the story

By Helen Tatchell
“Kindness is the greatest gift you can
give someone,” and was one of the most
important things her parents had taught her,
Jacinta Guirguis told the 200-strong crowd in
Ballan on Australia Day.
Ms Guirguis was declared Moorabool’s
Young Citizen of the Year at a civic reception.
The university student is also a singer/
songwriter and raises funds for a variety of
charities each month by ‘charity busking’.
“I thank the community. Without you I
cannot do what I do,” she said.
It was a day dedicated to volunteers,
acknowledged for all the work they do.
Mayor David Edwards described their work
as priceless.
“It is a small part of the Australian culture;
we all may take it for granted yet we
sometimes pay little attention to it; and that
is volunteering.
“You cannot put a figure on it,” he said.
“It is estimated in Moorabool 40-per cent
of people give a minimum, a minimum of
15-hours a year in volunteer time. That is
around 220,000 hours of volunteer time in
Moorabool, in a year.
“You cannot put that into dollar terms, and
what I want you to think about, is what if you
didn’t have those volunteers?” Cr Edwards
said.
“Australia Day, what better time to recognise
our volunteers. It has its positives; engaging
and active within a community; quite often
it is a pathway for getting a job or training
which helps people develop new skills.
“How would this community be without
volunteers in our 61-towns and hamlets
within Moorabool?”
Cr Edwards said nearly all the clubs and
organisations are run by volunteers.
“Our recreation reserves look the way they
do because of volunteers; our charity shops
are full of volunteers, but as I head home
there could be a tree down and guess what,
here comes the SES, volunteers. Then I see
the local fire brigade going out on a public
holiday call out, again all volunteers. We
have an enormous amount,” he said.
“Volunteers in a community, really build
strong communities.”

“I don’t do it for that,” he said.
Eleven certificates of Appreciation were

families who allow them to do what they do
best.
“Anyone who doesn’t volunteer, I suggest
you give it a go.”

received the Citizen of the Year award,
saying he was humbled and honoured.
“I do dedicate this to the many hundreds
of worthwhile and unpaid volunteers, who I
have had the privilege of working alongside
over many years, and they are the people
that have taught me I think, to be a good

Speaking of citizens, Australia Day in
Moorabool welcomed a record 55-new
citizenship applications.
Member for Ballarat Catherine King
congratulated all for making such an
important decision.
“You are formalising your connection to
this country.
“We live in a beautiful place, not only our
landscape, but the people that live here,” she
said.
Inaugural Australia Day Ambassador
Simone Carson AM said the new citizens
were taking part in a life changing event.
“You have made a choice freely.
“Australia Day is also an opportunity to
say thank you. How fortunate we are. This
land allows opportunity to all and is a day to
reflect how we can give back and make this
country better,” she said.

A straight stretch of road in Moorabool has nearly claimed
the life of a man after his van crashed into a tree.
Victoria Police told the Moorabool News it was a single
vehicle accident on Gisborne Road at Coimadai.
“The sole occupant of the vehicle collided with a tree on
Friday 17 January at around 6.25pm.
“The driver was a 26-year old male who was airlifted by the
Ambulance Victoria helicopter with serious, but non-life-
threatening injuries,” the VicPol spokesperson said.
Ambulance Victoria said paramedics were called to the
scene and the man was flown to the Royal Melbourne
Hospital in a serious condition.
“Injuries sustained where to his upper and lower body.”
The road was closed in a north and south direction with a
number of vehicles delayed.
CFA media told the Moorabool News both CFA and SES
units did attend the single-vehicle crash and “worked to
extricate one person from the car.”
The man was trapped inside with photos showing the
vehicle coming to rest on its side after colliding with the tree.

