Golf Club honours Allen Clyde ‘Kanga’ Hurle

AT the conclusion of the Hawks Nest Golf Club’s Annual General Meeting last Sunday, outgoing VicePresident David Gilbert led a tribute to the late Allen Clyde ‘Kanga’ Hurle.

A prominent member of the Tea Gardens/ Hawks Nest community in the 1960’s, 1970’s and 1980’s, ‘Kanga’, amongst many other community contributions, was a key driving force behind the development of the Hawks Nest golf course and clubhouse.

“This is another opportunity for us to meet communities across our region and update them on what we have planned for their area,” said General Manager Adrian Panuccio.

“We will also be talking to the community about a number of important topics for the MidCoast.

“These include our focus areas of customer service, improving development assessments, climate change, economic development and roads.”

The Mayor, Councillors and Council’s executive team are visiting fifteen communities across the MidCoast over a three month period.

“These community visits are important because with an area that spans 10,000km2, we have a very diverse range of needs and viewpoints to consider,” added Mr Panuccio.

“Everybody is welcome, so come along and join the conversation.”

Golf Club honours Allen Clyde ‘Kanga’ Hurle

townships of Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest were gathered together at the Tea Gardens Hotel enjoying a few quiet ales.

Somehow the conversation got around to golf, ultimately leading to the conclusion - “why don’t we form our own Golf Club here in town”.

A meeting was called in October 1963, attended by twelve people, at which it was decided to form a golf club if a suitable site for the course could be obtained.

Significantly, one of the participants at this meeting was Mr G Hurle, the father of Clyde, who was later to hold the office of President of Hawks Nest Golf Club for twelve years from 1976 to 1985.

Outgoing Vice President David Gilbert recalls that as a twelve-year-old, each Sunday morning, after the showing of the Wide World of Sport program on TV, the very next program was World Championship Wrestling.

He can clearly recall the participation of an Australian wrestler who fought under the name of ‘Kangaroo Kennedy’ at that time.

That wrestler was none other than Allen Clyde ‘Kanga’ Hurle.

Meanwhile at the Hawks Nest Golf Club, where despite the election of a Committee, success in acquiring a site, development of plans for a nine hole golf course, and ongoing committee meetings - not much in the way of progressive work had taken place.

In 1966, Clyde Hurle gave up wandering the world and settled in Hawks Nest to help his parents in their business at Tea Gardens.

Clyde had been absent from meetings concerning the golf club development prior to 1966 as he had been touring overseas in his capacity as Australian Heavyweight Wrestling Champion.

“Upon being elected to the Board four years ago my attention was drawn to a document, ‘A Golf Club is Born’, which is attributed to a former Club Director, Norm Walker,” said Mr Gilbert.

“Norm indicated that in 1969 Clyde Hurle became a Councillor on Stroud Shire Council, a position he retained until 1977.

“From the time of his election as a Councillor, Clyde’s enthusiasm to get the

over the next 12-18 months.

In the mid 1970’s Clyde ‘Kanga’ Hurle, who had been Vice President, took the reins as President following the resignation of Allan Gleeson.

“With ‘Kanga’ in the chair things took on a much different complexion,” said Mr Gilbert.

“His efforts both on the course and behind the scenes were of incalculable benefit to the Club.”

Amongst Kanga’s

about every job that came up,” said Mr Gilbert.

“At times he carried out the duties of Secretary, Treasurer and even Publicity Officer.

“On top of this he usually put in somewhere between 30 and 40 hours a week on Club work and was on-call seven days a week to sort out all kinds of issues.

“From Norm Walker’s document, ‘A Golf Club is Born’, and discussions with a

Golf Club moving knew no bounds.”

Mineral Deposits Limited started operations in the area in 1966 and the AMP Society purchased large holdings in the area between 1968 and 1970.

The contributions made towards the development of the Hawks Nest Golf Club course and clubhouse by these companies and employees, as well as a range of individuals in the community, cannot be overstated.

The untiring efforts of Bill Lyon, Allan Gleeson, Matt Lauder, Vic Bancroft, Barry Squires, Lionel Slockee, David Stoupe, Terry Loane, Jules Anseline and John Lashwood, to name a few, will be more appropriately acknowledged in a project to develop a full history of the Hawks Nest Golf Club which will occur

achievements, he coordinated the involvement of TOGA (Progressive Developments), Mineral Deposits Limited and others in developing the course.

He arranged a $100,000 loan from the Bank of NSW to build a new clubhouse on the proviso that the Council would also provide a $20,000 loan together with a guarantor.

Clyde ultimately put up the deeds of his own home so that the bank loan could be made.

