By Jo Kennett

THE NSW government has just announced that the track to the summit of Wollumbin Mount Warning will re-

open in 2027, with a number of people weighing in on the news including some state politicians and media. The track was closed during the pandemic under public health orders, causing an outcry

amongst many local residents and visitors as well as local businesses who had previously enjoyed over a hundred thousand visitors per year.

2027 Wollumbin reopening

By Jo Kennett

THE NEWS that the Wollumbin/Mount Warning climbing track will be reopened in June, 2027, has been welcomed by locals who petitioned the government to have it reopened, however there are questions over the 18 month timeframe.

An upper house MP called it a “victory for commonsense” after the Minister for the Environment, Penny Sharpe released a statement saying the “NSW Government has extended the closure of the Wollumbin Summit and Track until 30 June 2027, with a view to reopening the summit once practical safety and culturally appropriate options are resolved.”

“Wollumbin (Mount Warning) summit track and Aboriginal Place (Wollumbin Summit) were originally closed during the pandemic to address public safety risks and allow for consultation with the Aboriginal community and other stakeholders about future management of the site,” Ms Sharpe said.

“Over the past year, I continued constructive discussions with a wide range of stakeholders, including user groups, councils, the Wollumbin Consultative Group and other community members.

“These conversations highlighted Wollumbin’s significance to Aboriginal communities and the wider public.”

Ms Sharpe said she understood extending the temporary closure would disappoint some visitors.

“However, a number of practical challenges – such as ensuring safe access – must still be addressed,” she said.

“The additional time will help us create a clear plan for the future of this special place, that respects cultural responsibilities and safeguards visitor safety.”

The mountain drew more than 100,000 visitors annually before it was closed down “temporarily” under public health orders during the pandemic in March 2020, although many people continued to climb the summit track after the closure.

In 2021, Member for Tweed Geoff Provest presented a petition from Craig Murphy in NSW parliament with more than 1,000 signatures calling for the mountain to be reopened.

Reopen Mt Warning team member Steven Gibbs said it was great news but it should be opening next year “and not in 18 months time.” Mr Gibbs was going to climb the mountain with his grandson on his 5th birthday in April, 2020, but says he will be 12 when he gets to climb it.

“It should never have been closed in the first place with the false reports of safety issues, when hundreds of thousands of dollars was spent repairing the summit track after the 2017 flood to a better condition that it had been in prior years,” Mr Gibbs said.

Tweed Shire councillor Kimberley Hone has been calling for the track to be reopened and said she was “excited and emotional at the great news this week because it means the next generation can also experience the mountain and learn its rich cultural heritage.”

“This is a step forward in unity for our region and will repair the annual, multimillion dollar tourism sector that devastated

The Wollumbin summit track is set to reopen in June 2027

local small businesses and forced many closures,” Cr Hone said.

“Business will boom again and if we can employ Indigenous rangers, as I’ve always proposed, we can all learn to value this space for its cultural and environmental significance.

“I will keep fighting to keep the government to account and to ensure all stakeholders, including the elders from the Ngarakwal clan- who have been excluded from the consultation process, have a seat at the table.”

Influential radio shock jock, 2GB’s Ben Fordham, put his weight behind the campaign to have the trail reopened early in 2024, even offering to pay the fine of hikers busted for defying the controversial climbing ban.

Upper House MP John Ruddick, who launched a parliamentary petition to reopen the summit trail, called the decision a “good, common sense decision.”

He suggested the locals could go up and clear the track - “there’s fallen logs and everything” - in three weeks instead of waiting 18 months “for bureaucrats to clean it up”, in an interview on 2GB. Ruddick called it one of the most beautiful national parks in NSW and said he had “a terrific time” on the mountain just over a year ago doing a “rebel climb” up the mountain although he admitted, “I really thought I was going to die up there.”

Tweed Mayor’s Bondi tribute MAYOR CHRIS Cherry has travelled to Bondi to lay a wreath on behalf of the residents of the Tweed at a memorial to the victims of the terrorist attack on December 14.

Waverley Council Mayor Will Nemesh invited mayors from across NSW to join him in laying tributes at the Bondi Pavillion, which has become an unofficial memorial to the victims, to send a message of love and solidarity for the people of Bondi, Waverley Council and the Jewish community.

Councillor Cherry joined the Byron Shire Council mayor Sarah Ndiaye, “to stand in support of our Jewish community and the victims of Sunday’s attack.”

“It was a very sobering visit to Sydney but incredible to see the outpouring of love that has come from people from all over the country and beyond,” Cr Cherry said.

Earlier the mayor said that, “The people of the Tweed Shire want our local Jewish community, those in Bondi and across the state to know you are not alone.”

“We hurt with you and stand by you during these unprecedented times,” she said.

Council also put out a message to the community calling for blood donors in the wake of the tragedy, saying that, “At this time of year especially, we hope you can unite with each other, friends, families, congregations, neighbourhoods and communities to draw on our collective strength.”

“This is how we will respond to hate and

violence. This is how we will remain united over the weeks, months and years ahead.”

Lifesavers across the shire also gathered on Tweed beaches for three-minutes silence in tribute to the victims in the wake of the attack.

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made out of titanium, a biocompatible material surgically placed into the jaw bone. Dental Implants offer a secure solution to replace one or more teeth, providing a solid foundation for holding a crown, bridge, or denture.

They look, feel and function like natural teeth.

They are recommended to improve aesthetics, function (chewing) and speech. And they’re also easy to keep clean — just like your other teeth.

Low flying notice needed at Dungay in 2026

How is it allowed to have these low flying planes criss cross over our farmland in Dungay and surrounding areas without any notification?

As landowners just to do a simple pile burn we have to apply for burn permits from the RFS, inform the burn notice line and give 24-hours’ notice to all our neighbours and this is the right and courteous thing to do and I completely agree with the need to do these preparations.

In today’s world of communication being so easy how hard could it be to send and email, text or some form of notification of the following points.

1. When they will be doing the low-level flying (just to clarify what I mean by low level flying, these guys are less than 50m above the ground).

2. What are they doing, is it photographing, mapping, fire zone surveillance or crop dusting/fire ant poisoning or the like.

If the reason is point 1 then other than frightening the sh*t out of the cattle and other animals I guess there is no real harm done but it would be nice to know before so if we choose to we can put the cattle in another paddock or put them in the holding pen so to reduce their fear and lock up the other animals for their protection.

If it is point 2 then I believe we have every right to know so we can take precautions by moving them to safer areas, washing the chemicals or whatever is being deployed, from our animals and ourselves.

These planes do not care who or what is in the way they have flown over me many times be it on the tractor or motorbike (January 2) so they have less than nil respect for the cattle or any animal.

A simple one paragraph of information sent to us is all that is required.

Is it lack of thought, lack of respect or plain arrogance – take your pick but it just not right.

Thank you for the wonderful Xmas lunch

A huge thank you to the volunteers and sponsors of the Pottsville Community Hall Xmas lunch. As usual it was excellent!

A delicious meal, a great atmosphere and the true spirit of Christmas enveloped the hall.

Everyone that attends, loves it, but it would not happen without the organising and work done to gather the food and goodies (including home baked bikkies), prepare the food, decorate the hall, welcome the attendees, serve the food and clean up afterwards. There is carol singing, mainly by the kids and Santa.

We all go on our way with some genuine good wishes and a few goodies and feel thoroughly pampered.

Thanks folks, you make it a great Chrtismas day!

Seabreeze high school response

We are writing to you in response to the news that a high school will be built in Seabreeze Estate at Pottsville. As we have not be afforded, as Pottsville residents, to have our say we appreciated the opportunity to do so.

We are greatly disappointed and concerned by this news for the following reasons and to say that this site is totalling inappropriate for a school.

