Woodend’s growing buzz By Angela Valente David and Sara Gormley-O’Brien are making every inch of their Woodend property productive. As part of their belief that it’s important to have a relationship with the land, they’re turning their focus to bees. After having one hive for two years and their first honey harvest in February, the novice beekeepers are looking to capitalise on local knowledge. They are members of a bee club in Diggers Rest but want to start a group in Woodend. Mr Gormley-O’Brien says there’s a “groundswell of desire” in Woodend to promote beekeeping. “I’m looking forward to getting a group together and bringing in those who are experienced and know what they’re doing and able to share their knowledge,” he said. “It’s a cross-generational thing. A lot of older people in their 70s who have been beekeeping all their lives to a certain extent are dying with all that knowledge and it’s not being handed on.” On their one-acre (0.4-hectare) property, the Gormley-O’Briens aim to be as sustainable as possible. They’ve become seasonally focused on growing fruit and vegetables and have a dexter cow, Megan, that provides manure, offspring and milk. “It’s part of our identity getting back to nature,” Mr Gormley-O’Brien said. He is encouraging bee enthusiasts to attend an inaugural Woodend beekeeping meeting on Sunday, August 24. The meeting will be held from 3pm at 294 Ashbourne Road, Woodend. For more information call 0408 578 032. David Gormley-O’Brien attends to his Woodend bees. (Damjan Janevski)

Upgrade lifts kinder places A $1.35 million upgrade to a preschool centre in Sunbury has lifted the number of kindergarten places from 97 to 130. The refurbished Sunningdale Avenue children’s centre was officially opened last week by Wendy Lovell, the Minister for Children and Early Childhood Development. Hume council’s director of city communities, Margarita Caddick, said more staff had been hired to accommodate the increase in kindergarten places because of the redevelopment. “The creation of a second preschool room enabled more families to access a program,” she said. In addition to a new preschool room and the redevelopment of day-care rooms, the upgrades include modern play areas, meeting spaces for educators and the ability to open the two up-to-threeyear-old rooms to access alternative spaces. Ms Lovell said the opening was an important milestone for the community, and bringing children’s services together in one location made sense. “The upgrade hasn’t just improved the quality of facilities, it’s increased access to children’s services, including kindergarten, long-day care, maternal and child health, and playgroups,” she said. The upgrade was jointly funded by Hume council, which contributed $1.05 million, and a state government injection of $300,000. Angela Valente

Jake and Keisha prepare to plant
Pupils land a plum job Pupils at Killara Primary School have started planting their own orchard – one tree at a time. The first tree, a plum, was planted by pupils Jake and Keisha last week. Teacher Robyn Smith said it was a vision of the school to have a productive orchard. “We’ve started with one fruit tree, but if we can get 20 that would be nice,” she said. “I’m putting my hand up asking people if they have any trees we can have. “The year 3-4’s are involved and it’s an opportunity to introduce them to what nature can give us. “They can watch the trees grow and,
hopefully, produce fruit before they leave the school.” The school is involved in Sustainability Victoria’s ‘ResourceSmart Australian sustainable schools’ initiative. Pupils take on roles which include monitoring energy use; recycling paper, cardboard and plastics; and lunchtime walks to pick up rubbish. Killara has completed two of five tasks required to become a five-star sustainable school. About 200 trees and shrubs were planted at the school last month as part of National Schools’ Tree Planting Day. Angela Valente

