Stamp of approval Sunbury’s Kevin Andrews was among those honoured at this year’s AFL Premiership Players Club stamp launch. Each year the club committee selects 20 premiership players, coaches and umpires to feature on Australian postage stamps. This year’s group included some of the biggest names in the game, with the late great Norm Smith and John Coleman among them. Andrews was honoured for his role as a goal umpire, specifically in the 1985 and 1986 grand finals. He umpired 114 VFL-AFL games in all. And while Andrews made his name in football for his work between the posts, in 1959 the then 16-year-old penned what would become Essendon Football Club’s theme song. At the time, Andrews was living with the parents of former Bomber Jeff Gamble. “Every Friday night, there was a variety [television] show on called Sunnyside Up,” Andrews said. “Jeff came over to visit his mum and dad one Saturday morning singing this [theme] song … instead of singing the first line of the song, he changed the words to ‘see the Bombers fly up, up’. “I asked … for a writing pad [and] started to pen the words to what is now known as the Bombers’ theme song.” Tara Murray

Sunbury NBN switched on By Esther Lauaki Super fast internet has finally arrived in Sunbury but there are concerns about whether the town’s ageing infrastructure will hold up. Thousands of homes and businesses will now be able to connect to the National Broadband Network using fibre-to-node technology. Last week’s connection will be welcome news for McEwen voters, who vented their frustration with the stalled rollout of the NBN at a forum hosted by MP Rob Mitchell earlier this year. The NBN rollout first started in Sunbury in 2013 and was due to be completed by June last year.

But the rollout was put on hold after the incoming Liberal government revised the NBN schedule and capacity. Residents in newer areas of Sunbury, including Jacksons Hill, were unable to access even basic ADSL, and say their study and work lives have been disrupted by the delays. Sunbury web designer Hannah Hargraves welcomed the connection and said it would boost the productivity of her small business. “This is definitely a good thing for Sunbury,” Ms Hargraves said. “We were constantly having trouble with the Internet and sometimes I would just give up and take a break until we had a decent Internet

connection. I do a lot of graphic design so there’s a lot of large file transfer involved and that would take so long. “I’m a small-time self-employed business owner and [connection to the NBN] will boost my productivity. I can imagine it would make an even greater impact of bigger businesses in Sunbury.” However Mr Mitchell was concerned the towns infrastructure was not compatible with the new technology. He said he had received countless complaints from residents in other towns where the NBN has been switched on, about poor internet speeds and drop-outs.

“I have concerns for the connection of areas of Sunbury to the Liberal government’s fibre-to-node NBN. Fibre to the node means the Liberal government is only building three-quarters of the NBN, and the quality of connection to your home will rely on the old copper wire telephone line they are using.” Telstra area general manager Steve Tinker said the launch of the NBN at Sunbury would give locals the opportunity to use a variety of new and emerging technologies. About 2700 additional premises are also set to switch on this month in Romsey. Towns such as Riddells Creek, Gisborne and Lancefield, are waiting to be connected.

Mulch ado about green waste fee By Esther Lauaki A green waste voucher scheme that sparked a public backlash from Macedon Ranges residents has been cancelled, and won’t be reconsidered until July next year. The council tried to completely overhaul its free green waste disposal service to introduce a limited voucher system in August, just as spring clean-ups were getting under way in the lead-up to the summer fire season. Two vouchers were sent out with August rate

notices, offering ratepayers free tipping of two small trailer-loads of green waste at transfer stations each year. Previously, ratepayers had year-round access to free green waste disposal. The backlash caused councillors to cancel the voucher scheme, which was to start in January, and reinstate free disposal of green waste at transfer stations. Assets and operations director Dale Thornton said the council will have to decide on the future of its free green waste disposal

service by July next year as part of its review of the program. “To access council’s free green waste disposal service, you must be a ratepayer or tenant within Macedon Ranges shire, and must provide evidence of residence, such as an original rates notice or driver’s licence,” Mr Thornton said. Only domestic quantities (in small trailer loads) will be accepted in any single tip load. Charges will apply for larger loads, commercial customers and people who live

outside the municipality. Those without proof of residence will be charged standard gate fees. Residents can still purchase mulch directly from transfer stations, or arrange to have mulch delivered, by contacting customer service. Stockpiling green waste could be deemed a fire risk and a fire prevention notice may be issued. Failing to comply with the notice may incur a penalty of $1555. Council’s transfer stations are located at Romsey, Woodend and Kyneton. Details: www.mrsc.vic.gov.au/waste

Sunbury residents can take home a perfectly shaped Christmas tree, at the same time supporting their local scouts’ annual fundraiser. The 3rd Sunbury Scout group has been offering freshly cut trees over recent weekends, and this Saturday, families can pick up the last of them. Orders are still being taken for trees from 1.5 metres to 2.5 metres, and bigger trees are also available on order. Scout leader Marlo Aisbett says proceeds will go towards equipment, supplies and maintenance of the scout hall. ‘‘The money will help us to replace old tents, and [get] equipment that we need to keep our scouts group going,’’ she said. ‘‘Events like this give us the chance to help families meet costs, so more kids can attend. “It also helps us to provide training for our leaders, because they are volunteers and these events raise the money that allows us to continue our work with these young people.” Trees, from $45 to $70 each, can be ordered at the Scout hall in Miller Street. Delivery in Sunbury costs $10. For another $10, the Scouts will pick up trees for disposal on January 4. Details: chairperson@3rdsunburyscouts.org. au

