LOCKINGTON & DISTRICT LIVING HERITAGE COMPLEX

Website: Heritage Complex Web Site

Hello Everyone!

I’ve been able to find the original article in which the Editor of the

Rochester Express outlined his thoughts about the proposed railway

line from Elmore to Tomara. It was published in the Rochester Express

on 27 Jun 1890, and reads: -

 

“The long delayed, eagerly looked for, Railway Bill is at last before the

public, and its propositions are being discussed all over the colony, with

the result that very little satisfaction is expressed either by the metropolitan

or country Press. An immense expenditure is proposed on short

lines within the metropolitan area, while several of the new country lines

are looked upon in no friendly spirit by the people for whose benefit it is

to be presumed their construction is proposed. Among the new lines

there is only one which in any degree can be said to affect the interests of

residents in this part of the colony, namely, the proposal to run a line

from Elmore to Tomara, which, we presume, is intended to serve the

requirements of the parishes of Diggorra, Diggorra West, Bamawm,

Pannoobamawm, Milloo, and Pannoomilloo, and in this proposal

we find much room for objection.

That a railway connecting the main Murray River with the Eaglehawk to

Kerang lines is desirable, and that the agriculturalists of these districts

require, and have a right to obtain, railway facilities, can not for one

moment be gainsaid; but we fail to see on what principle the main line

should be tapped at Elmore in preference to Rochester in order to

supply this want. For years Rochester has been the recognised

business centre for the residents of the parishes indicated, and a

proposal which would necessarily divert this trade to another centre

must be looked upon with disfavour in this district. And yet the fact is that a

line from Rochester to the Kerang line would serve a larger intermediate

population than that of the proposed route and Parliament should pause

before sanctioning a scheme which bears manifest proofs of having been

unskilfully and ignorantly conceived and hurriedly promulgated. As a

matter of fact, residents in the district interested inform us that the Elmore

route is already unpopular, and hope that strong influence will be exerted in

order to have the connection with Rochester adopted. It cannot be

urged that the route is chosen because of any engineering

necessities in the alternative road, because between Rochester and,

say, Mitiamo, where the branch could connect with the already constructed

line, the ground is almost as level as a bowling green, and there would not

be a bridge or embankment required throughout its entire length. So much

for what we consider a sin of commission in the measure now

before Parliament.

 

That's all for this time. There'll be more to come in the next Locky

News.

‘Bye until next time, Marg O’Brien.

20 Days to Fire Season –

Prepare, Act, Survive

As the weather warms up, CFA is urging residents to

prepare their homes for the coming fire season.

CFA Acting Manager Community Safety, Alex Caughey says the

community should be taking every opportunity to prepare homes

and properties.

“Now is the time to get prepared,” says Mr Caughey. “A lot of

people will have their Saturday and Sunday afternoons back to

themselves now the football season has ended, so get outside

and do the work.”

“It’s the perfect time to be looking at the odd jobs around homes

and taking action.”

“Check the repairs and maintenance around the house that needs

fixing, because embers from a fire will target those weak spots.”

“When you are evaluating your house, every nook and cranny

must be looked at as a potential threat.”

However while preparing your house is crucial, families must also

plan their gardens, making sure they understand the bushfire risk

in their area.

“Where are the plants and trees, which of them are most likely to

ignite during fires, how close are they to my house – those are the

types of questions people need to be asking themselves,” Mr

Caughey said.

CFA is recommending all residents prepare a Bushfire Survival

Plan and practice the plan regularly.

To assist you in developing a Bushfire Survival Plan, CFA are

conducting free information sessions throughout the North East of

Victoria. To find a session near you go to www.cfa.vic.gov.au or

contact the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667.

BLU CRICKET CLUB NEWS

The season commenced Saturday the 3rd of October with A & B Grades Bunnaloo.

A Grade was at home.

Bunnaloo won the toss and decided to bat.

We start very well with some good tight bowling from Hayden Collins

and Jake Gardiner, we took a four of early wickets which included Mick Buckley the danger man for Bunnaloo.

Before Tom Edgar & Adam Thompson put on a 76 run partnership. At the end of Bunnaloo’s 40 over they where 5 for 133 which we happy restricting Bunnaloo too.

The bowlers all did a really good job with the best being Jake Gardiner 8-0-2-30, Hayden Collins 7-1-1-34, Greg Pearse 7-0-1-24 Lachlan Collins 8-3-0-17 Josh Cairns 8-2-1-19, Ben McPhee 2-0-0-8.

