COMPANY EYES MAJOR OFFSHORE DEPOSIT

Gas drilling in Gulf? By MATT NICHOLLS

A PATCH of underwater land in the Gulf of Carpentaria could hold several trillion cubic feet of natural gas or hundreds of millions of bar-

rels of oil – at least that’s what a company with the rights to drill it for exploration is saying. Gulf Energy believes a parcel of sea, labelled the Bamaga Basin and listed as Q/23P on maps, could

NRL & AFL

provide a major windfall and employment opportunities. However, the New South Wales-based company did not return phone calls or emails when contacted by Cape York Weekly.

On its website, Gulf Energy says the basin’s advantages are its water depth (60m) and proximity to shore (150km), which “make it operationally and commercially attractive”.

“Gulf Energy plans to drill the first exploration well, a huge fourway dip closure covering 200 square kilometres in area,” the company’s website states. Continued – Page 5

Welsh said his experiences with Cape York’s Traditional Owners shaped his leadership.

Former Weipa boss takes the reins of ASX company By MATT NICHOLLS

HISTORY was made last week when Brad Welsh was named as the first Indigenous Australian to lead an ASX-listed minerals company. Welsh was named as the CEO and managing director of Energy Resources Australia in the Northern Territory. The former acting general manager of Weipa’s operations called Cape York home for seven years before being appointed as Rio Tinto’s chief adviser to the CEO on Indigenous Affairs. Welsh said his time in Cape York had been critical to his development as a leader and was proud to have made history as an Indigenous chief executive. Before joining Rio Tinto in 2011 he had been working in politics before pivoting to the private sector. “I have spent my life and career trying to ensure Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people take our rightful place in the economic and social fabric of the nation,” he said.

“I noticed that not many Indigenous leaders were taking roles and opportunities in the corporate sector so decided to pursue work and leadership there. When we think about the broader Australian community the vast majority of wealth and economic participation comes from the corporate sector. “In my experience in Aboriginal communities, the majority of economic participation comes from the government sector. “I wanted to be a senior leader who is Indigenous not a senior Indigenous leader – this means bringing Indigenous thought to the centre of a business and showing that there can be enormous value in thinking differently. “I am really excited about this appointment and I hope that it can show Indigenous people everywhere that senior leadership of the corporate sector is not just an opportunity for our mob but for the corporate sector to drive real and long-lasting change into our future.” Welsh said he would draw on

the experience of learning from Traditional Owners on Country to lead ERA. “In my career, I have had to change direction several times to take the next level of leadership development,” he said. “In Weipa, I made a pivot from functional leadership (community relations) to operational leadership, which made my leadership fuller and allowed me to grow further into more senior opportunities. “I also learnt an enormous amount sitting on Country with Traditional Owners. I had spent my entire life marching for land rights and having the chance to work with Traditional Owners in Cape York to implement those rights in a real way is something I will never forget. “Cape York also made me realise that we have shared interests, we all want mining operations to be safe and sustainable, we all want the owners of the land to receive fair compensation and economic opportunities and we all want to invest in a shared future.”

. . . s t n e m h c a t t a k t Thin f i l r o N k thin

With a three-year contract to lead ERA, Welsh hopes he can strengthen ties with Traditional Owners in the Kakadu region. “ERA is a great business with a chequered history of engagement with Traditional Owners,” he said. “While the business has been on a genuine journey of working with Traditional Owners, I really want to enhance that through my leadership of the business. “ERA is undertaking one of the world’s most complex rehabilitation projects – we are remediating an old uranium mine site to a standard that can be incorporated into the Kakadu National Park. “While this can be daunting and is very complex, it is also exciting to get the opportunity to heal the land in a way that builds and supports the rich Indigenous cultural landscape of the area. “We are working with various owners and stakeholders to decide on appropriate criteria but also deliver in partnership world-class rehabilitation which we can all be proud of.”

Bramwell to remain open for tourists despite sale

What’s on at...

By MARK KNOWLES

THE future of Bramwell Station’s famous tourist park and roadhouse is up in the air after the state government purchased the property last week. The two Cape York hot spots will remain open this year but their longer-term future could be on shaky ground. Ken Godfrey had leased the businesses from Wendy Kozicka and Vince Bowyer and will continue to run his station talks, live entertainment and famous feasts at the tourist park this year, but may not return in 2023. Cape York Weekly broke the news about the state government’s deal to buy Bramwell in September last year. However, despite both parties agreeing to the sale price, the deal fell over when it came to putting pen to paper. That changed when the state agreed to pay Wendy and Vince $11.5 million for the Bramwell property, as well as the adjoining Richardson Station. The state government, along with senior Cape York leaders, called the transaction as a win for conservation and Indigenous land rights. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the deal would protect more than 131,900 hectares of land for conservation. “Conservation is vital when it comes to tackling climate change and supporting the local tourism industry,” she said. “This is one of the most significant purchases in Queensland history – linking close to one million hectares of protected land in a picturesque part of our state. “Conserving and returning this land to Traditional Owners will create jobs and opportunities for local workers in the future.” Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said the property would return to First Nations

