To mark the centenary of Armstice, Helensburgh’s Historical Society has published a tremendous record of more than 400 servicemen, including the only son of Lawrence Hargrave. 2515 reports.

WW1 Book_p01

HELENSBUR Cover.indd

World War One ended at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 when Germany signed an armistice prepared by Britain and France. To mark the centenary of peace, Helensburgh and District Historical Society has published a book, Our Boys Not Forgotten. It is a mammoth project that puts names and stories to the statistics – World War One remains Australia’s most terrible in terms of numbers of dead and wounded. Our Boys Not Forgotten draws on service records, letters home, newspaper reports and old photographs to profile more than 400 men who went to war – a quarter of whom never came back. It is an outstanding effort by a local historical society, bringing to life a time, a town and the pioneer families who sacrificed so much. In the book are stories about all sorts of servicemen, from those reprimanded for being Absent Without Leave to those awarded for “conspicuous bravery in the field” (occasionally, these were the same people). Read about the only son of aviation pioneer Lawrence Hargrave, 22-year-old Geoffrey Lewis Hargrave, killed at Gallipoli, a tragedy said to have hastened the death of his father, who died from appendicitis complications weeks later. Read about the boys who lied about their age to enlist, the bloodshed at Gallipoli and letters home to mum. Starting in 2014, author Jenny Donohoe and her friend and co-author Mary Steenson spent four years researching the book. “We looked up information in Trove for the South Coast Times and Illawarra Mercury, it was great they were online,” Mary said. Other sources included the National Archives of Australia, the Australian War Memorial and Births, Deaths and Marriage records. The years of research threw up many challenges. “Finding their service number was the main problem with given incorrect spelling and initials to work with,” Jenny said. “Then when we found them we were faced with numerous pages of duplicated service records in old-fashioned ink and handwriting. Then we had to edit their story to a couple of hundred words.” Mary’s family, including both her grandfathers, are in the book. “William Henry Hunt, Francis

There were so many young men who did not hesitate to enlist,” Mary said.“The book has turned out to be a great contribution to the historical value of the district, giving our soldiers a name and a story that will live forever.” n Our Boys Not Forgotten will be on sale via historichelensburgh.org.au.

ART OF MOSAICS Thirroul mosaics tutor Susan McDonald and her students are holding a colourful new show at Hazelhurst. Please tell us a bit about yourself, and your career. I have been teaching mosaics at Hazelhurst Art Centre for 16 years now and previously was a graphic designer and art director in Sydney for 30 years. I worked on magazines, publications and a diversity of design projects. I also studied ceramics at Willoughby workshop for many years under Barbara Campbell-Allen. After moving from Sydney to Thirroul, I continued to work as an art director, but after having twins decided to try something different as I had been working in mosaics for years through my love of ceramics. I was lucky in acquiring the job of teaching at Hazelhurst. It has become my passion. What do you love about mosaics? And what are the challenges? Mosaics is truly a strong art form and its history goes back centuries, we are still uncovering mosaics today and they are preserved as if they were made yesterday. The mediums used mean the colours stay as rich as when they were first cut and the traditional way of laying gives the works the quality of looking like a fresco from a distance. Remarkable. The challenges of working a mosaic are the fact that often your colour palette is more limited than with paint. You need to learn how to mix your mediums – i.e. tiles, Smalti, glass etc – to get shadow and light and the strength of colour needed. By breaking down the colour palette to form other colours in point form. Like a pixelated print. This is why I love the strength of this art form. I love being able to incorporate my own ceramics as well to form textures and interesting

