rockin’ the troops

Lonesome Train are back from their top-secret mission to entertain our troops overseas. 2515 reports.

Over two weeks in September-October, local rockabilly outfit, Lonesome rain (aka Christian Power, Rob Laurie and Jordan C Thomas), headed to the Middle East and Afghanistan to entertain our defence forces. It was the third time this gung-ho trio of rock-music roustabouts went on the battle-torn road to give the men and women of the armed forces plenty of top-notch music to enjoy. Previously, they have been to the Solomon Islands (2011) and East Timor (2012). The military’s Forces Entertainment division sends entertainers to war zones; entertainers are volunteers, but all costs (including flights) a e paid for. On this trip, Lonesome Train and a group of other musicians and comedians: l were escorted everywhere by “about 20 of our own fully armed bodyguards”; l flew a He cules “hot and low” into Kabul, Afghanistan to avoid enemy fi e; l did shows to allied-troop crowds armed with machine guns and sidearms. Christian gave 2515 a few minutes of his time to detail the special ops mission.

2515-NOVEMBER-p003_NEWS.indd 4

Tell us about flying into Kabul. We did shows in Al Minhad base [in the United Arab Emirates] and then we hopped into a Hercules, where I was lucky to be up in the cockpit with these really young pilots – with this huge amazing responsibility – and then amazingly we came hot and low into Kabul … to give them [the enemy] less time to shoot from the ground. Were your nerves frayed with all of the noise and movement in these war-zones? Absolute sensory overload, it’s quite overwhelming really: there’s a lot of noise … troops from every NATO country are there … someone described it as “an Olympic village for soldiers”.

What were your shows like? They only get two tours like this – tours de force – a year. The shows were fantastic … you’ve never been quite so nervous as a performer when you play in front of a whole crowd who are all holding machine guns and with sidearms on … the critics could have been pretty harsh [laughs] … but fortunately the style of music we do is pretty international.

Dangerous d’lights Ladies, whip out your feather boas, flapper frocks and sequinned headpieces. There is audience participation ahead. 2515 reports. New Illawarra performance company Dangerous D’lights will bring its “delicious cocktail of circus, burlesque, dance, music and fun” to a Speak Easy show at Wombarra Bowling Club on November 6. “It’s a 1920s Prohibition, circus, music, burlesque show,” says artistic director Charlie Truscott, aka Devious Diane. “We will set the outdoor rig up covered with fairy lights outside, looking over the ocean.” The word “speakeasy” (for illegal drinking hole) comes from Prohibition-era USA. “They all had to ‘speak easy’, keep it quiet, because there were alcohol raids happening all the time,” Charlie says. “Everyone is encouraged to come to our show in 1920s, 1930s dress-up stuff. There will be prizes for the best dressed. Boys can put on their best suits, shiny black shoes and part their hair, wear bowler hats.” The Speak Easy plot is straightforward fun. “Dora, Diane and Delilah work in the speakeasy. Work there is their bread and butter. However, on a night like tonight, they haven’t been speaking so easy, which calls for inspectors and police to come and greet them,

they get arrested and find themselves in jail. Using their delightful ways, they are able to break out again and the show can live on.” “Delightful ways” will include aerials in the outdoor jail scene. “There’ll be handstands and hula hoops, there’s acro and pyramids, there’s live vocals and dance and audience participation, so there’s a really good mix. It goes for about an hour and 20 minutes.” At their first, sold-out show in Dapto, the D’lights roped in their boyfriends as cops, had the bar staff say lines during the police raid and involved the audience. “Women have to do a scavenger hunt; for example, they have to a get a lipstick kiss off a gu ,” Charlie says. “The guys are invited to show us their best lap dancing skills, it’s just a bit of a hoot really.” The Dangerous D’lights are all Illawarra locals affiliated with C cus Wow. Four will star in the upcoming show: Charlie (Devious Diane); aerialist, dancer and choreographer Jennifer Falvey (Delicious Delilah); solo cabaret burlesque star Irene Nicola (Deadly Dora) and producer Honora Jenkins (Bar Wench). n Speak Easy tickets are $60, including a 1920s-themed three-course dinner (including devilled eggs and caprese skewers). It’s on Friday, November 6, from 7pm at Wombarra Bowlo. Tickets at the door or Facebook “DangerousDlights”. 2515

deadly dancers Zoe Brown and Zippy Corser-Anu are dance stars on the rise. 2515 reports.

