Children’s Australia Day races to be hotly contested

By Sandra BOURKE

START training for the fun children’s races planned for the Lion’s Australia Day BBQ, Thursday 26 January, at Moira Parade Reserve (Pelican Park), Hawks Nest.

The races are the Egg and Spoon Race (with ping pong balls), Three-Legged Race (in pairs), Sack Race and the team Tug-of-War.

The Lions will be providing all the equipment, so children and their families can easily come along and join in the races.

“The weather forecast is clear with some clouds, so come along and enjoy the Australia Day morning by the Myall River,” said

SUB-BRANCH

THE Tea Gardens RSL subBranch and Auxiliary have launched a search for the

children and teachers who first designed and painted the beautiful veterans

mural at Anzac Park in Tea Gardens. In July 2022, the

longstanding mural was damaged, in an act of mindless vandalism

described at the time by RSL sub-Branch Secretary Jenny Ross-Henry as “disgusting”.

With the damage now repaired, the sub-Branch

“The Lions welcome the opportunity to celebrate Australia Day again with our community.

“It has been two years since our last one, so it is a good time for the kids to learn and practice these races at home just for some school holiday fun.”

In addition to their much-loved Breakfast BBQ, the Lions will be fundraising by selling raffle tickets, hosting a ‘Guess the Lollies in the Jar’ competition, and selling yummy homemade jam drops.

The Lions ensure 100 percent of funds raised go back into helping the community.

The stage will be up featuring great music by DJ ALLAN as well as the Australia Day formalities:

· 8.00am: BBQ Breakfast starts

· 9.00am: Flag Raising Ceremony

· 9.30am: Presentation – Citizen Of The Year

· 10.30am: Children’s Games and Races

Moira Parade Reserve is a beautiful riverside park with children’s playground, parking, boat ramp, and toilets.

It also has a small sandy beach that is home to lots of pelicans, hence the local name of Pelican Park.

Happy Australia Day!

Raptor Squad takes up permanent home in the Hunter

A MUSCLED up NSW Police Force’s Raptor Squad will now have permanent bases in regional NSW, expanding to the state’s Northern and Southern regions to target and dismantle organised criminal networks.

The launch of the Raptor North and Raptor South squads will deliver an extra 30 staff, comprising investigators, Operations Support Group (OSG) operatives, and Traffic and Highway Patrol officers, to build on NSW’s crackdown on organised crime and criminal networks.

Deputy Premier, Minister for Regional NSW and Minister for Police Paul Toole said the Hunter-based Raptor North and the Illawarra-based Raptor South will continue to expand the proactive and disruptive tactics employed by the Sydney-based Raptor Squad.

“The Raptor name has become synonymous with dismantling organised crime in this State. Crime knows no boundaries, and as our regional communities continue to grow.

“It is critical resources are directed to where they need to go to disrupt these networks,” Mr Toole said.

“Since July, we’ve boosted total Raptor numbers by 30 with Police now able to mobilise a Raptor North team of 29 dedicated positions and Raptor South of 25 positions.

“These squads are sending a clear message to organised crime networks thinking they can slip under the radar or

spread their tentacles in the region: ‘Raptor is watching and the only part of the regions they’ll see is the inside of one of our prisons’.”

The Raptor Squads will work closely with the Sydney-based unit, along with additional resources, including the National Anti-Gang Squad (NAGS), NSW Crime Commission, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, and other government partner agencies.

NSW Police Deputy Commissioner Investigations and Counter Terrorism David Hudson said the expansion of the Raptor Squad demonstrates how having a highlyvisible police presence can disrupt the criminal activities of organised groups.

“Our regional residents need and deserve the same crackdown on criminal groups that their Sydney neighbours get, and we are delivering that with Raptor North and South,” Deputy Commissioner Hudson said.

“Our intelligence suggests that more proactive operations in the Northern and Southern regions of our state are needed to disrupt these group’s activities – we will not apologise for our strong stance on gangrelated activity in this state.

“Raptor North and South will work closely with region Operation Support Groups, with the Region Enforcement Squads and local police to suppress violent behaviour and criminal activity on our streets.”

