BOOM TIME A host of Easter activities and thousands of tourists underline the Bellarine’s standing as one of the state’s leading holiday destinations

BY ALISON MARTIN A BUMPER Easter for local accommodation and tourism operators has given the peninsula industry confidence the Bellarine is forging ahead as a premier holiday destination.

The largest seafood feast in Australia, national seafood trade fair, charity restaurant, family fairs, art shows and the growing list of awardwinning wineries on the peninsula culminated over the Easter break to promote the peninsula as a major tourist attraction.

With many first-time visitors exploring the Bellarine, repeat visits can be expected and as cold weather discourages beach-goers, the popularity of the Bellarine Taste Trail has operators optimistic the region has established a promising winter tourism opportunity.

Geelong Otway Tourism deputy director, Terry Hickey, said the sentiment among tourism operators was that it had been a “very good Easter” and numbers were probably up on last year, although visitation figures had not been finalised.

He confirmed the large number of events on the Bellarine, including the Seafood Feast, which already had a strong following, had contributed to increased visitation to the peninsula.

“All of these activities help to raise the profile of the region,” he said.

For new tourist resort, the Bellarine Big4, almost 1,000 people stayed over Easter, taking their guest list to more than 8,600 people since opening in September last year.

Bellarine Big4 operator, Sophie Bone, said the response from visitors had been “overwhelming”, with some families returning to the park for the third or fourth time since it had opened just over six months ago.

“Over Easter we were booked out; 80 sites and 25 units and the kids’ club

activities were so popular,” she said.

Bone said as guests were leaving they were already planning to come back for their next holiday and recommending the Bellarine Big4 to friends.

“We even have people booking for Easter 2012,” she added.

Blues Train operator and Bellarine Tourism chair, Hugo Armstrong, said the popular musical-rail experience had also been booked out over Easter.

“We were full as usual and we had a lot of first timers, which is great,” he said.

He said Easter was a unique holiday because it was a longer break and people came from all over Australia to the Bellarine for its attractions, particularly the Queenscliff Seafood Feast.

Armstrong also praised the ‘park and ride’ initiative to reduce traffic congestion in Queenscliff, which allowed Good Friday visitors to leave their cars at Suma Park and travel by train to the seafood festival.

“It would be great if the service could be made available for other Queenscliff events like the music festival and the hot rod show,” he said.

Queenscliff Seafood Feast, Seafood Show and Charity Restaurant marketing manager, Scott Talbot, said the feedback from everyone was that the mammoth combination of seafood events was so wonderful that organisers would “undoubtedly do it again”.

“The Seafood Feast was a success operationally and the world class entertainment and Seafood Show gave people more to do; the response was overwhelmingly positive,” he said.

Talbot and family members, Grant and Michelle Talbot, had spent six months voluntarily organising the massive philanthropic attraction, which included processing 3,000 reservations for the magnificent five-star Charity Restaurant on the Queenscliff pier.

Covering the Surf Coast & Bellarine Peninsula

Winners of the Impetus Youth Awards will be announced on Thursday evening at Geelong Conference Centre.

Now in their third year, the awards aim to acknowledge all those young people who make significant contributions to their communities across many fields, including education, leadership, sport, culture, the arts and the environment.

There are 13 categories for awards, which recognise both the individual and group efforts of the many young people who have shown initiative and leadership in their areas of interest.

This year we received more than 90 nominations. Congratulations to all the young people and groups from the Bellarine who were nominated: Jacinta Carroll (Connewarre) Bronte Connoley (Queenscliff)

Crash Course Productions (Drysdale) Lauren Dempsey (Clifton Springs) Nicki Dunne (Ocean Grove) Jacquelyn Hawthorn (Clifton Springs) Erin Lazarus (Ocean Grove) Mission Youth Foundations (Drysdale) Dianne Nash (Wallington) Liam Nelson (Drysdale) Ocean Grove Neighbourhood Centre Jenna Sinclair (Portarlington) The Student Government Environment Team (Drysdale) Liam Way (Ocean Grove) Blaise White (Drysdale) The successful nominees will receive a $500 contribution towards their community work, field of study or nominated charity.

At the meeting residents and long term camping ground users said that services falling under the responsibility of the Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management are not being appropriately managed and were increasingly lagging behind public expectations.

The meeting was tense at times and it was obvious to all in attendance that a communication gap exists between the coastal managers and the Bellarine community. Those in attendance, and the wider community, have called for the organisation to improve consultation with residents and users of the Bellarine Peninsula foreshore.

I recently presented a petition to parliament with over 1600 signatures calling on the Brumby Labor Government to address community concerns relating to the running and performance of the Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management.

The Liberal Nationals Coalition is committed to restructuring this organisation and improving facilities along the Bellarine Peninsula. The Coalition proposes to review all the issues raised at the meeting before further consulting with the community on the best way to proceed. Clearly, the make-up of the Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management

A recent public meeting at the St Leornards Memorial Hall, organised by local resident Kurt Reiter, was attended by more than 50 people who voiced concern that the coastal area between Point Richards and Edwards Point is being mismanaged.

departed from its mentality of providing spin rather than substance in relation to public health care.

Inadequate government resourcing and poor administration are forcing hospitals to cut corners so that it looks like they are meeting targets. These factors have resulted in medical staff being pressured to discharge patients quickly or too soon. A tragic example of this is a mother forced to drive her daughter, who was suffering with acute appendicitis, from Geelong Hospital to Ballarat Base Hospital because she could not be seen in the emergency department at Geelong.

Labor governments have failed the public health system miserably. The mismanagement of resources has been a blight on the health system during the past decade.

Time to celebrate our youth

BY ALISON MARTIN THIS IS Youth Week 2010 and the Bellarine is celebrating the talents, contributions and achievements of young people.

Capping off a week of activities across the City of Greater Geelong will be the Impetus Youth Awards on Thursday, April 15.

City of Greater Geelong councillor, Jan Farrell, said a large number of Bellarine people had been nominated for the awards which included 13 categories, all offering $500 for the winner. “The Impetus Youth Awards in particular have a strong focus on developing a more

positive image of young people in the media and broader community,� she said.

Youth Week is also an opportunity to promote the programmes, projects and facilities available to young people on the Bellarine.

Farrell said there were a number of other current, youth-focused projects she had proudly been involved with on the Bellarine, including the establishment of a new Headspace site at the Potato Shed, the expansion of the Potato Shed to meet demand, Crash Course Productions’ Spud Fest and Ocean Grove’s sporting masterplan.

Farrell said plans were being developed to extend the Potato Shed, including a new

3

theatre space and music room, because the arts centre was operating at 90 per cent capacity with the opportunity for more use if the venue was larger.

She encouraged young Bellarine people to enjoy the Youth Week and look out for the Youthcan Van at events and activities including the Youth Activities Area, Waterfront Geelong and schools in the Barwon South West network. “Young people can catch the van between 12noon to 4pm until April 18 for plenty of fun activities such as badge making and X-Boxing,� Farrell said.

For more information about Geelong Youth Week activities visit www. youthcan.vic.gov.au

New Headspace for Drysdale

BY ALISON MARTIN YOUTH support service, Headspace, will open a centre for the Bellarine community by the beginning of June.

The new Headspace site will be set up at Drysdale, near the Potato Shed, to assist young people aged 12 to 25 and their families deal with different problems and provide access to expert help covering a range of areas.

Services will include counselling, health and wellbeing and access to general practitioners and specialist support.

Bellarine Community Health chief

executive, John Fendyk, said the relocatable building was due to arrive at the Potato Shed site by Friday, coinciding with Youth Week 2010. “This is a fantastic opportunity for the youth on the Bellarine,� he said. “We want to work in partnership with the schools, community, and other stakeholders to provide relevant services to meet the needs of the youth on the Bellarine. “We plan to set up the facility with office furniture, plumbing, electricity, IT, telephone and other equipment over the next month, and have services starting

late May or early June. “We expect to start operating Monday to Friday, for half days from 12-5pm.�

Karen Oliver, manager families and community, can be contacted for further information on Headspace and the services which will be offered.

Headspace Barwon already operates from Geelong’s old post office in Ryrie Street and at Corio.

Headspace is a federal government initiative, funded by City of Greater Geelong and State Government, under the auspice of Bellarine Community Health

Liberal pledge would ease problems LIBERAL candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, believes his party’s pledge to recruit and train 1,600 police officers would have significant benefits for the region.

He said the Bellarine experienced an enormous influx of tourists and transient populations during peak holiday periods, which placed great pressure on police resources. “The Greater Geelong region’s crime increase has proven our regional community is not immune from safety and security issues currently plaguing the city,� he said. “For those of us who live in regional and provincial towns, we do so for a reason. We love the safety, security, amenity and sense of community the Bellarine provides. “It is a basic responsibility of government to protect its citizens yet Victoria has the fewest frontline police per capita and spends less on police resourcing per capita than any other state in Australia.�

Reiter said an effective response to crime needed an adequate number of police on the street.