Nothing can stop them smiling. Another 2515 photo-shoot is being near-ruined by wind gusts and sheets of cold rain but nothing will stop Zoe Brown and Zippy Corser-Anu giggling and dancing about on the beach and joking with each other and mucking around. These talented teens have a very honest and happy energy that is refreshing and highly infectious. Zoe and Zippy, both students of Thirroul Dance Academy (TDA), have gained places in the NSW Public Schools Aboriginal Dance Company, an initiative in partnership with Bangarra Dance Theatre to foster the development of talented Aboriginal students. They were accepted out of an audition group of more than 1000. Zoe, of Helensburgh, and Zippy, of Coledale, stopped joking around long enough to answer 2515’s questions. When did you start dancing? Zoe: I’ve been technically trained in dance for three years but I’m sure mum’s got video footage of me dancing when I was much younger to Miley Cyrus. The reason why I started to dance was because my mum and I went to a dance showcase and I was inspired by their dance moves and wanted to be just like them, I really loved the emotion that you can feel and poetry in dance. Zippy: I started dancing when I was four … it might have something to do with me growing up around a family of dancers … My mum [singer Christine Anu] used to dance before she had a career change, but she was still connected to that community of dancers. My godfather used to be one of the male principal dancers in

the Bangarra Dance Company, and I was often babysat at the company studios, watching the company rehearsing and choreographing, so I got to see a lot of performances and be around that environment. Not to mention I loved to dance a lot, so mum put me in dance classes for fun. What does dance mean to you? Zoe: It means you are free to express your feelings and emotions and, culturally, I think it’s a great way to learn more about my culture and teach others about Aboriginal culture throughout dance. Zippy: I love that I can express myself through dance, so it’s an important emotional and creative outlet for me. There is the technical skill of dance, which is challenging and makes me want to strive to be better, but there’s also the expressive side of dance where technique is not as important as the story you are telling, and this is where I find my passion and connection with dance, lies. When I do traditional Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander dancing, it feels natural to me … I was brought up very connected to my Torres Strait heritage. My grandmother was born on Saibai Island in North Western Torres Strait, of the Kalaw Kawaw Ya (KKY) language group, and we are of the Cassowary/Emu Clan. Our Indigenous histories were not recorded, it was passed down from generation to generation through song and dance and storytelling. I’ve learnt a lot from being around my mum and now that I attend a Performing

Arts High School where I am learning a lot of dance theory and history, it’s a holistic journey in dance that I am getting to enjoy! What are your goals? Zoe: My goal is to be a part of Bangarra dance theatre, so … I need to audition for NAISDA [National Aboriginal and Islander Skills Development Association] dance college after high school as my first step to get the e … I would love to become a professional dancer. Zippy: This year has been an exciting year for me, starting high school and surrounded by like-minded young people and nurtured by amazing experienced and inspiring teachers and adults alike. Auditioning for a place in a company is more nerve-racking than performing … I feel it’s a privilege … it’s not a given that I will audition successfully again with the NSW Aboriginal Dance Company, so I’ve lapped up every rehearsal and performance like it’s my last. I would love to follow in my mother’s footsteps and graduate from high school and audition for a place at NAISDA and continue to be an ambassador for my people and my culture, maybe audition to get into the Bangarra Dance Company too. But, I’m only in year 7, and I have to work towards my HSC first, but … I will continue my extra-curricular dance (at TDA) and hopefully teach junior dance students at TDA if I’m lucky enough! n Zoe and Zippy will perform at the Moonlight Movie Night as part of the Illawarra 200 at Port Kembla North on November 7; and at the Schools Spectacular on Nov 27 and 28. 2515

