ROSIE’S RAMBLE
Following up on last week’s bird story, I spoke to Gary,
the bird man of Carawah, about it. He had just come
back from the Otways which are the haunt of the white
goshawk. He confirmed that the bird I saw was one – a
bit out of its range – but occasionally seen up this way.
How do March flies know it’s March?
I read a recipe for a gluten-free cake the other day.
Among the ingredients were eight eggs and 200g of
butter! Really good for a gluten intolerance, but what
about the cholesterol?
I have often wondered about the ‘ant highways’ that
Vicki mentioned last week. I used to walk the dog in
the golf course and there are lots of ant roads in there
– quite wide and clearly visible. I also wonder how
many of those tiny feet are needed to make the roads
and for how long – years surely.
Is our Tony using volcanoes to get rid of unpopular
policies? It’s the only way I can see how something can
be dead, buried and cremated in that order. I do wish
people who make puns on the radio would cease and
desist from saying ‘Pardon the pun’. If it is good
enough, there is no need to bring a pun to everyone’s
attention. Take note Jon Faine!
I read in The Welcome Record a while back that the
State Government sent out 48,000 copies of the
Victorian Hunting Guide to registered hunters at the
start of the duck hunting season. What a splendid use
of taxpayers’ money! The article then went on to say
that all the information was on line anyway.

Sampling the Goods
We sampled some meals out on the long weekend just
gone. Friday night we sampled the menu at the
Bealiba Hotel and met the new owners, Ken and Lois.
Sunday saw us partaking of the good food on offer at
Wayawa Café in Tarnagulla and finishing off the
evening at our own Golden Grain in Dunolly. Great
food and service from all, now back to the kitchen for
me tonight, I guess.

DUNOLLY PROBUS CLUB
Dunolly and District Probus Club had a very
enjoyable outing on 14 March to Sorrento.
We left our clubrooms at 8.00am, stopping for
morning tea at Buninyong, then on to Queenscliffe,
where we had a drive past the Old Army Fort, shops
on the pier area and a picnic lunch in the park.
It was then time to board the ferry for a smooth sail
over to Sorrento where some members enjoyed the
beach area and others explored shops opposite and a
coffee while the more energetic strode up the hill to
the shopping centre before returning on the ferry for
home.

NOTES FROM OUR
COUNCILLOR
As previously reported, the shade sails at the swimming
pool in Dunolly will be in place for the next pool season.
I have been shown the plans for the shade sails and
they will cover the shallow end of the big pool and the
toddler’s pool. I have discussed this with other people
and we are all waiting in anticipation. The cost will be
around $37,450 but it will be well worth it. In other
news, it is good to see people using the tennis courts.
It’s great to see them used more. The Shire has also
done some work on the fences at the swimming pool. It
has improved the security at the pool, especially at
night time.
With regard to the footpaths, when the project people
get the information that they require, they will hold a
further meeting, so that we can discuss all the issues
together.
The standpipes at Dunolly and Bealiba appear to be
working well, as I am not hearing any complaints. We
would be in trouble if we didn't have them, but we live
in hope that the rains will come and fill the dams.
Lastly I wish the Dunolly ladies bowling team, all the
best in the final; go Dunolly!!

Five members went over to Avoca on Wednesday
4 March to celebrate our 68th birthday. We met at the
Olive and Lavender Café about 11.00am. We held a
short meeting to hear the news from the Group
Conference last month. The new Group President is

Secretary - Shirley Button; Group Treasurer - Wendy
Hewitt; Social Issues - Daryl O’Bryan; International
Secretary - Margaret Gaal.
International Day will be at Castlemaine on Sunday 26
April at the Ray Bradfield rooms. Two community

the War Memorial. We are asked to bring a casserole
and slice (for the branch- not one each) and a knitted
article for the raffle hamper.
After the meeting we enjoyed a lovely lunch, did some
shopping in the gift shop, had a look in the Sticky Beak
craft shop, then came home.
During the meeting, two of our members were
presented with their membership certificates and cards.
Next meeting is Wednesday 1 April (oh dear!).
Competitions are a flower and your favourite poem.

