‘Insurer’ Declines to Comment while Council Evasion Continues on Legal Costs

CCRC Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS In a week when major media organisations are calling for improved disclosure and the right for the public to know, it appears our Council is content to continue to show disdain for ratepayers and the concept of transparency as a cornerstone of democracy. Many will have read, or heard the Mayor repeatedly denying that ratepayers will have to pay what he admits are the “considerable” legal costs, allegedly

VALUE

well over $1.0m, spent on several actions over the past two years involving a local couple. One of the Mayor’s statements was headed ‘The Facts’ and was published here in CCIN and The Innisfail Advocate. Council also sponsored the Mayor’s statement, which he read out at a Council meeting, on Facebook. “Council’s insurers will cover these legal costs,” the Mayor continually alleged in his statement. CCIN requested Council

provide some confirmation to support this great news. Council has declined citing its inability “while the matter is in progress before the courts.” So it appears we have a ‘fact’ without any actual evidence when all CCIN is doing is seeking assurances regarding the outlay of considerable public monies. The Mayor also repeatedly alleged that the Council’s insurers consented to Council publishing his press releases and that “the statement …was drafted with Council’s insurers and lawyers.” CCIN contacted the ‘insurer’ managers and spoke with the relevant Manager Liability Claims, at Jardine Lloyd Thompson (JLL).

He was asked to confirm that JLL was indeed involved with preparing the Council’s media releases. He repeatedly declined to comment. Quite puzzling when the Mayor has made such a point of it. Let us have a closer look at the Mayor’s most recent statement. What is it really saying, if anything, that can provide comfort to readers about Council’s real situation and whether ratepayers can really expect to have these legal costs reimbursed? Does it add to the information that is already confusing ratepayers that CCIN has been attempting to clarify? First, it does not spell out exactly which legal costs are supposed to be repaid

by the insurer. Council is currently funding and has funded numerous parties across a wide range of various legal and tribunal cases involving the local couple, not just the original defamation case brought on by the CEO. CCIN requested clarification of exactly which cases the insurer will reimburse, and Council declined to elaborate. The Mayor’s statement says, “Council is properly defending it and its employees.” Again this is not wholly accurate. Funds are also being spent on behalf of the mayor, councillors and relatives, plus ex-employees and even it seems the Council’s own solicitor. It appears besides Council

itself, at least nine persons are having, will have or already have had their costs covered by ratepayers. And Council, plus its numerous related parties are not just “defending”, as indicated in the Mayor’s statement. They themselves have commenced a number of the actions. The statement says, “Council …has to protect ratepayer’s money…”. When asked, Council was unwilling, or unable to explain what ratepayers’ money is actually at risk, and what would be the potential loss if actions were halted? They are just a few examples where Council apparently believes the public does not deserve a response to questions

about the process that lead to the outlay of substantial public monies. CCIN considers these are reasonable straightforward queries on behalf of its readers. Declining to provide such basic information to the public, based on spurious notions about impact on current legal cases, simply increases the impression Council has something to hide about how it is spending ratepayer funds. CCIN will not be perturbed. It will continue to research, ask questions, report on this matter, and hold Council accountable for what appears, in the absence of any evidence to the contrary, to be a questionable outlay of public monies.

LOCAL AFFAIRS BREAKING: Council CEO Amends Defamation Claim After Tully, Cardwell Rallies – Revised Claim Adds a Further $750k

CCRC Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS IN documents lodged in the District Court in Townsville on Tuesday 22 October 2019, the Cassowary Coast Regional Council CEO filed an ‘Amended Statement of Claim’ to his original July 2017 defamation statement. This amended claim now encompasses statements allegedly made at recent public rallies in Tully and Cardwell by a member of the couple already being sued. The amended statement now adds to the CEO’s claim for relief an award for damages not exceeding $750,000, plus an injunc-

tion against the couple from making further defamatory statements. Given the couple being sued have already provided statutory declarations to Council and the CEO that they have no net assets, the revised claim for up to an additional $750,000 appears perplexing. As the Mayor has previously stated any damages will be provided to Council. It is doubtful this action will do anything to shorten the length of the lawyers’ picnic that Council has committed to ratepayers underwriting.

Tigers Leagues Club Makes Huge Donations to Community SEAN DENT LAST week, General Manager of Tigers Leagues Club, Jo Solien, brought in several local clubs to make their regular donation to 12 of the community’s sporting clubs. “We’re a not for profit organisation, so this is our way of contributing back to the people who support us,” she said. The donations consisted of $500 in cash and a further $500 in vouchers redeemable at the Tigers

Leagues Club. The idea is that they can use the cash any way the see fit, and the vouchers they can use as raffle prizes and in that way, raise more cash for their club. The clubs on hand to receive their donation were RSL Club, Tully Bowls Club, Tully Bowhunters, Tully Swimming Club, Tully Junior Soccer Club, Tully Netball, Tully Rugby League, Tully Golf Club, Tully Little Athletics, and Tully Tennis Club.

Eli Makes Tully QLD’s Loudest Town, Crushes 2019 Fundraising Target SEAN DENT I’VE said it before and I’m sure I’ll be saying it again, if visitors want to see the best of this region, nothing compares to the beauty of this region when someone reaches out for help. This time it was Eli Waddell asking his town to raise money for Hear and Say, a world-leading Paediatric Auditory-Verbal and cochlear implant centre that started 27 years ago with the goal of helping deaf children in Queensland to listen and speak. It employs more than 70 staff across five centres around Queensland, works with more than 900 children in its Early Intervention Program, provides specialist support through its Cochlear Implant Program, and delivers a school hearing screening program, Hear to Learn, to more than

10,000 school students each year around the state. Once a year, Hear and Say has a Loud Shirt Day to raise money. This year, it pit three Queensland towns against each other for the title of Queensland's Loudest Town. Whoever raised the most money got the title. Eli, now 23 years old, has long been a beneficiary of the organisation’s efforts and wanted to give back this year, undertaking a range of fundraising ventures with the goal of hitting the $6,000 mark and having Tully named Queensland's Loudest Town 2019. The first good news is that it blew the $6,000 goal out of the water, hitting $11,674 (so far). Over $10,800 of that came from various raffles, fundraising, and sausage sizzles promoted directly by Eli and his mum, Linda Waddell. Even better news is that

overall, over $110,000 was raised for Hear and Say from various efforts around the state. About 150 Tully residents turned up last Friday wearing their brightest and loudest shirts, still buying raffle tickets, still buying sausages, and taking the time to say hi to Eli and congratulate him on an inspiring job. We asked Eli, was this the biggest Loudest Shirt Day ever in Tully, and he said yes, raised his arms in victory, and did a bit of a dance. To give context to this effort, last year they felt like they did an amazing job by raising $2,200. Not to be lost in all the numbers, but this also gives Eli a great sense of pride and of giving back to the same community that has changed his life and given him a sense of belonging. If you believe in and

