editorial Welcome to this week’s editorial, This week we learnt that Council has employed brand design specialist, CITIZEN, to work with Council on branding and naming the $70 million Mackay Park pool and theatre:e. The CITIZEN website describes themselves as “a15th strategic Vol 16 September 2017 design consultancy focused on delivering engaging brands and experiences for 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 2018 people and27th places.”

They say “We help bring brands to life through crea@ng memorable brand experiences in built environments – spanning the retail, commercial and public arenas.”

Council have had an issue with the name Batemans Bay Regional Aqua@c, Leisure and Arts Centre from the start – it just doesn’t roll off the tongue.

The name served its purpose though when Council was puFng in for grants. The longwinded name told you where it was and what it was and included the key word “Regional”. But the name just isn’t a winner. The Centre needed to be given a cutesy, more accessible name. An example offered was the Basil Sellers Exhibi@on Centre in Moruya. It is now lovingly called The Bas (pronounced Bazz) , an endearing homage to the fact that Australians love to shorten names.

“I’m off to the Bas”. “Just been to the Bas”. “Love the Bas”.

So now, ably assisted by brand design specialist CITIZEN who have worked with Emirates SkyCargo, Macquarie University, Google and Western Sydney University to name just a few the community has been asked to consider a name for the Mackay Park project.

Councillors, stakeholders and community members a:ended sessions with the consultants earlier this month and showed general support for CITIZEN’s proposed three-@ered approach to branding.

This means one name would iden@fy the precinct as a whole, the aqua@c and arts centres would have their own names, and there would be possibility for further naming of areas such as the theatre, mee@ng rooms, and gallery.

CITIZEN presented a:endees with three op@ons for the overall precinct branding: Bay Pavilions, The Bay Pavilions or Mackay Park Pavilions.

The CITIZEN representa@ve said the name ‘Pavilions’ addressed the mul@-func@on nature of the place and was “aspira@onal and fiFng for an iconic building”.

“Pavilion has been used in a contemporary context across leisure and the arts, examples include ‘Bondi Pavilion’ and ‘The Australian Pavilion’ at the Venice Biennale,” she said.

“The next step in the process is the refinement of the naming and marke@ng approach and the development of visuals, including a logo. In the coming months the community will be invited again to provide feedback on the work.”

One of the pubic invita@on branding sessions was a:ended by beagle weekly : Vol 195 February 19th 2021

editorial five people in all, being one with an interest in the mee@ng rooms, another with pool interests, a member of the Bay Players who admi:ed in having no direct interest in Mackay Park, but a:ended as an interested ci@zen and two state employees from Des@na@on NSW Vol 16 September 15th 2017

Presen@ng were two representa@ves from a consultancy engaged by the council along with Council’s 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 Project Manager.

The Beagle has been advised, of that mee@ng, that the idea was for a first @er name for the whole complex, second @er names for the major components ie theatre, swimming pool and third @er names for individual rooms. Those a:ending were told the lessee of the cafe will have the right to name the cafe as he/she pleases. In addi@on to naming the whole complex as "xxxxx pavilion", as in Bondi Pavilion, the front runner appeared to be Bay Pavilion, although other sugges@ons were made such Yuin Pavilion and Barton Pavilion.

The three locals a:ending indicated they did not think much of Pavilion, nor hub, nor centre with quite a bit of discussion saying the name should reflect that it is in Batemans Bay, or the whole of Eurobodalla. The consultants favoured the former as Batemans Bay has more recogni@on elsewhere than Eurobodalla to which it was counter argued that the name should reflect the whole of the shire.

The discussion raised the idea that the name should be an acronym or be able to be, in good Aussie style, shortened, such as Basil Sellers is known as " the Bas".

There was some hint that naming could be open to a sponsor, but when I asked if that could become say "The ANZ pavilion", the consultants and Project Manager were adamant that it would not be the case.

The laconic sugges@on to just call it Mackay Park, as it was already widely recognised, did not go down well.

