Get ready for fire season

holidaymakers, including many families, made their way out to see the show.
More than a few had the chance to wield the rather powerful firefighting equipment at the disposal of the RFS, under the careful supervision of the volunteers.
Perhaps some of the kids will be inspired to join up once they come of age.
“We set up a water relay from hydrant to the bulky, and to the Cat1, and DC Cameron Bright gave in excess of a hundred kids of all ages a hose experience, resulting in a few wet parents and siblings,” explained Brigade Captain David Bright.
“From our perspective, it was a very successful day.
“We had our Get Ready info marquee, distributed a heap of information, and spoke with a lot of people.”
The message to “Get Ready” for fire season is the main goal of all RFS Brigades right now, as the official fire permit season is already
past its first month, and there are some serious consequences if fires are lit illegally.
The most straightforward piece of literature the RFS was handing out on the issue is the pamphlet entitled “Before You Light That Fire”, aimed at informing landowners planning to burn vegetation on the property.
It has four simple steps to follow:
q Deputy Captain Cameron Bright helps one youngster handle the hose.
1) Seek environmental approval from either Local Land Services or your local Council and learn the difference between hazard reduction burning and other burning purposes, such as clearing, garden maintenance or agriculture.
2) Obtain a fire permit by contacting the local RFS Fire Control Centre or Fire and
(02) 4981 8882
3) Notify surrounding neighbours and the local RFS and FRNSW at least 24 hours prior to starting a burn. If not clearly notified, the neighbours could call Triple Zero (000).
4) Check if it is an official Total Fire Ban Day, which will automatically suspend any permits.

The group of eleven councillors will serve the community for a four-year term, until September 2028.
From Group A, Peter Howard returns for a second term.
From Group B, Thomas O’Keefe will join the council for the first time.
Group C’s Jeremy Miller won another term, while Labor (Group D) had two candidates elected - Claire Pontin will take on a third term while Digby Wilson will make his council debut.
Group E also had two
elected, with Alan Tickle earning another term and Nicole Turnbull adding a fresh face to the mix.
In the big surprise of the election, three Libertarian candidates will join the council - Michael Graham, Phillip Beazley and Hugh McKenzie.
Rounding out the eleven-person council is Greens candidate Dheera
Smith, who returns for a second term.
Council General Manager Adrian Panuccio said he is looking forward to working with the new councillors, who have started their new roles by undertaking an orientation.
“As a Council, we are governed by the Local Government Act 1993, which outlines the many
responsibilities of Council and the protocols we must follow,” said Mr Panuccio.
“New councillors bring a range of experience and community knowledge to their role but are not expected to have a full understanding of local government.”
On Wednesday 9 October at 2pm, councillors will hold their first meeting
Local representation returns
FOLLOWING the finalisation of local government election counting
last week, the Tea Gardens/ Hawks Nest area has a local
representative on MidCoast Council once more.

When Performance Trumps Compliance
by David Collins
In the recent case of Christer Nominees Pty Ltd v Calabria Community Club Ltd, the Supreme Court of New South Wales ruled in favour of Christer Nominees Pty Ltd, awarding it $419,137.08 plus interest and costs for unpaid commission fees under disputed real estate agency agreements.
The Court found that the agreements were binding, and that the Plaintiff complied with the relevant legislative requirements or was entitled to relief from noncompliance under section 55A of the Property and Stock Agents Act
2002 (NSW). The case demonstrates that the Court may grant relief from non-compliance with legislative requirements in certain circumstances and that the intention to create legal relations is supported when each party performs part of the contract.

The twin towns have been without local representation since long standing councillor Len Roberts failed to secure reelection in 2021.
On 1 October, MidCoast Independents lead candidate Thomas O’Keefe was one of eleven to be announced as a sitting councillor for the next four year term of MidCoast Council.
Mr O’Keefe, who resides in Hawks Nest, thanked locals for their support during the campaign.
“This election victory is a win for democracy, and is shared by the entire community,” he said.
“The campaign was supported whole-heartedly by dozens of locals who
volunteered to spread the word via mail drops, prepolling and on the day, donations and helping to make the right connections amongst the southern MidCoast area.
“While it is a shame that not more from our group could make it onto Council, my team of Bruce Murray, Jeanette Hart, Mal Motum, Terry Munright, and Heather Vaughan were critical to the effort, and every vote they garnered came back to me as the leader, enabling me to be elected.
“I especially want to thank my mother, Sherrie, for her unwavering support through the entire campaign, before and after it - I could not have made it without her.”

