Anna wins local Junior Life Saver Award

News Of The Area.
“Anna would highly recommend Nippers and life saving to other kids out there as a way to get healthy and active.”
Hawks Nest’s Bennetts Beach is the closest to Anna’s family home along the Williams River, and her interests are piqued in the field of marine biology.
“Anna is an outstanding youth member of the surf club with phenomenal surf skills and a keen awareness of lifesaving,” TGHN SLSC Chief Training Officer Amanda Osmond said.
“Anna became a Nipper as soon as she was old enough and always competed several ages above her group.”
“Members refer to Anna as the ‘fish’ and even though she is only 14, she has performed numerous rescues.
“She is an excellent addition to water safety for Nippers and to the three patrols that she is a member of.
“[She] simply epitomises surf lifesaving in every way.”
Anna completed Nippers in 2023 and moved on to be a cadet member.
The skills she learnt as a Nipper included water and beach safety, use of rescue board and swimming proficiency.
As a cadet member, Anna gained her Surf Rescue Certificate (SRC).
She has proven her skills in board and tube rescues, gained her first aid and radio certificates, and increased her knowledge
of beach safety and the importance of team work when on patrol.
As she approaches her tenth year of watching the waves, Anna is more experienced than many adult members.
Since her cadet days, she has exceeded her rostered hours on the beach, regularly volunteered when any patrol is short, and has provided water safety for Nippers on Sundays.
“Anna is always willing to help, and was a part of the patrol who conducted a rescue of 12 swimmers on 21 December, 2024 when they were caught in a flash rip,” Club Registrar Kerrie Moore said.
The December rescue gained acknowledgement from NSW SLS as an outstanding rescue for team work and skill.
Karuah kids back a winner
By Thomas O’KEEFE
SCHOOLCHILDREN at Karuah Public School (KPS) joined in celebrating their local football team, the Karuah Roos.
The students hosted a special mufti day last Friday, ahead of the Roos’ grand finalwinning showdown against the Stockton Sharks in the Newcastle Hunter Rugby League C-Grade Grand Final.
Donning red and white, the students chanted “Up Up Karuah!” in warm solidarity.
They lined the team’s bus with messages of support and there was even a special banner on the front of the school.
It was handmade and painted by Aunty Kelly, one of the school’s Aboriginal education officers, despite her son playing for Stockton.
“Rugby league is huge here in Karuah, especially with Grand Final fever,” Principal
Toni Lyle told News Of The Area.
“We were all… witnessing first-hand how the team made it into the finals.
“Our school’s student support officer, Mr Dan Evans, is also the Captain/Coach of the Roos and many of his fellow players are dads and uncles of kids at the school.
“Dan is phenomenal, an amazing leader.
"He coaches kids every day at lunch and recess, building leadership, sportsmanship skills, and teamwork - we are just getting behind him and the team.
“Dan was overwhelmed, and the pressure was on to win.”
If the Roos lost, Ms Lyle said Dan had to “come to work at the school in the Stockton jersey”.
Just as well then that the students' efforts proved a charm.