Maryborough revved up last weekend and hosted the
annual Vintage Motorcycle Club of Victoria’s Labour
Day long weekend rally.
The event draws vintage motorcycles and their
devoted owners from all over the state to
Maryborough and surrounds over four days.
Vintage Motorcycle Club of Victoria member,
Maryborough’s Graeme Collicoat co-ordinated the
rally, participating aboard his 1928 Harley Davidson.
‘It’s the biggest event the club runs for the year’, he
says. ‘We get 60 to 80 bikes which means more than
140 people’…..
From Clunes Karen and Mark Burns cruised to
Maryborough and the rally runs in Karen’s rare 1936
Triumph and Mark’s 1942 Harley with sidecar. The
Triumph took Mark seven years to restore and in the
process survived the couple’s Clunes garage getting
badly flooded in the 2010 flood....
Over 70 ‘vintage’ bikes went through Dunolly on both
Saturday and Sunday. To qualify as ‘vintage’ all
motorcycles must have been manufactured pre-1942.
The Sunday rally ended up at the Bendigo Vintage
Motor Bike club rooms at Llanelly. Apparently a good
time was had by all!

The Dunolly Gilbert & Sullivan Society will once again
“put on a show” as part of the Spring Fling Festival to
be held over the weekend of 10 and 11 October 2015.
The last Gilbert & Sullivan Festival we had two years
ago was a great success and generated a great deal of
community participation and benefitted the town as a
whole. We would like to repeat this wonderful
gathering of town spirit with community groups
taking part. The festival has already gained a
reputation of being a marvellous people’s event and
we hope to expand on it and make it bigger and
better. We ask for your encouragement and support
and to this end invite interested parties to lodge their
expression of interest.
Similarly, to be part of the actual performance of The
Gondoliers, we encourage all thespians to come and
strut their stuff. There are a number of lead roles:
tenor, baritone, bass; soprano, contralto and mezzosoprano, as well as a large chorus. You don’t need to
have a lot of experience, just a good voice and the
willingness to give it your best. Many of the existing
cast members had limited experience or had not
performed prior to our last festival, but we all
soldiered on and had a lot of fun. Come and give it a
try!
We do, however, require the company to be
committed to attending weekly rehearsals in Dunolly,
beginning in April (specific date TBA).
To lodge your interest, please contact Susan
Anderson 5468 1725 or 0410 407 009, or Rachel

THE WELCOME RECORD
We enjoyed a full program of singing and feasting over
the Labour Day Long Weekend in the old Foundry
building at Buckley’s of Dunolly. The special event was
to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the Melbourne
Gilbert and Sullivan Society (Gilbert and Sullivan Opera
Victoria). GSOV have performed at all of our Dunolly
Gilbert and Sullivan festivals, and have been very
generous to our local community so it was nice to be
able to offer them some hospitality in the
country. Many of the members camped in my
paddock (called the Savoy Gardens to make it sound
more special!) and enjoyed the perfect Dunolly
weather. Others went to the caravan park and the
motel. Our local G & S group was invited to join us,
and we were delighted to see Barb and Mike Watts
come along to join in the singing.
We had a celebratory dinner, speeches, sing-along in
the foundry and a Gala concert featuring all the great
choruses of G & S. Local pianist David Steed did a

superb job accompanying us in the Mikado, Trial by
Jury, Pirates of Penzance and numbers from all the
shows.
On Sunday afternoon, we had a large
audience and plenty of music scores for the audience
to sing along. We raised the roof.
Since 1936 the G & S company performed operas at
His Majesty’s Theatre, the Comedy Theatre, Kings
Theatre and Melba Hall – now performances are in the
Alexander Theatre Monash. Their next show is not a
G & S, but the Lehar operetta “The Merry Widow”. We
will look forward to their return for our Festival in
October.
Our visitors enjoyed the Market, and some joined in
the hymn singing at St John’s Church before the
concert, and others went to look at the old Cork Tree
and inspect the old buildings.
On Monday the
weather was ideal for a hit and giggle Cricket match in
the Savoy Gardens. I don’t think I hit the ball once, but
it was great fun. We finished off with a bbq lunch of
Dunolly Butcher Sausages. Dunolly locals were friendly
and welcoming, and I am sure my guests will talk about
this lovely weekend for years to come.

