Port Stephens News Of The Area 5 January 2023

the jump from the small pond of living in a small community on the Tomaree Peninsula into the larger pond of the world and beyond can seem daunting for many young people.

However, Soldiers Point resident Caleb Faragher has taken the leap and has found success in doing so.

Caleb attended St Michael’s Primary and throughout his high school years, spent much of his time volunteering with Birubi Point SLSC, doing monthly patrols, water safety for Nippers, providing training for other members of the club in first aid and rescue techniques, and organising and participating in weekly board training sessions for young cadets.

Four years ago, Caleb took the huge leap out of the Bay, to pursue a University degree.

“I studied a Bachelor of International Security Studies with a minor in Global Security at the Australian National University (ANU)

in Canberra for four years,” Caleb Faragher told News Of The Area.

Caleb hopes to work for the Australian Government in the departments that pertain to his field of study such as Defence, Foreign Affairs, Home Affairs, or the Attorney-General’s Department.

"I am thankful for my time in the Bay, it was an extremely formative time of my life, it taught me the value of hardwork, of community, and of giving back and contributing to the lives of the people around me," Caleb said.

LITTLE Beach

q Australian University graduate 2022 Caleb Faragher.

Improved accessibility at Little Beach

into the water, making it a great accessible option for people with disabilities.

For carers, finding the right amenities to allow their loved ones access to nature can be almost impossible.

Soon Port Stephens will have a benchmark facility which will allow everyone to access our beautiful environment and to enjoy a day out with dignity.

John Maretich, Port Stephens Council Assets Section Manager told News Of The Area, “Little Beach has been identified as a ‘Changing Places’ location that provides suitable facilities for all abilities to enjoy our beautiful environment.

“The new dedicated Changing Places amenities will be the first in the local government area.”

The Changing Places amenities include a ceiling hoist, adult sized changing table, privacy screen and additional circulation space to meet the needs of people with complex disabilities and their carers.

Residents will be pleased to know that a large portion of the Little Beach upgrade is being funded through a variety of grants.

“We have been successful in receiving various funding for this project, all funding applications had very strict criteria to be addressed - we’re proud to have been granted the below funding to help turn Little Beach into a fully accessible precinct.”

Funding for the accessible playground upgrade which has been completed came from the NSW Government’s ‘Everyone can Play’ grant, together with Council development contributions.

Funding for the new amenities has come from Council and the NSW Government

via the Regional Tourism Activation Fund, the Boating Now Program and the Recreational Fishing and Camping Facilities Program.

The new furniture, wheelchair beach access ramp and shared pathway will also be funded by the NSW Government via the Regional Tourism Activation Fund and Public Spaces Legacy Fund.

The new infrastructure will provide storage for the two beach wheelchairs that are already located at Little Beach.

Also on the list of new facilities is an all-abilities ramp that provides a permanent and easy way to reach the sand.

This, teamed with the existing wharf which provides direct access to the water, will make every aspect of the natural environment at Little Beach accessible.

“We’re really trying to make Little Beach a special precinct which is inclusive and easily accessed by all,” Mr Maretich said.

“The Little Beach precinct lends itself beautifully to this focus as it is level with easy access to the beach from

vehicles.

“The nearby Halifax Holiday Park has already embraced this by providing accessible cabins with dedicated wheelchair access, manoeuvring space and accessible bathrooms.

“We want people of all abilities to be able to enjoy the beautiful beaches we have in Port Stephens.

“That’s why we’re working hard to improve the Little Beach precinct to support wellbeing, inclusivity, accessibility and making all feel welcome,” he said.

Covid hangover causes jump in court delay

TIME to justice in the Local Court has risen significantly over the last four years due to Covid-related disruptions to court operations.

New criminal court data released today by the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research shows that in 2021/22 contested cases in the Local Court took nine months to finalise from the date of arrest (279 days).

This is nearly three months longer than in 2018/19 (up 81 days from 198 days in 2018/19).