The livestream link is available on Council’s website www.midcoast. nsw.gov.au.
With council meetings starting this week, Mr O’Keefe said he plans to use his independence to fight for the best possible outcomes for the immediate area.
“My agenda is the local agenda, nothing more, nothing less,” he said.
“I follow no party line, and owe nothing to anyone beyond the sincere efforts and support of the community as a whole.
“A councillor represents the entire LGA, however, I am acutely aware that the villages and townships of the Myall Coast (Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest, North Arm Cove) gave my group 60 percent of their votes, including the Tea Gardens pre-polling, and I have taken that as a mandate, and happily represent my area now.”

Council invests in koala ‘Safe Space’ program
By John WATTS
MIDCOAST Council is making a valuable contribution to the future of koalas in the region through its Koala Safe Space Program.
The Council, with the support of state and federal governments, is making a substantial investment in two key areas, knowledge gathering and habitat improvement
Knowing where koalas live, how abundant they are in different locations, and what their population trends are, is critical for good decision-making.
“Protecting ‘safe spaces’ must be at the forefront of koala conservation,” said MidCoast Senior Ecologist Mat Bell.
“Prioritising areas of high-density
populations is critical.”
The MidCoast has some of the highest densities of koalas recorded anywhere in NSW.
But those populations vary considerably.
Some

We have this printed edition available online for FREE, as well as archive editions. You can also subscribe, for FREE, and we will email you the printed edition flipbook each week.
Near Tinonee, there are areas that have one koala for every two and half hectares of habitat.
Other areas have one koala per five to seven hectares of land.
These are considered high density populations.
However, areas considered high density 15 years ago, have dropped to low density.
Land to the north of Taree and urban Hawks Nest are two examples.
The cause of the decline in these areas is being investigated to avoid similar crashes in the future.
Sudden reductions in numbers seem to be under-pinned firstly by a clearing of habitat, with development, cars, dogs, disease and stress, all contributing factors.
“Restoring habitat is vital too, but investment in planting trees and removing priority weeds is unfolding in a landscape
where too much habitat is still being lost,” Mr Bell said.
“A future for koalas needs to address the largest threat – the ongoing destruction of koala habitat.
“The Council has also been studying and learning more about koalas in the Gloucester area to make the case that koala conservation investment is valuable and effective.
“Local landholders have been assisting Council in these efforts, and local volunteers have been planting koala friendly trees.” Council’s Koala Conservation Strategy can be found on its website.
Mr Bell also emphasises the importance of reporting koala sightings to the Council via its website or on the I-Spy App.

Featured artist exhibition
By Thomas O’KEEFE
GALLERIES in the Gardens
(GiG) was abuzz with activities over the October long weekend, with two major seasonal events taking place amidst the crowds in town for the Myall River Festival.
On Friday night, the official opening was held for the GiG’s Featured Artist Exhibition, the first of its kind in a while, this year featuring Diana Dean from Bulahdelah way.
“The Featured Artist Exhibition is a special display of works by an accomplished artist and Galleries in the Gardens member, this year being the works of Diana
Dean, a member of the GiG for four years,” fellow local artist Hannah Matilda told NOTA.
“The Featured Artist Exhibitions encourage people to get to work, as we saw many put their hands up for the next one, and the hope is to have up to two Featured Artist Exhibitions going forward, so we can showcase the amazing talents of our local artists more effectively, too,” she said.
As a “representational painter,” Diana’s works are painted in a realistic manner, making their subjects easily recognisable to the viewer.
She has garnered a significant following, especially for her serene
landscapes, powerful seascapes, and expressive portraits - including those of animals.
Exhibition will run to the end of October at the Galleries at 81 Marine Drive.
The Art Mart sale on Saturday was just in time for
Visitors locally and from out of town were stunned by the visible talent of the artists of the GiG, and many sales were made, each one a small piece of the area that can be taken home.
The beautiful weather for the long weekend did not disappoint.
The natural beauty of the area undoubtedly inspires the prolific artistic drives of the GiG and other artist groups.

