Dam threatens mass extinction Luis Feliu

Scores of threatened animal and plant species, some unique to the Tweed caldera, will be doomed to extinction if the controversial Byrrill Creek dam plan goes ahead. Internationally renowned Tweed ecologist Dr Steve Phillips made the dire warning at a public meeting to launch a campaign against the dam at Uki Hall last Saturday. Dr Phillips, of Biolink Ecological Consultants, said the dam proposal would trigger a federal species impact study ‘because of the potential for localised extinction to occur’ due to flooding from the dam. The ecologist told the meeting attended by around 100 people that the Byrrill Creek area contained around 70 potentially endangered plant and animal species which would be threatened by the dam, as many were found, or restricted to, lowland rainforest and alluvial flats in the area which would be inundated.

Occurring nowhere else in the world He said that among these was the tiny and unusual amphibian called the Pouched Frog which ‘occurs nowhere else in the world except here’, and the Albert’s Lyrebird, also unique to the Tweed area. Dr Phillips said Byrrill Creek was the ‘stronghold in the Tweed’ for the threatened Giant Barred Frog, ‘probably one of the largest frogs in Australia’, and a dam would potentially break the link of that frog population’s movement between Mebbin National Park and the Tweed River where they are found.

Others include the Golden Tipped Bat, which only lives around rainforest streams, the Marbled Frogmouth, the Green Tree Frog and the Bush Hen ‘which would lose its habitat – full stop’. ‘There’s so much to be lost; these species are in trouble, like most others on the planet, because of us,’ he said. The eminent scientist who often undertakes environmental impact studies for the National Parks and Wildlife Service, said that when government studies eventually looked at the record of threatened wildlife in the Byrrill Creek area, they would see ‘a large number of them’, many in Mebbin National Park, yet ‘there was still much survey work to be done’. ‘So there’s lots at risk; lots of threatened species, some of which are not found elsewhere in the world, would be potentially lost. ‘There is lots of fauna and flora dependent on lowland for their survival and areas such as Byrrill Creek should be embellished and enlarged, not taken out and flooded. ‘It irks me that when we allow large development to wreak such havoc, we lose the context of what endangered means for a plant or a community of species – endangered means in imminent danger of extinction, and how we contemplate doing this, I do not know’, he said to applause. Dr Phillips said there were still opportunities for common sense to prevail because of the long planning process involved, which could take ‘years and years’. He said dams were ‘obsolete’ and ‘contrary to state government policy’ and that ‘there were so many hurdles to get over, particularly when there

Ukitopia fest celebrates life, art and culture Kate McIntosh

Debby Cook’s passion for art is rivalled only by her love of tea. So, it was only natural the Uki-based artist combine the two. Debby’s sculpture of a giant teapot will be a fixture at next week’s Ukitopia Festival. The three-day event, organised by the Ukitopia Arts Collective, celebrates life, art and culture in the small Tweed village. This year’s line-up includes 50 performers, with a particular focus on local music. Now in its third year, the festival also incorporates art exhibitions, children’s activities, creative workshops, market stalls and performances. The mum-of-three says she began continued on page 2

developing the concept after being approached by event organisers to create a major art centrepiece. In the lead up to the festival, Debby asked hundreds of community members to write their wish on small pieces of paper, deconstructed from dried tea bags and hung on panels inside the sculpture. Debby, who drinks up to 10 cups of tea a day, has been collecting used teabags for almost seven months and aims to collect up to 1,000 wishes on teabags by the time the festival gets underway next week. A ritualistic tea ceremony is planned as part of the opening ceremony, whereby the wishes of the community will be endorsed. It’s not the first time Debby has used teabags in her artwork. She says improvising with everyday items was born largely out of necessity. ‘Working on small pieces of paper

when you don’t have much money, it seemed a natural thing to do,’ she said. Debby sought solace in art after her marriage breakdown and a devastating custody battle, going on to complete a bachelor of visual arts at Southern Cross University. An active campaigner for parental rights and family court reform, Debby uses art as a way of channelling the grief she feels at losing her children. ‘My family breakdown led me to uni and it ended up becoming my muse,’ she said. ‘When you lose all your sense of belonging and identity, it’s a pretty catastrophic thing to happen, that’s why I go and make crazy big teapots, I guess.’ The Ukitopia Festival runs from next Friday, November 19 through to Sunday, November 22.

Dam threatens mass extinction are alternatives in how we manage our water’. He said he was often ‘embarrassed’ when talking to scientists from other parts of the world that ‘we were using drinking water to flush our waste’. ‘But if all fails and this decision is not reversed then I suggest it could get quite nasty here,’ he said. ‘So as a community we need to sit down, watch things unfold, but the response has to be well considered, very tactical and very well informed.’ He said ‘the last bastion’ to stop the dam was legal action through the Land and Environment Court or Federal Court, ‘if this proposal goes that far’. Dr Phillips’s firm conducted the official environmental impact study (EIS) for the controversial world rally last year. During the early planning for the rally stages through the Tweed, which initially included Byrrill Creek, Cadell Road south of Byrrill Creek was deleted from the rally route by organisers due to the potential impact on the endangered Giant Barred Frog habitat if an oil spill was to occur in the creek there. Rally organisers used the withdrawal of the road as a public-relations exercise to

boost their ‘green’ credentials, but it’s believed that in any case they would not have been given federal environment department permission to run the rally through any habitat area of threatened wildlife.

Dam was ‘ambush’ Two Tweed councillors opposed to the dam, the Greens’ Crs Katie Milne and deputy mayor Barry Longland, attended the meeting and spoke against the dam, with Cr Longland saying he was ‘knocked over’ by the ‘ambush’

by three conservative councillors on the night they pushed through the dam proposal, against all the staff and community working group recommendations. The third councillor opposed, Cr Dot Holdom, sent her apologies. Cr Milne said a dam would not be needed if council adopted better policies for water management, such as dualreticulation systems for new developments, large rainwater tanks and grey-water reuse and recycling.

She said council’s demand management strategy was already achieving huge savings which would negate the need for a dam, and the issue of population had to be addressed as development had already impacted heavily on waterways such as the Cobaki and Terranora broadwaters which were ‘very sick and very stressed’. ‘We have the highest concentration of threatened species in Australia so I’m wondering if we haven’t reached our carrying capacity,’ she said.

