It is commonly understood that our cork tree (quercus
suber) was planted about 1875, not long a!er the
sta"on was built in 1873. Fortunately, Vic Track
con"nues to allow the tree to grow freely so it now
overhangs one end of the pla#orm. In the midst of the
drought, in 2008, the Northern Goldfields Tourism
Associa"on commissioned an arborist to assess the
health of the cork tree, as it was iden"fied as
poten"ally a major tourism a%rac"on, as well as being
well-loved by the Dunolly community. The arborist’s
report indicated the tree was in very good shape and
probably drew its water from an underground
watercourse that runs under the Caravan Park. He
suggested some dead wood might be removed, but
this had no bearing on the overall health of the tree.
The NGTA approached Vic Track to care for the tree as
it is on their land. Vic Track indicated the tree, as well
as the railway buildings, would be placed on their
heritage priority list. As far as I know, there is no
indica"on that Vic Track plans to prune the cork tree.
In 2009-10, Vic Track funded important restora"on
work on the sta"on to make it weather "ght and
offered the community part of the sta"on building for
community use at a ‘peppercorn’ rent. There was a
REMINDER - THE MESSIAH Dunolly Town Hall Saturday 22 November 3.00pm
tour of the sta"on and some interest was expressed in
taking up the offer so a local arts group could have
permanent studio and exhibi"on space. The
Neighbourhood House was the poten"al sponsor of
such a group, but at the "me, decided it was not ready
to pursue the ma%er. It is exci"ng that progress may
now be made to take the proposal further.

Don’t go outside without your umbrella for the next
couple of weeks. It’s not because of the rain the other
night – welcome though it was. It’s not because of the
space junk falling out of the sky – I think that was in
Queensland. It’s because of all the money that is
suddenly falling all over any project that is
men#oned……There must be an elec#on in the air!
How impressed were the world leaders when our
prime minister told them about his difficulty in ge*ng
the budget passed. In the context of the mee#ng and
world economics….not at all!
There was a Twitchathon recently. Twitchers are very
dedicated bird-watchers who make a note of every
bird they see. Some of them go to extremes to be the
first to see certain birds. The recent event was over
twenty-four hours with a break of five hours during the
night. One of the rules was the birds noted had to be
alive. No coun#ng the road-kill.
For those who are holding their breath to know the
fate of the baby black-bird that was in our greenhouse,
well….
Black-bird has flowwwen out of the greeeeenhouse,
Now I can waaaater whenever I like (try humming
these words to ‘Morning has Broken’).

THE WELCOME RECORD
SAVOY OPERA COMPANY IN DUNOLLY
The Savoy Opera company came to the Dunolly Town
Hall last Saturday with their fantas!c Gilbert and
Sullivan comedy Ruddigore. Savoy paid all expenses to
bring their finest singers to Dunolly. The visit of the
company of about forty actors supported the local
economy by having meals and accommoda!on in
Dunolly. But the locals didn’t come to the
show. Unfortunately only 12 !ckets were sold – and
at least three of those were from Maryborough. If we
don’t patronise shows, we may find that theatre
companies can’t afford to return.
Children were
admi$ed free of charge, but I couldn’t get even one
child. Of course, not everyone is interested in theatre,
but The Town Hall is a magnificent venue for shows,
and this was a quality family performance for a frac!on
of the normal theatre prices. The Savoy opera
costumes and singing were fabulous, and I know that
the locals would have truly enjoyed this sparkling and
funny produc!on.
Rachel Buckley
RUDDIGORE
What a terrible shame it was that more people did not
a$end the fantas!c produc!on of Ruddigore by the
Savoy Opera Company at the Dunolly Town Hall. The
company put on such a fabulous show and gave their
all, despite such a poor audience a$endance. It must
have been quite disappoin!ng for them to go to such
great expense and effort with li$le return.
We are so fortunate in our small town to have such
brilliant entertainment, however, if it is not well
a$ended, we may lose this wonderful opportunity to
enjoy a quality performance that would hold its own in
any major city.
Perhaps the reason for the lack of a$endance may
have been due to cost factors. The fee of $25.00 is not,
in itself, very expensive for a quality show, however,
because of so many other shows we’ve had recently,
perhaps it’s a li$le difficult for people to budget and
they are selec!ve in what they can a$end.
Personally, as I love all of this, I have a li$le ki$y where
I put a few dollars in every week, then I have enough
for each show that comes along.

