Water wise call by Council By Thomas O’KEEFE

WATER-WISE measures are the call by MidCoast Council, as we all should do our part to conserve water into the hotter months. Council asks residents to adopt the following measures while using water outdoors: Don’t spray in the middle of the day - Water your garden before 9am or after 4pm; Use a trigger nozzle, watering can or bucket – Only use the water you need; Wash your car or boat on the grass – Keep chemicals out of waterways; and Don’t hose down hard surfaces – Use a broom or a bucket and mop. “We know that residential properties account for around 65 percent of annual water use and the average household uses the majority of its water outside on the garden or lawn,” said Council’s Director of

Infrastructure and Engineering Services, Rob Scott. “We’re asking people to adopt these measures, not just because it’s dry at the moment, but because they’re yearround, practical and sustainable actions people can take.” Although the Viney Creek Aquifer is enormous, with 68 gigalitres of water stored within its underground strata, that water still requires processing for human consumption.

fire season of 2019-20, which will put more strain on the Viney Creek Aquifer, should the necessity arise again. There is, therefore, no licence to think our water is limitless. Water restrictions are not yet in force, however, as Mr Scott explained, “Water restrictions are triggered when the flows in our supply rivers fall below certain volumes and our storages can’t be kept full. “That doesn’t mean the situation won’t change quickly if we continue to experience little rainfall in the months ahead, and people should be actively trying to reduce their water use, which is why we’re encouraging everyone to adopt these new measures.”

DEER CRACKDOWN FROM Page 1

Council’s lethal feral controls over August and September. The operation has targeted the rural and open spaces surrounding South Forster, Diamond Beach and Old Bar, netting a total of 34 feral deer across the sites. “Deer are not native to Australia and cause extensive harm to our environment, the economy, and pose a significant public safety risk,” said Gerard Tuckerman, Council’s Natural Systems Manager. Landholders are encouraged to take control measures early, as feral deer are considered a pest animal, the same as rabbits and foxes. The very real danger of vehicle strikes is also on the rise, as the drier weather and uncontrolled population growth lead feral deer into residential areas. “Some of these animals weigh more than 250 kilograms, they can seriously injure road users in the event of a collision,” Mr Tuckerman explained. Feral deer have been spotted wandering the creek that traverses privately-owned grazing land along the Myall Way, between the Highway and Pindimar Road. Fencelines require regular maintenance, and should one of the feral deer locate a weak point,

then a vehicular strike on the only road in and out of Hawks Nest, Tea Gardens, Pindimar and Bundabah would become another deadly dodgem alley, adding another problem to its pothole moguls. Landholders are responsible for biosecurity on their own land, but support is available. Any landholders who can help contribute to the peri-urban program are encouraged to contact Council, while rural landholders can find useful resources from the NSW Local Land Services website. Residents are asked to report sightings to FeralScan via the app or online. “Reports help inform future control activities and assist Council, and the DPI with population estimates and hotspots,” Council says. “It’s everyone’s issue,” said Mr Tuckerman. “These animals cross boundaries, jump fences and even swim between islands, and feral deer populations increase at a rate of about 35 percent per year so the time to act is now.”

Feral deer run free along the watercourses near Myall Way and Pindimar Road.

The ‘FeralScan’ app has plenty of sub-categories, as we have plenty of pests invading our environment.

Families engaged in Court proceedings often experience a variety of stressors that can be exacerbated in the legal setting. In response, the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (FCFCOA) has launched the Court Dog Program in Melbourne. Therapy Dog Poppy, a fully trained court facility dog from Guide Dogs Victoria, commenced full time work with the Courts from 4 October 2023 by assisting litigants and children who are involved in family law proceedings in the Courts’ Melbourne registry, thanks to the support and generosity of the Victorian Bar and the Victorian Bar Foundation. The Chief Justice of the FCFCOA the Hon Will Alstergren said: “this is the first time that a therapy or facility dog has been used in Australian federal courts,

EDF Renewables and University of Newcastle partner for future energy jobs

q EDF Renewables Australia CEO Dave Johnson and University of Newcastle’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Alex Zelinsky are excited by the possibilities the MoU creates for research exchange and job creation in the region.

EDF Renewables Australia has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Newcastle to collaborate on research, education and innovation if EDF is successful in its application for a Feasibility License. EDF is a proponent vying to operate an offshore wind farm as part of the Federal Government’s Hunter offshore wind zone. The MoU is aptly timed, following the federal government's official declaration of an offshore wind zone off the Hunter coast in July this year by Federal Energy Minister, Chris Bowen. The agreement will see EDF explore collaboration with the University of Newcastle in areas such as geotechnical studies, structural design, corrosion protection for marine environments, coastal and offshore flora and fauna investigations, social planning and community engagement services. CEO of EDF Renewables Australia, Dave Johnson, said the company was thrilled to have the University of Newcastle join forces with them to supply the essential skills and pipeline of future employees for the project. “The development of the offshore wind

