Strong performance on Warrnambool line

TRAIN passengers travelling on the Warrnambool line have enjoyed improved punctuality according to V/Line.

In a statement issued by V/Line earlier this week, the spokesperson said the Warrnambool line was the best performing line across the V/Line network in December, exceeding the monthly reliability and punctuality targets for the 10th consecutive month.

While Warrnambool line trains were replaced by express coaches from Waurn Ponds to Southern Cross until last Sunday, the line recorded 98.7 per cent reliability for December.

“Figures for December exceeded the 96 per cent monthly reliability target for the 14th consecutive month,” the spokesperson said.

December was also the 10th consecutive month – and was the 11th time overall in 2025 - that the Warrnambool line reached both the punctuality and reliability monthly targets.

Passengers can enjoy free weekend travel across Victoria’s public transport network until February 1.

Passengers planning to travel on the Warrnambool line are encouraged to plan ahead and make a reservation in advance by booking online, at a staffed V/Line or premium Metro station, by calling 1800 800 007 or by visiting a retail ticket agent.

SES let down Britnell says

EMERGENCY service volunteers who generously give their time to protect lives and communities are once again being let down according to Member for South West Coast, Roma Britnell.

According to Ms Britnell, the Minister for Emergency Services (Vikki Ward), having overseen the Emergency Services Volunteer Fund,is now refusing to take responsibility for its impact on volunteers.

“The so called ‘Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund’, introduced last year despite widespread community opposition, forces SES units to pay a levy on the buildings that house their lifesaving equipment,” Ms Britnell said

“These buildings are not commercial assets, they are volunteer sheds, maintained and operated by people who rely entirely on fundraising to operate.

“Volunteer organisations do not earn an income. Their only source of funding comes from sausage sizzles, donations, raffles, and community events.

“That means this levy is not being paid by government and not absorbed by bureaucracy. It is paid by volunteers working longer hours simply to hand money back to the state for the privilege of serving their communities. The irony is staggering.”

In a statement released last week, Ms Britnell said that when she made representations to the Minister, pointing out the absurdity and asking for an exemption in these cases, she responded by handballing responsibility to the Treasurer and refused to act.

“Despite clear authority to exempt certain groups, as has rightly been done for farmers experiencing drought, emergency service volunteer sheds have been left out,” she said.

“This is not just a policy failure, it is a failure of respect. Local SES units, including Portland SES, have made it clear that there is no money with which to pay this bill.

“As the SES volunteers said, the government can wait as long as it likes, but the unit cannot pay a tax without revenue,” Ms Britnell said.

“And what is the government going to do? Sack the volunteers and close down the SES.”

Ms Britnell believes the “inevitable outcome of this approach” will be fewer resources, fewer volunteers, and weaker emergency preparedness.

“Victorians deserve better than another bill from a government that leans on the goodwill of volunteers to keep our communities safe.”

Glenys continues fight for Lookout

GLENYS Phillpot is ending 25 years of service on the WRAD Health committee of management but is vowing to continue fighting one battle.

Mrs Phillpot will remain chair of The Lookout Residential Rehabilitation Committee and said securing the facility remains a top priority for the region.

Mrs Phillpot has been a major part of the evolution of WRAD Health, watching it grow from a base in a residential property opposite the Warrnambool Base Hospital with only a few staff, to expanded offices in Fairy Street and now a purpose-built centre in Merri Street with 35 staff.

“I’m really proud of the progress WRAD Health has made and the good work it does,” she said.

“The input from the WRAD team has been incredible and the services continue to expand and improve. It’s something of which Warrnambool should be proud because it is rare to have a stand-alone alcohol and other drug service in a community such as ours.”

Mrs Phillpot was working alongside then WRAD treasurer Peter McMillan at Sinclair Wilson when she was invited to join the committee 25 years ago.

“I believed it was a need that required addressing in our community,” she said. “Rodger Brough played a big part in the early days. Having a specialist in the field based in Warrnambool was very helpful.