Chillingham couple terrorised as driveway access dispute turns nasty Kate McIntosh

A Chillingham couple say they have been subjected to a campaign of threats and intimidation as a result of a property access dispute with their neighbours, which has left them virtual prisoners in their own home. Eve Birch, 69, and Bruce Morton, 66, say they have been repeatedly harassed and prevented from leaving or entering their Numinbah Road property ever since a family of four moved into an adjoining house about four weeks ago. The dispute stems from an access driveway, servicing three adjoining properties, which runs off a council road reserve and partly traverses the neighbour’s land.

Road reserve claimed The property owners claim the entire road reserve facing their home, including the driveway, is their land – a point disputed by council. Tweed/Byron Acting Superintendent Owen King confirmed police had attended the site on a number occasions and several charges were pending against two persons residing at the adjoining property. Mr King said he was unable

to comment on the nature of the charges. Tweed Shire Council general manager Mike Rayner told The Echo the land in dispute is in fact council road reserve and that blocking or obstructing access was an offence. ‘Obstructing a road reserve is an offence under the Roads Act and as such council has issued an infringement notice advising parties of their obligations,’ he said. ‘We are working in close contact with police and continuing to cooperate on the matter.’ However, Ms Birch said their neighbours continued to flout the law at every opportunity, padlocking the access gates and blocking the driveway with debris. Ms Birch says while council had attended on several occasions to remove material obstructing access, their neighbours simply replaced it as soon as officers left. Mr Rayner also confirmed a council officer had been assaulted at the property and officers had been advised to attend the site only in police presence. Mr Morton alleges he was also assaulted by a female neighbour while trying to gain access to the property. During the attack Mr Mor-

ton said his car keys were stolen and thrown into the bush. As a result the car had to be towed to South Tweed to be fitted with a new immobiliser. In a bid to avoid constant confrontations, Ms Birch says they have been forced to trek through dense bushland to the rear of their property in order to reach a neighbour’s property, where they have temporarily parked their vehicle.

Living nightmare The couple, who retired to the area in 2002, say the dispute had turned their dream home into a living nightmare. ‘We are senior citizens who have worked hard all our lives, never had any dealings with police, built our dream house and love living in our beautiful community and these people have terrorised us for the last four weeks and turned our lives upside down,’ Ms Birch said. Mr Rayner said it was not clear in this instance why the driveway’s construction had delineated from boundary lines. He said it was not uncommon in rural areas for boundaries to be marked out for convenience, rather than according to precise coordinates, adding that access issues were

usually resolved amicably between neighbours. Mr Rayner said council officers had been in contact with the couple and had advised them to proceed with construction of a separate singleuse driveway for their property contained wholly on the council road reserve at their own expense. However, the couple say it is unfair that they should have to foot the bill for an oversight that was not their fault. But Mr Rayner maintains responsibility for driveway maintenance costs on council land rests solely with property owners. The couple, who have had to employ a solicitor, say the matter has already left them thousands of dollars out of pocket. Ms Birch says the ongoing stress is also affecting her health and she now suffers from severe panic attacks and heart palpitations. ‘We are both just living on the edge, [our] quality of life has been severely diminished with no end in sight,’ she said. ‘All we want to do is enter and leave our property by the council road reserve without restrictions or abuse, as is our right.’

Kingscliff community takes control Kingscliff resident Kelly Tonkin pitched in with scores of others last Friday to help shore up the rapidly disintegrating dune on which the Cudgen Headland Surf Lifesaving Club at Kingscliff sits. Surf club chairman David Field told The Echo residents took the matter into their own hands because they were ‘sick and tired’ of ‘nothing being done’ to stem the problem. He put the call out to the Kingscliff community to help in the sandbagging operation and was overwhelmed with the response. ‘It’s about ownership of what’s happening, we’re losing the beach,’ he said.

Rezoning bid goes back to council Ken Sapwell

A retired couple is hoping councillors won’t derail their latest attempt to rezone a small block of land at Terranora when they meet next week. Geoff and Julie Stone have tried for the past three years to change the zoning on their 6,000-square-metre parcel from farmland to residential to bring it in line with hundreds of hectares of surrounding land. They had a major breakthrough last month when Cr Joan van Lieshout won narrow support to rectify what she de-

scribed as an unjust anomaly. But their celebrations were short-lived when three councillors moved to rescind the rezoning amid claims the couple had never lodged a rezoning application and that a rezoning would interfere with the area’s high scenic values. Council’s chief planner, Vince Connell, confirmed this week that the Stones had formally requested a rezoning in 2007 and delays in processing it had nothing to do with scenic values or complaints from neighbours. ‘The main reason (for the

delay) is the delays in the council’s broader planning program which have impacted on the Stones’ request,’ Mr Connell said. He said the Stones had initially asked that the rezoning be considered as part of the draft LEP stage-two review. ‘As most people in the shire would be aware by now, council has only reached stage one, and that work on stage two is unlikely to commence until the mid part of next year, thereby delaying their earlier request. Mr Connell said he understood the Stones’ frustration

and acknowledged there could have been better communication, but rejected any suggestion that council staff had not acted properly or fairly in dealing with the rezoning request. The couple bought the block of land, which has a registered subdivision containing seven lots, in 2005. Since then land on all sides has been rezoned from farming to residential, but in a Catch-22 twist the Stones continue to pay residential rates even though they say their block is too small for any farming activities.

Council keeps GM contract top secret Ken Sapwell

Tweed Council has refused to release details of a new twoyear contract awarded to its general manager Mike Rayner in secretive circumstances three months ago. Local accountant Terry Sharples asked for a copy of letters exchanged before the contract was signed in August as well as the criteria used in his performance reviews through the government’s new Information (Public Access) Act.