Tell us how, as a community, we can be best prepared
for reducing risk and recovering from disaster……
During February this year (2015), a small group of locals have been meeting to work out the best way to prepare
and recover from disasters and we would love your feedback.
Communities and individuals can be hit by many events including fires, floods, storms and heatwaves. Some
communities are better prepared to cope with and recuperate from disasters. We want to find out what would best
assist you or your neighbours to prepare for and survive an event and make Dunolly and Bealiba and surrounds a
more resilient community.
The following survey has been put together to gather your ideas and concerns regarding disaster preparedness and
recovery in and around Dunolly and Bealiba. The information that you provide will be used to draft a Community
Action Plan focusing on Disaster Risk Reduction and Recovery. It will be used to ensure we are better prepared as
a community in the case of floods, storms or bushfires in our area.
This process to assist individuals and communities to develop a Community Action Plan has been developed from
pilot studies conducted by the CFA. They found that locals were the best source of knowledge for what was needed
in communities to help reduce disaster risk. Your feedback is valued and will help our community to better prepare
and recover in the event of a disaster. Please take the time to complete the survey and return to the Dunolly RTC,
Bealiba Post Office or post to PO Box 8, Dunolly. Responding to this survey is completely voluntary, and it
provides an opportunity for you to have your views understood and collected into a comprehensive community plan.
This will maximize the way in which we can help our families, friends and other community members in the event of,
and leading up to, an emergency.
The key feature of this process is that it is produced by, and for, local community members.
Need help in completing this form or would like to discuss these questions further?
Steering committee members are available to work through this survey with you. For help, please feel free to
contact Lisa Mahon on 03 5468 1784 or Bill Best on 03 5496 3392 or email [email protected].

ST MARY’S MUSE
Most of the congregation attended the World Day of
Prayer at the Uniting Church last Friday. It was a very
moving service prepared by the women of the
Bahamas. The causes they asked prayers for showed
that the problems of people are universal. The washing
of the feet of two who attended was a reminder of
Jesus doing this for His disciples. The homily delivered
by Joy Turner was very thought provoking.
Making Church Matter leaflets were attached to the
Living Word this week, setting out the aims of this
initiative of the Parish.
Don’t forget Project Compassion.

THE WELCOME RECORD
PIECE OF HISTORY STOLEN
The theft of a treasured artefact from the TimorBowenvale Hall has deprived the local community of a
special part of its own history, the Hall’s president says.
The recent theft of the unique walking stick is just the thin
edge of the wedge in what has become an increasing
issue with vandalism and antisocial behaviour at the
venue when hired for some parties.
Hall Committee president, Martin Saul, says the problem
has become too hard to ignore after the treasured
walking stick was pinched during a party held there over
the weekend of 14 and 15 February.
“The stick was there the previous day and not there the
next,” the disgusted committee president says. “We’ve
notified the police about it.”
Mr Saul describes the walking stick in question as a piece
of “twisted, raw bush timber from out of the forest.”
While its monetary value is negligible, for long-time locals
its sentimental value is considerable, he says.
“It’s been there for about 50 years. It’s been part of the
Hall tradition.”
The stick, which has been displayed in brackets on the hall
supper room wall, had been an integral part of a muchtreasured annual community Christmas tradition that
started in the 1960s. “It was Santa’s walking stick,” Mr
Saul says.
“It was a great honour for a child to be nominated to
stand beside Santa and hold the stick while Santa handed
out the presents. The first Santa to use it in the 1960s was
Neil McKinley of Timor West and he was followed by Keith
Mottram.
“Whoever’s taken it has got a guilty conscience probably.
The person who hired the hall is devastated. The people
who hire the Hall are the ones putting their necks on the
line.”
Mr Saul says ongoing issues with antisocial behaviour and
petty vandalism arising when the Hall is hired out for
some parties has forced the committee to increase the
hiring bond.
While reliant on hiring out the venue to cover its upkeep
costs, the committee is now considering what further
measures to take. “The noise issues are always going to
be there and if that was the problem we could cope.”
11 March 2015
It’s the ongoing issues with petty and not-so-petty
vandalism that has the committee outraged.
Holes smashed in hall walls, guideposts pulled out,
bottles and rubbish strewn across the grounds and
surrounding public spaces are just some of the
unsavoury acts. Then there’s the vandalism of
neighbouring private properties, Mr Saul says. This has
included damage to letterboxes and other antisocial
behaviour.
While some parties and other types of functions are
problem-free, Mr Saul says the mere mention of certain
types of parties are now enough to worry the
committee.
“It’s been ongoing. It gives you the pip” he says. “I’d just
like to see the walking stick returned.”
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the
Hall Committee of Management on 5461 1894.

