If you are unable to attend the performances on the festival weekend on 10 and 11 October, there will be a ‘sneak peak’ performance on Sunday 4 October at 2.00pm at the Dunolly Town hall. Cost is $25.00, children free. The above photos of the performers were taken by Elaine Tso at a recent dress rehearsal .

THIEVES STOOP TO NEW LOW

The Salvation Army Op Shop in Maryborough was broken into on Monday night and thieves removed a safe from the op shop office. The safe was believed to have contained a substantial amount of cash and the keys to a Salvation Army vehicle used to deliver goods to the needy. The vehicle is also used to pick up items donated to the organisation which are then sold in the shop. This is not the first time the Salvo's Op Shop in Maryborough has been targeted by criminals and may lead to the installation of security cameras both inside and outside the premises. This latest break-in follows another in Maryborough over the weekend being investigated by local police.

ROSIE’S RAMBLE

I think I’ve worked out why that silly man in the ad is watering his head, perhaps he thinks some water might get through his ears and cause his brain to grow! Sunday was such a lovely day that the Rambles decided to go for a drive to Kangaroo Flat, any excuse to avoid the weeding. Got a familiar big grin and wave from Jeff in Tarnagulla. A bit further up the road we noticed a lot of aluminium drink cans in a row on the side of the road. “Pigs! Take your rubbish home with you.” Then for the next couple of KM up to the Llanelly turn off there were hundreds of cans along the same side of the road, all neatly arranged about the same distance from the edge of the bitumen. What was going on!! The only thing I could think of, it was too neat to be random, was that one of those trailers that are used to collect drink cans from sporting events had “sprung a leak” after joining the main road? This was about 11.00am. On the way home about 4.00pm, I was keeping an eye out for them again. Another mystery! Most of them had vanished! I can only suppose that the trailer arrived at the depot minus most of its load, causing a certain amount of panic and a retracing of the route. I wonder how many people and how long it took to do such a great clean up. You never know what you are going to see. Hope everyone enjoys their Grand Final Eve public holiday. What a ratty idea! Talk about bread and circuses. Recipe of the week—Rabbit paste. Cut two rabbits into joints, put them in a basin and cover, add ½ kilo of bacon and 250gr. butter. Steam for 4 hours until meat leaves bones. Put through mincer twice; add juice and 3 tbs. of anchovy sauce. Reheat, but do not boil. Place in jars.

A WELCOME FIRST STEP Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence and Minister for Women Fiona Richardson has welcomed the Turnbull Government’s commitment to addressing family violence and gender inequality - the key driver of violence against women. The package of measures is aimed at women’s safety and reducing negative attitudes that lead to violence against women. This is a welcome first step by the Commonwealth Government in addressing this national shame. The Andrews Labor Government has been a leader in addressing family violence and gender inequality through the establishment of Australia’s first Royal Commission into Family Violence and the appointment of the first Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence. “With 63 women already having lost their lives in Australia so far this year to violence, it is clear we have a national emergency on our hands,” Fiona Richardson said. The Labor Government has also announced it will introduce Prep to Year 10 respectful relationships education into the Victorian curriculum from next year and given a commitment that between now and November 2018, at least 50 per cent of all future appointments to paid government boards and Victorian courts will be women. The Victorian Labor Government looks forward to working with the Turnbull Government to address gender inequality and the family violence crisis.

ROCK’N’ROLL DANCE POSTPONED The above dance will now be held on Saturday 24 October. Unfortunately the committee did not realise that the Grand Final was being held next Saturday and also that it is a long weekend. Our live band is Seriously Sixties and will be performing on 24 October. Don’t forget the night is being held to raise money for the kids of Dunolly’s Santa Show on 19 December. We apologise for any inconvenience this postponement may have caused. Santa Committee

Thieves also made off with thousands of dollars worth of power tools from Leechs Power Equipment in Maryborough. The stolen items include seven Stihl chain saws, a petrol blower and vacuum and a hedge trimmer. CCT footage is being examined and police are looking for two male offenders. The thieves gained entry by smashing the glass panel at the front of the shop, early Sunday morning. The goods were then placed in a white Toyota ute which was backed up to the front door. Anyone with information about either burglary should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Excerpts from Maryborough Advertiser

Continued from front page ...

