Wednesday 8 October 4 pm The Krambruk Room The

You are invited to attend a meeting to discuss
and workshop issues regarding the road closure
arrangements for the 2009 Apollo Bay Music Festival.
We would value your input and opinions regarding
road closure and we are also wanting to talk about
how we can work together to maximise opportunities
during the festival.
Road closure overview
It is proposed that the Great Ocean Road
be closed between Hardy Street and McLaren Parade
at 1 pm on Friday 27 March and be reopened at
6pm on Sunday 29 March.
It is also proposed that a 30 metre section of
the Great Ocean Road roughly next to the surf
club be closed between 2am on Friday 27 March
and be reopened at 11.30pm on Sunday 29 March.
This will allow for various festival infrastructure
to be set up and removed.
We have written to Victoria Police, Vic Roads

and will inform you of their decisions as soon
as they become available.

Southern Otway Landcare
Network 'Landtalk' |
|
Forming
New Ridge Top Land care Croups
Over the past 6 months, SOLN has received
a number of enquiries from residents
in the Lavers Hill, Ferguson and Beech
Forest area about being involved in
Landcare and undertaking projects
locally. This area used to be covered
by the Ferguson Landcare group, however
this group has since become inactive,
leaving little opportunity for local
Landcare activities on and North of
the ridge. Landcare is grass-roots,
it is community driven and responds
to local community issues and needs.
SOLN encourages Lavers Hill, Ferguson
and Beech Forest residents to start
a Landcare group for your area as
this will ultimately result in stronger
local programs responding to your
local issues, and hopefully generate
local employment opportunities. Given
the large number of enquiries to our
office we believe that any moves to
start a new Landcare group for the
Ridge would be well received. There
is both money and expertise available
though our Regional Landcare Coordinator
TraceyMcRae:52329144
tracey.mcrae@ccma.vic.gov.au so if
you feel you would like to help create
a Landcare group for the Ridge give
Tracey a call.
Vulunteer Recruitment initiative,
Start Up Grants
There are currently grants available
through DSE to assist new a Landcare
group or network to start up or restart
an inactive Landcare group or network.
$600 is available to Landcare groups
and $1200 is available to Landcare
networks. These funds can help groups
cover the costs of insurance, incorporation,
executive support, administration
costs etc. To apply for a Landcare
Start Up Grant please contact your
Regional Landcare Coordinator. In
the Corangamite region, our Regional
Landcare Coordinator is Tracey McRae
(contact details as above).
If you have aspirations to make a
contribution to
improving habitat and conservation
in our area, talk to
Landcare!

OPERA OTWAYS EXTRA
Hear Figaro in the forest at Opera in the
Otways on October 25. For five hours from
l-6pm, Melba Gully becomes an outdoor auditorium
for the sublime sounds of Australia's premier
music theatre artists Pot-Pourri and international
lyric coloratura soprano Annalisa Kerrigan.
Joining them will be local humorist Annabel
Tellis and MC Neil Melville from Underbelly
and The Hollowmen.
Mixing opera, music theatre, cabaret, magic
and comedy, Pot-Pourri packs a power of
entertainment into their act. Sopranos Tania
de Jong and Rebecca Bode, tenor Jon Bode,
baritone Jonathan Morton and pianist Rebecca
Chambers have designed a program especially
for Opera in the Otways, but don't think
they would be struggling for songs. With
six CDs, 35 international tours and a sell-out
season at the Spiegeltent behind them, Pot-Pourri
know how to hold a tune and grab an audience.
She's sung at Carols By Candlelight, the
Formula One Grand Prix and a World Cup final,
but Annalisa Kerrigan has yet to sing with
kookaburras and currawongs. That changes
at Opera in the Otways when she sings arias
from La Traviata, The Magic Flute and the
heart-melting O Mio Babbino Caro. Fresh
from a tour of New Zealand performing from
Scotland the Brave and standing ovations
around Australia for sell-out shows of her
new top-selling CD Ireland, Annalisa Kerrigan
swaps skyways for the Otways on this one
afternoon of vocal nirvana.
The last book Annabel Tellis wrote was a
swoon to Shane Warne called Come Shane.
Before that was an illustrated children's
book called If My Dad Were a Dog,
which was a book of the month for the UK
chain Waterstones. Annabel has performed
poetry in the U.K. and comes back for a
repeat performance at this year's Opera
in the Otways.
MC Neil Melville also returns from the inaugural
Opera in the Otways last year, called Gumboots
& Pearls. Since then he has appeared
in Underbelly and as Ian the chief of staff
in The Hollowmen, but he has 30 years of
performing as an actor, singer and musician
behind his recent roles.
To be part of the show, book online through
Ticketmaster or call 1300 OTWAYS. Regional
produce and local wines and beers are provided
on site and hampers can be ordered from
the Opera in the Otways website.
Ride & Stride to Work/School
October 14 is Ride & Stride to Work/School
day - are yoi ready for it? Some tips for
planning:
• Check that your bikes are in good

