Sunbury and Diggers Rest commuters will be able to access 73 new Metro train services a week and continue to board most V/Line services aer the state government backed down from hotly contested public transport changes.

During a visit to Sunbury station on Friday, Public Transport Minister Jacinta Allan said that from January 1 passengers would be able to board all but two V/Line services the packed 4.25pm and 5.04pm weekday trains.

All Metro trains from 7pm will also be extended to Diggers Rest and Sunbury.

e extra Metro services are in addition to 10 peak services added earlier this year.

In just over a month, locals will have more than 80 extra Metro services and access to almost every V/Line train that stops at Sunbury or Diggers Rest, Ms Allan said.

e latest changes follow a long-running saga in which commuters and community leaders slammed the government for ripping 200 V/Line services out of the town.

Western Metropolitan Liberal MP Bernie Finn said the reversal of the changes was a major victory for Sunbury.

Together we have fought hard and together we have won, he said.

As reported by Star Weekly, a controversial timetable announced by Public Transport Victoria in May removed Sunbury as a pick-up station for Bendigo trains travelling to Melbourne in the morning peak.

It also removed Sunbury as a drop-o station for evening peak trains going north.

Both the Liberal and Labor parties had promised commuters continuity of services following electrication of the line to Sunbury in 2012.

A major survey completed by the Sunbury Train Association, which was formed following an outpouring of complaints, found many commuters would be negatively aected by the planned restrictions.

More than 200 people attended a public meeting in Sunbury involving Ms Allan in October. On Friday, she said the latest changes meant Sunbury passengers would have the best of both worlds.

Its a big win for passengers and shows the importance of having a government that listens and invests in public transport, she said.

Train backdown: passengers win

By Matt Crossman

Wildlife volunteers have been praised aer rescuing four kangaroos trapped in an uncovered minesha near Trentham.

e two-hour operation began aer bushwalkers noticed the nose of a kangaroo appearing from a hole in Wombat State Forest about 6.30pm on November 22.

A team from Five Freedoms Animal Rescue was called to help pull the native animals to safety.

Operator Manfred Zabinskas said he was amazed that the kangaroo had been able to get up high enough to be seen.

It was really weird because that sha was ve to six metres deep, he said.

Basically they were just walking through the forest and they saw this kangaroos nose poking up from the hole.

ey went to investigate and found there were three other kangaroos down there.

Mr Zabinskas said the incident was made more unusual because the minesha was partially covered by a fallen tree.

Its not really in an open position, he said. Its almost like the kangaroos went

for shelter under this fallen tree and theyve slipped in. How all four have slipped in is beyond me.

He said the roos condition indicated they had been down the sha for at least 24 hours.

ey were pretty beat up, he said. e biggest problem we had was that one of the kangaroos was really large, a male about 80 kilograms, and he was jumping to try and escape. It looks like hes landed on top of the other kangaroos each time he did that.

One of the animals, a female, had to be euthanased due to serious injuries including a broken tail, exposed bone and damage to internal organs.

A joeys got a few broken bits including wrists and ribs while the other male seemed to have mostly supercial injuries, Mr Zabinskas said. eyre now being taken care of and were reasonably condent they will do OK.

e rescue prompted an outpouring of support on social media, with animal lovers applauding the rescuers and the bushwalkers who found the kangaroos.

Macedon Ranges Wildlife Network data shows 1292 kangaroos were rescued by volunteers last year, up from 1064 in 2013.

or on income support, are denitely nding it hard, and rent is a major part of that, he said.

We do have people come in who are all up to date with their bills, but the rent is taking such a large amount that theyve got no money for things like food and petrol.

Mr Austin said it was crucial that people who found themselves drowning nancially sought help early.

Many Sunbury and Macedon Ranges households are forking out more than 30 per cent of their income for rent, Australias rst rental aordability index reveals.

e report, prepared by national economics and community banking groups, listed Kyneton and Woodend among towns where rents were unaordable, with the average tenant spending almost a third of their weekly budget on housing.

e report stated this was dened as housing stress, aecting tenants ability to also pay for food, water, school and power bills.

While average rents in Sunbury, Gisborne, Riddells Creek, Romsey and Lanceeld were considered to be generally aordable, CareWorks SunRanges manager Michael Austin said many renters were under signicant nancial pressure.

Mr Austin said job losses and increases in housing costs and living expenses were leading to more people seeking help from organisations such as the Sunbury-based support service.

Figures show CareWorks helped 1215 clients in the year to October, up from 1189 in 2014.

