KEEP IT LOCAL Surf Coast businesses and residents are being urged to get behind a new initiative that aims to support local retailers, manufacturers, suppliers and producers

BY NATHAN HALE A NEW campaign aimed at encouraging people to shop locally is set to be launched in Torquay. Transition Torquay is behind the push to produce a Live Local Shop Local publication, which will showcase the goods and services on offer throughout the region. The concept already has the backing of the Surf Coast Shire and the Torquay Commerce and Tourism Association. Transition Torquay’s Julia Brangwyn, said the idea was to encourage people to “discover and enjoy the vast array of local Surf Coast goods and services�. “We want to help people find what they need locally with the added bonus of reducing carbon emissions from transport,� she said.

“There is so much quality produce on our doorstep or at the farm gate it deserves to be showcased to local residents as well as tourists. “This helps support other initiatives like the ‘Share the Bounty’ produce swap and the clothing swaps that have been happening in the region.� Transition Torquay is a community group who is raising awareness of peak oil and climate change issues, while looking to develop local solutions to global problems. The project has been funded through a community grant from Surf Coast Shire Council. “It’s a great initiative, because it not only supports local business and primary producers, but it also reduces the travel and greenhouse emissions involved in getting produce and goods delivered,� said shire mayor, Libby Coker.

Surf Forecast

“Buying locally reduces freight costs for consumers and greenhouse emissions used in transport. “It also puts money back into our region’s economy, so it makes a lot of sense to support the environment, local people and in the long run, your hip pocket. “If you’re a local producer, have a home-based business, a local artist or run a small business, I encourage you to get involved.� The project is in its infancy at the moment, and Brangwyn is keen to hear from all local producers who would like to be listed in the publication. She said businesses from every background were encouraged to submit their details – from farm-gate sellers, information technology specialists, home businesses, market stallholders, as well as goods such as food, plants, music, craft and gifts. Brangwyn said that apart from being a useful tool

for visitors to the region, the publication would also act as an important guide for locals. “I am sure there are a lot of people who live locally who don’t really know or appreciate the goods and services we have on offer in the region,� she said. “If we can get something out there that would let everyone know, it would be great for not only the local producers, but for the entire community.� Brangwyn also said a website to complement the printed publication is being considered. Any business interested in the project can pick up an application form from Torquay’s IGA supermarket notice board, from the Surf Coast Shire Offices or at Spring Creek Community House. Alternatively, they can email Julia Brangwyn at jgs@aapt.net.au or phone her on 0410 441 589. All applications need to be returned by April 30.

IF YOU are interested in road safety on the Surf Coast and have ideas about things that are working well or could be improved, I invite you to get involved in the development of Council’s Road Safety Strategy for 2010-2013. The strategy will help guide road safety improvements for all road users in the municipality. Community meetings will be held at: • Anglesea and Aireys Inlet Senior Citizens Club from 4pm on Monday, April 19 • Lorne Senior Citizens Centre from 7pm on Monday, April 19 • Winchelsea Senior Citizens Centre from 4pm on Wednesday, April 21 • Torquay Senior Citizens Centre from 7pm on Wednesday, April 21. If you’re interested in attending, please contact Kate Benning at council on 5261 0675 to lodge your RSVP. Alternatively, you can find a feedback form under the Latest News tab on the homepage of council’s website, visit www.surfcoast.vic.gov.au

A better Whites Beach, a better Torquay Esplanade

Plans for important road safety upgrades on the Torquay Esplanade between Darian Road and Horseshoe Bend Road; and to community facilities and access points at Whites Beach are now on exhibition. The plans include new safer pedestrian access points for Whites Beach, improved drainage in the area, shelter and barbecue facilities and improved low-level landscaping that will improve the quality of vegetation as well as informal recreation space. As part of the Esplanade upgrade plans, bicycle lanes and formally marked car parks are proposed

to increase safety for cyclists and other road users. The plans are available at council’s Grossmans Road Service Centre, or can be seen online at www. surfcoast.vic.gov.au/onexhibition.htm Submissions are due in by Friday, May 31.

