By Jo WinterbottomPARENTS beware – police will be on the prowl at schools in Mt Eliza, Mornington and Mt Martha in coming weeks, ready to pounce on mums, dads and grandparents who fl out parking and road rules at busy morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times.
Acting Sergeant Mark Patrick of Mornington police said uniformed and
plain-clothed police would patrol in marked and unmarked cars in a joint operation with Mornington Peninsula Shire.
The police CREST car, part-fi nanced by the shire and Frankston Council, would be used in the operation.

By Mike HastFORMER Mornington Racing Club chief executive Fraser Bayne has re-signed from Melbourne Racing Club where he was marketing and racing general manager.
Mr Bayne has quit to start a market-ing business.
Mornington and Melbourne racing clubs amalgamated in mid-2010, the biggest change in the then 111-year his tory of the club on the peninsula.
Mr Bayne was appointed CEO of Mornington in July 2008, replacing Michael Browell who joined Moonee Valley Racing Club as CEO.
Melbourne Racing Club announced last week it was dismantling racing ad mi nistration and replacing it with three departments – one to run its pubs, clubs and poker machines, a property portfolio section and one for racing and training.
It was reported the changes would see Mr Bayne, chief executive Alas-dair Robertson and chief fi nancial of-fi cer Wayne Sumner lose their jobs but Mr Bayne told The News he had resigned to pursue his own projects.
“I’ve been in the job for fi ve years and that seems to be the time I stay in jobs as my previous two also lasted for fi ve years,” he said.
Mr Bayne said the merger of the clubs meant “the racing product has never been better” with Mornington Cup day races now worth $1 million in prize money and trophies with the win-ner of the $350,000 Mornington Cup gaining entry to the Caulfi eld Cup.
The upgrade to the Mornington track had made it a metropolitan standard
track. Sewage works were currently under way, he said.
Mr Bayne, 42, from the well-known Tyabb family (his father is a pharma-cist in Hastings and brother Brad runs the Telstra shop in Hastings), said he would join Mornington as a normal member and continue to attend race days.
He leaves Melbourne Racing Club this week.
Changes at the top of the club, the wealthiest racing club in Australia with assets of about $500 million, come as it moves from being a racing organisa-tion to a big business.
Melbourne Racing Club operates Caul fi eld and Mornington, and owns Sandown.
In recent times it has taken control of more than 700 poker machines at 12 pubs and clubs including Steeples in Mornington, completed a $100 mil-lion property development around the Caulfi eld track and built other busi-nesses.
Income from the pubs and clubs in-creased from $15 million to $22 mil-lion last fi nancial year and is ex pected to continue rising. Steeples is one of the club’s most profi table outlets.

COMMENTBy Mike HastTHERE’S confusion about the age of Mornington’s highly successful Wed-nesday street market.
Recent publicity stated the market turned 30 earlier this month.
This is incorrect – the market started on 26 September 1979 so celebrates its 34th birthday later this year.
The confusion may be connected to the date when the founder of the mar-ket, my father Tom Hast, handed its administration to Mornington Cham-ber of Commerce.
Father visited the United Kingdom and Europe in 1978 and was excited to come across village markets and see how they brought visitors to a town.
He could see a market would be one way of revitalising Mornington on Wed nesdays, traditionally the quietest day of the working week.
It’s hard to believe now but Morn-ington’s shops used to close on Wed-nes day afternoons. When the tradi-tion was dropped, older residents still avoid ed Main St.
The shops were closed on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, too, but that’s another story.
Father returned from the UK fi red up about starting a street market, but his enthusiasm was not shared by all mov-ers and shakers in the town.
The idea had the backing of
Morning ton Council and certain mem-bers of the chamber of commerce but no one was interested in running it. Fa-ther decided to do it himself.
His offi ce was in an arcade near the Grand Hotel, well located to keep an eye on stallholders and collect their fees.
Resistance from some traders was overcome when he suggested they place a table of slow-moving goods on the footpath, which worked well for many years.
Here is an article printed in The Age a month after the market started in 1979:
The Age, 24 October 1979This market’s a marked successBy Sarah ChesterMornington Council has gone to
mar ket in an attempt to increase em-ployment, boost the town’s economy and attract business for shopkeepers.
And it has – shopkeepers’ turnover has risen more than 20 per cent on mar ket days.
The market is held every Wednes-day at 9 am on the wide footpaths of the main street.
The shopkeepers place trestles out-side their shops and market stalls are set up on the kerbside of the foot-paths to sell “arty crafty” Peninsula products and local produce.
Councillor Tom Hast proposed the market to the council after seeing
suc cessful markets in many English and European towns last year. The market opened on September 26.Father handed the market to the
cham ber in the 1980s and it was run by Maree Abbott, who was working for Bernie Taylor at the Grand Hotel as well as for the chamber.
Ms Abbott was later the manager of Mornington Village shopping centre in Main St and now runs Bentons Square shopping centre in Mornington East.
Former chamber boss Alan Caton said knowledge of the true age of the market had been lost because of “many changes of personnel at the chamber”.
The market has been a great money-spinner for the chamber over the years and allowed it to promote the town and pay wages.
The street market’s motto from day one was all goods should be home-made or homegrown, and most items fulfi l the requirement to this day al-though you will hear a few grumbles from some traders about the source of some goods and about how busy the town is on Wednesdays.
Father, who died aged 82 in late 2010, always loved to see how busy the town was on Wednesdays. Mornington also has a farmers mar-ket. It started late last year and is held from 8.30am-1pm on the second Sat-urday each month at Mornington Park at the Port Phillip end of Main St.