1. Both Tom Merchant Drive and Seabreeze Boulevard flood in adverse weather. Pottsville shopping precinct has flooded as well as Overall Drive.

2. Culvert, on site block, floods too.

3. Traffic including parental set downs and pick-ups and bus set downs and pick-ups will cause extreme congestion in such a tight area.

4. Change of school periods will necessitate some sort of system to be heard. Concern over noise in general for neighbours and for nearby BUPA Aged Care.

5. Height limit for buildings are a concern.

6. Surrounding homes greatly im-

pacted by school position within housing estate.

7. Parking always a daily concern.

Even more concern for large school events.

8. Most later constructed side streets are narrow, not normal width.

9. There is currently only one active exit from the western end of Seabreeze Estate without traffic clogging two narrow side streets.

10. Traffic comings and goings for Koala Beach Estate of concern with narrow streets similar to Seabreeze Estate.

11. Environmental impact on areas as detailed in previous developments which Tweed Shire Council refused approval on grounds of flora and fauna sensitivity are only metres away from the site.

12. At the last state election a National member was returned, not a Labor candidate hence constituents did not vote for Labor’s promise of new high school. Was this a vote buying exercise?

13. The high school should be in a more prominent position with more space, more access no dangers of flooding and be mindful of its impact on the surrounding community.

14. Sadly I can imagine long term it will necessitate leaving the area.

15. Having lived in Seabreeze since 2008 we have never sighted a petition anywhere in Pottsville. The high school was never advertised for estate until a councillor wanted a high school and council made it a priority and blocked future housing on the site. Site maps from developer only labelled area for future development.

Shark monitoring suggestion at creek

Considering how busy Cudgen Creek is with visitors at this time of year, would it be proactive of the Tweed Shire Council to provide drone checks randomly to give safety clearance.

There have been a few bull shark

sightings recently and it would be a huge tragedy if someone was attacked when surveillance would be the answer to prevent this occurring.

Rhonda Martin, Kingscliff

Respect farmers in the energy debate

I will take issue with Stephen Collins-Haynes (TVW, Letters, 25 Dec to Jan 8).

I was deeply offended with your comment about the people on the land that they were wealthy or are companies, because those that grow your food are hard people that are not wealthy - there is no greed there.

I know 10 years ago there were 400 nuclear reactors in operation in 30 countries around the world in North America, Europe and Asia so why not here in Australia.

Stephen mentioned about Chernobyl; well it was poorly designed, flaws, human errors made by the workers -they wanted production over safety.

The Three Mile unit only partially was in melt down and there were no health effects on plant workers or the public.

Then the Fukushima nuclear accident was triggered by an earthquake and subsequent tsunami, which disabled power supply and cooling of three reactors.

The renewables are not being done responsibly by foreign people, who are bullying landowners, and they do not care about the land or people on it.

Shirley Gill, Banora Point

Clean power has consequences

In response to S Collins Haynes on nuclear energy, specifically the inference of forest loss due to ‘agricultural expansion’ and greed.

Firstly, a fact of life – we do need to eat, and to cook, and to have shelter.

Saying forest loss from renewables is “a fraction by comparison” doesn’t justify adding another source of irreversible damage.

Environmental harm is cumulative,

and clearing carbon-dense forests to address climate change can be counterproductive.

Intent doesn’t cancel impact, and renewables are not immune to the same profit-driven incentives blamed for so called ‘agricultural expansion’.

Until “responsible development” is consistently demonstrated—not just promised—forest protection and climate action should not be treated as competing goals when viable alternatives exist.

And as for the argument about Agricultural expansion.

• Australia’s total agricultural land area is not growing and has shown periods of decline over decades.

Statbase • Some agricultural land has been permanently lost to conservation classifications or other uses. Australian Rural & Regional News • Ongoing pressures from urban expansion, infrastructure, and competing land demands contribute to concerns about the availability and protection of prime farmland. Adelaide Now+1 • Land degradation and environmental pressures add further complexity to how much agricultural land remains productive. NSW State of the Environment As for greed, calling out greed selectively weakens the argument; if greed is the problem, renewables are not immune to it.

And renewables, a project can be climate-positive in theory while being locally destructive in practice. e.g.

Chalumbin Wind farm.

Lifeguard urges caution SE V EN PEOPLE have drowned in NSW from New Year’s Eve up to January 5 and despite no major incidents on the Tweed Coast, lifeguards are still warning people to be cautious as record crowds flock to the beach.

“For the first week of the summer holidays you couldn’t ask for better conditions,” Northern NSW Lifeguard Coordinator Scott McCartney said.

“The sun was out, it was dead flat with good winds so everyone was on the beach and living it up.

“Over that Christmas Day, Boxing Day period I had comments from pretty well everyone that was working that it was probably the busiest we have seen our Tweed beaches.

“I went down to Kingscliff and there were cabanas everywhere; there was barely a patch of sand to sit on.

“The creek at Kingscliff was just chockas. Even north and south Pottsville, where we usually only get locals coming down in the morning, were packed.”

The calm was followed by a cool southerly front moving up to the Tweed Coast.

“A bit of swell popped after Christmas including over New Years and we had to close all the open beaches for a few

days,” Scott told The Weekly.

“Even Kingscliff was closed on one day but the people have been awesome.

“When we’ve had to close the beach, they have either come up and asked what the situation was or just followed instructions which was great.”

The rough conditions and closed beaches saw many people flock to the relative safety of the creeks.

“It’s that time of year that everyone comes on holidays and no matter what, they are going to get wet. We encourage them to head to the creeks and river mouths which is safer than the open beach when we do close the beach,” Scott said.

Surf Life Saving NSW volunteers are patrolling beaches on weekends and public holidays, with Australian Lifeguard Services patrolling during the week, between 9am and 5pm.

“We have lifeguards on at Duranbah Beach, Fingal, North Kingscliff, Kingscliff, Salt, Casuarina, Hastings Point, Pottsville North and Pottsville South,” Scott said.

“We rescued a few people at Kingscliff just after the swell hit. After it dropped off a bit, people got a bit more comfortable and went in again.

“There was a lot of water surging around and on the lower tide it grabbed two people and swept them out at Kingscliff, just north of the surf club.

“One of our younger lifeguards, Jules Loemker – he’s a former Australian board title holder for his age – jumped on a board and was able to grab them and bring them in.”

Scott is wary of jinxing things but says that up this end of the North Coast things have been runny pretty smoothly.

“Hopefully it continues that way,” he said.

“The forecast is fairly nice for the next week, with relatively light south-south east winds and not too much swell around.”

Shark sightings A few sharks have been spotted.

“It was nothing out of the ordinary,” Scott said.

“Just a few smaller bull sharks and reef sharks and that kind of thing but we haven’t had to close our beaches too much for sharks.

“We’ve closed the beach maybe a couple of times for sharks but other than that the drone will see a reef shark here and there.

“Everyone has been spotting that one in Cudgen Creek (Kingscliff) which they have been posting about on Kingscliff Happenings but it doesn’t look too big.

“It is a creek so even though you don’t see them I’m sure they are up there at times.”

Scott says most of the bait balls seem to have gone.

“The drone was spotting sharks following those bait balls but over the last week we really haven’t had them come back,” he said.

Some surfers spotted sharks swimming among pods of dolphins before the holidays.

“I’ve been doing this job for around 15 years – a lot of the time we’ve had attacks people say there were dolphins around,” Scott said.

“Whenever there are a lot of fish and dolphins, there are often sharks as well.

“People see dolphins and get excited. We tell them to be cautious. It’s healthy marine life so other things could be hanging around.”

Regional student shines Budds sign gone

By Rada Campbell

A MURWILLUMBAH-born student from Mount St Patrick College has delivered a result that is turning heads well beyond the Northern Rivers, placing sixth in New South Wales for Chemistry while still in Year 11.

