The Croaker 2014 08 August THE croaker Correspondence to: the Editors via email: [email protected] Volume 7 No. 4 August 2014 Editors Deb Campbell & Jane Gorman Telstra is coming to the Marsh: Meeting Wednesday August 20th at 5.00pm—7.00pm ADSL & 4G For Deans Marsh: Deans Marsh and district is embarking on a quest to work with Telstra to help us upgrade all our communica- tions systems so that they do actually communicate. We have already collected a list of 50 interested com- munity members to show we are serious. Now we need to assemble and ask questions and put our case. When I first moved to the Marsh from Lorne, I was told by Customer Service in rather triumphal tones ‘Deans Marsh doesn’t have ADSL and it never will’. But it appears this is not necessarily the case. Our neighbours in Lorne and Birregurra campaigned for ADSL and succeeded: now it is our turn. Deans Marsh is right in the middle of one of Victoria’s most fire-prone areas. We have increasing numbers of visitors travelling through whose phones and sat navs do not work here. We also have residents whose mo- biles do not work in their own homes, let alone anywhere outside. We also have expensive and inadequate internet. We are hoping to work with Telstra to make real changes; the first step is a demonstration of support from us all. Anyone who is around 5kms from the Deans Marsh exchange should be able to get ADSL, and a 4G tower would help everyone, including visitors and travellers. The meeting with Telstra staff from both the mobile and infrastructure divisions will be held at the Deans Marsh Hall. Put that date in your diaries and please show up to fight for proper communication in the Deans Marsh district. Deb Campbell Walk the Barwon It took three days for the first leg to be walked along the Barwon River from its eastern branch headwaters at the top of the Otways near Thompson Track, to Birregurra. As the crow flies, it’s about 32 kilometres, but the actual distance was 43 kilometres (from calculations made by Sue Harris). Twenty walkers (appendix 1) trav- elled on 22 private properties (appendix 2), whose owners had kindly granted permission following represen- tations by Loraine Cosgriff, who once farmed in this valley, and still knows many of them. On the way, the travellers saw a number of features that distinguish the Barwon: The forested headwaters (mostly in national park); Lake Elizabeth; West Barwon Reservoir (Geelong’s main water source); Acid sulfate effects in Boundary Creek; Some restoration projects in the flood plain and main channel; A new fencing system; and Plenty of restoration opportunities. Organizer Jennifer Morrow, and her trusty lieutenant Richard Gilbert are understandably delighted that, after three years of planning and negotiating, the first leg has been achieved, with accolades from all concerned. And they’re reinvigorated in their ambition to complete the whole journey, all the way to the mouth at Barwon Heads. They and a team of helpers believe that such a walk will enhance the process of reconnecting people with each other and their natural environment, the condition of which is so often reflected in the rivers. It’ll take a few years. his is an excerpt of Peter’s account.

The audience expressed a keen desire to know what they could do to support refugees. The Lorne Op Shop recently provided gift vouchers for seven families through Diversitat Colac, and RAR Apollo Bay organised the Festival of Hope which featured Julian Burnside. On Q and A recently both Richard di Natale and Darryn Lyons, the Mayor of Geelong spoke passionately about the issue: http://www.abc.net.au/tv/ qanda/txt/s4012281.htm .

