A large number of residents gathered outside
the mobile library last week to protest against
the removal of the service and the lack of
consultation in the decision making.
At Tuesday night’s Council meeting (27.8.13) it
was resolved that:

The Goldfields Corporation mobile library
will continue to visit till the end of the year

The Guerrilla Library will continue its
service to the Shire except for Flynn Ward

A community engagement plan will be
commenced as follows:
LIBRARY BUS WOES
Council continues to regard the replacement of
the Goldfields Corporation mobile library by the
Guerrilla Library as enhancing library services in
Dunolly, Moliagul and Bealiba.
A public meeting to establish an action group
with the purpose of retaining the current mobile
library service in the long term will be held on
Monday, 2 September 2013 in the Dunolly Town
Hall at 5.30pm. People wishing to contribute to
the group must not only be passionate but be
able to give quality time to research issues.
MDC
Oh my goodness, dearie me!
Just how silly can you be?
To take away our library
And replace it with a Mercedes (van)
Cranky people left and right
Left the Town Hall Monday night
Felt democracy was shot
Consultation there was not!
Beware oh Goldfields Shire
Dunolly stands united!
Give us back our libr’y bus
And save a heap of fuss.

THE WELCOME RECORD
SPRING DOMESTIC FIREWOOD
COLLECTION SEASON OPENS
The Spring 2013 Firewood Collection Season will
open across Victoria at the beginning of next
month on Sunday 1/9/13.
Department of Environment and Primary
Industries (DEPI) Statewide Land and Fire
Coordinator Rob Price said:
“We want to remind people that, from 1
September 2013, designated firewood collection
areas will open after being closed during winter.”
“Once these sites are open it will be legal for
people to collect firewood for domestic use on
public land until the Spring Firewood Collection
Season ends on 30 November 2013,” Mr Price
said.
“Anyone wanting to collect firewood during the
Spring Firewood Collection Season should be
aware that designated firewood collection areas
may be closed for various reasons including
because the supply in that area has already been
exhausted, fire danger, flooding and other
conditions determining safe access to tracks and
forest.”
“Access to parks and state forests for firewood
collection in some parts of Victoria will be subject
to flooding and wet weather conditions. Access to
Barmah National Park is currently closed. People
are advised to check the DEPI website to see
what’s open before they travel.”
Special conditions are in place for the collection
of sawlog residue from some former logging
coupes as a source of domestic firewood in
designated parts of the Barmah National Park.
To ensure the sustainability of supply, collection
in Barmah National Park is restricted to residents
of the shires of Campaspe and Moira, the City of
Greater Shepparton, and the Yorta Yorta people.
DEPI and Parks Victoria staff will be patrolling
parks, forests and reserves to ensure people are
doing the right thing.
Firewood collection is only permitted during

MISPRINTS AND BLOOPERS
I’ve been collecting misprints and other strange
things that sometimes appear in print for many
years. I hope these will amuse you too.
OLDER DRIVERS
Lies, more lies and damned statistics. For
example, Look at the lifespan of drivers aged
65 to 80, a span of 15 years, for example and
we have 15 years. Let’s have a break down of
fatal accidents for each of these years, then we
can per year of age over that age group and
then we can give some credence to the findings
about driver deaths.
If the writer was cross when he wrote this,
imagine his state of mind when this was printed
in The Age on 21.3.98!

THE WELCOME RECORD
Letter from ex-Cr John Smith to Councillors
To Crs. Rinaldi (Mayor), Lovett, Nixon, McIvor,
Van Beveren and Robertson.
Dear Councillors.
I read the report from Sharon Fraser, General
Manager,
Go
Goldfields,
regarding
the
replacement of the current Goldfields Library
Corporation mobile library service bus with a
Mercedes van accommodating 2000 books
compared to our present service of 9000 books
and ancillary facilities. The report by Sharon must
have been written during a moment of delusion
and for Council to accept such a report shows
that Council has lost its way in not consulting with
the community prior to even considering,
depriving the residents of Flynn Ward of our
excellent library facility.
I urge that Council immediately resolve to retain
our current library service, as I am sure there are
going to be serious repercussions’ for Council’s
reputation of being a caring and representative
Body.
Yours faithfully. Ex Cr John Smith
Dear Editor,
The Go Goldfields aims and plans were
reproduced on the cover of The Welcome
Record. We have read it three times and still fail
to understand. We went to the website and
found the exact same text, which we studied but
remain ignorant. There is a lot more on the
website but we gave up trying to decode what
was written. We also checked the date – no, it is
not April 1 therefore not some sort of joke. We
must be examples of the illiterate and ignorant
citizens that these paid, unelected and superior
people seek to take into their care. We envy
these fortunate people who know everything;
their vast knowledge and wisdom to solve
complex social problems removes any need to
talk to us peasants.
We paused for lunch before reading Go
Goldfields again. No, we still have no idea what
it means. If literacy is about communication then
the Go Goldfields text has mostly failed. We do
recognise when we are about to be “done over”.
Good communication is passing on information
so the receiver understands. The use of
numerous fancy words and phrases is not
clever, educated or literate, because any
message is guaranteed to be “lost in
translation”.
This problem is treatable but we urge urgent
remedial action. The Plain English Foundation
has helped many organisations suffering from
Vol 28 Iss 29
Page 3
this condition – there is hope. https://
www.plainenglishfoundation.com
The problem that does not seem treatable is the
periodic and repeated outbreaks of intellectual
arrogance such as this mobile library debacle.
Such epidemics tend to cure themselves and
finally go away, but it is always expensive.

