Hope for lake water T

BY DEAN LAWSON

he potential of Green Lake near Horsham to receive an allocation of recreational water this year might hinge on the outcome of a meeting between water representatives and Horsham councillors.

GWMWater board has asked corporation management to speak with Horsham Rural City Council about possibilities of supplying water to the lake and provide details about associated issues.

GWMWater managing director Mark Williams confirmed Green Lake supply had been a major topic of discussion at a general board meeting earlier this month. “Discussions were part of a broad process of exploring opportunities in providing water assets to meet various demands,” he said. “The board has appraised issues of possible supply and requested management discuss it further with the Horsham council.” For water to be available for the lake, it must come from a bulk-enti-

tlement-holding authority involved in a water-sharing arrangement. GWMWater is one entitlement holder, alongside other water-supply and environmental agencies. Green Lake is holding water, but to avoid an environment that promotes the onset of blue-green algae in summer, would most likely need flushing into neighbouring Dock Lake and refilling to reduce a nitrogen load. This in turn would be of major benefit to Dock Lake, recognised as a significant environmental wetland, and add weight to future ‘environmental’

trade-off allocations for the benefit of both lakes. A re-allocation process for water would come at an immediate cost and this equation is likely to be part of discussions between the corporation and the council. The Horsham council allocated $30,000 in last year’s budget to water the lake, which it could not use based on water availability. It might be able to carry it forward to add to another $30,000 in this year’s budget. This would mean it would have $60,000 available for water if it was

available for transfer. There has also been considerable discussion, from the general public to authority-management levels, about how Green Lake fitted into business-case discussion and direction involving the Wimmera-Mallee Pipeline. Before pipeline construction, State Government Labor leaders of the time featured in the media standing in the bed of a dry Green Lake, using the lake as an example of where recreational activities could occur based on water savings.

Greening plan open for feedback H

BY DEAN LAWSON

orsham people have a sixweek window of opportunity to have a say in how they want leaders to manage and develop trees and treescapes in the municipality.

Horsham Rural City Council has released a draft Greening Greater Horsham – A Municipal Tree Strategy to the community for consultation and feedback. Councillors debated the plan at a meeting on Monday night, raising issues including how the plan worked with urban and rural parts of the municipality, a need to understand biodiversity and climate change, how Wimmera ‘experts’ might be involved in discussions and ensuring there was a proactive instead of reactive approach in tree management. They were generally in favour of a greater strategic approach to managing trees in the municipality. Cr David Bowe moved that the council receive the report and release it to the community for feedback.

In stressing a line from the report, he said: “The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago and the next best time is now. This is why we need the strategy that establishes visions and goals for long-term tree management. Planting a tree is not as simple as digging a hole. I encourage people to have a say.” Cr Claudia Haenel supported the motion, adding it was important to develop shade and to recognise First Nations people had a role in consultation. “We really do need these lush, green spaces within our urban environment and I’m looking forward to trees being planted,” she said. Community trees and vegetation, along streets and roadsides and in parkland, have long formed an integral part of the Horsham environment and character. Municipal tree management, ranging from planting and pruning to removal and replacement, has traditionally prompted a passionate community response. But as well as ‘liveability’, aesthetic

and environmental values, trees have also presented financial, engineering and safety challenges depending on species, location and use. Public outcry to proposed removal of a sugar-gum avenue in Natimuk Road to mitigate road-surface damage earlier this year provided an example of community connection with trees.

Objectives

The new draft plan, developed by Bendigo-based Urban Forest Consulting, provides a guiding framework to ‘improve the quality, quantity and health of trees’ across the Horsham municipality. It is designed to help the council transition from maintaining trees individually or by street, to consider them as a ‘collective and integrated’ resource contributing to the health and wellbeing of the community. The plan embeds key objectives into everyday council business. These are: Protect and enhance existing public trees from unnecessary removal or damage and provide care to ensure longevity, health and mini-

misation of risk; increase tree canopy to improve natural shade in the municipality’s settlements; improve streetscape character and biodiversity links to improve streetscapes and increase connectivity and habitat for biodiversity; raise community awareness of the importance of urban trees, including on private land; provide best-practice tree management; and celebrate trees’ roles in cultural heritage. Cr Ian Ross, who has experience in ecological management, felt the plan fell short of fully embracing all of the municipality and unsuccessfully tried to amend the document’s title to include ‘urban’ to reflect his views. He argued that despite the plan including trees within Horsham proper, along rural roads and within smaller towns throughout the municipality, and with a scope to further investigate trees on private land, it did not fully embrace rural circumstances. “This is an urban design and it’s a great strategy for that. A strategy for trees is long overdue,” he said. Cr Ross, in pushing a need for

Buloke joins ‘opening’ trial

Hope for lake water From page 1 Horsham Yacht Club and Green Lake Water Sports spokesman Justin Brilliant said he was excited about the potential of a win-win formula that looked after environmental as well as recreation values coming together. “We’ve been informed we might have an opportunity to receive a filling flow into Green Lake, but much will depend on how much money is available to buy the water required – not only to fill the lake, but to flush water into Dock Lake to counter worrying nutrient levels, a primary catalyst for blue-green algal outbreaks,” he said. “The Horsham council has put money aside to buy water for the lake when it is available based on watersharing agreements. “But we might need some more money to access the amount of water required to do this. “If there is a shortfall, we might try to organise a community fundraising drive. “We’re hopeful that considering Dock Lake is an environmental wetland of note and part of the Wimmera

transparency, also raised the issue of understanding what was needed for ‘biodiversity’, briefly noting that development of canopy and use of European trees was inconsistent with promoting the concept. Cr Di Bell: “I am definitely in favour of the plan. We need trees and need them planted yesterday and I agree with an urgent need to take action. We need to be a lot greener and I’m particularly concerned about north of the railway line. I would like to see Wimmera Growers of Native Plants involved in discussions.” Cr Penny Flynn said the plan provided direction on getting the mix between placing a high value on trees and establishing where they were needed most, what species were appropriate for conditions and circumstances and where they posed few risks to community health and safety. “This report encourages us to be proactive instead of reactive,” she said. Councillors generally encouraged the community to assess the draft and have a say.

Buloke Shire will be part of State Government business and events trials for highly vaccinated areas of regional Victoria as part of efforts to open progressively as a vaccinated economy. Other regional municipalities involved in the trials, starting on October 11, are Bass Coast, Greater Bendigo, Pyrenees, Warrnambool and East Gippsland. Regional leaders had hoped that more Wimmera-Mallee municipalities might have also qualified for the trials.

Easing restrictions

HOPE: Horsham Yacht Club representatives Justin Brilliant and Libby Peucker on the banks of a drying Green Lake near Horsham. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER River system, that we might be able to get some of this extra water as part of an environmental allocation.” Mr Brilliant said advocates were also keen to explore natural mitigation work to try to avoid nutrient build-up in the lake in working to avoid blue-green algae outbreaks. “This might involve significant

Landcare efforts or perhaps a largescale environmental project,” he said. “We’re open to ideas to work on revegetation of areas in the lake, particularly at a shallow southern-end area, or in around the lake or at the inlet creek – whatever it takes that is possible, we’re keen to explore. “Green Lake is a significant and

under-used asset and we need it up and firing.” Mr Brilliant said he agreed that recreation and environmental uses went hand-in-hand and was more than happy to work on achieving recreational benefits by pursuing a much broader environmental project.

A modest easing to restrictions in regional Victoria and metropolitan Melbourne in line with the Roadmap to Deliver the National Plan came into effect this morning In most regional Victorian areas, including the Wimmera, Mallee and Western District, patron caps in seated outdoor settings for restaurants and cafes have increased from 20 to 30 people. People can also remove masks in hair and beauty salons based on service requirements.

Towns to compete for cup V

ictoria’s Spring Racing Carnival is heating up as Australia’s best staying horses toil their way towards the race that stops the nation.

But there is a more important race this year that can start the nation up again and the field is already set to go. Grampians Public Health Unit’s Dr Rob Grenfell wants Wimmera-Mallee towns to enter the COVID Cup and he is already studying their form. Dr Grenfell said the most important race this year was the race to get the country vaccinated against COVID-19. “Our region has a strong sporting heritage and our towns love to compete with each other, especially neighbouring towns where the rivalry is always at its fiercest,” he said. “So for your town to win the COVID Cup, it just needs to be first to get to 99 percent full vaccination.” Dr Grenfell said the pandemic had severely disrupted community sport and spring events in the region. “The COVID Cup is a unique ‘oneoff’ event that can instil community pride and give everyone something to follow and support,” he said. “The Victorian Premier has set the target for opening up the community a little in the first week of November when we should reach an average of 80 percent second dose. “While that result is a very serious matter, we can have a bit of fun with the race that starts the nation. “For starters you can expect a sudden rule change from time to time and we can look at a form guide and regular updates as the race is called.

“As the gates open I would like to be on Birchip and Kaniva, because those towns are already at 100 percent for first dose, but there are plenty of towns that could chase down the front runner. We might also introduce a few other categories or divisions based populations and so on. “Here is the data for the first-dose vaccines across our towns-postcodes. We certainly have some prize-leading thoroughbreds, like Birchip, a lot of racers in the middle of the field, and a couple with room for improvement. “There are many tricks to prepare for the race and many ways to lift your performance. I reckon if 30 or so of the residents of Serviceton were to amble down to the local vaccination centre, they would move from the bottom to the top quite quickly. “If we can lift our rates across the whole region, we will invite other players from across Grampians into the race and take on Ballarat. “We have certainly felt the effect of this virus on so many parts of our daily lives, and it is certainly not going to stop anytime soon.” Dr Grenfell reminded people an important step they could take to reduce the risk of serious illness from the virus was to get vaccinated as soon as possible. “You also need to continue to follow the public-health directions. This protects you, your community and reduces the pressure on our health services,” he said. Vaccines are available from GPs, pharmacies and vaccination hubs. Latest first-dose vaccination

Keeping communities connected An Ararat Rural City Council program addressing digital literacy and providing support to vulnerable people will start at Willaura. A $50,000 State Government investment for the Bridging the Gap to Literacy project will provide digital devices already connected to the internet for residents who need it most, and lessons on how to use them. Ararat council chief executive Tim Harrison said there had never been a more important need for people to stay connected. “The pandemic has brought a focus on the importance of social connections with friends, family and people in the community,” he said. “Understandably, some people have been feeling overwhelmed with the need for using QR codes or a lack of knowledge around accessing online services. “Programs like this will make a big difference to community members who have been struggling to get online.” Dr Harrison said the first workshop would be at Willaura Hall tomorrow from 10.30am, where people would be introduced to the program and have a chance to learn new skills such as how to navigate a computer, scan QR codes and access services such as online banking or MyGov. “There will be a focus on cyber safety and using a range of channels to stay connected socially. The program is suited for all levels and those who have never logged online are encouraged to join,” he said. Residents interested in the program can call Moya Carroll on 5355 0232.

