Retail central in Wyndham Old Geelong Road was once a long, driver-unfriendly stretch of concrete-edged bitumen, the main highway between Melbourne and Geelong. It’s now home to the biggest and busiest strip shopping centre in the Wyndham area and has become a retail jewel that will serve residents well into the future. Thirty years ago, when decent vehicles were rarely seen on the road, there was little more than two houses and a pig farm in the vicinity. As more and more houses were built in the area, the need for a retail centre became obvious. The nearest shopping mall was Highpoint in Maribyrnong, so residents were delighted when

pioneer developers gradually eliminated the need to travel to find big-ticket items. Few predicted the area would some day become “a golden mile’’, as it’s affectionately known today. The Golden Mile developed in step with Werribee Plaza, meaning shoppers soon had a plethora of choices at their doorstep. The three-kilometre stretch is the biggest and busiest shopping centre in Wyndham, the home of retail giants, warehouses and small-to-medium operators. The road had long been a traffic route east of Werribee to the RAAF base, Laverton North and the city, but the construction of

the Forsyth Road overpass in the early ’80s opened up Hoppers Crossing, providing the key missing link between Old Geelong Road and the Princes Freeway. Another key factor that led to the area’s growth was the Wyndham City Council’s decision to buy eight hectares of land on Old Geelong Road and build a depot in the ’80s. Other “big guns’’ to help the area blossom were original developers Costa Bros, which opened the business now known as Mitre 10, and businessman Sam Fragapane, who developed Monte Villa Motor Inn. The precinct now includes outlets such as Harvey Norman, Bunnings, The Good Guys, Retravision, Captain Snooze and Ray’s Tent City.

Avalon meets the Fokkers

(Mark Smith)

Andrew Carter loves old aeroplanes. For him, the older the better, which is interesting given his day job is flying Boeing 737 airliners. That love of vintage aviation led to him founding the Australian Vintage Aviation Society, which is this week making its debut at the 2015 Australian International Airshow at Avalon. Mr Carter’s organisation has brought three classic WWI planes to the airshow – the most eye-catching being his bright red Fokker Triplane (pictured), the type linked to the Red Baron. The other two are museum-quality re-creations of other German designs, the Eindekker EIII and the Fokker DVII. These aircraft will join classic WWI re-creations from New Zealand to showcase military aviation from the Great War. As part of the airshow’s 100 years of military aviation theme, aircraft will fly in simulated dogfights much as the originals did over France 100 years ago. Mr Carter said: “We see our involvement at Avalon as a unique way to show the public just what aircraft of the time were really like – what the designers, builders and pilots of the time had and just how difficult their job was.” The Australian International Airshow is open to the public on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Data tracks west stress By Cameron Tait Residents feel safer in Point Cook at night than Hoppers Crossing, results of a new survey reveal. The results were detailed in Wyndham council’s 2014 Community Survey, which found perceptions of safety in public areas fluctuated from suburb to suburb. Compared to the Melbourne metropolitan average, safety levels in Point Cook, Truganina, Tarneit and Wyndham Vale were rated higher, but lower in Werribee and Hoppers Crossing. More than 48 per cent of the 800 survey

respondents – more than double the metropolitan Melbourne average – ranked traffic management, including roads, congestion and commuting times, as the most pressing issue for the council to address. Metropolis Research managing director Dale Hubner said the company had never recorded as much dissatisfaction with traffic management during surveys at other councils. Other major frustrations for residents include road maintenance and repairs (16.6 per cent), public transport (13.8 per cent), parking (12.5 per cent), parks, gardens and open space (10.3 per cent), and safety, policing and crime (7.2 per cent).

Among the leading barriers to using public transport recorded were a lack of parking at train stations, the length of travel times, overcrowded trains and infrequent buses. More than two-thirds of those surveyed reported some housing-related financial stress, while a third of those surveyed volunteered with a community organisation or club. Overall satisfaction with Wyndham council was up on 2013, and was slightly higher than the western region average, with high ratings for garbage and green waste collections, immunisation services and the city’s libraries. Residents were least satisfied with footpath maintenance and repairs, road maintenance

and repairs, parking enforcement and public toilets. More than 34 per cent of people were “very satisfied” with the council’s performance, with 12.4 per cent “dissatisfied”. Mayor Peter Maynard said the results were pleasing but there was room for improvement. “It’s no surprise residents are concerned about traffic and transport issues,” he said. “Seventy per cent of our residents travel outside Wyndham for work, totalling an average of 20 days a year in their cars. We will continue to advocate to all levels of government for better roads and public transport, including more frequent trains and buses.”

Traffic report drives councillors to road rage Wyndham councillors have reacted with anger and frustration to the council’s 2014 traffic report, which found 21 of the city’s main roads were at or over-capacity. Harrison ward’s Bob Fairclough said the findings, presented to councillors at last Monday’s meeting, were more than just “a set of numbers”. “This is an issue which is impacting on the quality of life and well-being of our residents

every day,” he said. “It’s unacceptable … as a community we’ve had enough.” Iramoo ward councillor Heather Marcus echoed Cr Fairclough’s sentiments. “We’re tired of dealing with congestion on our roads,” she said. “I’ve heard from people who have taken half an hour to travel from Werribee to Hoppers Crossing. It’s time we stood up and fought harder because we have to get governments to listen.

‘‘

It’s unacceptable … as a community, we’ve had - Bob Fairclough enough

’’

“Companies don’t want to set up here because of the situation with our traffic. Perhaps we need to start voting one street Labor and one street Liberal, so this area becomes marginal.”

The council has committed $2 million over two years to its Get Wyndham Moving campaign, which aims to secure funding commitments from state and federal governments to address traffic congestion, with duplications of Dohertys, Palmers, Derrimut and Sayers roads and the Leakes and Palmers roads intersection among its top priorities. Cameron Tait

‘Clogged arteries’ alert Congestion on Wyndham’s already gridlocked arterial road network continues to worsen, with 21 roads across the city running above capacity, according to a new council survey. The Review of 2014 Traffic Volumes in Wyndham report reveals 17 of the roads are the responsibility of VicRoads, including Forsyth Road in Hoppers Crossing, which is now carrying 37,390 vehicles a day – about double the defined capacity for two-lane roads of 18,000 to 20,000 vehicles a day. Other over-capacity two-lane roads include Derrimut Road (north of Sayers Road), Point Cook Road (between Sneydes and Dunnings roads), and Heaths Road (between Greaves

The 2014 data showed Palmers, Sayers and Leakes roads were at or over capacity while, since 2012, traffic volumes had increased by 29 per cent in Tarneit, 12 per cent in Truganina and eight per cent in Werribee and Hoppers Crossing. As a result, the council will write to VicRoads highlighting that in the past three years it has not duplicated any roads in Wyndham identified to be at capacity. It will request an ongoing program for duplication of the city’s arterial roads and urge that priority be given to duplicate sections of Dohertys Road (Fitzgerald Road to Grieve Parade), Leakes Road (Palmers to Fitzgerald Road) and Derrimut Road (Sayers to Leakes Roads) due to their “strategic and public safety importance”.

Wyndham councillors supported taking “urgent action” to secure funding for the duplication of a swag of VicRoads arterials including Derrimut Road (between Sayers to Leakes roads), Forsyth Road (south of Old Geelong Road), Sayers Road (Palmers to Derrimut roads), Heaths Road (between Tarneit and Shaws roads) and Palmers Road (south of Princes Freeway to Dunnings Road).

With funding due to run out within months, Wyndham council has joined housing and welfare groups in pleading to the federal government to immediately recommit to the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness. National body Homelessness Australia has led the calls, saying organisations have been hamstrung as they wait for a decision, with this financial year’s $115 million commitment due to expire on June 30. At last Monday night’s council meeting, Cr John Gibbons received unanimous support as he urged the government to continue the agreement with the states and give certainty to those providing housing and support services to the most vulnerable. In Wyndham, the wait for public housing can stretch up to five years. Councillors voted to write to Social Services Minister Scott Morrison to voice their concerns. Wyndham’s chronic lack of crisis accommodation means people facing homelessness or emergency situations such as family violence are forced to find shelter outside the city. Cr Gibbons said this was the third year in which the funding provided as part of the National Partnership Agreement on Homelessness had been in jeopardy. “Census figures show the number of people experiencing homelessness in Wyndham almost quadrupled between 2001 and 2011, and the growth in [housing] overcrowding rates increased by more than 400 per cent over the same period,” he said. “Wyndham also has the highest rates of rental evictions of any local government area in Victoria. Despite these figures, there are currently no local options to access immediate housing assistance in Wyndham.”