NELSON BAY CANCER PATIENT TRANSPORT GROUP

Is a volunteer group providing the following services to our local community

Volunteer drivers who transport patients to the Newcastle Metropolitan area for cancer treatment and related Doctors’ appointments.

It is an ancillary service for when cancer patients cannot access any other reliable form of personal transport for treatments and appointments.

Our services are subject to available resources. This service is provided free of charge to patients and continues due to the generosity of our volunteer drivers, financial grants and donations received from the local community.

Phone: 0407 252 566

"The Local Court is the engine room of the criminal justice system so longer wait times have broad reaching implications for a large number of victims and defendants." said Jackie Fitzgerald, Executive Director of the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research. Domestic Violence court cases have been particularly affected by the increase as a third of defended hearings involve a DV charge.

Last year, a typical contested domestic violence matter took 271 days to finalise in the Local Court; more than 100 days longer than in 2018/19 (160 days).

"Court delay has many undesirable consequences.

“Both victims and defendants can be in a state of limbo waiting for resolution and the prospect of conviction can diminish over time as witnesses and victims disengage from

the process." said Jackie Fitzgerald.

The increase in court delay is a consequence of covid-related court disruptions in 2020, 2021 and early 2022.

"In 2021/22 the Local Court finalised 29 percent fewer defended hearings than in 2018/19.

This increases the number of court matters waiting for a hearing and in turn increases time from arrest to finalisation.

Karuah RSL Life Membership Awarded to Peter Fidden

By Marian SAMPSON

PETER Fidden is a well known figure at the Karuah RSL Club.

Last month Peter, who is President of the Karuah RSL sub-Branch, was awarded with Life Membership to the RSL.

Alan Owen of the Karuah RSL Sub Branch told News Of The Area, “This award is only presented to a RSL sub-Branch member that has contributed over a long period of time to RSL work.

“Peter gave time to Newcastle District Council of the RSL as President and Vice President, as well as as President of the Karuah RSL Club and the sub-Branch.”

Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington presented the Life Membership certificate to Peter at the recent subBranch Christmas party.

“This is the first time that life membership has been awarded to a member of the Karuah sub-Branch,” Alan said.

Peter served in the Vietnam War with A&B Squadrons 3rd

Cavalry Regiment Light Aid Detachment.

The RSL Club supports many local sports clubs and sub-Branch representatives attend local schools for ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day celebrations.

On display in the Karuah RSL Club is a range of military memorabilia, donated by members and families of Veterans.

The team at the NOTA congratulate Peter on this distinguished award.

Port Stephens Free Seed Library

By Marian SAMPSON

THE libraries around Port Stephens share more than books and audio visual material, they are also home to a wonderful free seed library.

The seed library is a little different but it does allow for gardeners to participate in growing new and exciting species.

While not all of the

seeds in the seed library are endemic, many are.

A representative from Port Stephens Council told News Of The Area, “Port Stephens Library sources our seeds from a number of different suppliers on the East Coast of Australia.

“We choose select varieties that are suitable for our local climate and conditions, and some of these seeds include old Australian varieties.

“We also receive generous donations of locally harvested

seeds from our gardening community, which we are able to recirculate and share with our Library community.

“Some of these have included seeds for native plants and flowers that are local to our area.

“The Seed Library has seeds that vary seasonally and include vegetables, fruits and herbs.

“Currently we have carrots, sweet corn, beetroot, tomatoes, rocket, gourd, rockmelon, chamomile, and cucumber, plus many more.”

40 Years of Teaching

By Marian SAMPSON

GENERATIONS of children hold special memories of Mrs Johnson, who has been teaching at the local public school for more than four decades.

Mrs Johnson told News Of The Area, “As I approach my last few weeks of teaching at Karuah Public School, I reflect on the wonderful students, staff and families that I have had the pleasure of knowing over the past 40-plus years at this beautiful school.”

