PAGE RESISTS TEAL WAVE

Page resists teal wave TIM HOWARD While a teal wave might have played a huge part in sweeping the LNP government from office in Saturday’s Federal Election, in the seat of Page, it barely generated a ripple.

Sitting Nationals member Kevin Hogan has been returned for a fourth term as its member, increasing his two-party preferred margin by more than 3% with about 80% of the vote counted.

Mr Hogan said on Monday that his party had weathered the electoral storm which has thrown its Coalition partner, the Liberals, into turmoil.

“We went into Saturday on with 21 seat and came out with 21 seats. We lost no ground,” he said.

“It was inner city electorates that the push to the Greens and the Teal candidate had the most effect.”

Mr Hogan, who faced a Teal Independent in Hanabeth Luke, said it Letters TV Guide Travel Entertainment Real Estate

would be presumptuous of him to offer advice to the Coalition on how to counter their appeal to voters.

Ms Luke attracted just 11.97% of the vote after a determined grassroots campaign in the dramatically flood affected region.

Mr Hogan said being a local member “was not rocket science”.

“I am a community representative first and foremost and a party politician a very distant second,” he said.

“For the past eight years, not just the past six weeks, I got out and talked to people in the community.

“I see them on the street, I go into the shops and businesses to meet with them.

“I know how they’re feeling and what’s important to them.”

Mr Hogan said he had demonstrated this with his opposition to coal seam gas mining.

“I could see what the community was feeling on this issue and while it 12 41 45 48 50

Rural Puzzles Motoring Wines Business

went against what some in my party were saying, I disagreed with them,” he said.

For the first time since he was elected in 2013 Mr Hogan will be an Opposition Member of Parliament.

But he is confident he will still be able to represent the electorate and ensure it does not miss out.

“The first thing I will do when the new ministry is sworn in is to invite the new Minister for Emergency Services to come to Page and join me for a walk around flood affected regions,” he said.

Mr Hogan said while the State Government took the lead in flood recovery planning, there had already been massive inputs from the Federal Government in flood relief payments, paid via Centrelink.

“I think it’s been around $1.3 billion in NSW over the past two months,” he said.

Mr Hogan said comments the 52 56 58 60 61

government fell because of its record on climate change did not reflect the achievement it made in renewable energy.

He said focus on the government’s failure over a number of years to come up with meaningful energy policy overlooked other achievements.

“The government pumped more than $1 billion into solar rebates for people putting solar panels on their roofs,” he said.

“In practical terms the percentage of solar energy in the grid has risen from 11% to 25% in that time.”

Mr Hogan also said Australia had exceeded its emission targets and was performing better than countries like New Zealand, Japan and Canada.

A Federal Government report last year noted: “Emissions in the year to March 2021 were 494.2 million tonnes – 5.3% or 27.8 million tonnes lower than the previous year. They were 20.8% Gardening Health Cooking Stars Funerals

lower than in 2005 (the baseline year for the Paris Agreement).”

Mr Hogan said while there was a focus on the argy-bargy over policy emissions had lowered.

“We’re exceeding what we’ve agreed to do on lowering our emissions,” he said.

While it will be different for Mr Hogan on his return to Canberra, there is one thing he hopes doesn’t change, playing tennis against now prime minister Anthony Albanese.

“I sent Anthony a text message congratulating him on his win,” Mr Hogan said. “He sent back saying thanks and inviting me to play our next match at The Lodge.

Mr Hogan said it was quite common for politicians to form friendships across the aisle.

“Albo and I found we both played tennis to about the same standard and so we enjoy playing against each other,” he said.

“What I did notice that 62 63 64 66 67

when he started to trim down recently he became a lot faster around the court.

“Over the same time I’ve lost around 12kg too, so I’ve been able to keep up with him.”

In other Northern NSW electorates, the Nationals have also performed well.

In New England Barnaby Joyce has been returned comfortably.

In Cowper the Nationals’ Pat Conaghan looks like he will be returned although the numbers looked worrying on Saturday night.

The counting in Richmond continues with postal votes looking like deciding who will win a three-way contest between incumbent ALP representative Justine Elliott (23,498), Nationals Kimberly Hone (19,533) and the Greens’ Mandy Nolan (20,785).

Beef Week begins LARA LEAHY Beef Week has taken off like a bucking bull! Despite the weather, the Queen has been crowned, the streets are alive with the sound of music, the smells of BBQs and the festivities are everywhere you look!

Tayla Dawson was crowned the Beef Week Queen 2022 after an insightful speech into the future of the beef industry, talking about the trials of the weather situation, the prices and demand, and the need for resillience.

Tara Coles also spoke well, and it earned her the position of runner up.

Tayla glowed as Brooklyn Handford handed over her title.

“I’m over the moon, it’s so exciting! I’m looking forward to the week,” she said.

All of the ladies looked glamorous lending beautifully to the ambience of the evening.

A well deserved thank you to Sarah Jones, Makenzi Chadburn and Jesse Noll for their contributions towards this special occasion.

was rendered speechless when a special presentation was given to her during the ceremony! She was gifted a collage of images from her contribution to Beef Week and the community.

Monday morning saw the Teddy Bears Picnic at the Information Centre. The kids listened with rapt attention to the stories, bears in arms.

Photos: Lara Leahy

Gwendolyn Gray read her book, Bucket the Naughty Ducklings New Best Friend and Jeanette Bennett read The Tea Shop while Mr Music played the keyboard when the kids chorused ”Turn the page, Mr Music”.

The kids enjoyed the readings and at the end, Ms Bennett asked the kids if they learned anything from the story. One fellow replied, “I learned that mice like cheese!”

Meet the Artisans provided a cultural distraction for the adults, where they got to swap stories of creativity and inspiration. Gay Doyle said of her quilt style bags and placemats, “They are fun and full of life, the colours of the indigenous fabrics are beautiful.”

Lindy Westman was weaving one of her creations, “I like wool and silk, mainly,” as she held up a stunning coloured scarf made from an upcycled silk sari.

The information centre shop window has a great rendition of Breakfast with the Butcher, well worth a look.

Meanwhile, on the main streets of Casino, buskers are out bringing merriment to the passers by. And if you keep an eye out, you may spot a Disney character on Walker St!

Karen from Achieve was busy at the BBQ stand on Monday, preparing the fare for a hungry crowd. She said, “We are so happy to be back doing things amongst the community after we had to take a break last year with Covid.”

Please bear in mind that the Beef Week Cup Horse Race has had to be cancelled due to the weather.

However, on Friday night, many venues in town will be holding race day fashion prizes to the best dressed, and the Beef Week Cup Greyhound Races are still on!

Congratulations to the Beef Week Committee and everyone that has contributed to bringing this event together!

Byron council up front in flood submission TIM HOWARD Bryon Shire Councillors did not pull any punches putting the finishing touches to its submission to the NSW Flood Inquiry.

The councillors, minus Cate Coorey and Peter Westheimer, met last Thursday to fine tune the council submission which had input from staff engineers, councillors and the public.

During the meeting councillors made last minute additions to the document, due for submission last Friday.

The role of the SES and the location of the emergency evacuation centre at the Mullumbimby ExServices Club were two things the council felt had not been effective in the latest emergency.

Councillors also made recommendations about the role of climate change in the flood events, the

Mayor Michael Lyon said the SES response to the emergency had been disappointing in the number of volunteers on deck and a command structure based outside the region.

“It’s more relating to their command structure and how able they are to bring in other agencies into that structure to run operations efficiently,” he said.

“The contrast was made with the Rural Fire Service where they have a very good structure when it comes to fires.”

Cr Lyon said the first point the councillors considered when recommending change was the centre was not flood-free.

“And not necessarily in the best place, even in terms of for other parts of the town,” he said.

“When towns get cut off different parts of town might need a different evac centre.

“The fact that it’s in a flood prone area is

the main reason it’s not suitable.”

Councillors not an absence of trained personnel in the area when the emergency hit and recommended provision of training for people who would be flood wardens, able to step up when emergencies hit.

“The point is proper resilience and preparation would involve having people who’ve done training, who know how to respond when a disaster like that happens,” he said.

“There’s a pretty clear gap, that none of that preparation has been done and there aren’t the people who have done the required training to coordinate the efforts of others who present to help.”

Cr Lyon pointed out there was conflicting advice coming from all levels during the initial impact of the flood.

“It was all over the

shop,” he said. “Even the DCJ (NSW Department of Community and Justice) were saying to evacuate, but the evacuation centre wasn’t stood up because they couldn’t get to it.

“The fact that they didn’t make the effort to get to it. They didn’t make an alternative effort to get to it once the road was cut off.”

Cr Lyons said the flooding engineers and council staff had put together a comprehensive draft document that looked into the causes, response and recovery from the floods.

“Various councillors submitted things to staff for inclusion or consideration,” he said.

“We also invited members of the public to submit photos and stories and lesson and ideas as well.

“When that draft came to the meeting we just added anything we thought that was needed

or was missing, or needed to be reworded based on what the staff had pulled together.”

Cr Lyon was confident the council’s submission had been a worthwhile effort that would help the flood inquiry.

“It all addressed all the points it was asked to do,” he said. “That was the causes of the floods, the preparation and planning and the response and recovery.

“I think it was pretty comprehensive there’s a lot to cover. It’s hard to summarise.”

He said there was commentary on the involvement of the Australia Defence Force and all the other agencies and how they responded to the full range of flooding from flash floods due to rainfall, river rises and landslips.

“Resilience when it comes to natural disasters, when you see a large amount of people displace, you could include having

a responsive housing market,” he said.

“A housing market that’s fit for purpose.

A housing market that should have spare capacity in it.

“We’ve an area with a rental vacancy of well below 1% for a long period of time.

“We’ve been crying out for reform and haven’t had it, so when a disaster like this hits, you’ve got this crisis on top of an existing housing emergency, which makes it very difficult to respond effectively.”

Cr Lyon said that because the disaster spread beyond his council area it magnified these effect.

“It’s become a bit of a shitshow, which is exactly we’re seeing,” he said.

The councils voted unanimously to approve the final draft of the attachment and submit it to the flood inquiry by the Friday deadline.

Run raises $3000 for youth-friendly mental health materials headspace Lismore has thanked the Byron Bay Lighthouse Run for a $3,000 donation that has gone towards the creation of youthfriendly mental health material.

Program Manager Simone Balzer said the youth mental health service was grateful for contribution from the charity fun run organisers, especially has been impacted by

organisation Social Futures delivers headspace in Lismore;

“A big part of our program is making

mental health support and information as accessible as possible to young people and their families,” Ms Balzer said.

“This donation has been used to produce self-care and health literacy packs for young people and schools in our more isolated

communities in the Northern Rivers.

“This information will be in a language and style that resonates with young people and is a great asset, given the challenges young people have faced in the The Byron Bay Lighthouse Run charity

event has been going for 15 years and attracts on average 800 entrants to Byron Bay, but last year was held virtually due to the pandemic.

“Sadly, we couldn’t all get together at the foot of Byron’s lighthouse in November to do either a 6km walk or 10km run up and back,” Byron

Bay Lighthouse Run organiser Lisa Parkes said.

“In 2022 we will again be holding the event at Byron’s beloved lighthouse. It’s been scheduled for Sunday, October 16 so start getting your team together now.”

Applications for local not-for-profit groups and councils to apply for their share of $400,000 in grants under the 2022 Community Building Partnership Program are now open. These are fantastic grants and I encourage local groups to apply.

Applications close at 5pm, Friday 10 June 2022. For more information and to apply please visit www.nsw.gov.au/cbp

Floodplain conference LARA LEAHY It has been three years since the last Floodplain Management Australia conference (due to covid restrictions), and it’s a very timely comeback with the current weather situation.

This year’s conference was held in Toowoomba QLD, with representatives attending from Northern Rivers, including Lismore City Councils Councillor Vanessa Ekins who was speaking on the 2022 East Coast Panel Discussion.

The Panel discussed the roles leading up to, during and after flood events. The panel were asked to nominate a word to describe what is needed. Included were; “Collaborate” “Community” “Landswap” as well as “Networks” that was brought up a couple of times. It was agreed

Photo: Phillip Rudd that communication is key to coordination.

“It was great to see how generally accepted it is, that there is an increase of the frequency and magnitude of major flood events amongst the people attending.

The conference was well attended by engineers and floodplain experts looking at real solutions that we can implement,” Ms Ekins

said.

“Discussion revolved around how we respond to this issue.

Getting people out of flood plains with land swapping and relocating houses. However, there are pitfalls. In Grantham (QLD) around 100 houses were nominated that could be relocated.

70 agreed to the shift but only 30 places were rebuilt due to funding shortfalls.”

There was discussion on how to translate water data into something that people understand so risk to life and property can be mitigated. “People find it hard to read rainfall or flood level information and translate it to their situation in real time.”

Visual formats that show place and streets and when they are predicted to be affected are now a reality. This

includes road closures as well as inundation into built up areas.

To coordinate this information, live data fed into the computer systems is integral to accuracy. Of the automated measuring instruments used by Lismore City Council, Ms Ekins said, “Our gauges are in bad condition. There are six agencies managing them, but they are in

poor upkeep. We have a long way to go before this kind of modelling is available to us.”