THE SANTA SHOW
COMMITTEE NEEDED
The Santa show started 10 years
ago with the very first show being
held in the Dunolly bike shop. Not
exactly a great venue for such an event but never the
less a great start. Since then the Santa show has
become what you see now: a highly organised and well
managed product with a lot of community support.
The problem is that the management and fundraising
has been old school. The majority of the funding over
the years came from patrons of the Royal Hotel. As
times move on, it has become clear that the Santa
Show needs to progress to a new level. Funding grants
need to be claimed and new people with fresh new
ideas need to step forward. The Santa Show and the
wrapping party have actually become too much and
too big for one person to manage.
A committee must be formed and made official. I will
not be directly active but will be there to provide any
information on any aspect of the structure of the show.
This can be ongoing if need be. I will officially convene
the first meeting of the Santa Show committee on
Monday night 16 March at 7.00pm. Anyone interested
who is serious about forming a strong productive
committee is welcome to present. (If you are only
interested in committee politics/factions then don't
bother turning up. I am not handing 10 years of work
to energy drainers).
The first venue will be my house and the committee
can then work out where they will meet thereafter. An
inventory etc will then be surrendered to the
committee. To confirm attendance and receive the
address, please call 0427 681 780 from midday until

THE WELCOME RECORD
11 March 2015
Extracts from the newsletter of the Goldfields
Estimated area of inundation compiled from Aboriginal story and contour map.
ABORIGINAL TSUNAMI STORY
The following article appeared in the Dunolly & Bet Bet
Shire Express of 2nd Sept 1870.
A correspondent of the Telegraph writes: - “The aborigines
have a legend which may have had some foundation in
reality. They aver that ‘long ago’ a great water (tidal wave)
came in to Leywhollot (Portland), but as the beach there
was too low to restrain it, it rolled on through the Nine Mile
Forest, devastating the country and destroying all animal
life. It, however, did not reach the summit of Yayah (Mount
Eccersley), where some aborigines were then encamped;
and they alone of a numerous tribe were left to tell the
dismal tale. The legend states that, previous to the wave,
Wombriknik (Scott’s Waterhole) was a great lake; and
Wangot (Oak Bank) the haunt of great birds, probably the
dipornis. At the time, Yallok (Crawford River) was a great
arm of the sea; and Banangil (Mount Vandyke) rose from
the plain in one night, and Pyrtpartee leapt up a day or two
after. Palawarra (Heywood) was a great swamp, and
Benwerrin (Mount Richmond) was on fire. There were great
wild beasts in the country then, and at Namburnburn
(Ettrick) there were some that the blackfellows dared not
encounter. The first blackfellow, the legend asserts, came
from where the sun sets, across the isthmus, which the tidal
wave destroyed; and when Mount Gambier begins to burn,
and the earth to shake, the tidal wave will come again.”
One interesting aspect of this story is the prediction of Mt
Gambier erupting followed by an earthquake. The
Aborigines connected a tsunami with both volcanic activity
and earthquakes. We now know that both can happen at
the same time and that either can cause a tsunami. So the
Aboriginal legend must be based on an eyewitness account.
There is no known geological evidence of a tsunami along
the coast near Portland. However, the south coast of
Western Australia near Albany has large rocks up to 300
tons that have been moved eastwards. Kangaroo Island also
has caves and whirlpools made by a tsunami. If so, a large
tsunami heading east would be particularly damaging when
it hit head on to the south east coast of South Australia.
MOLIAGUL CEMETERY
Kevin Esmore has provided us with some surveyors notes
held by the Public Record Office of Victoria. They show the
original burial ground complete with 93 graves in 1862. This
burial ground was less than ¼ acre. The Moliagul Cemetery
of 5 acres was surveyed around it. Once the cemetery was
gazetted a trust was appointed, books purchased and
records kept. In modern terms the burial ground is
approximately 30 x 66 m and lies 5 m from the northern
fence and 10 m from the western fence.
Those buried earlier can only be confirmed if their death
certificate states buried Moliagul Cemetery. We believe
some of the 93 graves are James Eddington 1856, Robert
McVicar (Canadian) 1856, John McNally 1856, Ah Shee
(Chinese) 1857, Yong Show (Chinese) 1857, D K Richards
1857, William Usher 1858, William Harris 1858, Louisa Light
1858, James Boundy 1859, John Stowe 1859, James Monroe
1859, John Hete (Maori) 1859, Langatila (Maori) 1859,
Hosker Schleeff 1859, Joseph Parker 1859, Hannah Dixon
1859, Charles Reason 1859, Robert Mills 1860, William
McGrath 1860, James McPherson 1860, Mary Ann Carey
1862 & Charles Chitten 1862.

