Ambulance appeals to organisations and public for $6000 than 120,000km on the clock and is showing signs of its age. "It's not dangerous, but there would not be too many quick trips to the Rockhampton Base Hospital left in it," Mr Reynolds said.

The need for a new ambulance first became apparent in January, 1982. A new vehicle appeal started in February, 1982, and, to date, slightly more than $4000 has been raised.

"That's why we only need $6000," Mr Reynolds said. "We are subsidised dollar-fordollar by the State Government and, with the $4000 already raised plus the $4000 subsidy, we have $8000 in kitty for the $20,000 vehicle."

Mr Reynolds said he hoped Coast service clubs and groups would support the new appeal. "The $4000 already raised came, in part, from many Coast service clubs and groups and individuals," he said.

YEPPOON and Emu Park District Ambulance needs $6000 to buy a new ambulance ... and it is calling on the Capricorn Coast to help it raise the money by June 30.

In what will be a short, concentrated appeal, the Coast will be asked to do everything it can to provide the ambulance protection this area needs.

Ambulance superintendent Geoff Reynolds said this week the Coast was long overdue for a new ambulance and it would cost $20,000.

"That's the total cost because we are buying the basic model. We are not trying to buy the biggest ... we are aiming at replacing an eight-year-old vehicle with a new one," he said.

The ambulance to be replaced has more

"Much of the total was given in 1982 but interest waned last year."

Rather than have another long, drawn out appeal, Mr Reynolds has fixed June 30 as the closing date. If the money is raised by then, the ambulance can be ordered this financial year and be in operation by September.

In an effort to involve the Coast in the appeal and to show its progress, Yeppoon signwriter Guy Day has made an "appeal thermometer" to show the rising total.

It has been marked off in $1000 amounts starting at $4000 (already raised) and ending with the closing date for the appeal, June 30, and the target of $10,000.

This will be erected in front of the Ambulance Centre in James Street and the amount raised each week will be painted in.

Mr Reynolds said the group or individual raising the most money each week would be

asked to paint in the new weekly total.

The Capricorn Coast Mirror will photograph each "painting-in" ceremony and will acknowledge all donations to the appeal.

Mr Reynolds said everyone would be encouraged to help fund the new ambulance.

"I am hoping each class in all the Coast schools will take up a collection or organise a fund-raising event to help us buy a new ambulance," he said.

"New donor boxes have been left at all Coast hotels and we hope the hotels will get a competitive spirit going to see which hotel can provide the most each week.

"Whatever happens, the appeal closes on June 30," Mr Reynolds said.

All donations over $2 are tax deductable.

Donation may be posted to the Ambulance Centre, P.O. Box 1, Yeppoon, 4703, or taken to the centre in James Street

AN $8.5 million shopping complex, which will include a huge supermarket/variety store, 20 speciality shops and seven professional offices, will be serving the Capricorn Coast by Christmas next year, one of the developers said this week.

Doug Cuddy, of Cuddy and Bretz Pty Ltd, . said the shopping complex would be built at the "gateway to the Coast", the junction of the old Rockhampton-to-Yeppoon Road and the new road to Yeppoon, now under construction.

The land is now owned by Fred Lawn. 'In an application for rezoning to Livingstone Shire Council, Mr Lawn said the land was now used for grazing purposes.

Mr Cuddy said the shopping centre would have one major tenant; a supermarket-variety store. When pressed about whether a tenant had signed to operate from the complex, he said negotiations were under way.

He did not expect any problems in finding tenants for the 2U specialty stores ... 1 could sign up everybody in a fortnight," he said.

The idea for a shopping centre of this size has been part of Cuddy and Bretz Pty Ltd planning for "two or three years" . Mr Cuddy said the centre would be the "best thing that has happened to the Coast".

"It will mean the 50 to 60 per cent of Coast residents who now shop in Rockhampton will keep their money in their own area," he said.

"This complex will provide jobs for 100 people ... Coast people."

The major tenant would be a big enough drawcard to bring people to the Coast ... particularly people from the mining centres to the West.

"The mining community comes to the Coast on weekends to stay in their holiday homes but they shop in Rockhampton before

coming here," Mr Cuddy said. "The major tenant will be offering the prices they are looking for and they'll by-pass Rockhampton in favour of the Coast."

Mr Cuddy said he also expected Rockhampton people would shop at the centre on a regular basis. "We've got all-day trading here on Saturdays and that will be the incentive," he said.

"It will mean the Rockhampton family man won't have to rush his shopping on Saturday morning. He can combine shopping with a trip to the beach, and everyone on the Coast will benefit."

Mr Cuddy said the complex was not being developed to "crucify James Street". "I'm involved in business on the Coast and have no intentions of getting out," he said. "This complex will provide more business for everyone."

MRD outlines proposal for 4-lane highway THE Main Roads Department last week outlined a preliminary proposal of a four lane highway north from Yeppoon.

The proposal, presented before council on Thursday, was from Normanby Street north, along the Yeppoon-Byfield Road.

MRD district engineer Kevin Kerr said it had not yet been determined whether the highway would be built.

Although a design had been drawn up, he expected some changes would be made before any final design was determined.

Mr Kerr, outside council, said the extent of the road had not been determined, but it would be likely to extend only as far as the Iwasaki Resort at the northern-most point.

Mr Kerr said even without traffic to the Iwasaki Resort, congestion along the road would be expected in a few years if the highway was not built.

He said traffic counts indicated 4,200 vehicles travel between Yeppoon and Kerr Street per day.

By 1990 traffic would increase to between 6500 and 9000 vehicles a day, thus increasing the need for the road extensions.

Mr Kerr said under the present plan the surf lifesaving building would not be affected.

He said The Bluff would have to be cut into for the north-bound lanes. Beachside Caravan park may also be affected.

Mr Kerr said he was not proposing the highway would be a limited access road. he said there would be breaks in the median at Ocean Circle, the caravan park, the second shop along the route and Kerr Street under the present proposal which only extends to Kerr Street.

Mr Kerr said with the volume of traffic that would use the road in the future it would be desirable to have the four-lane highway completed in the next six years.

When asked if the highway would go ahead if the Iwasaki Resort were not being built, Mr Kerr said he would expect, regardless of the resort, the "time must come when there's a demonstrated need for four lanes".

Disaster area proposal for Kinka erosion LIVINGSTONE Shire Council will approach the State Government for emergency funding for Kinka Beach.

The approach follows a report to council last week by shire chairman Cr Roy Wall in which he suggested Kinka Beach should be declared a disaster area.

Cr Wall received overwhelming support from council for his suggestion of approaching the State Government over the issue.

