on what your lifestyle is like. You do not need to
Keeping panic every time something falls on your carpets and

vacuum the area dry. In case the stain is stubborn
you should use a small amount of fabric detergent
to do spot cleaning as well. Fabric detergent is also
very effective against coffee stains as long as you use
it immediately after the spill. Mix some vinegar into
the detergent solution and use it to mop up the stain.
Lipstick stains can also be removed with the help of a
weak solution of white vinegar in water.

Carpets
Clean
Carpets are a very essential part of home
or office décor because they add warmth
and color to a room in addition protecting the
floor and reducing noise levels in the room.
However, the biggest problem associated with
using them is that they have to be cleaned regularly.
Carpet cleaning is certainly an expensive process
but it is also time consuming and cumbersome if the
carpeted area is very large. It is very important for you
to learn how to do spot cleaning of your carpets so
problem.
It is very common for food to fall on carpets even if
diners are careful. Stains caused by ketchup or pasta
sauce can look very jarring if the carpet is light in
color. You can do spot carpet cleaning by using plain
baking soda on the spill. It will foam for a couple of
minutes after which you should sponge the entire
debris away. Use a highly absorbent paper towel to
remove all the moisture left on the carpet and to pick
up any remaining baking soda.
Red wine or coffee can look disastrous
on a carpet. You need to do first aid
immediately if there has been a spill. Red
There are plenty of home remedies that you can follow
in order to keep your carpets stain free. However,
there are a few rules that you should always remember
while trying out carpet cleaning on your own. Firstly,
you should scrape away any solid matter whether it is
food, vomit or excrement. You should also dab away
at the stain using the appropriate cleaning product
and never wipe it because wiping will cause you to
spread it further. These carpet maintenance tips work
very well with regular vacuuming in order to reduce
your cleaning costs.

 Gippsland borrowers remain a
finance focussed bunch:
A recent survey of Gippsland
residents are so financially aware
that the recent spate of media
surrounding the finance market
hasn’t changed their attitudes to
debt, according to a recent survey.

Local Mortgage Broking firm Club

Financial Services conducted the
survey with their clients, to gain
insights into the financial mindset of average Gippsland residents. Being a part of
a national franchise network, also allowed the firm to compare these attitudes to
the national responses to the survey.

The survey mirrored questions a similar group of respondents were asked a year
ago, to allow changes in attitudes to be assessed. Interestingly the outcomes
almost echoed the previous year’s results.

Of the local respondents, around 86 per cent had home loans, 19 per cent investment
loans and 17 per cent personal loans. 59 per cent of individuals surveyed owed
between $100,000 and $300,000, while 21 per cent had borrowings between
$300,000 and $500,000, 6 per cent between $500,000 and $700,000 and 8 per
cent in excess of $700,000.

Club Financial Services Gippsland principal Rob Egan said on a positive note this
level of debt was much lower than the national average and slightly reduced when
compared with last years results.

He said it was also encouraging that talk of rising interest rates this year did not
appear to be causing alarm amongst respondents.

“With refinancing a general indication of pressure on household budgets,

approximately 83 per cent of respondents said they had not refinanced recently,
with 11 per cent signalling plans to refinance. This mirrored our national findings.

“Usually when there is a change in the economic climate borrowers tend to look for
ways to ease their cash flow by refinancing their loans, but these results show that
average Australians are coping reasonably well ”Mr Egan said.

Pots and MASSIVE

“When asked how they felt about their level of debt, 95 per cent of respondents

When asked about making extra repayments on their loans, encouragingly
Gippsland residents appear to have a greater focus on paying off their debt with
46 per cent of respondents noting that they top up their repayments every month
or fortnight (compared with 35 per cent nationally) and 23 per cent never making
BIRD extra repayments (compared with 35 per cent nationally).

BATHS The survey also found the majority of respondents had borrowed on a variable
$89.95 interest rate (77 per cent) and they knew the interest rate charged on their loans
(78 per cent).