CT imaging reaches new heights P
atients in Sunbury and surrounding areas now have access to a more effective Computed Tomography scanning service thanks to upgraded technology at Lake Imaging. Practice manager Chris Proctor says demand for CT services is higher than ever. “Since upgrading to our more efficient scanner in 2012, more than 10,000 local patients have taken advantage of this bulk-billed modality. There’s clearly a very real need in the Sunbury region for a local CT service.” “Our region’s doctors have welcomed the high-end CT service by referring patients of all ages for scans of arteries, the brain, lungs, kidneys and other vital organs, along with skeletal structure and teeth. “Before we introduced this service in Sunbury, patients had to travel outside the region to Melbourne, Ballarat or Bendigo for scans,” Mr Proctor says. “Having this local service is more convenient for patients and enables close relationships between local general practitioners and our on-site radiologists who devote much of their time to giving advice and feedback to the referring doctors.” Lake Imaging radiologist Karen Fink says advanced scanning technologies like CT are a vital tool in early diagnosis, which can greatly improve medical outcomes. Dr Fink says the new scanners are quicker, safer, more user and patient-friendly than earlier machines. “Patients referred to Lake Imaging Sunbury have access to this bulk-billed service; no fees are payable by patients. The community also benefits from considerable improvements in medical outcomes and lower medical and social costs made possible by early diagnosis.”
Lake Imaging, at 10 Spavin Drive, corner of Riddell Road, Sunbury, opens 8.30am-6pm, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays; 8.30am-7.30pm, Wednesdays; and 9am-1pm, Saturdays. Inquiries: 9744 5344 or www.lakeimaging.com.au
Sunbury now home to Victoria’s best radiology services Lake Imaging Sunbury provides local access to Victoria’s most advanced radiology service and a resident radiologist. And now there is no reason to delay CT scans as they can be Bulk Billed. This means there is no need to travel outside the region for radiology services. Radiology services at Lake Imaging Sunbury include: • CT (GE Light Speed Multi-slice VCT) - bulk billing for CT scans • Bone Density and Dental scanning • Mammography • Echocardiography • Ultrasound • X-Ray
- only on-site CT/VCT scanning services in the Sunbury region - only on-site radiologist in the Sunbury region - fast digital transfer of results to your doctor - priority service for urgent cases - friendly and helpful staff

With vine-covered arbours, box hedges, weeping cherries and daffodils heralding spring in the front garden, this classic brick veneer with about 20 years on the clock puts on a fine face to the street and continues with a well-presented display of its era inside. The big block of about 1553 square metres is already well utilised, with boxed vegie gardens, chook pen, water tank, garden, wood and storage sheds, a timber cubby house with adjoining playground, and a powered Colorbond shed fitting easily into the backyard – and there’s still space to spare. Soft-green floor tiles span the entry hall which has, on the right, the main bedroom

with muted green carpet, bay window and ceiling fan; a walk-in robe with shelves, and an en suite with heat lamp are other features. Two more bedrooms (robes and ceiling fans) are along another hallway at the back, as are the laundry with bench and closet, and the main bathroom with hand-held shower rose. The fourth bedroom, partly tiled/partly carpeted, is off a rumpus room and has a ceiling fan and timber-lined ceiling; it also has access to a side covered deck so could be used as an extension of entertainment space, especially since the next-door rumpus room has a bar. The entry hall goes past a step-down lounge room which has a bay window and

a wood heater set in a feature brick wall. Right next to this, delineated by a turned baluster, is a study area on the upper level. Next comes the kitchen-meals zone where a wood heater has an oven – home-baked bread anyone? The kitchen has timber cupboards, the sink under a bulkhead, two-door pantry, new dishwasher, wall oven and 900mm electric cooktop. The aforementioned deck (under a pitched-roof pergola) is beautified with a fernery along brick paving, and there’s a side double gate for access to the shed and big backyard. The property also has ducted heating and a double garage. Carole Levy

AUGUST RATE REVIEW With each Reserve Bank new cash rate announcement, the historical low of 2.50% is beginning to feel less and less like a ‘sure thing’ – at least less than it has felt like for the past year. While the Reserve Bank has announced that it will keep the cash rate on hold for August, our monthly survey of economic forecasters are expecting the good times to end for borrowers. Borrowers can expect a ‘new normal’ cash rate level of around 4% from next year, according to the survey. With this in mind, it’s worth looking into two loan options that could potentially save borrowers thousands when the cash rate rises: a split loan or a fiveyear fixed rate loan. With so many lenders recently dropping their five-year fixed rates and with interest rate hikes on the horizon, locking in for a long-term period could be good value if you’re concerned about rising rates. However, fixed loans may have less flexibility, which is why split loans could be a good option. A split loan lets you lock in part of the loan at a fixed rate while taking advantage of the flexible features that come with variable rate loans for the other part of the loan balance. Flexible features often include an offset account, additional repayments and redraw facilities.You essentially get the best of both worlds while reducing the impact of any rate movements.