Bandicoot guard duty When Isaac Busuttil turned six in December last year, he had one special wish. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the latest toy or video game; the only present he wanted was to help save the Eastern barred bandicoot, a native Australian animal considered to be extinct in the wild. Isaac, of Derrimut, asked his family, friends and classmates to donate to the Guardian Dog Christmas Appeal and together they raised almost $500 for the project, in which a team of six dogs will be trained to protect bandicoots. Last Saturday, Isaac was given the opportunity to meet the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambassador, four-month-old Maremma sheep dog Albus, during the launch of the guardian dog trial program at Werribee Open Range Zoo. As part of this trial, the dogs will act as â&#x20AC;&#x153;bandicoot bodyguardsâ&#x20AC;?, shielding them from attacks by feral cats and foxes. Once thought to be lost forever in Victoria,

less than 50 Eastern barred bandicoots were discovered living amidst wrecked cars at a Hamilton tip in the late 1980s. Since then, Melbourne Zoo has bred another 650, with many released into fenced areas, including at the Mount Rothwell Conservation and Research Centre, near Little River. The state government will contribute $100,000 to the trial. Environment Minister Lisa Neville said the first guardian dog trial would take place at Tiverton Station in western Victoria. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this guardian dog trial we have the rare opportunity to begin to bring an animal back from extinction,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This trial could herald a new approach to conservation for many of our threatened species.â&#x20AC;?

Stack â&#x20AC;&#x2122;em high: carpark solution By Cameron Tait A multi-storey carpark must be built at Williams Landing railway station to help ease commuter congestion, according to Star Weekly readers. Their demands come in response to our February 18 story about Point Cook businesses abandoning Wallace Avenue because of increasing traffic chaos, which is due to a shortage of parking spots at Williams Landing station, where there are just 500 spaces. One reader wrote: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why would anybody in

their right mind have planned a carpark for only 500 cars? I would have built a multi-level carpark for at least 1500 cars from the very beginning.â&#x20AC;? As revealed in our story, desperate all-day commuters have resorted to parking on both sides of Wallace Avenue, which is separated from the station by the Princes Freeway. The commuters are parking in spaces reserved for businesses and on vacant land adjoining the Palmers Road overpass, at the base of the footbridge. Direct Vet Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Karen Davies said that with carparks outside businesses on Wallace

Avenue regularly being occupied by all-day commuters, she knew of one business that had opted to relocate, while others had considered installing boom gates or parking attendants. In response to its carpark being used by rail commuters, Masters Home Improvement at Williams Landing has employed a parking attendant to â&#x20AC;&#x153;monitorâ&#x20AC;? its usage. A spokeswoman for the store said the carpark was private property and reserved solely for its customers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately, this has not been the case in the past few weeks,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand that this is an issue for our

customers and we are currently working with [Wyndham] council to find a solution.â&#x20AC;? Nathan Blackburne, state manager of Williams Landing developer Cedar Woods Victoria, said the company would continue to speak with the council about parking signage within the estate. Last week, Public Transport Victoria spokeswoman Andrea Duckworth said Williams Landing station had one of the largest carparks in the metropolitan rail network, with parking for about 500 cars. â&#x2013; Letters,

‘Chaos’ fears drive link delay By Cameron Tait Victoria’s largest public transport project since the City Loop, the Regional Rail Link, has been hit by a two-month delay and will not open until late June. Trains were scheduled to begin operating along the 45-kilometre link between Southern Cross Station and West Werribee in April but will not do so until June 21 after the government made a surprise decision last week to delay the link’s opening. According to the state government, a shortage of available V/Line trains forced it to

defer the opening of the $4.3 billion project, the first major expansion of the state’s rail network in more than 30 years. It will include new stations at Tarneit and Wyndham Vale. The eight-week delay will hold back until June wholesale changes planned to Melbourne’s train, tram and bus timetables. Labor has blamed the delay on the former Napthine government, accusing it of planning to open the link without enough trains to run a full timetable. Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said in a statement that: “If RRL was introduced in April, as the former Coalition government had

planned, any delay in rolling stock delivery or train faults would mean service cancellations and chaos for commuters. “The bungled order for rolling stock shows that the Liberals and Nationals don’t have a head for public transport or a heart for regional services.” But Opposition public transport spokesman David Hodgett said the government should stop “making excuses” for its problems. “All we hear from Daniel Andrews is either excuses like Regional Rail Link or lies like over the East West Link compensation,” he said. “So my advice to Daniel Andrews is to stop

making excuses, start being honest and get to work for Victorians.” The Regional Rail Link will help relieve rail congestion in the west by giving V/Line trains from Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo dedicated paths in and out of the city. The separation of Metro and V/Line trains will create capacity for extra metropolitan services, particularly along the chronically overcrowded Werribee line. A fleet of 43 new VLocity train carriages, ordered by the Napthine government, is being manufactured by Bombardier in Dandenong. The first of the three-car trains entered service in October.

Crossing swap urged The Werribee Street level crossing, destined to be used by only a few trains a day from June, will remain on the state government’s hit-list of 50 to be removed, putting it ahead of significantly busier crossings in the area, including Old Geelong Road in Hoppers Crossing. The Cherry and Werribee streets level crossings are among the 50 the state government has promised to remove in eight years, but Werribee Street will become one of Melbourne’s quietest for train traffic with the expected mid-year opening of the Regional Rail Link. Currently used mostly by V/Line trains running between Geelong and Melbourne, the crossing will soon carry just a handful of freight trains each day as well as the four-times-weekly Melbourne-Adelaide train. The impending sharp drop-off in train traffic has prompted a call from the Public Transport

Users Association for Labor to cut the crossing from its list. Spokesman Daniel Bowen said it was clear the government should swap the Werribee Street removal for another, busier crossing. “Removing a crossing that after April will have very few trains running through it is obviously not a priority,” he said. Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said Werribee Street would stay on Labor’s list. “Even once Geelong line services move on to the new alignment, freight and interstate services will continue to thunder through the crossing, keeping boom gates down, creating traffic chaos and continuing to pose a risk to the community,” she said. “This problem will not go away until the level crossing is removed once and for all.” Cameron Tait

ust when I thought roads were the number one issue for Wyndham residents, last week’s column about parking has opened up a Pandora’s box of complaints, thoughts, opinions and suggestions from readers. Thank you for your input. Our train stations certainly evoke the most passionate and angry responses. I’m told the Masters store at Williams Landing has engaged a security officer to stop rail commuters using its carpark. I couldn’t confirm this with Masters management before deadline but if they have, I don’t blame them. They’re running a hardware business not a carpark and customers deserve to be able to find a carpark to do their business. One idea floated to me was to make the Werribee railway station a bus-only terminal, feeding commuters to and from a multi-level carpark a few kilometres away. Great idea, but I’m not sure where that multi-level car park would be. The bottom end of Watton Street, near the swimming pool, seems to me to be an under-utilised space, as I have said before. If we had a multi-level carpark

there and behind Ballan House and maybe even in Barnes Place, surely that would fix the problems for the CBD and the station. One reader suggested Werribee Racing Club has land that could be of benefit, and I can see the validity of that, especially if a shuttle bus service was established. What do you do with Hoppers Crossing and Laverton? I hear some residents around the Laverton station are making a tidy sum charging people to park their cars in their yards each day. Good luck to them, but that’s not the solution. The most obvious thing to me is that there’s a crisis which is having a negative effect on living in our city. This is where we need our leaders and representatives to take up the challenge. Don’t sit back. Get off your bums, cut through the red tape and give the residents something to remember you by. As it stands, you’ll be remembered only as the mob that did nothing to fix traffic and parking problems. ■

Jones shares wit, wisdom

Thinker, writer, teacher, broadcaster, quiz-game champion and former federal Lalor MP Barry Jones will bring his wit and wisdom to Footscray next month as part of Victoria University’s ‘Game Changer’ conversation series. Mr Jones, who was MP for Lalor from 1977-98, will discuss how the public debate on issues such as climate change, science, taxation, refugees, and vaccinations has been dumbed down in recent years. The free lecture will be at VU at Metrowest, 138 Nicholson Street, Footscray, on March 2 from 6pm.

Water released

The Werribee River received environmental water from Melton Reservoir this month with the aim of increasing the flow rate at the Werribee weir to 140 megalitres for one day. Melbourne Water said the release was to improve water quality, clear sediments and respond to a confirmed blue-green algae bloom.

College acts on berry scare By Cameron Tait Point Cook’s Carranballac P-9 College has moved to allay parent fears after discovering its canteen had used frozen berries linked to a hepatitis A outbreak. Some students had consumed the berries used in yogurts and jellies, but acting school director Lesley Hall said none had shown any symptoms of the illness. One-kilogram packs of Nanna’s frozen mixed berries and raspberries, along with

300- and 500-gram packs of Creative Gourmet mixed berries, have been withdrawn from supermarket shelves and made the subject of a nationwide recall. To date, only the Nanna’s products have been found to be connected with the hepatitis A outbreak. Ms Hall said that as soon as canteen staff realised frozen berries had been used in the yoghurts and jellies, the products were removed from sale. It is believed less than a handful of the yogurts and jellies had been sold to pupils.

