Flying Fox Feedback Following its resolution to create a Flyingfox Management Plan to reduce the community impacts of Flying-fox camps throughout Dungog Shire, Council is calling on all residents to have their say on these ‘Little Aussie Battlers’, particularly in relation to the camps at Gresford, Dungog and Clarence Town. Council’s Manager Environmental Services, Mr Paul Minett, says community feedback and engagement is essential to the creation of an effective management plan for the region. We understand that Flying-fox camps in residential areas can significantly impact local communities, and so community feedback will be crucial in ensuring the management plan is relevant, timely and appropriate in minimising these impacts. We’re calling on all residents and other stakeholders to provide feedback via our online survey on the dedicated web page: dungog.nsw.gov.au/flying-foxes Our aim is to create a management plan that will provide a framework to help reduce impacts on Dungog Shire residents, while conserving these animals and supporting the pivotal role they play in sustaining Australia’s fragile ecosystem.

ST. MARY-on-ALLYN, 175th anniversary The story begins with the arrival from Wales of Charles Boydell, who was given a grant of land north of Paterson on the site of the town of Gresford. He named his property “Camyr Allyn” which is Welsh for “a cottage on the Allyn”. Charles prospered and wrote enthusiastically to his younger brother William, who was then a medical student at the University of Edinburgh. William decided to follow his brother and settle in New South Wales and booked his passage on the good ship Camden. Among his fellow passengers were William Grant Broughton, who had been recently consecrated first Bishop of Australia, his wife and two daughters. William fell in love with one of the daughters, Mary Phoebe and in due course asked the Bishop for approval to marry Mary. The Bishop’s reply was an emphatic “No” as he was familiar with the district where William was to settle and that the nearest place of worship was at Paterson which was too far along a bush track for Mary to attend church service.
church on his property to serve the needs of the settlers and provide a place for Mary to worship, the Bishop might consider his proposal in a more favourable light.
The first incumbent at St Paul’s was the Reverend John Jennings Smith and the original church was built in 1839 and could hold 400 persons. Six years later the present church was consecrated.
This the Bishop did and he even produced a design for a small stone Church that he promised to consecrate when it was completed.
St Paul’s was built with money raised from two missionary societies, public subscriptions and Rev. Jennings Smith paid for the shingle roof. The building is of simple design with cedar lining the ceiling and panelled dado covers on the lower walls. St Paul’s is heritage listed as is St Mary’s.
The Church was completed in 1844, and Bishop Broughton kept his promise to consecrate it, naming it St. Mary-onAllyn. The consecration took place on the 26th November 1845.
As with St Mary’s, because COVID restrictions impact on the nature of The 175th anniversary of consecration of celebrations we are able to hold, people St Mary-on-Allyn is to be celebrated with a wishing to attend the noon Service at St service on Sunday 29 November at 9 am.

Portraits of Paterson by Alison Pitkin an area which sorely needed addressing. Her interviews were able to delve into the everyday lives of locals, where they lived and worked which means that we now know much more about local buildings, businesses and the village in general.
Paterson Historical Society is very fortunate to have a new book ready to be released in November. Alison Pitkin has been researching the history of the village and district for some years. She has interviewed many locals and those whose families have lived in the village for generations. All this hard work and commitment has produced a 156 page book.
Rather than relying on photographs Alison enlisted the support of Val Anderson to sketch every building which is covered in the book. The book is not only a history book but also a sketchbook of the village. Val is a renowned Hunter Valley artist who generously supports many causes with her art. She has illustrated much of the district over the years and in many ways, this is a culmination of her work. There are over 100 individual sketches in the book – a magnificent contribution in itself.
In keeping with Covid era guidelines we are convening a soft launch in Tucker Park. This worked well for the release of Wayne Patfield’s book Steamships on the Paterson River We will be setting up a small desk and stall in Tucker Park under the poplar trees for an afternoon when anyone can call by and see Alison and purchase the book. This will be from 1-4pm on Sunday 15th November 2020. There will be no official proceedings, so people can arrive at any time between 1 and 4pm. which has never been published previously, and can only be found in The books are an important source of this great book by Alison. revenue for the Society and it is essential to make them available before Alison has structured the book around Christmas. Alison’s book Portraits of memories, places and buildings. It is Paterson will retail for $25. It is a largely focused on the 20th and 21st treasure trove of information, some of century history of Paterson and district,
This book is a must purchase for anyone who has an interest or link to Paterson. You will know most of the people or family members and be fascinated by the many stories Alison has faithfully told. We look forward to you calling by on Sunday 15 November 2020. Cameron Archer AM President,Paterson Historical Society