He said in Ocean Grove, one of our fastest

growing townships, local police have confirmed marijuana use was an issue. “Only last month police raided an Ocean Grove home in a crackdown on dealers believed to be targeting teenagers,� Reiter said. “A week earlier, police raided another property in Ocean Grove and uncovered an alleged commercial crop and only weeks before that police raided an alleged cannabis grower and dealer at a property on Curlewis Road. “The coalition has promised, if elected, to recruit and train 1,600 additional police officers ready for frontline policing duties in the community. “The coalition will provide $344million over four years to fund an additional 1,600 police, plus an additional $65million capital allocation for operational equipment. This includes $8million for expanded training facilities and staff at the police academy. “We will see an unprecedented impact in every suburb, town and region where police stations have been undermanned, especially during peak holiday Kurt Reiter said the Liberal party pledge for 1,600 new periods as we face in the Bellarine.� police officers would be a boost for the Bellarine.

$20,000 of art sold Drysdale Rotary president, Stuart Barker, and art show chair, Mercedes Drummond, thanked the many supporting artists including Richard Jones who donated a apainting for a silent auction.

A RECORD crowd supported this year’s Drysdale Rotary Club’s Easter Art Show, with more than 900 people attending the two-day exhibition at Leopold LINC. Art show chair, Mercedes Drummond, said the show’s success was proven with the results of the major fundraiser, which included $4,000 raised by the club from the show and $7,000 from the raffle, which will go to the Geelong Hospital’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre.

Prizes were donated by leading artists and supporters of the annual show including Hugh

Guthrie and Bruno Callori.

Jones also donated a large watercolour for a silent auction prize, contributing to the thousands of dollars raised by the local Rotary Club.

Drummond said there were more than 400 paintings entered and 60 sold, with art sales totalling $20,000.

Plans are already under way for the 2011 show, which involves months of organising and many volunteer hours by Rotarians and artists who support the show each year.

Bring back Bellarine

BY ALISON MARTIN WITH A state election just months away, the reformation of the Shire of Bellarine is back on the community agenda.

The controversial amalgamation of shires across Victoria in 1993 was considered to have substantial benefits for the management of local government areas.

However, there have also been issues raised by outlying communities concerned with city-based administration.

Bellarine resident, Peter Cowden, is using this year’s state election to rally support for a separate Bellarine council, replacing the existing arrangement under the City of Greater Geelong.

Cowden’s views focus on the size and population of the City of Greater Geelong, “which is rapidly heading towards 300,000 people, but with a diverse range of concerns�.

In his letter to the editor, Cowden has also been critical of the distribution of Bellarine rates, which he believes will be used to fund the Armstrong Creek development and Geelong-centric projects.

Cowden is encouraging political parties to promote the idea of a separate council for the Bellarine Peninsula in their platform for the forthcoming state election.

Member for Bellarine, Lisa Neville, said her priority was to ensure the residents of Bellarine were well represented and supported by the City of Greater Geelong. “The issue of a separate council was raised by the Liberal Bellarine candidate as a part of the 2006 election,� she said. “At the time we investigated the impact this would have and found it would result in significant rate rises without delivering additional services or infrastructure for Bellarine Peninsula residents.�

Liberal candidate for Bellarine, Kurt Reiter, said the Shire of Bellarine concept was popular among residents he had spoken with, but only some had specific problems with CoGG – like the condition of roads on the Lower Bluff or hard rubbish collection. “Shadow Minister for Local Government, Jeanette Powell, would be prepared to initiate a full review to consider de-amalgamation if the coalition is elected,� he said.

Reiter said without access to government resources the coalition could only investigate the idea of local government boundary restructure, not commit to change.

Historic mill opens doors PORTARLINGTON Mill will be featured as part of the Geelong Heritage Festival 2010.

The four-storey sandstone flour mill was built in 1857 and is located in Turner Court, off Sproat Street, Portarlington.

Mill equipment was powered by steam and a short jetty was built to enable small traders to load and carry the flour to Melbourne and to Tasmania.

The jetty was later extended for the loading of flour on to bay paddle steamers, however, the flour mill only operated until 1874 and was later used for various industries.

The former Shire of Bellarine bought the Mill in 1970 to save the building from demolition, handing it over to the National Trust for restoration.

The historic mill will be open this weekend, providing an insight into 19th century industry on the Bellarine.

The open days will be included in a varied programme of events arranged by more than 40 community groups across the City of Greater Geelong, coinciding with World Heritage Day on April 18.

The Portarlington Mill will be open from 12pm to 4pm, with entry fees at $4 for adult, $3 concession, $2 for children and family $8.

London, here we come OCEAN Grove band and national Battle of the Bands winners, The Rustys, said goodbye to their allegiance of friends and fans with some big performances on the weekend, before jetting off to London.

Starting the weekend, Beau Torrance, Lachie McKiernan and Matt Blach, played a farewell concert at Ocean Grove Park

on Saturday, with local bands Sambrose Automobile and The Houses.

On Sunday they headed to the grand final of the Bellarine Skate Series in Point Lonsdale to entertain the large audience.

The Rustys are now planning their trip to England for the Global Battle of Bands at the Scala on April 27.

The winning band in the World Final will be awarded a band development package worth over $100,000 and a special gold ‘Best New Band in the World’ statuette.

The package includes one week in a top UK recording studio with a producer, a 10-date tour of major UK cities and $US10,000 in cash.

Best of luck to The Rustys.

Senior Constable Mick Taylor, Leading Senior Constable Roger Lawry and Senior Constable Mark Lewry will be among the members supporting Saturday’s bike ride and open day.

Police open day

BELLARINE Police and Community Team will raise money for the Australian Red Cross with an open day and bike ride this Saturday.

The 87-kilometre police-escorted bike ride will leave the Bellarine Police Station in Ocean Grove and take cyclists through Queenscliff, St Leonards, Portarlington, Drysdale, Leopold and Barwon Heads.

Cyclists will return to the police station in time for the public open day starting at 10am.

The open day will feature tours of the station and visits from the Victorian Water Police, dog squad and operational police from 10am-2pm.

A gold coin donation on entry will go directly to the Australian Red Cross, with a sausage sizzle and refreshments also available to assist with fundraising efforts.

For more information on the ride, open day or donations, contact Sergeant Laurie Taylor at Bellarine Police Station on 5256 2698.

Musical benefit from gardens

BY ALISON MARTIN THE BARWON Heads Fine Music Society has raised $4,000 for its second annual Carnival of Music, through last week’s successful open garden day.

Three hundred people visited diverse gardens in Barwon Heads, including four private properties and the Community Arts Garden.

Society member, Maggie Isom, said the gardens demonstrated how the community of Barwon Heads was moving towards sustainable gardens, which would require very little water in the future.

The Easter Monday event also showcased the established community garden, where live music was presented by

Andrew and Sally Hobbs and Devonshire tea was served by the music society to further boost their fundraising efforts.

Carnival of Music director, Laurence Hodgkinson, said the funds would help subsidise the carnival, planned for October 8, 9 and 10.

The varied programme of talented performers will include acclaimed pianist, Caroline Almonte, Melbourne Opera Company, Australian Chamber of Strings, Welsh Male Voice Choir and the National Boys Choir.

Carnival entertainment will also include lunch with Gilbert and Sullivan and Jazz at Jirrahlinga Koala and Wildlife Sanctuary.

He said the carnival would present

quality music, representing all genres from classical to jazz and attract a broad audience.

However, he said the cost of bringing high calibre performers to Barwon Heads would limit those who could attend, as ticket costs were not offset by fundraising and grants.

Hodgkinson said the society had received $5,000 from the City of Greater Geelong towards the music carnival and the society was also hoping to secure state government funding to support the major community event.

The society also hosts a concert on the second Sunday of each month at the Barwon Heads Anglican Church Hall. For more information, phone 5254 2580.

Barwon Heads Fine Music Society members Maggie Isom and Laurence Hodgkinson were supported by Barwon Heads Community Arts Garden volunteer Faye Connors (centre) with their open garden fundraiser.

Matt, Brendon and River had a great day out at the Bellarine Skate Series Grand Final.

Bellarine skate final THE MOST talented skaters in the region have showcased their skills at the Bellarine Peninsula Skate Series Grand Final, with Clifton Springs’ Jacob Hayes taking out the open category.

$646,000 boost for seniors SENIORS and people living with a disability in the Geelong and Bellarine electorates will receive an extra 7,400 hours of care and support, thanks to a $646,000 government funding boost.

Minister for Senior Victorians, Lisa Neville, said the funding was part of a joint Federal and State Government $18.5million funding boost that will enable older Victorians and people living with a disability across the state to continue living at home and remain connected with their local community.

Neville said that the funding will help many people stay at home rather than move prematurely into residential care.

“This funding will help those who want to remain independent in their own homes and communities, close to friends and family for as long as possible,” she said.

“Home and Community Care services

Neville said that through this new funding, the Geelong and Bellarine electorates would receive more than 7,400 extra hours of assistance and support.

“Barwon Health will receive $26,898 to boost the capacity of its important chronic wound management services, the City of Greater Geelong will receive $358,000 and the Borough of Queenscliffe $20,000 to support their services,” she said.

“The HACC funding boost will also provide 4,600 more hours of household assistance and 2,700 hours of additional allied additional support to carers through respite services.

