THE GLENLYON
By Wendy McKillop
Charlotte Brunt wanted to do
something “just as a community
project”. Inspired by the RSL
commemoration of the centenary of
Australia’s entry into the First World
War, she activated a group of local
“girls” to get involved to knit, crochet
or sew scarlet poppies. Carmel
Bolton, Iris Stockfeld, Anne Dobbs,
Yvette Reading and Jenny Jordan
joined in to make the poppies. A
further large bag of poppies was left
anonymously on Charlotte’s doorstep.
Joy Durston whipped up a Lest We
Forget sign and Margret Lockwood
ingeniously fashioned the base for a
large wreath. Charlotte has put the lot
together and the result can be seen on display at the General Store.
The red Flanders poppies that sprang up on the French battlefield have become a symbol of the
soldiers who fell in battle during WW1 but also have special significance in Australia to
remember the many soldiers who died at Gallipoli after the landing on 25 April 1915. This was
the first time this country sent a force to fight in a foreign conflict under our own flag. Some of the
buttons used as centres to the poppies on the wreath are from military uniforms of the era.
Charlotte is also putting together a tribute to the animals that were casualties of WW1. Horses,
donkeys, dogs and pigeons all took part and paid the price. Purple poppies have now become a
special symbol to represent these often forgotten victims. The tribute will be placed in Mind Your
Pet in Daylesford.

Four of our local volunteers did not return from the battlefields.
They were A.W. Donohue who was killed at Ypres in 1917
and his cousin John R. Rosendale who was killed at Pozieres.
He was one of three Rosendale brothers who served. Two
Dixon brothers also died, William in 1915 and Samuel at
Pozieres. Their names are recorded on the Dixon family grave
in the Glenlyon cemetery.

Ramblings from the
Bramble Patch
friends Jan and Brian
O urweregood
visiting while their caravan
was being repaired.
On a fine sunny Saturday we decided
to have a BBQ. Unfortunately, we did
not allow for the uninvited guests.
More European wasps arrived than
teenagers at a
birthday party
organised on social media.
While the men battled with the meat
on the BBQ, Jan, the master of
innovation, set about constructing
wasp traps. They were instantly
successful; even more wasps came
from everywhere. This did not deter
Jan; always ready to improvise, she
started swatting as many as possible.
Harold and Brian, with assistance
from some liquid refreshment, joined
in while I transferred the food to the
kitchen.
It quickly turned into a competition to
see if they could kill more wasps than
were caught in the trap. By the time
we had consumed a little more
refreshment with lunch, the afternoon
degenerated into an all out war as to
who could claim the most wasps. I
was shocked to discover I possessed
quite a killer instinct and found myself
pursuing my quarry with an
enthusiasm that exceeded my agility
with often undignified and embarrassing results.
At the end of the day Brian had the
highest score, until we found that he
had secretly been raiding the trap to
boost his tally, and him a former
policeman, too!
A few days later, after Jan and Brian
had left, we noticed an absolutely
putrid smell, and fearing the find of a
dead animal, eventually tracked it
down to the bait used in the wasp
trap. In true form, Jan had managed
to leave a lingering reminder of her
visit.

hose travelling to Daylesford may ask the question “What is going

Work on drainage has been completed and apparently a guard rail
is to be installed around the bend to prevent more vehicles from running off
the road, and the stopping line
on Back Glenlyon Road is to
be moved further into the
intersection.
It is doubtful whether these
measures will address the two
main concerns with the corner:
the slope of the road running
off around the bend and
inability to see cars approaching from the left when entering

Council Deliberations
By Cr. Bill McClenaghan
his month, several very important matters are coming before Council and it would be a good idea to have a
look at the April Meeting Agenda, available on Council’s website. Top of the list is the Annual Budget for
2015 / 2016.
The Proposed Budget 2015 / 2016
The Shire Budget for 2015 / 2016 is a good one and meets the Victorian Auditor General’s financial sustainability
indicators. Some basic features are;

Income of $31,699 million (up 5.8% from just under $30 million this financial year. This includes double the
usual funding for “Roads to Recovery”.

Another low 4% rate rise, same as last year. Rates capping by 2016 / 2017 may force the rate rise lower then
and may impact upon services provided or other changes in how Council operates. All Rates Differentials
(like 65% Farm Rate Differential) remain unchanged.

Budgeted expenses of $28.1 million (up 0.4% on this year) with a surplus of $3.6 million (up $1.6 million in
this year). The cost of borrowings is decreasing now after some debt reduction.

This time, several carry forward expense items are included from the current budget such as $1.135 million in
capital projects not yet delivered. This has elevated the amount of cash and investments currently held so
these will then decrease in 2015 / 2016 when the money is spent and carry forward projects completed.