With heatwaves and thunder storms set to mark the lead-up to Christmas, Macedon Ranges residents are urged to have asthma plans in place, as well as strategies to beat the heat. The death toll of people struck by thunderstorm asthma after extreme weather in late November rose to eight last week, and Victorian hospitals were still treating patients at weeks’ end, more than a fortnight afterwards. Macedon Ranges mayor Jennifer Anderson, who is also a general practitioner, has urged residents to be prepared for the extreme weather to come. “The Macedon Ranges is well known for its hot weather and storms,” Cr Anderson said. “In my medical opinion, I would advise that people with asthma to have an asthma management plan. “I think it’s very important for people to be aware that thunderstorm asthma is a real concern and, if they have any questions about it, ask their doctor.” She said that the council will also refer people to health information if they have any questions. Victorian chief health officer Professor Charles Guest also urged people to stay vigilant. “People with asthma should always carry their inhaler or reliever … as it isn’t always possible to predict changing weather conditions requiring medication,” Professor Guest said. He advised people to stay indoors and in air-conditioned areas when severe weather warnings are issued. Anyone experiencing wheezing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing should call triple-0.

Homemade, heartfelt Macedon Ranges residents are getting to know their neighbours through an innovative meal sharing program that will come to the fore at Christmas. The Casserole Club puts volunteer home cooks in touch with elderly neighbours, people living alone and those unable to cook for themselves, to share the love through a home cooked meal. The club started in 2014 at Lancefield and now taps about 120 households across the Ranges. Kyneton’s Lucy Taylor and neighbour Hilda, who is 92, have been sharing meals, and a chin

Potholes and broken sections of the Daylesford-Malmsbury Road have prompted complaints from motorists and their concerns have made their way to Parliament. Northern Victoria MP Wendy Lovell raised the poor condition of the C316 road saying: “Driving the road is like playing dodgem cars, as you weave … avoiding the potholes”. She asked the Roads and Road Safety Minister to commit to urgent maintenance and resurfacing.

Bushfire, heatwave alert Spring may have been a late bloomer, but Victoria faces a hot, dry summer – and the bushfire threat is high across many of the state’s most popular holiday destinations. Grey skies and cool temperatures marked the last day of a cold, stormy spring last Wednesday, but Robyn Duell, a senior climatologist at the Bureau of Meteorology, can see the change on the horizon. “We’re about to see a turn in the weather … we’re on the cusp of experiencing a significant change,” Ms Duell says. The Bushfire Co-operative Research Centre released an updated seasonal outlook for Victoria last week. The red warning area on the map has grown, extending north-east towards Albury and south into Gippsland. “It will be dry, it will be hot … and, as we know in Victoria, all we need is those strong north-westerly winds and they’re the days that bring the recipe together,” Victoria’s emergency management commissioner Craig Lapsley said. The greatest bushfire risk area during December – particularly around Christmas – will be between Melbourne and Echuca. “Anything from the northern outer suburbs of Melbourne to Echuca – in a straight line – will dry out by Christmas,” Mr Lapsley says. “The Macedon Ranges will be really dry. In fact, they are already dry and have a lot of fuel in them. “So over that Christmas-New Year period, it will be central Victoria and western Victoria [at most risk].” The risk will increase for coastal communities along the Great Ocean Road – from Apollo Bay to Torquay – come January and February. “I couldn’t see that we will have major problems for any of the coastal areas for Christmas, unless we have a dramatic change

in weather,” Mr Lapsley says. “We’re only going to really start to see the hot weather come in around Christmas, and that’s really the start of the drying period.” The imminent bushfire risk is in central Victoria, Mr Lapsley believes, where the grasses have already dried out and farmers are already harvesting bumper crops. Last year, it was so dry that there was no hay to be cut. “We’ve had one of the wettest winters on record, and now we’re moving into this period of prolific growth,” he says.

The first month of summer is set to be the hottest, with heatwaves expected to be a feature during December, but not so much in January or February. There is a 60 to 70 per cent chance of conditions being both hotter and drier than normal in December. The heatwaves will be fuelled by a belt of strong westerly winds, known as the Roaring Forties. – The Age

Farmland in regional Melbourne must be protected to safeguard the city’s fresh food supply, a new report has found. The Melbourne’s Food Future report, released last week as the product of a joint research project by Melbourne and Deakin universities, explores what it takes to feed Melbourne, the vulnerabilities for the city’s food supply and significance of the city’s food bowl for its food security. The report found Melbourne’s food bowl now had the capacity to meet 41 per cent of the city’s food needs, but this could fall to 18 per cent within 35 years. The report’s five key recommendations essential for a resilient food bowl included a need to protect farmland by fixing the urban growth boundary, introducing planning mechanisms for areas of food production and shifting development pressure from the fringe to existing urban areas. Urban sprawl into the Macedon Ranges continues to be a concern for sustainability groups and the local residents’ association. Agricultural production in the Ranges is valued at about $43 million a year. But residents association secretary Christine Pruneau said conserving the Ranges’ natural landscapes for recreation, tourism and water catchment should be prioritised even over agriculture. “We have very high-quality soil in this region … we need to start looking at the land as an asset,” she said.

