FROM THE FOR REAL TEAM Now that the Festive Season is over we welcome in the start of a brand new year. This is always a very exciting time as we start to think about the year ahead and make those all important new year resolutions.

January gives us the opportunity to celebrate being Australian. Australia Day is more than just a public

holiday, it is also a time for Australians from all backgrounds to celebrate national unity, to wave the flag and take an active part in the community. It is an opportunity for Australians to come together to celebrate their country and culture.

Australia Day actvities are happening around the region including BBQ breakfasts, flag raising cermonies and citizenship awards. The Australia Day holiday is also a

great opportunity to enjoy a BBQ with family and friends or to simply spend some fun times together.

So grab yourself a mate and an aussie flag and make the most of this fun time of year. Happy 2014!

Tri state safaris Remember when a holiday was a real adventure It’s been yet another busy year for Mick & Jo McCulkin – who would have guessed that a dream Mick had to pursue his love of the outback 21 years ago could have led to a multi award winning tourism business, right here in Broken Hill.

around the Northern Territory for 15 years. Rearing two children while living in a remote aboriginal community in the Tanami Desert Jo also developed a love of the wide open spaces and life in remote areas, as well as a great appreciation of Indigenous culture.

You’ve probably seen the Tri State Safaris 4 wheel drives getting around town picking up passengers from all around Australia and various corners of the globe. Quite often their passengers are Broken Hill locals who have decided to hop on board and see some of their own back yard – something that many of us are guilty of taking for granted.

Back in 1998 Mick met Jo in a crowded Newcastle bar. Jo often says she was probably the only one in Newcastle that night who would have even considered moving to Broken Hill – but 4 months later she was living here ……. and they haven’t looked back since. Together they have turned Mick’s hobby into one of Australia’s most talked about tour companies.

When Mick was younger he couldn’t decide if he wanted to be a builder or a policeman. To settle any potential arguments with his conscience he became both, and it was the latter that brought him to Broken Hill. As a Sydney policeman he worked in the Mounted Police, Air Wing, Highway Patrol and Driver Training Academy then decided on the move to Broken Hill.

Nowadays they tour way past the Corner Country, where it all began. They still do regular day tours to places such as Mutawintji, Kinchega, White Cliffs and Silverton, but their passion for adventure now takes them to places such as far flung as the Simpson Desert and Kimberley regions. “People often ask me what my favourite part of Australia is, and I reply it’s that bit of land in between the Indian and Pacific Oceans” said Mick.

Ask Mick how the idea for Tri State Safaris came about “We used to go out on patrol for four days at a time and everywhere we went tourists would stop and ask for directions and want to know the answers to all the touristy type questions. Tri State started as a hobby, and after 20 years in the Police Force I decided it was time to move on. I had fallen in love with Broken Hill and wanted to stay here, and I was passionate about being a full time tour guide.

Mick often comments “These days our passengers aren’t wearing handcuffs, that makes for a nice change.” Jo also had an interesting journey before finding herself in Broken Hill. She left Sydney in her early 20’s and moved

Most people travel with us as passengers in our vehicles, however we have many people who want to ‘drive the adventure’ themselves. They bring their own 4wd vehicle and tag-along on the tour – these people get all the same inclusions as our passengers, but just enjoy the drive while we do all the organization and provide everything for them.

Some people seem to think that all our tours involve camping, but most actually use the interesting variety of accommodation venues to be found around the outback – some luxury, some basic, and of course on the extended tours there is some camping.

Back in 2004 Mick and Jo first started the process of entering the Tourism Awards. This was a start of a whole new era for Tri State Safaris. The first year entering we came away with a Distinction at the NSW Awards, which was a thrilling outcome for a little tour company from outback NSW. At this stage the awards were dominated by winners from Sydney and the coast, so even our Distinction raised a few eyebrows …….. where was Broken Hill exactly??

They kept plugging away and in 2006 took out GOLD not only at the NSW level, but also at the Australian Tourism Awards – now everyone knew where Broken Hill was!

All of a sudden there was some competition from the outback, and other outback and regional businesses started to chip away at the competition. It certainly caused a few shock waves in the room that night in 2006 when Tri State Safaris knocked off Sydney Harbor Bridge Climb, Harbor Jet and Sydney Sea Planes in the Adventure Tourism and Significant Tour & Transport Operator categories at the NSW Awards.

Since then Mick & Jo have continued to enter Tri State Safaris and its sister business, Mutawintji Eco Tours in the Awards. They have now amassed 5 GOLD and 2 SILVER awards at National level, 12 GOLD and 2 SILVER awards at NSW level, and are in both the NSW and Inland NSW Hall of Fame for both Adventure Tourism and Tour & Transport Operator categories. These days, when attending the gala events put on by NSW Tourism or Australian Tourism, everyone in the room not only knows where Broken Hill is, but they expect to be up against some tough competition from the outback. In a room of about 850 of our tourism peers the outback shines bright.

10

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

The outback contingent in the awards process is continually growing and pleasingly there were 5 outback finalists and many more regional winners and finalist at the NSW Tourism Awards, which were held in Sydney in late November. Mick and Jo’s most recent GOLD win now means that they will be off to the Nationals in February to represent NSW and the outback in the Indigenous Tourism category. Having previously taken out this category at the Nationals in 2010 you’d think they could be on a sure thing, but the Indigenous Tourism industry in Australia is going from strength to strength, so they will be up against some tough competition.

