30 YEARS EXPERIENCE
The Red Hill Show – there’s nothing like it NOW in its 85th year, the iconic Red Hill Show will be held on Saturday 30 March on the Easter weekend from 8.30am till 5pm. It’s the agricultural show for all the family – there’s something for all ages. Relax and meander around the Red Hill Showgrounds and enjoy all that the show has to offer. Watch the Whip Industries motorbike team perform high-flying tricks over specially designed jumping ramps. Meet Tubby the Robot and baby and marvel at the stiltwalkers skilfully walking among and above the crowd. Wildlife lovers can visit the Butterfly Adventure marquee to see and touch many beautiful fluttering butterflies. Black Snake Productions, a team dedicated to the conservation of Australia’s wildlife, will talk about the plight of endangered species and offer the opportunity to handle reptiles and snakes in a safe environment. Soak up the sights, sounds and smells of the show with many stallholders selling food including rock pizzas, fresh fruit, Danish pastries, cooked prawns, sauces and jams. Sweet tooths can indulge with a range of fudge and nougat. Do you enjoy watching the TV shows MasterChef or My Kitchen Rules? Head to the open judging of the fruitcakes and non-commercial cheeses. Cheese and yoghurt will be tasted and judged by an acclaimed international cheese judge with the coveted title of Champion NonCommercial Cheese of the 2013 Red Hill Show up for grabs. There will also be a sausage-making competition for all snag lovers. And, even though you’re escaping the hustle and bustle of shopping centres for the day to spend time in the fresh open
air, there will be stalls selling clothing, jewellery, outdoor furniture, garden tools, country antiques and collectables. Let’s not forget the two regular crowd favourites – the woodchop competition and kelpie dogs tackling obstacle courses in the main arena. Children are sure to be on the move and can mingle with and pat Animals on the Move to keep them enthralled.

‘Alice’ appears to appeal for Easter THE garden surrounding Watts Cottage in Sorrento is the setting for an Easter Sunday performance of Alice in Wonderland. The distortions conjured up in the Mad Hatter tea party-themed play will suit the size of the cottage when compared to houses built more recently in the area. John Watts and his wife Jenny reared seven of their nine children in the cottage, “Ilfracombe�, which they built in 1869. The Easter Sunday performance by Sorrento Players is being held in conjunction with the Alice in Wonderland-themed art show at Studio Sorrento. The play and art show are being staged to raise money for a new medical imaging area at Rosebud Hospital. The Mad Hatter will be joined at his table by Alice, the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit and the Queen of Hearts. The tea party at Watts Cottage starts at 11am on Sunday 31 March while the art show runs from Friday 29 March to Monday 1 April at Studio Sorrento, 823 Melbourne Rd, Sorrento (corner Queens Rd). Playful art: Alice (Charlie Carlson), 11, accepts a drink from the Mad Hatter (Jennifer Ellen) with the White Rabbit (Nikolas Ellen) while preparing for Easter Sunday’s Alice in Wonderland play in Sorrento.

Chairlift opposition mounts By Mike Hast ARTHURS Seat residents are objecting to the planned chairlift running above Arthurs Seat Rd at the top of the mountain. Almost 100 people met at Arthurs Hotel last Saturday with meeting convenor Matt Bisogni saying an overwhelming majority did not want the
chairlift to cross the road. The meeting was organised by Friends of Arthurs Seat, formed last year to oppose a new telecommunications tower on the 314-metre high mountain. Mr Bisogni said most residents wanted the new chairlift to occupy the footprint of the old one, which is currently being dismantled (see Page 8).
He said the chairlift, a cafe and a proposed viewing tower would be “brutal for the precinct� as there was insufficient parking. “The car parks are full most weekends during good weather and traffic can be chaotic.� Residents were worried about the bulk of the top station, he said.

The precinct has 160 car parks. The existing chairlift has not operated since May 2006 when the last of three major incidents saw WorkSafe shut it down permanently. This followed the January 2003 collapse of one of eight pylons that injured 12 people and stranded dozens more. In March 2004 an elderly woman’s
legs were crushed when her chair slid down the cable and collided with another chair. The new chairlift will be built by a consortium led by Simon McKeon, the 2011 Australian of the Year, Macquarie Group Melbourne office executive chairman and CSIRO chairman. Continued Page 8

NEWS DESK Colourful screening TRADITIONAL costumes and handicrafts brightened the foyer of the Mornington Cinema on Tuesday morning last week for a screening of Sing Your Song, a film about actor and human rights activist Harry Belafonte and the prejudices he faced as a black man in 1960s America. Many women at the screening are part of the “Handmade by Multicultural Women” group formed under the Stepping Stones program. The morning was arranged by Red Hill resident Dizzy Carlyon to raise awareness of refugee issues as well as money for Stepping Stones, which is run by the Brotherhood of St Laurence. At the screening are Yassah Zarwue, Petronia Nzirubusa, Lilliana Garcia, Alia Sultana, Luz Restrepo, Anna Penna (with one-year-old Joseph), Zakia Baigi Hazaya, Maria Barumbanze and Dana Bevilacqua.

New aged centre for Rosebud By Keith Platt A NEW residential aged care centre will be built in Cairns Ave, Rosebud, within three years. The site now occupied by Jean Turner and Fernbrook homes has been bought from Peninsula Health by Southern Cross Care. The sale price has not been disclosed. The new building will increase the number of aged care places at Cairns Ave from 50 to 120. Existing buildings will eventually be demolished. High-care and low-care residents in the two homes will remain on the 1.6-hectare site while the new building is constructed. Control of aged care in Cairns Ave will be transferred from Peninsula Health to Southern Cross on 2 April. Peninsula Health’s public relations director John Jukes said the Depart-

ment of Health and Ageing had been asked to approve the transfer of 98 aged care bed licences to Southern Cross. Although the 90 staff now working in Cairns Ave would be replaced by employees of Southern Cross, they would retain jobs within Peninsula Health. Staff employed by the two health care providers work under different awards, making it difficult to transfer their jobs. Southern Cross Care was chosen from five companies that responded to advertisements in August for buyers or potential partners for the centre. “This has been about finding a partner who will provide sustainable, quality aged care into the future,” Peninsula Health CEO Dr Sherene Devanesen said. In the short term, Peninsula Health will stay involved at Cairns Ave, in-
cluding providing food services. It will also continue providing specialist residential aged care at Carinya Nursing Home in Frankston and Michael Court Hostel at Seaford. Southern Cross CEO Jan Horsnell said the company was “committed to expanding and redeveloping the service to both increase the range of aged care services available to the peninsula community, and to provide increased local employment opportunities”. “The sale will not compromise the quality of care or the standard of service residents currently receive,” she said. “Our primary concern is for the wellbeing and peace of mind of residents and their families.” Ms Horsnell said the sale price was not finalised and would be determined by bond liabilities and demolition costs.

Myki spells trouble for travellers MYKI cards are not available for sale over the counter in Rye, Blairgowrie or Sorrento. The Rosebud West newsagency is the closest place for southern peninsula residents to buy Myki cards over the counter. They could travel there or to Rosebud or Dromana, but why on earth should they be put to such an inconvenience? Myki can be paid for on the phone or internet but this is absolutely unfair for the many low income people in this area. Many people cannot afford phone credit (mobiles still charge full rates to call 1800 numbers) or even have the internet at all. We all know how unreliable the internet is on the southern peninsula. I phoned Public Transport Victoria but was placed on indefinite hold trying to speak to a complaints resolution worker. Twenty minutes later I hung up. I phoned the office of Dromana MP Martin Dixon but the electorate officer had no real idea about Myki, just saying that it was “a work in progress”. I got the same response from the Portsea bus company. This “work in progress” is making life difficult for southern peninsula residents who cannot access Myki from over the counter outlets. It is leaving them vulnerable to being caught on the bus travelling without a valid ticket. Stuart Kingsford, Tootgarook
Tootgarook Swamp WITH a lot of attention on the Tootgarook Swamp at the moment, there is an issue that has arisen and is perhaps confusing the public, particularly people living in Melbourne, and it is the vegetation offsets at Boneo Park for Peninsula Link freeway. While conservationists are thrilled and excited that a large area of the wetlands is protected, there are at least five articles circulating that give the impression that the entire wetlands and threatened species in it are protected. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Another misconception about the offset is that it is a large, intact parcel of land. While this might be currently true, I believe there is a proposed freeway that runs through it.

This puts the whole offset concept into question. How can we reverse the decline of biodiversity in Victoria if offsets that are secured have future projects that will be built through them? Craig Thomson, Rosebud
Health cuts ENOUGH of the political misdirection. There is a $4.8 million cut to Peninsula Health. At Rosebud Hospital, the mother and baby unit is closing. At Frankston Hospital 10 beds are closed and day procedures stopped until after Easter. In late November, the state government cut funding to councils’ Home and Community Care retrospective for this financial year. The state government expects councils to make up the shortfall. My question to our local MP Martin Dixon is: “Why is the state government cutting back funding for the most vulnerable people in our community while doling out millions of dollars to the Victorian horse racing industry and the grand prix?” Mr Dixon, you were elected to work for this electorate but haven’t given us an explanation about the cutbacks. Doris Campbell, Rosebud
Jetty Rd development LEIGH Coleman claims he is a ratepayer and a Rosebud resident but not a developer (“Three-storey signs war”, The News, 7/2/13) but what he is proposing certainly looks like what a developer does. There are other developers in this area who also are residents and ratepayers. What does Mr Coleman mean with his statement that he will be “contributing to the upgrading to the foreshore”? Does he mean car parking and the like? It sounds as though he is singing from the same song book as Cr David Gibb. John Cain, McCrae

