NEWS and FEATURES committee met with previous committee members and colleagues of Darryl and Margaret to thank them for their outstanding contribution to the Administration of the Rec Park and also Basketball Table Tennis and Chess clubs.

Darryl was there for day 1 of the newly built Stadium (Festival Hall) in 1979.

Recently he wrapped up his volunteer coaching of kids on a Sunday morning.

Auditors loved the books Margaret presented as treasurer of the basketball club. So neat and complete.

Darryl and Margaret are now closer to other family in Warradale and Darryl is happy the expressway has been duplicated just for him so he can get to his regular golf games at Willunga in good time. PS Darryl reports his new polo shirt works well

FLEURIEU FOLK FESTIVAL 24 – 26 OCTOBER

As well as the usual range of eclectic music, the annual Fleurieu Folk Festival will this year host the launch of a CD of tunes about Willunga, written and sung by Willunga175 committee member, David Greenslade. David is well known in the Adelaide music scene and is the organiser of regular music nights at the Fern Forest Nursery.

Letters to the Editor

Hi, My apologies for taking time to thank you for your support and assistance with the Hit the Hill event on Sunday 7th September.

As I have said many times “the event worked” and was enjoyed by all who attended. It is always a risk when you organise an event with little or no precedent but thanks to the efforts of everyone who assisted it worked and we were very pleased with the outcome.

I have received many emails from bike riders who were involved thanking us for organising the event and stating how much they enjoyed the experience. I have also received a lot of comment about the billycarts and what a lot of fun they were and how it was great to see them back on High Street.

The hardest part of the day was setting up in time for a 9.00am registration of the riders with a 10am start and we achieved this without too much hassle.

So I thank all of you who made the supreme sacrifice on a Sunday morning and got up early to help. To all those who helped with the packing up - a big thank you. We were able to be packed up and have the road open earlier than planned which was a good result.

The one thing I have learnt throughout this year is how willing the residents of Willunga are to help with events organised in the town and Hit the Hill was no

NEWS and FEATURES exception so once again thanks for your support.

There is a move afoot for this event to be repeated next year and possibly become an annual event.

If this occurs I am sure we can build on this year’s event and make it a great day where High Street becomes alive with, not only bikes and billycarts, but other activities which will benefit all of Willunga.

If you have received any comments or have any comments about this year’s event or possible future events please let me know.

Regards Graham Ormsby Chair, Willunga175 Organising Committee

Dear Parents and Caregivers, On behalf of Willunga Primary School I would like to thank and congratulate everyone (parents, staff, students, families, relatives and friends) for their participation and commitment to our school's contribution to the celebration of 175 Years of European settlement In Willunga.

It was very heart-warming to see the manner in which everyone entered into the spirit of the celebrations and reenactments of yesteryear practices.

The costumes that were being worn were authentic and eye catching. At one point a visiting caravan couple passing through Willunga stopped and pulled over to ask what was happening. They had never seen so many

children in period dress.

When told what was happening they were amazed and extremely congratulatory.

Representatives from the 175 committee and the Regional Director attended as did members of the National Trust.

Both parties were impressed with the school's commitment to the 175 years celebration and to the authenticity of learning about history of Willunga.

As principal it afforded me one of my proudest moments of public education. The school will be producing a brochure to commemorate the occasion of last Friday.

Once completed it will be sent to all families as a memento of the occasion.

Kilkenny Cycling Club once again presented a community event that provided fun and involvement for young and old. It was sponsored

by Willunga 100 Wines and supported by Events South Australia and the City of Onkaparinga.

Recreational and serious riders, aged from 13 to 76, challenged themselves against Old Willunga Hill in perfect conditions – cool and sunny, with a slight tail wind. The starting ramp was a real “bush mechanic” work of art, built at local business Ausvat by committee members and other willing volunteers. It was attached onto a flatbed truck lent

by Joch Bosworth of Battle of Bosworth Wines and gave riders a flying start up the hill.

Winners in the recreational riders’ categories were Brandon Penny-Phillips (Junior Male), Tim Pritchard (Senior Male), Kathy Nixon (Senior Female), Denis Brown (Veteran Male), and Margaret Warner (Veteran Female).

Tim Pritchard was the fastest of these riders, in a time of 9:25:68 minutes.

To their delight, Willunga175 guest and champion cyclist, Stuart O’Grady, presented the trophies, together with giant bottles of Willunga 100 Grenache for the adults and specially designed jerseys for all winners.

