editorial Welcome to this week’s editorial, Though it is early days in the year 2022 I am predic9ng that the most important movie you will see this year is Don’t Look Up. It is a MUST WATCH. Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018
Don't Look Up is a 2021 American film wri?en, produced, and directed by Adam McKay and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence as two astronomers a?emp9ng to warn humanity about an approaching comet that will destroy human civiliza9on. The comet is an allegory for climate change and the film is a sa9re of government and media indifference to the climate crisis. (Wiki) So here we are in 2022 and looking about I see li?le, if any, hint of alarm at where the planet as a whole is going. Though it did make the news the wild fires in Colorado that killed three, destroyed nearly 1,000 homes and damaged hundreds more, managed to receive a few minutes coverage before we were once again reabsorbed in our own calamity of Covid, blame gaming and Rats. The fact that the Colorado fire happened in the middle of winter, made all the worse by a 9nder dry forest as a result of summer scorching seemed to only raise the interest of a few. We too lost 1000 houses to our bushfires and we too lost lives. At the 9me it was big news around the world because it was intense and also very 9mely. There were worldwide protests about Climate Change, there were summits and deals, there was poli9cs and promises. Our Bushfires helped to provide evidence to the par9es who were pressing for changes to be made. Ours was a horrific example that made it to TV screens the world over. But what have we heard of Climate Change and the 9cking clock that the Earth is on a irreversible path toward catastrophe unless we do something fast? The great GabFest of Glasgow seems to have lost its momentum and the promises that Biden made to America’s commitment look to come to nothing due to a lack of internal support. The EU has threatened Carbon Taxes but will most likely back down when China responds with sanc9ons and tariffs. But Google “Climate Change” and the ether is nearly silent. Instead it is business as usual for the advanced apes on the planet as they desperately try to ensure their own survival against possible ex9nc9on by a virus or two. In a hundred thousand years from now, if there are any geologists leG, they might discover a layer, much like the layers we find on cave floors, that will speak of the 9mes of humans in 2022AD. In that layer will be plas9cs. So many plas9cs. And spread evenly throughout the layer of devices, packaging, disposables and detritus will be face masks, gloves, millions of nose buds and plas9c rapid an9gen test kits. Of interest, and concern, will be the all the other layers that will then follow. The scien9sts are telling us that those layers will be ash. A chemical analysis of the layers will also reveal vast quan99es of airborne par9culates and toxins and all life form traces yielding astonishing levels of microplas9cs. What exactly decimated humanity? We won’t be around to see the analysis and reports. I commend to you the movie “Don’t Look Up”. Maybe, just maybe, in that 2022 layer that the future geologists unearth they might discover a USB s9ck with a copy of the “Don’t Look Up” movie on it and, on watching it, laugh to themselves that rather than ‘looking up’ the humans of the day should have Just Looked instead. Enjoy 2022, and may whatever lies ahead for you be less than that predicted. Un9l next—lei beagle weekly : Vol 241 January 7th 2022

Phillips Calls to Make Disaster Grants Available To Flood Impacted Mogo Businesses Vol 16 September 15th Federal member for2017 Gilmore, Fiona Phillips, is calling on the Prime Minister, Sco? Morrison, to urgently 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018
work with the NSW State Government to open up flood disaster recovery small business grants to businesses impacted by the recent severe flooding in Mogo.
Many businesses have extensive damage and the repair bills run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Mrs Phillips has been contacted by mul9ple businesses about the need for government support and the extreme frustra9on that there isn’t any flood disaster grant available for small businesses. While Service NSW lists the Flood Disaster Recovery Small Business Grant and the Eurobodalla as “eligible” due to the flooding at Mogo, applica9ons according to their website remain “closed”.