• Make sure that you have comfortable
shoes for walking - even if it means you
change your shoes later for work
• Remember to get lunches and snacks
ready for the day on the night before so
you don't have to get up any earlier.
• Plan also for how you're getting
home that evening - riding or striding of
course!
The theme for this year is 'Surf & Turf,
so get dressed ir your best costume and
hustle on down to the foreshore on Tuesday
14th October. There'll be stacks of prizes
and entertainment, as well as a Bike Workshop
and a great brekkie. Riding and striding
groups will be meeting at Marengo, Skenes
Creek, Wild Dog and the Harbour.

workshops will look towards ways that self,
kin and community can create local solutions
to make the transition to a society of lower
carbon emissions. They will comprise of creative
and practical activities, film screenings,
information and presentations and will lead
towards an exhibition at Colac Otway Performing
Arts Centre early next year. Expressions of
interest from artists and community members
are invited to be part of these workshops
and exhibitions exploring local solutions
to peak oil and climate change issues.
The workshops are funded by the Colac Otway

film crew will be recording our stories, activities
and events from October to the start of next
year to be part of an international documentary
with Smith and Watson productions (who have
made a number of films for the BBC). This
is a great opportunity for local artists and
musicians, who are part of the transition
initiative exhibition to gain international
exposure, also for those who would like to
be part of the local film crew. We are also
looking for local businesses and individuals
would like to sponsor the initiative, the
exhibition and it's souvenir program. You
will gain great exposure locally and possibly
worldwide. Contact Fern Rainbow if you are
interested in being a part of this initiative.

OTWAY RANGES CLIMATE ACTION
(ORCA}
Climate stability a balancing act
The major atmospheric gases, Nitrogen and
Oxygen, are not greenhouse gases. Greenhouse
gases (water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane,
nitrous oxide, ozone and CFCs) help maintain
the temperature of the Earth by absorbing
and reflecting the sun's radiation. Without
them, our planet would be so cold as to be
uninhabitable.
Antarctic ice cores provide evidence for variations
in greenhouse gas concentrations over the
past 800,000 years. Prior to the industrial
revolution, the concentration of these gases
was relatively constant.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is often mentioned in
relation to climate change. The atmospheric
concentration of carbon dioxide remained between
260 and 280 parts per million for the last
10,000 years - up to the start of the industrial
era. Natural sources of carbon dioxide are
more than 20 times greater than man-made sources
but are normally balanced by natural sinks
such as photosynthesis by plants and marine
plankton. Burning fossil fuels and deforestation
has created much higher concentrations that
have now increased by about 100 ppm (I.e.,
frorn 280 ppm to 380 ppm). The first half
of this increase took place in about 200 years,
from the start of the Industrial Revolution
to around 1973; the next half took place from
1973 to 2006.
Many scientists predict massive global changes
as a result of concentrations over 350ppm.
According to Professor Garnaut, the best we
can hope for, if we act now, is 450ppm. But
550ppm is more likely, and looks like being
the mark the Australian Government will pursue.
You can read more about this at http://orcaction.org.
Climate Change Community Forum
ORCA is holding a Community Forum on Climate
Change in October. The forum will focus on
finding
community supported action to combat climate
change. We hope to see you there.
When: 7pm on Friday October 17
Where: Apollo Bay Senior Citizens Centre,
Whelan St.
Money and Energy Saving Tip #6
Having appliances on standby (any little red
lights or digital clocks are telltale signs!)
can increase your electricity bill by up to
10%. In fact, some microwaves use more energy
running the clock than the actual microwave!
Turning things off at the wall can also protect
your expensive appliances from power surges
- which are quite common here in the Otways.