my and the tourism industry and we will ensure provisions are made to allow these facilities to continue operating,” she said. Gerhardt Pearson, the executive director of Balkanu Cape York Development Corporation, said he was delighted that the Traditional Owners of these properties would now be able to enjoy the cultural and economic benefits of their ancestral lands. “I congratulate the state for successfully concluding this complex and long-running matter,” Mr Pearson said. “Balkanu Cape York Development Corporation was pleased to help the state broker the outcome after many years of negotiation and planning. “Traditional Owners of these strategic lands – gateway to northern Cape York, including the start of the Telegraph Track – can now work with the Traditional Owners of surrounding lands to better manage country and protected areas.” Ms Scanlon said the purchase was highly strategic and represents a major win for the environment, Traditional Owners and the local economy. “The Bramwell and Richardson properties connect with

other protected areas, including Batavia National Park (Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land); Bromley (Ampulin) National Park; Michingun Nature Refuge; Heathlands Reserve and Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve Nature Refuge,” she said. “The lands also provide further opportunity to protect the Great Barrier Reef by stabilising two catchment areas that flow into the Great Barrier Reef.” Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch congratulated Wendy and Vince for “making a buck” from the deal. “I don’t have an issue with the sale although I am concerned that the state is trying to get rid of cattle grazing from Cape York,” he said. “I didn’t agree with the sale of Springvale Station, which was very good grazing land. “It’s good that Wendy and Vince made a buck from this deal after putting in the hard yards.” Remarkably the state government could have saved taxpayers almost $10 million if they had not been the underbidders when the property sold in 2002. Bramwell sold to Wendy and Vince for less than $1 million.

Huge gas deposit could be in Gulf From – Page 1 Gulf Energy managing director Wolfgang Fischer could not be contacted for comment about the company’s plans for 2022. On its website, Gulf Energy says it has until August 17, 2022 to drill the first exploration well in the Bamaga Basin (Q/23P). “It also means the end of the current, second permit term for Q/23P has been moved by two years to August 17, 2024,” a statement on the company’s website says. “In February last year, the National Offshore Petroleum Titles Administrator advised Gulf Energy that it had been granted a twoyear suspension and extension to its offshore petroleum exploration permit. “The opportunity to apply for a suspension and extension to drill the first well was the result of the meeting of federal and state Resources Ministers in April 2020, at which the offshore petroleum joint authorities recognised that the COVID-19 pandemic was having a significant negative impact on the petroleum sector and additional flexibility would be required to assist titleholders to manage and plan their way through the crisis. “By offering flexibility in meeting permit work obligations the joint authority sought to ensure continuity of exploration effort rather than a reduction. “A gas discovery and resultant production from Q/23P would:

Gulf Energy believes a huge depsoit of gas – and possibly oil – could be drilled from the Bamaga Basin, circled in yellow.

 Create a new “energy hub” in northern Australia producing natural gas and, if it is commercially feasible, possibly also blue hydrogen combined with carbon capture and storage.  Be the catalyst for development around the Gulf of Carpentaria.

 Add billions of dollars of increased economic activity to Australia’s economy.  Contribute to achieving the objectives of the Commonwealth government’s Gas-Fired Recovery initiative and its White Paper on developing northern Australia entitled Our North, Our Future.

The prospect of off-shore gas drilling is sure to be a contentious issue and federal Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch said he had doubts it would ever happen in the Gulf of Carpentaria. “I would be very concerned if it did,” he said. “The impact it would have

would be quite significant. We have enough environmental challenges in the Gulf without creating another one. “The question I would ask is will it be beneficial in the long run? I believe we are moving away from that kind of energy.” Weipa Town Authority chair Michael Rowland said the prospect of another major employer in the Weipa region, albeit off-shore was at least worth discussing. “There has been talk for years about putting a gas pipeline through the Cape,” he said. “If it were to happen I’d be interested to see if there would be any benefits to Weipa. “Our harbour is about to be freed up with mining heading south of Weipa so it could be a good place for exporting gas.” Gulf Energy believes it can clear any red tape due to the location of the gas deposit. “Q/23P is offshore, under Commonwealth jurisdiction. No state ‘holdups’,” the website said. “Because Gulf Energy holds all of the Bamaga Basin it can execute a comprehensive, coordinated approach to exploration and development. “The Bamaga Basin has the potential to be a key gas supplier to eastern Australia. “Large, drillable targets could help meet impending east coast Australia gas shortfalls.” Watch this space.