U3A artists show off
By Thomas O’KEEFE
ARTISTS of all ilk from the Myall University of the Third Age (U3A) descended on Hawks Nest Community Hall over the October long weekend, to display and sell their labours of love and expression at the annual Art Show.
Artworks by new and long-time members were on display.
Of the many paintings, cards, and painted bags sold, the most popular themes among locals and tourists alike turned out to be the sublimely beautiful flannel flowers and iconic beach scenes.
“Many purchases were made, the support and positive comments about the high quality of work from the customers was truly appreciated,” celebrated
local artist Jeanette Hart, one of the convenors of the MU3A Art Group, told the News Of The Area.
“We are grateful for the opportunity U3A has given us to learn and develop our skills in a positive, encouraging way and to be able to exhibit and sell
our artworks was a huge achievement for many.
“The art created by new members and veterans was of particularly high standard this year.”
Alongside the visual artistry was the newly written work of Ray Keipert, from MU3A Writers’ Group.
MidCoast Assist services transitioned to Kirinari
MIDCOAST Council has now formally transitioned the ageing services formerly delivered by MidCoast Assist to Kirinari.
Kirinari is a regionallybased not-for-profit provider of human services, including disability and aged care.
Council says the transition has provided continuity of services to MidCoast Assist’s
ageing clients and for existing staff who elected to take up employment with Kirinari.
MidCoast Council entered into talks with Kirinari following a requestfor-proposal process from interested providers, which was a result of a decision in February to transition out of the delivery of ageing and disability services.
“We’re excited to welcome MidCoast Assist clients to Kirinari,” said Diane Lynch, Kirinari CEO.
“Our priority is ensuring they receive the same trusted care and wrap-around supports that help them live a good life.
“We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible so that

Council’s Director of Liveable Communities, Paul De Szell, has also welcomed the transition.
“We are pleased with the outcome for both participants and staff, as it has always been our aim to ensure the continuity of services to our clients,” Mr De Szell said.
“I am pleased that we are

Helping women start anew
By Thomas O’KEEFE
WOMEN of Destiny Haven visited Tea Gardens St Andrews Anglican Church on Tuesday, 1 October, to bring a welcome dose of feedback to the unending charitable works of the Op Shop group.
Proceeds from the twice yearly Christmas sales at the
Op Shop, one in July and one in December, have been donated to Destiny Haven, the local Free Clinic Bus, and some locals in need.
The lion’s share of the $3040 raised in July went to Destiny Haven, a residential women’s rehabilitation centre located near Dungog that focuses on giving women a chance to commit to overcoming their lifecontrolling issues.
The women working to better their lives at Destiny Haven are called “Diamonds”, and the
organisation’s stated goal is "empowering women to shine".
“We deal with everything underneath too, which takes time, and have counsellors and GPs,” explained Casey, who has been at Destiny Haven for seven and a half years.
“Some of the ‘diamonds’ – the clientele of Destiny Haven – have had a very rough go, including self-harm, eating disorders and more life-altering situations.
“It’s not just a case of
'come, get clean, and go', but 'learn how to have a full life, learn 'how to do life'."
Casey spoke frankly and openly about her own situation, which began on an overworked dairy farm in the country, and some very significant psychological strains that stemmed from her upbringing.
Casey is now a chocolatier and mentors other women.
“This is a blessing, I could never have dreamt I'd still be there, but eventually learnt that ‘I was worthy, I was loved’.
“Destiny Haven is not government-funded, it is self-funded, and does so through engaging the women to make or do something productive, from the preserves and chocolates on sale today, to the two accommodation properties that they manage for income - 'Valleyview' (west of Vacy) and 'Carriageway' (south of Dungog).
“The Diamond Collection, the stuff the Diamonds all make, are all made at DH, and is a 'social enterprise' that encourages
the women to start dreaming and learn how to dream big.
“This gives the women the opportunity to gain skills for work and life, and, despite being in its 18th year of operation, Destiny Haven is still not very well known.”
Two parishioners, Barry and Stuart, also donated 30 beautiful locally-made wooden models to Destiny Haven for them to sell.
The machinery they used was funded by money given by the church last year.

