alls Creek has celebrated the falling of pre-season snow by opening registrations for the annual Fight MND Ice Plunge. A decade-long tradition at Falls Creek, the Ice Plunge welcomes the first day of winter with a mass plunge into the cool cool waters of Rocky Valley Lake.

Falls Creek locals Grace Falconer-Smith and Amy Van de Ven were keen to get into the spirit early, channelling their inner ice princesses this week on the summit of Falls Creek’s Mount McKay.

At 1600m above sea level, Rocky Valley Lake is Australia’s highest significant body of water.

Air temperatures are commonly around 0°C at this altitude and water temperatures are expected to be around 3°C to 4°C. This event is both a celebration and a valuable community initiative.

MOUNT BEAUTY HALF MARATHON Another Wonderful Event

Y

our editor was camped out Mountain Creek Road – getting photos of the runners as they ‘gutsed it out’ up that long slow climb – which also provides great views of the runners coming towards the camera – with the magnificent autumn colours of the Kiewa Valley spread across the back of the framed image. It was here that one lady, obviously new to the area, stated as she went past “what a beautiful area!” “Thankyou” was my answer.

We know it – and that is why we live here.

It is also another great reason for people to visit and involve themselves in just one of the many great events that this area puts on.

Numbers this year were down a bit (180 as opposed to 262 last year) and we’re not sure whether the shift to a Sunday date had a major impact on the event. But, overall it was a great event, supported by cooler, slightly overcast conditions, with the sun breaking through the high cloud occasionally. alls Creek Resort Management will be collecting hard waste on Wednesday Under the auspices of the Mount Beauty 26th April the day after Secondary College, but with theANZAC guiding Day.

PROBUS Rediscover Favourites in Retirement

mature, so we tend to let our old favourites go in the hope that one day we can take them up again.

oday’s media is full of advisory stories for Over 50s with one common theme…the need to stay “active in retirement,” generally attached to a photo of some seniors abseiling or white water rafting. But our senior years are not always about ‘that’ type of activity, and that’s what ‘this’ story is all about!

That time is now! Our senior years are here, and we now have the perfect time to rediscover our favourite activities with likeminded people once again!

In my youth, I must have been a member of about a dozen or so clubs, each one catering to any one of my many social activities like sports, walking, table games and others. I had a wide range of interests, but as time wore on and I got older, my priorities changed, the amount of spare time I had changed, and my responsibilities at work and at home all took their toll on my social life. I gave up most of those memberships over the years and never found the time to go back to them.

Before I went, I did my research so I know that there’s over 125,000 Probus Club members around Australia and New Zealand and they have regular social meetings and get-togethers, as well as trips and tours.

As we age, our interests also change and

I recently went to a Probus Club gettogether and while I was expecting a pleasant social meal and a chat, what I got was so much more.

What I didn’t know was that each Club has its own collection of ‘Interest Groups’ formed by the members who contribute their own ideas and turn them into a great range of activities for anyone who chooses to join in.

cards, to the light activities of walking, photography and cycling, right through to sailing and fishing, world cruising and many, many others.

Anyone can form an Interest Group, for any activity, and Probians are quick to take up the invitation to join in on the fun especially when it’s one of the things they used to enjoy previously. And members can of course belong to as many or as few Groups as they choose.

Each Probus Club has its own Interest Groups, because each and every Club is different, with a different set of members and different geography, and because of this it’s not uncommon for Clubs to join forces for a particular activity. Day trips are a favourite and can involve four or five Clubs or more depending on the destination, and these are determined by one of the Interest Groups, like museums, galleries, wineries or scenic locations off the beaten track.

Rediscover the activities you thought you’d forgotten by joining a Probus Club and begin to enjoy retirement with like-minded people!

THE WHITE MUD CLASSIC Queen’s Birthday Weekend

available to allow everyone to have a great weekend.

he name White Mud Classic came from an event that Team Mount Beauty decided to run up at Falls Creek many many years ago. It was going to be in the mud – but it snowed – the event went ahead and the name stuck.

The website www.soupboys.cc has some great reports and some excellent photos courtesy of their team Slade, Connor, Ben, Kip, Ron and Adrian.

T

This Queen’s Birthday weekend the White Mud Classic will take place over two days, Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday is the Victorian Championships and Sunday is Round Five of the Victorian CX Series and it is expected that around 200 riders will be taking part over the weekend and we are sure to see at least five of the country’s top Elite riders taking part..

Their introduction says: “It’s normally the biggest weekend outside of the National Champs, but in 2018 that stuff came under serious threat. Amidst the haze of a shisha café the Bright round normally held on the Sunday of this famous Queens Birthday long weekend was controversially and suddenly canned, Team Mount Beauty coming together through their power of community

The 2.5km course is around the bottom of the Big Hill mountain bike park and will see mass starts of up to 70 riders roaring off at one time. (Should be fun!)

This form of riding is called CycloCross (CX) with the bikes being used like road bikes but with off-road tyres. Races will last around 40 to 60 minutes and provides great entertainment. The worse the weather, the better the racing – and the entertainment – as this friendly bunch of easy-going competitors just get out there to have fun!

As usual there will be coffee and food

to put on a showpiece double header. Fully decked out in our fresh team kits for the first time we were chomping at the bit to get out among the action.” Here is the link to some great reporting of last year’s event. https://www.soupboys.cc/thestories/2018-vicxs-round-3-and-4 •
