by the sea, some hardy Taroona souls come together annually for a swim to celebrate the shortest day and longest night. It’s brisk, but they’re not as crazy as those who partake of a midwinter dip in the chilly -2° waters of the Antarctic! I am always surprised by the breadth and diversity of groups that make up our colourful and talented community; many have contributed to this winter issue of Taroona News. It reminds me of just how lucky we are – as Taroona is an extra special place to live in Hobart and, for that matter, the world! This issue conveys

You’ll find an update from IMAS telling you about progress with the forthcoming development which will temporarily close the foreshore walking track, news from the Scouts, the Taroona Volunteer Fire Brigade and promotion of events coming later in the year – TEN’s fire information walk and the Taroona Seaside Festival. Over recent months the TCA committee has responded to Kingborough Council’s public exhibition of the Draft Dog Management Policy and the Draft Tracks and Trails Strategic Action Plan. Balancing the needs of dog walkers and other recreational users particularly in this fragile coastal setting, and provision of a 10 year strategic framework for tracks and trails, are issues that the TCA committee took the time to discuss and formulate submissions. The Council is yet to release the final Dog Management Policy and Tracks Strategic Action Plan. Once they are completed, links to the documents will be placed on the Taroona website.

News from the Taroona Volunteer Fire Brigade It was the best of times it was the worst of times ... ANZAC Day, and I’d just pulled up the carpet of my living room to discover not only odd floor boards and a chunk of concrete but a nest of mummified rats. My wife looked at me with that ‘was this really such a good idea?’ look when the pager went off. I must admit there were no second thoughts as I dived out the door. Four Taroona volunteers arrived in southern Taroona to a fire in a home – a home perhaps of your neighbour, or your friend or the friend of your friend. We drop everything to be there to help, and sometimes we make a difference. Today we did. While our officer described the details of the situation back to firecom and ensured nobody was trapped inside, another member set to making the area safe by removing the electricity connection (this proved challenging at 3 stories high). A third member (that’s me) doused the flames to cool the fire down. The fourth set up a water source for our tanker. By then we were joined by our professional colleagues from Hobart and Glenorchy who had to deal with the ANZAC day marches (with speed and diplomacy) in order to support us. The fire was extinguished by a crew from Hobart and then Taroona joined the Hobart crew in breathing apparatus to fully cool any remaining hot spots. This teamwork has become a major focus of our training and the coordination and collaboration between the professionals and the volunteers really made for a success in
The Taroona Volunteer Fire Brigade training at Tasmania Fire Service’s Cambridge facility containing the fire to the smallest area we could, and saving the house. We wish the family a speedy return to their home. Only a night or two later we were back on the road dealing with a car accident. Nearly the whole brigade turned out to that call. A young girl had a lucky escape – when driving home she found herself upside down on the road. The strength of our team was displayed that night – in the dedication and training, but also in experience and the longevity of the teams serving. Two members, Ivor and Chris (not me), recently received their Five Years of Service badges and they’re still considered to be pretty new! Congratulations to them and to all the members who have 10 and even 15 years of service to their names. I am one of the newer members of the brigade (no badges yet!)) but in the heat of the situation I found great calm from being so well trained. Not only have I been privileged to be trained by some amazing fire fighters in our team, but also by the Tasmania Fire Service, which justifiably prides itself on its courses. Great training however requires great resourcing, and here I’d like to shout a big thank you for some amazingly generous giving, which has allowed recent upgrades to our fire station resources. TasWater upgraded our hydrants at no cost to us, to allow us to train with two hydrants; this allows us to ‘compete’ and hone our skills in that crucible. A Federal Government grant for concrete slabs and lighting has improved the safety of our training as much of our training occurs at night after we come home from our ‘other lives’. We are now saving madly to reseal our driveway (great for a speedy ‘getaway’) and will keep you in the loop about that. We may need your help as we may have a shortfall of funds, so watch this space. And as for the floorboards they look a treat. My wife smiles and every time I look at them now I’m reminded of the great community of people I live with.

