editorial Welcome to this week’s editorial, That scurrilous, rapscallion “rag of a blog” that is enjoyed by many, and loathed by a few, turns five this week. Vol 16 September 15th 2017 The website started out in October 2017 with its first ar9cles and was officially launched on 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol Beagle 48 27th 2018 November 1st 2017.

Since then I have published 17,900 ar9cles on the website and moderated 91,497 comments. You might have no9ced that this is Vol number 230 of the Beagle Weekender. That means that every single Friday for the past 230 weeks, without fail, an edi9on of the Beagle Weekender has been emailed to subscribers, like yourself, for their weekend enjoyment. You may have no9ced over the past five years that The Beagle (me) rarely takes a break and if there is important news to convey over the weekend such as fires, accidents or events then they are covered. The bushfires were covered for seventy one days in a row. From morning to night. The Covid stuff was covered for those who needed to be kept informed at a local level and our wonderful Council with all their shenanigans, less than ordinary mee9ngs, and embarrassing stuff ups have been in the spotlight, much to their chagrin, for the past five years bring us disbelief, incredulity, lament and a good belly laugh at their an9cs. The past five years have seen this “rag of a blog” become the primary news source for the Eurobodalla. The Beagle now has a world wide following and its readership s9ll grows as more and more of our residents, past residents, future residents, ratepayers, non-resident ratepayers and anyone else interested in the region discover the free online news. The Beagle isn’t just news though. It is also the weekly Beagle Abode real estate guide that is now the region’s most comprehensive real estate lis9ng offering our many independent real estate agents an affordable means to promote their market. The Beagle is also the publisher of the South Coast Travel Guide which is the most comprehensive tourism website for the Eurobodalla on the internet. The Beagle is a community focused endeavour. Many of the ar9cles you enjoy are submissions from locals who want to celebrate the accomplishments of their sports or clubs. They want to promote what they are doing, to share and include. Then there are the publicity officers who want to inform. From local agencies and organisa9ons to State and Federal—everyone wants to be recognised and heard. It is important to thank everyone who plays a part in keeping The Beagle afloat and alive. Thanks to the contributors, the whistle blowers, and those who love to make comment on ar9cles. Thanks also to the adver9sers who support independent news. And thank you to the community for their support via dona9ons and ‘Buying a Coffee’. All of the monies donated go directly towards covering the considerable costs of keeping The Beagle afloat. Onwards to the next year Un9l next - lei beagle weekly : Vol 229 October 15th 2021

community The Batemans Bay Chamber of Commerce have installed a sign at the boGom of the Clyde that says 'Welcome Back Canberra'. In a16report by 2EC Vol September 15thNew 2017President of the 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 Batemans Bay Chamber of Commerce, David Maclachlan, said visitors from Canberra are extremely important to the Eurobodalla economy. “The sign is a nod to the video created by JJs at the Marina aKer the bushfires when the highway was reopened, the Chamber said. “The message is to show Canberrans how much Batemans Bay and the Eurobodalla appreciate them coming to town and suppor9ng local business. "We've done this sign as a part of a mini campaign for visit Batemans Bay and it acknowledges the sen9ment and the connec9on between Canberra and the coast," Mr Maclachlan said. "Lockdown has finished in Canberra, people are coming down on a Friday aKernoon, what beGer place to be," he said. "People in Canberra love what we've got to offer down here and the natural aGrac9ons, they love whale watching, fishing, snorkeling with the seals, the cheese factory, Mogo, everything."

SHASA supports 30km speed limits in Moruya shopping area 20 October 2021: The Southcoast Health and Sustainability Alliance (SHASA) congratulates the NSW Government on its decision to reduce speed limits from 50km/hour to 30km/hour on Shore Street and Ford Street in Moruya town centre. This will make it significantly safer for pedestrians and cyclists. SHASA President Kathryn Maxwell says: “Reducing the speed limit to 30km will make these streets safer for all users. Importantly it removes a major barrier to people walking or cycling and results in environmental improvements such as less air and noise pollu9on and safer, healthier living spaces.” Ms Maxwell says the Australian Heart Founda9on finds pedestrians and cyclists struck by a motor vehicle travelling at 50 km/hour have about an 85 percent chance of being killed, while at 30 km/hour this drops to 10 percent. “In the near future SHASA would like to see the 30km/hour speed limit extended to other streets in the shopping area including Queen, Page and Church streets, as well as to shopping districts across the Eurobodalla,” Ms Maxwell said. beagle weekly : Vol 229 October 15th 2021