So if the name Bay Pavilion is endorsed in the end there is li:le doubt that it will come to be known affec@onately as The Pav. “I’m off to the Pav”. “Just been to the Pav”. “Love the Pav”.

Be sure to let Council know how you feel about the naming of the Mackay Park Centre when it comes up for public consulta@on.

Bushfire DA approvals reach milestone Vol 16 September 15th 2017 rebuild DAs have now been More than 200 7th, bushfire 28 April December 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 approved by Eurobodalla Council, with mul@ple families having moved into their rebuilt homes.

Council received 246 bushfire DAs between 1 January 2020 and 12 February 2021 and approved 203, with an average turnaround of 36.5 days.

A dedicated small team is giving priority to bushfire rebuilds, and Eurobodalla Council’s development services manager Gary Bruce encouraged anyone thinking about rebuilding to give Council a call.

“We’re pleased to see so many rebuilds taking shape and to receive posi@ve feedback from families who have se:led in their new home,” he said.

“We’re also seeing some commercial proper@es rebuilding, such as the Mogo Pain@ng and Po:ery Gallery, Batemans Bay Homemaker Centre and the Malua Bay Bowling Club, which we understand will commence reconstruc@on soon.

“Council is receiving more DAs than ever, and our staff are doing their absolute best absorbing the increased workload.

“We are now however star@ng to see more complex development applica@ons submi:ed – these have taken more @me to prepare and may take longer to assess.

“We strongly encourage people to contact our help desk first on 4474 1231 before submiFng a DA, so we can help ensure applica@ons address the relevant NSW Government legisla@on before they are submi:ed to help reduce the poten@al for delays.”

Mr Bruce said delays could relate to things like whether the property had legal access to a public road, slope of the land, vegeta@on removal and bushfire risk.

“Another issue that pops up regularly is ecology, because even though some of the land may be burnt, NSW Government legisla@on requires Council to assess the land as it was before the fires,” he said.

Council is however con@nuing to liaise with the NSW Planning Department on how to make it easier for people to recover and rebuild post-fires.

“Thankfully due to our strong advocacy we were successful last www.iga.com.au/catalogue year in having some of the planning rules set by the NSW Government relaxed for bushfire rebuilds,” he said.

Mr Bruce said there had been a 39 per cent increase overall in DAs received – due to the increase in sea-changers and people wan@ng to renovate, a stronger-than-ever housing market, confidence in the local economy and bushfire rebuilds.

“While this is very welcome and points to growth in our economy, it has also meant that Council’s development assessment team has been stretched and applica@ons are taking longer than an@cipated,” he said. beagle weekly : Vol 195 February 19th 2021

New Moruya Bypass Bridge Could Be A Statement About Our Community The design of new bridge to be built for the Moruya Bypass Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th,vibrant 2017 culture of the local community, says should reflect Vol 48 27ththe 2018 the Moruya Business Chamber.

The idea is already a:rac@ng strong community support with Moruya Rotary already behind the plan.

Above: Looking at bridge designs…Tim Dalrymple, Moruya Business Chamber President (left) and Chris Manahan, Moruya Rotary President.

Chamber President Tim Dalrymple says there are many bridges around the world that have incorporated low cost design elements to transform them into beau@ful objects.

“I saw a photo of the Dragon Bridge in Da Nang, Vietnam and was amazed how it told a story and linked the bridge to the culture of Vietnam,” he said.

“Moruya’s culture is rich and the chamber believes if our community can work with Transport for NSW early in the design process we can have the new bridge stand out on the highway as a striking statement about the Moruya district.”

Mr Dalrymple said the highway off ramps to Moruya could also link to the design theme selected for the bridge.

“The cost of the bypass will be hundreds of millions of dollars and we hope a frac@on of that can be spent on including features that make it beau@ful and a:ract travellers to call into the town,” he said.

Changed traffic condi3ons at new Nelligen Bridge site Motorists are advised of site establishment work star@ng next week along the Kings Highway for the new Nelligen Bridge. Work will start on Monday 22 February, weather permiFng, and will take place from 7am to 6pm weekdays and 8am to 1pm Saturdays over several weeks to prepare for major construc@on of the new bridge.

