editorial Welcome to this week’s editorial, Just a week un5l Christmas and the summer holidays that everyone has been looking forward to.

Vol 16 September 15th 2017 The shops and cafes will hopefully be full as they play an vital role in employing so many of our community.

28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 For those not aware the Eurobodalla has an considerably high under-employment rate that brings with it the difficul5es associated with having part 5me jobs and unsecure work tenure.

Next 5me you go into a local shop, café or restaurant you might like to consider that the person serving you has possibly one, two or three other jobs to make up, if lucky, a full 38 hour week. Look a li?le deeper and you might wonder how much they pay in rent or mortgage, the costs of running a vehicle, of keeping themselves in work clothes and how they manage their 5me.

Add to this that many will be parents with all of the commitments of a busy life that includes insurances, fees, rates, food and clothing. They might even extend themselves to having a dog or cat.

But here they are today, at the business you visit, offering a bright smile and doing their best to serve you. It will be a long shiB and maybe not the last for the day before they go home exhausted, to then do it all over again tomorrow. Being a holiday des5na5on that has many of our local businesses opera5ng seven days a week our already under-resourced part 5me workers have less 5me off and work through weekends to help make ends meet.

You may have no5ced adverts in social media, on The Beagle and on the many No5ce Boards around the shire looking for cleaners, baristas, shop assistants, gardeners, chefs, waitstaff and even lifesavers. Behind many of these adver5sements is a quiet despera5on in knowing that there are few, if any, locals able to rise to the occasion as they are already working more hours than normal.

Irrespec5ve as to whether the many posi5ons of cook, cleaner and bo?le washer are filled the holiday makers are coming. And they are coming in droves. From all quarters. And each and all will hopefully be a?ending our shops, our bars, cafes, tourism ac5vi5es and restaurants.

In the month or so ahead there will be a quite hope by many in our community that they can make enough money during this short period to put aside for the off-season when visitors find themselves elsewhere.

Hours will drop off rosters, trading hour signs will be changed, and once again, as we have done for decades and more, we go back into hiberna5on.

But for the summer ahead we can hope to see the numbers swell, the roads become busy, the sidewalks full.

There will be traffic queues, there will be parking conges5on, the beaches will be festooned with towels, cricket games, volleyball, boogey boards and children smeared with zinc. People will get hot, sweaty and sunburned.

Irrespec5ve of how they become it is important that they remember that they are on holiday, and the person serving them is not. For just a second, if they could, before they offer up their vitriolic remarks about the 5me it takes to be sa5sfied, they might like to look at the footwear of who are serving them, and wonder what it might be like to walk a mile or two in those shoes. We can only hope.

Community and businesses have been given addi5onal 5me to provide feedback on pedestrian safety and connec5vity on the Princes Highway in Mogo, with consulta5on now closing Sunday 30 January 2022.

A Transport for NSW spokesperson said the feedback period has been extended to allow residents and businesses to focus on recovering aBer flooding last week.

“The consulta5on on pedestrian safety and connec5vity in Mogo was due to finish Wednesday 22 December but has now been extended to Sunday 30 January 2022,” the spokesperson said.

“We recognise the hardship Mogo residents and businesses are currently facing and understand recovering from the recent flooding is the priority.”

Southern NSW Local Health District Healthcare Quarterly Report Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 Southern NSW Local Health District (SNSWLHD) responded well to increased ac5vity in the July to

September 2021 quarter, highlighted in the latest Bureau of Health Informa5on (BHI) Healthcare Quarterly Report.

Southern NSW Local Health District (SNSWLHD) say "This was one of the most challenging quarters on record for the staff, pa5ents, and community of Southern NSW. The Delta outbreak, which started in midJune, had a pronounced impact on the broader NSW health system. Despite this, SNSWLHD staff con5nued to provide high quality and safe care."

Overall, emergency department (ED) a?endances across the District increased by 9.6 per cent (or 2,331) to 26,685 a?endances in the July to September 2021 quarter, compared with the same quarter in 2020.

Despite this increase in ac5vity, more than three-quarters of pa5ents (77.1 per cent) started treatment on 5me in the latest quarter, this is above the state average of 74.5 per cent.

The median 5me to start treatment for triage category 2 (emergency) pa5ents was eight minutes, faster than the 10-minute target. Almost 8 in 10 pa5ents (78 per cent) leB the Emergency Department within four hours, also well ahead of the state average of 67.5 per cent.

Healthcare Quarterly Report provides: Batemans Bay District Hospital saw 2,769 emergency department (ED) a?endances during July to September 2021, up by 0.6 per cent (or 17), compared with the same period in 2020.

More than four out of five emergency pa5ents (82.8 per cent) leB the ED within four hours in the quarter, consistent with the same period in the previous year. Batemans Bay District Hospital performed 100 elec5ve surgery procedures during the quarter, with most of these in the non-urgent category. Pleasingly, 100 per cent of all elec5ve surgery pa5ents had their surgery on 5me during July to September 2021.

At Moruya District Hospital, 100 per cent of the 265 urgent, semi-urgent and non-urgent elec5ve surgery procedures were performed on 5me in the July to September quarter. The hospital’s Emergency Department had 2,507 a?endances from July to September, up 6.9 per cent (or 162) from the same period in 2020.

Kotvojs confirmed as Liberal Candidate for Bega Dominic Perro?et has revealed that Dr Fiona Kotvojs has been

Vol 16 September 15th 2017 selected as27th the2018 local Liberal candidate for the upcoming Bega by28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48

elec5on.

Much like the endorsement the Dignams Creek truffle farmer received from the Prime Minister, Sco? Morrison, in May 2020, it is to be seen if the same support will be forthcoming this 5me around given his poor recep5on in Cobargo and his total absence from the electorate.

There has been a lot of water under the bridge since the last Bega elec5on that saw Andrew Constance elected. Since then the community have seen him announce his resigna5on from the role of Local Member, not once, but twice, as he moves to step away from State poli5cs and enter the Federal arena. If he fails in his bid for pre-selec5on for the Federal seat of Gilmore this might well be the end of his poli5cal career.

Above: Will the Prime Minister dare return to Cobargo to offer his support for the Liberal candidate in her home town? Photo source

The newly announced Liberal candidate for Bega, Fiona Kotvojs, has vicariously inherited the by-products of the pork barrelling revela5ons of the NSW Government that set in mo5on the corrosion of any last remaining trust the NSW residents had in their poli5cal representa5ves. At a local level the pork barreling ripped away a deserved arts grant to Bega for their Regional Gallery and instead awarded $8 million to Batemans Bay for a project that offered a 'business plan' that may as well have been drawn up on a napkin.

