Bellarine Secondary College students Laura, Hannah, Emily and Seth get among the tomatoes at the school’s farm. (Ivan Kemp) 325196_03
School farm project grows By Justin Flynn A pilot project to run a self-sustainable farm for Bellarine Secondary College is set to be launched early next month. Farm My School was initially created by James McLennan and Ben Shaw about four years ago as a way to transform unused school land at the college into regenerative market gardens. The project has escalated to the point where the co-founders employ a farmer and the produce is offered as food boxes to parents and staff and provides fresh produce to the
school’s Drysdale campus canteen and food tech classes. The pilot project will run with help from Bellarine Community Health Network and will support classes in agriculture, science and geography. Farmer Nina Breidahl is employed four days a week. Mr McLennan and Mr Shaw have been inundated with requests from other schools to do something similar, but said they want to get the pilot project at Bellarine Secondary right first. School principal Wayne Johannsen said the farm was “challenging kids’ perceptions of
what they are eating”. It’s debatable whether the campus stadium is more popular on Wednesday nights for its basketball or the school’s farmers market. The market sells produce direct from the school farm to the public. “Some people turned up asking where the basketball stadium was but that they were only here for the vegies,” Mr Johannsen said. Mr Johannsen said the school’s food classes were sourcing vegetables through their own farm rather than through the major supermarkets. “Students go home and say ‘I can cook dinner because I made it with a recipe today
with vegetables from our garden’,” he said. Mr Johannsen said the farm was an equal three-way partnership between the school, Bellarine Community Health and Farm My School. “We’ve had such support all over,” he said. “We met with Barwon Water and they’ve made some in-kind donations already in terms of irrigation. Dirt Shift Excavations Moolap are donating time and machinery to sculpt the land around it.” The project will launch with a festival on April 6, with local music, guest speakers and food trucks.

Skier fined for filming teenager A Paralympian turned physiotherapist has avoided a conviction after filming a half-naked teenaged patient. Cameron Rahles-Rahbula, 39, has a decorated past as an alpine skier, having competed in four Paralympics and taken home two bronze medals from the 2010 Winter Paralympics at Vancouver. He became qualified as a physiotherapist in 2007, and in recent years began treating students at Geelong Grammar School – where he was formerly a student – as a football physiotherapist. A senior student in 2021 became suspicious of Rahles-Rahbula when he was treating her neck and back during an appointment.
She noticed a mobile phone propped up against a tissue box with a wallet supporting it after re-dressing herself, and wondered if Rahles-Rahbula could have placed it there while she was facedown. When the appointment ended, the Paralympian walked out of the room and she checked the phone to find it was recording. Rahles-Rahbula insisted in Geelong Magistrates Court he must have accidentally hit record on his phone, and the device was on its side to get better reception as the room had poor signal. He was tidying up equipment when he placed his phone on a table, and was monitoring his diary on the device through the day, he said. Rahles-Rahbula unlocked his phone to
find a camera page open, which he thought was unusual, and deleted the recording after seeing a thumbnail for it, he said. He had no idea what the video was, but realised it was accidental regardless, he told the court. Magistrate Simon Guthrie noted videos started playing once a phone user selected a thumbnail, and said it would have been obvious to Rahles-Rahbula that he recorded a consultation. “There is no doubt in my view that is what you expected to find,” Mr Guthrie said. Rahles-Rahbula knew if he deliberately committed such an act, it could mark his reputation for the rest of his life, the court was told. Mr Guthrie found the Paralympian guilty
Brave Evie inspires CFA fundraising This year the Lara Fire Brigade will be a part of the Good Friday Appeal for the first time, all because of a young girl named Evie. In March 2022, Evie, then six years old, was rushed to Geelong hospital with breathing difficulties before being transferred to the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH) with complications relating to a complex case of pneumonia. Evie underwent surgery to drain the fluid around her lungs while her father Ashley Blain, who has been volunteering with the CFA since early 2007 and is now a second lieutenant with Lara Fire Brigade, waited alone nervously. “We were expecting our brave little girl to go in for a complex but routine surgery, only to get the call saying she’d been intubated and taken to the intensive care unit (ICU),” Mr Blain said. “This was possibly one of the worst situations imaginable for us as parents. “My wife Sarah was home in Geelong with our youngest daughter Georgia, so I was alone at the hospital and so scared for what was happening.” Mr Blain said the care and support RCH nurses, doctors, support staff and volunteers gave them was amazing and he and his wife could not thank them enough. “From the nurse that calmed me down when Evie was taken to the ICU, to the doctors that explained complex medical terms in plain language, right through to the support teams that entertained Evie to give us a break from her bedside,” he said. “Evie’s stay was a short one compared to a lot of other children, but the care provided for such a sick little girl, and her scared dad, was brilliant.” Mr Blain said after the ordeal he and as family wanted to do something to help the RCH in its mission. “After this experience, our family knows first-hand how important the Royal Children’s
Evie, Ashley and Georgia Blain. (Supplied)
Hospital is, and we want to give back in any way we can,” he said. “Being a member of the fire brigade, I know the strong connection and history CFA has with the Good Friday Appeal, so I spoke with the brigade Captain to see what we could do.” As a result, Lara Fire Brigade held a
Jan Juc bike park reopens Jan Juc’s revamped Bob Pettitt Bike Park has reopened to riders after being closed since early February for upgrading. The new and improved facility was designed and built in a collaborative partnership between Surf Coast Shire Council and community members including young local riders, Surf Coast Mountain Bike Club, Anglesea Bike Park Committee and local contractor Tim Powell Landscapes. Jan Juc rider Will Semple, 16, said he was thrilled to ride at the bike park he was involved in bringing to life. “We had a brainstorm session and put some rough ideas forward, and they helped with the design,” Will said. “It’s been really cool to see it all happen. Everyone seems to be loving the new park so far.” The shire is inviting the public to celebrate the bike park’s opening at a Surf Coast Youth
event on Friday, March 31 from 4-6pm, which will offer a free barbecue, music, games and more. Councillor Mike Bodsworth praised the community for its involvement in the project. “The community members who participated in the design process are the people who will use the bike park for years to come, so it made sense for them to take the lead,” he said. “The result is a facility to be proud of. Seeing riders of all skill levels navigating the park is fantastic - from more experienced riders who can challenge themselves, to youngsters on their balance bikes with their parents in the beginner section. “Ultimately this project is a great example of passionate and committed locals coming together to take ownership of a space that provides a range of benefits to the wider community.”

