things you may not

know about

Mark Nolan PETER MCCULLAGH

TIMOTHY is actually Mark’s christian name. Timothy Mark Nolan. Always been called Mark. This has confused many residents over the years, and is a great pub trivia question. In the 1960s Mark served as an Altar Boy for 7 years. Both he and Marsha still practice strong faith at Mother of Good Counsel Catholic Church in Innisfail. Mark’s NRL team is the Parramatta EELS. The mighty Blue and Yellow. A supporter for the past 50 years, Mark has enjoyed the heady heights of Parramatta in the 70s and 80s through to the tougher times more recently. “There’s a bottle of Parra Port ready to crack when they win the next premiership.” Unfortunately that bottle could be a vintage port by then. At times they can say that politics can be ‘dog-dirty’ however Mark takes that literally. As a greyhound trainer for more than 25 years, Mark has experienced success with the ‘dish-lickers’ in Brisbane, Townsville and Cairns - including winning the Cairns Cup. Mark did win Greyhound of the Year in 1979, although reliable sources did explain it was not Mark but actually Bill’s Galore that won (the greyhound’s name) and again in 2000 with Heads Together. Both Mark and wife Marsha care for a retired greyhound, Angry Alice who was successful in Brisbane from a few starts. Marsha played an essential role in the greyhound Team Nolan, as catcher and Vet along with being a steadying influence on the trainer (Mark). Later this year, COVID-19 permitting the annual Mayor’s Challenge will be held. Atherton Roosers v Innisfail Leprechauns. There will be divided loyalty in the Nolan household: Marsha being a former Atherton girl and still a mad-keen Roosters fan will be barracking for them, whilst Mark will be passionately cheering on the Leps. Social distancing will be observed, 1.5metres apart, but this will be due to football rivalry and not COVID-19.

At dawn April 25, 1915 troops from Australia, New Zealand, Britain and France stormed ashore at Gallipoli Cove, in what has been described as one of the bloodiest senseless battles during the Great War. This campaign defined forever Australia and New Zealand and indelibly carved April 25 into the foundations of Australia. There were 60 000 Australians at Gallipoli, 26 000 were casualties, 7594 died, in all it was a dark day for the Allied forces. Since that fateful day, Australians have never shied away from international conflicts. Our men and women enlisted or were conscripted and served with honour during many military campaigns throughout our short history as a nation. ANZAC Day serves as a time to reflect and honour the thousands who have served and collectively defined this nation as a fair, just-nation, committed to peace and willing to extend our hand to help our international neighbours. This Saturday, we will gather not at dawn to remember, Australians will line our driveways, standing stoically in silence, quiet reverent peace to pay homage to our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, our forebears who have suffered and built the nation we inhabit today. A nation that has suffered far greater than what our current situation challenges us and a nation that deserves to remember those who serve. The ground swell of support for the ”Driveways at Dawn” campaign in Far North Queensland is now championed by the RSL as well as leading media organisations, including the Cassowary Coast Independent News. Cassowary Coasters are encouraged to show their respect, to remember those who currently serve or have served. Stand in our lounge room, on our balconies, or driveways, 6am this Saturday and spend a moment in quiet reflection, lest we forget. Although we are restricted to essential travel only, Far North Queensland has several sites of great military significance. Closest to home is the small township of El Arish on the Cassowary Coast. Named after the city of Arish in Egypt, where the Australian Light Horsemen saw action. El Arish was founded in 1921 as a soldier settlement town. Settlement towns were areas of land specifically set aside for returning service men. They were able to buy or lease the land on the privisio they remained on the land for five years. The Atherton War Cemetery. This war cemetery adjoins the Atherton General Cemetery on corner of the Kennedy Highway and Rockley Road. The graves are in three plots, with a Cross of Sacrifice standing centrally at the far end.