DUNOLLY/TARNAGULLA LIONS CLUB Moves are in place to create a Dunolly/Tarnagulla Lions Club. Murray Boud and Katinka Hilda are monitoring proceeding by conducting public meetings. I was a member at Bruthen Lions Club from 1991 to 1995 and again from 2001 to 2008 as was Geoffrey Deppeler. During that time I held the positions of President and Secretary. Service Clubs are the mainstay of country communities; they form a gap between S.E.S. and CFA. The Lions Club motto “We serve” encompasses many community aspects, helping the elderly, the infirm, the handicapped and the disadvantaged. Providing comfort and support in time of distress. Through catering at events we raised money which was returned to the community, the local hospital, special scholarships etc. To use an example as we have the bike ride coming to Dunolly, in Bruthen the Lions held a twilight market, provided a gourmet barbeque for the leading organizers in the Main Street gardens and manned a post halfway down the mountain from Omeo with cold drinks. I remember my years in the Bruthen Lions Club very fondly from the satisfaction and companionship it gave. We worked hard and made it very social. We believed that the club that played together stayed together. In my presidential year, I attended a Lions Club conference in WonthaggI where the lecturers stressed keeping the fun in your club, otherwise you lose members. I hope there is enough interest to create a Lions Club for the benefit of both Dunolly and Tarnagulla and to hope if this comes to fruition, that the work is shared equally between the two communities. I will end with a quote from the Lions Code of Ethics: Always bear in mind my obligation as a citizen to my Nation, my State and my Community and give them the unswerving loyalty in word, act and deed. To give them freely of my time, labour and means. Jeff Monk

HISTORIC MACHINERY AT DUNOLLY The Central Goldfields Historic Machinery Society’s annual engine and tractor rally is back on this weekend. The two-day event is back for another year and will feature a myriad of historical engines, tractors, cars, trucks, working horses, plus much more.

The rally, which will be held at the Dunolly Racecourse, kicks off at 10.00am on Saturday and Sunday and will continue until 4.00pm on both days.

“It’s looking very good,” historic machinery society vice president, Peter Davies, said of the weekend.

“If the weather is fine, we should have a good couple of days. We’ve got plenty of engines, tractors, a few cars and probably a few trucks. We’ve got some horses coming again — last year we had some horses,” he says.

“We might do some ploughing. Last year we didn’t do much because it was too dry and it mightn’t be much better this year but we’ll try a little bit.”

This year the event is expected to boast more stationary engines, Peter says.

“We have a few more stationary displays this year,” he said.

“The club owns a generator so we’ll give that a run and put it on display.”

Peter says facilities at the racecourse are continuing to improve each year.

“Every year the facilities are getting a little bit better all the time out there.”

The tractor pull will take place on the Sunday with many competitors entering.

FAYE AND ANTON'S It takes a lot of work to turn a five acre horse paddock in Alma into a garden. Of course Faye is not wanting to turn it all into a garden. Who has that much energy? But she does want a large garden. With infrastructure and other assistance from husband Anton, Faye has already achieved quite a bit, as her before photos clearly showed. One of their priorities was to get a diverse orchard going. That is now well underway and her apricots are setting quite a lot of fruit this year, so far. The ducks at the end of the orchard quacked noisily when we all came too close for their liking as we admired the enclosure with the big broad bean bush growing well inside it. Another priority for Faye is getting some shady trees established around the perimeter of the yard. Again her strategy is working well. A vegetable garden will be created soon with the aid of six sturdy metal frames which are almost ready. It is all a work in progress as Faye said, but so far the progress is excellent. When we sat on the back verandah for a cuppa the real charm of a country block became evident. The view across green horse paddocks to a neighbour's dam was really peaceful - and beautiful. Another beautiful thing was the mural which Faye is halfway through painting. Thank you for having us visit. The next Whispering Weeders meeting will be at the end of October. There will be a change of day for this meeting. It will be on SUNDAY 25 October which will allow us to visit the Maryborough Open Gardens. We will meet at the Dunolly Neighbourhood Centre at 1.00pm. Any interested gardener is welcome to join us.

Vicky Frizzell

“It varies between 40 to 60 — they’re pretty good numbers,” Peter says.

“I’d suspect we’d get at least 30 to 40 anyway.”

Up to 2000 people are expected to attend the event over the weekend.

“Sunday you might get 1500 but across the weekend you might get 1500 to 2000 perhaps,” Peter says.

“It’s always a little bit hard to tell. It has a lot to do with the weather. If you get a reasonably nice day, you’ll usually get a few regardless.”

The rally has now been going for approximately 20 years and has been hosted at a range of venues.