“Last Monday [February 16] we sent a letter home notifying parents,” Ms Hall said. “Since then, we haven’t received any phone calls from concerned parents. “When we checked the dates on the packaging, we realised the batch of frozen berries used in our canteen were not those connected with the recall. But we’ve been proactive in taking the appropriate steps to ensure the safety of our children.” It was reported last week that 48 government schools across Victoria had advised the

Education Department that some of their students had consumed suspect frozen berries. The department has not been advised of any reported cases of students with hepatitis A. Symptoms of hepatitis A include abdominal pain, nausea, fever and chills, and yellow skin or eyes. Contact your GP if you believed you may have been affected. There have been 24 cases of hepatitis A across Australia, including three in Victoria, linked to the imported berries.

Roo boys do the rounds

North Melbourne players, including Robbie Tarrant, Lachie Hansen and Max Warren, caught up with Werribee Mercy Hospital patient Albert as part of their visit to Wyndham for an AFL Community Camp last week. Over two days, the Kangaroos spent time at 10 schools, an aged-care centre and Werribee Men’s Shed and held a footy superclinic attended by more than 350 children at Chirnside Park. Some players, including Brent Harvey, Scott Thompson and Michael Firrito, came up close and personal with animals at Werribee Open Range Zoo, while others went tenpin bowling at Wyncity Superbowl in Point Cook. It’s the first time an AFL community camp has been held in Wyndham, and it’s the only one in Melbourne so far this year. The Kangaroos have been affiliated with VFL club Werribee since 2008.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR that shares its only access road with an already congested freeway. This is the result of rapid growth, an inherent ‘car culture’ and poor public transport (yes, the services are there but extremely unreliable because of the traffic problem). I cycle in to work as often as I can, despite the long distance; it’s faster and cheaper and my boss is much happier to have me at work on time. Bagel, via web

Williams Landing parking

[Re: Point Cook traders feel parking pain, Star Weekly Weekly, February 18] Wallace Avenue is horrible to drive down now with all the cars parked along it. It’s not wide enough for two cars going each way to fit and it can be quite dangerous. My kids did dancing in a studio off Wallace Avenue and I ended up pulling them out and going elsewhere because I couldn’t stand it any more! Jackie, via web I use the bus when I can’t cycle. The bus from Point Cook South can take an hour to get to Williams Landing (or not turn up at all) because of congestion on Palmers Road. It seems like a massive oversight in urban planning to build a new train station

Sealing the vacant land near the underpass would provide some relief. PTV is out of touch if it believes cycling and buses are the answer. They are both pretty much out of the picture as soon as the weather turns bad. And many people have no choice but to take their cars to the station after dropping off school children or because they live too far from the very restricted bus routes. What we don’t want is the state government or the council to simply slap more parking restrictions around the area, which will generate revenue but solve nothing. Let’s not forget, though, that a lot of the congestion should be eased when the Regional Rail Link is completed. Rob, via web Although I would love to take the bus to the station (to avoid the carpark nightmare), it is not feasible for me as I have to drop off my kids to daycare and school. I’d wager a guess that most people who travel to the station via car have similar circumstances. This area is predominantly made up of families, many of which have both parents working. So it’s not realistic to expect that they have the option to ride the bus. I am not going to drag my two kids on two different buses to get them to daycare and

primary school, respectively - it would add a minimum of 45 minutes to my morning commute, same in the afternoon. The people responsible for planning of adequate carparks need to consider this dynamic. Martha, via web I think the current carpark should be redesigned as a multi-level park. Seeing that most of the vacant land will soon be filled with shops, I think this is the only option. Council needs to look into a real solution sooner rather than later; the carpark is full by 7.15am. Seems ridiculous that I can’t get a car park at my closest station when I usually get there at 7.30am. Nicole, via web If we could get a dedicated bus lane along Palmers Road so the buses don’t get stuck in the morning traffic, then I believe more commuters would take the bus to the station, which would then reduce the need for parking spaces – a little bit. Jen, via web A colleague lives 3.2 kilometres from Williams Landing station. He walks to and from the train. Not everyone’s capable of doing that, but he’s surprised that very few do so.

A Newport man has issued a warning about a man posing as an emergency services representative charging residents to unnecessarily paint their house number on the curb. Ned Dawson said a man visited his home last week taking orders for painted numbers to assist emergency operators such as police and ambulance. The man purported to be from a business called Emergency Service Numbers, about which Mr Dawson was unable to find any trace. “I looked up, I tried to find Emergency Service Numbers, and you get directed to real emergency services but nothing like this,” Mr Dawson said. “It’s a very slick act. I think it’s a scam. You’re fooled by the vest, the official-looking receipt book. “Someone who was elderly, a bit vague – more than me – might fall for this one. “Elderly people are quite anxious about a few things, one of them being ambulances turning up on time.” Ambulance Victoria only asks that people’s house numbers, for example on their letterboxes, be clear. Consumer Affairs has warned there have also been reports of conmen targeting migrant communities in the western suburbs. It urges people to warn family and friends to be alert to anyone offering cheap roofing and tiling work. Goya Dmytryshchak

Crash victim improves

Mayoral Column

By Goya Dmytryshchak A woman who was critically injured after being struck by a utility that mounted a seawall and flipped onto its roof at Altona beach on Thursday night is now in a stable condition. The woman, in her 50s, was walking along the Esplanade, near Millers Road, with a man and their adult daughter, when the couple was hit by the ute just before 9pm. The man is in a stable condition in The Alfred hospital. His daughter was treated for grazes. Police said a white Hyundai SUV with two occupants and a white Mitsubishi dual-cab utility tray with four occupants travelling in the same direction on the Esplanade collided just before the pedestrians were hit. Both drivers had reportedly travelled from Point Cook. Vehicles fitting their description were reported by several drivers between Old Geelong Road and Altona Meadows. As a result of the collision, the utility ran off the road, struck the couple, careered over the wall and landed on its roof. Passers-by and local residents rushed to help the injured people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard a big bang and then saw a white 4WD speed up Millers Road,â&#x20AC;? one resident said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, they collided just around the corner near Flemoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s [Flemingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] Pool and then the ute went over and wiped out the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The white 4WD almost crashed into the park here and then backed off and sped up Millers Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a couple of locals helping. We thought it was people from the car but found out it was a mother and father and their kid wiped out as the car went over the wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imagine if it had been a bit warmer . . . there would have been more people around.

charged with driving offences and was due to appear in court today (Wednesday). Detectives are appealing for anyone who may have seen the two vehicles before the collision, in either Altona or Altona Meadows, to come forward.

Parks Victoria’s Julie Linguey and Melbourne Water’s Ananda McKinley at the fish ladder on the Werribee River. (Shawn Smits)

Ladder a fish’s leg-up Fish in the Werribee River are scaling new heights with their own specially designed “ladder”. Also known as a fishway, the ladder has been established alongside Bluestone Ford at Werribee Park and includes a series of rock steps and pools that create a pathway for the fish to swim upstream. The $130,000 Melbourne Water project has been designed to improve the health of the river and was developed following research that showed a fishway would assist fish and their breeding cycles and allow species requiring both fresh and salt water to travel more freely up and down the river. Bluestone Ford was built in the 1800s and was the only Werribee River crossing at the time. It

was part of the original Melbourne-Geelong Road and used by the Chirnside family to transport wool to the Port of Geelong. Melbourne Water spokesman Cameron Howie said the river was home to 30 fish species and the ladder was critical to removing barriers to migration. With construction finished, Melbourne Water and Parks Victoria will rehabilitate the river bank and replant vegetation in the areas affected by the works. Werribee Park senior ranger Julie Linguey said the ladder would have long-term benefits. “It’s great to see some small fish already benefiting from the fish ladder,” she said. Cameron Tait

Pirate ship park plans floated

SORED BY

PROUDLY SPON

By Cameron Tait Planning is under way to redevelop the Bayview Park, Point Cook, pirate ship playground that was destroyed by fire in September last year. Wyndham mayor Peter Maynard said designs for the park redevelopment were presented to a community meeting earlier this month and would be available for residents to view until March. “The redevelopment of Bayview Park will bring life back to a much-loved public space,” he said. “It was such a shame to see the park destroyed last year, but we will rebuild it into an even better place for Point Cook families to have fun and enjoy the outdoors.” Developer Villawood Properties opened the playground at the $1.5 million Bayview Park in 2008. The playground attracted controversy the following year when several children sustained injuries on its 20-metre high slide. Following last year’s fire, Villawood Properties executive director Rory Costelloe said that despite early problems the park had become “one of the most famous playgrounds’’ in Melbourne. Residents living around Bayview Park were asked for their views on the redevelopment, with a community survey undertaken in December last year. Schools and kindergartens in the area have submitted drawings and ideas for the park and what they would like to see there in future.

“This gave us a great starting point, but we still need to make sure we’ve got it right in the community’s eyes. So we’re putting it out once again for review,” Cr Maynard said. “We want all residents to have their say on this redevelopment project to ensure we are providing the best open spaces possible for the Wyndham community.” A steering committee has been appointed, with its three members to act as a voice for residents ahead of the park’s redevelopment, which is expected to begin in July.