detail. The use of stone, marble, shell, glass and all sorts of other mediums to get the colours needed. The cutting techniques can take a long time to learn and so it can take many months to make a mosaic. It is very therapeutic to the soul to work in this art form. My recent works have become a mixture of all the different mediums I love to work with – Smalti, leadlight glass and my own tiles with a mixture of collected porcelain. Gustav Klimt’s work has had a big influence on my love of strong colour and composition. These works are a reflection of this. What do your classes involve? The classes at Hazelhurst consist of learning the techniques, the different mediums, planning a design, transferring to a substrate and then choosing your colour palette using what is available plus learning to source different mediums to achieve the right outcome. Some of the students have been attending for 13 years or more. The social aspect is pretty grand as well. What can we expect at Diversity? The Diversity exhibition coming up on the 17th November will have over 35 students work. The opening is at 2pm and finishes at 4pm, but the show goes till the 27th of November. The students work will reflect what the word “Diversity” means to them. It has been amazing to see the range of ideas the students have come up with, from looking at their cultural backgrounds to obscure ideas and the diversity of different mediums on colour and form, to nature and beyond. The diversity of this alone makes it such a colourful exhibition and one I know the students can be so proud of. n Diversity will be at Hazelhurst Arts Centre, 782 Kingsway Gymea, Nov 17-27, 10-5pm. 2515

THE HOME FRONT HOW TO MAXIMISE YOUR SALE PRICE One question sellers inevitably ask me is: “What can I do to my home to ensure that I get the best price?” This is a good question and one I’m glad you asked… There are some very cost-effective methods of ensuring that your home is presented in its best light and will assist in appealing to buyers’ emotions. Step 1 The most important step is to fix anything that is damaged or defective. This may be something as small as a broken tap. However, when the buyer sees small problems, they begin to question the upkeep of the home and wonder what other issues they may be missing. Step 2 The emotional response a buyer has to a property is largely based on visual appeal. Below are some relatively low-cost improvements that can greatly increase the aesthetic appeal of a home. • Paint internal and external walls, gutters & fence. • If carpet is worn, faded or stained, consider replacing it (especially in living areas).

• Polish floorboards if required. • Stain timber decking. • Clean any light grout around internal tiles. • Remove mouldy silicone around sinks and bathtubs, then re-silicone those areas. • Clean external pavers, paths and driveway. • Ensure lawn is kept neat and tidy. • Trim existing foliage, add more plants to garden beds where necessary and add fresh mulch.

G7039730AL-140115

Step 3 Consider updating or renovating some areas, spending money where it will be most appreciated. According to buyer surveys, the room expected to give the best return on your investment is the kitchen, followed by the bathroom. A quick update that does not require moving pipes – e.g. new tiles, benchtops and taps – can provide a fresh look at an affordable price. If you would like to chat with your local real estate expert about how to achieve the best price for your property, call Mattias on 0466 627 226.

MEET THE SCARBOROUGH

BOARDRIDERS

Our local club is celebrating another successful year of surfing, with presentation night coming up on November 17. 2515 reports. The Scarborough Boardriders is a club for all ages. They’re friendly and fun, renowned for their team spirit and, of course, surfing talent! With a string of recent triumphs, there’ll be lots to celebrate at the annual presentation night at Beaches Hotel in Thirroul on November 17. On October 20, the juniors took part in the Surfrider Illawarra Clean Beach Festival at North Wollongong Beach. Two teams of junior boys and girls competed in the surf tag event; one won on the day and in doing so clinched overall 1st place for the series. The day also included cleaning up the beach and a paddle out for the late Ian Kiernan. On September 15 at Kiama, the club came 2nd in Nudie Australian Boardriders Battle – NSW South Qualifier, so will go to the national event in February 2019. This was an amazing result, as five team members were under 18 years of age. Eight boys and eight girls went to the VISSLA Junior Kirra Teams Challenge, from September 22-24 in Queensland. The girls team exceeded all expectations, finishing 5th overall. The club also won the event’s Team Spirit award, thanks to the charisma of mascot Steelerman (watch the videos on the club’s Facebook page). The last pointscore of the year will be on Sunday, November 4. Presentation night at Beaches will include awards for all micro grommets, junior and senior club person of the year, the top 3 places in each of the club’s 10 divisions and other ad hoc

awards. Two DP surfboards will be given away in a draw and there’ll be a raffle for surfboards and wetsuits, then the Fat Albert band will play, wrapping up another fantastic year. Club president Christian De Clouett kindly took time to answer 2515’s questions. Please tell us a bit about yourself. I’m currently in my 15th year as president of the Scarborough Boardriders Club. I’m married with two young adult children: Tahlee, 21, and Darcy, 18. As a child I grew up going to my local beach at Scarborough. My parents moved house three times when I was little but all three moves were in Wombarra! Ha ha – each with only ever one minute walk to the beach. Growing up in this community was great back then, and I surfed mainly for fun and the healthy lifestyle. However, through my late teens I decided to test myself against our region’s best and slowly came into some success in competitive surfing up and down the coast. I decided to give it a real go in the late 90s and early 2000s, gaining some solid sponsorship and joining the world stage and was able to reach a world ranking of 100 on the World Qualifying Series in two of those last years. However with family pressures and constant travel I resigned myself to the fact that being a dad and home life with the family at Wombarra is where I needed to be.

