BreastScreen Mobile CHHHS appoints Service to visit Tully new interim CEO

BREASTSCREEN Queensland’s state-of-the-art Mobile Service truck will revisit Tully Showgrounds from August 16 to September 16.

Health Promotion Officer at BreastScreen Queensland Cairns Service, Sandra Peut, urged women in Tully and the surrounding region to take advantage of the truck’s visit and book in for a free breast screen.

“A breast screen, or screening mammogram, is the best way to detect breast cancer early, often before any changes can be seen or felt by a woman or her doctor,’’ Ms Peut said.

“However, if a woman does experience any breast symptoms, she should always consult her doctor as soon as possible.’’

Ms Peut said the risk of breast cancer increased with age.

“That’s why we especially encourage women aged 50 to 74

to have a breast screen every two years, as this is the age group that benefits most from screening,” she said.

“However, women aged over 40 are eligible to join the free BreastScreen Queensland Program.

“On average, one in seven Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

“Early detection could save your life, so it’s vital to keep up-to-date with important health checks.”

The Mobile BreastScreen Service is currently located at the Innisfail Showgrounds, before its visit to Tully in mid-August.

A doctor’s referral is not required to attend the Mobile Screening Service. To book your free appointment phone 13 20 50, see your Health Worker, or visit: www.breastscreen.qld.gov.au.

Queenlanders, the Palaszczuk Government’s free flu vaccination campaign will be extended for just over two weeks until July 17, 2022.

Since the program’s commencement on May 24, 2022, held in partnership with GPs and Pharmacies, around 650,000 people have received their influenza vaccine.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the extension would allow families to take advantage of the program over school holidays.

“We know that parents may not have had the opportunity to take the family in for their free flu shot; that’s why the next two weeks will be critical,” The Premier said.

“This campaign has already been incredibility successful, and a further two weeks will increase Queensland’s coverage as we hit the peak of winter.

“If you haven’t yet had your vaccination, I urge you to take our offer of a free shot.”

Minister D’Ath said more than 29,000 people in Queensland have tested positive for flu so far this year, resulting in over 3,000 hospitalisations.

“Today (June 30), there are 90 patients in our public hospitals, with five in ICU, who are positive with influenza.

“We’re still early in the flu season, and it’s already proving harsh.

“The rollout has had an excellent

response, lifting the state’s flu vaccination rate by more than 12% “But we want to protect more Queenslanders, especially families and those vulnerable to influenza.”

Influenza A is the dominant strain in Queensland. The disease is highly contagious and can be lifethreatening.

The flu vaccine is recommended annually for anyone over six months of age.

ROYAL FLYING DOCTOR SERVICE CELEBRATES 50 YEARS IN CAIRNS FROM > PAGE 1

RDFS Cairns Base is celebrating its 50th anniversary

Mike Lacey was the Cairns Base Manager for 28 years

By Isabella Guzman Gonzalez FIFTY years of providing lifesaving services to the Far North Queensland region will be celebrated this month when the Royal Flying Doctor Service Queensland (RFDS) has an open day at its Cairns base.

To celebrate the milestone, the RDFS Cairns Base will open its doors on July 23, to enable Cairns residents to visit the hangar, see the aircraft up close and learn about the history and vital services RFDS has been providing for decades.

Last financial year, RFDS teams from Cairns transferred more than 1,100 patients, provided 18,698 primary health care consultations, including 2,648 mental

health consultations, and flew more than 1.2 million km.

The RFDS moved its base to Cairns on July 1, 1972. In its first month of operations, the team at the Cairns Base assisted over 600 patients and flew 12,000 kilometres.

RFDS Chief Executive Officer Meredith Staib said the RFDS Cairns Base was now one of the largest in Australia.

“When the base first opened, there were eight staff and a Beechcraft twin-engine Queen Air A80 aircraft,” Ms Staib said.

“Today, our Cairns base is home to four aircraft and more than 100 staff.

“As we look towards the next 50 years, we’re committed to our promise of providing care to the

RFDS Cairns Base Support Manager Samuel Okposin

furthest corner and will continue to innovate.”

The 50th anniversary is particularly memorable for former Cairns Base Manager Mike Lacey, who worked with RFDS for 28 years and witnessed the organisation’s evolution.

“My journey started in 1989 as vice manager for the Cairns Base and lasted for 28 years,” Mr Lacey said.

“I saw lots of changes during that period. When I first started, radio was the dominant communication system.

“Now we have mobile phones, satellite phones, internet, zoom and all those things that have made a vast difference from when I started.”

According to Mr Lacey, the

range of services the RFDS offers have also shifted in time to cater for other necessities within the community.

“There’s been enormous expansion,” he said.

“When I first started, the prime reason for the RFDS was aeromedical retrievals and clinics, and now Cairns is very dominated by primary healthcare, mental health education, health promotion, so it’s become a holistic health organisation.”

Mr Lacey is now enjoying life as a retiree, but he still advocates for the essential job the RFDS does for the FNQ community.

“This service is essential – we’re saving people’s lives,” he said.

“I think that’s the bottom line –

it’s a life-saving service.

“People would not be here today if it weren’t for the RFDS, and as it’s expanded its services, it’s providing many more useful services to the community.”

RFDS Cairns Nurse Manager Aeromedical, Leanne Hill, said the RFDS services greatly impacted the FNQ community over the decades.

“I might be biased, but I think our services are extremely important,” Ms Hill said.

“The service that we provide to people that live in rural and remote QLD enables many people to stay, live and work where they currently are.

“Otherwise, they would have to move into the east coast or into bigger towns with facilities.

“I think enabling people to live and work where they want to be is important.”

Ms Hill invited the Cairns community to participate in their Open Day on Saturday, July 23 and join in the celebration.

“It’s going to be very exciting because we’ll have aircraft for people to come up and look at. They’ll see the aeromedical aircraft and the primary healthcare aircraft,” she said.

“They’ll get to see what we work out of and how different both aircraft are on the inside to offer different services.”

Cairns school girl receives VR training to support a $20,000 scholarship people with disabilities A

teenage student from Cairns State High School is a recipient of a life-changing scholarship worth more than $20,000 to help her stay and excel in school.

The scholarships are awarded to high-potential girls, who are experiencing low socioeconomic circumstances through the Harding Miller Education Foundation.

Executive Director Cara Varian says the Foundation’s scholarships provide the girls with a new laptop, high-speed internet connections, tutoring, career guidance and support to help cover the costs of uniforms, books and school expenses.

“Where these young women have faced barriers, we are offering them a pathway through school and potentially to university,” Ms Varian said.

“These students have the potential to become leaders in their fields, and we hope that the scholarship gives them the support they need to understand and achieve that potential.”

Alexa Barnaby is in Year 9 at Cairns State High School and is one of the successful scholarship winners; and said that it will offer real, tangible help.

“Experiencing personal and socioeconomic hardships has shown me how I don’t want my life to be,” Alexa said.

“I don’t want to struggle and fight to survive. It has given me the drive I need to succeed, and I know that a way to succeed is

going to university.

“This scholarship will help me get to university, and with the additional tutoring, I want to get high enough grades that I will be offered another scholarship, later on, to help with the cost of studying at university.”

Ms Varian said that Alexa is one of 162 scholarship winners across Australia this year.

Numerous studies show education can be a key to breaking cycles of disadvantage, with some even showing that for every year a young woman stays in school, she can increase her potential future income by 25%.

“We’re pleased and proud to support these talented young women,” Ms Varian said.

“We want to encourage them to believe in themselves and know they are capable of anything they put their minds to.”

Ms Varian said applications would soon open for the

next round of scholarships and encouraged girls from Year 8 who think they might qualify to apply.

“If you’re a girl in Year 8, who thinks that your lack of computer, internet or mentoring is holding you back from success, we’d love to hear from you,” Ms Varian said.

“And, of course, we would love to hear from more generous donors who can help us fund this program and the wonderful outcomes it is driving for young women.”

Applications for scholarships for 2023 will open from July 13 and close on September 14, 2022.

testing their abilities in the real world,” Mr Swain said.

“It is a game-changing technology that has proven lifechanging as well.”

The VR training programs were developed to complement the work at Endeavour Foundation’s local social enterprise – warehouse safety, how to drive a forklift, and document destruction.

Other programs include how to use an ATM, cross the road safely, catch a bus or train, and driver training.

The Cairns Virtual Reality Learning hub was established with an $8000 Commonwealth Government Stronger Communities grant supported by local Member for Leichhardt, Warren Entsch MP. “Once again, the great Stronger Communities program is delivering real-time training opportunities for those who may not otherwise have been able to receive the training right here in

Cairns,” Mr Entsch said.

