The Victorian Coalition Government is investing
$399,852 from the $1 billion Regional Growth Fund to
rejuvenate the goldrush era town of Dunolly,
Nationals Member for Western Victoria David O’Brien
announced today.
Mr O’Brien said the Streetscape Improvements –
Dunolly project would transform Broadway, the main
thoroughfare of Dunolly.
‘Dunolly sits at the centre of Victoria's historic
goldfields surrounded by stunning ironbark forests,
productive farmland, as well as vineyards and olive
groves,’ Mr O’Brien said.
‘During the gold rush of the 1850s and '60s Dunolly

and the surrounding district was known as the
‘Golden Triangle’, turning up more gold nuggets than
any other region in Australia.
‘This project will redevelop Dunolly’s main street and
return it to its former gold rush beauty.
‘Footpaths and kerbs that have been damaged by tree
roots will be repaired and new street furniture will be
installed. ‘These improvements will encourage the
high volume of passing traffic to stop and visit local
businesses, boosting the local economy.

HERITAGE LISTING
In last week's Welcome Record there was a short item
on the back page saying that the Queen Victoria
monument in the Gordon Gardens was seeking
heritage listing. I wondered who was seeking the
heritage listing on its behalf? The item was not specific
on that point, nor did it mention the other structures
which were also applying for heritage listing. Any
organisation applying for heritage listing for public
structures should make their name public as it
concerns us all.

BARBECUE SAFETY
With the summer rapidly approaching
barbeques are being used more
frequently. At this time of year the fire
services experience an increase in the number of fires
relating to barbeques. The most common causes of
the fires include leaking or loosely fitted gas hoses and
poorly maintained barbeques. There have also been a
number of fires where barbeques have been left
unattended for a period of time.
Before you have a “barbie”  Check the gas cylinder is not damaged and has been
tested within the last ten years.
 Check gas hoses for damage and leaks.
 Check gas connections are tight and not leaking gas
before use.
 Clean fat and grease from barbeques before use.

$400,000 FUNDED
FOR DUNOLLY STREETSCAPE
‘The work will also improve pedestrian links from
Broadway to Gordon Gardens, which is a popular spot
for barbeques and community events.’
Mr O’Brien said the Victorian Coalition Government
funding for the Streetscape Improvements – Dunolly
project would be provided through the Regional
Growth Fund to the Central Goldfields Shire Council.
‘The Regional Growth Fund invests in community-led
projects to drive jobs, investment and innovation in
rural and regional Victoria,’ Mr O’Brien said.
‘Since it was established in 2011, the $1 billion Regional
Growth Fund has invested in almost 1700 local projects
in communities outside Melbourne, generating about
$1.9 billion of total investment.
‘In Central Goldfields Shire, the Regional Growth Fund
has provided $7.4 million to 31 projects, leveraging
$15.1 million in total investment. These projects
include:
 $500,000 for the $876,000 Central Goldfields
Children's Centre
 $119,700 for the $159,600 Majorca Hall Renovation
& Extension
 $1.53 million for the $3.3 million Carisbrook Renewal

THE CORK TREE
The cork tree is a Dunolly landmark. It has stood in its
spot for many years. We had only lived in Dunolly for a
short time when somebody said that we should go and
have a look at it. After that we often took visitors to
see the tree and admire it, as we did.
On Sunday, on a ramble around Dunolly, I found myself
looking at the cork tree once again. To my surprise it
was covered in flowers and their attendant bees.
Under the weight of the flowers the branches were
brushing the ground and I had to stoop very low to get
inside.
The outside of the tree is not really that impressive. It
could be taller, it looks a little untidy and the dark
leaves are not particularly beautiful. It is once you get
under the canopy that the true beauty of the tree
becomes apparent. It is an awe inspiring space, much
as a lovely church. The ground is littered with mulch
from all the dropped leaves and twigs. Through the
years it has endured droughts, floods and train
vibrations without human assistance. It is probably this
mulch which has allowed it to thrive so well.
There were a few empty stubbies under the tree and
the skeletons of a couple of chairs which have been
there as long as I can remember. Other than that it was
clear of trash. Obviously having nothing to sit on
means that people go and admire the tree and then
leave fairly quickly. The tree does not get loved to
death.
Were it to be landscaped and made a tourist attraction
things would change dramatically. Branches would
have to be pruned up to a height of about two metres
to allow access. Hot summer winds would blast in
there damaging new growth and drying the soil.
Mulch would be cleared so the tree would not
continue to feed itself. Crushed stone edged with
treated pine would probably be put down for chairs
and tables to rest on as well as for paths. People
picnicking and walking on the stone would, over time,
cause the soft soil there to compact creating problems
for the root system. They would also generate rubbish
so a bin would be needed. Who would empty it as this
is not council land? A full bin would attract ants and
mice. The mice would attract snakes. And who would
maintain the area keeping it free of weeds and the
furniture usable? So we can easily imagine how a
much treasured local icon could be severely impacted
by well meaning landscaping.
A few years ago about six or eight seedlings from this
tree became available in the Craft Shop. They were
snapped up by locals in a matter of days, and many
people were disappointed to miss out.
When V/Line built the new line in front of the station
there was talk of cutting the tree down. However
strong local opinion was respected and the tree was
allowed to remain.
I think it should be left to look after itself as it has
done for many years now. If anyone wants to restore
the station buildings for community use, good luck to
them. But the cork tree should not be part of the deal.
No amount of landscaping will improve on its current
perfection, and locals would be disappointed if it was
damaged in the process.