LIFELINE WALK
which was on 10 September, also promotes helping Australians in crisis.
Biljana walked with her friend and supporter Tammy, covering the round-trip from North Arm Cove Community Centre to Gooreengi Road turnoff.
She managed to raise several hundred dollars locally, which will go towards keeping the lines open at Lifeline.
“I wanted to help make Lifeline more available for young people who need help,” she said.
Every 24 seconds, someone calls its crisis support line, but not every call can be answered.
Just $39 will provide one life-saving connection.
“It is terrible to realise that [someone] might finally summon the courage to ring, but there is no-one to answer the phone on the other end.
“I’ve never done anything like [this] before, but have been putting a lot of things into perspective lately.”
Biljana has been writing about her own life experiences as she comes to terms with the concept of “intergenerational trauma”.
Her mother was aged only eight when she witnessed the brutal execution of her father and many other villagers at the hands of Bulgarian Nazi sympathisers during WWII.
While Biljana's daughter Iskra, which means “sparkle” in several Slavic languages, was a psychologist who volunteered for Lifeline before her untimely death.
“I have been able to analyse my own life, and have realised that we are transferring our trauma from one generation to the next, especially those from countries struck by war.”
Latest figures show that 17,020 Australians walked to remember those lost to suicide and to help those in crisis - so far raising $3,639,030 for crisis support and suicide prevention services.
Lifeline: 13 11 14.
Farms and Family Law
by Xander Gee
Farms are often considered as more than just real estate by those who own and work them. In many cases they are passed down through the generations from parents to their children and as such have sentimental, as well as commercial value. During a separation, this value must be balanced against the non-farming spouse’s right to a fair and equitable property settlement.
Prior to the introduction of the Family Law Act, farms maintained a special status within the Family Courts with an acknowledgement that farms were not only valuable pieces of real estate providing a home for the family, but also business assets generating an income. As such, the Courts largely took the view that as far as possible, orders should not be made that would affect the income earning potential of
the farm or require its sale. As a consequence, nonfarming spouses could be significantly disadvantaged compared to their suburban counterpart who might otherwise receive a payment from the sale of the matrimonial home.
Today, farms are largely treated as all other real property, however, there remains the view that it is preferable for a business asset such as a farm to be retained by the spouse working the farm, but only if a just and equitable result can still be achieved for both parties. A Court will consider alternatives to forcing the sale of the farm, but ultimately if the alternatives are not just and equitable then the farm will need to be sold, just as any other asset of the parties.

Surf Club prepares for Summer
By Thomas O’KEEFE
SUMMER is coming, and the Tea Gardens Hawks Nest Surf Life Saving Club has been busy preparing for it during the off-season.
Upgrades to the life saver facilities are nearing completion in time for the club’s Registration Open Day at Bennetts Beach on Sunday 21 September.
Volunteer building manager David Lau showed News Of The Area how things are going, including the new first aid room and Operations Centre, which have come
together as a result of grants from both state and federal government.
The Surf Club and its members are looking forward to visits in the coming week from both State MP Kate Washington and Federal MP Alison Penfold.
“These newly purposerefurbished rooms were originally just a cornered-off part of the equipment shed, somewhat provincial,” Mr Lau explained.
“It now has proper internal walls and flooring, a decent false ceiling to contain all the necessary cables,
and facilities to make life savers’ jobs that much more practical.”
The Operations Desk has a commanding view down to the beach, while the new First Aid area has a privacy wall, patient bed, and newly located AED.
“Later on, we hope to upgrade the watchtower outside with a drone landing platform,” David said.
Mere metres away outside, a forest of Acrow Props has sprouted beneath the surf club’s balcony, a situation that David understands may be cause
for concern by those coming to see the beautiful beach view.
“Sixteen Acrow Props currently reinforce the underside of the surf club’s balcony, all of them loadbearing, but they are a temporary measure,” David explained.
“The propping enables the balcony above to be used as it was before, allowing the clubhouse to be used at its usual capacity with no weight restrictions on the outdoor upstairs area.
“It is completely safe now with the Props, and additional structural strengthening options are currently being costed and considered by the landlord and the Club.”
Ground-penetrating radar has been employed to generate a very clear understanding of what is going on inside the balcony’s concrete, including the condition of the reo,
Sadly, not all news is good at the Club with a large “Beach Closed” sign along
with three orange cones, apparently stolen from the southern main pedestrian entrance.
They were placed there at the beginning of the foul weather this winter, to warn people about the dangerous drop-off, but are now lost to the volunteer club.
SLSC volunteers will be swarming the clubhouse on Sunday to help new and old members join up, and to answer any questions about joining Patrol Teams or Nippers.

