WAR MEMORIAL DEDICATED ON ANZAC DAY
The names of 170 men and nine women from Red Hill and Main Ridge who served in the Boer
War, World War 1, World War 11 and the Vietnam War are now permanently engraved on bronze
plaques mounted on four corten columns that stand in the newly created Red Hill Community Park.
A fifth column carries the words of dedication.
The nine women served in World War 11. The names of eleven servicemen in World War 1 and six
in World War 11 are marked with a cross indicating that they were killed in action.
This war memorial was constructed by the Red Hill Community Association as a central feature of
the new Community Park and was officially dedicated at a ceremony attended by over 200 people
on a rainy Anzac Day morning on Saturday, April 25, 2015 – see story page 3.

Contrary to a recently spread local rumour the Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm has not
been sold to the Chinese. Having celebrated 50 years on the property last year, 64 year
old Mick Gallace is still looking ahead as he seeks to perfect the product that has been
his life-long passion. Creating this iconic agri-tourism business, and making it one of
the five top tourist attractions in Victoria, has been a challenging journey for Mick and
Anne Gallace, a journey that still has some distance to travel.
MICK GALLACE: A GROWER STILL GROWING
In 1964 when Mick Gallace was 14
years old his Italian migrant father,
Pietro, bought a 30 acre farm on the
corner of Flinders Road and Shands
Road and started growing apples,
cherries and vegetables and selling
them on the roadside.
He also leased 16 acres opposite
owned by the Catholic Church - where
the current café and shop stand - and
ran cattle on the land.
A few years later when his parents took
an extended trip back to Italy young
Mick put the cattle in a small paddock,
worked up the land and planted
strawberries.
“When he returned my father was a bit
gobsmacked, but I think he admired his
teenage son’s initiative and it was not
too long before strawberries became
our predominant crop,” Mick said.
Fast forward to today. What might be
called the home block has expanded to
200 acres with the acquisition of
neighbour’s properties. This is still the
area that is allocated for the popular
pick-your-own business which started
around 1974 – 40 years ago.
A reliable supply of water is critical for
strawberry growing and during drought
years in the early 2000’s Mick took out
some insurance by buying 150 acres at
Boneo which is served by bore water
and more recently by recycled water
from Melbourne Water’s treatment
facility at Boneo.
“In fact my son Matthew had a fair bit to
do with that purchase. He was working
with Southern Rural Water at the time
and he could see water levels in the
aquifers dropping seriously. He called a
meeting of potential water users from
the area and with the Council’s support,
interested them in advocating for the
use of recycled sewage water. It took
five years of lobbying to develop and
achieve access to A class recycled
water suitable for use on gardens and
golf courses,” Mick explained.
Matt and Ruth are manufacturing and selling
Cheeky Rascal Cider
HILL
’N’
RIDGE
The way things are going Mick believes
a lot of strawberries will soon be grown
hydroponically in huge tunnels, thereby
producing higher yields on less land.
