Prince George can trace his ancestors to Charlton through his
mother, the Duchess of Cambridge.
Little Prince George may not have visited us here in Charlton but he
could trace a family connection all the way to us.
It seems that he has more in common with the average Aussie than
we thought. Thanks to his grandmother Carole Middleton he can
trace his roots to a 19th Century farm labourer from Kent, in
England’s southeast who on 2nd January 1840 was found guilty of
stealing three lambs to feed his starving family and handed the
obligatory sentence: transportation to Van Diemen’s Land.
The third in line to the throne’s ties are the result of a human drama
that in microcosm tells the story of the forging of Australia itself.
After the 101 day journey on the prison ship Asia, farm labourer
Samuel Hickmott started his new life in the young nation breaking
rocks on a chain gang. It would take him 10 years to win his
freedom.
From the penal island Samuel sailed to South Australia where he
met up with one of his four sons. Henry who with his young bride
Sophia Goldsmith had come out on the migrant ship Emily arriving
in Botany Bay on September 9th 1850. To start their new life they
made the arduous trip across the vast continent to the colony of
South Australia. Henry and Sophia, a tall dark and willowy woman,
the great-great-great aunt of Carole Middleton were to have three
children (Eliza, Emma and Henry Edward) before Sophia died in
fifth year of their marriage.
Samuel worked as a labourer and Henry sweated it out in the
brickworks in Mt Barker. When the Australian Gold Rush began
Samuel and Henry together with Henry Edward travelled the 300
miles southwest overland to Clunes where father and son worked all
hours as miners, labourers and brickmakers until Samuels’s death.
Henry and Henry Edward moved to Charlton and Henry Edward
married Elizabeth Ann Owen of Kingower on 24th April 1877. At
Charlton they eventually bought a farm and established a brick
making business and Henry Edward would go on to become a
successful building and roads contractor. Henry Edward and
Elizabeth sold this Charlton farm (10 of their 12 children were born
in Charlton) and he and his family moved to Lalbert where they
lived for the next eighteen years. In 1909 Henry and Elizabeth sold
their land at Lalbert and sailed to Western Australia where they
purchased a farm at Pingelly. (Three of their grown-up children -
William Henry, John Edward and Edith Olive - declined to go with
their family and stayed in Victoria). Henry Edward was elected as
the Member for Pingelly in the Western Australian Parliament on
21st October 1914 and held the seat for 9 years. Elizabeth died
during a visit to Ouyen in 1923. On Sunday 18 January 1931, Henry
Edward was killed when he was thrown from a cart on their property
at Pingelly WA.
The three siblings – Eliza, Emma and Henry Edward were Prince
George’s first cousins, five times removed and although the lineage
is “watered down” the 12 children and their numerous descendants
have a right to claim kinship with the future king.

