VETERANS REMEMBER
FROM Page 1
The date was originally ‘Long Tan Day’, the anniversary of the infamous Battle of Long Tan, in which just over 100 Australians, and three New Zealanders, faced off against over 2000 Viet Cong in 1966.
“Vietnam Veterans’ Day has become more allencompassing for all surviving vets and peacekeepers, but it will always be Vietnam Vets
Day,” said Terry Munright, Secretary and Treasurer of the Tea Gardens RSL sub-Branch.
Local Vietnam War veteran Merv Mills told NOTA the date is a time to “commemorate all those who served in conflicts to date, to commemorate friendship and mateship”.
Originally called up in late 1966, Merv returned to Vietnam two years later, amidst the series of surprise attacks by the Viet Cong
known as the ‘Tet Offensive’ in January 1968.
After leaving Mascot airport at 4am, his flight was diverted across the continent to take on special forces personnel, then hopped north and was diverted from Saigon.
“You didn’t know any of the other guys who were there with you, had nothing in common with the bloke in front of you other than a birthdate, but we still have friendships from those who went, memories that will never leave you,” Merv said.
The realities of Vietnam War conscription are often lost on younger generations, such as the fact that thousands of young Australian men in their early 20s were drafted and sent off to fight in sweltering jungles, let alone the political and physical realities of the war at large.
Upon arrival back in Australia, many veterans were subjected to abuse due to the unpopularity of the war.

More sand renourishment for Jimmys Beach
MIDCOAST Council will commence sand renourishment of Jimmys Beach at Hawks Nest this month to reduce the risks associated with coastal erosion in the area.
MidCoast Council’s Director of Engineering and Infrastructure Services, Robert Scott, said the sand buffer which provides temporary
protection to the coastline is constantly being eroded by the ocean.
This short-term solution aims to provide some protection as well as maintaining beach amenity.
“Sand renourishment is undertaken to provide a buffer to reduce the risk of erosion impacts on assets such as the road,” he said.
Works will take place
between 18 August and 30 September, weather permitting.
Please follow signage and directions from work crews during work.
Jimmys Beach is located on the Winda Woppa peninsula at Hawks Nest.
It is one of 15 coastal areas identified by the NSW Government as a coastal erosion hotspot.
Dredging of the Myall River provides the sand for the program.

Superannuation is one of the largest assets of Australian families, but what is it really worth? In Australia, the most common types of superannuation are:
Accumulation interests: where the value of the fund is calculated by the value of the contributions made by the worker/employer and any income earned on investments. Its value is usually the same as the figure that appears on the annual statement issued by the fund.
Defined benefit interests: are usually attached to government workers. Its value is determined in whole or in part by a formula, including elements such as years of service and final income. They often also involve an accumulation interest element. Generally, an actuary or forensic accountant is required to value the interest, which is often different to the figure that appears on the annual statement.
veterans of Vietnam did not receive a commemoration day or recognition until the late 1980s.
For local veteran Peter Gurney, a separate date allows veterans to interact more freely.
“Most of the reunions were on ANZAC Day, but many older guys now have roles in their sub-Branches, so we could not reunite in other locations,” Peter explained.
“A lot of guys now use 18
August to have reunions they could not have on ANZAC Day.”
Peter was a truck driver in the 86th Transport Company, the largest Australian unit of its kind in Vietnam.
Upon being drafted, he was ordered to load up the HMAS Jeparit with supplies because wharf workers were striking.
“As soon as I arrived in Vietnam, the first thing they told me to do was to unload the HMAS Jeparit,” he said.
“The 18th August is definitely a day for
remembrance, isolated from ANZAC Day, concentrating on the Vietnam campaign.
“Vietnam vets are very tight, we have reunions and contact with most of the guys we served with; friendship is still there.”
This year also marks the 85th anniversary of the end of WWII.
The Vietnam Veterans Day service will begin at 11am on Monday 18 August at ANZAC Park, Marine Drive, Tea Gardens.
Self-managed superannuation:
is increasingly popular in Australia. Often assets held within the fund have fluctuating values, such as properties, and will not be valued each year, so the value set out in the annual statement may not accurately set out the actual entitlement if there has been a change in the value of the asset within the fund (which has recently been an issue due to the rise in the property market).
Most workers are unconcerned about the precise value of their superannuation until it is time to retire, rollover to another fund or splitting superannuation for a family law property settlement. At those times it is important to accurately determine the value of your superannuation interest, and as you can see, that value may not be as it first seemed.

