Alpine Motor Group moving forward Steve Ganitis and Candice Geach are the proud new owners of the Alpine Motor Group car dealership. After five years, two as a part owner, Steve left High Country Automotive Group to look for a new challenge. He found it at Alpine Motor Group. Purchasing the business from Keith and Sue Williams, Steve and Candice are excited to be taking on a local business with all local staff. “We are really passionate about being a local business,” says Steve, “We have retained all the existing staff and have hired some other experienced locals to compliment the team.” Steve says he is committed to growing the business to the benefit of the town. An opportunity came up to purchase the large building, previously Cottle House, next door to their lot on Bombala street and Steve and Candice took it. “Cooma is where we want to be. It’s a beautiful area. It is where we want to raise a family and where we want to build our business. By expanding, we will be able to create job opportunities for locals, which will have flow on benefits for the whole region.” Gaining 600 Facebook likes in only 24 hours of launching their page, and selling one car a day since opening, the team has strong support from the community. Alpine Motor Group sells new Ford and Mitsubishi models as well as pre owned vehicles.

“I am very excited to be representing Ford as I have always been passionate about them and my own personal car is a Ford,” says Steve, “Mitsubishi is a quality Japanese brand and I am also proud to be representing their product here in Cooma.” Steve has 13 years of experience in the automotive industry. He knows his cars and he knows what is involved in running a successful and reliable operation to get the best for his customers. “I would like to say that I appreciate the patience and understanding our customers have shown during this changeover period. It is a work in progress, but with such a good team behind me, it won’t take long to find our feet,” says Steve, “I would also like to thank Keith and Sue and wish them a happy retirement. They have poured their hearts and souls into this business for 20 years, and I hope that they will now enjoy their time on the farm.” Pop in to say hello to Steve, Candice and the whole team at Alpine Motor Group in Bombala Street today, give them a call on 6452 1044 or check out their Facebook page – Alpine Motor Group.

Students help with Legacy badge selling day

Monaro highway fatality A 39-year-old man has died following a head-on collision with a semitrailer on the Monaro Highway, near Williamsdale, on Monday morning. The NSW man’s utility collided with the truck between Royalla and Williamsdale in the ACT with emergency services responding to the incident shortly before 4am. The stretch of road was closed for up to 12 hours as an ACT Policing Collision Investigation and Reconstruction team examined the scene. Diversions were put in place throughout Monday with one lane reopening around 3pm. The driver of the semi-trailer did not

sustain any injuries and assisted police with their investigations. A report will be prepared for the coroner. A 40-year-old female was transferred to Cooma Hospital with hand and leg injuries on Friday September 2. She was involved in a single vehicle rollover on Badja Road at Countegany. Rural Fire Services attended a small grass fire near M&T Motors on the Monaro Highway on the evening of Sunday September 4. The property owner was burning off when the fire got away from them, alerting RFS who quickly got the burn under control.

Cooma man charged with firearms offences

Khan, Amy, Chairman Cooma/Bombala Legacy Mick Meillon, Treasurer Dennis Feaver, Jordan and Amy. Four representatives from the Monaro High School Student Representative Council (SRC) volunteered to support Legacy’s Badge Day on Friday September 2. Braving the wet weather, the students spent two hours walking around Cooma selling pens, badges and other items

in order to raise money for the organisation. The students said that as SRC members, they wanted to volunteer to help in order to become involved in the community and provide support for Legacy. Legacy is a voluntary organisation providing

services to around 80,000 families of veterans who have died or given their health. Today Legacy’s caring and compassionate service assists over 80,000 widows and 1,800 children and dependants with a disability.

A 54-year-old Cooma man has been issued Court Attendance Notices for 11 firearms offences at Cooma yesterday. Just after 10am Friday September 2, Police from Cooma Police Station executed a search warrant at a private residence in Lambie Street, Cooma. Police allege that during the search, three .22 calibre rifles and a fourth shortened .22 calibre rifle, two shotgun ‘Powerheads’ and a quantity of ammunition were found and seized by Police. Police enquiries revealed that the firearms were not registered and the man was not licenced to possess the items. The man was arrested and taken to the Cooma Police Station where he was issued Court Attendance Notices for; Possess Unregistered Firearm (4),

Possess Shortened Firearm, Possess Greater Than Three Unregistered Firearms Without Permit, Possess Unregistered Prohibited Firearm (2), Not Keep Firearm Safely, Not Keep Prohibited Firearm Safely and Possess Ammunition Without Holding Licence/ Permit. Monaro LAC Duty Officer Inspector Tony Hill said, “Firearms offences are a serious matter. Any person in possession of a firearm or ammunition without the appropriate authority is required by law to surrender the firearm and ammunition to Police. Police will continue to work hard to remove illegal firearms from the community.” The man is due to attend Cooma Local Court on Thursday October 20.

Demand for rescue helicopter continues to soar The local aero-medical rescue helicopter for the ACT and southern NSW, Snowy Hydro SouthCare, has experienced another busy year with the service conducting 457 aero-medical missions and 88 road retrievals in the 2015/2016 financial year. The demand for the service is continually growing with more than 960 missions conducted in the past two financial years and over 6,700 missions since its inception in 1998. From the snow to the sea, farmland and bush, as well as the busiest holiday roads and highways in the country, Snowy Hydro SouthCare continued to provide a vital service to the region’s one million residents and five million annual visitors. The rescue helicopter provides rapid response to medical traumas, transports critically ill patients between hospitals for specialised care and provides search and rescue as well as bushfire support functions. When the helicopter cannot respond

due to poor weather, the Snowy Hydro SouthCare medical crews continue to deliver critical care to the scene by conducting primary road missions and road retrievals. Primary road missions can see the medical crews continue to provide rapid response to medical traumas, while road retrievals are often conducted within

the ACT transferring patients between hospitals. Clinical Director of Capital Region Retrieval Service and Snowy Hydro SouthCare Doctor, Dr Kelvin Grove said, “The Snowy Hydro SouthCare rescue helicopter is a 24 hour service always on standby, just because you don’t hear us, it doesn’t mean we cant get there to help.”

Rising river alert for Snowy River below Jindabyne Dam Department Primary Industries (DPI) Water has issued a ‘rising river alert’ for the Snowy River between Jindabyne Dam and Dalgety in southern NSW for Wednesday September 7. DPI Water will closely monitor the predicted rainfall over coming days and will provide notification of any changes to this scheduled high-flow event. The river will rise due to the second high-flow event in a series of five planned environmental releases from Jindabyne Dam to the Snowy River during winter and spring 2016. The highest flow rate will occur at Jindabyne Dam from 7am to 3pm on Wednesday and will be equivalent to 2,536 megalitres per day for the eight hour period. For the remainder of Wednesday 2016, the flow rate will be equivalent to 1,929 megalitres per day. The flow rate will drop back to 1,005 megalitres per day on Thursday September 8. The environmental changes from this release are expected to be greatest between the dam wall to the junction with the Delegate River. However, the pulse will be noticeable down to the estuary in Victoria. It is expected to see the river water level at Dalgety rise from 0.90m to 1.29m, a rise of 0.39m. This is one of four secondary high-

flow events for 2016, with water released from the cone valves. It is important to note that water released at Jindabyne will take about six hours to reach Dalgety Weir at this flow rate. Landholders downstream of the Jindabyne Dam are advised to take all necessary precautions with stock, fencing and property. This high-flow event for 2016 has been officially named ‘Billa Bidgee Kapp’ in recognition of the southern Wiradjuri traditional people, who have an enduring and strong connection to the upper catchment of the Snowy River. All five high-flow events in the Snowy River during spring 2016 have been named by the regional aboriginal communities - BidwellMaap, Wongalu, Southern Monero- YuinBolga, Maneroo-Ngarigo and Wiradjuri - who recognise the link between these high flows and the health of the Snowy River. DPI Water will work with the NSW State Emergency Service and Bureau of Meteorology to provide information to the community regarding the management of this release should weather conditions warrant. More information can be found at - www. water.nsw.gov.au or by calling 1800 353 104.

When the crew aren’t in the air or on the road, the on-duty Flight Doctor continues to provide critical care advice and transport assessment to medical practitioners in regional hospitals, often spending up to three-four hours on the phone. “Snowy Hydro SouthCare Doctors are a highly skilled resource. It’s important for our Doctors to consul with regional hospitals as it allows the regional medical service greater access to higher level care and in some circumstances can reduce the requirement of the helicopter,” Dr Grove said. “Snowy Hydro SouthCare’s crew consists of a specialist doctor, paramedic, pilot and air crewman working together as a fully integrated aero-medical team. The team effectively takes the hospital to the patient, bringing high level care to those in the most profoundly vulnerable moments of their lives.”

Call for aerial culling ‘discredited’ by brumby supporters More than 40 scientists from 16 universities across Australia are calling for aerial culling of the wild horses in the Kosciuszko National Park. The deadline for public submissions of the Draft Wild Horse Management Plan was Friday August 19. A letter written by Prof Don Driscoll of Deakin University was included in those submissions, written on behalf of the other 40 academics. Claiming that the 20 year time frame to reduce the wild horse population by 90 percent was too long, the letter outlined concern for the native flora and fauna within the Kosciuszko National Park. They state that the threat the brumbies, an introduced species, pose to the Alpine ecosystems is too great and that aerial culling is in fact more humane than rehoming. Prof Driscoll stated that of those horses captured, only a small percent were rehomed, with the others sent to abattoirs after a long journey. President of the Snowy Mountains Bush Users Group and former state member Peter Cochran says that this letter has been discredited as far as the brumby supporters are concerned. “Some of these academics

listed in the letter have been personally contacted and have stated that they are not experts in this field, nor are they familiar with the draft management plan. Don Driscoll was responsible for the claims of cannibalism a few years ago. We all know horses are not carnivores.” “The letter says that they wish to completely eradicate the species by aerial culling, something we fought long and hard to have outlawed.” Mr Cochran led the campaign to have aerial culling made illegal, and it was achieved in 2000. “This outlawing has been supported since 2000 by all successive ministers from both political parties.” Mr Cochran is planning an event on Remembrance Day, November 11, at Bullock’s Hill to commemorate the 60,000 Australian soldiers lost in World War I and the 136,000 horses who left our shores never to return, and “Sandy”, a lone Waler, the only survivor to return to Australia and a relative of the Snowy Mountains Brumby.

Moves to secure SMEC Donation to Legacy in Bombala site for community The Cooma and Monaro Progress Association (CMPA) has formed an inter-association sub-committee with the Cooma-Monaro Historical Society to investigate both the community and commercial values of the SMEC property on the Cooma Back Creek. The Chairman or convenor of this sub-committee is Neil Trown, the current past president of the Cooma Rotary Club. Chairman of the CMPA, Dugald Mitchell, said yesterday “letters have been sent to a number of SMEC managers and Peter Evans, SMEC’s Urban Development Manager, who is situated in Canberra travelled to Cooma last Thursday and members of the sub-committee spent an hour on site with him”. Mr Brown said “Mr Evan’s job is to put up options for the disposal

of the property and the meeting discussed the idea of the people of Cooma obtaining the Fluid Mechanics laboratory and nearby land. “A meeting was held on Monday evening of interested people to discuss the concept. “It was agreed to put together a working plan, a job which will need expertise in the various future uses to which the property could be put. “A further meeting will be held at Cooma Ex-Services Club on Monday September 12 at 5.30pm to which the administrator, the general manager and the local representative committee will be invited. “All interested people are cordially invited to attend”, Mr Brown said.

The Club’s Scott Ingram presented a $500 donation to Legacy’s John Vincent, Chris Page, and Murray and Carol Garnock at the Bombala Street Stall on Friday. The Cooma-Bombala Branch of Legacy held a Street Stall in Bombala last Friday, getting good support from the community as it raised funds

Bombala carers take a trip to the nation’s capital The Bombala & District Carers Support Group headed to IKEA for the August get together. For most, this was their first IKEA shopping experience. To fill in the journey a trivia quiz was passed around; it was on the member’s knowledge of IKEA, the Olympics, Bombala and general knowledge. This created a very enjoyable, funny trip and made the time to Canberra go quickly. Lunch was enjoyed at IKEA and there was even time to have a little shop at Majura Park, so all in all a great shopping day was had by all members of the group.

