Splendour brings out the animals Sky’s the limit in rocket

celebration at Brunswick Story & photo Eve Jeffery

It has been 40 years since Neil Armstrong took ‘a giant leap for mankind’. A lesser known fact but possibly a more significant event is memorialised this year, the International Year of Astronomy, which is the 400th anniversary of the first recorded astronomical observations with a telescope by Galileo Galilei. Starry Night Planetarium’s ‘Cosmic Couple’ Marie Whealing and Phil-

ip Hood are so excited about these spacey anniversaries that they took a few hours on Sunday afternoon to celebrate, by letting fly at Banner Park in Brunswick Heads. The couple treated kids small and big to a burst of rocket launches from air and water powered units, to a finale of gun powder powered rockets that soared up to 200 metres into the sky before parachuting back to terra firma. ‘We are celebrating the anniversary continued on page 2

Council unloads CDO at $1.6m loss Byron Shire Council has sold an underperforming Collateralised Debt Obligation (CDO) investment – of the type which helped bring chaos to global financial markets. According to Byron Shire Council’s general manager Graeme Faulkner, the decision was made after a thorough independent financial assessment of Council’s investments. Byron Shire Council held five CDO investments and all were recently ‘stress tested’ by Council’s independent investment advisor Denison Financial Advisory Pty Ltd. ‘The Sceptre CDO investment did not pass the test and consequently sold for a return of 18.2 cents in the dollar. This is approximately $365,000 out of the original $2 million investment,’ Mr Faulkner said in a press release last week.

‘The challenge we faced was when to sell a “non-performing� investment and this had to be balanced against maximising a sell price. This is not easy in during a global financial crisis. The alternative was to sit on the Sceptre investment and risk a high probability of the investment defaulting and zero return.’ Council’s investment portfolio is currently valued at approximately $50 million. The portfolio includes cash, term deposits, managed funds, longer term investments and high yield credit, a portion of which has become known as CDOs. Mr Faulkner said the investments were made in accordance with guidelines issued by the Minister for Local Government and were revised as part of Council’s Internal Audit Committee recommendation after consulta-

tion with Denison’s in March of this year. According to Denison Financial Advisory, ‘the CDOs held are better “vintages� than the bulk of the Local Government CDO investments, and have performed better than those of their peer group’. ‘The remaining four CDO investments are currently rated as investment grade and there is no need for them to be sold,’ Mr Faulkner said. The Denison Financial Advisory report was presented to Council’s Internal Audit Committee and a copy can be viewed at www.byron.nsw.gov. au/committees/internal-audit-committee.

Banana field day A field day addressing soil conservation on steep banana lands will be held on the property of Garry Fetherston at Montecollum on Wednesday July 29 from 10am till noon. The day will be an informal ‘farm walk’ looking at some recent works on Garry’s property that demonstrate good practice in controlling surface runoff over the plantation, considered essential in sustaining the plantation’s soil resource in hostile conditions of steep slopes and high rainfall. The field day will also focus

on the value of ground cover in protecting the soil surface and providing long term soil health benefits. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet recently appointed District Horticulture Officer for NSW Dept. Primary Industry, Jeremy Bright. Enquiries to Gerry Ryan, Northern Rivers Catchment Management Authority, 66 270 125, gerry.ryan@cma.nsw.gov. au, or Northern Rivers CMA, Alstonville Office, on 66 270 170, margaret.campton-jones@ cma.nsw.gov.au.

Kayak firm helps out marine friends Byron Bay’s GoSea Kayak is now donating money from every kayak paddle to two groups that fight to save our marine friends. One dollar from every customer who comes out for a paddle on their sea kayak tours in Byron Bay will go to whale and dolphin conservation. The money will be donated to Southern Cross University’s Whale Research Centre and the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. GoSea Kayak is donating this money on an ongoing basis to help protect the future of the marine environment which plays such a critical role for Byron Bay’s tourism industry. GoSea Kayak works closely with Dr Liz Hawkins from Whale Research Centre, who on the Byron Bay dolphin popthe Southern Cross University is conducting ongoing research ulation.

GoSea Kayak part-owner, Mitchell Phillips, said, ‘Liz will paddle occasionally with us as a guest expert on our tours and advise us on Byron’s resident dolphin group. She is a great asset, helping us to provide a sustainable, low-impact activity in the Cape Byron Marine Park.’ The next scheduled paddle with Dr Liz Hawkins is this Sunday, July 26. Call 0416 222 344 to book this trip. During whale season GoSea kayakers are thrilled by the numbers of whales resting and playing in the calmer waters of Byron Bay, which is an important resting ground for whales, particularly mothers and calves, during their southern migration.

PCOs enjoy the trade show treatment at Byron Bay Story & photo Victoria Cosford

The Byron at Byron Resort recently played host to a special two-day event entitled Byron Bay Familiarisation, flying twelve of Australia’s largest Professional Conference Organisers (PCOs) into the region to attend it. According to Russell Mills, CEO of Northern Rivers Tourism, ‘This... is a great example of how the local industry is working cooperatively to attract new markets at a time when it is most needed...’ With PCOs always looking for new destinations to direct their conference business, this initiative was a comprehensive attempt at showcasing the Byron Shire and what it could offer to visitors. To that end, a mini tradeshow was held on the second day in the conference rooms, with fifteen local operators on hand, including Byron Farmers Market, Vision

The down-on-the-farm experience was hands-on for the schoolchildren, as Lynne Wolf showed them how to pick carrots Story & photo Eve Jeffery

Fifty K-2 students from the Brunswick Heads Public School visited the Organics Fresh and Wild farm in Tyagarah recently. Organics Fresh and Wild is a certified organic farm run by Helen and Robin Wolf – the farm is the Wolf ’s sole source of income, with much of the produce being sold at the Byron Bay Farmers Market. The couple’s daughter Lynne assists in day-to-day work on the farm and runs the Organ-

ics Fresh and Wild stand at the New Brighton Farmer’s Market on Tuesday mornings. The visit to the farm was prompted when one of the Brunswick teachers asked about sustainable farming when he was visiting the Farmer’s Market, which is right up the Wolf ’s alley – Lynne is very keen to promote local farming and sustainable and organic land use in the shire. During their visit to the farm the children learned about the composting process and had a hands-on experience of the

worms in the worm farm, the seedlings in the nursery and the harvest as they pulled carrots and radishes from the field and fed the carrot tops to the horse. After washing and munching their carrots they cooled off in the cool store and had a delicious organic apple to take home. Lynne is keen to form educational partnerships with schools in the Northern Rivers and the government is currently making funding available for such partnerships under the Schools First Award funding

program. ‘We would be happy to work with schools to put together an application for funding,’ said Lynne. ‘I believe that educating children in where their food comes from and how it is grown is not only an important part of their general knowledge now, but may spark an interest in organic food and its production which will be beneficial to them and the environment in the future.’ For more information about the Schools First program website www.schoolsfirst.edu.au.

Probably better known for his iconic images of cetaceans at play, Byron photographer John D’Errey has lately been pointing his lens in the direction of couples on the day of their betrothal. To promote this he set up a photo with his muse and bride, journalist Elloise Farrow-Smith. He entered the picture in

the Australian Professional Photographers Awards, and it won the silver prize in the self commissioned section. Mr D’Errey is currently putting the finishing touches to a high quality coffee table book on Byron Bay for release shortly. Photo Jeff ‘Always The Teasmaid’ Dawson.

‘Biggest little Tower in Australia’ for Mullum? Hans Lovejoy

The iconic view to Mount Chincogan as you drive into Mullumbimby will soon be obscured by a Optus mobile phone tower, according to Laurel Avenue residents. With only eight working days to form any objection, they also are concerned that the tower’s DA has been submitted without due community consultation. ‘Residents on the north side of Laurel Avenue received notification of the DA application on Friday July 17,’ says Bruce Johnston, a resident of Laurel Avenue. ‘No notification has been given to any other residents or, from our knowledge, to those attending the primary school in the immediate precinct.’ The DA information for its construction at 1862 Coola-

mon Scenic Drive is published in our DA Watch in this week’s Echo. Another resident, Sue Davidson, also agrees that there is little time to lodge any objections. ‘Council have sent a letter to residents only on that side of the road, and the letter only arrived on Friday saying the tower was to be constructed next week. ‘It was the middle of the school holidays and several residents were away. There is no time to rally around the neighbourhood for ideas about what to do to stop it.’ A 20 metre Optus Mobile Phone Base Station dominating the view is a major concern, says Mr Johnston. ‘As residents we are not only concerned with the aesthetic devaluation of our beautiful view, but there are many health issues related

to emissions from the tower for those in the immediate area. We hope all who read this will express their concerns to Council to give us more time to research and lodge our objections.’ According to general manager Graeme Faulkner, the Optus telecommunications tower development application is on exhibition in accordance with the current Development Control Plan (DCP). ‘Under the DCP, the development application must have

a sign erected on the land, be advertised in the newspaper, a letter sent to adjoining landowners and be placed on exhibition for 14 days. The development application can be viewed at Council’s Mullumbimby administration building. ‘Following the exhibition period, the submissions will be assessed and presented to Council,’ Mr Faulkner said. Optus did not respond to The Echo’s phone call prior to going to press. Submissions for the DA close July 29.

Aged care symposium How to best tailor aged care and disability services is the focus of a two-day symposium being held in Coffs Harbour in September. The symposium, an initiative of Southern Cross University’s Aged Services

A summer’s tale on a wintry night

ACON runs workshops for lesbians Establishing and maintaining healthy and safe relationships is the focus of a new series of workshops being offered to lesbians in the Northern Rivers. ACON, the leading health promotion agency for NSW’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, is organising the eight week program in partnership with the Northern Rivers Women and Children’s Services (NORWACS). Designed specifically to meet the needs of local lesbians, the workshops will provide participants with a unique

learning opportunity covering topics such as communication, coming out, homophobia and intimacy. Held in a safe and supportive environment, the program will include a range of activities, as well as discussion and information sharing. The workshops, which are open to couples and singles, begin at 5:15pm on Tuesday July 21 and then continue every following Tuesday for the next seven weeks. Light refreshments will be served at each workshop and assistance with transport is available.

ACON Lesbian Health Project Worker Amber McBride says ACON’s Northern Rivers branch is committed to providing programs for local lesbians that build resilience, increase social inclusion and provide opportunities to learn new skills. ‘The topics and activities we’re offering through this program were specifically requested by Northern Rivers women.’ For more information or to book a place, contact Amber McBride on 6622 1555 or northernrivers@acon.org.au.

