Schoolies about to descend on Byron Bay By Sarah Waters School is out for summer and more than 8000 year-12 school leavers or ‘schoolies’ are expected to arrive in Byron Bay tomorrow to celebrate. The Australian rite of passage, which has been going for 43 years, will see high school graduates party through late November to early December. Byron Bay’s relaxed coastal atmosphere and eclectic night life has made it a ‘top schoolies destination’ with thousands of young people continuing to flock there year after year. Byron Shire Mayor Michael Lyon congratulated the young people, who had finished their schooling, but cautioned them to be responsible. “It’s always a busy time of the year for the

Turning the town purple to fight for respectful relationships ‘up their game’ and through the ClubGrants program, the bowling club donated $25,000 for more purple shirts, to the Rotary Club in Ballina. They then invited as many businesses as possible to get their staff wearing the purple shirts. “We just thought if we paint our town purple every Friday, we can get a conversation started about domestic violence,” he said. “When we offered the shirts, we thought a few businesses might take it up, but instead it went beserk with Ballina Shire Council being the first and putting an order in for 140. “We are thankful to the many businesses who have come on board to unite as one against domestic violence.”
By Samantha Elley If Tere Sheehan gets his way, purple will be the colour everyone sees each Friday, stretching from Ballina, where he is CEO of Cherry Street Bowling Club, right up to the Tweed. “We have been running a Purple Friday campaign to show our support in the fight against domestic violence,” he said. “Two Christmases ago we joined with Rotary and put our staff in purple shirts every Friday. “Then on 1st January this year of 2023, there was news of a woman in our area dying from domestic violence.” From there Mr Sheehan said they had to really
Purple shirts against domestic violence
Just last week, Mr Sheehan and representatives from Rotary, accompanied Ballina MP Justine Elliott to Parliament House in Canberra as part of the launch of the national campaign against family violence. “It was wonderful for our group to represent this vital work and voice it at a national level,” he said. “Cherry Street Sports Group and Ballina Shire businesses have been the instigators of spreading awareness and opening up conversations.” Mr Sheehan said he was now trying to get fellow club CEOs, up as far as the Tweed, to get their staff wearing the purple shirts. “We will be advocating this campaign in other
clubs in other towns and cities to ‘Say NO to domestic violence and YES to respectful relationships’.” On Friday December 1, Mr Sheehan said the annual Domestic Violence walk will take place through the streets of Ballina. “We have the support of both the NSW and QLD police,” he said. “We will start at Ballina pool, and with the roads closed off, it will head down the town centre, to Ballina school, opposite our club. “We will have our greens painted purple for the day and will encourage everyone to come over for some memorable shots.”

Celebrating 50 years of Las Balsas Expedition By Samantha Elley When 10 year old Fernand ‘Fern’ Robichaud heard the story of Marc Modena and his trek across the Atlantic Ocean on a raft from Canada to England, it was a story that would stay with him over the years. “When I was 24, I contacted him and after that we became good friends,” said Fern at the 50 year anniversary of the Las Balsas expedition held last weekend at Ballina Naval & Maritime Museum. “He invited me to come on the expedition.” That expedition would make world headlines as it left Ecuador on May 27, 1973 and sailed for 178 days across the Pacific Ocean, having covered around 14,000km with 12 men on three rafts. (Balsa is the Spanish word for raft). They saw their fair share of bad and good weather and amazing sea life. “We sailed through a hurricane and were in the eye of a cyclone,” said Fern. “The rafts became a floating atoll. “First you had the little fish feeding near you and that attracted the bigger fish and then, of course, the sharks.” Seafood was definitely on the menu for

President of the Ballina Naval & Maritime Museum, Dick Greaves, said when they moved into its present site, a purpose built extension was made to the roof of the old Ballina Information Centre to be able to house the last remaining raft of the Las Balsas expedition.

Specialist mental health service for new parents opens in Lismore By Sarah Waters New and expecting parents in the Northern Rivers will now have access to free specialised mental health care as they navigate their journey through parenthood. Last Friday, Gidget House officially opened at Tresillian Lismore Family Care Centre to support parents struggling with perinatal depression and anxiety. Gidget House provides year-long, free individual psychological counselling services and holistic care delivered face-to face and via telehealth. New data from Gidget Foundation Australia reveals one in two parents living in regional NSW lack both emotional and practical support from their family and friends. A quarter of parents in regional NSW also needed the most support between 3-12 months after the birth of their child. While one in three felt a loss of identity in most aspects of their life after having a baby. NSW Minister for Mental Health Rose Jackson officially opened Gidget House and welcomed the service for expectant and new parents to the area. Ms Jackson said families across the Northern Rivers had experienced unparalleled challenges over recent

years with floods and threats of fires, whilst still navigating adjusting to early parenthood. “This is why providing mental health support in regional communities such as Lismore and the surrounds is a top priority of ours,” she said. “It’s important for expectant and new parents to have access to quality services like Gidget Foundation Australia in times of need and know that help is never too far away.” Gidget Foundation Australia CEO Arabella Gibson said the expansion of face-toface services across the state will provide much needed support for parents in regional locations.

“With half of parents in regional NSW reporting a lack of emotional and practical support after having a baby, it’s necessary for us to expand our services to reach more mums and dads who may be struggling,” Ms Gibson said. “As part of our valued commitment to support the emotional wellbeing of expectant and new parents across the country, we’re hopeful our expansion to Lismore will provide a safe space for open conversations with perinatal specialist clinicians.” It is estimated that perinatal depression and anxiety affect almost 100,000 expectant and new parents in Australia each year.

About 8am last Thursday a fire broke out at the premises of Clarence Valley Imaging in River St, Maclean. The building, between the Maclean Ambulance Station and Clarence Valley Council building was alight by the time fire fighters began to arrive. Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the Clarence Valley Imaging building which was totally destroyed. Fire and Rescue Maclean were the first fire fire crew on the scene, along with NSW Ambulance, located next door. Maclean SES took on traffic control and crews from Fire and Rescue Yamba, Grafton and South Grafton plus Rural Fire Service crews and Yamba SES were called in to assist.

City landmark falls to start $29.5 mil project By Tim Howard A Grafton landmark has disappeared in the past week, but it’s proof that a much awaited facility is on target for a December 2024 opening. The Grafton Memorial Pool waterslide which dominated the landscaping of the pool grounds for decades has come down and heavy machinery has begun tearing up the pool structures and surrounding ground to begin stage one of the $29.5 million project The head contractor, Bathurst firm Hines Constructions Pty Ltd, has promised Clarence Valley Council it will complete stage 1 of the project, known as the Regional Aquatic Centre, by December 2024. The first stage will include the indoor facility, which includes two 25 metre pools.

The name Grafton Memorial Pool was a reference to the boys that died on that day almost 80 years ago. After fundraising, construction of the pool began in 1954 and it opened in 1956, the year of the Melbourne Olympics. In the pool’s first year of operation it was visited by a touring squad of Olympic swimmers which included Sport Australia Hall of Famer, Jon Henricks. During the visit Henricks competed in the 50m freestyle at a club event which he won in 25.60 seconds before going on to Melbourne to become Australia’s first ever Olympic 100m freestyle champion and set a new world record.

How is your mental health? So many of us work very hard, some not so much, on our physical health, but how many of us ensure we are fit mentally? Do you talk about anything that is worrying you, or do you tend to build it up inside? I am asking because, while it’s been lovely to get the rain we have had recently, there is that teeny tiny knot in my stomach that reminds me of what we went through 20 months ago. Don’t get me wrong. I love a cosy settled-in rainy day where I get to read or give Netflix a

I find it helpful to chat, just in a casual way, with neighbours about the weather as we all have similar concerns, but we also react differently. When I asked my neighbours what they felt about a recent storm, they were very upbeat, saying we needed it as the ground was very dry, so it was a good thing. There you go… perspective! I liked that and it stopped me from
falling down a stress hole over something that was actually positive. I also realised, it takes quite an event for flooding to happen, as most of us know. So rather than stressing over every little garden variety storm, I should just appreciate the magnificence of such a weather event. There will be other things that will take up our stress time, why add to it? If you are not sure, have a chat with a friend or neighbour. If nothing else, you will have had a nice talk. Little steps

Lennox Head para surfer Joel Taylor wins world title By Sarah Waters Not many people can experience a devastating, lifechanging injury and then go on to be a world champion. But in a story of unbelievable triumph, Lennox Head para surfer Joel Taylor, 43, has done exactly that. Joel is now the 2023 ISA World Para Surfing Champion. The competition, held at Huntington Beach in California, attracted 184 of the world’s best para surfers from 27 countries, who competed over six days for the champion title. Joel competed in the Men’s Prone 1 Division and got off to a strong start, topping the leaderboard in the two qualifying rounds. He pushed himself to the limit in round three and the semifinals to qualify for the final, which he finished with an amazing score of 13.17 points out of 20. Joel said he dreamt of being a world champion since he was 13 years old, when he first saw Australian bodyboarder Michael ‘Eppo’ Eppelstun

win the bodyboarding world championship in 1993. “I’m so stoked and really proud - and kind of relieved,” he said. “I’ve been focused on winning this contest pretty much since I started para surfing just over 12 months ago, to do so, with my family on the beach, is a dream come true.” What made Joel’s victory so remarkable was that up until last year, he hadn’t been in the
ocean for two decades. At 21-years-old he was Australia’s rising star of bodyboarding. But things went horribly wrong for him in the lead up to the 2001 Pipeline Pro bodyboarding competition in Hawaii. A ‘shockwave’ flipped him out of control and forced him down feet first onto the shallow reef below him, injuring his spinal cord and leaving him paralysed from the waist down. He has been confined to
a wheelchair ever since. Despite the dark years that followed the accident, as Joel tried to process his new reality, he managed to launch a new business venture, Unite Clothing Company. It has gone on to be one of the country’s top bodyboarding brands and a formidable clothing label in its own right. The thought of surfing again at a competition level was pushed aside as his life was consumed with work. Eventually, he met his wife Lorin, and they had two young boys, Jay and Sunny, who he wanted to introduce to the ocean. “We have world renowned beaches and surf spots here in the Northern Rivers,” Joel
said. “I was lucky enough to grow up here too, so I wanted to give my young sons the same lifestyle that I had growing up. “That was my main motivation.” Last year, Joel decided to get back on a board and enter the ocean again. The ocean gave him a renewed sense of freedom and energy that he hadn’t felt for 22 years. It wasn’t long before his competitive spirit came back and although he may not have been able to bodyboard like he used to, he adapted his style to the next closest thing para surfing. Joel trained at the gym almost every day and surfed as much as possible at Northern
Rivers beaches, which had similar waves to Huntington Beach in California. “My arms are pretty strong from pushing a wheelchair around for the past 20 years and chasing my boys around in it,” he said. “But it took me about four months to get my paddle fitness up again. “I knew if I trained hard and prepared well, I’d have a good shot at claiming gold, so I did everything I could beforehand to make it happen,” he said. While, claiming the ISA World Para Surfing Championship title may have secured Joel’s long held dream of becoming a world champion, the competition also proved to be a great eye-opener and inspiration for him.

Kevin Hogan RICHMOND RANGE RUGBY CLUB, MALLANGANEE I love this club. They folded over a decade ago and reformed in 2020. They have over 40 players (including a 36 year old dairy farmer who’d never picked up a rugby ball) and a women’s team. They get 300-400 people at a game and they have won 2 premierships in a row! Thank you to Alex Gibbon who has been instrumental in bringing this club back. It was great to see some upgrades from grants I was able to obtain. New lighting and storage for training gear and equipment. A scoreboard, spectator seating and linemaker. They have just got a new grant for a new turf field as well. ST MARY’S CATHOLIC COLLEGE CASINO St Mary’s Catholic College Casino is looking fantastic. A
multi million dollar upgrade was finished earlier this year. The refurbishment, named The Mercy Centre, includes four state of the art science laboratories with integrated digital technology, ten general learning classrooms, open learning spaces, study pods, and a canteen and gymnasium. It was great to assist with this upgrade from a $3.6 million grant I announced back in 2019. A wonderful school in our community. CORCORAN PARK GRAFTON “Who let the dogs out”. It was the official opening of this wonderful dog park end of last month. The construction included a fenced dog park, active and quiet zones, access road, viewing areas, carpark, covered pathways, park furniture, shade shelters, dog agility equipment, a water station and
landscaping. It was fantastic to have obtained co-funding for this grant. My State colleague Richie Williamson MP and I were very happy to work with Clarence Valley Council on this project. JACARANDA BALL 2023 Great night at the Jacaranda Ball. Beautiful setting at The Barn. Congratulations to all the contestants this year. And a big thank you to Mark Blackadder and the committee. The Jacaranda Festival for 2023 was a fantastic event. Congratulations again to Jacaranda King Toby Power, Jacaranda Princess Tilly Sparrow, Junior Jacaranda Queen Holly Cooper, Junior Jacaranda Princess Millie Lloyd and Matron of Honour, Renee Hankinson. I look forward to this great event in 2024. Love Jacaranda. REMEMBRANCE
DAY 2023 Really moving service in Grafton on Saturday. It was also the 100th anniversary of the Cenotaph. Remembrance Day is an exceptionally important day. We pay tribute to all Australians who have served in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations. And we honour the memories of those 103,000 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. Lest We Forget. KYOGLE MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL CLUB Kyogle Mountain Bike Trail Club has extended the existing track by nearly 3km. It lifts it to world standard. This will allow them to host bigger clinics and competitions. Also new map signage and new seating options. It was great to assist this project with a grant. Another great facility in our community.

