Residents meet to voice concerns over pedestrian and cyclist safety in Point Lonsdale

BY ALISON MARTIN

POINT Lonsdale residents are calling for safer crossings, speed reductions and a range of other initiatives to improve cycling and pedestrian safety.

The need for crossings on Point Lonsdale’s major roads was raised repeatedly at a community meeting hosted by the local ‘People Out and About Point Lonsdale’ group last week.

Meeting convenor, Gavin Hodge, said repairs to pathways at the Springs car park area, and the establishment of a shared off-road pathway between Point Lonsdale and Ocean Grove were also issues that concerned Point Lonsdale cyclists and pedestrians.

POAPL member, Peter Rumpf, said more than 30 people attended the meeting, including the mother of a child who had been knocked off his bike by a

Surf Forecast

car on his way to Point Lonsdale Primary School.

“People are very keen to have a safe crossing on Point Lonsdale Road for children walking or riding to school,” he said.

“Point Lonsdale has a high proportion of students who ride or walk to school. They have about 55 per cent of students who ride so there is urgent demand for safe routes to the school.”

Rumpf said Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale residents discussed concerns with the condition of specific roads and problems with some intersections, including Grimes and Nelson Road near health and aged care facilities.

He said there was also congestion in Point Lonsdale’s shopping centre with pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, car parking, buses and visitors to the park and foreshore all using one location.

“There is the problem of speed. It’s a major issue and there is call for 50km/h on main roads and 40km/h on all other roads and through the shopping strip,” Rumpf said.

Rumpf said vegetation across roads and verges, including overhanging branches, also posed a real danger for cyclists.

“People with disabilities and in wheelchairs also have concerns with access because of the lack of footpaths, uneven turf on the roadsides and vegetation,” he said.

“Dogs off their leashes are a real problem for people on bikes and pedestrians and this is clearly not policed.

“There is also a lack of bike racks and it needs a major push, in fact some businesses have indicated they are prepared to pay for racks outside their shops.

“The issue is, particularly around Point Lonsdale, that we have so many shared pathways, a lot of cyclists and very few footpaths.

“Council really wants our input and is genuine about improving safety, but whether it has the funds to make all the changes is another thing.

“The next step is to go to council with a summary of the issues raised by the community and list of priorities.”

POAPL is an independent community group and called the meeting after encouragement from Borough of Queenscliffe councillors to provide public opinion on roads and pathways, prior to council’s budget planning for 2010-2011.

Campers learn about sustainability

Celebrate our wonderful wetlands

Queenscliff Marine Discovery Centre manager Phil Amarto and education officer Anne McLaughlin expect World Wetlands Day will raise the profile of Swan Bay and the peninsula’s significant network of wetlands.

BY ALISON MARTIN WORLD Wetlands Day will be celebrated with events across the Bellarine’s internationally significant Ramsar sites this Sunday.

Queenscliff Marine Discovery Centre manager, Phil Amarto, said planning for the international day began last year, with Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale primary school students creating migratory shorebird silhouette flocks as part of an interschool environmental art project at the centre.

The flocks will be on public display in the Department of Primary Industries Saltmarsh Gardens at Queenscliff on Sunday to recognise

World Wetlands Day. MDC education officer, Anne McLaughlin, said the MDC display would be part of a series of events being held in the wetlands of the Port Phillip Bay and Bellarine Peninsula Ramsar Site.

The discovery centre will host ‘wake up with the birds’, ‘breakfast with the birds’, ‘walk and talk with the Wathaurong’, ‘Swan Bay environmental trail’ and ‘soak up the serenity of Swan Bay Ramsar Wetland’.

The Barwon Estuary Heritage Centre will have displays set up on the foreshore at Barwon Heads and a boardwalk event at Barwon Heads will provide information on local ‘waders and wetlands’.

McLaughlin said Victoria had 11 internationally significant Ramsar Wetlands, which were visited by tens of thousands of migratory birds from the Northern Hemisphere each year.

She said the birds studied and reproduced as silhouettes by students from Queenscliff PS, Point Lonsdale PS and St Aloysius PS included the rednecked stint, eastern curlew and bar-tailed godwit.

MANY campers at Portarlington Holiday Park will be returning home this week in time for the start of school, with new ideas for living sustainably.

Park manager, Bellarine Bayside, has been working with environmental management consultants The S Factor to tackle sustainability options, including encouraging staff and campers to think about sustainability.

S Factor director, Georgina von Einem, said a ‘green team’ of volunteers from management and staff had been organised to have training in all aspects of sustainability.

“From there we looked for opportunities around the parks to do better in a sustainability sense – opportunities that will also make a commercial sense,” she said.

“We’ve initiated an ‘energy saving camper’ programme where we provide each camper with an energy saver checklist of things they can do themselves within their own caravans.

“A lot of people are genuinely worried about issues like climate change, but they do not understand what they can do about it.

Programmes like this are aimed at teaching people practical ways they can do their bit.

“When a family has checked off six or more of these items from the list they can display their Energy Saving Camper sign on their van.”

Bellarine Bayside will implement an action plan of more improvements and sustainability initiatives during the next 12 months.

Ceremony to welcome new citizens

BY ALISON MARTIN AUSTRALIA Day is the nation’s time to celebrate its heritage, growth and future, while also providing a milestone day for new Australian citizens.

The Varley family from Indented Head will become Australian citizens today, officially presented with their citizenship at a City of Greater Geelong Australia Day ceremony.

Simon Varley, his wife, Yvonne, and their children, Amelia, 6, and Elisabeth, 4, left their home in Hertfordshire, England, and arrived in Australia on March 1, 2006.

Yvonne said they had talked about starting a new life in Australia for several years but the final decision was made when Simon, a specialist in thermal and intake systems, found a new job at Ford in Geelong.

Since moving to Indented Head, they have been great tourism ambassadors, with their families visiting from England and Europe and spending time exploring the Bellarine, Otways and interstate. “Amelia is at Drysdale Primary School and Elisabeth is at kinder at Portarlington and they are both fabulous,� she said. “We love it here, the people are so

friendly and we are very privileged to be becoming Australian citizens.

We’ve already sat the citizenship test and Simon actually got 20 out of 20 and finished in about five minutes; we had no problems at all. “It’s quite daunting standing up in front of lots of people and making a commitment but I am quite excited about the citizenship ceremony, I think we all are.�

City of Greater Geelong mayor, John Mitchell, will confer 28 people as Australian citizens, presenting each with a native Australian plant.

The event will be held at 12 noon at Steampacket Garden at the Geelong Waterfront today.

Bellarine’s award recognition BELLARINE women Janet Paisley and Joyce Stewart have been acknowledged in this year’s Australia Day awards, with both receiving an Order of Australia Medal.

Janet Paisley, of Barwon Heads, has received her OAM for service to the community, particularly through the Geelong Regional Auxiliary for Chaplaincy and Christian Religious Education.

She has been a Christian Religious Education teacher for 18 years, initiated a chaplaincy programme in Ocean Grove and Barwon Heads and has been responsible for numerous roles within the

Anglican Church over the past 40 years.

Point Lonsdale’s Joyce Stewart has been awarded an OAM for service to the community of Queenscliff through the promotion of local history and heritage.

She is a founding member of Queenscliffe Historical Museum and Borough of Queenscliffe Heritage Committee. Stewart has been actively involved in many other community groups including Friends of Fort Queenscliff, Point Lonsdale Civic Association, Swan Bay Probus Group and Point Lonsdale Progress Association.

Simon is biking his way to the top

BY ALISON MARTIN MOUNTAIN biking is one of Australia’s rapidly growing sports and Point Lonsdale teen, Simon Harrington, is quickly rising to the top of the competition.

Harrington, 13, won second place in the under 15 Olympic cross country event and third place in the under 15 4x race at the 2010 Mountain Bike Australia Championship.

He has been competing for less than 12 months but is leading the State series for his age-group, after a win in Bendigo in November.