Sea turtles washing up on Port Stephens beaches
By Thomas O’KEEFE
MULTIPLE sea turtles have been found washed up on beaches between Anna Bay and Hawks Nest in recent weeks.
Irukandji Shark and Ray Encounters has confirmed that up to 16 turtles have now been found - some dead, others alive and in distressaround the region in the last three weeks alone.
One such turtle was discovered earlier this month by Tea Gardens local Carolyn Fredericks at Bennetts Beach, Hawks Nest.
“I was walking along Bennetts Beach when I saw something in the water from a distance,” Carolyn told NOTA.
“It disappeared under the waves a few times, then I realised it was getting pummeled.”
Concerned for the animal’s health, Caroyln waded through the giant waves and strong winds to help the turtle to the shore.
causes all sorts of events, toxins in water, as well as issues that reptiles do not tolerate,” he said.
She was advised by wildlife rescue organisation WIRES to get the turtle to her car.
She then met WIRES volunteers at Raymond Terrace, who took the turtle to Irukandji at Anna Bay for treatment.
Carolyn was also asked to name the animal, which she called ‘Rikki’ after the memory of a past holiday.
“The WIRES people said the recent murky water has allowed some parasites or flukes to grow and get into the turtles’ brains,” Carolyn said.
“They have counted up to 15 sick turtles in a short period of time, as well as other creatures.”
Ryan Pereira, owner of Irukandji Shark and Ray Encounters, told NOTA that the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) are currently looking into an “environmental event” to identify the cause.
“The excess of rain
Upon reaching the sand, Carolyn noticed a large hole, roughly six centimetres across, in the turtle’s back shell.
“Especially around the estuaries, where a lot of human building has gone on, it can disturb the concentration of acid sulphate soils.
“You get massive runoffs into the water affecting the environment, and we are not sure if it is bacterial or toxins.”
If you find a beached turtle, Ryan recommends contacting NPWS or the team at Irukandji.
“If you see one, please do not try to put it back into the water as they try to beach themselves when they are sick,” he said.
“We [Irukandji] can run tests to see what is really going on, and the more information we have the better for determining what is killing them.”
Rikki has sadly succumbed to her injuries, which were extensive, including a lung virus and parasites that entered the hole in her shell, which may have originally been caused by an impact with a boat or personal watercraft previously.

MPs call for disaster declaration
THE Members for Lyne, Myall Lakes and Upper Hunter are calling on the state and federal governments to declare last weekend’s flooding across the region as an additional disaster event, enabling affected landholders and primary producers to access further support.
With farms and paddocks across the Hunter and Mid North Coast regions once again inundated, Federal Member for Lyne Alison Penfold says governments
must act quickly to address the escalating impact on producers, many of whom are still recovering from earlier floods this year.
“Farmers in our region have already faced enormous challenges, and this latest flooding has hit paddocks that had only just been sown,” Ms Penfold said.
“The ground is completely sodden, crops are destroyed, and there’s a real concern about a looming fodder shortage in the months ahead.
“Together with my local state colleagues (Upper Hunter MP Dave Layzell and Myall Lakes MP Tanya Thompson), we’re calling for Category D assistance –including the $10,000 Rural Landholder Grant and the $75,000 Special Disaster Relief Grant – to be made available in response to the latest flooding.
“It must be declared as a new event so affected producers can once-again access the support they need.”
The MPs are also calling for a change in how the grants are allocated, urging governments to allocate grants per property rather than per ABN, to ensure fairer access to support across affected farm holdings.
“Support must reflect the reality on the ground,” Ms Penfold said.
“Farmers with multiple properties under a single ABN are effectively penalised under the current arrangements, and that needs to change.”
‘My First Speech’ competition
THE Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Hon. Milton Dick MP, has launched the “My First Speech" competition for high school students across Australia.
Federal Member for Lyne Alison Penfold is encouraging students from across the electorate to take part in this unique opportunity to learn more about Parliament and public speaking.
The annual competition invites students in Years 10, 11 and 12 to step into the shoes of a newly elected Member of Parliament
and write a compelling 90-second speech on an issue they are passionate about – with the winners from each year group to be flown to Canberra to deliver their speeches in Parliament House.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for students in our region to voice the issues that matter most to them,” Ms Penfold said.
“Young people have a lot to say, and this competition gives them a platform to step up and be heard.”
In addition to presenting their speeches, winners will participate in a tour of Parliament House, observe Question Time, receive a prize pack from the Parliament Shop, and
engage in an immersive education program.
“This is more than a speech competition,” Ms Penfold said.
“It’s about building confidence, deepening civic understanding, and helping students see how they can actively contribute to our democracy.
“I encourage all eligible schools to get involved – it would be wonderful to see a young Lyne local speaking in Parliament!”
Entries close at 11.59 pm AEST on Monday 15 September 2025 and can be submitted via the competition’s official website: mfs. houseofrepresentatives.gov. au.