Along the way, Mick decided in his ‘spare time’ he would set up the Australian Driver Training Academy here in Broken Hill. With his police background to draw on, and many years of teaching individuals, businesses, mining companies and government departments how to use their 4wd vehicles properly, it seemed a natural progression to give the training part of the business an identity of its own.

The Australian Driver Training Academy is a Registered Training Organization offering 4wd, Defensive and ATV driver training right around NSW, and with a constantly growing client base the idea of Mick having any spare time these days went right out the window.

What makes Tri State Safaris successful? According to Mick it’s a number of things, including a solid commitment to customer satisfaction and their passion for the environment. “We believe that each customer places an enormous amount of trust in us to deliver, and we are very caring for the areas we visit, and love to share our care for country with others. But above all else, it’s not just about making money – we truly believe in what we are doing”.

lamington recipe great aussie TREAT Lamingtons are a quintessential part of every Australian’s childhood. The little sponge cake is dipped in chocolate icing and then rolled in desiccated coconut.

These days Lamingtons are also commercially produced, however they don’t taste as good as the homemade versions.

To make these Lamingtons extra special you can fill them with fresh whipped cream and strawberry jam.

2 cups of all-purpose flour 2 tsp of baking powder 1/4 tsp of sea salt 2 large eggs 1/2 cup of room temperature butter 3/4 cup of white sugar 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup of milk 2 cups of icing sugar 1/3 cup of cocoa powder 3 tbs of butter 1/2 cup of milk Whipped cream for serving

Preparation: 1. Preheat the oven to 350F (180C).

the butter and sugar mixture together until pale and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter/sugar mixture. Beat well after adding each egg.

Add the vanilla to the mixture and mix well to combine.

Next, use a spatula and alternately add the flour mixture and milk, in three additions, starting and finishing with the flour.

Spread the batter into the cake tin, making sure it is evenly spread.

Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. Test the centre of the cake with a toothpick and make sure it comes out clean.

Cool the cake in the tin for about 5 minutes and then invert it onto a wire rack to cool.

Once the cake has cooled, cut it into squares of a desired size and place them in an airtight container.

Pop the container in the fridge for at least 2 hours or even overnight.

Icing: 1. Place the icing sugar, cocoa powder, butter and milk in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.

2. Stir the mixture until it is smooth but still a bit thick.

You do not want the liquid to get too thin otherwise the sponge cake won’t absorb the coating.

3. Now it is time to assemble the Lamingtons. Put out some newspaper under wire racks to catch any mess.

Place the cake pieces on the racks and have your chocolate icing and desiccated coconut ready.

4. Quickly coat the sponge cake on all sides in the icing mixture and then gently roll the cake in the coconut.

Repeat the process.

The Lamingtons can be stored in an airtight container for 5 days.

Paws in the park A DAY OF FUN WITH YOUR FURRY FRIEND On the 24th of November 2013, Broken Hill Pet Rescue held its inaugural Paws in the Park, with the event held at Sturt Park. It was a fantastic event enjoyed by everyone as well as their four legged friends.

There were a variety of events and competitions run on the day with the main event being the Paws walk around Sturt Park. Other events on the day included, biggest dog, smallest dog, best trick, best dressed dog, dog that most looked like its owner, a treat guessing jar, raffles and a lucky dip. There were also stalls and a BBQ on offer. The highlight of the event was a visit from Farmer Dave and Working Breed Rehab from Sydney, Farmer Dave being known for his time on TV on Big Brother and Dancing with the Stars.

Farmer Dave was the MC for the day providing great entertainment with plenty of laughs, a big thankyou to Farmer Dave for his support of the event. Broken Hill Pet Rescue would also like to thank the West Darling Hunting Club for their support manning the BBQ for the day and donating proceeds back to Broken Hill Pet Rescue.

The day could not have been so successful without the help of sponsors and the assistance of stallholders providing products and information to visiting people and their dogs. Special mention to Far West Community Legal Centre for their support and including the event as part of The Festival of Respect and 2BH and the BDT for advertising leading up to the event.

It is estimated that around 300 dogs and their owners attended the event throughout the day. All animals were 12

HOW TO KEEP COOL

broken hill ymca

looking after yourself IN HEAT

Celebrity trainer, Commando Steve held two boot camp sessions at Broken Hill on Saturday November 30. The YMCA Broken Hill and YMCA managed Broken Hill Regional Aquatic Centre were major sponsors of the event.

Heat exhaustion is one of the heat-related illnesses that can occur when the body can no longer keep itself cool.

A group of YMCA members attended the event, including Kerry McDonald the Centre Manager of YMCA Broken Hill. A number of local women had been preparing for the gruelling boot camp.

A morning and an evening boot camp session was held on the Broken Hill soccer ovals with a lunch/dinner and inspirational talk afterwards.

YMCA rose over $300 through spectator fees on the day and an in centre raffle. The money raised goes towards subsiding YMCA Broken Hill youth programs offered at the centre, such as the YMCA Sports and Games Clinic school holiday program in January.

YMCA Broken Hill will be holding a weekly boot camp class during December. For those interested in joining the team call the centre on 08 8088 1999 or visit ymcansw.org.au/brokenhill.

Throughout the summer in Broken Hill the temperatures can soar. This is a time when it is important to make sure you are not only looking after yourself, but also any elderly neighbours, as well as pets.