Alexander Wellm achieved four Band 6 results, an outcome rarely seen at metropolitan schools, let alone in a regional community, and one that has filled local families with pride.

For Alexander, chemistry became more than just another subject when it started to make sense in the real world.

“Module five is my favourite,” he told The Weekly. “It’s about equilibrium reactions, where reactions go forward and backwards. I like understanding how that works, and how chemistry connects to other sciences and everyday life.”

Balancing Year 11 studies alongside HSC-level subjects has required discipline rather than shortcuts. Alexander said he focuses on understanding every concept thoroughly before moving on, a habit that has carried him through accelerated learning.

Despite his standout Chemistry result, Alexander is keeping his future options open.

“I feel like the skills I’ve learned in chemistry will definitely apply,” he said. “But I think I’ll probably do more maths in my future.”

Alexander’s chemistry teacher, Hamish Bunney, said the student’s success was built on diligence as much as talent. A former Mount St Patrick College student himself, Mr Bunney returned to teach at the school after graduating in 2018 and is now stepping into a wellbeing leadership role.

“It feels like home,” he said. “I was taught here, including by Narelle Sherrah. Coming back and passing those experiences on to the next generation is really special.”

Mr Bunney said Alexander stood out early in the classroom.

“Chemistry is a subject where if you miss one small concept, it can undo you later,” he said.

“Alex understood that from the beginning. He was always asking questions and making sure he understood everything, and he often helped his classmates.”

Mount St Patrick College runs acceleration programs in maths and science, allowing exceptional students to study senior subjects earlier and learn alongside peers at a similar level.

Vice Principal Narelle Sherrah said Alexander’s pathway began years before high school.

“He was identified as gifted back in Year 5 and was already attending maths classes ahead of his cohort,” she said. “To see a student from a regional school place sixth in the state is extraordinary.”

Ms Sherrah said achievements like Alexander’s challenge outdated assumptions about regional education.

“When you look at the top results, they’re usually dominated by Sydney schools,” she said.

“This shows what’s possible here.”

Alexander is also an accomplished swimmer, actively involved in school life and has taken part in the school’s Solomon Islands immersion program, reinforcing his reputation as an all-round student.

For Murwillumbah families reading the paper, the message is clear: world-class talent can grow, learn and thrive right here.

The original sign was on the building across Proudfoot Lane. INSET: Peter Budd feels it's the end of an era

By Madeleine Murray

HAVE YOU been wondering what happened to the iconic Budds sign that dominated the skyline from certain angles on the rooftop of the Mitre 10 building in Murwillumbah?

The rumours have been flying around the town and on social media for the last couple of months.

After following a few false leads, The Weekly can finally report the story.

In early November a roofer who was replacing the roof of the Mitre 10 building found that the sign was rusty and unstable.

“He felt that it could blow over and injure people on the street below, that it was a liability,” the manager at the Mitre 10 shop told The Weekly.

The roofer consulted with the owner of the Mitre 10 Murwillumbah store and they decided to scrap it. It was cut up into pieces on the roof,

lowered down in bundles by rope into a truck and taken away for scrap metal.

The manager told The Weekly, “The sign has been gone for almost two months now and people have just started making a big fuss about it.”

He said, “It was old, it was unstable, it was a liability. The past is the past. Personally I’m over it.”

The Weekly tried to contact the Tweed regional Museum and the Tweed Shire Council but they are both closed for the holidays.

We managed to track down Peter Budd, 97 years old, who ran Budd’s farm supplies, the site of the current Mitre 10.

“When the sign was first put up, it had neon lights running around it, so it was quite a sight, the only neon in Murwillumbah,” he told The Weekly.

“It’s been there a long, a long time, and if it’s structurally unsound and dangerous, then it’s probably time for it to go. You don’t want to put anybody in harm’s way, you don’t want it to fall on anybody or injure anybody.

“It’s really the end of an era.”

Another person in the Budd family said, “I think it was witless to just chop it up and throw it away. Just because it’s time for it to go, doesn’t mean it needs to be destroyed.”

The debate heated up on Facebook where an ‘anonymous participant’ wrote, “It’s really disappointing that the iconic Budds rooftop sign on the Mitre10 building in Murwillumbah has been removed and destroyed.

“That sign was part of our town’s story. It stood as a reminder of local enterprise, family businesses and the layers of history that make Murwillumbah such a special place.

“When we lose important pieces of our built environment, we lose a bit of what makes our town unique. Heritage isn’t just about grand buildings – it’s about the small details that connect us to our past and give character to our streetscapes.”

Secondary dwellings housing inquiry in Tweed

Tweed Shire Council’s Denise Galle speaks at the inquiry at Twin Towns

make rural workers’ dwellings easier to obtain.

Council position Denise Galle, Director of Planning and Regulation at Tweed Shire Council, said council supported allowing granny flats on lots over 10 hectares and a whole second house on lots over 40 hectares.

However, she warned council could lose up to $4.3 million in rates revenue, as second dwellings on rural land cannot be separately rated under current legislation.

Mayor Cherry said rural worker dwellings and attached dual occupancies were already permissible on lots of any size in the shire, to support intergenerational farming families and rural workers.

She also supported a staged approach, allowing additional dwellings on lots over 10 hectares initially, before reviewing whether that minimum lot size could be reduced.

Kimberley Hone questioned why rural landholders faced stricter rules than urban residents.

“If residential properties with a tiny backyard

are allowed to have a second dwelling, why can’t larger blocks in more rural areas?” she asked.

She opposed increased rates for additional dwellings, suggesting instead community contributions similar to those required of developers building unit complexes.

At the December 16 hearing, the inquiry heard from Tom Loomes, Executive Director at the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, who is leading the NSW Government’s major housing policy reforms and long-term strategic planning. Mr Loomes raised concerns about potential land-use conflicts with neighbouring working farms.

Tiny homes and manufactured housing were also discussed.

NSW MP Janelle Saffin said in September that she supported new legislation for rural dwellings and believed a workable solution could be found to address rates issues.

The Select Committee on Rural Housing and Second Dwellings Reform is expected to report

by February 2026.

THE NSW Government’s Inquiry into Rural Housing and Second Dwellings Reform held two public hearings before Christmas, with a number of Tweed organisations speaking at a session at Twin Towns on December 8.

In the Tweed Shire, secondary dwellings (known as granny flats) are currently permitted on lots over 450 square metres, subject to zoning (including R1, R2, R3 and RU5) and specific controls relating to size – either a maximum of 60 square metres or 20 per cent of the main dwelling – as well as setback requirements.

However, Local Environmental Plan (LEP) controls limit secondary dwellings on rural land, with new strategies now exploring options for larger, detached secondary dwellings in rural areas.

The committee heard from Chair of the Far North Coast Branch of the NSW Farmers Association Craig Hug, and Peter Bennett from the Tyalgum District Community Association.

Both speakers supported legislative changes to allow detached secondary dwellings on properties larger than 10 hectares.

Mr Huf said existing policy tools, including rural housing reform, could “help family-run farms stay sustainable and keep the next generation on the land.”

Inquiry Chair John Ruddick MLC noted Mr Huf’s background in the construction industry and asked whether the proposed reforms would help the local construction industry.

Mr Huf responded that his focus was primarily on farming, but said the construction industry was “bogged down in a lot of red and green tape.”

“That’s why we possibly need simpler pathways to provide housing,” he said. “That’s the feedback I get from many people in the sector – that the red and green tape actually burdens output and delays houses being completed.”

Mr Bennett said his organisation supported detached secondary dwellings on properties above 10 hectares, with a second dwelling of up to 180 square metres, alongside an average original dwelling of 270 square metres(450sqm total). He added that surrounding shires already allow detached secondary dwellings on rural land.