Annual tradition
RESIDENTS from across the Hunter and MidCoast regions flocked to the annual Stroud Brick Throwing and Rolling Pin Competition on Sunday, 6 October.
Originally scheduled for July, the iconic event was rescheduled due to the Stroud Showground being waterlogged.
The competition is run across four Stroud townships
in four countries; Stroud in Gloucestershire, England; in Oklahoma, USA; in Ontario, Canada; and in New South Wales, Australia.
The traditional highlight is the competitive throwing events, where competitors attempt to throw a brick or rolling pin the furthest distance.
Adding to the fun on Sunday was a street parade,
food stalls, a vintage car display, live music, tug-ofwar, wood chop competitions and much more.
In the Open Brick Throwing competition, Angus Devon took out first place with a toss of 87 feet, coming in ahead of near challengers Peter Dolkons, Peter Grambrill and Nathan Ward.
In the Open Rolling Pin
Throwing competition, Ivy Hoadley came out on top with a gigantic 97 feet 10 inches, with Mia Finch and Rachelle Somerville coming in second and third.
In the International Brick Throwing competition, Peter Gambril topped the field with a throw of 87 feet 5 inches, with Angus Devon and Nathan Ward not far behind.
Ivy Hoadley again topped the International Rolling Pin division, followed by Mia Finch and Rachelle Somerville.
Solar farm regulations
NSW One Nation leader
Tania Mihailuk has taken Environment Minister Penny Sharpe to task in parliament over perceived inadequacies of legislation governing the development of solar farms in rural areas.
Ms Mihailuk addressed the NSW Legislative Council on 26 September, questioning Ms Sharpe on the government’s planning framework for renewable energy projects and making
Tania
specific reference to a solar farm slated for Gresford Road, Mitchells Flat.
“In 2023 the Minister publicly committed to fast-tracking renewables, and introduced and passed net zero targets for New South Wales to support those stringent targets,” Ms Mihailuk said.
“Given that foreignowned energy developers are taking advantage of an unregulated solar panel
planning system in New South Wales, and are arm-twisting vulnerable individuals and rural residential communities to accept the industrialisation of their precious land for solar panel factories, such as Mitchells Flat in Singleton, why has the Minister not also ensured that the Government fast-track an appropriate and transparent legislative framework for solar panels, incorporating appropriate
has been a vocal opponent to renewable energy projects in recent years, including offshore wind development off the
oversight measures to ensure a thorough contractual planning legal regulatory framework to stop unscrupulous cowboy behaviour by those energy developers?”
In response to the question, Ms Sharpe said “a range of things are considered, and all of them are stringent” in planning for renewable energy projects.
“The issues relating to solar farms are worked
through under the planning system,” she said.
“Infrastructure development is subject to the same process, whether it is a building, wind farm, solar farm or feedlot.”
Depending on the size of a project, renewable energy proposals are considered under various parts of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
Under State Environmental Planning Policy (Planning Systems) 2021, renewable energy proposals such as solar farms with a capital cost of more than $30 million (or $10 million in an environmentally sensitive area) are considered to be State Significant Development.
Ms Sharpe said landholders being approached for discussions around renewable energy development on their properties was standard practice.
“There is community consultation as well as input from a range of government departments,” she said.
“That is standard; there is nothing new or different.
“People are talking to landholders about options for putting solar panels on their farms or hosting wind towers if they wish to.
“Private landholders have the right to do what they want to with their land.”
Speaking in parliament later that day, Ms Mihailuk again accused energy developers of attempting
to “arm-twist vulnerable farmers and landholders to lease their land for very small amounts of money”.
“There are examples of five-by-five-year agreements at $40,000 a year for something like 500 hectares of land, which is outrageous, yet people sign up to those contracts,” she said.
“The energy developers know that they can do it because there is no framework in place to stop them.”
Ms Mihailuk expressed sympathy for residents in Mitchells Flat, where a 90 megawatt (MW) capacity solar farm has been proposed.
According to the project proponent, Elgin Energy, development approval (DA) is being sought for the development, which would include the installation of around 177,000 ground mounted solar panels.
The project website lists “relatively flat and clear land with few environmental constraints” as a reason for the selection of the Mitchells Flat site.
If approved, Elgin says the solar farm can create enough clean electricity to power around 37,500 NSW homes, while creating around 200 jobs during construction and between one and three during the proposed 40-year operational life.