farm project will require the training and upskilling of workers across many areas of technical expertise. “We’re thrilled to be able to work with the University to ensure they can tailor their education to incorporate the types of knowledge and skills we need to successfully deliver the project. “Equally we’re committed to providing significant employment opportunities for the people of the Hunter region, many of which will come from the University of Newcastle,” said Mr Johnson. The University of Newcastle’s ViceChancellor Professor Alex Zelinsky said the University saw strong partnerships as an important part of supporting students and the region. “We are committed to being a University that is connected to our regions and provides students with an outstanding experience that sees them graduate as highly competent and employable graduates,” said Professor Zelinsky. “I am proud of our strong industry partnerships with organisations like EDF Renewables Australia that allow us to share our research capabilities with industry and give our students the opportunity to gain real-workplace experience on globally recognised projects that are happening right here in our region. “In our journey to clean energy technology we will not only need the

infrastructure, but also the workforce to support new industries. “This partnership will provide current students with career pathways that might not exist today, and it will also provide people in our existing workforce with opportunities to retrain and upskill for future industries.” Both EDF Renewables and the University recognise that the cooperative programs and activities that will be explored as part of the MoU will be of significant value to both parties. These initiatives support the new skill requirements and demand for labour the Newcastle Offshore Wind project will call for. EDF is looking forward to participating in research exchange initiatives and supporting research and development opportunities, including co-funded Higher Degree Research (HDR) scholarships. “EDF is committed to ensuring the best outcome for the people of the Hunter during the development and implementation of this project. “We have a passionate team of Newcastle locals that have been working towards harnessing wind as a renewable energy source for decades, and with the support of the University of Newcastle, we know we can make a marked difference to the clean energy sector and to the future employment opportunities for the region,” Mr Johnson said.

Barbaby Joyce calls on residents to take offshore wind fight to Canberra FROM Page 1 the stage, Mr Joyce described the push for renewable energy in Australia as a “cult”. “We all have the same problems in different areas,” Mr Joyce said, referencing other regional communities pushing back against renewables projects. “We have these people who just believe they have more rights over our life than we have over our own lives. “Cults don't listen to logic, they just do whatever they like.” Mr Joyce also expressed exasperation that the current Federal Government seems opposed to listening to the concerns of residents in impacted communities. “We have people in the New England who are being absolutely walked over, we have people in Nelson Bay who have been absolutely walked over, and to be quite frank, Mr Bowen and Mr Albanese are not listening, and we have to make them listen. “It is so frustrating when they keep on saying there are no problems there. “There are problems there, there are big bloody problems there. “The first mistake you make in politics is thinking you can walk all over people because they will kick you out of office.” Mr Joyce called on communities potentially impacted by offshore wind or other renewable projects to “work together”. “Reach out to the people of New England, reach out to the people of Rockhampton, reach out to the people of Gippsland, reach out to people up on the Cape - they all have the same problems. “Get together, and turn up on the front lawn in Canberra and your problems will soon be over.” Speakers throughout the morning covered a variety of topics, including a perceived lack of consultation, the visual amenity, and impacts on the environment, whales, fishing and tourism. Cheers of “Bugger off Bowen, the wind farms are going” rang sporadically through the 1500-plus crowd, with Federal Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen the target for much of the crowd’s displeasure. A key organiser and MC for Saturday’s rally was Newcastle and Port Stephens Game Fish Club president Troy Radford. “Our concerns are the lack of consultation period that the government actually had for us,” Mr Radford told NOTA. “It was a 65 day consultation period. “For a project this size it is inadequate. “There were 2000 submissions - 66 percent were against and yet the government still feels free to go ahead and pursue this project.” Mr Radford and his peers in the fishing community are also fighting to ensure transparency in the environmental impact process. “The other thing is that we are demanding that the environmental impact statements are done by transparent companies and not run by the companies who are proposing to do the projects,” Mr Radford said. “We hold major concerns that they could hide information and potentially wreck the environment.” Also taking to the stage on Saturday were Port Stephens One Nation spokesperson Mark Watson, One Nation MLC Tania Mihailuk, Nationals Member for Lyne Dr David Gillsespie and Mark Banasiak from the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party, among others. Mr Watson, who ran as the One Nation candidate for Port Stephens in the last state election, told NOTA the project lacked social licence. “The biggest concern I have is for the residents of Port Stephens,” he said. “What it is going to do to tourism.

“What it is going to do to small business. “There is no social licence, the impact studies haven’t been done yet, there hasn't been enough consultation and there is not enough communication with residents. “We need them to be able to have their say and speak up and tell the government what they want. “What they want is to not have this wind farm in Port Stephens.” Dr Gillespie, who represents an area covering from the Myall Coast to Port Macquarie, said he would stand alongside the people of Port Stephens in their fight against offshore wind development. “The project is a bad idea,” Dr Gillespie said. “It is in the wrong place and will have a huge impact on the environment. It is situated smack bang next to a cluster of NSW and national marine parks, whale migration route, and huge tourism blue economy with whale watching, fishing, and boating. “It will cost local tourism jobs. “It will be a navigation hazard for recreational and commercial shipping. “The grid connections will be an eyesore offshore and onshore through protected environmental areas. “I am supporting local people on the Myall Coast and Port Stephens in their opposition.” Notable local speakers included Frank Future, the founder of Imagine Cruises and a trailblazer in the whale watching and tourism industry. Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer also took to the stage, telling the crowd it was the “start of the fight, not the end of the fight”. “It is important we keep up the fight because without this grassroots campaign, we wouldn't be stopping this. “This must continue.” Multiple speakers expressed feeling a sense of betrayal from local Labor party representatives on the issue, a sentiment echoed by many in the crowd. On Friday night, Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington issued a statement to social media reaffirming her commitment to protecting Port Stephens’ best interests. The local MP also reminded residents that no offshore projects are currently underway. “I have heard from many people in Port Stephens about their concerns regarding the prospect of a possible wind farm project,” Ms Washington said. “To be clear, no wind farm proposal has been submitted, considered or approved. “Indeed, there are many steps to be taken over a number of years before any possible proposal is even made. “I absolutely love everything about Port Stephens, from our stunning environment to our beautiful community. “I have a strong track record of fighting for our unique marine, coastal and hinterland environments over many years. “And that will never stop. “If approval is sought for a wind farm off our coast in the future, our community will have an opportunity to assess the proposal and make submissions based on known facts. “Until then, and as always, Port Stephens is my priority.” Member for Newcastle Sharon Claydon also took to social media to promote the positives of bringing an offshore wind industry to the Hunter. “Wind energy represents an exciting opportunity for Newcastle. “Developing an offshore wind energy sector will not only help deliver more renewable energy and thus help the planet - it will also drive regional investment and create jobs. “The Hunter Offshore Wind Zone could create more than 3,000 jobs during construction and another 1,500 during