YOUR SAY New campus will benefit us all

[Re: College permit questioned, Star Weekly, November 22] Weekly Macedon Ranges’ community members can be assured that Braemar College will continue to work in close consultation with them throughout the development of its much needed new campus, as it has done throughout the process of gaining the permit and developing the masterplan. Contrary to the opinions and inaccuracies expressed in this article, the facts are that Braemar College has worked in close consultation with Macedon Ranges Shire Council and the community to gain the planning permit and develop the masterplan. To date there have been eight meetings with the community, two meetings with the Macedon Ranges Residents Association and action groups, two meetings with local Landcare groups and a Landcare workshop hosted onsite. The fact that there were no objections to the planning application, is a testament

to the conversations we had with the community during the four years we were involved in the planning process. These conversations with the community are ongoing. The College held a forum on Friday 25 November, details of which are on our website.Secondly, I want to thank those community members who have provided input and feedback to help us get to this stage, which so far has been overwhelmingly positive and supportive. And finally, anything that benefits our young people, is of direct benefit to the success and liveability of our great community. Braemar College has been entwined in the fabric of the Macedon Ranges for over 40 years, educating and nurturing our young people to become positive contributors to our society. Russell Deer, Principal Braemar College

Bendigo trains on track New V/Line timetables will deliver 80 extra services each week in regional Victoria, including 10 new evening train services on the Bendigo line starting January. A new Melbourne to Bendigo service will leave Southern Cross Station on weekdays at 7.42pm, passing through Kyneton at 8.49pm. Another will leave Bendigo at 9.20pm and stop at Kyneton at 10.05pm – enabling people to get home if they’ve worked late or gone out in Bendigo. Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas welcomed the new Bendigo line services.

“With a capacity of up to 225 people per service, we’re giving more people more choice about when they travel and how they get home.” The 80 extra V/Line services statewide are the first of more than 170 new transport initiatives promised in the 2016-17 Victorian budget. Timetable updates, including new bus and coach services, will be added to PTV’s journey planner and PTV app from January 5. Another timetable change is due mid-next year.

Officials tour the expansion at Hardwicks meatworks. (Supplied)

Kyneton abattoir Hardwicks will continue to beef up the Macedon Ranges’ economy, thanks to a $6 million state government grant. The company has expanded operations to include a new boning room and more cold storage, creating 170 extra jobs to add to the 300 already at its Kyneton plant. Beef and lamb processing will be boosted to 3500 cattle and 30,000 lambs a week. Hardwicks human resource manager Marc Bullen said the upgrades have increased production capacity, allowed the company to expand its product range and improve the quality of its meat products. “The project has provided opportunities for people to access skilled food-processing jobs and secured the longer-term sustainability of Hardwicks’ role as a major private sector employer for the region,” Mr Bullen said. The meatworks sources livestock from southern Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria, and exports about 40 per cent of its produce, predominantly to the Middle East and Indonesia. It has both kosher and halal certification. Regional development minister Jaala Pulford said the expansion will significantly boost economic output in the region. The project, part of the regional jobs and infrastructure fund, has the backing of Macedon Ranges council as well, she said. “We’re making sure our food and fibre manufacturers remain competitive and sustainable,” Ms Pulford said. “We’re proud to support the Hardwicks expansion, which means more jobs for regional Victorians.”

Study looks at drinking habits

Macedon Police’s Rick Janssen with Western Water’s operations centre and planning co-ordinator Richard Borg. (Western Water)

Water trespass warning By Esther Lauaki

Macedon leading senior constable Rick Janssen said reservoirs are under regular surveillance by Western Water staff and police. “We will be looking at measures to increase our surveillance to ensure that anyone breaking the law gets caught,” senior constable Janssen said. Drinking water storages, including reservoirs and tanks at Orde Hill Reservoir in Mount Macedon, are surrounded by fences and clearly marked: ‘Do not enter’. Any trespassers are likely to be identified via CCTV footage. Information: www.westernwater.com.au

12334188-LN49-16 10044142-10

Trespassers face fines of almost $10,000, or six months’ jail, if they’re caught inside one of Macedon Ranges’ water supply areas. Western Water is warning people to be on the lookout for illegal activity around reservoirs and water supply tanks after security fences were breached several times over winter and spring. Entering a protected drinking water storage area is illegal under the Safe Drinking Water Act, with fines as high as a $9300, or six months’ jail, for a first offence.

Western Water general manager Graham Holt said protecting the safety and quality of drinking water “is absolutely critical”. “Drinking water is a resource shared by the whole community, and we would ask anyone who sees someone illegally entering a reservoir to contact us or the police,” Mr Holt said. “Our customers don’t want people walking their dogs, fishing or swimming in their drinking water, and we don’t want anyone to get injured, or worse.” Western Water services more than 3500 residents in Macedon and Mt Macedon, and more than 5800 residents in Woodend.