New CEO brings local knowledge AURUKUN mayor Keri Tamwoy has welcomed Ilario Sabatino to the role of chief executive officer at Aurukun Shire Council. Originally from the Torres Strait and with Aboriginal heritage, Mr Sabatino is the council’s first Indigenous CEO. He was previously the chief operating officer at Torres Strait Island Regional Council and the CEO at Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council and Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council. Mr Sabatino’s career has included administrative roles with all three tiers of government, and he has been affiliated with Aurukun Shire Council through his local government networks. Mr Sabatino has also been involved with supporting philanthropic organisations. “I have a keen interest in ad-

vancing First Nations’ community development and working with the mayor, councillors and administration team to deliver on council’s business objectives that are congruent with community expectations,” Mr Sabatino said. “I am fortunate that council has given me the opportunity to come to Aurukun in this leadership capacity and I am keen on progressing and supporting the council by value-adding both strategically and operationally to what has already been achieved and leading with our team the implementation on the direction set by council in moving forward. “There are multiple issues and challenges including better coordination of government services coming into the community and purpose-led investments which require a sense of increased account-

ability and responsibility that not only focuses on financial return on investment but also return on the service recipient’s expectations. “I understand the enduring social and economic challenges for First Nations communities that have major effects on the provision, the appropriateness and accessibility to quality infrastructure and services and I am under no illusion that will change overnight because a lot of issues are complex and intergenerational that will require all parties’ involvement.” Mr Sabatino was appointed after the sudden resignation of CEO John Thomas, who lasted just one month in the role before resigning due to personal reasons. Before that, Bernie McCarthy had been the chief executive officer of Aurukun Shire Council for more than nine years.

Ilario Sabatino has been named as the new CEO of Aurukun Shire Council.

NEWS IN BRIEF Aged care feedback THREE southern Cape York councils are seeking feedback from their communities about the current and future provisions of aged care services. Cook Shire, Hope Vale and Wujal Wujal are working with state government departments to develop a regional aged care services proposal, covering a broad spectrum of needs and types of care required for seniors, based on feedback from health and care providers. A key step is to find out from senior residents, their family members and carers, as well as the general public, what they think of the services currently available, what improvements are needed, and whether the idea of a regional model would be supported. The Regional Aged Care Service Project survey is anonymous, accessible online and will only take a few minutes to complete. Take the online survey now at https:// www.surveymonkey.com/r/R3XW993 The survey will close on March 11. If you have any questions about the survey, contact Kerry-Lee Bird on 4082 2002.

Lakeland SES callout THE Lakeland SES/Ambulance First Responders branch is down to two active members in Lakeland and two at Maitland Downs station, which is 50km away. There is a realistic chance the group could be folded due to a lack of members. The unit’s main activities are Road Crash Rescue and responding when the ambulance in Cooktown is called. QAS volunteer first responders are the initial point of call and they are first on scene after a 000 call, reducing the time patients wait for the ambulance to respond. The Lakeland SES/First Responders have been building up resources since its inception and have good capabilities to respond and help when called. Joining the group involves some initial training but all the gear and training is supplied for free. After that, the group trains once every two weeks on a Thursday night for a couple of hours. The branch will hold an information night on the Thursday, March 3 at 6pm at the Lakeland SES shed.

Cases start to drop off across Cape By MATT NICHOLLS

HAVE we seen the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak in the Cape and Torres Strait? It might be too early to say, but case numbers are looking positive. On Monday of last week, there were 604 active cases in the Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service. Yesterday morning, there were 488 active cases in the region. Weipa has the most active cases with 146 people currently positive for the virus, followed by Thursday Island, which had 115 cases. Napranum was next with 46, followed by Pormpuraaw (30), Cooktown (23), Saibai Island (16), Hope Vale (16) and Bamaga (14). There is currently one COVIDrelated hospitalisation at Bamaga. “All other active cases within the region are being managed at home or other accommodation arranged in association with local disaster management groups, where home accommodation is unsuitable for isolation,” Torres and Cape HHS chief executive Bev Hamerton said.

“To date, accounting for those who have been discharged from quarantine, the Torres and Cape HHS has recorded 3469 cases of COVID-19. “We are continuing to see widespread transmission of COVID–19 throughout our region, and remind our communities that vaccination remains our best protection against the virus. “While being vaccinated will not prevent you getting COVID-19, vaccination has been proven to reduce the severity of the illness and help keep you out of hospital and, especially, out of intensive care. “We are currently delivering booster vaccination doses across the region, along with vaccinations for children aged 5–11, as well as first and second doses for people who have not yet had them. “Everyone aged 16 years and older is eligible for the booster vaccination if it has been three months or more since the completion of their primary course of vaccine – both doses. “To date, we have delivered 6505 booster vaccinations.”

Carbon foundation makes Top 100 THE Aboriginal Carbon Foundation says that making a Top 100 list of Australia’s Green Power Players exemplifies the organisation’s commitment to Traditional Owners, industry best practice and is a win for regional Australia. AbCF CEO Rowan Foley said: “Making the top 100 is testament to the hard work we have been doing, not only in develop-

ing a first-class Indigenous company, but also our collaborative relationships with like-minded organisations, local people and big business. “Our products and services are actually all about people.” Recognised by the Australian Human Rights Commission as being best practice in the climate change space for their strengthsbased verification approach, the

AbCF made The Australian’s inaugural Top 100 Green Power Players last week, which rated the areas of renewable energy, climate action, net-zero ambition, carbon markets and the broader environment. The list showcased the top 100 innovators, developers, financiers, policymakers and activists who are bringing about positive environmental change.

