Coen facility faces the chop from state govt

Biosecurity blunder

By MATT NICHOLLS Cape York Weekly exclusive

GROWERS and graziers are angry their livelihoods could be placed at risk after the state government said it was reviewing the future of the Cape York Biosecurity Centre.

“They should be looking at opening it 24 hours, not shutting it down,” said Merluna Station’s Cameron MacLean.

Lakeland’s Joy Marriott added: “It beggars belief that they would be thinking about closing it.”

Federal MP Warren Entsch said he would fight to keep the Coen facility open.

“It’s absolute insanity if they close it. It would be madness,” the Member for Leichhardt said.

Cape York Weekly understands there are two reasons behind the push to close the centre – issues with land tenure and cost-cutting.

The former was confirmed by the Department of Fisheries and Agriculture on Friday.

“The land the CYBC is located on is included in the Cape York United One Claim and DAF is working with Traditional Owners to work through the claim process,” a spokesperson for Biosecurity Queensland said.

Mr Entsch said if land rights were an issue for the state, they had to fight to find a solution.

“If the state government can’t reach an agreement with the Cape York Land Council they must find another location.”

LOCALS TO THE RESCUE

Jeremy Edwards and Amos Dick put their local knowledge to good use last week in the search for missing woman Juliana Castrillon, who spent four days lost in the rainforest south of Cooktown. Cape York Weekly’s Sarah Martin spoke to one of the rescuers, who had an inkling about where he would find the missing Colombian national.

WHAT THEY SAID REACTIONS TO BIOSECURITY CENTRE REVIEW “The threat of tropical diseases entering this country through northern shores is recognised by the federal government and we are asking you to recognise this.

“Increasing support and services in this region is again, critical to continued industry, community health and broader ecosystem health.

“The region is asking you to please do more, not less.”

– Wolverton Station’s

Neville and Emma Jackson

The Cape York Biosecurity Centre, located 22km north of Coen, is facing closure after the state’s agriculture department put it up for review.

Ag industry pushes back against centre’s closure From – Page 1 While DAF says it has yet to form an official view on the future of the centre, it eluded to the cut by spruiking “efficient” alternatives.

“The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries regularly reviews its services to ensure the best use of resources and to keep abreast of contemporary practices,” the spokesperson said.

“The CYBC’s future role is being considered in that context and the review process will involve significant consultation with a broad range of stakeholders.

“The Far Northern Biosecurity Initiative, established in late 2018, has and will continue to increase DAF’s footprint in Far North Queensland.

“This more targeted and efficient way of delivering biosecurity services includes $3.7 million in funding over five years to enhance biosecurity capability in the region, with a strong emphasis on stakeholder empowerment, education, and partnership.”

A retired Biosecurity Queensland officer said the Coen facility had been “super successful”

in stopping the spread of disease over the years.

“It’s mostly fruit diseases but a lot of tourists will pick up driftwood from a beach and they don’t realise what kind of biosecurity problems that can cause if they take it home,” he said.

“That driftwood comes from Indonesia and PNG.” He said the nation’s banana and mango industries would suffer if a disease like black sigatoka spread south, or the red-banded mango caterpillar reached Lakeland or Mareeba.

“They should be spending more, not less,” he said.

Tony Perrett, the state LNP’s spokesperson for agriculture, said it would be “unfathomable” to close the Cape York Biosecurity Centre, located 22km north of Coen.

“Biosecurity matters, now more than ever,” the MP told Cape York Weekly.

“It is unfathomable the state government is even considering closing down biosecurity facilities at such a critical time.

“Locals know how important this facility is in protecting agriculture and our environment against biosecurity threats,

many of which can enter in the Cape and travel south.

“Where is the Member for Cook on this? The closure of the Coen facility would be absolutely destructive for the community Cynthia Lui is supposed to represent.

“Ms Lui and the Minister for Agriculture (Mark Furner) must come out today and guarantee the Coen facility will remain open.”

In a letter to DAF, Wolverton Station grazier Neville Jackson called for the Department to show more support for Cape York’s agricultural industry.

“As cattle producers, it’s a lonely world. We fight weeds and pests very much on our own, we maintain our infrastructure (roads and fences), again on our own and we are isolated with healthcare services, local government services and so many more services that people close to town receive,” he wrote with wife Emma.

“Every day we are committed to producing a quality product, bringing in revenue that is invested back into our local landscape so we can continue what we do, making small improve-

ments along the way. All we ask from you is some support.

“Please continue to reassure us that the health and wellbeing of Queensland’s landscapes is your priority.

“The threat of tropical diseases entering this country through northern shores is recognised by the federal government and we are asking you to recognise this.

“Increasing support and services in this region is again, critical to continued industry, community health and broader ecosystem health.

“The region is asking you to please do more, not less.”

Cook Shire’s acting mayor Robyn Holmes said the council had reached out to the Department, asking it to consult widely with stakeholders before making the decision to close the facility.

“The centre has been there for such a long time and we know they’ve had success in reducing the spread of diseases,” she said.

“Having that local knowledge is imperative.”

She said with plans to expand Lakeland into a major food bowl over the coming decades, more had to be invested in the region’s biosecurity measures.

“They should be looking at opening it 24 hours, not shutting it down.”

– Merluna’s Cameron MacLean “It beggars belief that they would be thinking about closing it. We only have one international border and that’s the Torres Strait and Cape York.

“We should be doing everything in our power to ensure nothing can get through that would destroy our agricultural industry.”

– Lakeland farmer Joy Marriott “It is unfathomable the state government is even considering closing down biosecurity facilities at such a critical time.”

– Tony Perrett, MP, the state LNP’s spokesperson for agriculture “It’s absolute insanity if they close it. It would be madness. ”This just plays into the broader agenda this Labor state government has had for years about shutting down all levels of productivity in Cape York.”

– Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch “The centre has been there for such a long time and we know they’ve had success in reducing the spread of diseases. Having that local knowledge is imperative.”

– Cook Shire Council deputy

mayor Robyn Holmes “It’s mostly fruit diseases but a lot of tourists will pick up driftwood from a beach and they don’t realise what kind of biosecurity problems that can cause if they take it home.

“They should be spending more, not less.”

QUEENSLAND councils are calling for $500 million from the federal government to tackle a growing housing crisis in remote Indigenous communities.

The funding would build new homes for First Nations communities over five years and improve health and education outcomes for present and future generations.