Cr Wall said in the report he had suggested that residents, council, Main Roads Department and the Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig, all aprroach the State Lindsay Hartwig, all approach the State Government to have Kinka Beach declared a disaster area.

He said this would obtain 100 per cent state funding for a Beach Protection Authority approved reclamation and protection project.

Also in the report, Cr Wall said Keppel Sands and Kinka Beach talks and inspections had been held with Mr Ford from Beach Protection Authority, councillors and local residents.

The report said Mr Hartwig and Main Roads Department representative Kevin Kerr were alsp present at the Kinka Beach inspection.

It said, regarding Keppel Sands, he had suggested to the Keppel Sands Advancement League that an application be made to council to allow them to spend collected money as they wish.

COASTAL COUNCIL COMMENT ❑ by Livingstone Shire Chairman, Cr Roy Wall

❑ ABOVE: John Richardson of BP Yeppoon watches one-man-band Richard Scholl, 13, of Nerimbera belt out a song in James Street on Easter Saturday.

One-man-band brightens up shopping day THE sound of music came to James Street on Easter Saturday when the Richardson Borthers of BP Yeppoon brought the Perez Kids and Richard Scholl to town "to liven up the place".

John Richardson said he thought it was a good idea to give Easter visitors something for nothing ... and Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Pat Andersen agrees.

In a letter published elsewhere in this issue, Mrs Andersen said it "refreshing and heartening to have Yeppoon township brightened up" by the music.

The Perez Kids were first to entertain and they were followed by Richard Scholl. They played in front of the old BP transport depot and many people stopped across the road to listen. music was unexpected a d The apparently enjoyed by passers by.

Erosion hits island dunes IT seems Kinka Beach and Keppel Sands are not the only areas in the Livingstone Shire suffering beach erosion.

In a report tabled before Livingstone Shire Council last week, shire engineer Tony Rowe said some of the dunes on Great Keppel Island were also facing the problem of erosion.

The report said the "existing erosion control fencing in the Spit area adjacent to the Wapparaburra Haven Kiosk and camping area has fallen into disrepair".

"Some erosion of the dunal area behind is occurring, particularly on the Spit itself, where no revegetation was carried out."

Livingstone Shire chairman Cr Roy Wall said he would look into the possibility of Commonwealth Employment Programme aid to recitify the problem.

East or West on road signs RESIDENTS living in Ivey Street, Cooee Bay will soon have the words "East" or "West" added to their street name.

Livingstone Shire Council voted last week to adopt a proposal to divide the street into "east', "west" categories because it is divided into two separate locations.

In a report by shire engineer Tony Rowe, council was told that confusion may arise with postal and other deliveries because the area to the west of the main road is further developed and as the mail service is extended.

To solve future problems of divided or separated roads which have the same name, council voted to have number put on new road signs.

BUDGET time draws near once again and beginning this week councillors will commence their annual budget inspections in each of the four divisions.

While considerable improvements have been done in the way of roadworks, streets and parks and gardens during the past 12 months much still remains to be done and serious consideration will be given to all areas of concern.

However there is only a certain amount of money which can be allocated to jobs, after which any additional work has to be thought of in the way of increased rates.

When setting the budget, councillors have to be realistic.

For instance in the last budget Town Streets-Operation/Maintenance spent $401,445.35 actual as against an estimate of $267,500 and yet in this year's budget the sum of $301,750 was estimated — $100,000 less than the previous year.

For the same work. Needless to say the $301,750 has already been overspent.

This fact will probably not worry the average ratepayer. His reaction could be: "None of it was spent in my area how about some improvements here!" The fact remains that more and more ratepayers are demanding a better standard of amenities. This being the case they must be prepared to pay more for those amenities because with the inflation rate the way it is council cannot do more work with the same money.

Which brings us to the point where organisations have been invited to discuss with councillors their views on what improvements should be done and where they should be done. I am not suggesting that council is going to attempt to please everyone. This could be a two-way argument. Maybe councillors can explain a few of their problems to you; and you may see that it is not simply a matter of bitumenising your street for say $30,000; because drainage costing $50,000 has to be done first.

All the easily developed areas on the Coast and those in close proximity to services have been developed and now developers are moving further from services and into higher areas creating stormwater drainage problems in some cases and water and sewerage headworks problems in others. The stormwater drainage problems are very well known to ratepayers in a number of instances and they are very expensive to rectify. Council will have to give more consideration to this problem in the future.

The actual cost of provision of water to a sub-division (exclusive of i4ernal reticulation costs) in,' for instance, th€ Yeppoon-Cooee Bay area is in excess of $22,000 per hectare or $2,200 per allotment. Council's charge for water headworks at the time of re-zoning land from Rural to Residential A is $6,250 per hectare or approximately $625 per lot. The difference in costs of $1575 per lot is at present being borne by ratepayers within the water area.

Similarly the current contribution for sewerage headworks is $2900 per hectare.

Again there is a shortfall which is met by the ratepayer. Therefore in any future augmentation schemes either the rates contribution will have to increase to cover this amount or headworks contributions should be increased. The State Government is at present looking at legislation to cover headworks charges.

Be reassured that councillors give serious consideration to every dollar when setting the budget and make every effort to see that it is spent in the manner provided for.

Anzac Day Essay prizewinners WINNERS of the Yeppoon RSL-Capricorn Coast Mirror Anzac Day Essay Competition are Daniel Dalglish and Michelle Moore.

They each win $25 cash which will be presented to them next week. Michelle Moore of Yeppoon High won the Secondary Schools' section and Daniel Dalglish of

Yeppoon State won the Primary Schools' section.

The winners were determined by an RSL committee which extended congratulations to the winners and thanked Ravi Setu for his effort. It has been decided to award a $10 prize to Ravi Setu for his essay. Following are the two winning essays.

The question high school children ask...

THEY say 'Lest We Forget' ... Forget What! That is the question asked by the children of my age.

Anzac Day. To most, Anzac Day is remembered because it is a holiday, not because it is a day we remember all the Young and Old people who went to fight in various Wars to protect our Country and our Way of Life.

We cannot imagine what it would be like tc not be able to come home to a nice clear house, or not to be able to turn the telly or. and watch Sons and Daughters or Metal Mickey. Not to have power at our fingertips. in fact we all whinge if the electricity goes oft for even an hour. We would miss our water supply plus many other things we take for granted. Perhaps the hardest thing to imagine would be to have to go without food, because all our shops have been either blown up or ransacked. But the worst thing of all would be our loved ones being taken away and never to be seen again. But this is what War is all about.