While riders pushed up the hill, other people were having a much easier time charging down High Street in the traditional Willunga billycart races. After a

Well done everyone!!

FUN FOR YOUNG AND OLD It might have been Fathers Day, with Port Power competing in an AFL final and the Royal Adelaide Show in full swing, but that didn’t deter the keen cyclists and spectators who gathered in Willunga on Sunday 7 September to “Hit the Hill”. The Willunga175 committee, with help from Cycling SA and the

NEWS and FEATURES slow start, keen participants were soon queuing up to take their turn, amid much laughter, cheering and jeering.

Billycart drivers enjoyed being towed back up the street in-train almost as much as racing down it.

Stuart O’Grady took part in the celebrity billycart race, as did local state member for Mawson, Leon Bignell.

‘I was delighted to have so many local people volunteer to help with the staging of these activities and I want to give special thanks to those businesses that sponsored the events to help defray expenses,” said Willunga175 Chairman, Graham Ormsby. “Community involvement has been a focus of every activity the committee has organised this year.”

New housing in the Aldinga Arts Ecovillage When I drive over the rise at Maslins and see the beautiful Willunga ranges I

know I’m nearly home.

What I like about living in the Aldinga Arts Ecovillage is that everyone waves to me and says Hi! There’s a new development happening within the Ecovillage – a cluster of eleven sustainable terrace homes built around shared space and strong community.

We’re planning a playspace and a community garden and there’s been interest from singles and families to buy the two to four bedroom homes available.

The development will be released soon. Prices will start from $287,000 for a two bedroom home.

Anyone can buy one of the houses and they appeal to people who value belonging to a community.

The Ecovillage offers so much more than homes designed for climate. It’s a healthy environment – lots of fruit and nut trees jointly owned by residents; lots of vegie gardens which means produce and

seed swapping and community preservemaking. A couple of young families are establishing a permaculture farm too.

Ecovillage and make it your home. 1 Dianella Way – eleven clever designed sustainable homes and gardens in this dynamic community.

The Ecovillage has pizza nights, neighbourhood get-togethers – sometimes around a wood fire, common interest groups such as knitting, crafts, playgroup and a men’s group. There is an outdoor movie theatre and a community shed. The Ecovillage is not a place where you feel isolated or lonely.

For more information have a look at our website: www.livingnotbeige.com.a u or contact Tricia O'Donovan 0402197116 -------

There’s a help-tree to support people who are unwell or experiencing difficulties – neighbours come forward with food, or a lift to the shops, child-minding or simply friendship. I’m involved in the arts group and we’re currently making 3m silk flags for an exhibition in next year’s Fringe Festival.

The eleven new homes at 1 Dianella Way are being planned by Living Not Beige – a new South Australian company established by my partner Rick and me with a friend Hugues Vilette. Living Not Beige gets people involved much earlier in the process so that community develops along with the houses.

Intending purchasers are able to shape the development so that its form and facilities are better suited to their needs. Construction is planned to start in the new year and Living Not Beige is now looking for people who may want to live at the Ecovillage in one of these new homes.

Sometimes I think the Ecovillage is Adelaide’s best kept secret. It’s more than just a place to live.

Right now, there is an opportunity to purchase new houses in the

GET WALKING!!

Its spring and the sun is coming out, so it s time to get outside and get moving.

"Walking is the perfect exercise for the whole family!" local Physiotherapist, Marc Elliott, from Willunga Physio said.

“It is one of the safest, easiest and most effective ways to keep our bodies functioning and moving well, while also being great for weight loss and to keep our heart/lungs and body’s healthy. “ “By walking we are gently stretching and using all of the muscles around our hips, back, knees and ankles, meaning things are less likely to stiffen up or get weak from not being used. It also puts the back in its favourite position – up right!! So is great to gently ease off those back aches and to keep the body’s joints ‘oiled up’ and running smoothly – much like taking a car for a drive to keep the engine running well.”

Mr Elliot suggests walking is often prescribed as easy

exercise for his clients with lower back pain.

“Evidence has shown that people who walk daily have much less time off work with lower back pain. They are fitter and spend less time on the Physio table”.

Walking increases the heart rate which helps to keep our heart working well to supply our body with oxygen and nutrients in the blood; it also increases our breathing rate which is great for lung function!

“Walk yourself happy” is a great local walking group for all ages and levels of fitness, supported by the heart foundation. .

