#REAL | How an Idyllic Retirement Resort became a ‘Financial Prison’

When retired policeman Geoff Gauci packed up his old life and moved to an over-50s gated community on Melbourne’s northern fringe, he pictured his next chapter as peaceful.

After spending 36 years investigating shoplifters, drug trafficking, burglary, fraud and deception, it was time for the quiet life. Seduced by promises of low maintenance and resort-style living at an affordable price, he bought into a Lifestyle Communities development at Wollert, impressed with its high-security cameras and boom gates that guarded a manufactured urban landscape of neat rows of uniform houses and perfectly manicured fake lawns.

It was a setting reminiscent of the Hollywood movie The Truman Show. “The way it was presented to me and my wife, I expected everything to be above board, knowing that I’m dealing with Lifestyle, a publicly listed company,” he says. “I did my homework, and I checked on them. And I would have assumed that everything was kosher.” But 18 months later, earlier this year, he and two other residents, Thom Meads and Steve Doudle, found themselves investigating the utopia they thought they’d bought into. “To me, it’s like I’m in a financial prison,” Gauci says. “I’ve got to bail myself out in order to get out, and it’s just wrong.” Adele Ferguson reports.

Captain Ship Shepherd shares the History of our Great Northern Exhibition

Our fair started out on property in Duntroon in 1855, later moving to Collingwood and since 1984, on Fairgrounds Road in Clearview Township. One of the Anniversary projects was establishing a plaque, at each of the locations with a brief History of the time spent at each. All this and more will be available for easy reading in the GNE History Book, researched and compiled by Marie Cruikshank, edited by Dan Needles and available for sale.

To mark it’s 150th anniversary, the Collingwood Agricultural Society published Come to the Fair a history of the GNE from its beginnings in 1855 to the present day.

The author is local writer and library archivist, Marie Cruickshank. After many hours searching through newspaper archives, correspondence and municipal records, Marie has written a lively and readable account of one of Canada’s oldest continuous fall fairs, from its humble beginnings in the fall celebrations held in Nottawasaga Township in pioneer days, through the Collingwood years (1883 to 1983), to the move in 1984 to new quarters in Clearview Township and the modern facilities it enjoys today.

GNE

It is an engaging story, featuring colourful characters, disastrous fires, keen municipal rivalries and spirited public debate as the volunteers strive to keep the organization dynamic and strong through world wars, depression and major social change. The GNE is the Oldest public service organization in the Collingwood and Clearview area, with a rich and varied history that mirrors the progress of the community around it.

The cover features a sketch by Collingwood artist Nick Hodgson of the magnificent Exhibition Hall that stood for only two years on the fairgrounds in Collingwood before it was reduced to ashes in a devastating fire in 1885.

MORE PHOTOS

“Come to the Fair”, by Marie Cruickshank, is now available from anyone on our ‘Contact‘ page.

Proceeds go to the Collingwood Agricultural Society.
