Whistleblower Team: Seven International Scientists SARI HYYTINEN IN our September 17th edition 2019, CCIN covered concerns of local farmers regarding the continued imposition being placed on them due to farming runoff on the Great Barrier Reef. Due to their concerns a delegate which included: Martin Bella, Green Shirt President who coordinated the trip, Mario Quagliata, LNP/ Northern Green Shirt member and Heidi Quagliata, his wife, Peter Jackson a Northern Green Shirt member/ A Cane Farmer from Euramo, John Picollo a cane farmer from Gordonvale, Cameron Vecchio a young farmer, Bryce MacDonald, the Kennedy LNP chairman and Professor Peter Ridd had travelled to Canberra to express their concerns to the Federal government.

Their journey to Canberra resulted in a senate inquiry called ‘Identification of leading practices in ensuring evidence-based regulation of farm practices that impact water quality outcomes in the Great Barrier Reef’, which was referred by the federal

government on 17 September 2019 to the Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport References Committee for inquiry and report by 1 October 2020.

The parliament website Submissions closed on 8 November 2019 and a large number of submissions have been made to this inquiry. The submissions haven’t been published at the time of this week’s edition.

Seven international scientists who are from Australia, Canada, Norway and Sweden, and now known colloquially as ‘the whistleblower team’ or the ‘magnificent 7’, found a 100% replication fail regarding eight experiments that showed the negative impacts on coral reef fish due to acidification. All of the experiments replicated were conducted by the same organization (James Cook University’s (JCU) Coral Reef Centre), which informs our local farmers that their runoff is having significant impact on the reef.

There are ongoing impacts of this on our indigenous community, but as we are now ethnically diverse, I personally want us to celebrate our strengths.

I think we need to define ‘Australian’ culture. What is ‘Australian’ culture? When I have spoken to people, I hear that the sense of humour of Australians and not taking ourselves too seriously is a trait that people visiting Australia enjoy. But sadly, when talking to people that travel as part of their jobs, they say that the current divided nature of Australia means that we are losing our sense of humour which is one of the best parts of the culture that is being created.

Now in 2020, it places the current inhabitants in a difficult situation. Australia is truly a multicultural society as, since being founded, people from a lot of different cultures have immigrated to Australia.

It is true that Australia was founded in 1901 on the back of a sad beginning, where the indigenous people suffered abuse at the hands of British who came to Sydney and claimed the land as a colony for Great Britain in 1788. Their suffering lasted a long time as it wasn’t until 1962 only 58years ago that the Menzies government gave the indigenous people the right to vote.

of our indigenous people. Every culture is unique, so how do we as a society celebrate our diversity without allowing for division?

Whistleblower Team: Seven International Scientists CONTINUED FROM PG1

Murray Jones at 4CA Cairns interviewed Dr Timothy Clark from Deakin University regarding the new research just released on the impact of acidification on tropical fish. Murray and Clark discussed how the magnificent 7 had spent three years replicating the experiments completed by JCU (Clark was lead) and were unable to replicate the finding from JCU Coral Reef Centre. The eight research studies completed by JCU that were replicated indicated that increased CO2 levels from climate change was responsible for strange and destructive behaviours in reef fish. They indicated that CO2 made the reef fish hyperactive, altered their vision, causing them to be attracted rather than repelled by the smell of predators: all the factors which could cause populations to be dramatically reduced.

When CCIN asked Professor Peter Ridd what he

believed is the concern for our local farmers regarding the 100% replication fail he responded: "Tully farmers are being told by science organisations like JCU that they are killing the reef. I have documented numerous problems with this ‘science’ and have called for some quality checks, which the science organisations have refused to do. Now this study comes along, by 7 independent international scientists, and demonstrates very clearly that JCU's marine biologists have a serious problem.

They were 100% wrong on all the work that was checked. Farmers have a right to be very angry that the Queensland government has forced legislation on farmers based on ‘science’ that is dubious at best."

CCIN contacted JCU regarding the 100% replication failure of 8 of their experiments. The head of Media and Communications at JCU Mr Richard Davis commented that, “The JCU scientists involved in the original

work are in the process of preparing a detailed rebuttal to the Clark et al paper and through this they will explain how the study did not adequately replicate the experiments.”

Oona Lonnstedt, who is one of the authors of the failed JCU studies, completed her PhD in Marine Biology at JCU and was found guilty of scientific fraud in Sweden two years ago. JCU are only now beginning to investigate the research conducted by Lonnstedt.

When CCIN questioned why it has taken JCU two years to investigate Lonnstedt Davis informed us, “JCU is aware of only one ocean acidification study led by Oona Lonnstedt and that is not compared by the Clark et al paper.”

An alternative source reports that Lonnstedt is on one of the 8 studies that failed replication and her three PhD supervisors are on all the others.

Davis informed CCIN that JCU stands by the quality of their research.

Teams from Cairns assisted local crews to repair some pretty severe damage to poles and wires, with more than 5,000 customers having their power restored since the storm, and worked hard to get as many of those still without power back online by the evening of the next day.

The community has been amazing in encouraging our field troops and demonstrated extreme patience.

Residents paid tribute to Ergon workers for working throughout the

night trying to get power restored to everyone as soon as possible, as well as emergency services personnel who were out and about directing traffic in unsafe areas and putting everyone's safety first.

Many of these men and women were called out from their homes, without having eaten dinner to conduct emergency repairs in poor conditions.

After the freak storm, Council workers also faced a big clean up on top of their usual work load.

Innisfail Toastmasters Club Celebrates 50 Years of Members' Excellence MARIA GIRGENTI DISTINGUISHED guests and their partners along with past and current members of Innisfail Toastmasters Club recently gathered to celebrate its 50th anniversary at a special luncheon at Innisfail Brothers Leagues Club.

Special guests included: Barbara Nielsen, District 69 Program Quality Director, and her friend Margaret Clancey, TM Past Division Director, Leigh-Anne Metcalfe DTM, District 69 Northern Division Director and Greg Okulov, Area 9 Director.

Nicky Jurd DTM, District 69 Public Relations Officer and her partner Kai Haffenden DTM and members of Cairns TM club, Clare Murphy past International Director, Lt Government Education,

District Governor and past member of Innisfail Toastmasters.

Sandra Simpson past District 69 Governor Division TLI Coordinator, Roseann Funston past 32 Director and former Innisfail club coach, Christine Reghenzani DTM past Northern Division Director and Past Area 32 Director and her husband John DTM Past Area 32 Director were also in attendance.