a bushcare/coastcare group supported by Kingborough Council.
TEN is a volunteer landcare/coastcare group. Since 1987, under the guidance of Kingborough Council, we have been rehabilitating and caring for Taroona’s foreshore and gully reserves. Our work includes removing invasive weeds, planting local coastal natives and community education. We have also produced several interpretive publications (on habitat gardening and local coastal natives), and installed a podcast trail along the foreshore and a plant trail in the schools’ bushland. Our website (www.ten.org.au) includes details of upcoming events, information on our rich natural and cultural heritage, our worst weeds and how to manage them, and our wonderful local natives for planting in your garden to improve habitat for local wildlife.
GRANT FOR LOCAL RESTORATION WORK We have been fortunate enough to receive a small grant from NRM South. It will be used to rehabilitate the foreshore at the northern end of the high school.

This restoration work will support the aboriginal heritage values of this coastal area – which features the largest aboriginal midden on the Derwent River. Greening Australia will be doing the work in late August. In September there will be a celebratory planting once the restoration work is done, to which the community will be invited.
MONTHLY WORKING BEES Working bees are held from 10am–12 noon on the first Sunday of every month (unless otherwise specified). Everyone is welcome and we provide training, and equipment for most activities. Your help is making a difference to the environment in Taroona! At our May working bee we worked at improving the area below the soccer ground. In June we had a joint activity with the Taroona Primary school removing weeds from near the Kindergarten. Parents, children and TEN members worked together to improve the area and on July 2 we will again work there, planting the area. WORKING BEE PROGRAM FOR THE REST OF 2017 July 2

News from the Taroona Football Club The 2017 season is in full swing. We have been very fortunate with mostly clear weather so far this season resulting in very few cancellations of games or training. Kelvedon Park is a spectacular location, and visiting teams often comment on how lucky we are! We have eleven Youth teams in competitions from U12 to U18, including four boys and seven girls teams. For the first time we have two girls’ Development teams that are playing boys competitions, providing higher intensity games to challenge them and enhance their development. We have two women’s teams who train as a squad. Our senior women are competing in the PFD Women’s Super League, which is the top tier for women in Tasmania. It is a state-wide competition providing opportunities for the team to travel to north of the state to play Launceston City and Ulverstone. This season we welcomed Ben Horgan back to the Club as Senior Women’s coach. Ben is a highly experienced, accredited coach who is making a substantial contribution to improving the quality of football at the club. We currently have four men’s teams with our senior men competing in the Southern Championship competition. We invite member of the community to come down to Kelvedon and cheer our teams along from the hill whilst enjoying a pie and a coffee from our fabulous kiosk!

Vale Dr. Alan Wallace – 1927-2017 Dr Alan Wallace, long term Taroona GP, passed away at 90 years of age on 4 May 2017. Alan and his wife Hilary served the Taroona community for decades as the local GPs operating from their practice on the corner of Taroona Crescent. Their surgery was burnt to the ground in the 1967 Hobart fires; Alan narrowly escaping the burning building in the attempt to save equipment and files. From the ashes the surgery was rapidly rebuilt to allow them to re-establish their practice. Alan was also a member of the Taroona Ex-Services Association and a keen member of the Taroona Tennis Club. The Taroona Community Association conveys our sympathy to Hilary and family.
Walking to Wellness Every Wednesday 6.30pm rain, hail or shine the Taroona Walking Group sets off on an hour of chatting, sightseeing and of course walking! Walking reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke, improves balance, increases endurance strength and reduces body fat. It helps to clear the mind, which is a great way to end a busy day. Our social needs are also catered for, by meeting up with a nice bunch of locals each week. It’s a good time to discuss, debrief and catch up on news. As true Taroona locals, we explore new and exciting tracks of Taroona that you may not even know exist. Come along and join us for a walk Wednesdays 6.30pm at the Taroona Community Hall. You never know where a walk may take you. – Louise Find us on Facebook: GOprojects – Taroona Walking Group

