Awesome 18th show

Shane Adams reports on this year’s 18th Scarborough Art Show, held over the weekend of October 7 to 9.

More than 400 people and local band The Leisure Coasters imparted a great vibe on the October 7 opening night.

Run by the parents of Scarborough Public School, the show was a feast for the eyes for visitors who flocked to the region. More than 160 artists submitted work and well over 1500 people attended the show. Works by young artists hung beside professionals such as Ashley Frost, Tanya Stubbles and Paul Ryan. It was wonderful to have Tanya Stubbles exhibiting again after a tumultuous year.

Many primary school students entered the Artspark competition, this year with the theme “Animals”. The people’s choice award went to Peggy

The Bowlo will go on

Scarborough-Wombarra Bowling Club is looking forward to greener pastures, reports Heather Smith Four years after the Scarborough-Wombarra Bowling Club was sold to an aged care provider and rescued from insolvency, president Marton Fox is perplexed by recent complaints about the redevelopment.

As far as he’s concerned, plans by Estia Health (which acquired the property when it bought the Kennedy Health Care Group in December last year) will enhance the site and preserve the club.

“We’ll have a brand new clubhouse and a 99-year lease,” Marton said.

“We’ll have three rinks (half greens) on the roof and another three competition-size rinks parallel to Lawrence Hargrave Drive.”

The club’s executive negotiated the inclusion of bowling greens in the redevelopment as none were envisaged when Kennedy Health bought it in October 2012.

The clubhouse will be built over the current driveway and carpark with access from an underground parking area.

A development application has yet to be lodged but a 100-bed residential care facility over three levels is proposed.

A few neighbours have claimed the proposal constitutes an over-development of the site and the loss of a meeting place. Commenting on an article in the Illawarra Mercury, titled “Game on as developer eyes beloved Scarborough-Wombarra Bowling Club”, the former manager of the club,

Darren Van Der Hoff, said this could not be further from the truth. “The clubhouse will be rebuilt to a much more modern standard, giving residents a more comfortable and inviting place to meet,” he said. “The underground parking will also have a positive impact as it will alleviate some of the parking issues because it incorporates almost twice the amount of car spaces as the club currently has while also providing staff parking for the retirement home.”

Board members appointed Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as voluntary administrators in April 2012 and the property was sold six months later, with patronage and finances strengthening since.

Marton reckons visitor numbers at the seaside greens have doubled in the past year as barefoot bowls gains popularity and businesses see it as the perfect venue for team building and bonding.

Despite its improved reputation – aided, Marton says, by “the best Thai-Oz on the Coast” at the Black Duck restaurant – the ageing clubhouse is in need of more repairs and maintenance.

Marton expects construction will get underway

by June next year, with the heritage of the site to be acknowledged.

“The Honours Boards will be included as will tributes to miners and surfers,” he said.

Estia Health must build a new clubhouse within nine years of the date of purchase, in accordance with the original contract. 2515

Play

Before retirement Alan Schultz was a high school teacher in Victoria, Albury and the Illawarra. Now a popular figure in Thirroul, he regularly plays the huge pipe organ at Wollongong Town Hall and practises daily at home on the piano. Janice Creenaune reports.

Alan Schultz began playing the piano as a 12-year-old in Albury. “My mother ensured both my brother, John, and I learned the piano as children. I continue to this day, but moved onto the organ as my passion.”

Alan attended Sydney University and completed a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Divinity.

He also completed a Masters in History at Sydney University, focusing his studies on the political statesman William Gladstone. “But I continued to learn the piano and later moved to the huge sounds of the pipe organ.”

The great Robert Ampt (the organist at Sydney Town Hall) gave Alan lessons. “I spent many years with Robert, studying with him on the organ at the Lutheran church in Goulburn Street, Sydney. I was extremely fortunate to study with Robert. He remains an inspiration.”

Alan went on to study for another Masters degree at the Jesus College in Cambridge University, UK (his thesis was on Hubert Parry, the great English composer). “I was fortunate to be one of the organ players at the Jesus College and continued to practise often,” Alan says.

“I have never had my own organ. I am a purist at heart and it is the big pipes, the big organ and the big sound which continues to enthuse me.

“Originally, Wollongong Town Hall asked me to play the organ. It needs consistent playing to maintain the instrument. There are a couple of us who attempt to do this. I practise on the Town Hall organ twice a week, generally for about two hours each session, but I play piano at home each day for an hour or two.”

