DIVER OF THE MONTH
Glen Templar started diving early
in 1999 and is now a PADI qualified
dive master and tech qualified diver
with over 900 dives to his credit.
His passion is exploring shipwrecks
and discovering the color and
variety of life underwater. A couple
of Glen’s favorite dive spots are
Montagu Island at Narooma diving
with the Grey Nurse sharks and
also Wilsons Promontory with its
amazing swim throughs and fish
life. A highlight of Glen’s diving
was an amazing encounter that he
had with an orca off the Victorian
coast. His only regret was that he
didn’t have his underwater camera
to capture the moment. Glen
loves the camaraderie of scuba
diving and has made many lifetime
friends through his association with
the sport he loves.

UNDERWATER CLEAN UP
Divers from SEAL Diving Services
participated in a cleanup of beaches
and waterways at Inverloch recently.
It was all part of a Clean Oceans
activity day held at the popular
seaside location. Underwater clean
ups are a great way for divers to
get involved in helping to protect
the marine environment.
The divers worked in buddy pairs
carrying collection bags and
wearing gloves for protection. They
were especially looking for plastics,
particularly plastic bags, fishing line,
netting, bottles and cans without
marine growth and cigarette butts,.
The scuba divers that conducted
the underwater cleanup were
very pleased to discover minimal
rubbish underwater and had an
enjoyable dive whilst contributing
to the clean up.

GEAR, GEAR and more GEAR
There is a breed of hiker out there often
referred to as gear freaks, or as they
prefer to be called, gear aficionados.
Usually there is nothing obviously
strange about them; it’s just that
they have a larger collection of gear
than the average hiker. Four or five
different tents, packs, sleeping bags
and cook sets can all be explained
away as being needed for different
occasions and environments. Yeah,
okay. Me, I like to keep things a little
less complicated and may be a result
of not being able to get out camping
as often as I would like.
If we break things down to the barest
of essentials, what do we really need
to survive out in the bush?
Shelter, warmth, food and
water. The way we address
these needs boils down to
our more specific needs, the
environment we chose to
tackle and the size of your
wallet. The general rules I
apply with the cost of gear
are; if it’s lighter, it will cost
more. If it’s more compact, it
will cost more. If it’s warmer
for its weight, it will cost more,
and if it’s more durable, it will
cost more. Now these aren’t
hard and fast rules, they
probably only apply about
90% of items.
So let’s look at the essentials
and some of the factors to
consider when making a
choice before we hand over
those hard earned dollars.
PACKS. So many choices,
so little time. Are you a male,
female? How often will you get
to use your new pack? Are you
going to walk on well prepared track
such as those at Wilson’s Promontory
or go bush bashing for long periods
or short? You need to have a clear
idea of your ultimate goal. Price can
vary from $100 to well over $500, the
latter giving you a tough very durable
pack with a very comfortable harness
fitted to your exact body shape.
A lot of hikers end up choosing a pack
size bigger than they need. They will
then often fill it with gear they really
could have left at home. WARNING;
your friends will often recommend,
with the best intentions of course, a
pack type or brand as the best, don’t
fall into this trap. YOU need to find a
pack that suits YOUR frame and YOU