New doctors in town
By Thomas O’KEEFE
NEW medical services have become available to Myall Coast residents, with the opening of the Tea Gardens GP Medical Centre.
Just over a month since the grand opening, founder and clinical supervisor Dr M. Mohammed said he is very happy to be back.
Dr Mohammed practiced in Hawks Nest between 2019-23, arriving just in time to help with the fallout from COVID-19, before heading off to run the Peppertree GP practice in Medowie.
Originally from the ancient city of Mosul, along the Tigris River in the foothills of the Kurdish Mountains, Dr Mohammed’s life took him from his university in Jordan to Australia more than a decade ago.
“I worked rotations for two years in the HunterNew England health system, having undertaken Intensive Care Unit (ICU) training in 2015,” he told News Of The Area.
“That took me to Canberra, Sydney and Gosford.
“I also received GP training and a fellowship with the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine.”
Dr Mohammed is also a medical educator and examiner, as well as a clinical supervisor.
“We are happy to be back. Me especially, because I have a soft spot for Mumm’s seafood mornay.”
Dr Mohammed still runs the Peppertree GP at Medowie, and has been joined in Tea Gardens by fellow practitioners Dr
Shaimaa Elgayar, Dr Ahmed Shetia, and Dr Karan Sian.
All three began their medical journeys together in Hunter-New England Hospitals before each proceeded to serve the communities of Cessnock and Medowie as dedicated GPs.
The new Tea Gardens GP Medical Centre is located at Shops 1 and 4, 209 Myall Street.
As well as the general practice, it hosts a treatment and pathology section, skin cancer clinic, women’s and children’s health specialists, vaccinations, and chronic disease management.
Podiatry services are also proposed.
Local tradies were hired to get the centre up and running, and Dr Mohammed said there is a policy of bulk
billing.
“I want to bulk bill because I want to help people, and we are very aware of the fact that patients
can get reluctant to even go to a doctor if they are worrying about the bill at the end.
“[This means] some people are not getting the

Direct flights to Perth a ‘huge win’ for tourism
q QantasLink, the airport, councils and the state government are celebrating the flights as a ‘huge win’ for the Hunter’s tourism industry.
A319, aligns with the NSW Government’s recently announced Visitor Economy Strategy 2035, which commits to improving access to and from regional NSW.
The route also supports the region’s Fly-In, Fly-Out (FIFO) workforce and opens up one-stop international connections via Perth to destinations across Europe, Asia and South Africa.
Newcastle Airport CEO Linc Horton said securing direct services to Perth has been a long-term goal.
“Locals and businesses have been telling us for years they wanted this connection and with the NSW Government’s Aviation Attraction fund behind us, our team was able to turn that demand into reality,” Mr Horton said.
“The new direct to Perth service demonstrates how our new terminal will connect our 1.4 millionstrong catchment with more destinations, more easily and will play a key role in
delivering on the Strategy's ambitious targets, especially the 8.5 million new airline seats and $91 billion visitor spend by 2035.”
NSW Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper said, “The NSW Government was proud to work with Newcastle Airport and Qantas to secure this route through the Aviation Attraction Fund and the new connection to the west coast opens the door for more people to discover Newcastle and the Hunter.”
QantasLink CEO Rachel Yangoyan said the new service will deliver a real boost in connectivity for Newcastle residents and the mining and resource sectors.
“These flights will provide over 45,000 seats between Newcastle and Perth annually with connections on to Qantas’ extensive domestic and international networks, including new onestop options for Newcastle residents to London and Paris via Perth,” Ms Yangoyan said.
Port Stephens Mayor and
Newcastle Airport Director Leah Anderson said the launch of direct flights was a “huge win” for the Hunter tourism industry.
“For Port Stephens, this means more visitors enjoying our stunning beaches and natural beauty, which creates more business for everyone who relies on tourism.
“It's a huge step forward for the Hunter, giving our community the kind of travel options they've been waiting for."

NEWCASTLE Airport’s first direct flight to Perth took off last Monday, ending the need for Hunter travellers to drive to Sydney for westbound journeys.

Nationals call for firefighting scheme to be made permanent
NSW NATIONALS MPs are calling on the NSW Government to immediately deliver its promised Farm Fire Fighting Vehicle scheme, months after the second of two trial periods ended.
In January 2024 Labor committed to provide conditional registrations that would enable farmers to drive unregistered vehicles on public roads in an emergency,
but is yet to make the program permanent.
An initial trial was run between December 2023 and March 2024, with participants nominating a vehicle used for firefighting purposes, to respond to emergency bush fire incidents on public roads within 100km of their home.
FFFVs might be utility vehicles fitted out with hoses and other firefighting
equipment.
A second trial was run from 13 December 2024 to 31 March 2025.
Shadow Minister for Emergency Services Gurmesh Singh said the scheme is a crucial measure that would boost firefighting capacity, with the bushfire season just weeks away.
“When a fire breaks out, farmers are often the first to