Participants also signalled wealth creation being on their radar, with 26 per cent
of respondents indicating that purchasing an investment property is a current
consideration, which was 10 per cent lower than the national average.
Respondents were also asked directly whether their attitude to borrowing had
changed in the past year, with 58 per cent confirming no change, compared with
GIFTS 70 per cent nationally.

FOR ALL Changes noted by local respondents were all financially sound approaches and
included increasing loan payments (24 per cent), enlisting the services of a financial
OCCASIONS planner (10 per cent) and consolidating loans (5 per cent).
“The results show that by and large, average Gippsland residents are conscious of
keeping up with repayments and are financially aware,” Mr Egan said.

“These are not high-fliers but prudent individuals who are careful not to over-commit
themselves financially, which is a sound approach in the current climate”.
In what Mr Egan said was a further show of financial wisdom, similar to the national
and last years results, close to three quarters of respondents said if they won
$25,000 tomorrow they would invest the funds in their mortgage, property or deposit
GOURMET the windfall in a savings account.
FOOD “By comparison, only 11 per cent said they would go on a holiday, 5 per cent buy a
new car and 2 per cent invest in shares” he said.

“These findings indicate that average Gippsland residents and Australians overall
are focussed on their overall financial health and that the events of the past year, if
LARGE UNDERCOVER AREA anything, have cemented this position.”

When purchasing coffee beans it is better to

buy smaller amounts more often. Generally you
should only purchase as much as you can use
within about 10 to 14 days. The longer you can
leave your beans whole, the better, as beans
deteriorate in quality much quicker when they
are ground, so having your own grinder is a
definite advantage.

The choice of which beans to buy is now up

How to choose the best coffee beans !:
There is a huge selection of coffee
beans available on the market
today and there is no right or
wrong flavour, it all comes down
to personal taste. Buying coffee is
no different to buying wine, each
person’s palate is different, and
what tastes great to one person may
taste not so good to another.
Here are a couple of pieces of information that
may help you when choosing a coffee. There
are two main types of coffee bean, Arabica and
Robusta.
to you. It is better to choose a medium roast
to begin with and then you can go either
milder or stronger next time. Remember,
if you are having the beans ground, to
have them ground to suit the style
of coffee you are making. This is
very important!

Keeping Gippsland Beautiful

Holiday makers along Gippsland’s
coast are being urged to make a final
check for litter before they head for
home.
A site cleanup would help support
the anti littering campaign, Victoria’s
Coast Too Lovely to Litter, which aims
to reduce litter along the coastline by
at least 30 percent over the summer
and autumn holiday periods.
The litter prevention campaign asks
Gippsland residents and visitors to
the region to watch out for litter and to
report anyone seen to be littering. We
have many holiday makers that venture
to Gippsland to enjoy our beaches and
camping places, but to keep our coast
beautiful it’s important that people
remember to clean up their campsite
or beach area before they leave for
home.
Whether people are surfing at
Mallacoota, fishing at Lakes Entrance
or enjoying the southern beaches
around South Gippsland and Phillip
Island everyone wants to enjoy a litter
free, clean coastline.
Cleaning up your own litter also
encourages others to do the same.
Research shows people are less
inclined to leave their rubbish behind
in clean areas. The Too Lovely Too
Litter Campaign, the first of its kind
in Victoria, was launched just before
Christmas.
The campaign, involving the Gippsland
Regional Waste Management
Group and the four Gippsland local
governments with coastline (Wellington
Shire, East Gippsland Shire, South
Gippsland Shire and Bass Coast Shire)
focuses on the most visible types of
litter including takeaway containers
and wrappers, beverage containers,
cigarette butts and other types of
packaging.
The campaign is primarily funded by
the Australian Packaging Covenant
and EPA Victoria with funding from
five regional waste management
groups, including the Gippsland
Regional Waste Management Group.
In addition, funding and significant
in-kind support has come from 20
councils situated along the coast from
the South Australian to the New South
Wales borders.
The campaign runs until May 2011.