Net loss is anglers’ gain By Goya Dmytryshchak

number of recreational fishers to one million by 2020. We want to reassure the industry that this will be undertaken in close consultation with the industry and relevant stakeholders.” Williamstown’s Dallas D’Silva, of VRFish, said the peak body representing recreational fishers in Victoria supported the plan to halt netting and increase the availability of fish stocks for recreational anglers. “Conflict between commercial netting and recreational line fishing has been a longstanding issue in Port Phillip Bay,” he said. “We’re keen to see a timeline with key steps and actions for implementation over the next four years.”

Recreational fishers and marine conservationists have welcomed the state government’s plan to ban commercial netting in Port Phillip and Corio bays. State Agriculture Minister Jaala Pulford last week said $20 million would be allocated to phase out the practice over eight years. “This will increase recreational fishing numbers and economic activity, leading to more jobs in the sector and offer a clear and fair exit strategy for commercial licence holders,” she said. “By supporting clubs and phasing out commercial netting, we can increase the

‘‘

The bay can sustain both recreational and commercial - Rob Carabott fishing

’’

But Williamstown commercial fisher Rob Carabott said he believed the government was “making a big mistake” and the ban would take away the main income source of more than 40 licence holders. “But what it means for people of Victoria is more substantial because they rely on us to harvest the local product so they can have fresh fish,” Mr Carabott said. “The bay can sustain both recreational and

commercial fishing and I really think the government needs to have a serious look at what the commercial sector does in Port Phillip, how we fish and what the true value of our catch is.” Ivan Bereza, president of the Friends of Corio Bay Action Group, which has long campaigned for a commercial netting ban, said commercial fishers would still be able to net for pilchards and sardines. “The government will not be phasing out purse seining for bait; that’s for bait and pilchards,” he said. “It is only mesh netting and haul seining – the destructive methods used in the bay, which kill too many juvenile fish and wildlife.”

Pet theft pain lingers Police have made a renewed appeal for information about the theft of four pet birds and a rabbit from St Andrews Primary School in Werribee. It’s believed the two rainbow lorikeets, two eastern galahs and a rabbit were taken from the Greaves Street school on the night of December 23 last year, with the open cages discovered by a visiting staff member a few days later. Principal Michael Gavaghan said the theft had devastated pupils. “Our school has been renowned for having creatures great and small as pets,” he said. “We give our children the responsibility of looking after and caring for them. For many of our pupils and particularly those with

additional needs, having animals is a positive and they enjoy being around them. Not only does it teach them responsibility, but it also improves general well-being.” Mr Gavaghan said the school would be reviewing its security in light of the incident. Anyone with information about the theft or who saw suspicious activity around the school on the night of December 23 last year or has been offered rainbow lorikeets or eastern galahs for sale, is asked to phone Werribee police on 9742 9444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Men’s health in focus A successful program promoting men’s health in the western suburbs is back and barking again in 2015. The Western Bulldogs’ Sons of the West program, designed to tackle the poor health levels of men living and working in Melbourne’s west, took the area by storm in its first year in 2014 with more than 1000 participants. Beyond Blue chairman and former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett told last Wednesday’s launch at Whitten Oval about how important Sons of the West has been in bringing men together and having them tackle their issues as part of a group. “Sons of the West is a terribly important program, and not just for individuals,” he said. “It’s important for their communities, their workplaces and, most of all, their families.” Victorian Health Minister Jill Hennessy

discussed the health challenges in the west, praising the Bulldogs for their leadership. “Sons of the West is exactly the kind of program my own dad could use,” she said. A colourful new Sons of the West bus was unveiled at the launch. Men can register for Sons of the West by attending one of several upcoming expos. The Maribyrnong Expo will be held at Victoria University Whitten Oval, West Footscray, 10am–noon, on Saturday, March 14. The Hobsons Bay Expo will be held at the Laverton Community Hub, 95-105 Railway Avenue, Laverton, 2-4pm, on Saturday, March 14. The Wyndham Expo will be held at Wyndham Civic Centre, 45 Princes Highway, Werribee, 10am-noon, on Sunday, March 15. Benjamin Millar

Free household chemical collection at Keilor Park’s Detox your Home

Weather permitting, the program at all sites will run between Monday 23 February 2015 and Friday 20 March 2015. Council recommends that pet animals not be taken into these areas during this period. Baits of chopped carrot, treated with ‘PINDONE’ (an anticoagulant poison) will be laid by a licensed contractor in accordance with the Pindone manufacturer’s directions. The poison baits will be dyed green and distributed along trails where rabbits usually feed. Vitamin K1 is the antidote for Pindone in case of accidental poisoning and is available from local vets.

Detox your Home is a safe, FREE and easy-to-use service to dispose of common household chemicals without harming your health or the environment.

Any carrot pieces or rabbits found (alive or dead) in these areas should not be handled. Warning signs will be placed at entrances to the reserves/sites before the campaign commences.

Clubs cash in for eating healthy By Cameron Tait Wyndham City’s Healthy Together Wyndham initiative has something for local sports clubs to chew on, with $2000 grants on offer to make club canteens healthier. Five local clubs will receive the funding as part of the Sports Clubs Healthy Eating Wyndham pilot program (Sports CHEW). Wyndham mayor Peter Maynard said the project aimed to get more local sports clubs offering healthy food and drinks at their kiosks. “We want to see Wyndham’s sports clubs become really healthy places, so we’ll work with the pilot clubs to improve their menus while still keeping their customers happy,” he said. “The successful clubs will get support and resources to assess their current menu, the canteen operations, finances and customer research. We’ll also support them to make the menu changes, market those changes and review how the new, healthier menu is going. “Through Sports CHEW we’re aiming to make healthy choices easier for players, officials and supporters by getting healthy options sold at canteens.” Expressions of interest for the five, $2000 grants are now open and will close on Monday, March 16. Sports clubs are also being invited next month to attend a free ‘healthy club canteen workshop’ run by an accredited practising dietitian. “We’re very well aware that canteens provide an important source of income for local sports clubs so we want the new improved menus to be popular with local sports lovers, as well as good for them,” Cr Maynard said. He urged sports club to “find out more about the Sports CHEW project, get some advice

The truth about sports drinks It’s important to be well hydrated when playing sport • Sports drinks are helpful if you do intense exercise for an hour or more. • Drinking water is usually best if doing moderate exercise for less than an hour. • Sports drinks are designed to encourage more drinking so you keep hydrated. • Drink before, during and after you exercise, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

on giving your canteen menu a health check and how to make healthier foods with simple changes”. “I’d urge interested clubs to come along to the project workshop. Healthier food at the sports club canteen makes a lot of sense. Players who eat well perform better, giving their team a competitive edge.”

Maggie McInnes at the Heathdale Glen Orden Wetlands. (Michael Copp)

Small effort, big reward Roll up your sleeves, put on your gloves and do your bit for the community by taking part in Clean Up Australia Day this Sunday. This year marks the event’s 25th anniversary and organisers hope to top last year’s event which involved 572,000 volunteers collecting more than 15,708 tonnes of rubbish at 7140 sites. There are 29 registered clean-up sites around Wyndham this year, including a council-organised event at Heathdale Glen Orden Wetlands in Werribee. Friends of Heathdale Glen Orden Wetlands member Maggie McInnes has been a part of Clean Up Australia Day for 15 years. “Litter clogs our waterways, chokes our native animals and pollutes our home,” she said. “Cleaning up is a great way to help prevent our local habitats from being destroyed, but we also need to do more proactive things to

protect this important habitat. Our wetlands are only a small, fragile remnant of the swamp which once covered most of the south-western part of Victoria. Protecting and cleaning up our own area is a way of taking part in a worldwide effort. “When we started the Clean Up Australia Day events, we were collecting seven-and-ahalf trucks full of litter. Last year, we collected one truck full, which goes to show that we’re making a difference.” People are welcome to join the clean-up at Heathdale Glen Orden Wetlands, at Kookaburra Avenue, Werribee, from 10am to noon. Bring gloves, a hat, sturdy shoes and a bottle of water. To register or for information visit www.cleanupaustraliaday.org.au. Cameron Tait