First chance to hear about quarry tip By Mike Hast THE public’s first chance to hear about the proposed Arthurs Seat tip in the old Pioneer quarry will be on Monday 25 March. The briefing has been organised by Mornington Peninsula Shire at the request of Seawinds Ward councillor Graham Pittock. The session at 5pm is at Dromana Bay Life Saving Club, on the foreshore opposite Dromana Hub shopping centre, prior to a community council meeting. The event comes as opposition to the proposal mounts with two protest meetings held last weekend – one by Friends of Arthurs Seat on Saturday and a private gathering on Sunday or-
ganised by Save Arthurs Seat, mostly near-neighbours of the old Pioneer quarry in Boundary Rd who elected a committee and three sub-committees. Cr Pittock said the community would get a better result if the planning application was approved by the council with stringent conditions rather than letting it go to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal where conditions set might be less rigorous. “The council can set conditions such as the quarry being turned into a park after it is filled,” he said. To compensate Dromana, there could be items such as a BMX track, shared paths and a football pavilion, he said. Just one person of about 100 at the
Friends of Arthurs Seat meeting agreed with the proposal, convenor Matt Bisogni said. “We will be taking a clear and forceful message to the council and the government that we do not want this quarry tip,” he said. Newly elected president of Save Arthurs Seat, Jacinta Banks, said members and supporters included winegrowers on Arthurs Seat Rd, a solicitor, a former chemist, and a former banker. Some supporters with personal links to the Ross Trust, which owns the quarry, had written to trustees criticising the proposal, which will see 3.7 million cubic metres of rubbish dumped in the pit over 20 years.
It has been revealed that before Pioneer sold the quarry to the Ross Trust’s Hillview Quarries in 1998, there was a plan for rehabilitation works that included allowing the quarry to partly fill with water. A report to the council stated: “The function of the lake, with an estimated depth of 42 metres, will be to supply water through an overflow channel to a series of rock cascades to the first of two lagoons. “The water will then proceed in a northerly direction into the second lagoon and then finally enter the undisturbed watercourse which flows northwards to Port Phillip Bay. “The end result will be a series of

Woman charged after fight Lock cars: police breaks up ‘social’ night By Jo Winterbottom A WOMAN with a punctured lung was airlifted to the Royal Melbourne Hospital after she was stabbed twice with a kitchen knife at a party in Rosebud West. A 43-year-old Rosebud West woman has been charged with the stabbing at a house in Grenville Grove on Sunday night.
Detective Senior Constable Peter Butland of Rosebud crime investigation unit said six people were drinking and socialising at the house around 9pm when the victim bit the 43-yearold woman on the arm. Police will allege the bitten woman retaliated, stabbing the victim twice in the chest with the kitchen knife. The stabbed woman, 38, then got into a scuffle with a man, also 38, and
the pair fell through a window, the man sustaining lacerations that required treatment at Frankston Hospital. The woman was flown by helicopter to Royal Melbourne Hospital, where she remains in a stable condition. The 43-year-old woman was charged with causing serious injury and was bailed to appear in Dromana Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 9 May.
LOCK up your cars and don’t leave valuables inside them. This is the warning from Rosebud police, who are battling a rise in thefts from vehicles in the wider Rosebud area. Detective Senior Constable Peter Butland said it was hard to believe the valuables left in unlocked cars. Among the easy pickings for thieves were mobile phones, wallets, laptop computers and cash. “Don’t leave cars unlocked, even in your driveway,” he warned. “And don’t leave valuables in there;
it just encourages offenders.” A cache of goods allegedly stolen from cars in the Rosebud South area was uncovered by police last Monday at an address in Rosebud South. A 29-year-old Rosebud South man was charged with about 20 counts of theft from cars during several night forays. He was remanded in custody to appear in Frankston Magistrates’ Court on Friday 25 March. Detective Butland said police had been able to return the allegedly stolen goods to their owners.

Simon says… CHAIRLIFT proponent Simon McKeon says the new chairlift will not be intrusive, will blend in and the towers will not be taller than the old ones. Mr McKeon was speaking on Mornings With Jon Faine on ABC radio last Thursday. The consortium chief said the chairlift would follow the same path, which would be “a little bit bigger”. The chairlift with its enclosed gondolas would appeal to a “larger, deeper market” including children, senior citizens and people with a disability. The News understands the consortium is seeking a slightly different alignment from the existing path up the mountain, which has a cleared path of about four metres. Larger chairs and the gondolas would require a cleared path of about seven metres. Mr McKeon will update the community on progress at a meeting organised by Association for Building Community in Dromana at 7pm on Wednesday 20 March at Dromana Bay Life Saving Club on the foreshore opposite Dromana Hub shopping centre. Details: johnparrent@spin.net.au
Old chairlift to Adelaide Hills
Mountain high: Artist’s impression of the viewing tower to be built in stage two. This and other images were released in May 2011 by chairlift consortium chief Simon McKeon assisted by state Environment Minister Ryan Smith.
THE old Arthurs Seat chairlift is being dismantled and taken to the Adelaide Hills, says Richard Hudson, managing director of Arthurs Seat Chairlift Pty Ltd. He hopes to have it up and running in about nine months. Mr Hudson bought the chairlift in 1979 from the family of Dr Vladimir Hayek, a Czech engineer who built it in 1960. It was closed by WorkSafe in 2006. Removal of equipment started late last month and Arthurs Seat Rd will be closed on 20 and 21 March between 9.30am and 3.30pm to enable removal of the cable and eight pylons, which were replaced after a pylon collapsed in 2003. The top station will be demolished in April but Parks Victoria wants to keep the larger, bottom station, Mr Hudson said.
Opposition mounts to chairlift Premier Ted Baillieu’s Environment Minister Ryan Smith introduced the amendment to Parliament on 27 October 2011. The bill gave the McKeon consortium “several areas of airspace where the proposed new chairlift passes over the Arthurs Seat Road, thereby enabling the one leasing provision to apply to the whole of the chairlift operation”, Mr Smith said. In May 2011, Mr McKeon unveiled concept drawings in Arthurs Hotel’s main dining room in front of Ryan Smith, Parks Victoria boss Dr Bill Jackson and journalists.

His consortium was selected by the Brumby Labor government in October 2010 and offered a 50-year lease, which required an amendment of the National Parks Act. Mr McKeon said at the time: “The consortium is prepared to invest $5 million to create a new, international best practice chairlift. It will feature open four-seater chairs and six-seater gondolas. The gondolas will be enclosed, creating an all-weather chairlift.” The Labor government lost the election the following month and Liberal
The project was costed at $5 million but $14 million is the latest estimate. In 2011 Mr McKeon said the top station would have large areas of glass to cut visible bulk. He said the consortium aspired to build a new viewing tower that would be accessible to more people, including senior citizens and people with disabilities. It would be above the treetops and allow 360-degree views, including of Bass Strait, Phillip Island, the Otways and Mt Macedon. The tower would be part of stage two.

Toot Swamp walker raises $7000 By Mike Hast JESSICA Durrant marched out of Tootgarook Swamp on Friday last week and was cheered by about 40 people as she finished her walk near Chinamans Creek. Ms Durrant had just completed 100 hours walking around the wetlands over 10 days, 21km a day from 8am to 6pm. In the reception party were shire councillors Tim Rodgers and Graham Pittock, former councillor Leigh Eustace, members of Southern Peninsula Flora and Fauna Association, members of Mornington Peninsula Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association and individual conservationists. Ms Durrant, 30, raised more than $7000 from hundreds of supporters donating small amounts, part of which will be used to start the process of having the swamp declared a Ramsar wetland of international significance. The intrepid swamp walker said she was not as tired as expected. “I run about 6km every day and this keeps me fit,” she said. Spending so much time in the

swamp had been a revelation, she said. “I was delighted to witness moments in the lives of the creatures that inhabit the area.” This included seeing dozens of rare swamp skinks, birds of prey and some of the other 130 bird species recorded in the wetlands as well as frogs breaking into voice after a downpour. She said the swamp also contained 13 reptilian species including nine amphibious frogs, 12 mammals including five kinds of bats, and at least nine endangered plant communities. Ms Durrant said there was never a dull moment and one highlight was meeting pupils from Boneo Primary School, which is near the wetlands. “Few people see the swamp and its creatures, and even fewer will see them if we allow development to eat into the 380-hectare wetlands that once occupied 800ha.” Several people made impromptu speeches. Gidja Walker of SPIFFA said change for the better was happening. “You can’t stop change and there have been great strides made in recent times to protect the area,” she said. Alan Nelsen of the ratepayers association said it was inspiring to see young people like Ms Durrant and her partner Cameron Brown working to improve the environment. He predicted Tootgarook would get a Ramsar listing. Donations can be mailed to Save Tootgarook Swamp Inc, 116 Elizabeth Ave, Rosebud West 3940. Ms Durrant’s daily blog is on the SPIFFA website (www.spiffa.org) and the Save Tootgarook Swamp Facebook page.
Supreme Court goes ahead THE Supreme Court appeal over a 41-house subdivision at 85 Elizabeth Ave, Rosebud West, starts on 20 March. Mornington Peninsula Shire and subdivision developer TJBP Pty Ltd are trying to overturn the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal decision that the permit issued by the shire was invalid. The case was taken to the VCAT by Save Tootgarook Swamp president Cameron Brown, partner of swamp walker Jessica Durrant. The shire and developer had original said they would seek costs from Mr Brown if the Supreme Court appeal was successful, but he will not be liable after a directions hearing late last month allowed the substitution of his name for Save Tootgarook Swamp, an incorporated body. The shire’s attempt to get costs from Mr Brown had attracted widespread criticism not only from the region’s conservationists but also from other shire residents and ratepayers. The case will attract wide attention from councils, developers and legal experts over the interpretation of the state’s Planning and Environment Act 1987.

Shire seeks ‘insight’ ABOUT 400 residents and ratepayers of Mornington Peninsula Shire will decide the council’s rating at the annual community satisfaction survey. People will be selected randomly for the telephone survey, which will yield results at the end of the year. Last year’s results have just been made public with the shire scoring an approval rating of 60, the state average. Frankston Council scored 62 and top of the table was 71 for Monash Council in the southeastern suburbs around Glen Waverley area. One of the peninsula’s three state MPs, David Morris, a councillor and shire president of the former Shire of Mornington, said the Local Government Services Report “provides valuable insight as to how well residents believe the shire is performing”.
“This is a good opportunity for people to make their views known on four main areas: council’s overall performance, community consultation, advocacy, and customer service,” he said. “It’s important that councils have this data to make any necessary improvements.” Local Government Minister Jeanette Powell said last year’s survey showed nine per cent of respondents rated their councils as very good, 40 per cent as good and 36 per cent as average. Nine per cent rated their councils as poor, four per cent as very poor and one per cent had no opinion. Ms Powell said rate increases remained a community concern.