Andrew Constance MP posts : Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

In the coming month in NSW Parliament, there will be a debate on whether to legislate voluntary assisted dying – which would allow terminally ill people to end their life. The bill would allow people who are in the last stages of a terminal illness and whose pain and suffering has become unbearable, to get help to end their life peacefully and with dignity.

NSW is the only state in Australia that is yet to legislate for voluntary assisted dying. That means we’ve been able to learn from every other jurisdic9on, to make sure that we have the strongest safeguards to ensure the person has the capacity to make and understand the consequences of such a decision, and that they are ac9ng voluntarily and without pressure or duress. I know that this is a difficult issue and that it will evoke a range of emo9ons and views from across the Bega electorate. I have my own experiences and views that have shaped my posi9on on this, but I am interested in hearing from you. Please fill out my survey here: hGps://forms.gle/2Fg56LK5prA9vmyf9

55 Per Cent Of "Regional" Grants Went To The Ci5es Analysis released by the Australian Na9onal Audit Office has revealed that 55 per cent of all "regional" grants announced by the Morrison-Joyce Government since 2018 have gone to projects located in the major ci9es. Member for Eden-Monaro Kristy McBain said this was another blow for regional areas that had to deal with so much during this 9me. “It is frustra9ng to see that 3,682 ‘regional’ grants went to major ci9es, compared to only 309 projects in areas classified as ‘remote’ or ‘very remote’,” Ms McBain said. “The fact is these grants are targeted at regional areas for a reason. The money and support should be flowing to regional communi9es like Adelong, Cooma, Braidwood and Bombala – not to Surry Hills. The Morrison-Joyce Government talks a big game when it comes to regional development, but it’s clear to me that they con9nually favour projects based in the major ci9es – and this report proves it. Regional areas can’t con9nue to be leK behind, this government needs to actually invest in them. “The ANAO analysis also found that more than 40 per cent of all government grants awarded since 2018 were granted through a ‘closed non-compe99ve process’. “One of those closed round tenders resulted in $10million of regional and remote funding going to the North Sydney Pool. The city project was put first despite pools across this region desperately needing upgrades which we’ve seen this through recent grant applica9ons for Bega, Batlow and Khancoban pools.” The revela9ons from the ANAO follow hot on the heels of new analysis revealing that roughly 90 per cent of Building BeGer Regions Round 5 grants went to Coali9on held or targeted seats and that Coali9on backbenchers were given the opportunity to lobby for projects that didn't meet the funding criteria. “I would have loved to have been able to advocate for projects in Eden-Monaro because I know there are so many worthy projects here – but I wasn’t given this same opportunity,” Ms McBain said. beagle weekly : Vol 229 October 15th 2021

Swap weeds for local plants to grow the perfect plot Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

There’s a lot of uncertainty in the world right now but one thing that is for certain – it’s a great 9me of year to get out in the garden. High seasonal rainfall has been great for garden plants and lawns, but it’s also given rise to more than your usual allotment of weeds. At least the wet means they’re easy to pull out. Removing weeds can be vital in protec9ng our landscape – stopping their spread into nearby bushland and along precious waterways. Once weeds get established in the bush they oKen outcompete na9ve plants, impac9ng the habitat of na9ve animals. If you’re not sure if a new plant that has sprung up is a weed or not, get in touch with Council’s natural resources officer Lily Berry. Simply email her a photo and she’ll get back to you with an iden9fica9on. Lily will also swap your bag of weeds for some local na9ve seedlings – all done through contactless drop-off. Plan9ng extra na9ve plants that suit your area keeps your garden wildlife friendly; a place where na9ve birds, frogs, bees and buGerflies can thrive. Contact Lily by email at lily.berry@esc.nsw.gov.au Council hopes to return to its usual plant-swap and garden-visit programs in December.