Ms Ekins will be putting a motion forward to bring this to the attention of the area - the first step to accessing the visual technology needed to help protect in future flood events.

There are also interesting developments from a teaching and education perspective. “If lesson plans can be introduced from a young age, that can be a real benefit to the community in the future. Understanding who lives in a community, and how they can be of help.”

The theme of the conference was Integrated Floodplain Management: creating safer, stronger communities, something that resonates with most of this region right now.

SES encourages community to be prepared LARA LEAHY Over the last couple of weeks, the SES has been reaching out to communities across the Northern Rivers to make people aware of what to expect over the winter months, to promote what they do and what capabilites they have in their areas.

The meeting opened with the news that we will be expecting 4 to 5 times the normal expected amount of rain in this region over the winter months. ‘We don’t know if that will come spread over the cooler months, or within a short period of time,” Jake Hoppe, the SES Public Engagement Officer from the Hunter said.

The majority of callouts for Casino SES during storms are to patch leaks in rooves, remove trees threatening property and transport and door knock to make people aware of flood warnings.

Flood rescues have now become a larger concern to the community. One Casino local that had been flood affected said, “When you have lost everything, every flood is a major flood.”

Casino has one Flood Technician, and the feel from the attendees in the room was that was not enough. There are others with plans to go through

flood technician training, however the training is currently only offered in Penrith, at certain times of the year so it isn’t a quick fix solution.

Current SES resources and planning involve mobilising required staff and equipment to areas that require it.

“But that takes time. A place needs to be able to withstand the first day or two - up to 48 hours before resources can be available.”

The SES is calling for volunteers to join a new initiative - Community Action Teams or CATs are a team of people that can help assist with reaching out to their

social group. The time involvement is less than a full active member, but the actions of someone in that team can alleviate the workload on the members on the ground.

SES personnel are very sensitive to negative reactions from people who are not happy about the service, exacerbated by the situation the flood has put them in.

Unfortunately, SES roles are most needed during times of stress.

The topic was openly discussed, and Karin, Casino’s Commander spoke of her personal experiences with both negative and positive situations, finishing with

the “Pride I feel knowing how much effort the Casino SES team puts into their efforts for the community.”

There were 17 people in Casino SES at the time of the floods.

These 17 people provide assistance to a large area - roughly stretching from Rappville and Whiporie in the south, to the Kyogle Casino border in the north, Drake to the west and Tatham in the east. All those areas were affected by rising waters. Also consider, a handful of those 17 were unavailable due to severe flood inundation themselves or they were away from the area at the

time.

This number has recently risen to 25, which they are very pleased about, but more people are needed to assist the size of the areas they provide support to. This is not an issue limited to Casino.

The SES gave us a message to consider in times of extreme weather. “An evacuation warning should not be the first time you think to act. People need to understand the risk around them and communicate with each other. Talk to those that are not as able to react quickly, early, and give them time to plan.”

Some resources to consider: • Council flood maps are available online - if you are in or close to an area of flooding, make sure you are aware outside of a flood so you understand your risk a little more.

• The BOM information is what the SES rely on to make evacuation warnings. Keep up to date when the weather turns first-hand at the BOM. • Council Dashboards will keep you up to date with the latest information in their region. Get familiar with them now.

• Lismore Council will send out flood alerts if you register with them.

Look up Lismore Flood Alerts SMS Registration to receive information.

• Look up information on how to get prepared for storms this season.

On the SES website, there are four pale blue tabs at the top right to investigate - Flood, Storm, Tsunami and Fire.

• Keep an eye out for SES Community meetings - expected every 4 to 6 weeks, they will be made known on their Facebook page and on local noticeboards.

• Consider joining the SES - there are levels of time commitment and involvement to suit people’s lifestyles - it’s a worthy cause.

Annual whale migration makes a splash The first sightings of whales off the NSW east coast have been recorded as the annual migration from Antarctica to warmer northern waters begins.

Minister for the Environment James Griffin said the first of about 40,000 humpback whales have started

their long swim towards tropical waters.

“The whale migration is one of the longest journeys of any animal species and we are so lucky to be able to witness it right on our doorstep,” Mr Griffin said “We have more than 880 national parks

and reserves in NSW, many of which are on the coast and provide excellent viewing opportunities for these oceanic giants.

“After declining to an estimated few hundred whales in the early 1960’s, the recovery of the humpback whale population is a great

conservation success story and one we can all be proud of as we enjoy watching these majestic creatures make their way up the coast.”

Whales cover about 10,000km during their annual round trip from Antarctic waters, at a migratory speed of about six kilometres per

hour. Most of the whales that travel past the NSW coast are humpback whales, however other whale species include southern right whales, dwarf minke whales, tropical whales and even blue whales.

National Parks and Wildlife Service marine fauna expert Shona

Lorigan said humpback whales are easily recognisable and their behaviours, always put on a show for whale watchers.

“Later in the year, we’ll be able to see theses whales heading south again, many with their newborn calves,” Ms Lorigan said.

A bird’s eye view of the Tweed!

LARA LEAHY Skyline Attraction’s ferris wheel is coming to Tweed Heads!

Touted as Australia’s tallest portable observation wheel, it will provide you with a view that is normally limited to sea gulls!

Located within Goorimahbah – Place of Stories at Jack Evans Boat Harbour, it will add

to the story of the area.

All while providing vistas over the river, out to sea, over the wilderness on Letitia Spit as well as Tweed Heads.

The ferris wheel stands 35 metres high and the 24 gondolas have large perspex windows offering 360 degree stunning views of the surrounding area.

will be spectacular to behold, especially at night with the light show that the wheel provides.

“We are really excited to be going to the Tweed,” Jay of Skyline Attractions said.

“The wheel is popular and lends so much to communities - local business and patrons.”

You can see the wheel start going up on Monday, June 13th, but

you will have to wait until Friday 17th for a ride.

Look out for package deals with local businesses or if you live close by with ID, you can get the local’s discount.

The wheel is only temporary, but it will be in operation for just over 5 weeks.

“If it’s popular, we may become an annual

visitor,” Jay said.

The wheel has been keen to operate in this area, however, covid concerns put the dates back twice.

Tweed Valley Council has wanted to showcase the feature as it provides “enjoyment and wellbeing of the community and visitors to the Tweed.”

The Ferris Wheel will be up by mid June and

run until mid July.

The wheel is to operate from about 10am to 9pm, so you can see the area by day or night - or if you time it well, twilight at sunset!

It is a popular time, but the more people to load and unload, the longer you will be in the air.

Be Brave, Make Change: Reconciliation Week

LARA LEAHY Reconciliation Week 2022, asks people to “tackle the unfinished business of reconciliation so we can Make Change for the benefit of all Australians.”

Many events take place to raise awareness of history, culture and achievements.

As well as to explore

how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

To make that change, we are invited to take brave actions in daily life, where you live, work, play and socialise.

20 things are listed in Actions for Reconciliation on the reconciliation website.

There are two options, a safer option, and a

braver option to help prompt awareness and mindfulness in knowledge and action.

Some suggestions that we make to commemorate include; • watch an indigenous film or consider holding a Reconciliation Film Club event • read about the nation where you reside and learn some of the language

• visit your land council • post on social media something you have done or learned #NRW2022 #BeBraveMakeChange • read the Uluru Statement from the Heart • watch Stan Grant’s talk on Racism and the Australian Dream • Look up Cathy Jetta’s insightful Ted talk on

her experience • have a family debate about the date of Australia Day and explore the reasons behind a change.

National Reconciliation Week runs from 27th May to June 3rd on the heels of Sorry Day on Thursday 26th May. The Northern Rivers Times would like to acknowledge

the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises the continuing connection to lands, waters and communities.

We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders both past and present.

Tweed Valley Council report LARA LEAHY In keeping with Tweed Valley Floodplain Risk Management Plan, Tweed Valley Council (TVC) have accepted the offer of a grant from the NSW Dept of Planning and Environment (NSW DPE) to perform a risk management study including levee

overtopping and drainage at Tweed Heads South Levee”. The grant at $83,335 requires a council contribution of $41,667 to complete the funds needed to do the study.

MORE EASY UNDER ALBANESE What a pleasantly predictable election result, blind Freddy would have seen that coming; there was no way any self-respecting Aussie voter was ever going to tolerate such a badly behaving Govt any longer. Watching LNP carnage on a grand scale, was a joy to behold, “How good is Australia”.

No miracle this time just a massive revolt by the “quiet Australians” totally disillusioned with the most corrupt and incompetent Govt. in Australia’s history and the systemic lying, backstabbing and bullying behaviour of Scott Morrison, who was treating Australians like mugs and will undoubtedly be remembered as the worst PM in history.

How good was it to see this treacherous shapeshifting blatherskite

THE ENVIRONMENT Billionaires Mike cannon Brooks and twiggy forest want to help save the environment well the best way than can help the environment is not buy AGL or what other ideas they may have. Rather they should give their billions to the reforest now who plants trees everywhere to bring back the big scrub and other areas denuded of trees to stop ongoing climate change.

In addition, another great company devil’s ark who rewild native animals back into nature to help rebalance the eco system that’s so out of whack it’s insane think flood bushfire and incessant rain. Furthermore, they could fund getting rid of feral cats pigs etc and non-native species of plants like Lantana etc.

This is how they can help the environment and save us from utter disaster from climate change.

the things that matter to them, and to support me as their community independent.

I would like to send out a huge thank you to every person who has supported my campaign in ways big and small, and especially to the thousands of people who have put their faith in me in the form of their vote.

The work of the Voices 4 Page group will continue, and I plan to run again.

It’s inspiring indeed to see the success of the new teal MPs across Australia. For the sake of our communities I would have loved to have joined those independents, to be our community voice on the cross-bench, but the people have made their choice and I respect that.

I am heartened by the strong and compassionate speech of our new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

He has made it clear that a federal integrity commission will be a priority of this new government; that the Uluru Statement will be officially recognised and acted upon; and that the workplace, including parliament, will be a better place for women moving forwards.

It is clear that these important priorities of many teal independents are front and centre for the newly forming government. I hope that a strong climate policy will also be front and centre.

I will continue to fight hard to ensure that our flooded neighbours receive the support and

And just a cheerio call to Bill Ashford and Joff Johnston, I know Bill especially was eagerly awaiting my comments after this election, and I rarely disappoint. When confronted with home truths, Bill and Joff often lash out spuriously in response- with offensive rightist diatribe which is very un-Australian, but they only besmirch themselves.

But fellers don’t despair, this result was vital for all Aussies, we will now have an efficient, ethical Govt.

And finally, continue watching Sky News After Dark as much as possible (while it lasts), for personal wellness, as I’m sure those right-wing crazies will put the best spin possible on this great result. Fellers, remember the jingle, “life will be far easier under Albanese”.

pie shop was busy with visitors and volunteers buying over twenty pies a day, cars and people were continuously coming and going. All gone! Wardell is now a ghost town. All CORE wanted was a one-year lease to finish the job of assisting flood victims.

So where did it all go wrong at the Finance Committee meeting of 19th May? The Mayor led the charge and those on her ticket voted to refuse the request from Wardell CORE to take over the lease of Wardell War Memorial Hall.

Cr Nigel Buchanan, who had a distinct conflict of interest, voted against CORE. But how could this be when he had previously made complaints to Council about CORE giving away free pastries to flood affected victims.

This isa pecuniary interest complaint.

The Mayor told me “We have to look after Nigel” and Nigel told me “He was asked to go on the Mayor’s ticket to keep the Greens out”.

People are living in tents and caravans.

The Indigenous will be housed at Wardell Sport & Rec grounds until their houses are rebuilt on flood prone Cabbage Tree Island after receiving a $70million Government grant. But what about the rest of the flood affected? They seriously need help and they are not getting it from Ballina Shire Council. Originally the Mayor wanted everyone to go to the Recovery Centre in Gallans Road, Ballina. That’s when CORE got kicked out of the Wardell War Memorial Hall.

The Council report says: The core objectives for management of community land categorised as general community use are to promote, encourage and provide for the use of the land, and to provide facilities on the land, to meet the current and future needs of the local community and of the wider public—

Margaret Howes Empire Vale BALLINA COUNCIL It proved business as usual for Ballina Council in granting approval undercover of extraordinary Richmond River flooding for a commercial centre on reclaimed floodplain at the base of Ballina Heights housing estate and notorious Cumbalum highway blockade.

For far too long the area has served as the wrecking ball for bureaucratic backed developers and ensuing record flooding.

The proposed site with adjoining ovals, sediment ponds and nearby bicycle track to Ballina, once formed part of a natural outlet for Emigrant Creek floodwaters to the sea via both Roberts and Deadmans Creeks all now choked off behind the Ballina Airport.

Further upstream lay the Tintenbar valley crippled by this upheaval and additional flooding backlash from a third Pacific Highway and other inane projects where local landholder knowledge was ridiculed in favour of ill-fated official modelling reducing Old Bangalow Road and my adjoining farm to the pathetic cesspit that now exists.

In response to my protests was a vendetta of farm visits from various public officials pointing the finger in my direction to cover their own tracks.

Yet footage I hold on official floodplain vandalism would stand one’s hair on edge.