ECONOMIC RECOVERY PLAN FOR AUSTRALIA
Dr David GILLESPIE MP
FEDERAL MEMBER FOR LYNE
The Liberal and Nationals Government’s Economic Recovery Plan will work to repair our economy, recover from the pandemic and grow our regional communities.
SUPPORTING SENIOR AUSTRALIANS
2020 has been a year that none of us will forget. After fires, floods and drought, our country was hit by COVID-19. COVID-19 has resulted in the most severe global economic crisis since the Great Depression. Across the world, the equivalent of 600 million people have lost their jobs. In response to this crisis, the Morrison Government has committed unprecedented support to save lives, cushion the blow and help Australians remain in jobs.
To support Age Pensioners, the Government provided $750 payments in April and July. Age Pensioners will now receive an additional $250 payment in December and another $250 payment in March. To support senior Australians who want to keep living at home, an additional 23,000 home care packages will be provided. This brings the total to more than 180,000 places, three times the number of home care packages than when this Government was elected in 2013.
JobKeeper is a $101 billion lifeline that is supporting around 3.5 million jobs, and JobSeeker doubled the safety net. Together, our actions saved 700,000 jobs. We could do this because we entered this crisis in a position of strength, brought the Budget back to balance for the first time in 11 years and maintained our AAA credit rating. Australia’s economy is fighting back. More than half of those who lost their jobs are back at work. However, there remains a monumental task ahead. This Budget sets out the next phase of our Economic Recovery Plan.
GUARANTEEING HEALTH CARE The Budget delivers record funding for health of $93.8 billion in 2020-21, an increase of almost 43% since 2014-15. Extending Medicare subsidised telehealth services has enabled over 30 million consultations since the crisis began. This Budget includes funding for new lifesaving medicines on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme – to treat leukaemia, melanoma and Parkinson’s disease and help women with ovarian cancer. This year, $5.7 billion is being provided to support mental health, including funding for critical front-line services, suicide prevention, and doubling the number of Medicare funded psychological services through the Better Access Initiative, from 10 to 20.

TAX RELIEF FOR 11 MILLION AUSTRALIANS
BUILDING INFRASTRUCTURE Rebuilding our economy includes building more roads, rail and bridges. This Budget is expanding its 10-year infrastructure pipeline which is already supporting 100,000 jobs on worksites across Australia today. A further $14 billion in new and accelerated infrastructure projects will support a further 40,000 jobs. A further $2 billion is being invested in road safety upgrades. An additional $1 billion will support local councils to upgrade local roads, footpaths and street lighting.
More than 11 million taxpayers will get a tax cut backdated to 1 July this year. Lower and middle-income earners will, this year, receive tax relief of up to $2,745 compared with 2017-18. We will also retain the Low- and Middle-Income Tax Offset for an additional year. The changes mean more than 7 million Australians will receive tax relief of $2,000 or more this year. This rewards hard work. It means Australians will have more of their own money to spend on what matters to them, which will help local businesses and create more jobs.
JOBMAKER HIRING CREDIT A new JobMaker Hiring Credit will encourage businesses to hire younger Australians. The JobMaker Hiring Credit will be payable for up to twelve months and be immediately available to employers who hire those on JobSeeker aged 16-35. It will be paid at the rate of $200 per week for those aged under 30, and $100 per week for those aged between 30 and 35. New hires must work for at least 20 hours a week. Treasury estimates that this will support around 450,000 jobs for young people.
INVESTING IN SKILLS AND TRAINING 100,000 new apprenticeships and traineeships will be supported with a 50% wage subsidy for businesses who employ them. This is in addition to the 180,000 existing apprenticeships and trainees that are being protected. The new JobTrainer fund will create up to 340,000 free or lowcost training places for school leavers and job seekers. 50,000 new higher education short courses will be available, including in health, IT, agriculture, science and teaching. New cadetships and apprenticeships are being provided for women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics
MODERN MANUFACTURING AND RESEARCH Australia’s manufacturing sector employs around 860,000 Australians. The Modern Manufacturing plan will target six national manufacturing priorities, to build on our strengths and ensure manufacturing plays a greater role in our recovery: • medical products; • food and beverage manufacturing; • recycling and clean energy; • resources technology and critical minerals processing; • defence industry; and • space industry. This Budget also provides $2 billion in additional Research and Development incentives. The Morrison Government is also providing $1 billion for new research funding for our universities, backing our best and brightest minds.