“But I am a traditional grower and we’ll
keep growing them in the soil too, partly
to satisfy the large pick-your-own
population that visits the farm each
season,” he said.
The Mick Gallace family – from left, Matt in front
holding Charli, Ruth at back holding Ella, Anne
and Mick, Nicole holding Jack.
So now with the 200 acre home block,
the 150 acre Boneo property, 300 acres
in the Yarra Valley and another 300
acres in Queensland, Sunny Ridge can
supply fresh strawberries all year
round. About 120 of these acres are
devoted to other berries yielding fresh
raspberries all year round and
blueberries for six months of the year.
Current strawberry output is around 15
million punnets a year - in two years it
could reach 20 million punnets. Coles
supermarket is one of their largest
customers.
There have been many challenges
along the journey – small ones, big
ones and bigger ones. For example,
recognition by authorities of the value
o f k e ep i n g g r o we r s op e r a t i n g
economically on expensive Mornington
Peninsula land has been a constant
battle.
“Just a simple thing like getting good
signage to help people find the place
has been unbelievably hard. But in
recent times I’ve seen a change in
attitude, particularly at the local Council
level with the new CEO, which
hopefully will bring measures into play
that will make it a little easier for small
holding agri-tourism businesses to
survive on the Peninsula,” he said.
Keeping abreast of changes in
horticulture has taken Mick to California
about 20 times since the early 1980’s,
almost annually, to study the latest
techniques in berry growing. “They are
the masters,” he said. He also makes
regular trips to Belgium, the UK and
Holland to look at the latest methods in
Europe. An added attraction in Belgium
is not only his daughter Nicole and two
young grandchildren, but also having
access to his son-in-law Phillip who is a
plant physiologist and nutritionist and
an expert on strawberries.
Mick Gallace (right) and his son Matt tread the
strawberry rows at Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm,
an enterprise that celebrated 50 years last year
Looking further into the future Mick
does not see his son Matt or daughter
Nicole taking over the strawberry
growing business.
“When Nicole was young she was my
shadow, she was the grower and
before each Red Hill market she would
prepare the strawberry plants for sale.
Matt was then, and still is, a marketer.
He’d sell the plants at the market and
they’d share the proceeds. Now Nicole
is well settled in Belgium and her
husband Phillip is happy there. Matt is
aligned with the farm but doing his own
thing with his wife Ruth manufacturing
and selling Cheeky Rascal Cider and
more recently has started Matilda’s
Frozen Fruit, which has taken off since
the recent Hepatitis A scare with
imported frozen berries. He likes value
adding so he takes the berries I grow
and processes them.”
Given this succession planning
situation with his children and
conscious of getting older Mick knows
that one day he might be tempted to
sell up, but given his enthusiasm it
seems it could be some years away
yet. Whatever happens he is unlikely to
shift far away from his beloved
Peninsula. “I love this area. This is
undoubtedly the best place to live in
Australia,” he proudly claimed. – RB.