Locals learn more about the Latrobe
Almost 30 local landholders spent
a day learning more about the
Latrobe River, one of Victoria’s
hardest working rivers.
Hosted by the West Gippsland
Catchment Management Authority
(WGCMA) at the Noojee Reserve,
the event featured a range of guest
speakers to provide an in-depth
view of the health and inhabitants
of the river.
The participants were greeted
by Waterwatch Facilitator Nicole
Russell, who gave a presentation
on the macroinvertebrate (water
bugs) that live in freshwater rivers
and creeks. Wearing waders and
using a small net, Ms Russell
demonstrated different techniques
for surveying macroinvertebrates
while explaining how they were
useful indicators of river health.
Both children and adults took the
chance to get a close up view
through a microscope of the tiny
freshwater animals that were
captured.

Hot Rod Rumble 2011

Hot Rodders were hugely disappointed when
it became known that the Hot Rod Rumble, an
epic event held over the Easter 2005 weekend at
Calder Park, was put on hold after insurmountable
problems with the venue management.
Many Hot Rodders have been in constant touch
over the last few years hoping for a return of this
extremely successful event, well… the time has
finally come for this great event to be resurrected.
Hot Rod enthusiasts over Easter weekends in
subsequent years.
This event is modelled after the successful Kustoms
Of Australia event strategy, but with its own unique
flavour. Rockabilly festival, Hot Rods, Kustoms,
Musclecars, the Hot Rod Rumble will be structured
in such a way that its bound to bring enjoyment to all
automotive and music enthusiasts for many years
to come.

The 2011 Hot Rod Rumble will be held on the 16th-
17th of April 2011, the weekend prior to Easter, at
Lardner Park a great venue for such an event, and
the format, although varied from the first Hot Rod
Rumble, will still be exciting and entertaining.
This event is organised by Chopper and the Kustoms
of Australia krew, so ya just know it’s gonna be
fun. With so much going on your biggest concern
would be to choose which part of the action you’ll be
watching or participating in over the weekend.

We have plans in place to ensure that the Hot Rod Hey… guys & gals, life’s too short. Let’s cram

Love Living
Skin Care - Naturally
Recent research has shown
that the skin reacts particularly
well to certain vitamins, minerals
and antioxidants that nourish the
skin, making it appear youthful
and healthy. The following
nutrients are among the very
best to consume for healthy,
young-looking skin:
Silica:Silica is a trace mineral
that strengthens the body’s
connective tissues - muscles,
tendons, hair, ligaments, nails,
cartilage, and bone - and is
vital for healthy skin. Food
sources of silica include leeks,
green beans, garbanzo beans,
strawberries, cucumber, mango,
celery, asparagus and rhubarb.
Zinc: The mineral zinc is
an important component of
healthy skin, especially for
acne sufferers. Zinc acts by
controlling the production of oil
in the skin, and may also help
control some of the hormones
that create acne. Foods rich
in zinc include fresh oysters,
pumpkin seeds, ginger, pecans,
Brazil nuts, oats, and eggs. Zinc
can be purchased in supplement
form, in both liquid concentrates
and tablets.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Dry,
inflamed skin or skin that suffers
from the frequent appearance of
whiteheads or blackheads can
benefit from supplementing with
essential fatty acids (EFAs),
especially omega-3s. EFAs
are responsible for skin repair,
moisture content, and overall
flexibility, but because the body
cannot produce its own EFAs,
they must be obtained through
the diet.
Selenium: Selenium is an
antioxidant mineral responsible
for tissue elasticity. Dietary
sources of selenium include
wheat germ, seafood such as
tuna and salmon, garlic, Brazil
nuts, eggs, brown rice, and
whole-wheat bread. Brazil nuts
are perhaps the best source,
and eating just 3-4 Brazil nuts
per day provides adequate
selenium intake for most
people.
Vitamins C, E and A: Vitamin
C is highly effective at reducing
free radical damage, such as
that caused by overexposure to
the sun or pollution. Vitamin C is
especially effective at protecting
the skin from overexposure to
the sun when combined with
vitamin E. Foods high in vitamin
C include acerola (a cherry-
like fruit), red and green bell
peppers, guava, kale, parsley,
collard greens, turnips, and
broccoli.
Vitamin E is another powerful
antioxidant that reduces the
effects of sun exposure on
the skin. When combined with
vitamin A, vitamin E is especially
effective at preventing certain
skin cancers. Vitamin E also
reduces the appearance of
wrinkles, and, when applied
topically, soothes dry or rough
skin. Food sources of vitamin
E include wheat germ oil,
sunflower seeds, safflower
and sunflower oils, almonds,
spinach, peaches, prunes,
tomatoes, cabbage, asparagus,
and avocados.
Vitamin A promotes proper
repair and maintenance of
the skin, and deficiencies can
result in a dry, flaky complexion.
Topical vitamin A treatments
are often used to treat
acne and other skin
ailments. Foods high
in vitamin A include
liver, chili peppers,
dandelion, carrots,
apricots, collard
greens, kale, sweet
potatoes, spinach, and