The ninety-ninth commemoration of the ANZAC landings at
Gallipoli saw a continued tradition of strong communal support in
Charlton last Friday as all ages joined to mark the occasion which
serves as one of Australia’s most revered days.
From guest speaker Captain Steve Ellis to the many school
representatives, the generational recognition of Australian
involvement in global conflicts – past and present – continues to grow
as was evidenced by the ever increasing attendance at this year’s
event.
With a vastly increased number of wreaths and bouquets adorning the
plinth of the Charlton monument, flowers were laid in memory of
relatives, and friends – both local and from further afield – who
served in campaigns abroad or were on active service at home.
There can be no greater poignancy than knowing that many of the
First World War enlistments were the same age as the school captains
who laid wreaths and read the 23 Psalm at the Anzac ceremony.
An important addition to this year’s march was the inclusion of local
representatives of the Red Cross, which marks its centenary in 2014.
Established following the outbreak of the Great War in August 1914,
the Red Cross is looking towards celebrating its rich history
throughout this centenary year.
Accompanied by the martial sounds of the Charlton / Wycheproof
Band the parade – comprising R.S.L. members, school students, and
those who honoured family members - then marched in formation
from the monument to the Shire Hall to the applause from the large
crowd which lined both sides of the road.
Over the past sixteen years the Charlton R.S.L. Sub Branch has been
fortunate to enjoy guest speakers supplied by Puckapunyal, and 2014
was no different with Captain Steve Ellis presenting the Anzac Day
address.
Captain Ellis began his speech by noting the challenges experienced
by two World War 1 soldiers as taken from a shared diary which
recorded their involvement at the Gallipoli landing. “These men did
not receive awards for their amazing acts of bravery, though to me
they are heroes” said Captain Ellis.
“We can these men’s contributions by trying to live in the manner
they would have expected from us.”
Captain Ellis also gave recognition to all those who fell in conflicts
from the Boer War through to East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan.
“The men and women who forged the ANZAC spirit made sure that
those who led them earned their respect. They all understood the
values of independence, freedom and fairness and – above all –
possessed a willingness to defend these things if need be – because
freedom only survives as long as people are willing to defend it.”
Councilor David Pollard also drew on the qualities synonymous with
the Australian ethos in battle – referring to the four granite pillars at
Isurava on the Kokoda Track emblazoned with the words –
Endurance, Courage, Mateship and Sacrifice.
Music from the Charlton / Wycheproof Band, the Charlton Choir, led
by Gill Gretgrix and a short piece of reflective music, plus the
inclusion of the Australian and New Zealand national anthems were
also a part of the formal ceremony.
President of the Charlton R.S.L. Sub Branch, Mr. Ken Jones also paid
a special tribute to the two remaining active World War II veterans
who marched in last Friday’s parade – 90 year old Mr. Ian Elder and
89 year old Mr. Ian Cameron. The remaining World War II veterans -
Mr. Vic Arundell, Mr. Fred Peverill and Mr. Frank Mulquiny – while
still financial members, are no longer active within the Sub Branch.
The morning concluded with music from the Band before the crowd
adjourned to the Club room for refreshments and a chance to peruse
the extensive memorabilia collection in the R.S.L. archives.
Charlton R.S.L. Sub Branch members, along with the Charlton community assemble in front of the memorial before the service.
Pictured before the march are (l-r) Ian Pierce of Jeffcott, Judy Bird and
Gordon Risk.

The April meeting of the Country Women’s Association Branch in Charlton
(Cabbaritta) once again was productive, and complimented by fun and fellowship
generated by the competition theme for the night.
Our craft Leader Janet Stafford is working hard to coordinate all the entries we will be
contributing to the East Wimmera Group Craft Exhibition which will be held in Marnoo
on 9 – 10 May. Such an event highlights our members have many and diverse talents
and skills found in in what the CWA now calls “creative arts”.
Our competition for the night was a Wedding Memento. What a popular topic!
Everyone had lots of recollections about their weddings. A number of the weddings
occurred more than 45 years ago and the local Charlton weddings were quite a delve
into history. The weddings ranged from a full service in Latin to an outdoor service by
a celebrant. The outfits were amazing. Our President Eily brought her wedding dress, a
bridesmaid dress and parasol and her going away outfit. This generated a lot of
reminiscences about what had happened to other members wedding outfits. One
wedding dress had been cut up to make christening robes for the subsequent children.
The attached photo illustrates the diversity of mementos – a glomesh purse to accompany the going away outfit, an artificial floral head piece
as the wedding occurred at Easter and there were no fresh flowers available, two photographs of brides (I will let the readers guess who they
are), a cotton high waisted “hippy style” wedding dress, a short veil and headpiece to balance a long train on the wedding dress, a silver plate a
wedding present, wedding photo albums and a handmade felted wrap for an outdoor wedding.
On 19 May our next meeting reverts to the daytime slot. We will be celebrating the Cabbaritta branch birthday with a picnic lunch after
visiting John Picoli (the Spanner Man) at Barraport.