Kerbside EV charging comes to Byron Bay The two new dual chargers, located on Childe Street, Belongil and Wordsworth Street, Byron Bay are set to help tackle charge delays ahead of the summer holiday period Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure company, EVX is continuing to deliver convenient kerbside charging to regional Australia, launching two of its Australian-made EVX Polechargers to Byron Bay – just in time for the summer holiday season. As an alternative to waiting for highway adjacent ‘rapid charging’, kerbside EV charging allows users to benefit from charging while at their destination when stopping for an hour or more. This type of charging infrastructure is critical to tackling bottlenecks at other charging facilities, particularly during holiday periods. EVX CEO, Andrew Forster, said: “Byron Bay is one of the state’s most loved road trip holiday destinations, but to date, the charging infrastructure hasn’t met the demand – particularly during key holiday periods where we
are seeing queues at rapid charging stations along the main highways, up and down the coast.” There’s a fair level of tolerance in the ‘early adopter’ EV community for charging delays, but as the number of EVs on Australia’s roads continues to increase, that tolerance level will fall dramatically. We are thrilled to be part of the solution to bring more EV charging to regional Australia.” These kerbside chargers are part of a trial with EVX and Essential Energy to test the feasibility of installing chargers on Essential Energy-owned power poles across regional New South Wales. The two new Byron Bay chargers are in addition to last month’s launch of new chargers on the mid-north coast. Essential Energy Chief Commercial Officer, Justin Hillier added: “More charging stations across regional, rural, and remote NSW will help overcome one of the main barriers for those looking to purchase an EV – range anxiety. We are working with charge point operators, like EVX, and local councils, like Bryon Shire Council to
Byron Shire Mayor, Michal Lyon, at the Wordsworth Street EVX pole charger
see more charge points installed on the network, as part of our commitment to facilitate the adoption of electric vehicles.” Byron Shire Mayor, Michal Lyon, added: “We are thankful that EVX and Essential Energy have chosen Byron Bay in their one-year trial of electric vehicle charging stations at Childe Street and Wordsworth Street. Council staff worked with them to select appropriate locations and facilitate installation, as well as supporting with line marking and signage,” he said. “These stations will encourage drivers to
consider driving or owning an electric vehicle by giving them more options to choose from around the Shire and align with the Council’s broader sustainability strategy and climate change mitigation goals. “Other charging stations can be found near Byron Bay Library and the Mullumbimby Council Building,” he added. Kerbside charging essential for regional Australia With more than eight per cent[1] of new cars sold now running on electricity, regional areas
are struggling to provide the infrastructure needed to sustain local EV drivers and EV-driving tourists. Forster comments: “The barriers to buying an EV are starting to disappear, but as EV numbers on our roads quickly rise, there’s a lot of work to do to ensure Australia’s charging infrastructure keeps pace, particularly in rural and regional Australia which have so far been lagging city and metro areas.” “When regional areas fall behind, this not only contributes to the range anxiety experienced by EV owners who travel longer distances, it also disincentivises those in regional areas to make the important switch to EVs.” EVX’s one-of-a-kind kerbside chargers can be installed with ease on pre-existing (utility pole) infrastructure. The chargers have a low impact on the local electricity grid infrastructure by utilising AC charging with smart charging capability. Their installation on existing power poles means the above-ground charging points are easily added without the need for major civil works.
EVX at the forefront of Council and electricity distributor partnerships EVX aims to partner with more electricity distributors and local councils to increase the availability of charging opportunities outside the home and fastcharging stations. To date, EVX has made agreements with Ausgrid and the City of Newcastle, as well as with the City of Sydney, and is set to announce more partnerships with other key distributors. EVX is one of the only charging technologies that has been locally designed and manufactured and is compliant with Australian regulations. EVX can partner with electricity distributors to install chargers on existing electricity infrastructure, enabling a more costeffective and quicker rollout of EV chargers. EVX developed the EVX Polecharger from the ground up to meet the challenges utility providers and local governments face in rolling out EV charging infrastructure sustainably while adhering to local electrical and planning regulations.

HOT SHOWERS INSTALLED AT BRUNSWICK HEADS PARK FOR THOSE SLEEPING ROUGH HOT showers are something that we take for granted, but for those sleeping rough they can be difficult to access. In an effort to ease this problem, Reflections Holiday Parks and Byron Shire Council have partnered to jointly fund the installation of hot water at the amenity block at Banner Park Reserve, Brunswick Heads. The aim of the initiative is to provide hot water to help people who are sleeping rough. Hot water is now available daily in the public amenity block at Banner Park Reserve between 6am and 11am. To support water conservation, showers
will run on a timer. Banner Park Reserve is maintained by Reflections for the local community and is part of the 15 acres of public reserves that Reflections looks after in the Byron Shire. Reflections uses proceeds from its holiday parks to provide nature reserves, BBQs and amenities for the local community. Reflections CEO Nick Baker said the role of Reflections, the only holiday park group in Australia that is a certified social enterprise, was not only to nurture land on behalf of the NSW public but also to do ‘business for good’ as a profit-forpurpose organisation. “As a Crown Land
Manager and a social enterprise, Reflections reinvests profit from holiday parks into public nature reserves for the enjoyment of the local community, and we also partner with community organisations on initiatives that benefit the community,” Mr Baker said. “We are really pleased to partner with Byron Shire Council to help the local community and look forward to continuing to work together.” Cr. Michael Lyon, Mayor of Byron Shire Council, said he was grateful to Reflections for working with Council to provide the service for the people in the community who were
sleeping rough, adding that “a simple thing like a hot shower can make the world of difference to someone.” “Byron Shire has the highest number of people sleeping rough in NSW, ahead of the City of Sydney, and they are some of the most vulnerable members of our community,” Cr. Lyon said. “While appropriate housing and support services are what’s needed to for people to exit homelessness, we also need to make sure that they have access to basic amenities, like hot showers, that support dignity and well-being.”

Iconic ice cream and lolly shop turns 10 By Samantha Elley It is said, there are two reasons people come to Evans Head. Obviously, the beach is the first but secondly would be to visit Muzza’s Milkbar in Oak Street. Owned by Evans Head resident Caroline Powell, the iconic ice cream and lolly shop is turning 10 years old and they are planning a huge party. The shop first opened on 3rd December, 2013 by Caroline’s mum, Petria Powell after the death of her husband Murray. “It was a way of dealing with the grief but not have to go into a workplace,” said Petria. “It was a place for me to go more than anything else, a place to make memories. “To see children enjoying ice cream and sweets, families coming in, it was everything Murray and I stood for.” Sergeant Murray Powell of Byron Bay police station was a police officer for 39 years, 25 of those in Byron Bay. “Unfortunately, he got pancreatic cancer,” said Caroline. “He died on 28th December, 2011.” Petria started to expand by opening a Muzza’s store in Lismore, followed by a shoe store. “I was 20 when we opened the shop and I worked part-time for mum on and off,” said Caroline. “In the last year before I took over I
was working for mum full-time.” With the three stores, Petria knew it was too much for her and Caroline put her hand up to take over the Evans Head store. “At the age of 25 I took on the shop,” said Caroline. “I loved the ice cream
to do two weeks home quarantine, and I was not able to leave the confines of my tiny little unit. “I was jotting down ideas into a notebook and I thought ‘Why don’t we just deliver?’” And so Muzza’s started delivering. With a freezer in her car and a will to make

Now on the eve of celebrating 10 years of the business, Caroline said it has grown ten-fold. “We offer ice cream, lollies, milk shakes, thick shakes, in winter we supply donuts,” she said. “We do ice cream cakes. Give me an idea and I will try and make it work. “Gift boxes and lolly

“I am hoping to get more of the ‘Old Favourites’, I am calling it.” The popularity of the shop is reflected in the amount of ice cream they are able to sell. “The company we buy our ice cream from, Everest ice cream, we are their largest customer in Queensland,” Caroline said. “They supply as far south as Newcastle and to as far north as Rockhampton. “Even their customers, Dreamworld and Australia Zoo, we beat them in ice cream sales. “At Christmas time we get three weekly deliveries of over 300 tubs in each delivery.” Caroline has plans to expand and open another Muzza’s store and possibly a warehouse to house all the extra stock they have. “She has made it what it is today,” said Petria. “I am as proud as punch. She has looked outside the square especially during covid and found a way to beat it. She has a lot of resilience. “Whatever she does she will put 120% into it.” Muzza’s is having a party on December 3, 2023 from midday on, behind Club Evans RSL where there will be live music, food trucks and plenty of ice cream and lollies. “Bring a rug or a chair and come and sit by the river,” said Caroline. “It’s our way of giving back to the community for all the support they’ve given us.”

RELIEF AS ST JOSEPH’S PRIMARY SCHOOL AT WOODBURN ESCAPES THE CHOP The announcement by the Board of Diocese of Lismore Catholic Schools that it has reversed a decision to permanently close St Joseph’s Primary School in Woodburn is a common-sense decision and a win for local mums, dads, carers and students according to the State MP representing the region, Richie Williamson. “Education was hit hard in the lower parts of the Richmond Valley in the 2022 floods, with both St Joseph’s Primary at Woodburn and Broadwater Public School rendered
unusable,” Mr Williamson said. “Students have been travelling to Evans Head for their learning at temporary sites but now the Catholic Diocese has listened to local families and will reopen its primary school in Woodburn and School Infrastructure NSW will rebuild Broadwater next year.” Mr Williamson said the decisions would help return a sense of normalcy to the two flood-affected towns on the Richmond River. “These two communities need and deserve local schools,
not just for the benefit of families but the flow on effects for community harmony, small business and the local economy,” Mr Williamson said. “Families in Sydney are used to having easy access to schools in their neighbourhood and it is good to see the Diocese of Lismore and Schools Infrastructure NSW both recognise that this right should also be available to regional communities like those in the Richmond Valley. “While I appreciate the obstacles the Diocese of Lismore was faced with around continuing schooling at the flood
prone site at Woodburn, I thank them for reaching this sensible decision which will provide certainty and stability for families and staff.” Mr Williamson said much more still needed to be done to complete flood recovery, but steps like reopening schools were a big leap forward. “We need to keep working together until everyone is back on their feet and we mitigate the risks of future disasters, because everyone counts,” Mr Williamson concluded.
Mullum Recovery Centre recognised
From Crisis to Courageous Title: What Ebony Grey Forgot Author: Kay Lindley Price: $19.95 Publisher: Shawline Publishing By Samantha Elley There are often times in our lives where everything seems to go wrong at once. For Ebony Grey, this was her time. First there was the loss of her husband, then the loss of her job, then finally the discovery that she was a fraud. Introverted by nature, Ebony hides behind a wall of gregariousness as head of risk and fraud in a finance company. However, when her husband leaves her suddenly she develops a loss of confidence and moves back home to her mother’s for some badly needed support. At work, while
investigating, not only a fraud case, but also the whereabouts of her husband, her boss starts gas lighting her, causing her to make mistakes. It is during a board meeting that she experiences an incident that reminds her of a long forgotten trauma from her childhood. From there she starts on a road of healing that will take her from a place of crisis to courageous. Kay Lindley has had a long career in large corporations in the field of risk management, but her larger interest is in helping people with their problems. She has delved into the world of hypnotherapy and worked as a coach in this field. Her other book, available from Amazon, is called ‘Retrain your brain. Stop, Switch, Sustain’. You can purchase a copy of ‘What Ebony Grey Forgot’ from shawlinepublishing. com.au.
The Mullum Recovery Centre has earned recognition as a finalist in the prestigious NSW Resilient Australia Awards 2023, emphasizing its commendable efforts to connect the community with vital recovery services following the destructive floods of February and March 2022. Although not securing the top position in the local government category, the acknowledgment as a finalist underscores the significant impact of the centre’s work. Established at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall from March to August 2022 in response to the devastating flood events, the Mullum Recovery Centre served as a crucial hub for disaster-affected residents. Beyond offering formal support services, it provided a welcoming space for impacted individuals to connect, share information, and support one another. Byron Shire Mayor Michael Lyon commended the collaborative efforts of the Council, Mullumbimby District Neighbourhood Centre, and Resilience NSW, along with various local community organizations and state and national services. Mayor Lyon expressed gratitude, recognizing the Mullum Recovery Centre as a benchmark for recovery centres across Australia. The NSW Resilient Australia Awards, sponsored by the Australian Government and managed by the Australian Institute for Disaster Resilience
(AIDR), celebrate initiatives fostering whole-community resilience during disasters. The Mullum Recovery Centre also secured the Community Partnerships award category at the 2023 LG Professionals NSW Awards. Council, in collaboration with other government
levels and the community, remains committed to the ongoing recovery journey and addressing persistent climate challenges. Additionally, Council acknowledged Shedding Community Workshop, winners of the Mental Health & Wellbeing category at the awards, for their post-flood repair and
recovery initiative. The organization, transforming their workshop, played a vital role in supporting volunteers and aiding flood-affected communities, earning them the 2023 Community Initiative of Byron Shire award earlier this year.

