junior club. “Patty Huynh is an ex-league best and fairest with the juniors at Wesburn and he could have had Wesburn in the rear vision mirror, to still be coming back after having such a great role to play shows a lot about him,” he said. “For him to be our skills coach is massive for us because he’s changed a lot of the way our mailcommunity.com.au
the kids played, he’s awesome.” Wesburn’s U15s are a young side in the U15 Ranges division, with only three top age players. McDonald said all three coaches have brought different skills to the table. “Grib (Gribbrock) has been awesome as well, he plays out at Powelly(Powelltown) now and has implemented some of the stuff they use out there, so it’s good to have a combination of the play styles at Warby (WarburtonMillgrove, where Huynh plays) and Powelly,” “Then I was at Lilydale as well and still utilise some things from there. It helps that Patty is a midfielder, Grib is a forward and I am a backman as well for when we go into groups in our lines.” The side currently sits fourth out of seven teams after seven rounds, with two wins and five losses and a percentage of 73.19. McDonald said both the players and the coaches themselves have enjoyed having younger men in charge of the team. “We still have a couple of dads who come
down and help us out, and they said the kids are really loving it, and they’re not just listening to old blokes all the time,” he said. “I loved it as an assistant last year, and coming on again this year as a head coach, I’ve absolutely loved it so much more, I speak regularly with the other coaches and it’s something we look forward to coming to after work and on game day.” The side is coming off a 0-158 drubbing of Yarra Glen away from home ahead of their game against sixth places Healesville who also have two wins to their name. McDonald said it is an experience he would recommend to any young aspiring coach. “It’s something you might not think at the start you might like but when you go on like further into it you actually grow as a person yourself such as with your public speaking,” he said. “When I started last year I could barely hand out the awards at the end of the game and now I’m talking to the players all the time and it is no worries to me, I don’t get nervous anymore.”

Best for this game was Tegan Butcher, Tahlia Thornton and Lucas Rush. Under 18’s pulled off another massive win, coming home with another 4 points against Alexandra. Liam Westlake kicked a massive 7 goals and Hudson Semple backed up his 5 goal effort last week with another 4 in this round. Luke Anderson, Dylan Walker and Tyson Henry all secured 1 each. The final score was 14.16-100 to 6.2-38 with the best players being Elken Croydon, Liam Westlake, Luke Anderson, Ziggy Kneebone, Dylan Walker and Tarkyn Nicolandos. D Grade had a bye this round. C Grade was next on court and once again, pulled off another big win, holding on to their undefeated streak. With a strong start to finish, they managed to keep Alexandra to 11 goals whilst putting up 47. Emily Hay shot 20, Mel Hancock with 15 and Brooke de Pedro with 12. Top performers were Courtney Irwin, Melanie Hancock and Brooke de Pedro. Reserves were next on-field and again, managed to keep hold of their Undefeated streak.

Jordana Butcher shot 29 goals in 3 quarters, with Alexandra Woods putting up 21 and Ella Meerkotter with 4. Best players for this match were Jordana Butcher, Chelsea Barnard and Sally McIntosh. An intense game for A-Grade this week as they secured another win by 2 goals. They produced a quality match from start to finish and were not letting Alexandra take the lead from them. Another team to not let the undefeated streak be interrupted, it is great to have some strong wins through the grades in both football and netball. The final score for this match was 47-49 with Shae Gee putting up 22 goals, Kirralee Luiyf with 20 and Bianca Daniels with 7. Best for this match was Ashlyn Elliott, Bianca Daniels and Kirralee Luiyf.

Wandin pick up fourth win on the bounce By Nick Adam In Round 7 of Premier Division, Wandin took on Pakenham at home, winning 19. 8, 132 to 15. 11, 101 The Dogs led all day, but only by 16 and 13 points at the end of the first and second quarters respectively.

It was the fourth win on the trot for the Dogs who moved into second on the ladder. Patty Bruzzese, Chayce Black, Clinton Johnson, Cody Hirst, Patrick Hodgett and Samuel Hodgett were Wandin’s top performers on the day. Goalkickers were Clinton Johnson with a huge haul of 8, Harrison Byrne with 4, Patrick Hodgett with 3, Ryan Jackson with 2 and Cody Hirst and Todd Garner each with 1.

After the bye last week our seniors and reserves were keen to head up the hill to take on Powelltown in what is always a great match up. Our reserves started the game strong with John Holmes kicking the first two goals for us, however, we still headed into the first break a goal down. The second quarter was a tight contest but saw Powelltown take the lead at the major break by 3 points. After a half time rev up from the coach, the players came out firing and were able to take a 10-point lead at three-quarter time before piling on 4 goals and keeping Powelltown scoreless in the last quarter to run out eventual winners by 35 points. Ben Payne, Trent Fennell and Jordan Moloney were our best players for the day. The seniors didn’t have a great start to their game, with Powelltown taking a 23-point lead at quarter-time The second quarter was a much more even contest but the team still had some catching up do it, trailing at the main break by 14 points. After the halftime break, it was goal-for-goal for a while, before we got two in a row to bring it back to a 1-point game. The last quarter was a tight and hard-hitting contest, but The Eagles wanted it more kicking 4 goals to The Demons 3. Cooper Holmes had the match-saving smother (albeit with his head) and was amongst the best, while Ewan Wadsworth and Josh Wall also had solid performances Our Netballers didn’t have a great day on the court. D grade started off strong and managed to reduce the scoreline from last time the sides met, but Powelltown were much to strong. Beverley Tranter was best on the court. C grade started off slow which set the scene for the rest of the game. Lots of silly mistakes from the girls meant Powelltown got away to a strong lead and never looked back. Best on went to Teagan Hulten. B grade also started slowly however showed improvement over each quarter which was good to see. Hana Hietkamp was a stand out on the day for The Eagles. It was a tight contest in the A grade with the lead changing many times. At one point we were up by 6 however a few costly mistakes saw Powelltown claw the lead back, eventually winning the game by 4 goals. Jodie Terry was best on for the day. Next week sees us back at home to take on Warburton Millgrove in the men’s football and netball while our women’s side takes on Olinda-Ferny Creek. We will also be hosting our Past Players and Sponsors day and our annual Goods and Services Auction that night. We look forward to seeing a big crowd at the Yarra Junction Recreation Reserve to cheer our teams on. mailcommunity.com.au
