Olinda, Victoria: Travel guide and things to do - January 29, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

Olinda is a small and rather beautiful settlement located 44 km east of the Melbourne city centre atop Mt Dandenong. It is noted for its scenic situation and its many art, antique and handicraft galleries. The golf course on the Olinda-Monbulk Rd offers excellent views.

The Wurrundjeri people once inhabited this area, passing on to Yarra Valley where they passed their summers on the banks of the Yarra River. The first European known to set foot in the Dandenongs was botanist Daniel Bunce who was drawn from Melbourne by the image of the looming western slopes in 1839. Guided by a party of Aboriginal people he climbed Mt Corhanwarrabul (628 metres) and Mt Dandenong (633 metres) - the two highest peaks in the ranges. Bourkes Lookout (see subsequent entry) is now situated atop the former.

The first European settlers in the Olinda area were the Holden family who camped on the slopes from 1855 and felled mountain ash until the turn of the century. Official settlement began in the 1870s and fruit-growing accompanied timbergetting. Guest houses and tea rooms were established to encourage tourists when fruit prices fell.

Olinda was the only settlement in the hills to be formally laid out thanks largely to the efforts of John Dodd who opened the first shop in the main street in 1893. Distinguished Australian artist Arthur Streeton bought a house here in the 1920s. Novelist Arthur Upfield stayed at a lodge on Mount Dandenong in 1938 and used the area as the setting for two of his detective novels, The Devil's Step (1946) and An Author Bites the Dust (1948).

Markets are held at Olinda on the second Sunday of each month.

Tourist Information The Dandenong Ranges and Knox Tourism Information Centre is located at 1211 Burwood Highway atUpper Ferntree Gully, tel: (03) 9758 7522.

The National Rhododendron Gardens The National Rhododendron Gardens attract 50 000 to 60 000 visitors annually. They are set in a natural amphitheatre of mountain ash, oaks, maples and beeches which tower over 43 ha of outstanding botanic gardens which are home to 15 000 rhododendrons, 12 000 azaleas, 250 000 daffodils, cherry tree groves and laburnums, all of which blossom in spring. The 3000 camellias are best seen in winter and there are also proteas, magnolias and Japanese maples. Birdlife includes the superb lyrebird, king parrots, crimson rosellas and peacocks. Ducks and geese can be fed in the lake.

Self-guide walk signs open up the possibility of a full three-hour exploration or you can simply pursue shorter subsections. The paths offer outstanding views of the Australian Alps which form a backdrop to the east, beyond Silvan Reservoir Park (see entry onKalorama).

Booze, bikinis and barbies: No festival hangover for Tamworth as city embraces Australia Day spirit - January 26, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

Jan. 27, 2015, 4 a.m.

AUSTRALIA Day 2015 in Tamworth, as across the nation on our national day, has the cheek to be irreverent, larrikin and laidback.

AUSTRALIA Day 2015 in Tamworth, as across the nation on our national day, has the cheek to be irreverent, larrikin and laidback.

As well there was a fair bit of music overhang, as Tamworth showed it still had an overflow of great energy to celebrate Australia Day yesterday,bookending the 10-day Tamworth Country Music Festival and rounding it off in style.

People were out and about at pools, parks and dams, playing cricket,eating off Australia Day plates and drinking out of Australia Day cups.

Some, like Darren Wilcox and all his bachelor and spinster mates who had attended theTamworth Ute Show the day prior at Tamworth Showground, decided to go all out in Mr Wilcoxs paddock.

They strapped three gazebos together, marked out a cricket pitch, set up two splash pools for their children and barbecued up a storm from 6am, starting with lashings of bacon and eggs.

Mr Wilcox said the15 utes and 20-strong gathering had attracted a fair bit of attention from passers-by, as people had been stopping to take photos of them.

Its probably the best one weve done for a while, Mr Wilcox said.

Urbana park to receive $20K in improvements - January 24, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

The city of Urbana will receive more than $20,000 in state funding to make upgrades to Melvin Miller Park.

The grant is part of $2.8 million in NatureWorks grants approved by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources to assist communities across Ohio develop and improve public access to outdoor recreation facilities.

Urbana officials will receive about $20,400 to replace fences around adult softball fields No. 1 and No. 2 at Melvin Miller Park, which were opened in the 1960s and early 1970s, said Parks and Recreation Superintendent Chris Stokes.

Theres holes in them, the poles are leaning and everything is curled up on the bottom. Theyre in bad shape, Stokes said.

NatureWorks will provide 75 percent of the money for the project. Urbana will pay the remaining 25 percent, or nearly $7,000, which will come out of the Capital Improvement Fund, Stokes said.

These grants will allow communities to increase green space, update playground equipment and picnic areas and spend time with their families, which helps improve the quality of life for everyone that calls our great state home, said ODNR Director James Zehringer in a press release.

Urbanas Melvin Miller Park is one of 80 community-based projects that will receive NatureWorks grant money.

The grants will support the acquisition of more than 23 acres of green space, the development or improvement of 21 playgrounds, 12 shelters and gazebos, seven park restrooms, two spray-splash pads, a skate park and dozens of other local improvement projects that will help make Ohios park infrastructure more enjoyable for all Ohioans, according to ODNR.

Stokes said officials hope to replace the fences in the spring.

Theyre quite old and in disrepair and overdue for having them replaced, Stokes said.