Members of the public enjoy ‘The Village’ by Lucas Wright at the Gollan Hotel, 73 Keen Street.
Lismore City Council, in a creative collaboration with the Lismore Regional Gallery and CBD property owners, has transformed the city’s CBD with an interactive ArtVenture Trail. The trail features reproduced artworks from the Lismore Regional Gallery, turning emp-ty shopfronts into surprising exhibition spaces and infusing the city with renewed vitality and artistic flair. Lismore City Mayor Steve Krieg said the art installations were a celebration of the Lismore Regional Gallery’s surviving collection of local works and each piece told a rich story about the history of art in Lismore. “The works featured on the trail are a showcase of art that has been gifted or pur-chased by the gallery over several decades telling the story of the artists who have contributed to our social fabric. “As our CBD continues to get back on its feet, with more eateries and retail options opening, local businesses will now be complemented by an initiative that gives locals and visitors the opportunity to explore national and locally significant artists,” he said.
“We invite visitors to immerse themselves in the trail experience and to support our lo-cal businesses and Back Lismore.” The trail currently includes thirteen artworks spanning various CBD locations, where people can uncover hidden artistic gems within the urban landscape. The trail will continue to evolve with new art pieces being added and others coming down as shops are filled. Lismore Regional Gallery Curator Kezia Geddes said she is thrilled to be able to take the gallery to the people and have prominent artwork displayed again in Lismore. “Many of the artworks are by nationally and locally significant artists that have been part of the Lismore Regional Gallery’s permanent collection since 1948,” she said. “It is the first time these pieces have been on public exhibition since the 2022 natural disaster, so we are excited to share them with visitors to enjoy.” Destination Coordinator at Lismore City Council Karen Hirst said the art trail gives visi-tors the sense of character and unique vibe of our CBD.
“ArtVenture is not just an art trail, it’s an immersive experience that guides people through the heart of Lismore,” she said. “It’s a journey that reveals the city’s unique character, showcasing our rich artistic her-itage and vibrant community life, including our delightful shops and eateries. This project beautifies our streets and celebrates our city’s resilience and creative spirit.” Visitors can embark on this artistic journey by picking up a map of the ArtVenture Trail at the Lismore Regional Gallery, the pop-up space at 46 Magellan Street, Lismore, the Council Chambers at 43 Oliver Avenue, Goonellabah, or by downloading it from www.visitlismore.com. au. This initiative is a collaborative effort between Lismore City Council, Lismore Regional Gallery and local property owners, aiming to revitalise the cityscape through art and community engagement. Property owners with vacant shops interested in participating in the ArtVenture Trail are encouraged to express their interest on Lismore City Council’s Your Say page at https://yoursay. lismore.nsw.gov.au.

Need for speed? Why some speedometers lag behind reality A UNSW road safety expert breaks down the truth about why speedo read-ings can be different from GPS measurements. Have you ever noticed how sometimes the display on your vehicle’s speed-ometer is different from the speed shown on the navigation app on your phone? You’re not alone. And it’s all to do with ADRs. The Australian Design Rules (ADRs) - set by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, and the Arts - are the national standards for road safety and specify how a car should be de-signed and made fit for purpose when it’s sold in Australia. According to the ADRs, car manufacturers are prohibited from under-reporting a vehicle’s speed. As a result, vehicle manufacturers often calibrate the speedometers at the factory so that it reads above the actual real speed of the car. Road safety expert, Emeritus Professor Michael Regan, says most manufac-turers do this to avoid any chance whatsoever the car might be travelling at a speed that is higher than the reading on the dashboard. “ADRs require a speedo tolerance of zero per cent under to 10 per cent above the actual speed, so manufacturers typically set it at about five per cent over,” Prof. Regan says. “This means the speedo is likely to read 100 kilometres per hour when, in ac-tual fact, your real speed is 95 kilometres per hour.” What determines your speedometer reading The displayed speed that you’re travelling on the road is determined by the vehicle’s tyres, says Prof. Regan. “Speedometers are calibrated to read based on the rate of revolution of the car’s power train. This, in turn, depends on the tyres and it’s usually on a set of new tyres of a certain circumference,” he says. “When the
manufacturer carries out speed calibration tests, they’re based on brand new tyres. “But over time, as the tyres experience normal wear and tear, they get small-er in circumference. This changes the accuracy of the reading of the speedometer – again showing a higher speed than the actual speed. “So if you’ve had tyres on your car for a long time, and the tread on the tyre wears away over time, that means that the wheels are revolving faster than they would be if your car was fitted with brand new tyres. “So as your tyres get older, your speedo actually overestimates your speed so you might think you’re going faster than you actually are. In any case, if the tyres are worn enough to make a noticeable change to the speedo read-ing then it is likely time to replace them.” What about my speed on my GPS? Many drivers use mobile navigation apps which also measure and display the speed being travelled within the interface. But unlike the speedometer, these apps take advantage of global position-ing satellite (GPS) technology to calculate speed by determining the time taken to travel a given distance. As a result, the GPS speed is often hailed as being more accurate than the car’s speedo, says Prof. Regan. “While there may be a very short time lag as the GPS calculations re-adjust, it’s so
insignificant that drivers probably won’t notice it,” he says. “If you’re driving on a flat, straight road, the GPS is likely to be more accurate than what’s displayed on your speedo. “However, if you’re going up or down a steep hill, the actual speed (for ex-ample, as measured by Police mobile radar) will usually be greater than the GPS value but proportional to the steepness of the road you’re travelling on. “It is the change in elevation, relative to the GPS satellites circling above, that results in the error. Horizontal bends do not affect it. “In theory a clever GPS device could account for the road steepness and ad-just the displayed speed so it is more accurate. However, this is a relatively rare situation and there is no strong justification for navigation devices to make this adjustment. Drivers should just bear this factor in mind when driv-ing on steep roads. “To be absolutely sure how fast you’re driving, you need to know how much the car’s speedo is out by.” So why don’t vehicle manufacturers use the GPS navigation system that is inside virtually all modern cars to calibrate the speedometer more accurate-ly? Prof. Regan says current regulations do not require or encourage it. “In the future, I hope this changes, because drivers would want the most ac-curate reading to know how fast they’re actually
going. This feature could also automatically adjust for tyre wear and replacement tyres.” Radar speed feedback signs Radar speed signs are used for traffic management of road projects or in school zones and display your speed as you approach and drive past. If you’re driving at or below the speed limit, you’ll often be rewarded with a smiley face or your speed displayed on the screen. However, if you’re driving over the speed limit, a sad face or sign telling you to slow down usually ap-pears. Radar speed feedback signs use radar systems to measure the time taken between the sending and receiving of the radar signals from a car at one point and this time difference is converted into distance. The process is repeated again, and the radar speed signs calculate the new distance. The speed is calculated based on the two different distances and this is then displayed on the sign. Prof. Regan says some drivers may find that the detected speed can be dif-ferent from the one showing on their speedometer. “It’s just the way they’re set - just like how our car’s speedo is usually higher than the GPS speed,” he says. “These radar speed signs serve as a reminder for us to assess our speed as we approach areas with changing conditions – especially near zones where there may be more construction workers using the road. “In some studies,
radar speed signs have been shown to be highly effective in reducing speeds and increasing the number vehicles adhering to the speed limit in the areas installed. “The public nature of having your speed displayed for everyone to see makes you more accountable.” Intelligent Speed Adaptation Prof. Regan says the important next step in car safety technology is imple-menting intelligent speed assistance (ISA) systems, which have been shown in numerous studies to be highly effective in reducing speeding, and speedrelated crashes. ISA relies on GPS and/ or built-in cameras on the car to detect and read traf-fic signs and lets the driver know in real-time what the speed limit is. ISA systems come in two basic forms. Advisory ISA systems can issue a warn-ing to the driver if they exceed the speed limit. Such systems have been in existence for more than two decades. “More advanced limiting ISA systems can physically prevent the vehicle from exceeding the posted speed limit; like a conventional speed limiter, but a more intelligent one,” he says. “Like adaptive cruise control, the driver is always in control and can easily override the ISA system. “This is just another example of how systems can be implemented to im-prove road safety because the reality is that sometimes drivers can become distracted and
miss changes in speed signs, or simply not realise that their speed has creeped up. Through its star safety rating system, the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) has encouraged fitment of these speed assistance sys-tems for more than a decade, and assesses vehicles based on the presence of ISA and its performance. But ANCAP is a voluntary program and there is no equivalent requirement in the mandatory ADRs. From July 2022, the European Road Safety Charter made it mandatory for all new models of vehicles entering the European market to be fitted with advisory ISA. Prof. Regan says: “Europe is leading the way in this area by implementing this new rule. “If Australia wants to get more serious about road safety, we need to bring this system to the market permanently.” Speeding is never safe Each year, speeding contributes to about 41 per cent of road fatalities and 24 per cent of serious injuries in New South Wales alone. Prof. Regan says that just because our speedometers are calibrated to over-state our speed, this does not give the green light for drivers to engage in ex-cessive speeding. “All drivers must obey the road signs to ensure the safety of all drivers and pedestrians who use the road,” he says. “I think most people don’t realise that driving even a couple of kilometres over the speed limit greatly increases the risk of a serious crash, which can have devastating consequences. “For example, half of all serious crashes involving a vehicle travelling at five kilometres per house over the speed limit would been avoided, or would not have resulted in injuries or fatalities, if that vehicle had been travelling at the speed limit.”

“Leemo has views on just about anything”
‘MUM JANE’S ABSURD APOLOGY’
‘Just envisage what a most ‘Self-Satisfied Smug Look’ on the face of a Feline resembles? WELL, I’ve got one on MY FACE right now! Bliss! (‘Leemo Cat here!) ‘MUM JANE’ has had to apologise to ME. Oooh, it was just SO splendiferously gratifying. Her wrinkled countenance was kinda contorted & confused, like she was going to do a huge smelly fluff. (GROSS!!) I’ll explain how this whole shebang came to pass. Well, some days ago Mum couldn’t find her ‘favourite’ spectacles; the ones she uses for driving our car and seeing far distances & stuff. Naturally, the first assumption made by the silly old woman is that ‘I, Leemo’ had hidden them. So, the ‘Voice’ started up with an undertone of evil old lady menace. ‘Leemo, find my glasses immediately; I know your bad habits. When I’m out, you knock things off side tables & push them around our house until you find a hidey spot and then push them out of sight completely never to been seen again until Robovac runs into them, stops working and tells me loudly to move and reset him if he is to finish his chores. So, Leems, get moving, ‘cos I don’t want Robovac damaging my glasses. GOTTIT? Hmmm, I’m assuredly going to defend this atrocious accusation. ‘Mum, you just wait up a bit here!! Sure, I MAY at times, by accidental but ‘good intent’ push pencils & pens & TV remotes & pencil
sharpeners & combs & watches & paper & other stuff out of sight, BUT IT’S YOUR FAULT for not placing them in their correct spot in the first place; I’m simply helping in making things tidy like YOU’RE always doing. (Which is enough to drive a cat to drink!) I DID NOT move your poxy glasses and I swear, on the soul of Egypt’s greatest feline goddess “Bastet” that I am telling the truth. So there, “YOUR CRABBINESS” suck it up and extend me a gracious apology with treats & a double brush of my glossy fur.’ Well, Goodness Gracious Me, a ‘stunned mullet’ took over her face & she stomped off toward our kitchen whilst muttering what I think were bad words. (BUT WAIT, the best is to come!) She sat on the floor, and rummaged around in our saucepan cupboard making a dreadful racket; BUT THEN, everything went deathly quiet. Nothing stirred, not even a mouse. (Drat..it’s been a long time between mousies!!) I ventured into ‘peering view’ and noted she was holding her silly glasses in her hand with a dumbfounded expression on her face. Whoohoo!! NOW, she has to apologise to me big time. I went closer and stared at her with a beguiling & expectant look and waited, waited, waited. I noted she looked quite uncomfortable and avoided my eyes, struggled up from the floor and addressed me with a red face. ‘Ummmm, errrr, well, hmmm Leems, (and then said…can you believe this?!) “I apologise for not doing a better job at pretending to listen to you. You need to appreciate that I am carrying ‘childhood’ memories. As the middle child of 8, I was always blamed by my siblings for misbehaviours whether I did it or not. I still hear the words ‘JANE DID IT’ when there was strife.’ OMG. If she thinks I’m falling for her absurd apology & that other nonsense she’s WRONG! Whoohoo, I won THIS round! Nitey with happy frisks, Leemo.
Enhanced Support Amplifies Impact of Rural Landholder Initiative
A demonstration of environmental weed control techniques during an RLI Field Day in Jiggi.
Lismore City Council is expanding its Rural Landholder Initiative (RLI), a successful program supporting 218 restoration projects aimed at protecting the region’s biodiversity. The RLI, established in 2015, has been instrumental in funding various projects to enhance rural land quality and sustainability in the region. In the latest iteration, successful applicants will receive more substantial grants over an extended period, recognizing the time and effort invested in each project. Over the past eight years, the initiative has achieved notable milestones, including the planting of 56,000 trees, restoring 360 hectares of bushland, and installing 17 kilometres of habitat and riparian fencing. The program collaborates with environmental
champions, Landcare, and other community groups to engage and educate the public. The revamped RLI offers individual landholders grants of up to $15,000 over three years, an increase from $7,500 over two years. Additionally, starting next year, community Landcare groups, industry entities, and other incorporated groups dedicated to improving natural habitat can apply for a $50,000 grant over three years. David Dreher, Council’s Environmental Strategies Officer, highlighted that these changes leverage lessons learned over the years. The adjustment includes shifting the annual grant cycle to every two years, enabling the focus on other opportunities in alternate years. This modification also allows
industry, community, and other groups to apply for funding during these alternate years. Dreher emphasized that the changes provide successful applicants with more options and enhance the quality of environmental projects. The increased funding and extended project timelines allow for better stabilization of sites before moving on to the next implementation stage. Expressions of Interest for the RLI are currently open, with a closing date of December 18, 2023. Applicants are encouraged to review the RLI Policies and Guidelines before submitting their applications online. The program aims to continue its success in promoting environmental conservation and community engagement.
For additional information, applicants can visit the official website (https:// www.lismore.nsw. gov.au/Community/ Environmentalstrategies/RuralLandholders-Initiative) and participate in planning field day events. A community workshop, ‘Realising the Dream: Project Planning for Bush Restoration,’ is scheduled for Saturday, November 18, offering practical advice on bush regeneration, site planning, and exploring restored forests. For further inquiries and updates, interested parties can contact the Council’s Rural Landholder Initiative projects officer at environmental. strategies@lismore.nsw. gov.au or phone 02 6625 0500.
TENTERFIELD SHIRE COUNCIL PLACES A SPECIAL RATE VARIATION FOR 2024/25 ON HOLD On Wednesday 15th November at a Special Council Meeting Tenterfield Shire Council considered a report to seek a second Special Rate Variation as per its original direction made in 2022/23. Tenterfield Shire received approval from IPART in 2023 to increase its rates by 43% to allow it to carry out road improvements, building maintenance and upgrades to parks
and recreational areas. Councils’ original application was for two 43% increases, in each 2023/24 and 2024/25. IPART only allowed one year. This required Council to seek a further increase. The Tenterfield Mayor Councillor Bronwyn Petrie said, “Council considered the advice of staff who prepared the 2024/25 application to IPART, and this advice allowed the Council to
review the current cost of living pressures, the long term seasonal outlook, commodity pricing and the impacts from recent disaster events across the Tenterfield Shire area”. The Councillors also discussed a need to allow its Interim General Manager time to review the long-term financial position, staffing levels, Councils future expenditure and the service levels that may be delivered. Council
also considered a very recent report by IPART to review rates across NSW. “Tenterfield Shire Council will need to review the need for a Special Rate Variation in the 2025/26 financial year as we recognise that Council must increase its own source funding to help it deliver services and to undertake road improvements”, Mayor Petrie advised.

