Lest we forget - 11 November 2019
November 11 is ‘a day to remember because if we ever forget then they died in vain’, appealed Roger Stuart-Andrews in his Remembrance Day service address.
Roger, a long-time resident, historian and RHCA committee member gave some poignant examples in his address of individuals ‘who gave everything’ in conveying the tragedy of World War 1 and the 10 million soldiers and seven million civilians who died. From John Kipling, the son of Rudyard, who died shortly after arriving in France aged 18, to the ‘1200 Aboriginal men who fought for Australians who did not recognise them as citizens in spite of having farmed their land, our country, for more than 40,000 years’.
Roger’s words resonated with around 40 locals who joined to pay their respects at the Remembrance Day service.
Local resident Phil Davies addressed the group with the story of his grandfather, Herbert Thomas Percival Davies who served in WW1 in Belgium and France and was also the bugler for ceremonial occasions. Phil’s father, Tom Davies, was with us and they were proud of Herbert’s contribution in the first AIF, 6th battalion. The bugle is still in the family and it was very poignant for the bugle to be used for the Last Post and Rouse by bugler Anthony Pope.
Special thanks also to Alex Campbell who gave the Ode and Rouse and the 1st Red Hill Scouts members who tendered the flag on the day. Wreaths were laid by Red Hill Lions, Minister Greg Hunt’s representative Lisa Burgess, Ist Red Hill Scouts, Red Hill Fire brigade, RHCA, personal contributors and the Shire’s CEO John Baker.

Bunnings Barbeque - June 2019

Anzac Day Service
A young school student reading, a moving Anzac Day address and a bugle from WW1 captured the attention of the large crowd at the sunny Thursday Anzac Day service hosted by RHCA.
Well-known local identity David Gibb gave the address reminding us of the freedoms many Australians take for granted that were defended by the Anzacs and the importance of passing on the spirit to the next generation.
As a special element to this service, and representing a younger generation, year 6 Red Hill Consolidated student Fenella Collins read the poem “Sir”.
On display was the bugle of Thomas Herbert Percival Davies who served in France and Belgium during WW1 as a company bugler. His son Thomas Davies and grandson Phil Davies were at the service and later were treated to an impromptu playing of the bugle by both Anthony Pope and Lewy Coard. “It was the first time we’d heard the bugle played properly,’ Phil said.
Locals Melissa Zerbe read the poem “The 25th of April” and Kerry Watson read a letter from soldier in the Dardanelles that captured a moment in the trenches in 1915. Keith White treated us to his song “On the Ridge and the Hill”, a crowd favourite, with Russell Joseph reciting the Ode of Remembrance.
A beautiful selection of wreaths were laid in memory and Lewy Coard’s stirring bugle playing of the Last Post and Rouse echoed across the hills.
Red Hill Community Barbeque and Indigenous Cultural Walk
Around 100 locals joined us on Sunday 27 January 2019, our third free community barbeque and our inaugural Indigenous cultural walk. The sun was shining and it was a great fun day all round.
Thank you to all from near and far that came along. We are especially grateful to Lionel Lauch and team at Living Culture for the excellent bush walk and tucker talk. Indigenous land is where we stand, and the more that is understood and celebrated by our communities, the more we can care for each other, this beautiful land, and precious waterways for years to come.
The CFA (Country Fire Authority) Red Hill team were at hand and a great help, as were the Scouts Victoria 1st Red Hill Scouts BBQ crew! So much appreciation for this wonderful community. We were also grateful to have Mornington Peninsula Shire Mayor, Cr. David Gill and CEO, John Baker with us for the day.
Acclaimed local authors Wendy Orr and Hugh Dolan with local musician song writer Keith White were excellent entertainers and our face painting guru Megan Masefield was in high demand all afternoon.