Sadly, as a result of the giBed 'pork chop' the Eurobodalla ratepayers will now be burdened by a white elephant 350 seat theatre expected to lose around half a million dollars per year without even opening its doors.

Locals, looking beyond the gli?er of a new leisure centre in Batemans Bay and a Captain's call replacement of the Batemans Bay bridge find it hard to look beyond the road 100m in front of them as the region succumbs to potholes and shoves. Added to this is the moun5ng backlash to the failure to commit that the new Eurobodalla Regional Hospital will be opening at Level Four. As a further hurdle the Liberal candidate will need to listen to the Moruya community in regards to the many issues raised about the proposed Moruya Bypass.

With the Liberal State government looking somewhat bedraggled and torn by the recent revela5ons of Photo supplied from Dignams Creek might find herself pork barrelling and in-house arrangements the Liberal candidate painted by a jus5fiably cri5cal broadbrush with a tone not of her choosing.

In July 2020 The Guardian reported that "Climate and LGBT equality campaigners have rounded on the Liberal candidate for Eden-Monaro, Fiona Kotvojs, in the lead-up to Saturday’s byelec&on, with one warning she is “more conserva&ve” on climate change than Tony Abbo+.

Ma+hew No+, the founder and president of Clean Energy for Eternity, made the comparison in reference to comments Kotvojs made at a mee&ng with the local climate group ahead of the 2019 elec&on that Australia’s contribu&on to global emissions is “minute”. Given that Ms Kotvojs lives in the Bega electorate her views on the Bushfire Royal Commission findings and the ongoing logging in the region should be of interest during her campaign, especially in light of the recent revela5ons and reports that have been both released, and withheld. beagle weekly : Vol 238 December 17th 2021

Moruya Bypass Flood Studies Put the Cart Before the Horse The recent declara5on of a La Nina event for this summer, combined with widespread rains and associated Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Australia including the Eurobodalla region, have shone the spotlight on flood flooding across7th, southeast 28 April December Vol 48 27th 20182017

planning and prepara5on. The most important current example of flood planning in the Eurobodalla is the Moruya Bypass. The Moruya Bypass Ac5on Group is concerned there are significant unresolved ques5ons regarding the preferred corridor route on flooding and drainage across Mullenderee and Mynora Flats, as well as Moruya township.

The Moruya Bypass Ac5on Group represents a diverse collec5on of the Eurobodalla community who are deeply concerned about the processes involved in the selec5on of the Transport for NSW’s preferred Moruya Bypass corridor, as well as the impacts of this corridor on produc5ve agricultural land, people’s homes and livelihoods, local businesses, the environment as well as the amenity and social fabric of our town. The Moruya Bypass Ac5on Group notes that Transport for NSW recently announced it would be undertaking a “flooding and floor level survey” in the Moruya area. While it is important that these inves5ga5ons are undertaken, it prompts the following ques5ons: 1) Shouldn’t the bypass route be chosen AFTER conduc5ng detailed flood studies? (rather than picking a preferred route BEFORE doing detailed flood studies, as TFNSW has done); 2) When, if ever, will TFNSW publicly release the results of these inves5ga5ons?

These ques5ons highlight significant deficiencies in Transport for NSW’s approach to choosing the best route for the Moruya Bypass.

Instead of conduc5ng detailed inves5ga5ons of cri5cal project aspects such as flooding and drainage, soils & geology, environmental and cultural heritage before selec5ng a bypass route, which can then be analysed and shared with the community, Transport for NSW have chosen their preferred route behind closed doors on the basis of limited desktop studies and flawed “5ck the box” community consulta5on, just aBer catastrophic bushfires and during a global pandemic. As a result, they have chosen the longest, most expensive and destruc5ve route which will poten5ally worsen flooding in town.

According to Transport for NSW’s Moruya Bypass Strategic Op5ons Report, a flood study was undertaken by consultants Rhelm in 2020, but despite several requests during and since the consulta5on period, it has never been publicly released. Poten5al flooding impacts were raised in mul5ple submissions to Transport for NSW regarding their preferred bypass corridor, with some (including the Moruya Business Chamber) querying the accuracy of data from the Rhelm flood study. Despite this uncertainty over such a cri5cal issue, Transport for NSW has chosen not to release the Rhelm study so it could be independently assessed by the Moruya community as part of the consulta5on process for the preferred bypass route.

The impact of an 8 kilometre long, 5 metre high concrete land-bridge on flooding and drainage across a rela5vely confined south coast valley floodplain demands detailed analysis and considera5on before plunging into a preferred corridor route. This has clearly not occurred. The Moruya Bypass Ac5on Group considers this is unacceptable and is seeking release of the Rhelm study under NSW Freedom of Informa5on provisions.

Community—con#nues...

Moruya Bypass Ac5on Group say "Transport for NSW’s track record in dealing with community during the Batemans Bay Bridge project does li?le to ins5l confidence that any of these Moruya flood studies will be forthcoming without community ac5on. Transport for NSW promised to undertake an Independent Coastal Impact Study dealing with flooding and erosion impacts of the Batemans Bay Bridge project but concerned residents are s5ll wai5ng Vol 16 September 15th 2017 for stage 2 of this project, despite the method and scope being iden5fied back in 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 June 2019. Transport for NSW have moved on to other projects, leaving Batemans Bay locals in the lurch.

Will the Moruya community suffer the same fate?"

The Moruya Bypass Ac5on Group also believes it is unacceptable that Transport for NSW has not issued the Community Consulta5on report arising from their Moruya Bypass community consulta5on process which was due for release in August 2021. "We con5nue to ask for its release at the earliest opportunity. The community is being starved of exis5ng informa5on and kept in the dark regarding processes and project cos5ngs at a 5me when the urgently-needed new Level 4 Eurobodalla Hospital and associated health services are struggling to a?ract adequate NSW government funding."

The Moruya Bypass Ac5on Group were invited to run a stall at the recent “Open The Door at Level 4” Rally (see photo), which drew a big crowd to Moruya as well as a?rac5ng widespread media a?en5on.

"The Moruya Bypass Ac5on Group invites you to find out more about what the proposed Moruya Bypass means for our community. Help us get a be?er bypass and a more transparent consulta5on process for this major project by going to the Moruya Bypass Ac5on Group website at h?ps://moruyabypass.org/. You can sign our pe55on and access links to the OneEurobodalla Hospital pe55on and Facebook page."

