Woolworths blocked at the drain Bundjalung David Lovejoy
In a dramatic last-minute move in the Council meeting on Thursday, consideration of Woolworth’s section 68 application was deferred pending a new report from the planning staff. But despite the deferral, Woolworths has in effect been blocked in its attempt to get approval for an onsite wastewater plant in Mullumbimby. The move means that, unless it finds an avenue of appeal, the retail giant will have to delay its plans until it can connect to the main sewer. A new sewage treatment plant for Mullumbimby is still several years away. Woolworths was granted approval for its Station Street project by the State government. At that time its plans were modest enough to allow sufficient surface area for an onsite wastewater treatment plant, with expansion deferred until the reticulated sewer was available. However, last year it applied to the State government
again, intending to go straight to the expanded version of the development while still using onsite sewerage. The Department of Planning approved the modified application in January this year, but under section 68 of the Local Government Act Byron Shire Council remains the determining body for water supply and sewage works. When the matter came before Council, with a recommendation from the planning director for refusal, a majority of Councillors took the unusual step of deferring the decision. They expressed concerns that although the planners had identified seven separate issues for justifying refusal, they had also unexpectedly produced a set of draft approval conditions ‘should Council choose to adopt a pragmatic risk based approach to address each of these issues.’ The draft approval conditions are extremely complex, although still inadequate given the nature of the site and the regulations applying to all self-contained wastewater systems.
Nevertheless, Councillors thought they might provide a loophole for the developer should the matter be appealed to the Land and Environment Court, and the case allotted to a judge incompetent in technical matters. Therefore Cr Tom Tabart’s motion to defer and receive answers to twelve questions about the draft approval conditions was proposed in order to provide documented certainty about the deficiencies of the application. [The twelve questions can be seen on our website, www. echo.net.au, at the end of the online version of this story.] The motion passed 6-3, with Crs Tucker, Heason and Wood voting against it. The meeting on Thursday began with a public access session. Former Councillor Duncan Dey, a hydraulics expert, explained that the water table was too near the surface and the storage tanks would need to be constantly pumped out and the wastewater trucked away. He concluded that anyone could build an onsite system if they continued on page 2

The passing of Bundjalung Arakwal Elder Linda Vidler on Thursday marked a sad day for the Arakwal People and the Byron Bay community. Linda was the last surviving of the three Arakwal sisters who did so much to ensure the native title process remained positive and harmonious. ‘Through the great sadness of her passing, Linda’s momentous achievements for Aboriginal people and the Byron Bay community shine bright and will always be respected,’ Sue Walker, NPWS Area Manager, said. ‘Linda was mother to many and carer of many others in the Bryon area. She worked for decades to achieve native title and recognition for the Bundjalung of Byron Bay (Arakwal) People.’ Linda was born in 1938 to Jimmy Kay and Jane Kay (née Bray) who lived at Iron Bark Camp. Jimmy worked on local farms and Linda’s mother worked as a house-cleaner, gardener and cook. Linda and her sisters grew up close to the land and self-sufficient. Byron Shire Mayor Jan Barham said on Monday, ‘The loss of Bundjalung Arakwal Elder Linda Vidler is sad, but her life’s achievements are respected and celebrated. The long struggle for Native Title recognition delivered jobs, training, cultural and economic outcomes for Aboriginal people. ‘For the community the tireless work of Linda and the Arakwal People has delivered continued on page 2

could pump it out whenever they wished. Why shouldn’t everyone on the waiting list for sewer connection be given the same option? Two representatives from Woolworth’s sewerage consultants, BRW Enterprises (Qld) Pty Ltd, requested Councillors to approve the application (‘so that we can work through the details with you’), and took some questions. Local businessman Gary Scott addressed the issue of the inadequacy of the area available to receive the wastewater if the recommended buffer distances for onsite systems were adhered to and not fudged. For the volume required the area was much less than any other applicant would be allowed. Deborah Lilly from the Mullumbimby Community Action Network took a close

Suffolk Park land to remain ‘community’
Attempted robbery in Byron Bay A man has suffered serious facial injuries after being struck by a bottle outside a cafÊ in Byron Bay over the weekend. About 4pm on Sunday, the 33-year-old man was sitting outside the Browning Street cafÊ, when a girl allegedly struck him across the face causing the bottle to shatter, before attempting to grab his laptop. The man managed to fight the girl off and retain the computer. The girl ran from the cafÊ and was arrested a short distance away by police. The 17-yearold was charged with attempted robbery whilst armed with an offensive weapon causing wounding. She appeared before the Lismore Children’s Court will appear at Byron Bay Local Court. The man was taken to Byron Bay Hospital where he received 15 stitches to a deep wound on the top of his right eyelid.
At last week’s meeting, Council resolved to retain the current classification of the Suffolk Park caravan park as ‘community land.’ There will be discussions with the SP Progress Association and permanent residents of the park with a view to finalising a plan of management. The agenda report misread the history of the land and reported it was resumed by Council. In fact the land was a gift and the caravan park was established by local volunteers.

Member of the Legislative Chamber Ian Cohen added this tribute: ‘It has been an honour to know Bunjalung Arakwal elder Linda Vidler. Her participation on cultural and environmental issues has been instrumental in bequeathing to her future gener-
ations the opportunity to work on country. ‘Linda’s legacy of the formation of the Arakwal National Park is a gift to us all. ‘Linda will continue as the spirit of Byron. She will be sadly missed,’ he said. ‘Our thoughts are with the family and the Arakwal people on this sad occasion and we honour her life and all that she achieved for the environment and Aboriginal people,’ Ms Walker said. The funeral service will take place at Byron Bay Surf Club on Friday, June 19 at 2pm. All are welcome.

Council rebuffs planning minister David Lovejoy
Byron Shire Council will not be appointing any members to the new northern Joint Regional Planning Panel, despite being instructed to do so by NSW Planning Minister Kristina Keneally. At Thursday’s Council meeting the appointments of Cr Basil Cameron, Duncan Dey and Shannon McKelvey, made at the previous meeting, were rescinded and a motion proposed by Cr Tom Tabart was carried. The motion declared: 1. That BSC will not nominate representatives for the JRPP. 2. That BSC considers the establishment of such entities is an unwarranted usurpation of Council’s planning powers. 3. That BSC considers the
code of conduct of JRPPs renders their operation essentially undemocratic. Council now joins a growing number of local government areas seeing the creation of JRPPs as part of a campaign by the NSW government to deny regional populations control over their own planning processes. Under the scheme, the six panels will determine developments of ‘regional significance’. These include, but are not restricted to, developments with a capital investment value of over $10 million, designated developments (developments that require Environmental Impact Statements) and subdivisions over 250 lots. Each panel will consist of three members appointed by the minister, and two members from the local government area
in which the development lies. Drafts of the code of conduct and operating procedures of the new regional bodies were released on June 5. The draft code appears to be less stringent than the Local Government Code, which does not apply to members of the new panels. It also gags comment from all but chairpersons (who can only be chosen from the Stateappointed members) and carries the political requirement to ‘act in a way that enhances public confidence in the integrity of role [sic] of the JRPPs in the planning system.’ The draft operating procedures make it plain that although the proponent of a development will have the opportunity to address the panel, there is no automatic right for objectors to do so. The draft
also takes into account the possibility of councils seeing no purpose in cooperating with the scheme, which even in the mildest interpretation seems designed to remove democratic representation from planning matters. It states, ‘If a council within the area of a Regional Panel fails to nominate one or more council members, a Regional Panel may still exercise its functions in relation to the area of the council concerned.’ Nevertheless, ‘Regional Panels are entitled to the use of the staff and facilities of the relevant council for the purpose of carrying out its functions and that a General Manager of a council must carry out any reasonable direction of a Regional Panel when it is carrying out any of the functions of that council.’

neering and will be fitted with all the extras needed for the task of saving lives. ‘The new tower will be a great asset to the Brunswick Surf Life Savers,’ said Craig during the installation of the frame. ‘We hope it will also be a benefit to the extra lifeguards who patrol over summer.’
A slice off the old block Byron Shire Council has found a relatively inexpensive way to raise the new Brunswick Valley sewage treatment plant above potential sea-level changes. The top of the knoll on the Valences Road site is to be
quarried to provide foundations for the STP. It will cut 15 metres off the knoll but the 47,000 cubic metres of onsite fill will save $185,000 and dispense with 5,000 truck movements.

Three years in the planning, the new tower will begin operation when the SLSC season starts on October 3 and the old tower erected in 1987, which is now so far back into the dunes to be unusable, will be removed from its watch next to the surf club. ‘An extra 30 metres of builtup sand and vegetation now lies between the old tower and the surf,’ said club president Craig Reid. ‘The new tower is closer to the water and a better facility for patrollers to use.’ The Gold Coast City Council donated the plans for tower and the total cost for the project is $50,000.

Rainforest Rescue have recently acquired their 11th property in Queensland’s Daintree Rainforest as part of their Daintree Buy Back and Protect Forever Project. Eleven properties have been purchased in eight years thanks to the generosity of individuals and businesses, many of which are local to the Byron Shire. With each property acquired by Rainforest Rescue, a greater wildlife corridor for endangered flora and fauna species is created. Unfragmented safe zones that have no buildings, pets, weeds, or traffic intrusion. Rainforest Rescue’s Executive Officer, Kelvin Davies, told The Echo, ‘We are already looking at buying property No. 12. With each lot we are able to buy back we are correcting the mistakes of the past.’ Development of the Daintree lowlands began in the mid 1980s after Jo Bjelke-Petersen’s government approved a large rural residential subdivision. In 1998, the Daintree National Park was created, but sadly the area was left with the legacy of the subdivision. However, with the Buy Back project, each property is restored to nature refuge status and protected forever. Davies said, ‘This project has a very tangible outcome. Hundreds of Byron Shire locals have sponsored a few square metres of the Daintree, and together with other significant contributions from individuals and businesses we have secured our eleven plots at an average price of $85,000 each. Many people like to lobby politicians to make changes to laws concerning the environment but this is a very direct way in which each per-

Local schools shine in the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge with their progress and I cannot wait to see just what they come up with for their graduation.’ RAW has a no set rules and focuses solely on the performance elements of dance and drama, encouraging students to use the human body in order to tell their story. The Mullum High students have been rehearsing the piece since February. The theme of this year’s performance is ‘Let’s reflect on not being a reject’, encapsulating the idea that life’s experiences and adventures give us the opportunity to be able to do the best we can and sometimes we have to deal with rejection and disappointment and discover the fine art of getting back out into the world and having another go. The piece, which was choreographed by Cassie Warman, was well received by the audience and the judges and was awarded the ‘Prize for Excellence’ in choreography, drama, concept, performance skills, community and social awareness and will see the troupe perform in the RAW finals in Brisbane on July 29.