Symptoms of heat exhaustion are: profuse sweating, weakness, headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, dark-coloured urine. Prevention is the key to avoiding heat exhaustion.

There are a number of things you can do to avoid heat exhaustion.

• Wear light loose fitting clothing • Avoid being outside if the heat index is too high • Protect your skin from the sun: wear sunscreen, wear a wide brimmed hat and/or use an umbrella.

• Drink plenty of fluids (particularly water) • Avoid drinking caffeinated drinks • Take frequent breaks between activities, ensuring you rest and drink plenty of water • Schedule activities for the cooler parts of the day, the hottest parts of the day are between 10am and 6pm

Business canvas planning for next year Planning is something that lots of people in business run away from, quite often quickly. There are so many things to do so planning gets pushed down the pile and therefore never happens.

A business canvas is a simple and neat tool that creates an understanding of the business and aids with planning.

It is one sheet of paper and therefore can be referenced easily.

Working on your business with a plan is incredibly important, it helps to understand where you are going and sets the tone as well as the direction for a future period, usually a year, be that calendar or financial.

It is divided into nine sections in which you can outline aspects of the business:

Imagine having a race, say the Paris Dakar Rally, an internationally renowned car and motorcycle race. The days are planned with stages, so all the entrants know where they will be starting and finishing each day as well as for the overall race.

Now think what would happen if it became the Paris Somewhere Rally. Would anyone get anywhere, let alone to the finish, there would be no organisation and each team would make it up as they go along. How would the vehicles get serviced, how would fuel be supplied? There are so many issues they cannot be listed.

If this is thought about in a business sense, not having a plan is like the Paris Somewhere Rally. How do you know where you are going? How do the staff? How will it be funded? Again so many questions‌.

Silverton Gaol HISTORICAL MUSEUM broken hill historical society The original gaol was of wood and iron construction and was not a very secure building resulting in prisoners being secured by leg irons. This gaol was frequently overcrowded, and prisoners were often chained to nearby pepper trees.

One time a local (Mr. Harry Smith) was chained to a log by the constabulary and found he could detach the chain from the log. Feeling the affects of the previous nights session, he decided he could put the chain over his arm and paid a visit to the bar of DeBaun’s Hotel bar. After a few drinks he returned to the gaol and re-attached himself to the log. Later he was before the magistrate who remarked to the police “that they should take better care of their birds as they may not always come back to roost”. Poor Smith was fined five shillings or 48 hours detention.

Conditions of crowding led to the present building of stone being erected in 1889 by the contractors Walter & Morris, at a cost of 5,035 pounds. In 1891 the gaol was manned by Sergeant D.A. Wilson, Constables James Tindale, James Smith, J.L. White and W.R. Baker; and gaol warders A. Findlay and James McKenzie.

Following the opening of the Broken Hill Gaol in 1892, the decrease in the population of Silverton, and the establishment of the Police Court, District Court and Quarter Sessions at Broken Hill, the Silverton Gaol was thereafter used only for short-term prisoners and for overnight lock-up purposes.

In the 1930’s the gaol for some time was converted into a boys’ reformatory. The Police Station and the Gaol were closed in 1943, and the residential section was tenanted for a number of years (one of B/Hills identities Pud Tonkin lived there). Many documents of historical interest were thoughtlessly destroyed during that period. The property subsequently was abandoned, and soon became a target for extensive vandalism.

The Broken Hill Historical Society which was formed in 1965 was searching for premises to open as an historical museum. This gaol has been, since its establishment, used for the display of photographs, documents, household, pastoral and mining equipment, and other items associated with the discovery and development of the West Darling and Barrier Districts of the New South Wales.

The Silverton Gaol and Historical Museum was officially opened for public inspection on 15th September 1968 and has since, with volunteer helpers at the helm, opened 364 days of the year weather permitting. The gaol consists of a number of buildings arranged to form an internal courtyard, and the rooms have been filled with interesting objects.

The society continues to maintain the complex on a daily basis. Major works do on occasions attract grants which have to applied for, the latest being a federal grant under “ Your Community Heritage Program”. Panels have been installed to provide visitors with a colorful explanation of the districts history. The gaol is in the unincorporated area of NSW and without those injections of money the society keeps the building going by means of an entrance fee or by donations. All this is done on a voluntary basis with members driving themselves to the museum.

The Broken Hill Historical Society was instrumental in setting up a special Trust in 1966, and the premises were ceded to the Trust by the New South Wales department of lands. The building was then renovated by members and friends of the Broken Hill Historical Society, for preservation because of its historic interests.

Externally the verandah timbers were replaced with cyprus pine flooring and a ramp installed for easy access, gutters were replaced, fascia’s, stone work all were restored and the chimney rendered. Internally all the walls were cleaned and the courtyard paved for safe foot travel.

What is Active after School, it’s an Australian Government national initiative delivered through the Australian Sports Commission that provides primary school children with access to free sport and other structured physical activity programs in the after school time slot of 3.00pm to 5.30pm.

The Active after School Communities (AASC) program aims to provide primary school children with a positive introduction to sport and other structured physical activities, which motivates them to be active for life. The program has two main outcomes, engaging primary school children into structured physical activity and provide opportunities for ongoing participation in organised sport.

This is achieved through utilising the Playing for Life philosophy. Playing for life is an approach to coaching

that uses games rather than drills to introduce the skills and tactics of the particular sport or structured physical activity being delivered.