COVE FEATU R RE

‘Boardrider clubs are the breeding ground for the champions of tomorrow.’ – Surfing NSW When did you join and what do you love about the club? With all the experience learned in that time on tour I decided to get more involved with our local Boardriders Club and became president in 2003. I saw a real chance to involve myself and nurture what has always been a great foundation for surfing talent, but at the same time our local boardriding clubs had struggled to get any real exposure. At that stage, the club was really only a social club with a bunch of talented local surfers (mainly men) that met maybe eight times a year and never competed against other clubs, nor any of their surfers compete individually either. What I love about it now is it has evolved as an inclusive club with positive and supportive morale. The culture is amazing and the support from local businesses who sponsor the club has enabled us to grow our success in a competitive realm. Fill us in on the history of the Scarborough Boardriders. The club was founded in 1984 by a woman by the name of Bettina Huckle (now Bulli) who worked at Skipp Surfboards in Wollongong and lived in Coledale at that time and would bring out small prizes – wax/stickers etc – for the winners those days. It has had its various changes and ebbs and flows with multiple presidents and committee members, but never ever lost its sense of community and has really been a institution,

I believe, for all the kids that have come through over the years in the northern suburbs. What are some of the club's goals? First and foremost we are part of the community, a place where boys and girls, men and women of any age can come and have a crack at competitive surfing in a fun, inclusive environment. As a club over the past 10 or so years we really focused on our Juniors and put all money raised into their development – to this day we still do. We also were the first club in our region to introduce a Micro Gromz division and that is paying back massively now! We have one of our first ever Micros now with a 2017 rank of 86th in the World (Kalani Ball). Of late we have turned a lot of our focus towards our culture from within – getting that belief as a club to do well as a club or individually, but not always being about rewarding the best surfers but also the many members and families that make the club; we never want to change or lose that. Who are some of the club’s stars? Currently on the world stage we have Kalani Ball, Nic Squiers, Darcy De Clouett, Kasey Hargreaves, Billie Melinz, Darcy De Clouett, Fin Mclaren all doing well for themselves and we are so happy we as a club played a part in all this.

How often do you meet? We meet on 11 Sundays a year at Scarborough Beach mostly, however, we have a trailer and are mobile from Stanwell Park through Austinmer pending surf conditions on the day. How many members do you have? Approximately 160 members in total, ranging from our Micro Gromz boys and girls, from age 4 right up to men and women in their 60s. What are the rewards of being part of the Boardriders? It can be whatever you really want it to be, from honing competition skills, to a social thing, to a surf with friends or to meet new friends, or even a motivator to surf or reason to be active on a Sunday.

BE WEED WISE

With horticulturalist Merilyn House.

WEED AWAY: Small leaf privet (Ligustrum sinense) Small leaf privet is native to Asia. This plant was commonly used as a hedge plant in the past but causes allergies in humans, and has become invasive in native bushland, and neglected gardens and wastelands. Small leaf privet is considered to be serious environmental weed throughout Australia. Infestations threaten biodiversity, including endangered plant and animal species and ecological communities. Dense stands of privet prevent other vegetation surviving or establishing. Small leaf privet is a shrub or small tree that has green leaves up to 7cm long, usually with wavy margins. Privet flowers in spring. Its flowers are small, white and strongly scented in large sprays on the ends of, or along, the branches. Flowers are followed by blue/black berries which are attractive to birds. Dispersal: This species reproduces by seed and root suckers, and it also re-sprouts after its stems are deliberately cut or otherwise damaged. Its seeds are readily dispersed by fruit-eating birds and other animals. They may also be spread by water or in dumped garden waste. Privet is unlikely to be sold in nurseries but may be available at fetes or markets. Do not plant it, and if it is already present in your garden please remove

Small leaf privet is invasive in bushland and causes allergies in humans. it so it doesn’t get a chance to spread further. You may find privet seedlings coming up regularly in your garden under any trees. Removal: Remove young plants by hand. This is best done when the soil is moist to ensure you do not break off or leave any of the root system in the ground. For plants that cannot be pulled out, carefully dig out the plant, removing as much of the root system as possible. Large plants may need chemical treatment.