Macedon Ranges residents are being asked to take a closer look at their drinking habits and inappropriate behaviour when under the influence. La Trobe’s alcohol policy research centre is collaborating with VicHealth to explore what drives alcohol consumption among regional and rural Victorians. Lead researcher Claire Wilkinson said the study wants to hear first-hand from country people about the factors that influence the way they drink. “We know from previous studies that people in regional and rural areas are more likely to engage in risky drinking,” Ms Wilkinson said. The study wants to uncover the triggers that prompt people in regional Victoria to take risks when drinking alcohol. “We want to get people’s thoughts on what they think is and isn’t socially acceptable while drinking. “We want to interview people aged between 36 and 70, who drink alcohol and are willing to give their thoughts and insights into what factors influence why and the way they drink in social situations. “They will also be asked to give their ideas about how drinking cultures in the country could be changed.” Participants willing to take part in this research will be reimbursed for their time. To participate contact 9479 8735 or c.wilkinson@latrobe.edu.au. Esther Lauaki

Macedon Ranges food producers and farmers have the chance to shine at next year’s Royal Agriculture Society of Victoria’s Australian food awards. Entries are now open, and Kyneton’s Emelia Prendergast, owner of Emelia’s The Saucy Australian, is urging the region’s foodies to throw their hats in the ring. The home cook turned businesswoman picked up a haul of three golds, a silver and a bronze for her pastries and preserves at the inaugural competition this year. Mrs Prendergast and her husband Ron started the business out of their Kyneton home about 22 years ago. She said the family had fallen on hard times, and she needed to be resourceful. “We literally started from our small home kitchen,” Mrs Prendergast said. “We had nothing, so I started meddling with chutneys and relishes, and selling them at the farmers’ markets.” Emelia’s is now a long-standing business in Kyneton’s famed Piper Street, specialising in sauces, preserves and baked goods. Her chicken and mushroom, and lamb and rosemary, pies impressed judges at the national food awards, as well as Emelia’s pickled crushed garlic in olive oil. A creme of horseradish and crustacean dressing earned the business a silver and a bronze. The awards celebrate excellence and recognise the best food and food products around Australia. RASV chief executive Mark O’Sullivan said a high calibre of entries are expected for the Australian Food Awards’ second year. “We are passionate and dedicated to growing the competition, recognising and rewarding even more of the nation’s top producers and providing opportunities for them to leverage

their success, locally and internationally,” Mr O’Sullivan said. The Australian Food Awards presents medals in eight categories, including dairy, meat, poultry, seafood, fresh produce, grains and pulses, pantry goods and convenience foods. Enter online at www.food.rasv.com.au.

Secondary school students are among the most prone to knee injuries, a new study has found. Cobaw Community Health researchers referenced Medicare data to identify a significant rise in the number of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries among young people over the past 20 years. Children’s services physiotherapist Wendy Taverna said as pre-teens enter puberty and grow taller and heavier, their risk of ACL injury increases. “Girls are at higher risk of knee injury because after puberty – as their body size increases, girls usually do not develop more muscle power,” Ms Taverna said. She said, as a result of injury, children who become distanced from their sport and social networks can experience depression, while time away from school for treatments can impact academic performance. Fellow children’s physiotherapist Beck Neylon said there were more children and teens participating in organised sports now than ever. “We are seeing children starting sports activities younger and experiencing more intense training,” Ms Neylon said. “Children need to be taught how to warm up and stretch correctly, strengthen key muscles and have their technique corrected, if necessary, to prevent these sorts of injuries… not just jumping out of a car and running onto the field.” Details: www.cobaw.org.au

MY PLACE D’Arcy Wood has spent most of his working life in churches, and this year celebrates 50 years since he was ordained. The longserving Gisborne minister spoke to Esther Lauaki. What’s your connection to the area? My wife, Janet, and I retired to Gisborne in 2000. After 15 years there, we moved (down-sized) to Riddells Creek. We have only lived here for six months, but are very happy.

My 50th anniversary, celebrated at Gisborne Uniting Church, was officially marked in October this year. I was ordained into the Methodist ministry in Melbourne in 1966. I was 29 at the time. I was brought up in the church because my father was a minister, and I came to faith in my teen years. I was born in Tonga, as were my brother and four sisters. My parents were missionaries there from 1924 to 1937. I was a baby when they returned to Australia, but I’ve been back several times, including having the honour of crowning King Tupou VI in 2015 and attending the 150th anniversary of Tupou College (my father’s school) in June this year. Where have you served? I ministered full-time in Ballarat, Sydney, Adelaide, Canberra, Melbourne (Bentleigh). My longest appointment was teaching in a theological college in Adelaide. What has changed in your time with the church? When I was ordained, all Methodist ministers

(Dennis Manktelow)

This year you celebrate the 50th anniversary of your ordination. How old were you when you started and what drew you to the church?

were male. The Methodists entered the Uniting Church in 1977. These days a large number of ministers are women. Also, there are more specialist ministries these days – chaplaincies, experimental ministries. What else do you do in Macedon Ranges? Apart from part-time church work, I sing with

the Gisborne Singers and was secretary for a few years. I also support Macedon Ranges Health. What do you love about the Macedon Ranges community? We like the village atmosphere, the friendships and the beauty of the environment. Soon

after we moved to Riddells Creek, we climbed Hanging Rock and found it a bit spooky. We have explored many restaurants and our favourites are in Woodend and Kyneton. We also go to open gardens a lot as my wife is a keen gardener. I have visited many of the churches in the ranges and some of them, including the small ones, are really delightful, such as Lancefield Uniting.

A fun fitness routine you won’t want to skip In a time when you could layer pancakes with chocolate topping and ice-cream and eat pizza without thinking about your calorie intake, skipping was an activity done for fun as a kid.

1. Improved heart rate. Skipping is a great form of cardio exercise, and improving your heart capacity will help with shortness of breath and help increase stamina.