Drivers licences about to go digital from next year QUEENSLANDERS can expect to go digital with their drivers licence next year, with a contract to deliver the Digital Licence App now signed. The announcement follows a successful trial of the app in the Fraser Coast in 2020. Transport and Main Roads Minister Mark Bailey said Thales would finalise the development and delivery of the app, which would be rolled out across the state next year. “Queensland is modernising it’s approach to licencing, as we progress with the development of a Digital Licence App that will hit Queensland phones next year,” he said. “The Fraser Coast trial was a resounding success, with users reporting a 94 per cent satisfaction rating during the testing. “This gives us confidence that we’re on the right track to ensuring the smooth and successful roll out of the app across the state. “What we’re doing here is creating a

modern, innovative solution that adopts international best-practice solutions and has the privacy of data front of mind.” Mr Bailey said the next stage of the roll out would see the Digital Licence App trialled in the Townsville region later this year. “The app is being upgraded based on feedback from the Fraser Coast pilot, as well as adding new functionality and options to make sure we are meeting the needs of the people who use it,” he said. “It’s exciting for Townsville to be the first major town to trial this new technology, covering a larger area and more diverse population than previous testing.” Mr Bailey said the Digital Licence App would comply with an international standard, which means Queenslanders would be able to use it around Australia and overseas. More information about the trial is available at www.qld.gov.au/digitallicence.

Annastacia Palaszczuk says Cape York residents won’t have to wear masks from 6pm on Friday.

Mask-wearing to slow this Friday QUEENSLAND will this week scrap most indoor mask-wearing rules, including at schools, while the daily COVID press conferences will also cease as the number of cases in the state declines. But the restrictions on unvaccinated patrons entering pubs, cafes and other venues could stay for another month as authorities wait to gauge the impact of lifted restrictions and the international border reopening. From 6pm on Friday, masks will no longer be required in indoor settings except on public transport, in airports, and in facilities such as hospitals, aged care, prisons, and disability care. Some remaining density limits on weddings, funerals and private homes will be dropped, along with capacity limits in food courts, gyms, hairdressers and some other venues. Bans on school excursions, assemblies and campus visits will also be lifted after the return to school two weeks ago did not re-

sult in a major spike in infections. While the daily COVID press conference will cease, details will still be published each day. But from the first week of March, only the chief health officer will appear before the media if required. “The story of this pandemic is not yet over, though we hope a brighter chapter awaits,” Ms Palaszczuk said from Parliament, pointing to the state’s efforts in reaching the 80 per cent vaccination rate before experiencing its first real outbreak. More than 63 per cent of those eligible for a booster shot have received one, while 90.61 per cent have had their second dose. Chief health officer John Gerrard said he expected a “secondary wave” of infections around winter. “How large that will be, we don’t know,” he said. “There is a significant chance we will need to introduce mandatory mask wearing at some point again for a limited period.”

Metallica project boosted Motorists ignored by by state government tick state govt METALLICA Minerals hopes to get a major water allocation for its Cape Flattery silica sand project after it was determined to be a project of regional significance. In its notice to shareholders, Metallica said it was “pleased to announce that the Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water in Queensland has determined that Metallica’s 100 per cent owned Cape Flattery silica sand project is a Project of Regional Significance”. “This means that the project is eligible to apply for, but is not guaranteed, a water entitlement from the 25,000 megalitres of unallocated water held in the strategic reserve for the Water Plan. “To seek access to strategic reserve unallocated water, Metallica’s CFS Project will make a submission demonstrating that the proposed water draw would comply with the outcomes prescribed under the Water Plan. “This compliance is designed to meet the criteria for releasing unallocated water from the Cape York strategic unallocated reserve.” Metallica executive chairman Theo Psaros said: “We welcome DRDMW’s decision as it recognises the contribution our project is planning to make to the Cape

Flattery region. This decision also reflects the Queensland government’s commitment to the development of new-economy minerals such as Metallica’s silica sand project in the Far North. “To achieve this status, the project had to demonstrate the benefits it would bring to the region, particularly in diversifying the regional economy through delivery of employment opportunities. “In addition, the status represents an important milestone as

we near the finalisation of the CFS Project’s pre-feasibility study due for release in March.” Metallica said its team of consultants were progressing well towards the completion of the prefeasibility study, which is designed to demonstrate the economic potential of the Cape Flattery silica sand project. In a scoping study released in November, Metallica estimated the project’s value to be $235 million over a 22-year mine life.

The pre-feasibility study will provide further detail on the mine design as well as infrastructure required for the operation and the size of the workforce. Meetings continue to be held with Traditional Owners. “These meetings involve potential commercial, employment, training and business opportunities that will arise from the CFS Project,” Metallica’s statement said. “Cultural heritage planning is also being discussed.”