respond, and they can play a key role in limiting damage to property and protecting lives, particularly before emergency crews arrive,” Mr Singh said.
“There’s been multiple successful trials now and the scheme has received widespread support, so the Minns Government needs to finally make this commonsense change that could make all the difference when disaster strikes.”
Shadow Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Dave Layzell said regional communities are being put at risk.
“Farm Fire Fighting
Vehicles tend to be used around the farm and not on public roads, which is why the conditional registration will be a good way to allow them to attend nearby fires, without the high cost of a full registration,” Mr Layzell said.
“We don’t want a situation where landholders are deterred from helping their neighbours in a fire situation because the Government was too slow to act on something it promised.”
NSW Nationals Upper House member Scott Barrett sought an update on the scheme in the Legislative Council in June.
“Given the second trial concluded three months ago, on 31 March 2025, when will a permanent scheme be announced so that farm firefighting vehicles can be registered in a timely manner ahead of the official commencement of the 202526 bushfire season on 1 October 2025?” he asked.
In response, Minister for Roads John Graham said the review of the second trial had been completed and submitted to the Minister for Roads.
He said he was unable to provide further information at the time.
Planning approval for renewables network
THE Hunter-Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone project has received planning approval after a review of environmental impacts and consultation.
The project has an intended network capacity of one gigawatt (GW) and stretches from the Upper Hunter in the north to the Central Coast in the south.
It is set to be the first renewable energy zone (REZ) in Australia to upgrade existing grid infrastructure such as distribution poles and wires, in order to reduce the impact on communities and the environment.
Two new substations will
also be constructed.
Full planning approval was achieved following the exhibition of the Review of Environmental Factors and a review of submissions by councils, state authorities, businesses and individuals.
According to the State Government, the HunterCentral Coast REZ network infrastructure has been assessed as having a “relatively low environmental impact”, as most of the works are taking place on existing easements.
The project is now subject to final approvals from the Australian Energy Regulator.
Minister for Climate
Change and Energy Penny Sharpe said, “Planning approval for the HunterCentral Coast Renewable Energy Zone project is further evidence of progress on a key upgrade that will help keep the lights on as coal-fired power plants retire.
“Upgrading existing distribution poles and wires allows us to minimise the impact on communities and the environment, and speeds up the delivery of this critical infrastructure.”
REZs aim to group new wind and solar power generation into locations where it can be “efficiently stored and transmitted across NSW”.
Five zones across the state have been identified.

Melbourne to Noosa for neuroblastoma research
TO mark the start of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Melbourne dad Trent Robertson will embark on the most challenging
journey of his life – running 10 marathons and cycling 1,200km in just 30 days.
He will raise vital funds for Neuroblastoma Australia,
a charity dedicated to improving outcomes for children with cancer.
Trent’s challenge, ‘Noosa for Neuro’, will see him run and ride from Melbourne to Noosa throughout September.
His mission is to raise awareness and muchneeded funds to support research into safer, more effective treatments for neuroblastoma, a disease that tragically claims more lives of children under five than any other cancer.
The average five-year survival rate for aggressive neuroblastoma is only 50 percent.
The driving force behind Trent’s dedication is Oli, a young boy and family friend who bravely battled stage 4 neuroblastoma at just two years old.
Now seven, Oli will be cheering Trent on the entire way.
Over the past two years, Trent has committed himself to raising awareness for Neuroblastoma Australia, and he's now aiming even higher with a goal to raise $100,000 for life-saving research.
“Watching Oli’s journey opened my eyes to how cruel childhood cancer is and how desperately more support and research is needed so that no other child has to go through what Oli endured,” said Trent.
“As a dad with young kids, I felt a strong urge to do something.
“If putting myself through this challenge helps even one family, then it’s worth every step.”
Trent’s route will include:
- Week 1: Parkdale VIC to Keajura NSW – Departing Parkdale on September 1
- Week 2: Keajura NSW to Campbelltown NSW
- Week 3: Campbelltown to Raleigh NSW
- Week 4: Raleigh NSW to Mackenzie QLD
- Week 5: Mackenzie QLD to Maroochydore QLD
- Arriving on September 30 at the Noosa Heads Life Saving Club.
Lucy Jones, CEO of Neuroblastoma Australia, says Trent’s commitment is both moving and powerful.
“Trent’s journey is inspiring, not only because of the extreme physical

challenge, but because he’s doing it for children like Oli.
“His efforts help fund vital research enabling better treatments to be developed giving families hope for the future,” said Lucy.
“Trent’s challenge is going to be a huge feat, but he’s not doing it alone.
“Every wave, cheer, or shared kilometre will remind
him and the families we support, that we’re all in this together.” Every dollar raised through Noosa for Neuro goes directly to Neuroblastoma Australia, helping fund research into safer and more effective treatments.