By David Harrison JUST a few kilometres east of the rising rumble of protest over the Arthurs Seat gondola chairlift lies a gem, hidden deep in the hillside. It is the old Pioneer quarry, destined to become a tip. This massive, human-made amphitheatre, with its large deep lake, could become a tourist pearl of the peninsula if visionary leaders rather than dull, money-obsessed functionaries were at the controls, It could become a cultural and recreational hub, an aquatic centre for enclosed and open-water swimming, a venue for canoes, paddle boards and pedal boats. Maybe even a gondola ride from bottom to top. It could host pop and classical concerts – almost certainly the acoustics would be superb – and other events where crowds relax with picnics on tree-shaded lawns on warm afternoons. But the paramount need is for a place to get rid of our rubbish, argue the functionaries. Instead of echoing to the shouts of children having a great time, the splash of swimmers, the songs and picnics, it will resound (the acoustics are sure to be superb) to the rumble of rubbish trucks, bulldozers and screaming seagulls. Surrounding houses could get a regular whiff of its stink to remind them it is there, for a quarter of a century or more, until it is full and falls silent. The philanthropic Ross Trust, one of whose aims is environmental, appears ready to hand over the quarry rather than make it an environmental masterpiece – as occurred in Berwick, where a disused quarry has been transformed into Wilson Botanic Park. Check it out on the web. Our quarry is infinitely more spectacular, with infinitely more potential to become a public park, as was mooted at council in 1998. We will eventually run out of holes in the ground in which to dump waste. Then what will the visionless functionaries do? We should take the leap to new technology now. We should move to incineration of our waste, accompanied by a strong campaign to persuade householders to recycle, compost and reuse more. Incinerators would have to be a state government initiative. They are expensive, beyond the
means of a single local council, no matter how free-spending. But one plant would handle waste from many council areas: possibly a third or more of Melbourne’s waste could be processed in a single location. Such incinerators are widely used overseas. Britain ran out of handy holes years ago and is moving to incinerators on a large scale. Portsmouth has one, concluding that “there is no realistic way of achieving the diversion of large quantities of waste from landfill� without incinerators – and, as byproducts, the plant provides heating and enough electricity to power 25,000 homes. The UK government concluded that the need for the incinerator “outweighed the harmful effects. In addition, there were no realistic alternative process options or alternative sites that would be preferable�. The entire County of Hampshire is served by just three incinerators. Disadvantages are few. They produce smoke – as do crematoriums, your cosy slow combustion fires, CFA and DSE burnoffs, bonfires, fireworks displays and bushfires. Modern plants are heavily filtered to minimise smoke dangers. Would the dying Hastings industrial area be a feasible site? It would provide jobs, it has highway and rail access, and it would be less polluting than some existing – or recently closed – industries. This article is intended to start the debate. It is neither comprehensive – the subject is huge – nor authoritative. It is not just about saving a beautiful old quarry, but because, in a quarter of a century or less, we will be looking for another hole in the ground.
Village Glen lights TRAFFIC lights outside the entrance of The Village Glen retirement complex in Eastbourne Rd, Rosebud West, will be installed by July. The existing pedestrian-operated signals will be removed and replaced with a full signalised intersection including pedestrian crossings. The $599,000 cost is funded by Community Villages Australia and Transport Accident Commission. Nepean MP Martin Dixon said the intersection had a “history of motorists failing to select safe gaps in traffic when attempting to turn right out of the retirement village�.
Day of surf, sun, sand and smiles A BRIGHT clear day, southeasterly wind and small swell. Normally a day for golf or tennis – anything but surfing. But not on Saturday when 174 volunteers went to Point Leo for the season’s second event organised by the Disabled Surfers Association’s Mornington Peninsula branch. The conditions for the day were just right: warm weather and small, fun waves. The events being organised by the DSA branch are popular, with 74 people with varying disabilities coming to have a go at surfing. Many were coming back, with their carers, for the second or third time. Since its formation just over a year
ago, the branch has raised $42,000, buying five wide-tyred, beach-friendly wheelchairs to ferry participants to and from the water. It has a trailer and “soft� surfboards. The first event last November involved 20 participants and 226 volunteers, making it the biggest debut event held by any of the DSA’s 15 branches. At the February event there were 52 participants. “Our function is to provide a safe surfing experience for people with disabilities, giving them access to something that we take for granted,� peninsula branch treasurer John Bowers said. As with the other two events, Point Leo Life Saving Club opened its
doors to the DSA branch and the Point Leo foreshore committee donated the day’s gate receipts. Branch president Stewart Lockie said Saturday’s event was “the most successful day so far�. While it was the final event scheduled for the season, the committee will meet to discuss offseason projects. Two events have already been slotted in for 2014 with the possibility of another one later this year at Phillip Island. The beach wheelchairs are available for use by the public at Dromana Bay Life Saving Club and from the Point Leo foreshore committee. Call ranger Ray Gould on 0408 536 143. Keith Platt

Litter traps would cut bay’s rubbish OPINION By Jim Kerin A MELBOURNE City Council report states that each year up to three billion pieces of litter (about 2000 to 3000 tonnes) are washed into Melbourne’s waterways through stormwater drains. The research shows the source of most litter in stormwater comes from shopping centres and strips, markets, on-street collections, tips and recycling depots. A number of major streams feed the lower Yarra River. Inclusive of the Yarra, they drain Melbourne’s suburban north, northwest and east, and include Maribyrnong and Plenty rivers and Merri, Darebin and Gardiners creeks. The streams directly connect to the major underground drains beneath streets and commercial precincts of the north and east to Port Phillip’s central and southern beaches. The main drains and beds and banks of creeks and rivers are managed by Melbourne Water. Once this litter leaves the Yarra, it’s carried by Port Phillip’s predominant clockwise currents south to beaches in the municipalities of Bayside, Kingston, Frankston and the Mornington Peninsula. How far it carries is determined by the amount of rain in the Yarra catchment, tidal heights in the Yarra and the strength and duration of northerly winds. Rivers of garbage can be seen in Port Phillip after significant rain events. Each year the four councils spend hundreds of thousands of dollars col-

lecting drift litter from their beaches. The mechanical clean-up removes all material from beaches including naturally deposited vegetable material. This impairs a beach’s natural ability to protect itself from erosion. Additionally, it doesn’t collect the trash that is blown into areas inaccessible to beach cleaning machines. Trash identifiable as originating from the lower Yarra catchment has been found at Brighton and as far south as Blairgowrie. On Sunday, Clean Up Australia Day, hundreds of residents will again turn out to pick up trash that should have been stopped by municipalities to their north and Melbourne Water.
The cost of retrieving this rubbish has been shifted to the municipalities in the south as well as volunteers who walk the beach frequently or who take part in Clean Up Australia Day. Much of this litter can be identified as originating in the cities of Melbourne, Yarra, Hobsons Bay, Maribyrnong, Boroondara and Port Phillip. The impact of litter on Port Philip’s wildlife is not well known, but it is known that seabirds and fish eat plastic rubbish that mimics their food. Large amounts of plastic detritus can be seen at Seaford Beach and other dune systems. Cyclical erosion releases this trapped material, much of which is resistant to ultraviolet degra-
dation. It breaks into smaller pieces as it is “milledâ€? on the sand by breaking waves. Bayside, Kingston, Frankston, Mornington Peninsula and Dandenong councils have all fitted high-performance centrifugal litter traps to problem drains. The traps remove cigarette butts, syringes and particulates smaller than a match head. But the crucial question is: why don’t the northern Port Phillip and Yarra River municipalities, including the City of Melbourne as well as Melbourne Water, use litter traps to keep their rubbish off our beaches? The answer is the cost of servicing the traps. It’s cheaper to “educateâ€? than provide expensive “end-of-pipeâ€? solutions, meaning it’s cheaper for central and southern Port Phillip councils and their ratepayers to collect litter than stop it at its source. After people have done their bit on Clean Up Australia Day, they might spend a moment venting their displeasure at Environment Minister Ryan Smith, Melbourne’s Lord Mayor Robert Doyle, Melbourne Water chairman Paul Clark and the Victorian Litter Action Alliance whose deliberations are overseen by Sustainability Victoria and whose membership includes the Packaging Stewardship Forum that is against container deposit regulation. ď Ž Jim Kerin is a broadcaster and writer on environment topics, and a former director of the Western Port Biosphere Reserve Foundation.
Hospital ward stays closed FRANKSTON Hospital will not reopen its short-stay ward of 10 beds before Easter despite the federal government promising extra money. The hospital closed the ward after the federal government late last year cut $107 million from Victoria’s health budget, including almost $5 million from Peninsula Health’s budget. The cuts came after the Australian Bureau of Statistics reduced Victoria’s population estimates for the current financial year, triggering the federal cuts. The action sparked a long-running dispute between Canberra and the Baillieu government that continues. Last week the federal government said it would restore the $107 million but send it direct to health networks rather than the state government. Hospital spokesman John Jukes said the ward was meant to open after the summer break but would stay closed until Easter as “we have received no formal notification� of the federal money. Patients use the ward if their stay is less than 48 hours. Labor’s candidate for Dunkley, Sonya Kilkenny, said “Ted Baillieu has proved he’s completely incapable of running Victoria’s health system�. “More than 46,000 Victorians are languishing on elective surgery waiting lists, ambulance response times have blown out and Mr Baillieu’s response has been to slash $616 million from the state’s health system and point the finger at the federal government,� she said.

