UNLOCKING NSW’S MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR BACKYARD

A major new strategy to boost rural and regional economies and capitalise on the fast growing popularity of nature-based tourism will be developed by the NSW Government. The NSW Government will develop a Nature-based Tourism Strategy by December 2018 and has reserved $28 million of the Regional Growth Environment Tourism Fund for nature-based environment and tourism infrastructure projects. Minister for Tourism and Major Events Adam Marshall said the initiatives were a key plank of the NSW Government’s strategy to attract additional visitors to the State, and then encourage greater dispersal into rural and regional areas. “From scuba diving to bushwalking, nature-based tourism is exploding in popularity all over the world, but there’s much untapped potential with our high-yield international tourists,” Mr Marshall said. “We know that an increasing number of international tourists from places like China, India and Germany are looking for a unique and scenic experience away from the crowed skylines of Shanghai, Mumbai and Berlin. “What better place to find that than our State’s world class natural icons – from the Back O’ Bourke to the beaches of Byron Bay. “Last year, tourists to our great outdoors stayed around 130 million nights and spent $19 billion in NSW. It’s big business for the state, and everyone reaps the benefits. “It’s about filling our hotels, motels, cafes, restaurants and businesses, and it’s about boosting our local economies and ensuring our towns continue to thrive. “This strategy will identify NSW’s competitive advantage, so that when international tourists visit down under, they’re flying into Sydney and out into our rural and regional areas.”

Monaro’s Own Wildbrumby Distillery 7

Front And Centre At World Class Event One of Monaro’s finest exports will be on display at the Southern Hemisphere’s largest food industry trade event, Fine Food Australia. Wildbrumby Schnapps Distillery has been selected by the NSW Government to attend the event in Melbourne in September and promote NSW produce to the world. Member for Monaro, John Barilaro said Wildbrumby Schnapps Distillery has been chosen as one of only 12 food and beverage companies from across the state to be showcased on the NSW Government stand. “Selection for the NSW Government stand is a major feather in the cap for Brad Spalding and his team, and it is a great reflection of our outstanding local food and beverage industry,” he said. Wildbrumby founder Brad Spalding brought schnapps distilling from the European alps to the Snowy Mountains and now produces unique Australian schnapps, gin and vodka using local fruits and botanicals and mountain spring water. Mr Barilaro said Fine Food Australia attracts 1,000 plus exhibitors from over 60 countries as well as more than 20,000 visitors and the event will be a unique chance for the 12 companies including Wildbrumby to promote NSW produce to potential domestic and international markets. Mr Spalding said Wildbrumby is delighted to have been chosen to take part in the NSW Government

exhibit at Fine Food Australia. “This is a wonderful opportunity for us to showcase our local spirits made exclusively in the Snowy Mountains region, and boost awareness of the growing importance of the distilling industry to Australia,” Mr Spalding said. “Fine Food Australia also offers unique training and mentoring opportunities for businesses seeking to export their products internationally, and we are looking forward to investigating this training and mentoring further as we prepare for the show.” Minster for Trade and Industry, Niall Blair said the NSW Government’s “Flavours of NSW” stand will feature a stunning showcase of the best food companies from across the state. “NSW has over 50,000 agricultural, aquaculture, fishing and food and beverage processing companies that contribute to a food and agriculture export industry worth more than $7 billion a year,” Mr Blair said. “We’ve focused on getting a diverse and innovative selection of companies on our stand that can showcase both the quality and uniqueness of our industry, so congratulations to Wildbrumby Schnapps Distillery on being among the selected few.” For more information on Fine Food Australia visit: https://www.industry.nsw.gov.au/ finefoodaustralia

The Wildbrumby Distillery has something for all the family, including special activites, like the Easter egg hunt pictured above.

Berridale Inn Berridale Inn (Hotel) was built in 1863 by William Oliver who settled in the Monaro district in 1847. He built, what is now the Berridale Hotel as his house and store. Oliver named the area Berridale after his hometown in Scotland. In 1870 Oliver built a two storey granite store and the original store became the Berridale Inn. The present village of Berridale grew around his store and inn. William Oliver was born April 4, 1817 in Berriedale, County of Caithness, Scotland and died August 18, 1887. He is buried in Gegedzerick Cemetery, Berridale. William and his first wife, Mary Ann Ross had five children. The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage stated in November 2011: “The Berridale Inn has a high degree of heritage significance in the district owing to the age of the building, its association with William Oliver and its important role in the community. A landmark on the main road, it is the solid building around which the commercial heart of the town has Pictured: William Oliver who established the village of Berridale. (Photo courtesy of Monaro Pioneers) developed. Further it follows the Monaro tradition of building in stone.” On May 18, 1959 an earthquake caused widespread but minor damage in the epicentral region around Berridale as far as 40km in the direction of Cooma, and was felt out to a distance of 200km. This earthquake at M5.3 was not much smaller at magnitude of the Newcastle earthquake at M5.6. It caused widespread minor damage as far away as Cooma.* Mr Bob Farmer, the licensee of the Berridale Inn from about 1958 said the tremor had cracked the front wall of the hotel in the lounge room. “The wall was split right across, and up and down. Plaster had fallen all through the hotel. It felt as if a bomb had hit the town.” As far as can be seen, the damage from the earthquake 59 years ago is not visible. Mr Farmer’s daughter Maree McMillan, who lives in Berridale, verified that the earthquake did indeed damage the hotel’s lounge room wall.

The Berridale Inn was also the home of the Commercial Banking Company which conducted a Receiving Office in the Ladies Lounge of the Berridale Inn every Thursday between 10am and 3pm. The CBC opened Berridale as a Receiving Office of Cooma Branch in June 1927 and closed it on 29 August 1940. In June 1950, CBC re-opened Berridale as a Receiving Office of Cooma Branch and NAB closed it on 16 April 1992. It appears the CBC agency was not conducted in Berridale during the Second World War, 1940 to 1950. Former CBC employee, John Hughes said: “I was the agency officer at Cooma from about April 1962 to November 1963. Every Thursday we ran the agency from Peel’s Inn (owned by Lorna Peel) but run by Bob Farmer and his family. I used my own car and returned to the Branch by 3.30pm to process the work. We generally took about 20 deposits and gave change to the pub as well as serving a few locals. “Our main customer was Snowy River Shire Council. Testing my memory out was the lady from the Council called Grace Oliver. I also returned to Cooma branch in March 1972 to April l975 and the Agency was still being conducted every Thursday from I think 2pm to 3pm.” It appears that Miss Oliver ran the shire almost single handed during the war years as many men were off fighting. Another former employee of the CBC, Ken Ryan said: “I worked at the Cooma Branch from March 1963 until June 1969. I went out to the agency once a week to Berridale and Jindabyne. Mrs Lorna Peel owned the Inn and was very good to us bankies. The agency was held at the end of the main bar on the right hand side. Mrs Peel looked after us for lunch every week.” Lorna Peel was the licensee at the Berridale Inn for more than 30 years and became well known on the Monaro. By all accounts she ran a tight ship and did not tolerate any ratbaggery in the hotel. However, one local who enjoyed time at the pub said, “Lorna and her friend Ada would sit behind the bar knitting and on ordering a beer you would have to wait until one of them had finished their row before being served.” Interviewed by Hazel de Berg in 1978 Lorna had this to say: “Well I have always served behind the bar, and I mean I control my hotel. I have never had to call on a policeman to come into my hotel, since I have been here, in going on 30 years. I have been able to police and control my hotel, and that is a positive fact, although I must admit I had to chase a chap down the yard with a carving knife. …. Well now the times have

changed. Of course we have got back to the quiet life of Berridale, with the tourists passing through all the time, and I don’t know that I really say that I was sorry to see those days go, [SMA construction days] and come back to the way we are living today.” These days the Berridale Inn is usually overflowing with patrons. By the time of going to print, new managers, Sarah Haynes (Licensee) and Mathew Ritchie will have been on board for about ten weeks. Mat said they were approached to take over the running of the hotel and as they have a young child they were very keen to leave the city behind and relocate to the country. Sarah and Mathew have some great ideas to improve the hotel. When things settle down Sarah and Mat intend to redecorate the hotel. One important local event which will be continued is the annual two-up game played in front of the hotel every Anzac Day. After the well-attended Berridale Anzac Day March the crowd moves to the hotel to down a schooner or two and participate in the long-standing two-up game. *The 1959 Berridale NSW Earthquake Revisited by Kevin McCue, from CQU at an Australian Earthquake Engineering Society in November 2011.