Work to be carried out includes building site office compounds and storage areas, and installa@on of temporary fencing and survey work. Other work occurring during this period will include cuFng and filling soT soil areas, installing ground improvement piles at the eastern approach to the new bridge, and building a temporary je:y and rock plaWorm to facilitate river access for construc@on equipment.

Traffic control will be in place for the safety of workers and road users, with the Kings Highway speed limit reduced to 60 km/h in the project area from Old Nelligen Road in the east to Reid Street in the west beagle weekly : Vol 195 February 19th 2021

3x3 basketball makes its return to Eurobodalla With its endorsement as an Olympic sport, 3x3 basketball is finally booming – both here in Australia and around the world. First introduced to the shire at the opening of the outdoor basketball court at Tuross Head October15th 2013 the game saw a short-term level of interest that then waned due to the lack of Vol 16 in September 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017basketball courts.

Eurobodalla Council’s coordinator of recrea@on advised that there have some top-level compe@@on with the pro event on Saturday 20 of February coming to Batemans Bay. “We’ve already locked away Aussie men’s number one Lucas Walker, as well as other ranked players. In the women’s games Abby Cubillo and Alex Delaney from the Canberra Capitals headline the registra@ons.

“It’s perfect weekend entertainment; watch and learn from some of the best in the country.”

Mr Neason said locals wan@ng to try their hand hadn’t been forgo:en, with a weekend of age-group games, ranging from under 12s to under 18s, on Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 February.

“Of course, we welcome spectators for both the professional games and the local carnival,” Mr Neason said.

The 3x3 events form part of a wider Streets as Shared Spaces project, funded by the NSW Government. For more informa@on on the pro event or to sign up an age-group team contact 4474 7438.

Batemans Bay CBD water, sewer upgrade begins

Eurobodalla Council is upgrading infrastructure at Mackay Park as part of a wider project to improve the Batemans Bay CBD’s water and sewer network.

The work forms part of the first stage of an upgrade that will improve sewerage infrastructure capacity and secure the water supply Council contractors will this week begin installing new mains to prepare for the construc@on of a sewerage pump sta@on on the Princes Highway at Mackay Park, as well as a new trunk water main running north along the highway.

Unfortunately about 10 trees will need to be removed along the highway to facilitate the work, due to the depth of the excava@on required, as well as the loca@on of exis@ng underground services, such as NBN, Telstra, and Optus.

A further three exis@ng pump sta@ons from within the CBD will be relocated and upgraded, each with associated underground pipework, with minimal interference to exis@ng services and street-scaping.

The upgrade follows the recommenda@ons of a water and sewer augmenta@on strategy, which Council commissioned in 2019 to cater for growing demand and maximise future development opportuni@es in the Bay CBD.

Mackay Park pool and theatre;e taking shape The new Batemans Bay aqua@c, arts and leisure centre is taking shape at Mackay Park, with work on track despite a run of wet weather throughout summer.

ADCO Construc@ons senior project manager Nick Lyons said the concrete bases to the 25-metre, program and leisure pools had been poured and the team was now working on the pool walls.

“On the theatre side of the building we have completed piling, founda@ons and are working on in-ground services,” he said.

“In March we’ll be moving to the ground slabs, and the next major milestone will be commencing the roof structure, which is scheduled to commence in May. “The roof structure will be a combina@on of steel and @mber, so it requires a lot of planning; a lot of large deliveries and several big cranes on site.”

Designs for the four waterslides in the aqua@c centre have now been finalised – two will land indoors and two will land outdoors.

Illegal gate over Coopers Island Road to remain un3l Cls get report that tells them it is illegal In a16statement issued today (Feb 18th 2021) a spokesperson for Eurobodalla Council said that Councillors Vol September 15th 2017 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 will receive a further briefing next week on the Coopers Island Road issue.

"Local fishers have expressed frustra@on that a landowner has restricted access to the popular fishing and kayaking spot south of Tuross Head.