of using a device to record a private activity and attempting to produce child abuse material, but did not convict Rahles-Rahbula. The magistrate noted the physiotherapist was a family man and unquestionably “a man of high achievements”, and ordered he pay a $5000 fine and sign a two-year undertaking. He will have to appear before the court again in two years’ time if called upon. The incident might be described as poor judgement, or something that was poorly planned, Mr Guthrie said. Rahles-Rahbula was the Australian flag bearer at the 2014 Winter Paralympics opening ceremony in Sochi and at the 2010 Vancouver Games closing ceremony. He was named Young Victorian of the Year in 2004.
Pool talent on show at Slate Australia’s best pool players will be in Geelong this week to compete for the 2023 Blackball Australia Pool Association National Championships. The event runs from Saturday, March 25 to Saturday, April 1 at Slate Pool Lounge, with national titles up for grabs in singles, doubles and team events. Slate Pool Lounge owner and former Australian snooker champion Johl Younger said he was thrilled to host such an important event on the Australian pool calendar. “We’re super excited to have the event here in Geelong, first and foremost, and as well at Slate Pool Lounge,” Mr Younger said. “It’s the first time I can remember Geelong hosting an Australian pool championship. “It’s blackball, the UK game, which is really gaining popularity. It’s a much more attacking rule set that’s getting really big overseas, purely because it’s better to watch.” Mr Younger said the pool hall had undergone an overhaul ahead of the championships, including bringing in 14 tables made for blackball specifications. “Blackball uses a different table, a futuristic-looking table, they’re beautiful,” he said. The event has attracted over 150 competitors across the various competitions, including current Australian singles champion Mark Cottingham. Matches start daily at 9am, running till late in the evening.

SEWING MACHINES In 1863, a relatively new invention was changing how clothes were made and how women lived and worked. The invention of the ‘modern’ sewing machine in the 1850s meant that clothes started to be mass-produced (and were, therefore, cheaper and more widely available). In the home, women could now make the family’s clothes; in the workshop or factory, women could earn money to supplement the family income. There were two major sewing machine brands available in Geelong. Wheeler and Wilson, an American firm, advertised its lock-stitch sewing machine as “superior to all others”. It boasted that the sewing machine had won a gold medal at the Paris Exhibition in 1861 and another the following year at the Great Exhibition in London. The advertisement went on to say that the machines work equally well on silk, cotton, woollen and linen goods, beading, binding, cording, hemming, tucking, seaming and gathering. The selling agent was S. Cole and Co., Bourke Street, Melbourne. The alternative offered in Geelong was Grover and Baker’s ‘celebrated premium sewing machine’. Also made by an American firm, Grover and Baker,
its machines were (self) described as the best. ‘They are more simple, durable and less likely to get out of order’. The local agents for the machines were Messrs Heath and Cordell, of Malop Street, Geelong. Mrs Fisher, a dressmaker, of Candover Street, Ashby, advertised ‘every description of ladies material, children’s dresses, knicker-bocker suits, Crimean shirts, underclothing etc, made by the sewing machine’. She seems to have had more than one machine. At first she advertised for tackers to tack the cloth in position before the pieces were stitched together with the sewing machines. The following month she advertised for apprentice sewing machinists. It was clear she had a good business going in 1863. And, as the saying goes, success breeds success. Mr J. B. Holdsworth, calling himself a ‘practical machinist’, of Little Malop Street, advertised that he could adjust and repair every type of sewing machine. Orders from the country would be ‘punctually attended to’. This article was provided by the Geelong Historical Society. For enquiries, email admin@ geelonghistoricalsociety.org.au or write C/- P.O.

Melanoma March honours Brett Firefighter Kat Dunell is spearheading Geelong’s Melanoma March in memory of her husband Brett, who died late last year after a years-long struggle with melanoma. The Melanoma Institute Australia’s (MIA) Melanoma March will take place on Saturday, March 25 at Geelong Play Space at Eastern Park Reserve. Kat and her three young children watched their husband and father deal with a stage IV melanoma for the past seven years before he died shortly after Christmas last year. After having a lump on his scalp diagnosed
as melanoma in 2016, Brett was able to manage life well for five years despite the raft of surgical procedures and severe side effects he endured. However, in 2021 a routine scan revealed the cancer had spread to his spine and lungs, changing everything for the family. “Brett’s illness was very tough on our marriage, and he was not himself in the year prior to his death,” Kat said. “But, we were very lucky because I had access to psychologists and wellbeing programs through the fire service. “Brett also struggled with the idea of not
being around for the kids to watch them grow up. With the support of a psychologist, Brett was able to learn how to let go of those feelings to focus instead on what he could do with kids in the time he had left, and I think that really helped his mindset.” The Melanoma March campaign, now in its 12th year, aims to raise $1 million for Australia’s first clinical trial on treating fear of cancer recurrence, focusing on identifying and supporting advanced melanoma patients experiencing fear and anxiety. MIA chief executive Matthew Browne said
the trial would ensure the emotional needs of cancer patients are recognised and addressed as part of their routine clinical care. “Together we can tackle Australia’s tanning culture,” Mr Browne said. “We really need to change the narrative around tanning. Brett’s cancer was 100% preventable. Had he done something when he first noticed this thing on his head, then maybe there would have been a different outcome. “For a man who could physically do anything; it was just awful to see him in this position.”
Foundation’s camp help The Anthony Costa Foundation is partnering with Autistic Camp Australia’s (ACA) Helping Hand program to offer four fully-funded places at ACA’s experiential learning and capacity building camps for autistic young people. The camp places, valued at $8500 each, will be provided to four financially disadvantaged local Geelong and region families. Australian autistic young people face many disadvantages, such as untreated mental health problems, worse employment prospects, education barriers and much higher rates of suicide ideation and attempts. ACA chief officer Rachel Rowe said her organisation aimed to empower autistic young people by focusing on their strengths and help them break mental health crisis cycles. “Creating autistic community is at the heart of all that we do,” Ms Rowe said. “We understand how it feels to be different. For young people attending our capacity building camps, it’s often the first chance at friendship,
and the first step towards mainstream social and community participation. “Our camps are a critical stepping-stone to get them there. And it’s important to me that the opportunity to attend is available to all autistic young people.” With the Anthony Costa Foundation coming on board as a match funding partner, that opportunity is now extended to four more families who otherwise would be unable to attend. “ACA is thrilled to partner with the Anthony Costa Foundation, a like-minded organisation who understands the incredible value of driving life-changing outcomes around mental health and wellbeing, employability, economic participation, education, and ultimately life expectancy.’ Ms Rowe said.