As one of the parents and an active coach, I enjoy watching and spending time with these kids of all different ages develop their confidence and skills in a range of sports. Being Active is about instilling confidence in our kids to gaining the basic gross motor skills by either throwing a ball or learning to use a bat or club.

It’s about trying out a sport like golf that they wouldn’t normally try and encouraging them to sign up or join a local community club because we’ve given them the opportunity to give it a go, but most of all because they love it. More importantly because they want to do it!

I fell into being an Active Coach by pure accident, as the school needed more coaches. Feeling that my two children could benefit from this social interaction and

physical activity, I signed up and haven’t looked back since.

Even the parents are all for Active, their responses to the program is that ‘it is a wonderful service and the kids get to interact with other kids that they normally wouldn’t’ and another would rather their kids be ‘active for an hour, than sit in front of the TV when they get home’. So it’s a win/ win for everyone! So how can your child be a part of this innovative program at their school? Just ask!

I do this for the kids and I feel that not only the physical side encourages activity which seems to be a growing concern within today’s inert society, but also the confidence in themselves to build relationships with school peers and may even deter bullying because of these established friendships through this program. It is far reaching in its benefits to all school aged children.

Active has come to a close for this year, it will be back again at Burke Ward for 2014. Our program kicks off with Tennis and Aussie Rules and talking to my other Active coaches we have a few interesting and fun ways to ‘change it up’ for next year. But for now, we wish all Active Kids all around Broken Hill, a very safe and happy holidays and to actively have fun in everything you do over the school holidays! For when the New Year starts, you better be ready and set to go, to get your Active On!

There are so many wonderful things I could say about Active, a few you have already read about. The program also encourages healthy eating. As part of the Active Program every afternoon, the children receive a platter of freshly cut fruit and juices to start off their afternoon of fun.

As coaches, our duty of care is about healthy lifestyle choices, instilling sportsmanship and nurturing each child’s ability to learn at different levels.

We can and we do ‘change it up’ it’s a great way of playing and adjusting the difficulty of each activity. Changing it up is where we start with a game like tennis, usually hitting the ball to each other but to ‘change it up’ we could use the basketball rings to learn to improve accuracy by trying to hit the tennis ball through the hoop! Sounds like fun? It sure is, it heaps of fun!

We’ve changed it up with so many sports this year, soccer, touch footy, cricket, tennis and golf just to name a few.

We’ve even had special visitors to put us through our paces at their clinics; Cricket Australia, NRL and Tennis Australia have all visited.

Our kids’ response to Active after school was varied and that is how we like it: Keegan on tennis: ‘I like tennis. I like hitting the ball far’; Billy on the touch footy clinic: ‘I loved when the NRL boys came and played cool games’;

Any club or community members that want to get involved in the program should contact Tony on 08 8087 5371 or visit ausport.gov.au

Dylan on Cricket: ‘I like practicing bowling in cricket.’

INTRODUCING Cathy Heiss DIRECTOR, rainbow preschool With the start of the new school year next month, we thought it appropriate to speak to find out more about Cathy Heiss, the director of one of Broken Hill’s preschools.

North School and the other at Railwaytown School. These mobile preschools are mainly for the kids zoned to the school. Currently, Rainbow Preschool has about 20 staff, who all help to make this preschool a great one.

Tell us about yourself.

I completed a 4 year Early Childhood Degree at Newcastle University and worked at a preschool in Newcastle, before coming to Broken Hill about 8 years ago.

Are there any events or exciting things happening in the future?

I guess the most exciting thing for us is looking forward to meeting all the new children and families arriving at Rainbow Preschool next month and watching them start their adventure into schooling life. Of these new kids, some have never left mum and/or dad before so it is part of a big adventure for both the children and their families.

Where do you work and what do you do?

I am the Director of Rainbow Preschool, a mum to three girls and I am also am involved in the Early Years Discussion Group. This group meets once a month to network, brainstorm and organise training. There are also people from Maari Maa, the Toy Library, and the long daycare centres who attend this meeting.

How did you get to where you are now?

We moved here when my husband was transferred to teach at Willyama High School. At that time, we planned to only stay for the 3 years and then head back to the coast, but although it was a massive change, we are now settled here.

What are the highlights in what you do?

There are many highlights: watching a child develop to be ready for school, getting to know the children, watching a child run to the gate keen to get inside for their day at preschool.

What is the organizations history?

Rainbow Preschool was built by the mines, and was originally only for mining families. Back in the 80s, the preschool was then handed to the community of Broken Hill so that any preschool-age child in Broken Hill could attend.

In the time that I have been at Rainbow Preschool it has grown from a 2-room centre with 39 kids each day to a 3-room centre with 59 children each day. Rainbow Preschool has also started two mobile preschools, one at

the Big screen film festival broken hill, menindee & wilcannia The Big Screen Film Festival came to Broken Hill, Menindee and Wilcannia for its 13th year. The Big Screen is a travelling film festival, presenting new and archival Australian films to audiences across regional and rural Australia. This year the opening night film was Mystery Road, and we were fortunate enough to have Mystery Road introduced by the star of the film Aaron Pedersen.

Aaron Pedersen transitioned into acting, after initially training as a journalist at the ABC. Through his work on Wildside, Water Rats, MDA, Territorians, Grassroots, Queen of Hearts, Black Jack, East West 101 and The Secret Life of Us, Aaron has been able to champion the changing representation of Indigenous people in Australia.