He discussed all the conflicts of interest that constantly disqualify certain councillors from decision making and also how this council is too often going into committee where no one knows what is said outside of the councillors. He was also dismissive of what Council calls The Facts. “They have no facts in them at all. They are just assertions.” He was adamant they should have put in place a limit on how much would be spent. In a mocking tone, he said, “I guess we’ll see a writeback in a few weeks’ time in the financial statements if the insurance company is going to pay for it, and a great big receivable from the insurance company.” Finally, he called for an end to this matter and to the current council. “We need to stop this appalling waste of money, this appalling vindictiveness that’s occurring, and we need to bring it to an end. The amount of firepower being put into this is absolutely over the top. The

response to anything has got to be proportionate to what occurred in the first place. You don’t use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. These people are using a bulldozer! Mr Gott can stop it right now. He has brought the actions, not the Toogoods.” “We need to do two things. Stop the bleeding of money because we don’t know that it’s going to come back because we don’t have the facts, and then get rid of this council for the next election,” Shannon said while also mentioning that he does not intend to run. Also there, was Councillor Glenn Raleigh. This time he didn’t burp on his burger from 100 metres away as he claimed to have done four weeks earlier in Innisfail. He stood before the crowd and gave his point of view about what was going on, even if he was often evasive in terms of facts. What was interesting was his apparent alignment with Shannon rather than the CEO on matters of

substance, suggesting that he thinks the council has taken the wrong course. “I don’t think it’s appropriate that a Goliath attack a David. I’ve always been a strong advocate for settlement. I come upon conflict all the time. Settlement is the only answer because the only people who win out of conflict are lawyers. We do not need lawyers involved in these things.” Although he didn’t criticize the council outright, he did say the advice Council received from lawyers might not have been the right advice in hindsight, saying things may have gone differently, “had we sought independent advice.” He then struck a tone one might consider a stab at loyalty toward his fellow councillors and said, “But when we receive advice from accredited law firms who we’ve been using for years, and we don’t take that advice, that leaves us individually in jeopardy.” He also danced with the idea that stopping the action might be possible,

especially with the new setup at the council that allows the three non-Unity members to make decisions when the Unity members are conflicted out. “If, for example, recommendations come forward to rescind motions that were not deemed to be in the ratepayers’ interest, then we have to look at that.” This brought a smattering of applause from the rally crowd and is the kind of thinking we’ve heard from more than one councillor recently. Maybe the council is starting to get the messsage that the ratepayers are unhappy and distrustful of a council who could sue any of us at any time. Perhaps they don’t want this to be the one issue everyone is talking about between now and March 2020 - notwithstanding recent actions undertaken by the CEO himself. The next rally will be on the Nov 16 at 11:00 am in the Village Green Mission Beach, and it could be very interesting.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Voluntary assisted dying COST of delay is seven deaths a month In May the Queensland Parliament’s cross-party Health Committee visited Cairns and Mossman as part of its inquiry into end-of-life issues including voluntary assisted dying (VAD). Anyone following the Inquiry knows that the vast majority of those giving evidence in person or by written submission want to see VAD law reform in Queensland, and they want to see it sooner not later, and certainly before the next state election just a year away. In Parliament this week the Independent Member for Noosa, Sandy Bolton, asked Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk if her government would urgently consider any Inquiry recommendations for voluntary assisted dying laws similar to the urgency they have placed on new laws giving police extra powers to cope with street protests. In her response, the Premier did not commit to such a course of action and, unless she changes her mind, urgent and necessary VAD law reforms may languish in the “too hard” basket until after the next election. There is also the risk it will be a political football in an election campaign when it must be treated by all 93 state MPs in a bipartisan, calm, and sensible manner. The deadline for the Inquiry to report recommendations to Parliament has been extended from November to

March 2020, but it is feasible to have an early report on VAD in November as originally planned with a report on palliative care and aged care following. Coroners’ figures presented to the Inquiry show that each month in the absence of VAD, seven terminally ill Queenslanders take their own life in lonely, and often horrific circumstances. Sadly, that is the real and very human cost of delay. David Muir Chair The Clem Jones Trust c/- 120 Harts Rd Indooroopilly Q 4068

20 years of SunSmart program in Queensland I am writing to urge Queensland primary schools, Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) and Early Childhood Centres (ECC) to register for our free National SunSmart Program or to review their membership to ensure it is current. 2019 is a very special year as we are celebrating 20 years of the program in Queensland. Queensland has the unfavourable title of being the skin cancer capital of the world and childhood skin exposure is a contributing factor to skin cancers in later life. More than 3700 people are estimated to be diagnosed with melanoma in Queensland every year.

Developing SunSmart practices earlier in life is important to ensure we are decreasing youth’s likelihood of developing skin cancer. The National SunSmart Program aims to protect children in the short-term and help shape long term SunSmart habits. There are around 900 Queensland primary schools and 1600 OSCH and ECC that are eligible for the National SunSmart Program that are not currently members. Cancer Council Queensland has a newly developed search function, so organisations can easily check if they are a current member of the program or if their membership has lapsed. Joining the free program is a quick application process and all members have the chance to be rewarded with some amazing prizes. To find out more about the National SunSmart Program or to check your organisation’s current status, please visit cancerqld.org.au/sunsmart/. Ms Chris McMillan CEO, Cancer Council Queensland

Defence Force Service Service in the Australian Defence Force is overwhelmingly good for the individual, good for the community and in the national interest. But some people are impacted by that service, and as a Government we are committed to putting veterans and their families first. At any age good mental health is crucial to your overall health and wellbe-

ing, and plays a key role in being able to overcome life’s challenges. Mental health is everyone’s business — families, friends, employers, community organisations, governments and the ex-service community. Veterans’ Health Week, held from 26 October to 3 November, recognises the importance of good mental health and raises awareness for key areas of health and wellbeing in our veteran and current serving community. Funding has been granted to support ex-service and community organisations across Australia to host Veterans’ Health Week events that are focused on increasing mental wellness, providing a perfect opportunity to engage with support networks, meet like-minded people and learn more about mental health. All Australians have a part to play in supporting good mental health and during Veterans’ Health Week I encourage veterans and their families to contact their local ex-service organisation and find out how they can get involved in local events. For more information, resources and to find events near you visit the Veterans’ Health Week page (www.dva. gov.au/vhw).

