Most of her scenes involved nudity as the ageing artist's model. Mirren insisted she play them all herself including the full-frontal scene with the waves rising and falling above and below her pubic area. It was the sixties and the sexual revolution was taking effect. Ad-

WHEN artist Norman Lindsay wrote Age of Consent, he would hardly have visualised his work, which followed his own life, being a vehicle starring two famous movie stars in 1969. The leading man was James Mason, already an established household name in films. The then twenty-twoyear-old Shakespearean actor, Helen Mirren, was cast in her first film role as the leading lady.

To top that off, the doorway into the hut they built as the artist's home was too small to allow the cameras inside. When eventually completed it played to the house full sign at its Sydney theatre for eight months before being available to theatres around the country. The 2005 remake of the entire film is available and includes all the nude scenes cut from the film by the

prudish distributors overseas. It is unquestionable that Norman Lindsay is the artist depicted. His famous depiction of nudes surfaces again in the film 'Sirens' made in 1994. This film features the voluptuous Elle McPherson and others, but it is the young Helen Mirren's nude scenes in 'Age of Consent' that still piques the interest fifty years on. In the opening scene, James Mason is in bed with actress Clarissa Kaye and as life can follow art they spent many years after the film reliving that situation. Clarissa became Mason's second wife.

Those who know Dunk will recognise the Spit as one of the main areas used in the film. Back then the island was owned by Eric McIllree, founder of Avis Rent a car. It was the beginning of a metamorphosis into a true holiday resort when purchased by TAA in 1972.

ditionally, the Ron Taylor filmed underwater scenes did not involve using a stand in at any time. It was Mirren's forte, playing all the parts the script called for. Australian actor, Neva Carr Glyn, starred as Mirren's mother, 'Ma'. Glyn's name was synonymous with radio and stage plays throughout the 1940s and 1950s. The long running ABC radio series, Blue Hills, features on Glyn’s long resume. Filmed for the most part on Dunk Island in 1968, and released in 1969, it was then and still is today undoubtedly one of Australia's best-known films. Taking Dunk Island

It doesn’t help when there are people there in the present who are trying to do the right thing, and that isn’t recognized due to the poor behaviour that occurred 20 years ago. In every community there are always those people who are willing to behave badly and there needs to be regulations in place to ensure that people who are not doing the right thing are prosecuted by law: that does not mean we create fines for everyone (that include that people who are working hard to do the right thing) because of the few people who choose to do the wrong thing.

sowary Coast I feel it is important to get different groups to communicate with each other. Sadly, that isn’t the norm. It seems to take people moving into other areas, meeting and speaking

to people directly for them to hear what is really happening. This contributes to the polarization of thought and distrust that comes from people not communicating directly. When a person is not aware of what is currently happening in an area, that can lead to their comments (lack of current information) detracting from what is occurring there. This may be because the last piece of information they had was from bad things that occurred in the area 20 years ago, and without going and finding out what is occurring today, living with the belief that the same things are happening.

2500 Revellers Rave About Cassowary Festival 2019

SEAN DENT THE 2019 Cassowary Festival, held at Ulysses Park beside the beach on Porter Promenade, Mission Beach, was one giant party last Saturday, with 2500 in attendance. Some came from out of state to attend this annual event. Many wore costumes that revved up the atmosphere on a lively day, and to quote Cassowary Coast Mayor, John Kremastos, “There was a really great vibe there.” But it was a tale of two parties really. The weather was perfect for a day designed to get people out and enjoying themselves, and by all accounts, they did just that. There was a colourful parade with the large nature and wildlife sculptures, full of festival goers getting into the mood, wearing the cassowary colours of red black and blue. “Local musicians entertained all day with many original compositions in celebration of where they live and the special natural environment of Mission Beach,” said Liz Gallie, Festival Committee Member. Judy Brady, who coordinated the children’s activities, said “The stripeys tent was a beehive of activity throughout the day. The kids loved creating artworks about the rainforest and reef. At one stage there were at least 20 kids helping accomplished local artist, Lavinia Letheby, create a paint-

ing which will be raffled to raise funds for the festival.” The park was packed full with a large number of displays set up by groups and individuals from around the Wet Tropics, sharing information about the work they do for the environment and wildlife. There was an artist tent with a display of local art and market stalls selling their produce. And the food court had a variety of food styles, which completed the festival atmosphere. So, yes, everyone had fun, and part of Gallie’s approach to the important work she’s committed her life to is to get people to turn up at this event. She knows she won’t get 2500 people to attend a lecture. A better approach is to throw a party, use it to raise money, and let the guests metaphorically mingle and rub shoulders with the important facts almost incidentally. That brings us to the other party, the real focus for Gallie. “Each year the festival organisers focus on a particular action that will contribute to a sustainable future. This year the fundraiser was held to help Mission Beach Cassowaries Inc raise $6500 to complete the cassowary corridor mapping along the coastal section of Mission Beach,” she said.

Even people in the region who are not environmentally inclined, they know the beauty of the unique cassowary birdlife and the importance of it to our region – if only as a tourist attraction. The cassowary corridor mapping project is essentially a plan to map out the areas where the cassowaries live and breed so that any future roads or developments will hopefully take a wide berth and let them co-exist without disruption. In case there is any doubt where the renowned local environmentalist stands, Gallie has little interest in the seeing the region as a tourist destination in terms of people coming for adventure holidays. She’d like the area to be promoted and appreciated for its unique natural beauty. “We are incredibly lucky to live here. It’s not just a beautiful area; it’s one of only three high biodiversity areas in the wet tropics, and the Mission Beach area has more diversity than anywhere else. The region has more going for it than even The Daintree in some ways,” said Gallie. She was somewhat happy that Mayor Kremastos took time to come and talk to her about her concerns regarding protecting this habitat, including the cassowaries, but was not all that enamoured with his comment that it was all about finding the right balance (between nature and business interests). “We’re well past finding the right balance,” she said, pointing to the fact that 80% of the lowland coastal rain forests have been cleared. “You might lose one whole ecosystem by clearing any more if it.” Gallie sees such things as her longterm concerns though and seems to understand the concept of picking her bat-

tles. For last weekend’s festival, she was focused on the positives. “This was the community’s festival. We set out to make it a lot of fun and really draw the people out to it from the bottom up. The purpose of it was to celebrate what we’ve got, to celebrate how amazing this place is, and show how much we appreciate it.” To that end, Gallie was happy with how it turned out and the fact that they raised about $3000 of the $6500 she needs to complete the cassowary corridor mapping along the coastal section of Mission Beach. She was even happier that Peter Rowles of C4 committed to make up the shortfall. Rowles feels it is essential to get this mapping done pronto before Mayfair Incorporated swoops in and implements its tourist boom plans. “The mapping should only take about two months,” he said. As people left the festival, many went to Gallie to praise her for a beautiful event. Mission Beach Tourism manager, Evelyn Swarbrick, congratulated the organisers for their great work and commitment to the festival. “Well done for the Cassowary Festival on Saturday, another success story,” she said. “We are excited to build on the success of this year’s event. We got lots of feedback and suggestions about what could be included next year,” said Gallie. “We are focused on using local entertainers and artists. We want the festival to grow naturally, to be a creative expression that represents the strength of our community and their commitment to protect the natural environment.” (And maybe, possibly, perhaps to raise lots of money that she can funnel into her efforts to keep our natural habitats beautiful.)

