MAYFAIR UNABLE TO SETTLE PROPERTIES DOMINIC MOBBS THE Mayfair 101 Group arrived in Mission Beach with a bang in August 2019, touting a strategy for a 15-year investment of $1.6billion in the region. Their plans included not only acquiring Dunk Island and constructing new resorts there, but Mayfair also spruiked numerous new resorts, 700 new residential properties, restaurants, an entertainment complex, golf course etc on the mainland.

These plans are now looking shaky.

Numerous property owners, believed to be more than 70, were informed on Monday by Mayfair that the “tightening of the credit markets” due to the coronavirus pandemic “has forced the Group to adjust its forecasts according to the Group’s liquidity profile” such that Mayfair is “unable to carry out the essential obligation to pay the purchase price on the settlement date.”

The senate inquiry has now been placed on hold due to the Coronavirus.

But there appears to be a lack of understanding on the purpose of the senate inquiry currently circulating on social media.

To ensure that the purpose of the enquiry is understood I will inform that it is about ensuring there is independent checking and replicating the reef science to ensure its accuracy and to stop the wrongful focus on farmers and farming practices.

The farmers have made significant changes in their water quality since approximately 2001 and continue to make improvements to ensure that they live on healthy land. Farmers have been feeling that the efforts that they have made to improve the water quality runoff from the properties hasn’t been acknowledged by the State government and they are responsible for the implementation of legislative changes that affect the farmers day to day living.

There appears to be a misunderstanding that it is focusing on the farmers. The senate inquiry came about due to a delegate of farmers and Dr Peter Ridd going to Canberra to ask for an enquiry to be conducted into the most recent changes being made by the state government, which they felt wrongly focused on farmers and farming practices.

LOCAL AFFAIRS

MAYFAIR UNABLE TO SETTLE PROPERTIES CONTINUED FROM PG1 March was always going to be a tight month for Mayfair. It was the peak month for payments with over $42m needing to be outlaid to complete property acquisitions, together with stamp duty and rates to Council.

According to correspondence sent to property vendors, Mayfair claims to remain committed but contracts will be “suspended until conditions normalise.”

Mayfair is relying on ‘force majeure’ or ‘material adverse event’ clauses to justify its actions. These clauses permit a party to avoid their contractual obligations in the event of a major unforeseen event.

A number of the vendors CCIN spoke with expressed substantial displeasure with Mayfair.

They could not understand why Mayfair would enter into contracts if it did not have the funds already in hand, or committed. If they did not have the money, why did Mayfair not at the outset seek a ‘sub-

ject to finance’ clause in the contract? Mayfair appeared to be gambling that it could raise the funds in time.

Some vendors have had their settlements extended numerous times already, and the concept of now being in limbo to an indefinite date in the future was not attractive.

Some vendors had already had deposits released to them, and several of these seemed inclined to terminate their contract and keep the deposit. For others the deposit sum was still in trust, and these sellers seemed torn between hanging on in the hope of eventually being paid, or trying to terminate the contract.

CCIN contacted Bryant Constructions who are undertaking building work on the Dunk Island Spit for Mayfair. They indicated that they were not prepared to comment on their current contractual situation with Mayfair, but they were “still working.”

It is interesting that Mayfair refers to the impact of a “severe tightening in the credit markets” and not the equity/share

markets which are certainly in freefall. Mayfair is a fund manager that seeks monies from investors by offering what they call “term based interest rates” in the region of 3%pa to 6%pa plus, for terms of 3 months to 5 years. With interest rates for short and term deposits generally falling over the past few years, and in particular the last few weeks, you would have thought Mayfair’s product offering would be increasingly attractive, unless investors were concerned as to where the funds were being invested.

Indeed, if the environment for fund raising is so bad, one wonders why Mayfair is advertising for investors nearly every day in the national media?

It is a concern that Mayfair is apparently encountering liquidity problems well before it needs the $1billion to complete its ‘Project Paradise’ vision of transforming the area into “the tourism mecca of Australia.”

Mayfair’s media representatives were approached for comment but no response was received prior to publication.

CCRC COVID-19 ADVICE Practice ‘social distancing’ and follow Queensland Health as the primary source of information about COVID-19 (also known as coronavirus). This is key advice from Cassowary Coast Regional Council to residents regarding ways in which they can help protect themselves and the community.

‘Social distancing’ offers practical ways to increase physical space between others to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at home, in the workplace, in public and schools.

In support of this advice, Council requests all customers to consider and start practicing ways to submit their enquiries via website, email, or phone 1300 763 903 rather than in-person consultations.

Council is not proposing office closures at this point, and these alternative forms of contact will make it easier to continue doing business without compromise to its level of service.

The Federal Government has established clear delegations to all levels of government in managing the pandemic, and as a local government Cassowary Coast Regional Council is implementing specific measures to ensure the safety of its workforce as well as essential services remain unaffected, while protecting the community and their staff.

Council and the community should be prepared for advice to change as more information comes to hand and Federal and State Governments implement different measures.

Cassowary Coast businesses are also encouraged to follow advice from Business Queensland with risk management and business continuity planning to best protect themselves and the local economy against downstream impacts of the pandemic.

International Women’s World Day of Prayer in Tully On Friday March 6, the Catholic ladies of St Clare’s, Tully hosted the International world day of prayer. Some 45 ladies

plus a few men enjoyed a gathering of many religious denominations.

The Zimbabwe country was the designated place

of prayer. We had on display some of what they grow and cooking utensils, plus their national flag and flower.

Our guest speaker was a local resident Diane Russell who lived in Zimbabwe for about 46 years.

She gave us an interesting

talk of what it was like to live there and raise her children.

A collection was taken on the day and has been for-

warded onto them. We all gathered to enjoy a cuppa where the traditional cake and Zimbabwe food was served.

The reins were handed over to the family church who will be hosts for 2021, and the country will be Vanuatu.

Feast of the Senses River Feast (Market Day) on March 29 Postponed Due to Coronavirus It is with deep regret that the Feast of the Senses committee announces the postponement of the 2020 River Feast (Market Day) due to be held on Sunday, March 29. However, the Feast of the Senses festival is a four-day festival and our smaller events will still go ahead. This decision comes after the Australian Government announcement of the ban on events in which over 500 people are in attendance.

We are at this point in time not able to set a new date for our River Feast

(Market Day) but the committee will monitor the situation and once given an all clear, a new date later in 2020 will be set to showcase our amazing region.

We will send further communication in the coming weeks as more information is available.

River Feast is shaping up to be our best Market Day yet and with a record number of stalls having signed up we know that once we can hold the event, it will be an event not to be missed.