By Debra MarMORE than 600 women attended the second annual Seven Sisters Festival at Joseph Harris Scout Park at Mt Martha on the weekend.
Women of all ages from diverse backgrounds and lifestyles gathered to share life experiences, “girlfriend power” and immerse themselves in workshops that provided inspiration, exploration and fun.
Some women travelled from Perth, Brisbane, Sydney and Tasmania.
The site resembled a medieval wonderland with beautifully coloured marquees and teepees scattered
among trees. Women participated in 48 workshops and activities including talks on women’s health, the art of dance and movement, yoga, meditation, weaving circles, roving performers, healers and jewellery making.
You can’t have a gathering of women without some retail therapy so stalls were set up to sell arts and crafts.
As the sun set and night fell on Saturday, the sound of crackling bonfi res and inspiring soul music fi lled the air.
Event director and founder Lauren
Woodman said she was amazed at the growing need for women to create space to get in touch with themselves and learn in a safe and harmonious environment.
“I’m overwhelmed and ecstatic that women have come together, and to see ‘love and light’ and happy smiles, I know I am doing the right thing,” Dr Woodman said.
“Word is getting around through Facebook and women’s network groups. Women benefi t from allowing themselves to have time out to heal, rejuvenate, nurture and honour themselves.”
About 70 volunteers helped run the event.
A percentage of ticket sales went to the Global Women’s Project, Traditional Healthcare and The Art2Healing Project, non-profi t charitable organisations that support women.
The festival will return to Mt Martha next autumn.
Details: www.sevensistersfestival.com Debra Mar is in the sales and marketing department at RPP-FM, which promoted the festival.
By Jo WinterbottomIT was a horrendous homecoming for a Mt Martha family who returned from holidays to fi nd their house had been stripped by thieves.
The stolen goods, valued at more than $50,000, included white goods, electrical appliances, gas heating units, sporting equipment and power tools.
To add insult to injury, the family’s heavy duty trailer, which was also sto-len, may have been used by thieves to pack and transport the goods.
Detective Senior Constable Rohan Brock of Mornington crime investiga-tion unit said it appeared the thieves knew the family was on holiday and were able to take their time to strip the home of valuables.
The burglary occurred during the fi rst week of the recent school holi-days; the family was away from Good Friday, 29 March, until Sunday 7 April, when they alerted police.
Detective Brock said some of the stolen goods may have found their way on to the black market.
Anyone with information can con-tact Mornington police on 5970 4900 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Mt Eliza theftsMORNINGTON police have warned that thieves are active in the Mt Eliza area, with an increase in reports of thefts from vehicles.
Detective Senior Constable Rohan Brock said unlocked cars containing valuables were the target of thieves cruising residential areas at night.
“Unfortunately, it’s the same old message – lock up your cars and don’t leave valuables inside,” he said.

IT’S April and young kookaburras on the Mornington Peninsula are out of the nest and taking on an important role in the kookaburra family.
If you see one kookaburra around, it’s likely a whole family is living near you – and there are plenty of things that can be done to be a Backyard Bud-dy to kookaburras.
Backyard Buddies is a free program run by Australia’s Foundation for Na-tional Parks and Wildlife, which pro-vides tips to make a backyard inviting and safe for native animals.
“Around this time of year, kooka-
burras that were only chicks a little while ago are old enough to begin helping out their parents,” said Susan-na Bradshaw, CEO of the foun dation.
“The young birds stay with their fa-mily group for up to four years, raising siblings and helping the family to de-fend their home turf.
“The kookaburra’s distinctive ‘koo-hoo-hoo-hoo-haa-haa-haa-haa’ isn’t a belly laugh – it’s a territorial display.
“Kookaburras make various sounds to communicate. At any time of year they chuckle to locate family mem bers. During the breeding season from Sep-
tember to January they make a ‘chuck’ to fi nd their family, and ‘squawk’ to beg for food from other kookaburras in the group.
“Their famous laugh tells other koo-ka s that ‘This is our home, and we’ll fi ght for it’. If you listen to the calls, usually made in chorus by a family of kookas, you should be able to discover the boundaries of their territory.
“Watch out if you hear a ‘kooaa’ and a loud cackle – the fi rst call is a warn-ing to the family group and the sec-ond signals aggression. Kookaburras cac kle maniacally before two warring
groups clash over territory.“To defend their home, laughing
kookaburras in Victoria dart sharply to and fro, passing each other in mid-air like trapeze artists. Barrages of sinis-ter laughter reverberate between the disputing groups, among the bright fl ashes of their brown and blue wings.”
Ms Bradshaw said a family’s terri-tory can extend up to 100 house blocks and include parkland as well. Kooka-burras are quite at home in urban areas.
“As young kookaburras don’t go off and start their own families for a num-ber of years, the overall birth rate of
the species is low,” she said.“Kookaburras can be in trouble if a
sudden event such as habitat destruc-tion or a misuse of pesticides wipes out a number of birds. It will take the population a long time to recover.
“There are many simple things we can do to protect this national icon. Kookaburras are great to have around – not only do they provide lots of enter tainment, but also they eat mice, insects and even small snakes in gar-dens.”

All about laughing kookasAll about laughing kookas Avoid spraying chemicals in the garden as they could affect species other than the ones you’re targeting. Don’t put rodent poison outdoors as a kookaburra could eat a poisoned mouse and become ill or die. Keep pets indoors, especially cats at night, as they can disturb or attack native birds. If you fi nd an injured kookaburra, call an animal rescue and rehabilitation group or veterinarian. Retain old trees as they provide nesting sites. Plant gum trees so there will be good nesting sites in the future. To see kookaburras up close, put stumps and rocks around the garden as they love to sit on them. Mulch the garden and this will attract lizards and insects, favourite food for kookaburras. Kookaburras have fantastic hunting skills, and make a great living catching natural prey. They don’t need people to feed them or they could become dependent on people or become sick.
Kookaburra factsKookaburra facts Kookaburras can live for up to 20 years in good conditions. There are two species of kookaburra – the laughing kookaburra and the blue-winged kookaburra. Laughing kookaburras live in eastern Australia in Queensland, NSW, ACT, Victoria and SA. They have been introduced to Tasmania and south-western WA. Blue-winged kookaburras live along Australia’s north coast in Queensland, NT and WA. Blue-winged kookaburras are smaller than laughing kookaburras, have blue wings and tail, and a white iris in contrast to the laughing kookaburra’s deep brown eye. The birds have several different calls to communicate. Kookaburras are the largest kind of kingfi sher – but, oddly, they don’t usually eat fi sh.

SHIRE residents can dump green waste free of charge on the weekend at three waste disposal centres.
The service is for shire residents only, with green waste accepted from domestic vehicles and trailers only.
No commercial vehicles or green waste from com mercial operations will be accepted.
Mornington Peninsula Shire’s waste centres are in McKirdys Rd, Tyabb; Watt Rd, Mornington; and Truemans Rd, Rye, and will be open 8am-5pm Saturday and Sunday.
A shire spokesman said delays were expected at the Mornington centre and residents were en couraged to use the Tyabb centre to avoid delays.
Mornington can only accept up to three cubic metres of green waste per trip. Proof of residency is required, for example a driving licence or a copy of a rates notice.
Green waste includes all types of garden waste and untreated timber.
Residents in urban areas can also dis-pose of green waste every second week through the shire’s kerbside green waste bin at a cost of $130 a year.
Dump TVs, tooDump TVs, tooResidents and small businesses now can dump computer equipment, tele-visions and computer monitors free of charge.
The shire has formed a partnership with DHL, QLS Ecycle Solutions and Ozanam Enterprises to collect so-
called “e-waste” at its waste centres in Tyabb, Mornington and Rye.
The initiative is part of the federal government’s National Television and Computer Product Ste ward ship Scheme.
It passes the responsibility of recy-cling to manu facturers when televi-sions and computer equipment is dis-carded. There is a limit of 15 items per drop off.
The computer equipment and televi-sions are dis mantled by Ozanam En-terprises, a disability employment sup-port service in Mornington. Pieces are then transported to separate recycling facilities for processing.
For more information about the free green waste service, kerbside green bin collection or e-waste dumping, call the shire on 1300 850 600, 5950 1000 or visit www.mornpen.vic.gov.au