R U OK Day, the most important question of all In the busy lives we live sometimes an important question goes begging. All too often someone may appear fine, but deep done something is quite wrong. This Thursday, September 8, Snowy Monaro residents will be asked if they are ok as part of local efforts in support of national charity R U OK? In a bid to promote people starting a conversation that could be potentially life changing, events will take place in Cooma, Jindabyne and Bombala. Noel Braun, from the recently formed Jindabyne group, Action for Suicide Prevention and Awareness (ASAP), is urging people to use R U OK? Day to check in with family, friends and community members to see how they are doing. “We’re encouraging people to have a chat and be ready to have a meaningful conversation with others,” Mr Braun said. “It’s a good opportunity to try and raise public awareness about suicide. There are events extended across the shire and it’s an opportunity for people

to take that first step.” In Cooma there will be conversation benches scattered around the CBD, allowing people to sit down and begin that all important conversation with someone else. Fifteen years of answering calls at Lifeline has shown Mr Braun that taking the first step is often the most difficult part in working through mental health issues. “It can take a lot of courage to take the first step. People ringing for the first time were often scared out of their wits,” Mr Braun said. “It’s an ideal opportunity to send the message out that it’s ok for others to reach out and seek help.” Jindabyne residents are encouraged to drop by the Snowy Mountains Neighbourhood Centre to chat to a volunteer and enjoy afternoon tea between 2-4pm. The Bombala Community Centre will offer people a place to chat between 1.30pm3pm. There will be an art project and a group walk by the river as part of R U OK? activities. Lifeline’s number is 13 11 14.

The new $5 banknote is now in circulation. It has many innovative features designed to make our banknotes clearly more secure. Importantly, all existing banknotes can continue to be used. Discover more at banknotes.rba.gov.au or call 1800 633 220

Local Youth show off their filmmaking talents South East Arts’ youth short film competition is coming to its grand finale with screenings and awards taking place across the region in September. One dozen of the region’s finest short films will be screened at events in Cooma, Narooma, Merimbula and Batemans Bay during September. On September 12 at The Kinema in Narooma and The Picture Show Man in Merimubla the prizewinners will be announced simultaneously, following screenings of the top 12 films. YOOFTube will land in Batemans Bay on 23 September, thanks to South East Arts and the Batemans Bay international Fringe Festival’s Lumina Alley. In Cooma, screenings take place on September 26. YOOFTube has been generously supported this year, primarily by author J.D. Shaw of Mogareeka, but also by local businesses and service organisations across Eurobodalla, Bega Valley and Snowy Monaro. Mrs Kate Howarth, Screen Industry Development Officer for South East Arts said, “It was particularly great to get so much

support this year from filmmakers across the region. We have some really high profile filmmakers living and working in our region and they are all behind YOOFTube. Many of our prize winners will go on to the workshops with local filmmakers who are doing great things all over the world in drama and documentary.” “The films entered this year were all of a very high quality. You can expect drama,

laughter, maybe some tears, animation and even some experimental filmmaking. The talents of these kids is amazing.” she said. The Bega Valley has always been a hot spot for filmmaking and the talent on show in YOOFTube 2016 is a testament to that. Past entrants are here again, but this time with new and exciting projects showing real growth. We’ve also seen some new talent enter and it will be interesting to see how

audiences react to the different styles of films on show. “In the Snowy Monaro, Cooma Rotary have come on board and it is great that they really understand the need for kids to tell their stories and film is a terrific way for them to do this. Snowy Hydro have offered their support by providing a screening venue and we hope that in future years these relationships will continue to grow and help us support young filmmakers,” Mrs Howarth said. “In Eurobodalla, local creatives have been a huge support to YOOFTube and to be part of the inaugural Batemans Bay international Fringe Festival is really exciting,” she said. YOOFTube is part of South East Arts’ Screen Industry Strategy, supported by Screen NSW, with a view to developing the screen industry across south east NSW. You can book tickets to the free screenings at southeastarts.eventbrite.com. Book now as seats fill very quickly.

Monaro households to save about $140 in energy bills The Member for Monaro John Barilaro is urging eligible households to apply for NSW Government Home Energy Action appliance program discounts to replace inefficient TVs and fridges.

their energy bills. “This program will help 20,000 low income households lower their living costs,” Mr Barilaro said. “Replacing power hungry TVs and fridges is an easy way to lower your energy bills. “Replacing an inefficient fridge will save a household up to $200 a year on its energy

Head teacher welcomed to TAFE Cromwell House clearance sale draws a crowd of bargain hunters

If you fancy yourself a bargain hunter, you would have been right at home at the clearance sale of Cromwell House on Saturday. The grand house on the corner of Cromwell Street and Soho Street was built in the late 1800s and first occupied by the Montgomery family. Mr Montgomery was a civil engineer and responsible for many of the early bridges built on the Monaro. In about 1900, the property was acquired by the Rix family who owned it until 1971. The home is rich in architectural detail, including the original fireplaces, mantels, light fixtures, mouldings, intricately carved woodwork and fittings. It was in 2011 that Steve Allen purchased the property, carrying out

extensive renovations and redecoration. Operating as a bed and breakfast, with a five star rating on Tripadvisor, Steve has housed many distinguished guests in the beautiful home over the last five years. It was also home to some handsome antique furnishings and trinkets that were up for auction at the sale on Saturday. The threat of rain and icy winds were not enough to deter the bargain hunters and collectors from grabbing their bidding cards. More than 100 bidders came along with more than 200 lots sold on the day. Many items went for a steal, including an incredibly rare Christofle solid silver threepiece tea set and serving tray. Understood to be worth some thousands of dollars, the set

went for a mere $290 and the tray, $150. An example of the bargains from the day was three lots, which were thrown in together, including four dining chairs, a timber wardrobe and a leather lounge – taken home for just $5. There was a large mahogany extension dining table with numerous rare white cedar balloon-back upholstered dining chairs that failed to reach the reserve price and were passed in. Top priced items for the day were a Pianola, Volvo and an AGA oven. The sale was conducted by Nick Kirshner Property and Livestock and totalled approximately $11,000.

The Head Teacher for Tourism, Hospitality and Events for the Bega and Cooma TAFE has started working at the Cooma campus and has already been very proactive about establishing relationships between TAFE and the community. Deirdre is excited about the opportunity to be working in Cooma as she has always had an affiliation with the Snowy Mountains through friends and acquaintances. She brings an impressive resume to the job, having been a fully qualified commercial chef and she is the branch manager of the Australian Culinary Federation for the NSW South Coast. Deirdre has been the head teacher at Bega for 10 years and under her guidance Bega TVET students achieved first and second in the state and the culinary team achieved a silver

overall and a gold for dessert. She attributed much of the success of the Bega students to the professional staff who are dedicated to the students and local industry, and said the Cooma teachers fit the same mould. While in Cooma, Deirdre will be looking at tourism and using her experiences with the healthy tourism on the South Coast to assist the Snowy Monaro region. She hopes to form a relationship with Snowy Mountains Tourism and local industry to bring opportunities for students in Cooma. An example of this will be the introduction of a Certificate III in Tourism for TVET students at the Cooma campus, which can then be added to a diploma or further training. The Certificate will involve 35 hours of practical placement each year which Deirdre

believes will be beneficial to the tourism industry, the community and the students. She has been in discussion with event organisers for the L’Étape cycling event, which will be held in December, to get students involved with tourism and events. Since being in Cooma Deirdre has also liaised with local restaurants and the TAFE will be holding a food safety recertification in September. Deirdre is enthusiastic about becoming involved with local industry and businesses in an attempt to benefit both the TAFE students and the community. “I want people to feel they can come and see me and talk about what Cooma is lacking in skills,” she said. “I’m happy to work with groups or individuals who want to improve skillsets. Anyone from the community.” TAFE will be releasing a skillset calendar at the end of September with courses such as barista training, RSA, RCG and café skills. Deirdre said she sees similarities between the Snowy Monaro and South Coast regions and is enthusiastic about the opportunity to expand the relationship between Cooma and Bega TAFE and work towards benefitting the community.

Love food, hate waste workshop for Cooma Cooma residents are being encouraged to attend a workshop next week to learn more about household food waste. Southern Tablelands Arts (STARTS) will deliver the Love Food Hate Waste workshop on Wednesday, September 14, at Cooma’s Youth Hub on Vale Street. Local chef from the Lott Food Store, Robert Fabbro, will run a cooking demonstration on the day while STARTS provide participants with a world café activity. The simulated café environment is designed to facilitate discussion and practical examples of how families can better manage their food portions, menu planning and food storage. Food comprises the largest component of household waste and more than one third of the average household garbage bin is filled with food waste each week. Mr Fabbro will do a cooking demonstration with the theme of a

pantry mystery box food challenge and provide participants with tips on using pantry items to liven up their meal preparation. Mr Fabbro grew up and completed his schooling in Cooma and will be known to many in the local community. He was on the environment council at his high school and has a background in working with disadvantaged people. STARTS was awarded a contract from the Canberra Region Joint Organisation of Councils to deliver the Love Food Hate Waste workshop in Cooma and five other local government areas. The Cooma workshop will run between 9.30am-12pm and is free. Numbers are limited so people are encouraged to book quickly online at http://www.trybooking.com/MPIH. The workshop is geared at building knowledge and understanding to achieve behavioural change in food shopping, cooking and storage.

Listeners petition ABC Ever since ABC South East Radio announced that it would no longer be broadcasting funeral notices, there have been unhappy listeners urging them to retract the decision. So passionately did some communities feel about it that a petition was circulated, originating in Bega and being signed in several local towns including Bombala and Nimmitabel. In Bombala alone around 280 signatures were collected, and the weighty petition with a total of over 2,600 signatures was presented in person to the ABC radio station in Bega last week. In response, NSW Regional Editor of the ABC, Patrick Emmett gave an on-air interview last Friday, stating that while the decision still stands, the ABC will review the situation. “We do not want to upset any part of our audience,” Mr Emmett said. “We will look at the petition and reach out to the audience concerned, and see if there is another way the service can be delivered.” During the interview Mr Emmett said that the decision had not been made lightly, and that the station felt the notices were already being delivered in the region through other commercial

means such as local newspapers and other radio stations. It was also pointed out that the station was the only regional ABC in the country still making the announcements. The ABC has previously stated that the service is “at odds with the program format, style and brief as set by ABC Local Radio”. The original announcement that the funeral notices would cease caused an uproar in June of this year, with a series of listeners contacting the ABC to complain and several Letters to the Editor being sent to The Monaro Post. “For isolated families and communities it was the only way you were able to obtain that information,” Bombala resident, Clare Trevanion wrote. “Not everyone has access to computers or wants to for that matter. Not everyone is in town at the right time to see any announcements.” While Mr Emmett did say that a review of the situation would be made, he inferred that the station would be exploring options to make funeral notices accessible in another format rather than simply returning to broadcasting them on air.

Chef Robert Fabbro, from the Lott Food Store in Cooma, will run a cooking demonstration as part of a food workshop at the Cooma Youth Hub on Wednesday, September 14.

Bundian Way explained in art Last Thursday saw the Jindabyne launch of a travelling exhibition showcasing art, photographs and information about the traditional Aboriginal songline, the Bundian Way. A group of Jindabyne Central School children attended the launch of the exhibition, which is located at the Snowy Mountains Visitors Centre. Pauline Coxon, secretary of the Aboriginal Education Consultative Group, hosted the launch and spoke to the students about the Bundian Way. Ranging from Eden up to the peak of Mt Kosciuszko, the walking track is 360km long. Pauline informed the students that the main purpose of this track was to travel from the coast

The journey would take up all of the summer months, with the aboriginal people stopping along the way to eat yams and native cherries and to tell each other stories. Thousands of people would travel to the mountains to feast on the bogong moths, which were rich in protein. The exhibition has already visited the Raglan Gallery in Cooma. It will remain at the Visitors Centre in Jindabyne until September 21 and will then open in Delegate at the Bundian Way Gallery/ Museum on September 24.

Meals on Wheels volunteers celebrated MCAS help those at risk The Member for Monaro John Barilaro has paid tribute to the thousands of Meals on Wheels volunteers ahead of National Meals on Wheels day which was celebrated on Wednesday August 31. Meals on Wheels services have helped Australians for more than 60 years. Over the past year 70,000 volunteers have prepared and delivered more than 10 million meals to 60,000 people in need Australia-wide. “Meals on Wheels services make it possible for older Australians and people with disability to stay in their homes by delivering nutritious meals, social interaction and regular visits,” Mr Barilaro said. “The volunteers do it because they

want to and passionately believe in the value of the service. Their generosity and good-will makes an invaluable contribution to society and many people’s lives.” As well as delivering meals, Meals on Wheels volunteers conduct a safety and wellbeing check to monitor the physical and psychological health of older people and people with disability. Minister for Ageing and Disability Services John Ajaka said the NSW Government is committed to increasing independence amongst seniors and people with disability. “A hot meal and a friendly chat can make all the difference in the world when it comes to a person’s wellbeing,” Mr Ajaka said.

