Heathland remnant ‘at risk from estate’ Murray Simpson

Cabarita residents up in arms over a foreshore caravan park proposal now also want a residential scheme development called Sandalwood Estate scrapped.

Both are proposed for Crown land in plans drawn up by the NSW Land and Property Management Authority (LPMA) and the Tweed Coast Holiday Parks Reserve Trust.

A packed meeting of nearly 400 at the Cabarita Sports Club this week were told the land in question represented virtually the last remnant of wallum wet and dry heath on the Tweed coast.

A total of six speakers addressed the meeting, organised as an information session for residents.

Determined to oppose both developments The treasurer of the Cabarita Beach Bogangar Residents Association, Suzi Bourke, said some telling facts about the importance of the heathland emerged at the meeting and the association was now determined to oppose both developments.

Only 0.4 per cent of the Tweed’s wallum heath remained and was far too valuable to be lost, she said, and harboured over 500 species of plants.

While the association was on the warpath against the schemes, Ms Bourke said Dunecare activist and association member Ashley Baldry was also organising an alternative draft plan for the area.

This included an eco-trail for 2.5km down to Hastings Point.

Association president Cath Lynch told the meeting the figures did not stack up.

She said while a caravan park of between 200 and 230 sites was planned for the 8.3-hectare Cabarita site, the refurbishment of other council parks on the coast would result in a nett gain of only 47 additional tourist sites at a forecast expenditure of $46 million.

Ms Lynch said the proposal for the holiday park east of the Coast Road south of Norries Headland had come as a shock and disappointment as locals had been fighting the development since 1998.

The residential Sandalwood Estate project, for 37 homes and ‘additional townhouses’ on two sites covering around five hectares, is to be managed by the state government agency (LPMA) and is adjacent to an existing residential estate at the entrance to Sandalwood Avenue.

A joint press release by the LPMA and the trust said all three sites ‘have long been reserved for public utilities, with the eastern parcel previously earmarked for the development of a holiday park, and the western side zoned for residential development’.

Ms Lynch says the association feared the park would not be financially viable for ratepayers and it would compromise the only leashfree beach between Kingscliff and Pottsville.

She also raised the issue of surf lifesaving there, questioning who would run and pay for the surf rescue service.

But reserves trust manager Richard Adams said the existing land had been substantially modified and degraded by previous land uses, including mineral sand mining and unauthorised camping, fire starting and rubbish dumping.

In a spin Gold Coasters Joanne Groombridge and Valda Sprague whoop it up outside Sunday’s ‘Dance party for Queensland flood victims’ fundraiser at the Tweed Heads Civic Centre, put on by Cooly Rocks On festival organisers. Joanne said over $5,000 was raised on the night with a full house. ‘There were no spare seats, it was brilliant,’ she said. The lineup included rock and roll performers, dancers and classic cars which will also feature in the inaugural Cooly Rocks On festival from June 3-13, which replaced the old Wintersun rock ‘n’ roll nostalgia festival.

Dual reticulation ‘should be a must’ Luis Feliu

The first two development applications (DAs) lodged with Tweed Shire Council to create 1,000 lots at the massive Cobaki Estate project has come under fire for a lack of dual reticulation to save water.

Tweed environmentalists maintain that dual reticulation for Cobaki and other major housing projects in the continued on page 2 pipeline would negate the need for

any new dam being pushed by mayor Kevin Skinner.

Greens councillor Katie Milne said she was disappointed to see the Leda Developments’ DAs did not, as was anticipated, provide for dual reticulation plumbing which would deliver both drinking and reclaimed (reused) water to each lot on the 594-hectare site on the Tweed side of the border west of Coolangatta airport.

When classical violinist Skye McIntosh and her quintet of friends perform at the Tweed River Art Gallery this month, it will be a homecoming of a special kind.

Skye is a Murwillumbah girl carving a stellar career on the international concert circuit.

She studied at Uki Primary School and Murwillumbah High, then at the Queensland Conservatorium before heading overseas to London’s Royal Academy and life as a professional musician.

Back in Australia for the past two years Skye, 32, has become a regular member of the Brandenburg Orchestra and this year tours with them to Italy, the Netherlands and the UK, returning later for a recital at London’s Handel House.

In the course of her playing career she met the young Australian musicians who form the quintet: Rowena Crouch, cello, Jacqueline Dossor, double bass,

Brenda Jones, piano and James Eccles, viola. The group are close friends and she is delighted to bring them to the Tweed.

Her ties here remain strong – she is the daughter of local jazzman Kel McIntosh, 86, who still teaches saxophone and appears regularly at the Luffley Café and other venues.

‘I always wanted to play the violin, for as long as I can remember,’ says Skye. ‘It was

probably the fact that dad played and there was always music in the house.’

The concert, at 6.30pm on Sunday, February 13, features works by Brahms and Schubert and is the first in the 2011 Gallery Series presented jointly by the Tyalgum Festival Committee and the Friends of the Tweed River Art Gallery. Tickets cost $35 and can be booked by phoning 6679 2244.

‘An initial environmental assessment found the proposed holiday park site to have limited environmental significance,’ he said.

However, residents strongly reject this assessment, claiming sensitive ecosystems are in danger from the proposal (see panel, right).

Mr Adams said if the plan went ahead, the trust would ‘mandate a more thorough environmental examination be undertaken’.

says Cabarita Dunecare co-ordinator Ashley Baldry.

‘At the moment we’re just getting developers’ spin that there’s nothing of value there,’ he said. ‘Nothing could be further from the truth.’

Mr Baldry, who addressed this week’s community meeting, said the site of the proposed foreshore caravan park was occupied by remnant banksia forest while across the road the proposed Sandalwood housing estate was home to some of the

in the banskia forest, he said – the collitris pine and the geodorum orchid. The foreshore was also a feeding area for the blossom bat and the endangered glossy black cockatoo. The beach was also a nesting area for sea turtles.

Across the road the wallum heath was home to some specialised frog species as well as a profusion of plant species.

A public dune walk has been organised for Saturday starting at Norries Headland at 10am.

ideal development for dual reticulation, especially with the price of water going up and up,’ Cr Milne said.

‘It’s not that expensive from a development point of view, around $1,100 per lot, but when you talk of the huge profits being made from this project alone, surely it would not be too much to have it included.

‘The developer had proposed this before but now it’s been left out and it seems like negotiations have broken down and nothing is being done about saving water; it’s business as usual.’

