From the Editor

June Welcome to the Far South Coast - a beautiful place to spend winter, with cold, frosty mornings leading to clear, sunny days, perfect for bushwalking, beachwalking or the somewhat less strenuous 'walking around the shops' kind of walking. With the long weekend this month, jazz enthusiasts make their annual pilgrimage to Merimbula for the 33rd annual Merimbula Jazz Festival. Featuring all forms of jazz music, parades, Jazz Quest for the under 25s, Jazz Picnic plus Jazz Art. For more information, go to pages 10 and 12. Also on the long weekend is the Bega Valley Rally, this year celebrating its 40th Jubilee. Run in conjunction with the Sapphire Coast Classic for classic cars, the Bega Valley Rally attracts enthusiasts from around Australia. Snug Cove is the place to go to check out the rally cars - see page 5 for details.

Contents Another race meeting happening on the long weekend is at the Sapphire Coast Turf Club. Jazz Festival Race Day is always a great event, with fantastic racing combined with musicians performing live jazz. Golfers will be interested to check out the Ace of Clubs Classic on June 16th - 21st. Entrants play on four of the coast's best golf courses - Tura Beach, Eden, Bega and Pambula-Merimbula for the right to be crowned King and Queen of Clubs. Go to www.merimbulagolf.com.au/play-golf/ tournaments for more information. Enjoy your stay on the coast, and don't forget to watch out for the wildlife on the roads, even when you're in town.

George Bass and Matthew Flinders were the first Europeans to ‘discover’ Twofold Bay in 1798, but the region had been inhabited by members of the Yuin nation for thousands of years, attracted by the rich food resources offered by the sea and surrounding forests. Local Aboriginal people had a strong connection with killer whales, and this included the harvesting of small whales and fish that killer whales herded into the shallows. A permanent shore-based whaling station was first established by the Imlay Brothers in the 1830s, and whaling continued for another century.

For a real taste of life in the whaling industry you can also visit Davidson Whaling Station, the longest operating shore-based whaling station in Australia, located on Kiah Inlet at Twofold Bay. Historic Boydtown is also worth a visit - make sure you drop in to the beautifully restored Seahorse Inn. You can experience some of Eden's history and see the skeleton of “Old Tom”, Eden’s famous killer whale, at the Eden Killer Whale Museum. Eden is now famous as a destination for whale-watching, with migrations occurring in late autumn and spring. The Sapphire Coast Marine Discovery Centre, located on Main Wharf, has displays of the local marine environment.

‘Strike’ tells the tale of Eden's tuna fishing industry In 1949, Eden’s fishing industry faced economic ruin. The two main fishing species of barracouta and salmon failed to arrive along the coast, leaving local fishermen wondering what to do next. Tuna was the answer. Thousands of tons of tuna could be found close to shore during the annual migration to spawning grounds off Tasmania. Fishermen at Bermagui claimed there were so many that they ‘could walk from their boats to the shore on the fishes’ backs’. Up until then, there was no market for Australian caught tuna either in Australia or overseas. With the reduced catch of salmon and barracouta the fishermen turned to tuna as a means to make their way clear of the poor season. Mostly caught by trolling up to seven lines, around 300, 000 pounds (136 kg) of tuna was caught in the first four weeks. Most of the tuna weighed around 20 pounds (just under 10 kg). Further out to sea, Commonwealth fisheries officers located schools of

EDEN

tuna weighing up to 50 pounds (22.6 kg). The season saw 1,000 tons of southern bluefin tuna landed at port and was mostly caught by fishermen using improvised equipment and learning the habits of the fish as they went. On 24 September 1950, the American owned tuna clipper Senibua (with its own spotting aircraft) arrived in Sydney and began to prepare for experimental pole fishing for tuna in Australian waters. On its first cruise in October in waters near Jervis Bay, Senibua poled 6 tons of southern bluefin in 40 minutes. The visit by the clipper was seen as an opportune time for Australian fishermen to learn tuna poling methods from experienced crews, assess tuna poling against purse seine netting, and explore the commercial viability of Australian tuna resources. Tuna poling involved the ‘chumming’ of waters, where either dead or live bait was thrown into the school of tuna to create a feeding frenzy. While tuna were actively feeding, fishermen stood in racks attached to the sides of the fishing vessel, and cast long lines with barbless feather lures or live bait. The fish strike the lure and once hooked, fishermen haul their long fishing poles overhead where the fish dislodge during the change in tension of the swinging action. The line and lure is then cast out again as quickly