John and the team have over 20 years of experience.
Their advice will ensure you’ll have everything you
need for your next trip in the great outdoors
GET LOST CAMPING
find comfortable. You will be the one
wearing it so it has to suit you.
TENTS. The options with tents are
limited by the size of your wallet. I
tend to look for tents which will suit
my needs (sleeping one, two or three
people), will handle where I tend to
hike eg alpine areas, and weights no
more than 1kg to 1.2kg per person. I
am not a big fan of single skin tents.
Despite their claims I find they do not
handle condensation well and are
just too expensive.
There are less expensive better
performing tents on the market that
may be no more than 100gm to
200gm heavier. The newer siliconized
cordura fabric tents are a good
example. I also try not to sell a $500
tent to someone who may only use
it 3 or 4 times a year when there is
a $200 option available to do almost
the same job.
SLEEPING BAGS. This is where
those general rules mentioned
previously do apply 100%. I always
ask customers 3 basic questions;
Where are you going, when are you
going and how? The answers to
these tell me quite specifically the
best type of bag that is going to suit
your needs i.e. how warm, light and
compact. You will also need to have
an idea of the coldest situation you
are likely to be in over the next 10
to 15 years and wether the bag is
for a male or female. GENERALLY
females need a bag rated 5 degrees
warmer than a male. WARNING;
Sleeping bags usually carry 2 rating.
One is a comfort rating the other is an
extreme rating, be sure of these when
looking at a bag. If there is only one
rating always assume it is an extreme
rating. Some stores like to hide
behind seasonal ratings eg WINTER
(however the fine print reveals an
actual rating of + 5 degrees) great if
you are spending winter on the Gold
Coast. For Gippsland generally you
need a bag rated at -5 degrees or
better excluding heading up into the
high country.
COOKING SETS. There are three
basic types of cooking options
available to a hiker. Most are aware
of the ever reliable Trangia cook
set having come across them in
their school years. These units use
methylated spirits as their fuel and
are a good option for simple cooking
where you are just rehydrating and
warming meals. As a comparison it
usually takes 5 to 8 minutes to boil a
litre of water and perform reasonably
well in alpine conditions. Gas stoves
are a faster option in regards to
cooking time and with their higher
temperatures allow the hiker to
expand their culinary skills.
A litre of water can usually be boiled
PH: 5623 6833
in about 1 to 3 minutes depending
on the model. Their only drawback
is the gas will often fail to vaporise
in extremely cold conditions making
the unit very inefficient so selection
of the gas canisters can be a very
important factor when planning. The
final type is the multi fuel type of
cooker which can run on Unleaded
Petrol or Shellite. There are several
good brands of the market of which
MSR is probably the best known.
While multi fuel stove are the dearest
option to buy, and a little fiddly to
use, but they are by far the cheapest
to run. They also perform great in all
conditions. Boiling time is 2.5 to 3
minutes.
ALL THE BITS & PIECES.
Camping stores are full
of gimmicky gadgets to
entice gear gurus. Some
are designed to make
that next outing that much
safer, some are designed
to make things that much
more comfortable the
rest are there for you to
buy for someone who
has almost everything
and you have no idea
what to get them. Some
however are essential.
A compass, head torch,
waterproof matches, light
hike mattress, hydration
bladder or drink bottle,
maps and a good knife all
fall into this category.
Less essential items but
always good to have on
hand include walking
poles, GPS and EPIRB,
and a good length of 3
– 4mm nylon rope. You
can keep adding to these
lists but always remember you have
to carry this all on your back. Apply
the KISS principle (Keep It Smart &
Simple) and you will very rarely go
wrong.
Where to go this time of the year?
You can look at doing some of the
great coastal walks. I like to head to
East Gippsland and Southern New
South Wales coastal areas where the
weather is a little milder and usually
a little dryer. As always check the
weather for the days leading up to
and during your trip so you don’t get
caught out.
Don’t forget your hat.
Safe walking. John