ASK BOHMER

Q: How do I stop gum balls dropping from my liquid amber tree - or any annoying fruit that drops and makes a mess of my pool area? I love my tree so don’t want to remove it!

If you don’t want to harm your tree (and that’s a really good thing), then I suggest you buy a good blower or vacuum and simply spend the weekends clearing them. There is no short fix for this issue in Australia; unlike other countries such as America whereby people inject hormones into the tree to attempt to disrupt a plant’s mating sequence, which in turn affects how they produce fruits and nuts, this is not legal here. However, we are seeing more and

SURFRIDER

Cleaning beaches is a start, but turning off the plastic tap is the best solution, writes Susie Crick. THERE IS NO ‘AWAY’ The October rains have been fantastic for our gardens and making the colours of the escarpment come to life, but with all of that rain comes the great drain flush. After long periods of no rain, our drains fill up with discarded everyday items, long forgotten but never gone. All of our garbage, plastic, Styrofoam, run-off and general waste makes the long journey through rivers and creeks all the way to the sea; we are all connected. People are coming to realise that whether you are coastal or inland, we all depend on the sea for the very air that we breathe so it’s up to us to ensure that we keep our oceans and waterways clean. The flow of rubbish to our large ocean drains is a reminder that there is no “away” in our “throw it away” society. We have to turn this around and stop producing unnecessary plastics and stop buying products packaged in plastic; this action will be far more effective than any beach clean. The fact that the package has a recycle label means little when the truth is that only a very small portion of plastics ever get recycled. Turning off the plastic tap is our best option. Refuse using any single-use plastics whenever you can, and do your best to shop responsibly by avoiding items wrapped or packed in plastic. We live in a plastic world but that doesn’t mean that we have to contribute to, or perpetuate the problem, because like it or not, we

MEET THE SCIENTIST

Is anyone here a marine biologist? Why yes – introducing Dr Marian Wong, the first in our new series promoting women with awesome jobs in coastal science. Dr Marian Wong is a senior lecturer in marine biology at UOW’s School of Biological Sciences. She studied a BA (Hon) in zoology at the University of Cambridge, UK, and did her PhD in marine biology at James Cook University in Townsville. Marian’s research interests are behavioural ecology and conservation biology of fishes. Last year, her work with species of clownfish (relatives of the famous Nemo) made headlines in The Guardian and ABC Radio – Marian was lead author in a study titled “Some anemonefish lack personality”, published in December 2017’s Coral Reefs journal. What inspired you to work in coastal science? As a kid I loved the ocean and would spend much time snorkelling with my family in Malaysia (where they’re from). I think that’s what inspired it. What have been some of your career highlights? Delving into the secret lives of fish and trying to understand why they do what they do, that has been the highlight. Also, mentoring great young scientists in their research endeavours, whether they be undergrads or postgrads. Always get a buzz from watching them explore and achieve. Tell us more about the secret lives of fish. There are lots of things I’ve learnt about the social lives of fish. The overall message is their social lives are surprisingly complex. They can develop permanent associations with each other, travel

great distances to return back to their original mates or groups, breed monogamously with just one other partner for much of their lives, become aggressive even if you minutely disturb their social order, aggressively defend their mates and territories from potential usurpers, restrict their own growth so that they are allowed in the group… the list goes on. With this knowledge, I have developed an incredible respect for fish that form groups. If I do an experiment where, say, I have to remove one fish from its group, I’m really careful about which fish I remove and how long I remove it for. I also make sure to return it back to the same group at the end of the experiment. Groups of fish are not just random collections of individuals that happen to live together. Instead, they carefully choose who to live with and develop close associations with those individuals. Just like us really. How has your research made a contribution? I’ve used fish to explore questions about why animals are social and form groups, how their groups are established and what keeps the peace within groups. Fish aren’t really the typical type of animal that have been used to answer these questions, so that’s the contribution I have made. What do you love about your job? Working with fish, working in some stunning locations, and working with other hard-working people! Has gender bias been an issue, and do you have any advice for young women wanting to work in coastal science? It hasn’t been an issue for me so I suppose I’ve been quite lucky. My main advice would be to just go for it 100 percent if that’s what you want to do – regardless of if you’re a man or a woman. 2515

95 YEARS YOUNG

Ron Witton and Steve Turner report on the 1st Austinmer Scouts’ anniversary celebrations.