The area between Atherton and Cairns was used extensively as a training ground for Australian troops involved in war time action in New Guinea, Bougainville and later landings at Aitape-Wewak, Tarakan, Labuan and Balikpapan. Australia’s 6th, 7th and 9th Divisions were based in the Atherton region and from here the RAAF struck at the Japanese forces who were applying pressure from the north and northwest. There are 151 soldiers and 12 airmen of the Australian Forces, plus one member of the Young Men’s Christian Association buried within the war cemetery. The Cairns War Cemetery. The war cemetery, located within the Cairns Cemetery, Martyn Street, Cairns, contains the graves of 70 soldiers, 17 airmen and 10 sailors of the Australian Forces and one Dutch sailor. After the first Japanese raid on Darwin on 19 February 1942, a shuttle service of small

The Afghanistan Avenue of Honour located in Yungaburra was opened and dedicated in 2013. The Avenue of Honour serves as a living memorial to the men, women and explosive detection dogs that served during the Afghanistan campaign. Honouring not just the 42 serving defence members who died during the period 2002 – 2014 in Afghanistan but also the 261 service men and women wounded and the 10 working dogs who in many cases died in the course of their duties detecting explosives and protecting defence personnel. The Afghanistan Avenue of Honour is a special retreat, offering peace and tranquillity for family, friends and ex-service men and women. Located between Cairns and Townsville is the small seafront town of Cardwell, travel 800 km east and you will find the resting place of the USS Lexington.

merchant ships between Cairns and Darwin was introduced. Cairns was also an important air base from which numbers 11 and 20 Catalina General Reconnaissance Bomber Squadrons operated. There are 136 war graves throughout the cemetery. Rocky Creek War Memorial Park is dedicated to those who served at the Rocky Creek Australian Army Hospital or the troops who trained or provided unit support during World War Two. The Memorial Park was established in 1995 and the first commemorative plaques were dedicated on Victory in the Pacific Day August 15, 1995. The site is set adjoining the Kennedy Highway. The Atherton Tablelands played a vital role as a location for an Allied Military Hospital complex. At the time it was recognised as the largest military hospital in the Southern Hemisphere, with approximately 2000 staff and treating approximately 60,000 Australian soldiers.

On May 8, 1942 the USS Lexingtom came under prolonged attack by aircraft of the Japanese Imperial Navy. The Battle for the Coral Sea was unique at that time. The first naval battle where the combatants were not in clear view of each other. It was an air to sea battle. Each year, ex-service members travel to Cardwell to remember and honour those who died in this battle. The Memorial located on Coral Sea Drive, Cardwell acknowledges those who perished during this battle but also those who served. It is a grand setting, leafy and peaceful, perfect to reflect and remember and always worth a visit. The establishment of the Memorial has been the passion of locals from the area, Anne Meeling and Noelene Bryne. There may not be a formal commemoration this year, though as the organisers and local plan for the 80th anniversary in 2022, this memorial will forever provide solace to all who served in naval forces. When the COVID-19 restriction are lifted, please do not wait until ANZAC Day to remember again, take a weekend drive, visit Cardwell and the Tablelands, pop through to Cairns for a weekend. Explore, pause and reflect upon members who paid the price. Remember, you visiting and paying homage respects their sacrifice. It does not glorify war, just an opportunity to remember what we have, and the price paid for what we hold so precious. Perhaps elsewhere in Australia or maybe the world someone just like you is visiting the many memorials honouring the thousands of Australian who died in the Pacific, New Guinea, North Africa or Europe, and just like you, they care, they remember and they will never forget.

LOCAL AFFAIRS

It’s a long a winding road….. PETER MCCULLAGH IT’S a long way from the from being a boiler maker with the South Johnstone Mill to the Mayoral office in the Johnstone Shire hall, but for the new Mayor the journey has been one of discovery and learning, surrounded by a close knit family. The new Cassowary Coast Regional Council Mayor, Councillor Mark Nolan understands and loves the community that now trust him to return a sense of fairness, honesty and accountability to local government in their community. “I was born in the shadows of Bartle Frere and I believe I will forever spend my days here. I love the region, the people and most of all, the caring compassionate way we extend our hand to help our neighbours, there’s something truly magical about that.” Mark Nolan has always been, and it would appear to always remain dedicated to working for the community. Surrounded by ‘Team Nolan’, steadied by wife Marsha, children Shane and Natasha along with three grandchildren and now one great-grandchild, Mark has tirelessly worked within his community for the past 30 plus years. Spending days as a shop steward for the Australian Manufacturing Workings’ Union

