Keevers focus is on line, atmospheric

by Peter Nichols
A Day In The Death of Joe Egg is
part vaudeville, part tragedy and part
comedy... but always courageous and
heartfelt.
A thought-provoking and very funny
modern classic, that holds a justified
place in London’s National Theatre’s
list of the most significant plays of the
twentieth century.
“It’s glorious theatre. Without doubt it’s
a beautifully crafted work, wonderfully
staged and directed.” -Sydney Stage
Online.
A Day in The Death of Joe Egg is the
story of a young married couple, Bri
(Brian) and Sheila. Bri really should
have been an entertainer of some
sort. He could have been a writer, a
stand up comedian, a star of the silver
screen. Sharp witted and able to turn
the toughest of situations into a stand
up comedy routine, life with Bri is
always entertaining.
However Bri isn’t living the dream. Bri
and Shelia, though a young and fun
loving couple, are struggling not to
give way to the pressures of caring
for their disabled daughter, Joe,
nicknamed “Joe Egg”.

TAKE THE WEIGHT OFF YOUR
SHOULDERS
Of all the activities we do walking is
probably the most sociable. There is
nothing more enjoyable than going for
a pleasant stroll on a sunny autumn
day, breathing in the fresh air, while
chatting with friends. For those more
enthusiastic this simple form of
exercise may include discovering new
places or getting in touch
with our history. A walk
to the cemetery or the
cricket field at Whalhalla
is a good example.
Those of us with more
gusto than good sense
often get a rush of blood
to the head and decide a
longer walk of 2, 3 or more
days is the way to go.
This is also where factors
like weight become more
critical. I often hear from
customers, “My pack is so
heavy, is there anyway of
reducing the weight?” or “
I would love to try longer
trips but I am worried
about the weight I will
have to carry”.
I’m not suggesting you
go to extremes but here
are just a few of the ideas
that have been thrown
around the camp fire to
lighten your load:
• Cutting your tooth brush
handle in half.
• Carry the exact number
of matches you will need.
• Shorten your shoe laces so they only
do up the top half of your boots.
• Put all your food into an airtight bag
and squeeze all the air out.
• Take a fleece vest instead of a
jacket.
• Empty half the gas out of your stoves
cylinder.
• Or, take the batteries out of your
torch because they’re what make it so

heavy.
Now at this stage you may be
questioning, quite rightly, the
sobriety of the people making these
suggestions. Yes, these are just plain
silly ideas, for very obvious reasons.
If you do want to make your hike more
comfortable by really reducing weight
try some of the following.
1/ Ask yourself “how much clothing do
I really need?” Don’t take a change of
clothes for every day you will be out.
One set to walk in, one set to change
into for night time, and if you need to,
one set to travel to and from your hike.
This last one is especially good if you
haven’t had the opportunity to have
much of a wash over 3 or 4 days. It
may not worry you too much but I am
sure your friends in the car with you
will appreciate it. And the good thing
is you don’t have to take them on the
actual hike.
2/ I will just throw in a little bit of extra
food in case I need it! Wrong. All
those little bits add up. Plan all your
meals but don’t overdo the nibbles.
You should have a good idea of what
meals you will need, there portion size
and how they taste. For cold weather
I up the portion size by 20%. My food
choice is also influenced by where
I am trekking too. Will I be in a very
remote area or is there a Mc Donald’s
just over that nearby ridge? The only
difference weight wise between one
night out and more is the amount of
food you carry. I usually aim for about
500gm -600gm per day for my food
allowance and haven’t gone hungry
yet.
5176 4548
PH: 5623 6833
3/ Your choice of gear can have a great
bearing on your weight. For tenting I
try and stick to a ratio of 1.0kg -1.2kg
per person. Obviously if you can share
gear ( eg. cooking equipment like a
Trangia stove and a tent) between 2
or 3 walkers it will greatly reduce the
individuals load.
4/ Always pack your own pack. It
would surprise you how often I hear
that someone went off
hiking with 6 pairs of
socks but no toilet paper
or breakfast. “I didn’t
pack my pack because
I didn’t have time” is not
an excuse for getting it
wrong. There have been
times when I have packed
a week before a hike and
just topped up with a few
perishables just before I
walked out the door.
It is your responsibility to
make sure that when you
are out in the bush you
can look after yourself
and not be a burden on
your fellow trekkers. I
love the 3 rules a fellow
trekker told me years
ago. Proper Planning,
proper Preparation, all in
Pursuit of a good time.
Now is a great time to get
out to some of our higher
areas before the last of
the snow melts. A walk
from Mt St Gwenear to
Mt Baw Baw and back is
great at the moment with the added
bonus of a little snow play along the
way. This walk follows part of the
Alpine Walking Track with the snow
gums now in their spring splendour.
But as always, keep a very close eye
on the weather, and be prepared to
call it a day if the weather turns for
the worst.
Safe walking. John

