Only ones and twos down the loo – that’s the message from Western Water, as new �gures show blockages caused by fats and oils, wet wipes and even nappies are costing up to $150,000 a year to clear.

‘‘�at’s just across the sewer plants,’’ customer and community relations general manager Graham Holt said.

‘‘In residential areas, that cost increases depending on the time of day for the blockage and extent of damage done to assets and the environment.

‘‘It’s an unnecessary cost but, sadly, it is passed onto all customers.’’

Mr Holt said the incorrect disposal of items that don’t break down like toilet paper could block sewers, pumping stations and �lter screen systems at recycling treatment plants.

About 450 sewer blockages have been recorded in Western Water’s service area in the past year.

‘‘Typically, items gather at the sewer pumping stations, get caught in the pumps and cause failures,’’ Mr Holt said.

‘‘In some towns, they get caught up closer to homes, causing blockages.’’

Western Water data shows sta� remove close to 1500 kilograms of waste from the Sunbury recycled water treatment plant every week. �is waste then has to be sent to land�ll.

Dolls, toy guns and even phones are among items pulled out by workers in recent times.

Residential areas of Sunbury and Melton are known trouble spots for fats and oils being �ushed down the drain, while adult nappies and wet wipes are the main cause of blockages in other areas.

Wet wipes, traditionally used for cleaning babies, have increased in popularity in recent times and are o�en marketed as a �ushable replacement for toilet paper.

Mr Holt urged people to think before putting waste down toilets or drains.

‘‘Our message is, just because packaging says they can be �ushed doesn’t mean they should be.’’

Ms Corke acknowledged Joe could have been shot under the Environment Department’s direct control measures.

‘‘�is is just an example of the kind of thing that can happen with the permits,’’ she said.

‘‘People don’t even have to prove they are a good shot.’’

‘‘ It’s quite disturbing that someone would do this ’’

- Sue Anderson

A friendly kangaroo who provided years of companionship for a now deceased Macedon resident is recovering a�er being shot in the shoulder.

Macedon Ranges Wildlife Network says the incident early this month was another example of increasing cruelty towards native animals.

‘Joe’, who has lived on a Macedon property for about six years, survived the ordeal but will need signi�cant veterinary treatment to ensure he makes a full recovery.

His shooting comes two months a�er a wombat was illegally shot and killed in Pastoria,

leaving a baby orphaned. An ibis was recently shot with an arrow near Woodend.

Network spokeswoman Fiona Corke said native wildlife was protected by law, and she called on the state government to do more.

‘‘It can’t be le� up to groups like ours; we are under enough pressure as it is,’’ she said.

Network volunteer Sue Anderson said Joe had grown up being hand-fed by a Macedon resident around whom the kangaroo used to wrap his arms.

‘‘He’s so gentle,” she said. “It’s quite disturbing that someone would do this.’’

Ms Corke said wildlife volunteers had found kangaroos with their jaws hanging o� and shoulders torn apart by shotgun pellets.

Landholders can apply for a permit to use direct control techniques, such as dispersal or culling, if wildlife is damaging crops and buildings or threatening human safety.

Last month, Star Weekly reported that Star Weekly reported that Star Weekly79 permits to get rid of 2180 kangaroos were granted in the Macedon Ranges in the past year.

Football took a back seat on Saturday as the Sunbury Lions and the football community remembered MH17 airline victims Maree and Albert Rizk.

A large crowd was at Clarke Oval as the Lions and their opponent Redan paid tribute to Maree and Albert.

It was a full house for a pre-game function before players and spectators joined together for a minute’s silence.

�e couple’s son James Rizk led the Lions onto the �eld before taking his place on the team’s backline.

Vanessa Rizk, the daughter of Maree and Albert, was involved in the pre-game ceremony, releasing two balloons in memory of her parents.

Once on the �eld, the Lions were brave but couldn’t hold o� Redan, losing by four points.

Coach Rick Horwood said it was an emotional day with players and supporters in tears before the game and in the rooms a�erwards.

“I think it hurts more as we had the game in our hands and we lost it. I don’t think Redan won it; we lost it, so it hurts a bit more. But I was pretty proud of them. �ey wanted to win so badly today.”

James Rizk was adjudged the Lions’ best player.

“It was an unknown [how he would play],” Horwood said.

“I had a feeling he would be mentally strong. He’s such a strong character and he showed that in the way he played today.”

A growing Sunbury BMX club is in a race against time a�er thieves raided a shipping container loaded with bikes and helmets for children wanting to try the sport.

Eight bikes valued at $500 each and helmets valued at $120 were among items taken from Sunbury BMX Club’s track at Sunbury Recreation Reserve. A compressor was also stolen.

Club secretary Carolyn Todd said the break-in in late June had put volunteers in a tight spot, with the club preparing to host up to 400 riders for a major meeting on August 23.

Cruel blow to BMX clubTara, Milly, Kate, Hamish, Josh and Jagger are hoping their BMX club rustles up some community support. (Damjan Janevski)

‘‘We’re putting a call out for sponsors and anyone who can give the club a hand,’’ Ms Todd said. ‘‘�e club’s grown a lot in the past few years. Because of that, we bought the bikes and gear so new kids coming along could have a go without the initial expense.

‘‘�e club’s a great place to be at the moment, but to have this the� happen is very disappointing.’’

�e club recently became the second-largest in the state, going from 48 riding members in 2013 to 177 this year.

Ms Todd said the August 23 meeting would attract close to 1000 people, but the the� had placed pressure on resources.

‘‘We’re really stretched,” she said. “If any local businesses are able to help, we’d certainly love to promote them at the track.’’

For details, contact [email protected].

Meanwhile, Sunbury Kangaroos Football Club is o�ering a reward for information that could identify two men captured on CCTV about the time of recent break-ins at Boardman Reserve.

A spokesman said the club believed the men might be associated with, or live close to, the club, with a replacement ducted heating unit stolen on July 5 a�er the original unit was taken on June 8. Information to Sunbury police.

A Sunbury artist who considered a career in the tattoo trade before �nding his niche in graphic design is in the running for a $30,000 Indigenous art prize.

John Patten, who started to shi� from commercial art towards galleries last year, has been shortlisted for the Victorian Indigenous Art Awards at his �rst attempt.

As an artist, Patten is a veritable jack of all trades. On any given evening, a�er �nishing a day teaching Aboriginal art and culture at a Melbourne arts centre, he can be found working on anything from woodcarvings and metal work through to writing plays.