Southern Peninsula News 7 March 2013
Steamed up over rail museum By Mike Hast THE Australian Railway Historical Society is building a head of steam in the campaign to move its Williamstown North railway museum to Moorooduc. Society consultant John Hearsch recently briefed Mornington Peninsula Shire councillors and the society is about to sign an agreement with Mornington Railway Preservation Society. Mornington Railway leases 11 hectares (27 acres) opposite the intersection of Moorooduc Highway and Eramosa Rd West from state government agency VicTrack. Volunteers have been running tourist trains between Moorooduc and Mornington since 1999 on part of the line that was closed by the Liberal state government in 1981 after 92 years of operation. Mornington Railway has agreed in principle to ARHS using about three hectares (7.5 acres) of its leased land for a state railway museum. Mr Hearsch told councillors the museum would include a display hall for large exhibits and a mezzanine floor for smaller items, a library, theatre and offices. Nearby would be “roundhouse” to display steam locomotives. ARHS has 15 Victorian Railways steam locomotives, ranging from the diminutive F class to “Heavy Harry”, the largest locomotive to operate in Victoria. It also has VR steam cranes, diesel and electric locomotives, suburban and country passenger carriages, guards’ vans and freight wagons.
Heavy worker: Mornington Railway engineer Gerald Spoor with the K163 steam loco.
The Victorian branch of ARHS was founded in 1945 and has 750 members. Its museum opened in 1962 but cannot expand as it is next to rail workshop operations and had a low public profile. Mr Hearsch told shire councillors the site was open to the elements, being only 1200 metres from Port Phillip. “The corrosion of all metallic objects
is an ongoing challenge. The condition of almost all exhibits is one of slow, steady deterioration,” he said. Income was limited to gate takings and publication sales, and there had been no state funding for running the museum or conservation of exhibits. “The museum has a comprehensive and irreplaceable static collection of large and small items, mostly owned by the state, which are representative
of more than 100 years of Victoria’s rail heritage and history.” Mr Hearsch said the museum needed to be “re-established in a way that is seen to be of value to and appreciated by its local community as well as the wider population of Melbourne and regional Victoria”. “A professionally presented railway museum, suitably promoted, can become a significant tourist attraction, particularly if provided with suitable facilities for families and other visitors, for example, a picnic area, barbecues, food and sales outlet. “A successful railway museum needs to have multiple functions to educate, entertain and promote both curiosity and interest in the science, engineering and operation of a railway.” He said the Moorooduc site could be developed to match rail museums at Ipswich in Queensland, Thirlmere south of Sydney and at Adelaide. It could one day rival famous museums in Britain, France, Sweden, United States, India and Japan. ARHS had investigated sites in outer suburbs and country Victoria and the only places that met site criteria were in Seymour and Ballarat. “Moorooduc was a late consideration following an invitation from MRPS. Its only disadvantages were no public transport, no presently useable connectivity to the wider rail network, no infrastructure that could become part of the museum, and ineligibility of funding support from the state’s Regional Infrastructure Development Fund,” Mr Hearsch said.
“There is little doubt that a suitably promoted and visible railway museum would attract considerable passing traffic, enabling people to visit as part of a wider day trip or holiday outing, as distinct from the museum being a single destination.” Mr Hearsch said the Ipswich museum drew 100,000 visitors annually and Moorooduc could have a similar number within 10 years. The project could employ 15 people as well as workers for restoration, conservation and maintenance of museum exhibits. There was potential for government funding for additional staff undergoing training and skills development. “These factors produce immediate and substantial multiplier that would benefit almost all sectors of the peninsula’s economy.” The next steps included gaining state government support for moving the museum to Moorooduc, seeking funding for a concept plan and business case, and seeking the support of Heritage Victoria and Museum Victoria. Mr Hearsch has asked the shire for “ongoing advocacy and advice” and help with “heritage, environmental and other issues that might influence planning outcomes for the proposed museum development”. ■ Mornington Railway Preservation Society runs trains on the first three Sundays each month, with the first train leaving Moorooduc at 11am and Mornington at 11.30am. Details and bookings: 1300 767 274. More Information is at: www.morningtonrailway.org.au
Baxter line closer to reality THE building of Peninsula Link was a boon for Mornington Railway Preservation Society. Department of Transport officials requested the freeway builder construct a bridge to carry the freeway over the disused section of line between Moorooduc and Baxter. About 250 metres of track was repaired by Abigroup after the bridge had been completed. Concrete sleeper were used. The society’s long-term aim is to use the 5.2-kilometre Baxter section to run trollies for tourist. Members have been clearing vegetation on and beside the track, and the society has bought timber sleepers from Western Australia. Ultimately it would like to have a second line behind Baxter station so its trollies could run when Frankston to Stony Point line passenger trains were operating. It also would like to access the main line at Baxter, enabling heritage trains to run to Frankston and beyond. VicRoads is currently installing traffic lights at the intersection of Moorooduc Highway and Eramosa Rd West for the shared walking and cycling trail. Malcolm Swaine of the society said it was not impossible to imagine steam trains running from Baxter station to Yuilles Rd, Mornington, crossing Moorooduc Highway where the lights are being installed.

Fireys’ capability on show THE firefighting equipment of Rosebud CFA was put to good use on Sunday to demonstrate how easily accidents can occur at home. A small amount of water added to a saucepan of burning oil turned a stove-top blaze into an inferno. The demonstration was all part of the brigade’s open day, to say thanks to the public for donations that have allowed it to buy a new fire truck. Firefighters at the Boneo Rd fire station also
showed off their thermal imaging viewer, which allows them to “see” through thick smoke to check if anyone is trapped inside a burning building as well as checking for fire hot spots. Children were able tro clamber aboard fire trucks, see what it’s like inside a smoke-filled room and then enjoy a sausage sizzle courtesy of the volunteer fireys. Pictures: Yanni

Hospital ward stays closed despite cash injection FRANKSTON Hospital will not reopen its short-stay ward of 10 beds before Easter despite the federal government promising extra money. The hospital closed the ward after the federal government late last year cut $107 million from Victoria’s health budget, including almost $5 million from Peninsula Health’s budget. The cuts came after the Australian Bureau of Statistics reduced Victoria’s population estimates for the current financial year, triggering the federal cuts.
The action sparked a long-running dispute between Canberra and the Baillieu government that continues. Late last month the federal government said it would restore the $107 million but send it direct to health networks rather than the state government. Hospital spokesman John Jukes said the ward was meant to open after the summer break but would stay closed until Easter as “we have received no formal notification” of the federal money.
Church set for Easter feed NEW Peninsula Baptist Church’s 16th annual Free Family Fun Day on Easter Saturday will attract thousands of people to the church in Craigie Rd, Mt Martha. Fun day spokesman Merv Williams said the event was “the region’s largest free community festival”. “Patrons will get a sneak peak of our new 1500-seat auditorium and foyer, built by a team of 40 volunteers and dubbed the nation’s largest seniors’ volunteer project,” Mr Williams said. “Our team will be kept busy serving more than 2000 cups of tea and coffee, 2000 biscuits, 200kg of baked potatoes and 1500 portions of sweet corn as well as bags of popcorn and sausage sandwiches. “Other volunteers will be engaged in the sticky assignment of serving
fairy floss, supervising laser tag, and painting hundreds of children’s faces. “Even the rides are free as part of the church’s Easter gift to the community. “Last year a record 7000 people turned up and we loved hosting them. “The looks of joy on the kids’ faces and the chance for our church to rally together to host something of this magnitude were a real privilege. “Each year people are amazed that they walk away after a full day of entertainment without having to pay for a thing.” New Peninsula Church Free Family Fun Day, 10am-3pm on Saturday 16 March, 370 Craigie Rd, Mt Martha. Free parking. Details: 5973 8888, email office@newpeninsula.com.au or visit www.newpeninsula.com.au
Patients use the ward if their stay is less than 48 hours. Labor’s candidate for Dunkley, Sonya Kilkenny, said “Ted Baillieu has proved he’s completely incapable of running Victoria’s health system”. “More than 46,000 Victorians are languishing on elective surgery waiting lists, ambulance response times have blown out and Mr Baillieu’s response has been to slash $616 million from the state’s health system and point the finger at the federal government,” she said. She said the federal government would provide $4.9 million to Peninsula Health “to ensure services are restored”. “I call on Mr Baillieu to immediately restore the cuts he has inflicted on Victorians, which means providing $26.7 million to Peninsula Health.” Mr Baillieu reportedly said the federal backflip would not solve all the problems. “The damage has already been done. It is going to take some time for the hospitals that receive this money to reverse the changes they have put in place,’’ he said. State Health Minister David Davis said he would push for ongoing cuts to be returned over the next three years. He said the cuts had crippled Victoria’s health system and it would take a long time for the impact to be reversed, even with the return of this year’s funding. Mike Hast

A midwife at Frankston Hospital, she is also one of three Australian Nursing Federation’s Undergraduate Midwives of the Year. Ms Hosking, of Tyabb, is pictured with Sandra Sawdy and her baby, Sebastian. “I was so surprised to receive the award. I didn’t know I had even been nominated,” Ms Hosking said. “When I received my letter, at first I thought it was a parking fine so you could imagine my shock when I opened it and it said I had won an award.” The annual awards are made to one outstanding nursing and midwifery student from each Victorian University, TAFE and registered training organisation.

