Raids reap guns, drugs By Cameron Tait Military grade fully automatic firearms were seized as police swooped on properties across Wyndham on Tuesday following a series of armed robberies. The M16 and M4 rifles were found during raids on 10 properties at Point Cook, Seabrook, Wyndham Vale, Tarneit, Werribee and Williamstown. Eleven people, most in their 20s, were

A car believed to have been used in relation to the Sunbury hold-up was later found dumped and burnt out at Little River. It is believed drugs, cash and seven cars were seized on Tuesday, along with four firearms, including the two military grade weapons. The breakthrough comes after a $100,000 reward was offered last week in return for information. Detective Inspector Steve Clark, of the armed crime taskforce, said police were investigating

arrested over alleged connections to three armed robberies and an attempted armed robbery. They included the hold-up and shooting of a woman at a Sunshine West factory on October 8 last year, the robbery of a Derrimut cafe the same day, and an armed robbery involving a hold-up of a cash delivery van and its driver outside Sunbury McDonald’s and attempted robbery of a Keilor Park McDonald’s, both on December 1.

how the group obtained the high-powered rifles. He said how the group’s members became linked was also under investigation. “Motivation is an interesting question for police. Whether it’s drug-motivated or not, we’re not sure,” he said. “We’re really pleased members of the public have responded to the reward.” No charges had been laid at the time Star Weekly went to print. with The Age

City to splash out on second pool By Cameron Tait Ahead of the anticipated mid-year opening of the long-awaited $45 million Wyndham Leisure and Events Centre redevelopment, a second major indoor aquatics complex for the city is already on the starting blocks. Wyndham council’s updated draft aquatics strategy recommends that planning start this financial year for a new complex in the city’s north-west, potentially on council-owned land on Sayers Road in Tarneit. Initially, the council will undertake an assessment to determine the scope of the new

facility, with design to start in 2017-18 and construction to take place from 2022 at an estimated cost of $45-50 million. Answering a long-running campaign for a community aquatics centre in Point Cook, the strategy states the Wyndham Leisure and Events Centre [WLEC] would cater for that suburb’s residents. “Any council-funded aquatics facility in Point Cook would significantly overlap with the [WLEC] catchment and compete with services and programs, likely impacting on the operation performance of both,” the strategy states.

“Given the significant attractions that are being developed as part of the WLEC redevelopment, it is anticipated that Point Cook residents will continue to be attracted to the new facility. “However, it is appropriate the first two years of operations of the facility be reviewed and assessed with a view to council further considering, at that time, whether aquatics services to Point Cook residents are being adequately provided.” As part of the strategy, the Werribee Olympic Outdoor Pool – which has been operating year-round and for extended hours during

works on the WLEC – will revert to its regular summer season from November this year. But a review will be undertaken of the pool’s operations in mid-2017, taking into account shifting weather patterns, community demand and whether further development or upgrades are “warranted and feasible”. When complete, the WLEC will include a new 50-metre pool, a 25-metre learn-to-swim pool, a water therapy pool, children’s play area, two giant waterslides and a 950-metre gym. For more details, go to www.wyndham.vic. gov.au.

That morning the Point Cook mother woke up feeling unwell but, initially, didn’t give it a second thought. “I was feeling confused and was starting to see black dots in front of my eyes. Then I started having my first seizure and collapsed.” Mrs Dima was rushed to Sunshine Hospital where she underwent a series of tests. “I thought I had lost my baby,” she said. “I was told it may be pre-eclampsia and as soon I heard that I had a second seizure, which was worse than the first. “The doctors later said they needed to get the baby out straight away otherwise she could die because my organs were starting to shut down.” Diagnosed with the rare HELLP Syndrome, ST PE S EE A E ICE IB CH PR RR E W IN

Everything, everyone new at Truganina P-9 When the bell rang at Truganina P-9 College last Thursday morning, there were plenty of nerves – and not just for the pupils. Opening its doors for the first time, the school welcomed 200 pupils from prep to grade 6, with years 7 to 9 to follow in 2016. Principal Jenny Crowle said the Clearwood Drive campus would eventually be home to between 800 and 1000 pupils, with three teaching blocks for each of the junior, middle and senior classes. Jessie Patterson, now embarking on her fourth year as a teacher, said it was exciting to be part of a new school. “My mother was a teacher. I just love helping children to learn,” she said.

“I always wanted to be a teacher and to be able to see young people grow and develop, which is very rewarding. “To have the opportunity to take children to a new place in their lives is a fantastic feeling.” More than 900,000 students will attend Victorian schools in 2015. Cameron Tait

Dumped ‘religious items’ furore Two men who reportedly dumped a garbage bag in a western suburbs’ creek last week, claiming it was for religious reasons, have caused a community uproar. A Facebook user posted on an Altona page that her son interrupted the pair dumping a bag in Skeleton Creek, which runs through Point Cook and Altona Meadows before flowing into Port Phillip Bay and is a creek of Aboriginal spiritual significance. She said her son took a photo of the men’s car, which prompted them to retrieve the bag

before they followed her son to the family home. The men showed them the contents of their bag – ash, brass candle holders, wax, boxes and packaging – and tried to justify their actions, saying it was a requirement of their Hindu faith. “The two men said the contents of the bag were items used in a religious event and had to be put into water,” the Facebook user said. “[My family member] informed him, ‘not in any waterway of Australia was this acceptable’. “If Hindus must dispose of their religious items in water, then hire a container and send

the bloody stuff back to the Ganges and leave our creeks, rivers and oceans alone.” But a Hindu community leader described the men’s actions as “really strange” and their claims as inaccurate. Hindu Community Council of Victoria general secretary Bhakta Dasa said it was extremely rare that an item had to be discarded for religious reasons. And, he said, this could be done in an environmentally-friendly and lawful manner. “As far as the actual injunction is concerned in Hindu scriptures, it’s only very,

very sacred items … like, say, for example, a deity or an icon,” Mr Dasa said. “But that doesn’t include candles or boxes or anything like that. It’s only when it’s a religious icon like a statue of one of the demi-gods or gods. “It would happen once in a century perhaps or very, very rarely. It’s not that you would discard an icon whimsically,” Mr Dasa said. “I’m part of an executive of a major temple here in Melbourne and we have things that have to be discarded at times, but we do it in a way that’s actually environmentally friendly and conducive with our society here.”

