July Welcome to the beautiful Far South Coast - where else in the world would you want to be?

Winter has arrived, and although the nights are chilly, or even frosty for those inland from the coast, cold nights are usually followed by beautiful sunny days, perfect for outdoor activities or just curling up in a warm spot with a good book.

You won't have too much time for lazing around though - there's too many things happening on the Far South Coast this July.

Students from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music are performing in Wolumla as part of the 10th annual Great Southern Tour.

The Sapphire Coast Music Society is always proud to host this recital, which features students who are often already touring nationally and overseas. Details of the performance can be found on page 9.

If you're visiting the Coast for a few days and the snow is falling, why not

Contents jump on the Snow Express and head up to the mountains for a day of skiing or snowboarding? SoulQuest Travel have fantastic mid-week snow trips during the school holidays with ski hire, lift tickets and NPWS entry fees all included. See pages 2 and 10 for details.

In Cobargo there's the bi-annual Antique and Collectables weekend on July 9th and 10th where experts offer advice and valuations - see page 21.

The Bay Theatre Players are performing their version of a current West End hit - 'The Woman in Black.' Not recommended for the young or fainthearted, this play promises to be a memorable theatre experience. Dates and ticket information are on page 31.

We hope you enjoy your time on the Far South Coast - don't forget to watch out for the wildlife at night.

George Bass and Matthew Flinders were the first Europeans to ‘discover’ Twofold Bay in 1798, but the region had been inhabited by members of the Yuin nation for thousands of years, attracted by the rich food resources offered by the sea and surrounding forests.

Local Aboriginal people had a strong connection with killer whales, and this included the harvesting of small whales and fish that killer whales herded into the shallows.

A permanent shore-based whaling station was first established by the Imlay Brothers in the 1830s, and whaling continued for another century.

2

For a real taste of life in the whaling industry you can also visit Davidson’s Whaling Station, the longest operating shore-based whaling station in Australia, located on Kiah Inlet at Twofold Bay. Historic Boydtown is also worth a visit - make sure you drop in to the beautifully restored Seahorse Inn. You can experience some of Eden's history and see the skeleton of “Old Tom”, Eden’s famous killer whale, at the Eden Killer Whale Museum.

Eden is now famous as a destination for whale-watching, with migrations occurring in late autumn and spring.

In 2011, the Eden Whale Festival is being held over the weekend of 29th 30th October - don't miss it!

Eden Killer Whale Museum celebrates its 80th anniversary On 17 September 1930, while on his daily walk, Allie Greig discovered the body of the killer whale known as Tom. This single event was the impetus behind establishing a museum in Eden a place to commemorate the intriguing natural story of the equal working relationship between the whalers and killer whales of Twofold Bay. Tom’s body was processed across the bay at Davidson Whaling Station on the shores of Kiah Inlet. Local entrepreneur John R Logan drove the vision, and in February the following year sought out a committee to begin the project of establishing a home for the skeleton of Tom.

EDEN

The building was eventually completed in 1938 with Tom being installed early in 1939. In the interim, visitors to Eden were able to see the great orca skeleton in the private offices of Logan which were located close to the main business area of Imlay Street. Unfortunately Logan passed away late 1937, never seeing his dream realised.

The museum building is now an iconic centrepiece overlooking the sapphire waters of Twofold Bay and has recently been recognised as holding collections of local, national and international significance. This year Eden Killer Whale Museum has a full programme of events planned to celebrate its 80th anniversary

Pambula

www.farsouthcoastimag.com.au

The Pambula River floodplain was for thousands of years a source of food and materials for the Thaua people of the Yuin nation.

Europeans first explored the region during George Bass's southern voyage of 1797. Seeking shelter from a gale, Bass travelled up the Pambula River, noting its beauty in his diary. A marker has been erected by the National Parks and Wildlife Service on this historic site.

European settlement began in the 1830s, with the original township built on the southern banks of the Pambula River. Severe flooding in the 1860s meant the town had to be re-located to its present site on higher ground.

Timber, maize, wattlebark, dairying and oyster farming formed the basis of the local economy in the late 19th century.

However in 1888, gold was discovered on the banks of the Yowaka River, and by 1891 there were eleven mining companies in operation at the Mount Gahan site.