Do you have an ESKIE? In the same way that we prepare an emergency kit with candles, tin food a radio etc. we can prepare and better cope with the emotional stress our family may experience by creating an ESKIE – Emotional Support Kit In Emergencies. You can put anything in your ESKIE that you and your family might need to make you feel better, help distract you or be something to do together as a family. You could include things like: books; cuddly toys; decks of cards; games; and music in your ESKIE. Living in the Far North, we know to prepare an emergency kit for cyclone season or check the safety of the car or boat before we go on a trip. However, we should also prepare ourselves and those around us for what we might feel, think and do during a stressful event or an emergency. People exhibit a wide range of emotional responses to a crisis and stress. Worry, anger, sadness, nervousness, excitement and confusion can lead people of all ages to behave in ways that are different from how they usually act. So, how can we prepare?

Remember to take time and have fun with your family. Children don’t stay too long and then you are alone. You need to build up relationship with your family when kids are young. Life is short and it’s up to us make our lives beautiful. Can’t blame anyone, need to move on and give thanks to our creator

every day. This week I have two little birds: Yellow-spotted Honeyeater and Mistletoebird (lady) Yellow-spotted Honeyeater is endemic to North QLD. Mistletoebirds are found all over Australia. Males are colourful: black above and underparts Red, off-white, black line middle of belly. Blessings to you all. STOP LOOK AND LISTEN Animals, people and your families. Love, Katriina

One of the best and easiest things to do is to be prepared. Learn about stress and what you can do to decrease your everyday stress, so that you’re better able to cope with a big stressful event. You can also sit down as a family and plan for stressful situations. You can start by thinking about the following questions: 1. How do you and your family respond to stress? What is the same and what is different? What helps and what doesn’t. 2. What stressful events could happen? What will you need to do? How will it affect your family? 3. Know your neighbours. Who else in your street or local area might need your help or might help you? Dealing with everyday stress will help you cope better in a crisis. Some of the things you can do to deal with everyday stress include: • Work on those things that cause worry or disagreements now. • Look after yourself and take time out to exercise, go fishing, read a book, etc. • Plan fun activities with family and friends. Create a “work-life” balance • Ask for help if you need it, supports are available. The Tully Support Centre is funded by the Queensland Government and services communities throughout the Cassowary Coast. The Tully Support Centre is located at 54 Bryant Street in Tully, opening hours Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9am to 1pm & 2pm to 4pm and Wednesday 9am to 1pm & 2pm to 6pm.

Any ratepayers wanted a coun- council I lead,” he said, cil and mayor focussing “won’t be spending monies on unnecessary legal

costs or bloated media departments. Executives needed to focus on key tasks.” Council should become more efficient at its core businesses with a more co-ordinated approach requiring some changes to how engagement with ratepayers takes place. Part of this revised approach would be reviewing the organisational structure. Macdonald questioned why a council of our size needed both a CEO plus an Executive Manager to function effectively. “Power and responsibility needs to return to elected councillors rather than executives. This Council is so distracted,” he felt, “it couldn’t even design a roadside vendors’ policy in a timely manner, let alone sort out the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement for council workers, the negotiations about which have now dragged on for around two years.” “A common complaint I am hearing regularly,” he said, “relates to the road network and the unsealed road maintenance policy. Council's current maintenance intervention levels policy re unsealed roads needs to be revised, with possible amendments to allow for more regular maintenance.”

Macdonald claimed he would make it a priority to lobby the state and federal governments to create a better road network. Macdonald understood that to ensure that the Cassowary Coast Region is a viable and vibrant place to live, invest and grow economically, it is paramount that council minimizes rate increases, whilst at the same time maintaining appropriate standards of service and infrastructure. He acknowledged that rate increases had been higher when he was deputy mayor compared with the current council, but pointed out that the previous council had to deal, not only with the costs of the council amalgamations of the Cardwell and Johnstone Shires, but also cyclone Yasi, and the rundown of water, sewage etc infrastructure by the Johnstone Shire, which had led to the appointment of an Administrator. He said he was also amused when he heard the current council boasting that they had paid off all the council’s debt without mentioning that it was from the cash reserves built up by the previous council due to its prudent financial management. Over coming weeks we plan to hear from the other mayoral candidates.

MARIA GIRGENTI WORLD War II veteran Father John O'Connor from Tully had a lovely surprise last Thursday when he received shiny new replicas of his original military medals which had been lost years earlier. Bishop James Foley presented the medals to Father O'Connor at an intimate ceremony held at Cairns RSL. The five original medals were believed to have been lost during Cyclone Yasi in 2011 when O'Connor's house at Tully Heads suffered damage and during his moves while working for the forestry department. Father Kerry Costigan, a retired priest from Toowoomba Diocese and ex-Naval padre is a long-time friend of O'Connor. Costigan, with the assistance of his brother, who is part of Warwick RSL organised the medals and when they arrived he contacted Father O'Connor to let him know he would be travelling up to personally present them to him. O'Connor, aged 94 was very pleased to receive the missing medals which he said will be worn proudly on ANZAC Day. He was humbled by his friend's generosity, but Costigan said it was a pleasure to be able to honour O'Connor's sacrifice to his country by obtaining the medals so he

can wear them with honour and distinction. After dreams of being a spit fire pilot, he joined the air force on April 22, 1943 at the age of 18 and was sent to Sydney to be a wireless air operator and gunner. He spent five months in Maryborough to learn Morse code at 25 words per minute sending and receiving and a year at a gunnery school in East Sale, Victoria before going overseas. While overseas, he served in 460 Lancaster Bomber Squadron based in Binbrook, England. Part of his humanitarian efforts were to drop food parcels beyond the battle lines to starving Dutch people, where he added lollies for the children. He was honourably discharged from the Air Force at the end of World War II in 1945 with the rank of Warrant Officer, the most senior non-commissioned rank in the Air Force. The five replacement medals were: 1939-1945 Star awarded for military service for operations carried out by air crew personnel; Air Crew Europe Star for operational flying from the United Kingdom bases over Europe; Defence Medal for at least six months service in a prescribed non-operation area subject to enemy air attack or closely threatened both in Australia and overseas.