“It’s certainly the way of the future, and I am really keen to see the benefits this opens up for the trainees.”

Endeavour Foundation is also working with community partners to introduce the VR technology into schools across Queensland, particularly in rural and regional areas where students can learn barista and agricultural skills.

Mr Swain said the programs were initially developed for people with intellectual disabilities but had proved to be a hit with school students of all ages.

“The students enjoy it because it is similar to playing a video game, but they’re learning important skills at the same time,” he said.

“The goal is for people to increase their confidence and work skills so they can consider employment opportunities in other areas.”

THE cutting-edge world of Virtual Reality (VR) arrived in Cairns on July 1 to assist people with disabilities in developing employment and life skills in a safe environment.

Disability service provider Endeavour Foundation will launch a new range of training modules that use VR technology to help people with disabilities develop skills and confidence in crucial employmentrelated areas. Endeavour Foundation CEO David Swain said the training was essential as just 53% of people with disabilities had jobs in Australia, compared to 84% of people without disabilities.

Mr Swain said Endeavour Foundation was contributing more than 70 visual learning programs for people with intellectual disabilities focused on preparing individuals for work.

SACRED CHILDBIRTH

“WOMEN’S BUSINESS” RE-OWNED BY YARRABAH COMMUNITY Lorna Garrett & Ja’hkel Ludwick

(L-R) Tonya Ludwick and Ja’hkel, Ruby Ludwick and Norman, Ashleigh Schrieber & Lorna, Constance Richards and Bruce, with midwife Tayla Smith (centre)

By David Gardiner YARRABAH is celebrating a major cultural milestone and strong spiritual and traditional connections are being restored between the community’s young families and female Elders, with a ceremony to welcome newly and recently born children held there for the first time.

Previously in Yarrabah’s past - as a mission where people from many areas and cultural backgrounds were forced to live together - traditional practices were forbidden, and women had no choice over where they could give birth other

than in a hospital.

But thanks partly to the recruitment by the local Gurriny Yealamucka Health Services of Tayla Smith, Yarrabah’s first Aboriginal midwife, future “sacred women’s business” of childbirth will now be taken into the community’s hands.

Tayla described the smoking ceremony last week as “the beginning of a rebirth of culture,” saying it was great to see women across three generations sharing knowledge with each other towards a more holistic traditional support structure in the community.

“For the first time mothers were able to sit down with Elders and share information about past practices of birthing,” Tayla said.

Tayla said the smoking ceremony provided a platform for the Elders to share their information and experiences from traditional birth practices. The event was the first of many planned for the future, a positive step towards permanently restoring and preserving the sacred women’s business of birthing, with vital information shared over two to three generations.

“Since the stolen generation, the

moving of our people and colonisation, we haven’t been allowed to engage in our cultural practices, or fully anyway.

It’s really exciting and beautiful to be able to revive some of that.”

She said the ceremony and future ones like it give children an early sense of cultural belonging. “The ceremony gives babies the feeling of spiritual ancestors around them,” Tayla said.

Tayla hopes to stay for quite a while and see the women’s birthing and care model become long-term.

“I’m really committed to staying on board and seeing this model of care

through because the women in the community want it and deserve it.”

She also wants to encourage other indigenous women to take up midwifery. “For the first time in my career, I feel like I’m doing the job that I became a midwife to do,” Tayla said. “Working with my own people and hopefully improving the outcomes and the satisfaction of care for the women.”

“It’s really beautiful to be able to work in both realms – in a medical realm as a midwife but also to care for and nurture the spiritual wellbeing of our children and our women.”

National award for Cairns doctor

Dr Rosie Matthews

A CAIRNS Hospital doctor has received a national award in recognition of her research highlighting the challenges of reporting tropical disease out-

breaks in Pacific Island nations.

Dr Rosie Matthews, a medical registrar at Cairns Hospital, received the Barrie Marmion Award at the Australian Society for Infectious Diseases’ Annual Scientific Meeting in Perth two weeks ago.

The award is named in honour of Professor Barrie Marmion, who distinguishedly contributed to controlling infectious diseases, including hepatitis B and Q fever.

It was previously won by two other Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service researchers.

Dr Matthews led a team of researchers examining outbreaks of mosquito-borne

www.cairnslocalnews.com.au

(arboviral) diseases such as chikungunya, Zika, and dengue fever in the vast Pacific Island nation region, which stretches from Papua New Guinea through to French Polynesia.

She said these diseases posed a significant public health threat, accounting for more than 17% of infectious disease cases worldwide and one million deaths annually.

“Across Pacific Island countries, outbreaks of these diseases are increasing in frequency and scale,” Dr Matthews said.

“However, data about outbreaks is often incomplete, with reports sporadic, delayed, and based solely on monitoring

symptoms of patients because of a lack of resources and access to testing kits.

“The ability to communicate about outbreaks is also very limited.”

She said the team found outbreaks were reported primarily via email chains between health professionals in the region; however, the information was not made publicly available.

“The amount of information that trickles through to the public is minimal, and the information that is eventually made available in medical literature is even smaller, which doesn’t help public health decisionmakers,” she said.

Dr Matthews said reliable

and accurate reporting of this information was also crucial for the Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service, which often treated patients from neighbouring countries.

“This has a lot of ramifications for us here in Far North Queensland, particularly with international borders re-opening,” she said.

“Quite often, disease outbreaks in destinations such as PNG, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu or Fiji are first detected here in Queensland from returned travellers.”

She said the study identified the need for improved communication between different sectors to understand better

the emergence, circulation and geographic risks posed by mosquito-borne diseases.

“We hope the study will guide public health policymakers in the surveillance and management of these outbreaks in Pacific Island nations, which will – in turn – better inform treatment practices on the ground,” Dr Matthews said.

The ASID Annual Scientific Meeting is the leading Australasian conference for adult and paediatric infectious disease and clinical microbiology specialists, providing a forum for the exchange of scientific advances in the prevention, diagnosis and management of clinical infectious diseases.

Offenders Give back (L/R) Acting field supervisor Shane with acting manager Robert from the low-custody facility at Lotus Glen Correctional Centre

By Isabella Guzman Gonzalez OFFENDERS from the Lotus Glen Correctional Centre near Mareeba are performing vital work for the Innisfail community and learning essential life skills that will benefit them when they are released.

As part of the Queensland Corrective Services (QCS) community service program, a selected group of low-custody offenders are now part of an Innisfail work camp, where they carry out community work for the Cassowary Coast Council such as maintenance of fences, cemeteries, heritage sites, playgrounds and the showground.

The initiative allows offenders to acquire employment and vocational skills and prepare for life after prison while saving council thousands of dollars to maintain the community facilities.

Acting manager of the low-custody facility at Lotus Glen, Robert, said the purpose of the work camp was to enable offenders to work and prevent them from returning to crime in the future.

“The work camp at Innisfail is part of the Lotus Glen low-custody facility up on the Tablelands,” Robert said.

“We have 12 offenders that live in Innisfail – they’re all employed, and the majority work for the council.

“One of our main aims is to try and give back to the community, so these guys are out there working, landscaping and whatever council needs them to

do, our guys will help them.

“The biggest thing for us is to provide life skills for these fellas – life skills that are transferrable so when they’re out of prison, they have an opportunity to get employment and that addresses recidivism the right way.”

Not all offenders can be a part of the work camp. A combination of good behaviour and time in custody plays a role in who gets chosen to be a part of the community service programs.

“We screen the offenders heavily,” Robert said.

“We have the right people here with the right attitudes.

“There are quite a few procedures we go through regarding the offender’s crime, the time they’re in custody and their general behaviour.

“It’s a pretty trusted position to be in down here, and we need to give them a little bit of autonomy, but they need to return the favour, so they need to be doing the right thing.”

Two work camp supervisors are living in Innisfail to ensure the security and safety of both inmates and the community.

They supervise the inmates and make sure that everything runs smoothly in the facility.

“There is supervision, but it’s on the offenders to do the right thing,” Robert said.

“If they choose not to, they’ll be sent back to prison on the Tablelands.”

Acting field supervisor Shane said the camp had a very

PAGE 6 Cairns Local News, Friday, July 08, 2022

positive impact on the inmates.

“This is a role I had been chasing for a while,” he said.

“It’s a very different atmosphere to the prison, and it’s very positive to see the prisoners I’ve known from the main centre when they get down here – I get to see how much they’ve progressed.