Well, perhaps it’s time to take that jump rope out of its hiding place, because skipping is an effective form of exercise. And when done on a regular basis, it’s a great way to improve your fitness.

2. Improved muscle tone. Skipping is a perfect way to tone your legs and lower body, and can help develop thigh, shin and calf muscles. It also works abs and arms.

All you need is a skipping rope and about 15 minutes, and here are some of the benefits you can expect:

3. Weight loss. It’s been shown that skipping for 30 minutes can burn about 300 calories. Some fitness professionals believe skipping can burn more calories than running.

4. Find your centre of gravity. Many martial artists, athletes, boxers and tennis players incorporate rope jumping into their training as it has the potential to improve footwork, balance, co-ordination and agility. 5. Price. Obviously it’s inexpensive, and it can be done by everyone, from beginners right through to fitness fanatics. It may be just a rope, but this simple tool can be a great help in improving any level of fitness, and kids do it for a reason: it’s fun! Eleanor Tabone

Designed by Alistair Knox and recently revamped, this fabulous abode with a luxurious vibe perches on four hectares of the Mount. Cooinda’s parkland gardens are truly magical, with some of their oldest specimen trees dating back to circa-1875 settlers. Totally secluded, the house has raked timber ceilings, gorgeous wooden floors and wall moulding, reclaimed slate flooring and inimitable character. Three secondary bedrooms are charmers and the en suite and bathroom they share are artistically chic. The stunning main bedroom has a fireplace, two walk-in wardrobes and stylish en suite, and a library space. A vast family-meals area also has a fireplace, and the farmhouse-cool kitchen has black Zimbabwean granite benches on lightly limed cabinetry; appliances are Miele. A cottage with living room, kitchen, bedroom and en suite is an absolute delight.

It’s only five minutes from the town centre, but this property of about 1.8 hectares is a lovely retreat for horse enthusiasts, keen gardeners or those looking for room to move. The homestead-style house has the school bus stop at the front gate and there are multiple sheds for hobbyists or tradies. Living areas include a carpeted lounge-dining room, and a large family-meals zone with wood heater. The smart kitchen, with great views from the sink, has a walk-in pantry, moveable island bench, abundant cupboards, stainless-steel wall oven and a ceramic cooktop under a canopy rangehood. Along with a study, there are four spacious bedrooms, the main with walk-in wardrobe and en suite with tub. A Colorbond double garage adjoins a freestanding double carport, a large covered pergola faces tree-dotted grassy expanses, and there’s another Colorbond shed/workshop as well.

On about 705 square metres and 10 minutes or less from the station and shopping precinct, this appealing abode has been designed with the pell-mell of family life in mind. It has, for example, floor tiles in the lounge room where visitors and family can gather around the fireplace. Timeless slate tiles line the family-meals area, which has the same multi-paned windows seen throughout. The house’s brick-and-slate era pointers are brightened with white wall paint in most rooms, and all is beautifully presented. Four large bedrooms include the main with enormous walk-in wardrobe and a spa en suite. The kitchen has timber cabinetry, stone benchtops, white splashback tiles and appliances including a dishwasher. Outdoors you’ll find an elevated covered deck, a man-cave with bar, a water tank, lawned backyard, a double garage, and underhouse storage.

Within a five-minute drive of train station, primary school and shops, this property of about 2.02 hectares goes by the name of Warrawong, an Aboriginal word meaning “side of hill”. It is a peaceful bush haven where wildlife visiting the pretty tree-rimmed dam and kookaburra laughter adds to the secluded ambience. The light-filled house has three large bedrooms, the main with walk-in wardrobe and en suite. An elegant, carpeted lounge-dining room has a timber-clad island wall housing a cast-iron fireplace. A charcoal-tiled family-meals room – with wood heater and split-system – has doors to a covered deck looking out to natural beauty. The kitchen has a wall oven, gas cooktop and ample timber cupboard. The well-maintained property has meandering garden paths, a bore, multiple water tanks, garden and wood sheds, and a double carport.

WOODEND 59 Henshalls Road, 3442 Keatings: 5427 2999

Price: $840,000

It’s hard not to start with the grounds – so let’s. This wonderful parcel of about 4 hectares masterfully balances botanic splendour, fruit and vegie abundance, a body of water and natural forest – as well as extensive workshop/hobby amenity in a “hidden” precinct. Botanic splendour? How about dozens of varieties of exotics such as golden elms, ashes, birches and Japanese maples, as well as ornamental shrubs, dense underplantings of cottage blooms and rose-covered arbour. And velvet lawn. Fruit and vegies? There’s a partially netted 40-tree orchard, while numerous large and enclosed vegie gardens make this