By Ilona FennerON or around Anzac Day, residents and visitors to Phillip and French is-lands will witness an extraordinary migratory ritual that is played out annually by about one million short-tailed shearwaters, or muttonbirds.
The plucky birds complete a spec-tacular migration of 15,000 kilome-tres, setting out with a strong wind that carries them up the east coast of Australia, then through the Pacifi c to Japan and fi nally the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska.
The adult birds leave behind their chicks, still covered in brown down and almost twice their own weight. For the next two to three weeks the chicks stay in their burrows, living off their stored fat and oil.
With the aid of a strong westerly wind the chicks begin their fi rst mi-gration, attempting to catch their par-ents. Some make it and some land on the roads, to be crushed by passing vehicles, or fall to their death in the sea.
The departure in April and May completes a cycle that begins when shearwaters arrive on the shores of Western Port around 24 September every year.
They stay for nearly six months to rest, build their burrows and mate, each pair producing one large egg.
This ritual has been played out over the centuries and shearwaters have been valued by both the indigenous Boonwurrung people for their meat and perceived medicinal qualities and by the early European settlers for their
eggs.Unfortunately, unsustainable over-
harvesting by early European settlers threatened the survival of the bird colonies.
Since then population numbers have dropped dramatically due to a combination of farming, soil erosion, foxes, roaming dogs, feral cats, intro-duced grasses and industrial develop-ment.
The shearwater’s somewhat perilous existence is also threatened by a num-ber of natural predators including Pa-cifi c gulls, ravens, hawks and eagles, with their eggs being sought by silver gulls, lizards and copperhead snakes.
At sea, they fall victim to fi shing nets, oil spills, plastic pollution and overfi shing.
As a result, short-tailed shearwaters are now protected by state law and in-ternational treaty.
The species is one of a number benefi ting from the Ramsar Protec-tion Program, coordinated by the Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority.
Phillip Island Nature Park, with help from the Ramsar program, pro-vides a sanctuary for the shearwaters, protecting them through predator control programs, habitat manage-ment and education.
Shearwaters are a favourite food for feral cats and the program has provid-ed the resources to enable year round control of their numbers to reduce the level of threat.
The program has also supported extensive weed control on the island, suppressing the kikuyu grass that pre-
vents shearwaters from digging their burrows as well as removing box-thorn that can impale them.
Resources from the Ramsar pro-gram have also enabled partner Parks Victoria to conduct extensive feral cat control programs on French Is-land over the past three winters. Their work has resulted in far greater pro-tection for the colony of shearwaters living on French Island at Tortoise Head.
The program has provided its part-ners with the resources to produce coordinated landscape scale pest and weed control outcomes, with the re-sult that the character of rare and precious wetlands is being protected and habitat for migratory seabirds in Western Port preserved.
It is helping to ensure that short-tailed shearwaters will have a safe and friendly destination for landing and breeding in the region for many years to come.
The Ramsar Protection Program is funded through the federal govern-ment’s Caring for our Country and is part of the government’s commitment to the international Ramsar Conven-tion, which strives for the conserva-tion and wise use of all wetlands.
Parks Victoria and the Phillip Island Nature Park are both partners in the Ramsar program, working to protect habitat for shearwaters and other mi-gratory birds in the region.

By Keith PlattA NEW master plan is designed to provide “appropriate investment” at Point Nepean’s “under-utilised” 17-hectare quarantine precinct.
When releasing the plan on Sunday, Environment and Climate Change Minister Ryan Smith said it was “cen-tral to breathing new life” into the his-toric precinct.
“Due to the site’s former use as a military barracks, many of its 50 plus buildings have been locked up from public access over many decades,” Mr Smith said.
“Appropriate and sensitive private investment is critical in ensuring the long-term survival of the site’s historic and culturally signifi cant buildings.”
But it is the height and use of new buildings that most concerns those who have been involved in past battles to prevent over-development at Point Nepean.
“High rise seems to be a fetish of this government,” Chris Smyth of the Victorian National Parks Association said. “New buildings should be no higher than those already at Point Ne-pean.”
Mr Smyth said heritage buildings should be “adapted” or new buildings limited to the footprints of any build-ings slated for demolition.
“We want to see a diverse mix of uses in the park, not just a major enter-prise that could fall over.”
Some proposals made before con-trol of the land was handed to Victoria were “half-baked”.
Mr Smyth said the VNPA would not object to the demolition of two

blocks built by the army in the 1970s, although it would prefer the sites to remain unused to “open up the view”.
Ryan Smith said the latest plan was “a key step in securing private sector investment to help preserve this im-portant part of our history, ensuring it
is cared for and accessible to the Vic-torian public”.
The government wanted to “strike the right balance between preserving the historical, natural and cultural val-ues of the national park and ensuring the buildings in the Quarantine Station

precinct are able to support an appro-priate mix of tourism and other oppor-tunities, including potential cultural, recreational and educational uses”.
Mr Smith said a commercial expres-sion of interest would be marketed lo-cally, nationally and internationally.
“A shortlisted group of organisa-tions will be invited to submit a formal proposal on the future uses of the site.
“We want to see proposals that ca-ter for people from all backgrounds, that are affordable, accessible and that make a contribution to the local economy by creating jobs and tourism opportunities on the peninsula.”
A report by the Victorian Competi-tion and Effi ciency Commission last month recommended “sensible and sensitive developments in national parks” to unlock Victorian tourism.
Victoria Tourism Industry Council chief executive Dianne Smith said the plan “shows real vision for a site that has so much unfulfi lled potential and sets out sensible and appropriate op-tions for Point Nepean”.
“There must be a collaborative ap-proach to implementing this master plan from all stakeholders, including industry, and state and local govern-ment, to ensure the site is developed into a sustainable tourism destination that considers the environmental sen-sitivities of the area.”
The Point Nepean master plan is available at www.dse.vic.gov.au and a community information session will be held 10am-2pm at the Quarantine Station on Saturday 4 May.