“It’s a very positive environment; the offenders are here because they want to be here, and that makes a tremendous difference.

“They enjoy the camp, working within the community and their work ethic is very high.”

As the person who is with the offenders every day, Shane said the camp not only prepared them for employment but also humanised and dignified them, resulting in an easier reintegration into society.

“The offenders that work with council tell me they are treated just like other employees,” he said.

“They get a lot of credit for what they do, and some of them are great workers, and I think it’s the mutual respect they get when they’re working that makes a difference for them.”

The work camps and community service programs are a state-wide initiative that, during 2020-21, resulted in a total of 126,239 hours of community service by supervised offenders, equating to more than $4.4 million in unpaid work for communities across Queensland.

New Specialist Court for Cairns A

specialist domestic and family violence court will be established in Cairns to help vulnerable Queenslanders navigate the criminal justice system.

Attorney-General and Minister for Justice Shannon Fentiman said the Queensland Government had committed $13.4 million over four years to roll out the new specialist court to deal exclusively with domestic and family violence (DFV) matters.

“This model ensures victims attending court can have confidence the experience won’t further traumatise them,” the Attorney said.

“It means women are supported through the legal system, instead of getting lost in it.”

Member for Barron River Craig Crawford said additional funding has also been committed to upgrading the Cairns Courthouse to improve victim

safety and make sure facilities are modern and functional.

“With one of the busiest magistrates courts in Queensland, which deals with a high volume of DFV matters, Cairns will benefit from this specialist court,” Mr Crawford said.

“In 2020-21, the court dealt with more than 1,200 applications for domestic violence orders and more than 1,400 charges of contravening a domestic violence order.”

Member for Cairns Michael Healy said specialist domestic and family violence courts were first trialled in Queensland in 2015 and currently operate in Southport, Beenleigh, Townsville, Mount Isa and Palm Island.

“Specialist courts are shown to be effective in prioritising the safety of victims, holding perpetrators accountable and working to promote changes in attitudes and behaviour,” Mr Healy said.

“The Queensland Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce’s Hear Her Voice report supported the model, recommending an expansion of the program.”

Minister Fentiman said the design and operation of the Cairns Specialist Domestic and Family Violence Court would be informed by the operations of existing specialist courts, particularly Queensland’s first permanent specialist DFV court at Southport.

“An independent evaluation of the Southport Specialist Domestic and Family Violence Court found this model is proving extremely successful,” she said.

“The measures include dedicated magistrates, specialised duty lawyers and prosecutors, as well as a skilled registry and a range of support services.”

1.5 million hectares QUEENSLAND TO BAN Almost returned to Traditional Owners MORE PLASTICS FOR WILDLIFE

THE Queensland Government is moving to ban plastic microbeads, cotton bud sticks, loose fill polystyrene packaging, and the mass release of lighter-than-air balloons, hailing it as another step forward in cleaning up our oceans.

The Government also said they would introduce a reusability standard for carry bags, which will, in effect, ban disposable heavyweight plastic bags.

The ‘second wave’ of plastics to be banned will be phased out from

September 1, 2023.

Single-use plastic straws, drink stirrers, plates, bowls and cutlery are already banned in the state after the Government enacted laws last year on September 1, 2021.

The Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) welcomed the Queensland Government’s action.

Plastics spokesperson for the AMCS, Shane Cucow, said the organisation welcomed the news as it would prevent many wildlife deaths.

“We’re very pleased to see the Queensland Government acting

to eliminate more hard-to-recycle plastics, reducing the plastic that is choking our oceans,” Mr Cucow said.

“Whether thick or thin, plastic bags, in particular, are some of the most lethal plastics for wildlife such as turtles, who mistake them for food.

“With balloons, one of the biggest plastic killers of seabirds, a formal ban on the mass release of lighter-than-air balloons is also great news for our wildlife.

“The other plastics banned represent some of the most notable sources of small microplastics, with cotton bud sticks and expanded polystyrene commonly found in ocean cleanup surveys.”

While AMCS welcomed the news, Mr Cucow stressed that more needed to be done to reduce ocean plastic pollution.

“We are disappointed to see that action on plastic cups, coffee cups, and their lids has been delayed, as well as oxo-degradable plastics,” he said.

“Australians generate around 22,500 tonnes of hot cup waste annually, equating to an average of 72.7 cups per person. With most of it difficult to recycle, a lot of plastic pollutes our natural environment.

“Oxo-degradable plastics are not biodegradable. Instead, they add chemicals that cause them to fragment, creating micro plastics that persist in the marine environment.”

While Queensland, South Australia and the ACT move forward with the second wave of their plastics bans, other jurisdictions have yet to implement a ban on single-use plastics.

“With earth-friendly alternatives now widely available, it’s time to ditch killer plastics throughout all of Australia,” Mr Cucow said.

O

NE of Australia’s largest native title claims reached a significant milestone this week when the Honourable Justice Mortimer granted native title rights for four groups covering almost 1.5 million hectares of Cape York, north of Cairns.

After eight years of fighting for their rights in what is known as the Cape York United Number One Claim (CYU#1 Claim), the Ayapathu, Lama Lama, Northern Kaanju and Southern Kaantju Native Title Groups celebrated that their ancestral land rights are finally being recognised.

The Determination hearings held on Tuesday, July 5 and Wednesday, July 6, at the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park in Cairns were the second series of native title Determinations in the CYU#1 Claim.

The total claim area for CYU#1, filed on December 11 2014, covers almost 55% of Cape York.

Northern Kaanju Traditional Owner Joanne Nelson paid tribute to Elders who had paved the way for the landmark Determination, many of whom – including family members – were not alive today to see the fruits of their hard work.

She said her father would be “over the moon to finally sit back and see that his land was actually handed back.”

“His legacy was ‘family, fire and Country. So it’s very important that we look after Country, the family and the fire – burning

the right way at the right time,” Ms Nelson said.

Southern Kaantju Traditional Owner David Nicholls Jnr. and his ancestors spent nearly a century trying to find information about their great grandfather Billy, a former Light Horseman of World War I and member of the stolen generation.

A spelling error in official records had denied them information about Billy and their lands – until a decade ago when the error was discovered.

“What it (the Determination) will mean to us, as the Nicholls family, not only will we get the land back, but we are recognised as part of the Southern Kaantju clan,” Mr Nicholls said.

“It feels like we are taking our great grandfather back now; we are taking him home.”

Lama Lama Traditional Owner Karen Liddy and her family hope to be able to repatriate the remains of their fiercely proud grandfather Harry, forcibly resettled from Lama Lama country to

Injinoo, who tried many times to return to Country.

“What my grandfather and my family taught us was passed down, and we continue to walk that walk for him,” Ms Liddy said.

“All our Elders continued the fight to go home, to get Lama Lama people back on Country. “ CYLC Chair Richie Ah Mat praised the tenacity of all Traditional Owners who have won Country back over the past eight years since the CYU#1 Claim was lodged.

“Some Elders have been waiting much longer, fighting for the recognition of their traditional rights in earlier native title and land claims,” Mr Ah Mat said.

“Their efforts, their determination and their resilience have finally been rewarded.

“The CYU#1 claim has been remarkable in its unity and purpose, joining a number of Traditional Owner Groups in one of the largest and most powerful land claims in Australian history.”

Flights resume QLD Artists on Kiwi route E X H I B I T I O N I N G O R D O N V A L E

By Isabella Guzman Gonzalez

Dr Ken Chapman (left) and Richard Barker (right) welcome the arrivals at Cairns Airport

By Maria Larkins KIWIS LANDING in Cairns on Tuesday morning were treated to a celebratory cake to mark the return of direct flights to and from New Zealand.

Aside from a brief Trans-Tasman Bubble in 2021 it has been 12 months since an Air New Zealand plane has landed in Cairns.

Chief Executive Officer of Cairns Airport, Richard Barker, welcomed the restoration of the Cairns - Auckland route which he said was “a vital step in the recovery of the Far North’s economy”.

“These flights will undoubtedly be a welcome addition to travellers’ itineraries, both for those seeking a warmer, tropical holiday in the Far North and for local adrenalin seekers keen to

hit the slopes in New Zealand,” Barker said.

Three direct flights will operate between Cairns and Auckland each week which will also make it easier for families to re-unite.

It is expected there will be interest from travellers on both sides.

Air New Zealand Chief Customer and Sales Officer Leanne Geraghty said “Kiwis love to escape to Far North Queensland for a warm winter getaway”.