Steep rents put tenants under stress

By Matt Crossman

Bicycle safety campaigners have pleaded with motorists to look out for cyclists and pass them with care aer a Riddells Creek teen was hit by a car.

Bike Safe Macedon Ranges has also repeated calls to increase funding for awareness initiatives and a feasibility study for an o-road path between Riddells Creek and Gisborne.

Dana Frew said her son Darcy, 16, was riding home on Somerville Lane, near Sandy Creek Road, when he was knocked o his bike by a dirty, white Ford Falcon sedan.

While my son lay on the side of the road, the driver honked his horn and drove o, Ms Frew said in a Facebook post that has been shared at least 100 times since November 18.

She told Star Weekly that while a majority of drivers respected cyclists, there are some idiots out there that think its acceptable to play with peoples lives.

Darcy suered some scratches and bruises, but apart from taking a hit to his condence is otherwise okay.

We were lucky it was a clear bit of the road, Ms Frew said.

Ms Frew, who reported the incident to police, said it appeared to have been a deliberate act.

He was on a small side road and he could hear a car coming up behind him quite slowly, so he had a quick look to see where it was, Ms Frew said. He gured because it was going so slow, it was going to turn, cause he was near a crossroad.

He didnt take too much note of it the next thing he knew he was on the ground.

It just makes us very conscious that there are dangers out there on the road, even if your children are very careful.

Macedon Ranges highway patrol Sergeant Geo Neil said people had to be courteous of others, regardless of their mode of transport.

Were in an area that cyclists enjoy riding in, and motorists and other road users, generally, share that space, he said.

Bike Safe secretary Amanda Calvert said some drivers werent getting the message.

e release of an independent investigation into Octobers Lanceeld-Cobaw bushre has led to heated debate in State Parliament.

Labor and Liberal MPs went back and forth last week aer the inquiry found the 266-hectare planned burn that ignited on September 30 had been inadequately resourced from the start.

e burn broke containment lines on October 3 and again on October 6. Close to 3000 hectares were eventually burnt. Four houses, 25 sheds and thousands of kilometres of fencing were destroyed.

Opposition leader Matthew Guy last week asked why Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning secretary Adam Fennessy was in Lanceeld to apologise to residents on November 19, not Premier Daniel Andrews, despite many previous visits to the town.

Mr Andrews said the government had never shied away from the fact that things had gone wrong.

We are deeply sorry for the fact that errors were made, he said.

ere were 22 recommendations, and every single one of them will be implemented.

Responding to complaints about insurance processing, Mr Andrews said 58 claims had been lodged, with 15 payments ready to be made last week.

e rest will be dealt with as quickly as possible.

Gembrook MP Brad Battin took aim at Environment Minister Lisa Neville, who previously said the grand nal Friday public holiday had no impact on stang decisions.

e inquiry found 12 sta were rostered for the controlled burn on October 2, compared to 30 the day before.

Ms Neville said the report made clear that risk assessment was awed from the start.

ey under-estimated the risk, and that went to the question of resources, she said.

It is not a question about grand nal Friday at all.

In a statement, Macedon MP Mary-Anne omas said what happened with the planned burn was unacceptable.

Many residents and families are still dealing with the consequences, she said, vowing to monitor the implementation of the reports recommendations.

Old res re-igniteHigh winds stirred up large clouds of smoke near the area affected by Octobers Lanceeld bushre. Fireghting trucks and a helicopter were deployed after logs within the burnt area began smouldering again last Wednesday. Authorities said patrols of the area will continue. Fireghters from towns as far away as Sunbury and Diggers Rest also responded to private burnoffs at Mount Macedon and Gisborne, which also reignited due to the strong winds. The CFA warned people to check old burnoff piles.

Servo case at VCATWoodend objectors to plans for a service station development took their battle to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal last Wednesday. Food and petrol giant Coles Express appealed a Macedon Ranges council decision to reject its application for a servo at 59 High Street. In May, councillors heard objections relating to trafc, the proposed size of the development and its potential affect on town character.

Sunbury and Macedon Ranges residents have put their hands up and promised to speak out to prevent violence against women.

People turned out in large numbers to support a series of events marking last Wednesdays White Ribbon Day.

About 30 people put their handprint on a large canvas outside Macedon Ranges Health at Gisborne in a brightly coloured show of support for the global campaign.

Cobaw Community Health sta hit the streets of Kyneton, distributing posters and urging people to take an oath to stand up, speak out and act, while Macedon Ranges

councillors and sta were among those who signed an anti-violence pledge.