Dear Editor,
Library Bus
I would urge anyone who is not already a
member of our library service to join. It is a
fabulous service and community resource and
we don’t want to lose it.
I personally look forward to the bus’ arrival each
week to choose from the thriller, fiction, art
books and DVD’s. However there is a wide
range of items to suit every taste and age,
Please support our Bus.

To Bob Henderson,
I would like to congratulate you on being
elected Councillor, for the Flynn Ward, of the
Central Goldfields Shire Council. I wish you
every success as you fulfil your position of
Councillor and I trust everyone gets behind you
to help make our Ward a better place, I most
certainly offer you any assistance I can provide
to assist you fulfilling your Role in Representing
the Residents of our Ward.
Yours sincerely,
Ex Cr. John Smith, Dunolly
THANK YOU
Firstly I would like to thank my family for their
support, especially my wife, Shane. Secondly I
would like to thank the people of Flynn Ward
who voted for me; I will do my best to work in
your best interests and to be available for any
problems you may have.
It would be remiss of me not to thank my
friends who have encouraged and supported
me; it was greatly appreciated. Also I would like
to offer my best wishes to Judy Meldrum who
was a formidable opponent. Now that the Election is over, perhaps we can all work together to
get our Region what it justly deserves. Once
again, thank you to all.

THE WELCOME RECORD
Dear Editor,
Not only did Her Majesty Queen Victoria turn in
her mausoleum at the news that our mobile
library was under threat, but she actually
appeared among us at our rally on Thursday last.
She gave encouragement to the populace and
remarked, ‘See to it, my friends. Persistence and
pep will surely bring victory’. Glowering, she
declared, ‘That such an egregious plan would
have been devised in the State that bears my
name!’
Recovering her composure, Her Majesty
continued, “Turning to the young for a moment,
we are all cognisant of the sage’s advice, ‘As the
twig is bent so the tree will grow.’”
‘Your magical library on wheels contains riches
which, when exploited wisely, will help develop
young minds to the full. The young, with reading
as a stimulus to growth and with a goodly
measure of joy and parental guidance, will each
become as straight and strong as a carefullytended tree.’
‘However, the library contains not only the written
word, but, as we are reliably informed, something
called “electronic wizardry” is therein. We are
also informed that, in this case, children teach
their elders’.
‘Prince Albert and myself were blessed with a
divine brood of nine and it was our pleasure to
observe how they appreciated well-written
literature. Indeed, without false modesty, we
claim to be something of an authority on reading
and development. One especial matter we have
recognised is the mutual help with reading
existing in a group’.
Her Majesty then apologised for expatiating so
much on the subject of the young and said, ‘We
do tend to go on…..’ She said that by the very
large numbers of men and women protesting last
week (children were still at school) their literary
needs were very pressing, and it was obvious
why the mobile library stocked so many
thousands of books. These were many and
various with books on crime, science fiction,
fantasy, biographies, sport and so on.
She went on, ‘Two purposes are served by adult
reading in addition to self-development which are
to experience vicariously any number of activities
and secondly, to set an example to the young.
This example will bear fruit when he or she
becomes adult and then reads as an adult with
all the richness this brings’.
Her Majesty said she and Prince Albert had
necessarily spent so much time on affairs of state
there had been little opportunity to read as the
common man and woman had done. She spoke
of the volumes of documents it had been
necessary to peruse ‘and there were always the
boxes to attend to – and my diaries took time
every day’.
28 August 2013
With a regal wave Her Majesty wished us
‘farewell’ and disappeared from view.
The Letters of Queen Victoria should provide
insights into the royal life of Her Majesty.

BOOK REVIEW
‘Downfall: How the Labor Party ripped itself
apart’, written by Aaron Patrick and published
by Harper Collins 2013.
This book is mainly concerned with events
during the period 2007 to 2013 and ends before
Kevin Rudd becomes Prime Minister for the
second time. The author deals with the alleged
corruption by the Obeid family, which is still
going through the courts, and most of the
material concerning the Obeid family has been
sourced from the New South Wales
Independent Commission Against Corruption.
‘I believe that the targets of civil and criminal
investigations are entitled to the presumption of
innocence and have not concluded that any
person named in this book broke the law.’
Aaron Patrick, p.317.
The author was formerly a business reporter for
the Wall Street Journal in London, and is now a
senior editor with the Australian Financial
Review. Aaron Patrick was a member of the
Labor Party from the age of sixteen to twentyone and belonged to Bill Shorten’s Young
Labor. Bill Shorten is often mentioned during
the book and the author seems to believe that
he will eventually be the leader of the Labor
Party.
The difficulties experienced by Kathy Jackson,
the Secretary of the Health Services Union and
whistleblower, are also documented here and
make very interesting reading. As the author
says in his note at the back of the book: the
press has covered most of the events
mentioned, and newspaper reports were an
important source of information, he also
attempted
to
verify
the
information
independently. That said, I found the detail set
out in the book fascinating especially the events
in New South Wales which perhaps I hadn’t
followed as closely as the Canberra and
Victorian proceedings.
Happy reading, Coral Christensen