Housing development to go ahead C

BY DEAN LAWSON

Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal, VCAT, has upheld a permit Horsham Rural City Council has issued to Elmstone Property Group to develop the ‘enclosed village’ on the northern end of Alexander Avenue. The multi-million-dollar project will go ahead, albeit with VCAT changes that have involved reducing the number of dwellings from 35 one-bedroom apartments to 22 two-bedroom and three one-bedroom apartments. Overall the number of bedrooms in the development has risen from 35 to 52. The project has generated considerable community debate since Elmstone Property Group announced development plans last year. Project advocates have argued the development would provide ‘much-needed’ housing diversity in Horsham. But a vocal and passionate group of residents has strongly protested the high-density and enclosed nature of the housing plan, raising fears about

market for downsizing retirees. Perry Surveying Horsham has already begun preparing site plans for council endorsement.” One of the objectors and Alexander Avenue resident Bill Griffiths said it was just a bad idea and that it represented a ‘soundshell on the avenue’. He said he feared the development would be like an enclosed detention centre, hence creating a ‘soundshell’ effect. He said Alexander Avenue residents had already sold up and left the area because of the plans and what had already occurred in the area. Mr Griffiths added that he was as much in favour of developing diverse housing opportunities in Horsham as anyone, but argued that multi-storey projects in or closer to Horsham’s central business district would be more appropriate than what was planned. “What I’d like to see is an upgrade development on Horsham’s Locarno Hotel site in Wilson Street to make way for something like the luxury multi-storey Marrakai apartments with one, two and three-bedroom units,” he said. “With panoramic views of the Grampians, Arapiles and sunsets on offer, I’d be the first to buy a unit on the top floor. But, with what’s planned for the end of our street, common sense has not prevailed.”

community safety and amenity issues. A community group of objectors lodged an appeal with VCAT in response to the council decision to issue a permit. VCAT hearings were on August 23 and 24 and VCAT issued its order on September 21. After an expansive explanation of findings to key parties, VCAT senior member John Bennett concluded that he agreed with the council and the permit applicant that ‘constructing a medium-density development is a suitable response to the aspirations set out in the planning scheme for new residential infill within the urban area of Horsham. I consider that, on bal-

ance, there is a net community benefit in approving a modified medium-density development in accordance with the permit conditions. I will therefore direct that a conditional permit be issued permitting the construction of 25 dwellings’. Elmstone Property Group director Stuart Benjamin expressed his excitement at starting construction in Horsham. “We have sadly suffered a 12-month delay,” he said. “The silver lining has been what we have learnt during the process. On engaging traffic and planning experts, we found that we could actually make

the development larger, with a different mix of housing types. “Disappointingly, half a dozen of the early buyers have now missed out on their opportunity to receive government grants of $45,000. “Their documentation needed to be lodged earlier this year and the grants have now sadly expired. Two of these buyers have now left the Horsham community, having not been able to secure long-term housing. “Initially, the project was designed to focus on first-home buyers, but we will now be looking at marketing the project to other demographics as well. “There is a huge demand in the

Native language revival boost The descendent of a famous hero tracker is set to play a major role in helping to preserve the Wimmera’s native and endangered Wergaia language. Prominent Wotjobaluk woman Aunty Jennifer Beer, whose ancestors include Yanggendyinanuk, responsible for finding the ‘Lost in the Bush’ Duff children in 1864, is among nine inaugural specialist Aboriginal-language graduate teachers. She will use her Swinburne University of Technology Certificate IV qualification in Teaching an Endangered Aboriginal Language to continue to revive the Wergaia language in classrooms and on Country. The State Government is supporting the new specialist team as part of an education project to preserve endangered Aboriginal languages. The project is part of the State Government’s Marrung: Aboriginal Education Plan 2016-2026, promoting Koorie culture and tradition in Victoria and supporting reconciliation and social justice reforms. The pilot course has involved Aboriginal

groups and linguistic expert and Taungurung Elder Aunty Lee Healy who has helped equip the graduates with the cultural skills to teach and preserve five languages in schools, kindergartens and Aboriginal communities. Aunty Jennifer Beer already has more than 30 years of experience in Koorieducation experience and with Victorian School of Languages support has passionately worked to revive and reclaim her native language. Barengi Gadjin Land Council acting chief executive Tim McCartney said language was fundamental to the identity of the Wotjobaluk nations. “The investment in our community leaders in education to learn and the passing down of the teachings is significantly important to strengthening our Wotjobaluk peoples,” he said. “It is a fantastic achievement for Aunty Jennifer. “We acknowledge that there is still immense work to achieve greater understanding and skills required to educate and share that knowledge.

“The BGLC board and I appreciate her dedication and commitment to the Wergaia language and the aspirations of many who wish to explore and understand their culture through language.” To inspire more Victorians to use Aboriginal languages, new Certificate II and III in Learning an Australian First Nations Language courses will be available free of charge to Koorie students under a Victorian Budget 2021-22 investment of more than $2.7-million over four years. Victorian Aboriginal Affairs Minister Gabrielle Williams said the aim of the project was to amplify the voices of Aboriginal Victorians. “We want to enhance the understanding of Aboriginal culture in everything we do – and part of that is ensuring endangered languages are revived and preserved,” he said. Swinburne University of Technology spokesman Andrew Kong said the university was proud to support the program. “These graduating students will bring their rich knowledge and expertise to furthering this urgent task,” he said.

The importance of having ‘green’

here is a reason why commentators often use the term ‘leafy green’ to quickly sum up the nature or personality of a town, district or suburb.

Being ‘leafy’ and ‘green’ immediately conjures mental images and thoughts of tranquillity, affluence and liveability. Many are also using the term ‘treechange’ for people keen to move away from metropolitan lifestyles. There is an innate part of the human consciousness that equates the presence of plant, other life and a sense of ‘green’ to overall environmental health and vibrancy. That’s why public parkland, tree and vegetation planning and projects tend to climb urban-development priority lists. Some town planners argue that if a municipal council gets its parks and gardens formula right, the council is more than halfway to getting everything else to fall into place to establish the ultimate goal for their lot – having a great place to live. Horsham Rural City Council is one of

the latest councils re-examining its ‘treescape’ planning. The challenge for community leaders is to ensure landscaping programs involving lining streets with trees and creating shady parks and shopping areas and appealing passive recreation areas hit the mark. But it’s a moving target and history suggests it’s easy to get wrong. Adopting a simple directive and process is probably the first step. This involves an understanding that the most appealing landscaping results work as part of an overall picture and not in isolation. In Horsham’s case, that means expanding well beyond established treelined areas. There are the basic issues of aesthetics, functions and risks, which can also reflect

the old ‘S’ landscaping methodology in that what is good for the senses and soul must also be sensible. The term ‘senses’ reflects on what can be seen, smelt and touched, ‘soul’ reflects an understanding of environmental, cultural or historical aspects or situation, and ‘sensible’ is avoiding anything that upsets infrastructure or comes with physical or financial risk. Setting goals to improve environmental biodiversity in an urban centre is one area that takes some understanding. These goals might or might not be appropriate depending on community sensibilities. Urban centres can be food and habitat rich for all sorts of native birdlife, for example, but they can also represent little more than a desert, often depending on plant-species selection and placement. What we know, regardless of how hard it is to measure, is that it is worth the effort to green up where we live, play and work. Do we or can we offer something that is ‘leafy green’ or a ‘treechange’ for people pondering a shift to the country? It’s all about liveability.

Time for thanks, reflection V

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

ictoria Police Blue Ribbon Foundation Horsham leaders have urged Wimmera people to reflect on lives lost in the name of duty while thanking those who protect and serve our community.

Today is Blue Ribbon Day, which coincides with National Police Remembrance Day on September 29 each year. The foundation first launched Blue Ribbon Day in 1999 following an outpouring of community support for Senior Constable Rodney Miller and Sergeant Gary Silk, who were murdered on August 16, 1998. Horsham branch president Dale Russell said commemorations would again look different this year due to COVID-19 restrictions on gatherings. “Because of COVID, like last year, there is no local service as such,” he said. “A small group, consisting of myself as Horsham branch president, police chaplain Andrew Cartledge of Harvest Church and a couple of local police officers, will lay a wreath at 11am.” The group will lay the wreath at the foot of the flagpole at Horsham Police Station. “If people want to attend they could stand on the footpath, socially distanced, but people are not allowed to ‘gather’,” Mr Russell said. “There will also be an online service run by Blue Ribbon Foundation in Melbourne in conjunction with police. “Although COVID means we can’t have our usual parade and church service, it is still so important we acknowledge our fallen police officers. “In the history of Victoria Police, 170 officers have died in the line of duty, with 30 of them murdered. “It is part of our role as foundation members to reflect on that. “There is a great quote on the Blue Ribbon Foundation website, that says, ‘We can do nothing to bring them back but as a grateful community we can take steps to honour their memory’. “I think that sums it up perfectly.” The foundation also aims to ‘remember lives by saving others’, building new and improved emergency facilities in Victorian hospitals that are then named in honour of fallen officers.

“Since the Horsham branch began in 2007, we have raised about $600,000 for Wimmera Health Care Group,” Mr Russell said. He said a resuscitation room and equipment in Wimmera Base Hospital’s emergency department, named in honour of late Constable George Howell, and a $100,000 donation to Wimmera Cancer Centre were among major donations. The branch this year donated $30,000 for a neonatal resuscitator unit. “At the moment we are raising money for a Ranger blood and fluid warming system, which the health-care group has told us is the most important piece of equipment currently on their wish list,” he said. “It costs $2750, which is an achievable target.” Blue Ribbon Foundation has again joined forces with Woolworths for Blue Ribbon Month in September. The Horsham store is selling merchandise at checkouts along with raffle tickets for a hamper of goods, drawn on October 11. “We are very grateful to Woolworths for its ongoing support,” Mr Russell said. “After we reach this target, we will be announcing our next major target for 2022.” Mr Russell said the Horsham branch was in for a big year next year, highlighted by a dinner and gala evening in May. “The dinner will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the death of Constable Edward O’Neill, of Nhill,” he said. “He was thrown from his horse while on patrol and died a couple of weeks later. “May 3 is the anniversary of his death.” Mr Russell said the branch would also dedicate a treatment room at Wimmera Cancer Centre to Const O’Neill. People can visit remember.org.au for more information about the foundation or to donate to the Blue Ribbon Day appeal.

ow quickly the percentage of people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can rise is likely to determine how quickly communities can emerge from lockdowns and severe restrictions.

The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM are therefore encouraging people across the Wimmera-Mallee and Western District to quickly assess if vaccination is right for them. We in turn urge people who are eligible, have weighed up or sought medical advice about individual risk factors and decided to get vaccinated to avoid delaying in booking at the nearest vaccination clinic. The Wimmera has historically been among the best regions in Victoria in embracing vaccination programs and we encourage everyone to help maintain this high bar as we push through the COVID-19 pandemic. As well as keeping as many of our people as safe as possible, lifting the vaccination percentage rates across the Wimmera, Mallee and Western District will strengthen a regional position as part of statewide management of the virus. We can all play our part in beating this scourge. Let’s put our collective shoulder to the wheel and do what we can to open up our communities.

Gariwerd planners view submissions

ssues surrounding environment and cultural-heritage conservation, recreational and tourism opportunities and safety are among key community submissions to a draft management plan for Gariwerd-Grampians district parkland.