State Crime Commander, Assistant Commissioner Michael Fitzgerald said the

Raptor Squad has a proven high-impact approach to targeting criminal groups and having regional bases will simply build on that success.

“Since Strike Force Raptor’s inception in 2009 and its establishment as a standalone squad in 2021, officers have made more than 7,500 arrests across the state and laid almost 20,000 charges for a variety of offences, ranging from the most serious and violent through to traffic and consorting,” Assistant Commissioner Fitzgerald said.

“Officers have executed more than 1,400 search warrants and seized almost 3,000 firearms, and close to 1,500 knives, swords, tasers and other dangerous weapons.

“Importantly, we have seized more than $20 million in cash, hundreds of kilos of drugs, and other proceeds of crime, which hits these groups where it hurts most –their profits. The Hunter and Illawarra communities can be confident a permanent presence of the Raptor Squad in the regions will ensure a rapid response to any organised criminal activity impacting on their safety.”

Strike Force Raptor was established in 2009, before becoming the standalone Raptor Squad in 2021.

The command conducts proactive investigations and intelligence-based, high-impact policing operations to prevent and disrupt conflicts, and dismantle any network engaged in serious organised criminal activity.

are looking forward to installing an explanation photo board near the mural - highlighting the history of the mural at the park.

The sub-Branch and Auxiliary have been working hard finalising ANZAC Day plans, and hope to invite the original children and teachers who contributed to the mural to partake in the celebrations.

“On the day we will be unveiling a beautiful photo board, donated by Ken Henry and Shona Howarth, which explains the history

of the mural at the park,” said Jenny.

“The children and teachers involved in the original artwork for this mural we hope will be our honoured guests on ANZAC Day 2023.

“We have the names of the sixteen children but because of privacy restrictions cannot find their current addresses.

“Please, if you know any of them and/or the teachers ask them to write to: Tea Gardens RSL S/B and Auxiliary, Working Committee, P.O.Box 44 Hawks Nest 2324 or email teagardensrsl@ gmail.com,” she said.

The sub-Branch are also calling for submissions of photographs or historic information regarding local veterans or the Tea Gardens RSL to be included in a time capsule.

“The working committee, consisting of Kevin McInerney, Lois McShane, Annette Taylor and Margaret Munright, have taken delivery of a huge time capsule and an even bigger rock to be placed at ANZAC Park to honour the Veterans of Tea Gardens and the participants of the last big march before Covid, held to commemorate the 100 year anniversary for the end

of WW1 on 11 November 2018,” said Jenny.

“The crosses given to

most school students in the area and placed in a ‘poppy’ garden on that day will be included in the time capsule.”

The time capsule is to be opened on 11 November 2068, the 150th anniversary of the end of WW1.

“If any residents have historical photos etc., relating to Tea Gardens RSL, formed in 1951, or details of our past Veterans, we would be thrilled to include those in the capsule,” Jenny said.

The sub-Branch are also keen to inform the community that the rules for becoming a member of the RSL have changed.

“Now, Service

memberships are for any men or women who served in the Defence Force, while Affiliate members can be anyone who has or had a relative who was in the Defence Force or are Firefighters, Ambulance, Hospital or Police members.”

NSW EPA releases first Climate Change Policy and Action Plan

THE NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has released its first Climate Change Policy and Action Plan 2023-26, outlining a set of actions that aim to help NSW reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

NSW EPA Chief Executive Officer Tony Chappel said the plan provides a roadmap for how the state’s environmental regulator will address the causes and consequences of climate change.

“This plan means for the first time in Australia, there will be a comprehensive approach around emissions reduction pathways,” Mr Chappel said.

“Using our robust framework, we will treat greenhouse gas emissions like any other pollutant that we regulate and by doing so, support the decarbonisation, transformation and growth of the NSW economy.”

Mr Chappel said all parts of NSW are already feeling the very real, costly and devastating impacts of climate change.

“From unprecedented fires through to recent extensive flood events across regional NSW, each of

these disasters is a sobering reminder of the escalating consequences of rising greenhouse emissions.