A word on beach safety‌

Last week I received a number of reports of people being stranded on beach walks by rising tides and, of even greater concern, some attempting to climb highly unstable cliffs to get to safety. Recently, surf life savers have been involved in difficult rescues; dragging stranded walkers into boats near cliffs. With the growing number of storm surges we are seeing, this could create more safety risks for walkers. If you are planning a long beach walk, always make sure you know when high and low tide are if there is a risk of being stranded. Also avoid climbing or heading near unstable cliffs as these, particularly around spells of unstable weather, are particularly dangerous. If there’s a risk of being stranded, make sure you can complete your beach walk before the tide comes in.

Pro surfing comes home!

The swell wasn’t necessarily reliable, but it didn’t dampen the fun and excitement of the 49th Rip Curl Pro; which marked another great step forward in the running of this world-class professional event. Congratulations to all surfers who competed for putting on a great show and doing so in wonderful spirit, particularly to Steph Gilmore, who is a fantastic ambassador for Australian sport and Kelly Slater who rang the bells after some intense competition in varying conditions. It was great in the lead-up to the event to get a first-hand look at its operation. The logistical effort

to run the Rip Curl Pro on the Bells site in a manner that is sensitive to the local environment is indeed impressive. International pro surfing is now a multimillion dollar operation and the effort that is gone to in order to bring the show home to Bells cannot be understated. After the opening day it was great to attend a Civic Reception for the event which included great supporters of the event and Bells with great surfing names like Layne Beachley as well as representatives from local councils, Minister for Sport, Recreation and Youth James Merlino, local members Michael Crutchfield and Darren Cheeseman. There was certainly a lot of surfing expertise in the room and many great stories were shared. A highlight was seeing Tom Curran and Mark Occhilupo talk with Neil Ridgeway of Rip Curl about their 1986 battle at Bells that started a long running friendly rivalry that has remained renowned in the sport. Surfing Victoria, in particular, should be commended for the action they have taken to slash the event’s environmental footprint; through diverting waste from landfill and by offsetting event travel through a partnership with Greening Australia. We trust that, through the Bells Beach Masterplan that council will put on public exhibition shortly, we will be able to work with our partners and the community to ensure everything about Bells we now hold dear continues to resonate for future generations – not just at Easter, but all year round.

Clarke announces GORCC resignation BY NATHAN HALE GREAT Ocean Road Coast Committee boss, David Clarke, has announced his resignation. After five years in the top job, Clarke said it was a time for a change. In a week of changes, GORCC chairman, Peter Anderson, also resigned from his post. “It has been great fun and I have really enjoyed my time,â€? Clarke said. “It hasn’t always been easy‌ but there is a sense that we have come a long way and achieved quite a lot during the time.â€? Clarke was appointed as the organisation’s inaugural chief executive officer in 2005, and has played an integral part in the ongoing upgrade works to the Torquay Caravan Park. “Upgrades to the caravan park were one of our main priorities – as it provides 80 per cent of our revenue base – which all goes back into coastal management and associated projects,â€? he said.

“We have upgraded the old infrastructure, which was not up to scratch; improved on-site facilities; put in a new amenities block and now we are undertaking the power upgrade.� Outgoing chairman, Anderson, paid tribute to Clarke’s efforts during his five-year stint. “David has provided strong leadership to the organisation and has had an excellent relationship with the committee, staff, stakeholders and the general public,� he said. “During the time David has been CEO, GORCC has been able to improve its levels of service in managing and maintaining the coast and has strengthened its financial position.� Clarke said he does not have another position to go to at the moment but is looking forward to another challenge. He will remain with GORCC until June and will help oversee the placement of the new chief executive officer. The committee has appointed an acting chairman, John Carlile, who has served on the committee since 2007.