THE WELCOME RECORD
TACKLING FAMILY VIOLENCE
Mayor Wendy McIvor stated “Central Goldfields Shire
Council and the community are, most importantly, taking
a collaborative approach to family violence.”
Recently Family Violence Statistics have been discussed in
the media. The level of family violence across Australia is
of great concern. In Victoria, women aged between 15
and 45 are more likely to suffer death or disability from
family violence than any other cause including smoking
and obesity.
In rural and regional Victoria, the incidence of family
violence is disproportionately high. The availability of
specialist services for women, children and men in these
communities is limited and difficult to access. Community
attitudes about family violence need to change in
Australia and this is particularly true in rural areas where
attitudes to gender equity are lagging behind those in
metropolitan areas.
Wendy McIvor also said that the Central Goldfields Shire
is aware of this issue and the impact it has on the
community, particularly on the safety of women and
children. In the shire the overall crime rates for crimes
against the person are relatively low but the majority of
this is family violence related. The shire had the second
highest number of family violence related police
attendances in the state when calculated against
population size in 2013-2014.
Within Central Goldfields the Go Goldfields initiative has
been working across the community and within services
to develop better ways of working with families. The local
Rotary and Zonta Clubs are taking an active role in this
area, starting and supporting increased community
awareness of Family Violence and how to respond. “This
is a complex area and we have much work to do to tackle
family violence, in how to prevent it and how we respond
early and effectively to it”, the Mayor advises.
Go Goldfield’s aim is to increase reporting for first reports
of family violence which would indicate an increased
confidence in the responses that are in place while
reducing the number of repeat offences. Over 2013 and
most of 2014 this was indeed the trend in the data. Over
recent months, however, the opposite has been
happening. “We believe this indicates a need for a
stronger and more accessible service response. Rotary
and Zonta are doing a great job in increasing community
awareness.
Wendy McIvor also stated, “We need to make sure that,
as awareness is increased and the corresponding demand
for services increases, the service system can respond.
“We need more and we need different. This is the current
focus of the Go Goldfields work. The strength that we
have is that we are working on it together.”
If you want to know more about what Go Goldfields is
doing to address Family Violence please call Sharon
Fraser, General Manager, Go Goldfields on 5461 0610.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
IN YOUR AREA
Neighbourhood Watch is a community based
crime prevention programme aiming to
reduce the incidence of preventable crime
such as burglary and theft and promote closer community
ties. The programme helps to inform and educate
residents with tips on security and safety and encouraging
us to report suspicious incidents to police. The ultimate
aim of NW is to promote a safe and secure environment
where we live.
Thanks to the committee filling the positions again at our
AGM last month. We are a small dedicated group and
always look forward to any resident attending our
monthly meeting at the Dunolly Bakery at 10.30am on the
third Wednesday of the month. Everyone is welcome to
come along have a coffee and discuss any problem and
pass details on to our local policeman.
MARK IT IN MARCH
The focus in March is on loss prevention and property
security. Neighbourhood Watch and Police strongly
recommend marking and engraving your valuables.
Marking is simple - in Victoria write or engrave the
letter ‘V’ followed by your licence number or phone
number. Police regard marking items as a stalwart in
assisting with burglary reduction. This acts as a deterrent
and makes it harder for offenders to dispose of stolen
property.
Photographing valuables such as jewellery, paintings,
crystal or glass ware, antiques, silverware or other
valuable items as a record will assist with insurance and
assist police in the event of solving a crime.
When photographing or filming your valuables place each
item next to a ruler, to provide a scale for establishing
proof of size. Also write a brief description of the item,
including any distinguishing marks or serial numbers on
the back of the photo. Keep videos and photos in a safe
place.
Always remember to follow your security around the
home keeping windows and doors locked when the
premises are unattended.
Dunolly Neighbourhood Watch
Thank you to all the poppy makers out there! The latest
tally is 130 but I know there are many more finished or
partly finished poppies on the way. Please keep crocheting,
knitting and sewing. There are a few kits left at the craft
shop, the Neighbourhood Centre and at The Welcome
Record Office or you can design and make your own.
We will need all poppies to put our display together by the
13th April which leaves just over four weeks to reach our
target of 500! Happy poppying everyone!!