DEDICATION CEREMONY FOR WAR
MEMORIAL IN NEW COMMUNITY PARK
The newly erected war memorial is
located in the middle of the recently
cleared land between the Red Hill
shopping centres, right next to the
foundations of the original Red Hill fire
station. It is the first stanza in the
development of the Red Hill Community
Park, a project that was conceived by,
and is being executed by Red Hill
Community Association in collaboration
with the Council.
Looking out at uniformed 1st Red Hill
S c o u t s a nd a r e sp e c tf u l an d
respectable crowd of locals and ex
locals, old and young, the President of
Red Hill Community Association, David
Maddocks, began the dedication
ceremony with a welcome to special
guests and went on to explain that the
early commemorations of Anzac Day
were at the Red Hill and District
Me m o r ial B a b y He al th C e n t re
established in 1952.
“The fine people of Red Hill decided at
that time to not have Memorial Gates
erected at the then Red Hill Show
Grounds but to have the Memorial
Baby Health Care Centre which later
became the Red Hill Memorial Infant
Welfare Centre and Pre School
Centre,” he said.
After thanking his committee for their
hard work David added that in time, the
columns would turn a beautiful rusted
colour, the concrete base will be paved
with bluestone and amphitheatre
seating featuring mosaics done by
children at Red Hill Consolidated will
form phase 2 of the war memorial
construction. “The memorial will stand
here for many decades, as a place to
gather, remember and reflect,” he said.
Speakers in the ceremony itself relied
on the familiar phrases and sentiments
that capture the essence of Anzac Day.
The Rev’d Fiona Goy, Vicar of St
George’s Anglican Church, Red Hill,
performed the dedication and led the
gathering in prayer and scripture
readings. Jenny McIlroy, who did so
much of the research to bring the war
memorial together, read a poem ‘The
25th of April’ by Roderick Quinn.
Garry Jones sang a contemporary song
‘Anzac Day’ and was accompanied by
the children’s recorder group from the
Red Hill Consolidated School. Felicity
Jackson, also a tireless worker on this
project, recited the poem ‘Not a Hero’
by Clyde Hamilton.
Local MP, Martin Dixon congratulated
the Association on its achievement and
drew on the famous speech by Kemal
Ataturk, the Turkish General, who
reassured Australia that their lost sons
would be properly cared for in their
graves at Gallipoli. Mr Dixon laid a
wreath on behalf of the State
Government, as did Cr Hugh Fraser for
HILL
’N’
RIDGE
the Council. Dennis McIlroy (the name
McIlroy is prominent on the plaques – 6
names in World War 1) laid a wreath on
behalf of the Red Hill Community
Association and a number of other
representatives also laid wreaths. Flt.
Lt. Donald Jackson R.A.F. V.R. read
the Ode of Remembrance “They shall
not grow old……” and this was followed
by the Last Post, a one minute silence
and Rouse impressively played on a
cornet, bugle style, by Anthony Pope.
Tom Gilligan, the most senior scout
from 1st Red Hill Scouts, raised the flag
to its masthead at the sounding of
Rouse and two verses of the National
Anthem were sung to complete the
ceremony.
But it was the faces in the crowd and
the connections they had with the
names listed on the plaques where the
real story lay – a story that cannot be
fully told here. Evelyn Andrew (nee
Holmes), now 102 years old was there
with her four daughters, Lexie,
Margaret, Cath and Leonie. Her late
husband Alexander is the second name
on the World War 11 plaque, having
served in the airforce. He died in 1998.
Ron Holmes, 90, fought in World War
11. He is a first cousin of Evelyn
Andrew and travelled from Adelaide for
the occasion. Roy Setter, 93, served in
World War 11 and his son Ernie served
in the Vietnam War. Roy was present
but this year Ernie went to Gallipoli for
Anzac Day. Howard and Colin Cleine
and their sister Debbie were there to
honour their father Philip, and their
grandfather Karl, who both served in
World War 11. And so it went on,
families from this community
respectfully honouring their forebears
on the 100th anniversary of Anzac Day.
Walking away from the event local
orchardist Don Edwards summed it up
pretty well: “This is one of the better
things that has happened in Red Hill in
recent times.” – RB.
Footnote: RHCA acknowledges that it is
possible that the plaques do not contain all
the names of those who were engaged in
war service from this district. Researchers
extended public invitations for names to be
registered and did their best to ensure
accuracy and completeness.
The Red Hill Community Association
received a grant of $6000 from the
Department of Veteran’s Affairs towards a
war memorial to recognise World War 1
servicemen. The Association decided that
it made sense to extend the memorial to
cover other wars. Consequently there is a
shortfall in funding of around $55,000.
Next week the Association will be sending
letters inviting community donations to
assist in covering the cost.