8

1 2 Alan plays popular numbers such as Moon River, marches, polonaises, and minuets. “I really love the Romantic period of Chopin and Debussy but I turn my hands to Bach and Czerny when I feel so inclined.”

When Alan plays at Wollongong Town Hall, he often attracts an audience off the streets.

“They hear the music and call in to listen to me.

One gentleman, from Young, just wanted to hear the music he recognised, but played on the pipe organ. I am always happy for an audience.

“I have tried other instruments, such as the oboe, but it is the organ which is always my first preference. The pipe organ is the perfect instrument because it covers all sounds,” Alan says.

“It relaxes me to play. I no longer have exams or real pressure. If I make a mistake I just go back and practise again and again if necessary.

“I aim for perfection, knowing full well I will never achieve it.”

Music helps keep him young at heart and is very important to him. “I am a bit of a loner. So much of my life has been about teaching children, but I continue to be very touched whenever a past student recognises me and simply says ‘hello’. There is great satisfaction in that simple gesture,” he says.

“I never married, I have always been a bit fussy really and I suppose music is really the love of my life. I am grateful for the support and companionship of my brother, John. We enjoy attending organ theatre concerts together and John is really good company. In October we will see American organist Martin Ellis, and later John Atwell and Tony Fenelon.” n Writer Janice Creenaune is the publicity officer for the Northern Illawarra University of the 3rd Age, which hold talks in the Excelsior Room of Thirroul Community Centre, 9.30-noon every Wednesday.

Shining Bird

Photos supplied by Shining Bird

This Austinmer band's summery pop has a growing legion of fans. 2515 reports.

Shining Bird, the self-described “experimental pop band” from Austi, have been busy touring, wowing crowds and performing their unique “Australianinfused dream pop” to the adoring masses.

The band has been around since 2012 and the current seven-strong line-up – Ricci Quirke (drums), Alastair Webster (guitar, songwriter), James Kates (percussion), Russell Webster (keyboards, songwriter), Nathan Stratton (bass), Michael Slater (sax) and Dane Taylor (vocals, songwriter) – is well known in the Illawarra region and further afield.

Shining Bird’s distinctive sound – influences include Beach Boys, Nick Cave, The Church, and The Triffids – and their enthusiastic live shows have made them a real hit on the nation’s festival

circuit; they’ve played at the Yours and Owls Festival, Newtown Festival, Secret Garden Festival, Melbourne Music Week and many more. Their live shows are so fantastic they were a finalist for Best Live Act award in the Sydney Music, Art & Culture Awards. They’ve supported such music giants as Kurt Vile, Franz Ferdinand, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The Drones and others.

Shining Bird released their debut EP, Shade of the Sea, in 2012, and then their debut album, Leisure Coast, on Aaron Curnow's Spunk Records, in 2013. Their follow-up song, the highly praised Rivermouth, was voted Song Of The Year at the 2015 FBi Radio SMAC (Sydney Music Arts & Culture) Awards.

Some of the lads on a salt plain near Coober Pedy

Now they have released the much-anticipated album, Black Opal, and are busy touring and promoting it with shows in the outback and along the east coast.

Dane took time out of the band's hectic rehearsing, performing and touring schedule to answer questions from 2515.

Describe Black Opal to our readers.

Black Opal is nine tracks in total. It includes our collaboration with legendary didgeridoo player Charlie McMahon from 1980’s Australian pioneers Gondwanaland. Check out their album, Let The Dog Out. Why should music lovers download/buy this new album?

We feel it’s our best album yet!

In a previous interview with 2515, you described Shining Bird's music as “dream pop”. Does that description still apply?

I think the tag ‘Dream Pop’ still applies, but I hate to nail it down.

Generally, we take inspiration from Australian landscapes, culture, art, history, and exactly where and how we fit in.

Overall, this record has more of an inland feel to it than Leisure Coast.

How does the 2515 region, the coastline, influence your songwriting, your music?

We can’t help but be inspired by our surroundings.

The coastline we live on is, in my opinion, some of the most beautiful on earth. Black Opal was written

and recorded between Austinmer and Blackheath (in the Blue Mountains). The environment we spend time in somehow makes its way into the songs, in one way or another.

How has the band's music changed?

I think the most significant difference is that we are now a full touring band. When Russell [Webster] and I first started writing music together it was just the two of us in my bedroom with a computer. We now have seven members. Playing and touring can be a helluva lot of fun with that many mates together on the road.

What can people expect at one of your gigs?

We will be playing the new record in its entirety, plus the hits.