News in brief Special council meeting

SURF Coast Shire will hold a special meeting of council tomorrow night to discuss planning controls in the West Coast Business Park. Mayor, Libby Coker, said the special meeting, to be held at 6pm, would discuss the clarification of a number of planning issues in the business park. “Council has identified the need to clarify planning policy as it applies to the assessment of individual applications lodged in the business park,� she said. “It is important that these issues are addressed as development in the business park begins.�

Have your say on Schoolies LOCAL residents will be able to have their say on Schoolies celebrations with the release of a new survey. Surf Coast Shire is looking for residents’ feedback on the annual influx of school leavers that happens throughout the Surf Coast every November. Shire mayor, Libby Coker, said council is seeking feedback from residents about major issues that arise during celebrations, whether current campaigns and initiatives are working and community attitudes towards school leavers. “Over recent years, we’ve established really strong partnerships with emergency services, residents’

groups, tourism operators, youth organisations and other local groups who do an enormous amount of great work behind the scenes in the lead up to and during school leavers’ celebrations,� Coker said. The survey is web-based, with hard copies also available from council’s Grossmans Road offices. The survey can be accessed at www. surveymonkey.com/s/surfcoastimpact and is available in hard copy form from community houses in Lorne, Anglesea, Torquay, Winchelsea and Deans Marsh and at council’s Grossmans Road Customer Service Centre. Responses will be taken until Friday, June 18.

Networking at night BY NATHAN HALE YOU HAVE no doubt heard of speed dating – but what about speed networking? Biz Break – a Torquay-based networking group for local business people – is holding the town’s first speed networking evening on Monday, April 19. To be held at Zeallys Restaurant at 35 The Esplanade at 6pm, the evening is open to all business people who are looking to expand their contact lists. “Speed networking allows you

This year, the organisation is following a more structured programme, holding a formal meeting on the last Tuesday of the month, with the emphasis on networking.

Lions help keep feet happy THE BARWON Health podiatrists at the Surf Coast Community Health Centre now have a state of the art podiatry treatment couch, thanks to the Lions Club of Torquay. Lions Club president, Trevor Secombe, said the treatment couch was provided by the club through a donation of more than $5,000 to Barwon Health. “We heard the podiatry clinic needed a new treatment couch and our members agreed unanimously that we would provide the funds for the latest electronically driven couch available,� he said. “The new couch is far more comfortable for clients at the podiatry clinic at Torquay but it also enables the podiatrists to care better

for their patients by placing them in ideal positions for treatment of specific conditions.� Carol Mioduchowski, Barwon Health’s primary care co-ordinator at the centre, said the three podiatrists at Torquay care for more than 1,500 clients each year. “Our clients come from as far afield as Eastern View on the Great Ocean Road, Mount Duneed, Winchelsea, Grovedale and the Torquay region,� she said. “Our podiatrists provide care for people with foot and walking concerns, foot pain, heel pain, diabetes assessments related to the feet and orthotics for those with special needs including footwear modifications and treatment for people who need regular care.�

Shire’s coastal concerns SURF Coast Shire will explore uncharted waters after receiving a planning application for a complex of four shops – including a supermarket – in Aireys Inlet. Council has asked Sincock Planning to complete a Coastal Hazard Assessment for the proposed development – which backs on to Painkalac Creek – as a result of guidelines in the Victorian Coastal Strategy.

This strategy, and a number of recent VCAT decisions regarding future coastal hazards outside Surf Coast Shire, have led council to seek a Coastal Hazard Assessment on the proposal; a request Sincock Planning has agreed to. The application has been advertised with available information that relates to considerations like amenity and traffic management to enable community input on these issues.

