VIRUS COMING TO CAPE YORK

Get jab before COVID arrives By MATT NICHOLLS

CAPE York has weaved and ducked over the past two years to avoid the spread of COVID-19, but the virus appears to be just days away from arriving in our part of the world. As the Omicron variant spreads throughout Queensland and even more rapidly in NSW and Victoria, Cape York leaders and health officials believe we are on the cusp of getting our first cases. Cook Shire mayor Peter Scott said he hoped that unvaccinated people would rush to get their jab before Christmas in a bid to stop

hospitals from being overwhelmed in the new year. “All I ask is for everyone to please go and get vaccinated. The best scientific advice is that being vaccinated will reduce deaths and hospitalisations,” he said. “We know the virus is coming to Cape York but as a community we can have a say on what that impact is going to be.” The Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service is keeping some of its major vaccination clinics open over the holidays to give locals every opportunity to get a last-minute jab.

THIS WAS FOR YOU ...

ANYONE who grew up in Mapoon over the last 50 years has never been able to step foot inside a church in their home town. That changed last week when the Mapoon Memorial Church was officially opened. While the momentous occasion was too late for a generation of Elders who lobbied for decades to have a new church built, the opening closed a painful chapter for the Mapoon people, who were displaced by the Queensland government in the 1960s.

Quick-thinking captain beaches vessel off Cape By MATT NICHOLLS

A CRISIS was averted last week when the skipper of a barge bound for Innisfail nearly sunk off the coast of Cape York. The actions of the captain of the Wattle probably saved the newly-bought vessel, although he did require some luck. Making its way from Darwin, the former Navy boat had made it successfully across the Gulf of Carpentaria and through the Torres Strait when it started taking on water as it turned to go down the east coast of Cape York. Bronwyn Tully, speaking from Turtle Head Island, told Cape York Weekly that they were phoned on Wednesday night and told the Wattle had been beached nearby. “We got a call from the owner in Innisfail and it was just at sunset so we went outside and we could see the mast lights,” she said. “The captain had turned it around and aimed at one of our

The Wattle beached on Turtle Head Island after it started taking on water.

beaches ... but he picked the rocky beach so he was very, very lucky. “There have been a few boats beached there before but that was the first one that deliberately beached itself there.” On Thursday, the skipper was able to manoeuvre the Wattle off the beach and to a sandier beach at Turtle Head so they could fix the vessel at low tide. Rusty Tully lent a helping

hand and the three-man crew were able to enjoy a coffee and a hot shower on the island. “The ship was seaworthy but there was rust around an exhaust pipe and that’s where the water came through,” Bronwyn said. “It was lucky they had a welder on board and Rusty gave them some metal sealant – a type of putty.” The Wattle was steaming away on Friday and from all re-

ports had managed to stop the water leak. Bronwyn said there was rarely a dull moment on Turtle Head Island and that they were more than happy to lend a hand. “When you live in a remote part of Australia that’s just what you do – you help each other out,” she said. “They were appreciative of the help and we were more than happy to give it.”

A SPACEPORT in Cape York would have a significant impact on the Queensland economy if the project goes ahead. Space Centre Australia, which hopes to build a launch site near Weipa, recently commissioned a Canberra based firm to produce an economic impact study on the project and industry in general. Chief executive officer James Palmer said the final result brought good news. “The Total Addressable Market and Potential Economic Impact study is exciting as this level of analysis has not been undertaken in the context of launch infrastructure in Australia,” he said.

“This analysis was developed in conjunction with the Centre for International Economics.” Mr Palmer said the global space sector was set to almost triple in the next 20 years, from US$450 billion currently to US$1.1 trillion by 2040. “Countries will continue to be reliant on foreign launch facilities with the capability of launching medium to large vehicles,” he said. “This potential provides Space Centre Australia with significant opportunity, as current launch facilities reach capacity through the launch of small payloads, particularly in the USA and China.