“We must improve our resilience to the impacts of climate change and this plan will see significant work led by the EPA to achieve this.”

As it operationalises climate policy across the economy, the EPA will establish advisory groups for various industry sectors to help inform and co-design actions and subsequent targets.

Mr Chappel said the organisation would not take a ‘one size fits all’ approach to setting targets because no two industries are the same, nor are the climate challenges they face.

“Our focus is on enabling and supporting best practice and building collaborative processes which ensure any actions taken by the EPA are meaningful, feasible and cost-effective,” Mr Chappel said.

“To seriously combat climate change, we cannot do it alone and these groups will provide valuable information on gaps, risks and the opportunities that need to be solved or considered.

Billy doesn’t

“They’ll also help NSW capture the immense opportunities that come with a net-zero economy, such as growth in hydrogen, green steel and metals, green ammonia, clean energy, the circular economy and regenerative agriculture.

“The EPA is committed to supporting industry, business, our regulatory partners and the community in transitioning to a more sustainable and prosperous future.”

For the first time, the Action Plan treats carbon dioxide as a deadly pollutant that must be regulated.

The EPA will establish a more accurate database for carbon pollution that must be considered before granting licences and developments permission to emit carbon.

This is the first time that the Government has adopted a policy to address fossil fuel industry carbon emissions.

Greens MP and spokesperson for the climate, Sue Higginson, said, “This move by the EPA is well overdue and experts have been calling for this recognition of carbon dioxide as a deadly pollutant for decades.

“Communities that have been devastated by the climate induced black summer fires and recent floods have finally managed to drag the Government to recognise the dangers of reckless carbon emissions.”

Ms Higginson said the plan lacks the regulation and compliance powers required to “get the worst carbon polluters brought under control”.

“This will mean that the worst polluters in the state will still only be under voluntary requirements to pursue reductions of their deadly carbon pollution.

“Voluntary reductions are a high-risk strategy when we consider the cost that climate change is already having, let alone the catastrophic future that fossil fuels are creating.

“Coal and gas companies cannot be trusted to voluntarily pursue low emission profits and communities will continue to pay the price through climate induced extreme weather events.”

While heralding the plan as a step in the right direction, Ms Higginson said the NSW Government is still failing to “acknowledge the

deadly serious nature of carbon emissions”.

“We need a strong, mandatory system that punishes carbon polluters for the damage that their emissions create,” she said.

“We need caps brought in for carbon emissions and a guarantee that no increases for carbon pollution will be licensed, these emissions are killing people and we need to recognise that.”

Farmers for Climate Action, an organisation with a network of more than 2900 farmers across NSW, has welcomed the release of the plan.

In particular, that the NSW EPA will more deeply consider climate change when it provides approvals and advice on planning matters.

Spokesperson Peter Holding, a third-generation farmer from the southwest slopes of NSW, said considering climate change impacts when planning made perfect sense.

"The farmers who grow Australia's food are being smashed by repeat flooding, fires and drought being made worse by climate change," Mr Holding said.

about the events they are creating on the MidCoast, visit https://haveyoursay. midcoast.nsw.gov.au/ace

"Insurance mostly does not cover events such as floods and is steadily becoming unaffordable.

“It makes sense to consider this reality when assessing projects which could contribute to making this worse.

“It also makes sense to have the most polluting businesses reduce their emissions.

"The disasters we're now seeing are unnatural because they are largely man-made."

Mr Holding said regional Australia was already becoming the biggest beneficiary from emissions reduction.

"Huge renewable energy projects are delivering thousands of jobs to regional Australia, with tens of thousands more in the pipeline.

“Community benefits funds from these projects can breathe new life into towns with upgrades to local facilities.

“We are already seeing battery manufacturing companies setting up in regional areas.

"Farmers will also receive vital income during drought from carbon credits, and this is a huge positive for farmers if the market is properly executed,” he said.

Enjoy the water and limit risks this Australia Day

ROYAL Life Saving NSW/ ACT is urging men to know their limits and avoid taking unnecessary risks this Australia Day.