Used Car Safety Ratings 2023 Enhanced data empowers consumers to make safer choices for all road users Australians can now access comprehensive information to find the safest used car following the release of the new-look Used Car Safety Ratings. The annual ratings are based on Monash University Accident Research Centre’s (MUARC) real-world statistical analysis of more than 9 million vehicles involved in police-reported crashes and 2.5 million injured road users in Australia and New Zealand between 1987-2021. In 2023, the ratings have been expanded to focus on not only how a vehicle protects the driver, but also its impact on other road users in a crash and its crash avoidance technology. The new “Overall Safety” star rating assigned to each vehicle model combines the scores for: • Driver Safety: How well the vehicle protects its driver from being killed or seriously injured in a crash • Other Road User Safety: How well the vehicle protects other drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists from being killed or seriously injured in a crash • Crash Avoidance: The reduction in crash involvement risk resulting from the availability of proven crash avoidance technologies in the vehicle such as electronic stability control, autonomous emergency braking, lane keep assist, roll stability control and reversing cameras and sensors. This year, 518 vehicle models were rated out of five stars for Overall Safety in addition to Driver Safety, Other Road User Safety and Crash Avoidance, with 1-star being the worst for safety and 5-stars indicating the top 20 per cent of vehicles for relative safety
performance. This provides consumers with 106 vehicles allocated a 5-star Overall Safety rating. Eighty-seven of those vehicles also scored 5-stars for Driver Safety and at least 3-stars for Other Road User Safety and Crash Avoidance and were awarded ‘Safer Pick’ status. The 20 Safer Pick vehicles that received 5-stars in every category are (in alphabetical order): • Audi A4/S4/RS4/ AllRoad (MY 20082015) • Honda CR-V (MY 2017-2021) • Honda Odyssey (MY 2013-2021) • Jeep Cherokee (MY 2014-2021) • Kia Cerato (MY 2018-2021) • Land Rover Range Rover Sport (MY 2005-2013) • Mazda 3/Axela (MY 2013-2019) • Mazda 6/Atenza (MY 2012-2021) • Mazda CX-3 (MY 2015-2021) • Mazda CX-5 (MY 2017-2021) • Mazda CX-9 (MY 2016-2021) • Mitsubishi Outlander (MY 20122021) • Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (MY 2015-2021) • Mercedes Benz E-Class W212/C207/ A207 (MY 2009-2016) • Subaru Impreza/ XV (MY 2016-2021) • Toyota C-HR (MY 2016-2021) • Toyota Camry (MY 2017-2021) • Toyota Corolla (MY 2018-2021) • Toyota RAV4 (MY 2019-2021) • Volkswagen Tiguan (MY 20162021) For motorists on a budget, the Used Car Safety Ratings 2023 show the affordability of each car, to making a safer choice, with more than half the ‘Safer Pick’ vehicles available second hand for less than AU$10,000, and all but two available for less than AU$25,000. The Used Car
Safety Ratings 2023 also highlight the improvements in vehicle safety over the last 30 years. Most ‘Safer Pick’ vehicles have been manufactured since 2006, with data showing that on average, a vehicle manufactured in 2021 reduces the risk of road users being killed or seriously injured by 33 per cent compared to a vehicle manufactured in 2001. Additionally, newer vehicles provide reduced crash involvement risk through their range of crash avoidance technologies such as Lane Keep Assist, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Electronic Stability Control, Roll Stability Control, and reversing cameras and sensors. Research lead and MUARC Director, Professor Stuart Newstead, said the enhanced scope of the ratings will empower consumers to make a safer choice. “Serious road trauma resulting from the worst-rated car is more than ten times that of the best rated car in the same crash with the same driver,” he said. “If we want to optimise the safety of the fleet, we have to be wary of not just how the vehicle protects you as the driver, but also the injury risk the vehicle poses to other road users. The change in focus of the Used Car Safety Ratings to consider the ‘Overall Safety’ rating reflecting serious trauma risk the vehicle poses to all road users is a significant step towards this holistic approach to road safety.” The Used Car Safety Ratings 2023 can be found by scanning the QR Code below.
THINK TWICE ABOUT ASBESTOS
It’s easy to forget that asbestos is still present in millions of Australian properties, but it’s a fact, that if a house was built or renovated before 1990, there’s a good chance it contains asbestos. “National Asbestos Awareness week (20 -26 Nov) is a good opportunity to remind everyone to ‘Think Twice About Asbestos’ when planning any renovations, repairs or other work on buildings that may contain asbestos” said Karen Rudkin, Project Coordinator at North East Waste. “Although many people know that asbestos cement sheeting was used for walls and roofs they often don’t realise that asbestos was used in thousands of other building products including vinyl floor tiles, adhesives, paints, textured coatings and insulation’ Ms Rudkin said. North East Waste and councils across the Northern Rivers are working together with the NSW Environmental Protection Authority to help reduce the risk of exposure to asbestos
by supporting the safe management and disposal of asbestos containing materials. To keep yourself and your family safe around asbestos, take these simple steps: 1. Get in the know – plan ahead before starting any renovations and find out where asbestos is likely to be in your home. 2. Take it slow – to avoid damaging or disturbing asbestos materials. 3. Get a pro - know your limits. Contact a licensed asbestos professional for advice on where it might be located, and on how to manage or remove it. As part of a regional scheme aimed at reducing the unsafe disturbance or removal of asbestos by home renovators, all Northern Rivers councils offer subsidised ‘Household
Asbestos Testing’ (HAT) kits. The kits include easy step-by-step instructions on how to take samples safely and send to a certified testing laboratory. The results are then emailed back to residents. If asbestos is identified and requires removal, residents are urged to use a licensed removal contractor https://www.safework. nsw.gov.au/hazards-a-z/ asbestos to remove and dispose of it safely. It is illegal to dispose of asbestos waste in any domestic or commercial bin and doing so can incur very heavy fines. Asbestos waste should always be disposed of at a landfill licensed to accept it - https:// www.newaste.org.au/ asbestos/#up.

20 NEWS Lives spent working… by Nigel Dawe
OSCAR Wilde, the Irish grand master of nonchalant wit, once chided, “WORK is the curse of the drinking classes.” It is also arguably the cause of rampant consumption by those previously non-disposed to a tipple at their nearest pub on their way home from work. In 2017, Curtin University conducted a study that found around 12 million Australians worked an estimated 20 billion hours that year in paid employment. To put this numerical babble into perspective: there are 8,760 hours in a year, and the average life expectancy in Australia is 81 years; thus, the average life totals a mere 709,560 hours. To provide some additional context, according to the Curtin University study, apparently 1-in-4 workers are currently looking for a new job because they are unhappy with their present one. The leading causes for this were: stress (most of the time at work), general dissatisfaction with work, and not having a clear sense of purpose. In conclusion it stated, “pay matters, but only to an extent. More importantly, it’s what you do, how you are able to go about your work and who is alongside you that matters the most when it comes to job satisfaction.” Another Australian Workplace Happiness study conducted in 2022 found that a staggering 72% of Australian workers have felt unhappy at their work in the past 12 months. The leading causes were listed as: demanding workloads, poor communication, bad relationships (at work), long hours, and monotonous work. Nothing complex in themselves, but the implemented remedies for each one, are what
differentiates the workplaces you’d want to be a part of, and frankly, those you’d avoid at all costs. Additional to the typical gripes and snipes of your standard Australian workplace that generate such malaise, are the triplicate organisational spectres of talent identification, talent development, and talent retention. Each facet of this clear talent conundrum – that perennially needs addressing – is something an increasingly ‘removed’ managerial apex (intoxicated with notions like meritocratic accomplishment) fail time and time again to objectively see, let alone do anything about. Not that any of this is even remotely new, as the Nobel Prize-winning Czeslaw Milosz identified over 70-years ago, “Western economy squanders talent to an incredible degree; and the few who do succeed owe their success as often to pure luck as to native ability.” Thus, career success and the ‘Loch Ness monster’ of work satisfaction, might one day become not so much the result of what you can spruik in an interview; but how you can honestly convey, albeit activate by way of your own sincere sense of purpose, passion, and dare I say – talent. Deflatingly, for many, who are just trying to make ends meet, the comments of Philip Larkin reverberate like a thick whitewash through the soul, “How little our careers express what lies in us, and yet how much time they take up. It’s sad, really.” But that said, no one but our very own selves can pigeon hole us into lines of work that reflect nothing of who we are, or what we deem most worthwhile.
NEW BRUNSWICK HEADS COMMUNITY NEEDED TO HELP EASE HOUSING
Almost 7,000 new homes will need to be delivered across the Byron Shire over the next 20 years to keep pace with market demand, with Brunswick Heads earmarked as a priority development area, according to a recent report from Council. Byron Shire Council’s September 2023 Draft Housing Options Paper shows 6,695 new dwellings are needed for the shire over the next 20 years, with 1,990 of those homes - or 30 per cent of forecast requirement - earmarked for Brunswick Heads. Mullumbimby will target 24.5 per cent of the new housing requirement, with Byron Bay/Sunrise taking in 18.5 per cent. Council’s future housing strategy is for more than half of all new homes in the Byron Shire
to be created in ‘new release’ areas, including “sites identified in the Draft Northern Rivers Resilient Lands Strategy near Bangalow and Brunswick Heads which are on significant farmland.” With the housing crisis escalating in tandem with local population growth, the release of new land is welcome news for many young families according to Clarence Property General Manager Paul Rippon. Mr Rippon says demand continues to outpace supply and Clarence Property’s Wallum community - which is the only already-zoned and approved Brunswick Heads site included as part of the housing strategy - is a key project in helping address the problem. He says recent sales

demonstrate the majority of locals support the project and want new land to be made available as soon as possible, to avoid being priced out of an already heated market. “We purchased the Wallum site in 2021 and sold the first 19 homesites in one of the most severe property shortages in the past 20 years, due to the lack of supply and pent-up demand for land in the Brunswick Heads region,” he said. “The Wallum site has been earmarked for residential development since 1988 and while waiting for this land to be released many locals have been priced out of the market.” Mr Rippon said purchasers in the first stage of Wallum were mostly local, young families.