The committee wishes

to advise that the Feast of Talent competition scheduled to be held at Innisfail Shire Hall on Saturday, March 28 has also been cancelled due to a lack of entries.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support so far in 2020 and we look forward to working together later in the year.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact us by email - manager@feastofthesenses. com.au or visit Feast of the Senses Facebook page

Page 4 Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, March 19, 2020

for further information and updates.

The Feast of the Senses Committee has had to make the difficult decision to postpone ALL Feast of the Senses events until further notice.

After consulting with our valued stakeholders and partners in the community, it has been decided that the evolving risk of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 situation is too high to continue, for now.

This timely decision will allow all of our stall-holders, food-ven-

dors, farmers, and other partners to reduce any negative economic impacts as much as possible.

However, if you would like to support your community and Australia’s farmers, please consider heading over to Farmer Meets Foodie.

Due to massive food event cancellations, many farmers are now facing economic hardship and the prospect of throwing-out a surplus of perfectly good produce.

Farmer Meets Foodie links these businesses with

new markets, and connects chefs and other potential clients, cutting-out the middle-man, and making sure nothing goes to waste.

If you have already bought tickets for ANY of the events and would like a refund, please email us to organise this! All tickets WILL be REFUNDED. This Feast of the Senses was shaping up to be our best event yet, with an incredible committee of volunteers, as well as numerous sponsors and partners, and of course the support of the community.

At this point in time we are not able to set a new date for the Feast of the Senses, but the Committee will monitor the situation and once given an all clear, we’ll set a new date later in 2020 to showcase our amazing region.

Karen Smith Loses Her Plaits in the Fight to Beat Blood Cancer MARIA GIRGENTI KAREN Smith from Innisfail Meals on Wheels lost her long plaits last week for the World’s Greatest Shave, raising money for Leukaemia Foundation at Innisfail Meals on Wheels centre.

A group of Innisfail Meals on Wheels and friends gathered to witness the emotional moment when Smith’s plaits were cut which she has grown since Year 8 with the loss well worth it as $561 was raised in the fight to beat blood cancer.

Smith is an assistant cook at Innisfail Meals on Wheels which has 30 volunteers who assist in the preparation and delivery of 100 nutritious home-made meals three times per week to elderly, frail, disabled and vulnerable members in the local community.

Smith said the cause was something very close to her heart as her mother Glad Smith was diagnosed with blood cancer and is undergoing treatment.

“There are many forms of cancer that have positive outcomes. However, leukaemia and blood cancers have long treatment periods and don’t have good outcomes so more funds are always needed for research, treatment and support services.

“It’s even more heartbreaking to see children with blood cancers as they lose precious time and it has a huge financial impact on their families.”

Smith’s plaits will be sent to Sustainable Salons in Victoria where they will be used by Canteen as hair products and wigs for kids with cancers, alopecia and other cancer patients.

The Leukaemia Foun-

dation World’s Greatest Shave started in 1988 and now in its 22nd year remains one of Australia’s biggest fundraising events.

People of all ages shave, colour or wax, cut ponytails, banish beards and trim top knots.

Blood cancer is one of the top four most frequently diagnosed cancers in Australia and is one of the leading causes of death by cancer in the country.

Every day another 41 people will be diagnosed, and currently there are more than 110,000 living with blood cancer or related disorders. This figure will more than double by 2035 which will mean more than 100 people per day will be diagnosed with blood cancer.

The Leukaemia Foundation hope to reach their bold goal of zero deaths lost to blood cancer by

2035.

This year World’s Greatest Shave hopes to raise $16.5 million and since it started more than two million Australians have taken part with an estimated 37,500 kilograms of hair removed.

All monies raised go towards funding vital research that will help more people survive blood cancers such as lymphoma, leukaemia and myeloma while improving their quality of life.

World’s Greatest Shave ran from March 11 - 15 and for more information, you can visit www.worldsgreatestshave.com. On the website, people can also sponsor Karen by clicking on Donate button and then do an individual search for Karen Smith to make a donation.

SUPA IGA Tully Wins State-Wide Customer Service and Experience Award SEAN DENT Tully’s own SUPA IGA has been named Best in Queensland for Customer Service and Experience.

This is a source of particular pride to owners, Craig and Elly-May Teitzel, as customer service was the thing that they hung their hats on a few years back when the local economy got tough following Yasi and Panama.

“I said to everyone working here, how can we make our service better?

Speak with your customer, engage with them, make sure everything’s clean and that we get what they want,” said Elly-May. She also decided during those harder times that they had to offer a broader range of products. “People have to eat, but they can choose what they eat,” Elly-May said, “They can choose an 80-cent packet of noodles instead of a rump steak. As a grocer, you notice the difference when times are a bit tougher. People buy different things.” She saw their role as one of helping families get through those hard times to the other side.

She also spent time thinking about the lines they stock. For instance, she took a gamble on stocking more fresh produce and organic food. “I felt people wanted to eat healthier. Craig said to me, what if it doesn’t sell? I said, let’s try and see.” It did sell and has had a spin-

off effect. “People come in from out of town because their amazed at some of the things we sell.”

Elly-May said they don’t see themselves as merely supplying goods to customers, but rather

of a total power outage in the town, so even if people were without power for days or weeks, fresh or frozen items will still be available at SUPA IGA. Craig pointed out that when they refer to custom-

as the hub of the community. For example, they installed a generator that will allow the store to continue running even in the event

er service, it goes beyond the people at the front desk giving customers a smile and asking how their day is going. Tully SUPA IGA

is loved in Tully because it goes the extra mile for its diverse range of customers. It’s open practically every day in the year, and weekdays it opens its doors at 5:00am to cater for the many backpackers

volved with reaching out to help the community in terms of fundraising, even though most of their efforts fly under the radar.

People in the town know how much they do, but the Teitzels never broadcast it.

in all of Queensland and because it is something that happened behind the scenes. “Without us even knowing, people went onto the IGA website and offered to give feedback to the organisation about

Craig and Elly-May Teitzel with the Customer Service and Experience Award who head out to the fields at that time, and stays open till 7:00pm. Even Sundays, it’s open till 5:00pm.

Both are also very in-

Elly-May said this award means so much to them because it means they are then number one for customer experience

their local IGA. It means that our customers are saying they have a great experience when they come to our store.”

We asked about the current panic buying, but Craig is no wiser than most of us as to the mass buying of toilet paper. He does not see it as a longterm problem. He told us all the toilet paper is produced in Australia and it will just take a bit of time for the manufacturers to catch up. They’ve started to see a bit of panic buying with regard to rice, pasta, and feminine hygiene products, and expects to see something similar with hand sanitizers and antibacterial wipes. Again, he sees it as a short-term problem because behind the scenes, there’s no shortage.