Requests rejected But council’s public information officer Neil Baldwin rejected the requests saying it would reveal an individual’s personal information. Mr Sharples also failed in a bid to discover Mr Rayner’s starting salary under the contract or obtain a full disclosure of the long-serving council officer’s annual expenses. He sought the information following revelations that Warren Polglase used his mayoral powers to bring forward a notice of motion to extend Mr Rayner’s current five-year

contract shortly before being deposed. Minutes of the closed-door meeting reveal councillors voted 5-2 to allow Mr Rayner to start the new contract in May next year on a salary ‘equivalent to the general manager’s salary at the conclusion of his current contract.’ However, the mayoral minute dealing with the contract and a second one to seal the deal the next month escaped immediate public attention because neither was listed in council agendas under the items for consideration. Mr Sharples, one of council’s fiercest critics, says he’s far from satisfied with responses to his request for more information about Mr Rayner’s salary package, expenses and contract and had complained to the Information Commission. He said Mr Baldwin sent him a copy of a standard contract and tried to fob off a request for a schedule of Mr Rayner’s expenses with documents which he later learnt revealed only part of the picture. The document shows the ‘general manager section other

costs’ had more than doubled from $11,869 in 08-09 to $25,234 in 09-10. A council spokesman confirmed this week that the document only related to the general manager’s section and covered everything from uniforms to training programs for all six staff in the section. It did not include other expenses which the general manager charged against other council sections, depending on his particular mission.

‘Time-consuming and too costly’

of the council’s sacking in 2005, is entitled to annual pay hikes, bonuses and the use of a credit card. Mr Sharples, who is credited with One Nation’s Pauline Hanson’s demise and exposing flaws in council’s consultation process during a failed court bid to stop a series of sharp rate rises, says he will continue to pursue the information. ‘I can see no over-riding public interest against the disclosure of his contract details and expenses,’ said Mr Sharples, who is among those critical of Mr Rayner’s role on the Rally Australia board.

‘The costs are spread across sections and to provide this information would be timeconsuming and too costly,’ the council spokesman said. Mr Baldwin also declined to reveal Mr Rayner’s starting salary when he takes up his new contract, but did release historical data showing the GM earned $257,215 in the 12 months to June last year.

Cr Polglase says what makes the ceremony remarkable is the fact it’s conducted at 8pm every night, regardless of whether there are hundreds, or just a handful, of people present. ‘Local citizens started playing the Last Post in 1928 and have never missed a night except during the Second World War.’ he said. ‘The visit to the Messines battlefields reminds us of the sacrifice of over 50,000 Australian soldiers who gave their lives for our freedom. Let us never forget this sacrifice.’

It would take many years to build to this capacity. One or two major events would be held in the first year. * Incremental capacity increases from 35,000 would only be sought based on achieving stringent performance criteria covering a range of aspects such as traffic, noise, ecology etc. Extensive studies have shown that a manageable long term upper limit of patrons for a major event is 50,000.

Comment

Will the real bastards please stand up? Volume 3 #11

November 11, 2010

Our festival neighbours With just a week to go before submissions to the Department of Planning close, the debate over whether the site at Jones Road, Yelgun, just south of the Tweed Shire border, should be permitted to hold music festivals is reaching a high pitch of intensity. The amenity of nearby residents is important, but so too are recreation and employment. However, the impact of numerous large and noisy gatherings on the wildlife of the site and the adjacent reserve is the real deal-breaker. Jones Road is also the northern boundary of the Billinudgel Nature Reserve, which is the area’s last wildlife corridor connecting to the coast. It is so important to the preservation of biodiversity in both shires that Byron Council has been prepared to court unpopularity by refusing to develop a sports ground there. Public sport facilities are more useful to the community than private festival sites, so it follows from the principled decision not to use the land at Shara Boulevarde, North Ocean Shores, for playing fields that music festivals are equally inappropriate. The issue is a defining one: are we custodians or destroyers? Do we opt for entertainment and employment at the expense of the animals, or do we take our ecological responsibility seriously? The number of people who simply don’t give a damn is probably quite small. Even festival proponents probably agonise over the decision or tell themselves that the environmental concerns are overstated. Would this also be the case in Tweed Shire Council? Local government here is run for developers (many say by developers) who unashamedly fund councillors they approve of. The North Byron Parklands company, which hopes to hold Splendour in the Grass and many other large events on the site, apparently feels that Byron Shire is not supportive enough, for it is seeking a meeting with Tweed Shire Council to present the benefits that will flow northwards from its activities. The Tweed mayor and the Tweed tourism chief have already expressed their enthusiasm, with the mayor implying that his council may make a formal submission in favour of the proposal. Queensland developers have long been frustrated by the zonings in northern NSW that have partially blocked the downward march of the Gold Coast. In what may be a coincidence Tweed councillors have invited the Wooyung Property Group to discuss their plans for a controversial 80 hectare residential development proposal near the festival site. It could be said that the Byron touchy-feely festival concept makes a good stalking horse behind which others can nurture Tweed development aspirations along the coast. Of course North Byron Parklands is not interested in anything other than festivals, but teaming up with Tweed Shire Council is not a good look. If the company really wants to go for broke in its campaign, the statistically probable way of gaining Planning Department approval is to make a substantial donation to the NSW Labor Party. But there is no reason to doubt that North Byron Parklands would much prefer to let its case stand on its merits.

any years ago I i nte r v i e we d t he newly elected New South Wales premier Neville Wran about his ambitions for his state. Disappointingly, they appeared pretty unexciting: more cafés, more outdoor eating spots, more inner city nightlife. So if this was really the limit, I asked, why had he given up a stellar legal career for the thankless drudgery of state politics? Nifty did not miss a beat. ‘To keep the other bastards out,’ he rasped, and, when you looked at the other bastards – left-over henchmen from the appalling regime of Robin Askin – this seemed a pretty laudable aim. One could argue that Tony Abbott’s guiding credo is not all that different, although his negativity in opposition probably has less justification. But then comes the more pertinent question: just who are the bastards he is seeking to replace, and what, if anything, do they represent? The question has to be pertinent, because the bastards themselves are asking it, and in increasingly shrill and desperate tones. Over the last few days the ALP and its supporters and critics have been engaged in a positive orgy of navel gazing, without, it must be admitted, finding much except fluff. It started with Greg Combet’s launch of the book All That’s Left, a collection of essays edited by Tim Soutphommasane and Nick Dyrenfurth, seeking to identify a sense of purpose and direction for the party. Combet, a leading figure of the left and a senior cabinet minister widely seen as a prime ministerial aspirant, was unable to go beyond cliché: Labor needed to reaffirm its guiding values of equity, social justice and compassion.

