The Blanched Soldier

Originally published in 1926; the Americans actually got this one first by a month.

I have covered the Boer War extensively in a previous post, but will add some notes on items directly relevant to this story.

The Imperial Yeomanry were a volunteer i.e. not career military force of mounted infantry formed in 1900 as reinforcements in the Boer War. They were disbanded in 1908 and merged into the Territorial Force, a precursor of what is now called the Army Reserve.

Mounted infantry were infantry that travelled on horseback and fount dismounted. They continued in use into the Cold War, with some units also being "mounted" on bicycles on both sides of the Second World War, before being replaced with mechanised infantry.

Middlesex was the traditional county that covered much of the North and West of what is now Greater London; losing a large chunk of its territory and population to the London County Council in 1889. It was abolished in 1965, but remains very much a thing for sporting and cultural purposes, with its own county cricket team being just one example.

A martinet is a strict disciplinarian, the name coming for a type of short whip. Arnold RImmer from Red Dwarf is sometimes described as such, although the character is clearly meant to be quite pathetic.

The Victoria Cross is the highest British award for gallantry, equivalent to the Medal of Honor and like that medal, frequently awarded posthumously. It also usually requires multiple witnesses to the gallantry in question. It trumps absolutely everything bar the George Cross in the honours system, and it is traditional for a private with a VC to be saluted by a general officer.

The most recent VC was awarded to Joshua Leakey in 2015 for his involvement in a firefight with the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2013, where he took control of a machine gun left on a hill and kept firing even as bullets ricocheted off the weapon.

An elephant gun is a large calibre rifle intended for use against elephants and large animals. They saw some military use in the World Wars by the British against armoured German snipers in the trenches of the First and by the Italians against British armoured cars in North Africa during the Second. Since ivory hunting became taboo, they are much less common.

Bedford is a market town in England and county town of Bedfordshire. It has two stations, the main one being located on the Midland Main Line running into St Pancras. Served by Thameslink, East Midlands Railway and London Northwestern Railway services, the last on the Marston Vale line to Bletchley, it is on the outer edge of the London commuter belt.

The other station at Bedford St. John's is served by LNWR services on the Marston Vale line to Bletchley, which is part of the former Varsity Line from Oxford to Cambridge. The station was resited in 1984.

The Sultan of Turkey - and the whole Ottoman Empire - in 1903 was Abdul Hamid II, a modernising absolute ruler who faced many assassination attempts and was ousted in a coup in 1909, replaced by his half-brother Mehmed V.

The Spectator is a British political magazine that has run since 1828. Being distinctly conservative in its world view, its former editors include one Boris Johnson.

"Squadron" was the traditional term for company or battalion sized cavalry or mounted infantry units. Outside of naval and air force use, it is now used for armoured units, which are frequently old cavalry units that just changed their level of horsepower.

Stoep is an Afrikaans word for "stoop".

Leprosy is transmittable by close contact, but you generally need a lot of it. It is still common in Brazil, much of Africa and India, but is now curable. Prejudice remains a big problem, with "leper colonies" still being common.

The general scholarly consensus is that it wasn't ichthoysis, of which there are many types. The NHS has more information here (with pictures): https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/ichthyosis/

THE GREAT OCEAN WALK: A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE

One of Victoria’s greatest walking tracks is the Great Ocean Walk. As it wraps around the coastline of the Southern Ocean, it gives those walking along it the rare opportunity to immerse themselves in this monumental location’s landscape, wildlife, and history. From sweeping ocean views to hidden rainforests, there is something for everyone.

For local and international visitors planning to travel along the Great Ocean Walk, many things are worth knowing before you set off. We have compiled a guide that will give you an insight into the location, what you can expect throughout your journey, and the important considerations to make as you plan.

The walk begins in Apollo Bay, a town in southwestern Victoria. Apollo Bay is a stop on the Great Ocean Road that winds along the coast, passing through the Great Otway National Park. Behind Apollo Bay are the mountains of Otway Ranges, partly forested and cleared for grazing and dairying. When you reach Apollo Bay, keep your eyes peeled for Apollo Bay Visitor Centre, as this will serve as the starting point for your journey.