Our show at Anita’s Theatre on Friday the 18th November is the last of this tour – so it's gonna be huge!

And after that?

We would love to return to remote central Australia after recently touring and visiting towns and communities there.

We are also looking to head to Europe mid next year as a part of a recent UK/Europe record label signing. n Shining Bird will celebrate the release of their new album, Black Opal, with an all-ages gig at Anita’s Theatre, Thirroul on Friday, November 18, from 8pm to 11pm; doors open at 7pm.

What’s inside your cider?

Want to support Australian farmers? Always read the label, writes Jo Fahey of Glenbernie Orchard, the fourth-generation family fruit farm in Darkes Forest, makers of Darkes Cider.

There’s a growing enthusiasm and a positive energy for apple cider. People want to try different styles, flavours and techniques. Traditionally, cider is made from 100 percent apple juice, relying on the apples to give the flavour, but this is not always the case.

Many drinks are being marketed now as cider but they have been made from an array of other fruits, or perhaps even no fresh fruit or apple content at all. Currently Australia’s labelling laws allow synthesised products to enter the Australian market. These products use other ingredients to generate flavour; they can simply be a mixture of water, sugar, flavourings, alcohol and concentrate.

If the label lists water as a major ingredient you will have some clues as to what is in it. Cider made from fresh crushed apples does not contain water.

Clever wording on labels makes it difficult to work out what is in a product; phrases such as “fresh taste” do not mean “fresh apple juice”.

Alcoholic beverages are also currently not required to state country of origin in the labelling, so you may not be able to tell what country the content came from. Often when a product’s label states “Made from local and imported ingredients”, the local element is simply the water they added or possibly the packaging.

Darkes Cider is made from 100 percent fresh crushed apple juice; we only use our own freshly grown apples to make our cider blends. No added water, sugar or flavours. The same fruit we grow

and pick for eating goes into our cider – this gives it a fresh taste. Our packaging and labels are also produced in Australia by Australian companies. We are getting wonderful support locally. Many venues close to us are giving us a go and locals are proud of what we are trying to do.

Recently we planted 28 new varieties of apple grown traditionally in Europe for cider. They are for trial in making new flavours naturally and interesting cider styles into the future. We will have to be patient. It is a lengthy commitment as the trees won’t have full production for several years.

Read labels; if something is not made entirely from Australian ingredients, especially Aussie apples, then the company responsible for that product does not support Australian farming. 2515

Three steps to happy kids Teacher and child psychologist Jenna Claire Fletcher believes parents need to teach children what schools don’t.

We live in a society with abundant stimulation, yet depression is on the rise. Why are so many kids unhappy?

I believe kids are bombarded with media influences that affect their wellbeing. They face bullying, body-image pressure and self-esteem stress. Subsequently, many kids are living in a continual state of selfconsciousness, trying to conform to the norm.

In my experience, schools don’t teach self-worth – topics such as self-love, self-care and selfexpression are largely ignored, and assumed to be taught at home.

We need to help our kids love themselves unconditionally, look after themselves and confidently express themselves. Here are my three approaches: FREE THEIR MIND Teach your children to recognise positive versus negative thoughts about themselves. The aim is to “pull down” positive thoughts and “flick out” negative thoughts.

Encourage them to focus on their individual strengths, so self-love naturally begins to flow.

The aim of “self-love” is for a child to be independently content – that is, to be happy with who they are and to love themselves unconditionally.

LOVE THEIR BODY Encourage your child to accept, appreciate and nurture their body, and look after it every day.

Redirect their focus to “being well” as opposed to “how I look” (in their body size and image).

When a child focuses on health not appearance, it changes their perception of themselves.

The aim of “self-care” is for your child to be healthy mentally, emotionally and physically.

OPEN THEIR SOUL Talk to you child about redefining the word “beautiful” and discuss what it means to be “genuinely confident” (rather than over- or underconfident), and the importance of being unique in today’s society.

Remind them to eliminate self-consciousness and be their true self, to let their beauty shine from within.

The aim is to be authentically unique – to embrace individuality and stay true to yourself. 2515 Jenna Claire Fletcher is a coach and mentor for girls in the Illawarra.

What’s the red stuff?

This is kino gum (also called “red gum” or “bloodwood”) coming out of the tree. It may be caused by abrasion, for example, from vehicles, animals, drilling or branches tearing, or even root pruning.

What happened to this tree?