Lockhart River mayor Wayne Butcher said easing the desperate housing shortage was critical to Closing the Gap. “You are never going to sort out the problems of life expectancy, health and education if you don’t get to the roots of the

problem – which is a lack of adequate housing to go along with the growth of the community,” Cr Butcher said.

“In Lockhart River, there’s an average of three generations living under one roof.

“That’s why we’ve always lobbied the federal government to invest in housing – in line with the Closing the Gap policy.

“It affects the health situation of the household – but also the education challenges amongst the children.”

The call comes as communities across Cape York struggle to deal with the housing shortage.

At the tip, Northern Pen-

insula Area Regional Council estimates it needs around 160 more dwellings in order to meet demand.

“Grown up children are living with their parents and their children’s children are living there,” mayor Patricia Yusia said recently.

“We still have three-to-four families living under one roof.

“How can you get to sleep at the right time when other families are running around?”

In Kowanyama, mayor Robbie Sands has a waiting list of around 100 families seeking social housing with up to 15 people sleeping at the one residence.

The Queensland government will hold a housing summit next month with an initial roundtable meeting held last Friday.

Fast tracking social housing was among the key issues raised at the meeting, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said.

“My government has continued to act on this urgent issue including the construction of over 7400 new social and affordable homes as part of our historic $1.9 billion Queensland Housing Strategy Action Plan,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

“But there is more to be done to ensure every Queensland has access to a roof over their head.”

Anywhere at any time: Weipa police boss ILLEGAL quad bike use is rampant in Weipa and parts of Cape York and local police have pulled out all stops to prevent more serious incidents.

Senior Sergeant Warren Flegg said the Weipa police station had recently taken possession of an all-terrain vehicle that will al-

low officers to patrol parts of the Cape they’ve never had access to before.

“It’s purely for off-road use and we’ll be out and about these school holidays to educate people and enforce quad bike laws,” he said.

“We’ve seen in Weipa this

year what happens from improper use of quad bikes with some serious injuries that could have been far, far worse.

“Everyone should know by now the rules around quad bike use but we still see kids riding them around town and people riding them without helmets.”

The new side-by-side ATV has also been used by Weipa’s criminal investigative branch for remote property access.

“We aren’t afraid to take it to places where we think enforcement is needed and you can expect to see us anywhere at any time,” Senior Sergent Flegg said.

Local knowledge key to success

By SARAH MARTIN

THE Bloomfield bushman who found a missing hiker after four days in dense rainforest near Home Rule said she was exactly where he expected her to be.

Amos Dick has spent a lifetime walking the mountainous jungle around Rossville and his hometown of Bloomfield and said he and fellow rescuer Jeremy Edwards found Juliana Castrillon at the spot they had pinpointed before starting their search.

“I thought if she had gone off the track anywhere, she would have gone down the creek,” Mr Dick said.

“She followed the normal protocols, she found the creek and set up her tent there in the most open place that she could get to. If the helicopters had flown low up the river, they might have seen her.”

Ms Castrillon, a Colombian national, was about halfway through the eight-hour hike from Cedar Bay on the coast to Home Rule, near Rossville, when she followed a gully instead of the track and became lost on September 10.

She had only light clothing, a small tent and no food, surviving on fresh water from Granite Creek.

“God told me in a small voice that I would be lost for four days without food,” Ms Castrillon told her rescuers.

Mr Dick said God also gave him confidence during the search, as he

A relieved Juliana Castrillon after she was rescued by locals Amos Dick and Jeremy Edwards last week after a search that made national headlines.

and Mr Edwards came across the historical Granite Creek tin mine with a sign that said ‘Gott Mit Uns’ – ‘God with us’ in German.

“We started our search at about lunchtime on Tuesday, and even though we suspected she was on Granite Creek, we had to be thorough and eliminate the whole area,” Mr Dick said.

“I had a bell and we were ringing it as we went.

“We walked until dark and then set up camp, then the next day

started walking down the creek.”

Mr Dick said the pair had stopped for lunch and were building a fire when Ms Castrillon “jumped up” from behind a rock and called out.

“She wasn’t sure that we were looking for her, we waded through waist-deep water for about 40m to get to her and she was crying and saying she was lost, and we told her we knew all about it.”

The pair gave Ms Castrillon their remaining food, a piece of

bread and some curry, and Mr Dick snapped a few photos for posterity.

“I told Juliana, this photo is for your book, and she asked me how I knew she was going to write a book about what happened,” he said.

“Jeremy actually spoke Spanish – even though Juliana has perfect English – which I think helped calm her down.”

Ms Castrillon attributes her survival to the tent she carried, and also to her good physical condition and mental strength.

“I think it’s all about mental stamina and about keeping calm and accepting what’s happening ... because when you’re in that moment, knowing that you’re lost, you’re tempted to walk, and walking (without directions) can make things worse. Eventually, someone is going to report you missing,” she said.

“I meditated a lot, I prayed and tried to remain connected with my inner self, thinking that I also had the power to get out of there.

“What you have to do is stay within site, in a visible spot, that’s what I did. I went to look for a river so that the river would first give me water and then give me visibility.”

Once found, the trio began walking out and, within 30 minutes, came across another man coming up the creek searching.

“He was a Swiss bloke cooeeing out, coming up the creek and

he probably would have found her if we hadn’t,” Mr Dick said.

“Half an hour later we bumped into seven SES blokes, and they put the message out to stop the search.”

After a three-hour hike back to Home Rule, Ms Castrillon’s emotional family filmed her as she made the final crossing of Wallaby Creek and was reunited with loved ones.

Some had flown in from Sydney to help with the search, which had already made national headlines.

It’s not the first time Mr Dick has been involved in search and rescue operations around his rainforest home.

He helped find a missing man in Cape Tribulation 20 years ago and remembers the desperate search for a missing four-year-old near Rossville when he was a child.

And just two months ago a friend of his went missing, also in the thick bush at Home Rule.

“She had left her phone at the waterfall and got lost when she went back to get it,” he said.

“We went in with pots and pans, banging and making noise, and it got dark, and we had to get torches.

“Thankfully, she was found after only a few hours, but it was a bit of a warm-up for this search.”

Ms Castrillon spent the week recuperating in Cairns with friends and family, before travelling back to her home and business in Byron Bay on Friday.

There are more questions than answers when it comes to last Thursday’s Royal Flying Doctor Service flight to Rio Tinto Weipa’s Amrun mine, but we can report the aircraft made a safe landing.