Pa5ence urged as Eurobodalla businesses navigate new era Pa9ence and kindness is crucial as Eurobodalla businesses navigate an uncertain way forward under the NSW 15th Government’s roadmap. Vol 16 September 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

As they grapple with the prospect of policing customers’ vaccina9on status, check-ins, masks and sani9sa9on on top of their usual opera9ons, many local business owners – while pleased the shire is reopening – are cau9ous. Eurobodalla’s Council’s economic development manager Teresa Lever said there were some concerns from business owners about ensuring a safe work environment for their staff. Above: Council’s economic development “Everyone is looking forward to being open, however we need manager Teresa Lever says businesses are visitors and the community to be respec\ul of the rules,” she doing an incredible job adap!ng to Covid rules and regula!ons. said. “With the state in lockdown for so long, we’re also an9cipa9ng a busy summer and want to ensure everyone has a great experience.” A strange alignment of extraordinary circumstances had, un9l recently, buoyed Eurobodalla’s economy. Now, for the first 9me in 13 months, data is reflec9ng Covid impacts. “Over the past year-and-a-half we’ve seen bushfire recovery funding, economic s9mulus and public investment flow into the shire,” Ms Lever said. “In June 2021 however, we saw a 9.4 per cent drop in Eurobodalla’s expenditure when compared to June 2020. This was aGributed to an 18% drop in visitor spending, as well as a 28 per cent increase in locals buying elsewhere. “We’re yet to receive July and August figures and it is of concern how online purchasing will trend.” Ms Lever said retail and food services had been hit hard by the lockdown. This is especially significant for Batemans Bay, where 30 per cent of employed people work across these two sectors,” she said. “Thankfully it isn’t all doom and gloom though – some businesses are s9ll performing well. The construc9on and trades sector for example is kicking goals with things like home improvements. “There is no simple message around business confidence – it is complex.” Eurobodalla Council’s economic development team has been linking local businesses with available support and working with new businesses looking into coming into the area. The council is also focused on addressing a key finding from its recent business confidence survey that only 52 per cent of respondents had a con9nuity plan to manage disrup9on to their business. If Ms Lever could give one message to local businesses, it would be to take advantage of the available support if needed. “We’re all in this together,” she said. “This is an unprecedented 9me for all of us and businesses in par9cular are having to change how they’re doing things – and they’re doing a fantas9c job.” beagle weekly : Vol 229 October 15th 2021

Turnbulls Lane Subdivision—Moruya Mail report: Residents of Turnbulls Lane, Moruya are concerned about the 99 Lot Subdivision (DA 0632/2020), proposed for Lot 6, a 15.9 Ha block which is Zoned R2. Vol 16 September 15th 2017

Acknowledging that2017 there is a desperate need for new housing on the south coast, the residents are 28 April December 7th, Vol 48 27th 2018 concerned that the design of the subdivision will have a severe impact on the EEC (Endangered Environmental Community) which runs alongside the narrow gravel laneway. The proposed Street plan shows eight lots that would front Turnbulls Lane. With driveways to five of these proper9es, most of the EEC classified trees lining the narrow Lane would, therefore, have to go. The residents would like to see the subdivision set back from the road (and trees) with a maximum of two street entrances, similar to the Braemar Estate on South Head Road. This would allow for the reten9on of the trees, and preserve the rural ambience of the laneway, which is a much used walking and cycling track and lessen the issues of private driveways crossing a highly pedestrianized laneway. Resident David Aitken says “The site is located within a rural seZng surrounded on three sides by grazing and grassy woodlands and fronts onto a tree lined country laneway and pastures. As all of the surrounding proper9es are zoned Environmental Living E4 and have been all iden9fied within the Southern Grassy Woodlands, a Cri9cally Endangered Environmental Community, it is highly unlikely that these proper9es will ever be rezoned for similar housing purposes. Thus a proposed massing of small lot housing fron9ng onto Turnbulls Lane and one that adjoins small lot rural proper9es cannot ever be consistent to this unique neighbourhood.” Mr Aitken says “The proposal does not sa9sfy the objec9ves of the Moruya Township Development Control Plan, which seeks to retain and further develop a rural town style.” “The subject area also contains many granite rocks in an area iden9fied as Brae 10, which contains the highest numbers of First Na9ons artefacts so far uncovered by the Cultural Heritage Consultants” says Mr Aitken. The DA is scheduled to be discussed at the Eurobodalla Shire Council mee9ng on Tuesday 26th October from 11am

real estate South Coast Property Specialists (Carlene Franzen) Tips #1067:

NBN Boxes: Should You Leave or Take them With You? When you sell your property both par9es will agree on which items at the property are “inclusions” or

Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 inclusions are quite obvious and look something like this on the contract for sale: Vol 48 27th 2018 “exclusions”. Generally,

Some9mes, when holiday homes are sold, the inclusions may also include a full inventory list of furniture, white-goods and beds etc. As you can see from the above check list, these are the current standard items that people expect to see in most proper9es. But as new technologies come along such as the NBN you can expect to see this standard list be added to (although as you can see above NBN equipment has not yet been included). Problems are currently arising when sellers (vendors) or tenants have taken the NBN boxes with them when they leave or vacate a property. NBN boxes must be treated as a permanent fixture of the home. Generally, they look like this:

Missing NBN boxes are costly to replace and cause delays in geZng the NBN (internet and phone services) reconnected to the property. So, it is important that both agents and property managers confirm if NBN infrastructure exists and that is included on the documenta9on that is forwarded to the solicitors/ conveyancers. If you are purchasing a property, keep an eye out if the NBN is installed so that you can double check that it appears on the contract for sale and also check that it is s9ll installed at your pre-seGlement inspec9on.

Gadfly 200 By Robert Macklin The announcement that Canberra is to have its own Holocaust Museum raises some fundamental questions about Australia’s own Aboriginal history. Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 reserved for the barbarity that Adolf Hitler and his accomplices visited upon Vol 48 27th 2018 ‘Holocaust’ is now a label

Europe’s Jewish people in World War II. It was made the more shocking by its concentration over half a decade in the obscenity of Auschwitz and the other death factories. Yet the fate of Australia’s Aboriginal people differs only in the period and the location of its execution. It took much longer, and its settings were scattered over a continent bigger than Europe. Its instruments were diverse – guns, poison, dispossession, degradation and disease. The result was the same. There is a singular connection: when the Nazis in November 1938 attacked Jewish homes, businesses and synagogues on ‘Kristallnacht’, the night of broken glass that signalled the start of the horror, Australian officialdom was silent. But William Cooper, a Yorta Yorta man from the Murray Valley, leader of the Australian Aborigines League, took a letter of protest and condemnation to the German Consulate in Melbourne. They refused to receive it. There is also a disconnect: in the wake of the Nazi atrocity, the Germans of a new generation had the courage to own the actions of their forebears, to confess and crave forgiveness, to pay reparations of the exchequer and the spirit. Not so the Australian colonisers. Behind the scenes, however, a Jewish Rabbi, Avraham Schwarz has made it his life’s work to educate Australia’s Jewish community about William Cooper and indigenous issues since the 1990s. He established the William Cooper Legacy Project with Cooper’s oldest surviving grandchild, “Uncle” Boydie Cooper. He persuaded German Chancellor to be, Angela Merkel to accept William’s 1938 protest in 1983. And the new Holocaust Museum in Perth will feature a huge image of William Cooper on its façade. Yet as the centuries pass, the Aboriginal people are still waiting for Australian governments to emulate the German response. Along the way, a cohort of Australians, black and white, have raised their hands and their voices to officialdom, arguing, pleading and demanding the natural justice that we codify in our unofficial national canon as the ‘fair go’. The latest cry for justice, the Uluru Statement from the Heart, is the most powerful yet articulated. It resounds from an Aboriginal gathering – the aroused and re-energised survivors of their holocaust – demanding a Voice in policies affecting the land their ancestors tended for 60,000 years; a Truth-telling of the realities of the occupiers’ attempted ethnocide; and a Treaty that lays down the conditions for a future that will finally ‘close the gap’ in status, wealth and power between themselves and the colonisers of 1788. The response of successive Australian Governments has been either symbolic – Paul Keating’s Redfern Speech and Kevin Rudd’s apology to the stolen generations – or niggardly. ‘Closing the gap’ between the original Australians and the health and wealth of their white compatriots began as an aspiration; it remains as a plaintive echo of systemic failure. Perhaps Canberra’s Holocaust Museum will play a part in turning the national tide. William Cooper’s long journey to the German Consulate would not have been in vain. www.robertmacklin.com beagle weekly : Vol 229 October 15th 2021