On public holidays the major known contributors to drowning fatalities combine to double the risk of drowning.

With 77 percent of Australia’s 22/23 summer’s drowning toll being men swimming in open waterways,

Royal Life Saving s calling for double caution.

Craig Roberts, General Manager, Drowning Prevention Royal Life Saving NSW/ ACT, said three of the major contributing factors to drowning fatalities are gender, alcohol and location, with alcohol contributing to 35 percent of all public holiday drowning incidents.

“Enjoying the water is

an Australian way of life and public holidays are a time for all communities to socialise and embrace our waterways.

“Unfortunately, known risk factors traditionally combine to double the risk of drowning on long weekends.

“In general alcohol is a factor in sixteen percent of drowning deaths.

“On a public holiday that rate jumps to 35 percent, so this time of year we’re asking people to double their precaution.

“Men in particular need to know their limits when it comes to alcohol consumption in, on and around our

waterways.

“Alcohol affects everyone differently.

“This means no amount of alcohol can be said to be safe for everyone.

“Even small amounts of alcohol can affect the ability to judge your physical limitations and to react.”

He said being able to judge physical limitations is particularly important in open waterways.

“Over the past ten years including this summer, most drowning deaths in men have occurred at inland waterways.

“Rivers and creeks account for 33 percent of

deaths, more than any other location.

“Tragically over the Christmas period, seventeen people have died in NSW and 43 nationally with countless more rescues by Lifesavers, Lifeguards and Emergency Service personnel.

“While alcohol may not have been a factor in these tragedies, we know it compounds the risk and we encourage everyone to minimise their risks.

“The message is simple: let’s keep each other safe around the water.

“Whether you’re fishing, boating, swimming, paddling

“There are four simple tips to keeping each other safe.

New Marine Rescue App

By Marian SAMPSON

MARINE Rescue Lemon Tree

Passage and Port Stephens have been kept very busy performing vessel rescues over the holiday period.

Now there is an upgraded version of the popular Marine Rescue NSW app designed to help boaters to stay safer on coastal waterways.

Last year over 65,000 New South Wales boaters logged on using the free Marine Rescue NSW app, enabling their location to be monitored by the Service’s Radio Operators, and for rescue crews to be quickly deployed in an emergency to the vessel’s last known location.

Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Stacey Tannos said the existing app had brought peace of

mind to boater’s families, with the upgrades to the app making it even easier to use and adding a host of new features, making it an essential item for everyone heading out on the State’s waterways.

“Anyone can now create an account and use the app, even if they don’t own a boat or Jet Ski,” Commissioner Tannos said.

“This lets anyone quickly access useful and potentially life-saving information specific to the area they are in such as current and forecast marine weather conditions, navigation aids and mooring areas, maritime alerts and warnings, speed zones, fishing spots, bar cameras, maps, and much more.”

“Boaters can also access safety checklists, emergency

procedures and scripts to use over their marine radio or phone in a range of emergency situations, so they can head out confident they are well-prepared for any eventuality during their day on the water.”

Marine Rescue Lemon Tree Passage Unit Commander David Aselford encourages local boaters to use the updated Marine Rescue NSW app.

“The app now also allows multiple profiles, so no matter how many vessels you own, or how many people are in your family, you are always able to get online and use the app’s many useful features,” Mr Aselford said.

Upgrades to the app have also enhanced compatibility with newer generations of phones and other devices,

and the clean, fresh interface has improved navigation and made for faster and easier access to information.

“Whether you like to power boat, sail, paddle

States and Territories reach Varroa Mite agreement

ALL States and Territories across Australia have reached a unanimous agreement declaring the NSW General Emergency (Blue) Zone Varroa mite free.

Minister for Agriculture Dugald Saunders said the agreement means states will reopen their borders in the coming weeks for the movement of bees and hives for pollination.

“This is a significant step

in the fight to eradicate the mite, and for our beekeepers and pollination-reliant industries that have done it tough over the past seven months,” Mr Saunders said.

“I want to thank them because it is their diligence in reporting and testing their hives and DPI’s strong surveillance work that has put us in the position we are today.