Stinker’s Fishin’: Seafood smorgasbord
By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE
JUST thinking how incredibly lucky we are to be surrounded by water teeming with fish and shellfish - fit for a king.
Our oysters are of the highest quality growing in the rivers and feeder streams that flow into the port.
I must admit that I prefer the Sydney Rock Oyster, indigenous to the area.
Although smaller and slower growing than its bigger cousin, the Pacific Oyster, the Sydney Rock is my choice.
Let’s not forget abalone, a shellfish that
is making a very slow recovery.
When it comes to crabs, we are fortunate to have both monster mud crabs and blue swimmers tap dancing through the system.
More common west of Soldiers Point, the muddy can grow to an enormous four kilograms.
More common around the 1.5- 2kg mark the mud crab is highly prized.
The blue swimmer crabs that scamper over the sand flats and through the channels can be caught using a crab trap with an entry less than 32cm or a drop net.
Funds to boost road safety
TRANSPORT for NSW has announced $500,000 in funding for the latest round of its Community Road Safety Grants program.
Chadi Chalhoub, Executive Director for Transport Safety at Transport for NSW, said this funding matches the significant investment made in 2024 and reflects the importance of community-led efforts to help make roads safer.
“Local communities know how to improve safety on their roads,” Mr Chalhoub said.
“With $500,000 available in this round alone, we are backing local champions who understand the unique challenges their areas face and are well placed to deliver effective solutions.
“I encourage every eligible organisation to apply and help us drive positive change on NSW roads."
Eligible not-for-profit and charity organisations in NSW can apply for grants of up to $5,000 or up to $30,000 to fund local road safety initiatives.
Last year saw a record response, with more than 75 groups applying – more than double the number from the previous round.
From these, 35 projects across 17 metropolitan and 18 regional areas received funding between $5,000 and $30,000.
Due to the high number and quality of applications, the total funding was increased from $380,000 to $500,000.
“Since its inception in 2015, the program has distributed over $3.7 million to not-forprofit and community organisations across NSW,” Mr Chalhoub said.
“Whether it’s a small awareness campaign, an education program, or practical safety improvements, grassroots road safety initiatives play a crucial role in reducing crashes and saving lives.
“Last year’s surge in applications reflects the passion and commitment of local groups to build a stronger road safety culture in their communities.”
Applications for Round 11 open on Monday, 4 August and close at 4pm on Monday, 15 September 2025.
Successful projects will be announced in December 2025.
For more information and to apply, visit: https://www.transport.nsw.gov.au/ roadsafety/community/community-grants.
By law you are permitted to set four drop nets (dilly pots) and two traps – surely enough to catch a feed.
Remember that Port Stephens has crab catching laws different from everywhere else in the state in that the “witches hat” method is banned, to protect our turtle population.
It is nearing lobster season and again we are blessed with a better than healthy population that has been well managed by NSW Fisheries over recent years allowing recreational fishers to take three per day with a possession limit of 10.
Lobsters can be caught using one trap permitted by law or by grabbing one with the use of nothing more than a glove.
It may be of interest to learn that in fact there are no lobsters in Australia – they are all crayfish.
The fish on offer are amazing from mullet and bream through to snapper,
Stinker’s History: Shipwreck Stories part 2
By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE
MANY ships built in Scotland during the 1920s eventually came to grief in Australia.
Built at Port Glasgow, Scotland, by Lithgows Limited in the 1920s the sister ships Pappinbarra, Uralla, Uki, Tyalgum and Urana traded along the NSW coastline and experienced great difficulties.
The Pappinbarra (built in 1925) ran aground in 1929 on the northern face of Fingal Island on passage from Port Macquarie to Sydney with a timber cargo.
The crew of 16 reached safety.
Uralla (1925) washed ashore on Stockton Beach during a massive gale in 1928.
The ship was carrying timber.
The crew of 17 waded ashore.
Uki (1923) was one of the few that stayed afloat before being scuttled in 1976 off Tangalooma, Moreton Island in Queensland where it was used as a breakwall.
Tyalgum (1925) was driven ashore in 1939 at the entrance to the Tweed River when inward from Sydney with coal and cement on board.
The ship was broken up.
Urana (1924) was wrecked in 1937 when she ran ashore in a fog 10 miles south of the Manning River on passage from Sydney to the Macleay River carrying coal.
The crew of 17 were rescued.
In more recent times the Sygna, a Norwegian bulk carrier (1967) ran aground
kingfish, mulloway and teraglin.
Pearl perch are entering our system in increasing numbers as are spangled emperors.
Add to this list whiting, flathead, tailor, salmon, drummer, luderick and leatherjacket.

