REPORT BYTHE MONASH Adventure Park could be set for a major upgrade to boost the profi le of one of the region’s big-gest tourist attractions.

A detailed redevelopment plan put forward to the Berri Barmera Council by the park’s caretakers, Tony Ihle and Bev Snider, includes relocat-ing the kiosk to the front of the park, on-site accommodation for caretak-ers, an entertainment area and a trib-ute to Monash Playground designer Grant Telfer.

Berri Barmera Mayor Peter Hunt said council is looking into the ideas

proposed in the redevelopment plans.

“We have had some ideas come in from the people who run the park and we have to look through some of those,” he said.

“(The caretakers are) trying to make it more inviting, perhaps look-ing at relocating the little shop to the

front.”The plans suggest that with coun-

cil’s assistance, the caretakers would like to see the appeal and the security of the park enhanced, to make it run as a viable business and be more en-joyable for visitors.

Mr Hunt said relocating the cur-rent kiosk to the front foyer is one of the ideas council is investigating.

“We also have to be aware we do have a little store in Monash,” he said.

Irrigator compo call revived

CALLS for irrigator compensation have been made on an ongoing basis by various groups for several years now but have struggled to gain any real mo-mentum with political parties generally unwilling to push the barrow.

During the recent election cam-paign, new Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone backed calls for compen-sation for any water compulsorarily acquired by the government.

However, what about compensa-tion for the water allocations that have been signifi cantly reduced over the past few years?

It is indisputable that cuts to irriga-tor allocations have hurt our region.

We have seen ‘blockies’ leave the land already and it would seem there is more to come.

Mr Whetstone is, himself, an irriga-tor and came to political prominence as the chief of the South Australian Murray Irrigators and so is well aware of the is-sues surrounding water in this region.

In his call for irrigator compensa-tion in today’s Riverland Weekly, Ron Gray is reintroducing a topic that is likely to continue rearing its head as time goes on.

Why I live here . . . Peter Lutz, Moorook

1. The act or process of making amends for something; 2. Something given as reparation for loss, or injury.

Word of the Week . . . Compensation (noun)

People continue to go there (Monash Adventure Playground), it is just a matter of looking to how we can make extra benefits.

RENOWNED Riverland grape grower and winemaker Thomas Angove died last week in Renmark, aged 92.

The famous wine and brandy legend and grandson of William Angove, founder of Angove Family Winemakers, was well known for inventing the wine cask.

As managing director of Renmark’s Angove Family Winemakers from 1947 to 1983, Mr Angove expanded the company’s Riverland vineyard before creating the wine cask over a two year period during the 1960s.

Mr Angove was awarded an Order of Australia honour in 1994 for his services to winemaking and he played a major role in introducing signifi cant wine grape varieties to the Riverland.

On top of his many achievements, Mr Angove was the fi rst winemaker in Australia to store bulk wine in stainless steel tanks, which is common practice today.

A memorial service will be held at Ter-ragong, Evans Street, Renmark today at 11am.

WITH the end of daylight sav-ings, State Water Minister Paul Caica has announced a change in garden watering times.

Householders will still be limited to a maximum of five hours watering a week on any day for hand-held hoses and dripper systems but the permit-ted hours will change to 7am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm.

Mr Caica said watering cans and buckets can be used at any time, while sprinklers and other watering systems remain banned under enhanced level three wa-ter restrictions.

The change to watering hours does not affect the elderly and disability permit holders.

Mr Caica added that people across South Australia are stick-ing to watering limits.

“We will continue to look at water consumption on a month by month basis but I am im-pressed by the community’s ef-forts to limit water use – even under the more flexible restric-tions introduced in November,” he said.

TOURISTS basked in the Riverland’s sunshine dur-ing the Easter long week-end break as thousands of people took in the sights and sounds of the region.

The River Murray was a focal point for both locals and visitors over the long weekend, according to tourist operators around the region.

“Everyone wants a cruise...they have come to the river and they want to do a cruise on it,” Berri Visitor Information Centre co-ordinator Danyon De-Buell said.

“We always get a lot from Victoria because they come over for the water activities,” Waikerie Visitor Information Centre man-ager Lucy Quintel added.

Tracy Bye, manager of the Loxton Information Centre, said early statis-tics indicate an increase in tourist numbers on last year.

“It was definitely up compared to last year,

with Sunday probably be-ing the really outstanding day,” she said.

“All the holiday mak-ers were in really good spirits and so that is always a bonus when everyone is happy.”

While Tuesday’s stormy weather had many school holiday campers looking for shelter, Mrs Bye said the Easter weather could not have been better.

“Easter is such a won-derful time when you get weather like that,” she said.

“The weather was fan-tastic, people were defi-nitely out and about and when people are out and about they and go visit at-tractions and shop and go on tours,” Riverland Tour-ism Association chairper-son Fleur Carthew added.

According to Ms De-Buell, interstate and over-seas visitors left wonderful comments in the visitors book at the Berri Visitor Information Centre.

“It has been incredibly busy,” she said.

“One of the comments in the visitors book is ‘great place, our ninth Eas-ter in the Riverland’.”

Ms Quintel said Waik-erie was able to keep tour-ists in the area for longer this Easter.

“The caravan park was booked out, which was re-ally good,” she said.

“The banks were lined with camper upon camp-er.

“It was good for Waik-

erie because we had things happening here to keep them in this area, whereas (in previous years) I’d be sending them up river to find something to do.

“We had the markets, an Easter egg hunt, we had food and wine tasting, the speedway, the Cadell Harvest Festival and the Morgan markets as well, so there was lots hap-pening in the Riverland West area.”

Meanwhile, three people were charged with drink driving over the long weekend and a spate of vehicle break-ins and a car fire were reported to police.

Two eskies were re-portedly taken from sites at Riverland cara-van parks and camp-sites, while in Renmark there were two reports of push bikes stolen from camp areas.