Private sale place a permaculture dream. And there’s a dog run tailor-made for chooks. About half the land is filled by eucalypt forest, preserved as a gift from nature (for a pony or mini-bike trail perhaps), while a picturesque dam with jetty adds another natural element. Built of double brick in the ’80s, the house has a pleasing, idiosyncratic style that incorporates stained ceiling straps and white-painted brick walls throughout, along with raked timber ceilings with exposed beams. Garden vignettes from all windows and a tranquil ambience are striking. Facing north and with big windows, the living hub flows between kitchen, meals

zone and a charming, carpeted sitting room with wood heater. The timber kitchen has an almost-boho vibe, with its quirky (old) glass-supported servery bench, beneath which is a timber-framed display cabinet for fave pieces, and an Everhot slow-combustion stove. Modern appliances include a stainless-steel dishwasher. Also facing north, a large separate lounge room provides a cosy winter retreat around a brick fireplace – though there is gas hydronic heating throughout. The main bedroom has twin built-in wardrobes and an en suite with a tub and enclosed toilet and bidet. The other bedrooms, with wardrobes, share a

bathroom, with a walk-in linen press next door. There’s also a tiled study (or fourth bedroom) with a magical garden view. Back outside, a driveway from automated entry gates entirely encircles the house and has another branch heading to the shedding area, which has an enormous expanse of concrete for vehicles or basketball. A huge double garage/workshop has a concrete floor, power and a lined hobby room. Another big workshop also has concrete and power. This terrific lifestyle property is five minutes from the village centre. Carole Levy

HOUSE & HOME

“Room for You and a Pony!”

4.5 Acres 117 Woodvale Crescent LANCEFIELD A peaceful escape for you, the family and a pony or two. Here is a very spacious and comfortable family home tucked quietly away with the benefits of town water and school buses at the front gate.

“GRUMPY AGAIN”

$620,000

At a time of year when we should be looking forward to Christmas; to time with family and a break from work, I am ‘Grumpy again’. I am shocked and horrified to learn that police personal and police cars are being rammed on a regular basis. I am disgusted that teenagers see fit to steal cars and to invade homes.

Double carport; double colorbond garage/workshop plus a second colorbond workshop add to the value. Enjoy the space on offer of .

The ranch style home is on a fabulous block, perfect for the horse enthusiast, the keen gardener or the family wanting room to play.

I was so terribly sad a few weeks ago when Richard and I babysat 3 of our grandsons, to find out that they checked every window and door and “Dad keeps a cricket bat under the bed just in case!” What a very sad, undisciplined and disrespectful world we seem to be living in. It would seem that ‘Rights’ have completely taken over from respect, responsibility, self-discipline and just plain old fashioned decency!

• Large main bedroom with full ensuite & spacious WIR • Bedrooms 2 & 3 are good double bedrooms with BIRs • Bedroom 4 plus spacious study • Spacious kitchen with walk-inpantry • Lovely family meals area • Wonderful family room with wood heater • Spacious formal lounge • Formal dining room • Large family bathroom • Spacious laundry with lots of storage • Colorbond workshop

I look at the number of businesses now closed in Australia and functioning overseas – would this be anything to do with workers having more rights than the employer? I wonder when we are going to realize that bad behaviour deserves severe consequences and when, oh when are our courts and our governments going to ‘grow up’ and give some backing and support to our wonderful police? Yes I am being very ‘Politically incorrect’ and I am ‘Grumpy again’. If you are also ‘Grumpy’ pick up a pen and write to newspapers and politicians and we may be able to make changes happen.

SPORT Sunbury loss sets tough run to year’s end Sunbury’s winning streak came to an end in Bowls Victoria Pennant division 1, section 1. Having won the past three rounds, Sunbury was hoping to make it a fourth straight win against second bottom side Werribee, to keep the pressure on the top four. Instead Sunbury struggled, losing 81 (16)-70 (2). Brad Janner’s rink was the only one to get a win, 21-14. Elise Cowan’s rink lost 24-18 and Shane Trewarne’s rink lost 24-20. Deeon Dean, who stepped up to skip in the absence of fill-in skip Brad Willoughby, lost 19-11. Both Mark Cowan and Carla Krizanic were away. Sunbury’s Dave Glennon said, despite the ladder difference, it was always going to be a hard match to win at Werribee and, despite the

loss, Sunbury sits sixth on the ladder in touch with the top four. Two of the top five sides – Melton and Deer Park – also suffered losses at the weekend. Glennon said the two pre-Christmas matches were important in the context of the season. “We now have two home games,” he said. “We play Preston Reservoir, which is struggling. We then have Glenroy, which is fighting for a top four spot. If we can win both matches, we could be in the top four heading into Christmas.” It was a mixed weekend for Sunbury’s sides with three teams getting wins. The second side had a 116 (18)-51 (0) win against Moonee Ponds and the third side is top of the ladder. Meanwhile, Sunbury’s Carla Krizanic has added a world championship to her string of

honours. Competing in New Zealand at the 2016 World Bowls Championships, Krizanic was part of the Jackaroos’ women’s fours teams, which defeated England in the final, 23-8. It’s her first world championship title. Krizanic still has the triples event to come. In the Central Highlands Bowls Division’s division 1, the top two sides had big wins to remain undefeated. Gisborne defeated Kyneton Golf, 110 (14)-78 (4), Lancefield won 126 (16)-65 (2) against Trentham, Romsey best Woodend, and Kyneton snuck home by one shot against Bacchus Marsh. In division 2, Diggers Rest, Gisborne Red, Kyneton Golf and Kyneton had wins. Tara Murray

Football

Madison Prespakis will train with the Western Bulldogs. (Jarrod Potter)

Madison Prespakis’s dream of becoming an AFL player may be a couple of years away, but the Romsey resident is already on the radar of AFL clubs. Prespakis is one of just 33 players from around Australia selected for a new elite academy, which prepares talented footballers to be drafted in the next couple of years. As part of the academy, the players get the chance to train with an AFL women’s team. Prespakis said she wasn’t even aware there was an academy until recently. “I had no idea,” she said. “They picked 30-or-so girls across Australia to be part of the academy. You go away in January for fitness testing and a four-day hike. “I found out a few weeks ago I would get to train with an AFL club … I then found out that club would be the Western Bulldogs.”