Technology and safety in the alpine region There are many ways technology can help keep you safe – however, it’s still important to note National Parks and Wildlife Services advice on planning, preparing and watching weather conditions. Rescues in the mountains can be hampered by poor weather and remote locations. Read the following tips for using technology in the alpine region:

Tips • Mobile phones have patchy coverage within the park and cold weather may affect the batteries. • GPS (Global Positioning System) devices use a satellite network to give you your location. You’ll get the most benefit by combining them with topographic maps and a compass. Cold can also affect these batteries. • Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) are available for loan in Kosciuszko National Park when you register your walk with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. You can pick one up from the Snowy Region Visitor Centre in Jindabyne, between 8.30am-4pm. A refundable deposit is required to loan a PLB. They send a signal via satellite to the emergency centre in Canberra but keep in mind that helicopters can only fly if the weather in the mountains permits. • The analogue EPIRB network has shut down.

Zero tolerance for bad manners AHA NSW Director of Liquor and Policing John Green was in Jindabyne recently for the annual ‘snow briefing’ which focuses on the key issues for local hoteliers to be aware of during the busy snow season. Mr Green attended the snow briefing at the Jindabyne Bowling Club along with local police and hoteliers, before moving on to a local AHA NSW SubBranch meeting at the Banjo Paterson Inn. He said the latest Bureau of Crime Statistic and Research (BOCSAR) figures show assault rates in and around licensed venues in the Snowy Mountains Sub-Branch area are down a massive 77 percent over the last decade. “I was here about a year ago and said assaults on or near licensed premises in the area were at the lowest levels since the 1980s and I am pleased to say that hasn’t changed,” he said. “A drop in assault rates of 77 percent is an amazing result and shows what can be achieved when hoteliers,

police and the community all work together.” Mr Green said hoteliers were well prepared for the annual ski season influx of visitors to the Snowy Mountains. “Obviously, there is a large influx of skiers and holiday-makers which occurs each season whether for a weekend, or a week or longer,” he said. “These visitors to the snowfields need to be mindful that should they misbehave, become aggressive or intoxicated in venues then they will be refused entry or asked to leave, and if they don’t comply police will be called. “Illicit drug activity is also something hoteliers will be mindful of – the vast majority of all drug offences in the Snowy occur during the snow season. “Hotels across the snowfields obviously have a zero tolerance for illicit drugs as well as any form of anti-social behaviour.”

Thredbo Museum

Launches 2018 Exhibition Thredbo Museum launched their 2018 Winter exhibition on Saturday 16 June, with a talk by guest speaker Ron Finneran OAM, founder and retired CEO of Disabled Wintersport Australia, and a film about Ron narrated by Adrienne Smith OAM. A delicious supper spread provided by The Denman Hotel and drinks were the last agenda items for the night, and enjoyed by many of Thredbo’s legends who attended the celebration. Ron first fell in love with Thredbo in 1973 whilst on a vacation with skiing friends. The challenge of skiing with limited leg functionality, resulting from childhood polio, was yet to be resolved. Ron was determined to participate rather than “sit on a rock and watchâ€?. After an exhausting week of trying, Ron was encouraged by Thredbo Ski Patroller Tommy Tomasi to consider outrigger skis, which were commonly used by disabled skiers in Europe. A quick sketch was sent to the Crippled Children’s Society workshop, which resulted in a prototype rudimentary ski aid. With his legs bound together, one boot mounted on a single ski and using the outrigger skis, Ron made tracks‌ but fell continuously. He also sought the assistance of Kim Clifford, former Thredbo Resort Manager, to develop the first Sit-ski from a plastic Coca-Cola chair. Ski School Director Arnold Konrad spent many

afternoons after ski school, helping Ron to improve his technique, and along with most of the ski school, adopted Ron as his training project for that season. Ron travelled to Canada later in 1974, where due to better equipment and dedicated disabled instructors, his skiing improved dramatically. On his return to Thredbo, Ron worked in the Thredbo accounts department and skied at every opportunity. Ron’s role at NSW Sport & Recreation in 1975, to develop a disabled sports programme was brief, resigning when he disagreed with the Director’s strategy. In early 1976, Ron arrived in Sweden for the first Winter Paralympic Games, as the only member of the Australian team, and was celebrated and adopted by the hospitable town of ÖrnskÜldsvik. Ron was disqualified as a competitor as he was neither

an amputee nor blind. He then studied for two years to earn a Sports Administration degree, and took on the challenge of addressing the technical issues he faced. He became a forerunner for disabled skiers in his category, and set up a Disabled Alpine Skiing Programme. His apprenticeship involved organising a disabled ski competition and a teaching manual. By 1978 when he returned to Australia, Ron had mustered all the elements to set up the forerunner of Disabled Wintersports Australia. He was asked by Arnold Konrad to coordinate NASTAR recreational races in Thredbo, whilst also working with Canadian Bruce Abel to develop a skiing programme for disabled skiers. In a corner of the old Piano Bar at the Thredbo Alpine Hotel, in September 1978, Ron met with Arnold Konrad, Nick Dean, Rod Dunning, Maurice Flutey, Graeme Morris, Bruce Abel and the first secretary Maureen Rupcic, to form the Australian Disabled Skiers Federation, which was later rebranded into Disabled Wintersports Australia. Ron’s dedication to the organisation saw the achievement of many DWA milestones. In 1980, a team with an alpine skier below knee amputee Kyrra Grunnsund and Peter Rickards, a blind

cross-county skier competed in the second Winter Paralympic Games in Geilo, Norway. After establishing Thredbo, the DWA was expanded to Perisher, Falls Creek, Mt Hotham, and beyond. DWA is now operating in all ski resorts in Australia. Ron was also instrumental in the establishment of a purpose-built lodge at Jindabyne Sport & Recreation Centre, called Finsko’s. This disabled-friendly accommodation was expanded in 1990 to include more diversity of apartments, giving skiers a base from which to train. This was instrumental in the following successes of athletes like Michael Milton, and the development of the Elite Squad at Perisher. DWA have now opened a new lodge catering for disabled skiers at Howman’s Gap near Falls Creek in Victoria.

Ron acted as Chef de Mission when the Australian team were sent to Geilo (1980), Mutters (1984), Innsbruck (1988), Albertville (1992), and Lillehammer (1994). He also managed Australian World Cup teams, and formed an association between the DWA and the Combined Services Ski Association (Army, Navy and Air Force). Ron elaborated on what the DWA experience means to disabled skiers. “It affords a person with a disability the opportunity to ski all over the mountain, and in particular, from the top of Crackenback down to the Village. From those positive achievements, they return home with a ‘can do’ attitude that continues into their daily life. DWA has been providing this opportunity to develop confidence and self-esteem and I hope it continues to ‘kick those goals’”.

Ron paid tribute to Adrienne Smith OAM, former CEO of the Australian Ski Federation, Executive Director of the Australian Paralympic Committee and Australian Bi Centennial Authority and President of Disabled WinterSport Australia. “Adrienne was a lady without peer with an enthusiasm and determination to ensure the ski industry evolved on sensible pathways and that skiing for people with disabilities would be recognised. This was her raison d’etre.” Ron is eternally grateful for the support his wife Lisa has given throughout the 30 plus years, as well as raising our children Timothy and Carina. Her contribution to Disabled WinterSport Australia cannot be overstated. Ron is still involved with DWA, but at arm’s length whilst enjoying his retirement on the NSW South Coast. He believes that it is the recreational and development side of Snowsports that allows increasing numbers of people with disabilities to become involved. The collaboration between accommodation at Finsko’s Lodge in Jindabyne, the relationship with Ski Patrollers, the lift companies, and Ski Schools, makes an all-encompassing skiing experience for people with disabilities. “This was my end goal, to give the individual disabled person the opportunity to enjoy the natural environment in the Snowy Mountains, and to enjoy it with their fellow skiers. That is the true crux of skiing,” said Ron. “Thredbo and I have had a love relationship since 1973. My successes were achieved by standing on the shoulders of Thredbo giants.” Ron Finneran retired as CEO of Disabled WinterSport Australia in 2010. Ron’s honours include: Australia Sports Medal; Confederation of Australian Sport – Fellow; Australian Paralympic Medal; Order of Australia Medal; - Sport Australia Hall of Fame – General Member; and Disabled WinterSport AustraliaLife Member.

His love for the mountains, snow and bush began at an early age, when travelling to Kiandra with his family in a two cylinder Bradford. “Those early years skiing and bushwalking instilled a deep connection with the Australian Alps,� Mike said. “I was drawn back into the mountains time and again to explore this unique area and my camera became a tool with which I could express the unforgettable images I encountered.� What began as a hobby developed into a high-level skill, passion and purpose. Taking and sharing his photographs is a way for Mike to honour his deep connection with nature. He hopes that people will appreciate nature and be inspired to look after our beautiful planet. “For me, the underlying principle is the appreciation and love of the Australian Alps that comes from being a part of them,� Mike said.