Mrs Johnson arrived as a student teacher at

Karuah Public School for her practical teaching sessions in her second year of Teacher’s College in 1980.

She enjoyed it so much that she came straight back after graduation and stayed, with only a short stint at Mulwee Public School at Swan Bay on her resume apart from her time at Karuah.

Beginning as a casual teacher and later becoming a full time teacher, Mrs Johnson even spent time working with students she had taught as they progressed through their careers.

“I thank them (the students) for helping me develop a love of teaching,” she said.

“I am fortunate enough to still be friends with many of these ‘children’.

“I have since taught their children and even grandchildren.”

Mrs Johnson has also worked at the school in a support teacher capacity, assisting students who required extra assistance.

“It is in this position that I found my passion for teaching reading,” she said.

“To see the joy on a child’s

face when they realise they can read is not something that can be put into words.

“My role has had many titles, STLD, STL, LaST, and undergone many changes but teaching reading is what I have loved the most.”

For Mrs Johnson and her family, Karuah Public School is not just where she works; it is the school where her and her husband’s family attended and her grandson is currently a student at the school.

”They can all look back on a full and rounded education provided by this special school,” Mrs Johnson said.

“I cherish the lifelong friendships I have made and

still mourn the sad loss of some.”

Mrs Johnson has fostered an incredible bond with the Karuah community and she will always value the relationships that she has formed in the area.

“I often see ex-pupils out and about and love hearing where life has taken them.

“To all the wonderful students that I’ve spent valuable time with over the past 40 years, thank you for making my working life so fulfilling.

“I look forward to catching up with you all in the future whether it be at the football cheering on the Mighty Roos or just in the

RSL or down at the park, please always come and say hello.

“You have all been a big part of my life.

“To Mrs Lyle and the fabulous Karuah Public School staff, I know you will continue to foster the amazing love of learning that happens within the school,” she said.

“I have always loved the motto that ‘small schools are great schools’.”

The future is looking bright for Mr and Mrs Johnson; in their retirement together they are planning on doing lots of travel, both on motorbike and with a car and caravan.

First Women’s Safety Commissioner Appointed

DR HANNAH Tonkin has been appointed the state’s first Women’s Safety Commissioner.

Dr Tonkin is a Rhodes Scholar and former United Nations Lawyer, and was the Director for Disability Rights at the Australian Human Rights Commission in Sydney from 2019 - 2020.

She is currently a Barrister at Hanson Chambers in Adelaide and Garden Court Chambers in London, an Adjunct lecturer

at the University of Adelaide teaching international law and holds a seat as the Senior Co-Chair of the Women and Girls Rights Subcommittee of the Australian Lawyers for Human Rights.

Member of the Legislative Council, Aileen MacDonald, welcomed the appointment of Dr Tonkin.

“I am so pleased to see a woman of Dr Tonkin’s exceptional qualifications step up to this new and important role,” Mrs

MacDonald said.

“I look forward to seeing improvements to women’s safety in NSW under the leadership of Dr Tonkin, as we work to end violence against women.”

Minister for Women’s Safety and the Prevention of Domestic and Sexual Violence, Natalie Ward, said the accomplished Barrister brought a wealth of experience to the role.

“Women’s safety is a priority for the NSW Government and under the guidance and leadership of Dr Hannah Tonkin, I am confident we can continue

to make a great difference in the goal of ending violence against women,” Mrs Ward said.

“The Women’s Safety Commissioner will lead the implementation of our five-year plans to eliminate sexual, domestic and family violence as well as guide new coercive control laws once they come into effect.

“I look forward to working closely with Dr Tonkin and have no doubt she will be a passionate advocate for women and their right to live safely.”

Dr Tonkin will commence in the role in February 2023.

Renewable Power System Made In Tomago

By Marian SAMPSON

TOMAGO based Ampcontrol, together with Boundary Power, have in a joint venture with West Australian utility Horizon Power, successfully delivered the first onsite deployment of Solar Qube in regional NSW, marking the first time an Ampcontrol manufactured onsite, renewable StandAlone Power System (SAPS) has been deployed on the Australian East Coast.