‘‘I do a lot of writing, painting, drawing, sculpture,’’ he says. ‘‘If there’s a material there, I’m keen to give it a go.’’

Patten moved to Sunbury about seven years ago a�er growing up in New South Wales.

His shortlisted work, Jugun II, represents his Jugun II, represents his Jugun IIupbringing and the opportunities open to his children in his new home. �e large black and white canvas is the second in a series of works telling his personal story.

‘‘It’s all very di�erent to what most people associate as Aboriginal art,” he says. “�ere’s no dots or anything like that.’’

Patten says the works in the annual awards, which will be exhibited in Ballarat from August9, re�ect the diversity of Indigenous culture. ‘‘Just in Victoria, you’ve got over 40 di�erent language groups,” he says. ‘‘It’s like if you go to Europe, you’ve got all these di�erent countries. On the surface, the people might look similar, but they’ve got … di�erent language groups and religions.’’

Split opinions welcomedBy Matt Crossman

Transition auditors reviewing Sunbury’s planned separation from Hume say they’ve welcomed the opportunity to hear di�erent points of view in the lead-up to a public meeting.

John Watson and Frank Vincent have sat down with residents and community groups in recent weeks a�er o�ering face-to-face meetings as part of the consultation phase of the review process.

�e meetings follow the release of information sheets outlining details of the 2013 poll that led to Sunbury’s secession and the potential impact on rates in Sunbury and Hume, service delivery and population growth.

Mr Watson, the Brimbank council chairman of administrators, and Mr Vincent, a former judge of the Supreme Court, were appointed by the state government in March with a brief to review the Sunbury split.

�e former Liberal government had gazetted papers for the creation of a new Sunbury council to start on July 1 this year.

In a statement, Mr Watson and Mr Vincent encouraged Sunbury and Hume residents to again share their views at this Friday’s meeting at Sunbury Memorial Hall.

�e auditors have promised to report back to the government before August 31.

‘‘�is is an issue that will a�ect the local community now and well into the future, and we encourage everyone with an interest in the separation of Sunbury to also make a formal submission before July 29,’’ they said.

‘‘Your submissions addressing questions arising from our community information and engagement program are fundamental to our report and recommendations.’’

Mr Watson and Mr Vincent have downplayed calls to ensure security guards are present at the public meeting.

�e calls came a�er the previous public meeting on the controversial subject led to �ery disputes between members of the public and a probe into the alleged misbehaviour of Sunbury-based councillors Jack Medcra� and Jack Ogilvie. �e pair, who fronted two investigations, complained they were “ambushed” by agitators waving placards at last September’s meeting at Broadmeadows Town Hall.

Earlier this month, Cr Medcra� said a strong security presence was needed to prevent a repeat of what happened last year.

“I hope it doesn’t turn into an event where people are targeted because their views are di�erent from that of others,’’ he said.

Friday’s meeting, at which the auditors will present an overview and answer questions, will be led by an independent facilitator. �e meeting will at Sunbury Memorial Hall from 7pm. Submissions can be emailed to [email protected]

Community health centres are ideally placed to play an increased role in responding to family violence, according to Sunbury Community Health’s submission to a royal commission.

But the 40-page document warns that the whole response system must be adequately funded if the devastating consequences of the problem are to be curbed.

�e submission was one of almost 1000 made to the royal commission launched in response to rising family violence rates.

Public hearings began last week, with the commission to report and make recommendations to the state government by February.

SCH’s submission said references to family violence as an emergency becoming widespread meant little without adequate resources.

‘‘A national emergency requires a strategic plan which recognises the need to … adequately fund all stages of the response system until prevention, early intervention, accountability and healing measures start taking e�ect,’’ the submission says.

‘‘Community health centres work directly with thousands of local families and have strong relationships with schools, businesses and other community agencies. �ey are best placed to lead prevention activities.’’

�e submission calls for funding to allow SCH to recruit a small team of family violence workers to implement locally relevant education and intervention programs.

‘‘�e system must be localised and

strengthened to ensure early intervention responses are timely and e�ective.

‘‘SCH and other community health centres can respond to low-risk incidents that may not be actioned by regionally provided services.

‘‘�ey also have personal relationships with local police, capacity to contact victims and perpetrators in the 24 to 48 hours a�er an incident and can immediately provide wrap-around supports for the whole family.’’

�e submission also calls for behavioural change programs to be expanded, with demand greatly exceeding availability.

With almost 60 incidents reported in Hume every week, SCH child, youth and family services general manager Marcus Bosch told Star Weekly it was crucial that the community Star Weekly it was crucial that the community Star Weeklysupported women and children experiencing family violence.

‘‘It’s also important for clear messages to be given to men who behave violently,” he said. “Information can be given to them about services to help them address these issues, also through Sunbury Community Health.

‘‘We seek to engage the community in working towards building a culture where men are respectful of women and where there is strong value placed on gender equality from an early age.’’

NBN slow to rollMore areas of Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges will be covered by the high-speed National Broadband Network (NBN), but not until at least late 2016. An updated rollout plan released last week listed Gisborne, New Gisborne, Riddells Creek, Lance�eld, Romsey, Sunbury and Diggers Rest among areas where construction will begin in the �rst half of next year. McEwen MP Rob Mitchell said residents had waited too long for the NBN, which the federal government promised would be completed by next year.

Lift in care fundingKyneton District Health (KDH) will share a $580,000 federal government boost to central Victorian home and community care programs (HACC). Bendigo MP Lisa Chesters said the money would support older people, residents with disabilities and their carers, allowing them to live independently for longer. KDH will receive a one-off payment of $14,000. HACC programs are jointly funded by state and federal governments.

Let’s talk educationResidents are being encouraged by Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas to have their say on the future of state education. Forums will be held in Romsey on Thursday, Gisborne on July 27 and Woodend on July 30. Details: 5428 2138.

Invasive willow trees rotting along a Kyneton river bank will be covered up by native plants as part of a National Tree Day event this Sunday.

Volunteers are being invited to join members of the Campaspe River and Land Management Group as they plant indigenous �ora and eucalypts from 10am until midday.

Spokesman Peter Harding (pictured with committee members Don and Jessie Smith) says the planting will help revegetate the site where the catchment management authority recently removed a large number of introduced willows.

�e resultant wood chips will be used as mulch on the new trees.

‘‘�ey [willows] have been cut o� to stump level and le� there to eventually rot and disintegrate,’’ Mr Harding says.