Two local schools rocked the Gold Coast last week when they hit the stage at the 2009 Rock Eisteddfod Challenge and J Rock at the Gold Coast Arts Centre, as part of Queensland Health’s Good Mental Health Rocks promotion. Rock Eisteddfod Challenge promotes teamwork, goal setting, and positive self-esteem as major factors that assist in achieving good mental health. Queensland Health again joined the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge, promoting a campaign aimed at raising awareness amongst youth about the significance of good mental health and the services available to them. Both the Mullumbimby Christian School and Mullumbimby High School sent troupes of extraordinary performers to the event. J Rock is the junior division of Rock Eisteddfod Challenge designed for primary school students. J Rock is non-competitive and aims to educate students on the benefits of a healthy diet and active lifestyle by giving them a unique opportunity to get fit and active with their friends. In their second year at J Rock, Mullumbimby Christian School presented a piece whose theme
was ‘All You Need Is Love’ – a message as needed as much today as it was in 1967 when John Lennon and Paul McCartney penned their legendary song. ‘We love how J Rock provides the opportunity for our whole school community to collaborate and produce a powerful dance and drama presentation,’ said school principal Richard Sansom. ‘It was exciting to receive sev-
eral awards for our performance, but the greatest honour was to be awarded the Gemma Dale Memorial Award, in memory of a young lady who worked with the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge Foundation for three years and sadly died in 2006.’ Mullumbimby High School
returned to the Gold Coast after last year’s success, to perform in RAW a division of the Rock Eisteddfod Challenge. Not only were the troupe performing in the dance competition, but 11 students were participating as make-up artists as the culmination of an ‘Applica-

From 140 applications across the fields of visual arts, theatre, dance, design, installation, architecture, digital media, sound art, literature and community arts the ten were chosen to undertake a three-week Arts Lab residency in Lismore in July 2009. Concepts workshopped during the residency will be further developed over a six-month period, several being commissioned to premiere at Splendour in the Grass 2010.
Local selection: architect Dominic Finlay-Jones
Steven Alderton, director of Lismore Regional Gallery, said, ‘Splendour in the Grass represents the future of arts audiences and we are very fortunate to have Splendour contributing financially and providing the showcase for these works.’ That contribution is to the tune of $150,000 over three years, on top of the Australian Council’s $600,000 three-year investment. Artists selected include visual artist Alice Lang, who grew up in Byron Bay and now resides in Brisbane, dancer Kristy Ayre, who grew up in Lismore and now lives in Melbourne, and Byron-based architect Dominic Finlay-Jones. Jessica Ducrou, promoter of Splendour in the Grass, said that ‘developing the visual art and performance aspect of our festival has always been important to me, since our first Splendour nine years ago.’
Fire Brigade $7,500, The Uncle Project $5,600, Rainforest Rescue $5,000 and Byron Shire Early Intervention Service $1,480. Since 2002, the Splendour In The Grass Community Grants program has seen $230,000 distributed to Byron Shire organisations, including the Byron Bay Hospital Auxiliary, WIRES Northern Rivers, the Byron Environment Centre, the Youth Activities Centre, Byron Youth Services and the Belongil Restoration project.
Principal bares all for charity
It was a matter of ‘Hair one moment, gone the next’ for Mullumbimby Christian School principal Richard Sansom at the School’s ‘Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea’ Cancer Council fundraiser. Mr Sansom had offered to sacrifice his beard if the school reached their target of $500. After reaching the target he agreed to have his head shaved if the donations reached $1,000. ‘This was our third annual Morning Tea’, said Mr Sansom, ‘and I had hoped that we would reach $500. When I got up on Friday morning it was certainly not on my radar that we would end up with such a huge total and that I would be going home bald! For a small school like ours, raising $1,056 was a wonderful result.’

BYS reprises 7 From 7 Youth Forum Victoria Cosford
A kit to safe hitching was one of the projects presented at the second BYS youth forum. An initiative of the Mullumbimby BYS and made possible by funding from the MInistry of Transport, it consists of a sturdy tote bag with the slogan ‘Watch Your Behind, Some Spots Are Blind’ in orange fluoro, an orange fluoro Slap Band for the wrists and a brochure full of tips on how to hitchhike safely. ‘7 From 7’ is a social network for young people, youth workers, community members and teachers from the seven local government areas of the Northern Rivers, an opportunity for them all to come together in a supportive environment and discuss sustainable projects for their communities. Held in the Byron Youth Activity Centre, it attracted about 40 people, mostly kids but also representatives from various community bodies such as Mark Gasson from the Uncle Project and Harry Sollander from Northern Rivers Community Foundation who were there to answer questions and give advice. Mentoring coordinator Rosalie Bryant opened proceedings with a summary of the last forum. Three issues had surfaced as being the most pressing – namely, the need for young people to have a voice in the community; the lack of activities for youth; and drugs and alcohol. The ‘tyranny of distance’ was also mentioned as being an imperative concern. Groups were then formed to exchange ideas for ongoing or future projects with regards to these and other issues. One group discussed the desirability of transport from hinterland and distant areas such as Goonengerry into By-

ron Bay on the weekends, with possibilities such as shuttle buses to prevent long-suffering parents from having to function as taxis. The small group from Tweed came up with the notion of a youth-run newspaper, online or print, to act as a network for young people and to focus on their interests. The next of these important forums is scheduled for December. They constitute a source of inspiration, connection and confidence-building for young people throughout the region who can come together and have a say in what matters to them, what troubles them, and ultimately in their own futures.
Become a mentor In related news, BYS is currently seeking people to become mentors in its 2009 programs commencing soon in Mullumbimby and Byron Bay. If you would like to discover
how you could become a fabulous mentor to a young person, BYS invites you to attend an information session on various aspects of its mentoring program, being held on Wednesday June 17 from 1 to 3pm at
the Byron Youth Activity Centre in Gilmore Crescent. Bookings are essential: contact BYS mentoring coordinator, Rosalie Bryant, either by phone 6685 7777 ext 3, or email mentoring@bys.org.au.
Mullum High ex-students group spans generations Support for the recently formed Mullumbimby High School Ex-Students Association is spanning the generations. Among the first families to include two generations are Mrs Cicely Reid of Byron Bay and her sons Ivan and Syl. Mrs Reid was a devoted supporter of the school in the days before there was a high school at Byron Bay. Hers is the first name on the Register of Social Members. President of the Association, Neville Marks, said that Social Memberships are open to anyone who had a close connection with the school, perhaps through the P & C, but who are not ex-students or ex-staff. Other memberships are open to past students and teaching and non-teaching staff.
Dr Ivan Reid, a physicist now at Brunel University in England, was one of the first to sign up to a voting membership, and his brother Syl, active in community groups in Byron Bay, is an associate member. Mr Marks said that the first project to be supported by the Association was the purchase of an electronic lectern to improve audio-visual presentations made in the John Pearce Auditorium. The first social gathering of the Association will be a breakfast at the school on Monday, August 3 followed by participation in the school’s NAIDOC celebrations.

Wildlife Rescuers receive World Environment Day Award Each year on June 5 the UN promotes worldwide awareness of the environment with a World Environment Day, first established by the UN General Assembly in 1972. This year Byron Shire Council promoted World Environment Day by hosting a variety of environmental displays, talks and walks around the Shire based on the theme of ‘Living Landscapes’. WIRES members Alicia Carter and Sharon McGrigor took part in the celebrations
and proudly accepted a World Environment Day Award presented by Mayor Jan Barham. This award was accepted on behalf of all their hard working wildlife carers in the Northern Rivers. WIRES received this award for their past efforts and ongoing dedication to the Rescue, Rehabilitation and Release of our local wildlife. Spokesperson for WIRES Sharon McGrigor said ‘WIRES has had over 7,500 wildlife calls which has amounted to a staggering 4,000
native animals in care over the past year.’ Elsewhere around the Northern Rivers, WIRES volunteers Dave Endres and Sherryn Page set up displays at Lismore TAFE Campus, educating the public about threatened species found locally. There was also an event at Heritage Park hosted by Lismore City Council where primary school students took part in activities revolving around World Environment Day. For futher information on

Solar hot water rebate is still available The government’s solar panel grant cut does not affect the solar hot water rebate. Last week’s announcement of the end of the solar photovoltaic rebate program threw the solar hot water industry into chaos, with confused homeowners mistakenly assuming that the solar hot water rebate had been abolished. The $8,000 solar photovoltaic rebate from the Federal Government was cut short three weeks ahead of schedule. But the an-

nouncement does not apply to solar hot water, and the current Federal Government solar hot water rebate of $1,600 plus some additional State based rebates will still apply. An Ecosmart spokesman said, ‘Homeowners will in fact be pleased to know that they can still ride the wave of the solar hot water rebate for another couple of years, and this announcement will not affect them at all. Solar hot water customers can be assured that they
will still receive solar hot water rebates from the government to help reduce the cost of switching to environmental hot water.’ To be eligible for the government’s solar hot water rebates, the new hot water system must replace an existing electric storage hot water system. By installing a solar hot water system, households can expect to reduce energy bills, while producing up to 65 per cent less greenhouse gas emissions per year than electric water heaters .