"Coopers Island Road is a public road that provides access to the waterway and a privately owned farm.

Members of the public can legally fish or launch kayaks from the causeway, provided the area is leT in a clean condi@on and traffic flow is not obstructed. Eurobodalla Council maintains the road, causeway and the bridge.

"The land owner has raised concerns about public use of this area, and ini@al discussions have been held with the owner, as well as local fishers. Progress was delayed, however, as Council’s focus switched to bushfire and flood repairs.

"The land owner has erected new fencing which inhibits public access and parking near the waterway. The loca@on of this fencing and the posi@on of the physical road compared to the public road reserve adds complexity to the ma:er.

"The land owner has indicated they may wish to purchase the road reserve from Council, ci@ng concerns about safety and possible conflict with farming ac@vi@es when members of the public are on the bridge and causeway.

"Discussions con@nue with the land owner to fully understand the issues and determine how their concerns can be allayed while retaining access for the community.

"If required, a report will come to Council for delibera@on late in March. It is hoped a mutually agreeable solu@on can be found."

Logging and thinning of forests can increase fire risk Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Vol 28 December 7th, 2017

Vol 48 April 27th 2018 Logging can make na@ve forests more flammable and lead to greater fire severity for decades, while ‘mechanical thinning’ can also increase fire risk.

These are two of the key findings of an expert review of published scien@fic research

by The Bushfire Recovery Project – a joint project between Griffith University and the Australian Na@onal University to provide the Australian community with a scien@fic understanding of bushfires.

The review used the data and findings of 51 peer-reviewed studies, including those that compared how hot or severe fire burned in different areas during the same fires, to assess the impact logging has on bushfires.

Other key findings include: The key contributor to increased bushfires and resultant damage is climate change Na@ve forest logging increases the severity at which forests burn, beginning roughly 10 years aTer logging and con@nuing at elevated levels for another 30+ years The likelihood of “crown burn” (when the forest canopy is burned) is about 10% in old growth forest versus 70% in forest logged 15 years ago. This drops steeply as the forest con@nues to age, but remains elevated for decades The mechanism is likely that aTer logging removal of the forest canopy means thousands of young trees regrow, crea@ng an increased fuel load. Many of those young trees then die, becoming dry and highly flammable The lack of canopy following logging also results in increased drying of the young plants and soil by the sun and wind, and greater wind speeds on days with extreme fire danger The reviewed studies found ‘mechanical thinning’ does not decrease fire risk. For example, a study on Alpine Ash forest in Victoria showed ‘mechanical thinning’ reduced the surface fuel, however, increased coarse woody debris by 50% and increased the density of saplings tenfold.

Professor Brendan Mackey, Director of the Griffith Climate Ac@on Beacon, said while the key contributor to a greater severity of bushfires was climate change, the science indicated that previously logged forest burned ho:er than unlogged and old growth forest during fires.

“The data shows that forest regrowing aTer logging burned more severely than unlogged forest during Black Saturday 2009,” Professor Mackey said.

Dr Chris Taylor, from ANU’s Fenner School of Environment and Society, noted that the general trend across the scien@fic literature was that forest began to be more flammable eight years aTer logging.

“The rela@onship between the forest having been logged and how severely it burns during a fire is quite clear,” Dr Taylor said.

100 years Ago—26 Feb 2021 Vol 16 September 15th 2017 novel NOVEL SIGHT. –7th, A rather 28 April December Vol 48 27th 20182017

sight was witnessed in the town of Moruya the other day, when quite an army of children were seen, with a variety of vessels, picking blackberries off luxuriant vines growing on a vacant allotment at the corner of Queen and Vulcan Streets, two of our main streets. Passers-by exchanged sugges@ve looks with one another as they walked by.

HOMESTEAD FARM. – Mr. Norman A. Innes, of Tomakin, was the only applicant for the homestead farm of 254 ½ acres, county St. Vincent, parish Broulee, nine miles south-westerly from Moruya.