30 years OF STUNNING alpine photography

Australian landscape photographer and guide, Mike Edmondson, has been specialising in alpine photography for over 30 years. “Feeling love and a connection for each other and the environment is the first step to finding peace, happiness and compassion in a world plagued by conflict and environmental degradation.” Mike’s photographs have won a host of awards throughout the years. Most recently, his photo “Mt Geryon” was selected from over 250 entries as a contender for the 2014 IceInSpace Astronomy Calendar. He has received multiple first and highly commended prizes in the Jindabyne Art Show and he won International Year of the Mountains Photography Award for “Kosciuszko Sunset” in 2003. From 1981-2005, Mike owned and managed the Paddy Pallin Outdoor Adventure shop in Jindabyne. From there, he started guiding groups into the backcountry of Kosciuszko and used his photography skills to market the business. He opened the first photographic gallery in Jindabyne, which showcased the best of his alpine photography. In winter, Mike can be found up in the mountains with his camera, or taking small groups around Kosciuszko National Park on snowshoes and skis. In summer, he travels on foot and hosts bushwalking tours through the mountains always with his camera in tow. On overnight trips, Mike packs no less than three cameras, plus equipment, camping gear, clothing and food. “I often find myself skiing to set up my tent in the dark with my head torch lighting the way, with muesli, fruit and water waiting for dinner because there had been no room left to pack my stove!” Camping out enables Mike to be in spectacular places at the right times, such as a remote ridge top on sunset or sunrise. “I am often up around 4.30am to be on top of a ridge at sunrise. It can be very challenging to keep one’s fingers warm adjusting cameras and tripods at this time of day, but my effort is more

than rewarded by the occasional moment when light and mist work their magic on the landscape.” Not every overnight trip ends this way, and Mike recalls being woken by a storm while camping on the Ramsheads which forced him to ski out to safety in gale force winds. “Sometimes I have watched and waited for hours in the cold only to abandon camp and ski out in a white-out under the guidance of only a map and compass. “Such is the life of a photographer, but there are many, many wonderful times to remember and capture that outweigh these challenging times.” Mike has books and cards on display at local

visitor centres, art galleries and the Jindabyne Newsagency. He offers a range of tours in partnership with K7 Adventures (www. k7adventures.com), including Historic Huts, Snow Camping and Survival Skills, the Ten Peaks Walk, Photography Workshops and Kosciuszko Summer Camping.

Is it compulsory to drive with snow chains in Kosciuszko National Park?

NSW Snowy Mountains

Road & Vehicle Regulations for Winter 2018 While Kosciuszko’s mountain roads take you to many spectacular places you do need to take a few precautions and be aware that weather and road conditions can change dramatically in a short space of time.

Yes! If you are driving a 2WD vehicle from the June to October long weekend, it is compulsory to carry properly-fitting snow chains on the following roads: • Kosciuszko Road from the park boundary at Thredbo River • The Alpine Way between Thredbo and Tom Groggin • The Island Bend/Guthega Road for its full length. • The RTA recommends chains may also be required in certain weather conditions on the Alpine Way between Jindabyne and Thredbo and the Snowy Mountains Highway. Make sure you check road conditions before you travel. Snow chains should be fitted as directed by authorised NPWS, RTA and Police officers. Chain inspections take place randomly, with fines exceeding $300 if you do not have chains on the vehicle. While snow chains are not compulsory for 4WD vehicles, it is recommended you carry them during winter months - especially if drivers have little experience driving on alpine roads affected by snow and ice.

ALPINE WAY (beyond Thredbo): Chains must be carried in all two-wheel drive vehicles during the winter season between Thredbo and Tom Groggin. It is recommended but not compulsory that vehicles carry chains between Jindabyne and Thredbo

all two wheel drive vehicles during the winter season.

KOSCIUSZKO ROAD TO PERISHER: Chains must be carried in all two-wheel drive vehicles on the Kosciuszko Road from the park boundary.

KIANDRA TO CABRAMURRA/ MT SELWYN LINK ROAD: It is recommended but not compulsory that vehicles carry chains during the winter season.

KOSCIUSZKO RD PERISHER TO CHARLOTTE PASS: This road will be closed to vehicle access once it becomes impassable due to snow. Access to Charlotte Pass Village is by over snow transport only.

CABRAMURRA TO KHANCOBAN ROAD: This road is closed from the NSW June long weekend to the NSW October long weekend.

GUTHEGA ROAD: Chains must be carried in

SNOWY MTNS HWY: It is recommended but not compulsory that vehicles carry chains between Cooma and Tumut during the winter season.

ELLIOTT WAY: It is recommended but not compulsory that all vehicles carry chains along this road during the winter season.

LOCAL RADIO STATIONS: Cooma: 2XL (918AM) or Snow FM (97.7) Southern Kosciuszko: 2XL (96.3AM) Snow FM (94.7) ABC Bega (95.5FM) Northern Kosciuszko Radio FM (96.3)

MACKS TYREPLUS COOMA PICK OF THE BUNCH… No-Problem Magic (8000) These chains have been very popular for sale. The NoProblem Magic have automatic tensioning (the Magic feature), and their 15mm cross chains provide the best traction, sideways grip and wear resistance, compared to other chains on the market, and have been made for Australian customers only.

Be prepared. Check weather forecasts and road conditions. Updates and information can be obtained from: Cooma Visitors Centre 119 Sharp St Cooma Ph: 02 6455 1742 www.visitcooma.com.au RMS Ph: 132 701

FITTING DIAMOND PATTERN CHAINS WITH SIX SIMPLE STEPS: 1. Purchase or hire the appropriate sized chains. 2. Slide the chains over the tyre 3. Join cable together at the top of the tyre. 4. Hook the front chain together, adjusting the fit as you go. 5. Pass the yellow cable through the ratchet 6. Join the yellow hook and cable together and make sure the chain is tight before driving off

Please note that during inclement weather and when roads are affected by snow, authorities may enforce the use of snow chains on any roads in the region. Roads with compulsory chain requirements are not suitable for motorbikes and caravans during the winter season. Please watch out for wildlife on our roads. You can report injured wildlife to L.A.O.K.O. Phone 6456 1313. This information is enforced by the NSW RMS and Kosciuszko National Park & Wildlife Service

One mountain - Five events $60,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs

Lift off for the 2018 Thredbo Snow Series The 2018 edition of the Thredbo Snow Series is a five stop tour across the season that will see skiers and boarders line-up on some of Australia’s best freestyle set-ups, battling it out on rails, through the rider cross, down the freeride course, on a slopestyle and finishing with big air and with $60,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs it’s set to be a big one. The Snow Series is the perfect platform to take riders to the next level and beyond. Into its second decade the Snow Series has seen some of Australia’s best athletes launch their career with many Olympians and industry big names getting their first taste of competition over the years at this event. Each event will be situated around different areas of the mountain, the new set-ups and Thredbo’s challenging terrain will be the backbone of yet another successful year. It is sure to raise the bar in course design and competitive riding. Each set-up will allow competitors of all levels to participate, with seasoned pros riding alongside comp new comers so it’s a great way to catch the best in action and push up-and-coming riders. Once again for 2018, riders can gain vital points in Slopestyle and Big Air, two Olympic events, for the World Snowboard Tour (TTR) and Association of

Freeskiing Professionals (AFP) tour. The Series kicks off with the Rail Jam on June 29 and runs through the season wrapping up with Big Air on August 31. There are 12 categories in each event open to skiers, boarders, juniors, opens, girls, boys and anyone willing to have a crack. Enter one event or take on the whole series to be crowned the 2018 Thredbo Snow Series champion. You might ride a rail like a champ but bust it big like a chimp, or rip up the Bluff like a king but flap about the Ridercross course; overall riding strengths and participation are the key to win the overall champ. Spectators are welcome to stop by and check out the action from the sidelines as there will be a DJ providing the tunes, fun giveaways and refreshments thanks to Coca Cola at every event.