Pambula’s historic past is very much in evidence today, with beautifully restored and maintained historic buildings and farmhouses.

One of these buildings is the former home of Syms Covington, assistant to the great naturalist, Charles Darwin, on the second voyage of The Beagle in the 1830s. He became postmaster of Pambula in 1854, but remained in contact with the renowned scientist, sending a box of Twofold Bay barnacles to help in Darwin’s research.

Pambula today has an eclectic mix of businesses, with art galleries, cafes, restaurants, gift shops and pubs.

Pambula Beach has with an excellent swimming beach patrolled by the Pambula Surf Life Saving Club, a dog friendly beach at Middle Beach and the beautiful Pambula Rivermouth.

There are also walking tracks and viewing platforms.

At the southern end of the town is Panboola, a community-managed recreational area that is restoring parts of the floodplain and former race course.

Just 5 minutes east of the village is Pambula Beach, set between the ocean, the mouth of Pambula River and Ben Boyd National Park.

Enjoy the beautiful historic buildings of Pambula Village

Heading south toward Eden from Pambula, turn off the Highway to Pambula Lake, where there’s a boat ramp for launching vessels. Several oyster growers sell fresh Pambula Lake oysters here too.

Tathra’s famous historic Wharf, classified by the National Trust as the only remaining steamer wharf on the Australian coastline, is a popular spot for fishing.

Swimming at Tathra’s patrolled beach (summer only) may provide the added bonus of a dolphin sighting, or even a glimpse of a passing whale migrating south from September to November.

www.farsouthcoastimag.com.au Bushwalking, kayaking, mountainbiking, snorkelling and surfing are all popular around Tathra.

There are lots of things for the kids to do, with a fantastic skatebowl suitable for skateboards, bikes and scooters, and a great playground, both located near the Tathra Surf Lifesaving Club.

An easy 3km walking & cycling track runs from Tathra to the mouth of the Bega River at Mogareeka, with other walks around town as well.

Mumbulla Mountain, Bega © Paul Callaghan

Bega

www.farsouthcoastimag.com.au

Bega is the business and administrative heart of the Bega Valley. It is also a place of natural beauty, surrounded by lush pastures and forests hugging the escarpment.

Views of Mumbulla Mountain to the north and the escarpment to the west are best appreciated from the Lookout, located just 3 kilometres north of town on the Princes Highway.

In the language of local Aboriginal people, members of the Yuin nation, Bega is said to mean “large camping ground”. It would have been a place of great abundance, with an underground lake feeding a series of wetlands, providing plenty of tucker.

The dairy industry has always played a major part in the Bega economy, and this is still the case today, with the Bega Cheese Co-op one of Australia’s leading manufacturers of dairy products, exporting millions of dollars worth of product every year.

A visit to the Bega Cheese Heritage Centre is a must for all visitors to the region. The Heritage Centre has a wonderful display of cheese and butter-making equipment from the 1900s, and provides an insight into how early farmers lived, worked and transported their products.

The Heritage Centre is also home to the Bega Tourist Information Centre, which provides information about attractions throughout the region.

Bega has seen its demographics change over the past 30 years, with many people moving from cities to enjoy the relaxed country lifestyle.

Bega has a thriving arts community with its own Regional Gallery which hosts several major exhibitions each year, as well as the artist-run Spiral Gallery.

A new retail complex is under construction in the middle of town

which will be home to nationally recognised franchises as well as relocated local businesses when it is completed.

Monthly Garden Advice HEDGING YOUR BETS If you take a look back through the history of gardening you will find the use of hedges in some form or another, used to create a different dimension to a garden.

They are in fact the living walls of a garden and can be low, to create the edge of a garden, or tall to create garden rooms or a windbreak.

There are many interesting plants that can be used to create a hedge and many styles of hedges that can be

developed using these plants.

Formal hedges are usually found in the more manicured type of garden where straight lines are required to give a feeling of style and neatness.

Informal hedges are more likely to be used where a large windbreak is required or perhaps a backdrop to a larger garden that might border a paddock or the next door neighbour.

I have been asked many times "What plants can be used in my shaded

garden to create a hedge?" If you are on the coast, why not use Gardenia or Pittosporum? If you are in the Highlands try the new Daphne ‘Eternal Fragrance’, a new small growing Daphne suited to trimming.