Letter to the Editor Pin your support this Pink Ribbon Day

Next Monday (October 28) is the official Pink Ribbon Day! Cancer Council Queensland is counting on our friends across the State to pin their support to the campaign by buying pink merchandise to wear proudly. Tragically, there are around 4,600 Queensland women diagnosed with a breast or gynaecological cancer each year. Money raised through Cancer Council’s Pink Ribbon campaign helps fund world-class research into women’s cancers, cancer prevention and advocacy programs, and support services to help those affected by women’s cancers. And every dollar counts. You can buy a pin, brooch, bangle, luggage tag, key ring or pen, for under $10 each, with corporate pen packs of 50 for $25 and 100 for $40 available. We love to band together for a good cause, so help us celebrate this Pink Ribbon Day by buying something now to wear – and while you’re at it, take the opportunity to reach out to your loved ones and ask about their health, encourage them to get screened, lend a helping hand or simply be there to listen. To buy Pink Ribbon merchandise, please visit, https://pinkribbon.cancerqld.org.au/. If Queenslanders have questions or concerns about cancer, they should visit their GP or call Cancer Council’s 13 11 20 to access information or confidential support and referrals.

LIVE HEALTHY

Be Health Smart Dr Richard Burgess BACK IN MOTION CHIROPRACTIC Hello, I’m Dr. Richard Burgess, Chiropractor. Often people have a misperception about chiropractic, what it’s designed to do. This is my passion, and I’d love to change that. I find chiropractic really exciting; it’s such a beautiful and natural way to add to your health. We know that we live our lives through our nervous systems (our brains, and all of the nerves that branch off), sending gorgeous, vital messages all day long to and from our bodies and brains. Most importantly, it

Ingrid Mullings HOMOEOPATHY SPECIALIST Ingrid Mullings, four year, London trained, classical homoeopath with 32 years experience is available for consultation in Wongaling Beach. Ingrid also offers Bowen therapy, Reiki and foot reflexology. Ingrid was a founder member of and homoeopath for the first free, government funded, multi- modality, complementary health clinic in London, which liaised with and received referrals from the medical profession. Homoeopathy is one of the most prescribed forms of natural therapy in the world today and has been practised for over 200 years. In countries

controls ongoing healing, repair and cell regulation. At the level of the spine, there can be interferences to the transmission of the vital messages of the nerve system by way of joints that move dysfunctionally. This will often manifest itself in symptomatic signals such as pain, or maybe as lack of function (changes to how our bodies are working). In essence, there is impedance to the optimal function of your nerve system, and therefore, expression of life. This is precisely why in our practice we love checking whole families for these interferences, even family pets, young children and babies (before those symptoms begin). We know that the very first system to develop in utero is the nervous system. To me it makes sense to check all pregnant mums from the get-go.

While it’s true that chiropractic can often help with neck pain, back pain or headaches, as you can see, there is so much more to what we do. Everyone can seek chiropractic care, symptoms or otherwise. As a

long-distance runner, I found my next level of optimum through chiropractic care, which is why I decided to become a chiropractor. Many people who want to perform at their best in various sports choose chiropractic as part of their tool kit for optimal performance.

In practice, I seem to have found my niche and am passionate about caring for those experiencing challenges to their optimal neurological expression. This includes neurodiverse children (ADD, ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyspraxia, to name a few), as well as sufferers of conditions like Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis or muscular dystrophy. In my time in practice, I’ve been lucky to work with families, pets and chiropractic lovers all around Auckland and Northland, New Zealand. It’s awesome now being here on the gorgeous Cassowary Coast at Back in Motion Chiropractic in Innisfail and Tully.

Chiropractic College with her Doctorate of Chiropractic in 2000, and Clinical Acupuncture in 2008. In Canada, Dr Lina worked with many sports teams such as soccer, rugby union and beach volleyball. She was part of the medical team for Nike Canada Junior Basketball Development Camp for three years and Rugby Union Canada for five. She worked as the Athletic Therapist/Sports Trainer for Innisfail Brothers Rugby A Grade team for two seasons. Sports was always a big part of Lina’s life. She played basketball, soccer, and both indoor and beach volleyball throughout primary school and into her university years. Another passion is working with

children and pregnant mothers. Dr Lina has combined her love and knowledge for sports, paediatrics and pregnancy into her practice, where she has a very gentle approach and focuses care on low-and-moderate force adjusting techniques for families and athletes. Back In Motion Chiropractic opened their doors shortly after the devastation of Cyclone Larry in 2006, and has never looked back. For the past 13 years, Lina and her amazing team of health professionals have been caring for a diverse group of patients, from newborns to pregnant moms, teenage athletes to seniors and from active dads to busy moms.

as far apart as Mexico, France, Argentina & India it has equal status with orthodox medicine. It has been rated the most popular complementary therapy in third world countries & the second most popular in the first world. Homoeopathic treatment assists the natural tendency of the body to heal itself. Homoeopaths recognise that all symptoms of ill health are expressions of imbalance within the whole person and that it is the patient who needs treatment not the disease. A visit to the homoeopath will enable you to describe fully & in an unhurried way your symptoms, concerns and medical history. The homoeopath then prescribes the remedy which matches your complete picture most closely . The remedies are prepared from natural substances and are tested on human volunteers, so that their properties are understood precisely. As the remedies are administered in micro doses, they are safe for all age groups, animals & plants, they are non toxic, non addictive & without side effects. Good homoeopathy will not only

drive away the symptoms but helps you deal with the root cause and can help prevent the onset of more serious disease. Ideally it aims to help you reach a level of health where you are no longer dependent on any therapy. If you feel that an holistic & natural approach is more in tune with your growing awareness of how and why we become ill, please contact Ingrid on 0459 793 313 for more information or to make an appointment. Quotes from the greats – Mahatma Gandhi ‘Homoeopathy…. cures a larger percentage of cases than any other treatment & is beyond doubt safer & more economical’ Sir Yehudi Menuhin ‘Homoeopathy is one of the rare medical approaches which carries no penalties, only benefits’ Dizzie Gillespie ‘The two great discoveries of my life have been beebop and homoeopathy’ Patrons of homoeopathy include the British royal family. Registered as a teacher with Qld Education, Ingrid also offers French language tuition.