Gippsland Flight Centre News...
Hello again,
It never ceases to amaze me how quickly time
flies, another month has passed.
The windy flying weather does not seem to have
improved much however we all welcome the rain.
Here’s hoping it is a sign that we are returning to
the typical seasons of years ago.
I think the West Sale bid for the IBFT is dead in the
water. All levels of Government will probably not
make an announcement with the state election
imminent.
In October, CHC Helicopters flew two French
built Super Puma helicopters into West Sale. I
understand they will be based here for the next
18 months, supporting a rig offshore. They will
commence operations in early November with
quite a few movements per day.
These machines are BIG and when in the circuit
on days of little or no wind, leave very considerable
wake turbulence behind them. Pilots that fly into
West Sale when the military are not active should
be cautious in the circuit with these heavies.
Next month, I’ll endeavour to have photo’s and an
interview on the CHC operation for your interest.
Joanne has finished her first fortnight of flying a
Beech 1900C out of Adelaide. This is apparently
a very enjoyable aircraft to fly particularly with the
Exploring your
own backyard
The
AVIATOR
type of flying activity of the operation.
She is also well into her Recreational Instructor
Rating and once this is achieved she will be able
to help me with training our students.
The CASA Safety Seminar Pilot Workshop is to
be held at the TAFE complex on Saturday 20th
November with registration @ 0845 EST.
Topics include:
- Local airspace ATC procedures (RAAF
Rep)
- Military aircraft performance and
procedures
- Situational awareness at non-towered
aerodromes
- Duty of Care – Law of Negligence
- Dissimilar traffic operations at West Sale
airfield
- Biennial Flight Reviews
- Gippsland Aviators Forum
All pilots of any type, rotary or fixed wing are
welcome to attend this workshop but we request
they contact us at Gippsland Flight Centre in
order to provide sufficient catering. I expect this
to be a very informative workshop.
For more information or to register your
attendance, call Tony on 0412 474 016 or 5149
2223.
Until next month,
Tony Peters
60 Days For Recreational Abalone Take
Fisheries Victoria has announced the 60 nominated open days
for the recreational take of abalone from central Victorian marine
waters for the 2010-11 season. Central Victorian waters extend
east of the mouth of the Aire River to the most north-western part
of Arch Rock (near Cape Liptrap), including Port Phillip Bay and
Western Port. Fisheries Victoria Acting Executive Director Travis
Dowling said most of the open days were on weekends and public
holidays between November this year and May next year, including
ten consecutive days over Christmas and four consecutive days
over the Easter period next year.
“The first open days begin on the weekend of 20 and 21 November
2010,” Mr Dowling said. “Recreational abalone fishers are
reminded the statewide abalone bag limit is five, of which no more
than two can be greenlip. “However, greenlip abalone must not
be taken from Port Phillip Bay. “In addition to the daily bag limit
of five abalone that applies in, on or adjacent to the water, there
is a possession limit that applies anywhere in Victoria (including
your home) of 10 abalone, of which no more than four may be
greenlip.
“An interim minimum legal size of 13cm for blacklip abalone
remains in place from the mouth of the Hopkins River to the South
Australian border to assist the rebuilding of stocks affected by the
abalone disease. “The disease has no known or likely impacts for
human health.” Fisheries Victoria continues to encourage divers
taking abalone to adopt good biosecurity practises by: Washing
vessels, wetsuits, dive equipment and their hands with soapy
freshwater,

All New Narva ‘Extreme’ Driving
Lamp Now The Ultimate For Off-
Road Competition, 4WD And
Trucking
Regarded as one of the most
rugged and robust auxiliary
driving lamps on the world
market, Narva ‘Extreme’ has
been further enhanced with
the latest 45W H.I.D Ballast
and 5000°K globe making its
light output performance truly
outstanding.
The introduction of the new
internally mounted Gen 5 - 45W
H.I.D Ballast and D1 Globe
into the Narva ‘Extreme’ has
resulted in more than 10% more
light, setting a new benchmark
in driving light performance. It
produces a brighter whiter light
with increased colour temperature
whilst retaining lower power
consumption expected of H.I.D
technology.
New D1 Globes dramatically
improve initial ignition time to just
2-3 seconds with instantaneous
re-ignition. When coupled with
the increased virtual daylight
performance colour temperature
of 5,000°K, it makes ‘Extreme’
ideal for any driving conditions,