2515 COLUMN

Dr Rip’s Science of the Surf Little ‘no see-ums’, can lead to large problems, writes Rob Brander. When it comes to getting bitten at beaches, forget about sharks, you’re more likely to come in contact with mysterious tiny bugs known as “no see-ums”. Sometimes it’s sandflies (tiny midges or blackflies), which love wet sand and a e more common in hotter climates or periods after rain. Perfect biting conditions are still, dull and humid days when they’re happy to munch on you all day long. Many people develop an allergic response resulting in extreme itching and large red welts. Scratching, particularly in tropical environments, can lead to infections. I know this because many years ago, I travelled to Yeppoon where an innocent little sandfly bite on my bum turned into a boil the size of a mango. I will never understand how a bug the size of a pinhead can cause so much pain. While the whole story is a deeply personal experience better suited to a medical journal, I

learned to never forget insect repellent on tropical holidays. Unfortunately, I forgot the golden rule: don’t scratch those bites! After a few years of swimming in Australia unscathed, I had one swim when I had the distinct sensation that I was being bitten all over. A local grommet named “Dirty Kev” told me it was “sea lice” and that “I shouldn’t scratch them”. But I’d last seen Dirty Kev running down Bondi Beach for the finals of the nude surfing competition with a st eamer of toilet paper on fi e trailing from his bottom in the evening twilight. So I didn’t listen.* I scratched and had a miserable week of itching nasty welts. Ever since, I seem to get “sea lice” bites all the time. So what are they? Some people will tell you they’re lice from pelicans. But I don’t see many pelicans in the surf. As it turns out they’re actually tiny little jellyfish larvae, which just so happen to have the same stinging cells as an adult jellyfish, but obviously affect a smaller a ea of skin. Sea lice tend to bite areas where they get trapped and squeezed, like in your cossie and in your armpit area. Bad luck if you’re a hairy guy. Often people wearing T-shirts in the water get hit pretty hard. If you do feel yourself being nibbled, rinse o as soon as possible when you leave the water. Sea lice bites generally have a delayed reaction and can last a long time. The weird thing is that some people (like me) seem to be more affected than others. Treat them the same way you would bluebottle stings or severe insect bites, but whatever you do, don’t scratch them as this makes them worse! *Kev is now a multi-millionaire while I still rent. 2515 Visit www.scienceofthesurf.com.

2515 NEWS OUR UNIQUE WEEDY SEA DRAGON

By Coledale marine enthusiast Lynne Tuck. This beautiful Weedy Sea Dragon was found washed ashore, tangled in seaweed. I tried putting it in the local ocean pool to revive it, but was unfortunately unsuccessful. Weedy Sea Dragons are unique to Australian temperate waters, they are related to seahorses. Mostly seen by scuba divers, they can be found

gracefully swimming through kelp beds. Male sea dragons carry the eggs under their tail, fertilising and carrying for about eight weeks until the young hatch. Unlike male seahorses, which have a “pouch” where the eggs are fertilised. The male seahorse experiences contractions when giving birth to his young! There is no parental care with either seahorses or sea dragons. Google “Leafy Sea Dragon” to see another stunning unique Australian. 2515

happy endings 2515 meets Sandy Fussell, author of ‘Sad, The Dog’, a new picture book based on a true story.

Children’s author Sandy Fussell was living in Bulli years ago when her neighbours moved out, leaving their dog Cassie behind. “Our pets have always been part of the family,” she says. “The idea that you could just leave your pet behind – I couldn’t understand it.” Luckily the new family who moved in adopted Cassie. “They had a little girl and she and the dog became the best of friends.” The story stuck in Sandy’s mind and has now spilled out as a children’s tale, Sad, the dog. Initially, Sandy didn’t like the illustrator’s vision of Sad. “Cassie was a spaniel sort of dog … big soulful eyes, big floppy dog, whe eas this was a sort of pudgy, compact puppy, a Staff . My publishers said, ‘Well, we love it, so bad luck.’ But now it’s grown on me … I feel it’s no longer Cassie’s story, it’s Sad’s own story.” Looking at the world from a child’s perspective, “through picture book eyes”, was a challenge, Sandy says. “This is my first book for three- to six-year-olds. I’d love to do more, but I find this a lot ha der (than writing for older children). There were 270 words in the first manuscript, it was harder to write than 42,000, and on top of that I had a plot hole in it!” Adults are more affected by the book – it reduced a bookshop cashier to tears. Sandy says children just see a dog who needs a friend. She engages young readers with props. “I love origami, so I’ve done this origami dog and there’s only about three folds in it, so Kindergarten and Year 1 can easily do it. I draw a happy face on one and a sad face on the other and we talk about happy and sad.” “There’s also a knitting pattern. Because this is not my normal target age group – put me in front of a bunch of 12-year-old boys, and I’m