Dorin’s Draws By Paul DORIN
The Write Direction
By John BLACKBOURN
A timely and nervous view
WHEN Governments struggle to make economic sense, solid advice suggests it is a good idea for the rest of us to keep our mouths shut, especially when we are swimming in deep water.
This advice readily came to mind when listening to a recent interview with Mr Joe Hockey, a one-time Federal Treasurer and more recently Australia’s Ambassador to the USA.
I don’t know what it is with retired politicians, but many can’t bear to be out of the limelight and still think they are of relevance to our nation.
No names of course, no finger pointing to anyone in particular, but we all hope that their experience in the political system might have shined a light on reality.
In the interview Mr Hockey quite rightly points out what my economic contacts in the USA have been advising me for some years; that their government’s excessive use of debt in order to keep society functioning can’t keep on happening without severe repercussions for their economy in the longer term.
Mr Hockey said he expected the US dollar to weaken regardless of who wins the coming Presidential election in a month’s time.
He went on to say that Republicans under Trump are absolutely hell-bent on big tariffs, particularly in relation to Chinese electric vehicles, and that the USA’s shift

DEAR Jasminda,
I HAVE been part of a book club for two years.
One of the members recently confessed that they don't read any of the books (they listen to the audiobook or sometimes just read the first 50 pages and the final page).
Am I wrong to think this isn't 'real' reading?
Are they cheating somehow?
My understanding is that books need to be read, in full, to embrace their effect.
Hermione D.
Dear Hermione,
YOUR name conjures up a particular image for me.
I can see you and your fellow book club members ranged around a coffee table, a platter with cashews, sliced pear, homemade hummus dip, perhaps some black seedless grapes strategically draped over its bamboo edge.
You with your notebook full of carefully observed points of discussion.
And, when it's your turn to host, carefully selected wines based on literature, pouring glasses of Chianti or
towards protectionism will deliver a profound impact on Australia and the rest of the world.
He then delivered a warning on our AUKUS commitment and the possibility that its cost could see Australians remove their public support for that project as our prime defence initiative.
He went on to say that it was too difficult to predict the winner of the US Presidential contest and that Kamala Harris remains too
Why we oppose offshore wind
DEAR News Of The Area,
DURING the recent council election, I was asked why so much of the Port Stephens community was opposed to a floating industrial zone on our ocean.
I replied that many of us are haunted by the thought that our grandchildren would see hordes of massive metal towers in the ocean - and ask us why we let it happen.
Our sleep is disrupted by genuine concern that our beautiful coastal environment, our unique coastal ecosystem,
our coastal communities and our way of life might change irreparably.
So, at No Coastal Turbines Port Stephens, we are stepping way out of our comfort zones because we feel that we must: that we care strongly enough about this cause in a world that tends to defer to the powerful.
It has, we believe, fallen to ordinary people like us to speak up and stand for what we see is right.
Indeed, it is this ordinariness that is perhaps the most compelling aspect of the
Port Stephens situation.
We are 70-year-old grandparents, 45-year-old parents and 25-year-old tradies - all proudly wearing our logo of the blue whale tail.
We are business people, fishers and sailors, intellectuals, communicators, builders, retired couples, truck drivers and electricians - a broad demographic and wide cross section of the community.
And, for standing up for what we believe is right, we’ve sometimes been vilified and derided.

DEAR News Of The Area,
AS a community, we love and fiercely protect the unique environments and ecosystems of the Myall Coast and Port Stephens.
They provide us with natural sanctuaries, recreational opportunities, and the financial benefits generated by our tourism industry.
The science has been clear for many
years now: the number one threat to all of this is climate change.
More whales die every year from increasing ocean temperatures and the impacts on feeding and breeding grounds than from collisions with wind turbines.
We need cheap, safe, renewable, and readily available energy alternatives to coal, and we need them now.
Instead of saying "no" to offshore wind farms, perhaps we should be saying "yes,
but with responsible design and regulation to minimise environmental impacts".
Saying "no" only keeps us chained to coal and growing CO2 emissions.
Saying "yes, but with better regulation and safeguards" gives us a way to save our planet in the long-term and protect our unique local environment in the shortterm.
Regards, Kylie KAYE, North Arm Cove.