He also organised for three acres of the leasehold land to be changed to freehold land for the new clubhouse, as well as organising second hand poker machines to generate cash flow.

“In the twelve years since coming to office as President, ‘Kanga’ had taken on just

range of members and locals, it could only be concluded that Allen Clyde ‘Kanga’ Hurle was the primary driving force behind the development of the Hawks Nest Golf Club and Clubhouse which we all enjoy today,” said Mr Gilbert.

In recognition of his twelve years of service as Club President, ‘Kanga’ was made a Life Member of the Club in 1986.

For this reason the Club Board recently decided that a photograph of ‘Kanga’ Hurle

should hang in the clubhouse entrance foyer to formally acknowledge his outstanding contribution to Hawks Nest Golf Club.

Mr Gilbert welcomed Kanga’s two daughters, Tristine Hurle and Lainie Hurle, at the Golf Club at the conclusion of the AGM to participate in a touching tribute to their father.

While Tristine lives in Sydney and returns to the township often enough, Lainie, who lives in Tasmania, has not been back to Hawks Nest since 2002 at the time of her father’s funeral.

Mr Gilbert invited Tristine and Lainie to come forward and unveil the photograph of ‘Kanga’ which will hang with pride in the clubhouse foyer as a constant reminder of his dedicated and honorary service to the Hawks Nest Golf Club.

‘Kanga’, who was born in 1926 and passed away

in 2002, will always be remembered at Hawks Nest Golf Club for his vision and commitment to foresee the makings of what the Club is today.

With Mr Gilbert no longer on the Board at the Golf Club, he has been charged with the responsibility of collecting information about the club and its personalities with the view to coordinating a ‘History of Hawks Nest Golf Club’.

“I am keen to gather old photographs and other information about the Club over the years,” he said.

“I would welcome any information, stories which people may be able to share, photos etc.

“For this I can be contacted through the Golf Club.

“Phone 49970145 and the office will then pass on the details to me.”

First Home Buyers Choice Scheme

The annual property tax payments will be based on the land value of the purchased property. The property tax rates for 202223 will be:

• $400 plus 0.3 per cent of land value for properties whose owners live in them

Tea Gardens

Existing stamp duty concessions for first home buyers are available for purchases of up to $800,000, and these concessions will continue. The property tax option will be available for properties for up to $1.5 million.

If you are eligible, you can choose between (a) paying the usual amount of stamp duty based on the ‘dutiable value’ of your property; or (b) paying an annual property tax based on the unimproved land

• $1,500 plus 1.1 per cent of land value for investment properties.

These tax rates will be indexed each year, so that the average property tax payment rises in line with average incomes.

The Government intends that legislation to establish the property tax will be introduced into the NSW Parliament during the second half of 2022.

MidCoast Council finalist in multiple awards for tourism

q Barrington Coast is a finalist in two categories of the New South Wales Tourism Awards.

MIDCOAST Council’s destination brand Barrington Coast is a finalist in two categories of the New South Wales Tourism Awards for 2022.

The NSW Tourism Awards celebrate business excellence, innovation and exceptional customer service.

MidCoast Council entered these awards for the first time in 2021 with impressive results, winning gold in the category ‘Local Government Award for Tourism’ and silver in the category ‘Tourism Marketing and Campaigns’.

“I’m thrilled to see us named as a finalist for the second year running in these same two categories,” MidCoast Council Mayor Claire Pontin said.

The two award entries focused on the robust research and data-driven strategies undertaken by MidCoast Council for destination management, tourism branding, campaign strategy, media choice, creative design, and tracking user behaviour.

“The feedback from judges about our entries last year was invaluable for fine tuning our 2022 submissions,

as they wanted to hear our story told in an engaging way.

“Our first full year of destination marketing activity provided some breathtaking results, with our campaign industry partners reporting revenue increases of up to 81 percent year on year.

“Since our 2021 wins, we’ve continued to enjoy exceptionally strong brand awareness and visitor sentiment results across both our destination marketing and visitor experience channels, which has resulted in us being NSW Tourism Award finalists again this year and Barrington Coast a finalist in the prestigious Mumbrella Travel Marketing awards in the breakout destination of the year category,” Mayor Pontin said.

The ‘Tourism Marketing and Campaigns’ category recognises creativity and innovation in the promotion of tourism products, services and destinations.

Barrington Coast's inaugural destination marketing campaign, ‘Whatever It Takes’, launched in 2021 and continued

through the Covid19 lockdown period, concluding May 2022.

The ‘Local Government Award for Tourism’ category recognises excellence in tourism planning, marketing, provision of quality visitor experiences and sustainability.