Peter The Perfect Pumpkin It’s been a big week for NSW south coast band the Country Vol 16 September 2017 launch of their new album, Fresh Pumpkins with 15th the official 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 Picked, at Moruya Markets on 4 Dec, the arrival of new drummer Peter Poole and having 4 songs scoring semi-final spots on the Tamworth Songwriters Associa5on Awards.

Redbank Creek by Rick Bamford is a finalist in the Country Blues sec5on. Graham Scobie has 3 songs in line for a gong with A Cul5vated Man about the death of his father at the age of 95 in Tradi5onal Country, Johnny Dozer Driver about the fire at Yankee’s Gap near Bemboka in Local Hero and Yarri of Gundagai in the Lyrics Only sec5on. Yarri was an Indigenous man who saved 69 people in his bark canoe in the Murrumbidgee flood of 1852.

The band has 5 appearances in Tamworth in January and will also be playing at the Bodalla Dairy Shed this Sunday from 12.30pm as a trio as Peter Poole will be playing at Eurobodalla Live Music at Moruya Golf Club. Peter is a legend of the south coast music scene having arrived in the Eurobodalla in 1993. Prior to that he was in the Army Band at Duntroon having started his music career in Brisbane in 1977.

Although Peter mainly plays drums in the Country Pumpkins, local music fans will know him also as a player of the trumpet, trombone, saxophone, bass guitar and euphonium. He has been a member of many local bands including the Bay Showband, Moruya and District Brass Band and was conductor of both Moruya and Batemans Bay Sing Australia Choirs.

The band would like to pay tribute to former drummer, Daniel “Rampage” Ostrosko who played with the Country Pumpkins for over a decade and appears on both the band’s albums, Pat the Possum in 2017 and Fresh Picked.

community Congo Road north closure: posi#on statement 15 December 2021 The following informa&on is provided by Eurobodalla Council in response to the Congo Road north road closure protest on Wednesday 15 December 2021.

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

There were two roads to Congo village. Congo Road south is a sealed road off the highway via Bingie Road.

This road is a public road maintained by Council and has been progressively upgraded and sealed all the way to Congo village by Council in recent years.

Congo Road north, via South Head Road, is mostly sealed but an unsealed sec5on in the middle passes through private property. This route provides a minor shortcut to the village whereby the public has enjoyed access across private land at the discre5on of the landowner. Council has assisted by maintaining this unsealed sec5on with the agreement of the landowner.

The landowner raised concerns recently over the high risk of public liability claims. Council is unable to indemnify the landowner but agreed to work with the landowner to mi5gate the risk to the community and to him as landowner.

Council ini5ally had agreement of the landowner to retain public use of the road subject to removal of 10 road-side trees. Council sought legal advice to ensure it could legally undertake that ac5vity under the Roads Act 1993. Some members of the community objected to this work and raised concerns about the legal ability of Council to undertake the work, ci5ng an alternate legal view. The work on the trees was paused and those legal ques5ons referred to Council’s legal advisers for further review. Due to the complexity of the context, this legal advice is not expected un5l the new year.

Council has also received correspondence from some residents asking that the trees be removed to allow the road to be re-opened.

To ensure his own legal protec5on, the landowner has withdrawn consent for the public to access across his land along the physical gravel road regardless of any work that may be undertaken by Council to mi5gate the risk.

The landowner has indicated a preparedness to work with the Rural Fire Service in an emergency in the community interest, and the RFS has also indicated an ability to invoke powers of entry during an emergency response situa5on.

NSW Ambulance has indicated that their crews are on the road and mobile. They will use the legal access via Congo Road south should they need to respond to Congo village.

Council can confirm that indemnifying the private landowner is not an op5on. This has been explored with Council’s insurer and its insurance broker.

For public roads in the shire, Council is the road authority and can make and enact decisions about road safety and risk mi5ga5on within the provisions of the Roads Act 1993. As a roads authority, Council also has protec5on under the Civil Liabili5es Act 2002. In this instance, the sec5on of road in ques5on is privately owned and Council is therefore not the road authority and not protected under the Civil Liabili5es Act. The sec5on of Congo Road north across the private land will therefore remain closed as per the landowner’s decision.

Council will await further legal advice before responding to Congo residents about the appropriate next steps. beagle weekly : Vol 238 December 17th 2021

Third #me lucky for Recovery at the Bas- Eurobodalla Prize winner Raewyn Lawrence says she is feeling “op5mis5c, even excited” about her solo exhibi5on Recovery, opening at the Bas on Saturday.Obvious in the 35 works on exhibi5on is the ar5st’s engagement with climate issues; with inspira5on drawn from the beauty of nature and in bushland regenera5on following the Black Summer bushfires.

“Landscapes are s5ll very current subjects in my work,” she said. “I do carry a sketch pad with me pre?y much all of the 5me, but I enjoy pain5ng mainly in the solitude of the studio; a place where produc5vity can blend with cups of tea.”

Above: Recovery in green oil on canvas 152x122cm by Raewyn Lawrence.

Ms Lawrence said the shire’s history and folklore, both indigenous and colonial, was another rich resource that informed some of the works in Recovery. She said it was a case of third 5me lucky to get the solo exhibi5on opened – twice cancelled due to COVID – aBer winning the Eurobodalla Prize with her oil on canvas Smoke in 2020.

“The thick smell of smoke, the con5nuous sounds of sirens and low flying aircraB … the need for a moment of peace and calm was overwhelming. Smoke came from a small, quick pencil sketch of a bush track,” Ms Lawrence said.

“There is a strange beauty in the colours. The orange glow of the sun through its smoky filter, contrasted with the blue form the smouldering ground, and in using those colours I tried to find that moment of peace.”

Recovery opens at the Bas on Friday 17 December at 5.30pm and runs un5l Sunday 30 January. Ms Lawrence will present her ar5st’s talk at the Bas on Saturday 18 December from 11am. For more informa5on visit www.thebas.com.au beagle weekly : Vol 238 December 17th 2021

community Strengthening Batemans Bay not-for-profits : Grants provide ongoing support Seven not-for-profit organisa5ons (NFPs) in Batemans Bay are sharing $131,106 in grants for capacitybuilding projects that will strengthen these groups, so they can con5nue to support their communi5es.

Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Funded through FRRR’s 28 April December 7th, 2017 Inves5ng in Rural Community Futures (IRCF) program, in partnership with The Vol 48 27th 2018 Snow Founda5on, these grants will help these local NFPs with funding for needs and opportuni5es priori5sed through the Community Roadmap.

IRCF is a five-year program designed to provide local NFPs with the tools and support they need to make las5ng impacts in their areas of focus for the community. Alongside grants, FRRR is providing resource and support to help bring these plans to life.The Roadmap was developed through extensive and ongoing community consulta5on that charted shared priori5es and concerns. These grants are for projects conceived in response to the issues iden5fied through this process.

In the seven grants awarded, there was a strong focus on suppor5ng digital transforma5on, training and networking. Funding will assist organisa5ons in responding to people in need and relieve stress in organisa5ons, which is aggravated by an ever-increasing compliance burden and the ongoing challenges of COVID-19. Alli Mudford, FRRR’s People Por[olio Lead, said that the IRCF program is now in its second year of helping local NFPs to respond to each community’s specific context and support their long-term sustainability.

“One of the great posi5ves of this program is that local groups come together to share their strengths and ideas to gain a more sustainable foothold in community giving and support. It’s been fantas5c to see so many organisa5ons keen to get involved, to collaborate and increase their capacity as a sector to be?er support their communi5es,” Ms Mudford said.

“It’s also wonderful to see local organisa5ons stepping up and taking on lead roles. That includes Batemans Bay Rotary, who are coordina5ng digital skills and systems training, and ongoing IT support to link community services, chari5es and clubs and enable digital transforma5on. Eurobodalla Shire’s South Coast Health and Sustainability Alliance will contract Community Facilitators, who will assist grassroots NFPs in Batemans Bay to benefit from the IRCF program. Other grants will help increase awareness in the community of service availability, such as Eurobodalla Educa5on and Therapy Services who will refresh their brand and update communica5on and marke5ng materials for Muddy Puddles, to increase awareness and understanding of the diverse services available.

The four other grant recipients in the Batemans Bay region are: The Circle Founda#on Coopera#ve Ltd – Building capacity for opera#ons, fundraising and community co -design - Cri5cally 5med support to enable the Circle Founda5on to move from start-up concept to feasibility stage of development. $20,000 Clyde River and Batemans Bay Historical Society Inc – Crea#ve Ways to Recruit and Retain our Volunteers - Host a workshop to train the BBHS’s partner NFPs to create ac5on plans for be?er volunteer recruitment and reten5on. $6,426 Eurobodalla Woodcra@ Guild Incorporated – Eurobodalla Woodies Mogo Workshop - Commission the professional services required to support the rebuilding of the Woodies workshop that was lost in the Black Summer fires to enable reconstruc5on to commence and opera5ons to resume as soon as possible. $10,000 The Family Place Inc – Managing Growth in Recovery - Appoint a part-5me resource to support fundraising, compliance and governance enhancements needed by the Family Place to respond to rapidly escala5ng demands from vulnerable families. $20,000 For more informa5on about the Inves5ng in Rural Community Futures program visit h?ps://frrr.org.au/ircf-program/. beagle weekly : Vol 238 December 17th 2021

Poster erected on new hospital site offers an update The masterplan for the new $260 million Eurobodalla Regional Hospital at

Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Moruya has been in a media release by the Premier Dominic 28 April December 7th,revealed 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

Perro?et today. Sent out selec5vely to media the Premier said "We’ve listened to the community, experts in health planning and our clinical and allied health staff. They want this new hospital to grow with the residents of the Eurobodalla and that’s what my government is delivering”.

“There’ll be MRI services, greater ED capacity, an ICU/Close Observa5on Unit and space for staff educa5on and training in one of the largest greenfield hospital developments underway in NSW.” Health Minister Brad Hazzard has said on numerous occasions that the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital will be built to accommodate a Level 4 health facility.

“We will be delivering so much more than is currently in the district including a new MRI, an 8 bed intensive care unit and enhanced oncology services. It will be up to the Local Health District to recruit all of the specialist clinicians necessary to operate a Level 4 hospital and that’s what will be delivered,” Mr Hazzard has said. It has however been noted that neither the Premier or the Health Minister have acknowledged that their announcements offer no 5me-line in the delivery of a full level Four hospital. This con5nued failure was the key point at the recent Open the Door at Level Four public rally held in Moruya.

Mr Hazzard has said “It doesn’t ma?er whether you live in Narooma, Moruya or Bateman’s Bay you will have outstanding medical care as close to where you live as possible. Our nurses, doctors, allied health staff will be able to deliver care from a state-of-the-art hospital.

“Once completed, the new hospital will provide more beds than are currently available in both Moruya and Batemans Bay hospitals combined.”

In the media release issued following the media call it says: "The NSW Government recently announced a $500 million boost to its investment in rural health services and infrastructure.

"The new South Coast facility will feature the latest technology and models of care and improved Emergency Department capacity, specialist consulta5on rooms, an expansion of medical imaging including a second x-ray machine and MRI, as well as other ameni5es including space for staff educa5on and training.

The formal State Significant Development Applica5on (SSDA) planning process for the new hospital has commenced and consulta5on will con5nue to develop the applica5on, including a detailed Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

The master plan and early designs have been prepared in collabora5on with clinicians, opera5onal staff, local Aboriginal community representa5ves and community members. The site acquisi5on process is proceeding, and early and enabling works are expected to start in 2022.

Construc5on of a facility of this size generally takes between two to three years to complete and is expected to open to pa5ents in 2025.

Meanwhile there is no commitment that the Eurobodalla Regional Hospital will include, at the 5me of opening its doors in 2025, the full suite of facili5es that would sa5sfy a Level Four hospital being: · An emergency department · an eight bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) /Close Observa5on Unit (COU) · increased capacity for chemotherapy treatments · surgical and opera5ng theatres · expanded medical imaging, including MRI and addi5onal X-ray · Ambulatory care for community outpa5ent services · Paediatric and maternity services - including inpa5ent beds · Flexible mental health beds associated with the medical inpa5ent unit and · enhanced educa5on and training facili5es. beagle weekly : Vol 238 December 17th 2021

Give the gi@ of experience this Christmas Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Overspending, and overindulging – 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th overea5ng, 2018 it’s the reality for many at Christmas and in the pursuit of being overjoyed, it’s easy to overlook our environmental impact.

From unwanted giBs and uneaten food, to miles of wrapping and bins full of packaging and throwaways, household waste increases by about 30 per cent during the fes5ve season.