Once an ‘unacceptable risk’,

court.
The 54-year old returned to court for a
bail application after spending the last
seven-months in custody.
Mr Aquilina, head shaved and
dressed in a white t-shirt and pants,
clearly showed a healthy weight gain
and a calm demeanour. He was also
supported in court by family members
including a sister and brother.
Previously Mr Aquilina was refused
bail as he was described as an
“unacceptable risk”.
Nine charges are pending, dating
back to 5 May 2018 with his lawyer
asking the court on Friday 17 January
for Magistrate Bob Kumar to consider
granting bail, saying that he has “new
facts and circumstances” that would
support Aquilina’s request.
Police Prosecutor Sgt Ivan Blomley
summarised the nine pages of
offending that included “stalking a
female councillor Tonia Dudzik”.
Bromley told the court Dudzik was
conducting a community sausage
sizzle outside Wilson’s Hardware in
Maddingley when she felt a “sharp jab
in her back”.
“Dudzik looked around with Aquilina
present, however she could not say
for sure if it was the accused,” the
prosecutor said.
Aquilina’s lawyer said his client is a
“vulnerable adult with physical and
mental impairment[s]”, after sustaining
an acquired brain injury earlier on in
life, the court heard.
Magistrate Kumar told Aquilina he
has a very experienced lawyer.
“You have spent six-months in
custody, if you want to take the matter
to a contested hearing, there is no
guarantee you get a longer sentence –
you understand that?”
“I would be happy with that,” Aquilina
replied.
“Common sense should prevail. This
matter could be resolved,” Magistrate
Kumar said.
Aquilina was granted bail, with strict
conditions, a $5000 surety and was
Magistrate Kumar was made aware by
the prosecution that Aquilina’s house
had burnt down whilst he has been in
custody.
The accused’s lawyer said there is a
shed on the property.
“Can he reside in the shed?”, the
Magistrate asked.
“He also has a caravan, the family will
be bringing it down from Shepparton,”
the lawyer said.
Magistrate Kumar asked Aquilina
to stand and said any breach and you
come back to court.
“You would be a very foolish man if
you do. Do you understand”? he said.
“I do your Honour, thank you.”
Aquilina replied.
Moorabool Council were asked if
under their own by-laws, is it legal
for a person to ‘camp’ on a residential
property with no visible amenities
ie toilet, shower connected running
water?
“This is a very complex matter and
Council is working through how
best to resolve it in the interests of
neighbouring residents and the
property owner,” a spokesperson
replied.

Bacchus Marsh is the most popular suburb for crime in
Moorabool, according to the latest data.
The end-of-year statistics for 2019, released by the Crime
Statistics Agency (CSA) showed Bacchus Marsh as the hot
spot for crime, with 546 recorded criminal incidents for the
year ending September 2019.
Darley came in second with 325 incidents, followed by
Maddingley (221), Ballan (155) and Gordon (24).
Houses were the most common location that crimes
occurred.
‘Other theft’ was the most popular principal offence
subgroup, followed by criminal damage, stealing from a
motor vehicle, breach of family violence order and residential
non-aggravated burglary.
Although there was a slight decrease in 2019 for criminal
incidents in Moorabool (1603) compared to 2018 (1747), state-
wide statistics have risen.
CSA Chief Statistician Fiona Dowsley said that “the number
of alleged offenders processed by Victoria Police [state-wide]
has been increasing over the last several years.”
“Since the year ending September 2015 the number of alleged
offender incidents recorded has increased 14.5%,” she said.

Bacchus Marsh author Wayne Marshall is celebrating the publication of his short story collection Shirl
(inset). Photo – Helen Tatchell.
Don’t judge a book
by its cover
By Meg Kennedy
He was shortlisted for his unpublished
manuscript in 2019; 12-months later, Wayne
Marshall is a published author.
The Bacchus Marsh resident, who also co-
organises the annual Peter Carey Short Story
Awards, is celebrating the release of his book
Shirl, which officially hit bookshelves today
(Tuesday, 28 January).
Shirl is a collection of dark-humoured short
stories, that take a range of what-if scenarios
to their fabulist and comedic extremes,
touching on the broader questions of
Australian identity and masculinity.
Mr Marshall answered questions for the
Moorabool News about his new book.
You began writing Shirl in 2013. How have
the stories developed in that time?
I began working on Shirl in the winter of
2013, but it was a slow start. I’d given up
writing at the time after an unsuccessful
attempt at a novel, and was undergoing
treatment for cancer.
Once my health improved, I was able to
write more. But it wasn’t until 2015 that I
started producing some of the stories that
appear in Shirl. At the end of that year one of
those stories was published, which gave me
an enormous confidence boost.
Is there a story in Shirl that has really
stuck with you?
My favourite story in the collection is
probably ‘Gibson’s Bat ‘n’ Ball’. It follows the

