Surfing up TV drama
(Ivan Kemp) 318332_18
Netflix’s hit teen surf drama series ‘Surviving Summer’ is filming for its second season on the Surf Coast. The story follows rebellious Brooklyn teen Summer Torres, played by Sky Katz, who is expelled from school and sent to live with family friends in the tiny fictional town of Shorehaven on the Great Ocean Road. The first season received mostly positive reviews and filming for season two continued at Anglesea this week. Queensland actor and surfer Lilliana Bowrey (pictured left) is one of the stars of the show while fellow cast members Annabel Wolf (middle) and Torquay surfer Todd Rosewall (right) were pictured, taking a break from the filming on Monday, February 4. The show reached the top 10 in more than 42 countries around the world on Netflix. The first season premiered on the streaming platform giant on June 3, 2022, and was renewed for a second season in November last year.
Seasonal sport stand-off By Matt Hewson Lara Tennis Club and the City of Greater Geelong (CoGG) are at a stand-off over the club’s access rights to the newly-constructed pavilion at Lara Recreation Reserve. The pavilion, part of CoGG’s wider $17 million 2019 Lara Recreation Reserve Master Plan, was always intended to be a shared netball and tennis facility. However, the tennis club was recently informed that access would be divided into summer and winter seasons, in line with the city’s policy for football and cricket clubs. Access would be granted to the tennis club from October to March and Lara Sporting Club from April to September. Lara Tennis Club president Robert Dando
said this was unacceptable given the tennis club held both summer and winter competitions. “A lot of clubs in Geelong have shared clubrooms for cricket and football, and they only give the football club access during winter and cricket in summer, which makes sense because those sports only play during those seasons,” he said. “CoGG is using that as their model for all shared pavilions in Geelong in the sense that there’s no overlap. I’ve been explaining this to them for months now, and they just keep saying this is their policy and they can’t change it.” Mr Dando said while the Lara Sporting Club netball section had been “fantastic” to deal with, the tennis club needed guaranteed access during its winter season.
“We’re just trying to future-proof this situation,” Mr Dando said. “We don’t see any problems this year or the next, but in five years’ time if there are different committees for each club, you just don’t know what’s going to happen.” Lara Tennis Club suggested to Lara Sporting Club and CoGG that both clubs have 12-month access subject to a sharing agreement, which, initially, all parties had agreed with. “On January 25 we were emailed a 12-month licence,” Mr Dando said. “Four days later we were told, ‘I checked with my supervisor and I can’t give you that. You’re not getting the keys unless you sign a six-month licence’.” CoGG community life director Robyn Stevens said the city’s policy of appointing
each club as head licensee for half the year was the best approach to shared-use facilities. “The licensing arrangements we’ve put forward match those in place at other shared-use sporting pavilions across the region, where they work successfully,” Ms Stevens said. “For shared-use pavilions, it is standard to have a head licensee during winter and a head licensee during summer, so that responsibility for the operation of the building – such as management of the canteen, payment of utilities, and general upkeep – is clear.” Lara Sporting Club president Peter Kelly said his club had no objections to both clubs receiving a 12-month licence. “When that was offered to us, we accepted it,” Mr Kelly said.

Emgergency designs unveiled Designs for the new $20 million children’s emergency department at University Hospital Geelong have been unveiled by Health Minister Mary-Anne Thomas. The new children’s emergency department will include 28 additional dedicated treatment spaces including two fast-track and eight short-stay beds – with new treatment rooms and support spaces and a separate pediatric triage system and waiting area. The designs, unveiled on Saturday, February 4, reveal a child-friendly environment with considered calming, soft tones and decor to help minimise anxiety in younger patients. “This multi-million-dollar project will
provide kids in Geelong with faster access to the care and treatment they need and a safer and more suitable work environment for the region’s amazing health care workers,” Ms Thomas said. “We’re making sure kids in Geelong and the Barwon region get the quick, dedicated care they need so that they feel better sooner and in a safe, calm and comforting environment.” The project is being delivered by the Victorian Health Building Authority (VHBA) in partnership with Barwon Health. Construction is expected to get under way this month and be finished in July 2024 next
year, sustaining and creating about 60 jobs during construction. Barwon Health emergency department director Dr Belinda Hibble said she was “excited to have a dedicated space to provide emergency care to children and young people in our community”. “This will allow young patients and their families to experience their care in a calm space that is designed for them,” she said. “The new facility will include a children’s short stay unit, which will benefit children needing care for less than 24 hours of hospital care. “Staff are looking forward to working
in a modern environment designed in consultation with staff.” The state government investment builds on more than $500 million from the Victorian Budget 2022-23 for the flagship Barwon Women’s and Children’s Hospital. The new Barwon Women’s and Children’s Hospital will integrate with existing University Hospital Geelong services and will deliver additional capacity to meet increasing demand in the region. The new facilities include more birthing suites, extra maternity inpatient beds, more pediatric inpatient beds, and extra special care nursery cots.
Long lunch for health Geelong’s Longest Lunch returns to the waterfront next month in support of Barwon Health Foundation. The event involves a group of the region’s top chefs donating their time to work together to produce four award-worthy courses, utilising fresh local produce and coupled with local wines. Participating chefs include Mike Jaques of Tulip, Andy Symeonakis of 1915, Stuart North of Empire Grill, Chris Hudich of Wharf Shed, Leonie Mills of The Culinary Collective at The Gordon and Daniel Brehaut of The Davidson at The Gordon. Foodie personality Sarah Pound, better known to her 200,000 Instagram followers as Wholesome by Sarah, has been announced as the guest host. Sarah is a qualified nutritionist, the founder of successful catering business Two Pounds,
and a recipe developer for the popular 28 by Sam Wood program. Barwon Health Foundation philanthropy manager Francis Trainor said it will be the first time the event has been held since 2019. “We are very excited for the return of Geelong’s Longest Lunch, a much-loved event on our fundraising calendar,” he said. “It simply would not be possible without incredible support from our local hospitality industry and the broader community who have been quick to snap up tickets. We cannot wait to announce the total funds raised in support of Barwon Health.” Geelong’s Longest Lunch is at Transvaal Square, overlooking Geelong’s waterfront, on Friday March 17.

MARRIAGE OF THE PRINCE OF WALES The marriage of the heir to the British Throne was a big deal in Geelong. Prince Albert Edward, the future King Edward VII, eldest son of Queen Victoria, was married on 10 March 1863 at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. His betrothed was Princess Alexandra of Denmark. Communications over long distances being what they were, the Governor of Victoria declared Tuesday, 19 May 1863, a public holiday. Geelong’s Mayor, Edward Knight, invited inhabitants to close their places of business on that day and illuminate their houses in the evening. The Town Council organised certain public festivities and businesses and individuals made their own arrangements. There was a procession through town by the mayor and councillors, the Geelong Artillery Brigade, the Mounted Troop, the Fire Brigade, various Orders of Odd Fellows and other Lodges, and over 400 school children. The procession ended at the Botanical Gardens, where the curator, Mr Bunce, had erected a beautiful flower arch over the Malop Street gate. A fair bit of rain fell during the day but the celebrations were not dimmed. With the aid of kerosene, beacons were lit across Geelong. The fire on Newtown hill was answered by one at Station Peak. ‘As far as the eye could see, the different headlands were dotted with fires’. The Geelong Chronicle office, in Ryrie Street, ‘displayed painted windows, illuminated from within, of the Royal initials A. & A. and the Danish cross. A great crowd assembled at the

newspaper’s office but the display was only part of the attraction. A free beer fountain, put on by William Noonan, of the Royal Exchange Hotel, seemed to pique the interest of many townsmen! Volum’s Brewery had made the brew especially for the occasion. The fountain was turned on for three hours, after which one wag pronounced it, “the werry best show in
the fair”. The banks, the hotels, the shopkeepers all had illuminations of some sort, flags or other devices to celebrate the occasion. Geelong had done the royal wedding party proud.