‘‘�e reason for this is that the roots remain embedded and help hold the river bank together, preventing erosion.’’

�e site is at the river end of Mill Street. Bookings are essential. For more details, phone 0419 625 600.

It’s been a long haul, but a group behind the push for a skate and BMX park at Lance�eld is con�dent the next generation of youngsters won’t have to leave town to practise kick�ips and ollies.

Skate park committee member Amy Bell said a 20-year campaign was reaching its business end.

Macedon Ranges council has approved designs for the south-eastern corner of Lance�eld Park and allocated $130,000 to the build.

�e committee needs sponsorship and grants to help cover the remaining $170,000 needed for the community’s preferred plan. Fundraising e�orts will be launched in coming months.

‘‘It’s just dollars now,’’ Ms Bell said. ‘‘�e fact the council has pledged $130,000 is such an encouragement for other groups to come forward.

‘‘�e site’s been approved, money’s been pledged and we’ve got an active and engaged community.’’

�e push for a skate park dates back to the late 1990s, when the town raised $12,000, which remains in the group’s co�ers. Considerable e�ort was put in over the years that followed, but the lack of a formal design stopped the project from becoming a reality.

With the community endorsing plans late last year, Ms Bell said one last push was needed to realise this long-held dream. To contribute, call Lance�eld Neighbourhood House on 5429 1214.

Skate park set for a kick-start

By Matt Crossman

Rod Sinclair says he was 14 when he o�cially became a member of the CFA.

‘‘O�cially’’ because, like many youngsters at the time, he had been turning out for �res with his father since he was eight or nine years old.

A�er more than 50 years as a volunteer, including signi�cant stints as brigade captain and instructor, the Riddells Creek veteran has been presented with CFA life membership and a national medal.

‘‘It’s not done these days, but back then every kid was involved from a young age like that,’’ he said.

Mr Sinclair, who remains heavily involved as a vehicle trainer and �re�ghters’ association leader, said an emphasis on skills-based training was among the major changes to come in during his career.

‘‘We used to just do a massive amount of burning o�, because that was the only way to do it,’’ he said.

‘‘Nowadays, with all the training centres, we are a lot better prepared.’’

He said protective equipment, too, had come a long way.

‘‘Fire�ghting is a lot safer than it used to be.’’

Not surprisingly, the Ash Wednesday bush�res of 1983 that devastated the Macedon Ranges are etched in Mr Sinclair’s memory.

But the trouble caused by the �rst batch of diesel trains is something not remembered by many others.

‘‘In the early days, those diesels used to light �res all along the train line,’’ he said.

‘‘We attended something like 120 �res a year [caused by trains] in the early ’70s.’’

One thing that hasn’t changed is the central

‘‘I’m very proud of our brigade,’’ Mr Sinclair said. ‘‘We’re still very strong on the community side with lots of volunteers, and that’s good for the town.

A 32-seat arthouse theatre designed to evoke memories of the grand old cinemas of the 1940s is due to open at New Gisborne’s Baringo complex in September.

Site owner Gary Harley, who with wife Pauline has owned the former Whistlestop Hotel and surrounding land since 1998, said construction of the theatre was progressing well and would add to broader renovations including a bar, bistro and wine store.

�e theatre, which will feature plush leather chairs and ‘‘lots of crimson and gold’’, will also be used for functions, lectures and recitals.

Mr Harley said it was an exciting part of a $50 million vision for a community ‘‘centrepoint’’ o�ering entertainment, food, wine and accommodation.

‘‘We’re just trying to build on that whole village theme,’’ he said. ‘‘New Gisborne is a beautiful village that hasn’t really had any sort of commercial hub until now.

‘‘�is is meant to create a true centre for the community.’’

Mr Harley said the theatre was modelled on the success of other venues, such as �e Sun at Yarraville.

‘‘�ere will be movies on every day,’’ he said.‘‘We haven’t set the program yet, but it will be

very nostalgic; it will be classic and European. ‘‘Our whole project is really about bringing

that inner city, urban edge feel into a rural, regional area.’’

Mr Harley said the development, which has already created 20 new jobs, had been a phenomenal success.

‘‘I think our workforce will grow to something like 40,’’ he said, citing other plans for cottage accommodation and a 66-lot residential development behind the hotel site.

A mixed media artist who spent time in residence at Riversdale, home of Arthur Boyd’s Bundanon Trust, is among many creators featured in a guide to the Macedon Ranges’ art scene.

Lorna �ri� Brooks and Lara Le Reveur (pictured) are among almost 30 artists featured in the latest Macedon Ranges Art Trail brochure, available from tourist information centres, libraries, cafes, wineries and online.

Now in its third year, the guide also lists open galleries, artisan businesses and events.

�e 2015-16 edition includes Sunbury artists for the �rst time.

Brooks, who will soon turn 84, says that while she’s done everything from ledlight and jewellery to pottery and even making paper, painting continues to give her the most joy. ‘‘I just love it. It’s such a part of who I am,’’ she says.

‘‘I’ve done portraits and �gures, landscapes and everything else. I’ve just always loved art. I’ve been an artist from a very early age and had so many exhibitions now.’’

Brooks says anyone with a deep interest in art should get in touch with the artists in this year’s guide, who welcome visitors by appointment.

‘‘�ere are some wonderful people who are doing some really wonderful things,’’ she says.

Trail founder Nadine Hartnett says the guide, funded by artists and Woodend Lions Club, is reaching further than ever before.

‘‘Copies have gone to information centres in Melbourne and interstate, and a few were even taken to Spain last week.’’

Let your art come forth

Community consultation undertaken as part of a review of the management at Hanging Rock was “encouraging”, Hanging Rock Action Group president Luke Spielvogel said last week.

�e action group has long sought better protection for the major tourist attraction. Its members were among about 50 people at Woodend last Wednesday who were told that possible changes included reforming the Rock’s advisory committee or giving control of the iconic site to Parks Victoria.

As reported by Star Weekly, the state Star Weekly, the state Star Weeklygovernment appointed consultants to consider options for new management of Hanging Rock Reserve.

�e comprehensive review, which will include a second stage focused on planning controls, ful�ls an Andrews’ government pre-election promise.

‘‘We’re … encouraged by the process itself and some of the themes that were discussed,’’ Mr Spielvogel said. “�ere was real balance and perspective.’’