“But this is not the time for complacency; now

more than ever, we need beekeepers to make sure they continue to do the right thing and maintain their alcohol wash surveillance so we continue to move in the right direction.”

The Consultative Committee on Emergency Plant Pests (CCEPP) recently endorsed a paper presented by NSW providing epidemiological data supporting the proof of freedom requirements.

NSW will now work with South Australia, Victoria, and Queensland to develop a set of conditions to facilitate inter-state movement.

Australian Honey Bee Industry Council CEO Danny Le Feuvre said this is a major milestone for the response and the beekeeping industry.

“While the industry will continue to be impacted by the Varroa mite’s incursion, endorsement of this paper is a critical step forward

or jet ski, logging on to your local Marine Rescue NSW base with the Marine Rescue NSW app is a habit everyone heading out on our waterways should get into,”

in achieving business continuity, as best we can, for the industry,” Mr Le Feuvre said.

“Endorsement of this paper demonstrates the confidence all the affected parties have in the response. It gives us great confidence that eradication is achievable in the current situation.”

The response included surveillance on around 32,000 hives with beekeepers completing alcohol washes on more than 85,000 hives.

Beekeepers in the blue zone are reminded they can only move their bees or hives if they fill out a hive

Hawks Nest case study highlighted in Greens development report

By Doug CONNOR

IN mid-2022, Greens MP and planning spokesperson Cate Faehrmann embarked on a factfinding mission to towns and villages along the NSW coast at risk from ‘unsuitable and inappropriate development’.

Last week Ms Faehrmann published her findings in a 40-page report titled ‘Concreting our Coast - The developer onslaught destroying our coastal villages and environment’, which includes a case study of a planned development in Hawks Nest.

Mungo Developments Pty Lty submitted DA2022/0834 to Council in early August 2022, with development plans to establish a caravan park on the beach side at 288 Mungo Brush Road, comprising 342 short term lots.

With plans to be marketed as a ‘bushland retreat’, the concept for the 15.03 hectare lot focuses on short term tourist accommodation and does not seek approval for long term sites or permanent residents.

The location previously received approval for a caravan park however the grant has since lapsed.

MidCoast Council said the assessment of this development application is currently underway.

According to Ms Faehrmann’s report, approximately 8.69 hectares of land will be cleared if the development is approved, home to both koalas and squirrel gliders.

The report also raises concerns over the development’s location.

“The development area is situated in bushfire prone land making it an irresponsible area for development of medium density accommodation,

especially with regard to the limited access in and out,” the report states.

While Ms Faehrmann has not attended the site personally, she said she is monitoring the situation closely and liaising with local stakeholders.

How widespread is the problem?

Having met with coastal communities from Tura Beach on the far south coast to Kingscliff in the Tweed, Ms Faehrmann said everywhere she visited “inappropriate and unsustainable developments are being considered by councils and Regional Planning Panels”.

“I did the Far South Coast and the Shoalhaven region where there is a lot of pressure.

“I did the Mid North Coast, towns like South West Rocks, Scotts Head, Coffs Harbour and Red Rock, and I did Yamba and the Kingscliff area,” she said.

“I haven’t managed to visit every site impacted by development yet, because every time I do something on it, more individuals and community groups contact me with something happening in their area.”

What is a Zombie DA?

A major focus of Faehrmann’s report focuses on ‘Zombie’ DAs, a term which describes developments which were granted approvals decades ago.

Large numbers of these DAs, now in some cases 30 or 40 years old, have been acted upon in NSW in the past several years.

Under current planning laws, development consents lapse after five years if works

have not begun on the site.

However, until recently an approval could be kept alive indefinitely by completing minor works.

Development approvals granted before the laws were changed still remain valid, which means approvals as far back as the seventies, eighties and nineties can still be activated and developed.

“A key factor behind the report being produced was highlighting that ‘Zombie DAs’ were assessed sometimes in the eighties or the nineties, and as such were approved decades ago,” she said.

The Greens are calling for a moratorium of development in sensitive coastal areas and a modern assessment of all Zombie DAs.