Council sells Belmont property A council-owned 15,605 metre commercial property in Belmont will be auctioned next month. The city has appointed agents Colliers International to market the 17 Reynolds Road property, which is one of four surplus assets earmarked for sale through the council’s 2022-23 budget. The property includes a commercially leased ten-pin bowling centre, a maternal health centre and car parking. The city has placed as a condition of sale that the maternal health centre remains in operation under a lease at the site for 20 years.
Colliers senior executive Ben Young said the property comprises 2975 square metres of building area with approximately 175 car parks, on a total of 15,605 metres of mixed-used land. “This is a strategic investment opportunity in a thriving location with significant landholding, which presents as an investment with long-term potential for redevelopment,” he said. Mayor Trent Sullivan said the sale was a continuation of the council’s plan to reduce debt and raise revenue to fund community facilities.
“We are facing a tough economic environment, with huge cost increases in the construction sector impacting our budget,” he said. “These sales form an important piece of our affordability in our long-term budget planning, and will help us to provide improved community infrastructure for our growing population.” Deputy mayor Anthony Aitken, chair of the council’s finance portfolio, said the property had been identified as surplus to the council’s needs. “It makes sense for us to sell this non-core
Cancer treatament closer to home A local treatment centre is making it easier for patients in rural areas to access treatment and help close the cancer care gap. Geelong show dog breeder Greg Browne, 74, said he was currently getting treated for prostate cancer at the Icon facility in Waurn Ponds, which is his second cancer after having Melanoma in 2015. He said the centre was closer to home, provided more accessible treatment, and greatly benefited western Victoria. “Just the absolute ease of access is amazing,” Mr Browne said. “It was fortuitous that the Icon Centre was available a 10-minute drive from home, which is better access than I would have had in Melbourne. “There’re stresses involved in travelling. If I were in the city, I’d be looking at a minimum of an hour’s travel. If you still want to continue to work, it makes it impractical to do so. “The treatment regime here is 39 consecutive days of treatment. The treatments are relatively short, about 10 minutes, and that’s excluding weekends and public holidays. “It’s a fair commitment for a period of time.“ Mr Browne said the Icon Centre provided an “extremely personalised service” and helped relieve some of the fear around receiving the cancer treatments. “It’s a smaller, more personalised experience because it’s not like going into a major hospital in the city,” he said. “I think in some ways it’s less confronting. It’s got its own unit, the same consistent staff every day that greet you by name and all that makes it a more pleasant experience.” Icon Group chief executive Mark Middleton said there were still significant gaps in the cancer experience despite Australia having one of the world’s best healthcare systems. “We’re committed to providing patients greater access to integrated cancer care and working with our partners at local and national levels to connect patients to all aspects of their care,” he said. “This year we’re continuing to expand our national network of cancer centres, currently

at 36 centres, working alongside like-minded patient advocacy groups to improve the patient experience wherever people live.” Mr Middleton said focusing on deeper relationships with patient advocacy groups would help connect patients with needed services and provide more comprehensive cancer care with the latest technology and
techniques to close the care gap. “We’ve built a genuinely integrated network of cancer centres and expert clinical teams to eliminate the barriers faced by more remote communities.” “Our way of delivering care addresses workforce shortages and improves patients’ ability to access care with greater ease.”
property to help us remain financially sustainable and invest in other facilities that we have identified as a higher priority for the community,” he said. “We recognise that a maternal health centre exists on the sale site and plays an important role in the local community – a condition of sale will provide certainty for that service for the next 20 years.” The two properties earmarked for sale by the Council this financial year that are still to be listed are Busport Car Park at 30-54 Brougham Street, Geelong and 200 Princes Highway, Corio (containing a KFC).
Celebrate wetlands Field and Game Australia’s Geelong branch and the Wetlands Environmental Taskforce (WET) are inviting the public to their Open Day at the Connewarre Wetland Centre to celebrate World Wetlands Day. The open day is free to attend and will feature a series of events between 9am and 2pm, including a free barbecue breakfast and lunch, Bug Blitz demonstrations, guided observation trail walks, retrieving dog demonstrations and a plastic recycling demonstration. WET strategic planner Trent Leen said the open day was an important annual event for wetland lovers, advocates and conservationists. “World Wetland Day is February 2 every year, which is to celebrate the signing of the Ramsar Convention,” he said. “The Lake Connewarre system is a Ramsar-listed wetland, and the convention promotes wise use and the value of our wetlands. “(Wetlands) are the best carbon soaks, and the actual value of them is really just getting discovered now, which is unfortunate, because 35 per cent of all our wetlands have been drained. “So this day is to highlight the benefit of permanent and ephemeral wetlands and the good they actually do.” Mr Leen said retrieving dog demonstrations and the Bug Blitz were always favourites with children at the annual event. “There are always a dozen or more different sorts of bugs, spiders and micro-invertebrates; it’s great, the kids really enjoy that,” he said. The open day is on Sunday, February 12. Details: Trent, 0412 958 687 or Luke, 0407 689 909.

Wind farm construction begins Construction has started on the country’s largest permanent wind farm near Geelong. TAGEnergy’s Golden Plains Wind Farm is expected to be fully operational in late-2025. The wind farm’s total planned capacity is 1300 megawatts or enough energy to power more than 750,000 homes across Victoria. Ingka Investments, part of IKEA’s largest retailer Ingka Group, announced it had taken a 15 per cent stake in the $2 billion first stage of the Golden Plains development near Rokewood. Ingka will also be able to claim up to 15 per cent of the project’s electricity output to reduce
its carbon footprint. The new investment was part of IKEA’s broader goal to halve its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and reach net-zero by 2050, IKEA Australia chief executive Mirja Viinanen said. “We have done many investments, especially in European countries, but not so much so far in the Asia Pacific,” she told AAP. “Australia is a fantastic country to invest in good renewable projects. It has a stable economy, good companies and huge potential.” There are plans for IKEA to invest further in Australian renewable energy projects, with
the hope other corporations would follow, Ms Viinanen said. “We would like to attract and actually invite other companies, not just other retailers, to think mid- and long-term about investing into the right things,” she said. “It’s not only about telling, it’s about showing consumers and people around the world.” The funding appears to be the first direct investment from a major company into an Australian renewable energy project, TAGEnergy’s Australian manager Andrew Riggs said. “Everyone on the planet knows IKEA, so
when IKEA is doing something, everyone’s watching,” he told AAP. “We should sing it from the rooftops so that all of IKEA’s peers and other industries say what a great way we can contribute through putting our capital into this industry.” As part of the first stage of the Golden Plains Wind Farm, 122 wind turbines will be created for 756 megawatts of energy. The second stage, which is expected to start next year, will lead to a further 93 turbines being built for 576 megawatts of power. The overall project is due to be completed by the end of 2025. – AAP
Dig deep for the Inverleigh Good Friday Appeal The Inverleigh and Districts Good Friday Appeal (IDGFA) is reaching out for businesses and individuals to get involved and give generously to its Family Fun Day. Every year between 1997 and 2019 the small yet dedicated group of unpaid volunteers have held the Family Fun Day to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH). The event returns for its first year back since the COVID-19 pandemic began, and will be held on April 7 at Victoria Park, Inverleigh, from 10am till 5pm. The family-friendly event will feature food and market stalls, rides, a petting zoo, live entertainment, a classic car display and live auctions. IDGFA area manager Jay Cook said the community group wanted this year’s event to be better than ever. “Obviously our number one thing is to raise as much money for the Royal Children’s