2515

2515-NOVEMBER-p012-13_AUTHOR, WOTS ON.indd 12

in my element – but the three- to six-year-olds were completely diffe ent, so I thought I need a back up, I need a prop.” Sandy’s previous books include Polar Boy and the Samurai Kids series set in feudal Japan. She studied mathematics at university and worked as a computer programmer, writing software. Sandy only started writing books at age 45, after her eldest son, then aged 10, declared he was “bored” of reading. Another local author, “an absolute powerhouse in children’s literature”, Di Bates, helped her make the leap to published writer. “I’d rather work with kids than code,” she says today. Earlier this year, Sandy launched a new business, The Story Crowd, with Jodie WellsSlowgrove. “We do literature festivals in schools. We do book signings, often there’s a book launch, we provide craft activities. “One day, a kid asked: ‘Do you get headaches?’ And I said: ‘Yes, I do, but why do you ask?’ He said: ‘Your head is stuffed so full of ideas, it must be stretched really tight in there.’ “While I’m having a giggle about that, his mate next to him elbowed him in the way boys do and said, ‘That’s why she writes book, stupid, to empty it all out.’ “And I thought I’ve never heard the creative process put quite so succinctly.” WIN! Thanks to Walker Books, we have 10 copies of Sad, the dog to give away! Write to editor@2515mag.com.au – the best letters will each win a book. Don’t forget to include your postal address. 2515

POWER OF TWO

Strategic Community Assistance to Refugee Families (SCARF) turns 10 this year. Big changes and challenges lie ahead. 2515 meets the women who hold it together. THE FOUNDER

Sharyn Mackenzie has been fascinated by indigenous culture since childhood. From age 19 to 21, she worked for a family on a cattle station in Western Australia. “I went to be a governess to the Aboriginal children and bookkeeper for the station. It was all Aboriginal stockmen, there were few white people. That was a hugely privileged thing to do. I loved having that closeness with that community.” Later Sharyn became CEO, then international executive officer of a not-f -profit, Christian Women Communicating International, which took her all over. “I would go and introduce how to run a Bible study to women in Nepal or Zimbabwe or Ukraine. I have a connection with people from other countries and also an ability to communicate with people who don’t speak my language. I think all of that was part of the preparation (for running SCARF).” Sharyn moved from Sydney to Wollongong to prepare for retirement but instead started SCARF with her husband. “It also could never have happened except for a young friend, a South African boy, the beautiful Gavin Lawless, a famous rugby union player. He donated $50,000 over five years … so I could open an office and be accessible to the communi .” SCARF has grown enormously from when Sharyn first met a South Sudanese family through her church and helped the children learn English. In the past decade, the independent not-for-profit has helped mo e than 1120 refugees, aided by more than 700 volunteers, from university students to retirees. “It says so much about the Wollongong community – they have tremendous generosity of spirit,” Sharyn says.

Handing over … SCARF co-founder Sharyn Mackenzie, left, and new executive officer Sherryl Reddy.

THE NEW EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Sherryl Reddy started as CEO in February. She comes from the frontline of humanitarian aid, having spent the past 10 years working for NGOs such as ActionAid, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees and Unicef. “My background is in humanitarian protection, I also worked in specialist areas, around child protection, and sexual and gender-based violence in conflict settings. “I worked in places like South Sudan and Darfur, West Bank and Gaza, the occupied Palestinian territories. I worked for a short time in Somalia, I worked on the Thai side of the Thai-Burma border in two of the most remote refugee camps of the nine along that border. Mainly with Karen refugees then, back in 2006. “More recently I was in Burma, working with prevention and response to the recruitment of child soldiers by the Myanmar armed forces; I also worked up in Kachin State where there is still an ongoing conflict. That was my last deployment before coming home and deciding that I should try and settle.” Sherryl’s next big challenge will be to welcome to Wollongong a “significant number” of the 4000 Syrian refugees to be resettled across NSW.

a helping hand

By Emily Messieh, of Thirroul Neighbourhood Centre

The centre is having a busy time at the moment. We have the pleasure of hosting 15 TAFE Illawarra Wollongong Community Services students under the care of teacher John Chesher. I feel it is important to mentor these students who aim to be involved in the Community Services sector and help them understand what a community is and how it works.