“Through the dedication of volunteers under the Meals on Wheels program, vulnerable members of the community across NSW have access to nutritious food, can stay in their homes, and stay connected to their communities. “This is a valuable program which highlights our strong community spirit and the significant contribution of volunteers not just in NSW, but around Australia.” Meals on Wheels services are funded by the NSW and Commonwealth Governments . In this financial year the NSW Government funding contribution will provide more than 150,000 meals to people with disability.

Monaro Community Access Service (MCAS) recently drew their Father’s Day raffle with proceeds going to assist people at risk of homelessness because of sudden debt. MCAS is funded to deliver and complement the work of Specialist Homeless Services within the CoomaMonaro region with outreach services in Bombala and Snowy River regions. MCAS is part of the NSW ‘Going Home, Staying Home’ reforms assisting clients 16 years and over who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. MCAS is a ‘first to know’ service that work in partnership with Specialist Homeless Servies supporting people in the community known to be at most risk of homlessenes, for example people experiencing domestic violence, rough sleepers, young people leaving care, people with mental health issues and people living in unsafe conditions. MCAS praised the efforts of the local business community for their kind donations.

Last year, businesses donated to a fundraiser auction but due to a low number of bidders there were left over items. A subcommittee led by Heather Anoleck determined that these items be used as prizes in three raffles with a total of over $6,000 being raised. The prizes for the Father’s Day raffle included: First prize (valued at over $700): Buckenderra three nights’ accommodation valued at $420, Eucembene Trout Farm gift voucher valued at $50, Leading Edge portable esky, Rhythm $50 gift voucher, schnapps. Second prize (valued at over $600): Reece Plumbing $250 voucher, Cooma Power Equipment brush cutter, wheel barrow, case of Kosciuszko Pale Ale. Third prize (valued at over $350): High Country Automotive $200 service, hat and key ring, Macks Auto $100 voucher, Cooma Newsagency model car, car wash pack.

Census passes seven million mark With more than seven million household forms now received, or 80 percent of Australian households, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) thanked the Australian public for getting behind the Census. Head of the 2016 Census, Duncan Young, said we are now predicting that two million more households will have completed the Census online in 2016 compared to the 2011 Census. “62 per cent of forms have been filled in online so far, compared to a total of 33 per cent five years ago,” Mr Young said. “We commend the Australian public for embracing the digital approach to the Census in 2016, and for their ongoing support. This clearly shows their understanding of the value of the Census, for their community and the nation as a

whole.” Mr Young also reminded remaining households that haven’t completed their Census to do so immediately. “Census forms are due,” Mr Young said. “Our Census Field Officers will continue to visit households that haven’t completed the Census over the coming weeks. “If you haven’t yet completed the Census, please go online or fill out a paper form now, and this will save a Field Officer from needing to visit you. “The information you provide will inform funding, planning and development of essential services and infrastructure in your community, so it’s important that everyone takes part to ensure you and your community benefit.” Mr Young added that with

Census Field Officers now visiting close to three million homes, the reaction from Australians has been positive. “Our visits are providing the assistance required for households to complete the Census, and have finalised one million households in the last week. We are on track for a very high quality Census.” Mr Young explained that there are some situations where households who have completed the Census will receive a visit from a Field Officer. “If anyone does receive reminder materials after they have responded, please contact the Census Inquiry Service (1300 214 531), lodge an online enquiry, or speak to their Census Field Officer on their next visit so that we can resolve the matter as soon as possible.”

Katrin Hackney’s ongoing commitment to the community

Katrin was presented with the Paul Harris Fellowship at the Rotary changeover dinner in June. Pictured left to right, Past District Governor Michael Pedler, Assistant District Governor Julia Pedler, Katrin Hackney and outgoing president Neil Brown. For the first time in 40 years, Katrin Hackney is not on the committee of any community organisation. Katrin has been an active member of the Cooma community since she moved here in 1977. From Cooma’s deputy mayor to president of the Rotary club, she’s dabbled in many community groups and now, working casually at the Cooma Visitors Centre, is passionate about the region. Born in Germany in 1947, Katrin and her family moved to Australia in 1956. Her father was a house painter and was brought over by assisted passage. This meant he needed to work for the government for two years. Just eight years old when they moved, Katrin has only a few memories of her young life in Germany. “I remember some boys at school who would always make ice ramps out of the snow to slide down,� she says, “The headmaster would lecture them and say it was dangerous. Once the teachers covered the ramp in ash, the boys would just make another one somewhere else. I remember being very worried that they would get into trouble for it.� “Most people who know me now find it difficult to believe that I was actually a very quiet, introverted little girl,� laughs Katrin. Growing up in Blaxland, Katrin’s mother worked as a secretary. Having trained in London, her English was excellent. Once Katrin finished school she attended Bathurst Teachers College and then worked as an infants teacher for five years at schools in Kiama, Whalan and then Downer, ACT. Katrin was married in 1968 and retired from teaching in 1971 to start a family. “With my mother and father having always worked, I wanted to be at home with my children,� she says, “And because I was in a position where I could, that’s what I did.� Three sons were born and are now aged in their early 40s. Katrin is the proud grandmother of four granddaughters and one grandson. In 1977, Katrin and her family moved to Cooma. Katrin became an active member of the community. Joining about 20 groups, Katrin held the position of president on various school committees, the Monaro Art Group, South East Arts Regional Board and Rotary just to name a few.

Katrin was elected as a Cooma-Monaro great asset to the town and I still volunteer Shire Councillor in 2002 and became the there from time to time. The standard of Deputy Mayor in 2004 until she completed art in this community is reasonably high, her term in 2008. Describing her time on and I think that is because it feeds on itself. council as ‘interesting and very satisfying’, There are lots of people out there doing it Katrin says she really enjoyed it. “It was and doing in a way that nurtures and helps great to know what was going on in the each other.� community,� she says, “And I also enjoyed Nowadays, Katrin is enjoying taking having the opportunity to have a say a step back from all her responsibilities. and be involved in the decision making Although still involved in many of these process.� groups, she is not in a organisational role One project she was very supportive of was the kerbside recycling, which she was happy to see come to fruition. Katrin has been involved in the Cooma Rotary Club for 10 years and was recently named a Paul Harris Fellow. She was awarded this recognition by the club for her commitment to the community. Throughout her 10 years, Katrin has held the position of president, secretary, program organiser, club service director and foundation director. “I think that Rotary is a fantastic organisation,� she says, “It provides a variety of ways to support many different causes from within the local community to internationally.� Katrin has also been heavily involved in the art scene here in Cooma, still volunteering at the Raglan Gallery where she was previously the secretary and assistant treasurer over 12 years. When she first arrived in Cooma, Katrin studied all the art related certificate courses available at Cooma TAFE. “There were a fantastic variety of art courses available back then,� she says, “And because of that I became much more involved in art *VTTPZZPVULY :[ *VVTH ‹ 7! when I moved here.� -! ‹ ,!

this year. Thoroughly enjoying her work at the Cooma Visitor’s Centre, where she says some of the questions and requests can be quite challenging, Katrin is thrilled to recommend our versatile region to visitors. But she is also enjoying taking time for herself. Looking into some family history, doing a spot of gardening and visiting her grandchildren, Katrin is really enjoying life.

An open letter to the administrator

the

POST man

C A L L S Monaro residents will have a great reason to tune in to the Rio Paralympics when they begin this week. Local swimmer, Josh Alford will be in the pool swimming for gold in three different events. His first swim is at 11.54pm tomorrow night. His other times are: 100m Backstroke finals – 6.04am Friday September 9 200m Freestyle heats – 9.30pm Sunday September 11 200m Freestyle finals - 5.29am Monday September 12 200m IM heats – 10.13pm Saturday September 17 200m IM finals – 7am Sunday September 18

Dear Dean, I was recently dismayed to be handed a notice headed Changes to Rural Waste Management – Cooma Region by the supervisor of the Numeralla Transfer Station informing all rural residents of the old Cooma Monaro Shire of “new arrangements relating to Rural Waste Management”. The first statement on the notice I received seemed to be good news. “The Rural Waste Charge ...which was $193.60....which enabled disposal of 1x240l bin weekly has been removed”. Then I read on. Apparently the old charge will be replaced with a new charge of $101.00 (still good news) BUT a “user pays” system has been introduced. Luckily out of the goodness of your heart Rural residents will continue to be able to dispose of household waste at no extra charge until the 1st of November. However after November 1 there will be a new charge of $10 per 240l bin (in addition to the annual $101) effectively bringing to $621 per annum the cost for a Rural Resident to access the same service as the old system. This is a 220% increase in the cost of delivering exactly the same service.

Is our new council administration trying to fix the Reserve Bank’s problematic lack of inflation single handedly? By comparison Cooma residents currently get a weekly kerbside service for less than half the cost at just $296 per annum. Does this seem equitable? Worst of all this is happening at a time when council is under administration and rate payers do not have any elected representatives to make their case. Hooray for council amalgamations! According to the published Cooma Monaro Shire Revenue Policy and Schedule of Fees & Charges 2015-2016 we already had a “user pays principle” in regard to services such as waste management so presumably the 2015-16 charge for Rural waste management of $193.60 per year was sufficient to cover the costs of the service in the financial year 2015-16 otherwise why was it such a precise figure. While I agree that costs are rising and that councils cannot operate at a loss, this scale of increase can only mean one of two things. 1) The calculation of the cost of the service by the old Cooma-Monaro Shire under your leadership was massively

Calls to save SMEC fluid mechanics laboratory

The best of luck Josh –we’ll be cheering you on. The Postman hesitates to mention how wet this year has been, but he is certain he saw a couple of rabbits wearing snorkels and swim fins in a paddock last weekend.

Editor, It would be a crime for our town to lose this historical building, but following the sale of Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation (SMEC), what will happen to this building? The Fluid Mechanics laboratory was constructed and set up at Cooma Back Creek in 1952 for the Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Authority (SMHEA) to demonstrate, prove and improve the hydraulic design and performance of major hydraulic structures of the Snowy Mountains Scheme (1949-1973).The application of scaling laws and testing

of the scaled hydraulic models allowed authentic reproduction of prototype conditions under design flows. More importantly this allowed visualisation of flow conditions. In 1953 it was commissioned as a component of the Authority’s Scientific Services Divison (SSD). When the Scheme neared completion and the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation was formed in 1970, the building became part of this new organisation. It was then used to perform testing and hydraulic design for so many of SMEC’s projects, both in Australia and overseas.

in error despite its apparent precision. OR 2) The new calculation (very round numbers $101 plus $10 per bin) is an ambit claim to raise revenue from Rural residents to help subsidise the relatively low cost of the urban kerbside service. Regardless of the apparent inequity I believe there is a much greater concern with introducing such a massive rise in costs to communities that are recognised by other arms of state government as being socio-economically disadvantaged. I refer to the likely rise in rural residents either illegally dumping rubbish in the bush or conducting backyard incineration of waste. There are already instances of both occurring in the Numeralla area of which council is fully aware. So in 12 months when the total volume of rubbish going from the Numeralla transfer station to landfill has declined don’t laud this as a success of your price signal policy instead send your waste management staff out into the bush reserves surrounding the villages to find the short fall and pick it up from there.

In 1967, the Snowy Mountains Scheme was rated one of civil engineering’s ‘Wonders of the Modern World’ and in 1997, the American Society of Civil Engineers recognised the Snowy Mountain Scheme with a plaque: ‘International Historical Civil Engineering Landmark’, joining the Panama Canal and the Eiffel Tower. To allow the loss of such an iconic part of our engineering heritage would be historical vandalism. Darien Perry Cooma

Girls night out fun at Lambie Street Preschool Last week Lambie Street Preschool hosted their annual ‘Girls Night Out’. Inviting mums and grandmas to come along and help the kids to create Father’s Day gifts, it was a

lovely evening. “Lots of mums have to work late and rarely get the opportunity to come in to the preschool to see what the kids are up to,” says Director Cathy Toohey.

“It’s really nice to bring them together for some quality time while they make some prezzies for Father’s Day.” From jars of peanuts, drawings, special cards and cardboard trains, the children were able to get creative with their gifts.

Grants available for local emergency relief projects Administrator’s Column I am pleased to announce that Snowy Monaro Regional Council has been accepted to join the Country Mayors Association of NSW! This is a fantastic organisation for us to be involved in as the Association is an advocate for issues that affect country councils. Councils are only eligible for membership if they are outside the Greater Sydney area, Newcastle and Wollongong Metropolitan areas and that means that the Association really focuses on regional councils and their communities. At each meeting there are high calibre guest speakers which are usually ministers or senior bureaucrats who share a wealth of knowledge with country mayors/administrators and their General Managers. This will allow us to be well informed on current issues facing Local Government - it is also an information sharing forum so we have the opportunity to take away valuable material, learn from each other and share what has worked for our region. We should see some good outcomes and I am keen to start working with Country Mayors.