A White Ribbon breakfast at Kyneton featured speakers including No to Violence chief executive Jacqui Watt and Macedon Ranges Family Laws Megan Puszkar. A charity fundraiser included a performance by comedian Jean Kittson at Sunbury Bowling Club. Family Violence Prevention Minister Fiona Richardson, police and health workers, will meet Kyneton Secondary College students this Friday.

Another incident involving the boom gates at Gap Road in Sunbury has reignited calls for a third railway crossing in town.

Police expect to charge a truck driver aer a boom gate was broken when he stopped halfway across the crossing, leading to major trac and train delays on Wednesday.

Motorists were stuck at the crossing for almost an hour aer the incident took place about 4pm and rail services were disrupted

Sunbury Residents Association has previously called for a third railway crossing, towards Vineyard Road, to ease trac congestion.

As reported by Star Weekly in October, the Star Weekly in October, the Star Weeklyintersection and crossing were not mentioned in VicRoads latest priority list.

Association president Bernie OFarrell said ursdays incident was further proof urgent action was needed.

Weve been campaigning for at least 15 years, he said. ey keep saying it will be considered

well into the night. Witnesses said the truck driver appeared to have been impatient with congestion caused by the notorious roundabout at Gap Road and Horne Street.

Instead of waiting until he had clearance, he decided to try hurry the cars in front, said one motorist, who did not want to be named.

He stopped halfway across the tracks and when the boomgate went down, it got stuck on his roof.

He decided to reverse back but ripped it in half.

but nothing gets done. With the population growing, theyve got to get on with it.

About 27,000 vehicles travel on Horne Street each day and 18,000 on Gap Road. Vehicle numbers and boom gates at the level crossing 200 metres south of the intersection result in signicant trac disruptions, especially during school and work peak hours.

A spokesman for Roads Minister Luke Donnellan last month denied there had been indecision about the intersection, pointing to a $15,000 planning study that began in June.

e state government has been handed some poor marks in a post-election report card from the Sunbury Residents Association (SRA).

But Sunbury Labor MP Josh Bull has released a list of his own, saying the 12 months since the state election had been a long year of hard work and great accomplishment.

Not surprisingly, the pro-split SRA marked the government down for its decision to accept the advice of independent auditors and reverse legislation that would have given Sunbury its own council.

Broken promise Labor said in November 2014 they supported Sunbury out of Hume, the report card said.

e SRA said the government also failed by allowing changes that bar Sunbury passengers from catching V/Line services, and criticised perceived inaction about the closed Victoria University campus at Jacksons Hill.

e government was given a B for $3 million in future funding for a science wing at Sunbury College, an A for the Melbourne Metro rail project, and an A+ for cheaper zone 2 public transport fares.

Mr Bull again defended the decision to abandon the Sunbury split, saying other achievements include the $1.3 billion Tullamarine Freeway widening, an extra $2 million for Sunbury schools and a $2.3 million upgrade of Riddell Road.

is government has kept its word, Mr Bull said.

Sunbury scores own result card

By Matt Crossman

Restaurateurs and shopkeepers believe that a Sunbury streets reputation as a premier dining precinct will spread far and wide following a $2.1 million redevelopment.

Fairy lights installed in trees along OShanassy Street were switched on last Friday night, with Hume council and business owners celebrating eorts to encourage people to spend more time, and money, in the area.

Carmel Scerri, of Vics Food and Wine, said upgrades, including new footpaths, a second pedestrian crossing and landscaping, had transformed the street.

OShanassy Street used to be referred to as the dark little sister of Evans Street thats no longer, she said. When people think of Sunbury now, they think of the restaurants in OShanassy Street.

Powerlines have been moved underground, and kerbs and drainage upgraded as part of the project. Wider paths will give traders more room for outdoor tables, umbrellas and chairs.

e council has also approved new policies to allow businesses to set up permanent structures. Mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou said the lights would help showcase the mature elms that are a prominent part of the street.

ey will create a wonderful ambience as residents dine, and will also leave a positive impression in the minds of visitors, she said.

Humes recent works will help the Sunbury street be one of the truly great restaurant strips.

Ms Scerri said while works had been an inconvenience for shoppers and businesses, the gains would be signicant.

Before, people would say we cant get in here or cant get in there, well well just go to Melbourne, she said. Now weve got a lot of really good restaurants it draws them all in.

