June Here we are in June already - where does the time go? It seems to go pretty quickly when you're working on the next month's edition when you haven't even made it to the 15th of the current month! The Queens Birthday long weekend is always a busy time on the coast, and this year is no exception. The 35th Merimbula Jazz Festival takes pride of place over the weekend, with a huge range of jazz-inspired music at 8 different venues. A continuous run of 35 years is testament to the organisers of the Festival and the quality of the musicians they attract. You can read more on page 10. Another Jazz Festival event is the Sapphire Coast Turf Club's Jazz Festival Race Day, with live music happening throughout the day, as well as great
country racing. Find more information on page 9. The Perisher PEAK Music Festival is also on over the long weekend, the opening weekend of the ski season. Fantastic music from Mahalia Barnes, Doug Williams & the Mix and many more make for a great reason to head to the mountains. See page 32. To acknowledge the 100th anniversary of the Anzac landing at Gallipoli, the Bega Pioneers Museum has a new exhibition "The Great War: Tales from the Far South Coast". Featuring the stories of locals' experience of war, this exhibition is a must for anyone with an interest in the First World War. Read more on page 20.

George Bass and Matthew Flinders were the first Europeans to ‘discover’ Twofold Bay in 1798, but the region had been inhabited by members of the Yuin nation for thousands of years, attracted by the rich food resources offered by the sea and surrounding forests. Local Aboriginal people had a strong connection with killer whales, and this included the harvesting of small whales and fish that killer whales herded into the shallows. A permanent shore-based whaling station was first established by the Imlay Brothers in the 1830s, and whaling continued for another century.
2
For a real taste of life in the whaling industry you can also visit Davidson Whaling Station, the longest operating shore-based whaling station in Australia, located on Kiah Inlet at Twofold Bay. Historic Boydtown is also worth a visit - make sure you drop in to the beautifully restored Seahorse Inn. You can experience some of Eden's history and see the skeleton of “Old Tom”, Eden’s famous killer whale, at the Eden Killer Whale Museum. Eden is now famous as a destination for whale-watching, with migrations occurring in late autumn and spring. The Sapphire Coast Marine Discovery Centre, located on Main Wharf, has displays of the local marine environment.

from overseas on designs of Canadian log cabins. He created a scale model of the cabin, secured building permission from the Girl Guide movement and oversaw the building of the cabin which was opened in 1936. When John Ronaldson Logan passed away at Edrom Lodge in 1937, an Australian newspaper article described his death as the loss of a ‘true patriot’. J R Logan: Community and Nation commemorates the contribution of this visionary man who served his country both formally during the First World War, and voluntarily upon his return. The exhibition also reflects on his determination and fervour to build the community’s infrastructure, and expand the town’s opportunities through utilising its natural wealth. The exhibition is on show until 18th October - details at www.killerwhalemuseum.com.au

When you turn on a light switch in Eden, think of John Ronaldson Logan, the local entrepreneur who established the town’s first public electricity plant a century ago. By some he is also considered the father of the Snowy Hydro-Electric Scheme, so passionate was he about the scheme and its potential for Eden and the district, he expended a great deal of personal time and finances planning and campaigning the merits of the project. Eden Killer Whale Museum also stands as testimony to Logan’s contribution to Eden. He showed great foresight in having the skeleton of the killer whale known as Old Tom preserved, and in securing a permanent home for it, allowing visitors from around the world to continue to experience the retelling of Eden’s killer whales and whaling stories. Logan built the beautiful Edrom Lodge as his family's home on the shores of Twofold Bay, now a heritage listed property located near the multi-purpose wharf. Taking three years to build and employing many locals, the construction of 'Edrom' as it was then known, was a boon to the Eden economy. Another local landmark that remains a symbol of Logan’s community spirit is the Log Cabin located in Bass Street. When he became aware that his daughter's girl guide brigade were desperate for a meeting place, Logan bought land and sourced information

The Pambula River floodplain was for thousands of years a source of food and materials for the Thaua people of the Yuin nation. Europeans first explored the region during George Bass's southern voyage
of 1797. Seeking shelter from a gale, Bass travelled up the Pambula River, noting its beauty in his diary. A marker has been erected by the National Parks and Wildlife Service on this historic site. European settlement began in the 1830s, with the original township built on the southern banks of the Pambula River. Severe flooding in the 1860s meant the town had to be re-located to its present site on higher ground. Pambula’s historic past is still very much in evidence, with beautifully restored and maintained historic buildings and farmhouses. Pambula now has an eclectic mix of businesses, with art galleries, cafes, restaurants, retailers, pubs, a wine bar selling locally made wines and local produce, a bakery, deli, organic and bulk food shop and even an oldfashioned milkbar.