INDIAN HAWKER
Once again I enjoyed the story from yesteryear by
Loris Akers and Beryl Barker about Meir Khan. It was
interes!ng that he wanted to return to India before he
died. Perhaps he wanted to be cremated on the banks
of the Ganges as so many Indians seem to want to.
Thank you Loris and Beryl for an interes!ng story.

COUNCIL
NOTES
PARTICIPATION URGED AT MEETINGS
During the next month or two, there will be some
important mee!ngs which I would like to see as many
people as possible a$end. Dates yet to be determined.
(Watch this space for details.)
The first one is regarding the footpaths and
streetscape between Thompson Street and Bull Street
in Broadway on both sides of the street. The Council
has received funding of $400,000 to complete this
work.
This will include extensive consulta!on between
residents, shire and consultants and for work to begin
some !me early next year. It would be good for people
to be involved in discussing this issue. In the future I
would like to see a footpath in Bull Street to Maude
Street then up Thompson Street, so that people going
to the Kindergarten do not have to walk on the road.
The other Mee!ng will be regarding the Stand Pipes.
We had a mee!ng earlier in the year - 16 people
a$ended in Bealiba and in Dunolly no one turned up.
Whilst the town people are serviced with water there
are a lot of rural people who are not. The standpipe
system will be changing in the near future and people
who use this facility need to know how it will operate.

HANDEL’S ORATORIO THE MESSIAH
AT DUNOLLY TOWN HALL
A•er nearly a year of planning, the date for this gala
performance is nearly upon us. The magnificent
acous"cs of the Dunolly Town Hall will resonate with
the glorious music of Handel’s popular oratorio The
Messiah. The large choir, orchestra and talented
soloists from the Heidelberg Choral Society will raise
the roof and the spirits! The Heidelberg Choir of
approximately 90 members was formed in 1920 and
performs three major concerts each year featuring
classical sacred and secular choral works as well as
operas, madrigals and oratorios. This performance
will feature the Soprano Chris"na Russo from
Victorian Opera, Contralto Elizabeth Lewis from
Opera Queensland, Baritone Ma$hew Tng from
Singapore Lyric Opera and Tenor Douglas Kelly from
Queensland Opera.
Conductor Peter Bandy has an extensive repertoire
conduc"ng the West Australian Symphony Orchestra,
Australian Opera, Australian Ballet, Royal Melbourne
Philharmonic Society and the Melbourne Youth
Orchestra. Peter Bandy has worked with James
Galway, Dame Joan Sutherland, Rolf Harris and
Richard Bonynge. In 2008, The Heidelberg Choral
Society, in conjunc"on with the Amadeus Chamber
orchestra, under the direc"on of Ma$hew Toogood,
undertook an interstate tour of Handel’s Messiah to
regional Victoria and South Australia. The touring
tradi"on con"nues with the Dunolly Theatre
Company invita"on bringing the HCS to Dunolly. This
major event would not be possible without the
generous grants from the Bendigo Regional Tourism
and the Shire of Central Goldfields.