Solar Qube is a selfsufficient renewable power generation unit that incorporates solar photovoltaic panels, inverters, battery storage technology and a backup generator.

The solution is fully workshop assembled, with all electrical testing and commissioning completed before the unit arrives at the deployment site.

The innovative solution

is designed to withstand extreme Australian conditions and will provide the end user with the confidence of continuous, reliable renewable power throughout the year.

“To have Boundary Power’s very first Solar Qube deployed into New South Wales, a market that is seeing significant growth, is exciting for the team who designed the product here in the Hunter Valley.

“We look forward to seeing the increase in demand from the east coast as they follow in Western Australia’s footsteps and embrace off-grid renewable SAPS to deliver energy into remote communities,” said Rod Henderson, Ampcontrol Managing Director and CEO.

Designed and manufactured by Ampcontrol, to date six Solar Qube SAPS have been fabricated, electrically fitted out, and

tested in the Tomago (NSW) workshop.

“It’s inspiring to be part of a renewed focus on sustainable energy with a product that is designed, engineered and manufactured on the East Coast,” said Jessica IrvineBrown, Ampcontrol Project Manager.

Solar Qube SAPS technology offers a renewable energy alternative that removes the need for ‘poles and wires’, increasing resilience, reliability, and safety of onsite energy provision.

This is the first time this utility provider has installed SAPS with the purpose of removing poles and replacing wires.

Speaking about the East Coast SAPS market, Amy Guo, the Boundary Power Business Manager, said, “Electricity network providers within Australia’s East Coast are

now able to embrace off-grid SAPS technology and provide alternative solutions to end users in remote locations.

“These SAPS products are safer and more reliable than traditional grid power.

“Renewable power is at the heart of Boundary

Power’s purpose.

“We assist utility providers in their vision to prioritise a cleaner, greener future for the communities through our products and services.”

The award-winning Solar Qube was recently featured

on Channel 10’s innovation showcasing series, Australia ByDesign where Ampcontrol Chief Technology Officer, Tim Wylie and Project Manager Jessica IrvineBrown showcased the under 90-minute deployment ability of Solar Qube.

Take care when disposing, storing unwanted distress beacons

By Marian SAMPSON

IF you are going boating offshore this summer you need an emergency beacon and many vessels that stay inshore will also be equipped with this safety equipment.

Some hikers also carry the beacons in case of emergencies.

Amidst the busy summer holidays, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is calling on owners of distress beacons to take care when handling, storing and disposing unwanted distress beacons.

2021 saw 1748 inadvertent activations of beacons across the country.

Distress beacons like EPIRBs (emergency positionindicating radio beacons)

and PLBs (personal locator beacons) can mean the difference between life and death in an emergency.

With the flick of a button or in some cases, water immersion, these technological marvels can signal for help and within minutes, some of Australia’s finest search and rescue crews are gearing up to come and save your life.

AMSA Response Centre Manager Kevin McEvoy says unfortunately, every year those same crews also waste precious and potentially lifesaving time on wild goose chases for beacons which have inadvertently activated.

“It might be a PLB that a hiker has thrown into their backpack which has been

crushed by other equipment, or maybe an incorrectly mounted float-free EPIRB which has switched on after being exposed to wet weather,” Mr McEvoy said.

“It could even be an old EPIRB that someone has carelessly thrown into a rubbish bin which has ended-up at a council tip and inadvertently activated.

“Beacons are sensitive pieces of equipment that need to be handled with care.

“Preventing a time wasting and embarrassing inadvertent activation is easy.

“For PLBs, keep these devices in a dedicated pocket on your clothing or on the exterior of your backpack, clear of other equipment which might crush or damage

it.

of kin’s contact details.”

“For EPIRBs, keep these in a safe and dry location which is easily accessible in an emergency.