Turn Off Your Mobile Phone When Filling Up
VACC, the peak Automotive Industry
body in Victoria, is urging motorists to
switch off their mobile phone when re-
fueling their vehicle.
Any battery operated equipment used
at a service station may cause a spark
which could ignite fuel vapours emit-
ted from your tank when refueling.
The risk of a fire starting at a service
station, as a result of using a mobile
phone, may be low, but nevertheless,
there is a risk.
Static electricity is a common cause of
fire and one of the most common gen-
erators of static at a service station is
movement. Motorists are reminded
not to return to the interior of their ve-
hicle during the refueling process as
it is potentially dangerous. Movement
also increases the possibility of a mo-
bile phone being dropped which could
create a potentially dangerous spark.
If refueling cans or containers, motor-
ists should make sure the items are
removed from the vehicle, or trailer,
and placed on the ground before

passionate about.
While some may say about these vehicles

Rodney Hedrick’ s experience is just one
scenario that brings home the reality that this
could happen to anyone.
“In my case, a lot of the pain was taken
away by the fact that I did have insurance
cover,” said Rodney. “For a true car lover
it’s just not worth the risk, especially when
a company like Shannons has so many
options for motoring enthusiasts - in my case
I had a policy called ‘Laid Up Cover’, which
isn’t expensive considering what I’ve put into
restoring the Chev”.
Another Shannons customer, David
Chapman, can also testify first-hand the
benefits of specialist vehicle insurance. David
was in the process of restoring his ‘Vitamin
C’-painted 1972, VH Chrysler Charger 265
when, without brakes, it got away from him
while being towed on his property.
“The damage looked pretty extensive at first,
and luckily no-one was hurt, but that feeling
when the Charger slipped the tow, I just can’t
describe it” said David.
“I think at first you are just in shock and it
takes a few minutes before you remember
that your insurance policy will cover you. I
now know from experience, with cars like
this, you absolutely have to have specialist
cover” said David.
Shannons Executive Manager, Julian
Benton said that with the range of specialised
policies that are available to enthusiasts and
collectors the risk of not taking out insurance
is just too great. “When you think about the
type of vehicles we are talking about, it takes
a lot of specialist knowledge and skills to
repair them if they are involved in any sort of
accident. At Shannons we have developed
policies that are tailored to the needs of the
enthusiast, whether it’s for limited use cover,
or you may be a club member who only drives
with club plates, or even if your pride and joy
is sitting under that tarpaulin, at Shannons
we do our best to cover the circumstances of
motor enthusiasts. “
There are a number of very affordable ways
of insuring classic cars and motorcycles and
Shannons urges enthusiasts, especially
ones with restoration projects, to do some
research and find what policy best suits
them.
As Rodney Hedrick says “I was always so
careful around the Chev, but that didn’t take
into account the unthinkable - that a simple
bump in the road could do so much damage.
You just never know”

Well it ended up more

that was ok because

there is plenty of it to

sold a box and then be left to work out
how to use it yourself.
When choosing a machine consider what
you want and expect out of a machine.
1. Do you entertain a lot
2.
How many
coffee’s do you need to make at a
time.
3. Will you be making mainly milk based
coffee’s
4. How much bench space and height do
you have.
5. Measure up first
6. Do you need to have a hot water arm
for making long blacks or tea
7. Budget.
When deciding to purchase a machine
you should, at some time, plan to
purchase a grinder, whether it be at the
same time or in the future. In my opinion,
the grinder is every bit as important as
the coffee machine. A grinder gives you
control over the grind of the coffee which
directly impacts on the the taste and
flavour of the coffee. It allows you to keep
your coffee fresher as you can then buy
your coffee as whole beans and grind as
required. Nothing smells better than fresh
coffee, but stale coffee smells rancid, like
a dirty ashtray.
By following this small bit of advice you
will hopefully enjoy the experience.
Next month we will focus on the cleaning
and maintenance of you machine.
Till next time.