The national championship was held at Eagle Park in Adelaide earlier this month and Harrington will

compete again in February.

Harrington attends Christian College in Drysdale and is a member of the Forrest Mountain Bike Club, which has a strong junior membership.

Lions support for Men’s Shed THE CLIFTON Springs-Drysdale Men’s Shed has received an unexpected $1,000 boost, following the success of a local charity golf day.

The Portarlington-Drysdale Lions Club had nominated the men’s shed as the recipient of money raised from this year’s Lions Charity Golf Day at Clifton Springs Golf Club. Lions members had already presented a cheque for $4,000 to the recently established shed.

Lion Cam McLean said the extra $1,000 brought the total raised from the day for the shed to $5,000, thanks to the golfers and generosity of local business sponsors. “The Men’s Shed committee now has the confidence to push ahead with plans, knowing they have the funds to purchase equipment for

woodwork and other activities,� he said. “The Men’s Shed programme, rapidly taking off all around Victoria, is important for the health and wellbeing of mainly retired men, giving them somewhere to meet, talk, have a cuppa or carry out their hobbies in an environment which provides them with pleasant companionship. “Many single men become quite lonely and the Men’s Shed is somewhere to go when at a loose end. They don’t have to get involved in woodwork, but can just have a chat or read the paper. “Lions are also grateful to the Clifton Springs Golf Club for their co-operation and support, which has been ongoing for a number of years now and hopefully, will continue into the future.�

Update from the DCSCA IN DECEMBER, the council announced its intention to rezone parts of Drysdale and invited public comment.

The announcement caused concern and confusion and DCSCA has worked with local people to develop clear alternatives.

Residents from the Springs Street area - a target of the proposals - told DCSCA president Doug Carson that they feel let down by the council’s intention to create a mini housing estate on open space.

Residents of another target area - bounded by High Street, Eversleigh Street and Princess Street - are very concerned that council might buy their homes to create a car park.

Other residents have complained that the council has invited comment just when many people are on holidays.

This same criticism was made when the council announced its draft structure plan over the 2008/2009 holidays.

The DCSCA submission to the council will draw on our talks with locals and show

that the proposals contradict the council’s structure plan.

It’s not too late to have your say, too. The closing date for submissions was January 18, but the council’s strategic planning department will consider late submissions. For information, see DCSCA’s ‘blog’, Dryclift Days (http:// drycliftdays.blogspot.com/).

NightBus service to promote safe late night travel

THE CENTRAL Geelong NightBus will offer a new service to Drysdale/Clifton Springs from Saturday, February 6, to help people get home safely.

Departing Central Geelong at 4am on Sunday mornings, the Drysdale/Clifton Springs service will cost $5 per person.

The service is replacing the current 4am service to Newtown/Geelong West/Manifold Heights/Herne Hill, which will no longer be available.

More than 1,600 people have used the NightBus to get home after a night out in central Geelong to date, however, there’s still plenty of room for more people to use the service.

Bus services need a helping hand COMMUNITY bus services have been so popular in Leopold and Portarlington they could be expanded to other Bellarine towns.

However, funding and more volunteer drivers will be needed to ensure other communities have the same service available.

The weekly community bus started operating as a trial in Leopold and more recently began servicing the Portarlington community, as an initiative of Bellarine Community Health through Building Bellarine Communities.

Volunteer driver, Barb Dwyer, said she had received “really great feedback” from her passengers, who had limited mobility and would otherwise not leave their homes, or wait for friends or relatives to drive them somewhere.

“I call them each week to check they will be on the bus, provide a door-to-door service and help carry their shopping,” Dwyer said.

“They’re not relying so heavily on friends and family and they are getting out; it’s giving them something to look forward to.

“There is no charge but some like to make a gold coin donation towards the fuel costs.

“But we do need more volunteer drivers and every driver completes a refresher course with a qualified driving instructor.”

To register for the community bus service or express interest in being a driver, contact Building Bellarine Connections on 0447 449 337 or 5258 2457.

Queenscliff’s new playspace is taking shape, with a climbing wave, spinners, swings, seating and creative paving now in place. The playspace will be closed to the public until completed but has gained great interest from local children and visitors since the project began.

Barb Dwyer is calling on more people to volunteer to drive the community buses.

Parklands project findings released FINDINGS of community consultation undertaken last year in relation to trail alignment concepts along the Barwon River as part of the Barwon River Parklands project have been released.

State Member for South Barwon and Parliamentary Secretary for Water and Environment, Michael Crutchfield, announced the release of the findings, which were gathered following open house forums last May and June.

The forums allowed participants to learn about the importance of the Barwon River to an evergrowing Geelong and Bellarine community.

Participants were able to discover more about the overall potential of the Barwon River

Parklands, including the study into possible trail alignments, and had the opportunity to provide feedback.

The forums were attended by 151 local residents, who completed 117 surveys. Written submissions were received from five organisations.

Crutchfield said the data in the report is representative of the community feedback and is based on qualitative and quantitative analysis.

“There were great benefits in undertaking the Open House Forums and community consultation, both as a feedback process for the partner agencies and to increase community awareness of the Barwon River Parklands,” he said.

“Analysis of the data indicates there is broad community support for the Barwon River Parklands concept.

“The highest priority of the Barwon River Parklands from the community’s perspective is to protect the natural environment and Ramsar Wetlands.

“Loop trails and key access points were identified as a higher priority than a continuous trail linking Geeling to Barwon Heads.

“The community has also told us that a focus should be to develop further recreation opportunities in areas that already exist, such as Belmont Common.”

As a result of the community consultation process, a series of recommendations have been sent to the Barwon River Parklands Steering Committee.

The Barwon River Parklands is a state government initiative to link the heart of Geelong to the sea at Barwon Heads by improving existing opportunities in the various parks, reserves and trails along more than 30 kilometres of the Barwon River from Geelong across the Bellarine Peninsula.

For further information on the Barwon River Parklands, phone Parks Victoria’s Information Centre 131 963 or visit www.parkweb.vic.gov.au

Celebrations all around LAST year was a big year for centenary celebrations, with Jirrahlinga Wildlife Sanctuary resident ‘Digger’ the sulphur-crested cockatoo and the Gould League both turning 100.

Gould League executive officer, David Walker, and deputy chair, Andrew Higgins, were at the Barwon Heads sanctuary last month to induct avid birdwatcher and Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield, as a Gould League centennial ambassador, in recognition of his longstanding support of the environment.

The presentation was part of the league’s centenary celebrations and during their visit the Gould League representatives were introduced to Digger, who also turned 100 last year.

“Seeing one of the very creatures the Gould League was formed to protect – who just happened to be as old as the league itself – seemed like fate to us,” Walker said, announcing the league would sponsor the ageing cockatoo.

“Between the Gould League and Digger there’s 200 years of ‘hands-on’ experience of

native wildlife and what needs to be done to help preserve it for future generations “We thought it only fitting that we do something to acknowledge his milestone, as so many Australians did for our own centenary in 2009.

“Sponsoring Digger was a simple way to help him and promote the great work Tehree Gordon and her staff are doing.

“Jirrahlinga and the Gould League have a lot in common and it’s great to assist someone so passionate about the environment and our native wildlife.”

Digger has been a part of Jirrahlinga ever since his owner, who got him for his sixth birthday, moved into permanent care 30 years ago and asked Gordon to look after his pet.

“This gentleman loved his bird so much when he got married it was a case of ‘love-me-love-mybird,” Gordon said.

“When he saw he was becoming frail he made arrangements for us to continue to care for Digger.”

Gould League executive officer, David Walker, meets centenarian, Digger the cockatoo, at Barwon Heads’ Jirrahlinga Wildlife Sanctuary.