(AMWU) followed by serving on the Queensland State Council for the AMWU, and in recent times serving as the President of the Innisfail Meals on Wheels and Chair of the Red Shield Appeal, community service is natural for Mark and ‘Team Nolan’. In December Mark decided to step out from the safety of divisional representation (Division 4) and tilt for the top job. It took a family barbecue first to ensure he had the backing of his entire team before announcing his mayoral candidacy. “Although I had been approached repeatedly by community members and in particular Peter Roberts ( M a r k ’s l o n g serving campaign manager, last four elections), I had to k n o w that I was

supported by my entire extended family. With the nature of local politics here in our region, the commitment on my time, it was important to have the support of my family”. The race to the top job proved a contest between two candidates, Bryce MacDonald and Mark Nolan. The incumbent John Kremastos, languishing several thousand votes behind Nolan in the preliminary count was

The mayoral position was officially declared three weeks after polling, a long three weeks for the majority of candidates.

There will need to be inductions conducted for the five new faces. Education regarding the requirements under the new Belcarra Legislation, plus there is a new budget to bring down in just 8 weeks’ time.

Councillor Nolan has already held preliminary discussions with senior council administration staff, laying the foundations to allow this new council to hit the decks.

“There are many challenges facing us here, rising unemployment, pressure on household budgets, along with the effect upon our community, economy and extended

family by the COVID-19 pandemic and we as a council will need to hit the floor running. “It will be a tough four years, but tough decisions can and will be made. I have spent a lifetime listening and representing workers, and the coming four years will be no different. “I’m here as always for my community, from the grass roots to the business offices, from Cardwell to

Innisfail, I will work tirelessly to bring about the changes we need.” On the important issue as to who would join Councillor Nolan as Deputy Mayor the answer could not have been clearer. “The public vote for their mayor, the councillors elects the deputy, so I’m going to step back and let them sort it out. I know they will do the right thing and we will be stronger for it.”

I really wanted to get more active in 2020 and had started going to the pool

BIO: OWNER/EDITOR of CCIN. Sari was born and raised in Tully. After she completed a Bachelor of Social Work in Townsville she moved to Sydney for ten years. Whilst in Sydney she worked in Youth homelessness at Youth Off The Streets and completed writing courses with the Sydney Writers Centre. Sari returned to FNQ and with the assistance of her father started CCIN. Ten weeks after starting CCIN she was involved in a very serious car accident; sustaining life-threatening injuries. She unable to work for a number of months and her family helped her through this period. When she was well enough she returned to running the Newspaper while continuing to overcome her injuries; coping with a traumatic brain injury. She has been lucky to have supportive staff and a supportive community as she continues to go through a difficult time.

For those people that have big yards to walk in you are lucky, but for those of us that don’t it is going to become increasing difficult to motivate ourselves once everthing goes back to ‘normal.’ The things that I mainly miss about living in a big city is that you have to walk blocks to get from your car to your destination and there are so many places to eat healthy food at a decent price.

Three weeks after polls closed, Trudy was declared successful in her quest to serve as Councillor for Division 3, Cassowary Coast. “To me being a councillor is all about being present and doing the right thing for Division 3 as well as the entire Cassowary Coast. “At the end of this term (2024) I really want to be able to reflect back and say, I made a difference, a real positive difference to my region, I was seen to be in my community and also my community has

After several years away, Trudy settled back in Mission Beach and opened her first business. Why Mission Beach? “Why not, why would you not want to live in Mission Beach?” “The people, the lifestyle with the beach and rainforest, it’s perfect”. The coming term will be challenging for Division 3. The Mayfair 101

saga continues along with a tourism downturn due to COVID-19. More than ever before the community needs a community minded councillor, in touch with business as well as the members of the community. Trudy will join with four new councillors all requiring induction to the reporting and legislation requirements of local government, as well as framing the coming budget. “It will be a steep learning curve for all of us, but I feel we have a council committed to the community and one that will work with the community to build a better and strong Cassowary Coast.”

David Grima elected as new President of Innisfail/Babinda and Tully Nashos branch MARIA GIRGENTI

past 12 months.

THE Innisfail, Babinda and Tully branch of the National Servicemen's Association recently held their AGM at Innisfail RSL where David Grima was elected as the new President.

In his 2019-2020 President's report Wakefield thanked everyone for their attendance and contribution at National Servicemen's Day on February 14 which was again moved indoors to Innisfail RSL this year due to the extreme heatwave conditions.