It looks like a borer insect attacked and created a tunnel through the tree, and the kino gum has been produced by the tree as a way of trying to stop it by trapping and destroying it. (Trees are far cleverer than we give them credit for.)

Ask Bohmer

Arborist Clive Woodnutt (aka Bohmer, his climbing name) answers readers’ questions.

My tree is dying! Help.

We were called out to look at this tree, the eucalypt Corymbia ficifolia, by a resident of the Illawarra who was worried about what looked like blood seeping from the tree and thought it might need to be removed.

What’s the diagnosis?

After an assessment, we informed the client that it’s best not to interfere or remove it (always a last resort for true tree lovers) but will review it in six months. Stay tuned as to whether or not the ‘wound’ healed! n Do you have a question for the Illawarra’s Tree Whisperer? Email info@bohmerstreecare.com.au.

Saddle up for writing workshops Successful Aussie author Pamela Cook has moved to our region and, as well as writing more novels, she’s now hosting creative writing workshops. 2515 reports.

Pamela Cook has taken a family passion for horses and used it as a rich source of material for her novels, which she describes as “rural fiction with romantic elements”.

With four books now to her name – Blackwattle Lake, Essie’s Way, Close to Home, and The Crossroads – the former Shire resident has moved to Helensburgh so her family can fully embrace their love of the country life.

Pamela kindly took time out of her busy schedule to answer some of 2515’s questions.

Describe your novels to our readers.

All my novels are set in the country (the first three on the South Coast and the new release in outback Queensland). The plots revolve around the life and relationships of one or more female characters who are all strong, independent women. Horses feature to a greater or lesser extent in all four, along with beautiful Australian settings.

You say that all of your books have “a horsey element”.

Is that because it’s a subject that interests you, or is it simply a case of applying that old writer’s adage of ‘write what you know’?

Both. We currently have 10 horses as part of our family and after all three of my daughters started to ride as children I adopted an “If you can’t beat them join them” approach and began riding myself.

Spending so much time with horses and in horsey environments meant that it was an easy subject to include in my novels. And one I love writing about.

Having said that, the horses are generally a part of the story but not the main element.

Outline a typical writing day.

I’m very undisciplined but when I have a deadline it would go something like this: wake and have breakfast, do some house organising, check emails and social media (a necessary evil for writers) and then begin writing. I aim for a couple of thousand

words a day for a first draft which can take up to three hours. If I’m in editing mode I could be sitting at the computer for six hours or so with a few sanity breaks in between. I also teach writing courses online and face to face so I often have reading or preparation to do for that.

How has your writing changed since your first novel, Blackwattle Lake?

Nothing much has changed in terms of my process.

I like to write a first draft fairly quickly and then spend as much time as possible editing and revising. I have learnt a lot along the way about character development, creating tension and making sure I give the reader a reason to turn the page.

Real food with Steph Stephanie Meades has a recipe for a tasty and healthy soup that aims to satisfy everyone in your family.

IN SEASON

Whether you call the tomato a fruit or vegetable, there is no doubt it’s a food we should be eating more of.

Tomatoes are packed with nutrients and antioxidants, including an impressive amount of vitamins A, C and K, as well as vitamin B6, folate, and thiamin. Do yourself a favour and plant a tomato seedling today!

One of the best things about spring is the way the garden comes to life producing awesome fresh produce that inspires new and exciting recipes in our household.

This one was inspired by the first bumper crop of delicious, juicy bright red tomatoes which graced our garden bed this week. It is a slightly odd combination of fresh produce but, trust me, it works. This soup can be served warm with some crusty sourdough or cold (like a gazpacho) with a side salad or whole food crackers.

I hope you enjoy this nutritious and delicious spring soup as much as we do. A bowl of this soup is sure to leave you feeling fresh and energised with a ‘spring’ in your step.

SIMPLY DELICIOUS SPRING SOUP INGREDIENTS: 5 large ripe tomatoes, roughly diced 1 ripe avocado, chopped 3 shallots, chopped ¼ cup ground almonds 1 cup vegetable broth 1 tsp of fresh dill, finely chopped (or ½ tsp of dried dill leaf) Dash of cayenne pepper Sea salt and pepper to taste METHOD:

Place all ingredients into a blender or food processor (with the exception of 1 tomato, which will be used to top the soup). Blend until smooth.

Depending on whether you want to eat it cold or hot, you can then warm the soup by placing it in a saucepan and slowly heating.

Top the soup with diced tomato, a sprinkle of fresh dill and some more salt and pepper for taste.