High impact of federal workplace relations system on Bay businesses The Federal Government’s workplace relations system will be fully operational by January 1, 2010. The new system affect the local business community in many ways. Workplace Relations Consultant Helen Watson believes Byron Bay businesses should make themselves aware of the changes and new provisions now, prior to commencement of the new system. ‘Almost every business needs some form of action plan, however simple, to minimise the effect of the new legislation,’ she said. Next week Watson is running a free seminar for local businesses where she will give an overview of changes and help people explore implications for their business. The seminar will be on June 26 at the Byron Bay RSL on Johnson Street from 2-4pm. Registration is essential. Contact Helen at watson85@yahoo. com.au or on 0438 897 267. www.echo.net.au

OS Art Expo all set to go
Bitou bush spraying to be delayed Byron Shire Council will ask National Parks and Wildlife not to conduct aerial sprays of bitou bush on Council-controlled land, pending examination of alternative strategies. This resolution from last week’s meeting came with an associated plan to involve volunteers in hands-on management of the weed. Cr Simon Richardson, in his urgency motion, said an annual weekend of community work could become a great social event. Cr Richard Staples said that in addition to glyphosatebased herbicide sprays being indiscriminate and unhealthy, they were largely ineffective against bitou. The hardy seeds of the bush often survived and regerminated.
The painting Ri Fraser has on her easel is a Norwegian scene as Trevor Watts, President of Lions Brunswick/Mullumbimby drops by, Trevor bringing with him a cheque for $2,500 as sponsorship for the Ocean Shores Art Expo ‘09. Ri Fraser, President of OSAE, thanked Trevor and Lions for the invaluable ongoing sup-
port which has allowed a small group of OSAE volunteers to stage an increasingly successful art competition and exhibition in Ocean Shores. This is the Expo’s sixth year and Ri said, ‘The Art Expo is the biggest community event in our area, with up to a thousand visitors over the weekend. Last year we had 180 paintings,
representing professionals, amateurs and beginners, with total prize money of $3,500. ‘On top of that, many schoolchildren are entering excellent artwork. For 2009 our theme is “Seeds of Change”.’ Artists can get details and fill out entry forms on www.osartexpo.com. Last date for entries for the Expo is August 28.
Belongil sacred relic uncovered Victoria Cosford
A dog-walking exercise on Belongil Beach gave Dan McDonnell and friends slightly more than they had bargained for. Protruding from one of the heavily eroded dunes was what appeared to be the pointy finend of a surfboard – so Dan started digging. It took him ‘a good hour’ to extract the object from the sand enveloping it and the shrubs grown over the top of it – but there it was, a perfectly intact surfboard, circa 1970, complete with faded psychedelic image of swirling waves and the words ‘Kenn Custom Surfing Adventure’ still legible. He dusted it off and bore it away with him. He’s already taken it out a few times for

the victim of another mighty storm decades ago, and only now with the recent heavy erosions brought to light? He would love to know if anyone has any knowledge of his find. He can be contacted at dan_b_mcdonnell@yahoo. com

Rubbish from other parts of the Shire will be collected in the coming weeks. Each household is limited to two cubic metres of waste and Council is asking residents to separate the items into two piles, one for metal and one for non-metal items. The collection is for bulky goods only, not for smaller items that will fit in a wheelie bin. The collection excludes building materials, paints, garden waste, batteries, gas bottles, industrial waste and food scraps. Residents in Ocean Shores, South Golden Beach, New Brighton and Brunswick Heads. should have their waste at the kerb by June 21. The collection in these areas will be completed by June 26.

One reason for this sanguine outlook may be that so far at least Australia has appeared an island of stability in a storm-wracked world. There have been few real collapses, no flood of repossessions, and not many families have had friends or relatives dumped in the dole queue. But perhaps above all, the banks have stood rock solid, declaring in stentorian tones that for them it will be business as usual. They will continue to be arrogant, grasping, and above all profitable bastards. Thus it was almost reassuring to hear the Commonwealth say it was ignoring Reserve Bank policy, Government pleas and common decency and putting up its rates; some things never change.

LEP and reality Sandy Gilmore’s letter (June 9) points out how the draft LEP is based on a misleading foundation, the Byron Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (BBCS). Hank Bower’s article (May 5) comments that the process of preparation of the BBCS was ‘painstaking’ The draft LEP proposes to zone E2 and E3, ‘environmental conservation’ and ‘environmental management’ areas of land in Goonengerry that are under horticultural production. These areas are easily visible to any aerial observation. As E2 prohibits horticultural production, then ‘silly’ is clearly a more appropriate epithet than ‘painstaking’ when describing this process. With climate change and the economic downturn we need to have the best possible planning based on the best science and it should reflect reality. This draft LEP clearly doesn’t reflect reality, there are other flaws. It is important that those responsible consider the embarrassment that the above mentioned failures to reflect reality will create, should this LEP go into operation. We need to nurture the political capital we have for conservation initiatives rather than squander it on costly hollow grand gestures. The draft LEP needs serious revision, this would best be done in consultation with www.echo.net.au
Supermarkets like Woolworths are painted by the local cafe set as an evil monster that fills children with additives and exercises Skinnerian mind control over consumers. This may be so but its fundamental principle is the efficient warehousing and distribution of multiple products to standardised locations Consumers acting on their own volition select these products based on price, quality and packaging. Supermarkets profit by obtaining the products from producers at the lowest price (a price that is profitable to the producer or there will eventually be no supply) and selling at a price that is acceptable to the consumer (a price that will make them buy or not go to a different supermarket). That’s it, end of chat, no shadowy boardroom figures, no covert links to the CIA, no secret handshakes or smearing of entrails in the dead of night. They buy stuff, move stuff, then sell stuff. They don’t survey a community’s aesthetics and design the building accordingly, it’s the same efficient structure everywhere. They don’t paint rainbows on the side of their buildings, they have a logo. They don’t source local produce because it’s too expensive and inefficient, not because they want to drive them out of business . I am overwhelmed by the all-knowing, patronising fringe that dictates how Woolies will affect us. It started with increased heroin use in teens and a surge in graffiti, then tumbleweeds down main ■
street. These anti-Woolies people believe only one thing, the masses (that’s us and our kids) are too dumb to choose, we’re to busy rubbing suntan lotion on our necks or eating a Tbone steak. Well, the reality is we can choose, I like many others enjoy fresh veg and will continue to use Eden’s Landing and others. I enjoy talking to the local butcher about the virtues of female pork. I love selecting my kid’s birthday cake at the local bakery. I don’t, however, like paying 30% more for toothpaste, toilet paper and shampoo at the local general store. I will therefore choose to buy these items at Woolworths and I have no doubt in my mind that I’ll be seeing you all there. John Sharpe
Myocum Someone please do correct me should I have this all wrong. From sales records I have seen in December 2007 Mallams did a deal with State Rail to purchase the Station Street property for $1.326m. We all enjoyed our Christmas and Mallams starts the New Year, January 2008 selling that same property to Woolworths for $3.8m. So is that a $2.474m profit for Mallams’ land component (not the sale of the business) in their dealings with Woolworths? Is that $2.474m in Mallams’ hand and $1.326m in the State Rail’s? None of my business some might say; however, it does say to me that Byron Shire Council’s purchase of the adjoining ‘Telstra site’ looks even more of

Shooters’ enormity
It appears the NSW Government may have done yet another dirty deal with the Shooters Party. Fourteen years after the duck season was banned in NSW, the shooters want it brought back, but now want to include kangaroos, black swans, galahs and other native species. Not content with shooting in state forests they now want access to shooting in National Parks, including native wildlife. All the pious statements from the shooters claiming to be conservationists are now exposed as an absurd sham. They don’t mind what they shoot as long as they can shoot. The State Government should not be encouraging this dangerous blood lust. Let’s hope that sanity prevails and the Government does not support the Shooters Party’s nasty piece of legisla-
Not a scientist… Before photosynthesis and plants developed, the world had no oil or coal sequestered, so nearly all carbon was as CO2 or CO1 or sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere, or dissolved in oceans or as part of carbonated rocks like limestone. No carbon was in plants or animals, as there were none. So the atmosphere must have had very high levels of CO2, but nil of free oxygen. Yet severe cooling and glaciation set in several times. Volcanoes have often added more gases since. When life proliferated in the interglacial warm periods, the alternating global warmings and global coolings caused some mass extermination of species, even before, during, and after the Carboniferous Period, when most of the coal, oil and gas fields were being sequestered by plants taking CO2 from that atmosphere. While all this CO2 was so

Mullumbimby Two victories at once! The ridiculous Woolworths proposal for Mullum rejected, and a year’s moratorium put on the lethal aerial spraying of coastal bitou bush on councilowned land! I am smiling with happiness. In regards to Woolworths being rejected, I am glad that Mullumbimby is not, for now, plagued with corporations of greed. In regards to the aerial spraying issue, Cr Simon Richardson put forward an effective motion in council last Thursday. Paraphrasing the motion, it stated that instead of environmentally damaging pesticide spraying, community management of bitou bush on our coastal dunes is critical. We as an aware community need to manage bitou bush properly, and actually ‘do it right’. If we all join and successfully show that we can manage this hands-on-task through the power of community effort, then aerial spraying will be stopped. If we fail in this coastal management, aerial spraying on council land will happen again next year. Let’s make a united front, as there is still lots of work to be done. Let’s do it!

Firstly, we need to remind The Echo that Byron is a seaside shire. Secondly, some of us like to go down to the seaside from time to time and get messing about in boats. We can’t do this, or any other seaside thing, unless we know the state of the tides. We rely on The Echo to keep us abreast of this important information. However, The Echo has let us down badly by printing the same tides and times for at least three weeks now. This isn’t the first time The Echo has committed this crime of neglect. Is there no honest old-fashioned proofreading any more? Come on, Echo, we know you can do better.

What to do about Belongil Beach erosion is again the ■ The Belongil is not just a dune with a line of houses; it is a suburb of our township with a long history intricately linked to the birth of Byron Bay. In reply to Matthew Lambourne and Claire Huddersfield, are you aware that in the 1990s, ratepayers’ money has been used to build flood levees in Mullumbimby to stop the continued inundation of floodwaters that occurred almost every wet season? It is easy to take the opinionated high ground when others face a problem posed by nature, Mullumbimby can be thankful to the past community spirit that was alive and well in those days and to those who sought solutions to the despair and economic losses caused by floods in the town. The 1987 flood in Mullumbimby affected Stuart Street, McGougans Lane, Station Street, Train Street, Mill Street, Strudal Lane, Dalley Street, Brunswick Terrace, Gordon Street, Prince Street, Poinciana Street, Morrison Avenue, Crown Street, Queen Street, Argyle Street, King Street, James Street, Ann Street, Tincogan Street, Burringbar Street, Murwillumbah Road, Myocum Street, Cedar Street, Byron Street, Oleandar Street, Jubilee Avenue and Hakea Court. The Mullumbimby levees were built after this event. Byron Shire Council pays for flood mitigation to reduce the impacts on your community. Maybe it should be a level
playing field for all Byron Shire residents affected by natural events and everyone should be calling for the removal of all man made interference like river flood levees, flood pump stations and the Brunswick river rock training walls. Let’s go natural, remove the groin in Byron township and see where the shifting sands wander.
No coincidence maybe that the Council Chambers are situated in Mullumbimby ? Seriously, as a community let’s try and not waste time and money on debate and consultants – but pull together to ensure that positive action is forthcoming to avert a future catastrophe for Belongil and Byron Bay.