 Cream of Classics Drive $2.2million Motorclassica Result

High quality classics drove Shannons
inaugural Collectors’ Auction at
Motorclassica on Sunday (24 October)
to an outstanding $2.2 million result,
delivering an excellent clearance rate of
83 per cent in the process.
The large crowd present for the auction in
the historic Melbourne Exhibition Building
saw a restored and converted right hand
drive 1967 Shelby Mustang GT500 bring
the top price of the auction at $195,000.
This was followed closely by the $193,000
paid for a beautiful Australian-delivered
1934 3.5-litre ‘Derby’ Bentley Convertible,
$180,000 for the Victorian Heritage
number plate ‘97’ and $170,000 for a very
well presented, UK-delivered 1973 Ferrari
Dino 246GT Coupe.
However many of the most impressive
results were achieved by more humble
classics.
A stunning, rotisserie-restored 1956
Holden FJ Special Sedan sold for $38,000,
a 1970 MGB MkII roadster than had
received a ground-up restoration sold for
an outstanding $26,000 and a very original
1955 Australian-built Ford Customline
brought $25,000.
Other classics to sell well included
presented 1957 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud
I Saloon brought $24,000, and a rare
1964 Studebaker Avanti II Coupe made
$20,000.
The seven motorcycles in the auction
also delivered a solid result, with a 1948
BSA A7 500cc garnering the top money
of $16,000. The three vintage models
from the former Marysville Museum sold
well at no reserve, with a 1931 Sunbeam
350cc Twin Port’ selling for $12,500, a

European
a multiple award-winning, red 1957
Mercedes-Benz 190SL ($96,000), a rare
Salamanca Red 1973 Holden Torana XU-
SALE EUROPEAN AUTOS 1 with excellent provenance ($81,000)
and a comprehensively-restored 1968
Austin-Healey BJ8 3000 MkIII convertible
($68,000).
• Peugot • Volvo • Renault • BMW • Alfa Romeo • VW
• Jaguar • Rover • Saab • Fiat • Audi • Mercedes Benz • Landrover Vehicles offered with no reserve also fared
well, led by the $41,000 achieved by a
magnificent right hand drive 1963 Chrysler
Imperial Crown Convertible, while a well-
1925 BSA 350cc SV making $11,300 and
a 1925 Douglas 350cc ‘Belt Drive’ bringing
$11,000.
Victorian black and white Heritage number
plates led by ‘97’ continued to sell well, with
other notable results being ‘458’, which
traded heavily on its Ferrari 458 Italia
relevance to sell for $75,000 – comfortably
out-performing less significant numbers,
such as ‘337’’ ($54,000), ‘434’ ($50,000)
and ‘886’ ($59,500).

4WD Handy Hints
There are a number of things you
should consider before departing on
your 4WD holiday. Whether you are a
4WD veteran or a first timer, these
handy hints should assist you in
having a safe and exciting holiday.
* Always carry 30-50% more food,
water and petrol when driving in
sandy area
* Always have an appropriate
collection of spare parts on hand
so that you are prepared for any
damage to your 4WD
* Before driving through water in your
4WD a good idea is to administer
a repellent such as WD40 to the
electrical components
* Be prepared for getting bogged
down in rough terrain by purchasing
the appropriate tools for vehicle
recovery
* Consider the driving conditions
you are likely to encounter before
you depart
Exploring your
own backyard
Exploring 4 X 4
* If driving over a ditch or logs, cross it
at an angle to ensure that only one tyre
goes over the obstacle at a time - the
other 3 tyres will help get the vehicle
over
* Joining one of the many 4WD clubs in
your area is a great way to meet people
and gain information from experienced
enthusiasts
techniques in advance in case an
emergency situation arises
* Put chains on your tyres as soon as
you feel them slipping on the road,
track etc - its too late once you’re
stuck
* Reverse gears use more fuel
* To increase fuel efficiency buy
petrol at the time of day when the
temperature is at its coolest - this
is because petrol is at its densest
during this time
* Try and maintain your speed,
constant speeding up and slowing
back down uses more fuel
* When driving across a river/creek
crossing try to drive slightly against
the current for the first part, then
slightly with the current to help you
exit the crossing
* When driving down a steep hill in
your 4WD you must try to drive in a
straight line or as close to it as you
can. Use the lowest gear possible
and drive as slowly as you can