Lights on, tables turn

Were trying our damndest to do whats best for our town and were doing it extremely well.

ats the philosophy outgoing Sunbury Community Health chairwoman Mary Rush says led to the organisation being recognised as the premiers primary health service of the year.

News of the major state award added to the celebratory feel of the services 40th annual meeting last week.

Ms Rush, who will remain on the board, said that while waves of population growth posed challenges, the award win was proof SCH was meeting community needs.

We believe weve been an award-winning centre for all 40 years, she said.

When you actually sit down and assess your organisation our application was amazing in that we do so many of the things the government wants health services to do.

With the support of more than 200 sta and volunteers, SCH provides a long list of programs and services, ranging from early intervention and dental to counselling, walking groups, diabetes education and aged care.

Ms Rush said partnerships with Hume council, the governments Healthy Together program and Sunbury Business Association continued to help the service foster health-arming factors such as strong families, social cohesion and mental health, as well as ght the prevalence of risks such as obesity, tobacco, alcohol and drug use, family violence, problem gambling and vulnerabilities arising from low incomes or ageing.

Im most proud of how we are a very strong values-based organisation, she said.

Our philosophy is all about connecting with the community we not only say it, we do it.

A very healthy outlook

Ms Rush, who was full of praise for chief executive Phillip Ripper and his team, said the service had also set itself up for future challenges.

Population growth is going to test our services, absolutely, she said.

It will be across the board, because we

provide services from birth all the way through to aged care.

But now were a company limited by guarantee thats something that gives us stability because weve been able to not be concerned about the threat of being taken over by a large organisation.

Tribute for asbestos campaignerA Macedon Ranges residents efforts to advocate for those suffering from mesothelioma were applauded in federal parliament during Asbestos Awareness Week. McEwen MP Rob Mitchell said while asbestos had been banned since 2003, about 1350 cases of lung cancer caused by the material were diagnosed every year. He said Lou Williams, who lost her father to mesothelioma and has herself battled the disease for the past 13 years, was one tough ghter, who continued to push hard for new medications to be added to the pharmaceutical benets scheme.

Sensory experienceA sensory garden at Riddells Creeks Lions Park was opened by Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas and Macedon Ranges mayor Graham Hackett last week.

A plan to ask Hume residents to pay more than $1200 to install a car parking space in narrow streets has been labelled unjust and a knee-jerk reaction.

Broadmeadows Progress Association member Sonja Rutherford said Hume council had failed to inform the group of its dra parking in narrow streets policy, or of an online survey asking for community feedback.

e survey closed on Monday.e dra policy was created to address

parking shortfalls on some of Humes narrow estate streets where parking on either side of the street blocks through trac.

It also aims to stop residents from parking on nature strips, which is illegal under the Victorian Road Safety Road Rules (2009).

e dra policy includes options to address parking shortfalls, including installing restricted bays on one side of a road or, where the demand for on-street parking exceeds the space that is available, installing indented parking on one side of the street.

Half of the cost of the parking bays would

be paid for by the council, and the other half by property owners. e cost of a single bay is about $2500.

My mouth dropped I couldnt believe it, Ms Rutherford said aer having read the policy.

eyre just side-stepping the issue and passing it onto landowners. Its not the responsibility of the existing landowner, and people wont be able to aord it.

is is just a knee-jerk reaction to a very serious problem, Ms Rutherford said.

e Broadmeadows resident said the issue in Hume was due to developers being given

planning approval to build roads that are too narrow for cars to park either side.

She said multi-unit developers are also building without adequate parking spaces.

Sunbury Residents Association president Bernie OFarrell said the council had failed to inform his association of its dra policy.

He said there might be some residents prepared to pay for indented parking bays.

But in my view, most people would object.Hume councils acting city infrastructure

director David Fricke said council is happy to talk about on-street parking options.

Property prices at Gisborne jumped 26.8 per cent in the year to September, new data released by Domain Group senior economist Andrew Wilson reveals.

Gisborne had the second-highest percentage jump across Melbournes west, behind Strathmore and ahead of Williams Landing and Aberfeldie.

e median price in Gisborne increased to $567,500, putting it ahead of many suburbs in

size, Mr Dunlop said. New estates in towns such as Romsey are also proving popular, with eight houses sold in one day during last months opening of the Lomandra development.

A lack of stock is being felt at Sunbury, but Mr Dunlop said things in the Macedon Ranges were unlikely to slow greatly in the lead-up to Christmas.