INTERNATIONAL
FILM FESTIVAL FOR KIDS
COMES TO COPACC
Melbourne's major international
film festival for kids, Little
Big Shots, is coming to Colac.
Little Big Shots which is films
for kids, about kids, and intended
to amaze and delight kids is
coming to COPACC on Sunday October
19, at 11am, and entry is free
in celebration of Children's
Week.
COPACC Manager Karen Patterson
said Little Big Shots showcases
the best in filmmaking for children
-and some are even made by children.
"The films we're showing
are perfect for kids aged zero
to eight, and their families,"
Ms Patterson said. "The
screening of Little Big Shots
has been made possible by a
grant from the Department of
Education and Early Childhood
Development in connection with
Children's Week."
Festival Director Chloe Boulton
said Little Big Shots was an
inspiring, meaningful and fun-filled
festival of the best in local
and international children's
short films, animations and
documentaries.
"The films screening in
Little Big Shots inspire discussion
of world cultures, other languages,
cultural diversity, emotional
intelligence and human values.
They're also perfect for making
kids laugh, whoop, think and
create," Ms Boulton said.
"With films on offer from
Germany, England, Australia,
Sweden and Denmark, from right
there in their cinema seats,
kids and families can span the
globe," she added. "The
festival is the perfect way
for kids to see great stories
from all over the world that
would never otherwise make it
to Australia," Ms Boulton
said.

free screening, contact |

House
Fires
Last year CFA attended over
1300 house fires, almost 200
more than in 2006. And across
the whole of Victoria there
were over 3200 house fires,
and 19 fatalities. The sad thing
about these statistics is that
most of these fires and fatalitites
could have been avoided if people
had just taken a bit more care.
Many people mistakenly believe
that house fires are purely
a winter phenomenom, but statistics
have shown that fires occur
right throughout the year, and
in fact there were more fires
during spring last year than
there were in winter. The reason
being that house fires do not
just start from heaters or open
fires on average 33% of fires
start in the kitchen, mostly
from unattended cooking, and
20% start from faulty electrical
appliances, many of which have
been left operating whilst unattended.
It is these types of complacent
behaviours that lead to disastrous
consequences for many families.
Fortunately there are a few
simple things you can do to
help reduce your risk of house
fire. You can begin by taking
more care when using electrical
appliances -think about turning
them off at the power point
when not in use or having appliances
checked for faulty wiring; don't
leave washing too close to heaters
or open fires - many clothes
are highly flammable these days;
ensure you have a working smoke
alarm -checking it regularly;
have a fire extinguisher and
or a fire blanket in an easily
accessible spot, and last but
not least prepare a home fire
escape plan and practise it
with all your family - it will
give you a greate chance of
avoiding the devastating effects
of a fire.

Making the Transition
A series of workshops
on "Making
the Transition"
will be held on
Friday nights
at Marrar Woorn
following the
"Community
Power" forum

These sessions

ways that self,

can create local
solutions to make
the transition
to a society of
lower carbon emissions.
These workshops
will comprise
of creative and
practical activities,

information and
presentations.
These will lead
towards an exhibition