I don’t know which paper this was printed in on
13 January 1986 – or who it was about – but
they sure grew tall in Perth.
The greatest influence was his father, Neville,
who won the Perth District bowling average in
his prime. His father is 183 centimetres, his
mother, Barbara, 173 centimetres, his sister and

Dear Editor,
Best wishes to Marion Da Costa on her
retirement as editor of The Welcome Record

Mindfulness is simply a method of mental

COUNCIL RESPONDS TO
COMMUNITY’S CONCERNS
Planned changes to the Dunolly, Bealiba and
Moliagul mobile library service has caused great
concern in the community. In response, Central
Goldfields Shire Council will review library
services at the end of 2013, in order to gather
feedback and input from residents.
Council has developed a Guerrilla Library Van, a
service that will enhance the existing library
service by offering exciting elements such as pop
up libraries, which can appear at any community
event. The new service will be delivered through
the Maryborough Library, which works closely
with other service providers, such as maternal
and child health nurses, to ensure there is
increased accessibility to library services
throughout the Shire. The proposal was
communicated to the affected community at a
public meeting on Monday, 19 August. The
community has responded by saying it was not
adequately consulted about the proposal.
“We have heard the community, and we are
responding as requested,” said Central
Goldfields Shire Mayor, Councillor Barry Rinaldi.
“The community wants the opportunity to have its
say, and so Council will conduct a review at the
end of the year, following a series of community
engagement activities.”
General Manager Go Goldfields, Sharon Fraser,
said the extra time will provide the opportunity to
clarify the situation and highlight the many
enhancements of the new service.
“The Guerrilla Library Van includes access to
more books overall; it will be easier to borrow
and return books; children’s services such as
Story Time and Baby Rhyme Time will now be
offered in the towns: and the library service will
be offered more often and in more locations.
“What’s important to know is that the Guerrilla
Library approach is not about removing the
mobile library service, but enhancing access to
library services in Dunolly and across the Shire,”
said Ms Fraser.
Over the next few months, Council will advertise
opportunities for concerned community members
to provide their input on the planned changes.
Councillor Rinaldi reminds residents there is an
appropriate method for responding to Council.
Council will be publishing a question and
answers regarding library services in next
Tuesday’s Maryborough Advertiser and on
Council’s website.
For the remainder of 2013, the community will be
able to experience the Guerrilla Library Van as a
pop up service at various events, while also
being able to access the current mobile library
service.

LIONS CLUB SUPPORTS
PRE-SCHOOL
The Dunolly Pre-school parent committee and
families have been very busy this year with
organising several fundraising events. Being a
small rural kinder, we rely heavily on the
families and the community for support.
The Pre-school staff, committee and families,
would like to thank the community for their ongoing support, which was evident with the
number of people who attended our “Girls Night
Out” in May this year and then, just recently, our
“Bloke’s Night”. Both fundraisers were fun;
provided a great opportunity to catch up with
friends while raising some much needed funds
for the Pre-school.

attended the presentation night on behalf of the

DUNOLLY BRANCH CWA
The last meeting was on 7 August before the
International Day festivities. The two most
important things for discussion were the Postie
Fashion Show on 4 September at the Senior
Citizens Rooms at 1.30pm; and the Car Boot
Sale on 4 September. Members are reminded
that quite a lot of cooking will be needed to
cover both events – afternoon tea for the
Parade and stall cooking for the Sale. Anyone
who would like to help will be very welcome.
There will be a meet raffle for a $50 voucher
from Dunolly Meats at the Sale. Members are
asked to bring a small wrapped gift for use as
part of the door prizes at the Parade – there will
be a main raffle too of course. Come to the
Parade and bring a friend or three! Meeting at
11am at Senior Citizens – BYO lunch.
Heather
and
Rosemary
travelled
to
Castlemaine on 22 August for the Half Yearly
Conference. The venue at the footy club rooms
was easy to find – turn left at the first lights and
there it was! This was new Group President’s
Ayron Teed’s first conference and it went off
very smoothly.
As well as the Association and Group business,
there were two excellent speakers on the
subject of Family Violence. They were LSC
Margaret Singe, the Bendigo Police Family
Officer, and Cate Moloney, Manager of
Women’s and Children’s Services Loddon and
Campaspe Centre for non-violence in Bendigo.
Between them they explained the connection
between police, the Centre and those seeking
help and shelter. It gave an insight into a very
different world.
Alison Nye from Castlemaine CWA explained
that the knitted squares members sent to
Conference will be joined to make large warm
shawls to be given to victims of violence to wrap
themselves and their children in, as some flee
their homes with nothing.
A stand-up comedienne member, Alvis Eddy
from Echuca, lightened the mood somewhat
with a witty look at life.
Subscriptions are $56.50 this year and due by
the October meeting.
The competitions for September are a hat or
parasol and the usual flowers.
See you all at the next meeting.