In our minds we think that War will NEVER come here. We will always be a safe and happy country. Other countries have not been as lucky as us, but our brave Men abd

Women have seen the terrible effects of There have been attacks on Australia,though; Darwin was bombed during the Second World War and many innocent people were killed; there were mini-subs in Sydney Harbour, they blew up a ferry which also had many men, women and children on it, a lot died.

Australian Men and Women have gone off to War on many occasions to help stop invading armies from taking over other countries, and many have not returned.

IP my life time I have always lived in a safe and secure country. War in Australia never crosses my mind. My life could be altogether different if this wonderful country had been successfully invaded.

War is horrible, and we must try no to let it happen again. We•must always remember the men, women and children who died or were injured in combat, and pray it never happens again. We must never, never forget why Anzac Day is a truly solemn occasion and when we hear the words 'Lest We Forget' that is the time for we young people to really remember those who fought to make our way of life such a happy one as we have today.

-- Michelle Moore, 13 years, Yeppoon High

To the last man and the last shilling...

IN 1914, .Germany declared war on England. Andrew Fisher, soon .to be Australia's Prime Minister, said: "England is our mother country. We're in this war to the last man and the last shilling." Throughout Australia men rushed to join the forces and by November 1914, 20,843 Australians together with almost 10,000 New Zealanders were ▪ packed in a fleet of ships in the harbour of Albany, Western Australia. They were known as the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZACS) and they were about to sail for Europe. Over one million men had already been killed or wounded in France by this time and the English generals were crying out for more men.

Russia was England's friend in the war and Winston Churchill believed that if England and Russia could join hands via the Dardanelles then Germany would be quickly defeated. War-ships tried to break through but failed so it was then decided to use troops.

The 30,000 Anzacs living in tents in Egypt were very near to the peninsula of Gallipoli. It was planned to use them as part of the attack on the Turks who were Germany's friends.

The British were to land at Cape Helles and this would be the main attack. The Anzacs would land 13 miles further up the western coast to draw off the Turkish troops and maybe, with bravery and luck, fight right across the peninsula to Maidos. Steam pinnaces towing four boats packed with men made for Anzac Cove at 4.30am.

It was planned that on August 6, 1915 four attacks would take place — one at Cape

Helles, one at Lone Pine, one on 'the Nek' and one at the Suvla Bay. At Lone Pine the Anzacs ran forward yelling and shouting but they found that the Turkish lines had been roofed over by heavy pine logs. Some men dropped their rifles to claw the logs away with their hands, others fired down through the gaps on the Turks below. Many ran to other trenches to get at the enemy. In the semidarkness Turks and Anzacs fought with bayonets and bare hands. 4,000 men were killed in the first three days. In December, 1915 the last Anzacs left Anzac Cove.

Some people say that Anzac is that point in our history in which Australia grew from youth to manhood. The landing at Anzac Cove has been celebrated every year since 1915, so that 1984 marks the 69th anniversary. There are others who say that Anzac was the bloodiest disaster. in all the history of bloody wars. Nothing was gained except that the Gallipoli Peninsula became one vast graveyard for the youth of Australia, New Zealand, Britain and Turkey. The Australians lost 7,817 dead and 19,511 wounded. The whole campaign cost the deaths of 33,532 men with 78,518 wounded and a further 7,869 missing. No one really knows how many Turks died but it is thought that their dead and wounded would be at least equal to those mentioned above.

Althought many people ignore what the Anzacs did for the freedom of our country, many people still can't forget about it.

Glare from fire wakes family 40km awa y.•.

TOM MALTBY started ringing for help when the fire in his Woodbury Road home was "half a room away" and by the time the phone was answered "there was burning stuff falling on me".

That's how Mr Maltby described the fire that razed his home in 20 minutes in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

In the blaze, which started possibly behind the refrigerator or the meter board, Mr Maltby lost priceless antiques, mementoes that can never be replaced and "quite a lot of cash".

Hero of the night turned out to be Snoopy, a toy foxy dog which "put up such a racket he woke me," Mr Maltby said.

Mr Maltby's father, Les Maltby, who lives 200 metres away, said the noise of the fire woke hi, "It went off like a clap of thunder," he said. "The flames were flaring outside all the windows."

Mr Les Maltby said a friend, Jim Stevens, who lives 40km away "as the crow flies", was also woken by the glare from the blaze. ' Tom Maltby said he lost two antique pitcher and basin sets ... one was at least 100years-old and the other more than 150 years.

Also destroyed in the blaze were oil paintings of family members and cash Mr Maltby .had stored in tins.

There was no time to save anything except two Suzuki four-wheel-drive vehicles parked near the house. Mr Maltby said he had been working on one recently and had just finished it. "I was in such a panic I drove it into an awning and dented it," he said.

Aside from his clothes and otherbousehold possessions, Mr Maltby said he most regretted the loss of the paintings and pitcher sets. "I'll never be able to replac them," he said.

He was full of praise for the Yeppoon fire brigade which was quickly on the scene ... but he said the whole house had gone in 20 minutes. He had lived there since 1953.

Q ABOVE: The Anzac Day march along James Street, Yeppoon, was an impressive sight. Perfect weather helped ... but so did the large crowd of young and old lining the length of the march.

There was a lot of applause for the Diggers and more for the children who marched behind the banners of their schools and organisations. The parade wheeled around the Cenotaph for the Anzac Day Service and wreath laying.

A luncheon was held later at the Railway Hotel.

TV journalist clears up part of the Zilzie Beach canoe mystery .1..

Mirror mail

RTQ-7 journalist John Ryan believes he has the answer to where the huge canoe found on Zilzie Beach came from ... but there's still a mystery about how it landed at Zilzie.

Nestor Svenson found the canoe earlier this month and it was featured on page one of the Capricorn Coast Mirror on April 14.

John Ryan, 49, says there is no doubt in his mind that the canoe was made in Irian Jaya, the Indonesian western half of the island of New Guinea.

Here, in his won words, is his story: I saw identical canoes in November 1961 when another Australian journalist (Roly Humphries, then ABC, now Education Department, Brisbane) and I were the first ashore in the hunt for Michael Rockefeller, 23, son of the Governor of New York State, the late Nelson Rockefeller.

Michael Rockefeller and Dutch anthropologist Dr Rene Wassink were on a double-hull native prahu trying to enter the Eilanden (River of Islands) River.

Michael was collecting for the New York Museum of Primitive Art, set up in 1960 with a grant from the. Rockefeller Foundation.

They were going up the Eilanden River for a traditional native Feast of the Dead ceremony, at which human skulls would have been available for barter for small steel axes, cigarettes and other 'civilised' trade goods.