Intergenerational obsession
NOW that the Federal Government’s three day “Productivity Summit” is over, many of us are still trying to work out what it was all about.
The three areas that the conveners required to be discussed were productivity, economic growth and tax reform.
The current housing supply dominated most of one day’s debates but from what has been released by those who knew someone at the talk fest, productivity hardly received a mention.
However, tax reform was what the Treasurer wanted as its main focus, even though the Prime Minister said that there will not be any new tax ideas considered in this term of parliament.
That’s interesting.
The Treasurer must have his own ideas about what he wants from tax reform; probably a lot more money coming to the government so that they can more easily cover the debt that it has borrowed.
It was recently stated that the interest bill on government borrowings is now A$5 million per day.
So, who has that kind of hay in storage and how can the government collect it efficiently so that spending can be covered?
It becomes much clearer when the Treasurer continues to verbally attack what he calls “intergenerational inconsistencies”.
In other words, the older hard-working and retired group in our economy, who have been saving their money and investing it for some tens of years, will clearly be targeted.
As one observer reported, it looks like the government is attempting to fund its promised tax reductions by taking from the retired community whose super funds from lifelong savings have now topped some $4 trillion dollars.
The three-day obsession was limited to 26 specially invited people who each apparently detailed what they wanted, no doubt to the advantage of their industry, rather than offering opinion on the productivity question.

DEAR Jasminda,
Every time I look at the news there is a new tragedy unfolding or a new source of conflict.
It's actually getting to me. I feel that I'm in a constant state of worry wondering what will happen next.
Do you have any ideas on how I can address this?
Leonie B.
Dear Leonie,
This is a common problem but that certainly doesn't diminish how you are feeling.
There was a time when news was confined to a newspaper or perhaps the six 'o'clock news, but now, with a 24-hour news cycle, it can feel overwhelming.
We are constantly bombarded by stories that are deliberately written in a way that seeks attention.
Just like a child throwing a tantrum, it often doesn't matter if that attention is positive or negative, as long as people take notice.
Conflict is one of the main news values journalists are taught will make a successful news story.
Humans are also drawn to conflict as a form of engagement and entertainment.
This isn't something new (read any Shakespearian text, or, if you're so inclined, The Bible for any number of examples). Today, we revel in conflict in many areas such as sporting activities, movies and books, reality TV shows, and politics.
Conflict has reached a high point (or perhaps 'low point' is a better description) on social media.
Any situation becomes a heightened form of antagonism, with trolling by armchair warriors or people using fake accounts to create toxic and unsafe environments for people who may not have the emotional capacity or life experience to deal with them.
Leonie, I'm possibly not telling
With new housing initiatives and childcare activities being the immediate reactions from this meeting, retirees must
Review of recovery efforts
A PARLIAMENTARY committee will review the NSW Reconstruction Authority's response to May’s recordbreaking flood event.
After entire townships were left isolated and thousands of homes and businesses were damaged, the NSW Reconstruction Authority has been leading recovery operations, including coordinating clean-up and repair efforts.
A NSW Parliament Joint Select Committee has recently commenced an inquiry to review the operations of the Authority relating to this natural disaster.
“The role of the NSW Reconstruction Authority is to lead disaster recovery and preparedness efforts across the state,” said Committee Chair Clayton Barr MP.
“Since it was established in 2022, the Authority has had to support affected communities to recover from a number of
significant disasters.
“By reviewing its operations regarding the May floods, the Committee wants to understand how the Authority's approach has evolved, what is working, and what needs to improve.
“We want to make sure that the Authority is providing the best possible support to impacted communities, and is working effectively to reduce the impact of future disasters.”
As part of the review, the Committee will also look at the Authority's operations relating to other recent natural disasters, including any resulting changes or improvements to their operations.
The inquiry's terms of reference also refer to:
• the exercise of relevant planning powers under the NSW Reconstruction Authority Act 2022
News Of The Area
you anything you don't know, but it's important to offer some context, because if you know why something draws you in, you can counter it.
Here are some ways to do that:
1. Give yourself a time limit. You can still stay informed without doom scrolling for hours.
2. If you go to your favourite media app to read about emissions targets and instead become consumed by public comments around a violent protest, then you're being controlled by your media, not the other way around.
Social media is designed to keep people distracted and constantly scrolling.
If you're veering away from your intended content, make a conscious decision to put your phone down or block/mute content that is causing distress.
3. What do you really want to give attention to in your spare time? If your interests are pets or photography or hiking, there are hundreds of sources of information and entertainment that focus on those interests.
Again, put yourself in control.
4. Social media is an addiction.
Developers and content creators who make money from it know exactly what they are doing and they do it very well. If you are using social media as a distraction (perhaps while waiting for a bus, a weekend with no plans, having a work break, or while eating lunch), replace it with something healthier (a good book, a new hobby, taking your pet for a walk, going for a swim, having coffee with a friend).
If you're reading for information, a headline summary from a reputable news source may be more useful than content from influencers with no training, no ethical guidelines, and no fact checkers.
5. Read a local paper or publication. Community news often provides a balance with good news stories involving people or places that are important to you.
These ideas don't mean you have to be ignorant; instead, they may help to create a better environment for you while you're navigating your state of constant worry.
• the Authority's engagement with impacted communities
• the application of any relevant funding from the NSW and Australian Governments.
Written submissions can be lodged to the inquiry's website up until Friday, 3 October 2025.
“The Committee would like to hear from community members, businesses and organisations that have had first-hand experience of the Authority's recovery work,” Mr Barr said.
“However, we understand that affected communities are still recovering from the severe weather in May.
“We're encouraging anyone that would like to contribute but may have trouble making a submission to contact the Committee staff.”
Further information on the inquiry,
including the full terms of reference, and the online submission portal is available on the Committee's webpage: http:// www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/committees/ inquiries/Pages/inquiry-details. aspx?pk=3136#tab-termsofreference.