‘Deep concern’ over city’s pokies By Cameron Tait Punters poured an average of $11,000 every hour into Wyndham’s 891 poker machines in the last six months of 2014. Figures from the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation reveal that $47.7 million was pumped into poker machines at 13 pubs and clubs across the city between July and December last year. In the 2013-14 financial year, more than $90 million went into Wyndham’s poker machines, equivalent to $626 for each adult resident. The highest spending tallies were

recorded by the Werribee Plaza Tavern ($7.4 million), followed by Werribee’s Commercial Taverner ($6.7 million) and Laverton North’s Westside Taverner ($4.6 million). In June last year, Wyndham council relaxed its zero tolerance approach to gaming machines in an attempt to gain more control over their location. The council’s new electronic gaming policy specifies shopping strips and centres where gaming machines are banned and includes assessment criteria to ensure council decisions on gaming applications are more likely to be upheld.

Victorian Inter-Church Gambling Taskforce chairman Mark Zirnsak told Star Weekly he was “deeply concerned” by Wyndham’s figures. “The losses are high because Wyndham has a higher concentration of machines than the average in Melbourne and key reforms to reduce problem gambling have not been introduced,” Dr Zirnsak said. “Venue operators seek to place machines where they can make the most money. “Unfortunately, this has seen machines concentrated in areas with higher concentrations of vulnerable people.”

Dr Zirnsak said the taskforce believed Victoria should follow New Zealand’s example and allow councils to set limits on the number of gaming machines in their communities. “They [councils] can also reject increases in machines and, if a venue closes or reduces its machines, they can refuse to allow the machines or the venue to be replaced,” he said. Dr Zirnsak said the state government should also require gaming venues to identify and help people who show signs of problem gambling; it should also restrict losses to $1 per push and require all gaming venues to close between midnight and 10am.

Brimbank Park is in good hands as a passionate former refugee joins the Parks Victoria ranks as a trainee ranger this month. Hsar Thein Ju, 22, is the first person in the state to be offered a two-year traineeship, awarded for his tireless volunteer work at Brimbank Park and Werribee Park in the past two years. The Tarneit resident started a community garden vegetable patch in Brimbank Park in the hope of uniting the Karen community. The Karen people live near the ThailandMyanmar border. Werribee Plains chief ranger James Brincat said the garden – as well the the plants he grew in the Werribee Park Nursery – honed Mr Thein Ju’s knack for horticulture. “After working with him for a few months, it became very clear that he’s a young man who has the desire and aptitude for horticulture,” Mr Brincat said.

(Supplied)

Ranger in a new patch “He’s already a pro, and his ability to learn anything to do with the outdoors is amazing. “He has the makings of tomorrow’s ranger and he has a very gentle way of getting people to work together as a team.” Mr Thein Ju speaks four languages – Karen, Thai, Burmese and English. It’s a talent that will be beneficial for community work. “I’m so excited for this chance,” he said. “I’ve always been interested in flora and fauna, so for me this is a dream job.”. As part of the paid traineeship, granted through an Australian Migrant Education Service (AMES) and Parks Victoria partnership program, he will complete a certificate III in parks and gardens at Gordon University and spend time in the field.

Kevin Hillier says better manners are needed in retail security

hose of us old enough to remember football being played at VFL Park Waverley still joke about parking attendants who used to don the vest and make out like you were parking in their lounge room. My point is there are ways of getting the job done without being obsessed and disregarding the person you are dealing with. I witnessed something unsavoury at a major retailer last week that sparked this piece. A man holding a baby and a woman pushing a pram were leaving the store and were asked to open bags, as is the norm. The problem here was the manner in which the security person went about what is normal procedure. I have to say she was aggressive, curt and over zealous in checking out every nook and cranny of the pram. Take what happened to my wife at another major retailer. She had her shopping bag, from another iconic brand, loused over by the security person. While it was never said, it certainly was intimated that she had an unpaid item in that bag which she had shoplifted from

the store. The inquisition continued when the receipt from the brand bag was poured over item by item, and in a very aggressive manner. Since when is this the norm ? I would love to hear your experiences in this area. While I agree with being vigilant and efficient in your job, this seems a bit over the top.

o the new Cherry Street land purchase by the council is going to be a single storey car park to alleviate the CBD parking problems. That is just genius. I hope they are planning a second storey to manufacture left-handed screw drivers and ashtrays for motorbikes, because this would be about as useful to the business community.

am happy to acknowledge your comments re the Weerama Festival but I do not think I am being cynical, as some have suggested. Realistic is a word I would have used instead. As always, your thoughts are welcome, even if a former mayor suggested otherwise on social media. ■

Dutch officials arrived in Wyndham last week to inspect the site of a proposed 205-hectare agricultural precinct at Woodhouse Station, near Eynesbury. Developers plan to prepare a range of greenhouse sites ranging from five to 20 hectares. Dutch Consul-General Willem Cosijn said there was a “real possibility” these would be taken up by relocating investors and growers from the Netherlands. Committee for Wyndham chief executive Chris Potaris said the project had the potential to create up to 4000 new jobs and a new industry for the region.

Main to water west’s growth By Charlene Macaulay Work has started on a new $30 million water main that will service 40,000 homes across the west. The Water for a Growing West project involves constructing a 17-kilometre pipeline to transfer drinking water from St Albans Reservoir to Cowies Hill Reservoir at Tarneit. Spanning Brimbank, Melton and Wyndham, the main is designed to transfer up to 200 megalitres of water a day, the equivalent of

80 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The main will be laid largely under existing power lines between Station Road at Albanvale and Robinsons Road at Deer Park. At Tarneit, the pipeline alignment will follow Tarneit and Leakes roads then cross into Penrose Promenade, where it will merge with Melbourne Water’s existing water main next to Snowbridge Road. The new main is expected to be completed by November this year. Melbourne Water project manager Peter Clark said while the existing network was

performing well, an additional main was required to meet future demand, as populations across the west, particularly in Wyndham, grow. He said water services would not be affected during the construction period. “Wyndham is one of the fastest-growing

areas in Melbourne and we’ve been working closely with City West Water to make sure drinking water supplies keep pace with the region’s growth,” Mr Clark said. “The extensive planning has also enabled us to achieve significant project savings by looking at how recycled water use could offset drinking water demand, which meant we could downsize the size of pipe required. “The water main will be built largely under existing power lines and within current and future road reserves to minimise disturbance to landowners.”

Werribee Secondary College achieved international school accreditation, becoming the first Victorian government school to offer the International Baccalaureate at diploma level. “Of our VCE and International Baccalaureate combined, 27 students last year achieved ATAR scores greater than 90 per cent.