Local organisations and councils in the Monaro are encouraged to apply for up to $300,000 to help them deliver an important emergency relief infrastructure project for their communities. The Member for Monaro John Barilaro is inviting local not-for-profit groups and councils to apply for grants of up to $300,000 for new or upgraded emergency relief infrastructure. Mr Barilaro said these grants are being made available under the NSW Government’s 2016/17 ClubGRANTS program for projects that help protect local

communities during emergencies such as bushfires, storms and floods. “I encourage all eligible groups to consider submitting an application for a project that will make a real difference to the Monaro,” Mr Barilaro said. “Particular emphasis will be placed on projects that benefit disadvantaged and regional and remote communities in this program round. “Over this term of government, around $50 million in ClubGRANTS will be provided to local communities across NSW to support three categories of infrastructure: sport and recreation, arts and culture and emergency relief facilities.” Deputy Premier Troy Grant said these organisations go above and beyond to help their community

How the locals like it

Council has received our traffic count data from the RMS at the Bunyan site for January – July 2016. Overall, it appears that there has been a significant increase in traffic which is great news for our region. Numbers are up in the months leading up to winter so that indicates that people from areas like Canberra are starting to visit the region on a more regular basis. This can only mean good things. Over the past week we have had our marketing consultant, Mr Peter Sheppard from Creative Alliance, in the area to help us bring together some strategic marketing, tourism and branding plans for the entire region. This is an interesting time for us as we are working on promoting our best assets and encompassing all aspects of our community as a whole. Some of this will be done through signage and exploring ways to revamp central areas of some of our towns. During this time we also met with the potential Bombala tourism committee and the Chamber of Commerce to discuss what tourism could look like for that area. This is very promising and I look forward to being able to present something soon.

Snowy Mountains Grammar School is one of Australia’s best innovative schools for their Acadamies of Excellence program Snowy Mountains Grammar School (SMGS) was recently selected as a “Spotlight School” in the Educator Magazine’s 2016 Innovative Schools list. With credible research demonstrating that students in education across the globe are disengaging from learning and school, SMGS is heading in the opposite direction and engaging students in areas in which they love to learn. In 2016 SMGS introduced an innovative program called Academies of Excellence for all students in Years 7-12. This program has allowed students to study in one of eighteen different academies, ranging across an array of options, including Drama and Theatre Studies, Engineering, Innovation and Design, Aviation, Equestrian, Mountain Biking and Early Childhood Education. Traditionally, schools

have focused on grouping students based on their year of birth but, at SMGS, students select their academy based on their interests, passion and desire to achieve excellence in a chosen field. For example, students in the School of Invention, which is led by the Information Technology Manager at the school, are responsible for designing and building a fully automated and wireless-controlled Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) that is capable of both airborne and underwater exploration via manual control, pre-programmed instructions or basic artificial intelligence. “Some of the best ideas and designs have come from Year 7 students challenging the Year 12 students, who bring experience to the challenge”, said Mr Craig Moore, Head of the School of Invention. SMGS has also

increased student engagement by developing a revolutionary program called #GlobalU. Students in Years 9 and 10 are able to enroll in any Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) and have class time to complete the coursework, with students studying courses such as forensic science, psychology of criminal justice, bioethics and p a l e o a n t h r o p o l o g y. “There is no limit to the possible study pathways for our students, and the fact they choose

their own subjects and courses from over 5000 available, means they have truly individual learning pathways”, said Mr Callum Ross, program co-ordinator of #GlobalU. Of SMGS’ innovation award, School Principal Mr Andrew Bell says, “Our students need our schools to be delivering them the very best. This means we need to find new global ways to help our students learn the skills for occupations that are yet to be determined. At SMGS our school is doing just that.”

Snowliner Travels: The French expedition continues

Another day to discover the horrors of World War 1. Driving through farmlands, at an average size of 30-40 hectares with cows and stud horses. The speed limit on the highway is 130kms for cars, 100kms for buses and 90km for trucks but if carrying dangerous goods their speed limit drops to 80kms. Couseaa and Juno Beach are driven through and by. One Charlie Tank is now on display - it sunk in a crater while traversing the beach, was boarded over which provided stability for other traffic and was not rediscovered until 1997. Mulberry Wharf was preassembled in England and towed across the Channel to provide quick protection after D-Day landing. In total they put up approximately 14kms of wharfing. Some pieces were 70x20x5 metres and weighed up to 7,000 tonnes. Four days after landing at Omaha Beach on D-Day there were 40,000 casualties, 5,000 dead. The total War accounted for 60-80 million casualties, the majority civilians. Coming in to Omaha Beach there was a cave in the hillside which was pumping out 9,000 rounds a minute - hard to survive that. We visited the American War Cemetery with thousands of graves all in pristine lines, immaculately kept, then later drove down to the beach landing site. Peaceful now but there was no peace in 1944. We have sailed overnight from Honfleur to Caudebec en Caux, quite a small town on the Seine. Many visited the Textile museum in Bolbec which was one of 40 cotton factories in prior years, there now maybe only two left. We were shown the process of producing cotton thread and then weaving into fabric. Basic items, like tea towels, hankies and aprons are for sale all

being made by volunteers of the factory. Two men are employed by the Government to maintain the skills of this by-gone era. We are told each town can decide whether their children go to school on Wednesday or Saturday mornings, it appears their schooling is 4 1/2 days a week. Another museum of farm equipment is visited which had many horse drawn carriages including a hearse. The work of an everlasting press was explained, massive timber pressing which could produce between 200300 litres of apple juice, now with hydraulics the same quantity of applies produces 500 litres. Many old washing machines were on display including the boiler. Years prior a mobile boiler would be taken to outlying farms twice a year to clean their linen - the mind boggles! There are 820 varieties of applies. 10 lts of cider makes 1 lt of calvados - 42% alcohol. 12 lts of milk produces 1 lts of cream which can be made into 500gms of butter Caudebec was celebrating 100 years of aviation while we were moored, lots of aircraft equipment is still made here today. A naval ship and aviation museum were open but the queues were too long. Dinner tonight is at Palais Benedictine, Fecamp, what an opulent castle and the displays, ivory carvings hundreds of years old and we had the place to ourselves. The famous Benedictine liquor originated here but no free samples were given. A sumptuous meal was served here but the staff were nowhere near as friendly as our ship crew. Arriving back at our spaceship we are told there will be a fireworks display just prior to us setting sail. This was a strange display

of fireworks to us - little hot air balloons sent up into the sky, looked like Chinese lanterns hanging in the air. And now we are cruising upstream passing through a lock as we went to breakfast. The flood waters are still coming downstream and I can’t believe how far the tide can push these floodwaters back. Our Captain is hopeful we will make it back to Paris with receding water levels. Cruising in to Vernon with a population of 26,000 we are taken to the Monet Gardens at Giverny, a little town about 10 minutes away. I can now say I have walked around the famous water lily pond and crossed the also famous Japanese Bridge. Monet painted the pond on about 250 occasions while producing his over 2,000 works of art. Approximately 1 million visitors view these gardens and his house annually. The property was left to Monet’s second son, the first having died previously, who had no interest in the gardens. On his death, without an heir, the property was left to the Academy of Fine Arts. A gardener was employed who died after a short time, necessitating the employment of a second gardener. This man is responsible for the way the gardens are today. They are open to the public for seven months of the year and there is always something flowering. Monday arrives and our choice of tours is Vincent Van Gogh’s rooms of Chantilly Chateau. John chose to go to Van Gogh’s rooms. He says the guide was very impressed when a gentleman arrives down from Paris to open the rooms, as they are closed on Mondays. She says it is not just any gentleman but one that is often seen on TV with dignitaries or royalty, including

the Queen. Van Gogh painted 80 pieces in his final 70 days. John was told that Van Gogh sold a painting for 20 euros and the current owners recently turned down 90 million euros. I went to Chantilly Chateau in the township of Chantilly where lace was made for 50 years. The town now is known for its horse training and racing, quite a large race trek is located next to the Chateau. In the first room we were told there are over 30,000 books in the Chateau. Where possible they put windows in the rooms from different aspects to obtain as much light as possible during the days - often short in the winter months. Once again on the owner’s death the chateau was left to the Institute de France (the public) on the proviso that nothing is removed. So tight is this proviso if anything needs repair it has to be done within the chateau. On one of our tours we were told that it is compulsory in France when parents die that the property be left to the children in equal proportions, they all must agree on what to do with the property. Our guide told us of a house that needed lots of repairs 8 years ago, the children could not all agree on selling the property, it is now almost in ruins. I have just come back from a galley tour, wow how do they do it. The kitchen is about the size of two cabins with eight chefs/cooks and eight wait staff. Tomorrow they are receiving a restock, two trucks, 1 1/2 hours to unload, 1 1/2 hours to pack away, all carted by hand, every inch on the ship is used. And just to complicate things at present we had another vessel beside us. The dishes are washed in 90 seconds at 71 degrees celsius which is checked and recorded daily. Samples of food (scrambled eggs were mentioned) are kept in the freezer for a week after we depart the cruise. Food is produced for three restaurants on the ship and each time the food is changed equipment is changed. They have what they call a spider which can hold 72 plates with some preparation of food, eg salad. Menus are decided prior to each cruise and pictures of what the meal should look like are on display. Food cannot be kept for more than

2 hours so organisation is the key. The 45 staff have a 30 minute window starting 1 1/4 hours before our dinner time to enjoy their own meal. They do not have the range we enjoy but I am sure it is just as good and of course they have to serve and clean up after themselves! Thomas also spoke briefly on the housekeeping requirements. I have noticed on their trollies at least four different coloured cleaning clothes. Particular areas are cleaned with a certain coloured cloth and new clothes are used in each cabin. Every endeavour is made by the staff to avoid cross contamination and germ spreading - very reassuring to the passengers. Tonight the crew put on a show, we were in stitches of laughter. One skit was based around difficult patrons in a cafe and after complaining about the flat beer the waiter takes the glass away and blows bubbles in it with a straw, certainly had a head then. Tuesday arrives and it is a major day of strikes in France. We were to go to Versailles Palace but as it is a Government owned property it will not be open instead we are taken in to Paris to Montmartre which is 100 metres above Paris and is very much an artist’s area. We were shown buildings where Van Gogh lived and a restaurant he painted inside. Also told that many of his first paintings were just thrown away when change was wanted. Montmartre was originally built around a chapel, the nuns made and sold wine to survive. There is a very beautiful Sacred Heart Bascilla looking out over the Parish. Continual praying has been happening here since 1885. People come to pray, stay next door for free, and are woken when it is there turn to pray. Often 20 at a time. The white stone that the church was built from has never been cleaned and reportedly gets whiter all the time. Building started in 1873. The foundations are 38 metres deep, 84 in total to support the church. Last night on board the Scenic Gem before we head to Bordeaux.

MISSING PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AT NIJONG OVAL The Pedestrian Bridge across Cooma Creek at the western end of Nijong Oval was washed away in the recent floods. Council has retrieved the Bridge from its adventure downstream, and is now assessing the damage caused as a result. Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and we are working toward getting the crossing restored.

UPDATE ON BOMBALA RIVER FOOTBRIDGE Due to the recent flooding event, the Bombala River footbridge was significantly damaged with the fence panels being completely destroyed. A natural disaster claim has been lodged by Council. The bridges have been included on the capital projects list for the Bombala Branch for possible funding through the $14million dollars available to Council. Council has been discussing options on ways to upgrade the bridges; potentially doubling the width of the bridge to negate the need for railings. New deck beams on the existing piers and cross beams would have to be added to support the bridges. This will then allow the floodwater to flow over the bridges and eliminating damage sustained and the cost of constant repairs. Please contact council on 1300 456 456 for further updates.

WATER MAIN AND SERVICE REPLACEMENT WORK WITH TEMPORARY AND FULL ROAD CLOSURE OF WAGGUN STREET, COOMA. Please be advised that weather permitting, water main and service replacement work has been programmed to commence in Waggun Street, between Walgarra Street and the western intersection with Wangie Street. This essential work is expected to commence the 29 August 2016 and is expected to be completed on 26 September 2016. Works will be carried out between 7:30 am and 4:30 pm. A temporary and full road closure will be required when water service and water main road crossings are made to ensure the safety of staff and the general public whilst this work is undertaken and will be in affect from 8:00 am till 4:00 pm. The actual timing of this work will be advised. Local traffic movement will be permitted under site staff direction. SMRC staff and contractors will require access onto private property at times to complete water service replacement work.