“The Mogo community has been through the most horrific and tumultuous 9me over recent years. It’s been one hit aGer another”, Mrs Phillips said. “Bushfires that decimated many local businesses; floods, the pandemic and another severe flood have really taken their toll”, Mrs Phillips con9nued. “It’s difficult to comprehend what business owners, workers and the community have been through – it has literally been the roughest 9me ever”, Mrs Phillips said. “Business owners in Mogo deserve to know that government support is available when they need it”, Mrs Phillips con9nued. “I’m calling on the Prime Minister to urgently work with the NSW State Government and ensure that local flood impacted businesses in Mogo are given access to flood disaster recovery small business grants and support”, Fiona said. The Member for Gilmore is also encouraging any businesses in Mogo that have had difficul9es with flood insurance related claims to contact her office so the Member can raise individual issues with the Insurance Council of Australia.

real estate South Coast Property Specialists (Carlene Franzen) Tips #1078:
Moving from a Seller’s to a Buyer’s Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Market 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018 December did see a slight easing in the national property market which was driven by more properties being listed for sale, so the supply and demand theory is alive and well. That certainly doesn’t mean the property market is collapsing or about to crash, far from it. It just wasn’t quite as “scorchingly” hot as it has been during the year. Corelogic reported “Sellers have held the upper hand at the negotiation table but buyers are starting to regain some leverage. With demand outweighing advertised supply, vendors have been empowered. Nationally, homes were selling in 23 days early in 2021 with minimal negotiation on advertised prices, auction clearance rates were holding in the high 70% to early 80% range across the major auction markets” They predict: “As new listings continue to rise, and demand eases, we should see advertised stock return to more normal levels, providing buyers with some renewed leverage. Homes are not likely to sell as rapidly and clearance rates are more likely to hold around average levels as housing conditions normalise.” Of course the big unknown in pretty much every aspect of our lives is the impact of Covid. Who would have thought on the 5th December when our daily positive number was 208 that on the 5th January it would be 34,944 which most epidemiologists believe is a major underestimation? Who knows if the authorities will change their minds again and re-impose some restrictions to try to kerb the rate? Corelogic believe: “Although there are some headwinds building for the housing market, we expect national housing values will continue to rise in the short term. Even if interest rates rise earlier than expected, it is likely to be a gradual process. The cost of debt is likely to remain well below long term averages, continuing to support housing demand for an extended period of time.” If we are moving from a sellers to a buyers market, the message should be loud and clear for those that are intending to sell their property. You will have more leverage in the sale and negotiation period if you sell your property now rather than leaving it too long. You will be able to maximise your price and shorten your time on market, both of which will lower the stress levels that is a common concern when selling your most valuable asset. beagle weekly : Vol 241 January 7th 2022

Reading Gadfly 211 By Robert Macklin As we flick on the starter motor to 2022, roll out of the January carport and consider the road ahead, the prospect for Australia is about as scary as it gets. Vol 16 September 15th 2017 is 27th it? 2018 28 Or December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April