“We know that linking visitors directly to Auckland makes it easier for them to visit our wine regions such as Marlborough and Hawke’s Bay, and ski adventure destinations like Queenstown,” she said.

Chair of Tourism Tropical North Queensland, Ken Chapman

said more than 38,000 visitors from New Zealand travelled to the region in pre-pandemic 2019, staying for an average of 10.5 nights and injecting almost $67 million into the economy.

Dr. Chapman was hopeful a campaign targeting NZ media and influencers in recent months would help increase visitation numbers to pre-pandemic levels.

“The media have been wanting to share Tropical North Queensland’s World Heritage areas, Indigenous culture and city experiences, including the thriving food and beverage scene with their readers and followers,” he said.

I often find another unusual shape.

“I’ve got no preconceived ideas of what I’m going to make; it just evolves and happens.

After a couple of years of absence from the Cairns art scene, Mr Tunbridge saw this exhibition as an opportunity to return with his artwork.

“Working with Maya Wright was also the perfect excuse to get back into making new pieces and putting it out there,” he said.

Maya Wright and Ian Tunbridge had previously met when he helped her with her first exhibition at Trolley when she was 16.

They reconnected and decided to work together on a joint exhibition.

“Maya is more of a traditional artist, and she’s got some very modern ideas,” Mr Tunbridge said.

“It’s always good to get involved with young artists, especially someone as talented as Maya.

“I think this exhibition will be especially significant for her.”

The 20-year-old artist likes to experiment with digital art and lino printing combining traditional art forms and vibrant colours, and ‘So Far’ represents both

LOCAL ARTIST and coffee shop/art gallery owner Ian Tunbridge joined forces with the Sunshine Coast-based young artist Maya Wright to bring their exhibition ‘So Far’ at the Trolley Café in Gordonvale, opening on Friday, July 8 from 5pm.

‘So Far’ is the opportunity for both artists to portray their individual art’s growth, maturity and progression.

Mr Tunbridge has been experimenting with assemblage art for over nine years. Assemblage is an art form made by assembling disparate everyday objects that usually the artists scavenge themselves.

For Mr Tunbridge, his shed became a source of inspiration, and he started collecting rusty bits and pieces you would find in a garage.

“I don’t follow any rhyme or reason,” he said.

“I get inspiration by finding a particular shape or colour, something that’s broken, and I start from just one piece.

“I have quite a large collection of bits and pieces around my shed that I use for my artwork.

“As I’m looking for one thing,

Tunbridge is also the owner of Trolley Café, which he has transformed into an artistic haven where FNQ artists can display their work, and the community can enjoy coffee and art in a comfy and inviting lounge environment.

“The opening night should be an interesting one,” he said.

“It will start at 5pm and go until 8pm; there will be music, you’ll get to meet Maya and me, and it’s going to be lovely.

“Trolley is quite an intimate space, and if you’ve never come up to Gordonvale and had a look at our little coffee shop and art gallery, then I think you’ll enjoy the experience because it’s a very comfortable space.”

‘So Far’ will be on display at Trolley Café until mid-August, and the café is open from Tuesdays through Saturdays to enjoy a cup of coffee and beautiful artwork.

Art enthusiasts who want to attend the opening can visit the Trolley Café Facebook page and message them to book.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Emergency tree removal at Goomboora Park

Want to be heard?

Send a text to the Editor 0438 195 408 I agree totally with Cairns Mayor regarding scooters in the C.B.D. they are very dangerous and have only two wheels.

If they had three wheels, they would be much safer.

Paddy, Mt Sheridan Dear Sir, As you see on the news there are flooding in areas of Queensland, News South Wales and there will probably be more states affected. There are many homes without power and rads are being washed away by heavy rain. All politicians must work together for the benefit of the nation. Australia must be a neutral country as in a war all are losers.

Australia is one of the biggest islands in the world and we have mines which produce iron ore, coal, gold, and many other minerals that can be exported to other countries. There are areas that can produce crops for export as well as cattle and sheep.

That is why we should have rail lines and roads to all areas as well as electricity lines. We should have wind and solar power in some inland areas such as at Alive Springs and other inland areas.

Surveyors and engineers will know the best creeks and rivers, so they flow inland and where to put bridges. Rail lines should be about a meter above ground level.

In low lying areas and in sandy areas a vibrator should be used to pack the loose soil for new rail lines. In all areas there

will be dual lines.

There would be transmission lines, so electricity is available in all areas. This would open up more areas that can be cut up into blocks that can be sold for more agriculture and crops that can be sold to other countries.

Without water all land is desert, but inland areas can be drilled for water and when drilling, minerals will be found that will be a bonus for the country.

Deposits of bauxite will be found, and this will supply the aluminium used in the new transmission lines.

There will be areas for wind power and there will be more windmills, so water is available for all including wildlife.

With more water, trees will be planted as well as fruit trees and many orchards will be able to supply fruit for market.

Australia will soon be the bigger producer of food products, and these too will be exported as production increases.

There will be more tourism, and some will return to start a business or other project such as a sheep or cattle property.

With more agriculture and exports Australia will be the best and safest country in the world. There will are talented people Parliament, and they will work together to make Australia the best and a neutral country. In our large cities there are many people out of work.

That is why there will be workers available for new rail lines and developing the inland areas of Australia.

COUNCIL has undertakenemergency works to remove three trees at Goomboora Park in Brinsmead.

All three trees have been impacted by the fungus Pyrrhoderma noxium (brown root rot), are severely decayed, and pose an immediate risk to park users.

The fungus attacks tree roots causing decay, which cuts off water and nutrient supply to the crown and results in tree death.One of the decayed trees was removed Tuesday 5th as a matter of urgency as it was leaning towards the playground and barbecue area and was located very close to the toilet block.

The other two trees were removed Wednesday.

Council recently undertook a mapping exercise of trees in the park which alerted officers to several trees that displayed disease and decay.

Following inspection and further assessment, it was determined that the three fig trees were a public safety risk as the park is well utilised.

The Torres Strait region has made a milestone step towards self-determination with Gur A Baradharaw Kod Torres Strait Sea and Land Council (GBK) taking over the native title service delivery function from the Torres Strait Regional Authority (TSRA).

On July 1, 2022, GBK became the Native Title Service Provider (NTSP) for the Torres Strait.

GBK – a 100% Indigenouscontrolled not-for-profit body – is now responsible for delivering native title legal and support services to native title claimants, native title holders and Prescribed Bodies Corporate (PBCs).

GBK Chairperson, Ned David, said the appointment as a native title service provider was the organisation’s founding goal, which celebrated its 10th anniversary this year.

“The transition to GBK acknowledges the level of cultural authority GBK has as the peak body for all local PBCs, under both Aboriginal lore and Ailan Kastom,” Mr David said.

“This is an exciting time. It also makes me a little nervous. It is a meaningful step for GBK. “It is now up to GBK to advance and protect native title rights across the region.

“On behalf of all Torres Strait Traditional Owners, I acknowledge those Elders, including Torres Strait Islander and Aboriginal Elders from the Kaurareg people, who have championed the cause, and I pay respect to those Elders who are no longer with us.”

On June 30, 2022, TSRA ceased being the Native Title Representative Body (NTRB).

After 26 years of serving Traditional Owners in the region, TSRA no longer provides native title services.

TSRA will continue to deliver its other programmes – economic development, regional infrastructure, fisheries, culture, arts and heritage, environmental management, healthy communities and safe communities – for Torres

Strait Islanders and Aboriginal people in the region.

TSRA Acting Chairperson, Portfolio Member for Native Title and Member for Badu, Horace Baira, said for 26 years, the TSRA has provided quality and culturally appropriate professional services.

He thanked the current and former staff of TSRA’s Native Title Office for their hard work and dedication to maintaining, protecting and progressing the native title interests of Traditional Owners of the Torres Strait.

He also congratulated GBK for its determination and dedication in achieving its key aspiration of becoming a native title service provider.

Mr Baira said the transfer of the native title service to GBK signalled a new era for the Torres Strait.

To mark the historic occasion, GBK hosted a handover gala on Thursday Island on June 29, 2022.

Commemorating the evening, TSRA gifted GBK a Dhari crafted by Meriam artist Mr Rodney Mabo and a traditional carving by Boigu artist Ishmael Gibuma, inspired by myths and legends of the Torres Strait.

The tradition of gift-giving is a long-established practice in Torres Strait culture, and the artwork symbolises the ‘passing of the baton’ of traditional knowledge and customs from one generation to another.