A SURVEY conducted by the Riv-erland Winegrape Growers As-sociation, at a series of meetings held across the region last week, has revealed that another 170 lo-cal growers are likely to exit the industry next year.

More than 200 growers at-tended meetings in Waikerie, Barmera, Berri, Renmark and Loxton to discuss the Wine Restructuring Action Agenda recently released by the wine industry’s peak bodies.

The association’s executive officer Chris Byrne said the results of the surveys are extremely con-cerning.

“We asked them whether they wanted to continue growing grapes next year and 83 per cent of them said ‘yes they will’,” he said.

“That means 17 out of every 100 are saying they won’t.

“It is concerning because basi-

cally they are being forced out of the industry because...they have no financial means of staying in the industry.”

Mr Byrne said a positive out-come of the survey was that more than 40 per cent who said they will continue to grow winegrapes will develop new business plans.

“People are taking it on very, very seriously and are going to

seek professional advice in terms of whether or not they should continue in the industry,” he said.

During the Riverland meet-ings, the three main topics dis-cussed were the industry over-supply, how the Murray Darling Basin Plan’s sustainable diversion limits will affect irrigator water al-locations and the proposed Hen-

ry volumetric wine tax, which is threatening to cripple the indus-try.

“We talked about the serious-ness that the four peak bodies believe the industry needs to take about 20 per cent of its total vines out of production,” he said.

“It also needs to rationalise the number of wineries because there are too many wineries pro-

ducing too much wine at a low price point.

“They (the peak bodies) de-clared that at least 17 per cent of all industry enterprises, that is vineyards and wineries, are un-economic, so in other words, they can’t make any money.”

Mr Byrne said growers ex-pressed concern as to whether they would be compensated for

a reduction in allocations when the Murray Darling Basin Plan is introduced in July.

“The fact we have to forego more of our water is a problem,” he said.

“It is especially a problem because there is no indication of what compensation, if any, will be made to irrigators as a replace-ment in regards to that water.”

With growers venting frus-trations during the meeting, Mr Byrne said there is talk amongst growers that the Riv-erland needs to unite as one.

“There are a lot of growers suggesting now it is high time the region stood up for itself and ba-sically refuse to sell grapes at less than a sustainable price,” he said.

“There is quite a bit of talk amongst growers of trying to form together and not to give in to these (low) prices we are seeing this year, where they are receiving a $100 a tonne or less.”

“We want to try and help one another.”

The plans suggest the current ‘Paddle Boat’ kiosk, located at the centre of the park, could become a baby changeroom if a new kiosk is constructed at the entrance.

Putting forward the idea of on-site accommodation, the caretakers believe this would not only help with security matters but give coun-cil the option to extend park open-ing times.

Citing the process as expensive, Mr Hunt said on-site accommoda-tion is a long term future prospect.

“That is a fairly costly exercise at the present time that we couldn’t contemplate but it is something the

managers have brought up in their report and it is something we will need to look at,” he said.

“(To) have a manager on the site (means) somebody would be there all the time but that is an issue that is probably a little bit further down the track.”

Among the other plans are jazz nights and other entertainment, with the caretakers hoping council may consider supplying a covered entertainment area to host summer twighlight sessions.

Due to constant queries about the old Monash Playground, the park caretakers would like to con-struct a display honouring inventor and designer Grant Telfer.

Suggested in the plans is the possibility of Mr Telfer holding en-

tertainment nights at the Monash Adventure Park, where he would discuss the history and ideas be-hind the former adult playground.

While Mr Hunt said council is inves-

tigating each idea, he believes more needs to be done to take advantage of the pulling power the park has.

“People continue to go there, it is just a matter of looking to how we can make extra benefi ts there at

the park,” he said.“It would be nice if more people

could put a donation in and then more things can be done to it.

“(More needs to be done) to make it a little bit more inviting to get people to come inside.”

When asked whether new piec-es of equipment could be added, Mr Hunt said the idea has not been dismissed.

“It is a possibility,” he said.“You would have to look at what

that piece of equipment would be.”

WHEN Grant Telfer began cre-ating his dream playground in Monash in the mid 1960s, little did he know it would capture the imagination of so many.

Mr Telfer described the situa-tion as an “increasingly litigious climate” when the playground closed in late 1992 due to public liability reasons.

While Mr Telfer’s playground closed many years ago, for River-landers like Loxton resident Pe-ter Scotford, memories of having fun on the creative play equip-ment will always remain.

“The old playground was fun for every age group,” he said.

“The engineering side of things was incredible whether it be the slippery dip or the fl ying fox.

“All the bumps and bruises we got while on the equipment were all part of the fun.”

Mr Scotford, who has man-aged the Monash Club for the past 10 years, said he remembers many club visitors leaving their wives behind to head to the park.

“I can remem-ber, going back years ago, the blokes that used to come over here (to the club) would have a beer and then leave the la-dies to go over to the park,” he said.

“It is more a family playground now.”

The area of the former play-ground was reopened as the Monash Adventure Park in 1996, thanks to government funding and the Berri Barmera Council.

Park manager Bev Snider praised Mr Telfer for his abil-ity to build equipment with left over scrap metal from his engi-neering business.

“It was unique (as) every-thing he built was from his own imagination, from scratch,” she said.

Ms Snider can remember the experience of the big slides.

“The main feature was the 40 foot high slippery dip which took me three attempts to get up to the top,” she said.

“Once I was up there, the view from the top platform was absolutely magnifi cent and then it was the scary slide down to the bottom.

“Once I got over that fi rst attempt, I was back up

there again.”The Monash Playground had

a reputation as an adult play-ground, which Ms Snider re-members well.

“I had my fi ve year old son with me and I remember on the third day, right, we are back to the playground again and he said ‘oh no mum, not again’, I was enjoying it more than my fi ve year old son,” she said.