I mean, it looks like Climate change is gathering pace; all this rain is producing an undergrowth that will explode into vast bushfires that will make 2019-20 seem like a prologue to the horror story. Covid is totally out of control; the Omicron variant was allowed to overwhelm our defenses. Henceforth, it’s free to mutate once, twice, a hundred times. And as many of our scientists fall victim in the battle, how will the survivors fare in this war of the mutant worlds? Democratic government itself is weakening, often sabotaged from the inside by the ‘strong men’ – television performers like Donny Trump and that British clown with the straw for hair. (Interesting about their fascination with follicles – Donny T is wild about his mop, and I notice his little mate Scotty is desperately growing his own.) Oh yes, Scott Morrison. How does he figure in this odyssey awaiting? Well, maybe this is that shaft of light in the darkness, a kind of Jacob’s ladder that leads ever upwards to that place of special knowledge denied us mugs of the hoi poloi. You see, Scotty truly believes that he’s doing the work of his Pentecostal creator. He just knows that when you take a piece of coal into the Parliament you are obeying His will. He really wants you to remain Prime Minister to fight the good fight against religious discrimination. And who among us can say that Scotty hasn’t got it right? Maybe he really gets these whispers from above. Boy-oh-boy, if that’s the case, then it’s certainly okay for him to tell fibs; it’s fine to pretend stuff; it’s quite acceptable for Scotty to use his authority to bully opponents (and even allies) to heed his will. But here’s the really good part. With the pandemic raging through the population, how about we ‘postpone’ the next election on grounds that it would be a ‘super-spreader’? We wouldn’t want that to happen, would we Scotty? In fact, in this ‘national emergency’ why not turn the National Cabinet into an ‘interim’ governing body while the Parliament is suspended. The powerless Governor-General would have to accept the advice of his Prime Minister. The Chief Ministers and Premiers (except the heretic from WA – who needs him?) would have little choice but to go along; and to make it a more ‘representative’ body, you could invite the Opposition Leader to join in. The pressure on Anthony Albanese would be enormous. But what if he stood his ground, what then? Well, mass demonstrations in the streets! How incredibly irresponsible would that be. You’d be fully justified, Mr Prime Minister, in declaring Martial Law and as you’ve shown, the good old Aussie Defence Forces have been more than happy in the past to lend their uniformed presence to domestic operations, from Tampa to Operation Sovereign Borders to Covid quarantine. Sure, martial law is a big step forward, but it’s been done before. The great Governors Lachlan Macquarie and Thomas Brisbane in NSW and George Arthur in Tassie did it when the Aboriginal people opposed the ‘settlement’ of their country. And after all, it’s only until things settle down…eh? So, what do you reckon, my Son? Give it a go? beagle weekly : Vol 241 January 7th 2022

Reading—A beer with Baz Bazza had his chin firmly planted in the cup of his hand. The heavy grey clouds smothering the sunlight matched the mood in the bar. He nodded a ‘G’day’ at Mick and took a sip of the offered schooner. Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018
“Well Mick, that was five minutes of Covid free sunshine we enjoyed. It’s a bit of a war zone outside. Empty shelves in the supermarket, queues at the tes9ng sites……” Mick put up a hand. “I’m not here to talk about bloody Covid, Bazza. How about the cricket?” “Ahhh Mick, that’s about as predictable as the old test pa?erns they used to play at night aGer the regular programming finished…….The tennis?” “Nah, Bazza, we will just get onto to ‘Novax Djokovic” and I don’t want to talk about bloody Covid.” They both drank in silence un9l one of the patrons cleared his throat. Everyone 9ghtened their masks. The culprit put his hands up, as all eyes directed daggers at him. The bar relaxed when he pointed to the half eaten pack of cheezels. “Crikey, Bazza, having a beer has become stressful.” They con9nued to drink in silence un9l the bar a?endant announced the pub would be closing due to staff shortages caused by Covid. Mick groaned. “Can’t get away from it, Bazza. There must be some good news to yarn about.” “Well Mick, my neighbour told me there are twenty four le?ers in the Greek Alphabet and we have used up more than half of them naming the Covid variants. We will either run out of variants or Greek le?ers. I guess that is kind of posi9ve.” Mick shook his head. “There you go again, Bazza, you’re back to talking about bloody Covid. I want to yarn about ‘how good is something…… anything.” They returned to drinking in silence. Bazza’s eyes shot skywards. “I take the 9p, Mick…… Let’s talk about how good it was lining up those submarines from the USA and Britain and pissing off the French? I mean…… how good would it be if that mul9 billion dollar deal was allocated to our health system; now under predictable stress. How good would that be?” The storm rolled in.