Now

as possible to maximise the catch numbers while the feeding frenzy is at its peak. If fish proved too large for a single pole fisherman, the pole configuration changed to double and triple polers which allowed two or three men to haul in a single fish. In the early 1960s, experiments began on mechanical poling machines. While they had benefits, vessels still required crews to resolve mechanical and fish release failures and stow the catch. A dangerous occupation, fishermen have been lost when hauled overboard by large tuna, and entire crews of vessels have vanished in poor weather conditions. This exhibition examines the evolution of methods and equipment associated with tuna pole fishing, and pays tribute to the fishermen who worked in the physically, financially and emotionally demanding industry of tuna poling. Strike is open until 11th August 2013. Below left: Estelle Star, 1961. Photograph by Don Edwards. Courtesy National Archives of Australia Below: Double poling tuna, c1960s. Courtesy of J Mathieson

Bega Valley Rally celebrates its 40th anniversary courtesy of Forests NSW. Also included in the course are three shire roads – The Snake Track just south of Eden, and Wangarabell and Wallagaraugh Roads in Victoria. Permission to use the roads has been given by the Bega Valley and East Gippsland Shires. The cars will arrive back in Eden between 3.30pm and 7pm, and the crews will then stay overnight to attend the presentation of awards at the Eden Fishermen’s Club. The Bega Valley Rally will attract the leading Championship crews from both states, together with many others

who enjoy driving competitively in car rallies conducted under safe and well organised conditions. The event is run under the auspices of the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport and with police permission. Two medical cars each containing paramedics and medical equipment are placed around the course in case of an incident requiring medical treatment. All in all this event, conducted on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, is considered to be the best in the twostate rally championships.

The Bega Valley Rally, conducted along the Far South Coast since the 1960s, will celebrate its 40th Jubilee of attaining its name from when it was first based at Bega in 1973. Now based at Eden, the event will be run on Sunday 9 June, and will again be a round of both the New South Wales and Victorian Rally Championship, the only event to have a dual state championship status. It will also be a round of the ACT Regional Rally Series. The Bega Valley Rally is also conducted in conjunction with the Sapphire Coast Classic, an event specifically for ‘Classic Cars’ built prior to 1985. Many of these cars competed in the Bega Valley Rally in the 1970s and 1980s. Attracting a field of some 80 cars, together with an equal number of service crew vehicles, many spectators and 60 officials to conduct the event, the combined events will see some 450 people spend the long weekend in Eden. Gathering on the Saturday for crew documentation and a safety scrutiny of the cars, the crews will start the event on Sunday from Snug Cove between 7.30 and 10.30am, leaving at two minute intervals. They will then contest 11 special stages totalling almost 200 kilometres over the smoothest rally roads in the country, using the forests to the west and south of Eden,

Pambula River © Paul Callaghan Caption for photograph © Photographer

Pambula The Pambula River floodplain was for thousands of years a source of food and materials for the Thaua people of the Yuin nation. Europeans first explored the region during George Bass's southern voyage of 1797. Seeking shelter from a gale, Bass travelled up the Pambula River, noting its beauty in his diary. A marker has been erected by the National Parks and Wildlife Service on this historic site. European settlement began in the 1830's, with the original township built on the southern banks of the Pambula River. Severe flooding in the 1860s meant the town had to be re-located to its present site on higher ground. In 1888, gold was discovered on the banks of the Yowaka River, and by 1891 there were eleven mining companies in operation at the Mount Gahan site. Pambula’s historic past is very much in evidence today, with beautifully restored and maintained historic