Red Hill Gardening Society —news and tips
It’s been a busy time at the Society
through summer and autumn. We visited
Coombe Farm at Coldstream on our
Annual Garden Tour on a 36 degree day
in late January. The guided garden tour
was sprinkled with snippets of Dame
Nelly’s life. We can also recommend a
walk around the Blue Water Lilly Garden
at Yarra Junction. The enormous lily
pads and vibrant colours of the lotus
flowers were impressive.
In March we took the opportunity to visit
the Melbourne International Flower and
Garden Show to catch a little more
inspiration for our gardens, before
hosting our usual stall at the Red Hill
Show to wave the flag for Horticulture.
Did you visit us?
Our May meeting is open to visitors so
come along and enjoy what is on offer at
the Community Hall, Mechanics Road, at
10am on Friday May 22: Autumn

The Gardening Society meetings may be
in recess for June and July but the Red
Hill Spring Garden Festival project team
is a-buzz with planning this year’s event.
Mark your diary for this day-of-days for
local gardeners: Saturday September
12th.
Visit our website as it ramps up over the
next few months with who-is-who as

start to be listed. This is our fourth year
so the standard of activity is now
predictably high. www.rhgs.com.au
Seasonal Gardening Tips:
Snails: drop them in a container of soapy
water instead of squishing them.
They are full of eggs at this time of
year so the immersion does the
trick. Throw them onto the compost
later.
Flowering bulbs are starting to peek out
of the ground. Be careful where you
walk and give a liquid feed of
dissolved sulphur of potash and
seaweed tonic.
Check brassicas for grubs and greebies
and pick them off. Keep them
producing by picking but dig from
the ground when finished, adding a
good dose of manure and compost
in preparation for spring crops.
With high winter winds, secure your peas
and broad beans with gentle ties to
a frame. Find the snails who love to
eat them before you.
Indulge your desire for more fruit bearing
trees as now is the time to select
and plant.
Prune your roses by one third when the
days become coldest, scratching out
the old mulch to place in your
compost, feeding and adding a new
soft cover.
Happy Gardening

WHAT’S NEW AT RED HILL
CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL?
In 2015 Red Hill Consolidated School
welcomed nine new staff members to
the teaching team and 102 lively preps!
The school has also introduced a
Japanese program from years prep to
six
which will open up exciting
opportunities for the students to
develop
a Japanese sister school
relationship and to eventually travel to
Japan as part of an exchange program
between schools.
Currently the children have enjoyed
learning greetings in Japanese and even
the bus drivers are having a go! The
children have also been researching the
Japanese culture and linking this
learning to their World Views Learning
Explorations.
At this year’s Art Red Hill exhibition all
children will be entering an origami crane
they have made into the exhibition.
These will be displayed in the coffee
shop and will definitely add the wow
factor to this space when visitors tour the
exhibit across the ARH weekend!

RED ARTISTS GALLERY —
ART WITH PASSION.
Local People Supporting Local Art.
The original idea for the Red Artists
Gallery was born out of my desire to
back myself and other artists in their
creative endeavors. I have taken a year
off teaching to concentrate on my own
artwork and the promotion of our
amazingly talented local artists. About
20 years ago I was involved in Rogues
Gallery in Red Hill, this was a great
space and we gathered together many
local artists, we had great arts dialogue,
we held events and really tried to
promote the arts. As I have been working
and talking to other artists, I have
realized that there is again a need for
this. A creative space for artists and art
interested people to meet, talk, display
their work and feel like they have a likeminded tribe to support them. This has
led to me to form a collective of mid
career and emerging Artists and opening
a shop for just this; supporting the arts.
We are called the Red Artists; our motto
is ‘Follow your passion to make Art’. We
all contribute to the rent of the space and
give a percentage of our sales into a
fund with the hope to generate enough
money to create arts scholarships for our
local schools. So by purchasing art from
us you are also supporting and nurturing
other creative souls. All our produce is
Mornington Peninsula made and makes
great authentic gifts.
Who knows? You may discover a valuable
treasure - or not - !
There will be 3 sessions:
10am -12noon, 12noon-2pm 2pm-4pm