I hope this edition finds you all well
and that the horrible colds and flu’s
that have been plaguing us here have
taken a wide berth from you. Rob, Al
and I have all had our photo displayed
with our story, so I thought I would take
this opportunity to introduce you to one
of our Apprentices, Chris. Her photo is
attached. She is generally out the back
cooking our yummy food, but luckily,
some days we have her out the front.
The great thing about all our staff is that
they enjoy their fishing as much as Rob
and I.
Chris recently spent the weekend
cruising Lake King on a 32ft boat, and
boy did she rub it in.
As I said in last months paper, the fishing
is heating up, and now the weather is
too. The good news is that snapper
are starting to come on the bite along
with flatties, taylor, salmon, trevally and
mullet. All of these are being caught
off the beaches and inside around Port
Welshpool and Port Albert.
Bream, flatties and taylor are still being
caught in all the rivers on bait and lures.
I had the pleasure of viewing a photo
of a very fat 50cm bream caught in the
Bemm River. Apparently her belly was
almost as thick as a can of soft drink,
held upright.
Word from the fly fishermen is that
trout are thick in the now clearing rivers
and fresh water lakes and streams.
Guys are heading out and consistently
bagging out. Worms are working well,
along with spinner baits, soft plastics
and flies. This is a great time of the year
to pack the 4WD and head to the hills. If
you are happy to go for a walk along the
creeks and rivers, away from the roads,
chances are you will come across some
good fish.
We have had the pleasure recently to
eat some fresh caught trout, caught by
a dear friend and loved every bite.
Somehow, we have managed to put in
more stock into the shop, with a new
range of St Croix, American made, rods
due in very soon. These are beautiful
rods, with some of their top of the line
IM12 graphite snapper rods weighing in
at around 75grams.
We are soon to hold the first of our many
fishing workshops. We will be holding a
different workshop every month or so.
The workshops will focus on: different
fishing styles; water safety, including
navigation and using sounders; basic
first aid and any other topics our
customers would like to suggest. If you
would like to be kept up-to-date about
the different workshops please call into
the store and we will provide you with a
loyalty card and add you to the mailing

trying to convince us that increased electricity
prices,the environmentally friendly ‘green
bags’ carbon emissions etc no longer seem
to be trying to impress the message of ‘Global
Warming’ but are now covering their backsides
with expressions of concern over‘Climate
Change’?
For me personally, the year of 2010 and the
major mishap encountered in February has
brought with it the forced decision to finally
retire so with many regrets I will cease working
by the end of October.
Travelscope opened for business on January
19th 1976 having been registered on
December 3rd of the previous year.
It was a profession I entered quite by accident.
Having worked for a year or so as a radio
announcer at a time when female announcers
were not allowed to read news I embarked on
a refresher course with a view to obtaining
a job with ABC for which I had successfully
auditioned.
However,Mr Fraser became the Prime
Minister and almost his first austerity measure
was to lay off many of the ABC staff. So I had
to rethink my future. Perhaps I could enter the
hospitality industry – a small motel perhaps?
But having no idea where to begin decided
to do a professional course in hotel/motel
management and wrote off to a prominent
correspondence school enclosing a stamped
addressed envelope for reply.
But the young clerk responsible for the mail at
the college must have had a heavy night the
previous night as she put the wrong papers in
an envelope and I found myself with details of a
travel industry course instead. But I completed
the forms, returned them and participated in
the course
. After graduating several months later I
of course thought I ‘knew it all’ but what a
cropper I came! I would go home it night with
international date lines, currency conversions,
city and airline abreviations planes, trains
ships and hotels going around and around in
my head.
But firstly I had to find premises so approached
a local agent for a rental property. He asked
why I wanted it and I replied that I would open
a travel agency. I can still recall he reply”
Vardy (parents of Allan and Keith) and Joyce
Fiske (mother of Jenny Berry) who traveled
quite extensively. Their respective families
still travel with us today.
But my favourite clients in those early days
were Ken and Heather Davies, and Mrs
Kit Challen from Briagolong none of whom
listened to other ‘travellers’ well meaning
advice but instead came back with the answer
“My travel agent knows what she is doing so
I only listen to her”. I often think of them as
my 21st century clients come to me with “But
I saw on the internet’ etc etc and have me
almost tearing my hair out!
I remember Ken came in one day and told me
“Heather wants to shop in London and to see
the Andelusian horses in Vienna . I would like
to visit a Rotary friend in Japan. We would like
to see as much of the world as we can.. Can
you work something out ?”
The journey I planned took them to Taiwan
as well as Japan, took the polar route (North
Pole) to Alaska then by train from Anchorage
to Fairbanks, on to London and Vienna ending
with a ‘Blue Train; experience in Sth Africa and
home via a stop over in Perth.
It was a wonderful itinerary to put together
and they were delighted but as would happen
to me each time I did such and interesting
itinerary I wished I could hop in their baggage
and travel with them.
I have seen my share of the world having
been to around 70 countries during more than
50 overseas trips.
But alas Mt Ainslie Lookout in Canberra has
clipped my wings at least for the time being
although I have wonderful memories.
Until next time