Young Daniel is Casting Dreams All the world’s a stage for Geelong youngster Daniel Lim and he wants to share the spotlight with other young performers helping make their dreams come true as he tells Jena Carr.
A
Geelong resident is helping young people achieve their dreams with performing arts scholarships despite still being in primary school. Daniel Lim was supported by his family, including his mum Jo Cook, to help him achieve his goal of allowing other kids to act, dance or sing through a charity-based business. Daniel is in sixth grade and created Casting Dreams at only 11 years old. He said he wanted to raise money to help young people get into performing arts.

“I started it by wanting a charity, but then we found that it was really hard to do. A few months passed and I said to Mum, ‘I still want to do this’,” he said. “I just want to give other kids the opportunity and happiness I get every time I do acting and dancing classes. “I had a lot of ideas on what I wanted to do with the money. First, I wanted to help kids watch their dream shows. “Then, I was like, what if I get a scholarship for the all the performing arts things I do, and that was what we stuck with.” Daniel said he decided to sell water bottles, keyrings and badges on his website and that the designs came from shows he had performed in.
“Some of the drawings took a few days, I think the shortest amount of time it took to draw one is probably about an hour,” he said. “I thought of the idea to do badges first and then Mum came across the idea of doing keyrings. We got those and then I wanted to sell more things and we looked at water bottles.” Daniel said he had run into a few problems at the beginning of the business and began by singing on the streets to raise money. “All of the money that I raised from busking goes to the Casting Dreams scholarships,” he said. “We found it hard to get a business bank account because people at the bank said, ‘we’ve never done business for an 11-year-old before’. “Then they gave us the wrong bank details, which took about half a month to fix. We ended up getting the business started at about the end of September. “I find it quite easier now because I have a website.” Daniel’s mum Jo said a dentist had already used the original name they had for Daniel’s business, but they eventually found one. “It was a busy couple of months,” she said. “We were home badge making and keyring making, and Daniel spent lots of time doing all the designs. It is nice to see it evolve. “We only started selling all of these in October and have already raised enough by the end of the year to reach out to schools. “I wear his badges all the time. It’s a really big thing to do, and he was thinking about the different ideas he wanted, and his badges and key rings all relate to musical theatre. “It’s been really nice to hear him talk about what he loves and we are so incredibly proud of what he is doing. He has such a big heart.”

Daniel loves to act, sing and dance. He took to the streets to help raise money for people in need. Right: Daniel sells water bottles, badges and keyrings to raise funds.
Daniel said he had received a lot of help from his family, friends, and Geelong performing arts business CentreStage throughout the creation of Casting Dreams. “I had a lot of help from my family members and friends. My brother Matthew helped me design the logo and I asked my whole family for help with the business name,” he said. “We had to research quite a lot, and then we found names, but then we found out that other businesses were called that. “So, we had to keep going, and then we found this one, which we liked. “CentreStage helped me a lot with my business. They let me sell at their shows, which was fun. “It was pretty exciting because I get to talk
about it wherever I go.” Jo said Daniel had received requests from other students to help and had already raised close to $3000 for performing arts scholarships. “He’s been quite thoughtful about the process. He’s given out one confirmed scholarship and one still in the process, with two different schools,” she said. “We threw out lots of different ideas for names related to performing arts or casting and the happiness of it. “When he talked about it with the teachers and with me, he said, ‘I’ve got to be careful because what if a student is still in their early years of high school, and what happens the next year?’. “He’s trying to think about what the program
would be and making sure that the scholarship is not just a one-off. He’s thinking a bit further than even we did. “It’s also inspired others as well. Some other kids have been asking, ‘what can I do or can I help you?’. “One of the students gave him their own pocket money, that was their savings for the year.” Daniel said he loved acting and believed the performing arts were important in maintaining positive mental health. “I think performing arts helps a lot with confidence,” he said. “If you have issues with your mental health, performing arts is a very good way to stop that because you get to do dancing and singing and help push your mind
away from the mental health side.” Daniel said he would like to make Casting Dreams a nationwide business in the future and felt proud to be supported by his family and help people in need. “I’m really passionate about that and I know that people don’t get these opportunities like I do,” he said. “We got a message from the person (scholarship recipient), and they were in tears of happiness because I gave them the opportunity. “It’s amazing that I’ve made someone’s day by doing that.” More information about Daniel and Casting Dreams is available online at casting-dreams. square.site or through his Instagram page, casting_dreams_.