Attendees travelled from Victoria, Brisbane, Townsville, Malanda and Cairns and included Past Presidents Dennis Dillon, Garry Nichols and Maureen Colgrave, while long serving members Mark and Brian Cairns were represented by their daughter Lorraine.

Chartered members Slav Sumich and Mike Gaia were present, while

chartered member Joe Lizzio who sadly passed away in July was represented by his daughter Santina Lizzio.

Inspirational guest speakers were Nielsen, Metcalfe, Okulov and Jurd with a thought-provoking Table Topics segment led by Haffenden and poems recited by Jane Murphy and Dennis Dillon.

Connie Riera, aged 96, who was acknowledged for 40 years of service and her grandson Jack Dyason were given the honour of cutting the cake.

In 1968, Captain Allan Young who was the Harbour Master at the time was the first Chairman and it took a year to muster up the 21 members required to charter the club.

Young was transferred during that first year so when the club was char-

tered on September 15, 1969, Ralph Harland was the first President.

Innisfail Toastmasters is part of District 69 with meetings originally held at Queens Hotel and it was a men's only club until women were welcomed as members in late 1970s.

Alma Smith, Norma Stewart and Riera were the first three women to join the club.

The club has experienced many ups and downs and seen many changes and improvements over the past 50 years, such as Toastmasters International's new branding, as well as an updated and modernised educational program to Pathways.

Club members have experienced lots of success having won many awards, ribbons, medals and trophies at club, area

and district levels.

Joe Lizzio won District 69 Table Topics Contest in 1969, while in 2000 Innisfail club won District 69 Travel Gavel and for two years in 2013-14 and 2017-18 attained Distinguished Club Award.

Red skies by Dunk Island, In sunset flames of gold.

Cloud gallons a-skimmer, Bach with rainbow laden hold.

Beaches damp and gleaming, The curlew’s lonely speech, Why these have been forever, The charms of Mission Beach.

Sounds of she-oaks swaying, The rearing of the tide, The restless shadows gleaming, Far along the mountain side.

Noble forest giants, Wet fern fronds within reach, How can I but remember, The charms of Mission Beach.

I search for golden wonders, Not victories of man, For palms that swayed o’er tribesmen, Since forest the race began.

For the winds in Forest grasses, Where insect voices reach.

Throughout the countless summers, The charms of Mission Beach.

I see the Hill’s blue waters, Where crocs do glide along.

Hear bird music and bush echo, And the crickets evensong.

See Magpies, hawks, hear cockatoos,

Proclaim in noisy screech.

On the mountains blue that aid the view The charms of Mission Beach.

The gold-tipped morn is smiling, On the lofty cliffs so grand.

On rocks and boulders dotted, Along the silver strand, On streams that from the mountains, Spill from each rugged breach.

Through Rocky caves to waves that lave The charms of Mission Beach.

TULLY NURSING HOME NEWS

Our local nursing home has been a hive of activity recently, following the re-opening of one half of the Rainforest wing. In April last year, the wing experienced significant water damage, resulting in a major refurbishment. As the name suggests, Rainforest provides residents with a stunning backdrop of lush rainforest and a warm, spacious environment. Rooms are available for respite and residential care. The Tully Nursing Home is a community-run organisation, with nine local professional and business people on the Board of Directors.

COMMUNITY NEWS Cardwell Community Pulls Together in Bushfire Appeal – Raises Over $6200 in One Day SEAN DENT

ON Saturday, Thea Ormonde led a large group in Cardwell that raised $6244.35 for the Bushfire Appeal. People came from as far away as Cairns to take part in the fundraiser at Cardwell Historic Precinct in Victoria Street next to the Police Station.

More than 250 people turned up to donate their time and money, creating a great atmosphere for a worthy cause. Ormonde said, “As a town that has gone through a devas-

tating natural disaster in 2011 with Cyclone Yasi, we were so appreciative and grateful of the generosity from our fellow Aussies, now it is our turn to give back and help out.”

Two of the candidates for Division 1, incumbent Councillor and Lions member, Glenn Raleigh, and newly announced candidate, Gabi Plumm, put aside their differences for one day to encourage and take part in raising money. Raleigh played the part of good sport dur-

ing the Rangers Hose-Off, in which he took a good dosing of water. Plumm took the opportunity to show that face painting isn’t just a kids’ event when she made a donation to Rebecca Langtree, a face painter who came down from Cairns to raise $61.45 for the appeal.

There were some really nice stories that came from the event. Thirteenyear-old Zélie Gillinder from Cardwell, the sole owner of a business called Kids Kandles (after buying out her 15-year-old

brother, Geordie) raised $257 on the day. Pure Shores Hair Studio donated all their takings from Saturday to the appeal, and that came to $1000.

Local artists donated their pieces for a silent auction that raised nearly $1000.

The crab race hosted by Coral Coast Seafoods raised another $245. The Lions Club had a sausage sizzle with food donated

by Cardwell Butchery, which raised over $400.

The ladies from Aussie Asian also helped keep people fed during the day.

Then there was the music throughout supplied by Bluewings Band and Cameron Cusack. Of course, it wouldn’t be an event in the area without Lara the Clown, who kept everyone entertained with her pet reptile, which you had to look really closely at to see that it wasn’t real.

Everything was donated 100% and all funds will be donated 100% to the Bendigo Bank Bushfire Appeal, part of a massive Australia-wide initiative to help our neighbours down south who desper-

ately need support, as well as to know that all over Australia, we are pulling for them. Reports are out that donations are close to overtaking the half billion dollar mark around the country, and many other countries are also coming to the party.

Coming up on Australia Day, our own Council will be doing its part to raise money for the Bushfire Appeal during the official Australia Day ceremony at the Tully Multipurpose Centre, Tully State High School. Mayor

John Kremastos, recognizing that Australians helped us when we needed it after two cyclones ravaged the Cassowary Coast, said “At the time of those two natural disasters Australians stepped up to help the Cassowary Coast community. This is a way for the community of the Cassowary Coast to reciprocate that great spirit of generosity and let our mates down south know – ‘we are with you, we are with you right now, and we are with you for the long road ahead’.”

Community Digs Deep for Salvation Army National Bushfire Disaster Appeal with cash grants, food and water, personal care items, sleeping items etc.

The Salvation Army has a strong physical presence in many of the affected regions and Appeal funds allows staff to go into other communities and stay there as the recovery begins and unfolds.

In the coming days and weeks, case workers, counsellors and chaplains will help people navigate the personal challenges ahead of them - from emotional support to financial counselling and insurance claim processes.