The only one sadly missing from the dining table is the squid.
It wasn’t so long ago that it took little effort to catch a bucket full, now we are lucky to see one. Hopefully one day they will return.
on Stockton Beach in 1974.
All the crew were saved.
When the Point Stephens Lighthouse on Fingal Island first shone in 1862 it was assumed that the number of shipwrecks would be minimal.
Such has not been the case.

For others, camping involves going back to nature and doing it tough.
This type of camping is more like an episode of Alone (but without the audiovisual gear and with no guarantee of being collected in a fast rescue boat if injury and/or malnutrition and or insanity kicks in).
Living off the land is not for the faint hearted (quite literally).
If your partner has visions of you setting off with nothing more than a head torch, some bracken fern for ant bites, two pairs of undies, a hunting knife, and a banjo, you are not going travelling around Australia, you are on a survival expedition.

Going cold on the heat
AS USUAL, it’s all about the weather, but some interesting and disturbing side effects are becoming known following research being done overseas.
For years we have received health warnings about the fact that really hot weather can create unfortunate circumstances, especially for older people.
With our community now focusing on global warming and its health effects,
The very obvious answer in delivering temperature levels to the point where neither the heat nor the cold creates death for our older residents, is to run our heating or cooling devices.
This however creates greater power demands.
Will that endanger our environment due to the way our electricity is produced?
Heat kills within just a few days of temperatures rising because it swiftly alters the electrolytic balance in weaker and older people.
But as research points out it is the cold that creates far more deaths amongst people than the heat.
A recent comprehensive study published in The Lancet shows that while heat kills half a million people each year, it is the cold that is responsible for more than 4.5 million deaths over the same period.
The cold is the villain that takes over nine
Three Salamanders
By Anne JOHNSON, Tea Gardens Family Research & Local History, Inc..
HAVING read the recent interesting article about the first sailing ship to enter Port Stephens in 1791, I noted that she was called “Salamander”.
I wondered if our amazing paddle wheel drogher “Salamander” could have been named after her.
As we know, the upper Myall Lakes
and the river are shallow in places, so to navigate them a flat-bottomed vessel was required.
The timber industry needed a large open space aboard to load the many logs supplied to the mills and ships that were loaded in Port Stephens.
Therefore, the droghers, the steamdriven paddle wheelers, were very necessary considering that road travel was not available in our area.
Dear Rachael,
It sounds like the most wonderful adventure. What an experience.
'Sounds' being the operative word.
When your partner says 'camping' you need to be very clear about what that definition means.
For some, camping is buying a Zone RV Summit worth the average parliamentarian's annual salary, fully decked out with every mod con so that it doesn't actually feel like camping, but instead residing in a mobile luxury apartment complete with mixer taps, a separate shower and ensuite, and an upholstered bedhead.
'Camping' for these people also means staying in high-end caravan parks with all the other campers who have used up their superannuation and the kids' inheritance to get back to their youth, but without any of the youthful associations such as being
times the number of lives each year than the heat does and we must be continually concerned about it.
Many medical people in the world are saying that “cheaper or lower cost power” is the easiest way of solving unnecessary deaths due to the heat and the cold extremes each year.
In fact, deaths from extreme temperatures in the USA have more than
This is not compatible with your office bodies that are used to being within walking distance of a Barista Express coffee machine, a flushing toilet, a Spotify playlist, and an office assistant named Max who can fix just about any issue including a migraine and/or an existential crisis.
Rachael, I suggest you do a trial run (no more than two hours from where you live) just to make sure you are both on the same page.
This will help you decide whether you like the sort of camping your partner is interested in, and also whether you can be around each other for an extended period of time.
If the answer to both those questions is yes, and if you can afford to take a year off work, then go well my friend (and take a Personal Locator Beacon with you if you find that your partner is more Bear Grylls than Paris Hilton).