“This programme is already making a significant difference to the lives of people in our community who need help with everyday living and this boost will fund more than 700 projects across Victoria.”

provide the practical assistance that many older Australians need to complete day-today tasks.

“The programme helps older people, people with a disability and their carers by providing services such as help with home maintenance and modification, transport, meals, personal care and allied health and nursing care.”

Member for Corangamite, Darren Cheeseman, said the Health and Community Care programme was delivering minor capital and recurrent funding to the Borough of Queenscliff and minor capital for Bellarine Community Health.

“The services provide the practical assistance that makes a real difference in the lives of the many older Australians who need some assistance with everyday tasks,” he said.

Enjoy the grumpy old men GEELONG’S happiest new musical show opens next week, featuring three grumpy old men!

The Grumpy Old Men’s Travelling Rock and Roll Laughter Show will open tomorrow the City Of Greater Geelong’s Morning Showtime series on the Bellarine Peninsula.

The brand-new Geelong-produced musical features Geelong’s three Grumpy Old Men – Bryan Eaton, Robert Trott and Colin Mockett.

They came together in 2008 – and have already presented three highly successful sell-out versions of their Grumpy monologue shows – including an

‘Erect Finger Awards Night’ for Victorian Seniors Festival 2009.

They’ve brought together a host of new material for the new show and for the first time they’re joined by ace guitarist Geoff Sinnbeck and glamour bassist Sandy Brady from The Drop Of A Hat band.

The two master musicians add a bright new dimension to the Grumpy trio’s sharp satire and laughter format.

So, complementing the gruff trio’s opinions, sketches, poems and skits they’ll be playing a raft of classic softrock songs.

As well as their happy music, the Grumpies promise plenty of laughter as

they point out the drawbacks of life from the perspective of a trio of articulate, eloquent, cynical entertainers who have survived the majority of the 20th century and now find themselves bemused, battered and bewildered in the first decade of the 21st century.

The Grumpy Old Men’s Travelling Rock and Roll Laughter Show opens the City of Greater Geelong’s 2010 Morning Showtime series in the Bellarine MultiArts Centre (Potato Shed) at Drysdale, 10.30am on Tuesday, April 20.

Tickets are on sale at all CoGG Customer Service Centres or at the Potato Shed.

Grants help tackle road safety SURF Coast and Bellarine Peninsula community and local government organisations have received more than $53,000 in grants to tackle road trauma in the community, State Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield, has announced.

Crutchfield said the local organisations – often at the heart of the community – were the perfect way to help maker their neighbourhoods safer places on the road.

“Community organisations are often best placed to identify opportunities to reduce road trauma in their neighbourhoods,” he said.

“I am thrilled that the TAC will provide support to Surf Coast Cycling Club, RoadSafe Barwon, Surf Coast Shire and City of Greater Geelong to help tackle road trauma.

“Awarded under Round 6 of the Transport Accident Commission’s (TAC) Community Road Safety Grants, the grants will assist in the development and implementation of a road safety and promotion programme focused on cyclist safety.

“Also funded is a pilot bike trailer and education programme in disadvantaged schools to determine feasibility for the development and implementation of an ongoing facility and programme.

“Following two recent cyclist fatalities the funding will assist in the development of a ‘code of conduct’ for cyclists and drivers, as well as reduce drink driving through the implementation of breath testing devices in licensed clubs and at community events.

“These project will help our area became safer and I congratulate the four organisations on their successful application.”

Community grants up for grabs

Bellarine girls Danita Zajac and Alexandra Kelloway have raised more than $2,500 for the Leukaemia Foundation through their brave efforts in last month’s World Greatest Shave.

Danita, of Wallington, and Alexandra, of Point Lonsdale, were assisted in their fundraising efforts by friends and family, including Danita’s mother, Louise, who armed herself with clippers for the shaving challenge.

COMMUNITY groups throughout the Surf Coast and Bellarine are being encouraged to apply for grants available under a Woolworths initiative.

Grants of up to $5,000 are available through the Fresh Food Kids Community Grants programme.

As part of its campaign to promote a healthy lifestyle for school-aged children, Woolworths and Safeway is looking for fresh ideas across food and nutrition, exercise and physical activity.

Last year more than 1,900 community groups were successful in receiving a Fresh Food Kids Community Grant.

“The community grants programme has been an outstanding success, with so many communities already developing fresh and innovative ideas and activities that promote a healthy lifestyle for children,” said Marty Hamnett, general manager supermarket operations for Woolworths.

“We are thrilled to be able to assist such groups achieve success.”

The purpose of the Fresh Food Kids programme is to send a positive and practical message about fresh food to children and their parents.

“Fresh Food Kids is the natural extension of our work with children and with the fresh food industry,” Hamnett said.

“Over the past 20 years we have worked with children’s hospitals around Australia and have raised in excess of $50million dollars to fund research, facilities and equipment.”

Applications for the grants opened last week and will close on May 2.

The online application form, as well as further information regarding the grant programme, can be found at www.woolworths.com.au

Shadow Minister for Public Transport & Shadow Minister for Roads

Setting the record straight

signs greater than 10m2 to be considered, and for council to review the appropriateness of existing signage rules in industrial zones.

In voting for the amendment I, in common, I believe, with other councillors, sought to retain protection against a commercial sign bonanza.

We have not backed down on initial conditions for the business park’s development; including offsets and screening from the Surf Coast Highway.

Whether ratepayers and residents of Torquay support the coming of Bunnings to Torquay or not, the reality is that the vote taken by council does not give planning approval to allow the entryway into Torquay to be despoiled by rampant commercial signage.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but it does not change the past.

The fact is that, while the vote on the Bunnings signage issue had to be considered in camera for legal reasons, it was an error that the decision, once taken, was not immediately brought out of camera.

A councillor brought this inadvertent error to light and council took steps to correct this at the earliest opportunity. There was never any intention to hide what had been decided.

I share with my fellow councillors a commitment to be active and vigilant to ensure that roadside planting of the industrial estate is a council priority and to avoid visual pollution from the highway as much as possible!

Councillors recognise the flood of concerns at the image of the Business Park, and that what is not wanted is in-your-face visual pollution on the way in or out of Torquay. If and when a planning application is received by council, from whomever, this community priority will not be ignored.

As a councillor I am very sensitive to environmental and aspect issues that the Bunnings signage decision has brought to the surface.

I believe that I share with my fellow councillors a commitment to outcomes that will protect the environment and visual characteristics of Torquay that we have all come to value and love.

Dear Editor, The level of interest in the possibility that Torquay might see Bunnings move into the Torquay Industrial Zone has been jaundiced by miss-information that needs to be addressed.

As a councillor who voted for the amendment in question, I reject any suggestion that in so doing I or any of my fellow councillors acted without integrity, due consideration or courage.

Letters to the editor and press reports have sown confusion by implying that council voted in ways that have exposed the site purchased by Bunnings, to the possible detriment of the visual gateway into Torquay.

Council’s vote was to lead the way towards more appropriate and clearer signage guidelines in Joe Remenyi industrial areas.

The amendment does nothing more than to allow Surf Coast Shire councillor

Is it time to return to the Shire of Bellarine?

Dear Editor, With the forthcoming state election due later this year, it is time to raise the issue of a separate Bellarine council in lieu of the existing arrangement?

This present situation was brought about by the ill-considered Kennett government amalgamation of part or the whole of eight local municipalities into one huge, unwieldy local government area – now the City of Greater Geelong (CoGG) – which is rapidly heading towards 300,000 people, but with a diverse range of concerns.

For far too long, Bellarine Peninsula ratepayers have been propping up the City of Greater Geelong, helping to pay for some of their much-publicised and very costly poor decision-making, while the Bellarine stagnates.

Currently we see CoGG resources being concentrated upon planning for Armstrong Creek. Why should the Bellarine be contributing towards this development, whilst so lacking in basic infrastructure and facilities for our local residents?

Despite this neglect, our area is regularly promoted and used by CoGG for tourism purposes.

Portarlington is a prime example of this, with poor roads, insufficient footpaths and inadequate drainage.

For a decade residents have put up with foreshore neglect, yet the town is constantly used for major triathlons and bike races, but lacks basic facilities such as clean, modern foreshore amenities. A poor man’s Lorne?

The Bellarine Peninsula has an existing permanent population of almost 50,000 residents (not including the many thousands of holiday home owners and other holiday visitors).

The permanent population is growing rapidly and likely to reach 70,000 within the next decade.

A separate council of this population size would rank among the largest local council areas in Victoria, particularly those outside the Melbourne metropolitan area.

For instance, this would be more than twice

the size of both the Surf Coast and the Bass Coast municipalities, and considerably larger than Warrnambool.

I believe that the political party which promotes the idea of a separate council for the Bellarine Peninsula in its platform for the forthcoming election will be well on the way to taking government later in 2010.

Peter Cowden Bellarine

Shire council stands condemned Dear Editor, Phillip West in his Letter to the Editor (April 6 edition) is spot on with his condemnation of Surf Coast Council over its decision to push ahead with the Jan Juc footpath special charge scheme.

Sadly, only councillor Simon Northeast actually toured the Jan Juc area and listened to the majority of ratepayers.

His fellow councillors have pushed on regardless of this and treated ratepayers with contempt and arrogance.