But there’s no need to overdo it, says Eurobodalla Council’s sustainability educa5on officer Gillian Kearney.

“By purchasing experiences in our region rather than ‘things’ you’re suppor5ng a local business, reducing waste in landfill and celebra5ng our area,” she said.

Above: Broulee’s Art on the Path will be held 8am-12pm on Sunday 19 December on the shared pathway on Corona&on Drive, opposite the Post Office.

“From trips to Montague Island (Barunguba) and seaplane flights to Zoo passes, movie 5ckets and dinner vouchers, there’s kayaks and e-bike hire, a river cruise, kitesurfing, fishing charters, cultural experiences, skydiving, surfing lessons, oyster tours, and more – in Eurobodalla we’re so spoiled for choice.

“You might even encourage family and friends from afar to come and experience our beau5ful area for themselves.”

If you must buy “things”, line up local, not online.

“Buying local directly supports your community – and if it’s locally or sustainably-made, even be?er,” she said.

“If you need inspira5on come along to Art on the Path at Broulee on Sunday 19 December. There you’ll find a whole host of local ar5sts and makers showcasing their products – many of which have been upcycled from discarded objects.”

Broulee’s Art on the Path will be held 8am-12pm on Sunday 19 December on the shared pathway on Corona5on Drive, opposite the Post Office. More 5ps to reduce your environmental footprint this Christmas include:  Use a live, po?ed Christmas tree or plant, which can be kept outdoors year-round.  Consider using decora5ons made from natural materials.  Send an e-card as an easy and paper-free alterna5ve to tradi5onal cards.  Make your own giBs, a home-grown po?ed plant or mosaiced house number, perhaps.  Swap bought-wrapping with fabric offcuts or tea towels, reused wrapping paper or giB bags, the kids’ drawings, or make your own paper.  Buy food with minimal packaging, locally-grown products or grow your own. # and at some point, as you gaze at your navel, you might wonder how it came to be that an advanced ape species managed to turn an incredible, rare, remarkable blue planet into a squalid cesspit in just one genera&on. beagle weekly : Vol 238 December 17th 2021

Stephanie Hancock receives inaugural Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Margaret Saker 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 Volunteer of the Year Award Stephanie Hancock is the first Quotarian to receive the Margaret Saker OAM Volunteer of the Year award.

Margaret Saker, a much-loved Narooma resident and member of Quota for over 29 years, passed away in June 2020. Quota Club Narooma created the award in her honour.

“Without Marg’s steadfastness there likely would not have been a club at all,” says current president Sue Fahey, who came up with the idea. “The award is presented annually to a member of our club who has demonstrated outstanding service, just as Marg did.”

Since joining Quota Club Narooma in March 2020, Stephanie Hancock has demonstrated a willingness to get involved in all aspects of the organisa5on. She was elected vice-president in October 2020 and has been the mentor to new members since that 5me. She is always one of the first to put up her hand to volunteer for ac5vi5es and events.

The award itself is a handcraBed wooden plaque that incorporates a medallion of Wanda Frey Joiner, who started Quota as a service club for women in Buffalo, New York, in 1919.

A beBer Merry Christmas for some Most of us look forward to Christmas. Time with family and friends, a few presents, Vol 16 September 15th 2017and that special lunch - seafood, 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 turkey, ham and Christmas pudding with all the trimmings.

But for some people in our community, Christmas day is not a day to look forward to.

Some cannot afford the cost of pu`ng a Christmas day lunch on the table. Others dread the thought of spending Christmas Day alone.

But a group of volunteers from the Combined Churches of Batemans Bay get together each year to change that. Their goal is to put on a very special Community Christmas Day Lunch for those who would otherwise probably miss out.

Last year the Combined Churches Christmas Day provided a great 3 course lunch with all the trimmings for about 100 people. In 2019 - the Christmas before Covid - the lunch catered for over 120 people. Young and old, singles, families, couples and kids are all invited.

The Batemans Bay area is blessed with some wonderfully generous businesses and community organisa5ons.

Some contribute to the Christmas Day Lunch every year, year in, year out. Some donate money, others donate goods, others donate giBs and others giB vouchers. The Christmas Day Lunch could not happen without them.

Then we have the volunteers. A small group work for several months to bring the Christmas Day Lunch together, then a bigger team give up their 5me on Christmas Day for the big event. The volunteers help pick up guests from their home and drive them to the lunch, greet and book them in, wait on tables with food and drinks, work in the kitchen to put the meals together, and then clean up aBerwards.

Most importantly we have the guests – those who come along and enjoy a great 3 course Christmas Lunch.

We have a present for all the children, and giBs for all the adults. We want this to be an enjoyable and memorable day for our very special guests. If you or your family are struggling to afford a Christmas Day Lunch and would like to join us for this special day, we would love to hear from you.

If you are not looking forward to spending Christmas Day Lunch on your own and would much rather have a fully catered, lovely 3 course lunch at one of the special venues on the day, please contact us so that you can join in. We have two venues for the Christmas Day Lunch – the Salva5on Army Hall and the Anglican Church Hall. Covid guidelines will be in place at both venues to make sure everyone is kept safe.

If you would like to come along, but don’t have transport, we can pick you up from your home, take you to the lunch, then drive you home aBerwards At this stage we have enough volunteers to help on the day, but s5ll have plenty of room for more guests who would like to be part of the Combined Churches Christmas Day Lunch. Bookings are essen5al.

Please call the Salva5on Army in Batemans Bay on 4472 9644.

Numbers are limited, and bookings need to be finalized by 18 December, so please book in early. beagle weekly : Vol 238 December 17th 2021

Work steps up on Batemans Bay coastal walking trail On-the-ground work has officially begun on the Batemans Bay Vol 16 September 2017 Trail with the upgrade of some stairs Coastal Headland15th Walking 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 at Caseys Beach.

The 14.5-km walking trail traverses public land along the headlands and beaches between Batehaven’s Observa5on Point and McKenzies Beach.

Eurobodalla Council’s senior project engineer George Workman said the vast majority of works would be low impact; things like 5dying up tracks, shoring up safety on stairs, bridges and lookouts, and installing the odd picnic bench.

“First and foremost this is a nature trail, so this project is really to enhance what’s already here,” he said.

“There’s probably about two or three kilometres where we will need to deviate from exis5ng tracks because it’s either a li?le bit unsafe, too close to private proper5es, or we could Above: Eurobodalla Council’s carpentry works just put it in a nicer spot. However, we will be looking to supervisor Steve Dobson and carpenter Josh avoid taking trees or destroying any vegeta5on other than Mears and start work on the stairs to north weedy species.”