Mr David said it would be an honour to display the artwork in GBK’s native title office.

“The gifts carry a strong symbolic meaning,” he said.

“Meriam people are the reason all Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal people enjoy native title rights across the country, and the carving – well, the legend of Kusa Kap the dugong hunter is familiar to us all.

“Kusa Kap the eagle symbolises power, freedom, truth and honour.”

PORT DOUGLAS TO MOSSMAN 4:30PM - 6:30PM WEEKDAYS

Douglas locals in support of a cure would welcome your donations

Douglas Locals Working on a Chocolate ‘FIX’

SEVERAL amazing members of the Douglas Shire Community, together with colleagues of Mossman Support Services had an early and damp start to their day last Thursday. Despite the cooling rain and 6am kick off, the event was well supported under the beautiful Mossman Raintrees, with funds being raised for an extremely good cause.

The fact that the weather was a little non tropical actually made it perfect for those

needing a warm slow cooked Hot Chocolate and a bit of comfort food in the form of a delicious home-made Chocolate Brownie.

For those feeling the winter chill of 21 degrees, it was also an opportunity to buy a gorgeous warm knitted Beanie.

With gold coin donations being offered for the chocolate feast and beverage, plus the addition of the Beanie sales for just ten bucks, all proceeds are now heading in

the direction of ‘Carrie Beanies for Brain Cancer’ to assist in ongoing research against this awful disease.

Apart from the superb effort on the day, thanks should also be given to those who lovingly prepared the Brownies and the wonderful ladies at the Port Douglas QCWA for generously donating the Beanies.

Great strides have been made over the years to combat many forms of cancer and much of that has been

achieved by good people raising funds through events just like this.

Brain Cancer is a particularly nasty illness and occurs when abnormal cells within the brain grow in an uncontrolled way.

These cancers include primary brain tumours, which start in the brain and secondary tumours, or metastases, which are caused by cancers that began in another part of the body.

There are more than 40

major types of brain tumours, which can either be benign or malignant. Because the brain is enclosed in the skull, even benign ones can be dangerous if they expand.

One scary statistic is that approximately 2000 new cases are diagnosed, each year, in Australia alone.

All considered, I think we should raise a mug of Hot Chocolate to all of the hard-working fund raisers for their efforts and in particular, this week, to our choco-

late loving, beanie wearing early birds from the Douglas Shire who successfully raised $600. A special mention also to Kristy from Kah Veh Coffee Company for bringing along her coffee van to be part of the event All this sweet talk has made me feel quite peckish, so for now it’s Gazza signing out!

COULD YOU BE AUSTRALIA’S NEXT MASTER CHEF?

MasterChef Australia 14 Judges Melissa Leong, Jock Zonfrillo and Andy Allen

HAVE you ever wondered what it’d be like to cook in the MasterChef kitchen? Or dreamt of plating up your signature dish for the MasterChef Judges? Well now is your chance.

Applications for the 15th season of MasterChef are now open.

Yes, you read that right, MasterChef has been on our screens for fourteen straight years and has transformed dozens of home cooks into some of the country’s most loved culinary masters, many of whom have sprung from Queensland.

Think Tessa Boersma, Montana Hughes, Ben Borsht and Sum Yung Guys’ Matt Sinclair. They all got their break cooking under the lights and cameras of Australia’s favourite cooking show.

With the current Fans & Favourites season nearing its finale, the team behind the screen have already begun their country wide search for contestants for 2023.

So, how do you score yourself a chance of turning from loungeroom food critic into TV cooking star (not to mention a shot at winning some life changing prize

money) ... it’s as simple as making a cheese toastie … APPLY! Here’s the run down for how it all works: Head to the Channel 10 casting page (see below) and register your details. Now the team know you’re interested. Next, you’ll need to complete the application form. You’ll be asked for a profile picture of your sweet self and at least three pictures of dishes that you have recently cooked. They do not need to be professional photos but do try to make sure they aren’t blurry and that they show off your food in a way you are happy with. You also have the option of uploading a short video of yourself cooking and/or telling the producers why you love cooking and why you want to be on the show. This video is encouraged but not mandatory.

The application will ask some questions about the two topics you know best – you, and your cooking. All questions are designed for the casting producers to get to know you. The best advice here is to just be honest and be yourself.

Auditions are set to be held in major cities in the coming months (something that hasn’t been able to happen for the past two years due to COVID restrictions) and if you’re invited to audition this is your chance to show the producers what you’re made of by cooking them a dish to knock their socks off.

Lastly, the show is for amateur home cooks (professional chefs need not apply) and contestants must be 18 years or older and an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident. Most importantly, you’ve just got to have a passion for food and cooking.

Applications close Sunday 14th August 2022. So don’t hesitate any longer, sign up, apply, and start practising that wow signature dish.

And the next time your family and friends encourage you to apply for MasterChef – you can ask them to start ironing your apron.

Apply here: www.10play.com. au/casting MasterChef Australia airs at 7.30pm Sunday-Thursdays, only on 10 and 10 Play on Demand.

Wayne’s

World

G’day Tropicairnsians, When we are young, we believe we are ten foot tall and bullet proof!!

But the reality is that we are not. Now I am one of the biggest mongrels, in fact, I have given this poor body a very hard and brutal life. I’ve been hit by prime movers, cars, cattle, horses and I’ve comea-gutser off push bikes, motor bikes, horses, bulls, wild boars and the list of absolutely stupid behaviour goes on and on and on.

Pushing the limits is what I use to do and it looks like the markers have been set against me, since I’ve recently been diagnosed with an aggressive melanoma requiring surgery. This has been fast tracked and has sort of given me a startling insight into the fact that one day I may get broken.

Realising suddenly, that anyone can get the big “C” got me thinking about the organizations out there that help with your journey through treatment and hopefully recovery.

This brings the subject around to a great group called Relay for Life who is all about celebrating those who have survived Cancer, remembering those we have lost and fighting back with those who have won the battle.

A few years ago I was invited to go for a walk around the athletic track at Barlow Park and told to come dressed for fun, well I turned up as a penguin and joined in with

a hundred plus others doing laps around this track dressed as all sorts life’s creations. I spent the time laughing, smiling and having a fantastic time walking and talking with some bloody interesting people, ones who have cancer, survivors of cancer, relatives and friends of those since past from cancer, plus a whole heap of people who just wanted to help raise bucket loads of money to cover the cost of the mental and health journey.

There is a small fee to join a team or maybe create one yourself and come and have a great time with a night full to the brim with live entertainment from local musician’s and dance groups, with competitions for wacky costumes and the best decorated gazebos.

Not to forget, there will be food

stalls to help keep up that energy level for doing heaps of laps.

When the sun goes down, the candles are lit and bag pipers play their tunes as the walking continues with remembrance, reflection and support for those going through some tough battles.

Now this year I plan to put on the red suit and jump on Rudolph and join Relay for Life again on the 30th of July starting at 2pm at Barlow Park to get some much needed exercise and enjoy a whole heap of smiling and laughing, so if you have some spare time please come down and join us and give me a high 5, handshake or a hug.

To smile is living.

Wayne.

Youth urban art project brightens Cairns parks TEENAGERS making their way from the youth justice system into employment have been beautifying parks, footpaths and underpasses in Cairns as part of Council’s Youth Urban Art Program.

A young team from the Transitions 2 Success Youth Justice program have been learning new skills, prepping and cleaning mural sites, and creating designs for four new public artworks throughout the region.

Sites for murals are allocated against a set of criteria, primarily focusing on areas impacted by graffiti and tagging.

Division 3 Councillor Cathy Zeiger said the new murals, led by artists Daniel (Wally) Wallwork and Violet Shaban, had been handpainted or sprayed on some unique sites in the latest round of the Youth Urban Art project.

“The team had some really interesting ‘canvasses’ to work with this year – an outdoor ping pong table in Coast Watcher Park in Trinity Beach, a skate park at Edmonton, an electricity box at Mooroobool and, in my council division of Woree, an underpass and footpath,” Cr Zeiger said.

“The results are colourful, beautiful, and tell stories about the people and places in the area – they will be a source of great pride for the local neighbourhoods.

“Projects like these provide young people in Cairns with op-

portunities for increased connection, participation, mentorship and creative expression.

“These particular young people have given a gift to the community through their hard work and creative ideas.”

Mr Wallwork led the project at the Todd Park / Edmonton skate park and Gordon Creek sites.

“Before we started on the design, we talked about what’s around us, what happens in the area of Gordon Creek and the activities people do, and from there, the design has grown pretty organically,” Mr Wallwork said.