Some, like the Sydney Morning Herald’s Peter Hartcher, saw in this an implied rejection of the right wing power brokers who installed Julia Gillard as leader, and in particular the trolls of Sussex Street and their chief nibelung Mark Arbib, now improbably waving the banner of gay marriage. But other commentators blamed Gillard more directly. In The Australian (where

which Labor could and should crusade but concluded that the difficulties were too formidable; the unions in particular would be too much baggage. And the same applied to his other ideas, that Labor should become the party of social capital, rebuilding a sense of community, and that Labor should take on the existing power establishment – which of course includes the unions. Boof ’s

Over the last few days the ALP and its supporters and critics have been engaged in a positive orgy of navel gazing by Mungo MacCallum else?) Ross Fitzgerald said bluntly that she lacked the political courage to attempt any big reform. Peter van Onselen described the challenges facing her as colossal but not impossible, and pointed to a lack of ideological direction and concerns over what the party stands for. Paul Kelly, as always the most pompous, saw her besieged by policy challenges that demand far-reaching and convincing responses that so far seem beyond Labor’s political character. Surprisingly, he refrained from setting her a series of tests. The AWU national secretary Paul Howes said the challenge was to effect change to make society more equal, prosperous and progressive and to involve the electorate in the changes – but added that Gillard seemed unwilling to provide real leadership on climate change and refugees. Mark Latham, in an only marginally rabid essay in The Monthly, also suggested climate change as one issue on

conclusion was that the future actually lay not with Labor but with the Greens – a conclusion with which Bob Brown naturally agreed, although he might have had his doubts about its source. And so the list went on, with the pontificators lining up to give their views on the dire plight of Labor and the need to relocate its heart and soul – but not one making a solid suggestion for a positive move Labor can make in government. Because this is the real point: Labor is in power, still, in every parliament in Australia except one. This situation is unlikely to endure for very long, but the time for frenzied introspection is after losing, not before. Government is a time for action, and if a defeat appears to be looming, this makes the need to get things done in the days remaining all the more crucial. And in Gillard’s case, the stricture does not apply: her minority government may appear tenuous, but there is no reason

to suppose it will collapse in the foreseeable future. She and her colleagues should not get caught up in post mortems about the campaign of 2010; leave that to the historians and the academics, and, if the party must involve itself, to the backroom apparatchiks; that, after all, is what they are paid for. She is there to govern and must be seen to be doing so, to be – how should one put it? – moving forward. And the unexpected reemergence of the banks as a major public issue provides a perfect opportunity to do so. Gillard and Swan lost the early initiative to the opposition but there is ample opportunity to regain it. Their proposed legislation to lower exit fees should be seen as just a start, as should Joe Hockey’s bill to bring in the ACCC and Nick Xenophon’s limited exercise in the senate. Swan should establish a root-and-branch enquiry into the industry with the aim of increasing competition and eliminating anti-social charges and practices and he should do it before Christmas. There will be no lack of public support. Some 80 years ago Pete Seeger sang: I saw the weary farmer, ploughing his sod and loam; I heard the auction hammer, just knocking down his home. But the banks are made of marble, with a guard on every door And the vaults are stuffed with silver that the farmers sweated for. Attitudes haven’t changed that much; just about everyone still hates the banks, and of course they have always had a special place in the demonology of Labor and the left. It’s time to take the lead and get stuck into the real bastards.

Resignation call Goodbye to the ill-conceived rally. Good riddance to Mr Connolly. Good riddance to Mr Evans. Good riddance to MP Ian Macdonald. All major players in the disastrous rally event have got their just desserts. All except one. Tweed Shire general manager Mike Rayner, a main rally architect and board member, has managed to divide our community and cause irreparable upheaval, yet somehow he convinced ex-mayor Polglase that his work performance warranted a new half-million-dollar contract, ten months early. Hello, did I miss something? The rally organisers, including Mr Rayner, trampled our local community consultation processes and ignored the howls of protest with regards to the obvious conflict of interest. During his new contract negotiations (remembering he sits on the rally board) did Mr Rayner bother to mention to Polglase, ‘Hey Wozza, the rally has been lost to Coffs’, or did he keep that bit of news up his sleeve? If this gutless National Party majority that is controlling Tweed Council had any gumption, it would sack Rayner immediately for the damage already done to our community. Better still, if the man has a skerrick of decency maybe he should do the honourable thing and resign in shame.

Clear scientific evidence against the dam I would like to know what qualifications or education level Mr Skinner or Mr Polglase have. If they are not familiar with environmental studies, they should in no way be making decisions regarding the environment, they will in turn destroy the Tweed as we know it if they are not stopped. We are told to give our opinions on the vision we have for the future of the Tweed. Well I find the councillors don’t take any notice. Last I looked on the website, the largest slice on the pie chart was the public’s vote for environment. Does Mr Skinner understand pie charts? I want my children and their children to have AN environment to enjoy. How can mankind be ‘sustained’ if we destroy our life support systems? I am tired of our leaders caring only about ‘economics’ and shoving as many people as they

Aussie Day change due For the last two years I’ve put in a citizen of the year (local) nomination. Two years ago it was our library director who struggles every day under an uncaring council far more set on building dams and promoting motor rallies and building pious pools and three storey concrete car parks (that don’t pay and bleed us dry) than taking an interest in our libraries. My nomination was of course rejected by our Oz committee (which itself is a piece of Tweed history unchanged for some 15 years). The reason for the rejection was that no public servants may be nominated. I searched the state and national Australia Day websites today and there are no rules there that prevent nominations of public servants or indeed any citizen who has contributed. In fact the greatest problem appears to be the lack of nominees. In my opinion it’s time to open up the local game and a good start would be a revamp of the local rules and local committee. How about it, Mike? I’m nominating our long-suffering library director again in 2010. She and our library staff deserve some extra recognition. I hope others in our community will take the time this year to give recognition also to what really counts for them. T Sharples

Vegetarian novelist on the hunt Kate McIntosh

Stephanie Dale was never one to follow convention or, for that matter, the path well trod. The former Tweed journalist, who sold everything to trek across Europe and start her own publishing company, has released her second novel. Hymn for the Wounded Man is loosely based on Ms Dale’s visceral, and at times confronting, experiences of hunting in New Zealand, told from the perspective of a female vegetarian. The book follows her successful debut novel My Pilgrim’s Heart, a deeply personal account of her 2007 pilgrimage on foot from Rome to Istanbul. The book, which also explores Ms Dale’s ill-fated marriage, struck a chord with readers for its astute observations on the nature of relationships. Unsurprisingly then, love is again at the centre of her latest novel. Although a work of fiction, the book is partly inspired by her experiences in Golden Bay 20 years ago and the hunting stories are her own. Seeking time out, Ms Dale, then 33, packed up and took her two teenage children to the picturesque corner in the north-west of New Zealand’s South Island, where she fell in love with a local hunter. ‘I gatecrashed his world,’ she laughs. ‘He was just the most gorgeous man, and I think his beauty is captured in this story.’ Despite being a vegetarian for most of her life, Ms Dale decided to try hunting, because she was intrigued by the concept and what it would be like to witness violent death up close. The experience proved to be a profound one. ‘It took the fear out of it and then there was just this exhilaration of running through the forest,’ she said. ‘It was a deeply spiritual experience. When you’re hunting every cell is engaged. I’ve never been so engaged in every aspect of me.’