Based on the feedback from customer, IGA Head office had this to say about the Tully store: “At SUPA IGA Tully, great community-based Service is the cornerstone that builds the success of this store and is led from the top by owners Craig and Elly-May. The team delivers great service, whether it’s ensuring minimal wait times, greeting customers by their first name or Craig dropping off home deliveries, no job is too hard. The store team are always assisting with fundraising, supporting local events and being an integral part of the community– a true testament to locals supporting locals.”

Insider and Ex-Councilor Candidates Criticize Top Heavy Council DOMINIC MOBBS Harry Tenni is a bundle of energy and ideas.

A Council employee for the past 9 years, currently a Safety Advisor, he has taken leave of absence to contest Division 6 as an independent, self-funded candidate.

He told CCIN that, “As a child, my dad always said to me, ‘Harry if you believe something is wrong, you’re a smart lad, fix it and make it right.’ I have carried this motto all through my life and I know things aren’t fair or right in this current Council, so I have put my hand up to stand.”

Previously Tenni operated Tenni’s driving school for 28 years, employing

over 22 staff throughout FNQ. As for local community activity, Tenni has volunteered as a qualified counsellor, and provided Justice of the Peace services.

Harry feels so strongly that real reform is required at Council that he told CCIN, “I am willing to reduce my personal income to represent the community as a full-time elected councillor,” adding “I know that the top end management is heavy, and the actual workers on the ground struggle to deliver quality services to the community. I can provide real positive solutions.”

He told CCIN that his priorities would be to reform senior council management appointments

and cut excessive financial waste and operational procedures, employ more local residents, plus provide training and support to further the career development of dedicated Council staff. “We need to ensure frontline staffing levels permit a quality service delivery to our community,” he said to CCIN. Tenni concluded by saying, “I am not influenced by glossy reports and media statements relating to the current state of affairs of Council. I know what has to be done and with my operational knowledge and ability to negotiate, I can be part of the solution to reform this Council and reduce rates.”

Kylie Farinelli is outspoken on numerous top-

ics, and in particular, the performance of the current Council and Division 6 representative, Cr Heath, whom she alleges “puts the daily running of his business over the people he represents.”

Kylie was previously the councillor for Division 6 from 2012 but lost out when re-standing against Heath in 2016 by just 154 votes.

Like Tenni she is also running as an independent, self-funding candidate “because I love this region, have lived here all my life and know I can do better than what we’ve been subjected to for the past 4 years,” she told CCIN. Farinelli is from a family that has called Innisfail/ Mourilyan home for three

generations. She is a sugar cane farmer and home business owner. Her cooking skills recently featured on ‘Zumbo’s Just Desserts’ national TV programme.

Farinelli was an Innisfail Lioness for many years during which she held the position of president.

“The main issue facing the Cassowary Coast Region is that most residents feel hard done by. They pay high rates and receive very little by way of service with many still living by dirt roads,” she said, adding “Rates may not be able to be reduced but I do believe they can be put on hold given the utter waste of this current council with unnecessary spending on court cases and allowing employees carte blanche

with Council fuel cards.”

Farinelli hopes she is elected to a council, “with like-minded individual candidates who can think for themselves and are open to debate unlike the current council where the majority were elected as a team enabling them to dominate decision making.”

If the proposed quarry at Vassa Views meets all conditions and legal requirements then Farinelli said, “I have no problem with it. The Innisfail Master Plan is very ambitious, but being ambitious is what gets us somewhere in life.”

As for the performance of the current Council, Farinelli believes that their “lowest in 4 years” rate

rises have come at a cost to services. I believe they have made a mockery of our Council with their new organisational structure, which sees more people sitting in offices and less on the ground. They have also put this region into a state of disrepute with conflict of interest issues which have led to findings of misconduct by the Office of the Independent Assessor.”

She finished by saying to CCIN, “It is my opinion that the people that are singing the praises of this Council have likely gained something from this team being in power.”

berra last year to petition federal LNP Senators to support an inquiry into Queensland Labor’s overly restrictive reef laws.

We were thrilled with the response we got and the enthusiasm shown.

As a result of this lobbying, LNP Senators drew up a motion and successfully gained the support of senior government Senators and the crossbench Senators for it to be passed.

We think it’s important to note that One Nation supported the motion, which makes Mr Dametto’s criticism even more strange considering the close ties between the KAP and ON. Even if Mr Dametto thinks he is helping farmers with his statements, why would he use his public position to criticise rather than encourage it?

If he had any influence whatsoever, he would be taking real action to help farmers rather than throwing stones at those who are doing something.

This inquiry is farmers’ best chance to show why they shouldn’t bear the

brunt of blame for water quality in the GBR. It aims to investigate the evidence used against farmers and to see if it stacks up.

As a group of farmers - and a scientist - we are extremely happy that this inquiry is happening, and we would hope elected Members in farming seats felt the same.

We would like to thank LNP Senators Susan McDonald, James McGrath, Paul Scarr, Gerard Rennick, Matt Canavan and Amanda Stoker for their support in our fight for fairness for farmers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR VOTING DAY UPON US As voting day is almost upon us, it’s timely to reflect on the achievements of the CCRC which was made up of Unity Alliance members, Deputy Mayor Kimberley, Cr Raleigh, and Cr Nolan – the only councillor that had the people’s interests at heart and displayed a level of high moral regard.

That’s easy – they had no achievements that I am aware of except for programmes that were funded and initiated either by state or federal governments.

However, it’s also timely to reflect on the management of and I suppose the negatives the Kremastos-led council have achieved.

1. Scandal i.e., Tully Watergate 2. Legal costs $2m funded by ratepayers and ongoing 3. Jobs for the boys and sacking of 40 locals, displaced families 4. Conflicts of interest and non-disclosure of many unity team councillors 5. No transparency as

promised when elected 6. Lack of action on ratepayer advices (Dunk island campground ignored, and $120k spent on sand replenishment.

I advised council on this predicament six months before it happened. No action by Cr Kimberley before it was too late.)

7. Bitumen roads get re-layered every seven years, while dirt road grades go from two a year to one a year 8. Highest rates in North Qld. Have to pay their legal bills and topheavy senior admin wages 9. Knowingly hiring of senior staff who have outstanding warrants for arrest in overseas countries 10. Mayor Kremastos and Deputy Mayor Kimberley facing legal matters as they go to the polls and want your support I could go on, but it’s too depressing.