“A number of purchasers are young people who have grown up in and around Brunswick Heads who want to buy a home and raise their family in the community they know and love, but the opportunity to do so has been limited,” he said. “When stage one of Wallum was released, local owner occupiers seized the chance. We even had a duplex lot bought by two young families who plan to build a house each, so it’s providing new pathways for people to enter the property market and is being delivered with the Brunswick Heads community front of mind.” To review a fact sheet about the Wallum development, please visit wallumbrunswick.com. au

This year’s Australian Food Safety Week (11 to 18 November 2023) is encouraging people to stay safe while eating on a budget. Sarah Nagel, Byron Shire Council’s Manager of Public and Environmental Services is urging local consumers not to compromise their health by taking food safety short cuts. “This year’s theme for Australian Food Safety Week is ‘Food safety – dollars and sense’ and it’s a good opportunity to review the information on the Food Safety Information Council’s website about how to manage the increased cost of living without compromising food safety,” said Ms Nagel. “You could also consider visiting North East Waste’s love food hate waste program, for some great information on using leftovers better and saving you money in the long run. “There are an estimated

New $18M partnership building digital tech for safer workplaces CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, will join forces with five universities to keep Aussies safe at work using the latest digital technologies. The $18 million Tech4HSE program unites leading researchers in emerging technologies such as generative and immersive artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality and cybersecurity, to develop tech to aid those working in dangerous environments. The program is led by CSIRO’s data and digital arm, Data61, and the University of Queensland (UQ). Swinburne, UNSW, Curtin and ANU have also signed up as partners. Science Director of Data61, Professor Aaron Quigley, said the technologies developed will support health, safety and environmental (HSE) objectives across a wide range of industries. “Whether they’re
working with electrical equipment, heavy machinery or on our roads, millions of Australians put themselves in harm’s way every day to help and serve others,” Prof. Quigley said. “We’re bringing the best researchers in the nation together to help get everyone home safely, by creating advanced digital tools for training, identifying and monitoring hazards, and planning responses and actions.” According to the
Australian Bureau of Statistics, 497,300 Australians suffered from a work-related injury or illness in 2021-22. All participating institutions are contributing funding and research expertise to the program, with UQ administering the funding. UQ Tech4HSE Science Lead Dr Mashhuda Glencross said these projects present an exciting opportunity to make an impactful difference.
“The innovative technologies we are researching and developing in this initiative are aimed at supporting the safety of Australians during disasters and when working in potentially hazardous environments,” Dr Glencross said. Prototypes will be built over five years and trialled in real-world job scenarios, with a focus on developing commercially viable products which are responsible by design.
In the first project currently underway, researchers from Data61 and UQ are developing technologies to support crisis preparedness and response for workers in the energy industry. Data61 Tech4HSE Science Lead Dr Matt Adcock said one example of the technology being developed will combine state-of-the-art computer vision models and 3D generative AI. “Our aim is to take smart glasses to a new level by enabling the
placement of helpful digital holograms within the physical work environment to support emergency response safety training and assisted decision-making under heightened stress levels,” Dr Adcock said. Researchers are initially working with stakeholders in the power industry to ensure prototypes are sensitive to industry needs. The $18 million Tech4HSE program strategically seeks to bring Australia’s university expertise and CSIRO’s capabilities together to maximise the impact of science, research, and development for Australians. The program was announced by Minister for Industry and Science, the Hon Ed Husic, at the launch of Australia’s AI Month, coordinated by CSIRO’s National AI Centre. From November 15 to December 15 more than 50 free and ticketed AI-related events will take place across the country.
SETTING OUR INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIES The Albanese Government has released the Infrastructure Policy Statement to guide the Commonwealth’s funding of properly planned and targeted infrastructure to help unlock a range of significant economic, social and environmental objectives. For too long under the Coalition, Commonwealth infrastructure spending focused on electoral rather than national benefit and in doing this it expanded the Infrastructure Investment Program from roughly 150 projects in 2012-13 to nearly 800 in 2022. That needs to change. The Policy Statement commits the Government to delivering nationally significant infrastructure. This means projects will need to have at least two of the following characteristics: • Australian Government contribution of at least $250 million;
and/or • alignment with Government priorities as articulated in the Infrastructure Policy Statement; and/or • situated on or connected to the National

the Commonwealth funds projects, returning to a preference of 50:50 funding with the states and territories for future investments, so both levels of government

Federal Coalition throw money at projects that states did not want to build. The Government may consider funding a greater share of projects in jurisdictions with less capacity to raise revenue on a case-by-case basis. We also want to share the benefits of construction. We will seek to encourage local employment and procurement, as well as increase the participation of women, First Nations communities and other marginalised groups in the delivery of these projects. The Albanese Government will invest in the projects that only the Commonwealth can – those which shape our cities, our regions and our nation. Together with the states and territories – and with clear priorities and proper planning – we will build a better future for all Australians.

Sheep grazing on verdant rolling hills. Warm and comical characters. Gorgeous costuming featuring dresses and suits and more than a little tweed. Plus, a generous smattering of horses, pigs, cats and cows. There’s a lot to love about this wholesome British series based on vet James Herriot’s memoirs about country life. In this third season, premiering tonight, there’s a touch of sombreness as WWII looms on the horizon, but there’s still the call of the wild – and the pub – keeping the show’s soothing and cosy tone. Tonight, James (Nicholas Ralph, pictured) and Helen’s (Rachel Shenton) long-awaited wedding day arrives. Of course, there’s complications and a boozy bachelor party before the couple say “I do”.
In the early 2000s, this homegrown version of the Dutch reality TV juggernaut hooked the nation and became a household sensation. Then hosted by the biting, comically deadpan Gretel Killeen, along with mischievous narration from comedian Mike Goldman, the innocent housemates were unburdened by an awareness of how well the hidden cameras captured their every move and remark; it was a compelling, cheeky peek into the minds and motivations of 20-somethings. In this 16th season, the housemates know the game inside-out. Host Sonia Kruger (pictured) looks stylish, but there’s otherwise little pizazz, with the romance-heavy matters easily mistaken for Love Island Australia. Tonight, the housemates are blindfolded before nominations. 2411

The magnetic Lucy Lawless (pictured) and the bright and stylish surrounds of Auckland render this a marvellously upbeat, colourful murder mystery series. Add in witty protagonist and crime-solver Alexa Crowe’s (Lawless) side hustle as a bread baker, and you have the recipe for a truly cosy and warm crime caper. Featuring a new face in IT whiz Beth (Tatum WarrenNgata) and the rustic attraction of Martin Henderson (Virgin River) as Alexa’s brother Will, season three’s quirky cases of bloodshed are all kinds of amiable. Tonight, in “The Village”, a lively retirement village is rocked by a death, but it’s Will’s worrying involvement with the victims that hits close to home for Alexa.

THE ANGELS ANNOUNCE 50 YEARS IN THE MAKING NATIONAL TOUR TWO HOURS AND TWO SETS OF GREATEST HITS AND RARITIES DEBUTING THEIR BRAND NEW LINE-UP WITH NICK NORTON ON VOCALS AND GUITAR The Angels have announced a string of national tour dates kicking off in September in celebration of their five decades as one of Australia’s most revered rock bands. The 50 Years In The Making tour will see the band traverse the country with dates scheduled across South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and Tasmania with former drummer Nick Norton taking centre stage as their new front man replacing Dave Gleeson after his 12 years in the role. Performing in The Angels, the band responsible for some of the most unforgettable songs in Australian music, takes a musician with remarkable talent and having been a

Our relationship with the audience means everything to us and we’ll never take that for granted.” Respected guitarist Rick Brewster adds, “The time we get to spend onstage makes everything else worthwhile,” Rick adds. “It’s always been about the songs and the power
member of the band since 2011, Norton is a familiar face to fans. He will not only be fronting the band on vocals but will be playing alongside Rick and John Brewster on guitar and as ticket holders to the Brewster Brothers Electric shows from earlier this year can attest, he is more than ready to assume one of the greatest gigs in Australian rock. As founding member John Brewster explains, “Nick is an incredible musician and a great singer and songwriter. He obviously knows the songs like the back of his hand and the fans already know and love him, so he’s the perfect fit. We can’t wait to hit the road.” “The 50th anniversary is a very special time for The Angels,” John says. “And it means

Replacing Nick on drums is John’s son Tom, meaning The Angels will now have two sets of Brewster Brothers – John and Rick on guitar, and Sam (who joined the band in 2013) on bass, and Tom on drums. As Ian McFarlane, the author of The Encyclopedia of Australian Rock and Pop, noted: “The Angels helped re-define the Australian pub rock tradition.” And now John Brewster, Rick Brewster, Sam Brewster, Tom Brewster and Nick Norton are giving it another twist. This is it, folks – an exciting new chapter in the storied career of The Angels. Let the night roll on! For tickets and tour dates, visit theangels. com.au

SafeWork inspectors targeting safety standards at oyster farms SafeWork NSW SafeWork NSW inspectors are visiting oyster farms in coastal area of NSW to ensure farmers are meeting their work healthy and safety obligations as they enter a busy time of the year. In 2023, SafeWork has increased work health and safety compliance to support itinerant workers, particularly
in the agricultural, forestry and fishing sectors to ensure they are operating in safe working environments. Workers involved in the aquaculture industry are faced with a unique set of circumstances in their day-to-day activities, resulting in a broad range of hazards coming to the forefront including electrocution, crush related injuries, chemical exposure,
lacerations, drowning and skin cancer. Machinery and plant involved in oyster farming is susceptible to serious wear and tear due to the harsh UV conditions and saltwater these machines are exposed to. Inspectors will be ensuring machinery and equipment are in good working order, have attachments fitted correctly and have a seat
belt to protect operators. Eligible farmers are encouraged to access the SafeWork small business rebate or request a free advisory visit or workshop for practical support to help with farm safety. Further advice on staying safe in the aquacultural industry is available on the SafeWork website. Quotes to be attributed to Director
WHS Services Regional Tony Williams: “Farmers continue to be overly represented in serious workplace injuries and fatalities and SafeWork will always be committed to ensuring we do all we can to see these numbers fall. “When we think of farming, we often only mention landbased farming such as livestock or grain,
however those involved in the aquaculture industry continue to be faced with unique challenges every day and must not be forgotten. “Oyster farms employ a large number of itinerant workers and SafeWork inspectors will be ensuring these workers are properly trained, supervised and are operating in a safe environment.”
Farmers make 11th hour plea to maintain live sheep trade The Keep Farmers Farming campaign has landed in Perth this week, with advertising targeting marginal seats sharing farmers’ fears about a phase-out of live sheep exports. NFF President David Jochinke said with a decision imminent about the future of the trade, it was critical that voters in battleground seats like Swan, Tangney and Hasluck understood what a ban would mean for jobs and small farming communities in
WA. “This policy is already hurting and frustrating farmers. We’re already hearing accounts of farmers getting out of sheep because they don’t know what the future holds. “What we’re seeing now is only the beginning. Shut down this trade and the whole future of WA’s $650 million merino wool industry is dicey at best. “This isn’t just about the farmers. It’s the truck drivers, the livestock
agents, the local schools and sporting clubs that all depend on this trade.” Mr Jochinke said the Government’s policy was based on an outdated activist campaign and was due for a rethink. “This policy has nothing to do with animal welfare. It’s about Canberra trying to win back green votes on the East Coast at the expense of jobs and livelihoods in WA. “If it was about animal welfare, you’d keep the
trade going. Australia is the gold standard for live sheep exports. If we vacate the field, we just make way for competitors with no regulation. Those export markets have made it clear that’s what they’ll do,” Mr Jochinke said. Print, digital and outdoor ads running in Perth this week feature sheep and grain farmer Jamie Spence, from Borden in WA’s Great Southern. “A ban on live sheep to the Middle East
would be a backward step for animal welfare because Australia holds the highest standard of welfare when it comes to the export market,” Mr Spence said. He warned that pressures being felt on prices and continued backlogs in domestic processing could see producers like him quit the sheep industry if a ban was implemented. “We can’t sell sheep to the market for a good price - young ewes which might have been
$80 are now only getting $20,” he said. “We currently send a portion of our sheep to the live sheep trade and if it’s banned – with the current backlogs in the domestic market – we feel we might not be able to keep operating our current sheep program.” “The sheep industry in WA and Australia as a whole is an integral part of the economy. I urge the politicians in Canberra to rethink the decision,” he said.