Development Peter Ryan, Mr Drum said funding
allocated through the $1 billion Regional Growth
Fund will be used to promote and stage the four
-day festival. It will feature impressive theatre
and arts performances, a grand parade through
Dunolly’s main street and a country fair-style
puppet show.
“The festival is fast becoming the headline act
in Dunolly’s calendar, with the whole district
throwing their support into planning, rehearsing
and preparing for this highly-anticipated event,”
Mr Drum said.
“The town’s inaugural Gilbert and Sullivan
festival in 2012 was a huge success, attracting
870 people and transporting visitors back to the
late Victorian era when Dunolly was a booming
Goldfields town.
“This year the event is expected to be bigger
and better, attracting visitors and contributing
significantly to the promotion of tourism in the
region.”
Mr Ryan said the event will generate flow-on
benefits for local businesses and the economy.
“It will stimulate the local economy, supporting
local café, shop and B&B owners who will cater
to the increased tourism demand during the
festivities.
“The event will also enhance performance
spaces at the Dunolly Town Hall and Court
House, opening up the historical significance of
these iconic buildings to a whole new
audience.”
The $6,000 in Coalition Government funding
towards the $33,550 project will be provided
through the Putting Locals First program – a
component of the $1 billion Regional Growth
Fund.
“The Putting Locals First program is a $100
million initiative that supports local project
development and planning to improve the lives
of regional Victorians,” he said.

Historical and Arts Society Inc
CHINESE CAMP, DUNOLLY
The Chinese Camp at Dunolly was in Thompson
St on the south side of the railway line opposite
the Terminus Hotel. There are no known maps
showing its location so we rely on descriptions
from the newspapers and Borough of Dunolly
records. One council record states there were 11
huts with 50 occupants.
There was a narrow north south laneway with
several huts on either side. Facing Thompson St
was the large store of Sim Cum Yuen. He also
acted as an interpreter in the Dunolly Court. His
nephew Wong Ying came to Australia in 1862
and worked for him. Wong Ying invested well in
local mines. A shipping receipt in his name is
held in the Dunolly Museum. It shows that in
December 1875 he sent back to his family in
China a box of gold and 1,000 sovereigns. A
fortune in those days. Wong Ying eventually took
over the Terminus Hotel his family operating it
until it closed in 1956. At the Terminus Hotel
there was (and still is?) a display cabinet that had
been in Sim Cum Yuen’s store.
Amongst the huts at the Chinese camp were
several businesses. One of these was a
butcher’s shop run by Ah Lem. He kept pigs and
slaughtered them on site. The waste was running
into the Municipal Dam (renamed Station Dam
and now part of the caravan park). When the
railway was built the Chinese then had to dig
drains to direct the waste towards Burnt Creek.
The camp also included a Joss House situated at
the eastern end. In 1880 Mow Sow was in charge
of it.
In 1869 the police raided a gambling den at the
Chinese Camp. The weatherboard building had
trap doors between the studs at the bottom of the
back wall. This allowed several to escape before
the police realised. They were playing fan tan
with English money. Ah Cham was charged with
being the croupier and fined £5 or three weeks
gaol. Ah Hoy and Larry Wron were also arrested
and fined a mere 1/- for being in a gaming house.
Lim Kin had a brothel and opium den here from
1868 or earlier until it was closed down in 1869.
He was charged with keeping a disorderly house.
Lim Kin had three prostitutes there, Jenny, Bella
and Kate. They ate and slept at the house. He
also sold opium but only on the condition it was
smoked inside the building with the girls. The
men mentioned as being in the building at the
time were Ah Wing, William Sim Cooey, Ah Hee,
Vol 28 Iss 29 Page 11
Ah Ah, One Tip and She Key. One Tip admitted
he slept with a girl and still owed Lim Kin four
shillings. Lim Kin was found guilty of keeping a
disorderly house and sentenced to 14 days
imprisonment. It was a light sentence as he had
previously been a police informer. After the
newspaper wrote that he was a police informer it
might have made it difficult for him to remain in
Dunolly.
At the camp in 1875 Fook Long was charged with
keeping a house frequented by women without
any lawful means of support. These were two
young women Mary Creelman and Selina
Lawrence. The constable stated that several
youths were in the habit of nightly frequenting
this den. This was not seen as sufficient
evidence for a conviction so he was let off.
In 1878 Ah Muck was charged with keeping a
disorderly house at the Chinese Camp. He got
word of the warrant and took off but was arrested
in Maldon and brought back to Dunolly. Ah Muck
also sold grog and opium. One of the witnesses a
Catherine Savage said she had known Ah Muck
for about five years and did the washing for him
and his girls. They did embroidery and sewing.
She also said that the house was frequented by
both men and women. He was found guilty of
keeping a disorderly house and given 12 months
imprisonment with hard labour.
One of the women at Ah Muck’s was Agnes
Abernethy. She previously had an illegitimate son
John Archibald Phelps, the father being John
Phelps of Inglewood. Agnes was addicted to
opium and unable to properly look after her son.
She sold the boy for an undisclosed amount to a
Chinese man named Ah Hang or Ah Hong. She
had Lamont, a solicitor in Inglewood, write up an
agreement making him the boy’s legal guardian.
Ah Hong then sold the boy to another Chinese
man named Hock Tarn. Hock Tarn purchased a
ticket on a steamship bound for Hong Kong.
When the ship docked at Brisbane some of the
passengers alerted the police about a Chinese
man travelling with white children. These were a
13 year old girl and the two year old John
Archibald Phelps. John Archibald Phelps was
taken off him and sent to the Diamantina
Orphanage in Brisbane. The girl stated that Hock
Tarn was her father. The police having no proof
otherwise had to accept this. As such no offence
had been committed so they were allowed to
remain on the ship and continue for Hong Kong.
Was the girl telling the truth? She would have
known that if she’d said anything else she would
also have ended up in the orphanage. The
Brisbane Telegraph speculated that on arrival in
Hong Kong this girl would be taken into China
where she could be sold for as much as 200
guineas.