Merimbula Jazz Festival, Merimbula Š Paul Callaghan
Merimbula Merimbula is the tourist hub of the Sapphire Coast with its lakeside restaurants and cafes, great shopping and a vast array of attractions and accommodation choices. Merimbula has a long history of human occupation, with Aboriginal people making the most of the available food resources, leaving behind middens that are visible today. In more recent times, Merimbula was one of several coastal trading ports connecting the region to the outside world, as the area was relatively isolated with a lack of rail or road access. The Old School Museum on Main St. has information and displays about the town’s early European history. There are several walking tracks that take advantage of the beautiful views around the Lake; from the Wharf to Spencer Park, from the Bridge to Top Lake and around Fishpen.
www.farsouthcoastimag.com.au Other things you can do around Merimbula include snorkelling, surfing, cycling, enjoying a scenic flights, ten-pin bowling, family fun parks or experiencing native animals or marine creatures up close. Merimbula is a great place to go shopping, with specialty shops and nationally-known outlets tucked away in arcades and courtyards. There are also plenty of cafes with great coffee. Foodies are spoilt for choice, with a wide range of restaurants, clubs and the Hotel offering a host of different dining experiences, but with fresh local seafood a common theme. For a musical night out, there are lots of venues in Merimbula that offer live music; especially during January as well as the annual Jazz Festival in June. Whales migrate past Merimbula from September to November each year, feeding and frolicking in the Bay, making it easy to whale watch from on board a boat or from the beach.
What to See & Do Eat fish 'n'chips on the beach and enjoy the sunset Ride a bike, rollerskate or walk past the airport to Pambula or Pambula Beach Go fishing off the Wharf, beaches or in the Lake Take the kids to playgrounds at Ford Park, Fishpen and Spencer Park Swim in the crystal clear water at Mitchies Jetty or Bar Beach.

The Great War: Tales from the Far South Coast at the Bega Pioneers Museum Heroes come in many shapes and forms, and when it comes to World War One we often think of the soldiers who fought so bravely for King and country. However, did you know that just over 2,000 women served in World War One as members of the Australian Army Nursing Service? Pearl Elizabeth Corkhill from Central Tilba was one of those women. Sister Corkhill enlisted as a staff nurse in June 1915 soon after she had finished her general nurses’ training in Sydney. She nursed in Cairo, France and England and was one of only seven Australian
nurses to be awarded the Military Medal. The Military Medal was an award for gallantry and devotion to duty when under fire in battle on land. Sister Corkhill received this award in 1918 while nursing at the 38th British Casualty Clearing Station close to the front line, for calmly working throughout a heavy German air raid without any regard for her own safety. Stories like Corkhill’s are part of The Great War: Tales from the Far South Coast exhibition showing at the Bega Pioneers’ Museum. This significant exhibition commemorates the centenary of World War One by telling local stories of courage, resilience and commitment using well-designed arrangements of stories, objects and images. The exhibition puts the catastrophic events of World War One into a regional context, and is relevant to people from all over the south east region. A feature of the exhibition is a digital display available for viewing on television screens. The display, A Camera on Gallipoli, shows candid photographs taken by Sir Charles Ryan while he was serving with the AIF during the Gallipoli campaign in 1915. His photographs are unique and capture the harsh reality of our soldiers’ experiences. Sir Charles Ryan served as a doctor with the Turkish army in 1877–78. He treated Ned Kelly at Glenrowan, was a leading Melbourne surgeon and gave long service as a senior military

officer. He was extended high civil and military recognition by his peers. In 1914, at the age of 61, Sir Charles Ryan was appointed consulting surgeon to the AIF. He embarked from Melbourne in October 1914 for the Middle East and then on to Gallipoli. You can view The Great War: Tales from the Far South Coast exhibition at the Bega Pioneers’ Museum. The museum is open Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 10am - 4pm, and Saturdays 10am - 2pm. The Exhibition has been made possible with funding from the Australian Government’s Anzac Centenary Local Grants Program and the Bega Valley Shire Council, and is sponsored by local businesses and organisations.