Jirrahlinga Wildlife Sanctuary is situated at Taits Road, Barwon Heads. For more information, phone 5254 2484 or visit www.jirrahlinga.com. au

Otway plan to protect parks THE GREAT Otway National Park now stands with the Grampians and Wilsons Promontory as one of the state’s most popular and spectacular national parks, according to State Member for South Barwon and Parliamentary Secretary for the environment, Michael Crutchfield.

Crutchfield last week released the management plan for the Great Otway National Park and Otway Forest Park.

“The release of the management plan is the final step in the government’s commitment in 2002 to establish the Great Otway National Park and Otway Forest Park,” he said.

“It has been a significant transition with the end of logging of native forest in the Otways.

This management plan now shifts our focus to how we will work with local communities to look after the Otways for future generations.

“We now have a national and forest park that sits alongside the Grampians, the Alps and the Prom as a place that is highly valued by all Victorians. We have large parks that will protect a unique environment and contribute to a vibrant regional economy,” he said.

Crutchfield said the plan focussed on protecting the Otways’ environment, supporting regional tourism, protecting water quality and engaging indigenous communities. It includes • Priority actions to protect and improve the Otways’ environment including management of weeds and pests and protection of threatened species • A commitment to work with the Traditional Owners of Kirrae Whurrong, Gulidjan, Gadubanud and Wathaurung Country in the management of cultural heritage and the environment • Actions to protect the quality of water supply to Geelong, Colac, Lorne, Anglesea, Aireys Inlet, Simpson, Cobden, Camperdown,

Watch your speed out on the water BARWON Coast is working with Victorian Water Police and Bellarine Police to raise awareness of estuary speed limits.

A five knot speed limit applies to the Barwon River Estuary and penalties apply.

Barwon Coast community liaison officer, Maddie Glynn, said the authorities were all working together to encourage responsible boating.

“Because the estuary is known for its calm waters, scenic landscape and biodiversity values, it is heavily used by families for swimming and other recreational pursuits such as sailing, kayaking and fishing,” she said.

“To ensure everyone gets a fair go on the estuary and to ensure protection of coastal biodiversity values such as bank stabilisation and aquatic life, we urge all boat users to understand the five knot speed limited.”

The five knot speed limit is equivalent to a fast walk or around eight kilometres per hour.

Terang, Mortlake and Warrnambool • A framework for the development of strategic fuel breaks to help protect near-by towns • An integrated approach to public land management • Support for recreational activities, including fishing, four wheel driving, camping and walking dogs on beaches.

Crutchfield said the parks had already become a crucial asset for the tourism industry.

“The government has already invested more than $7million to upgrade visitor facilities in the parks, including waterfall walks, visitor areas, car parks and signage,” he said.

“We have worked to position the Great Ocean Walk as one of the world’s best walks, improved touring routes and created a vibrant mountain biking network around the Forest township.”

RED CROSS Geelong is moving to a new home.

Mercer Street will now be the Geelong headquarters for the Red Cross, who will officially move into the new building on Monday, February 8.

Red Cross executive director for Victoria, Toni Aslett, said Red Cross has a long history in Geelong and the new premises will better meet the organisation’s needs now and well into the future.

“It is envisaged that Red Cross programmes in the Geelong region will grow considerably over the next few years as Red Cross continues to focus on helping the most vulnerable people in our community” she said.

“We will direct our resources to where we can have a long term impact and where the need is greatest.”

The new Red Cross Regional Office will be located at 49 Mercer Street, with telephone numbers for the office remaining the same, 5223 8700.

Have your say on game reserve PARKS Victoria is inviting Bellarine Peninsula and Surf Coast residents to have a say on proposed new visitor facilities at Taits Point, Lake Connewarre State Game Reserve.

The reserve, situated between Geelong and Barwon Heads, will host the open day this Sunday (January 31) from 10am-2pm at Taits Point to coincide with World Wetlands Day. Community members will be able to see the concept plans for proposed new visitor facilities at Taits Point and discuss the project with Parks Victoria staff.

“Taits Point provides a wonderful opportunity to view Lake Connewarre, one of the largest tidal influenced lakes in Western Victoria, and its

internationally significant wetlands,” said State Member for South Barwon, Michael Crutchfield.

“Taits Point is part of Barwon River Parklands project which aims to create a chain of new parkland along the Barwon River connecting Geelong to Barwon Heads.

“Taits Point is currently accessible to the community, however, facilities are minimal and there is a significant opportunity to improve the visitor facilities and establish a destination that showcases Lake Connewarre and the Barwon River Parklands.

“We want to provide upgraded and expanded facilities that will encourage more people to come and enjoy this significant area, and we urge people

to come along and look at the concept plans, and see what is proposed.”

Crutchfield said the concept plans cover improved car parking, viewing decks, walking tracks, improved access to Lake Connewarre, and information about natural features and the cultural history of the area.

There will also be an opportunity to participate in other environmental activities at Taits Point on the day.

Taits Point is located at the end of Staceys Road (Melway ref Map 481, H4).

Are you up for the challenge?

VERY Special Kids is looking for volunteers to help support families through the region.

The organisation supports families throughout their experience of caring for children with lifethreatening illnesses, and they are calling on volunteers on the Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula who want to make a difference for local families.

As a Very Special Kids Family support volunteer, you can help ease the load by visiting families in their home, spending time with a child with a lifethreatening illness or their siblings.

A volunteer information evening is being held on Tuesday, February 9, from 6pm-7pm at Very Special Kids’ office at 86 Surf Coast Highway, Torquay.

All family support volunteers undergo a 27-hour (three hours per week over nine weeks) training programme and a Working with Children Check before being carefully matched with a family.

Very Special Kids seeks to provide a safe, secure and friendly environment for all children and their

families and is accredited with The Australian Council for Children and Youth Organisations (ACCYO).

Very Special Kids services include: • Care at Very Special Kids House, Victoria’s only children’s hospice, providing planned respite, emergency respite and end-of-life care • Emotional support and counseling • Trained volunteers • Sibling programmes and family activities • A bereavement support programme It costs $4.3million a year to run Very Special Kids and $1.3million to operate Very Special Kids House, with less than 25 per cent of the annual operating cost provided by the Victorian Government.

If you are over 21, interested in helping a family in your area and are able to commit to regular volunteering over 12 months, phone Peggy on 5261 5544 for more information or email barwon@ vsk.org.au

Sight of tethered elephant spoils Surf Coast A letter to the Mayor, I am a visitor to the beautiful Surf Coast and I write to firstly, commend you and your council on the magnificent environment you so obviously care for and protect.

Renting a home in Torquay for the past month has been a wonderful experience that I and my family have enjoyed immensely.

The one ‘sour note’ for us has been the sight of the tethered elephant at the Perry Brothers Circus site.

This beautiful and majestic creature is limited to a 30-metre chain within a small electrified enclosure.

It greatly saddens and upsets me and many others, to witness such cruelty. As you know, elephants are highly intelligent, emotional animals who depend on the security of life within a herd.

In addition, they are constantly on the move in the

wild. By contrast, this chained elephant is alone and deprived of mobility.

I believe this awful sight lowers the tone of Torquay, turning an otherwise lovely town into a ‘side show’.

By allowing the circus to exploit wild animals for monetary gain, the council is in fact advocating this archaic practice.

I strongly urge you to reconsider your decision to allow the circus on the Surf Coast. I, for one, would be far more likely to return if I could enjoy the beautiful surrounds without having to witness such cruelty and disregard of animal rights.

Crushing cars is not the way to go Dear Editor, So now the political powers that be in our state want

to crush cars.

I object to the state or police having the power to steal someone’s motor vehicle and then vandalise the car by crushing it.

Both stealing and vandalism, I believe, are against the laws of the justice in our state of Victoria.

A hoon’s car is not the property of the state government to do with as they wish. If they had the power to sell the vehicle then a just and fair price should be negotiated and the owner paid that amount.

Yes, hoons and hoon driving are sadly part of today’s driving scene and is quite disgusting, often resulting in innocent people being killed or maimed for life. It is an appalling fact of road behaviour at the current time.