operation. “These are well-paid jobs in engineering, manufacturing and trades, created and supported by renewable energy. “For Newcastle, this means new jobs in the local manufacturing, construction, maritime, transport and logistics industries. “And it means continued growth of our vocational education and training pathways our TAFE and our university.” The Background In July, the Australian Government declared an area in the Pacific Ocean off the Hunter, as suitable for future offshore wind development. The declared Hunter area covers 1,854 square kilometres between the Central Coast and Port Stephens and is 20 km from the coast in the north and over 35 km from the coast in the south. The zone has the potential to generate up to five gigawatts of renewable wind energy, enough to power an estimated 4.2 million homes. The government believes offshore wind projects in the area will create up to 3,120 construction jobs and another 1,560 ongoing operational jobs. The period for developers to submit feasibility licence applications for proposed offshore wind projects in the Hunter area opened on 8 August 2023 and will close on 14 November 2023.

Offshore wind project commits to student scholarships

q (Back row) Sarah Guilfoyle of Oceanex Energy, Warwick Dawson and Dr Joss Kesby, University of Newcastle. (Front Row) Oliver Phelan, University of Newcastle and Emily Scivetti, Oceanex Energy.

THE Novocastrian Offshore Wind project has committed scholarship funding to support students at the University of Newcastle and their research into offshore wind and renewable energy options. Now in its second year, the Oceanex Energy Scholarship builds on the partnership with the University of Newcastle and represents an investment by Novocastrian Offshore Wind partners Oceanex Energy and Equinor into the next generation of offshore wind industry talent. This year’s recipient of the scholarship and Newcastle local, Oliver Phelan, is in his final year of study, completing a Bachelor of Renewable Energy Engineering. Oliver was awarded the scholarship in May and has since begun a research project exploring the mechanical loadings on offshore wind turbines in an Australian setting.

“This scholarship is supporting me to do the work that I am passionate about and make a real contribution to the offshore wind industry,” Mr Phelan said. “Once I’ve graduated, I would love to use my experience to help build renewable energy projects and set us on the right path for a sustainable energy generation future.” In an extension of the partnership with the University, Oceanex and the University of Newcastle have also formalised a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Under the MoU, the Novocastrian Offshore Wind Farm will explore collaboration with the University through a range of innovation, student engagement, careers and research opportunities. Andy Evans, Chief Executive Officer, Oceanex Energy said, “We are so pleased to continue and build on our partnership with the

University of Newcastle and help students access, learn and contribute to this fast growing industry. “Creating a sustainable offshore wind industry here in Newcastle relies on investment in local talent, knowledge and skills, and we’re making that a priority for each of our projects.” Thomas Hansen, Senior Director for Offshore Wind in Australia for Equinor said, "Equinor has a tradition of investing in the heroes of tomorrow. “We want to build and operate the Novocastrian Offshore Wind project for the long term, and that is dependent on talent like Oliver and his fellow students to join the emerging offshore wind industry and make this become a reality." Warwick Dawson, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Industry Engagement said the University was very proud of their industry relationships in the Hunter region. "We are proud to have

strong relationships with industry like Oceanex that not only have provided our students with scholarships and career placement opportunities but also enabled collaboration, utilising our facilities and multidisciplinary expertise," Mr Dawson said. “We are absolutely committed to the green

Call-out for ‘Buy My Wardrobe’ donations By Thomas O’KEEFE POP-UP Op Shop ‘Buy My Wardrobe’ will return as an essential feature at the Pindimar Markets, run by the Pearls of Port Stephens, offering the chance for some real bargains amidst the fun and excitement at the Markets on Saturday, 28 October. To be held within the shady walls of the Pindimar Fire Station on Koree Street, North Pindimar, a veritable case of ‘one person’s trash is another’s treasure’ is highly likely, but the Pearls need more donations to boost the charity drive. “Bring your pre-loved clothes and garments to sell for charity,” Pearls of Port Stephens Treasurer Kerry Patterson said. “It’s a great way to recycle, look after the environment,

and also help the needy, and not a cent of the proceeds goes to the Pearls – it all goes to jupiter, our selected charity this year.” jupiter is overseen by the registered charity ‘Caring for Our Port Stephens Youth’ (COPSY), and offers free counselling services for young people aged twelve to 25 years old, and living within the Port Stephens region. “Nothing is wasted, as anything left over after the Markets will be donated on to other charities,” Ms Patterson added. Self-described as “just a group of friends who meet once a month for lunch, donate our own money to a worthy cause,” the Pearls are a group of ladies who hail from all over the Port, and have been adding their marvellously charitable

energies to several local efforts for the last ten years, often with a focus on helping out women in domestic violence situations. Any clothes to be donated to the ‘Buy My Wardrobe’