“We’re looking for sponsors, donations and volunteers,” he said. “Businesses can sponsor us, while many individuals and businesses donate items for our live and silent auctions.
“The auctions are where we really make money for the cause. Every dollar we make is profit. And big or small, whatever donation you make, someone will buy it and every dollar counts. “And we’re always on the lookout for volunteers on the day, so if people can come for a few hours and help us out it makes a big difference.” Mr Cook said many people in the Inverleigh area had relied on the RCH for the health and wellbeing of their children and had joined IDGFA to give something back. “We still have some people on the committee that have had kids go to the Royal Children’s,” he said. “They’ve got healthy kids now and they want to give back. The rest of us are lucky enough that our kids haven’t needed to go there, but we all just think it’s a great cause.” Details: www.facebook.com/InverleighGFA or email Jay Cook at ihdgfa@outlook.com.

Wreck2Reef race director Andrew Dix said it was pleasing a full schedule of swims is back on the agenda for the first time since 2020. “This year will be the first year we have run the full program since before COVID – so that’s something we are looking forward to,” he said. “From our perspective it is obviously something people like to do, we will do whatever we can to make sure we put the day on. “The die-hard swimmers, all they want to do is get out and swim and they will look for every opportunity and we don’t want to let them down.” Mr Dix said swimmers still had time to register for the Wreck2Reef up and until the day of the event as registrations increased

Kardinia Ward councillor Bruce Harwood said it was time to refresh the area in collaboration with the community. “The North Valley Road Shopping Centre had a small street upgrade in 2011 with new furniture, trees and plantings, but is due for another refresh,” Cr Harwood said. “We need input from users of the area to improve the area, so please head to yoursay. geelongaustralia.com.au/NVRG and make a suggestion on the interactive map.” Cr Ron Nelson said increasing the greenification of the area would have many benefits. “Not only will planting more trees at the North Valley Road Shopping Centre make the strip a more attractive place to visit, but it will also have a cooling effect and attract more birds and wildlife,” Cr Nelson said. “The council funding aims to create a healthy environment and vital shopping centre and is part of our commitment to sustainable growth and liveability.”

ManuFutures hub expansion is now complete Deakin University’s $20 million ManuFutures hub expansion is now complete, with the Waurn Ponds centre now doubled in size and hosting 14 partner manufacturing businesses. The ManuFutures2 building, part of the Victorian government’s $350 Victorian Higher Education State Investment Fund, intends to grow advanced manufacturing capability in regional Victoria and Australia. ManuFutures offers tenancy opportunities, manufacturing incubator programs, training and engineering services to support start-ups and existing businesses. Deakin University deputy vice-chancellor research professor Julie Owens said
ManuFutures’ partnership with industry was delivering on its vision. “Since opening in 2018, ManuFutures has a successful track record of helping entrepreneurs and start-ups take ideas from paper, to prototype, to emerging global businesses,” Professor Owens said. “ManuFutures has helped create more than $1 billion in company value, incubated more than 17 advanced manufacturing start-ups, helped companies establish export markets in more than 35 countries, hosted 500 student placements, and created more than 120 advanced manufacturing jobs.” Li-S Energy is currently building a
production facility in the ManuFutures2 building that will be able to produce thousands of batteries a week once completed. Li-S Energy chief executive Dr Lee Finniear said the hub was an excellent opportunity for new and established manufacturing businesses. “I originally thought to put the two megawatt hour facility up in Queensland, but being able to do it within a university environment gives tremendous benefits,” Dr Finniear said. “It provides not only access to research and development labs and personnel, but also the ability to just walk to the next building and use the electron microscopes, all the equipment that would cost millions of dollars to procure
independently but is essential for this kind of high technology development. “Li-S is developing a new type of EV and aviation battery that’s spun out of Deakin University’s research program, and we’ve been able to keep the interest and focus of the R&D personnel at Deakin who originally came up with some of the fundamental research. “I work with a number of universities and I’ve never seen a facility like ManuFutures. It’s an incredible facility and the combination has been really excellent for us.” Dr Finniear said initiatives like ManuFutures were of critical importance to the nation. Matt Hewson

A Birregurra farmer has joined a new project to transform unused educational spaces into market farms to provide food for the community. Award-winning Birregurra restaurant Brae head farmer Nina Breidahl teamed up with the Farm My School not-for-profit association as a regenerative farmer for a new project. Mrs Breidahl said she was excited to bring her knowledge of farming to a community focussed project and for a partnership with Bellarine Secondary College. “This is such an exciting project that so many people are emotionally invested in. We’ve got so many volunteers coming in and the school is so behind it,” she said. “It’s such a different context and purpose to a restaurant like Brae, but I want to remain true to who I am as a farmer. “That is someone who respects the environment and grows beautiful organic food at hopefully an accessible price point for the local community.” Mrs Breidahl said it was important for students and schools to have a positive relationship with farming. “I really want to build a well-functioning
farm that has well run systems, where people can come in and volunteer and know what’s expected of them,” she said. “Where we have a great relationship with the students and that they’re getting something out of it, we’re getting something out of it, people get great food and get to put their hands in the ground – which I think is achievable.” Mrs Breidahl said the already well-planted Bellarine Secondary College farm needed a particular purple-leaf vegetable. “I’m obsessed with radicchio. It’s my favourite vegetable and it’s so under-rated, so I can’t wait to plant some of that,” she said. Farm My School founder James McLennan said he was glad to have Mrs Breidahl join the project and help teach students about the importance of healthy eating. “Communities are the key to localising food in an equitable way,” he said. “Schools provide a unique opportunity to engage children, families and communities in promoting healthy food systems. “We’re thrilled to have Nina join our team to help us continue to develop urban farming that connects farmers with schools and brings local food production back into the heart of our communities.”
Surf Coast Shire Council is looking to improve the local creative sector by providing creative grants this month. Applications for the council’s DEVELOP Arts and Creatives Grant program opened on Wednesday for locals across all artistic areas to be bold and innovative. Close to $3000 is offered to support individual professional artists and producers, and $5000 available for groups. Surf Coast councillor Gary Allen said the grant provided a great opportunity for Surf Coast’s creative sector. “The Surf Coast has long been known as the home of surfing,” Cr Allen said. “We’ve got the waves, the walks, the waterfalls and all the country style of the hinterland and to top it all off, dotted throughout this shire, we’ve also got one of the most innovative creative industry sectors Australia has to offer. “We understand it’s not easy being in the creative industry. Money and time are always an issue.” Cr Allen said it was important to support and help grow the creative industry across the Surf Coast. “That’s why these council grants support artists of all disciplines to keep going, to increase their skill set and to keep making their mark,” he said. “We know that if artists are supported here in the Surf Coast Shire, we all stand to benefit -