www.farsouthcoastimag.com.au

buildings and farmhouses. Pambula today has an eclectic mix of businesses, with art galleries, cafes, restaurants, gift shops and pubs. It's a great place to shop for something a bit different. At the southern end of the town is Panboola, a fantastic community conservation and heritage project that has transformed this part of Pambula over the past 10 years. Covering former farmland, areas of saltmarsh, billabongs and the former Pambula Racecourse, the area has been extensively re-planted and has great walking and cycling tracks. The old race track is a great spot for the kids to cycle around, with the centre of the track often inhabited by kangaroos. Just 5 minutes east of the village is Pambula Beach, set between the ocean, the mouth of Pambula River and Ben Boyd National Park. Pambula Beach has an excellent

swimming beach patrolled by the Pambula Surf Life Saving Club, a dog friendly beach at Middle Beach and the beautiful Pambula Rivermouth is great for families. Heading south toward Eden turn off the Highway to Pambula Lake, where there’s a boat ramp for launching vessels. Several oyster growers sell fresh Pambula Lake oysters here too, including Broadwater Oysters.

Local takes out second prize in oyster-shucking contest Broadwater Oysters from Pambula Lake were once again involved in recent the Narooma Oyster Festival. Not only did Greg Carton and Sue McIntyre supply 200 dozen opened Sydney Rock Oysters for the Festival Oyster Bar, Sue travel was one of four oyster farmers to present the Ultimate Oyster Experience. More than 100 guests were served 1 dozen Sydney Rock oysters, comprising three oysters sourced from four South Coast estuaries and one Angasi (native flat) oyster. Sue then went on to compete in the NSW Farmers Oyster Shucking Competition, racing against 8 other competitors, with speed and presentation determining the winners on the day. Former World Champion Oyster Shucker Jim Wild officiated over the event. Sue made it into the final, along with Jim Yiannaros of Batemans Bay Oysters and Cheryl Colburn of Bodalla. Jim won the comp; opening, cutting, turning and presenting his 30 oysters in a blistering 2 minutes and 48 seconds. Sue came second with a very respectable time of 3 minutes 36 seconds, and Cheryl came in 3rd in just over 6 minutes. Sue said "The Narooma Oyster Festival is a fantastic showcase of the South Coast oyster industry. The oysters on display were in fabulous condition for

this time of year - some of the best ever for the Oyster Festival. The Oyster Shucking Comp was great fun - I'll definitely be sharpening up my knife for next year." 'Australia's Oyster Coast' was launched by NSW Minister for Primary Industries, Katrina Hodgkinson. 'Australia's Oyster Coast' will become a destination for oyster lovers to travel through, sampling the oyster delights of each estuary. Broadwater Oysters are members of Australia's Oyster Coast, and if you drop into their shop at Pambula Lake you can have your oysters freshly shucked by Sue.

Tathra

www.farsouthcoastimag.com.au

With beautiful beaches, estuaries and National Parks all close by, Tathra is an ideal holiday destination for both families and couples. Tathra’s famous historic Wharf was built in 1862 from funds donated by farmers and the Illawarra Steam Navigation Company. The location of the Wharf was chosen as it was the only suitable site between Merimbula and Bermagui, with protection from southerly winds provided by the adjacent headland. Passengers travelling to Sydney shared the journey with local produce, and often pigs on their way to market, hence the name "Pig and Whistle Fleet" in relation to the Tathra steamships. Because there was no railway line or decent roads, the steamer service was crucial to the region, and it continued to operate until 1954. The Tathra Wharf is now classified

by the National Trust as the only remaining steamer wharf on the Australian coastline. Swimming at Tathra’s patrolled beach (summer only) may provide the added bonus of a dolphin sighting, and passing whales, heading south on their migration, are frequently seen from September to November. Bushwalking, kayaking, mountainbiking, snorkeling and surfing are all popular around Tathra. is a popular spot for fishing. There are lots of things for the kids to do, with a fantastic skatebowl suitable for skateboards, bikes and scooters, and a great playground, both located near the Tathra Surf Lifesaving Club. An easy 3km walking and cycling track runs from Tathra to the mouth of the Bega River at Mogareeka, with other walks around town as well. Direct access to the ocean is available at Kianinny Bay (also good for

Tathra Beach

Located directly opposite Tathra’s famous surf beach

Country Club

swimming), and the boat ramp at Mogareeka provides an easy launch into the Bega River estuary. Tathra also has great places to eat, ranging from gourmet delis to cafés and restaurants. On the 27th - 28th April, Tathra will be taken over by mountain bike enthusiasts competing in the third annual Tathra MTB Enduro. See page 19 opposite for more information.