“An Australian large launch facility like Space Centre Australia will be in a position to capture large payload launches from countries that don’t have large launch capability. “Multiple countries governments, military, and businesses, choose to launch large satellites into both LEO and GEO orbits. “These types of launches can only be addressed from several launch locations globally. “Weipa is one such location.” Mr Palmer said that by 2030, the federal government aimed to increase the size of the Australian space industry from the current $5 billion to $12 billion. “The market for Space Centre

Australia’s services could be up to $610 million a year by 2028, with potential total revenue of up to $5.7 billion between 2022 and 2032,” the CEO said. “The reports show that in a typical operating year by 2030, it is projected that SCA’s activities could increase Australian GDP by 0.06 per cent. “Most of this increase will be experienced in Queensland, where gross state product is expected to be 0.3 per cent ($1.416 million) higher than otherwise in 2030.” The SCA proposal has yet to be formally lodged, with land use agreements and environmental studies still pending.

Cattle property helping girls’ growth WEIPA BOWLS CLUB A PILOT program for teenager girls that focused on developing confidence, self esteem and self development has been hailed as a success. Over the course of the year, 47 girls from Napranum visited Wolverton Station, usually in

groups of eight, for three days of activities on the working cattle property. Emma Jackson, who founded the program called Swift Teens, said the girls had all shown signs of growth during their two stints at Wolverton.

“There was a lot of interpersonal development,” she said. “There were a number of activities with horses and cattle which helped build confidence, self awareness, communication, relationships, trust and empowerment.”

The program was backed by Rio Tinto’s Community Development Fund and Ms Jackson said she hoped she could secure long-term funding to keep the program running for many years to come. More coverage – Page 15

Health service gears up for virus TORRES and Cape Hospital and Health Service will use the Christmas period to re-energise and prepare for the influx of COVID-19 cases that appear inevitable to arrive in the region. The health service’s travelling vaccination teams will be put on pause, although those wanting to get immunised should still be able to get their jabs at health clinics and hospitals. CEO Bev Hamerton said local nursing staff would be undertaking additional training to be able to provide the Pfizer vaccine. “Under national pandemic emergency legislation, additional training is needed for nursing staff to deliver the COVID-19 vaccines,” she said. “Our travelling vaccination team nursing staff have all done this mandatory training but not all our locally-based primary healthcare centre staff. “Selected members of our primary healthcare centre nursing staff across the region have been undertaking this mandatory training to allow them to deliver the Pfizer vaccine and maintain vaccine availability in their communities if required through the holiday break. “A major benefit of this – and not just over the Christmas-New Year break but longer term – is that once community members have made their choice to get vaccinated, they don’t have to wait for

a scheduled visiting vaccination clinic to do so. “They can just go to their primary healthcare centre where a member of the locally based staff will be able to immunise them. “Communities where local staff will be able to administer COVID-19 vaccinations currently include Wujal Wujal, Napranum, Aurukun, Coen, Kowanyama and Laura, along with Erub (Darnley), Iama (Yam) and Horn islands and the Kubin community on Moa Island, with more coming online.

“Vaccinations also will continue being available throughout the holidays at private pharmacies at Weipa, Bamaga and Cooktown. “Meanwhile, our travelling vaccination teams will return refreshed from January 10 to restart the visiting vaccination program in our region. “Our new year vaccination clinics will be promoted locally, on health service social media and dates and times also will be available on our website. “We will be focusing particular-

ly next year on delivering booster vaccinations to the fully vaccinated, as well as continuing to offer first and second doses as required.” Ms Hamerton said the health service would next year start offering vaccinations to children aged from 5 to 11 years, in line with national recommendations. “The dose is one-third of the dose approved for those aged 12 and over and should be administered in two doses at least 8 weeks apart,” she said. The CEO said she wanted to

take the opportunity to thank the health service’s vaccination teams for their work. “I’d like to give a big shout-out to all our team – from our nurses, to our health workers, our admin team, operational staff, and infrastructure team – for their unwavering commitment and dedication to helping keep our communities safe during a very challenging time for all,” she said. “I’d also like to thank our diverse communities for their response to our vaccination program and our partners, including our local councils and mayors, community leaders and Elders and our partners, including the Royal Flying Doctor Service and Apunipima Cape York Health Council. “We would not have made the great strides we have in vaccinating our communities without everyone working together.” Ms Hamerton said the health service was well prepared for any outbreak of COVID-19 in the region and would be able to stand up staff to assist with vaccination and any response required. “Testing for COVID-19 also will remain available at all our health facilities throughout the Christmas and New Year period as normal,’’ she said. To date in Cape York, 82 per cent of the estimated eligible population over 12 years has received their first dose of vaccine and 72 per cent are fully vaccinated.