Airbnb concerns Mr Bennett proposed that any new dwelling be required to provide long-term accommodation for the first three years after construction.

“After that, it could be used for Airbnb, but only for 60 days a year,” he said.

“It is our hope that these additional houses would be used for permanent accommodation, and not simply built for Airbnb.”

Mr Huf said the NSW Farmers Association’s priority was “keeping the next generation on the farm; secondly, permanent rentals or worker accommodation to support farm operations.”

“Notwithstanding that,” he said, “we have to remember our two biggest income earners in this shire are agriculture and tourism. To have tourists, we’ve got to put them somewhere.”

At a further hearing on December 16, Deputy Chair of the Environmental Planning and Development Committee, and lawyer Roslyn McCulloch, said councils were concerned about the fragmentation of agricultural land.

“They want to ensure new dwellings are related to the agricultural use of the land and don’t simply become Airbnb properties, but instead provide housing for people in regional areas,” she said.

Committee member Emily Suvaal noted that provisions already exist for rural workers’ dwellings.

Mr Huf argued that it was difficult to meet the criteria required to demonstrate the “economic viability” of a farming operation under existing rules. Tweed Shire Mayor Chris Cherry responded that council was already working to

Sydney to Hobart dream for local doctor

By Jo Kennett

A MARINE Rescue Point Danger volunteer has just fulfilled a long-held dream by completing what was a gruelling Sydney to Hobart yacht race on his brother’s boat Solace.

Pediatrician David Pincus has been sailing and racing for years but says in recent years he had been spending more time with NSW Marine Rescue Point Danger.

“About four years ago Paul bought Solace, and in 2024 he decided to have a go at the Sydney to Hobart,” David said.

“I couldn’t go but I flew down with a couple of other guys and sailed it back to Sydney.”

David describes that trip as “absolutely horrible.”

“It was so cold and so windy and I vomited so much,” he said.

“We got caught in a gale and it was absolutely terrible and we were just shivering with cold for a couple of days.”

After a number of deaths in the race over the years, the safety rules have been tightened, with Paul Pincus forking out a small fortune for new sails, electrical work and safety gear including Automatic Identification Systems on lifejackets.

If crew go overboard the lifejacket location and boat name shows up on the boat’s display.

With an average speed of seven knots (about seven miles or 11 km per hour) the captain told the crew the goal was just to have fun, stay safe and finish the race.

“Solace is a nice Beneteau (44.7 feet) cruising boat; where most of the other boats are flat out designed racing boats,” David said.

“The start of the race was absolute chaos.

“There are four different lines about 150 metres away apart and so you are only allowed to sail back and forward in your zone and there were around 40 boats in ours,” he said.

“It was a spinnaker start but we were very conservative and had a reefed main and jib

up because we knew as soon as we got out the heads it was going to be 25 knots on the nose.

“A lot of boats belted out with their biggest spinnakers and several tore their spinnakers.

“It was really exciting and fantastic seeing all the boats but we knew we had 48 hours of 25 to 30 knot southerlies with three to four metre south-easterly swell and one to two metre wind waves on top of that.

“It wasn’t a bad swell, it was long with a cold breeze but every wave stopped the boat.”

The crew wore Scopolamine patches for seasicknesses and David says good wet weather gear kept him warm and dry. Every night at 6pm they had dinner on deck to plan the night’s sail.

“The boat was slamming so hard it was difficult to sleep and it was incredibly difficult to get back into wet weather gear,” David said.

“We tried to keep it dry down below but on the last day it was blowing 35 to 40 knots from behind s o we gave up.

“We were falling off the back of each wave and trying to put wet weather gear on you get thrown across and land on someone who is asleep, which isn’t very pleasant for them.

“We had a really tough trip down the NSW coast and the waves were breaking by the second night and it was very dark and hard steering.

“I tacked once and as the boat came round a wave stood right up and it was about 30 or 40 foot and we went backwards down the wave before I managed to get the nose around.”

The weather cleared on December 29 and the Solace crew had perfect sailing with 10 to 15 knot north-easterlies across Bass Strait to the top of Tasmania.

“It was really beautiful conditions; we saw lots of dolphins and whales, sunfish and seals catching fish in the waves,” David said.

As they approached the Derwent River on December 30, the wind picked up to 37 knots and the boat at one stage hit 18 knots surfing down a wave.

The Solace crew in action in the big race

“It was really good fun,” David said.

“Then the wind dropped out as we went up the Derwent and we finished at around 2pm.

“We went past the finish line and past a drinking area and they all cheered and shouted out and it was really lovely. It brings a smile to your face and tears to your eyes.

“It was a lovely trip, everybody got along well and it was a real feeling of achievement.”

David described Hobart and New Year’s Eve there as “fantastic” but says his brother is selling the boat so he won’t be back next year.

“The ultimate in Australia is to do the Sydney to Hobart and I was very lucky to have that opportunity and that will probably do me,” he said.

Volunteering at Marine Rescue Point Danger has given David skills he used in the race.

“There are a lot of people there that work on trawlers and ships and they bring a lot of knowledge as well,” he said.

“You have to help people safely and know the laws of the sea and make good judgements and I feel the sailing knowledge I have also gives me skills I can bring back as well.”

THOUSANDS OF locals have been drug and breath tested during Operation Christmas and New Year 2025. More than 60 were charged with drink driving, over 100 with drug driving and more than 1,000 traffic infringements were handed out.

Tragically eight people lost their lives on NSW roads during the 17-day holiday period, but no lives were lost on the North Coast.

The high-visibility operation, which ran in conjunction with the double-demerits period, began on Friday, December 19 and concluded on Sunday, January 4.

The operation involved Traffic and Highway Patrol Command police, as well as officers from all commands and districts across the state. Police targeted drink and drug driving, fatigue, mobile phone use, speeding and seat belt and helmet offences.

Highway Patrol’s Far North Sector conducted 18,693 Random Breath Tests, with 66 PCA (positive results); 636 random drug tests were done in our area, with 134 positive indications (RDT).

1,268 Traffic Infringement Notices (which could be for speeding, mobile phone, no helmet etc) were also handed out.

In total, NSW Police conducted 29,302 random drug tests, with 2415 drug-driving offences detected.

Police also conducted 597,703 breath tests, with 939 drink-driving offences recorded.

Across the state, police issued 40,875 Traffic Infringement Notices, with officers detecting 12,622 speed-related offences, 1200 mobile phone offences, and 669 seatbelt/helmet-related offences.

Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism Yasmin Catley said the operation’s results should concern everyone.

“We are seeing alarming rates of drug and drink driving on our roads,” Ms Catley said.

“There is no excuse to get behind the wheel of a car with alcohol or drugs in your system.

The same goes for speeding, distracted driving and not wearing a seatbelt or a helmet.

“Anyone who breaks the law is not just gambling with their life, but with the lives of their passengers and others on the road.

“Police are doing their job but we need everyone else to do theirs. Drive like your life depends on it – because it does.”

Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner David Driver, said while most drivers were well behaved, police have seen a concerning rise in the number of drug detections made on NSW roads.

Our pollies share their vision for 2026

By Jo Kennett

Mayor Chris Cherry 2026 IS shaping up to be a really important year for the Tweed.

Ever ywhere I go, I see people struggling with finding housing. We need to challenge this on all fronts as a community.

It is great to see the new owners of Kings Forest finally releasing some lots for new houses. Hopefully this release will pick up pace to meet the demand out there.

It is also fantastic to see the state government start to get serious about providing affordable housing in Tweed Heads and I am confident this year we will also see some in Murwillumbah.