But there's a regular (especially at full moon) 51/2-metre (18ft) tidal wall of water coming down that river ... and it washed the Rockefeller-Wassink canoe out into the Arafura Sea. That's why the hue and cry went up on November 18, 1961, and the search began for Michael Rockefeller.

He was the first heir to an unbelievable Rockefeller family fortune. He had to be found. Roly Humphries and I flew in by PBY Catalina flying boat from Port Moresby in what was then Australian New Guinea.

Then Governor Rockefeller and the American media arrived in a chartered Pan Am Boeing 707. They landed at the big wartime arifield on Biak Island, transferred down to Merauke (built during the war by the RAAF) in a DC3 ... and they joined the search too.

Michael was not found. The reason for his disappearance is another, fascinating story. I may tell it for Capricorn Coast Mirror readers some time.

Now, back to the Zilzie canoe Nestor Svenson found on the beach, where it came from ... and why.

I saw these canoes being made in the Rockefeller search area. Remember, during the 1961 search, it was still Netherlands (Dutch) New Guinea and President Sukarno was dropping his paratroops in and screaming for the United Nations to make Holland hand over the area to Indonesia.

When I was there, the main Dutch patrol post at the mouth of the Eilanden River was Agats. It is now called Amamapare.

It is the port for a huge copper and gold mine 2500ft up in the Carstenz Range.

Thanks for 'key' JUST a note to thank your paper, The Capricorn Coast Tourist Association and Peter and Yvonne Motton of the Bay Vacationer for the happy holiday we have enjoyed over the past two weeks.

Thanks to the Golden Key we visited many places in the area and were impressed by the high standard of the attractions and the obvious caring interest of the owners.

Thanks again to our helpful, courteous hosts of the Bay Vacationer and we certainly hope we can make a return visit.

— Stephenie and Len Broadbent, `Crawford', Wandoan.

Praise for band IT WAS refreshing and heartening to have the Yeppoon township brightened up on Saturday morning by the Perez Kids band.

After the initial shock wore off, people really enjoyed it. They stopped to watch and listen and when they moved off it was with a spring in their step.

This is the sort of promotion that a seaside place needs. If it became the norm instead of a once off occasion perhaps more people would come down to Yeppoon of a weekend and spend it in the town area.

We have a great park area in the centre of town just made for entertainment of this kind.

Remember the days of old when the bands played in the park on Sundays and the folk came from far and near to sit in the sun and listen.

Why not again?

Congratulations to the Richardson Brothers, the promoters of Saturday's effort.

I hope this is the start of a new image for Yeppoon.

— P Andersen, President of Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Jaya was called, in Dutch days, the Asmat coast ... a tribal name. It was also known by many as the Casuarina coast, because of the trees immediately behind the beachfront mangroves.

The unknown thousands of Asmat people — including headhunters — are among the world's most famous 'primitive' woodcarvers.

Their work is stylised in what the 'experts' see as a wood-culture untouched — even today — by outside influence.

Therefore, even to a casual visitor their work is instantly recognisable anywhere in the world.

The small carvings on Nestor Svenson's 10metre canoe convinced me immediately that the canoe was from Irian Jaya's Asmat Coast.

Even only 200 kilometres from the Asmat, across the border into modern-day Papua New Guinea, the carving style on canoes is dramatically different.

Anybody who's been to Irian Jaya and Papue New Guinea would recognise the dramatic difference in carving style.

The word `Amamapare' inside the hull confirms for me that the canoe came from traditional Irian Jaya wood-carvers at the mouth of the Eilanden River.

But the mystery is the date: 16 January 1984.

I have no idea how any piece of timber could float at least 2400 kilometres from the Eilanden to Zilzie in such a short time.

We've had several cyclones in that area.

They may have helped hurl the canoe southward, but I'm very doubtful.

Here's a possibility: A freighter taking supplies from Australia or elsewhere to Amamapare for the copper mine may have taken the canoe aboard at Amamapare some crew member wanting a superb canoe as a souvenir.

If that freighter was about to enter an Australian port (Port Alma, Gladstone?) and the crew realised the canoe would be subject to quarantine laws, it may then have been thrown overboard off the Capricorn Coast.

It's only a theory.

There is an identical Asmat canoe in the New York Museum of Primitive Art. The museum paid $5000 for it ... plus transport costs.

The Zilzie Asmat canoe is probably the only one in Australia.

(John Ryan is helping Mr Svenson write to Indonesian's Foreign Minister Dr Mohktar, to tell him where the canoe is — and to ask him if he can help find exactly where the canoe came from in Irian Jaya).

Yeppoon drive-in liquor barn recommended for approval YEPPOON may soon have a drive-in liquor barn. Livingstone Shire Council last week recommended for approval the construction of a barn at the Pacific Hotel on James and Queen Streets, Yeppoon.

In a written report tabled before council town planners James, Mack and Partners said the applicants propose to erect a large shed for the purposes of sale of liquor. It would have a gross floor area of 256 square metres and a height of 6.5 metres.

The report said a total of 58 car parking spaces were intended and vehicle access would be via Queen Street.

One objection to the proposed liquor outlet has been made, primarily on the grounds that it will be located in close proximity to a Catholic girls' school and a church.

The objection also said the barn "would create traffic problems within Queen Street as such a street will not be capable of handling the flow of traffic which may be generated".

Check on town hall power UP TO $10,000 may be spent on the Yeppoon Town Hall if a CEB inspection deems the current electrical facilities dangerous.

The inspection follows a request from the Yeppoon Choral Society that the stage lighting of the hall be overhauled prior to their production of "La Belle Helene" in late May. Council was told the current electrical facilities may be dangerous, with the smell of burning rubber causing concern.

Councillors agreed if the situation was dangerous, necessary upgrading would have to be carried out.

Building surveyor Gordon Handley told council the cost of upgrading the lighting had been estimated at $5570 with additional costs of $2000 to $3000 for a new switchboard and $1000 for a new main.

Shire chairman Cr Roy Wall said expenditure could not be called "emergency spending" until council was given verification from an electrician.

He said if the situation did not come into the "emergency" category the application for upgraded electrical facilities would go before council again.

However, if the facilities were considered dangerous, Cr Bowen told council that something should be done now instead of waiting until it's too late.

The Choral Society also requested that the grand piano and general piano be tuned. A council spokesman said that the tuning would be completed by the end of the month.

The letter of objection, also tabled before council (from Haradoon Pty Ltd), said: "In addition to these grounds for objection, we also believe that there is presently no need within the central business location or within Yeppoon district for this type of facility".

At last week's meeting, following considerable debate, council voted to accept a recommendation from the solicitors and recommend the liquor barn for approval subject to various conditions.