Some players and committee from the Charlton Football Club were
involved with the Appeal for the Royal Childrens Hospital which the
Maternal & Child Health Centre/Playgroup organise each year prior
to Easter.
This group has, in recent years, been relying on fewer members and
others in the community to conduct the run. Hayley Soulsby, one of
the organisers, was happy to have several players and committeemen
take part in the Appeal with the girls from the Centre.
Acknowledgments to Chris Livingston (volunteer runner), Craig
Walsh and Chris Thompson (Fire Truck drivers), who volunteer their
time each year for both Appeal nights; and to Leanne Gretgrix and the
playgroup Mum’s for selling raffle tickets. Altogether , a great
community effort for a worthy cause.
On Tues 15th and Weds 16th, runners followed the Fire-brigade
vehicles around the town in order to door knock for donations for the
Good Friday Appeal. Pictured just prior to beginning the run are
players Aaron Walklate, Ben Eckersley, Rhys Thompson & Kris
Clifford.
All were very willing participants along with committee members that
night and the one before.
The people of Charlton were generous with their donations, and even
though many were absent, those who were able to, donated a total of
$2583.85. Together with collection tins throughout the year at local
businesses, and an Easter raffle, Charlton raised a total of $5613.48.
Well done Charlton!
Note: Congratulations to the Easter raffle winners. Kathy Rogan
won the large Easter rabbit, and Stewart James won the Chocolate
hamper.
Loddon Mallee residents reported 119 scams to Consumer Affairs
Victoria last year, with the highest number of reports coming from
the Greater Bendigo area.
Australians lost more than $93 million to scams in 2012 - but the real
figure is likely to be much higher, because so many scams are not
reported.
People living across the Loddon Mallee can get handy tips to avoid
common scams by watching a fun, informative series of short videos
called Stevie’s Scam School, developed by Consumer Affairs
Victoria.
The free series is available online and features Stevie, an animated
‘reformed scammer’. He explains romance, lottery, online selling,
rebate, rental and investment scams.
Anybody can fall for a scam, but there are certain things you can do
to protect yourself:
Don’t give your financial details to
anyone you don’t know or trust.
Don’t respond to unsolicited emails,
texts or phone calls requesting
personal information.
Be aware that banks and other
legitimate companies will never ask
for your personal details by email.
Do not provide an up-front payment to a stranger via money order or
wire transfer.

North Central Financial Services Ltd company secretary, John
Harley has announced that there are still some shares available in
the Community Bank. Over recent years the bank has declared
dividends of 7c per share and in 2013 5c per share that was fully
franked. When franking is factored in, this is a return of over 7%
per share.
If there are an potential shareholders interested they should contact
the company secretary on 0427 701379.
NEW WAY OF BUYING SHARES IN THE FUTURE
NCFS Ltd will shortly introduce the Low Volume Method of
trading its shares.
All companies have shares issued in them. These shares are able to
be traded, i.e. bought and sold by share traders, owners or any
interested parties at some stage in the life of the company.
The Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Community Bank® companies are
no different.
Shares are issued in the company and are able to be bought and sold
i.e. traded, subject to the share ownership restrictions in the
company’s constitution.
A Low Volume Market is an unlicensed financial market approved
and regulated by the Corporations Law (Low Volume Financial
Markets) Exemption Notice 2003. ASIC (Australian Security and
Investment Commission) is responsible for administering the Low
Volume Market exemption notice.
Characteristics that make a market in Community Bank® company
shares unique are:
* One shareholder, one vote constitutions.
* Shareholder limit of 10% of issued capital for individuals and
related entities.
* 20% capping of available profits for return to shareholders via
dividend.
* Investors must posses a ‘close connection’ with the community
serviced by the company*.
* The number of shareholders in the Community Bank® company
must meet the minimum requirement for the company (Base
Number Restriction)*
There are many advantages to both the Community Bank®
Company and the investors in a Low Volume Market structure for
trading shares.
Advantages to the investor:
* A more transparent process for investors trading in the market
than an informal ‘notice board’ system
* Shareholders have access to trade history and price
details of previous trades. This can help investors when determining
a share price for trading.
* Lower costs to shareholders trading in the market.
Professional brokers are not required to perform trades on the
market. However, investors may incur a cost if they wish to seek
independent legal or financial advice.
Advantages to the Community Bank® company:
* Reduced regulatory reporting obligations than those required
through a stock exchange which means fewer reports to be
submitted to regulatory authorities.
* Minimal cost to maintain which means that the Community
Bank® company is not spending large amounts of funds operating
the market.
* The market framework is provided by the Corporations (Low
Volume Financial Markets) Exemption Notice 2003.
* The company has the protection of the Community Bank® model.
A company listed on a stock exchange is not permitted to have Base
Number provisions.
Further details will be provided in the future but in the meantime if
you want to buy shares in this successful community company
please contact the company secretary.