I ask myself how can so few manage to make such a huge mess in such a short space of time?

My final prediction for a result in this coming election is Mayor (first preference

votes) Nolan 53 percent Macdonald 40 percent Kremastos 7 percent New councillors will be Gabi Plumm Ross Sorbello Trudy Tschui Bonny Bauer or Dianne Mauloni George Andy Kylie Farinelli A big job of clean-up awaits you mayor and councillors elect, whoever you will be.

Good luck to all new candidates standing at this election.

We need a fresh start with Nolan at the helm, and to achieve this, we need to DRAIN the SWAMP of The Unity Alliance and Cr Kimberley.

Matt Dyason Innisfail PROACTIVE & SUPPORTIVE COUNCIL I would like to thank all of the CCRC councillors and relevant senior staff for working very proactively with all who are willing to work with them for the betterment of our region.

In my opinion, this has

been the most proactive and constructive council we have experienced in the 35 years we have lived here. They have worked tirelessly and constructively for our region.

Mayor John Kremastos is a gentleman who is very approachable and community minded. This community is indeed very fortunate to have him and his fellow councillors working very hard on our behalf. His and the current councillors ability to work very proactively with all individuals, groups or organisations for the benefit of the community is second to none.

There are numerous examples of the current council working proactively and constructively with all concerned for the betterment of our region.

One of the many examples is the Mission Beach Marine Facility that is now well underway.

This upcoming election is critical, the outcome of which will either keep the positive momentum continuing or stall our future yet again. We need a strong and pro-active

council to maintain the cycle created by the current council. Hence, in the coming election we need to keep as much of the current council as possible so that this positive momentum is not lost.

Thank you Mayor John Kremastos and all of the current councillors for a job very well done.

Richard M Giuliany Wongaling Beach REEF REGULATIONS We are writing in response to recent claims by Hinchinbrook MP, Nick Dametto regarding a Senate Inquiry into Queensland’s reef regulations.

Mr Dametto states that the inquiry is a political stunt designed to hurt farmers, but if he had done even a tiny bit of research, he would know that the inquiry was actually initiated by farmers.

We are appalled and shocked that an elected representative of a largely farming electorate could be so ignorant of the facts.

Queensland Chief Health Officer: Expect a Million to be Infected

by Coronavirus in Queensland SEAN DENT The number of infected patients in Queensland reached 68 by Monday afternoon, reflecting 22 new cases Sunday and Monday.

We’ve almost reached the stage where it’s pointless to look at the daily numbers. Queensland Chief Health Officer, Dr Jeannette Young said on Friday, based on modelling, “The best advice we have is that around 25 per cent of the Queensland population will get this disease in the next six months.”

She said most people will withstand the virus and may even be asymptomatic i.e., show no indications they are unwell.

To date in Australia, the five people who have died from COVID-19 range in age from 77-95. If someone is old or has a lung condition, they’re in the danger zone if they come into contact with a carrier.

At a press conference earlier last week, Dr Young said there are three groups of people who should be tested if they show symptoms. They include 1) about 2900 people who have been asked to go into home quarantine at the border; 2) anyone who was travelling anywhere in the world and returned to Australia recently and then developed symptoms within 14 days of returning; 3) anyone who’s been in contact with a known case. Call 13 HEALTH for assistance if you are unsure.

She said a huge proportion of the infected group will be asymptomatic, but they can still spread the virus. This is the most

understated fact at the moment, and it’s the reason why CDC this week recommended cancelling any public events that consist of 50 (fifty) people or more.

If we look at the modelling for other countries, what happened was a huge spike in confirmed cases in countries where testing is liberally available (which it is not in A u s tra lia ).

South Korea, for instance, where about 250,000 people have been tested, spiked at 909 new confirmed cases on February 29.

They implemented social restrictions, and on March 15, they recorded just 76 new confirmed infections, with the number getting lower each day.

Around the world, such social restrictions have benefited populations, creating a huge reduction in numbers of newly infected

PUBLIC AUCTION

people. Australia is now limiting gatherings to less than 500 people (not including schools), but many are saying this is not good enough.

The truth is a restriction of 500 people is likely just a first step. Politicians are

reluctant to upset voters until they have to. There is no doubt whatsoever that schools around the country will close, it’s just a matter of time. Dr Young said Sunday that they are waiting till there are a lot of cases before they think

about closing schools. Her reasoning is, if parents stay home with kids, we will lose healthcare staff.

Annastacia Palaszczuk, the Queensland Premier has adopted Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s directions to adopt social

distancing - including no handshaking, hugging or kissing in public. She also stated that anyone being ordered to self-isolate for reasons related to coronavirus should take it seriously as there will be random police checks. People

will be fined $13,000 if they don’t comply.

Because we have seen no drastic effects in our community to date, social distancing seems like overkill to many in our region. But with Dr Young predicting that one-quar-

ter of us will be infected by next September, such measures have to become part of our daily lives if we want to limit the deaths from COVID-19.

Minister for Health and Ambulance Services Steven Miles has called the virus serious. “We all have a role to play in protecting vulnerable people in our community.”

Andrew Miller, President & Federal Councillor of the Australian Medical Association, has called for a cancellation of crowds at events and to close the schools soon. “This is not a game.”

Professor Eddie Holmes, known for his work on the evolution and emer-

gence of infectious diseases, called on Australia to follow the advice of WHO and start aggressive measures against COVID-19, including cancelling major events.

Queensland Schools have not closed as of yet, but some school principals across the state have already cancelled out-ofschool activities, including school trips, and are reportedly preparing for the possibility of home education.

Dr Young stressed that Australia is not Italy, whose population is much more condensed compared to ours. Two weeks ago, Italy had 322 confirmed cases. One week ago, it had

2,502. Today it has 24,747.

The best advice I’ve seen is to use social distancing of 1.5 metres not as a precaution to avoid contacting the virus; rather, assume you have it and want to avoid spreading it further to your colleagues, friends, and loved ones whose defence systems may not be as strong as yours.

On a more positive note, I heard of an email someone received that said, “No sports on. Met a young lady on my couch.

Turns out she’s my wife.

Seems nice!”

Innisfail Philoptohos (Greek) Ladies Present $500 Donations to Innisfail and Tully Friends of the Hospital Foundation Branches MARIA GIRGENTI THE Innisfail Philoptohos Ladies recently gathered for a meeting where they presented a cheque for $500 to both Innisfail and Tully Friends of the Hospital Foundation branches which were part proceeds raised from their annual cent sale last year.