Remembering Ash Wednesday On February 16 40 years ago, the Ash Wednesday fires wreaked havoc on parts of Victoria and South Australia, including the Otways and the Surf Coast. Jena Carr spoke to a retired fire brigade captain and a then 22-year-old firefighter about the horrors of the event.
T
his year marks the 40th anniversary of one of Australian history’s most significant bushfire events which impacted the Surf Coast and surrounding communities. On Ash Wednesday, 1983, eight fires broke out over Australia and travelled 41,000 hectares through the Otways and Surf Coast due to dry and hot weather. Bill Bubb, 76, was Anglesea Fire Brigade captain 40 years ago and said he remembered Ash Wednesday “like it was yesterday”. “The day got hotter and hotter and went up to about 45 degrees and there was a howling north wind,” Mr Bubb said. “The fire started west of the Deans Marsh Township on the Birregurra-Deans Marsh Road. “We went back with the truck to the Great Ocean Road just up from the archway, which is called Spout Creek, where we met the rest of the Anglesea crew, the Aireys Inlet team, and the Forest Commission boys. “When the wind changed, somewhere between 7pm and 8pm, that’s when all hell broke loose.” Mr Bubb had been with the Anglesea fire brigade for 60 years and had witnessed big fires before the major event. He said Ash Wednesday was one of the biggest fires he had seen. “There was nothing left,” he said. “When the wind changed, it just destroyed everything in its path. “There were no leaves on the trees and no birds. There were kangaroos burnt. There was no noise, and you couldn’t hear the wind. “At the pine plantations at Peters Hill, towards the back of Anglesea, the sand just about turned to glass. “They had just introduced a koala colony to what they called Story Creek behind Aireys Inlet, and they were wiped out. “In Aireys, you could look up and see big

’’
sheets of iron coming, and that’s when we knew it was time to get out.” Mr Bubb said Anglesea lost close to 127 houses during the fires, and three people died in the region. “Most people got out,” he said. “What you got to realise back then was we didn’t have satellites and we didn’t have helicopter attacks. “We ended up with a helicopter with a bucket of water on it, but that was a couple of days later.” Mr Bubb said he did not know at the time that a wind change was coming and that there weren’t any mobile phones available to alert everyone. “The worst thing about this fire was that at no time did I know there were heaps of other fires going,” he said. “The Aireys Inlet Fire Station burned
completely to the ground, and we couldn’t get into contact with Lorne.” Ross Girvan was a 22-year-old firefighter with the Aireys Inlet brigade during Ash Wednesday and helped Mr Bubb put out fires along the Great Ocean Road and in Lorne, Anglesea and Aireys Inlet. “Spot fires were landing in the bush above the Great Ocean Road, and we saw houses pretty much catch fire straight away and it was just far too dangerous to do anything,” he said. “We were overwhelmed with the fact that the wind was so strong from the south-west; it was well over 120 kilometres. “We ended up lying on the floor of the trucks to shelter from all the debris that was flying through the air.” Mr Girvan said the brigades left Aireys Inlet and Lorne due to the wind and headed towards Anglesea. “It got to a point where the wind was that strong, we just had to look after ourselves,” he said. “The sound of the wind. I can only compare it to an airport with a plane taking off. “We started to drive to Anglesea, and the petrol in the truck was vaporising, so the truck was running rough. “We couldn’t believe what we were seeing, and we couldn’t believe the weather – never seen anything like it. “The disappointing thing was we tried to do what we could, but it was just too unsafe.” Forest Fire Management Victoria deputy chief fire officer Andrew Morrow said fire authorities had learned lessons from Ash Wednesday and continued to improve how bushfires were controlled. “It is important to mark and remember events like this to pay respect to survivors, families of those that lost a loved one, and to our emergency responders,” he said. Geelong’s Chris Gray was three years old
when the fires hit Winchelsea and said he remembered being scared of the smoke. “I remember we were throwing buckets of water on our house ... and the sky being a hazy orange,” he said. “I remember seeing the smoke billowing out from the back of the forest from behind the trees. “From there I remember my dad and a few others running around, up and down the streets doing house checks.” Surf Coast Shire Council community life general manager Gail Gatt said the Ash Wednesday events had shaped the Surf Coast and surrounding communities. “The full social, community, emotional, economic and environmental impact of Ash Wednesday on our region could never be truly measured,” she said. “It is important for us to remember what occurred and what was lost on such an epic scale, including three precious lives. “We also use these experiences to inform us about the risks we still live with and to help us develop and implement new approaches to planning and emergency response and recovery.” The Country Fire Authority will hold a special ceremony to remember the day this Sunday at the Bushfire Education Centre in Cockatoo, which will also be available live online. The Anglesea Historical Society will also hold an event on Sunday from 2pm at the Anglesea Hotel, with Mr Bubb as a guest speaker. Additional anniversary commemoration events will be held on the official anniversary, February 16, with a 10am presentation at the Anglesea Fire Station and at the Aireys Inlet Hall at noon. Anyone in need of support can contact Lifeline on 131 114 or Beyond Blue on 1300 224.

MY GEELONG John McGlynn enjoys working as a director and teacher at Screenactors Geelong. He spoke with Jena Carr about what he loves most about Geelong and where he lives.
What do you like about where you live? I live in Barwon Heads it’s a unique place surrounded by water with the river, Lake Connewarre and the ocean beaches encircling the town. Its always had a village atmosphere with a very strong sense of community. It’s been a great family place to raise our three kids. What, if anything, would you change about where you live? If I had a wish I would stop the development of the town and keep it to the size it is. The place is liable to become the new Noosa Heads and lose its charm. Where is your favourite place to spend time? I like riding my mountain bike with friends along the trails to the Dunes coffee shop in Ocean Grove and having a coffee while checking out the ocean. What is something people may not know about you? In the 80s I worked and surfed at King Island. I
worked as an underground miner for a couple of years. It was amazing surfing beaches that no one knew about in total isolation. What led you to working with Screenactors Geelong? I ended up in the 90s going to study at the film and television school in Sydney which led me into working in the industry as a freelance director. I worked in Melbourne at Channel 7 and then in San Francisco in California. Once we had kids we looked in Australia for a place that was similar to California and settled on Barwon Heads. After a few years of commuting to Melbourne to work I decided to follow in the footsteps of the Mill theater experiment and capitalise on my experience in California by setting up an American method acting school in Geelong. Before long we were training actors who were appearing in film, TV shows and TV commercials. What do you enjoy the most about your work? It’s fun because you see the actors improving in class to a point where they suddenly start to get roles and be seen on screen. A lot of young actors start off in acting class and cross into the production side. We have had one young actor who was in the main cast of Neighbours for many years and went on to become a director on the show. The most enjoyable aspect these days is when actors who were training with us many years ago who are now adults tell me what an important part of their lives Screenactors was and how much they enjoyed it.