Injured worker flown from mine airstrip by RFDS A PURPOSE-BUILT road at Rio Tinto’s Amrun mine has been used by the Royal Flying Doctor Service for the first time.

The road is used on a daily basis, but was built with a widened section to allow aircraft to land on it.

Cape York Weekly understands this was the first time any type of aircraft has used the strip.

Both the Royal Flying Doctor Service and Rio Tinto were reluctant to provide any details about the landing.

The RFDS cited patient privacy concerns, despite the fact no questions were asked about the identity of the patient.

Rio Tinto confirmed a worker was taken from Amrun to hospital.

“On Thursday, September 15, a contractor was transferred from Amrun to Cairns

Hospital as a precautionary measure,” a spokesperson said.

“The contractor was discharged the following day without requiring treatment.

“The safety of our people and contractors is our top priority and we are investigating the incident. We are pleased all emergency response procedures went to plan.”

It’s believed the contractor had back/neck pain and health officials decided it would be better for the patient to be retrieved from Amrun, rather than be ferried across the Embley River in an ambulance.

Questions were also put forward to the RFDS about the procedures of landing at an airstrip for the first time, including refuelling options.

Again, patient privacy was cited as the reason for not providing any answers.

Coen artist growing in popularity

By SARAH MARTIN

FROM the tiny community of Coen to the pages of renowned fashion magazines, Cape York artist Naomi Hobson is wowing the art world.

“Here I am, an artist from the bush with a spread in David Jones and Vogue on me just being me,” she said.

“I would never ever in my wildest dreams have thought I’d be featured in magazines like that, it’s surreal, a real pinch-me moment.”

Hobson, born and bred in Cape York, has been an artist her whole life and said she now feels like she has made it.

“It also shows other young people and people of colour that no matter what you do and what path you go down, if you do it well and believe in yourself, opportunities open up everywhere,” she said.

The world seems to agree that the quietly spoken artist has definitely made it, with her works in demand in America, Italy, Singapore and all over Australia.

Even the British Museum re-

cently invited her to exhibit her photographs.

“Everybody loves the photographs,” Hobson said.

“I was just really proud of the young people in the photographs, you can get a sense of who my people are and the community through the images.”

Hobson’s art crosses genres, from colourful paintings to portrait-style photographs and ceramics, and is a way for the artist to express her love for her Cape York community and culture.

“I love Coen and I’m proud of Cape York. Who would have thought other people would fall in love with it through my art, too.”

She said 2022 had been an incredibly busy and exciting year, with the past few weeks spent in colder climes away from her home in Coen.

“I’ve just been to the Sydney Contemporary Art Fair, which is the biggest art fair in the country, and now I’m spending three weeks in Melbourne making ceramics,” she said.

Hobson said if she could tell other aspiring young artists anything, it would be to stay authentic, just be themselves and keep trying.

“I never ever thought I’d be in the position that I am in today, but I just kept doing it and stuck at it, and here I am.”

NEWS IN BRIEF Water restrictions for Coen COEN residents are on water restrictions as Cook Shire Council leaps to conserve the town’s water supply amid concerns over excessive use.

A Cook Shire Council spokesperson said the town water supply was not keeping up with resident’s use.

“Level one water restrictions are in place until advised otherwise. Wednesday is no garden watering at all, and on other days it will be alternating between houses with odd and even numbers, and during strict hours.”

Gardens and lawns can be watered at even numbered houses on Monday, Thursday and Saturday and odd numbered houses on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, between 6am and 8am or 6am and 8pm.

Award-winning artist Wudarabin Snider.

Cooktown teen shines A PASSION for art has paid off for teenager Wudarabin Snider, who took out four major arts awards in Cairns last week.

The 17-year-old Cooktown student, who has been painting since before she could walk, won the Creative Generations Regional Encouragement Award, the Peninsula Art Educators Association Encouragement Award, the TAFE Banggu Minjaany Indigenous Student Artist of the Year Award and the TAFE Outstanding Achievement in Three-Dimensional Art Award.

“I was very shocked, I didn’t think I was going to get anything,” Wudarabin said.

“But I am very proud of myself.”

The award-winning piece, which mesmerised the judging panel in Brisbane, has three elements, a video, an interactive magnet board and a photo board with an Instax camera.

“People can take an instant photo and add it to the wall so they can participate and be part of the artwork,” she said.

Wudarabin’s artwork will be part of the ENERGY Art exhibition at the Tanks Art Centre in Cairns for the rest of the month.

Ten hydropanels have been installed in Mapoon to provide drinking water at the cultural centre.

Source Global’s Alex Polson with the Mapoon council CEO Tom Smith and mayor Aileen Addo.

Could these hydropanels be a game changer in Cape?

A PILOT program in Mapoon has implemented climate-resilient drinking water technology.

The council has partnered with Source Global to deliver a resilient, sustainable, and off-grid drinking water solution for locals.

Ten hydropanels were installed behind the new cultural centre to make clean, safe drinking water.

The hydropanels are the first step in a pilot program designed to

provide infrastructure-free drinking water in remote locations.

Rather than drawing from the water table, the hydropanels use the energy of the sun to harvest pure water vapour from the air and transform it into high-quality drinking water.

The system requires no outside source of electricity or piped water infrastructure, is resilient in the face of storms, and can create

healthy drinking water on site – even in very dry climates.

Mapoon mayor Aileen Addo welcomed the new installation.

“It’s another step towards the Mapoon community becoming more sustainable and resilient,” she said last week.

“Our vision for Mapoon is to be one of Queensland’s healthiest, most culturally rich, and sustainable remote regions.

“Our council already has a reputation for implementing innovative and creative solutions for future service delivery. The hydropanel project will help deliver all of those elements for our community” Pip Schroor, the regional resilience coordinator for the Torres Cape Indigenous Council Alliance, said the system could address water security issues.

“Many people may not be aware

Council representatives from Cook Shire, Aurukun, Hope Vale, Kowanyama, NPARC, Weipa, Napranum and Mapoon came together in the Western Cape last week.

that communities in the Cape and Torres Strait experience water shortages, reduced water quality and water restrictions each dry season,” she said.

“That, coupled with an increasingly variable climate including dry seasons becoming longer and wet seasons becoming more unpredictable, building resilience around water security is crucial for the region.”

Cape councils sharing knowledge MAYORS, councillors and staff from most of Cape York’s councils came together last week to share ideas and knowledge.