Former Tweed journalist Stephanie Dale has released her second novel, a love story, based around her hunting experiences in New Zealand 20 years ago.

Although hunting at first sat uneasily with her vegetarian beliefs, Ms Dale learned to reconcile the two. ‘In New Zealand at the time they still had that wild food culture. They’d pick it off the rocks and pull it out of the ground,’ she said. ‘So, even though I didn’t eat meat, I found it a really honest way of putting food on the table.’ Although the relationship eventually crumbled Ms Dale, who no longer hunts, said she still considers the three years

she spent living in Golden Bay as among the best years of her life. She returned to the region to write the novel and says the stunning natural environment served as an important backdrop to the storyline. Since selling her house and almost everything she owned seven years ago, Ms Dale now divides her time between the Gold Coast and Byron Bay. While the publication of her books is fulfilment of a lifelong dream, it has not been without personal sacrifice.

But Ms Dale says she wouldn’t change anything. ‘For me, my life is really truthful to myself. If there have been sacrifices, so what? I’m still doing what I love doing,’ she said. ‘What I think is more frightening is lying on a lounge in another 40 years, paying off a house, wishing I had done what I loved.’ Hymn for the Wounded Man is published by Voyager Moon and will be launched at the Byron Bay Community Centre tomorrow (November 12) at 6pm.

Independents ‘to clean out corruption’ Former high-profile independent state MP John Hatton intends to field a team of 21 independent candidates for the NSW Legislative Council in March. He also wants to see independents stand in every seat of the lower house which is not already represented by an independent. This will entail finding 87 candidates. Mr Hatton, who was a state MP for 22 years, will head the upper house ticket. So far he has one other runner, Ian Scandrett of Moss Vale. The purpose of the ‘John

<echowebsection=Letters>

Hatton Independent Team’ is to clean up the corruption in NSW politics. ‘There is a feeling of change coming’ said Mr Hatton at his public meeting in Tweed Heads on Thursday. ‘People are suspicious of both parties, and want to take government back from the timeservers, spin doctors, shonks and carpetbaggers.’ He has called for a royal commission into the planning process in NSW, where developers contributing to Labor Party funds routinely have their projects approved.

He is also concerned by the influence of the liquor and gaming industries, which prevent the cleaning up of problem hotels. ‘Last year there were 73,000 incidents of serious violence related to alcohol, but nothing is done,’ he said. Mr Hatton believes that parliament needs to be overhauled, with a return to due process and transparency. With the balance of power held by independents of integrity Mr Hatton thinks that reform will be possible.

Q. Why do so many drowning deaths occur in home swimming pools? A. Home swimming pools are located close to the house and the child’s natural curiosity brings them into contact with the pool. In the majority of home swimming pool drowning deaths the toddler fell in or went in voluntarily. Q. How do children get into the home swimming pool? A. The most common entries for toddlers into the home pool are: via an open gate, through a house door, or by using nearby equipment to climb over the fence.

With Mad Millie, people can control what they are eating by learning how to make it themselves. From this people can also get a tastier, unprocessed product which they are proud to share! The company has developed a series of take home cheese kits which enable you to make anything from Feta and Halloumi to Camembert and Blue cheese. Each kit has easy to follow instructions and is further supported by an interactive website containing online forums and video tutorials. The brand is already in popular demand in New Zealand and has just been launched in Australia. The cheese kits are now available at the Tweed’s local agent in Border Brewing Supplies, where Sue and the

CANCER: In his poem Too Many Names, an impassioned plea against dissipating life in trivialities, Cancerian poet Pablo Neruda writes: Mondays mesh with Tuesdays and the week with the whole year...Leave plenty of space this week for magic to thrive in your life. LEO: If this week reveals concealed information or covert operations you might be in a no-prisoners, nocompromise frame of mind but really, there’s no need to have a power surge. Just watch, wait, listen, observe and most importantly resist launching into your Big Spender persona.

VIRGO: Virgos love self improvement, and may feel this week that certain significant others could do with some too. But that’s their job. Yours, as super Virgo Mother Teresa put it, is if you can’t manage a big win then to achieve a small one with big love. LIBRA: Your boss planet Venus retrograding back into Libra offers a two week window of opportunity for sorting a relationship glitch or wrapping up unfinished business with a happier ending. So you can move on to installing newer, more beautiful, self-renewing programs in your biocomputers.

want from your coming year. And vow to be grateful for what you get, even when it’s not what you asked for. SAGITTARIUS: Archers like space and lots of it. This week offers the opposite, but that’s essential training for the upcoming season of unreason. With Mars and Mercury in Sagittarius your perception’s acute, but your focus-finder needs adjusting from far horizons to up close and personal issues. CAPRICORN: If this week’s deep and meaningful soul searching gets your goat, then take advantage of its financial savvy. Or make use of late week Capricorn moon to initiate that we-have-to-talk courageous conversation that will clear a whole load of emotional static.

AQUARIUS: Some versions of current astro-predictions feature emotional space invaders and your mind as a torture chamber. But if we really are what we think, there’s no reason not to morph this week’s world into a celebratory, easy going, whimsical, quixotic parallel reality of your own inventions PISCES: Emotional extravaganzas could distract you from this week’s uncomfortable job of examining your deepest personal needs, which become increasingly insistent the more you ignore them. But with plenty of discipline-stimulating energy available, there’s no excuse for not getting stuck into what you’ve been putting off.