THE WELCOME RECORD
A BUDGIE’S TALE
I would like to thank Joyce Wa!s for her kind words in
last week’s WR, thanking us for returning her lost budgie.
There is a bit more to the story, which we told Joyce
about, however we thought it was worth rela"ng, as from
the budgie’s point of view it was a real and some"mes
terrifying adventure.
On Sunday 26 October, we were driving through Dunolly
on the way to Talbot Swap Meet, when John spo!ed a
budgerigar on the road in the middle of Broadway. He has
rescued many other birds and animals from the roads in
the past, but never a budgie! Fortunately, there was a
break in the traffic and he was able to stop and pick up
the bird, although there was a truck not too far away,
which, given another 30 seconds or so, would have
almost certainly meant the demise of the budgie.
He placed the bird in the back of the car; it appeared
fairly docile and seemed to be exhausted, probably from
being chased by other birds. It was s"ll early and the
temperature was fairly cool at that stage, but not
knowing from where it had escaped, we had no op"on
other than to keep driving to our des"na"on. By the "me
we arrived at Talbot, it had become obvious that the bird
wasn’t sick or hurt and it was beginning to respond, so
John se!led it in the shade in the back of the car, with a
dish of water. Both of us returned several "mes to check
on it, and as the temperature was warming up, we were
becoming rather concerned, although fortunately the car
was s"ll quite cool. It seemed quite happy, however,
checking out its new surroundings.
On leaving the swap meet and a%er carefully loading all
our purchases around the budgie’s new hideout, we
detoured via a Maryborough supermarket so John could
buy it some bird seed. Following that, on the way home, I
put a Found no"ce on the no"ceboard in the Dunolly
supermarket. By that "me the budgie had found its voice
again, so some chirping and pecking sounds could be
heard in the back of the car, a very encouraging sign.
Back home, the budgie was se!led into a quicklyresurrected old cage from the shed, with fresh seed and
water, so beginning its two weeks’ holiday.
I placed an adver"sement in the next issue of the
Welcome Record, unfortunately with no response.
Meanwhile, the budgie was enjoying its new-found home,
with its cage hung in a variety of different spots in the
yard, depending on the weather, so it had a chance to
experience the scenery from the safety of its cage. The
new addi"on to the yard was a great source of interest to
the local birdlife, not to men"on the occasional passing
cat! At night, it slept inside, with a cover and net to
protect it from the marauding mosquitoes.
I adver"sed again in the following week’s Welcome
Record and a%er not receiving a response for the first few
days, we had just about given up hope of finding the
bird’s owner. It was a lovely surprise when, the following
19 November 2014
Saturday morning, we received a phone call from a lady
who told us that she was visi"ng her mother in Dunolly
for the weekend and that her mother had recently lost a
budgie. She had picked up a copy of the Welcome Record
while she was in town and had by chance stumbled
across the adver"sement. Later that day we were able to
reunite the li!le budgie with its owner, Joyce Wa!s. The
place where John had found it on the road was only a few
houses away from Joyce’s place. A long journey for the
budgie, but a happy ending all
round, thanks to the Welcome
Record!

GRAND DUKE MINE
Timor is a peaceful place now. There are a number of
houses and a lovely old red brick school si!ng in the
sun. But it has not always been so quiet. Road signs
point to the many old gold mines which do"ed the
area. The Cousin Jack and Humbug are just a few. But
we are a#er the Grand Duke Mine with its wonderful
granite and brick arch which was once home to
the largest pumping engine in Australia and employed
many local men.
According to the Parks informa$on board at the site,
the Grand Duke started in May 1869 and con$nued to
operate un$l 1896. There was a long break when the
pump needed repair in the early 1870s.
The pump was imported to Timor from Cornwall. What
an enormous task to get such a huge machine from
Cornwall. Much of the transport must have been by
bullock wagons, as horses may not have had the
stamina for such a trip. The big granite blocks came
from Mount Hooghly. Six foot (1.8 metres) thick brick
walls were constructed as well for the huge pump to
be a"ached to. Big rusted pipes and bolts s$ll s$ck out
of the weathered bricks and concrete. Large rusty
spikes s$ck out of the granite slab. The massive
engineering effort also extended underground so the
pump arm could reach the water table freely. Tunnels
followed the rich lead for about four miles
(approximately 6.5 kilometres) underground.
Underneath Timor the ground was very wet. The
rounded white pebbles found in the slag heaps
indicate that they had been immersed in water for a
very long $me. In the last seven years of the mine's
opera$on the huge pump brought up 2,000 gallons
(9,600 litres) per minute. While the informa$on board
does not tell us what happened to all this water the
site is close to the Bet Bet Creek. A#er the mine closed
in 1896 the mines inspector reported that the mine
water was rising at a rate of 8.5cm (about three
inches) per day.
The local mining industry employed many local men
and needed extremely high amounts of $mber. It
devastated the Maryborough and Bet Bet forests.
Around 1900 the Maryborough forests were closed as
a source of $mber to the mining industry.
Next to the arch are steep slag heaps. Some people
had climbed up to get good photographs of the whole
area and found it too difficult to get down, so backside
sliding became popular. Old photos show the whole
mined area completely devoid of vegeta$on. Today it
is covered in thick grass and plenty of big trees. Nature
is very good in covering human inflicted wounds so
quickly and well.
It is an interes$ng place to spend $me and we were
not the only visitors to the Grand Duke mine that
a#ernoon. Crossing the dry Bet Bet Creek on the way
out of Timor it was difficult to imagine what a bustling
place it must have been 120 years ago and how much
the townscape has changed since the closing of the
Grand Duke.