YOUR COMMUNITY NEEDS YOUR HELP
Community Property
You are one of the many residents in Dunolly, or one of
the surrounding districts, who live in the vicinity of
community property such as schools, parks, fire stations
or Council buildings. For periods of time, these facilities
are unused and so there is nobody on site to observe
any illegal activity.
These activities can include
vandalism and damage, and in the case of buildings, a
break-in and the theft of items from the buildings.
How You Can Help
We are asking you to keep an eye on the community
property in your area and report any suspicious
behaviour to the police. If you see somebody damaging
the property or attempting to break into a community
building…..
Ring 000 immediately
Report what you have observed and leave it to the
police to take the necessary action.
Under no circumstances should you approach
the person who is acting suspiciously.
NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH AND CFA IN PARTNERSHIP

ANZAC CENTENARY PROJECT
Homecoming: First World War Soldiers of Victoria’s
Central Goldfields Community contribution requested
To mark the centenary of the First World War, the Central
Goldfields Shire Council will remember Australia’s Soldiers
by placing large-scale photographic portraits throughout
the Shire. This project is supported by funding from the
Australian Government under the Anzac Centenary Local
Grants Program. Central Goldfields Art Gallery now invites
the community to contribute photographs and stories of
their ancestors to this project. We are seeking
photographs of First World War Soldiers that were either
born or enlisted within the Central Goldfields Shire.
Photographs will be scanned and returned to community
members. The exhibition of portraits entitled
‘Homecoming’ will feature First World War soldiers who
lived and grew up in communities throughout the Central
Goldfields Shire, giving a face to those whom we now only
remember by their names etched in monuments and
memorials around the region. Below each portrait will be
descriptive text telling the story of each soldier’s war
experience. The soldiers’ photographs will be reproduced
on vinyl banners in life-size scale to be mounted on blank
walls around our Shire townships, and placed in strategic
and appropriate places for the next four years (2015 2018) during the months of April (ANZAC Day) and
November (Remembrance Day). Each year will mark a
centenary commemoration of significant battles that at
least one of the soldiers will have been involved in.‘’ The
project aims to bring these soldiers stories back to life, by
placing their once-familiar faces back into the community,
so the memory of their sacrifice lives on. 748 soldiers who
enlisted in the First World War were born in
Maryborough. This number does not include soldiers from
other towns within the Central Goldfields Shire. We
believe this significant contribution needs to be
remembered” says local artist and curator of the project,
Michael Grant. P.O Box 194, Maryborough 3465. DX
46504. Phone: (03) 5461 0610 Fax: (03)5461 0666.
Michael will be assembling the photographs for this
project. He grew up in Maryborough and in recent years
has been involved in the archaeological search for missing
Australian soldiers in Papua New Guinea and was invited
by the Australian Army to curate an art exhibition to mark
the closing of Fort Queenscliff after 152 years. Michael’s
artwork is also represented in the collection of the
Australian War Memorial, Canberra. We encourage
anyone who wishes to contribute photographs to the
project to contact Kay Parkin or Michael Grant at the
Central Goldfields Art Gallery. For further information on
this project please contact. Kay Parkin Arts Manager

CENTRAL GOLDFIELDS
CEO REAPPOINTED
Central Goldfields Shire Council has reappointed CEO
Mark Johnston for a further five year term. With the
position formalised at its ordinary meeting of
28 October 2014 Mayor Barry Rinaldi says council is
delighted with the appointment.
‘Mr Johnston is an outstanding CEO’ Mayor Rinaldi
said, ‘an industry leader’.
The Mayor noted that Mr Johnston had worked with
Council to lead community development and renewal.
‘The place is being transformed. The True Foods
business with jobs, record levels of residential growth,
four supermarkets making Maryborough a subregional centre, the Station Domain development and
of course the Go Goldfields project achieving social
change are headline acts among a raft of
achievements’ says the Mayor.
The Mayor says Council recognises the experience Mr
Johnston brings to the position and the sustained
strong capability he continues to display. ‘Council
particularly values Mark’s complex strategy
development and implementation as well as high level
advocacy. We also value the working relationship.
‘As Mayor in recent years I have had the direct
opportunity to appreciate how widely regarded and
respected Mark is’ Mayor Rinaldi said.