CAPE York residents driving on the Mulligan Highway tomorrow should expect lengthy delays, although the state government doesn’t seem concerned enough to give motorists warning. There has been no public notice put out by the Department of Transport and Main Roads for the closure to the McLeod River bridge between Lakeland and Mount Molloy. Cape York drivers heading south to Mareeba or Cairns will be forced to wait for up to an hour while inspections on the bridge are carried out. Cape York Weekly discovered the closures when a reader passed on an email sent out by Cook Shire Council, not TMR. “The inspections will require intermittent full bridge closure on Wednesday, March 2 between 8am and 3.15pm,” the email said.

Diatreme is drilling a number of holes on its lease to examine the quality of dunes in the area.

While the Galalar Silica Project is the priority for Diatreme, it has hopes of expanding its operation.

Diatreme making quick progress DIATREME Resources continues to expand its silica sand resource base, with new exploration drilling under way throughout the company’s northern resource project (NRP) area in Cape York. The drilling is selectively testing extensions to dunes with low impact exploration activities. This includes the involvement of a number of Aboriginal clan groups, assisting in field programs within their respective clan areas. The move follows recent success in discovering a second, highgrade silica sand resource within the northern area of the Cape Bedford tenement area. Diatreme says it is now building an extensive knowledge base on the dune systems located within the NRP area, adding to the estab-

lished silica sand resource at the Galalar Silica Sand Project. “Our immediate priority remains the delivery of the Galalar Silica Project in the southern part of our tenement area, which we are currently advancing through permitting and approvals towards mining,” Diatreme chief executive officer Neil McIntyre said. “However, our late 2021 and early 2022 northern exploration programs have allowed us to advance quickly on resource assessment and project development planning on our northern tenement area, with the potential for multiple mining operations of high purity silica. “Working in partnership with the Traditional Owners, these new discoveries will only further en-

hance the potential of our projects to deliver long-term benefits to all stakeholders, including new jobs and regional investment, while positively contributing to the decarbonisation of the global economy.” Diatreme has commenced assessing infrastructure options, environmental permitting and associated planning towards a development plan for the NRP. Meetings with government and the state-owned port authorities have commenced along with meetings with regional stakeholders to examine and advance areas for mutual co-operation. Further progress towards the lodgement of mining lease applications (MLAs) and associated infrastructure leases is anticipated in the coming months. Advertisement

Diatreme says its minimised footprint mining and processing plant solutions, combined with progressive supported rehabilitation will also be applied in the NRP, aimed at delivering a low impact standalone operation. In the latter half of 2021, Diatreme targeted the extensive dune systems located to the north of the McIvor River and west of Cape Flattery. The exploration area covers in excess of 150km2 and includes several major identified dunes. The NRP dune systems are accessed by established public roads and landholder access tracks. Marine access supporting exploration activities is also possible. Diatreme has established an exploration base at Starke near the

McIvor River to service the exploration. Mr McIntyre said logistical challenges were well managed, and the exploration had continued through the wet season with periodic delays. Diatreme utilises specialised drilling equipment designed to have a low impact and delivers solutions on accessing undulating dune terrains. The equipment facilitates rapid movement between shallow drill holes, optimising field activities with minimised vegetation disturbance. Exploration teams include Indigenous personnel from local clan areas, undergoing training on drilling and exploration, while also completing daily cultural heritage monitoring.

Toots’ legendary MAN truck, which is now in a museum in Winton.

The lady was a truckie Toots Holzheimer: 05-07-1934 to 29-02-1992 Barefoot in the cabin ’cause she lost her shoes in mud When tying on a tow rope and the heavens opened up With the track all wet and slippery as a pork chop in the rain She kicked the motor over, and had another go again. The old truck groaned and tried to move but didn’t have a chance Bogged down to the axles, so Toots got out the axe Chopped down some branches to put underneath the tyres Got to work with spade and hands, ankle deep in mire.

If you take on a man’s job you must work like a man – just do it without whinging and complaining. Toots Holzheimer

I’m telling you it’s true, the truckie was a lady Everybody knew her; from Weipa to the Gulf. From Cairns to Edward River And on all the Cape York stations Toots, the lady truckie, is a legend in the North. The lady was a truckie, and they say she loved the life She helped to make ends meet, for she was mother and a wife Her old flat top would battle on beneath its heavy load Carting forty-fours of fuel on tracks you wouldn’t call a road. ‘Yeah, she’s a bit of a character’ you’d hear the bush folk say She laughed and joked at Weipa as she loaded up one day. Standing by the wheels and yarning, Toots ran out of luck A crane went wild and crushed her, up against her sturdy truck. I’m telling you it’s true, the truckie was a lady Everybody knew her; from Weipa to the Gulf. From Cairns to Edward River And on all the Cape York stations Toots, the lady truckie, is a legend in the North. “The lady is a truckie” written and performed by Slim Dusty

Gone but never forgotten – Toots Thirty years ago the people of Cape York mourned the loss of one of its icons – the legendary truck driver TOOTS HOLZHEIMER. On the anniversary of her tragic death in Weipa, Cape York Weekly editor Matt Nicholls looks back on what made Toots such a beloved figure in the Far North ...