James Harrison’s legacy lives on By Matt Hewson The movement promoting the influence and impact of Geelong’s Scottish-born innovator James Harrison continued to gain steam this week, with a presentation of a working model of one of his original inventions at the Geelong Showgrounds. The event, held by the Royal Geelong Agricultural & Pastoral Society and the Geelong & Region Branch of The National Trust, Victoria (GRBNT), featured a roughly 1:10 scale model of Harrison’s first commercial ether vapour-compression ice-making machine made by engineer Warwick Bryce. French documentary-maker, ARTE TV’s Basile Roze, was in attendance to film the model
for the Invitation au Voyage program, which examines “exceptional destinations”, such as Geelong, “through different perspectives: culture, art, history, customs”. The original steam-driven machine, invented and patented by Harrison in 1850s, pioneered the recycling principles of modern refrigeration, using the evaporative cooling of ether to freeze up to three tonnes of ice a day. Harrison, who founded the Geelong Advertiser, was inspired to harness evaporative cooling when cleaning the metal type used in his printing press with sulfuric ether. He had his ‘Eureka!’ moment when he blew on the ether-cleaned letters, forming ice crystals as the chemical evaporated. Mr Bryce’s model, which he started working
on 20 years ago, uses butane rather than the volatile ether, while today’s residential refrigeration units now mostly use freon. Mr Bryce said Harrison, whose headstone reads “One soweth, another reapeth”, never saw great financial rewards for his pioneering work. “He did all the hard work, but never got rich from it,” Mr Bryce said. “But what he did changed the way we all live.” Harrison’s attempts to sell the ice-making machine and the patent in Britain and Europe were in vain, as the machine’s quickly-cooled ice was cloudy compared to naturally frozen ice used in the 19th century and perceived as impure. Turning to the potential applications of commercial freezing, Harrison organised
the first ever frozen meat shipment from Australia to England, intending to transport 25 tons of frozen meat on the Norfolk to London and intending to present the preserved food to Queen Victoria herself. After investing heavily in the voyage and promoting it widely, Harrison became virtually bankrupt after saltwater breached the insulation tanks around the meat, spoiling it. Lex Chalmers, OAM, chair of the GRBNT City of Design Sub-Committee, agreed with Mr Bryce that Harrison’s contributions deserved more recognition. “We’ve all benefitted worldwide, and as (GRBNT president) Graham Hobbs says, every time you open the fridge for a beer you should say, ‘thanks James’,” she said.
Debut single for talented vocalist “I try to write from a place of vulnerability, and that’s been really challenging for me to move past, but I think it’s most authentic to myself, so I really enjoy that process.” Matthews, 24, studied criminology and psychology at Victoria University before changing paths and pursuing her advanced diploma of music industry (performance) at Geelong’s Oxygen College, which she completed last year. “I just felt like I was not going in the right direction, and now, graduating from music, that was definitely the right choice,” she said. The connections she has made at Oxygen have set her up to be where she is now; gigging regularly, performing in Melbourne at venues such as the Gasometer and teaching singing. Reverie, an alternative RnB tune with hints
of jazz and neo-psych, was recorded at Oxygen with producer Phil Kearney and engineer Travis Dom. “It’s just the three of us, and we collaborate, really,” Matthews said. “I bring in the lyrics and the chords, so the basic song is already written, and I also come in with what instrumentation I want and what I want the song to sound and feel like as well. “That’s super important to me, to bring out specific emotions. Finding the identity of the song is something we work on a lot.” The single precedes Matthews’ debut studio EP, which is set for release on May 5 with a Geelong launch booked at the Piano Bar on July 6.

The act of artistic creation is, almost by definition, a revealing one, exposing parts of the artist themselves in the work. For Mount Duneed vocalist Jasmine Matthews, whose debut single ‘Reverie’ is released on all platforms this week, leaning into that part of songwriting became a necessary part of the process. “It feels very personal, your first release; I’m nervous but I’m also very excited,” Matthews said. “When I started writing ’Reverie’, my process was very different to what it is now. I was thinking more about what audiences would want to hear, but it didn’t feel authentic to me. “So I took a moment to myself and was like, okay, let’s try something different.

Focus on holistic learning Geelong Baptist College primary principal Judy Sobey has an extensive educational background with more than 25 years of teaching and leadership experience in several schools in the Geelong region. She has been the primary principal at the school since 2018. Andrew Liberts is the secondary principal and is new to his role this year, but has been at Geelong Baptist College since 2013. Before going into education, Andrew worked as a journalist, current affairs producer and on breakfast radio in Adelaide and Buffalo, New York. “As a college, we know that the relationship and partnerships that are forged between home and the college are paramount to our
success as parents and educators,” Judy said. “We seek to maximise the teaching and learning opportunities for each child through creating and maintaining safe, happy environments where there is an atmosphere conducive to learning. “As a professional team of educators and administrators we are here to serve in an environment in which teachers have the opportunity to teach and students have the right to learn.” Judy said the core values of the school are synonymous with those of the wonderful families who have chosen to send their children to Geelong Baptist. “As a community our commitment to the holistic development of each child is very important,” she said.

Miriam has high hopes for the future of St Aloysius PS Since becoming principal at St Aloysius Primary Primary School, Queenscliff, in 2022, Miriam Leahy has taken a hands-on, inclusive and stretch based approach. The beauty of working in a small school, with a close knit community, is that even as principal, Miriam still teaches senior art every week, and just went away on grade 5/6 camp to Cape Schank for three days, enjoying swimming, climbing and camping with the kids. This enables her to really know her school community and better plan for the best way to engage them in learning and teaching. With some of the best NAPLAN results over the past five years in the Geelong region and a great outdoor learning program, Miriam has high hopes for the future. Situated between the shores of Swan Bay and Port Phillip Heads, St Aloysius Primary School has offered innovative and engaging classroom and outdoor education for the past 120 years. Miriam herself grew up and went to school on the Bellarine Peninsula so knows first hand how important the local environment is to the community, but also what the other educational needs of young people of this region are today. Miriam’s experience in education has been vast and gives her a wide lens with which to view and plan for learning and teaching at St Aloysius. Her 23-year career has seen her teach overseas, teach English and Drama from year 7 year 12 at Siena College in Camberwell, be president of her local playground, serve as vice president of the school council of her local DET primary school and teach a variety of classes at St Aloysius since moving back to the Bellarine in 2014, before taking on the principalship in 2022. Her commitment to Catholic education has seen her build great pathways for students in