The cheque was accepted on behalf of the Innisfail branch by President Estelle Kopp and committee member Margaret Todd and by Pres-

ident Suzette Reis and Secretary Lissa La Spina on behalf of the Tully branch.

For the past seven years, the Greek Ladies have been donating to the Innisfail Friends of the Hospital Foundation as they feel it is such a worthy cause with the money being used to purchase vital equipment for the Innisfail Hospital which assists people in the local community.

Innisfail Friends of the Hospital Foundation President, Estelle Kopp

said she was extremely grateful to the Greek Ladies for their ongoing and generous support and presented them with a framed certificate of appreciation.

The Innisfail branch are currently running a raffle for a $200 gift voucher to spend at Mellick Centre and will hold their annual Cent Sale on May 16 at Innisfail State College.

For the first time, the Greek ladies also made a donation to the Tully branch as a number of

their members live in the southern part of Cassowary Coast region, so the money will benefit another hospital and assist more people.

Tully Friends of the Hospital Foundation which has been running since November 14, 2018 currently has 28 volunteers. They have held car washes, a ham wheel at Tully Christmas Street Party and raised funds at the Tully Tigers Rugby League Football Club - Allan Reis and Cain Banu Memorial home

game.

Funds raised from these events have been used to purchase a bladder scanner, and tonometer and pole which measures eye pressure, two chairs for Occupational Therapy and two chairs in a ward at Tully Hospital.

In November 2019, volunteers from Tully branch assisted at Colour Splash and Dash at Feluga State School and received part proceeds from the event $2,100 by the P&C Association

which was presented to Suzette Harney at Tully Hospital.

This year, the Tully foundation held a number of fundraiser events including car washes at the Tully Gumboot on May 2 and September 5 supported by Costa Bananas; Mother’s Day raffle; Allan Reis Memorial game - Tully Tigers on July 18, Father’s Day raffle; car cruise on November 7, as well as a cent sale and ham and roast wheel at Tully Christmas Street Party on December 17.

Reis said she was very appreciative to Greek ladies for their generosity, and the $500 donation will go towards the purchase of a Hamilton TI Ventilator valued at over $42,000 for Tully Hospital emergency department.

WITH Council now in caretaker mode and the elections looming the agenda for the 12 March 2020 Cassowary Coast Regional Council (CCRC) Committees meeting

Next week is the last week to have your say Advertisement

in Tully was fairly light.

It was not a surprise that it kicked off with a discussion, initiated by the Mayor, regarding the coronavirus situation.

The Disaster Management Group had recently met to address the likelihood that it was a matter of “when, not if, persons would be affected on the Cassowary Coast”, and possible impacts

on the forthcoming Feast of the Senses, plus the Innisfail and Tully Shows, even though these latter events are 4 months away.

The possibility of the final Council meeting on 26 March being held by way of teleconference was considered but rejected as the CEO indicated that this would not meet Council’s statutory obligation to ensure a public meeting.

Cr. Nolan raised the possibility of live-streaming Council meetings, an election policy of mayoral candidate Macdonald. It was revealed that Council IT staff have already investigated this and Council is almost in a position to begin to offer this to the public once cameras are installed in Council chambers. Cr. Kimberley suggested the next council should

also consider afternoon rather than morning meetings.

Council has been successful in obtaining a matching $50,000 grant from the State Government towards a feasibility study and concept design for the proposed Cardwell Mountain Bike Track.

The Director Planning and Regional Development indicated that four consultants had been ap-

proached for these reports and he hoped to obtain initial responses by the end of next week. Written support from the Girramay Native Title holders has now been received.

Development consultants, SMEC, have been appointed to deliver design and documentation for the Mission Beach Master Plan to assist grant opportunities

Don’t hope for a better choice

VOTE for one!

I know what has to be done to REFORM Council and stimulate our economy.

Currently employed for almost 9 years by Cassowary Coast Regional Council supporting the operational teams. I have integrity and will apply the principles of honesty, fairness and transparency. I will not operate my own business, so I can devote all my efforts full time to public service. I am asking for your support to represent Division 6 for the next 4 years, which is critical in achieving the expectations of all ratepayers and the community.

RURAL REPORT

Agriculture set to benefit from economic package

MINISTER for Agriculture, Drought and Emergency Management, David Littleproud says agricultural businesses will benefit from the Federal Government’s economic stimulus package.

Agriculture, fisheries and forestry will get a boost from a number of support measures in the package designed to support economic confidence, encourage investment and protect jobs, Minister Littleproud said. “$1 billion will be directed to a regional and community fund to support industries including agriculture impacted by coronavirus “This will help farmers

from fishing communities in Geraldton to dairy businesses of Bega.

“The instant write off threshold has been increased from $30,000 to $150,000 for businesses with an aggregated annual turnover of less than $500 million.

“There’s accelerated depreciation deductions to encourage investment for the next 15 months. Businesses with a turnover of less than $500 million will be able to deduct an additional 50 per cent from asset costs in the year they were bought.

“If you were thinking about whether to invest in your agricultural business here’s added incentive.

“For small businesses, the life blood of the community in regional and rural Australia, there’s a 50 per cent subsidy for apprentices.

“There’s a tax free cash boost of up to $25,000 for eligible businesses that take on a worker between 1st January and 30th June this year.

“And there will be another economic shot in the arm locally with the one off payment of $750 to pensioners and those on Newstart.

“Take advantage of these measures to grow your business, to increase production and keep our regional and rural communities strong.”

Qlders’ power, water businesses step up

QUEENSLAND’S publicly-owned power and water businesses have extensive measures in place to ensure ongoing power and bulk water supplies during the coronavirus emergency.

Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Minister Dr Anthony Lynham told Parliament today that energy and water government businesses were distancing key personnel and had stockpiled critical supplies, including coal and gas for power stations.

“Just as state-owned power and water assets are ready for Queensland’s severe weather events, they are ready for

the inevitable impact of coronavirus,” he said.

I can assure Queenslanders that should the virus spread, and if staff are taken offline, well-rehearsed contingency procedures will ensure ongoing essential services.

Dr Lynham detailed the measures, including: • stockpiling coal and gas.

• critical staff, such as control room crew, increasingly being segregated to reduce cross-infection • possible sharing of critical staff • a s s e s s i n g scheduled outages for possible rescheduling.

“Energex has already

split its around-the-clock control room crews to work from four venues rather than one,” he said.

“Energex and Ergon have around 100 mobile diesel generators strategically located around the state on standby ready to be transported wherever needed.

“Seqwater and Sunwater have emergency arrangements with local governments and urban water utilities to coordinate their response to any disruption to water supply.

“Alternative power arrangements are in place for water treatment plants, and to transport water crews quickly around the state.”