Slow now for quicker trips later By Cameron Tait Speed restrictions have been put in place on the Maltby Bypass as work on the Sneydes Road interchange project gathers pace. The speed limit of traffic travelling in both directions will be reduced from 100km/h to 80km/h until the end of next year. The new diamond interchange will give motorists, particularly those in Point Cook, an alternative access route to the Princes Freeway, making it easier to get to Melbourne and Geelong.

The interchange will be built in two stages, with the Melbourne-bound lanes to be constructed before work starts on the Geelong-bound lanes, followed by replacement of the bridge over the freeway. The project is part of a $72 million government investment into transport and planning infrastructure at Point Cook and East Werribee that also includes a realignment and widening of Sneydes Road and signals at the Hoppers Lane and Sayers Road intersection, both jobs being scheduled for completion in the next 12 months.

VicRoads project director Tony Hedley asked motorists to be patient. “The changed speed limit will have a minimal impact on travel times, with existing traffic lanes remaining in operation,” he said. “Once the project is completed in late 2016, the speed limit will be returned to 100 km/h.

“During construction of the Princes Freeway overpass and ramps, access will generally remain unchanged on Sneydes Road and Hoppers Lane. “However, temporary lane closures and reduced speed limits may be required to ensure the safety of road workers and road users. “The new interchange will provide access to the new East Werribee Employment Precinct, improve traffic flow in and around Werribee and Point Cook … and reduce congestion on Palmers, Forsyth and Point Cook roads.”

Nab the paw-fect prize All pooches great and small are urged to put their best paw forward for this month’s Yarraville Festival Dog and Pet Fashion Parade. Yarraville Village Animal Hospital veterinarian Dr Rhonda Dunmill said the popular parade and events offered trophies, a cash prize and gift vouchers and products from local traders. “The prizes are bigger than ever this year,” she said. Dr Dunmill is hoping to see “the craziest and most imaginatively dressed animals, and even their owners” steal the limelight. Comedian, musician and author Rusty Berther will MC this year’s event at 11am on Sunday, February 15. Enter at yarraville.villagevet@hotmail.com or phone 9689 8100. Benjamin Millar

A massive 22 truckloads of books, computers, magazines and other literary paraphernalia have been rehoused at Wyndhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Plaza library building. The library relocated last week from the corner of Derrimut and Heaths roads at Hoppers Crossing to its new premises on the first floor of the Werribee Plaza shopping centre. The move not only marks the beginning of a new chapter for the library but also for the $370 million plaza, which includes a 35,000m2 expansion of new department stores, cinemas and 1500 car parks. Streams of local bibliophiles turned out for the libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s January 27 opening, including Wyndham mayor Peter Maynard. Cr Maynard said the new position will give residents better access to library services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More than 300,000 people visit the libraries each year and we anticipate, with the move to this new location, the Plaza library will see even more visitors from the Wyndham community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By moving the library to its convenient new location at Werribee Plaza, Wyndham is ensuring residents have better access to the great resources its libraries have to offer,â&#x20AC;? Cr Maynard said. The new library includes public access computers, teensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; areas and space for community groups to meet, as well as 79,000 items on the shelves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are dedicated quiet study spaces, great for those looking for some solitude and peace in which to study. The computers and scanning equipment make assignments and projects a breeze,â&#x20AC;? Cr Maynard said. Details: www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/libraries

Cuddle cots give time to mourn By Cameron Tait Steve and Kath Currie have experienced every parent’s worst nightmare. When the couple lost their daughter, Melinda Grace, to stillbirth at Werribee Mercy Hospital in July 2013, they weren’t ready to say goodbye straight away. In these moments, time is precious and every second counts. While the Seabrook couple were unable to spend as much time as they would have liked with their daughter, their experience triggered a fundraising campaign to help parents in similar circumstances.

‘‘

I wish I could have the chance to have that time - Kath Currie over again

’’

The community – in particular, PCL Construction and the residents of Point Cook Village – threw its support behind the campaign. Last week, the couple were back at the hospital to present two cuddle cots, which they hope will help ease some of the pain for parents after losing a child. Cuddle cots have a cooling system which allows babies who have passed away to stay in a room with their families for up to a week. Mrs Currie said she had been overwhelmed by the generosity of the public. “I’m blown away my little girl has touched so many people,” she said. “As a parent, when you lose a baby, you know your time with them is limited. “These cuddle cots give parents more time, which will make a world of difference. “I’ve spoken to mothers who only got to

hold their babies for 10 minutes and, 50 years later, they still feel the hurt. “I remember when we were about to leave hospital, I was walking Melinda around the maternity ward thinking, this is the last time I’m going to be able to see her.

“I wish I could have the chance to have that time over and over again.” Mercy Heath women’s and children’s program director Megan Burgmann said the cots would provide an invaluable opportunity for parents to bond with their babies.

“They’re a beautiful idea for what are really traumatic circumstances,” she said. “These cots can greatly assist with the grieving process and they help parents and families to acknowledge their baby and create special memories together.”

KNOW YOUR GRASSFIRE RISK THIS SUMMER

If you live near open grassland, parks, paddocks or reserves, you could be impacted by grassfire.

IT’S UP TO YOU TO KNOW WHAT TO DO IF A FIRE STARTS. DO YOU LIVE ONE OR TWO STREETS AWAY FROM GRASSLAND? Stay inside your home – grassfires are unlikely to spread past the first row of houses Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

DO YOU LIVE ON A FENCELINE NEXT TO GRASSLAND? If a fire starts, quickly move one or two streets away from the fenceline or park boundary Act early, even if you haven’t received a warning Keep the roads clear so emergency services can respond

Remember, it’s up to you to monitor weather conditions and warnings. Always keep an eye on the conditions outside - you may be aware of a fire before emergency services. If you see smoke or flames, call Triple Zero (000).

Builders sign up for Jubilee

Preps Umaiza, Lily and Trisha practise their Auslan. (Joe Mastroianni)

Hands, fingers say a lot By Cameron Tait Preps at Truganina South Primary School are learning a new language – without speaking a word. With schools now required to teach a language other than English at least three hours a week, Truganina pupils have started learning Auslan, an Australian version of sign language.

Principal Mandy O’Mara says the move has already been embraced by pupils, parents and the broader school community. “They’re starting off with the basic signs, like hello and goodbye,” she said. “The children have been really receptive. “We have such a multicultural community and it was really difficult to choose any one particular language, so we selected Auslan. “When we asked parents, their preference

was Auslan and we’ve had some great feedback.” Mrs O’Mara said pupils were being taught songs in Auslan, with the school eventually hoping to form a signing choir. “Research has proven the earlier you start teaching children a language the more successful they are,” she said. “Eventually, we hope we’ll be able to form partnerships with deaf schools.”