He said many felt too much focus had been put on recreation at the Rock, ‘‘perhaps at the expense of environment and heritage values’’.

As it is, residents have until Friday to comment on concept plans for two new picnic shelters at the Rock.

Mr Spielvogel welcomed the extension of the deadline for electronic submissions to the management review until July 31.

As leaders in health care in the Macedon Ranges Shire and surrounding districts, Macedon

Ranges Health has been serving the community for nearly 60 years.

It began life as the Gisborne District Bush Nursing Hospital and has since expanded to become one of the largest employers in the region.

The non-pro�t organisation offers a wide range of healthcare services, aimed at maintaining the community’s health and wellbeing.

“Macedon Ranges Health is a one-stop shop for the entire community,” chief executive Don Tidbury says.

“We offer podiatry, physiotherapy, dietetics, counselling, psychology, speech pathology, naturopathy and more.”

Macedon Ranges Health also offers 24-hour home care and assistance.

And there’s a residential aged-care facility, Gisborne Oaks, which provides elderly patients with a warm and friendly environment and high quality nursing care.

Macedon Ranges Health has recently opened a new medical centre, with an independently-operated GP clinic and a café, at its headquarters on Neal Street, Gisborne.

The skilled and devoted staff at Macedon Ranges Health are all highly trained and aim to deliver high-quality care to the local community.

“All our staff are extremely passionate and caring,” Mr Tidbury says.

With more than 130 volunteers and an array of programs, the organisation’s main focus is to give back to the community.

“We’re fortunate to have a vibrant volunteers’ program, where people regularly

give up their free time to make a difference to people’s lives across a range of programs, including aged care, home care, the MRH Op Shop and the Men’s Shed,” Mr Tidbury says.

SE3D Pty Ltd is a social enterprise with a focus on helping people create the world they wish existed, to aim to

build a more positive world and to leave a positive legacy.

Bringing together young people under the age of 25 with people over the age of 50, SE3D offers two separate programs empowering participants to set goals and pursue ambitions, both individually and collectively.

Director and creator Paul Kooperman believes life is all about nurturing one’s inner seed, thus the name.

“The outcome is that participants will plant their seed, which can then be watered, nurtured, shared, contributed to, and represent some kind of positive legacy for the world, because legacy starts with a leg, a foot, a step in the right direction,” Paul said.

Programs are delivered via workshops, seminars, retreats and personal and professional development sessions, as well as at weekly peer-led meetings.

The �rst SE3D weekend workshop for older people, someday,someday,someday will be held on the weekend of October 23–25 at the Farmers Arms Hotel, Lance�eld.

It will be presented by the young leaders of The Field Trip, an associated youth program that starts on August 2 at Lance�eld.

The Field Trip is SE3D’s youth leadership arm, giving younger generations the chance to act as leaders and empower themselves, and others, to become thinkers, innovators and entrepreneurs.

October’s weekend someday retreat will someday retreat will somedayfocus on the individual stories and dreams of participants.

“Field Trip participants will explore things they’d like to do ‘someday’, the world they want to see ‘someday’, changes they’d like to make within their community and for themselves,” Paul said. “We don’t just help people cope and survive, but we help them thrive.”

Quest for new world, some day

The retreat will include a fully catered menu and will also feature guest speakers and artists – including Syd Zygier, daughter of rock icon Deborah Conway, and Josh Murray, founder of Josh’s Rainbow Eggs and 3’s Company. Participants will be

supported by trained SE3D staff to connect and create.

SE3D Pty Ltd. Opens 9am-5pm, Monday-Friday. Inquiries: 0400 344 746, www.SE3D.org or www.the�eld.co

On about 0.61 hectares, the house has three big bedrooms with built-in wardrobes; they share a bright bathroom. The living room, from where there is access to the deck, sits under a timber-lined cathedral ceiling and has timber dado panels and large windows (including clerestory). The kitchen has plenty of cupboards, a breakfast bench and electric upright cooker. There’s a gas log �re, a split-system, broadband internet availability, a large shed and a double garage. The bushland around is ready to explore.

As real estate agents, we have seen one of the most handy tools of the trade to be the Open-for-

Inspection Day. Not only does it benefit the buyers who can then view a maximum number of properties

in the minimum amount of time, but it saves time and labour on the part of the vendor as well. For the

vendor, they can organise their day so that the inspection time is at a time slot that is most convenient to

them. In having the inspection days confined to once or twice a week, the vendor doesn’t have to keep

tidying up after the kids every five minutes. They can then better organise their own schedules and even

work their normal working hours. Another advantage for vendors is that by having people through their

house at the same times, it indicates more interest in the property which gives more incentive to buyers

to make an offer more promptly. This, in turn, can shorten the whole sales period. For buyers it gives

them flexibility as well.

Instead of having a set appointment time, they have a block of time to see the property. And, if they

miss the time, they can always come back on the next inspection day. The Open-for-Inspection Day

also serves to filter out the serious buyer who will want to return for a private inspection. If you have an

interest in any sale, purchase or leasing then feel free to contact me John Dunlop on 9744 2555 or call

into our friendly offices at Sunbury and Gisborne for a talk.

Open-for-Inspection Days Save Timefor Everyone



Sunlight dancing on the craggy folds of Hanging Rock is an uplifting sight on leaving this property,‘Birchlea’, and arrival is also good for the soul as one passes through park-like grounds dotted with natives, exotics and vine-clad arbours before coming to the house precinct.

One of the lovely old spreading trees has swings and a climbing ladder, setting the scene at a property designed for families who relish the wonderful Newham lifestyle, where good food and coffee is just down the road.

Although less than 40 years old, the big house hugs its surrounds so well and has so much old-world charm it seems to have perched on its 1.21 hectare much longer.

The extra-deep front verandah, lightly trimmed with lacework, is the �rst of the ‘charm notes’, and the gorgeously leafy outlook here makes it a prime relaxation spot.

Inside, timber �oorboards, ceiling rosettes, timber dado panels, picture rails and a wide multi-paned bay window uphold the heritage feel, but kitchen and bathrooms (where it counts) have recently been made over to meet a more contemporary brief. Rooms are large, the �oor plan’s a beauty and big windows and skylights let in lots of light.

The wide stretch of the nearly 31-square house is bisected lengthways by a generous boarded hallway, with mudroom and pretty

window at either end, living zones in the front half and bedrooms at the back. Entry under the verandah is into a large,boarded lounge room which has a split-system and a Coonara wood heater.