BEALIBA LOVEL/MAYES FAMILY
COMMEMORATION DAY
More than 100 Lovel/Mayes rela!ves and friends
a"ended a ceremony on Sunday 2 November 2014, at
the Bealiba Cemetery. The ceremony was organised in
order to place a headstone on the unmarked grave of the
original Lovel/Mayes family to se"le in the area.
William Lovel (1820-1881) and Mary Ann Carmody/
Mayes (1836-1900) arrived in the area in 1857. All they
had was what they stood up in, and two li"le children.
They remained in the area the rest of their lives, never
making their fortune, but raising 10 children and being
well regarded ci!zens in the then fledgling community.
A natural rock headstone with brass plaque was prepared
and posi!oned by Lin Lovel of Dunolly. The plaque also
acknowledges four of William and Mary Ann’s children,
three grandchildren and one great granddaughter
interred with them.
The Master of Ceremonies for the headstone
commemora!on was Philip Lovel AM, son of the late Roy
and Be"y Lovel (St Arnaud).
The loca!on of the grave site in the Cemetery had
previously been lost in !me but with the assistance of
Kate McClelland (Bealiba Cemetery Trust), Be"y Lovel
(Bealiba) and Cheryl Lovel (Maryborough) the grave was
finally located.
Peter Lovel (Great x 2 grandson) and son of the late Louis
Mitchell Lovel and Merle Lovel told the story of the lives
of William and Mary Ann, their 10 children and two of
their descendants who made the ul!mate sacrifice in
WW1 and WW2. He also recited a special poem
prepared in their honour.
Family research has revealed that William Lovel was
really William Laws an escaped Van Diemen’s Land
convict, transported for 15 years in 1843 for stealing
bread from a Norwich (UK) Bakery. William is recorded in
one of his son’s memoirs as being at Eureka.
Rela!ves travelled from all around Australia to a"end.
Their 93 year old great grandson, Ivan Pa"erson Lovel,
a"ended as did Ruth Lovel, wife of their great grandson
the late Stephen Lovel. Local Bealiba iden!ty, historian/
author and rela!ve by marriage, Allan Henderson (nearly
90 years young), and members of the Bealiba Historical
Society also a"ended.
A%er the ceremony the a"endees moved to the excellent
facili!es of the Bealiba Pony Club for a picnic luncheon.
Rela!ves, many of whom had never met before, had a
wonderful !me mee!ng up and were sa!sfied that at last
our pioneering ancestors had been formally
acknowledged. Cheryl Lovel’s organising skills came to
the fore at the func!on.