Fitting farewell for chamber CEO The Geelong Cats and Higher Mark hosted a packed After 5 event as the Geelong Chamber of Commerce farewelled outgoing chief executive Ben Flynn. A 350-strong crowd packed into the Geelong Social Club rooms to hear Geelong Cats chief executive Simon Kelleher speak about the club’s 2022 premiership season and its preparations for the 2023 AFL season. Chamber members were also introduced to incoming chief executive Jeremy Crawford,
who spoke about his enthusiasm for working with members of the local business community. Mr Flynn welcomed Mr Crawford to the role. “It was great to hear from Jeremy, and I think one of the greatest things is having that smooth transition from one CEO to another,” Mr Flynn said. “I’m really pleased, the board’s really pleased and they know Jeremy’s going to do a great job.” Having stepped into the role of chief executive in April 2019, Mr Flynn said he had
enjoyed his time as chamber chief executive. “It’s been a real privilege, watching all our members come together during difficult times, supporting each other and supporting the chamber to be able to reach out and make sure we took as many businesses with us throughout the pandemic,” he said. “It was a moment in time that, let’s hope, we never see again. But I’m thankful for the opportunity. “I’ve learnt so much about myself and about
the Geelong ecosystem and feel even more confident these days that Geelong’s in a really good space and looking to continue to grow and thrive. “I want to say a big thank you to everyone for supporting me, and thank you to the board and the team. I leave feeling really buoyant and really proud of what we’ve been able to achieve and really confident in the future.” ■ Pictures: Page 21.
Ford fans flock to event The 32nd annual All Ford Day surpassed its display vehicle record, packing more than 1500 Fords into Eastern Park on Sunday, March 19. The event was a Ford fan’s paradise with vehicles ranging from the latest and greatest in Ford technology, to historic Model T Fords from the early 1900s, and everything in between. The event was a hit with the Ford fanatics with more than 7000 patrons flooding the gates, breaking the event’s previous spectator record. Fans were able to get up close and personal with their favourites and even catch a glimpse of some Ford rarities. “We were hoping for a big crowd this year, but we couldn’t have predicted such a massive turnout from both spectators and the overall Ford community,” event director Nicholas Heath said. “We had a blast hosting such a popular event and hope to continue its success next year.” It wasn’t all about the car lovers, though, as families were able to join in on the fun with
face painting for the kids, a live auction with $7000 worth of motoring experiences and paraphernalia, and numerous traders selling merchandise and memorabilia. Ford fans came from all across the country, with one keen punter driving more than 1200km to attend at Ford’s spiritual home of Geelong. More than 500 cars were judged in one of 36 categories with the biggest winner being Gerry Giuliani, who was awarded the perpetual William Clay Ford Jnr Trophy for his XY GTHO Replica.

When it comes to death or catastrophic injuries, stairs are recently the modus operandi of choice. After Toni Collette’s thriller The Staircase (the title doesn’t beat around the bush) and Keeley Hawe’s Finding Alice (a longtime couple move into their dream home, only for the shiny abode’s stairs to prove deadly), comes this six-part British psychological drama. Jo (Connie Nielsen, Gladiator) must piece together the past year of her life after a horrendous fall down her home’s stairs wipes her memory. Flashbacks and clues ignite a storm of mystery, and everyone including her husband Rob (Christopher Eccleston, pictured with Nielsen) and best friend Cathy (Susan Lynch) must watch their step.
Host Matt Gibb (pictured) travels to diverse locations in regional New Zealand, showcasing three different abodes to couples who are keen to escape the rat race. “The prices seem like a mistake compared to property prices in Auckland. It’s amazing what you can get for your money,” he quips. Viewers in Australian capital cities will be equally shocked by the prices (and the stunning landscapes): get ready to pack your bags. Tonight, he ventures to Waipukurau with Jenny and Dougal, who want a country home with space for their horses.

Nissan wagon finds its own path By Derek Ogden, Marque Motoring
Styling At more than five metres long the new Pathfinder has had its dated hard edges smoothed out, replaced by a thoroughly modern SUV-cum-coupe shape able to take up to eight people in comfort. With black side moulding and body coloured door handles and black painted roof, highlights include chrome window surrounds and silver roof rails. The front carries on the Nissan V-Motion theme with a large grille flanked by LED automatic headlamps, daytime running lights and foglamps. Out back are the slimmest LED tail lamps, plus a high-mounted stop light. Each external rear vision mirror incorporates a turn signal. Privacy glass is fitted to second row and rear windows, while 205 litres of luggage space is let with all seats in place and 54 litres under floor, leaving room only for a temporary spare wheel.
AT A GLANCE MODEL RANGE Pathfinder ST 2WD: $54,190 Pathfinder ST-L 4WD: $61,790 Pathfinder Ti 2WD: $65,910 Pathfinder Ti 4WD: $70,030 Pathfinder Ti-L 4WD: $80,227 The new Nissan Pathfinder discovers new ways to SUV opponents. (Pictures: Supplied)
A Bose 13-speaker premium audio system includes dual subwoofer for AM / FM radio, DAB+ digital radio. USB-A and USB-C points feature throughout the cabin.
Quality fit and finish are trademarks of the cabin. Black leather-accented seat and door trim is joined by a similar set-up steering wheel, the latter with tilt and telescopic adjustment. Up front is a 10-way power driver seat and six-way manual passenger seat. The front and second row outboard positions are heated. Child restraint anchorages with second row outboard seats with ISOFIX and tether, centre seat with tether and third row let side with ISOFIX and tether. The tri-zone climate control air-con comes with second and third row air vents.
Infotainment A 7-inch TFT Advanced Drive-Assist Display instrument cluster is joined by a 10.8-inch head-up and 9-inch touchscreen display with satellite navigation. Wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto are backed up by a wireless smartphone charger, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming and voice recognition.
the essence of the large SUV, with quality, comfort and safety to the fore, on and off road. Versatility is the byword, with nothing to match this, except perhaps the Hyundai Palisade.
Nissan Pathfinder Ti 3.0L 6-cylinder petrol, 9sp automatic, 4x4 SUV
Note: These prices do not include government or dealer delivery charges. Contact your local Nissan dealer for drive-away prices.
Engines / transmissions Nothing to see here! Under the Pathfinder’s bonnet is the same 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine, delivering 202 kW and 340 Nm as before. However, the continuously variable transmission has been given the push in place of a new nine-speed auto. The Pathfinder maintains its 2.7 tonne towing capacity.
TRIO OF INDEPENDENTLY OWNED WORKSHOPS SPECIALISING IN ALL EUROPEAN BRANDS COVID SAFE CONTACTLESS SERVICE
Safety The Ti features front parking sensors, a surround-view monitor and Nissan’s ProPilot semi-autonomous driver assist system that connects the adaptive cruise control with stop / start and lane keeping aid. Other features include autonomous emergency braking with junction, pedestrian and cyclist detection, rear AEB, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot warning and intelligent blind spot intervention, rear seat alert, a driver alert, traffic sign recognition and trailer sway control. Front seat airbags, side airbags (driver and passenger, second row outboard), front row far side airbag (centre), side curtain airbags (all rows) all helped the SUV earn a five-star safety rating recently.
Driving Interior
SPECIFICATIONS
Remote engine start has the Pathfinder firing up for a quick-ish getaway, with cabin insulation keeping the engine, wind and road noise at bay. Shit-by-wire technology is aimed at faster, smoother gearshits. Nissan claims a 10.5 litres per 100 kilometres on the combined urban / highway fuel cycle. The test vehicle recorded 13-plus litres per 100 kilometres in the city and suburbs and 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres on the open road. Nissan engineers have fine-tuned the steering for a sharper response and reworked the suspension for improved levels of damping, increased roll stiffness and wider contact with the road. Overall, the Pathfinder turned in a good performance for such a big unit. Backing up are a range of dial-up drive modes, including Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand, Mud / Rut and Tow.