Ask to speak to a customer service officer regarding your issue. A Customer Request will then be raised on Council’s electronic system and can be directed to the appropriate officer for action. 2. Go to Council’s website www.snowymonaro.nsw.gov.au and click on the Report an Issue button. You can then fill out a request online or send an email to council. Your request will then be lodged electronically and directed to the appropriate officer for action. 3.

RISING RIVER ALERT SNOWY RIVER BELOW JINDABYNE DAM NOTICE ISSUED 1 SEPTEMBER 2016 DPI Water today issued a ‘rising river alert’ for the Snowy River between Jindabyne Dam and Dalgety in southern NSW for Wednesday 7 September 2016. DPI Water will closely monitor the predicted rainfall over coming days and will provide notification of any changes to this scheduled high-flow event. The river will rise due to the second high-flow event in a series of five planned environmental releases from Jindabyne Dam to the Snowy River during winter and spring 2016. The highest flow rate will occur at Jindabyne Dam from 7am to 3pm on Wednesday 7 September 2016 and will be equivalent to 2,536 megalitres per day for the eight hour period. For the remainder of Wednesday 7 September 2016, the flow rate will be equivalent to 1,929 megalitres per day. The flow rate will drop back to 1,005 megalitres per day on Thursday 8 September 2016. The environmental changes from this release are expected to be greatest between the dam wall to the junction with the Delegate River. However, the pulse will be noticeable down to the estuary in Victoria. It is expected to see the river water level at Dalgety rise from 0.90m to 1.29m , a rise of 0.39m. This is one of four secondary high-flow events for 2016, with water released from the cone valves. It is important to note that water released at Jindabyne will take about six hours to reach Dalgety Weir at this flow rate. Landholders downstream of the Jindabyne Dam are advised to take all necessary precautions with stock, fencing and property. This high-flow event for 2016 has been officially named ‘Billa Bidgee Kapp’ in recognition of the southern Wiradjuri traditional people, who have an enduring and strong connection to the upper catchment of the Snowy River. All five high-flow events in the Snowy River during spring 2016 have been named by the regional aboriginal communities - Bidwell-Maap, Wongalu, Southern Monero-Yuin-Bolga, Maneroo-Ngarigo and Wiradjuri - who recognise the link between these high flows and the health of the Snowy River. DPI Water will work with the NSW State Emergency Service and Bureau of Meteorology to provide information to the community regarding the management of this release should weather conditions warrant. More information can be found at - www.water.nsw.gov.au or by calling 1800 353 104.

Bombala bridges to be repaired The many users of the Bombala River Walk who have been lamenting the closure of its two footbridges over past months can start getting excited about potential upgrades to the structures. The footbridges sustained significant damage during a flood in June, with many of the fence panels lining the bridges being completely destroyed. The Snowy Monaro Regional Council lodged a natural disaster claim for the occurrence, and the bridges have been included on the capital projects list of the Bombala Branch for possible funding through the $14million available. Council has been discussing options to upgrade the bridges; potentially doubling the width of the structures to negate the need for railings. If this option were

pursued, new deck beams on the existing piers and cross beams would have to be added to support the bridges.

This would then allow the floodwater to flow over the bridges, eliminating the damage sustained and the cost of constant repairs.

www.

Once a firm decision on the upgrade has been made, an approximate timeline can be announced.

Local representation committees want to hear from you Appointed members on Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s Local Representation Committees (LRCs) would like community groups to come directly to them if they wish to raise any local issues with Council. Administrator Dean Lynch said that Council was already in the process of notifying community groups who formally had a council representative of their newly appointed LRC member. “Council is very keen to engage with community groups because in some circumstances they are usually the first place people turn to when there is an issue,” explained Mr Lynch. LRC members are in the process of being appointed to community organisations so they can report back to Council on issues arising throughout the region. Importantly, groups who have never had contact with Council but would like to connect with Council through a LRC member

are encouraged to make a request so this can be arranged. LRCs will serve as an advisory arm to the new Council during the transition phase to inform Council of issues that affect the community, by consulting with all residents, ratepayers and community groups across their Local Government Area on a wide range of local matters. “While LRCs will not make formal decisions on Council matters, their advice and recommendations will play a large part in helping to set the direction and approach Council takes on important decisions,” said Mr Lynch. Local Representative Committees members contact information is available on Council’s website https://www. snowymonaro.nsw.gov.au/749/ LRC-Members or for more information phone our helpful customer service staff on 1300 345 345.

Personal location beacons PLB’s are pocket sized emergency distress beacons that transmit via a global satellite network. Activated PLB’s with GPS position capability were found by Jindabyne Police to be accurate to within 10 metres on the ground at the time of rescue. The NSW National Parsk and Wildlife Service (NPWS) offer PLBs on a free loan in Kosciuszko National Park when you register your walk with NPWS. For more information please contact NPWS Snowy Region Visitor

Centre on (02) 6450 5600. If you have your own PLB ensure that your beacon is correctly registered with AMSA. Police offer the following advice for year round safety in the snowy mountains. • Check the weather forecast and accept the advice and warnings issued by the Bureau of Meteorology and National Parks and Wildlife Service. • Leave a detailed trip itinerary with somebody who knows you and can notify police if your return is overdue. • Don’t rely on mobile telephones

for emergency communications – cold affects battery life and service can be patchy or non-existent in wilderness areas. • Take a PLB as a reliable means of alerting authorities to an emergency situation where urgent assistance is required. • Ensure your beacon is properly registered with AMSA to give you the best chance of being rescued in an emergency. • Ensure you have the appropriate fitness, experience and equipment for your planned activity.

Everybody’s doing it...

New service supports NSW stroke survivors on the road to recovery Stroke survivors across New South Wales now have access to support when they leave hospital with the launch of the Stroke Foundation Follow Up service. Stroke is one of Australia’s biggest killers and a leading cause of disability, with more than 50,000 new and recurrent strokes occurring nationwide every year. To help fast track patient recovery and reduce hospital re-admission rates, the Stroke Foundation has implemented the new Follow Up service to assist stroke survivors as they return home from hospital. The nib foundation funded Follow Up service is currently on offer at 17 sites across regional and metropolitan areas of the state, including a combination of both public and private facilities. The program provides patients with a call from a health professional after hospital discharge and as well as with information, advice, support and referrals to assist them to better manage their health and stroke recovery. Stroke Foundation NSW Executive Officer, Teresa Howarth, said the service provides access to enhanced care and support to promote recovery for stroke survivors, their carers and family. “During 2015 alone, NSW residents experienced more than 17,000 strokes. It is a sudden and potentially devastating health crisis that strikes without warning, leaving people no time to prepare,” Ms Howarth said. “The Follow Up program fills an existing service gap for stroke survivors and those heavily involved in their recovery by providing much needed support and advice on their return to home, which for some is described as the most challenging phase of their life journey,” she said. Since its recent launch, more than 100 patients

have been referred to the service with plans to reach a total of 1,500 participants over the next 12 months. Lily, a carer for her 70-year-old mother who suffered a stroke in May this year, was one of the first people to access the Follow Up service and said it has significantly helped her mother’s recovery. “I noticed a number of changes in mum after her stroke, but significantly she’d gone from being a very social person to avoiding social contact and losing her self-confidence. She had moments where she felt scared and admitted to having bad thoughts,” she said. “The service provided me with information regarding depression and anxiety after stroke to help me support mum through her recovery. Having a dedicated StrokeConnect officer on hand to answer my questions and offer much needed advice gave me confidence and put my mind at ease that I was there for mum when she needed me most,” she added. nib foundation Chairman, Keith Lynch, said the Follow Up service is a crucial second phase of stroke survivor support that builds upon the success of the My Stroke Journey patient resource. “This support service complements the education resource by better equipping stroke survivors and their carers with the tools and knowledge to ensure they are able to manage ongoing issues and disabilities, as well as helping reduce their risk of having another stroke,” Mr Lynch said. All stroke survivors and carers over the age of 18 years are eligible for the service and the Stroke Foundation works with participating hospitals to confirm patient referrals as part of the hospital’s preparing for discharge process.

Students’ progress in the spotlight Parents and teachers met in the Bombala High School library last Tuesday night to discuss the progress of students so far this year. There was a superb response from parents and very positive interviews were conducted, with some 160 individual sessions taking place. The organisation of the night was handled very efficiently by Raelene Stevenson and Kim Elton from the front office, with Annie Caldwell serving teas and coffees and ringing the bell to mark the end of each round of interviews. Parents were also asked to complete a survey on the organisation of the evening, the school newsletter and whether the annual Awards Assembly should be held in the evening or remain as an afternoon event. This open communication between teachers and parents can lead to very positive outcomes for students and Acting Principal, Andy Winfield would like to thank all the parents for their attendance and all staff for their preparation for the evening. Another parent teacher interview night will be held this evening, September 7.

Tickets are available at the Fabric Salon, the Visitors Centre, the Ex-Services Club and reception at SWHMC. The ticket price includes an afternoon tea that will be available to enjoy after the show. We hope to see you and your resident on Sunday.

As the seasons are changing it is a great time to consider the clothing needs of your family or friend that is a resident at SWHMC. A quick look in the cupboards at your next visit to check if any new pyjamas, underwear or day clothes are needed is always a good idea.

Pictured: The Bombala High School’s Belinda Rodwell sat down with Shirley Hines during the parent teacher evening. Katrina Brownlie discussed her son’s progress with careers advisor, Donna Shelley.

We had two cute little fox terrier visitors recently who called in to say hello to a family member. We love having animals inside the centre, and they are always very welcome as long as they are well controlled and house trained. Residents miss the pets that they have left behind, so really appreciate the opportunity to have time with them. Our Annual general Meeting will be held in November. If you would like to vote for a Board Member or wish to stand for a position on the Board of Directors, you must be a fully paid member of the Committee. The cost is only $11 and you will need to submit your application to the Board for approval prior to voting.

Finance Consultant Whatever your home loan requirements, let me find the best solution for you!

Why use a broker? There are many differences between Banks/Lenders, not restricted to interest rates & fees. They have differing policies as well that can mean the difference between being approved or declined for your dream home. I have access to many different Lenders, which allows me to compare the different options available to you. I will then present options to you, with my recommendation, as to which option I feel is best for your circumstance. First Home Buyers - who have no idea of the requirements or process involved in buying your first home, I can offer you advice. I can give you all the information you need - how much you can borrow, what deposit you need, explain about guarantees and mortgage insurance. I also do all the processing for you, making it as easy as possible for you. Existing home loans- if you want to see if there is a better deal out there for you, I can offer a free review. Investment property - not sure if you can afford that investment property? Don’t know how much equity is available in your existing home? I can look at your options for you. Upgrading- you may not have to wait until you sell your existing home. Let me show you the possibilities. No matter what your circumstance, I am happy to offer my advice.

White colour schemes will always be classic, so if you’re planning on painting the entire house they are a great choice, as you will be far less likely to grow tired of them. With a seemingly endless amount of whites to choose from, the hardest part is choosing the right white for your home. To help take some of the guess work out of the equation, Inspirations Paint have put together expert design advice to help narrow your selection and tips for choosing your final paint colour. Which White is Right? What works for one home may not work for another, so simply copying a friend’s scheme or even one from a magazine or Pinterest can leave you disappointed as there are many factors that contribute to choosing ‘the right white’. According to Inspirations Paint Colour Consultant and Interior Designer, Alex Ace “when selecting a white or neutral wall colour, you need to take into account your flooring type, your furniture, the style you want to create, as well as both the natural and artificial lighting you have throughout your home. Once all these factors have been considered and weighed up, you can then decide which white to choose”. Importance of Lighting: Alex says “it’s important not to underestimate the impact of both natural sunlight and artificial lighting in a room; the appearance of the same colour throughout the whole house can change dramatically from room to room just because the room faces a different orientation or one room has a cool light bulb, whilst another may have a warm light bulb”. This might mean selecting a different colour for your living areas to your bedrooms depending on where they are located in the home, or changing your light globes to create the look you want.

Warm vs Cool Whites Broadly speaking, there are two types of whites; warm and cool and these work most importantly with the lighting in your room. Alex says “warm whites normally have either a yellow, brown or red undertone and work well in rooms that have a cool southern light as they impart a warmth and softness into a cooler room to create a cosy atmosphere”. Try Dulux Antique White U.S.A., Dulux Natural White or Berger Paper Stock. Alex’s favourite white right now is Dulux Natural White, Alex says “it suits an extensive range of architectural styles from traditional through to contemporary and although it is technically a warm white, it’s adaptable to many colour palettes; even the modern cooler greys which are popular at the moment”. Cool whites work well to tone down the warmth in rooms with lots of northern light. According to Alex “the black or blue tint in these cool whites helps to neutralise that bright Australian northern light”. Try Dulux Lexicon Half, Dulux White on White or Berger Rhythm and Soul. Selecting your Final Paint Colour Before you commit to one colour, Inspirations Paint in-store expert, Kath Haynes, suggests collecting a number of paint chips in hues that work for your lighting and décor. Once the colour options have been narrowed, the best tool to use is large hand painted colour samples called Brush-Out Boards, to assist with final colour selection. Kath says “Brush-Out Boards are great because they allow you to move the board around your home to position the paint colour under different lighting conditions and get a feel for the best shade before committing to painting the whole room”.