Cr Milne said council could ‘easily include it in its demand management strategy and mandate for it.’

‘Here we are worried about water saving with a new dam being proposed yet this would negate the need for any new dam. It’s obviously an easy water-conservation method and we’re not using it.

council for these large subdivisions; even if the pipes are not hooked up, they can still be laid, as it would be unviable to retrofit them.

‘This is an opportunity to defer any new dam with around a 1,300 megalitre saving just on Cobaki alone. The regional strategy and even council’s own integrated water management cycle encourages dual reticulation for new developments such as these, so why the hell aren’t they mandated?’

Cr Milne said she was also disappointed that no ‘permeable pavements’ to improve water quality runoff were included for the Cobaki subdivisions in the DAs. ‘It was done in the Salt and Casuarina estates, and it could easily have been incorporated into the Cobaki one,’ she said.

‘Why we’re not using it baffles me especially given that the Terranora and Cobaki Broadwaters are so polluted from ur-

not only conserve water but improve the water quality there and not degrade it further; the two go hand in hand.’

A spokesman for Leda Developments told The Echo that the issue was ‘exhaustively considered in conjunction with council sewer and water engineers’ and suggested council general manager Mike Rayner should be asked.

However, Mr Rayner referred The Echo to an answer to a question by Cr Milne at the December council meeting in which director of natural resources David Oxenham said a third pipe option (dual reticulation) was not mandated by council but was ‘encouraged’.

‘The developers of Kings Forest and Cobaki did not support the idea of a dual reticulation system within their development,’ Mr Oxenham had said, adding that the regional strategy ‘does not mandate dual reticulation’. www.tweedecho.com.au

Greyhound racing track bid opposed Murray Simpson

Greyhound racing on the Tweed may go the way of the dinosaurs if an application to build a new track in Murwillumbah fails to be approved.

But at least one animal welfare group is determined the new venture will not go ahead.

Soaring overheads at longtime Tweed institution Border Park have forced the owners, the Tweed Heads Coursing Club, to find an alternative venue.

‘Otherwise there are grave doubts about the club’s future,’ said Coursing Club secretary Stephen McGrath.

‘Overheads have gone through the roof – we’re getting our water from Queensland –

so we’ve had the Border Park site on the market for the past 18 months.’

Mr McGrath said they are pinning their hopes on building a new track on industrial land in Lundberg Drive in South Murwillumbah’s Wardrop Valley Road industrial area.

A formal application has been lodged by planning consultants City Planners of Surfers Paradise on behalf for developers Landsolve.

Landsolve, a subsidiary of Equititrust, has in turn lodged the development application on behalf of the coursing club, said Landsolve project manager Alisa Gilmore.

But the $5.6 million project at Murwillumbah has hit a storm of protest from Friends

of the Hound, an animal welfare group dedicated to re-homing greyhounds no longer fit for racing.

‘Our principle objection is the wanton wastage of dogs,’ said group secretary Lisa White of Stokers Siding.

‘Every year some 20,000 dogs are put down – either pups that don’t prove up to scratch for racing or older dogs that are past their prime. They don’t get a chance to see out their natural lives ‘I’m sure if that number of poodles or labradors were put down each year there would be a huge uproar.’

Ms White said her organisation had a number of dogs awaiting a home.

‘But we can’t cope with the

volume being generated by the racing industry.’

A petition circulated by Friends of the Hounds has attracted at least 800 signatures.

However, the race track applicants say the Murwillumbah site is a good compromise.

City Planner director Col Little said it was off the floodplain yet still close to a high population density. The facility would provide a track, clubhouse, judging box, car parking and kennels for dogs.

Mr Little said he could not comment on the ethical issues raised by Friends of the Hound.

‘Whether it’s greyhound racing or cockroach racing that’s a completely separate issue.

No doubt there will always be people who will object.’

Tyalgum fashion strides on to city catwalk Kate McIntosh

Tyalgum is a world away from Australia’s fashion capital, but an emerging talent who has set up shop may yet put the small village on the map.

In a coup, local fashion designer Byron McGilvray has been selected to showcase his work at Sydney Fashion Week in May. It’s a big step up for the former volunteer who once worked backstage at the event.

He hopes the exposure will see his Illuminati label in boutique fashion shops and major chains around Australia.

‘I’m very excited to get this exposure, because being out in the country it can be hard, you don’t get a lot of foot traffic,’ he said. ‘Getting your designs in trendy boutiques or major department store chains means that you’re stable.’

Originally from Bellingen on the NSW mid north coast, Byron has previously worked in New York and London.

The 26-year-old opened his women’s fashion boutique House of Canelli about seven months ago.

Although he concedes Tyalgum is an unusual choice, he

says he draws inspiration from the relaxed lifestyle and picturesque surroundings.

‘Country has always been in my heart,’ he said.

Byron was one of three designers selected to appear at Fashion Week after being invited to enter a competition being run by his former college – Raffles School of Design in Sydney.

As part of the competition, Byron was asked to create a conceptual design over the

course of a six month period.

His final design – a silver leather jacket – was created with plastic to look as if it is permanently wet with raindrops and features a series of reflective concertinaed panels when turned inside out.

Constructed from optical fibre fabric, the jacket is powered by close to 300 LED lights which were meticulously soldered together.

Byron says as part of his concept he plans to explore the

contrast between light and dark with the use of leathers and silks and details, including pleats and studs.

Byron, who originally applied to study architecture, says he enjoys the creative outlet and freedom of expression that fashion design affords.

‘I like the innovation and pushing the boundaries, of coming up with something new, but looking into the old and revamping it with that modern touch,’ he said.

Dressage pad kicks up bit of a stink Luis Feliu

A Dungay couple who built an equestrian dressage arena with state government approval for it are now fending a second Tweed Shire Council push to dismantle it as a result of neighbours’ continued complaints that it could increase flooding on their properties.

Leanne and Darryl Colby claim a longrunning dispute with one of their neighbours whose cattle continually strayed onto their farmlet on Tomewin Road led to the original complaint.

Council staff at first were wary of the complaint against the dressage pad, believing animosity between the neighbours led to it, and after various inspections in 2008 agreed the 70-metre by 20-metre equestrian pad met council requirements and did not need a development application (DA).