The National Bushfire Disaster Appeal is ongoing and 100% raised goes to those in need.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PORT PRIORITY

LETTER TO EDITOR – AUSTRALIA DAY

The Harbour that is not a Harbour.

Despite recent funding of 1.5 million dollars for the dredging of One Mile Creek, dredging still has not commenced. This vital piece of infrastructure needs to be prioritised as it is crucial to tourism in the Cassowary Coast. People had faith initially, investing in houses and businesses in support of the project.

Both the State Government and Federal Government supported the project from the beginning, and assistance from both levels of government should be contributing to the reinvigoration of One Mile Creek. In an election year, there is an opportunity to engage with all stakeholders including our emergency services and support services such as the Coast Guard.

As Mayor of the Cassowary Coast, I will be seeking to engage with all interested parties to accelerate the commencement and completion of this important asset.

I LOVE Australia and I love being Australian. We have much to be proud of and, importantly, much to look forward to.

We are world leaders in so many fields including innovation, agriculture, mining, infrastructure, technology and standard of living.

We are a big country with a big heart, and our future is bright.

We are one of the most successful sporting countries on the planet, we have free healthcare for all, we have a stable democracy and relatively low rates of serious crime. We have unique and beautiful natural surroundings and plenty of space.

We have done this thanks to working hard, looking after each other, courage and sacrifice.

When I imagine the Australia our children will inherit, I am filled with great optimism.

Whether it be on the land, in the regions or in the big cities, this country still offers great opportunity, and will continue to do so with a renewed focus on agriculture, innovation and energy, as well as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects in schools.

The latest research shows that demand for Australian food and

resources will continue to grow strongly. The regions will need more people to continue to develop these opportunities, to grow our families and manage our land.

We’ll also need mining engineers, environmental consultants, managers, and logistics experts – all skilled and well-paid jobs.

Coming from – and indeed going to – regional Australia is an advantage, and I look forward to helping make our regions even more liveable and able to provide the stable, high-paying jobs we need to keep our kids in their hometowns and to attract young families.

Australia remains “Lucky”, and Australia Day is a time to be proudly patriotic, and to celebrate what we love about this country.

Thank a Defence Force member. Cook up the world’s best food grown by our farmers. Invite the neighbours around for a beer and a game of cricket.

I wish you all a happy Australia Day and a successful year in 2020.

Senator Susan McDonald Townsville

COUNCIL FORFEITS $557,000 TO CREATE MORE BUILDING BLOCKS

CCRC Correspondent

DOMINIC MOBBS THE first Council meeting of the year was short, sweet, and all over by morning tea.

Despite Cr. Nolan’s quite forthright comments in the media about his reasons for standing for mayor, there was surprisingly little tension in the chamber.

The first report of note was the ‘Community First Project Close-Out Briefing Note’, which is all about the information technology behind Council’s ‘Customer Request Monitoring’ systems.

Putting aside that your correspondent found this report almost incomprehensible, the good news is that the project involving the “re-engineering the 29 processes that manage 75% of approximately 10,000 annual Customer Requests” came in $120,000 (25%) under budget and ahead of time. How a project can be completed when the end-users do not appear to be comfortable with the new processes seemed puzzling however. Two councillors expressed having continuing difficulties with the system while two others

thought the new system was superb.

The ‘Libraries and Customer Service Report’ for the past 6 months was tabled and presented by the senior librarian. There is little doubt that this department is achieving a lot although eight of its current 11 projects appear to be up to six months behind target.

The other major item on the agenda was the granting of a 100% reduction in the infrastructure charges relating to a Development Permit for a reconfiguring of one lot into twenty lots on land situated at 62-84 Rockingham Drive, Wongaling Beach.

An infrastructure charges notice for the development was issued on 7January 2020 for $557,451.45.

However under the Council’s policy ‘Activate Cassowary Coast Development Incentive Scheme - Reduction in Infrastructure Charges’ adopted by Council at its last meeting in December 2019, the full amount was waived.

The policy aims to stimulate development that is of overall benefit to the region and the economy. However, the

policy does not actually require any real economic activity i.e. building and construction.

The only obligation on the developer is within three years to register a survey plan for the 20 blocks. This would mean the developer would need to commence paying rates on 20 small blocks rather than the current single large block. It will take many years of these higher rates however to reach the $557,000 the developer has saved.

While Cr Kimberley waxed lyrical about this resolution, which was unanimously adopted, you can only wonder why Council would forfeit this considerable sum when anecdotal evidence is that there are already available many residential building blocks in the Mission Beach area, indeed a surplus. The report, which did not even include a map, provided no basic background supply/demand analysis to evidence the need for this incentive in Mission Beach. E.g., How many blocks already exist?

What is the historical annual take-up of blocks for building?

The report claimed that this development would “further develop tourism industry, destination and events.” How this subdivision would have any impact whatsoever on the tourism industry is curious but not

Page 6 Cassowary Coast Independent News, Thursday, January 23, 2020

a single councillor questioned this.

And of course this Council’s preference for decision making behind closed doors continues.

One can understand that discussions about outstanding rates and debtors needs to be confidential. The ejection of the public and media while the tender for the ‘Cassowary Coast Wayfinding and Signage Strategy Design and Construction of Cassowary Coast Regional and Major Town Entry Signage’ was discussed, is just another example of the reversal of public transparency by this Council compared with the previous.

To be fair it was good to see the Mayor instruct staff that the actual principals behind company names should be disclosed in reports to Council.

You know that an election is in the offing when media statements are being released like there is no tomorrow and old news is recycled. The acquisition of land in (north) Mission Beach by Council for future parking demand is commendable. Last week Council put out a media release in respect to this even though a land title review according to Pricefinder Property Analytics shows that the property had a sale date of 24 July 2019, nearly six months ago.

Mayor John Kremastos, Cr Glenn Raleigh and Member for Hinchinbrook Nick Dametto

One Mile Creek – One Step Closer

THE dredging of One Mile Creek in Port Hinchinbrook, Cardwell is today one step closer, with the liquidator Offermans agreeing for Cassowary Coast Regional Council to use their existing dredging permits.

While there are still significant steps needed to fulfil the Federal Government requirements, this is a positive development for the project.

Mayor John Kremastos said, “As part of my solution-based philosophy, I called the liquidator for a meeting last week. The liquidator has agreed for Council to use their existing dredging permits. We sincerely thank the liquidator, and this means we are one step closer to fulfilling the requirements of the Federal Government.

“This is a project of strategic importance for the region and for this reason, as Mayor, I have personally spearheaded the negotiations and advocacy to make this project a reality - it is important for Cardwell and it is important regionally.