“I grew up here myself and have lived in the area all my life, so I know it pretty well.

“With the design, we’ve worked up tracks and footprints of people, birds, tyres and painted these on the footpath, underpass and pillars.

“The kids have been working with tools and cleaning products, talking, and learning about blending colours as part of the project.”

The Youth Urban Arts Project has been running for several years. The 2022 project brings to 18 the total number of murals painted throughout the region, from Babinda to the Northern Beaches, as part of the Youth Urban Art Program.

BUDGET KEEPS SERVICES AND PLANNING ON TRACK

DOUGLAS Shire Council has stared down global and local challenges to deliver a 2022/23 Annual Budget which maintains existing services and balances the books sooner than expected.

The $53.6 million-dollar-budget was endorsed with a $13.7 million dollar capital works program featuring 57 projects.

Council will spend more than $21 million on material and services providing opportunity for local businesses to work with Council.

Douglas Shire Mayor Michael Kerr said he was proud of Council staff and the community for working together in such difficult times.

“Despite facing skyrocketing costs and global challenges, this budget allows Council to continue to deliver the infrastructure and services which our community deserves and requires,” he said.

“People can see this right across the economy, whether it is going to the grocery store, putting fuel in your car, or building something - costs are increasing at an elevated rate, and these are also real costs for Council to consider when budgeting to provide for our shire.”

WHAT’S ON

www.cairnslocalnews.com.au

“I believe this team of Councillors has managed to get the best result we can to keep the broader general rate rise for residents as low as possible and below CPI, while keeping this Council in a good financial position.”

“This is a solid budget which keeps the broader general rate rises below the current CPI of 6%, maintains service levels and ensures we continue on track to financial sustainability considerably earlier than first predicted at the height of the COVID pandemic.”

A spending breakdown of the budget’s $13.7M capital works program includes: • Transport & Marine - $4.7M • Water Supply - $3.27M • Council & Community Facilities - $1.83M • Resource Management - $1.5M • Plant and Equipment - $995K • Wastewater - $905K • Drainage - $500K Council also continued to address historical inequities in the rating structure through stage 2 of an independent review into its rating categories. During this review, a 3.9% general rate increase, which falls below the current CPI of

6%, was applied across the board with variations to different categories.

For a category one property, where a ratepayer lives at the address, the median rate increase is $43 per year, or 82 cents per week.

For a property in residential rating category five, where a ratepayer does not live at the address, the median rate increase is $93 per year, or $1.78 per week. This is the same median rate increase for building units where the ratepayer does not live at the address.

Council considered feedback from organisations and ratepayers when undertaking the review, as well as recent land valuations completed by the Department of Resources.

“Compared to other similar-sized regions across the state, Douglas is in a strong position and despite our small population, we are able to offer a wide, varied and high level of service to our rate base,” Mayor Kerr said.

“I believe that this is a sensible budget which is designed to set this Council up to weather the increasing challenges facing all governments and businesses in coming years.”

IN BRIEF

PHOTO PROJECT CAPTURES HISTORY OF PORT DOUGLAS A WALK down memory lane at five well-known locations in Port Douglas has been captured thanks to a Douglas Shire Council grant.

The Douglas Shire Historical Society (DSHS) continues to share local history with the community and visitors through five new photo posts installed earlier this year.

The additional posts are located at Sugar Wharf, St Mary’s Church, Faugh-a-Ballagh train, Clink Theatre and Port Douglas Cemetery.

MOSSMAN GOLF CLUB GETS A SLICE OF RV MARKET Travellers have rolled into Mossman Golf Club’s new RV camping area.

The new 18-site RV park to officially tee off the club’s foray into the tourist accommodation market.

COUNCIL TURNS ON $AVINGS W I T H

P R O G R A M

PORT Douglas residents with a new smart water meter could save money on their next water bill.

Douglas Shire Council installed the new meters earlier this year and has already reduced water leaks by approximately 200 kL per day - a saving of about five backyard swimming pools.

Councillors endorsed pumping $1.1 million into expanding the smart water meter program to all properties with reticulated water supply in Douglas Shire.

Douglas Shire Mayor Michael Kerr said the smart water meters formed part of Council’s water security strategy for the region.

“Douglas is a world-class tourist destination that needs a reliable water supply,” he said.

“The smart water meter program helps Council to detect leaks quicker than ever before and reduce the amount of water being wasted. “Council is investing in projects which increase our water supply whilst finding and fixing leaks in our network remains a fundamental focus of this Council.”

KEY WATER PROJECTS IN 2022/23 ANNUAL BUDGET • Smart Water Meter Program - $1.1 million • Water Network Service Renewals Program - $785,000 • Mossman Water Treatment Plant - UF Cartridge Renewal - $620,000 • Cooya Beach Reservoir Connect and Commission - $200,000

E X P A N S I O N

• Water Main Renewal - $200,000 • Mossman River Intake Approvals $100,000 Council continues to seek the relevant permits for a secondary intake along the Mossman River with a view to commencing construction as soon as practically possible.

WATER SECURITY BACKGROUND NOTES: • Based on current average water usage and projected population growth, the demand for water by the Mossman and Port Douglas communities will reach the limit of Council’s existing water licence to take water from Rex Creek by 2025-2026.

• Historically, the allowable take of water from Rex Creek has reduced during the dry season, coinciding with peak tourism season and increased water demand.

In recent years, the hot, dry weather has extended later into December meaning a prolonged period of restricted water usage.

• Water restrictions can have an impact on tourism-dependant hotels, resorts and short-term accommodation providers in the region, along with the landscaping and horticultural-based businesses that service them.

Douglas Shire Council’s Team Leader of Water Reticulation, Mitch Simpson, checks on the Smart Water Meters in Port Douglas.

MORE SUBSIDIES FOR PENSIONER RATEPAYERS Pensioners will get more help paying their Council rates under a revised rebates policy.

Douglas Shire Council updated its Rates Pensioner Remission policy to allow rates assistance to be provided per eligible

pensioner, per property.

No application is necessary as eligibility for rebates will be automatically processed by Council Officers before the next rates notice is issued in July 2022.

LAW AND ORDER A

FRUSTRATED police magistrate, Mr. Howard St. George, appealed to the Colonial Secretary for help on October 18, 1876:

“We arrived here yesterday. As the Chinese on board were not allowed to land by the mob, Inspector Clohesy and myself tried all we could do, and got one man ashore, but he and the two police constables and ourselves were rushed into the water. I strongly recommend that a strong force of police should be sent up, in order to vindicate the law.”

The Government took immediate action and despatched additional constables to assist Inspector Clohesy and his two men. There would be 19 men to escort the Chinese ashore and police the mob at Trinity Bay. On Monday December 25, 1876, The Brisbane Courier reported Edmund Morey, Police Magistrate at Banana, had been appointed Police Magistrate at Cairns. He was P. M. until December 31, 1878.

As the township grew, it became apparent more permanent accommodation was required for the police constables and any lawbreakers.

Tenders were advertised in The Telegraph on May 23, 1883, for the construction of a Lock-up and Police Quarters in Cairns. Tenderers were to submit their prices and a preliminary deposit of £20 to the Department of Public Works by 4 p.m. on June 15, 1883.

On June 23 it was reported in The Week that only two tenders had been received. They were from Thos. Watson, six months, £700; and from Louis Severin (by telegram), four months, £930. Watson’s tender was accepted.

Four months later tenders were called for the construction of a spacious new courthouse in Cairns. On November 10, the Darling Downs Gazette reported that Thomas Hannah had been contracted with a tender of £1297, six months. The cost of the brick chimney was £150 extra.

Construction of the new judicial building was well underway in April 1884. The building was raised 3ft off the ground and surrounded by a 7ft wide verandah. Facing Abbott-street was an “ornamental porch entrance”.

The courtroom measured 40ft by 25ft and provided accommodation for the bench, dock, jury box, reporters’ table and a spacious public gallery. At the rear of the courthouse were four offices opening onto a veranda facing the Esplanade.

It was officially opened on Tuesday, July 1, 1884, by the police magistrate, Mr. W. R. O. Hill and fellow magistrates, R. T. Hartley, A. Meston, R. A. Kingsford, Thomas Swallow, George Adams, and D. Patience.

AFTER two years, Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF) is back, opening its 13th anniversary showcase on Wednesday at Cairns Convention Centre with a five-day program of time-honoured and new events spanning visual and performing arts culture, and storytelling.