How things change. Take the Nissan Pathfinder, for example, that over almost 40 years found its way from being a basic two-door compact wagon, through a big boofy 4x4, to the smart, sophisticated seven (or eight) seater sports utility vehicle of today. Originally designed for the North American market, the initial Pathfinder was the first of the segment to be offered in two-wheel drive guise. The fith generation has landed Down Under with new-found modern design and a stack of high-tech features and safety systems, albeit on a platform and with a V6 engine, developments of the superseded model. The continuous variable transmission has been let behind in favour of a new nine-speed auto. Three variants - ST, Ti and Ti-L - only are on offer in a mix of front and all-wheel drive. Diesel or hybrid options, unlike from rival carmakers such as Hyundai, Kia and Toyota, are not on the cards. Prices have gone up considerably, starting at $54,190, plus on-road costs, for the entry-level ST 2WD model, while the range topper signs off at $77,890 without ORCs. However, where the Pathfinder finds its appeal is the offer of two seating configurations, for seven or eight. The standard three-row set-up is for eight, but stretch to the Ti-L and get into a pair of luxurious leather captain’s chairs mid cabin separated by removable centre console storage. The test vehicle, a Ti 4WD costing $70,030, plus on-roads, came as an eight-seater with a 60:40 split second-row reclining bench. Access to the back twin seats is a doddle, even for grown-ups, with a one-touch button automatically flipping and folding the second row out of the way. All Pathfinders are covered by a five-year unlimited kilometre warranty with round-the-clock roadside assistance for the same period.

Grove prevails for Pennant win By Justin Flynn 3

Ocean Grove defeated Highton to win the Geelong Bowls Region Pennant premiership at Drysdale on Sunday, March 19. The Grovers prevailed 63 to 54 in a tightly contested grand final. The two sides fought an epic battle all season with Ocean Grove finishing on top of the ladder only after victory against Highton in the final round of the home and away season. Highton won the early home and away season game before Grove fought back in round 18 and then in the first final. Ocean Grove bowls coordinator and Pennant player Tyson Cromie said the “buzz on Sunday night was pretty special”. “Back to back (premierships) for a lot of the players in the side and a couple of fresh faces, which created a bit of excitement,”he said. “We have a lot of respect for Highton, but there’s a bit of a rivalry there with both sides playing off last year as well. “They got a hold of us on our home deck earlier in the season and we clinched top spot and going into that first final that last game really lifted us to give us a lot of confidence. We are both two high quality sides.” Both teams won one rink each and the other was tied.
Peter Loe and Dan Priddle couldn’t be separated with a 20 to 20 result on rink one. Scott McLachlan won by the barest of margins for Highton on rink three, making Brad Pavey’s 10-shot win on rink two the deciding factor. Torquay defeated St Leonards in Division 1 with both teams winning two rinks, but it was Russell Symons rink that proved the difference. Torquay won a thriller by just one shot in Division 2 against Geelong with Lance Avent winning by 12 and Shane Grellet winning by 11 for Geelong. Drysdale defeated Ocean Grove in Division 3 by four shots with Dog McDonald the biggest winner of the day. Bell Post Hill proved too good for Torquay in Division 4, winning 90 to 69. Ocean Grove thrashed City of Geelong in Division 5 by 41 shots with Bob Poole and Peter Kuschert both winning big. In Division 6, Ocean Grove won by three shots against Drysdale with both teams winning two rinks, but it was Ken Harrigan’s 26 to 11 victory that sealed the deal. Leopold defeated St Leonards to win the Division 7 flag while Point Lonsdale scraped home by three shots against Geelong RSL in Division 8 and Norlane beat Bell Post Hill for the Division 10 title.