A person cannot pick wild flowers on private land except with the permission of the Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017will be provided for certain wild flowers. Vol 48 27th 2018 owner. A close season SALMA GUNDY TEA. – Ar9s9cally decorated with roses were the spacious rooms of “Eversley,” the residence of Mrs. John EmmoG, on Tuesday, when a merry 9me was had at a Salma Gundy aKernoon tea. The charming hostess, Mrs. Gregg, assisted by Mrs. G. A. Sanders, her co-partner in the toy stall at the forthcoming C.E. Bazaar, for which purpose the stall was held, dispensed the dain9est of dainty refreshments to the large number of guests present. Miss Tranent was the lucky winner of a dainty prize given for the Salma Gundy compe99on, with her cousin, Mrs. E. Hawdon, second. TILBA TILBA water supply, drawn from the springs of Mt. Dromedary, has a pressure of 80lbs. to the square inch. 2000K. of new piping has just been installed, and there are now available 40,000 gallons daily. The banns of marriage of Mr. G. Bishop, of Glenduart, Moruya, and Miss Merle Hutchinson, of Sydney, were read in the Sacred Heart Church on Sunday. SUCCESSFUL OPERATION. – We are very pleased to report that Mr. ‘Jack’ Skehan, of Mullenderree, who was operated on at Lewishham Hospital last week for an affec9on of the throat, and whose life for a 9me was despaired of, is now improving. MOGO. – (From our Correspondent). It is with great regret that I have to report the death of Mr. M. Maloney. That dreaded pneumonia did its deadly work, and despite unfailing medical aid and careful nursing our friend passed away on Friday evening. The funeral service was performed in the local cemetery on Saturday aKernoon, the Rev. Father McCormack officia9ng at the graveside. Mr. Mac Maloney, brother of the deceased, is also suffering from the same complaint, and at 9mes grave fears were entertained for his recovery. Happily, now he seems to be on the highroad to health. Sincere sympathy is felt for the mother, Mrs. Maloney, and family, and it is tragic that all these people are visitors to Mogo, and that on arrival the two sons should have been smiGen down. Deceased came down from Sydney to see his sick brother and at once contracted the fell disease. It is to be earnestly hoped that this severe influx of contagious malady, which has so terribly visited us, will pass off, but residents are asked to see that all sanitary arrangements are sa9sfactory – the Shire Council would do well to inves9gate the maGer. In consequence of the above death the cricket match, arranged to have been contested between Mogo and Bateman’s Bay on Saturday was postponed.

Reading - Moruya Books From awardwinning musician and composer Warren Ellis comes the unexpected and inspiring story of a piece of chewing gum. Featuring an introduc5on from Nick Cave.

Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

"Warren has turned this memento, snatched from his idol's piano in a moment of rapture, into a genuine religious artefact." - Nick Cave On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave's Meltdown Fes9val. AKer the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone's piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his crea9ve muse, growing in significance with every passing year. In 2019, Cave - his collaborator and great friend - asked Warren if there was anything he could contribute to display in his Stranger Than Kindness exhibi9on. Warren realized the 9me had come to release the gum. Together they agreed it should be housed in a glass case like a holy relic. Worrying the gum would be damaged or lost, Warren decided to first have it cast in silver and gold, sparking a chain of events that no one could have predicted, one that would take him back to his childhood and his rela9onship to found objects. Nina Simone's Gum is about how something so small can form beau9ful connec9ons between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebra9on of ar9s9c process, friendship, understanding and love. About the Author Warren Ellis is an Australian mul9-instrumentalist and composer, most famous for his work as collaborator and bandmate of Nick Cave, in both the Bad Seeds and Grinderman. Both solo and alongside Nick he is also a mul9-award-winning film composer whose soundtracks include The Proposi!on, The Road, The Assassina!on of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Mustang and most recently This Train I Ride. His own band Dirty Three have released eight studio albums since 1994 and he is an in-demand producer and writer, working with ar9sts including Marianne Faithful, Jupiter and Okwess and Tinariwen.