What is your connection to Geelong? I was born in the Geelong Hospital. l went to primary school at St Margaret’s in East Geelong, then to the Gordon and Deakin University. I used to go with our family to watch the Cats play at Kardinia Park in the 1960s. In the 70s, I spent most of my time surfing through coastal beaches and enjoying the waves at Bells and Winki Pop. I was lucky to be a part of the fantastic Mill Theatre drama experiment that took place in Geelong in the late 70s.

This series is celebrated for its inspirational storytelling in remote communities and townships around Australia and tonight, in its ninth season, the Northern Territory’s Tennant Creek gets the chance to spotlight its best side. Fearnley has a way with words and connecting with the locals as he discovers the heartening side to a town that has often been associated with crime. He meets an informal group of artists, known as the Tennant Creek Brio, uncovering a non-judgemental community along the way.
The Beatles reminded us all that all we need is love, and what better thing to do than look at the world through rose-coloured glasses? After Croatians Andela and Davor Rostuhar married, they felt so loveydovey that they decided to spend their “honeymoon” gallivanting around the world interviewing other couples about love. They spent a year getting to know 130 couples in 30 different countries, with most of the footage taking place inside the lovers’ homes. It’s an intimate, gentle and moving set of portraits, with Andela and Davor crafting a love letter to, well, love; the whole viewing experience, from the camera work, editing and interviewing, was all done themselves.

A rock ‘n’ roll adventure By Jena Carr The Sons of Sun is looking to take audiences on a rock ‘n’ roll adventure this month at Drysdale’s Potato Shed. Co-writer Kieran Carroll said the show followed the story of record producer Sam Phillips, portrayed by actor Matt Charleston, who was the first person to produce iconic musicians like Elvis and Johnny Cash. “One thing we highlight with the show is that everybody knows those famous artists and they know some of their songs … but they don’t necessarily know the story behind it and the man who helped create those sounds and get
everything organised,” Mr Carroll said. “There are some other artists that people don’t know so well, or they have forgotten, that are highlighted too. “Another aspect of it that I was really interested in was that Sam Phillips had a fellow worker with him, Marion Keisker, and in a sort of a male-dominated world at that time, she was quite incredible. “In Memphis in the 1950s, she ran an all-female radio station where no men were involved. She was quite a pioneer too and between them they were just a powerhouse combination to create all that music,” he said. Mr Carroll said the show’s concept was
created by Sydney musician John Kennedy and featured songs from the 1950s Sun Studios catalogue. “There are 35 songs in the show and it’s a fantastic stage band,” he said. “The three actors Matt Charleston, Victoria Beck, and Ben Maclaine do a beautiful job in exploring the story of Sam Phillips and Sun Records.” Mr Carroll said the show featured three actors and a three-piece stage band, which included the original Red Wiggle Murray Cook, to help bring the story to life. Sons of Sun will come to the Potato Shed on February 25 at 8pm, and tickets are available on the venue’s website.
Kingswood makes up for lost time Iconic Melbourne rock band Kingswood are coming to Geelong’s Barwon Club Hotel Saturday, February 18 as part of a massive 60-show national tour. Kingswood are touring to promote their forthcoming album, Home, which will be released on February 24, and travel from Castlemaine to Cairns and Mullumbimby to Margaret River in an attempt to cover the length and breadth of Australia. Coming hot on the heels of their 2022 tour of Europe, this national tour will see Kingswood rack up 93 shows between September 2022 and June 2023. With the Barwon Club the band’s 18th stop on their nationwide trek, Kingswood’s guitarist and main songwriter Alex Laska said the expansive 2023 tour was the band’s first opportunity in a long time to reconnect with its regional fans. “Part of the philosophy behind this tour is that we’ve been away from all these towns that really solidified and fortified Kingswood’s development as a band over the years, and now that we’ve got the opportunity we’re absolutely making up for lost time,” he said. “When things develop for a band you get on these necessary paths and people require things from you. And then we had plans for a big regional tour, but then COVID happened. “So now we’re touring our hearts out, as far and wide as we can possibly go.” While Kingswood began with a strong identity as a rock and roll band and has always retained that element of its sound, the group has maintained a pattern of incorporating new sounds with each release. Often, a new album has displayed heavy influences from a specific genre, such as the soul-inspired tracks from 2017’s After Hours, Close to Dawn and their 2020 Christmas album. The singles released so far for Home are no different; Burning Holes, released late in 2022, is an alt-country ballad, while 2023’s Good Whiskey and One Too Many Times are unapologetic examples of Americana and southern rock, respectively.

Laska said though Kingswood’s current live shows were leaning heavily on their new country-inspired material, the band were playing a mix of tunes from all of their albums. “The beauty of having six studio albums is you’re in that dream position where you can
pull the greatest hits from the oldies but really showcase new stuff as well,” he said. “And we’ve released these singles to make it feel like Home is more alt-country/Americana, but really, there’s a whole lot of rock and roll on this record.”
Enjoy a slice of Americana on the Bellarine A new boutique mini festival is set to take place in Ocean Grove on February 12. Americana On The Bellarine is a newcomer as far as events go, one which celebrates the fusion of genres of blues, roots, folk, country, bluegrass, rock and even gospel; or Americana music, as it is often referred to. Ocean Grove singer/songwriter Andrea Robertson originally had grand plans for this event to take place in mid-2020 and plans to do so were well-underway but COVID came along and spoiled the party. Like many other musicians, Robertson decided to go ahead and run the event as a livestream in July 2020, creating a link for people to donate to rather than charging a fee,
Leading Ladies’ Lucy Durack said she was excited to perform musical theatre classics.
and splitting the proceeds between the five artists involved. “It gave me a focus, a purpose for my music, and the opportunity to reach out to other artists and audiences at the same time,” Robertson says of the online event. This livestream event, along with a number of others Robertson organised during COVID, brought a lot of joy to music-lovers during a long, bleak lockdown, and in turn, those music-lovers were generous with their support and appreciation. A couple more attempts to run the event were impacted by further outbreaks and snap lock-downs. Fast forward to 2022, an opportunity
came along to apply for funding through Creative Victoria and Robertson’s pitch was successful. With it, her vision to run Americana On The Bellarine as a live, face-to-face, ticketed event will finally become a reality this Sunday. Americana On The Bellarine will feature an impressive line-up of some of the region’s finest song-writers and story-tellers including Sarah Carroll, Alister Turrill, Annie-Rose Maloney, Nathan Seeckts and Robertson herself, all artists with strong connections to the Bellarine region. The boutique mini festival will be at BrewiColo in Ocean Grove. Tickets: trybooking.com/CFDNQ
Leading Ladies and John Foreman is coming to Geelong’s Costa Hall for one night of songs, stories, laughs and triumphs. Lucy Durack is one of the three Leading Ladies and said she was excited to perform in the show next Friday with “two absolute icons of the Australian and International stage”. “The show is head-to-toe, wall-to-wall musical theatre hits with two of my absolute idols, Caroline O’Connor and Silvie Paladino, who I have looked up to my entire career and I’m so excited that I’m going to sing with them,” she said. “To be able to sing with both of them at the same time, it’s definitely a dream come true.” Mrs Durack said the show contained musical theatre hits from the 80s through to today and that they were “spoiled for choice” with what material to include. “There’s going to be so many musical theatre numbers and we’re going to be singing songs that we have sung throughout our careers and then some songs that we’ve dreamt of singing but never had the chance,” she said. “There will be songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber, Wicked, Les Misérables and Chicago and a little mini tribute to Judy Garland. The show will also feature John Foreman’s 30-piece Australian Pops Orchestra. Mrs Durack said she loved collaborating with Mr Foreman and was excited to bring the show to Geelong. “John is fantastic, not only is he such a fantastic conductor, but he’s also just a brilliant host,” she said. “He’s got such a knack for being funny and witty, moving things along nicely, and just keeping a calm head on his shoulders. “Any chance I ever have to get to Geelong, I always grab with both hands. “I just love it in Geelong, I’m really at home there and it’s also a beautiful performing space and just a lovely community,” Mrs Durack said. She said the show would be perfect for anyone who loves musical theatre and classical music. “It will be a real feast for anyone who likes musical theatre and classic musical theatre,” Mrs Durack said. Tickets are available on the Geelong Arts Centre website or by calling the Box Office on 1300 251 200. Jena Carr Friday, 10 February, 2023 GEELONG INDEPENDENT 19