Forces of nature are beyond our control; storms, earthquakes are acts that we can only hope to escape the worst of. Other catastrophes such as climate change have been forecast for years and human involvement is only now being ramped up to meet the problem or profit from it. As a child my Grandmother would often talk about life – how to build a good one, and quote from the bible. ‘Don’t build your house on sand as the wind and tides will wash it away,’ she would say. Like your life, build it on solid foundations… great advice! The Three Little Pigs were also often cited – I always wanted to be the little Piggie with the brick house, not one made of straw ! With our current knowledge of rising tides allowing further development on sand – girt by sea – as Byron Shire Council has done at Belongil is hoping that an Act of God won’t eventuate or if it does, so many people will be washed away that no-one will be left to tell the tale! ■
There seems to be an important element missing in the public debate on the issue of the Belongil Spit and beach erosion in general. I was on Council’s Coastline Management Committee until late 2003 and experts in the field gave the following consistent advice to the committee: protection of dunes by rocks on a recognised long term eroding coastline will eventually result in no beach. Advocates of protecting the Belongil Spit properties should recognise that any substantial protection works will result in a messy beach in the short term and no beach for the wider community in the longer term. The rock wall in front of the swimming pool is like that even with a groyne to slow the northerly movement of sand. Coastline management is a complex issue and the Belongil Spit even more so. There were some modest dwellings existing on the Spit before the 1988 LEP came into force. Part J of the DCP (basically planned retreat) was adopted as a means
■
to allow further development on existing subdivided land that was recognised as eroding in the long term. People that have built after 1988 accepted the planned retreat restrictions on development knowing that they were always on an unknown amount of borrowed time. History has shown us though that landowners have employed various means to understandably protect their homes that are threatened. One argument used presently is that a breach of the dunes would be a disaster for the town. This argument fails to add that there is a permanent breach of the dunes known as the creek mouth. Major cyclones and storms will come and the town will experience flooding as has happened in the past. Council is faced with a very complex issue with no one perfect outcome. Even well engineered and expensive walls are no guarantee in a major cyclone anyway. Council knows that rock walls equals no beach eventually. They would also like landowners to have long term security. Unfortunately, any attempt to achieve that outcome and the beach will disappear. A difficult choice and not as simple as some portray it. Mark McDermid
Broken Head ■ The beach at Belongil may indeed have diminished between 1883 and the 1940s but currently it is definitely the rock works at Main Beach that are causing all the damage. Matthew Lambourne lives at Mullumbimby, but if he cared to come to Byron and walk from the wreck towards Belongil at low tide he would be able to observe that the northflowing, sand-bearing current that has been diverted by the rock works turns sharply back on to its pre-diverted channel that runs parallel to the beach. This happens about 150-200 metres from First Sun (I think – I’m not a very good judge of distance). That this diversion is mainly
at fault can also be easily observed – it is most severe closest to First Sun, but tapers off as it approaches the creek. The main effect is not storm damage itself, but the impairment of the beach’s ability to selfrepair as uninterfered-with beaches do. I used to walk from the Wreck to beyond Belongil nearly every day. I observed that the sand cliffs created after storm activity, even though they are only loosely backed sand, stay vertical for a surprisingly long time and only started to rebuild once the top edge had crumbled and formed a mound at the base of the sand cliff. I came to the conclusion that a sand bank is in fact a ‘bank’ of accumulated sand that the moving forward of the accumulated sand is essential to the process of self-repair, though I must admit I don’t understand why this is so. So building houses on the edge of the dune is already interfering with this process. Some years ago Council knocked back a proposal for a stilt-type house, similar to those at that famous California beach whose name currently escapes me. This seems to me to be the only type of structure that could survive in this situation and also allow the forward movement of sand. Council’s insistence on demountability is actually just a device to cover their arses against being sued if they approve a development which gets swept into the sea at some future date, particularly in view of the fact that technology for the mass removal of houses doesn’t really exist. However, in the circumstances any responsible Council whether Green or pro-development has no option but to adopt a planned retreat policy. Some rocks have been dumped illegally in the past and the gouging of the dunes next to them can be easily seen. Rock terraces interspersed with rubble would allow the waves to run, dump their sand and retreat, but piles of rocks only

exacerbate the damage. Any tactic employed will result in sand accumulations to be destroyed in storm episodes, but the trick is to build something that will allow the beaches to self-repair. Dune systems are in a constant state of flux. Our problems have arisen by imposing an inflexible solution to a fluid situation. We should avoid this sort of solution in the future. David Gilet
Byron Bay ■ Unless remedial action is taken immediately, there will be another landslide, caused by escarpment erosion, near the 40kph section of Cooolamon Scenic Drive, which will mean that residents of Goonengerry, Coorabell, Federal and Rosebank will have to drive all the way north along the Pacific Highway, in order to get to Mullumbimby. Council would be right to stop people protecting their homes from storm damage at Belongil, if such protection measures endangered the public, significantly reduced public amenity, or cost Council a lot of money, but Belongil homeowners’ protective measures don’t do any of these things, hence Council should not stop people from protecting their homes at Belongil. The sea level will rise a lot in the next five years. In New Guinea entire tribes have recently abandoned their lowlying islands.
Peter Olson
Goonengerry ■ Why does a green council set out to destroy the Little Tern, a wetland, and a 6,000 year old dune in favour of a man-made feature and manmade erosion? Amid the comment regarding the Belongil, a few points stand out as being odd. Why did we do all that work to protect the Little Tern nesting site if Council just plans to destroy it? Why is the rich habitat of the Belongil estuary to be destroyed? Why is the foredune,

main topic of the week which core-sample tests show to be a 6,000-year-old feature, damaged by sandmining and by erosion processes caused by the main beach car park, to be destroyed? This all just strikes me as bizarre. Then there is the huge compensation bill to pre-1988 landowners. The alternative solution, on the other hand, costs ratepayers nothing, as the landowners will do the work. So, an expensive piece of environmental vandalism is official policy green policy? It doesn’t make sense. Keine Nombre
Byron Bay There are a number of furphies being put around regarding Belongil’s erosion that need redressing. One is that if the sea breaks through the sand dunes at Belongil it will flood the town centre. The reality is that Belongil Creek already flows through the sand dunes and regularly backs up into the town centre. If the creek breaks through somewhere else it will make no difference. Obviously the town is not currently below sea-level. Another is that the rock wall around the pool is solely responsible for Belongil’s ero-
■
sion problems. Rockwalls do increase erosion downdrift, though impacts rapidly diminish. For example, application of Komar and McDougal’s methodology suggests that the impact of the pool seawall would only extend 250m towards Belongil. The pool rockwall is only likely to make a minor contribution to Belongil’s erosion problems. The reality is that many of the houses at Belongil were built on an unstable sand spit between a creek and the ocean, in an area already undergoing coastal recession. Since 1978 the area has been clearly identified as one of NSW’s erosion hot spots and since 1988 landowners have been required to remove their houses when threatened by erosion. Landowners cannot now claim ignorance. Now rising sea-levels and a return to the stormy conditions experienced from the mid 1950s to mid 1970s are exacerbating the underlying problems. If we want to maintain our beaches we need to allow them to retreat inland in response to rising sea levels and coastal recession. If we place rock walls in the way, we accelerate the erosion of the beaches and ultimately all we
have left are the rock walls. If we allow rock walls at Belongil it will be the precedent for the rest of our developed coastline. Our beaches are of immense aesthetic, ecological, recreational and economic importance. Does the community now want to adapt to climate change by abandoning planned retreat and replacing our beaches with rock walls? Dailan Pugh
Byron Bay Open letter to the Byron Mayor: Dear Jan, I’m one of 1400 rate payers in this shire. As you know I’m a German national not allowed to vote here but quite active in our community. In regard to the Belongil landowners, some of them I know in person and understand the need of action, I hereby let you know that I refuse to pay my rates until you and your council act in support of the Belongil land threat. We – I mean to be clear – are the ratepayers of this shire who pay for services for all of us living here. And I hope this simple clear message is followed by the 1399 other rate payers to make a point!

even paid for the services of an independent environmental specialist to provide a critical review of the problematic on-site wastewater and stormwater proposals. Even though the new DA really has no substantive changes from the original, Regenesis cleverly has submitted it as a ‘new’ DA as opposed to an amended DA, and as a result Council has decided that it will not even look at or consider any of the previous submissions, ignoring all the hard work of our community. What a sham they are making of the community consultation process! Almost our entire community is opposed to these inappropriate and unneeded
residential subdivisions and a commercial centre being imposed on Main Arm. I urge all those who previously sent in a submission, to update it and resend it. And I urge other greater Shire residents, who don’t want to see Byron hinterland areas being turned into a series of suburban subdivisions, to send one as well. The DA can be seen online at the Council website, Council offices and the Main Arm shop. Submissions close July 1. You must quote DA No. 10.2009.220.1, Parcel No. 214550, 240324 and give your grounds for objection. Thank you all for your support.

I want to alert the Main Arm community and other Byron Shire residents that Regenesis has submitted a ‘new’ DA for their proposed 24-lot suburban style subdivision, including a commercial centre, on the north side of the Main Arm hamlet. Together with the 21 lots Davis subdivision on the south of the hamlet, these 46 new houses will completely change and forever ruin the rural character of Main Arm. When the previous Regenesis DA was exhibited in May 2008, the DA received 75 submissions objecting and only one in favour. Our community and the Main Arm Residents Association spent hundreds of hours carefully preparing these objections, and MARA

Sweat better than chemicals
Farmers’ Markets -Sustainable agriculture in action!
Story and pic Lou Beaumont
Imagine a world where what you did every day was not for any speedy outcome but rather for the sheer enjoyment of the process of restoring the earth. It is a world that organic bush regenerator Don Drinkwater lives in. After a long walk around Drinkwater’s Huonbrook property I stared in disbelief at an old photograph. It was of the original farmhouse sitting plainly in large expanses of bare paddocks. Today, the property is regenerating native forest, with some areas naturally further along than others, and a haven for native wildlife of all kinds. To some, the concept of bush regeneration is foreign enough, to others, those who dabble or work fully in bush regen, the idea of doing that kind of work without the aid of herbicides in unthinkable. Use of herbicides, such as Round Up, as spray or ‘scrape and paint’ applications is widespread as it gets the most instant results. Instant and obvious results – something Drinkwater says is indicative of our current collective philosophy.
At your local farmers’ market you can buy fresh, seasonal produce with low food miles and minimal packaging, direct from the grower. In doing so, you form a vital link in the goals of sustainable agriculture – healthy ecosystems, productive farms and prosperous communities. The excellent climate and soils of the Byron Shire mean that a diverse range of produce is available all year round – nuts, eggs, asian greens, rainforest foods, tomatoes, pork, beef, bananas, flowers, coffee, artisan cheeses, sugar cane juice, jams, pickles… Each season also produces its own speciality: In Winter, look for avocados, dragonfruit and pecans…