More recently, he played the lead role in the SBS miniseries, The Circuit, and starred in the Seven Network series, City Homicide. In 2012, Aaron appeared alongside Guy Pearce in two ABC telemovies, Jack Irish: Bad Debts and Jack Irish: Black Tide, based on the thriller novels by Peter Temple.

In 2013, Aaron starred in Ivan Sen’s feature Mystery Road, for which he is also an Associate Producer. Mystery Road screened in Special Presentation at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Aaron will also be seen in Warwick Thornton’s The Darkside, the third telemovie Jack Irish: Dead Point, and the upcoming ABC series, Code.

Aaron’s film credits include Suri Krishnamma’s Bad Karma with Ray Liotta and Dominic Purcell, Dead Heart, Saturday Night, Grange, Unfinished Business, Mimi, and Mirror Images.

After the screening of Mystery Road, Aaron also held a Q&A session answering questions from attendees. It was a fantastic event and highlights the continued dedication of the Big Screen Film Festival to regional areas of Australia.

Mystery Road follows the story of Indigenous cowboy detective Jay Swan, who returns to his outback hometown to solve the murder of a teenage girl, whose body is found under the highway-trucking route out of town.

Alienated from both the white dominated police force and his own community, including his teenage daughter, who he discovers is connected with the murdered girl, Jay stands alone in his determination to fight back for his town and his people.

Mystery Road is an enjoyable film from start to finish and features some of Australia’s biggest stars including, Aaron Pedersen, Hugo Weaving, Jack Thompson and Ryan Kwanten.

Other films that were shown throughout the festival were Eric Bana’s car classic, Love the Beast, musical romantic comedy Goddess with Ronan Keating and Magda Szubanski, plus a family film Return to Nim’s Island with Bindi Irwin and a host of adorable wildlife.

There was also a program of films on display named Silver City Classics with films shown about Broken Hill. It featured films dating back to 1907 and also included Frank Hurley’s Silver City from 1936 and Barrier Story shot in Broken Hill in 1958.

australia day 26th January 2014 Australia Day is more than just a public holiday, it is also a time for Australians from all backgrounds to celebrate national unity, to wave the flag and take an active part in the community. It is an opportunity for Australians to come together to celebrate their country and culture.

1838: Celebrations held to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Phillip’s landing and the commencement of the traditional Australia Day public holiday in NSW 1888: Centenary celebrations for Anniversary Day across the nation Centennial Park permanently reserved for public use

In 1787, King George III sealed Australia’s fate by declaring it Britain’s new convict colony. Being sent to Botany Bay was a severe punishment. Sentences ranged from a minimum exile of seven years to life, with varying degrees of hard labour.

1901: January 1, Federation of the Commonwealth of Australia

Under the command of Arthur Phillip, 11 ships of the First Fleet left Plymouth on 13 May 1787. It was an arduous journey with more than 1,400 people living in cramped conditions.

Believing that Botany Bay was unsuitable for permanent settlement, Captain Phillip led the fleet north into Port Jackson, landing on 26 January 1788 after eight months at sea. Phillip named it Sydney Cove, after Lord Sydney the British Home Secretary.

More than 700 convicts (188 female), 700 merchant seamen, Royal Navy and Marine personnel and families, 209 fowls, 74 pigs, 35 ducks, 29 sheep, 29 geese, 19 goats, 18 turkeys, 5 cows, 4 stallions, 3 mares and 2 bulls disembarked from the First Fleet.

1788: Captain Arthur Phillip unfurls the British flag at Sydney Cove and proclaims British sovereignty over the eastern seaboard of Australia 1808: First recorded celebrations on 26 January 1817: Governor Macquarie recommends the adoption of the name Australia for the entire continent, replacing New Holland 1818: Governor Macquarie holds the first official celebrations on 26 January, marking thirty years of white settlement

1931: Australia Day adopted in Victoria 1932: Australia Day adopted in NSW only to be reversed to Anniversary Day by the incoming state government 1935: Commonwealth Government and all States and Territories except NSW adopt Australia Day as the official title for our national day 1984: Australians ceased to be ‘British subjects’; ‘Advance Australia Fair’ replaced ‘God Save the Queen’ as the national anthem 1988: Bicentennial celebrations and for the first time a united public holiday on the 26 January.

The Tall Ships arrived in Sydney Harbour and a reenactment of the First Fleet landing was staged. The largest Aboriginal protest march in history occurred on 26 January and Australia Day was labelled by Indigenous Australians as ‘Invasion Day’ Australia Day has consequently evolved from a small commemorative New South Wales holiday into a major national celebration. Whereas once it celebrated the staunchly British nature of Australian society it now embraces multicultural Australia, including all ethnic backgrounds, racial differences and political viewpoints. Australia Day today is a celebration of diversity and tolerance in Australian society.

1836: First Anniversary Regatta held on Sydney Harbour. This is now the Australia Day Regatta, the oldest continuous sailing regatta in the world

frosty’s travels Life on the road What is the story behind Frostys Travels?

The story behind Frostys Travels is that my wife and I had decided we have had enough of the normal mainstream life style. We had our little girl in 2006 and we wanted to give her a great adventure and be a close family. We also wanted to enjoy what our great country has to offer. We distance educate our daughter and we all are getting a great understanding about life on the road and what there is out in the real world. As our family name is Frost we used as our travel name.