Shire mayor, Libby Coker, said council would not be making a decision on the proposal until public submissions have been reviewed and a range of technical information that council has requested, including the assessment, were received. Coker said as a result it is likely a final decision may be delayed. “Council has received more than 100 public submissions to the proposal, which indicates a really

strong level of community interest,� Coker said. “A development such as a supermarket is an as-of-right use in land zoned Business 1 such as the bottom shops at Aireys. Council is therefore required to consider the application on the basis of it being four shops. “Factors like car parking, built form and how it relates to Aireys Inlet’s character and the surrounding environment will all be considered in the determination of the planning application – just as they are considered as part of the normal planning process. “Because of the Victorian Coastal Strategy and its guidelines on climate change, we have asked the proponent to complete a Coastal Hazard Assessment because of the site’s low elevation and proximity to the creek. “This is in a sense uncharted waters as far as planning goes on the Surf Coast, and an issue that must be addressed carefully as part of the decision-making process. “I want to reassure everyone with an interest in this application that council will follow its normal planning processes in carefully assessing the proposal against relevant planning considerations and anyone who has made a written submission will be kept informed as to when council will make a decision.�

Stars on show at The Sands FORMER professional golfer and MasterChef contestant, Lucas Parsons, will be on hand to cook up a storm at The Sands in Torquay this Friday. Parsons will not hit the golf course for The Handbury Classic – instead providing a taste of the food that made him one of the most respected budding chefs on the hit television show, MasterChef.

“Yeah, I am really looking forward to it… it is a lovely part of the world. I have been to Barwon Heads and Torquay and they are beautiful,” he said. “I’m going to do a dessert, probably something cooler, a wintry kind of dish like a chocolate fondant with raspberry coulis.” Parsons runs a café in a bookstore and said the MasterChef experience – while testing

and stressful at times – was fun and a great experience. “The actual MasterChef experience was fun,” he said. “My interests have changed more into the food than the golf. The café is in a bookstore and it’s all about the coffee – I’ve always wanted to get into hospitality after golf. “I have a love of food and the culture of food – whether it is coffee, food or even wine – it is all relative to the area and culture you’re in.” Parsons will not be the only celebrity for the event, with Brian Nankervis from SBS television’s RockWiz, on hand to host the auction. The auction will be part of a luncheon – which is open to the public with tickets still available. The luncheon will be held from 12.30pm, followed by the auction, with all moneys raised going to local charities. Highlights of the auction will be five high-end items, including: • Two tickets to a Geelong Football Club President’s Lunch prior to a home game, courtesy of Frank Costa • Two fishing adventures with Gamerec Fishing Tours, Queenscliff • An Aboriginal artwork that is part of a special collection displayed at The Sands • A side of beef from Frank Herd at MC Herd Meats, with more than $1,000 worth of highgrade beef packaged by Todd Wynter at Geelong Select Meats • Willie Wildlife Sculpture Bird Bath in bronze. The bird bath was displayed at last year’s prestigious Chelsea Flower Show in London and is valued at $2,750. For more information or to book a ticket for the luncheon, phone The Sands on 5264 3304.

Probus Club celebrations TORQUAY’S Probus Club has a new president, with David Cheatley being inducted into the position at a special presentation which celebrated the club’s fourth birthday. Cheatley, one of the foundation members of the combined men’s and women’s club, takes up the position for the next 12 months. Special guest at the meeting was Perry Crosswhite, chief executive officer of the Australian Commonwealth Games Association. “The club started in 2006 with the aim of having a place where a group of retired business professionals can get together for fun, friendship and fellowship,” Cheatley said. “We are not for profit – we don’t raise funds – but we have a lot of former Lions and Rotary people who have been in that type of environment and they are just looking to kick back and relax.”