The second event is a free open day from 10am to 2pm on Saturday, November 17 at the 1st Austinmer Scout Group hall, 20 Moore Street, Austinmer. For event details, contact Steve on srturner@bigpond.com or 0409 695 575.

In 2018 1st Austinmer is celebrating its 95th anniversary and to mark the occasion it is staging two milestone events this month: the first is a 95th anniversary dinner from 6pm on Friday, November 16, at Thirroul Bowling & Leagues Club. Limited seats are available. Cost is $30 per person to be paid when booking. To book, call Steve Turner on 0409 695 575 or email him on srturner@bigpond.com.

HISTORY OF THE 1ST AUSTINMER SCOUT GROUP Set into a rock in the grounds of the 1st Austinmer Scout hall in Moore St, Austinmer, is a memorial tablet, stating: “Be Prepared, 1st Austinmer Boy Scouts and Girl Guides Hall. This Tablet was set for Miss ELIZABETH A. ALLEN on 4th Sept. 1926 By Miss FRANCES M. ALLEN”. Many a person walking up Austinmer’s historical Moore St precinct has walked past

the memorial rock near the hall’s front fence and read its inscription. Most, if they knew anything of Austinmer’s history, would have believed that the Allen sisters named on the tablet were linked to the Allen Estate, the large local landholding acquired in the 1870s by Sir George Wigram Allen, Sydney’s prominent solicitor, politician and philanthropist. The seat of the Allen family was in Glebe in Sydney where, like Austinmer, one finds streets such as Allen St, Wigram St, and Toxteth Avenue, the names of which derive from the Allen family. However, the Allen sisters named on the memorial tablet have no connection to that august family, a fact that has been confirmed by the descendants of the Allen family in Sydney. They were in fact locals, the family having moved to Austinmer from the Northern Territory. The question therefore arises: What was the Allen sisters’ connection to the scout hall in the grounds of which their names are commemorated? On 16 November 1923, three years prior to the date engraved on the memorial tablet, the 1st Austinmer Scout and Guide Troop had been registered as part of the Empire’s fast growing

PAINT WITH STYLE Janice Creenaune meets Thelma “Skye” Zaracostas, previously a veterinary nurse, who now works in the world of painting, mixed media and recycled works. Skye’s eyes twinkle when the magic of her works are discussed. “I just paint and create what I feel,” Skye admits, “it depends on my feelings and mood at the time.” Skye paints traditional portraits, landscapes and experiments with contemporary techniques through differing styles and themes. “I just get enjoyment from doing different things.” She began in 2006 at Wollongong TAFE, which opened new doors and broadened her knowledge in materials. “The Fine Arts course at West Wollongong was a vibrant scene at the time and was much needed in the area. There were a lot of us looking for alternative directions. And TAFE gave it to us,” Skye explains. “TAFE gave us structure in materials, direction in our work and we all needed more.” The TAFE group also offered early opportunities to exhibit and sell work. Skye works in paint, acrylics, oils and mixed media and is often inspired by the local environment. “My own children inspire me, the local natural environment in the Northern Illawarra as well as the wider world. Disasters and in particular the industrial/urban landscape are particular favourites of mine.” “I am constantly learning, but I do work to support my art.” Skye has also worked as a children’s entertainer, a face and body artist and a gymnastics teacher and she currently works as a Transport Security Officer (TSO). “There is sometimes a natural progression with my work. My Sandon Point Sheds, for example, began as realistic images, the morphed into contemporary versions. There was a real and natural progression into a design. It just changed