OPERATION. – Li:le George, youngest son of Mrs. A. Arne:, of Gundary, who severely cut his knee with a piece of broken glass in the school ground was taken to the Children’s Hospital at Camperdown on the 18th. Blood poisoning supervened and the child was operated upon.

OBITUARY. – The death of Mrs. Michael Stormon, senr., at 83 years, removes from our midst one of the best-known and most respected ladies, and one who has been connected with this district for nearly threequarter of a century. Born at Tipperary (Ireland) in 1838, the deceased, with her brother, the late Mr. John Corbe:, came to Mullenderree when a girl of 14, and for 12 years lived with her aunt, the late Mrs. Honora Cummins, whose home she leT to marry Mr. Michael Stormon. ATer her marriage she went to Eurobodalla, where she resided up to the @me of her demise. During all her years from her marriage to her death Eurobodalla House was noted for the generous and unostenta@ous hospitality of the Stormon family. Its doors were always open to travellers, and no one, rich or poor, was ever refused a bed or a meal. Of a quiet and generous disposi@on, the late Mrs. Stormon was a fine example of Catholic piety and devo@on, and was one of those excellent type of wife and mother of whom this young country owes so much. Although not a robust woman, Mrs. Stormon had enjoyed splendid health un@l a few years ago, when she had a serious illness ; but since then she was able to get about, and apparently in her usual health. About eight days before her demise she was compelled to take to her bed through having contracted an a:ack of pneumonia, and she passed away at her home at Eurobodalla on Friday, 18th inst.

Fourteen children were born of the marriage, including twin boys and twin girls. Beside the sorrowing widower, deceased leaves to mourn their irreparable loss, six sons and seven daughters, viz.; Messrs.

Michael (Eurobodalla), Bartholomew (Sydney), Edward (Sydney), John (Uki), Igna@ous (Eurobodalla), William (Sydney), Mrs. D. Coman (Toowoomba, Q.), Mrs. H. Shuback (Sydney), Mrs. Tom Hartneady (Larbert), Miss Mary Stormon (Hong Kong), Mrs. Moffa: (Melbourne), Mrs. G. P. La:y (Sydney) and Mrs. Hugh McGrade (Sydney), to all of whom the “Examiner” tenders deepest sympathy. The remains were brought to Moruya, the internment taking place in the R.C. por@on of the cemetery on Sunday, the Rev. Father McCormack performing the last rights. beagle weekly : Vol 195 February 19th 2021

A beer with Baz #5 by John Longhurst Bazza folded his newspaper, put it to one side, shook his head and looked up to see Mick approaching.

‘G’day Mick. Got15th you2017 a beer. Bloody papers s@ll full of Donald Trump. Riots, impeachment and Vol 16 September 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 recrimina@ons. I thought it was all over last November but it’s s@ll going on. You know, I reckon I’ve had a headache for four years and I should send that bloke a bill for the Panadol.’

Mick smiled ‘I told you before Bazza, you should get off those newspapers and get your news from social media. Social media feeds you what you are interested in so there’s no stress in keeping up to date. There is a whole side to Donald Trump that you are missing out on. The mainstream media just doesn’t give the full picture. I get links all the @me on social media that just puts the real informa@on in front of me. No headaches over here, Baz.’ They both took a long sip of their beers.

‘Don’t know about that Mick. I just don’t get those Americans. Take universal health care. We’ve got it and I don’t reckon there are too many Australians who want to get rid of it. It’s not perfect and needs more resources but it’s good to know you are not going to get whacked with a big bill if you get crook. I just don’t get why Trump wanted to dismantle whatever universal health scheme Obama put in place and people aren’t outraged. It just does my head in.’

They both stared into their beers before taking another sip.

‘I’m with you on that one Baz. Doesn’t add up to me either but I reckon he was on the money with the building of that wall to keep the illegal immigrants out. Over here, we have kept them out by turning back the boats. It’s worked a bloody treat for us so good on Donald for building a wall.’

Mick rewarded himself with a generous drink.

Bazza scratched his nose ‘Yep, the wall is a good thing. In fact they should make it bigger and electrify it to make sure it works.’