Fine them heavily, remove their licences for five to 10 years (and police it!) or even clamp the offenders’ vehicle on their property for the designated period of time, to remove them from the roads.

But please ignore those plaintive and emotional calls of ‘They are hoons. Crush their cars’.

AFTER Jodie Rasmus helps her client, Susan Leitich, with her newly Global Keratin straightened hair.

No more bad hair days

BY SARAH LAWRENCE THOSE who have been frustrated with frizzy or hard to manage hair will be delighted with the new longterm treatment available at Grovedale Associates in Hair.

Their new Global Keratin-based treatment straightens hair naturally without harsh chemicals. It is done through infusing a Brazilian Global Keratin treatment into the hair. The treatment is ideal for people with frizzy, curly, damaged or coloured hair.

Torquay’s Jodie Rasmus, who has owned her salon for the past 20 years, said she has never seen such excellent results from hair straightening products. “I saw it on television on A Current Affair and

thought it would be good for the salon. Since then I have been amazed with the results and it has been in high demand,� said Rasmus. “People love not having frizzy and demaged hair anymore. It makes it easier to manage and lasts up to four months.�

The treatment leaves the hair with a shiny, smooth and straight look. It also weather proofs the hair against flyaway frizz and the effects of moisture. “It leaves the hair with a more natural look than permanently straightening the hair. It still has body and bounce as well as restoring the shine,� said Rasmus.

For more information, phone Grovedale Associates in Hair on 5241 5155 or visit them at 124 Burdoo Drive, Grovedale.

Tips to help you retire

YOUR retirement is a time of change and for many it means downsizing out of the family home. A growing number of Australians over 55 are packing up the house and hitting the road for an extended trip, while others are paring down their belongings and moving into smaller spaces.

Moving ranks as one of the top stressors today and for some, moving out of their long-term home can be overwhelming.

Couples and individuals at retirement age may have possessions collected over 40, 50 or even 60 years to sort through.

The big question is what to do with those valuable or sentimental items you no longer have room for but cannot part with?

“We recommend using an accredited storage facility to ensure your possessions are carefully taken care of,” said Viv Hanley, executive director of the Australian Furniture Removers Association

Prepare your belongings Clothing should be sealed in airtight packages to reduce the risk of deterioration over time; any carpets and rugs should be cleaned prior to stowing; refrigerators should be cleaned thoroughly then dried before storing; before storing any electrical goods, check with the manufacturer for any specific instructions.

Funeral Planning, a smart choice for those who have a lot more Life to Live.

Tuckers Funeral and Bereavement Service has provided families in and around the Geelong area with quality service since 1883 and continues to be committed to ensuring security and peace of mind when meeting financial pre-arrangement needs.

In her specialised role at Tuckers, Michele assists families with information on funerals and issues related to making arrangements for funerals. She believes that prearranging and pre-paying for your funeral are both an integral part of sensible retirement and estate planning, and is as essential as making a will. “It just makes good sense.” says Michele, “No one wants their family to worry, and it’s much easier to organise things when you are still well and healthy.”

The good news is that a pre-paid funeral ensures costs are fixed at today’s prices and that your expressed wishes are carried out, especially if your arrangements become part of your will.

Also pre-paid funerals are not means tested against pension entitlements and are safely invested with a fund manager to keep up with inflation rates. surfcoasttimes.com.au

Two options to consider; Prepaid Funerals • The funeral arrangement is purchased at today’s cost and remains fixed forever regardless of inflation and future price increases.

• The funeral plan protects pension entitlements and is exempt under both the Pension’s Asset and Income Test.

• Funds are invested securely with a Fund Manager in compliance with the Victorian Prepaid Funeral Legislation.

• A prepaid funeral will eliminate the financial commitment and difficult decisions often left with family members and/or executors.

• All funeral plans are tailored to individual needs and formally documented in a contract.

Funeral Bonds • Accumulate funds to help meet the future cost of a funeral.

• It is capital guaranteed by a Fund Manager • It can be paid by installments on a fortnightly, monthly or quarterly basis to suit you, and can be automatically debited from a specific bank account.

Responsive approach and flexibility to all individual needs and circumstances have given Tuckers the opportunity to offer families funeral plan options that are within the realm of affordability.

Yoga for the wise movers

Chee’s healing hands CAROLINE Chee has been making a name for herself as one of the Surf Coast and Bellarine’s most effective osteopaths, with her friendly and calm manner a winner with clients.

Osteopathy involves manipulation of the musculoskeletal system to promote mobility and balance. The central belief is that a healthy body relies on a structurally sound skeletomuscular system.

The practice uses a broad range of gentle hands-on treatments, including soft tissue massage, stretching, articulation, mobilisation and manipulation of joints.

Chee practices at Drysdale as well as from the Karuna Maya Medicine Tree in Jan Juc. For more information or to make a booking, phone Caroline Chee on 5261 4146.

Something for the girls

Kate Cartwright Remedial Therapist AAMT Registered Nurse Located in Belmont & Torquay

BY SARAH LAWRENCE

INCENTIVES FOR NEW CLIENTS*

IF YOU are looking to get fit with a group of like-minded and fun people, then Lucy Fitzgerald has a six-week women’s only fitness programme which gets results.

Starting on Monday, February 8, Fitzgerald will run sessions three mornings a week from 6am-7am on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

Fitzgerald’s friendly and bubble personality makes participants feel at ease during her training and she always assures them with encouragement and support.

Fitzgerald arranges an itinerary of different locations and sessions to help participants avoid boredom with the same places.

Participants are able to closely monitor their progress from fitness testing and weigh-ins at the start and end of the programme.

According to Fitzgerald, the women in the group become good friends and most end up socialising outside of the training sessions. “Working with girls is fantastic. They become quite social and make friends in the group,� she said. “It gives an opportunity for girls who don’t feel comfortable in some environments to get out there and exercise. I’ve had girls from their teens to their late 50s doing the programmes.�

An added bonus of the programme is Fitzgerald’s knowledge in nutrition. “Participants are able to have an optional food diary. They can keep track of what they’re eating and I can give them advice on how they’re going,� she said. “I’ve done a course in metabolic nutrition so I can help them get better results.�

Fitzgerald’s programme is well priced at $250 – making each session less than $14 – with a professional and fully qualified personal trainer. “Usually people start to feel a lot more energetic and less stressed from the exercise. And if they go about it properly there is usually significant weight loss and a big increase in fitness,� she said.

For more information, phone Lucy Fitzgerald on 0460 783 761.

LeMaistre at The Sands Learn the lingo Here are some terms associated with medium and high-density dwellings, which are always handy to know.

Owners’ corporation, title and strata title are commonly used terms, particularly in reference to the growing number of medium- and highdensity dwellings in Victoria.

Owners’ corporation Until two years ago the legal organisation that was responsible for the common property in a multi-unit dwelling was the body corporate, now it is the owners’ corporation. The owners’ corporation comprises all the owners of a dwelling in a building or group of houses that share common property, for instance a driveway, foyer, laundry or lift.

The owners’ corporation allows the owners to make plans about how to manage and use the common property, for instance a servicing plan for the lift, rules of operation of a laundry, security arrangements in the car park or issues associated with waste removal.

They typically employ an owners’ corporation manager, who must be registered with the Victorian Business Licensing Authority.

The REIV has a chapter of owners’ corporation managers and you can view their details by visiting www.reiv.com.au

Starting on page 82 AGENTS

To submit information for the industry news page, please forward photographs or editorial to: advertising@surfcoasttimes.com.au by Wednesdays at noon.

Title The title is the document that provides proof of ownership and the details of a piece of land or, in the case of a strata title, a dwelling.