Formed in 1995, the Thredbo Historical Society aims to collect, preserve and maintain its collection, making it available to the public to encourage community learning, education and awareness of historical values as these relate to Australian skiing and the locality of Thredbo. It is a not-for-profit society, managed and operated by enthusiastic volunteers.

at Thredbo Museum The Thredbo Museum promotes education, research and entertainment through its archives and aims to develop an alpine and snow sports museum of national significance. With one of the largest and most comprehensive collections in the Southern Hemisphere, the Thredbo Museum displays a selection of memorabilia, equipment, photos and documents that embodies Australian snow sports history. Over 4,000 visitors a year discover the historical context of snow sports, and the integration of human stories and economic development in Thredbo and the Australian Snowy Mountains. Located off the Thredbo Village Square below the Kosciuszko Room, entry is free... but a gold coin donation and a comment in the Visitor Book are always appreciated to assist with the running of this volunteer-based community organisation and maintain the collection. To join the Museum and help support their work of preserving the history of Thredbo’s resort, community and snow sports go to their comprehensive website: https://www.thredboskimuseum.com/ membership-payment. Browsing through the galleries, stories and oral histories will take you down Thredbo’s memory lane. Donations of memorabilia and artifacts are also welcome, if space allows. Museum opening hours are listed on the website, along with volunteer rosters, news and events. The Thredbo Historical Society committee have been working hard to present several

Globe Hotel From hosting church services to weathering floods and undergoing countless renovations, the Globe Hotel in Bombala boasts a rich history. Pin pointing its exact beginnings is difficult, but an old copy of the Bombala Times newspaper states that it was established in 1871, while the earliest licence that can be found for the premises is from 1875. It can at least be said that Bombala’s Globe Hotel is well over 140 years old. And of course in 140 years a lot can happen in a country pub, and a lot of proprietors come and go. The building itself started life as a single story structure, and in 1900 was advertised as having “14 rooms, a kitchen, outhouses and commodious stabling accommodation”. All of this was threatened in 1905, when heavy rains saw the premises flooded, the event even making the Goulburn Evening Penny Post at the time – “The heaviest storm ever experienced at Bombala occurred last night between 8 and 9 o’clock, and was accompanied by vivid lightning and hailstones. The river, which ceased running some weeks ago, rose 8 feet. All the footpaths and culverts in the municipality were torn up, and the foot bridges washed into the river. The Globe Hotel was flooded out, the water being nearly a foot deep in the bar.” With the pub located relatively close to the Bombala River, flooding was to be repeated on several occasions, including in the well known local floods of 1936 and 1971. The Globe Hotel building underwent many renovations over the years, some of them unwelcome by certain factions of the community, as was reported in a 1907 Delegate Argus. This article gives us some idea of the importance of the Globe in Bombala in those early years – “Another of the old Bombala landmarks is fast disappearing. I refer to the Globe Hotel, for many years conducted by the genial ‘Johnny’ Mudie, now of

The Globe as it was in 1947.

The Globe started out as a single story building, and has been newly renovated in this photo. Delegate, and in recent years by Mr. P. Tracey. During the 40 odd years since its erection it has passed through many hands, at one time being used as a private dwelling house, and on Sundays before the present Church of England was built, divine service was regularly conducted there. Since its occupation as a business place, it has been a popular house and a ‘regular mint of money’ has passed through the hands of its various occupants.” A later article in the Bombala Times also looks back on the Globe’s earliest years, with a regular column being written by the proprietor, Richard ‘Dick’ Haslett in 1921 – “If bricks could only speak, what a tale the old “Globe” would have to tell. It is well over 50 years since the old house first saw the light, and what sights it has seen in its time. When there was no church in Bombala it saw Parson Ford wetting baby’s heads in Dick’s loungeroom after a forty mile drive by bullock dray from Cooma. It saw the rush to Little Plains diggings; it saw two of Monaro’s best fighting out 25 rounds under the pear tree in Dick’s backyard; it saw the pick of Monaro’s manhood starting off for the world wide war; and last but not least, it saw Dick come.” And if they thought the Globe had an incredible history then, imagine what they would think now, almost 100 years on. Being centrally located, the pub has hosted some historic functions over the years, and welcomed important guests, from politicians to nationally acclaimed sports players. One of the most significant being way back in 1900 when the Commissioner appointed to report on the suggested sites for the Federal Capital stayed at the Globe. Headlines at the time widely read “Mr Oliver Personally Favors Bombala” following that stay. While the building was renovated continuously, and important additions such as an ice chest and even the electric light are all recorded, it wasn’t until the late 1920s or early 1930s that the Globe became the double story building that we see in the main street of Bombala today. A rising demand for accommodation was seen as the main reason behind the expansion. And the renovations didn’t stop there. The current owner has taken the building through an incredible transformation that has included the installation of huge double glazed glass doors and windows, the reconfiguration of the main bar, and a large dining and outdoor area. There’s a popular pool table, an arcade machine that features old classics like Donkey Kong and Frogger, and

The Globe Hotel today. along with a comfortable lounge by the fireplace, there’s a large grassy area for the kids to enjoy year round. If you’re looking for accommodation, the hotel today boasts 15 rooms that are moderately priced, and along with taking large group bookings, the proprietors also welcome campers and their pets where possible. The bar is now serving Hahn 3.5% on tap, and claims it has “the best beer in town”, while there’s a fresh menu on the way in the restaurant. “The Globe Hotel is just the place to be,” says the current proprietors. “Where the beer is cold, the staff are friendly, the food is great and you’re where want to be!” With Happy Hour everyday from 5 to 6pm, they make a good argument. And should you be really enamoured of Bombala’s Globe Hotel, the lease is currently listed for sale. (Images courtesy of Dave Goodyer)

Bakery makeover The iconic Nimmitabel Bakery has been jazzed up with some attractive new counters and beautiful artworks. Doing the work themselves, with the help of local builder Cliff Richards (not the singer), Will and Caroline Jardine love the new look for their bakery. Going for an inviting modern country kitchen feel, the new cabinets and shelves have brightened up the space, modernised it and allowed for a more open plan entrance. On display are the stunning wildlife photographs taken by Charles Davis, a local superstar when it

comes to photography. The bakery also has a new and improved cake fridge to display the delicious cakes and tarts made daily in store, including plenty of delicious gluten free options. The new counters are stocked with tasty treats from the bakery itself, such as handy bags of scrumptious cookies and fresh loaves of bread. There are also some great products available from Alpine Berry Farm. Gorgeous jams and marmalades make the perfect gift for loved ones, or just a special treat for you.

21

Of course, the elephant is still outside in the scenic courtyard complete with a playground, making it the perfect stop off to grab yourself a coffee and freshly made warm pie while the kids burn off some energy. Local tip: the steak, bacon and cheese and the steak and mushroom pies are the most popular. If the sun is hiding, there is a wood fire heater in the bakery, perfect for snuggling up with your coffee and cake. The Nimmitabel Bakery is open 7am to 5pm every day.

Mmm... The best spots for a bite to eat in Cooma

The 2018 Redlands Cup will be held at Thredbo on Monday July 16 Easily the largest single day event in Australia, the Redlands Cup brings together more than 600 competitors from 50 schools across New South Wales and the ACT to the challenging runs of Thredbo. The Redlands Cup serves as a lead-in event to the Sydney Division Interschools and prepares school skiers and snowboarders for the race season. This ultimately helps competitors improve their times for upcoming State and Nationals events. The Redlands Cup is an open event, giving even the kindergarten children a chance to compete and sharpen their skills early, turning them into the top skiers of tomorrow. “Because the Redlands Cup is a challenging event, it’s the best event to prepare student athletes for the challenges of the Interschools� said Redlands MIC of Snowsports, Bruce Campbell. “Let’s face it; Thredbo is not an easy mountain to conquer.�

“The Redlands Cup is very professionally managed, run by the prestigious Thredbo Race Club and the expertise of the Thredbo Snowsports Race Department with strong support from Redlands parents group, the Friends of SnowSports,� Mr Campbell said. The Redlands Cup concludes with a prize-giving ceremony with awards including Fastest Boy and Fastest Girl, as well as the individual team awards for each age division. Awards have been presented by Olympian and former Redlander Nick Fisher. Other top Australian competitors like Zali Steggel and Jono Brauer as well as past Redlands Champions have been presenters and forerunners for the event. The Redlands Cup is proud to have held the races for 21 uninterrupted years on the testing Thredbo courses. Usually there are three courses which are generally set according to age group: the teenagers get tested a little more than the prep schoolers. A few Olympians and

quiet a few World Cup athletes have competed in the Redlands Cup. Jarryd Hughes, Lavinia Crystal, Samantha Kennedy, Luke Kneller, Adam Lambert and Josh Miller have gone on to race Alpine and Snowboard at the World Cup level. On the day of The Redlands Cup, the Redlands Marquee is located at the base of the Snowgums and Kosciuszko chairs in Thredbo. Generally all races will be conducted on this side of the mountain on the Rossignol and World Cup race courses. Access to the course is easy via the Snowgums Chair Lift. Course inspections will be at 8.15am and race starting time is 9.00am sharp. Presentations will be in the Thredbo Leisure Centre (AIS) at 4.30 pm. Return race bib at presentations to receive a free Mosman Audi back pack.