Prespakis said she was prepared for the challenge of training with the AFL side. She’s one of 10 bottom-age players in the academy who will get the same opportunities next year as well. “I know a few players who were drafted and they’ve taught me so much. I’m glad I can keep learning from them,” she said. “It’s definitely going to be challenging physically and mentally, but I think I can take on the challenge. “It’ll be a lot different to training with kids my own age … I’m expecting a lot of running. “Having played against older kids I think will help, I’ve got used to getting knocked around.” The 16-year-old says she’s also looking forward to learning to deal with injuries and rehabilitation, and learning about nutrition. Training with the Bulldogs adds to Prespakis’s already-busy football workload.

But she wouldn’t have it any other way. “I train with the Calder Cannons on a Monday and Wednesday and with my local club, Sunbury Lions, once a week; and now there’s the Bulldogs once a week. “I’m prepared to do the hard work. Each day I’m at school, I’m looking forward to heading to training.” Prespakis won the EDFL youth girls best and fairest award after finishing runner-up the year before. She’s hoping that spending two years getting to know the AFL system will help her be drafted for the 2019 season. Her fingers are crossed that the competition will have expanded to include the side she follows, Essendon. “I’ve always been an Essendon supporter and I’ve always said I’m going to play AFL for Essendon,” she said. “It would be a dream to play for them.”

Sunbury Lions players Simone Craige and Brooke Surgeon have been named in Geelong’s inaugural VFL pre-season training squad for next year. Having missed out on an AFL licence, the Cats decided to establish a VFL side in preparation for entering the AFL competition in years to come. The Cats are one of two AFL clubs (the other Hawthorn) to form a VFL side. The initial squad of 42 had players from the Geelong region, Sunbury, Bacchus Marsh and Lake Wendouree.

Gisborne opens up footy field to wider public embrace Gisborne will join the growing number of football clubs fielding women’s football sides next season. Having fielded a youth girls-side under the banner of Gisborne Rookies the past four seasons, the two Gisborne clubs, senior and junior, plan to have women’s, youth-girls and under-12 or 13 sides between them, all to play in the AFL Goldfields competition. Bulldogs’ Darren Mitchell said the timing was right to expand. “It’s about girls and women wanting to get involved in a team environment,” he said. “We’re looking for women and girls who might want to get involved and haven’t had the chance before. “We have four girls who have graduated to play senior football, and there will be another four next year.

“The girls don’t want to stop playing so having a senior side will give them opportunities to keep playing. “It’s not about winning games, it’s about the collaboration of teamwork and improving skills.” Mitchell said the introduction of the women’s side and an under-12 or 13 team would provide a pathway from Auskick through to senior women’s football in Gisborne. Anthony Carrigg has been appointed coach of the women’s side, and training is already under way. Currently, the women’s side has five players. “Anthony has been in Gisborne his whole life,” Mitchell said. “He was an assistant coach with the youth-girls and his daughter is graduating out of that team. When we started youth-girls we had only two girls. We’ve already

got 25 training for next season. Last season we had 24 girls play.” Mitchell said the senior club had been fully behind forming a senior women’s team. Senior vice-president David Williamson enjoys the prospect of having a senior women’s footy team join the football and netball club. “Women’s football is certainly on the rise and the GFNC welcomes the opportunity to give women the chance to take part in this great game,” he said. “A women’s team adds a new dynamic to our already-strong club. The interest it’s generated among supporters and sponsors has been fantastic.” Anyone interested in playing with either of the three sides, should call Darren on 0412 335 554 or at d.mitchell7@bigpond.com Tara Murray

Batsmen find their form By Tara Murray Sunbury finally found some form with the bat in the Gisborne and District Cricket Association’s McIntyre Cup. Despite sitting top of the ladder, Sunbury has struggled with the bat, failing to pass 180 in the first six rounds. On Saturday, it was a different story against Rupertswood, with key batsmen finding the middle of the bat. Four players made at least 60, as Sunbury posted a massive total of 320. Earlier, though, they were in trouble at 2-30. Sunbury playing coach Justin Nelson said they had spoken about the batting issues plaguing the senior sides during the week. “I put it on the boys during the week they need to bat out the whole 80 overs. It’s been our downfall across the whole club. “We seemed to place a higher value on our wickets. We had a couple of blokes make 50s early in the season, but they hadn’t had much

success. We had four blokes dig in on Saturday and make 50s.” Skipper Jason McGann top-scored, making 80, while Paul Webber made 67, Max Scott 65 and Nelson chipped in with 60. The match was Webber’s first top side match of the season. Nelson said his inclusion added much needed experience in the middle order. David McDonald was the best of the bowlers for Rupertswood, taking four wickets. The massive score puts Sunbury on track for its fifth win of the season and holds its top spot. Nelson said he was hoping this batting performance would be a sign of things to come. There’s still improvement to be had, with only

five players reaching double figures. “Bowling has been our strength and the bowlers have got us over the line,” he said. “You would like to think you don’t lose too many games when you make 320. “It’s always important to get early wins, otherwise it can bite you on the bum before Christmas.” The improved batting wasn’t just in the top side, with Sam Fisher carrying his bat for an unbeaten 116 in the C-grade competition. In other McIntyre matches, Riddell is on track for victory against Bacchus Marsh after bowling the Bulls out for 112. Heath Wadden took 3-10 off 8.2 overs for the Bombers. The Bombers resume at 2-36. Madushanka Ekanayaka has both wickets for the Bulls. Gisborne made 9-256 against Romsey, Jason Wilson made 57 and Jakson Knight made 55. Meanwhile, Diggers Rest Bulla made 9-197 in its crucial match against Woodend. Steven Fogarty top-scored with 48.