“It is not a playground now, it is a park with some playground equipment.

“It is still very well used, it is more of a family park than what the playground was.”

When the playground closed in 1992, it had a total of 180 pieces of equipment and Berri Barmera Mayor Peter Hunt remi-nisced about spending hours en-tertaining himself on the rides.

“You have a look at some of the equipment that used to be out there (and) you wonder how we fl ew down those things, whopping big slides on bags, and you just didn’t care what you could of done to yourself,”

he said. “When you

look back at the stuff now, you think ‘gee, that was a pretty awe-some piece of machinery and equipment’.”

Fans of both the current and former play-ground continue

to express their opinions on on-line blogs.

“The playground was a truly amazing place and it’s such a shame it was pulled down...you could spend hours there,” one blogger said.

“In his park there was a huge tower from which dropped a straight slide, a wonderful wavy slide, and a slide that spiralled down ‘round the tower,” another said.

“There were tarzan swings with large gantries to climb and swing down from.

“There were fl ying foxes.”While many buses of tourists

visit the Monash Adventure Park today, the number of people is well off the reported 200,000 which used to venture to Grant’s Monash Playground annually.

It is hoped the proposed plans for the park could see tourism fi gures climb a little closer to those experienced in the glory days.

WHILE satisfi ed with the Chaffey election result, vocal irrigator Ron Gray hopes new Member for Chaffey Tim Whetstone will lobby for water com-pensation payments for Riverland growers.

“I suppose, as far as I’m concerned, it was time for a change,” Mr Gray said.

The compensation initiative has been an on-going issue between the region’s irrigators and the State Government, how-ever, Mr Gray said for-mer Member for Chaffey Karlene Maywald was unwilling to campaign

for it.“We tried to lobby her

(Mrs Maywald) for irriga-tor compensation before the election but she would not go near it,” he said.

“We still haven’t got all our water back.”

Mr Gray said legisla-tion allowed the govern-ment to take water for crit-ical human needs but the rules were bent along the line.

“She (Mrs Maywald) always said it was for criti-cal human needs only but a lot of it was going to the environment,” he said.

“If she wanted to do that, she should have changed the legislation.”

Mr Gray said it was

unfair water was taken from irrigators without any compensation for do-ing so.

“Why should irriga-tors bear the brunt of the whole drought?” he said.

“If the government was forced to lease water from irrigators, it would have at least left some money here, in the Riverland.

“My friends in the city didn’t suffer from the drought one bit, other than their gardens going a bit brown.

“What’s going to hap-pen if the drought goes on for another four years?

“You can’t take from one community and give to another without com-

pensation.“Look at the govern-

ment when it built the Anzac Highway.

“It knocked down houses and businesses all over the place but they didn’t just take them.”

Mr Gray accepts what happened in the past can not be changed but hopes the compensa-tion initiative can be taken up in the near future.

“This is important so we can sustain our irriga-tion communities,” he said.

“It will be very in-teresting to see whether (Tim) Whetstone takes that on.”

Renewed call for compensation

By LES PEARSON

FOLLOWING rainfall in late March and early April, dryland farmers across the Riverland and Mallee have begun seeding in anticipation for the break of the cropping season.

While many are mainly sowing stock feed, the gradual progression into sowing crops is likely to follow.

However, Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Darren Ray said growers should be wary of jumping the gun.

“The rainfall over dryland crop-ping areas in March has certainly been great for some areas but has been very patchy,” he said.

“It is diffi cult to see how that event would be construed as the break in the season, as it was so patchy and follow up rain within a few weeks of it has not occurred.”

Solid falls in the region on Tues-day are sure to have more growers dusting off their tractors.

Monash farmer Lenny Gava is still cautious.

“I’ve seen seven other seasons with similar starts, so I’m not getting very excited,” he said.

“Last year we had an inch of rain in November but you can’t grow grain in November, you need it in Septem-ber.

“Everyone says it’s going to be a bumper year but I don’t know.”

Mr Ray indicated that the genuine break of the season is not far away, with near average rainfall expected over the coming quarter.

“The Predictive Ocean Atmo-sphere Model for Australia (POAMA) breakdown across the month of April suggests the end of April tending

more above average for rainfall than the start, so I think we might see the proper break in the season near the end of the month as usual,” he said.

“The seasonal outlook (on the bureau’s website) does indicate above median rainfall over South Australian agricultural areas is less likely across the whole three month block and above median rainfall more likely than not, over northern New South Wales and south east Queensland.

“This product is, unfortunately, not able to say how much above or below average though, and ocean atmospheric dynamical models run by the (bureau) indicate rainfall amounts will likely be near average over SA, despite being more likely to be below average.”

Riverland irrigators will also be

watching the data closely, with solid falls expected in the Murray-Darling basin over coming months.

“(The data) indicates above aver-age rainfall totals on the east coast of Australia, in line with the seasonal outlook image,” Mr Ray said.

“Given about 85 per cent of the River Murray water comes out of southern New South Wales and Vic-toria, the outlook for above average rainfall in south-east Queensland and northern NSW would provide additional much needed water into the system on top of what is starting to come down from recent rain in those areas.

“But, if it occurs, it would likely not provide as much in-fl ow as people and the river system would like.”

As April rain falls, growers prepare for extended tractor time

Call today for your private inspection

HOUSE or home? Unfortunately pictures

rarely capture the feeling you get when you walk through a home, I can only encourage you to take that walk yourself.

Tastefully renovated, this is a house you will be proud to call your family home!

Complete with new roof, gutters and rendered exterior, a fantastic feature of this home is the massive new living room extension with its polished timber fl oors and beautiful double French doors which open up to the central dining area.

The modern kitchen with its large walk in pantry, island bench, dishwasher and gas cooker has only a wall of glass between it and the lovely outdoor entertaining area.