This year’s theme, ‘Masters of Country’, weaves a colourful thread throughout the multi-arts program connecting Australia’s premier Art Fair and new Big Sculpture Showcase to the discourse of Wednesday’s symposium and Friday’s much-loved

fashion performance.

CIAF 2022 began with the symposium, drawing artists, professionals, and academics together to discuss issues and share their arts practice with a live audience.

Day one culminated in CIAF’s Opening Night Party and Art Awards, providing the first glimpse for guests of the Art Fair and Art Market along with performances by Barry Cedric, Jem Cassar-Daily and dancing from Boigu Island and Lockhart River.

Day two kickstarted a busy four-day program at Cairns Convention Centre, along with exhibi-

www.cairnslocalnews.com.au

tion openings and a world theatre premiere at key cultural hubs and galleries across Cairns.

Friday’s highlight will be two fashion performances at Tanks Arts Centre, followed by the hilarious Aboriginal Comedy All-Stars.

Saturday is all about the music, with Miiesha and Frank Yamma performing at Music in the Tank before ending on Sunday afternoon with a lively performance finale.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the CIAF’s five-day program allowed local, interstate, and inter-

national guests to explore North Queensland’s rich artistic legacy.

“CIAF helps showcase the longest continuous living culture in the world, and it has been a privilege to see the art fair evolve over the past 13 years,” the Premier said.

“From starting out as Australia’s first arts market featuring works of the First Nations peoples of Queensland to navigating the pandemic online, and now resuming a comprehensive program of performing arts and children’s programs.

“Our Government has invested

more than $215,000 in supporting CIAF this year. It’s a major part of our commitment to providing arts and cultural experiences that are unique to Queensland.

“Over the next few days, visitors will gain a greater cultural understanding of the First Nations peoples of Queensland as we mark the significance of NAIDOC Week.”

CIAF Chair Tom Mosby said the 2022 program brings together artistic, social, and cultural experiences while also creating vital economic opportunities for Queensland artists.

“What CIAF does so well, through its association with art centres and local and commercial galleries, is provide an accessible platform for people to embrace Queensland’s distinctive Indigenous arts movement and cultural practice that would otherwise remain unknown.

“CIAF is able to present the arts and cultures from some of the most isolated communities of Cape York and the Torres Strait in one vibrant setting over five remarkable days,” Mr Mosby said.

TRELIVINGS REINVENTS environmentally conscious, ethically and sustainably sourced and fully Australianmade products.

Treliving has also partnered with Bedford Packaging Group and their latest Jarrah Honey collection includes skincare, body care and home fragrance.

This range was thoughtfully designed to include a simple black and white colour scheme with golden accents, making a very sleek addition to your beauty and wellbeing products.

Jarrah Honey is the signature therapeutic ingredient and soul of this collection, and it is sustainably sourced from the tall forests of the Darling Range in Western Australia.

The Karragullen forests of the Darling Range are in the ancient country of the Whadjuk Nyoongar people. The Whadjuk Nyoongar people have been Traditional Owners and custodians of this land in the southwest of Western Australia for over 45,000 years.

Because of its antimicrobial properties and beneficial antioxidants, Jarrah Honey has a Total Activity rating of 50+, achieving medical status due to the natural enzymes in the honey.

Ms Gunning said the Jarrah Honey collection was unique because of the perfect

AUSTRALIAN brand Trelivings, based in South Australia and originally founded in 1984, was relaunched and reinvented in 2021 by parent company Cocco Corporation.

In this new journey, Trelivings wants to showcase the most uniquely Australian body care and home fragrance products worldwide, and they intend to do so with their latest Jarrah Honey Collection.

General Manager at Trelivings, Stanzee Gunning, said relaunching Trelivings had opened new and exciting opportunities for the brand.

“Relaunching Trelivings has allowed us to expand the Cocco Corporation business with a modern twist (with its premium designs) and broad market appeal (given its affordable price point),” Ms Gunning said.

“Sourcing an Australian native ingredient like the Jarrah Honey is part of the company’s DNA to showcase Australia’s exceptional botanic and organic diversity.”

Trelivings ingredients are sourced from different areas in regional Australia, where they work with growers and producers to source the highest quality products that showcase Australia’s exceptional botanical and organic diversity.

Beyond high-quality ingredients, Trelivings focuses on offering cruelty-free,

combination of ingredients that highlight the best qualities of the Jarrah Honey.

“Research into the Jarrah Honey has found the activity rating was approximately 90% greater than the average activity of Manuka and has been shown to have higher antioxidant strength,” she said.

“We have combined this with native desert fruit extracts - quandong, wattleseed and desert lime - for their ability to improve the texture and look of skin.”

The Jarrah Honey collection includes hand and body crème, body wash, a daily facial cleanser, daily facial crème, nourishing & nail crème, hand and body scrub and a rich, thick body mousse.

ENTERTAINMENT

CAIRNS SHOW C E L E B R AT E S 131 Y E A R S

tanksartscentre.com

SATURDAY 16 JULY The Great Northern Jazz Explosion comprises some of Australia’s best jazz musicians. How lucky for us that they happen to live in Cairns.

By Isabella Guzman Gonzalez

T

HE largest regional agricultural show in Australia, Cairns Show, is back with a full program after two years of COVID-19 disruptions with events for the whole family to enjoy from July 13 to 15 at the Cairns Showgrounds.

A staple of the city of Cairns, the first-ever Cairns Show took place from September 9-11, 1891, with the judging of cattle, pigs, poultry and horse events being the main attractions, and its first show ground was a reserve between James and Thomas Street.

300 people attended the event.

Since then, Cairns Show has been revitalised and relocated due to its popularity until it became what we know today. Cairns Show has kept the tradition alive while promoting the best of our local businesses, produce and agriculture.

Cairns Show president Ian Allen said it was exciting to be celebrating this year’s show after the last two years’ challenges.

“It’s great to be able to celebrate 131 years,” Mr Allen said.

“And we’re fortunate that we will have a lot of sun by Friday and the perfect weather for people to enjoy the Show.

“There is no crowd like the Cairns crowd to surround the community and come out and support their local Show better than any other show in Australia.

“We’re lucky to return with a full program this year.”

Mr Allen said that there are many highlights to the 2022 Show.

“We have a new entertainment act in the centre ring, The Rooftop Express Brumby Muster Show, and it’s the first time it’s ever been to Cairns,” he said.

“Returning this year will be the Showtime FMX, a highlight

for the younger generation.

“Plus, we have the fireworks for the three nights of the show and the animal exhibits.

“This year, we also have a new ride called The Twister, and it’s the first time it’s been to Cairns.”

The 2022 Cairns Show promises three days full of entertainment and tradition, and Mr Allen said he wanted to encourage the Cairns community to join in the fun and support the local industry.

“I just hope people come and enjoy themselves once they go through the gate,” he said.

“There’s just so much to do and have a look at.

“We try and support as many local businesses as possible, and this is your opportunity to come and support them as well.”

May 21 to Jun 21

You are in a high energy, get it all done, mood and you’ll have little patience with those who are slacking off. Try to curb your bad habits. Keep your thoughts and opinions to yourself and you won’t get dragged into an unsavoury debate.

Your mate is going to want and need some attention. Look into intellectual and physical games that will test your abilities. Don’t be too eager to spend money that you really don’t have. Consider making residential changes; either moves or renovations could payoff.

Find out more if you want to start your own business. You may be overreacting to a situation at hand.

Take the time to help those less fortunate. You may have been trying to do too much, leaving yourself exhausted and open to colds and infections.

Your ability to charm others will bring added popularity. Don’t let any small misunderstandings get in the way. Talk to those in a position of power about your intentions. Some of your new friends may not be that trustworthy.

Don’t hold back; go with the flow and take a bit of a chance. Don’t make mountains out of molehills if you want to avoid conflict. Don’t evade important issues; you may find yourself backed into a corner.

Make alternate plans just in case you need to make a career shift.

Friends and relatives may not understand your needs. Some time spent with that special someone should be your intent.

Join humanitarian groups and let your leadership ability take over. Be prepared to make compensations and adjustments.

Pamper yourself; the self esteem it brings you will be most gratifying. Lovers will be less than accommodating, and decisions regarding personal direction a necessity. Avoid situations that make you feel as if you’ve neglected the ones you love.

Go out with friends. Look into ways to make your home more comfortable. You can enjoy your involvement in organizations that make charitable contributions. Try looking into new ways to make extra money.

You can make money if you concentrate on producing services that will make domestic chores easier. Don’t let those close to you get under your skin. Make changes around your house and plan to do some entertaining. You can buy or sell if you’re so inclined.