ARE HOLIDAY HOUSES STILL A THING? Hands up if you window shop for a holiday house while on a ripper holiday? Yep, we all do. It’s hard not to get swept up in the vibe of a great holiday destination, and understandable that you want to buy your own four-walled piece of it – to return to, to rent out or to retire in. Hundreds of thousands of Aussies own holiday homes. It’s estimated there are about one million holiday homes across the country today, ranging from alpine shacks to beachside cottages, inner-city apartments and everything in between. Sounds good. So why are fewer of us buying holiday homes in 2014? According to new research there is imbalance in supply and demand of holiday homes.The annual realestate.com.au Housing Affordability Sentiment Index (HASI) survey for 2014, released in May, showed 6% of all vendors were in the market this year to sell a holiday home. Only 1% of all buyers were in the market this year to buy a holiday home. (Read more: HASI: national housing sentiment 2014)
AUSTRALIAN PROPERTY ALERTS Technology has been firmly embedded in real estate marketing for many years but First National Real Estate is leading the charge when it comes to regular customer communication about homes suited to their needs. Buyer alerts issued from First National’s Utopia cross matching system surged by 50% in 2013 with some 575,000 customers receiving SMS alerts, telling them that a property matching their wish list had just been put on the market. More than 13.8 million email alerts and property market updates were also issued.The system is used equally by buyers and tenants and customers love the regular, instant updates. ‘Our customers tell us we are the only real estate brand that gets back to them when they take the time to tell us about their property hopes and dreams;’ says Patrick Franklin, Manager LJ Whorlow First National. Customers register their details by visiting First National member websites and following the links for priority alerts. ‘It’s simple to update search criteria, as your wish list changes, and also to choose to receive market updates or not’ says Mr Franklin. ‘Plus, once you’ve bought or rented a new home, it’s easy to remove yourself from our database so we don’t bother you with updates you no longer need. Our customers just love the convenience and our members have reduced the number of days it takes to sell a home or rent a vacant investment property.’ Find out more about First National’s Utopia system by calling our office on 9740 9000.

Winter warmers
WINE
nominate a wine as his go-to drink of the moment. But, refreshingly, O’Brien, who also makes wine under the Vinero label from the Macedon Ranges, nominates a beer. “I’m quite hooked on Bridge Road Brewers’ Bling Bling IPA,” O’Brien says. “It’s straight out of the ‘more of anything? More of everything!’ school of brewing, but it’s everything that a thousand hopped-out, malted-up craft brews want to be and fail for one important reason: balance. My brain tells me I shouldn’t like it but my mouth says, ‘Shut up and enjoy the ride’.”
It’s the middle of winter and I’m drinking chilled riesling when warming reds should be in my glass – there’s something terribly wrong with this picture. Wine’s a bit like fashion, and the wines we’ll be drinking next season have already hit the shops. It means I end up tasting and drinking wines that are inappropriate for the current weather – heavy reds in summer followed by whites and rosé in the winter. Longing to know what the drinks of choice The brewer \ Steve Walker for the current cold weather are, I asked a brewer, bartender, winemaker and sommelier “You start drinking beers that are a bit what they’ve been enjoying. darker in the winter, with higher alcohol – less thirst-quenching beers, but ones with flavour,” says Walker, head brewer at Geelong’s Southern The winemaker \ Franco D’Anna Bay Brewing Co. “They go with richer foods, Not surprisingly, this Yarra Valley winemaker such as casseroles, and with dark beers such as stouts, they really come to life at warmer is drinking red wine. “I’m loving reds from southern Italy at the temperatures. Pour yourself a large glass, drink moment – just the right sort of tannins for a it slowly and their true characters come out.” hearty soup – savoury reds without the fruit sweetness we see in many domestic wines. Any The bartender \ Fred Siggins nerello from Etna hits the spot, or the more muscular wines from Puglia,” the Hoddles “In the winter months, I tend to gravitate to Creek Estate winemaker says. simple whisky-based classics like the Bobby Burns. It’s basically a scotch Manhattan (whisky, sweet vermouth and bitters) with a The sommelier \ Liam O’Brien splash of DOM Bénédictine for a bit of rich, You’d think the sommelier who curates an herbal sweetness,” says Siggins, who can be outstanding list of wines at Cutler & Co would found mixing drinks at Fitzroy’s Black Pearl.
RECIPE \ BLACK PEARL’S JOHN LEE HOOKER FLIP (ISTOCK / THINKSTOCK)
Fred Siggins was happy to share a recipe that has rarely appeared on the Black Pearl list. “At Black Pearl we also love our flips. This is a style of cocktail shaken with a whole egg for a beautifully rich and fluffy texture. One of our originals is called the John Lee Hooker Flip after the song One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer. “In a shaker, combine 30 millilitres of good bourbon, 30 millilitres of scotch, 10 millilitres of real maple syrup, a dash of Angostura bitters and a raw egg. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds with no ice to emulsify the egg, then add ice and shake again to chill. Strain into a beer mug and top with your favourite dark beer.”

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL
The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law. For more information about discrimination in advertising, contact your legal advisers or the Equal Opportunity Commission.