Parks Victoria has prepared an engagement summary report of a second consultation stage of the process, which included 2738 submissions. The submissions were in response to a 15-year Greater Gariwerd Landscape Management Plan and Engagement Summary Report. Officials expect to release a final plan, which will involve considering the submissions, later this year. Parks Victoria worked with Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation, Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation and Barengi Gadjin Land Council on the draft management planning document for the Gariwerd landscape, which includes Grampians National Park and adjacent parks and reserves. The document included park-management proposals based on designating areas for conservation and various activities, understanding the target environment was home to a third of Victoria’s native plant species, the greatest concentration of known rock art in Victoria and unique habitat for threatened animals. The project is designed to replace a previous management plan developed in 2003. The purpose of a second consultation stage in planning, from November 11 to January 24, was to share proposed direction for the Gariwerd landscape, explain a management-plan development process and source community and stakeholder feedback. A summary report from the submissions revealed there was strong participation from people who lived near the Gariwerd landscape, as well as a significant number of people sharing their feedback from interstate and overseas. Key activities respondents liked to do were bushwalking, rock climbing and camping. Respondents felt the key challenges facing the Gariwerd landscape were climate change, litter, waste and graffiti and lack of visitor awareness about cultural and heritage values. There was support for conservation strategies and a focus on increased efforts to remove pest animals and weeds. There was also significant feedback on a draft proposal to investigate returning the culturally significant dingo to the landscape, and where and how rock-climbing activities occurred. A summary detailed there was a wide range of views about managing the landscape, that needed to be balanced and considered in relation to relevant legislation, obligations, park information and data. Under a ‘themes’ section of the summary, the report showed ‘high’ community support for plans within cultural landscape and healthy environment sections of the draft. In particular, the plans with the most support and considered most likely to achieve aims in the plan were: • Using Traditional Owner names for places; • Supporting Traditional Owners to talk about Country with visitors; • Supporting Traditional Owner access to Coun-

try for cultural and economic purposes and practices; • Conservation strategies that reflected a future where recovery from fire and floods are a continuous feature of the landscape; • Continuing to focus conservation effort in removing pests and weeds from the landscape; • Building the capacity of Traditional Owners to participate in fire management and cultural burning. The key aspect of a healthy environment chapter that respondents expressed concern over was researching the possibility of reintroducing the dingo to the landscape. This was due to possible negative impacts to neighbouring farms and visitors. Respondents requested further stakeholder engagement and extensive research. Other observational summary extracts –

Gariwerd Traditional Owners

Most participants at Gariwerd Traditional Owner sessions want new opportunities to connect with Country and receive regular communications about the various projects within Gariwerd. They were encouraged to see the plan valued the expertise of Traditional Owners in caring for Country and initiatives to protect cultural heritage and address damage caused by recreation in the landscape. There was feedback the draft plan could incorporate more women’s business to better reflect Traditional Owner communities. They would also like to see better signs, interpretation and cultural inductions for visitors to remind people they are in a cultural landscape. There was also support for recognising the official park name as the Grampians – Gariwerd – National Park. There was a lot of feedback about perceived inconsistencies within the plan about how recreation was encouraged, particularly the emphasis on supporting the development and use of the Grampians Peaks Trail, while changing the management of other activities to protect values. Many respondents thought having designated camping only addressed the plan’s aim to support recreation while protecting environmental and cultural values. However, there was some opposition to the proposal because people valued the ability to access wild places and have true natural experiences. For some, the preference was to retain hike-in dispersed camping over vehicle camping. There were consistent calls from communities and organisations to introduce a complete fire ban during fire season.

Rock climbing and bouldering

While there is recognition from many of the need to manage climbing differently to ensure environmental and cultural protection, there was a spectrum of support for the current proposals and many suggestions for alternatives. The key overarching concerns for respondents were ensuring a good variety of type and difficulty of climbing areas including bouldering were retained, and that conditions for climbing were practical and consistent with how other recreation is managed.

national farmer survey has found strong commodity prices and good seasonal conditions are fuelling a high level of farm-sector confidence across Australia and including the Wimmera-Mallee. The latest quarterly Rabobank Rural Confidence Survey suggests the high levels of confidence were off-setting concerns about any potential fallout from COVID-19 on the industry. The survey found Victorian farmer sentiment rose considerably during the past quarter, with more than one third of the state’s farmers expecting business conditions to improve in the coming year. More than half expected a continuation of the current, excellent seasonal conditions. Few Victorian farmers forecast conditions to deteriorate. Confidence is strong across most regions and commodity groups, with Victorian grain growers driving much of the upswing in sentiment. Rabobank southern Victoria regional manager Deborah Maskell-Davies said seasonal and business conditions were both tracking well for the state’s farm sector, with sustained high commodity prices and favourable weather conditions driving profitability and optimism. She said Victoria had recorded a particularly wet winter, which – combined with forecasts for good spring rain – had set up producers well for the remainder of the year. “Dairy, beef, sheep and cropping farmers are all experiencing buoyant prices, and many farmers have enjoyed quite a sustained period of profitability,” she said. “After a slow start, crops are now starting to take off and grain growers are forecasting average to above-average yields. “The continuation of such favourable conditions is really allowing farmers to consolidate their debt, purchase more land to expand their enterprises, and upgrade equipment and infrastructure in their businesses. It really is a phenomenal time for the state’s farmers and any concerns about the impact of COVID-19 restrictions are being offset by these positive factors.” The survey, completed last month, showed 34 percent of the state’s farmers thought conditions could improve even further over the year ahead, up from 25 percent last quarter, while 57 percent expected current conditions to remain. Six percent, down from nine percent, expected conditions to worsen. Of the small proportion expecting conditions to worsen, few attributed their negative sentiment to COVID-19. Of those Victorian farmers expecting conditions to improve, 79 percent attributed their optimistic outlook to commodity prices – compared with 69 percent last quarter – while 71 percent pointed to continuing good seasonal conditions. The survey recorded a significant jump in confidence among the state’s grain growers since a June survey, with 63 percent tipping an improvement in business conditions – up from 22

percent last quarter, while 37 percent of growers expected similar conditions to last year. The survey also reflected improvement in the sheep sector, with 70 percent expecting similar conditions to last year, while 22 percent expected conditions to improve. Business confidence remained strong among beef producers, with 33 percent expecting business conditions to improve and 56 percent anticipating a continuation of current conditions during the next year. “Commodity prices are still outstanding for beef and sheep meat, which is helping position producers well for the year ahead,” Ms Maskell-Davies said. She said the survey revealed farmers in the Wimmera-Mallee and Murray-Goulburn Valley as well as the High Country were particularly buoyed by the season, but added parts of the Mallee remained dry and spring rain would be essential for production.

Enterprise performance

With such a positive outlook for agricultural business conditions for the year ahead, Victorian farmers were accordingly optimistic about the expected performance of their farm enterprises. The survey found 43 percent of the state’s producers expected their farm incomes to increase in the next 12 months – up from 32 percent – while a further 47 percent expected a similar financial result to last year. Those expecting a weaker financial result stood at nine percent – down from 16 percent last quarter. Victorian grain and beef producers were optimistic about the prospects for their gross farm incomes, with 46 percent of grain and beef producers, respectively, expecting a stronger gross farm income in 2021-22. With the anticipated boost to farm incomes, Victoria’s farmers held strong investment plans for the year ahead. The survey found 37 percent intended to increase investment and 56 percent expected to maintain investment at current levels. Of those looking to increase investment, more than three-quarters, 77 percent, had it earmarked for infrastructure spending – such as fences, yards and silos – while new plant-machinery was identified by 55 percent and adopting new technologies by 53 percent. A desire to increase livestock numbers was flagged by 44 percent of the state’s farmers for the year ahead, while there also remained a solid appetite to buy property. Overall, views on viability in Victoria’s farm sector remained strong, with 98 percent of farmers surveyed saying they considered their businesses to be viable. The next survey results, which usually involve a snapshot of 1000 farmers, are scheduled for release in December.

‘I’m here to help’ A

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

Portland-based autism advocate is hoping to help Wimmera people better understand the disorder from the perspective of someone living with it.

Kellie Burke was 15 when she was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ASD, after struggling academically and socially through her formative years. “My mother was a teacher and tried to get me diagnosed but was not taken seriously by the medical profession and even blamed for my ASD,” she said. “As a result my family was denied support. “I was diagnosed when I was 15 when I moved to a private school and really struggled. “It took me 10 years to accept I had autism. I left the community and went to Adelaide with post-traumatic stress disorder and severe depression.” Miss Burke said her decision to advocate for autism sufferers followed another extremely difficult period in her life. “I married in Adelaide but my marriage failed after 13 years and I moved back to Portland and lived with my parents briefly, before they brought me a house and I started to live independently,” she said. “I started the autism advocacy when I went through a really difficult social experience and I was bullied and ostracised for my behaviour. “My nephew was also diagnosed around that time and I worried he would get the same treatment.” In 2019, Miss Burke helped advocate for a partnership group to support people on the spectrum to develop social skills and opportunities. Portland Uniting Church and Kyeema Support Services now run Autism Hang out Portland – or AHoP. “It supports adults on the spectrum and we meet every second Monday via Zoom or face-to-face depending on COVID-19 restrictions,” Miss Burke said. “The church provides tea and coffee and a free meeting space as well as a church staff member contact.

Kellie Burke “Kyeema provides paid staff and some volunteer staff to help with the running of the group. “It has already helped a lot of adults on the spectrum to feel safe and validated and helps support them by providing social mentors and fun activities.” Miss Burke said separate to AHoP, she had made presentations about her experience with autism to community groups and organisations. “I have also spoken to the state Uniting Church council on my personal experiences and taken part in a meeting regarding a disability action plan to be implemented throughout the Uniting Church in Victoria,” she said. “I’m also hoping to benefit people in the Wimmera by providing presentations to groups via Zoom and eventually face-to-face when we are allowed to safely do so. “These presentations help people understand autism from the perspective of someone living it.” Miss Burke said people could send her a message on her ‘A square peg – a personal perspective on autism’ Facebook page for more information.

My Back Just Went! I was only putting my socks on! Why??? Has that ever happened to you? Putting socks on is not a O.H.S. issue – so why does it happen? Generally, what happens the body is designed to keep going, so with a small incident the body adapts. It normalizes this maladaptation, that leads to poor form and poor function, increased problems and it doesn’t show up as pain until the body can’t adapt any further. Chiropractic helps you move and return the body to better alignment.

Work on track at Stawell lab

D MU en S ST 11 UN am DA Y

-3

pm !

“It is incredible to think that what was once a cavern will be a fully functioning physics laboratory in just a few months”

tawell Underground Physics Laboratory has withstood the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic to be on track for completion by the end of the year.