Representatives from Mapoon,

Napranum, Weipa, Aurukun, Cook Shire, Hope Vale, Kowanyama and the NPA came together as part of the Torres and Cape Indigenous Councils Alliance.

The group gathered in Mapoon on Wednesday for an excursion and meeting, before gathering in Napranum and Weipa on Thursday.

TCICA chair and Kowanyama

mayor Robbie Sands said it had been another valuable delegation.

“You can’t always measure the success of these meetings but I know all of my fellow mayors

walk away with new ideas and a better understanding of the region,” he told Cape York Weekly.

“We are individual councils with a lot of common goals.”

Two decades on: how trip inspired legend’s album

By SAMUEL DAVIS

PERCHED on a log with guitar in hand, John Williamson pictures himself crooning to an intimate audience circled around a campfire.

The fire crackles as the billowing smoke disappears into the Cape York sky and the bush balladeer takes yet another request.

Give me a home among the gum trees …

In his mind’s eye, this is where one of Australia’s greatest singer-songwriters sees himself.

Serenading ringers and rouseabouts at roadhouses and stations for a feed and place to rest.

“A bit like the old farts at caravan parks who care for the garden in exchange for accommodation,” he adds dryly.

“Maybe I’d play little pubs here and there. Just pull a guitar out and do it.”

Then, suddenly the dream is over.

“Of course, I’d have to bring a sound bloke and some gear with me,” Williamson adds.

“You’ve got to do it properly otherwise everyone will just think I’ve lost it.”

Not bloody likely.

It’s been two decades since Williamson released his 15th studio album Gunyah, filled with tropical treasures about life in Cape York.

Songs like Frangipani Bay, Cape York Peninsula, Sing You the Outback and more celebrate the region’s pioneers and incomparable beauty.

During his time on the wireless, former ABC Far North broadcaster Richard Dinnen would regularly pepper his program with songs from the folk artist – even before the release of Gunyah.

“It was just a delight to play songs like Papa Whisky November on the radio,” the longtime presenter says.

“I mean, how many songs do

• AUTO • MECHANICAL • TOWING • AIR CONDITIONING • DIESEL FITTING It’s been 20 years since John Williamson launched his Cape York-inspired album Gunyah.

you hear about Weipa? I might have been told I overplayed a few of his tracks once or twice.

“But hearing your place get a mention on the radio, especially if you’re a small place, is special.

“That’s always a thrill for little towns.”

Just above the Archer where the wild scrub cattle roam There’s a little wisp of smoke in the air In 2012, while playing at the Exchange Hotel in Coen, Williamson recalls hearing a scratchy voice whisper a request in his ear.

“Eh, can you play Granny’s Little Gunyah?” the local voice asked.

“An old fella requested it,” Williamson recalls.

The album track tells the tale of the late Dawn Jackson and

her corrugated iron house at Wolverton Station.

“I was so stoked that someone wanted to hear me play it that I took a photo of him,” he says.

“He was a lovely old bloke sitting there with a beer.”

The romance of living off the land carries through in each verse, Williamson says.

“The thing about that song is it was all real,” he adds.

“The Jacksons didn’t wear shoes. They had a dirt floor with no lino.

“There’s nothing like the truth for a good song.

“They’re the songs that work because it rings right through the heart.”

These days, Williamson says long tours taking in remote communities aren’t very practical.

“I’m getting to the age where I’d like to prepare for retire-

ment. I grow tomatoes and they turn ripe while I’m away,” the 76-year-old says.

“You can’t have a dog or a chook yard when you’re always travelling, either.”

Festival appearances make more sense now, he says.

Still, the people and region that inspired some of his greatest lyrics stay with him.

“I often throw Papa Whisky and Cape York Peninsula into my sets because they’re singalongs,” he says.

“Especially if I’m in Queensland. It works well at open air events.

“But it was all from personal experience.

“I had wanted to do a proper Cape camping trip and had never really been there by road.

“There was just so much to write about.”

Cyclists cool down at the Cooktown Splash Park.

Riders raise more than $400,000

By SARAH MARTIN

Jackson Starmer and Willow Footer leading the riders into Cooktown.

MORE than 200 tired and proud riders, led by teenager Willow Footer, cycled into Cooktown on Monday after raising a huge amount of money for the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation in the Cardiac Challenge bike ride.

The riders travelled in 11 packs from Cairns to Cooktown, covering the gruelling 333km trip, with average daytime temperatures in the mid-30s, in just three days.

FNQHF chief executive Gina Hogan said donations would continue to roll in for another fort-

night, aiming to reach the ambitious goal of $550,000.

“Really, to be over $400,000 already is incredible, but we have set ourselves a really ambitious goal of $550,000 this year after a record $530,000 was raised last year,” Ms Hogan said.

“We’re raising these funds to help fix hearts in Far North Queensland, and just being a part of the event is quite moving.”

Ms Hogan said every rider had a story, with many riding as survivors of heart conditions, and others riding in legacy of someone they had lost.

“The amount of people impacted by heart conditions, it doesn’t discriminate, they can be young or old and that is reflected in the demographics of our riders,” she said on Monday.

The youngest rider this year was Luke Wright, aged 11, riding with his grandad, Cooktown’s Ray Wright, and the oldest rider was Brian White, aged 80.

Willow, 13, and 12-year-old Cairns lad Jackson Starmer were given the honour of wearing leader’s jerseys to head up the pack of riders as they cycled down Cooktown’s main street.

Local teens push through the pain barrier to complete ride

By SARAH MARTIN

COOKTOWN teenagers Willow Footer and Clare Smith, both 13, joined hundreds of adults to complete the gruelling Cardiac Challenge bike ride.

Willow was also given the honour of leading the peloton into Cooktown, along with 12-year-old rider Jackson Starmer.

Willow, who has been riding for only two years, also completed the Challenge last year.

However, it was Clare’s first long-distance ride.

“I’ve only been riding for about a year,” she said.

“I just really wanted to experience something new like this, and

my grandfather had heart issues, which was a motivator for me to do the ride.”

Willow said she was fortunate not to have any family history of heart conditions, but the feeling of being part of the ride was her motivation.

“The money that gets raised and having the rest of my team with me is such a good feeling,” she said.

The teens were joined by fellow A Team members Tony Cridland, Adrian Bonser, Amanda and Josh Louw, Amy Meyer and Annette Hennebry.