NEWS DESK Wildlife experts, professional and amateur, toured French Island on Valentine’s Day to find out about the island’s natural attractions and efforts being made to reach a state of balance between introduced and native species. Keith Platt joined the journey arranged by the Western Port Catchment Committee.
Visit to an island of natural attractions
Wild catch: French Island National Park ranger Dave Stevenson shows a photograph of a 5.5-kilogram cat, one of 700 ferals caught over the past three years.
NATIONAL parks rangers usually have similar problems, ranging from fighting fires to controlling visitors, vermin and weeds. Few rangers in Australia are faced with a problem bird as colourful or recognisable as those managing French Island. Peacocks are on the unwanted resident list in the national park, which takes up nearly three-quarters of Victoria’s largest island and is the centrepiece of Western Port. There are no foxes, but the island’s rangers are kept busy trying to rid the park of rabbits, feral cats, feral goats, feral pigs, Indian mynahs and starlings.
On the bus: Tour operator Lois Airs, right, drove the wildlife experts around French Island, to bird habitats, beaches and checking roadside water bores. The midday stop was lunch at the Eco-Inn, opposite page, to hear about the island’s natural and cultural attractions.
In the past three years they have trapped 700 cats, some weighing up to seven kilograms. Koalas, a threatened species elsewhere in Australia, are thriving and are a disease-free population that is being exported. They were introduced in the 1880s and have been so successful in colonising their new island home that fertility-controlling implants are being used to curtail their numbers. French Island’s koalas are free of the natural control chlamydia, a disease that affects koalas throughout Australia. With a permanent population of about 90 people, plus 45 “part-
timers�, the island remains a distant destination to most Melbourne residents. The Perseverance Primary School has 10 pupils; older children attend secondary schools on the Mornington Peninsula. Once earmarked as the site for a nuclear power station and shipbuilding works, the island is now mostly national park, a designation that can at times sit uncomfortably alongside privately owned properties. But it is this isolation that makes it such an attraction for anyone interested in where the island’s wild things are. Parks ranger Dave Stevenson said cat traps were baited with chicken

Understanding the island
bought from KFC because of its long shelf life. He said the cats were “nearly impossible to eradicate”, with the wild population sometimes being added to by cats kept as pets by residents. The peacocks were another matter, breeding in swamp paperbarks and spreading blackberries that are a threat to the habitat of native potoroos. He said sambar deer were the island’s largest wild animal “but we don’t target them as a pest species because the damage has been done”. The deer are protected under the Wildlife Act and are seen as a resource, with shooters being required to buy licences. French Island Community
Association president Michelle Neesham said the islanders were “very independent, self-sufficient”. While they paid no rates or car registrations, the islanders were hit by travel expenses, such as “$380 return for a cattle truck – it’s cheaper to go to Queensland”. Residents on the low-lying island (the grandiosely named high point of Mt Wellington is 96 metres) can lead an isolated life or catch ferries to Stony Point or Phillip Island. Tourists are welcome, although most attractions are all natural with isolation being a big drawcard. Roads are rough and getting cars across can be problematic. Mountain bikes and walking are good options.
But an island without foxes so close to Melbourne has also attracted scientists who last year chose the island for an open test laboratory to breed the threatened eastern barred bandicoot. If successful, the plan would mirror that of the koala, except it would be bandicoots being exported to areas on the mainland where they are either threatened of have been wiped out. No fertile male bandicoots have been put on the island, although University of Melbourne researcher Rebecca Groenewagener says the environment appears suited to their survival. Cats have caught and attacked some of the 18 bandicoots released in July
last year “but others are doing quite well”. “They are living in slightly different areas for a grassland animal, but we are checking if their diet has changed,” Ms Groenewagener said. The checks included gauging the effects on insects, which formed part of a bandicoot diet. Orchid expert and island resident Clive Gordes criticised the bandicoot program being run without a prior “comprehensive survey of insects on the island”. “Bandicoots are insect-eating and there‘s no database. We need something to measure their effects, but bandicoots will be introduced here, I’ve no doubt.”
THE Valentine’s Day visit to French Island arranged last month by Western Port Catchment Committee saw 40 representatives of a variety of organisations, including local government, Western Port Biosphere Reserve, Port Phillip and Western Port Catchment Management Authority, Parks Victoria, French Island Landcare and Community Association, Melbourne Water, Southern Rural Water, Western Port Seagrass Partnership, Dolphin Research Institute, Victoria Farmers’ Federation, Friends of Warneet, Phillip Island Nature Park, Bass Valley Landcare, Koo Wee Rup Swamp Landcare, Western Port Protection Council, Business Times magazine, Port of Hastings, Patricks, Victorian National Parks Association and the Department of Sustainability and Environment. Catchment committee secretary Ian Stevenson listed topics of the day as: Status of the pilot introduction of the eastern barred bandicoot. Koala sterilisation program. Cat control. Landcare coastal revegetation sites and community nursery. Roosting sites for migratory waderbirds at Chilcot Rocks, Tortoise Head. Nesting site for fairy terns on Rams Island. Short-tail shearwater (muttonbird) ecology. Underground aquifer (bore) examination on Coast Rd. Mangrove restoration. The WPCC meets bimonthly in Cranbourne to discuss various aspects of the Western Port natural environment.

This recently formed society has been highly successful and is much appreciated by large audiences on the occasion of each Frankston concert. *** FAVORED with beautiful weather, the annual picnic of the match workers, held at Frankston on Saturday last, was a great success. Between 2 and 3 hundred people journeyed down by train, arriving at Frankston at about eleven o’clock. The picnic was held in the park, where a programme of sports was carried through in the afternoon. *** WE note that last week Sir John Madden secured top price at the Melbourne market for his culled sheep, which were sent from his Frankston property by his manager Mr G. Bloxain. In past years Sir John considered himself for-
tunate if he was able to rear his sheep to escape the depredations of wandering dogs, but we are pleased this annoyance now seems a thing of the past. *** THE memorial stone of the new chancel of the Mt Eliza Church of England will be laid by Mrs Sumner on Saturday next March 15th at 3pm. An open air fete will afterwards be held on the grounds. The fete will be opened by Lady Madden, and speeches will be given by Sir John Madden, Hon. A. Downward, and Mr James Grice. Refreshment, jumble, sweet, produce and other stalls will be presided over by the ladies and a pleasant day is anticipated. *** WE have been asked to state that the result of the American tea lately organised by Mrs C Maxwell, in aid of the Vicarage fund of St. Paul’s, Frankston, is as follows: The total receipts were £30 5s, total expenses £3 10s 6d, and the profit £26 14s 6d has been handed to Mr T Robinson, hon. treasurer of St. Paul’s Church. *** THE Eight Hour Committee announces its 57th Annual Art Union, in which 100 prizes of the total value of £1000 will be distributed. The first prize is valued at £500, the second £100, and the third £50. The support accorded the undertaking last year was so generous that the Committee was enabled to donate a very substantial sum to the Hospitals and Public Charities, to which the proceeds are devoted. It will be the 57th celebration of the establishment of the system which enjoins ‘Eight hours’ labor, eight hours’ recreation, and eight hours’ rest.’ The committee has already made complete arrangements in con-
nection with the Fete, which will be held at the Exhibition Buildings, Monday 21st April. A splendid programme of sports and amusements has been arranged for Eight Hours Day, which has been declared a Public and Bank Holiday throughout the State. Numerous special attractions will be provided for adults and children, the latter being particularly well catered for in the shape of races for boys and girls of all ages, skipping contests and other suitable events, and, in addition, thousands of toys, skipping ropes, and bags of lollies will be giren away free. The tickets are only one shilling each, and may be purchased in almost every town in the State, or direct from the Secretary, Mr John Hyman, at the Trades Hall, Carlton. It should be mentioned that every ticket purchased will have an equal chance in the Art Union, whether used for admission to the Fete on not. *** AN amatuer sports meeting will be held at the Naval Base on April 12th when a good programme of events will by gone through. *** MESSRS Brody and Mason will hold their monthly sale at Somerville on Wednesday, March 19th. *** A MEETING of those interested in the formation of a Racing Club in Frankston will be held in the Mechanics Hall on Tuesday, at 8pm sharp. *** WE are very pleased to hear that the catering for the Somerville show will be in the capable hands of Mr Bieri, of the Mornington cafe and patrons may rely upon getting a good luncheon. ***
AT the Frankston Court of Petty Sessions, held before Messrs Crawford, Clements, Bates, and Baxter, Js P. Viney Wells proceeded against G. W. Wells for using abusive language. After hearing lengthy evidence, the Bench dismissed the case, each party to pay their own costs. *** THE well-known Ayrshire breeders, Messrs Jones Bros, ‘Spring Farm’ Moorooduc, topped the market at the Tanti sale on Monday, realising £10 5s for a milker and £5 5s for a heifer. *** A CARD party and dance in aid of St McCartans church, Mornington, will be held in the Mechanics Hall, on Easter Monday night, for the purpose of reducing the debt on the church. *** THE principal business places in Mornington will be closed all day on Wednesday – Somerville Show Day. *** MR James Sheridan, who took a fit on Saturday, did not regain consciousness, but succumbed at his residence, Mornington, on Monday. The remains were interred in the local cemetery. *** THE Emu Plains entries close on Monday next, March 10th. The racing track at Emu Plaint has been shortened from 9 furlongs to 7 furlongs. THE Frankston owned horse and pony, Milloo and Almond Bush, were successful in winning a race each at the Woolamai races last Wednesday, Mr Wilcox winning the Trial Stakes with Milloo and Mr C McKenzie the 13.2 Novelty Pony Race. Both started at a nice price in the betting.
*** A FRIENDLY game of tennis took place between teams representing Flinders and Red Hill on the Red Hill Court on Saturday, lst inst. The teams consisted of two ladies and four gentlemen and after an exciting match of fourteen sets, Flinders won by three games. Afternoon tea was provided by the ladies of the home team, and a very enjoyable afternoon was spent, the weather being favorable and the court in very good playing condition, considering the dry weather we have had lately. *** MESSRS Daw and McCallum, of Mornington, have sold their 600 acre farm at Moorooduc to Messrs Saunders and Martin, of Mornington, and the price was £4 10s per acre. *** THE Railway Standing Committee visited the Mornington Peninsula last week in connection with the proposed railway line through the Peninsula to Red Hill and Flinders. They were conveyed in one of Mr F. Doherty’s drags to Boneo where they toured the country, and then they toured the country through the centre of the Peninsula, from Red Hill to Bittern, and finally inspected the country around Stony Point. *** BUSH fires were very destructive in the Bittern district on Tuesday of last week. The properties of Messers Myers, White, Buckley, Oswin and Hitchen were swept by a fire, fanned by a strong north wind. Mr Myers suffered the most loss, losing a couple of miles of fencing.