Sitting at Far Out East Productions’ presentation of Paul Davies’ original script On Shifting Sandshoes, a revelation about theatre hits me. It’s so much work. Cast and crew have been at it for the past few months, learning lines, rehearsing on stage antics, rigging lights, designing sets and most of all running and running the show until conversation becomes natural and relationships start to bounce from the page. I feel a pang of guilt. As a comedian I am lit by one spot, and speak to an audience about observations from my life. It’s effort neutral. These guys have been working their butts off and with another four shows next week, it doesn’t look like they’ll be relaxing any time soon. On Shifting Sandshoes is the first play to be staged at the newly revamped Mullumbimby Civic Hall. As a local resident it’s a wonderful thing to be able to stroll down the street to my local hall for a theatrical experience. The six cast members achieve an impressive onstage cohesion with performances bought to the boil by the careful direction of Richard Vinycomb. Vinycomb’s decision to stage the play in the audience and on the proscenium stage was a clever one, as much of the action would have been lost if it had been on stage alone. Set on Stradbroke Island in

the late eighties, the play holds up well. Among a group of well-established friends Craig Hearps plays the Melbournian, perhaps the most well-drawn character in the piece. Neurotic, uncomfortable and more suited to pursuits academic than physical, his performance is a highlight of the show, bringing constant humour to the fated camping trip. Benhur Helwend plays Raoul, a treat in his lime green budgie smugglers. I was nervous for much of the play that as the campers became famished they would resort to cannibalism and eat the only gay character, a homage to a film Eating Raoul. Fortunately it never happened. Instead the play climaxes with a nod to Lord of the Flies and Apocalypse Now, cast members tripping on mushrooms and Raoul fronting up near naked and delirious, replete with a koala shish kebab. It was my favourite moment of the play, the actor achieving a darkly humorous snap. The performances are enthusiastic and tend towards the cartoon rather than the naturalistic. As a Queensland developer Max Donati is lovably repulsive. I felt he could have been fatter. Mandy Morris is the girl who has followed her dreams and become a singer of feminist folk. For all the humour of the songs Morris actually has a very nice voice. Sally Packshaw is larger than life as the wife of Donati’s de-

veloper. A natural ham, Packshaw’s timing is excellent and her wardrobe is astounding, although I felt her character needed to be costumed more in keeping with the gold jewellery leopardskin tight white-panted big-haired uniform we associate with the Goldie and less like Endora from Bewitched. Lisa Apostolides is Di the robust and exercise-obsessed school teacher which she plays with enthusiasm. I enjoyed the play, found myself having a chuckle throughout. The chuckles could have been translated to belly laughs with an increase in dialogue pace. I’m a fan of one character’s dialogue clipping the heels of the next as a device to build energy to fever pitch. For a first time offering On Shifting Sands is a well realised piece, thoughtfully staged with set design by local artist Suvira McDonald, who successfully recreates an ad hoc campsite. The island feel is strengthened with pre-show music by the Blackbirds and Ben on uke at scene changes. It’s bedroom farce meets Carry On Camping. With four more shows, do your bit and support local theatre. Wednesday to Saturday at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall. Tix are $55/$48 and include a three course meal. Tickets at All Music & Vision, Byron, Lismore and Ballina, Barebones Bangalow and Mullumbimby Bookshop.

Participate in National Tree Day: Rainforest Rescue Rainforest Rescue is calling on Byron Shire residents to get growing on National Tree Day by helping to plant another 500 native rainforest plants. The local National Tree Day event is taking place on Sunday August 2 at Crystal Castle at 81 Monet Drive, Montecollum. Activities start from 10am and all residents are invited to volunteer for a few hours by planting, watering and mulching the plants. ‘We held our first National Tree Day event in 1999 and since then we’ve planted over 100,000 trees,’ said Kelvin Davies of Rainforest Rescue. ‘The trees have been planted on farms and rural properties and also in partnership with other community groups in and around Byron Bay and Mullumbimby. ‘Three years ago we decid-

The Brunswick Heads Community Activities Directory has everything from Adult Education and AFL to Majong and Yachting and Yoga and was launched last week by Byron Shire Councillor Diane Woods. The directory, which has taken nearly a year to put together, has been compiled as a resource for locals and new residents moving into the area and as a comprehensive guide for visitors to the variety of activities, community groups and venues available close to Brunswick Heads. Countless hours were put in by Visitor Centre Manager, Shannon Dowsling, and the volunteer team, collecting and updating the contact details for the content as the information changes from year to year and 3,000 copies were printed by local printers Print Rescue. Activities are listed in alphabetical order with a separate section for kids recreational, educational and support activities. Fifty-six community, local interest and support groups

It’s not only beer drinkers who are made happy by local brewing company Stone& Wood. A herd of Federal cows has been benefiting from the spent grain since brewing began in November last year. This micro or ‘craft’ brewery, operating out at the Byron Arts & Industry Park, makes two types of beer only, a lager and an ale, in line with its philosophy of taking things slowly and keeping them simple. The high grade malted barley and wheat

they use, once their flavour and starches have been extracted, is set aside as a nutritious addition to stock feed. Co-founder Brad Rogers, a qualified wine-maker whose passion for beer translated into a profession about 15 years ago, talks about the importance of sourcing the right ingredients as it is those which ‘guide your style of beer’. In the clean and lofty space which constitutes the brewery the towering tanks, custom-made in Canada, gleam in shafts of morning sun.

‘Craft beer’, Brad explains, ‘is all about attention to detail.’ The two types of beer – no preservatives or additives – are available as draught or ‘packaged’ in the unmistakeable green bottles whose simple labels are rapidly becoming a familiar sight; according to Brad, the local community has been ‘amazing’ in the way it has embraced the beer. The brewery’s production volumes are in fact growing so steadily that two new fermenters have been ordered to cope

with increasing demand for the beer. Around three tonnes of spent grain is turned out every month. According to Greg Hunter, owner of the 50 head of Angus cattle out at Federal, it is an excellent supplement to their feed. ‘It’s like giving them a real treat’, he says, ‘ They love it.’ Stone&Wood welcome anyone interested in looking at the brewing process.

New Bunchy Top project begins A new three year national project to begin the elimination of the Bunchy Top virus in the subtropical banana industry began on July 1, as the first stage towards the complete eradication of the virus in Australia. The project is being funded by the national banana industry levy which is managed by Horticulture Australia Limited, with matched funding from

the Australian government. The program will utilise aerial surveillance to find possibly infected plants in scrub or forest areas. By using GPS, the sites can be plotted and then accessed on the ground to destroy the plants. Backyard and neglected feral banana plants have been a source of infection in the past and these will be targeted in the program. www.echo.net.au

Grim prospects in Afghanistan Volume 24 #07

July 21, 2009

Trouble with China The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is prepared to use its extraordinary power at will to get whatever it wants, which can be brilliant in market reform or tragic in human rights. The latest example is the detention of Rio Tinto chief Stern Hu, allegedly for espionage and bribery. The sudden interest of the federal Liberal Party in human rights – where were they when David Hicks was incarcerated by US thuggery? – is touching, but will make no difference to diplomatic negotiations and hints of economic pressure to get Mr Hu released. This well-publicised drama is only the latest in a long history of human rights abuses. The CCP embarks on a program of de facto ethnic cleansing when it brings a Han work force into so-called ‘autonomous regions’ such as Tibet and Xinjiang, where the authorities are now cracking down on the local Uighur population following riots and protests – much like the English in Ireland in the 17th century. Another campaign of abuse had its tenth anniversary this month – the persecution of the Falun Dafa group, some of whose members are active in Byron Shire. The CCP and the Falun Dafa call each other ‘a dangerous cult’. Falun Dafa may be a bit whacky in its promotion of such things as ‘supernormal abilities’ – pretty much an everyday eccentricity in this Shire – but the CCP is positively dangerous to health. The description of ‘dangerous cult’, with a cult defined as a group of people having beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister, fits the Chinese leadership perfectly. The persecution of Falun Gong practitioners through torture is horrific. You can read details via the Falun Dafa Australia site at www.falunau.org and petition against the persecution. While the human rights situation in China is grim, there has been progress and Amnesty International documents the gains – see www.amnesty.org.au. Perhaps further exposure to the international community, its own burgeoning middle class, hopefully with democratic leanings, the anarchic influence of the internet and the dying off of the CCP old guard will see more gradual reform in China. Incidentally, the CCP apparatchiks are not beyond trying to exert a little muscle in Australia. According to Melbourne International Film Festival director Richard Moore, a Chinese consular official insisted in a phone call that he withdraw Ten Conditions of Love, the documentary on Rebiya Kadeer, the US-based head of the World Uighur Congress. He refused, naturally. Perhaps the official ought to get out a bit more and smell the local reality. As China’s 8th century rebel poet Li Po noted, ‘When the cold wind blows at the bureaucrat’s door/ far better to find solace in wine and blossom’ (trans. H Bitemark). – Michael McDonald, editor

o another Australian soldier has been killed in Afghanistan – that makes eleven. In the broad scheme of things it’s not many, but the numbers are mounting steadily, and there appears to be no sign that they will ease; indeed, casualties are likely become more frequent as the northern summer bring the Taliban out of their shelters and back into battle. The government, of course, is still as gung ho as ever: we are there in the front line of the war against terrorism, we are protecting Australia from potential suicide bombings of the kind that occurred in Jakarta last week. And, importantly, we are there not as part of a unilateral American adventure but with the full imprimatur of the United Nations. This is not another Vietnam or Iraq. Well, perhaps not. But after seven years of achieving very little, it may be timely to ask just how and when we can expect to bring the troops home. In fact the previous defence minister, Joel Fitzgibbon, asked something pretty similar shortly after he was sworn into the portfolio and was roundly castigated for it; the official government line was to increase Australia’s commitment and to urge others to do the same. There has in fact been something of a minisurge, but so far at least it has proved ineffective. The move into Afghanistan was a direct result of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001. Understandably, the Americans felt compelled to strike back, and Afghanistan was the obvious target; it was, after all, where the loathsome Taliban regime had given shelter to Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaida organization. The original aim was to capture

S

Osama and destroy Al Qaida, but that has still not happened; as far as anyone knows Osama is still ensconced somewhere in the fastnesses of the Hindu Kush and Al Qaida, while now somewhat dispersed, still has secure cells in various parts of the world. So our objectives changed: we were there to root out an oppressive dictatorship and help the struggling nation to-

future. The history of Western incursions into the country is a long and dismal one, and there is little reason to believe that the present operation will be any different. Moreover, it has had some really bad unforseen consequences. The destabilisation of Pakistan through the crossborder activity is probably the most serious, but it should also be noted that the war has re-

Well yes, and as was the case in Iraq it has proved a bit harder than it seemed. Shifting the Taliban out of the capital Kabul was accomplished reasonably quickly, and there were plenty of local warlords willing to fill the hole. Shown a bit of stick and a great deal of carrot they were even prepared to introduce a form of democracy and a measure of social reform. Life in the area under government control has certainly improved, especially for women. But the area remains very limited. The vast majority of the country is held either by a resurgent Taliban, or by warlords whose attitudes are hardly more progressive. And given the topography this is highly unlikely to change unless the West is prepared to stage a full scale invasion, which it clearly isn’t. Without a truly massive occupation force the country cannot be controlled, and even with one it is hard to see it becoming either peaceful or democratic in the foreseeable

stored Afghanistan as the predominant source of opium on the planet. Originally the Taliban had tried to wipe out the cultivation of the poppies as contrary to Islam. But the mullahs have now concluded that since the drugs are exported to the infidels, they are a legitimate and effective component of Jihad. And of course, they can use the money. The heroin factories of the west now get their raw materials not from the golden triangle of Laos, Thailand and Burma, but from the poppy fields of Afghanistan. And then there is the constant stream of refugees, an embarrassing number of whom end up in detention on Christmas Island. A sensible government would at least be undertaking a revived costbenefit analysis with a view to reconsidering our policy. Kevin Rudd’s great criticism of Australia’s involvement in Iraq was that the Howard government never had either a clear objective or an exit strategy. But the

same could be said of his commitment to Afghanistan. We will, he suggests, leave when the Afghans can take care of their own security; but if that means waiting until the government in Kabul is in effective control of the whole country, the prospect is not even on the horizon. And even the more modest aim of eliminating the terrorist training camps appears to be fanciful. If all the resources of the allies cannot track down one old and probably invalid man after nearly eight years of persistent effort, cleansing the mountains of all subversives is simply off the agenda. Indeed, while Afghanistan is looking grim, the wider war on terror is not going too well either. We had generally been led to believe that Indonesia was now progressing satisfactorily towards becoming a stable democracy and that the influence of Jemaah Islamiyah had been effectively broken. But although the mob who bombed the Ritz-Carlton and the Marriott has been described as a splinter group, it is obviously a highly effective one. Typically, our Foreign Affairs Department immediately stepped up its travel warnings for Indonesia; the sound of receding hoofbeats was overwhelmed by the slamming of stable doors. And of course, the scene of a terrorist attack is, for some time after, the safest place in the world; the terrorists have run for cover now that there is a massive security presence. But our security people are undeterred. They have, they insist, ensured that there have been no terrorist attacks within Australia. Well yes, and my elephant repellent is astonishingly effective. I have used it since childhood and have never been trampled by an elephant.