Arrange your transportation from the end of your walk, Port Campbell, back to Apollo Bay (or where you have chosen to park your car). Shuttle services and public transport are available; we suggest organising your preferred transportation option before setting off.

The Great Ocean Walk is often travelled across eight days, allowing travellers to slow down and appreciate the sounds and sights at a gentle pace. There are also daily and multi-day trip options for covering the entire distance in a shorter timeframe.

Camping and lodge accommodations are available for those covering the distance over several days. Seven camping sites have been designed to be reached at the end of a daily hike, approximately ten to sixteen kilometres apart. To secure a camping spot or lodge, check availability ahead of time and book your accommodation.

The majestic locations available as you traverse the Great Ocean Walk can be separated into eight sections:

One: Apollo Bay to Elliot Ridge

Two: Elliot Ridge to Blanket Bay

Three: Blanket Bay to Cape Otway

Four: Cape Otway to Aire River

Five: Aire River to Johanna Beach

Six: Johanna Beach to Ryan’s Den

Seven: Ryan’s Den to Devils Kitchen

Eight: Devils Kitchen to Twelve Apostles

The Great Ocean Walk’s sections are classified as a ‘Grade 3’ hike. This classification was given as it is ‘suitable for most ages and fitness levels’ though some experience in bushwalking is recommended. Some steep staircases and gradients are presented throughout the walk—challenging terrain and areas that require a distance to be covered along the beach. Hikers should remain vigilant of the path as it can be wet and slippery in different areas or due to changing weather conditions.

One of the best ways to ensure a smooth and engaging experience on the Great Ocean Walk is by completing the trail with a licenced tour guide. When partnering with a tour company, of which there are over twenty locally, you have access to several services depending on your expected duration and personal needs. From transportation, guided tours, camping and safety equipment hire, supplying food, and more.

Engaging with a licenced tour operator means that a professional will complete all the planning and preparation, allowing you to relax and enjoy every moment of your journey.

If you are walking the Great Ocean Road Walk, whether in a group or independently, we recommend that you take some safety precautions:

There is limited phone reception along the walk, so ensure you mark the last location with reception to walk back to if you need to make an emergency call. We also advise being familiar with the emergency contact numbers 000 and 112.

Consider bringing a personal locator beacon or satellite radio to keep those waiting for you updated on your location or for emergencies.

It is essential to pack a First Aid kit or, where possible, travel with someone who is First Aid certified.

Be vigilant of snakes, especially in the warmer months. Keep your distance and make a wide berth if you come across one. Precautions include keeping your tent and belongings off the ground and secure, checking the area before sitting down, wearing hiking boots, gators, and pants, and more. See the Great Ocean Walk website for more details on ways you can keep safe along the trail.

Bushfires are a serious risk, and the Great Ocean Walk is a high-risk area, especially during the summer. We recommend checking the fire rating for the days you intend to be walking and being familiar with bushfire safety, which you can read more about through the Visit Victoria website.

Many beaches along the trail experience rogue waves and tide changes. Wreck Beach, in particular, is a high-risk area. Keep a minimum ten-metre distance from the water. We also recommend checking the tide timetable. Only travel down to the beach if it is low tide and safe, and remain aware of quickly changing conditions.

You will need expert guidance and organisation for a truly memorable experience on the Great Ocean Walk. With Auswalk, you can enjoy guided, self-guided and tailored walks across Australia. As your qualified travel companion, you can leave everything to us – from accommodation to food. It’s not just about getting you to the destination but also about the journey that leads to it. Come and see the hidden gems of the Great Ocean Walk with Auswalk; contact us today to start your journey.

Blatantly Partisan Party Review XVI (Victoria 2022): Transport Matters Party

Prior review: VIC 2018

What I said before: “Transport Matters is not a party of public transport advocates, but an anti-Uber party that exists to air the grievances of the taxi industry.”

What I think this year: Hire-car operator Rod Barton co-founded Transport Matters in 2017 and managed to harvest preferences so astonishingly well that he won a seat in Eastern Metropolitan at the 2018 election off a meagre 0.62% of the vote. This came from the anti-democratic Group Ticket Voting system, siphoning preferences from people who voted 1 above the line for a dizzying array of minor parties. Almost all of these voters would not have distributed their references in the manner assigned to them by each party's group ticket had they been free to preference above the line in the manner of their choosing. A preference spiral like this is literally impossible when people control their preferences.