At council, we will continue to progress on allowing more housing in rural areas. Last year I moved a motion to allow all rural lots to have dwelling entitlements. The state government has not supported that so we will continue to move forward with simplifying our building controls, allowing second homes in different forms on many of our rural lots and finalising our Growth Management Housing Strategy {GMHS}to see more homes available to house our community.

Over the next five years we are also investing around $1 billion in our community infrastructure such as sporting fields, park upgrades, roads

and community buildings. It is a huge program of works to get through, but with our dedicated staff, I know we can get there.

My wish for the community in the year ahead is that we have a year with no natural hazard events and can spend this year coming together as a community, building networks, supporting each other and uniting to tackle whatever the year has in store.

Sometimes in the chaos we see around us in the world, and the feeling that there is so little we can control, the most positive thing we can do is to focus on the little things, the way we as individuals can add a little joy to someone’s life. Think of it as an investment – the more kindness we spread, the happier we are.

I wish you all a happy and safe 2026, may it be a safe, fulfilling, and prosperous year for the Tweed!

Geoff Provest, MP for Tweed 2 0 2 5 WA S a year that presented both challenges and celebrations in the Tweed.

As we marked three years since the devastating floods of 2022 at the end of February, Cyclone Alfred had the Tweed once again facing a significant natural disaster. With all arms of government learning important lessons from the floods, we came together with experience to prepare.

Thousands of people filled sandbags,

protecting homes and property. People took the warnings seriously, got supplies and stayed home.

Heavy rainfall and destructive winds left tens of thousands of Tweed residents without power, some for several days. Crops were decimated and our beaches washed away.

I am extremely proud of the resilience of the Tweed. With the help of our excellent emergency services, communities once again embarked on recovery.

This year we also celebrated important milestones such as the opening of the $32 million upgrade to Kingscliff TAFE, funded by the previous Liberals and Nationals NSW Government, and the re-opening of Tumbulgum and Condong public schools that both had to be rebuilt following the 2022 floods.

In 2025 I was also able to allocate $450,000 to Tweed community organisations through the Community Building Partnerships Programs. Recipients included: $100,000 for new shade structures at Kingscliff Public School, $72,000 for Pottsville Beach Football Club, $25,000 for Bilambil Terranora Jets Junior Rugby League Football Club and almost $32,000 for Tweed Heads PCYC. For many of these organisations, it would take years to fundraise these amounts, so it is incredibly rewarding to be able to assist.

This year also marked the first birthday of the state-of-the-art $723.3 million Tweed Valley Hospital. This substantial investment in our region’s healthcare has improved access for so many people who no longer need to

travel to the major centres for treatment and care.

What’s your vision for the Tweed electorate for 2026?

A key focus area for the future of Tweed is accommodating growth in my electorate without compromising our natural environment and unique character. Housing affordability is of utmost importance. With our growing population the need for adequate infrastructure and services is vital in our community.

What are the biggest challenges your electorate faces in 2026 and is there anything you are looking at doing to help address these?

Housing availability and affordability, e-bikes, and more police. Liberal Party has proposed a registration plate plan for e-bikes for those riders under 18. The proposed scheme aims to crack down on dangerous riding and soaring injury rates.

It would allow NSW Police to issue fines to the parents of children hooning around on illegal bikes, riding dangerously on footpaths, or not wearing helmets.

Councillor Nola Firth Happy 2026 to absolutely everyone in our shire! I wish us all a year of hope, inclusion, kindness and courage to stand up for the values that matter to each of us.

Probably the most important forth-

coming council issue this year will be further community input to our Growth Management and Housing Strategy.

According to the final GMHS Options Paper we have agreed that most housing increase, including affordable housing, is likely to be in already urbanised areas that already have infrastructure support, but secondary dwellings on 10 ha and above were also included.

While this may have considerable advantages for some, possible consequent rate increases, increased weeds, habitat loss, wider spread of roaming domestic animals and loss of agricultural land are all factors to take into account when considering an increase in secondary dwellings in the GMHS. Please have your say when the draft GMHS Is on exhibition this year!

There are many other issues I hope to progress this year. Some of these are: actioning our Affordable Housing Strategy by undertaking the economic study of the affects of limiting short term accommodation, finding funding to house homeless people e.g. at the old Greenhills Lodge, better weed control especially in our key areas of threatened environmental species, and remedying our behind schedule Cool Towns progress towards urban biodiversity and protection from increasingly dangerous urban heat waves.

I look forward to working with you on all of these and whatever else the year in Council brings. I will also work towards creating a collaborative environment where councillors and council staff prioritise working together for the community.’

Kids Talk on social media ban Sweetnam Park back in play

By Rada Campbell

By Rada Campbell

TWO brothers enjoying the school holidays in Uki have shared their unfiltered views on social media, offering a glimpse into how kids their age actually use it.

Boston, 12, and his brother Mason, 10, sat down for a casual chat at a local coffee shop while visiting their grandmother, a long-time Uki local.

What followed was a frank, funny and surprisingly thoughtful conversation about connection, sport and growing up online.

“We use it for entertainment, to chat with our friends, to learn new things, and honestly to fill in boredom,” the boys told The Weekly.

Boston, an accomplished baseball player who has represented Australia overseas twice, has travelled to the United States to compete and uses social media to stay connected with teammates and players from around the world.

“I play a sport that’s not very popular in Australia,” Boston said. “Having an account helps me stay connected to other kids my age and professional players I look up to.”

His Instagram account, run and monitored by his parents, documents his training, games and international experiences, something he says keeps him motivated.

“If you can post videos, more kids might want to play the sport,” he said. “That actually keeps us outside and off screens.”

When asked whether there was anything positive about the social media ban introduced in Australia earlier this month, both boys were clear.

“No,” they said.

They believe adults often misunderstand how platforms work, particularly the role of algorithms.

“Parents don’t understand algorithms,” Mason said. “When you have an account, the content is tailored to things you already like.”

“Taking accounts away actually makes it

SWEETNAM PARK in Uki is officially open and already humming with laughter, wheels on paths and the unmistakable sound of kids testing out every corner of the long-awaited upgrade.

Delivered by Tweed Shire Council following years of community advocacy and recovery following flood damage, the revitalised park has quickly become a daily meeting point for local families, carers and children of all ages. Designed with resilience, creativity and connection in mind, the new layout balances adventurous play with spaces to pause, watch and gather.

Three-year-old Winona did not need long to decide her favourite feature.

“The play cafe and the music ones,” she told The Weekly, eagerly tapping the hanging steel tubes with a drumstick tied on a rope. The instruments, known as outdoor musical chimes, produce a different note with each tube and have become one of the most popular features in the park.

Across the space, children weave through a wavy riding track, tackle an obstacle course, swing high under the trees, climb the rock wall and race each other across monkey bars and slides. A half-court basketball hoop gives older kids a place to linger, while younger ones dart between climbing structures and imaginative play zones.

Thoughtful details are everywhere. There is a water fountain with a bubbler and tap for refilling bottles and washing hands, generous shade throughout the park, and large natural rock slabs positioned as informal seating.

Parents can sit close, chat and watch without hovering, a detail many locals say makes the space feel calm rather than chaotic.

The park’s design reflects strong community input gathered during consultation, with a focus on inclusive play and durability in a flood prone area. The result is a space that feels both

Boston and Mason disagree with the social media ban

worse,” Boston added. “You can see everything and anything, instead of being protected by what you choose to follow.”

The brothers also believe kids will find workarounds.

“We’ll just get our parents to put their accounts over the top of ours,” Mason said. “My baseball account is still active because my parents did that.”

On online safety, both boys said education mattered more than restriction.

“You can be on the internet, but not all over it,” Mason said.

“If you use it maturely and safely, it’s okay,” Boston added. “If you don’t have ways to connect with friends in real life, social media can actually be really important.”

Mason summed up his view bluntly.