Our wonderful friends Dr Miriam Kapel and Steven Zafiriou o ganised a high tea and musical afternoon as a fundraiser for Thirroul Neighbourhood Centre. Everyone enjoyed the event immensely. It was a financial success but also created a greater awareness of the centre and its work in the area. Many people were inspired to contribute food, hygiene products and money to help those in need. Thirroul Neighbourhood Centre is holding a Know Thy Neighbour – Friends of Thirroul Neighbourhood Centre exhibition on Friday, November 13, from 5-7pm at Thirroul Community Centre. This will showcase a diverse collection of people from the 2515 community. This event is open to all and a great way of bringing the community together. Our volunteers give their own time to help those in the community who need a hand. Helping others and being part of the community is what puts a smile on our faces. P.S. Don’t forget to keep the centre alive! Become a friend of TNC. Visit thirroulnc.org 2515

Briony wants to expand her business in the Northern Illawarra and would like to be based in Austinmer full-time. “I practise two days a week in Austinmer and three days a week in the Shire, where I first started my practice,” she says. Briony’s services include infant massage instruction, yoga, nutrition, wellness, moxibustion for breech babies, and placenta encapsulation (the alternative birth trend to consume the placenta by encapsulating and swallowing it in pill form). Briony is a doula, providing emotional, physical and educational support to a woman and her partner, before, during and after birth. Having the continuous support of a doula is increasingly valued by mums to be. “The demand for doula services is ten-fold now compared to when I started seven years ago,” she says. “I always stress, I don’t replace the partner, I don’t offer medical advice, my role is to support the woman and her partner. “During labour I’ll be doing massage, acupressure on the lower back, cold washers on the head, face spritzes, water, helping with positions, music, aromatherapy. Doing all the little things so the partner can focus on the mum to be and what she’s going through.” “I had a doula for the births of my children and I absolutely loved it, so before the birth of my third child I became a doula. When you go through it yourself you realise how much you need that support,” Briony says. n The Nesting Place is hosting workshops on birth support, infant massage and mums and bubs/prenatal yoga.

Bonjour, teacher! Parlez-vous français? Nicky Way does not but she’s found someone willing to help her learn. “Bonjour!” I exclaim as Nicole Phipps opens her door and kisses my cheeks three times. That is the extent of my French at the start of the day. I’m at Nicole’s home in Thirroul for coffee, conversation and Tarte Tatin as part her new “Amuse-bouches et Conversations” classes (ABC French). We start by discussing the ingredients and preparation of our apple-based dessert in English. Then we translate it to French. Nicole’s passion for the language shines through as she talks about her 25 years helping people speak, read and interpret French. “I just love French and I want to help people rekindle a love of language they may have had as a child or might want to now take up as an adult,” she says. As well as her new venture, ABC French, Nicole teaches the language to travellers, business people and school students. “I teach students from six to 60 and all of them have very diffe ent reasons for wanting to learn French,” Nicole says. For eight- and 10-year-old primary school students Matt and Will, it’s to stay connected with their French-Canadian heritage. For statistics analyst Diane Ryder and her engineer partner Jay Lawrence, it is creative time out together. For Grace Andrew, doing her Grade 12 final F ench exams, the language could be her ticket to working for the United Nations. Nicole loves her job. “By keeping the classes small, four or less, the students make real progress and I can to teach to all levels. No one gets left behind.” Not even me. As I leave, I bid Nicole “au revoir”. n Visit abcfrench.com.au or call 0409 661 631. Nicky Way is a freelance writer and blogger. Read more at nickywaywrites.com 2515

hooked on crochet

Pam Allen worked in psychiatry administration roles for 40 years before retiring to the Illawarra. Now she’s seized the chance to get creative with crochet. Janice Creenaune reports.