Eclectic
IF there’s one common aesthetic attraction for those living on the peninsula, it has to be evening light on sea. It’s with this rich colour palette that Rye artist Miodrag Jankovic has painted his new Manyung at Sorrento exhibition pieces. Expressive, passionate large skyscapes are ignited with Miodrag’s love for looking west from a Mornington Peninsula beach: just don’t set that idea in stone. The new works are a move to the more interpretive for Miodrag, with “awakening of the spirit” they “represent a shift away from more tonal representational work where images are recognisable and narrative”. Miodrag works with “simply painterly elements, not reference” in the March exhibition. The works also tend to be brighter and bolder than more tonal previous works. There is a central image to each of the exhibition pieces - a brilliant splash - and the horizon line is bent “with a desire to create a third dimension”, the effect being that instead of just sunset, you could as easily be pondering the world from a plane window or seeing streetlights from up high, or that central splash might be a landscape on fire. Plane window, fire or street lights: there is no mistaking where the originally Serbian born painter feels his inspiration and from where these particular paintings evolve. Southern Peninsula folk may even have their own idea of which particular Port Phillip beach he’s referring to when Miodrag says: “it’s the scene of calm experienced at the end of another day, the sun beyond the horizon and the gentle breaking of waves on the shore. The whisper of wind making its way through the tree tops and the smell of sea air blended with the aroma of salt and seagrass. It’s the noise of the sea tankers making their way through the channel, reverberating across the water is the dull sound of the pistons going up and down, turning the giant propellers, creating a heavy industrial sound against the backdrop of a beautiful sunset.” Miodrag Jankovic’s Manyung at Sorrento ‘Dreamcatcher’ exhibition runs March 9-24. Meet the artist at 11am, Saturday March 9. 113A Ocean Beach Road, Sorrento. www.manyunggallery.com.au

THE Mornington Peninsula is an exciting place in summer and early autumn with many festivals and concerts including Peninsula Summer Music Festival, Red Hill Country Music Festival, RAW Family Music Festival, Rosebud Kite Festival, Ventana Fiesta and more. It was disappointing for me as a local radio journalist and music writer to not be given access to the Between the Bays Festival to review and catch up with friend Troy CassarDaley. There are moves on for a new music festival on the peninsula in 2014 with a focus on local talent. More news on this in the coming weeks. Now in its seventh year, the Ventana Fiesta promises another colourful burst of Latin American, Portuguese and Spanish cultures during March. Music, food, art, craft and more as you enjoy the Latino culture and experience that is Ventana. More info www.thefac.com.au *** MORNING Star Estate is going through some major changes in 2013. The estate where Judy Barrett planted more than 75,000 roses of more than 600 varieties in what were once paddocks overlooking Port Phillip has become the peninsula’s premier restaurant and function venues. Set amid 22 acres of exquisite gardens and 30 acres of vines, the 19th century mansion Morning Star has panoramic views of Port Philip stretching from the Bellarine Peninsula to Melbourne. More news to come on music concerts, new dining packages and a website. www.visitmorningtonpeninsula.org *** ERIC Clapton gave up his career as a designer of stained glass windows to concentrate on blues guitar. His first breakthrough came in 1963 when he joined the Yardbirds. It was short-lived and he left the band the following year to be replaced by Jeff Beck. He went on to play with John Mayall and before long Eric’s flashy guitar playing gained him cult status in the UK. Eric then teamed up with Peter (Ginger) Baker and his best friend Scotsman Jack Bruce to form Cream with the help of Robert Stigwood and released the hits White Room, Badge, Layla, Sunshine of Your Love, Strange Brew, Crossroads and I Feel Free.
On the heels of a sold-out Crossroads Guitar Festival and the announcement of a major world tour, Eric Clapton releases his 21st studio album Old Sock (Universal) his first album since 2010. The album, produced by Clapton and friends features two new original songs, Every Little Thing and Gotta Get Over. The album is a collection of some of Clapton’s favourite songs spanning from his childhood to the present day that highlights his vast appreciation and knowledge of music. Clapton has always had a remarkable ability to recognise great songs and a gift for knowing how to uniquely interpret them, as he does on Old Sock. The album explores romantic standards of the 30s, reggae, soul, rock, and includes a stand-out playful collaboration with Paul McCartney, to create an experience that is quintessential Clapton. Clapton assembled a band for the recordings consisting of long-time collaborators Steve Gadd (drums), Willie Weeks (bass) and Chris Stainton (keyboards) along with some surprise guest additions. JJ Cale joins the song Angel for backing vocals and guitar, Chaka Khan joins as backing vocalist for Get on Over, Steve Winwood on the Hammond B3 Organ on Still Got the Blues, Paul McCartney on bass/vocals on All of M, Jim Keltner on drums for Our Love is here to Stay. Old Sock is out 15 March. *** SHOCK has released the ground-breaking documentary series AFP: Australian Federal Police on a two-DVD set taking you behind the scenes with the men and women of Australia’s AFP. The documentary was produced over more than two years and filmed in more than eight countries including Colombia, Russia and the Philippines. Running time is 227 minutes and in widescreen. www.shockdvd.com.au *** SOME great new CDs released this month include a special three-CD set Songman (Festival) from the late Jimmy Little featuring remastered and previously unreleased tracks and a bonus never-before-heard concert recording at the Sydney Opera House in 2001. It features Royal Telephone, Stand by Me, Cattle and Cane, Under the Milky Way and Black Fella/White Fella. Tim McGraw releases Two Lanes of
By Gary Turner Freedom (Universal) featuring Taylor Swift and Keith Urban. Les Miserables, the motion picture soundtrack (Universal) features highlights from the film which stars Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway. Warner/Festival Records releases Bee Gees – the Festival Albums Collection 196567 featuring original track listings digitally remastered from original analogue master tapes and includes an eight- page booklet with notes from Glenn A Baker. Songs include Spicks and Specks, Wine and Women, Cherry Red, Big Chance and more. *** AS Victorians eagerly await the Melbourne premiere season of the international awardwinning Broadway and West End hit Legally Blonde the Musical , the producers have announced an exciting hometown return of a beloved local lad. After a 20-year absence from performing in Melbourne, Cameron Daddo is set to return in Australia’s biggest new hit musical at the Princess Theatre from 9th May 2013. Daddo, born and bred in Melbourne, first came to the attention of Australian television viewers as the host of the children’s television show Off the Dish which soon led to him hosting his own program: The Cameron Daddo Cartoon Show. He made his mark on the Australian musical stage in Gordon/ Frost’s Big River, winning several major awards for his critically acclaimed portrayal of Huckleberry Finn. www.legallyblonde. com.au Top 10 albums 1.

SEBASTIAN called in to get advice for what is becoming a popular trend– the use of hyphenated names when people marry or cohabit and produce offspring. Sebastian has a hyphenated surname and is very worried because his eldest son Hubert is getting married. Sebastian’s surname is Ivor-Gottar. Once upon a time, just to make things easier for everyone, when people married, the wife would take the husband’s surname, relinquishing her maiden name. This made it easy for departments of births, deaths and marriages all over the world. I think the aristocracy in England started the craze of hyphenated names so the family silverware would be passed on to the rightful heirs. They also suffered the delusion that a hyphenated name sounded more important. I think the only people they were fooling were themselves. There are other names for them, but this is a family newspaper. Some of the hyphenated surnames have to be seen to be believed. Names like Foote-Smelle, Parson-Wind, Argus-Tuft, Dogge-Barken, Eize-Water, and the stupidity of Smith-Smith are among the many noted. Hubert’s fiancee Kayla is a “modern woman”, a feminist and a member of Emily’s List (look it up on the internet). She wants to retain her surname so she does not have to defer to her husband as she is equal in every way. Hence a hyphenated surname is her answer. She is not worried about later generations or that all the bureaucratic forms will need half a page for the surname alone. One thing for sure is her adamant decision to call her first-born son John, a family tradition. Tradition is important to Kayla. Hubert has no choice but to go along with this. Kayla’s surname is Cilli-Naim. Hence their son will be known as John Ivor-GottarCilli-Naim. Sebastian is beside himself (and me at the moment). Poppy’s solution I don’t want to upset the two feminists who read this column, but Blind Freddy can see that by breaking with, dare I say it, “patriarchal tradition”, this whole hyphenating of surnames will become a nightmare. If something isn’t broken, don’t fix it, I say. I got a stubby for Sebastian and myself, then told him the only solution I could see was for him to buy a boat, go fishing and try to put this out of his mind. I did sort of suggest Hubert might be “spirited away” on the day of the wedding as another solution, but left that up to him. Sebastian left muttering about Haines Hunter boats, outboard motors, changing names by deed poll, kidnapping techniques and the need to restock his bar fridge.
A Grain of Salt IT’S the heatwave. My brain was frazzled, the threads barely visible. Try Cliffie. Write anything ...“Knowledge brings power to people!” Where do we acquire this knowledge; Mount Sinai? Innovative ways of involving different sections of the community in matters of obesity? Psychological reasons for implementing programs in the workplace? Can it work, impact? Healthy dads and mums, healthy kids, the importance of living together as a family, eat together. A meaningful conversation between parents and children (USA study) works out at 3.5 minutes a week. Enthusiastic PT teachers, workplace power, a blokey program; evidence based. Information sessions, DVD presentations. It’s all about equality of life; a new language. Listen up! Vague but it’s the best I can manage. *** FOLLOWING on, the NHMRC (these names? National Health Medical Research Council; read “control freaks”) official new dietary guidelines for the evening meal suggest up to 100 grams of fish (don’t drop it or you’ll never find it) rice and a small boiled potato with a glass of water. And that’s for men! For the lovelies it’s a cup of pasta, small beef mince, kidney beans and half an onion; resulting in a race of healthy skeletons. If anyone out there is forced to try this (by a hoodwinked partner or parent) I suggest an unob-
trusive visit to your local pie shop. Skip the sauce; it smells. *** ON the internet: Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what is known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. See? It’s not us, it’s the bloody doors. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale. Phew. *** DERRYN Hinch: “With my new found health I want to spend my remaining years focussing on my career.” Derryn mate, devote what remains to obscurity. Renounce all concern for name and glory. Among other gratifications give up the one which comes from other people’s approval. It’s a waste of your now valuable time. Try Chelsea, or New Zealand. *** TEDDDY knocks off $600 million from the health budget then screams because Julia did likewise with $107 million; Julia pays up but Health Minister David Davis still screams fowl. As a not so avid listener of numerous hospital stories at my local RSL I’m intrigued by the permanency of complaints. My personal experiences oppose these views. Rosebud and Frankston hospitals (including one overnight in a passageway) have al-
ways been friendly, professional and downright nice. We are lucky with our terrific hospital system, in spite of politicians. *** I COULD never warm to Wayne Swann, his skill at sticking with the strength outweighing his knowledge of the multiplication tables. His words about Julia on television “many would agree is the toughest warrior for Labor values in our history?” His shadow, if Joe Hockey could ever be described as such, is surely his equal, either rubbishing something outright and misleading the voters or claiming it as his idea in the first place; a mind change on the flip of a threepenny bit. Both without courage and much bluster and both appear to hide an inferiority complex suggesting (to me at least) they could well be a threat to the public interest. Surplus, surplus and nothing else. Well, not for Wayne anymore; a false figure anyway, a doctored bottom line. A decent-size deficit would surely get things up and running again. Most of the good things done in Victoria were built on deficits. No real damage for now I suppose, both being such glorified “yes” men. *** ON the surface it appears Ben Zygler, with his dual citizenship, was an Israeli secret service spy (as in spying on us) but decided on a bit each way with ASIO. Then Moses (the Mount Sinai lawgiver) found out and into prison
and eventual (suspicious) suicide. No surprises there. The Israelis, like the Board of Control for Cricket in India with ABC commentator Jim Maxwell, are a law unto themselves. Bob Carr and Stephen Smith’s comments suggest it will all blow over. Kevvy Rudd had a go at forged passports by Israel some years back, howled down by many. How is Julian Assange travelling Bob? Check both matters out with Barack O before you answer. *** “SINCE [narcissists] deep down feel themselves to be faultless, it is inevitable that when they are in conflict with the world they will invariably perceive the conflict as the world’s fault. Since they must deny their own badness, they must perceive others as bad. They project their own evil onto the world. They never think of themselves as evil, on the other hand, they consequently see much evil in others.” (M. Scott Peck). I immediately think of the AFL, a giant money ship full of leaks and super self- important people supposedly of substance and Matt Rendell and the Melbourne Football Club and no Tassie team and money, lots of money. Why is that? Does money corrupt? Nah, well, only if it’s coming your way. Oh, and Mossad. *** According to Pope Benedict XV1 God told him to devote himself to quiet contemplation; me too ...