O'Connor was also awarded a War Medal 1939-1945 for at least 28 days full time service in the Armed Forces between September 3, 1939 - September 2, 1945, and the Australia Service Medal 1939-1945 to recognise the services of members of the Australian Armed Services during World War II. Years later, O'Connor discovered his vocation and was ordained as a priest by Bishop O'Donnell on June 30, 1958 at St Stephen's Cathedral in Brisbane. O'Connor volunteered to serve in the Cairns diocese in 1959 where he was posted to Tully from 1959 until 1962, before going to Dimbulah as Parish Priest in 1963 and Parish Priest of Silkwood in 1979. In 1990, he semi-retired back at Tully Heads and for a number of years has been a resident at Tully Nursing Home.

IN the town of Tully, he goes by the name Eli – no surname required because everyone knows him. Eli’s growth the past few years is in part a testament to technology and in part a testament to the spirit of the young man, now 23 years old. On October 18, he will be the inspiration for what he hopes will make Tully Queensland’s Loudest Town. The event is designed to raise money for Hear and Say, an or-

as all the rest of us. He’s at the point now where he sees a speech therapist at Hear and Say every three months and they check his hearing and do any adjustments that need to be done. He also has a remote lesson with the speech therapist every week on his iPad. This has led to huge jumps in his speech development. “It will continue to improve his hearing and speech, and his life because he gets less frustrated now that people can understand him. That’s the beauty of it. The thing about Eli is he wants people to understand him and he hates when people fob him off (as in pretend they understand him). He can spell and read, so if he has to, he will write down what he means.” Eli loves music and film

Then on October 12, the Queensland’s Loudest Day event will start with a sausage sizzle at 7:00am at Violet Smith Park, followed by the community photo in Butler Street at 8:00am. Raffles will follow, the first of which will be the Lego table that was built for Eli by various community members. Then there will be a $500 shopping spree raffle which includes vouchers of the winner’s choice of shops in Tully.

He has a volunteer mail run three days a week and does odd jobs for Bottom Pub, where he gets paid a normal wage for the few hours a week he works. “This community has been very supportive, and the Loudest Shirt day is Eli’s way of giving back to the community,” Linda said. She also emphasised how important it is to Eli’s self-esteem that he does his work even if there are days when he’d rather sit at home.

His mother, Linda, knows that. “He was born with Down Syndrome and at the age of nine months, diagnosed with a hearing impairment. He had different kinds of hearing aids that weren’t real effective. Then when he was 16, he got the implants in his head, and they’re really amazing,” she said. The implant hooks into his brain and is fairly complex, but basically it’s a magnetized hearing processor that now allows him to hear nearly as well

COMMUNITY NEWS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank you to Council Workers On behalf of the Cassowary Festival committee, we would like to send out a sincere thank you to Todd, Scotty and all the crew of the CCRC workers who helped set up the Cassowary Festival Site. You guys go above and beyond your job description! You are all good natured and helpful and make the work of setting up the layout for the Festival work so smoothly. Not only your set-up, but pack-down as well; we really appreciate your time and effort. Many thanks From the Committee for the Community Cassowary Festival www.cassowaryfestival.com Thank you to our Sponsors On behalf of the Mission Beach Cassowary Festival committee, we would like to sincerely thank our generous Sponsors who provided financial and in-kind support to continue to stage our “homegrown” Cassowary Festival. CCRC, Bendigo Bank, Paronella Park, Terrain NRM, Mission Beach Rotary, WPSQ (Hinchinbrook, Tully branch) Djiru and Girringun, Mission Beach Resort, Mission Arts, C4 and Mission Beach Tourism. The unofficial estimate was of 2500 vis-

itors on the day, the park looked colourful, the art and music was great, the message on sustainability of the environment was well received and the exit surveys were all positive. The committee is so grateful for the support of the business and local community. It was a lovely day. Many thanks, The MB Cassowary Festival Committee. P.S. Next year the Grand Parade will be held later in the day accompanied by lots of music! Keep sharing the F.A.S.T message By Stroke Foundation Chief Executive Officer Sharon McGowan National Stroke Week may be over for another year, but raising awareness of the F.A.S.T. signs of stroke is an ongoing mission we can all embrace. I was heartened by the thousands of volunteers right around the country who took part in events throughout September 2-8 to raise awareness of stroke and its symptoms in their local communities. On behalf of the Stroke Foundation, I can’t thank you enough. I encourage all Australians to keep sharing the potentially life-saving F.A.S.T. acronym with their friends, family and colleagues all year round. It involves asking these simple questions if you sus-

pect a stroke: Face - Check their face. Has their mouth drooped? Arms - Can they lift both arms? Speech - Is their speech slurred? Do they understand you? Time - is critical If you see any of these signs call triple zero (000) straight away The more people who know this message and call triple zero at the first sign of stroke, the better. Stroke is a devastating disease that strikes the brain and can change lives in an instant, but thanks to medical advancements in recent decades many people are able to make a good recovery if they are treated quickly and the damage is stopped. While 80 percent of strokes display one or more of the F.A.S.T. signs, other symptoms can present including dizziness, loss of balance or vision, headache and difficulty swallowing. Remember, anyone can have a stroke. If you or someone else experiences any of the signs of stroke, even if they last a few minutes, call triple zero (000) immediately. Taking FAST action could save a life. Sharon McGowan Chief Executive Officer Stroke Foundation

Australian Anti Ice Campaign Calls on Local Businesses for Support SEAN DENT A few weeks ago, we ran a threepart series about how Ice dealers from countries like China and Mexico are ramping up to run our communities into the ground. It’s not that Ice is so much a lethal drug; it’s that it is a drug that sucks the life out of our kids when they are young and susceptible to taking risks. The AAIC (Australian Anti Ice Campaign) is an organisation that is taking the fight to the schools. They feel the government is not doing anything, the police are ineffective, and as things stand, the kids see it as a harmless recreational drug. Ice is not in any way harmless. It has long-term consequences that can shorten people’s lives and certainly steal their will to live. AAIC recruits former Ice addicts, people who have been through the wringer and know how hard it is to escape Ice’s clutches. Their theory is that kids are more likely to listen to these guest speakers based on their real-life experiences than teachers, priests, police or parents giving them a lecture. AAIC is working hard to try to get around to all the schools in the region and they are calling on businesses in the area to support them. To date, they have received

$5000 from Innisfail Rotary and some sponsors associated with the club. That covered Innisfail High and Good Counsel – grades 10 to 12. Some of the Innisfail sponsors have committed for three years, so AAIC can continue with the program there into the future. They need approximately $5000 to get all of Tully schools sorted for this year but hope to secure more to lock in years two and three now. Tully Rotary donated $2000 and Mission Beach a further $500. Tully Support Centre committed $500 and is keen to get AAIC to train its staff to get the message out to more local young people. AAIC has also reached out to the Cassowary Coast Regional Council in the hope that they see the importance of this program. This is a very important cause for our region and any investment has long-term positive effects. Any businesses who are able to help grow their fund, please contact Glenn Ivers directly at 0491 479 211 or glenn@australianantiicecampaign.org. “We are incredibly grateful for all support we’ve already received in the area. We believe we are saving lives every time we walk into a school, so we can't thank the community enough, but we need more help,” said Ivers.