Our innings start slowly with myself and Ryan McMinn being dismissed early which brought Greg Pearse and Hayden Collins to the crease.

These to look good but neither good go on with there innings with Greg

out lbw for 19 and Hayden caught for 20. We struggled for the rest of the day to build partnerships, we ended up being all out for 116 with good hitting from Steve Palling, some we have not seen a lot for, which Steve made 22,

also Lach Collins show goods signs for the future with 17 runs and playing some good shots. We were disappointed with the result in the end these are the game the club needs the win if we are to play finals.

 

The B grade Travel to Bunnaloo to play.

Bunnaloo won the toss a elected to bat.

The bowlers bowled well restricting the home side to be all out for 141.

With all bowlers contributing for the day.

The bowling figures where Justin Cantwell 6-2-0-17, Tim Hermans, 5-2-2-7,

Geoff Arnott 5-0-0-22, Shannon Bish 6-0-1-26, Jason Turner 8-0-2-25, Graham Turner 3.3-1-2-21 and Tasman Richards 4-2-2-15

Our innings never really got start losing wickets at regular intervals.

They was one stand out with Pencil (Jason Turner) making 53 before being caught. The only other player to get a start was Eric Bish with 23 there was

only 2 other players that made it to doubled figures and they where Tim Hermans and Tasman Richards who both got 11 runs each.

Round 2 is a 2 day game against Echuca South with A grade being a home again. Greg won the toss and elected to bat on a flat track. Greg told us we had to bat all day which we set out to do. It was a slow start to our

innings with myself and Paddy Gardiner being very watchful. The south bowlers where bowling very well with a bit of movement. I was run out for 4 in the 15 over then followed Tim Hermans lbw the next over. This brought

Greg to the crease which he set about building a good total. At Tea where 4 for 97 in a reasonable position with Greg still at the crease with Brodie Collins, Paddy had being dismissed for 32 early. After tea we continued to

score runs at a consistent rate with Brodie being dismissed for 32 before Greg was caught for 109. Greg had got us into a good position with Pencil making a good 20 runs and Josh Cairns also making a quick 23 late in

the day which included 2 big 6’s against his old club. We where all out in the last over of the day for 265, which Greg was happy with the total considering the out field is very slow.

Next Week we are looking to bowl and field well as we are right in the game.

 

B grade played Echuca South at south.

They won the toss and elected to bat they were bowled out for 98

with the top score being Justin Cantwell with 17.

In reply Echuca South are 2 for 50 with Graham Turner taking 1 wicket and the other being taking by Geoff Arnott. All the bowlers have had a bowl. Hope next week that the boys can take some early wickets to get south on the back foot.

Once again we have 80 ladies on the courts every week with 8

teams in Section 1, 7 teams in section 2 and 6 teams in Section 3. Section

2 has the bye team this year with all other ladies playing every week.

We are looking forward to a happy season again, and this is very noticeable on

the first day when there is so much catching up to do with old friends that

tennis seems to be something that has to be played in between the chatter.

Draws will be given out on the first day of play, but if anybody is unsure and

has not been contacted by their captain they can contact Val Gledhill

Lucky prizes went to Rick Hasty, Jim Harris, Annie Haines and Alan Kauffman. Last Thursday the team of Irene Kauffman, Gwen Haines, Colleen Holman and Kath Palmer (s) played at Colbinabbin and acquitted themselves well. Entries are being sought for the Waterwheel Classic Fours star event to be held on Sunday 25th October commencing at 10.00am. Contact Gordon Haines or Ian Holman for details.

Report date 11th October - The women held their weekly Tuesday social bowls which attracted a quality field.

After two games the team of Annette Brereton, Margaret Davis, Rhonda Gallagher and Joan Ryan (s) were declared the winners. On the pennant scene Division two were only beaten by ten shots against Moama Red.

Division three lost all rinks against a strong City of Echuca side while Division four flew the flag for the club by defeating Rich River White 48-38.

The women will commence their pennant season on Friday. Best wishes for a successful season.

Sunday’s closing day kicked off with the traditional champagne breakfast, with a delicious feed of eggs and bacon.

the runners-up, Pauline & Kevin Humbert. Nett winners were Sherryl Jones and Rohan Chugg, who combined very well to finish with 82-20-62, to defeat Pauline & Kevin Humbert (78-16-62) on a countback.