The lounge with split system reverse cycle a/c is an informal retreat where you can kick off your shoes and put your feet up, this room also lends itself to be made into an additional large

bedroom as lets face it, with such a large main living area, who needs a lounge.

All three spacious bedrooms have ceiling fans and one with a walk in robe, there is also an offi ce or small fourth bedroom. Extra bonuses are; a second toilet, considered a necessity by today’s busy families; ducted evaporative a/c; centrally located gas wall space heater and the home has been recently fully rewired.

The huge double carport under the main roof is almost big enough to shelter four vehicles.

The shed may not look fl ash but is surprisingly large and offers the buyer ample workshop and extra vehicle storage space. There is a chook run and the remnants of an old cubby house tell a story about the great lifestyle the children have enjoyed here.

The current owners loved their decking, a lovely treated pine walkway wraps the front of the home and a nice decked pad at the front makes a great area to entertain while shaded from the afternoon sun.

At the rear of the home the beautiful vine covered pergola also with extensive decking blends nicely with the green surrounds.

At over an acre (4873m2) this is a surprisingly easy to manage property, the grounds are tidy with gravel driveways; mulched front yard, lawns, shady trees all in a delightful rural setting amongst the neighboring almond trees.

Heading 38 ptHeading 38 pt

By ALAN ERSKINE

FROM the outside it looks just like a huge corrugated iron-covered shed, an unusual and certainly noticeable landmark near the corner of 7th Street and Olive Avenue.

But the inside of the two-storey (plus spacious loft) building reveals a creative and stunning home, tastefully decorated and retaining part of Mildura’s earliest history.

The home, which owners Alan and Shirley Cameron have called simply The Shed, has been built on the site of some of Mildura’s earliest horse stables, and some of that old wood is featured throughout.

That includes the extra solid four-poster bed, the swinging gate at the entrance to the loft stairway, the table and benches on the patio, with one of the original horse troughs now housing some colourful plants.

The house created widespread interest at an open inspection last Sunday in the lead-up to a planned auction by ResCom Mildura on April 10.

That’s if it doesn’t sell beforehand, the building is being advertised in the range between $570,000 and $630,000.

Alan, 68, and Shirley, 63, actually had three properties on

the original block.

They did up the house and sold it off, then the middle residence they called The Highlander, and now The Shed, consisting of two luxury apartments, offi ce, reception area, courtyard and garage areas.

It was built in 2000 as a residence, along with a bed and breakfast unit, and has bookings well into 2010.

Situated at 16 Olive Avenue, on the corner of Gallagher Lane, it oozes history once you are

inside the corrugated iron walls.

Sarah’s Loft is unique, beautifully designed and constructed, and featuring much of the old timber and other items that were a part of the original horse racing stables.

It also provides an interesting link to the late A.S. Ripper Nichols, a well-known Mildura character who formerly occupied the site, and whose main claim

to fame was running the smokey and well-frequented downstairs billiard room off Deakin Avenue in the building now occupied by La Trobe University.

The Shed also has many built-in items of interest, blending old history with modern-day fi xtures and fi ttings.

The original garage doors are now the bed-head.

Theres no shortage of car parking, in a huge garage off the secluded courtyard, and a reception/interview room and spacious offi ce where hundreds of

Mildura couples have made their wedding plans (Alan and Shirley are both marriage celebrants).

Alan is as well known for that as his pioneer work with Mildura balloon fl ights and even earlier history with tractor and i m p l e m e n t s , road transport

industry, Mildura Co-op, Sun Garden Packers and Cameron’s Bike Shop.

Alan and Shirley say they are not quite sure what to do when The Shed sells, especially as many of the furnishings will be included in the sale, they say they will cross that bridge when they come to it.

AUSTRALIA’S favourite small car for the past decade, Toyota Corolla, is now even better with the safety of vehicle stability control (VSC) now standard across the range.

Corolla sedan models produced since December, and now available in Toyota dealerships, include standard fi tment of VSC, which also comes with traction control.

These two technologies work together to help the driver retain control of the car, particularly in slippery and other low-traction conditions.

An upgrade late last year made stability and traction control standard for Corolla hatch. VSC automatically ap-plies the brakes to individual wheels and, where appropri-ate, reduces engine power, helping to ‘steer’ the vehicle where the driver intends to go.

International road-safety experts have said vehicle stability control could prevent nearly one third of all fatal crashes and reduce rollover risk by as much as 80 per cent.

Traction control, as its name suggests, can help pre-

vent loss of traction of a car’s driven wheels.

Corolla is the world’s most popular car, with more than 35 million sold worldwide.

Approximately 1.1 million have been sold in Australia, or about 22 per cent of all Toyota vehicles sold in this country.

Corolla became Australia’s top selling small car in 2000 and achieved an unbroken 10 year run at the top with another clear cut victory last year.

Sales in 2009 totalled 39,013, which also made

Corolla the best-selling Toyota in Australia for the year.

It was Australia’s best selling car, bar none, in July, August and October.

During Corolla’s 10 year reign, its sales have exceeded 30,000 each year and have topped 40,000 four times.

All Corolla models for the Australian market are produced in Japan.

The range has been fully imported since 2000, the fi rst year in which Corolla achieved small car leadership.

THE great Australian tradition of the Easter camping trip is alive and well.

As I mingled with the travelling caravan and camping show along the Sturt Highway, I was amazed by the variety of rigs and set-ups on the road.

The odd caged trailer stuffed full of bedding and household goods, all held down by the kids’ bikes, mixed it with top of the range camper vans and caravans.

It brought back great memories of our family holidays cramped into a Volkswagen, towing a tan-dem trailer loaded with everything, including a kitchen sink.

In the Christian tradition, Eas-ter is a sign of resurrection, of new life.

As I drove along the banks of the Murray, I noticed a stand of

small box trees mingled with a number of old gnarled trees and long dead stumps.