It can also contain information mortgages, covenants, caveats and easements

• Planning advice, investigation and applications • VCAT representation • Land rezoning and planning scheme amendments

Strata title Strata title is a term commonly associated with medium- and high-rise dwellings. The title for a detached dwelling has physical boundaries on the ground, but this is not possible for medium- and high-rise dwellings.

In that circumstance, title is allocated by dividing the air space. Rather than registering the title boundaries on the ground, the entire plans for the building are registered with the Registrar of Titles.

Owners get title to the airspace indicated on the plans in accordance with the physical dimensions of their unit.

FIRST HOUSES BUILT AFTER SALE Extracts from ‘History of Torquay’ by James A Baines 1938 Cr W.B. Wilton was born at Geelong in 1858. Upon the completion of his education at Flinders School and Wesley College, he worked in his father’s business here and then accompanied his parents to Yarrawonga. He came back to Geelong and was manager of the late Mr J. Munday’s business for three years. Resigning from that position, he opened a similar business for himself and conducted it for 14 years before he disposed of it and purchased his Fenwick property “Nangunia� where he carries on fruit growing and farming.

Increasing trend toward custom building on the coast IN AN age of big business builders, standard house plans and cookie cutter style designs, more and more people are turning to custom building to create the perfect home environment, whether they be first home buyers or established home owners.

Blue Cove Homes is a quality custom builder that specialises in building GreenSmart Coastal homes. Their homes reflect the personal style, lifestyle and practical needs of its owner and are always visually distinctive – sometimes striking, often understated.

Michael and Di Dahm are the inspiration behind the business, with more than 20 years experience. Their growing reputation for producing beautiful, high quality homes in harmony with the ocean environment has seen them expand their operations from the Bellarine Peninsula into other coastal areas.

Di Dahm is passionate about helping people realise their dream and says, “We know that a home is the most important financial investment many of us will make, but it’s also a significant personal investment. We get to know our clients, and we know how to create a structure that will truly reflect

their personal style and lifestyle.� “The other great thing about custom building is that it creates a certain sense of exclusivity around the property that need not be expensive. It can certainly play an important part in the property appreciating in value in the future�, she added.

Blue Cove Homes are one of the few builders in the area to be approved as an accredited Building Ethics builder.

Among other things, the builder’s business is assessed for its skills, experience and financial position before accreditation is provided. It also stipulates additional protection for the customer over and above the statutory requirements.

The company is regularly building homes with the maximum GreenSmart Energy Rating of 7-8*, where the minimum standard is 5*. In addition to clever design and new technologies, the choice of materials can contribute greatly to that outcome.

Blue Cove Homes offer a FREE 1 hour consultation for anyone wanting to explore custom building their next home.

Grab the grants at Metricon

THANKS to the federal government’s announcement last year to continue with the increased First Home Buyer’s Government grant – first home buyers have been coming out of the woodwork to ensure they can take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Victoria’s leading home builder, Metricon, has offered customers further incentive to build a brand new home by topping up the government grant to an impressive $35,000 for individuals and families wishing to build in regional Victoria.

That’s right, Metricon is offering a second grant

– a $12,500 cash rebate – on top of the federal and state government offers.

Metricon general manager of regional housing, Paul Vujovich, suggests this initiative has assisted with stimulating consumer activity and infused a spark into the new home market and housing industry.

“This incentive not only targets direct assistance for new housing to meet underlying demand but importantly assisting with fulfilling the great Australian dream of home ownership,” he said.

“With the combination of easing of monetary

policy and low interest rates, this added stimulus for new housing goes a long way in restoring consumer confidence and bolstering the new housing market.

“We know, as a fast-growing state, and still one of the most affordable housing markets, that we need to keep supply up with demand, so this sort of stimulus from the government for first-home buyers is very welcome.

“Metricon is at the forefront of addressing housing affordability by presenting individuals entering the property market a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take advantage of both the government boost as well

as Metricon’s cash top up.

“This $35,000 headstart is on top of our great service and competitive home and land packages across the state which we refer to as ‘The Metricon Advantage’. Our objective is to make home ownership more accessible for thousands of new First Home Buyers.

“This offer is for a limited time so interested first home buyers need to act fast.”

For further information, phone 1300 METRICON (638 742), visit www.metricon.com.au or head down to your nearest Metricon display centre.

A Day on the Green cancelled

Rip Curl Pro memorabilia on display

BY SARAH LAWRENCE MOST people have items in the back of their cupboard that they never look at, but how many can claim to have three vintage Rip Curl Pro t-shirts lying around?

It was only a few years ago that Lee Orbuck was clearing out his cupboard and went to throw out his three Rip Curl Pro t-shirts from 1972, ’73 and ’75.

Orbuck had surfed in the iconic event from 1969 to 1976.

Fortunately, his mother, Shirley, saved them from going to the tip.

“I ran after them, saving the tops from the tip because I knew they were important to the town’s history,” said Shirley.

Orbuck told his friend, Bob Smith, who works as Rip Curl’s archivist

and Surf World Museum advisor, about the shirts. Smith followed the story up with Orbuck and decided to get the important relics of surf history framed.

“Often the things end up disappearing into thin air but they’re an important part of surf history,” said Smith.

The shirts were sponsored and framed by locals businesses, including Grant Forbes from Tigerfish, Steve Christou from Front Beach Cafe and Max Pickett from Kardinia Picture Framing.

“In those days you paid an entry fee of about $10 and got the t-shirt with a block of wax,” Orbuck recalled.

“We thought it was pretty good and some people just went in it for that.

“The shirts bring back lots of memories of fun times. It’s better they’re up there (on display) rather than growing mould. I’m thrilled.”

ORGANISERS of A Day on the Green have been forced to cancel next month’s concert set down for Scotchman’s Hill at Spray Farm.

A statement from Roundhouse Entertainment, which promotes the concerts, said the cancellation has been caused due to Canadian singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright abandoning his tour of Australia.

Wainwright was forced to cancel his tour due to an illness in the family.

The cancellation of the A Day on the Green concert will be a major disappointment for the Bellarine and Surf Coast music followers.

Tickets for the concert – which also featured Paul Kelly – had been selling fast.

“We are all incredibly disappointed that Rufus has had to cancel his tour,” said promoter, Michael Newton.

“Unfortunately we have no time to secure another artist of the same calibre to replace him as the coheadline act, which makes it economically unviable to continue with the show.

“We hope we will see Rufus at A Day on the Green next summer.”

Patrons who had purchased tickets will receive a full refund. For all tickets purchased via the internet or Ticketmaster phone line, customers will automatically be refunded onto the purchasing credit card.

For all outlet bookings, customers are required to return to the point of purchase where a full refund will be issued.

To make up for any inconvenience, all ticket holders will also be contacted with a special discounted offer for any of the other A Day on the Green events this summer.

Scotchman’s Hill at Spray Farm will still host A Day on the Green concert next month, with former Matchbox 20 frontman Rob Thomas headlining a February 6 concert.

Also appearing with Thomas will be Vanessa Amorosi, Thirsty Merc and Rushcutter.

GRAPEVINE

} Jon Helmer From little things‌ BROUGHT TO YOU BY

CORKS CREW CELLARS

LET ME say right from the out set that I heartily applaud this initiative by Fosters – the ‘Maison de Grand Espirit’ (a ‘Meeting of the Minds’) – it’s an inspired vision to fuse the winemaking traditions of France with the ‘new world’ wine styles of Australia.

A collaboration of French and Australian winemakers who share a common bond with the varieties they produce, to create contemporary, fruit-focused wines that still retain that ‘Frenchness’ about them and distinct regional traits.

The entry level collection (there are three levels of quality produced in the range), is all about small parcels of classic grape varieties sourced from classic regions – hence the name ‘Les Petites Vignettes’ which roughly translates to mean the ‘little village scenes’ and ‘little vineyards’.

This most apt, and offers five wines in the line up (the sparkling brut and sauvignon blanc are not included here due to space constraints). However, on the whole, the package works really well, from the quaint labels right through to the resultant and justifiably exciting wines‌ check ‘em out.