Insignificant size Council’s general manager late in 2008 wrote to them saying the size of the pad, representing one per cent of the ten-hectare property, was insignificant and ‘extremely unlikely’ to adversely affect local flood levels or neighbouring land.

The arena was then built on the pad at a cost of around $37,000 but the complaints from neighbours kept coming and council reopened the matter early last year when it was found the completed pad was a little higher than at first envisaged.

In July last year, Mrs Colby addressed council’s public

access session, telling councillors they had lived at the property for 13 years and their lives revolved around horses and the pad was needed to train her horses for dressage ­competitions.

She said the variation in height of the pad was due to the undulating nature of the land with the average overall height of 650mm within the approved scale that the Department of Water and Energy had approved.

She said that despite making council aware at all times of the nature of the pad, they had been subjected to ongoing complaints to council for two years and had felt harassed by ‘what we perceive as the complainant’s abuse of council processes’.

Council, she said, had as a result demanded a DA and flood-impact assessment for

the work, threatening legal action if they failed.

But on December 14 last year, after receiving legal advice, council resolved to drop any further action against the couple, and the Colbys thought the issue was behind them.

Decision rescinded Then only weeks later at the most recent (January 18) meeting, councillors went behind closed doors and rescinded the decision 5-2 (Crs Dot Holdom and Warren Polglase against).

The councillors also resolved to hold a workshop with the Colbys, their neighbours and the Tweed Canegrowers Association, which had been enlisted in the dispute against the Colbys, but the Colbys say they won’t have a bar of it and will ignore the move.

‘Council has totally backflipped on their earlier decision.

We feel we’ve been hounded and bullied. What can possibly be achieved by this workshop?’

Mrs Colby told The Echo.

‘It’s not about flooding impacts; it stems from a longrunning dispute with our neighbour over his cattle straying onto our property. He would ignore our complaints to take them out and we had to get a council ranger to impound them, then one day I’d had enough and gave him a mouthful and it wasn’t long before the complaints about the fill for the pad started.’

The neighbour, when contacted by The Echo, declined to comment.

Cr Katie Milne, who led the charge to rescind the council decision in order to pursue the matter, said she was always concerned when there was filling on the floodplain and understood the ‘sensitivity of cane farmers’ after dealing with them in her successful fight against a huge marina at Chinderah some years ago.

Cr Milne said she believed the pad could force water over the creek to a neighbouring cane farm, the owner of which had also complained against it. But Mrs Colby said the cane-farm land nearest to their property had recently been filled and would not be adversely affected by the pad’s impacts on water flows.

Cr Milne also said that, unlike the Colbys, the complaining farmers had ‘been there for ever’ and she did not consider the dressage arena an activity ancillary to an agricultural pursuit.

Red alert again for blue-green algae Luis Feliu

A ‘red alert’ has been issued for toxic blue-green algae in Clarrie Hall Dam in the Tweed catchment, just over a year after a similar alert was issued for the dam storage.

North Coast Regional Algal Coordinating Committee spokesperson Brian Dodd said that people should avoid all contact with water under a red alert.

People using the dam for recreation and farming purposes are advised to be aware of the situation.

Mr Dodd emphasised there was no impact on drinking water supplies to residents connected to the town water supply.

He said that the bloom occurred despite recent heavy rainfall in the area because nutrients from farmland stock and native animals upstream

had washed down into the storage area.

‘A cocktail of nutrients has washed into the dam and we know that a big nutrient load and hot weather sets it off,’ he told The Echo.

In September 2009, a similar red alert was issued for the dam, but was lifted two months later.

Mr Dodd said recent routine sampling by Tweed Shire Council had detected high levels of blue-green algae in the dam and warning signs have been positioned around the dam and will remain in place until the bloom subsides.

Some locals in the past have blamed cattle from an adjoining farm drinking and defecating in the dam as partly responsible, but council tries to ensure stock does not stray into the fenced-off dam foreshore.

‘Livestock owners are re-

minded to continue to check stock water supplies for signs of blue-green algae and to remove stock from foreshores where surface scum is visible or where blue-green algae are suspected,’ Mr Dodd said.

Blue-green algae can cause skin rashes, asthma and eye and ear irritations if contacted and diarrhoea and other health problems if ingested. Animals can become very sick as a result of drinking water affected by blue-green algae and there have been cases of animal deaths.

People should not eat mussels or crayfish from red alert warning areas. Any fin fish caught should be cleaned and washed thoroughly in uncontaminated water and any internal organs disposed of before consumption.

Council’s water manager Anthony Burnham said good flows in the Tweed River have

ensured the river has not been affected between the Doon Doon Creek junction, through Uki to the Bray Park Weir.

Council extracts water from the Tweed River for the village of Uki and from Bray Park Weir for most of the Tweed’s public water supply.

‘If the river flow slows significantly in coming weeks, there is potential for algal levels to increase in the river,’ Mr Burnham said.

‘Council will closely monitor blue-green algae levels at these points, provide further notification and, if required, start using doses of Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC) to ensure the safety of the water supply.’

Not on the beachfront It was never a good idea to propose a new caravan park on beachfront land, not in this day and age when such beachfront amenity is at a premium and conservation is seen as a higher priority than recreation for travellers.

The Echo is not surprised then that a groundswell of opposition is growing against the plans to build a 200-plus site caravan park on the southern side of Norries Headland at Bogangar/Cabarita and a residential subdivision for 37 new homes across the road.

The main driver for both these plans seems to be a moneymaking one for the Tweed Coast Holiday Park’s Reserve Trust (run by Tweed councillors on behalf of the state government) to, ostensibly, maintain the shire’s crown reserves for the NSW Land and Property Management Authority (the old Crown lands department).

Along the eastern seaboard, caravan parks were mainly built by private or government operators next to a beach or waterway for recreation, but natural erosion and floods since have played havoc with many and they are not such a good idea anymore.

A case in point is the Kingscliff Beach caravan park run by the trust, which is facing severe erosion from storm surges and may have to be protected with controversial and expensive groynes.

This was a big worry a couple of months ago, so what have councillors learnt from this? Zilch, as this new proposal seems to indicate.

Cabarita business people obviously want more customers through their doors and some see these new proposals as a boon for the future, but if they’re not making ends meet now then there’s no hope for them if they have to rely on something yet unbuilt.

People will still stay in caravan parks away from the beachfront; the successfully run private ones dotted throughout the Tweed, especially in Chinderah, attest to this.