“We moved from a house opposite the hospital to a bigger facility in Fairy Street and eventually to Merri Street. It’s so much better than where we were 25 years ago but the organisation continues to grow and that puts pressure on the facilities.”

Mrs Phillpot said WRAD Health would continue to

expand to meet the needs of the community.

“There are so many things on the drawing board that will improve and broaden the service,” she said.

“The bulk billing medical practice is a real boon for local people but all of the services delivered by innovative and enthusiastic staff are making outcomes better for people.”

However, she added that WRAD Health continued to face challenges. “Government funding is an ongoing challenge, which is something all not-for-profits are aware of.

“They are being given less money and expected to do more, which means you have to be very creative and work very hard to keep your head above water.”

The biggest individual challenge is making The Lookout Residential Rehabilitation Centre a reality and Mrs Phillpot is determined to see it eventuate.

“I want to stay involved with the Lookout committee if I can be useful, it’s an absolute passion of mine,” she said.

“I’ll be delighted when that is eventually set up in Warrnambool to serve the region.”

Mrs Phillpot said the committee was formed to raise awareness and advocate for the centre and had achieved its goal. “We’ve effectively moved past that. It has been highly successful in that the community now knows about the Lookout centre and the responses when funding gets knocked back is `why haven’t we got this yet?’

“The broad range of people who responded to the call when we were raising money is proof of the broad community support. I want to see that through. I’d be very disappointed if it doesn’t eventuate in Warrnambool.

“It’s not dissimilar to the cancer centre. If you fold Victoria in half, the western side previously had cancer

centres only in the eastern half of the state. It’s the same with residential rehab. Mildura has one in progress but that’s far too far away to service this part of Victoria.”

On the local front, the committee had to deal with people opposing its original proposed location.

“It was a small group of people who didn’t really understand that other communities have residential rehabilitation facilities even next to schools and aged care facilities with little impact,” she said.

“It’s not the boogeyman that people imagine.”

A former Warrnambool City councillor and recipient of the Order of Australia Medal, Mrs Phillpot said she had thoroughly enjoyed her 25 years on the WRAD Health committee of management.

“I wouldn’t have stayed as long if it hadn’t been enjoyable but as you advance in years, it’s good to get fresh and younger perspectives coming in,” she said.

WRAD Health CEO Mark Powell said Mrs Phillpot’s contribution to the organisation had been profound and enduring.

“Throughout her 25 years on the Committee of Management, Glenys has carried out her governance responsibilities in an exemplary manner, consistently demonstrating insight, integrity and a deep empathy for our clients,” he said.

“She has played a particularly pivotal leadership role as Chair of the Lookout Committee, where her vision, credibility and persistence have been instrumental in advancing one of WRAD Health’s most significant and ambitious strategic priorities.

“In addition, she has provided years of thoughtful and valuable input into the organisation’s strategy, governance and long-term direction.”

Lifeline to benefit from car show

MOTORING enthusiasts of all ages headed to Cannon Hill last Sunday morning for the chance to browse a range of classic cars, hot rods and muscle cars.

The annual event, which has been organised for several years by members of the Warrnambool Kruzin Classics club, was well received by visitors.

“This car show has been held at Cannon Hill for the last five or so years

and was previously up on the highway and held at the same time as the Melbourne to Warrnambool Cycling Classic,” club secretary Mick Katsaros said.

“But the classic changed dates and sponsors and the dates that we had available to us (to ensure our show didn’t clash with other car shows) didn’t align with the cycling event so we changed both our date and venue.

“It has actually worked out quite well; we moved to Cannon Hill and now host the car show on the same weekend as the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic at

Premier Speedway.”

Mr Katsaros said the change of both date and location has proven beneficial over the years and this year was no exception.

“Thousands of motorsport lovers were already in town for the Classic at Premier, and there was still plenty of tourists around, so we estimate we had a couple of thousand through the gate – it’s hard to get an accurate number because we only charge a nominal fee.”