The builder line-up for a cutting-edge display village at Wyndham Vale’s new community, Jubilee, has been unveiled. Jubilee’s massive 30-home display village will open early next year with five separate village nodes and an abundance of amenities. An estimated 20,000 residents will have easy access to the Ballan Road estate’s proposed schools, employment precincts, shops, clubs and recreational reserves. Lotus Living managing director Peter Bozzo said the development had drawn unprecedented builder interest, including new designs by renowned Melbourne builders including Boutique, Burbank, Carlisle Homes, Dennis Family Homes, Fairhaven Homes, Granvue Homes, Homebuyers Centre, Metricon, Mimosa, Simonds and Urban Edge Homes. Boutique Homes spokesman Simon Mongan said he was excited to see even more diverse lifestyle options enter the ever-popular west. “First, second and third home buyers are finding a better quality of life in the west thanks to the infrastructure and amenity communities such as Jubilee bring,” he said. “We can see how much thought has gone into the longevity and usability of this new community and can’t wait to see it start to grow.” For details, go to www.myjubilee.com. au.

With about 53 per cent of adults in Wyndham overweight or obese, it’s not simply down to the individual’s willpower. “The [HTW] team is working at the grass-roots level to influence policy, develop strategies, create sustainable partnerships and implement programs.”

(Pictures: Thinkstock)

It’s the fight against fat that we need to have. With more than half of Wyndham’s residents overweight or obese, drastic action is needed to improve healthy eating habits across the municipality. The statistics are both startling and alarming. In Wyndham, only 5 per cent of adults eat enough vegetables. About 53 per cent of residents are overweight or obese. Almost 25 per cent of women in Wyndham smoke, compared with 17 per cent across Victoria. More than 40 per cent of adults and more than 85 per cent of 13 to 17 year olds do not get enough daily activity. For the past two and a half years, a world-leading program aimed at fighting the growing fat epidemic has been operating out of the City of Wyndham. Healthy Together Wyndham (HTW), funded by the Victorian government, is one of 12 Healthy Together communities across Victoria that have caught the attention of health policy makers in New Zealand, Wales, South Africa and Canada for their local approach to a global health problem. HTW works with workplaces, schools, kindergartens, childcare centres, sports clubs and community organisations to create healthier environments and make healthy choices easier for the Wyndham community. And now, Star Weekly is joining the fight.

Peas … I want more The humble pea is back – bigger and greener than ever. Give Peas a Chance, a healthy eating campaign launched by Healthy Together Wyndham nearly two years ago, is being expanded to encourage local pre-schoolers to eat more vegies. This year, 54 Wyndham kindergartens and long day care centres have been invited to get involved. Wyndham councillor and community well-being portfolio holder Bob Fairclough said, initially, the healthy eating campaign involved pop-up kitchens offering advice about choices, with samples of tasty, healthy foods. “We’re very pleased to see this fantastic campaign expanded to encourage pre-schoolers across Wyndham to eat more vegetables,” Cr Fairclough said. “The range of four different vegetables promoted in the 2013 campaign has now been expanded to 12, including capsicum,

NEWS

spinach, beetroot, tomatoes … and more.” Each month, a new vegetable will be the focus of kindergarten and child care activities. Tip sheets have been designed to give parents some easy and delicious ideas to bring vegetables back into the family’s diet. “The new-look Give Peas a Chance campaign will demonstrate to local families that vegies aren’t expensive or difficult to prepare,” Cr Fairclough said. “It’s important that parents have all the right tips for making vegies a delicious part of daily meals. A healthy diet helps children form good life-long health habits. “We hope the fun activities we’ve designed around 12 different vegetables will give youngsters an appreciation of real food in all its flavours.” Wyndham’s Give Peas a Chance campaign received a high commendation at the Victorian Health Promotion Awards in December last year.

Healthy Together Wyndham has so far reached almost 54,500 residents, or 34 per cent of our population. In Wyndham: • For every one fresh fruit and vegetable outlet in Wyndham there are seven fast food outlets. • Less than three per cent of residents eat enough fruit and vegetables. • About 54 per cent of all residents are overweight or obese. • More than eight out of every 10 Wyndham adolescents don’t get the recommended daily physical exercise.

MY WYNDHAM Not everyone can say they spend most of their week volunteering in the local community, but that’s exactly what Werribee resident Daniel Ramudu does. “I like to work in the community and give back to it,” he tells Rebecca Miller

What do you like about your neighbourhood? I love its diversity and multiculturalism. I like walking and cycling along the Federation Trail; it’s beautiful to see the birds and nature at their best. I enjoy swimming at Werribee South beach and visiting Werribee Mansion, and we’re in a handy spot, not far from the city. What would you change in your neighbourhood? We need more car parking spots, cycling lanes and footpaths to make it easier to get around. Our public transport system also needs updating as it’s hard to get in and out of Werribee. More police are needed to look after

(Joe Mastroianni)

What’s your connection to the local community? I’ve been a member and volunteer at St Thomas Anglican church in Werribee for 15 years. For the past six years I’ve volunteered at Werribee Mercy Hospital’s emergency department by distracting children through books and toys and chatting with parents. Every Friday morning I volunteer at the Red Cross Breakfast Club at Wyndham Primary School helping to feed the children. I’m also involved with the Youth Referral Independent Person Program where I act as a witness for minors who need one, and I volunteer with the St Vincent De Paul Op Shop. I also help out for the Weerama Festival and the Multiple Sclerosis Society. We need more volunteers in Wyndham. I recommend it as it’s a great feeling to help people and share your knowledge with them.

the community, and we need extra lights and rubbish bins.

What’s your favourite eatery and place to get coffee? Shadoxfax Winery has excellent wines and music, and Baffetti Ristorante on Watton Street is great for coffee, lunch or dinner. We do need

What do you remember being in Wyndham that’s no longer there? I migrated from England to Werribee 30 years ago and have seen a lot of change in that time. When I arrived, there was virtually nothing

I AM Federal Member for Lalor

Dear Resident, We are all very proud of our fellow Victorian, Rosie Batty, being awarded the 2015 Australian of the Year. Rosie is already a great advocate in highlighting domestic violence issues and this profile will hopefully enable her to continue this vital work. I welcome the establishment, by the Andrews Government, of a Royal Commission into Family Violence. The Royal Commission will investigate the entire family violence support system and justice system from the ground up, including government and non-government organisations, courts, prosecutors, police, corrections and child protection. I also welcome the Wyndham Council’s initiative to establish a family violence prevention committee, another positive step to helping those affected by violence in the home. Unfortunately our community appears too often in the statistics as having high, and unfortunately growing, levels of family violence. We must work together as a community to find solutions and support those who are affected. If you or someone you know, needs support or assistance, for family violence or any federal matter, please do not hesitate to contact my office. Yours sincerely

Two young Truganina firefighters had a narrow escape from death when they had to dash through flames while fighting a grassfire on Saturday. Jeff Davis suffered burns to his arms when he and Greg Myers made their dash for safety. He was admitted to Werribee District Hospital and discharged on Monday. The two neighbours were quickly on the scene of a fire at Dohertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Woods roads, Truganina, just after midday with Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire-fighting ute tanker.