and developed over time,” Skye says. “I am constantly learning, but I am very comfortable with myself. Very satisfied. My work is no longer precious. “I love that my art is on someone’s wall and can be appreciated by others. I do keep some works, but I am happy to see them go. I am happy to sell.” Skye has the vision before she starts a project. “It can evolve though into something different. My preparation is purposeful. I go to photograph. Collect tin, wire, other found objects and research … only then do I go on. It may take a day, weeks or even months for a project.” Various groups, such as WOW (Women Out of Work) or IAVA (Illawarra Association for the Visual Arts), all help to keep Skye motivated. “There is a like-mindedness, support and organisation within the groups which helps us all.” Skye now feels most at home in The Barrack Art Studios in Thirroul. “It is a great space, a secure lock-up with no disturbances. There are great artists just next door and we respect each other. I really love the atmosphere of the place too.” The future is wherever it leads Skye. “I no longer think about it really. I just put myself into my art (sometimes I even put myself) and wherever it leads the outcome is still the same. I am happy doing it and that is what matters.” n Writer Janice Creenaune is a voluntary ‘local hero’ for the PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) Foundation, helping to raise awareness in the Illawarra.

VET AT WORK

With Dr Matt O’Donnell. This month: paralysis ticks are out again. It is peak paralysis tick season again and we have already had the first case of tick paralysis. These ticks are potentially deadly to our pets as they can cause paralysis and respiratory failure. They can affect cats and dogs. Paralysis ticks are most prevalent in spring to early summer, but can occur any time of year if conditions are favourable. Nelson, a big lovable Mastiff, was brought in to us because he had collapsed. My colleague, Dr Ryan Stevenson, was straight onto the problem, found a tick on Nelson’s neck and started treatment. Unfortunately, Nelson also started vomiting; this not only poses a serious risk of choking but also aspiration and pneumonia. So where did Nelson get the tick? Paralysis ticks are predominantly found in bushy coastal areas but can also be in our yards if wildlife such as possums and bandicoots pass through. C OMMON SIGNS OF TICK PARALYSIS ARE: Weakness, incoordination, coughing or gagging, vomiting, changes to bark or meow and difficulty breathing. Often the first sign of paralysis is weakness in the hind legs progressing to the front legs until they can’t stand. The progressive paralysis causes breathing difficulties and can kill them.

LIFEOLOGY With Terri Ayliffe.

I agree with the saying “The older we get the less we know.” Truth is subjective and new information will challenge our beliefs. Information that opposes our world view may put us in a place of mental discomfort. Psychologists refer to this state as “cognitive dissonance”. Let’s say the medical fraternity publishes a study. The research is based in sound scientific practices, the evidence is clear. Coffee is unsafe, the report shows the beverage causes profound health issues. If this was the case, a vast majority of the population would find themselves in a state of cognitive dissonance. The new information creates a disparity between our beliefs and what we now know. We will need to reconcile the two alternative views to rid ourselves of the discomfort.

Nelson survived a paralysis tick bite.

Fortunately for Nelson, treatment was started early and a crisis averted. Antiserum prevented him from getting worse and he slowly recovered. HOW TO PREVENT PETS FROM GETTING A PARALYSIS TICK • Daily tick searching of your pet • Clipping or shaving your cat or dog during tick season as it makes tick searching easier • Using a product such as a spot on or chew such as Bravecto, NexGard or Simparica is a must. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PET HAS A TICK Remove it immediately with a tick detacher or grip it between thumb and forefinger, or tweezers, as close to where it is attached as possible and pull it away from the skin. It is possible your pet may still deteriorate. If your pet show any signs of tick paralysis take them to a veterinarian immediately. n Northern Illawarra Veterinary Hospital is at 332 Princes Highway, Bulli. Phone 4238 8575. 2515 Each time we then make a coffee the new knowledge confronts us. We have two choices: give up coffee or continue to drink it and ignore the new information. If we ignore the new information, each time the results appear in the media, we will feel the discomfort of cognitive conflict. To ease the unpleasant feeling, we will need to absorb the new information and alter our belief about coffee and shift our behaviour around our consumption. Mental flexibility protects us. Issues arise when we cement ourselves in ridged belief systems, which we refuse to challenge. If we can’t accept new information and alter our beliefs, we remain in a state of cognitive discomfort. Our beliefs are subject to knowledge collected at a specific point in time. So the older we get, the more information we gather, the more our world view will be challenged and the less we will know with certainty. n Read more of Terri’s work at https://lifeology.blog 2515