Caseys Beach.

Mr Workman said the schedule of works along the trail would depend on the outcome of various approvals.

“It’s not a project where we can start from one end and work through to the other, there’s a whole slew of heritage and environmental approval processes to go through,” he said. “Some components we can start immediately, others we can start soon, but it may appear to be a piecemeal project – as an approval comes in, we’ll get to work.”

Early next year a major project will get underway to upgrade Observa5on Point, which will serve as the trail’s gateway. A wheelchairaccessible viewing pla[orm large enough to cater for small weddings will be installed, as well as upgraded lookout points, integrated Aboriginal and European cultural and historical informa5on, formal car parking and picnic areas.

From there, the trail will traverse along the headlands and beaches to McKenzies Beach, while a smaller network of inland tracks will allow access during high 5des and adverse swell condi5ons. Eurobodalla Council will maintain the trail. www.iga.com.au/catalogue “This is an exci5ng project that not only ensures residents and the community retain access to the trail, but it also has the poten5al to a?ract visitors year-round,” he said.

The trail is being built with $5.25m from the Commonwealth and NSW Government’s Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund, $672,000 from Building Be?er Regions Fund, $145,000 from Bushfire Regional Tourism Fund, $75,000 from Stronger Country Communi5es Fund, and contribu5ons from Rotary Club and Council. beagle weekly : Vol 238 December 17th 2021

real estate South Coast Property Specialists (Carlene Franzen) Tips #1075:

The Year in Review and What’s InVolStore 16 September 15th2022?

2017 for7th, 28 April December 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 Well, what an extraordinary year it has been for everyone. More covid, more lockdowns, more staying at home etc. The Real Estate industry has been no different in terms of being extraordinary. Across Australia we have seen house prices increase on average by around 22%. However, in NSW regional areas this increase has been close to 29%. In addition to this increase, the time on market has dropped significantly which has reduced the cost of advertising and lowered the stress on vendors.

Across Australia, the general trend during 2021 was that houses performed well while the inner city and high-rise apartment market were not as strong. This seems to reflect people’s preferences to reduce their exposure to Covid by living in close quarters with others and generally “looking for more space”.

2022?

We are already hearing potential purchasers asking how long will the property boom last, and will it crash in 2022? Well, according to the analysts no one is predicting a crash in 2022. In previous weeks we have reported that the banks are predicting that the market may peak in Q3 in 2022 and then retreat during 2023, but then again no-one really knows. Certainly no-one (or few) predicted the massive increase that we have seen over the last 2 years. In fact, when Covid first started many were predicting gloom and doom for the industry as people weren’t going to be able to inspect properties or attend auctions etc. How wrong they were.

Generally, the analysts are predicting that property values will keep rising in 2022 but not to the same extent as they have during 2021 and probably not everywhere. The issues that will be responsible for slowing the growth will be a lowering in demand as more properties come onto the market, the affordability of housing given the 20-30% increase in the last 12 months and that the regulator APRA is intent on slowing the market by changing the lending parameters.

We suppose the great unknown still remains the impact of Covid. As we write these “tips” the numbers have just started to explode in NSW and are steadily increasing in Victoria. And the worrying news is that the new variant Omicron isn’t the one that is causing the increase (yet). So…… who knows what will happen and the impact that it will have in the community at large and on the property market. One thing is for certain, this time next year we will be more the wiser Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year Finally, on behalf of all our staff, we wish to thank all our vendors, purchasers, landlords, strata owners, tenants and contractors for their support during the year and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy New Year. Let’s hope 2022 brings us all much joy and happiness.

Reading Gadfly 209 By Robert Macklin A fellow author – albeit of the fic5on variety – had been urging me for weeks to check out the American series Succession, while I’d been trying to Vol 16 September 2017 persuade him to15th watch Australia’s own Total Control.

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

I cracked first. I started watching the ghastly (but very engaging) yarn of a family headed by a horrible old bugger who has built a massive media conglomerate and the plo`ng by his grown children to be ‘the one’ to run the show when he steps down or expires. Part of the a?rac5on was the similarity between the characters – all superbly acted – and a real-life family whose name escapes me for the moment.

At the same 5me, I con5nued to be u?erly riveted by Total Control and could hardly wait 5ll Sunday evening came around to produce the next exci5ng episode. It too was superbly acted, brilliantly wri?en and directed. It was also inhabited by characters with some resemblance to real people.

Succession felt a bit dated. While he wasn’t named, the US President of the day sounded like Donald Trump. By contrast, the Total Control writers and producers captured the prevailing poli5cal ethos in Australia with a laser-like percep5on. The coming elec5on carries the very real possibility – as in the Series – that neither of the major par5es will win a majority in their own right. That would make the cross-benchers the king makers.

So while shows both deal with the quest for power, Succession is a vicious sa5re where none of the contenders for the throne have a ‘policy’ that might benefit the cons5tuency they would rule, be they employees or consumers.

Put them all in costume and it could be the English Royal Court of the Middle Ages or the late Roman Empire.

Total Control deals unabashedly with real issues that will be voted upon in the Federal poll – the role of women in the parliamentary process, the crea5on of a federal ICAC, sexual harassment, cyber bullying and climate change. But here’s the stroke of genius that truly animates the series – by making the principal protagonist an Aboriginal woman, the whole context of the drama becomes the role of our Aboriginal history in today’s Australia.

It’s never ar5culated by any of the characters. It doesn’t have to be. Instead, it’s the genesis, the prime mover from which all the contending issues derive.

When the second season ended in a terrific ac5on sequence, the elec5on is over but its outcome is leB unresolved. Those pesky cross-benchers led by the magnificent Deborah Mailman, is bleeding from a knife a?ack on her way to the Parliament as the newly elected Alex Irving, the Member for Freeman (ho-ho). They are about to vote in the vital division that will decide which party will take the Treasury benches.

But that’s not the end of the story by any means. In fact, I would not be at all surprised if in Season 3, Alex finds her way into the Lodge itself. Either way, it marks a real leap forward in Australian television drama; as it does for Screen Canberra backed by the ACT Government which invested substan5ally in its success.

Meanwhile, Succession imploded in an extravaganza of fatuous melodrama where even my fellow author couldn’t decide which of the characters he disliked least. But big ques5on remains: will the ABC fund that next season of Total Control? And if so, what comes first = the fic5on or the even more exci5ng reality of Elec5on 2022 robert@robertmackin.com beagle weekly : Vol 238 December 17th 2021

Reading—A beer with Baz “Wrap the laughing gear around that schooner, Mick. By gee, you hardly look full of Christmas cheer.”