Rumblings on Bangalow roads Colin Cook’s concerns (Letters, July 14) that the real debate was not heard on the Bangalow bypass issue are unfounded. All the arguments had been publicly aired during public access and debate prior to the lunch recess. All further discussions I had were held only with community proponents and opponents inside and outside the chambers in full public view. More like discussions without lunch than over lunch and as such no opportunity for ‘lobbying… beyond the public gaze’. The resolution is consistent with Council’s previous submission to the RTA and identifies the need for an expanded study of east-west traffic flows prior to any support for potential solutions. The second and third parts of the resolution set out further measures to deal directly with the problems faced by residents in Bangalow ■

Goonengerry ■ I very much beg to differ with

Tony Hart’s point of view as expressed in his letter to The Echo of July 7. A southern bypass is indeed a very realistic, very effective and preferred solution to the problem of excessive traffic, noise and pollution on Granuaille Road, Lismore Road and Byron Street in Bangalow. The RTA has identified this as the most feasible route after an extensive 6-month study conducted last year. Suggestions of a northern bypass are ridiculous. It would be going through totally unsuitable farmland, up and down hills, take a longer route and still bring traffic to St Helena

of the fact that the Wollongbar Wreck lies close to the council rock wall. If the rock wall did not exist, I am sure the sand flow would still be restricted by the Wreck. You can’t get rid of a fish habitat, you can’t sue the owners of the Wollongbar. It seems to me that council is an easy blame. Why don’t I live at Belongil or New Brighton or any coastal area that is not protected by a big headland? Too big a risk! If you live in an earthquake zone or on the side of a volcano, you must expect the worst. I agree with D Gilet’s comment (Letters, July 14), ‘buyer Jacqueline McCallum beware’. The residents of BeByron Bay longil need to respect the fact that this is a public beach at Spit saga both low and high tide, and I have been reading with inter- after storm events. P Berrington est the ongoing saga of the BeWilsons Creek longil Spit.

There are a number of vacant holiday cabins in the now defunct Becton North Beach Resort. Why can’t they be made available for homeless families for an appropriate rent? These cabins are not luxury Byron residences, but have reasonable facilities, the value adding comes from the ample space for children to play and the proximity to our beautiful beaches.

hill , whereas a southern bypass would take a flatter and much shorter route and divert traffic away from Bangalow onto the planned upgraded highway and St Helena tunnel. Mr Hart has been expressing his opinions in various publications, he belongs to a group called 2020 but I wonder who he actually represents? I don’t believe he is speaking for the whole community. Has he ever spoken to any of the residents along the affected roads to find out what it is like to live with the traffic, the noise and the pollution day and night? Well, I have! And I have heard some horror stories of houses and beds shaking every time a big truck goes by, of people not being able to sleep because it feels like a B-double is coming through their bedroom, of people not being able to safely turn into their driveway because of be-

ing ‘tailgated’ by a speeding truck, of school children having to cross these dangerous roads to catch the school bus. Of a truck driver falling asleep at night and hitting the palm trees outside a house where three people live. Just as well the palm trees were there, otherwise the truck would have gone straight into the house. And on it goes. Bangalow has become a major traffic thoroughfare. We need this bypass and it cannot come soon enough. Interim traffic calming measures like weight restrictions, speed limits, speed cameras and smoother road surfaces are all welcome but they are no long term solution. To waste more time and more precious money on studies is just putting the whole issue on hold.

manufactured substance, percentage wise just doesn’t cut it. All the price rise is doing is making the government richer with tax and the tobacco industry richer, that’s all. What should be happening at all primary schools is to educate the kids of the perils of addiction to this substance, if partaken. End of story. Is federal government for still allowing this product to be legal and the tobacco industry for being greedy and producing an addictive product guilty? Yes, both. I don’t apologise to all you smokers who choose to partake of tobacco, just breathe easy.

More rumblings on roads in Tweed and Byron Dear Byron Shire residents, some (and possibly many) of you have not really thought much about the impending Repco Car Rally, soon to run its inaugural East Coast Australian Round of the World Rally Championships in Tweed and Kyogle Shires. And yes, it is the ‘inaugural’ round, for this event is due to happen every other year until 2019 with an option to continue until 2025. Our Council’s ability to make a decision about this event and any conditions the organisers need to observe has been bypassed. Special legislation, recently passed by the NSW state government, could well put Byron Shire in the rally organisers’ sights for the 2011 event as the

wording of the Bill allows the Minister to declare ‘any area within the Northern Rivers region, or within any other region of the State prescribed by the regulations, as the area within which a rally event may be conducted’. Repco Rally Australia wanted to use roads around Byron Shire (specifically Mullumbimby) for some of the event’s competitive stages. Who wouldn’t? Wonderful scenic coastal views, for the helicopters, great resorts and nightlife, plus the perfect rally ‘Special Stage’ over Main Arm to Uki, if not also the little goat track road up from the main roundabout to Coorabell, and any other gravel roads, that they dream about. But Byron Shire residents

resisted and this time they got their way. However, with this new ‘enabling’ legislation residents and councils get no say; the rally can be run through Byron Shire in two years’ time without referring to anyone but the Minister. Worse still, the legislation removes all opportunities to challenge the Minister’s decisions in any court. This year it’s Tweed and Kyogle’s turn; in 2011 it may be yours. Your neighbours to the north and west need your support now so Repco Rally Australia and the NSW Government think twice before running this totally inappropriate event anywhere in the Northern Rivers area in two years time. Please go to the No Rally

■ I live on The Pocket Road, one of the most dangerous roads in the Shire, which desperately needs upgrading. Absurdly, the Main Arm developers call it ‘Class A’. I have had two collisions with people cutting corners as they race the dangerous, narrow section over Red Hill, outrageously marked 80kph! The long thin, very rough single-lane section of the road

with a blind curve is even more dangerous. Almost every day huge trucks barrel through at high speeds forcing cars off the road into the ditch. This includes cement trucks from Billinudgel, and gravel trucks from the Palmwoods Quarry. Local magistrate Mr Linden said in court, hearing about one of my accidents with an unregistered hit-and-run vehicle, that in his opinion driving on these sections of road was ‘like playing Russian Roulette’. I have complained numerous times to Council and am told there will be no improvements to The Pocket Road in the foreseeable future. It seems Council doesn’t think it is ‘reasonable’ to ask the developers to help pay for upgrades, even though they stand to make

millions in profit if their developments are approved. I urge all Councillors before they vote on these DAs to drive The Pocket Road so they may experience firsthand what I am saying. Council must finally admit that they made a huge mistake choosing Main Arm for this type of massive development, and should never have rezoned the land without having a plan or budget to upgrade the roads. Councillors, you can now see that if you approve these DAs without upgrading the roads, you will be responsible for putting the lives and safety of residents at much greater risk!

abandoned dogs. From what I’ve gathered there, it’s usually in the nature of a dog to be a dog. Last Sunday, I saw a very nice looking couple with their three small children walking into the reserve in Brunswick Heads with their gigantic German Shepherd, ‘They must be new to the area,’ I thought, so very politely informed them that there are native animals living in the reserve and dogs are not allowed in. They very politely thanked me, then continued on their way.

I caught up to them again and a little less politely informed them that there was a large fine for taking a dog in here, and they, also a little less politely, thanked me and continued on their way, their unleashed German Shepherd nosing the ground excitedly. I went home and asked my son and his mate if they thought I should call the Ranger. With the straightforward wisdom of ten year olds, they quickly responded ‘Yes!’ It is against the rules after all. The Bruns-

wick reserve is not that family friendly anyway, not like the dog friendly bike path along the river going out of town. These are the same decent people I could imagine being outraged by the diminishing environment for native flora and fauna – why would they take a known hunter into the homes of precious and vulnerable prey? Chris of Wildlife Rescue told me that people don’t believe their dogs will do any harm, and then when there’s a slaughter, they feel terrible.

We have received some great feedback from exhibitors and public and we thank those who have taken the time to contact us. In light of visitor comments we are reviewing our plans for next year and we are looking at the format and content of presentations, the exclusivity of stands and the admission price. We hope to be able to offer an expo that is more affordable to visit and yet is still sustainable in 2010. Raym Richards

me, for some time now – ever since they decided to market their tinned sardines in packs of three, consequently forcing the ‘con(ed)sumer’ to buy three tins at once, rather than one, a much more frequent marketing ploy these days. Not only does this unnecccessary plastic have dire implications for the environment, I also pity the elderly and disabled struggling to remove it. May I suggest that printed brown paper could be a suitable option? While on the subject of ‘plastic unfantastic’ some of our nation’s newspapers, including the Melbourne Age and our local Byron Shire News, could also consider using a more environmentally friendly product, to wrap their papers in, ie, one that breaks down more readily.

Lawless I was talking to a guy recently who told me he was driving through one of the local missions one day when he saw a pack of people beating a girl with sticks. He said that someone ran out of a nearby house with a saucepan and bashed her in the head with it. She was covered in blood and he heard her scream, ‘Why don’t you just kill me?’ I said, ‘Did you call the police?’ He said, ‘No, there’s no point. I just got out of there.’ I was shocked. I knew that women and children on the missions had no protection from violence but you don’t really imagine what that means until you hear a story like that. Even in the Wild West they had a sheriff to protect the helpless. Those women and children have no protection from extreme violence and no one cares. The police are too busy locking up drug users and unlicensed drivers. I once heard about a government initiative to fund a local, well-trained, Aboriginal security force to be based at the missions but the government cut the funding even before it was tried. Law and order in NSW is

a joke. Aboriginal children are exposed to terrible violence and they become violent themselves. Government departments seem unable to do anything and it’s so sad. It wouldn’t cost that much to pay for local security. How can they be left to scream and there’s noone there to help?

Peter Costello would have us believe he turned the nation’s $96 billion debt to a $45 bilion credit during his tenure as Liberal treasurer. Even Howard crawled out from under his rock to congratulate himself and Costello on their prudent fiscal record. Malcolm Turnbull is dusting off the ‘debt truck’ to expose the Rudd government’s spiralling domestic debt. What politicians avoid mentioning at all costs is the level of Australia’s foreign debt. Howard’s 1995 election promise of reducing foreign debt was nothing but a lie. Between March 1996 when Howard was sworn in as Prime Minister and March 2009 Australia’s level of foreign debt increased from $193 billion to $674 billion – an increase of 350% (Australian Bureau of Statistics). In essence the Liberal economic legacy leaves a per capita debt of $28,000. The previous government essentially hocked the country and peddled the myth that you can borrow to be wealthy. The international monetary system, which has collapsed from an overburden of unmanageable debt, has funded the Howard/ Costello excess. Sadly, our children will be paying off Australia’s international credit card for many years to come.

Street art takes over the gallery walls in Byron Bay A new exhibition opening in Byron Bay on Friday July 24 showcases the urban art phenomenon in a global context. Revolution of Art will bring together works from more than 60 invited Australian and international artists for a threeweek exposition. The select group of artists includes the well-known, such as painter Kelsey Brookes (USA) and pop artist Denis Ropar (Adelaide), alongside young and emerging artists from Asia, Australasia, Europe and the US, who are just starting to make a name for themselves on the urban art scene.

It’s the second year that Retrospect Galleries has held an urban art show. Last year’s exhibition, Where Mighty Giants Dwell, caused a stir in the community, because, as Gallery Director, Bree Delian explains, it’s not the sort of art that people are used to seeing in the Northern Rivers. ‘For a start, it’s largely created in a city environment,’ she said. ‘And it also brings “illicit” street art such as graffiti and stencilling into the gallery environment.’ Over the past decade, works Dennis Ropar, detail from ‘It’s Love’’, Mixed media on canvas. by leading graffiti artists such as England’s Banksy have be- come highly collectable, result- in London’s Knightsbridge, in ing in interest from galleries the company of Hirst, Bacon, the world over.