Laurels Education
and Training
welcomes the new year in with a
fresh new look. Formerly known
as Bacchus Marsh Community
College, the Board of Directors
decided to rebrand to provide
a more unique and streamlined
identity.
Since it was established over
30 years ago, the College has
always been known locally as
“The Laurels” with Bacchus Marsh
Community College being the legal
name since 2008. As Bacchus
Marsh Community College is very
close in name to Bacchus Marsh
College there have been some
instances of confusion for clients
of both organisations.
The change of name came into
effect on 1st January, 2020 – all
other details of the organisation
will remain the same. The new name and logo are displayed on the bright
new signs that have been installed at ‘The Laurels’. It is anticipated that
the new name will make the college more easily identifiable to members
of the community and promote a crisp professional look.
Laurels Education and Training (LET) provides quality training locally
and is the only Registered Training Organisation in Bacchus Marsh.
Opportunities are always available for new courses. Therefore, if you
have a skill you would like to share and teach to others please contact
the office to discuss possibilities.
Staff at LET look forward to an exciting and busy 2020.

LIFE WAS GOOD …. THEN LOOMING DEATH APPROACHED
Disaster on the door step
By Helen Tatchell
A new, warmer and healthier life in New South Wales
has been home to two former Ballan residents for the
last two-years. It all changed in a blink of an eye to a
fight for survival.
John and Leone Fabre lived in Ballan for a number of
years before finding just the right climate and town in
the small community of Lake Conjola.
Situated on the south coast and just three-hours south
of Sydney, it is not a name many would be familiar with,
until last year when a mammoth bushfire ravaged the
area with ferocity. It did not discriminate.
Lake Conjola is surrounded by National Parks and the
lake is connected to the ocean, just 2 kilometres from
the Fabre’s new home, in a brand new Over 55-lifestyle
community.
“We want to let our friends back in Ballan and district
to know we are safe,” Ms Fabre told the Moorabool
News.
“We are well and recovering physically from fatigue
and mentally from the vast devastation to so many
people in our community,” she said.
The Fabre’s had been on a short pacific cruise and
returned on Boxing Day last year. The trip south back
home saw heightened alerts and road-blocks for the
expanding bushfire, and never did they imagine just
five days later they would be actually in the line of fire,
literally.
“On the bus trip home, it was dark, and the flames
were visible. The glow of fires surrounded us on our
journey,” Ms Fabre said.
“Rural Fire Service (RFS) units had hoses spread across
the road and men moved in all directions, attacking
fires which had engulfed large mature trees.”
Ms Fabre said the experience was, in hindsight, “the
first early warning of the unforgiving force to hit our
area on New Year’s Eve.”
They had become accustomed, but not complacent, to
‘Watch and Act’ alerts from the RFS.
“Those alerts remained current on the morning of
New Year’s Eve and road closures were already in place.
Those that had left to do shopping were not allowed
back and had to seek refuge in nearby Ulladulla.
“We noticed smoke mid-morning over distant hills
and decided to gather in our Clubhouse. It was too late
to leave.”
Ms Fabre described the Clubhouse as a modern steel
construction and large enough to provide refuge to
residents in the lifestyle community.
“We had the guidance of two veteran fire fighters
and SES residents who had shared a plan to stay and
defend. As residents were arriving to take shelter
in the Clubhouse raging flames became evident as
the deafening roar of the moving inferno engulfed
mountains around us.”
Nothing had prepared them for the black belching
smoke that significantly reduced visibility. Some
residents were not well and feared the worse.
“Fires surrounded the rear of the Clubhouse and
the heat inside was intense. The fire alarms blared as
smoke made its way inside,” Ms Fabre said.
“We had lost almost all contact with the outside world.
We were under-siege of an event so monstrous we
feared the worst. It was the most frightening experience
of our lives.”
It was to get worse.
Husband John and a couple of others left the clubhouse
in 4x4 vehicles to make sure everyone was accounted
for. By then one house was engulfed in flames and
threatening the house next to it.
“By the time I got to our home, garden mulch had
caught alight and burning the base to the front of our
home and four other nearby houses. As I ran with the
hose in hand to extinguish these fires, cars that were
garaged in the homes that had set alight, exploded.
Nearby to our home a car had been quickly reversed
from the garage on fire. It exploded in the middle of the
road. At the height of putting the fires out - we ran out
of water,” Mr Fabre said.
“The whole of the Lake Conjola community had run
out of water.”
Mr Fabre said the RFS arrived and a fire-bombing
helicopter that put out the house fires.
“It flattened it in seconds, preventing fires from
Email - news@themooraboolnews.com.au
engulfing other homes. In the meantime, ambulances
started to arrive at the Clubhouse to provide emergency
assistance where needed. Leone stayed indoors
knowing to minimise respiratory difficulties,” he said.
Little did they know that by the time the fire had
reached their community it had already destroyed 122
homes within 10km of them and several people had
died from cardiac arrest and smoke inhalation.
Nearby Conjola Park lost 89 homes with the fire so
intense, houses had fused together.
Mr Fabre said by mid-afternoon on New Year’s Eve
when they went back to their home they realised “how
blessed they were.”
“Two houses out of 90, and only three cars destroyed.
“No lives were lost in our lifestyle community. Brave
or foolish we survived.
“People walked about in a state of shock, some angry
and inconsolable. How could we have lost water? Why
was it that when I contacted ‘Triple-000’ they were not
even aware of a fire in Lake Conjola? Why was there no
RFS fire units in our area - they had all be sent south to
protect another town? “Mr Fabre said.
“Answers don’t matter right now. What mattered was
attending to the needs of others.”
No one could predict just three days later the
nightmare would continue with catastrophic fires
expected any day. Roads were literally clogged with
thousands of holiday makers who had not adhered to
earlier warnings to leave.
“It took 24-hours with queues 20km long to clear these
coastal communities.
Two homes destroyed - only one available fire appliance at the time.
“We left after police advised that the fire had intensified Photo – Leone Fabre
in the region and no safety could be assured.”
The pair took their motorhome and car, and whatever
they could gather in haste, and headed to friend’s in
Ulladulla.
“Leone was showing significant signs of distress,
her breathing impaired by the smoke, our lives more
important than our home that I managed to save.
“We had already been burnt, the undergrowth in the
forest was gone. We did fear for more ember attacks
however we knew it was time to leave. The power was
out; communication almost non-existent; there were no
supplies coming in and no water.”
The nightmare of seeing the once beautiful forest
totally charred and irrevocably incinerated is beyond
belief, but there were more distressing scenes.
“To see wildlife ablaze trying to escape is horrific
enough but to also see the vast destruction beckoned
our wildest imagination,” Mr Fabre said.
Seven days later they regained their strength and
returned home. They were now ready for the clean-up
process.
“Disaster Recovery and Insurance companies have
been extremely supportive. We will repair our home,
clean inside but it will take years to rebuild this idyllic
community that had become our very special corner of
the world. Never before had we seen so many people in
such distress. The Shoalhaven Shire had experienced
the largest amount of burnt forest in all of NSW. The John and Leone Fabre are former Ballan residents and survived the