Reading—A beer with Baz “Thanks for the beer, Mick. There’s a bloody lot going on in the world and it’s a case of where to start. We could run a pub test on Glasgow, the ICAC Inquiry into Gladys or even the disclosure of dona9ons with Chris9an Porter.” Vol 16 September 15th 2017

“Bugger all 27th that,2018 Bazza. 28 April December 7th, 2017Did you hear about Russell’s missing lawn Vol 48 mower?” Bazza sighed and they both took a good drink. “You are the man to see about all the gossip in the village, Mick. Our Russell is very par9cular about his front lawn. In fact, he turned up at my place on Saturday with pen and pad to let me know it went missing right out the front of his place. As he does, he was fas9diously mowing the lawn on his side of the footpath. He turned the mower off to empty the grass catcher and when he got back it was gone. I got a bit annoyed when he put me through the third degree with some assump9on I needed a lawn mower. I don’t think my goat in the front yard was too impressed either with the slur on the state of my lawn, so I withdrew the offer to lend it to him. Anyhow, lets move on…” “No, No Bazza, you have only got half the story. It’s the biggest crime at Russell’s place since the mystery of the water boGles on his front lawn three years ago.” Bazza 9lted his head back slightly. “You didn’t hear about that? Russell woke up one morning and there was a boGle of water on his immaculate front lawn. He didn’t think that much of it and disposed of it quick smart. Next morning same thing, same spot. Typical Russel, he checks with Neighbourhood Watch, but it is only him being targeted. Three days later, the same thing happens, a boGle of water leK in the same place, on his lawn, in the morning.” Bazza shook his head and took a drink. “Well, Russell decides to stake out his front lawn. He sets up a chair in his front room, to watch all night. He nods off about 3.00am and then wakes to find another boGle of water at 7.00am. By this stage, it is totally doing his head in. He even takes the boGle down to the police sta9on for finger prin9ng and to report harassment by an unknown felon.” Mick took a long drink and leaned forward with open arms. “Well….. the local constabulary were not about to refer it to the Serious Crime Squad so Russell sets himself up, behind his wheelie bins, for an all night vigil. At 3.30am he jumps out and shines a torch on a woman in her nigh9e placing the boGle of water on his lawn. It turns out to be the sister of Cheryl from the top of the street, who was visi9ng. Apparently, she is a chronic sleep walker, down to the point of grabbing a boGle of water, and heading out the front door.” They both enjoyed a good belly laugh. “But back to the missing lawn mower, Bazza. AKer interviewing the whole street about their movements, and observa9ons, between the hours of 9.00am and 10.00am last Saturday, Russell s9ll can’t solve the mystery. Anyhow, he goes and buys a new lawn mower on Monday.” “Thank goodness for that, Mick. Russel without a lawn mower is more than I can bear.” “Ah yeah, Bazza, but the best bit is on Thursday night, a bloke knocks on his door, and asks him if there is a grass catcher to go with the lawn mower he put out on the street last Saturday.” Have a beer with Baz at john.longhurst59@gmail.com