Now we have the locals, instead of the state’s ‘land management’ authority, telling us the biodiverse wallum heathland is one of the shire’s last remnants of such an ecosystem and is therefore too valuable to be lost, with more than 500 species of plants.

The local school and Dunecare groups also have spent much time and effort replanting the once-degraded northern end of the beachfront site which will also no doubt suffer from hundreds of caravan park residents and their dogs trampling through it.

The reserve trust should take a reality check on this plan and look at another entirely different location for such a tourist park.

It won’t stop people wanting to visit the Tweed Coast. Centralised town caravan parks are also popular.

The land in question should be preserved as a buffer for conservation and to act as a break from the urban sprawl/ribbon development fast encroaching along the Tweed Coast.

EDING HELP WITH A MEDICAL MATTER?

O

nce again, our Prime Minister has done a reverse King Midas; it was meant to be a gold nugget, but instead it’s just a turd.

Presented by the floods with an opportunity for the kind of national leadership and decisive action that could have reinvigorated her floundering government, she has once again opted for caution, compromise and timidity.

Her embrace of a levy to pay for a portion – not all – of the Commonwealth’s reconstruction program is not only bad economics, but utterly misguided politics.

She has opted for a large amount of pain with the prospect of very little gain. The levy is expected to raise just $1.8 billion – a piddling amount in the overall budget context, and less than a third of the projected $5.6 billion the Commonwealth will actually spend on rebuilding roads, railways, bridges and other essential infrastructure.

Given that the other $3.8 billion is to come out of cutting or deferring current programs it is simply not credible that further savings could not be found – indeed, Julia Gillard has said that they will be, if, as is likely, the $5.6 billion estimate blows out. Well, if then, why not now? Tony Abbott has cheekily offered his help in locating the extra dollars, but it is surely a job Wayne Swan and Penny Wong could manage on their own. Instead, they have the unpalatable task of selling the idea of a levy which most commentators regard as unnecessary and which the public clearly resents – although it will cost voters next to nothing.

For starters, most people – those earning less than $1000 a week – won’t pay it at all and it is only those who are getting close to $2000 a week who will

be up for the cost of a cup of coffee. At $3000 a week the long-suffering punters will pay a princely $15, leaving a bare $2985 for the necessities of life.

Yet the tabloids, and even the ABC, insist on describing it as a ‘tax slug’. Give us a break.

But this featherweight impost is widely resented by large sections of the population.

Abbott describes it as a ‘tax on mateship’, which is clearly

aster fund. They will probably come to the party eventually, but there will, as always, be a price. Once again Gillard will end up looking weak.

She was, of course, supposed to look tough and in control.

Her Australia Day message was: ‘Don’t let go.’ And she hasn’t – the promise to get the budget back into surplus by 2013 is still immutable, no matter what.

This commitment has received

There is no doubt that many of those who have contributed to the various relief appeals resent the idea that they are being asked to pay twice.

by Mungo MacCallum absurd; but there is no doubt that many of those who have contributed to the various relief appeals resent the idea that they are being asked to pay twice. It is no good explaining, as Gillard has attempted to, that the new levy is for an entirely different purpose; the charities are for direct assistance to flood victims while the Commonwealth has to cover the less glamorous task of rebuilding the public infrastructure. It still feels like double dipping, and we all know that’s unAustralian.

And all this, of course, assumes that the levy is going to get through the parliament; incredibly it now appears that Gillard failed to negotiate with the Greens and independents before announcing it, and they are now engaged in a barrage of public nit-picking, using the issue to push their power agendas. The Greens are angry that the savings have concentrated on knocking off climate change projects and the independents want a permanent natural dis-

praise from conservative commentators and The Australian, thus proving conclusively that it is not in Labor’s best interests.

Once again, the government has submitted to fighting on its opponents’ ground. But at least she does not suffer from the full-blown death wish which afflicts her state counterpart, Kristina Ken­eally. The NSW Premier greeted the announcement of a levy with a plea for the poor, put-upon residents of her home state. They were suffering, she explained, from the high cost of living, especially in Sydney; surely they could be spared the levy on compassionate grounds?

Decades of Labor government in what was once the premier state have stuffed up land policy, transport policy, tax policy and everything else so badly that conditions are now truly desperate; the residents are no longer able to forgo that extra weekly cup of coffee to help repair the worst natural disaster in the country’s history.

nteresting as all this is, it seems somewhat parochial compared to what is happening overseas, especially in Egypt.

The immediate reaction is one of pleasure and hope; at last the oppressed are rising against the loathsome and corrupt Hosni Mubarak and his murderers and torturers. Long live people power.

But unhappily it is not quite as simple as that. We have been here before. The overthrow of the Shah of Iran seemed, at the time, like a pretty good idea – until his replacement, the Ayatollah Khomeini, set up a religious dictatorship that has proved even more oppressive than its predecessor and considerably more dangerous to the rest of the world.

Nobody liked Saddam Hussein in Iraq much, either; but his removal has resulted not in democracy, but in an ongoing struggle between religious sects seeking absolute power.

The same could easily happen in Egypt, where the Muslim Brotherhood, a gang (there is no other word) of fundamentalists, looks the only group sufficiently organised to fill the power vacuum which would result from the downfall of Mubarak.

And this is the catch. However horrible the current tyrant of Egypt may be, he is (like his equally unlovable counterparts in Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and even Pakistan), essentially a secular ruler; he has to be, to retain power. He is, of course, a Muslim, but he is not an extremist; indeed, he is a bulwark against extremism, which is one reason (though not the only one) why he retains the support of the United States.

The lesser of two evils; better the devil we know… it may be questionable morality, but it is Realpolitik.

Learning to handle the power of flowing water and water storage.

There are those who wish to stifle debate on this issue. Perhaps they would oppose anything suggested by the federal opposition leader or pro-development members of council. I am a person who has traditionally supported the notion of respecting natural systems and limiting human intervention.

Despite this, I support the idea of commissioning a thorough cost-benefit analysis of the second dam proposal that takes into account environmental, economic, social and cultural factors Lastly, on the issue of being better informed, I think it is time to recognise the significant work done in recent months by the Bureau of Meteorology, the SES and our national broadcaster – the ABC. The people who kept the BOM site up to date, the SES controllers and the ABC broadcasters who gave 24 hour coverage of the flood disaster worked tirelessly to keep us properly informed.

In the cold, hard light of day we need to be better informed.