The perfect spa retreat WITH Mother’s Day just around the corner, what better way to pamper your mum than to send her to Saltair Spa? The Torquay-based business has recently changed hands, but new owner Tammy Grossman – who has taken over from her sister, Christine – said it is business as usual at the popular retreat. Tammy has a decade of experience working in spas and the health and beauty industry, and is happy to be back home on the Surf Coast. “I spent seven years at Camp Eden in the Currumbin Valley on the Gold Coast, and also two years in a five-star Japanese resort,” she said. “During that time I worked in message therapy, beauty therapy and beauty training, as well as doing some chef work. “It is great to be back in Torquay and I am really looking forward to continuing on with the business.” While Mother’s Day always ensures a busy May, Tammy said there are plenty of other offers available to keep customers happy. Throughout the month of May, Saltair Spa is offering an Autumn Reflection Special – which is a two-and-a-half hour treatment and pampering session. Included among the treatments are a foot soak, desert salt exfoliation, body mud wrap, hydrotherapy spa session and a 60-minute reharmonising full body massage. For Mother’s Day, the Pure Sweet special is a two-hour package that includes a body exfoliation with desert salts, a Vichy shower, nourishing skin body lotion, deep ocean renewal facial with scalp treatment and a decadent hand and foot massage. “We have different packages to suit all needs,” Tammy said. “One of the popular packages is the Bridal Package. It is a bit different in that it includes six monthly treatments which can be used in the lead-up to your wedding day.”

Kellie Dew and Tammy Grossman help provide the perfect getaway at Grossman’s Saltair Spa.

While women are well catered for at Saltair Spa, men have not been forgotten either. There are individual packages available for men, as well as couples packages – which include overnight accommodation to ensure you get the most out of your pampering package.

Along with the massages and facials, Saltair Spa also offers spray tans and colon hydrotherapy. Gift vouchers are also available and the spa is proud to use all-Australian and all-organic products. For more information, phone 5261 9977 or visit the new website at www.saltairspa.com

“I would say that the ratio of women to men is about 60-40,” Tammy said. “We get a lot of men come in and there are a range of options for them as well – from massages to remedial treatments. “We also cater for men’s facials.”

offers affordable and accessible care to help meet the individual needs of older people, people with a disability and their carers to help them remain living independently. The programme is jointly funded by the Australian and Victorian governments. This additional funding is part of an $18.5million funding package for more than 700 projects across the state. “The HACC programme provides the practical assistance that allows people to remain independent,

in their own homes and communities rather than moving prematurely into permanent residential care,” Cheeseman said. “The HACC funding boost will provide 10,000 more nursing hours and 22,000 more respite hours across Victoria. “Vulnerable Victorians will also receive an additional 77,000 extra hours of social support, 40,000 more hours of personal care and an additional 40,000 hours of domestic assistance.”

The HACC programme is delivering minor capital for HACC Personal Care and funding for a one-off service development project, administered by the Surf Coast Shire. The programme is also funding schemes for Lorne Community Hospital and for Hesse Rural Health Services in Winchelsea. “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,” Cheeseman said.

Store’s support for local farmers A BAVARIAN butcher is to thank for Lorne’s FoodWorks supermarket supporting local farmers. Rudi Antesberger moved to Australia in 2006 and as soon as he joined the Lorne business, he was adamant the meat fridges would be stocked with high-quality, local free-range beef. Antesberger has worked with Great Otway Regional to source a range of quality beef from farms in the Otway Ranges. Great Otway Regional products are not lot fed or genetically modified and are also hormone free. According to Antesberger, sourcing local “free range” beef is not only a benefit to the customer, but also the local economy and community.

He also said the company manages the most human practices in the industry. “The emphasis is on stress minimisation and humane cattle handling,” Antesberger said. “This is obviously better for cattle and improves the quality and tenderness of the end product for customers. “By sourcing local meat from suppliers such as Great Otway Regional we can support local sustainable growers while providing our customers with a quality, good value product.” To ensure high-quality meat for his customers, Antesberger makes a weekly visit to select the best stock, with the exact type of cattle depending on what’s

available from the farms on a weekly basis. He changes the selection nearly every week and marks the type of beef so customers know what they are buying; one week it might be Black Angus yearling, the next a different breed from another farm. After being processed in Kyneton, the beef is delivered to the store where it is aged and cut by Antesberger and his team. “I have one other butcher to work with me to age the beef and cut it to suit our customers,” he said. “I also can arrange complimentary eskys to transport back to the customer’s home, whether it be Lorne, Aireys Inlet, Melbourne or even Singapore, like we Rudi Antesberger with a selection of the free range meat on offer at Lorne have done in the past.” FoodWorks.

coast community environment

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 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 industrial areas. The amendment does nothing more than to allow 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. Joe Remenyi Surf Coast Shire councillor

Is it time for a change? 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.