Cooktown’s Ray Wright and Dale Tan, both long-time Cardiac Challenge riders, also took part in the three-day event, along

Page 10 – Cape York Weekly – Tuesday, September 20, 2022

with Ray’s grandson Luke Wright.

Young Luke just pipped Willow and Clare at the post for the honour of being the youngest rider in the Challenge, at only 11 years of age.

Joining the growing number of youngsters taking part was Cairns’ Tomas Rodney at just 12 years old.

Tomas rode in the Rose’s Riders Riding for Luke team in honour of fellow teen cyclist and Cardiac Challenge participant Luke Azzopardi, who passed away tragically in 2021.

Tomas was joined by fellow 12-year-old Jackson Starmer, son of Cairns Base Hospital interventional cardiologist Greg Starmer, himself a long-time Cardiac Challenge supporter.

Challenge has a special place in heart of ex-local

By SAMUEL DAVIS

THE Cardiac Challenge is a cause genuinely close to Bernie Hall-Matthews’ heart.

“The highlight for me is riding into Cooktown,” the keen cyclist says.

“It’s quite beautiful. The town sort of appears out of nowhere and there’s a big welcoming party when you get there.”

The Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation’s threeday 330-km ride – which raises funds for better cardiac services in the region – rolled into town on Monday.

For Matthews, 45, who grew up in Cooktown, the trek is a chance to pay surgeons back for the life-changing operation he had as a child.

“I think I was about four years old when the doctor picked up that I had an irregular heartbeat,” he says.

“It ended up being a blockage in my aorta.”

The diagnosis made sense.

Bernie’s parents noticed he slept more than other kids and had trouble keeping up at times.

Finally, after two years of

FNQHF’s Robyn Rankin and Cook Shire deputy mayor Robyn Holmes.

monitoring his heart, he underwent surgery at the Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane.

“I remember the operation still,” he says.

“It wasn’t traumatic but I’m sure if I had the operation now I’d be packing it.

“Basically, they cut the aorta

and put a patch around it that makes it permanently wider.

Today, a 20cm scar serves as a reminder of the experience.

“It looks like a shark bite from the top of my shoulder down,” he says.

“It wasn’t always that long.

It’s grown with me.”

As a result, Bernie says he doesn’t take having a healthy lifestyle for granted.

“I’ve got to pay it back somehow and I try to keep fit,” he says.

“This is my second time doing the challenge. I did it last year and I think I’ll be doing it for a long time to come.

“Last year the pack I was in let me go to the front towards the end. It was actually really emotional and lovely feeling the wind hit me as we rode in.”

The 2022 ride is the 16th time the event has been held with $5 million raised to improve cardiac services in that time.

Foundation CEO Gina Hogan says cardiac problems can arise at any time in a person’s life with access to care critical to recovery.

“None of us know if we’re born with a heart condition.

“Sometimes we find out early or it develops as we age.

“Regardless of how it happens, we are passionate about doing what we can through this event, to improve health outcomes in Far North Queensland.”

A 15-YEAR-OLD boy is being dealt with under the Restorative Justice Program after multiple break-ins described as “a kick in the guts” for small businesses across Cooktown over several weeks.

Compound Automotive owner Odin Baker, who has only been in business since August, said the burglary at his premises on Charlotte Street on the night of September 13 was a hard start.

“It’s the last thing a small business just getting started needs,” Mr Baker said.

“They got away with about $1000 in cash.”

Mr Baker said his business had cameras, but they had not been connected at the time of the break in.

The teenager was also dealt with in relation to a theft from the Cooktown PCYC on August 27, breaking and entering a licensed premises and stealing alcohol on the same night, breaking, entering and stealing from a local motel on September 9, resisting police on September 10 and breaking, entering and stealing money, food and various items from the Cooktown District Junior Rugby League club house on September 10.

Cooktown Police officer in charge Senior Sergeant John McArthur said police were also investigating other similar offences.

Tourists topple over VISITORS to Weipa received the shock of their lives when a U-turn went wrong on Eastern Avenue last week.

In the dark, the driver pulled off the road to make a turn, only to drop into a drain.

The driver and their passenger escaped major injuries, with some cuts and bruises.

Shop stealing charge A 26-YEAR-OLD Aurukun man has been charged with one count of stealing that occurred on Tuesday, September 13 in Weipa.

Police will allege the man entered a Commercial Avenue business around 9.40am and stole items from the business.

He is scheduled to appear at the Weipa Magistrates Court on October 11.

Bloomfield Track delays MOTORISTS on the Bloomfield Track are advised to expect minor delays and traffic changes this week.

Wujal Wujal Aboriginal Shire Council has started grading the northern end of the track, with the grader expected to be on the road from Monday to Thursdays over the next few weeks.

Delays of up to 20 minutes are expected.

Dementia cases can drop: JCU

Kuku Yalanji man Johnny Murison started Jarramali Rock Art Tours in 2017.

Burgeoning rock art tours boast biggest ever season A BATTLING Cape York tourism business has bounced back to enjoy its best peak season to date.

Jarramali Tours combines offroad adventures, ancient Indigenous rock art and hearty bush tucker.

Started in 2017, the Laura-based business struggled early before enjoying a breakout 2022.

“It’s been transformational,” founder Johnny Murison said.

“You look at our reviews and you can see the impression it leaves on people.

“It’s been back-to-back (tours) throughout June and July.

“The flow of tourists coming from Victoria, NSW and even the United States has been constant.”

A proud Kuku Yalanji man, Mr Murison said around 400 visitors had toured Quinkan country with him since May.

During their tour, guests trek along sandstone escarpments that served as a canvas for thousands of years.

“People are so engaged,” Mr Murison said of the rock art.

“They want to soak it all in at once. The first few years you’re just covering your expenses, you’re pumping everything back into the business.

“But you believe in what you’re

doing and keep going and it’s starting to take off.

Support from Queensland Tourism and television programs like Weekender have helped the business grow, Mr Murison said.

“It’s always a massive risk starting something like this but it’s finally starting to show.”

Jarramali tours will start again after the wet season.

REDUCING rates of diabetes, obesity and smoking in remote Indigenous communities could dramatically lower the number of dementia cases, a new study suggests.

The Healthy Ageing Research Team at James Cook University analysed health data from more than 370 First Nations residents aged 40 years or older living in the Northern Peninsula Area and Torres Strait.

The study found that more than half of all dementia cases among First Nations people in the regions may be caused by modifiable risk factors.