Latest works at the laboratory, which will be the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere, include the construction of structural steel and partitions. Installation of plumbing and electrical services has also started. An update on the construction of the laboratory was part of the official launch of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics last week. The launch celebrated the establishment of the centre, which has brought together researchers from University of Melbourne, Australian National University, University of Adelaide, University of Western Australia, Swinburne University of Technology and University of Sydney, and international and industry partners. The centre’s mission is to ‘discover the particle nature of dark matter, develop new technologies and facilities for the next generation of dark-matter experiments, foster and develop the scientific leaders of the future, develop a cohesive national scientific environment with a strong equity and diversity program and translate new technologies to industry, defence and the public’. The Stawell laboratory, SUPL, will be home to major experiments in the centre’s search for dark matter. Centre director professor Elisabetta Barberio said researchers were anticipating starting work in SUPL in 2022. “The pandemic has caused a lot of unexpected challenges, but it is pleasing to see that the works

–Professor Elisabetta Barberio

on the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory are on track,” she said. “We are looking forward to taking our equipment down into the laboratory and starting to collect data that we hope will help us understand the nature of dark matter. It is incredible to think that what was once a cavern will be a fully functioning physics laboratory in just a few months.” The underground location of the Stawell laboratory aims to reduce interference from cosmic rays, the high-energy particles that constantly rain down on earth. Professor Barberio said she hoped the centre’s research made an impact on understanding a significant part of the universe. “Dark matter constitutes about 85 percent of our universe and the centre aims to carry out ground-breaking research into its nature, playing an important role in our understanding of the universe,” she said. “We are also proud to bring together researchers from around the world to foster the scientific talent of the future.” The ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics was established in 2020. Dark matter is a mysterious substance that holds galaxies together and constitutes 85 percent of the matter of the universe. Its existence is inferred from its gravitational interaction and the exploration of the nature of dark matter is considered science’s next frontier.

McHappy Day approaching Ronald McDonald House Charities has confirmed November 13 as the date for its largest annual money-raiser, McHappy Day. The day has a traditionally strong Wimmera connection, with McDonald’s restaurants in Horsham, Ararat and Stawell all involved in the effort to raise money to support families in need. Licensee of all three restaurants Richard Harris said the money-raising effort was about cutting out some of the elements of stress involved in people quickly needing accomodation while dealing with a sick family member. “In regional communities when the worst possible thing could happen to one of your

children you could find yourself rushing to Melbourne with no plans for accommodation on your mind. That’s where RMHC really steps in to support communities,” he said. “We’ve personally had friends in that situation and on top of the McHappy Day support we also sponsor a bed in one of the family rooms because we know how much it means to regional communities.” McHappy Day is in its 30th year and since inception the event has helped raise more than $56-million to keep Australian families of seriously ill and injured children together in their time of need. Money raised helps families stay close to the care they need while undergoing treatment or

surgery in hospital. Establishing and maintaining Ronald McDonald Houses and services are a key part of the program. There are now 18 Ronald McDonald Houses nationally, with the charity caring for more than 60,000 families every year. McDonald’s customers can support McHappy Day by buying a pair of $5 ‘silly socks’ or ‘helping hands’ for $2, $10 or $50 from McDonald’s stores or via McDelivery from October 20. A McDonald’s donation of $2 from the sale of each Big Mac on November 13 will also go to Ronald McDonald House Charities. People can also make a donation online on website www. rmhc.org.au/give.

Approach with it’s caution THE LAW

uying a home in the Wimmera has become more difficult in the past 18 months or so as house prices have increased and new properties are often purchased quickly.

Buying a new home is often a stressful time and it is easy to get caught up in the qualities of the property – such as a great view or a brand-new kitchen – and failing to carefully consider the risks of the purchase. However, given the amount of money involved with property purchases, it is crucial that you approach the purchase cautiously. When purchasing a property, the agent will normally provide you with a vendor statement, also known as a section-32 statement. In Victoria, Section 32 of the Sale of Land Act 1962 makes it a legal requirement for certain information relating to the property that is for sale, be disclosed by the seller to the buyer. This information is often difficult to understand without a lawyer to decipher what it means for you. A vendor statement can disclose important things such as easements – which gives others rights in relation to the property; restrictions on the use of the property – such as second-hand materials other than bricks cannot be used on dwellings on the property; services connected to the property – such as sewage, gas and electricity; details of any owners corporation; council and water rates owing on the property and other important details. You should have your lawyer review the vendor statement and contract for you be-

with Patrick Smith, LL.B. (Hons) B. Int. St., B.Ec., GDLP

fore signing the contract to highlight risks that you might have not been aware. A lawyer will usually also provide advice in relation to conditions you might wish to include in the contract – such as making the purchase subject to finance approval and satisfactory building and pest reports. If the seller does not comply with their requirements to provide a valid vendor statement a purchaser might be able to terminate the contract at any time up until settlement and severe financial penalties might also be imposed. In certain circumstances a purchaser might be able to sue a seller or their agent following settlement. However, litigation is a much more costly and stressful process than simply walking away from the purchase when problems are revealed prior to entering into the contract. Therefore, I recommend you seek the advice of a lawyer prior to signing the contract. • Patrick Smith is the principal of O’Brien and Smith Lawyers.

Road sealing project complete Widening and sealing of shoulders on a 3.6-kilometre stretch of Woorndoo-Streatham Road off the Glenelg Highway has marked the end of a $1.97-million renewal project. The Federal Government, via its Roads to Recovery program, and Ararat Rural City Council jointly funded the project. Ararat council chief executive Tim Harrison said he was excited to hear the last coat of bitumen went down on the road in a project where weather conditions had forced an extension of construction time. “Finishing works were undertaken by the council’s works team and Rich River last week, includ-

ing regrading and compaction of the road, a final seal applied and guideposts and signs installed to help improve the safety of road users,” he said. “Our staff faced challenges with high rain levels and cold weather, delaying the final roadway seal. “The project paved and sealed 3.6 kilometres of road and widened 6.2 metres to create a stronger, safer pavement for locals and businesses moving freight.” The project was the council’s most significant internal road-construction project for the past financial year. “Woorndoo-Streatham Road is a popular and vital freight route for our region, supporting heavy

freight traffic across the southwest,” Dr Harrison said. “These transport routes are the lifeblood of rural Victoria, requiring continued investment to make them stronger to withstand higher traffic volumes and weather damage. “We want to ensure our freight network remains accessible and resilient – the productivity and growth of our region depends on it. “By investing in road-safety upgrades, our primary local freight routes will become more reliable, productive and resilient, making these roads safer while supporting supply chains to get livestock and grain to market.”

Trial to focus on supporting carers BY SARAH MATTHEWS

Wimmera woman who lost her husband to one of Australia’s deadliest diseases has welcomed a push for more support for carers helping their loved ones battle a ‘devastating’ diagnosis.

Horsham’s Sharon Bethune lost her husband Stewart to pancreatic cancer 13 years ago. More than 3300 Australians die from pancreatic cancer each year, with the average time from diagnosis to death only five months. In an Australian-first, PanKind – the country’s only foundation dedicated to pancreatic cancer – is partnering with QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute to trial a new service that aims to support carers through the ‘devastating impact’ of the disease. The trial aims to determine whether having a nurse provide structured counselling and education to carers of people with pancreatic cancer helps them cope with the challenges they are facing. The trial will also look at whether such a program would be cost effective for the health system. PanKind chief executive Michelle Stewart said while all attention and focus rightly went to the patient, there was little scope to support the effect on carers, who had minimal time to adjust. “Carers of loved ones with pancreatic cancer are twice as likely to experience clinical anxiety than the people they are caring for, no doubt due to unmet support needs that are compounded by the incredibly short timeline from diagnosis to death,” she said.

“In addition to carers being immediately confronted with the need to assist in the management of complex physical symptoms and provide emotional, financial, legal and spiritual support, they also face the impending loss of their loved one. It is a brutal diagnosis and a huge weight to bear.” Mrs Bethune said she welcomed PanKind’s focus on supporting carers. “I think support groups or support services for carers would be great,” she said. “When I went through it there was definitely more help for Stewart than there was for me. The hospice people were fantastic. They asked me how I was, but I wasn’t offered any support services. I don’t even know if there were any. Either way, I was too busy to look for help.” Mr Bethune’s cancer journey started with surgery for a blocked bile duct after he turned ‘bright yellow’. “They didn’t tell us much at the time, but looking back, I could see the staff thought it was strange that we were sent home,” Mrs Bethune said. “Stewart was on the cancer ward of St John of God, but the doctors sent him home. “That was in January, then in early February he had to go back to Ballarat for more tests. “The tests didn’t show anything, so we had to go to St Vincent’s in Melbourne. They had better equipment and discovered a tumour in his pancreas, wrapped around the main artery.” Mrs Bethune said doctors told her husband there was a good chance an operation would be successful. “I was told it would be an eight-hour

operation. He went in early in the morning and I got a call at lunch time to say he was out of surgery and in intensive care,” she said. “When I got to see him, he said the operation was not a success – it was really horrible, I didn’t know what to say.” Mrs Bethune said her husband’s oncologist said if he went well and retained a positive mind, he could ‘still be here at Christmas’. “He started Stewart on chemotherapy, which was supposed to be once a week for the rest of his life,” she said. “After a while he told us the tumour had shrunk and he was going to give Stewart a rest from the chemo – but six weeks later, Stewart was dead.” Mr Bethune died in June 2008, a few

months after diagnosis, shortly after turning 61. Mrs Bethune said the couple’s five children were her biggest support throughout the entire experience. “Our kids were fantastic, they dropped everything,” she said. “They had a roster and any time we were in Ballarat one of them would come and be with us.” Mrs Bethune said Wimmera Hospice Care was also ‘wonderful’, helping equip her husband to die at home, per his wishes. She said caring for her husband was difficult on many levels and some days it was hard to remain positive. “When I had bad days, I would go outside and attack the garden while Stewart slept,” she said.

Mr Paul Plank is a Ballarat-based Orthopaedic Surgeon who specialises in hip, knee and shoulder surgery. His sub-specialty interests include joint replacements, arthroscopy and reconstructions.

Mr Paul Plank has a well-established practice in Ballarat, and operates through St John of God Hospital Ballarat, the Ballarat Day Procedure Centre and Stawell Regional Health.

“He was a very good patient though. He had a lot of patience – which was funny, because he didn’t always have a lot of patience in real life. I think he was so patient because he didn’t want to be a burden or a bother. I imagine some people could be really demanding and that would make looking after them even more difficult.” QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute associate professor Vanessa Beesley and professor Rachel Neale will lead the carers study. Professor Beesley said a feasibility study showed carers highly valued having a nurse-counsellor with clinical expertise, someone outside of the family, ‘to provide support through probably the toughest time of their lives’. “The main perceived benefits were emotional support, the nurse-counsellors’ knowledge, care co-ordination and personalised care,” she said. “The nurse-counsellor was said to become their ‘tower of strength’, helping to prepare them for what is to come and linking in with other health professionals as required. “The nurse-counsellors can help carers at each stage of the journey, including dealing with diagnosis, treatment options, symptoms management, providing strategies for stress management, financial distress, enhancing relationships, end of life care planning and bereavement support.” The institute is recruiting participants for the study. Participants can be from anywhere in Australia but must be the primary carer of a person diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the past three months.

Call to develop ‘creative’ plan

orsham district people who pursue various forms of art and other creative pastimes, hobbies and passions have an invitation to take part in the development of a municipal plan for the sector.