halved since 1960 due to air conditioning and lower cost power sources.
Studies note that lower natural gas prices have saved an estimated 12,500 lives each winter in America.
The big problem there is that climate policies prioritising reducing carbon dioxide emissions over energy affordability can lead to more deaths during times of climate extremes.
It was a memorable sight when I was young to see the water churning up as they travelled along.
There was often a drogher moored across from Tillerman’s’ café and sometimes I would take advantage to fish off the end!
Sadly, what is left of that “Salamander” can be seen at low tide on Witt Island, across from the northern end of Marine Drive. Only the pelicans make use of the
few remaining timbers.
As I look, I have a feeling of nostalgia.
Surprisingly there is a replica hidden away in a local backyard!

70yo activist walking for wildlife
By Jacie WHITFIELD
PETER Elzer was due to pass through the region this week on his 580km walk from Coffs Harbour to Sydney.
The 70-year-old is seeking urgent action on native forest protection and the creation of the long-promised Great Koala National Park (GKNP).
Peter, a veteran forest advocate, began his 33-day journey with a simple and urgent message for the NSW Government.
“Stop logging koala habitat, listen to the science, save our native flora and fauna from increasing survival threats, and act now with preservation before it’s too late.
“My children used to see koalas wandering through the school grounds when they were in primary school.
“Those coastal koala populations are now gone. "Extinct.
“This walk is about making sure that doesn’t
keep happening.”
Peter, aka “KoaLaMan”, is no stranger to environmental campaigning.
He was involved in the successful 1991 Chaelundi old growth forest campaign and the Emerald Beach Outfall Campaign.
More recently, in 2022–2023, he completed a 2048km solo walk from Melbourne to Seventeen Seventy to “Stamp Out Racism” - sparking debate over endemic racism in regional and rural areas.
This time, the mission is to save the state's dwindling koala populations and native forests.
He is calling for the immediate implementation of the full 176,000ha GKNP, a promise made by the NSW Government before the last election that remains unfulfilled.
The challenge of walking up to 25 kilometres per day with a 25kg pack is no easy feat, especially at 70.
“It’s been extremely
challenging,” Peter admits.
“I’m sleeping rough, staying in cheap hotels, and relying on basic rations.
“However, every person who walks with me or waves from a car keeps me going.
“I’ll wave to every car until my arms drop off.”
Support has come from individuals, community members and passers-by.
Some have joined him for parts of the walk.
Others stop to talk, donate food, or simply offer encouragement.
“When I’m having a rough day, I just think about a hot shower, some decent food - even just a chair. That’s enough to keep going.”
Peter feels the government is dragging its feet and his demands are clear, he wants immediate implementation of the full GKNP and a serious, public debate about ending native forest logging across NSW.
“People believed the Greater Koala National Park
was going ahead. Now it feels like that promise was a lie.
“The NSW Forestry Corporation has actually ramped up logging in areas that were meant to be protected.
“It’s outrageous.
“Delaying action risks local extinctions and irreparable biodiversity loss.
“It’s time to stop talking and start doing.”
When Peter arrives at Parliament House in Sydney on 20 August, he’ll deliver a symbolic letter “scratched out” by KoaLaMan - the character he has created to represent all native creatures who can’t speak for themselves.
The letter is a heartfelt plea for a home and for responsible environmental stewardship and protection before it’s too late.
He hopes to inspire the next generation to get involved, to care and to speak up, anticipating that one of the young people moved by his campaign may grow up to become “the next Bob Carr, David Attenborough, or Dailan Pugh.”
“We owe that to