One match did more to cripple the Truganina CFA brigadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firefighting capacity than the disastrous Little River fires could manage. The match was used to light a fire which destroyed one of the brigadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fire trucks last Wednesday night. Brigade captain John Morton said he was angry and disappointed that someone could deliberately destroy the shed and the fire truck it contained.

The father of 16-year-old bash victim Noel Susay has urged the public to help police track down the attackers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Noel is lucky heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big boy (more than 180 centimetres) because if he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he would now have brain damage,â&#x20AC;? Mr Joe Susay said. Noel was walking home with friends from Werribee railway station along Market Road on January 24 when a car stopped and youths leapt out and beat him with a baseball bat, fracturing his skull and causing brain haemmorage.

A 22-year-old Werribee man was rushed to hospital with life-threatening injuries after he was stabbed in a brutal knife attack on Sunday. Werribee detectives are waiting to talk to the man, who is still heavily sedated following emergency surgery to repair a punctured bowel and liver. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s believed he was visiting a friend in Manorvale Parade when another man arrived at the house about 3.45am.

CONTEMPORARY HOMES

WYNDHAM HARBOUR / LIVE LIKE YOU’RE ALWAYS ON HOLIDAY

ith palm trees rustling in the breeze, Norfolk pines forming a welcoming avenue, and views of the city standing tall to the north-east over the blue of Port Phillip Bay, Wyndham Harbour is shaping up as an attractive enclave. The $440 million development offers an exciting and sophisticated lifestyle and the housing mix of apartments, townhouses and family homes is designed to appeal to a wide range of buyers. About 350 houses and 265 apartments and townhouses are being built on 25 hectares. The first apartment block, Marina Quays, is complete and residents have moved in and several houses are under construction. The focus of the development is a large marina which will be the only recreational boat harbour between Williamstown and Geelong. When all stages are complete, the harbour will provide up to 1000 berths, with dry storage for up to 390 boats, servicing facilities and a club. Swimming beaches will be created at either end of the harbour. The first stage of the marina will be open and operational in time for summer 2015-16. Wyndham Harbour’s “town centre” is Marina Square, a public area shaded by palm trees, which offers a place for residents and visitors to unwind and relax. The lush lawn is perfect for kicking back with a book or as a place for the children to play. The square has already hosted several events and will increasingly be used for activities. Spokeswoman for Wyndham Harbour, Sonya Miller, said that likely future events would be food festivals, live music and carols by candlelight. Flanking the square, at the base of the Marina Quays apartment building, is Joe’s Corner café. Once the marina is operational, the vision is for a range of additional hospitality venues along the lines of an Italian restaurant and provedore, and a gourmet fish and chip shop. Marina Quays is stylish and contemporary and, as the name suggests, it has the beguiling atmosphere of a holiday resort rather than an apartment building. It is angled to maximise marina and bay views and surrounded by open space and landscaped gardens. Only two apartments remain on the market in Marina Quays. The second apartment building, The Lighthouse, designed by SJB Architects, is selling now with apartments starting from $355,000. Tennis courts, a landscaped recreation

area, open space and bike paths and walking trails throughout Wyndham Harbour will encourage an active, outdoor lifestyle. The area is also known as a good fishing spot. Excellent services and amenities are close by in this fast-moving area. Werribee has all the commercial and services infrastructure of a regional city along with sporting facilities and entertainment. The city centre, river and Wyndham Park are all being treated to a massive upgrade. Werribee Plaza, in neighbouring Hoppers Crossing, is undergoing a $370 million redevelopment and will be renamed Pacific Werribee. The new centre will include a two-level Myer store, 120 new shops and kiosks, a new fresh food area with two supermarkets, and a cinema. Point Cook Town Centre offers two supermarkets, a Target store, a large range of services and speciality shops. Sanctuary Lakes shopping centre is nearby. There is a lot to like in the local leisure options as well. Golfers are well catered for with Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club on one side and Werribee Park Golf Club on the other. Point Cook Coastal Park offers activities for families with wetlands, reserves and a marine sanctuary. Werribee Open Range Zoo, with its calendar of activities throughout the year, is nearby. Wyndham Harbour residents can indulge locally in some of the more exciting activities to be had. Learn to fly, or view your new home from the air during a joy flight from Point Cook Airfield, the oldest operating airfield in the world and birthplace of the RAAF. The area also celebrates equine activities in all their glory. Werribee Racing Club holds regular meetings which offer all the excitement and talent of the city tracks, but with a more relaxed atmosphere. Think the city meets picnic races. Werribee Park Equestrian Centre is a world-class facility hosting Olympic riders and international events. It has indoor and outdoor arenas, show jumping areas, dressage areas, a cross-country course and two polo fields. For thrills of a tastier kind – try lunch or dinner and entertainment at Shadowfax Winery or fine dining at beautiful, historical Werribee Mansion. Primary and secondary schools,

kindergartens and several medical centres are 10 minutes away from Wyndham Harbour. Melbourne CBD is about 30 minutes by car and Geelong is 40 minutes away. Buses connect Wyndham Harbour and Werribee South with Werribee railway station. Eight bus routes leave from the station as well as trains to Melbourne and Geelong. An exciting proposition for the area is a ferry service, aimed at tourists and commuters, which will incorporate Wyndham Harbour

and travel to Docklands. The service has not been confirmed. Tours of Marina Quays apartments are held each weekend at noon, 2pm and 4pm. Beverley Johanson » www.wyndhamharbour.com.au ■ NEXT

I’d love to find a home with someone who is around a lot. I’d love to be your jogging companion. I’m full of beans and would love to learn how to be on my best behaviour.

If you like to give pats, we’ll get along just fine. My coat is short, but a quick brush every now and then will keep me looking my best. I am very familyorientated and would love to live with a family and kids. I may be happy living with a friendly desexed male bunny. I am desexed.