minding and what they are working on.
We will also be running affordable

the Queen’s Birthday long weekend in
June every year.
W i n t e r
W i n e
F e s t
The opening event is the Winter Wine
Fest (Saturday 6 June, 11am - 4pm),
an exhibition and tasting which
traditionally marks the beginning of
the extensive Winter Wine Weekend
program. One place on one day all
under cover where you can taste more
than 150 premium wines from around
5 0 win er ies . Pu rcha se t ick et s
online www.mpva.com.au. Pre- booked
tickets will be $65 (book online) and on
the day will cost $70 - each ticket
includes a complimentary Riedel tasting
glass, all wine tastings, a tasting book
and two entree sized dishes (more food
vouchers also available for purchase).
Designated driver tickets are also
available for $55 ($60 on the day)
and include all of the above except no
wine tastings are included.
Wine and Food Sessions
Seminars on key varieties grown in the
region and hosted by key winemakers
include tutored tastings and discussion
on various themes which prove
extremely popular. Numbers for the
seminars are limited to 50 per
session. ($10 per sessions which need
to be pre booked): 12noon - Cool
Whites, 1.30pm - Pinot Noir, 3pm –
Shiraz.
There is also a showcase of 8 local
restaurants with inspiring entree sized
dishes to complement the wines and
offer those attending a chance to taste
Mornington Peninsula's regional
excellence. The quality of the food is
created to match the forty year
development of premium wines. Chefs
in the region are pushing boundaries
and have a wonderful camaraderie
which is not often seen outside their
kitchens.
Winter Wine Weekend activities
Mornington Peninsula Vignerons also
welcome visitors to warm Cellar Doors
to taste new release wines, visit old
favourites and to experience the
seasonal offerings of the region. There
is more to pruning in June, although
many vignerons relish the rejuvenation
of the vine following the busy harvest
season. The majesty of the vineyards is
perhaps no more apparent than when
stripped bare. Each year, the Queen’s
Birthday Weekend offers an opportunity
to immerse yourself in wine, wander
with the winemakers, visit the vineyards
and taste new vintages. Three days of
wine, food and song, pinot noir,
chardonnay, pinot gris, shiraz, and a
range of other less well known wines
for the region, are matched with fine
Australian cuisine, pizzas, emu snags &
regional fare. Whether at a vintage
review, a wine and food matching
program, blending your own sparkling
dosage, or simply chatting with the
maker, the wines of the region will be
on show in grand style.

MOVING THE MAIN CREEK METHODIST CHURCH
REQUIRED A POLICE MOTOR CYCLE ESCORT
History Corner
The Uniting Church at Main Ridge may
be no longer in place, but its buildings
are still in use in the area.
There is no plaque to mark the location
the Main Creek Methodist Church on the
corner of Shands Rd and Main Creek
Rd. The two pines framing the buildings
(pictured above) remain today with a
new dwelling built at the rear.

twin cousins, receiving prizes for
attendance. We sat in rows on packing
cases,” remembers Eleanor.
”I loved helping to set up the Harvest
Festival which was a
wonderful spectacle. It
featured
trays
of
prizewinning apples, hay
bales and whole plants of
corn with ears still attached
The produce was taken to
Dromana hospital.”
Jean Rotherham recalls that
her sisters tethered their
ponies outside the Hall and continued on
to Pony Club after Sunday School.
The Rev Boquest was well loved. He
sang magnificently, organists included
Marge White and Bess Wilson. The
Services were held at 3.00 pm preceded
by Sunday School at 2.00 pm. This
enabled the Peninsula ministers to
preach - otherwise lay preachers would
have been needed.
LEGACY
St George’s Anglican Church has
incorporated the Main Ridge Methodist
church in their re-designed complex
opened in 2014.
In 1977 the final service of the Main
Ridge Methodist Church started at Main
Ridge and concluded in the Red Hill
Uniting church. The Sunday school hall
was moved to the Mechanics Road site
in 1978
- a welcome sight to former
members.