Horsham Rural City Council wants to hear from people who spend time being creative as it develops a new Creative Horsham Plan. Planning is in response to COVID-19 restrictions limiting opportunities for people to gather to celebrate and participate in creative pastimes. Council creative services and events leader Shana Miatke said information people provided would help inform the plan. “The Creative Horsham Plan will guide how council operations tailor and provide services through facilities such as Horsham Town Hall in the future,” she said. “Through the Creative Horsham Plan, the council is also interested in understanding the needs of creative businesses, the opportunities for public art and improving audience experiences. “Input and feedback from people living here and making or consuming art is welcome. “This can include being part of a band

or choir, performing or supporting a theatre group, being part of a dance group or taking dance lessons, learning, playing or performing musical instruments. “It could also include being part of an art group, learning new creative skills through lessons and classes, exhibiting or selling your artwork, providing creative services like graphic design, film, photography, design, film animation or gaming or writing or producing artisan products.” Ms Miatke said when developed, the Creative Horsham Plan would support a council vision for the municipality to be a ‘vibrant, liveable hub that thrived on strong economic growth and social connectedness’. People can contribute to the process by completing a survey, open until the end of September. The 15-minute survey is on website www.hrcc.vic.gov.au/Have-Your-Say/ Creative-Horsham-Plan. There will also be other ways the community can contribute during the next few months. Ms Miatke said people could also call her via the council on 5382 9777. The Creative Horsham Plan will be available for comment later this year.

Men’s Shed upgrade at Kaniva Kaniva Men’s Shed will undergo an upgrade and refurbishment as a result of latest statewide State Government funding for the Men’s Shed program. The $1-million funding round includes

construction of eight new sheds and the renovation of 21 others across Victoria. Men’s Sheds work to improve the health and wellbeing of members by reducing social isolation and promoting inclusion.

Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Neighbourhood clinic well received Horsham Neighbourhood House has hosted a fourth and final COVID-19 vaccine clinic aimed at protecting the region’s vulnerable. Grampians Sub Hub vaccine rollout co-ordinator Genevieve Lilley said Wimmera Health Care Group created the clinics in partnership with Horsham Neighbourhood House and a project group for high-risk accommodation response. “We set up the clinics for people who live in accommodation that might put them at high risk of catching COVID, in shared facilities and situations like that,” she said. “We wanted to set up in a place that was easier for them to get to.

“The team from Grampians Community Health has done some outreach work to those people to try to get them to make bookings and come in.” Ms Lilley said the project had been successful. “We did open up the earlier clinics to the general public, because we didn’t fill up,” she said. “It’s been a really good project. We’ve gotten to know a lot about what is going on in that part of the community – found out who really needed a vaccine. “We’ve managed to vaccinate close to 100 people at each of the clinics.” Horsham Neighbourhood House manager Charlie Helyar said the

organisation was pleased to play a part in the vaccination rollout in the region. “I think the more vulnerable members of our community like to come to a place they know and the house is a place for that,” she said. “The house is a safe place for all Horsham community members so it’s a place where people can come and feel accepted and welcome at any stage.” Ms Lilley said the sub hub was also completing ‘pop-up’ vaccination activities in the region and would inform the community of any further opportunities to become vaccinated. – Sarah Matthews

Get organised...

’ve been farming for a long time, but I never cease to be amazed by the annual cycle of renewal that happens on farms all over Australia in every season.

In a cropping business we take a single seed, we add some water and nutrient. We turn that one seed into hundreds of seeds... into food. There’s no more spectacular example of this annual cycle than in the fields of yellow we see all over our region at this time of year. Two kilograms of canola seed spread over a hectare in April, turned into 2000 to 3000 kilograms of tiny, oil-filled capsules by November. How cool is that? If we think about this in terms of economic benefit, agriculture is one of the few industries that makes new money. Industries such as mining extract a resource and monetise it and manufacturing does add value by taking components and creating a saleable product. But with agriculture, it’s brand-new wealth creation year after year. Why then, have we watched a general decline in the economic health of rural communities during the past 50 years or so? Part of the answer lies in the fact Australia has largely been a commodity producer in agriculture. We grow large volumes of a product and ship it out in bulk form to let someone else do the value adding. As a nation we cannot and should not continue to do this. If we only grow enough food to feed 65-million people, we can feed those who value safe, high-quality food products. The food-manufacturing sector should be a cornerstone of the post-COVID economy.

Secondly, if we think about the value of agriculture at the point food and fibre is in the hands of a consumer, the number is many times the value at farm level. Farmers have first point of control in an incredibly valuable industry, yet a diminishing percentage of that value flows back to farms and regional communities. Influence and control along the supply chain no longer sits with farmers. We can do something about both of these issues, but it requires us to organise ourselves as an industry and as regional people. Individually, we have little influence, but well-organised, professionally managed groups can drive better outcomes for their business and their communities. It’s an opportunity we must embrace.

He was founding chairman of the first Community Bank in Australia, which opened in Rupanyup and Minyip in 1998 and is a non-executive director of the Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Group and Australian Grain Technologies. He has recently established Farm Trade Australia with the intention of building a farmerowned agribusiness on the east coast of Australia. Mr Matthews will present ‘From left field’ column for The Weekly Advertiser’s AgLife feature in the last edition of every month.

Plush on track for stellar season McKenzie Creek’s Nathan Plush is among Wimmerasouthern Mallee farmers pleased with how his crops are performing amid predictions of a record-breaking year for the national agriculture sector. “It’s probably as good as it’s been as long as I’ve been back on the farm, about five years or so,” he said. “We’re set up pretty well for spring, we’re just looking for the finishing rain and the frosts to stay away.” After a dry autumn, Victoria recorded a particularly wet winter, which combined with

forecasts for good spring rain has many of the state’s producers confident of ending the year on a high note. “We didn’t get too wet down our way – we don’t have much low-lying ground, it drains off pretty well,” Mr Plush said. “We’re pretty fortunate, particularly considering how things were looking at the start of May. It turned around pretty quickly, that’s for sure.” Mr Plush also runs 750 breeding merino ewes, ‘which keeps me pretty busy in between cropping’. Life is set to become even

busier in a few months, with Mr Plush and his partner Darcie Hastwell expecting their second child in January. Mr Plush said their son, Percy, was thriving growing up on the farm. “He’s happy and healthy and nearly one,” he said. “He’s just getting to the age where he’s started taking everything in, looking out the window at the sheep and that sort of thing. He’s a dream child – he’s always happy and laughing.” – Sarah Matthews

Josh honoured to ‘get amongst it’ 95 Nelson Street, Nhill CALL 03 5391 2106

BY SARAH MATTHEWS

mmetts Horsham master technician Josh Carter loves the challenges his job brings and the opportunity to help farmers ‘keep doing what they do’.

His zeal for machinery and drive to continue to learn and adapt have paid off in more ways than one, with Mr Carter in the running to be named John Deere Technician of the Year. Mr Carter, 32, is one of five Australian finalists to progress to the next level of judging in the ‘ag and turf service technicians’ category of the inaugural John Deere Technician Awards. The awards recognise the hard work and expertise technicians provide to customers across Australia and New Zealand and their ‘drive to support operators and businesses to be their most efficient, productive and profitable’. The Australian finalists won selection from a pool of more than 110 nominations from across the two countries in five different categories. Mr Carter said it was great to see the role of technicians in the spotlight. “I think it’s unreal that John Deere has given us the opportunity to get out and get amongst it,” he said. “It’s great to see some recognition for the job that we’re here to do.” Mr Carter grew up at Rupanyup, with a fascination for disassembling things to understand how they work.

HARD WORK AND EXPERTISE: Emmetts Horsham master technician Josh Carter is in the running for a John Deere Technician of the Year accolade. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Working for John Deere dealership Emmetts was a natural progression. “I finished year 12 in Murtoa and started my journey with Emmetts in Rupanyup in 2006, straight out of school,” Mr Carter said. “I worked in Rupanyup for almost 15 years and then moved over to Horsham.” Mr Carter said he loved his job. “It’s a great atmosphere,” he said. “It’s really good working with our customers and supporting their end goal and helping them to keep doing what they do.

“It’s a great company to work for – great product, great people and great support from John Deere.” Mr Carter has forged strong bonds with Wimmera producers and has watched their farming businesses – and their uptake of technology – evolve throughout his years with the dealership. “For example, when I started out, AutoTrac automated guidance systems were just beginning to take off and we were completing a lot of installs of that equipment,” he said. “Today, this is technology that’s

integrated into farmers’ day-to-day work, and is now very much relied upon by Australian producers. “This is an industry that never stops evolving, growing and progressing, and I could see the technology integrated into these machines becoming more and more prominent, so I felt it was important to continue to remain engaged, and persist in learning as much as I could.” Mr Carter is also passionate about the next generation of technicians and makes time to work with and coach apprentices and team-mates coming

through the ranks. He plans to continue rising to the challenge. “I’ll follow the product and the progress and the technology through and keep working on bringing up our next generation of techs and keeping our farmers doing what they do,” he said. Fellow finalists include Jaymee Ireland, Emmetts, Roseworthy, South Australia; Henry Finlay, Vanderfield, Dalby, Queensland; Damian Voss, Wickham Flower, Naracoorte, South Australia; Justin Solomon, Vanderfield, Inverell, New South Wales. John Deere Australia and New Zealand managing director Luke Chandler said there was an enormous pool of talent in Australia. “These finalists should feel incredibly proud of being named among the best in their field,” he said. “Technicians deliver services integral to the agriculture, construction and forestry industries, by not only providing vital back-up support and remote diagnostics, but by empowering operators to get the most out of their machinery and technology. “The role technicians play will only grow in importance as the machinery sector moves through a technological leap that will drive industry growth and efficiency, and we are delighted to be paying tribute to our best and brightest at our first ever John Deere Technician Awards.”

Rams go under the hammer

13th Sunnydale White Suffolk Stud sale at Rupanyup presented 100 rams, with 88 finding new homes at an average price of $1514 after going under the hammer of Ross Milne from Elders. The top two rams sold for $3400 to R. J. Bibby and J. M. Grant and Mirnee Partnership Lockington. Auction spokesman Andrew Weidemann said the auction occurred on a day ‘where farmers were smiling with a spot of rain and were able to enjoy lunch supplied by Rabobank and permitted to participate on site or online through AuctionsPlus’. Sunnydale White Suffolk Stud started in 1996

with the purchase of nine ewes and a ram from Depta Grove. The stud has continued to buy some of the best genetics available in rams and ewes from Depta Grove, Anden, Warburn, Ashmore and Ella Matta studs. Mr Weidemann said the animals had produced excellent growth rates, which supported and confirmed the breed’s qualities. “It has been very pleasuring to see clients regularly achieving excellent prices for their progeny, which enforces our aims of breeding sheep for the commercial prime lamb industry,” he said. Flock rams are still available for sale for buyers unable to attend the sale on the day.

A stark reminder

ast week’s earthquake has jolted me into a more reflective time.