The Chinese Camp near the railway was the
main camp in Dunolly. There were other minor
camps near the Dunolly School and at Hard Hill
and Gooseberry Hill. The Chinese Camp at Burnt
Creek was one of the largest in Victoria with
about 2,000 there in 1861. Other camps were
also at Bealiba, Moliagul and Tarnagulla.
William Shung Cooey was the Chinese doctor at
Burnt Creek. He was also a fortune teller. He
would come to the camp at Dunolly and see
patients. He would also buy and smoke opium at
Lim Kin’s brothel. It was not recorded whether he
was with the patients before or after the opium.
In February 1900 a fire at the Dunolly Chinese
camp destroyed on one side of the street some
four or five huts. Over the years the remaining
huts slowly either fell down or were demolished
as their occupants died. Now nothing remains
with most of the former camp being under the
access road to the silos.

MARYBOROUGH DISTRICT
HEALTH SERVICE’S DUNOLLY
CAMPUS KITCHEN TO GET A
SIGNIFICANT
REFURBISHMENT
Thanks to funding received from the Victorian
Government’s Rural Capital Support Fund of
$53,540 the kitchen at Maryborough District
Health Service’s (MDHS) Dunolly campus is
about to be refurbished.
Heidi Hine, Food Services Project Manager,
said that the funds will be used wisely to ensure
that the refit and upgrade of the kitchen is cost
effective.
Refurbishment to the kitchen includes a new
oven, shelving, flooring and an additional
freezer. After a coat of paint, Theresa
Hutchinson, Dunolly’s cook, won’t know that
she is working in the same kitchen!
For Theresa the most important aspect of her
work is cooking meals that are nutritious and
appetizing and take into account the individual
tastes of the residents.
“I love cooking for the residents and it gives me
great pleasure to know that I am able to
produce home cooked meals that are healthy
and thoroughly enjoyed by the residents,”
Theresa said.
Theresa is certainly looking forward to the
completion of the refurbished kitchen.
“The refurbishment will take place over a three
week period and during that short space of time
main meals will be delivered from our
Maryborough campus kitchen,” Heidi said.
Prior to the commencement of the renovations
at the start of September, a trial run has been
taking place to ensure that residents will get
their meals on time.
“Theresa has been working with kitchen staff at
Maryborough to work through any issues in
regard to delivery. In this way we can be certain
that the meals arrive and are delivered in prime
condition,” Heidi said.
Chief Executive, Glenis Beaumont, said that the
organisation was very grateful for the funding.
“The Dunolly kitchen is old and looking very
tired. It was time for it to be renovated. This has
been made possible through Victorian
Government funding. I feel confident that when
it reopens, the residents of the Dunolly nursing
home will be delighted that Theresa is able to
work in excellent conditions that meet all the
relevant standards.” Ms Beaumont said.

marsala when using in desserts. If you have an
espresso machine, make 180ml of short black
coffee instead of using instant.

VITAL HABITAT ILLEGALLY
REMOVED ON PRIVATE
PROPERTY
A Mt Hooghly farmer has faced the
Maryborough Magistrates Court this week for
the illegal removal of 21 large, old eucalypt
trees from his property.
The man received an aggregate fine of $20,000,
with conviction, and was ordered to pay the
Council’s costs of $5116 and the Department of
Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI)
costs of $194. A stay of six months was given in
which to pay these amounts.
The court heard that in July 2012, the man
engaged a contractor to remove the trees
without a planning permit, some of which were
estimated to be between 200 and 400-yearsold. The matter was jointly prosecuted by DEPI
and Central Goldfields Shire Council.
DEPI’s Senior Biodiversity Officer, Peter
28 August 2013
Johnson, said: “These are serious offences as
the hollows in these old trees cannot be
instantly replaced for wildlife in the area. There
is a number of unique species which are totally
or largely restricted to temperate woodland
habitat in Victoria.”
“A number of these are threatened species that
are dependent on hollow-bearing trees, and are
particularly vulnerable to this type of impact. In
addition to the direct loss of habitat, the loss of
connectivity with other patches of trees was
also a notable observation in this case.”
“Many birds species also need the protection
and shelter of trees to move unhindered
between food resources.”
“Hollows in trees can be defined as small
fissures or cracks in which species of MicroBats, Yellow-footed Antechinus, Sugar Glider or
Brush-tailed Phascogale can seek refuge or
gather beetles, spiders and a range of other
food items. Larger, visible hollows are often
used for shelter during breeding periods. Many
bird species also use hollows for shelter or
breeding.”
Central Goldfields Shire Council’s General
Manager Technical Services, David Sutcliffe,
said: "Council has regulations and processes in
place to protect our environment and also
community members. The outcome of this case
is likely to provide a deterrent to illegal clearing
for some time."
"If anyone in the Shire is unsure of Council's
processes
and
regulations,
they
are
encouraged to contact us before they act. Our
staff are more than happy to assist, and this will
prevent events such as this from occurring."
The man faced a charge under section 126(2)
of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 for
using land in contravention of the Central
Goldfields Planning Scheme, which states that
"a permit is required to remove, destroy or lop
native vegetation, including dead vegetation."
Charges were also laid under regulation 9(1) of
the Wildlife Regulations 2002 for wilfully
destroying wildlife habitat.