I have a trade as a boilermaker welder and Tanya has a cert 3 in age care and so we thought we would work around Australia as there is places that may need a welder or age care worker. We are going to put a time limit of 3 months in one place at anytime. Broken Hill was an exception as we have been here for over 12 months.

What made you decide to get the bonnet of your car painted?

The painting was a gift to us, we became great friends with Howard over this period and he wanted to do a painting on our old 4wd, the answer was yes by us.

What is the background story to the painting?

As I was involved with both the CFS and Ambos in SA I thought it would be like a tribute to all emergency services. That is why they are on the bonnet. As we are also into four wheel driving, exploring the outback and we love watching four wheel drive shows as well as other groups; we thought we would put their names on as well.

With regards to the people and other groups we thought we would share this with our friends that has followed us as we traveled, however we had to put a limit as we could only get so many in the painting. Howard has also painted the wind deflector and the snorkel and it looks great.

Where are you off to next on your travels?

We are heading to Kadina, SA where I was born, as its my mums 80th birthday. We were foster parents in WA and have a foster daughter that also turns 21 in Jan and so she is flying over to SA to celebrate her 21st with us and stay for a couple of weeks before flying back.

Then we may head north, south, east or west; we will play it by ear. We are selling our house in Perth and we will be able travel more freely and may buy something in Broken Hill as a base. I love my photography and we are looking at doing photos, short stories and putting together information about the people and places we see as we travel.

THE AUSTRALIAN FLAG some things YOU MAY NOT KNOW The Australian flag is a symbol of our country, we all know it; but do we know its history and the associated etiquette with the use of the flag.

The flag’s original design (with a six-pointed Commonwealth Star) was chosen in 1901 from entries in a worldwide competition held following Federation, and was first flown in Melbourne on 3 September 1901 (this date has been proclaimed as Australian National Flag Day), although a slightly different design was approved

by King Edward VII in 1902. Over the next few years, the exact specifications of the flag were changed several times both intentionally and as a result of confusion. The current specifications were formally gazetted in 1934, and in 1954, the flag became recognised by, and legally defined in, the Flags Act 1953, as the “Australian National Flag”.

Guidelines for flying the flag are laid out in the 1953 Flags Act and in a pamphlet entitled “The Australian National Flag”, which is published by the Australian Government on an infrequent basis. The guidelines say that the Australian National Flag is allowed to be flown on every day of the year, and that it “should be treated with respect and dignity it deserves as the nation’s most important national symbol”.

Whether the flag is displayed flat against a surface (either horizontally or vertically), on a staff, on a flag rope, or suspended vertically in the middle of a street, the Union Jack should be in the uppermost left quarter as viewed by a person facing the flag. Even when the flag is displayed vertically, this rule must be followed, although to the casual observer the flag appears to be back to front. The reason for this is that the canton is the position of honour on the flag.

Flying the Australian National Flag at half-mast • Flags are flown in the half-mast position as a sign of mourning. To bring the flag to the half-mast position,

the flag must first be raised to the top of the mast (the ‘peak’) then immediately lowered slowly to the halfmast position.

•

Under no circumstances should a flag be flown at half-mast at night, whether or not the flag is illuminated.

•

Flags in any locality may be flown at half-mast on the death of a local citizen or on the day, or part of the day, of their funeral.

•

There are occasions when direction will be given by the responsible Commonwealth government minister for all flags to be flown at half-mast.

Some examples of these occasions are: • On the death of the Sovereign (King or Queen) – the flag should be flown from the time of announcement of the death up to and including the funeral. On the day the accession of the new Sovereign is proclaimed, it is customary to raise the flag to the top of the mast from 11 a.m. until the usual time for closures of business ; •

On the death of a member of a royal family – by special command of the Sovereign and/ or by direction of the responsible Commonwealth government minister;

•

On the death of the Governor-General or a former Governor-General;

•

On the death of a distinguished Australian citizen, in accordance with protocol;

•

On the death of the head of state of another country with which Australia has diplomatic relations – the flag would be flown on the day of the funeral or as directed’ FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

OUTBACK NSW IN THE SPOTLIGHT ELDEE STATION Outback accommodation provider Eldee Station has once again proved that a hands-on experience in stunning surroundings is the key to success, when it scored a spot in the finals at the 2013 NSW Tourism Awards.

“We provide visitors with a level of unexpected sophistication and comfort with many of the services and facilities found in major cities around Australia.”

Eldee has won the ‘hosted accommodation’ category at the Inland Tourism Awards for three years in a row.

The unique site sits just 56 kilometres from Broken Hill and offers an authentic outback escape with a range of accommodation options including traditional campsites and motel rooms and suites overlooking the Mundi Mundi Plains and Barrier Ranges.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON ELDEE STATION & THE NSW TOURISM AWARDS

The NSW Tourism Award held a ceremony for finalists in Sydney last week, where the winners for each category were announced.

Owners Naomi and Stephen Schmidt said that they were thrilled to be recognised by their peers as a finalist.

The forth-generation station owners placed second in the Hosted Accommodation section last year, but unfortunately missed out on snagging another award last week.

•

Eldee Station was the most ‘western’ entry for the 2013 NSW Tourism Awards for the third year in the row- it is just 17 kilometres from the South Australian border.

•

Eldee is traditionally a sheep and cattle station however, against the odds, Naomi and Stephen have managed to turn it into a popular accommodation venue, with three types of accommodation to suit all budgets and both drive-in and fly-in access.

•

The NSW Tourism Awards celebrate tourism businesses that have had success over the past year.