and teammates.
It helped erase the bitter memories of the club’s heartbreaking 28-26 loss to Paterson River in last year’s D Grade North trophy decider at the same venue.
Karuah edged out the Sharks in a thrilling tussle to claim their first title since lifting the D Grade trophy back in 2016.
Evans was one of three current players to feature in that premiershipwinning side nine years ago along with skilful five-eighth and team vice captain Sam Croese and prop Ryan Saunders.
The Roos defeated Hinton Hornets 24-20 at Harker Oval to snap a 41-year premiership drought with the versatile Evans playing halfback and turning in a best-onground performance.
Strong-running Saunders shone as a centre that day and scored
a crucial try with Croese booting four conversions.
Last weekend the club stalwarts were in vintage form as they helped engineer another epic Grand Final victory.
For elusive winger Luke Perry the premiership triumph was a double celebration in his 100th appearance for the Karuah club - scoring one of the Roos’ six tries and swelling his career tally to 64.
It was a special moment for the quicksilver Perry - an inductee in Karuah’s Team of The Decade 2013-23who has developed into a tryscoring machine in the Newcastle and Hunter competition.
Both sides turned on the style with Evans and wily Sharks hooker Max Hardy inspiring their teammates with top games in a cracking duel between the ace number nines.
In a match of fluctuating fortunes, the astute Hardy kept Stockton in the hunt with a try double, along with four pointers from