I’ll admit, I feared for my life as my house heaved and groaned and I tried desperately to work out what was happening. I live in Benalla, just 60 kilometres from the epicentre near Mansfield, so the quake was strong and lasted quite a while. My home is just a hundred metres or so from the Melbourne-Sydney rail line and my first thought was it must be one of those freight trains with hundreds of carriages and shipping containers being derailed and thrown like deadly Lego pieces towards my house. The bookcase behind me, which is in two parts to make it easier to move, was shaking violently and threatening to topple on top of me. I decided to make a bolt to the back garden because the large pane windows in the living area shook like a flag in gale force winds, vibrating angrily, surely about to shatter into tiny pieces. I won’t repeat what I said as I stood with my dogs in the centre of the lawn, but the neighbours echoed my sentiments across the fence and we agreed it was an earthquake. The dogs didn’t give a fig! The only damage was dust and plaster falling off ceilings and a pot plant overturned. Within seconds the phone began to ring with family members checking on each other. My daughter in London had even heard and was desperately trying to call her brother in Melbourne after pictures of a collapsed building in Prahran were sent to her by a friend. We quickly started making the predictable corny jokes about the earth moving to appease how foolish we felt for fearing for our lives. But

it was a stark reminder of powers greater than ours will inevitably take us from this life and that it could be so much sooner than we think. It was the first time for my kids to be faced with the force of nature and is only making our isolation from each other all the harder to bear. It has also caused me to pause and contemplate some of the inexplicably cruel things I have witnessed and reported. The first that I rarely talk about is the Martin Bryant Port Arthur massacres. I had small children at the time and declined a request to go to Tasmania to report on it for ABC TV. Instead, I was the main ‘man’ for transcribing the interviews as they came in. At least I got to go home to my family like so many others would never be able to do. The other was Black Saturday. This time I was back in my first love, radio, and we hit the road to broadcast from various fire-refuge centres. I’ll never forget the smell and the ash falling like snow as people posted to the notice board pictures of their missing loved ones. After more than 35 years as a journalist, I like to think of myself as being pretty hardened to the news. Then something else comes along to remind me of how fragile we all really are.

Kids galore at Sylvania Park Spring represents the arrival of new life and at Sylvania Park angora goat farm near Horsham new life is well and truly emerging. The farm has started a bumper birthing season with property owner Rowena Doyle expecting to expand her flock to 200 by November. Mrs Doyle said she had a flock full of pregnant goats and many kids had already arrived. “Breeding season is now, in the warmer weather,” she said. The Doyles farm the goats for their mohair, rated as one of the world’s most durable natural fibres, and their meat. Mrs Doyle said the goats were

shorn twice a year for their mohair and the meat side of the enterprise had become a big part of the equation. “We didn’t use to have much of an income from the meat side of it, but that’s changed. Now we’re getting about $10.20 per kilo for a carcass,” she said. Sylvania Park is an awardwinning agri-tourism business, which apart from running angora goats, also operates a function centre popular with weddings, conferences, parties and other events and four-star homestead accommodation. It is celebrating its 51st year of running goats at the Drung property and has in the past

captured the imagination of the region with its use of maremma dogs to guard the animals. “Last year we were going to have a big celebration for half a century, but unfortunately COVID got in the way,” Mrs Doyle said. She said her daughter Charlotte, 10, might eventually take over the business. “But she’s only in grade four so it’s too early to tell. It’s very much a family business. It all started with my uncle and then my parents took over, and then my husband and I. Certainly the children have all enjoyed looking after the animals and being on the farm,” she said.

Growers urged to have say

oolgrowers across Australia can vote for their preferred industry levy rate, with voting for WoolPoll 2021 having opened earlier this month.

Occurring every three years, WoolPoll is a voluntary vote of all wool-levy payers through which the industry decides on a levy-rate investment in the Australian Wool Innovation activities involving research, development and marketing. Anyone who has paid at least $100 in wool levies over the past three years is eligible to vote. An independent WoolPoll 2021 panel includes Wimmera grower Daniel Rogers from Telangatuk East. Panel chair Steven Bolt, a mixed farmer at Corrigin, Western Australia, is encouraging eligible levy payers to have their say on the direction of the wool industry by voting. “The poll is unique among Australia’s agricultural sectors,” he said. “Few industries have a process where producers can vote on the levy rate they believe they should be paying. “As woolgrowers, we are empowered with the ability to determine what our industry levy rate should be. It’s our wool and our industry, and now we can have our say about how much we should pay for research and development and marketing as an investment in our future.” Mr Bolt said the Australian wool industry was emerging from a challenging period – including drought, a declining national flock and the supply-demand impact of the global pandemic. “We have certainly been confronted by testing times, but we are a proud industry and I expect

the resilience of our woolgrowers and their determination to ensure their future prosperity and that of their neighbours and peers will be reflected in a strong voter turnout for WoolPoll 2021,” he said. “The voter information memorandum has been sent out to all registered levy payers and is also available on the WoolPoll website, so I encourage all woolgrowers to read through that and make an informed decision about their levy rate of choice.” Growers have up to five options of levy rate to support and can vote for one or more levy rates in order of preference. The options growers can vote on as their preferred levy rate are zero percent, one percent, 1.5 percent, two percent and 2.5 percent. This year’s WoolPoll will feature a supplementary question which will ask woolgrowers whether they want a five-year WoolPoll cycle, or if they want to remain with the current threeyear voting cycle. “This gives woolgrowers even more say in the direction of the wool industry,” Mr Bolt said. Mr Rogers said WoolPoll presented growers with a unique opportunity. “As we look to rebuild our national flock and galvanise our industry, each and every vote in WoolPoll is incredibly important,” he said. “Discuss the options with your families, farm managers, business partners and employees. Read the voter information memorandum, make an informed decision and then cast your vote.” Voting for WoolPoll 2021 closes on November 5. Information is available on 1800 990 365 and producers can vote either online at www.wool poll.com.au or via email, fax or post.

Mental-health support for all

immera-Mallee and Ararat district organisations are among recipients of State Government money for projects to support the mental health of Victorian farmers.

Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas visited Elmhurst Bush Nursing Centre to see first-hand the benefits of the Resilient Farming Communities Project. Agriculture Victoria and Department of Health have joined forces for the two-year program to support farmers, farming families and communities to better manage stress and improve their health. Grampians Pyrenees Primary Care Partnership, which runs the Resourceful Farmers’ Project in partnership with community organisations such as Elmhurst Bush Nursing Centre, was among recipients. The Grampians PCP project is designed to build resilience through mental-health training, pop-up clinics and events that foster social connections. Wimmera Primary Care Partnership Farming and Rural Resilience and Buloke Shire Council Building a Better Buloke – Resilience projects were also among recipients spread across more than 25 municipalities. Eleven councils, Primary Care Partnerships and private organisations are

Projects include outreach services, on-farm health workshops, wellbeing plans for rural communities, the provision of resilience programs in

secondary schools, and mental-health first-aid training. The Resilient Farming Communities Project is part of an overarching $20-million Smarter Safer Farms program to promote safety, efficiency and resilience in Victorian agriculture. Ms Thomas said the State Government was building the agriculture sector’s reputation for workplace excel-

lence through improved health, safety and wellbeing programs. “Our farmers have faced many challenges over the years, including drought, bushfires and now the pandemic, which all take their toll on resilience,” she said. “This project ensures farmers and their communities are supported to focus on their mental health.”

he State Government has opened a funding stream to support small-scale and craft agribusinesses while promoting high-quality produce and regional tourism.

Agriculture Minister Mary-Anne Thomas opened stream three of the Small-Scale and Craft Program during a tour of western Victoria and while visiting Central Highlands micro flower farm Fleurs de Lyonville. Fleurs de Lyonville and other small-scale and craft producers across Victoria – including gourmet pie producers, olive growers, saké distillers and alpaca farmers – have received grants through previous streams of the program. Stream three offers grants of between $25,000 and $100,000 for

eligible agribusinesses. The Wimmera is home to a variety of niche agricultural craft and produce enterprises that regularly have their products on sale in shops and markets across the region and beyond. The grants will support projects that showcase multiple producers and support the creation of distinct visitor experiences, creating tourist attractions ‘that put their region on the map’. Ms Thomas said the government was helping small agribusinesses grow, which would in turn boost visitation to regional towns and create jobs. She said the program was a key pillar of its agriculture strategy. “The Small-Scale and Craft Program supports the vision for an agriculture sector that is strong, innovative and sustainable,” she said.

“It is a $10.2-million program over four years that delivers on the government’s election commitment. “Victoria’s small-scale and craft sector is central to our agri-tourism appeal and reputation as a producer of high-quality, niche agricultural offerings. “From truffles to craft beer, Victoria’s small-scale producers create food and beverage offerings worth discovering. “Our small-scale and craft sector is making a name for itself on the global stage and continues to grow as more creative Victorians use their skills and passion to make the world-class produce that our state is known for.” People can find out more about the program online at agriculture.vic. gov.au/smallscaleandcraftprogram.

Forecasts for big agricultural year

fficial data from Australia’s agricultural science and economics arm backs up on-ground predictions of a record-breaking year in the national agriculture sector.

It also reflects a combination of strong commodity prices, adding fuel to hopes of a bumper Wimmera harvest and rising trends in farm-industry confidence. The Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences, ABARES, has predicted an eight percent increase in the value of national production above a 2020-21 record. This would place the sector’s national earning at $73-billion, a figure that has quickly spread throughout farming and economic fraternities and far from lost on Wimmera-Mallee and Western District communities exploring socio-economic navigation routes out of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the pandemic hitting

various sectors hard, numerous financial commentators and industry leaders have long been suggesting that primary industry had the potential to provide some buffer against the full financial impact on the national economy. Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud said ABARES described the forecast as ‘remarkable in unprecedented economic times’. “We’re looking at our second good year in a row, with a bumper crop harvest, international demand for our produce and a strong market for livestock,” he said. “We’ve got all our ducks in a row for a record year again underpinned by our Ag 2030 plan to help agriculture trash its $100-billion goal by 2030.” Mr Littleproud said expectations for a bumper winter crop harvest were combining with strong prices and greater demand for grain, cotton and sugar. Amid his delight in speaking

There is only one week left for people to apply for a 2022 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award. Award organisers are encouraging female leaders who want to have an impact, be innovative and make a difference in rural and regional Australia to apply. AgriFutures Australia managing director John Harvey said women who wanted to contribute to enhancing the prosperity of rural and regional Australia should apply before October 8. “The award provides a life-changing opportunity for women to use and develop their skills to make a difference and benefit their industries and communities,” he said. “Over the past two decades, the Rural Women’s Award has provided close to 300 women with the opportunity to achieve positive change for rural and regional Australia and significant professional development opportunities.” AgriFutures Australia is seeking applications from women with an established project, business or program that is having a positive impact on rural industries, businesses and communities. “It is an exciting time ahead and the Rural Women’s Award is just one of many AgriFutures Australia initiatives ensuring rural and regional industries prosper now and into the future,” Mr Harvey said. “As has been the case in previous years, location is a no barrier – applicants can live in rural and regional Australia, or in the city – their applications will be measured on the impact and benefits to rural and regional Australia.” Each state and territory winner receives a $15,000 bursary provided by platinum sponsor Westpac, to further develop their project,

on the forecast, Mr Littleproud was also quick to put the figures into perspective. “It’s not all smooth sailing. COVID-19 continues to provide challenges internationally, although we are working as a government to do what we can to boost international trade,” he said. “We have listened to concerns about labour shortages and we are progressing the agricultural visa to make sure we can get fruit picked and veggies out of the ground. “We are also keeping an eye on mouse numbers through the spring. “This is a year to be proud of. It shows just how strong the agriculture sector is, despite the uncertainty of a global pandemic. “Australians backed our farmers during the tough years of drought and we are now seeing those very farmers help the Australian community and economy through and beyond the pandemic.”