Around 200 cars were on display, including those from the 1950s and

60s, along with several hot rods and others that arrived on the day.

“We don’t knock anyone back; if people are eager to display their vehicles as part of the show then they’re most welcome,” Mr Katsaros said.

“The majority of proceeds from the admission is always distributed to a charity of our choice each year and this year that will be Lifelife. Our committee will meet next Monday night to discuss the cheque amount and we’re looking forward to making this donation to a very worthy recipient.”

Big rigs on show

BIG and small rigs of all sorts were on show at this month’s Koroit Truck Show.

Once again crowds flocked to the town to enjoy the annual event, which has become a holiday tradition for many locals and tourists to the region.

A 2022 SAR Legend Kenworth, owned by Cornwill Transport, took out the ‘Rig of the Show’ award while the ‘Best Fleet’ award went to the Midfield Troup.

WRAD Health cautions use of AI

WRAD Health is cautioning south-west residents to be careful with how they use artificial intelligence for accessing health advice.

New Australian research published in the Medical Journal of Australia (MJA) shows a growing number of people are using artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT to seek health information, highlighting both emerging opportunities and clear risks for the healthcare system.

The nationally representative study found that 9.9 per cent of Australian adults used ChatGPT for health-related questions in the previous six months, with many seeking information that involved interpretation of symptoms, conditions or next steps.

Worldwide that number is estimated to be around 40 million per day.

WRAD Health CEO Mark Powell said the research reflects what frontline services are already seeing.

“People are using google and AI tools to make sense of what’s happening for them or someone they care about,” Mr Powell said.

“Used well, AI can help people reflect, and make the idea of reaching out feel less daunting, but it should never replace professional care or human judgement.

“We strongly support the message from researchers that AI use in healthcare must be cautious, transparent and ethical,” Mr Powell said.

“When used responsibly, it can complement not compromise access to highquality care but it should never replace professional care or human judgement.”

The MJA authors noted that while AI tools may improve access to information and support health literacy, there are significant risks if AI-generated information is misunderstood, over-trusted, or used in place of professional care, particularly for complex or high-risk health issues.

Both Australian and international research shows that AI tools can produce inaccurate or incomplete medical information, may respond confidently to incorrect assumptions, are not regulated as medical devices, cannot assess risk, context, or safeguarding needs and can increase the risk of delayed care if relied on in isolation.

However, Mr Powell said WRAD Health believed the rise of AI use also presents an opportunity for health services to improve access and engagement, provided AI is positioned as a bridge into care, not a substitute for it.

“As long as AI is used responsibly, it could help people recognise when to seek help and reduce barriers for families and carers, and support earlier, safer engagement.

“AI can help people ask better questions and feel less alone,” Mr Powell said,” but healing happens in relationship. Our role is to be the safe, human next step once the thinking has started.”

“We need to be clear AI does not diagnose, treat or hold risk. Safe, ethical use means guiding people towards qualified services earlier, not encouraging selfmanagement in isolation.”

Folkie unveils more artists

ORGANISERS of the Port Fairy Folk Festival continue to add some exciting artists to the program, with a mix of international guests, First Nations voices and Australian songwriters now set to perform.

From soul-stirring folk and roots to choral spectacles, experimental sounds and participatory experiences, the latest additions once again reinforces Port Fairy Folk Festival’s reputation as one of the Australia’s most inclusive, adventurous and deeply connected musical gatherings.

Some of the newly announced artists include America’s Annahstasia, Sam Evian, and Annie and The

Caldwells.

ARIA-nominated First Nations artist Bumpy (who fuses neo-soul, hip hop and gospel) is also on the program along with renowned artists such as Ella Ion, Emily Wurramara, Gabby Steel, Kaurna Cronin, Liz Stringer, the Grigoryan Brothers and the Tin Shed Singers.

The uplifting Find Your Voice Collective Showcase will no doubt be another crowd pleaser, as will the traditional Festival Choir.