LeJer to the editor “There's an overriding desire to protect these estuaries for future genera;ons” Hi Editor, Firstly, happy 2022 wished to thee and thine. At your discre9on you may wish to publish this le?er. It Vol 16 September 15th consists mostly7th, of a2017 simple submission to Council, and I trust there will be be?er researched ones 28 April December Vol 48 27th 20182017 submi?ed and other community member contributed ones in regard to this issue. To date, of course, we do not yet have official contact details of our new councillor body. So in lieu of being able to cc them into my emailed submission to the bureaucracy, and to give them a 'heads up', as to what I perceive will be a major ongoing issue that will require their a?en9on over their term, I provide the following : SUBMISSION To Council (Closing date being c.o.b. 5 Jan 2022) I start my brief submission with a quote: " There's an overriding desire to protect these estuaries for future genera;ons...." The source being from Council's website as per, h?ps://www.esc.nsw.gov.au/news-and-events/latest-news/2021/fishing-for-feedback-on-estuary-plan . I, as many in our community also do, share that OVERRIDING desire to PROTECT these estuaries. I will focus on Mummaga Lake as it is the one area that the consultants hired to provide the report could find no previously prepared recent reliable environmental research as revealed in their scoping study. Their own research however did note that urban runoff into the Lake from the exis9ng Dalmeny urban se?lement was a High Risk considera9on. From the draG report it is evident that the consultants, in looking at 'risks' and consequent recommended ac9ons within the draG 'plan' to alleviate the same, had an assump9on that the popula9on of Dalmeny would increase by a mere 10% over the next 15 years. Given that Council has contracted (but not yet seJled the deal) to sell approx 40 hectares of forested land, that adjoins a further approx 60 hectares of forested land all earmarked for urban development, this assump%on is completely negated. I should emphasise that this large area of forested land, now being ac9vely prepared for development, was obviously not a factor in the considera9on of the consultants who prepared their environmental input for the estuary plan. The recent approval by council to sell their 40 hectares that they control on behalf of the community, to a developer that facilitates even more exis9ng developer owned land also being more easily transformed into urban se?lement is a game changer. Topographic analysis will I am sure reveal two things.

LeJer to the editor Given the eleva9on of much of this land, which leads DIRECTLY to Mummaga Lake, there will be two key factors that must be considered. The first will be the poten9al for massive damage to Mummaga Lake environs and ecosystems due to rain runoff of soil and debris as this huge parcel of forested land is cleared for Vol residen9al 16 Septemberbuilding 15th 2017blocks. 28 April December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 27th 2018
Add to this the deeper disrup9on by installa9on of infrastructure of new roads, plus sewage pipes and water pipes. With the poten9al for so many urban blocks being cleared over such a big area, no doubt over many years, how can this NOT be a cri9cal factor in developing an estuary management plan The second will be the ongoing management of everyday but hugely expanded urban runoff, from roads, etc...which you may remember was already seen as high risk by the consultants within the exis9ng urban footprint. Given the above, how did it happen that these issues were not highlighted in BIG BOLD le?ers to the community (or councillors of the day), when these draGs went out for public comment ?"

CHILDRENS AFTERNOON. – Having a few pounds credit balance from the Children’s Ball on 30th ult., the promoters, Mesdames James and Gannon, have decided to give those who could not a?end, owing to the wet night, an occasion of pleasure on Monday aGernoon, 23rd inst. All those who were par9cipants in the recent func9on are also cordially invited to a?end. Parents are kindly requested to send sandwiches, cakes and scones ready for serving. PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE. – Mrs. Hughes, wife of the Prime Minster, has been created a Dame Grand Cross of the Bri9sh Empire. The heavy rains and southerly gales during the holidays completely spoilt campers’ pleasure and fishing excursions. Dr. Cutler’s fiancée, Miss Pearson, of Woolwich Point, Sydney, is at present on a visit to Moruya and is the guest of Mrs. J. Emmo?, of ‘Eversley’. We regret to hear that Mr. Fred Knight, of