“The Federal Government has set out the process and we still have a way to go, but today we are one step closer.

“After the commitment by a candidate in the 2019 Federal Government election to provide $1.5M to dredge One Mile Creek in Cardwell, Council, the community and local Members of Parliament have fought tirelessly to ensure the promise was a reality.

“This is good news story and gives some surety to the community that Council is working not just with the liquidator, but the State and Federal local Members of Parliament and the State and Federal Government to progress this project.

“I sincerely thank the fighters in the Cardwell community who have championed this project and advocated strongly the whole way through to get to this stage. This milestone is a battle won by those fighters.”

The dredging of One Mile Creek is an essential

project to allow the Coastguard all-tide access and is an economic activator for the Cardwell community.

The LNP candidate in the 2019 Federal election made a promise to provide $1.5M. Kremastos, with the strong backing of the local community and local Members of Parliament, Bob Katter, Federal Member for Kennedy and Nick Dametto, State Member for Hinchinbrook, lobbied strongly for the promise to be kept. In late 2019 the Federal Government announced it would provide preliminary approval for the $1.5M funding, with final approval subject to a number of studies and business plans being provided.

The provision of permits by the liquidator, who ultimately is in control of the Port Hinchinbrook area where One Mile Creek is located, is a positive step forward in a detailed process dictated by the Federal Government in order for the final approval of the $1.5M to be granted.

COMMUNITY NEWS

The Number One Election Issue is Spelled J-O-B-S SEAN DENT A few months back when the Council brought out a budget, we asked what their plans were to bring more jobs to the region.

The answers we got were uninspiring, along the lines of, “Council can’t create jobs, it can only put in place the conditions for others to create jobs.”

In fairness, it’s not easy to do even that much and Council has implemented apprentice, trainee, and mentoring programs during its current term. It has also been taking measures to promote tourism, and projects like the Tully Grandstand will

create jobs (although how many are local jobs is an important question to pose to candidates.)

Mayoral candidates, Mark Nolan and Bryce McDonald both said a major issue is that we are leaking our brightest young minds. They acknowledged that too many of our young people leave the area to go to school in other areas and never return. Nolan even went so far as to suggest that their parents follow them. In conjunction with our ageing population growing, this creates an imbalance. Even worse, our youth leaving the area creates a trend that may never reverse itself.

One avenue Nolan would like to pursue if elected Mayor is to bring a campus for James Cooke University (JCU) to this area, which would create new jobs and also allow our kids to study in the region. “JCU has been knocking on our door, so it’s just a matter of political will,“ he said, suggesting that the Katter Party might be in a position to push the matter in the next election.

Nolan would also like to keep our ageing population in the area by having more medical specialists come to the region to host regular clinics, as sometimes happens currently. He’d just like to

expand that program so our elderly do not have to move to Cairns to get specialist medical attention.

He sees these as examples of growth opportunities.

McDonald is likewise looking at ways to reverse the trend of people leaving the region for jobs elsewhere. “When parents leave and take their kids, we need less teachers and less medical personnel. It’s trend that we have to find a way to stop.”

Candidates seeking election to local council have their own ideas for creating jobs in their specific divisions. Division 1 candidate, Gabi

Plumm, plans to focus on tourism. She told us that she is speaking to Mayfair about attracting cruise ships to Cardwell to bolster the once-popular seaside town. Her opponent in that division, Glenn Raleigh, spoke with our Council correspondent Dominic Mobbs (see Profile of Division 1 Candidates in this week’s edition of CCIN) and went beyond just attracting tourists for a couple of weeks, expressing his desire to encourage them to make the area their future home.

In Division 4, candidate Bonny Bauer, would like to look into reducing rates for our farmers so

they can afford to hire more field workers. She would also like to look at ways to help local businesses win more of the contracts awarded for work in the area, many of which go outside the region to contractors who don’t even employ local workers.

Additionally, she’d like Council to recruit locally rather than look outside the area for job opportunities within Council itself.

Creating jobs in the area is no doubt a challenge for any local government, but it should be seen as vital to not just rejuvenating our economy, but also giving optimism to our kids who

are in school. We invest in many social programs that do not provide a financial return, and no social program is more important than employment opportunities for our youth.

When you have a chance to meet with candidates over the next 10 weeks, put them on the spot and at least get them thinking about it. Demand that they tell you their ideas and listen to yours. It’s your periodic chance as a voter to say to the candidates, “We know it’s not easy, so we’ll give you four years to get it right. Go!”

Deadly East Feluga Intersection Tully Orchid Club Meeting

Funding Approved

THE Tully Orchid Club will be holding their first meeting of the year this Saturday February 1, the meeting will commence at 12.30pm at St Clare’s blue room in Mars Street, Tully. The Local community and visitors are invited to attend. It is an afternoon of information and friendship.

There will be presentations on “Understanding your Orchids” and “The Importance of Fresh Air to Orchids”, something for everyone to learn from.

A Tully Orchid Club member will also be acknowledge for his Australian Award for his Dendrobium thyrsiflorum ‘Onyx’ orchid.

Entry fee is $3 and an afternoon tea is provided.

There will be a continuous raffle and a display of flowering orchids, along with some items to assist orchid growing for sale.

It is an informal afternoon, and everyone is made to feel welcome, so take the time to come along.

Tully and District Orchid Society Member Receives National Award April 2019, Knuth stood with locals protesting inaction on East Feluga Intersection SEAN DENT THE long wait for the upgrade to the deadly East Feluga Intersection is almost over. On Tuesday, Member for Hill, Shane Knuth received a letter from Minister for Transport and Main Roads, Mark Bailey, stating that the commitment he’d made to Knuth to investigate safety at the section along the Bruce Highway was complete.

“TMR submitted a project proposal to the Australian Government for consideration. The proposal was accepted in November 2019 and a project to upgrade the intersection has been fast tracked,” said Bailey. Planning and design is expected to be completed later this year, with construction to commence in mid-2021.

This is great news for a community that was devastated just before Christmas 2018 when a car carrying 18-year-old Maddi

Spyve and her mother Tammy collided with a semi-trailer while crossing that intersection. Maddi was killed in the crash and her mother suffered severe injuries, but eventually recovered.

Last September, Knuth, who had been calling for action for months, took to State Parliament to push the matter. At the time, Knuth believed the Federal Government was stalling on a serious safety risk.

Clearly incensed, he told CCIN: “Since the submission has been put in as a safety priority, we have not heard anything. I hope the department can give feedback on where the State and Federal Government is up to in regards to funding for the intersection.