WYNDHAM HARBOUR / A REAL LIFESTYLE CHOICE

here is pleasure in living around boats. They are elegant, graceful creatures and every smartly turned-out, neatly polished craft is an adventure waiting to happen. The soft clinking sound made by the rigging is relaxing; there is the soothing rhythm of masts swaying gently as ripples rock the hull and to wake up and see a harbour full of boats outside the window evokes not the working day, but long, lazy holidays. Wyndham Harbour marina is one of the great attractions of the harbour-side community now coming to life at Werribee South. It will be the only safe harbour on the western shores of Port Phillip Bay between Williamstown and Geelong. Infrastructure works are now complete on the southern breakwater of the $440 million marina. The central spine and main breakwater are scheduled for completion mid-year and, by next summer, the floating pontoons of the first stage will be installed, the foreshore will be completed and the first stage of the marina will be open for business. When all stages are complete, it will be Victoria’s largest marina, with up to 1000 wet berths, dry storage for 390 boats, a refuelling dock, service and maintenance yard and all the ancillary services one would expect from a marina this size, including an on-site manager, 24-hour security and video surveillance. A marina club with a bar, bistro, restaurant and function facilities will operate on the main spine. It is also envisaged that Wyndham Harbour marina will become the venue for boating events, regattas and regular race days. Darren Finkelstein, known as The Boat Guy, has joined the team at Wyndham Harbour as the resident power-boating expert for the marina development. Finkelstein is the face of the power-boating community. He has written two best-selling books – Honey, let’s buy a BOAT! and Honey, let’s go BOATING!, and has regular television and radio programs. He founded St Kilda Boat Sales and Service Centre and is a keynote speaker for the motor boating industry. With his deep understanding of the needs of motor boat owners and buyers, Finkelstein is on hand at Wyndham Harbour to provide information for potential marina berth purchasers and holds familiarisation sessions for people interested in what the marina will have to offer. “Wyndham Harbour will offer boaties everything they want from a marina,” says Finkelstein, and lists convenience, accessibility and support infrastructure as key elements. 22 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ FEBRUARY 25, 2015

“Within 30 seconds of starting the boat, you will be on the bay. If your boat is moored in the water, you will have 24-hour access; you can spend the day there and enjoy the sunset.” He says the location of the marina is convenient for western suburbs boat owners as well as being an excellent location for exploring the bay. Docklands is 17 nautical miles away – about 45 minutes by boat. St Kilda and Brighton are about 14 nautical miles. Wyndham Harbour is also expected to become a destination for sailors from other ports. “Boat owners around Melbourne are always really keen to have a new destination. “They can come here, stay in the visitors’ berths and have a meal and enjoy the atmosphere and the events that are held here,” Finkelstein says. “Boating is such a marvellous family activity,” he says. “It gets the kids off the computer and out into the fresh air. They learn new skills. They learn about the weather. It’s something the whole family can do together and each person has a role and tasks.” Marina berths, ranging in size from 10 to 30 metres, are now selling and a limited number of long-term leases are available. Wyndham Harbour comprises land lots and stylish apartment buildings on the shore of Port Phillip Bay with city views. The town centre, Marina Square, is shaded by palm trees. Joe’s Cafe is next door. There are two apartment buildings – Marina Quays Apartments was completed in June and residents have moved in; the Lighthouse apartments, designed by SJB Architects, is selling now, with apartments starting from $355,000. Tennis courts, landscaped recreation areas, open space, bike paths and walking trails will be delivered in stages. Melbourne is 30 minutes by car from Wyndham Harbour and Geelong is 40 minutes away. Local buses connect Werribee South with Werribee railway station and eight other bus routes. A ferry service from Wyndham Harbour to Docklands is a tantalising possibility. Coffee with the Boat Guy sessions are held each Wednesday at noon, 2pm and 4pm, and on Sundays at 2pm and 4pm. Tours meet at the Wyndham Harbour sales suite. To confirm attendance at one of the sessions, contact Anne Baker at baker@wyndhamharbour.com.au or phone 9034 3858. Walk-ins are welcome.

MY WYNDHAM Through tragedy can come the courage and wisdom to help others, as Werribee resident Margaret Markovic has found. “Even if we save one life by educating people about road trauma it will be worth it,” she tells Rebecca Miller. What’s your connection to the local community? In 2006, my daughter Lisa and I co-founded Road Trauma Families Victoria after losing my son and her brother, Daniel, to road trauma in 2004. We started the not-for-profit organisation to support families through the early stages of grief and, as we understand what they’re going through, to help them navigate the court system. We advocate for change to improve laws related to driving legislation that will assist victims and meet regularly with government ministers to lobby for change. We also visit schools, Rotary and Probus clubs to present on issues of road safety and trauma. We’ve been working on a program for young people who have lost a sibling to road trauma called R2R (Raw to Roar) to help them cope with their raw feelings and get to the stage where they can be confident and roar loudly. Recently, we worked with the Department of Justice on a safe-driver program. I’m also a member of the West Gate Road Safe Committee and I’m on the Wyndham Anzac commemorative committee to commemorate the 60 soldiers from the Wyndham area involved in World War 1. I’m co-ordinating projects, including creating

[model] soldiers who will be placed in schools, clubs and community centres with information about each individual and their story so locals can understand who they were and what they did. We’re also creating a mural dedicated to the young men who fought, which will be mounted at Werribee RSL, and hosting an interactive display for students at Werribee RSL on April 16. What do you like about your neighbourhood? We live in a lovely, quiet part of Werribee near Federation Trail, which is where I like to walk our dogs. It’s a friendly neighbourhood and we’re close to the freeway, which is handy for travelling. What would you change in your neighbourhood? We need to increase the number of police, in particular patrolling on motorbikes. They need to interact more with the community and help people feel safe. What’s your favourite eatery or place to get coffee? Jaffa’s is where I often go with girlfriends. They have a great variety of food and drinks and the staff are friendly. I also enjoy picnics with my family along Werribee River.

The $2 million civic centre development has received the green light after almost a year of debate. Controversy has raged over the cost of the centre, with arguments about its size and whether the council can afford the repayments. While Cr Neville Hudson said he felt the project was beyond the councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capacity to pay, Cr Laurie Etherton, in recommending the council go ahead with new centre, said it would cater for the shireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs for the next 20 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we stop now, we will regret it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Werribee council has rejected a bid to make Werribee Cup Day a half-day holiday. The proposal by Werribee Racing Club was knocked back despite efforts by some councillors to raise support for the idea. A move to advertise the request and seek the views of the community was also defeated. Cr Stuart Southwick argued in favour of the holiday, saying it would boost local tourism. However, Cr Glen Clark said there were already too many public holidays and the real question was how much it would cost traders.

An internal investigation will be carried out by the Port of Melbourne Authority over its apparent failure to install warning signs at a Werribee South beach where a 12-year-old boy was killed by a power ski last weekend. The boy died after the ski hit the rubber dingy in which he was sitting with his 10-year-old brother. The small, family cove where the boy was struck was zoned exclusively for power ski use in July, 1994 and signs should have been installed.

Werribee shopkeepers are demanding action against drug dealers they claim are doing deals in broad daylight off Watton Street. A concerned business owner said dealers had set up shop on seats in Station Place, with some sellers having small children in tow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m carrying money, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m scared to death,â&#x20AC;? she told the Banner. Banner Another business owner said the problem was not confined to Station Place and warned of a looming war between rival local ethnic gangs.

TRAVEL WYNDHAM.STARWEEKLY.COM.AU The mighty Murray at sunset, and a kookaburra with its prey (inset). (Stephen Linnell)

Luxury on the Murray Stephen Linnell describes the delights of cruising down one of Australia’s iconic waterways The kookaburra sat in the old gum tree. Watching, waiting. Before long, he swooped down and in the blink of an eye retrieved his prey, a small yabby, and returned to his perch. It was a classic Australian moment, captured from the balcony level of our executive houseboat on the banks of the mighty Murray River – just one of many highlights during four nights of luxury living on one of the world’s most famous rivers.

Less than three hours from Melbourne, houseboat cruising on the Murray is an inexpensive way to combine Australiana with water sports and adventure. Our trip began on a Sunday with a night spent on land in a three-bedroom villa by the river at the wondrous Moama on Murray Resort. There were ample sleeping arrangements for our party of six with room to spare. The modern resort sits on 52 hectares of tranquil surroundings offering peace and quiet

– or excitement and adventure – with a range of facilities and activities available. Moama boasts plenty of attractions for both adults and children, including pools, tennis courts, barbecue facilities, Jurassic Water Park for the kids and mini-golf. But the best came the next day as we boarded the two-level houseboat to begin our journey up the river. The boat we boarded is one of two large watercraft built on steel pontoons. The windows

are tinted and inside is fitted out like a modern luxury unit. It boasts four bedrooms and two bathrooms, both situated on the first level behind the helm. Past the bedrooms, the boat opens up to a huge, fully equipped kitchen, dining and lounge area which has one of two flat screen televisions on board. Level one, including all bedrooms, is fully air-conditioned, which was a blessing for us as the temperature soared between 38 to 41 degrees during our stay.

A number of us took the chance to use the river’s strong current to float down stream, while others went for a run or walk along the banks of the river. There’s plenty of opportunity to disembark and enjoy land-based activities, but the boat is so spacious and self-contained that it’s easy to stay on board throughout your journey. As the week progressed, we took the opportunity to cruise the river and find new beach areas to explore and settle in for the evening. We shared the cost of the trip between four families, so it cost less than $650 per couple for a four-night luxury cruise along one of Australia’s most iconic destinations. Prices vary according to seasons and events, but you can choose between three, four or seven-night cruises. Spreading the cost across families makes it a cost-effective way to enjoy memories that will last a lifetime.