Les Petites Vignettes Vin d’Alsace Pinot Blanc 2008 ($22)

My favourite in the collection with freshness, purity, and vibrancy highlighting enticing aromas that intrigue right from the start.

Another defining feature of this wine is its texture – a trait that gets me every time – and this has it in spades, making it such a versatile and ideal partner with food. The balance and consistency of flavour, weight and acidity is just perfect‌ I love it!

Les Petites Vignettes Alsace Furstentum Pinot Gris (Grand Cru) 2007 ($30)

Another triumph of the collection in a neat little 375ml bottle. The two highly esteemed winemakers behind this creation – Kevin McCarthy of T’Gallant fame on the Mornington Peninsula and the equally famous Fred Blanck of Domaine Paul Blanck in Alsace – are no strangers to this variety and have more than produced the goods. Here, they’ve (somehow) managed to obtain ‘Grand Cru’ (the best) fruit to create a most beautiful and elegant late harvest dessert wine with precision perfect balance of residual sweetness and tangy, mineral acidity. Full marks boys.

Les Petites Vignettes Red Burgundy (Pinot Noir) 2007 ($27)

Good Burgundy at a reasonable price is hard to find (somewhat of a ‘Holy Grail’ others might contend), and this represents an interesting foray worth your attention. Not overly in your face in style, rather this is a subdued offering that hints and suggests complexity and character with typical Pinot Noir strawberry/ raspberry and cherry nuance on the nose and clean, bright fullness of flavour on the medium weighted palate. Like anything, you get what you pay for, and this is probably one for those with a penchant for anything French, or pinot-philes in general.

The Hornets buzz into Ocean Grove LEGENDARY Melbourne blues outfit, The Hornets, will be playing at Ocean Grove’s Piping Hot Chicken shop on Saturday, February 6.

The Hornets have appeared at the venue before, and enjoyed the atmosphere and crowd so much, they are looking forward to getting back. “This is our second gig at the shop,� said the band’s singer-songwriter, Craig Horne, “and frankly we can’t wait to get there again. “The last time we played the shop it was a bleak July evening, raining, windy and cold. A night that I thought would not see many people venturing outdoors. “How wrong I was. The chicken was hot, the drinks were cold and the place was packed and rockin’. “It was a fantastic night and the February gig is sure to be better because we will have the full Hornets line-up on show.�

Recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Jeff Burstin and Wayne Burt (Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons) are on guitars, Wayne Duncan (Daddy Cool) on bass and the mighty Chris Tabone on

drums.

This line-up confirms The Hornets are truly Australian music royalty.

A fixture on Melbourne’s blues scene for many years The Hornets have a loyal band of followers.

Horne said the band recently celebrated 14 years together and were looking forward to 2010 and a series of gigs to introduce a whole new set of material to their fans. “2010 is already shaping as a watershed year for the band, so check our website for our gig guide and catch us live,� he said.

The Hornets current album, Good Stuff, is the band’s fifth offering, and the first released by their new label, Black Market Music.

Good Stuff is a soul-orientated release that is divided into three sections – Urban Blues, Parisienne Suite and Finger Pointing Songs.

The album is bookended by an evocative instrumental, The Flight of the Hornet.

The Ocean Grove gig kicks off at 8pm. For more information on The Hornets, visit their website, www.thehornets.com.au

“We offer five-star a la carte dining, highly trained staff and a beautiful atmosphere to dine in,” said Crowne Plaza Torquay food and beverage manager, Tony Sargent.

“There is a romantic and decadent tinge to the food with the oysters and strawberries –

we hope couples will enjoy a very romantic night.

“The menu also has some vegetarian options and we can adjust it to any dietary requirements.”

The restaurant also supports local farmers and producers by using locally sourced goods.

“All our produce is sourced or supplied from locals. Our extensive wine list has many fantastic Bellarine wines to add to the enjoyment of the night,” Sargent said.

Deans Marsh to host CD launch THE MARTIAN Bar at Deans Marsh will play host to the launch of the second CD from local outfit, Fogg.

Led by renowned Aireys Inlet musician, Jeff Raglus, Fogg’s second offering, Key 2 The Door, combines groovy and rhythmical jazz elements, fronted by the dynamic vocals of Atlanta Coogan.

The five-piece outfit – which also includes Bruce Haymes on keyboards, Steve Hadley on bass and Tony Floyd on the drums, will take to the Martian Bar this Saturday, starting at 8.30pm.

This quintet deftly dodges any stereotype description, falling somewhere between acid cocktail and flipped out urban funk.

Horns, keyboards, loops and samples make Fogg a highly charged yet, at times, chilled back listening experience.

Key 2 The Door exudes a pop jazz-tinged sound, and a dance-filled night of great music is assured.

Combining the freedom, wildness and ambience of jazz with the melody and soulfulness of pop and rock and roll, Fogg displays a depth of outstanding musicianship with pop sensibility.

The band may be renowned individually, but they are just as dynamic together and their live performances are full of energy.

For more information on the evening, phone The Martian Bar, Lorne Road, Deans Marsh, on 5236 3350.

Art at Tuckerberry Hill

TUCKERBERRY Hill’s new cafÊ has proven popular for its take on all things containing blueberries, but there is something else that has been catching the eyes of visitors.

Works from local artist, Linda Gallus, adorn the walls of the new cafĂŠ at the Tuckerberry Hill Blueberry Farm near Drysdale.

Gallus, who lives in Geelong, made the move from central Victoria to help gain inspiration from the coastal environment. “Living near the coast has given me the opportunity to spend hours walking on the beach observing birds, surfers, people walking their dogs, nudists, and other fascinating creatures,� Gallus said. “I have recently read about William Buckley and find his story enthralling. He lived with the local aboriginal people, the Wathaurong tribe, for over 30 years after escaping as a convict from an early settlement near Sorrento. “Buckley had deserted his culture and found another. To the Wathaurong people Buckley had become the spirit of the dreaming. They believed him to be reincarnated. “They called him Murrangurk and gave him the magpie for his totem. Buckley’s favourite place to live was Point Impossible, between Torquay and Breamlea, as there were always plenty of fish and eels to eat. “In some respects, all of these things come together in this series of paintings.�

To see the works of Gallus, visit Tuckerberry Hill Blueberry Farm cafĂŠ at 35 Becks Road, Drysdale, or phone 5251 3468.

Study scholarships up for grabs MACPHERSON Smith Rural Foundation has launched its Future Leaders Scholarship Programme as part of an initiative to encourage, support, develop and potentially retain future leaders in Victorian rural and regional communities.

Chairman of directors, Rob Knowles, and the foundation’s rural manager, David Hatherell, recently released details of the scholarship programme and process.

The foundation is offering a number of tertiary study scholarships of up to $15,000 a year for the first three years of a chosen undergraduate course.

The foundation is calling all students who will undertake Year 12 studies in 2010, who display leadership qualities in their rural communities, who feel committed to their community and country life, and who may not be able to attend a university of their choice

without financial support.

Macpherson Smith Rural Foundation is a newly established arm of the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust, a well known independent philanthropic trust established by the late Helen Macpherson Smith.

For more than 50 years the trust has provided grants to a wide variety of charitable institutions and a diverse range of projects that seek to benefit and improve the lives of the people of Victoria.

The foundation has launched the scholarship programme after becoming concerned about the future of leadership in Victorian regional and rural communities.

Applications open on day one of term one, 2010, and close on May 31, 2010.

All necessary background information and application forms are available on the foundation website, visit www.msrf.org.au

Foundation chairman of directors, Rob Knowles, and rural manager, David Hatherell.

Featuring throughout January are a range of diverse works from artists, sculptures and photographers.