Charlie Catalano was elected as the new Vice President, George Palmer was re-elected as Treasurer, Margaret Saunders as Secretary, Lynn Catalano as new Minutes Secretary and Di Mecking as Welfare Officer make up the 2020-21 executive committee. Jeff Baines is the new Patron of the National Serviceman's Association branch while Padre Mick Grant will continue in his pastoral role. Committee members are Rob Saunders, Aldo Bensi, John Wakefield and Lawrence Calleja. After he was elected, new President Grima welcomed new and returning members of the committee and wished them well in their roles. He also paid tribute to the great work done by outgoing President John Wakefield and his executive committee for all their hard work over the

During the first week of September, around 25 branch members packed up their their campers and caravans and set off on a four day trip to Chillagoe where some good sized

gold nuggets were discovered. A good number of members also assisted Charlie and Lynn Catalano to settle in when they moved to their new house

and this service is available to any members who may need assistance with the moving process. Members enjoyed a night at Babinda Munro Theatre to watch the

movie 'Danger Close' The Battle of Long Tan, and the annual Christmas luncheon at Innisfail RSL in December capped off a busy and productive year. As he retired from

his role as President, Wakefield expressed his appreciation to all members, supporters and in particular the executive committee for their unwavering support.

Many events took place in 2019 which had a big effect on the branch including the sad loss of two of its long standing members - Ted Herbert in March and Dave Penman in August. In 2019, the branch also received a grant to refurbish their memorial wall at ANZAC Park which started in February and was completed at the end of June. A Christmas in July function was held at Babinda RSL for the very first time which was hailed a huge success with 80 members from all three branches and their guests in attendance. The official opening of the new memorial wall took place in July and in the absence of State President of NSAA Alex Garlin due to illness was unveiled by NSAA Tablelands branch President John Hardy OAM.

COMMUNITY NEWS

SUZANNE (ZAN) BASSETTE PRESIDENT 20 APRIL 2020 MANY thanks to CCIN for the opportunity to contribute a regular column. The CCED is a peak body for our region’s Chambers of Commerce and key business associations. Formed in 2016, the group’s primary role is to promote a strong regional voice for economic growth. Given our current state of affairs, most of us are more interested in survival than growth. Meaning that leaders and business organisations from the top down are looking at ways to shield our economy and jobs and then engi-

neer some kind of reboot, rather than creating growth from known conditions. As part of this, we need a close working relationship with our Council. In review, the last Council put a total focus on developing a strong tourism strategy for the region which took up the bulk of their term in office. This strategy is very important and the next step is to remove duplications of work inside the Council and let the tourism bureau get on with their job. Regrettably the development of an economic roadmap for the region to leverage off and grow businesses and jobs had to wait until just recently when work in this area finally kicked off. Eco-

nomic plans are pretty unsexy stuff but they work a bit like a ship’s guidance system. Without one, our region has sailed around a bit aimlessly in the areas of attracting and growing diversified industries, tertiary training and jobs creation. Many people know how we bleed smart kids to the cities and with Cairns facing a half a billion loss to their economy from an evaporated tourist trade, the old adage of having a Plan B was never more important. Of course, this is all moot. The covid pandemic has completely changed the circumstances in which our region operates. Like everywhere, we have become bubbles of isolation, reeling from the loss of jobs and closed businesses, and facing an uncertain future. Our towns, food establishments and retailers have

Economically Speaking

taken a huge hit, and everyone knows someone who has been affected by the restrictions.

With the various stimulus packages rolling out and people better able to evaluate their positions, we are now being asked to brace ourselves for a slow recovery impacted by negative impacts on our growth and an unknown start date. This is certainly a time for leadership, cooperation and the great Aussie spirit! Shortly after the coronavirus started to overwhelm our lives, our Council went to the polls and despite our fears for the future, voters nevertheless chose to change our local government leadership. In fact, with the exception of Cairns, every Council in FNQ has seen a new Mayor elected in March. No doubt, there will be a lot of analysis

about our local changes but it should be acknowledged that many achievements were made during the last four years and certainly the new Council will want to build on that good work.

As the largest employer in the region with around 340 people on the books, the new Council will face an immediate and mammoth task to offer relief to residents and businesses doing it tough, while not blowing out the budget which is one of the first jobs facing them. Without access to JobKeeper funding, Councils all around the country are being forced to redeploy or let go of staff, and this will be one of many tough decisions our new team will have to consider, including whether to take us back into debt to support stimulus projects at the ground level.