DEDICATED: Kelly Barnes of Dunkeld won the 2020 Victorian AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award and is dedicated to providing ways for rural people to build resilience and connectedness in their communities. business or program, access professional development opportunities and national alumni networks. The 2022 AgriFutures Rural Women’s Award national winner and runner-up, selected from the state and territory winners and announced at a gala dinner, will receive a further $20,000 and $15,000 respectively. People can apply online at www.agrifutures. com.au/rwa. Applications for a new AgriFutures Rural Women’s acceleration grant also close on October 8.

Priced from $256,700 plus on-road costs and due next month, the T-Spec is based on the GT-R Premium Edition but adds exclusive carbon-ceramic brakes, a carbon-fibre rear spoiler, unique engine cover, exclusive badging front and rear and a few extra niceties inside the cabin such as quilt-stitched Alcantara roof lining, suede A-pillar trim and model-exclusive kick plates. Nissan says the ‘T-Spec’ nameplate ‘represents the GT-R’s philosophy of leading and shaping the times and is inspired by the words trend and traction’. Power will once again come from

Just 100 examples of the T-Specs are being produced, however Nissan Australia has managed to secure at least a few units of the T-Spec Premium, known as the ‘T-Spec’ here, before the GT-R is forced from our market by new Australian Design Rule regulations that come into ef-

the familiar twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre V6 petrol engine, still good for 419kW-632Nm. As usual, that monumental grunt is shipped to all four wheels via a sixspeed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Instead of receiving the T-Spec Track edition engineered by Nismo, Australia is being treated to a new GT-R performance hero in the form of the Nismo SV that takes the already insane Nismo and throws a heap of extra gear at it. Priced from $393,800, the SV is $5800 more expensive than the regular Nismo, but the extra outlay is offset by a clear-coated carbon-fibre

bonnet – allegedly saving 100g – and exclusive 20-inch Rays aluminium forged wheels. Compared with the ‘standard’ GTRs, the Nismos up the ante considerably in terms of power and torque with official outputs pegged at 441kW652Nm courtesy of new high-precision, weight-balanced parts including piston rings, connecting rods, crankshaft, flywheel, crank pulley and tighter tolerance valve springs. Nissan Australia managing director Adam Paterson said the GT-R had earned its place at the pinnacle of performance around the world, acting as a true automotive icon for more than 50 years.

“This isn’t the end of the GT-R story in Australia, but it will mark the closure of this chapter for this generation vehicle,” he said. “And there is surely no more fitting a send-off for this performance hero than with an expanded range offering that includes not one but two thrilling special editions.” Despite its age, sales of the GT-R are up 18.8 percent so far this year ending August 31, with the 19 deliveries accounting for an admittedly slim 2.5 percent of the $200,000-plus coupe segment – well behind the leading Porsche 911 with 38.2 percent. – Callum Hunter

Aus keen on H6S coupe-SUV

aval has expanded its H6 mid-size SUV range with the coupe-styled H6S unveiled at the recent Chengdu motor show and the Chinese brand’s Australian operation is keen for it to join the local line-up.

Although it is yet to be decided whether the SUV brand of Great Wall Motors will export the H6S to these shores, GWM Australia and New Zealand head of marketing and communications Steve Maciver said the group ‘certainly likes the look of what we see and have indicated as much to our head office colleagues’. The H6S, apart from its chamfered tail-end, achieves a radically different look to the regular H6 with a distinctive and aggressive front bumper treatment that accentuates the slim shape of the headlights – shared with the wagon – to lend the car an imposing look reminiscent of the Lamborghini Urus but which Haval says is inspired by a shark. Rather than the wagon’s conventional grille meeting the bonnet shutline, a solid section of bumper bar bridges the headlights, topped by a slim scoop-like intake above the large Haval badge and underlined by a deep trapezoidal lower intake with chrome mesh. The rear gets an extreme makeover with a dramatic wing on the roof and

a duck-tail spoiler integrated into the bootlid, unique tail-lights with a similar stepped shape to the headlights and reflector pods giving the rear quarter panels a flared look where they meet the bumper. Compared with the tame back bumper of the H6 wagon, the H6S has a chunky diffuser-like arrangement flanked by large rectangular exhaust tips. The effect is finished off with black plastic wheelarch extensions far bulkier than those of the H6 wagon and matching the finish of the rear diffuser, finned side skirts – another shark-inspired touch – before wrapping under the front bumper where NEW STOCK

they meet a trio of slatted air vents. All the styling’s performance intent is backed up by a hybrid driveline built around the 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine of the regular H6 and claimed to develop 179kW-530Nm – close to the 183kW generated by a Ford Escape but with 143Nm more torque. Unless the H6S is incredibly heavy, Haval’s 0-100kmh in 7.5 seconds claim seems conservative considering the Escape is capable of this run in the low sixes. More realistic for a hybrid is the brand’s fuel consumption figure of 4.9L-100km. Inside is a cabin similar to that of the H6 wagon but trimmed with the timehonoured sporty touches including NEW STOCK

yellow contrast stitching, carbon-look trim, tombstone-style sports seats and smatterings of suede-like upholstery. Seven driving modes are offered, comprising eco, off-road, race, sand, snow, sport and standard. If imported, the swoopy H6S would follow Renault’s similarly sleek – if more restrained – Arkana onto the market, the Korean-made Kadjar replacement priced from $33,990 before on-road costs, compared with the existing wagon-bodied Haval H6 that starts from $30,990 driveaway. Before the Arkana, Mitsubishi’s Eclipse Cross established the combination of sloping SUV roof silhouette and affordable price, opening pro-

ceedings at $31,490 driveaway. All represent a migration of the coupeSUV genre from European luxury brands to the mainstream, embodied by a proliferation of fastback Volkswagen crossovers in overseas markets including the Atlas Cross Sport, North America, T-Cross-based Nivius, South America, and sub-Tiguan Tayron X, China. Haval has not released dimensions of the H6S but at 4653mm, the H6 wagon is 85mm longer than the Arkana and 65mm wider than the 1821mm Renault, making it one of the mid-size SUV segment’s larger contenders and representing a lot of metal for the money. In the luxury sector where coupeSUVs are widespread, they tend to command a premium over their boxierbodied stablemates, so the H6S could approach Arkana money if sold here. However, with the punchy hybrid drivetrain, the H6S could carry an even more substantial premium. To the end of August this year, the H6 has reached 1800 deliveries to become Australia’s second most-popular Haval after the now-discontinued H2. The H2’s replacement, the Jolion, is on track to quickly overtake its predecessor in terms of sales with 1786 units sold to August 31. – Haitham Razagui

First batch of Ioniq 5 EVs on way

yundai Motor Company Australia has priced its first bespoke EV, the Ioniq 5, from $71,900 plus on-road costs and secured an initial allocation of 400 units that will be offered exclusively through an online direct-tocustomer model.

NEW LOOK: The Ioniq 5 resembles nothing in the current HMCA or wider Hyundai Motor Group portfolio with a surprisingly boxy and angular design for an EV. compared with the AWD’s 225kW605Nm. The AWD is predictably the more athletic of the two, stopping the clock from 0-100kmh in 5.2 seconds and accelerating from 80-120kmh in 3.8s. While the 2WD may not possess quite the same firepower as its all-paw sibling, it will still go from 0-100kmh in a nippy 7.4 seconds, 80-120kmh in 4.7s and top out at the same 185kmh. Where it gets the better of the AWD is in its driving range; 451km v 430km. It is a similar story with charging.

When hooked up to a 50kW fast charger, the AWD takes an extra five minutes, 56 v 61, to go from 10 to 80 percent, despite the pair sharing the same 72.6kwh battery capacity. Connecting the Ioniq 5 to a 350kW fast charger – the maximum charging power – cuts both times down to a little over 17 minutes. As previously reported by GoAuto, the Ioniq 5 resembles nothing in the current HMCA or wider Hyundai Motor Group portfolio with a surprisingly boxy and angular design for an EV, putting many in mind of the old Lan-

cia Delta Integrale. The same cannot be said about the cabin, which is ruled by the ‘floating’ dashboard and wideopen foot well. Drivers are greeted by a two-spoke multi-function steering wheel and a Mercedes-style dual 12.3-inch screen arrangement comprising digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. The infotainment system itself sports Apple CarPlay-Android Auto and Bluetooth connectivity, includes native satellite navigation and pumps its audio though an eight-speaker Bose sound system.

Two versions of the same eponymous trim level kick-start the Ioniq portfolio Down Under, with the only choice being between rear or allwheel-drive – the latter commanding a $4000 premium in return for the additional engineering complexity, materials and power. Under the new sales system, customers who have already placed a deposit through dealerships will be given priority to secure their vehicle this week while those who have previously registered their interest will be given 24 hours to order as of October 12. At the end of those 24 hours, remaining stock will be opened up to the general public. HMCA chief executive Jun Heo said the online sales model was designed to provide a fair allocation of the limited initial supply in response to overwhelming demand. Both versions of the Ioniq 5 rely on a 72.6kWh lithium-ion battery to power their axle-mounted electric motors, with the 2WD developing a total system output of 160kW-350Nm

Other standard equipment highlights include 20-inch alloy wheels, LED head, tail and guide lights, leather upholstery, power door handles and boot, 12-way power adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation, a heated two-way power-adjustable second row, position memory function for all seats, dual-zone climate control, heated steering wheel and adjustable ambient lighting. Matte paint finish costs an extra $1000. As ever for a modern HMCA product, the full SmartSense safety suite has been included as standard in addition to the usual array of airbags, traction and stability controls and ABS. “It is our great pleasure to introduce the futuristic Ioniq 5 battery-electric medium SUV, as the first model from our Ioniq EV sub-brand,” Mr Heo said. “The powerful, long-range, ultrafast charging Ioniq 5 represents the leading edge in zero-emissions battery-electric vehicles and is certain to delight customers.” HMCA has offered two fully electric models prior to the Ioniq 5, the Ioniq small car and Kona Electric compact SUV, however neither is built or developed on a bespoke EV platform like the Ioniq 5’s e-GMP architecture. – Callum Hunter

Christian Devotions

Smile!