Honestly, as a member of the Legislative Council, Barton has not been too bad and his party possesses a reasonable spectrum of policies on transport and beyond. It is not a single-issue party any more, with non-transport policies generally being centre-left stuff. Barton, for instance, has been active in parliament on homelessness and wants to see a range of recommendations introduced to expand housing and support services. Health policies are mostly broad motherhood statements about more funding; policies for government transparency are similarly brief; workers’ rights goes little beyond regulating better conditions for gig economy workers (which would be great!). Gender equality policies are limited and strangely all about men. First Nations policies are supportive of Victoria’s current treaty process.

But let’s talk about transport, because this is the party’s ostensible reason for existence—and it also happens to be one of my professional areas of expertise. Frankly, Transport Matters is all over the place here. Regulating Uber and other rideshare apps remains their first policy and top priority. The policy on tolls is hyper-specific, it focuses principally on taxi drivers, and it lacks a big-picture approach to congestion charging. Transport Matters supports the Suburban Rail Loop, a project I also support (both because it will provide the cross-suburban PT capacity Melbourne badly needs and because it will stimulate new activity centres and less sprawling, more sustainable suburban densification in a manner no bus upgrade could). Their other policies for heavy rail contain supportive sentiments but nothing of substance.

Transport Matters want to expand the free tram zone, and I could write an entire book here but all I’m going to say is that this specific proposal is poorly conceived and draws on evidence from Estonia of a completely different policy (Transport Matters tries to justify a modest extension of the free tram zone’s boundary for all passengers by referring to findings from Tallinn making public transport free but only for residents). Worst, Transport Matters supports the complete fever dream that is “trackless trams”, specifically from Caulfield to Rowville. It is ridiculous to dress up a bendy bus so that it looks like a tram and to operate it on an over-spec’d busway that costs nearly as much as an actual tram but can’t come close to providing the capacity or energy efficiency of trams. It is very hard to consider anyone a credible thinker on transport if they fall for trackless tram nonsense.

My recommendation: Give Transport Matters a middling to decent preference. Remember to vote below the line on the large ballot for the Legislative Council so that your preference goes where you want it to go; all ballots with 5 or more preferences marked below the line are valid votes.

Easy Tips to Keep Your Gutter Spouts Safe and Working!

Caring for your home is super important, especially regarding your gutter spouts. In Victoria, rainstorms can happen anytime, and if your gutters aren't working well, it can cause big problems. Did you know that more than 30% of home insurance claims are because of water damage from broken gutters? Let's make sure your gutter spouts stay safe and in top shape!

What Are Gutter Spouts?

Gutter spouts (or downspouts) are the pipes that carry water from your roof to the ground. They help keep rainwater away from your house so it doesn't flood or damage the foundation. But sometimes, things like leaves or dirt get stuck in them, which can cause problems.

Common Problems with Gutter Spouts

Clogs: Leaves, twigs, and debris can clog your spouts, stopping water from flowing. This can make water pool on your roof and cause leaks.

Rust: In Victoria, salty air and rain can cause metal spouts to rust. Rust can also cause holes, allowing water to spill onto walls and damaging homes.

Leaks: Sometimes, gutter spouts leak where they connect to your roof. Over time, this can cause mold, water stains, and even more damage.

Why Fixing Gutter Spouts Is Important

Victoria's weather can change quickly, with heavy rain and wind. If your gutter spouts are clogged or damaged, water can overflow, causing flooding around your home. Even worse, standing water can attract mosquitoes and lead to mold, which is terrible for your health.

Taking care of your gutter spouts is easy! Here's what you can do:

Clean them regularly: Clear out leaves and debris so they don't block the water.

Check for rust or leaks: If you see rust or water dripping, call EverClean to fix it before it worsens.

Keeping your gutter spouts in good condition will protect your home and keep it safe from water damage.

The Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley are renowned for their breathtaking natural beauty and thriving tourism industry. With serene mountain ranges, stunning walking trails, and charming villages, the Dandenongs are perfect for a relaxing getaway. In contrast, the Yarra Valley is celebrated for its world-class wineries, gourmet dining experiences, and hot air balloon rides, attracting visitors from all over the globe.

Both areas are ideal for short-term vacation rentals, offering unique experiences for travelers who wish to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Holiday rental properties in these regions are highly desirable, as they allow guests to immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature, while still enjoying access to modern amenities. However, running a successful vacation rental is not as simple as listing your property online. It requires a strategic approach to holiday rental management to stand out in the competitive market.

What Is Holiday Rental Management?

Holiday Rental Management Yarra Valley refers to the comprehensive process of managing a vacation rental property on behalf of the owner. It includes handling all aspects of property management, from marketing and guest communication to maintenance and ensuring compliance with local regulations. In highly sought-after regions like the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley, having a dedicated management team is essential for ensuring that properties remain competitive in the marketplace.

The key responsibilities of holiday rental management services include:

Marketing the property: Ensuring your property is visible across multiple booking platforms and optimized for search engine visibility.

Managing bookings: Handling reservations, responding to inquiries, and managing availability calendars.

Guest communication: Providing excellent customer service, from answering questions before arrival to solving any problems during the stay.

Housekeeping and maintenance: Keeping the property in pristine condition, including cleaning, repairing, and restocking essential supplies.

Revenue management: Maximizing income through dynamic pricing, while ensuring high occupancy rates.

Compliance: Ensuring the property complies with local laws, regulations, and safety standards.

For property owners who lack the time or expertise to manage these responsibilities, hiring a professional holiday rental management service is a smart decision.

The Benefits of Professional Holiday Rental Management

There are several reasons why property owners in the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley should consider using professional holiday rental management services:

Maximized Bookings and Revenue: One of the biggest challenges for property owners is keeping their rentals booked throughout the year. Holiday rental management companies have the expertise to create targeted marketing strategies, optimize listings, and use pricing algorithms to ensure maximum bookings and increased revenue. They know how to adapt to seasonal changes and market trends to attract more guests.

Enhanced Guest Experience: Travelers have high expectations when it comes to their holiday accommodations. From seamless check-ins to comfortable, well-maintained properties, guests want an experience that exceeds their expectations. Holiday rental management professionals handle all guest communications, ensuring timely responses, smooth processes, and 24/7 availability to address any issues that arise during a guest’s stay. This leads to higher guest satisfaction, better reviews, and repeat business.

Stress-Free Management for Property Owners: Managing a holiday rental can be time-consuming and stressful, especially if the owner is not located near the property. Holiday rental management services take over the day-to-day responsibilities, allowing property owners to enjoy the benefits of their investment without the hassle. They ensure the property is always ready for new guests and that any issues are addressed promptly.

Property Maintenance and Upkeep: A well-maintained property is essential for attracting and retaining guests. Property management services provide regular cleaning, repairs, and maintenance to ensure that the property remains in top condition. They also coordinate with local tradespeople and cleaners to handle any issues that arise, ensuring the property is always guest-ready.

Local Knowledge and Expertise: Holiday rental management companies often have a deep understanding of the local market. They are familiar with the unique attractions and experiences in the Dandenong Ranges and Yarra Valley, which allows them to highlight these features to potential guests. They also have local contacts for emergency repairs, professional cleaning, and other services, which helps keep the property running smoothly.

Compliance with Local Laws and Regulations: Managing a holiday rental involves ensuring that the property complies with local laws, such as safety regulations, fire codes, and occupancy rules. Holiday rental management services handle these aspects, ensuring the property remains in compliance and avoiding potential fines or legal issues.

Conclusion

Investing in a holiday rental property in the Dandenong Ranges or Yarra Valley can be highly rewarding, both financially and personally. However, to ensure long-term success, professional holiday rental management is essential. By hiring an experienced management team, property owners can maximize their bookings, increase revenue, and ensure that their guests have a seamless and enjoyable experience.

Whether you are looking to list a property in the tranquil Dandenong Ranges or the lush Yarra Valley, choosing a reliable holiday rental management service will allow you to make the most of your investment, while providing guests with an unforgettable stay.