And let’s not forget my dozens of pre-flooding submissions to officials that never warranted a response yet would have alleviated so much heart break to flood victims had they been heeded.

Those planners, past and present, now in denial, should hang their heads in shame.

John Hayter Tintenbar HYPOCRISY I don’t know whether Andrew Forrest suffers from memory loss or is just a dyed in the wool hypocrite but his screams of anguish over Australia’s continued use of fossil fuels border on blatant hypocrisy. Forrest made his squillions mining in WA using massive earthmoving and mining machinery over many years, that machinery would have swallowed up millions of litres of diesel fuel as well as engine and hydraulic oils, grease etc, courtesy of the petroleum industry around the world. How many tons of carbon would have been, and still is, being pumped into the atmosphere by Forrest’s mining ventures just to fatten his wallet and do you think he really cares? Australia does well out of mining royalties and the sale of products overseas that keep our economy afloat and we know that we need our fossil fuel industry to power our economy until a definite alternate energy source can be guaranteed, we just cannot tie ourselves to every pie in the sky that appears on the horizon. Australia is rich in minerals and no doubt is the envy of a lot of countries in this day and age, China is showing aggression in our Pacific zone in a blatant attempt to bully Australia, China intends to build a Naval base in the Solomon Islands also eyeing off New Guinea as a base.

Ask yourself, for what obvious reason? Australia

is well on the way to being the sitting duck of the Pacific, thousands of hectares of open country covered in glass solar panels with monstrous wind turbines perched up on the hills by the thousands. What happens when the renewables brigade manages to close down all our base load power stations and the aggressor becomes more aggressive, as has happened in Europe with Russia? A few guided missiles into those solar farms would put paid to our electricity supply in a couple of days, the wind towers would be easy meat, the downside of renewables is that it takes so many to provide so little power. But then I could be wrong, and monsters do not exist.

Fred Perring Halfway Creek FAKE VICTORY I would like to congratulate Barnaby Joyce on his stellar performance during the federal election, and the wonderful result in keeping and increasing percentages within their seats. The Liberal party certainly now needs to take a few lessons from the Nationals.

Mr Joyce now has the mandate to demand a greater number of senior shadow portfolios, and a stronger, louder voice within the coalition. I am still quite amazed how the labor party can steal an election with an underwhelming 32% of the primary vote, greens and simon says independent’s obviously gave them the win. Not a lot to be proud of labor.

I can find the courage

within my crushed soul to congratulate Mr Albanese on his win. No doubt the lefty’s are right now gloating on their success. They should enjoy it while they can, it will be short lived. The greatest tragedy is the demise of our treasurer Josh Frydenberg, a true talent and decent human being. Replaced by a novice, a political nobody with votes from the rich, snobby individuals who don’t give a hoot about paying through the nose for electricity, fuel and food or other necessary items.

One wonders about our political system. I do hope Mr Albanese can govern within his own right, and not have to give the Simon says independants any recognition, they deserve nothing. The fickle nature of Aussies voting habits truly baffles me. They threw out Mr Howard for delivering them many years of stable, prosperous government, and now Mr Morrison.

Did he not just guide us successfully through a pandemic with deaths well below international numbers. Did he not get unemployment under 4%, did he not successfully introduce jobkeeper and prevent millions of employees from joining the dole queue, to name just a few great achievements.

Go figure. The prime ministers job is to do exactly that, he is not there to win a popularity contest or be everyone’s friend, he was there to serve his nation, and serve it very well he did.

YOUNG AT HEART… by Nigel Dawe

That youth rhymes with truth is an irony of not just the English language but of life itself that has often brought me more than a quizzically wrought wry smile.

The United Nations deems youth to be ‘all persons between the ages of 15 and 24’; your average dictionary deems it: ‘the time of life between being a child and an adult’.

Clearly dictionaries factor in the sliding temporal lull that this period can exacerbate or elicit in some, and not others.

Having highlighted these diverging definitional points, I’m not your average youth-knocking, big noting old timer. I do it not to mock but to express my deep regard for the exuberance and energy young people typically bring to what they are most passionate about. As one of my own literary heroes, Albert Camus once chimed: “Youth is above all a collection of possibilities.”

Using my own now long since departed youth as an example, I don’t think I’ve ever felt the world around me to be larger, more alluring, or limitless than what I did back then. It is a period I will fondly recall for the rest of my days. The Bulgarian Nobel prize winner, Elias Canetti, perhaps best expressed this swirling sentiment: “Every old person sees himself as a sum total of successful tricks.

Every young person feels himself to be the source of the world.”

When you’re young, being old or even getting old is something supremely non-existent, it is an unfathomably

foreign prospect in light of your own glistening prime. And then one day, it occurs to you that you are no longer what could be considered even remotely – young. Like sitting on a surfboard with your back to the beach, becoming old is a gradual drift until you look behind you and realise that you are not right next to the shore of your youth, but you’ve been carried a full five kilometres out to sea.

That said, I don’t think I’ve ever missed for one moment the season of my youth, in actual fact I lean more towards the consoling sentiments of Virginia Woolf: “One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.” That we seem to accept, see, and tolerate people far more as we age is the actual blessing and strengthening crux of the aging process.

The essence or spirit of youth is something I’d never want to quell or let go of in myself, it is the most invigorating mindset and perspective to carry through our days. Relatedly, the much-celebrated German author, Thomas Mann once said: “To be young means to be original, to have remained nearer to the sources of life; it means to be able to stand up and shake off the fetters of an outlived civilisation, to dare - where others lack the courage - to plunge again into the elemental.”

Councillor seeks action on home raising scheme TONIA DYNAN Councillor Patrick Deegan asked Richmond Valley Council at the meeting last week to acknowledge residents in the Mid Richmond and across the Richmond Valley were preparing to refit their homes and to take actions to protect their homes from future flood events such as raising their homes.

Cr Deegan said residents would prefer to raise their homes before refitting, as the process of raising the home has the potential to damage new internal works undertaken.

He said council would complete its Floodplain Risk Management Plan by late 2023 and would not be able to consider a Voluntary House Raising Scheme until this time.

Cr Deegan proposed the council writes to the State Government seeking urgent support to complete the Floodplain Risk Management Plan to bring forward Council’s Voluntary House Raising Scheme.

He also requested that council ask for the State Government to urgently implement its own Voluntary House Raising Scheme for Northern Rivers residents.

“I guess what the residents in particular really need is some form of certainty,” Cr Deegan said.

Cr Robert Hayes asked what the cost would be to finish the Floodplain Risk Management Plan, estimated to be $200,000, and where the money would come from.

He also asked, if other councils were in the same situation, why wasn’t the State Government putting risk plans in place across the entire region?

General Manager Vaughan Macdonald said at this stage, the Floodplain Risk Management Plan wasn’t funded.

“The flood study’s

funded and the draft of that has been completed and was all but ready to go out to community consultation when we got hit by the flood events,” Mr Macdonald said.

“Subsequent to that, we have received funding from the Department of Planning to review the model against what occurred, so obviously to learn from those events, test the model, so that’s been funded by the State Government and that’s been provided to other councils.

“Once they’ve done that review, obviously we will continue through the process of the public consultation. Once we have the model and we can assess what the model tells us to put together the Floodplain Risk Management Plan.

“We’ve identified that in the flood response document and we assessed it in that document as needing around $150,000 to do that work. We’ve made that aware to state and federal governments that that’s what we need to get on with that.

“I don’t know the timeframe of getting one of those done. Obviously, the availability of consultants, contractors and technical experts at the moment is a challenge in all areas.”

Mr Macdonald said the response from the State Government at the moment was that they were waiting on the outcomes of the

flood inquiry before proceeding.

“They (the flood inquiry) are to report by late June on a number of matters in their terms of reference, and then on the rest of the matters in their terms of reference in September, so the answers we’re getting at the moment is the government is waiting for the first stage of that inquiry and recommendations around house raising, land swaps and the like,” he said.

“The last time I checked in with my team, about a dozen people have indicated an interest (in the house raising scheme) but that was a couple of weeks since I asked for those figures, so there may be more.

“We are very aware that people don’t want to wait, and we get all the reasons why people don’t want to wait, but it is another of a long list of frustrating issues that we are dealing with at the moment.

“Another point to make, is that some of the people who have made inquiries wouldn’t meet the current definition of eligibility for a houseraising scheme because their property is built at the one-in-100 height, where as the houseraising scheme is at the one-in-20, so there’s a big difference there.”

Cr Hayes asked if people who had previously raised their homes would qualify for the new scheme?

“Under the current criteria for the houseraising scheme, which is a State Government (scheme), there are specific guidelines for it, unless that make that change many houses wouldn’t be eligible under the current criteria,” Mr Macdonald said.

Mayor Robert Mustow said he understood the intent of the notice of motion and he noted that at the last council meeting a Voluntary House Raising Scheme had come to council.

“We said we would progress with that, and this it to fasten that up, but in that report we were told that the review of that scheme was only done in February this year by the State Government, so that would need to be reviewed if we are going to get a large number of homes lifted in the Richmond Valley,” Cr Mustow said.

“I’m just concerned, I don’t want to give people out there false hope that if we write this letter something’s going to happen in the next couple of months because there’s a lot of work to be done, as the general manager said, with these other studies, so I’ll be supporting it to try to quicken it up, but I have concerns some people might think it’s going to happen in the next few months.

“I can’t see that happening as we still have to wait for that

flood inquiry to come and then the government will then have to work out how they are going to do it.”

Dr Richard Gates spoke on the matter before the council meeting.

“I am disturbed by the note that council will not complete its Floodplain Risk Management Plan until 2023, a year and half away, and council’s website indicates that the Richmond Valley flood study is expected to be completed by late 2021 and will guide the future of floodplain management actions in Richmond Valley,” Dr Gates said.

“Are they one and same thing? Whatever happened to that study which I understand has been with council since February of this year?

Why has that study not been made available for public scrutiny?

“Yes, I have read Richmond Valley Council’s flood 2022 report which was given to the Premier where it’s indicated that there will be a revision of this draft report, but the reason that I raise this question is that we should see what mistakes were made in that report so that they can be corrected for future reports, and that would be useful feedback from the public.

“I wrote about the deficiencies of the draft Evans Head Flood Study in 2014 and was promised a response from the consultant, but a response was never forthcoming. Those deficiencies included incorrect catchment boundaries which left out several large areas which were not included in the final plan, and which have a substantial bearing on what happens at the Iron Gates at Evans Head and for other areas where houses were badly flooded this time along the WoodburnEvans Head Road.”

RICHMOND VALLEY COUNCIL BRIEFS Superannuation Councillors voted to start superannuation payments to the Mayor and councillors equivalent to the superannuation guarantee payment.

This has an estimated cost for the next of $20,346. The payments will start from July 1.

Capital works The draft budget for 2022/2023 includes a sizeable capital works program of $45.6 million and whilst the assessment infrastructure continues, these projects have not been included in the draft budget.

The major projects include: • MR145 WoodburnCoraki Road Major Upgrade $7m • Crawford Square Playground Redevelopment $398k • Casino Showground and Racecourse Upgrade $5.99m • Casino Memorial Pool $1.085m • Northern Rivers Rail Trail (Casino to Bentley) $6.8m Following the Ordinary Council meeting in March, Council introduced rating relief across the LGA in response to the unprecedented by waiving interest on all overdue rates (rates and water/ sewer charges) for the remainder of the year.

Councillors voted to continue to advocate for a rate relief scheme, funded by the NSW Government; and extend the interest free period on overdue rates charges by an additional 6 months, until 31 December 2022.

The rate relief will have an estimated impact of $59,000 on council’s budget.

Numbers add up for a head shave SAMANTHA ELLEY A successful accountancy career cut short due to illness gave Di Kennedy the incentive to help raise money for the Leukemia Foundation.

“I have a blood condition called myelofibrosis and dysplasia,” she said.

“I was first diagnosed in 2018 after having a bone marrow biopsy.”

Myelofibrosis is a disorder in which normal bone marrow tissue is gradually replaced with a fibrous scar-like material. Over time, this leads to progressive bone marrow failure.

“I was going to do the shave for the Biggest Morning Tea here at the Riverside Village (in Doonbah), but when

it got cancelled due to the floods, I decided to do the World’s Greatest Shave,” said Di. With the help of hairdresser Georgia Spencer, who recently was displaced from her Woodburn salon due to flooding, Di had her long, curly hair plaited, cut, then shaved.

She now sports a very neat and trim hairstyle which she admits gets quite cold in the mornings.

“I have to wear a

beanie after I get up,” she laughed.

“Before I had my biopsy the symptoms I had were constant tiredness and bruising.

“I am on chemo and at some point in the future I will have to have a bone marrow transplant.

“I will be under heavy doses of chemo so will lose my hair anyway.”

Di raised $1,500 for the Leukemia Foundation and the hair has been donated to make wigs.

Flood clean-up tops 100,000 tonnes The clean-up effort in the Northern Rivers region is nearing completion, with almost 22,000 truckloads of waste cleared communities and 940 cubic metres of debris removed from beaches and waterways.

Deputy Premier Paul progress is thanks to the combined effort of emergency crews, local councils, NSW

Government agencies and many others working in the clean-up process.

“Around 105,000 tonnes of waste has been removed from deposited at facilities in Alstonville and Coraki.