He has also recentactual identity remains a mys- ly been honoured with a major tery due to pending incarcera- solo exhibition at Bristol City tion), is top of the list of artists Museum and Art Gallery, called represented by Andipa Gallery Banksy v Bristol Museum,

which, he told bbc.co.uk, ‘is the first show I’ve ever done where taxpayers’ money is being used to hang my pictures up rather than scrape them off.’ Delian recognises that the show is not likely to be everyone’s cup of tea, but she says that Retrospect Galleries has a strong following of people that are really interested in this type of art as a comment on broader societal issues and the voice of a new generation. The diverse group of artists in the new show represent Delian’s desire to showcase the range of work and styles that are developing under the urban art banner, including street art, pop art and more fine art forms such as collage, drawings, etching, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking and watercolours, clothing, jewellery, zines and books.

‘Some of the artists, such as Dennis Ropar, Johnny Romeo and Doug Bartlett have art degrees,’ she says. ‘Others have no fine art background but are doing quite well as artists. ‘For example, Regan Tanamui, aka Ha Ha, who recently exhibited at GOMA. He’s a selftaught artist who started off spray painting stencils on the street. ‘All of the artists in the show have something to say about contemporary urban culture and that’s really interesting, especially when you can look at it in a broad international context.’ Revolution of Art opens Friday July 24, 6pm-9pm, with DJ Slinky, and a live aerosol demo with Sydney street artist Bennett.

late last year – when galleries stayed open all afternoon and into the evening so that people could discover what they all do out there in the gradually growing artists’ community. We started at Byron Tik’s studio then moved next door to Zakay Glass Creations where Massive Attack seemed to shimmer from within the mesmerising prisms of glass sculpture. Over the road champagne was being poured in honour of the opening of the Doran Gallery: affixed to Byron Art Supplies it showcased the work of owner Jacqui Doran in images of dogs and children. Then it was the Waywood Gallery to wander entranced from one postcard to another as we worked our way through the 370 entries in the recent ‘Wish You Were Here’ competition.

other metals. He bought me tiny gleaming earrings from the Seed Studio Gallery whose outside air was perfumed with spicy mulled wine; inside glass artist Silva Bond floated decorously amongst her displays of colourful glass jewellery. The climax was Farrell Glass Design. Swirling Middle Eastern music contributed to the surreal exoticism of it all: the cavernous workroom with its incandescent furnace and two men weaving a sort of dance with blowtorches. This was

performance art at its finest : Matthew Farrell and collaborator David Rousell apparently oblivious to the onlookers who stood or sat sipping red wine out of exquisite handcrafted glassware. Fifteen galleries in all were there to be visited but our trail ended here – someone, after all, had to drive home. I look forward to a summer Trail next, when a soft and balmy evening staying light till late will permit a waft on foot from hub to dazzling, inspiring hub.

A lawyer puts the case for an Australian bill of rights Statute of Liberty: How To Give Australians Back Their Rights by Geoffrey Robertson. Mandy Nolan

For the past few years I have had the pleasure of reviewing a book for the Writers’ Festival. This year when Ms Caffin requested I perform another literary autopsy I was alert and slightly alarmed. For a woman who’s just undergone a 10 centimetre cervix dilation, living in a fog of breastmilk and baby vomit, academic pursuit is about as realistic a goal for me as winning a round of Master Chef. Unless it’s baked beans on toast, I haven’t got a chance. With a brain that struggles to complete an entire sentence I was concerned that my lactating dementia would make it difficult to perform adequately, so I requested ‘thin’ books. Maybe a pamphlet. Ms Caffin obliged and just a day or two after our email conversation a package arrived containing a neatly presented slim line text hot off the press from Vintage Books. It was Geoffrey Robertson’s fourth literary offering, Statute of Liberty, a robust and well calculated argument for an Australian Bill of rights, championed with passion and clarity by this Aussie QC who is undoubtedly one of the world’s leading human rights lawyers. Great. I have been struggling with the instructions on how to open the Cornflakes box. You see, I love Geoffrey Robertson. As a young university student I

was a fan of Hypotheticals, enjoying the way Mr Robertson weaved his web. Engaging panellists from academia, business, the public service and politics in a philosphical showdown that had you doing a personal ethics check. He’s a cerebral spunk of the highest order. He’s married to writer and humorist Kathy Lette, so I’m already impressed. Any bloke who can commit to a woman who continually takes the piss is an enlightened being. I read the first chapter three times, my shrunken brain straining under the weight of intelligent conversation. Thank god I don’t have to answer back. God, I hope there’s not a test. Robertson’s authorial voice is filled with a ‘moral outrage’ that intensifies through his book until he steers to his final destination, a proposed Statute of Liberty. As Robertson himself professes, the book ‘is not intended as a legal text’, it is a charter that he negotiates as simply as possible, drawing on our rich and unique history to create a document that will take our children and our children’s children into the future. Robertson points out that the true test of whether or not a society is civilised is if it treats its most wretched members with a modicum of humanity. The experience of indigenous Australians, Cornelia Rau and Dr Haneef are just some instances that highlight a need for human rights to

be enshrined in our constitution. Robertson cites a myriad of cases where a Bill of Rights was used to restore justice for the underpriveleged. His argument puts a sock in the mouth of Janet Albrechtsen of The Australian and ex NSW premier Bob Carr, prone to rabble rousing in the case against a bill of rights. They purport a Bill of Rights would remove the power of parliament and replace

it in the hands of elected and elitist judges, who are, as Robertson points out, ex-lawyers. (Everyone knows how uncorruptable party politics is.) Robertson argues that a Bill of Rights protects citizens from party politics and a society from making economic decisions over human ones. Lawyers who operate in human rights cases according to Robertson are generally the ones who work in community law

offices or legal aid or in trade unions or NGO offices. Their salaries are usually incredibly modest, equivalent to that of a cadet journalist. Robertson himself operates as a human rights lawyer, quipping that his wife Lette’s two most feared words are ‘pro’ and ‘bono’. Robertson’s major theme throughout Statute of Liberty is to undermine the ‘if it’s not broke don’t fix it’ mentality that afflicts most Australians. Yes, we live in a remarkable country with democratic process, a health care system, public education, fair pay for a fair day’s work. Hang on, it wasn’t that long ago that the Howard government’s Work Choices breached the Universal Declaration of Rights by removing a person’s access to a trade union in collective workplace bargaining. Our antiquated constitution, established at Federation in 1901, was only ever designed as a makeshift document for a fledgling country – something to fall back on until we found our feet. What Robertson points out most passionately in his book is the need for Australians to acknowledge and understand their complex and unique history – something that would be encapsulated in our Bill of Rights. Robertson concludes his book with his proposed statute of liberty, a striking and moving hypothetical document that maps a country that we could very well become. It acknowleges first owners and occupiers, apologises for

the dispossession, discrimination and degradation and is proud of our progress from a penal colony to a ‘free nation of boundless opportunity unrestricted by divisions of class or caste or private wealth, an example to the world of the ever present possibility of the reformation of the human spirit’. I was in tears when I read the last chapter, not just because my brain was hurting, but because of this strange stirring of patriotism and sense of country which could be enshrined in the values set out in a Bill of Rights. Our willingness to protect the most vulnerable is a measure of our humanity and is echoed in the first Right in the proposed Charter of Australian Liberty. Robertson picks Captain Arthur Phillip’s first law of liberty as our first law, a historical homage to the spirit with which we first colonised Australia: ‘There can be no slavery in a free land and hence no slaves.’ This was a founding premise established over a century before the abolition of slavery, something we as Australians can be proud of. Robertson’s Statute of Liberty encourages Australians to embrace our own charter to move democratically and compassionately into the future so we really can advance Australia Fair, not advance Australia Fear. ■Geoffrey Robertson will give

the opening address at this year’s Writers Festival.

Festival themes: it was the time of the memoir, in the year of 09 Byron Bay Writers Festival Director Jeni Caffin is immersed in memories: other people’s memories. ‘In publishing terms, this

ruminations of the writers who will be attending this year’s Festival.’ One of the most iconic bands in Australia’s rock and roll heritage is Cold Chisel and band member Don Walker was its creative song writing force, penning such massive hits as Choirgirl, Khe Sanh and Breakfast at Sweethearts. Festival goers will be treated to Conversations and discussions springing from Walker’s extraordinary road memoir, Shots. Says Jeni, ‘I started reading Shots at midnight one night and closed its pages at 5am, having travelled a surreal soar-

ing, tracking journey over the landscape of a life. As you would expect from this powerful, visceral lyricist, the book is spare, mesmerising and wild. I cannot wait to listen to Don speak about life on the road and the places where he finds inspiration.’ Still on the musical theme, who didn’t shed a tear while watching the ABC series Choir of Hard Knocks? Jonathon Welch is considered one of the finest tenors of his generation, but cemented his place in our hearts and minds when he returned to his hometown of Melbourne and created the Choir of Hard Knocks.

Jonathon saw the formation of the Choir as the chance to show audiences another side of disadvantaged and disempowered people and gave his Choir a voice and sense of family. Choir Man is Jonathon’s own story and reflects the influences and forces which have made him an advocate for social change. Jonathon will participate in panels and readings across the program and also contribute to the increasingly popular Secondary Schools day. Byron Bay writer, Oren Siedler, whose first book the memoir Bruce and Me, follows the documentary of the same name. This is the explo-

ration of a unique relationship between a daughter and her con-man father. Jeni explains, ‘Oren had a fabulous and complex story to tell and the Northern Rivers Writers’ Centre is over the moon that the world will be reading it. Oren has participated in the Centre’s residential mentorship program and the fact that we are now welcoming Oren and her book to the Festival attests to the efficacy of this program.’ Festival dates are August 7-9 and three-day passes are now on sale at www.byronbaywritersfestival.com or Jetset Byron Bay on 6685 6262.

Comment An author looks at the possible impact of the Productivity Commission report recommending the abolition of import restrictions on books.

C U R TA I N S & B L I N D S

Local book industry in jeopardy Nick Earls

First, are books in Australia more expensive than elsewhere? The Productivity Commission worked hard to prove that was the case, but couldn’t. In the end they decided that measuring the magnitude of any actual price efforts related to territorial copyright was ‘problematic’ and in its recent draft report did not ‘put a figure on them’. The entire argument from the Coalition for Big Business (sorry, Coalition for Cheaper Books, ie, Wesfarmers, Woolworths, Dymocks, etc) is that abandoning territorial copyright would make books cheaper, but no one has proven that it does. If good data existed demonstrating a clear and sustained price benefit, it would need to be weighed against possible detriments. If there is no good data to demonstrate conclusively the benefit of change – as is currently the case – the change should simply not be made. The fact is that some books are cheaper in Australia, some are more expensive and some cost around the same as elsewhere, and prices vary from book to book, time to time, retailer to retailer and with changes in the exchange rate. Either side in this argument can cherry pick individual books – and times with exchange rates that favour their case – and wave them in the air in order to make their point, but it doesn’t prove a point about an entire industry. Beware of economic rationalists waving Tim Winton novels, and the comparisons they make. Is it fair to compare the cheapest price of a book online with the Australian RRP,

when discount outlets are selling the book for far less? Why are we comparing Dymocks’ prices with Amazon’s, when Big W and Kmart are regularly undercutting Dymocks? Australia often has cheaper books than we might think, if we’re prepared to shop around. So how much would the price drop if territorial copyright was lifted, and parallel importing of all books was allowed? Bob Carr, in an article in The Australian last year, pulled the old trick of comparing the highest price he could find in Australia with the lowest price he could find online, and the books he used to make his point included Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger, PD James’s The Private Patient and Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight. But here’s the point he didn’t make: all these books can already be legally parallel imported. So why isn’t his team at Dymocks doing just that, and turning them into Cheaper Books? If parallel importing would make books cheaper, why are we not seeing that already with the many books that can be lawfully parallel imported right now? I’m not so cynical that I think the answer’s all about Dymocks’ bottom line. I think it’s more likely that the books wouldn’t