Global Fishing Insights
Seawater Pump Station The new IMAS seawater supply pump station has received council planning approval. Construction tenders have been released for two works packages; one for the marine based elements and one for the land based elements. The marine works are expected to be undertaken between July and October this year. It is expected that the foreshore walking track will be closed for around four weeks to facilitate the inshore placement of the intake pipelines. This closure is likely to occur in September but is subject to confirmation once the tender has been awarded. The timing of the land based works is currently being determined.
A unique fisheries database created by IMAS researcher Professor Reg Watson is providing unprecedented insights into global fishing catches between 1950 and 2014. The study found that fishers from 193 countries caught more than 5.8 trillion tonnes of fish from 1443 species during the 65-year period. Researchers are using the data to study fisheries management, the global impact of fishing, and how the benefits accrue to different countries. For more information, have a look at the IMAS website (http://bit.ly/2oVZnfK).
Crayfish Point Did you know that some types of fishing are not allowed in the waters around Crayfish Point? The Crayfish Point area is a no take zone for Rock Lobster and Abalone, allowing the site to be used for research purposes. It is okay to fish in the area with a rod and line (no gill net fishing is allowed). IMAS conducts annual surveys of the southern rock lobster population in the area as part of a study that has been running since the 1990s. Over the years, this study has provided valuable growth information on rock lobster populations. The new IMAS research vessel, Lowinna 3
New IMAS Vessel IMAS has taken delivery of a new coastal research vessel named, Lowinna 3, to replace the ageing Lowinna. Built to commercial survey standard by a local Hobart builder Alfab, the new vessel is 6.5 metre alloy with an integrated engine pod powered by twin 115hp Honda motors. Fitted out with davit, electronics, dive door and dive tank rack, she will be used around the State for fisheries resource management and other projects such as urchin surveys.
About IMAS The Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) is a centre of excellence for both research and education at the University of Tasmania.
The Taroona Waters (Crayfish Point) area extends from a southeasterly arc 800 metres from the shore at the end of Nubeena Crescent, continuing 800 metres offshore to the boat ramp on Taroona Beach. There is also a 200 metre buffer zone that surrounds the area starting from the shore of the Seaview Ave walking track and 200 metres west of the boat ramp at Taroona Beach (image: DPIPWE)
Our research is innovative, relevant, and globally distinctive. Our education delivers first-class programs resulting in highly trained scientists and researchers serving the needs of academic institutions, industry, government and the community.

The Taroona Good Karma Network The Taroona Good Karma Network (TGKN) is a closed group on Facebook which I created to help residents in the area become more connected so that together we could create a kinder and safer community. I started the group on 11 January and today we have 588 members, so we seem to have hit a chord. This network has proved useful for all sorts of things, e.g., getting advice, finding good service providers, finding lost pets, borrowing tools, help with gardening/ shopping/renovating, finding people to exercise with, passing on surplus harvest or seedlings, giving stuff that others might need, sharing the sighting of dolphins and auroras, and sharing experience of the NBN in Taroona. The community has used it to establish the Taroona Book Exchange, collect for the Hobart Women’s Service, set up book groups, yoga groups, and Tai Chi amongst others. I’ve had a lot of tremendous feedback from people who have benefited greatly from TGKN and I’m hoping it provides a forum for us to create a kinder, safer world.
The community book exchange created by Taroona Good Karma members Robyn Hopcroft and Victoria Jacob. The top drawer has been allocated to adults and the bottom for kids. They’ve even created a small shelf at the top of the cabinet for surplus vegetables or fruit donations. To join, search Facebook for Taroona Good Karma Network, and ask to join, or ask a friend who is a member to add you. – Jill Currey