Yoga and live music can be enjoyed by festival goers on the Saturday and Sunday morning.

According to director Justin Rudge, the recent

announcement shows the width and breadth of the spirit that is the Port Fairy Folk Festival.

“World class artists sharing the stage with emerging voices, community choirs and participatory experiences shows that the festival is all about celebrating music as something that brings people together,” Mr Rudge said.

“Whether that’s through an intimate song, a shared cultural story, or thousands of voices singing as one, it’s certain to be another memorable festival.

“We’re just two months away and we can’t wait to continue traditions and celebrations in the beautiful village of Port Fairy.”

Truckies unite for hay convoy

A GROUP of truck drivers will depart Allansford tomorrow morning (Saturday) with around 50 loads of hay to support fireravaged farmers in the state’s north.

Truck driver Eddie White has been one of the organisers helping to harness a unified approach between Warrnambool-district farmers and drivers to get hay and silage where it needs to go.

Truck drivers from Portland through to Colac will be taking part in the hay run which will depart Allansford at 6.30am this Saturday, January 31 from 29 Factory Road.

Speaking with the Warrnambool Weekly, Mr White said the effort was all about helping out where possible.

“We’ll have about 50 trucks out of the western parts of Victoria, all of which will be taking donated hay,” he said.

“When the fires all hit, we decided we wanted to do a hay run down to the areas impacted but we all wanted to do it under our own drive.

“We just wanted to do it ourselves, not part of any other big hay run groups.

“We just want to go down and help the farmers out.

“For a lot of us in the south west our main work comes from farmers, so we want to give back to farmers.”

Hay trucks will travel in a convoy on Saturday morning in a bid to get support where it is needed most.

The convoy will travel along the Princes Highway through Terang, Camperdown, Colac, Geelong before travelling the Hume Highway to Tallarook and Yea.

From there, the hay will be distributed to farms as needed.

Mr White said the inundation of support, from those donating or even just offering appreciation and kind words, meant the world to all involved.

“It’s amazing to see the support we’ve gotten, there’s been other hay runs which have gotten 70 truckloads from across Victoria.

“We’re taking 50 truckloads from just one little area.

“Our farmers are doing it tough and are still willing to do what they can for others, and that’s not us putting ourselves on a pedestal, but people want to help out.

“People know if we burn out or fall under drought again, the people who receive the hay may one day be the ones donating the hay.”

Mr White said he hoped to see residents lining the streets in a show of solidarity for the drought-impacted farmers giving what they can for those doing it even tougher.

“We want people to get out there and watch us as we go past,” he said.

“We’re doing what we can to try help those in need.”

Citizenship ceremony turns engagement party

Congratulations: Port Fairy’s Konwika ‘Anne’ Sermram was in for a shock on Monday when receiving her recognition as an Australian citizen – turning around to find her longtime partner, Tony McIlroy, down on one knee to propose.

A SURPRISE proposal gave Port Fairy’s Konwicka ‘Anne’ Sermram another reason to smile after her partner Tony McIlroy snuck on stage to pop the big question seconds after she became an Australian citizen.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the Panmure Community Hall during Moyne Shire Council’s Australia Day ceremony on Monday as mayor Cr Jordan Lockett conferred citizenship.

Ms Sermram was among the 16 members of the community beaming as they were welcomed as new Australians, but her smile grew far wider as she turned to see Mr McIlroy waiting on bended knee.

Mr McIlroy acknowledged his heart was racing as he snuck to pop the question to his partner of nine years.

While she was reciting the pledge, he had carefully pulled an engagement ring from his pocket and strode up the stairs to ask the question which carries a pledge of its own.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Mr McIlroy told the Warrnambool Weekly following the ceremony.

“It’s been on the cards for a while but I was waiting for the right time, I guess.

“I have no idea what was going through my mind – I was nervous.”

The question itself could not be heard over the roar of the packed house in attendance.

The rows of the hall were filled with smiles and applause, and no shortage of tears.