Gisborne Real Estate director Janis Paul said while there was plenty of interest in the Gisborne market, it was vital that houses were priced correctly.

the citys west and south-east. Domains gures follow Real Estate Institute of Victoria data, and shows median prices at Gisborne, Kyneton and Woodend performed particularly well in the September quarter.

Veteran agent John Dunlop, of Gisbornes Brad Teal Real Estate, said lifestyle continued to be a major drawcard. e agency has had a strong spring, moving about three or four properties every week.

Its been very busy. What were nding is many people are going for quality, as much as

If its not, they can sit there for what seems like forever, she said. e dierence between asking price and actual sale price now is pretty close.

Ms Paul said houses priced at more than $600,000 were a lot harder to sell.

People have to remember we cannot ask Melbourne prices, because buyers will just go to Melbourne, she said.

ey will only pay so much for a lifestyle, especially if theyve got to go an hour each way in trac.

Which community groups are you currently involved in? I am the secretary for the Friends of Kyneton Museum, secretary of the Carlsruhe Landcare Group, newly appointed secretary of the Upper Campaspe Landcare Network, fundraising member for Carlsruhe CFA and co-ordinator of the Kyneton Antique and Vintage Fair.

I also volunteer at the Macedon Ranges Tourist Information Centre in Kyneton and about 18 months ago I was asked by a good friend of mine if I would come to Melbourne twice monthly to help out at Sacred Hearts dining room in St Kilda.

How do you manage to t so much in?I was 65 when I started my career in volunteering. When I think about it, it looks like I am doing quite a lot, but the day has 24 hours.

I try not to panic and have allocated certain hours in a day to do most of the secretarial work for three of the organisations.

If theres an executive meeting, it mostly happens at one of our wonderful cafes in Kyneton, and who doesnt like a good cup of coee or a delicious light lunch. I like people and aer I retired, I thought to myself that if I didnt get out of the house I would go crazy.

What do you get out of volunteering? It keeps me young and active. I would hate to go stale in mind and body. I am very fond of all the people I am involved with and it is great fun.

MY PLACEDanish by birth, Hanne Juul moved to Carlsruhe from Melbourne 21 years ago. e 70-year-old is one of hundreds of people who will be celebrated by Macedon Ranges council during its annual volunteers dinner this Tuesday. She tells Matt Crossman that becoming a volunteer was one of the best decisions shes made.

What would your advice be to anyone who wants to help but doesnt know where to start?It can be hard if you have a full-time job and

HELP FOR EXCESSIVE SWEATING Excessive underarm sweating, also called axillary hyperhidrosis is a common, annoying and embarrassing problem. The good news is effective and safe treatments are now available.

If antiperspirants dont give you the relief you need, your next option may be Botox (also known as onabotulinumtoxin A). After application of local anaesthetic cream, multiple tiny injections of Botox are delivered to each armpit. This treatment is extremely safe and very effective. Results can last from 7 to 12 months and are repeated as needed.

The cost of Botox treatment for underarm sweating is now partially covered by Medicare. Dr Belinda Welsh and Dr Cara McDonald of Complete Skin Specialists are both accredited providers of this treatment.

Call our rooms or visit our website for more information. Please inform our friendly staff directly so we can organize the right appointment for you. A referral from your GP will be required.

Sunbury Physiotherapy Clinic

Written By:Jace Van Der Westhuizen

APA Physiotherapist

Over the course of an average week in private practice, physiotherapists see many injury presentations in the clinic related to chronic overuse or poorly structured exercise programs. When commencing any exercise program, it is essential that the program is progressive and specific to your goals and needs. For example, it is looking for trouble if you do not have a resistance training (RT) background, to suddenly begin a random program you have seen online that the professionals use. An example of this would be suddenly starting a RT program 5 days per week and working in a 2-4 repetition range without giving thought to sensible and gradual progressions. This is ultimately a recipe for injury. This concept does not only apply for RT, but any forms of training, including running. One of the most common overuse injuries we see in the clinic is shin splints that have resulted from a person not having run in years, but then suddenly starting a running program 5 days a week, 30-40 minutes per session. From an injury management and prevention perspective, it would be helpful if you ask yourself the following questions before commencing any exercise program:

1) Is the program specific and functional to my goals andneeds? In many cases, it does not make sense for manypeople trying to improve their health and fitness, to be doingRT 5 days per week in the 2-4 repetition range as the risks generally outweigh the benefits. Training less frequently andwith slightly lighter weights / higher reps would be a betteroption.2) Is the program structured in a progressive manner? That is, is the intensity level of the program being graduallybuilt up, rather than overloading the body with too muchtoo quickly?3) Is the program suitable at this stage to my build and bodytype? For example, if you are several kilograms overweight,it may make sense to limit running to no more than 2-3 days per week in the early stages, and attempting to lose some weight via other lesser impact activities such as swimming or stationary bike.4. Have I sought the input of a suitably qualified healthprofessional to help me structure an appropriate program?