An archway with multi-paned doors then ushers in the (boarded) dining room with another Coonara, and the large kitchen is next door. Super-practical cork �ooring, white-painted timber wall panels, dado rails and a limewashed ceiling (with skylight) delineate the cooks’ space, which has an island bench, smoky grey-blue glass splashback, Bosch dishwasher, 900mm stainless-steel gas cooktop and wall oven. And, perfectly positioned for interaction, a built-in study desk and storage area are

also in the kitchen area. Another living room (with Masport wood heater) is at the mudroom end of the bedroom stretch, and has access to the full-width back verandah.

Three big bedrooms have �oorboards and built-in wardrobes, while the main (also �oorboards) has a �tted walk-in wardrobe and a sleek en suite with bespoke vanity unit; the main bathroom is equally new and chic.

A large, fenced vegie garden, tank and bore water, a glasshouse, a big steel shed with attached carport, and panoramic views from the large top paddock �nish off this nifty Newham niche.

“HOT AND COLD”Cold, wet and windy – yes it is winter!

As we shiver in the cold the Real Estate Market is

HOT! Winter has always been an excellent time to

sell and I have no idea why. Perhaps it is because

there are fewer properties available for sale; perhaps

it is because only dedicated, genuine buyers venture

out on a cold and blustery day. Whatever the reason,

property sales are HOT!

At this time of year,year,year many who are thinking of selling

will “sit tight” and wait for spring, but why? Yes Spring

is beautiful, gardens show their spring glory, the sun

shines a little more often and the trees come into leaf,

and many more properties come on the market.

Winter is an excellent time to sell! Beat the spring rush

and be ahead of the crowd by listing NOW. I know

it seems strange advice but look around your area,

count the properties with “SOLD” stickers on the

boards, it really is amazing just how many properties

sell in winter.winter.winter

Of course, if spring is the right time for you then winter

can be a great time to catch up on all the little jobs

inside, in readiness for a good marketing campaign.

Start to de-clutter and tidy up, prepare to sell and use

winter wisely.

Cold weather and a HOT market – it’s the perfect

combination.

Did you know that choosing timber cabinets for your new kitchen can make you feel physically and mentally better?

That’s the �nding of a Planet Ark-commissioned report, released earlier this year.

Numerous studies found that exposure to wood products and interiors has measurable health bene�ts, similar to those created by spending time in nature.

“An increasing body of research is beginning to show that being surrounded by wood at home, work or school has positive effects on the body, the brain and the environment,” says Chris Philpot, Make It Wood campaign manager at Planet Ark, “and can even shorten hospital stays through reduced recovery times.”

Studies clearly demonstrate that the warmth and comfort of wood in interiors has the effect of lowering blood pressure and heart rates, reducing stress andanxiety and increasing positive social interactions.

Wood products in a room also improve indoor air quality by moderating humidity.

Planet Ark’s report said that increasing urbanisation means people have less access to nature in their daily lives and Australians on average now spend more than 90 per cent of their time indoors.

This has well-reported health consequences, so understanding how to incorporate the many bene�ts of nature into the indoor environment is an increasingly important area of research.

In addition to its health impacts, the use of responsibly sourced, certi�ed wood can have signi�cant positive environmental outcomes and help reduce climate change.

Yet only six out of ten survey participants understood that wood stores carbon and creates less carbon emissions during production than steel and concrete.

In the light of these �ndings, it’s

good to note that an increasing number of architects who design buildings for healing, learning and relaxation are now incorporating signi�cant amounts of wood into their structures.

New-home builders would be wise to take these �ndings into account and,just like energy ratings, the use of wood could be a signi�cant, credible selling point.

Triple JumpPublisher: Ketchapp

Triple Jump is one of those games that makes the user feel like they are playing one of the easiest games on the app store. What Ketchapp has managed to publish is a game fraught with frustration and addiction.

Triple Jump is a game where the user is a ball on a constantly moving plain. �e user is required to tap the screen in order to jump over spikes. Each jump adds one to your overall score. Coins are randomly generated during the course of the game which the user collects and spends on various “skins” (for 50 coins) to change the character’s appearance.

Triple Jump mimics Dong Nguyen’s “Flappy bird” where the user can play instantly with no learning curve and feel like they can beat their incredibly low scoring �rst try.

One drawback is that upon opening the app for the �rst time, you are bombarded with ads.

While trying Triple Jump, I found myself getting frustrated at how many times it looked like the ball went over a spike yet it registered as a failed attempt.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this app. It feels clunky and the ads are overbearing.

Blake James reviews some new free game apps

TALKING APPS

Try HarderPublisher: [adult swim]

Try Harder is a 2d game published by “[adult swim]” where the user is a character that jumps over certain obstacles while constantly on the run. �e objective is to run as far as possible before dying. �ere are certain methods the user has to perform in order to advance to further stages of the game.

Di�erent methods include single jumping, double jumping, collecting a certain power-up or holding your �nger down to use a glider which would safely sail you down a cli� and over a pool of lava.

�e game draws on an adventurous art and Mario-esque platformer gameplay style. It’s fast-paced and very �uid. �e game sounds are quality and are in line with the overall feel of the game.

Overall, I rate Try Harder highly and de�nitely recommend checking out.

Threes! FreePublisher: Sirvo LLC

�rees! Free is an addictive puzzle game published by “Sirvo LLC”. �e game has very similar mechanics to the widely popular “2048” published by Ketchapp.

�e game involves you sliding tiles and adding them together to make the biggest number possible to obtain the greatest score. For example, sliding the six tile into another six will produce a 12 tile. You can only add tiles together that have the same value.

�e game works really well and doesn’t require you to drop a cent to enjoy it. However, the app is structured in a way that you only have a certain amount of tries before you must watch an ad for no more than 30 seconds or alternatively you can buy the game and have unlimited tries.

Overall, this is a must-have for puzzle lovers or for someone who just likes to kill some time while enjoying a well-made app.

Into the DeadPublisher: Prodigy Design Limited

“Prodigy Design Limited” has managed to publish an intense, fast-paced and blood-pumping action zombie survival game that will put you on the edge of your seat.

Basically, you play as a character who has survived a helicopter crash and the aim of the game is to run as far as you can through a �eld of zombies without getting eaten.

�e game is based on a freemium model which works well considering most of the purchasable items are purely “cosmetic” and aren’t necessary to advance further in the game.