“Our previous work suggested that dementia is an emerging health issue among Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal peoples in Far North Queensland,” said researcher Fintan Thompson.

“We thought it likely that historically recent exposure to modifiable risk factors was contributing.”

The new study suggests 11 risk factors may contribute to up to 52 per cent of dementia cases in the population studied.

The study, conducted alongside Torres and Cape Hospital and Health Service, suggests rates of dementia could decline if these risk factors were reduced.

Big names at festival’s 20th year

By SARAH MARTIN

THERE are less than 500 tickets left for the 20th Wallaby Creek Festival, a milestone which will be shared by festival director Jen Midgley as she celebrates 10 years in the director seat.

The festival has been held annually, apart from a shut down in 2020 due to COVID, and Ms Midgley has been involved for 17 years.

“I’ve been excited about this for months,” she said.

“My first Wallaby festival I was a helper in the kid’s tent, and my son Benjamin was three weeks’ old – now he’s 17.

“Wallaby is a part of my life, it’s shaped me into the person I am today, and my children have grown up around the festival.”

The three-day celebration of music and arts runs from Friday to Sunday and is held at Shipton’s Flat, the second year in its new location.

Ms Midgley said tickets were likely to sell out.

“If it keeps going up by 100 a day like it is at the moment, we will sell out. We have a cap of 2500, but that includes about 600 volunteers, supporters, musicians and stallholders.”

The 20th anniversary event has “more headline acts than ever”,

with three stages of live music, as well as workshops, circus, dance, street theatre, children’s festival, food and market stalls and crocfree swimming in the Wallaby Creek and Annan River.

The festival is held at 720 Shipton’s Flat Road, just past the Lion’s Den Hotel.

The festival will be headlined by blues sensation Ash Grunwald, primitive dance groover Ganga Giri and blues rockers 19-Twenty.

They will be supported by a host of other local and national artists including Dallas Frasca, Lady Valiant, Coldwater Band, The Go Set, Sun Salute, Ella Hartwig and Yazmindi.

Ash Grunwald is one of the headline acts at the Wallaby Creek Festival.

NEWS IN BRIEF Family Fun Day tomorrow A DEDICATED space for Cooktown’s youth is being reinvigorated, with a Family Fun Day on Wednesday the first of many planned activities for the much-loved “Block” building on Charlotte Street.

Known locally as The Block, the land was gifted to the youth of Cooktown in the 1980s by Robert MacLellan, and a building added to the space in the 1990s.

The Cooktown District Community Centre, My Pathway and the Cooktown Youth Centre Association are joining forces to provide a free family fun day aimed at generating interest in the youth association and ideas for future use of The Block.

Mick McDermott from the CDCC said the event was the first step towards regular activities at The Block.

“We’re envisioning getting it back to how it was with a space for youth to relax with regular activities for kids and teens. It’ll be a process of getting our young people involved and understanding what they want,” he said.

The free Family Fun Day runs from 9am to 1pm at The Block at 30 Charlotte Street (opposite the council depot), and is open to all ages.

There will be free food and refreshments, with a barbecue lunch, icy cups and snacks, and plenty of fun for all ages including outdoor laser tag, arts and craft, a kid’s corner and banner making.

New office for NRM COOKTOWN’S Cape York Natural Resource Management staff have moved into new premises, only 50m from their previous office on the town’s main street.

The team, along with staff from South Cape York Catchments, have moved from the historical Old Bank building across the road to the former Cooktown Cultural and Aboriginal Tours office at 113 Charlotte Street.

Cape York NRM business support Manager Maree Willis said the new office would be a much more identifiable building with new signage, facilities and landscaping at the rear.

“Our tenure at the Old Bank has ended as new plans are afoot for that historic building,” she said.

“It’s a beautiful site and it was great to be tenants there, but we are very excited to have this new office, which will be much more user-friendly for our staff and for visitors. We want it to become a hub for the community.”

Cape York NRM has had offices in Cooktown for seven years and is the base for project officers as they travel the region.

AUTHORISATION MEETING FOR NATIVE TITLE DETERMINATION AGREEMENT

Northern Peninsula Sea Claim (QUD114/2017)

Ankamuthi Native Title Group

Cape York Land Council (CYLC) will hold an authorisation meeting on Wednesday 5 October 2022 in Injinoo for the Ankamuthi Native Title Group to consider whether to authorise a proposed agreement for a determination of native title over that part of the Ankamuthi area as shown on the map below, coloured blue, that is within 30km of the coast.

Position Vacant Regional Agriculture Landcare Coordinator (RALF) • Permanent Full Time (75 hr fortnight) • Salary is $84,118 per annum including 5 weeks annual leave, plus 17.5% leave loading plus 10.5% superannuation guarantee • Based in Cooktown • Remote leave and bonus applicable for Cooktown residents Cape York NRM works with the people of Cape York to encourage voluntary adoption of improved natural resource management across all land tenures and land uses on Cape York. We help people to work together and promote the sustainable use of Cape York’s natural resources.

About the position

A determination of native title involves a decision of the Federal Court. Important things about a determination of native title include that the Federal Court determines (1) who holds native title, (2) what the native title rights are, (3) the area to which the native title rights apply after any determination is made, and (4) which corporation will represent the members of the determined native title group. If the meeting on Wednesday 5 October 2022 authorises the proposed determination of native title, the determination will then be sought in the Federal Court. The Court has listed a hearing for a potential consent determination for the areas shown on the map above (except for the areas labelled “Wuthathi Interest Area”, “Wuthathi TUMRA Area”, “Excluded Area”, and that part of the area labelled “Ankamuthi” that is beyond 30km from the coast), if there is to be a consent determination, on 30 November 2022 at either Horn Island or Thursday Island.

Who is invited to attend the meeting?

The meeting is open to all descendants by birth, or adoption in accordance with traditional law and custom, of one or more of the following apical ancestors: 6. Asai Charlie 1. Woobumu and Inmare 2.