Mr McIlroy made sure he’d invited as many family and friends as possible, knowing the importance of citizenship to Ms Sermram – but also the importance of the step he was about to take.

“It was all so stressful that it’s all a bit of a blur,” he said.

“I just had to look at her and not the crowd.”

Ms Sermram has been in Australia for the past 17 years, and following her recognition as an Australian – in addition to becoming engaged – was ready to celebrate.

“I made sure as many people as possible could be here,” Mr McIlroy said.

“Then we’ve got a pretty good Aussie Day party back at home with everything set up.

“Hay bales, a band coming – a real Aussie party.”

Jazz festival next month

JAZZ lovers of all ages will be in for a musical treat at next month’s Port Fairy Jazz Festival.

The hard-working committee has spent the last year preparing to host the event on the second weekend in February.

Acquiring the necessary 10 suitable venues has proven challenging this year, and volunteers have also spent countless hours programming more than 130 bands to each play twice over the weekend.

But their commitment will no doubt pay off over the weekend of Friday, February 13 – Sunday, February 15, when the town fills with the sounds of more than 500 musicians.

It is hoped the event will be well supported by locals and visitors to the town.

This year’s event has attracted performers from as far afield as Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and many places in between.

In just a few short years the Port Fairy Jazz Festival has gained a reputation among musicians as being ‘the’ place to play and hear music from the full range of styles.

Audiences will be treated to everything from traditional New Orleans groups (such as Shirazz and Hot B’Hines) and swing bands large and small (Corner Pocket and Big Swing) through to groups led by excellent vocalists including Sarah MacLaine, Pippa

Wilson, Anita Harris and Jennifer Salisbury.

Fusion groups (Munkus Funkus) and eclectic bands who mix their styles (Rory and Roger Clark, Vida Jazz and Todd Sidney Trio) will also be on the program.

Another feature of this year’s festival will be the free stage at Fiddler’s Green, and the awarding of the John Huf Award which encourages young performers to become involved in jazz.

The award will be presented in the Lecture Hall on the Sunday afternoon.

For tickets to this year’s festival simply head to the Port Fairy Jazz Festival website or purchase from the office (located in the hall at St John’s Church) during the weekend.

Warrnambool Australia Day Awards

Honour for life saving club

THE Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club (SLSC) has received a special Australia Day award in recognition of its hosting of the Life Saving Victoria Senior State Championships.

The event, hosted by the Warrnambool club, was named the 2026 Warrnambool Community Event of the Year at the city’s recent Australia Day celebrations.

The 2025 championships brought more than 1000 people to Warrnambool across the three-day carnival, with competitors travelling from across Victoria to take part in beach, sand and boat events.

Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club Director Membership and Leadership Development Jacinta Roache said the club has highlyskilled members with a strong volunteer culture.

“We’re all really proud of our club. Every year, the commitment from our members is mind boggling, in hours, in knowledge and enthusiasm,” she said.

“We have so many members putting their hand up prepared to jump on board.”

She said the benefits extended well beyond the club, with visitors returning year after year.

“It’s not just about what it brings to our club, it’s what it brings to the broader Warrnambool community, because it brings so many people here to our beautiful coastline.”

Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain thanked the Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club for its enormous contribution to Warrnambool.

“To host a major state championship is a big achievement. To do it every year for over a decade is unheard of for a regional city,” he said.

“It’s only made possible through the dedication and professionalism of so many people at the Warrnambool Surf Life Saving Club who continue to put their hands up year after year to help make is a success.

“As a coastal city, we’re very proud of our beach, and this event is a real showcase of that. We’ve got beautiful Lady Bay where events can be moved to different sections depending on the conditions.

“And many of the competitors stay at our foreshore caravan parks and just really enjoy the precinct. When you’ve got the beach to one side, Lake Pertobe on the other and the city centre just up the hill, it makes for a pretty good place to spend a long weekend.

“Congratulations to everyone involved, and I’m looking forward to another successful event in March with the Junior State Championships to be hosted in Warrnambool.”

