restaurant/café and bar.

The North West Coast’s newest café, restaurant and bar is located on the ground floor in the building next to the surf club and brings new levels of excellence to Devonport’s dining scene.

“The new complex is absolutely brilliant and has something for everyone. The restaurant/café and bar offers people the chance to come in and have a drink in absolutely amazing surrounds and try out some of our winter warmer meals like slow braised dishes through to cheese platters and such.”

“We are absolutely thrilled to be here and operating,” Mr. Dicker said.

“The north-west is the Mecca for produce in Tasmania and our menu will reflect that with simplicity and a relaxed feel.”

Drift has two sections with its Burger Bar and the

“What better way to relax than to call in for a bite or a meal and a drink whilst watching the water,” Mr. Dicker said.

Drift Opening Hours Burger Bar & Cafe Open 7 days, 8am-8pm Restaurant Wed to Sun, 11am till late Phone: (03) 6424 4695

The Burger Bar is open seven days a week from eight am to eight pm and the restaurant/café and bar is open Wednesday to Sunday from 11am till late.

New Devonport Surf Club Devonport Surf Club president Michael Stolp says the new surf club at the iconic Mersey Bluff is nothing short of superb and has created enormous interest which will result in a safer area for all concerned.

Mr. Stolp added that the new club’s prominent beachfront presence had also caused a huge groundswell of enquiries from people of all ages wanting to join.

“We have had a lot of interest shown from people wanting to become either social and/or active members which in turn will eventually bring more lifesavers onto the beach,” he said.

“This building makes us the luckiest club in the state as opposed to what we previously had and we are most grateful for what has happened. The new club now puts us in a position to provide even better patrols and make the beaches even safer.”

With the downstairs section already proving itself invaluable by providing quick access to the beach in rescues, Mr. Stolp said the upstairs social rooms would give the club social facilities second to none.

“When people go up there they are impressed and why not, it is simply superb,” he said.

Ted Van Overmeeren

Maidstone Park

Giving to Our Community Evergreen Maidstone Park Management Controlling Authority (MPMCA) President Ted Van Overmeeren has a life philosophy that says, “It’s a waste of time if you are not involved.”

Now 54 years on, Ted certainly has followed suit having served on committees of a multitude of organisations in and around the Spreyton district.

And “being involved” is exactly what Ted has done every day since he and wife June moved to Devonport in 1957.

“I am the president of the MPMCA after joining in 1968, and have been involved with the Spreyton footy club in just about every capacity from player through to president since I got here,” he said.

He fondly remembers being made welcome by the Girdlestone, Squibb, Laycock, Foster and Mantach families and thought what fantastic people they were.

“I love my involvement and have marvelous people to work with and am a believer that we must leave things in good shape for the young ones coming through.”

“They were all involved in various things and I thought I would do the same if I got the chance,” he said.

Ted is also the president of the Devonport Golf Club Veterans and is a North West Football Association life member and delegate.

The house was built by the family in 1916, where Joseph lived with his wife Dame Enid Lyons and their 12 children. Except for a period of five years, it remained their home for the rest of their lives.

Devonport City Council has worked in partnership with the National Trust (Tasmania) and the Lyons family over the years to preserve and promote Home Hill.

The rich collection of personal material provides an unexpected insight into Australian political life and international relations during the momentous events of the mid twentieth century.

Ann Teasdale, Property Manager at Home Hill, said the partnership between Council and the National Trust has been a huge success and having Council support is of great benefit to the management of Home Hill.

Julie Burgess The Julie Burgess is the last of the fishing ketches that were once common in the Bass Strait ports.

The Julie Burgess had been moored in the Mersey River for several years and required a replacement of much of the timber frame, decking and planks.

The restoration commenced in 2010 when Council purchased the ketch with funds from the Australian Government. A team of Council volunteers, labour hire and trainees worked on the vessel under the guidance of specialist shipwrights to restore the Julie Burgess to her former glory. The ketch will sail the waters of the Bass Straight again and remain part of Devonport’s rich maritime heritage.