‘Everyone wants results and they want them yesterday,’ he says. ‘For me, the results are more rewarding over time and when I am an active part of the process. Though weedkiller may prove to be instantly effective, I find no place for it on my property. I don’t believe in ground spraying of any kind. It damages the micro flora and fauna of the soil and therefore the precious topsoil itself. Plus, by working manually I am automatically working closer to the natural rate of growth and death of the plants and creating a work area that is manageable in terms of follow up weed removal. ‘In the world of organic bush regen there is no such thing as a weed, only misplaced plants. Everything cut back and not sprayed is organic, mulchable material. By hand-removing weeds and encouraging native seedlings to regenerate through collection and scattering you are intimately involved with the workings of your environment. Working with natural life cycles you can discourage weeds, and give natives a fighting chance where they then do the rest.’ Drinkwater admits that it is easy to get carried away, especially when the intention is as good as wanting to see the bush restored. He is a realist too and knows that many don’t have the time for this amount of dedicated regeneration. But perhaps it is not a question of more time necessary to go organic, but rather, the same amount of time spent differently? Don continues, ‘By working with the natural rhythms I soon learnt that less work
more frequently is more effective than blanket spraying and/or huge amounts of labour with no follow up. Besides, I am more enamoured with the slower process, I get to see things I wouldn’t if I was charging through the bush at head height, like the microcosm in the soil. I recommend anyone compare sprayed soil and soil that has been unsprayed for at least a year and see the difference. The more organic the soil the more it is teeming with life.’ Dave Rawlins of Brunswick Valley Landcare, who has worked many organic hours on Drinkwater’s property, shares his insights into getting started in bush regeneration for Echo readers wanting to green their hands. ‘Organic weed control may not always be practical on large scales or with little work but it certainly is valid and has a role. I liken it somewhat to slow food versus mainstream food production. As Don points out, organic regen is also about the wonderment of nature and being involved in and observing the processes. ‘Bush regen is just about assisting nature to help re-establish the natural process and letting the natural succession come back into play. Really a weed is only a weed because it can out-compete and threaten
native plants growing and/ or germinating, not just because it is exotic. By removing enough of the weeds you are giving native species a chance to establish. A site becomes more stable as it moves from high disturbance (high levels of light, soil disturbance, etc) to a state where more shade reduces vigorous weed growth. If weeds can be prevented from spreading and reproducing that is half the battle.
Start small ‘I think really as long as people are improving a site then they are winning. I think sweat can be more potent than chemicals but it does take commitment, maintenance and a vision. If people start from good bush and work out, instead of tackling high weed infestation areas first, not only will their efforts be rewarded but they will strengthen the site’s resilience. ‘Also, organic methods will require more maintenance so it makes sense to start a small and manageable patch where you will be rewarded by the outcomes and keep going. Even just weeding around native plants will ensure they survive and grow.’ ■ Don Drinkwater can be con-

Over the last few months David Young has been creating and shooting a brand new online image stock library for Northern Rivers Tourism. He successfully tendered for the job of collating the existing photos from Northern Rivers Tourism affiliates and then shooting new material where it was needed. David suggested that the images should be stored online in the form of a stock library, and has
engaged Adrian Nelson from Utopia Creative to design and create the online library. This has been a dream job for David as it has given him the chance to rediscover the Northern Rivers again, from Grafton to Tweed, from Brooms Head to the Border Ranges and west as far as Tabulum. ‘It reminds me once again what a beautiful place we live in,’ he said.

Dr Sketchy’s Anti Art School starts Victoria Cosford
An extraordinary concept in drawing classes is about to hit Byron Bay. Dr Sketchy’s Anti Art School – conceived in the US about five years ago and with branches in at least 25 cities – is a monthly opportunity for people to gather at the Buddha Bar and sketch cabaret, circus or dance artists who will pose to a background of music, entertainment, conversation and drinking. Masterminds behind the scheme are Evan Kosack and Alison Lloyd. The former a Lennox Head vet and part-time visual arts student at SCU and the latter, Ashby-based, who started a branch of Dr Sketchy’s in Tokyo some years back. Evan believes the concept will work perfectly in a place
like Byron Bay. He describes the evenings as ‘a fantasy of glamour and seductiveness, (empowering) normal people to adopt an alter ego and have fun’. He and Alison hope to target ‘artists, wannabe artists, drunks, people with some vague artistic pretensions who want a fun night out’. It was at the Arthouse Hotel in inner-city Sydney some 18 months ago that Evan was first introduced to Dr Sketchy’s, its well-established branch there run by a woman called Jac Bowie, to whom he made himself known. He then set the wheels in motion for a Byron Bay branch – only to discover that someone else was attempting to do the same thing, namely Alison. It was only logical that they join forces and run it together.
These not-for-profit nights are definitely not serious, Evan assures, us and decidedly not pretentious. They’re for all ages and sexes. ‘As long as you can hold a pencil in one hand and a drink in the other’, he emphasises, ‘everyone is welcome.’ Held on Tuesday nights, they will run from 6.30pm for about two and a half hours and incorporate circus performances, burlesque, cabaret, prizes, ‘surreal glamour in a swine flu-free zone’. Cost will be $15 a head (please supply your own art materials) and really, it all sounds like simply too much fun! The first one will be today (Tuesday, June 16) and any further information may be obtained from Evan on 0410 501 762.

Being passionate about the secrets of marine biology As a kid, what did I learn about wild water? I knew my grandmother, a war refugee, loved a river called the Blue Danube, which was about waltzing. I also knew my mother, a refugee too, was terribly upset by another called the Mouldau, on an LP which sang dark and sad, all tied up with The War. Me, I knew a real stream down in the woods at the end of the street. It was quite polluted. But it was my secret. It had no name. The most amazing time of the year was when we went to the sea. We travelled by car for over twelve hours. There, cool and salty, was the Atlantic. It was full of things unlike any in our inland suburbia. Whatever it held, I loved. I wanted nothing more than to be in the sea, under it, on the edge of it. I dreamed of a house with an underground lounge with glass walls revealing the deep sea. Once, in class, my teacher finally got the rickety movie projector working and we watched a Disney film about water. I saw for the first time that people made careers of studying
the sea. Seventeen years passed before my dream came true and I was studying at a marine laboratory on the Pacific. Powerful, colourful men and women showed me intricacies of biology, and endlessly quizzed me. They harangued me about issues I never knew were important. Finally they insisted I investigate and tell them something. They set me off into the water. I was transformed. I shifted from being talked at about water to finding out for myself. So around here, how do people make this shift? There are plenty of televisions, so surely people are seeing those first inspirational film clips. Different waterways and the sea itself are all close enough to visit. And as for the teaching? At Hastings Point, youngsters as well as adults can come together at Seascape, with its Marine Environment Resource and Study Centre. This current location was opened in August 2008. Recently, this place also became the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest Water Watch Centre. Exactly what does all this mean? Seascape is a large room set
Seascapeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marine Environment Resource and Studio, Hastings Point
up by Ted Brambleby and Kerrie Trees, two passionate marine biologists, in cooperation with the North Star Holiday Resort. Books, displays and over two hundred aquatic specimens crowd the walls and shelves. Microscopes fill one corner. The main table has a television screen attached to its microscope so whatever Ted or Kerrie analyse can be easily seen in detail by a group of up to thirty.
Photos and maps of the immediate area outside Seascape show the soft and rocky shores, the mangroves and estuary, the wallum heathland and coastal forest. Dozens of creatures and plants from zones in these habitats are displayed. Each is carefully labelled with common and scientific names. These same habitats are dear to the 650 residents of Hastings Point, who have sued their own

council four times over the last eighteen months over development issues. The arguments rage about how such a small town can grow. Can it set its own pace or must it be pushed on by large building projects which may immediately double the population? Hopeful DAs have jumped ahead, cutting forests, infilling waterways and fouling local waters. While all this goes on, the Seascape Centre steadily hosts groups of students for three day adventure education packages. The Centre is already mostly booked by schools for weekdays a year in advance. Saturdays cater to community, diving and special interest groups. Everyone starts in the Centre, looking over exhibits with Ted and Kerrie. Then they walk or kayak, snorkel, scuba or use special mud skies to see for themselves. Depending on the location and theme, they are all â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;on assignmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Here is where the new Water Watch program will kick in. Tasks will include monitoring the different fresh and
marine waters, counting indicator animals living in water and assessing litter. Results will be posted online, making this site one of the 7,000 studied by 3,000 groups nationwide. True, the Hastings Point habitats are unprotected â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where is marine park legislation when you really need it? Yes, the land wars continue. But every few days, another lot of students and teachers head out with facts and experiences of their own. Another group can put fresh reality into their opinions. All a good start. But Kerrie looks up from the day-to-day demands to comment on the bigger picture. She has some perspective, being also secretary of the Marine Education Society of Australasia. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I just returned from a conference about the new national curriculum [for K-12]. Basically the curricula still supports field work/excursions, etcâ&#x20AC;Śbut it does not mention the marine environments at all. We have to hope teachers choose to incorporate the issues associated with these ecosystems into their subject content instead of it being a national objective to educate about the oceans.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; So is even learning about wild water to be disparaged and threatened these days? Arrgh! I grab my pen between my teeth and climb the rigging right up to the crowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nest. The devil with storms and darkness! There are beacons along this coast from Tweed to Byron to Ballina. Somehow, we will sail on! For sure, I grew up befriended by a nameless dying waterway. I was succoured by a sea whose fish bounties are now collapsed. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be damned if decay be the fate of our treasures here! Do we let ignorance be our currency today and the inheritance for our children?