These -include contribution of (an estimated) $10,000 toward the upgrading of the Queen and Arthur Streets intersections and Queen and Mary Streets intersections.

This upgrading would help accommodate the increased traffic movements.

Other conditions in the recommendation to council include a contribution toward guard rails and the grassing of a median strip in front of the subject land to prevent vehicles crossing it.

General landscaping of the site should include, where practicable, retaining existing trees to the satisfaction of council.

The painting of the building should be done in approved colours to visually blend in with the area.

Other conditions include: 0 the provision of industrial-type crossing at the entrance and exit. o Provision of a concrete footpatlong the front.

O Relocation of sewer and collection and disposal of stormwater to an approved point.

O Work drawings in accordance with standard by-laws.

O Car parking in accordance with council approval and parking area to be kerbed, drained and bitumen sealed.

Capricorn Coast

The decision to hold the meeting follows three requests to council for refunds of rates.

Keppel Bay Shell Club, Capricorn Coast Society of Arts and the Rockhampton Kart Club, will be among those clubs assessed by the committee.

Cr Arthur Rackemann told council that 24 clubs in the Livingstone Shire already received rate remissions ranging from 25 to 100 per cent.

He said 11 organisation get 100 per cent rebate, eight receive 50 per cent and five get a 25 per cent remission.

Three of the organisation already receiving the full 100 per cent, remission are the show society, lifesavers and coast guard.

Councillors from the country, who may not be able to attend the meeting, will be able to nominate groups and organisations in their section which may require rate remissions.

Winding back clock 50 years at anniversary BILL AND VERA Farlow were due to wind back the clock 50 years last night (Friday) by exchanging their wedding vows again at their Golden Wedding Anniversary party at Kanangra Functions.

Mr and Mrs Farlow were married in St Joseph's Cathedral, Rockhampton, on May 2, 1934. William Hugh Farlow was born on July 15, 1909, at Longreach. He came to Yeppoon in 1919.

Veronica (Vera) Mary Farlow was born in Rockhampton on August 20, 1912. They have six children: Catherine (Betty) Bianchi of Rockhampton; Margaret Haase of Brisbane; Hugh Farlow (Yeppoon); Marie Kirkland (Bowen); Michael Farlow (Duaringa) and Helen Hack of Rockhampton.

They have 14 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.

Mr Farlow was part of the YeppoonEmu Park Ambulance Committee from the inaugural meeting on December 5, 1955, when the Coast group broke away from Rockhampton to form an independent body.

He was committee chairman in 1976 and served the group for more than 20 years.

Mrs Farlow was also an active member of the women's auxiliary and still helps parttime, when time permits.

Mr Farlow has helped the Bush Children's Home and is a life member of the Yeppoon Show Society.

Mrs Farlow has been vice-president and founding member of the Yeppoon Indoor Bowling Club for 10 years, president of the Senior Citizens' Auxiliary and has also worked with the Bush Children.

When asked the recipe for 50 golden years, Mrs Farlow said: "Common, good manners".

Growth prompts development

Mr Cuddy said that while he expected the population to double in the next two years, he did not believe there would be a corresponding housing boom.

"There's a lot of homes that are empty for much of the year on the Coast," he said. "The owners come down for weekends or spend their annual leave here. But this will change. Houses are worth too much today to leave them empty.

Once the population builds up these houses will come onto the rental market easing the pressure for accommodation.

"The growth will come through Iwasaki

A VOLUNTEER committee of Livingstone Shire Council members will meet to review rate remissions for local societies and organisations.

❑ Continued from page 1

DOUG CUDDY, one of the principals of Cuddy and Bretz (Yeppoon) Pty Ltd, said this week the impetus for the shopping development was the existing and expected growth of the Capricorn Coast.

He expects the Coast's population to double in the next two years, once the impact of the Iwasaki tourist resort is felt.

"People don't realise just what that resort is going to do to the Coast," he said.

"They are walking around with their eyes closed. It's going to have a tremendous influence on the importance of this area."

April 28 — May 4, 1984 —

Volunteers meet over rates

Not enough land in town for complex He said this was not idle talk. "Everyone thought Blackwater shopping centre would get wiped out when a new complex opened in the town but the competition improved business," he said. , Asked whether it would have been better to build in the existing shopping centre in Yeppoon, Mr Cuddy said there wasn't enough land available.

"This complex will cover 7.6 acres," he said. "It has parking for 528 vehicles ... and, if the council gets tough, we could have to provide parking for 650.

"Where could a centre of this size go in Yeppoon? It would mean half the existing businesses would have to be knocked down to accommodate•it."

"Rather than knock down businesses, this town needs more. Look what happened when IG Supermarket closed. One supermarket made way for seven businesses."

Mr Cuddy said the rezoning application to council had been returned because the submission did not comply with the Local Government Act. Because of the size of the proposed complex, the applicants must provide an Environmental Impact Study and an Economic Impact Assessment.

The Economic Impact Assessment is required to investigate: o The existing level of service provided by shops. This includes an examination of the catchment areas, level of customer satisfaction. o Identification of over provision of shops and under-provision. o The level of service provided by the proposed shops. This includes examination of catchment areas.

9 Assessment of effect of proposed shops on existing shops, including costs and benefits from proposed shops. • o Other matters to ascertain the need for the new shops and effect on existing shops.

The Environment Impact Study is required to address: o The demand or need for the project. o Effect on flora or fauna; effect on soil. o Effect on surface water; effect on ground water; wastes generated; conservation; effect on aesthetics. o Effect on services. (Water supply needs, sewerage capacity required, additional load on stormwater drainage system, peak road traffic generated). o Effect on existing business activity. (Also assessment and evaluation of increased job opportunities in perpetuity). o Effect on social activity. (Impact on existing social and economic structure). And public safety.

Mr Cuddy said the study and assessment would soon be underway and, when completed, would be submitted to council.

He did not expect any problems in getting approval.

"The complex will meet all the council requirements, will provide jobs for 18 months while it is being built and will give permanent work to 100 people after it is opened," he said.

"The existing land is used for grazing and provides less rates now than it will after it is rezoned for a shopping centre. Unlike most shopping centres that have to knock down existing shops or family homes, this one will be built from the ground up on what is now a vacant area."

Mirror

... and proof is. the push by the Rockhampton City Council for an international airport for the city.

"That push is fuelled by the realisation of how many international visitors will be coming to the resort. The city would not push for its own international airport to bring in visitors for Rockhampton alone ... it's the realisation that the Iwasaki resort will bring the business to the Coast and Rockhampton will benefit too."

Mr Cuddy said the shopping complex would cost $6 million to build but would cost $8.5 million by the time the shopfitters had finished.