“In my opinion, the social media ban is the most chaotic ban in Australia.”

Australia’s national social media age-restriction laws for under-16s came into effect on December 10, 2025. More information is available at esafety.gov.au

playful and grounded, fitting naturally into Uki’s village atmosphere.

Local parents say the upgrade has already changed daily routines. Morning visits after school drop off, afternoon catch ups and weekend picnics are now regular fixtures. Children who might have been glued to screens are instead negotiating obstacle courses, inventing games and making new friends.

While the response has been overwhelmingly positive, one small gap remains. The absence of a public toilet has been noted by many families, particularly those staying longer or visiting with younger children.

Even so, Sweetnam Park has clearly reclaimed its role as a community heart. With music chiming, bikes rolling and conversations flowing, it is once again a place where Uki gathers, plays and reconnects.

Sweetnam Park is located at 1359 Kyogle Rd, Uki NSW 2484

Tweed Valley Weekly Locals Supporting Locals

Fight to save boardwalk SECRETARY OF the Tweed Broadwater Village Homeowners Association, Ruth Edwards, has weighed in on a proposal by Tweed Shire Council to remove Philp Parade foreshore walkway, citing the walkway as a “vital piece of community infrastructure”.

Ms Edwards wrote to The Weekly in the new year to stress the significance of the aging walkway, which she and her constituents are willing to fight for.

Her plea comes as councillors weighed up the future of the 27-yearold structure during their December 10 council meeting.

The walkway was built in 1997 along the Terranora Broadwater and Ms Edwards has outlined its importance as a vital connection to nature.

A detailed review by council officers found the walkway has “deteriorated to the point where ongoing maintenance can no longer keep it functional or safe”, warning of a high risk of slips, trips, falls and splinters, particularly for elderly residents from the adjacent relocatable home village.

During the meeting, councillors considered an amendment on “Philp Parade Walkway – Long Term Management Options”.

The amendment was raised by Cr Kimberly Hone and seconded by Cr Rhiannon Brinsmead, and resolved that Council take the item out to the community for consultation as well as continue to invest resources into inspecting and repairing the walkway until it can no longer be maintained

to an acceptable safe standard, then close it, remove all components following closure, seek further grants and communicate this with the community.

Voting for the amendment were Deputy Mayor Reece Byrnes, Cr Brinsmead, Cr Nola Firth, Cr Hone and Cr James Owen. Voting against was Mayor Chris Cherry and Cr Meredith Dennis was absent for this vote.

“This boardwalk is not a luxury; it is a vital piece of community, educational and environmental infrastructure that supports health, accessibility, learning and social connection for a broad cross-section of the Tweed community,” Ms Edwards wrote to The Weekly.

The Philp Parade foreshore walkway is a 500-metre timber structure that has served residents and visitors for nearly three decades.

For Ms Edwards and other residents, the prospect of eventual closure remains deeply troubling.

In her statement, she argues the boardwalk has been used safely by the community for decades and is one of the few level, accessible outdoor spaces available to an ageing population with limited alternatives.

Its loss, she says, would significantly reduce opportunities for physical activity, social connection and wellbeing for older residents, many of whom do not drive.

She also stresses the walkway’s broader value. Daily dog walkers, joggers, organised walking and hearthealth groups, kayakers, fishers, families and visitors from nearby caravan parks all use the area.

“Local schools use the boardwalk and surrounding waterways for ecology and environmental studies, particularly in relation to mangrove systems and estuarine habitats,” she wrote.

“The boardwalk is also a popular location for birdwatchers (“twitchers”), with over one hundred bird species recorded in the area.

“These users rely on safe, stable access to observe wildlife and conduct informal and formal educational activities.”

Council officers, however, point to stark financial and environmental constraints. Replacing the walkway is estimated to cost at least $1.3 million, with a further $500,000 needed to connect it to the wider footpath network, funding of which council says is not available.

The draft Open Space Asset Management Plan already shows a $24.6 million shortfall over the next decade, with projected needs of $168.34 million against a $143.74 million budget.

Environmental factors also weigh heavily. The low-lying foreshore is increasingly inundated by tides and is expected to undergo mangrove migration as sea levels rise. New concrete paths or structures could obstruct future wetland movement and increase erosion risks.

Despite acknowledging the walkway’s popularity with nearby residents, council reports describe its community-wide benefit as limited when compared with higher-priority foreshore and open-space assets.

Officers have recommended full closure and removal once the structure reaches the point of unserviceability,

Philp Parade Walkway has reached the end of its life and could be too expensive to replace

alongside community communication to explain the decision and next steps.

Ms Edwards counters that safety risks can be managed through staged renewal, durable materials such as recycled plastic decking, formal inspection schedules and the pursuit of grants.

WWII veteran turns 100 A CENTURY of life, service and community spirit was celebrated in Tweed Heads South late last month, with local World War II veteran Ron Smith marking his 100th birthday on December 28, 2025.

Now a resident of Tweed Broadwater Village, Ron is believed to be one of the Tweed Shire’s oldest living veterans, and his milestone birthday is being recognised as a story of resilience, service and staying active well into later life.

With January marking a time of reflection for many families, Ron’s story is one the community is keen

to share.

Born in Punchbowl, NSW, in 1925, Ron’s working life began early.

At just 15 years of age, he left school to work as a jackaroo on a sheep station, learning the value of hard physical work — something he credits as a key factor in his longevity.

In May 1943, as World War II intensified in Australia’s north, Ron enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

After qualifying in seamanship and gunnery, he was posted to Darwin in October 1943, where he served on boom defence duties, a critical but often overlooked role in protecting Australia’s harbours from enemy

Ron's medals

submarines.

Ron served aboard boom defence vessels including HMAS Rushcutter, HMAS Kangaroo and later HMAS Koala, working in Darwin Harbour and the Arafura Sea installing and maintaining buoys and anti-submarine nets.

The work was demanding and carried out under constant threat, but Ron recalls the camaraderie of his fellow sailors as one of the most enduring memories of his service.

In May 1945, Ron was posted to the heavy cruiser HMAS Australia, which was sent to the United Kingdom for repairs after sustaining heavy damage in action.

While overseas, Ron completed an anti-aircraft gunnery course, further adding to his naval skills.

He returned to Australia in early 1946 and was discharged from the Navy in February that year, grateful, he says, to have survived the war.

Following his return to civilian life, Ron took advantage of the Commonwealth Reconstruction Training Scheme, retraining as a plumber, a trade he worked in for many years.

He was married twice with his first wife, Evelyn still alive at 95, while his second wife, Christine Genever, passed away in 2010.

Ron is the proud father of three daughters, with grandchildren and great-grandchildren continuing the family legacy.

Sport and community involvement have been constants throughout Ron’s life.

In his younger years, he played cricket, rugby league and golf, and

Eat Well, Live Well: How Smart Nutrition Keeps Seniors Thriving When families think about elderly care, the conversation often starts with visible needs like mobility aids, medication management and home modifications.

These are all important steps for safety and quality of life. Yet, there is another key factor that can sometimes be overlooked: nutrition.

Memory and cognitive function are not just determined by genetics or luck. Eating nutritious meals and getting enough protein can play a role in supporting clear thinking and maintaining independence as we age.

Every meal is an opportunity to influence wellbeing. When older adults eat balanced, nutritious meals, their bodies and minds are better supported for daily living. Nutrition is not just about general health, it’s about making daily life a little easier and more enjoyable.

At 25, your body forgives nutritional mistakes. At 75, it keeps score.

Ageing affects metabolism and nutrient absorption, so seniors often need fewer calories but more nutrient-dense foods.

Diminished senses of taste and smell can also make food less appealing, right

when good nutrition matters most. Many older adults face challenges in getting enough of the right nutrients, which can impact overall health and quality of life.