from this site in June 2015 using Red

HISTORY OF THE MAIN CREEK
METHODISTS
The Main Creek Methodist church was
opened in 1914 to cater for the needs of
the growing Main Creek area. Methodists
had gathered firstly in the home of
Alexander (dec 1907) and Charlotte
Shand. Religious services were
conducted in their home for 40 years.
The Trustees were elected and decided
to build a permanent church.
MAIN CREEK TRUSTEES MINUTE
BOOK
The Trustees book was found in the
Uniting Church archives and has been a
source of interest to many, including
historian, Keith Holmes.
Taken from the Trustees minute book:
Meeting of the Main Creek Trustees on
July 1st 1909
Present Rev W Williams Rev C D Lucas
Bros W Shand and N Ruddock.
The meeting was convened for the
purpose of electing two trustees - John
McIlroy and William G C Roberts , both
orchardists to replace George Chapman
and Alexander Shand both deceased.
Nomination was unanimously sustained
The Minutes have been kept up to date
as far as is known. Eric Nye Chairman
The Trustees Minutes record the
problems of choosing a location,
purchase of land for £5 owned by Billy
Roberts, the design plans and
fundraising for the new church. The
Main Creek Methodist Church was
opened
on July 13th 1913. Other
donations
included an organ, pews
fencing and lamps
(no electricity)
Meetings were held when required .
There was no record of minutes for
1924-30.
A brass plaque honoured Alexander and
Charlotte Shand ,and the World
War 1 death of Robert McIlroy was
remembered in a marble plaque.
In 1921, orchardists and brothers,
A R and Frank Ditterich inspired
working bees to develop land for a
cricket ground and Main Creek Cricket
Club was born. Due to a conflict with
another Main Creek in
Victoria
a
decision was made to rename the area.
Hence in 1925, the church and the
cricket clubs adopted MAIN RIDGE as
their name.

Great result from the Biggest Morning Tea
Thursday April 16 was early for the
Biggest Morning Tea event, but we
wanted to take advantage of the
autumn weather, and although forecast
was not promising, the sun did shine
and we were not disappointed.
Locals enjoyed a cuppa, delicious food
and lots of chatter at the event which
was sponsored by Red Hill District
Lions in conjunction with Food on the
Hill in Red Hill.
Morning Tea was provided by local
eateries and tea and coffee was
donated by Carol from Food on the Hill.
“Our local community has been very
generous in their support of this event ,
with all food, drinks and wine for the
prize draw donated,” said Susanne
White, organising committee member.
A wine draw was held during the
morning, with every ticket winning a
prize, and there were some very happy
faces when they received their bottle of
wine. All monies from the draw
contributed to the final amount raised
for the Cancer Council. More than
$1500 was raised—more than double
the previous events!
Planning will commence shortly for next
years event. If you would like to be
involved please contact Lions.

Busy Market at Easter
Red Hill Lions and Flinders Lions ably
supported by volunteers from the
Preschool and Scouts, were very busy
managing traffic and parking cars at the
well attended Red Hill Market on Easter
Saturday.
Roads around the market were
extremely busy and Lions would like to
thank those motorists who obey the
speed restrictions and follow the
directions of the road controllers.
“ The majority of motorists are aware of
the extreme traffic conditions at such
busy markets and are considerate of
others, and their cooperation makes the
difficult job of traffic management at
such busy times a little easier. All our
personnel on the roads are trained in
traffic management and have control of
the roads around the market on market
days,” said the Lions Market Parking
Coordinator. “A hold up of even a few
minutes can contribute significantly to

WHY I JOINED LIONS
...
After arriving in Arthurs Seat
to enjoy retirement 6 years
ago I found it very different
from the big s moke,
Melbourne, where I had lived
all my life. Trying to find a
sense of belonging wasn’t quick in coming.
Then I became a member of the Red Hill
Lions, a small group of friendly, hardworking
people doing great work for the community
and enjoying the local area and social
outings. I have been able to develop new
skills and talents. I coordinate the collection
of recycled glasses and help to organise
fundraising events like the Biggest Morning
Tea.
Lions has given me a purpose and my list of
friends has grown quite considerably.
Why not join me?
Contact me at
sueandjeffwhite@gmail.com
Red Hill District Lions will
celebrate their birthday this month
with a lunch on Wed May 27.
If you have been a member or
involved with Lions or would like to attend
please contact lionsnewsletter1@gmail.com
or ring 5989 6498 / 5989 3034

Happy Easter.
Fourteen year old Zoe
has William’s
Syndrome, a rare genetic disease, but that
doesn’t stop her getting the best out of life.
She is bubbly and friendly and does her
very best to do the right thing and try her
hardest all the time
As well as being a great host sister for our
Japanese and Indonesian exchange
students, Zoe is involved in lots of other
activities including Riding Develops Abilities
(RDA - previously known as Riding for the
Disabled), drama and loves being assistant
coach and chief cheerleader for her sister
Maya's basketball team.
Zoe loves singing and dancing and learning
other languages and can be often found
combining these three things looking up
international music videos on Youtube. Her
ultimate goal in life is to look after animals in
between touring as a famous singer.
Congratulations Zoe.