Destination Barrington Coast is joined by two local tourism businesses as finalists in the 2022 awards.

Sea Horse Diamond Beach is a finalist in two categories: ‘Self-contained

Accommodation’ plus ‘Excellence in Accessible Accommodation’; and Bent On Food Wingham is a finalist in ‘Excellence in Food Tourism’.

Both of these successful businesses are already multi award winners in NSW Tourism Awards plus other national awards including Australian Small Business Awards and Australian Regional Business Awards.

NSW Tourism Awards winners are announced on 17 November in Sydney.

Relevant category winners will go on to represent NSW at the Australian Tourism Awards later this year in Sydney.

The Barrington Coast destination marketing campaign is also a finalist in the Mumbrella Travel Marketing Awards 2022, one of Australia’s most prestigious tourism awards.

These awards celebrate marketing achievements in the travel and tourism industry and the Barrington Coast Campaign is a finalist in

Federal Government signs global Methane Pledge

THE Federal Albanese Government has confirmed it will join Joe Biden’s global Methane Pledge, an attempt to cut methane emissions by 30 percent by 2030, due to concerns that climate change is increasing the frequency and potency of extreme weather events.

Australia joins 122 other countries in signing the Methane Pledge, signalling Australia’s voluntary commitment to participation in global action on methane emissions.

National Farmers Federation Chief Executive Tony Mahar said the pledge will have no negative impacts on the agriculture sector.

“For agriculture it will reinforce our demonstrated commitment to sustainability and ongoing access key markets as an export orientated sector.

“Farmers are already leading the charge on climate action in Australia and have earned a seat at the table and the strong assurances and partnership provided by government mean the pledge will not negatively impact on farmers or the agriculture sector,” Mr Mahar said.

Concerns have been expressed across the industry regarding the impact the pledge would have on farming

businesses.

Prior to the pledge being made, NSW Farmers demanded the federal government put down in writing a promise not to tax farmers for methane emissions.

NSW Farmers President Xavier Martin said Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Agriculture Minister Murray Watt, Treasurer Jim Chalmers and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen should all sign a statement that farmers would not be left worse off under the Methane Pledge.

“Before we go making pledges to other countries, our leaders should make a pledge to the people who grow our food and fibre,” Mr Martin said.

“We’ve been told that farmers will be excluded, but the same thing happened in New Zealand and now they’re experiencing the disastrous impact of these international agreements.

“Australia cannot afford to put global appearances ahead of our ability to feed and clothe ourselves, and our government should make an iron-clad assurance – in writing – that agriculture will not be impacted by Joe Biden’s Methane Pledge.”

According to the Federated Farmers of New

Zealand, “lies, damned lies and statistics” have driven a plan to reduce on-farm greenhouse gas emissions that would see agricultural communities killed off in the name of climate change.

It claimed it was the equivalent of destroying the entire New Zealand wine industry and half the seafood industry.

Mr Martin said while there were promising trials and pieces of research being conducted to help reduce how much methane livestock produced, Australia was a long way from having commercially scalable options for ‘low methane’ livestock.

He pointed out that Australian farmers got a 1.3 percent return on assets, whereas larger food businesses such as Woolworths got a 15 percent return, so there was little room to move given farmers had already reduced emissions by more than 30 percent.

“As it stands, the only way to reduce livestock emissions is to reduce the size of the national herd,” Mr Martin said.

“Families are already feeling stress at the checkout, they will be wanting ironclad assurances that farm

production isn’t reduced.

“If the government wants to cut methane it needs to invest in research that will let us do that without impacting production.”

Mr Mahar said industry concerns are being taken seriously and have been raised with the Federal Government.

“Australian agriculture cannot and will not tolerate interventions like the New Zealand or Netherlands governments are implementing which target and undermine agriculture’s productivity.

“We welcome Government’s commitments which recognise the role farmers play in sustainably producing food and fibre and managing the landscape every day of the week as part of the ongoing emission reduction journey.”

Mr Mahar said farmers have been given assurances there will be no new taxes or regulation on livestock methane, and no reduction to agricultural production nor livestock numbers.

“This commitment recognises agriculture’s existing achievement, future

plans and dedication to ongoing partnership with government to develop technology-led solutions and associated innovation.

“We are confident Australian agriculture and farmers will retain a seat at the table as the conversation continues and this dialog with government is open and dynamic

“Australia’s farm sector has already reduced its emissions by about 59 percent on 2005 levels.

“And our red meat sector is planning to be carbon neutral by 2030.”