A special mention to dad, Pete Howard for a goal to rival anything we have ever seen.
centres Brad Andersen and Isaac Hardy and prop Koby Gordon plus four conversions by skipper and halfback Nick Hor.
Karuah’s dynamic fullback Shaqueil Saunders contributed a personal tally of 18 points from two tries and five goals and added thrust to the backline with his pace and swerve.
Evans, along with second rower Caleb Langdon and tireless lock Dean Langdon, also scored vital tries as the Roos staved off a fierce secondhalf challenge from the revved up Sharks.
The experienced Saunders was a tower of strength in the Roos’ engine room along with Evans, front rower Nick John, Tristan Neil, Caleb and Dean Langdon and former Newcastle Knights powerhouse Jack Langdon.
Mastermind Evans along with his coaching panel of Sean and Jake Langdon deserve special praise for guiding the club to premiership glory.
In a massive team effort, the Roos showed their depth of talent with strong contributions also from centres Kane Thomas and Koby Martyn, winger Isaac Mitchell, halves Croese and halfback Brandon Thompson, and interchange players Rhys Thompson, Steven Soper, Kurt Langdon, Josh White and Kyle Ridgeway.
Karuah’s latest Grand Final win comes 50 years after the mighty 1975 Roos - one of the club’s greatest-ever outfitswere crowned Newcastle Second Division A Grade champions with a 23-12 victory over Gateshead.
I’ve heard confidentially that he may be headhunted by any forward thinking A League team needing a striker.
Well done Pete, and thanks for being there very early every Saturday game day morning to set out the fields for us.
After the fabulous day that we all experienced
and enjoyed, the Walking Football players took to the oval.
We had a record number of attendees turn up for our second last game day of the winter season, all of whom have voted to commence a “Summer Twilight Season” to kick off early October.
Stay tuned! We had a very enjoyable game on a larger pitch, to cater for the larger number of players, that allowed us all to stretch it out a bit, having more room to grow our ever-improving skills and laughter levels.
Well done players, and welcome to our two newbies, Roger and Kaarin. Next week is the TGSC presentation day, commencing at 9am.
Please drop in to support your local club of 35 years and all of its kids, parents, grandparents and onlookers.
You can even get a bacon and egg/sausage sandwich and a hot cuppa from our canteen!
What more can you ask for on a sunny Saturday morning in Tea Gardens? See you there.

GC and in the Macleay Valley. Nambucca was very wet and muddy which made it a challenge for everyone, but the weather improved as the mid north coast clubs at Kempsey, South West Rocks and Frederickton hosted the competition. Julie Freeland had a fantastic score of 40 at Frederickton, which won her second place just one shot behind the day’s winner – well played!
Closer to home, a group of 20 lady golfers, members of a large social group called Born in the 50’z, tried their skills at 10 Pin Bowling in Raymond Terrace. There was a lot of laughter as the ladies
showed some ”interesting” techniques to knock the pins down, with a few great scores recorded. The team adjourned to Medowie for lunch, but it wasn’t until the next day that they realized they’d used a completely different set of muscles and were a little the worse for wear!
We are very lucky to belong to a sporting club that encourages friendships and social connections beyond our fairways. Good luck to those who are continuing on the vets circuit to Mudgee and the mid-west in the coming weeks. Our normal fixtures return from Saturday 13/9.

Guided by renowned journalist Leigh Sales, a fresh batch of neurodivergent student journalists grill some of Australia’s biggest names in an unfiltered group interview. First cab off the rank is Rake star Richard Roxburgh (above, with Sales), who is probed about his most epic film stunts, as well as how he met his celebrity chef wife, Silvia Colloca.

PARAMEDICS
NBN, 8.40pm
First responders such as the brave paramedics featured in this gripping docuseries play a vital role in our community, effortlessly navigating life-or-death situations with their expert knowledge and calm demeanour. These dedicated medical professionals often work in dangerous and demanding environments to provide critical pre-hospital care for those in desperate need. In tonight’s instalment, after a heroic bystander uses CPR to bring a grandmother back from the dead, intensive care specialist Bill arrives to stabilise the distressed woman before she slips back into fatal cardiac arrest. Elsewhere, his colleagues Sally (pictured) and Olivia carefully examine a churchgoer who has whacked her head on a pew.
THURSDAY THE OFFICE AUSTRALIA
You’re probably most familiar with the UK or US editions of , but the global hit franchise in fact has 13 international offshoots. Each production makes the most of their setting, with local writing teams adding a distinct sense of humour and cultural knowledge to the adaptation. Tonight’s instalment of this Aussie incarnation is perhaps the best example of that approach, as Flinley Craddick’s Sydney office celebrates Melbourne Cup Day. Or rather, managing director Hannah (comedian Felicity Ward, pictured, in fine form) and visiting Brisbane colleague Danny (Rick Donald) cause chaos as they go against corporate policy to throw a raucous, boozy party in the workplace.