At age 71, Pam Allen is taking her rugmaking hobby to new heights. She has invented new patterns and blocks in the Afghan style and established herself as a creative force in the world of crochet. Pam has won awards at various shows around NSW and sold her work as far away as the US. Her current project is inspired by the Navajo Native Americans and is rich in the earthy colours of their traditions. “It is always the colours which inspire me. And I am always a project ahead of myself. While I am working on one I am developing my colours and patterns for the next,” says Pam. “It is definitely the c eativity which keeps me going. That, and the joy I see from people who take home my rugs.” Pam’s grandmother taught her to crochet, knit and sew. “I was ill in hospital for 12 months at the age of 13 and it is amazing that you just want to do something, anything really. And crochet gave me great flexibilit . “I enjoy working with the thick, warm wools in the Afghan style of blocking for my rugs. I have completed clothing and tea cosy projects,

2515

but my major interest is in the design and actual crochet of the rugs. In laying the blocks and composing the final displa , there is a mixture of creativity and structure. A definite f eedom emerges. No two of my rugs are the same. All are individual.” “Often I even associate my work with names for reference, as well as my memory,” says Pam. “My ‘Wildwood Flowers’, for example, has very woody colours. ‘Pacifica’, an infinit variety of blues and deep greens.“ Pam has also found inspiration abroad. “It all clicked when my husband, Keith and I were in Alhambra Palace, Granada, whilst travelling in Spain. I looked at the patterning of tiles, the repetition, the colours, the circles within squares and realised I was doing the same thing, only in wool.” Pam has no trouble letting her masterpieces go. “I have already moved on in my mind to the next project,” she says. “In fact I get great excitement from a response from a gift or buyer. It builds my confidence to take further risks and try new ideas. And it keeps me active, both physically and mentally.” n Pam is a new member of the Northern Illawarra University of the 3rd Age (NIU3A) and continues to learn, often attending the film society held at Thirroul Library on Wednesday afternoons.

snake season!

By Symbio’s Jarrad Prangell

Venomous snakes common in this area include the red-bellied black snake, eastern brown snake, tiger snake and death adder. If you see a snake in your yard, stay calm, leave it alone and slowly walk away. It is likely to move on in search of food or a mate. If you have outdoor pets, try keeping them inside for a night. Don’t be overly concerned, most snake bites in the country occur when people are trying to pick up a snake or kill it. If you are extremely concerned, or the snake has entered your house, leave the job to the professionals. Professional snake catchers are available for house and yard searches, and snake relocation. Keep your lawn mowed and any yard debris to a minimum as snakes do not feel safe in areas where they are highly visible to prey. If you’d prefer to see these deadly reptiles in a secure exhibit, we have them all on

Real food with Steph Stephanie Meades goes raspberrypicking in Darkes Forest. My boys and I love to forage for food. I love that it teaches the boys where our foods come from and gives them a true appreciation of the real food journey from paddock to plate. The boys love it because they get to pull on their gumboots, get muddy and devour numerous “taste testers” to ensure the fruits of their labour are of the highest quality. One of the best foraging experiences we have had as a family has been up at our local Glenbernie Orchard in Darkes Forest. At this lovely family-run orchard you can get your true “forager’s fix” in the form of raspberry picking in early summer (the season kicks off in November) and apple picking in late summer. The staff at the o chard will help you navigate your first picking, p oviding loads of guidance to make sure you leave with bundles of fresh, super-juicy fruit. It doesn’t get any fresher than picking directly from the raspberry bushes and devouring berries on the way home. The boys and I often get so carried away with our picking expeditions that we end up with copious amounts of berries, so I have to be creative to ensure there is no wastage. This recipe showcases the fresh berries in all their glory, whipped up into a homemade, sugar-free jam that will rival your nanna’s. Not only does it taste fantastic, it is chock-full of the fantastic health benefits you get f om chia seeds, such as calcium, fib e and protein. Happy days. Raspberry Jam Ingredients: 3 cups fresh raspberries ¼ cup chia seeds 1 vanilla pod, split and scraped

Method: Put the raspberries in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat for a few minutes, until the berries soften. Stir in the chia seeds and cook for a further 10 minutes or so, until the jam thickens. Add the vanilla seeds and then remove from the heat. Let it cool, then spoon it into a jam jar and store in the fridge for up to a week. Note: If you prefer your jam a little sweeter, you could add 1 tbsp of coconut sugar or rice malt syrup to the berries when they are cooking down. However, I think it is sweet enough. n For more whole-food inspired recipes, visit realfoodbites.wordpress.com. Stephanie runs monthly Wholefood Workshops at the Co-op.