That’s equivalent to over 135 Olympic swimming pools,” Mr Toole said. waste is being cleared from the temporary waste transfer facilities

across these local government areas, and as waste collection transitions back into local council waste facilities, the temporary waste transfer facilities in Alstonville, Coraki and Lismore will be stood down.”

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said the clean-up has been an emotional

“Kerbside piles of debris, including personal possessions destroyed by constant reminder of the devastation,” Ms Cooke said.

“Residents who have can also access a free property assessment.

“They will be provided with a scope of repair

works and, if a property is deemed unsafe or beyond economical repair, the owner can have the demolition and removal of waste services undertaken at zero cost.”

Minister for Environment James shoreline clean-up being managed by the NSW Environment Protection Authority is assisting with the removal of

waste from waterways in these impacted areas.

“Debris is being collected from rivers, estuaries and beaches in impacted areas using boats, cranes, barges and hand picking,” Mr “Since the beginning of March, a total of 4,340 cubic metres of debris has been removed from impacted waterways across all of NSW.

Bee stings and hot pies: a yummy combination SAMANTHA ELLEY Good news for Casino residents who love their fresh bread and hot pies. Dave’s Bakehouse has taken over from Casino Bakeries in the Casino Plaza and has been serving up their yummy delights since last Wednesday.

While the owners of Casino Bakeries, Mark and Mescal have moved on after 32 years of the business in the Chivers family, Dave and Jo Sudiro have taken up the reigns.

When the Sudiros opened up their bakery in Kyogle 11 years ago, little did they know how much a part of the community they would become.

“When we first opened in Kyogle we were doing wholesale to Casino, sending

products to businesses down there,” said Jo. “We received an enormous amount of support from the Casino people.

“As our business changed, we had to let the wholesale go but thought we’d love to have a shop there to continue to support

them, especially as some customers drive up here to Kyogle to support us.”

Despite looking at a few shops, the right opportunity didn’t present itself to the Sudiros until the owner of Casino Bakeries got in touch and advised them he was selling up

and his shop in Casino Plaza was available.

“I could see the look on Dave’s face and knew that’s where we were going,” laughed Jo. “We’ve kept all the staff from Casino Bakeries and it looks like we may need to employ more people as

well.”

Over the years, Jo said the Bee Sting (sweet yeast bread layers filled with vanilla custard) has been a favourite in Kyogle.

“In the two and a bit days we’ve been (in Casino) our pies are popular,” said Jo. “And that’s any pie,

we can’t keep up with the demand at the moment.”

The bakery also sells sandwiches, coffee, pies, bread rolls and hot cinnamon donuts.

“We also make cakes to order for birthdays and all celebrations,” said Jo. “I just want people to know that, I know we have taken over from a business that has been there a long time with loyal staff and products and we want to continue that tradition and be part of the community.

“So many people have welcomed us.”

Dave and Jo’s daughter Sophie is running the shop in Casino Plaza, so make sure you pop in and say ‘hi’ while you get your coffee and pie.

Boots on the ground a welcome service for our community Lismore MP Janelle for Resilience NSW’s Mobile Recovery Street Teams to be deployed on the ground to doorknock of South, North and central Lismore have been heeded by the NSW Government.

“I know they were needed weeks, even months ago, but they are here now. I welcome the services on the ground

with our community where they are needed,” “This is so much better than dealing with a call centre,” the MP said of the Government’s weekend announcement of the outreach work and of Resilience NSW establishing a presence at The Koori Mail in the Central Business District; in Goonellabah; and at the old railway station in South Lismore.

“I have made repeated calls for a local presence on the ground; for boots on the ground with their notebooks, for Government Agency representatives to come to local people who need their help the most and to offer face-to-face, practical and compassionate assistance.

“I again raised this issue strongly in Parliament last week

during a meeting with NSW Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke and in representations to NSW Premier Dominic “This door-to-door will be very much welcomed by local residents, including South Lismore icon John Habib JP, who is also from the local SES.”

The Government earlier announced that Resilience NSW’s door knocking program had begun in South Lismore.

Mobile Recovery Street Teams will affected residents with information on a range of and accommodation support on offer, and how to access it.

They will also be providing immediate

assistance in the form of food hampers.

To complement the door knocking program, Mobile Recovery Points will be set up at the following locations: • The Koori Mail – weekly • Goonellabah – fortnightly from 19 May. • Former South Lismore Train Station – weekly

“The categories include agriculture/ sustainable land management, biofuels/ renewable energy, green products/recycling used in building or packaging, water management and waste management.”

School students aren’t the only ones getting involved.

“This year we have a couple of our local

organisations coming on board,” said Dr Cullinane.

“They are wanting to work with the young kids and include Southern Cross University and Rous County Council, who we’ve had for a number of years, The Northern Rivers Times and for the first time Summerland Credit Union with the intention of being with us for a number of years.”

Vice President (Engagement) Mr Ben Roche said the University is constantly exploring ways to solve challenges of the future and providing young people with a platform to be part of that thinking.

“We connect school students to the notion that universities are the ultimate sandpits – places where ideas matter and solutions to complex challenges are

created,” he said.

“An environment to test ideas and collaborate to build capacity in order to excel.

“At Southern Cross University, we are passionate about how we can equip young people as future entrepreneurs, with the capability and confidence to apply their ideas to problems worth solving. The Green Innovation Awards do just that.”

Summerland Credit Union CEO, John Williams said at a time when people are

searching for answers to our climate crisis, particularly after our recent fire and flooding events, projects like the Green Innovation Awards is truly inspiring.

“The awards provide opportunities for our local children to participate in regenerative ideas to provide hope for our future generations - not only of our soils, our farmlands, and the global environment, but also of our cultures, our societies, and our inner psychological wellbeing,” he said.

“What could be more meaningful than taking part in the regeneration of our planetary home?

We are grateful to be included in this wonderful initiative.”

Dr Cullinane said the ideas students come up with are never the same.

“That’s the point of the awards, is to harness the ideas of students,” she said.

“Last year St Ambrose School Pottsville made a trail of fairy houses out of recycled materials and each house had an environmental message that the public could scan via a QR code on each house.

“Bexhill Public School made an entertaining and informational video called Mozzie Busters explaining how to get rid of mosquitoes from their school playground naturally.

“Last year’s winners were Empire Vale Public School, sadly

destroyed in the flood, where they developed a Minecraft world and games to educate people about the threats to koalas which include bushfires, cows, cars and deforestation.”

Dr Cullinane said entries for this year’s awards are now pouring in and the topics are again, broad and creative.

Despite their flood experience, Empire Vale Public School will be entering the competition again this year, according to Dr Cullinane.

“A couple of schools are working on ideas around flood mitigation and housing,” she said.

“For some schools that’s close to home and they may want to do something more fanciful and fun.

“We will leave that up to the teachers to decide.”

Mango Myrtle

Native Essential Oil developed in Byron Bay LARA LEAHY In the native coastal rainforests of Byron Bay grows a wild native plant called the Blue Lilly Pilly. This month, in a world first, after being cultivated, tested and bottled, the essential oil is now available commercially.

“It’s fresh, fruity, summery and lends itself well to perfumes, cosmetics, body lotions and home use. It has been found to be high in monoterpenes, which are considered to have

relaxing, anti-depressant and insect-repelling properties,” reports Greg Trevena, the person behind the oils development.

Mango Myrtle Essential Oil is derived from the leaves of the native Lilly Pilly - Syzygium oleosum. It is commonly found in the coastal rainforests of Australia, particularly in the Byron Bay region.

Greg, a lover of plants from Byron Bay, specialises in researching Australian native species with beautiful aromas

and turning them into unique essential oils.

“This is the first steam distilled mango-scented essential oil in the world. It has never been seen before and I’m incredibly proud to be officially announcing its discovery and launch in Byron Bay,” said Greg.

Greg consulted with Delta Kay, a local Arakwal Bunjalung woman in Byron Bay. Delta shared her local knowledge and the Arakwal Bunjalung people’s cultural history and use of the Blue Lilly

Pilly with Greg.

Delta said, “The Blue Lilly Pilly grows throughout our traditional homelands of Byron Bay and Bundjalung Country. Our people enjoy this juicy, crisp berry straight from the tree.”

Greg found the plant is particularly abundant in places like Tallows Beach, Baywood Chase and along the pathway leading up to Byron Bay’s iconic lighthouse.

Delta went on to explain the benefits of the fruit.

“This purple-blue fruit is one of the nicest Lilly Pillys to eat fresh or used to flavour water or other foods. Its flavour can vary but often is similar to the common mango. We consider it high in vitamin c and antioxidants for good health and treating colds.

The leaves can also be rubbed on the skin, for a nice, fruity, perfume effect. Inhaling the fruity, fresh scent, is uplifting, refreshing and calming.”

Greg initially saw the tree on private property in 2016 and was amazed

by its scent.

“Mango Myrtle smells just like green mango,” hence its name. Greg propagated the plant, and after success in 2017, grew over 2,500 trees on his property in Byron’s hinterland. The first harvest was reaped late in 2021, then the oil was produced and finally tested at Southern Cross University for its health-giving properties.

Mango Myrtle Essential Oil is now available from Essentially Australia.

Community Building Partnership Program Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said applications are open for the 2022 Community Building Partnership program, unlocking $37.2 million for community infrastructure projects across NSW. Mr Singh said $400,000

is available for projects in each NSW electorate, including Coffs Harbour.

He urges local councils to apply for the funds they need to deliver projects with social, environmental and recreational outcomes.

“Local sports clubs,

charities, schools and museums are just some from this program,” Mr Singh said.

“If your organisation or club needs extra funding for infrastructure, such as playgrounds, accessible features, equipment or refurbishment, then I’d

strongly encourage you to apply.”

The Community Building Partnership program has awarded more than $399 million to over 18,000 projects since it commenced in 2009.

“This program means that you can support your

community group to improve the places you meet, train or play,” Mr Singh said.

“Take the time to prepare and submit your application so your community group doesn’t miss out on a share of $400,000.”

Applications close

at 5pm, Friday 10 June 2022. Applicants must read the program guidelines to ensure their club or organisation and proposed project are eligible.

Lismore MP Janelle Saffin hosts former Landcom CEO John Brogden during a site visit in Cynthia Wilson Drive, East Lismore last December.

They are briefed

by Lismore City Council’s Director Partnerships, Planning and Engagement Eber Butron and Acting Strategic Planning Coordinator Andy Parks.

$7.5 million sought for Lismore townhouse developments Lismore MP Janelle Saffin has made a special request to the NSW Government for $7.5 million to enable two townhouse developments in East Lismore and Goonellabah, adding 66 flood-free, affordable units to the city’s housing stock.

Ms Saffin confirmed she had asked NSW Premier Dominic

Perrottet to bankroll the fully costed, detailed proposals developed by Landcom and already sent to Government.

“We are now seeing the fruits of a regional roundtable and site inspections organised by me for Landcom’s former CEO John Brogden late last year,” Ms Saffin said.

“A $7.5-million Government investment

would give the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation two immediate housing projects to drive as we start rebuilding from July 1, providing real hope to the people of Lismore in particular.

“Landcom has briefed me on a planning and risk assessment package they have done on the two townhouse development sites

identified by Lismore City Council – in Cynthia Wilson Drive, East Lismore, and in Bristol Circuit, Goonellabah.

“I’ve been working strategically with others to address the housing affordability crisis we face here in Lismore and across the region.

The floods make it much more dire.

“This is a golden

opportunity to build mainly affordable housing and some social housing out of the floodplain, with an indicative completion date of the end of 2024.

“I’ve also asked the Premier to give strong consideration to including Landcom in the NSW Government’s Regional Housing Taskforce and then as a partner with

the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation as part of our rebuild.”

Landcom -- the NSW Government’s land and property development organisation -- has been consulting with Lismore City, Byron Shire and Tweed Shire councils on potential affordable and social housing projects.

Environmental Citizen of the Year Awards Bangalow Koalas Community Wildlife Corridor in the Byron Shire has been nominated for the Environmental Citizen of the Year for protecting habitat.

Bangalow Koalas Community Wildlife corridor aims to protect habitat for threatened species and ecological communities in the Northern Rivers. Their long-term mission is to

create a Koala Wildlife Corridor to encourage koalas out of urban areas and away from threats by planting 500,000 trees by 2025. With this goal in sight, the organisation has already planted 168,000 trees in just over 3 years.

Bangalow Koalas efforts have led to the expansion of a native corridor from Bangalow to Byron Bay, and it’s now heading further

north to the Queensland border, and south towards Grafton.

Bangalow Koalas started in 2016 with a handful of concerned neighbours determined to prevent a 400-metre stretch of koala food trees from deteriorating.

Now the group has grown into a registered environmental organisation of 140 members who are

educating, involving, and inspiring the community to help save and protect the Northern Rivers koalas.

The Environmental Citizen of the Year Awards recognise individuals and organisations for championing environmental initiatives in their local communities.

The state-wide winners of the NSW

Environmental Citizen of the Year and Runnerup will receive one-off donations of $3,000 and $1,000 respectively, to put towards their community initiative.

The State winners are selected by an assessment panel and will be announced on World Environment Day (Sunday, 5 June 2022).