The benefits of pet insurance

Pet insurance is becoming more and more popular in Australia as the benefits of covering pets against illnesses and accidents are recognised. Pet insurance offers you peace of mind as unexpected medical costs for your pet can be hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars. Sadly many pets are euthanased every year because owners are unable to meet unexpected medical costs. There are multiple pet insurance companies, so ensure you research and find one that suits your particular pet and its lifestyle. Individual schemes vary in the type of procedures covered and exclusions may include routine vaccinations or costs incurred with breeding. Insurance is invaluable if your pet breaks a leg, develops

On paying your account to your vet, you can submit a claim to the insurance company, who will then reimburse you a large percentage of the total costs. Some policies do have an excess and an annual limit when making a claim. You cannot claim for preexisting illnesses, and there may be a pet age limit of eight years for starting a new policy. The cost of insurance will also vary depending on the type of cover you choose, but as with house and car insurance, it will be worth its weight in gold should you need it. Our clinic offers four weeks free pet insurance to all new puppies and kittens.

While this house does an excellent job of maintaining the illusion of a Federation style, entry into the open foyer reveals a residence that focuses on the flexibility of contemporary open-plan living. The lounge and rumpus rooms provide plenty of space to relax, while the large family-meals zone adjoins a kitchen containing all the mod-cons: stainless-steel dishwasher, underbench oven, gas cooktop and canopy rangehood. Serviced by the main bathroom, three of the four bedrooms have built-in wardrobes; the main has a walk-in wardrobe and full en suite. The lush garden and deck area in the backyard offers a secluded spot to read or simply relax. Extra features are double-glazed windows at the front, ducted heating and cooling, high ceilings and security system. Within easy walking distance of schools, parks and gardens, as well as Point Cook Town Centre, faux-Fed living is looking good.

Here, in a quiet corner of Werribee, families or investors may have found the property they’re looking for with this residence. The main bedroom has an en suite and walk-in wardrobe; the other two are serviced by the main bathroom. The kitchen, with a 600mm wall oven, dishwasher, cooktop with fixed rangehood, and a breakfast bar, flows seamlessly into the tiled family-meals area. And a living room at the front provides a quiet place to unwind. Additional features include ceiling fans, ducted heating and a split-system.

Living within a ball toss of walking trails along Lollypop Creek is one of many desirable attributes of this fine property.

Entry is via a double-height foyer anchored by polished slate floor tiles, which continue into the living hub at the back.

Private sale

With no stinting on size, the main bedroom has a large walk-in wardrobe and an en suite with dual vanity basins and blue-rose capping tiles. On the left of entry, there’s an open study with grey carpet (all carpet is new throughout) and a charcoal feature wall. Opposite, a wide, columned entry ushers in a carpeted lounge-dining room, big in

size and elegant in presentation, which is enhanced by a wall of Tasmanian oak display cabinetry. A powder room is just next door, so perfectly placed for guests. The kitchen has lots of Tassy oak cupboards, a corner pantry, wall oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher; the sink, set in a wide bay window under a downlight-studded bulkhead, has views of the covered pergola. The next-door (carpeted) rumpus room has a vaulted plaster ceiling and Georgian-style fanlight, the same as the

one above the front door. Very pretty views of the tiled spa and surrounding gardens can be enjoyed from this room – an appealing leafy haven, courtesy of a pond with lily pads and tropical plantings against rendered screens. Big ticks for this spot. Ducted heating and cooling, ducted vacuum, a split-system, alarm, and a double garage with back roller door opening to extensive paving, are other goodies in the Lollypop bag.

Notice of Works

Level Crossing Research Project Aviation Road, Laverton The Australian Rail Track Corporation would like to advise that contractors will be installing level crossing monitoring equipment at Aviation Road, Laverton this month (February 2015), as part of a university trial to learn how safety can be improved at railway level crossings. Installation will take place over two weeks from 7 February 2015. Night works are taking place but we do not expect any excessive noise or light spill. There is no enforcement element or fines associated with the trial. A traffic management plan will be in place throughout the work. With 50 per cent of near hits and collisions occurring at protected level crossings, we hope you can support the aims of this trial. Thank you for your patience while these works are undertaken. Please call 1800 800 007 for more information.

Bathing, bartering the Thai way By Rebecca Miller Sà-wàt-dee kâ (a greeting, like welcome) was one of the first words I heard after landing on the buzzing Thai island of Koh Samui. The island looks as good in real life as on postcards … just a pity about the smell of sewage. It lingers with the humidity, but that’s soon forgotten as you splash in the waters of Chaweng Beach. Thai entrepreneurs sell their wares on the sandy shores and in the bustling shopping strip. But beware of making eye contact with the seller if you’re not buying anything, otherwise they’ll hover like flies. Fans of Ray Bans or Havaianas will be in shopper’s heaven (just don’t expect the real deal), and for a tailored suit you need only step outside the hotel to a seemingly endless selection. Bartering is key. My partner and I bought two pairs of Havaianas for $10 each (about $30 back home). And there’s plenty of accommodation. Centara Grand Beach Resort on Chaweng Beach is in the heart of the action. We lashed out and got a room there with a plunge pool. After a quick dip, I hightailed it to the resort’s day spa. I was lucky enough to wander in on a Sunday – rates are cheaper on weekends – and the hot-stone massage was amazing. The island is great for relaxation and food. Of course, there’s plenty of native fare, including spicy curries and stir-fries, but there are also Aussie restaurants serving burgers, flying the flag and playing John Farnham in the background. I was stoked to find Zico’s, a Brazilian restaurant with buffet and spit-roasted meats and seafood. The passionfruit caipirinha, Brazil’s national cocktail, made from cachaça (sugarcane-infused alcohol), hit the spot. And

Chaweng Beach at Koh Samui (Thinkstock): Right: Centara Grand, with its pool and swim-up bar (Supplied)

despite the heat outside, the samba dancers kicked the night up a gear with their brightly coloured outfits and enthusiasm. We found the best way to learn about Thai food was through a private cooking class. Prices vary, but Dara Samui Beach Resort is good value, with the hotel’s chef on hand to show us how to cook our three-course lunch. The only difficult part was choosing a menu. We tried to avoid curries, which proved advantageous as we wiped sweat from our brows, but it was infused into our meals anyway. And we left

SPORT Werribee lets another one slip By Liam Twomey Melton enjoyed an upset win against Werribee in the Bowls Victoria metropolitan pennant competition on Saturday. Despite sitting three places lower than the Bees on the ladder, it was a fired-up Melton outfit that claimed the points, winning 87-66. Werribee skipper Snowy Barker said it was a disappointing performance from his side. “I don’t think, as a group, we handled the match as good as they did,” he said. “No one really stood out for us. No one really stands out when you get beaten on all four rinks. “It was disappointing not to go there and beat them. “We are still second on the ladder, believe it or not, so that’s the positive of it.”