Pennant players face wind and heat LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Gusty winds and high heat were factors teams were unfamiliar with on Saturday for Tennis Geelong’s Senior Pennant preliminary finals on March 18 and despite the potential to defer matches, all but one were completed on the day. In the open sections, all results went with ladder positions from the end of the season. Geelong Lawn Green, after a close loss to Highton in the first Semi, moved past their counterparts White, winning three rubbers to one. In the first singles Jackson Varney found himself break point down at 3-4, but due to a net touch by his opponent Jake Bucek on a winning volley, Varney stayed in the game, and steeled himself to take the first set 6-4, then the second 6-2. White countered in the doubles with a 6-4,6-4 win, leaving the match in the balance going into the final two rubbers. The second doubles went the way of Green 6-2, 6-2 while Jimmy Tjeuw and Rhys McNabb fought out the second singles in an epic 7-6, 3-6, 10-7 with the win going to Tjeuw, and Green. Wandana Heights, who had been dominant to finish minor premiers in both section 2 and
Section 1 Men Clifton Springs: Luke Thwaites, Tony Lazic, Lucas Oddo and Greg Luke. (Supplied)
3, returned to form this week with 3-0 and 4-0 wins respectively over Ocean Grove in both matches. Newcomb took a tough two rubbers to one win over Lara in section 4, with both doubles rubbers going the distance with Lara winning the first 10-4 and Newcomb the second 11-9 in the super tiebreaks and Newcomb’s Jacob Pianto winning his singles 6-2, 6-0. The second singles was played to a result with David Spork up 6-2, 2-1, enough to give Newcomb the win. Waurn Ponds have guaranteed a premiership in the section 5 grand final next week after
their Red and White teams had relatively comfortable wins over Moriac and Highton Blue. The men’s sections were a mixed bag of results with Grovedale going down in its three matches to Clifton Springs (S1), Hamlyn Park (S3) and Geelong East Uniting (S3), while Moolap Yellow went down four sets to two to Geelong Lawn in section 2, but their section 3 team would be happy with their 6-0 win over Inverleigh. With one match still to be played, it was a week of upsets for the mixed sections with only Clifton Springs (S2) and Newcomb (S5) making the most of their second chance. Grovedale were out-gunned by Bannockburn 5-1 in section 1 while Hamlyn Park, who were tied at two sets all after the doubles, won the final two sets to get over Anglesea in section 3. Teesdale outlasted Clifton Springs and the conditions long enough to seal the win before calling the day, finishing ahead by just the one game in section 4, while Highton came from 3-1 down in their section 6 match against Western Heights Uniting to take the final two sets in their match and win though to next week by two games.
Junior finals on the boil LOCAL TENNIS Donna Schoenmaekers Things were hot in Tennis Geelong’s Junior Pennant Finals this week with plenty of great play and oppressive conditions. With increasing winds and temperatures, players had to work hard for their wins. All but one girls sections were in do or die semis, with most of the top teams winning through, with only three exceptions. Section 1 will see third placed Highton take on fourth placed Wandana Heights after their upset wins over Geelong Lawn and Grovedale. Highton took their match comfortably winning 5-1, while Wandana snuck in three sets all but a game ahead. Western Heights Uniting were also tied three sets all with Barwon Heads in section 2, but with a five-game advantage will now face Surfcoast Torquay next week. Inverleigh and Ocean Grove will play off in section 3, Geelong Lawn White and Grovedale in 4, Lara and St Mary’s in 5, and St Mary’s and Grovedale in 7 after all teams had solid wins. Section 6 will see Ocean Grove play Wandana Heights after both teams won four sets to two, defeating Barwon Heads Blue and Clifton Springs but matches hung in the balance with only three and two games between them. Section 8 was the one prelim final for the girls and Point Lonsdale booked their place next week with a 4-2 win over Drysdale. It was lollies all round after Ocean Grove White defeated Highton at Surfside in Section 9, they will now play Ocean Grove Blue in next week’s grand final. In the boys, things were not so straightforward. While Geelong Lawn White (S1), Surfcoast Jan Juc (S4), Geelong Lawn (S5) and Highton White (S7) kept their hopes alive after last weeks losses, Wandana Heights (S2), Barwon Heads (S3), Highton (S8) and Geelong Lawn Green (S9) continued their winning runs from elimination finals last week and earned themselves places in the grand final. Semi-finals were held for section 6, 11 and 12, and while Grovedale and Drysdale (S6) and Highton and Ocean Grove (S12) won through with clear margin, Section 11 came down to game difference in both matches. Point Lonsdale were three sets to one after the singles before St Mary’s won both doubles, but Lonny were too far ahead in the games tally, securing them a match up with Hamlyn Park. The Park were two sets all with Drysdale and one game down going into the doubles, the doubles went one set each way but with a
Portland barrels on fire ON THE BITE Peri Stavropoulos Anglers have been getting stuck into some fantastic fishing across the region this past week with the barrels down at Portland being on most fisher’s minds. Portland over the past week and a half has been on fire with anglers flocking down the coast getting amongst the hot action with reports of boats landing up to seven barrels a day. There has been a wide variety of size in the fish with fish from 40kg right up to 120kg. Trolling between the Cape Nelson through to Cape Bridgewater with 8–10-inch skirts proving a stand out with some fish also falling victim to divers and pilchards being dropped into the work ups. The fish have been feeding on squid, couta and big pilchards. There is plenty of bait there so these fish are expected to go nowhere in a mad hurry. Keeping it more local there are still plenty of good reports coming from the Barwon Heads through to Torquay with reports of the fish still busting up like crazy right along the coast. Casting stickbaits and poppers into the commotion again is proving to be lethal with anglers picking up lots of fish doing this. Trolling skirted lures and divers are also getting stuck into a fair share of fish also. Inside the bay has continued to fish well for snapper in the inner harbour with anglers fishing a tide change picking up fish to near 4kg with plenty of fish just over legal size keeping them entertained. Bait fishing with pilchards and squid has been working a treat and as mentioned fishing a tide change has been the ideal time to wet a line. Garfish have been in fantastic numbers in the outer harbour as anglers have found fishing around Clifton Springs. Putting burley in the water in the shallows has been attracting lots of fish to the area with anglers not having to wait long at all for fish to be everywhere. Pencil float rigs and a tiny piece of bait is an idea when chasing these guys. The west coast estuary systems along have been fishing very well for black bream and eps over the past week or so with most systems producing fish. Fishing first thing in the morning, late arvo or into the night with surface lures has been resulting in some fantastic Perch fishing on top water lures and during the day the bream have been feeding well on soft plastics, hardbody lures and vibes.