Last week’s solution

CHESS

by Ian Rogers Play at Seagulls Club, Thurs 6-10pm The latest FIDE world rankings were released on November 1, two days after Norway’s teenage superstar Magnus Carlsen confirmed his place at the top with a convincing victory at the Grand Slam tournament in Nanjing, ahead of World Champion Viswanathan Anand and Anand’s world title challenger Veselin Topalov. Yet FIDE have studiously ignored Nanjing, arguably the strongest tournament of the year, and installed Anand as the new number one, just ahead of Carlsen. To add to the confusion, Levon Aronian has moved up to number three based on results in a European club competition in Bulgaria which was held simultaneously with Nanjing. The upshot is that more and more chess fans will turn to the privately operated http://chess. liverating.org/, updated daily, to see how the top players stack up against each other. The latest FIDE list places Australia steady at number 56. Russia heads the list, followed by

the Ukraine and China, but the big surprise is France with their highest ever ranking of fourth.

Paul Hannan and Louise O’Reilly met and bonded over an eclectic crossing of folk and country traditions in 2007. Hannan had been the front man of numerous prominent Brisbane bands, while O’Reilly honed her self-taught guitar and vocal talents during an extended stay in Cape York. As Laneway, the pair’s enviable and relaxed attention to old and new combines a love of harmony, a touch of psychedelia and a pop sensibility. Their sound has an immediate familiarity that jumps out at you on first listen, before the incredible depth of song writing sinks in. Originally playing as an acoustic harmony based duo, Laneway has recently relocated from Melbourne to Natural Bridge. Their debut album, If You Don’t Need it Let it Go, expands on their contemporary West Coast sound. O’Reilly’s warm and touching vocal melodies

overlay Hannan’s textbook harmonies on tracks that are at once nostalgic and contemporary. Moving effortlessly through 11 signatures, the album is a display of eclectic influences, and has seen the band compared to early Fleetwood Mac and the Mamas and the Papas, as well as contemporary groups like Cat Power, Fleet Foxes and Midlake. See Laneway perform at Chillingham Markets on Sunday, November 14 at 10am. This month’s Glo Dance features the feel good dance grooves of Oka. Made up of the lush earthy beats of Stu Fergie, of the Yakin Andu people, on didgeridoo and vocals, the soaring melodies of Chris Lane on slide guitar, Indigenous flutes, harmonica and more and the tribal grooves of Charles Wall on drums, the Sunshine Coast-based band take their genre defying music to the world with regular tours of Japan and Canada, as well as sell out shows around the country and festivals such as Woodford and The Dreaming. Oka’s sound is an organic tapestry of earthy rhythms in a smooth hi-fidelity sound that is full of uplifting melodies, tones and textures, which celebrate Australian cultures, with a powerful and uniting Indigenous cultural overtone running throughout the music. Glo Dance is on at Uki Hall on Friday, November 12 and gets underway at 8pm with the pumping global tribal beats of DJ Pulse. Tickets are $20 and will be available on the door if not already sold out.

Ash Grunwald Ash Grunwald’s fifth studio album, Hot Mama Vibes, is neck-deep in the technological swamp of the 21st Century. It’s also the most primal concoction of elemental junkyard soul to stomp through your speakers this year. Mixing electronica with the blues the album is somewhat of a departure for the 10-year veteran of live stages from Byron Bay Bluesfest to the Montreux Jazz Festival. Grunwald first drew attention as a solo artist with the release of 2002’s Introducing Ash Grunwald, a collection of originals and blues standards. Since then the Melbourne-based blues musician has earned a swag of ARIA nominations and his songs have become a fixture on indie radio

Reason 5 Short Course

The whole family is sitting around the dinner table and my teenage daughter pipes up with ‘You know what I think is rude? When people rape you and THEN they murder you’. There is silence. But she has a point. Even serial killers need etiquette. ‘How RUDE!’ I agree. I mean it. Either one or the other, Mr Rapey Murderer. To do both is just plain greedy. I was impressed that the June Dally Watkins course Zoe did some years back seemed to have had lasting impact. At the time we were happy with the basic revelations she and her sister had like ‘when you get out of a car you have to close your legs’. If only Paris Hilton had been to Miss Dally, the world would be a safer place! But it’s true. Bad manners are everywhere. As the iPhone, iPad, iPod culture permeates the frontal cortex we are becoming a race of flagrantly rude, self-obsessed individualists. We are iCunts. That’s not swearing. That’s the only appropriate descriptive word available. You know things are getting bad when even the old people are rude. The other day I had to do some banking before heading off to run my Stand Up For Dementia Class. I had five minutes. So I went down to the Commonwealth Bank at 9.15am and waited out the front so I’d be the first customer. No one was there. At 9.29 an older gentleman and woman turned up. At 9.30 the doors opened and it was at that point that my infant daughter decided to do the bolt. I turned to get her and in that time the old man and woman mowed me down to get to the teller first. I couldn’t believe it. I’d been cut down by two geriatrics! They then proceeded to conduct old people banking where they have a lovely leisurely chat. I ended up being late for my class. So I was the one who came off as having ‘poor’ etiquette. It’s time people updated their social behaviour. For a start, don’t talk on mobile phones in shops, or public transport, or while you’re driving. Don’t sit at a restaurant with

MANNERS FROM HEAVEN company and spend the next 20 minutes texting your friends. Don’t put people on call waiting to see if there’s someone better on the other line. And when it comes to emotional exchanges, don’t text or email. There’s no tonal context for people to establish what’s going on. If you’re angry don’t frighten people with Caps Lock. It’s electronic shouting and it hurts. In Jane Austen’s day, people courted by sending lovely long letters using beautiful language that alluded to sensual attraction. Now we text ‘I want to fuck you’. Don’t. Last time I did this I absent-mindedly pushed send and it went to my stepdad. It made Christmas lunch very uncomfortable. Don’t sing out loud when you’re listening to your iPod. Children used to be taught manners at school. I once explained the ‘smallest cupcake’ rule of courtesy to my middle daughter. ‘When offered a tray of cupcakes you must always take the smallest one.’ She was gobsmacked. Why would you do that? I’ve been trying to teach some basic dining etiquette at home. We only eat at the kitchen table. No eating in front of the television. It’s disgusting. Eating should be communal, it’s not just food, it’s conversation and engagement. If you’re going to eat in front of the telly, then why not just eat on the toilet? Cuts out the middle man. We wait until everyone is seated. No elbows on the table. Or feet. Or animals. We use our cutlery. A spoon is not a shovel. Once they master the knife and fork, I am even thinking of introducing the ‘dressing for dinner’ rule. I love Australian Etiquette. My favourite surrounds BBQ behaviour. They say that when hosting a barbie a knock at the door should never be answered because it means the guest doesn’t have any beer. And how much beer? A 6-pack will get you in but a case gets you a sausage.