Purpose of the Authorisation Meeting The purpose of the meeting is to decide whether or not to approve the proposed agreement for a determination of native title for the area shown on the map above (that part coloured blue that is within 30km of the coast). The agenda of the meeting will be to consider whether the persons present: • agree and adopt a decision-making process; • agree to the proposed agreement for a determination of native title; • decide to incorporate a proposed corporation to represent the native title holders identified in the proposed agreement for a determination of native title or, alternatively, decide to nominate an existing corporation that is qualified to do so; • if a decision is made to incorporate the proposed corporation, make a decision (1) to approve the rules of the proposed corporation, (2) to identify who will be the initial directors and contact person for the proposed corporation, and (3) to authorise one or more named persons to apply to the Office of the Registrar of Indigenous Corporations to register the proposed corporation; • agree to nominate the proposed corporation once it is registered, or, nominate an existing corporation, to be the corporation to represent the native title holders identified in the proposed agreement for a determination of native title (called a “prescribed body corporate”); • authorise the Principal Legal Officer of CYLC to nominate the proposed corporation in writing to the Federal Court for it to be the prescribed body corporate under ss.56(2)(b) or 57(2)(b) of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) for the proposed determination of native title; and • agree to the Applicant discontinuing that part of the Northern Peninsula Sea Claim that is beyond 30km from the coast for which no determination of native title is proposed.

A determination of native title involves a decision of the Federal Court. Important things about a determination of native title include that the Federal Court determines (1) who holds native title, (2) what the native title rights are, (3) the area to which the native title rights apply after any determination is made, and (4) which corporation will represent the members of the determined native title group. If the meeting on Tuesday 4 October 2022 authorises the proposed determination of native title, the determination will then be sought in the Federal Court. The Court has listed a hearing for a potential consent determination for the areas shown on the map above (except for the areas labelled “Wuthathi Interest Area”, “Wuthathi TUMRA Area”, “Excluded Area”, and that part of the area labelled “Ankamuthi” that is beyond 30km from the coast), if there is to be a consent determination, on 30 November 2022 at either Horn Island or Thursday Island.

Torres Strait Olympian Patty Mills put kids through their paces at the Wongai basketball court on Thursday Island last week.

Patty a huge hit with Island kids

By SAMUEL DAVIS

THE quest to find the next Patty Mills has started ahead of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics and the Aussie Boomers star is helping lead the way.

The NBA champion stopped by Wongai basketball court on Thursday Island last Wednesday afternoon to run a clinic for kids as part of his Speaking My Language national tour.

With around 120 boys and girls scurrying from outer islands and the Northern Peninsula Area to be in attendance, the bronze medallist ran through skills and drills with trainer DJ Sackmann.

Mills’ uncle and fellow Olympian Danny Morseu sat courtside for the clinic and said the event was a special treat for the community.

“It was excellent and you could see the kids were really excited,” Morseu said.

“I think some of them were just really happy to meet someone who plays in the NBA.” The former NBL champion said the clinic coincides with You for 2032 – the largest talent search the state has seen as it prepares

to find our next great athletes to compete on home soil in a decade’s time.

“There’s a platform now with the Olympics coming to Queensland,” Morseu said.

“We need to start looking at preparing our kids to go to the next level.”

Building better facilities in the Torres Strait for sportspeople was crucial, the exBrisbane Bullets star said.

“One of the things we want is to build a proper basketball stadium up here with a wooden floor,” he said.

“We’d link it in with a structured program through the school.

“It could be sort of like a mini-AIS (Australian Institute of Sport) in a way.”

Morseu said he’d mentioned the idea to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese during his visit last month and again during Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s most recent stay.

“It’s very important and one of the ways we can create opportunities for Torres Strait Islanders,” he said.

Along with Mills and Morseu, Cape York and the Torres Strait is home to some of Australia’s greatest basketball stars including Nate Jawai, Deba George and Tamuri Wigness.

League stars heading to the Cape INTERNATIONAL rugby league superstar Petero Civoniceva has flown into Kowanyama to spend time with the community ahead of the Future Immortals Tour.

Kowanyama will be the first stop for the Immortals Tour, which will bring 26 retired rugby league stars to the Cape for four days.

Organised by the Arthur Beetson Foundation, the tour aims to help former NRL stars give back to regional and remote communities.

Civoniceva, who in 2009 broke the record for the most international matches of any

forward in history, was in town earlier this month as the official ambassador for the tour.

He spent two days in the community chatting with residents and even helped out with animal management, wrangling a few kittens and joining council rangers on their rounds.

“It was great to have Petero in town promoting the Immortals Tour and also some of council’s key programs, such as our animal management program,” Kowanyama Aboriginal Shire Council acting CEO Kevin Bell said.

He said funds raised by the Arthur Beetson Foundation through

the Immortals event in October would go back into supporting local community priorities such as infrastructure and equipment.

Brad Beetson, son of the late football great Arthur Beetson, whose Foundation aims to empower Indigenous Australians and remote and regional Queensland communities to better life outcomes, said he had never been to Kowanyama before, but thoroughly enjoyed his trip.

“We all had a great time, and the community was so very welcoming,” Mr Beetson said.

“We can’t wait to go back from October 13 for the first events of the Immortals Tour.”

TOURNAMENT

SPORT IN BRIEF Milestone for Stretch USUALLY featuring at the other end of the leaderboard, Stretch Noonan hit the ball straight last Wednesday and was rewarded with 49 off the stick to win the Wackers.

His nett score of 28.5 was just enough to beat Gary Head, who had 29.5.

Mick Foy won both nearest to pins, while visitor Hughie picked up the Bradman’s in a big field of 21.

On Sunday, at Weipa’s Dawn Busters social golf, Jim Lucas won on a countback from Lucas Duvenhague.

Mark Jorgensen picked up the Hoffman’s and prizes went to Ross Craven for nearest to pin and Derek Tata for longest drive.

Butler wins, Biddle collects

Cape York Weekly Page 24 – Cape York Weekly – Tuesday, September 20, 2022

WOULD you rather win the overall event or the side bet cash?

At Cooktown Golf Club on Saturday, Steve Butler won the white tee stroke event with a nett 64, pipping Daniel Biddle by a stroke.

But in the side bet pool, which is based off stableford points, it was Biddle who prevailed.

It ended up being a bittersweet day for both golfers, who enjoyed sublime conditions as the course starts to make a comeback as a result of hard working volunteers.

Butler took the nearest to pins on 2/11 and 14, while Chris Hatton was closest on 9/18.

With a public holiday this Thursday, golfers are invited to turn up at Walker Bay for an ambrose event.

Cost is $20 per two-person team, no green frees and a free sausage sizzle.

Saturday’s event is a white tee stableford from 9.30am.

AFL Cape York stars head south for training camp A TALENTED Cape York trio will take on some of Queensland’s most exciting AFL prospects this week.