Road users in Wannon will benefit from the
Coalition’s plan to spend $300 million across
Australia on a Bridges Renewal Program, said
Dan Tehan, the Member for Wannon today.
“There are many timber bridges across Wannon
which could be upgraded or replaced under this
program, which will match funds provided by
local councils and the state government,” said Mr
Tehan.
“There are about 30,000 old timber bridges
across Australia that urgently need fixing. This
program helps local councils identify and fund the
bridges that really need the work, and we’ll
support them and the state government on a
dollar for dollar basis.
“Local and state governments are dealing with
many bridges, in some cases hundreds in each
electorate, that urgently need extensive
maintenance. We want to assist them and the
people of Wannon who rely on these bridges to
travel to work and school.
“Due to many bridges being in a state of
disrepair, some of them have a load limit which is
inconvenient for motorists, very inefficient for
farmers and other industries and a risk during fire
season.
“This Bridges Renewal Program follows on from
the Coalition’s commitment to the Roads to
Recovery program, an incredible success in
rebuilding and upgrading local roads around the
country.
“If elected on 7 September, I will be working with
local councils and the Victorian state government
to identify the bridges that should be funded
under this important program,” said Mr Tehan.

Nature’s finest on show
Next Friday, 30 August marks the beginning of
the fourth annual Naturally Loddon Festival – a
time to celebrate the many faces of Nature
around us. Filling five weeks last year, the 2013
program spans eight weeks, running through until
27 October with a total of 20 events spread
around the Shire.
New this year are overnight and day canoe trips
on the Loddon River, a revived Blue Eucy
Heritage Festival at Inglewood, a bike tour
around Wedderburn, a New Age market day at
Wedderburn and the annual meeting of the
Prospectors and Miners Association of Victoria,
featuring an auction of prospecting items, a
barbecue and tips from the experts on gold
detecting. Another “first’ is the addition of the
Bridgewater Wool, Wheat and Wine Festival on
Sunday 20 October, boasting sheep shearing, a
“sheep toss” and sheep races, children’s novelty
events and more.
Popular events from previous years set to return
include photographic displays, field trips, the
Kooyoora Wildflower Show, bird-watching, the
Terrick Terrick National Park open weekend,
Tarnagulla’s family day and bus tours to Loddon
Plains and the Boort wetlands.
First up this year is a photographic exhibition at
Mulwarrie Studios in Bridgewater, entitled Water,
Land and Sky. That display – pictures of classic
landscapes of rural Australia with a special
section devoted to the Loddon region – runs

Bookings for the trip cost of $30 and can be

Loddon program, which is organised by the
Nature Tourism Festival group in conjunction with
Council’s Tourism Department, is aimed at all
age groups. Copies are available at tourist and

Loddon Visitor Information Centre on 5494 3489
or by visiting www.loddon.vic.gov.au
Road repairs planned
More good news for the Shire arrived last week
with the announcement by Member for Swan Hill
Peter Walsh of funding of $147,000 for repair
work on the Bridgewater-Serpentine Road.
The work will be carried out on a section of the
road just south of the Loddon River Bridge near
the Loddon West Road. It will involve ripping up
the existing deteriorated road surface, stabilising
and re-sheeting it. The grant is part of a $170
million state government road repair package to
be delivered across three years. The contract, to
be managed by VicRoads, is expected to be
Vol 28 Iss 29 Page 19
awarded within the next few months.
Volunteers’ thank-you
This Wednesday is National Meals on Wheels
Day and Loddon’s volunteers are certainly not
being forgotten. Council will host a morning tea at
The Coffee Bank in Pyramid Hill on Wednesday
and an afternoon tea at the Cup and Saucer in
Boort on Friday to thank volunteers and I plan to
attend both.
National Meals on Wheels Day is celebrated on
the last Wednesday in August each year to
recognise the work of the organisation’s 78,700
volunteers in more than 740 branches around the
country. For any inquiries about these functions,
please phone Dani Kline or Kylie Jones on 5437
7999.
Be clear on new fire levy
Shire rates notices started arriving in residents’
letterboxes last week. Alongside the usual
municipal charges, ratepayers will notice the
addition of the Victorian Fire Services Property
Levy (FSPL), which came into effect on 1 July.
The State government now requires councils to
collect this levy on its behalf, which helps pay for
metropolitan and regional fire services.
Several ratepayers have got the impression that
paying the levy means their house is
automatically insured, but this is not the case. All
house and contents insurances need to be
arranged separately.
For any rate enquiries, please phone Council on
5494 1200, but questions on insurance matters
should be directed to the new Fire Services Levy
Monitor on 1300 300 635.
Leagues honour their best
With their seasons now rapidly nearing an end,
both the Loddon Valley Football Netball League
and North Central Football League are looking
forward to their annual presentation functions
over the next week. The North Central league
vote count is on this Wednesday (28 August) at
the St Arnaud Sports Club from 6.30pm. Awards
to be announced include the best and fairest in
three grades, top goal kicker, a rookie prize and
champion club. Tickets to the dinner function,
priced at $20, can be ordered through NCFL
General Manager Lance Standfield on 5494
3878.
The Loddon Valley league holds its vote count
next Sunday (1 September) at the RSL in Long
Gully, Bendigo. Starting at 2pm, the event will
see the announcement of best and fairest awards
in all grades of football and netball, among
others. Tickets, at $15, can be arranged through
Joy Lawry on 5446 3316.