FOOD & ENTERTAINMENT
The orchestra: life’s ultimate utensil By Stuart McCullough WE’VE all seen the adverts – jarring visuals and startling music combined with a voice-over that’s as close to hysteria as is possible without actually exploding. Easy to clean! Removes unwanted stains! (As though there’s any other kind.) Turns a sandwich into a banquet! The problem with these commercials is that when the product is ultimately unveiled, it’s impossible to be anything but underwhelmed. Usually, the device is little more than a plastic lump with a metal attachment, resembling the results of an appendectomy if performed on a washing machine. Plastic surgical offcuts are seldom much use. There’s only one thing that can truly do everything. When most people think of an orchestra, they either think of an uptight bunch of classical musicians existing in the rarefied world of classical music or, possibly, the words “Electric Light�. But an orchestra is so much more than just a 100-person cover band churning out the greatest hits of Beethoven and Mahler. Better than anything, orchestras set the mood. Forget candles or incense; if you really want to control the emotional temperature, music is the way to go. And when it comes to the heavy artillery, nothing packs as much punch as an orchestra. That’s why almost every film you’ve ever seen relies on an orchestra to pull emotional strings. Let me be the first to say I love the Oscars. They’re cheesy and, to borrow from David Niven, succeed in squeezing two hours of entertainment
into four hours. But more than set the mood, the Oscars let an orchestra display its versatility. Besides giving the occasion a sense of gravitas, the orchestra is an indispensible tool for getting people to shut up. Often, an actor, actress or, more horrifyingly, one of the guys from the special effects team will win an award and mistake it as an invitation
to thank everyone they’ve ever met by name or, worse still, attempt to tell their life story. As the entire viewing audience starts to turn rigid with fear, the orchestra cuts in and brings proceedings to a merciful end. There should be more of it. Who among us hasn’t wished for an orchestra to cut off someone mid-sentence? Last week I was at a conference. It

lots of bands, I was only ever in one orchestra and, even then, for a very brief time. In high school, I studied percussion. Inspired either by Tito Puente or, possibly, Sheila E, I turned up for two lessons before my teacher decided it was time for me to join the school orchestra. Right from the outset, I could tell I was different from the other 70 members of the group. For starters, the others were able to play their instruments with a degree of proficiency. To make things worse, the other members of the orchestra had practised their parts; something I considered unnecessary. As the music started, everyone else paid a great deal of attention to their sheet music. In contrast, I decided to improvise. And while I hoped that my contribution would be lost in the cacophony, this was unlikely given that I was playing the drums. Indeed, as I flailed like a Muppet, it became obvious that I was playing as though I was in a different band, if not performing a different piece of music. The conductor was aghast and stopped the performance solely for the purpose of asking me what it was I was doing. As 140 eyes focused on me, it was clear that no answer I could provide would be good enough. In an ideal world, I would have picked up my sticks, made a short concession speech and left the room as the remaining members of the orchestra gave me a suitable musical send off. Sadly, it was not to be. I simply had to take it, with humiliation as my only accompaniment. www.stuartmccullough.com