Cuddy and Bretz Pty Ltd would not be financing the entire development ... "others will be involved," he said. The "others" had already been approached and were "more than interested".

Asked whether the proposal was a furphy to inflate the value of the land, Mr Cuddy said the project was a "goer".

"We're not doing all this work for the fun of it," he said. "We will be building. It will take 18 months to complete, and, if we get approval in time, the Coast, Rockhampton, and the mining region will be buying Christmas presents there next year."

9 Coastpensioners day of prayer THE Pensioners' Day of Prayer will be held at St Christopher's Chapel, Nerimbera tomorrow (Sunday) starting at 10.30am.

The service will be conducted by a Salvation Army Officer and a Catholic priest.

Pensioners are expected to attend from South and North Rockhampton, Mt Morgan, Biloela, Emu Park and Yeppoon Leagues.

Yeppoon Pensioners' League singing group The Entertainers will sing "The Old Rugged Cross" and Stan Nelson, accompanied by his wife Winnie, is the soloistrendering "I ask the Lord to Comfort Me" for the service. Official accompanist to the Yeppoon Pensioners' League is Mrs Irene Jones, who will accompany the singing group

and play for the congregation hymn singing.

Following the church service a move will be made to Schotia Place where pensioners will partake of a BYO lunch. Tea, milk and sugar will be provided. A mini social will follow lunch.

The Day of Prayer is held annually under the sponsorship of the Centr-.I Queensland Zone of the Pensioners' League.

This year because of the illness of Mr George Odgaard, arrangements for tomorrow are in the hands of senior vicepresident George Bardrick.

Buses from Emu Park and Yeppoon will leave for the service at 9.30am.

Tourism sign in wrong place A ROAD sign on the Gladstone Road, Rockhampton, which promotes the Capricorn Coast, is in the wrong place to attract the attention of tourists, according to a Livingstone Shire councillor.

Cr Maurie Webb told council at this month's meeting that the sign also had too much writing on it.

Cr Webb said the Capricorn Coast Tourism Organisation should be contacted for discussions with council about the sign.

The CCTO recently sent a letter to council requesting assistance in meeting the road sign's rental.

A report by the shire clerk said Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry had opted out of an arrangement to share the rental and council would have to share future payments with the CCTO. Council voted to accept a recommendation to share the cost for this year and pay the necessary $221 for half the annual rent.

Council to check Wild Duck work LIVINGSTONE Shire Council may send representatives to Wild Duck Island following reports that development on the island may not have been approved by council.

Deputy chairman Cr Dick Tennent said at last week's council meeting reports in a newspaper article indicated new developments were not in line with earlier, council approved, plans.

Cr Tennent said constant attempts to contact the resort directors at Mackay had been fruitless.

If resort directors remain out of contact, council will send representatives to inspect the island.

A council spokesman said outside the meeting that plans for the development already approved by council incorporate a large, hotel-type complex, two man-made lakes (the largest of which would have a restaurant on it), an airstrip large enough to accommodate Fokker Friendships, 40 to 60 small villas, a jetty and staff quarters.

`Mossie Mob' wins praise LIVINGSTONE Shire councillors last week voted unanimously to congratulate the "Mossie Mob" on their "diligent" mosquito eradication campaign.

The motion, put forward by Cr Maurie Webb, followed a report tabled in council by health inspector John Harmwsworth over the work the team had done on the Capricorn Coast.

The report said the team had worked from Barlow's Hill to Normanby Street and the railway crossing as well as Cooee Bay and the Taranganba estate.

Until March 30, 1117 premises had been inspected wiht 98 positive breeding sites indentified, most of which have been removed.

Mr Harmsworth said the in the report: "The number of breeding sites located and eliminated indicate that breeding' of mosquitoes is prevalent in our urban area.

The scheme, as it is conducted, is theref6re very worthwhile".

`Stretch' for tip THE Belmont refuse tip will stay open until the end of the financial year.

Despite a previous decision to close the tip, council voted to "stretch" the closing time until June 30, after plenty of notice had been given to people in the area.

A report tabled to council by health surveyor John Harmsowrth said all the available space in the tip had been excavated and used, however council voted to continue using "one side of the tip" for the next two months.

Mr Harmsworth's report said a new refuse tip just off the 14 Mile Road near The Caves town had just been opened which would now service the area.

James Street, with special emphasis on Findlay's store, the Iwasaki resort and Rosslyn Bay are featured at the start of the movie ... and Yeppoon underwater model Dianne Widdowson is featured in the film.

Reef Safari premiered at the Kavlon Cinema on Saturday night. It was launched with champagne, and, appropriately for an underwater film ... fish and chips.

John Harding filmed Reef Safari in two weeks while cruising on the Coralita with a party of Americans who were intent on seeing the Great Barrier Reef at its best, underwater.

Those who enjoyed Lloyd Bridges in the old TV series called Seahunt will enjoy Reef Safari because it has some distinct advantages over the TV show: It's in coclour, it was shot at a number of locations on and around the Great Barrier Reef ... and there's not those endless shots of bubbled making their way to the surface.

Dianne Widdowson is an attractive part of the film. She looks good and her actions underwater give the film added zip. She features prominently toward the end of the movie when she attracts a sea snake that decides it wants to make friends.

People who feel revulsion at the sight of snakes could get to overcome their fear with this particular snake because years of being afraid of the reptiles dissolves when the film shows how casually Dianne handles the problem.

The Coralita's skipper and crew are also featured in the film and, with world-wide release intended for the video; Reef Safari should be a good advertisement for the Great Barrier Reef and the Capricorn Coast.

The film shown on Saturday night was described by John Harding as a preview tape.

It had no titles, still had some minor editing to do and required a sound track. As a result, it is hard to comment on the final product.

But, for those at the premiere, the substitute for the sound-track was a blow-byblow account by John Harding who described each scene as it screened.

He answered questions at the end of the film and was quite candid with a number of remarks. When he did not know what type of fish it was that was shown in a certain scene he admitted it and asked if anyone in the audience could help.

It was refreshing to meet someone who's been there, done that ... but says there are things he does not know.

Dianne Widdowson could not be coaxed to the microphone to give her account. More's the pity ... many would have liked to hear her talk about sea snakes. She said after the screening that she had been working underwater for the past eight years with the Coralita and was not frightened of sea snakes.

There were no ifs or buts ... she doesn't feel they are anything to worry about.

And she doesn't wear a wet-suit, even if there are snakes around.

Reef Safari is expected to be available on video in about a month.

THE COLUMN titled "Artefact" you see in this week's Capricorn Coast Mirror is an occasional column from Dale Childs.