Driving trucks was thirsty work.

RIVING from Mareeba to Weipa in a day? Toots would have hated that. The tougher it was the better it was for Toots, who made a name for herself as the last to deliver freight to the Cape before the wet season and the first truck to get through when the water subsided. When she first started driving to the Peninsula from the base in Cairns, the road from Mareeba was only sealed to Mount Molloy. Getting to Cooktown was a big enough challenge, but driving a semi-trailer to Weipa was bordering on crazy. Southern truck drivers didn’t even make it to Lakeland before giving up. The copious amounts of corrugations and bulldust were just too much. Not for Toots. To get to Mount Carbine, you had to open and close 16 gates. The Mulligan Highway did not exist. If you made it to Lakeland and kept heading north, you faced a rough road to Cooktown. If you look a left turn and headed to Laura and beyond, the road soon evaporated. While Weipa was emerging as a bustling mining town on the west coast of Cape York Peninsula, all employees were flown in and freight came via plane or barge. There was no official road linking Weipa with the south, just a telegraph line in the bush, with enough scrub cleared for maintenance. This was no barrier for Toots and her husband Ron, who made a name for themselves servicing every Cape York community and cattle station in the dry season. They would cut down trees and build their own bridges, they would spend hours shovelling mud to free themselves of a bog – often around the black soil near Piccaninny Plains – and, surprising to most, have a great time doing so. While Ron came from a trucking family and helped Toots get behind the wheel of big rigs, it was his wife who ran the show. She made history as the first Australian woman to clock a million miles in a truck and became a pioneer of females in the transport industry. And she did all of this while raising children, often with them sitting beside her in the cabin, coughing up dust from the Cape York wilderness. THE TRAGEDY TOOTS died at 10.43am on the 29th of February, 1992 doing the job she loved beside the truck she called her ‘Old Girl’. All week Toots and Ron had been carting the pylons that had been removed from the old Weipa wharf and stacked in a number of piles

A lasting reminder of Toots’ legacy.

Toots was a familiar face in all Cape York communities. around Evans Landing. Their trucks were parked parallel to each other. “No one really knows what went wrong that day,” daughter Donna Vawdrey wrote in her book Toots: Woman In A Man’s World. “The crane operator was using a dogman to signal him for the control of the load, as this last pylon was on a slight slope and hidden from his direct view. “As the pylon was being lifted it started to swing. A steel plate, protruding from the side of the pylon, was small enough to fit between the duals where Toots was standing. “It crushed her against the wheel of her semi, inflicting massive chest

Page 14 – Cape York Weekly – Tuesday, March 1, 2022

injuries. Toots clutched her chest gasping, ‘I can’t breathe,’ before losing consciousness.” Emergency services arrived at the scene within a couple of minutes but Toots could not be revived. Two inquests were held with the outcome stating that it was simply a tragic accident. Simultaneous funeral services were held in Weipa and Cairns. There were 200 mourners at the St Luke’s Church in Weipa. The ladies of Napranum sang together in a hymn of tribute to Toots. Following the service in Cairns, a horn-blowing convoy of semi-trailer rigs led the procession to the crema-

torium where they all, simultaneously, blasted their air horns in a final farewell. At the Cairns funeral, Glenda Putt summed up how many folk felt. “That woman was a lady. She had the respect of everyone. She was special. I am so pleased I got to meet her.” Jim Gordon reminisced on the time he and Toots danced together at the Musgrave Centenary celebrations. In his words, ‘She was a good friend with a terrific heart.’ “It was a sad end to a special era in road transport for the Gulf country and the people of the Cape would dearly miss the personal touch that Toots gave to everything she did,” Donna wrote. PERSONAL BATTLES THE story of Toots would be short-changed without explaining the personal challenges she faced outside of the truck cabin. Most know of her as a mother of eight, but Toots faced significant battles as a mum. Along the journey, she lost one child to stillbirth and had another son, Sheldon, who died just three days after he was born. Toots also had to cope with being

separated from half of her children for a large chunk of their formative years. Toots gave birth to “JB” John Joseph Bishop in 1951. She was just 16 years old and, as a result of being underage, had to serve 100 hours of community service. The father was in prison. Her next four children – Kaylene, Cheryl, Donna and Ricky were with first husband Frederick Hipworth, best known as “Dinghy”. When the relationship broke down, Toots turned to her friend Ron Holzheimer for comfort. “Ron packed up Toots and the kids, moved to the Atherton Tableland and pitched a tent beside a creek at Yungaburra,” Donna wrote. “He settled his newly acquired ‘instant’ family and began looking for work.” A burgeoning happy family was then torn apart when Dinghy drove to Redlynch and snatched the three girls outside an ice cream shop. He would later grab JB and Ricky in a similar fashion, leaving Toots and Ron childless. “Toots never gave up trying to get custody of her children,” Donna wrote in her book.