Enjoy. n For more real food recipes or advice on healthy living, visit www.lifewellnessco.com, or pop into Thirroul’s Flame Tree Community Co-op and check out the recipe folder in store. 2515

Dr Rip’s Science of the Surf Part 3 of ‘The Sands You Walk Upon’, by Dr Rob Brander.

This column completes my “Sands of Time” trilogy where I talk about the marvels of the beautiful golden stuff that makes up our beaches. Ah, but it’s not always golden.

There are black sand beaches in New Zealand that turn into a furnace when the sun comes out, melting jandals (translation: thongs) and creating bizarre scenes where beachgoers sprint across the sand to extinguish burning feet in the water, find relief in small patches of shadows, or stand on ‘chully bun luds’ (translation: esky lid) in order to escape the inferno.

Then there’s white sand beaches like Hyams Beach that claim to have the whitest sand in the world (like many other beaches around the world, but how white is white?) that are so bright you can go snow blind without sunglasses. And there’s the multi-coloured sands of Rainbow Beach in Queensland which supposedly contain every colour of the rainbow, but good luck finding green or blue.

For green you have to go to Hawaii where some beaches at first glance appear to be a bit mouldy.

So there is clearly a wide range of beach sand colours, but there’s no mystery behind the reasons why. It really comes down to two things: the age of the sand grains and the mineralogy. Most sand grains on beaches are made from the most common mineral on earth: quartz, which in its purest form is white. So beaches like Hyams are made up of very old sand that has had all its impurities eroded away by abrasion over time. Beaches like Stanwell Park or Thirroul contain quartz sand that is a little younger and still coated with material, giving it a browner colour.

Black sand is volcanic in origin, which is why you only get well developed black sand beaches in places like New Zealand, Hawaii and Iceland. The source rock is also different and instead of quartz minerals, you get sand grains made up of heavy minerals (which are black) like zircon and rutile.

Those green sand beaches in Hawaii are also volcanic in origin and form under special conditions where molten lava cools very quickly, like when it enters the ocean. This creates olivine minerals, which are green.

The multi-coloured sands of Rainbow Beach are all related to the amount of iron contained within the ancient river-deposited sand found in the beach and dunes. As iron oxidises (or essentially rusts) it creates various hues of reds, oranges, pinks and yellows. The more iron present and the longer the oxidation process has been going on, the redder the sand gets.

Oh wait, I haven’t mentioned those lovely carbonate beaches made up of broken bits of shells and corals…

Have a question for Dr Rip? Email rbrander@unsw. edu.au or head to www.scienceofthesurf.com to buy Dr Rip’s Essential Beach Book. 2515

Dear Editor

CAT ENCLOSURES SAVE LIVES As the population of the Illawarra increases and development encroaches on bushland, it is essential for dog and cat owners to keep their companion animals under control at all times to protect vulnerable wildlife. Cats are nocturnal hunters by nature, and so are particularly dangerous to nocturnal native mammals. However, cats’ prey also includes birds, reptiles and other creatures.

The solution to preventing cats from harming native animals is to keep them in cat enclosures.

A local builder constructed the enclosure shown here at half the cost of companies specialising in

cat “runs”. The back veranda of the house is enclosed in nearly invisible 10mm wire. The cat can access it through a cat flap. He can watch birds, pythons (pictured), spot trains, keep an eye on neighbours, sun, run, climb and sleep or just relax.

Not only is the wildlife protected from him, he is also safe from the many potential dangers that the wider environment presents. While confining the cat to an enclosure is a compromise, it means that native birds and animals thrive in the garden, which is a small price for peaceful co-existence and peace of mind.

TNC REPORT

Thirroul Neighbourhood Centre staff remind us all to think of others – and give generously.

TNC is an important part of our community. The Centre has provided a space for others to gather; to socialise; to gain new skills and to host events. It is also a place that people in need can come to access assistance in times of trouble.

The Centre has a community pantry that is available to everyone. The pantry is stocked with dry and tinned food and hygiene products, and staff and volunteers are available to make up parcels for those who need them. The Centre has been able to give homeless people sleeping bags and backpacks, which have items, such as gloves and socks, some food and toilet articles.

TNC relies on the generosity of local community members who donate the items the Centre is able to distribute.

At this time of the year, we are asking people to think of those who are struggling and to give generously to help those in need. 2515

Sip and shop

At these two cafes, you can have your cake and Christmas shop too. Cath Hill reports.

Lime Leaf salads have ingredients fresh from the nursery garden.