The mountains aren’t just about skiing and snowboarding our snow resorts have heaps of family-friendly activities to keep you busy. \Why not explore the mountain on foot? Snowshoeing is a fantastic way to discover the beauty of the Snowy Mountains. Thredbo, Charlotte Pass and Perisher offer snow shoe guided tours - make sure you take your camera, as the views are amazing. Go behind the scenes and take a groomer tour at Perisher of Charlotte Pass. Once the lifts close for the day, you can see the mountain in a whole new light, behind the wheel of grooming machine. Don’t miss the Thredbo Kids Snow Festival from 2 - 21 July. A mountain of terrain to explore, a huge lineup of free activities and plenty of après for Mum and Dad. There’s movie and pizza nights, special kids flare fun, night skiing, plus loads of activities on and off the mountain. Charlotte Pass offer Frosty’s Chill Out Zone for children three to 13 years, with kids activities, games, arts and crafts all supervised by friendly staff. Know your littlies are in safe hands while you zip off for a ski, board, or some leisure time. For an off-snow break, check out the Thredbo Leisure Centre, where you’ll find a heated pool, waterslide, inflatable obstacle course, trampoline sessions, squash court, bouldering wall and more. Why not try out disc golf at Thredbo - perfect for the whole family. Selwyn encourages snow play throughout their resort (as long as it’s not obstructing traffic). Build a snowman, have a snowball fight, get creative! Each week at Charlotte Pass, watch skiers light up the slopes on the flare run. Join in, or sit back and enjoy the show. Thredbo is home to a 700m bobsled track, which twists and turns its way down the mountain whilst you control the speed. Kids over nine years can ride on their own, whilst those under nine can double up with an adult. Perisher, Thredbo and Charlotte Pass offer scenic chairlift rides, so you can take in the beauty of the mountains from a height - without the worry of skiing back down!

Toboggan lovers may have heard the news that, for safety reasons, Thredbo is no longer allowing tobogganing, but there plenty of other options out there. Selwyn Snow Resort has a special toboggan slope, which is the perfect place to set up for the day. The resort can supply you with a toboggan, or you can bring your own if it meets NPWS regulations (hard moulded plastic). Selwyn also offer snow tubing at Snowflake Tube Park, which is a unique alternative to tobogganing - and faster! Toboggans are prohibited on all Perisher ski slopes and should only be undertaken at the designated toboggan slope located beside Perisher Valley Car Park on Pipers Ridge. Charlotte Pass Snow Resort does not allow tobogganing.

Let’s go to the markets... Strolling through market stalls is one of the best holiday past times. All held on weekends, it’s a great time to get away from the busy resorts and give yourself, and more importantly your legs, a day off from the slopes. Just picture it, you’ve had a nice sleep in, gone out for a delicious breakfast and now, warm coffee in hand you’re wandering through a park checking out the quirky home made wares. There’s scented candles, knitted beanies, yummy jams, antique furniture, freshly baked breads and all sorts of goodies to take home. Here are all the markets across the region this winter, pop down for a squiz.

with real free range eggs, and home made jams and chutneys just to name a few. Come into town and check them out.

Holbrook

On the fourth Saturday of the month, the Holbrook Markets by the Sub gives local vendors and farmers a place to come together and showcase their goods. A family friendly market set in the parklands near the B11 Submarine. The markets are a great way to spend a lazy Saturday, so go for a drive out to the quaint little town of Holbrook. We hear the bakery there is great too.

Cooma

On the first Saturday of the month, the Maker’s Market is held at the Wildbrumby Schnapps Distillery on the Alpine Way from 10am to 2pm. It is a local producers market with lots of fresh fruits and veggies grown in the region. The market is also a celebration of locally made art, craft and food, bringing together artisans from knitters, weavers, welders and carvers to potters, painters and bakers from our local area. It is also the perfect excuse to come to the distillery where you can warm up with delicious schnapps or a Toby’s Estate coffee.

On the third Sunday of the month, the Cooma Rotary Markets are held at Centennial Park from 8.30am to 1.30pm. The smell of coffee and a good old sausage sizzle fills the air as you wonder through the stalls of cupcakes, homewares, local honey, fresh bread, knick knacks and antiques. There’s even a jumping castle for the kids, as well as the park’s play equipment, so there’s plenty of entertainment for the whole family. Make a day of it and visit Cooma’s many welcoming cafes and shops. And why not pop into the Snowy Hydro Discovery Centre to show the kids what the Snowy Scheme is all about.

Adelong

Bredbo

Wildbrumby

Also on the first Saturday of the month, Adelong hosts their monthly markets. Held at the Adelonia Theatre from 9am, there is plenty to enjoy, including local produce, food, craft, coffee and more.

Jindabyne

On the third Saturday of the month, the Local Produce Markets are held at the Jindabyne Visitor Centre from 9am to 1pm. If you need to stock up on some groceries, the Local Produce Markets are the ones for you. There are fresh, locally grown fruit and veggies galore, along

Local Produce and Handmade Markets. Held at the fun and quirky Nest Cinema Café and Books, these markets are a Tumbarumba swap meet for local fresh produce, hand crafted wares, local and guest artisans and growers. It is the ideal place to find rare treasures, garden goodies and limited-edition gifts.

Tumut

Held on Saturday August 18 is the Tumut Lions Market Day held at the railway. With a great selection of home made things, there is plenty to choose from at these markets, and a great chance to get some Christmas shopping done extra early. Regulars at these markets include plant stalls, kids clothing, freshly baked cakes, jams, crafts, jewellery and pet products. There really is something for everyone.

On the fourth Sunday of each month are the Bredbo CWA Village Markets at the community hall from 9am to 3pm. No one cooks better than CWA ladies, and you’ll get to see that first hand at these markets. It is a great way for the branch to raise much needed funds that go back into the local community, so show the CWA some support by stopping in on your way through.

Thanks Norman! The Snowy Mountains Skifields were very happy to welcome ‘StoRmin’ norman’ to the region in mid-june. Although a few days late for the season opening, the storm delivered more than 80cm of snow across the mountains to ensure great conditions, the best since 2000, for the early season. snow has continued to fall, with the resorts open and pumping! image courtesy of thredbo media.

for the Interschools Championships

7 Tips

34

The Interschools Championships are on again this winter with the Regional NSW, QLD and ACT Championships completed over three weeks in July at Perisher and Thredbo with over 3,300 students from 390 schools competing, in which for many, it will be their first snow sports competition. Whether you are competing for the first time, or are becoming an old hand at Interschools competition, here are some tips for competitors and parents who will be taking part: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. -

Have fun! Enjoy the event, help everyone else enjoy the event too… Interschools is important, but is not the World Cup. Keep things in perspective. Be a good sport. Most of the people there are volunteers. Be grateful and say thanks, especially if you didn’t volunteer this year. Parents: the most important things you can do One kid will be fastest, probably not yours. Praise effort and participation, rather than winning or losing. Define success with your kid, achievable with effort: finish without falling, beat a mate, have fun, medal if capable. Rather than shouting words like ‘fast as you can’, help them prepare (#5) with calm, positive encouragement.

7. -

b. If you are obstructed or think you need a re-run Stop! Report to nearest gate judge then finish referee. Do NOT finish: if you finish, you will not get a re-run. c. Falling and finishing The best racers fall too. Get back up and keep going. Your team needs your finish time to get a result If there is a problem Take time to cool off if you’re mad, before talking to anyone. Tantrums lose respect and look stupid (yes, we see you) Ask your team manager to talk respectfully to the appropriate official. Respect their decision.

Competitors: Perform a thorough course inspection Think about how you’ll approach your run. Look for and remember tricky gates and key features. Know your start time. Leave time to inspect, get through queues, to the start, to calmly warm up. Prepare before your run: before you’re called in line, stop idle chat and find some space Check your equipment. Stretch. Warm up. Breathe. Do what helps you calmly focus, not what makes you stressed. Run through the course in your mind, rehearse key sections, think positive: mindset matters. If you are late, don’t panic: don’t rush, take time for these steps, and ask politely when you can start. If you want to finish first, you first have to finish. Stay upright. Stay in control Cars can’t go full speed around tight corners: neither can you. Stay in control. Choose your race line and speed to suit the conditions: ruts form, snow builds up. Look ahead. Stay in control. Problems on the course a. If you think you missed a gate BOTH feet must pass between each gate and the side of the course (the ‘Gate Line’) one or more times If you walk back to a gate, you need only pass the ‘gate line’ (don’t need to go right around the gate) You may ask the gate judge if you have correctly passed the gate