There is also a double foldout couch located in the helm area to comfortably cater for 10 people on board. But it is the upper deck where most of the fun is had. The centrepiece is an eight-person spa, four-burner barbecue and kitchenette including sink and bar fridge. The 106-centimetre television can be viewed from the spa, while there is also an all-in-one DVD, CD and iPod dock with built-in sound system. Guests can relax on the sun lounges or comfortable outdoor furniture. A washing machine and ironing facilities are included. After a short induction and driving lesson, we set off upstream on our voyage of discovery. We chose to holiday once school had returned. It was a wise choice as traffic on the river was greatly reduced, giving us more opportunities to find suitable beach areas to land and tie off the boat. Mooring places are limited as most of the suitable locations on the New South Wales side of the river are privately owned and access is restricted. Victoria, however, has a 60-metre crown reserve along the edge of the Murray, allowing greater choice for pulling up and mooring. High points of the trip came each evening as the sun went down. The changing hue of the Murray at sunset is an experience in itself. Soon after, you can lie on the deck lounges and gaze skyward, taking in the millions of bright stars and listening to the unique sounds of the Australian bush. A holiday on such a houseboat is really a collision between luxury living and basic Australiana. During our four nights on the boat, there was plenty of time to try to catch a Murray cod off the landing platform. Unfortunately, we came up short. We watched as water skiers zoomed past, landing a few tricks over their boat’s wake as they went.

R espect, Co-Operation & Excellence

It was April 1, 2014, when Shadowfax winemaker Matt Harrop took a call from Yalumba vineyard nursery manager Nick Dry. “Look, those vines you think are carignan, we’ve had them genetically tested and they’re not carignan, they’re mataro,” said Dry. As far as April Fools’ pranks go, this would have been a good one – except it was true. It’s another chapter in Australia’s history of mistaken grapes. The southern Rhône’s carignan has been discovered masquerading as mataro and as the Spanish grape bonvedro. Recently, plantings of the Spanish albariño were found to be savagnin, a French native. “When we put the carignan in, we sort of banged the carignan drum, because we figured we were probably the only people in Victoria who would,” says Harrop, who blended the grapes into Shadowfax’s Minnow red. “But our ’12 and ’13, which both say ‘carignan’ on the label, have no carignan in them.” The Minnow, a blend of grapes found in France’s Rhône valley – shiraz, mataro, cinsault and carignan – was re-labelled for the soon-to-be released 2014 wine. Harrop’s mataro was originally sourced from a vineyard that was planted in the 1880s in what was said to be carignan. There had never really been a reason to question what was planted. “We pride ourselves on being this incredibly technological, incredibly on to it, the most scientific-based wine industry on the planet. And we’ve still got these unwritten histories of grapevines,” says Harrop, who has since sourced carignan and grafted it into his

vineyard. “I think it’s actually quite a cool thing. “It’s just oral tradition that the block [where the cuttings came from], planted in the 1880s, has always been carignan. And so whoever put it in the ground must have put in mataro. I often wonder how much more of that is out there.” The mistaken mataro is still in the ground and, for Harrop, the effort to source genuine carignan was part of a bigger plan for his Werribee vineyard.

‘‘

We sort of banged the carignan drum

’’

“We decided to put it in because we’re dry-grown here; we’re quite warm. We’ve never really made shiraz with much more than a sort of fruitiness and tannin, and we’ve never really been able to get much spice or pepper or anything in the wines,” he says. “We grafted southern French varietals – what we thought was carignan, plus grenache, mataro, and cinsault – because shiraz doesn’t like the heat. A lot of people say it does, but it sort of sags. These other varietals have grown up in heat. “Carignan’s regarded as a bit of a workhouse varietal in the South of France, because it crops like buggery. It was the most widely planted red grape in France until about 1990, and is responsible for making an ocean of ordinary booze.” With careful vineyard management keeping crop levels down to increase its flavour intensity, carignan will soon have a role at Shadowfax.

An excellent location isn’t the only thing on offer at this large two-storey house – spaciousness is also on the agenda. Entry into the main foyer reveals a separate lounge area with polished floorboards that continue to the end of the hallway where the hub of the house is located. An impressively large family-meals area abuts the kitchen which has black stone benchtops and stainless-steel dishwasher and 900mm upright oven. Of the three bedrooms, two have built-in wardrobes; the main has a walk-in and en suite. An additional upstairs living area could be used as either a study or children’s retreat, depending on the buyer’s needs. A remote-controlled double garage provides a secure spot to park, while the-low maintenance backyard means more time can be spent with the family. Within walking distance of Werribee Plaza, parks and schools, the location alone is sure to have admirers forming a queue.

On a corner block, this dwelling’s exterior may have a classic style, but inside a stylish contemporary feel is the order of the day. The large family-meals area forms the hub of the house and the adjoining kitchen has black benchtops (which contrast nicely with the glossy white floor tiles) and stainless-steel dishwasher, underbench oven and gas cooktop. There’s a lounge room at the front upon entry, while the rumpus room at the back provides additional living space. Three of the four bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and are serviced by the main bathroom with spa. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and en suite. There’s a large, covered outdoor area, and a double garage with rear access to a single garage and tool shed. Shops, parkland, schools, Princes Freeway and Aircraft train station are a short drive away.

On about 669 square metres, this triple-fronted house offers a great combination of size, space and location. The kitchen has a breakfast bar, stainless-steel dishwasher and gas upright cooker, and abuts the family-meals area where black-and-white checkerboard flooring is pleasingly reminiscent of a vintage 1950’s diner. The three big bedrooms are serviced by a renovated bathroom that continues the stylish black-and-white motif. Extra features include polished floorboards, heating and cooling – and a mechanic’s pit in the large garage. The big backyard has a covered outdoor area for entertainment, in addition to a gas-heated spa. A well-established vegie garden and fruit trees should also appeal to green thumbs, and a fish pond evokes the serenity of water. The property is a short walk to shops, schools and parks, with Werribee train station a short drive away.

Potential buyers can rest easy knowing this Federation-style house has everything a growing family may want. A large lounge room with polished floorboards is near the entrance. Abutting a spacious family-meals area at the rear, the kitchen has a classic feature tile splashback, timber cabinets and stainless-steel dishwasher, underbench oven, and cooktop. Two of the three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and are serviced by the main bathroom; the main has a walk-in and en suite. In the backyard, a covered outdoor area is the perfect place to either sit and watch the kids play, or have a bit of quiet time with friends. In the secluded back streets of Wyndham Vale, the property is a short drive from shops and schools, with parklands a short walk away.

It’s little wonder the owners of this classic of the ’70s say they are sad to leave because the combination of sweet location and family-friendly floor plan is a surefire winner. Built by well-respected local Roland Wade, the house faces the leafy environs of the Werribee River and fantastic walking/ bike paths that take one on a short jaunt to the main street. Werribee has several impressive pockets and this is certainly one of them, where a sense of seclusion and limited passing traffic has a priceless cachet. Beyond gorgeous ornamental gardens that show off their beauty through the

Private sale

seasons, the house has an entry into a tiled hallway where the exposed bricks (now painted in varying Tuscan tones throughout) are the first of the ’70s hallmarks on display. A right turn then takes one to a carpeted study (or fifth bedroom), a laundry with workbench, and a powder room that services the next-door main bedroom. White bifold plantation shutters in here juxtapose nicely with a latte-toned feature wall, and there’s a walk-through robe to a compact open en suite with basin and shower. The remaining three bedrooms (two with split-system and robe) are upstairs, as is a

bathroom with retro wall tiles straight from the ’70s. Multi-angled dormer ceilings add a definite charm, and river views come into their own up here. Expansive, well-zoned living areas are a strength of this place. One is a huge family room where the back gardens are seen in their full glory and form a backdrop to a gabled pergola above brick paving – a really serene and pretty place in which to relax and entertain. Another is a big rumpus room (accessed from the meals area) with exposed bricks all around and a door to the front porch. The kitchen has white-painted timber

cupboards topped with timber-trimmed laminate, Simpson dual wall ovens, 900mm electric cooktop and a Smeg dishwasher – and river views from the sink. The abutting meals area has a Coonara wood heater which sends warmth throughout, and there’s zoned gas heating as back-up. On a corner block of about 665 square metres, the house also has a single garage (accessed through side gates) in a superb backyard, a remote-controlled double garage, two water tanks with about 7000-litre capacity and a sprinkler system.

ornate accessories are the perfect way to bring these new stylish trends into homes,” Kristina says. “When it comes to styling the interior of a home it’s important to keep big-ticket items and hard surfaces such as kitchens and bathrooms neutral and classic and leave on-trend pieces to soft furnishings such as cushions.” She says with colours it’s crucial to keep consistency in mind. “Carry out a similar colour theme throughout the home to make it feel

cohesive. This also makes executing a particular style easier.” For people not lucky enough to have a new place to live but who would like to give their current residence a new lease on life can still do so with some simple tricks. “Redesigning a home interior is a lot easier than most people think. A fresh coat of paint is one of the easiest and quickest ways to transform the feel of a room. “Homeowners who aren’t fond of repainting could invest in new cushions or complementary artwork to express their

personality, while maintaining the flexibility to easily change it,” Kristina says. Another great way to get interior design tips is to visit home shows or exhibitions on interior design to see what works. Or spend a weekend checking out display houses to view the latest designs. If all this talk of interior design has inspired some change at home or a spurt of creativity, embrace it and reap the rewards of living in a place that represents your individuality. Rebecca Miller

DEAR heart of Jesus, in the past I have asked for many favours. This time I ask you, this very special one (mentioned favour). Take it, the dear heart of Jesus, and place it with your own broken heart, where your father sees it. Then in his merciful eyes, it will become your favour, not mine. Amen. Say for three days, promise publication, and your favour will be granted.