“Find the development applications that were assessed decades ago, and have them assessed under contemporary, modern day environmental and cultural heritage assessment laws,” she said.

Ms Faehrmann expressed concerns that even when Zombie DAs are assessed against modern planning laws, they are assessed individually, failing to address the impacts of approving multiple new development projects in one area.

Impacts on community, infrastructure, wildlife and habitat

Throughout the report, Ms Feahrmann stresses the negative impact coastal development approvals can have on habitats for native wildlife.

“The reason these species are threatened is that their habitat keeps getting destroyed.

“It’s death by a thousand cuts for them,” she said.

“Think about what we have experienced over the past three years as a state in terms of climate risks.

“How can we say that because this block of land was approved in 1993 that we have to sit back and we can’t do anything to stop the clearing of sensitive bushland in 2023.

“We know so much more about climate risk and extinction, and we now have the data to show these threatened species are on the brink.”

Feahrmann also addresses the pressure large scale development in small coastal communities can place on an area’s infrastructure and key services.

“These small coastal villages are often being asked to take on hundreds if not thousands of new houses.

“So many of these towns have been struggling with services.”

In particular, Faehrmann raises the issue of access to health care services if resident numbers rise sharply in a small community.

“If they (small towns) are lucky enough to have a GP or two, their books are often closed.

“It is very difficult to

provide health services for an ageing population and some of these proposed developments are also for seniors living.”

How did we get here?

Ms Feahrmann describes the current “litany of unsustainable and inappropriate developments right along the NSW coast” as a “massive failure of the planning system and the State Government to ignore the issue and allow developers to get away with this”.

She said NSW was crying out for appropriate housing in appropriate locations, and that planning must be led by community need, not developer greed.

“All of the decisions are being made in the interests of developers,” she said.

“Developers come forward and say ‘I have this block of land and I want to build here’ as opposed to sticking to a strategy that makes sure we conserve what’s left and we build affordable housing, social housing and housing that is actually needed, not just more holiday accommodation.

“The State Government needs to show leadership here, making sure decisions being made around development are

being made alongside regional strategy.

“I don’t think that is the case at the moment.”

Communities push back

All along the NSW coast, communities are banding together to push back against the tide of ‘unsuitable’ development applications targeting their towns.

More than 25 local community groups, many which formed to fight these developments, have signed onto a set of Framework Principles to ‘Save our Coast’.

“I have coordinated a couple of Zoom meetings where community groups from across the state have jumped on,” said Ms Faehrmann.

“This involves sharing strategy, and groups where people can share stories and tactics, or what people are doing well.

“It is a way of skill building and empowering communities to have their voices heard,” she said.

“The decisions that are made in the next twelve to 24 months will determine whether we still have the beautiful NSW coast as we have now, or how much of it will be lost.”

HERE is a chance to own your own piece of coastal magic just 300m to the riverfrontcentrally positioned in this coastal town.

Start your day with a morning stroll along the riverfront to any of a number of waterfront cafes and restaurants for coffee or indulge in a full breakfast.

Sit back and enjoy all the lazy action taking place on the beautiful waters of the Myall River.

Tea Gardens and the twin town of Hawks Nest offer a stunning choice of waterways, from surf beaches to placid broad water lakes.

Located on the north shore of Port Stephens, these towns offer a more natural, small town ambient; distinct from the south shore and more resort-style towns of Nelson Bay and Salamander.

This is a more personal and laid-back way of life - a real change from the hustle and bustle of big city living.

After the day is done, enjoy a sumptuous dinner at one of the restaurants along Marine Drive and the leisurely stroll home.

The property is a single level fourbedroom home with spacious lounge and dining area and a large contemporary kitchen.

Spacious bedrooms with a master ensuite and walk-in-robe, all three other bedrooms are double and the family bathroom has a bathtub and an extra-large laundry.

There is also a bonus room for additional storage.

The home offers air conditioning and ceiling fans.

The huge level fenced yard has a side access and contains a great outdoor entertaining area with pergola - the perfect

spot for family BBQ's and watching the children playing in the backyard.