The winter season is upon us and Marine Rescue Alpine Lakes would like to inform lake users of some safety practises. Although the lakes in our area are different to being in the sea, survival in both Jindabyne and Eucumbene lakes comes with it’s unique set of perils. During the winter your survival rate is limited to less than 30 minutes and without life jackets that could drop to minutes. If you were to fall into the water it is essential that you become aware of some helpful tips that could allow you to survive until help arrives. Do not think you will be able to tread water or swim to shore, the cramps will get you first. We do not have sharks, just uncontrollable cramps. If for any reason you end up in the cold water, survival becomes a major problem. However assuming a posture to reduce heat loss while in the water can be life saving. This is called the HELP position with all persons huddling together with knees up protecting your groin and by keeping your armpits as close as possible to your side. This position helps to retain as much body heat as possible. It is important that someone knows where you are and when you are due to return. You should wear suitable clothing including a life jacket with a flashing light attached and carrying a suitable waterproof mobile phone in your jacket pocket. All vessels should carry EPIRBS whilst on the lake and the boat should carry a waterproof grab bag holding

flares, extra batteries, food, water and a first aid kit. They can all save your life whether in the boat or in the water. Recently a few Alpine Lakes unit members were able to spend a few hours with the ACT Water Police Diving Team led by Senior Constable Robert Young while they were training in the cold water using a wide variety of diving equipment. He explained that the lake had low to zero visibility. Searches are normally done using line signal-controlled search techniques from the vehicle whilst a variety of equipment is used, but in many dives the team uses scuba. The Police Diving Team fundamentally is involved in the search and recovery of bodies and objects if a crime scene is established. Marine Rescue Alpine Lakes is now accepting new recruits for those wishing to be trained on our state of the art vessels. Our Training Officer David Farmer is now organising courses which include first aid, communications, radar, map reading and plotting as well as seamanship and night navigation using our Fleur Darkness screens. Our Commander Les Threlfo ESM is determined to make sure that teamwork is a major part of achieving a good outcome individually and as a team member. If you are interested in joining, you need to be 18 years and over to join our Marine Rescue family. For inquiries please phone our duty phone on 0419 912 883.

with Lee Taylor-Friend

Award-winning local poet and author, Lee Taylor-Friend will be presenting a series of introductory writing workshops throughout winter. The workshops explore how writing can be used as a positive self-help tool to increase wellbeing, reduce stress, expand your horizons and express yourself in a safe and welcoming environment. ‘Writing as Therapy’ explores journaling, random writing and an expressive letter writing. ‘The Healing Art of Poetry’ teaches simple poetry techniques, free verse, rhyming poetry, mindfulness through verse and more. ‘Write Your Life’ explores journaling, the idea that everybody has a story to tell and writing your story. Heather has attended several workshops and said she found them inspiring and useful as an amateur writer and supportive and beneficial as a carer and mental health client. “Lee is adept at unlocking the ability to express oneself through writing, with a modesty and compassion that speaks of years of experience,” Heather said. “Lee’s workshops are ostensibly about writing and the fact that everyone has their own unique story to tell, but they also subtly encompass psychology, philosophy and some very valuable life lessons.” Over the past couple of years, Lee has predominately presented her ‘Writing as

Therapy’ workshops for Carers ACT as part of their health and wellbeing programs for carers. “I was keen to restructure and develop my workshops into three separate two-hour programs with handouts that can be taken home for attendees to work on in their own time and space,” said Lee. “I would like to look at expanding these introductory workshops in the future and possibly create a regular writers group.” All workshops will be held at Snowy Monaro Regional Library Cooma in the Vin Good Room and no previous writing experience is required. Tea, coffee and course notes included. If there is enough interest, Lee is happy to look into running the workshops on a weekday or evening in Cooma, Jindabyne, Berridale and beyond. The workshops are available for groups, organisations or individuals. ‘Introduction to Writing as Therapy’ Saturday 30 June, 10.30am - 12.30pm. ‘The Healing Art of Poetry’ Saturday - 28 July 10.30am - 12.30pm. ‘Introduction to Write Your Life’ - Saturday 25 August 10.30am - 12.30pm.

KIDS’ JULY SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN AT Yarrangobilly Caves has introduced new Winter Wilder Quest Nature Play school holiday activities for primary school children. On 10, 13, 18 and 23 July, Little Caves for Little Kids will be offered between 2–3:30pm, for children to test their climbing, crawling and balancing skills as they explore some of the smaller wild caves in the Yarrangobilly Valley. Yarrangobilly Caves spokesperson, Nicola Beckett, said, “We’ll adventure through the Big Rock and Meat Safe Caves, before really testing our abilities with the Little Chimney Climb and Glory Scramble.” Nicola said there is also a Bake & Bushcraft activity from 10:30am until 12 noon, giving children the chance to learn basic bush skills and cook their own

morning tea on a camp fire. They will explore the valley’s creek and forest and identify the tracks and scats of the animals living there, before cooking morning tea, making a bush shelter and creating some land art. In the October holidays, the popular “We’re Going on a Bug Hunt” activity will also be offered again. Children will explore the wonderful world of bugs and creepy crawly critters at the Caves, using magnifying glasses and keen eyes to follow bug trails to find out what they look like, where they live and how they hide from predators. Activities go ahead in rain, hail or shine. At Yarrangobilly, staff believe there is no bad weather, only bad clothing choices! Children will need to wear

boots with sufficient grip and warm, waterproof clothes that can get dirty and wet. They also need a backpack containing a bottle of water, beanie and gloves. It is essential that parents bring a change of clothes, gloves, socks and shoes as well as snacks for after the activity. All tools, equipment and food are supplied for each activity, which will cost $15 per child. There is a maximum of 16 children with two qualified supervisors. Children should arrive fed and having been to the bathroom recently. Please note that places are strictly limited, with a maximum of 16 children per two supervisors for each activity so bookings are essential. Bookings can be made on (02) 6454 9597.

A DA M I N A BY New cafÉ open

If you enjoy cosying up to a fire with a delicious coffee and big slice of homemade cake, then Boston & Ivy in Adaminaby is the place for you. Recently opened by Desiree and Glen, who used to run the general store in the little town of Whiporie, the café is also a local art and craft store. With an eclectic display of paintings, photographs, wall hangings, cards, soaps, jewellery, felts and knitted goodies, all by local artists, there is something unique for everyone. Boston & Ivy is named after Desiree’s two favourite plants. They have both taken up proud spots at the café, with Boston greeting visitors as they walk in and Ivy tucked up next to the counter to keep her eye on things. Desiree is quite the home cook. Banana walnut loaf, Dutch almond and ginger slice, chocolate walnut brownie, lemon syrup cake, and date and walnut loaf are just some of the scrumptious cakes Desiree whips up in her kitchen at home. The café also offers a variety of toasted sandwiches, sourcing her bread from the Adaminaby Bakery. Boston & Ivy has also just branched out into dinners. Open until 7.30pm from Thursday to Sunday, the café will be offering comfort food in pasta bakes, casseroles, soups and quiches. They are available for eating in and taking away and are a perfect way to end a day full of winter adventures. Open from 7am Thursday to Sunday, it is also a great place to grab your morning coffee. Using the delicious Snowy Mountains Coffee, roasted locally, it is just what you need to kick start the day. So call in to say g’day to the gang – that’s Boston, Ivy, Desiree, Glen and of course, the big trout.

Trout season over for winter

49

Anglers are reminded that the June long weekend was their last opportunity to catch a trout before the traditional fishing season closes for designated rivers and streams across NSW over the winter months. NSW Department of Primary Industries’ (DPI) Senior Fisheries Manager, Cameron Westaway, said the closure allows brown, rainbow and brook trout to breed during their annual spawning run, while also permitting trout fishers to fish during both the June and October long weekends. “The annual closure started on Tuesday June 12 and re-opens in time for the October long weekend at midnight on Friday September 28,” Mr Westaway said. “There are a number of trout dams across the state that anglers can continue to fish for trout during the closed season, many of these have been stocked as part of the NSW DPI fish stocking program. “DPI, in conjunction with local acclimatisation societies, has been stocking trout dams and rivers in NSW for many years; this allows anglers to fish for trout during the closed season without breaking the rules. “Popular winter fishing spots include Lakes Jindabyne and Eucumbene, Oberon Dam near Bathurst, Tantangara and Talbingo Dams near Tumut and Lake Wallace and Thompson’s Creek Dam near Lithgow. “Nearly three million trout and

salmon were stocked across NSW during the 2017/18 stocking season.” NSW DPI Director of Fisheries Compliance, Patrick Tully, said fisheries officers will be patrolling waterways across the State to ensure that fishers are adhering to the closure. “Anyone found fishing for trout in rivers and streams during the closed season risks an on-thespot fine of over $500,” Mr Tully said. “Fishing in trout dams during the closed season is permitted however anglers are reminded that they are still required to have a current NSW recreational fishing licence receipt on them at all times while fishing. “A combined bag limit of five and a size limit of 25cm applies for trout or salmon in all trout dams except Thompsons Creek Dam and Black Lake where the bag limit is two.” For more information on trout fishing rules and regulations can be found at www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/ fisheries. The NSW DPI FishSmart app provides recreational fishers 24/7 smartphone access to essential information they need to know to fish in NSW. It is available in the App Store or on Google Play. Any suspected illegal fishing activity can be reported through the FishSmart app or to the Fishers Watch phone line on 1800 043 536.