“We’ve been on that site (the racecourse) for about 12 years. Originally we used to use the old Maryborough drive-in.”

Catering, including lunch, will be available throughout the weekend.

VICKY’S VIEW

DOG DOCO Last week SBS had a documentary about cats which was very interesting. It showed how cats experience the world differently to humans because of their amazing senses. Immediately following the cat documentary was one about dogs which turned out to be disappointing I thought. It seemed to focus on their DNA and not on how they experienced the world. I had thought it would shed some light on dog behaviour and their interaction with humans. Much dog behaviour is learned through training, or lack of it, of course. However some of it comes out of left field. One dog we had was known to take the cue ball off the pool table and run outside with it. Usually he did that late at night when all the players had finished a few beers. They would chase him but rarely found the ball that night. So was the dog's reward the excitement of the chase or all the players wandering off home in disgust? We never found out. The same dog used to follow us down the street by running through the neighbour’s front yards and jumping all the side fences. He caught the same train as us one day at the Footscray station. He had got into a different carriage and we were unaware he was on the train until we saw him walking along the platform at South Kensington just as the train was pulling out. It was too late for us to call him or get off the train, and we thought that would be the last we would see of him. But there he was to greet us when we got home later that evening. How he found his way home so quickly we never knew. Years later we rented a house in West Footscray. The owners had moved to Deer Park and every week called in for the rent. After about three months their very cute little dog was with them, and as they went to leave I called out that the dog was not in the car. The explanation was that the little dog had run away on the first day they had moved to Deer Park and had taken all this time to find his way home, so now he was our dog. When we moved to Dunolly we brought him with us and worried he would run away from here. But he never did. He loved Dunolly and lived happily here until he was seventeen. I am sure most people have had similar experiences with their own dogs and would enjoy some sort of explanation of this type of behaviour. The documentary could have had us all interested in finding out what motivates dogs to do some of the things that intrigue us. Unfortunately it did not. Perhaps another one will .

DUNOLLY BRANCH CWA A reminder that the subs. are due at the October meeting. This year they are $59.50 plus $14.00 postage if you receive the Magazine- total of $73.50. The September meeting was well attended with the main item being final arrangements for the Car Boot Sale on Saturday 5 September. Members were to be at the church about 8.00am. The sale was a success with all the goodies being sold, except for the marshmallows, which we ate. A big thank you to all members for a great effort. The branch will be taking part in the Dunolly Town Picnic in October. Members finally collected the rest of our belongings from the RSL on Wednesday 7 September. Due to a clean-out earlier this year, it didn’t take very long. Thanks to members involved in both jobs. The plant swap at the meeting was a success with lots of bits and pieces finding new homes. Joyce Vater won the flower competition and Heather Weir was second.

Everyone who brought a swap plant was awarded a point.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMANT FUNDS Central Goldfields Shire and their partner shire Loddon are set to receive $120,000 in funding to help prepare and protect the local community for emergency events. Member for Northern Victoria, Jaclyn Symes, announced more than $1.4 million in funding to 16 councils. Funded as part of the State Government’s Municipal Emergency Resourcing Program, $4.6 million will be provided yearly to 64 councils located within Country Fire Authority (CFA) districts. Ms. Symes said Northern Victoria councils were a key partner in emergency planning and management, with extensive local knowledge and key connection to the local community. Councils can be funded individually or in groups, with support ensuring councils are able to adequately prepare for future emergency events and help their communities to become more resilient. Funding under the Municipal Emergency Resourcing Program reflects the State Government’s commitment to helping local councils strengthen their emergency management capacity and capability, particularly in rural, regional and pre-urban areas. “With a wealth of local knowledge and strong links to their communities, this funding will support local councils in my Electorate to continue their integral role in managing emergency situations,” Ms. Symes said. The State Government understands that communities in country and pre-urban areas face their own unique challenges. “This Municipal Emergency Resourcing Program is just another way we are assisting local residents in these areas,” she said.