REGISTERED commercial beekeepers impacted by Varroa mite in the surveillance (purple) zones, including areas of Port Stephens and the Myall Coast, are now eligible for reimbursement payments under the agreed National Response Plan.

Minister for Agriculture Dugald Saunders said the NSW Government recognises that despite not needing to have hives euthanised like those in the eradication (red) zones, beekeepers in surveillance zones have also been adversely financially impacted by the Varroa mite response.

“When we first saw an incursion of the Varroa mite in NSW, we immediately initiated a hive stand still for beekeepers in the eradication and surveillance zones,” Mr Saunders said.

“This means that commercial beekeepers have been unable to move their

“During emergencies like floods or bushfires, Live Traffic NSW will be the go to for motorists to help them make informed decisions and travel safely.

“The new technology improves the reach and detail of information on Live Traffic NSW, which means we can provide more

hives to other parts of the state to take part in pollination activities, which has greatly impacted the business operations of many.

“The NSW Government has worked closely with the Australian Honey Bee Industry Council to develop a framework for reimbursement that has been endorsed by all governments and industry parties.

“We understand that the payments will not cover the full costs incurred, but will give commercial beekeepers options.”

Australian Honey Bee Industry Council CEO Danny Le Feuvre said his group has been working hard with the NSW Government and other key stakeholders to ensure the reimbursement for purple zone commercial beekeepers.

“This shows how progress in the response can start to allow more options for commercial beekeepers," Mr Le Feuvre said.

reliable data to more drivers.

“And there’s more to come. By 2024, we’re aiming to have Live Traffic capture every road across every council in the state.”

Called OneRoad, a backend portal into Live Traffic NSW allows councils to feed their data in so road impacts across local and state roads are in the one place.

The technology is a response to feedback from communities and recommendations from the Royal Commission into National Natural Disaster Arrangements Report.

The initial 22 LGAs were chosen in consultation with the NSW Police, Rural Fire

Service and NSW State Emergency Service.

The local councils onboarded in this first phase are: Ballina, Bellingen, Bega, Byron, Central Darling, Clarence Valley, Coffs Harbour, Gwydir, Inverell, Kempsey, Kyogle, Lake Macquarie, Lismore, Maitland, MidCoast, Moree Plains, Nambucca Valley, Port Macquarie Hastings, Richmond Valley and Tamworth.

LGAs will continue to come onboard in stages, with the priority given to the regional councils who have been impacted most by bushfires and floods.

Live Traffic NSW data is available on the Transport for NSW Open Data Hub for thirdparty apps like Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze and TomTom.

The limited Owner Reimbursement Costs offers eligible registered commercial beekeepers two options:

· Commercial beekeepers can choose to euthanise their existing hives and receive reimbursement of $290 per standard hive to re-establish new hives outside of the purple zones; or,

· They can choose to not euthanise their hives and instead receive a one-off loss-of-income reimbursement of $117 per standard hive.

These reimbursements are one-off payments.

Commercial registered beekeepers in the surveillance zone will be contacted directly with more information on how to apply.

Eligible applicants must be a registered commercial beekeeper with the DPI, have been impacted as a direct result of the Varroa mite emergency response and meet other criteria as outlined in the program

guidelines.

The reimbursement package comes at the same time as the relaxing of some restrictions in NSW, with a change to the movement options for recreational beekeepers in the blue zone.

“Blue zone recreational beekeepers can now move hives and bees in that lowrisk area of NSW in line with commercial beekeepers in the same zone, which will enable people to set up hives, or move locations,” Mr Saunders said.

Debate over single-use plastics ban

THE NSW Government is continuing to ban certain single-use plastics, with new laws coming into place from next Tuesday.

From 1 November 2022, all manufacturers, wholesalers, businesses and community organisations will be banned from supplying a range of single-use plastic items.

This follows the ban on lightweight plastic bags that came into place on 1 June.

Around 575 million plastic items were littered in NSW in 2019.

Much of these were single-use items, such as plastic bags, straws and cutlery.

Over time, these items break into smaller pieces of plastic.

They can be ingested by wildlife, killing or injuring them, and can enter the human food chain.

Plastics never completely degrade.

Over years, they break into tiny pieces called microplastics.

The phase out of singleuse plastic items will help

prevent an estimated 2.7 billion items of plastic litter from entering our natural environment and waterways over the next 20 years.

The items selected for the ban are littered at approximately 20 times the rate of other plastics.

Approximately 40 percent of these littered items end up in marine environments and waterways.

Of the 16,000 submissions the Government received when consulting on the future bans of plastics in NSW, 98 percent supported the phasing out single-use plastics.