TECH TALK

It’s music to your ears By Rod Easdown I love testing headphones. I can spend hours pretending to be hard at work while I’m listening to my favourite music, and headphones are small and light enough to send safely through the post so there’s no waiting around for couriers. And so I reach the first unusual thing about these Oppos; they’ve arrived in a box nudging a cubic metre and weighing as much as a dozen bottles of red. Most of the space is taken up by the HA1 amplifier that is six kilograms and costs $1799, both impressive numbers, and the packaging is such that, should nuclear war erupt between order and delivery, the box will likely arrive intact. The PM1 headphones ($1699) can operate independently of the HA1 amplifier but, given the technology in the amplifier, especially the digital to analogue converter (DAC), I suspect they’ll always be short-changed by anything else. And the way the amplifier handles big musical transients, like the thump halfway through the Firebird Suite, Suite is sensational. Open the PM1 box and one finds … another box. But it’s beautiful. All laminated wood and gold clasps with the headphones nestling in a bed of velour. I’m already weak at the knees and I haven’t plugged anything in yet. So I rig up the best CD player I own, feeding an optical signal into the HA1, which means all those little ones and zeroes will avoid the DAC in the CD player, to be turned into beautiful analogue music for my demonstrably analogue

ears by the vastly superior one in the Oppo. I put on an old Supertramp track, the slowly gathering Fool’s Overture from Even in the Quietest Moments, and suddenly I’m going all goosebumpy. It’s exciting, breathtaking, involving – just like the very first time I heard it. I follow that with some hard-driving techno punk that probably took an hour to record and three months to produce and I’m stunned that the bass line, moving blindingly fast and deep, can stay so accurately defined. Rebecca Pidgeon is up so close and personal I can see her lips moving, Miles Davis is alive

again, I crank Gypsy & The Cat so loud I can visualise the neighbours banging at the door were these not headphones. I’m almost too scared to put on the wonderful Dawn Upshaw and Górecki’s Third, the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. But not quite. I turn out all the lights and lie on my back and let it rip, and I feel the pain of a sorely oppressed people resigned to their fate, every lingering nuance of it. I feel it so keenly I am almost moved to tears. Now the Oppo folk want their stuff back and I am moved to tears.

SPORT Cats set mother of a chase by Clubbers Hoppers Crossing’s finals hopes could hinge on a massive run chase against top-of-the-ladder Yarraville Club in the VTCA senior division at Hansen Reserve on Saturday. The Cats will be asked to eclipse the defending champion Clubbers’ total of 8-275 or be at the mercy of Strathmore, which could steal their place in the final four. Strathmore is in the box seat in its match against relegation-bound Greenvale Kangaroos after posting 9-255, so it will be a nerve-racking final day for both clubs. The Cats, at least, have their destiny in their own hands. If they can pick off the hefty 276 runs for victory, they will play finals. In west A1, Point Cook will be in for the

fight of its life, needing to extract enough points out of its local derby with finals aspirant Wyndhamvale to avoid finishing on the bottom. The Warriors’ survival hopes are dangling by a thread after the team meandered through the opening day’s play. It was bowled out for a painfully slow 96 in 71.3 overs – a run rate of just 1.34 per over. Jay Dolliver left a trail of destruction en route to 4-13 from 16.3 overs. Dolliver is seventh in the competition for wickets, having taken 28 at a tidy 11.39 but this was a containing job at its best. Helping Dolliver do the damage for the Falcons were Chris Plummer (2-23), Ryan Radford (2-19) and Lance Macdougall (2-13).

There is simply no let-up for batsmen facing the Falcons’ bowling attack, hence the slow per over rate. Travis Bean top-scored for the Warriors with 20. The Falcons, who need to win to assure themselves a spot in the finals, were 0-20 at stumps, just 77 from victory. The fifth-placed Footscray United, the only side that could leap into fourth, has already succumbed on first innings and will need an outright to displace the Falcons. In west B1, Seabrook, playing for nothing more than pride, posted 209 against Footscray ANA after 92 from middle-order batsman Dhavel Patel. ANA was 1-36 at stumps. Lance Jenkinson

IN THE DOGHOUSE It will be a sad day if one of the founding clubs of the old Footscray District League fails to take part in the 2015 season. When the league was formed in 1931, Parkside fielded two teams, Parkside A and B. The 1931 grand final was played between Parkside A and Braybrook, with the first premiership cup going to Parkside. Footy in the west will be much poorer if Parkside sits out this season with the hope of rejoining in 2016. Love them or hate them – and that is the usual emotion for the club – they’re an integral part of the history and future of the league. Whatever it takes to keep the doors of this club open should be done by everyone. I mean everyone, from those in positions of power at Parkside to every club in the competition, to the WRFL headquarters and AFL Victoria. Don’t let this club die because once the doors are closed there will be no turning back.

Heights Cricket Club has a big event this week, celebrating its 60th anniversary with a function on Wednesday night, February 25. The club has produced one Test cricketer in Colin ‘Funky’ Miller. A few well-known western suburbs sporting identities have represented the club such as Ian Rickman, Chris Burton, Ray Walker and John Markovski. Cameron Ling will be guest speaker at the function, which includes a multimedia presentation of the club’s 60 years. Well done to current president Chris Hatzoglou and his committee and may there be many more anniversaries to come. Hoppers Crossing Sports Club awards last weekend were held at the club and attended by more than 100 people. The Hall of Fame now boasts three new inductees in Mark Mitchell, Dale Dickson and Eddy Cumper and a new life member in Ron Meddings. Ryan Kitchen won the Rising Star award, Billy Davis was Member of the Year, Lisa Vann won Committee Person of the Year and David Lannigan and Nicole Bunworth took out the staff awards. The club has its roots in football and cricket but it has become bigger by embracing darts, netball, fishing, golf, swimming, Auskick and Milo cricket. This is certainly the way of the future for the survival of all sports clubs.

Centurions lift, at last By Lance Jenkinson A dramatic U-turn in the latter part of the Victorian Turf Cricket Association season has all but preserved Werribee Centrals’ west A1 division status for next season. The Centurions have spent most of the summer threatened by relegation, but an upset win over Wyndhamvale in the penultimate round and first innings points obtained over finals hunters Footscray United at Galvin Park on Saturday should steer them well clear of the drop, particularly with score updates at other grounds going in their favour at the weekend. Centurions wicketkeeper Chris Duffin told Star Weekly his side was buoyed by its win over Wyndhamvale a week prior and riding the momentum. “The win last week against Wyndhamvale was so important,” he said. “It just kept our season alive.” 78 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ FEBRUARY 25, 2015

The Centurions produced their best day of cricket in the season on Saturday, bowling United out for a paltry 60 and showing no mercy with the bat to finish the day at 4-141. “It was an absolutely phenomenal effort to bowl them out in 30 overs,” Duffin said. “The wicket gave us a bit of assistance; it was a little bit slow, but it wasn’t an ‘all out in 30 overs’ wicket either. “Once we got a bit of a sniff, we were able to run with it.” Aaron Edrich (3-36), Nathan Johnson (3-21) and Thanancheyan Arunthavapalan (3-1) snared three wickets each for the Centurions. Johnson is the form bowler at the club with nine wickets in his past three matches, but Edrich is still the boss with 28 scalps at just 11.4. It’s no secret that batting has been at the root of the Centurions’ problems this season, but

perhaps the tide has turned just in the nick of time. After losing opener Leigh McIntosh (4) and captain Nick Sardi (4) cheaply, there was a sense of ‘oh, not again’ about the small run chase. Seasoned campaigner Kulantha Ramanayake (21) was the “rock of the innings”, a steadying presence before Trent Milne (56no) and Chris Hughes (29no) unleashed late in the day. “We were 2-20 and to then only lose two more wickets showed that guys are willing to be a little bit more patient and they’re putting a bit more value on their wicket as well as still being positive,” Duffin said. “The last hour of the day we put on quite a few runs, not only because the bowlers were tired but because of the hard work the batsmen did to get there. “It will be fantastic to bat long periods of time next week and build towards next year.”