These trees germinated after a fl ood about 10 years ago and have grimly held on to life ever since, through drought and adversity.

The fl oods in far away Queensland will hopefully result in their next big drink and perhaps the right conditions to spawn the next generation of new life.

On the other side of the track kids played in the dirt amongst colourful tents.

An assortment of toy cars, dolls and bikes were scattered around the camp chairs as dads talked about their next set of tyres and continued planning that big trip.

Mums just seemed to be happy chilling out and reading their favourite magazine, nodding oc-casionally in supposed agreement with their partners.

This to me is what makes this Great Southern Land so great.

The camping weekend and all that makes these times unique will surely live on.

The kids will remember these great family outings and seek to pass on these memories to their own kids. The tradition continues.

As I made my way home I listened to a radio interview with the director of Tourism Australia announcing their new campaign.

Lara Bingle has been pushed out but the next person in line just might be you.

They are calling for photos accompanied by 25 words about your favourite holiday destination.

These will go to make up their new website at nothinglikeaustra-lia.com, online about the middle of April.

With half of Adelaide heading to the Riverland for Easter, I am

sure I will see a few snaps from the Mighty Murray.

Newsbite: I heard a rumour on the weekend that the owner of

the 4WD and Adventure Show has sold the Adelaide event.

Keep an ear tuned for a big an-nouncement soon.

GARDENING FEATURE

By ANDREW WALLADGE

GRASSES and grass type plants will give a totally different look to any area.

For deserted urban places they can add to the derelict feel but in well maintained gardens they can make an area feel restful and cool.

Just the thing after a hard day at the offi ce.

It is the reason why ‘resorts’ use plenty of grasses and grass type plants in their landscaping.

The same effect can be created quite easily with careful planning which would include wise choices of plant material.

Used in straight lines and a small number of different species, grasses will give quite a formal feel while still looking

cool and relaxed. Used with other shrubs and trees

in random groups they will and can look quite natural.

Contrasting colours will create dramatic scenes, especially when very dark leaves are used against very light mulches such as white gravel.

Very fi ne leaves against dark fl at ground cover such as myoporum parvifolium ‘maroon’ will do the same job.

The strong contrast of any grassy plant, or grass like plant, with rounded shrubs is often enough of a contrast for most of us.

The modern, minimalistic, wide spaced grass look will only look right with the same sort of building design.

Some of the traits of true grasses include a fi ne mat like root system.

Many have wind borne seed and don’t ‘fl ower’ as we normally think of fl owering plants.

Flower they do and produce huge quantities of seed and some have made the most common weed spe-

cies we have all grown to hate (think of love grass and gentle Annie).

Pampas grass is also a major weed in forests in many places.

Thankfully, many others are quite benign and very well behaved.

Many are used as food and nest-ing material by the birds.

The alternative of true grasses is plants like mat rushes, lilies and so on which will, if used well, give a similar effect as grasses without the invasiveness of many grasses.

Some examples would include our local dianella revoluta which grows in our mallee and can be used in the toughest of spots and will respond magnifi cently if the going is easy.

It produces blue fl owers in spring, followed by blue berries which the birds will come for.

Many and varied forms from 30 centimetres to a lush one metre or so are available.

Lomandra longifolia, or mat rushes, are often lusher looking but will need more water to achieve this.

Again, many different forms are available.

Our own local lomandra effusa is worth using, although diffi cult to propagate in good numbers.

It is very low and innocuous but completely redeemed by its scented cream fl owers which sends its sweet fragrance over a very large area.

Out of the true grasses, one of my favourites would have to be triodia spp. (porcupine grasses and spinifex), with a sharp needle end to the leaf and beautiful fl ower and seed heads which turn brilliant orange late in the day.

The trick with any of the grasses and grass like plants is to not use too many or too many different types.

Have a look around some of the gardens locally and you will know what I mean.

Grasses in gardens will either look or feel right, or it will in some way be crowded and or messy.

The easiest way to maintain them all is to set them alight (but not in public areas or if you have timber based mulches, plastic drip line or if you live in town and don’t want to annoy the neighbours).

The alternative is to cut them back.

So if you want the resort look at home, start researching grasses and grass like plants now.

Grass type plants are a good option for your garden

SPORT SCOREBOARD

■ From Page 40

With major sponsorship continuing from the Loxton Hotel, as well as about a dozen smaller contributors, Mr Moore is confi dent the event has a solid future in the region.

He also believes the fact it is held on a Saturday af-ternoon with a social gath-ering after the racing sets it apart from other races in the state.

“So hopefully we get plenty of people staying and spending their money in Loxton and the Riverland,” Mr Moore said.

Entries will be taken right up to half an hour be-fore racing.

All registrations lodged after yesterday were to at-tract a late fee, but Mr Moore said he can waive the $10 fee for locals if they get entries in by tomorrow.

Other events held as part of the triathlon on Saturday afternoon will be the 2.5 kilometre fun run/walk for the under 16s, while a fi ve kilometre run will also be held for all ages.

Sisters dominate tennis comp RIVERLAND sisters Thessa, Claire and Michelle Burdon starred at the weekend’s Tintra Easter Tournament in Renmark, winning the women’s doubles com-petition amongst other titles.

It was a heated wom-en’s singles champion-ship match when Claire and Thessa brushed aside sisterly love to face off against each other, with Claire coming out victorious.

Michelle Burdon also partnered with Adam Ol-sen to claim the mixed doubles crown.

Former Riverlanders Dean Carter and James Pick won the men’s doubles championship, while Carter, previously of Cobdogla, also won the singles title.

By LES PEARSON

LOXTON High School was last week crowned the best athletic school in the state, after claim-ing the overall points shield at the recent South Australian High

School’s Athletics Championships held at Santos Stadium, Mile End.

Physical education teacher Rick Garrard said the boys claimed the win in the boys’ division one section, while the girls picked up third place in division one.