Through a walking group like this you can have fun, meet new people and look after your health while releasing endorphins (happy chemicals) in the body and enjoying the sunshine!

Both days the first visitors came through “Lykkebo’s” gate at precisely 10am, with a total number of 116 adults visiting on Saturday and 159 and numerous well behaved children on Sunday. A total of 275 happy visitors enjoyed a leisurely stroll through this productive garden and chatted with Karl Jensen, winner of the Advertiser / Messenger Adelaide’s best vegie patch in February this year.

Karl commented that visitors shared a lot of their gardening tips with him.

A big thank you to our sponsors: Ralph & Jan Wilsmore, who have a nursery at Myponga and donated geraniums and cyclamens to sell, we

received heavily discounted cake from Willunga Bakery, discounted sausages from Willunga Quality Meats, Noarlunga East Rotary club for the use of their BBQ and Murray Stinson for arranging pick up and return of the BBQ. The City of Onkaparinga sponsored the $32 permit fee for signage, trimmed trees and erected “Community Event” signage at the entrance of the “No Through Road” where we live. The Willunga Quarry Market loaned trestles, gazebos, witches hats, bollards and bunting.

The Willunga and McLaren Vale communities and people from further afield have supported Daddy’s little legend Neonatal Appeal on several occasions during 2014.

In February Charlie’s Grandmother, Jean Van Driel hosted a Morning Tea at Waverly Homestead, Lykkebo was promoted on 4 May at Discover Willunga Fair and recent attendance at Lykkebo’s Open Garden has contributed to over $3000 being raised towards the Ret Cam Machine. Also, a local community group and artist have further contributed to this appeal.

Thank you everyone who

PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR BUSHFIRE SEASON Australia’s bushfire danger season has arrived so now is the time to clear leaves from your home’s gutters and run through your safety checklist, according to First National Real Estate, Willunga principal, Nick van Vliet.

‘Hundreds of homes were lost when serious fires broke out in NSW last October’ said Nick.

‘So we want to remind locals that although it might seem early, and some parts of the country have had plenty of recent rain, this weekend could be the ideal time to check your home’s gutters and run through some precautionary steps. By doing so, you, your home and your family will be better prepared.’

Nick van Vliet suggests homeowners and tenants take the following steps to reduce their bushfire risk: • Clear leaves from gutters, downpipes and roofs • Check roof vents and screen them with fine wire mesh • Check that pressure relief valves on LPG cylinders face away from your home • Cut back overhanging trees, mow grass, rake up flammable leaves • Don’t dump green waste behind your property, on council

‘Take extra steps like turning off and disconnecting nonessential appliances, close all internal doors, test smoke alarms, and, if you live in a bushfire prone area, check with your local fire brigade for any fact sheets or checklists they may have available’ said Nick van Vliet.

‘Taking these simple steps now can make a lifesaving difference in protecting your home, and family from a fire’.

The Willunga, Aldinga and McLaren Vale Agricultural and Horticultural Society held Shows from as early as 1856. They were popular district events with numerous prizes for horses, cattle, pigs, wheat, barley, dairy produce, fruit, vegetables, flowers, implements, slate, poultry and wine.

Until 1888, the early Shows were held in the Oddfellows Hall at Willunga and on vacant land between the Hall and the nearby Bush Inn.

Show gained a permanent home. The Hall (now called the Show Hall) was used for Shows, dances, picture shows, concerts and meetings. An Institute Library was conducted in the back room from 1922.

The front rendered section was added in the early 1900s, and the Sports and Social Club was added to the back in 1982.

In 1905 the Show Society erected a Luncheon Booth next to the Show Hall; but this was demolished to make way for the present Community Centre, opened in 1979, which includes RSL and CWA Clubrooms. An early cottage used by the CWA was demolished to form an entrance and gateway.

LETS South AGM Do you know what LETS is? According to Wikipedia’s description it is: A local exchange trading system (also local employment and trading system or local energy transfer system; abbreviated to LETS or LETSystem) is a locally initiated, democratically organised, not-for-profit community enterprise that provides a community information service and record transactions of members exchanging goods and services by using the currency of locally created LETS Credits.

Did you know that Willunga has LETS South and you could be trading your goods and services right at your own door?

If you would like to be involved in this very logical and sustainable system, read the newsletters and get in touch.

Centre on Saturday 25th October at 1pm. Come along and get a feel for LETS and all it has to offer. www.letssouth.com.au -------