From 1 November 2022, the following items will be banned:

• single-use plastic straws

• single-use plastic cutlery, including plastic chopsticks and sporks

• single-use plastic stirrers

• single-use plastic bowls (excluding bowls with a spillproof lid)

• single-use plastic plates

• single-use plastic cotton buds

• expanded polystyrene

food service items

• plastic microbeads in rinse-off personal care products such as face and body cleansers, exfoliants and masks, shampoo, conditioner and hair dyes, and toothpaste.

Minister for Environment James Griffin said the ban on single-use plastics is just the beginning of a massive shift away from single-use plastics in NSW.

“In June, we banned lightweight single-use plastic bags and from 1 November, we’re banning some of the most commonly littered single-use plastic items, including cutlery, plates, bowls, straws, and polystyrene food ware,” Mr Griffin said.

“About 95 percent of the litter on beaches and waterways comes from suburban streets, and single-use plastic items and packaging make up two thirds of all litter in NSW.”

Not all are pleased with the ban however, with the Liberal Democrats calling for the ban on single-use plastic items to be replaced with an education program

and finding biodegradable alternatives to plastic.

Liberal Democrats NSW President Dean McCrae said there are far more effective long-term solutions than an immediate ban and penalties for non-compliance.

“The LibDems applaud the NSW Environment Protection Authority for their

Inquiry into Property Tax Bill

A PARLIAMENTARY committee has commenced an inquiry into the Property Tax (First Home Buyer Choice) Bill 2022.

This bill would make changes to legislation to enable certain first home buyers to opt to pay an annual property tax rather than

stamp duty when purchasing their home.

The NSW Government introduced the Property Tax (First Home Buyer Choice) Bill 2022 on 12 October 2022.

The Bill passed through the Legislative Assembly, while the Legislative Council voted to refer it to the Upper

House's Premier and Finance Committee for detailed examination before it is debated in the House.

The Hon Tara Moriarty MLC, Chair of the Committee said, "Under this bill, it's proposed that instead of paying stamp duty, certain first home buyers could

choose to pay a proposed new tax, involving a $400 annual fee plus 0.3 percent of their property's land value.

BCS students take on cake decorating challenge

YEAR 9 and 10 Food Technology students from Bulahdelah Central School have been hard at work creating stunning cakes for their major project in the ‘Food for Special Occasions’ unit of work.

As part of the project, the students undertook research activities, practiced cake decorating techniques, developed their ideas, baked and decorated their cakes, and then evaluated the final product.

The impressive designs included a mushroom, rainbow, fairy garden, campsite, monsters, a turtle, farmyard, clouds and a seaside.

Year 9 class member Taylah Tassell created a hippopotamus cake suitable for a child’s birthday celebration.

After baking and cutting the cake to shape, Taylah applied a layer of Vienna cream and used marshmallows and other sweets to create the facial

Building Timber Skills

THE construction of small turned tables has been the focus for Year 9 Industrial Technology Timber students at Bulahdelah Central School.

The project aimed to develop skills in working with timber including the

use of hand tools, power tools and fixed machines.

The construction process emphasised to students the importance of accuracy when measuring, marking out, cutting, and assembling.

Students were also introduced to basic wood

turning skills by using the lathe to create the stem for their tables.

Chris Gladys, BCS Head Teacher of Industrial Technology said, “The final stage of the project involved applying a lacquer and wax finish to improve aesthetics

features.

“I had a few challenges with smoothing the icing and making it even, but I am very pleased with the result,” Taylah said.

“I think many children would be happy to have this for their birthday cake.

“The project also showed that I can successfully make a decorated cake from scratch.

“This gives me confidence to attempt more difficult designs in the future.”

and longevity.

“Although the tables were all based on the same plan, students customised their work by creating individual designs for the stems and tabletops.”

BCS student Bailey Brown said, “I am pleased with my table, it is stable, solid and practical.

“I like the contrasting colours and textures of the pine and hardwoods that I used for the tabletop.

TUESDAY STUFF THE BRITISH STOLE ABC, 8pm

FRIDAY ROAD TO THE MELBOURNE CUP CARNIVAL

TEN, 10.30pm

It’s almost time to saddle up once again for “the race that stops a nation”. It’s a sure bet there’ll be plenty of frivolity on show for the Melbourne Cup Carnival. The trackside action kicks off with Derby Day on Saturday before the big race on Tuesday, followed by Oaks Day on Thursday and closing with Stakes Day on Saturday. In this special, racing expert Michael Felgate, jockeys Michelle Payne (pictured with Felgate) and Glen Boss, and tipster David Gately size up this year’s contenders.

