The New Year’s Eve celebration attracted 160 members and guests who thoroughly enjoyed the musical talent of Maurice Milani and his band. The combination of the Band, venue and delicious four course meal ensured the evening was a resounding success enjoyed by all present. Regular visitors to the club wanted it known that this was the best New Year’s Eve celebration ever at the club in every respect and thanked the staff for their efforts on the night. Golf participation has been very high over the Christmas / New Year period for golfers enjoying one of the very best courses in the area. We are fortunate to Pictured (above): have a good supply of water but like other facilities it is limited and we continue President, Kim Gray to monitor our groundwater usage and do hope that we receive good autumn rainfalls. Failing that we may need to enter into a program of reduced water usage. The Croquet players now have their storage shed installed which now provides a secure and waterproof structure for their valuable equipment and more importantly a place to seek refuge during either very hot or wet conditions. The club has also submitted a request for government funding for the provision of shelter proposed for the front area of the shed. In view of the bushfire crisis we are not sure if the funding will be forthcoming. At our VIP Dinner in December, recipients of the Hilton Nicholas Foundation Scholarships were awarded to Fergus Monaghan, Robbie Bailey, Toby Hoskin, Harrison Just, Beau Davis, Ned Gray, Fergus Cochrane, Bella Shanahan, Oliver Nelson and Ethan Sorensen. We look forward to the continuing development of these young golfers via the Foundation. Hilton Nicholas’ wife, Marjorie was on hand to present the Scholarships. Hilton was passionate about junior golf and wanted to leave a legacy for the development of juniors at Howlong. Until next month, keep safe, stay hydrated and enjoy our facilities.

  • Victorian Heritage Database Place Details - 1/10/2021 Swan Hill Lift Bridge
    Victorian Heritage Database place details - 1/10/2021 Swan Hill Lift Bridge Location: Swan Hill Road,, SWAN HILL VIC 3585 - Property No B6941 Heritage Inventory (HI) Number: Listing Authority: HI Extent of Registration: Statement of Significance: The Swan Hill Bridge is historically, scientifically, socially and aesthetically significant at State level. It is composed of a central steel lift span, flanked by large timber through-truss spans and with timber-beam approach spans at either end. When built in 1896 it represented the very latest and most sophisticated Australian design, both in its lift-span technology and its Allan trusses. Designed by the leading Sydney bridge engineer, Percy Allan, it was built by the prolific Victorian bridge-building firm of Farquharson, which constructed numerous well-known large river bridges: Chinaman's Bridge and the old Seymour highway bridge that still span the Goulburn River, a series of Murray River bridges including superb existing lift-span and/or timber-truss bridges at Swan Hill, Tocumwal, Cobram and Howlong, and the now-relocated Darlington Point bascule bridge of 1905. The firm also built numerous other big Victorian and New South Wales river bridges that no longer exist, including the second Union Bridge at Albury and the old Tintaldra truss bridge. The Swan Hill lift-span and through-truss bridge of 1896 represented an especially important achievement for both Percy Allan and the Farquharsons. This was one of the earliest bridges to be built to Allan's innovative ninety-feet timber-truss design of 1893, which would be replicated all over New South Wales.