stimulant and nerve tonic,

WOW What’s On When

On Easter Sunday, April 24. it will be the
Coronet Bay Easter Fair. This is our major
event for the year and is first and foremost
a family fun day, when the community and
its visitors get together, but it is also our
major fundraiser helping us to raise a little
more money to continue the improvement
of Coronet Bay.
As usual King Neptune will appear from
the sea and greet all the children and take
part in the opening ceremony with the
mayor, Cr. Veronica Dowman.
There will be many fun activities live music,
carnival rides, races, games with prizes as
well as helicopter rides. There will also be
an Easter egg hunt with a difference and
a sand castle competition, and the ever
popular “Best Dressed Dog” competition.
So dress up your pooch.
The Art Show this year will have an
important childrens competition with
pupils from the Bass Valley Primary
School showing their artistic skills on a
Fair theme.
To sustain us we will have top quality
sausages, hot dogs and gourmet

The Marriage of Figaro
By W.A. Motzart
This sparkling production of
Mozart’s classic comedy is a
feast for the ears and eyes.
It features an instrumental
ensemble sharing theatrical
and musical honours with
Co-Opera’s finest singers, all
beautifully dressed in period
wardrobe with a difference
– faintly comic, yet utterly
respectful to its performance
tradition. Once again, it is
conceived as ‘opera in the
round’ allowing a cabaret
format for satisfaction of all the
senses although it can just as
successfully be performed in a
pros arch theatre.
Co-Opera’s performance gives
newcomers an opportunity to
experience the delights of the
drama and the music at close
quarters. Seasoned opera
goers can take fresh delight in a
Figaro where every fine nuance
of musical and dramatic flavor
can be appreciated at close
quarters; where every voice in
an ensemble has its own life
and every flash of the eyes fully
understood.
Viva Figaro!

Artistic Director
This year there are two exciting new dimensions to
the Be Inspired Arts Festival:
First - we have the (brilliant) new festival theme
of LIGHT. Gippsland Light. Shining. Sparkling.
Flashing. Glorious light. The possibilities have been
endless - and artists across the region have been
inspired in a hundred different ways.
Secondly - Creative Gippsland was thrilled to appoint
its first ever Artistic Director - Neill Gladwin - to
East Gippsland Art Gallery, Bairnsdale
assist with the Festival
programming- and what
brilliance he has brought
to the role!
Neill, perhaps best
known as ‘half’ of the
internationally acclaimed
comedy duo Los Trios
Ringbarkus, and the
Lawnmower Man at
the Sydney Olympic
Games, has brought his
enormous and diverse
artistic and theatrical
experience to Gippsland
- and we are all the richer
for it. Thanks Neill !