* Driver fatigue is a dangerous and * When driving in sand the best

worryingly common aspect of long-
distance driving. It is recommended
that you don’t drive for more than 2
hours without stopping
* For your own safety you should report
any remote trips you are undertaking
to an appropriate official
* If possible keep the windows closed * Keep in mind that rocky roads use up sort of tyres are ones that are relatively
in your vehicle when travelling on the to 30% more petrol bald with less air pressure
highway i.e. 100km/hour+ this reduces
your petrol consumption * Prepare
y o u r
* If you are expecting to drive in muddy Outback
conditions you will need to use self- survival
clearing tyres

Maintaining
Your Espresso
Machine -
from The Bean Scene Coffee Studio
All coffee machines, both commercial
and domestic need to be cleaned and
descaled regularly. A good cleaning
schedule not only keeps your machine
clean but can help to prevent costly
repairs and prolong the life of parts
such as the seals.
Exploring your
own backyard
instructions it
should tell you how to maintain
your machine and also what product
you should use to descale. In domestic
machines the descaling process will
vary between machines and so if you are
unsure about how to descale then get
some advice from a coffee professional
who will recommend the correct product
for your machine and explain how to
use it. We recommend descaling every
90 days or 90 coffees whichever comes
first. Espresso machines, when shown
correctly are extremely easy to clean
and maintain with a minimum amount
of time and effort required, and will
last you for years. Automatic machines
are
a more complicated
process. Remember to get good advice
from trained coffee proffessionals.
In commercial machines cleaning,
backflushing and descaling should be
included as part of your daily cleaning
schedule. A dirty machine will produce
an inferior coffee and in the long term
cost you money in un-necessary
repairs and loss of customers.
Anyone with a coffee machine would
benefit greatly from a barista class, to
help better understand your machine
as well as getting the best out of your
machine.
Barista Classes are
available at Bean Learning 109 Queen
St Warragul and bookings can be made
by calling Lyn 0417357693. Training
is available for the home barista and
staff training can be tailored to suit the
business requirements.

A lot has been happening in the
fishing world over the last few
weeks. Word has it that snapper are
being caught off the beaches, along
with gummies, seven gill sharks,
flatties and whiting. These are being
caught on bluebait, squid, pilchards
and bonito. There have also been
reports of a few bronzies being
caught by the guys paddling out
their baits. I don’t think Rob or I will
be paddling any baits out, we might
have to find someone who likes that
kind of thrill seeking to paddle them
out for us.
The Australian Bream Tournament
Teams Classic Grand Final was
held on the last weekend of August.
The biggest bream for the weekend
weighed in at 1.7kilos. Not a bad size
fish and is a record for the Classic
Grand Final events. We were very
happy to be able to support all the
guys fishing the comp and put up a
gift voucher for the biggest bream.
On that same weekend the Port
Albert Snapperfest was held and we
heard there was around 45 snapper
to 6kilo weighed in, along with a
host of other fish. We also provided
a fishing combo for the winning
junior angler at the Happy Hookers
Surf Fishing competition, held at
Woodside on the same weekend.
If you would like to find out how
to get involved in any of these
competitions for next year call into
the shop and we should be able to
point you in the right direction.
Since the last edition, Rob and I
have managed to get the boat on
the water a couple of times and
been fishing off the surf too. We put
the boat in at Port Albert and fished
the entrance and Blue Hole. Rob
caught his first gummy and we also
boated around a dozen flatties. I
lost count of how many draft boards
we landed.
We closed the shop for the Melbourne
Cup and Rob and I headed to the
Mitchell River to throw a few lures.
Unfortunately, all we managed to
catch was a few trees, but at least we
had a beautiful day on the water.
Hitting the beaches we have
managed flatties, salmon and a
few unstoppables. I am sure our
technique will improve and we will
get to see what has been taking our
bait as we improve.
We are busy planning our next
workshop. Feel free to call in to the
shop and give us your suggestions
on what you would like for our
workshops or register to hear about
upcoming nights.
You may have heard the promotion
on TRFM and Gold 1242 to win a
Jetski. We have entry forms on the
counter in the shop, so don’t forget
to call in and fill in your entry form.
Until next time, tight lines and see
you on the water (or at Fisherman’s
Hut).