Our travelling COVID-19 vaccination teams will take a break over Christmas and return from 10 January COVID-19 vaccination is available locally during this time at our health facilities in: • Aurukun • Badu Island • Bamaga • Poruma/Coconut Island • Coen • Cooktown • Erub/Darnley Island • Hope Vale • Horn Island • Kowanyama • Kubin • Laura • Mer/Murray • Napranum • Stephen Island • Thursday Island • Weipa • Wujal Wujal • Iama/Yam • Masig/Yorke • Or, please contact your local pharmacy or GP

BEL backs COVID-19 champions

Police Minister Mark Ryan, Member for Cook Cynthia Lui, Pormpuraaw officer in charge, Sergeant Matt Dowling, and Commissioner Katarina Carroll.

Pormpuraaw’s new police station officially opened PORMPURAAW’S new police station was officially opened with a celebration last week. Commissioner Katarina Carroll and Police Minister Mark Ryan flew in to mark the occasion. The state’s newest police station will service the surrounding community. Officers can often be called to jobs more than 100km from Pormpuraaw. The station will service an area from the Coleman River in the south to the Kendall River in the north, bordering with the Gulf of Carpentaria coastline to the east and Coen divisional boundary to the west. Commissioner Carroll said the Pormpuraaw station would extend policing capability in the Cape, with the addition of four sworn officers, a Police Liaison Officer, and two vehicles. “This police station will bring a policing presence to the residents of Pormpuraaw and will provide officers the resources and equip-

ment needed to deliver efficient policing in the area,” she said. “With the appointment of a PLO in this district, we are committed to further building trusted relationships between the community and police.” Mr Ryan said the new station

was conveniently located, supporting good community access for residents to discuss home and personal security and safety as well as broader policing topics. “The Queensland government is supporting the Queensland Police Service with record budget fund-

ing to ensure officers are equipped with the facilities and resources necessary to support communities in every part of our beautiful state,” he said. “Residents of Pormpuraaw can look forward to the support local police will provide.”

THE community-owned Indigenous organisation, Bamaga Enterprises Ltd (BEL), has funded $11,000 towards a local campaign engaging COVID vaccination Community Champions. Hylda Wapau, a team leader from Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service, said the strategy aimed to increase the vaccination uptake of families within the five Northern Peninsula Area communities. “We are utilising local champions to assist our Indigenous COVID-19 vaccination and engagement team,” she said. “Our champions are highly respected community members: Clifford Wasiu, Reginald Williams and Jeffrey Aniba. “With their support, we have had more families engage in and support the COVID vaccination program. “We aim to enable better preventive measures against the severity of COVID-19, and also prepare by having a family plan in place in case we are faced with COVID-19 cases.” In addition to BEL’s support, the vaccination team has also partnered with NPA Regional Council and NPA Family and Community Services. BEL general manager Chris Foord said when TCHHS had initially applied for funding via BEL’s Socio Support Policy, vaccination rates in the NPA were reported at a dire 38 per cent for double doses. “We’re happy that this figure has increased above 50 per cent fully vaccinated, but there is still work to be done,” he said. “Having these community leaders who can speak the KKY language visit unvaccinated households and workplaces has been essential to protect individuals, families and our community as interstate borders open. “These community champions engage in respectful conversations, sharing factual information to enable informed decision making.”

Entsch hopeful of mobile 4G fix MEMBER for Leichhardt Warren Entsch is hopeful that a grant application by Telstra will pave the way for Lockhart River’s telecommunication problems to be fixed. The MP said he had spoken with Telstra’s regional general manager for Queensland, Rachel Cliffe, and had been told that the telco was applying for funding under the federal government’s Regional Connectivity Program. “Telstra have requested specific information about the social and economic benefits from the Lockhart River council,” he said. “The grant funding weighs heavily on the social and economic benefits to the community and it’s important the council supports this application from Telstra. “I’m told that this project is on the shortlist for Telstra on this round of the RCP and previously they have been successful for places like Palm and Mornington Island.” Lockhart River’s telecommunication issues are a result of ageing infrastructure in Cape York. Repeater towers at Batavia and Wattle Hill are in need of upgrades. Lockhart River is the only Cape York community without 4G access. “I’ve got no doubt Telstra will be able to show the need for this upgrade,” Mr Entsch said last week.