properties and lives,” Mr Fabre said.
Both John and Leone Fabre now work as volunteers
within their lifestyle and the broader Conjola
community, supporting the Recovery effort on a scale
never previously thought possible.
Mr Fabre said they saw generosity never before
thought possible from local, interstate and global
organisations.
“It took a catastrophic disaster to showcase our
humanity.
“Our hamlet community featured in London, New
York and elsewhere. Container loads of items began
to arrive to provide for those who had lost everything
including loved ones.”
He said this small community will rebuild with a
united spirit.
“We are after-all, Australians,” he said.
The Fabre’s had one message for those in the Moorabool
community.
“We thank you for messages of support. Your
thoughts and well wishes have not gone un-noticed or
unappreciated.
“In time, please come and visit Lake Conjola and Remains of a car exploding two houses from us in the middle of the
surrounds,” they said. road. Photo – Leone Fabre

A place to call home

New modular buildings
in Bacchus Marsh will al-
low rough sleepers to find a
place to call home, following
the installation of units in
Queens Crescent, Bacchus
Marsh last year.
Minister for Housing Rich-
ard Wynne visited the new
modular units on Thursday,

19 December 2019, built by
the State Government as
part of its $17 million Rough
Sleepers Package.
The homes, which have
been operating since July
2019, a step towards long-
term stable housing.
There are five modular
units for tenants in Bacchus
Marsh, with a separate unit
to accommodate support
staff to give tenants the tar-
geted assistance they need to
turn their lives around.
Assertive outreach workers
are already active in Bacchus
Marsh, providing mobile as-
sessments and support.
“These units will play a crit-
ical role helping people who
have been sleeping rough
get back on their feet so they
can turn their lives around,”
said Minister for Housing
Richard Wynne.
“Homelessness can be
caused by a range of factors.
Our housing teams will play
a key role helping rough
sleepers with their own indi-
vidualised plans to end their
homelessness,” he said.