Community Barbeque
About 150 locals stopped by to the Red Hill Community Park for a free community barbeque hosted by RHCA.
Free sausages and hamburgers were on offer, there was a face-painter and balloons for the kids and local musician Keith White donated his time playing live background music for all to enjoy.
‘It was great to see so many locals and families in particular stop by and have some lunch with us and meet other locals’, said Mark Stirling, President of the Red Hill Community Association.
‘The park is being used by so many people since it opened last year and the planting is starting to settle in nicely. It’s a real asset for the community’, he said.
In true community fashion, the First Red Hill Scout group helped out at the barbeque setting up and serving food. Red Hill Ward Councillor David Gill, Councillor Rosie Clarke and Russell Joseph, Nepean electorate office manager, stopped by to meet some of the locals and the Red Hill CFA fire truck also paid a visit during the afternoon.
The free barbeque will be a regular event for the next two years at least and was hosted by RHCA with triennial grant funding from the Mornington Peninsula Shire.

Anzac Day 2016
Anzac Day 2016 dawned bright and sunny. The service began at 11 am with an introduction from RHCA President David Maddocks. Rev Fiona Goy did the reading and prayers, Jenny McIlroy read a poem, Cr Tim Wood gave an address, Kobi Watson read a letter from the front and local musician Keith White sang a song he'd written especially for the day. You will find the words on our Anzac Day 2016 page.
A deeply touching moment occurred when a tiny toddler trotted onto the memorial and went up to the dedication column, where he ran his fingers over "Lest We Forget" before his father took him back into the crowd.
We were pleased to see over 200 people at the Anzac Day service this year and proud to show off the Red Hill War Memorial which was completed in time for the day. The concrete slab is now coated with Pebble Mix in two shades which blend beautifully with the Corten columns, two bench seats are in situ and we even have our own flag pole. Job done!
However, we still need to repay the loans which enabled us to do this, so please donate if you can! This is your war memorial and your heritage. Donations can be sent to us by cheque or direct debit. See our Projects page for details.

On the Ridge and the Hill - An ANZAC Day reflection by Keith White
From orchard and farm they heard the alarm
That rang round the eucalypts tall
On the Ridge and the Hill they shut down the mill
And went off to answer the call.
'Gainst the Boers there went two, and they saw it through
And came back to their children and wives
Then to fight for the cause in the War To End Wars
Some paid the price with their lives.
And the call came again when the tyrant insane
Threatened to conquer the world
The crowds cheered hurray as they sailed down the Bay
To follow the banner unfurled.
Then the Vietnam War - when the call came once more -
They laid down their tools and they went
And in jungle and field to fight and not yield
To the dark force's stubborn intent.
Let's raise a glass then to the women and men
Who offered their lives for us all
On the Ridge and the Hill let us honour them still
In this place 'neath the eucalypts tall.
And when evening draws nigh you can hear if you try
In the gullies on the Ridge and the Hill
In the rustling breeze in the whispering trees
Their voices speak to us still.
"We went away" you might hear them say
"So you could have lives to fulfil."
With gratitude deep we pray that they sleep
In peace on the Ridge and the Hill.

Red Hill Community Park opens
There were some who doubted it would ever happen, but finally on Sunday 24 January the Red Hill Community Park was declared open. The ceremony began with Bob Austin representing the Bunurong Land Council, who gave a short address to the crowd of 250 people. Speeches then followed from Greg Hunt MP, Martin Dixon MP, RHCA President David Maddocks and Mayor Graham Pittock who cut the ribbon helped by colleague and Red Hill Ward Councillor, Tim Wood.
Before, during and after the ceremony, one factor was unmissable and that was the excited squealings of children using the playground for the first time. For those not in the playground, RHCA held a free BBQ for all attendees who hoed into sausages, hamburgers, veggie burgers cooked by an army of volunteers and served with panache by members of 1st Red Hill Scouts.
RHCA would like to publicly thank everyone who gave their time to make the event such a great success, in particular those who donated their expertise or product: Cellar and Pantry for free soft drinks, Red Hill Trading for the loan of the coolroom, Red Hill Consolidated School for the loan of their marquee and the Red Hill Epicurean for slicing 20 kg of onions for no charge. Music was provided by local resident Keith White, who waived his fee and entertained the crowd with a great selection of old and new songs.