Werribee will turn its attention to a crunch game against third-placed Eltham this week. Although 22 points separate the two sides, a loss could put the Bees’ home final in jeopardy. The two sides last met in round seven, with Eltham winning by four shots at home. “It’s a game we should win and we expect to win it if we’re going to play finals,” Barker said. “We need to win the home games, there is no doubt about that. We need to win to keep our home final.” Since Christmas, Werribee has won one of its three matches and is five games behind top-of-the table Altona. Barker says his players need to find some consistency to turn around their form slump.

“I think everyone can improve overall,” he said. “We have been pretty ordinary since Christmas. To get beaten the other week at home was terrible. “We need to try and claw our way back to some sort of form and be more consistent.” It’s a different story for Melton, which is the hunter heading into the final three rounds of the season. After sitting inside the top four for most of the season’s first half, Melton is in fifth spot after 15 rounds, four points behind fourth-placed Essendon. Melton will look to keep its winning run going when it takes on seventh-placed Donvale this week. Rob Panton sends one down for Werribee against Melton on Saturday. (Wayne Hawkins)

Sport shorts Tough ask for Tigers

Werribee suffered its third loss of the Victorian Sub District Cricket Association season on Saturday. The Tigers failed in their run chase, losing to Ivanhoe by 82 runs at Chirnside Park. After being set 246 for victory by Ivanhoe on day one, Werribee’s chase looked to be on track as it moved to 2-84 with gun duo Shaun Dean and Tim O’Brien at the crease. But both were dismissed within a run of each other. From that point, the Werribee middle order crumbled and the Tigers were bowled out for 163 in the 69th over. Werribee is now six points ahead of seventh-placed Williamstown, with the Seagulls looming as the main challenger to the Tigers’ finals bid. Werribee has a tough two rounds coming up as it takes on the fourth-placed Altona and top-of-the-ladder Roxburgh Park Broadmeadows.

Werribee misses out on finals

Kangaroos rule with bat

Confidence continues to grow for the Greenvale Kangaroos after they knocked off last season’s premiers Footscray Edgewater in the latest round of Victorian Premier Cricket. Resuming at 2-75, Greenvale captain James Lidgett and Dale McDonald ensured a Kangaroos batting failure was nowhere on the horizon. The pair took the score to 2-180 before Lidgett fell for 63, just nine runs short of victory. McDonald and wicketkeeper Ben Cox passed Footscray’s score and continued to bat on, with McDonald falling 10 runs short of a century, run out for 90. The Kangaroos finished the day 8-327.

Werribee came up just short of qualifying for the under-15 state softball championship grand final on Saturday. The club made a hot start to the day, defeating Sunshine and Frankston in its first two matches to qualify for the division 1 finals. But losses against Casey and Waverley halted progress. The final was eventually won by Albury Wodonga.

Cats trounce St Christophers to move into top four Hoppers Crossing remains in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association senior division top four after a strong performance against Airport West St Christophers on Saturday. The Cats controlled the match with both bat and the ball when it mattered the most to secure the 43-run win. Batting first on day one, Hoppers Crossing smashed 9-271 from its 80 overs, thanks to a pair of 60s from Luke Goegan and Duleeka Thisakuttige. The total looked strong on paper, but Airport

West St Christophers made a bright start to the run chase when play resumed on Saturday. It moved to 2-105 and looked to be in control until Mitchell Ellis got the important breakthrough, removing set batsman Dinesh Cooray for 33. Wickets continued to tumble at regular intervals as the Airport West St Christophers middle order struggled to string partnerships together. Hoppers Crossing removed the next five batsmen for 85 runs before knocking over the

tail and securing the win. Trent Said was the pick of the Cats’ bowlers, taking 3-35, while Gregory Kennedy finished with 3-56. After eight rounds, Hoppers Crossing is in fourth spot on the VTCA senior division ladder. The Cats are part of a top five logjam, with just 11 points separating it and South Caulfield, Yarraville Club, Beaumaris and Strathmore from first to fifth. In the penultimate round before finals,

Hoppers Crossing will take on the seventh placed Hampton this week. Meanwhile, in the VTCA’s west A1 division, Werribee Centrals proved no match for St Andrews Footscray. After giving up 232 runs on day one, the Centrals were bowled out for 125 on Saturday. Werribee has won just one game this season and is on the bottom of the west A1 ladder.

Falcons’ depth to be tested By Liam Twomey City West Falcons are preparing for a season of uncertainty in the Victorian Netball League. Having dominated the competition for three years, the Falcons will have a new look for 2015. Due to a rule change in the VNL competition, sides are allowed only two players on their squads who are also contracted to play in the ANZ championships. City West is responsible for six current ANZ championship players, with Chloe Watson, Emily Mannix, Kate Moloney, Tegan Caldwell, Alice Teague-Neeld and Liz Watson all coming from the western suburbs-based club. The rule change means defenders Watson and Mannix will be available for the Falcons. Another player not returning to the Falcons this season is Casey Price, who has moved to rival club Melbourne University. City West coach Marg Lind said the off-season changes had led to a busy pre-season. “It’s hard to say how we are going because a lot of the players are doing fine in pre-season, but it’s completely different once you get into real matches,” she said. “We had to have a year like this year where we basically have a whole new group … obviously you might step backwards to step forwards.” The Falcons have moved quickly to secure new players. Demi Woodlock is returning to the club after a season out of the game. City West has also brought in former Monash University shooter Stephanie Tyrell and Altona Netball Association player Bridget O’Halloran. Lind said it was great to see some of the young talent from the west graduating to the Falcons’ squad. “We’re finally achieving the link between

the real young juniors coming through the western suburbs and having them transitioning through the club. “That’s what we aimed to achieve originally and what we are starting to achieve now.” City West will begin its 2015 campaign against Melbourne University Lightning this week at the State Netball and Hockey Centre. Despite all the changes to her squad, Lind is confident her new-look team has what it takes to match it with all the competition’s sides. “There’s no question that, barring injury, they will be competitive,” she said. “It obviously depends on when we get our Vixens players back, too. “If we don’t have them regularly, that will test our depth. “I think we will be competitive. I wouldn’t like to predict that they will do ‘X’, but they wi0ll certainly be competitive, there’s no question about that. “It will just come down to their control and how they jell as a team.” City West Falcons finished second in the VNL last year, with the grand final being the team’s single loss for the season. “With the big turnover … there’s a small percentage of players who feel what happened last year, but then there are also all these fresh players so there are mixed emotions,” Lind said.