Casually dropping Virginia Woolf's line about language being 'wine upon the lips', a reference completely lost by fellow book clubber Susan, whose wild gesticulations mean she somehow manages to get more wine on her lap than in her mouth.
And you would never dare to resort to book club trickery (perhaps reading a review or two, Googling a synopsis, removing any hope of an original thought by resorting to SparkNotes).
Nor would you listen to an audiobook, because that is somehow less authentic.
It's taking the work out of it. If language is wine upon the lips, what is it when someone else's lips are involved?
I'd say it's literary infidelity.
Stick to your moral code, Hermione. Don't cheapen the experience with Bose earplugs.
Suffer through your blurred vision and your pulled neck muscle from trying to finish the last chapter before book club night, just as the author has suffered through years of drafts, imposter syndrome, a below-minimum wage, a divorce, and a bad Goodreads review by a faceless person named LitChickxox (which felt like a knife to the heart).
You are correct in stating that the most important rule of a book club is to read the goddamn book.
much of a mystery to the average low to middle income voters who will ultimately decide the election's result.
The election involves two distinct areas.
Firstly, it involves the majority vote and secondly the result in those seven swinging states, as each State provides a number of electors in relation to its population, who then go on to make the ultimate decision as to who becomes President.
Yet we are simply real people: pointing out energy business practices that we believe focus on profits over communities.
People will protest when they’re not adequately consulted on urgent matters that affect them directly.
To be listened to by authorities is, we feel, a fundamental right.
So our ranks are growing rapidly and we are stepping up our mission of inviting conversation, persuasion and change.
Thank you. Ian ROBERTS, Fingal Bay.