GARDENING IN PARADISE

Jennyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tropical Gardening, October, 2019

How quickly another year is flying to an end! The months just seem to be passing so very fast and we shall soon be enjoying another Christmas. This also means we are heading into another hot summer and I would like to remind everyone to please take care when working in the garden and try to be doing it in the cooler times of day and wear long-sleeved cotton shirts, a broad-brimmed hat (Mitre 10 has very

good lightweight airy straw hats in stock) , and apply sunscreen. A l s o , keep a plentiful supply of cool water on hand to drink. I love to add a couple of slices of lime to mine as they really help quench your thirst. Of course, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget all the garden helpers such as birds, lizards, bees, butterflies, dragonflies, lizards, etc, who need us to help with their specific requirements for cool water and they reward us with the terrific job they do of keeping many pests out of our gardens and also pollinate our crops and flowers.

The very drying winds as well as the scorching sun certainly stresses many of our plants, but this can be helped by moving any potted plants to where they receive some shelter from the wind and give them much-needed shade. This is also a good time to re-pot our ferns as they require a good growing medium which will hold moisture, and adding some wetting agent or water crystals will also help them stay well-watered. I always recommend giving freshly potted plants a good drink of Seasol in the water after repotting as this will help strengthen and feed the plants root system. When repotting, always cut any dead or stressed leaves and trim

the plant to a good shape, as this will also give them the best start to healthy new growth. It is wise to never over-pot a plant, which means that a plant that is being transferred to a bigger pot only needs to be given a pot that is a little larger, as the unused potting mix that is in a much larger pot is not able to be used by the plant will turn sour, and the plant will suffer. Maidenhair ferns that have been badly affected by the heat and winds will soon recover if all leaves are cut off just above the potting mix and they are given a refreshing drink of water which has some added Seasol and a fertiliser that is for ferns. All ferns benefit from being grown in a shady,

wind-free position and have some water nearby. Water can be in the form of tubs or pots placed nearby as the breeze passing over them will put moisture in the air, which ferns love. Remember to add some fish to any water containers that are in the garden as they will eat any mosquito larva that may be in the water. River sand on the floor of a fernhouse, orchid house or any shadehouse will retain water and provide nice moist air for the plants. Lilies are putting on a great show of colour at this time of year, and hippeastrums, Daylilies and others are providing beautiful colours to our summer garden. Hippeastrums like

to be planted with their necks just above the soil and love to be broken up every three or four years and Daylilies also appreciate being dug up every few years and broken up and replanted. Hippeastrums produce their flowers on the top of a hollow stalk while Daylilies produce flowers on stems and they have multiple buds which open in succession over some days. Each Daylily flower will only last one day, but the great thing about them is that they produce so many buds over a good length of time. We have so many great fertilisers at Mitre 10, Tully, and I am happy to help with your queries for the best ones to suit your purposes. So, please call in any morning of Mon-

day, Wednesday or Friday to chat with me. We shall shortly have a great new range of fruiting trees so drop in to check these out also, as well as the ornamental plants, pots garden ornaments we have. FREE shredded paper is available from the Canegrowersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; office also, so please call in to enquire about these. They are great to top each layer of your worm farm or to add to the compost heap or even to put around plants that require their roots to be kept cool in this heat... just water the shredded paper after putting around plants, top with some other mulch and watch Mother Nature do her thing! Until next month, Happy gardening, Jenny.

Hippeastrum lilies are looking beautiful now!

COMMUNITY NEWS

with Katriina Hyytinen Community Movie Night at MPC

Hello Been watching birds’ nests closely this week. Sunbird is siting faithfully, as well as Magpie in their nests. Nothing much else been happening. Sunbirds nest is the close one, just outside the door. Very interesting observations: Night time it’s not moving, like under hypnosis. I can stand next week and watch it and take photos. Can’t wait for babies to arrive. This week two birds are Purple Swamphen and Orange-footed Scrubfowl. I did photograph a purple hen in Tablelands and a Scrubfowl in my yard. Rain’s been a blessed visitor to my yard. Everything’s been so brown and dry. Hopefully you are enjoying this break in the heat.

The Tully Support Centre (TSC) is proud to once again be supporting the Tully & District Chamber of Commerce Community Movie Night to be held on Friday November 1 at the Tully Multipurpose Centre.

The movie will be Pokemon Detective Pikachu (PG). A funny family buddy comedy with a twist where wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth Detective Pikachu teams up with his lost partners son to track him down.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23 BREAK AND ENTER, TULLY: Tully Police are urging residents to ensure their homes are locked and secured after an alleged attempted break and enter to a Parmeter Street address. Initial investigations suggest that during the night of October 21, damage was done to a rear security screen door, but no entry was gained. Police want to remind residents to ensure they lock and secure homes and vehicles,

and not to leave valuable items in or visible in your vehicles. SPEEDNG OFFENCES, O’BRIENS HILL: A number of motorists were intercepted along the Plamerston Highway, Tuesday afternoon, some of which were well in excess of the speed limit. Between 4.30pm and 5.30pm, seven vehicles were intercepted, with three motorists receiving traffic infringement notices of $444 and four demerit points for travelling 20km/h over the speed limit. A 63-year-old Milla Milla woman was allegedly travelling at 88km/h in a 60km/h zone. A 69-year-old Sarina man

was intercepted allegedly travelling at 86km/h in a 60km/h zone. A 66-year-old international tourist was intercepted travelling at an alleged speed of 90km/h in a 60km/h. Police want to remind motorists how dangerous speeding is. By exceeding the speed limit, you are increasing the time it takes for you to stop, and therefore increasing your risk of serious injury or death. The consequences of driving faster can have huge impacts, not just on the victims of road crashes but also on the families, friends and the emergency service workers who attend the crashes. Road safety reminders:

• Regularly check your speed when driving; • Always drive to the conditions – if weather and/or road conditions are poor, slow down; and • Don’t follow too closely – leave a two-second gap and increase the gap in poor conditions. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17 STOLEN VEHICLES, MUNRO PLAINS: Police are investigating after two 2005 white Toyota Landcruisers were allegedly stolen from a North Davidson Road address between 6pm on October 15 and 5am on October 16.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Stork Brings Tummy to Tots to Tully a Bit Early SEAN DENT THE birth of Tummy to Tots, the new baby shop on the corner of Butler and Bryant in Tully, came earlier than expected. Many people around the area had noticed the store’s “coming soon” sign a few weeks ago, and there was some excitement around, but most made note of its expected November grand opening. Unexpectedly, owners Rebecca Francis and Michael Hides found themselves back in Tully earlier than anticipated after their plans for the holiday of a lifetime in Canada and the US fell through. They were in Sydney in early October, preparing for their flight to Canada when Francis suffered a grand mal seizure in her sleep, biting down on her