Try to keep to yourself; work diligently on domestic chores and responsibilities. Do not ruffle feathers if possible. Your ability to be a self-starter will help get things done and motivate others. You will find your personal partner taxing this week.

Think of starting a new business or emotional partnership. Educational courses will be stimulating and successful. You can stabilize your personal relationship if you’re willing to communicate honestly. Confusion regarding other people’s money and joint ventures will come to a head.

Cultural activities open your eyes to new ways of doing things. Take the time to do something nice for your friends and relatives. Changes regarding your image will bring you greater confidence. Get involved in creative projects that will enhance your earning power.

SPORT

CAIRNS HOCKEY celebrates Indigenous culture THE Rene Archer Indigenous Hockey Round is coming to Cairns on Friday, July 22, at the Cairns Hockey Grounds as part of the Aspire to be Deadly Program aiming to promote the participation of Indigenous athletes in sport and celebrate Indigenous culture.

The event will begin at 5 pm at the Cairns Hockey Grounds.

It will feature a traditional Welcome to Country and acknowledgements, cultural displays, and stalls with traditional food, art, music and storytelling. The participating club teams will also play in unique uniforms designed by Indigenous hockey players and a NAIDOC-designed shirt that will be available for the general public to purchase.

The significant increase in awareness of indigenous culture across Cairns Hockey

in 2021 has led to the clubs and association members joining with Operations and Aspire to be Deadly Program to commit to and participate in a specially designated round of hockey.

The Rene Archer Indigenous Hockey Round is named in honour of hockey coach Rene Archer.

She began coaching a team from Paramatta Park in the 1960s and continued committing and coaching this team into the 1980s.

Rene became a member of the Junior Committee and Chairperson of that committee at Cairns Hockey from the 1960s through to the 1990s and helped start and drive the junior representative program to attend state carnivals.

During this time, Hockey QLD did not recognize any primary school hockey. So Rene formed a committee

with the regional hockey centres with the full backing of CHA and started a Primary Schools carnival which in time turned into the Qld U13 State title – now the biggest annual state hockey championship.

Rene Archer was made a life member of Cairns Hockey for her contribution to the development and the advancement of junior hockey across Cairns and regional areas and was awarded an OAM for her services to the community.

The 2021 Indigenous Hockey Round took place on July 9, 2021, and was highly embraced by the community, which was an incentive to include it in the calendar for 2022.

TINAROO RAID 2022

Peculiar propulson race 2021

1948 Original Chris Craft from America

Aspire to be Deadly Program participants 2021

IF you are interested in boats and the wonderful ways to propel them, then the Great Tinaroo Raid is the place to see it all.

Held at the Tinaroo Sailing Club, Black Gully Road, the Wooden Boat Association of Cairns runs this event every year over the July long weekend. The wooden boats and propulsion systems range from sailing and rowing boats, to steam launches, pedal powered paddle and jet boats, canoes, kayaks, putt-putts, and even a beautiful 1948 original Chris Craft recently brought over from America. One boat even has

a propulsion system reminiscent of 2 fish tails. They are all wooden boats, mostly built by members.

The Raid starts after lunch on Friday 15th July, with the launching of any new boats and relaxed cruising on the lake. The action hots up on Saturday 16th, commencing at 9:30 with the Peculiar Propulsion Race featuring the more weird and bizarre methods that the members can imagine as ways to propel a boat. Sometimes without much success, but always with lots of enthusiasm.

The Paddling and Rowing Race follow at 11:30am, with a

rest over lunch before the Seagull Race gets underway at 2:30pm.

Using only ancient Seagull outboards, such as your fathers and grandfathers used, a wide variety of boats compete for the winner’s trophy. Mayhem is ensured, reliability is not!

After Best Boat voting, the day concludes, followed by an informal relaxed Sunday morning sail, cruise, steam, paddle or row, take your pick.

Entry to the public is free, and boats will be on the water from Friday afternoon 15th July to lunchtime Sunday 17th.

Cairns to host the run4reef event O

N October 16, Cairns will welcome the world’s first simultaneous running event and a fellow 20 other host cities to collectively bring together more than 100,000 runners with a single mission – protect the Great Barrier Reef.

The inaugural run4reef international event will span 21 cities across the two countries, leveraging world-leading timing technology to unite thousands of runners of all abilities across 1km, 5km and 10km fun runs and a special elite 10km run.

Supported by Queensland Government and Australian Government funding, run4reef’s first international event comes off the back of local events

being run in Port Douglas by the climate conservation group run4planet since 2013.

Now, the group has the vision to take their passion for saving the Reef globally. run4reef registrations will raise much-needed funds to help protect the Reef, including developing restoration programs like the innovative ‘plant a coral’ initiative. Funds raised directly from event registrations, and peer-to-peer fundraising will go to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.

The international event stems from humble beginnings, which run4reef Race Director and Olympian Steve Moneghetti said played a significant role in

today’s vision.

“Running has been the fastest growing recreation in the last 10 years, mostly because it’s so simple,” Mr Moneghetti said.

“Adding a reason to run, global climate action not only gets more people involved but it transforms a heavily individual sport into one where people are connected.

“We first started our run for the Reef events locally in Port Douglas back in 2013, where we hosted a marathon festival with the local community but adding this larger cause to a simple run really resonated with people.

“Since

then, we’ve better understood the significant threats to the health of the Great Barrier Reef and have seen a substantial increase in the number of global citizens looking to make a change before it’s too late.

“The Great Barrier Reef truly is the barometer of climate change, and we must act now.

“This year, we can’t wait to see the first international run4reef event come to life,” he said.

The events are supported by internationally acclaimed marine scientist and leading authority on coral reef science and conservation, Great Barrier Reef Foundation Chief Scientist Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg,

who said the Reef needs action now.

“The science has been clear for a long time – climate change is the number one threat to the Great Barrier Reef,” Professor Hoegh-Guldberg said.

“Acting to reduce global emissions to zero over the coming decade is imperative.”

He emphasised that there is no other way to call it; the future of the Great Barrier Reef is now on a knife-edge.

“Not acting is not an option; we must act now to save the Great Barrier Reef as a bastion of Australia’s biodiversity and economic opportunity,” he said.

“I’m looking

forward to seeing tens of thousands of Australians, and New Zealanders get involved in this exciting event and support the future of our irreplaceable coral reefs.” run4reef events will take place on Sunday, October 16 2022, across Adelaide, Ballarat, Bendigo, Brisbane, Canberra, Cairns, Central Coast, Darwin, Geelong, Gold Coast, Hobart, Launceston, Melbourne, Moreton Bay, Newcastle, Sydney, Perth, Thursday Island, Townsville across Australia, and Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand.

Cairns Show July 2022

The Cairns Show Association is proud to announce our three wonderful 2022 Cairns Show Ambassadors: Young Rural Ambassador Jacy Evans, Rural Ambassador Tatum Taffs and Cairns Showgirl Shynade Smith!

These strong women will represent the Cairns Show Association for the next twelve months, at various Agricultural events and functions throughout Cairns and Far North Queensland by promoting and supporting the Agricultural Industries and Show Movement.

Our 2022 Cairns Show Young Rural Ambassador Jacy Evans was born and raised on a cattle property in the Atherton Tablelands. From working with different types of livestock growing up, Jacy took an interest to the Agricultural Industries from a young age, working as a stable hand and strapper for Ryan Racing, as well as working with A and A Farming picking fruit during the season and training passionate fruit vines. Now, an Atherton High School Student, Jacy has joined the schools Cattle Show Team and has plans to further her education by studying Regenerative Agriculture and Veterinary Science at University.

The 2022 Cairns Show Rural Ambassador Tatum Taffs holds a Bachelor of Urban and Environmental Planning and a Bachelor of Environmental Science from Griffith University.

Through her university studies, Tatum developed a passion for sustainability and the environment. Her career with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy in Charleville opened her eyes to the Agricultural Industries when she learnt about mulga and how fodder harvesting can be used to sustain cattle through extreme drought.

Our 2022 Cairns Showgirl Shynade Smith has been attending the Cairns Show since she was a little girl; recalling a time when she was twelve watching the Cairns Showgirl being sashed and vowing that one day she would be a Showgirl too! Now not only has she fulfilled her dream as a Showgirl but is an active member of the race and rodeo oganisations in FNQ competing regularly on the Fashions on the Field stage. A teacher at the Good Council College in Innisfail, Shynade continues to empower the next generation of agricultural leaders and her local communities.