The road, the track and travel in Australian literature The Penguin Book Of The Road Edited by Delia Falconer Christopher Hanley
Originally anthologies were a choice collection of passages from literature and especially poems. They evolved into collections of short fiction or poems and more recently a theme was added, I suspect by the marketing departments of publishing houses. I have always avoided themes. Fancy dress parties, themed weddings and especially themed holidays have been something to avoid and I had the same reaction when I was handed a copy of The Penguin Book of the Road edited by Delia Falconer. I was wrong. From the first paragraph of the first piece, which is a non-fiction extract from the book Things I Didn’t Know by Time art critic Robert Hughes, the standard of the work is very high. Hughes had a horrendous car accident with three young men who were very bent and speeding. The accident happened after a day of fishing for Hughes near Broome.
The anaesthetised narrative style that he uses to describe what can only have been one of life’s truly frightening experiences: waiting for hours to be cut from a car that has folded around you all the while inhaling petrol fumes and waiting for an explosion and incineration is perfect. Great writing is great writing and whether Hughes is writing about Goya or Barcelona or a car accident his prose is gripping. You obviously know the ending before you start reading but the way he tells his story is funny and dry and even a little enlightening as we listen to someone who you suspect is not naturally humble learn and then enunciate a few of life’s great lessons. Delia Falconer has chosen 28 other pieces for The Penguin Book of the Road including David Malouf ’s short story Lone Pine, which is the second last story in the collection. It is one of the best short stories I have read. It certainly connects strongly with the road theme and is a frightening and in your face look at travel and marriage. Choosing the stories for an
Delia Falconer: making excellent anthology choices
anthology is never easy. Australians have been writing about roads and tracks for most of our literary history and in our contemporary fiction the road and the road trip have become even more popular and frightening as a setting just as it has with our movies. Delia Falconer’s book also recognises and acknowledges the frightening place that the road and the track play in our early literature. Her choice of the wonderful Barbara Baynton story, A Dreamer, written in 1902, is evidence that we
have told stories about trips along bush paths as well as macadam roads for a long time and that some of our most confronting and chilling moments in fiction have been set on a bush track. For me a wonderful by-product of reading this collection was revisiting passages from novels I had not read for many years: novels like The Shiralee. Darcy Niland was Ruth Parks’s husband and a great writer. The Shiralee is his best novel and it has some of the best father-daughter dialogue I
have ever read in a novel. (Peter Finch nailed the character and the dialogue in the original movie version.) Falconer’s non-fiction choices are as strong as the fiction. The powerful autobiographical story Seventeenth Birthday written by Roberta Sykes is a violent but compelling story of a young woman raped after a local country dance. For a reason that will seem obvious ten lines into the story it is as relevant today as it was when written more than a decade ago. The Great Journey of Aboriginal Teenagers is another strong work of non-fiction transcribed from an interview with a young aboriginal man after he and his friends were captured by police in Western Australia after a long chase across most of the state. It is humorous and chilling at the same time. Anthologies, just like short story collections, have that great inbuilt advantage that if you don’t like a story you can just move on to the next one. Delia Falconer’s prudent selection process means that skipping is unnecessary.
Her own short story about Ned Kelly’s harlot, called The Republic of Love, as narrated by the ‘tart of Jerilderie’, is another powerful work, as is Tim Winton’s excerpt from Dirt Music, called North. You would think this Winton excerpt was commissioned especially for this anthology. One last thing: read Nullabor Honeymoon, written by one of Australia’s best writers, Dorothy Hewitt, author of the classic working class novel, Bobbin Up. This story is priceless and one suspects more a non-fiction piece about her own unconventional marriage than a work of fiction. It’s a wonderful tale about driving across Australia. The Penguin Book of the Road is a broad collection of great writing collated by a very good writer into a compilation that I suspect she very much enjoyed reading. She got it right and it’s a good read. ■ The Festival takes place at
Belongil Fields from August 7-9. Earlybird discount tickets available now from the website and Jetset, Byron Bay.

Lucie Thorneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest album Black Across The Field has been heralded by major reviewers across Australia as one of the best albums of the year. Noel Mengel of the Courier Mail says: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is music that can be tender and taut, full of the subtle nuances of real life as opposed to the black-and-white world of simple and pop. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ttough guitar and autumnal haunting slowautu nal shades, sha h rock, Neil Y Young-esque guitar mo ro llinesâ&#x20AC;Ś And right up front is a voice with a quality that keeps drawing the listener in. ner in n.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It was an recorded n album um m reco ord in just three days,, with ith h three thre ee people. Usually a solo recorder, olo re ecorde Lucie teamed up with Hamish i Stewart and David Symes to record at Sydneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Megaphon studio. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We recorded the guts of it in Sydney in July. I had planned to make the album at home, but through turn of events I hooked up with Hamish. We did a show at the Basement and got yarning after the show and he was super keen to be involved with my new album. So we spent a weekend in his shed with David Syme thinking about arrangements. I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t met Dave up until that wekend and I was reserved and I thought at the time I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether I wanted to work with these high flyers! But we had such a great weekend and it sat really well and I thought why not give it a crack and booked three days in the studio and got it down. When weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d done that I took it home and went through it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The process was very different for Lucie, who was used to the luxury of endless time for fiddling and tweaking her tracks. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I was out of my comfort zone, I had never worked with an engineer with a time frame. I thought, I know Hamish and Dave can nail it in one take, but can I? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I have always done these home recordings where I have layered it up one insturment at a time, but

having it captured and then being able to potter around and put in my guitar breaks was greatâ&#x20AC;Ś I got Chris Abrahams for some dubs, but I also ended up doing a lot of the work myself, I did that because I realised I knew what I wanted myself. Of course I am the guitarist in my band all the time, of course I can come. The danger of working at home is that there is no one to say, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a take, there is the potential to go a bit crazy and lose perspective.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an album that Thorne is immensely proud of. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I love all of it still, which is a good sign. Alice is a special favourite for me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I always love different songs for different reasons. One of the things I am most pleased with is that as an album itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much broader than any Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made before. The three of us were careful to treat each song independently and let it follow its own directions. For me it is about the pop song. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether it is a schizophrenic collection, the lyrics being primary and my voice being up front it gives it a through line with a variety of musical flavours.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lucie has been touring since March, promoting Black Across the Field. For her next few months of shows she picks up the guitar and takes to the stage solo. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All the songs started out being solo works, so they are complete with just me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great playing with the guys but solo shows can be a much more intense powerful thing, if it te really eally works work and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just you and the audience it itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really amazing experience. xperience. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just you you give everything hing tto the crowd. I can still manage to make a lot of racket with the electric guitar.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lucie Thorne is joined by support act M Jack Bee at the Mullumbimby Bowling Club on Wednesday. Doors open 7.30pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8pm start. Tickets $16 + bf â&#x20AC;&#x201C; available at All Music And Vision Byron Bay, Ballina and Lismore; Mullumbimby Book Store. Tix at the door ($16 flat).

BETTER DEAD THAN RED Tim Minchin sings: only a ginger can call another ginger: ginger’. He should know. He’s a redhead. Those pale skinned flame haired members of our community have suffered a form of unchecked bigotry since their gingery beans first emerged from the womb. Their persecution has gone largely unchecked. They won’t even end up with their own SBS documentary. To taunt someone for the colour of their
Huckleberry Swedes Take a soul singer like Marvin Gaye, send him to Neil Young’s farm for work experience, get him to jam with Levon Helm and the Band and then take him on a fishing trip with Paul Kelly and you’ll have an idea
skin is text book racism. To torture someone for the colour of their hair is good TV. The carrot topped amongst us have copped a hiding for as long as I can remember, but I believe it’s got worse. Ever since Summer Heights High hit our screens school children and adult fans alike have taken to calling our redheaded brothers and sisters: ‘Rangas’. Although no one, except makers of palm oil and fans of the
of the Huckleberry Swedes. Songs about the love of fishing, pies, and sweethearts, songs of protest, underdog anthems and melancholic musings baked in a crust of roots, rock, folk, soul, Australiana and Americana. They’re a band that asks questions about who we
Kit Kat would speak disparagingly of the orangutan, to be called a ‘Ranga’ is no compliment. It doesn’t make sense. We don’t call people with brown hair ‘Rillas’ or blondes ‘polars.’ Ranga is one of those words that sits neatly beside poofta or nigger. My teenage daughter had a hair colouring disaster that left her unexpectedly orange haired. I thought it was quite flattering. She thought it was social suicide and every day begged for a hair appointment, to bring an end the ranga taunts on the bus. And that was just from the driver. If that’s what it’s like for the fake redheads, then what must life be like when you’re dinky di ginger? Those sporting the scarlet skull need their own support groups to combat gingerism. There needs to
be legislation to protect this much maligned minority who occupy only 2-3% of the population. Being born with red hair is rare. Throughout history it has been prized, feared and ridiculed. Mary Magdalene was thought to have red hair, as were other scary types like vampires, Anne of Green Gables, Queen Elizabeth I and Nicole Kidman. Redheads are believed to be highly sexed, fiery tempered home wreckers. They are also, statistically the most successful amongst all the hair colours. Then why aren’t they held up as heros? Why aren’t people raiding the red hair dye from chemist shelves and making themselves a bit of imitation gingerbread? Instead brown and blonde haired, blue and brown eyed, white and
are, and what our place is in the land. Tuesday June 23 at the Buddha Bar. For more visit www.huckleberryswedes.com
brown skinned children unite in the mockery of the freckly ginger kid. You see redheads have less melanin, have whiter skin and are more freckly. It not only makes them an obvious target, it makes it impossible to hide. Does redhaired hatred echo the English distaste for Celts and Scots, the two most predominantly redhaired races? Has it got worse since colour TV? Like any form of bigotry, gingerism is pointless. The other day I saw two exquistely beautiful little girls. They wouldn’t have been more than three and five apiece. They had hair as orange as burnt honey. It hung in long silken ringlets down their backs, and in keeping with ginger mythology the small one was throwing a tantrum. I wondered at what point, this source of incredible
beauty would become the source of their shame. How old would they be when acne faced boys with long greasy fringes or bleach blonde girls with long tanned legs would first utter: ‘hey ranga’. I am not a redhead. I don’t know the pain. All I know is that redheads need their own Martin Luther King, a ginger guru (not Lindsay Lohan) to lead the way. In the Netherlands they actually have a two day festival called Redheadday where naturally redheaded people flock to the streets, celebrating their genetic uniqueness. Unfortunately only about five people ever turn up, the rest have been worn down by social stigma. Rangas of the world unite. Its time to call a stop, brush out the gingervitus and give the redheads a break. Red Power.