Music icon puts Cape in spotlight AUSTRALIAN country music legend Troy Cassar-Daley has showcased Cape York to a national audience after touring the region earlier this year. The NITV documentary, which aired on Saturday night, followed Cassar-Daley’s venture around the Cape. When they met 30 years ago as young musicians on the road, Cassar-Daley and Cape York musician Cliff Harrigan formed an immediate bond. As two intrepid blackfellas, they looked out for each-other, sharing tins of bully beef and got their first tattoos together. It was a connection that remained throughout their lives and careers – Cassar-Daley as a solo artist – and Cliff now at the helm of The Black Image Band, joined by three of his brothers. This year, a promise to hit the road together again culminated in a joint tour of the Harrigans’ homelands in Cape York. “Over the years, when I’d gone up to Weipa, I’d gone to Cooktown, I’d play any shows during my career, I always ran into him and his family,” said Cassar-Daley of the Harrigans. “That bond grew over the years because of the fact that we had that unbreakable friendship from the get go. “We always made this promise to try and get back up and do a show with the brothers ... so it was

Troy Cassar-Daley and The Black Image Band perform at Cooktown as part of this year’s Cape York tour. Their adventures were made into a documentary.

a bit of a plan that was hatched like 10 years ago, but it finally came into fruition this year.” Beating weather and COVID restrictions, the tour eventuated in July. It was captured by a film crew, the result being Sing About This Country, a feature documentary premiering on NITV, which captured the landscape, the communities, the music, but mostly brotherhood and family connection. Not only a chance to take their music to remote communities and experience the land and culture, the trip ended up being one that was life changing for the ARIAaward winning artist.

“We spent some time on Normanby Station, a cattle station which the Harrigan boys actually manage, but it’s also got cave paintings,” Cassar-Daley said. “Their grandfather was born there. And the stories that we got told around the fire and the traditional welcomes they gave were something to behold. “I still get goosebumps thinking about when they put those wet leaves on that fire and they start singing out of the old people ... it just felt spine tingling to be on their Country and to see the love and respect they have for it.” With many memorable moments and laughs shared along the

way, there was one moment, at a secret, sacred place on Country, that stayed with him. “I walked up just on the river, the boundaries of their Country (and) they were coming into their home territory right across this river,” he recalled. “Pando, one of the brothers, pulled me aside and wet my face and gave me a traditional welcome at the edge of the river before we went onto their Country. “And it just blew my mind. Things just went on inside me – I don’t feel like that unless I’m back on my own Country – that’s how special it felt.” Taking their music to remote

communities, and ending with a finale concert in Cooktown for family and friends, they hope to do it all again and even get to play some new music, inspired by this tour. “Every now and then you get to do something that fills your heart and soul to the brim, rekindling old friendships and reminiscing about the past on a very sacred part of our country,” said Cassar-Daley. “We got to feel the old people’s spirits around us as we travelled, heal together, play music together and sing about this amazing country of ours.” Sing About This Country can be watched online at SBS On Demand.

CommunityCONNECT COOK SHIRE COUNCIL

MESSAGE from the MAYOR Council’s annual Sunset with Santa event held on Saturday 4 December was a fantastic opportunity for all to celebrate the beauty and safety of our wonderful town and Shire. I was recently invited to attend the presentation evenings of some of the schools in Cooktown. The incredibly high level of academic, athletic and artistic acumen, combined with community-centred passion and dedication demonstrated by the students assures me that our young generation are more than capable of leading us into the new era. As we look towards 2022, there are some developments taking shape that will improve our economy, drive business and provide employment opportunities. As more people seek to combine quality of life with their work, the future for our town and the Shire is sound. The present COVID challenge will be met by us continuing to work together with care, collaboration and common sense and I thank all of you for your efforts and support throughout 2021. Very best wishes from all at Cook Shire Council. We hope you have a happy Christmas and safe and prosperous New Year. CR PETER SCOTT Mayor, Cook Shire Council

Around 100 people gathered for the opening of the Mapoon Memorial Church, which included traditional dancing.