be cheaper after all. How often does deregulation live up to its promise of making things cheaper? Milk, anyone? Since deregulation, we’ve all seen milk become more expensive and farmers get paid less. The changes proposed by the Productivity Commission are unlikely to deliver the price benefits to consumers that they might hope, but they will put a commercially viable industry in jeopardy. The Commission knows this risk, and accepts it. Recommendation number two is that subsidies be introduced to mitigate against the cultural harm of the proposed change. The publishing industry creates jobs in writing, publishing, design and printing. It generates export earnings. It creates intellectual property that we can market around the world and that helps make Australia a player in a global knowledge economy. I want this industry to thrive, not to be so harmed – and knowingly, recklessly harmed – that it requires propping up. We need to read our own stories, and in our own voices. American editions of my novels have had up to 200 changes made for that market, and I want Australians to continue to have access to the original Australian versions. I want Australian children to have access to great Australian children’s books, with their Australian cultural references and spelling intact. So how does territorial copyright work elsewhere? The UK and US maintain their own copyright territories vigorously, and each of their systems is in fact less open than the current system in Australia. NZ gave up territorial copyright a decade ago, and how have

they fared? Have you seen the price of books in NZ? They’re not cheap. Have you read many great NZ authors under 50 lately? Probably not. It’s not that the talent isn’t there, but the loss of territorial copyright is a major disincentive for a publisher to take the risk of publishing a new author. NZ Trade and Enterprise’s 2004 report into the industry said, ‘New Zealand publishers face an inherent problem in that the domestic market is swamped by imports’. Children’s publishing was seen as threatened, with ‘dumping of children’s books’ listed by NZ publishers as one of the most pressing issues they face. The only reliable sellers the report could identify were ‘coffee table books of landscape photos and books about rugby’. That can’t be the kind of publishing industry any of us wants in Australia. Allowing parallel importation would cost jobs in publishing and printing, reduce the number of current writers able to continue writing full-time, reduce the number of new Australian writers being published and reduce the number of Australian stories being told. It might make some books a bit cheaper, and it might not. When he presented his Literary Awards last year, the Prime Minister called writers ‘the soul and sinew of our nation’. I’m sure he meant that, and this is the perfect time for him to demonstrate that he did. ■First published at ABC News

Known by most of the local Aboriginal people as Wollumbin, which means cloud catcher, Mount Warning and its caldera were formed more than 20 million years ago after a massive eruption caused the walls of this now extinct volcano to collapse. The towering, cone-shaped peak of the mountain dominates just about every view of the Tweed hinterland, and it alone makes the trip worthwhile. But the area has so much more to offer. The Tweed hinterland is the ideal destination for a scenic and relaxing day out. Around every corner in every village, there are interesting places to go and

sure you explore as many of them as possible. An old rural area that has become a haven for those with a more alternative or creative bent, it offers the best of all these worlds. It’s a wonderful drive, but it’s getting out of the car and exploring on foot that gives you the best insight into the delights that this beautiful area has to offer. A leisurely thirty minute drive from Byron or the Gold Coast, it’s a world of galleries and cafes, antique shops, old fashioned general stores, country pubs and plenty of surprises. We’ll reveal a few of them in this feature, but nothing beats getting out there and finding out for yourself. Thanks to Tweed Tourism for their help with this feature.

The gallery carries functional and decorative pieces by resident potter Bob Connery, plus a wide range of other ceramics, glass, paintings, jewellery, cards and craft items from the very best local artists. Open 7 days 9:30am - 5pm

VINCENT’S GENERAL STORE CRABBES CREEK

When you start seeing black and white cow artwork on the telephone poles you know you have reached Mooball.

Sit back and enjoy the beautiful views of Mt Warning, mountains, cedar country and the picturesque Tweed and Rous Rivers at the Tumbulgum Tavern. The ‘Tumby Pub’ as its known to locals, has great tucker, a magniďŹ cent building and a tranquil and scenic location on the Tweed River. It was the ďŹ rst pub in the area and licensed since 1887 with a wonderful collection of old photos and pubobilia. The Bistro has been awarded the Best Hotel Dining award in the Tweed Business Excellence Awards and the chefs keep to that standard for lunch 7 days and dinner Fridays and Saturdays.

Riverside Drive, Tumbulgum. Phone: 02 6676 6202.

The little village of Crabbes Creek is one of the ďŹ rst settled villages in the Tweed Shire. The general store was one of the ďŹ rst in the area outside Murwillumbah. It was established in 1890 and is still the original building, and has been run by the Vincent family since 1954. Col Vincent got one of the ďŹ rst liquor licences for country stores in 1978 and now the store carries one of the largest ranges of imported beers in the district along with a large range of local beers and wines. Alan and his wife Lulu have run the store since 1981 and along with their son Shane and wonderful staff Jacki, Lizie, Wilma and Fay, they provide the good old fashioned friendly service that has made this old style country store the nerve centre of Crabbes Creek.

A NEW BROOM AT THE VICTORY Mooball’s Victory Hotel is presenting a fresh new face with new management by Peter Payten and Mary Larance, who between them have decades of experience in the hotel industry. There’s also a new team in the kitchen offering a combination of traditional pub fare and modern Australian cuisine.

They say long distance relationships never work, but that’s not always true. For Frank Corby and Bill Jacobi of Method, distance has made the music grow fonder in a partnership that has lasted over a decade. With Frank residing in the Blue Mountains, and Bill here on the North Coast, it’s a musical combination that doesn’t need hours of rehearsal, just careful planning. Frank and Bill are the proud parents of a brand new self titled album, a clearskin conceived between mountain and sea, and finally birthed here in Byron at Fracas, with Phil Pyne. It was a creative process that took its time, according to Bill who remarked ‘we had some fun and then we mixed it all at home – it gave us a lot of time to tweak things although it had been a long time between drinks. I started building a house, so we got to finish the album two years after we started recording! Building a house was the most stressful and rewarding thing I’ve ever done.’ Now Mr Jacobi is sitting in his brand new Uki house listening to his brand new CD. It’s a beautifully mastered album, with the first track taking the listener to a more dreamlike place. According to Bill, Wind in the Rushes is ‘a hypnotic, dark and moody piece, it’s a maniacal adventure, watching the shadows come into the room.’ Jacobi hails from the Blue Mountains, and uses it still as

<g±f T__ \a g[X @Xg[bW

a source of inspiration for his song writing. ‘In a lot of the music I am trying to describe the various joys and perils of everyday life. That wind is about losing it in the mental stability stakes, (Wind in the Rushes). The song was set in the Blue Mountains – where right on the edge, there’s a wind that blows for three or four days straight, even stable people start to lose it.’ So what is the glue that has held Method together in lieu of the tyranny of distance? ‘We have a lot of common ground and love collaborating. Frank is a songwriter and singer

as well as being a drummer and he sings and writes from a singer’s point of view. To have someone who has that kind of input is great and he is a lot of fun to play with. I feel that my voice is a bit one dimensional and it does what it does, having Frank there really broadens out the sound.’ The recording process allowed this two piece the luxury of adding a few extra levels to their sound. ‘In the production, because we are a two piece we wanted to keep it pretty much to guitar and drums. But if you weren’t listening up close and personal

Love

then you kind of missed it a bit – so I had to put some bass on it.’ Method split their year between playing gigs here on the North Coast and in the Blue Mountains. It has afforded them a loyal following in two distinct centres. ‘Frank comes up here every two or three months and we do a string of dates and I get down there as often as I can. ‘We have our original following still, these are people who have moved on and had kids… our first album came out in 1996 and we had quite a big

following then. I feel like I’ve been lucky to keep playing, I play bass with Floyd Vincent and have various other side projects, I just keep the balls in the air and keep them juggling.’ The boys launch their new album – Method Album – in a string of gigs starting at the Court House on Friday, the Bangalow Hotel on Sunday and then the Beach Hotel on Thursday July 30 and Hotel Brunswick on Friday 31.

Desperately Seeking Siesta

Mandy Nolan

I remember being three years old and forced to have a post lunch nap at kindy. We were lined up on foldout hessian beds and told to sleep. It was like torture. My tiny brain would still be whirring, coming up with schemes of how I could nobble the other 27 kids and claim the swing as my own. While those pliable infants slept I lay with one eye trained on the door, ensuring I’d be first up at wakey time. Clear passage was blocked only by the slow moving fat kid who’d scored the bed nearest the exit. If he got heads up on me in the dash to the playground, I decided I’d bite him. Hell, I’d done it before. He was quite tasty. That 40 minutes of enforced non movement felt like an eternity. If I was Ann Frank I wouldn’t have lasted a day. It would have been a very short diary. Every day the thought of the

Troy Story When Troy Cassar-Daley came up with the title for his new album, I Love This Place, he was thinking more about a state of mind than any place you can find on a map. Much as he loves hanging out with his wife and kids, or throwing a line in on his farm an hour out of Brisbane, the much loved and respected Aussie country musician more wanted to share a blissful time and place in his life. Rather than having a midlife crisis and buying a Harley on hitting his milestone 40th birthday, Cassar-Daley realised he was exactly where he wanted to be. After six studio albums, 14 Golden Guitars, three ARIAs, countless

lunchtime nap filled me with anxiety. Sleep was the enemy. I had fought my way to the egg, and sought passage six weeks early from my mother’s womb because I was keen to engage in this thing called living. I didn’t want to waste valuable playdough ball making, finger painting time having a fricking nap. I was the child who was the scourge of all parents, a night time ninja, a sleep fighter. I would not be kid – napped. It was my quest to stay up as long as possible. There was no surrender. Now, at 41 the nap I once feared has become my fantasy. If asked what I most wanted to achieve in life I wouldn’t answer fame, or world domination, I’d say, an undisturbed nap. The afternoon nap is far sweeter to me than any tantric tossle, and similarly hard to achieve. You know you’ve hit the halfway mark on your tours across our wide, brown land and two stints on the top-rating Channel 7 show It Takes Two, Cassar-Daley has good reason to be content and wants to share that positivity. Rather than dwelling on the tough times of life, a point reinforced on a recent trip to Whittlesea to play for some of those affected by the recent Victorian bushfires, CassarDaley wants to let people know there are good days ahead too. Good mate Keith Urban suggested he try writing with a drum machine to take him out of his comfort zone and while the honesty and rawness of the traditional country he listened to in his youth remains his strongest influence, the spectrum of sounds on the album incorporating rock, pop, blues and folk is testament to his versatility. ‘You can teach an old dog new tricks,’ says Cassar-Daley, laughing. ‘I have always been a purist when it came to writing with an acoustic guitar but this time

life journey when you start having a ‘lie down’. I think my childhood reluctance to visit the land of Nod has left me with bad snooze karma. Every time I engage in a bit of afternoon shuteye, my serenity is sabotaged. Just as my body starts to drift into that warm fuzziness of day slumber a cue is sent to the universe: phone must ring now. If I take the phone off the hook, someone will come to the door, if I leave a note on the door, a neighbour will start a brushcutter. A child will break their leg, start a fight over ownership of the remote or have a question which requires an immediate answer like ‘Mum, can I have $50?’ Naps are better than sleep. It’s like 30 minutes of delicious nothingness stolen from a life full of inane chores and petty expectations. There are countries that close everything I plugged the Telecaster into an amplifier and set the drum machine to a beat I enjoyed playing along to.’ Whether revelling in his pride for his homeland and the marvels he has seen, celebrating the reallife larrikins and knockabout characters of the Aussie bush, Cassar-Daley always sings from the heart and has the uncanny ability to transport listeners into songs, making them feel the heat of the sun, the texture of the earth, or the long miles of lonely roads. Sunday arvo, 3pm at the Ballina RSL. Tix at the club for $30.

for a little siesta. Imagine doing that here and phoning the bank manager. ‘You’d like to speak to Mr Perkins. Hold please.’ There’s a pause before the receptionist comes back on line ‘I’m sorry, he’s having a bit of a lie down, call back at fruit time.’ Sleeping Beauty is the ultimate nap porn. The thought of having a good lie down for 100 years is so sensational it’s X rated. Who needs Stillnox when you have Needlepoint? When you use that burning brain of yours to hand stitch a kitten sitting on a pumpkin it’s one sure way to a century of unconsciousness. Even Beauty’s sleep is blighted, poor love, by a chap we are told is the handsome prince, but we ladies know he is just another idiot with a whipper snipper and the morning wood sticking his tongue down our throats going ‘you awake, love?’ Debut EP Roots Soul & Rock’n Roll last year Dan is attracting the attention of Australian music industry leaders. Dan, a Ballina boy who married a Bangalow girl, is joined on Friday night by the eccentric Jesse John on congas. Together the duo journey from intimate tales of love, life and adventure to four on the floor, relentless rock n roll.