As for a sunny garden, the list of plants is endless. Try Rosemary and Lavender along a path; brushing past the plants allows the fragrance of these plants to be given off.

If you require something taller try Camellia Sasanqua or Murraya (the Orange Jessimine). Recently a customer required a hedge on a concrete area to screen an eyesore. Murraya planted in large concrete troughs soon sorted out the problem.

Many plants you might not have considered using in your particular landscape are suited to hedging.

Call in and see you local nursery for some great suggestions.

The villages of Tilba Tilba and Central Tilba lie on the slopes of Gulaga, a place of great spiritual significance to people from the Yuin nation.

Named Mt. Dromedary by Captain Cook in 1770, the lower slopes of Gulaga became the site of much activity when gold was discovered in the 1860s.

The village of Central Tilba was founded in 1895, when Sam Bate created a subdivision on his land and sold lots at auction.

Many of Tilba’ s buildings were constructed in the late 1880s when the gold boom was at its peak. By the time mining ceased, the dairy industry was firmly established as the main source of income for the area.

The village of Tilba Tilba, just a few kilometres south of Central Tilba, is also protected by a National Heritage listing.

Tilba Tilba is home to the magnificent

Foxglove Spires, featuring one of Australia’s finest open gardens covering 3.5 acres. There is also a cafe, giftware, antiques and a nursery on site. Tilba Tilba also has a general store, and is the base for the walk up Gulaga.

The entire village of Central Tilba was classified by he National Trust in 1974 in recognition of its historical significance.

Central Tilba maintains its village atmosphere, and has become a centre for craftspeople and artisans, as well as ‘old-fashioned’ stores like the general store, lolly shop and toy shop.

Shops with leatherwork, woodwork, jewellery, unusual clothing, cafes, antiques and giftware, as well as the pub, art studios, and the famous cheese factory are all located on Central Tilba’s main street.

The famous Tilba Festival is held every Easter, and is a huge community event. Previous Festivals have included

Tilba Living History

Central Tilba Farm Cabins Ever wondered what happens on a real working farm? Central Tilba Farm Cabins offers you the opportunity to find out.

The cabins are located at ‘Braeside’, an historic 350 acre Tilba property at the foot of spectacular Mt. Dromedary (Gulaga Mountain) with lots of beautiful bush. There are 4 fully self-contained cabins, each one separated from the others to ensure privacy.

Cabins have a main bedroom with a queen sized bed and a connecting shower and toilet, and an open–plan kitchen/living/dining room with a television and twin bunks for the kids (bring your own linen). An open fireplace, well-stocked with split wood, guarantees cosy evenings for the whole family.

The cabins are a 3 minute drive to Central Tilba, and only 5 minutes to the beach, and are a perfect base for exploring all the fabulous sites of the local area. Talk to hosts Ron and Tralee, and you might even be able to bring your pet with you!

Cabins cost from $80 per night for the whole family, and once you’ve experienced a stay at Central Tilba Farm Cabins, you’re sure to become a regular.

Bay Theatre Players presents a "haunting production" ‘The Woman In Black’ is a genuinely haunting Ghost Play, critically acclaimed and currently playing to packed houses in London’s West End. Throughout July theatre lovers can experience an equally spine-chilling production in Batemans Bay at the popular Bay Playhouse.

Stephen Mallatratt has adapted Susan Hill's sinister ghost novel by providing it with a cunningly theatrical frame.

The play exerts the inescapable grip of great storytelling, sending shock waves through the auditorium with splendid thrills and chills.

Technically complex lighting and

sound effects create an edgy atmosphere in which our collective imagination intensifies the suspense.

What is behind the woman in black, first seen in the graveyard? What will her malevolent appearance signify?

This play demands consummate acting skills as two actors explore the characters drawn into her tragic legacy, across a lifetime – and beyond.

This is theatre at its inventive best, simply to good to be missed, (except by the young or faint-hearted, hence only one matinee.)

Performance dates: Preview - Saturday July 9th, July 15th, 16th, 17th (matinee

- 2pm), 20th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th, commencing at 7.30pm. Tickets $15 and $13.

Bookings by phone or in person at Bargain Box Fabrics, Orient St, Batemans Bay or phone 4472 5984.