Three generations danced together to mark the momentous occasion.

We finally did it: Mapoon has its By MATT NICHOLLS

THE spirit of Mapoon’s old people could be felt as the community opened its long-awaited church last Thursday. In an emotional ceremony, community leaders spoke of the long battle to have a church built in Mapoon after the state government ripped down the last one in 1963 when it forced all residents to leave the Mission. “There are many Elders who have left us that fought for many years to make this happen,” said

the esteemed Edna Mark, who cut the ribbon to open the building on behalf of the Western Cape Communities Trust, which funded the Mapoon Memorial Church. “The church is just a building but what happens inside is the most important thing. “It’s about bringing families together.” Ms Mark, a Traditional Owner of the Warranggu clan group from the Skardon River area, was removed from Cape York as a child. “I grew up in Stanthorpe ... I was taken from my family, my

mother and father, when I was four years old,” she said. But when she returned to the Cape, Ms Mark said she had an immediate connection to her Country. “You just knew it was home.” As the chair of the WCCCA’s northern sub-regional trust, Ms Mark said there was a lot of support from Traditional Owners across the Western Cape to fund the Mapoon church. “This is something that everyone wanted because they knew the history,” she said. “I remember before the WC-

CCA (was formed) we went to the government to ask them if they would build a church at Mapoon and they said no. “It was one of the reasons the WCCCA was established as a charity, so that we could fund projects like this.” Mapoon mayor Aileen Addo said the opening of the church would allow the community to finish its healing process. She moved to Mapoon in 2004 and said building a church was the number one priority of the Elders. “It is a shame it has taken this

long but we got there in the end and it is a really positive thing for Mapoon,” Cr Addo said. At the same time the church was being opened, many members of the Cape York community were mourning the death of a Mapoon Elder, Aunty Olive Mooka (nee Woodley), who was farewelled with a funeral in Innisfail. “Our old people, even though they are gone, are with us today,” Cr Addo said at the opening. “I stand here and I can feel their presence. This church was built in their memory.”

December 2021 Community Update Message from the Chair: “With all the uncertainty and confusion that has come with the expected opening of the State boarders and now the Omicron variant that has been added to the mix, it is nice to know that some things have not changed. The joy that Christmas brings to so many has not been diminished by the past years struggle. The craziness of shopping for presents, putting up the decorations and making plans for catching up with loved ones, is still very much a part of our Christmas experience. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am a Christmas tragic, I love everything about Christmas season, and not just the part that is driven by commercialism, for me it is that for a brief period of the year people take more time to think of others. Families reunite around the Christmas dinner table, the message of Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All Men has some meaning at this time of year. We all know that the new year will have its own set of challenges, but for now let's embrace all that the Christmas message brings and spend some quality time with those you love and those who love you. On behalf of all the members and staff of the Weipa Town Authority, I want to wish you all a joyful and blessed Christmas”. - Michael Rowland

church after decades of pushing The church was given an opening blessing by Reverend Craig Mischewski and Pastor Semi Ratucoka, who will bring regular services to Mapoon. The first Christmas Day service at the church will be held this Saturday by Pastor Semi at 10am. The state government was represented at the opening by Mapoon Ministerial Champion Mark Furner, who said he felt privileged to be part of the historic moment. In 2001, then Premier Peter Beattie offered a formal apology to the people of Mapoon for both re-

moving them from the community and burning down their homes. The late Aunty Jean Jimmy said: “It was real cruelty, burning down our houses, it was a very beautiful place, I could say. “They didn’t give us any reason why they burnt down our homes (but) anyone could think that they burnt down our homes so that nobody would ever return.” Former Mapoon mayor Peter Guivarra recalled: “A lot of those houses were private houses, built by the people themselves. “A lot of the men were ring-

ers, crocodile shooters and they processed the skins and, from that money, they bought the materials and built their own houses.” Visitors to the church will not be able to ignore the history of Mapoon, with pictures hanging on the walls, reminding those of the community’s storied past. Out front, a bell hangs high. Symbolically, one side of the bell is polished, while the other remains scarred from fire. The bell is believed to have been salved from the former Mapoon church.