THE WELCOME RECORD
“THANK YOU “
from RHEOLA RURAL FIRE BRIGADE
The Brigade would like to take this opportunity to thank
all the Community for their generosity in our fund raising
over the past 12 months. We have been successful in
acquiring our funds needed through this generosity and
also the Inglewood & District Community Bank Grants
Program. The grant of $20,000 was gratefully accepted
and, as it is said, “was the icing on the cake”.
The Community is very apprecia!ve to be able to have
these grants available for small communi!es to try to
a'ain help for their projects, as the constant need for
funding in small communi!es is very hard to come by. We
will hopefully take possession of the new 2.4c Medium
Tanker in July 2015. This will be such a great asset to
Rheola and surrounding districts for many years to come,
also a much safer vehicle for our volunteers to work with,
as the aim is always to” bring them all home”.
The winners of the raffle drawn on 10 November were:
· 1st prize Fire Fighter Trailer, donated by D Coe & family,
won by L Gale.
· 2nd prize, 2 Dress Rings, donated by K & F Neilson, won
by J Bellinger.
· 3rd prize , Box of Wine, donated by Glenalbyn Winery,
won by B Needs.
· 4th prize, Voucher, donated by Maryborough Tyre Power,

· 5th prize, Voucher, donated by Meat on Brooke St, won

KEEPING VALUABLES SAFE
The ‘Silly Season’ is fast approaching making ou!ngs
and shopping a busy !me. We tend to hold our lives in our
handbag or wallet and losing it a trauma!c experience as
well as expensive and !me consuming. Keep your handbag
strap over one shoulder and across your body (if possible)
and always zipped when not needed, keeping your purse
secure. Never place or leave your handbag in the shopping
trolley or hold it loosely in the event it can be grabbed and
run off with. Your wallet should be placed in a pocket that
cannot be easily picked when you are distracted.
The$ from a car is purely opportunis!c. It’s only common
sense if you don’t want it stolen then don’t leave it in full
view, or, ideally, don’t leave it in the car at all. In this
electronic age whether shopping, visi!ng friends, parked in
the street, or driveway when home, GPS systems, mobile
phones, cameras and notebook computers are targeted and
being stolen. This kind of the$ is the state’s highestvolume crime, it happens in public spaces such as car parks
and easily in the home driveway.
When arriving home lock the car and taking your purchases
inside your home, making sure you don’t leave your keys,
handbag or wallet within easy reach of the door when
inside. Once again opportunis!c thieves can target your
movements and home-coming and remove these valuables
before you realise what has happened.
Best we can do, as a community is to maintain our own
safety and security and that of our neighbours. ‘Make like a
Meerkat’ and watch what is going on around our
neighbourhood.
Dunolly Neighbourhood Watch
To all the members who collected, helped and sold
raffle !ckets “JOB WELL DONE”.
“THANK YOU” again, for all your dona!ons, to the

The risk of frosts are now over, although frost can
happen in low-lying areas. All frost-tender plants or
seeds can go in the soil not to give the roots a chance to
penetrate into the deeper soil over the summer
months.
Now is the !me to plant out all the varie!es of the
pumpkin family. Ideal condi!ons are required for these
plants. Pumpkin and summer squash are both grown at
the same !me. Summer squash are generally eaten at
the same !me, whereas winter squash can be stored
like pumpkins and used during the winter. They can
also be classed as marrows. Another easy grown tasty
vegetable is silverbeet or chard, another variety of
beet. Rainbow chard is definitely the most a#rac!ve
variety; stems have a range of colours, like orange,
yellow and some gold-like colours. It adds some colour
to the garden and is more tasty than silverbeet.
Le#uce and celery do need plenty of water to make
rapid growth, or both can become very bi#er if they are
le$ in the soil too long. The brown mignone#e le#uce
is best this season with the water supply being low, as
they require less water and can keep in the soil without
become bi#er.
All the parsnips are be#er in the soil by the end of this
month to ensure a good crop for next winter. Parsnips
are a good winter veggie and have a be#er flavour
a$er being hit by frosts.
To have large roots on these veggies they do need to be
thinned out at the pencil thickness; root veggies need
deep watering once they grow to thinning out stage so
the roots will follow the moisture down. Shallow
watering will keep the roots near the surface and
therefore they will only last a few days before showing
signs of stress.
All dwarf beans can be sown from now on. Bu#er beans
do grow be#er if le$ un!l late December. If they
happen to be hit with a spell of cold weather, they will
not set good pods; most likely short, curly pods.
By now we will know what fruit harvest to expect.
Aphids can be very ac!ve on stone fruit tree leaves
now. They can do a lot of damage before they are
detected. Their favourite tree is cherry. In the absence
of rain there is li#le or no moisture in the subsoil; the
roots are inclined to seek moisture closer to the
surface. The best way to water trees in a dry season is
to dig a shallow hole out from the base, add some
fer!liser, and fill the hole with waste water as o$en as
possible.
Happy Gardening. Alf