The reality is this is long overdue and should have been fixed years ago. The community is understandably getting frustrated.

Residents in the region are fearful for public safety, especially as parents turn

at the intersection to take their kids to school – it’s just not good enough.”

The project will be funded by Federal and State funds, with the Australian Government providing $4.8 million and the Queensland Government contributing $1.2 million. The scope of work has not been finalised, but the final design is expected to include changes to the intersection configuration, improved sight distance on the approaches to the intersection, and the installation of additional warning signs.

Senator for Queensland, Susan McDonald said that the project works will also involve widening the narrow section of road to seven metres to improve safety as well as replacing stormwater pipes and headwalls, including laying 1.8 metres of pipe and associated drainage works.

Bailey said with traffic volumes in the local area increasing, it was crucial

for residents living and working in the area to have safe access to the highway.

“Queensland last year recorded its lowest-ever number of road fatalities, but Far North Queensland continued to be overrepresented.”

It is part of the jointly funded $1.01 billion Bruce Highway Safety Package.

Yesterday, Shane Knuth said: “This is extremely welcome news. It has been a long, drawn out process dating back to 2014 when a petition was initiated as a result of a number of near misses, accident and sadly, deaths. A lot of hard work and lobbying went into getting us to this point. I’d like to thank the Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey for responding to our call for action. We’re pleased to have it all in writing. The funds are there, and we’ll be starting planning soon.”

Schoisengeier's prized dendrobium orchid which boasted 1,428 flowers

Anton Schoisengeier with his Australian Orchid Council Cultural Commendation Award

MARIA GIRGENTI TULLY and District Orchid Society member Anton (Tony) Schoisengeier has received national recognition for his prized dendrobium orchid.

Schoisengeier received a Cultural Commendation Award from The Australian Orchid Council for his species dendrobium thyrsiflorum

'Onyx', which had 47 inflorescences and carried 1,428 flowers last year.

Thyrsiflorum is a native orchid to the Himalayas as well as mountains of Northern Indochina, Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam. It is normally considered to be a cool, but humid growing epiphytic orchid generally found at elevations of 1,200 meters to 2,000

meters. So, bearing this in mind, full credit must be given to the grower for producing such a fine specimen here in the Wet Tropics region.

Tully and District Orchid Society which was founded in 1973 meet in Tully on the first Saturday of each month and will hold their first meeting for the year next month.

Greek Orthodox community celebrates Epiphany MARIA GIRGENTI MEMBERS of the Greek Orthodox Parish-Community of Our Lady in Innisfail recently gathered to celebrate the annual Feast of Epiphany, one of the most sacred events on their calendar with a special Divine Liturgy church service by Father Dimitri Tsakas in Innisfail followed by the traditional Blessing of the Waters and Throwing of the Cross ceremony at Kurrimine Beach.

A small group of youngsters raced into the ocean and soon Jacob Tickle emerged from the waters with the holy cross.

The first person to retrieve the cross is considered to be blessed with good luck for the coming year.

While Jacob was given a special blessing by Father Tsakas on the beach, he kissed the holy cross and was then presented with a gold cross on a chain before all members of the congregation were then invited to receive a blessing, kiss the cross and icon.

The Feast of Theophany on January 6, which marks the end of Greek Orthodox Church Christmas season, means 'appearance of God' and commemorates the baptism of Christ by John The Baptist in the River Jordan.

As Christ entered the waters of the Jordan, the voice of God was heard proclaiming Jesus as his Son and the Holy Spirit descended on Him in the form of a dove.

Each year, celebrations

include the Blessing of the Waters and an ancient tradition of young people diving into the ocean to retrieve a small ceremonial cross cast as part of the rituals.

The Greek Orthodox Community of Innisfail which was founded in 1935 has celebrated the Epiphany for 85 years and, like many Greek Orthodox Christians worldwide consider this day to be the manifestation of the one God as Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit, hence a theophany.

At the Blessing of Waters ceremony, the congregation is then blessed and water-soaked basil leaves are used to sprinkle holy water over them prior to everyone moving down to the beach for the Throwing of the Cross by the priest from the shoreline.

Father Tsakas, who travelled from Brisbane to officiate the Epiphany service in Innisfail, is a regular priest to the town having served the Innisfail Greek church community on a monthly basis for close to 20 years.

Tsakas explained the Feast is a celebration of all that is good in human life and also a reminder of the sanctity of creation, which God calls all people to nurture and protect.

The next significant event for the Greek Orthodox parish-community will be the 85th anniversary of The Dormition of Our Lady Greek Church and community in February followed by the all-important Easter celebrations in April/May.

The cross is tossed in the ocean by Father Tsakas as the youngsters sprint into the water

PROFILE OF DIVISION 1 CANDIDATES DOMINIC MOBBS

CCIN recently sat down with the two first announced candidates for Division 1, Cr. Glenn Raleigh, who is standing again, and first time candidate Gabi Plumm. Division 1 includes Cardwell, Kennedy, Lower Tully, Tully and Hull Heads.

Both are standing as independents. This is a summary of these discussions.

Raleigh believes “there are immediate, intermediate and longer term issues impeding the prosperity of the Cassowary Coast and Division 1.” He would like to see visitors to our region for festivals and events encouraged to make the area their future home by revealing “opportunities that are waiting in local industry such as tourism, aged care, aquaculture, agriculture and engineering.”

Given so many are moving to larger urban areas he wants Council to

lead by example by continuing to offer “employment opportunities, apprenticeships and traineeships to show the young people that there is a future here for them.”

In Division 1 in particular, Raleigh wants to continue repurposing assets like the Cardwell Shed, improve parking along the Bruce Highway in Cardwell, finalise the Balliol St works, and get started on the Bowen St upgrade, once issues relating to this parcel of State land are resolved.

Raleigh is also concerned about the aging population indicating that he will continue his efforts to maintain allied health, including disability, services in the area.

Our long-term sustainability depends on diversifying our population and economy Raleigh argues.

He indicated that providing “affordable services to the ratepayer will cre-

ate greater prosperity for those that choose Division 1 to call home” and that he will “always support strategies that improve our liveability and affordability and embrace the ideas that emerge from the community that can help guide these strategies.”

In respect to his successes as a councillor Raleigh considers his number one achievement would have to be delivering on his previous election campaign slogan of ‘Achieving Outcomes’ by “breaking down community barriers and achieving greater cohesion and engagement between community groups.”

He also considers he obtained successful budget requests for increased services for the Division, not just in Cardwell but also Tully and Hull Heads. On top of this, he was continuously involved with making Council aware of the poor sewerage situation at

Port Hinchinbrook.