Off street parking with a double carport space and side access for a boat or caravan, if needed.

The home is currently leased to an excellent long term tenant keen to remain.

But wait - there’s more!

There are DA approved plans for a second dwelling at the rear.

Build and rent out as well for increased revenue - or use as your own personal holiday space while continuing to collect rent from the front home.

Inspections are by appointment - either on a Saturday or a Monday to ensure little minimum disruption on the tenants.

DEAR Jasminda,

I have recently made a pact to go walking each day with a friend, but he's now suggested we walk to a cafe where he then wants to drink coffee and eat cake before the return walk home.

I'm actually putting on weight.

Bulahdelah Golf Club News

By Thora-Lou SMITH

THURSDAY January 19 was a Vets Stableford event, and 18 golfers played through the damp conditions.

The winner was T Clifford with 41pts from J Crockett with 40pts and D Brown with 36pts (c/b).

The chook run continues (Sunday – Friday) and last week’s winner was J Graham on a c/b from B Newton.

Sunday January 22 was the Bulahdelah

SPORTS

Men’s Shed 3-person Ambrose fundraiser and unfortunately the weather was not kind.

Only four groups finished the shortened event (most chose the comfort of the club after some very heavy showers) and the winners were Mike, Arron and Craig with 26.2 from Peter, Jack and Leo with 32.1.

Dave, Kath and Lou were third with 32.1 and David, Terry and Bernie were fourth with 33.35.

Matthew won the major raffle and Toby was the highest bidder for a new putter.

In spite of the weather, it was a very successful day and President Jeff was able to present President Dave with a cheque in excess of $3600.

Thanks to major sponsor Ray White, and the other 18 sponsors, as well as the cooks and organisers.

We hope it will become an annual event.

Dear Geoff,

IT sounds to me like you and your mate have different exercise goals.

Actually Blind Freddy could have made that observation, so you don’t need me to point it out.

When you made your original pact, did you discuss why you wanted to walk each day?

He may think you just wanted to enjoy some time out for a chat and a snack instead of your desire to commence a fitness regime.

It's important to set these parameters out early on to avoid confusion.

Otherwise you may find yourself exercising twice every day, once with your friend, and another time on your own to undo all the extra calories you put on with him.

Perhaps you can come to a compromise.

Let him know that you are actually walking to get a bit fitter and healthier, so the cafe stop can't be an everyday option, but once a week you'd like to treat the good work with a beverage or two.

If he's just not interested, you may need to find yourself a new exercise buddy, or just go solo and soon he'll be seeing the results of your hard work and that could be enough to change his mind.

MONDAY AUSTRALIAN SURVIVOR

TEN, 7.30pm

SUNDAY

THE BACHELORS AUSTRALIA

TEN, 7.30pm

Many people shun reality-TV competitions, but Survivor shouldn’t be thrown into the same pile as every other gimmick. As Americans gear up for their 42nd series of the beloved franchise, anyone who has bypassed this spectacle should really give it a chance … After all, now that Mike White, the creator of smash-hit The White Lotus, has proudly outed himself as a super-fan (he even competed with his dad on the series and came second), now both duly nerdy and cool.

Tonight, host Jonathan LaPaglia (right) kicks off the 10th season of this Aussie version with a mix of new and returning players. Buckle up for plenty of strategic manoeuvres with a heroes versus villains theme.

THURSDAY TASKMASTER AUSTRALIA

TEN, 7.30pm

Britain’s hilarious game show that pushes comedians to their brink finally gets a much-anticipated Aussie version, hosted by Gold Logiewinning comedian Tom Gleeson (Hard ). If you haven’t tuned in for the British hit, Gleeson sums the show up quite succinctly as “comedians humiliating themselves… that’s kind of our whole deal!”. Featuring contestants Julia Morris (above), Luke McGregor, Jimmy Rees, Nina Oyama and Danielle Walker, along with Gleeson’s sidekick Tom Cashman, tune in for the silly, headscratching and gleeful challenges, which will see one comedian emerge as the victor. It’s a delightfully silly distraction.