Boston Curry was guest speaker at the Charlton Action for World
development’s AGM meeting on Monday April 28 at The East
Charlton Hotel.
The idea for the journey began when Boston was helping his dad
Steve built a mud brick wall. They decided they’d cycle from
Sydney to Cairns, a distance of about 2,500 kilometres.
They knew it would be an enriching experience but when Boston’s
mum Ben left them at Sydney to head home reality hit them! With
the support team gone the journey suddenly took on an uphill
character and they began to question their motives. Why did we
decide to do this?
But they soon settled into a routine, riding in the relatively cool of
the early morning and seeking the air-conditioned comfort of a
library, or the shade of a tree, to escape the heat of midday.
On the positive side Boston said it was great to be in touch with the
elements, to feel part of the environment and not just see it as you fly
past in a car or bus or train.
He said it was a test of patience and endurance for what would take
20 to 25 minutes in a car and looked a tiny distance on the map, took
you 3 hours on a bike.
But he said the best thing about it for him was the chance to spend
time with his dad. They agreed that it was not just a physical
journey they were embarking on. It was a spiritual journey – a
journey back to God.
Boston said they met some wonderful people on the road. The
mango man was one fellow they ran into a few times who shared
more than just fresh and juicy mangoes. Another cyclist told them
when they were discussing the best time to be riding “There’s no bad
time to go bike-riding.”
They found that when you leave your comfort zone you’re open to
all experiences, stopping to meet and greet people on the road and at
the end of a day’s ride. They were bowled over by the kindness and
hospitality of strangers.
Boston’s 85 year old grandfather joined them on the last 3 days of
the ride on his recliner bike – one where you lie back but you still
have to do the pedalling!
40 kilometres from their destination on one of Queensland’s
notorious log bridges Boston came to grief. Steve was ahead of him.
He’d managed to stay on the log but Boston said it came up so
suddenly all he could see were the gaps between the logs and that’s
what his wheel found. Over he went and his chin hit the deck!
He thought a band aid would fix it but after fainting three times at
the nearest house he needed more than a band aid and ended up at
the hospital where he was born.
Boston was an inspiring speaker and as he shared his feelings and
experiences the group were left with much to ponder.

Year 12 Chemistry student, Hayley Patullo, recently travelled to La
Trobe University at Bendigo to undertake a program called VCE
Instrumental Chemistry.
The information and experience gained from this day allowed her to
evaluate the suitability of techniques and instruments used in
chemical analyses, as required by the Unit 3 course outline. It also
gave Hayley an opportunity to use equipment unavailable at school,
as well as to interact with Chemistry students from Boort P-12
College.
A variety of commercial soft drink samples were analysed using High
Performance Liquid Chromatography to determine caffeine
concentrations. A UV-Vis. Spectrophotometer was used to determine
food dye concentrations in an unknown sample and the features of an
Atomic Absorption
Spectroscope and Gas
Chromatograph was
shown and demonstrated
to students.
The day was very
informative and provided
an excellent opportunity
to look over a tertiary
institute and consider
possibilities for future
studies.
On Wednesday 26th February Charlton College Year 7 students went
to Boort for a 2 day Orientation Camp. Their first task being to set up
our tents with the assistance of the year 10 class. They found that
some were more proficient at it than others!! The year 10 students
then had a variety of team building activities for them to undertake.
The activities involved water, brain power and strength. Those
groups that worked together definitely found it easier to succeed.
They had some time to themselves during the evening. During this
time they fished, went on the jumping pillow, swam, lazed around
and went for a walk. The grassy banks of the lake were truly
appreciated.
The wind got up a little later in the night and some tents required a
little maintenance (better pegging!!) Emily and Sharlie’s tent
definitely benefited from this.
It was an early awakening the next morning when someone’s music
began at 5.15am!! Luckily all seemed to be able to get back to sleep.
For those willing to challenge themselves, the morning began with a
brisk jog – Claudia’s pacing being much faster than Mr McIntyre’s!!
On return all the troups underwent a fitness circuit and a variety of
energy zapping games. Thankfully a scrumptious egg and bacon
breakfast was waiting when they finished. Some decided to take their
tent down, and then ‘pretended’ to be incapable of fitting it in the
bag, hey Charlie, Ziah and Tyson!
Never fear though Xanthe and
Lara were out to prove themselves
highly capable! Sucked in girls!
The VET Sport and Recreation
students arrived shortly after this
and they provided the Year 7’s
with a variety of games requiring
cooperation. This group were great
motivators.
The Sport and Recreation student
assisted them to take their tents
down before they returned to
school.