His biggest disappointment was not having the Cardwell Pool upgrade completed.

In respect to the complicated situation at Port Hinchinbrook, he considers that the State Government is responsible for outcomes regarding this and that the “State needs a strategy to move forward and not put the burden on the Cassowary Coast ratepayers.”

Plumm freely admits that though she has been living and working in FNQ for nearly 20 years, including as a tour guide for Tropical Horizons and Wooroonooran Safaris, she has only been a fulltime resident in Division 1 since August 2019.

She believes she is a “blank canvas”, enabling her to look at issues with a fresh pair of eyes consistent with her “New, Better, Different” campaign slogan. Indeed Plumm pleads

RURAL REPORT

WELCOME to the first column of 2020!

Since coming home from a two-week break, it was noticeable just how much both the cane and the fallow crops have started to grow since late December.

Since the last week before Christmas, at least 100mm has fallen across the district and this has allowed the cane to start growing and for more fallow crops to be planted in late December.

A drive around the district now reveals paddocks with the distinc-

tive broad-leafed legume fallow crops, about 60cm high, interspersed among cane paddocks.

Last year the fallow crop planting started around late October but ceased during the very dry November. Once the rains started again in December, fallow legume break crop planting started again.

We liken a good fallow crop to a reset button for the soil.

The fallow crop is completely different to cane, and short-lived so it provides a “break” from

the cane crop which has typically lasted five or six years. The microbiology in the soil that goes with each plant type is different, and having a fallow crop in the ground provides organic material and enables different microflora and organisms to thrive, which helps revitalize the soil for another cane crop. It also means the soil is always covered during the wet season, so minimizing any chance of soil erosion. Growing the one crop for a period of time, for example 5-6 years like we do with

Sugar cane is known as “Monoculture” and such monocultures are broken by break crops.

In some cases, other fallow break crops are also grown, including sunflowers, millet and another legume known as Dolichos.

Dolichos is often mixed with Cowpeas to form a very good fallow crop which totally covers the ground.

Another inno-

vation that has been tried for several years now in Tully is mixing these and other fallow crop species together, and this is known as a mixed species fallow.

On another note, plans are in place now for two unique workshops to

take place in Tully within the next three weeks: February 12 and 13 to be exact. On the afternoon of the the 12th we plan to run a mill mud workshop and on the morning of the 13th a Phosphorus workshop.

These events will include guest speakers and will

be open to all growers, so keep these dates free.

These workshop are the result of funding received through the Wet Tropics Sugar Industry partnership, and as more details are finalised over the next week, more details will be provided.

How Accurate Are Weath- Johnstone Region Landcare er Forecasts inThis Region? Runs First Ever Propagating

SEAN DENT WHILE researching medium-term weather forecasts, the Bureau of Meteorology told us that they only forecast up to seven days in advance. The Weather Network predicts 14 days, but this appears very speculative. A lot of us in this region are concerned about the lack of rain and what that is doing to our water supplies. Frankly, we’ve been spoiled over the decades and rarely had to worry about these things, so a lot of us are looking to these forecasts for good news.

The Bureau of Meteorology is steadfast in only predicting seven days in advance, and there’s good historical reasons for doing so. According to SciJinks, “A seven-day forecast can accurately predict the weather about 80 per-

cent of the time and a five-day forecast can accurately predict the weather approximately 90 percent of the time. However, a 10day—or longer—forecast is only right about half the time.” The further out you go after that, the more dubious the results.

Weather apps on your phone are likely to be unreliable. Recently I noticed my phone was telling me it was a 11C in Tully, but my body was telling me it was closer to 20C. I dug a bit deeper and saw that the app I was using referred to data from Openweather, which a lot of phone apps refer to because it’s the cheapest source for weather info.

A regular bulb thermometer with red fluid, which uses alcohol-based liquid such as ethanol, told me that Openweather was off

by 5-7 degrees Celsius, always suggesting it was colder than the actual temperature.

I contacted Openweather and talked to scientists there. It was a long back and forth before they eventually told me there are no weather stations near me and the current temperature they provide is essentially a guess: “We have only modelling data for your location. Since this is not real measured data, it can be not so accurate.”

That sent me scurrying around for a different service that I could rely on more.

While looking for rainfall forecasts, for example, I found myself on The Weather Network, which is a Canadian company, but they do provide weather data for this region. My eyes lit up when I saw the

tab that said 14-days and another one with a monthly forecast.

The 14-day prediction did feed into my inner optimist, forecasting some promising rainy days over the next two weeks, perhaps as much as 315mm if you look to their heaviest predictions, or 245mm if you look at their lightest. (Note: Their forecasts, even over the next seven days, vary wildly from the Bureau of Meteorology, which predicts about 70% less rain over the next week.)

However, when you read the fine print, a lot of The Weather Network’s data is based on historical weather patterns over the past years, and even the Bureau of Meteorology is now telling us that current weather patterns are looking very much more extreme than we’re used to seeing in the past. Basically, using historical data in the current climate is unreliable.

Old timers in the region tell me we’ve had years like this before and not to put too much stock in what we’re experiencing.

“There’s nothing we can do, just enjoy the nice weather while we have it,” is the prevailing sentiment.

The program is individually tailored to suit each candidate based on their skills and needs with the activities providing interaction with other members of JWAL community and wider community.

It will include six intakes run over sixweek blocks (total of 48 weeks) from October 2019 to June 2020 with participants required to attend two days per week from 9.00am - 2.30pm on either Tuesday and Wednesday or Thursday and Friday.

Each block requires 10 or more participants and is open to anyone in the Cassowary Coast re-

gion with free transport available within Innisfail town area to and from JWAL site.

All participants who complete the program will receive a certificate of completion and be rewarded with a three-day Leadership Development camp based in Cairns and Mareeba hosted by Brian Ross Cockatours at no cost.

One of the first participants to complete the program said he would thoroughly recommend it to other young people.

"I've enjoyed working outdoors with others, have gained an insight into life in the workforce, and it's really helped build my skills and confidence."

Falco-Mammone said she is excited at the future employment prospects of the first successful candidate to complete the program as he has been motivated and shown lots of initiative.

Eligible participants are encouraged to contact Fay – Johnstone Landcare's Ready for Work program manager and trainer on 0487 890 684 or via email: johnstonelandcare@ gmail.com to arrange an interview.