We also need to adjust our lifestyles to a beautiful, unique and Robert Franzos sometimes harsh environment.

The brouhaha about the flood levy is a political windup of the worst kind. Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey just demonstrate their complete inability to work with the government regardless of the fact that sometimes we need to stretch ourselves when we are confronted by major disasters.

Reality is that the flood levy should become a permanent fixture but with a different name. Australia will always suffer from weather extremes, we will always have climate disasters of one kind or another. We need to have a fund ready to go when these strike.

The reality for Tweed residents is that only five per cent of this shire earns $50,000 a year or more, so 95 per cent will not have to pay a penny of the proposed levy.

Tony Abbott would have you believe this is another ‘Great Big Tax’. His willingness to politicise good ideas demonstrates just once more that he is only about political power for himself, and not the empowerment of the nation to correctly deal with the future by making provision for those inevitable events. n

Watercourse flooding areas are usually where small crops are grown in order to take advantage of silt deposits in flood time. The gradual opening-up of vacant blocks of land as they are not built on after floods demolish houses is in accord with small-scale sustainable agriculture being more able to feed surrounding populations with reduced food-mile footprints.

Secondly, the Leader of the Federal Opposition, Tony Abbott, has suggested more dams because they can mitigate flood damage. He is being reactive rather than looking deeper into the issues. We have just been through a major drought. Flooding straight afterwards means huge losses of topsoil on a continent that is known to have a comparatively thin topsoil. Professor Jared Diamond in his book, Collapse – Examining How Societies Choose to Fail or Survive, has said, ‘While 60 per cent of Australia’s land area and 80 per cent of its human water use are dedicated to agriculture, the value of agriculture relative to other sectors of the Australian

economy has been shrinking to the point where it now contributes less than three per cent of the gross national product.

That’s a huge allocation of land value. Further, it is astonishing to realise that over 99 per cent of that agricultural land makes little or no contribution to Australia’s economy. It turns out that about 80 per cent of Australia’s agricultural profits are derived from less than 0.8 per cent of its agricultural land.’

That does not mean it is wise policy to import food. It means that more of the population will need to work blocks of agricultural land as though soil mattered. Soil fertility generally equals soil friability equals soil water absorption ability.

Plants also aid water absorption. It is known that forested areas ameliorate flood events, whereas degraded land increases them. Denuded, poor soil, becoming more frequent in Australia, sends heavy rain straight to watercourses.

New LEP threatens key infrastructure

Would now be a good time to mention that the site of the proposed mini-city, at Kings Forest, near Kingscliff, is its own catchment area, and is subject to flash flooding?

Any hope of emergency services getting in, either for flooding or fire, would be quickly lost if the only access road goes.

Considering what has happened in Queensland lately, with development on flood plains, surely this issue should be more than a passing reference in the report.

Would we be doing people a favour by not letting them build there? I think so. The koalas are very important, but at least they can climb, if they have any trees left.

In a statewide gift to developers by the NSW Government, public facilities across this state are being directed away from local council special use zonings (that protect them from sale and redevelopment) to residential and commercial zonings.

Forcing councils to rezone their schools, hospitals, town halls, police stations, nurseries, etc will hand an incoming coalition government the capacity for a statewide sell-off of public land. This means government land can be sold off without going through public scrutiny or consultation.

NSW planning laws must protect public facilities or we will face longterm structural failure.

The Greens are calling for a statewide boycott by local councils of the new Local Environmental Plan to stop the Department of Planning from priming NSW’s key infrastructure for sell-off.

Labor and the coalition need to learn that NSW is not for sale.

From the fourth century B.C. the Romans engaged in an annual young man’s rite of passage to the god Lupercus. The names of teenage women were placed in a box and drawn at random by adolescent men; thus, a man was assigned a woman companion, for their mutual entertainment and pleasure (often sexual), for the duration of a year, after which another lottery was staged.

Determined to put an end to this 800 year-old practice, the early church fathers sought a ‘lovers’ saint’ to replace the deity Lupercus. They found a likely candidate in Valentine, a bishop who had been martyred some two hundred years earlier.

Singles Valentines Celebrations

Currumbin RSL and Carmel Lowe from Letz Get 2gether have joined forces again to bring you a singles cocktail party over the Valentines Day weekend. Held in the privacy of the upstairs Function Room, the event includes live entertainment, dinner, drink on arrival, professional host, prizes and more.

Carmel has been running singles events all over the coast for years, and states ‘these events are a way for people to build their circle of friends. I like to have age specifications because it leads to likeminded people coming together. If the age were open it could mean you’d have 18-year-olds trying to connect with 80-year-olds and they probably wouldn’t have too much in common’.

This event is for those aged between 40 and 60.

‘Although this is not a dating service, there have been several romantic relationships blossom and many friendships from past events. The private Function Room is the perfect setting for a relaxed group affair and the water views from the private balcony are just lovely,’ says Carmel. Saturday February 12 from 6.30pm. $45 Club members and $50 nonClub members.

entin e s Day Valen t i ne s D a y In Rome in A.D. 270, Valentine had enraged the mad emperor Claudius II, who had issued an edict forbidding marriage. Claudius felt that married men made poor soldiers, because they were loath to leave their families for battle. The empire needed soldiers, so Claudius, never one to fear unpopularity, abolished marriage.

Valentine, bishop of Interamna, invited young lovers to come to him in secret, where he joined them in the sacrament of matrimony. Claudius learned of this ‘friend of lovers,’ and had the bishop brought to the palace. The emperor, impressed with the young priest’s dignity and conviction, attempted to convert

History also claims that while Valentine was in prison awaiting execution, he fell in love with the blind daughter of the jailer, Asterius.

Healthy weight helps with healthy mind

A new Australian study has found middle-aged Australians carrying excess weight are more likely to be anxious and depressed than their healthy-weight counterparts. Queensland-based researchers collected data on the physical and mental health of more than 1,200 volunteers, grouping them according to their weight and mental health.

Obese participants, who were aged 45 to 54 years, were more likely to report that emotional problems had affected their work or social activities, and were less likely to have felt calm and peaceful in the month prior to the study, compared with normal-weight and overweight participants.

Dietitians Association of Australia spokesperson Lisa Renn said carrying too much weight affects physical health and poorer health is linked with anxiety, depression and lower levels of wellbeing.

She said a five to ten per cent reduction in weight from a baseline starting weight can make all the difference.