Capital works, including the $1.135 million carry forward works, will amount to $12.065 million. This will
include the Victoria Park Daylesford redevelopment, largely funded by the State Government.
T
As usual, once Council adopts the Proposed Budget on Tuesday (21 April), it will go out for public exhibition for 28
days. There will be public consultation and meetings held around the Shire including one at Glenlyon. Dates for
these meetings have yet to be advertised. All submissions on the Proposed Budget will be due by 21 May and
Council will adopt “The Budget” in its final form on 16 June.
The Proposed Budget allocates $90,000 to Glenlyon streetscape construction that was identified in the consultation
process late last year. $40,000 of this comes from grants and $50,000 will be from the rates base (Council funded).
Streetscape works will also include better car parking arrangements in Ford Street opposite the Glenlyon General
Store.
The Proposed Budget allocates money to be put aside for the Hepburn Hub and Trentham Hub projects, although
delivery of these projects has yet to be actually approved and grant funding obtained. This allocation will supplement subsequent allocations in the 2016 /2017 financial years so as to spread out the financial impact of these
major projects/significant expenses. Although a part of this Proposed Budget, it does not mean that the hub projects
are authorised to go ahead as proposed and no construction will occur in the 2015/ 2016 financial year.
Local Law Number 3
This is one of the results of Council creating and adopting a Domestic Wastewater Management Plan (DWMP) and
getting the major water authorities to accept it. Under the Government’s “Forty Hectare Rule”, new developments
that involved septic tanks or alternative waste management systems would be restricted to a density of only one
septic tank in a forty hectare area for the protection of streams and domestic water impoundments. This had the
effect of severely restricting development on small blocks that were not on a reticulated sewerage system as water
authorities had the power to refuse planning applications.
The DWMP now makes it more possible to develop on small blocks as it can be shown where all the septic tanks
are in any given area. The catch however is; do these existing septic systems work efficiently or are they causing
environmental damage because they are ineffective or poorly maintained? Local Law Number 3 seeks to ensure
that all domestic wastewater / septic systems (new and existing) are regularly inspected and maintained and are
operating effectively. If they don’t comply with requirements, penalties will apply. This item will be of interest to all
property owners who have some sort of on site wastewater management system.
All Local Laws must be advertised and submissions invited before being adopted and put into force. The process of
doing all of this begins at the April Council Meeting in Clunes on Tuesday 21 April, commencing at 6pm. This matter
will be considered after the Proposed Draft Budget. Details of the new Local Law are on Council’s website for early
perusal.
At these busy times, it is important for us all to be informed and vigilant on these high profile municipal
matters. Now is the time to make comment and submissions on any items of concern. Please contact me to
discuss any matter.
Caring for Wombat Forest
By Gayle Osborne
T
he Wombat Forest is a special place, 70,000 hectares of a
range of vegetation types and home to some amazing
creatures. We have Greater Gliders, Petauroides volans, the
largest gliding mammals in Australia. This beautiful glider looks like a
large furry cat with a very long tail and can glide 100 metres and only
eats eucalyptus leaves. We also have Powerful Owls, Ninox strenua,
a top order predator and the largest owl in Australia. There is a
leafless Bossiaea Bossiaea vombata, which is only found at a few
locations in the Wombat Forest. The only place on the planet this
plant is found is in the Wombat.
Wombat Forestcare was established for the protection of our forest.
The group had its beginnings in a campaign to end logging and wood
chipping in the Wombat Forest. There were anti-logging protest
groups in Trentham, Blackwood and Daylesford and, as logging
intensified in the Glenlyon block of the forest, a group was formed in
Glenlyon.
Eventually the campaign was successful and commercial logging
ceased in 2005. A few of us decided that we should continue as a
group and Wombat Forestcare (WFC) was incorporated in 2006 and
now has more than 180 members.
WFC has established research projects, runs nature walks and biodiversity lectures and publishes an educational
newsletter. There is a fungi guide for the forest.
One current project involves motion-sensing cameras that record images of fauna. We have had some great success
with this project, capturing images of a number of threatened species, including a Brush-tail Phascogale Phascogale
tapoatafa, Eastern Pygmy-possum Cercartetus nanus and Spotted Quail-thrush Cinclosoma punctatum.
We are proud of our achievements which include a
‘Certificate of Recognition’ for discovering four locations of
the leafless Bossiaea, establishing locations of many
threatened and rare flora and fauna and, more recently, the
second record for the Wombat Forest of a breeding pair of
Powerful Owls, with chick and nest hollow.
WFC advocates for the protection of the biodiversity and
waterways of the forest. We have not lost our campaigning
skills and opposed the establishment of a gold mine in the
headwaters of the Lerderderg River.
The protection of our forest is dependent on our community;
those who spend time in it and come to love it are the people
who will stand up for it. Time spent in the Wombat is very
rewarding; it is a wonderful place for bird watching and is a
‘hot spot’ for fungi, with some hundreds of amazing species.
We welcome participation and membership, so do get in
touch if you would like to get involved.
For our next ‘You, me & biodiversity’ lecture, moth specialist
Steve Williams will talk to our community on ‘Moths ̶
exploring lepidopteran/invertebrate areas and aspects.’
Australia has between 20,000 and 30,000 moth species;
many remain unidentified. Steve will explore the biology of
lifecycles, food-chains, interactions with other invertebrates
and the impacts and influences of fire.
The talk will be held at the Trentham Neighbourhood Centre,
1.30pm to 3.30pm on Saturday 16 May. Gold coin donation.