Garden Group We have virtually come to life again! For the first time this year our members have met in a garden. Only 20 members at each session but it was magical for all who ventured out! Throughout Covid I believe many families have been digging and planting. The nurseries around us have been bombarded with sales…particularly plants for the veg patch. I’ve just taken a bag of potatoes from my pantry that were sprouting, cut them up to leave one sprout on each piece, dried them in a secure place for a few days (stops them going moldy after planting) and then planted them about 10cm deep in a furrow sprinkled with blood and bone. As they leaf up, you need to keep mounding the soil around them so they grow higher and higher. The more you mound up, the larger the quantity of potatoes below! Don’t forget to keep an eye on your citrus trees. They probably need a spray of white oil every three weeks during the hot months to take care of leaf miner, black sooty mould and scale insects. Water in some trace elements and iron chelate now but do not feed with fertilizer until flowering has finished. If you do you will get large leaves and less fruit. Janie Chandler

The Native Frangipanni are hardy, drought resistant, will tolerate a light frost and benefit from growing in a group. The compact ‘Gold Nugget’ variety is a small shrub growing to about a metre high and a metre wide which responds well to pruning to form a low hedge. According to The Royal Botanic Garden Sydney botanist Russell Barrett it has been cultivated around the world for its sweet perfume and attractiveness.

CWA News ECUADOR DID YOU KNOW?
Our AGM will be held on November 5th, 9.30am in the CWA rooms. Please bring your own drinks and snacks. It will be so good to see everyone after all this time – much to catch up on.
The TOQUILLA STRAW HAT was well known for many years as the Panama hat. Panama was the country that exported the hat to Central America, the United States and Europe where it became popular. The name of the palm species known as toquilla straw is native to Ecuador. It has a long stem of up to 2 metres high, with wide fan-shaped leaves which are harvested after 3 years. The quality of the hat is measured by degrees – the number of threads per square metre.
Sincere sympathy to Jennifer Waterman on the death of her husband Norm.
AG. & ENVIRONMENT The flora, fauna and foe for study by CWA of NSW in 2021 is: FAUNA – Possum, FLORA – Pimelia, FOE – Parthenium Weed.
Ecuador is the only country where the Equator passes through. It is named after it, Ecuador being Spanish for Equator. The longest married couple in the world live in Ecuador. They have been married for 79 years. The cinchona tree of Ecuador produces quinine. Also it was in the Ecuadorian Amazon that the world’s first cocoa drink was prepared more than five thousand years ago.
An Australian fauna and flora is chosen each year by the Agricultural & Environmental Committee to encourage members to discover more about some of our native species. A foe is also chosen to bring awareness to the weeds or pests having a negative impact on our land and/or waterways.
BOOK CLUB The members meet on the 2nd Saturday of the month. New members always welcome. The book for November, “The Testaments” by Margaret Attwood. Lively conversation, meet new people, enjoy.
We hope to get together with Landcare re the Parthenium weed and the Garden Club re Pimelia. The possum will always have his place in our landscape.

The Farm by Joanne Ramos Ramos is a Philippine-born American, who understands the tensions and difficulties of her Filipina characters very well. In her author’s note she says, ‘The Farm' is a work of fiction. But it is also in many ways, true.’ She describes the lives of Filipinas who leave their own families to look after other people’s – a well-known international phenomenon, with its attendant heartache, struggle and frequent exploitation. This novel borders on science fiction, in that it is the story of a surrogate farm, where poor women are paid to carry the babies of rich people who are too busy making money or courting fame to carry their own. The so-called ‘Hosts’ are implanted with the embryos of the ‘Clients’ and are well-looked after in terms of food and medical care for the duration of their pregnancies. They are paid a salary and receive a bonus for a successful delivery, but are virtual prisoners until the babies are born. The main complication comes when a Host is torn between her obligation to the baby she is carrying and her own daughter, who has been left with a relative. The ruthless efficiency of the Farm management becomes obvious when their system is threatened. Despite their superficial kindness and liberality, the self-interest and hypocrisy of the wealthy characters is clear. This is an effective exploration of the contrast between the rich and poor in America. All books reviewed are from the CWA library on a separate shelf in the library so they are easy to find plus the reviews are in a folder. There has been a recent donation of mysteries and thrillers to the library in addition to the Lee Child donation, and some of the donated romance novels are now available in the street library.