Historic local ski club gets the wheels turning

Image credit: JettyBlue Photography

St Moritz Ski club is one of Thredbo’s oldest snow sport clubs. For nearly 40 years, St Moritz has been coaching local children to develop their snow sport skills and encourage participation in active, healthy lifestyles. St Moritz is excited to announce the bus is back for 2018. Together with generous sponsors Thredbo Resort, Rhythm Snowsports Cooma and Deane Transport Services, St Moritz athletes can once again start their St Moritz ski day with a bus ride from Cooma with stops at Jindabyne and back again, as part of their program fee. Deane Transport Services will be providing a 34 seat coach complete with trailer to transport athletes every day of the 2018 program. Club President and former Australian Ski Team member, Alyson Deane said “we’re just so excited to have the bus back. We know that local families don’t always have parents that ski, but they still wish for their kids to participate in snowsports and the bus effectively brings our program to them.” The 2018 season program runs every Sunday for 10 weeks from June 24, plus four days during the July school holidays. “We have kids that are very early on in their snowsports journey, through to national level interschool racers. Our program works for everyone because our main focus is building on-snow competency through holistic skills acquisition. That means riding pretty much anything in all conditions,” Alyson said. “Our strength lies in the St Moritz community. We have generations of families returning to St Moritz every winter and we have the same amazing instructors that return year after year so we can offer a level of coaching consistency and learning fluency that no other program in the mountains can offer.” And it appears the St Moritz’s dedication to building snow sports skills pays off. “We are very proud of our heritage of helping create the foundation for many of our country’s best winter olympians,” explains Alyson. With previous St Moritz athletes such as Olympians Manuela Berchtold, Nick Kirschner and Alice Jones, make sure you wave at the St Moritz bus as it travels the Alpine Way every Sunday morning, you may just be waving at our next winter Olympians. St Moritz 2018 membership and program registrations are now open to all athletes under 18 years of age and their families. For more program information and member registrations, please go to our website www.stmoritzskiclub.com.

take time for yourself There are two kinds of yoga on offer, Hatha and Yin Yoga. Hatha is a gentle to moderate style yoga. It involves postures with a gentle flow to suit all levels, aiming to target the muscles used throughout the day’s activities, incorporating breath awareness to balance the body, the mind and the soul through awareness and flexibility.

After an exhausting day on the slopes, take time for yourself and join Emma from EmBody Yoga to recognise the benefits of breath awareness and mindfulness in all that you do. Classes available from Monday to Thursday and on Saturday all winter. All levels are welcome.

Hatha classes run from 4pm to 5.15pm. Yin Yoga is a series of long held passive floor (mostly) poses, teaching self compassion through the aptitude of patience and observation, soothing and calming the body and mind. Yin yoga targets the connective tissue and joints, vital for continual movement and restoration throughout

life at any age. It can be gentle to as deep as you like to go. Yin Yoga classes run from 5.30pm to 6.45pm. The cost is $20 per person, per class. For more information about the classes, visit www.lakecrackenback.com.au.

Emma’s Story Moving to Thredbo in 1989, my life began! Surrounded by the beauty of the Snowy Mountains and the local area, activities and fun abound, I dove right into it all – summer and winter. When a yoga teacher and mentor came to town, Yvonne Lazette, my life changed or should I say it enriched. I had found the way to balance all my activities by nurturing and growing an awareness of the body through yoga. Travelling for over 30 years following my passions, I’ve been lucky to incorporate yoga into my life by recognising its benefits and visiting many wonderful studios and learning from various

amazing teachers. I believe yoga has helped me prevent many injuries and prepare for the high level of flexibility and performance my sports demanded of me. This journey has taught me to recognise the benefits of breath awareness and mindfulness – finding stillness in the body, finding the stillness in the breath, finding stillness in the mind. Skiing, telemarking, snowboarding, mountain biking, mountaineering, rock climbing and kayaking are but a few of the activities that I know yoga has helped me enjoy at a higher level. Living in Sydney for the past 15 years, working in,

and studying outdoor education, oriental therapies and Shiatsu massage, running a corporate massage business amongst a few interests has never stopped me from visiting the mountains, what can I say? I love the area and have always considered it my real home. So, now I’m back and hope to bring yoga, the essence of movement and stillness to your lives at the area’s finest resort – Lake Crackenback Resort and Spa. Namaste, Emma

Physiotherapist - Massage Therapist Berridale sits in the heart of the Snowy Monaro, centrally located in the middle of three gateways, south to the snowfields, north to Canberra and east to the coast. A unique landscape of granite boulders scaƩered across the rolling Monaro plains, the ever changing colours of towering poplars line the streets of a charming and picturesque village that has everything... Whether you are on your way to the alpine snowfields or taking a scenic drive through to the coast, experience a warm township with plenty of atmosphere and heart.

New direction for poet Lee Last October, Lee Taylor-Friend walked into Shear Delight Hairdressing Salon in Berridale and walked out with a new haircut and exciting new business idea. In four short months, Lee’s idea became a reality, and Snowy Mountains Remedial Massage was back up and running after a 15-year hiatus. “I went to Mandy for a haircut and was telling her about how I wanted a shop front again,” said Lee. “She said, ‘You know my front room is free?’” As destiny would have it, Berridale was also missing a massage therapist after Nicola Johnson moved her business to Canberra in January. “It was just fate, serendipity, that I went in for a haircut and ended up setting up a business,” Lee said. Lee’s story started far from the Snowy Mountains in the hustle and bustle of Sydney, where she worked as a

property manager for a busy real estate agency in the northern suburbs. “It was a high pressure, high stress job in the hectic real estate world,” she said. Lee’s life was brought to a halt when her father passed away suddenly. She took a step back, reassessed her life and made a decision that would completely change its course. “I realised stress really isn’t great for you,” she said. “Money is one thing, but quality of life is another.” Lee had been thinking about massage therapy for a while, and with the support of her husband, enrolled in a Diploma of Remedial Massage at the Australasian College of Natural Therapies in Surry Hills. Coming from a job where she rarely had time for exercise, Lee treated the career change as a lifestyle change as well. She walked 40 minutes to the college carrying a backpack full of

textbooks and switched to a healthier diet. Through her course, Lee learned the way the body works, with a focus on anatomy, physiology, nutrition, remedial therapies, aromatherapy, reflexology and shiatsu. “A lot more goes into study than people realise,” she said. When Lee and her husband moved to the Snowy Mountains in 2000, she opened a massage therapy practice at the Banjo Paterson Inn and later, the Alpine Gables Resort. By 2003, she had two sons under two years old and was unable to provide the level of service she wanted for her business. “It felt better to step away from having a shop front, so I became a ‘stay at home mum’, which is the busiest job in the world!” She said. “When my second son, Jake, was one, I started to write. I wrote stories of local people, got involved in community

events and encouraged people to share their stories and history.” In 2009, Lee’s husband had a lifechanging accident and their life was diverted in yet another direction. Lee started working for community services in Berridale, supporting people with dementia and other specific needs. She soon realised the healing power of writing and developed therapeutic writing and poetry workshops for Carers ACT. “It is empowering for people to learn a skill,” said Lee. “Writing can be used as a positive selfhelp tool to increase wellbeing and reduce stress.” Lee will be offering a series of writing workshops throughout winter.

No stopping on foreshore

In moves to curb antisocial behaviour, Council has introduced and is enforcing ‘No Stopping Areas’ along the Lake Jindabyne foreshore. At the Council Meeting on Thursday 7 June, Councillors voted in favour of installing ‘No Stopping Area’ signs to help protect the amenity of the lake foreshore. The signage will be placed between Curiosity Rocks and Poo Bay, and is targeted at the influx of overnight camping during the winter season. No Stopping Areas will operate from 6pm to 7am (in the town centre/bowling club precinct the new restrictions will commence at 11pm) between 9 June to 8 October, 2018. Signs will be installed at the following locations at Wollondibby Inlet, the Claypits, Town Centre and Townsend St/Cobbon Crescent. The penalty for disobeying a ‘No Stopping’ sign is $257. These areas can be enforced by Council Rangers and the Police, and may be applied more than once. Council has installed ‘No Stopping Areas’ following community calls to deter overnight camping along the lake foreshore. On one weekend last year, more than 80 vehicles were parked at the Claypits, leaving behind a trail of litter, human faeces and broken bottles. Council also recently introduced ‘Alcohol Free

Zones’ along the foreshore and other areas of town for the winter season between 9.30pm and 9am. Member of the Snowy Community Drug Action Team (CDAT) Claire Rogerson says the ‘No Stopping Zones’ and the ‘Alcohol Free Zones’ are a step in the right direction but more needs to be done. “It is good to see Council taking a more proactive approach to the problem, which has increased enormously over the last five years,” says Claire. “These measures are good as they show people that general drinking and partying on public land to its detriment is not accepted. “Jindabyne needs more venues and places for people to go in the evenings that do not revolve around drinking. There are very few community spaces here that allow for that kind of community service. They need a safe place, away from those kinds of influences. “The situation at the moment is a problem for businesses, for major stakeholders such as the resorts, for the community and for those who work in planning. Other ski towns internationally have helped ease these kinds of problems by building on site accommodation for their seasonal workers, and providing them with communal spaces to socialise. The key is for everyone to work together to reach an effective solution, that includes every individual involved in these activities taking responsibility for

their actions.” Snowy Monaro Regional Council Mayor John Rooney says these new measures will ensure the foreshore can be enjoyed by the entire community. “Last winter, the foreshore was overrun by visitors who didn’t value or respect it,” said Mayor Rooney. “The introduction of No Stopping Areas will benefit the community. They will deter visitors from illegally camping during the winter period. “We have seen increasing numbers of visitors through winter using the foreshore for unauthorised camping, parking and even to throw parties. This isn’t on. Installing and enforcing No Stopping Areas will enable permanent residents of Jindabyne to enjoy the foreshore, and protect this valuable asset.” Councillor Peter Beer said this issue is not a new one for Jindabyne and although this new measure will work in the interim, a long-term solution needs to be established. Councillors resolved to seek a permanent solution to controlling and regulating camping along the lake foreshore, using this winter as a learning opportunity. The foreshore land is owned by Snowy Hydro and is leased to Council for public purposes. The land provides access to the lake, and tracks for walking, riding and boat trailers.