PEOPLE who dump unwanted plants on local sand dunes risk destroying the dunes themselves, environmentalists have warned. President of Myall Koala and Environment Group Richard Streamer said, “This senseless and lazy act of dumping garden waste is done with no regard to our local environment which we all love.” Of the many and varied invasive weeds found in this area, the main culprits have been mother of millions, bitou bush, cassias and asparagus fern. But the most dangerous weed found along the dunes has been the agave plants, which are spreading after

being dumped by residents. Bitou Busters volunteers have been working to eradicate this popular ornamental garden plant from the dunes. As well as forcing out Australian plants and animals, their dangerous skin-piercing spikes and poisonous sap are risks to human safety. They have worked along The Boulevarde dunes at Jimmys Beach at Winda Woppa for most of this year. Small plants can be manually removed, but larger plants need to be cut off and the stumps treated with herbicide as they will re-shoot from any roots left in the ground. Once removed they are

transported to the local Waste Transfer Station to deal with. At the most recent weeding session, 150kgs of agave was removed. The sharp tip of an agave leaf easily penetrates the skin and immediately releases irritants that cause sudden pain and longlasting soreness, which is a significant hazard for people, pets and native animals. Mr Streamer is urging local gardeners to stop dumping their unwanted plants in the bush.

OPEN doors and a chance for demystification was available to the public at the Tea Gardens Masonic Centre on Saturday, 7 October on Myall Street. Recently consecrated as Lodge Myall 1058, Freemasons from the area interacted with curious citizens and visitors to explain the deep, long history of the Masonic movement, as well as to remind locally-based Masons that they do have a ‘daylight’ lodge in their area. The Freemasons proudly host one of the oldest, and largest, fraternal organisations in the world, the origins of which are lost to time and history, but stem from the ambitious legacies of medieval Europe.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

“It is understood that Freemasonry developed from the stonemasons who designed and constructed Europe’s castles and cathedrals,” Geoff Williams, Worshipful Master of Lodge Myall, told NOTA. “The workers would live on-site in ‘lodges’ and, as construction projects took years or decades, they would take on apprentices and teach their trade secrets to the next generation of journeymen.” The archaic nomenclature is indicative of those distant historical origins, as is the philosophy that the Masons seek to teach to their members, which, itself, stems from the biblical story of King Solomon’s Temple. Once standing in Jerusalem, the Temple was destroyed by the Babylonians in 587BC, but, according to official Freemason information, its story is

central to their teachings. “These days, we have more ‘speculative’ Masons than ‘operative’ ones,” Mr Williams explained, referring to the evolution through the centuries from literal stone-cutting to a more philosophical guidance, stating, “Our biggest project is to build good men. “We highlight the virtues of Temperance, Justice, Fortitude and Prudence, respect for women, benevolence and charity, as well as ‘relief’ in many forms, and are not exclusive of any religion, race, or sexual orientation, and religious and political matters are not discussed within Lodge.” Locally speaking, the Masons’ have a concerted focus on assisting charity and have chosen to devote their resources to very useful volunteer groups such as the Free Clinic Bus.

Hazard emergency information By Thomas O’KEEFE

ALL-HAZARD Emergency Cards have been delivered to houses and businesses along the Myall Way, reminding all of the need to be prepared, and whom to call when the worst occurs. Joanne Pearce, leader of the Myall Way Emergency

Planning Group (MWEPG) explains, “The Myall Way Emergency Plan covers any community or property that has the Myall Way as its exit to the Pacific Highway, encompassing Hawks Nest, Tea Gardens, Pindimar and Bundabah.” All four regions stand a real risk of being cut off

from the Highway, and so the first recommendation in the event of an emergency is to leave early. The All-Hazard Cards clearly display information tailored to each area, naming the Places of Last Resort for bushfires and tsunamis if Myall Way is cut off. Both North and South Pindimar, and Bundabah, are rated at the highest possible danger risk for bushfires

this year, prompting recent efforts like the Pindimar Minderoo Muster. Residents should also have their Emergency Ready-Plan sorted and ready to enact. Sponsored by the Hawks Nest Tea Gardens Progress Association (HNTGPA), and put together by the MWEPG in consultation with the Emergency Services, the cards include emergency numbers on the back, as well as a list of several useful and potentially life-saving apps. “We will be running a Pindimar meeting soon,

and are open to meeting local community groups to discuss the Plan and the House-Hub strategy, like that considered for Bundabah,” Ms Pearce added. House-Hub is a communication network that enables rapid transfer of information to the community in situations of risk. Any Myall Wayconnected resident or business that did not receive an All-Hazard Card

can contact the HNTGPA, the Pindimar Bundabah Community Association, or, even better, attend the emergency services fair at Pindimar Markets on Saturday, 28 October, where they will be available.