An exhibition that explores the communication
of emotions.
Latrobe Regional Gallery is
at the heart of this Gippsland-
wide Festival. Throughout
May this fabulous gallery is
the home of We Feel Fine
- an exhibition that explores
the communication of
emotions - on a global scale.
We Feel Fine has been
harvesting human feelings
online since 2005. When
it finds the phrase ‘I feel
...’ , it creates a visual
representation of the
emotions that have been expressed. We Feel

Gippsland photographers in control of the light
[Image: Ellen Taylor]
What happens in 24 hours? People work and
play, they laugh and cry - some fall in love,
other have their hearts
broken. Lives come to a
close and new ones are
born - all in the course of
one turn of our planet. 24
Hours will explore lives
throughout Gippsland,
over the course of one
day and night.
Through the collective
work of photographers
from across the region, we
will have a rare insight into
who we are as individuals and as a community.
The photographic work will be beamed to us
via the Creative Gippsland website and through
images displayed in shopfronts, businesses and

One Small Window of Light
An ABC Open Gippsland video project featuring
snippets of life with a focus on capturing
variations in the light.
Gippslanders are invited to submit a raw video
between 30 and 60 seconds in length that
captures a moment in life, interpreting the
theme of light in whatever way they choose. It
could be the study of a sunset, a time lapse
on a traffic light, a night time neon scene or
looking at light reflecting from your back pond.-
the options are endless!
Reveal
A festival highlight event full of inflatables,
haiku, sound & light.
Reveal is a lakeside event, embracing sound,
movement and light - on a grand scale. Installed
in the Botanic Gardens at Sale, the energy
is focused on a commissioned work by artist
Mark Cuthbertson who chooses inflatables to
convey mood, feeling and ideas to the public
- in an irresistibly fun artform.
Larger than life - the Reveal installation will
incorporate the community’s response to
light through projected Haiku - simple words
constructed with an ancient rhythm. All this

 WOW Heyfield
The noise of Clanking Tractors, Putting Engines and Steam Whistles
echoes around the town of Heyfield on the third weekend of May
every year.

Locals only too well know the sights and sounds of the Heyfield and
District Vintage Machinery Group’s Annual Rally.

Every year Club Members, along with fellow enthusiasts from

other Clubs throughout Victoria and even New South Wales, fill
the Gordon Street Recreation Reserve with their pride and joy.
Everything from Stationary Engines of all shapes and sizes to Steam
Engines and Boilers, Vintage Cars, Trucks, Tractors, Motorbikes
and Memorabilia can be seen over the course of the weekend.

The Family always has plenty to look at at the Rally. Blacksmith

Demonstrations, Working Exhibits, Various Stalls, Daily Grand
Parade, Tractor Pull and this year sees the introduction of
Miniature Paddle Steamers to the Rally. It is more than enough
to keep everyone entertained, from the toddlers through to the
grandparents!

The Exhibitors, proud of their restorations, are only too happy to

talk about their treasure to anyone wanting to learn about part
of Australia’s heritage being preserved for future generations to
admire and also learn about.

Gates to the Rally open at 9am, closing at 4pm on Saturday and

3pm Sunday. Onsite catering is also available over the weekend at
the Rally grounds. Admission is $10 per adult, $5 per child (5 -16),
$25 per family, under 5 is free

So remember to put the 14th and 15th of May down in your diary
as a weekend to reminisce amongst the machinery that was such a
common sight many years ago.

Colliding Islands
9 April – 3 June 2011
Colliding Islands explores the shifting
cultural significance of landscape, from
traditional concepts of nature to the
socio-urban topography of contemporary
identities. Specifically, it considers the
complex, and sometimes ambivalent,
relationships we have with local and
international landscapes, including
conflicted landscapes.
Traditionally the well-established
landscape genre in Australia transplanted
a nostalgic, colonising view, reminiscent
of the mother country, onto the landscape.
Gradually this was mitigated by changing

music in various under-cover venues.
Bands appearing include the Des

Wonderdogs, Powerhous Blues Band,
Have Blues Will Travel, the Strzelecki

Because you can’t beat Experience
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
75 Queen St, Warragul GET LOST CAMPING
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/ How much clothing do I really need? Don’t take a
PH 03 5148 8791 Email: camping@licola.org.au Web: www.licola.org.au