Howdy Folks!
Wow! Here it is high Spring and aren’t there some lovely plants about?! If you can
squeeze it in, take time to smell the roses and go have a look at some of your local
open gardens. It’s so inspiring. Contact your local nursery, visitor’s information
centre, or garden club for sites in your area.

Have you planted your sprint veges? We’re doing ours this weekend, which I find
exciting. There is such a huge selection now, but here are a few we have chosen
for lip “smackingness”.
Capsicums - Cherry: This is the delightful “papa sweet” that you find in the deli filled
with feta - Yum!
Couryard: This is a compact sweet varitey with richly colored fruit ripening to a deep
red.
Tomatoes: First Prize: This is an old variey and such a stalwart plant. Nothing much
seems to worry her.....great to eat or cook.
Black Russian: A heirloom variety. You can’t go past this one’s flavour - not one
that I readily share.
Low Acid” (roma type) and Big Yellow (Mellow Yellow to some) - these too are
heirloom, full of flavor and no acid withich my “gouty” friends truly appreciate. House and land packages in Gippsland
Gourmet Truss: We all know this delight. She’s the expensive one in the

$198,000
supermarket.
Lettuce: So many to choose from, but how about mini iceburg? Its a small hearting
variey that ripens quickly. For a leafy choice, how about Gourmet lettuce, with all from
her wonderful colors?
Beans: Sinatra is a very tasty dwarf stringless french bean and guess what? Wonder
of Venice, a great climbing butter bean, is back again after a few years absence. Multiple areas and estates
Silverbeet - of course, there is the ever faithful.
Fordhook Giant: but I rather love the old fashioned rainbow variety. There are so
many wonderful colors!
Corn: Sno-gold bicolor is so sweet! You can’t go past it. Try it raw off the plant for
an extra taste treat.
Beetroot - Chioggia is another old variety with a mild flavour and a host of colors.
Let me see, what else? Maybe a little Golden Nugget Pumpkin, a few button
squashes, a lebanese cucumber, eggplant supreme and don’t forget basil around
the tomatoes. I can’t wait to build my first salad - it’ll be so brightly colored I’ll need
my sunglasses.

Now for a quick word about snail bait. Metaldehyde is the active constituent in many
brands, and is affective against snails, slugs and millipedes. It is also effective on
dogs, cats, and birds, and is highly flammable. Methiocarb is another, and because
it is used commercially as a bird repellent, it is deemed safer. Yeah right! We use
Multicrop’s Mulitguard. It is made from and iron in our bodies called EDTA. Although
it kills snails and slugs, it won’t kill your pet or remain in the soil. Just to be sure, I

Fine results for badminton new

Dillon Silvester plunged
successfully into major
tournaments with the
Academy’s Badminton Squad
at the weekend’s Altona Junior
Tournament.
Relatively inexperienced in
major tournaments, Dillon
played well all day in his under-
13 events and was rewarded
by a second place in the boys’
doubles.
His events were all conducted in
a round robin format and Dillon
took wins and losses in all his
events, the singles, doubles
and mixed doubles. Despite
one loss in the doubles, Dillon
and his partner had enough
points to make the finals and
their doubles result was well-
earned.
Grace Hanratty was the leading
contender of the four girls who
competed in under-17s. Grace