AROUND THE SCHOOLS

Tully State High School Kids Raise Over $5000 for Leukemia SEAN DENT The words, we’ve heard them so many times in this community, they just trip off the tongue. “Such and such raised money for…” We hear them, we tell them well done, and probably don’t think of it again.

So, let me cleanse your palate and rephrase what several high school kids – some as young as Year 7 – are doing, and have been doing for weeks. They are saving people’s lives.

We at CCIN first got wind of this late last week when one of our clients mentioned that he and his wife would be shaving their heads as part of World’s Greatest Shave (the Leukaemia Foundation).

They are Dan and Kate

Pacey of Island Coast Ford, Mitsubishi. Their son, Jayden had told them he was going to shave his head to raise money for Leukemia. His mum Kate offered to join him if he passed $1000. His dad Dan offered to jump in if he raised $2000. Jayden passed both targets (as well as his original goal of $560), and we received word that Jayden would do the deed at Tully State High School last Friday.

We called the Principal, Richard Graham to see if we could attend the event, and he told us yes, and that there would actually be four kids taking part.

At 10:40am, I arrived at the MPC to see a casual touch footy game with 20 or so kids. Then slowly the gym started to fill: 50,

100, 200 kids and some teachers, teachers’ aides, and a hairdresser. The numbers kept growing until maybe 500 people were there. We were all witnesses to excitement, support and a bit of apprehension. I found myself in the middle of something special: everyone had a phone camera out, filming or snapping pictures.

The four main subjects were Jayden, Erica Lauridsen, Kane Robson, and Kate Noack. Kate was not going for the full shave, but the 35-40cm of red locks she was having shorn were going to charity. Kane looked like he didn’t really want the attention, just to do his part.

Jayden’s parents were on hand to support him, and they looked very proud.

Erica, had some beautiful long thick hair that Chloe Johns from Hair on Butler sectioned before cutting so they could sell them for wigs. Erica then went for the full shave. Her mum was there and proud of her little girl, saying, “She’s braver than me. I reminded her that she has her school formal coming up in September, and her hair won’t all grow back by then. She told me, there are people with leukemia going through chemo, and they don’t have hair.” Erica alone raised $1600 since she started last February.

The support they got from their friends was simply overwhelming.

Those friends joined them on the stage to help with the cutting and encourage them

Good Counsel College Leadership Team Inducted at Opening Mass MARIA GIRGENTI GOOD Counsel College recently celebrated their opening Mass at Mother of Good Counsel Catholic Church where the captains, vice and sports house captains along with the student representative council were inducted.

The Mass was celebrated

by Fr Kerry Crowley, and a special welcome was made to students, staff, parents and members of the Marist family of the College by Principal Cathy Barrett.

College captains Jessica Ghietti and Ryan Snell and vice captains - Caitlin Spinella and Molly Stager were presented to the

Flying Fish Point State School Power on in 2020 MARIA GIRGENTI FLYING Fish Point State School started the year on a positive note with 39 students, including four Preps, and all classes have settled in well to school routines.

The school community welcomed new Principal Melissa Wieland, who was Head of Department Juniors (Years 7 - 10) at Innisfail State College for three years and previously was Principal at Georgetown State School for 15 years.

New Year-4/5/6 teacher, Karen Gangemi has

been transferred from Tully State School, and Learning Support teacher, Shikirri Mansfield has returned from leave and will be working at the school one day per week on Wednesdays.

New Physical Education teacher, Liana Windeknecht is at the school every Friday and will work with students on ball skills, as well as cross country and athletics training.

Student captains and leaders were recently presented with their badges at a special assembly and also participated in GRIP

leadership workshop in Cairns with Year 6s from Canecutter cluster schools.

“Our focus in the classroom is on improving explicit writing by going back to basics with a strong phonics, reading and spelling program which is well supported by our dedicated teacher aides.

“We are striving to improve our spelling and writing targets by implementing strategies such as daily writing, creation of a whole school writing plan, re-introduction of Spelling Mastery for

Page 20 Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, March 19, 2020

the whole school, as well as explicitly teaching the spelling rules and patterns,” said Wieland.

Flying Fish Point, a Reef Guardian School, is traditional and has a healthy respect for the environment with a good recycling program in place, and students and staff will take part in Clean Up Australia Day on April 1.

Students are also participating in Healthy Eats program, an initiative of Life Education in partnership with North Queensland Primary Health Network which focuses

and tell them how great they looked.

Then something else happened. Dan and Kate Pacey, who had been talking about doing the big shave on the weekend sometime, they stepped up, they sat down, they took the dive and we all watched as they got shaved to the bone. Then another student, Jamie Fredriksson said, “Why not!” She took a chair and lost the lot.

Last week we got news that the Lionesses are closing shop. We also got news that the Christmas street party is going to need some fundraising done to keep it on the street. No doubt with the Coronavirus taking hold in Queensland, we’re going to need to raise a lot of money over the next year.

The service clubs have been amazing for so many years at filling this void, but lately they have been calling for younger people to step up and join the Lions and Rotary clubs. For understandable reasons, this hasn’t happened.

This past few weeks, something else happened.

The Student Leadership Team (SLT) at Tully State High School stepped up and raised $5,641 (so far).

The big takeaway from all this is that people in this town still care. They may be doing it differently than before, but they’re still doing it. Look for more from this remarkable group of young people in the coming months and years. They made a decision last week: their identity is not so much about their beautiful hair.

It’s about what kindness they can offer their community.

$19,000 raised at Innisfail Leprechans’ Jersey Auction and Season Launch MARIA GIRGENTI INNISFAIL Leprechauns recently held their annual season launch and jersey auction at the club, where interested parties bid for 17 jersey numbers in all four grades with the successful bidder winning the right to exclusive privileges, as well as having their business name endorsed at all home games throughout the season.

This season is shaping up to be an exciting one for Innisfail with the new Open Women’s tackle competition, and with A Grade coach Leon Hallie also taking on a junior development role with the club.

Club President and MC, Nick Souvlis paid homage to the loyal support from all major and minor sponsors.

Licenced auctioneer John Moyle started the bidding and the most

sought-after jerseys which attracted the highest bids of $2,500 were fullback number one, which could be worn by four different players. The number three jersey received the second highest bid of $2,000, while number six went for $1,600 and number seven jersey went for $1,400.

A number of jerseys generated great interest and $19,000 was raised from the auction on the night which is their best ever result.

Hallie said A Grade training had been good with strong numbers and he had a pretty handy bunch of guys with a mix of experience and a lot of youth.