GARDENING IN PARADISE

Dragonfruit flowers are stunning and attract many bees.

JENNY’S TROPICAL GARDENING

September 2019

A Vanda orchid we bought at the Orchid Expo in Innisfail.

We also bought this stunning Galeopetalum orchid.

One of the beautiful Dendrobium orchids now in my collection.

SO much is happening in our gardens since the start of spring. Many tropical fruit trees, shrubs and vines are providing us with a delicious smorgasboard of tastes and colour! These include lychees, papaya, soursops, dragonfruits, passionfruits, pineapples and mangoes. The dry weather has meant we’ve had to water often, but watering deeply is important as it will penetrate into the soil around plants roots and will mean the watering needs to done less often. Mulching is very good for keeping moisture in the ground also. Remember to keep the mulch a few centimetres away from the tree trunk. Marcotted fruit trees and citrus hate to have their roots disturbed, so mulching to keep weed growth from under the trees is excellent.

STUNNING ORCHIDS! We went to the Orchid Expo in Innisfail for the first time last Saturday and it was totally amazing! The huge variety of gorgeous orchids was fabulous and the bromeliads for sale were also stunning! Many thanks to the hard-working club members who organise this event....and the food was great too! I highly recommend seeing it again next year. We came away with a treasure trove of gorgeous orchids and are now in the process of moving our orchid houses to a different part of the yard and displaying them to their best advantage. It is always lovely to have flowers that can be enjoyed at all times throughout the year. I love colour and flowers and I find orchids are an excellent way to achieve this. It is wise to buy orchids at different months through the year and that way you will always have some beautiful flowers. Orchids love to have good light with protection from the hot sun required by many, good air flow, most like to be watered every couple of days, and fertilised as recommended by the particular type of orchid fertilisers used. There are many potting mediums available and they are all good. The main requirement is to make sure the orchids are not in a mixture that stays wet for too long. I always say it is wise to remove orchids from a mix that has a lot of spaghnum moss in it, as this stays very wet and the plant can rot. At Mitre 10 we have a good range of potting mediums and fertilisers which are specific to orchids, and I am very happy to assist with any queries. I work in the mornings of Monday, Wednesday and Friday. ADENIUMS. These beautiful flowering plants are commonly known as Desert Roses. They love our tropical sun and will perform well either in full sun or part-shade and are another plant that absolutely thrives when we experience a long dry season. These plants have a swollen trunk when grown from seed and they produce trumpet-shaped blooms which are available in a range of colours, either single or double. Desert roses are very prone to rotting and require a gritty, welldrained soil.

Many gardeners find they grow well when put on the western side of the house, which receives plenty of sun and protection from some rain. They are quite easy to graft and look great when a few different colours are grafted onto one plant. I find by spraying with a fertiliser called Bloom Booster, by Manutec, my desert roses produce many flowers. Call in to see me at Mitre 10 Garden Centre on Monday, Wednesday or Friday mornings for assistance with any gardening query. SOME GARDEN TIPS: • Banana skins are rich in calcium, sodium, sulphur, magnesium and phosphates and this makes them great for putting around roses, geraniums and gerberas and into the back of staghorns. • Ladybirds are a gardeners’ friend and they can eat 400 aphids per week. Until next month, happy gardening,

Jenny.

Gigs

& Interests By Mel Bowman-Finn

AS it gets balmier, we venture out so much more, and it’s great to see we have plenty planned each week across the region. I hope you all enjoyed our last edition where events like the Cassowary Festival, the Tully Flower Show and Mission Arts Awards night, were well attended. Another great pleasure of publishing a gig guide is making it possible to inform residents when a local fundraiser is taking place. Like the one for Loud Shirt Day, where some locals are hosting an event at the Mt Tyson Hotel (AKA Bottom Pub), making

an effort to raise some funds for Eli Wardell’s favourite cause, Hear and Say. Providing some entertainment on Friday October 4 starring local band, Mates Rates, to keep efforts joyful and light hearted and to get LOUD in the name of day. Proceeds from this event will go to the overall fundraising for Eli, 23 years old. Eli was born with Down Syndrome and diagnosed with profound hearing loss at nine months old. Eli is again this year taking part getting the whole town involved in Hear and Say’s annual fundraiser, Loud

Shirt Day on Friday, October 18th. Wear your shirt loud and donate where you can. If you and your friends or group are hosting any kind of fundraiser be sure to let me know via news@ccin.com.au Check out this month’s centre page gig guide and make your own plans to fill the school holidays with some social family fun. Where you heard it on the Grapevine…

Tully State School Spring Fair

“We Are Australian”

BECAUSE we are a rural area one of the things, I like to do with the kids is go to different events held by all the local schools. The upcoming Tully State School Spring Fair looks like another with plenty to offer for the family. The day starts at 4:00pm and goes into the evening where they are boasting a jumping castle, Haunted House and Laser Tag, along with some footy toss and games for all. There will be a lolly drop from the local Fire Brigade, glow sticks, face painting and hair braiding. While of course there is also the opportunity to browse the stalls, a mega raffle and a cent sale for some interactive fun. You can consider your dinner sorted with a BBQ and canteen. A bar will be open for adults. As well as a cake stall, donut stand and a chocolate stall to entice us with the carnival feel of dessert delights. With class performances presented by the students for all to enjoy, the great part is the family has a good time whilst the funds go to support the school, which is a such a bonus when cruising out for some entertainment. Let’s also say a big thank you to the local businesses who have shown support for their cent sale; go and see the generosity for yourself and get your tickets to win some super local prizes. Saturday 26th October 4:00pm 21 Mars Street, Tully