There will be a limited window for community consultation on this budget and no doubt there will be winners and losers. For the Council there will be precious little time before community expectations kick in hard. The key to positive, pro-local decisions rests significantly on a willingness to listen to, and consult with people other than each other and the Council bureaucrats! As part of the FNQ super region, sharing ideas and working together makes sense for all our elected leaders and business organisations and this is something CCED is working hard on. Including the community on our journey 'back to happiness' means everyone has buy-in on what we are doing, and maybe we can finally end the cycle of negativity

and resentment that got out of control during the last Council term and saw constant complaints about the behaviour of both the Council and its protagonists. Bunkering down and cranking up the spin control is not a sustainable relationship approach with your community, but equally it takes a brave person to stand for the job of councillor when so many of your citizens just want to shoot first and ask questions later. In the meantime, it is worth remembering that we are all just folk like each other and we are all experiencing various emotional responses to the unfolding events. Be patient, be kind, and most importantly take care, so we can all come through the coming months as one region and with faith in ourselves to make a comeback.

Poppies in Innisfail RSL garden keep ANZAC spirit alive MARIA GIRGENTI A SPECIAL display of knitted and crocheted poppies hand-made by QCWA member Dot Allen and her craft ladies which have been planted in the front garden at Innisfail RSL. Every year this is

done by Mrs Ellen and her QCWA craft ladies, but this year it will be even more poignant due to COVID-19 restrictions which has resulted in ANZAC services and parades in Australia being cancelled.

cals in the region will miss the Dawn Service, but by having the poppies on display, it gives us and many others the opportunity to honour our servicemen and women and remember and commemorate the ANZAC spirit.

Mrs Allen said it fills her with sadness that this year herself and many lo-

Poppies handcrafted by Dot Allen and her QCWA ladies adorn the front garden at Innisfail RSL to ensure the ANZAC spirit is kept first and foremost in people's minds leading up to ANZAC Day on Saturday

RURAL REPORT

Queensland-grown food safe and in supply QUEENSLAND food producers are maintaining their well-earned reputation for providing safe, quality food during the coronavirus pandemic. Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries Mark Furner reassured consumers that Queensland-grown food is safe to eat and in plentiful supply

across the food distribution chain. “Queensland’s reputation for safe and nutritious produce is built on the dedication of businesses along the many food supply chains and is supported by longstanding food safety compliance activities undertaken by local governments and Queensland Government agen-

cies,” Mr Furner said. “Consumers can feel confident in Queensland’s food supply system and I encourage all Queenslanders to #eatqld by buying local produce where possible to support our food producers and businesses during this challenging time. “Eating

Queensland

produce supports the creation of jobs in a strong Queensland economy and keeps Queenslanders healthy. “If everyone buys Queensland-produced meat, seafood, dairy, eggs, fruit, nuts and vegies, we will all be doing our bit to support our vibrant and robust agriculture sector.”

Safe Food Production Queensland chief executive officer Jim Dodds assured Queensland consumers that there is no evidence to indicate the COVID-19 virus is transmitted by food. “COVID-19 is a respiratory illness spread from human-to-human,” Mr Dodds said.

“As always, good hygiene is the best mechanism to prevent transmission of any virus and maintaining effective cleaning of contact surfaces reduces the risk of the spread. “Consumers should follow good personal hygiene and food handling practices when purchasing and preparing food,

such as washing their hands frequently, washing fruit and vegetables in clean running water, and keeping raw and cooked foods

separate

during

food preparation.” For the latest information about COVID-19 in Queensland, visit www. covid19.qld.gov.au/

will

be involved in the new PAUSE program starting this semester where students from Prep to Year 6 will participate in short weekly well-being lessons that teach positive strategies and behaviours needed for emotional self-regulation. PAUSE teaches the three key parts of the brain that are responsible for thinking, emotions and long-term memory.

The program provides 18 lessons of Neuroscience, Mindfulness and Positive Education training. Students will learn to 'pause' so they can respond calmly to a situation rather than reacting with frustration or anger.

Innisfail State School captains for 2020 are Naman and Felicity; vice captains are Abby and Jacinta while sports house captains are Taejah and Cohen (Crocodiles) and Josiphine and Jascin (Cassowaries).

This program will be supported by school Guidance Officer Rebecca Albert, Head of Curriculum Rachel Ashley and Principal Tania Kaitara.