Hazeldean bull sale

Merino Lifetime Productivity Project

Hazeldean Angus Stud held its annual spring bull sale on property yesterday. The sale was still in action when The Monaro Post went to press, but at that stage, the top-priced bull had sold for $13,000. Pictured, the scene from the new-look sales arena.

New spring lamb campaign Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) has launched its new Spring Lamb campaign which positions lamb as the meat that brings everyone together by celebrating Australia’s diversity. The campaign – under the established ‘We Love Our Lamb’ banner – highlights the central role lamb plays in celebrating the face of modern Australia regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age or ability. The campaign launched last night, with a TV and online commercial featuring appearances from indigenous Australians including Olympian Cathy Freeman, National Rugby League player Greg Inglis and model Samantha Harris. Other Aussies present include Greek-transgender comedian Jordan Raskopoulos, established television presenter Luke Jacobz, rising Bengali-Australian actor Arka Das and a long list of Australian extras, who prove ‘lamb is the ultimate cross-cultural protein’. Utilising multiple channels and activities to touch as many Australians as possible, the innovative campaign will feature the traditional TV and online commercial, outdoor advertising, online platforms such as

Facebook and YouTube, promotion in foodservice outlets as well as unique promotions across independent butchers and all major retailers. The campaign will also use inlanguage outdoor media and social media posts to tailor its communications to languages other than English for the first time. Focusing on areas with diverse backgrounds, it will spread unique messages linking lamb to diversity around sexuality, culture and language with Arabic, Vietnamese, Mandarin and Cantonese translations. For example, the campaign will further engage Australia’s Chinese community across social platforms such as WeChat and Weibo. The outdoor advertising will also speak to the visually impaired community with specific braille placements in key metro sites. MLA Group Marketing Manager Andrew Howie said the Spring Lamb campaign was an opportunity to promote quality Australian lamb to consumers at a peak time for the industry – ultimately driving demand and adding value back to lamb producers.

Market Comment: Fremantle re-join the selling program this week, pushing the national offering to 40,553 bales. The majority of the wool catalogued was freshly shorn and had not been offered previously, a reflection of the recent buoyant market. The fleece market opened to a stronger tone and continued to the week progressed. All types and microns generally enjoyed gains of 10 to 20 cents, with the superfine range coming under close scrutiny, particularly with Sydney hosting a designated superfine sale, where premiums of up to 200 cents emerged for selected lots. c/kg cln

Although the focus was squarely on the better types, the strength also carried through into Good style and part-tender types. The skirting market also continued to perform well, with buyers showing the most interest for well-grown low vm types. Crossbreds had mixed results, weakness in the 30/32 micron range was overshadowed by good support for 25 to 28 microns, and while the oddment market was solid, it closed at similar levels to last sale.

The CSIRO Chiswick Field Station near Armidale in Northern NSW has been announced as the successful candidate site to host the 4th Merino Lifetime Performance (MLP) project flock, following a national expression of interest process. The AWI-funded MLP project is a $4m, 10-year partnership between AWI, the Australian Merino Sire Evaluation Association, and participating stud Merino breeders and site hosts around Australia, which aims to increase the understanding of the genetic capacity for the Merino ewe to deliver high quality wool, lambs and meat throughout its life Up to 135 sires are to be joined to 90 ewes to generate the F1 ewe progeny that will form the basis of the project. At the conclusion of the standard sire evaluation at 1.5 to 2 years of age, AWI will support the ongoing measurement and visual classing of all F1 ewe progeny through four to five joinings and annual shearings. By exploring the impact of selecting rams and ewes using early age performance the MLP is fine-tuning genetic selection

processes and providing confidence in breeding and selection approaches. The project is taking place at sites within four significant sheep producing regions: Balmoral in western Victoria, Temora in the Riverina of NSW, Pingelly in the Great Southern region of WA, and the newly announced site near Armidale in the New England region of NSW which offers the combination of summer dominant rainfall environment and superfine Merino base ewes on the worldclass CSIRO sheep research facility at Chiswick Field Station. AWI’s General Manager of Research, Dr Paul Swan, said “The MLP Project is a great example of passion and commitment of the Australian Merino breeding community, and AWI, for genetic improvement of the Merino sheep - which has played such an important role in the development of Australia as a nation, and will continue to provide the cornerstone of the global apparel wool industry. “We are very pleased to be able to add the CSIRO flock at Chiswick as the 4th hub in this important national project - not

only does the site complement the other three sites, but it also allows us as an industry to preserve and to utilise the ewes from the AWI Breech Flystrike genetic resource flock, which was based at Chiswick.” Two joinings are now complete at the first site at Balmoral in Victoria with the first ewe lambs classed and extensively measured in what will become an annual activity for these ewes. The 600 ewes from 24 sires will be naturally mated to Merino rams next year. Meanwhile at Pingelly and Temora the first drop of lambs are now on the ground. The opportunity now exists for sire owners to nominate their rams for inclusion at the Armidale Temora and Pingelly sites for the 2017 joining of the MLP project. Entrants at sites receive a full range of visual and objective results including professional classer assessed performance, within site breeding values and ASBVs (Australian Sheep Breeding Values). Nominations close 5pm, Friday October 28.

Lovegrass forum for farmers The NSW Farmers Cooma Branch is stepping up the war on local weeds with a special forum on African Lovegrass in Cooma on Monday September 12. Regarded as the ‘scourge of the Monaro’, African lovegrass has infested an estimated 80,000ha in the Monaro Shire. Cooma Branch chair Michael Green said the forum will feature speakers from the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) and Local Land Services (LLS) showcasing the latest research into control measures. “There will be a facilitated Forum following the presentations, where members will be asked to workshop solutions and issues to form a case study which will be considered in the formation of the legislation surrounding the Grasslands component of the Biodiversity Review,” Mr Green said. “This is an opportunity to have real input into a local issue and amend legislation through NSW

Farmers, and an opportunity not to be missed.” Mr Green said the high value grasslands of the Monaro are being invaded by African Lovegrass, impacting on the sustainability of local food and fibre production. “The impact of African Lovegrass is comparable to the rabbit plague,” Mr Green said. “With resistance to herbicides and no biological control agents, African Lovegrass is a real challenge for the sustainability of local farmers and hence we aim to be on the frontline with the hosting of this special forum.” The NSW Farmers African Lovegrass forum will be held on Monday September 12, 10am - 3pm, at the Alpine Hotel in Cooma. It is a NSW Farmers Members only event, however non-Members wishing to attend can contact NSW Farmers Regional Services Manager David Banham on 0428 411 221.

NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) District Service Officer Fred Nichols is calling all Monaro residents to join NSW RFS firefighters for Get Ready Weekend on September 10 and 11 in preparing for the coming bush fire season. The weekend will see volunteer firefighters holding events and activities in Stations at Rocky Plain, Michelago and Creewah, giving a chance for residents to talk about what they can do to Get Ready for bush fires. DSO Fred Nichols said that all residents in the Monaro area need to be prepared for the bush fire season. “Regardless of the weather we have to endure over the coming season, now is the time to Get Ready. “NSW RFS members have been busy preparing for this

season by undertaking hazard reduction burns, maintaining firefighting equipment and undergoing training. “Get Ready Weekend is a chance for Monaro residents to also do their bit. “The events planned in our area, will be, 10/09/2016 Rocky Plains Brigade 10-12pm. Michelago Brigade 113pm and 11/09/2016 Creewah Brigade 10-4pm. Events will include, opportunities to get aboard a fire truck, take a picture with a firefighter and look over their specialist equipment. “I invite people to visit www.rfs.nsw.gov.au and find out where things are planned locally, DSO Fred Nichols said. “Preparing for bush fires is easier than people may think. It could be as simple as talking to your family about what you would do if a bush fire

was to start near them. Get Ready weekend on September 10 and 11 is the ideal opportunity to take that action.� NSW RFS’s Top Five Tips for Bush Fire Preparation on Get Ready Weekend: 1. Trim overhanging trees and shrubs. 2. Mow your lawn and remove all the cuttings. 3. Remove material that can burn around your home (e.g. door mats, wood piles, mulch, leaves, paint, outdoor furniture). 4. Clear and remove all the debris and leaves from the gutters surrounding your home. 5. Prepare a hose or hoses that can reach all around the house.

The 2016 Bookham Ag Bureau Trial has 29 teams entered of 10 randomly drafted Merino Wethers. The trial is c o n d u c t e d under NSW DPI guidelines with wool values based on the previous 12 months average price. Teams entered came from areas across NSW and included Yass, Boorowa, Monaro, Lockhart, Deniliquin, Parkes and Harden.

Lifetime ewe program The popular Lifetime Ewe Management program (LTEM) is being further expanded with a new 3-year investment from Australian Wool Innovation (AWI). To date over 2,400 sheep producers across Australia, representing about a quarter of the national ewe flock have participated in LTEM. The latest funding of over $1.6 million is to expand the program to about 1400 additional sheep producers over the next three years, with a particular focus on Merino specialists. LTEM improves sheep producers’ understanding of the influence ewe nutrition and management has on the performance of both the ewe and her progeny. LTEM participants have typically recorded a lift in weaning rates of 7-8 per cent and a significant reduction in ewe mortality. Managed by Rural Industries Skill Training (RIST) and facilitated via sheep industry consultants, LTEM is based on groups of five to seven wool producers that meet six times per year. During each hands-on session the groups visit each participating farm and develop the skills and confidence

needed to increase reproduction efficiency. The LTEM program was developed using the research outcomes of the AWI funded Lifetime Wool project (2001-08). General Manager of Research with AWI, Dr Paul Swan, said since 2005, AWI has invested $59 million in animal health and welfare research, development and extension (RD&E) which included funding for 70-75% of all LTEM training sessions since the program started in 2006/07. “The success of LTEM fits well with the new strategic intent of the company to increase the reproduction rate of the national flock and in particular, Merino ewes. For this reason, we are looking at focusing our investment on the first year of the LTEM course so more levy payers benefit and AWI maximizes the return on investment for our levy payers. At the same time, we are piloting new initiatives such as the mob-size lambing project, the Merinos-tomarket workshop and Lambs Alive training course which build on and complement the LTEM foundation.

Tiny triffids in the paddock noticed by Local Land Services On several occasions over the past few weeks South East Local Land Services staff have noted the presence of a tiny native plant species underfoot when visiting properties in the Yass district to discuss native vegetation values and clearing with land managers. The species is a sundew. It lurks amongst the grass, silently devouring small insects that move through the damp corners of paddocks. When land managers are made aware of sundews they are

keen to learn more about the important role these plants play in a paddock. The presence of sundews is an indication of habitat that supports diversity and some of our most vulnerable and sensitive species. Sundews are a diverse group of carnivorous plants that live in nearly every continent on the planet. Fifty per cent of all known sundew species occur in Australia, and 10 or so species are native to New South Wales.

One common species in the Yass area, Drosera hookeri, is only around an inch wide and looks much like a moss until inspected closer. One endangered species, Aldrovanda vesiculosa or Waterwheel Plant, even lives in freshwater lagoons! The best places to find more common sundews are seasonally wet areas and even in pasture where the soil has not been disturbed. The real fascination with these plants is in the

carnivorous nature of the leaves which are covered in tentacles that produce a dewlike droplet of sweet sticky digestive enzymes. When an insect lands on the leaf it quickly becomes trapped in the ‘dew’ as it struggles to escape. The leaf then folds over it, like a venus fly-trap, immobilising and suffocating the victim. Then it slowly absorbs the nutrients. This biological adaptation means they extract some of their nutrients, like nitrogen, directly from the bodies of

digested insects. It is for this reason that they can live in nutrient-deficient soils. Most sundews are herbaceous and perennial, meaning that the aboveground parts of the plant die down each year. Later in the season you are likely to see the flowering stems, with white or pink flowers on top of the sticky stems. So next time you are in the bottom paddock checking the fences, take a moment to inspect the drama unfolding

at ground level – you might be surprised at the diversity right at your feet. If you would like more information about natural values and biodiversity in your area, are considering clearing native vegetation on your property or would like assistance managing your native vegetation, please contact Laura Canackle at South East Local Land Services, Yass on 02 6118 7708 or email laura.canackle@ lls.nsw.gov.au

the event of an emergency animal disease outbreak or natural disaster. The first step in recording movements on the NLIS is ensuring you have access to the database. You can register or log in to the NLIS by visiting www.nlis.com.au. Once you have access you can have a look at the devices on your property by going to ‘view devices on my property’. The list generated should reflect all of the tags that are in cattle as well as any tags you have bought but yet to apply to stock. Remember that white tags, or breeder devices, are applied to animals born on your property, while orange tags, or post-breeder devices, are applied to animals not born on your property (i.e.

can be used to replace lost or damaged devices for cattle introduced to your property). Many people find that when they log onto the database for the first time there are a number of devices on their property that should not be there, either because animals have been bought or sold, tags have gotten lost, or animals have died. The next step is to do a PIC reconciliation to ensure the database accurately reflects the animals and tags on your property. There is an excellent user guide available under ‘Help tools’ on the NLIS website. If you have difficulty with your NLIS account further support is available on 1800 654 743.