There are a number of new players which will bolster the playing ranks, including brothers Andrew and Robbie Garrett, Cameron Mooka, Daniel Mooka, Clifford Ambrum, as well as Elias

Tuitama, Tomasi Skelton and Taniela Ta’ofu’ou from New Zealand.

Hallie said he is enjoying his junior development role attending schools, with 16 now on board and is working with some 550 kids going back to grassroots rugby league and teaching them basic skills.

Major sponsors of the Under 18’s for the fourth year are Lance and Diane Law from Innisfail Carrying Company, Ron & Dan’s Butchery who have sponsored the club for 25 years will continue with Reserve Grade side, while A Grade major sponsor is Chemist Warehouse.

Former Leps player Ryan Stepanoff will coach Under 18s for the second year, Ken Laza returns for his fourth year as Reserve Grade coach, while Leon Hallie returns for his fourth year as A Grade coach.

Innisfail Thunder Ladies Secure Top Spot and T20 Cricket Far North Grand Final Berth INNISFAIL 1/141 (15) (Alana Romano 62, Abby Toshack 67no) defeated Norths 5/77 (15) (Amy Hunter 2/8, Robyn Fascetti 1/12, Alana Romano 1/13)

The Innisfail Thunder Ladies have secured top spot and a Cricket Far North T20 grand final berth after recently defeating fellow competition heavyweights, Norths at Griffiths Park.

In a rain reduced match, Innisfail batted first and flew out of the blocks with a 114-run opening stand between young guns, Abby Toshack and Alana Romano. Romano cleared the rope three times on

her way to her 62 off just 37 balls, while Toshack scored just as freely and remained undefeated at the end of the allotted 15 overs, with 67 off 45 balls.

Norths had a big chase on their hands with some

clean ball strikers in their ranks. However, the opening bowling combination of Amy Hunter and Robyn Fascetti tightened the screws and Norths could never get going in the chase. Abby Toshack

finished off a great day of cricket, snaring two catches.

The Ladies are now guaranteed a spot in the grand final, to be played at 2.00pm on March 28 at Endeavour Park, Cairns.

It is hoped as many fans as possible will travel to Cairns to support the local ladies as they chase the first Innisfail Thunder silverware since the 2nd Grade Men’s Premiership in the 2016/17 season.

Tigers Match Stopped After Brawl With Score 4-6 SEAN DENT AS Coach Paul Ketchell followed his players onto the pitch, he remarked, “This one will be a test.” They were lining up against Herbert River in the second trial of the season after coming off a 44-10 victory. They’d just watched the women’s team coast to a 36-6 win, followed by the Reserve Graders running out the clock on a 44-0 victory.

Like the previous week, the Tigers conceded the early ground to Herbert River, essentially spending the first six minutes in their own half before conceding the first try of the game, which was converted for a 0-6 deficit.

The Tigers, seemingly irked by the ground they’d been conceding, ventured into the opposition half through sheer force of will.

They still weren’t stringing any significant number of passes together and had trouble breaking tackles, but they fought for inch-

es at a time, wearing the opposing defence down, kicked well, tackled well and established their place across the halfway line.

As fatigue set in for the Herbert River team, it set the Tigers up for some good moves. At the 22-minute mark, they got their first big break, driving down the middle, out to the left flank where a nice kick along the ground opened a door, but the move was stopped as they approached the try line.

Shane Cliff showed strength and some good feet to establish some decent attacks, but Herbert River was not allowing anything easy and drove the Tigers back. Most everything was happening down the left flank for the Tigers and after a lot of pressure, they caused a knock on in the corner.

Phil Nona, fed the scrum, the ball found its way back into his hands in a good position, and he jigged his way over the line standing up.

He missed the conversion, but the score was 4-6.

The rest of the half consisted of exchanges back and for the between the two teams, with both playing well. Both defences were especially effective near the goal lines. One or two decisive passes could have swung the momentum either way.

Toward the end of the first half, the first aid officer for Herbert River walked past the Tigers’ coaching staff, complaining about a rough tackle.

I won’t repeat the Tigers’ response, but it was along the lines of, “Mate, it’s not dancing school.” The Tigers clearly want any visitors to the Showgrounds this year to know they were in a game.

Ketchell seemed calm at halftime, giving clear instructions of what he wanted in the second half.

“Complete the sets, get a result out of it, go to our core spots, and get a shape.

Get aggressive and make them run to their corners.

Don’t let them just walk back.”

The second half was more of the same, with both teams fighting hard and giving up nothing for free. The Tigers’ passing could still do with some work, but it’s looking good considering it’s early in the season. The movement, though, is looking ready and the tackling could not be faulted. Both teams had opportunities near the respective lines that could have panned out, but each defence was like a wall at the line.

Then the decisive moment came with 25:00 left in the game. The Tigers made a big move to get into the left corner, but a Herbert River player came away with the ball. One of the Tigers players ran hard to stop him, but his tackle was high, calling for a whistle. Several Herbert River players ran to the defence of their teammate.

This caused the Tigers to join the fray, and punches were thrown.

The officials did a good job of separating them, but ultimately felt they had lost control of the game and called a halt to proceedings within seconds.

It’s indicative that no one on the Tigers side wanted the game to end.

They had business to finish. President of the club, Anthony Emmi, said the

ref should have sent players off and continued the game. Most people said they had never seen a match stopped like that before. One of the Tigers coaches stated emphatically, “Unfit, that ref!”

After the game, in what is passing for the locker room until the new grandstand is ready, Ketchell

firmly told the players that they have to be better than that. There’s no shortage of motivation on the players side, that much was clear, especially with the way Steven Barret has the reserves playing and ready to step up to the A grade

Tigers News with Shane Muriata When the referee finally called time off the A grade match between the Tigers and the Ingham based club Herbert River, who would’ve thought that this would start a chain of events that has seen the proud Tully club dragged through mud like no other time. The match was played at a very fast paced, and a very physical one at that, with both sides trying to gain the upper hand. Then, all of a sudden, things got as ugly as my hangover face last Sunday and Paul Gallen.

Punches were thrown, borderline name calling got a mention, and then

things really blew up.

Look, I am not going to get into a slanging match with the Herbert River football club, because quite simply I believe that we still need them in our rugby league future.

I don’t know Joe Pennisi personally, but his name gets a mention in League circles as a highly-regarded official on planet Rugby League. So, I have no reason to bring him down, but his description and comment about how our clubs ‘culture needs changing’, well, I think we didn’t deserve that. We are guilty of not playing in a manner that you may

have expected, but our brand of footy is tough, brutal and may need some work, that’s it – not the branding and unnecessary comments he gave us. As for a trainer physically involving himself in the tussle, well, even we don’t stand for that, and he will be dealt with by the proper authority.