Combined Carnivals Make A Sizzling Summer Of Chasing OR PERHAPS A TUESDAY

Two of Victoria’s highest profile and
successful provincial Clubs have joined
forces through their respective carnivals
to form the inaugural “Gippsland Sizzling
Summer Of Chasing”.
The Sale & District Greyhound Racing
Club and Warragul Greyhound Racing
Club have put together a sixteen meeting
extravaganza of racing consisting of
the eight meeting Sale Cup Carnival in
December 2010 and the eight meeting
Warragul Cup Carnival in January 2011.
In what is believed to the a first for
greyhound racing in Victoria, and quite
possibly anywhere, the two “local” clubs
have established race programs and
other promotions that will see he region
become the focus for greyhound racing
for a two month period.
“With the programs complimenting
each other and the two venues being
fairly close together there are significant
benefits in joint promoting the carnivals
Life on the Farm
On October 23, Carolyn Jones of Sale
experienced the greatest thrill in her 20
year involvement in greyhound racing. El
Grand Senor, a dog she bred, owns and
trains snared one of the sport’s biggest
prizes – the $100,000 to-the-winner
Group 1 Topgun at The Meadows.
Below she gives an insight into life on the
farm...
Q. What does it mean to you to win the
Topgun?
A. It was a special night because my
job is to try to make El Grand Senor the
best he can be, and it all came together
on the night. He did what he had to do
and to me it is always about trying to get
the dogs to do the best they can. I never
even gave the [prize] money a thought
on the night.
Q. Were you shaking as you placed him
in the boxes at the start of the race?
A. I don’t get emotional or nervous before
or during races. I just figure that what will
be, will be. I did get emotional afterwards
though because he did so well and I
love him so much. Greyhounds are such
fantastic animals. For me it’s always
News From Sale
EL GRAND SENOR
Locally trained speedster El Grand
Senor has done the area proud with
victory in the recent Topgun. Dubbed
the “ Cox Plate of Greyhound Racing “
the Topgun is an Invitation only event
that draws together the best available
as one. It is encouraging to see Clubs
working together and as such we have
also included some bonuses for the
combined carnivals” said Sale Racing
Manager Des Dooley.
“A greyhound of the summer point score
will be conducted with points earned at
sixteen meetings held during the Sale
& Warragul Carnivals on the basis of 6
points for a win, 3 for 2nd, 2 for 3rd and
1 for unplaced runs. The greyhound with
the highest points will earn connections
$1000” added Dooley.
Warragul Manager Troy Harley is also
excited about the joint promotion. “The
Warragul Club is excited at staging its
inaugural Cup carnival in January 2011
but believe the success of the carnival
has been further boosted by becoming
involved with the highly successful and
established Sale carnival as well”
Harley continued “As a bonus for the
membership of each Club we have
all about the dogs because they try so
hard.
Q. You’ve trained a lot of city winners
over the years including Perth Cup
winner Elgrando. Is El Grand Senor the
best you’ve been involved with?
A. I don’t like comparing dogs.
They are all different and race in
different circumstances and different
environments and often in different eras.
I just appreciate what each of them are
and all that they do.
Q. You’ve been described as running
a one-woman greyhound training
operation. Do you find training
greyhounds physically demanding?
A. [laughs] I handled some young dogs
yesterday and my hands and wrists are
a bit sore today as a result. I’ve always
ridden horses and kept physically fit.
Mum [Pat] is 70 but comes around and
helps each day and my eight-year-old
niece Kiah also helps me out.
“I left school when I was 15 and started
my own dog grooming business before
going into training greyhounds full-time...
so I’ve never actually had a boss.”
Q. You’ve been in the greyhound industry
for 20 years. Tell us about your working
background.
A. I left school when I was 15 and started
my own dog grooming business, for
domestic dogs. I ran the business for 15
years, and in my last few years of doing
that I trained greyhounds as well. I’ve
been training greyhounds full-time for
bitch Elgrando Gold.

and her success in greyhound racing

Farm “ See above.

the past 10 or 12 years. So I’ve never
actually had a boss.
Q. You always seem to have city class
greyhounds in your kennel. What is the
secret to your success?
A. I breed one or two litters each year
and train anywhere between 2-5 race
dogs at a time. I don’t know about my
methods being a secret, but I feed my
pups virtually the same as my race dogs.
I feed them plenty of wholefoods such as
bones, milk straight from the cows and
fresh fruit and vegies. I also handle them
as much as I can, teach them to walk on
a lead from a young age and make sure
they get plenty of exercise.

El Grand Senor, trained at Fulham by
Carolyn Jones, made the race a one
act affair with a display of sustained
early and mid race pace that put the
race beyond doubt very early. After
opening up a 10 length mid race lead
El Grand Senor had a final winning
margin of 5 lengths.
Apart from the winners purse of