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 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. Bob Wilson Jan Juc

Book clubs come together Dear Editor, One of the problems in Torquay in the literary area is that there are book groups scattered around – some in public meeting places and some in private homes. It was a topic at our last steering committee meeting and I was told that I would never be able to contact them without putting a notice in the paper! We are getting good authors coming to our festival in June and it would be a great place to get the book groups all together to swap the books that they are reading, and ideas. So we are calling all book groupies in Torquay. Would you like to interact with other groups in Torquay? Would you like to swap book titles that you have liked reading and discussing? Would you like to help with the Froth and Bubble Literary Festival on the weekend of June 19-20 at Torquay College? If anyone is interested in becoming involved in the Froth and Bubble Festival, or for more information, phone John Adams on 5261 2899 or email frothnbubble@torquay.vic.au John Adams Torquay

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.� The spacious, modern school has a purpose-built gymnasium, plans for a developmental inquiry

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.� Clifton Springs PS is inviting parents of 2011 Preps to take a fresh look at the school and see the opportunities it offers under its new motto ‘Innovate, engage, excel’.

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. For more information, phone Rosie Richardson on 0424 226 388 or visit www.portakalturkeytours. com

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.

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

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.� For more information or for a no obligation market appraisal, phone Scott Hunt on 0431 474 721 or email scott@bfp.net.au

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

Kirk’s lucky break BY NATHAN HALE

Kirk is already planning his next move – which includes a tour of Western Australia – and possibly an international sojourn. “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€? Kirk said. “I sold over 1,200 CDs from the 35 shows, so it was a good tour. “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 play‌ maybe even overseas.â€? Having played at Left off the Rocks previously, Kirk knows what to expect at the popular venue. “It’s a pretty good, chilled out crowd at Left off the Rocks, so I am looking forward to getting down there,â€? Kirk said. “I will be playing mainly originals. I will do a few covers, but I like to do covers that people haven’t really heard. “That way it is like you are playing originals and you really have to sell the songs to people because they don’t know them.â€? Starting out with a folk feel to his music, Kirk has evolved into more of a blue/roots artist, and has enjoyed great success. He won the 2006 Basin Music Festival Youth Songwriting Competition and was a top five finalist at the 2008 Queenscliff Music Festival, in the Foot In The Door Competition in the Blues/Roots and Beyond division.

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 – 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 Torquay’s Left off the Rocks this Friday and the Blues Train on the Bellarine on Saturday. “I was pretty big on sport when I was a teenager,â€? the 22-year-old said. “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€? That bit of musical inspiration was the first time Kirk has explored his artistic side since he was a toddler. “When I was young I used to do impersonations of Michael Jackson,â€? he said. “That was my first musical expression‌ and it didn’t really come out again until I was 16.â€? Although he admits to still learning and evolving as a musician, Kirk’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.

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 don’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 – even better than a sausage sizzle – 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 I’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 I’m sure you’ve seen them already ‘butterflied’ 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 ‘overcooking’ 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 you’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. You’ll be amazed at how little time it takes to steam a whole fish. One thing I’m not good at is rigging up a fishing line; hence my option is always to visit my favourite local seafood supplier and it’s usually only when I actually see what’s on offer that I make a decision as to what I’ll choose – and there is always so much to choose from. Talk to your fishmonger and seek advice on best buys – they can usually offer some cooking suggestions and once again, be a bit daring and try something you’ve not had before. But back to the small fish! The sardines on display in the shop appealed to me and I’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 – there’s still time to enjoy a salad such as this‌ and then sneak up on the bigger fish soon.