Meekah named top Young Citizen

MEEKAH Merriman’s creativity and leadership are already making an impact across Warrnambool – earning her top honours in this year’s Australia Day awards.

The 2026 Warrnambool Young Citizen of the Year, Warrnambool College Year 12 student and proud young Indigenous woman was recognised for her cultural storytelling, artistic contributions and advocacy for young people.

Meekah was one of four students who worked with teacher Anthea Rafferty and artists Sherry Johnstone and Mel Steffensen to create the Six Indigenous Seasons corten steel artwork at Warrnambool College.

The artwork represents the six seasons observed by Peek Whurrong People for thousands of years and recognises their deep connection with Country and living their lives in harmony with the changing seasons.

“Seeing it done, I was so grateful. It’s going to be here forever, and my name is on it, so I feel like a star in a way,” she said.

“Especially indigenous students, seeing something like this can really help them feel like they belong.”

Meekah said one of the key elements of the artwork held deep personal meaning.

“Bunjil, the eagle, is our totem animal. It’s in relation to my great pop, Banjo Clarke. I’ve always represented him as an eagle,” she said.

“So I thought it would be really nice to include that in there. It means a lot. I connect to it.”

The artwork was later recreated by the 2025 Leadership Great South Coast cohort and installed in James Swan Reserve, helping to spread the message and reach more people.

Meekah is also working on a children’s book inspired by the Six Seasons, with the aim of sharing local Indigenous culture and knowledge with younger audiences.

Beyond the creative realm, Meekah is also a leader and advocate for young people.

“Being a leader, I can take in everyone’s ideas. I can listen to everyone, I can give back,” she said.

“People might start to look up to me, and they feel if something needs to be changed, it can happen.

“I feel like I can be trusted. I just really want to help students.”

Meekah’s community-mindedness runs in her family, with her grandmother Bernice Clarke recognised with a Local Achiever Award in 2017.

“She’s taught me a lot through storytelling. She’s guided me through paintings. My aunty Fiona Clarke has been a big inspiration as well.

She’s always encouraged me.

“I have a lot of artists around me who can guide and support me.”

Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain congratulated Meekah on her award and said her leadership was already making a positive impact.

“Meekah has shown that leadership can come through creativity, cultural pride and a genuine desire to help others,” he said.

“The Six Indigenous Seasons artwork is a wonderful example of how young people can share knowledge and help others feel a sense of belonging.

“To see that message then carried into the wider community through the James Swan Reserve installation is something the whole city can be proud of.

“Meekah is a terrific role model, and I’m delighted to recognise her as Warrnambool’s Young Citizen of the Year.”

Meekah was presented with her award during last Friday’s presentation evening at the Warrnambool Stadium.

Warrnambool Australia Day Awards

Bruce Morton keeps toys in play

BRUCE Morton’s efforts to repair hundreds of toys for the Warrnambool Toy Library has seen him recognised with the 2026 Local Achiever Award.

Bruce’s wife Carol saw a post on Facebook from the toy library, asking for help to repair a shed full of toys.

She said ‘Bruce, you could fix those,’ and over the past two years, he’s worked to keep damaged toys out of landfill and into the hands of happy kids.

As an ex-farmer, he said that having a knack for fixing things goes with the territory, and he always enjoyed working with his hands.

“Doll houses, bikes, plastic, wood, anything that can be fixed, I look at it,” he said.

“It keeps the brain occupied. This really makes you think of how you can fix it.

“Just the look on their faces when you can bring something back that’s workable again that was going to go in the bin, I really enjoy it.

“I’m just glad I can help. That’s the main thing.”

He said his most difficult job was a castle with a broken hinge that connected to four separate

parts.

“I filled it with silicone, then drilled the hole from both ends and put a bolt through. I tightened it up… and it’s still going,” he said.

He said that he’s always happy to spread the word about the Toy Library, especially when he’s purchasing parts that he doesn’t already have on hand.