ENSCONCED behind a Cypress Hedge and a feature stone wall incorporating a security gate, this stylish rural retreat is on a picturesque 8096-square metres full of beautiful gum trees. At the end of a quiet country lane, this family home is well-designed with a lovely garden outlook from most windows. A double carport is under the roofl ine and from the grand entry the home stretches away revealing an expanse of fl oating timber fl oors and a pleasant neutral decor. There are two living areas, including space for formal dining, positioned on either side of an alfresco entertaining area. A formal lounge has a striking brick feature wall with gas heater and the central kitchen has a clean, functional look with stainless-steel appliances including a dishwasher and wall oven. There are three bedrooms, all with built-in robes, and the master bedroom has an ensuite with a spa bath. There is a second bathroom and a large laundry. A separate study could be a fourth bedroom if required. The boundary of the property is fully-fenced and other external improvements include a large machinery shed, discreetly hidden behind a tall stand of hedges. The park-like setting that surrounds the home is still maturing, with many smaller trees planted to complement the tall, established gums. It is pleasing to see a quality rural-residential address where neighbours do not encroach too much on each other. Nothing seems more pointless than to build on acreage and have a neighbour 30-feet away, so this handsome, ranch-style home should appeal to families seeking some privacy, and the peace and quiet of a rural location.

Compiled by Matt VowellFrom the pages of the Mornington Standard, April 19th 1913. MR Arthur Douglas, the famous co-median, who has just recently landed from Scotland, and who has appeared at the same hall and on the same pro-gramme as the noted comedian, Mr Harry Lauder, has advised the man-agement of the Frankston Choral So-ciety that he will he pleased to appear before a Frankston audience at one of the Society’s future concerts. Mr Douglas is at present touring Victo-ria, and the Melbourne Press speak highly of his talent. He as a comedian is reputed to be second only to the renowned Harry Lauder. The appear-ance of this clever artist in Frankston is looked forward to. ***THE prohibition of fi shing in the Lang Lang River up to 15th December, 1915, has been proclaimed under the authority of the State Executive. An-other matter which was decided by the Executive Council at Tuesday’s meet-ing was a regulation to the effect that no boat shall be engaged in fi shing un-less it has been registered at the offi ce of the Inspector of Fisheries. Every boat so registered shall bear the letters R.F.B (registered fi shing boat) painted legibly on the bows and clear of the water line. The letters are to be not less than three inches in length, and are to be kept painted clearly in white on a dark ground, or in black on a white ground. ***MESSRS Croft Bros, storekeepers, of Somerville, have purchased the old es-tablished business of Messrs A. Nunn and Sons at Somerville, and will take
possession on 1st May. ***THE Abbotsford Brewery held a very enjoyable picnic at Mornington on Saturday last, per the S.S. Hygeia, which was well attended. This is the last of the long list of picnics booked to take place at Mornington this sea-son. ***THE fi nal game of the ladies handi-cap tournament on the Frankston ten-nis court was played on Saturday last, when Miss D. Gregory beat Miss Dial 6-5 6-5. Miss Gregory was declared the winner, she having gone through the tournament, without a defeat. On Wednesday last the gents tournament was completed, the fi nal game being played by Messrs R. Bates, receive 30, and C P Watson, owe 30. The result was a victory for Mr Bates, who de-feated his opponent, the scores being 6-5, 5-6, 6-2. The donors of the tro-phies were Mr Stewart for the gents, and Mr A. D. Box for the ladies. ***THE opening night of St. Peter’s (boys) Gymnasium Club took place at St. Peter’s schoolroom, Mornington, on Monday evening last. About twenty members were enrolled for the coming season. The lads are taking great inter-est in the work, and the club (under the leadership of Mr Sanders), promises to be as successful as previous seasons. *** THE Governor, Sir John Fuller, who is to unveil the cairn erected at Flin-ders to the memory of Bass and Flin-ders, arrived at “Moondah” on Friday, where he was the guest of Mr and Mrs James Grace. On Saturday (today) he will proceed to Flinders per mo-
tor, perform the unveiling ceremony, and then motor to Melbourne. He will be accompanied by Captain Curwen, A.D.C. ***AN up-to-date concert will be given in the Frankston hall this Saturday even-ing by picked artists from the Smil-ers, Stretchers, Billikens, Grafters, Gay Gordons, Outcasts, Sons of Rest, drumming Birds camps, also Misses Jean Goldspink, Myrtle Cobburn and Addie Turner. The proceeds goes in aid of the Frankston football club, and it is expected that the performers will be greeted with a bumper house. Tick-ets can be obtained at ls, children half price, with a few reserved chairs at 1s 6d. The box plan may be seen at E. Worrall’s shop. ***A PRACTICE football match between Mornington and Somerville will take place today (Saturday) at Somerville. Drags will leave Mornington punctu-ally at 1.30. ***MESSRS Edgar and Son, of Morning-ton, suffered a loss this week when a stack of hay, containing over twenty tons, at their farm on the Three-chain road, was set alight by heavy rain causing combustion: The whole stack was burnt to the ground. ***MR R. Bates sailed from Melbourne on Wednesday last by the “Persic” on an extended trip to England and America. His absence will be severely felt in the Frankston football club this season, he being one of the leading players last year. ***A MEETING of a local land board to
consider the application of the Shire of Frankston and Hastings, for the use of one acre of reserve known locally as “Black’s Camp,” for a rubbish tip, will be held at Somerville on Tuesday, 29th April, at 10am. ***THE Saturday night social club com-mittee at Somerville has resigned, and a special meeting is called for Satur-day night to see what steps are to be taken as to the future of the club. The original idea was that the club should be of some educational value, but it has degenerated into a mere dance club. ***THE bulk of the export of fruit is over, and growers in this district are devot-ing more time to the local markets, only to fi nd them less remunerative than was expected. The strike in Syd-ney caused a lot of fruit to be thrown on the local markets, and, consequent-ly, a glut resulted. Cabbage growers are still reaping a golden harvest. ***THE projected football match, which was to have been played this Satur-day afternoon, between the Footscray Rowing Club and Frankston teams, has been declared off, owing to the in-ability of the club to make the trip. A practice match will probably be held in the park, when a good muster of old and new players is requested. ***A CONCERT will be held in the Ty-abb hall on Tuesday next, 22nd inst., when a programme will be given by Frankston artists, assisted by the Frankston Art Society. Drags leave Frankston, from Mr J. Reynolds’ shop, at 7 o’clock, and anyone, other than
performers, may make the trip for 2s return. ***THERE was only a fair attendance at the links on Wednesday afternoon, the opening day of the Mornington Golf Club. The majority of its members are still wrapped up in tennis. Eight com-petitors took part in the Men’s Handi-cap (18 hole competition), which was won by Mr A B. Murphy (handicap 2) ***THE members of the Women’s Chris-tian Temperance Union, Frankston branch, held their monthly meeting on April 9th in the Methodist Hall. There was a very good attendance of mem-bers, and Mrs Twining presided. At the conclusion of the routine business, and while afternoon tea was being served, Mrs Lowe, an esteemed member and vice-president, who is leaving the dis-trict, was presented by the members with the badge of the White Ribbon Sisterhood. A profi table time was spent in the cause of temperance, and then the meeting closed with the sing-ing of the Doxology. ***A DEPUTATION was introduced by Mr A. Downward, M.L.A, to Mr J. Thomson, Acting Minister for Lands, from Frankston on Wednesday last, to object to any portion of the foreshore reserve being leased for business pur-poses. Mr Thomson, in reply, agreed that the foreshore reserves should be kept for the people. The business plac-es of Frankston could surely cater for the wants of visitors without this spe-cial provision. However, neither he or Mr H. McKenzie, Minister of Lands, would visit the locality and see the re-serve before giving an answer.