tongue and choking on her blood. It was her first such incident. When this happened again a night later, the couple got scared about travelling with two small children, Thomas (age three), and Teddy, three months old. “Teddy relies on me for his food, and we were worried,” said Francis. Teddy also co-sleeps with her and goes everywhere she goes (including the shop during opening hours, where I imagine he will be a great draw for local mums and grandmums). The couple reluctantly cancelled their holiday, foregoing $15,000 of prepaid fees. There was a complication with their insurance that they are still investigating with Flight Centre, so they flew back to Tully and opened the shop early partly because

they had no other plans and partly because Francis had been looking forward to this for a while now and needed a boost. Francis is a fighter and has spent her life facing challenges a lot more daunting. As a three-yearold girl, she was badly injured in a car accident that caused tearing of spinal nerves and she lost most of the use of her left arm. She went through over 400 surgeries during her childhood, leading to some use of that arm and her fingers, but not much. A few months ago, Francis got the idea for a baby shop because as a mother who was expecting a second child, she was exhausted travelling to Innisfail and Cairns to buy things she needed, and surmised that she was probably not the only mum in

the area dealing with that hassle. Everything about the new shop is premised on the hurdles she faced whenever she needed to buy anything baby-related. “There’s nothing for mums in the area. Even Innisfail, really it only has Kmart, so I ended up making trips to Cairns, which is very hard as an expectant mum with a young child. Basically, I opened the kind of shop that I wished had been here for me,” said Francis. That means good quality items, but affordable. “A lot of times mums and dads bring their kids into a shop like this and the kids see toys and fall in love with them. So, I keep some cheap things down low for them.” There’s also a play area big enough for several kids. She offers items for the

pregnant mums as well as new babies, and plans to continue expanding. She’s already dealing with the unforeseen challenges any new business owner faces, such as the intricacies of the distribution channel, but she’s facing them head on, refusing to sacrifice the vision of what she wants her shop to be. “Some distributors make you commit to buying a certain quantity before they’ll agree to supply you. That forces prices up, and Tully is not the kind of place where people always have a lot to spend, so we won’t be using them as suppliers.” Francis is also an ex-photographer with a graphic design background that she’s already used to develop signs, logos, leaflets, and to set up an attractive Facebook

page. She intends to install a photo studio at the shop, specialising in kids’ pictures. She is already planning another shop in the region somewhere down the line and has some ambitions even beyond that. For now, it’s just Tummy to Tots in Tully. If

you’re a mum, an expectant mum, or you want to buy something for a grandchild, even if they don’t stock what you want, Francis will order it in. And if you’re around Saturday, November 2, there will be a grand opening party in-store at 10:00am.

RURAL REPORT

Nation’s fruit and veggies bear weight in 2030 debate

THE Australian horticulture sector could climb to up to $30 billion over the next decade, putting a significant dent in the national agriculture industry’s target of reaching $100 billion in production by 2030. Revealed in a recent submission to the Federal Government Inquiry into growing Australian agriculture to $100 billion by 2030, Hort Innovation stated the figure could only be reached through targeted research and development investment, and regulatory support.

Hort Innovation chief executive Matt Brand said horticulture is already the fastest-growing agricultural sector in Australia – with a 40 per cent hike in value over the past five years to $13.2 billion – and production is expected to continue to climb. “The Aussie horticulture sector is in the box seat when it comes to growth,” he said. “There is so much untapped potential when you look at macro trends, such as plant-based diets and plant-based food packaging, and the increasing

of the market – have proven a big success. And, there are many ways to continue to get maximum ‘bang for buck’ through options such as expanding existing trade markets, and continuing to pool Rural Research and Development Corporation resources through initiatives such as The Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative, to stamp out duplication and drive efficiency. Mr Brand also said to realise peak growth in the sector, multiple roadblocks need to be addressed. “The low connectivity of much of regional Australia impacts on the

need for urban farming solutions.” “There is also plenty that can be done using existing research, development and trade activities that are already underway through Hort Innovation, with impacts already being seen through levy investment.” Mr Brand said a recent independent project impact assessment revealed Hort Innovation is delivering a cost benefit ratio of up to 4 to 1 across R&D investments. “Projects, such as a strawberry breeding program – which has delivered 12 new varieties that now capture a large share

effectiveness of digital transformation which, along with a lack of data integrity and visibility, results in a non-data-driven culture,” he said. “Competition for water and water availability is also an impediment, particularly in the Murray Darling Basin and in drought-affected areas. The cost of production – including labour, water, energy and access to inputs – also has an impact on business.” Mr Brand said on top of that, extension and adoption need greater investment and refocus, with a dedicated unit being established in Hort In-

novation now to address this issue. He also said State agencies, in particular, need to also focus on ensuring research findings can be applied on-farm as a lack of funding over the past decade has affected productivity: “With the rapid advancement of new, disruptive technologies, that is a concern”. Projections compiled by the Hort Innovation Data and Insights Unit – which draw from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Australian Bureau of Agriculture and Resources Economics and Sciences, and the Australian Horticulture Statistics Handbook – show that if

the horticulture sector remained as it is now, without regulatory support and minimal R&D investment, it would reach $17 billion by 2030, in line with the Consumer Price Index. A conservative outlook – which takes into account targeted R&D investment, and some regulatory support – is $20 billion by 2030. And, with regulatory intervention across issues such as labour-hire, network connectivity to regional areas and climate change, combined with targeted R&D investment, that figure could reach $30 billion.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS

Prestigious Nomination

BRISBANE music teacher, Lee Strickland has been selected from hundreds of applicants as an official ARIA nominee for this year's Telstra ARIA Music Teacher of the Year Award which is run in partnership with Telstra, ARIA, and The Song Room. Inspired by Strickland, Australian singer-songwriter Katie Noonan visited Narbethong State Special School in Woolloongabba to shine a light on the importance of music education and celebrate the local primary school teacher's ARIA nomination. Strickland, a dedicated music teacher at Narbethong State Special School, provides tailored music programs to support students with varying degrees of vision, hearing and intellectual impairment. She creates a positive and enthusiastic learning environment, nurturing each students' love of music regardless of their ability. Strickland said the music program, "gives a voice to those who cannot talk, rhythm to those who cannot walk and a platform for these children to grow as capable individuals through a shared love of music." She uses her music classes to build self-worth, confidence and resilience. Strickland works passionately on fine-tuned lessons that focus on each of her student's in-