It is difficult to comprehend that a ‘community consultation’ process ignored the wishes of the majority of ratepayers opposed to any special charge being implemented.

The total Jan Juc community should not have to contribute to footpaths which are irrelevant to their needs, and they don’t want.

It seems council strategy is to ‘listen’, ignore, make a decision, and force ratepayers to go to VCAT to be heard.

VCAT is a time consuming, costly and difficult option for ratepayers.

One wonders what’s next from this council?

Maybe footpaths for all of Torquay, where streets are far busier and more congested than Jan Juc? Or Fairhaven and Aireys Inlet?

Stay tuned.

Make an educated choice PARENTS are encouraged to make an educated choice when selecting the primary school that will provide personalised opportunities for their children to learn and excel.

Clifton Springs Primary School is continuing to grow as one of the Bellarine’s leading educational facilities, expanding its curriculum to meet the needs of its future adults.

The picturesque rural school offers a range of unique learning experiences from the production and operation of their own radio station to an impressive leadership programme, in which students can develop a range of valuable skills.

With the support of principal, Brent Richards, and his highly experienced, caring staff, students are encouraged to be adaptive learners who can choose and use a range of skills and abilities to confidently solve problems throughout their lives. “Our school has that ‘just right size’ being small enough to ensure personal relationships between the students, staff and school community but large enough to offer an array of specialist subjects complimented by engagement, enrichment and extension programmes,� he said. “We have an ICT focus, including media teams who have various responsibilities around the school and a fully operational radio station. Interested students can be involved in presenting, script writing, technical production and can then be engaged to train other students. “In addition to delivering a quality core literacy and numeracy base, our school also offers an environmental programme, visual and performing arts and projects designed to connect the school and community. “Our strong physical education programme is complemented by school teams with students active in sports at community, state and national levels.�

Clifton Springs PS has also developed an innovative Prep programme that places students in a Year Prep/1 composite class where they are with the same teacher for two years. “It’s about understanding composite classes

and the advantages of enabling students, staff and parents to develop and maintain a depth in their relationship over two years,� Richards said. “Preps who are in a composite class settle in more quickly and are integrated into the school, class and in the playground, through the buddy programme.�

Time for a Turkish adventure

BY NATHAN HALE EUROPE has always proven a popular holiday destination for Australians, but one country that remains shrouded in mystery is Turkey.

Now, a Torquay resident is looking to debunk any myths about the country and its sprawling capital, Istanbul.

Rosie Richardson has spent the past two years living in the Turkish capital, working for a local tour company taking tours around the country.

Now back in Torquay, Richardson has tours to Turkey next month and in September. “I have two tours set down for next month and then two more for September,� Richardson said. “After that, I will make it one tour a year. “A lot of people still have the wrong impression about Istanbul and Turkey. I think a lot of people think of it as a Middle Eastern country and don’t realise how Westernised it is. “The people are very friendly and Aussies are always made welcome.�

Richardson was living in France when she first visited Turkey on a 10-day holiday. It was love at first site and she kept returning before eventually securing a job working as a tour leader.

Although she has now settled in Torquay, Richardson is hoping the tours will not only enable her to reacquaint herself with the country and its people, but also allow a host of Australians to explore an unknown land.

“Istanbul is a city of contradictions. There are mosques next door to nightclubs, grimy backstreets and state-of-the-art malls,â€? she said. “My favourite place to go in Istanbul is EminĂśnu at dusk. The light is fading, people are rushing to the ferries after work and buskers and kebab sellers are spruiking their wares. “Then the call to prayer comes out of all the nearby mosques – all at slightly different times and tunes.â€?

Apart from exploring Istanbul – the only city in the world that straddles two continents (Europe and Asia) – Richardson’s tour will also explore farreaching corners.

The tours will be of approximately eight guests, allowing Richardson to keep the experience personalised.

Tours will visit ancient sites, well-known locations and places off the beaten track, with the highlight a cruise on the sparkling Mediterranean Sea on a ‘Gulet’, a hand-crafted, traditional wooden boat.

Guests will experience the flavours and colour of the Spice Bazaar in Istanbul, stay in a local Mediterranean village, explore the ancient city of Ephesus, experience the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia and pay homage to ancestors at Anzac Cove, Gallipoli.

It’s time for morning tea CANCER Council Victoria is urging all Surf Coast and Bellarine residents to help tip the balance in the fight against cancer by taking part in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea next month.

Now celebrating its 17th year, Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a fun and easy way to catch up with friends, family, colleagues and neighbours and raise much needed funds for Cancer Council Victoria.

Last year, 26 Surf Coast hosts and their guests banded together to raise $7,500 despite the trying economic climate.

This year, more than 500,000 Victorians are expected to raise $2.2million towards Cancer Council’s lifesaving cancer research, prevention programs and support services for people affected by cancer.

Cancer Council Victoria spokesperson, Louise Hollaway, said Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a great way to show your support for locals facing cancer and to make a tangible difference to their cancer fight. “May is the perfect excuse to get together with friends and colleagues and make a real difference to people facing cancer throughout the state,� she said.

Simply register as a host, set a date in May and invite your friends. In return, your guests make a donation to Cancer Council.

While the official date is Thursday, May 27, events can be held anytime during the month.

By taking part in Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea this year, both guests and hosts have the chance to win some great holiday prizes.

For more information or to register, visit www.biggestmorningtea.com.au or call 1300 656 585.

PERSONAL trainer, Raissa Corbett, has taken her five years of army training and fitness techniques to develop personalised programmes – with great results. “I draw the hard line and my clients follow the guidelines, so they get the results. I have tried offering different programmes and not locking clients into a contract but I find most people need to be held accountable and a lot of businesses don’t offer that,� she said. “I have had a really good response and a really high success rate.�

Corbett specialises in one-on-one training, over a 12-week programme and a minimum of two sessions a week. “After the initial 12-week programme, we then reassess the training sessions and in some cases, clients are more confident to keep going on their own and reduce the number of set sessions.�

The broad training programme involves regular body measurement, diet management including calorie control, lifestyle and goal setting, accompanied by a range of exercise including boxercise and circuits. “At least 70 per cent of my business is weight loss and programmes are tailored for all ages, from teenagers to seniors. I am also qualified in pre- and post-natal exercise,� she said.

Corbett is Torquay-based and offers a mobile service from Anglesea to Ocean Grove, with most training designed for outdoors.

For more information on reaching your goals with personal trainer, Raissa Corbett, phone 0411 826 530.

Support helps provide solutions EXPERIENCED counsellor and psychotherapist, Christine Meehan, is providing important support for Bellarine people who want to change their life situations and behaviour.

Specialising in therapy for couples, families and individuals, including ante- and post-natal depression, Meehan is now practising in Point Lonsdale and Leopold to assist local people find solutions. “I have been in Point Lonsdale for more than two years and after counselling in Melbourne for many years, I felt it was time to establish my own practice here on the Bellarine,� she said. “Psychotherapy is for people who want to change situations and life behavioural patterns. “A couple might be experiencing difficulties in their relationship and together we would explore patterns of interaction that are creating problems. “Together we would explore how these difficulties have arisen. For example, developed negative patterns of interaction could have originated from family of origin experiences, past emotional suffering or traumatic experiences. “After listening to the client’s story, I would ascertain aims and goals that the client would like to gain from the

Christine Meehan is providing a counselling service for couples and individuals at Point Lonsdale and Leopold.

counselling experience. My work would then involve developing a treatment plan for the client. “At various times throughout the therapy we will summarise and reflect on how the process of counselling is progressing. “Together we would develop skills

and strategies to establish patterns of interaction that are more suitable for the clients now. “This includes tapping into the client’s resilience and resources that have worked effectively for them in the past.�

Meehan is able to use the same

proven process to assist people who are experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, life stage difficulties, grief and loss or self esteem issues.

Meehan has many years experience of treating women, partners and families who are affected by the birth of a baby which may bring on symptoms of anxiety and depression.

She has a strong appreciation of how the transitional stage into parenting can provide difficulties for a couple. Sometimes these issues are not acknowledged with the birth of the first baby and ongoing negative patterns of behaviour can be entrenched in individuals and within the couple’s relationship. “As the therapist I use various approaches based on the therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist to develop a personal treatment plan specific to each client’s needs,� she said.

Meehan uses her genuineness, empathy and respect for her clients to empower them with confidence as they learn how to change their lives in a positive way.

For further information or to arrange a convenient appointment in Leopold or Point Lonsdale, phone Christine Meehan on 0438 094 898.

Grand markets, enchanting cities and wonderful waterways

Explore the islands WELCOME to the autumn edition of travel talk.

I hope everyone enjoyed the Easter break and are all looking forward to travelling again sometime soon.

There are some wonderful and exciting travelling experiences to be enjoyed on our doorstep. We are fortunate to have international destinations only three or four hours away.

Perhaps you are looking for something completely different? Wanting that holiday getaway but don’t have much time?

Then maybe a short stay holiday to majestic New Zealand or a tropical holiday to Vanuatu aboard the luxurious small ship Island Passage is what you are looking for.

Island Passage is a beautifully appointed 45-metre five-star ship that spends the summer months cruising Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf in the

north island of New Zealand.