Healthy Living
By Dr Paul DowieIF you have foot and leg pain, problems or inju-ries, you can be confi dent knowing expert help is just around the corner.
Heel pain and spurs, plantar fasciitis, arch and forefoot pain, bunions, knee pain and injuries are all common concerns that can be solved.
Foot and Leg Pain Clinics, one of Australia’s leading podiatry practices focusing on mus-culoskeletal issues and sports medicine, have assisted thousands of people across Melbourne with pain and injuries.
There are many conditions left untreated because people just put up with them, are told nothing can be done for them or that surgery and/or medication is their only option. With the latest medical research and treatments, most foot and leg pain, degenerative issues and injuries can be treated relatively easily. We can even assist soft tissue regeneration and heal injuries thanks to new injection therapies, which are natural and safe. The fi rst key to healing is hav-ing the right diagnosis and advice.
If you’ve been told any of the following
related to your foot and leg pain, contact us for a second opinion:
1. You require surgery – with the latest advances in medical research and treatments, surgery can be avoided in many cases. We’ve assisted many people to avoid surgery, even when they’ve been told it’s their only option.
2. You require cortisone injections or anti-infl ammatory medications – such treatments have now been proven to have many negative side-effects including damaging tissue and de-laying healing. There are more effective, natural alternatives.
3. There is nothing that can be done for you – not everybody knows everything, even health practitioners, as we all have expertise in particu-lar areas. We’ve assisted many people who have been told nothing can be done for them.
“Health and healing is not a one size fi ts all approach,”
If you suffer sore feet and legs, knee or hip pain, arthritis, growing pains, bunions or work, sport or recreational injuries, contact Mt Eliza Foot + Leg Pain Clinics on 1300 328 300.

My Curves Complete storyMy Curves Complete story
IF you’ve ever gone to the supermarket and tried to buy a kilo of happiness or a litre of love, you will have noticed they are always out of stock.
These states of being can’t be bought; they come from within.
“Everyone wants happiness in this life, it’s just that we don’t have the right strategy for it,” Swami Shankarananda, director of the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga, said.
“Meditation is a direct way of accessing the inner self. This is the place of satisfaction, peace, joy and security that lies within, the place where you are at your best.”
Shiva School’s next learn to meditate course begins in Mt Eliza on Thursday 2 May at
7.30pm and runs for four consecutive Thursday evenings. The introductory course will provide all the tools people need to begin meditating effectively and includes a copy of the bestselling book and CD, Happy For No Good Reason.
The cost is $195 or $160 concession.The Shiva School (pictured) also specialises in
hatha yoga with classes focusing on relaxation as well as physical postures. The school offers beginner, intermediate, pregnancy, mother-baby and kids’ yoga.
For more information about learn to meditate course or hatha yoga classes, call the Shiva School of Meditation and Yoga on (03) 9775 2568 or visit the website at www.shivayoga.org
By Judy Mawson, Owner Curves MorningtonI HAVE been the proud owner of Curves Mornington for more than three years and love helping our members reach their health and fi tness goals. I am so very happy that we can now help our members reach their weight loss goals as well.
I love Curves Complete and have seen fabulous results not only from Curves Mornington Members and Curves Mem-bers from all over Australia but I have personally benefi ted from the Curves Complete program.
During the fi rst two years of owning Curves I fi rmed up and dropped a dress size which was great but I didn’t lose any weight. I felt better than I had in a long time, my back no longer ached, my ankles stopped seizing up every time it rained and I was fi t and healthy. I thought I was eating healthy and pretty much was BUT when I started on the Curves Complete Program I was amazed with my results and I only needed to tweak my current diet.
In my fi rst six weeks I lost 5kg which was amazing as it was at the six-week mark that I was diagnosed with thyroid problems and advised to stop dieting until my medication was sorted out. My thyroid had stopped functioning which normally results in weight
gain. I can only thank Curves Complete for the weight loss and even though at the time I was exhausted I do believe the healthy eating plan of Curves Complete gave me the energy I needed to get through the day.
Curves Complete is my way of life. Since starting on Curves Complete I have lost more than 6kg, I have dropped 16cm and 2.4 per cent body fat.
I now maintain my weight by following the Curves Complete principals of eating healthy and dieting only one or two days a month.
I maintain my muscle by doing the Curves circuit three times a week, I wear my pedometer to ensure I cover more than 10,000 steps a day and I lead four Curves Circuit with Zumba classes a week.
My members often ask me where I get my energy from, my answer is very simple.
It’s Curves Complete.If you would like to fi nd
how you too can benefi t from Curves Complete please call Curves Mornington on 5975 5526 to book in for your free no obligation consultation today.