dividual needs. She runs choirs, individual and group music lessons, along with attending music programs outside of school. She also goes to Braille camps during her holidays to support her students and then translates music into Braille to provide her vision impaired students with access to a wide and varied range of music they can play. This ARIA Award category celebrates Australia's music educators for their education and hard work in teaching children to play and love music. The benefits of music education have been consistently proven by decades of research, and they are experienced every day by Australian teachers and students who actively engage and participate in music making. Research into The Song Room's programs in particular provides evidence that children involved in the program achieve better grades, attend school more often, improve their self-esteem and confidence, as well as experience less stress, depression, loneliness and anger. Despite these facts, three in four Australian schools do not have a specialist music teacher. Strickland credits her program with making a measurable difference in the lives of her students. In addition to helping develop fine motor skills, all lessons provide students with opportunities to flourish in a number of academic and social settings. Students express a great sense of pride when performing. "I am passionate and driven by all things music and equality,"

said Strickland. She has committed her teaching career to advocating that, "our children are just like any other children: precious, cheeky, vulnerable, inquisitive, adventurous and able." In addition to her role as a teacher at Narbethong, Strickland also provides a Statewide Service to all music students who are vision impaired. Earlier this year, Strickland organised and conducted the first Braille Music Camp in Queensland to upskill teachers and support students to learn Braille music. The 2019 nominees which were announced on October 10 includes four nominees for Music Teacher of the Year. The public can vote for their favourite, including Strickland, online at www.ariamusicteacheraward.com.au. Voting closes at 11:59pm on Wednesday, November 20. The music teacher with the most public votes will be presented with an ARIA at the 2019 ARIA Awards ceremony held in Sydney on November 27. Five-time ARIA award winning Katie Noonan is one of Australia's most prolific artists having produced 18 albums over her career and performs across music genres. Her album Polyserena, with band George was an ARIA #1 platinum-selling album, and she has also picked up ARIAs for Best Jazz Album and Best World Music Album. As a successful music artist and Brisbane local, Noonan is keen to promote the positive effects of music programs like the one run by Strickland at Narbethong State Special School.

Olympic high jumper Hannah Joye inspired staff and students at Mena Creek State School during her visit which was part of the Olympics Unleashed program

Olympian Hannah Joye Inspires

MARIA GIRGENTI SPORTING hero and Olympic high jumper Hannah Joye recently visited Mena Creek State School where she passed on words of wisdom to Prep to Year 6 students as part of Olympics Unleashed for Queensland Schools program. The program is being rolled out in schools across the state by Queensland Academy of Sport in partnership with Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) and this is the first time an Olympic athlete has visited a school in the Canecutter Cluster. Students shared their sports and interests in and outside of school, and Joye said her goal was to inspire them to discover their passions/talents and to get excited about pursuing what they are gifted in. Joye who was born in Brisbane completed her primary schooling at Forest Lake College and secondary years at St John's Anglican College. While at school she tried volleyball, netball, dance, drama and Little Athletics, and it was there she discovered a passion for high jump. When Joye was a Year 12 student aged 17, she represent-

ed Australia in high jump at the World Youth Championships in Ukraine where she finished seventh. She explained to students in life there are ups and downs and things don't always go to plan, but it is important to learn "it's not failure when you learn from your mistakes and keep on going." Joye persevered and after three good performances was selected for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, where at the age of 18 she was the youngest athlete in the Australian team. The three key things for students to perform at their best is "balancing school and their passions, sleeping well and fuelling their bodies with the right foods." Joye studied a degree in Ecology and Conservation and has been working as a wildlife officer for a koala habitat restoration project. Her Chinese grandfather Dick way Goon Chew ran a national fitness group and was the first person to introduce the Olympic trampoline to Queensland. In 2014, Joye finished sixth in the women's high jump final at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games with a personal

best of 1.89m and just missed out on a medal. Joye said her aunty Bindee Johnston (nee Goon Chew) from Townsville was a huge inspiration as she always tried her hardest. Johnston ran relays, 100m and 200m but her strongest event was 4 x 100m relay, and she represented Australia at World Juniors and Goodwill Games, as well as competed in the skeleton event at Winter Olympics. Joyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal best is 1.92m, but from now until end of year, Joye will be striving to jump 1.94m in order to qualify for selection in the Australian team to compete in 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Before leaving, Joye gave certificates to the school which will be presented to students displaying the Olympic spirit of self-belief, respect, sportsmanship and great efforts. School principal Cameron Wedgwood said Joye's advice aligns perfectly with the school's ethos which involves students setting goals and working towards them, not giving up, having a good support network, striving for personal improvement and building resilience.

Spring Mod Camp Sees Huge Increase in Attendance

NRL and QRL staff with the 43 juniors who participated in a three day NRL Spring Mod Camp and holiday clinic held at Daradgee Environmental Education Centre MARIA GIRGENTI A GROUP of aspiring junior rugby league players recently took part in the second NRL/ QRL Far North Queensland Spring Mod camp and holiday clinic held in this region for seven years at Daradgee Environmental Education Centre. The camp consisted of players aged 10 and 11 from Innisfail, Tully, Cairns, Atherton Tablelands, Mount Isa and Weipa, which saw numbers increase from 17 last year to 43. For the first time, six boys travelled long distances from

Mabuiag Island (situated 100km north of Thursday Island) to take part in the camp which was run over three days and two nights and was made possible by Mabuiag Junior Rugby League coach Sam Joe. A group of 12-year-old youngsters also attended which assisted them in the transition to international footy. North Queensland Cowboys NRL sensations, Jake Clifford from Tully and Enari Tuala have both attended this camp in the past. The camp was run by Cairns-based NRL Game De-

velopment staff Alby Anderson, Atul Chowdhary and William Kennedy, who is also a referee. Adam MacDonald, former President of Mossman Junior Rugby League, is the new NRL Development officer for the Cape region. Renae Bonner, the new NRL Non-Contact development officer from Mount Isa along with Tanya Tully, QRL Club Support staff member, also attended as a Level 2 Sports Trainer. Also in attendance was Maddi Stammers, a new NRL trainee based in Cairns who is studying Certificate III In Sports

and Recreation and sponsored by Redlynch Razorbacks Junior Rugby League club. Participants learnt about the history of rugby league, team building activities, setting goals and standards, healthy nutritional habits which included eating right, health and hygiene, as well as the importance of eight to nine hours sleep. They also added to their personal rugby league skills set through four-point training plans, open and closed drills, plus skill based games, such as the Mohawk challenge. Northern Pride Under 20

coach Dave Scott and players Teddy Anson and Jarom Mairu paid a visit on the first day where they interacted and participated in rugby league activities with the junior players. All the boys enjoyed the experience and felt they learnt new things and valuable life skills, which included them being required to wash their dishes and clean up after meals. Activities included a movie night where the youngsters watched the movie Coach Carter to see appropriate behaviour in sport. They also watched an old

State of Origin game, the season opener in 1994 which featured Mark Coyne's 'miracle' try in the dying moments to secure a Queensland Maroons victory to give the youngsters an appreciation of the game's rich long and rich history. Those who participated in the camp were extremely appreciative to the team at Daradgee Environmental Education Centre, especially Angelina, Stephen, Noel and the cook.