Ingredients For the salad nicoise

*I like to use Thomy mayo, or Cardini’s Caesar Dressing – both available at the supermarket.

TIME is running out to see Geelong Gallery’s Art unlimited selected works 2010 exhibition. The selection of works from the Art unlimited studio – an access studio for artists with a disability – reflects the strengths and diversity of the studio’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 ‘Outsider Art’: 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. In the past, Geelong Gallery has supported

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 Brookes’ Photographic Union exhibition, which will remain on display until May 16. Drawn from the gallery’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 region’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 George’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 – 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 Brookes’ Photographic Union, was issued as a companion to an earlier volume Gippsland through the camera. Entry to the gallery is free and for more information, phone 5229 3645 or visit www.geelonggallery.org.au

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 – 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 – such as milk, butter, sugar, tea, and coffee – 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.

“I had driven through Aireys Inlet but never really visited properly until I moved down here in 2008,� she said. “I realised there wasn’t a store open late at night to pop to and get something, and I also found that there wasn’t anyone supplying holiday homes and cottages with fresh supplies. “There was a gap in the market to supply quality, fine food to holiday homes and self-contained cottages throughout the area.� 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 doesn’t need to be limited to holiday-makers. “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,� she said. “The packages can be selected online at the website and delivery booked. “I deliver from Torquay right down to Lorne and all of the produce is sourced, where possible, from local people.� For more information on Provisions by Holly and to see packages available, phone Holly Evans on 0418 322 790 or visit www.provisionsbyholly.com.au

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 he’s becoming renowned at the Deck Restaurant in Highton, with gold coin donations, musician’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 – 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 Torquay’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. “It’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,� he said. “But it’s always nice to come home and play a really warm venue like The Deck in support of a great cause.� For more information on Mattski or to hear some of his music, visit www.myspace.com/ mattskimuzak or www.mattski. com.au

“It’s nice to do something special to launch an album you’ve worked hard on for a long time, so I’m pleased to support a great local cause through this event,� he said. “Playing music to people is a great privilege, so it’s nice to be able to not only give on stage, but to give something back in this way. “Music is in many ways about working through difficulties in life, which is what Rainbow Riders helps young people do.� Horizon For A Friend is a 13-track release that refines Mattski’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 Mattski’s debut release, Ramshackle Beach.

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

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 – 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. “Computers are like cars. They need to be serviced due to things like viruses and dust build up,� 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

WARDROBE Works is a division of Robinsons – 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 Lee’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. “Our wardrobe systems are an up-market and wall mounted system,� said Rhys. “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.� According to Erika Madzar, sales and design co-ordinator, customers are often thrilled with how it changes their lives. “Basically, when I talk to customers it’s about organising their lives. They say they feel so more organised as it creates storage in small and large places. “We create practical environments for extra storage for clients. It’s organising storage. The products are also Australian made and manufactured.� For more information call Wardrobe Works on 5277 0788 or visit www.wardrobeworks. com.au

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 – a nine-time world champion – 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 – Bells Beach, 13th Beach, Winkipop and Johanna – 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 ‘alley-oop’ 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 – a lead that Fanning would not surpass. “It was a lot more difficult than it looked out there,� Slater said. “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. “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.� 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 ‘alley-oop’ manoeuvre which helped him secured his fourth Rip Curl Pro title. Photo: ERIK HOLT

The team has another four rounds to be played and in that time the Friday Pennant rounds will start and finish before they do. Easter Monday Another busy Easter weekend drew to a close with a full field on Monday. Robin Adamson won the women’s event with 39 points and Ros Holland was runner up with 35 points.