What are you really feeding The North Coast Local Land Services biosecurity team can provide advice to primary producers in helping manage pest animals which can impact heavily on their bottom line. With supplemental feeding becoming more common with seasonal dry times, their advice is to get ahead of pest problems before they have an even greater impact. Feral deer, feral pigs, wild dogs and foxes can all affect a primary producers’ bottom line by directly competing with livestock for feed or by killing or maiming them. Dean Chamberlain, Team Leader Invasive Species for North Coast Local Land Services said, “We can all see that things are dry and feed on the ground is getting short and so can our pest animals. “Feral deer and feral pigs will not only eat your pasture and any crops you may have planted but are also quite happy to eat the hay or grain supplement you might be feeding your cattle. “Feral deer and feral pigs are capable of learning that the cattle feeder in the paddock is a good source of high-quality feed and will quite happily come and eat your hardearned dollars and they can also affect water quality by wallowing in waterholes and creeks.” Dean said.
Wild dog and fox attacks tend to increase in times of dry weather as native animals become less abundant and available as a source of food. As the main calving season is occurring weaker cows will mean weaker calves which are easier prey for wild dogs and potentially foxes. “Wild dogs hunting in packs, sometimes up to ten, are known to pull down weaners and grown cattle by running them to exhaustion or chasing them into gullies and scrub where they become trapped. Dean continued, “Foxes can do damage to cows and calves and have been known to chew the tongues of newborn calves and chew the teats of cows that have difficulty calving. “Attacks on small livestock such as sheep, goats and alpacas also become more common as they are seen as an easy target.” Dean said. Primary producers who want to know more about managing their pest animal issues are encouraged to contact the North Coast Local Land Services Invasive Species team by calling 1300 795 299.
Supporting flexible early childhood education and care for rural and regional NSW More families in rural and regional NSW will have improved access to early childhood education and care (ECEC) when and where they need it most following the launch of a new trial grants program. With a pool of $20 million over two years, services across the state are encouraged to apply to participate in the Flexible Initiatives Trial (the Trial) which will provide grants to fund new or adapted operating models. The Trial has been designed to empower providers to better cater to the needs of local families, recognising communities across the state face different challenges when it comes to accessing ECEC. For example, parents in major regional centres such as Wollongong, the Central Coast, and Newcastle may be commuting to Sydney for work and could benefit from:
• extended hours of care beyond traditional working hours • flexible pick-up and drop-off times • improved access to ad hoc care arrangements outside of scheduled hours In outer regional, remote and very remote areas of NSW, the trial will support the establishment of new family day care services. Smaller and more dispersed communities could also benefit from: • funding for staff recruitment • transport for eligible children to and from care • partnerships between 2 different service types to provide extended or wrap-around care arrangements. Acting Deputy Secretary of Early Childhood Outcomes, Mark Barraket, said the NSW Department of Education is committed to making sure all children in NSW get the best start in life.
“To achieve this goal, we must acknowledge and address the unique challenges faced by rural and regional communities across our state,” he said. “The Flexible Initiatives Trial is a part of our commitment to addressing concerns about choice and availability of quality early childhood education and care experiences for every child. “The Trial is not a one size fits all model, it is designed around the needs of each community. How it will look in Wollongong or Newcastle is very different to the new or adapted operating models that will be trialled in our state’s west.” Applications are now open for the first round of the program, and close on 1 December 2023. Visit the NSW Department of Education website for more information, including the program guidelines and eligibility.

The Trial is the first in a suite of grant programs and partnerships to be delivered in 2023-24 under the NSW Government’s 10-year Childcare and Economic Opportunity Fund (the Fund). The Fund will help deliver on new initiatives that supports those who need it most – children, families and the early childhood education workforce. It will also be used to provide $500 per child of fee relief to 3-year-old children attending eligible preschool programs in long day care centres, effective from early 2024. “The Childcare and Economic Opportunity Fund will create real and long-lasting change in NSW. Bold and exciting new initiatives are being developed to respond with long term solutions to the most pressing needs experienced by the early learning sector, by families and by children,” Mr Barraket said.

Ammonia for fertilisers without the giant carbon footprint
UNSW Sydney Green ammonia has the potential to drastically reduce the carbon footprint needed to produce fertiliser vital for crop-growing. The production of ammonia for fertilisers – which has one of the largest carbon footprints among industrial processes – will soon be possible on farms using low-cost, low-energy and environmentally friendly technology. This is thanks to researchers at UNSW Sydney and their collaborators who have developed an innovative technique for sustainable ammonia production at scale. Up until now, the production of ammonia has relied on high-energy processes that leave a massive global carbon footprint – temperatures
of more than 400 oC and pressures exceeding 200 atmospheres that account for 2 per cent of the world’s energy and 1.8 per cent of its CO2. But the researchers have come up with a method that significantly enhances energy efficiency while making environmentally friendly ammonia economically feasible. The new technique eliminates the requirement for high temperatures, high pressure, and extensive infrastructure in ammonia production. In a paper published recently in the journal Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, the authors show that the process they developed has enabled the largescale synthesis of green ammonia by increasing its energy efficiency and production rate. The foundation of this
research, previously published by the same research group, has already been licensed to an Australian industry partner, PlasmaLeap Technologies, through the UNSW Knowledge Exchange program. It is set to be translated into the Australian agriculture industry, with a prototype already scaled up and ready for deployment. The latest study follows on from the proofof-concept research performed by the same UNSW research group three years ago with significant advances in energy efficiency and production rate in the process, thus improving commercial profitability. The research also represents an opportunity to use green ammonia in the hydrogen transport market, as liquid ammonia

(NH3) can store more hydrogen in a smaller space than liquefied hydrogen (H2), making the transportation of hydrogen energy more economical. Net zero objectives While the conventional process used for ammonia production is notably energyintensive – relying heavily on fossil fuels as its primary energy and hydrogen sources – it has been instrumental in increasing crop yields and sustaining a growing global population. Dr. Ali Jalili, the study’s leader and a former Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow at UNSW, says adopting a sustainable approach to ammonia production is crucial for global net zero objectives. “Currently, the traditional method of
producing ammonia – known as the Haber-Bosch process – accounts for 2.4 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of ammonia, equivalent to approximately 2 per cent of global carbon emissions. Additionally, Haber-Bosch is economically viable only in large-scale and centralised facilities. Consequently, the transportation from these facilities to farms will increase the CO2 emission by 50 per cent,” he says. “Ammonia-based fertilisers are in critically short supply due to international supply chain disruptions and geopolitical issues, which impact our food security and production costs. “This, together with its potential for hydrogen energy storage and transportation, makes
ammonia key to Australia’s renewable energy initiatives, positioning the country among the leaders in renewable energy exports and utilisation.” As well as addressing economic and logistical challenges associated with intermittent energy sources for cities or farms, Dr Jalili says to fully unlock its potential, it is “essential to establish a decentralised and energy-efficient production method that can effectively use surplus renewable electricity”. Dr. Ali Jalili was recently named an Australian Research Council Future Fellow and has obtained additional funding of more than $842,000 to apply this technology to produce environmentally-friendly fertilisers.

Australian states set to battle it out for the 2023 IXOM Best Tasting Tap Water in Australia title Australia’s best tasting tap water will be decided on Saturday, 18 November when the Water Industry Operators Association of Australia (WIOA) hosts the IXOM 2023 Best Tasting Tap Water in Australia competition. Water authorities in regional and metropolitan areas across Australia have competed in state competitions to find their best drop. Now those state winners have been invited to go head to head for the national title during the Lilydale & Yarra Valley Show in Lilydale, Victoria, putting interstate rivalry to the ultimate test. The state representatives competing for the 2023 Best Tasting Tap Water in Australia are: • South Australia – Olympic Dam Desal Plant – BHP • Tasmania – Fern Tree water treatment plant – TasWater • Queensland – Burgowan water treatment plant – Fraser Coast Regional Council • NSW/ACT – Rous
County Council – Nightcap • Western Australia – Water Corporation – Cue Victoria holds the 2022 title for the Best Tasting Tap Water in Australia. Last year’s national winner was Melbourne Water’s Cresswell water treatment plant, which is why the 2023 event is being held in their area. Attendees at the Lilydale & Yarra Valley Show will be asked to taste all the water samples and vote for the one they prefer most. Judging will run
between 9.00am and 1.00pm, and the winner will be announced at approximately 3.45pm. The 2023 winner will have bragging rights for the next 12 months as the provider of Australia’s best drop and will go on to represent Australia at the annual Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting Competition in West Virginia, USA in February 2024. The annual IXOM Best Tasting Tap Water competition is a fun and exciting way to
raise awareness of the quality of drinking water in Australia, and to recognise the efforts of local water service providers in delivering valuable water services to their communities. Water samples are subjected to a blind taste test and rated according to the Water Tasting Wheel, which outlines some of the attributes that water professionals use when judging water such as colour, clarity, odour and taste. Think ‘wine tasting’ without needing to spit out the
samples and you won’t be far wrong. In its search for the best tasting tap water in each state and nationally, WIOA invites all water suppliers to participate in the competition. “The competition recognises and acknowledges the individuals and organisations that are stepping up, some in very trying circumstances, to make sure their communities are supplied with safe drinking water every day,” said Dean Barnett,
Chief Executive Officer, WIOA. “We want to use the competition to let people know the great work that is going on in local communities around Australia, and help to shape and secure Australia’s water future.” Mr Barnett also acknowledged IXOM’s support of the Best Tasting Tap Water competition. “Thanks to IXOM’s unwavering commitment and support of the industry, we have been able to continue running the competition.” “IXOM is proud to be the sponsor of the prestigious 2023 IXOM Best Tasting Tap Water competition,” said Bryce Wolfe, IXOM Managing Director & CEO. “IXOM has been involved in water treatment for almost a century. We supply chemicals to water treatment plants all over Australia to help ensure that Australia continues to have world-class, high-quality water.”
Algae’s next for trade success The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry has approved the addition of algae production to the National Standard for Organic and BioDynamic Produce. The addition of algae in the standard will allow Australian organic algae producers to
compete in the global market. Deputy Secretary of Agricultural Trade, Nicola Hinder PSM said it is exciting to see this amendment to the national standard coming to fruition. “There is a significant shift in some consumer preferences towards
organic products seeing sales in organic products grow worldwide,” Ms Hinder said. “The national standard is Australia’s technical export standard for organic and bio-dynamic goods. “As the main focus in equivalence arrangements with our
international trading partners, it is vital we ensure all sectors are represented to ensure ongoing trade opportunities for organics goods across all sectors of agriculture.” The application for the amendment was approved following a public comment
period and review by the National Standards Advisory Committee. An Industry Advice Notice on the amendment’s introduction will be issued by the department. The physical release of an updated national standard will occur in
early 2024. The department resumed direct management of the national standard in January 2022 and has since released Edition 3.8 which includes organic wine production, the first major update to the National standard since 2017.

TRAVEL 37
The Benefits of Travelling in Your 20s In a world brimming with experiences, cultures, and landscapes, there’s no better time to explore its vastness than in your 20s. This transformative decade, marked by selfdiscovery and personal growth, offers an unparalleled opportunity to be enriched by travel. While any age is good to travel, your 20’s might just be one of the best to do so for a number of reasons. Travelling pushes you out of your comfort zone, challenging your beliefs, perceptions, and boundaries of what you know as a normal life. As a twenty-something year old, you’re in a phase of life where identities are fluid, and the experiences from travel can play a pivotal role in sculpting who you become. Facing unfamiliar situations, adapting to different cultures, and navigating the complexities of foreign lands can empower you with resilience, confidence, and a deeper understanding of yourself. The adaptability
of your 20s often comes with fewer responsibilities. With no family constraints or mortgages, many in their 20s can travel on a much lower budget, opting for hostels over hotels or street food over fancy restaurants. This often leads to more authentic experiences, and also to your money lasting a lot longer. Plus, with the rise of sharing economies and platforms like Airbnb and Couchsurfing, travelling has never been more accessible for people who are in a position to rough it out a bit. In a globalised world, building global connections is an essential part of our lives. The connections you forge while travelling can last a lifetime. Whether it’s a friendship with a fellow backpacker or a potential business contact in a foreign country, the network you build in your 20s can open doors throughout your life. In an increasingly globalised world, having friends and acquaintances
from diverse cultures and backgrounds can be both a personal and professional asset for later on down the track of life. The unpredictability’s of travel - missed flights, language barriers, or unfamiliar customs - can be both daunting and exhilarating. Facing and overcoming these challenges head-on instils a knack for adaptability and problem-solving. These skills, sharpened on the roads of the world, can be invaluable assets in all facets of life, from personal relationships to the professional world. Interacting with people from different walks of life broadens your horizon and challenges preconceived notions that we may have from our normal day to day life. This exposure can cultivate empathy, tolerance, and understanding of different cultures and people to make us more aware of the world we live in and people’s lived experiences and daily struggles. In your 20s, as your beliefs and values are still forming,
these experiences can influence a more inclusive and openminded worldview, changing for the betterment of your life ahead. Travelling often involves physical activities, whether it’s trekking in the mountains, exploring ancient ruins, or simply walking through the meandering streets of a new city. This not only boosts physical health but also mental well-being. As well as this, your body at a younger age is a lot more agile and allows you to do more with smaller consequences. Moreover, breaking the monotony and routine can be a refreshing mental reset. Every journey is a learning experience with a whole lot to gain both skills and knowledge wise. Whether you’re picking up a new language, learning to cook a local delicacy, or understanding the history of a place, travel offers endless opportunities for acquiring new skills and knowledge which can be
added to your daily life once you return. Such experiences can not only be personally enriching but can also enhance your professional portfolio. In your 20s, you most likely don’t own a whole lot of possessions. This makes it easier to leave the things behind that keep you from living new experiences. Travelling, especially backpacking, teaches the value of minimalism. Living out of a backpack makes you realise the difference between wants and needs. This understanding can permeate other areas of life, leading to more conscious consumption and an appreciation for the simpler things in life. The adventures, mishaps, and unexpected moments of travel become stories that you carry with you. These memories not only serve as a personal treasure trove but also as tales that inspire others. Moreover, the nostalgia associated with these experiences can offer solace and
joy in the later stages of life. These can help you relate to others and make more memories with people around them on their travels, and later on in your life too. Lastly, in the words of Mark Twain, “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.” Travelling in your 20s ensures that you don’t look back with regret about the adventures not taken. This is realistically one of the most important and most beneficial parts of travelling at a young age. While any age is a good age to travel, your 20s offer a unique blend of freedom, curiosity, and adaptability. The experiences gained from travelling during this time are not just momentary; they shape identities, worldviews, and lives in profound ways. So, pack those bags and set forth; the world awaits with its boundless lessons and adventures.