“I reckon there’s a lot of people who don’t know about it,” he said.

“If I need nuts and bolts I go to the tool shop in Lava Street. And he looks at me and says ‘is that for the toy library?’ I say ‘yeah’ and he says ‘you’ll be right.’”

Warrnambool Mayor Ben Blain thanked Bruce for helping to bring smiles to some of the city’s youngest residents.

“The toy library does an absolutely phenomenal job. It’s such a great organisation that does so much good for the community,” he said.

“And now Bruce is a big part of that.

“From an environmental perspective, his ingenuity has kept things working that otherwise would have had to be thrown away.

“And financially, every toy that Bruce fixes is one more toy that

WITH a shortage of doctors one of the biggest issues facing many communities, Dr Barry Morphett has worked tirelessly to attract, train and retain medical professionals in Warrnambool.

Dr Morphett moved to Warrnambool with his young family in 1984 to work as a physician and gastroenterologist.

But it was his role in helping to establish Deakin University’s medical training presence in Warrnambool, including the clinical school based at South West Healthcare, that has seen him recognised as the 2026 Warrnambool Citizen of the Year.

For many years, Warrnambool has been a key training site for Deakin medical students during their clinical years, and more recently has supported a pathway for some students to complete all four years of their medical degree in a rural setting.

Dr Morphett said the long-term goal had always been to encourage as many graduates as possible to return and work in the region.

“Over the course of time, we’ve had somewhere between 250 and 300 people graduate, and what we’ve tried to do is to get as many as possible back into the local scene,” he said.

“Some of those people now are on the staff for the clinical school. So they’re involved in teaching students, whereas five or ten years ago they were students themselves.

“If you took all of our graduates out of the Warrnambool medical scene, there’d be a mighty big hole.”

Dr Morphett said the program’s strength wasn’t just the quality of training, but the way students became part of the Warrnambool community.

“The general community, they engage

doesn’t need to be replaced.

“As someone who has retired, it’s so great to see Bruce continuing to use the valuable skills he’s gained over his

with them. The students live in houses scattered throughout Warrnambool. We didn’t want them to be in an enclave,” he said.

“The number of people who tell me that they met up with one of my students and how nice they are.”

He said that sense of connection was an important part of encouraging graduates to stay and work locally.

“There’s a cohort of 30 students that are from the area, they’re doing their years one to four in Warrnambool, and we’re hopeful that by having them embedded into the local medical scene early, that they will stay,” he said.

“In 2026, there are six or seven of our graduates who have gone to the Base Hospital, and we’re hopeful that this will continue to grow.”

Dr Morphett said the success of the Warrnambool program was built on the support of many organisations and individuals working together.

“Whilst I get all the kudos for setting it up, it wasn’t just me and we had a core group from the start,” he said.

“And in the community, everyone is willing to help, even though they’re really busy.

“The support that we’ve had from everybody in the medical environment has been absolutely off the charts.”

Dr Morphett thanked his wife Sharyn for her support over the years.

“My dear wife has taken the brunt of me having to do a lot of on-call stuff, you might be away all night, or have a disrupted weekend, so she’s been fantastic and super supportive.”

Warrnambool mayor Cr Ben Blain said

Dr Morphett had become one of the city’s proudest ambassadors.

“Warrnambool is the medical hub for south-west Victoria, serving a population of more than 100,000 people,” he said.

lifetime for the betterment of the community.

“His work also puts odd screws and pieces of timber he’s accumulated over the years to

good use, reinforcing the belief held by many that these things should never be thrown away. You never know when you might need them.”

Medical mentor Citizen of the Year

“We’ve got the best of both worlds. A major regional health service and a lifestyle where everything is close by.

“That’s what makes it such a great place to train and keep skilled medical professionals.

“This program has been such a massive success. It’s a big win for residents, for local health services and for the long-term health of our community.

“And it wouldn’t have been anywhere near as successful as it has been without the dedication of Dr Morphett and the team over many years.