There is one thing we can all do to help manage stress and restore hope. It can result in a “snowball” effect of joy as it gathers momentum, being passed from one person to another, to another, to another and so on. This one thing is, a SMILE. A few smile quotes to cheer us on - Life is like a mirror; Smile at it and it smiles back at you. All the statistics in the world can’t measure the warmth of a smile, Chris Hart. Share your smile with the world. It’s a symbol of friendship and peace, Christie Brinkley. A smile is a friend maker, Bangambiki Habyarimana. It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving, but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living, F. Scott. Peace begins with a smile, Mother Teresa. You’ll find that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile, Charlie Chaplin. A smile can help reduce stress, share warmth and acceptance, dissipate fear and welcome freedom. A smile is contagious and can change the whole landscape of your “world”. It costs nothing more than the time it takes – “to smile”, to show warmth, gentleness and kindness. The bible talks about the joy of the Lord being our strength and says, “a merry heart does good like a medicine”. If we learn to reach out to one another with a smile, we open the door to release this joy. Irene Gould – Pastor, Stawell Baptist Church

Country Today Weekdays from noon on

Murtoa showcase despite no fans T

BY JOSH MILLER

he committee and members at Murtoa Racing Club could be forgiven for thinking they have been cursed the past few years. Saturday’s cup meeting will take place behind closed gates for the second year running, while the two previous feature days fell victim to circumstance. But rather than look back and lament, the club is determined to showcase a great day’s racing at one of country racing’s hidden gems. Manager Penny Penfold said the club was gearing up for a big day of racing. “Obviously we’d love to welcome a crowd, but that’s just not the situation at the moment,” she said. Ms Penfold said Murtoa would host the first heat of the Melbourne Cup Carnival Country Series. She said it was a race that resulted in the first two horses past the post gaining entry into the final at Flemington during

Melbourne Cup week, a race worth $500,000. “We’re stoked to host a country series qualifier here. To have a race worth $100,000 on our cup program is brilliant,” she said. It was a successful long weekend for Wimmera jockeys last week, with the old and the new taking out feature races across the state. Veteran hoop Dean Yendall produced the perfect front-running ride aboard the Shane Nicolls-trained So You Assume to take out the Group Two Stocks Stakes at Moonee Valley on Friday last week. Yendall controlled the race from the front and was never headed as he notched up his fourth win from five starts on the four-year-old mare. Fast forward to Sunday where apprentice jockey Tatum Bull claimed the Coleraine Cup for trainer Nick Smart, overcoming some late traffic to score on Silent Command. Bull sat off a hot speed and had a lap full of horse round-

ing the home bend where she switched to the outside of runners and finished hard to score by a length. It was Silent Command’s second Coleraine Cup win in as many years and a great way for the young hoop to kick-start the Country Cups season. There was a big set of jumpouts at Ararat last week, which hosted 130 runners, headlined by Group One-winning sprinter Savatoxl. The Tony and Calvin McEvoytrained gelding looked ominously sharp, clearly recording the fastest 850 metres of the morning in what appeared an effortless display. Of the locals, Doug Whitworth looks to have a handy runner with his four-year-old mare Onemore Dance winning her second trial from three attempts. The unraced daughter of Onemorenomore led throughout the trial, recording a comfortable win in modest time. She looks set to debut at Murtoa on Saturday.

Close finish in Terowrie race Terowrie is close on 500 airline kilometres from Horsham Racing Pigeon Club members’ backyard lofts and a race from the South Australian town produced a close finish. For many in the broader pigeon racing fraternity this is regarded as a 300-mile race and dates back to the early 1900s. The Horsham club had two races from Terowrie, an open race for all age racing pigeons and the other for pigeons in their first year of racing. Bill Hartigan scored a win by two seconds from John Aisbett in the open race, with Rob Nelson a further 18 seconds away in third. These leading pigeons averaged 61kmh and were 16 minutes ahead of the next batch after allowing for overfly. The open race was the fifth of 11 races for the club’s 2021 championship aggregate. Hartigan also won his section for large race teams and Ken Kerr with a small race team of five pigeons, was fourth overall and first in

his section. Terowie racing followed mid-week 145km championship racing from Mortlake, which John Muszkieta, 925.5 metres a minute, won from Dennis Smith and the McPhee family. Terowrie open – Section one for small teams: 1, Ken Kerr at 976.28 metres a minute; 2, Bruce Rentsch 973.56mm; 3, P. and J. McPhee 944.11mm. Section two for large race teams: 1, Bill Hartigan 1008.87mm; 2, John Aisbett 1008.79mm; 3, Rob Nelson 1008.19mm. The club also entered an annual breeders plate race from Terowrie, with a release of 115. Seven members had entries in the leading batch into Horsham within five minutes after more than eight hours of flying. The winning pigeon owned by John Muszkieta, 1007.66, was three minutes ahead of an entry by Bruce Rentsch. Third place went to the McPhee family.

undreds of kilometres on the road combined with patience and belief on the training track paid huge dividends for Stawell ownertrainer Ray Harvey at Kilmore on Friday night.

Kilmore provided the backdrop from Harvey’s equine project The Penny Drops, which took out the $25,000 trotters cup. The full-time truck driver and part-time horseman’s five-yearold gelding punched on manfully after racing in the breeze throughout the 3150-metre staying contest and nudged out the leader Robbie Royale – Chris Alford. Driver Grant Campbell said the performance was a credit to Harvey. “The horse always had ability, but Ray has just taken him nice and slowly,” he said. “Trips across to Adelaide for their distance races really helped him to develop.” The 2021 South Australian Trotters Cup winner landed his second group-status victory on Friday, just reward for Harvey’s perseverance after having many reasons to doubt the trotter’s chances in his early days. The Penny Drops earned his

Picture: CLAIRE WESTON PHOTOGRAPHY name because he initially would only ever walk backwards, until one day Harvey’s partner, Moira Hateley, happened to walk past him. The youngster followed, so Moira walked a lap with him behind her. From thereon he gradually learned the trade – as Harvey said, ‘the penny dropped and he was fine’.

“I didn’t really want to be in the death,” Campbell said after the race. “I had a little look for the lead early. I didn’t think I would get it, but then I thought, ‘well that will be enough for someone to come around and give me cover’, but no one did. “So a lap out I thought we might be able to out-tough the horses around me and if nothing

comes from further back – that was the way it turned out.” A 28-second third quarter made it difficult for the three-wide chain to make any ground and The Penny Drops won his battle with Robbie Royale and Kyvalley Chief – Greg Sugars – down the home straight to secure the victory. – From Harness Racing Victoria

Caris a standout Former Horsham Saints netballer Maggie Caris is continuing to star at a higher level, winning national and state recognition for 2021. Netball Australia named Caris among 26 netballers in a 2021-22 Australian 19 and under squad, labelling participants ‘the future’ of the sport. Members of 19 and 17 and under squads won selection on a range of attributes, including demonstrated skill and the potential for performance growth. National Centre of Excellence head coach Michelle Wilkens, who headed the selection panel, said squads were chosen differently this year after the National Netball Championships were cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. She said the selection of both squads highlighted the strength and depth of the national network pathway. “Selecting a squad is always challenging, especially when you look at the quality of athletes who are progressing through the Netball Australia pathway,” she said. “In spite of the chal-

lenges to elite sport with COVID-19, we know there is plenty of promise in these squads that we look forward to igniting at training camps and other opportunities over the next year.” Caris, who hails from Quantong, is no stranger to representative netball and is a regular feature in state and national squads. The star defender also stood out in this year’s Victorian Netball League competition, where she plays goal keeper for Melbourne University Lightning. Although the pandemic prevented a full VNL season, teams contested 11 rounds. Netball Victoria has announced 2021 award winners, with most-valuable players, ‘hot shots’ leading shooters and team of the year named for championship, division-one and 19 and under competitions. Caris was among defenders named in the division-one team of the year. A talented sportswoman, she was also drafted to AFLW side Melbourne in October last year.

SEASON’S BEST: Jodie Hayes and Kieran Delahunty with their Wimmera Football Netball League Hatcher and Toohey medals. Picture: PAUL CARRACHER

Pair secures top individual prizes

inyip-Murtoa’s Kieran Delahunty and Southern Mallee Giants player Jodie Hayes are the toast of Wimmera Football Netball League after winning best-andfairest awards.

Follower Delahunty won his second Toohey Medal, the league’s highest individual football accolade after polling 22 votes during last week’s count. He won from Stawell coach Thomas Eckel, 16, and Southern Mallee leader Coleman Schache, 14. Delahunty won his first Toohey Medal in 2014. Hayes won the league’s prestigious Hatcher Medal as A Grade best and fairest, polling 15 votes to finish one vote ahead of Meg Cashin, Minyip-Murtoa, Emma Koschitzke, Warrack Eagles, and Racquel Scott, Ararat, who tied in a three-way runners-up result. Tamika Mentha from Horsham was next with 12 votes. Hayes said she was shocked in winning the Hatcher Medal. “I was very honoured. It was very unexpected to say the least. It was a tight count so I was sitting on the edge of my seat for those last couple of rounds,” she said. “I’ve had a really enjoyable year. It’s been nice to play some consistent netball with a bunch of girls that are quite talented and all bringing something different to the court. “It’s been nice to have some fresh perspectives and be coached by Michaela George. It’s been a

really special year out at the Giants. I’ve gone there with a few close friends but also met a lot of new people who I have really enjoyed playing with as well. “I thank the club – it’s really a great small community – and of course our coach and girls I’ve played alongside this year. “It’s been a treat turning up to training each week and giving it our all on game day. There’s been a lot of people who have put a lot of hard work into keeping the season going this year.” Delahunty described his Toohey Medal win as a surreal feeling. “I didn’t expect anything like that would happen. It was quite a shock,” he said. On winning his second medal and joining elite company, he added: “From what I’ve heard about those players, you don’t put yourself in that category. Maybe it’s something you reflect on at the end of the career, but it was a nice result. It’s fantastic to be part of it with coaches and team-mates, and support staff. It’s been a fantastic year and we got the best out of the season that we could have.” The teams of both winners were preparing for finals, which officials were forced to abandon due to State Government COVID-19 roadmap directions. Last week’s senior football and A Grade counts were broadcast on radio station 3WM and streamed live via the station’s YouTube channel as part of a league partnership with radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM and The Weekly Advertiser.

McDonald reaches pinnacle Edenhope’s Tom McDonald has made the history books as an AFL premiership player following Melbourne Football Club’s epic drought-breaking victory in Perth on Saturday night. McDonald, who overcame career uncertainty to sign a two-year contract extension last month, is celebrating the pinnacle of his 11-season AFL career. The 28-year-old forward kicked two goals in his side’s 57-point win over the Western Bulldogs, including one after the final siren that secured the Demons’ greatest premiership-winning margin. The Demons selected McDonald with pick 53 in the 2010 National Draft. He told 3WM’s The Shirtfront in the lead-up to Wednesday, September 29, 2021

the grand final that a big off-season played a key role in his form. “Me deciding to come back in really good condition and play some good footy has helped me extend my career here for a few more years,” he said. “It’s been a nice turnaround. As a kid I just loved playing footy and basketball and tennis and all the different sports – I wasn’t like some kids who were solely focused on playing AFL, I just loved playing sport and what came of it, came of it. “I’ve been lucky enough to do it now for 11 years and hopefully a few more – 14 years to the end of my contract, which has been pretty special to be honest.”