McGhie said “everyone de-
serves a place to call home.”
“These units offer shelter for
people experiencing home-
lessness, while the support
of our housing teams will
help individuals transition
into permanent homes.”
Although State Govern-
ment-approved, in April
2019 former Moorabool Shire
mayor Cr Paul Tatchell said
the units “don’t fit within
the current Council Urban
planning strategy, and cer-
tainly not without public
consultation.”
A spokesperson for the State
Government told the Moora-
bool News “…the depart-
ment and service provider
have regularly consulted
with the local community on
this project.”
The Rough Sleepers Package
is part of the State Govern-
ment’s Homelessness and
Rough Sleeping Action Plan,
which includes more than
$45 million towards projects
and initiatives to help break
the cycle of homelessness.
Family feud
By Caitlin Bewley
(3rd Yr Swinburne Uni)
A man just wanting to pick up his dog from his dad’s house
resulted in an argument with his brother who told the
accused to “show some respect.”
The court heard 49-year-old Andrew Jensz attended his
family property in Parwan to collect his dog in September
2019 when a verbal altercation escalated with his brother.
Prosecutor Sergeant Ivan Blomley told the court on Friday
17 January, the verbal dispute turned physical when the
accused “punched the victim to the right side of the head as
he walked away.”
“Jensz then allegedly continued to verbally abuse the victim
whilst he was on the phone to police, soon after leaving the
property with the dog,” he said.
The accused was later interviewed by police where he said
the “victim stole a tank.”
Sgt Blomley tole Magistrate Bob Kumar the accused went on
to tell police “if I’m pushed to a certain point by my family,
especially my dad and brother, I get angry and I act out.”
“[The accused and victim] haven’t spoken for four years,”
the accused’s lawyer told the court. “When he turned up [to
the property] he saw his brother and his partner removing
[Jensz’s] property.”
“He acted out of frustration,” the accused’s lawyer continued.
Magistrate Kumar convicted and fined Jensz a sum of $500.

Story telling was one activity at the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander
Children’s Day. Photo - MSC
I am, you are,
we are Australian
They are all part of the story and
with Australia Day celebrated the
Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander
Children’s Day (ATSI), was also cel-
ebrated last year (2019).
More than 150 children, parents,
carers, teachers and friends shared
a traditional Welcome to Country
(led by Aboriginal Elder, Uncle Da-
vid from the Wurundjeri Mob) and
a smoking ceremony.
Moorabool Shire Council’s Child,
Youth & Family Services team, to-
gether with several other services,
hosted the morning at the Dar-
ley Civic & Community Hub last
August.
The theme for the Day was, ‘We
Play, We Learn, We Belong’, sup-
porting the knowledge that strong
cultural systems and support net-
works are crucial to the healthy de-
velopment of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander children.
Children and adults alike partici-
pated in boomerang throwing, art
activities and story-telling, while
the ever-supportive Bacchus Marsh
Lion’s Club providing refreshments.
A wedge-tailed eagle (known to
the Aboriginal people as Bunjil)
watched the scene from above, per-
haps flying over to remind the chil-
dren of the importance and value of
nature and Aboriginal culture.
The A&TSI Children’s Day event
was a collaborative effort between
Council’s Best Start Partnership,
Council’s Recreation & Commu-
nity Development team, Djerri-
warrh Health’s Babaneek Booboop
Program, the Aboriginal Literacy
Foundation and Kirrip Aboriginal
Corporation.

Bacchus Marsh Lions Club – Encouragement Awards 2019

You may wonder where not-for-profit groups spend their
money; one local volunteer organisation dishes out a nice
purse of their funds raised to primary schools every year.
The Bacchus Marsh Lions Club raises money through a
variety of events including, but not limited to, sausage
sizzles, raffles and the cash-a-can project.
At the end of the 2019 school year Lions members attended
schools in their district, awarding certificates and cash cards
as part of their annual Encouragement Awards, to Grade
Six students at their graduation ceremony, who begin their
secondary education in 2020.
Lions spokesperson Len Murfitt said the schools decide how
many awards and the nature of such.
“We frame the certificates and provide a total amount of
$300 each to the larger primary schools and $250 to a couple
of the smaller ones,” he said.
The Lions school program has been running continuously
since 1981.