remembered as a Cape York icon “Her fears were realised in 1962 when, to her dismay, Dinghy gained custody of all five children, even his step-son JB. “Toots was denied visitation rights and she did not have the money to fight the court order. “She was deemed an unfit mother as she had no fixed address. “Her stolen children grew up believing they were not wanted or loved.” Toots and Ron would go on to have three children of their own – Sharon, Lynny and Troy. Eventually, each of her other five children would make their way back into Toots’ life. When she died, she had eight kids that all proudly called her mum. THIRTY YEARS ON DAUGHTERS Donna and Cheryl still can’t believe the impact their mother had on so many people and are still told new stories about Toots on a regular basis. “Just this morning I had a man called Wayne Kelly ring me and tell me about the time mum helped him when he was at Palmer River and had run out of fuel and had no food to get by,” Donna said on Sunday. “You hear these stories all of the time about how mum would just help anyone who needed it.” Despite being a woman in a man’s world, Toots was a lady first and foremost. “She didn’t swear in front of us kids and gave us a lashing if we did,” Donna said. “She would say ‘frig’ a lot, but that’s about it. “In the Cape she would look after all the ladies on the stations, often picking up material for them to make dresses or other small items that would make their lives a little bit better. “She was driven to drive trucks but she never became a half-baked man. She was always a woman. “Her compassion, understanding and big heart shone through.” Those thoughts were echoed by Cheryl, who was in Weipa on the day her mother died. “She’s never far from your mind,” Cheryl said. “I’m amazing how many people still remember her. “Even when I still go up to Weipa people say ‘I can’t believe Toots isn’t here anymore’. “She was loved by a lot of people.” Cheryl admitted to feeling some guilt about her mum’s death. She and husband Ray were living in Weipa and in charge of the local depot at Evans Landing. “She always gave me the weekend off when Ray was home,” Cheryl recalled. “I felt guilty for a number of years because I should have been working. Mum was suffering from bad asthma but that was her, she just kept going.” Cheryl said she hoped talks of a movie about Toots would eventuate to fully preserve her memory. “That would be the icing on the cake.” Donna said a production company had been sitting on the movie or

TOOTS How time flies 30 years have come and gone But your legacy still lives on You were the pioneering legend of your time Working in a man’s world of trucks But you still kept your feminine side Sewing and being a mum You loved to party and dance the night away You suffered badly from asthma But you never let it slow you down You will always be in our hearts Your character lives within us, your family Your love lives on forever Always remembered Written by daughter Cheryl on behalf of the family

Never afraid of hard work, Toots would often be seen covered in dirt and grease as she carved out a life as a truck driver in what was a man’s world. TV series idea for a number of years, but it had yet to make any major advances. For now, her book is the only substantial record of Toots’ life, although there are a number of tributes dotted around the state that honour her legacy. TRIBUTES FLOW MEMBER for Leichhardt Warren Entsch says he didn’t know Toots all that well, but he had no hesitation in pushing for the bridge at Kennedy Creek to be named in her honour. “We knew each other but we didn’t have much to do with one another,” the MP said. “Probably the most graphic image I have of Toots is her bogged to the axle and she’s covered in mud with a floral sundress on. She’s there

beavering away to get herself out of trouble. When I pulled up and offered to help she very pleasantly told me to piss off. “There weren’t too many people in the Cape that didn’t know her.” Mr Entsch said when he became the federal member there was an opportunity to name the bridge over the Kennedy Creek as they sealed the road from Lakeland to Laura. “I contacted the family to ask if they had any objections to applying for the bridge to be named in her honour and I was up there with the family when it was unveiled. “It was a wonderful legacy for Toots.” Retired Cape York police officer Tony Tallen was based at Edward River (now Pormpuraaw) for a stint and remembered Toots fondly.

“She was as tough as nails,” he said from his Tasmanian home. “I remember her lifting these 44 gallon drums that very few blokes could manage on their own. “Toots would never let you do anything for her; she took her job very seriously.” The quietly-spoken truckie went from being a popular figure in the Gulf and Cape to a famous female icon in Australia after TV program The Australians dedicated an episode in her honour. Journalist and producer Peter Luck described Toots as a ‘mother earth’ figure with big biceps, big breasts, short wavy black hair, brown leathery skin and a dry, slightly gruff, raspy voice. Legendary country music singer Slim Dusty further immortalised

Toots when he released The Truckie is a Lady (lyrics on Page 13) on his award-winning album Making a Mile, which picked up a Golden Guitar in 1998. There’s a street named after Toots in Evans Landing and you’ll still find the memorial at the Archer River Roadhouse (more on Page 16). One of the most popular lasting tributes to Toots is her legendary MAN truck, which was restored and sent to the National Road Transport Hall of Fame in Alice Springs, before it was moved to the Diamantina Heritage Truck and Machinery Museum in Winton. “We just felt like the truck should be in Queensland, because she was from here,” Donna said. There are a number of other small tributes to Toots around the state and in the Cape. Toots: Woman In A Man’s World has sold more than 13,000 copies to date. “When I did the first print run I only ordered 2000 copies and they sold in three weeks,” Donna said. “I then rushed another order of 2000 and they sold within three months.” The book launch was a little bit less successful, she said with a smile. “We had to do the launch without the book because it hadn’t arrived. It was a book-less book launch. “But we went ahead because we had invited Warren Entsch and other dignitaries. “It ended up being all right because we took orders on the day.” You can still purchase the book and those interested in Toots’ story or an important chapter in Cape York history should get themselves a copy.