‘If you’re 100kg, losing 5–10kg will pay off. So for a healthier, happier 2011 kick-start the year with some small changes, which will add up over time,’ said Ms Renn.

The Dietitians Association of Australia’s tips for ‘feeling tops’: • Start with the right fuel. A healthy breakfast can help you think clearer, concentrate better and feel more energetic. It will also make you less likely to overeat later in the day.

• Move to feel good. Moving is a trigger for your body to release feel-good hormones (endorphins). The more you move the better you will feel, so look for every opportunity to get more active.

• Become a ‘mindful eater’. Before reaching for food, think about whether you’re really hungry – or eating for another reason. And slow down while

FRIDAY 4

1. Based on a 1914 novella, the Bollywood musical Parineeta (SBS2, Friday, 9.30pm) tells a tale of love – what else? – in 1960s Calcutta.

2. A bunch of actors find themselves in a real firefight in Tropic Thunder (TEN, Saturday, 9.15pm), a spoof of Hollywood filmmaking. Good, but not as good as Galaxy Quest, in which Sigourney Weaver sends herself up wonderfully.

3. Sean Connery goes the – gasp! – ponytail while looking for a cancer cure in South America in Medicine Man (Prime, Sunday, 3.15pm). Another beaker of ayahuasca, please, Jeeves.

This week’s gang of planets in Aquarius feels a bit like the Tarot card of the Tower with its post-grad lessons in change and impermanence…

ARIES: Yes, you’re fortune’s favourites and this week’s energy is expansive, but respect communication protocols: ask people what they think before telling them what you know. Watch your enthusiasm doesn’t override those new luminaries entering your orbit, because right now teamwork’s your pathway to the stars.

TAURUS: This genial, gregarious week could be a soul nourisher for Taurans – when it’s not being impatient and argumentive. Ethical questions arise which insist on the larger rather than the personal, what’s in it for me picture, but late week new moon kicks in with the requisite perspective.

GEMINI: The middle path of moderation may not appeal this week when the urge to swap hot goss is tempting,

By end of week new moon you’ll be primed for a breakthrough – an inspirational solution to the knotty problem that’s been bothering you.

SCORPIO: The forces of disorder are giving us all a makeover. This week

GO!

you’re quite the dynamo, but others could take a strong and forceful stand too. As major rearrangements take place, aim for outcomes where everyone gets at least some of what they want.

SAGITTARIUS: This week’s divinely designed for fun, frolics and the frisky exchange of ideas. Just as well you’re in active, energised mode because existence looks set to rip the blinkers off a blind spot and drop a bombshell of brutal truth concerning what needs adjusting in your world.

CAPRICORN: Your mentor planet Saturn continues offering awareness of relationship imbalances that need correcting. Watch where your thinking might be getting a tad rigid because this week’s also about money, honey,

and that’s where you need to be at your best, smartest and most flexible.

AQUARIUS: Tactical planning, a clever operating strategy and teamwork are the things that will make this week’s dream work. Plus some hefty structural support from late week’s annual Aquarius new moon, your astrological window of opportunity for getting this year’s wish list out to destiny’s engineers.

PISCES: Lessonmeister Saturn is advising that increased efficiency and personal accountability in day-to-day dealings will bring more of the results you’re looking for. Staying locked in old stories is likely to elicit raised eyebrows, scant sympathy and the advice to move on. I couldn’t agree more.

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm In Mooroolbark, Victoria, last week, Bobby Cheng equalled a 46-year-old record by winning a second consecutive Australian Junior (U/18) Championship.

In winning his second title Cheng matched the record set by Bill Kerr in 1964/5, but at only 13 years of age Cheng has plenty of opportunities to take a third.

Melbourne’s Cheng, who was the World U/12 Champion in 2009, was chased all the way by Canberra’s Yi Yuan in one of the strongest fields in recent years.

There was a 50 per cent increase in entries over last year with the pre-teen U/12 and U/10 tournaments clearly the most popular events.

The following game sees Cheng outplay one of Australia’s top 12-year-olds in a first round match-up.

Mooroolbark AUS Junior 2011 White: B Cheng Black: A Dale Opening: Grunfeld 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.cxd5 Nxd5 5.e4 Nxc3 6.bxc3 Bg7 7.Bc4 c5 8.Ne2 0-0 9.0-0 Nc6 10.Be3 Qa5 10...Na5 11.Bd3 b6 is a more popular line.

11.Rb1 a6 12.Qc1 Rd8 13.Rd1 e6 14.dxc5!?

This capture is rarely effective in the Grunfeld and Dale reacts effectively.

14...Ne5 15.Bb3 Ng4 16.Nd4 Qc7 17.h3!

17.Bf4 Qxc5 would be too easy for Black.

17...Qh2+ 18.Kf1 Nxe3+ 19.Qxe3 Qh1+?

A miscalculation. After 19...Bd7, Black would stand well.

20.Ke2 Qh2 (See diagram) Too late Dale realises that 20...Qxg2 allows 21.Rg1 Qh2 22.Rg3! ensnaring the queen.

Punishment is immediate.

21.Nf5!! Qc7?!

21...Rxd1 22.Rxd1 exf5 loses to 23.Rd8+ Bf8 24.Qh6 but 21...Bd7 would have hung on.

22.Qg3! Qa5 23.Rxd8+ Qxd8 24.Rd1 Qe8 25.Ba4!

Variations on the same back rank theme.

25...Qf8 26.Nxg7 Kxg7 27.Qc7 b6 Desperation, but Black is otherwise tied hand and foot.

28.cxb6 Qa3 29.Be8 Qb2+ 30.Rd2 Qb1 31.Qxf7+ Kh6 32.Qf8+ Kg5 33.h4+ Kxh4 34.Qh6+ Kg4 35.f3+ Kg3 36.Qh3+ Kf4 37.Qg4+ 1-0 a

Or they smoked a little weed. dark for what felt like an hour but was probably only 15 minutes. But mainly people just got off on the vibe. No one was drunk.

There wasn’t a drop of alcohol in the place. If there had then the We couldn’t see it, but we could certainly hear it. A distant throbbing echoed in the forest like the heartbeat of some giant magic would have gone. The magic was there because there wasn’t any booze, just a bunch of whacky people dancing with creature. Finally we emerged. A couple of feral fairies wearing fluffy flares crouched around a chai pot in a makeshift teepee at open hearts. the entrance, gesturing that we make some sort of donation. I I am not a fan of doof music. In fact it gives me a headache, but left $4 and an angel card affirmation.