From relative obscurity, Lou has managed to gain the sort of critical acclaim and respect that many established artists strive for. First in 2005 with a great kick start grant offered by the Jbseed, which then led to the release of her debut album Love Someone, subsequently earning her finalist positions in both the ARIA and CMAA ‘Golden Guitar’ awards in 2007 along with favourable reviews in major newspapers. Keeping her all original album independent from any major label, Lou performed and toured her debut album extensively

across Australia with artists like Troy Casser-Daley and Paul Greene and also played many major festivals. She has just completed her second album produced by award winning and critically acclaimed. Shane Nicholson, (partner of Kasey Chambers). The newest offering showcases Lou’s prodigious talents as a lyricist and melodist while it manages to maintain a balance of emotional intensity and a unique philosophical outlook that seems to be essential to her work. Every song stands proudly as a lovingly crafted piece, as she deals with subjects ranging from the somewhat abstract to the ‘everyday’, with a uniquely ‘Lou’ perspective.

Bunch of Spunks

Surging forth from the urban sprawl of Sydney, comes Lost Valentinos, a collective of five young men armed with indie rock dreams and an album’s worth of what they’ve termed ‘conquistadisco’. Hey it sounds obscure, but it’s the Lost Valentinos’ signature style, something they’ve been refining since 2005. Relentless percussion fused with cosmic production and fractured guitar soundscapes. Find your Valentine at the Hotel Great Northern on Thursday.

Holly Throsby, The Middle East and Leader Cheetah are performing at the Spunk Records Pre-Splendour party on Friday at the Byron Bay Community Centre.

The Middle East are currently taking a few weeks off before supporting the Doves across the country. Their debut EP Recordings Of The Middle East reached #42 on the Australian charts. Leader Cheetah have just completed their album tour for the Sunspot Letters which was described by the Courier Mail as ‘the best Australian debut since Augie March’s Sunset Studies’.

Beauty on Firetrax Local pantomime company Firetrax was thankful of the spare seats stashed away at the Bangalow A&I Hall when the first performance of their latest show Sleeping Beauty sold out minutes before the curtain went up. The big surprise for the cast was the number of adults turning up without kiddies. Rumour has it, the adults are turning up for Gina Baker’s Malanthia, the dominatrix fairy who strutted her stuff at the recent Bangalow Billy Cart Derby. The witty script and twist in the tale keeps grown-up members of the audience engaged and entertained, while the kids get swept up in the traditional elements of pantomime. A number of times the actors had to settle the inflamed passions of the youngest audience members bent on saving Beauty from Malanthia’s evil schemes. Parents worried about the gender stereotypes portrayed in fairy tales will enjoy the variations that Sharmon has woven into this particular telling of the story. The last performance is Wednesday at Bangalow’s A&I Hall, though the troupe is interested in taking it elsewhere if there is sufficient demand. Tickets are available at the door or can be booked on 6687 1998.

Life’s a Gift

A few years ago I tried to get a ticket to see Dylan Moran. This UK based Irish comic is one of the most soughtafter performers in the world and I didn’t have a hope. Tickets to all his shows had sold out months before. I was disappointed but refreshed by the way we have embraced this intellectual alcoholic cynic. Dysfunction is a far greater entertainer than sentiment. Perhaps we haven’t been colonised by American thinking just yet. For those of you too frightened to watch the ABC, Dylan Moran is the star and creator of the BAFTA award winning TV series Black Books, and an established standup comic. He’s also starred in the films Shaun of the Dead and Run Fat Boy Run with fellow UK comedian Simon Pegg. His standup shows have sold out across the world, cementing this unkempt wordsmith’s reputation as one of the foremost comics of his generation, known for his absurd observations and unique brand of dry humour. He combines his talents as an actor, writer and performer to incredible effect as a master of comedy. Get ready for a night of sidesplitting laughter when Dendy Byron Bay screens Dylan Moran What It Is on Wednesday July 29. The Irish comedian’s performance was captured live in high definition at Sydney’s State Theatre during his recent sold out tour and is being screened at the

Urban Art takes Byron by storm with an art show opening at Retrospect Galleries on Friday, called Revolution of Art. Featuring the work of Regan Tanamui AKA ‘HA HA’. This guy has no formal art training and started his artistic career spray painting stencils on the street. Eight years later and his work is in collections including the National Gallery of Australia. He’s just exhibited at GOMA in Brisbane and regularly has solo shows around the country. His work is about ‘the power of mass media within Australian popular culture and how our obsessions with reality TV, sport, criminal lifestyles, get rich quick and instant fame becomes the obsessions, create the new virtues of the 21st century.’ The other artist is Dennis Ropar. This guy has an art degree and is developing quite a reputation for his pop art and the stunts he likes to pull to promote it. The art of Dennis Ropar is a pastiche of iconic imagery, pop-art references and gloriously kitsch colour. Images of sexuality are used to sell classic consumer products, however the art of Ropar extends well beyond each canvas.

IT’S LOVE, A PIECE BY DENNIS ROPAR EXHIBITING AT RETROSPECT GALLERIES IN BYRON BAY OPENING FRIDAY TIPI FOREST – SPLENDOUR IN THE GRASS

INVISIBLE FRIEND AT THE RAILS ON SATURDAY

This DJ and remix gang consisting of Dangerous Dan, Ajax, DJ Damage, Hoodrat, Double Nolan and Doom made themselves a name by throwing their own successful parties leading the gang to run their own arena at Sydney’s ‘We Love Sound’ winter festival earlier this year. Bang Gang’s CD mixes to check out if you haven’t yet are, One Million Volts of Techno, the BBC’s Annie Mac mini mix 82 Songs in 5 Minutes and their best known CD D is for Disco, E is for Dancing. In action since 2003 the Bang Gang call their party shenanigans ‘mind dimensioneering and racketerring’‌ www. banggang.com.au. The guys are not afraid to break conventions in dance floor workings and musical approaches, and at least two of them (Jaime Doom and Gus Da Hoodrat) call themselves ‘Cavaliers of club, barons of Baltimore, tramps of Techno (my personal favourite!) and hobos of House. Via electro-house, baile punk, minimal techno, 90s French house, 80s new wave and 70s disco the bunch agitate and discombobulate their myriad of fans, giving them the option to traverse into a universe of their choice. Modular Recordings in Sydney is their HQ releasing their mixes via Ministry Of Sound. Jaime and Gus are also the doom and diligence behind the Bang Gang record label, releasing acts such as The Bag Raiders, Like Woah!, Soft

Tigers, Muscles and KIM. The boys are hard to ignore really, they are on the pulse and they have played the world over from Parisian cheese factories to Melbourne toilets‌ Q: What are the Bang Gang’s ethics? A: ‘Magic happens when you dance like nobody’s watching.’ Q: How did you get to name yourselves the Bang Gang? A: ‘Someone suggested Gang Bang but we thought that was a bit lame so we flipped it. Ingenuous I know!’ Q: How has your music developed since you’ve started out? A: ‘We used to play bootlegs and pop songs and punk funk. Now we play techno and Carni beat. And we can also now mix‌ kinda.’ Q: Where is Bang Gang headed in 2009? A: ‘We are staying in OZ for the rest of the year after travelling a lot over the last few years so more gigs here, our own parties, lots of interstate travel, releasing our label (BangGang12s) compilation CD, a few more remixes, heaps

more singles on our label and maybe eventually some tunes of our own.’ Q: How do you prepare for shows? A: ‘We don’t plan at all. Sometimes we will make an intro or an edit or something but that’s about it. Planning would be boring I think and wouldn’t always work for every show.’ Q: What are the tunes on top of your play list? A: ‘Tiga – Shoes (Mr Oizo Remix), Phoenix – Liztomania (Der Die Das Remix), Young Lovers – Love You Madly and Bag Raiders – Shooting Stars (Siruismo Remix).’ Q: Habits in the studio?

Mungo’s Crossword first published in The Week.

ARIES: This week needs you talking through edgy situations without getting defensive or caught up in your emotional story. Aim for harmony rather than arguing and not only will others cooperate, you’ll also get a big tick from the universe in the form of something you never thought possible. TAURUS: This week’s astral package is favorable for trips away, home improvements and real estate deals, so even travelling Taurans are likely to have buying, revamping or refinancing on their minds. And it’s an unbeatable week for self promotion: whatever you’re selling, others are going to want. GEMINI: Mars and Venus in Gemini have you social butterflies doing what you do best: hunting and gathering information, ideas, styles and people. If asked to arbitrate dramas you’ll see instantly what’s needed, but no one will listen unless you can empathize Vladimir Kramnik continued his remarkable dominance of the traditional Sparkassen super-tournament in Dortmund, Germany, by taking his ninth title last week in convincing fashion. Kramnik finished a point ahead of a classy field in Dortmund thanks to a big finish, his spectacular eighth round win over long-time leader Magnus Carlsen effectively deciding the destination of first prize. Yet Kramnik showed he was human the following day, missing a win against the 26-yearold who briefly displaced him as the world’s top ranking Russian, Dmitry Jakovenko. That lost opportunity was so annoying to Kramnik that he kept tossing and turning over the missed move until 7am the next morning, yet somehow retained enough energy to knock out local star Arkadij Naiditsch in the final round and secure outright victory. Dortmund was Kramnik’s first appearance at a top level tournament since his world title loss to Viswanathan Anand last October.

LIBRA: Although it’s a lively, entertaining week, the solar eclipse could suddenly shove something you’ve been avoiding right in your face. But don’t panic, because this is also a time for eureka type, breakthrough realisations – hot flashes of insight which solve things simply and promptly. SCORPIO: Making major decisions around an eclipse isn’t advised, so if possible postpone important moves till next week. If you have to kiss a part of your past goodbye in order to move forward, do it without blaming yourself or anyone else. Progress? Bring it on! SAGITTARIUS: Though this week’s astral fire calls for action, wait till after midweek’s rare placement of your ruler Jupiter brings clarity about how altering your mindset could activate the changes you want. Wednesday’s volatile, but could still be a potent time for important personal talks.

Television Guide 1. Scifi fans have a night of their own (Friday) on ABC2, beginning with the sitcom Clone at 8pm, followed by the slightly more serious Torchwood and Being Human. Stuart McLoughlin plays the hapless clone soldier who would rather love everybody. 2.Ashley Judd stars with Tommy Lee Jones in Double Jeopardy (TEN, Saturday, 8.30pm), a moderately interesting if confused and confusing thriller. 3. Contact your inner child with Ben Stiller in Night At The Museum (TEN, Sunday, 7.30pm), satisying comedy with fun FX. Otherwise grind your way through the Oceans franchise on NBN or the Tour De France on ABC2.

Open 10am - 5.30pm Splendour Weekend

A WHOLE YEAR HAS COME AND GONE, AND FOR THOSE ARDENT DEVOTEES of the cult of Splendour it’s time once again to travel to their musical mecca to pay homage to some of the most cutting edge indy bands in the world. This year’s headline is held by Bloc Party and The Flaming Lips and The Happy Mondays perform their only Aussie show.