ENVIRONMENT
Fingers crossed for hoodie chick I did a few shifts looking after the hooded plover chick on the spit at 19W and it’s been lovely to stand on the quiet beach for a few hours watching the ships go through the Port Phillip Heads and crested terns diving for fish in the shallows. There are two hooded plover hatchlings at Point Lonsdale as well as one on the spit and these birds should fledge over the next week unless a predator manages to intervene. Fingers crossed this does not eventuate. I want to thank the volunteers that dedicate their time to looking after the hooded plovers, plus all the beach goers and dog walkers that heed the signs on the beach to allow them space to feed and rest within their habitat. I was driving to work past Barwon Heads Airport and saw a little eagle soaring over Stacey’s Road. Little Eagles are small eagles that have an M-shaped band on the underwing that resembles that of the whistling kite, but the little eagle has a shorter tail, and dark, rusty coloured leading edge to the wings. I always love spotting little eagles as these birds are becoming less common around the Bellarine and numbers are now listed as vulnerable in New South Wales. Luckily a few Independent readers have emailed me their observations and photos from their escapades around the Bellarine Peninsula. Alan has been walking around Blue Waters
Jen’s tawny frogmouth in Wallington. Right: Jen’s little eagle at Barwon Heads Airport (top); Carole’s picture of migratory birds at Lake Victoria.
Lake in Ocean Grove and reported that two tawny frogmouth chicks have fledged and the family can usually be seen roosting around the willow trees. Alan looked at the nest and observed that it was a very flimsy pile of twigs, so the young birds did well not to fall out of the nest during the hatchling stage. In a similar location at the lake there’s another nest with three white-faced heron chicks that look nearly fully grown and ready to fledge. Alan is not sure whether it’s the same pair that nested at the west end a few months ago. Also, the willie wagtails have nested again around the lake but have made their nest in the same tree as previously but up a branch higher.
A pair of magpie larks have constructed another nest in a willow right over the path at the west end and Alan watched them build the last part of it and described the birds as artisans as they smoothed out the rim with the flat part under their beak. It seems the old nests are unoccupied so they must build a new nest each time. The summer rains have contributed to a bumper breeding year on the Bellarine. I received an email from Robyn, who lives in Wallington. She noticed a pair of tawny frogmouths in a big gum tree at the back of her house that have been there for at least a week and do not seem at all worried by people looking at them. Robyn invited me to come over and take a
look and I jumped at the invitation and was blown away by the beauty of her property, which has a yellow gum forest and a healthy wetland- it was just stunning. I received an email from local birder extraordinaire Carole, who had made a few trips to Lake Victoria, near Point Lonsdale and saw a mass of interesting birds. Some of the species that Carole observed were yellow-billed and royal spoonbills, sharp-tailed sandpipers, a curlew sandpiper, banded stilts, a pink-eared duck, Australian shelduck, Pacific ducks and grey and chestnut teals. Carole recommends a visit to Lake Victoria and I hope to get down there myself at some stage.

MOTOR
Velar oozes comfort and luxury By Chris Riley Wow. It’s been more than four years since we last drove Range Rover’s Velar and not much has changed. Named the most beautiful car in the world in 2018, the name Velar comes from a series of pre-production Range Rovers in 1969. They’ve just updated the range with the addition of a plug-in hybrid that adds 53km of electric-only range -- but other than that it all looks familiar. In terms of size, Velar sits between Evoque and Sport, and shares a platform with cousin the Jaguar F-Pace. Interestingly, although they all come with all-wheel drive, it lacks low range gearing, so any off-road adventures are limited. In fact, it says something about the car, because Velar is a car that’s more about comfort and luxury than getting it dirty. Land Rover sold 4348 vehicles here last year, 319 of them Velars. Not many you might think, but more than the Discovery and Range Rover put together. It’s biggest seller? The Defender (it’s new of course).
AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE Velar R-Dynamic S P250, $96,600 Velar R-Dynamic SE P250, $98,900
Styling
Velar R-Dynamic SE P400, $125,200
Check out the burnished copper-coloured bling. It’s an interesting shape that presents differently from different angles. The downside of the steeply raked windscreen and sloping roof line is a trade off in space for style. The front and rear look the business, but in profile it’s long, skinny and torpedo-like, and not quite in proportion. The door handles sit flush with the body and pop out when the car is unlocked, but it is the old-style system with a small, finger-operated button to initiate the process. Notice I didn’t say ’thumb’ because the button is located on the right-hand side of the handle - I guess it works for left-handed people. You’d think after nigh on six years, it would be time for a makeover? And, as we went to press, JLR revealed pics and details of a new model which made its worldwide entrance on the TikTok social media platform. The redesign is described as minimalist, but frankly the new model looks just like the current one. The big changes can be found in the cabin where twin touchscreens have made way for a single 11.4-inch curved screen that controls everything, in line with other family members. Land Rover is taking orders now, but there is no indication at this stage of when those orders will be filled. The current range kicks off with the four-cylinder R-Dynamic S P250 and SE P250, priced from $96,600 and $98,900 respectively, followed by the six-cylinder SE P400 MHEV ($125,200) and HSE P400 MHEV ($136,700), with the plug-in hybrid P400e PHEV ($138,800) -- all of them petrol-based. One diesel model is offered, the Edition D300 MHEV, priced from $122,900.