Exhibitions on display include: Ken Rooke’s linocut prints Rooke has recently discovered the medium of linocut printing and his work reveals fine detail in this modern depiction of his series Jesus and the Goths and The Playful Jesus. His artwork is also

Paul Angeloni – Environmental ‘found’ art Merging his artistic inspiration with a beachcomber’s eye, Aireys Inlet artist, Paul Angeloni, creates eclectic sculptures and 3D

art using objects discovered by chance. He gives new life to the raw flotsam of nature, or the lost objects of child’s play.

His work reminds us of the environmental imprint of a day at the beach.

Also on exhibition at Swell Arts are a range of works regional artists, including Susan Romyn, Darryl Fowler, Byron McCormack and Lindy Banner.

Explore our ghostly waters FEEL like a night out on the water, exploring and experiencing the mystery of the waters of Port Phillip Bay? If so, then an evening with Queenscliff Ghost Cruises is for you.

Come aboard the specialist cruise with internationally renowned psychic, Donna L Barnard, for an evening of food, fun and fright.

On November 20, 1940, the minesweeper The Goorangi was dispatched from Melbourne when it collided with a liner, Duntroon, carrying troops to Sydney.

As a result, 24 men, mostly members of the Royal Australian Naval Volunteer Reserve, lost their lives.

When the lifeboat Queenscliffe reached the scene of the disaster the crew found the minesweeper sunk in about 15 metres of water with only the tops of the masts visible.

Only six bodies were recovered, the rest buried in the remnants of the ship or lost in the depths of the infamous Port Phillip Heads, known as ‘The Rip’.

The Goorangi was the first Australian warship to be lost in the waters of Port Phillip Bay during World War II. During the cruise, Barnard will be investigating the tales and terror that unfolded on that dark mysterious night aboard The Goorangi. “After decades, the spirits from this maritime

disaster resinate and provide me the spine chilling terror each time I visit the resting place of The Goorangi and their spirits,� Barnard said.

The cruise, operated by Gamerec Charters, explores the hidden side of Port Phillip Bay and this infamous stretch of water locally known as the ‘Ships’ Graveyard‘ and the resting place of more than 40 wrecks, loss of life, ghostly lights and unexplained disappearances.

During the sunset cruise, people will learn about the magnificent barque which self destructed rather than allow a salvage effort rescue her from the reef upon which she had run aground, and also view the remote quarantine station, originally established as a centre for the diseased and dying.

The cruise will also venture near the mysterious ‘Bass Strait Triangle’, home to ghostly lights and unexplained disappearances.

The cruise lasts for 90 minutes and those taking part are encouraged to BYO food and drink.

The cruise boat is fully enclosed and heated and has a toilet on board.

Departure is from the new Queenscliff Marina, with upcoming cruise dates set down for Saturday, February 6 and Saturday, February 20. Numbers are strictly limited at 30 passengers per trip.

For more information and to book tickets, phone 5258 2802 or visit www.gamerec.com/ ghostcruise.html

Shadowy figures and spooky stories feature on a Queenscliff ghost tour.

Lucky couple walking on air Tuesday 26 January 2010

A HOLIDAY to the Surf Coast has proven an unforgettable experience for Kyle Clarke and Holly Lloyd.

Last week the couple were the one-millionth paying customer to visit the Otway Fly Tree Top Walk – winning a host of prizes, including a winter weekend escape.

“We knew today was the millionth visitor day and we jokingly said to each other ‘I wonder if it will be us’,” Clarke said.

“We’re excited and can’t believe we’ve won a weekend getaway. We hadn’t been to the Fly before and are mesmerised by how magnificent the area is.”

Clarke and Lloyd have been staying in Torquay and Apollo Bay during their holiday, and ventured to the tree top walk with Canadian friends, Jenn Caseley and Alex MacDonald.

“We don’t get this sort of forest back home,” Caseley said.

“It’s so cool… I can’t believe how spectacular it is, and you don’t realise how high you are until you look down.”

The tree top walk is the longest and highest steel structured canopy walk in the world.

“It’s great local visitors have brought international guests to the fly,” said Otway Fly general manager, Elaine Burrige.

“Locals are very important to us and Melbourne is just a stone’s throw away.

We like locals to come down and check it out.

It’s in your backyard and a great day out.”

As part of their prize, Clarke and Holly have won two nights accommodation (Friday and Saturday) at Chris’s at Beacon Point, including two fully cooked breakfasts and one dinner at Chris’s to the value of $200.

There is also lunch at Chill at the Bay to the value of $100 and an Apollo Bay day spa indulgence package for a couple valued at $320.

“We’ve been working hard to bring new attractions to The Otway Fly. We attract many return visitors and it’s nice to provide something new to see and do,” said Burridge.

“We’ve introduced Jungle Bungy, complementing the prehistoric walk and abseiling from the steel structure.

“The Otway fly is an iconic destination along the Great Ocean Road, and is the longest and highest tree top walk in the world.

“The Springboard cantilever bounces gently high over picturesque Young's Creek and provides a bird’s eye view of the temperate forest.”

For more information, phone 5235 9200 or visit www.otwayfly.com.au

Celebrating after being named the winners of the one-millionth visitor giveaway last week were (from left) Kyle Clarke, Holly Lloyd, Jenn Caseley and Alex MacDonald.

profiles on local tradies

The Surf Coast and Bellarine Peninsula have a number of highly skilled and qualified trades people. Here at the Surf Coast Times and Bellarine Times we thought we would introduce you to some of them and find out what the new year has brought them.

New in town Lighting up the world

STEVE Genn of MacCracken’s Electrical is more than your average electrician. He has a wealth of experience that has taken him to all corners of the world. Genn (left) has worked in China for BHP Billiton as well as upgrading the power station at one of the Australian bases in Antarctica. He recently moved to Jan Juc from Cape York in Queensland. Genn is able to service a wide range of electrical needs, including domestic, commercial, industrial, data and marine. He has always maintained his strong reputation for affordable rates with free quotes, no call out fees and prompt service. For more information, phone Steve Genn on 0427 328 176.

Plumbing with a green conscious ADRIAN Chiappini from Watersource Plumbing knows a plumbing problem when he sees one. Chiappini (right) has been in the industry for more than two decades and has worked on projects of all different scales, including providing work for Yarra Valley Water and Barwon Water. As an accredited green plumber, he has seen a marked increase in green plumbing. This has enabled him to specialise in solar hot water installation and water tanks. For more information, phone Adrian Chiappini on 0415 088 744.

LOCAL TRADIES Alex Wallace and David Ritter from GW Insulate

Nick Pickering from Surfcoast Balustrading

ALL YOUR insulation worries will be gone with the help of GW Insulate.

The business provides for new and existing homes, where they can also assist with the $1,200 government rebate. The company specialises only in insulation, ensuring that their service is efficient, they use the highest quality materials as well as affordable prices.

SURF Coast Balustrading is able to specialise in all types of balustrading – from handrails to privacy screening and pool fencing. There are two key factors that Pickering has seen increase his workload – the increase in population on the Surf Coast and safety requirements around pools and houses. Seniors have also benefitted from increased balustrading in the house. For more information, phone Surfcoast Balustrading on 0458 983 507.

Skills training the way to go

SURF Coast and Bellarine locals without postsecondary education should make it their new year’s resolution to go to TAFE or other training providers and get the skills they need to get the jobs they want.

For the 1.6 million Victorians without a postsecondary school education, skills training is an ideal resolution.

Ideally, locals can pick from a large range of choices at the Gordon Institute of Tafe in Geelong.

According to Skills and Workforce Participation Minister, Jacinta Allan, from this year the state government’s skills reforms would include guaranteed

government-supported places for people aged 20 to 24 years as the result of a federal and Victorian government agreement.

“Young Victorians will need skills now so they can have jobs for the future,” said Allan.

“The federal and Victorian government’s youth compact means we can now guarantee that Victorians aged between 20 and 24 years can study what they want, when they want, to get the jobs they want, with the support of both governments.

“There has never been a better time to get qualified.”