You can choose to have an animal companion which is a perk bought with virtual currency that you get from each run. �e further distance you travel per run, the more virtual currency you obtain.

Overall, I wouldn’t recommend Into the Dead for children under 15 but would highly recommend it to anyone who loves the zombie genre.


SPORT

East Sunbury’s progress continues by the week in Essendon District Football League division 2.

Having already won more matches than the two previous years’ combined, the �under added another �rst to this year’s achievements at the weekend.

Playing Keilor Park, the �under recorded its �rst victory against a side other than Burnside Heights and was the better side from early in the game.

But it had to survive a last-quarter comeback for its 11.10 (76) –10.9 (69) win.

�under coach Steve Grey didn’t know whether his side had what it took to hold o� the last-quarter comeback.

“We led all day before they hit the front halfway through the last,” Grey said.

“I really didn’t think we had it in us to respond.

“�ey were running across the ground and had the momentum of the game.”

Losing the lead seemed to be what the �under needed to switch back on.

“From then, we controlled the game,” Grey said. “Ash Fleming, Kamen Ogilvie and Jason King showed their experience and won the footy at the right times.

“Ash kicked the goal to put us back in front. We kept the composure, and showed the belief that we can win these games, that we can win when the chips are down.”

Grey said King, Ayden Smith and Matt Rei�el had come to the fore in the past month.

“In that time, they’ve really come a long way. �is group has come on leaps and bounds,” Grey said.

“�e attitude, discipline … and they have been working well together.’

�e win cements the �under’s sixth spot on the ladder.

Grey isn’t content to settle with three wins for the season.

“With four weeks to go, there are a couple of sides we think we can beat.

“I’d like to get two wins from the �nal four rounds and upset some teams,” he said.

“�is win gives us con�dence for not only the rest of the year but next year.

“At the start of this year, I said we wanted to win four to six games and if we can get a couple more wins we will take that,” he said.

“We’ve done better than a lot of people expected.”

Thunder laps up better days

Lions ready to roar into �nals contentionDisjointed is the word the Sunbury Lions use to describe their �rst 12 rounds of the Ballarat Netball League season.

A combination of new players, Victorian Netball League commitments and two players having babies has meant the Lions haven’t had a full squad to choose from this season. Despite this, the team is sitting fourth on the ladder, 8-4.

Defender Rebecca Anstey said considering the interrupted start, it was all positive so far.

Anstey, who’s own late start was due to having a baby, was one of three players who remained from last year’s team, which �nished runners-up.

“�ere is a really good feel around the club,” Anstey said.

“We have a lot of young girls coming into the team and each of the younger girls have been good in their own right. We have three strong

shooters, three strong defenders and strength in the midcourt, we have a lot of depth.”

She said that depth had proved to be the side’s strength as they prepare to make �nals again.

“It’s a little trial and error to �nd the strongest line-up. �e way we might line up may be di�erent from one week to another.”

First-year coach Adam Boldiston said it was good to have players such as Anstey and Prue Stanley in the side.

“Beck has done well to get back on court so soon a�er a C-section and is starting to get her footwork back.

“Prue was a di�erent situation with a surrogate from America [having her baby] so she missed �ve to six weeks.

“�eir presence and leadership on the court is something we miss when they aren’t there.

“As I haven’t coached against all of these Chloe Curran takes a strong catch against Redan. (Shawn Smits)

sides before, I go to them to ask what they can tell me about them.”

He said he hoped to have a full team within the next month.

“We are starting to see a more settled line-up. We’ll be able to have a few more training sessions together to work on things.”

Boldiston said he was excited with what he has seen so far

“While the majority of the side is VNL players they are very young. Without Prue and Beck the eldest is 22. �ere’s a good blend of youth and experience.”

On Saturday the Lions defeated Redan 45-37.

Tara Murray

By Tara Murray

Macedon was able to do something it hadn’t all year in the Riddell District Football League on Saturday.

�e Cats had struggled to play the full four quarters in games against sides in the top six and su�ered four close losses as a consequence.

On Saturday, against the Sunbury Kangaroos, that changed as the Cats made the better of a mud heap to record a 4.8 (32)–1.7 (13) win.

For coach Je� Andrews, it was a relief to get a win against one of the top sides.

He said getting back on the winners’ list against Woodend-Hesket the week before had been a big con�dence booster.

“It’s a step in the right direction,” Andrews said.

“It was in the back of my mind [losing to the top sides] and I didn’t want it to happen again.

“You could tell a�er the game that the players are starting to believe they can match it with the top sides.”

Andrews said his side dominated the low-scoring a�air.

“It was horrendous conditions with the ground just mud a�er it rained all day Friday,” he said.

“Scoring was always going to be hard to come by, but our backline still did an amazing job.

“In hindsight, we were in control of the game but in a low-scoring a�air they only needed to kick a couple of goals and everything would have changed.”

Shaun Harrison was best on ground for the Cats with Andrews saying he did a brilliant job in conditions that “aren’t his forte”.

Jason Cooke was the only multiple goalscorer, with two.

For the Kangaroos, captain Daniel Gregory featured most strongly.

Both teams sit equal sixth on 36 points with the Cats ahead on percentage.

Broadford, seventh, is a game behind both sides.

�is week, the Cats face Romsey, which su�ered a shock loss to Riddell.

�e Bombers are quickly becoming premiership favourites, having knocked o� four of the top six sides in the past month.

On Saturday, a seven-goal-to-one second quarter by the Bombers was the catalyst for the 14.12 (96) - 8.6 (54) win.

�e other games went as expected with Diggers Rest, Broadford and Rupertswood having massive victories over Kilmore, Woodend-Hesket and Rockbank, respectively.

Lance�eld won by 12 points over Wallan in the other game.

Cats’ belief topped up

Shaun Harrison shone in the muddy conditions. (Shawn Smits)

Football isn’t just for the young … and a group of ‘masters’ from Woodend wants to take to the �eld to prove it.

More than 30 men aged 35-plus have already expressed interest in joining the newly formed Woodend Masters Football team.

Daron Jacks said the club, backed by Woodend-Hesket Football Club, would have a scratch match on August 23 against Maryborough.

“�e league [Victorian Country Masters Football League] wants to make sure we have enough numbers to �eld a side,” Jacks said.

“At the moment we have about 30 men, but we need around 40 for the team, due to time commitments and availability.

“�ere are di�erent faces each week at training. We’re �nding some wives are sending their husbands down.

“We are encouraging people to come down to training and see if they enjoy it.