Sunbury’s Zach Guthrie was happy to go to any club to live out his AFL dream. His ideal outcome, though, would have been to be selected by Geelong, where his older brother Cameron plays. While fairytales don’t happen often in AFL, on this occasion things fell in favour of Guthrie. After missing out on being selected in Friday’s AFL national draft, Guthrie was taken at pick 33 by Geelong in Monday’s rookie draft. “It’s unthinkable,” he said after his selection. “To be going to a Victorian club and then be going to the same club as my brother, I’m rapt. Cam is at home and we heard the news at the same time. He’s rapt, as are our parents.” Guthrie, the runner-up in this year’s Calder Cannons’ best and fairest award, said there had been a bit of interest from the Cats during the year. He said after missing out on being selected in the national draft he kept his head high knowing the rookie version was just around the corner. Guthrie said he was ready to step into training and do the hard work. “If I do that, I’ll put my name in a good light. I’m a big believer in setting goals and I want to play for Geelong [senior team] as early in the season as I can. I want to be in the range of selection early on.” Guthrie said that, to start with, he would move to Geelong and likely live with his brother. Cameron won’t be the only familiar face at Geelong for Zach. Mark Blicavs is a family friend, while another of Zach’s brothers, Josh, made the Cats’ development list last year. Guthrie said he would love the opportunity to play with both of his brothers. “Josh is definitely doing as much as he can to play a few VFL games. It would be awesome to play a few games with him.” Guthrie wasn’t the only Cannons player to find a home in the rookie draft, with Ben Ronke taken by Sydney at pick 17. Ronke was the first of the pair to find a home, taken at pick 17 with Sydney’s first selection. “It’s been all a bit surreal; my head is still spinning,” Ronke said on Tuesday. “It’s been a good 12 months. I’m very privileged to get an opportunity and I’m not taking it for granted.” Tara Murray

ROD’S VERDICT A good thing, but I’d have the Evoque.

kay, I really like BMWs and I admit that, but with the X4 it’s true love. The moment I climbed in and the seat formed perfectly around me I was smitten. And it drives beautifully with usable power always on tap to make it delightfully flexible and a gearbox that you don’t even notice. Mostly it’s the feeling of body strength and integrity that’s so reassuring. This is a relaxing car in the country and, even if the ride gets a little firm across second-class surfaces and B roads, the distance tends to fall away. In town the X4 is the right size, nicely compact but with surprisingly good interior space that’s usable and practical. At one stage we had three across the back seat and it remained manageable and easy to get to the belts. The cargo room is excellent and it’s easy to park. The interior is beautifully finished and the surfaces are warm and tactile. The audio is pretty good. The electronics remain a mystery; pay attention when they are explained.

mall SUVs with rakishly cavalier rear rooflines have a problem – the view from the centre mirror is like looking out of a letter box. I didn’t think anything could be narrower than the Range Rover Evoque’s rear view but this X4 takes the cake. Make sure to set your side mirrors up properly because the blind spots are more blind than most. BMW is challenging the Evoque with the X4, and the Evoque HSE is a very good thing indeed and $13,000 cheaper. So is the BMW better? Well the diesel motor is a beauty and the cabin and fittings are typically BMW – luxurious certainly, but ordered and businesslike. The electronic menus are also typically BMW; designed by engineers. If you don’t think like an engineer then you must learn to do so. The handling is brilliant, the cost being ride quality that gets quite sharp. If your heart’s set on a BMW this is a really good one, but look at the top Evoque before signing the papers.

A nice place to be. I’ll take this over an Evoque any day.

4X4 MU-X LS-T

Type of Use School pick up duties and weekend adventures Q. Is this your first Isuzu? A. Yes Q. How does the previous vehicle you owned compare to your Isuzu? A. My MU-X can take me places I could never get to before. The fuel economy is better and I just love the feeling that I can go anywhere, even after picking the kids up from school. Q. Why did you choose to purchase the MU-X? A. I chose the MU-X because of the strong reputation of the Isuzu engine. I also read MU-X reviews online and spoke with friends and family and came to the conclusion that the MU-X was for me. Q. How do you mostly use your MU-X? A. I mostly use the MU-X as a school runabout. I’m also a bit of a weekend warrior and the MU-X is perfect for driving on the beach or towing the camper trailer in the bush. Q. Tell us about your favourite adventure in the MU-X? A. The MU-X is ideal for my surfing trips where it takes all our gear with ease. Recently, we spent four days in the Grampians with family and friends over Easter and the MU-X handled the dirt roads very well. We also go down to the Mornington Peninsula as much as possible to surf. The MU-X is great as it has seven seats, so the kids can bring their friends along too. Q. How you would rate your MU-X out of 5? A. 5 12333665-PB49-16 10047578-01