THE Cassowary Coast Region is alive with artistic talent and it’s great to be able to spruik some of the best, like our one-man army looping wizard that is Pauly P. Pauly who was born and has been based in the hinterland of Byron Bay, where he played with some of Northern NSW’s best, often also feels his heart hailing from Bingil Bay, Mission Beach where he went to school. He certainly attributes many highlights of his career in the far north including playing at festivals like Wallaby Creek and Coalessence and support playing with one of his fave bands, Katchafire, right here at the Mission Beach Resort. He has also supported an array of other massive artists such as Sticky Fingers, Ocean Alley, Salmonella Dub and John Butler Trio to name a few. Pauly’s music is based on a conscious social message, blurring the lines between reggae, dub, funk, rock and hip hop. Over his career he is a multi-instrumentalist who has appeared in a variety of roles in a variety of different bands. Incorporating loops on the guitar, bass and drums, Pauly’s highly skilled and groovy performances like at the recent Cassowary Festival are a must see. Internationally, Pauly P has played in the UK and in Ireland with visions of taking his music overseas again in the future, whilst in Australia he has featured nationally at festivals such as Byron Bay Blues Fest, Island Vibe, Kuranda Roots and many others. Currently working on some new tunes and releases. You can follow Pauly P on Instagram music and grab his latest tunes from triple J unearthed, iTunes and Spotify. Or better yet, check out this month’s gig guide and see where you can catch him live right here in Mission Beach.

RURAL REPORT NQ Businesses Partner Commitment to Crop Nutrition and Environmental Outcomes

Dunk Island Resort Sells? DOMINIC MOBBS THE media has been all agog in recent days regarding the $30m plus acquisition of the Dunk Island Resort by Mayfair Iconic Properties, a member of the Mayfair 101 investment management group. Mayfair has also indicated that they plan to acquire over 200 properties in Mission Beach. Local sources reveal that some have already been acquired, many on 5% deposits and settlement terms of up to 6 months. Mayfair’s stated strategy supposedly involves investing over $1.6billion over a 15 year period upgrading the Dunk resort plus mainland

tourism infrastructure, including a golf course and improvements to local airports. This will all allegedly generate over 10,520 direct and indirect jobs. It is hard not to be just a little sceptical as it less than a year since Property Bay announced their acquisition of Dunk, also with ambitious plans. Their proposal was for a five-star, low-rise 160-room resort with multiple restaurants, swimming pools, a day spa plus a championship golf course and conference centre, luxury villas, up to 500 beachfront ecosuites and apartments etc. This did not proceed and CCIN understands the purchaser forfeited

their deposit. Stuart Duplock, CEO, Mayfair Iconic Properties stated to CCIN that their purchase of Dunk is unconditional. However, he would not confirm that any deposit made was non-refundable, nor that final settlement would occur before the end of 2019 claiming such “details regarding the specifics of the sale remain commercial in confidence.” While it appears that Mayfair has team members experienced in property development, less clear is their source of funds. In any event, few will complain about the publicity it is bringing to the Cassowary Coast.

TWO of north Queensland’s most progressive agricultural service companies have combined forces to benefit sugar cane farmers – and the environment – throughout growing regions nationwide. With a mutual commitment to crop nutrition and good environmental outcomes, liquid fertiliser company LiquaForce and biotech company Pacific Bio now offer two of their key products in combination with each other. Every load of LiquaForce BigShot liquid fertiliser – scientifically and independently proven to reduce nitrogen leaching by up to 17 per cent – is now delivered to growers with the additional benefits of Pacific Bio’s new PlantJuice™ product. Developed by Pacific Bio in conjunction with researchers from Townsville’s James Cook University, PlantJuice™ is a bio stimulant produced from green macroalgae (seaweed) sustainably grown and harvested in north Queensland. Managing Director of LiquaForce, Cameron Liddle said BigShot is specifically developed for ratoon

application and includes an organic carbon base that works perfectly with PlantJuice™ -- which is marketed by LiquaForce as AL-GROW in north Queensland. “BigShot works to stablise the release of nitrogen in the soil and also increases the efficiency of nutrients that are available to the cane plant,” Liddle said. “This supports superfast cane plant emergence as well as improved root and shoot growth.” “To combine that with the seaweed base of PlantJuice™, or AL-GROW as we market it, we’re able to offer growers exemplary crop growth support as well as superior benefits to the health of the soil.” Pacific Bio’s Commercial Manager, Gregg Supple said the partnership is a win not only for growers, but the environment too. “The green macroalgae we harvest comes from our very own aquaculture operations in the Burdekin, where it’s used to extract nu-

trients from water before they are released into the environment.” “This means it’s a closed-loop system that’s better for the environment, especially compared to wild-harvest and beachcast collected seaweed products,” he said. “PlantJuice™ contains a wide range of nutrients, plant hormones and amino acids that are fundamental building blocks for plant growth and soil health.” The compatibility between products extends to compatibility between the two companies as well. Cameron Liddle said LiquaForce is proud to work with others who value the importance of

supporting farmers while employing environmentally leading practices. “It’s important to us that we work with companies who genuinely understand the environment in these locations and feel the same level of obligation to help introduce better, more sustainable farming systems. “It’s critical that the people we partner with also value the relationships with their customers in the same way we do, and we’ve definitely found that with Pacific Bio.”

Pacific Bio’s Gregg Supple added, “Two progressive QLD companies providing real benefits to cane growers is an exciting development.”

AROUND THE SCHOOLS

St John's Silkwood Girls Win MARIA GIRGENTI ST JOHN'S School, Silkwood girl’s team has broken Tully State School's six year winning streak by claiming this year's Tully Cluster Super 8s T20 Blast Cricket title. The girl’s team scored 91 runs and defeated St Clare's School who fell short after they scored 79. There was real excitement about their win and

bringing home the unique trophy, as it was the first time the school competed, having only recently joined the Cassowary Coast Southern area. The winning team was made up of Kelsey Apap, Arianna Martin, Indah Johnston, Ella Johnston, Rose Nguyen, Keira Kuhnell, Aleesha Charleston and Ella Nielsen. Hard work certainly paid off for the girls who were trained by Stuart Russell after school once

or twice a week, where they focused on honing their batting, bowling and fielding skills. A total of 200 students took part from Year 4 -6 and with seven boys teams, six girls teams and 11 mixed teams.