Community Award Scheme now open By John SAHYOUN

APPLICATIONS are now open for the Community Building Partnership Program. Myriad local organisations have benefited from this program over many years in funding projects that seek to improve their local community infrastructure. The program secures

investment for local infrastructure projects that aim to deliver positive social, environmental, and recreational outcomes, while promoting community participation and inclusion. Member for Myall Lakes Tanya Thompson said “any funding for Myall Lakes is welcome”. “It’s great to see that the

Government has elected to keep this highly successful program and it’s about those little projects that make a big difference in our community.” There is up to $400,000 available for each state electorate. Eligible community groups and local councils can apply for grants between $5000 and $150,000.

Water works tour By Thomas O’KEEFE

DOZENS of citizens from across Tea Gardens, Hawks Nest and surrounds are now much more aware of where their precious water originates, and its flushing destination, thanks to a rare opportunity presented by MidCoast Council. Filling the Tea Gardens Public School hall, locals witnessed a very comprehensive presentation by Chenxi Zeng, MidCoast Council’s Manager of Water Management and Treatment, covering the ins and outs of our primary water source at Viney Creek Aquifer, and the basic process by which it is made potable. The rapt audience also learnt the fundamentals of waste-water treatment at Hawks Nest Sewage Treatment Plant, enjoying ample opportunity to ask

some watery questions. A chartered coach conveyed everyone firstly to the Sewage Treatment Plant, located just north of Hawks Nest Golf Club, just off Mungo Brush Road and down a secluded track, lined with beautiful towering virgin eucalypt forest. Merely a few hundred metres from the beach,

Projects between $5000 and $20,000 are generally the most successful, with $20,000 being the average grant. It is just a matter of putting forward an idea that your organisation believes will benefit the community. Bulahdelah Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Vice President Kevin Carter said, “We have been able to use this

grant fund for many things over the past couple of years including tourist facilities, improvements to the Rural Transaction Centre and more recently the establishment of the studio for Myall Coast Radio here in Bulahdelah. “Without this funding we would be struggling to improve our community assets.”

Fishin’ and Stories

By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE SPRING! - this is a great time of the year although I really can't complain too much about what has been a remarkably mild winter. These coming months are the most exciting on my fishing calendar. Fish and crabs are arriving for the summer season while others are just about to pack up and leave because it’s getting too warm. Some fish enjoy it so much here in Port Stephens that they will stick around for the entire year. In other words there is a bit of a fish traffic jam in the Port, on the beaches, off the rocky foreshore, over the outer reefs and around the outer islands. The fishing here is fantastic. A warm welcome to our holiday makers and weekend visitors, many of you I am sure, have packed a few rods and reels for the family fishing excursions. This may well be your first experience of fishing inside the boundaries of a marine park. In 2007 the Port Stephens – Great Lakes Marine Park was declared, much to the concern of some recreational fishermen, who were of the opinion that the declaration would mean the end of fishing in Port Stephens. Sixteen years down the track and Port Stephens remains the iconic fishing haven that it has been for over 150 years. The exciting waters in and around Port Stephens continue to cater for all levels of interest and expertise, from the danglers, who prefer to gather on the jetties and breakwalls, to the “full on” anglers who are keen for the challenges offered outside the harbour.

q Joey Trinkler can catch big whiting and has been able to catch sea worms since he was seven years old.

q A true flathead champ Wayne Coles from Lemon Tree Passage.

To give you a basic idea - the Marine Park extends from Birubi, in the northern corner of Stockton Beach to Cape Hawke near Forster. The Park extends three nautical miles to sea and includes Smiths Lake, the Myall Lakes and the entire Port Stephens system and all its feeder streams. Simply, every drop of water that you can see is a part of the Port Stephens – Great Lakes Marine Park. What you want to know is can we go fishing and boating in a Marine Park? The answer is – yes you can. In fact you are encouraged to. It is however very important that you realise that approximately seventeen percent of that huge Marine Park area has been set aside as a Sanctuary Zone. A No Take Zone, where it is illegal to catch fish, crabs, lobsters, squid or to remove anything at all. Thousands of free maps are available to you at Bait and Tackle outlets, Tourist Information Centres, news agencies, NSW Fisheries and the National Parks and Marine Parks offices on the waterfront in Teramby Street, Nelson Bay.

These maps mark the Sanctuary Zones and the restrictions imposed. Can you go into a Sanctuary Zone? The answer is – yes you can, as long as you don’t attempt to take anything out. Please familiarise yourself with the restrictions as I don’t want you to lose your hard earned dollar in fines. That reminds me. Make sure that you and your gang have a Fishing License.

did not think it would be anything, although it was very dull at the time, and blowing fresh from the south-east, with a moderate sea. “Then he flashed good-night, and I returned the compliment…" All seemed as it should be and Mr Gidley thought little more of the passing ship. The Macleay had departed Newcastle for the Clarence River and Grafton with a cargo of coal, three horses and other cargo. On what turned out to be a fateful night helmsman Charles Petterson sensed danger and shouted that he saw breaking waves but Officer on Duty Henry Goldsmith declared it to be a "school of mullet". Petterson attempted to steer away from the approaching reef but it was too late. The Macleay had hit Boondelbah Island and sank some ten minutes later. The seventeen man crew attempted to use whatever was

floating to assist them but only two survived. Charles Petterson from Finland, who was at the wheel carrying out the mates orders when the Macleay was wrecked and William Swanney, a Scot, the only survivors of the disaster, arrived at Sydney by steamer Hunter, from Newcastle on Tuesday. Bodies were recovered on the beach along with that of a horse which had been attacked by sharks.