After the breakout success of art theft investigation Framed, Marc Fennell (pictured below) presents this new six-part series examining the origins of some of the British Empire’s most famous treasures. The Walkley Award-winning journalist digs up the truth behind some of the world’s most iconic and priceless relics, including a diamond in the crown jewels that Indians and Pakistanis claim was stolen and the heist of a Scottish relic.

After the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the ascension of King Charles III, the legacy of the British Empire is being re-examined and this compelling, globe-trotting investigation is bound to pose some very tough questions for even the staunchest royalist.

WEDNESDAY CHARLES: THE NEW KING

SBS, 7.30pm

For seven decades, Prince Charles was in wait to become

monarchy. At 73, King Charles III (pictured

oldest person ever to ascend the British throne and the longest-serving heir apparent. In this wide-ranging documentary, the new head of the most famous family in the world comes into focus; what sort of king will Charles be? Can he ever command the same respect and affection that his beloved mother garnered? Who is Charles, really? Without speaking directly to the new King himself, it’s a painting by numbers affair, but this slick production takes a sophisticated crack at uncovering what makes the garden-loving royal tick.

What’s in your backyard?

HOST of Gardening Australia and Landcare champion

Costa Georgiadis is joining forces with Junior Landcare to ask Aussie kids to get outdoors and snap photos of the fauna and flora in their 'backyard'.

Junior Landcare understands that children can’t be involved in caring for the environment if they don’t love it – and one way to do this is for children to get their hands and feet in it.

Through the 'What's in your backyard?' photo competition, children are being encouraged to grab a camera, get outdoors and capture photos of the flora and fauna in their 'backyard', explaining to Costa and Junior Landcare why their photo is special to them.

“We’re calling on all Aussie kids to get outside and explore their local environment,” said Costa.

“Your backyard might be a garden.

“If you live in an apartment, your garden could be plants on your balcony.

“You may live near a park or bushland area, or a river or wetland.

“You may live on the coast close to the sea, or on a farm – these could all be your backyard!”

Children (via their parents, carers and educators) can submit

photos to the Junior Landcare website, under one of four categories including biodiversity, food production, First Nations perspectives and waste management, to be in the running to win one of nine cameras (RRP $250), book hampers and other great prizes.

One school or youth group will also win a visit from Costa to check out their environmental projects.

Joining Costa as a campaign supporter and host of Channel 10’s The Living Room, Barry Du Bois, said he wants his ten-year-old twins, Bennett and Arabella, to experience the same sense of wonder around nature that he had when he was young.

“As a young boy, I loved exploring the creeks, beaches, and secret hiding spots in my own backyard, and I want that for Bennett and Arabella.

“There's something magical about nature, and the ‘What’s in your Backyard’ campaign will help kids to find that magic in their own backyards.”

‘What’s in your backyard?’ is a key activity of Junior Landcare’s Learning Centre.

The online platform features fun, easy-to-use learning activities developed by education professionals to help children be aware, empowered and active in caring for their local environment.

The resources have all been designed to help children build knowledge and deeper connections to

Myall U3A Photography Group explores ‘Industrial’ theme

EACH month a photograph is selected at the Myall U3A Photography Group’s meeting to be printed in News Of The Area.

This month’s theme was ‘Industrial’.

The selected photo was taken during a guided tour of the wheel house under Tower Bridge in London.

Tower Bridge was built between 1886 and 1894 and has stood for well

over a century as an icon of London and the United Kingdom.

Instead of chains pulling up the bascules (‘Bascule’ is a French word which can be translated as seesaw) from the towers, the hard work of opening and closing Tower Bridge is left to eight large cogs.

These are about 1m in diameter, four on each side, which rotate to open and

close the Bridge.

The power required to rotate the cogs was initially supplied by steam and then, post-1976, by electricity.

The photo, submitted by Mandy Craig, shows one of these large cogs used to raise the section of the bridge.

For information on the Myall U3A Photography Group contact Paul at mulvaney@bigpond.com.

biodiversity, where their food comes from, recycling and waste management, and First Nations perspectives.

This year, together with First Nations educator, Wiradjuri man Adam Shipp, 10 new First Nations learning activities have been developed by Landcare Australia to teach children and educators about how to have a connection to Country.

“Young people play a vital role in caring for our environment, which needs all the help it can get! Junior Landcare gives children – no matter where they are across the country – the opportunity to understand nature,

connect with it and take action to protect the world around them.

“With Junior Landcare, we are educating the next generation of Landcarers –and this starts with parents, carers and educators encouraging simple moments outdoors,” said Costa.