Whitley College recently launched the James Rapley Memorial
Scholarship. It is for students from a rural background who are
studying Engineering or Science at the University of
Melbourne. James Rapley was a former resident of Whitley College
who was tragically killed in Los Angeles in December 2013. His
family wanted to honour their son and felt that the establishment of a
Scholarship, to assist with tertiary education tuition and
accommodation fees, was a good way to do so. They have seen that
transitioning from Secondary School to University, whilst at the
same time moving from a rural environment to the city, is a
mammoth step without, at the same time, having to find part-time
employment to pay for living expenses.
In accepting his award, Mathew expressed his sincere gratitude to
James’ family, and added that, like their son, he also hopes to
complete a Masters’ degree in Electrical Engineering after his
Bachelor of Science.
Charlton College is proud of, and commends Mathew, on this well-
deserved award.

Mat is congratulated

of James, whose
memory is honoured

On Saturday 29 March I attended the Case Competition at the
University of Melbourne, the first event of Kwong Lee Dow Young
Scholars program held this year. Over three hundred students
travelled from Melbourne, regional Victoria and also interstate.
There were eight cases covering different disciplines including
Commerce, Health, Science, Law, Humanities, Food Science,
Architecture and Urban Planning, and Engineering. The Topics
ranged from 'who owns the past?’ Museums, Antiquities, Looting
and Restitution' to 'Public Health: Planning for a future influenza
pandemic'.
We were allocated to the Food Science case: 'Understanding the
science of food, eating, flavour and health', and worked in randomly
selected groups of 5 or 6, with facilitator Dr Anneline Padayachee.
The case was about a new food company 'Goodness Wrapped Up'
trying to break into the gourmet ready-to-eat meal market with pre-
packaged vegetables, targeting professional people in mid-20s and
30s who wish to experience the fine dining experience at home. Our
task was to determine the vegetables, packaging, and methods of
promotion under a budget of $20 000, within a time frame of 3
hours. Our group identified the issues as public health (obesity),
competition with existing
well-known brands, and
impact on the environment.
We had a pizza lunch while
working on the case,
and were allowed 1 hour of
computer lab access to
prepare for the 8 min.
PowerPoint presentation.
Some good ideas were
developed within our group,
including
bio-degradable packaging, ads by Jamie Oliver, menu and nutrition
booklets inside the package, transportation of local produce and co-
operation with Tupperware. However every other team had come up
with brilliant solutions as well, some even used groceries as props,
and we met a few very talented public speakers. I realized that
putting theory into practice is important and found the SWOT
(strength weakness opportunity threat analysis) especially useful
when dealing with an issue. It was quite an academic experience and
a great learning opportunity!