It is simply amazing –the rate that technology is
developing even in our everyday lives. With your

automatically stop recording when the program

Yes it’s all happening so fast but to be able to
keep up we must be on top of the game with our
internet. Now the World Wide Web is probably
bigger than TV, and in just a few short years.
Business is conducted through the internet unlike
anything in the past The NBN is rolling out and
the government of the day is committed to
bringing our broadband up to international
standards. So what is the most unreliable form of
broadband? If you have a wireless USB dongle,
well yes you are at a distinct disadvantage and
that’s being polite. If you are using a 3G wireless
dongle, watch an episode of Get Smart where
Max says “Chief we need to use the ‘cone of
silence’ 3G wireless is today’s broadband
equivalent of the ‘cone of silence’ however 4G is
surprisingly good. Nothing however beats a
cabled connection via ethernet to your PC except
for actual cable internet. Finally there is worthy
competition from Bigpond internet… ADSL
unlimited speed and downloads for only $29 a

speed tests seem positive.

customers will lose their mobile phone service
and will need to switch back to Telstra or find an
alternative. This means less competition and
higher prices on our mobile plans (good news for
investors) unless you choose to go to an Optus

around this area so it seems we are stuck with it.

CAMPFIRE COSTS
MARYBOROUGH MAN $250
A 40 year-old Maryborough man was fined $250
and placed on a six month good behaviour bond
on Friday, 23 August at the Castlemaine
Magistrates Court after pleading guilty to three
offences relating to a campfire. No conviction
was recorded.
The man was charged under the CFA Act 1958
with allowing a fire to remain alight on a day of
Total Fire Ban. He was charged under the Forest
Act 1976 with leaving a campfire unattended and
failing to clear around a campfire for three
metres.
Department of Environment and Primary
Industries (DEPI) Forester in Charge Paul Bates
said the man was camping at Hamilton’s
Crossing on the Loddon River near Baringhup in
January this year.
“The campfire was lit the night before and hadn’t
been totally extinguished on the day of Total Fire
Ban,” Mr Bates said.
“People must be aware of the regulations
because even a smouldering campfire has the
potential to escape and become a bushfire on a
day of Total Fire Ban with high temperatures and
winds.”
The key things to remember when having a
campfire are:

Check restrictions for the area – campfires
are not allowed in some areas of public
land and are prohibited on Total Fire Ban
days.

Always use a purpose built fireplace where
provided.

If there are no restrictions on campfires
and in the absence of a fireplace,
campfires should be lit in a 30 centimetre
trench, with an area of three metre radius
cleared of vegetation and other flammable
materials.

Take care on dry, windy days – if the wind
is strong enough to carry sparks, don’t light
a campfire.

Never leave a campfire unattended.

Keep your campfire just big enough for
cooking and keeping warm.

Put your fire out properly using water, not
soil, even if you are going for a short walk
or a swim.

If your campfire is cool to touch, it is safe
to leave.

THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE OF
SIXTY YEARS
THURSDAY, 22 AUGUST 2013
You have to work at your marriage
Like a gardener in her flowers
And nourish each bed with love
And value the passing hours.
You have to plant for future blooms
Have patience, love and care
Water the paths with tenderness
Give thanks to God in prayer.
You have to work at your marriage
With kindness and zeal
Putting love rings round your hearts
A foundation strong as steel.
Shape your marriage with loving thoughts
Just as the gardener’s do
Then love and peace with happiness
Will surely bloom for you.
Treat marriage vows like tender plants
The bud of loves the branch and vine
They are as fragile as the mists
That lifts above the pine.
Grow your love in the earth of truth
Not in a moving sea
And bound by every loving word
Like between my wife and me.
FATHERS’ DAY
Fathers’ day used to be such fun
You were loved by everyone
Today for me is very sad
You’re the best friend I ever had
Kids loved you and followed you around
You used to throw pennies on the ground
You also told them little jokes
But not like the ones you told to the blokes.
You played the drum in the brass band
You said it was the best in the land
You marched so proud with your big bass drum
Pressed against your big fat tum.
You were lazy around the house
Poor old Mum would always rouse
You always let her chop the wood
You said she did it real good.
You really loved us four kids
And wouldn’t have swapped us for quids
You rode your old bike everywhere
We had no car but you didn’t care.
You bought us lollies and lemonade
My memories of you will never fade
In my heart you will always stay
And to all the fathers ‘a Happy Fathers’ Day’.
Elizabeth Rickards
Then in the distant mists of time
Although we now are old
We love the struggles that now rhyme
Tis sixty years of gold.
The setbacks and the bitter strifes
Are the patient love of years
Are as strong today as our love
The love of sixty years.