the local Post Office, was on Thursday hurriedly summoned to Auburn to the bedside of his father, whose life is despaired of. Mr. W. Boot of the Bega “Budget,” who has been staying with his sister, Miss Boot, of “Yarragee House,” leaves for home tomorrow. MOGO. – (From our Correspondent) A sports gathering was organized for New Year’s Day and a pre?y able commi?ee ran the show. Mr. Blakeley acted as President with A. J. Anne?s and M. Barling as Secretary and Treasurer respec9vely. Messrs. Geo. and Syd. Veitch backed up well with plenty of go and polish, and so did a few more enthusias9c locals. Result – a fair list of events for the day. The only thing that dampened the ardor was a watery outlook, and by George, it did rain! The old Cabbage-tree creek presented a scene fit for Harry Dale the Drover. However, out they came, and the recrea9on ground, muddy and slippery though, made out a good slice of life. Hot refreshments and many other good things thrown in could be had for a bribe. … Extracted from the Moruya Examiner by the Moruya and District Historical Society Inc. h?ps://www.mdhs.org.au beagle weekly : Vol 241 January 7th 2022

Australia has gone from COVID control to chaos OPINION PIECE BY Raina MacIntyre Raina MacIntyre is a member of the WHO COVID-19 Vaccine Composi;on Technical Vol 16 September 15th 2017Advisory group, a member of OzSAGE, and has consulted for or been on advisory 28 April December 7th, 2017 boards for27th Janssen, AstraZeneca and Seqirus on COVID-19 vaccines. She has been on advisory boards for Vol 48 2018 Sanofi and Seqirus for influenza vaccines in the past 5 years. She is currently working on a clinical trial of a non-COVID vaccine for Moderna. She currently receives funding from NHMRC (Principal Research Fellowship, Centre for Research Excellence) and the Medical Research Futures Fund, and has done COVID 19 modelling for the Tasmanian Government. Australia has gone from COVID control to chaos. So what now? Two paths lie before us OPINION: The public has been left to their own devices as all our previous safeguards collapse around us. We urgently need a “vaccines-plus” strategy to flatten the curve. Australia has swung from one extreme in pandemic control to the other – having great control of COVID, to now having the world’s highest rise in daily cases. Across the country (except for Western Australia), COVID cases are exploding. True case numbers are much higher than official reports, as many sick people cannot even get a test or are only tested with a rapid antigen test, which isn’t counted in statistics. Frail, ill and vulnerable people have queued for hours at testing centres, only to be turned away. Others find testing centres closed down without explanation. Instead of rushing to expand capacity, state and federal governments restricted access to testing even more, by narrowing the definitions of who was eligible for a test and of what a close contact is. State and federal governments have also pivoted to a strategy of using rapid antigen tests, as the traditional PCR testing system is overwhelmed. But these tests aren’t provided free, are exceedingly hard to come by, and there have been reports of price gouging. The net effect of inaccessible, restricted and expensive testing is falsely low case numbers but exploding transmission, because undiagnosed cases fuel transmission. Combined with vastly reduced contact tracing, this has toppled two pillars of epidemic control: test and trace. Modelling for the national plan assumed these would be still standing. Without these, it will get much worse. The public has been left to their own devices as all our previous safeguards collapse around us. We urgently need to change our approach and follow a “vaccines-plus” strategy to flatten the curve. We can’t rely solely on vaccines Available data suggests two vaccine doses provides minimal protection against symptomatic infection with Omicron. Multiple countries already tried a vaccine-only strategy and failed. OzSage warned this wasn’t enough. The New South Wales government persevered with the roadmap despite the emergence of Omicron and rising cases in early December – mask mandates were dropped and QR codes abolished. By late December, cases predictably soared. With Christmas and New Year looming as superspreader events, NSW reintroduced QR codes and mask mandates, both highly effective and minimally intrusive. Then within weeks there was more flip-flopping about QR codes in what remained a chaotic response. Meanwhile, people in Sydney cancelled restaurant and party bookings in droves for New Years Eve, leaving business and the economy worse off. We’ve been told we have to live with COVID. In Queensland, the Chief Health Officer went as far as saying: “Not only is the spread of this virus inevitable, it is necessary (for COVID to become endemic).” But COVID will never be endemic. It will always be an epidemic infection, with recurrent epidemic waves. Lack of planning - Every government health agency was informed by modelling that cases and beagle weekly : Vol 241 January 7th 2022