The word artefact in the Oxford Dictionary means: 'A product of human art and workmanship' ... and that's what the column is all about.

During Easter, Dale visited Nob Creek Pottery, saw some work by local artists and there you have it.

If anyone is having an exhibition, showing, display, demonstration or what have you, please let me know beforehand and maybe we'll be able to con Dale into going (that's if she hasn't already decided she will be going anyway).

The Capricorn Coast Mirror (this is getting to be like a stuck needle on a record), is in a room of Pat Andersen's Real Estate Office, 38 James Street, Yeppoon, opposite the 'newlook' BP Yeppoon. The phone number is 39 4244 (also on the front of the paper under the masthead) and our Post Office Box number is 769, Yeppoon. Or just grab me as I go past.

CAWARRAL Primary is having a 'Mayday Fete' on May 5.

Besides stacks of stalls: plant and produce, tea and coffee, hamburgers and hot dogs, cakes and sweets, icy cups and drinks, sewing and stuffed toys, trash and treasure, novelty and books, there is entertainment.

Biscuit-baking ... must be in by 12.15pm on the day;. knock-ems, pick-a-straw, tail on the donkey, guess the height of the pole, raffles, floral displays, the list goes on.

A karate demonstration, folk dancing.

What would a Mayday Fete be without a Maypole. No-one seems to do these anymore, but when I was a kid they were great to be in and fun to watch.

The competition to watch would have to Ix the 'arm-wrestle'. Now this is for everyone to enter and the trophy — Cawarral Crusher — has been donated by the Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig. Nominations can be before the fete by ringing the principal, Mr (Moder at 34 4132, or on the day, as soon as you arrive.

The Mayday Fete starts at noon and is in the grounds of the Cawarral School.

Artefact 0 with Dale Childs • DID you have a good weekend?

I decided to pop out to Nob Creek Pottery for the Open Day and have a perve at some local art. You did know about it didn't you? ... Nob Creek Open Day at Byfield on Easter Sunday?

Anyway, onward and outward. The first things to grab the ol' eyeball were a super array of plates and serving dishes by Beth Bishopric with glazes ranging from a mottled, moss-like cover in greens and browns to geometric patterns under a clear glaze.

Some of the other potters included Helen Crandle and Marg Jaffray. Marg had some slab pots and some saw-dust fired, primitive pots. I might mention that by the time I got to Nob Creek her slab pots were sold out and of course, Steve Bishopric's.

Steve seems to be finding his clay as elastic as his range of work — you can choose from a delicate snake you can hold in the palm of your hand, to an urn that stands waist high. I asked Steve what he and Beth wanted to achieve with open days in Byfield.

"To make a festival day of art and craft for local people to display their work," he said. "Particularly to encourage young crafts' people to produce and sell their work as a means to becoming selfsufficient."

"There does seem to be a need for this sort of day. People are eager to come out here and see what is available. It seems they want to get back to stuff with soul," Steve said.

Off I went to find some more soul, so to speak.

I saw some beautiful furniture made by Glen Stickley and Penny Mitchell's simple and lovely clay-bead jewellery. Author Peter James was present in the form of two of his books: 'Central Queensland' and 'Requiem to the Reef'. If you haven't read him yet, try to get hold of a copy.

After all, they are about our State.

Lead-light lady, Robin Shutze. threw a bit of light on the subject with her lampshades and mobiles.

Out of the pottery shed and into the garden to be greeted by some of the works of Bill Yaxley, and in a few minutes I was peering into snake-infested swamps, building castles in the sand and thinking of writing to my mother with one of Bill's stamp designs in the top corner.

"A need has been shown in the past few years for people to get out to places that have some sort of magic," Bill said. "Nob Creek helps to fill that need. People are not being satisfied with what conventional tourist organisations are operating."

"You could socialise art but here you have something operated by people who use their own initiative and capital," he said.

Photographer Glen O'Malley agreed: "Taxpayers money ties you down to a bureaucratic operation where most of the energy is put into administration."

On to some wonderful, strong, landscapes in charcoal by Dieter Irving and then to the softness of his "Day Dream" paintings of Cooee Bay. If you haven't seen these yet then you had best take a look.

Next I came across a series of work by Murray Edwards called "Portrait of the Artist as a not so Young Man". If any of you can recall the work Murray was doing a couple of years ago, you will be pleasantly surprised by this latest series.

"My art is of a personal style and it's an outlet for constant and intense awareness of my surroundings," said Murray, A purchase of one of these drawings or paintings at this early stage might be a good idea. Mr Edwards is working at present in the Mackay area and will be exhibiting here in the near future.

Nob Creek open days are held in Byfield twice a year. Easter Sunday and the first Sunday in December. Meantime the pottery is open 11am to 5pm weekdays, Sundays and holidays.

THERE was a very happy participant at the RSL Anzac Day Luncheon ... Jack Blake.

Don't know the name? Well, not surprising, Mr Blake is an English serviceman from the county of Cheshire, the City of Chester, who is visiting Yeppoon.

He is happy because his daughter presented him with his first grandson, Alistair Keith Dunthorpe, on April 24 at the Lady Godwin.

Mr Blake is on the Coast with his son-inlaw Max, who lives at Middlemount. Max and his wife Hilary (Mr Blake's daughter) decided to book into a Rockhampton Hospital for the birth.

Mr Blake came to Australia for the birth of two grandchildren, Hilary's son and other daughter, Celia Kershaw of Orange, who is due in May. Celia and her husband Steve are farmers.

Both daughters celebrated a double wedding in September, 1981 in the village of Christleton, near Chester.

Mr Blake is a solicitor, president of the Malpas, Cheshire British Legion (similar to the RSL) and a member of the, Chester City Council.

He also has a step-son in Australia, Robert Pettigrew of Melbourne.

SPECIAL guests at the Yeppoon RSL Anzac Day Luncheon were Gerald and Ursula Coney of Selvey Street, Yeppoon and Ted and Helen (Nellie) Goodwin of Bluff (near Blackwater).

Gerald and Ted were both World War I Diggers and they enjoyed the fuss that was made of them. Mr and Mrs Coney have been married 62 years and have 16 Great Grandchildren. They came to Australia after the Great War. The future Mrs Coney arrived in Australia in 1920 and, on June 2, 1922, married her nest-door-neighbour ... Gerald.

Mr Goowin, who was referred to in a speech as "Mr RSL", recalled working on the original railway line to Yeppoon on the Mt Chalmers-to-Yeppoon section around 1910. He's 91 and, can't recall the number c Anzac Day observances he has attended.

The luncheon was held at the Railway Hotel and it was a great event. Hotel manager Grant Tindall and staff did everyone proud.