The ‘What’s in your backyard’ campaign closes on 31 October, so grab a camera, get outside, and snap photos of the flora and fauna in your backyard to share with Costa and Junior Landcare.

Tea Gardens Men’s Bowling Club

By John SLATER

WELL, all the 'hoopla' has died down a little after our Club’s Division three and four Pennant teams won the Newcastle District Pennants, (Zone 2) Sectional finals last weekend.

Many thanks to the Country Club for providing the drinks for our bowlers on their return to the club last Sunday night. It was an

incredibly special time and very much appreciated.

Now the preparation to take on the Zone winners in the rest of NSW has begun.

The NSW finals will be played at two venues, Division three will travel to Dubbo where they will be hosted by Club Dubbo and Macquarie Dubbo Bowls Clubs.

Division 4 will make their way down to the prestigious Warilla Bowls

and Recreation Club near Wollongong.

Players will be away from 17 to 20 November.

19 October

The Wednesday Nominated Triples competition was completed today, without any weather interference, with a good field of 44 players.

The grass green was playable but far from its best, due to the persistent rain.

The morning game was won by Tony Butler, Col Amos, and Mark Hair. The result was decided by the 'Highest winning margin.' They had a margin of 9.

The afternoon game was decided by the 'Highest winning score' and with a score of 21 Brian Newbery, Mike Dellaca, and Alan Greenhalgh were the winners.

The overall winners on the day were Graeme

Watkins and Keith Smith with a score of 33.

The Garden Eatery voucher was won by John Yabsley.

Our thanks to the award-winning Garden Eatery for their support.

23 October Sunday bowls was played today under overcast skies with a good attendance of 24 players.

The team with the highest winning score

SPORT

won the day and visitors 'Richard,' Phil Thrift and John Slater managed that. In other news.

The '16-up' tournament has been postponed to a date to be advised due to our Pennant players being away the weekend before contesting the State playoffs.

Patrons Day has also been postponed until later in the year as our Patron, Daryl Martin, will be away on the date scheduled.

Dorin’s Draws

By Paul DORIN

On the Couch with Jasminda

Email Jasminda: media@newsofthearea.com.au

DEAR Jasminda,

MY wife has awful infidelity dreams about me and then won't speak to me for hours because of what I did. I have no control over what she dreams.

I'm constantly being blamed for things I haven't done.

Thanks, Roger P. Oh, Roger,

I can only imagine how annoying this is.

All you want in the morning is to be left alone to do your Wordle, sip your coffee, scan the news headlines and try to decide whether it's a good day to spread some weed and feed on the lawn, and instead you are on the receiving end of a barrage of accusations that somehow manifested in the previous eight hours when you weren't even awake.

Dreams are fascinating. Some of us dream in exquisite detail. Others rarely remember their dreams, and when they do, they aren't worth recalling due to their bland content.

There are rainbow dreamers and vanilla

dreamers, and, beyond that realm, psychopathic dreamers who perhaps do need to have their dismemberment dreams dissected by a professional (pun intended).

Now, in order to put your wife's mind at ease, I would take a Jungian rather than a Freudian approach to her dreams, since Freud could make absolutely anything about sex, even an obscure dream about planting some new spring bulbs in the garden.

If your wife is dreaming about you cheating with someone you know, you could explain to her that this is really just symbolic of that person representing something you may want in your life that they have.

A remote-control garage for example.

Freud, on the other hand, would have a field day with a remote-control garage and somehow turn it into an Oedipus complex.

If the dreams are in relation to a celebrity, perhaps she just wants something that celebrity has - the ability to make billions out of rapping and selling sneakers, for example.

If your wife confronts you again, tell her you had a very similar dream where she ran off the local accountant.

Then go into excruciating detail - the business activity statements, the fuel excise, a dodgy PAYG summary, missing bank interest statements, a dubious lump sum termination and no dividends.

I doubt she'll mention her dreams for a while after that.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Has Australia gone mad on renewables?

DEAR News Of The Area,

AUSTRALIA has gone mad.

About 60 percent of us living in this area are over 65 and waiting for God.

We have seen the best of Australia and it is now all downhill.

What a holy mess we are leaving for our grandchildren.

We need to put pressure on our councils, state and federal governments to

wake up to themselves.

Small nuclear technology has next to no emissions and can plug into the existing system.

No need to blow $20 billion on new lines and systems.

We have vast stocks of uranium.

The European Union in their desperation have reclassified nuclear and gas as renewables.

Even Greta Thunberg has jumped on the

bandwagon - extolling Germany to go nuclear.

We could have a SNT system in our Council area.