Opening of Mapoon church adds Mapoon has a complicated history and the roles of various churches in the community sit side-by-side with the Cape York community’s story. Historian GEOFF WHARTON kindly put together this piece to remind us why the opening of the Mapoon Memorial Church was a special occasion for the community.

HE opening of the church at Mapoon last Thursday is an event which links today’s Christian movement in the community with the earliest days of Mapoon Presbyterian Mission and the Moravian Church missionaries who came to evangelise among the Tjungundji People in 1891. Moravians were Protestants whose Church had been formed in Saxony, Germany during the 18th century by persecuted escapees from the region of Moravia, which is within the modern country of the Czech Republic in central Europe. Moravians became involved in missionary activity in remote regions across the world. When the Presbyterian Church in Australia decided to establish a mission at the Batavia River (renamed Wenlock River about 1940) in the early 1890s, they turned to Moravian evangelists to provide the people to work with Aboriginal people of the region. Placed under contract to the Presbyterian Church, Moravians were to serve in the foundation and early years of Mapoon, Weipa and Aurukun. Originally named Batavia River Mission, but known by its language name Mapoon from October 1892, the small community was established on the western shores of Port Musgrave by English Moravian, Reverend James Gibson Ward and German Moravian, Reverend John Nicholas Hey (pronounced Hi), in November 1891. Ward and Hey married two Irish Moravian sisters, Matilda and Mary Anne (Minnie) Barnes. By November 1892, Hey had constructed a basic church building to encourage the Tjungundji People to worship. Although 19th century missionaries often ignored or repudiated the spiritual beliefs of Aboriginal

people, there is evidence that Ward and Hey endeavoured to learn the Tjungundji and Yupungayth languages and thus better understand the traditional customs. Following Ward’s death from fever in January 1895, Matilda Ward continued to serve as the mission teacher until 1917, while the Heys remained in charge of Mapoon until October 1919. As the mission population grew, Hey oversaw the construction of another church building in 1896 and this had the dual purpose of a school. Mapoon’s population expanded during the early 1900s with the arrival of children of mixed-descent from the Gulf region as a result of Mapoon being declared a reformatory dormitory. These children had been forcibly removed by police from their families under Queensland government policies of the time. Children affected by these policies were early members of the stolen generations. By 1905, Hey considered that a much larger church was required. Mapoon men travelled up the Batavia River to harvest timber which was then cut to shape and size with pit saws back at the mission. A Yupungathi man, Barkley, was a skilled carpenter who crafted much of the internal timber fittings of the church. An article published in the Presbyterian Women’s Missionary Association journal, Ministering Women, described the new church construction which was led by the South Sea Islander, Peter Bee, as foreman:

“The three tie beams in the Church are heavy hardwood pieces 35 feet long. The walls, roof, and ceiling are of galvanised iron. The Church is over 30 feet wide by over 50 feet long, having a small verandah on either side formed by the eaves being carried on several feet beyond the wall plates. This provides shade on the walls, and has permitted of about two feet of the upper part of each side wall being made of bannister rods only, giving infinitely better ventilation than any public building Thursday Island possesses ... This form of roof structure required solid work; and it is all there, the tie beams being bound to the walls by massive naturalcrook knees bolted into the top

plates. The porch, windows, and doors are ornamented with frieze work all cut out by the blacks. The northern end has three skillion rooms, the centre of which might be described as a vestry, with a dressing-room on either side – one for the girls and one for the boys wherein they change their working apparel for their ‘best’ clothing.” It was usual practice in Moravian churches for men and boys to sit on one side of the church during services and women and girls on the other side and this was practised at Mapoon. Elders who grew up during the dormitory time before the 1940s recalled how they were required to polish a brass plaque memorial to founding missionary Reverend