Spend an hour, a day or more walking in the National Parks and reserves of the Region. The walks featured here are some of the more popular ones, but there are many short and medium distance walks available at almost all destinations within National Parks in the region. Ask at a NPWS office or local tourist information centre about others. Please note that for all these walks, strong footwear should be worn, carry food and water, and take clothing suitable for changing weather conditions.

1. The Big Hole/Marble Arch Deua National Park 4km return Approx. 1.5 hours Big Hole 13km return Approx. 5.5 hours Marble Arch

The north-western section of Deua National Park is a karst or limestone layer containing 400 million year old cave systems. The Big Hole and Marble Arch are two fascinating features which can be seen without going underground. Please note that permission is required to enter some caves. The walk starts from Berlang Camping Area, 45 minutes drive south of Braidwood along the Krawarree Road. After fording the knee-deep Shoalhaven River, an easy walk leads to a viewing platform from where the remarkable Big Hole, a chasm some 96 metres deep and 50 metres wide, can be safely viewed. The resident lyrebird may appear in the early morning or late afternoon when it comes out to feed. The track to Marble Arch continues from below the viewing platform. From the base of the hill the track is gently undulating until the very steep 150 metre descent into the Marble Arch. Wide bands of marble can be seen in the walls of the canyon and cavern roof and beautiful ferns cling to the lower sides of the canyon. Please note: The Shoalhaven River may become impassable after heavy rain. Do not enter the Marble Arch if Reedy Creek has risen or there are storms in the area.

Tilba Living History

Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba lie on the slopes of Gulaga, a place of great spiritual significance to people from the Yuin nation. Named Mt. Dromedary by Captain Cook in 1770, gold was discovered on the lower slopes of Gulaga in the 1860s. Many of Tilba’ s buildings were constructed in the late 1880s when the gold boom was at its peak. The entire village of Central Tilba was classified by the National Trust in 1974 in recognition of its historical significance. The village has become a centre for crafts people and artisans, as well as ‘old-fashioned’ stores like the general store, lolly shop and toy shop. Shops with leather work, unusual clothing, cafes, antiques and gift ware, as well as the pub, art studios, and the famous Cheese Factory are all located on Central Tilba’s main street.

Eight Far South Coast artists interpret the journey and express the links of past and present that connect Canberra and the coast. 7th - 26th June: 'The STOCKROOM', clearance of stock from 16 artists' studios: paintings, prints, ceramics, vintage clothing plus Afghani rugs. 28th June - 24th July: 'A Plethora of Postcards', hundreds of miniature artworks, postcard size.

Montague Island, with its spectacular lighthouse, little penguin and fur seal colonies and Aboriginal heritage. Further north, the township of Moruya also has beautifully preserved heritage buildings and streetscapes and is a great place to explore. It’s famous for supplying the granite used in the piers of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, as well as Sydney’s Post Office, the Bank of NSW and the Cenotaph in Martin Place. These days however, Moruya is known for the large, intricately carved wooden poles that are dotted along the footpath of the main street. Fantastic cafes, restaurants and pubs with live music can also be found in this bustling little country town that has lots to offer.

Original Gold Rush Colony, Mogo

Mogo The township of Mogo was born when gold was discovered in the early 1850s at Cabbage Tree Creek. Estimates of the number of diggers who converged on the town range from a conservative 200 to an unlikely 20,000.

www.monthlyimag.com.au

www.farsouthcoastimag.com.au To experience what the town was like during the boom, a visit to the Original Gold Rush Colony is a must. Located in a natural Australian bush setting on 4.5ha, the Original Gold Rsuh Colony, formerly known as Old Mogo Town, is a great place to step back in time. After taking out the award for Cultural and Heritage Tourism at the South Coast Regional Tourism Awards in 2008, 2009 and 2010, in 2011 the Original Gold Rush Colony won the Heritage and Cultural Tourism - Hall of Fame award. Mogo is now famous for its great range of specialty stores, housed in replica nineteenth century timber buildings. There are potteries, galleries, antique stores, bookshop and coffee shops, many of which specialise in unusual and interesting items. Mogo is the perfect place to spend time browsing for something a little bit different.