Sudoku and crossword solutions
By Stuart McCulloughTHIS is Kim Jong-Unbelievable. No sooner had I fi nally committed to re-watching all seven series of The West Wing and North Korea goes and announces the imminent end of the world as we know it. Talk about thoughtless! Sadly, it appears that the doomsday clock has not been adjusted to take into account the end of daylight savings and it is now less than fi ve minutes to midnight.
North Korea is hell bent of forging a new era with the outside world best summarized as ‘Deacon 1’. These threats are not, it seems, retaliation against South Korea for the crime against humanity that was ‘Gagman Style’ but, rather, a clumsy attempt to show that when it comes to being an unpredictable megalomaniacal tyrant, Kim Jong-un is his own man, despite looking, sounding and dressing exactly like his father.
Let’s be honest: taking over from your Dad brings its own unique brand of pressure. It’s the downside to nepotism that is all too rarely talked about. Being part of a famous dynasty is not all wine, roses and ballistic missile tests. Far from it. Whether it be the head of a large multinational corporation or leadership of a reclusive military dictatorship, it’s tough to be your own person when all anyone talks about is your old man. It’s especially diffi cult when the image of your predecessor is everywhere you look. Poor old Kim Jong-un can hardly turn around without seeing a 50-foot tall picture of his Dad hanging from the nearest building. Not just
any snapshot, either. It will be of his father smiling, looking off into the middle distance, surrounded in an otherworldly glow that makes it appear as if the sun really did shine out of his backside.
Kim Jong-il was, by regular standards, a horrible human being, responsible for leading one of the world’s most repressive regimes in
which almost every aspect of daily life was controlled by the government. But the recent actions of his son make it hard not to look back at those simpler times with a sense of nostalgia. Sure, Kim Jong-il was a loud-mouthed murderous lunatic, but he seemed to understand that there was a line between pantomime and reality. Whether his son is aware that any such
distinction exists remains a mystery. In fact, very little is known about
Kim Jong-un. He is, apparently, about 30 years old (although nobody’s completely sure) and was probably schooled in Switzerland. A poor academic performer, he apparently spent his time developing a sizable man-crush on US basketball player Michael Jordan, sketching images of him in his notebook, and playing videogames. He’s also a fan of Eric Clapton.
He has older siblings but Kim Jong-un has been described as the one most like his father. This similarity extends to a fondness for drinking and a fashion sense best described as ‘the human wheelie bin’. As to how he was picked as successor, one of his brothers was regarded as insuffi ciently masculine while another, Kim Jong-nam, was disqualifi ed after he was caught attempting to visit Tokyo Disneyland. There is, it seems, only room for one magic kingdom in North Korea.
But if there’s a downside to having power given to you on a platter it’s this: credibility. Before being handed the reins, Kim was fi rst made a ‘daejang’. Sadly, this does not involve playing your favourite records – Eric Clapton or otherwise – and is the equivalent to being appointed a general. That he hadn’t served in the military was not considered an impediment. There are two ways to view this – fi rstly, that this is a shameless act of favouritism by a ruthless maniac intended to perpetuate one family’s iron-like grip on power. But there are, of course, two sides to
every story, or at least there would be two sides to every story if the media not was steadfastly controlled by the state. It’s a story which, in reality television terms, can be described as refusing to allow things like a lack of experience or talent come between you and your dream. If nothing else, Kim Jong-un goes to show that being dangerously under-qualifi ed should not stand in the way of getting the job you’ve always wanted.
That job, ‘Supreme Leader of North Korea’, was the one his father held before him. This could well be part of the problem. If Kim Jong-un wants to been seen differently to his Dad, perhaps he should take a different title. Instead of ‘Supreme Leader of North Korea’, how about ‘Super Supreme Leader with Extra Anchovies?’ Or plain old ‘Chief Executive Offi cer’? Or, as a tribute to his own heroes, perhaps ‘Slowhand Air Kim’? Or, better yet, maybe he should do things differently.
I was born into the Cold War, where the prospect of mutually assured nuclear destruction was a subject we studied right after phys ed, so I’m used to talk of a looming apocalypse. But enough is enough. My message is simple: Kim Jong-un – stop acting like a colossal turkey, albeit a turkey with access to uranium. If not, next time I run into you at Coles, I fully intended to express my displeasure in the clear-est way imaginable, through either a well-timed Fitzroy uppercut, a nipple cripple or, possibly, both. Kim Jong-un, you have been warned.

FRANKSTON Dolphins are heading in the right direction. The team hasn’t played fi nals since 2008 and has been a league cellar-dweller since then but won its fi rst game of the season in style on the weekend with victory over 2012 runners-up Port Melbourne.
Frankston came into the round 2 game at Frankston Oval on Sunday after a 68-point loss to Casey Scorpions, while Port Melbourne had defeated Box Hill by four points.
In the opening quarter Port Melbourne took control from the start kicking two goals in the fi rst six minutes. The Borough’s pressure was fantastic and tackles were sticking,
which affected Frankston’s disposal. By the 11-minute mark it was clear Port’s Joshua Scipione was set for a big day when he banged through his second goal. Five minutes later, Frankston kicked its fi rst goal with a snap from Chris Irving. But Port kept up the pressure and Joshua Scipione kicked his third, to give his team a 20-point lead just before quarter time.
Scipione and ball-magnet Ryan Gale were Port’s best. For Frankston Leigh Kitchin was its best across half-back.
The second quarter was a completely different story. Whatever Frankston coach Simon Goosey told his boys worked because they were on fi re. The Dolphins kicked three goals in six minutes (two of those to Sam Lloyd) turning the game into a closer contest. When Josh Dyson kicked the team’s fourth of the quarter the Dolphins hit the front for the fi rst time. Port
Melbourne’s defence was under siege, turning the ball over constantly. A deliberately rushed behind and two undisciplined 50-metre penalties resulted in the Dolphins having a 22-point lead at half time.
That quarter belonged to lead-up forward Ziggie Alwan, who was energetic and kept the Port Melbourne defenders on their toes at all times.
In the second half Frankston continued to put its foot down kicking the fi rst three goals and extending its lead to 40 points. But at the 11-minute mark, the momentum changed when Joshua Scipione kicked his fourth goal of the match and a minute or so later Chris Cain snapped a diffi cult goal from the boundary.
For the remainder of the quarter the ball was well and truly in Port Melbourne’s court but some errant goal kicking would go on to cost the
side later. To Frankston’s credit it managed to hang onto a 31-point lead, despite Port’s dominance.
In the last quarter Port Melbourne’s Julian Rowe kicked a goal in the opening minutes but Frankston quickly responded with a goal from Luke Potts. For the next 10 minutes Port Melbourne continued to attack and Frankston began to look tired but to Port’s detriment they kept missing, with only one kick from Josh Muling going through the goals.
At the 20-minute mark it looked like Frankston might hang on but Port’s Dean Galea kicked two clutch goals to bring the margin back to seven points. In the next fi ve minutes both sides kicked a behind each and with a bit more than a minute to go Dean Galea missed a very gettable goal. With a draw still in their reach Port continued to attack but a contested mark from
Frankston’s Michael Lourey saved the game.
Overall Port Melbourne had every chance to win but Frankston hung tough, led by a sensational performance at full-back from Riley Heddles.
Score: Frankston 14.14-98 d Port Melbourne 12.20-92
Best: Frankston: Heddles, Alwan, Lloyd,
Lourey, Hockey, Potts, C Irving, Kitchin.
Port Melbourne: Wooffi din, Scipione, Langford, Gale, Bustin, Rounds.