WHAT’s your new handicap? Did you lose strokes? How much did you go out by? They were the standard questions last Saturday as players came to grips with the new rolling handicap system. Generally speaking the lower particularly the single handicap player remained the same or lost a stroke or two which is their “reward” for consistent golf. The higher handicapper or as some would suggest the “hacker” has been penalised as a result of inconsistent play. There are stories of some players having an adjustment to their handicap of up to six and seven strokes. The first round of the mixed foursomes was played last Sunday. It was great to see such a strong number participating. Who said foursomes is not a popular

Jarryd McGuane is making the most of his school holidays accumulating some very good rounds during the break. He scored 46 points to win B grade and Terry Hope had the same score to win C grade. Andrew Daffy had a modest 42 points to win A grade. NTPs were Frank Fowler, Paul Edgley, Peter Hester and Sandy Talbot. Thursday was the Captain vs President match play event for the womens, and in the 23 matches the captain’s team was successful in 11 – including the captain, Rhelma, herself, the president’s team won 10 matches and two were squared.

There were 170 players participating for Wednesday’s stableford event. In div 1 Nick Ivens with 41 pts beat Brad Green with 39. Geoff Davie with 44 pts won div 2 from Chris Madden from Warrnambool GC 43 pts. Angelo Facchini with 39 won div 3 on c/b from Ken Reddrop. In div 3 Phil Humphries with 44 pts beat home Glyn Pitt 40.

Weekend Competition Not only was Saturday monthly medal, but it was the first day with the new handicapping system. It made for some interesting discussion and a lot of traffic on the Golflink website as everyone tried to check their handicap. Winner of the men’s medal for April was Scott Saunders with a sensation one under round of 72 giving him a nett 63 and the A grade win. Peter Morgan also had a great score with a nett 66 winning C grade and Peter Atherden won B grade on a countback from Graeme Mills both scoring nett 71. For the women, Dianne West had the best score winning the women’s medal and div 3 with nett 67. Rhelma Barnett had her second win for the week with nett 70 winning div 2 and Gloria Hodgkison won div 1 with nett 73. NTPs were Scott Saunders, Garry

Beurteaux, Michael Barron and Steve Sinnott, and Greg Davis had an eagle on the 8th. Anglesea hosted the district Presidents and Captains event on Sunday and a small field allowed for a few members to join in. The men’s club event was won by Ray Shaw and the ladies by Marg Hales, both scoring 39 points. NTPs were Marg Hales, Sandy Talbot, Neville Henderson and Richard Hammett. In the district event our club representatives used their local knowledge to great effect. Peter and Marion Atherden were the winning captain’s team and John Brady and Beatrice Stephens were runners up to Portarlington in the event. Well I’m off for a little holiday in the Big Apple and Mrs D will be keeping you all amused over the next few weeks.

done to Doug Thomas for his eagle on the 14th. Bill Booth won the jackpot with the NTP’s going to Ron Campbell, Paul Simmons and Gary Watson.

limitation for our lady president, Pamela Brewin, who is proudly sporting the April monthly medal after an excellent round on Tuesday. It was a good day for Pamela to hit form, as she will now be our club representative at the SWDLGA Rene Austin playoff at The Sands on June 28. RACV, CEO Colin Jordan was a surprise guest at presentation on Tuesday and it was great to get details of the progress on the course development first hand from him Marg Ganley took the 9-hole comp this week and Sheena Sholton picked up the Jackpot. NTPs went to Sue Barnes, Gay Bell and Jill Chick. Mandy Buckley won the putting. Playing stroke with gross scores counting div 4 was won by Marg Bath Pamela took div 3 and the medal Jenny Mc Gaw picked up div 3 and Mandy was the div 1 winner.

Saturday women’s Helen Paull won with 40 pts from Heather Dixon 37 pts. NTP’s went to Lyn Moore, Ainsley McCallum and Helen Haeberle. From the women’s room The excellent weather over Easter and the lack of waves at Bells meant our course was kept busy as surf stars filled in their idle hours attempting a different sport. With all the twisting and turning they do in the water its no wonder they could pivot and hit the ball better than most. It is a long held rule of thumb that when you serve on the ladies committee your golf suffers somewhat, no such

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...