BUILDING SKILLS, BUILDING
JOBS
LOOK OUT! DON’T LET THE
EARLY BIRD CATCH YOU
One of the best jobs I’ve had in my time at
Warrnambool’s Emmanuel College was running
the Vocational Education Program for VCE
students during the late nineties.
Every year at Year 11, we’d take in 20 to 25
students for the program, set them up with a
host employer, deliver some training and a
school curriculum as well.
The class would reduce in numbers as kids
would go off to apprenticeships or employment
through Years 11 and 12.
It wasn’t always the most conventional path, it
was the road less travelled, and it got results.
These are ex-students who are now tradies or
running their own businesses or the right hand
man or woman in a local business. The success
of the program was based on building skills and
building employment experience. It was heavily
dependant on motivated kids, effective skills
training and generous host employers.
I have been reminded of those days and the
paramount importance of skills training in the
last week through visits to Cobden Technical
School and Maryborough Education Centre to
congratulate them on being successful in
securing more than $5.4 million in Federal
Government funding to establish Trade Training
Centres in their locations.
Retention of young people in schools through to
completion of the VCE or VCAL or a form of
recognised trade training is critical to creating
the best opportunities for them and critical for
developing and ensuring productivity in our
economy.
That’s why Labor is so focussed on education.
From the School Kids Bonus that helps 1.3
million families, to the Better Schools Plan that
offers guaranteed, increased and transparent
funding for all schools to the Trade Training
Centres in Schools program that will benefit the
Cobden and district and Maryborough
communities.
These commitments reflect Labor’s focus on the
long-term economic and social goals not the
short-sighted reactionary politics of the
Coalition.
Labor’s approach means better opportunities for
our young people, our communities and our
economy. That’s all we want in Wannon and it is
what we deserve in Wannon.
Michael Barling, Labor Candidate for Wannon
The Department of Environment and Primary
Industries (DEPI) is reminding Victorians that
some bird species, including Australian
Magpies (Cracticus tibicen), are already starting
to swoop people as part of their normal
breeding behaviour. DEPI Wildlife Officer
Melanie Plummer said:
“Spring isn’t quite here yet but some magpies,
particularly in Northern Victoria, have begun
protecting their nesting sites by swooping.”
“As the weather starts to warm up birds start
breeding and we want people to keep an eye
out for swooping birds,” Ms Plummer said.
“No-one likes to be swooped by a territorial bird,
but unfortunately this is just normal bird
behaviour and, if possible, the best response is
to keep away from the area.”
“They are swooping to defend their eggs and
young and if they perceive you to be a potential
threat, they may swoop.”
“Some Masked Lapwings (Vanellus miles)
(Spur-winged Plovers) commenced breeding
weeks ago and they are well known for
swooping people who come close to their
nests.”
“Australian Magpies are just starting to swoop
now and that will increase next month.”
“While the best way to avoid being swooped is
to avoid the area all together, this isn’t always
possible. If you do end up in an area where
there is a swooping bird, try to protect your
head and eyes and move quickly through the
area.”
“Whether you live in the city or the bush, we
share our environment with native birds and
people must remember not to harm them
because they are protected under the Wildlife
Act.”
DEPI is encouraging people to notify others in
their local area about swooping birds.
Report a swooping incident by any species of
bird to our Customer Service line (136 186) so it
can provide advice to the community on any
swooping
hotspots
throughout
Victoria.
Reported swooping hotspots will be identified
on Victoria’s Magpie Map.
A ‘Beware, swooping birds in the area’ sign is
also available in the online ‘Swoop Off’ kit to
print from the DEPI website.

SENIOR RESEARCH FELLOW
AT MONASH UNIVERSITY
BOARD OF MANAGEMENT
Senior Research Fellow at Monash University
Bendigo, Dr Bernadette Ward, has recently
joined the Board of Management of
Maryborough District Health Service (MDHS).
Bernadette believes that her tertiary experience
will be really important in progressing the Health
Service to meet the future health challenges of
the community.
“As MDHS already knows strong links between
the Health Service and the tertiary sector play
an important role,” Bernadette said.
“Maryborough is a very interesting, diverse
community and MDHS is delivering programs
that are innovative and person centred. I hope
that I can support MDHS' vision to Grow a
Healthy Community,” she said.
“We are living in an age where technology is
exciting and is making a real difference to the
lives of people who are living in rural isolated
communities. I hope to have input into
considering the ways in which it can assist
consumers and clinicians,” Bernadette said.
With a strong focus on research Bernadette is
optimistic that there will be many opportunities
28 August 2013
to establish important links that are vital as
MDHS plans for future needs of its
communities .
“There is a wealth of strength within the local
community and I hope very much to be able to
support the great work that is coming out of
MDHS,” she said.

Dunolly is going into the finals with their Under
17 football team and Under 13, under 17 and B
and A Grade netball teams.
After all the above teams closed their season
with a win over Carisbrook, Dunolly is ready to
give a some tough games to make it to the next
round of finals.
The Under 13 girls managed to end up 2nd on
the ladder, and will play Avoca in their first
round.
The Under 17 girls had a triumph in a must win
game on the weekend and just managed to get
into the top 8, their determination ability to play
as a team when needed is surely unmatched.
B Grade have been ever improving this year
and with all team members over any injuries,
they are ready to take on Carisbrook again in
the first round of finals.
A Grade will continue their strong presence and
skilled game throughout finals, and are a good
chance to make it very far.
The Under 17 boys are set to win a grand final
for Dunolly, and this week will be their first stepping stone to that accomplishment.
Good luck to everyone in finals and Go Eagles!