Nutrition can influence how long someone is able to live independently.

Eating well helps maintain muscle mass, which can help prevent falls. It supports energy and makes daily life more manageable. Poor nutrition, on the other hand, may increase frailty and fall risk.

Every food choice becomes a choice about independence.

Gourmet Meals makes it easier to meet individual needs. Snap-frozen meals go straight to your freezer, giving you convenient access to dietitian-approved options whenever you need them. Each meal is balanced and cost-effective, with choices to suit a wide range of health requirements, from high protein and low fat to gluten free and vegetarian.

World War II veteran Ron Smith

was also a surf lifesaver at Maroubra Beach. He played golf for as long as his body allowed, only giving it up due to a bad back.

Today, at 100, Ron remains active and engaged. He walks his dog along the waterfront nearly every day, enjoys reading, and has a keen interest in politics and current affairs, keeping up to date through ABC News and the 7.30 Report.

Ron’s family says his attitude to life staying active, staying informed and

staying connected, have all helped him reach his remarkable milestone.

As his local paper, Tweed Valley Weekly joins the community in acknowledging his century, one message stands out clearly: “thank you for your service, Ron, and happy 100th birthday”.

For our

Seniors The Boxing Day clash FOR THE past 50 years, Boxing Day at the Cudgen School oval hasn’t been about shopping sales or leftovers in the fridge — it’s meant cricket. And not just any cricket, but a fiercely loved deeply competitive and wonderfully chaotic family tradition between the Togo family of Chinderah and the Richardson family of Currumbin.

What began in 1975 as a casual conversation over a game of cards in a Currumbin living room quickly escalated into a bold claim: whose family was actually better at cricket?

Representing the camps were Mark Richardson of the Richardson family and Robert “Bob” Wright, married to local Togo girl Michelle.

Words were exchanged, pride was on the line, and before the cards were packed away a “friendly” Boxing Day match was locked in between the Togo and Richardson families.

The first game was played on the Pottsville oval with a tennis ball and a couple of garbage bins as wickets. Friendly might be stretching it.

What followed was less backyard knockabout and more a NSW versus Queensland-style showdown, complete with competitive fire and eventually a custom-made trophy featuring a proudly mounted Tooheys and XXXX can topped off with a shiny cricket player statue. Subtle it was not, but it was perfect and entirely on brand for the Togo–Richardson rivalry.

Over the next few years, the match moved from Pottsville to the Cudgen football fields at Wommin Bay, before finally settling into its permanent home at the Cudgen School oval.

From there, the tradition flourished. Brothers, sons, uncles, nephews and cousins from both the Togo and Richardson families were drafted in over the years — strictly by approval of the

“head players,” of course — each hoping to earn bragging rights for the year ahead.

Rain, hail or shine, the Togo and Richardson families turned up every Boxing Day, with COVID the only opponent ever able to stop play. As the original players aged (or mysteriously developed sore backs, knees and shoulders each December), close friends stepped in to bolster team numbers. Some arrived kitted out as if they were heading into an Ashes Test, while others were just hoping not to pull a hamstring before lunch.

Injuries, broken school and car windows, passionate debates over scoring (often blamed on the women), and relentless sledging have all been part of the fun. Yet despite the banter and competitive edge, the heart of the match has always remained the same.

What started with the line, “I reckon my family can play cricket better than yours,” has become a 50-year tradition built on laughter, loyalty and lifelong mateship — with the Togo and Richardson families coming together year after year, proving that sometimes the best rivalries are the ones that last a lifetime.

The power of quiet stories

By Rada Campbell

QUIET STORIES often live in plain sight in small villages, carried by seniors who rarely draw attention to themselves.

In communities like Uki, the most unassuming elder can hold a lifetime of experience, creativity and contribution, if only the right questions are asked.

Many seniors move through daily routines without fanfare. They collect mail, meet friends for coffee, volunteer quietly and keep village life ticking over.

Yet these familiar faces often represent the backbone of community connection.

Uki local Alonna Scott says seniors are not always inclined to put themselves forward.

“Maybe seniors don’t feel they need to prove themselves as much as younger people,” Alonna told The Weekly. “They’re often confident enough in who they are and what they’ve lived that they don’t need reassurance or attention.”

She believes that confidence can sometimes make their stories easy to miss.

“They’re often happy, but not desperate to talk about themselves unless someone genuinely asks,” she said.

In regional villages, seniors are the keepers of memory.

They remember when roads were sealed, businesses opened, schools grew and communities rallied through floods, fires and change.

They also model something increasingly rare.

Consistency.

Showing up. Knowing names. Noticing when someone is missing.

During the holiday period, many seniors travel to spend time with children and grandchildren, briefly stepping away from village life.

Their absence highlights just how much they contribute throughout the year.

From volunteering and mentoring to simply being a steady presence, seniors create a sense of continuity that binds communities together.

Alonna believes listening is key.

“When you slow down and ask, you realise just how rich people’s lives have been,” she said.

As villages like Uki continue to grow and change, recognising the value of seniors is essential.

Not as a category, but as individuals whose quiet stories have shaped the places many now call home.

THE GREAT Cane Toad Bust is set to return to the Tweed Shire later this month and is calling on residents to help curb one of Australia’s most destructive invasive species.

Running from January 17 to 25, the annual event is part of Australia’s largest coordinated cane toad control challenge and aims to reduce local cane toad numbers while protecting native wildlife and pets.

Organisers, Watergum Community Inc, say it’s not too late for Tweed residents to get involved, either individually or by joining one a community.

“Participants can register online as individuals or create private “busting” events to rally friends, family, neighbours or work colleagues,” a spokesperson for Watergum told The Weekly.

“Public events are also being organised, with open sessions clearly marked on the official event page to help newcomers find a nearby group to join.

Organisers are also encouraging participants to submit their cane toad catches, even outside the official Bust week, to help track the longterm impact of local control efforts.

Catch numbers will contribute to a leadership board and broader data collection used to measure reductions in cane toad populations across northern NSW and Queensland.

With more than 240 species of native frogs found in Australia, organisers stress the importance of correct identification. Residents are urged to familiarise themselves with the differences between cane toads and native frogs before taking part, using official identification guides provided as part of the campaign.

Environmental groups say collective action at a local level remains one of the most effective tools available to manage cane toads and protect native ecosystems.

MICHAEL HENDERSON (HENDO)

Born on 21/8/63, died 7/1/24 It seems to me the day you left The sun forgot to shine Because it feels as though the lights gone out Within this heart of mine My body feels so broken Because we never had the chance to say goodbye And my tears they fall like raindops Everytime I cry The pain that I am feeling Is like a storm inside my heart And it only grows much stronger Everyday that we’re apart It’s hard to see the future And to make it through the day you will be with me And will help to light my way When the light goes out for me I know what I shall-do I’ll close my eyes one final time And I will be with you

Holiday fun on the Tweed Coast VISITORS AND local residents flocked to the Tweed Coast over the Christmas holidays, taking to the water for respite from the heat in the week leading up to Christmas and on Christmas Day. Even when the weather cooled down a bit on Boxing Day everyone was still out there making the most of their time out from work and school. Some big surf early in the break saw many holidaymakers take to the safety of the beautiful Tweed Coast estuaries at Kingscliff, Hastings Point and Pottsville, while there was also plenty of action on the Tweed River.

Cudgen leads T20 as Powell, Kumar go ballistic

By Jo Kennett

CUDGEN HAVE shot to the lead but there was also some sensational play from Pottsville and the Colts - Ajay Kumar took 5/10 and Sam Powell top-scored for the day on 142 - in what was a huge day of T20 at Reg Dalton Field on Saturday, January 3.

Cudgen batted first in the morning game against Terranora, with the openers cleaning up, finishing at 4/256.