“His enthusiasm for medicine, for education and for Warrnambool is infectious, and I’m very proud to call him our Warrnambool Citizen of the Year.”

SALEYARD REPORT

As a result of extreme heat and total fire bans, Hamilton agents yarded 3,800 lambs which is 9,800 fewer than last week’s offering.

The quality of the yarding was excellent with 85% of the lambs shorn and showing a very good finish.

Very few lambs suitable to return to the paddock were available.

All regular buyers were present although not all were active and the market was slightly softer particularly for heavy weights 26 kg and over.

In contrast the very neat shorn 23 to 25 kg trade lambs generally remained firm.

New season shorn lambs to the trade averaged between 1,040

and 1,100c/kg cwt while heavy weights made around 1,000c/kg cwt and topped at $291/head.

There was very strong feeder competition however, there was no restocker competition on the lighter lambs.

These lighter types generally made between $158 and $265/head remaining firm.

New season light lambs 12 to 17 kg sold from $160 to $200/head while trade lambs weighing 18 to 22 kg made $210 to $245/head.

Lambs in the 22 to 26 kg range sold from $230 to $279 and the heavier export lambs ranged from $279 to a top of $291/head.

Rounding out the podium was Lockie McHugh in second place, with Brock Hallett taking third.

The 2026 Classic lived up to all the hype, providing Sprintcar enthusiasts of all ages an event that will be long remembered for its adrenaline-filled burnouts, close racing, spectacular crashes, high speed wall mounts, and even the landing of a helicopter.

Club president Rik Stewart said

And adding to the excitement of night three of the Classic, Premier Speedway president Rik Stewart announced The Flying Horse Bar & Brewery had extended its naming rights partnership with the event, with the 2027 and 2028 editions set to pay a whopping $75,000 and $100,000 to win respectively.

Gent to lead Warrnambool Basketball

GREG Gent has been appointed administration and operations manager of Warrnambool Basketball. The club recently announced Gent’s appointment, bringing excitement and enthusiasm to the club and its supporters across the district.

Gent is no stranger to the association, having a connection that stems many years.

He began his involvement as a player, both domestically and with the Seahawks in the 90s, at the Tin House. Today, he remains involved as a domestic coach and an avid supporter of the club’s Big V Teams.

He is also a squad parent, proudly following

the basketball journey of his son Tom – and is even back on the court himself, competing in the men’s domestic competition.

With a genuine passion for the club, extensive management experience, and a fresh, positive vision for the future, the club said it was “absolutely thrilled” to welcome Greg into the role this season.

Past premierships celebrated

WHILE the heat may have seen play abandoned at the Purnim cricket club last weekend, there was still plenty to celebrate for those who gathered for what was a very special reunion.

The club last Saturday celebrated its 40 year premiership successes from their former Grassmere Cricket Association days.

During the 1985-86 season, Purnim dominated taking out both the end of season A Grade premiership plus the 50 over one-day Brian O’Halloran Cup competition.

The A grade match saw Purnim 378 defeat Woodford 116.

On that day, captain Garry Butters made 120, Rodger Henderson 71 and Henry Askew 57.

With the ball David ‘Mouse’ McLean took 5-30 and Mick McKinnon 3-37 to bowl Purnim to victory.

In the one day grand final, Purnim 9-212 with David McLean making 92 defeated Woodford 197.

Purnim Cricket Club spokesperson Rodger Henderson said it was great to catch up with former players and supporters to celebrate being premiers in both formats from 40 years ago.

“We have lost Graeme ‘Titch’ MacKay and a couple of now interstate based players couldn’t make it back, and unfortunately there was no cricket possible due to the heat but it still was a fantastic day,” Henderson said.

“Not just for the team members but the old supporters who came along to reminisce as well.”

Northern Raiders Cricket Club president, Trevor Dowd, said acknowledging past history via the Purnim and Grassmere foundations was an importance fabric of the Raiders.