“We’re a�er trainers and people to help o�-�eld as well.”

Jacks said the club wanted to play �ve to six games next year.

“We can pick and choose the number of games we play,” he said. “We’d rather nominate to play �ve to six than bite o� more than we can chew.”

Gisborne and Sunbury already have Masters teams. �e Woodend team trains from 6.30pm, Fridays, at Bu�alo Stadium.

Master minds get togetherBy Tara Murray

Romsey made sure no one will forget this side come �nals time, a�er a nail-biting draw with ladder-leaders Riddell.

Riddell entered the Riddell District Netball League game having won all its matches this season, while the Redbacks have been towards the bottom half of the top six.

In a shock, the Redbacks managed to match the Bombers, with �nal scores 48-48.

It was a game which neither side could control, with the Bombers leading by two at quarter-time, and then the Redbacks ahead by one goal at half-time.

Scores were level, 40-40, entering the �nal quarter.

�e two sides went goal for goal in a low-scoring �nal quarter, with both sides applying plenty of pressure.

Defenders Jena Baboth and Stephanie Barnes were among the best for the Redbacks, with Hope Hamilton scoring 38 goals.

For the Bombers, goal shooter Mikaela Vaughan was best, with 31 goals.

In other results, Lance�eld defeated Wallan, 44-26, to put a dint in the Magpies’ �nals hopes.

It was one-sided results in other games.A�er an interrupted couple of weeks,

Macedon returned to the winners’ list with a 75-17 win over Sunbury Kangaroos.

Rebecca Colwell scored 62 goals for the Cats.Rupertswood was too good for Rockbank,

winning 69-19.Defenders Kirsten Daley and Tess Abbott

were best on court for the Sharks, while Amy Starzer (37 goals) and Lucy Batina (32 goals) shared the goals around.

In the other game, Diggers Rest helped keep its �nals hopes alive, with a 66-29 win over Kilmore.

Roo coach to step aside after premiership campaignSunbury Kangaroos coach Chris Meacham will stand down at the end of the Riddell District Football League season.

Meacham told Star Weekly he made the Star Weekly he made the Star Weeklydecision �ve weeks ago, with the need to have shoulder surgery being a major reason.

Meacham said surgery, which he will have a�er season’s end, would have meant missing a lot of next year’s pre-season had he decided to continue in the job.

Last year, he stood down for the second half of the season a�er a farming accident meant he needed knee and shoulder surgery.

“I need to have another shoulder reconstruction,” he said. “People look at me and think I’m OK, but I need more surgery for pain management.

“I’m going to need to have a shoulder replacement in years to come.”

Meacham said it would also be good for the club to have a di�erent voice.

“Last season I stood down because of the accident. �is time it’s not just because of surgery,” he said.

“I’ve been here six years and it’s time the boys had a di�erent voice telling them what to do.

“Having a year o� will bene�t me and it will bene�t the club.

“I’m leaving them in a good position with a good list.”

For now, chasing another premiership is the aim for Meacham and the Kangaroos.

Meacham was co-coach of the club’s 2012 premiership side when he kicked the winning goal.

�e Kangaroos are sixth on the ladder a�er losing their past three matches.

On Saturday, they lost to Macedon 4.8 (32) - 1.7 (13).

“We’re are still chasing that premiership,” he said. “We need at least two more wins in the �nal rounds to make �nals; I’m con�dent we can achieve that.”

�e club has invited Meacham to play a role on the club’s committee a�er his coaching job ends.

�e hunt to replace him has begun, with the club looking for an experienced coach to take over the role.

It’s hoping to have someone appointed before the end of the present season.

Sunbury Jets’ women’s side won’t make �nals, but there has been massive improvement on last year’s Big V division 1 performance.

�e Jets look set to �nish sixth or seventh, a long way from the wooden spoon ‘won’ in 2014.

�e �nal game of the year is on Saturday night against Hawthorn.

Coach Michael �omas said it was disappointing not to make �nals.

“�ere are lots of positives … the new girls Genevieve McCorkell, Leanne Urbon and Kelsey Sigl have settled in really well, and there’s been major development with some of the younger girls.”

�omas said a mid-year slump was the di�erence between missing and making �nals.

“Early on, we had some really good wins against Geelong and Mildura when we clicked together,” he said. “We then had a couple of tough losses in the middle of the year.

“We struggled with the chemistry as we tried di�erent things.”

�omas said a big positive was the development of some of the younger players.

“Tamara Knox has played most of the year and played really well. Alex Darby has stepped up into the senior side.

“Chloe Angove is not even in our youth side. She is in our under-18 side. She has become available, and has played the last four games.”

He said having an import for the �rst time in Kelsey Sigl has also been a success, with the club looking at having another import next year.

“�e side has a budget for next year to have an import again. It will be Kelsey or someone else like her. We need to look at whether she wants to come back again.”

�omas said while they will only win two or three more games than last year, 2015 has seen a big improvement.

“�ere’s always going to be improvement when you �nished on the bottom of the ladder. �ere’s a big gap to make up, and other teams have improved too.

“Finishing sixth or seventh is a signi�cant improvement,” �omas said.

On Saturday night, the Jets tested top side Whittlesea Pacers. A�er a poor start, the Jets trailed by four points at half-time, and ended up losing 92-79.

�omas, who is out of contract at season’s end, said he would like to continue next year.

“We’ve had an average season and an OK season. I want to �nish on a better note.”

Jets regroup after slumpBy Tara Murray

It was heartbreak for the Sunbury Lions as they tried to hold on against a fast-�nishing Redan in the Ballarat Football League.

In a match honouring MH17 �ight victims Maree and Albert Rizk, the Lions were the better team for most of the day, holding the lead until late in the �nal quarter before falling short, 16.7 (103) - 17.5 (107).

As Redan was coming at the Lions in the last quarter, a free kick and goal Redan’s way at the 20-minute mark was the turning point.

�e Lions led by 20 points when Redan got the goal to bring it back to 14 points.

A push and shove a�er the goal resulted in a Redan player sprawled on the ground, and he was given a free kick in front of goal without the ball returning to the middle.

Not only did he kick the goal and reduce the margin to eight points but defender Adam Short was given a yellow card and sent from the �eld, leaving the Lions a man down.

Redan kicked two goals a�er that, including the sealer with two minutes to go.

Lions coach Rick Horwood said he was proud of his side’s performance against top-of-the-table Redan.