The latest Star Trek adventure could be called Star Trek, The Origins because it goes back to when the future Captain Kirk of the Starship Enterprise was actually born, a moment in space in which his father sacrificed himself for his crew as well as his wife and child. The film bristles with
energy and excitement, and you can practically sense the enthusiasm with which this film has been approached by everyone involved. The screenplay is imaginative and highly respectful of the many years of mythology attendant to the original Star Trek films; the performances are rock-solid across the board. This eye-popping, funny, and wonderfully entertaining film isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afraid to head off into exciting new frontiers. ~ Lounge Cinema

is mainstream cinema. Clive James holds that comedians who resort to the f-word are simply not funny, whereas Seth Rogan, the guru of crudity whose modus operandi is in the ascendancy and whose prints are all over this flick, has upped the ante in the anything goes stakes. For a new generation of comics the now utterly banal expletive is fucken here, fucken there and everyfuckenwhere, man. And the louder it is spoken the louder the laughter. A couple of fraus two rows down from me, pop culture vultures who would run a mile from this type of behaviour if it came close to them, ostentatiously cackled like kookaburras at every debauchery (like wannabe bad girls), but their voices sounded uncomfortably familiar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were they the same ones that so stridently called for garters to be made from Johnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guts? Is there no nexus between on-screen and off? Ribaldry is no new thing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; graffiti on the walls of Pompeii testifies to The Hangover that â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but that is has become Four blokes travel from LA to a staple of the romantic Las Vegas intent on having the comedy (or, in this case, the mother of all bucksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; nights. So boofheaded bromance) has well do they achieve this end had a dulling effect. Doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that they cannot remember a anybody miss the elegance thing that happened during and innuendo of Grant and the bacchanal. (Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been Hepburn?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s becomes apparent that, in their fast paced, brightly coloured, drug and alcohol induced haze, neatly plotted and features they performed a number of charismatic actors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the three outrageous, dangerous and guys are handsome (Bradley anti social acts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not the least Cooper), gross (Zach Galifiankis of which was the complete and gormless (Ed Helmes). trashing of their hotel suite.

It strains credibility that Pietroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work associates, dealing with a complicated merger, would visit him to do business al fresco, as does the deluded idea that the beautiful girl who walks her dog might be attracted to him (this being the Woody Allen coming out in Moretti â&#x20AC;&#x201C; why are elderly actors so ridiculously vain?). When Pietro finally does snap out of his mourning it is through a sexual encounter that is appreciably carnal. I was pleased for him. There is a bizarre Venice flashback that was lucky to survive the editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s razor and an exquisite palindrome, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;rats live on no evil starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which bears no resemblance to what it is meant to translate but is worth keeping in mind nonetheless.

The Byron Shire Echo June 16, 2009 25
Television Guide 1. Terminator 3 (NBN, Friday, 9.45pm) is worth watching for the crane chase scene. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downhill after that. 2. Not clear what motivated two fine actors, Robert De Niro and Sean Penn, to take part in a lucklustre remake of Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re No Angels (Ten, Saturday, midnight). Perhaps the cheques read better than the script. 3. No mystery in any actor wanting to work for director David Lynch. Mullholland Drive (NBN, Saturday, 11.20pm) may be the best movie this week.

Why isn’t the NSW Government properly funding our health service?
Alstonville
Cuts to health h l h services i are without ih doubt the number one concern Ballina Rous Mill that constituents raise with me and I continue to lobby the NSW Wardell Government to give the North Coast Area Health Service the extra $54-million it is entitled to each year under the NSW Government’s Inside our own Resource Distribution Formula Ballina Electorate: (RDF). Our Health Service In March I raised concerns about the North Coast Cancer Centre doctor shortages in Ballina, Byron Bay and Mullumbimby Hospitals and the removal of the mobile Tropical Horticulture Centre Breast Screen service in those same three communities. I have also been contacted by concerned members of the Bullying community who informed me that the Nexus Centre in Ballina, Sports fields for Bangalow a service providing rehabilitation for people living with mental illness, has been cut back from five days a week to two days a Bypass updates week. Bush regeneration Doctors and other medical staff are also in contact with me on a Athletes, coaches & officials regular basis. They are demoralised, overworked and tired. Like me, they are concerned about the identified loss of 400 jobs in Small business problems the North Coast Area Health Service. Mobile Breast Screen Vans They want to help people - to treat them and make them better. They do not want to be constantly worried about the next round Surf Lifesaving Clubs of job cuts and whether adequate professional staff are available to look after patients.
www.donpage.com.au www.echo.net.au
The Labor Government Th State S L b G iis running its hospitals with the focus on the bottom line rather than looking after patient care. The medical staff who have contacted me are also concerned about the “surge bed” system. They say it is not working. The program involves keeping a certain number of beds in a hospital closed until they are needed. But when the “surge” occurs no extra staff are available to look after the additional patients. Nurse numbers are at the bare minimum so there is no backup when unpredicted surges occur. Doctors are tired of having to justify the lack of resources to patients and their families. If the NSW Labor Government gave the North Coast Area Health Service the $54-million it is entitled to under the RDF it would at least be able to start giving North Coast residents the care and services they are entitled to. The most recent announcement that 100 jobs are to go includes front-line nursing positions, both casual and permanent parttime. Despite repeated assurances that front-line services would be unaffected by the axing of 400 jobs in the NCAHS, this latest announcement proves those assurances are hollow indeed. These latest cuts have to have an impact on patient care.

The
COASTAL CONNECTION Small business problems and how to ďŹ x them I believe supporting small business is critical to maintaining employment at a time when NSW has the second highest unemployment rate in Australia behind Tasmania at 6%. In a recent speech to the NSW Parliament I identiďŹ ed some key facts the NSW Labor Government should take on board. They included: F :1 -@>490>> 74<@4/,?4:9> 49 @>?=,74, ,=0 :..@==492 49 "'+ 4 0 more liquidations are occurring in NSW than the rest of Australia put together). F (30 &0>0=A0 ,96 >,D> ?30 70A07 :1 -,/ 7:,9> 49 ?30 -@>490>> >0.?:= 4> six times higher than the home mortgage sector. F ' Egures show 22,000 people left NSW for Queensland last year, many of them small business people, because of the more business friendly environment in Queensland. F (30 9/0;09/09? $=4.492 ,9/ &02@7,?:=D (=4-@9,7 $ &( 3,> recommended a 20% hike in electricity prices. F ..:=/492 ?: ?30 '09>4> @>490>> '@=A0D ?30 "'+ ,-:= :A0=9809? is regarded as the least small business-friendly Government in Australia. There are 443,000 small businesses in NSW and if each business employed just one more person 443,000 new jobs would be created. Surveys of the small business community show the sector believes taxes are too high in NSW compared to other states and there is too much red tape. I believe the NSW Government should do the following things: F 880/4,?07D =@70 :@? ?30
070.?=4.4?D ;=4.0 3460 ,> >8,77 ,9/ medium businesses cannot afford it.

F '0? >;0.4Ec targets for removing unnecessary red tape and report progress to Parliament each year in a transparent manner. NSW has the second highest unemployment rate, the highest taxation rate and one of the lowest growth rates in Australia. Not only are the policies of the NSW Labor Government a problem for employment, but as the largest state in Australia, NSW is dragging down the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance.
Mobile Breast Screen Vans another casualty of NSW Labor Government I was concerned to hear the NSW Government has discontinued its mobile breast screen van services to Ballina and Byron Bay. I ďŹ nd it hard to believe that the NSW Labor Government is reducing access to preventative measures such as mammograms to an area that has an ageing population and one of the highest cancer rates in NSW. The advice I have been given is that due to the installation of a ďŹ xed unit at Tweed Hospital, and an existing unit at Lismore Base Hospital, Ballina and Byron Bay residents are now expected to travel to either destination for a mammogram. The mobile van had been visiting Ballina and Byron Bay on an annual basis prior to June 2008. One in nine NSW women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, with only about 60% of women having their disease localised at diagnosis. If the cancer is found while still localised to the breast, women have a 97% chance of surviving another ďŹ ve years and many will make a full recovery. The loss of this important cancer detection service will result in fewer women accessing mammograms. The mobile breast screen van services that visited Byron Bay and Ballina provided convenient access to mammograms, allowing women to use the service during their lunch hours or when the children were at school. It is widely acknowledged by health professionals that early detection is the key to successful outcomes in the diagnosis of cancer. There is now only one van serving the area between Port Macquarie and Tweed Heads. The NSW Labor Government is reducing health services in regional areas at a frightening rate.

brought her and husband Brad up to Brisbane in 1996 to work in the industry. Paulette soon found herself diverting, opening up a business in Oxford Street, Bulimba, which sold gelati, pastries and flowers. (She is also a trained florist.) As far as the gelati went, she and Brad took themselves off to Sydney to learn the art from John Crowl, a gelato-maker. Back in Bulimba Paulette, a self-professed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sweet toothâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, taught herself how to make cakes. Three years ago the couple, who had long been coming to Byron Bay so Brad could surf, made the move here. Paulette knew what she wanted: to open an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bohemiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has just turned one year old. affordable place where everyone would On a busy strip in Byron Bay, it has been feel comfortable and unthreatened, a success from the very beginning.

It was that, in fact, which When Paulette employed chefs for her new cafe â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bohemiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, she assumed they would all be able to whip up cakes with ease. It came as a complete surprise when the reverse proved true, so she found herself having to do it. Fortunately one of the chefs, Nigel, began to enjoy the process, so much so that he has now become her master pastry chef and responsible for most of the sweet creations in the cafe. (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all that necessary precision â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the weighing and measuring â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with which many chefs cannot be bothered...)

sitting there with a pretty floral pot of tea on a tray and a slice of cake, content to watch the passing parade. Just as comfortable as the groups of young kids spilling out on the pavement punching out text messages over outsized bowls of salad or a towering burger. Portions are huge. There are at least 12 different types of muffins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including Mars Bar, Tim Tam, Malteser and Banana ones with a soft caramel filling. Paulette guesses that between 70 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 100 muffins are sold everyday, the biggest seller being the White Chocolate-Raspberry one. (She tried a low-fat version some time ago, but no one was interested!) Paulette calls herself the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;designerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; whereas Nigel is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;executionerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;: his Ferrero Profiterole Cake is one of the most popular ones in the cafe. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost impossible for me to choose a slice, but I eventually settle for a Teaser Brownie and a Raspberry and White Chocolate Brownie. They weigh a ton, which presumably I will once Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve soldiered my way grimly through them. All in the interests of research, naturally. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Bohemiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is at 1/95 Jonson St., Byron Bay (fatteningly below the Echo office).