Taekwondo natural kicks on By Liam Twomey At just 14 years of age, Jade Milne-Parry has already enjoyed the sort of success about which most athletes merely dream. She’s a taekwondo natural. Milne-Parry has won eight Victorian junior championships and five national junior titles, her trophy cabinet filling steadily. “My brothers started doing taekwondo when I was younger so I thought I should start doing it, too,” Milne-Parry says. “They have quit, but I kept going. I train every night except Wednesdays. I would say my flexibility is probably my main strength.” Milne-Parry so dominates Australia she has to search far and wide for adequate competition. In the past three years she has claimed bronze medals at the Indonesian Open and at the Mt Everest Open in Nepal. Late last year she competed at the cadet world titles in Azerbaijan. “When I first started competing overseas it was a bit nerve-wracking but I’m getting used to it,” Milne-Parry said. “It’s always a great experience. “The world championships have probably been my favourite event. There were so many different countries there and I met heaps of people. It was just really fun.” Milne-Parry trains at renowned taekwondo centre Fighting Lyons in Essendon North. Now in year 8, she attends specialised sports school Maribyrnong College. “I love Maribyrnong,” she said. “I’ve been there since year 7. We do morning training from six until eight o’clock. After school we do normal training as well.” Milne-Parry, who competes in the under55-kilogram division, is setting some big

Goalmouth lapse hurts as Bees put on a solid show An inexplicable defensive set-piece blunder consigned Werribee City to a 2-1 defeat to Dandenong Thunder in its opening match of the NPL Victoria season at Galvin Park on Sunday. With scores locked at one apiece early in the second half, the Thunder’s Michael Gerace delivered a free kick from a threatening position, low and hard into the box, that found its way into the back of the net untouched. The Bees defenders were solely focused on their individual opponents and forgot about the ball, while goalkeeper Frano Saric misjudged the trajectory before it crossed the line. Bees assistant coach Agim Sherifovski said the basic rules of defending were forgotten.

“No one really took the initiative to get a head on to the ball or to get any contact,” he said. “Everyone pretty much charged the keeper and left the ball on its own. The basic rules – make contact with the ball and get a clearance – would’ve gone well there.” The players of both sides put on a good show despite extreme conditions. Stifling heat was followed by storms and humidity. The Bees came out of the second-half drinks break in search of an equaliser and thought they might have found it in stoppage time through Bobby Vidanovski, but his shot was fired over the crossbar. “It should’ve really been put away,” Sherifovski said.

There were some positives for the Bees. Josh Jokic reaped rewards for his hard work on the training track in recent weeks to score on debut. Jokic, who recently played in the US college system, has found a new home with the Bees. “He’s an excellent pick-up,” Sherifovski said. “He tucked in behind the striker today – his job is to link up, he’s got good technique and he’s nimble. He’s been training very well, always works hard and I think the goal would’ve done a bit for his confidence.” Former Socceroo Simon Colosimo made his much-anticipated Bees debut, producing a solid performance in defence. Arturo Ymeri, a boom recruit from

Avondale, and Daniel Chaabani were the other stand-outs. For all of the positives, the match hinged on one crucial moment. “It’s disappointing not to come away with something,” Sherifovski said. The Bees will play first-round winner Heidelberg United in a tough game at Galvin Park on Sunday. In FFA Cup, Truganina Hornets advanced to the second round after a 6-1 win over Marcellin Old Collegians at Arndell Park Reserve on Saturday night, while Hoppers Crossing had a 3-0 win over Newmarket Phoenix.

Tigers’ toil undone in the heat By Lance Jenkinson

The discomfort of a long day in the field is etched on the face of Werribee spinner Tim O’Brien. (Shawn Smits)

“The conditions weren’t really conducive to bowling, but we toiled hard,” Dean said. “I don’t think we bowled too badly, but the ball was pretty much cooked by the 14th over of the day. “We worked hard to try to get one side shined up and some reverse happening, but it

Sport shorts Bowls

Werribee pipped Lalor 76-74 for a thrilling victory on the final day of Bowls Victoria division 1’s home-and-aways. The Bees will enter the finals with a head of steam after consecutive wins. They meet Melton in an all-west semi-final on Saturday. Hoppers finished the division 2 season on a high note with a 93-77 win over Rosamond at home on Saturday. Hoppers managed only six wins all summer but finished on a three-game winning run to retain its place in the division.

Netball

City West Falcons have put on a show for the country folk. The VNL championship division ladder leaders routed Ballarat Sovereigns 67-29 at the Wendouree Sports and Events Centre on Saturday. 80 WYNDHAM STAR WEEKLY \ FEBRUARY 25, 2015

Goal shooter Kath Knott was prolific for the Falcons with 42 goals from 54 attempts, while goal attack Steph Tyrell hit 20 from 29. After a busy five games in 14 days, the Falcons will be looking forward to a lighter one-game week against Geelong Cougars in the 9.40pm game tonight at the State Netball and Hockey Centre.

Baseball

Werribee Giants have finished the Baseball Victoria summer league division 2 season in third place after a 10-0 final-round win over Bonbeach St Chads at Presidents Park on Saturday. The Giants will face Moorabbin in a best-of-three semi-final series, starting tonight at the Melbourne Ball Park in Altona, to determine which club will go through to the grand final series.

was a pretty flat wicket and a pretty hot day.” At 3-64, the match was evenly poised, but Streiff’s 85-run fourth-wicket stand with Adam Yates (44) gave the early honours to the Falcons. Heath Pritchard was the leading wicket-taker for the Tigers with 3-51,

taking his season tally to 29 wickets at 14.6 – the fourth-most wickets in the VSDCA north-west group. If the Tigers want to keep control of their finals destiny they will need to pass the target on Saturday. Otherwise, they’ll face a nervous final round a week later.

Werribee has paid a significant price for fumbling a chance off Roxburgh ParkBroadmeadows centurion Mitchell Streiff in the midst of a career-best batting performance. Streiff starred in the middle order, with the Tigers missing the chance to limit his damaging efforts when the opportunity was presented in the VSDCA north-west match. The Falcons all-rounder compiled a further 50 runs after the dropped catch to bring up his maiden first XI century. Streiff finished 114 not out off 141 balls, including nine fours and three sixes, to put the visitors in a strong position: 8-259 at the compulsory close on day one. Tigers captain Shaun Dean said the day might have turned out differently for his side if the Streiff chance had stuck. “It was the only blemish of the day fielding-wise but it was a costly one,” he said. “If we’d got him, they probably make 200 to 210 and that’s a good day for us … we drop him and they make 260. We’re going to have to bat well to get them.” The Tigers lucked out at the toss as the coin again did not fall Dean’s way. That forced his men to field in hot conditions and they were feeling the pinch at the end of the day. “Unfortunately, I can’t really win a toss to save myself at the moment,” he said. “I think I’ve only won two for the whole year.” Dean was proud of his team’s efforts in the heat. The Streiff blemish aside, it was a day on which the Tigers maintained their composure, held their catches and even inflicted two run outs.

Lucky winner

Euro Holden coming

Nissan celebrated selling its 150,000th X-Trail in Australia by waiving the purchase price for one lucky buyer. The company randomly selected an X-Trail buyer from November’s sales tally. The lucky recipients were the Adair family, of Darley, near Bacchus Marsh, who had a white X-Trail on order at Western Nissan in Caroline Springs. Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota have been announced as featured brands for the inaugural Australian Motoring Festival, to be held from March 26-29 at Melbourne Showgrounds. The Australian Motoring Festival, a joint initiative of VACC and RACV, will feature four action-packed days of automotive showcases and driving experiences. It will differ from a traditional display-style motor show by providing visitors with multiple opportunities to interact with vehicles and vehicle technology through test drives and simulation. Ticket prices start from $30 for adults and $20 for children, with discounts for RACV and VACC members. Details: www.australianmotoringfestival. com.au

Finding a local GP can sometimes be a daunting task. Everyone wants a doctor they can trust, one who will care about their health and the health of their family. For the past 12 months, Palmers Medical Centre in Truganina has been providing the local community with the highest standard of care. The centre employs 12 staff, including doctors Anil Cheeti, Aparna Nedunuri, Ming Wu, Kishore Parboo, David Feng and Sana Al-Rubaye. Together they specialise in women’s health, chronic disease management and family medicine. Allied health professionals are also on site and specialise in pathology, physiotherapy, chiropractic, ultrasound, diabetic education, exercise psychology, and more. The clinic is in a residential area within walking distance of many patients living in Williams Landing and Truganina who need a GP close by. The centre is also within reach of Tarneit, Point Cook and Hoppers Crossing residents. ‘‘Our clinic is easily accessible to everyone in the area and we offer patients a bright, clean

environment with access to ample on-site parking,’’ Dr Cheeti says. The clinic’s vision is “to provide holistic care and a promise of quality professional service to all patients by all staff”. Ethical health care practices and respect for the rights of patients are at the core of the centre’s philosophy. “Our team actively cultivates an environment in which loyalty, honesty and co-operation are standard values in our dealings with staff, patients, specialists and all other individuals who come into contact with the clinic,” Dr Cheeti says. The centre aims to enhance existing services and create new strategic opportunities while building value for patients, the community, employees and general practitioners.