The ship can cater for up to 10 couples, or can do a group trip of passengers just wanting to enjoy fishing for New Zealand’s kingfish and snapper.

Guests can comfortably fish from the three large tenders, where all the fishing tackle is supplied. The couples trips are also a huge draw card to the Island Passage. Guests can spend up to four hours a day fishing while partners or non-fishos can spend their time visiting local island wineries, snorkelling, swimming with dolphins, sea kayaking, or even exploring in the ships five seater helicopter. Or perhaps just sit and relax in the lounge or spacious outdoor living area.

During the winter months or from May to September each year the Island Passage

makes her way to the tropical island paradise of Vanuatu.

Enjoy cruising the outer islands of Vanuatu aboard the 500 tonnes of sheer luxury. You might think you know tropical island scenery like the back of your hand, but if you haven’t yet journeyed around the islands of Vanuatu in the western Pacific then there is much to learn. The landscapes are multi-layered, like somebody’s superimposed one tropical paradise over the top of another.

The rugged mystery of the high volcanic terrain shrouded with jungle tugs at your spirit of adventure, while the sublime turquoise and white of the beaches satisfies your hedonistic urge to find perfect paradise.

Once again the beautiful Island Passage caters for groups just wanting to go fishing in

this game and light sport tackle Mecca, or for groups wanting to spoil themselves in luxury with scenery, snorkelling or incredible island culture.

You can view the spectacular ‘land diving’ on Pentecost Island, Vanuatu’s idea of bungy jumping!

Carol and Glenn will be hosting a trip aboard Island Passage to Vanuatu in May 2011.

If anyone is interested, pop in and see Carol at the Drysdale office and find out how you can enjoy this magnificent adventure on a five-star vessel at an economy price.

Please feel free to call in and chat to any of our professional and well travelled consultants and let us help you plan your trip of a lifetime.

Happy and safe travels.

Industry Info A fresh look at real estate TORQUAY’S Scott Hunt has recently been appointed as property consultant to the BFP Bruce Falk Property Team.

Hunt brings with him more than 17 years experience in sales and marketing, including extensive experience working for real estate agencies across Australia.

He was a national manager for Australia’s largest real estate printing and marketing company for more than two years and also owned his own design and marketing agency for six years in Perth, where he managed the marketing needs for a number of highly respected agencies. “Over the years I’ve seen the best and the worst of real estate marketing,� he said. “I have stored the best of it away for the day when I could put it into practice as an agent myself.�

Scott sold his Perth marketing agency last year and moved to Torquay with his wife and daughter to be closer to their extended family.

Settling straight in, Hunt has become a part of the community fabric, sitting on the board of management of the Torquay Bowls Club as director of marketing and sponsorship. He is also a part of the Bellbrae Primary School community and manages a community news and events website.

Hunt is pleased to represent BFP in the Torquay and Jan Juc region. He has known Bruce Falk as a client and a friend for many years and believes their styles are well suited.

Hunt is confident the personalised approach to real estate sales and marketing that marks BFP’s point of difference will be a welcomed addition to the local industry. “Bruce and his team have proven time and time again to get outstanding results for their vendors,�

By Enzo Raimondo, CEO REIV

National award winners

he said. “Some of the properties Bruce has listed, like Spray Farm on the Bellarine Peninsula, are incredibly impressive properties and every time Bruce gets the results the vendors are looking for. “Bruce can be a little more traditional is his approach, while I tend to look toward modern methods of marketing. “However, we both understand the power of the internet in modern real estate marketing and we will work together very well as a team.�

LATE last month the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) recognised the most outstanding practitioners in the real estate profession at the National Awards for Excellence in Adelaide.

The awards recognise the best that Australian real estate has to offer and follow awards in each state and territory.

Winners of the Victoria Awards for Excellence were considered in each award and were well represented.

Robyn Waters of Get Robyn was the joint winner of the President’s Award. Robyn won the Victorian President’s award for her service to the profession and the community.

Nelson Alexander won the Community Service Award for their Charitable Foundation.

The foundation is operated by Nelson Alexander employees who contribute their time to helping their local community. Each year, local causes are identified and fundraisers set up to generate revenue for these causes.

Some staff also donate their time.

The winner of the Victorian award for Buyer’s Agent of the Year and medium-sized Residential Agency of the Year, Frank Valentic, of Advantage Property Consulting, won the national Buyer’s Agent of the Year award.

The number and role of buyer’s agents has grown over the last decade in Victoria as the service becomes more popular.

Karli Dunham of JustBusinessBrokers.com won the award for Business Broker of the Year.

Business brokers, the licensed estate agents who act as agents in the buying and selling of businesses, are a sector of the profession not often in the media but who provide a valuable service in our community.

Industry Info

First sales office at Armstrong Creek ARMSTRONG Creek’s first sales office opened its doors earlier this month in a significant step for the budding new community.

Warralily is the first residential precinct to open its doors to the public, with the office giving both locals and holiday makers the opportunity to find out more about the development and register their interest in readiness for the land sales release.

The opening marks an exciting step for the wider Armstrong Creek development, which has been more than two decades in the making.

Located between Geelong and Torquay, the master planned suburb will be Australia’s fifth largest ongoing residential development –

eventually becoming home to around 60,000 new residents by its completion.

The prime location of Warralily – the very first residential master-planned community to be released to market – will offer the much sought-after coastal lifestyle with the benefits and convenience of city living.

Residents will be just a 10 minute drive from Torquay’s famous beaches, the award winning wineries on the Bellarine, Geelong’s evolving CBD and waterfront as well as the new Ring Road to Melbourne.

Matthew Dean, Warralily development manager, said the opening of the sales office will give people the chance to better understand how the new

community will look and what it offers those hoping to live there. “All the plans are in place to build a sustainable community; it goes beyond just building houses,� he said. “Walking and cycling trials will link residential areas to parks, shops and community facilities such as the new schools, meaning residents will be able to leave the car at home.�

Warralily and the wider Armstrong Creek development answers the need for developable land and capitalises on the growing trend of people seeking a sea change lifestyle, making it one of the most important growth fronts in the country.

Armstrong Creek will also set new benchmarks in best practice urban development to create a sustainable community.

The Warralily development has had the full support of all levels of government and is in the final stages of a comprehensive planning process.

A formal sales launch is set to take place in coming months, and interested buyers should act now to register their details in order to stay up to date with Warralily launch dates.

For more information, visit the new Warralily Sales Office, located at 259 Charlemont Road, Connewarre, phone 1300 661 719 or visit www. warralily.com.au

Metricon supports local umpires METRICON has announced that it has extended its sponsorship of the Geelong Football Umpires League for this season.

The agreement continues the partnership, which began in 2006, and will see all umpires throughout the Bellarine Football League, Geelong and District Football League and Geelong Junior Football League under the Metricon sponsorship.

Metricon’s regional west sales and marketing manager, Simon Lofts, said that over the last few years Metricon has built a strong affiliation with the

league. “We are pleased to be a major sponsor of such a fabulous sporting organisation,� Lofts said. “The new agreement we have signed this year is a reflection of our continuing commitment to being part of the local community in which we operate. “Since we commenced business in the area, we have established solid and lasting relationships with the local Geelong community. “This includes supporting community

organisations and recruiting local staff, suppliers and tradespeople whenever we can.�

Bill Fulton, general manager for the league, said he was thrilled Metricon has decided to come on board for another two years, giving the league an opportunity to focus on training and developing local umpires, rather than financial concerns. “The umpires league is a non-profit organisation, so any sponsorship we receive is a real bonus for local umpiring,� Fulton said.

“Metricon has established itself as a fabulous builder in the area and with plans for further expansion, our league provides an excellent medium for Metricon’s exposure. “We are the biggest country umpires league in Victoria with an annual average membership of over 300. “Our umpires are out on the field every weekend, umpiring in excess of 100 games which not only covers Geelong and the surrounding district, but extends to Werribee and Colac.�

WRECK OF THE ‘JOSEPH H SCAMMELL’: Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 The fact that the vessel was in danger was first noticed by a fisherman named Felix Rosser, at about 11 o’clock in the night. He had just been attending to some lobster pots, in Zeally Bay, and when returning home to supper, saw the out-line of a dark mass close up to the shore. He at once surmised that it was a ship, which in some way got out of her course, and said to his wife “ Why here’s a vessel in where she ought not to be� He had scarcely uttered the words when a torch light flashed across the angry sea, then he observed a red light shining at the mast-head of the vessel. He could not immediately do anything in response to the signals of distress that continued to be exhibited, but at 2am that morning, taking advantage of an interval of calm, put off in his fishing boat and rowed to within 300 yards of the wreck. Owing to the surf about the vessel, he could not approach further, but called out to those on board informing them of their position. He also pointed out the impossibility of anything being done to get away from the wreck, until the morning.

Does your builder offer a 100% Building Ethics Australia guarantee?

Building Ethics Australia (BEA) was formed in 2001 after the HIH collapse. The turmoil that followed was the catalyst for the founders of BEA to implement a system for the building industry that promotes fairness, ethical behaviour and aspires to enhance the image of the building industry.