The Lithium extraction process uses approximately 500,000 gallons of water per metric ton of lithium.

Any residue which reaches waterways pollutes, killing fish and animals alike.

Fracking is less invasive.

Australia's lithium is sourced from Western Australia near Southern

The NOTA needs you!

TELLING the incredible stories of Port Stephens and the Myall Coast is what News Of The Area (NOTA) is all about.

The independentlyowned NOTA has had a presence in the region for decades and is proud to keep locals up to date with the happenings of the area.

Now, NOTA is seeking more enthusiastic locals with a background in writing to join the team.

Are you a freelance reporter, current or exjournalist, or simply a passionate and quality writer?

“If you have a

background in writing, and a passion for your local community, I would love to hear from you,” said NOTA Group Editor Douglas Connor.

“As the paper continues to grow, we are always looking for enthusiastic wordsmiths to help cover the region’s news, sport, events, music etc.”

Writing for NOTA can be an amazing way to connect with your local community, to meet some of the aweinspiring locals creating change in the area, and to learn and experience the unique elements of life in our region.

Writing for NOTA is flexible, with contributor reporters able to submit as many or as few stories per week to fit in with their present lifestyle and commitments.

Veteran NOTA reporter Marian Sampson, who has reported on local issues on the Myall Coast and Port Stephens for five years, said the role allowed her freedom, and new opportunities.

“Writing for News Of The Area has been a wonderful opportunity for me.

“I have become further connected to my community and importantly those who

Cross some 250 km East of Perth and from the Pilbara.

Lithium Battery warranties are usually for eight years but can be effective for ten to 20 years, but because lithium cathodes degrade overtime they cannot be placed into new batteries.

China has a 51 percent controlling interest in lithium production in Australia.

So the life of your expensive EV is about ten years and then what do we care passionately about their causes.

“I have had the privilege to meet some amazing people who are doing amazing things locally and internationally.

“I am valued and respected by my community as is the publication.

“As a NOTA reporter I write when I like and choose the stories that are of interest to me and my community.

“I choose my own hours and I can work from anywhere,” Marian said.

News Of The Area was recently named as a finalist in the Outstanding Stand Up category of the Mid North Coast NSW Business Awards, while

do with the batteries?

The USA has pledged to reduce methane emissions by 30 percent.

Our dopey government is seriously thinking of doing the same.

The quickest way to achieve this would be to reduce our herds by 30 percent.

Forget the damage to our farmers and exports.

We can all become vegans!

Last but not least is my

whinge about the vandalism suggested for North Shearwater.

450 sqm blocks for steep sloping land on the hill behind me.

We don't need rural slums and with all the rainfall we have had, it will be an unsightly mud bath.

No worries God and Albo will provide.

Kind regards David BRUCE, Tea Gardens.

Client Account Manager Gaye Conway and Group

Editor Douglas Connor were named as finalists in the Outstanding Employee and Outstanding Young Business Leader categories respectively.

HAWKS Nest Golf Club ladies turned out in both fine form and lots of colour for their annual 'Pink and Teal Charity Day' this week, a 4 Person Ambrose event, with over 60 ladies enjoying a fun round of golf in lovely sunshine on our fabulously prepared course.

Ladies President, Annette Benton proudly announced that over $2,000 had been raised to be divided between their two special charities Breast Cancer and Ovarian Cancer Awareness.

The Hawks Nest ladies have in recent years been keenly supporting both of

these charities after sadly losing dear friends to both of these diseases in the past.

Team winners on the day were Marg Bonney, Marguerite Miller, Debbie Matheson and Wendy Gibson with a score of 49.5.

Runners up were Ann Morris, Annie Scott, Cheryl Foster and Donna O'Brien, with 3rd place being Trish Sattler, Sue Raine, Maxine Mitchell and Christine Simmons.

Well done ladies, it was great to see so much fun, colour and frivolity on this special golf day.

Club professional Andrew McCormack was in his glory

taking gold coins from the ladies and lapping up the fun to tee off the 18th over the dam and landing them closer to the green.

Even head greenkeeper Ben Mills and his team excelled in 'designing' a fun and challenging 16th green with hilarious props and a coil of hose around the pin.

Well done lads, the ladies truly appreciate the extra time and energy you all put into making their golfing days so interesting, fun and successful.

The Clubs office staff and Fionas Café even got into the spirit of the day wearing colourful head creations.

Although it was somewhat disappointing we didn't get to see a rerun of outgoing GM Greg Acret in his pink tu-tu this year.

q Winners: Marguerite Miller, Wendy Gibson, Deb Matheson and Marg Bonney.