“We’ve actually won more of these titles than any other school in the state,” he said.

He said with all the sporting events happening at the start of the year, students have generally hit their peak fi tness by the time

the event rolls around.These events include internal

and interschool sports days, pedal prix and the upcoming triathlon.

“It’s really great how they feed into one another,” Mr Garrard said.

CHARLIE’S SPORTS GOSSWITH GRAHAM CHARLTON The Riverland’s most authoritative sports commentator ...

Ellee makes state team■ BERRI divi-sion one player Ellee Elefth-eriadis is off to Terrigul, NSW, this week as a member of the state under 16 girls’ national c h a m p i o n -ships basket-ball team.

C o m p e t i -tions in boys and girls under 14, 16 and 18 age groups will be involved.

Ben Mc-Culloch, also of Berri, will be at the championships as an assistant coach to the SA under 18 girls’ team.

Meanwhile, two Riverland teams have returned from the under 12 and under 16 country championships in Ad-elaide with titles.

The under 12 division two and di-vision four sides, coached by Loxton’s Jill Lange and Mark Lueth respec-tively, won their competitions, while the under 16 boys’ division two and girls’ division two teams lost their pre-liminary fi nal matches by only two points.

Six Riverland teams took part in all.

■ COBDOGLA’S Jason Gantz has just returned from a National Association of Speedway Racing Drivers development program in Canberra.

He was the only South Australian amongst the eight drivers at the event which ex-tended to such topics as fi t-ness and nutrition.

Four second placings in the three heats and feature event in his XF Falcon street stock at Waikerie’s Sunline track on Easter Sunday, rep-resented a change in luck for the former junior champion.

Gantz has only been rac-ing in the street stock class for around two and a half

years and in his fi rst sea-son, 2008/09, performed well, fi nishing top three in 21 of 52 races in his then XE Falcon.

His worst fi nish was sixth place.

A change to his XF Falcon for the current season also brought a change in luck.

Ongoing problems with the running of the vehicle se-verely affected performance and proved both frustrating and expensive, as various at-tempts to solve the problem failed.

Then ‘an authority on Fords’ suggested it may sim-ply be a faulty accelerator spring.

Bingo – problem solved and Jason qualifi ed 14th in the A main class of the Vic-torian championships in Mildura as the car fi nally ran smoothly.

But the curse hadn’t been lifted on a disappointing season.

After working his way up to fi fth spot with around 10 laps to go in the fi nal, he was cleaned up by another car and suffered major mechani-cal problems.

Easter, however, indi-cated better things are to come and Jason is hoping to put in some more good performances before the season ends.

■ FOLLOWING the preliminary Federa-tion Cup match be-tween the Riverland and Adelaide Col-legiate competition team Adelaide Red Stars, the offi ciating referee remarked he felt the standard was as good, if not bet-ter, than some state league matches.

Riverland defeat-ed the visitors 5-1 at the newly named Steve Poutakidis fi eld at Renmark in front of a good crowd but most who witnessed the clash considered the score at the end did not truly refl ect the contest.

In fact, Riverland goalkeeper Adrian Pipe felt that apart from problems in fi nishing off attacks and making the best of scoring oppor-tunities, Red Stars probably had more possession.

“They were a young, tall, athletic Sudanese side that ran and ran and probably had more opportunities but they seemed to lack confi dence in back-ing themselves to score,” he said.

In trying condi-tions, the home side led 3-0 at half time and, unlike their

opponents, when a scoring situation was created, fi nished off.

Nick Spinks was outstanding for Riverland, as he nev-er stopped running, while Steve Atkinson was in control in the midfi eld.

Then down back

Kyle Collinson and Tarquin Frahn had their hands full against the hard run-ning opponents but they stood up solidly to be important con-tributors.

A victory that was surely one of the Riverland’s best in recent times and a reward for some six months’ preparatory work under Nick Sotiroulis.

The squad can now await the draw for the Federation Cup proper for 2010 with some confi -dence. The opening game is on Saturday, April 24.

RENMARK 8586 6626 LMVD 46 BERRI 8582 3644

ROSENTHAL MAZDA

■ IN DINGHY racing circles it is often said “you do not win on the fi rst corner”.

Nevertheless, despite that theory, everyone tries to and in the recent annual Lock to Lock race near Renmark, some hec-tic action on the fi rst bend re-sulted in the 2009 winner Matt Thur capsizing and being put out of the contest.

In the end, the 100 kilome-tre event went to race favourite Linton Price in the 30hp sports class, followed by his brother- in-law Jason Gordon and WA’s Jade Branson.

And that is how the pecking order stands after three rounds of the inaugural Riverland Din-ghy Championships – Price, Gordon, Branson.

Now the question has to be asked whether the slightly slower craft on open water can bridge the gap on multi Riverland Dinghy Derby cham-pion Price in the tighter cours-es set for the last two rounds.

A new event The Hutchy Run on September 12 will be an all creek journey, while the fi fth and fi nal round on Octo-ber 9 will be circuit racing at the Renmark riverfront.

In the Lock to Lock race, Linton Price and his naviga-tor Colin Gordon covered the course in 1.06.10, only slightly ahead of Jason Gordon – Ben

Pobke 1.08.42, with Branson a further fi ve minutes back.

The 30hp standard was even closer, with Shane Palat under a minute ahead of Ste-phen Webb, while it was a similar fi nish in 25hp standard with Matt Schwartzkopff about 30 seconds clear of Anthony Lincoln.

Rhett Dempsey took out the 15hp standard comfort-ably from Andy Chigros, while evergreen veteran John Chigros had a 10 minute buffer over Ja-son Milner in 300cc modifi ed, while the 50hp standard went to Robert Dempsey.

Rookie sports saw Ben Mil-lar and navigator Matt Pearce record 1.10.31, ahead of Steve Warren and Trevor Shaddock was third.