6-0 win against a 6-2 loss, Hamlyn Park got through by the barest of margins. Green Ball prelims were held in Section 1 where minor premiers Geelong Lawn won through while All Saints came from the clouds to defeat favoured St Mary’s in Section 3. Section 4 will see Ocean Grove play Drysdale Brown after the Grove’s 6-0 win over Point Lonsdale, and Brown overcame Drysdale Gold by three games with teams tied at three sets all. Sections 2 and 5 finished with minor premiers Geelong Lawn White and St Mary’s winning through 4-2 over Wandana Heights and Geelong Lawn, while the second-semis
were both tied at three sets all and the game advantage with the away team. Bannockburn were tied two sets all with Geelong Lawn Green in section 2 after the singles, but with their two losses in tie-breaks, they held a seven-game lead. With both doubles also decided in tie-breaks, Banno kept the lead and the win. Grovedale were tied at two sets all after the singles in section 5, but Lara held a three-game advantage going into the doubles. The doubles went one set each way, but with a 6-1 win and a 6-5 loss, Grovedale made up the difference ending the match one game ahead.

Anglesea adds to its trophy haul By Justin Flynn Anglesea claimed its sixth Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association premiership in eight seasons on March 18 and 19 to continue its dominance of the competition. Unlike in recent seasons, Anglesea did it the hard way this time around, finishing third on the ladder, but lifting come finals times as champion sides do. Anglesea won in a thriller against Surf Coast rivals Jan Juc at Winchelsea. Batting first, the Seas were all out for 151 with Tyron Norman playing an epic knock in the heat. Norman may have only made 52 before being run out, but he batted time and gave his bowlers something to defend. Brett Venables chipped in with 32 to get the total up over 150. Norman then starred behind the stumps on day two with six catches as Jan Juc started poorly in its run chase, being 4-45, but recovering to 7-113. In the end, the Sharks fell six runs short with pace duo Darcy Elliott and Dylan Taylor each taking three wickets as did Tynan Shannon, who impressed with 3-18 from 11 overs. Barwon Heads will be back in the Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association’s top grade next season after convincingly defeating Drysdale in the final at Collendina on March 18 and 19. The Seagulls earned promotion to A1 Grade with a powerhouse performance in the final, led by Sam Schaller. Schaller made 42 in Barwon Heads’ total of 273 and then took 6-45 from 23.1 overs in a stunning player of the match performance. Ben Harris made a superb 89 and Charlie Hurst played well for 58 as the Heads built a large total in stifling conditions on Saturday.

Harris and Hurst laid the foundations for the big score with a 134-run third-wicket partnership after the Seagulls lost both openers cheaply. Schaller then put the finishing touches on the innings to ensure that Barwon Heads had a sizeable total to defend on Sunday. Drysdale seamer Blake Dobbin was absolutely superb in the heat, bowling 16 overs and taking 7-49 in a lion-hearted effort.
Slow bowler Ben Spencer did a lot of the hard work with 2-83 from 20.5 overs. Drysdale’s run chase started disastrously and at one stage was 5-31 and the game was all but over. Dobbin and Cameron Chisholm gave the Hawks the slightest of hopes with a defiant 64-run eighth-wicket partnership, but they would finish all out for 144 in the 56th over. Dobbin couldn’t have done any more for his
side with a well-made 45 from 66 deliveries and Chisholm dug in and refused to surrender his wicket with 38 from 132. It was Schaller who took the bowling honours with 6-45 – the left-arm spinner returned to the club after a short absence and made his presence felt in a big-game situation. Darcy Hewitt snared two wickets while teenager Taj Don and veteran Matt High each picked up one.

Perennial grand finalists meet again East Belmont won the right to challenge North Geelong for this season’s Geelong Cricket Association premiership following a high-scoring preliminary final win against Grovedale on Saturday March 18. It will be the Lions’ fifth grand final in a row and it will be the third time in as many seasons that they will meet North Geelong in the decider. Grovedale won the toss and batted first at Winter Reserve with a 109-run opening stand between Andrew Wedge (28) and Jordan Moran. Moran would go on to score a sublime 99 from 80 deliveries. He hit 12 boundaries and two sixes. Runs flowed during the innings with Michael McNeel getting 26 before being run out while Anthony Quarrell (25 not out) and Luke Guest (32 not out from 16 balls) added 30 GEELONG INDEPENDENT Friday, 24 March, 2023
an unbroken 52-run stand at the end to push the final total to 5-244. James McMahon took three wickets for East Belmont, but it was Ben Knight’s 0-24 from 10 overs that prevented a bigger total. A 140-run second-wicket partnership between Josh Lacey and Sean O’Neill then gave East Belmont every chance of victory. Lacey hit 10 fours in his 62-ball 60 while O’Neill smacked 92 from 98 before having to retire hurt with leg cramps. At 4-173, the game was getting tight, but Lachlan Inglis (39 not out off 43) and Ben Knight (36 not out from 33) shared a 76-run stand to get East Belmont home with five overs remaining. Spinner Bailey Sykes continued his impressive debut season with 3-53 for Grovedale. The grand final will begin at 11.30am at
KFC Oval, Highton. Torquay will meet Murgheboluc in the Division 2 grand final at Leopold. Murgheboluc defeated Geelong City in the preliminary final, chasing down 156 for victory thanks to 50 from in-form opener Lewy Hyland. In Division 3, St Albans Breakwater will meet Bell Park at Hamlyn Park after Bell Park defeated Thomson with openers Ben Grinter (85) and Michael Lymer (74) adding 162 for the opening wicket. Waurn Ponds/Deakin meets Guild St Mary’s at Winter Reserve in Division 4. Mandeep Aulakh made 93 from 65 balls and Anand Choudhary took four wickets for Guild St Mary’s in the preliminary final win against Little River. Justin Flynn