Back in the saddle

By Meg Kennedy
An old saying states if you get bucked
off the horse you must get back on;
Kelly Frost has done just that. However,
it was not a horse that caused her to
become a paraplegic.
It wasn’t a Good Friday for Ms Frost
19-years ago, her life changed forever
on that superstitious Friday 13.
The Gordon resident, 15-years-old at
the time, was seriously injured in a
head-on car collision along Gisborne
Rd Coimadai.
But that wasn’t the end of her journey.
In 2016, Ms Frost discovered she had
an aneurysm near her heart.
A stent was put in, which later blocked
and cut off all blood supply to her waist,
causing a major heart attack and a heart
condition.
This resulted in Ms Frost becoming
a T10 incomplete paraplegic, with just
a two percent chance of regaining
anymore movement in her legs.
“The physios told me they think [I
can regain movement], but the doctors
told me no…that there’s a two percent
chance of regaining anything more
than what I left rehab with,” she said.
“I’ve gained more since I’ve left rehab,
but…it’s just work, work, work and see
what we can get.”
Having always grown up around
horses, Ms Frost was determined to
ride again.
This led her to Equine Pathways
Australia, a not-for-profit organisation
that works towards getting people with
muscular and strength issues back into
riding.
“I’ve been thinking of returning to
riding, just as a pleasure thing, and I
was put onto Julia at Equine Pathways
Australia,” she said.
After some time back in the saddle, Ms
Frost has set her sight at representing
Australia in the 2022 World Equestrian
Games in Denmark.
In preparation for the event, Ms Frost
explained she will be doing some
local events this year, but needs to be
classified before she can compete.
The level system for para-equestrian
riders ranges from Grade 1 up to Grade
5 – the latter being a walk-only test, to
a ‘Grand Prix’ level riding style in the
former.
Ms Frost said she is looking at
competing in Grade 3, which involves a
walk, trot, lateral work and canter.
As for why horse riding is so important
to her, Ms Frost said it “gives me
something to do every day and get out
of bed.”
She trains regularly with well-known
riders, including Paralympic gold
medallist Joann Formosa, and could
soon be competing against Australian
Paralympic rider Emma Booth.
“Obviously I enjoy it, it’s my hobby.
I’ve got four kids and they’re all school-
aged, so now that I’m not able to work as
much as I used to be able to…I just need
something else to keep me occupied, so
I enjoy it a lot,” she said.
Even after everything she’s been
through, Ms Frost believes that if it
were a different outcome, she would
not be in the position she is now.
“If it was a different situation, I would
never have done it. I don’t think I would Kelly Frost on Chance E, an athlete horse at Equine
be where I’m at,” she said. Pathways Australia. Photo - supplied

regional Victoria.
Bendigo (26.4%) and Port-

sistent performers having
achieved the highest growth
out of any regional Victorian
suburbs over the past year.
With sales increasing and
values climbing, many own-

return to form following a
brief period of uncertainty.
These results are great news
for property owners, those
that have invested their
hard-earned money in Victo-

seeing phenomenal returns.
Victoria continues to also
court the attention of inves-

Softened lending practices

amount of interest from buy-

purchase property.
Now is a great time to sell
a property, prices are grow-

the low days on market and
high auction clearance rates,
homes are on the market for
a short time.

seller is looking for objective

MELBOURNE HOUSE PRICES SINCE 1970 (LAST 50 YEARS)
House prices have increased or remained stable 45 of the last 50 years. Of the 5 years of negative growth, 3
of the years reduced by less than 5%.
WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN?
House prices have never been this expensive and will never be this cheap again!
House prices actually grew slower over the last two decades than they did in the 3 previous decades.
Income levels have not been keeping up with house prices and the gap is getting bigger.
The local market has picked up & a lot of great results are being achieved.