It’s Facebook page can be found here: https://www. facebook.com/NSWTourismAwards

The awards are celebrated annually, with finalists announced last month.

However, the couple received positive feedback from fellow providers on the night.

“We enter the NSW Tourism Awards to highlight the very diverse but fantastic tourism experiences on offer in far western NSW,” Naomi said.

“We were honoured to be announced finalists as it is recognition of our contribution to the local economy by our peers.

Fare assist prgram Medicare local The Fare Assist program commenced as a pilot program in March 2013 and ran until 30 June 2013. Feedback was really positive so the program has been extended until 30 June 2014 when further feedback will be assessed and the budget will be reviewed.

The after-hours period is from 6pm till 8am Monday to Friday, from 12 noon on Saturdays through until 8am Monday Morning and 24 hours on public holidays.

Broken Hill has three general practices that provide after-hours consultations as well as the local hospital that provides 24 hour medical service from the emergency department.

Patients who become sick in the after hours period and need to travel to an after-hours medical service simply state when calling the taxi they wish to use Fare Assist.

The taxi drivers are also promoting the program by advising patients who are unaware of the service, and who may be travelling to an after-hours facility within the designated time, they can charge the fare to Fare Assist.

Patients are also able to make a pharmacy stop on their return journey to pick up prescriptions but only if the doctor stipulates. Staff at the health facility are required to book the patient’s return journey.

What were the results/outcomes of the Fare Assist Trial?

The trial operated from early March until 30th June 2013. During this period 295 people utilised the program to attend after hour’s medical services and the return journey home. Since the program’s inception approximately 450 people have used the service.

What are the future plans for the Fare Assist Program?

The program is operating until 30 June 2014 when it will be re-evaluated. We hope to keep the program running for as long as it is needed.

Are there any highlights/stories/experiences from the program?

It is pleasing to see that there has been very little misuse of the program. All feedback from consumers who have used the program has been positive with all indicating they would use the service again.

One of the nice stories I have heard is of a taxi driver who took a patient from the hospital to the person’s home, assisted them inside, and returned the wheelchair to the hospital. This goes way above and beyond the program requirements but it is nice to see chivalry does exist and this taxi driver displayed care and compassion for a person in a situation less fortunate that him.

MAARI MA keeping well team maari ma HEALTH ABORIGINAL CORPORATION Maari Ma’s Keeping Well team is responsible for delivering services to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have a diagnosed cardio vascular disease and / or diabetes.

The team is currently managing around 140 clients who have signed up to a number of programs and plans as part of their chronic disease cycle of care.

These include the Indigenous Health Incentive and Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme Co-Payment Measure Program (CTG/IPIP), a current Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Assessment (ATSI), a current General Practitioner Management Plan (GPMP), a Home Medication Review (HMR) if indicated and a Team Care Arrangement (TCA).

What is the Chronic Disease Cycle of Care?

The Chronic Disease Cycle of Care illustrates: 1. The client journey during a 12 month period, and 2. The health care provided at set intervals to support the client’s management of their chronic disease.

The annual cycle usually starts with the client’s CTG/IPIP registration and the ATSI health assessment which the team aims to complete at the same visit.

34

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

What are ATSI Health Checks, GPMPs and TCAs? An ATSI health check is an annual check up that all Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people have once a year to gauge their health status.

This helps to track the health of a client and assists with early identification of a chronic disease should the client develop one. Early identification is very important in controlling and managing chronic diseases to prevent complications.

A GPMP is an individualised management plan the client and the GP develop together to manage the client’s chronic disease.

This includes referrals to relevant specialists to assist in the management of the client’s chronic disease and recommendations to the Keeping Well team.

A TCA is where more then one referral is made for the client to other allied health practitioners. These may include the diabetes educator, podiatrist, dentist, dietitian, optometrist, primary mental health and alcohol and other drug workers, and workers in Maari Ma’s Smokers Program to name but a few.

What follow-up services does the Keeping Well team provide after the ATSI health assessment, GPMP & TCA? Under the Chronic Disease Cycle of Care all recommendations in the client’s ATSI health assessment,GPMP & TCA are followed up.

To do this follow-up work, Keeping Well team members refer to and action the GPs recommendations outlined in the client’s completed health assessment and management plans.

For example, the team members undertake the administrative work required to book clients into the various services they need to access throughout the year, such as those listed previously.

In summary, the Keeping Well team members help the client to track where they are regarding their cycle of care, advocate for the client when needed, work as a support person for the client, educate the client in regards to their chronic disease, arrange appointments, maintain regular contact with the client, assist with the management of medications, conduct regular home visits, transport clients when needed, ensure the clients are signed up for the appropriate programs to enable them to get the best care available, conduct clinical measurements in the home, collect pathology in the community, and encourage community members to attend the Primary Health Care Service for regular check ups.

The Keeping Well team helps people with chronic diseases to keep well.

They also assist the GP to complete further investigations including home visits to check blood pressure readings, blood glucose levels and the collection of pathology.

In addition, the Keeping Well team ensures the delivery of Webster packs to the elderly as well as to clients without private transport or to those who they need to see regularly for various medical reasons.

For more information on the Maari Ma Keeping Well program and all other programs, please ring 80829777.

TRAINING IS AN ENJOYABLE AND REWARDING PROCESS FOR BOTH YOU AND YOUR DOG. THIS IS JASPER PERFORMING “STINKY”.