Allan added that skilled workers would place Victoria

and Australia as a much more competitive economy on a global scale.

“Today’s skills training is not the strict classroom environment that some people think it is,” she said.

“It is hands on, it is practical, it is widely desired by employers, and furthermore, more Victorians will be eligible to be supported by the government than before.”

Allan said the Victorian government’s skills reforms would offer more Victorians government-supported places and introduce a new loan scheme to help people undertake diplomas and advanced diplomas.

Fox control â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Edwards Point Wildlife Reserve 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 Wednesday 3 February 2010 until Friday 5 March 2010.

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

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 Stuart Willsher by calling Parks Victoria on 13 1963.

Crossword Solution

Rams can be incredibly romantic, so now’s the time to pamper your lover with a candle-lit dinner or surprise getaway. Singles – it may feel like one step forward and two steps back but persistence will win out in the end. Saturday’s fiery combination of a Leo Full Moon and Sun/ Mars opposition is a combustible, accident-prone mix so be careful.

With lucky Venus in your career zone (until February 11) it’s the ideal time to improve your work conditions. You could apply for a promotion, bonus or raise, plus give your office/work area a makeover. Single Bulls – love and work are cosmically connected. So don’t forget to put extra lipstick or cologne in your briefcase – just in case!

This week, the worst thing you can do is be bored. Your quicksilver mind is crying out for stimulation so start studying up a storm – or just amuse others with your entertaining stories and zingy one-liners!

With lucky Jupiter on your side, you have a chance to make your mark at work but only if you have the confidence to step up to the plate.

Thursday will be a tricky day as Pluto, Saturn and Mercury stir up relationship issues. Nothing a clever Crab can’t handle though! Avoid finalising important financial transactions on the weekend as you’re liable to make decisions based purely on your emotions – which will fluctuate wildly under the influence of the Full Moon.

Have you been giving your partner their moment in the Sun? If you haven’t, they may get a little antsy about you always hogging the limelight. Single Lions – it’s time to go on the prowl, looking for love. Saturday’s Full Moon in Leo is a major astrological aspect for bushfires so, if you are in a high-risk area, take extra precautions.

Your weekends are usually organised with military precision as you squeeze every last drop out of the limited time available. Saturday’s fiery Full Moon is about to toss your timetable out the window, as chaos and sudden surprises ruin your routine.

JAN 26-FEB 1 2010

Mid-week you are uncharacteristically impulsive when it comes to love. It’s time to ditch the gentleman/lady-like image and instead slip into super-sexy mode and make a bold romantic move! If you haven’t set goals for 2010, the weekend is the perfect time to do so as the Full Moon activates your hopes, dreams and wishes zone.

Are you totally obsessed about a project (or person) at work? Tension is brewing between your high, exacting standards, and the more fluid, intuitive approach of someone else. Be more flexible and try to see both sides of the situation. On the weekend expect dramatic developments to do with the big two – sex and money.

Be selective about who you mix with on Thursday and Friday, as you’ll pick up other people’s moods like a sponge. Saturday’s Full Moon sees you at your Scorpio best – and worst. Dramatic and demanding; sexy and secretive; passionate and possessive. You’ll be thrust into the public spotlight as you cause a stir wherever you go.

You’re keen for radical change but don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Some aspects of your life are due for a major overhaul but there are other things that it would be wise not to tamper with them. You need to make selective changes – not wreck everything!

With Venus in your sign, you’re at your fabulous, flirtatious best.

You’re in an ‘all-or-nothing’ kind of mood. Moderation and common sense go out the window as you overdo just about everything, and make every mistake in the book – but you’ll have a lot of fun along the way. Your quote for the next seven days is courtesy of birthday great Colette “You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm”.

Fish are compassionate, friendly folk who love helping others but don’t overdo it this week or you’ll end up overworked and underappreciated. With four planets in your soul sector, you’re in the mood for activities like yoga, tai chi, meditation and contemplation as you tune into the wonderful mystery that is you!

A tip top battle

BY SARAH LAWRENCE

IN 43 years of competition, only once has there been a draw between the Victorian and Californian Life Saving teams in the Wieland Shield.

Last weekend, the teams competed at Bancoora and Ocean Grove, proving to be a tough competition that resulted in a draw.

“It was a tip top battle we had. To be one point from victory is a great feeling,” said Californian team manager, Jay Butki.

“Normally we are stronger on the first day but we finished four points down. It was good to make a comeback on the second day.”

The competition takes place every two years, rotating between California and Victoria. The idea was conceived during Melbourne’s 1956 Olympic Games and first officially held in 1967.

During their two weeks in Australia, some of the team also got the chance to compete in the Pier to Pub.

“They were overwhelmed and baffled by the Pier to Pub, especially the high calibre of sportsmanship,” Butki said.

The main difference between American and Australian Surf Life Saving is that there is no volunteer service in America. Instead of clubs they are based on lifeguard agencies.

“The recent Anglesea carnival had around 1,100 competitors. At our national championships, we only have about 500 senior competitors,” said Butki.

“Finding a competitive team to go against is hard. That’s one of the reasons we come over to Australia.

“We have 55 million beachgoers annually and do 10,000 rescues. We get more visitors than Disneyland. Because so many people attend the LA beaches, flags are used only to separate surfers and swimmers.”

The next Wieland Shield will be held in 2012 in California.

Lonsdale Golf Club’s Pro-Am attracted interest from across Australia, with acclaimed professional Craig Parry taking part in the tournament. Parry, pictured with Lonsdale Golf Club manager Colin Fraser, struggled to make an impact but certainly succeeded in raising the profile of the event. New South Wales pro, Grant Scott, won the Lonsdale event, just one day after claiming the Curlewis Pro-Am crown. The amateur men’s event was won by Vaughan Thomson, with Lonsdale’s Bernie Crane runner-up. The women’s amateur event was won by Lonsdale’s Tayna McGann with Lorel Larcombe runner-up.

Take the blue water challenge ONE OF the Bellarine’s most popular open water swims, the Queenscliff Blue Water Challenge, is on this Saturday.

The 1.2-kilometre event is organised by the Boroughcoutas Swimming Club, and will see the first competitors hitting the waters from Queenscliff Pier at midday – with registration times from 8.30am-11am.

The profits from the swim are donated back to the Bellarine and Geelong swimming community by way of a Junior Scholarship Programme for local swimmers.

The latest recipient of the sponsorships is Harriet Brown, who has had an impressive open

water swim year, including wins in the Lorne Pier to Pub and the Anglesea Rock2Ramp.

Included on Saturday will be the junior events, with a 600-metre race for the 12-13 year age group to introduce them to open water swimming.

The Helen Shepherd Encouragement Award for the juniors will be up for grabs, in memory of the dedicated club member who passed away four years ago.

The club also has an open age 600m ‘dash for cash’ with $200 on offer for the winner.

LONSDALE GOLF CLUB

BY DOUG MARCH

Return of the pro am The return of the pro am to Lonsdale last Tuesday was a resounding success with big fields including 65 professional golfers with Craig Parry as the lead identity. This event was preceded on the Monday by the Curlewis Pro Am, with both clubs working in a collaborative fashion. Indeed there was a combined prize opportunity for those competing in both events, which was taken out by Lonsdale’s Felix Hakins with a combined Stableford score of 68 Stableford points.

Grant Scott from NSW won the Lonsdale Professional competition with a fine 6 under 65 for 18 holes, just one better than Adam Porker from Victoria. A total of 18 players bettered par.

EXCITING news around the traps this week with reports of stripy tuna (skipjack) being caught between Barwon Heads and Rye for the first time in more than three decades.

For the first time since the 1970s, skipjack is being caught within three kilometres of shore – with most reports coming in that they are being hooked between the 30 and 50-metre mark off shore.

It has been confirmed that the catches are not bonito, as bonito have stripes all over their bodies as well as small conical teeth, which the skipjack don’t have.