Lions juggernaut rolls on
By Todd Whelan
Darley Cricket Club
Darley remains undefeated in season 2019/20 following a 19-
run win over Napoleons-Sebastopol at the weekend.
After the Lions were ‘sent in’ on a slow Darley Park wicket,
they were soon in trouble losing Hayden Jamieson (3) and
Harry Killoran (0) before Danza Hyatt (34) and newly
promoted Jake Wilkie steadied the ship to put on 52 for the
third wicket. Ryan Ali (0) went first ball thereafter with a
rare fail, throwing the momentum back in the favour of the
visitors. Wilkie (42), captain Bradley Barnes (19), Mitch Ward
(13) and a run-a-ball cameo 35 from Hasi Wickramasinghe
saw the Lions reach 8/153 from their 50 overs.
In reply, the Lions effort with the ball and in the field proved
once again the matchwinner. If there were any doubts judging
their greatest strength be it with bat or ball, the numbers
will tell you, it’s more likely the latter. While Napoleons-
Sebastopol toiled their way 8/134, the target must have felt Photos Tim Sultry
like 200 at times. The Lions top four bowlers strangled the
top order especially, to combine with four wickets from
their 35 overs. Add 14 maidens and an economy rate at less
than two runs per over (1.94) into the mix and you would
be forgiven to think you were at a two-day game, certainly
not the 50 over version we’re used to. Interestingly, to Naps-
Sebas credit it would be just the third time in 2019/20 in any
format (BCA), the Lions haven’t bowled out their opposition.
The Lions attack were again backed up superbly in the field,
giving just one chance in the air while securing two key run
outs.
While happy with the hard-fought nature of the win, Lions
coach Brian Wheelahan conceded stronger challenges lay
ahead.
“We have a tough couple (of games) in front of us now,” he
said.
“It’s back to 80 over cricket, where the finals are won.
“With Mount Clear (2nd), Wendouree (4th) and Brown
Hill (6th) to close out the season, it gives us the perfect
opportunity to hone our skills ahead of finals.”
Mount Clear have lost just one of their home games this
season, a nail-biting one wicket loss to Brown Hill. Saturday’s
home advantage should be an added boost for the mindset of BACCHUS MARSH
Mount Clear and their vision of causing an upset. Despite the
Lions unbeaten season record thus far, this top of the table
clash may end up closer than first thought.

Bulls get points, Ballan Cricket Club

but miss outright
Bacchus Marsh Cricket Club
By Bruce Thomas
With only two games being played by the top teams, all eyes
were focussed on the McIntyre and Johnstone Shield games.
The Bulls were looking for an outright victory against St
Anthony’s in McIntyre Cup on what promised to be an
enthralling day of cricket. The game didn’t disappoint and
lived up to the expectations.
To quickly recap the game status from last week, St
Anthony’s batted first and were dismissed for 101. Bacchus
Marsh declared at 1/123 and St Anthony’s, in their second
dig, were 1/34 at stumps. St Anthony’s were quite resolute
in their second innings and battled their way through to be
all out for 162. The equation for the Bulls to gain maximum

Ballan won the toss and batted first with Jack McGregor,
Lachie Snaith and Michael Snaith getting Ballan off to a solid
start before Ben Loughnane came in with a brilliant batting
performance for his 72, Mark Kennedy and Michael Vallance
added valuable runs at the end making 18 runs off the last
over. Ballan’s bowlers once gain bowled an excellent line and