The jetski section was keenly contested with Mike Stephenson, recording 51.48, winning from George Marquis (52.28) and Ed Szymanski (52.48).

The number of goals scored by the Riverland soccer team on the weekend.

In every fi nals series we have bowed out disappointingly. The disappointment still burns. ~ Barry Hall 5 SPORT


Digital Speed clocks in fourth

■ LOCAL trainer Don Gordon’s greyhound Digital Speed ran fourth behind raging favourite Sunny Boy Love in the fi nal of the Anniversary Cup at Gawler on Tuesday, in a race described by the caller as a rough-house affair.

Don has really been having some fun with this dog as in the previous week it defi ed the odds to win its heat of the event from the diffi cult box six, paying around $24 on the TAB.

And talking of defying the odds, while some tracks are experiencing diffi culty in attracting nominations, the Riverland club at Barmera re-ceived the maximum again for its seven event program this Saturday.

In the feature event, the fi nal of the Greg McAtee Riverland Cup, race six at 3.05pm, the same dogs that went around in the Prelude a fortnight ago will do it all over again.

The winner of the previous race, West Orange Wal, will start from box seven and the minor placeget-ters Sparrow Baz and Superb Shiraz from three and eight.

The other starters are Surf Burn, Coup De Loot, Rowland Bale, Snake Plissen and Blow By Blow.

The fi rst event is at 1pm. Admission is free and quality

catering will be available.

Night golf begins■ TAKING a whipper snipper, an axe or chainsaw to a game of golf I could understand. But a torch?

No mystery really.Night golf starts at the Renmark

course tomorrow night at 5pm for a barbecue, with tee off at 5.40.

While there may be plenty of torches, places are limited, so book-ings are essential.

New Renmark pro, Jamie Clut-terham is certainly giving newcom-ers a chance to get into the sport.

The junior golf program is up and running for ages fi ve to 17.

Initially it has been a Friday clinic (4.30 to 5.30pm) and on Sunday, on course play (1.30pm) at Renmark.

Eventually, when there are suf-fi cient participants, it is planned to have each local club run their own independent activities.

A school holiday junior pro-gram is also in progress this week.

And ladies have not been over-looked.

Clinics are under way at Renmark, with plans to extend to other clubs.

It is a great opportunity to try out golf. The fee is $15.

All enquiries to Jamie Clutter-ham on 8595 1514.

Riverlanders represent■ RIVERLAND fi nished third, be-hind Lower Eyre Peninsula and Gawler, in a 17 district state SAPSA-SA swimming carnival in Adelaide.

The local team recorded four fi rst placings (Bronte Phillips, April Burdon, Shay Hawkins and Joseph McKinnon), eight seconds, seven thirds and four fourths.

At the same time, a Riverland softball team won seven of its 10 matches in fi nishing runners-up in division two of their carnival.

Two of the defeats were 9-10 against City South and 11-12 against the eventual winners of the compe-tition Lower Eyre Peninsula.

Waikerie Primary School’s Beth-any Smith was selected in an exhi-bition game to close the carnival.

In an even team performance, other members to appear consis-tently amongst best player lists in-cluded Tylah Cooper, Jamii Leah Gray, Jesse Gregory and captain Chloe Passmore.

■ LOCAL speedboat enthusiasts are mourning the death of Tamworth’s Brian McCosker in an accident at the annual Easter Classic at Taree, Northern NSW, last weekend.

McCosker, 61, was a great sup-porter of speedboat events in the Riverland and had many friends in

this district as a result of racing here for over 15 years, most recently in the Berri Resort Hotel Spectacular earlier this year.

He lost his life when his legend-ary blown alcohol displacement boat Liberty fl ipped at around 225 kph.

Amongst many outstanding achievements in a long career was his taking out the inaugural world championship for the BAD catego-ry in 2007.

American Dave Bryant, 44, also died in a similar accident over the weekend at Taree.

■ AS A result of Bowls SA jun-ior co-ordinator Kelli Wray, until recently a member of the Aus-tralian squad preparing for the Commonwealth Games, show-ing an interest in coaching clin-ics for Riverland youngsters, a pilot session has been held at Moorook.

And the fact that 20 children at-tended indicates there is a defi nite need for the exercise, so further sessions are planned, at as many clubs interested in being involved.

The basic idea of this is to cre-ate a junior Riverland bowls squad of under 18 players.

The squad will not be club af-

fi liated, nor will they have to join a club. Further down the track it is planned that local juniors will get the chance to play against similar squads from other areas.

Eyre Peninsula, Clare, Barossa and several city areas are already getting groups together.

Any enquiries should be direct-

ed to Dixie Lee on 8583 0310.Also, Dixie is keen to borrow

as many junior bowls sets as pos-sible for the project, so if anyone can help, he would be pleased to hear from you.

We will keep you posted on when and where the next session will be held.

Clay shooters to descend■ THE 22nd FITASC Championship of Oceania clay target shooting competition will be held at the Renmark-Berri Field and Game Association range on April 24 to 26.

The 200 target event is hosted by the Field and Game Federation of Australia.

Around 170 shooters from Australia and countries like New Zealand and New Caledonia, who are members of the Na-tional Federation affi liated to the Federa-tion Internationale De Tir Armes Sportives De Chasse, will participate.

Categories are seniors, veterans (55 and over), super veterans (65 and over), ladies, juniors (under 20) and national teams.

Local shooters to participate include Rob Shawyer, who performed well at the FI-TASC World Championships at Warrnam-bool last year, and Tony Trevorrow.

Also Brisbane’s Damien Birgan, title winner in 2003, 2005, 2009 and the fi rst Australian to win the World FITASC title, will reportedly appear.

Surprisingly however, Birgan will not be in the teams event at Renmark, surely an indication of the strength of Australian shooting when a world champion and, over Easter, winner of the South Pacifi c Grand Prix in Geelong, cannot make the squad.