Livestock identification requirements The National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) is Australia’s system for the identification and traceability of cattle, sheep and goats. South East Local Land Services is reminding land managers that compliance with NLIS is critical to providing lifetime traceability for livestock and improving disease and residue control. NLIS also underpins market access for livestock and their products and deserves part of the credit for the increase in market value of Australian cattle. In NSW, NLIS requirements are enforced under the Stock Diseases Regulation 2009. District Veterinarian, Kate Sawford said regulation requires all cattle, sheep and

goats to be identified with a permanent identifier (NLIS device) before they leave the property on which they are kept. “Over the past three months there has been a notable increase in the number of cattle emergency tags sold through the Braidwood saleyard with the majority of tags going into untagged cattle,� Dr Sawford said. The maximum penalty for committing the offence of sending stock into the saleyard without an NLIS device is $550 when a penalty notice is served, or $11,000 were such a matter to be taken to court. As of 1 November 2016, producers must comply with NLIS tagging requirements

at the Braidwood saleyard to avoid being issued a warning letter and, in the case of repeat non-compliance, a penalty notice and possible court action. Each time livestock are bought, sold or moved from one property to another that movement must be recorded on the NLIS database. If livestock are bought, sold or moved through a saleyard, this movement is recorded by the saleyard. For private sales (i.e. sales and movements that do not take place via a saleyard), the buyer/receiver of the livestock must record the livestock movement onto their property. The vendor/ sender of the livestock is not obligated to record the movement off their property,

although they may do so. Recording all stock movements in the NLIS database is critical to ensuring stock have lifetime traceability. Lifetime traceability is a requirement for beef destined for the European Union, and may be required by other markets in the future. To maintain lifetime traceability cattle must carry a white NLIS breeder device that was attached on their property of birth and there must be no gaps in the movement history of cattle as recorded on the NLIS database. Recording stock movements is also critical to ensuring the NLIS database reflects the ‘real world’ situation on farms. Information from the NLIS database would be critical in

Wednesday September 7, 2016

Cooma’s generosity provides footy gear for Fijian children Ryan and Rebecca Morgan and their family travelled to Fiji in August where they distributed boots, football equipment and Cooma jerseys to local kids. Ryan’s father was born in Suva, Fiji in 1946 and moved to Australia in 1956. The family had always talked about going back to see where he grew up and meet up with relatives that remained in Fiji. From August 1-14 they travelled the main island of Viti Levu. Starting in Nadi they travelled south to Pacific Harbour for three nights then Suva for three days before travelling to the north to the top of Viti Levu and to Raki Raki for four days.

From there, it was back to Nadi for the remainder of the trip. The main purpose of the trip was to reconnect with family members, but Ryan says that was just one goal. While staying at Uprising Resort in Pacific Harbour they met a young Fijian man called Nico. “When talking to Nico we realised we both had a love for Rugby (As do 90% of all Fijians). On our last night at the resort I gave Nico one of Cooma Rugby’s jerseys just to say thanks for his great hospitality. It wasn’t long after that and Nico had invited me to play in their Rugby team at a nearby village of Navua,” Ryan said.

“This was definitely a major highlight of the trip and the hospitality and kindness shown by Nico and his side, Standard Nakuva Rugby, not to mention the opposing sides good will. The game itself was like playing in a game of Seven’s Rugby but with 15 a side. Very different to what we play over here but thoroughly enjoyable and very physical.” Ryan described the postmatch ritual where the two teams huddled together for prayers and song to thank each other for the game, which he says was another highlight. “It was amazing to see how much Rugby means for these people and how little they have. Nakavu not only share their jerseys because they only have 15 jerseys but they share socks, shorts and boots as well,” he said. After leaving Suva the family travelled to the north of the island to Wananavu Resort, Raki Raki, to meet up with some family at the small village of Vunitogoloa, which was affected by the

cyclone in February this year. “When meeting the family in Vunitogoloa it was amazing to see how generous and welcoming they were after how much they had been through,” Ryan said. Ryan’s uncle, who is the chief of the village, took the family out on his fishing boat to the nearby islands where you cannot step foot without permission from the chief, which Ryan says was a great honour. The family finished their visit to Vunitogoloa by handing out jerseys, football boots and chocolates to the kids of the village. “It was great to see the smiles on the kid’s faces when receiving something so little but that meant so much to them,” Ryan said.

“I have never met a nicer, more generous race of people then the Fijians. For people with so little they go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and would give you it all just so you are happy.” The Morgan’s praised the support of Cooma locals for their efforts in donating football boots and jerseys. “A special mention to the Cooma Colts and also the Cooma Red Devils for donating jerseys to hand out to the Fijian kids. This small gesture means so much to the Fijian locals and the joy and happiness it brings means the world to such a small village that has been through so much with the recent Hurricane. Thanks Cooma!”

Cooma Field and Game victorious in Interclub Challenge

Sunday saw the second leg of the Interclub challenge run between the Cooma Gun Club and the Cooma Field and Game. The event

is in its second year and is proving popular amongst the shooters of both clubs. Initiated to boost numbers attending the clubs August shoots it is paying dividends with 36 shooters at Cooma Gun Club two Sundays ago and 60 shooters at Middlingbank last Sunday. As much as the numbers are the excuse it would be un Australian not to assume that interclub rivalry isn’t far from the surface. Both clubs use shotguns and shoot at clay pigeons, but some would suggest that is where the similarity ends. Cooma Gun Club shoot “Down the Line” effectively targets flying away from you at various angles whereas Field and Game simulates game shooting whether it be a rabbit running or a target flying up,

down, in or across. Cooma Gun Club led after the first leg, proving too strong at their own discipline on home grounds. With a 39 target margin they had an air of confidence on the morning of the Field and Game day. The Field and Game members weren’t all that keen to let the cup go having won it last year and turned out in numbers to defend the title. In a close well spirited day, Field and Game

managed to make up the deficit and win by the smallest of margins. This will no doubt spur both clubs on for next year’s event. Everybody shot well and really enjoyed the comradery of the event.

Local skiers win AGL Energy in Action Scholarships The Kangaroo Hoppet is an international cross country ski event, held annually at Falls Creek in Victoria. The event, which is part of the 20 race Worldloppet series spread across five continents, attracts over 1000 skiers and this year there were 27 nations represented at the start. The combination of the main 42km Kangaroo Hoppet with shorter 21km and 7km events ensures the event caters for skiers of all ages and abilities from Olympic and National Team skiers through to citizen racers to recreational skiers. Over 40 skiers from the Monaro region headed south to take part, with Aimee Watson, who grew up in the region before moving on to become a vet at Cobram, was third woman overall and best placed Australian behind Deedra Irwin and Mary Rose from USA. Brooke Darlington from Jindabyne was the fourth woman. The men’s event was won by Matt

Gleso from the USA ahead of Phill Bellingham from Mount Beauty and Nick Montgomery from Melbourne. Ben Sim, who grew up in Cooma and is a four time Hoppet winner (last on the podium in 2009), has been back living at Perisher this season and after some great form at championship races during the season it was no surprise to see him take fourth place in the Hoppet. Cooma local Peter Brennan who skied in the first Kangaroo Hoppet in 1991 has completed the 42km event 22 times. Cross country skiing is very much a family activity and three generations of Brennans took part in the this year’s Hoppet.

Archdiocesan Athletics Colts girls show potential Last Thursday August 30, students from primary and secondary competed at the Archdiocesan Athletics carnival at the AIS in Canberra. Students competed in both track and field events, with 20 students placing in the top three in at

least one of their events. Congratulations to all students on their participation and effort on the day. When final results are sent out we will list those students who have qualified for the state carnivals in Sydney.

Well done to the Cooma Colts girls who travelled to GIO Stadium and took on Belconnen Sharks, in a little curtain raiser prior to the Raiders V Storm game. After several months of training, learning the game and new skills,

they took on a bigger and more experienced Sharks side, and although they went down 20-12, it was a fantastic first up effort and they should be very proud of themselves. The Colts are hoping to enter

a girls team in the U13-16s Competition next year, so any more girls interested in the playing rugby league, please contact Rob Zusak on 0413045613

Indiana’s impressive season Former Bombala girl, Indiana White has had an outstanding show season with her pony, Wilgo Peekaboo this year, racking up some pretty impressive achievements throughout the “Out West Show Run” held over two and a half weeks. This included the Saddle

Pony Championships in Parkes, and other events in Tullamore, Trundle, Bedgerabong, Peak Hill and Condoblin. Throughout this time she picked up a number of titles, including Champion Led Part Bred Welsh at the Championships, as well as Trundle Reserve Champion Led

Pony and Bedgerabong Reserve Champion Led Pony. She also earned three first places in her riding class. Indi would now like to thank her coach, Kristen Cowdroy for all her help and support, and looks forward to trekking out west again next year.

Cooma Colts charging into semi final matches Highland Ground Spreading Under 11s The Highland Ground Spreading Under 11s had to take on the equal ‘top of the table’ Crookwell on Sunday in Canberra. There’s not much between these two teams, and the games are always hotly contested with usually a minimal margin between them. This game was no different. With the full contingent of players available, it was good to have four fresh on the bench. The game started off at a hectic pace, with a slightly slippery surface. Cooma made some early mistakes turning the ball over, but soon found their rhythm. Strong runs from the forwards Tom Bromfield, Cooper Inskip and Jordan Williams. It laid the platform for Kristian Zusak, to dart out of dummy half to score the first try. The Colts outside backs, Toby Inskip, Jacory Hart and Thomas King were being peppered from the

fifth tackle kicks. Crookwell finally managed to get a well placed kick in, and they locked up the score. After the tap restart, the ball went through many sets of hands, and Jordan busted through to score a great try. Crookwell hit back moments later, to be two points in front. With not long to go in the first half, the first receiver Louie Mould was poised to kick on the fifth, but dummied and snuck over to score. The Colts went into the break, leading 16 to 12. In the second half, the super-subs of Charlie Wiggins, Jack Kleven, Jack McPherson and Diezel Barrett were let loose on the park. Some good lead up work from Maison Turner and Justin McDonald allowed the Colts to get into a good position in Crookwell’s half. The dynamic Talon who was playing dummy half, somehow snuck through the solid defence to score, taking the Colts ahead by 10. Crookwell never gave

up and kept coming, crossing the line to cut the margin down to four points, 22 to 18. With the clock all but wound down, the Crookwell side managed to score right on the bell. They then converted after the bell, to take the match by two points, 24 to 22. It was a hard fought and tough, defensive game. All the Colts aimed up and will get another crack against a pretty handy side next week. Best and fairest points: 3 Louie Mould, 2 Kristian Zusak, 1 Tom Bromfield. Choc Awards: Talon, Tom and Louie. Medal Kristian Zusak. McDonalds Under 15s The McDonalds Under 15s took on Gungahlin on Saturday in a wet and muddy Northbourne Oval for a place in the grand final. After beating Gungahlin twice this year, the boys knew it wasn’t going to be easy. And it wasn’t. Gungahlin had turned up to play and with the wet ground it looked to be a low scoring affair. Cooma struck first from a kick return with Keegan Caldwell running 60m to score under the posts. Bailey Rogers converted the try to take an early 6-0 lead. Cooma were then made to defend their line for three consecutive sets but Gungahlin couldn’t find a way through. Will Dean, Remy Oldrey and Tyler Rees making some great one on one tackles to save certain tries. Strong carries from the engine room trio of Nick Coote, Sean Dixon and Damon Fanning tried to get Cooma back over the advantage line, but Gungahlin kept coming back. A great solo effort from Darnell Bartlett to break the line and run 40m extended Cooma’s lead and a sideline conversion from Bailey had Cooma back on top. The game turned into a grind with no team backing down. Kobe Watts and Remy Oldrey came into help the forwards with some great dummy half runs to try

and spark something for Cooma but unfortunately with the conditions, Cooma turned the ball over far too often. With the possession swinging in Gungahlin’s favour, they were able to score out wide and just before half time, they struck again to hit the sheds, 12-8 to Cooma. Ball control was stressed at half time and playing to our tempo in the second half. Archie Allen along with Cassidy Taylor took the ball up all day and got through a mountain of defence but again, Cooma couldn’t crack Gungahlin. Consecutive penalties piggybacked Gungahlin up the field where they struck and converted to have Cooma behind in the scoreboard for the first time all season. Keegan Caldwell and Bailey Rogers did all they could to get Cooma back into the game but the dropped balls continued to mount. The last 10 mins were close but the calmness shown from James Hayden and Nick Zusak, both playing beyond their years had Gungahlin nervous. Jimmy, Nick and Tyler guided Cooma round the park all day and with only minutes remaining Cooma had one last set on Gungahlin’s line. They were unable to capitalise and Gungahlin inflicted Cooma’s first loss in 2016. Full time Cooma 12 Gungahlin 14. Gungahlin deserved it and wanted it more than Cooma but hopefully the boys learn from it and can hit back this week. Sportspower U10s The Sports Power U10’s played Sth Tuggeranong Knights in the minor semi-finals in very wet and cold conditions. It had the potential to be a game of dropped ball and slow play, but the boys came out ready to win and showed great ball control and held a strong defensive line. Rhys cleverly played and all round strong game directing the team and muscling up in defence. Lee Morgan’s performance was on point and he gained valuable meters and tackled hard from marker. Lucas