Nine Year 9 students and 2 staff from Charlton
College travelled to Anglesea on Monday 24th of
March – Thursday 27th of March, 2014. On surf
camp we went to the beach every day and we
learnt how to surf by practising the pop up meth-
od, the starting method and some tricks we could
do when we were confident enough. On the sec-
ond day we did the initiative course which was
down at the river. The first challenge we had to do
was find our way to the first checkpoint and try to
collect a container that was on a pole in the mid-
dle of the river. At first we had no idea what to do
but the instructor showed us a method using the
rope and the piece of bungie cord. Next we had to
fill up a pole with water which had little holes in
it. We got saturated but we quickly got the next
checkpoint which was hidden on the floating ball
in the pipe. My favourite part of the initiative
course was making the raft. We made the raft out
of tin drums, rope and tarp. We then had to row
the raft all of the way back to where we started.
On Wednesday we went surfing and we went to
Torquay to the surfing museum and to go shop-
ping. I also liked going to Bells beach. The sand
was surprising rocky and the surf was huge! On
the last day we didn’t go surfing but we did a surf
carnival. We played flags and we learnt how to
body surf. I really enjoyed looking in the rock
pools because we found about four starfish. I
stood up a few times on the surfboard and I was
happy to say that we nearly all did. I did find surf-
ing hard and I swallowed a lot of water. It was
also very tiring on Tuesday and Wednesday be-
cause the waves were really big. This camp was
fun and exciting and I do encourage the year nines
for next year to go because it was a lot of fun and
it was a great experience. Thankyou to Miss Har-
dy and Damo for taking us on the camp

Charlton Rotary Club has again supported Charlton College by assisting three
students in undertaking a 3 day ‘Science Experience’ at a tertiary institute of
their choice. Earlier this year Lily Gao and Justin Olive spent time at RMIT and
Melina Jablonka went to the Clayton campus of Monash University. All three
recently attended a Rotary club meeting where they spoke to members about
their time spent at the two Universities. The students related in some detail the
broad range of activities undertaken and their enthusiasm for the experience was
clearly evident. Lily, Melina, and Justin enjoyed the opportunity to mix with
students from a wide range of schools and felt it was a great introduction to life
at a University. Charlton College is very grateful to our local Rotary Club for its
ongoing support of this scheme and, its worth was certainly highlighted in the
feedback provided by this year’s participants. Justin Olive, Lily Gao, Melina Jablonka and Elizabeth Whykes

Bereavement Thank You
On March 24th 2014 at the Greenslopes Private Hospital
Brisbane, Tess Lloyd, aged 29 lost her 4 year battle with
brain cancer. Tess was the much loved granddaughter of
Dawn and George Parish, darling daughter to Jenny Parish Lloyd and
Colin Lloyd, adored sister to April and Mia Lloyd, partner to Adam
Leigh and devoted mother to 5 year old Livi. She was also much
loved by her aunts and uncles, her cousins and friends. The Parish family and in particular Dawn and George would like to
say a most heartfelt thanks to the Charlton community for their cards,
flowers, food and messages of love and sympathy. In particular a
huge thank you to those who have donated money to the Cure Brain
Cancer foundation which is dedicated to researching treatment
and finding a cure for brain cancer. Brain cancer kills more children
than any other cancer. It is also the leading cause of cancer death in
adults aged under 40 in Australia. Yet very little is known about brain
cancer, its causes or how to treat it. Unfortunately and perplexingly
brain cancer research receives
very little federal
government funding so there a
great reliance on fundraising in
the community to
support research to find a cure. A
continued commitment to raising
money for this insidious disease
is something that the Parish
family will maintain in Tess's memory.
To donate in Tess's memory and to learn more go to https://
www.curebraincancer.org.au/ and click on the Donate button.
Jenny has asked us to pass on her grateful thanks to you all for your
comforting messages. She intends to send a personal message via the
Charlton newsletter from her immediate family when she is able. Tess was a beautiful young woman who leaves us with many special
and loving memories. We are grateful for the times we had with her
and again thank you for your kindness and comfort.

Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust, in conjunction with the RSL, have
created a decorative kit which includes 2 small highly glazed white
porcelain tiles with a striking red Flanders poppy printed on the raised
surface. The self-adhesive poppy tile may be fixed to a headstone or
cremation niche. The second tile from the kit may be fixed to a home
letterbox or gatepost to signify that this family have links to the First
World War. The kit retails for around $10.
War Graves.
The Trust also has information regarding the role of the Office of
Australian War Graves in commemorating the unmarked graves of
war veterans.
Plaque Refurbishment.
The Charlton Cemetery Trust can make arrangements to have badly
weathered brass plaques in the lawn section refurbished.