Andrew Parker, Chair, Australia Day Council of NSW, said: “This

important initiative, now in its fourth year, recognises the incredible efforts from NSW citizens who are working towards creating a more sustainable environment in their local region community.

“These individuals offer inspiration to their local communities and to the entire state - with their stories and environmental projects.”

Grant win drives improvements for Prince Street An initiative to trial changes in Prince Street, Grafton is set to go ahead after Clarence Valley Council was awarded a $495,000 grant from the NSW Government’s Streets as Shared Spaces Program.

Clarence Valley Council is one of 23 regional councils to receive a grant in Round

2 of the award-winning program, launched in May 2020 by the NSW Government, to enable trialling temporary and innovative ideas that build the case for more permanent change for key streets.

“This is an important stepping-stone to implement the Grafton Precinct Plan that

Council adopted in July 2021,” Mayor Ian Tiley said.

“This includes retaining car parking for local workers, while making the street a more inviting and comfortable space to visit and spend time in.

“The project focuses on improvements that celebrate Grafton’s rich heritage by enhancing

Prince Street and will allow Council to improve the connection to the Grafton Waterfront Precinct.”

Preliminary work has been undertaken and consultation will now begin with local businesses and the community before the three-month summer trial program starts late

this year.

“This funding awarded to implement the trials will help boost economic recovery and support our local businesses following the COVID-19 pandemic by improving outdoor spaces, reconnecting community and attracting more people to visit Prince Street,” Clarence Valley

Council Manager Development and Land Use Planning Murray Lane said.

This Program is a key initiative of the NSW Government’s efforts to provide high-quality public open space across the state and is funded by the NSW Government.

Preserving the memory of loved ones Preserving the memory of loved ones can be challenging in the current weather conditions.

Families wanting to ensure the plaques of loved ones are maintained as best as possible have contacted Council’s cemetery staff seeking advice.

Council’s Acting Manager Parks & Active Communities Murray

Smith said there were some simple measures which family members could take to preserve and maintain plaques.

“All plaques are the property of the family and their maintenance and upkeep is the responsibility of the family,” Mr Smith said.

“Council can provide guidance in caring for plaques but do not carry out any cleaning or

repairs.”

Mr Smith said a common issue was with old brass plaques where the paint has faded and/ or the direct inscription has faded on a granite plaque.

“These plaques need to be professionally restored and cemetery staff can assist the family with the process by uplifting the plaque and sending it to the

plaque manufacturer for refurbishment. This is at the cost of the family,” he said.

Some of the simple measures to care for a plaque include: • Dusting a plaque with a soft house duster, microfibre or chamois cloth • Use warm soapy water and a soft cloth (microfibre or chamois) to dislodge any dirt and

debris from the surface of the plaque • Rinse and dry • Buff with a soft cloth.

Never use solvents or harsh chemicals to clean as they will damage the protective coating applied during the manufacturing process.

This includes bronze/ metal cleaners which require direct contact with the metal surface to

be effective.

Do not use any abrasive materials such as steel wool or sandpaper or scrubbing with a brush when caring for bronze plaques.

New technology building quality schools faster High quality schools are set to be built and upgraded faster than ever before, with the NSW Government rolling out a revolutionary new way of delivering schools.

The NSW Government has partnered with the construction sector to develop the ‘pavilion’ model, which allows high quality schools to be delivered in months instead of years.

Pavilions are designed and constructed offsite and assembled in a matter of weeks on the school site, saving time, construction costs and

minimising disruption.

Built is a builder delivering schools via modern methods of construction, including early contractor involvement contracts for the Murwillumbah Education Campus and Wee Waa High School.

Built CEO & Managing Director Brett Mason said Built’s product not only allows schools to be constructed faster, more efficiently and safely but also offered design flexibility, high quality components and strong sustainability outcomes.

“Our fully designed

product can be built 50% faster than a conventional build and provides the flexibility to be designed into infinite configurations to meet the needs of different schools, locations and future growth. It really is the future of building schools,” Mr Mason said.

Minister for Education Sarah Mitchell said the new model would transform how schools were built in NSW and has been a game changer for our students and the building industry.

“Thanks to the NSW

Government’s historic $15 billion investment in school building, NSW is leading the way in school design, manufacturing and technology – creating world leading schools for our students and providing a major boost to our construction industry,” Ms Mitchell said.

“By pioneering the pavilion approach, we are ensuring we can provide permanent, high quality classrooms reducing the need for demountables on our school sites.

“The pavilion approach

has the potential to cut construction time by 30 per cent, and construction costs by 20 per cent, by building schools in a more sustainable and efficient way.

“The sheer volume of school building projects has allowed us to push industry to find innovative ways to deliver schools sooner and reduce the impact on local communities while retaining high quality.

“With a mix of traditional school construction and the new pavilion approach,

we will create schools that grow naturally with their communities,” Ms Mitchell said.

An upgrade at Fern Bay Public School near Newcastle piloted the pavilion model with a total construction time of 12 weeks including just six weeks of on-site assembly. The pavilion model takes the Design for Manufacture and Assembly pilot that delivered new primary schools in Jordan Springs, Schofields, Catherine Field, Denham Court and Wagga Wagga to the next level.

Phasing out single-use plastics from next month New South Wales is phasing out single-use plastics this year, starting with the banning of lightweight plastic bags from June 1.

The ban is for any bag of 35 microns or less.

This includes bags made from biodegradable, and compostable or bioplastics because they do not breakdown without and add to the huge

amount of plastic waste in the environment.

The ban does not apply to lightweight bags used for produce or deli items, bin-liners, human or animal waste or medical items.

Member for Lismore businesses and consumers need to be aware of the changes this year – as they apply to retailers, market

stall holders, online sales, wholesalers and distributors as well as charities and fundraising events.

From November 1 the ban will extend to plastic straws, stirrers and cutlery, single use plastic plates and bowls and expanded polystyrene for take away food.

There are exemptions for straws for people with disability or

medical needs.

Also from November 1 the ban applies to single use cotton buds and personal care products containing plastic microbeads.

“I welcome the move away from singleuse plastics as NSW generates 800-thousand tonnes of plastic waste a year which is threatening our natural environment and killing our wildlife.

“These bans will prevent around 2.7 billion plastic items from entering the coastal marine and bushland environments over the next 20 years.

“There are many alternatives to single use plastics, including bringing reusable bags or using stock boxes at the supermarket, bringing your own cutlery for takeaway, and using

products made from recycled paper, wood or The Department of Planning and Environment website has detailed information for business and consumers about how to prepare for the changes.

Lismore campus to house flood-affected residents Temporary accommodation will be constructed adjacent to Southern Cross University’s Lismore campus to house floodaffected residents.

In an agreement with the NSW Government, the University land – currently a soccer pitch and car park – will be used to accommodate modular homes known as ‘pods’.

The Lismore campus is one of nine locations across the Northern Rivers region selected to house around 800 temporary homes.

Once site establishment work and the connection of utilities is complete, each site will be handed over to a community housing provider who will allocate and manage the ‘pods’.

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience

and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said the NSW Government is working hard to deliver a range of housing solutions across the Northern Rivers region.

“The types of temporary accommodation now in production include caravans, Minderoo pods, self-contained

studio homes and one, two or three-bedroom modular homes, ensuring that a range of family sizes can be accommodated,” Ms Cooke said.

“Housing remains one of the most pressing needs for people in flood-affected communities and is why we’re using all of the resources at our disposal

to get people the help they need now and in the months to come.

“Each site was identified in partnership with local councils and I’d like to particularly recognise Southern Cross University, who have been a fantastic partner for us, hosting our recovery centre, the recent flood inquiry public meeting and

now a temporary accommodation site.”

The University has been central to the flood recovery effort.

The Lismore campus is now home to the Northern NSW Recovery Centre (headed by the Northern NSW Flood Recovery Co-ordinator and NSW Deputy Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon); two

flood-affected schools; Lismore Police headquarters; Business NSW business hub; banks, building societies and credit unions; as well as multiple health and community services.

Many Southern Cross students and staff went above and beyond for their community in the hours, weeks and months since the unprecedented flood event on February 28. From activating the evacuation centre to mucking out flooded homes and coordinating volunteers and donations.

Camera installed to catch rubbish dumpers Byron Shire Council has added a sophisticated new camera to its arsenal as it ramps up its battle against illegal dumping.

The dumping of waste in the bush, reserves and on the sides of roads costs Byron Shire ratepayers more than $175,000 a year.

Last year more than 1,300 tonnes of illegally dumped waste was

reported in the Byron Shire.

Zoe White, Waste Education and said the new camera and surveillance technology will be used in areas that are known hot spots for illegal dumping.

“The new camera is currently installed at an area at Tyagarah, that has cost us more than

$40,000 to clean up in the last two years after people dumped more than 130 tonnes of waste there,” Ms White said.

“To be using money to clean up people’s rubbish is really disappointing on so many levels,” she said.

“Money spent cleaning up after thoughtless people is diverted away from other projects and

then there’s the impact on the environment, waterways and, potentially, the health and safety of our community.”

For several years Council has been collecting data on illegal dumping incidents and this information has been used to identify problem areas.

“We also have small

hidden cameras and the information collected on all these devices will be used to identify and prosecute people who dump waste illegally,” she said. dumping are a minimum of $4,000 and up to $1,000,000 where waste causes harm to the environment.

Signage has been

installed around the Byron shire warning people against illegal dumping and Council has increased its monitoring and enforcement efforts.

People can report illegal dumping on Council’s website.

This project is a NSW EPA Waste Less, Recycle More initiative funded by the waste levy.

New grants up for grabs

One of the most recent recipients of Community Partnership Building grants the Grafton Rowing Club.

Clarence and Richmond Valley not for profit organisations can now apply for a Nationals in NSW Government grant to fund a community project, Clarence Nationals MP Chris Gulaptis has announced.

“In this year’s

Community Building Partnership scheme, $400,000 must be spent exclusively with Clarence and Richmond Valley groups,” Mr Gulaptis said.

“The Nationals in NSW Government Community Building

Partnership program has awarded around $400 million to more than 18000 projects since it commenced over a decade ago.”

Mr Gulaptis said the money must be spent on infrastructure worth at least $5000 per project

and this could include building upgrades, new sheds, disabled access ways, furniture, other equipment or vehicles.

“You will need to show that your project aims to deliver social, environmental and/or recreational outcomes,

and that it will be completed by mid2024,” Mr Gulaptis said.

“Local sports clubs, charities, preschools and museums are just some of the groups that have won grants from this program in previous editions.”

Applications close at 5pm, Friday 10 June 2022. For more information about the Nationals in NSW Government’s 2022 Community Building Partnership Program, visit: www.nsw.gov.au/ cbp

Land provided for skate park in Byron Bay Plans for a new skatepark and recreation precinct in Byron Bay will go ahead this year thanks to Bundjalung of Byron Bay Corporation (Arakwal) RNTBC and Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council, who have generously agreed to make land in the Sandhills Reserve available for the project.

In 2019, the Federal Court of Australia recognised the native title rights and interests

of the Bundjalung People of Byron Bay in and around the Byron Bay area. Arakwal Corporation holds these rights and interests on trust for the Bundjalung People of Byron Bay, and represents the traditional owners of the Byron Bay area, the Arakwal People.

“The cultural Sandhills site is the backdrop to the Skate Park story,” Byron Shire Council’s General

Manager, Mark Arnold, said.

“The land being made foremost a culturally Development in and around the land does not detract from the area’s said.

This exciting project would not have been possible without collaboration between Arakwal Corporation under the Native Title Act 1992 (Cth), Tweed

Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council under the Land Rights Act 1983 (NSW), NSW Aboriginal Land Council, Department of Planning and Environment Crown Lands and Byron Shire Council.

“We are extremely grateful to the Bundjalung of Byron Bay Corporation (Arakwal) RNTBC, Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council, and the NSW Aboriginal Land Council

for their support for the skatepark project,” Council’s General Manager, Mark Arnold said.

“The Recreation Precinct will be an important community space that celebrates through art, landscape and language,” he said.

The Skate Park will cater for all ages and abilities and will include pathways linking to Main Beach, Middleton Street and beyond,

including plans to connect it to the Arakwal Cultural Centre site.

“Arakwal Corporation and Tweed Byron Local Aboriginal Land Council have said they would like to continue working with Council on this project and we are grateful for their expertise and guidance,” Mr Arnold said.

Works on the precinct and new skatepark are expected to start shortly.

ABC, 8.30pm

FRIDAY

THE LIVING ROOM

TEN, 7.30pm

You never know what to expect with this fun-loving lifestyle series – other than a generous serving of childlike shenanigans and playful banter between the presenters. Amanda Keller, Chris Brown (above), Miguel Maestre and Barry Du Bois have the kind of chemistry that morning-TV execs wish they could bottle, but it’s a meeting of minds that can’t be manufactured. This week, the segments run the gamut from silly and witty to heartfelt and thoughtful. Dr Chris Brown is with man’s best friend – coming to the rescue of a dog that needs a helping paw – and Miguel visits Batemans Bay NSW Fire Brigade to say thanks for their hard work during fire season.

You could be forgiven for momentarily wondering whether you are watching Home and Away, or a commercial, rather than a well-acted ABC drama.