Save Turnbulls Lane As Eurobodalla residents, we value the charm of Moruya township with its compact riverside centre in a rural landscape seZng Vol 16 September 15th 2017 and appreciate 28greatly December 7th, 2017 the protec9on Vol 48 April 27th 2018 measures that have been established in past years to retain the character of the town and landscape. Indeed parts of our own 5 acres of land are EEC protected. As Eurobodalla Council is considering the Turnbulls Lane proposed 99 lot subdivision at the Council mee9ng on 26 October 2021, when Councillor Anthony Mayne is puZng forward Ques9ons on No9ce, I want to stress to Councillors a serious concern about the subdivision proposal - the impact on Turnbulls Lane. Due to its landscape character, this rural lane has become a popular recrea9on route for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. Along the southern nature strip, there are many na9ve trees including forest red gums and na9ve cherries, typically found in the Endangered Ecological Community of which it is a part. Many of these trees would disappear, if the development goes ahead as currently proposed, as the only access to houses fron9ng onto the lane would mean trees would have to be removed to make way for 5 separate driveways. I kindly ask you to consider encouraging the Applicant to modify the development by seZng aside that part of the residen9al development fron9ng Turnbulls Lane so that this par9cular area of land, which includes many endemic species, can remain, along with, at least, some of the many beau9ful granite outcrops and ancient apple gums that could be of major Aboriginal cultural significance that exist on this 17 ha area of land. The Braemar Estate developers managed to avoid any of its housing lots or individual driveways from fron9ng onto South Head Road and this much larger development could be designed to do the same for the sake of saving Turnbulls Lane. We accept that Moruya is growing and that developments are necessary. However we would ask Council to consider the impact that this development will have on the laneway , the trees , the EEC , and a wellused recrea9onal facility. This development will be the largest development in the township and will have a significant impact on the “feel” of the town. Preserving the laneway and providing a buffer will make this development more aGrac9ve and preserve a more rural aspect for all to enjoy. Name and address known and not published

Reading—leGer to the editor

Council has walked away from another public road issue The Beagle Editor, Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

Following upon the significant interest in maintaining Coopers Island Road, albeit with a gate across it, as a public road, I consider it 9mely to raise the Wagonga Scenic Drive issue again, see hGps://www.beagleweekly.com.au/ post/is-council-walking-away-from-another-public-road-under-its-control It would appear that the Eurobodalla Shire Council (ESC) lost interest in part of the Wagonga Scenic Drive back in 2010 having removed some of the signage in rela9on to the ‘tourist route’. In summary, maintenance of the sec9on of Wagonga Scenic Drive between Box CuGer Road and Red Knob Road, including Makins Creek Bridge, had been undertaken by Forestry Corpora9on NSW (Forestry) despite the sec9on of the road being part of a public road which would fall to the ESC to maintain. For opera9onal reasons Forestry are no longer involved in maintaining the road and the ESC has not taken back responsibility for maintaining the public road. Not only is a public road no longer being treated as such but Forestry has been permiGed to construct eight (8) mounds along the sec9on of road and signs have been erected to exclude all but bike riders and bushwalkers (on whose authority can a public road become a bike and walking track?) There arises a ques9on as to access for the NSW Rural Fire Brigade. This sec9on of public road runs northsouth North-West of Dalmeny and North Narooma. Is this piece of road required in the event of bushfire from the North West of Narooma? (Closed and impassable public roads were found to be an issue in Victoria during an enquiry into rela9vely recent devasta9ng bushfires.) It would appear that by stealth, and without transparency, part of a public road has been groomed by Forestry and the ESC to ‘quietly’ become not a public road any longer. What once provided amenity for many, including tourists, will no longer be accessible, except to cyclists and walkers. AKer over a decade of obfusca9on the ratepayers of the ESC should be en9tled to know the plan for this piece of road and the jus9fica9on for the plan. Deirdre Russack