Umback stepped up and found strength in his tackles to push the Knights back. Jacob Smith showed safe hands from dummy half in wet slippery conditions to get the ball moving. Tyler Walden attacked the line hard trying to find the gaps and bust through the Knights line. Charlie Fleming aimed up in defence pulling off some hard hits and hitting the ball up even harder. Zane Usher-Rodahl earnt himself the Hitman award with hard strong tackles and hitting the ball up straight and hard to gain good metres. Jack Roberson also showed off his strength with some great tackles pushing the knight’s attackers back. Cameron Filtness although unwell didn’t miss a beat given good ball to the back line and tackling hard. Judah-Fia Filiga made some great line breaks out wide and stood strong in the middle pulling off some solid tackles. Mitchell Reid was safe on his wing throwing himself into tackles and attacking every kick our halves put up. Clayton Clarke also kept his wing safe tackling all that came his way given the Knights no options out wide. Joshua Williams didn’t mess about when we needed some meters and hit the ball up straight and hard with power. Thomas Rudd stood on guard at fullback and in the wet conditions he managed to still return the kicks with speed and he pull off some great tackles. Hugh Waldren set himself in the middle of the pack chasing down the Knights and putting them on the ground, he also talked well throughout the game. With little to no errors and holding a super strong line of defence the Colts came out on top 30-10. The boys have found their form at the right end of the season and are really showing that they are a complete team. Try scorers – Rhys Cleverly, Mitchell Reid, Thomas Rudd, Cameron Filtness, Lee Morgan, and Charlie Fleming. Conversions by Rhys Cleverly, Mitchell Reid, Cameron Filtness. Hitman Award went to Zane Usher-Rodahl and Player of the week to Lee Morgan. The Colts Play Crookwell in the major semi final this weekend. Thanks for all the great support given from parents, family and friends. We hope to see you all there again this weekend to support the boys.

Club fours matches this weekend Nicole’s HSBC nomination Wednesday bowls got off to a disrupted start but eventually the sun came out and all games were completed. Peter Harris played swinging lead for Mary Boller and Kevin Jackson and for Ron Wainwright and Renate Winckel. With the score 9/7 in Kevin’s team’s favour it looked like being a close encounter but something went wrong, with Kevin’s team winning 22/9. Perhaps the swinging lead wasn’t as impartial as he is supposed to be. Bob Douglass, Mario Frezza and Geoff Venables scored five shots on each of ends three and seven to lead 14/5 against Sergio Roncelli, Alby Marshall and Paul Cannell. Although Paul’s team recovered to some extent, Bob Mario and Geoff were the winners 23/19. Max Butler, Mary Phillips and Neil McGregor had a 12/7 lead over Bob Lahy, Mick Mayhew and Leonie Snell on 12 but were unable to match their opponents over the remaining ends with Bob, Mick and Leonie winning 19/15. No social bowls on Saturday due no doubt to the weather, however three hardy souls had

a short roll up before retiring to warmer places. Sunday was much improved but attracted only 12 players. Ken Rees, Richard Nichols and Mark Buckley were quickly in to stride against Jack Sajina, Steve Lapham and Darren Collins to lead 18/4 on 13 and double figures became the target for Jack, Steve and Darren. This became reality courtesy four shots on each of ends 14 and 18 with Ken, Richard and Mark winning 23/13. Paul Schulz, Renate Winckel and Mike Mannile were 7/7 with Ron Wainwright , Max Butler and Paul Cannell. Paul, Renate and Mike were on seven for seven ends and eventually made it to 10. Ron, Max and Paul made it to 15. There were 16 one shot ends. Next Saturday September 10 the following matches in Club Fours are scheduled. Game (1) R. Wainwright, S Lapham, B Seears and P Cannell v M Frezza, J Vincent, I Mondello and P Marsicano. (2) A Crowe, R Venables, D Collins and J Schoon v P Harris, S Seears, R Russell and M Storta.

Jindabyne Bushpigs treasurer, registrar and manager of the girls’ teams, Nicole Raine, has been nominated for the HSBC volunteer of the year. Nicole was involved with the Miss Piggies as a player for five seasons before she was injured in a car accident, cutting her career short. Not willing to take a back seat, Nicole threw committed herself to her work off the field and has been a massive asset for the club in recent years. Nicole has played a pivotal role in the development of the junior programs, particularly with the girls. Between the ages of 13 and 16

there is no competition for the girls to play football so Nicole and the Bushpigs committee organise events for them so they do not lose them to other sports. Nicole said she is honoured to be nominated for the award and is hopeful of receiving either a $5,000 or $10,000 grant from HSBC. “I’m pretty flattered, pretty chuffed. Fingers crossed that we go well because the prize pool would do a lot for our little club,” she said. Nicole said that one of the main priorities for the club would be transport for the juniors as the nearest home away game is over two hours’ drive.

Bombala golf results On Wednesday August 31 the ladies played a Par for J Muir Trophy. With the weather wet early the ladies decided they would take a chance and have a game.

Lady Tigers victorious The Cooma Lady Tigers travelled to Canberra for their grand final match against Belnorth. So far the Lady Tigers had only lost one game our of 18 rounds, won their preseason and minor premiership and were hoping to finishing their great season on a high. Things started well for the Tigers when a corner ball from Miruna Moruz found the head of Emily Perkin less than 10 minutes into the game giving the Tigers early points. 1-0 .

THE BOWLO BISTRO Open 12 - 2pm for Lunch Open 5:30pm for dinner

Keeper Sam DeRuijter saved a great ball which looked to level the game. Two handballs by Cooma gave Belnorth a chance down their end but their shot was too big, allowing Cooma to get the ball back. Shots at goal by Emily Perkin and a great header from Libby Goggin were putting the pressure on Belnorth defence which was beginning to show some cracks. Great play from the back of the field with a ball from Alicia Rampal to Tamara Lloyd had Miruna Moruz

in the position she needed to take a shot but unluckily she sent it high. An offside ruling put Cooma back on defence but was cleared with ease by centre backs Camilla McDonald and Candice Geach. Only minutes before the half time whistle Alicia Rampal popped a ball in the net giving Cooma a great 2-0 lead into half time. Back out on the pitch the ladies knew 2-0 wasn’t enough to get them over the line against a determind Belnorth side. Posession was in favour of the

Piglets U10s premiers! After a fabulous 2016 season, Saturday saw the mighty First Tracks Under 10s Piglets take the field at Vikings Park, Erindale to play their Grand Final against Wests. The weather looked threatening, much like the competition, but it certainly didn’t keep the Jindabyne supporters away, or dampen the Piglets

spirits. The tunnel formed by the Jindabyne supporters to clap the Under 10s onto the field was truly special, with parents, friends, family, Club President, players past and present, notably Captain Steve Rompannen who was released from hospital on Tuesday, a number of the class teachers of the players, JCS Principal Deb Hughes and various Bushpigs fanatics, tragics and diehards. The Wests team came out very strongly, playing a very tough first half. The Piglets played out of their skins, with some amazing tackles and great runs. The first try of the match went to Riley Duggan, after a brilliant passage of play with multiple phases, with almost every team member touching the ball. Despite a half time score of Wests 20 – to Jindabyne 5, the Piglets were well and truly in the game, and the tries scored against them were largely from brilliant individual break aways by the talented Wests players. Super Manager Paula Falconer provided water, oranges and

words of wisdom at half time, and super Coach Damian Thrum clearly had an emotional, yet eloquent speech, as the Piglets came out absolutely firing in the second half. Not long into the second half, the First Tracks Under 10s Piglets began what will no doubt go down in history as one of the most incredible second half fight

backs of all time. An amazing run from Owen Thrum ignited the crowd, and with the forwards doing a phenomenal job clearing out, they opened up the opportunity for a superb line break from Rennie Falconer, who passed to Riley Duggan to score. Riley then converted the try, and the mighty Piglets were back in the game, Piglets 12 - Wests 28. After a number of huge scrums from the Piglets, with the front row more than holding their own, supported by the amazing second rowers Madi Williams and Eden Klem, the Piglets began to maintain possession and dominate both the territory and the play. Once again, after a brilliant run from Owen Thrum and quick clean out from the forwards, Riley Duggan crossed for his third try of the day, a grand final hat trick. Riley again converted his own try, bringing the score to Jindy Piglets 19- Wests 28. By this stage the supporters were beginning to really come into their own, with Vikings Park being rocked by the sound of the

“Piglets” chant. For a moment, we were concerned that perhaps the crowd was overwhelming the Piglets, but they simply took in the moment, and lifted to an absolutely outstanding new level. Riley Duggan crossed for his fourth, and converted, Jindy 26Wests 35. By this stage, the Wests players were well and truly rattled, w h e r e a s the Piglets held their composure and with some quick thinking by halfback, Kane Davis, taking a number of quick taps after repeated o f f s i d e infringements from Wests, the Piglets were able to march up the field, resulting in an awesome try to Liam Duggan in the corner, bringing the score to Piglets 31 Wests 35. The crowd was going absolutely berserk, sending a number of parent’s heart rates through the roof, and Coach Damian Thrum was almost ready to pass out. Not so the Piglets, who again held their composure and the ball, and capitalised on repeated infringements from Wests, steadily advanced towards the try line. Time was getting short, however, the Piglets dug deep and kept throwing themselves at the line, edging ever closer. A proper nail biter, right to the end, after a number of phases of pick and drives from the forwards, with Charlie Klem very unfortunate not to go over, eventually the Piglets played the ball through the hands, and scored right on the bell, with Kane Davis scoring a phenomenal try! PIGLETS WIN!!!!

MITSUBISHI MOTORS

Mitsubishi in the Monaro The Mitsubishi vehicle marque first arrived in Australia in the 1960s when the imported Colt was introduced. In 1980, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation of Japan acquired the Chrysler vehicle manufacturing facility at Tonsley Park and engine plant in Lonsdale, South Australia, and Mitsubishi Motors Australia was formed. Under the Mitsubishi banner, the manufacturing site produced the highly successful Sigma, Colt, Magna and 380 passenger cars. A total of almost 1.1 million vehicles were manufactured for both local and export markets. In parallel with local manufacture, the Mitsubishi range of imported vehicles was expanded to include the Galant and Lancer passenger car range and Pajero SUV and Triton light commercial range. In February of 2008, Mitsubishi Motors Australia transitioned from local production to a full import strategy for the Australian market. In 2011, Mitsubishi’s all-electric city car, the i-MiEV (Mitsubishi innovative Electric Vehicle)

became the first volume-produced EV to be sold in Australia. In March 2014, the Outlander PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle), the world’s first plug-in hybrid SUV, was introduced to the Australian market, paving the way for a new generation of Mitsubishi products with advanced, highly fuel-efficient plug-in hybrid systems. Product lines today include the Mirage and Lancer ranges, the ASX, Outlander, Pajero Sport and Pajero SUV’s and the Triton 2x4 and 4x4 utilities. In 2015, Mitsubishi Motors Australia sold 71,743 units to establish a new import sales record and finish fifth overall in the market. Mitsubishi Motors Australia has its headquarters in Tonsley Park, South Australia, while the company maintains regional offices in New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and Queensland and more than 200 dealerships Australia-wide.