News from POSSUMS PLAYCENTRE Lantern parade The children at Possums Playcentre have been busy making lanterns for their annual Lantern parade to celebrate the winter solstice. This is the eighth year for our special event. It is an exciting experience for our Possum families as they gather at dusk to walk through Taroona Park with their lanterns and then gather together in the Community Hall for a warming meal of soup, sandwiches and sweets.
Thank you to our wonderful Possums Committee and the Taroona Fire Brigade for ensuring that everything runs smoothly and safely. Thank you also to the Kingborough Council for the use of beautiful Taroona Park for our parade.
Vacancies There are still some vacancies at our early learning centre. Please phone 0418390432 or enrol online at www. possumsplaycentre.org.au

Taroona Scout Group: Recognising past achievers A vital part of the Taroona Scout Group’s activities is the section award schemes. We have established a Group Honour Board to recognise past achievers and we are looking for past members who achieved the highest award levels in Cubs and Scouts. Historically for Cubs this was “two eyes” (stars) on the cap and recently the Grey Wolf. Historically for Scouts this was the Scouts Cord and recently the Adventurer Cord and Australian Scout Medallion If you achieved these awards, or know someone who did, please contact us so they can be recognised. Scouting activities are wide and varied. The Joeys, Cubs and Scouts joined with Indonesian artists to contribute to the ogoh-ogoh project at Dark Mofo. It was a night full of fun and colour. The Joeys, Cubs and Scouts were fortunate to meet the ogoh-ogoh makers, three artists from Bali and Indonesia. They made their own ogoh-ogoh, created “eye” lanterns, learnt about Balinese Hindu culture and the meaning of the ogoh-ogoh and joined in a noisy, colourful procession to the Balinese ogoh-ogoh
Taroona Joeys, Cubs and Scouts join the parade around the ogohogoh at Dark Mofo. at the Dark Park, which this year was in the shape of a Tasmanian Tiger. Again the Group continued the tradition of participating in the Taroona ANZAC Day dawn service. Each ANZAC Day the Taroona Ex-Services Club awards to one of our youth members the Spirit of ANZAC Award. This year’s recipient was James Hill. This award recognises the attributes of scouts that may normally go unnoticed, such as willingness, friendliness, and a “Have a go” approach and endeavour, to push themselves to try something challenging. The Taroona Venturers have also been busy this year. There has been bike riding from Neika to South Hobart and to Tinderbox Hill, some orienteering around Kingston, walking to a cave on Mt Wellington and climbing at Rockit. Eating is usually part of most venturer activities! Recently they went on a ‘Chip Charge’, visiting a number of cafes and rating the taste of chips, They also came up with a new take on a treasure hunt, where the clues lead them to ingredients which they used to cook a recipe – if they didn’t get all the clues they couldn’t make the food. The unit council also decided to do some online courses, including the Responsible Serving of Alcohol. The older ones also have done the Working With Vulnerable People card. As a number of our members were in the Hobart College production, we went to see it – and it was a very professional performance. Emma organised for us to go to the School of Nursing who run PARTY (Prevent Alcohol and Risk Related Trauma in Youth), an excellent and hands-on program run around the world. It has indeed been an active year.

Sewer Pipeline Replacement TasWater is delivering the finishing touches to a challenging project replacing 200m of poor condition landslip-affected sewer near the Taroona High School. This will limit the risk of future overflows to the local environment. The remaining works will install a pit to monitor future land slippage, together with landscaping and tree replacement of the affected area using local flora recommended by the Taroona Environment Network and the Taroona High School Association. TasWater would like to thank the Taroona Community for its patience while these essential works are being undertaken.

Green Waste Collection The Taroona Community Association recently requested that Kingborough Council consider providing a green waste service to Taroona residents. The Council has advised that it is currently in the process of developing a waste management strategy for the municipality which will shortly go out for community comment. One of the recommendations within the strategy is for the implementation of a green waste collection service throughout Kingborough. Some further work will be required into how such a service may be applied but the Council acknowledges that such a collection has positive benefits and so will be strongly considered.