Archer River Roadhouse a lasting reminder of truckie’s generosity By MATT NICHOLLS

WHEN Toots Holzheimer first started trekking up the Cape, it would take two days to get from Coen to Weipa. There was nothing in between except the odd cattle station and a whole heap of scrub. It was a hard slog just to get to the Archer River, let alone cross it, so the freight stop at Bill Jackson’s Wolverton Station became a favourite for Toots. She knew all four of the Jackson clan – Kevin, Neville, Tricia and Sherrill – but was especially fond of the latter and youngest. In the early days at Wolverton, there was no electricity and definitely no refrigeration. Sherrill went to boarding school and ended up back home with her partner John to work the station. But it was hard work making a living from cattle in the late 70s and early 80s so they wound up in Weipa working for Comalco. “They worked for the mining company for five years before heading back to the station to discuss plans to build a roadhouse,” Toots’ daughter Donna Vawdrey wrote in her book. “Sherrill’s dream was to offer a place of respite for tourists and truckies travelling the Peninsula Developmental Road. “Forming a partnership with her sister Tricia and husband James, John and Sherrill began realising their dream as the plans for the Archer River Roadhouse were drawn. “Realising that the cattle industry was not capable of supporting both families, Bill gave 1000 acres in the centre of Wolverton to his daughters to build the roadhouse.

If the Archer River was too high to cross, important freight, such as beer, would be carted across by boat and picked up on the other side to be taken to Weipa. “The roadhouse would be a place where people could relax and enjoy a meal, share a yarn over a pint or two, or stay overnight and unwind, breathing in the peace and tranquillity of the outback. “Sherrill and Tricia were eager to start but had difficulty securing finance. Financial institutions were reluctant to invest in a venture in ‘the middle of nowhere’. “Despite no money, no phones and John working in Weipa, Sherrill and Tricia were determined to make it work. “Using all their monetary reserves, with some financial help from a friend and the kind offer of Toots to ‘look after’ the freight, Sherrill was able to purchase the materials.” The first sod of soil was turned in

Page 16 – Cape York Weekly – Tuesday, March 1, 2022

June 1983. Toots and Ron delivered the bricks, all 33,000 of them. Every brick had to be unloaded by hand as there was no forklift. With builders up from Cairns, it took three weeks of achingly long days to build the roadhouse. Toots delivered the fuel, beer and food for the grand opening. Getting the giant water tank from Weipa to the roadhouse was a much bigger task. “Toots knew how much Sherrill wanted to open the roadhouse so in her normal pragmatic way she loaded the water tank, which was way too wide and too high and began the journey to the Archer River,” Donna wrote. “She had not gone far before she was bogged. The load was so cumbersome Toots had to continually

make new tracks through the bush to bypass the many sharp bends, making the trip even longer. “After three days and 200kms of teeth-gritting determination, Toots arrived at the Archer with Sherrill’s water tank.” PAINFUL MEMORIES SHERRILL Mehonoshen will never forget the day the phone rang. “I was standing at the counter of the roadhouse when I got a phone call from one of Ron’s brothers with the news (of Toots’ death),” she told Cape York Weekly. “It was such a shock. The whole region mourned. “It was such an unnecessary accident. Toots always said she’d go with her truck but we didn’t think it would be like this.” Sherrill said Toots was more of a

friend to her than a freight carrier and those who knew of their relationship describe Toots as almost a second mother to Sherrill. “It was the most moving funeral I have ever been to,” Sherrill said of the Cairns service. “As far as I am concerned Toots was a part of the roadhouse and had been there from the beginning.” The Archer River was Toots’ favourite haunt. It was the only place where Toots found relief from her asthma, where she could breathe deeply and smell the earth and wattle. It was only fitting that a cairn and granite plaque be erected at the roadhouse to remind passersby of the great work of Australia’s most famous female truckie. The cairn is shaped roughly like the top end of Queensland and shows a map of the route Toots travelled. Gunther Farbar painted the map and Lawrence De Lai engraved the granite. It will last as long as her legend. A plaque embedded in the cairn and inscribed with words, composed by her daughter Cheryl and Margaret Masters, says it all: We have a legend here in the Cape, We relied on her to bring our freight. When the rain started to ease, The dust must fly, And Toots was always the first To give it a try. Over the hills and gullies, Her truck started to move, With the heat and the flies, She always came through. She’s left us now, But her legend lives on, So chin up there mate, And keep moving on.
