PRICELESS
SUMMER EDITION ELEVEN
Life Starts Here!
FRIDAY 23RD MARCH 2012
Falls Creek & Mount Beauty THIS WEEK
MURRAY TO MOYNE
For Our Hospital
T
hanks to the efforts of dedicated
individuals behind the scenes; and
then to the fit folk who do the riding
(after chasing great sponsorship), our local
hospital has benefitted to the tune of around
$57,000 over the eight years that we have
been involved in the Murray to Moyne.
The Murray to Moyne Cycle Relay had a
humble beginning, when in 1987, Hester
Woodrup and a team of Port Fairy women
challenged her husband, Graham ‘Woody’
Woodrup, the Port Fairy Apex Club and
another team of local identities to ride in
relay from the Murray River in Mildura to
the Moyne River in Port Fairy. That very
first ride, which raised money for the Port
Fairy Hospital, started at 2pm on Saturday
afternoon and, riding through the night,
was completed within 24 hours. Right from
the first ride ‘Woody’ saw the potential for
the event and his dynamic personality and
enthusiasm in those early years established
the M2M and enabled it to grow into the
huge event it has become today.
The event has gone from raising $10,000 in
1987 to an estimated $1.3m in 2011 when
1,204 riders representing 150 organisations

Falls Creek & Mount Beauty THIS WEEK
AMAZING EVENTS
All Good
T
he weather has been an issue in
recent times and the first couple of 3
Peaks suffered because of it. But this
year was superb - all round.
The Audax Alpine Classic (late Jan) was held
in clear weather. The Triathlon (early Feb)
enjoyed an excellent day after some doubtful
reports. The Labour Day weekend for the 3
Peaks and the Conquestathon was superb and
last weekend - after excessive rains in the days
before - brought clear skies for the runners in
the Alpine Challenge.
The Conquestathon saw good numbers
(almost 200) enjoy the day and make it to
the top of Victoria’s finest - a great feeling.
Well done to the local Lions Club members
for continuing this great popular event.
The weekend later saw several locals who were
busy with other sports on the long weekend,
take to the track and achieve their goal of
reaching the Summit - thereby crossing that
one off the list - even if their legs were letting
them know. Jason Nightingale joined the
team to climb to the Summit - as the result of
losing a bet on Darts on Saturday night and
looked pretty good afterwards.
Over $125,000
in contributions returned to this
community since opening Dec ‘07!
Ph: 03 5754 4484

Overall, climbing Mt Bogong is an important
aspect of the attractions in this area and
climbing it should be on everyone’s agenda.
Of the locals that did the 3 Peaks Challenge
this year, Andrew Mero shaved 2 hours and
40 minutes from his previous time of 13
hours. He commented that “the organisation
was so much better this year than last year,
which made the whole event much more
enjoyable.” Andy also said it was great to
see locals supporting the event by manning
check points around the course and
“encouraging everyone as they came past.”
Other locals were Craig Docherty (1st time),
Mark Weir and Franno Jackson (for the third
time) and an ex Falls Creeker, the slim Ned
Woolley did it for the first time. Mark can be
quoted as saying “the best one ever!”
Double the number of entrants took part
in last weekend’s Alpine Challenge (160km,
100km & 60km) run around the high
Hand cyclist Gary Connor (with his mate Ray
Losionek) achieved a brilliant 165km this year,
25km better than last year. Pic - Ken Bell.
plains and after a very wet lead up, the event
proved to be a huge success. Based at Bogong
Village, the organisers were particularly
pleased with the support of the locals and the
service and support provided by the team at
Bogong Jacks and the village in general. They
will be back bigger and better next year. •

discussed amongst the community
in recent times. Now, thanks to the good

They will be located at the Dederang

At short notice, a meeting come familiarisation

coming Wednesday evening the 28th March.
Qualified personnel will be at the Tavern to

MOTORING TIPS
Holiday Driving in the
Country
Holiday destinations often involve long trips.
Fatigue is a major cause of accidents and can
overwhelm a driver in a matter of moments.
Allow plenty of time to reach the destination
and treat the holiday as starting from the time
you leave home (not at the time you reach your
destination). Treating your trip as part of the
holiday encourages you to enjoy the travel and plan
to do things with the kids while on route. This will
take the tension out of the drive, allowing time
for regular stops and will keep you safer.
Impatience leads to accidents. Just because some
other idiot does something stupid, there is no need
for you to try and demonstrate your superiority. Let
the idiot go and keep well clear. The time difference
between driving rashly and taking care will only
mean several minutes difference over 500km.