BEA’s goal is to allow reputable builders to trade unhindered and enable homeowners to have their homes built with the peace of mind of knowing their builder is prepared to stand his work up to the independent scrutiny of BEA. Michael Dahm of Blue Cove Homes believes so passionately in the programme that he was 100% confident his building practices would conform to the rigorous criteria. He is one of the few Geelong builders to have BEA accreditation.

The BEA programme ensures building standards are high and builders and homeowners alike are treated fairly. This recipe builds confidence in the industry.

BEA’s quality assurance programme provides the highest level of consumer protection in the industry today. How? Simply, accredited builders subject themselves to critical independent site inspections during the construction of your home at progress payment stages.

Importantly, when you appoint a BEA accredited builder, you only make progress payments after having received a BEA authority to pay certificate.

This confirms that an independent inspection has been carried out prior to every progress payment stage, verifying all aspects of your building project.

To find our more and to receive your copy of the building ethics guarantee, contact Blue Cove Homes on 1300 858 228 or e-mail office@ bluecovehomes.com.au

Kirkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lucky break

BY NATHAN HALE

Kirk is already planning his next move â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which includes a tour of Western Australia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and possibly an international sojourn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been gigging all over Victoria and have been up to the north coast of New South Wales and I am just heading back to Melbourne,â&#x20AC;? Kirk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sold over 1,200 CDs from the 35 shows, so it was a good tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been pretty busy with gigs, but I am always looking to book more and I would like to go over to Western Australia and playâ&#x20AC;Ś maybe even overseas.â&#x20AC;?

Having played at Left off the Rocks previously, Kirk knows what to expect at the popular venue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty good, chilled out crowd at Left off the Rocks, so I am looking forward to getting down there,â&#x20AC;? Kirk said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be playing mainly originals. I will do a few covers, but I like to do covers that people havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really heard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That way it is like you are playing originals and you really have to sell the songs to people because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know them.â&#x20AC;?

Starting out with a folk feel to his music, Kirk has evolved into more of a blue/roots artist, and has enjoyed great success.

FANS of Shaun Kirk have a badly broken ankle to thank for the talented Melbourne performer turning his hand to music.

At the age of 16 Kirk had no real interest in pursuing a musical career; he was your typical teenager who loved his sport.

That all changed one day when he broke his ankle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; forcing him from the sporting arena for an extended period of time.

With so much spare time on his hands, Kirk picked up a guitar and the rest, as they say, is history.

Now, six years on, Kirk has just finished his first national tour and will be playing Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Left off the Rocks this Friday and the Blues Train on the Bellarine on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty big on sport when I was a teenager,â&#x20AC;? the 22-year-old said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I broke the ankle and I was on crutches for three months and that kind of forced me to play the guitar a bit and I even wrote a few songs and it went from there.â&#x20AC;?

That bit of musical inspiration was the first time Kirk has explored his artistic side since he was a toddler. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was young I used to do impersonations of Michael Jackson,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was my first musical expressionâ&#x20AC;Ś and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really come out again until I was 16.â&#x20AC;?

Although he admits to still learning and evolving as a musician, Kirkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rise to prominence has been impressive.

Within the space of just six years he has gone from playing local gigs around Melbourne to launching a CD and non-stop touring.

Not one to sit back and rest on his success,

GRAPEVINE } Jon Helmer Queen of the West BROUGHT TO YOU BY

TORQUAY HOTEL

CORKS CREW CELLARS

AS MOST wine lovers would be well aware, Margaret River in Western Australia is one of our premium winegrowing regions, much famed for the outstanding quality of its Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons.

One of the most highly regarded producers of the region – Cullen Wines – also produces what I consider to be one of the best reds in Australia – the ‘Diana Madeline’ Cabernet Merlot.

I first came under this wine’s spell way back in the early 1990s, around the time when the 1992 vintage was released.

Obviously, it was much cheaper then ($35-ish?), and always on allocation. I remember the excitement of the glorious 1994 and 1995 vintages when they were released and (thankfully) I duly put some aside for a rainy day.

Over the ensuing years, I would pull one out now and then if the occasion arose, and every time the wines reinforced my respect and admiration for this red as they all showed those distinct Cullen characters of sublime dark fruit flavours, with layer upon layer of complexity, richness, depth, and concentration that make them so highly prized and sought after.

And so, early in March I opened my last bottle – the 1995 vintage.

Once again, it showed all the dash and style I was accustomed to with surprisingly vibrant fruit flavours still evident but obviously less so as the bottle aged complexities and softness held sway.

The reason why I bore you with all this reflective self indulgence is because the current 2007 is a cracker!

Even their press release states it is one of the greatest ‘Diana Madeline’s’ yet released as the 2007 vintage in Margaret River was simply outstanding for red varieties in particular.

Cullen’s wines are also benefited by the use of biodynamic principals and practices in their viticultural and winery processes, thus ensuring premium quality fruit.

Combine this with excellent vintage conditions, one of Australia’s top winemakers in Vanya Cullen, and the results speak for themselves – a truly exceptional Australian red wine.

Calling all local bookworms TORQUAY’S Froth and Bubble Literary Festival is calling on all members of book clubs to come forward.

The festival, which will be held on the weekend of June 19 and 20 this year, is looking to involve as many local people interested in literature as possible.

Festival organiser, John Adams, said he was aware of some book clubs in the Torquay area, but said there were many more that could play a vital part in the success of the festival.

“The last two years we haven’t been able to pick people out who may be involved in book clubs or groups, because a lot of them are private clubs who meet in people’s homes,” Adams said.

“At our last meeting it was mentioned that there are a lot of people in clubs, but they are very hard to get together because a lot of them hold their clubs at home.

“So we are really looking for anyone who might be interested in becoming involved in any capacity in the Froth and Bubble Festival.”

The festival is looking to expand further this year, and Adams is keen to explore the idea of having a ‘living library’ over the weekend.

The library works by people volunteering to be a ‘human book’, where they will be in the library and members of the public can come up to them and ask them questions.

The ‘books’ can be about the person’s favourite subject, and members of the public would ask

questions about the ‘book’ and the author.

“It is an idea we are thinking about, but we would need people to come forward and take part,” Adams said.

“And once we have the books, we would then need people to come up and ask questions to interact with the living library.”

Another new addition to this year’s festival is a short story and poetry competition.

The competition will this year have a theme of surf or surfing.

Adams said the theme can be widely interpreted and is open to all ages.

The local branch of Rural Australians For Refugees will also be presenting literature from refugees on the Sunday afternoon. The theme for their presentation is ‘kindness’.

They are inviting authors to read their stories and stories of others about the experiences before and after arriving here from conflicts and hardships overseas.

The festival will also hold its dinner at Bomboras on the Saturday evening. The night will start at 6.30pm and bookings are essential. Phone Bomboras on 5264 7881 to secure your place at the table.

If anyone is interested in becoming involved in the Froth and Bubble Festival, or for more information, phone John Adams on 5261 2899, email frothnbubble@torquay.vic.au or visit http://torquayfrothandbubbleliteraryfestival. com/competitionx.html

our view

Cullen Margaret River ‘Diana Madeline’ Cabernet Merlot 2007 ($105)

As to be expected, this shows lovely concentration. The signature blackcurrant richness of this great wine is evident, alongside layers of plums, dark ‘fruits of the forest’ complexities, mulberries, savoury nuances and spice.

At this early stage of its life, the wine is still pretty primary, however, the all-important factors are there – structure, varietal character, fine grippy tannins etc. – which suggest the wine will develop beautifully over the long term.

The oak is always ‘right’ – never too little or too much – and the finish shows exemplary length and depth of flavour.

This is Australian fine wine royalty at its very best.

Sardines: Small fish with a big taste HAVE you reeled back from the queues leading up to the fish shop on the two days preceding Good Friday?

Easter is definitely a time when we all seem to feature fish in our meals. But donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow your zeal for eating fish to end with Easter!

Oh no! Make a pact with yourself to include fish several times a week in your family meals.

Small fish with a big taste and heaps of health benefits are sardines. Yuk! I hear you say, remindful of somewhat smelly sandwiches your mum might have packed in your school lunch?

Well, for anyone who has scooped up a cheap feed of lovely fresh sardines you will know that you can have a mightily nutritious meal in moments. A few dollars will buy enough fresh sardines to barbecue for the family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even better than a sausage sizzle â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with basically no fat and lots of vitamins.

As sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, they are great for your heart, and the high iron, vitamin D and potassium content make them a rich source of calcium.

Recently Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve enjoyed whitebait, even smaller than sardines and so simple to prepare as you only need to rinse them, drain on kitchen paper, toss them in seasoned flour, shake off the excess flour, and shallow-fry quickly in small batches of hot canola oil.

Served on a bed of rocket leaves with wedges of lemon, these are a stunning appetizer for dinner, or you could present a large platter of these tiny fish when next entertaining family or friends.

It is very easy to fillet sardines, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen them already â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;butterfliedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; out, sans heads, their silver-blue colours are alluring and because of their natural oils they are simply perfect for the barbecue or grilled over hot coals.

They only require one to two minutes cooking each side. In fact, the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;overcookingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of any fish is probably a fairly common fault and the resulting dry fish is generally what puts people off the idea of cooking fish at home.