TSM appointed to lead tourism in Snowy Monaro Region The review of Regional Tourist Organisations (RTO’s) by Destination NSW (DNSW) and the simultaneous amalgamation of Councils in NSW, both placed TSM (Tourism Snowy Mountains) in a state of uncertainty for almost the last two years. TSM has finally been recognised as the lead tourist organisation for the Snowy Monaro Regional Council’s (SMRC) local government area. It has been a long time coming, during which time a report by the University of Canberra was prepared at the request of SMRC to advise it on how tourism should be structured in the region. On June 21, SMRC resolved to appoint TSM to promote the Snowy Mountains and its attractions and to provide a funding contribution to TSM until June 2021. The Board of TSM would like to express its appreciation to Council for its decision. DNSW recognised TSM as a highly competent organisation with good assets and a strong track record of success, so it’s pleasing that SMRC has now also recognised the vitally important role TSM has played and will continue to play in attracting visitors to the region and planning for improved infrastructure and the introduction of new products and experiences. TSM will focus its promotional efforts in the international, national and state arenas with SMRC tourism staff concentrating on local merchandising efforts to maximise the length of stay and dispersal of visitors throughout the region together with the various Chambers of Commerce and Progress Associations. TSM looks forward to working with Council’s tourism staff and the various Chambers of Commerce and Progress Associations in coordinating the effective use of resources to grow the visitor economy in the region. TSM’s prime purpose, as stated in its Constitution is as follows: • Operate as the effective peak tourism organization for the Snowy Mountains region. • Represent the whole of the tourism industry within the Snowy Mountains • Protect and enhance the “Snowy Mountains” brand. • Provide leadership to regional tourism in the

Snowy Mountains with a demonstrated commitment to tourism development. • Operate as the lead agency for regional destination marketing. • Increase tourist visitation and assist local industry participants to increase revenue and yields. • Increase employment opportunities as a result of tourism industry growth in the Snowy Mountains region. • Provide consistent and timely communication to all stakeholders regarding TSM’s activities and achievements. • Ensure tourism is developed and managed in a sustainable manner with regard to the region’s environment, economy and society. • Ensure TSM operates as a financially sustainable association resourced by regional industry. • Work with all relevant government agencies. • Identify and leverage funding opportunities as they arise for the benefit of the Snowy Mountains region. • Identify and support new investment and infrastructure development needs and opportunities. • Identify, apply for, and facilitate any public funding for tourism that could be available for the region in the future.

Structure of TSM The Board of TSM is presently reviewing the TSM Board structure, liaison with industry groups and the source of on-going promotional funds for TSM. There is a perception that TSM represents only “the big end of town”. It should be noted though that our region would be very different and poorer without the presence, investments and promotional expenditures of the so called “big end of town” players. Our region has a distinct advantage over other regions in NSW, and indeed throughout Australia, by having large companies and organisations working together to support and strengthen our unique region and TSM. Another perception is that the small business owner receives little direct benefit by paying an annual membership fee in the order of $350. This may be due to members having misguided expectations in relation to the role of TSM and its prime purpose.

57

In addition, TSM, while ever it seeks small business memberships is competing with Chambers of Commerce for those limited funds.

Appointment of part time executive, Business Plan and Budget for 2018-19 The Board of Directors of TSM recently agreed to appoint its Chairman, Mr Wayne Kirkpatrick to a part time executive role to advance the interests of TSM and its members. Mr Kirkpatrick has agreed to take on this role, to prepare a Business Plan and Budget for 2018 – 19 and to execute key components of the plan. One of the first steps will be to address the issue of Board of Directors positions and TSM memberships. To advance the former, a selection panel will be established in accord with TSM’s Constitution.

Summer/Autumn Campaign 2017-18 Interestingly, despite all RTOs in NSW no longer being recognised by DNSW, that body, DNSW, joined with TSM and jointly funded a promotional campaign during the summer/autumn of 2017/18, each party contributing over $100,000 to fund the campaign, which essentially was a digital campaign involving the use of web sites, Facebook, Instagram, Google analytics and Hotels Combined, press and tv lifestyle programmes. The campaign was jointly funded by DNSW and TSM with TSM’s contribution coming from its cash reserves. No stakeholder or member of TSM was asked to contribute any cash to fund this campaign, which, as stated above, was digitally based and commenced in December 2017, concluding in May 2018. In addition to the use of web sites, Facebook, Instagram, Google analytics and Hotels Combined, press and magazines and tv lifestyle programmes, namely Channel 7’s Weekend Sunrise and Sydney Weekender tv shows were involved. The results of the campaign are presently being compiled by DNSW and Hotels Combined and will be available early in July. Anecdotally though, businesses throughout the region have reported very strong trading results this past summer and autumn, in many cases record results, which is very pleasing.

Our wildlife uses our roads, too Holiday makers and residents aren’t the only users of roads in the Snowy Mountains region – our local wildlife also use road corridors as well. This can be an issue, if they happen to be crossing a road at the same time someone is driving along it. LAOKO (Looking After Our Kosciuszko Orphans) is a wildlife rescue group based in the Snowy Mountains.This group of trained volunteer carers assist in the rescue and care of native wildlife in the local area. Each year hundreds of native animals are injured or killed as a result of car accidents, dog attacks and human intervention in the form of unauthorised culling. Many young animals as a result are left orphaned and the organisation assists in the raising of these orphans and rehabilitating for release back into the wild.

If you find an injured animal in our area, please contact us as soon as possible on (02) 6456 1313. If you need to assist an injured animal, here is the best advice from LAOKO: Emergency Rescue Firstly, do not panic if you encounter an injured animal or an orphan. It is important to remain as calm as possible. If you need to move an animal from a road, please ensure that your car is parked safely on the side of the road. MAKE SURE YOU AREN’T THE NEXT VICTIM. If you encounter a dead animal on the road, please move it off the road for the safety of others. Improper rescue can hurt both the animal and the rescuer. LAOKO has specially trained volunteers to deal with all situations. Wild animals are suseptible to stress and can therefore injure themselves whilst trying to escape a stressful situation. Our aim is to minimise the stress to the animal, allowing it a better chance of survival and re-habilitation. DO • Move the animal off the road if this is the case. Do not endanger your life doing so. Make sure the road is clear of traffic, if you can’t do this, please call our Emergency Rescue line, local Police or National Parks & Wildlife for assistance. • Ensure the animal is not at risk of attack from domestic animals such as dogs or cats, by locking them up until a rescuer arrives and takes the animal. You can minimise stress to the animal by placing a towel or blanket over it,

Open from 12 noon till late. 7 Days a week.

then place in a box (if it is a small animal or bird). Kangaroos, wombats, etc, should calm down if the towel or blanket is placed over their head. Try not to disturb the animal and wait till a rescuer arrives. As soon as possible, contact LAOKO’s Emergency Rescue line, your local Police or National Parks & Wildlife. You will be advised what action to take. DON’T • Try to feed the animal until you have spoken with someone who is qualified in native animal rescue. Marsupials are intolerant to cows milk. Water is better than trying to feed cow’s milk. • Remove an animal from a pouch or take it away from its mother because you think the kids would love to hand raise it. Too many animals have died slow and miserable deaths due to parents thinking it would be good to teach their kids the responsibility. Native animals aren’t like kittens and puppies and need specialised care. Don’t forget : It is illegal to keep native wildlife without a licence, they must be passed on to a licenced carer or Wildlife Rescue Organisation. As cute and cuddly as the animal may appear, it’s unfair to give them nothing but the best possible chance of survival. • SLOW DOWN ON MOUNTAIN ROADS.