jump rock In the second instalment of our series on the best wild swimming spots in the Illawarra, author Sally Tertini recommends Jump Rock. Fittingly named, people come here to catapult themselves into an impossibly deep pool. It’s a popular place, although its location remains a bit of a coveted secret. And if testing your daring isn’t your thing, it also happens to be a gorgeous setting for a swim! Among dominating walls that curve down to meet the water in a lush, narrow valley of Macquarie Pass National Park is a cliff offerin jumps between 3–10m. Beneath is this deep pool, hollowed out by the tumbling rivulet. A knotted rope enables would-be jumpers to get from the pool to the launching points. From here it’s just a matter of psyching yourself up before stepping out and off the edge. Whoosh! It’s exhilarating, and the rumbling cascades are so loud that any girly screams that might slip out mid-jump should be obscured.

Seclusion: Busy-average Navigation: Moderate Ascent: 90m Walk-in: 45 mins, 1.77km, moderate Drive E 9.4km from Albion Park on Illawarra Hwy, then turn L into car park at the entrance to Macquarie Pass National Park, which lies at the very bottom of the pass. Walk through the locked gate and proceed along the trail. Use caution as the track is often wet and slippery. After 430m turn R over an old fallen trunk before a causeway. This path runs upstream parallel to Macquarie Rivulet. After 1.7km cross a small creek that comes in from the R.

kai, saya state’s best Local bmxer Kai Sakakibara and his World Champ sister, Saya, recently won major awards. The 2015 NSW State Championships were held in Lake Macquarie on October 3 and 4. The track was in great condition, and, with 978 entries, it was the biggest NSW State Championships in more than 25 years. My preparation hadn't been great. Following my one-month trip in Europe over August, I had been struggling with lower back pain, which was restricting my ability to train and taper properly for this event. However, I was feeling quite strong on the track, and was fresh and well-rested for the event. I competed in two Pro classes over the weekend; 14+ Pro Open on Saturday, and 17+ Pro Open on Sunday. The competition in these classes were tough, with 2008 Olympian Luke Madill, 2009 Elite National Champion Billy Jolliffe, and young guns including Blake Moo e, Andrew Hughes, and Brock Griffiths The racing on Saturday was essentially a 'Money race', and didn't account for the State Title, while Sunday was the State Championships for the Pro Class. I felt very confident all weekend, and won every race. I came away with the win in the 14+ Pro Class on Saturday, and took home the NSW State Championships Title on the Sunday, my first State itle since I was 12 years old! I was rapt with the result, as it was my first major win since moving up to the Elite Class at the start of this year, and it was a huge step up from where I was this time last year. I believe that my overseas experiences this year have definitely helped me p ogress as an athlete, and I am looking forward to furthering my achievements in the national scene in 2016. Over that weekend, I was also presented with the 2015 Senior Male Rider of the Year award; my sister Saya received the Senior Female Rider award. The recipients of these awards are voted in by all BMX NSW registered

members, and we were both honoured to be recognised in this way. Saya and I have both had some outstanding role models to look up to in the past, and hope to be able to do the same for the next generation of athletes coming through. 2515

JOIN WALK TO fight DIABETE

Residents of the Illawarra are invited to join in the world’s biggest Type 1 diabetes fundraising event, part of which is being held at Thirroul Beach Reserve on Sunday, November 8, organiser Brett Enman said. The 4.4km JDRF One Walk (previously the Walk to Cure Diabetes) will start at Thirroul Beach Reserve and take participants to Sandon Point and back. Check-in time is 9.30am. The event will include live music, barbecue, jumping castle and much more. Brett said the reserve and walk is pram- and wheelchair-friendly; some sections are not concreted, but should be manageable. Dogs are permitted on leads. Public parking is available and the start-point is a five-minute walk from Thirroul train station. “The purpose of the event is two-fold,” Brett said. “Firstly, to raise awareness of Type 1 diabetes (also known as juvenile diabetes), which is very challenging to manage and mainly affects children, although adults can also have Type 1. “My son went undiagnosed for two weeks and was lucky he did not go into a coma. We managed to get a diagnosis before this happened. “Secondly, to consolidate funds for research into Type 1. “I am personally affected by this disease and my experience is that it is very difficult to manage and almost everyone I speak to has very little knowledge about the disease.” The walk is a lead-up to World Diabetes Day on November 14. www.jdrf.org.au/walk/2015 2515