James Gibson Ward, which was displayed in the church named in his honour. On Saturday, June 9, 1906, missionaries from Aurukun, Weipa and Mapoon assembled for the official opening of the J.G. Ward Memorial Church. The Weipa missionaries, Edwin and Thekla Brown, with teacher Laura Schick and dormitory children, had made a remarkable nineday journey overland guided by 20 Weipa Aboriginal men. Ministering Women described how the Browns travelled with horse drawn vehicles and constructed a track for wheeled vehicles between the two missions. Describing the church opening service, Mr Hodel from Thursday Island wrote: “The congregation must have numbered quite 300 souls, nearly all of whom found seating accommodation. Short addresses were given by Revs. Brown and Richter, which were listened to most attentively. The singing was very good indeed by both the Mapoon and Weipa contingents, who sang separate anthems as well as unitedly.” In 1907, the Musgrave outstation (the name being derived from Port Musgrave) was established about 6km south of the mission where young families created small farming areas. A church constructed from local timber and with thatched grass walls and palm leaf roof was built there by Mapoon men, led by New Hebridean (now Vanuatu) Dick Kemp and opened in October 1910.

final chapter to a storied history Just six years later, Hey asked another South Sea Islander, Lui Samoa, to commence an outstation about 24 kilometres up the Batavia River. This place, now known as Batavia Landing on the Wenlock River, was designed to be a training farm for young men when they left school. Writing in 1923, Nicholas Hey noted that the outstation church “sat on the brow of the hill overlooking the winding river”. No photograph of that church has been located to date. Eventually, the Batavia outstation closed during the 1930s, but even today there is evidence of this village with old mango trees growing near the landing site. The first church at the Musgrave outstation was superseded in 1919, when it was reported that a new church “measuring 26 ft. x 33 ft. (8 x 10 metres), capable of accommodating 100 people, and built entirely by Mapoon carpenters from locally grown and locally prepared timber, was dedicated and opened for worship by Mr Hey at the Musgrave Settlement”. The Heys left Mapoon soon afterwards and were succeeded by Reverend J.R.B. (Bob) Love MC, DCM, a decorated veteran of the Australian Light Horse. By 1934, the Musgrave church required replacement, so a new building was constructed, complete with a tall sheet-iron steeple, situated near the northern side of the current cemetery at Mapoon. This was during the time when William Miller was acting superintendent. Towards the end of the Second World War, missionary Frank Cane decided to dismantle the Musgrave outstation church and some of the building materials were used to construct a new school at the mission. Other materials from the church were loaded on the Presbyterian sailing vessel Morning Star to be transported to Aurukun Mission. Unfortunately, the vessel was grounded on a reef, south of Mapoon and broke up from wave action. During the 1950s and early 1960s, few funds were made avail-

able by the church and government for new buildings or repairs at Mapoon, so the J.G. Ward Memorial Church gradually fell into disrepair. However, it was still used for services, even after the Presbyterian missionaries departed in 1963. There followed a terrible time for Mapoon people, when the Queensland Director of Native Affairs, Patrick Killoran, pressured them to leave their beloved homeland. In November 1963, police were sent down from Thursday Island to forcibly remove 24 people to the Northern Peninsula Area under orders from Killoran with the full knowledge and approval of the Presbyterian Board of Missions and the Queensland Minister for Education, Jack Pizzey. By May 1964, all of the Mapoon people had moved away, either to Weipa Mission, to New Mapoon and other Queensland localities. Killoran sent a team of Torres Strait Islander carpenters to dismantle all remaining buildings including the J.G. Ward Memorial Church. Despite the physical destruction of their community at the hands of the Queensland government, the spiritual connection to their homeland remained strong in the hearts of the Mapoon people. A long campaign of public

awareness for land rights by people such as Jean Jimmy, Hazel Miller, Rachel and Simon Peter, Jerry and Ina Hudson and others led to the re-establishment of Mapoon community, commencing with cottages made from bush materials in the mid-1970s. Real progress towards a renewed community commenced with the establishment of the Marpuna Community Aboriginal Corporation by Silva Blanco and others in 1984. Until local government status was achieved, the Marpuna Corporation was the administrative body working with governments to create new community facilities. A remarkable community planning process conducted by Mapoon health workers Mervyn Wales, Linda McLachlan and Robert Cockatoo with the Centre for Appropriate Technology in 1994-1995, gave full voice to the Mapoon people. Their input led to the wellspaced attractive community that exists today. Finally in the year 2000, the Mapoon Aboriginal Council was formed to provide full local government status to the community.  Author Geoff Wharton OAM thanks Florence Charger and other Mapoon Elders in past years for their generous sharing of memories of Mapoon history.