Stinker’s History: The Eileen Sylvia - Part 4
By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE
THIS story is part four of a series about the Mitchells, an early Port Stephens fishing family.
FOR me, writing the history of the commercial fishing industry in Port Stephens was a challenge that took over three years to complete.
During those three years I was to meet some of the most interesting people I have ever met.
Every fishing family had a story to tell.
None more fascinating than the Mitchells.
Picking up from last week, Colin Mitchell continues to recall his experiences.
“Back to work, this time set-lining for shark liver,” he said.
“There was a ban on cod liver oil coming into the country at the time so there was good money to be made – three dime per pound for the liver delivered to Sydney.
“One big tiger shark we caught was 25 feet long and his liver filled a 44 gallon drum.
“When we cut the shark open it had an entire porpoise inside.”
Trawling in ‘Girl Pat’ with his dad, Colin said the only fish with any value were flathead, gummy shark, snapper and jew.
“It was quite common for us to get a shot of John Dory and undo the cod end string and let them all go, maybe 50 – 60 boxes, all dead,” Colin said.
“They would be all full of air and the sharks would have a picnic on them.”
In the Stockton Bight in the 1950s, Colin said prawns were “as thick as fleas on a dog's back”.
“We could trawl 25, 80lb boxes almost every day for about four months in the summer.”
The prawns were packed in kerosene cases lined with newspaper to stop them from falling through the cracks, iced and then sent to Sydney.
“For our efforts we were paid 3d/lb, which was very good,” Colin said.
“Dad and uncle reckoned they could make more if the prawns were cooked, so they got a diesel-fed boiler made out at Gonninan’s workshops, two tonnes weight all lined with fire bricks.
“You can imagine that the boiler was very heavy; we had to get a Brambles crane down to lift it on board the ‘Eileen Sylvia’ and set it right in the middle of the boat.”
A 12 gallon drum of diesel was set up on the wheel house roof to fuel the boiler.
Colin Tarrant showed the Mitchells how to cook the prawns, as he had experience doing so in the Myall Lakes.
The Mitchells would now tow a 16-foot dinghy behind ‘Girl Pat’.
As they would pass the ‘Eileen Sylvia’, Colin would row over with five or six baskets of prawns for the crew to cook. “This would go on until 1-2pm in the day ‘til all our prawns, on both boats, were cooked.
“Then we would go into Newcastle Harbour and tie up.
“The first of the big buyers to show interest in our cooked prawns was ‘Red Funnel Fisheries’ and he took 25 boxes for a sample at the fantastic price of 1/- per pound.”
The next day Red Funnel raised the price to 1/3/lb.
“What a scramble after that,” Colin said.
“Everyone [was] making cookers out of
everything and anything.”
Later, the Eileen Sylvia and Girl Pat left Port Stephens and were steaming towards Stockton when they came on a sailing boat that was beached on the Fingal Spit, a finger of sand that connects the island to the mainland.
The yacht had attempted to sail through the spit on its way to the entrance to the port.
Brian Hall, who was out for a day on the water with the Mitchells, swam ashore from Eileen Sylvia with a rope and helped them bail out.
Alf and Colin, on board Girl Pat, were called in to assist and both trawlers were able to pull the sailboat off the beach. The lone sailor continued his travels and entered the port and went over to Tea Gardens to repair any damage.
Once repaired he came back to Nelson Bay where he tossed out the anchor.
When the Mitchells were short of a deckhand or one of the brothers were unable to go to sea, the sailor was picked up to work on the trawlers.
The Mitchells went to Queensland at this stage, and in their absence the sailor, Sam, bought an old trawler and began living on it at Salamander Bay.
While in Queensland the Mitchells were told that a policeman was crossing the Hunter River on the punt at Stockton when he shot himself in the backside with his own gun.
The story goes that the policeman was on his way to Nelson Bay to arrest the sailor, Sam Luxford, an alias, for bank robbery.
The alleged bank robber was finally arrested and returned to Melbourne where he ended up in jail.
He never did forget the assistance given to him by the Nelson Bay fishermen and regularly wrote to them during the early 1960s from his
cell in ‘B’ Division, HM Pentridge, Coburg.
“When you are sailing past the lighthouse will you kindly think of me,” Luxford wrote.
Another of Colin’s incredible stories relates to the beaching of Girl Pat on Stockton Beach.
“We had trawled all day for no prawns at all, up to Nelson Bay and back to Newcastle,” Colin said.
“I was buggered.
“After I cleared Morna Point I decided to pull up a fish box and have a rest heading for the BHP glow in the sky.”
Colin went to sleep and woke up with the boat stuck up on a sandbank on Stockton Beach, right at the old Uralla wreck.
“Amazingly it was very calm, the main problem was that Girl Pat had no reverse gear.
“So that I could keep her stern onto the waves I kept her going ahead, still having steerage in the stern.”
Being close to 3:30am with no help in sight, Colin sent up flares to attract the attention of the prawners in Stockton Bight.
Eventually he was towed off the beach.
One by one the Mitchells left Port Stephens to work in the prawn rich waters of Queensland.
Nelson and son Clyde left in the early ‘60s as the returns from seine fishing off Port Stephens had diminished and the northern waters were looking far more attractive.
Colin found Queensland appealing and followed years later when the northern state offered good finance on fishing vessels.
Queensland was a big export dollar maker and a much more lucrative fishery.
They also had a management plan in place for their fishery which was not the case in NSW.
The ‘Girl Pat’ was sailed north and finally sold before going down off Keppel Island.
The ‘Eileen Sylvia’ had a name change to ‘Harvest Moon’ before being taken over by a Vietnamese crew. Unfortunately she was run down by a passing ship in Princess Charlotte Bay, ending a very significant chapter in the history of commercial fishing.
The Mitchell family’s legacy remains as they were one of the true fishing pioneering families in Port Stephens and all agree they were champion folk.

Not so much a superhero blockbuster as it is a gritty crime saga, filmmaker Matt Reeves’ (Cloverfield Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) three-hour epic crafts a grim, noirish narrative world for a faithful iteration of the DC Comics vigilante. The Batman finds Bruce Wayne (Robert Pattinson, pictured) just two years into his crime-fighting journey – a younger man than we’ve seen him before, he’s still set on vengeance, but in a brooding, hot-headed kind-of way. The villain of the piece is the Riddler (Paul Dano), a deranged serial killer targeting Gotham City’s elite. The Batman is as close as it gets to a definitive adaptation for the caped crusader.

TUESDAY RED FLAG: MUSIC’S FAILED REVOLUTION
SBS, 8.35pm Intrepid investigator Marc Fennell (pictured), host of Framed The Kingdom and The Mission, will stop at nothing to unravel a stranger-thanfiction mystery. In this intriguing docuseries, Fennell and musician Ben Lee hark back to the turn of the millennium to delve into the rise and fall of Guvera, a music service that promised to revolutionise a multi-billion dollar recording industry, then under threat from piracy. A major player that once rivalled Spotify, the Gold Coast start-up seemed like the next big thing, until it wasn’t – vanishing with $180 million. Candid interviews with former staff, investors and industry experts make this compelling two-parter a must-watch.