PLENTY OF MILK IN MY TEA
OUR DOG JIM
I’m glad I lived in a be!er age
I could sit in a paddock and dream
hear a whistle of an old steam train
in the glorious age of steam.
We own a dog, his name is Jim,
And nobody gets the be!er of him.
One day when walking down the town,
The dog was kicked by Jenkins Brown.
Jim made no fuss, but he was riled,
Although he merely looked and smiled.
Now when the policeman came around
Our Jim was nowhere to be found
‘Had we a dog, and pay the cost?’
We said our dog was lately lost.
Oh, yes we had li!le of this and that
but our life was always free,
free speech, free to do as you please,
with plenty of milk in my tea
Today we have such a cynical view
of the sanc"ty of life
we analyse then we computerise
but mostly we live in strife.
So I think of what we haven’t got
but it doesn’t mean mush to me
I had so much, why even a lot
with plenty of milk in my tea

NO WORD PYRAMID THIS WEEK.
And so the policeman went away
And called on Jenkins Brown next day.
‘Had he a dog?’ He swore he’d not
When Jim appeared upon the spot
And jumped around and licked his hand
To let the policeman understand.
When Jim saw Brown had paid the fine
He came back home with us to dine.
That’s how we saved our half-a-crown
And Jim got level with Jenkins Brown!

THE WELCOME RECORD
JUST DESSERTS
Johnno was one of those men, black heart on the inside,
spit-polished silver on the outside. Those not stung by his
swindles thought him a likable rogue.
Johnno had a very high opinion of himself. No ma#er how
he acted or what he did, he always landed on his feet. Life
was a game, the stakes irrelevant. He cruised on through,
oblivious to the ba#ered and despairing vic!ms le"
floundering in his wake; whether it be in ma#ers of the
heart or ma#ers of the wallet. Even his mother was
disappointed in him, but he didn’t care. Sociopath was
not a word he had himself familiar with.
This evening he was feeling par!cularly pleased as he
approached the café he supposedly part-owned, although
it hadn’t cost him a cent.
‘My, you look posi!vely chipper tonight,’ Michael, the
waiter, said as Johnno walked in.
‘Who, me?’ Johnno said, exhibi!ng his predatory grin. He
smacked his hands together. ‘I’ve just managed to offload an an!que !p truck to a small mining concern up the
road. And now I’m going to sit in the window with a
mixed-grill and take pity on the mug-punters as they
wander by. Oh! And I feel like a banana split too. And a
bo#le of that Shiraz I like. I’m in the mood to party.’
‘Coming right up,’ Michael said.
The meal was rapidly consumed along with most of the
wine. The banana split duly arrived accompanied by fresh
slices of kiwi fruit and peach halves. His mind was racing
as usual; weighing up various schemes, permuta!ons. He
was not given to frivolous acts, but he was struck by a
thought. If he arranged two peach halves side by side
with an up-turned banana underneath, he would produce
a smiley face. With childish glee that’s exactly what he
did. Some crushed nuts served as eyebrows, a sliver of
kiwi fruit subs!tuted for a nose. His dessert beamed back
at him.
‘If you were a girl I’d promise you the world,’ he declared,
not caring if any other patrons heard him. He raised a
glass in salute. Surely it was not temp!ng fate to feel so
smug. Maybe it was the alcohol, but he could have sworn
the dessert winked at him.
The wall next to him exploded! Glass sailed through the
air as several tons of elderly !p-truck failed to nego!ate a
bend and crashed through the front of the café. Johnno
had neglected to advise the new owners about the loose
brakes and faulty rack and pinion steering.
Brick dust rained down upon his head. With a shock he
realised he was pinned between the table and the bonnet
of the truck. His head sagged. His normally penetra!ng
gaze faltered.
As the world faded, the last thing he saw was a
dishevelled and dis!nctly unhappy looking dessert staring
at him from the !lted surface of the table.