So when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cooking fish, err on the under-done side... remembering that the fish will continue to cook for a few moments in its own

heat once removed from the heat source. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be amazed at how little time it takes to steam a whole fish.

One thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not good at is rigging up a fishing line; hence my option is always to visit my favourite local seafood supplier and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually only when I actually see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on offer that I make a decision as to what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll choose â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and there is always so much to choose from.

Talk to your fishmonger and seek advice on best buys â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they can usually offer some cooking suggestions and once again, be a bit daring and try something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not had before.

But back to the small fish! The sardines on display in the shop appealed to me and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to barbecue them and assemble a nicoise-style salad, replacing the usual tuna with the sardines.

Cos lettuce Blanched green beans A few fully ripe tomatoes (perhaps tiny cherry tomatoes) Some hard-boiled egg (use quail eggs to keep this dish down to scale) A little finely sliced Spanish onion Pitted, sliced black olives Steamed waxy potatoes can also be used.

Sardine nicoise salad

Method Simply assemble the salad using the various ingredients, by layering and building. Drizzle just prior to serving with a dressing made from some homemade mayonnaise to which you have added some very finely chopped anchovies, or a little preserved lemon*.

While these late autumn days are still quite balmy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still time to enjoy a salad such as thisâ&#x20AC;Ś and then sneak up on the bigger fish soon.

Ingredients For the salad nicoise

*I like to use Thomy mayo, or Cardiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Caesar Dressing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both available at the supermarket.

NEW CHEF & NEW MENU

TIME is running out to see Geelong Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Art unlimited selected works 2010 exhibition.

The selection of works from the Art unlimited studio â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an access studio for artists with a disability â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reflects the strengths and diversity of the studioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artists and closes on Sunday, April 18. The works reveal the unique perception these artists have of the world.

The paintings, drawings and sculptures currently on display by 14 studio artists are examples of the genre known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Outsider Artâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: a term applied to those artists who work independently of established art traditions or style constraints.

Outsider Art is currently enjoying a growth in interest and the attention of art lovers and critics and has become sought after by collectors, both locally and internationally.

Artists attending the Art unlimited studio work in professional studio facilities located at the Old Geelong Gaol with the support of qualified practicing artists.

They are given full autonomy over the nature and subject matter of their work and are provided with the opportunity to work across a wide range of medium, including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, woodwork and electronic media.

exhibitions of works from the Art unlimited studio in 2003, 2005 and 2007.

Art unlimited is a division of St Laurence Community Services. For more information, visit www.artunlimited.org.au Meanwhile, the gallery also has the Brookesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Photographic Union exhibition, which will remain on display until May 16.

Drawn from the galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent collection, this selection of late-19th century photographs of Geelong and the region form part of a photographic folio of images of western Victoria gifted to the gallery by FE Richardson (gallery president from 1946 to 1963).

Dating to 1891, the photographs on display record the natural and built environments of western Victoria with images of the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stunning coastline and notable geological features such as Eagle Rock and the Loch Ard Inlet.

Also featured are the picturesque beauty of the rivers, waterfalls and forests of inland areas, including the Aire River and Barwon River, the Phantom Falls on St Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s River and Beech Forest.

Additional images capture the growth of the townships of Geelong and Queenscliff, the bayside retreat of Clifton Springs and the Portland Harbour,

Airplane 2009 is part of the Art unlimited â&#x20AC;&#x201C; selected works 2010 exhibition.

while engineering achievements such as the Winchelsea Bridge and the Moorabool Viaduct are similarly documented.

A large number of the 27 works selected for exhibition will be on display for the first time.

The original folio, of almost 50 albumen silver photographs of western Victoria taken

by Brookesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Photographic Union, was issued as a companion to an earlier volume Gippsland through the camera.

Take the hassles out of holidays

BY NATHAN HALE FINDING the ideal holiday accommodation can often prove troublesome; finding the perfect food to accompany the getaway even moreso.

Enter Holly Evans from Provisions by Holly.

The Aireys Inlet-based business covers the majority of the Surf Coast Shire â&#x20AC;&#x201C; providing fresh and often locally sourced produce to the doors of holiday homes, private homes and self-contained cottages.

Holiday-makers can choose between two customised packs designed to make your getaway a bit more indulgent and a lot more convenient.

Packs can include freshly-laid country eggs, organic, hearthbaked bread, award-winning cheese and many more delectable goodies as well as the essentials â&#x20AC;&#x201C; such as milk, butter, sugar, tea, and coffee â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all delivered before check-in time on the morning of your arrival.

Evans, who moved from Melbourne two years ago, said the idea for the business came about from making late-night trips up and down the Great Ocean Road as there is no after-hours convenience store in Aireys Inlet. She also noted there was no other business in the area supplying fresh produce.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had driven through Aireys Inlet but never really visited properly until I moved down here in 2008,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I realised there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a store open late at night to pop to and get something, and I also found that there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anyone supplying holiday homes and cottages with fresh supplies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a gap in the market to supply quality, fine food to holiday homes and self-contained cottages throughout the area.â&#x20AC;?

Evans has linked up with local holiday and accommodation providers throughout the region, and has just enjoyed a busy summer and Easter holiday season.

She was quick, however, to reinforce that the supply of fresh produce doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be limited to holiday-makers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The packages we supply can make a great gift for friends celebrating a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary or just as a well-received surprise for an over-worked partner,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The packages can be selected online at the website and delivery booked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I deliver from Torquay right down to Lorne and all of the produce is sourced, where possible, from local people.â&#x20AC;?

Blues on the Horizon RISING local guitar star Mattski will launch his second album, Horizon For A Friend, as part of a benefit concert to support Rainbow Riders.

Mattski will play three sets of the righteous blues and roots for which heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becoming renowned at the Deck Restaurant in Highton, with gold coin donations, musicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s payment and a portion of CD sales supporting Rainbow Riders.

The show starts from 4pm at The Deck Restaurant on Sunday.

Rainbow Riders is an equineassisted growth and learning centre that runs day programmes for disadvantaged young people in the Geelong region â&#x20AC;&#x201C; helping to improve self-esteem, peer and family relationships and social skills.

Mattski is pleased to support the cause through this show, a threehour exercise in funky, stomping, grooving and reflective blues and roots.

taken his tunes from Geelong to Adelaide, Melbourne, the Surf Coast and Mildura, with great responses to his passionate and energetic live shows.

He has also been a regular at Torquayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cowrie Market, played the High Tide Festival and Aireys Inlet Festival of Words last year and was part of the hugely successful Aireys Inlet Open Mic Festival in March. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great thrill travelling to the Adelaide Fringe Festival and playing in Melbourne at venues like the Rainbow Hotel in Fitzroy, meeting new people and sharing my music,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always nice to come home and play a really warm venue like The Deck in support of a great cause.â&#x20AC;?

For more information on Mattski or to hear some of his music, visit www.myspace.com/ mattskimuzak or www.mattski. com.au

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to do something special to launch an album youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked hard on for a long time, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to support a great local cause through this event,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing music to people is a great privilege, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to be able to not only give on stage, but to give something back in this way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Music is in many ways about working through difficulties in life, which is what Rainbow Riders helps young people do.â&#x20AC;?

Horizon For A Friend is a 13-track release that refines Mattskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s formula of great hooks, searing solos, deep grooves and thought-provoking lyrics.

Recorded in his childhood bedroom in Geelong over a fortnight late last year, the album is the product of another prolific year of songwriting following on from Mattskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debut release, Ramshackle Beach.

Over the last year, Mattski has

Take a step back in time HISTORICAL Barwon Grange will come alive with the sights and sounds of the 1850s this Sunday as it hosts a fair as part of Geelong’s Heritage Festival.

Built in 1855, Barwon Grange is a heritage house overlooking the Barwon River.

The fair will be a family friendly event, with children’s activities including old fashioned games of croquet, potato sack races, quoits, hooky and egg and spoon races. There will be pony rides, farm yard animals, as well as a fairy dell and wishing well.

Other activities include a Barwon Grange antiques road show, garden attractions such as water conservation and composting (which is part of the World Heritage Day Agriculture) and genealogy and family tree information.

Special displays will be held by the Barwon Valley Wood rights and Wathaurong

Aboriginal Co-operative.

Entertainment on the day will include a historical play and 1850s fashion parade by volunteers at Barwon Grange, as well as tours of the property.

A raffle will be drawn on the day with prizes contributed from the local community, with first prize a water colour by local artist and 2009 Victorian Artist of the Year, Amanda Hyatt.

There will be stalls on the day by the National Trust of Australia, the Red Cross and many more, as well as traditional 1850s Devonshire teas, lemonade, cake and craft stalls.

The fair will be held at Barwon Grange, 25 Fernleigh Street, Newtown, from 10am5pm and entry will be via a gold coin donation.

Festival time at Deans Marsh THE EVER-POPULAR Deans Marsh Pioneer Festival will be held this Sunday.

The event – to be held from 10am-4pm – is again expected to draw a large crowd from around the Surf Coast and surrounding areas.

The festival has been a key event in the Deans Marsh community calendar for the past 11 years and evolved from the Deans Marsh Gymkana, with the event bringing all community groups in the town together.