Now that its ofcially summer strappy sundresses and shorts dominate the wardrobe but, the idea of shedding winter weight can be a daunting one.

The good news is, its never too late to start on the road to a healthier you. And with the sun out longer, you can use this as motivation to update your tness regimes and get beach-ready.

Here are some tips to help you spring into shape this summer.

1. Rain, hail or shine, dont sacrice your training regime. Maintaining good training habits can ensure you stay in shape. If an early morning run is not your thing, signing up to a gym to train can ensure you never miss a work-out session.

2. Reduce your amount of sitting. Doctors recommend you shouldnt sit for more than three hours per day, so preventing long times seated can ensure you burn a few extra calories.

3. Give it time. Everybody wants fast results, but remember you wont see results overnight. Depending on where you start, it could take a few weeks; just remember not to let a lack of immediate results discourage you from continuing. Dedication will eventually see changes and when you do, your condence and motivation will boost you to new levels.

Speech problems in young children are a challenge that highly experienced speech pathologist Fiona Tremlett nds fascinating.

A qualied practitioner of the programs of the Hanen Centre (a Canadian speech specialist research and training organisation), Fiona opened her own practice at Sunburys Family Medical Centre in 2012. A local, she brings a wealth of paediatric knowledge to the centre and is a welcome asset to the community.

She specialises in working with children under three who are late in developing their talking skills.

Some of these children do catch up, she says, but for others it can be a sign of more signicant communication problems or delays in their overall development.

Late speech development can impact future communication and social and literacy skills, she says.

Early assessment and action is vital. Its all about lots of play, lots of patience and being genuinely interested in what and how these children are trying to communicate.

Just like us, young children like to know that someone is really listening to them.

Fionas base, the Family Medical Centre, has been bringing top-notch health care to the community for the past 30 years, and continues to rise to the challenge of meeting diverse health needs.

Her much-needed skill-set further enhances the diversity and professionalism for which the centre has been known for a long time.

Family Medical Centre, 94 OShanassy Street, Sunbury. Opens 7.30am-8pm Monday-Friday and 9am-3pm Saturday. Inquiries: 9744 6222 or www.familymedicalcentre.com.au

A timber deck out back looks over the low maintenance backyard, which has a shed.

Once part of a larger estate, marked by a heritage-listed hedge out front and way down the street, this late Victorian Helensville now sits on a lovely treed block of about 1985 square metres.

Entry through old wrought-iron gates is to the back of the house, where theres the original stable, now a huge, rustic entertainment room decked out with a stone-topped bench with sink and a potbelly stove. An equally old storage shed and a carport is attached on one side, a potential caravan bay on the other.

A wonderful giant peppercorn and brick-paved sitting areas speak of shady

summer days, then its under a small verandah and into the kitchen.

Updated, it nevertheless has an old-world feel, with parquetry oorboards, a slow combustion stove, pressed metal splashbacks, and an Emilia stainless-steel 900mm cooker under a steel-and-glass rangehood.

Next door, theres a back entry vestibule (with chandelier), on the right of which is a powder room, and an updated laundry with lots of cupboards and bench space.

Then comes the updated bathroom, with pressed metal on walls, black granite vanity unit and a chandelier plus a sash

window. These feature throughout, most with brass pulls.

Original Baltic oorboards head down a hallway, off which are two bedrooms, the smaller suitable as a nursery or study, with new en suite potential.

Ceiling rosettes, deep skirts, decorative cornices on 3.6-metre ceilings, and cast-iron replaces with original surrounds are in each of the bedrooms, including a lovely third bedroom which sits to the right of the original front hall. The original large brass lock inside the front door seems to embody the history of this place.

Across the front hall, a large lounge room has all the period features, including a replace and a gorgeous bay window.

A dining room next door to the kitchen is another charming room, again with all the period signatures.

Lacework adorns a small front verandah, the roof has original slate tiles, and the house, built on bluestone, is constructed of solid concrete blocks which provide good insulation.

Surrounding gardens have many mature trees and the bones of something special.