This is the sixth, and last, in a series of articles that Dr Jamie Derkenne has written for the Gresford News. White Australians often think of people of other cultures and nations in terms of broad stereotypes. We even describe ourselves in these terms, often referring to Australian larrikinism, and the “fair go” even though the most cursory examinations of these preconceptions reveal them to be illusory. So it is with attitudes towards Indigenous Australians that still persist to this day. Australian literature is full of phrases such as “howling blacks”. Even Sigmund Freud described Australian Indigenous peoples as “the most miserable” on Earth, while no less a poet than Banjo Paterson, another purveyor of the “howling black” meme, goes on to write that Indigenous Australians are lazy and ungrateful. Banjo wrote mostly for a news magazine whose masthead up until the 1960s included the phrase “Australia for the White Man”. We can well imagine that the Indigenous Banjo met were indeed ungrateful; what had they to be thankful for? Henry Thomas Ebsworth in 1826 writes of the Indigenous in general and the Gringai in particular “They have commonly been treated in
A will to win
Yet despite all the trauma, the Gringai have right through this wretched Colonist history even to the present day shown a perseverance, stoicism and sense of humour that has brought them the admiration of any writer who has cared to understand what they can of Gringai culture.
someone made a present to a stalwart black of an old hat, coat, or other discarded garment. The recipient would don the gift, usually after a fashion never originally intended, and would strut proudly about the camp displaying himself and his adornment. After the owner had spent some time in exhibiting his prize, a comrade would calmly approach him and secure possession of it to go through the same performance. Then quickly it would pass from one to another, and each man in turn would extract a maximum of merriment from its possession. Afterwards the gift, whatever it was, never seemed to have any particular owner, for it would be free for all the tribe. The first recipient never troubled about being deprived of possession, and enjoyed more the uses to which it was put by his friends.”
William Scott describes a group reduced to about 50 people at Port Stephens by 1873 (Ebsworth writes there were 200 people 27 years previously), but writes often about a pervading sense of humour. They were “marvellously clever mimics” able to exactly mimic the mannerisms of notable people, both Colonist and Gringai. He writes “Their good temper and ... relish of fun was never more exemplified than when
“The more laughter they could crowd into it the merrier passed the days. Good temper pervaded their whole conduct, and it was hard to put any of them out of countenance. Naturally there was someone or other among them who had a striking physical peculiarity, either an overemphasised feature, a deformity, a trick of gait or speech common to himself. With their inimitable mimicry the deficiencies
different parts of the Country as though they had been dogs, and shot indiscriminately by convict Servants. – More of this has perhaps occurred here, and on the Banks of the Rivers running into this Harbour [Port Stephens], than in any other parts of the Colony.” Ebsworth goes on to effectively describe slave labour Gringai working on lime kilns – not the most pleasant of tasks – in return for basic food rations, mostly sugar, which the Gringai found to be an addictive narcotic.

The and idiosyncrasies of the others would be copied and mocked by strutting youths and old men, and even sometimes the women, their antics provoking the immoderate mirth of the whole tribe, including the very object of their humor. He more than anyone, seemed to enjoy the joke best.” Laughter extended to campfire singalongs. “It has often been said that the blacks had neither music nor melody in the corroboree songs... Such is far from being the case, for they [have a] keen ear for melody... That they understood harmonisation I am able to vouch for, and there were popular melodies, some quite catchy, in their repertoire... What accompaniment was played to their songs was contributed by means of the gentle clashing together of boomerangs or spears, the rhythmic beating making a not unpleasant obligato to the lusty choruses they sang. They [roared] out their choruses until the very echoes trembled on far-away Yacaaba Head. Their songs consisted mostly of a few lines, repeated over and over again, with a loudly shouted wy-yahng as a refrain. Each singer seemed to be trying to outdo his neighbor... and the only cessation was when all burst into screams of laughter.” As well as a keen sense of humour the Gringai also displayed a remarkable
stoicism. Scott’s father, a physician, helped set the leg on an elderly man who had broken it so badly the fractured bone was visible. Scott writes that not once did he complain, and that the next day the old man had cast off the plaster as it was too much of an encumbrance.