JASPER HAS A RAWHIDE BONE THAT HE IS HOLDING ON TO.

36

FORREALMAGAZINE.COM.AU

USING HIGH REWARD TREATS, JASPER IS MORE THAN HAPPY TO “TA” AND LET GO OF HIS BONE.

TEACHING DOWN AND GIVE DOG TRAINING TIPS & TRICKS Training tip: Down Previously we taught you how to teach a sit using a lure (a treat) to stop your dog from jumping up on you. Once you have mastered the ‘sit’ with your dog reliably in a variety of contexts then you are ready to teach a ‘down.’

First ask your dog to sit. Give a reward. Take another treat and put it close to your dog’s nose and lure them downwards slowly so they follow the treat with their nose.

Then lure the treat forwards along the ground so they follow with their nose and lower their front paws down into a laying ‘down’ position.

Give the reward and say ‘down.’ Repeat about 3 times and then do this a few times a day. If looking at the dog from the side, you are luring the dog in a capital ‘L’ shape (straight down, then out forwards). If your dog’s bottom goes up rather than your dog lying down, it means you have moved the hand with the treat in too fast, try luring your dog a bit slower.

Remember to keep sessions short and always end on a good note, ask your dog to sit, reward them and then say ‘all done’ and show your dog you have no more treats.

You may need to lure your dog downwards from a sit and back a bit before luring them forwards, sort or a ‘C’ that turns into an ‘L.’ See the photos for the steps.

Training tip: ‘Ta’ No one wants a dog that steals items and then runs away with them, or worse, guards the item and is prepared to bite you before they will give them to you. Prevention is better than trying to fix this, and it is so easy to train.

First you will need your dog to be interested and chewing on something yummy. I suggest a chew (like a pigs ear or toy designed for chewing – because remember, chewing is important for dogs – it relieves stress, separation anxiety and boredom).

BY Jenni Baker

doing this a few times then you can proceed to the next step, picking up the item.

Step 3: Present the chicken, while your dog eats the chicken from your hand, pick up the item that they were chewing and say ‘ta’ or ‘give’, when your dog stops eating the chicken, give the item you picked up back to the dog.

It is absolutely vital that you return the item to the dog that they were first interested in. If you were sitting down, enjoying a nice beer, and someone came over and gave you some chocolate but also took your beer away and never returned it, you might think twice about allowing them to take the beer away next time even if they gave you the chocolate. Same goes for dogs. We must return the original item if they are to trust us.

If your dog ever gets hold of something that you cannot return because it would be dangerous, then you need to ‘jackpot’ them by giving them lots of yummy treats after removing the item.

The best way to make sure that this doesn’t happen more than 1% of the time is to practise ‘Ta’ any time your dog is interested in something to chew on. If it is a pair of socks, return the item but then immediately distract the dog with a toy and let them forget about the item rather than you removing it from them like you would if it were something poisonous.

If you train ‘Ta’ often enough (and never chase your dog for an item) then you should have a dog that will give you ANYTHING. Yes, anything. Our boy Jasper will drop a steak out of his mouth if we say ‘Ta’ because he trusts that we will return the item to him. This comes in handy when we are playing ball, he will always drop the ball for us to throw because all we have to do is say ‘ta.’

Refer to the bottom two photos for a breif demonstration of “ta”.

Step 1: While your dog is chewing on the item, approach side on (always approach a dog side on, when you walk front ways forward to a dog, it can be perceived as a direct threat and could land you in some trouble).

Take out some yummy chicken and present it to your dog.

Your dog will hopefully drop what they are chewing and eat the yummy chicken. Repeat this step a few times.

Logan Crimp, Andrew Donnelly, Harrison Petkovich and Whitney Smith

YOUNG LOCAL SPORTING TALENT NPIRE BASKETBALL PROGRAM Young talented Basketball locals, Logan Crimp, Andrew Donnelly, Harrison Petkovich and Whitney Smith were selected to participate in the NPIRE Basketball Program.

The program is a fantastic opportunity for these local kids to travel to the USA to compete against the top USA teams at their level of performance and to experience a different culture. However the opportunity does not come lightly, there is a huge amount of commitment from the players, coachers and the parents.

To be selected for this opportunity the young players performance is monitored by the Development Network for State Performers (DNSP) group. Once spotted as having the potential to perform they then invited into the Talent Identification Program. These 4 Broken Hill youths were obviously talented as they were chosen to play in the SA Country Basketball State Squad Team, which makes them one of the top 34 players in SA Country Basketball.

Every two years the opportunity arises for talented Basketball players at this level to apply to be a part of the NPIRE Basketball Program and these young locals were selected.

While overseas they participated in approximately 20 games over 10 days, however despite the size difference of the teams both Australian teams managed a couple of wins, it would seem that what our local kids lack in high they certainly make up for in skills.

Apparently the American’s love the Australian accent and this was obvious when they arrived as they were greeted with screams and excitement over their Aussie accents.

Some North Texas teenagers played host to our Australian players over a couple of days and from the feedback of the players, some life long friendships have been made.

While in the USA the young players itinerary was not only packed with playing Basketball, their trip also consisted of shopping, a trip to Disney Land, a trip to Universal Studio’s (I’m told the rides at Universal Studios were awesome) and seeing the sights of LA. This unique opportunity has helped to not only develop their basketball skills but has provided a ‘life’ experience that will impact decisions and actions in their future basketball careers.