Deepening crisis: Rental Affordability Index reveals rental calamity for people on low incomes in regional NSW Shelter-SGS Economics & Planning The annual National Shelter-SGS Economics & Planning Rental Affordability Index reveals regional NSW housing is less affordable now than at any point in the last decade, challenging the perception that regional NSW is a safe haven for low- and middle-income households. John Engeler, CEO Shelter NSW, said: “For too long, the regions have been viewed with misty eyes as an
affordable option for Sydneysiders to retreat to when rents got too high in the city. This is not the case, not for newcomers and certainly not for locals living on local industry wages. Since the pandemic, a growing proportion of renters are forced to dedicate more than 30% of their income to rent in the regions. This is not a sustainable situation, it’s a social emergency.” Unaffordability is hurting the economy too. “Unaffordability has spread from employment centres. Households have to live further away
from where the jobs are to access affordable rents, and businesses are struggling to find workers”, according to Ellen Witte, Principal at SGS Economics & Planning. The Report notes that the average rental household in regional NSW has a gross annual income of $84,651 per annum. If renting at the median rate, that household faces paying 29 percent of its total income to rent. This means regional NSW has a Rental Affordability Index score of 102, putting it right on the
verge of being deemed ‘unaffordable’. This represents a 7 percent decline in affordability in the past three years, disproportionately hurting those on the lowest incomes pushed into housing stress to afford a roof over their heads. For a single person relying on JobSeeker, the average regional NSW rental is now ‘extremely unaffordable’, comprising 71% of income. While parts of the State still offer acceptable to very affordable rents
these areas tend to be far-flung, with limited access to services and relatively lower rental stock. Regional centres like Bathurst, Maitland, Wagga Wagga, and effectively the entire coastline including the entirety of IllawarraShoalhaven, all offer at best, moderately unaffordable rents at the median level. “This downward spiral has now reached the point where very few affordable long-term rentals are on offer.” according to Ellen Witte, Principal at SGS Economics & Planning.
“We need to attack this problem from multiple angles. This means rapidly expanding social and affordable housing, rethinking how we use tax subsidies, and strengthening renters’ rights.” A score of 50 or less indicates extremely unaffordable rents, 5180 indicates severely unaffordable rents, 81-100 indicates unaffordable rents, 101-120 indicates moderately unaffordable rents, 121-150 indicates acceptable rents, 150 or more indicates affordable rents.

between seven and nine per cent in regional QLD, regional SA, and regional WA. National Shelter CEO Emma Greenhalgh said: “Rental affordability in Australia is going from bad to worse. “In the past year renters have been smashed with enormous rent hikes well beyond income growth. “With vacancy rates so incredibly low, landlords have been able to pass on interest rate rises to tenants - and the pressure is only set to increase following last week’s rate rise. “More households in our cities and our regions are in rental stress and many areas are the most unaffordable they have ever been. “Governments must urgently address this worsening affordability crisis, including by building more homes and better regulating renting.” The situation is particularly dire for people on low incomes,
with a single person on JobSeeker having to spend more than 75 per cent of their income to rent a one bedroom apartment in any capital city. Even the regions are severely unaffordable with rents in regional SA - comparatively the most affordable area - still requiring 53 per cent of a JobSeeker’s income. A single pensioner would need to spend 50 per cent of their income to rent in all capitals except Adelaide and Hobart and at least 32 per cent in regional areas. Greater Brisbane, regional QLD, regional VIC and regional NSW posted their lowest affordability levels since 2012, with average households needing to spend between 27 and 30 per cent of their income for a median property in those areas. Greater Sydney is now level with Greater Hobart as the least affordable capital city with a median
rental at $650 a week costing 29 per cent of the average renting household’s income. Greater Brisbane ranks third among the cities with its lowest ever affordability rating and median rentals at $553 a week costing 28 per cent of average income. Regional QLD is now the least affordable place of all regions and capital cities with median rentals at $553 costing 30 per cent of average income, a figure which meets the threshold for rental stress. “Unaffordability has spread from the cities to well into the regions. Households will have to live further away from where the jobs are to access affordable rents, and businesses are struggling to find workers,” said Ellen Witte, Principal at SGS Economics & Planning. “This downward spiral has now reached the point where very few affordable long-term rentals are on offer.
“We need to attack this problem from multiple angles. This means rapidly expanding social and affordable housing, rethinking how we use tax subsidies and strengthening renters’ rights.” The Index was developed in partnership with the Beyond Bank Australia Foundation. Peter Rutter, Chief Community & Strategy Officer, said: “We believe that everybody has the right to safe, secure and affordable housing, which includes rental accommodation. “Through the Beyond Bank Australia Foundation, we invest in projects and initiatives that aim to make this a reality. We are proud to again partner in this important work so that we can continue to understand the cost of living pressures that people are facing and think about how we can work together to overcome them.”

his whole Optus thing has been blown out of all proportion, mainly by the media and pollies, and sure, 10 million people were affected, but look on the bright side, that means 16 million weren’t, except they couldn’t buy a coffee. Poor Optus. Who hasn’t had their phone cut off for some reason? Perhaps Optus didn’t pay their phone bill? Maybe their corporate credit card
T
expired or was hacked? Imagine what the hackers could have bought with that! Apparently the likely cause was a system update. Again, who hasn’t had that problem? I bet someone forgot the password to reboot. Write it down guys, it’s no good keeping it on your phone, obviously. Or maybe the guy whose face it recognises was on holidays? It happened at 4am so
they couldn’t call technical faults…” You have called outside office hours. However, most issues can be cured online or by simply rebooting your device”…. which is apparently exactly what they did and bingo! All honest mistakes, but by the way the media and pollies were carrying on you’d think it was the end of the world. Geez, guys, have you heard of Gaza? Any business whingeing
about lost trade needs to suck it up, the solution is simple, and doesn’t involve merely swapping to Telstra. The same thing will happen to them eventually, indeed already has. Lest we forget. For many businesses a Telstra SIM would have been well worth $30 a month, but remember to keep the Optus one, and Telstra customers should now get an Optus SIM as well, specially now there’s
some excellent discounts. Furthermore, what do these people do when the power fails? Blame the power company! It’s not as if that’s never happened, but do they plan for it? What about a fancy honour system for coffee shops et al? What rude bugger wouldn’t honour that? Okay, if you’re selling computers and phones (how ironic) maybe a different
plan is required, such as a battery back-up or if you’re an idiot and vote Coalition, a small nuclear reactor that hasn’t been invented yet. Big businesses should also share the telco load. Simple. My consultancy invoice is in the mail. I’m with Optus here, in both senses, and if all else fails, just take the day off and enjoy a quiet glass of wine and stop whingeing. Or think of Gaza.
Angullong Orange Region ‘Fossil Hill’ Barbera 2022, $30. Barberas, like all wines, can be hit and miss, and when you get more misses you’re less likely to return. This will bring you back to the fold, like an old Virgin customer moving back to Optus. The scent is amazing. 9.5/10. Angullong Orange Region
‘Fossil Hill’ Sangiovese 2022, $30. The smell is not quite so alluring as sister Barbera, but it’s warming and worthy once you drink it and both are pretty big girls at 14.5 per cent so you get some bang for your buck. Same as Optus. 9.3/10. Mount Majura Vineyard Canberra District
Mondeuse 2022, $34. A tough one to pronounce for whitebread, No-voting Aussies, but luckily it’s pretty much as it appears. Quite pinot like in weight and character so have it with book club rather than footy. 9.1/10. Mount Majura Clare Valley (Parallel Ridges) Riesling 2023, $30. For
maximum effect you should try this next to Canberra riesling, but if you haven’t got one don’t let that stop you drinking it and your guests likely won’t be as bored as if you did. Predictably lovely Clare riesling. 9.4/10. Leconfield Coonawarra Blanc de Blancs, NV, $36. Once someone says
Blankety Blanks (old people will remember) it is hard to not to think of it every time. That was at a gallery opening 20 years ago, still the ideal setting for this wine. Sharp and bright, like the young things at such venues these days. 9.4/10. Leconfield Coonawarra ‘Uncle Syd’ Fortified Old
Tawny (15-Year-Old), $36. This is a throwback to the good old days when Australia made more fortified wine than sheep and has all the characters you’d hope for in such a nostalgic beverage. Pour it on your xmas pud’ but keep it away from Nana. 9.3/10.

5 ways to cool cities as temperatures soar UNSW Sydney As Australia heads into an El Nino summer, UNSW’s Dr Negin Nazarian, an expert in urban climate, explains 5 crucial strategies to keep cities – and people – cooler. There are several factors that interact when we think about heat in the urban environment. “First, there’s urban heat itself,” explains Dr Nazarian, “which is the change brought about by urbanisation, buildings, roads, infrastructure and the like. This is often referred to as urban heat island. Then, there’s the impact of climate change, which means that average temperatures globally, as well as in cities, are increasing across the board. “Finally, climate extremes such as heat waves, are becoming more frequent, longer, and intense due to global warming. And in El Nino years, like now, the risk of climate extremes is also increased. Considering all these drivers, our cities are faced with an increasingly pressing problem of how to manage heat and care for the people living in them. This includes mitigating urban heat in our cities as well as helping our people adapt to them to reduce the negative impacts on their lives.” 1. Cool materials Urban areas, like cities, are warmer than natural areas – creating what people talk about as
the Urban Heat Island effect. And that’s mostly because the types of materials used to create buildings have different properties than natural land cover. “In the natural environment you have trees, grass and soil, which provide shade, absorb heat and retain water in the environment. However, most materials which create the built environment absorb more heat, trap more radiation, and have no way of retaining moisture for cooling,” explains Dr Nazarian. To keep cities cooler, it’s important for developments to increasingly utilise cool materials that radiate heat, rather than absorbing it. “This can range from lightcoloured paints that are suitable on roofs, through to the use of advanced super cool (retroreflective) coatings on pavements. The more advanced ’super cool’ materials reflect most of the striking radiation backwards to the sky, reducing the heat trapped within the urban canopy, which means they won’t be affecting thermal comfort of people in our streets,” says Prof. Nazarian. Recent developments in some areas of Sydney have seen a proliferation of dark coloured roofs, which accentuates heat accumulation in these new suburbs. “Revisiting the ban on black roofs and requiring the use of light coloured roofing materials by councils would be one way to
start to mitigate heat in these green-field developments,” says Prof. Nazarian. Indonesia’s Cool Roof Project is aiming to create 1 million cool roofs to combat rising temperatures. Cool materials reflect sunlight and reduce the amount of heat absorbed by a building, reducing temperatures inside. Credit: BeCool Indonesia. 2. Green Spaces Increasing urban greenery helps keep cities liveable as temperatures rise. “Heat mitigation is nuanced,” says Prof Nazarian. “Just planting lots of trees will not cool our cities as we are also facing climate change and its impact on extremes. And most trees only have cooling benefits when they are sufficiently mature, so the impact is medium to long-term impact. However, trees have significant benefits such as providing shade, which reduces our exposure to heat, and helps us endure hotter temperatures. They also have a positive impact on people’s wellbeing, and air quality.” Parklands, operate in the same way, on a larger scale, creating a ‘thermal oasis’. “They may not fully mitigate urban heat at the city scale, but they provide local cooling and, more importantly, minimise the impact that heat will have on people. Creating more of these thermal oases will help manage the impact of increased urban temperatures,” says Dr
Nazarian. “Green roofs and facades are another good option for cities as they reflect rather than absorb heat,” says Dr Nazarian, “Green facades and roofs also contribute to energy saving of buildings though they are easier to implement in new buildings, where specific water-proofing and irrigation needs can be included in the design.” Green facades reflect rather than absorb heat, and can also cool through evapotranspiration. Image: Manly Vale Carpark, Sydney / Junglefy. 3. Climate-Responsive Urban planning Urban design and planning decisions have a significant impact on temperature regulation. “Street canyons configured to promote shade and ventilation reduce local air and surface temperatures and improve outdoor thermal comfort, and are key to cooling our cities and people”. Dr Nazarian also suggests careful consideration of the ratio of impervious surfaces to ‘natural’ and ‘porous’ land needs to take place. And with newer developments, such as those in Western Sydney, the recommended ratio (for instance in the Cool Suburbs Tool used in NSW) is a minimum 50% site perviousness, which can include green roofs and porous pavements. Moreover, urban design that includes open spaces and positions buildings to facilitate
natural ventilation can help dissipate heat in cities. In Sydney’s eastern suburbs, the sea breeze effectively cools the area, while in the western suburbs creating ponds and parks which then cool the breezes that flow through the area can work in the same way. Singapore’s network of wind corridors exemplifies how thoughtful planning can create a symbiotic relationship between thermal oases and ventilation. The strategic placement of buildings near blue and green infrastructure, such as in these plans from the Singapore Urban Redevelopment Authority, can allow for improved ventilation in the built environment, resulting in the flow of cooler air into urban areas. 4. Blue infrastructure Like green spaces, blue infrastructure, involving water bodies like ponds, rivers and dams, can be a powerful tool for temperature reduction. Integrating water features with green spaces can also help lower the temperatures of surrounding areas. Blue infrastructures can also be strategically placed together with greenery and wind corridors: as breezes blow over bodies of water they are cooled and then transport this cooling effect over nearby areas. In western Sydney, the Norwest City project combined ponds and green areas with a great cooling effect and deployed a
detailed cooling guide to integrate blue and green infrastructure in a multiuse precinct. In a smaller way, water fountains in shopping areas, parks and boulevards, help cool people when temperatures are high. 5. Reduce humancreated heat The final piece of the puzzle is reducing heat generated by human activities, which is part of a larger project of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In cities, Dr Nazarian underscores the need to rethink airconditioning, car use and industrial practices. “While air-conditioning gives people relief from heat, it simultaneously releases condensation and heat out into the environment, creating more demand for cooling, releasing more heat into the environment in a vicious cycle. Singapore, for instance, is shifting towards more energyefficient, centralised cooling systems to mitigate localised heat. And some researchers are looking at ways to encourage the increased use of fans, which require far less energy to operate and don’t add heat to the atmosphere.” There is no silver-bullet to reduce heat in our cities, but cool materials, green spaces, thoughtful urban planning, blue infrastructure and a reduction in humangenerated heat will all need to be part of the picture.