THE WELCOME RECORD
FARMERS' MARKET SET TO CELEBRATE
The town of Talbot will burst into life once again on
Sunday 15 March as the hugely popular Talbot Farmers’
Market celebrates its 11th anniversary market.
For over a decade farmers, bakers, makers and growers
have gathered on the third Sunday of every month to
set up stall in the beautiful heritage precinct of Talbot.
From near and far visitors descend upon Talbot, friends
and families stroll the streets together, shopping bags
slung over their shoulders ready to be filled with fresh
locally grown goodies and gourmet products direct
from producers.
“The Talbot Farmers’ Market was founded over a
decade ago with seed funding from Victoria's
Department of Regional Development, plus financial
and in-kind contributions from local businesses and
individuals.” explains Jayne Newgreen, Marketing
Officer.
“This together with a barrow load of
dedication and energy from a group of passionate
locals brought the first market to life in March of
2004.” “We are really excited to recognise their hard
work and celebrate the ongoing success of the market.”
One of the founding group that brought the market to
life is Tiffany Titshall. A fine artist, designer and
passionate foodie Tiffany’s contribution to the market’s
success ranged from early mornings setting up roadside
signs to designing the market’s beautiful artichoke
logo, which has become synonymous with the Talbot
Farmers’ Market. "I visit Talbot Farmers' Market every
month,” says Tiffany. “I never miss coffee and yum cha
whilst picking up fresh veg and bread. I love to take
weekend guests to the market. The town charms them
and the size and quality of the market surprises them.”
“I love the atmosphere of the market - the music, the
people and the variety of stalls.” Tiffany goes on to say.
“As a designer I particularly appreciate the attention to
detail, quality and style that new food producers
present in their branding, and to see that flanked with
straw, chooks and veg straight from the soil in the back
of a truck is the best of everything to me.”
Reflecting on how the market has changed over the
past 11 years Tiffany says, “The market has certainly
evolved. It has grown and spread along Talbot's streets
and the crowds have followed. I am proud of the role I
played when I see the market flourishing. I am always
looking forward to what's on offer next month".
The ongoing success and longevity of the Talbot
Farmers’ Market can be attributed to many factors,
including the passionate local volunteers who work
tirelessly to make the market happen each month
together with two part-time employees who coordinate and promote the market. The market would
11 March 2015
not be possible without the customers who choose to
come along and support local farmers and of course
the passionate producers, who attend the market
every month with their produce proudly presented on
the market stall tables.
Long-time stall holder Frank sells stone-fruit,
tomatoes, grapes and cherries seasonally at the
market and while he could sell all of his produce at the
farm gate he still chooses to attend the Talbot
Farmers’ Market when the fruit is in season. “My
customers wouldn’t let me get away with not
attending the market” says Frank with a smile on his
face, giving you the impression he would miss catching
up with old friends and customers as much as they
would miss buying his fruit.
“A day at the Talbot Farmers’ Market is not complete
without picking up a raffle ticket for your chance to
win the hugely popular ‘Barrow Raffle’,” says Lee
Holland, the market’s Co-Ordinator. The wheel
barrow overflows each month with produce and
products, kindly donated by the stall holders. Raffle
tickets are just $2 each and are available from the
information marquee in front of London House on
Scandinavian Crescent.
To complete the vibrant village atmosphere live music
is played in the streets on market day. This month,
local musician Kim Ritchie will entertain the crowds.
Although blind since birth, through her passion for
singing and enjoyment in sharing her love of music
with others, Kim has become a very accomplished
entertainer.
Come along to Talbot on Sunday 15 March (9am 1.00pm) and share in the celebration of the milestone
market day!