C RI CK ET WIT H

Shane Muriata SO the Christmas lunch has been won and done along with the many beverages that usually accompany the festive season feast, and the fat man in the red suit didn’t forget me by dropping off some towels and shoes, the 2019 silly Summer did not disappoint when it came to sports, cricket to be exact. It was like every man’s dream come true, well close enough if you didn’t add Madonna or Elle McPherson serving bacon burgers to it. No I am not talking about my dream date, but someone deciding to put cricket on TV every night for two months in the form of the Big Bash. Throw in a couple of Test Matches, One Dayers when the Aussies took on world number one India, then who could

blame me for putting on weight during the hot season while I sat my dairy down to watch a smorgasbord of bat and ball. Let’s start with the Test matches played over December and January. First we had the mighty Pakistanis here playing for the first time in a while. They may not be as competitive as they use to be, but it was still worth the six pizzas and two cartons of pies that were consumed at my place. Then we had a historic Boxing Day Test match at the MCG, where over 90,000 spectators turned up for Day one. The occasion may have been too much for the Kiwis with our Aussies running over them inside four days. When the 3rd and final Test match of the summer rolled around in Sydney, the series was

already won and run, with our baggy green boys putting the Black Caps to the sword once again. It was refreshing to see an Australian sporting team beat a NZ outfit, which does not come along much often if never for our Rugby Union team the Wallabies, but we won against our Trans-Tasman cousin, so we will take the win. The BBL season continues for at least another week, with semi Finals just around the corner. The Heat looks colder than an iceberg the other night, so my loyalty to our only Queensland team will be tested once again which I am sure they will let me down just like the other Sunshine State team the Nth Qld Cowboys. If anyone’s guna win it, I can’t go past the Melbourne Stars.

In the world of sports, we simply cannot go past the Australian Open with our girl and former squeeze Ash Barty, who will be carrying the nation’s flag as the number one women’s player in the

world at Melbourne Park.

If she can somehow overcome the defending champion Yoko Ono, then the Barty Party will take off and make tennis cool once again since Pat Rafter was the man. Meanwhile, in the Men’s race to the top, you can’t go past the Joker Novak being crowned the champ in 2020, but you would be a brave person to bet against legendary players like Raffa and the Fed Express to lift the winning trophy. My other queen of the court Serena Williams will be aiming to break renowned Aussie icon Margaret Courts record 24 singles titles. If she can get me to buy her dinner and watch Star Wars, Episode 9, The Rise of Skywalker with her last week in Sydney, then I’m sure she can catch the record and make it her own.

Onto other news, the Kansas City Chiefs will play the San Francisco 49ers in SuperBowl LIV for the right to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

In reality, no one really

cares about what happens in the game, because the whole theatre of it has more Oscar winning performance than Leonardo DiCaprio, and he only has one gold statue. The game itself is an over the top ego trip played by men in more body armour than Achilles wore in the battle of Troy. The commercials are played for 10 seconds, but you’re expected to pay 20 million dollars for screen time, and the only highlight of the whole damn thing is when they pour red cordial over the winning coach. But, as with anything sport, I will be sitting down to watch it purely for the spectacle, cause if Americans know anything, they can sure put on a show.

Just a quick shout out to all the teachers, staff and parents of the Ulysses Cluster heading back into battle in the coming week when school resumes next Tuesday.

2020 even sounds big, so just imagine the year that will take place for many

students across our great region. All the best to Cardwell by the sea, the hidden in the valley school of Kennedy, the legendary Archy led Murray Upper School that make up our super southern cousins.

Massive shout out to the great Lani McSquids and my favourite Mrs Franny Piper Lower Tully State School, the ever table topping St Clares and of course, the Steak Burgers, the talented if not champions Tully State School. To our brothers of the north, we hope Feluga State School have another great year like every other year before, and El Arish State School make it even bigger this time around along with the Gordon Robertson inspired Mission Beach State School who always seem to turn out some talented students.

And to our two new additions, welcome to Silkwood State School and St Johns for letting us be your cluster brother. Good luck all.

Innisfail Golf

WEEK 1 Thanks to our 3G Network for our course looking in great condition, if you have some spare time to help out with mowing the roughs & fairways, give Des a buzz to help out.

Wednesday Allsporters Comp (Tee off times 12:00pm & 3:00pm) Unfortunately, rain halted play for the Allsporters.

Friday Comp (Tee off times 12:00pm & 3:00pm) The weather helped out to get the Friday crew out on the course, & John Lombardi got the putter going to take home the bacon.

1st - J Lombardi 20pts and 2nd - G Johnston 19pts NTP - J Cockle Saturday - Vandeleur & Todd Stableford The rain was a concern for both the morning & afternoon groups. Like they say “If you don’t play golf in the rain in Innisfail, you won’t play at all!”

Andrew Rose shot back into form with a solid par round & 36 points. Shane Trembath looked like a certainty but stumbled on the last hole for 37 points. Jason Edmonson held his nerve to put a great round together for 38 points.

Jake Cockle had a string of pars over the closing holes to post the club house lead at 39 points after the morning’s play.

The afternoon groups had the best of the conditions.

Rob Mills played to his handicap for 36 points & Kev Walsh posted the best score of 38 points to grab 2nd place on a countback.

1st – J Cockle 39pts and 2nd - K Walsh 38pts c/b NTP’s: 1st & 10th - J Cockle, 2nd & 11th – K Walsh, 3rd & 12th – A Rose, 4th & 13th – S Trembath, 5th & 14th - J Sloane, 6th & 15th – J Cockle, 7th & 16th – P Tattam, 8th & 17th - E Nest and 9th & 18th – S Trembath WEEK 2 With all the heat around at the moment, it’s almost crazy to walk the course in these conditions. We lost a few trees from the storm on Friday night, but the club house & machinery shed was all intact.

The course is looking well after the storm and a special thanks to Stephen Todd and the crew who helped out on Saturday & Sunday to make the course safe to play!

Wednesday Allsporters Comp (Tee off times 12:00pm & 3:00pm) One of our new members Rauno Lehtsalu got his first win in the Allsporters, just in front of Ian “Doonga” Rule. Well done Rauno, no doubt we’ll see you in the winner’s circle more often.

1st - R Lehtsalu 22pts and 2nd - I Rule 21pts NTP - N Jacobsen Friday Comp (Tee off times 12:00pm & 3:00pm) The hot weather was a major factor on the course for the Friday crew. Almost “Feels Like” 45’ on the course, but the players battled on. Well done to Ned picking up 1st place & Addi Butorac for narrowly missing out by one point.

1st - N Jacobsen and 2nd - A Butorac NTP - N Jacobsen Saturday - Innisfail Optical Stableford The storm on Friday night certainly shook up the course for the Saturday Comp. Course inspections that night from Andrew Rose, & the projected storms on Saturday morning could have nearly halted play due to safety reasons.