Infused with a sun-kissed atmosphere and tales of drugs and drinking, Barons is not a hard-hitting drama; rather it’s a nostalgic, soft focus look back on the heyday of ’70s surfing in Australia, polished off with great costuming and an excellent soundtrack.

The Vietnam War is merely a backstory as we witness the implosion of a friendship and the birth of rival surfwear brands. Tonight, a tragedy will change Buddy (Lincoln Younes, right) forever as he and Shirley (Catherine VånDavies) get caught up in Mac’s (Kick Gurry) Bali dealings.

SCENIC COASTAL WALKS WITH KATE HUMBLE

SBS, 7.35pm

For many of us, the past few pandemicstained years have gifted us a new hobby: walking. This uplifting, visually gorgeous series takes pleasure in the simple act of walking and appreciating nature, and Kate Humble – a woman who has written a book on the subject – is the perfect presenter. Humble has said that “there is something about the rhythm of putting one foot in front of the other that does something really good to your brain,” and even just witnessing her wanderings is soothing for the soul. In tonight’s second season premiere, Humble visits an area of northwest Wales which is new to her, and spots one of her favourite rare birds.

Timber mill listed on State Heritage Register

The Ulong Timber Sawmill and its associated steam engines and machinery have been placed on the State Heritage register.

Member for Coffs Harbour Gurmesh Singh said the sawmill and contains rare early 20th century milling

equipment, some still operable.

“Due to the transient nature of the business, so much has been lost as mills opened and closed where resources were available,” Mr Singh said.

“This highly intact and rare surviving

technology associated of small sawmills that drove the regional economy for almost a century.”

Although the Ulong Timber Sawmill was once a larger complex, encompassing railway land and worker housing, it continues to retain a range of equipment and

The Ulong Timber Sawmill is owned and run by Mr David Timms, whose family helped establish the timbergetting and sawmilling industry in the region and the towns of Ulong and Timmsvale from the

“It’s great that Coffs Harbour City Council is partnering with Mr Timms in developing a conservation and management plan,” Mr Singh said.

“The conservation and management plan will help ensure this unique property and moveable heritage collection will

be around for future generations to learn about this once thriving industry and how its history has shaped the region.”

“Leemo’s View” “Leemo has views on just about anything” and spoke at me!

‘Leems, I was crabby after food shopping ‘cos someone had the cheek to be impolite to me because “I” was wearing a mask. The person insinuated I was an idiot because, according to this person, we don’t HAVE to wear them any more’. (Crikey, what a truly foolhardy but most brave human!) ‘Well, Mum

POSTIES

DO NOT DELIVER TREATS to cats.

‘Leemo Cat’ back.

It was’ Voting Day Australia’ for adults a few days back.

(Wheww..Mum’s side won!) As a cat, I’m vexed that I can’t vote.

‘Mum Jane’ said to NOT carry on. ‘But Mum, there are 6.6 million of us cats in the country. I bet some Candidate would drool (just like us) to win our purry vote and reward us with ‘Fussy Cat’ treats?’ Oh, and Mum told me our house rules relating to our TV on‘Vote Day’ She will follow the results from 6pm till the end, and will even eat her dinner in front of the TV. How GROSS is that?

This meant no “Bluey”, my Saturday viewing treat. Most unjust. I was also told there will be no laser-light or feathers on a stick games, but I might get my evening brush at some point. Oooooh.. many mundane hours lay ahead of me…and the rain continued.

Hmmm. What to do?

I decided to ask Mum in my boredom time.

‘Mum, why were you crabby when you got home from our food shopping the other day, muttering rude words and slamming things? AND, how come you aren’t wearing your hideous hat of late? (Truly, Mum’s hair is more hideous than her hat so this bewilders me.)

I cunningly observed her doing her ‘old woman think’ which took ages. Her glasses came off. She glared

with a karate chop to the knees before being escorted from the store. Is that why you were crabby? ‘NUP, Leems, I gave them a quietly (in a ‘spy’ like tone) told ‘this person’ that COVID is in fact STILL around, and here. Therefore, ‘rude person’, I CHOOSE to wear a mask for my own safety and that of others.’ Mum apparently then walked off, purchased my treats, (plus some for her) and left the shop. She came home and crabbied on here instead. Crikey! Oh well, 1st question out of the way. I moved on to the 2nd. Her hideous hat. She ignored me.

‘Be quiet Leems, it is my turn. WHY must you sit by our mailbox mairiiaow hiss noises at the Postie when mail is delivered? Explain.

‘The truth is Mum; I kind of expect treats for me to come out of his satchel when Postie calls in. BUT NO, all we get is poxy paper.. every time’. OMG, she said ‘Leems, please do check the stuff in our mailbox and EAT all those paper envelopes with windows…go right ahead. Your love of eating crapp may save me lots of loot. I’ll politely explain I didn’t receive the bloody bill when I am arrainged, ‘cos my cat ate it. They can take you away to a cold treatless cell instead Leems..so there!’ That scenario sounds appealingly more ‘peaceful and predictable’ than living with Mum at times. I ‘spose I would very much miss my treats… probably I’d even miss ‘Mum Jane?’ Bysie for now…Leemo.

Plant Power Sisterhood launch in the rainforest region A new Anthology titled Plant Power Sisterhood, was launched at Kyogle Writers Festival under this year’s theme Close to Home?

Edited by Dr Jenny Fraser, whose old people come from neighbouring Migunberri Yugambeh Country, the compilation was ceremoniously presented in an evening multiartform event with local Gullibul Elder Aunty Marcia Brooks along with mother and daughter team Maria and Ellen van Neerven, who belong to the Mununjali people of the Scenic Rim. The Plant Power Sisterhood anthology is a creative response from the matriarchy celebrating the plant life of Australia and challenging readers to

think critically about kinship to the natural world, toward restoring it to the original true splendour.

Publisher Akinoga Press, based in America, originally put out the publication in the spirit of the Black Lives Matter movement of 2020. ‘ “So much time and care and energy went into the production of this book and I’m so thrilled that people get to now enjoy the fruits of so many labors,” said publisher Mykel Zulauf.

The free community launch event was held at the Roxy Gallery with bush food cocktails.

Gullibul Traditional Owner Marcia Brooks screened a premiere of her collaborative documentary ‘Women Cant Burn’ by Pipic Media, Ellen van

Neerven read their poem about Bunya, Maria van Neerven did a live reading of poetry by Yamatji contributor Charmaine Papertalk Green, and Hawaii was represented in the room at Kyogle by Phoenix Maimiti Valentine with a screening of her animated poetry reading video about Noni.

Creative Director Paul Shields said: “The Kyogle Writers Festival seeks to bring the best of contemporary Australian writing to our town, to explore the question ‘Close to Home?’ in this unique area, which incorporates the Traditional Lands of the Bundjalung.”

The Sisterhood is a collective of Indigenous Women Creatives making offerings from countries across the

Hawaii, Guam, PNG, Fiji, Vanuatu and Aotearoa New Zealand.

“We are so honoured that we could have sisterhood at KWF in the rainforest area of the Bundjalung Nation, sharing creative energy by Indigenous Women from around with contributions from Nicole Williams, Charmaine PapertalkGreen, Gabi Briggs, Joycelin Leahy, Ahi Rands, Anahera Kingi, Sarah Taitano, Phoenix Maimiti Valentine, Veronica Cougan, 1AngryNative, Krishna Nahow and Ellen van Neerven,” said editor Jenny Fraser.

Sub funds for a stronger community Northern Rivers Community Foundation is pleased to congratulate Northern Rivers Wildlife Hospital (NRWH) on attaining their Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status.

They are now able to directly offer their supporters tax deductible donations.

NRCF auspiced fundraising for the wildlife hospital through the NRWH Infrastructure Fund while this process was underway.

The Northern Rivers Wildlife Hospital Infrastructure Fund has now been closed and funds have been transferred to NRWH. NRCF has been proud to support the fundraising efforts of this important project since inception, in addition to important contributions from the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE) and WWF Australia also support for the building

and re-purposing of the hospital facility.

At Northern Rivers Community Foundation we are committed to helping grow the capacity of our hard working community organisations who give back and help strengthen the beautiful region we call home.

Over the last few years NRCF has supported sub funds for many wonderful organisations and businesses who are focused on making a

difference in the region.

These include Northern Rivers Wildlife Hospital; COREM (CommunityOwned Renewable Energy Mullumbimby), McGrath Northern Rivers, Crystal Castle and King Family Fund and more recently, Resilient Byron.

Meet lions, meercats, cheetahs and chimps, or become a keeper for the day and go behind the scenes to discover what it takes to maintain this glorious environment.

Experience Uluru at the revamped Ayers Rock Resort When you close your eyes and picture the colours of Australia, it’s the ochre soil spiked with dusty greens and blazing blue that likely come to mind. Welcome to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, the the nation’s largest integrated resort. And the entire complex has been upgraded, from rooms to pools and restaurants and the airport. An array of immersive experiences await, including sunset camel rides, browsing Aboriginal art at the new Gallery of Central

Venture beyond the edge in Western Australia Some 600km north of Perth on Western Australia’s Coral Coast, Kalbarri is a place of towering seaside cliffs and calm beaches, where pelicans glide over National Park, there are vast canyons cut by rivers, and rock formations that are as humbling as they are huge.

Take a dip in incredible new hot springs We all deserve a bit of pampering. There’s no better place to treat yourself than at the new Talaroo Hot Springs in Queensland’s Gulf Savannah region, where extraordinary geological wonders meet Aboriginal hospitality provided by its Ewamian Traditional Owners.

Down south in Victoria, Alba will soon welcome travellers to thermal springs on the Mornington Peninsula. Think mineral-rich baths in a setting surrounded by forward-thinking wineries and food purveyors.

There’s something in the state’s water, with Metung Hot Springs offering blissful moments from 2022, and upcoming Saltwater Springs on Phillip Island promising more than 45 bathing pools of varying temperatures.

Walk on the wild side along Victoria’s Great Ocean Road Many people take in the coastline of Victoria’s Great Ocean Road by car, lingering in sleepy seaside villages, tackling the surf or basking in the drama of rock formations and rainforest. Thanks to Wildlife Wonders, you can also now explore this National Heritage-listed pocket of the state on foot. The company’s 75-minute, conservationist-guided walks offer insights into the wilderness of the Otways, where ferny gullies and eucalypt woodlands nurture a staggering number of koalas. The best fauna.

Test your head for heights in Perth Take a different kind of bridge climb in Western Australia’s capital, where you can now swoosh down from the top on one of the Matagarup Bridge ziplines.

It’s particularly pretty at sunset, when Swan River. Over at Optus Stadium, the Halo experience takes you up 78 steps to the roof, offering stellar city views accompanied by tales of the sporting facility’s history. Lean over the edge if you dare.

Encounter the astonishing Humpback Whales in their natural habitat as they migrate past the coastline between Byron Bay & Ballina. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery in our comfortable purpose-built eco vessel, with individual seating.

Our on board Marine Biologist will share in-depth knowledge of the area and jaw-dropping encounters within Cape Byron Marine Park.

The Wiggles join Falls Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga! Falls is beyond excited to announce that bona fide global superstars and Lil Nas X favourites, The OG Wiggles, are confirmed to perform at all three Falls events this summer!

Following the huge success of their recent sold out 15+ tour and their #1 placement on triple j’s Hottest 100, The OG Wiggles - Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt and Greg Page – are set to create one massive Wiggly Falls singalong when they perform their most loved tracks alongside cameos from characters such as Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog and Henry the Octopus.

Formed in 1991, The Wiggles have entertained generations of fans across the globe with their extensive songbook which includes much loved tracks such as ‘Fruit Salad’, ‘Hot Potato’ and ‘Toot Toot, Chugga Chugga, Big Red Car’.

They have sold over 30 million albums and DVDs, 8 million books, as well as accumulating over one billion music streams and 2 billion views on YouTube. More than 70 album and DVD releases later, The Wiggles have earned 18 gold, 13 platinum, 3 double platinum and 10 multi-platinum awards.

They’ve been awarded an incredible 13 ARIA Awards and were inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2011.

In March 2021, as they celebrated their 30th anniversary, The Wiggles performed Tame Impala’s ‘Elephant’ for triple j’s popular Like A Version breakfast program segment and a wave of Wiggly nostalgia swept over the nation.

Their version of ‘Elephant’ mashed up with ‘Fruit Salad’ later took out the number one spot on the publicly voted triple j Hottest 100.

Don’t miss your chance to see the The OG Wiggles play alongside Lil Nas X, Arctic Monkeys, and many more at North Byron Parklands on 31 December, 01 & 02 January.

REAL ESTATE 51

Property’s time in the sun After the real estate market’s unanticipated pandemic surge, property trends are being shaped by the post-COVID lifestyle expectations of Australians. So where will the next wave of property investment opportunities come from?

At a recent Investor by alternative investment platform AltX, social commentator Bernard Salt discussed the demographic trends underpinning Australia’s property momentum, and the growing interest in private real estate debt in Australia. The highly engaging session, held in Melbourne, focused on opportunities in a ‘new breed’ of real estate postCOVID. Property at the heart of Australian values Australians (baby boomers in particular) for real estate, according

to Bernard. And as a relatively rich country per capita – ranking 13th globally by GDP in 2020 – the place where they feel most comfortable investing their money is in housing.