Driving
Infotainment comes courtesy of a 10.0-inch pivoting touchscreen and the Pivo Pro operating system, with Bluetooth, Alexa voice control, built-in navigation, AM/FM/DAB radio, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, plus a 12-month pre-paid data plan. No mention of wireless phone charging, but there’s 1 x USB-A and 1 x USB-C (Charge and connect) in the first row and 2 x USB-C and a 12-volt power socket in the second row. A 400-watt Meridian audio system with 12 speakers is standard. HSE ups this to 3D surround sound, with 750 watts and 17 speakers.

roads and muddy farm driveways won’t be a problem. And, finally, unless you’re into tech, you’re probably not going to like it much because just about everything is controlled from one of two touchscreens. Is it worth $150K? Some people think so. Only you can be the judge.

systems (SAS). The safety rating is due to expire in September. There’s also blind spot assist, rear traffic monitor, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition and adaptive speed limiter, adaptive cruise control with steering assist, driver condition monitor and a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Head-up display surprisingly remains a $2420 option. A 360-degree camera is optional but unavailable because of supply problems. With seating for five occupants, some may find the cabin a bit claustrophobic, especially in the back. With high sides and dash, together with narrow windows, you feel like you’re looking over the top. Rear legroom is limited too. The rotary gear selector has been replaced in the latest model by the same low-profile selector that can be found in the Jaguar F-Pace that we drove recently. The usual plethora of knobs and switches have been absorbed by the seriously impressive centre console with its two, double-decker touchscreens. The system is generally easy to use. The top screen controls such items as audio, phone and navigation, while the bottom screen adjusts functions like the air suspension and off-road modes. We spent a good five minutes trying to figure out how to switch from miles to kilometres for navigation. In the end, we gave up, just like the last person obviously did. Our test vehicle was fitted with a fully digital instrument cluster that can be configured the way you like it - two dials, a single dial or wall to wall navigation. The P400 dispatches the dash from 0-100km/h in a rapid 5.5 seconds and has a top speed of 250km/h. It features an electric supercharger supported by a twin scroll turbocharger and Continuous Variable Valve Lift (CVVL). Air suspension is standard along with Adaptive Dynamics damping technology. Ground clearance is normally 205mm, but pumping it up for a bit of farm action takes that figure to 251mm and it is able to safely tackle water up to 580mm in depth.

Ocean Grove scores stunning upset LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers There was plenty of movement in team ladder positions in Tennis Geelong’s Section 2 Men this week as things get more competitive as we head toward finals. Ocean Grove got itself off the bottom of the ladder with a 6-0 win over Hamlyn Park, reversing the 5-1 loss it suffered in the teams’ last meeting. The Park seemed shell-shocked winning only 10 games for the day, although it came close to getting on the board in the third set, going down in a tie break. Geelong Lawn pushed itself into the four with a 5-1 win over Geelong East Uniting, relegating the home team back to sixth. Lawn toughed it out in the first two sets with Steve McGann and Toby Lawrence winning 7-5 while Michael Collins and Kyale Maccoll took their set 6-4. Lawn continued its winning run in the third
and fourth set taking those 6-1 and 6-0, then McGann and Maccoll claimed their third set for the day winning 6-4, before Uniting’s Sean Olsen and Rod Davies won the final set 6-2. Moolap Black moved into third this week behind second placed Moolap Yellow, with only percentage separating the club rivals, when Black won their grudge match this week. Black set up with a good start in the opening sets with Jeffrey Bacareza and Abbie Figuracion taking the first 6-3 and John Domugho and Joshua Simic the second 7-5. From there the match was evenly poised with Sam King and Kyle Beattie putting Yellow on the board with their 6-3 win while Figuracion and Simic kept Black ahead winning 6-4. Beattie and Riley Kotic did their best to help Yellow, taking the final set 6-1, but with Black’s Bacareza and Simic getting through 6-1 in the fifth, Black won the day four sets to two by only four games. The closest match of the day saw Western Heights Uniting almost upset ladder leaders
Waurn Ponds, but fell two games short when the teams tied at three sets all. The match remained close all day with the teams alternating sets. Jeff Smith and Andrew Ryan opened Uniting’s account with a 6-4 win in the first while Jack Tolley and Ben Rankin put the Ponds ahead by a game winning 6-3 in the second. Smith teamed with John Hambrook in the third to put Uniting ahead with a 6-2 win, before Mikaela Mullen paired with Jack Tolley to take the third for the Ponds 6-2. The final sets were hard fought with Tano-Li Quach and Ben Rankin putting the Ponds ahead with their 6-3 win, and while Uniting’s Ryan and Hambrook won the last 6-4, it left the team just short of the win. With three rounds to go, it seems Waurn Ponds has the minor premiership in hand with a 13 game lead, but with only three points separating Moolap’s Yellow and Black, Geelong Lawn and Western Heights Uniting the final four is far from decided.
Di Warren in action for Queenscliff in Division 2.
Queenscliff pull off strong win Queenscliff took a stranglehold on third spot on the Geelong Bowls Region Saturday Pennant ladder with a strong win against Ocean Grove 2 on Saturday, February 4. The 25-shot win secured all 16 points for Queensclif, which is now 36 points ahead of fourth placed Eastern Park. Ray Butler and Steve Sullivan enjoyed 12-shot wins while Benjamin Ruseell had to work very hard against Rod Brehaut to grab a one-shot win. The loss sees Ocean Grove 2 just 12 points from last spot on the ladder. Highton stayed on top of the ladder, but was forced to dig deep against Bareena. Dan Priddle won his rink by plenty and Scott McLachlan prevailed by six, but Ian Hosken led Christopher Holt, Martin MacKenzie and Ryan Jones to a 10-shot win for Bareena to salvage a couple of points. Despite the loss, Bareena is still in finals contention with fifth placed Drysdale dropping points again. Bell Post Hill did Bareena a favour by
knocking off Drysdale by six to register its fourth win of the season. Despite John Fry winning by 12, Bell Post Hill was well served on the other rinks by Ben Toner and Darryl Washington. Ocean Grove 1 took all 16 points from Eastern Park in a 62 to 40 win. Pete Loe and Bradley Pavey had good wins, but Matt Flapper’s rink had to work extra hard to shrug off Vince Chapman to win by one. The Grovers are only eight points behind Highton in second place while the Parkers are fourth. City of Geelong won game number six for the season with a 14-shot triumph against Lara. Sandra Tillson, Zane Lugg and Nicholas Craven all had narrow, but gritty, wins. Finals aren’t out of the question for City, with Bareena, Queenscliff and Eastern Park to come in the final three rounds. This week’s match of the round features Highton (1st) playing Queenscliff (3rd) at Highton.