THE WELCOME RECORD
It was with great honour that I was re-elected as
Mayor at the November Statutory Council Mee!ng last
week in my home town of Wedderburn, in front of my
friends, family and the greater Loddon community.
My fellow councillors bestowed upon me the great
honour of being elected as Mayor for 2014/2015

In making this decision, the Council has asked me to
lead this great organisa!on and vibrant community for
a further 12 months. This is my sixth term as Mayor, so
I know what I am in for.
I’m certainly grateful that Loddon has such a strong
and commi"ed team of councillors and staff to work
with our local communi!es in bringing about posi!ve
and s!mula!ng change.

THE WELCOME RECORD
The Dunolly Football Netball Club has pulled off one of
the biggest local coaching coups in recent memory,
signing former AFL player Shaun Smith as senior
football coach for the 2015 Maryborough Castlemaine
District Football Netball League season.
Shaun had a decorated career featuring for North
Melbourne in the late 1980's and finishing his career
with Melbourne in the late 1990's. Shaun is o%en
remembered for his mark of the century against the
Brisbane Bears in 1995.
DFNC football manager, Jamie Townsend, had a sit
down with Shaun and said he was extremely op"mis"c
and excited about what Shaun can bring to the club.
RESTORED RAILWAY STATIONS
As men"oned in a past issue of The Welcome Record,
there is an interest in restoring our Railway Sta"on in
Dunolly to use as an Arts/Community space.
VicTrack has a $5 million state-wide program to bring
old, disused sta"ons back to life. Pictured is Inglewood
Railway Sta"on that has been the recipient of
$750,000 towards the restora"on of their project to
use the sta"on as part of Inglewood and District Health
Service. The restora"on project will take approximately
three months.
This is good news for Dunolly as we could soon have
our sta"on restored. It shows what can be achieved in
a short space of "me and we could have our Arts space
sooner than we think.

‘ Shaun’s wealth of knowledge around set plays, team
dynamics and training will help the club develop, move
forward and add a whole new dimension to the
football department. He will bring some
professionalism to the club and the experience he has
at AFL level will really benefit our young group’.
Shaun, who has moved to the Dunolly area for work
based in Bendigo, is excited about the challenge of
developing the football department into a force and
leaving his print on a club which has the founda"ons to
be right up there.
Jamie Townsend is hopeful that Shaun will con"nue
with the club past his 12 month contract.
‘I don’t think you can do the job in 12 months. It’s a
long process developing these young players and
bringing them through the system. We would hope to
have Shaun for quite a bit longer, but at this stage it is
a 12 month contract because of his work
commitments. We hope that what he will bring to the
club this year can develop for another couple of years’.
Townsend added that the announcement of the
signing had also gathered a#en"on from the small
Dunolly community.
‘There is excitement building around Dunolly already,’
he said. ‘There hasn’t been this much talk in town
since the era a few years back where the boys were
playing off the finals. The crowds dwindled off a bit
this year and it’s not easy to get a crowd in when
you’re struggling to get compe""ve scores on the
board. But we are certainly hoping that with Shaun
coming to the club, and the way he can promote the
club, will certainly hold it in good stead.’