With recordlow interest rates, Australian investors have been snapping up properties. Investor loan commitments rose 6.1% in January 2022 alone, according to ABS data.

But wholesale investors are also putting their money into the debt underpinning all that activity – investing in private real estate loans through platforms like AltX. AltX research into investor preferences revealed one in two investors say the main reason for investing in private real estate debt is that they know what they’re actually investing in, and 47% prefer to invest in individual

deals. And while they the asset’s capital gains over time, they can expect regular income in the form of interest payments – with 72% saying it offers higher yield than other asset classes.

This makes it an increasingly popular alternative investment option for baby boomers, with 61% of AltX investors agreeing private real estate debt is a core part of their investment strategy in retirement. And that’s not surprising, given that generation has shown an interest in bricks and mortar investments throughout their life.

Property is underpinning business optimism In a recent opinion piece for The Australian, Bernard noted most of the net new businesses created in the 2021 construction – despite

the lack of immigrationfuelled demand in that year of COVID border closures.

He suspects many of these businesses are servicing home improvements and the residential project pipeline. And this breed of entrepreneurs also symbolise the central tenets of the Australian way of life: property, home ownership and being your own boss.

Looking forward, those additional 16,000 construction business owners have plenty of cause for optimism. As do property and private real estate debt investors.

“Australia’s real estate prospects are underpinned by population growth, which remains high by global western standards,” says Bernard.

“As Australia recovers from COVID and ratchets up immigration, this will heighten demand for all types of

real estate product.”

Trend analysis stretching back over a century shows immigration driving demand for housing, infrastructure and more in Australia. And the number of Australians born overseas rose 30% between 2010 and 2020 – largely driven by growth from India, China and the Philippines.

“Australia may not recover to pre-COVID immigration levels, but even moderate immigration will build the case for real estate demand,” Bernard says.

Demand will also be driven by the next generation of homebuyers: millennials. the fastest-growing age group in Australia will be those in their late 30s and early 40s.

Property will be shaped by our post-COVID lifestyles Bernard believes the pandemic has ushered

in a return to Australian core values – including an emphasis back on our homes.

“Today, we expect to be able to work, study, shop and be entertained within our family home,” he says, explaining include a ‘Zoom room’ and home gym in the garage.

He dubs another major COVID phenomenon VESPA: Virus Escapees Seeking Provincial Australia. Those who have the opportunity to work from home are moving to regional areas, within striking distance of a major capital city or centre.

This was especially pronounced in Victoria, overseas, interstate and intrastate migration from the southern state between June 2020 and March 2021.

Lab accredited to grant Extra Virgin Olive Oil status NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) AgEnviro Labs Oil Testing Service in Wagga Wagga has achieved accreditation from the International Olive Council (IOC) for both organoleptic (sensory) and chemistry analysis of olive oil, enabling it to grant Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) status.

DPI AgEnviro Labs Leader, Belinda Taylor, said the accreditation is valuable for supporting

the Australian olive industry, as the only laboratory in Australasia with this accreditation.

“IOC accreditation recognises DPI’s AgEnviro Labs’ Oil Testing Service meets the international industry analysis benchmarks adopted by the IOC, which aim to regulate the quality, purity

and authenticity of commercially available olive oils,” Ms Taylor said.

“With a tasting panel trained to IOC standards to undertake sensory analysis of olive oils, it means growers and olive oil exporters have access to an independent, local laboratory that is qualified to determine extra virgin status or if products meet export standards.

“The accreditation reinforces to producers,

growers and olive oil exporters that the data extracted through the labs’ assessment is quality assured.

“DPI AgEnviro Labs are thrilled to be able to continue to support the Australian olive oil industry by offering both chemistry and sensory analysis of olive oil,” said Ms Taylor.

Ms Taylor explained analysis of the chemical profile of the olive oil or olive fruit determines the quality of the product, whilst oils that undergo organoleptic, or sensory, assessment ensure the oil meets the EVOO standard

requirements.

“Edible oils, olive fruit and oilseeds are unique products, with the quality influenced by a diverse range of factors including variety, fruit or oilseed maturity, harvest time, processing technology, grove management, climate and storage conditions.

“Using their trained palate, the sensory analysis panel determines extra virgin status of olive oil through the assessment of the volatiles or faults of the oil, taking particular note of the odours emitted by the oil.”

End of stellar career supporting industry

Well known NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Technical Specialist (Pulses and Oilseeds), Don McCaffery is wrapping up his stellar career with 40 years of significant contribution to the NSW cropping industry.

DPI Director General Scott Hansen congratulated Mr McCaffery on his dedication to the industry through research, development and extension to support profitable farming systems.

“Mr McCaffery has made an exceptional contribution to growers,

continually providing the best agronomic advice and support they need, playing a pivotal role in growing the grains industry of NSW,” Mr Hansen said.

“Well known by farmers and industry, Mr McCaffery has consistently led key agronomic research and extension work into the production of canola, soybeans, safflower, pulses, rice and maize.”

Mr Hansen noted the versatility of Mr McCaffery’s skills and service, across irrigation and dryland cropping enterprises in NSW. “Mr McCaffery spent his early career in the

!"#$%&

Murrumbidgee and Coleambally irrigation areas, promoting furrow irrigation and bed farming in the maize and soybean industries, a catalyst for a more efficient water use efficient farming system now supporting the southern cotton industry,” Mr Hansen said.

Mr Hansen said Mr McCaffery has played a key role either leading or as a key contributor to many of DPI’s flagship publications and research projects.

“For 10 years Mr McCaffery has co-authored the annual Winter crop

variety sowing guide, a comprehensive publication enabling farmers and advisors to make better cropping decisions and increase profitability,” Mr Hansen said.

“Mr McCaffery has played a key author role in developing the Canola best practice management guide for south-eastern Australia and the Insect and mite control control in field crops.

“His unmissable presence and decades worth of trial and varietal knowledge will be missed by his colleagues at DPI and his associates and friends at field days,

Changes to stamp duty win for farming families Family-owned farming businesses will benefit from new laws passed in Parliament last week that will see stamp duty exemptions extended on the transfer of primary production land to a company or other entity directed by a family member.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the move would help

“As of 1 July 2021, there were almost 240,000 rural properties in NSW worth an estimated $203 billion – these new laws will

help ensure the farming sector continues to go from strength to strength.”

Minister for Finance Damien Tudehope said the removal of stamp duty for family-owned companies, trusts or entities would cut costs and help support the next generation of NSW farmers.

Mr Schembri has been the Cangrowers Chairman since 2013, during which period he also served as Chairman of the Australian Cane Growers Council. He is currently Vice-President of the World Association of Beet and Cane Growers.

Mr Schembri, who decided not to run for re-election in 2022, said today’s sugar industry is unrecognisable from the one he joined in the 1980s, having evolved through crippling low sugar prices, rapid expansion, deregulation and, in recent years, the drive to meet community and government expectations of environmental responsibility.

“The great opportunity that I had was to start so young,” Mr Schembri said.

“It’s a great privilege to represent growers on the state, national and international stage.

fairer proposal, which will modernise family farming business practices.”

Under existing legislation, only a member of the family is exempt from duty tax when buying the land.

There are almost 150,000 primary production properties in NSW that may be eligible for this proposed exemption.

“I felt it was a good time for me to retire and a good time for the organisation to reset.

Renewal is a great thing,” he said.

A meeting in May of the new Canegrowers Policy Council, constituted after the organisation’s triennial elections in every sugarcane region of Queensland, will vote on the next Chairman of the organisation.

More security for coastal farmers Farmers and landholders who have coastaldraining properties will have greater water security following the NSW Government’s harvestable rights increase.

Minister for Lands and Water, Kevin Anderson, said some landholders would now be able to capture more of the rainfall runoff from their properties, boosting their operations and helping

them better prepare for “When it comes to managing water my view is healthy rivers, healthy farms and healthy communities, not one or the other,” Mr Anderson said.

“The NSW Government is committed to growing the economy and this is great news for our coastal farms and businesses.

“As of today landholders, under strict conditions, can store more water for stock watering, domestic use and certain types of agriculture, supporting farming, local jobs and regional economies.”

Water captured through increased harvestable rights will be restricted to certain uses.

There are limitations on where new dams can be built to balance the needs

of the environment and downstream water users.

The increase allows farmers to capture rainfall runoff, subject including that any increase is used only for domestic and stock use and extensive agricultural activities.

It comes after a NSW Government review which included hydrological modelling and extensive

community consultation.

“We know drought will come again which is why we’re acting now,” Mr Anderson said.

“This rule change means coastal landholders can capture water in farm dams during wet times, to get them through dry spells when water is scarce.

“We’re listening to the community and delivering water security where it’s needed most,

but we must get the balance right.”

For more information on coastal harvestable rights, eligibility and requirements, visit: https://water.dpie.nsw. gov.au/licensing-andtrade/basic-landholderrights/harvestable-rights/ coastal-drainingcatchments/

Grants supporting biodiversity after floods Flood-affected landholders who hold private land conservation agreements with the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust (BCT) are being encouraged to apply for flood recovery grants.

Minister for Environment James Griffin said the grants will help to reduce any further biodiversity loss

after the initial impact of the flood disaster.

“The landholders who have conservation agreements with the BCT all protect critically important biodiversity,” Mr Griffin said.

“BCT grants of up to $15,000 per year are being offered to help landholders with initial protection or rehabilitation of their

land so they are not further degraded, and to provide initial support to wildlife such as shelter.

“The overall impact of these floods on the environment is difficult to measure, but these grants are helping to reduce any further loss to biodiversity.”

Grant funding is offered through the BCT’s Conservation Partnership Program on

an ongoing basis, and the BCT is available to support immediate conservation needs resulting from natural disasters.

Activities eligible for funding include fence and erosion repair, track maintenance and native revegetation.

Once landholders have had time to assess restoration needs, the grants can also help

with weed and pest infestations to give native biodiversity the chance to recover.

The BCT provided financial support to landholders affected by the 2019-20 bush fires through a similar grant offering.

During that time, 290 of the 2,000 properties in the BCT private land conservation network were affected by bush

fires.

The BCT provided more than $500,000 in grant funding to these landholders.

Roundtable puts lumpy skin disease on agenda Minister for Agriculture Dugald Saunders has convened an industry taskforce on Lumpy Skin Disease at a roundtable meeting with key cattle industry representatives and stakeholders last week.

Mr Saunders updated stakeholders on the NSW Government’s work in preparing for a possible outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease, and discussed industry

readiness against the highly infectious viral disease, which affects all breeds of cattle and water buffalo.

“Right now, Australia is free of Lumpy Skin detections in Indonesia and Singapore and the recent spread of Japanese Encephalitis Virus from South East Asia into northern and then southern Australia has put the country on

high alert for potential incursions on our doorstep,” Mr Saunders said.

“With the spread of Lumpy Skin Disease in Indonesia, we have lost our only geographic buffer against this destructive disease and now need to focus our efforts on prevention and eradication.

“The NSW Government, through NSW Department of

Primary Industries and in partnership with other jurisdictions, is implementing an action plan for Lumpy Skin Disease preparedness.

“Industry preparedness and coordination is a critical element in mitigating the risk and minimising the potential impacts of Lumpy Skin Disease on producers and consumers.”

Mr Saunders said he had asked the NSW

Department of Primary Industries to investigate the development of a vaccine using mRNA technology, which offers over traditional methods.

“If Lumpy Skin Disease reaches Australia, there consequences for beef, water buffalo and dairy cattle industries, with substantial trade impacts if we don’t act immediately,” Mr

Saunders said.

“That’s why the development of an mRNA vaccine instead of a traditional vaccine will be incredibly effective; it is cheaper, faster and carries less risk to market access.”

The estimated daily cost to the NSW cattle industry would be $6 million if an incursion of Lumpy Skin Disease were to occur.

Grape Expectations by Max Crus

Your call is important to us...

No it’s not.

If it was, a human would answer immediately instead of a robotic voice that a focus group selected (single, white, educated female) sprouting the most acceptable message, as above, or the one least likely to make people hang up.

What they really mean is that your call is not as important as extra dollars in executive’s pockets from not employing enough receptionists.

“Due to the covid pandemic we are experiencing a higher volume of calls than usual”.

They’re not.

It’s called Covid-19 for a reason, surely that’s enough time to sort out They are experiencing exactly the number of calls they anticipate getting away with short of people getting jack of it and shopping elsewhere.

The reason we know this is that the same strategy was used before the pandemic.

How long will we fall for it?

Unless we shop elsewhere, forever.

Heggies Vineyard Eden Valley Single Block Estate Chardonnay 2017, $50.

Heggies have gone to lot of trouble here : GPS co-ords, elevation, row numbers, they probably numbered each grape but didn’t have room on the label. However in case you hadn’t noticed, this is serious next-level chardonnay, so save it for your next-level

However these things are not the most annoying aspects of modern corporate telephone communication, and neither

phrase: “Please choose from one of the following options”.

Paradoxically, this is where you can take charge.

Of course your issue will not be among the options, but do not try to guess which option you think is closest.