Mick rubbed his eyes and slowly liBed the schooner for a sip.

Vol 16 September 15th 2017

“Well I’ve 2018 just 28Bazza, December 7th, come 2017 from a couple of Christmas par5es and Vol 48 April 27th I have been caught out re-giBing…….big 5me.”

Mick took in a breath and shook his head.

“You see, Bazza, up un5l this Christmas it has worked a treat. I go to the work Christmas party and I know I will be given a bo?le of top quality red wine by the boss. It is always nicely wrapped and presented. I then go to the second party and then give the bo?le of red wine to a good friend. She is always impressed by the quality of the red wine and really appreciates the thought I put into the wrapping. It has worked well for the past ten years.”

“No harm done, Mick. As my Mum would say ‘It’s the thought that counts.’”

“Yeah yeah, Bazza but this year the boss went to the trouble of ge`ng a personalised label made for the bo?le acknowledging my ten years of loyal service. So Bazza, you can imagine the look on her face when she unwrapped it and finds out that not only have I been been a cheapskate this year, but for the past decade.”

Bazza took a good sip and laughed.

“Mick, there is an art to Christmas re-giBing and it is all in the planning. Back in the day, it would necessitate a trip to the local Tip, preferably on Boxing Day. When I was a kid, you could pick up the latest K-TEL product that was being screamed at you from the TV adver5sements. There were Fishin’ Magicians, Brush-O-Magics, Record Selectors or the Blitzhacker Food Chopper that all ended up at the dump soon aBer Christmas. The trick was to keep it un5l next year. I thought I was pre?y lucky one year to find the K-TEL Bo?le Cu?er for Mum for the next Christmas. I had a set of new glasses made in no 5me from old Ben Ean wine bo?les for Christmas lunch. However, her joy was soon overcome when she looked around the lunch table at bleeding mouths.”

“You’re hardly cheering me up, Bazza.”

“But Mick, I tried to make amends the next Christmas. You see, Mum had a set of Royal Doulton crockery kept under lock and key in the china cabinet. It was only ever used for very special guests. Unfortunately, the last 5me it was used I managed to break a plate, which leB her quite devastated, because she claimed it was irreplaceable. Well Mick, the look of joy on her face when she unwrapped my giB of a single matching Royal Doulton plate made it a very happy giB giving.”

“Good on you, Bazza. You were bloody lucky to find a single plate. They only sell them in sets.”

“Ahhh…..a bit of ingenuity, Mick. It was all good un5l she announced the local priest was going to relieve us of some Christmas lunch and we could use the now complete set of Royal Doulton as his presence marked a very special occasion. She was pre?y 5ckled there would now be enough plates.”

“I love a happy ending, Bazza.”

“Not to be Mick, my decision to just wrap one of her exis5ng Royal Doulton plates as a re-giB was found out a lot earlier than I envisaged when she set the table.”

Bazza sighed.

“I ended up ea5ng my turkey off a paper plate.”

Reading - LeBer to the Editor

Council Staff face Dalmeny community Ire Dear Beagle Editor Today I a?ended a mee5ng arranged by council staff at one of the road access points to the 100 hectares Vol 16of September 15th being 2017 primed for urban development, that backs the village of Dalmeny. plus forest land, 28 April December 2018 7th, 2017 Vol 48 This 'walk 27th through the forest' and ask ques5ons of the 'consultants' ini5a5ve had been postponed since a week ago, as it was too rainy and wet to do so.

No rain present today, and as it turned out, no 'consultants' either.

No show from the G.M or any of others of the Execu5ve Leadership Team. There were however two Divisional Managers, from the next 5er down of council management present. There were also two more staff from the engineering area, and two from the planning team.

The task of introducing and leading the walk through the forest jaunt however, was leB to one of the staff from the planning team, whose status was below the top three 5ers of management.

The planned one hour allocated for the walking exercise, went by without one single step being taken from the ini5al mee5ng point by anyone.

One of the planning team staff members as the 'Face of the Council Bureaucracy', faced a barrage of ques5ons and some5mes passionate comments from the assembled group of around 50 or so. She valiantly, in an always professional manner, tried to handle such ques5ons, with the occasional assistance of the (mostly by-standing) more senior two Divisional Managers. I have genuine admira5on for that staff member who was placed in a posi5on, that she should have not been.

ABer about an hour and 15 minutes , well past the proposed end 5me of the whole exercise, a small group of the remaining residents, finally set off for a 10 minute stroll through a wee bit of the land due for clearing. I note that it takes me around an hour to give my dogs a decent walk that covers not even close to half of the boundary, with short excursions into the creeks and gullies, of this 100 hectares plus of forest/bush land.

I trust anyone present may have some comments. If not my only contribu5on to the gathering was to advise all, as I have done previously via The Beagle, was of the poten5al awful environmental impact this development will have on the whole Mummaga Lake ecosystem.

Reading - LeBer to the Editor LeBer to The Editor The Beagle Much has been wri?en about the proposed Bypass for Moruya. As we come to the end of this year I would like to share some informa5on and in par5cular respond to the points Phil Herrick raised on this topic.

Vol 16Moruya September 15th 2017 The Bypass Ac5on Group was started by people who are not directly affected by the Bypass – yes it 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018

has members that are but it also has the support of many people not in the direct route of the preferred strategic corridor – these are people who care about the farm land, environment, business in town and where the many displaced people will go if this route becomes the chosen one.

The route closer to town that we have promoted does not cut through Riverside Park – it would cross to the East of the Park and afford travellers a view of Moruya which may en5ce many to call and support the businesses in our main CBD. A sugges5on has been made by a local business person that a Bridge to Bridge walk on both sides of the river could be something that both tourists and locals could enjoy if the new bridge was located on the route closer to town. The bridge is not 15 metres high over land – there seems to be misinforma5on that a 15 metre high structure would cut through the town – this is not the case. The route closer to town is east of the business area.

Much is said about preserving our food bowl – the farm land on the proposed route is very produc5ve.

Why chose the route that destroys the most farmland and environment, displaces many more people, costs more than the shorter route … and disfigures so much of our beau5ful river flats?