ASBESTOS AWARENESS MONTH
Loddon Shire Council has joined a national
campaign to urge homeowners, tradesmen and
handymen to be careful when renovating.
November is National Asbestos Awareness Month, and
we are urging people to take a 20 point asbestos
safety check to protect themselves and family
members from exposure to dangerous asbestos fibres.
There is no safe level of exposure to asbestos fibres.
With at least one in three Australian homes containing
asbestos, it is important that homeowners, tradesmen
and renovators put their health and the health of their
families first when conducting home renovation,
maintenance and demolition.
If dangerous asbestos dust and fibres are released, it
can be inhaled and lead to asbestos-related diseases
including mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is a cancer that mostly affects the lining
of the lungs and develops between 20 to 50 years after
inhaling asbestos fibres.
For more information on Asbestos Awareness Month
and to access the 20 point asbestos safety check, visit

Loddon’s walking
and cycling boost
Twelve walking and cycling trails
are set for further promotion to
visitors, with a state government
funding boost to assist Council’s
tracks and trails network.
The Loddon Shire Tracks and Trails project will see the
installation of signs along the Shire’s trails, and
brochures to promote the trails to the region’s visitors.
The $55,000 project will be funded as a joint initiative,
recently saw Minister for Roads Terry Mulder
announcing $25,000 from the Transport Investing in
Regions fund, with Loddon Shire Council contributing
the $30,000 from the existing trails signage budget.
The trails set to receive the trail head signs and
promotion material are located at Pyramid Hill, Little
Lake Boort, Serpentine Pon Pon Reserve, Bridgewater
Riverside, Inglewood Botanic Gardens, Bullabul Track
between Inglewood and Bridgewater, Wedderburn
Nardoo and Reservoir Trails, Tarnagulla Town Heritage
Walk, Cemetery Track and Reservoir Track along with
the Laanecoorie River Trail.
The partnership between local and state government
has ensured this project can go not just one step, but
two steps further.
Loddon businesses will benefit from the project as it
aims to enhance local tourism through encouraging
new visitors to the region.

ROSIE’S RAMBLE
WHAT IS ………….
Do you know what an RUD is? It stands for Rapid
Unscheduled Disassembly. In layman’s terms, it was
the explosion that blew the rocket that was to take
supplies to the Space Station to pieces six seconds after
lift-off in Virginia last week. I wonder if this expression
is part of the special space language as I actually heard
the man who was broadcasting the take-off say this;
then tell everyone to stay at their consoles. Actually it
is a pretty accurate description of what happened.
(I see that NASA has said the rocket used was built in
Russia in, I think the 1990s.) A classic case of ‘It wasn’t
our fault’.

THE WELCOME RECORD
ST JOHN’S ANGLICAN CHURCH
1869 – 2014
The period from 1860-1870 was a prosperous one for
the ‘borough’ of Dunolly, the population being about
3000 people.
In 1857 the first services were held in Woolridges
Eagle Saloon in Broadway. Later services were moved
to an old wooden building adjoining the Bendigo Hotel
(behind Daly’s). From 1858 services were held in the
new school building, 1860 onwards there was no
minister in Dunolly until 1863. Baptisms and marriages
were attended to by the clergy from Castlemaine – by
appointment. Up to 1863, Mr Joshua Thomas,
headmaster of the Church school conducted services
on a regular basis in the school.
In January 1863, a Board of Trustees were appointed
and fundraising was commenced for the new Church.
In June 1863 the land where the Church now stands
was permanently reserved for the new building. From
1863 to March 1866, the building fund was assisted by
a series of ‘Grand Teas’, ‘Bazaars’ and ‘Fetes’ with
assistance from the congregation.
Vol 29 Iss 41 Page 13
From March 1866 a church committee advised the
architects of their wishes as to the building and plans
and specifications were prepared.
In July 1866 the foundation stone was laid. Plans and
specifications were approved in September 1866 and
from then to 1869 the building progressed.
In April 1869 tenders for the roof, floor, doors and
window frames were opened. The works were
completed and St John’s Church, Dunolly was opened
on December 17, 1869.
Morning and evening services were well-attended each
Sunday. 2000 pounds had been spent on the building,
but a further 1000 pounds was required to finish off
the necessary fittings.
The well-proportioned freestone building set on
granite foundations is still in a good state of
preservation. An excellent testimonial to the pioneer
builders of the Gold Rush Days.