Apart from being a community event, the festival has also acted as a key fundraiser for the community and enabled many projects to happen.

The theme of this year’s festival – Pioneering into the Future – was chosen to highlight the concept of a sustainable community.

At the festival you will be able to taste and purchase local produce, learn how to build a chicken run, be entertained by the roving

You can also become informed and inspired about all things recycling – water, energy, transport and food.

Highlights of this year’s festival include the Future Spark Bike Power trailer, which aims to inspire people to reduce their energy use and join in an experience of collective action by generating power, information and talks on transition towns, exhibitions of local arts and crafts and storytelling from the Wathaurong Aboriginal Co-operative.

Pioneer Festival favourites including displays of historical items, the running of the Deans Marsh Gift and the Eureka Tent are also part of the day.

SURF COAST IT

COMPUTERS can often seem as though they provide a minefield of problems, but Rodney Remmos from Surf Coast IT is able to help with any technical problems â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from faulty printers to internet connection woes.

Remmos started his business nine years ago, when he saw a need for IT help in the Surf Coast community.

His business has grown to where he now looks after many computer networks for local businesses and schools, as well as private clients.

With such rapid advances in technology since he started, the father of four has found the best way to keep updated is through training courses,

WARDROBE WORKS

reading and using the internet to research technicalities.

According to Remmos, the best way to keep your computer working efficiently is to ensure it is serviced regularly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Computers are like cars. They need to be serviced due to things like viruses and dust build up,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Remmos is also able to help with new and second-hand computer sales, on-site repairs and services, as well as internet connection installations.

For more information, phone Surf Coast IT on 5261 4948 or email rodr@geelong.hotkey. net.au

trades & classifieds

WARDROBE Works is a division of Robinsons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a company that has existed locally since 1946.

Wardrobe Works, however, is only three years old.

Directors Lee and Nigel Robinson are the second generation owners of the business and now Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Rhys, works with the team.

Wardrobe Works specialises in walk-in robes, Murphy beds, reach-ins, wall hung systems, wardrobe accessories and kids rooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our wardrobe systems are an up-market and wall mounted system,â&#x20AC;? said Rhys. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nothing on the Australian market like it. It has everything and all different areas to put stuff. It is all about storage solutions and

space saving.â&#x20AC;?

According to Erika Madzar, sales and design co-ordinator, customers are often thrilled with how it changes their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, when I talk to customers itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about organising their lives. They say they feel so more organised as it creates storage in small and large places. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We create practical environments for extra storage for clients. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organising storage.

The products are also Australian made and manufactured.â&#x20AC;?

Parks Victoria is committed to protecting and enhancing the natural values of parks and reserves across the state. Examples of this conservation management are the control of introduced plant and animal species which can impact on these values.

As part of an ongoing strategy notice is hereby given that Parks Victoria will be laying buried baits containing Sodium Monofluoroacetate (1080 poison) on public land for the control of foxes. Baits containing 1080 poison will be laid from Monday 12 April 2010 to Wednesday 12 May 2010.

Baits will be laid at strategic sites and other known areas of fox habitat within the parish of Connewarre.

1080 poison signs will be posted throughout the baited area and members of the public who are living, visiting or working in the above named parish are advised to take particular care not to disturb or interfere with bait stations. Domestic dogs and cats are particularly susceptible to 1080 poison and should be under effective control, muzzled or kept away from the poisoned areas.

Operational details may be obtained from Catherine James by calling Parks Victoria on 13 1963.

APR 13 - APR 19 2010 Have you been burning the midnight oil? The New Moon encourages you to lift your nose from the career grindstone and enjoy the comforts of casa Capricorn, and the company of loved ones. It’s also the perfect time for a domestic makeover (and it’s doubly important to tweak the feng shui if you work from home).

With the New Moon in gung-ho Aries, it’s the best week of the year to initiate projects and turn dreams into action. You are famous for lacking follow-through so make sure your fiery enthusiasm is tempered with discipline, application and persistence. As Plato reminds us “The beginning is the most important part of the work.”

The New Moon falls in your career zone so stop side-stepping problems (and people) at work and start facing them head-on. Don’t waste the opportunity to show others what you are capable of. Friday is a great day for salespeople (or any Crabs who work with the public in some way). Aim to be confident, bold – and beautiful.

Beginnings are highlighted in personal relationships. The challenge is to get the balance right between give and take. (Make sure you’re not doing all the giving, and others all the taking!) Venusian vibes are strong on Friday so plan an indulgence whether it’s a massage, beautiful meal, or romantic rendezvous with someone special.

You don’t have to possess everyone (and everything) that you fancy.

If you hold onto loved ones too tightly, they’ll struggle to escape your tenacious Taurean grip! Have you been charging around like a Bull on steroids? The New Moon urges you to make room in your busy life for some well-earned rest and recuperation.

Is life in Leo Land becoming boring and ho-hum? With Mars in your sign and the New Moon activating your adventure zone, you’re feeling restless and ready for a mind-blowing new challenge. So start planning for that Timbuktu trek or Himalayan holiday now! For some singles, love and work are lusciously linked.

How’s your diet and exercise routine going? If you don’t have one, this week may be the turning point. With the New Moon firing up your health zone, it’s time to shake out your running shoes, slip on the old swimsuit, plus increase your intake of fresh juices and salads. Sunday favours socialising with workmates or tackling a pet project.

You want to save the world, feed the poor and initiate social changes – but don’t forget to nurture your nearest and dearest as well. Check your own backyard is in order before you run around fixing everyone else’s! Group activities are highlighted this week, as the New Moon increases your desire to be actively involved in your local community

Geminis are brilliant at juggling the miniature of daily life like a circus pro but this week will test your multi-tasking talents to the max. If you pace yourself – and prioritise – then you’ll get through without a major meltdown. It’s also a fabulous time to contribute your talents and expertise to a group, club or organisation.

With the New Moon stimulating your sensuality zone, mid week is the time to let your inhibitions run wild with someone special. Love and lust are definitely in the air so make the most of it. Issues involving shared finances need to be dealt with (and updated) ASAP. When it comes to joint ventures, the devil is definitely in the detail.

You’ll be hard to ignore this week as you ruffle a few feathers with your impulsive ideas and spontaneous shenanigans. But too much haste could land you in hot water – especially when it comes to children and friends. Take on board some timely advice from birthday great Thomas Jefferson, “Delay is preferable to error.”

Does money run through your hands like water? This week is the best time of the year to commit yourself to a responsible new financial plan. If you can’t do it on your own, then utilize the services of a professional. Your motto for the next seven days is from birthday great J. P. Morgan “If you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it.”

Slater back to his best KELLY Slater defied his age, a nagging ankle injury and world champion Mick Fanning to win his fourth Rip Curl Pro title at Johanna Beach last week.

The 38-year-old â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a nine-time world champion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; announced he is still a force to be reckoned with following the performance.

For the first time, the Rip Curl Pro was held over four different venues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bells Beach, 13th Beach, Winkipop and Johanna â&#x20AC;&#x201C; due to lack of consistent waves.

In a tight final, Fanning started well to take the early advantage, but Slater answered straight away with the remarkable â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;alley-oopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; aerial manoeuvre, boosting so high his feet separated from his board before he recovered for an 8.93 scoring ride.

Slater then paddled out into another excellent wave, scoring an 8.10 to bring his total to 17.03 out of a possible 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a lead that Fanning would not surpass. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot more difficult than it looked out there,â&#x20AC;? Slater said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The tide came up and the takeoff was a lot deeper than we thought it would be. I was getting bumped and bounced and falling, and I had five or six waves before I got something going. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On that 8.93, I was up in the air and when I landed, I kind of fell on my butt and did the one-footed shuffle, but I recovered there. Then I paddled straight into that second wave and that was it.â&#x20AC;?

Despite suffering a hairline fracture in his right foot three days before the final, Slater was able to push himself to a record 42nd elite tour victory.

Kelly Slater performs the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;alley-oopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; manoeuvre which helped him secured his fourth Rip Curl Pro title.

THE WEEKEND saw the launch of the inaugural Surf Coast Junior Bream Fishing Classic, which was organised and run by the Anglesea-Aireys Angling Club.

The weather started out fairly ordinary on the morning with light showers continuing throughout the day, however, this did not discourage all the children that entered (as well as their parents) from coming down and trying their luck to be the first Classic Champion of the Surf Coast.

With children entering from all over the Surf Coast and Geelong the competition was assured of a fantastic day’s outcome, regardless of the weather.

Every child received a show bag, with some children receiving additional giveaways and prizes on the day – the main thing was no-one went away empty handed and everyone enjoyed a great day of fishing with the event itself being warmly received and acknowledged by those who attended as a success.

To all the clubs sponsors I have been asked to offer a sincere thank you, so to Fisheries Victoria , Okuma, The Great Ocean Road Outdoor Centre, Occasions Party Hire, Pulse radio, the Surf Coast Spa Resort, The Anglesea Paddlos, DBM Signs, the Surf Coast Times and the Surf Coast Shire and to all of those who participated in the event.

I say thanks, for making the day the great success it was.

The Anglesea-Aireys Angling club would also like to advise they are already starting to plan now for next year’s event...