Chloe Watson is returning to City West Falcons this season. (Kristian Scott)

Dejan Vasiljevic won the Don Deeble Rising Star award last week. (Wayne Hawkins)

In league with the world’s best After a world-beating year on the basketball court, Dejan Vasiljevic has added another trophy to his fast-growing collection. Vasiljevic was named overall winner of the Don Deeble Rising Star award for 2014 at the competition’s grand final last week. The 17-year-old basketball sensation impressed award organisers with his performances through the past 12 months, which included being named Australia’s most valuable player in an under-17 tour of China, being named in the all-star five of the under-17 FIBA world championships, and scoring 29 points against the US in the competition’s final. “Everything that has happened over the past 12 months has been amazing,” Vasiljevic said. “I’ve had great support from my family and

all the coaches back home, and the hard work has really paid off. “Having the opportunity to play against the best players from around the world has been amazing. This is a great community and I’m so glad to be part of it,” he said. The western suburbs’ basketball fraternity aren’t the only ones singing the praises of Vasiljevic. The Tarneit local, who now trains full-time at Canberra’s Australia Institute of Sport, has been the talk of the US college basketball world since his outstanding performance at the FIBA world championships. Vasiljevic has received countless offers from colleges wanting to sign him to the 2016 rosters. While he has plenty of time to make a decision on his post-school basketball life, Vasiljevic will get a first-hand look at what it takes to make it at the top level this month.

He has been invited to an exclusive training camp for some of the world’s best young players. The week-long trip will take place in New York and coincide with the NBA All Star weekend. “I’ll be involved in a three-day camp and then I’ll be watching Dante (Exum) in the rising stars challenge, and then helping out in the NBA All Star game. “LeBron James and Kobe Bryant and all those types of players will be there, so it should be a great experience. “I fly back to play national championships in Dandenong after that. I might be a bit jetlagged, but you have got to do that sort of thing if you want to be a professional.” The Don Deeble Rising Star award is run by the Sunshine Western Region Sports Club in conjunction with Star Weekly.

WRFL selectors spread the net wide

Werribee Districts Matthew Dean has been named in the preliminary WRFL squad. (Damjan Janevski)

Three Barry Priest medallists are included in the initial Western Region Football League squad for the AFL Vic Metro championships. Werribee Districts’ Matthew Dean, St Albans’ Tim Jenkins and Sunshine’s Russell Douglas are among 58 players named for the March clash with the Eastern Football League. With an average age of 24, the line-up is three years younger than last year’s squad, but it isn’t without experience with eight of 2014’s division 1 team captains being named. Two former AFL players, Hoppers Crossing’s Wayde Skipper and Altona’s Jayden Post, also add experience to the squad. Players from each of the division 1 sides have been selected, with Glenorden’s Josh MacDonald the only player selected from division two. Not surprisingly, reigning premier Deer Park has the most players in the squad, its nine including captain Chris Stewart. Runner-up Spotswood has eight players in the squad,

including VFL premiership player Michael Fogarty. Both Wyndham teams, Hoppers Crossing and Werribee Districts, are well represented with seven and six players respectively. Seven St Albans players have been named, with six from Altona and five from Sunshine. Albion and Port Melbourne Colts have four each and Chris Muratore is the sole representative from newly promoted Parkside. Coach Brett Jacobs and his coaching panel are still to choose a captain. Last year’s skipper, Jason Cloke, has moved to Essendon District Football League side Craigieburn. WRFL football operations manager Dave Newton says the initial squad has the versatility and skills to match it with the best. Senior inter-league training is set to start in mid-February ahead of the March 28 clash at VISY Park. Tara Murray

The award recognises young athletes in the western suburbs who have achieved exceptional results at state and national level. Each month, one nominee receives $1000 donated by the Yarraville Club Cricket Club . Nominees also receive other prizes to assist in their future sporting goals. Following the 10 monthly nominations, the grand final for the award is held in January. All nominees from the past year are eligible to win the first prize of $5000, while two runners-up each get $2500. This year’s runners-up were netballer Libby Birch and cricketer James Muirhead. Birch is a member of the Australian 17 and under national squad and captained Victoria to a gold medal at the national championships. Muirhead made his international T20 debut for Australia last year and played domestic cricket for Victoria.

MOTOR The Qashqai is plain wonderful By David Bonnici

NISSAN QASHQAI ST

Quite often the cars I get to test are the top-of-the-range versions and it’s easy to be dazzled by the nice seats and extras and ignore important things, such as how the car drives. Not that I’m complaining – it’s fantastic driving around brand new cars with all the bells and whistles. But it’s also nice when you get a base model and love it for the car it is. A case in point is the new Nissan Qashqai, part of Nissan’s comprehensive SUV range that includes the Pathfinder and X-Trail. The 2WD Qashqai doesn’t pretend to have the off-road credentials of the other two. It doesn’t even come in an AWD version. Truth be told, it’s an overgrown hatchback, which is one of the most competitive segments of the Australian car market. There’s myriad cars such as this on the market. They’re all reasonably fuel-efficient, versatile, practical and aesthetically pleasing. So what separates the UK-built Qashqai (pronounced Cash-kye) from the rest of the compact-SUV crowd that I have driven? For me it was the fact that it was really nice to drive It just felt right, from the seat height and forward vision to the responsiveness of the 2.0L petrol engine and feel of the gear stick. I looked for any reason to go for a drive in it, which is what you really want from a car – all this in a little manual without sunroof, satellite navigation or powered leather seats. That’s not to say the base model ST is a spartan copy of the Land Rover Mk1. It comes with smartphone integration, reverse camera,

Techy stuff:

Fuel efficiency:

daytime running lights, leather-wrapped steering wheel and electronic park brakes. The 2.0-litre petrol engine with manual is reasonably fuel efficient – giving about 7.7 litres/per 100 kilometres combined, which isn’t too different from smaller cars with engines of the same size. The interior, including the dashboard, is very

similar to slightly bigger X-Trail. The rear seat splits 60-40, creating a large cargo area. With the seats up, the 430-litre boot space is bigger than most of its competitors. For an extra $7000, the TI version comes with a host of extras including panoramic glass roof, lane-departure warning, satellite navigation and the excellent Around-View