BEAUTY OF BIRDS

Let your creativity take flight! Wollongong Art Gallery will host a Birds of the Illawarra Watercolour Workshop with Ann Clarke on November 3 and 4. 2515 asked Ann to tell us what inspires her beautiful paintings and where to bird watch locally. “Whilst I’m not a bird watcher as such, I did grow up in Corrimal and spent a lot of my childhood playing in the bush, surrounded by flitting birds and their song,” Ann said. “The tinkle of bellbirds and the slow crack of the whipbird take me into that time and when I go bushwalking.

daughter studied Wildlife Conservation and volunteered for WIRES [Wildlife Information, Rescue and Education Service] so that has made me alert to the vulnerability of our local birds, due to loss of habitat and other factors. We are very fortunate in the Illawarra to have the Barren Grounds Nature Reserve, which has around 180 different species of birds. “I have lately been drawn to painting our local birds, including the endangered and threatened species, such as the very colourful and threatened Rose-Crowned Fruit Dove and Wompoo Fruit Dove. These birds live high in the rainforest canopy so can be difficult to spot. “When I paint these birds I try to capture some of their personality and vulnerability. It’s always a meditational experience for me, as I get totally absorbed in the patterns and design of these beautiful little creatures. Where would we be without birds? They are important to the pollination of our plants and dispersal of seed as well as being nature’s alarm clock and soundtrack.” n Join Ann for the Birds of the Illawarra Watercolour Workshop, November 3 and 4, noon-4pm. Cost is $120, book via Eventbrite. Phone the gallery on 4227 8500 for more details. 2515

DR RIP’S SCIENCE OF THE SURF With Dr Rob Brander.

The drowning at the northern end of Stanwell Park Beach on October 1 was a tragic start to the beach patrol season for everyone involved. Unfortunately, it was also an accident waiting to happen. Any beach is potentially dangerous, but several factors make Stanwell Park challenging. It’s exposed and generally has higher waves, that often seem more powerful than those on other beaches. It has a heavy shore dump and strong backwash off the beach, and it often has a sharp drop-off into a deep gutter where you can quickly find yourself out of your depth. It also usually has several big and strong rips. Then there are the social factors, which Convenor Of Australian Swim Schools Association’s SAFER may be even more important. Swimming Leadership Team, Siria Thomas, offers advice. Stanwell Park is somewhat unique in that it has two lagoons at either end, each with easy beach There are usually many factors that lead to a access. The surf club is towards the southern end drowning, and there are also many layers that you can apply to keep your children safer in and around where there is also public parking, a picnic area, and public toilets. The red and yellow beach flags water. are typically located close to the surf club. But this We’ve all heard about the importance of Supervision, but do you know this means constant isn’t where the crowds go. The northern park is bigger and incredibly eye contact within arms-reach? There is usually no sound when a child slips underwater and begins to popular with day trippers and is also extremely drown, so unless you are watching, you won’t know multi-cultural. Many of the visitors have likely travelled some distance, may not have experienced it’s happening. Barriers are designed to keep children away from surf conditions like those at Stanwell Park and may not have good ocean swimming skills, if any. They water, but they are only as strong as their weakest point. Propped-open gates, loose panels and outdoor may not even be aware of the flags or what they represent. And when they go to the northern end furniture to climb on often lead to drownings. and enter the water, the flags and lifeguards/ Swimming skills matter. In the learn to swim lifesavers are hundreds of metres away. All in all, it’s industry we hear many stories of children who a deadly combination and it doesn’t help that have used the survival skills they have learned in visitor numbers along our coast are exploding. their swimming lessons, to save themselves.

On busy days, they are very vigilant in doing roving patrols at the to the wall and climb out have a better chance of surviving an accidental fall-in than those who have northern end of the beach and sometimes the flags are set up there. But maybe it’s time they got some not learned these skills help. It’s not hard to predict busy beach days: Emergency Planning – if your child is missing weekends and public holidays with great weather. and there is water around, every second counts.