Reading—opinion hospitalisations would surge when mitigation measures were relaxed. But there has been inadequate surge planning at all levels of government, leaving us sitting ducks with low third-dose vaccine coverage. There was no planning for expedited third-dose boosters, expanded testing capacity, rapid antigen tests, hospital in the home, opening of schools or even guidance for people to protect their Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 household when one person becomes infected. During the Delta wave, hospital in the home was set up to spare hospital capacity, but this time people are on their own and must take “personal responsbility”, according to the Prime Minister. Health systems buckling The Omicron wave has made health systems buckle in most states, with NSW worst affected currently. Delta was twice as severe as previous variants, so if Omicron is 20-45 per cent less severe than Delta, that’s still no laughing matter with low booster rates. Daily case numbers across Australia are already 30 times what they were in the Delta peak (and may be 200 times higher soon). The enormous volume of cases means the small proportion needing hospital care will overwhelm the system. Hospitals are already so overwhelmed that in NSW, infected nurses are instructed to work. If you need to come into hospital for a heart attack or broken leg, the chances are you will catch COVID as a bonus. “Collapse” of the health system means we move to disaster mode, where the standard of care we expect for any condition becomes compromised. Already, self-caring COVID patients are told to call their GP if they’re worried, with no easy access to the public health system. General practice is struggling without any additional funding or support, withdrawal of some telehealth support, and the extra load of vaccination of children 5-11 years (from next week) and third dose boosters. Several people died at home during the Delta wave. And there’s already a death at home of a 30-year-old reported during the current wave. (and a 23 year old male in the ACT) People dying at home is a measure of health system failure, and should be tracked. There are also domino effects of mass illness on all parts of society. Supermarkets are unable to supply fully, because of the amount of illness all the way along the supply chain. It could go one of two ways from here If there’s no change in policy, there will be a higher, faster peak that far exceeds available health care, which may then force a lockdown. If people who need simple measures like oxygen cannot get a hospital bed, the death rate will start rising. The other option is to use “vaccines-plus” to flatten the curve and ease the load on society and the health system. Such measures include: expanding PCR capacity and free rapid an9gen tests for all, like the UK, US and Singapore building on exis9ng QR code infrastructure for automated digital tracing manda9ng masks in indoor seangs and subsidised high-quality op9ons like N95 masks expedi9ng third dose boosters and ensure adequate supply for fourth doses if required expedi9ng the vaccina9on of children 5-11 years ensuring safe indoor air, including at schools. Taking personal responsibility will be easier for the affluent, who can afford their own supplies, like rapid antigen tests. For everyone else, some simple measures to prevent transmission in the home is to ensure safe indoor air, use KF94 masks which are much cheaper than N95s, and get your third dose booster as soon as you can. It’s worth doing everything we can to prevent COVID and the long term burden of illness it may cause. In addition to long COVID, SARS-CoV-2 lingers in the heart, brain and many other organs long after the acute infection, and we don’t know the long term impacts of this. Omicron isn’t the end – there will be new variants. There are promising new variant-proof vaccines on the horizon, so we shouldn’t surrender.

Moruya Red Door Theatre Company presents: Vol 16 September 15th 2017 With Jan/Feb season 28the December 7th, 2017 just around the corner, Vol 48 April 27th 2018 Anthony Mayne, president of the Red Door Theatre Company says "I am delighted to confirm that we will be joined by the wonderful Stafford Ray.