Doofs were about creating an experience for I felt like Alice when she fell down the rabbit hole. My eyes were people to come together outside of conventional club or pub scenes. Doofs were about what could happen without alcohol. I still adjusting to the darkness, making out writhing silhouettes don’t ever remember fights or glassings. The only injuries were everywhere. It was like walking into a giant shared acid trip. from hugs that lasted hours and someone pressing the wrong Even though I was straight I could feel the giant human pulse pressure point during an impromptu reflexology massage. bending my consciousness. It was so overpowering I had to sit down and just watch for the first few hours.

There were middle aged women gyrating, old performing the odd glassing; there are fights, broken glass, hippy blokes with their shirts off, beautiful young men laughing, discarded Bacardi Breezer bottles, and rubbish everywhere. dancing, rolling joints around fires.

Surely it’s an environmental assault on all the little critters who were just going about their own tiny little lives. But couldn’t you just clean up? The violence of smashed bottles and crushed beer cans in nature in the light of our environmental awareness is unbelievable.

This is the utopian hippy belt; we fed our kids organic vegetables, they wore hand-felted vests and were chemical free … until they grew up and started smoking ice and trashing the forest and each other. I am so tired of the violence. I am so tired of the lack of responsibility.

I don’t want to sound like some nasty old Nanna putting shit on the younger generation. You know, I don’t actually blame the kids. I blame us. Where are the adults? Where are the parents of these 13-, 14-, 15- and 16-year-olds who are getting out of their minds on booze? Who teaches their kids to become accountable for their behaviour? Teaches boys not to rape pretty girls when they’re out of it, or not to drive when they’re pissed?

Or to respect their bodies and their planet?

Parenting doesn’t stop once your child is 11 or 12. You actually are supposed to love and protect your child to adulthood. The legal age to drink is 18. The legal age to have sex is 16. That means there’s still a shitload of parenting to do. And it’s not pretty. These are still children. And these parties aren’t doofs.

They’re alcohol-fuelled anarchy. Letting your kids go there is akin to leaving an infant sleeping in the middle of the road: you’re not protecting them from danger.

So, next Australia Day maybe you should put that beer down and keep your kids at home, or maybe make yourself Designated Driver and go out dancing with them. Who knows, maybe if all we crusty oldies get off our wrinkled butts and start shaking a bit of Nanna titty the kids will want to stay home after all.

(In the next couple of weeks The Byron Youth Service and Buddi will be launching the Mobile Youth Outreach Service – funded from money from the Proceeds of Crime Act to be attending events like these so that at least someone will be looking out for our kids.)

and of very high quality with vast experience.

This month we kick off Courthouse Comedy at Mullumbimby’s Courthouse Hotel with a fundraiser for Obi McDonald-Saint of Mullum Mac. Comics and audience members have the opportunity of helping Obi, a self-confessed computer nerd, get on his bike with the Ride for the Rainforest, a 300k trek from the middle of Sri Lanka to Galle in the country’s south west. The ride is to raise money for the Plant a Rainforest Project, an initiative by KINDREAD FRIDAY AT THE Rainforest Rescue to assist in the planting of CABARITA BEACH BAR AND a rainforest around the perimeter of Sri Lanka’s last SATURDAY AT THE IVORY TAV ERN viable rainforest: The Sinharaja Reserve.

A Mullumbimby boy, Obi jokes that growing up with a name like Obi wasn’t unusual. There were four others in his class. But there was this one weird kid called John. Who would name their child after a toilet? Mandy Nolan heads the charge as MC for the evening as open mic comics take to the stage to brandish their latest fiveminute comedy routines. Exciting, shocking, embarrassing, and hilarious, you just never know what to expect. The show kicks off at 8pm on Thursday 3 February and entry as per usual is free. However there will be a small charity auction and a bicycle helmet will be passed around to help raise money and awareness for Obi’s quest. Help get rainforest on the ground and computer nerds on their bikes by coming to the Mullumbimby Courthouse on Thursday. You’ve nothing to lose...except maybe your innocence!

Dear Nick, Last week I caught a Grey Blubber Lip Bream, 3.2kg, or around 7lb, one of the biggest fish I’ve caught in the Tweed River.

I caught it where you caught the Bream near the mouth of the river. I caught it on a dirty old black prawn with a 2.0 hook and 4lb line. I could not believe it was in the river.

I’m sure they are a deep-sea fish. They fight like a Mangrove Jack, really TOUGH. I have not caught one in my life before.

The fish was also was one of the nicest fish Aunty T & I have tasted.

Thats what I LOVE about fishing... you never know what you will catch with a Taylor, J Barnes v K Dawson, D Whittington.

Australians should take stock of a rocky year past and set aside time to improve their understanding of financial market conditions to safeguard and improve their New Year personal financial outlook, according to Intouch Home Loans founder and CEO Paul Ryan.

Despite a strong dollar, improving housing market and a growing lending environment, Mr Ryan warns against ­complacency.

‘While the outlook for the year ahead looks healthier, this doesn’t necessarily equate to plain sailing. The hangover from 2010 is receding but with continuing higher unemployment, a struggling small business sector and multiple future interest rate hikes still on the cards, future uncertainty remains.’

Mr Ryan also points to the recent devastation of the Queensland floods as another cue for all Australians to not rest on their laurels and instead consider how they can be better educating themselves on the many options available to improve their financial well being.

‘Australians are well known for their philosophy of hard work and play. However the great Aussie notion of “she’ll be right mate” no longer stands true.

‘Lenders owe it to their customers and consumers owe it to themselves to take advantage of the plethora of financial information and independent advice available.

‘Armed with better knowledge, consumers will have the information and confidence to ask the tough questions they need to secure a healthier financial future.’

The home mortgage is the largest personal financial commitment that many Australians take on, but then often ignore, or worse, forget about. The recently proposed Government reform to eliminate exit fees on changing home loan providers provides another ‘health check’ opportunity for Australians wanting to ensure that their home loan is still providing maximum value.

In light of Wayne Swan’s proposed home loan shake-up, research conducted by CoreData for the Herald Sun at the end of last year showed 23 per cent of Australians with mortgages had already started looking around for a new financial institution.

Mr Ryan believes this to be unsurprising.