But in true golfers’ addiction, the game must go on, & 13 crazies headed out to battle the extra obstacles on the course.

Paul Tattam was looking for another win, but let a few shots go over the final holes to post a very respectable 37 points and hold the clubhouse lead for the morning groups.

It seemed that Rauno has got a taste for winning, with a score of 23 points on the front 9 & tied with our apprentice greenkeeper, Geoff Johnston. It would all come down to the back 9.

Well done Rauno Lehtsalu for holding your nerve for your first Saturday comp win!!

1st – R Letsalu 40pts and 2nd - G Johnston 39pts NTP’s: 1st & 10th - P Tattam, 2nd & 11th – G Johnston, 3rd & 12th – R Lehtsalu / A Butorac, 4th & 13th – L Peters, 5th & 14th - J Cockle, 6th & 15th – P Tattam, 7th & 16th – L Peters, 8th & 17th - E Nest and 9th & 18th – G Johnston.

THE calm morning conditions have allowed boats to travel out to the main reefs. Surprisingly most have commented that once on the water there has been enough breeze to make conditions tolerable. Those that have been fishing the reef shallows and fringing drop-offs have reported reasonable fishing with catches mostly reflecting the hot conditions. Surprisingly the spearos have been doing a lot better with good numbers of Coral Trout, Blue Tuskers and Cray Fish.

There has even been a few Red Emperor and Nannygai speared along the reef fringes.

The deep-water shale patches and wonky holes continue to fish well with

mostly good catches of Nannygai, Tea leaf Trevally, Job Fish and the occasional Red Emperor.

For some reason several of the more popular shale patches in the shipping channel have not been fishing well.

The fishing around the islands have improved a little with some nice Fingermark being caught of an evening or around tide changes during the day.

There has also been some nice Island Trout and Grass Sweet Lip caught especially of an early morning. Some Fingermark, Golden Trevally and Queen fish have been caught by jigging or highspeed spinning.

I found the fishing in the estuaries very quiet during the week. I cannot really explain it except that it was very hot in the creeks and water tempera-

tures were well up. It was a bit of a letdown after the great day lure-fishing we enjoyed the previous week. Hopefully we will get some decent rain before the Barra opening which is now only a little over a week away. On a more positive note there have been a few crabs around. Surprisingly, I found there were more bucks than jennies in my pots making my take home average a lot better than normal.

Just a word of caution when travelling in the local creeks (especially the Hull): In a boat you are supposed to pass on the opposite side to what you do on the roads. I was recently contacted by a customer that had a near miss, the oncoming boat was travelling on his left-hand side of the river on a blind corner. I travel in the middle of the river and attempt to pass on my left side,

however in most cases the oncoming boat insists on passing on their right. The only answer is to travel in the middle of the river and keep vigilant.

I have heard no news of catches from the Hinchinbrook area, I will make certain that I get an up-todate report next week.

The freshwater reaches of the Tully river continue to fish well with water heights being as low as I can remember despite the recent rain.

Reports coming from Tinaroo Dam have been good, with quite a few smaller Barra in the 50 to 80cm mark being caught by fishing the dam shallows. A few larger fish 90cm to well over the metre mark have also been turning up mostly during the hour before first light in the morning and of the evening. Plenty of Red Claw are being potted, try around the 4-metre mark.

At the time of writing, very early in the week the weather forecast is for light winds for this coming long weekend. Either side of the morning high tide will suit chasing Grunter in the creeks or in the Hinchinbrook area. The slack water during the change will also suit those wishing to jig or bottom-fish the deep holes around the islands.

Those wishing to fish for a Mangrove Jack should try either side of the late afternoon low tide.

Hopefully the storms will keep away and allow boats to travel out to fish the main reefs.

Finally, I would like to warn readers that there have been good numbers of Box Jellies sighted along the beach fronts.

Sarah the Hawksbill Sea Turtle Released at Wongaling Beach

Photo Credit: Brooke McGuinness TARA WEBSTER AFTER five months of loving care, Sarah, a rescued Hawksbill sea turtle, was released at Wongaling Beach by Stephen and Sharon McGuinness from Mission Beach Wildcare and Jenny Gilbert and Cassie Smith from the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, to the delight of 100 excited onlookers.

Back in August 2019, she was literally “up a creek without a paddle” when she was found floating in the Hull River by Peter O’Sullivan visiting from the Tablelands.

She was suffering from “Floaters Syndrome”, which occurs when a turtle’s gastrointestinal tract is blocked with marine debris (most often plastic) and the resulting gas build-up prevents them from diving and accessing food or even digesting food properly, causing starvation and vulnerability to predators and boat traffic.

“It was a king tide and pretty awful weather on the day she was found, she also had a bruised shoulder. She probably got washed up into the Hull River,” said Mrs.

McGuinness.

It is difficult to determine a turtle’s age, but according to Jenny Gilbert, Co-Founder and President of the Cairns Turtle Rehabilitation Centre, Sarah is a “new recruit,” meaning she was back to coastal waters from her ocean voyage of multiple years.

“She’s probably around 10 years old, being a ‘new recruit’ that is found along the coast, but we don’t know exactly where she is from, as they can move around long distances,” she said.

Hawksbill sea turtles live up to 50 years old,

and are found throughout the world in tropical and subtropical waters, including Australia.

They are listed on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red List as Critically Endangered, and it is illegal to import and export products related to the animal or to kill, harass or capture Hawksbill sea turtles.

The fact that so many people came to watch Sarah be released back into the wild, is indicative of the concern many people have about our native wildlife.

“We had even more people than this show up at our previous turtle release last year, and we have a number of people signed up to help out with Wildcare. There is always something to do,” said Mrs. McGuinness.

Every little bit helps, as they care for many different types of animals at their premises and always need a helping hand.

Currently with three tanks, two small and one large, the McGuinnesses have a Green sea turtle named Coral with Floaters Syndrome still in care, but are expecting more to

come.

“We had 590 calls about injured wildlife last year,” said Mrs. McGuinness, “and it increases every year.” As she said this the phone rang to report another injured animal, this time a bird.

With their new 4.2 metre rescue boat, generously funded by local sponsors and a Queensland Government grant from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund, they are now able to get out on the water to rescue more marine wildlife, but still need funds to cover the many ongoing expenses.

“We could use a rainwater tank if anyone has one, as we need another big tank for the larger turtles that come into our care,” said Mrs. McGuinness. “Or even donations that will help set one up would be much appreciated.”