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.
3/ Your choice of gear can have a great
bearing on you 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 they get seriously
snowed in. 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 autumn 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

Hello again.
It seems only yesterday that I was
writing the editorial for March. Time
certainly flies as you personally age.
It might also be something to do with
everything that’s happening on the
world scene.
Even we who live in the arguably best
country in the world have had our share
of events this year. Spare a thought or
prayer for those less fortunate than us.
Several people have completed Trial
Instruction Flights in March and they
all enjoyed the experience. Two of
them have commenced flight training
towards gaining their Recreational
Pilot’s Certificate.
The weather has lived up to its unpredictable
reputation and I have had to postphone quite
a few flights in March due to these weather
conditions. We could all be forgiven for thinking
that Winter is rapidly approaching, except for
the mild temperatures.
AVIATOR
AVGAS - FUEL AT WEST SALE AT
LAST!!!
On Friday 25th March, I spoke to the
Manager of the business who will position
the AVGAS fuel tanker at West Sale.
Apparently there will be no more hold ups
with the process and he expects to have
the tanker positioned at West Sale in the
first third of April.
AVGAS will be available Monday to
Friday during business hours. It is the
intention on weekends to have set time
slots allocated to refuel aircraft. Outside
these hours a callout fee will apply.I am
sure there will be a lot of aircraft owners
pleased with this news.
IMPORTED AIRCRAFT
The high value of the Australian Dollar
has prompted a number of Australian
pilots to purchase aircraft overseas, have
them shipped over and assembled locally.
Most are aircraft in the general aviation
category, though there is a recreational
category aircraft about to arrive in a
container that will once assembled, grace
our local skies.
THE COMING OF AGE OF LOCAL AVIATION
IDENTITY
Rudy Spiessl, a local aviation identity recently
joined those of us already beyond the big six
zero. A party was held for him to celebrate this
milestone at his home on Saturday evening.
Visitors came from Canberra, Merimbula,
the Melbourne area and from throughout
Gippsland.
Rudy has been involved in the aviation industry
for many years, his expertise in aircraft engines,
both horizontally opposed and radial, puts him
in a league of only a few in Australia in his field.
I recall in the 1970’s asking Chris Sperou (the
Australian Aerobatic Champion in those days)
where he had his engines overhauled and
prepared, Chris immediately replied “Rudy
Spiessl at Sale in Gippsland, Victoria!”
What Chris Sperou couldn’t do in an aircraft
wasn’t worth doing. The same could be said for
the Late Pip Borman. Many of us remember Pip
for his flying expertise and commentary as he
flew, tumbled and gyroscopically precessed all
over the sky in extremely entertaining aerobatic
displays.
Rudy built Pips engines as well. These
custom-made, blue printed engines were put

through manoeuvres I’m sure they were never
designed to do but they consistently performed
beyond expectations - a testament to Rudy’s
experience, expertise and high quality product.
Rudy has been responsible for training quite a
number of apprentices over the years. His first
apprentice graduate (now living in Canberra)
attended Rudy’s birthday party on Saturday,
surely a testament to Rudy’s character and
the professional respect he has forged in
the Australian aviation industry. Australia’s
aviation industry, both in general aviation and
recreational aviation need more people like
Rudy Spiessl.

Pioneer Skills and Colonial Crafts Day

Step back in time
The land that is now Nyerimilang Heritage Park was
first owned by Mr A Murray in 1884. He later transferred
it to Frank Stuart of Melbourne who built a home as a
base for fishing and shooting holidays at the Gippsland
Lakes.
During the early 1920’s his son Frank Jnr extended the
house, developed the surrounding gardens and lived
here in style, complete with housemaids and gardener.
When Frank Stuart Jnr died in 1936 his widow gave
the property to the Anglican Diocese of Gippsland for
use as a Boys Training Farm.
William Buckland, ‘the quiet millionaire’ bought
Nyerimilang in the 1940’s and occasionally used it as a
holiday home. After he died in 1964, the property was
purchased by Jack Ramsdell who used it as a cattle
stud. Nyerimilang was purchased by the Victorian 3 pm. Adults $4, children free.