SO, WHAT’S BITIN’? Inside the Port the fishing scene is hot and getting hotter. Big dusky flatheads are drifting into the harbour from the rich feeder streams that meander through the mangrove forests at the back of the port. Thumpers, keen to attack pilchards or plastics, are waiting for you in the Karuah River, Tilligerry Creek, Bagnalls Beach, Shoal Bay and Jimmys Beach and the Myall River on the north side. The duskies have plenty of company with whiting, bream and luderick cruising along the breakwalls. Mulloway are ravenous in the

deep water around Middle Island, Soldiers Point and the Karuah Bridges. Blue swimmer crabs will arrive in droves any day now. It's time for the beaches to load up with summer whiting, fishcakes (salmon) and scary mulloway. Savage worms are by far the best all round bait on a rising tide. The most popular and productive beaches are Stockton, One Mile, Fingal and Hawks Nest. Outside the heads the snapper fishing is sensational from Fishermens Bay to Seal Rocks. You will find me off the Outer Light at Fingal - however Fishermens Bay, Boulder Bay and the outer islands Boondelbah, Little Island and Broughton are special spots. Sand flathead are going crackers on all the popular drifts, particularly One Mile, Little Island and Broughton north. For a more accurate description and GPS marks drop in to any of the local Bait and Tackle outlets. If you see a beat up, little tin boat named “Stinkpot” floating around Fingal - it’s me! Give me a wave and come and say “G’day” – I’m never in a hurry.

Stinker’s History: The wreck of the Macleay near Boondelbah By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE

FOR lighthouse keepers there was no relief from the job at hand as any change in weather conditions for the worst heightened the chance of another disaster as was the case with the wreck of the Macleay. As written in The Gloucester Advocate, Saturday 21 October 1911. "In a report to the secretary to the Department of Navigation, dated October 18, the acting principal keeper at the Point Stephens lighthouse (Mr A.F.W. Gidley) makes the following comments in reference to the wrecked steamer Macleay. “She passed by here going north at 7pm and gave her name by flashing signals. “The remark was also flashed that he who was signalling at the time thought that it was going to be a dirty night...

OPINION & LETTERS

Dorin’s Draws By Paul DORIN

The Write Direction By John BLACKBOURN

Woke thinking

READING by Lynne Miles: Proverbs 14:34"Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a disgrace to any people."

No third Voice please DEAR News Of The Area,

I WRITE regarding the letter by Peter Outhwaite (NOTA 5/10/23), ‘False claims on National Indigenous Australians Agency’. My letter (NOTA 28/9/23), ‘Is another Voice really necessary?’, correctly reflected what I was saying. I challenge the heading used on the “response”. Firstly, I said that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders had two voices already – their voice as voters and their voice through the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA). Secondly, why would the readers care where the information came from if the content is correct. You infer that it came from Sky News. It came from me googling “organisations that help indigenous peoples in Australia”. The NIAA website came up in the list and because it was a government organisation, I researched that. Thirdly, you refer to the RMIT Fact Lab, saying there are differences between NIAA and the proposed voice to Parliament. Yes, I gave the website so readers could check all of my following paragraphs which were taken directly from the website (except the last for obvious reasons) and assess the difference. I reported the staff composition. You infer that the NIAA isn’t independent because it answers to government. So it consults across Ministerial

portfolios and puts things to government who says yay or nay. The Voice, being independent, puts things to government who says yay or nay. Fourthly, you say that the NIAA can be abolished by executive order. But at the present time, it exists and the Referendum is taking place now. What I was asking readers to consider is why ATSI should have a third voice. Doug Connor (Editor, NOTA) wrote a piece in Port Stephens NOTA 5/10/23 entitled “YES OR NO?”. In this piece he quotes Mr Albanese’s comment, “...the form of recognition that Indigenous Australians have asked for is just a non-binding Advisory Committee to give advice, to give a Voice, so that they can be consulted on matters that affect them”. And the Government will say yay or nay. So where is the press? I haven’t seen any articles informing readers that the National Indigenous Australians Agency exists, questioning why the Government hasn’t outlined what it is and what it does. The composition of the Voice Committee will be an enormous and unwieldy group if all Indigenous groups are represented, or aren’t they going to be? So again, NO third voice please! Kind regards, Shayne FULLER, Tea Gardens.

BEING ‘woke’ could be described as a state of awareness only achieved by those dumb enough to find injustice in everything except their own behaviour. Never more is it more obvious than in various government and local government bodies’ thinking in relation to the housing supply shortage and their latest plan to solve the issue. The latest manifestation of their guessed-at plan is to levy a turnover tax on bed and breakfast (B&B) type of accommodation. Like most of these left-wing brain fades, the Victorian Government has decided to levy a 7.5 percent turnover tax on people using short term, mostly overnight, accommodation. Since then, a number of NSW Councils have clutched at this straw and are known to be looking at trying to introduce a form of the Victorian tax grab by putting a time limit on the number of days each year that B&B operators can utilise their facility. What a woke response that is. It has no chance of working but seems to convey the thought that these organisations are doing something in order to solve the housing supply shortage. Not for one moment will the penalisation of owners and visitors work. The gross misunderstanding by authorities of what B&B accommodation is simply bamboozles me. What we are talking about is a night’s bed for one or two people with breakfast the next morning thrown in. B&B operators neither want nor expect a 100 percent rental utilisation.