Memorial Golf Day Draws Huge Support Thunder Ladies

Members of the Walker family presented the special trophy to Jake Cockle, Caine Cockle and Xavier Zadelj from Big Dog Little Dogs team who were the winners on the second day MARIA GIRGENTI THE second annual Mark Walker Memorial Golf Day was held recently over two days at Innisfail Golf Day for social and competitive players which was organised by the Walker family in honour of their loved one who tragically passed away in a road crash a year ago. Walker was a loyal member of

Innisfail Golf club for 30 years and was instrumental in getting juniors into the game 20 years ago, which in recent years has been carried on by Jake and Cindy Cockle. Family and friends travelled from near and far, including Peter and Kay Grady from Tannum Sands, Mark's sister, Nadine and Ray Crawford from Bororen, central Queensland, Mark's brother Stephen from Miriamvale and

Rodney Bayliss from Lismore, New South Wales. On the first day, 42 golfers teed off for four-ball best-ball stableford over 18 holes, while 52 golfers had a shotgun start on the second day for a social three-ball ambrose over nine holes. Jason Edmonson and Lance Masina, with a score of 51, were winners on the first day and presented with a specially made man-

go trophy crafted by Luke Peters. The top six who took home prizes on the first day were Hayley and Colt Barba (46); Craig Alman and John Lombardi (46); Rod Rackley and Ian Rule (46); Rod Ingram and Alan Gould (45); Stephen Todd and Danny Bradley (45) and Addi and Tiny (44). The Big Dog Little Dogs team, made up of father-and-son Jake and Caine Cockle and Xavier Zadelj were winners on the second day with a nett score 27.35 and presented with a special trophy made of silky oak sourced by Mark Walker's grandfather Rex Walker and handmade by Colin Lyons. Top seven teams who took home prizes were TGP (29.40 nett score); Grazed and Confused (29.40); Deadlys (29.70); No Idea (29.85); Bororen Hillbillies (29.90); Three Little Pigs (30.70) and Addis Addicts (32.00). The Walker family especially wished to thank major sponsors QUBE, BCF, Harvey Norman, KZ7 Training, Cono Canu, Innisfail Woodworkers Guild, Col's Vinyl and Strongsafe for their extreme generosity with providing vouchers and prizes.

Strike in Cricket

Season Opener INNISFAIL Thunder Ladies played their first T20 of the season last Sunday against Mulgrave at Walker Road, Edmonton. Batting first, captain Alana Romano (30 from 22 balls) came together with young gun Amy Hunter (67 off 53 balls) for a 62 run second wicket stand of faster than a run a ball. Hunter held up one end as other batters came and went, eventually falling with the score on 131. The score kept ticking over as Thunder Ladies amassed 6/155 from their 20 overs. With a good total to defend the team started strongly with the ball, with both Talytha MacDonald and Hunter uprooting the stumps. MacDonald (2/22 off 4

overs) and Romano (2/14 off 3 overs) picked up multiple wickets. Hunter (1/17 off 3 overs), Karri Keen (1/12 off 3 overs), Dannielle Poidevin-Martin (1/21 off 4 overs) and Segumar Edwards (1/2 off 1 over) backed the opening bowlers up strongly as Mulgrave were rolled for 97. It was a great win for the ladies, with some enthusiastic new faces adding to the great team vibe on the day. This added to the Cassowary Coast Cyclones A Grade Men's victory in their season opening twoday match which was the first time in six years an Innisfail based A Grade team had beaten Mulgrave back in 2013/14 season.

Tigers News with Shane Muriata IF Thomas Flegler, Jake Clifford and Matthew Musa weren’t showcasing our rugby league talent enough for our region, then a group of girls that will travel to Mackay at the end of this week to compete in the State Indigenous Carnival Rugby League Carnival should be the icing on the footy cake. With the success of the Women’s NRL competition starting and the inaugural World 9s Kiwi side winning the trophy for

the girls against Australia, this rugby league journey has shown a pathway to higher honours for our players if they want it. If you don’t remember too much about this article, or my unbelievable athletic ability, then these names will be worth remembering. Essay Banu, Shae Congoo, Tali Fredriksson and Brook Tonghalia , are all North Queensland Cowboys Rugby League Squad members who have been added and short list-

ed to join the newly NRL Women’s team the Nth Qld Cowboys in a few years. When I caught up with co-coach and allround good person Alia Ivey, you couldn’t help but feel a little excited by her voice: “It’s been a long road to get here, but we’re finally going. These girls are used to playing against each other in the Cairns comp, and there from all around the region like Innisfail, Cardwell, Tully and Cairns. So it was a natural progression to get them together for a game.” As the conversation went on, there was a sense of pride in her voice, as she explained this rugby league journey goes past the actual game on the

field. “We want them to be role models, you know, have something to shoot for. If they have people like them making the right choices in life to stay clear of drugs and alcohol, then all our work is for a greater cause.” I have come to know Alia through a long association of rugby league, as her family is royalty around our region when it comes to footy, so it comes as no surprise she is using this game as a vehicle to drive home the message. “If you want a good life, then it’s waiting for you if you work hard.” Great community people, doing great community things, keep up the good work, Alia and Co. Good luck girls.

Coastal Gummas would like to thank their sponsors who have contributed to their Rugby League endeavours: Denis The Barber, Aaron Fraser Builders, Tully Welding Works, Tully Lions, Morris Milkos, Mamu, Brett Ambrum, TullySugar, Girrigan, Mt Tyson Hotel, Rafters Party Bar, Tully Rugby League, Mona Mackenzie, Barras Hire, Nintiringani Indigenous sports and Rec. If I didn't need another reason to bag the Wallabies, well here I go again. After another poor showing at the Rugby Union World Cup in Japan, Australia’s national side, the Wallabies looked more like the Wannabes from Ernest goes to Play.

Every year I hold hopes that maybe i could make the trek to Iggulldens to buy a yellow jersey or shorts, these fools remind why I should always stick to the Rugby League Kangaroo's. In a time where we get on such a roll like retaining the Ashes in England, feature in the top four for the cricket World Cup, and win a Rugby League World Cup, the disappointment of our rugby union side is enough to make me never want to back them, such is the lack of character. As for the coach Chieka, good riddance, don't let the door hit you on your way out. Hopefully we can do better when the Wannabes play again on the Spring Tour.