Securing a ticket to Splendour has become as difficult as winning lotto with on line sales clearing the decks in just an hour. For those who have secured a ticket it’s good news, and with current accurate ID then it’s no probs. For those who haven’t got a ticket the message from the organisors is don’t bother turning up as this year, as in years past there will be a zero tolerance for fence jumpers. Splendour in the Grass producer Jessica Ducrou said, ‘Fence jumping is trespassing and Splendour has a zero tolerance policy towards anyone trying to enter the festival this way. We have had many meetings with the relevant authorities regarding this matter and as a result have substantially upgraded our security, police presence and fencing in order to prevent such activities.’ Security has been stepped up with boundary patrols by security on foot and horseback. There will also be roving police on site and fence jumpers will be detained and escorted to the police office on site. There’s also some hefty fines in place for what may be an Olympic sport in years to come, with minimum fees of $350. Thats a lot of McDonalds shifts. I’d be thinking twice about bringing my cache of ecstasy to the festival as well – as this year police will be checking patrons on entry with sniffer dogs. Don’t be like the stoned girl I saw last year patting and cooing over the cute little puppy. So if you have a ticket and don’t have drugs then the chances are you will have an excellent time. Splendour in the Grass are right on target this year with their initiatives to present a responsible and green festival. Patrons were given the opportunity to offset their ‘average’ daily emissions over the duration of the event by way of purchasing a ‘Carbon Offset Ticket’. Apart from greenhouse gas emissions another environmental issue that requires careful management is solid waste. With 5 recycling centres located next to each of the bars, 180,000 drink containers were returned for recycling last year, which was an amazing effort. This year management is planning on shooting for the dizzying heights of a 95% recycling rate. The crew at Splendour are keen to create a rich festival feel on site so that time away from the main stage will provide a thrill in itself. There’s the Global Village where there will be a range of workshops and performances in dance styles ranging from ancient traditions to modern fusion. The Temple Stage will serve up a tantalising variety of Bloc Party

moves from all corners of the globe and punters will be able to sample the deceptively beautiful art of Capoeira, embody the latest in hip hop, or partake in traditional Aboriginal steps. Lovers of dance can indulge in the movement towards conscious dance with classes from Five Rhythms to Kundalini Dance to Nia Dance. Solace from the madding crowd and the noise of rock can be gained at The Chai Tent. Alongside some refreshing and restorative teas, patrons can partake in some traditional basket weaving or various cultural craft workshops, where you can explore your own creative potential. There is also an impressive arts program with Splendour in the Arts. Curated by renowned visual artist Craig Walsh it features everything from naughty Santas to sublime snails. Local artist Andy Forbes and friends return with their annual The Tent of Miracles – this time in the form of Santa’s Little Sweat Shop. Mr and Mrs Claws and all the Christmas freaks are wondering have you been bad or good little girls and boys because, as you might have guessed, they’re making a list, checking it twice, and are going to find out if you’re naughty or nice.

In a Blasko Mood With the release of her third album just last week, Sarah Blasko lifts the lid on ‘As Day Follows Night’ with a performance at Splendour in the Grass this weekend. Committed to producing an album different from the others, Blasko set about finding a producer who would complement her penchant for melancholy. She met her match in Sweden’s legendary Bjorn Yttling hailing from Peter, Bjorn and John. Just months after their first contact she was laying down tracks at the legendary Atlantis Studio. ‘At one point I thought I was going to record in Australia and I got my mind around that, but towards the end of the writing process I felt like I needed to get away and have a break and I figured I might as well contact someone about my record and Bjorn’s name popped up and I like his style. I sent him a letter and headed over to Stockholm and met up with him. I was really happy, it gave me a lot of confidence in the songs and the demos, I hadn’t played the songs

to a lot of people and some of the demos were a bit crappy… I sent such a strange letter kind of excusing them. But he could hear in them what they were to be.’ The composer in Blasko meant she had a very clear idea about where she was going with the album.

‘We just talked pretty clearly about what we were doing, even though the demos were sparse, they were just piano and voice or guitar and voice, I knew pretty clearly what I was looking for. I was pretty clear there should be no guitar (electric) on the album, just strings and bass and piano. I wanted something that had a lot of space and a lot of air. A lot of the songs are reminiscent of old soul songs, in my own way of course, or old jazz tunes, everything had an old fashioned feel to it. Electric guitar or pedals would make it too modern or full, but then I didn’t want it to be a retro record either. I wanted it to be otherworldly – not specific to a time. The records I’d heard of Bjorn’s were pop records but he did it in an eclectic and interesting

Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince You could be forgiven for approaching the sixth screen adaptation of the J.K.Rowling franchise with less than unbridled enthusiasm. Since the last exhausting episode, many – especially the noncommitted who have not done the hard yards with the printed version – might complain that they are Harry Potter’d out. The first book (the only one I’ve read – and thoroughly enjoyed) had an undeniable Famous Five ambience, which was transferred, virtually page for page, on to celluloid. Eight years later, there is a welcome return to that sense of being in a youthful, secret world, albeit one under the cloud of impending doom. Director

David Yates has also pulled back on the mega SFX and CGI, giving more time to story and character development, thus making the smoke-andmirrors even more effective when they come into play. The school itself is as magical as ever (the candles still floating in the air), but the kids are noticeably older and coming to terms with love and the other catastrophes associated with approaching maturity. Harry has got his eye on Ginny, and Ron, a sizeable unit, is snogging Lavender, which causes gorgeous Hermione, now with cleavage (!), no end of jealous anguish, while Harry’s wonderfully named enemy, Draco Malfoy has grown up to look like a grass from The Bill. On a disconcerting note, the crew apparently make regular visits to the pub, with Hermione decidedly unsteady on her pins as they walk back to the dorms after one session – like her fancying Ron, it just didn’t seem

★ STARTS NEXT THURSDAY ★ PUBLIC ENEMIES, MY SISTER’S KEEPER ★ www.echo.net.au

This is a raucous comedy that explores that bizarre celebration of the end of bachelorhood, the bucks’ party. For anyone who’s woken up after a wild night with only the sketchiest of recollections of the night before this one’s for you. When alpha-male Phil (Bradley Cooper), subservient

dentist Stu (Ed Helms) and chronic weirdo Alan (Zach Galifianakis) wake up in their Las Vegas hotel room after a wild buck’s night for their buddy Doug (Justin Bartha), they draw a blank: the groom-to-be is nowhere to be seen. But there’s a tiger in the bathroom, chickens are wandering around the hallways, there’s a blow-up sex doll in the spa, a baby in a cupboard, and Stu is missing a tooth. There’s one more thing. Realising that they’ve all been drugged the night before, the horribly worse-for-wear trio

of mismatched buddies set out in the scorching daylight heat of Las Vegas to search for their missing pal and put together the shattered pieces of what happened to them the night before. The film’s plot is structured like one of those film noir thrillers – where the man wakes up one morning and he has no memory of what’s happened over the last 48 hours, but something dreadful has gone on – so he has to try and retrace his steps. The mayhem just keeps on coming in this very funny, entertaining film.~ Lounge

stuff happens to them. Casting non-actors in major roles is a gamble at the best of times, but writer/director Warwick Thornton has come up trumps with Marissa Gibson. Her performance is full of grace and dignity, while at the same time hinting at an instinctive desire to break through the self-pitying parameters that Thornton has set for her – there is a fire within that is never allowed to burn. More problematic is Rowan McNamara’s Samson. He looks great and does all that is asked of him, which admittedly isn’t much, other than mope around sniffing petrol, but if he were a suburban homeboy you’d be tempted to suggest that he needs a good kick up the Kyber, or at least be told to get over himself. The character is not unlike Heath Ledger’s junkie in the awful Candy (2006), another darling of the flab-brained bourgeoisie, and I could find no sympathy for him, regardless of his deprived background. The shy romance is spiritually consummated one night as Delilah secretly watches the shirtless Samson lose himself in dance while the Latin music she has been listening to is gradually dubbed over his amplified R&B. It is an ethereal scene, the film’s Samson and Delilah best, and it makes you hope for Unlike Rolf De Heer’s Ten more to follow, but a stubborn Canoes (2006), this is not an insistence on wretchedness attempt at shining a long prevails. The kids’ lack of overdue light on indigenous dialogue also starts to wear culture. Rather, as cinema thin – there is only so much vĂŠritĂŠ, it is an in your face unspoken tenderness that you account of the realities of can be bothered with – and everyday life for a shameful when the reason for Samson’s number of first Australians. muteness is revealed, the train Samson and Delilah live in a wreck of bathos that you could remote community on their see coming a mile off is finally mob’s ancestral land.

As ever, the professors’ performances are a treat – Michael Gambon as wise old Dumbledore, multi-faceted Jim Broadbent as Slughorn, eye-popping Maggie Smith as Minerva McGonagall and scrumptious Helena Bonham Carter as the feral Bellatrix Lestrange (oh, for more of her). But it is Alan Rickman’s deep-voiced, black-shrouded and always menacing Snape who demands most attention (can you remember him on TV as Trollope’s reptilian Obediah Slope?). The drama, concerning Dumbledore’s urgency in preparing Harry for the challenge of saving Hogwarts, is easy to follow, with lots of teen romance humour – there was more laughter at the session I attended than in all the preceding movies combined – and a genuinely creepy incident with a bunch of cadaverous water ghouls, before an ending that is unforeseen and strangely nostalgic. This has been an enchanting series, doubtless owing to the continuity provided by Steve Kloves having written five of the six screenplays, and I for one will be keen to be there when Harry’s journey ends. ~ John Campbell

I won’t even need to remove the central ribs from my cavolo nero because they are slender enough to submit to gentle simmering in olive oil with garlic and a little chilli. Most of this evening’s dinner, then – I’ll poach some eggs for protein – plucked from the earth maybe eight hours ago, the fertile soil of the farm I visited in order to meet an organic farmer. Alasdair Smithson’s website informs us that he ‘is one of the first people to hold an Honours degree in Organic Agriculture’ but he never breathes as much as a word of this when we meet. All he says is that he has been involved in the organic industry for about 13 years, the last four in Australia and the more recent two here at the ReGenesis farm in Myocum. On a sparkling sunshiny winter’s morning the lush green fields stretch away endlessly, hills and dales and neat patchworks of gardens: ReGenesis is 120 acres of farm although only five of those are cultivated for the production of vegetables and another ten acres constitute a citrus orchard. A long time in the planning, Alasdair’s business Munch Crunch Organics started about five weeks ago and is an online certified organic fruit and vegetable home delivery service. Most of what he grows is leafy green vegetables, apart from the citrus – but in addition he works cooperatively with other o h r local organic farmers and they are able to n ttogether g offer o ffer a great range of produce All produce, tto o the t e region. e

furthermore, is sold within 100 miles of the farm. This cooperative concept means that both labour and machinery can be shared; it means too that a grower who may, for example, specialise in the cultivation of tomatoes (which Alasdair cheerfully concedes he does not) can join forces with him and assist in the diversification of the produce available to customers. Scotland-born, Alasdair grew up in rural areas. His interest in organic farming came about, however, by accident, when at the age of 21 he procured work at an organic farm in Devon down the road from where he lived. He became increasingly interested in it from that point onward – ‘I’ve always had a bit of a logical brain’, he admits – and reached a stage where he wanted to know more about ‘things like the soil’. So he enrolled in a BSc in Wales and proceeded to study Organic Agriculture. It’s a sometimes lonely oneman operation. He has three employees whom he uses three days a week and, despite the hundred-odd organic farms he’s worked on so far, continues to be challenged by ‘weather and wildlife’ here in Australia. A self-confessed workaholic who often works up to twelve hours a day, he also does both the Byron and Bangalow Farmers Markets, tending to graze rather than sit down to formal meals. (‘I grab a lettuce’, he tells me, white teeth flashing.) Alasdair’s boxes are available

for single-person households as well as families; they start from around $30 and delivery is free. Their contents change frequently, depending on the season and the weather, and delivery areas span from New Brighton to Ballina. There may be four or five types of lettuce, Asian greens, herbs, broccoli, cabbage, zucchini, leeks, sweet corn and rocket, silverbeet and

limes. And there’ll be cavolo nero, just in time for the pot of minestrone you mean to make. Alasdair’s website is www. munchcrunchorganics.com. au. He is looking for other land-holders interested in growing certified organic food and becoming part of the cooperative, and his email address is al@ munchcrunchorganics.com.au