On the other hand, Bacchus Marsh shooter John Younger, a multiple winner of major FITASC and world competitions, will be in the Riverland and will be part of the team shoot.

Local offi cials anticipate the FITASC event will attract a large number of people to our region and they are working hard to promote and showcase the Riverland to visitors.

Their range provides excellent viewing and the event will be fully catered.

Desperate Housewives8.30pm, WIN SAThe plot takes a turn for the worst when a plane crashes in Wysteria Lane.

What next? A UFO abducts one of Gabrielle Solis’ chubby children?

Anyway, it’s the start of a new season, so here’s hoping things steady themselves out a bit before the writers go completely bananas.

Australia’s Got Talent7.30pm, WIN SAAnother series awaits, altough I’ve already forgotten who won last series.

Seriously, this show is about as memorable as Aaron Keating’s AFL career. Don’t remember him? That’s exactly my point.

Kyle Sandilands joins the judging panel along with Dannii Minogue and some other bloke. It could be Aaron Keating!

Win a Date with Tad Hamilton7.30pm, WIN 9Movie based on relative unknown Rosalee, who wins a date with Hollywood heart-throb Tad Hamilton.

Eventually she has to choose between Tad and her best friend Pete, who has always had a crush on her.

Pete’s last name is Monash, so there’s a local connection. Other than that, probably best to avoid it at all costs.

Underbelly: The Golden Mile8.30pm, WIN 9I’ve been waiting months for this to get under way.

The series follows the crims, cops and denizens of Sydney’s Golden Mile, in their bloody battle to be ‘King of the Cross’ in the period 1988-99.

Hopefully we catch a few glimpses of the bowl and undercut. Slick hairdos.

The Bounce7.30pm, WIN SAIs this show any good?

I’ve mainly seen and heard criticisms about it but I’m yet to catch a full episode.

What I can’t work out is how Peter Helliar and Leigh Matthews work together but mind you, sandwich connoisseurs probably doubted the peanut butter and jam combination at first.

Kebab Connection11.35pm, SBS 1Is there a show that is any more ‘SBS’ than this?

Ibo, a second-generation Turkish hip-hopper, makes an ad to promote his family’s King of Kebab fast-food stand.

He’s a big hit with everyone, until his German girlfriend announces she is pregnant.

Sounds like a winning storyline.

Daredevils10.30pm, WIN SANot exactly a terrifying stunt but still a stunt all the same.

Dutch daredevil Wim Hof plans to run a full marathon 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, clad only in shorts and open sandals.

Not only will he battle the elements but also fight off hungry polar bears and angry Eskimos. Daring stuff.

■ DRY: Firass Dirani plays the infamous character of John Ibrahim in Underbelly: The Golden Mile.

Sudoku

Last week’s solution:


SIDE-SPLITTING indigenous comedian Kevin Kropinyeri will be dropping in to the Chaffey Theatre this month with his outrageous new show, The Fat and the Furious.

Get set for the ride of your life when Kevin takes to the stage, along with his scooter.

A one-man whirlwind that will have you holding your sides laughing, Kevin shares tales of growing up, marriage and the intrica-cies associated with life in

general, as well as life as an Aboriginal Australian.

Hailing from the Ngarrindjeri Nation

along the Lower Murray River, Lakes

and Coorong re-gion in South Australia, Kev-in is a proud A b o r i g i n a l

man who’s not afraid to laugh at

himself.A ‘deadly’

performer, he has honed his funny bone

through years as an observer of his mob, fam-

ily man and ‘lad about town’ in his youth.

A high-energy artist, Kevin uses the stage to capac-ity with skits and a master-ful command of his body as a prop.

Kevin isn’t afraid to tackle issues such as weight, prison mug shots or the power of the dance-off.

Despite a relatively short career on the stage (his fi rst time in the spotlight was March 10, 2008), Kevin is in demand as an MC and performer and is making a living from his mouth – as well as being an established artist.

He will be performing at the Chaffey Theatre on April 23 from 8pm.

■ COMEDY: Stand-up comedian Kevin Kropinyeri will deliver his new show The Fat and the Furious at the Chaffey Theatre this month.

ALL SUITED UPALL SUITED UPRiverlanders set to compete against the state’s best triathletes

By LES PEARSON

THE early signs are that this year’s Loxton triathlon will attract a huge fi eld this weekend.

Event co-ordinator Mark Moore said registrations for the event are the highest they have ever been at the same stage in previous years.

Mr Moore also expects a huge infl ux of late entries as race day nears.

“In other years we’ve doubled

our entry numbers in the last two days before the event,” he said.

He added the introduction of online registrations has been a roar-ing success.

“We’ve received at least six or seven times more online registra-tions than physical entries handed in to me.”

After claiming the school State Triathlon Championship recently, Loxton High School will have sev-eral students competing.

Amongst the best hopes in their age groups are Ian Worsfold, Ellie Garrard and Jacob Otter.

They will also be among the benefi ciaries of the 20 brand new triathlon suits donated to the school from funds raised by the event.

Mr Moore said the suits not only make the event look more professional but can help students perform to the best of their ability.

“They seem to have already made a bit of an impression on the

students,” he said.Loxton High School physical

education teacher Rick Garrard said the suits gave the school’s competi-tors an air of expertise with offi cial colours and Loxton branding.

“It’s also a terrifi c promotion of the town and a celebration of what is the result of one of Mark’s initial ideas and ongoing commitment,” he said.

Transponder timing will also be introduced to this year’s event, giv-

ing competitors split times between legs.

In the main race, the elite wom-en will be given a 5.47 minute head start on the elite men, the fi rst com-petitor over the fi nish line claiming an extra $250 on top of their cat-egory prize.

“It just adds some incentive for all the athletes,” Mr Moore said.