Olympic pool ,could start this year

L

THE construction of an olympic swimming pool in Yeppoon could start this year, if an application by the Capricorn Coast Memorial Olympic Swimming Pool Committee for Community Employment Programme funding is approved.

Howver, committee secretary Brian Dorey said, if built, the pool would not cost $3500 a week to run as stated in a recent article.

He said the figures used in the article and taken from a Livingstone Shire Council report were misleading and irrelevant to the basis upon which an Olympic pool would be constructed.

Mr Dorey said the figures were based on the council providing a $734,662 loan repayable over 15 years. There has at not time been any approach to the council to pay the major portion of the cost of construction of the pool. The council's liability to date was $100,000 loan programme funding and supervision of construction approved at the March, 1984 meeting.

Therefore the maximum subsidy of $65,000 stated, was also incorrect, he said.

Mr Dorey said the pool operation and wages included in the $3500 weekly cost were also hypothetical, being based on sole operation by council plus loan repayments on $734,662.

Yeppoon bowls THIS month h.ls been busy for Yeppoon bowlers. There was a charity day for the Blue Nurses with a roll-up of 64 members', enough to fill the green.

Lions club had good representation and the day raised $500. Castlemaine Perkins provided the trophies for the Spider and touchers during the day. Carlton United donated the trophies for the first three teams drawn out of the hat.

By far the biggest donor was Tony Bennett of Benneit's Mens Wear who gave $100 worth of clothing from his shop.

- There was another full green playing for the Rockhampton Credit Union trophies valued in excess of $200. Laurie Elms and Graham Phillipi represented the credit union and, in addition to presenting winners and runnersup with their trophies, turned on the taps in the bar.

The silver beer mugs won will be suitably inscribed. The winning team was Jack Condon, Laurie Collins, Graham McCosker and president Eric Austin. Runners-up were Marj Stewart, who filled in as an extra when the team was one player short, Joe Bates, Dave Copeland and Col Harris.

There were some close games in the competitions. Two graded triples were played and both finished as drawn games and an extra end had to be played to get a result. Reg Gibbins, Tom Roos and Bob Skuthorpe led early against Ken O'Leary, Sandy Grant and Ian Clark, then in a few ends Clark scored a five, four and three and with four ends to play led 20-11.

Gibbins won all four ends to tie the game and then Clark won the extra end. Graham Foley, Mark Gustafson and Roy Graff junior led Harvey Atherton, Alf Schofield and Keith McKimmie 16-8. The in the run home Graff jnr managed to score only one single allowing McKimmie to square the game 17 all. The extra end went to McKimmie to make him a winner.

In the club triples Ken Moore, Frank Burkitt and Arthur Spurway were never headed against Fred Baker, Barry Quigley and Geoff Lambert. Three ends from home, Spurway had a narrow lead 17-16, then picked up a five to put the issue beyond doubt.

In the A singles Fred Baker played true to his good form beating Keith McKimmie 31-26.

In the B singles Arnie Petersen allowed Frank O'Brien to get away to an early lead and O'Brien held this to score 31-16. Ken Moore had to work hard over a total of 37 ends to defeat Mo Stewart 31-26.

The scores were tied many times in the mixed pairs and it was only by winning the last three ends that Noreen Garner and Dough Haigh defeated Daphne and Eddie Engel 2317.

❑ ABOVE: Checking scorecards after a round at Emu Park Golf Club on Sunday are John Crowhurst (Rockhampton), John Houlihan (Emu Park), David Macauley (Tanby) and Helmut Andowsky (Parkhurst).

VERA FARLOW, giving the recipe for 50 Golden years of marriage, was quoted in Suzy's Capricorn Coastline as saying that manners were the secret. Actually, when she said that she paused, looked at husband Bill, then said "... and I never had a headache".

JOHN HARDING, when giving the commentary for his film, Reef Safari, at the Kavlon on Saturday night, reached the point where the Iwasaki resort stretched across the screen showing the enormous buildings and grounds ... "I put in those scenes to show that the resort isn't just for Japanese; it's also for millionaires!" I wonder if that comment will be part of the finished video?

ASK Bill Grayson to show you the letter he received from "Tucker" Yamamato he's tickled pink. Seems Bill was celebrating the New Year at his Farnborough Road home when he noticed three young Japanese in the upiths next door were on their own. He invited them in. to share the festive spirit and struck up a bit of a friendship. He discovered they had been working on the Coast at the Iwasaki resort but hadn't had much time to see the real Australia. He mulled over this for a few days then took them out to Mike Hood's 27,000-acre property at Middlemount.

They saw the real Australia ... in one day they saw cattle, kangaroos, an emu with its young and a dingo. Shortly after this trip "Tucker" ("That's what we called him," Bill said. "He told us his first name was too long too handle.") headed back to Japan via Surfers Paradise. Bill received Tucker's letter of thanks this week and is touched by the thoughts expressed.

"Think of the work he must have put into writing that letter in English," Bill said.

TALL tale but true from the wilds of Whitman Street ... Wally Laycock had a problem, not a big one, but annoying all the same. Something was digging into his pot plants after witchetty grubs and making a mess. It's one of those problems you keep putting off until, finally, the urge hits and off you go to solve the mystery.

Anyway, the urge hit Wally this week so he went on safari in his Whitman Street backyard (deeper into the jungle, deeper into the jungle) and there was definitely something that shouldn't be there ... A strange mound of grass. Armed with nothing except his bare hands Wally started tearing at the grass. There was a rustle, a blur, and a shout from Wally ... he had been knocked flat by a kangaroo rat. It seems he had been tearing at its nest and the kangaroo rat, deciding discretion was the better part of valour, headed for the hills. Unfortunately, Wally, or rather Wally's stomach, was (:n a direct line with the hills, and Wally wound up winded. He said the kangaroo rat was about 30 inches high (that's the Imperial measure kangaroo rat that Wally saw; the Metric Model is about 75cm high, or is it long?)

Wally said he last saw the kangaroo rat heading for Vaughn Street. Well, to all Vaughn Street residents, you can't say you haven't been warned.

SMARTY nine-year-old Son-of-Hill told me, straight-faced, that he didn't have to go to school on April 26 because it was Easter Thursday. Seems he had been watching Mike Walsh on Anzac Day who referred to Easter Tuesday in Sydney (that used to be Children's Day at the Show there). Anyway, the smarty learns that kids there had a day off school so he tried for the Easter Thursday lurk. Television has a lot to answer for ...

SPEAKING of smarties ... whoever thought up the idea of sending the kid back to school on April 24? If heaps of tht parents were planning to take off the da why should the kids have to set th example?