Q. Why would I use a Mortgage Broker?
A. Because they can save you time and money.
As the Home Loan market becomes
increasingly complex, more people are
turning to Mortgage Brokers. Here are some
of the reasons.
Mortgage Brokers can save time
The choices now available in the Mortgage
market can seem limitless and completely
overwhelming. You can choose to research
the subject, the Lenders and their products
yourself, or work with a Mortgage Broker
who already has that knowledge.
Mortgage Brokers give you choice
All Mortgage Brokers have a panel of
Lenders from which they recommend a
loan. They have to become accredited with
the Lender to offer their product, and are
required to keep up-to-date with their latest
offers.
Mortgage Brokers can help find the right
loan
The best deal is not necessarily the cheapest
rate. A good Mortgage Broker will examine
your circumstances and future plans to
recommend a loan that is right for you.

you can help you build wealth.
Most Mortgage Brokers don’t charge
you
Most Mortgage Brokers don’t charge a fee
for their service as the Lenders pay them a
commission for the loans they write. Most
Lenders offer the same rate via the Mortgage
Broker as they would directly, and a Broker
could save you money in other ways.
Mortgage Brokers can help you avoid
pitfalls

Hi readers!
As some of you now know, the Sale of the News-
paper has been finalised, and it’s funny how fate
plays it’s hand. Mark is now on board, heading
sales and distribution, while I am keeping up
publication and administration. We have yet to
get out and make formal introductions, but we’ll
endeavour to before Christmas.
Mark has some fantastic ideas he’s working on
that you’ll see in up coming months. As well
as new features and information for our readers,
we will be going on line! So now you can see it
Unfortunately, in the first round
of matchplay the two girls were
paired against each other. After
18 holes of play, and several
exchanges of the lead, Johanna
finally eliminated Bonnie in a
playoff.
In semi-final Johanna played well
but lost at the 17th hole, 2-1.
Jack Henning and Daniel Defelice
are members of separate teams
which have qualified for the
regional final of the Holden
Scramble to will be held soon
at the Sandhurst Golf Club. In
qualifying Jack’s team scored a
nett 59.25 and Daniel’s team had
56.
The Scramble is knock out
competition with teams of
four competing for regional
representation into state finals
and ultimately for a national final.
Intensive Tennis
This school holiday break was a
busy fortnight for the Academy’s
Tennis Squad with competitions
in Melbourne, Frankston and
Bairnsdale.
At the TCAV Championships in
Melbourne David Hough won
the 12-years boys’ doubles
partnership and Sophie Grumley
was runner up in the girls’ 16-

It is becoming quite a popular paper now, with
many of our stockists requesting more papers,

we can support businesses that way.
So thankyou readers for endorsing our paper.
May it keep on growing,

At Frankston, all squad members
went well.
Mitchell Allman and Callum
Tomlinson-Dale made singles
quarter finals. Callum also teamed
with Jamie Kemp and the pair
reached their doubles semi-finals.
David Hough was another quarter
finalist, this time in 12-years
doubles. David also made the
finals of the consolation singles
but this was washed out, as was
Mitchell Allman’s doubles final.
After all the final rounds and wash
outs, Sophie Grumley ended up
as the only winner when she took
out her singles consolation final.

Victoria at the State Teams Short
Course Championships.

a bronze medallist in the 4 x 100-
metre relay in which she swam
the final leg.
Georgia’s best individual swim
was in the 200-metre backstroke
where she finished in fifth place,
less than a length behind the third-
placed girl.
The Championships were held in
Canberra and Georgia then flew
on to Queensland to join team
mates at the Sports Academy’s
training camp at Runaway Bay.

Then, in July this year, his winning ays

Heza Gamble’s trainer, Loch’s aureen

ineligible for Tier 3 racing, based on the

And while Heza Gamble doesn’t always

catalyst in keeping him on the racetrack
at such an evergreen age.
“Greyhounds like Heza Gamble need

race dog, but he absolutely loves going