GOOD FOOD, GOOD DEALS Bad news for those who love dinners at the Byron Beach Cafe: until next summer it is only open for breakfast and (albeit late) lunch, in view of catering commitments – although there will be special themed nights. Don’t be deterred: newish head chef Nathaniel Marshall is turning out seriously good food – try the amazing peasant potatoes with spinach and rouille or the lush buttermilk-marinated coriander chicken. And besides, there are so many other dining options around the place, and at this time of the year the best deals too. Olivo (two courses for $35), Byron at Byron (two courses plus glass of wine $42) and Fresca (3 courses plus coffee for $38) are only some examples; Ate at Bangalow has a $20 Early Bird dinner deal (main course plus drink). Byron’s quiet achiever Mokha Cafe has a new winter menu which features a great tasting plate – dips, arancini, prawns, fried haloumi – and the sublime 2003 Milkwood Shiraz, while Fishmongers has finally won council approval for dining in situ and their famously fabulous fish – so fresh it almost squeaks – now comes with perfectly cooked rice if you choose. Cafe one one one is inviting expressions of interest in a Dinner

Club whereby they will open for special food events in the evenings. And up the coast, Steve Snow is about to open two new dining venues at Salt Village – a Mediterranean restaurant and bar called Bellini and a gelateria/bar called Piccolo. This is a mere taste of winter offerings in the region and by no means comprehensive‌

CAFE OF IDEAS Throughout history, cafes were places where artists and intellectuals gathered to exchange ideas. Several years ago the concept of Cafe Scientifique – based on the French Cafe Philosophique – was introduced in the UK as an informal forum for discussions about scientific subjects. And now a Cafe Scientifique is coming to Byron Bay. Starting on Wednesday August 26 at the Bohemia Cafe, it will be moderated by writer/ biologist Mary Gardner and will feature ecologist Mark Garham in a discussion about his work with koalas. For the price of a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, anyone can join in – and the evening kicks off at 6.30pm.

Crankin’ what’s happening surfside

Shiners retain Ashes … just! The sun shone. A gentle breeze blew. Birds twittered in the trees and children toddled on the sidelines during a glorious Brunswick Heads afternoon at the Stan Thompson Sports Fields. All of these mere trimmings on the turkey in the peripheral vision of two great local rugby teams as they set themselves for battle: and they meant business! With the Ashes up for grabs on the spectacular winter day, Byron Bay hit the ground running and breached the Moonshiners defence in the opening minutes for a 7 -0 lead. A penalty goal shortly after had the Shiners faithful silently pondering losing the Ashes and any chance of finals action. The Shiners started like an old Kombi on a winter morning. They coughed, chugged and spluttered until they eventually warmed up and scored a try close to half time. Corey Strickland converted from the touch line to cut the gap to 3 points. In the second half Captain Mitch Taylor imposed himself on the game, Scotty Potts revelled in the number 8 and Corey maintained his kicking form with a second half penalty that levelled the scores. Neither side was able to land a knockout blow but a 10 all draw was enough for the Moonshiners to retain the Ashes. The Under 19s pulled off a gutsy 5-3 victory over Casino thanks to an opportunistic Corey Cornale try. It keeps them in the hunt for a finals birth. Next weekend sees both sides in must win away games, the seniors taking on Iluka and the 19s play Uni at Lismore. All players are expected at training at Bruns 6pm Wednesday. Phone Mitch Taylor on 0422 168 210 for Saturdays bus departure points and times.

Kirby Wright from Lennox Head, put in another great performance making the semi finals at the ASP Rated Fantastic Noodles Pro Junior in South Australia on Sunday. Kirby was defeated in her semi final by eventual winner Laura Enever and she finished the event in equal 3rd place overall. Kirby’s sister Tyler made the final and placed 2nd.

Lowrie salvages points from wreckage

Bangalow goes head to head with Iluka Cossacks

John Campbell

Bangalow travelled to Iluka hoping to put their frustrating season behind them with a solid performance against the Cossacks. Bangalow dominated the first 15 minutes with controlled forward and back play and scored an unconverted try through Chris Bleakley in the corner of a set play. Kerry Jennings kicked a penalty not long after, and there the score remained, 8-0. Poor discipline resulted in Bangalow losing its niggling number 8 for ten in the bin shortly before half time and the momentum was lost. Bangalow was ready to kick on in the second half, but a combination of relentless foul

play on and off the ball by the Cossacks, poor refereeing, endless mistakes by Bangalow and lack of fitness and mental application saw one of the worst displays of rugby witnessed on the north coast. Now placed in 2nd position, out of reach of the well drilled Yamba side, Bangalow needs to regroup for the remaining 4 games before the semis. This coming Saturday Bangalow takes on 3rd placed Evans River at the Bangalow sports fields at 2.30pm. It is sponsors and supporters day so bring along your friends and family to watch what should be a top game of grass roots rugby. For more information checkout www.bangalowrugby.com.

Mullum to Bruns

month’s event. This is the only Bangalow markets in the Early Bird period, which closes on Sunday August 9. You can also enter online or by post by visiting www.mullumtobruns.org.au. With less than 4 weeks to go, it’s now time to make a move!

‘The Byron coach has just pulled out the last hair on his head.’ Like most footy fans, the Old Bloke is wont to resort to hyperbole in moments of duress, of which there were too many to recall during Byron Bay’s grim 16-10 victory over Ballina in Sunday’s NRRRL clash at Red Devil Park. The home side had just squandered possession yet again – the sets they managed to complete you might have counted on Captain Hook’s fingers – and it was beginning to look like the sides would finish at 10-all, a result which would have flattered the inept Devils. As the siren neared, the game was there for the taking for the Seagulls, but they botched two field-goal attempts in as many minutes – one a sitter – and then watched in dismay as the Devils clicked into full-throttle gear for the only time on a frustrating afternoon. Running it on the sixth from forty out, full-back Brad Lees made the break that put Lachlan Flannery into space, the centre then sending the ball on to winger Bill Lowrie who crashed over in the corner to the immense relief of his converging teammates and the long suffering punters in the western outer. Most of what preceded the thrilling finale was dross. Leading 10-6 at the break after tries to Lowrie, from a neatly worked scrum move with Ryan O’Connell, and Corey Bond,

backing up Eli Colby’s weaving run, Byron were expected to emerge from the sheds with the clear-headed resolve and application that made them premiers. Instead, they ran around like headless chooks. Knockons, muddle-brained last tackle options and ineffective kicking – one clearing punt smashed into a red shirt in front of the kicker – all indicated a team that is out of sorts with itself (they were hammered last week by Cudgen). And it went from bad to worse as the Seagulls bustled and bothered and grew in confidence.

The hosts might whinge that Ballina stood off-side all day – the ten metres was, indeed, poorly monitored – but Byron’s inability to adapt to the challenge and rise above it was disappointing. ‘They don’t want to win this,’ the Old Bloke mused as yet another thoughtless pass was hurled to nonexistent support. On the bright side, there was no lack of effort in defence – Eddie Harrison made a number of pulverizing tackles and Lees crunched a Ballina forward on the line with a hit that rattled the Old Bloke’s dentures fifty metres away.

After the hooter, to their credit, the Devils took a minute to acknowledge the bellicose and unstinting support that they received throughout an arduous afternoon. The vital two points would have been ledgered into the account before the kick-off and the crowd’s contribution to the cause cannot be underestimated in getting their hapless heroes home. Earlier, the Reserves put in a much more lusty performance, featuring three splendid tries to winger Scott Staplyton, to defeat their high flying opponents by 26-10.

This year Mullum to Bruns Run and Walk will be a Waste Wise Event. At Banner Park, there will be additional bins provided for general waste and recycling, as well as the collection of organic matter for composting. Participants and spectators are encouraged to join in and make Mullum to Bruns a Green Event. So far, the oldest participant is Bruce Paine, aged 82, from Ocean Shores. Recently Bruce ran the Gold Coast Half Marathon and placed second in his age group. Organisers will be at the Bangalow markets this Sunday to accept entries and provide information about next

The World Transplant Games – life is the winner

Last year there were 259 organ donors in Australia. This resulted in 846 people receiving transplants. Currently there are 1764 Australians waiting for an organ transplant. www.echo.net.au

In August, 2,000 people from 50 countries will travel to the Gold Coast to compete in an event like no other – the World Transplant Games. The only qualifying rule for competing

is the very thing which makes them so remarkable. Every single athlete has received a life-saving organ transplant – heart, kidney, liver, pancreas, lungs, bone marrow or a combination – and all are back living healthy lives again. They compete for their country and to honour their anonymous organ donor, their life saviours. Set to be the biggest ever Games, the event is a festival celebrating renewed life through organ donation and transplantation. The Games are held biennially across the world, making these the 17th Games since their inception in 1978. Local transplant recipient Chris Healey is ready and set to go for the Gold Coast event. Chris received his ‘gift of life’ 5 years ago and is literally living proof of the choice to donate organs. ‘Receiving a new organ has allowed me to be a positive force in life,’ says Chris. ‘I am now able to pursue a new role in life as an artist. I am currently strengthening this passion by studying a fine arts diploma, while working part time at my past profession as an acupuncturist. I am also the primary carer for my aging mother.’

Chris won three gold medals in Perth last year in 5km and 1500m runs and the scrabble at the Australian Transplant Games, he also came 90th out of 4,600 runners in the recent Gold Coast Marathon when he competed in the 5 kilometre run. Chris plans to run both the 5k and the 1500m next month at the World Games. ‘Pursuing the games last year, was an exercise in meeting people with a commonality. I ended up swapping stories with an amazing bunch of survivors. I heard some fantastic stories of human spirit and I wrote down as many as of those adventures of emotion and positive outcomes as possible, as an inspiration for future art works and possibly the elusive great novel.’ The Games provide a goal for transplant recipients, an encouragement to keep a healthy lifestyle to increase the likelihood of long and successful transplants. Doctors worldwide encourage recipients to join the Games movement. The Games also aim to raise awareness of the worldwide shortage of organs which leave thousands of patients waiting and/or dying on waiting lists.

The Games embrace all ages, from four years to 85 years young, and all participants have received a solid organ transplant or bone marrow transplant at least one year prior, and are in good health. There are fourteen sports to choose from including track and field, swimming, cycling, ten-pin bowling, golf, tennis and badminton to name a few. Transplant Australia’s membership covers 3,600 recipients, 260 donor families, 225 living donors and almost 100 medical and health professionals with an interest in organ and tissue donation. In 2006 Games’ host and registered charity Transplant Australia won the right to host the 17th Games which will take place on the Gold Coast from August 22-30. For more information phone 1800 827 757 or email games@ transplant.org.au or visit: www. worldtransplantgames09.com Transplant Australia is calling for people to talk about organ and tissue donation with their loved ones and confirm their wishes to be an organ donor on their national register. In Australia visit the Australian Organ Donor Register www. donorregister.gov.au.

Dancers face academy challenge Over the past century, formalised classical ballet training has been widely introduced and is generally considered central to all professional dance aspirations. Its precision, discipline and skill has also been the foundation of the many branches and styles of dance. Several of Dance Dynamics students are about to participate in the annual Royal Academy of Dance Examinations. Dance Dynamics says it is the only certified RAD school in the Byron Shire and offers superior training in this advanced methodology. Dance Dynamics has a 100% pass rate record with the Royal Academy of Dance for its ten years of operation. ‘I get many calls from young performers who want a career

in the dance industry and unless they are willing to master ballet technique they are severely limited their professional aspirations,’ says ex professional dancer and principal of Dance Dynamics Kate Histon. With over 13,000 members spread across 83 countries, The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) is one of the largest and most influential dance education and training organisations in the world. RAD membership supports the advancement of dance and includes professional dancers, students, teachers, benefactors and friends. At whatever age or stage, anyone with an appreciation of classical ballet and jazz is able to participate in the work of the Academy. Students pictured