GIVING OUR KIDS THE SUPPORT THEY DESERVE

The Labor Government has confirmed the new $82 million Regional Support Initiative as part of the Education State package that is providing $747 million in extra funds over four years to deliver great schools for every community and great teachers in every classroom. The regional initiative is in response to schools and principals telling us they needed extra help to provide the best support possible to the kids in their care. This will be provided through the establishment of 17 new local area-based teams, employing over 150 staff across the current four regions. Some dedicated regional offices were axed during the last Government with many jobs either lost or moved to Melbourne. For many regional and rural schools, their former regional office was crucial in supporting principals to do what they do best – teaching our students and leading our schools. The Coalition in some cases moved this support many hundreds of kilometres away to metropolitan Melbourne. The teams will help relieve principals and teachers from operational and administrative burdens so they

can focus on what matters most for Victoria’s students. The new local areas will also link up better with other government services in the community. The funding will be provided over four years, and $24.8 million will be provided in ongoing funding from 2019-20. It’s all part of our plan to help kids learn, give parents confidence and provide the resources that teachers need. Schools and students in our regions will also share in more than $68 million of extra equity funding in 2016. Equity funding will increase on average by $437 per student across regional Victoria, in comparison to $209 in metropolitan Melbourne. ALP Media Release

WATER LOW The dwindling water level in Maryborough’s key supply reservoir is a matter of critical concern, local councilors say. The Central Goldfields Shire Council this week confirmed it will raise its concerns surrounding the looming issue of water security for Maryborough and district at the upcoming Water Resources Stakeholder Task Group meeting. The group, which includes Central Highlands Water, council and community representatives will meet in Maryborough next month, technical services, David Sutcliffe told councilors at Tuesday night’s council meeting.

The Education State is underway with the Government setting ambitious targets to get more kids physically active. With AFL finals fever starting to grip the state, Education Minister James Merlino and State Member for Northcote Fiona Richardson last week joined AFL champion and Schools Sport Victoria Ambassador, Daisy Pearce, to talk footy and the importance of being physically active with students at Northcote High School. Ms Pearce, who last week captained the Darebin Falcons to their third consecutive Victorian Women’s Football League grand final victory, was the first number one women’s AFL draft pick and has inspired a generation of girls and young women to pursue their footballing dreams. As part of the $747 million Education State for schools package announced on 18 September, the Labor Government has set 10 new ambitions targets to drive improved student outcomes across Victorian schools over the next decade. By 2025, the Government wants to achieve a 20 per cent

increase in the proportion of kids doing physical activity five times a week. This is part of the Education State plan to better prepare our kids for work and life. The jobs of the future are in ideas and knowledge. Victoria has always relied on people and minds to create jobs. But our kids will need to be smarter, more creative and well rounded than ever before. We also want to see more students reaching the highest levels of reading, maths and science. But we also want our schools to give students the skills they need for work and life: confidence and the capacity for critical and creative thinking. Daisy Pearce stated: “I strongly encourage more girls and young women to take the opportunity to try team sports like AFL – it’s a great way to have fun, meet friends and keep fit.” The Minister for Education James Merlino said, “Sport enhances student engagement and alertness in the classroom and spending more time being active will help kids establish healthy habits for the rest of their lives.”

STRANGE FACTS Dreamt" is the only word in the English language

I started doing mosaic mirrors after I had to give up work due to ill health. At that stage I used broken pieces onto cement sheet to use in the garden. A friend in Queensland, Viv Webb, gave me tips on cutting the mirror into shapes and making designs which she had done for a gallery in Queensland. Since then I've been doing that and like most self -taught, learning from my mistakes. Viv and I still exchange techniques and handy tips. I mainly use mirror as I don't like cutting crockery. I use recycled frames as backing for indoor use, and cement sheet for garden art. I also make my own frames for unusual shapes and sizes. I've even had a request for a mirror with a possum on it to be put in a country cottage. I also make mirrored clocks; shoes and anything else that mirror will stick to. I named my mirror work HARCIA MIRRORS being made up of my late parent’s names HARold and patriCIA.

My appreciation and gratitude is extended to local businesses displaying my work; Fiona at Wright on Broadway and Deb at Debs Shop who is displaying some of the smaller items. My family and friends have been very supportive and encouraging about my mirrors, placing positive posts on my Facebook page. I create the mirrors in my home where I can work when my illness allows. I find it very relaxing and therapeutic. I won the best in show award with one of my creations in the local Dunolly Arts and Craft Show and I will be displaying and demonstrating my art work at the Great Town Picnic at the Gordon Gardens on 11 October as part of the craft displays.