Karrie Webb ready to hit off in Vic Open Having proved she still has what it takes to win big-time golf tournaments, evergreen Karrie Webb shapes as a genuine contender at the Vic Open. The seven-time major winner claimed her maiden senior title in style last year when she beat fellow Hall of Famer Annika Sorenstam by four shots to salute at the Senior LPGA Championship in Kansas. The challenge for the 48-year-old will be much different over the next four days at 13th Beach against the likes of another former world No.1, Jiyai Shin from South Korea, a host of Australia’s best young stars including Su Oh and Grace Kim and LPGA Tour regulars Sarah Jane Smith and Sarah Kemp. “To win, it really doesn’t matter what the quality of the field is and when I say quality of field, it’s always viewed on world rankings,” Webb said. “There’s so much talent in this field. “It might not be names that everyone knows, but there are tons of talented players here. “It’s about being sharp enough and playing well enough for four straight days and I haven’t done tons of four-round events in the past three years. “But anything is possible. “I hope that I put myself up there with a chance to win - I’d love that opportunity, I’d love to be in the hunt. “When I did win the Senior LPGA last year it was the first time I had the chance to win a tournament for quite a few years. “I just love the feeling of that and being back in that situation.” Webb will play alongside the 34-year-old Shin for the opening two rounds, allowing the pair to reprise their classic duel at the 2008 Australian Open, when the Australian triumphed in a sudden-death playoff. “I couldn’t believe it when I saw that,“ said Webb. “It’s gone quite quickly when you think about it. “Jiyai was just up and coming at that stage and now she’s a world veteran - she’s won majors and played on the LPGA and is now doing well on the JLPGA.“ One notable absentee this week is reigning Vic Open champion Hannah Green, who will instead play in next week’s $US5 million ($A7.2m) Saudi Ladies International where the winner will pocket $US750,000 ($A1.1m). The prize pool is the seventh highest in women’s golf and dwarfs the combined $A840,000 on offer for the men’s and women’s Vic Opens which will again run concurrently on the 36-hole layout at Barwon Heads. The Vic Open men’s field includes Australians David Micheluzzi, Mathew Goggin, Elvis Smylie and Ryan Ruffels. Former junior prodigy Ruffels will be making his first start on home soil in four years.

SPORT The Lions roar into flag contention East Belmont handed North Geelong its first loss of the season and announced itself as a GCA premiership contender on Saturday, February 4. The Lions batted first at Osborne Park and found the going tough against a disciplined North Geelong attack. Shane McNamara continued his outstanding season with a patient 55 from 131 deliveries before he was run out from a direct hit at mid-on by Mitchell Troy. Luke Inglis chipped in with an unbeaten 44, and the Lions were able to lift the final up to 5-161. North Geelong never got going in its run chase, falling for 108 with a lower order 38 from Troy the only shining light. Dylan Moroney (3-20), Noah Quick (3-7) and Jack Jenkins (2-13) made sure of the win for East Belmont.
The Lions are nine points clear of Grovesale in second place, while North Geelong remains a game and percentage ahead on top. Highton put on a run party at Bisinella Oval, Lara, where it made a hefty 3-352. James Gillard smashed an unbeaten 103 from just 82 balls while openers Greg Willows (93) and Andrew Murden (79) shared a 169-run stand. Zac Wills finished off the innings with a nice 51 not out. Lara struggled for momentum in its run chase as Nathan McCoach, Hayden Murrell, Hayden Burns and Greg Willows snared two scalps each. The win was Highton’s first of the season and it is only one game behind Lara on the ladder. St Joseph’s won a cliffhanger against South Barwon at Zampatti Oval. Batting first South Barwon managed 9-196
with Ryan Gibson (50) and Banjo Dyer (42) in good form, but the Joeys attack worked together with all six bowlers used taking at least one wicket. Austin Humphrey was the most successful with 3-46. St Joseph’s started well when it was its turn to bat with Andrew Casey (50) and Luke Ibbs (40) looking comfortable, but Bryson Nicholls (4-24) and Nick Platt (3-36) started to turn the game in South Barwon’s favour. With two wickets remaining and scores level with one over to go, Humphrey scored two off the first ball to give Joeys a stirring win. No play was possible in the Newtown & Chilwell vs Grovedale game in what promised to be a cracking contest between third and fourth on the ladder.
Titans close in on finals Armstrong Creek went another step closer to playing finals in its debut BPCA A1 Grade season with consecutive victories against Ocean Grove. Needing 130 for victory on day two of the round 12 clash on Saturday February 4, the Titans had to work hard, but won with five wickets and 23 overs to spare. Two quick wickets to Taylor Harvey and some top seam bowling from Mick Thornton had the Titans at 3-27 and needing a partnership. Then at 5-71, Ocean Grove had a sniff, but Brandon Ross made an unbeaten 36 and Daniel Maclean 22 not out to get Armstrong Creek home and up into fifth place. The loss probably spells the end of Ocean Grove’s finals hopes. Jan Juc defeated Anglesea in a thriller to hold onto fourth place on the ladder. Anglesea was chasing 205 and Ty Norman (56) and Brett Venables (41) again found themselves among the runs. But the Seas went from 2-125 to 8-163 with only Ash Poulton (43 not out) looking like winning it for the reigning champions.

8-120, but went on to score 174 with Brydon Barnett (40) top scoring and excellent contributions from numbers nine, 10 and 11 Nathan Findlay (17 not out), Finn Peel (18) and Brad Greenwood (13). Shanaka Kethbevilage and Brian White took three wickets each for the Saints, who have improved greatly since the break. Queenscliff won a thriller against Inverleigh and guaranteed itself a finals spot. Defending just 116, the Coutas won by five runs with veteran left-arm seamer Tony Hanafin taking 4-18 from 18 overs. In A2 Grade, Drysdale passed another test by chasing down Portarlington’s 197. Nick Hallam (45), Blake Dobbin (43) and Lachie Wilson (40) got the Hawks home despite the best efforts of Tom Stewart, who took 3-39. Winchelsea moved up to third on the ladder and with a bye and Newcomb to come, pretty much guaranteed a finals spot. Collendina managed only 117 in reply to Winch’s 203 as Matt Partridge dominated with the ball to take 5-30 while John Mansbridge took three early wickets. Barwon Heads smashed Wallington by 137 runs with Sam Schaller the star, bowling 21 overs for his 2-23.
Geelong’s Tanielle Knight is looking to use her experiences and leadership in her last under-age basketball championship. Knight will this month represent the Victorian women’s team at the under-20 national championships alongside Wyndham teammate Dyani Ananiev. For Knight, it’s an opportunity she is looking forward to. She’s been part of the state program since under-16s. “It’s very exciting,” she said. “I’m really keen to mentor the young girls being top age and showing them the ropes. “I’m very excited to be a leader in the side. I’m sad [it’s the last one], it’s something I will miss. The Victorian teams have a good record at the championships, and Knight is hoping that they continue it. She said it hadn’t been the smoothest preparation for the championships, but they know what they need to do. “The big key is to play defence,” she said. “Our defence is going to be the key to us winning games and if you have defensive pressure, the offensive will follow.“ Knight is keen to bring some of her experience and tools that she has learned at Wyndham to the national championships. She said one of the biggest things she had learned at Wyndham was making sure that her and her teammates were held accountable to each other both at training and in games and coach Gerard Hillier has had a big influence. Knight said the decision to join Wyndham had been the right one for her career. She was part of Wyndham’s youth league and state championship sides, which both made grand final series. The state championship side claimed the Big V title. “That is an experience that I will never forget,” she said of last year. “I was very shocked to make the state championship team, it was very exciting.” Knight will play for Wyndham this season again, before she heads off to America to go to college in August. She said they needed to continue what they were doing last year and continue to be accountable. It’s been a big 12 months for Knight, who was also invited to Canberra with the best under-19 players in the country last March. It just shows how far she has come in a short period of time. “I only started playing basketball at the bottom age 16s, top age under-14s,”she said. “It all happened pretty quickly.” Knight said her aim was to eventually play division 1 college basketball in America, before long term aiming to play in the Women’s National Basketball League.