Swimming Success
A team of nine students from Mount Beauty
Primary School and one from Tawonga
Primary School represented the Kiewa Valley at
AQUAMOVES in Shepparton last Wednesday
14th. All students had a great time and lots of
laughs and sunshine added to the wonderful
atmosphere of the day (not counting the
sighting of a two metre snake in the car park).
Results for Mount Beauty kids are: Rhys
Cook: 3rd in the 9/10yr boys 50m Freestyle
& 9th in the 9/10yr boys 50m Backstroke.
Billy Cootee: 7th in the 9/10yr boys 50m
Backstroke. Holly Cootee: 2nd in the 12/13yr
girls 50m Freestyle & 4th in the 12/13yr girls

Falls Creek & Mount Beauty THIS WEEK
LOCAL SPORT
A Mixed Bag
couple of thrillers and a thumping
were the outcomes from this weekend’s
senior cricket fixtures. In the juniors, the
U17’s semi final proved to be a bowlers’ game.
Mount Beauty restricted Kiewa to 120, with all
bowlers performing superbly. Tom McMahon
(3/13) and Ash Tonn (2/23) were the multiple
wicket takers. The run chase started poorly,
with Mount Beauty quickly reduced to 4/8.
Despite a spirited partnership between Nick
Iaria and Ash Tonn, Mount Beauty were
bowled out for 74 - a disappointing end to
the season for the boys, but certainly some
promising signs after Christmas.
C grade had their final warm up before
finals, and with the late withdrawal of Tigga
Hall, looked a little light in batting depth.
Mount Beauty restricted Baranduda to
7/148 from their 40 overs, with Alfie Powell,
Rocket McMahon and Maggie Simpson all
picking up two wickets. The chase started
well, however the fall of the first wicket at
33 triggered a collapse which saw the boys’
slump to 7/93. Maggie Simpson continued
his good form with the bat, making an
excellent 47n.o. while carrying the side to an
agonising three runs short of victory.
B grade headed to Yack for their qualifying
final against Kiewa, and despite a delayed
start had the game all but wrapped up by tea.
Kiewa showed little interest in a fight, meekly
surrendering for a paltry 44. This perhaps
detracts from the fine bowling performances of
Bowser Cook (5/25) and Claw Derrick (2/16),
with Sorbent Vandenberg (3/0) mopping up the
tail. The chase was more about batting practice,
Mount Beauty finishing at 5/198. Strauchanie
Best (60no) got some much needed time in the
middle, with all other batsmen getting starts.
A grade played out a heartbreaking five run
loss in their qualifying final against Yack. A fine
early bowling performance on day one saw Yack
reduced to 4/60 at tea. This became 7/120 with

an hour and a half of play left, however Yack
managed to recover to finish the day with 206.
Jez Peacock continued his good post-Christmas
form with 4/61, while Araldite Pask finished
with 4/44 from his 36(?) overs. Mount Beauty’s
innings virtually mirrored Yack’s, with the
Power slumping to 4/28 then 7/88. A fantastic
partnership between Father Time Betheras
(60no) and Cowboy McLennan (50) got the
Power to within 30 of victory before Cowboy
was unluckily run out. Some late hitting and
suicidal running saw the team all out on 201
with 2 balls remaining in the game.
This week’s games see all 3 senior teams playing
semi finals. A Grade travel to Howlong as the
‘lucky loser’ in a must win encounter, B Grade
are at home against Howlong, while C Grade
are also at home playing Barny/Chiltern.