PENINSULA LEAGUEBy Toe PuntAT THE 20-minute mark of the third quarter on Saturday in the Peninsula League match between Mornington and Frankston YCW, the Doggies were in total control.
The Dogs led at both quarter time and half time and looked to be odds-on to go in at the fi nal change with a two-goal buffer.
But in the next 20 minutes of football, the reigning premiers booted nine unanswered goals to sink the Doggies.
The Stonecats booted the fi nal two goals of the third quarter to lead by a kick at the change and then booted the fi rst seven of the last term.
The fi nal margin was 49 points, which was so far from a true refl ection of the match.
Let’s keep in mind though that YCW did exactly the same thing to Bonbeach the previous week.
Many say Bonbeach should have led at three quarter time in that game, only to be beaten by 52 points after the Stonecats kicked seven goals to one in the fi nal term.
Take your foot off the pedal for any length of time against the Stonecats and they’ll make you pay.
The Doggies gasped for air late in the third quarter, were looking for the three quarter time siren and were punished.
The home team responded in the fi nal 10 minutes of the match, able to go toe-to-toe with the Stonecats but the damage was well and truly done.
Ashley Eames took the game by the scruff of the neck, Anthony Barry really stepped up to the plate when needed and delivered and Ryley Hodson (four goals) and Jai Coghlan continued to press.
Brad Ulms went from forward to defence to shut down 19-year-old Jackson Calder.
In the fi rst three quarters, Mornington was exceptional.
James Cameron, Anthony Simpson, Jack Dickson and Adrian Speedy were fantastic with their pressure in the forward half of the ground, while coach Stuart Seagar, Warwick Miller, Emilio Bitters and Anthony Franchina were getting the job done through the middle of the ground.
In defence, the Dogs were working hard with Kallum Searle, Josh McLerie and Jai Haddock to the fore and the midfi elders in Barry Smeeton working back to support.
But the intensity that got the Doggies to the 20-minute mark of the premiership quarter deserted them for a period. It was enough time for the Stonecats to pounce.
YCW’s runners in Tony Lester, Ben Tellis, Kyle Hutchison and Kevin Lylak all worked hard consistently and Jack Mazurek was up and about.
While he was very unhappy with the 20 minutes where his side was blown away, Stuart Seager said there were a lot of positives to come out of the game for his side.
“Our performance was like Bonbeach all over again,” Seager said.
“We played good footy for three quarters but three quarters of good footy doesn’t win you matches. That’s where we have to get better against the good sides.
“We ran out of legs late in the third quarter and I think we were looking at the siren to give us a break. Sides like YCW don’t look for breaks, they just keep the foot down,” he said.
“I was really pleased that we were able to regroup and go head-to-head with them in the fi nal 10 minutes of
the game. We could have let their roll continue but we didn’t.
“I was also really pleased after the match when the playing group identifi ed areas where we need to improve and what let us down. It was a mature stance from a young group.
“We lost the match but there were so many positives to come out of it,” Seager said.
The pressure on the Dogs was backed-up by the strong Mornington crowd at the match. For the fi rst time in a long while, it seems Mornington locals are backing their club again.
Warwick Miller was a standout for the Dogs again. He leaves for overseas at the midway mark of the season but the Doggies get back Chris Paxino from overseas, as well as Daniel Villani, who is on his way back from a groin operation.
There is plenty of upside to the group at the kennel.
Langwarrin was brought back to earth with a thud, humiliated by Karingal to the tune of 82 points.
The Kangas, who lost coach Paul Wheatley with a hamstring fi ve minutes into the game, was also without the likes of Shane Urbans, Dylan Luxa and Scott Sienkiewicz, who were prime movers in the win against Seaford the week before.
The Bulls also went in again without Chris Hay, who is still fi ve weeks away.
There was also plenty of talk sweeping the ground on Saturday that star Bevan Malloy would come out of retirement within the next month.
His side did the job without him on Saturday, booting 18.13.121 to 5.9.39. Sam McGarry and Michael Burke dominated while Grant Goodall controlled the ruck and Dale Alainis snagged four majors.
Not surprisingly, Dan Wehner was Langwarrin’s best, while Beau Muston shone.
Langwarrin buckled under the pressure of Karingal, their skill level at times embarrassing.
Bonbeach completed the expected and rolled Pines, booting six goals to two in the last quarter to win by 34 points.
Cory McQueen came into the side and had an immediate impact with four majors, while Justin Bennett was sensational again, like last week, with four goals.
Matthew Batten is rarely out of the best players list and Dylan Jones was hard to stop in the air. The Sharks also get back Shane McDonald from suspension in a few weeks.
Dale Tedge (four goals) and Jamie
Messina led the way for the Pythons, while newcomer Brendan Cowell impressed again.
Edithvale-Aspendale proved that last week’s win against Chelsea was no fl uke, hammering Mt Eliza by 43 points, 20.16.136 to 14.9.93.
Matt Kremmer impressed in attack in round one and did the job again at half forward on Saturday booting six goals, while Jeremy Heys added three to his four last week.
Brett Bowden and Timmy Mannix also caused major headaches for the opposition with three goals each and Nick Connellan was more than solid in the last line of defence.
Josh Norman and James Anwyl were the best of the Redlegs while Benny Lean snagged fi ve majors.
Seaford and Chelsea played out a close game as expected, the Tigers getting home by 15 points.
Brayden Irving fi nished with three goals and Aaron’s Turner and Walton dominated in the middle for the winners.
Niz Abdallah and Ryan Stewart were among the best for the Seagulls, while Robbie Lancaster was the only multiple-goal kicker with three majors.