Alec Williams scored 55 and Lachlan Crump top scored on 91, before being bowled by Jack Minehan, caught by James Taylor.

“Lachie lives in Kingscliff and normally plays for the Gold Coast Dolphins so we got him down to play today and he did well,” Cudgen captain Alec Williams said.

“Sam Weir got 53 and Cal Gall scored 33 which was good (both bowled by Sarwar Mohammed (2/11).

“I think Terranora had a few players out.”

Terranora couldn’t catch Cudgen, going down 9/75 after 14.3 overs with Shane Wilson top scoring on 22.

“Harry Kershler was the best of the bowlers - he took 2/8, Callum Prichard got 2/9 and Jimmy Rosser took 2/13,” Williams said.

The Ziebells didn’t play because Connor was just back from playing footy in France and they had a family birthday party on.

The Tweed Banora Colts got a good win over Terranora, scoring 4/222.

“We won by about 100 runs so that was good,” Colt Andrew Ridgewell said.

“Sam Powell got 142; he batted beautifully so that set us up.

“We were a bit low on numbers so it was good to get a couple of guys in from second grade.”

Tweed Banora Colts Ajay Kumar was brutal with the ball (4/18) while Kade Wood and Patrick Sheard nabbed a couple as well, with Terranora all out for 113 despite Shane Wilson putting up 38 runs.

Then Pottsville got what skipper Nathan Pryke described as one of their best wins of the season over the Colts, despite Ajay Kumar taking an incredible five wickets for ten runs.

“It was an awesome game. We got off to a decent start with the bat with 0-50 with Kai Allan getting 21 and Joe Parson getting 28,’ Pryke said.

“Then Ajay ripped through our middle order but then Max Mathew’s came out and played a crucial game-defining innings with a run a ball, 17 to get us up over 100.” Potty was 9/101 after the 20 overs.

“Justin Mathewson struck early with the ball taking the first,” Pryke said.

“Menzie Tucker bowled brilliantly, picking up the big wicket of Sammy Powell.

“Then Quinn Dobell came on to bowl the house down picking up 3/12 off four including the big wicket of the set bat Jamie Bennett.

“Harry O’Brien came on and swung the game into our favor taking 3/13.

“It was one of the biggest wins Potty has had over the years and especially when the average age was 17.5! The future is bright for Potty.

Proud to be a Pelican.”

The Colts Ajay Kumar taking a Terranora wicket

Tweed Banora’s Jamie Bennett scored 22 runs while Andrew Ridgeway was second best with 18, but the Colts couldn’t catch Potty, all out for 90 runs after 18.5 overs.

In the last game, Cudgen played Pottsville under lights, which both sides knew would be a challenge.

Cudgen batted first with Lachie Crump scoring 45 off 23 balls and Hayden Wilson 48 off 29, with the Hornets 8/206 at the end of the innings.

Pottsville’s Harry (2/18) and Jarrah O’Brien and Jake Lanyard took two wickets each.

In reply, Potty only managed 10/58 with Lachie Crump, one of the players of the day, taking 4/10.

“The ball is hard to pick up but it was an awesome atmosphere and massive credit to Cudgen Cricket Club for putting on a great day and creating an awesome atmosphere,” Pryke said.

“It was a great experience for the younger boys to play under lights.

“I think some of the older boys are off to specsavers this morning.”

Cheeky aren’t they these young uns!

The Cudgen clubhouse is looking great. It’s a fantastic, laid-back little spot for a beer and to watch some action on the field or the big screen, so well done to president Simon Peddle and vice-president Chris Lees and everyone involved on a great day.

Real Estate FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

Million-dollar suburbs

TWO TWEED Shire suburbs joined the million-dollar club in 2025, according to the latest PropTrack data.

Tweed Heads South and Uki were two of the 41 suburbs that crossed over the seven-figure threshold last year.

Tweed Heads South reached a median price of $1.1m in May 2025 while homes in the once cheap and sleepy village of Uki reached $1.13m in the same month.

There are now more than 1500 suburbs and towns across the country with a median house price of $1m or more.

REA Group senior economist Anne Flaherty said the three interest rates cuts in 2025 and government incentives, including the government’s five per cent deposit scheme for firsthome buyers, played a large part in rising prices.

“Overall, we’re anticipating property prices are going to continue to rise in 2026 but we’re not predicting the same level of growth,” she said.

“Interest rates look like they’re going to hold steady for longer now too.”

Ms Flaherty said the uptake in the five per cent deposit scheme was also bringing up prices in cheaper areas.

Property prices have risen for 11 consecutive months since the series of interest rate cuts began last year but many economists are predicting the next move on rates may be up, as inflation begins to rise again, which

could slow growth.

However, even without any rate cuts, the latest realestate.com.au Property Market Outlook, predicts annual home price growth of between six and eight per cent nationally, and as much as 10 per cent growth in Brisbane and Perth.

Happy birthday DJ Stringer

LOCAL REAL estate agency DJ Stringer celebrated its 24th birthday on January 2 and we caught up with principal and founder David Stringer for an insight into what that means for the company.

What are you most proud of as far as the business goes?

The continued growth and longevity in a very competitive industry.

Describe the team you have there now?

We have a great team in family orientated business, with many members that have been with us for over 10 years and one (Simone) for over 18 years.

DJ Stringer

It has been wonderful to watch them all grow in business and their personal lives.

We have experienced several get married, have children with most returning to work after maternity leave, some lucky ones comfortably retiring and sadly some have passed on.

What do you consider the areas you specialise in or excel at that set your team apart?

As we handle all facets of real estate practice, our aim is always to provide the highest level of customer service, accurate advice & in turn we deliver the best outcome for our clients.

WHY BUY one amazing, beachfront apartment when you can have six, under the one title, in one of the best locations on the Gold Coast.

648/650 Pacific Parade, Tugun boasts six three-bedroom apartments, two per level, featuring ensuites and unbelievable ocean views from each looking out over the surf at Flat Rocks, right down to the southern end of Gold Coast.

Situated near the end of the cul-de-sac and beachfront park, you can step out of your apartment straight onto the eight kilometres of beachfront pathway that runs from Currumbin Alley to Snapper Rocks.

With huge income potential and the possibility of owning your own home in one of the most desirable locations on the coast, this property is now on the market with David Stringer at DJ Stringer.

What is your vision for 2026 and going forward in general?

The real estate market has been exceptionally strong for the last several years and we see no signs of it slowing down.

Therefore, given this, we will be endeavouring to continue to streamline operations and recruit new team members in most divisions.

INTRODUCING

Caillon Place

6 Ivory Crescent, Tweed Heads

Perfectly positioned in a quiet, tightly held street in the heart of Tweed Heads, Caillon Place is a boutique residential development now well advanced in construction and at lock-up stage. Already generating strong interest from buyers, this exclusive project is quickly emerging as one of the area’s most anticipated new addresses for lowmaintenance coastal living.

Now Under Construction – A Boutique Collection of Coastal Residences in an Unrivalled Location.

With only a limited number of residences available, each home has been carefully designed to maximise light, space, and everyday functionality. Generous open-plan interiors, quality finishes, and a refined coastal aesthetic combine to create homes that appeal to downsizers, first home buyers, and investors alike. As demand continues to build, opportunities to secure a residence at Caillon Place are becoming limited.

Ideally located just moments from the Tweed River, Tweed Mall Shopping Centre, Jack Evans Boat Harbour, and the iconic beaches of Coolangatta, Caillon Place offers an exceptional lifestyle of convenience and calm. Enjoy easy access to acclaimed dining, boutique shopping, scenic walking tracks, and the Gold Coast International Airport - all just minutes from your doorstep.

With construction progressing and interest strong, now is the time to register your interest to secure your place in this exciting new chapter of Tweed Heads living.