Cobargo The picturesque historic village of Cobargo is located half an hour north of Bega, in the midst of lush, green pastures rolling away to forested mountains. In the 1860s, Cobargo was known as Wattletown, as bark stripped from local wattle trees was shipped to Sydney and Melbourne to be used in the tanning industry. This industry only ceased in 1964. During the 1870s Cobargo had its own Post Office, General Store, school, Hotel, church and blacksmith, all supporting the local butter and

A Butter Factory and Co-op were established in 1901 and continued production, except for a short break due to fire, until 1980, when it closed because of changes in bulk milk production. Today, Cobargo is a creative, vibrant place reflecting the diversity and talents of those who live and work in the district. Cobargo combines the skills and craft of a working village with a genuinely historic past, its streetscape featuring many turn of the century buildings. The two storey building that is home to “Bangles Gallery” is a fine example of century-old architecture, and features beautiful wrought iron lace work around the verandahs. With galleries, cafes and established businesses like South Coast Leather and the unique Bangles Pottery shop, Cobargo is a great little village to spend some time wandering about in. Saturday mornings in particular see Cobargo come alive with the fantastic Laneway markets. Browse fresh produce, seedlings, herbs, local crafts,
craft supplies and other locally made goodies. There's also trashy treasures and treasured trash for the bargain hunters and the odd busker. West of Cobargo is the spectacular Wadbilliga National Park that contains the Brogo Wilderness Area. This wild area is a refuge for native flora and fauna, and is a great place for walking.

Tilba Living History
Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba lie on the slopes of Gulaga, a place of great spiritual significance to people from the Yuin nation. Named Mt. Dromedary by Captain Cook in 1770, gold was discovered on the lower slopes of Gulaga in the 1860s. Many of Tilba’s buildings were constructed in the late 1880s when the gold boom was at its peak. The entire village of Central Tilba was classified by the National Trust in 1974 in recognition of its historical significance. The village has become a centre for crafts people and artisans, as well as the famous Bates General Store and ABC Cheese Factory, located on Central Tilba’s main street.
Gulaga Gallery & Bookstore HEMP CLOTHES to make a skinny bloke handsome HIP CLOTHES to make a fat lady sing.... ENLIGHTENING BOOKS and CARDS that are awesome, HANDCRAFTED JEWELLERY and that SPECIAL THING! Gulaga Gallery and Bookstore is named after beautiful Gulaga Mountain which towers up behind Tilba. It was built at the end of the 19th Century from local eucalyptus timbers, and since 1991, this varied and enchanting shop has been owned by Shanti and Sol RamanaClarke. Sol has developed a unique style of jewellery using sterling silver and goldfilled wire to mount a huge variety of semi-precious stones. He might suggest you “pick a stone that jumps out at you” and watch him mount it into a pendant, ring ...or whatever... Sol also produced the widely acclaimed documentary film “The Hemp Solution - For A Sustainable Future”, so naturally you’ll find a full range of
environmentally friendly hemp clothes, hemp seed oil and cosmetics. Shanti’s passion for colour and style is reflected in the varied range of women's clothing in luxuriously soft bamboo and other natural fibres.

Wagonga Inlet, Narooma © Paul Callaghan
Narooma Narooma is one of the most scenic towns on the Far South Coast, sitting between the ocean and the startling blue-green waters of Wagonga Inlet, and it's also the perfect place for a relaxed coastal holiday. The town manages to retain a '1950s fishing village' vibe but modernised, with great shops, cafes and restaurants. It's a fantastic place for families, with a beach that's patrolled in summer, bike tracks and lots of waterways to explore or fish in. With a choice of flat stretches or hills, there are lots of places to walk around town and take in the spectacular views over the Inlet, the mountains and the ocean. Montague Island is located just offshore from Narooma and is a truly unique spot to visit. Twice voted as Tourism Australia’s top eco-tourism destination, you can take a National
Parks & Wildlife Service tour of the island covering its heritage-listed buildings, wildlife and history, or stay for a few nights in one of the Lighthouse Keeper's cottages. The island is home to the largest fur seal colony on the NSW coast, as well as being a breeding ground for 12,000 little penguins who come ashore at dusk after feeding at sea. Narooma is also renowned for its spectacular public golf course, ranked as one of the best in Australia. It's also a great place to go bike riding, with a tracks around town that are perfect for kids to practice. If you're a hard-core bike enthusiast, there are mountain bike tracks and sealed roads aplenty to check out. If you're looking for more leisurely pursuits, there are plenty of great cafes and restaurants to try, as well as shops to explore.