They were Andrew Beale, Harry Reed, Linnet Hunter, Keith Maxwell, Christine Smith, Brian Poynton, Ray Moore and Eugene. Their styles varied from powerful moving notes of life experiences to light-hearted interpreta- tions of local identities to some memorable bush poetry. An audience of about thirty sat down to a wonderful array of tapas and local wines while we embraced the works of these 6 Star Energy Ratings and Bushfire Assess- talented wordsmiths. Thanks go to Richard Gilbert for organ- ments ising the event. We hope there is another evening just like it New homes, relocations & extensions very soon. Judy Goddard contact Bruce St Clair Effective Thermal Solutions Tiger Trail Update 0435 892 799 or 52363231 A Tiger Trial Open House held on June 17 to showed plans www.effectivethermalsolutions.com.au for a bike and walking trail on the old railway line. Opposi- tion by landowners and the private ownership of the former railway corridor means further development of the rail trail in Deans Marsh is unlikely. However, the steering commit- tee is committed to considering Deans Marsh within a group of four townships; including Barwon Downs, Birre- gurra & Forrest. Our towns share a common goal of at- tracting people to the area; offering healthy, safe and envi- ronmentally friendly recreational activities. We are part of a great destination for walkers, cyclists, and mountain bike users and opportunities for local businesses and tourism exist. The next phase, to produce the Issues & Opportuni- ties Report, will be based on findings and issues raised from the Open House meetings. Under consideration is to link Birregurra and Forrest with a series of road verges and paths.

Volume 7 No. 4 August 2014 Gas free Deans Marsh Bambra Pennyroyal So many towns in our region are getting active on the gas mining issue that a Western Alliance of all of us has been created to coordinate and share campaigns in the run up to the state election in November. The Gas Free Deans Marsh meeting on July 28 was told about: the new networkl ; a Musical Fundraiser scheduled for October 4 in the Deans Marsh Hall; GFDM signs being ordered to place at the entrances to town; and, the new GFDM website: http://gasfieldfreedeansmarsh.com If anyone would like to volunteer their fences to host signs, please contact Liz Bashford at [email protected] Senator Richard di Natale gave Deans Marsh a mention in the Senate in June as he criticised both the state govern- ment and opposition for failing to support a permanent ban on coal seam and unconventional gas mining in Victoria. [see http://richard-di-natale.greensmps.org.au/nocsgvictoria] Meanwhile the state government is running community con- sultations to see what we all think. Liz Bashford Emerging from the mud at the Oval is a culmination of three projects First, the playground been upgraded to include a new ac- cessible basket swing, a 4 piece fitness play area (chin up/ horizontal bars, dip/parallel bars, step ups and sit up bench), 2 timber play sculptures (frog and turtle), a timber shade ar- bour over the sand pit and site landscaping. Sculpted by Veronica Phillips with her chainsaw, the large timber trunks have evolved into creations of beautiful sculptures. The Playground Working Group worked with Council on the design of the playground extension. This group included Veronica Phillips, Leah Wendt, Kylie Permezel, Donna Nolan, Ruth Gazzard, Tahli Dobbin, Lucy Quarterman, Jane Whitehead and Fran Permezel. Thanks to you all and the Surf Coast Shire Council. This has been a great partnership with the best possible outcome for the local community. The skate park received funds from state government and the Surf Coast Shire Youth Development Team provided two professional street artists to create a mural. Themed “flight”. The artists were assisted by 3 young people (including Leo & Patrick Coleman) There is also a photography component to the mural. Finally, there are also Drainage works to the BMX track/ Skate Park Area being completed this month.

The lines on the left side of each page represent the generations. The relevant ancestors are listed at the top of each page. The names of children all touch the line coming directly from the name of their Pearse parent. This index includes all known people of the Pearse family. Women are indexed under their maiden/family name only. Where maiden/family names are not known, married names are used. These entries are indicated thus * Where two or more people have the same name, the year of birth is given. If further identification is required, the line from which they come is indicated, such as (J) for John. Descendants of Maxine Mauldin b 1944 and Baden Sylvester Hooper b 1929 are shown in the Samuel and George McConachy lines. Descendants of Sarah Taylor Pearse 1846 - 1920 and Robert McConachy 1829 - 1918 appear in the Robert McConachy line. Descendants of Robert William Scammell b 1935 and Betty Victoria McConachy b 1935 appear twice in the Thomas Butson line. Joanne Gai Scammell & Craig Norman Sheather appear twice in the Thomas Butson line. We now have 3000 plus people recorded in the Pearse family tree. We would like to continue recording the Pearse Family Tree and it would be appreciated if you would make a note in your diary each year to email or post to us an update of your section of the family.