It is an available convenience for the owners as well as the users to supply a short-term need and is not seen as a permanent residential opportunity. By taxing that convenience these authorities hope to drive the suppliers into offering permanent rentals on a full-time basis. Sorry guys, that will never happen. If you spent ten minutes thinking about the B&B market, surely you would come to a more rational conclusion than a tax opportunity. Coastal and non-urban Councils need to think about how taxing B&B operators and their users will affect their local tourism industry. But of course, these woke organisations are never ones to let thinking affect how they do business. In many cases these authorities are confused by some of the online booking groups who lump genuine B&B premises in with available holiday homes for rent on a weekly basis. Holiday rentals are not B&Bs and operate for a completely different set of circumstances and opportunities. Mostly they are owned by absentee city dwellers for their own use, which helps them get out of the cities and into the bush or on to the coast in order to provide their families with an improvement in lifestyle opportunity. Letting these premises on a permanent basis is seldom the reason for owning their holiday homes and in many cases these residences are located in areas where there is little or no available work that permanent renters would need to pay that rent. They operate on the basis of higher dollar rentals for a shorter number of weeks each year, thus availing themselves of the opportunity to use that home on many of the unrented weeks that occur. A sound reason for generating higher income than is available by permanent rental but gaining the opportunity for free self-use. The woke thinking of these disconnected government authorities never ceases to confound logic, but it is probably just a knee-jerk reaction to have voters think that they are actually doing something positive to solve the property supply issue.

The Voice is about human rights

DEAR News Of The Area,

FUNDAMENTALLY, the referendum question this Saturday is asking everyone to acknowledge that First Nations people occupied this land before European settlement. It is also asking whether we value their continuing presence in the Australian

community today, and want their life prospects to improve in the future. It is not about race and division, it is about human rights. I am ignoring the fear mongering and party politics, and voting YES Regards, Gordon SUTCLIFFE, Hawks Nest.

LADIES swung away in aid of cancer charity at the Hawks Nest Golf Club on Tuesday, 26 September. A lovely spring morning saw 71 current- and pastplaying ladies arrive in support of cancer charities, a few ‘over-dressed’ and in decorated carts, forming an ocean of pinks (Breast) and teals (Ovarian) atop the practice putting green. “It was great to see them all catching up with old friends and enjoying themselves,” Elsa Jones told NOTA. The Drop-Out Ambrose

had a few twists, including the option to purchase a $2 metre-long ribbon, allowing three free mulligans along the course. From 8:30am, fun ensued as the ladies swept the course from the shotgun start, then retired inside the Clubhouse to tables decorated with pink golf balls on tees in sandfilled glasses, and special cancer coasters. Many teams scored miraculously low on the 18th hole, jumping at the option to donate $8 more to have Golf Pro Andrew McCormack smack their balls over the dam and against the headwinds, though he surely

did not mind the chance to show off. The Golf Club’s Cafécatered lunch included sandwiches and delicious small cakes, as well as tea and coffee, followed by more games of ‘Putt for Dough - $2 a Go!’, the 80s Club, and plenty of raffle prizes to go around. ‘Putt for Dough’ winner Loretta Baker, who no longer plays, reminded all that one never loses the touch, while Di Rumble Dickson and Pamela Keegan took out the 80s Club. “Thanks to Emily for coming along, organising and taking photographs and to all other ladies who lent a hand

Mad Hatters at Estia By Thomas O’KEEFE

SILLINESS reigned inside at Estia Tea Gardens, as residents and staff celebrated ‘Mad Hatter Day’ on 6 October. Derived from the pricetag of the Mad Hatter’s hat in Alice and Wonderland, which read “10/6”, or ten shillings and sixpence, another interpretation can be the North American reading of ‘October 6th” – a good-enough excuse to celebrate the silly side of life.

The staff and residents at Estia Tea Gardens were more than happy to oblige the spirit of Lewis Carroll’s characters, tumbling down the rabbit-hole and dressing up to enjoy a delightful high tea in the JB room, wonderfully transformed into the March Hare’s house. It was six o’clock all day as some rose to play flamingo-croquet with regular volunteer Pat Burnett, while others attempted to befuddle ‘Alice’, or be befuddled by

Not to be outdone, Lenny as the Queen of Hearts was quick to order a few beheadings, however, luckily, none of the butter knives were sharp enough to manage the task. “Estia puts on big, special activities like this all the time for the residents, as well as regular ones,” Peta Kidd, Lifestyle CoOrdinator at Estia, told NOTA. “We have a loaded calendar of events and special days throughout q Estia’s Lifestyle Activities team (LR) Lenny (Queen of Hearts), Peta (Cheshire Cat), Karen (Alice) and Cathriona (Mad Hatter #1).

among many on the day. Cathriona, also from the Lifestyle Activities team, said it was “an amazing role, you go home having put a smile on their faces”. While it may seem odd that they all took one day out of the year to set aside for silliness, as the Mad Hatter said, “You can't take less – it’s very easy to take more than nothing."