NATIONAL TRUST “HISTORY IN PLACE” WORKSHOP
Students of Red Hill Consolidated School experience some of the
indigenous ways of life
The whole of the Mornington Peninsula
was inhabited by two clans of the
Indigenous people of the Boon
Wurrung, therefore, it is highly likely
that the Endeavour Fern Gully at Red
Hill Red Hill was within their trading
route.
Grade 5 students from Red Hill
Consolidated School gathered at the
Endeavour Fern Gully to explore how
these people might have used local
plants for food, medicine, weaving,
tools and weapons.
They were
fortunate to have the assistance and
expertise of “The History in Place”
team, engaged by the National Trust
and supported by skilled National Trust
volunteers as well as Peter Aldenhoven
Head of Indigenous Studies at
W oodleigh. Four students from
Woodleigh School also participated in
the workshop.
Indigenous welcome
To set the scene Peter Aldenhoven,
acknowledged the traditional
custodians of the land and discussed
the ways that Aboriginal peoples
welcome visitors to country, particularly
on Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah)
where he comes from. Peter welcomed
everyone and introduced them to the
site with a smoking ceremony, face
paint and traditional song from
Minjerribah.
A group of students walking through the
gully with their expert guide, Jill Phillips,
studying the plants that could have been
used for food.
Fire drills
Students looked at the way in which the
Boon Wurrung people would have
made fire for their everyday needs of
cooking and warmth. Endeavour Fern
Gully is one of the few areas on the
Mornington Peninsula where the
Austral Mulberry tree grows. The hard
straight wood of the tree was used to
make fire drills which, when twirled
between the hands on a piece of grass
tree flower stem, would produce sparks
to ignite the tinder.
Medicinal plants
Indigenous people used a multitude of
herbal medicines. The bark of the
Blackwood was used for stomach
complaints and burns, either as an
infusion or poultice. Manna gum leaves
were used to smoke out fever and
green shoots of bracken were rubbed
on insect bites.
Scar trees
Scar trees found in the gully could have
been caused by removal of bark to
make shields, weapons or tools. Manna
Gums are also found in the gully and
they were used to make shields and
water vessels.
Sean Edwards and teacher Seamus
Thomson discuss the medicinal uses of the
plants
The students were divided into groups
to explore various aspects of
indigenous life. Each group took one
particular aspect and, with the help of
National Trust volunteers, prepared to
make a short video clip on their topic.
Bush food
The Boon Wurrung were huntergathers, so they would have gathered
food from the Endeavour Fern Gully
such as Kangaroo apple, bracken roots
and sweet lerps formed on the Manna
Gum leaves, as well as honey and
numerous other staple foods.
HILL
’N’
RIDGE
Weaving
Various grasses, rushes and reeds
were collected as the plant varies
depending on the type of fibre required.
The inner bark of the Messmate was
used to make course string and fishing
nets while the smooth leaves of the
spiny headed mat rush were used for
making fine baskets and the string for
string bags.
Students then practised making string
which is a skilled occupation requiring
much practice.
Videos and QR codes
Students have been working on their
videos back at school, and we are
looking forward to seeing some of
these becoming available on the
National Trust (Victoria) Endeavour
Fern Gully website, and through the QR
codes on markers around the
Endeavour Fern Gully. When you visit
the Endeavour Fern Gully in the future,
you will be able to use your smart
phone to access these videos by
scanning the QR codes.