So where does the blame lie? Well, as a club, we will take some of it, regardless if we didn’t think their club was also out of line with some of the dubious names that were thrown at our players during the game. If I was to point the finger, then the referee failed to even be a standard A Grade umpire to even control the game.

He struggled to keep up with the game both mentally and physically. But blaming everyone isn’t our style, even though we have been thrown under the bus by the press and

everyone else.

I have nothing but respect for guys like Mitch Seri, who have had a long and proud association with the game both south and north of the Cardwell Jetty. If the Crushers feel that not playing in Tully anymore is the way to fix this, then we will respectfully accept your opinion. To Mitch, your players and supporters, I apologise on behalf of our club, because we have always believed that your team usually sets the tone for our season to be a success or a lemon. We hope to continue our relationship for the sake of the great Martha Wilkie, whose legacy I believe deserves to go on as the game’s MVP medal is named in her honour. Footy is sometimes the only thing we have, regardless of what background you are and what jersey you have on, so we won’t let this hurt us even

if everyone else has tried to. Hopefully common sense prevails.

Ok, so now onto the actual footy that was played.

First off the course was the women’s rugby league match, which had all the crowd into a frenzy when some highly talented players showed the skills of bona fide footy players.

Tully ended up finishing the game on top, but it was another good experience for both sides. Head Women’s Coach, Tongy was very impressed, but conceded there was little more to be done. “We handled the ball a little sloppy in the first half, but the second was something to be proud of. Couple of niggling injuries we need to overcome, then we should be right for our first match.” Reserve Grade coach Steven Barrett was equally impressed, but said they could improve. “44-0 is a good

indication, but it will be hard come the first game against Sothern Suburbs,” Barrett beamed. The only downer about the game was the concerning injuries of some key players “We suffered some bad injuries, so hopefully the week off will get us fresh and ready.”

So I will not let this opportunity slip by without letting all the Cowboys supporters know that I was at the game in Townsville last weekend for the unveiling the new stadium, and what a night it was.

The brand new facility was beautiful, the standard of footy was exceptional and the score line was everything I hoped for: Brisbane won, and the Cowboys lost. I must say for the first time in a long time, the Cowboys may need to look for another coach because Paul Green couldn’t organise self-raising flour in a bak-

ery at the moment. He drops Cliffo, then their attack is literally crap. Morgan threw the ball over the sideline twice, Drinkwater is fast, and that’s it, and Fifita, well, he made them look like an under 8s side wearing gumboots.

Hopefully in the coming weeks with the Coronavirus around, we still get to have an NRL season of sorts. But, by the sounds of it, this conspiracy that the Tigers are a bunch of bullies sounds silly as C3PO, BB8 and R2D2 put together with a couple of our corrupted local councillors running for office in this season’s election.

Get ready people, this circus will reveal some extra clowns, superheroes and more headlines than headlice. So, grab your tin foil hats, doom days preppers suitcase and “Turn the radio up, for the sweet sound, hold me close till I let you go…………”

GONE FISHING REPORT Despite the fact that opportunities have been scarce several boats have managed to travel out to the main reefs for a fish.

Reports have come in of good numbers of Coral Trout and Spangled emperor along with reasonable numbers of Spanish Mackerel.

The deep-water shale patches and wrecks have also been fishing well for the few that managed to get out and have a fish.

There has been plenty of Nannygai being caught along with the odd Cobia.

The various shipping channel shoals and wonky holes have also been fishing well, with good numbers of mostly undersize and just legal Nannygai.

I hope those that are in

charge of fisheries know what they are doing it seems crazy to me to be returning these undersize fish and training sharks to hang around the boats for a easy meal. How many survive being released? I would like the size limit to be reduced to 37cm, even if it meant a reduction in take home numbers. It seems to me that the total allowable catch numbers being sent into fisheries from both the amateur and commercial industries are flawed because they are not taking into account the huge percentages of hooked fish that are taken by sharks.

The local islands have been fishing reasonably well for Island Trout and Grass Sweet Lip. However, the large schools of Tuna, Trevally and Queen Fish have not turned up in massive schools as yet.

This will be a result of the failed wet season so hopefully things will improve

after the recent rain, we can only wait and see.

Both the islands and the Hinchinbrook area has fished reasonably well for Fingermark, with some lovely catches being reported. Good numbers of Grunter have also been caught both in Hinchinbrook`s Missionary bay and sections of the Hinchinbrook channel.

The heavy rain the Cassowary Coast experienced last week affected the quality of fishing in the local estuaries. However, the boats that travelled down to Cardwell and fished the sheltered waters of the Hinchinbrook channel and Missionary bay mostly found great fishing.

A friend of mine managed some nice Fingermark and then trolled up three Barra over the metre mark, all released. Derek, my manager managed several Mangrove jacks and some nice Barra by fishing the channel. The trick is to find some reasonable water quality and bait.

The Threadfin salmon are still being caught around the northern end of the Hinchinbrook channel. These have mostly not been huge fish with the majority being in the 60 to 80cm mark. Don`t forget that a threadfin needs to be a minimum of 60cm and have a bag limit of five.

The headwaters of the coastal creeks such as the Tully, Murray and Liverpool have been in flood, and this has affected the fishing. There have been some run-off fishing for Barra and Tarpon around the mouth of the feeder creeks and drains in the middle and lower freshwater sections.

The flood waters should be dropping by this coming weekend.

However, we are starting to see bigger tides which will also affect fishing for Barra and Mangrove Jacks in the river estuaries. The flats and sheltered areas of the Hinchinbrook region would be my go-to; it is always possible to find

cleaner water and opportunities.

These tides are also ideal for fishing for grunter, and either side of the early morning high tide will be ideal. You can then go and chase a Barra or Jack on the bottom half of the tide. You will have to make allowances for the mid-afternoon low tide at Port Hinchinbrook marina it’s not extra low, but you won`t get out at the bottom of the tide.

At this early stage of the week the weather sites are predicting strong winds for this weekend, dropping a little on Sunday. There is also some rain forecast but not enough to keep me off the water. See you down at the Hinchy and don`t forget the crab pots; the muddies are sure to be running.

Kyle was crowned the Youth Boys 16-17 years Under 65.8kg featherweight champion after defeating Liam Forrest from

Australia in the final with a reverse Triangle.

Brodie aged only 14, took out the Youth Boys 16-17 years Under 70.3kg lightweight championship after defeating Nikita Laptsevich from Belarus with an Arm bar from the back.