What you need to do is choose the option that you think will make the company the most money.

Easily the fastest route to getting a human on the phone.

If there is an option like “I want to spend lots of money”, hit it.

This is often disguised as something like “are you a new customer”.

“Are you an existing customer”, is a lost cause not least because they already have your money and don’t want to give it back and the CEO has lost all interest in you, but also because the next thing they will ask is your

friends and maybe the next election. 9.5/10.

Heggies Vineyard Eden Valley Estate Chardonnay 2018, $35.

If the above is your good-wear chardonnay, this is your everyday garden chardonnay and frankly far easier to drink, not demanding you think about every mouthful. Slosh it around on election night. 9.3/10.

Quarisa 30 Mile Pinot Noir 2021, $18.

Imagine 30 miles of pinot? You’d have to go to Burgundy for that.

This is far cheaper, easier and even better, it’s decent pinot perfect for a trendy Democracy sausage on election night. 9.1/10.

(Quarisa) 30 Mile Riesling 2021, $18.

16-digit customer number, which they will ignore anyway.

How hard can customer relations be?

But surely the most annoying thing about corporate calls, is being asked to complete a brief survey at the end…click.

Oh, how we miss hearing “Welcome to The Blah Blah Company, how may I direct your call?”, like when you last rang a winery?

You never get an automaton at wineries…I hope.

Max Crus is a Clarence Valley-based wine writer and Grape Expectations is now in its 26th year of publication. Find out more about Max or sign up for his weekly reviews and musings by visiting maxcrus.com.au

Possibly not the most sophisticated riesling role admirably when called upon and will sit nicely next to your fancy oysters if necessary.

9/10.

Bent Bridge Brewing (Clarence Valley) Hazy Clarence Australian Ale (Vintage 2022), $65 (Carton of 16 x 375ml).

It’s 25 years since

commercial beer was brewed in Grafton, and many are still bitter at the demise of Grafton Bitter. Well, it’s back, sort of. At least as sophisticated and modern in appeal, this frothy 4.3percenter ale is eminently drinkable and you could (would) easily knock over the whole box with a few mates, if you are rich. 9.1/10.

Parker Coonawarra Estate Draught Beer, 2022, $80 (Carton of 24).

Speaking of beer, everyone’s getting in on it apparently, even wineries. Not sure if it’s brewed in Coonawarra, but it’s 3.5 per cent and Crisp and Refreshing according to the front of the can, which I cannot dispute. 8.8/10.

6 Tips for Storing Seeds Saved From Your Own Garden A little powdered milk can help you grow your favorite plants again and again.

You’ve harvested your summer seeds and now it’s time to store them to help you get a jump-start on next season — but storing them improperly could make your dreams of a bountiful garden fall flat. Follow our easy guide to storing your saved seeds that will save you time and money and give you your best harvest yet.

1. Dry the seeds.

Humidity and warmth shorten a seed’s shelf life, so the refrigerator is generally the best place to store seeds, but keep them far away from the freezer.

4. Toss any seeds pass their prime.

Store each year’s seeds together and date them. Because most seeds remain viable about three years, you’ll know at a glance which container still has planting potential.

2. Stash them somewhere airtight.

Put the packets inside plastic food storage bags, Mason jars with tight-fitting lids, or glass canisters with gasketed lids. To keep seeds dry, wrap two heaping tablespoons of powdered milk in four layers of facial tissue, then put the milk packet inside the storage container with the seed packets. Add a packet of silica gel in with the seeds.

Replace every six months

6. Expect a few duds.

Even if you’re organized, methodical, and careful about storing seeds, accept the fact that some seeds just won’t germinate the following year. Home gardeners will find that stored sweet corn and parsnip seeds in particular have low germination rates, and other seeds will only remain viable for a year or two.

PS

When you’re ready to plant, remove the containers from the refrigerator and keep them closed until the seeds warm to room temperature. Otherwise, moisture in the air will condense on the seeds, causing them to clump together.

Y

If you’re gathering and saving seeds from your own plants, spread the seeds on newspaper and let them air-dry for about a week.

Write seed names on the newspaper so there’s no mix-up. Pack the air-dried seeds in small paper packets or envelopes and label with the plant name and other pertinent information. Remember, if you want to save your own seeds, you’ll need to plant open-pollinated varieties. They’ll come back true; hybrids won’t. You can also dry saved seeds on paper towels. They’ll stick to the towels when dry, so roll them up right in the towel to store them. When you’re ready to

CSIRO STARTS WORK ON MEDICINAL PSYCHEDELICS

Psychedelics have shown promising results for patients suffering from mental health conditions.

Credit: Marco Allegretti CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, is aiming to develop new psychedelics to help people with a variety of mental health issues including depression, addiction, end of life anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

Under a new license, CSIRO will work with local medtech companies to improve existing psychedelic products and develop new ones.

There are many psychedelics known, both natural and synthetic, and CSIRO can now work with local biomedical companies to extract, synthesise, improve and then develop manufacturing processes for up to 15 different psychedelic compounds.

Psychedelics such as methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) or psilocybin (derived from certain species of mushrooms) are currently being tested by researchers in Australia and internationally in strictly controlled clinical settings to see if they could be an effective treatment alongside psychotherapy for mental health related illnesses. Results have been promising.

In Australia, it is estimated that

mental illness each year, with some research suggesting that more than a third of sufferers may not respond to existing treatments.

“CSIRO is well-placed to contribute to this emerging area of research, which could lead to life-changing advancements in mental health,” CSIRO scientist Adjunct Professor Peter Duggan said.

“Clinical trials both here and internationally have been using known psychedelics – usually MDMA or psilocybin (derived from certain species of mushrooms) with impressive results, but there’s still much to be learnt about how these drugs work and how improvements to their chemical composition could enhance patient outcomes.

“By working with local industry to improve drug design and the patient experience, CSIRO can push Australia into a leadership position in the development of these potentially life-changing medications,” he said.

Melbourne-based Natural MedTech who gained R&D funding through CSIRO’s Kick-Start program and are looking to further explore the psychoactive properties of plants and fungi for medical use.

“Natural MedTech is working to develop psychedelic treatments for several unmet neurological disorders,” said Natural MedTech CEO Mark Hestermann.

“Working with CSIRO enables us to work with some of Australia’s leading scientists and access state-of-the art facilities to meet Natural MedTech’s unique requirements.

THE LONG WAY HOME - 2022

WRITING COMPETITION IS NOW OPEN This year, the local Clarence Valley The Long Way Home competition is events on the Clarence Valley calendar.

This year the theme is: Let go.

After two years of COVID, and the we think ‘Let go’ is a good theme for right now. It could mean let go of an object, like a rope, a safety net, a balloon, a leash, the handlebars, an oar, a waterbomb or a plate full of cakes.

It could also mean letting go of your fears, hopes, regrets, bad decisions or bad habits. It could mean letting go of the past. You can interpret the theme any way you like. ‘The Long Way Home’ is about our stories and who we are. It’s about what makes this place so special and unique,’ said the winner of last year’s open category, Kathryn Goldie. Everyone from schoolkids to adults is invited to send something in. The competition is open to new, emerging and established writers. This written something, or perhaps you have been writing for years. Let the theme inspire you, and start putting down some words! We asked Claire Aman, one of the Long Way Home directors, what she expected to read collecting stories from across every part of the Clarence Valley, I can say the local writers just get better and better! Have you read the winners from the latest book? They’re amazing,’ said Aman. ‘So, this year, I want to see how creative our local writers are with the theme. I expect to be surprised, shocked, moved – and to laugh lots.’ is published every year in a beautifully designed and printed book. ‘Stories From the Clarence Valley 2021 - Look Up’, is available online. It’s also for sale at Grafton Book Warehouse, South Grafton Books and Gifts, Coldstream Gallery, and The Nook in Yamba. Entries close 1 June 2022.

While the branch has had a close connection with The Tweed Hospital, it recognises that the new hospital will be located south of Tweed Heads and residents in those areas may be interested in volunteer work when the new hospital opens.

The branch welcomes the opportunity to talk to those who are retired, unemployed or simply looking for a chance to give back to one of our most critical services – our hospital.

There is a range of jobs that can be gift shop, fashion parades, jumble sales and luncheons. People with cars are very important to the running of these operations to transport material to the various venues.

The branch meetings are held monthly and the cost of membership is only $5 per year. There are some procedures that have to processed, such as police checks. Full vaccination is required for those volunteers who are working in the hospital.

So the public in the Kingscliff area and surrounds are invited to talk to our volunteers about our UHA branch of The Tweed Hospital. For more information contact John on 0421 085 985.

MAX PERROT Evans Head’s Callum Robson has won the Boost Mobile Gold Coast Pro at Snapper Rocks on the Gold Coast.

The Challenger all-Australian matchup

between Callum Robson and Sheldon Simkus.

Robson, representing Evans Head, is a current rookie on the 2022 CT and carried over his recent success into today’s Challenger Series Final to claim a win over Gold Coast local Simkus.

The win marks Series victory, following his breakthrough secondplace result on the CT at the Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach last month.

“It’s been a big day for me and an amazing event with fantastic surf and to win is incredible

for me,” said Robson.

“The year to date has been better than I could have imagined. I’ve had enormous support from the entire community from my hometown at Evans Head to surf this tour and I’m stoked to repay them and put Evans Head on the

map.”

Callum is running a fundraiser for those ravaged Northern Rivers.

All proceeds raised will be given to the GIVIT charity and the Mid-Richmond Neighbourhood centre to get supplies to those who

need it most.

Prizes include a signed surfboard by all WSL 2022 tour surfers, full day of surf coaching Australia HPC and more.

Ghosts not crowing after downing Roosters TIM HOWARD The Grafton Ghosts are happy to bank the Group 2 Rugby League competition points, but the 24-12 win over Nambucca Roosters, has given captain coach Todd Cameron plenty to work on.

Walking off a swampy Frank McGuren Field on Sunday, Cameron was clearly not happy with his team’s performance.

“Before we start thinking about winning competitions or playing to learn to be there for the full 80 minutes,” he said.

Cameron said giving up back to back penalties several times during a game, as the Ghosts did on Sunday, won’t always go unpunished.

His team also played 10 minutes of the second half a player short when prop forward Oliver Percy was binned for a high shot that left a Roosters players for several minutes.

“We don’t have anyone to blame but ourselves,” Cameron said. “It’s something we have to work on.”

But he said the wet weather that has stopped the team training outdoors for weeks, hasn’t helped the team develop cohesion.

“I think we’ve got the football in us, but we have a lot to do based on today’s showing,” he said.

The way the game played out backed Cameron’s description of the Ghosts playing well

in patches.

The captain scored of the match when the Ghosts were attacking the Hoof St end of the ground.

Cameron ran onto an to score about 15m from the touchline.

Five-eighth Matt Muller converted.

But for the next 20 minutes the Ghosts squandered a number of attacking opportunities and then the Roosters drew level with a scrambling wet-weather try.

Defending their line, the Ghosts couldn’t control a grubber into the in-goal which Jason Jarrat got his hands on to score.

But the Ghosts had just enough time to take a

10-6 half-time lead when hard running centre Jake Martin crossed.

He wrong footed the defence close to the line just a couple of minutes before the break.

The Ghosts had one of their good patches of football early in the second half. half, the Ghosts opened the scoring when centre Aaron Taylor spun out of a tackle and planted the ball in the left corner. Muller nailed the sideline conversion to make the score 16-6.

Wicks scored the try of the game soon after when Cody Walker made a 40 metre break, brushing off tackles. later Wicks crashed over. Muller missed the conversion, giving the

July racing carnival to launch TIM HOWARD With a little over six weeks to go before the 2022 Grafton July Racing Carnival kicks off on July 3, the time has come to award the naming rights for the signature race of the event, the Grafton Cup. Since 2006 naming rights have come from the members of the Kensei Club, named after the 1987 Grafton Cup winner, who went on to win the Melbourne Cup in the same year.

On Saturday the seven members of the club, local business people and race club backers, will gather at the Grafton Racecourse for the 2022 Kensei Club Dinner Draw and launch of the 2022 July Racing Carnival.

Clarence River Jockey Michael Beattie will host the event.

Beattie said racing in the area has come through the disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in relatively

good shape.

He admitted that club membership falling to seven was not ideal, but all were longterm members who had maintained their involvement over many years.

“It’s become a more exclusive club,” Beattie said. “Whereas in years where you might have a one in chance of winning the naming rights to the Grafton Cup, this year the odds are a lot better.”

He said it was important for local

racing that the Kensei Club stayed viable.

“The simple fact the seven local businesses have maintained their membership during the

had over the past couple of years tells you it’s something people value,” he said.

He said keeping it going kept a sense of normality in local racing despite the recent tough times.

Beattie said the Kensei Club’s attraction was not limited to the major

prize, awarding the winner naming rights to that year’s Grafton Cup. “There are a lot of other minor prizes that offer hospitality opportunities for business through the year,” he said.

These included included a race sponsorships for weekend races and hospitality marquees for major racing events.

“It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “The actual draw is an event we call The Kensei Cup. “It’s done using Uno cards and based on an old racing game called Race the Ace. “Instead of just drawing a name out of a hat, there’s a bit more enjoyment and suspense.”