Virtual reality is helping brain injury survivors regain use of their arms and hands Survivors of brain injuries caused by stroke and other serious events can lose function in their arms and hands. An Australian company is creating a virtual reality therapy system to help survivors regain the use of these limbs. Making brain injury therapy more engaging Getting better after brain injury is hard work. Survivors need therapy to help the brain to heal. But therapy can be boring and repetitive. This means survivors don’t always do as much therapy as they need. To make therapy more engaging, Australian company Neuromersiv has created the Ulysses VR Upper Limb Therapy System. Using a wireless virtual reality (VR) headset, brain injury survivors can do therapy by performing rewardsbased, gamified activities in realistic environments. An immersive environment ‘As soon as the person puts on the headset, they
are totally immersed,’ CEO Anshul Dayal enthuses. ‘Like with gamers, dopamine kicks in and they want to keep going. So VR creates the motivation to keep doing your therapy. That can lead to better function recovery.’ The Ulysses VR software is available to buy in Australia and Britain. ‘I am proud we’ve taken this to market. We’re seeing people use it and give us positive feedback,’ Anshul says. Wearable glove As part of the Ulysses therapy system, Neuromersiv has also developed a hand and arm wearable glove. The glove helps users activate their muscles and receive realtime sensory feedback from VR environments. It combines two therapy modes with the VR software. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) therapy helps brain injury survivors activate muscles they can’t move. Electrodes in the glove
send small electrical currents through key points on the forearm muscles to stimulate extension and flexion. New neural pathways ‘If the survivor is trying to brush their teeth in virtual reality but they just can’t grab the virtual toothbrush, the FES can assist with the grabbing action by stimulating flexion of the wrist and fingers,’ Anshul explains. ‘This stimulation creates a feedback loop that can be a catalyst for the brain to form new neural pathways to recover lost function. This is often referred to as brain neuroplasticity and is the key to long-term functional recovery.’ Sensory feedback The team is also combining tactile feedback, or haptics, with the glove. For example, when users brush their teeth in virtual reality, they get a vibration effect on their fingers. ‘The goal is to enhance the sensory feedback because that helps the

brain start to recognise the end of the fingertips, Anshul tells us. ‘When the person stops doing that task, they still feel tingling on the fingertips. That helps reactivate those neural connections.’ ‘We are building a system that has multiple layers. Combining the visual and sensory aspects could improve functional recovery,’ Anshul concludes. ‘We think we are the first company in the world to combine FES, haptics and virtual reality.’ Technical challenges The team had to overcome technical challenges to achieve this. Cameras on the virtual reality headset track users’ hands as they do therapy. The team’s first prototype had an exoskeleton design that impeded the hand tracking and overall usability. This was refined through user testing and design modifications. ‘For the FES, we created a sleeve with adjustable electrodes to wrap on the forearm,’ Anshul says. ‘For the haptics, we created a unique system of finger caps connected by soft & thin wires. It goes on top of the hand and doesn’t interfere with the tracking. ‘The next challenge was creating a wireless control unit for the glove that was compact and lightweight.’ Approval to sell the glove in Australia Neuromersiv is planning a pivotal clinical trial to develop further clinical evidence on the safety and efficacy of the glove. With this evidence they will seek regulatory approval from the Therapeutic Goods Administration to commercialise the glove in Australia. ‘When you work with people in their homes and clinics, it can be confronting see the challenges they can face after the brain injury. That inspires me to help people through this Ulysses solution,’ Anshul says. ‘I have seen proof that when they use the system, they feel motivated and excited. They feel this can really help their therapy, and that’s quite rewarding.’ The MRFF-funded MTPConnect Biomedtech Horizons program funded Ulysses with $994,000.

What if there was an easy way to let go of all the troubling thoughts, feelings and emotions that keep going around in your head? We’d like to tell you about a process called Access Consciousness or The Bars. The practitioner touches precise parts on the head, while you relax and de-stress, for an hour or longer. Electrical impulses build up in these points and sometimes you feel like you don’t know what to do with all this energy in your head. By the practitioner holding these points until the energy is dispersed, you feel so much lighter afterwards, you feel like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. It can even be life changing.

Budget Gardening: Cultivating Joy Amidst Australia’s Cost of Living Crisis In today’s Australia, as many grapple with the cost of living crisis, simple pleasures like gardening can feel increasingly out of reach. With rising prices affecting everything from utilities to groceries, tightening the purse strings has become a common theme for households. However, amidst this challenging economic backdrop, gardening can not only be an affordable hobby but also a strategic response to rising food prices. Here’s some tips on how you can cultivate a garden without digging deep into your pockets. 1. Start with Seeds, Not Seedlings While it’s tempting to buy young plants ready for transplanting, starting from seeds can save you a significant amount. Seed packets often contain enough seeds for multiple seasons, and with a little patience, you’ll have a garden full of plants at a fraction of the cost. As a bonus, seeds offer a broader
variety of plant options than what’s usually available as seedlings. 2. DIY Composting Instead of buying expensive fertilisers, start composting kitchen scraps like fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, and eggshells. Over time, these will decompose to produce rich, nourishing compost for your plants. This not only reduces waste but also bolsters your garden’s health without extra expense. 3. Embrace Upcycling Before rushing to the garden centre for pots and planters, look around your home. Old buckets, containers, wooden crates, or even worn-out boots can be repurposed into quirky plant holders. This approach not only saves money but also adds a unique touch to your garden. 4. Go for Perennials and Edibles Perennial plants, which regrow every year, offer better value for money compared to annuals that last just one season. Additionally, consider

growing your own fruits, vegetables, and herbs. With the cost of fresh produce on the rise due to the current economic situation, cultivating edibles can offer tangible savings on grocery bills. 5. Connect with the Gardening Community Joining local gardening clubs or online groups can open doors to a wealth of resources. Members often share seeds, cuttings, tools, and expertise. Plant swaps are a fantastic way to diversify your garden without spending, and the shared knowledge can be invaluable for troubleshooting or learning new cost-saving tips. 6. Water Wisely Water bills can be a significant expense in gardening. Collect rainwater in barrels, mulch around plants to retain moisture, and water during the cooler parts of the day to reduce evaporation. If possible, design your garden with water-wise plants, particularly natives that are adapted to Australia’s
climate and require less hydration. 7. Reuse and Recycle Before buying new, think of ways to reuse items. Old newspapers can be used as weed barriers, broken pots can become drainage material for planters, and cardboard boxes can serve as composting material. Embracing a mindset of reuse not only aligns with the sustainable spirit of gardening but also curtails expenses. Amidst the financial pressures of Australia’s cost of living crisis, gardening emerges as a beacon of hope and resilience. It’s a testament to the fact that with creativity and resourcefulness, we can find pockets of joy and sustenance even in trying times. More than just a hobby, gardening can be a way of life – a declaration that even when times are tough, growth, both literal and metaphorical, remains within our grasp.

SYDNEY SPRINTCAR DRIVERS DOMINATE AT LISMORE SPEEDWAY By Dennis Newlyn From back page... Sydney Sprintcar competitor Jessie Attard drove to a superb victory in the “Hoedown at the Showground” 25-lap feature race at Castrol Lismore Speedway, Saturday night, November 18. Sydney drivers dominated the top three main event placings after Sam Walsh finished second and Daniel Sayre was placed third. However, it was Attard’s night. He posted his initial feature win and the emotion overflowed when he unbuckled from the driver’s seat of his high horsepower 410 Sprintcar at the start/ finish line after the race. “A lot of work has gone into this win,” he said choked on words as the momentous moment overflowed with
emotion. “A lot of people made this possible and I could not have got it done it without them. It’s (the main event win) now off my shoulders.” Attard drove a near-perfect race as he staved off Walsh’s full-on pursuit. At one point they ran close in testing lapped traffic, but Attard kept his cool and maintained his advantage. He posted the fastest lap time of the race when he clocked 11.668 seconds for an estimated speed of 110.5 mph near mid-distance. Walsh had set up the suspension especially to handle the tight confines of the Lismore Showground bull ring, but admitted after the race, the car was not at its best. “We got beaten by a better car tonight and congratulations to Jessie,” a gracious Walsh
said. “We were really battling tonight. We spent all night trying to keep the front wheels on the ground,” he explained in relation to the continual suspension adjustments. Daniel Sayre made a late charge into third after following Brody Appleby for most of the race. “The traffic was pretty hectic out there trying to get through the lapped cars,” Sayre admitted. Local Sprintcar stars were out of luck after Tony Bridge posted the best result with a ninth in the feature race. The only incident involved Kobi Wright who caused a red light near the end of the race when he crashed upside down into the fence, however he was uninjured. Other main event winners were: Boyd

Lismore Speedway will be the annual Boxing Night spectacular featuring the Mr Modified Series opening round.
Nick Smart hit a couple of sixes in a quick fire 20 and James Feaver with 12 from 11 hit out, but when they fell with score at36 and 38, the Lawrence bowling reasserted itself.. Francis Stanton with a patient 20no from 41 balls tried to stem the wicket loss, but was helpless as Ben Shaw ran through the batters at the other end. Shaw finished with 6/25 from his eight overs in a dominant display. Lawrence made short work of the chase with opener Ben Hill, 43no and skipper Nathan Ensbey, 17no headlining the 1/81 run chase in just 15.2 overs. Nathan Williams
took the only wicket to fall. The premier league game between Harwood and Brothers was decided last week, when Brothers forfeited the game. There were no scores submitted from the other first grade game between Coutts Crossing and Maclean United at Lower Fisher Turf. In the CRCA premier league games beginning on Saturday, at Ellem Oval, Aussie Hotel Coutts Crossing play GDSC Easts and at Ulmarra Showground Tucabia Copmanhurst hosts Lawrence. Both games are two day fixtures.
Easts scrambles to win over Harwood
By Tim Howard
GDSC Easts batters held their nerve to finish over the top of Harwood in the CRCA/LCCA combined first grade cricket match at Harwood Oval on Saturday. Harwood batted first after Easts skipper David Bruton-Duroux sent the home team in after winning the toss. But the hosts squandered the chance to set an imposing score after opener Ashley Moss, 50 and No. 3 Maison Simmons, 40 had put together a solid partnership. Their dismissal sparked a clatter of wickets with Bruton-Duroux claiming a couple of quick wickets with his left-arm spinners. Two run outs later in the innings didn’t help matters. Duncan Fisher’s brisk 20no from 23 balls was Harwood’s best effort in the lower half of the order as well as a generous 33 from extras including 23 wides and two no balls. A feature of the scorecard in the Harwood innings was the prevalence of the name Lobsey in the dismissals. Seven times the name Lobsey appeared as a bowler, catcher or part
of a run out as dad Matt and his two sons Gus and Theodore imposed themselves on the game. The Easts run chase was in trouble early as Harwood’s opening bowler Colby Vallete 2/8 made early breakthroughs. But opener Chris Chamberlain, 45 from 71 balls, kept his head as wickets tumbled. No. 6 Matt Lobsey changed the complexion of the game 42 from 37 balls and Gus Lobsey, 13no was at the crease when Easts passed the Harwood total. The extras total of 23 was the third highest total of the innings. As well as Vallette’s miserly performance, Cameron Ryan 2/17 and Fisher, 2/35 each picked up a brace. At Ellem Oval Tucabia Copmanhurst dominated Iluka in a low-scoring game that barely exceeded 44 overs. Iluka chose to bat first after winning the toss and was in trouble straight away when Andrew Ellis claimed three quick wickets. Dan Cootes followed with three of his own leaving the innings in deep trouble. Only a blistering 32 from 31 balls from No. 8

Jonno McEwen propelled the innings to 85 in 25 overs. Ellis finished with the remarkable figures of 5/7 and Cootes picked up 3/27. Tucabia were merciless in the run chase, reaching the Iluka total in the 19th over for the loss of two wickets. Ellis backed up his bowling effort with a patient 26 but it was
Matt Dougherty who finished the game off with a bang, clubbing 28no, including six boundaries, in a 13-ball cameo, taking Tucabia to a winning total of 2/87. The game at Yamba Oval between Yamba and Lawrence was also swift and low scoring. Lawrence sent the home team in after winning the toss and quickly ran through the top order.