NEPEAN LEAGUEBy Toe PuntPEARCEDALE made it two wins from two matches on Saturday when it controlled the match all afternoon against Crib Point in Nepean League football.
With Pat Heijden and Chris Fortnam dominating in attack with six and four goals respectively, the Panthers proved too strong all over the ground for the Magpies.
Tasmanian recruits Chris Hensby and Rohan Swan also got the feel for local footy and their presence on the ground was noticeable.
Teenager Adam Avard was also very good on a wing in only his second senior game, while debutant Ben Brown was also not out of place on a senior arena.
The Panthers led by 26 points at half time but rather than dying out in the second half, the home side was able to put the pedal on the gas and extend its lead.
The margin was 32 points at three quarter time and the fi nal margin 65 points.
It was yet another horror performance by Crib Point, beaten by more than 100 points in round one and by almost 11 goals on Saturday.
The Pies may have been pushing for fi nals last season but it couldn’t be further away from reality at the moment.
Understandably, Pearcedale coach Ben Cadd was delighted with his team’s performance.
“It has been a great start to the year for us and most pleasing on Saturday was that we were able to kick away and enjoy a really strong win,” Cadd said.
“We’re still coming together as a side because there are a few new faces but I believe we’re getting there quickly.
“Our aim this season was to tighten up defensively, which we have been able to do in our fi rst two games. We had more points kicked against us than any other team last season and we wanted to rectify that.”
Cadd said recruits to the club had assisted with the team’s structures.
“With ‘Macca’ Vagg back, it allows Heijden to play deeper forward. ‘Forts’ is only spending about 15 per cent of game time in the middle because we have my little brother Pat and Hensby who can go in there,” Cadd said.
“In defence, Swan is really helping out Travis Sauer, who doesn’t have to play on the opposition monsters any more.
“A couple of kids, like Avard, make good decisions and they add another dimension to the team.
“So far, things have been going well for us but it’s a long season and there’s not a lot between the teams,” Cadd said.
Frankston Bombers had another
very strong performance, smashing Tyabb by more than 100 points.
The Bombers were poor in the second quarter but managed to boot 16 goals to three in the second half to win 26.17.173 to 9.8.62.
Scott Foster booted fi ve goals and Zac Longham four, again proving that the Bombers do not lack a focal point in attack.
Damien Atkins (wedding) and Allan Williams (knee) missed the game, while Sam Drake resumed his footy in the reserves.
Jason Bedford was again one of the best players on the ground with four goals while former Somerville utility Marcus Bate made a real impression in his fi rst game in new colours.
Coach Duncan Proud said he was happy with seven of the eight quarters his team has played this season.
“From where I sit, I think we were expected to win our fi rst two games against Red Hill and Tyabb. The real test comes this Saturday (RPP Match of the Day) against Rosebud,” Proud said.
“We’re getting a good even spread amongst the 22, which is what I’m after each week.
“We really want to make a name for ourselves as a strong side defensively who can counter attack and make you pay on the scoreboard.
“For the past two weeks we have had 10 goal kickers while restricting the opposition to fewer than 10 goals.
“I’m enjoying my role across half back and Jeremy Waixel is just sensational in the last line of defence. He rarely loses a one on one contest. With Al Williams and Shaun Brand, who’ll be back soon, we are developing a strong defensive unit,” Proud said.
Jay Reynolds booted three goals, as did Ryan Lonie for the Bombers, while Brian O’Carroll was outstanding.
Nick Waterstone and Craig Conlan were among the best for the Bombers, while Ethan Rahilly was also his typical competitive self.
Somerville bounced back in the battle of the youngsters, getting the job done at Red Hill by 15 points.
In a see-sawing game all afternoon, the Eagles led at quarter and half time, before the Hillmen booted six goals in the third quarter to grab the lead by seven points.
But led by Justin Farrelly in the ruck and Rhys Palmer, the visitors were able to kick fi ve goals to two in the last to win 17.19.121 to 16.10.106.
Todd Farrelly, Rohan Hogenbirk and Josh Collie all booted three goals for the winners.
For Red Hill, Marcus Dal Lago, Jake Mitchell and Jayden Pain led the way.
Rosebud hung on to win a very defensive clash against Devon Meadows.
In a tight battle all afternoon, the Buds booted four goals to Devon’s two in the second half to win 10.14.74
to 7.6.48. Matty Payne kicked three goals in a best on ground performance for the Buds, while Glen Boyington was the other surprise packet with three goals.
Lachy Armstrong worked hard across half forward and Greg Bentley was a driving force from defence.
Alex Doria and Noble Park recruit Heath Black, who is a great focal point across half forward, were the best of Devon’s players, while Ash Adams was the only multiple goal-kicker.
It was a good test for Devon Meadows and although not coming away with the four points, it can still be proud of its performance.
Rye completed the unexpected and came away from Western Port with the four points against Hastings.
Jack Kerr grabbed four goals and Aaron Fiddes three for the winners while Adam Kirkwood and Sean Cain were exceptional through the middle of the ground. Matty Siberas has also been an outstanding pick-up for the Demons.
Tony Mirabella played a lone hand in attack once again with another fi ve-goal haul for the Blues, while Andy Kiely was their best player yet again. Taylor Stratton is a star and showed just why he is so again on Saturday.
It’s a terrible start for the Blues, who do not seem to have improved on last year.
Panthers make it two wins from twoPanthers make it two wins from two
ON THE LINEBy Paul “Tracker” PingiaroTHE talk of late has been about the good squid fi shing.
It doesn’t matter where you fi sh – shore, pier or boat anglers are getting inkers in good numbers from Portsea to Black Rock in Port Phillip and at Quail and Tyabb banks in Western Port.
While the size of squid hasn’t been huge they have made up for size with sheer numbers.
Best results are on size 1.8-2.5 jigs.This is great news as earlier in the
fi shing season squid in the Safety Beach to Frankston region were hard to come by.
Along with squid we are seeing some great catches of whiting, and an-glers are also bagging them from the shore and piers as well as boats.
Quail and Tyabb banks and Middle Spit in Western Port and from Rye to Mt Eliza in Port Phillip are the hotspots. Best bait by far has been the humble Aussie pippie.
Australian salmon have been caught in large numbers, a great fi ghting fi sh and a good feed when eaten fresh.
The best method for bagging a few “bay trout” has been trawling a 4cm piece of plastic tubing or drink straw slipped over a size 3/0 bait holder or long shank hook.
Snapper are also sticking about a bit with some good fi sh coming from Joes Island and Eagle Rock in Western Port and in 16 metres of water off Morn-ington.
A client of Mornington Boat Hire had an unusual catch recently – a jackass morwong. It was not a big fi sh (about 20cm) but is rarely seen in Port Phillip as it is thought to be found in Tasmania.
There have been some nice gummy sharks caught in Western Port recently. The best time has been the change of tide and the best bait has been USA squid.
For anglers looking further afi eld, west of Portland is in the midst of tuna fever with “barrels” to 131kg being caught along with good numbers of albacore.
Anglers on charter boats are hooking their bag limit in quick time. Paul “Tracker” Pingiaro has been fi shing since he could hold a rod and stay in the boat. He has boat hire businesses in Mornington and Yaringa Boat Harbour in Somerville. He has been a fi shing writer for magazines.