NEW WASTE WATER APPOINTMENTS Labor Member for Western Victoria, Jaala Pulford, today welcomed the new make-up of the Central Highlands Water board to meet the challenges of the future. The current Chair of Central Highlands Water Jeremy Johnson continues in the role along with board member Stewart Howe. New board members include Janet Dore, Rachel Thomson, Pamela Anders, Peter Lelievre and Marcos Anastassiou. Ms Pulford said the renewal of Victoria’s water corporation boards will ensure they are best placed to deal with the challenges posed by changing rainfall patterns, climate change and rapid population growth. “The new composition of Victoria’s water corporation boards will better reflect our new approach to water management and will be instrumental in helping deliver the Andrews Labor Government’s water plan,” Ms Pulford said. “The new boards will also play an important role in helping implement the Andrews Government’s new water policy agenda which includes developing a comprehensive water plan for Victoria and listening and engaging with communities about their water needs and priorities,” she said. Ms Pulford congratulated those board members who have been appointed or re-appointed to the boards, and thanked all continuing and departing board members for their service to the water sector and the community. More than 1400 people expressed interest in joining one of Victoria’s 19 water corporation boards following the expression of interest process announced by Minister Lisa Neville in April. Eight of the 19 chairs of the new boards are filled by women who also fill over 50 per cent of the positions. “Our priorities include providing investment and security of supply for the irrigation sector, addressing the impacts of climate change, maintaining and improving the health of our rivers and environment and supporting the economic, social and recreational needs of communities across the State,” Ms Neville said. “I am delighted to announce that women now make up over half of all water corporation board members, and eight of our 19 chairs will be women – up from three previously,” Ms Neville said. A selection panel appointed by the Minister assessed the applications, interviewed short listed candidates, and recommended candidates. The selection panel was highly credentialed in water policy, governance and management and consisted of Craig Cook, Peter Wilson, Sonia Petering, Joan Liley, Eleanor Underwood and Peter Tuohey. The new appointments start on 1 October 2015 and more information is available at: www.delwp.vic.gov.au.

At the hospital board meetings it was noted that Eliza worked as hard as any of the staff. They recommended that she could stay in the hospital as she was very helpful and could repay the care and attention already bestowed upon her. Despite this it was decided to fill out the application form to have her admitted into the Deaf and Dumb Institute. The institute responded that she did not fit their criteria. Eliza remained in the hospital as a patient but was really unpaid staff. In her first year the hospital paid £5 for clothing for her, then later another £2/10/- for more clothes. They consulted a dentist Mr De Saxe. He recommended that an artificial palate would help both her mastication and articulation. He could make one in silver for £6/10/- or in gold for £12. The hospital decided they did not have funds for that and kept her on as unpaid staff. Eliza had been admitted to the hospital aged sixteen and stayed there eleven years until she married Frederick Ray. He was the cook at the hospital. Prior to the wedding the hospital allowed her another £5 for clothes. After their marriage Frederick decided they would not live at the hospital but get their own house nearby. The hospital cook was expected to live on the premises and be there whenever required. The board was not happy about the change in the situation. Of course they were also losing the free assistance of Eliza. They offered to increase Frederick’s wage from £40 per annum to £45. This minimal increase would not cover half the rent of a small cottage and he also then had to supply food for Eliza as she no longer lived or worked at the hospital. Frederick quit his job. He and Eliza moved to Moliagul where he worked as a miner. Here they had a daughter named Ethel. Frederick died in 1919. Eliza lived until 1932 when she died aged 83. They are both buried in the Moliagul Cemetery.

ELIZA BLACKER In 1851, when she was only two years old, Eliza Blacker and her parents arrived in Victoria from New Zealand. They went to the goldfields around Castlemaine. A son Joseph was born there in 1854. Life was not so fortunate for the family. The father died in 1856 followed by the mother in 1860. Joseph was sent to the training ship Nelson as a navy cadet. Eliza, who was now eleven years old, does not appear in the Children’s Ward Registers. A later newspaper article says a woman took her on as a maid servant. The name of this woman is not known. By 1862 Eliza and presumably the woman were living in Dunolly. Eliza contracted a malignant disease which destroyed her hearing and affected her speech. She went into the Dunolly district hospital for a month. A few years after she was readmitted. This time the woman did not want her back so Eliza remained in the hospital. Convalescent patients were expected to help around the hospital. Another patient at the same time, Jong Ah Siug, wrote that he washed the cart and fed the horses. He also wrote that he went for walks in the hospital grounds with the girl who did not speak. She lived on the top floor and sewed clothes. This would be Eliza Blacker.

Cordial Competition Do You Make The Best Cordial?

As part of the Dunolly Family Picnic on the G & S Festival Weekend, (10-11 Oct)

we are holding a cordial competition. There is a trade class and home-made class.