‘For too long Australian mortgage holders have been at the whim of the big banks. With new legislation about to challenge the lending status quo, diligent homeowners could be in line to save thousands of dollars per year.’

As a first step Mr Ryan recommends commissioning a financial planner to review current financial, asset and insurance positions. Once armed with

the facts Mr Ryan recommends home owners should challenge their existing loan provider to ask them what they are prepared to do to keep their business.

‘Let them know you are prepared to refinance and see if they are prepared to match it.

‘You may actually get an immediate 0.20 per cent or more reduction on the spot without even having to make the move.’

However if your lender is not prepared to compromise then consumers should be open minded enough to consider shopping around as the next option. There are many well regulated nonbanks, credit unions and building societies that offer lower interest rates then the banks and are receptive to tailoring financial packages that meet consumers needs.

On the role of financial institutions Mr Ryan said that in a fast-evolving marketplace it is imperative that lenders step up to the plate and acknowledge their duty in better educating and preparing their customers.

Mr Ryan advises that consumers wanting to make the move need also need to reassure their prospective home loan managers by taking at least their last six months of loan statements proving that they are a quality borrower. Physically providing the home loan provider with competitive quotes and interest rates will let them know that you are a bona fide and savvy prospect wanting the best deal possible.

‘While the banks are probably banking on most people not walking, if you can be bothered to do some research then you will find a better deal, resulting in peace of mind and potentially thousands of dollars saved,’ said Mr Ryan.

Tweed mayor Kevin Skinner is ‘making it all up’ when he talks about new dams and how they would stop floods, according to Greens councillor Katie Milne.

The local daily gave the mayor a free kick in the PR stakes recently with a big splash on how our mayor thinks a new dam, such as the one he’s proposing for Byrrill Creek, would ‘protect our future’. But Cr Milne says ‘The dam would do nothing for flooding, in the 1974 flood a million megalitres went over the top of the Bray Park weir yet the Clarrie Hall Dam holds 16,000 megalitres which is a drop in the ocean… unless he wants to put dams on every arm of the Tweed River, it just won’t work. He’s surely been told that by [council] staff but he just doesn’t want to know.

He’s not basing it on science, he’s just making it all up’.

Starts 12 February

Seems like our mayor, a former publican from western NSW, fears the Tweed will one day be in the grip of a huge drought and a new dam will save us all from it all, as well as save us from flooding by somehow controlling the flows from the dams into the already flooded waterways (figure that one out). Someone should tell our mayor he now lives in a subtropical region with plenty of annual rainfall and a drought such as the ones he experienced in Inverell or out west is rather unlikely here on the coast. Dams, he says, will protect us all from drought and flood – and presumably famine and pestilence as well.

state election, the Banora Point and District Residents Association has changed the date of its ‘Meet the Candidates’ forum to Monday, March 14, at the Banora Point Community Centre, Woodlands Drive, Banora Point, beginning at 7pm.

A sequel to the world rally run in the Tweed and Kyogle shires in 2009 was played out in Byron Bay courthouse on Monday this week, with former No Rally Group chief Scott Sledge and his partner Danielle Voinot defending a malicious damage charge against them. Some anti-rally slogans were painted on Kyogle Road just before the event and the defendants’ car was seen in the vicinity. The magistrate has adjourned the matter till February 18 for final submissions. n n n n Due to the late closing date We know police resources are for nominations for the March stretched and expect this case

has added to that cost, as well as tying up officers in court for days at a time. Then again, given the state government has already wasted millions on the rally (how many we have never been told), the use of muchneeded police resources pursuing some protesters over a relatively minor offence pales into insignificance. n n n n

A reader tells us the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has come up with research backing ‘the gut instinct that has driven us all to campaign for national parks for the past few decades’. The new study says national parks play a pivotal role in saving Australian wildlife. The WWF and University of Queensland researchers rebut the ‘growing scepticism about the value of national parks for biodiversity’ showing that ‘national parks really deliver outcomes’. They say that of the alternative conservation activities examined in the study, none were significantly linked to stable or increasing

populations of threatened species except for national parks.

The study suggests landclearing laws are also important. The three states with the highest levels of land clearing, Queensland, NSW and Tasmania, also had the most threatened species in decline. ‘The message is clear. If you want a sure bet to save endangered species, secure their habitat and put it in a national park, or stop habitat destruction through legislation. Anything else is risky,’ the study says, and we couldn’t agree more. n n n n

It sounds like the Monty Python sketch ‘How Not to be Seen’, in which the unsuccessful in this art are briskly detonated, but American author Frank M Ahearn is serious.

His book How to Disappear teaches people how to drop out of the state radar, destroy DNA records and create digital IDs for disinformation.

Some Tweed councillors might be tempted to visit his site at www.frankahearn.com.

Grail Quest

Introduction to Grail Quest (an 8-week course) which is the opening term of the two year parttime foundation course.

...a journey into the Spiritual Science of Rudolf Steiner...

GRAIL QUEST offers a modern form of adult education based on the work of Rudolf Steiner. Through a deepened understanding of the inner workings of the world and ourselves, inner development and soul transformation are brought about. This in turn leads to an enhanced capacity to transform the outer world.

The course consists of lectures, discussions and workshops which are expanded through artistic experiences in music, painting, sculpture, story telling, speech, drama, craft and the new art of eurythmy. No previous artistic experience is necessary. The emphasis of the course is away from competition and is focused on individual growth. The course aims to teach through the heart, hand and mind and to bring our efforts to fruition through love of the deed. GRAIL QUEST is also the prerequisite for the Steiner Teacher Training programme.

24 February 3, 2011 The Tweed Shire Echo

Some of the themes explored in the course are: The Quest for Meaning. The Elements.

The Temperaments. Sacred Geometry.

The Origins of the Earth & Humanity.

The Evolution of Consciousness.

Christology. Mystery Schools & Mystery Centres. The Birth of Modern Consciousness in the Renaissance. The Search for the Holy Grail. Life Phases: an Exploration of Biography.

8 week Introductory Course: $600 Monday 4.30 – 7.30pm and Wednesday 4.30 – 7.30pm Plus 2 Saturdays 9.30 – 3:30pm Commencing 14th February Venue: Cape Byron Steiner School, McGettigans Lane, Ewingsdale Enquiries: Gerry Josephson 0406 788 050 Kristy Brake 0431 833 959