People from Batemans Bay need to be aware that the preferred route chosen by Transport 4 NSW does not go direct to the new Hospital site. Those coming from the north of Moruya will travel well south past the site and have to make a right turn back up the exis5ng Highway before taking another right turn into the Hospital site. The original route closer to town goes straight to the Hospital.

Both our pe55on and non biased Business Survey in Moruya have shown us that most people do not know where the actual route preferred by Transport4NSW goes. Business was not consulted and does not want the preferred Orange route. The wider community was not consulted – people are horrified to learn that between 18 – 22 homes will be lost, livelihoods will be lost and our beau5ful river flats will have a 4 lane wide concrete structure cu`ng its way over so much land.

From the outset we were told it was a “preferred strategic route” only – it was not set in concrete so to speak. However our many submissions to and Mee5ngs with Transport4NSW Officials and Poli5cians have not achieved any real answers to our many valid ques5ons. How was the Orange route chosen over the one closer to town? There has never been any open data provided on this.

We are very aware that wherever the route goes there will be loss and grief for people. We seek to have the consulta5on process opened to achieve an outcome that is best for our people, our town and results in less loss overall.

Their first play goes something like: While she is away, Mark calls at his mother’s house to feed her cat. Surely he can be in and out in no 5me; and there must be more interes5ng ways to spend an evening, right?

Any idea of a boring evening flies right out the window, when a hammering at the back door announces the entrance of a deligh[ul, enigma5c girl, who barges her way into the house and sits down. Why is she there and who is she? Now mum returns... with a secret of her own!

The Basil Sellers Exhibi#on Centre presents Eurobodalla Art Prize Winner Raewyn Lawrence.

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

The main event image features The 2020 Basil Sellers Art Prize, Eurobodalla prize winner; Raewyn Lawrence, Smoke, 2020, oil on canvas, 76 x 91cm.

Please join us for the opening night of Eurobodalla Art Prize Winner Raewyn Lawrence's exhibi5on on Friday 17 December, 2021 from 5:30 - 7:30pm.

Drinks and nibbles will be provided.

Opening speeches will commence at approximately 6pm.

Moruya-based ar5st Raewyn will be in a?endance at The Basil Sellers Exhibi5on Centre, which features from Saturday 18 December to Sunday 30 January, 2022.

In 2020, Raewyn was awarded Eurobodalla Shire Council’s acquisi5ve Eurobodalla Ar5st Prize for her work Smoke, which was captured as a moment of quiet aBer the horror and devasta5on of the bushfire season. The coveted prize also awarded Raewyn the opportunity to have her solo exhibi5on featured in the Basil Sellers Exhibi5on Centre program for 2021. Most of Raewyn's art is presented through the medium of paint and her subjects range from landscape to figura5ve works.

Raewyn has said: "Living on the New South Wales south coast, I find it impossible not to feel in awe of the beauty of the natural world. The light and colours that are constantly changing are an endless source of inspira5on.

Another rich resource is our local history and folklore, both indigenous and colonial. I have also been enjoying transla5ng to canvas some more personal work that explores emo5ons and events from my own life and family history.

I enjoy pain5ng from the solitude of the studio, a place where produc5vity can blend with cups of tea and contempla5on."

Tackle World Fishing Report December 17th 2021 Moruya River.

Well, wasn’t last weekend interes5ng to say the least!! The weather for the 5me being has se?led, with the forecast for this weekend FINALLY Vol 16 September 15th 2017 star5ng to feel like summer. Tomorrow is forecast for 31 deg, which 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27thmore 2018 will be a pleasant change from the cold wet weekends we have been experiencing so far.

The river is s5ll running very dirty, with the rising 5de offering cleaner water to try and find a fish or two in. Look towards the front of the Moruya river around Preddy’s wharf and the airport flats, with the last half of the rising 5de to top of the 5de providing the be?er water condi5ons to fish in. Oily baits and lures with noise poten5al, maybe with a bit of scent, giving the best chances at finding a fish or two. Flathead in the deeper holes and drop off, bream on the weed edges, and as the river hopefully clears, whi5ng over the flats.

Mud crabs are also an op5on with the dir5er water around. Drop your pots at any creek mouth or mangrove edges. Pots baited with fish frames, or whole mullet pieces will work a treat. Be sure to check your pots regularly, and don’t leave them in and forget them. Unfortunately, this 5me of year una?ended pots have a habit of going missing, as those with s5cky fingers are looking for an easy seafood feed. Either the round or rectangular style crab pots will work equally as well as each other. So get out and give crabbing a go. We have all styles of crabbing gear in store, so if you need a hand, come in and we can help you get started.

Tuross river.

Tuross will be a carbon copy of the condi5ons in Moruya this weekend, with the fishing being the same also.

Work the front half of the system during the top half of the incoming 5de for your best chances of finding a fish or two. The boat shed area down to the boat ramp and the flats in between will be the go to areas this weekend.

Coila lake is s5ll closed, and the prawning ac5vity is concentrated right towards the front where the salinity levels are higher. The average size of the prawns being caught makes the effort well worth it, as a tasty feed can be procured in good 5me. A prawning light and scoop net are all that is required to get a tasty feed of south coast prawns, all of which we can set you up with. So come in and check out our range today.

Further south, I’m hearing that Brou lake is also fishing well for prawns as well, so there are plenty of local lakes ready for you to chase a tasty summer feed on prawns in.

Rock and Beach.

Salmon have been the main stay of what has been taken from the beaches this last week, with bream and whi5ng also being caught. I have also heard of a few Luderick being caught out the front of Tuross, no doubt washed out with the flood waters of last weekend. Expect a few surprises on the beach this weekend, as many fish have be displaced from the rivers. Mulloway and the occasional shark might also be found sneaking around the colour changes on the local beaches.

Offshore.

The snapper and flathead will be enjoying the extra nutrients that the flood waters deposits out to sea, this has the affect of sparking up the offshore eco system. More food equals more fish. Look for water that is cleaner away from the rivers for best chances of success. The ever popular reefs in the 30-40m marks are a really good place to start searching.

Speaking of reefs, hopefully we will be ge`ng a break in the weather and the ar5ficial reef that is des5ned to be put out the front of Moruya will find its way down from Sydney sooner rather than later, and it can start doing the thing that is designed to do…a?ract more fish life to the area.

With Christmas a mere week away, the shop is full to burs5ng with great giB ideas for the fisherman in your family. We also offer giB vouchers, if you can’t work out what to get the angler in your family. So come in today as we a more than happy to offer any help you may require.

Enjoy the break in the weather, stay safe everyone and remember “every days a good day for fishing…”