Here is a wonderful winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekend idea next time you need one. On Saturday morning pack up the car, throw in an esky and head north about four hours until you reach the Granite Belt. Considered Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wine capital, it is an area of the Great Dividing Range in south-east Queensland whose centre is the town of Stanthorpe. You can stop off en route at Bald Rock National Park and work up an appetite by climbing Bald Rock itself, a spectacular structure 200 metres high and the largest granite monolith in the country. Then itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to take advantage of the autumn/winter harvest and load up with apples (the area produces virtually all of Queenslandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $40 million apple crop), pears, figs, wine and table grapes, olives, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, leeks, mushrooms, zucchini and more. There are over 50 wineries, so plenty of tasting may be done along the way. Book in to one of the many comfy accommodations with open fireplaces, stock up on heavenly cheeses and antipasti from the very good deli in Stanthorpe and stay in for a cosy self-catered night. The next day, head off on the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nude Food Granite Belt Food Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which constitutes a succession of tearooms, galleries, market gardens, wineries, farmhouse cheese factories, cafes, butcheries, restaurants, juice and cider factories, fudge cottages, olive, vinegar and verjus outlets and vineyards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not to mention roadside market stalls. On second thoughts, bring two cars. For further information go to www.granitebeltwinecountry.com.au
Several notches higher are the Sommelier Weekends on Bedarra Island, planned for August, September and October. Bedarra ia an exclusive tropical hideaway in the Great Barrier Reef just off the coast of Cairns and there are just 16 villas, all hidden in the rainforest, accommodating only 32 guests. The Voyages Hotel & Resorts group is hosting a series of ritzy champagne/wine and degustation weekends whose price is included in the cost of a two-night stay, kicking off with Champagne Louis Roederer and Katnook Estate wines (Aug.14 and 15). The following month will showcase Bollinger Champagne, Croser sparkling wines and Petaluma wines (Sept. 18 and 19) and wind up with Domaine Chandon sparkling and still wines (Oct. 16 and 17). Specially created 7-course degustation menus will accompany the wines and champagnes, winemakers will be on hand to lead discussions and tasting notes will be provided. Unabashed luxury and extravagance to be sure in these recessive times â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but a great idea for a truly special epicurean treat. The twonight stay starts from $3,400 per room which, apart from the Sommelier events, includes all meals, alcohol and gourmet picnic hampers as well as activities such as snorkelling and motorised dinghies.

The Mullum to Bruns crew will be at this weekend’s Mullumbimby market and will be available to provide event information and accept entries. This year the Mullum to Bruns will be fundraising for the Brunswick Valley Rescue Squad and Oxfam Australia, specifically targeting the Indigenous Australia projects, as described on the Oxfam website, but the event is now also associated with Everyday Hero fundraising program which creates the opportunity for every participant to do their own fundraising for the charity of their choice.
Local groups are also showing their support by getting behind the event. The Mullumbimby Uniting Church has put up its hand to help by changing the time of its usual Sunday service to cater for members who would like to either participate as a team or help as volunteers on the event day. The church service will be held at 7.30am on Sunday August 16.

Rhinos massacred under the stars John Campbell
The Mullumbimby Giants have moved to third place on the NRRRL ladder (see Results) with an emphatic 52-4 victory over the Grafton Rhinos at Les Donnelly Field on Saturday evening. Making an admirable contribution in the campaign to lower greenhouse emissions, management left it until night’s mantle was falling before turning on the floodlights, meaning that the players were roaming in the gloaming during the opening exchanges. Even then, though, it was plain to see that the Rhinos would struggle to stay in touch with the home side – indeed, ten minutes had passed before
they managed to lumber into the Giants’ half. The Grafton outfit attacked with not much finesse and Mullum were workmanlike rather than scintillating in asserting themselves. But they took it up a gear after full-back Tim Abbott, having spectacularly defused a bomb, was felled by a high shot for his trouble. On the back of the penalty, the Giants raided deep into the Rhinos’ territory before half Chase Nelson threw a long cut-out pass to centre Jay Hampson who off-loaded to second-rower Luke Woods for the try. Further four pointers to prop Dan Molenaar, Jason Willis and Abbott had the visitors buried by oranges.
The trusty handicam couldn’t hack to low light of the A Grader’s, but captured the reserves – No way through for Bernard Browning in the Mullum reggies’ 48-6 caning of the Grafton Rhinos
Nelson was heavily involved in most of what was going on – his deft pass to put lock Andrew Moroney through
the gap that led to Abbott’s try was a pearler and his judicious kicking, enhanced by his teammates’ consistently hard

Owen Wright Wins Sri Lankan Airlines Pro Lennox Head surfer Owen Wright has won the 10th annual Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) six star PRIME rated World Qualifying Series (WQS) Sri Lankan Airlines Pro in the Maldives. It was a monumental high scoring final, described by numerous ASP officials at this event as the greatest final they have ever seen held in outstanding 4 to 5 feet (1.5m) surf at Pasta Point. This final had everything with both surfers forcing each other to new heights combining superb power surfing with new age aerial moves. The final scores saw Owen Wright on 19.23 out of a possible 20 to Gudauskas on 18.93. Wright’s second ride in the final of 9.83 was decisive, pulling two major aerial manoeuvres along with a series of fully powered on face vertical turns. While that wave opened up a serious lead, Gudauskas challenged hard on his second ride driving through a series of powerful top to bottom turns but just fractionally mistimed his final floating re-entry and fell. The wave was still awarded an outstanding 8.94, many believed had he landed that final turn it would have been his second perfect 10 point ride for the event. Wright capitalised mid final with another outstanding 9.4 ride, again inclusive of aerial moves and Gudauskas suddenly found himself in an unlikely combination of scores required situation. www.echo.net.au

Gudauskas, who earlier in this event had scored a perfect ten point ride utilizing the new age rodeo clown move, refused to concede the final and began to focus on going for another perfect 10 by attempting some massive rodeo clowns (aerial 540 degree reverse flips), which he went perilously close to landing. Inside the final five minutes, Gudauskas found his final excellent wave, unleashed three incredible top to bottom powered turns, lined up the final section, launched and landed another amazing aerial flip to take a perfect 10 points. Still in second place and requiring a 9.24 to win, time ran out for Gudauskas and Wright was the deserving winner of this epic battle. ‘That was the best final I have ever experienced,’ said Wright after his win. ‘I knew Pat was capable of scoring 9 to 10 point rides and before the final I knew I’d have to pull multiple aerials to win - my strategy was at least two
serious aerials on the waves and a lot of powerful surfing in between the aerials and that’s exactly how it played out.’ Owen Wright is now number one rated surfer on the ASP World Qualifying Series and the exciting 19 year old has already reassessed his goals for the season. ‘At the start of the year I was focusing on winning the Pro Junior season in Australia and doing a few WQS events to get
the experience but now I’m definitely looking to win the WQS and qualify for the ASP World Tour.’ ASP world tour head judge Perry Hatchet firmly placed this final within the top five finals he had ever witnessed while many others declared it the best final they had witnessed. The entire event, which created history earlier when Pat Gudauskas delivered the first
chase, never failed to improve the Giants’ position. Hampson was value adding to every try with his dead-eye Dick conversions, but he can count himself lucky to have had his third goal registered on the score sheet. To everyone standing behind him, it appeared to swing away from the right hand upright, but the touchies, craning their necks as the ball soared into the black void, can be forgiven if they got it wrong, for the blonde number three hoiks the ball as high as any goalkicker past or present. Mullum ran away with it in the second forty, with tries to Nelson, the evergreen Glen Godbee, hooker Scott Gibson and a typically pugnacious Mo-
roney. To close proceedings, the spindly-legged number five, Chad Grant, gathered a Hampson chip to plant one down in the corner. When they put their minds to it, the Giants are capable of producing inventive, quicksilver footy that is a treat to watch, and they do it with a palpable sense of team spirit. When Godbee, sent haring down the right flank by centre Simon Baines, grubbered with Pythagorean precision for Scott to win the race for the ball and register a rare try the whole joint went up. Earlier, the reserves continued their unbeaten run, with a 48-6 win that featured four tries to the ranga on the wing, Mitch Lambert.

David Smerdon has become the fourth Australian in history to earn the Grandmaster title. Although Smerdon had secured the three world class performances required to earn the title almost two years ago, he had been unable to push his world ranking above the level required for the title to be confirmed.

A lean 2008 seemed to confirm Yuan. A year later Smerdon was those fears, but Smerdon’s win of the powerful Queenstown Open undefeated in the World U/16 in January gave new hope that Championships in Spain in 2000 the 24-year-old may not have lost and then, acting as both player and coach, he took his high school, his mojo. Sure enough, he performed Anglican Church Grammar, to solidly in the 2009 Doeberl Cup, the New York final of the World finishing half a point behind the Schools Championships.

In One Of Your Moods, before you drive your supporters away find something to celebrate (anything will do) with those who strengthen your sense of belonging and can tease out your playfulness. LEO: This week’s jungle could test your charismatic majesties’ ability to gracefully handle resentments or projections aimed at you. Refusing to react will demonstrate your mature leadership (think alpha-Leo Barak Obama), and with the application of enough charm could even turn opposition into willing cooperation. VIRGO: Mercury retro’s over but this week Murphy’s retrograde, with people tending to exaggerate or overestimate what they’re offering. So don’t rely too much on promises – double check all information and arrangements. Spend time with smart, charming, light hearted people as opposed to gloom and doomsters.

Mayor Jan Barham is taking no chances with her cherished planned retreat policy. At least that’s the view of John Vaughan, Belongil champion and Council baiter, who points out that Jan personally appointed four stalwart allies to the Environmental (Coastal and Estuary) Project Reference Group last month, instead of allowing the selection of community representatives to be made under delegated authority. ■ ■ ■ ■
Mind you, the mayor gets her share of bureaucratic frustration. She is particularly angry that deep-pocketed companies get away with ignoring planning regulations. In the Council meeting last week she said compliance officers go ‘chasing hippies in the hills over an extra shack in the paddock while we let Woolworths bully us.’ She identified two companies advertising illegal accommodation on the internet and a third claiming educational status while selling off units. And that’s not to mention landholders giving out 150-year leases in order to make de facto subdivisions! Cr Tucker was alarmed at the breach of decorum in naming actual businesses as culprits, but declined to support her notice of motion on the grounds that it would create more work for the staff. So that’s OK then, Ross.
You know how it goes. You are driving merrily along in the middle of the night. Suddenly there’s a speed bump and a thongstrap round the accelerator situation, a tree looms up, a quick yank of the steering wheel and hello Belongil Creek…
Bosca. Never mind that hospitals are collapsing all over the state, you can now ring the number on the fridge magnet any time of the day and consult a trained nurse about your ailment. It is amazing that Della Bosca found the time to conceive or approve this new program. In the slow and inexorable implosion of the NSW government he spends most of his energy plotting against the premier, who, when he started his political career, made the mistake of choosing to join the wrong faction. Rest assured that the victorious candidate finally presiding over the smoking ruins will be one of Della Bosca’s creatures.