arts Art Exhibi5on ‘Time Stretches My Limits’ by Natasha Dusenjko runs Saturday 30 October to Saturday 13 November 2021 at Vol 16 Mechanics September 15th 2017 the Ins5tute, Moruya, NSW 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 Australia. Time Stretches My Limits is an exhibi9on of new work by Dalmeny based ar9st Natasha Dusenjko. Incorpora9ng large-scale video projec9on and photography, it is a sonic and visual self-portrait exploring 9me in the context of self-isola9on. Created amidst intermiGent COVID lockdowns, the work was made inside the ar9st’s studio; a heritage listed former church in Dalmeny and is a psychological and visceral experience. Dusenjko’s past work featured landscape rather than portraiture, exploring themes of iden9ty, geography and displacement. In 2018 Dusenjko relocated to Dalmeny, since then her work has focused more on experimental sound and photography, culmina9ng in this exhibi9on. For Time Stretches My Limits Natasha turns the camera on herself, allowing playful improvisa9on to lead the way, while conceptually engaging a mirror and features of the former church. Natasha says: “I’ve been lucky to be granted access to the church in Dalmeny to use as a studio, friends of mine were generous enough to let me use it before they begin renova!ons. It became clear to me early on, that the work I made here would somehow document the passage of !me in this liminal space; no longer a place of formal worship, the building itself is in the slow and crea!ve process of becoming something else.” Born in Melbourne Natasha Dusenjko has exhibited in solo and group exhibi9ons around Australia, she has received an Australia Council New Work grant and the 2015 Centre for Contemporary Photography Salon prize for best use of photomedia. Her work is included in the Na9onal Gallery of Australia collec9on and in private collec9ons of art curators, museum directors and established contemporary Australian ar9sts. Time Stretches My Limits is part of the Basil Sellers Exhibi9on program ‘Bas about Town’. With support from Create NSW and South East Arts, Natasha was one of three local ar9sts selected to exhibit at The Mechanics Ins9tute. The Exhibi9on has also received addi9onal support from Create NSW as part of the COVID development grant. ‘Time Stretches My Limits’ by Natasha Dusenjko Where: Mechanics Ins9tute, 15 Page Street, Moruya, NSW Australia Dates: Saturday 30 October to Saturday 13 November 2021 Open: 10am-2pm, Wednesday to Sunday Opening event: 5:30pm, Friday 29 October 2021 A COVID safety plan is in place for this event, numbers are strictly limited so bookings are essen9al hGps:// www.eventbrite.com.au/e/185638749497

The latest fishing report from the team at Tackle World Moruya Moruya River.15th 2017 Vol 16 September 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27threally? 2018 Cmon Huey, With another 100mm of rain over the last few days, you can probably guess what affect it has had on the local waterways. Whilst no where near flood levels, the water does have that overly familiar, less than crystal clear, brown hue Just as the borders are opening up, and we have the much needed guests arriving aKer a period of lockdown, the weather gods have decided we need a bit more of a challenge. The flathead in Moruya were star9ng to show themselves, with the lower CharloGe Gay from sec9ons of the river star9ng to show some reward for effort. This weekend I Cootamundra (9 years old) would definitely be concentra9ng your efforts from the quarry wharf down to 47cm flathead the river mouth with baits that have a good oil or scent content in them. Pilchards, tuna or mullet fillet are all good op9ons. Berkley Gulp soK plas9cs, or any plas9c with a liberal coa9ng of any the available scents on the market can also increase your chances of finding a hungry fish. Tuross River. The condi9on of Tuross is going to be about the same as Moruya this weekend, brown with a hint of brown mixed in for good measure. Fish down towards the front of the system, with the areas around the main boat ramp around to the boat shed being the beGer op9ons. The incoming 9de will also offer cleaner water as the cleaner ocean currents push into the system. Oily baits will be the beGer op9on at the moment. Fingers crossed we can get a period of rela9vely lower rainfall, and have the system clear and warm up as the season progresses. I know I am for one looking forward to a good surface bite this summer on whi9ng, bream, flathead and all the usual suspects our south coast estuaries hold. Rock and Beach. Good numbers of Luderick and Drummer have been caught from the stones over the last few weeks, providing plenty of opportuni9es for local and travelling anglers to get stretched! Prawns have been working well, mixed with a bit of bread burley to get the fish in the feeding mode. On the beaches the salmon have been around in good numbers when you can find them. Congo has a good school on it at the moment, I’ll let you work out what side of the headland they are on . Look for the beaches away from the two major rivers to find cleaner water op9ons. Offshore. The ou\low from both Moruya and Tuross will extend a fair way out over the weekend, so look for cleaner water to drop into. There have been good catches of snapper, flathead, and mowong all available to those geZng out onto the big blue. I’d would like to thank every body who has physically visited the shop over the last week, as your willingness to comply with the health direc9ves has made my job a lot easier for the most part. The shop is star9ng to look like Xmas is rapidly approaching, which has got the enthusiasm levels star9ng to peak. I do look forward to this 9me of year, as it’s good to see old faces back on the coast again, as you endeavour to catch a feed for the family, Skye Gay 57cm flathead or just enjoy the lifestyle that we on the coast have chosen. Thank you to all of you who sent us pics from your catches over the last few week. You may see yourself below.