Everything is elegant at Oat and Honey's new espresso bar in Helensburgh.

LIME LEAF CAFE

Sunrise Nursery, 193 Princes Highway, Helensburgh, 0432 733 771.

Tue-Fri 8.30am-4pm, Sat-Sun 9am-4pm, cafe closed Mon. Nestled in Sunrise Nursery, Lime Leaf Cafe is a popular spot to enjoy great food and relax among beautiful plants.

We chose the delicious homemade corn, carrot and zucchini fritters. Some of the ingredients for the fresh salads come straight from the nursery’s vegetable garden. There are fun options too, such as iced chocolates with Persian fairy floss.

Lime Leaf is family-friendly, with a kid’s platter including a sandwich, fruit, vegie sticks and a biscuit for $6. There are toys, rows of plants to explore and the nursery’s chickens to meet.

Well-behaved dogs on a leash are welcome.

Sunrise Nursery has a large giftshop with excellent options for emergency kids’ birthday party presents, as well as stylish homewares. A pleasant way to shop over a good coffee.

SAVE THE DATE The Christmas Twilight Market at Sunrise Nursery will be on Thursday, December 8, from 4.30-8.30pm.

OAT AND HONEY

35 Walker Street, Helensburgh, (02) 4294 4244.

Open daily: Mon-Fri 6am-5pm, Sat 7am-4pm, Sun 8am-3pm Local gift and homewares store Oat and Honey have launched their first cafe/shop on Walker Street in Helensburgh.

The new espresso bar inside serves White Horse coffee and an impressive selection of sweet and savoury treats.

We tucked into the spinach and ricotta burek. My son loved it, unknowingly and happily eating vegetables in the process.

Owner Anita Trabjerg-Hill has created a beautiful, calm space where you can browse from the comfort of your cafe chair. Oat and Honey is full of elegant and tasteful things – vases, handbags, clothes, cushions, baby items, soaps, candles and much more.

There is a complimentary gift wrapping service too. A leisurely way to shop without the mad scramble to a shopping centre. 2515

WELL DONE! And the winner of the best content marketing campaign in the country is... NICC member Symbio Wildlife Park!

Symbio took home the Content Marketing Award at the National AMI Marketing Excellence Awards, held at Sheridan on the Park in Sydney, on October 19. The Helensburgh zoo’s ‘Meet the Family’ campaign featured three worldwide No.1 trending posts on Facebook, over 20 viral videos and three viral photography series. Marketing manager and the man behind the camera and the development of the campaign, Kevin Fallon said: “I am simply a story-teller, one who gets to tell the story of the lives of the animals that are part of the Symbio family, and showcase the tireless work of our keepers.” Family-owned Symbio was up against the likes of Hard Hat and BCM ad agencies.

Thirroul SLSC youth team excels at world titles The Thirroul Surf Life Saving Club’s Youth team performed “well above expectations” at the 2016 World Youth Surf Life Saving Championships, the club’s director of surf sports, Troy Beaumont said.

The championships were held from September 1 to 18 in Eindhoven and Noordwijk, The Netherlands.

The Youth crew included Jake Beaumont (16 years old); Kate Dryden (16); Sienna Stuart (15); Dylan Gillett (15); Zachary Brett (14); and Meghan Fox (16).

The Thirroul team finished 20th on the table, out of about 90 clubs.

“It was a great result for the club and unexpected,” Troy told 2515 Coast News.

“The Youth team really did make the Thirroul club name known on the world stage.”

Jake won silver in the board, a 12th place in the Ironman final, 17th in the ski final and 22nd in the surf swim final. He did 11 races in one day. Jake and Zac placed 5th in the board rescue final.

Zac made it into the board semi-final and was in

first spot before he got caught on the rope line holding the cans in place and finished back in the field.

“But an outstanding effort for a 14-year-old in the U19s,” Troy said.

Dylan came 4th in the board final, just missing out on a medal, and also made the surf swim final and the Ironman semi-final.

Sienna made the final in the board and was unlucky not to get a medal; she’d been in second place for most of the race but the waves just didn’t break where she was paddling. She placed 4th.

Sienna won her surf swim semi-final, making it to the final.

Meghan came in 5th in the board final and was unlucky not to get a medal. She also made the final in the Ironwoman and ski semi-final.

Meghan and Kate Dryden finished 6th in the board rescue final.

Kate came 10th in the Ironwoman final and made the surf swim final as well as the ski semi-finals. 2515