Mick frothed slightly at the mouth and leaned forward.

‘Geez Bazza, that’s geFng a bit extreme but it’s good to see you are coming round to my way of thinking.’

Bazza raised an eyebrow and leaned back.

‘Yep, we all need a bloody good wall to stop Donald Trump from geFng out.’

Mick splu:ered into his beer.

Women Hold Up Half The Sky

By Jackson Katz Vol 16ask September 15th 2017 Men why women are so pissed off, even guys 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 with wives and daughters. Jackson Katz, a prominent social researcher, illustrates why.

He's done it with hundreds of audiences: "I draw a line down the middle of a chalkboard, sketching a male symbol on one side and a female symbol on the other.

Then I ask just the men: What steps do you guys take, on a daily basis, to prevent yourselves from being sexually assaulted?

At first there is a kind of awkward silence as the men try to figure out if they've been asked a trick ques@on. The silence gives way to a sma:ering of nervous laughter. Occasionally, a young a guy will raise his hand and say, 'I stay out of prison.'

This is typically followed by another moment of laughter, before someone finally raises his hand and soberly states, 'Nothing. I don't think about it.'

Then I ask the women the same ques@on. What steps do you take on a daily basis to prevent yourselves from being sexually assaulted? Women throughout the audience immediately start raising their hands. As the men sit in stunned silence, the women recount safety precau@ons they take as part of their daily rou@ne.

Hold my keys as a poten@al weapon. Look in the back seat of the car before geFng in. Carry a cell phone.

Don't go jogging at night. Lock all the windows when I sleep, even on hot summer nights. Be careful not to drink too much. Don't put my drink down and come back to it; make sure I see it being poured. Own a big dog. Carry Mace or pepper spray. Have an unlisted phone number. Have a man's voice on my answering machine. Park in well-lit areas. Don't use parking garages. Don't get on elevators with only one man, or with a group of men. Vary my route home from work. Watch what I wear. Don't use highway rest areas. Use a home alarm system. Don't wear headphones when jogging. Avoid forests or wooded areas, even in the day@me. Don't take a first-floor apartment. Go out in groups. Own a firearm. Meet men on first dates in public places. Make sure to have a car or cab fare. Don't make eye contact with men on the street. Make asser@ve eye contact with men on the street.”

To mark a week of ac@on by independent cinemas to draw a:en@on to the dire situa@on faced by the sector, Member for Gilmore, Fiona Phillips MP has been visi@ng cinemas across the South Coast to hear their stories.

“The independent cinemas sector is an industry that has been largely been ignored by the government during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Mrs Phillips said.

Fiona Phillips met with the owner of the Huskisson Pictures and Inlet Cinema along with the owners of the Arcadia Cinema in Ulladulla and the Perry Street Cinemas in Batemans Bay. “All our independent cinemas are beloved in our communi@es – they create jobs and tourism at the same @me as being popular, affordable local a:rac@ons. They deserve to be heard by the Morrison Government.

Independent cinemas are a vital part of the screen ecosystem, helping Australian stories reach the regional communi@es like those on the South Coast.

“Many local independent cinemas have told me they are in danger of going under if they do not receive ongoing support beyond the JobKeeper cliff at the end of March. But where is the government’s plan to stop this from happening? Sco: Morrison cannot ignore this sector and its pleas for help.

“Full Circle” is a new body of work bringing together elements and images of Frances’ originals from the past forty years, recomposed, and reconstructed. Characters from dreams and memories, etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, monoprints and linocuts, they all come together now to tell new stories and adventures arriving at a des@na@on both sublime and whimsical.

Frances' first influences came from her father George Luke, Melbourne sculptor and painter, also years of a:ending classes with Mervin Moriarty in the 1970s. She then a:ended Beaufort College in London from 1980 and many years of travel and study, including Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts.

During forty years of printmaking and pain@ng Frances has produced exhibi@ons around the world and Australia. She won the Basil Sellers Art Prize in 2012.