Teenagers Steven GilbertKean, Rushon George and Warrkubarran Chad Williams are attending the Gold Coast Suns Diversity Talent Camp in Maroochydore, which started on Monday.

The players will take the field for a scratch match on Tuesday with a handful of recruiters watching on, AFL Cape York operations officer Jake O’Halloran said.

“We get a north Queensland and south Queensland representative team together,” O’Halloran told Cape York Weekly.

“The Lions and Suns academy scouts have a look at the game so

it’s a great opportunity. But there are some cultural awareness programs run, too, so the kids get a lot out of it.”

George, from Rossville and Willams, who is from Aurukun, will have a chance to shine.

However, O’Halloran said he was most excited for Kowanyama’s Gilbert-Kean following a series of interrupted seasons.

Morgan Slykerman, Nickalah Cobus, Maiika Hegamaea, Kaecie Gibson and Shaylanee Hegamaea.

“He hasn’t had a proper go at AFL for the last three years really,” he said.

“He’s one I’m really thinking can do well.

“Steve’s a really dedicated kid.

He does his own training and is around 192cms tall and really skilful. He’s invested a lot into it.

“It’s super that Stephen’s getting his chance.” – Samuel Davis

Junior footy wraps up for season

By SARAH MARTIN

COOKTOWN, Hope Vale and Wujal Wujal juniors have hung up their footy boots for the year, after a strong, competitive junior rugby league season.

Both Wujal Wujal and Hope Vale juniors were playing as registered clubs for the first time, with Wujal Wujal mayor Bradley Creek and Bloomfield River State School principal Reece Toomey instrumental in forming the Wujal Wujal Yindili Junior Rugby League Club for their inaugural season.

“It was a great first season for the Yindili juniors,” Toomey said.

“Well done to all the teams for their fantastic support and organisation.”

Toomey said without the help of Cr Creek, Meredith Schrieber, Talika Greenwool and Jordon Diamond, the club would not have been able to operate.

“Also, without the support of the Cooktown Crocs we would not have got going. The kids improved so much over a short time and made some good friends from different communities,” he said.

Hope Vale Cockatoos secretary Wes Gray said the juniors had played before, but under the banner of the Cooktown Crocs, and had been excited to represent their own club for the first time.

“It’s our first season as our own incorporated club and we are happy to be creating a legacy for these kids,” Mr Gray said.

“We’re keen to kick off again next year and would like to thank our sponsors Diatreme Resources and the Hope Vale Foundation.”

Cooktown District Junior Rugby League Club president Teila

Winton thanked those who made the season such a success.

“We are so grateful to all of our sponsors and supporters this season – Cooktown RSL Memorial Club, Cooktown Hardware, Cooktown Bowls Club, Mossman Port Douglas Treelopping, Cooktown Caravan Park, Cooktown Tours and Cook Shire Council,” she said.

“Our incredible on-field team of coaches, referees and league safe officials – they are the people who are on the ground with the kids every Tuesday and Thursday putting in the hard work.

“This year we added an under-7 league tag team and next year we hope to expand further to include under-6 league tag.

“Another accomplishment was taking teams away to Mossman twice and having them come here.”

Cooktown wrapped up the season with presentations last week, with winners as follows: UNDER-7 LEAGUE TAG Best and fairest: Maiika Hegamaea Encouragement: Nickalah Cobus Most improved: Kaecie Gibson UNDER-9 LEAGUE Best and fairest: Jonathan Coventry Encouragement: Henry Godfrey-Roberts Most improved: Lachlan Tran UNDER-11 LEAGUE Best and fairest: Max Giese Encouragement: Caleb Kamholtz Most improved: Haila Hegamaea UNDER-13 LEAGUE Best and fairest: Robert Salee Encouragement: Finn Stone Most improved: Rudi Habermann U13-17 LEAGUE TAG Best and fairest: Charlie Oakley Encouragement: Kaylee Stewart Most improved: Rocco Thomason

Valentine Holmes was the hero in the qualifying final against the Sharks. Can he continue to follow in the footsteps of fellow fullback Matt Bowen and become a Cowboys legend?

Cowboys legend daring to dream

By SAMUEL DAVIS

VALENTINE Holmes’ silky right slipper paved the way but it’s mateship that has the Cowboys on the cusp of premiership glory, a club legend says.

Like thousands of Cowboys fans, Hope Vale prodigy Matty Bowen celebrated as Holmes’ field goal sailed through the sticks, securing a famous 32-30 finals win over Cronulla at the death.

The Shark Park victory sets up a preliminary final at home this Friday night against the Parramatta Eels.

Watching teammates storm the ground to embrace Holmes was a sign this year’s group were playing for each other, Bowen said.

“As players, you can feel that camaraderie and you know when you’re good enough to go all the

Matt Bowen is North Queensland Cowboys royalty.

way,” the former Origin star told Cape York Weekly.

“We had that in 2005 when we made the grand final.

“We had it in 2007 and probably 2004 even when we made preliminary finals and no one thought

we’d get there. You can see the boys have got real belief.

“The whole of North Queensland is behind them now.”

Cowboys hooker Reece Robson said the golden point thriller underscored the players’ belief.

“We backed ourselves that our fitness would still be there and help us later in the game,” Robson said.

“The want and desire – the boys didn’t just shy away from it. We just kept to the task and came away with the win.”

Bowen praised Cowboys mentor Todd Payten, who recruited halves Tom Dearden and Chad Townsend to the club while making major changes to the team’s game plan.

“He’s been a massive part of our achievements this year,” the Hope Vale legend said.

“Everyone bought into what he wanted to do. He brought in new coaches and new ideas.

“Everyone thought he was strange for limiting Jason Taumalolo’s minutes but it’s paid dividends.

“You’re one win away from a

grand final. It was great to watch but the boys have been playing well all year. Everyone’s doing their job.”

While this year’s Cowboys squad doesn’t feature any Cape York talent, Bowen said a new academy he’s founded will help future stars emerge from beyond the Bloomfield River.

“I’ve been up there a lot and you see the local Indigenous kids who have so much talent, no matter the shape of the ball,” he said.

“They just need opportunity.

I’m starting up my MB1 sports academy to capture that.

“We’ve run a few clinics. It’s not just about rugby league but sports performance in general.”

Kickoff at Townsville Stadium starts at 7.50pm on Friday night with fans from across the Cape expected to be in the stands.