Students participated in rugby league and netball gala days during first term, school captains and vice captains recently participated in a highly suc-

cessful GRIP leadership workshop in Cairns which involved many schools in the Canecutter cluster and Far North Queensland region. The school's website has recently been upgraded and has a new look and feel which is mobile phone and tablet friendly and important updates can be found by visiting Innisfail State Primary School Facebook page.

Greg Shannon WITH Anzac day fast approaching it is timely to recount some of the famous rugby league players from yesteryear who also served Australia in times of war. One such player, whom we have mentioned before is Duncan Thompson. Many generations of schoolkids wore “Duncan

Then & Now

Thomson’s” boots and his iconic chain of sport stores were once common place. Long before he owned sport stores though Duncan was a champion footballer and later became a well-known coach. Many scholars of the game regard him as the father of modern ay coaching with his theory of “contract

football” still seen in play today, with quick play the balls and followed by short sharp passing and second phase play. Duncan was working as a bank teller in Ipswich and playing the new rugby code when the war started in 1914. In 1915 he was selected to play for Qld in what was the last interstate series before

Duncan Thompson 1919, and in this Qld side were 9 North Queensland based players, mainly from Townsville including Arch Foley, whom the Foley shield was named after and Duncan McIvor, Cowboys captain Michael Morgan’s great grandfather. By 1916 Duncan had transferred to Sydney with the bank and played briefly for North Sydney before enlisting in the Australian Imperial Force after turning 21. He left Australia as a member of the Qld based 49th battalion and was wounded,

shot through the lung while on night patrol near the town of Dernancourt, France. After a long recovery Duncan was told by Doctors that he shouldn’t play contact sport again, with only one healthy lung. Advice he obviously didn’t take! After the war he made the 1919 Qld side and then the Australian 1919 side to tour NZ. He then joined the North Sydney club again and helped them win premierships in 1921 and 22 and also played for NSW and

made the 1921-22 Kangaroo tour to the UK. Returning to Qld in 1924, Duncan moved to Toowoomba and for the next two years his status in the game sky rocketed as he led the Toowoomba and Qld sides to many great victories. He also made the 1924 Australian side and made history by being part of the first Australian side to have an all Qld backline, a feat not repeated until 2009, when Johnathon Thurston was the Australian halfback. During World War 2 Duncan again re-entered

service in for his country as an amenities officer, based a lot of the time in North Qld organizing sport for the troops. Following World War 2 he moved into coaching and in the 1950s developed a rugby league style which can still be seen in play today. He was inducted into the Rugby league Hall of fame in 2005. A patriotic Australian who served his country in both times of war and peace. Lest We Forget.

ANOTHER great weekend weather wise, certainly very different to the first half of the year last year. Many boats took advantage of these great conditions and travelled out wide to fish the main reefs. Both fisherman and spearos reported very good catches of Coral Trout, with many boats coming close to managing their bag limits. Those that chose to fish the deep water also did well with numerous reports of catches of Nannygai, Job fish and Red Emperor. There were also a few early season Spanish Mackerel caught mostly on floaters by boats fishing reef pressure points.

Closer in around the various shoals in the shipping channel it was a different scenario, the fishing was tough. There were a few Spanish and School Mackerel caught but basically it was hard going with most boats electing to move out to the close in reefs or back to the islands. These shoals have been fishing well, maybe they will be back again in numbers during the next break in the weather. Closer in around the islands the bottom fishing has been reasonably good but only during the early hours of the morning or of a evening, and mainly on bread and butter species such as Grass Sweet Lip and just legal Nannygai. Reports of Grunter and Fingermark have been few and far between. There has been a reasonable amount of bait ( not the massive schools

Fishing Comp

we see on good years) however there has been very little surface action, a few Queen Fish and some Tuna, but the fish are not staying on the surface feeding only the odd splash. My brother and I managed a couple of good Queen fish after quite a bit of effort on Monday. At this stage the Spanish Mackerel have also been scarce around the islands, it is still early, hopefully a few Macks will start to arrive soon. The fishing in the estuaries has been a little quiet a result of the recent rain and the very large tides. The mud crabs have been the only exception with some reasonable catches in the coastal creeks. Hopefully we should start to see some bread and butter species such as Grunter, Whiting and Bream start to be caught in numbers once the water levels

settle and begin to clear. Most of the catches of estuary species reported have come from the Hinchinbrook area with some very good numbers of Grunter and some nice Threadfin salmon reported. I can`t see why there wouldn’t have been some Barra and Mangrove Jack action around the heart of the channel however I have heard of no reports at this stage. The freshwater has fished well with plenty of Barra, Sooty Grunter and the odd Jungle Perch being caught. Most of the action has been around the mouth of the feeder creeks and drains. There has also been an unusual amount of Jacks caught in the middle freshwater reaches. Unfortunately the weather forecast for this coming weekend is for