Get Yourself in a Flap They were the hit of last year’s Woodford Festival, with hundreds of punters packing their gigs, writhing to the cranking rhythms of improvised jazz solos and some pretty fine singing. Seven caught up with Flap!’s Jesse Guille in the lead up to their performance at the Mullum Music Festival. There’s a real minstrel feel to Flap!, like something that has fallen between the cracks of the genres...is that intentional? I think the feel comes from the bands’ general love of traditional jazz, tied in with my love of all things I can dance to! I grew up listening to folk, Irish, blues, funk, reggae, calypso, jazz and gypsy music (amongst others). These elements all seem to pop in and out, with the blanket of trad jazz keeping them warm. It does somehow fall between the cracks, but this sound is, however, unintentional. How did the Flap! musicians come together to create the band? We started out as friends. I would go and see the guys play in various other bands that I loved, and this was the start of a very beautiful thing. Two particular bands that I love are The Band Who Knew Too Much and The Hoodangers. Mark, our bass player and Eamon, my co-lead-person and trumpet dude have both played in these bands and I would say they are both a huge influence on Eamon and me musically. It’s a bit like meeting a partner, except to the power of four. Do you know when you’ve met the ‘right’ band? As we started out through friendship, this feeling was pretty settled right from the start. This is actually the first band I’ve ever been involved in, so it was wonderful to have such amazing friends to support me and teach me the ropes from the get-go. There is a lot of love! We also have the added fun of having a guest ‘fifth member’ at every show. We cannot do the show without a fifth wheel, and we get to have fun with choosing a different feel for the different type of show. It is amazing how different this one person’s energy changes our own dynamic. Tell us a little about a Flap! live show... The word on the grapevine was that your Woodford Festival show had the whole tent jumping? The show is full of energy, it’s unpretentious, essentially about fun, and supported by incredible musicianship. People often comment on the very obvious appreciation we have of one another on stage and find this experience quite intimate. Add to this fun, dancey tunes and that’s somewhere near to the experience. Do you think you are most suited to a Festival atmosphere? Definitely. There is something about a festival crowd that is just so ‘up for it’. They are there, regardless of anything, to have a damn good time, so that’s exactly what they’ll do! These crowds exist elsewhere, but there is just something magic about a festival that makes people immediately ready to dance and let themselves do as they please. We expend a lot of energy making the music, and the circle is complete when we get that

www.tweedecho.com.au t d h

energy back from a happy dancing audience. As a songwriter, is it about storytelling for you or is there more in the mix? I tend to write very autobiographically – I’m telling very real stories about myself. I find it particularly hard to sing things that have no real cause or meaning. I feel silly! You wouldn’t catch me writing a song with a line, for example, like ‘Who took the bomp from the bompalompalomp, who took the ram from the ramalamadingdong?’ How does Flap! compose a song? Does it take shape after 20 gigs or is it ready to go the minute it hits the stage? Eamon or I will come to the band with a tune, lyrics, a melody and possibly even lines for the horns. It does always evolve, and often the best ideas come while playing a gig rather than rehearsing. It can take a few gigs for us to get a good solid feel of a newy. A lot of songs are always evolving just a little, as it is heaps more fun for us to be playful and open to the different directions a song can go. This is definitely spurred on by the fact that all the guys are seasoned jazz musicians, very much used to improvisation. They like to play with their toys! How much of your shows are improvised? Do you think that improvisation is part of the secret of creating such dynamic live gigs? It does definitely create a very dynamic setting for an audience. The solos are basically spaces allotted to the soloist to lead us on a little journey. Sometimes this journey takes a very different course in the song from the last time we played it. It keeps everyone on stage entertained and on their toes, which is engaging for a crowd, and I think the audience can tell that what is being played is being created especially for the moment. What are the songs that you have created your own FLAP! version? Do they just occur to you or do you actively seek out interesting or unusual songs? I’m not sure when I decided that Steve Miller’s Abracadabra would be a good Flap! song, but it has strangely turned into a bit of a favourite for some. It is one of those campfire sing-a-longs that just stuck. Polly Vaughn is an old English folk song, introduced to me as a bluegrassy old-timey tune on vinyl by my fiance. He loves it so we did it one night as a surprise for him and it, too, stuck. I have at times been known to surprise the rest of the band, as well as the audience, with dodgy jammed versions of It’s Getting Hot in Here by Nelly or Salt and Pepa’s Push It. You just never know what’s going to happen. I have a not-so-secret, but nonetheless embarrassing, love of dodgy, mostly 90s pop. What should we be expecting for your show at the Mullum Music Festival? More of what we supplied at Woodford! Dancing music with lots of love. And fun. And bad jokes from me. Yay! Flap are featured at Mullum Music Festival on Thursday, November 25 on opening night, with additional performances on Friday 26, Saturday 27 and Sunday 28.

Kicking the hornets nets David Solano.

I am currently reading a book entitled ‘The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest’ – the third book in the Millennium Trilogy by Swedish author Stieg Larsson. I feel a little like that girl after the reaction to my last column. Interestingly I had more people ringing me to tell me about the good things the pro netters do for the river. Firstly they are highly monitored by the fisheries. They work with bio water specialists testing water quality and are currently trying to get the sugar cane farmers to keep their drain pipes open to improve the flow and prevent chemical buildup.

The nets they use only trap the bigger fish and they have been spotted picking up rubbish left behind by recreational anglers. So maybe we can learn something from these guys, like take your rubbish with you, including bait packets which I see lying everywhere, as well as floating debris. I’m not a fan of netting any river, but in their own way these guys could be considered environmentalists. Ben Markwell whose family has been netting the Tweed for four generations offered to take me out and see what they do. After Ben made me the offer I thought maybe I should look into things more closely before

I open my mouth. Ben says the main fish they target are pillies and mullet; it’s all very interesting and open to debate. On the fishing front, on Saturday morning, Craig ‘Costa’ Costigan and I spotted trevally boffing up the walls near Boyds Bay Bridge. Craig and I hooked on at the same time. Craig landed a beauty and I lost two jackall cubbies worth $50. I should have known better. I had on a 4lb leader but couldn’t help myself from casting into water that was exploding with fish, something you don’t see that often.