Brigade Activities
By Margret Lockwood
G
erald Coffey explained at the Glenlyon Fire Brigade general meeting on 7 April that the Catholic families of
Glenlyon who currently have custody of THE BELL will meet soon and then formally ask the Glenlyon Fire
Brigade to erect the bell at the fire station. Captain Dave Johnson said that there would be a written
statement that the Glenlyon Brigade will become the new custodian and that the bell is not being donated to the
CFA. The cost of an appropriate tower is being investigated. When the Catholic families develop a formal proposal
to put to the Glenlyon Fire Brigade, it will undoubtedly have the full support of the Brigade. Planning permission
from the Shire and the CFA is currently being sought.
Captain Dave has been deemed medically fit to return to work on the fire ground. Most recently Dave turned out to
a burn-off out of control at a property on Holcombe Road on Monday 13 April.
Fire restrictions have now been lifted. However, residents should register burn-offs on 1800 668 511 and take
sensible precautions to control fires.
The Brigade will share its ride-on mower with the Glenlyon Progress Association rather than accept an offer from
the GPA to pay $1,250 for part ownership. The Brigade will purchase a defibrillator and facilitate the purchase of
another for the Glenlyon Reserve.
Treasurer Anthony Schnellbeck is working on an application for a replacement for Tanker 2, the community-owned
tanker. Although we can afford our share of the cost, being allocated a new tanker to replace the community-owned
tanker is not an automatic process This will need Glenlyon Group support and will have to fit with the strategic
planning of the Glenlyon Group and District 15 before it is finally approved by CFA headquarters. So the process
may take a couple of years and several applications.
The honour board has been completed and paid for. It will be erected on the fire station wall soon.
19 May is the date set for the next elections. Position descriptions and a request for nominations will be circulated
prior to the meeting.
Finally, Michael Frost is getting married on Sunday 19 April. We wish Michael and Laura a long and happy future
together. And by the way, Michael’s little grandson was born in Germany in December and is doing well.
Landcare Notes
By Margret Lockwood
T
he Glenlyon Upper Loddon Landcare General Meeting was held on April 13.
Save these dates:
1 May: Smeaton Volunteer Recognition event runs from 4pm to 8.30pm and will include a tour of the
Birch’s Creek project of the Blampied Kooroocheang Landcare Group followed by a barbecue and environmental
short films. Contact the NCCMA for bookings.
9 May: Working Bee at the Biolink. We will be planting and doing some weeding. Barbecue follows.
16 May: ABORIGINAL CULTURAL LANDSCAPES NEAR GLENLYON. Gerry Gill from Latrobe University’s
Sociology and Anthropology department and a Traditional Owner organised by the Dja Dja Wurrung Aboriginal
Clans Corporation will present at the Hall between 10.30am and 12.30pm. This will be followed by a free lunch and
a field trip to investigate features in the local landscape, such as scar trees and grain-grinding grooves in the rocks
by the Loddon. This is a FREE event but bookings for the field trip are essential as we have limited seats on the
mini buses.
RSVP for lunch and to book for the field trip, contact Margret Lockwood, Secretary of Glenlyon Upper Loddon
Landcare on 53487758 or email ljdenver@bigpond.net.au
Equipment: Landcare has bought a new trailer to replace the current worn -out trailer for the spray unit. This
should provide many years of service. The old trailer was a second-hand donation and has lasted for 15 years.
Members can hire the spray unit for $15 a day.
A grant from The Daylesford and District Community Bank has allowed us to refurbish a recently donated secondhand builder’s trailer with new tyres, repainting and new logo. The trailer will be used to take our tools and
barbecue to working bees and provide lockable storage for this equipment. All being well, the refurbished trailer will
have its first outing for the 9 May working bee.
President John Cable is currently consulting various bodies regarding the proposed footbridge for the Biolink
extension path. The bridge location will take the flood pattern of the Loddon into consideration. Work on additional
culverts and gravel for the path extension, as well as signs, is also in train.

Glenlyon Weather Summary — March 2015
weather in March continued the low rainfall trend of
T he
February with only 20mm being recorded for the month.
However, the year-to-date total of 140mm is slightly above the longterm average of 128mm for the three-month period due to the good
rains received in January. Farmers to the north are beginning to
sow their crops ‘dry’ in the hope of an Autumn break on or about
Anzac Day.