THE great weather conditions continued right through last weekend allowing plenty of opportunities for boats to travel out to the islands and reefs. Unfortunately, the north easterly winds were coming up early, so you needed to travel north so you had the wind behind you for the trip home. Reports have been coming in of plenty of pelagic action out wide on the continental shelf with several Marlin and Sailfish hooked along with Wahoo, Yellow fin Tuna and Dolphin fish. There has also been some very good quality Nannygai, Job fish, and trophy Red Emperor caught from the deep wa-

ter.

The main reefs continue to fish well for Coral Trout and Red Throat Emperor along with some monstrous Stripeys and Moses Perch. There still seems to be reasonable numbers of Spanish Mackerel being caught by floating baits around the reef drop offs. The shale patches and wrecks between the shipping channel and main reefs have been hot and cold with some boats reporting good catches and other regulars reporting poor numbers of quality fish and lots of sharks. I am sure the Nannygai numbers will improve later in the year, but I have serious concerns about the number

Tully Bowls LAST Wednesday eight players enjoyed the day. Winners were Ian Revie and Carol Pedley Jackpot has risen to $376.00 for October 23. Saturday and Sunday, Robyn Brunello, Judy Hood and Ray Wicks travelled to Innisfail and attended a bowls coaching course. Sunday, we had 14 bowlers and the winners of a $20.00 RSL voucher were Peter Smith, Roy Maguire and Colleen Tennent. Tuesday, Tully Club hosted the ladies FNQ presentation of trophies we had members who represented their clubs from Innisfail, South Johnston, Silkwood, Babinda and Tully. A great day was had by everyone the money card was won by Karin Rostoll from Silkwood. Winners on the day were Denise Charman, Helen Paterson and Anna Rowbowtham. Prizes and trophies were handed out by Denise. Tully Club members won the Fours Mary Bacic, Bev Achilles, Judy Hood and Val Zamora. Great and exciting news for our sports Denise Charman and Jean Messina won the pairs competition at their Silkwood club, then went onto champion of championship winning in Cairns and Townsville and now will contest the zone finals in Toowoomba. Good luck girls!

of Bull Sharks and their habits of late. I think we need to look at Nannygai size limits, returning undersize fish is training these Bull sharks to hang around the boats for a easy meal, in several locations the fishing has become unviable. Reasonable numbers of Island Trout and good catches off Grass Sweet Lip are being caught from the islands. At this stage the numbers of Grunter and Fingermark caught from around the islands seem to be down, hopefully things will improve over the next few weeks. There are still a few big Spanish Mackerel being hooked around the islands and the occasional Grey Mackerel is turning up. The estuaries continue to fish well, with plenty of quality Mangrove Jacks being caught over the last week in both the coastal creeks and the Hinchinbro-

ok area. Small hard bodied deep diving lures and three or four inch paddle tail soft plastics have been working a treat. I like to fish either side of the bottom of the tide and then work my way up stream as the tide begins to push in. The Barra have also been on the chew with better numbers of legal fish being caught than I have seen in years. There were some very big fish in the 80 to 100 cm mark caught using live baits around the deep-water snags and drop offs. Those luring the shallower flats and snags have been catching a smaller size fish, but even then, there have been plenty of fish up in the 70 to 80cm. mark. The Barra season finishes on November 1, so this will be the last weekend to catch a barra for 3 months. The other problem is that we have the first Coral Reef Finfish closure starting this Friday the 25th and finishing at midnight on the 29th, so chasing a late season Barra looks like a great option.

Of course, all the other Pelagic and estuary species are still available, there is no denying that the reef fishing has improved since the green zones and breeding closures have been introduced. At the time of writing this report, which is very early in the week, the various weather sites are all reporting light winds again this weekend. There is a large run in the tide and the afternoon low will cause problems with access to many boat ramps. Either side of the morning high tide is perfect to fish for grunter around the edge of the sandbars and drop offs in the coastal creeks and in the Hinchinbrook region. This same tide would also suit those wishing to fish for Spanish or Grey Mackerel around the island headlands. Those wishing to chase a barra or a jack should look at either side of the afternoon low tide. Good Fishing Roly Newton Tackle World Tully

French Gold Medallists Coach Australian Skydivers into Taylor Cay Cay

SEAN DENT LAST week, over a period of five days the Far North Freefall Skydiving Club, based out of Tully Aerodrome, hosted the club’s annual Special Cay Boogie, a skydiving event that culminates with spectacular jumps over the Reef and landing on Taylor Cay. According to Timothy Kolln, club president, the chance to jump in Queensland has become so high-

ly coveted that the World Champion French Freefly team, Airwax came back for their second year to coach local skydivers. “These are the best of the best in freeflying and they provide amazing coaching to all our jumpers. We host them for the event, and they impart their skills and knowledge to local Australian jumpers.” Freeflying is a skydiving discipline involving freefalling in various vertical orientations, as

opposed to the traditional "belly-to-earth" orientation. The added complication for these outings were the number of jumpers leaving the plane together (up to 14), avoiding collisions, being aware that the public was attending and watching, and safety – basically not knocking each other out considering the speed they are travelling. The ultimate goal was to land on Taylor Cay on the final day and not in

the water. The challenge is that Taylor Cay is tiny, just 100 metres long and 25 metres wide. Considering you start from 14,000 feet, if you are off be one degree, horizontally or vertically, severe adjustments are called for, requiring a lot of skill. Most jumpers in this kind of event have hundreds of jumps under their belts. Training started on day one, aiming to land within a cordoned off area at the Tully Aerodrome. After

each jump, expert canopy piloting coach, Darren Griggs went through the video with them and gave instructions where necessary. The next day, they had to land on Wongaling Beach, with a few dozen spectators watching, and again in a cordoned off area that mimicked Taylor Cay in size. Then came Dunk Island, and on this occasion, one skydiver landed in the drink and damaged her equipment,

ruling her out of the final jump. On the day of the Taylor Cay jump, 64 skydivers were aiming to complete the quest. “All 64 stuck the landing,” said Kolln. “It was very exciting.” Then the jumpers, who are not allowed to have any alcohol in their system pre-jump, let loose. Kolln described how skydiving is really a very social event and that’s partly why it attracts so many interstate

jumpers (as well as the chance to see the Reef from up high). “People will talk for hours about their jump, and if they’re from far away, they’ll exchange contact details and invite you to stay with them if you come to visit.” It genuinely looked like a buzz even just for the practise jumps at Wongaling Beach. Adrenaline was flowing after they landed, and so was the beer.