Billy's Buddies Ball Skills Program Gains Popularity in Innisfail MARIA GIRGENTI

Multicultural Day Brings the World to Tully State School SEAN DENT

IT was the last day of the school term and the kids probably wouldn’t get a lot of work done, so Tully State School took them on a trip around the world. No, actually, they brought the world to Tully State School. It was Multicultural Day, their sign boasted, and all were welcome. Tully State School families represent 29 different countries from around the world, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait islands. For the most part the gathering consisted of about 200 parents, teachers, and children from Tully State School, Tully Kindy and Murray Upper State. They’d obviously spent a lot of time preparing for the event. The first thing that jumped out was it was close to lunchtime and there was food available. As anyone from the area would expect, the Italian Mom contingent was prominent and insistent that you come try their fare. Nobody escaped their booth without eating. They had more tables nearby representing other countries in the northern hemisphere,

such as Ireland and Canada, but they weren’t offering food, just information about those countries. Diving deeper into the belly of the schoolgrounds you’d find other parts of the world represented, all the continents seemed to be represented excepting Antarctica, and the kids manning them appeared to have studied up on the areas they represented and were enthused to answer questions. Of course, Australia was also represented, including the native owners of this land. To that end, they had a couple of indigenous spear-throwing teachers, which was both popular and full of energy. Who doesn’t want to learn to hunt with a spear? Shane Muriata, the Community Liasion Engagement Officer at Tully State, was on hand to tell us about a local indigenous kid who not only chucked a spear long enough to reach the target about 25 metres away, he stuck the spear in the blue! Some of the indigenous women demonstrated their home skills such as weaving, which had a small gathering of enthusiasts.

Cat Clarke and her merry band of Deadly Bush chefs were on hand with some samples of their food. Clarke told us that a video post of their recent Deadly Bush Foods dinner night had gone viral, gaining more than 130,000 views. They also had traditional games such as the sack run and a little game of touch football. To finish off the day, as well as the term for the kids and teachers, there was a concert with a wide array of performance art on display, and again you could tell a lot of work went into both their costumes and performances. There was shared enjoyment with both performers and onlookers enjoying the various songs, instruments, acting out of stories and dances from the varied cultures of the performers. New Zealand closed this annual mini-Expo with a pretty accomplished rendition of the Haka. Everyone loved that, maybe because it signalled the end, but also because they were so good. The performers themselves seemed pretty happy with their performance, and that was true across the board.

FORMER NRL, Queensland and Australian legend Billy Slater, who had humble beginnings in Innisfail junior rugby league ranks is loving giving back to the community where it all started through his award-winning Billy's Buddies program which is gaining popularity in his hometown of Innisfail. A free trial was recently held at Callendar Park where 10 youngsters attended with more children expected to register. The non-contact ball sports program, which is designed and supervised by Billy Slater, aims to teach children aged 2 - 6 the fundamentals of rugby league such as kicking, passing and catching in a fun and safe environment. It's all about improving children's physical health, hand eye coordination and gross motor skills through fun, exciting theme-based games and activities. During the Billy's Buddies sessions in Innisfail every Friday, 20 youngsters have been learning through analogies to pass the ball from their pocket and catch with digger arms, as well as kicking goals at the end of an obstacle course. The program which started in Innisfail in April runs all year round with two 40-minute sessions held at Callendar Park, Innisfail every Friday from 4:00-4:40pm and 4:40pm

Jim Ferguson played well for a 66 nett, including missing a couple of short putts that could have given him the lead. 3 more players shone in the afternoon conditions.

Tennis Stars Getting Competitive MARIA GIRGENTI

GLORIOUS weather prevailed for the Innisfail Nerada Open Tennis Championships, sponsored by Nerada Tea for the past 24 years and held recently at Innisfail and District Tennis Association which completed the tournament circuit for Far North Queensland. Tournament director Wayne Fielder said despite a lower number of nominations than previous years, 84 players from across the state and interstate converged on the Innisfail courts to contest the many events on the cards. Fielder

said that the highlight of the tournament was the Australian Money Tournament (AMT) Men’s Singles event which saw 20 players all vying for the Australian Ranking Points and prize money on offer. Top seed Louis Clark of Byron Bay, who is ranked 115 in Australia, took out this event from second seed Baez Nielsen of Brisbane (ranked 144 in Australia) in a very tight match which went down to the wire with the match being decided in a super tie-break 6/1 4/6 104. Many of these young players play tennis full, time

chasing tournaments across the country and the Australian Ranking Points attached to them. In the AMT Men's Doubles, top seeds Clark and Nielsen teamed up and defeated a couple of very talented 14-yearold players, Sam Fancutt and William Jesser of Brisbane, 6/2 6/1. Fancutt hails from the prodigious Fancutt tennis family of Brisbane, with his cousin Thomas taking out this event in 2014. The AMT Ladies Singles event was won by rising junior tennis star Sienna Jensen

of Cairns when she defeated her good friend and last year’s champion Leacy Argent, also of Cairns, in a very tight match which also went to a super tie break with the final result 2/6 7/5 10-2. Cassowary Coast players also tasted success, with Peter Greven finding form to claim the A Men’s Singles from local lad Zac Forster needing a super tie break to decide the match 4/6 6/4 10-4. Greven's son, Kai, also played brilliant tennis to win the Under-12 Boys Champion’s trophy. Tully tennis ace Chace Cre-

ma proved too strong for his opponent in the Under-14 Boys Singles winning this event in style from Franco Barania 6/3 6/4. Chante Spanton was runner-up in the B Grade Ladies Singles, while Kim Humphrey and Rhonda Valmadre were runners-up in the B Grade Ladies Doubles. As predicted, Geoff Smart had a great tournament teaming up with Scott Cunlisse of Clifton Beach to take out the A Men’s Doubles from Tully father/son duo Lenny and Xavier Collins. Smart then teamed up with

Roslyn Cecchi to win the A Grade Mixed Doubles from their much-fancied opponents James and Katie Sheridan of Cairns. Returning from an injury break, Karla Cutts and partner Scott Cunlisse of Clifton Beach defeated Lenny Collins and Rhonda Valmadre to take out the B Grade Mixed Doubles, with a super tie-break needed to decide the match 1/6 7/6 10-6. The Green Ball Under-10 Combo Doubles event was taken out by Xavier and Jarrah Humphreys of Innisfail Tennis Club.