Operation Lifejackets targets boaters Last weekend NSW Maritime launched ‘Operation Lifejackets’ to educate boaters about new lifejacket laws and to encourage a culture of safe and responsible boating, NSW Maritime General Manager Maritime Operations Howard Glenn said. Mr Glenn said the state-wide boating safety campaign was a joint operation between NSW Maritime and the volunteer units of Marine Rescue New South Wales. ‘The aim is to raise awareness of the new lifejacket laws, especially the need to wear

lifejackets at times of heightened risk such as boating alone or boating offshore,’ said Mr Glenn. ‘The aim of Operation Lifejackets is to educate the boating community about the new lifejacket rules to improve boating safety. ‘Last year, 23 lives were lost in boating incidents and too often this involved drowning and small vessels.’ Under the new laws all boaters must wear lifejackets on vessels less than 4.8 metres at night, on open (ocean) waters, on alpine waters, and when boating alone. Children

under 12 years must wear lifejackets on boats less than 4.8m or when they in open areas of vessels less than 8 metres that are underway. The length of 4.8m is being used because that is a length used in international standards for vessel buoyancy and stability; boats under that length are more susceptible to swamping and capsizing. Marine Rescue NSW will support the campaign in an education role only. For more information on boating safety, go to www.maritime.nsw.gov.au.

BNI is an international referral-based business networking group with a successful chapter based in the Tweed. We meet every Thursday 8.15am–10am. BNI Eagle chapter passes at least $2m in business amongst its members each year.

joke? That was the infamous name of a body set up to fund a group of council candidates in 2004 using a huge developer slush fund, which effectively ‘bought’ control of the Tweed council before the state got wind of it, held an inquiry and sacked them for being the puppets of developers. Some people may ask what’s changed since then. Backburner wonders whether ratepayers will get their money’s worth with this new expanded organisation which is generously funded by council to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The name change is nothing but an insult to the community; the tourism chief was around at the time and must be aware of this sordid bit of local political history. Tweed Tourism members should steer well clear of this ugly reminder of the past.

Right: Former Independent MP John Hatton, the politician responsible for launching the 1990s royal commission into corruption in the NSW police, toured the Tweed Shire last week to relaunch his political career in the upper house. He found a signpost for Hattons Road at Condong named after district pioneer Harold Hatton. ‘I wonder if we’re related?’ Hatton asked as he posed for photographs under the sign. Well, John, you are related. Mrs Teresa Owen, who lives opposite with husband Dennis and son Chris, is a member of the Hatton clan and a second cousin to the anti-corruption fighter. She’s also a blood relative of ex-prime minister Kevin Rudd. Small world. All are most likely descended from one of the Tweed’s earliest European settlers, Harry Hatton, who operated a blacksmith’s shop at Byangum near Murwillumbah. A large rocky outcrop across the river there known as Hattons Bluff is also named after him, while a historic fig tree on Kyogle Road at Byangum which was recently chopped down by council crews was planted by him in 1898 on the birth of his second son and known Hattons Fig Tree.

An ABC TV telemovie screening this Sunday night called Sisters of War was inspired by the true story of two extraordinary Australian women, one of whom, Sister Berenice Twohill (Claire van der Boom), is a Roman Catholic nun born and bred on the Tweed. The other is Lorna Whyte (Sarah Snook), an army nurse who with Sister Berenice and other Australian nurses and nuns were captured by the Japanese army in World War II in Papua New Guinea and made prisoners of war. The film is based on their diaries. Sister Berenice, 93, is in a nursing home in Sydney. One of her many nephews living in the Tweed, Justin Twohill, told The Echo that ‘a busload of 50 Twohills’ were travelling to Brisbane tonight, Thursday, for a screening of the movie, already sold out. Sister Berenice was born in Murwillumbah, grew up in Tumbulgum and went to school at Uki. The Twohill family farm at Tumbulgum is still in the family, run by her relatives. The film’s producer Andrew Wiseman said it was ‘rare that a war drama has such powerful roles for women, rarer still that those roles are inspired by true stories’.

rises, commissioned by the Local Government Association of Queensland, says nothing can be done to stop prices skyrocketing, blaming the state government because of its bulk water costs making up two-thirds of the price of water. Ratepayers there are paying around $770 a year for water, and Backburner can see the same thing happening on the Tweed unless recycling, dual reticulation and rainwater harvesting with tanks is mandated.

A news item in our last issue covered Tweed Council’s backing of the proposal by North Byron Shire Parklands to stage the Splendour in the Grass festival at its 256-hectare site at Yelgun just across the Tweed border. The item stated that Byron Shire Council had stopped the festival company staging a trial event on the site for the first time last year. In fact Byron Council approved the trial but it was then successfully challenged by the community in the Land and Environment Court. Q Q Q Q

Are they worried or what? the local Nationals appear to be seething that the Liberals’ Cr Joan van Lieshout is standing as an Independent in the upcoming March state election against sitting MP Geoff Provest. The Nats’ attack dog, Murray Lees, described by the local daily as a ‘conservative political analyst’, stuck the fangs in this week, saying she could be ‘humiliated’ if she stands. He also said she had a poor electoral record and was only known ‘for her husband’s wealth’. The Libs cannot field a candidate against the Nats under the state coalition agreement, unlike the federal sphere where both parties fielded candidates in Richmond last election. Mr Lees gave the game away when he said the only people ‘cheering her along would be Labor Party strategists’. Backburner reckons she has a great chance of taking the seat from the Nats with Labor and Greens preferences. Q Q Q Q

Despite the state opposition calling for a freeze on more than $250,000 donated to the NSW Labor Party by a company linked to Ron Medich, the man accused of murdering businessman Michael McGurk, the loot will stay in the party’s coffers pending his court case, the Daily Telegraph reported yesterday. However, Labor officials said the money would be given to charity if millionaire developer Ron Medich was found guilty. State Nationals leader Andrew Stoner said that if premier Kristina Keneally was genuine about wanting to clean up politics then she ‘shouldn’t be spending money on winning an election that was provided by a person on murder charges’.

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.

<echowebsection=Backburner>

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