It is Citrus Season

so thumb your nose at the winter cold and make us a batch of your best cordial. Entries can be left at The Golden Grain. Entries close Friday 2 October. Please ensure all contact details are noted.

BOORT SCULPTURE BY THE LAKE Transforming scrap metal from farms into striking works of art is raising the profile of Boort as a tourist destination and feeding hope of even greater things to come. The key strategy is the gradual construction of a metal sculpture trail around Little Lake Boort, boosted by an annual competition as part of the Boort Show and regular workshops led by an accomplished metal artist. The show, planned for 10 October at Boort Park, will again host the Boort Sculpture by the Lake competition, offering a total of $4,000 in prizemoney across five categories. Sculptures can be in any form, but must be made predominantly from metal items typically found throughout rural Australia. Rod Poxon, secretary of the Boort Development Committee and a committee member of the Boort Business and Tourism Council, said both those organisations were behind the initiative. “Last year’s competition was a great success, with more than 40 entries coming from as far afield as the Mornington Peninsula,” Mr Poxon said. “Quite a few people brought their caravans and made a weekend of it, with the Boort Show on as well as an open day at the Piccolis’ Star Spanner Sculpture Garden at Barraport. “Last year’s winner was Bendigo sculptor Darren Moresi, with a huge fish creation he made out of rusty metal. The competition falls within the overall sculpture strategy for Boort, but another element is a workshop program run each September. The result of that program last year was ‘Rusty the Redfin’, a sculpture which has now been installed at Little Lake Boort near another piece of metal art in the shape of a dragonfly. This year, Darren Moresi came to lead two weekend workshops at the Boort Men’s Shed with the aim of creating a substantial piece of metal art. This time we’re making a cormorant, which will then feature at Boort Sculpture by the Lake before being permanently displayed as part of the emerging metal sculpture trail here. The latest addition to the trail is a highly impressive spanner sculpture generously donated by John Piccoli, designed to honour his Swiss roots. The artworks fit in perfectly with the walking track that runs around the lake.” The Piccolis will stage an open day at their Star Spanner Sculpture Garden, 10km from Boort, the day after the show on 11 October. “John and Sonia are now attracting more than 7000 visitors each year, which is quite remarkable considering he doesn’t advertise – he doesn’t even have signage,” Mr Poxon said. “There are a number of competitions like ours around Australia, but if we can make Boort the metal sculpture capital of Victoria, people will come from all over Australia – and the world – to see it.” Competition entries are accepted until 9 October, with winners announced at the Boort Show. Fees are $20 for adults and $10 for juniors. The Star Spanner Sculpture Garden Open Day will run from 10.00am to 2.00pm on the Sunday. Entry costs $5.00.

With the construction of a new gallery in the last three months, by Artist John Moir, it is now open to the public, showing works by John in oil, acrylic, pencil and other mediums. Later in the year a new range of copper based pieces will be available in the form of Copper Repousse. Opening times will be 10.00am to 5.00pm on most days – when the sandwich board is out the Gallery is open. John grew up in Maryborough and completed a diploma in Mechanical Engineering at the Warrnambool Technical College. John has sold many works and is known for his commissioned work, particularly in the Western District. He won his first competition at 13 years. Over the years he has drawn, sketched , produced murals, theatre backdrops, and pieces of art in a number of forms including sculpture. John first began drawing In the late 60’s, mainly in pen and some watercolour, but not too seriously. By the late 80’s he had completed many drawings in pencil, that being the flavour of the time, and had gained a commission to complete around 24 sketches for a cook book. A display of the original work for this book, resulted in many commissions to depict homesteads throughout the Western District. John also produced around 50 drawings of historic buildings and places of interest

throughout the district – from Port Fairy to the Great Ocean Road, and north to Mortlake. These drawings were used to produce a wide variety of tourist items that were very popular. Since his retirement, 20 plus years ago, John has gone back to oils, pen and water colour and now acrylics has become a favoured medium. In the last 10 years John has put together a number of personal exhibitions and was very pleased with the results; not only for sales but for the commissions they created. Works went to other states and overseas which was very pleasing. John believes that - ‘Art is the expression of your thoughts and/or a representation of what you see, that you want to put to paper, on canvas or into whatever form suits the moment.’ The Dunolly Gallery is designed for folk to call in for a look and a chat with the artist. All original works are for sale, as are the prints and the very popular writing cards. John suggests that the writing cards are a great way to promote our area. They can be specially printed to suit any occasion. Why not call in to see what is on offer. The gallery is a great addition to our town and district.