"I first met Stafford a few years ago when we were speaking with musicians to team up with the theatre company. Suffice to say, when he men9oned that he had played with The Seekers, the gig was his. Stafford Ray & The Moonlighters will play a set before Act 1 and then during the interval. "Moruya's Red Door Theatre came into my life five years ago, when they appealed for musicians to play for the Peter Pan panto aGer which my role grew to be Musical Director with a band of great musicians we call the Moonlighters and the fun goes on!" said Stafford. "Music is a passion for Stafford. Early on, having resigned from teaching to be a full-9me musician, he went on to work in every major TV sta9on and studio of the 9me. Stafford got to play with such greats as Billy Daniels, Billy Eckstein, Florence Henderson (Mom in the Brady Bunch), Rod McKuen, and many more, and these were only some of the American stars. Cilla Black, Dudley Moore and Georgie Fame, a few Bri9sh and of course all the Australians, from Lucky Starr, Johnny O’Keefe, Li?le Paae, John Farnham and many more, including The Seekers but the best of them was actually Ricky May for raw talent and musicianship. "Unfortunately by 1976, Stafford's hearing had deteriorated, due to a congenital condi9on, to the point he chose not to remain in the Sydney music scene. As they say, your last session is the audi9on for the rest of your life, so Stafford decided to leave while s9ll at the top and took up farming, which he did for 25 years. "It was only aGer mee9ng Jo, a re9red doctor, that he was persuaded to have his ears operated on and his was hearing restored to a level that allowed him to take up music again, and so, since giving up on the guitar in 1968, he is now once again sharing his musical giG. "Stafford's love of theatre started, as was the case for many of us, in the school play. Over the years 1975 to 1995, he wrote and published fiGeen musical plays and several straight plays for schools, which were the basis for a very effec9ve literacy program. From 2006, while nursing his mum in Eden, he wrote the first of two novels, since published. AGer moving to Batemans Bay almost ten years ago to take up a posi9on as a Carer, he has wri?en another novel, one adult play and his working on the third novel. Last year, Pem Gerner published a collec9on of limericks by Stafford with illustra9ons by Pem. "So it is an absolute pleasure to be teaming up once again with the incredibly talented Stafford Ray & The Moonlighters for our January and February produc9on of Love on the Run", said Anthony, president of the Red Door Theatre Company.

Tackle World Fishing Report Moruya River. The river has been fishing well this last week. With li?le to no rain fall the river has con9nued to clear up, and the fish have started to play ball Vol 16 September 15th 2017 28 The December 7th, 2017 again. weather has, however decided to mess with us again, just in Vol 48 April 27th 2018 9me for the weekend. With approximately 60mm+ falling so far over the last 48hrs, the chance that the river will dirty up again are pre?y good. Again this will push the fish that had started to work their upstream again, back towards the front of the system. A lot will depend on how much of the rain has fallen in the upper catchment areas. Only 9me will tell. The airport flats have been producing good numbers of flathead, bream and the odd Whi9ng. Fingers crossed this con9nues. Under the town bridge, aGer dark on a full 9de, there have been very good catches of nice sized flathead on soG plas9cs. While up Aaron did the hospital, the holes there have been holding good numbers of bream. Tuross River. Tuross again this week was flathead central, with many local and visi9ng anglers finding good numbers of very willing flathead throughout the system. Baits and soG plas9cs presenta9ons have all been working this week. There have also been plenty of bream also caught in the system, with the odd whi9ng star9ng to turn up on the flats. Fingers crossed the rain we have just had doesn’t turn it all around this weekend. There have also been good fish caught in and around fourways area also. Rock and Beach. The salmon con9nue to offer all beach anglers plenty of fun this week, with all the local beaches holding good schools. There have also been good bream, whi9ng and flathead also on the beaches in the close gu?ers. Worms and nippers being the best baits for those fishing in close. The Moruya breakwall has seen plenty of both anglers and fish this last week, with salmon being the main stay, although trevally, flathead and bream have also turned up to keep the bags mixed. Pilchards on gang hooks as well as metal slugs cast and retrieved both being popular methods. Offshore. The Marlin have con9nued to be on the cards for the game crews working out wide this week, with snapper and flathead s9ll being caught in good numbers on all the inshore grounds this week. There have also been a few gummies reported, so a good bag of fish can be reasonably expected for those heading offshore this weekend. It has been a pleasure to meet a lot of new faces this last week, and hopefully this trend will con9nue as we move towards the Australia Day long weekend. Stay safe everyone and remember, “every days a good day for fishing…” Team Tackle World Moruya. beagle weekly : Vol 241 January 7th 2022