To experience what the town was like during the boom, a visit to the Original Gold Rush Colony is a must. Located in a natural Australian bush setting on 4.5ha, the Original Gold Rsuh Colony, formerly known as Old Mogo Town, is a great place to step back in time. After taking out the award for Cultural and Heritage Tourism at the South Coast Regional Tourism Awards in 2008, 2009 and 2010, in 2011 the Original Gold Rush Colony won the Heritage and Cultural Tourism - Hall of Fame award. Mogo is now famous for its great range of specialty stores, housed in replica nineteenth century timber buildings. There are potteries, galleries, antique stores, bookshop and coffee shops, many of which specialise in unusual and interesting items. Mogo is the perfect place to spend time browsing for something a little bit different.
Also in Mogo is the internationally recognised Mogo Zoo. Providing world standard facilities for over 200 animals of more than 39 rare and exotic species, Mogo Zoo is committed to the survival of endangered species, including the rare white lions of ‘Timbavati’. Mogo Zoo won the Tourist Attraction category and the People's Choice Award at the 2012 South Coast Regional Tourism Awards. Congratulations to the Original Gold Rush Colony and Mogo Zoo on their recent awards - they certainly did Mogo proud.

Clyde River, Batemans Bay © Paul Callaghan
Batemans Bay
www.farsouthcoastimag.com.au
Like many coastal towns, Batemans Bay, settled by Europeans in the 1820s, relied on timber, ship building, dairying and fishing as its main source of income over the past 200 years. The Old Courthouse Museum has a wonderful collection of historical items and is well worth a visit. The town is accessed from the north by its famous lifting span bridge, the oldest of its type in Australia. Now a thriving regional centre and major tourist destination, people come to Batemans Bay from all over Australia for its natural beauty. Situated on the banks of the magnificent Clyde River, water is deeply ingrained in the culture of ‘the Bay’. Swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking, surfing and diving are all within easy reach of town. The Bay is famous for its Clyde River oysters, and there are plenty of cafes, restaurants, clubs and hotels offering local seafood on the menu.
The shopping is great too with the Village Centre and Bridge Plaza, plus an array of national brand outlets and local specialty stores. The Batemans Marine Park ensures that the coastal environment is protected for future generations. There are also several great national parks to explore within easy driving distance. Batemans Bay is a great destination for families, with its array of outdoor activities and attractions such as minigolf, a cinema, animal park, tennis and a carnival in summer. Hire a boat, kayak or a houseboat to explore the spectacular upper reaches of the Clyde River. Follow the coastline south to explore beautiful beaches to be found at Malua Bay, Rosedale and Broulee. Head north to Durras Lake for a spot of fishing, bushwalk in the Murramarang National Park or say hello to the kangaroos at Pebbly Beach.

Unique waterfront holiday townhouses It's hard to beat the location of Bluedock Townhouses. Situated on the Clyde River, yet only a two minute scenic walk takes you to the town centre of Batemans Bay. The new foreshore parkland and boat ramp provide for ample activity for the family's enjoyment, whilst the private jetty at the rear of the complex is ideal for a kayak, fishing or to enjoy a picnic on the grassed area. On those hot summer days you may wish to enjoy the swimming pool located in the centre of the complex. Bluedock Townhouses consists of 2 and 3 bedroom apartments. All have been tastefully renovated and feature full kitchen and laundry facilities, large flat-screen TV, air conditioning and
barbeques. Each has its own single or double garage. All linen is provided. If you're wanting some peace and serenity, the apartments at the rear are for you, with the odd oyster farmer silently coming past on his barge or the sound of the bird life in the mangroves. The apartments at the front are for those who love to be part of the hive of activity which makes Batemans Bay so popular with water lovers and holiday makers. To accommodate your needs, Bluedock is able to provide overnight stays through to weekly and longer term, offering reasonable discounts for extended stays. For more information, phone 02 4472 6444.