Karuah Roos salute Knights premiership winning NRLW stars

By Chris KARAS

DUAL international Shanice Parker was the talk of the town when Newcastle Knights secured back to back NRLW premierships at Sydney’s Accor Stadium earlier this month. Local rugby league pundits marvelled at the efforts of the Kiwi Ferns centre after the Knights edged out Gold Coast Titans 24-18 in a pulsating Grand Final. The victory marked a triple treat for Parker – a third womens title after also previously helping the Sydney Roosters to premiership honours in 2019. Cheering the loudest were the Karuah Roos fraternity where the former Wallaroo served a stint last season in the Newcastle Maitland Regional Community competition after giving birth to her son Jakari. “The club is very proud of

Shanice’s achievements and we congratulate the Knights on bringing the NRLW trophy back to the Hunter region,” Roos president Daniel Evans told News Of The Area. “We were fortunate enough to have her at our club last year as she returned to rugby league after becoming a mum and were extremely grateful to have played a small part in her journey,” quipped Evans. “It has been awesome to watch Shanice solidify herself as a world class player and she is a truly amazing role model for the next generation,” he stated. Shanice, who scored an early try in the Knights’ Grand Final triumph, is the daughter of former Australian Jillaroos forward Danielle Parker and grew up in Perth. The excitement machine played her early rugby league with the Willagee Bears before transitioning to rugby at the age of fifteen.

An elusive back with sharp footwork, the talented Parker shone in Sevens rugby before being drafted into the Wallaroos’ top squad and spent three seasons with the NSW Waratahs. She returned to rugby league in 2018 and helped the North Sydney Bears win the NSWRL Womens

The competition is open to anyone; it's a 9 hole stroke. Want to have a short game, want to meet new people?

An appreciative Evans also paid tribute to another triple title warrior in skilful Knights hooker Olivia Higgins. “The Roos would like to say a massive thank you to Olivia for nominating the Karuah Joeys as the junior

club to receive an NRL grant on the back of the Knights Grand Final victory,” said Daniel. “Olivia is a Port Stephens girl with a lot of family ties to Karuah - her grandfather Hilton O’Connor was a former legendary Roos player and Waratah-Mayfield great and we and the Joeys are extremely grateful and can’t thank her enough,” he added.

THE NEWSREADER

ABC, 8.30pm

It’s Australia Day 1988 and not only are Prince Charles and Princess Diana in the country, but there’s a reenactment of the First Fleet sailing into Sydney Harbour. In tonight’s electric season two ﬁnale, there’s not only an abundance of ceremony and pomp for newsreaders Dale (Sam Reid) and Helen (Anna Torv) to digest, but also their complicated personal feelings. This exceptional homegrown series may be wrapping up, but viewers can rest assured a third season has already been given the green light: it’s no surprise given the ﬁnesse and quality of this ’80s-set delight. As Helen contemplates a lucrative overseas contract, the promise of more to come makes it even more gratifying.

Host of upcoming quiz show Jeopardy! Australia, Stephen Fry is many things: a comedian, an actor, a director, a writer and even a narrator on a children’s show (it’s Pocoyo, in case you’re wondering). But is this industrious thespian now aspiring to be David Attenborough, too? Fry is unmistakably muscling in on the celebrated naturalist’s territory here as he explores the majesty of Earth and how its creatures are impacted by the seasons. While Fry doesn’t possess the poetic turn of words of Attenborough, the incredible footage from more than 60 locations almost makes up for it. This four-episode series begins with winter and a polar bear smartening up its cub.

GEORGE CLARKE’S AMAZING SPACES

ABC TV PLUS, 9.20pm

British architect George Clarke possesses a boyish, earnest charm that infuses his long-running series with an easygoing ﬂair. As he returns tonight with an 11th season, this convivial antithesis to Grand Designs celebrates innovative thinking on a small scale: not everyone has the means to commission an architect to build a sprawling mansion, but anyone can be inspired to renovate a train carriage or a boat and have some fun with it. Tonight, Clarke embarks on an emotional journey when he sends the caravan he renovated on the series 10 years ago to the scrap heap to make way for a new project in the form of a caravan set to be reborn in stunning arts-and-crafts style. Clarke also takes an inspiring trip to Israel. 1310

Queen of the Mountain By John SAHYOUN QUEEN of the Mountain is an annual women's bowling event that tests the best of the best with players coming from far afield to Bulahdelah in the hope of gaining the crown. Under clear blue skies 26 teams played out this special triple contest. “I was overwhelmed by the response to our flyer which was sent by email and left whenever we visited other clubs or they came to us,” said Penny Bonner, Secretary of Bulahdelah Women's Bowling Club. Teams were fielded from the Lower North Coast district comprising Forster, Bulahdelah, Taree West, Harrington, Old Bar and Tuncurry Forster Sporties.

Visiting teams from outside our area included Warners Bay, Karuah, Nelson Bay, Tea Gardens, Soldiers Point, Fingal Bay, North Haven and East Maitland. “Many of these clubs look forward to visiting Bulahdelah as I was receiving enquiries before our flyers had actually gone out. “It is obvious our Queen of the Mountain Gala is very popular as our lists were full by the beginning of August and I had a reserve list of eight,” said Mrs Bonner. The first game 15 ends were played in the morning session and the planned second game of 15 ends were reduced to ten as the women had a great time socialising over lunch. After some fierce competition Soldiers Point were the eventual winners CONTINUED Page 16