Success powers bowling club
By John SAHYOUN BULAHDELAH Bowling
Club has held its Annual General Meeting, reporting an amazing turnaround in fortunes over the past twelve months.
Significant improvements in income were noted in bar, restaurant and gaming areas, while newer initiatives such as weekly trivia nights and allowing overnight campers were celebrated.
A slight change was also made to the club’s constitution; the five kilometre rule for membership was altered in
line with changes to state government legislation which allows non-members access but without member benefits.
The club board welcomed the election of new members Amy Anderson and Kevin Smith and acknowledged the retirement of long-standing director Peter Mostyn.
A highlight of the meeting was the nomination of a new life member to the club, with Leo Kierans nominated and passed by an overwhelming majority.
Mr Kierans has worked at the club for 30 years, joining the bar staff as a

for first points.
Paterson returned the favour with their own try in short order, but when the Hawks next kicked off,
Paterson’s defenders failed to stop the ball from bouncing out, giving a welcome territory gain via a line dropout.
The Hawks pushed strongly near the line, but Paterson’s defence resisted the attack, eventually taking possession and running the ball up the other end to score under the posts.
Establishing dominance in possession, Paterson took every opportunity to run at the tryline, with one dangerous attack off a fifth-tackle kick scuppered by quick-moving Hawks defenders.
Despite strong attacks from both sides, much of the latter first half was scoreless, before Paterson scored a contentious try in the far-left corner as the half came to a close.
Paterson began the second half with a dribbly kick directly to their own
front row, granting themselves possession in dangerous field position.
The visitors soon scored again near the posts, before a head-high tackle on a Hawks player won the home side a penalty, bringing play to within metres of the tryline.
A Hawks team effort helped Brent Johnson score his second try, and Alex Sinclair made the conversion, bringing the scoreline to 10-28.
The Hawks then scored again next to the posts, after James Sinclair caught a high kick and put in Paul Mascord for the grounding.
Alex Sinclair’s successful conversion further reduced the deficit.
As the game came to a close, Paterson extended their lead with a converted try on the buzzer, for a 1634 finish in favour of the visitors.

FRIDAY
PROFESSOR T
ABC TV, 8.30pm
This very solid British crime drama stars Ben Miller (pictured) as the titular Professor, who teaches Criminology at Cambridge University. Professor Jasper Tempest has obsessive-compulsive disorder, so his life is one of cleanliness and order – and it’s about to be completely upended when one of his former students, DS Lisa Donckers (Emma Naomi), ropes him into an investigation. In Friday’s premiere, when a student is sexually assaulted at the university, something about the offender’s MO seems familiar to Donckers – so she reaches out to the professor for help.

HOME AND AWAY
SEVEN, 7pm
It’s never easy saying goodbye, especially when you’re part of the furniture like Irene Roberts (Lynne McGranger, pictured) is in Summer Bay. But after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis, Irene knows it’s now or never if she wants to see the world. She has called the Bay home for more than three decades – maturing from a despicable drunk into a down-to-earth matriarch –so you can bet this is going to be an emotional farewell for all concerned. None more so than for McGranger herself, whose time playing Irene made her the longestserving female actress on Aussie TV – and finally scored her Gold and Silver Logies earlier this month. Worth a watch, even if you haven’t tuned in for years.

Britain’s favourite Irishman, comedian Dara Ó Briain narrates this three-part docuseries which offers a birds-eye of Ireland’s six stunning national parks. In tonight’s first instalment, we visit Killarney, which became the country’s first national park when it was created in 1932. Down in the southwest of Ireland, Killarney National Park is known for its beautiful lakes and wild woodlands and is home to Ireland’s highest peak. Then, we head north to Burren National Park (pictured), which couldn’t be more different from Killarney if it tried. Its star attraction is Mullaghmore, barren landscape of swirling rock and hardy, low-growing plants – and this stark landscape is every bit as interesting as its verdant cousin.
