The final Access and Infrastructure Plan for the Park launched in November 2021 Brian’s team is also focused on supporting the delivery of the Cape to Cape Resilience Project which aims to protect the coastline around Inverloch Venus Bay and Anderson Inlet from the damaging impacts of natural processes such as winds which move sand and sediments that reshape the coastline Brian (pictured in a red helmet) cycling with the Inverloch Coastal Crewzers With his loving wife of more than 40 years by his side as well as his three sons and eight grandchildren Brian believes one of the key drivers to success is surrounding yourself with good people “That’s what it’s all about for me It’s been a pleasure working with the local Parks Victoria teams and managing some great people over the past few years as well as partnering with key community groups including the South Gippsland Conservation Society Friends of Wonthaggi Heathlands and a number of other local volunteer groups.” He is particularly happy to see more and more young people expressing an interest in becoming rangers bolstering an important passion for protecting Victoria’s natural and cultural heritage “The one thing I would say is crucial to starting a career as a ranger or really enjoying whatever your work path may be is to jump in and put your hand up for anything and everything,” he says I think a lot of people who knew me would have said that I lacked a bit of confidence I’ve managed to overcome that and I think it’s because I’ve thrown caution to the wind and I’ve put my hand up for all sorts of stuff – even when I thought it might not be a good fit it’s always turned out to be a good decision because it’s helped me grow as a person.” and subscribe to receive the latest nature inspiration and news straight to your inbox Victoria’s networks of parks and reserves form the core of Aboriginal cultural landscapes Parks Victoria acknowledges the continuing connection that Traditional Owners have to these landscapes and recognises their ongoing role in caring for Country on which we learn Tolu Arokodare has said his second half hat-trick in a 5-0 Coupe de France victory will lift his confidence as well as that of his club Amiens SC Amiens shot past Anzin-Saint-Aubin to the next round of Coupe de France with Arokodare on target in the 51st that has never left me even though it is true I have not scored in the last games and now to score three regardless of the opponents is a great feeling and it’s good for the team,” he said “It’s often difficult in the cup games when you play against teams in the lower divisions sometimes even more difficult than in the league but they defended well and their goalkeeper made some big saves we were more patient and we took our chances.” He is loan with option to buy from Latvian club Valmeira FC and website in this browser for the next time I comment We bring you the best in Football reporting.MUSA YAHAYA ENEJI -