SALE NEWS
Family Tradition Continues
Young Trainer Jodie Elston is
continuing a 4 generation involvement
of training greyhounds. Jodie’s first
greyhound, Puppy Express, won back
to back races at Cranbourne during
February and March.
The family involvement in greyhound
racing, particularly in the Sale area,
stretches back to the Field Coursing
days and later the commencement
of Speed Coursing in Sale. Jodies
Great Grand Father, Pop Anton, was
consistently in the winners circle at
Sale from the very first meeting in
1936 and this tradition has continued
through the Perkins and Elston families
right up to the present time.
The challenge now for Jodie is to win a
race on the Sale Track and so become
the 4th generation trainer to win on the
Sale circuit.
Anzac Day at Sale
A special additional meeting has been
allocated to Sale on Monday 25th April.
With Anzac Day and Easter Monday
coinciding this year this daytime
meeting is sure to be popular with
locals and the many holiday makers in
the area.
A feature of the day will be a legally
approved game of two up with the
proceeds going to the Sale branch of
the RSL.
Two up or as it was one time known “
Swy “ has often been described as the
“ fairest game in the world “
Two up ( Swy ) is a Traditional true
blue Australian game that originated in
the Armed Services at the beginning of
the last century. The game can now be
played legally in casinos or on special
commemorative days such as Anzac
Day.
All Anzac Day activities will commence
soon after 1.00pm
CMCA Rally 2012
The Campervan and Motorhome Club
of Australia
(CMCA ) will hold their National Rally
at Sale during the Easter Week in
2012.
With up to 1000 Vans and Motorhomes
converging on Sale it is a massive
logistical exercise to just accommodate
a Rally of this size.
Wellington Shire is fortunate to have
a resource available such as the
Greyhound and Showgrounds complex
and the adjoining grounds of Gippsland
Grammar. It is even more pleasing
that the various stakeholders such as
the Wellington Shire Council, The Sale
and District Agricultural Society, The
Sale Greyhound Racing Club and the
Gippsland Grammar have worked so
well together to make it happen.
The whole community benefits from the
economic benefits and the exposure
that the Wellington Shire area will
attract.

El Grand Senor chasing a Golden

The Golden Easter Egg carries a first

Sydney’s Wentworth Park circuit and

El Grand Senor has overcome an
injury setback which caused him to
miss the Australian Cup Carnival and
now trainer Carolyn Jones is preparing
the black speedster for the Egg.
The 3 weeks series of the 520m race

Climate Change –
Let’s Have A Proper Debate
There is no doubting that climate
change is on the political agenda for
the foreseeable future and it deserves
to be whether you are a “believer” or
“sceptic”.
It would seem that the vast majority
of people believe that the climate is
changing and the debate that is raging
is more about the extent to which
mankind is the cause of the change.
Clearly, the “believers” believe that
mankind’s actions are a significant
contributing factor and the “sceptics”
do not.
Possibly, it matters little that there is
this divide between the “believers”
and the “sceptics”, and what is more
important is that we all agree on the
need to take appropriate and sensible
steps to reduce our environmental
footprint which will benefit the globe
anyway, whether you are a “believer”
or “sceptic”.
If we approach climate change from
this prospective, the focus shifts from
an argument between the “believers”
and the “sceptics” about who or what
is causing climate change to action to
reduce our environmental footprint.
The remedial action to reduce our
environmental footprint has not been
debated in as dispassionate and non-
political manner as it should, because
of the polarisation created by the
labels “believers” and “sceptics”.
Which then brings me to the proposed
carbon tax, which is not being debated