APPLICATIONS TO UPSKILL YOUTH
NOW OPEN
Businesses and community organisations in Wannon can
now apply for support to boost the skills of youth under
youth stream pilot programmes through the Industry Skills
Fund.
Member for Wannon, Dan Tehan said the Training for
Employment Scholarships and Youth Employment Pathways
are new ways of delivering skilled young employees to
businesses in Wannon.
“Our Government is pursuing innovative ways to address
youth unemployment by undertaking two youth pilot
programmes that will meet the needs of business while also
assisting young people to get back into school, start
vocational education and training (VET) or move into the
workforce,” Mr Tehan said.
“These initiatives will help not only Wannon businesses and
young people, but also the community as a whole,
particularly at this time of high youth unemployment. Under
the Training for Employment Scholarships, up to 7,500
scholarships of up to $7,500 for youths aged 18-24 are
available to micro, small and medium businesses who hire
an unemployed person for 12 months to support the costs
of training that makes them work ready.
“The Youth Employment Pathways programme will provide
assistance to 3,000 youth who are not in work, training or
school. Eligible community service organisations can receive
funding of up to $2,000 to support 15 to 18 year olds, to get
back into school, start VET or move into the workforce.
“Trialling the pilot programmes in selected regions ensures
future youth programmes are effective and are linked to
outcomes. Unlike Labor we are not training for training’s
sake but investigating the optimal ways to get young
unemployed Australians into work,” Mr Tehan said.
Wannon businesses and community service organisations
have until 29 February to apply through the online
application form. For more information or to apply, visit:
www.business.gov.au/youthstream or call 13 28 46.

March is not a good planting month; it is too late for
some plants and too early for others. However there
is some work to be done in the garden beds. Most
early-sown plants are spent by now and the bed
needs to be re-fertilised and turned over ready for
next season’s crop. Some soils are inclined to form a
fine crust on the surface that will not let much air or
water penetrate to the roots of the plants. It does
need some rough material like sand or even fine rock
screenings added. Compost is the answer, but to
cover a whole garden with compost is almost
impossible, for each year compost will rot away, then
next year is needed again. With my experience with
soil, once sand is added to it, it is there for all time. It
makes root veggies easy to pull up at harvest time. I
have taken notice during my travels, where there is
sandy loam soil, veggies do thrive. If any gardener
wishes to continue planting veggies, there are some
that can go in the soil this month. Seeds that can be
sown this month are better in the soil while it is still
warm. Baby carrots are a sweet tender root, they can
be used at an early stage or can be left in the soil to
grow to normal size. Good fresh plants of broccoli
and cauliflower can still be planted out. These plants
are very adaptable to season conditions; they will
make good heads well into springtime. Paleface
cauliflower is the most adaptable. Dwarf beans sown
now can still result in a good crop. A light frost on
matured plants does not do them any harm. Do not
leave matured pods on the plants or else very few
new pods will form. Even if they are not used, pick
them just the same. Also do not leave cucumbers on
plants when they are mature or they will go soft and
turn a yellow looking colour. Do not leave white
onions in the sun or wind. When removed from the
soil they will turn green on the outside layers,
therefore much of the flesh is wasted. Other seeds to
sow this month are silver beet, radish, beetroot,
lettuce and white onion seeds. For harvested
potatoes, store in a jute bag and keep in a dark, cool
place; if exposed to sun and wind they soon go green
and useless.
Happy Gardening