Butt cracks big wins

points was 141 runs off 19 overs which was a tough ask but
achievable.
Coach James Lidgett tried something different and
partnered up big hitter, Tom Wardell, with usual opener
Kasun Suriaratchie. Wardell hit the ball with his usually
strength and found the boundary a few times and got the
Bulls ahead of the equation. Suriaratchie top scored with 32
but it was Mace Cousins who again impressed the coach with
an unbeaten 30.
“He hit the boundary a few times late in the game and batted
with maturity beyond his years.”
The coach himself chimed in with 28.
“It was difficult to hit boundaries as the opposition had
seven players on the boundary which forced us to run very
hard between the wickets,” said Lidgett. Unfortunately, the
outright victory was not to be, and the Bulls fell 7-short of the
final target for the outright victory.
The next Round is set for another thriller with fourth
placed Bacchus Marsh playing third placed Sunbury United
at Maddingley Park. United are on 58.83 points, narrowly
ahead of Bacchus Marsh on 58.54 points.
•••
In Johnstone Shield, the Bulls were chasing 177 off their
allotted 75 overs. Taj Baker, son of life member and
premiership McIntyre player and coach, Paul Baker, showed
that he is a force to be reckoned with carrying his bat through
the innings making a fantastic 110 not out. His innings
also ensured a comfortable victory to Bacchus Marsh. Tom
Dickinson batted with Baker for a 117-run partnership
making 65. There was some confusion with the umpires
over bonus point rules and it was eventually sorted out
meaning that the Bulls had the full 75 overs to try and get 100
runs in front of the opposition for a bonus point. The Bulls
batted their full 75 overs making 9/291 with Ollie Powell
contributing a valuable 50. Captain Drew Closter was very
happy with the victory as his team gained a bonus 1.2 points
being in front by 120 runs at the close of play.
All seven teams return to a two-day game next week.
By Michael Howard
An extraordinary night for reinsman Anthony Butt, who
claimed both the three-year-old Group 1 features, and a
ground-breaking performance by Lochinvar Art highlighted
a stunning Night 2 of the TAB Summer of Glory.
Butt doubled-down on a sublime Saturday evening at
Tabcorp Park Melton when he added the Downbytheseaside
Victoria Derby to an earlier Pryde’s EasiFeed Victoria Oaks
triumph, with Line Up carrying his favouritism status with
aplomb in the $200,000 feature.
Butt, a former Melton resident who’s recently moved to
Sydney, led from the outset with Line Up, spacing the chasing
bunch with a 26.8-second third quarter before closing with a
27.8-second final 400 metres, which was enough to win by 1.6
metres from Grant Dixon’s Governor Jujon.
“He’s a lovely horse, very relaxed,” Butt said. “He just went
to sleep in front, that’s what he likes. When I pulled the plugs
around the bend he really zipped away. It was a big effort.”
It capped a big night for Butt, who earlier won the $150,000
Victoria Oaks with Dr Susan for New Zealand co-trainers
Nathan Purdon and Cran Dalgety.
Dr Susan actually broke her gait in a false start, but second
time around would break the hearts of her rivals with a
26.3-second third quarter to set up victory in the Group 1.
The all-the-way win was scored by 4.4 metres from favourite
Stylish Memphis, a satisfying win for co-trainer Dalgety that
he dedicated to Bacchus Marsh reinsman Gavin Lang, who
is battling ill-health.
“I just saw my good friend Gavin Lang today,” Dalgety
said post-race. “Gavin’s having a wee bit of an off time, if I
can dedicate a race I’m going to dedicate it to that good man
Gavin Lang. It seems a bit hollow tonight not having him
win one of these big races.”
The three-year-old classics were almost overshadowed by
Lochinvar Art’s extraordinary performance in the Group 1
Alabar 4YO Bonanza, where he not only beat highly touted
Tabcorp Park, Saturday 25 January, Victoria Derby Final
Winner: Line Up (3). Trainer: Anthony Butt. Driver: Anthony
Butt. Photo Stuart McCormick
Self Assured but won in a 1:48.6 mile rate, the first time a
horse has broken the magical 1:50 barrier in Victoria.
“He’s just a legend really,” Lochinvar Art’s trainer-driver
David Moran said. “I’m chuffed and lost for words. He’s just
a champion.”
There was also plenty of fun on track when Always Fast
won the Mercury80 for Kima Frenning and Emma Stewart,
capping the terrific 1200-metre series that began in front of
thousands at Melton on New Year’s Eve.
But it’s perhaps the Allied Express Casey Classic and DNR
Logistics V L Dullard Trotters Cup that will create most
conversation this week.
Those two features are likely to be key lead-ins to this
Saturday’s headliners on Night 3 of the TAB Summer of
Glory back at Tabcorp Park Melton – the $500,000 Del-Re
National A. G. Hunter Cup and the $250,000 What The Hill
Great Southern Star. Those two crowns form Victoria’s richest
pacing race and Australia’s richest trotting race respectively
and will draw Australasia’s most talented harness racing
combatants to battle for a place in equine immortality.
Kiwi Mach Shard reaffirmed he’ll be a contender in the
Hunter Cup with Saturday night’s bold win in the Casey
Classic, while another New Zealand raider, Temporale, hit
the line in impressive fashion to win the trotters cup and
build on his terrific record at Melton.