NEWS IN BRIEF Fuel suppliers stay on MARANO Enterprises will remain as Cook Shire’s petrol and diesel supplier for the next three years after the council passed a motion to award the Far North company a new contract. The fuel supplier contracts were put out to tender and Marano was adjudicated the best under the council’s criteria. Cook Shire is estimated to spend around $64,000 on the fuel in this contract. For aviation fuel, the council voted to show loyalty to Ior Aviation despite some “administration challenges”. Cook Shire will spend around $440,000 on aviation fuel, servicing both the Coen and Cooktown airports according to the council report.

Teen girls develop skills on remote cattle station THE Swift Teens program not only worked on interpersonal development – the girls were put through their paces to learn new skills with livestock. Challenges included horse riding, horse grooming and wisdom, cattle welfare and safety, feeding horses, cattle, pigs and chickens, and general cattle management, including mustering, branding, dehorning and vaccinating. “All of the girls who came to the property showed that they have a bright future and will all have employment prospects,” Wolverton Station’s Emma Jackson said. She thanked Western Cape College, Rio Tinto and the Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council for their support of the program. “The council in particular were supportive from day one and in April this year we took 11 girls out as a test run and the mayor (Janita Motton) came out as well,” Ms Jackson said. “We noticed such a big change from the girls’ first trip to their second – their confidence just grew.”

MORE than half of people who do not read local newspapers believe they are essential to their communities, a national survey has found. Findings from the survey show that 64.5% of respondents consider a printed copy of a local newspaper an essential service to their communities. A further 48% state that if they ever did read a local newspaper, they prefer to do so in print, compared with online (33%) or via social media (13%). The survey, conducted in July and August this year, sought the views of 400 Facebook users, who do not read a local newspaper, about the role of local news within their communities. The research targeted participants in areas that were being served by independent local newspapers within the Country Press Australia (CPA) network.

The parcel of land, located on the corner of Charles and Digger Streets in Cairns North, is the first step toward the delivery of the Cairns Health Innovation Centre as part of the University Hospital. Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Yvette D’Ath said that this was an important milestone to bring Cairns University Hospital one step closer to completion.

Major milestone for CEQ trainees INDIGENOUS trainees at remote store operator Community Enterprise Queensland are celebrating after completing training this year towards their qualifications in retail. Seven of the trainees, who work at CEQ stores across Cape York and the Torres Strait, have completed their Certificate III in Retail Operations. Another seven trainees have completed their Certificate I in Retail, while a further 10 staff are undertaking their Certificate III in Retail, with plans to have these completed within the next 12 months. The nationally-recognised qualifications provide a pathway to work in a diverse range of retail settings including supermarkets, specialty retailers, department stores, and quick service restaurants. Two Indigenous cadets are also achieving their goals, with Kitty Lewis successfully completing her Certificate III in Business Administration, while warehouse cadet Jeremy Byquar is currently underway with a Certificate III in Warehousing Operations. Kitty completed her cadetship in just 12 months through an online mode of delivery, which meant she was juggling full-time work with study. Chief executive Ian Copeland said CEQ was passionate about providing training opportunities for its employees. “We have a real desire to establish local people in local jobs, and we can help achieve this by investing in the future, as shown throughout all our stores,” he said. “All the trainees are an absolute credit to CEQ, themselves, their families, and their

communities in general. To undergo their traineeships, they’ve had to show outstanding dedication and expertise in their work. “We’re all thrilled at their achievements and are proud to call them CEQ employees.” The newly-qualified CEQ employees who completed their Certificate III were employed at Col Jones and Mitre 10. They are: • Dalton Cowley (Mer) • Gem Gigiba (Saibai) • Irene Bani (Mabuiag) • Karina Rawson (St Pauls) • Lloyd Gimini (Saibai) • Michael Brook (Bamaga) • Tina Asela (Dauan). “These newly-qualified staff are just another example of the opportunities CEQ creates in building capabilities and skill-sets in communities for Indigenous people across Far North Queensland,” Mr Copeland said.