At the Bendigo it starts with U.
Baxter, POB, Sharks and Dogs in semis PROVINCIAL By IT Gully BAXTER will tackle Peninsula Old Boys while Sorrento will tackle Mornington in MPCA Provincial semi-finals this weekend. While Baxter and the Old Boys will head into the knockout final coming off wins, the Doggies and Sharks will need to turn around their last round form in the semi-final clash after losing their final home and away matches. The teams have met once this season. The reigning premiers met POB in the first game after Christmas, a oneday match at Baxter Park. On that occasion, POB won the toss, sent Baxter in to bat and restricted the home side to 8/140 in its allocated 40 overs. Daniel Warwick top-scored for Baxter with 64, while Adam Jones and Jon Forrest did the damage with the ball with 3/20 and 3/36 respectively. Unfortunately for the Old Boys, its batsmen couldn’t back up the bowlers and were rolled for 136 in the final over.
Glenn Prendergast led from the front with 50, while Dylan O’Malley was next best with 12. Sam Wolsgrove did the damage with the ball for Baxter with 3/27, while Dale Irving claimed 2/22. Sorrento and Mornington went headto-head at David MacFarlan Reserve just a month ago in round nine. Sorrento batted first and amassed 220 from 74.3 overs, Liam O’Connor top-scoring with 74, Leigh Poholke getting 25 and Rob Dunball 32. A J King at the end put on a more than handy 19. Matt Foon did most of the damage for the Doggies with 5/48 from 18 overs, while Glenn Wood claimed 2/63. In reply, the Doggies had to dig deep but scored 8/225 from its 75 overs. At one stage Mornington was 5/133. Ben Clements top-scored with 57, Luke Popov hit 47 and 15-year-old Ryan McDonald burst onto the MPCA scene with 30. Andrew King claimed 5/84 from 31 overs for the Sharks. All four sides are evenly matched. Luck and producing something special on the day will be the only difference
between them. Mornington is the new kid on the block in terms of finals experience, sitting in the cricketing wilderness in recent seasons. The other three teams are seasoned campaigners. Baxter needs its openers to get it away to a good start, with Dale Irving and Daniel Warwick obvious keys, along with Adrian Mack and Sam Wolsgrove. For POB, Dylan O’Malley, Jon Forrest, Adam Jones and Glenn Prendergast need to be at their best. Jedd Flack, Nick Jewell, Anthony Blackwell and A J King are the keys for the Sharks. The Doggies will rely on Rob Hearn and Ben Clements, along with Matt Foon and Luke Popov. The Doggies look the most potent, together with the Sharks. POB and Baxter have an even spread – the match will be a typical grind. In the final game of the season, Baxter beat Sorrento in the final over of the day. Sorrento batted first and made 146 from 40 overs, Blackwell getting 44 and Mark Dunball 26. Marc Uccello claimed 5/32 with the ball for Baxter. Baxter was cruising
chasing the Sorrento total until the middle order collapsed and it lost 4/28. It was then 9/142, five runs from victory. Irving saved the day with 47, Darren Uccello opened with 23 and Marc Uccello rounded off a great day with 23 batting at 10. Mt Eliza got the chocolates against Long Island. The Islanders batted first and scored 8/136, Justin Bridgeman top-scoring with 71 and Jason Bedford getting 41. In reply, Justin Grant ensured the Mounties got home, scoring 78. Heatherhill batted first against Mornington and scored an impressive 8/203 from 40 overs, Matty Meagher getting 66, Matt Bishop 39 and Steve O’Donnell 38. Glenn Wood claimed 3/71 for the Dogs, while Matt Foon and Jack Heseltine picked up two wickets each. In reply, the Dogs’ batsmen were bowled out 50 runs short. Foon topscored with 41 and Luke Harper hit 30 Daniel Woods did the job for Heatherhill with 3/18, while Meagher took 2/14. POB scored 5/137 in its 40 overs against Mt Martha before bowling
out the home side for 75 in 33.2 overs. Rye finished its season on a high with a win against Moorooduc. Corey Harris top-scored for the Demons in its total of 7/220, while Rhys Wynne was next best with 40. In reply, Moorooduc was restricted to 9/173, Wynne taking 5/38 from 10 overs. Controversy surrounds the Crib Point v Ballam Park match, although the result will have no impact on the final four, or Ballam Park’s pending relegation to District ranks. Crib Point tried everything to get an outright win against Ballam Park but fell short. The Knights won the toss and sent the Magpies in to bat. The Pies piled on 7/154 in 40 overs, Ricky Thompson again top-scoring with 35 and Brad Davidson getting 29. The Pies then rolled the Knights for 93 in 26.3 overs, Luke Herrington getting 4/31. Crib Point then sent Ballam Park back into bat but the Knights scored the required runs, finishing on 8/65 in 13 overs.
Baden Powell knocks out Parkers DISTRICT By IT Gully BADEN Powell will play Langwarrin in one of the MPCA District semifinals this weekend after it knocked Delacombe Park out of the race. In the other semi-final, Carrum play Somerville after they finished in second and third position on the ladder. There were plenty of scenarios that were possible coming into the final round with many teams in contention to make the finals, but the major interest was the result of the Baden Powell versus Delacombe Park match. Played at the home of Delacombe Park, the home side was hot favourite to win. It plays its ground well and is blessed with matchwinners. Its recent form has been the most consistent it has been for most of the season. There is no question that on its day, Delacombe Park was the most potent
team in the competition and the other four teams will be happy it will not be part of finals action. Baden Powell had to take the match up to the home side. The team batted first and scored a more than competitive 4/197 from 40 overs. It appeared to be just under par on the small Delacombe Park ground. In reply, the Braves’ bowlers stepped up to the crease. Nathan Rice snared four of the first five wickets, including Chris Glendinning, Nick Christides, Chris Brittain and Jon Guthrie. At one stage, the Parkers were 5/48. Ben Brittain top-scored with 39 and Shane Deal scored 22 to help the Parkers to 138. Hastings needed everything to go right for it to play finals. Unfortunately, against the Pines on Saturday, absolutely nothing went to plan. It batted first and was bowled out for 91, Scott Phillips top-scoring with 25. Ricky Ramsdale claimed four wickets for the Piners.
In reply, the Blues toiled hard to get Pines six down before the team passed the score with 14 overs to spare. Brett Remy top-scored with 37. Phillips claimed 5/25. Flinders finished the season on a high, knocking over Carrum, which finished second on the ladder. Flinders restricted the Lions to 7/149 from its 40 overs, Lou Gillies claiming 3/22. Timmy Clarke then belted an unbeaten 93 to help the Sharks to 6/152 with 10 balls to spare. Langwarrin was given something to chase against Frankston YCW, which batted first and scored 5/197. Skipper Mark Cooper has hit some form in recent matches and scored 64 while Jake Prosser belted 75, which included five fours and five sixes. The minor premiers got there with five overs to spare. Boneo finished the season on a high, getting the points against Main Ridge. Both looked capable of playing
finals at times during the season but neither could maintain enough consistency to be challengers. Boneo batted first and scored 9/205, Alex Petrovic top-scored with 79 from 67 balls (14 fours and one six) and Matty Rogers belting 43 from 48 deliveries (three fours and two sixes). Cam Williams then claimed 3/57 to help Boneo restrict the Ridge to 8/199. Gareth Wyatt scored 44, Jason Albress 40 and Brendan Rossborough 38. Somerville warmed up for its final quite nicely, beating Seaford four wickets down and with five overs to spare. The Eagles kept Seaford to 8/157 (Damien Lawrence top-scored with 47) before scoring 4/159 in a dominant performance.
Finals preview Carrum and Somerville met in the first two-day game of the season in October last year. Carrum limped to 152 in 74 overs, thanks largely to a
solo performance from Dean Polson, who scored 82. Craig Foster with 23 was the only other Lion to score more than 10. Aaron Kaddatz was the pick of the Somerville bowlers with 4/28, while Russell Wilkes and Sam Delaney claimed two wickets each. In reply, the Eagles team was cruising at 2/72, before crashing to be all out for 124. Ben Delaney topscored with 48. Keith Burdett was still getting into the swing of cricket again. Langwarrin met Baden Powell in round four at Lloyd Park. On that occasion, the Braves squad won the toss and batted and was dismissed for 108 in 63 overs. Andy Johnson claimed 4/30 for the Kangas, while Mal Coutts and Dwayne Doig each collected two wickets. Sam Mullavey top-scored with 19 for the Braves. In reply, Langwarrin scored 222 in 69.4 overs. Johnson scored 49, David Ross 39 and Simon McEvoy 31.
Seaford into finals as Tyabb goes down SUB DISTRICT By IT Gully TYABB has missed out on MPCA Sub-district finals after going down to Red Hill in a must-win game. Its percentage wasn’t good enough to compete with six of the top sides and in the end proved to be its downfall. Seaford Tigers was the beneficiary, sneaking into fourth place without playing a match. The Tigers had the bye and collected 12 points. Its percentage was good before the match. Rosebud limped into the finals and its poor form after Christmas was highlighted by its draw with cellar
dwellers Carrum Downs on Saturday. Balnarring stormed into the finals with an emphatic victory over Pearcedale. Balnarring finished on top of the table and will play the Tigers in the semi-final this weekend. In the other semi-final, Rosebud will tackle Red Hill in an all-southern peninsula match. Pearcedale had to beat Balnarring to get a place in the finals. It lost the toss and was given the new ball but could not restrict the minor premiers. Balnarring was on fire with the bat and scored 6/207, Michael Griese top-scoring with 53, Brenton Taylor opening with 52 and Luke Chapple,
Tim Jessup and Mark Walles all getting runs. The Panthers’ batsmen were then restricted to 8/159 off 40 overs. Kaine Smith top-scored with 53 while Brad Trotter scored 35. Brad Arnold, Chapple and Taylor all claimed two wickets each for Balnarring. Red Hill batted first against Tyabb and smacked 5/216. Simon Dart scored an unbeaten 84, while Riley Shaw (37) and Owen McKillip (36) made good contributions. The Hillmen bowlers then did the job, bowling out the Yabbies in the second-last over. Luke Toy claimed 3/52 and Nick
Wood and Dart picked up two wickets. Luke Rus has had a sensational season for the Yabbies and top-scored again on Saturday with 50, while Nick Taranto compiled 43.
Finals preview
Balnarring and Seaford Tigers met in round 10 in what proved to be a one-sided match. The Tigers batted first and were rolled for just 88 in the 36th over. Brad Arnold was dominant for the visitors with 6/38, while Mitch Kleinig snared 3/21. Balnarring wasn’t great with the bat and was bowled out for 147 after being 3/90 at one stage. Taylor top-scored with 32 and Chris Murphy scored 29.
Corey Hand claimed 4/54 for the Tigers, and Dave James and Gavin Gardiner-Smith each picked up two wickets. Rosebud and Red Hill met in the final game before Christmas in round six. The Buds batted first and were well held to 158 from 74.1 overs. It was 3/21 before Leigh Parslow (30), Peter Doughty (22), Brian Doughty (20) and Scott Millar (22) resurrected the innings. Rosebud then tore through the Red Hill batsmen, dismissing them for just 63. Jason Nagel and Scott Millar bowled 18 overs each and picked up 5/33 and 5/26 respectively.

Peninsula’s Jonathan Munz in the money BIG-SPENDING owner Jonathan Munz had a thoroughly deserved return on his investment when Ferlax won the $500,000 Group 1 Australian Guineas at Flemington. Over the past 15 or 20 years, Munz has put a lot of money into racing but has had only limited success. His enthusiasm was fired in the early days when he enjoyed feature race victories with the classy Show No Emotion, who won such races as the Ascot Vale Stakes, Angus Brut and A J Moir Stakes as well as a third behind General Nediym in the Group 1 Lightning Stakes. Other top-liners such as Above Deck, Molotov, Purple Groove, Rekindled Interest, Sharkbite and Gunnamatta – a winner of three consecutive Mornington Cups – have carried his white and red stripes and encouraged him to go in deeper. This led to him developing the Pinecliff training facility on Sunnyside Rd in Mt Eliza. In more recent times he has had Jim Conlan as his private trainer and this is paying dividends. Since winning the 2011 Group 2 Dato’tan Stakes under Conlan’s care, Rekindled Interest went on to finish third behind Pinker Pinker in the Cox Plate. Unfortunately Rekindled Interest failed to recapture that form this season but Ferlax’s performance in
the Guineas will have heartened Munz and Conlan. A winner of his three previous races, Ferlax went into the race a relative outsider but was brilliantly ridden by Stephen Baster. He was quickly into his stride and settled in third place on the rails before securing a run inside the pacemaker around the 300-metre mark. He went on to score in authoritative fashion from the promising filly You’re So Good with Sheer Talent third. The win has left Munz and Conlan with a dilemma of which feature race to tackle in the coming weeks. A logical progression would be Randwick Guineas (1600m) on Saturday week and then the Rosehill Guineas (2000m) on 30 March. The alternative program would be to keep the son of Pentire fresh for the All Aged Stakes (1400m) at Randwick on 27 April and the $1 million Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) at Eagle Farm on 8 June. “I think we have a very good, very exciting horse,” Conlan said of Ferlax. “He is quite immature still and we don’t want to overtax him at this stage of his career as there are a lot of good races ahead of him. “He could even be a Cox Plate horse in the spring.” *** IMPORTED galloper Green Moon is poised to notch another major victory for leading owner Lloyd Williams when he runs in the $1 million Australian Cup at Flemington on
Mt Eliza winner: Ferlax with Stephen Baster on board takes the prestigious Australian Guineas at Flemington.
Saturday. At his only appearance since winning last year’s Melbourne Cup, Green Moon finished a pleasing third behind boom three-year-old All Too Hard in the Group 1 Futurity Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield on 23 February. This effort will have primed him for his Australian Cup outing and he will appreciate the extra 600 metres as well racing on the spacious Flemington circuit. Interestingly, Green Moon won the Blamey Stakes (1600m) on the day last year and the ruling Melbourne Cup favourite Puissance De Lune is to resume in the event. The Blamey Stakes was Green Moon’s only start in the autumn and that is the plan with Puissance De Lune, a promising stayer. The entire, who is trained at Ballarat by Darren Weir, created a huge impression when bolting away with the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2500m) on the last day of the Melbourne Cup
carnival. After the event, three-time Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Glen Boss predicted Puissance De Lune could win the 2013 renewal. *** WITH Black Caviar remaining on the sidelines, her trainer Peter Moody will be relying on Moment of Change in the $1 million Newmarket Handicap (1200m) at Flemington on Saturday. The lightly raced four-year-old is a Group 1 winner and resumed with an encouraging second behind Black Caviar in the Lightning Stakes (1000m) on 16 February. This led to Moment of Change being elevated to favouritism for the Newmarket and while he is the horse to beat, a long-shot with legitimate claims is the Queenslander Spirit Of Boom. A Group 1 placed five-year-old, Spirit of Boom had an interrupted passage when resuming with a third to the speedy Mrs Onassis