15 to 20 knot south easterly winds. One weather site has it slightly lighter inshore so there is a slim chance that the larger boats may be able to fish the islands. The smaller run in the tides combined with the forecast of only light rain this week should allow the water clarity to clear up and hopefully result in the fishing in the coastal creeks to improve. If chasing Grunter I like either side of the morning high tide. Either side of the afternoon low tide is looking very good to chase Mangrove Jacks and Barra. Another option would be to pump some yabbies and fish for whiting during the late afternoon run in tide. Don`t forget the crab pots.

Perfect weather conditions prevailed on Howie Reef for De Brincat family on Easter Monday where Coby caught a nannygai (approximately 65cm) just after sunrise, while his sister Lily caught a trevally (approximately 80cm) around 8.30am with a rod and spinning wheel using squid and pilchards for bait.

Former Brisbane Broncos coach Anthony Griffin passes on valuable skills to local rugby league coaches

Special guest speaker Anthony Griffin (standing far right) with Northern Pride coaches, QRL staff and local junior, senior and women coaches who participated in the two day Northern Pride professional development camp held at Daradgee MARIA GIRGENTI FORTY seven junior and senior coaches recently participated in a Northern Pride Professional Development Camp at Daradgee Environmental Education Centre which featured guest speaker, former Brisbane Broncos coach Anthony Griffin. Four female coaches attended from the Tablelands and most clubs in the Cairns District Rugby League competition were represented, including Tully Tigers new A grade coach Paul Ketchell,

Steven Barrett, Steven Morice, Anthony Emmi and Innisfail reserve grade coach Ken Laza with 20 coaches staying overnight at the centre. The two day camp was run by Northern Pride Under 20s coach Dave Scott, Intrust Super Cup coach Ty Williams, Intrust Super Cup Assistant coach Bevan Walker and Operations Manager Chey Bird. Northern Pride Mal Meninga Under 18s coach Bobby Berg, Strength and conditioning Scott Callaghan, Alby Anderson NRL Development and Rob Hall QRL Well-being

Northern Division also assisted. Griffin passed on advice and expertise on every element of the game and it provided a great resources and opportunity for individual coaches to speak with him on an oneto-one basis. Former Brisbane Broncos coach, Griffin has been involved in professional coaching for 23 years. During his illustrious career, he was a member of the Melbourne Storm coaching staff, two grand finals, a Queensland Cup premiership, as well as six out of seven

NRL finals series with the Brisbane Broncos and Penrith Panthers. In 2019, Griffin helped guide Tonga to two of their best victories over England and Australia in Rugby League Oceania Cup. His wealth of knowledge and experience as a coach keeps him busy facilitating coaching and mentoring workshops one-to-one, groups, workplaces, teams in any industry, as well as as a key note speaker at events. His key values to achieving success are

leadership and resilience and he has consulted with clubs, sporting organisations, corporate and government bodies. After conducting extensive reviews of their operations and systems he has implemented new structures and processes to improve overall individual and company performance. Bird said himself and Williams drilled down on which areas to cover then produced the content and said they took a holistic approach to the game such as how to coach, what to coach and coaches in a

mentor role. "We hope these coaches will then take all this information back to their own clubs as they deal with their own individual teams." Focus areas included strength and conditioning, player training and game play, nutrition, video analysis on individual core skills and team play which were then transferred to on-field drills. Northern Pride physiotherapist delivered a session around injury prevention, rehabilitation, time frame for recovery to train and play while Rob Hall had a session on

sports psychology with a focus on player mindset, mental health awareness and mindfulness. The talent identification component on how to identify, harness and capture talented local rugby league players. An open forum was also held for coaches to generate discussion on the state of the game in junior and senior competitions in the region, pathways program and what the Northern Pride club provides for players.