Kabaddi Cup Celebrates Multiculturalism

MARIA GIRGENTI

THE FNQ Sports and Welfare Club recently held their fifth annual Innisfail Kabaddi Cup at Goondi Sports Reserve which attracted between 700 and 1,000 people. Teams travelled from Brisbane, Coffs Harbour, Melbourne and Perth to play kabaddi, an ancient game that originated in North India. Before the games commenced, an Ardas (Sikh prayer) was said which is done before

the opening of the games and to wish for a successful future. The Kabaddi Cup was officially opened by Mayor John Kremastos before he and Dom Arcella from major sponsor Arcella Bananas then cut the special cake and was followed by the official cutting of the ribbon. Event organisers were especially grateful to Dom from Arcella Bananas for their generous sponsorship of $5,000, as well as the supply of 200 pizzas. One of the organising

committee members, Pav said they plan to make this event the biggest multicultural event in North Queensland from Mackay to Cairns and are hoping more people will support the event in the future. The Punjabi cultural celebration also included traditional dancing, folk singing, bhangra music, turban competition and entertainment for youngsters including musical chairs, games and tug 'o' war. Indian snacks, ice cream and drinks were also served throughout the day. Kabaddi, the popular and rough contact sport which featured in the 1936 Berlin Olympics can be played by women and children, but it is normally played by teenagers. Five teams of seven players competed in a round robin competition on opposite sides of a field measuring 13 metres wide by 10 metres long. Commentary for the games was done by Amrik Khosa Kotla and Gaggi Mann. The basic rules are for teams take turns to send players called 'raiders' across the centre line into the opposing half. The raider must take a breath, run into opposition territory and tag one or more

members of the opposite team and run back to their own half before inhaling again. The raider will repeatedly yell 'kabaddi' before they cross the centreline and must continue to do so until they are safely back in their own half. Each player tagged is worth one point if the raider returns safely without inhaling. Both teams alternate between raiding and defending for two halves of 20 minutes each with a five-minute break between halves. After half time, both teams swap sides of the court and the team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner. Bhagwanpur from Brisbane were Innisfail Kabaddi Cup winners and Perth were runners up, while the Best Raider were Sucha Dharmiwal and Jinder Chahal and Best Stoppers were Aman Tibba and Jagga Chitti. Jasbeer Kaur Bhullar and Mandeep Kaur Sandhu won first and second prize respectively in musical chairs. The cultural festivities continued well into the afternoon and early evening, and event organisers wished to thank, the community for their attendance, as well as all their supporters and sponsors for making the event a success.

Tigers News with Shane Muriata WELL what a weekend of footy that was, and to top it off, I managed to sleep in on Saturday for the first time since my brothers kids were born. The 2019 Cairns District Rugby League Grand Final between the Mossman Sharks and Innisfail Leprechauns proved all that and chips and gravy, with the Sharks taking home the shield in an epic encounter. It was always going to be a close game between two great and proud clubs, but Sharks winger Stanley Anu had other ideas to make this game his. To say one player can’t be the difference in one game, Stanley proved too much for the men in green as he crossed the try line 4 times to cap a memorable evening for all the fans who made the trip south and to make sure the Cup headed back towards the Cape

for another 12 months stint as champions. At fulltime, Mossman coach Brian Murgha revealed his game plan which proved to be the masterstroke “We were always going to put Stanley in at hooker later in the game, because his speed is unmatched. Once he got his tries on the wing, it was only a matter of time for him to carve up the middle. After we lost our first 3 games, a lot people wrote us off, but we believed. I’m going to saviour this one for a while.” As the champagne overflowed for the victors, Innisfail were left ruing another missed opportunity at glory, and the pain was evident at full time when some players couldn’t believe they let another chance slip by. With champion coach Leon Hallie stepping aside, it will be massive shoes to fill for anyone who steps into the coaches box and motivate the Leps back into a finals force in 2020.

Then there were four. With the South Sydney Rabbithohs eliminating the much hated Manly Sea Eagles and the might of the Melbourne Storm trashing the Parramatta Eels finals parade, four teams remain to set up one of the most anticipated Grand Final Qualifiers in recent memory. While we all knew Melbourne and the Roosters were going to be thereabouts come September footy, how good is it to see the green machine amongst the final contenders for the heavyweight title belt. South Sydney looked less impressive against Manly, so the game against the Raiders should be a hard one to pick. I am so glad to see only either the Bondi team or the Storms making it to the last dance, because I think we are already over both teams being so good. My opinion is that whoever wins out of Cameron Smiths men or the Rooster is that they will not win the GF the next week against either the Raiders or the Rabbits, because these two teams will play their grand final game against each other. As with the two green teams, whoever wins

this one, will likely lift the legendary trophy at the end of next Sunday night. Can the master coach Bennett conjure something scarier than the Conjuring? Will Ricky Stuart finally end the suffering and fill the Olympic Stadium on grand final day with the world’s biggest Viking clap? Has Craig Bellamy and Cameron Smith got another week-long wrestling show to make Vince McMahon blush? Or has the Roosters got one more Latrell Mitchell special on the menu left to make Red Roosters great again? All will be revealed this weekend, so don’t miss any of the action. Same Bat time, same Bat Channel. As the school holidays make another appearance this year in the form of the September break, it becomes a very tricky time of the year for families looking to keep the kiddies entertained. I don’t claim to have all the answers, but will give you an insight into maybe what not to do. Soo often as is the case when you deal with children on a daily bases during the

holidays, I have come across a lot of smart, well equipped and well prepared parents who themselves were taught the same lessons they are passing on. Their children are out working jobs, fixing, building things or just out and about keeping themselves busy. I didn’t know this then, but when my dad would wake us up early on those school holidays many moons ago to go out for the day with relatives or work on the car or do odd jobs for people, he wasn’t interrupting our beauty sleep (although that’s what I thought) he was setting us up to make sure we didn’t sit around and complain that there was nothing to do. He was preparing us to do things for ourselves, instead of waiting, keeping us motivated to be law abiding, not law breakers. I get to many calls a week from law enforcement agencies explaining to me that this child needs to be spoken to or this teenager is making some bad choices that end up involving the police and their parents standing around blaming everyone else for. As in most cases when I

finally intervene, 99% of the time it could have been avoided if they were shown some sort of positive attention and given a chance to shine. That attention may not come from their parents, but you can give it. This community’s strength is that we rarely leave kids on Struggle Street, and I guess this is what this part is about. If you in some way have a positive effect on a younger adult or a child who just maybe friends with your kids, then give a spare seat to take them on a trip of rod casting, bike riding or just visiting the small smoke. If you know yourself they struggle at life in general, don’t jump on the bandwagon of disappointed people who judge everyone, and be the one they remember. If you think feeling good when your child is proud of you is great, just wait until your child appreciates the life you have given them when they understand other children’s family situation. If we can show that, then I think we will be in with a good chance of making good people.

Following the matches, South Gippsland band, Mates Rates will play a concert featuring an energetic mix of covers and

original songs. Anthony Emmi, the President of Tully Tigers is the organiser of the event. Emmi had some optimistic news for those concerned about the readiness of the new Tully Grandstand at the Showgrounds. “I’ve spoken with the contractors. They have a 40-week contract that started two weeks ago, and they told me the grandstand will definitely be finished before the 2020 Tully Show.”