Ngaranggal Muruda (Women’s footprints) at the Bas Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Volunique 48 27th 2018 A collec@on of art by female Aboriginal ar@sts

from around Australia will be on show at the Bas this month, and it’s not what you might expect.

Ngaranggal Muruda (Women’s footprints), features works specially curated for the Bas from the private art collec@on of Chris@ne Kennedy, of Horse Island.

Eurobodalla Council’s crea@ve arts coordinator Indi Carmichael said the mixed-media exhibi@on celebrated the strength and diversity of Aboriginal expression and culture.

“Quite oTen when we think of Aboriginal art we think desert - we forget Australia has snowy mountains, and rivers and rainforest - and of course the art reflects the country’s diversity,” she said.

“This special collec@on really shows off the breadth of talent and range of materials, colours and textures Aboriginal art has to offer.”

There are names locals may be familiar with, including Eurobodalla’s own Cheryl Davison, while others are lesser-known. Beau@ful storytelling, and connec@on to ancestry and Country, are things they all have in common.

Above: Cheryl Davison’s Un+tled (acrylic on co=on), gives a local context to Ngaranggal Muruda (Women’s footprints), on show at the Bas 20 February to 28 March.

“There are beau@ful large-scale pieces, as well as smaller pieces and those u@lising a range of materials – from bark and weaving to an exquisite sculptural echidna with quills,” Ms Carmichael said.

“People will be surprised and delighted by the diversity.”

Ngaranggal Muruda (Women’s footprints) opens at the Bas Friday 19 February, 5.30-7.30pm, con@nuing during opening hours un@l Sunday 28 March.

A panel discussion will be held Saturday 20 February, 11am to 12pm, as part of the public program.

The Bas is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm, at the corner of Vulcan and Campbell Streets, Moruya.

Your UP TO DATE Fishing report courtesy of Tackle World Moruya Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Moruya River.

28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

With a mostly fine week and minimal rains, the river is again star@ng to improve this week. The lower sec@ons of the river have predominantly been the be:er producers, with reasonable numbers of bream, flathead, trevally and the odd whi@ng turning up to keep anglers entertained. Again the areas around Preddy’s wharf, the northern Airport flats, and in behind hole in the wall producing the most fish.

The nipper beds around Garlandtown con@nue to be hard work, as the nipper popula@on recovers from being very heavily worked, over the Xmas period. Further upstream, around the bridge, there has been an improvement in the numbers of bream, flathead and the odd estuary perch aTer dark showing up.

Tuross river.

The flathead con@nue to the major prize this week, with s@ll good numbers of good sized fish being caught towards the front of the system. The areas around the main boat ramp and the potato point flats have seen the majority of the ac@on, with areas further up stream as high as four ways, s@ll producing good numbers of bream, flathead and the odd whi@ng. The reports from up around the Bodalla bridge are not so good, as there seems to s@ll be a good amount of fresh that far up.

Rock and beach.

The are s@ll good numbers of salmon, bream and whi@ng to be found on all the main beaches this week.

Not to men@on a good number of banjo and shovel nose sharks, as a buddy of mine and I discovered last Sunday whilst drone fishing. We managed a couple of salmon that will be turned into shark baits for a future drone trip. This style of fishing certainly opens up new areas to fish, as distance is only limited to spool capacity and flight @mes.

The Moruya breakwall con@nues to see good numbers of salmon, trevally, bream and the odd flathead coming up onto the wall for anglers. Pilchards on gang hooks, strips of mullet fillets or metals cast and retrieved are all good ways to share a few fish.

Offshore.

There have been good numbers of flathead in the 30-40m mark this week, with snapper holding a bit further out as the warm currents con@nue to really push down the coast.

Further out wide the run of Marlin con@nues with games crews geFng into a few good fish.

If you have been wai@ng for the re-release of the ever popular Daiwa Presso Rollin Crank bream lures, we’ll wait no longer! As we know have the complete colour and size range in store. Come in and check them out today, they are now under the Daiwa Infeet Rollin Crank banner, and have been selling well this week.

Stay safe everyone, and remember “every days a good day for fishing...”

Team Tackle World Moruya.