Also in Mogo is the internationally recognised Mogo Zoo. Providing world standard facilities for over 200 animals of more than 39 rare and exotic species, Mogo Zoo is committed to the survival of endangered species, including the rare white lions of ‘Timbavati’. Mogo Zoo also won their category at the 2011 South Coast Regional Tourism Awards; they won the award for the best Tourist Attraction. Congratulations to the Original Gold Rush Colony and Mogo Zoo on their recent awards - they certainly did Mogo proud.

What to See & Do Step back in time and pan for gold at the Gold Rush Colony Go mountain-biking on the trails in nearby State Forests Take a stroll around town and explore the interesting shops

Batemans Bay

www.farsouthcoastimag.com.au

Like many coastal towns, Batemans Bay, settled by Europeans in the 1820s, relied on timber, ship building, dairying and fishing as its main source of income over the past 200 years. The town is accessed from the north by its famous lifting span bridge, the oldest of its type in Australia. Now a thriving regional centre and major tourist destination, people come to Batemans Bay from all over Australia for its natural beauty. Situated on the banks of the magnificent Clyde River, water is deeply ingrained in the culture of ‘the Bay’. Swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, surfing and diving are all within easy reach of town. The Batemans Marine Park ensures that the coastal environment is protected for future generations. Hire a boat, kayak or a houseboat to explore the spectacular upper reaches of the Clyde River.

Batemans Bay is a great destination for families, with its array of outdoor activities and attractions such as minigolf, a cinema, animal park, tennis and a carnival in summer. There are lots of great national parks to explore within easy driving distance. Enjoy the scenery along the Kings Highway on the way to the historic town of Braidwood with its beautiful buildings and interesting shops. The Bay is famous for its Clyde River oysters, and there are plenty of cafes, restaurants, clubs and hotels offering local seafood on the menu. Follow the coastline south to explore beautiful beaches to be found at Malua Bay, Rosedale and Broulee. Head north to Durras Lake for a spot of fishing, bushwalk in the Murramarang National Park or say hello to the kangaroos at Pebbly Beach.

Kayaking & canoeing in the land of many waters Eurobodalla, land of many waters, is kayaking heaven with four major river systems, 20 lakes, 83 beaches and many islands along 130 kilometres of Batemans Marine Park coastline. Thinking about kayaking around the Eurobodalla this autumn? Listed below are some great flatwater and sea kayaking routes, courtesy of Eurobodalla Coast Tourism's Kayaking & Canoeing brochure. Take a more detailed map if you’re paddling somewhere new and without a guide, or pick up the brochure from one of the Eurobodalla Tourist Information Centres. Here are some important safety tips to remember when you undertake any of the routes in this guide: Be Seen-Be Safe - Wear bright coloured clothing. Keep out of mooring areas (where other boats hide your presence). Water safety - Be aware of water safety rules and procedures with information from boating, marine or water sports organisations. Skills - Take a lesson if you need to. Instruction is available in Eurobodalla for all levels of kayaking skills. Safety Vests - Always wear a life vest or life jacket. Helmets - Recommended for surf and white-water kayaking and when paddling near rough water and rocks. Paddle with someone If possible and tell someone where you will be going and when you expect to return. Maps - Take a map with you if you are not familiar with the route. Be aware of local conditions - Including

currents, tides, water levels, shoreline variations and special hazards. Check the weather - Plus know about likely changes, such as offshore winds that may occur. Wind - Will slow down paddling and the extra effort required will tire you more quickly than normal. Also think about offshore winds – don’t get blown away from shore. Waves - Can be larger than expected and can change in size depending on water depth. Tides - Can be strong and having to paddle against the tide can make you tire quickly. Tidal flow against the wind direction will make waves steeper and water more choppy – plan your paddle according to tides. Surf - Check the conditions and stay away from swimmers. Emergency Contact. Phone 000 Emergency Services.