BEACH BURIAL
Softly and humbly to the Gulf of Arabs
The convoys of dead sailors come;
At night they sway and wander in the waters far under,
But morning rolls them in the foam.
Between the sob and clubbing of the gunfire
Someone, it seems, has time for this,
To pluck them from the shallows and bury them in
burrows
And tread the sand upon their nakedness;
And each cross, the driven stake of tide wood,
Bears the last signature of men,
Written with such perplexity, with such bewildered
pity,
The words choke as they begin—

‘Unknown seaman’ – the ghostly pencil
Wavers and fades, the purple drips,
The breath of the wet season has washed their

As blue as drowned men’s lips,
Dead seamen, gone in search of the same landfall,
Whether as enemies they fought,
Or fought with us, or neither; the sand joins them
together,
Enlisted on the other front.

Those of us who couldn’t make the previous Havelock
historical sites tour, were given another chance when
local historian John Tully took a repeat tour last
Saturday. This was ‘by public demand’ as John gives
such a well informed and fascinating tour, no one
wants to miss out. How lucky we are in Dunolly to
have our local history preserved by the Goldfields
Historical Museum and in particular by John’s
dedication and generosity for sharing his stories and
research with us.
Thank you to John and all the Museum volunteers.
The well attended tour of about fifteen people had a
relaxing and informative day with lots of laughter and
community spirit. (especially when it suddenly rained
on us at lunch time – wet sandwich anyone?).

FAMILY FUN AT DUNOLLY PS
The Dunolly Primary School grounds came alive on
Monday night with screams of 'get them', 'this is fun'
and 'let's form an alliance'. Students, staff and families
all came together to participate in a Family Fun night
which included Bluearth games, a BBQ tea and maths
games.
‘This year staff have been involved in George Booker
and Bluearth professional development days and we
wanted to share some of our learning with our school
community’, said fun night coordinator Katie
Lovel. ‘We wanted to show parents how enjoyable and
easy it is to help their children learn through simple
games’ she said. The evening was sponsored by the
Maldon and District Community Bank Branch of the
Bendigo Bank. This allowed the school to provide
a showbag full of the games and resources used on the
night such as packs of cards and dice for each family,
so they could go away and continue to play at
home. Over 120 people were in attendance
and Principal Jeanette Hayes commented, ‘It was just
fantastic to see so many families in attendance for the
evening, learning together with their children.’
The whole school community was invited to attend
including next year's prep students who are well into
their transition program. Bluearth games included the
Mad Eagle, Ultimate Dodge Ball and whole school
Hunter. These games foster inclusion, good
sportsmanship and continued involvement by all
participants. The maths games included simple card
and dice games which foster the development of
numeracy with the students. The staff received a lot of
glowing feedback on the night including parent
Jess Willoughby who commented ‘my son was so
excited to get there, so excited while there and still
excited when I was putting him to bed.’ Following the
success of the evening the school is looking at making
this an annual event.

CYCLIST IN DUNOLLY FOR A GOOD CAUSE
On Monday 10 November 30 strong cycling enthusiasts
will arrive in Dunolly in a bid to raise funds and
community awareness for cardiac arrhythmias
(irregular heartbeat). The week-long Paceline ride
begins on 7 November travelling through Melbourne
and regional Victoria.
‘Arrhythmias are a major health issue in Australia with
one in five sufferers unaware they have the condition’,
said Mr Quinn, Paceline Founder and President, who
himself has suffered two types of arrhythmia at age 35.
‘A simple pulse test can be the first step in detecting a
heartbeat irregularity and could help save thousands of
lives,’ he said.

THE WELCOME RECORD
5 November 2014
DUNOLLY COURTHOUSE PROJECTIONS
As part of Art Central's Museum of Truth and Lies, The Dunolly Court House came to new life with colour on Friday
night. Artist Jim Coad projected images created by Dunolly Primary School and our community.
Anna Ashton was instrumental in ensuring all elements came together for this event. The D Sharps and Acapella
Gold provided entertainment, and the SES kept us fed and watered. Thanks to all concerned.