“I thought we had it,” he said in the rooms a�er the game.

“But we dropped o� with our discipline, and good sides will hurt you when you do that. It was a valuable lesson … we paid the ultimate price.

“I’m really disappointed for the players and the club. It came down to a second goal from a free kick.”

Horwood said it was almost a perfect �rst half, as the Lions led by 34 points at the main break.

“Our endeavour, attack on the footy, keeping to structure … it wasn’t the perfect half but wasn’t far from it. I was really rapt with how we went about it.

“For us to push a top-of-the-ladder side, it shows we’re learning to stick to the game plan, and why can’t we do that next week again?”

Horwood said an eye injury to David Kovasevic in the third quarter was a turning point.

“He got poked in the eye and it was a pretty bad poke.

“It was the turning point of the game, when you go in with only one ruckman and that happens.

“Trent Stead [who went into the ruck] played a good role and took up the challenge. We didn’t lose a great deal, but the mid�eld’s mind changes when you lose your only ruckman.”

Stead and Kovasevic were named among the best players, as were Matthew Medcra�, Andrew Duhau and James Rizk.

“James controlled the game with his ball use and was in our best players on a day that celebrated his parents,” Horwood said.

“To play so well shows character.”

MOTOR

A�er an eight-year hiatus, Honda reintroduced the HR-V to Australia this year to give it a stake in the ever-growing small SUV market. You wonder what took it so long.

�e company had put its weight behind its versatile little Jazz in recent times, so it made sense to draw on its popularity with a crossover vehicle.

Its main rival here is the Nissan Qashqai and, like its competitor, it’s nice to look at and drive.

Inside, there’s that Honda quality which gives it an upmarket feel. �e dashboard is similar to the Jazz with clean lines and the 7-inch swipe-able touchscreen that controls and displays multimedia, Bluetooth connections, phone and performance information.

Voice control is available via Siri, if you have an iPhone. You can also sync your iPhone to use Apple Maps, though this feature isn’t available for Android phones. �e only alternative is to use an app that uses a lot of mobile data.

�e touch screen also shows the reverse camera display and features “LaneWatch”, which provides a rear view down the passenger side when you indicate to turn or change lanes to the le�.

I found this a little distracting at �rst but eventually found it no di�erent to looking at the side mirror, which Honda recommends you continue to check.

�is, like the reverse camera, makes up for the poor rearward visibility.

As with most other Honda models, the climate control panel is also touchscreen-

controlled, which can be a little tricky while you’re driving.

As you’d expect from Honda the interior design makes good use of space. �ere’s plenty of elbow-room and the seats are comfortable with nice back support.

Legroom at the back is good, too, although the curved roo�ine means headspace is pretty tight for anyone on the tallish side.

�e HR-V features Honda’s multi-adjustable Magic Seats in the rear, which give it an edge over most of its rivals in terms of capacity. It’s

just a quick adjustment to turn from a small wagon into a mini-van van with 1032 litres of cargo space.

�e HR-V steers nicely and the continuously variable automatic transmission generally slips through gears seamlessly. It’s only when you put your foot down that the 1.8-litre petrol engine, which comes from a Honda Civic, screams in protest as the transmission tries to catch up. One way around this is to go down a gear in semi-manual mode via the paddle shi�ers.

Fuel economy is excellent, with a published combined rate or 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres, which would be the case if you keep rapid acceleration and downshi�ing to a minimum.

Prices for the HR-V start at $28,343 for the VT-i.

�is may seem pricey for its class, but few of its competitors’ base models would come with the same features and interior quality as standard.

RED 2013 HOLDEN VE SS-Z COMMODORE UTE


By Derek Ogden

�e Holden Colorado 7 has been upgraded to match on the street its outstanding o�-road capability.

�is is most evident in the top-of-the-range Colorado 7 LTZ diesel automatic, which goes to market at $50,990 plus on-road costs.

With its contemporary twin grille with mesh inserts, and chrome surrounds, the Colorado 7 LTZ has rugged looks to match its o�-road ability.

But with the latest in projector lighting up front, chrome power fold mirrors and door handles, fog lamp surrounds and window detailing, it’s not out of place among the latest automotive city slickers.

Colorado LTZ models exude an air of luxury inside the cabin, with additions including heated leather-trim seats (optional on Colorado LTZ Crew Cab).

Enhanced surroundings come via an upgraded instrument panel, centre console and so�-touch door trims and armrest, while the centre stack and steering wheel trims are now a premium piano black.

�rough Holden’s MyLink, drivers can connect to Bluetooth and access apps keeping them tuned into music, news and navigation.

At �rst glance there appears to be no satellite navigation via the 7-inch touch screen. But on closer inspection, Colorado owners can access a navigation app called BringGo.

Embedded apps include Pandora, Stitcher and TuneIn, allowing owners to create their own personal stations.

Under the bonnet, the 2.8-litre Duramax 2 diesel engine o�ers more power and torque than the previous version.

It’s combined with a six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel economy remains the same, or is slightly better, than across the

range of SUVs and trucks. Active Select allows the driver to shi� gears manually via the centre console-mounted gear lever.

Chassis control systems such as trailer sway control, hill start assist and descent control give the driver con�dence in

di�cult situations on and o� road. �e more re�ned MY15 Colorado 7 maintains a �ve-star ANCAP safety rating, with front driver and passenger airbags and full-length curtain airbags, the latter extending to the third row.

Electronic stability control, ABS anti-lock braking with electronic brake force distribution and hydraulic brake assist are complemented by rear park assist and a reversing camera, making the wagon one of the safest of its kind.

O� the mark, the Colorado 7 doesn’t set the pulse racing, but once up to speed the big SUV is in no danger of being le� behind in town or country tra�c.

Grabbing the gear lever and taking charge of shi�s adds little to the driving experience.

In 50 kilometres of urban action, the Colorado 7 diesel consumption ranged between 13 and 15 litres per 100 kilometres.

Over a similar distance on the motorway, the �gure �oated between 5 and 6 litres per 100 kilometres – this is the consummate cruiser.

�e “7” in the Colorado’s name refers to its seven-seat capability. Seating arrangements include a second row 60:40 three-seat bench and 50:50 separate seats in the third row. All seats are on the �rm side and could wear out their welcome on a long run.

Holden has successfully done what it set out to do – add improvements to its Colorado 7 SUV that smooth out facets of its o�-road ruggedness and broaden its appeal by making it more family-friendly.