SPORT

UNFORTUNATELY, the sea conditions were very marginal for boating over the weekend so most anglers were confined to the estuaries. This was a disappointment with the very popular Kurrimine Fishing and Spearing competition being held. I haven`t heard the results yet, but I would imagine the majority of the fishing would have been in sheltered waters. The coastal creeks have been fishing extremely well with the Barra and Mangrove Jacks well and truly on the bite. The trick is to locate the fish, I have found they are not evenly distributed throughout the system at the moment, so you need to find the areas they are concentrated in. Another wild card is the lure you are using, my normal favourites such as Zerek prawns have not been producing. During Mondays trip, we found the Entice paddle tail soft plastics were the gun lure. It certainly pays to keep changing lures until you find success. The coastal creeks have also been produc-

ing reasonable numbers of school sized Grunter, along with Flathead, Trevally and good numbers of Pikey Bream. The Hinchinbrook area is also fishing well with good numbers of Mangrove Jacks being caught in the creeks. Barra are being caught, however again you need to find them. This is a normal problem with the Hinchinbrook area, it is often feast or famine. As water conditions warm things will get back to normal. Reports are coming in of some very good quality Grunter being caught in Missionary Bay. Fingermark are also starting to show up both in the creeks in Missionary Bay and along the drop offs in the Hinchinbrook Channel. The Rotary Take-A-Kid-Fishing day was a huge success with over a 100 kids taking part, it was great to see the familiar faces turning up. The casting competition I run was a huge success, I am looking forward to being there again next year. It’s fantastic to see all the families there just enjoying the morning. Well done Rotary and all the sponsors, it’s what makes our little community so special. The freshwater reaches of the Tully river have started to fish as the feeder creeks start to dry out and force the Sooty Grunter and Jungle Perch down into the main river. There have also

been some nice Barra caught by anglers fishing the weedy backwaters. The sooty Grunter will start to move upstream to breed over the next couple of weeks, which will make the Tully Gorge area very popular. At the time of writing this report which is very early in the week, it’s good news for this weekend with the weather bureau predicting 5 to 10 knots. Lately it seems by the time the weekend arrives the prediction is a day out so make certain you get a up to date report. The fishing out wide has been very good with plenty of Coral Trout and Red Throat Emperor being caught. This is also a great time of year to head out wide to the shelf, besides chasing the sought-after Red Emperor there is also good numbers of Yellow Fin Tuna and Wahoo around. This weekend either side of the early morning high tide will be perfect to chase Grunter in the Hinchinbrook area or to chase a Spanish Mackerel around the islands. Those that would like to fish for Barra and Jacks will find the tides a little large, but should concentrate their efforts around that afternoon low tide. It is an extremely low afternoon tide so you will have to time your trip to take this into account, there will be access problems at several ramps. Good Fishing Roly Newton Tackle World Tully

Great Community Effort for Take-a-Kid-Fishing Day

SEAN DENT WHAT started off as a small event with 30 entrants in 2006, has grown into a fairly big annual event. The turnout for Take-a-Kid-Fishing Day was large this year, with more than 200 people in attendance, including 117 kids on boats and onshore trying to catch the biggest fish, crabs, or whatever they could get their hooks and traps onto. The turnout on a brilliant Sunday at Hull Heads was especially impressive considering it was competing with the very popular Kurrimine Fishing and Spearing competition, but Take-a-Kid-Fishing Day holds a special place in the hearts of this community. For starters, every contestant received a free bag of goodies to the value of around $40 that included 50 Tackle Word hooks, Mackay’s hats, and Sunsense SPF50+ sunscreen from Tully Raycare – the latter two items part of the education of young fishers that the sun in our region is to be respected. Education is always a big theme at this annual event which has been going on since 2006. Organiser Ron Hunt from the Rotary Club invited Phil Laycock from GBRMPA and Officer Nigel Strong from Qld Fisheries to advise the youngsters about sustainable fishing, releasing any unwanted catch with care and some of the new fishing regulations. One of the instructions was to cut the line and release any undersized fish. “Ninety percent of fish released this way survive, versus 40% of fish where you try to remove the hook. The fish you release today will be legal when you catch them in the years to come,” said Laycock. As well as the free goodies bag, there were 46 prizes for the biggest catch in eight categories: the four age groups spread among fishers aged under five up to 17-years-old, and split between boat fishing and shore fishing. There were also 20 lucky draws, so more than half the contestants left with something. The prizes – all donated – were quite impressive, the main ones having a value of $50 or more and even the lucky door prizes were valued at about $20. A lot of kids went home happy. But put prizes aside because the kids were having a blast all day regardless of the haul they may or may not have taken home. The fishing itself, of course, is a real buzz for them. As well as the fun of trying to catch one, they then got to have them measured and compared with other catches of the day like a real fishing comp.

Apart from the fishing, a lot of them loved bouncing on the inner tube and noshing down a sausage or two. When the crab-tying demonstration took place, most of the youngsters crowded around to watch, some so enthralled they crawled under the table to get a bit closer. Too close in some cases, and they had to be called back. Hunt explained that the mommy crab had to be returned to the water, and a lot of kids ran down to say goodbye. But of all the attractions, none was more enticing than the casting competition. Roly Newton from Tackle World Tully hosted this event and offered a lure or two (and sometimes five) for anyone who could land the line inside the tube from about 15 metres. How many gave it a go? You couldn’t keep up; they kept coming back for another go and Roly interacted with every single one of them, geeing them up, telling them how great they were, and joking with them for a solid two hours. You also can’t say enough about the sponsors. The major sponsors for the day were Tackle World Tully, Cav’s Marine & Outdoors, MacKay’s Bananas and Cathy’s Family Day Care. Other sponsors contributed where they could, including Mitre 10, Australian Banana Growers and Tully Raycare. Sue Pollard again donated four special prizes in memory of her husband Barry who was dedicated to kids’ sports. This is one of those special local events whose enthusiasm is difficult to encapsulate with words. If you haven’t witnessed it, you probably have a two-dimensional image of what goes on there that will never do it justice. I would suggest you consider not just going next year, but offering to help out and become a part of it. You’ll leave with a smile on your face, forever enriched by the experience. As always, it will be held next September, the first Sunday of school holidays. This Family day is a Project of Tully Rotary which is a not-for-profit service club. Entry is free for kids younger than 18, and a BBQ lunch is provided free for the kids, and for adults a nominal charge ($4/steak). Ron Hunt asked us to convey thanks to the Tully Red Cross who supplied the crowd with tea, coffee, cakes and drinks and Tully Coastguard for the continued use of their facilities, and to NQ Press, who did a beautiful job on the advertisement. Also, to Tully Rotary through its Vocational Service (Youth) program.