Hi again as we smell the smoke of burning wood fires, and start to
retreat from the cold and wind we celebrated the 90th birthday of our
friend and member Ian Elder. We also welcome Elaine Donaldson as
our Program Officer.
The April meeting saw an attendance of forty six with twenty one
apologies some perhaps migrate north for a while to stay warm I
suspect, sounds like a good idea. Our morning was bright and
cheerful with catch up over a cuppa. We welcomed a very interesting
Guest speaker Annette Robertson from Wedderburn who has a
fascinating past working for quite a time as a Nurse in Outback
Western Australia. She spoke of her earlier Nursing life, of being in
the Blackstone Community and areas outside of Alice Springs, at
times as a sole practicing nurse with her catchment covering
hundreds of miles/ kilometres an area she said was the size of
Tasmania. There was a need to be, quoting the often used term (multi
skilled) which was to prove and understatement.
She had to learn the languages at least in part of the Aboriginal
groups with whom she worked, the cultural do’s and don’ts, the
overall survival skill needed to simply live in the outback isolation
and of course to be able to drive and maintain a 4wheel drive vehicle
as well as learn to run the radio system. There was the task of
attending to a varying numbers of patients with a large diversity of
issues often including organising the Royal Flying Doctor for
emergencies and the daily tasks which included co-ordinating
supplies coming from great distance. She spoke of witchety grubs,
and rabbits as part of the menu, and the shortage of fresh fruit and
vegetables, with canned food seen as inappropriate as it creates
rubbish and can openers were in scarce supply. Annette said that she
cannot stand the smell of rabbit cooking to this very day. Other tasks
included operating generators and issues with time zones as her area
was near the border, this contributed to further logistical problems
relating to arrival times of planes for mail, food and any other
supplies. All this was done in isolation from fellow health
professionals for much of the time, except for the use of outback radio
communication which was a life saving necessity a very interesting
presentation our thanks to Annette.

#10 They only go about 20 kilometres before they overheat,
breakdown or run out of fuel.
#9 Only the owner knows how to operate the door to get in or out.
#8 It is difficult to drive fast with all the fencing tools, greasy rags,
ropes, chains, syringes, buckets, boots, nuts and bolts, containers,
empty cans and loose papers in the cab and around your feet.
#7 It takes too long to start the thing, and the smoke coming up
through the rusted-out floor clouds your vision.
#6 The Border Collie / Kelpie on the toolbox looks pretty mean.
#5 They're too easy to spot. The description might go something like
this: The driver's side door is red, the passenger side door is green, the
right front fender is yellow and the owners name is painted across the
door etc.
#4 The large round bale in the back makes it hard to see if you're
being chased. You could use the mirrors if they weren't cracked and
covered with duct tape and spiders webs.
#3 Top speed is approximately 60 Km per hour.
#2 Who wants to steal a truck that needs a year's worth of
maintenance, u- joints, $3,000 in body work, tail-lights, new
windshield and the seat springs sticking into your backside?
#1 It is hard to commit a crime and then slip away with everyone
waving at you

The members have set up the Centenary window display in North
Central Panel beaters and it looks great. There is interesting histo-
ry of the Branch since it's inception in 1915.
Thank you to all who have gathered display items. There is a Red
Cross hosted Market in Swan Hill on World Red Cross day May
8th. from 10.00 AM at the Clock Tower if anyone is interested in
going along.
We are also sewing up and stuffing a number of unfinished Trau-
ma Teddies from Melbourne and there will be a working bee at
the next meeting, May 13th. at the Uniting Church Fellowship
room.
The members also proudly joined the Anzac day march this year
A big thank you to the community for their generosity during the
March Appeal. A total of $ 1800.00 was collected and we are
most grateful to you all.
A big thank you also to the members of the OASIS group and
their helpers who did the "foot slugging" to collect these most
needed funds for those less fortunate folk who are supported by
the many Red Cross programs. .
As there was only one person attended the April morning.
we will need to discuss the future and/or relevance of
continuing.
Please think about this if you are interested in keeping the
Community kitchen going. Next meeting May 19th. 10 AM-
12 Midday.