“For EPIRBs in float-free set-ups like those mounted externally on commercial vessels, always make sure it’s perfectly aligned inside the housing with the cover closed as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.

“Also, be careful of highpressure hosing around a float-free EPIRB set-up which could dislodge and accidentally activate an incorrectly mounted device,” Mr McEvoy added.

“If you have an unwanted beacon, dispose of it responsibly.

“Find your nearest waste

management facility that will accept distress beacons and batteries.

“Remember, beacons don’t belong in the bin.”

What happens if your beacon has inadvertently activated?

“You’ll notice the strobe light is flashing and an audible beep.

“Switch it off quickly – if it has a water sensor, dry it – and contact AMSA on 1800 641 792 to call-off the search and rescue,” Mr McEvoy said.

“There are no penalties for an inadvertent activation.

“If we detect your beacon, we’ll also try to contact you.

“Always keep your beacon’s registration details up to date which includes your phone number and next

Mr McEvoy said getting the basics right of responsible beacon ownership helps ensure that critical search and rescue resources don’t go to waste.

“After all, if you’re in a genuine emergency and you activate your beacon, you want to know that a crew is looking for you and not a broken beacon in a bin in the burbs,” Mr McEvoy added.

Mick Chubb of Marine Rescue Lemon Tree Passage told News Of The Area, “We encourage people to maintain and test their EPIRB and when they are at the end of life disposed of them properly, as every activation, even after they are in landfill at a tip results in a call out.”

Mixed success for Pied Oystercatcher breeding on Corrie Island

By Marian SAMPSON

AS the local Pied Oystercatcher nesting season nears its end, MidCoast Council has advised on the success of hatchlings on Corrie Island, near Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest.

Shorebirds such as the endangered Pied Oystercatchers lay their eggs in shallow scraped-out nests in the sand.

Matthew Bell, Senior Ecologist at MidCoast Council told News Of The Area, “The pied oystercatchers are nearing the end of their nesting season.

“Of the six nests on Corrie Island, it seems like four nests failed due to predation, inundation and unknown causes.

“Of the two successful nests, three hatchlings were observed but we don’t know if the hatchlings have survived to fledge.

q Signage warning locals and visitors that shorebirds are nesting nearby.

“There was one nest early in the season at Winda Woppa, which hatched one young.

“A second nest has been observed recently, with two hatchlings present.”

Each successful hatching is vital for the tiny seabird as according to National Parks and Wildlife there are only 140 breeding pairs of Pied Oystercatchers in NSW.

Shorebirds nest on sandy

beaches along the NSW coastline, including Corrie Island Nature Reserve, Winda Woppa peninsula in Hawks Nest and the Worimi Conservation Lands.

Known nest sites may be indicated by fencing or signs, while parts of some beaches, such as those on Corrie Island, are entirely closed to visitors during the breeding months from August to March, to allow these birds space and

peace to raise their families.

Pied Oystercatchers with their black-and-white feathers, pink legs and red beaks are easily identified.

Almost always seen in pairs, they live in Australia year-round and have already started laying eggs.

‘Oystercatcher’ is bit of a misnomer, as this species eats many other invertebrates as well as oysters and other bivalve molluscs.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Visitors are reminded that dogs are not allowed on NPWS national parks, including Corrie Island Nature Reserve, at any time.

People are reminded penalties can apply to individuals causing disturbance or damage to threatened species, including their eggs or chicks.

Protection and monitoring of beach-nesting birds in Port Stephens is delivered by the

NSW Government’s Saving our Species program, MidCoast Council, NPWS, Biodiversity Conservation Division and the Myall Koala and Environment Group, and is supported by Hunter Local Land Services through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program.

Dorin’s Draws By Paul DORIN On theCouch

Dear Jasminda,

NEW Years Resolutions always overwhelm me. I start off well, but then fail.

What advice can you offer on making and keeping resolutions?

Grace P.

Dear Grace,

WHAT a languid, leisurely name. I think you should approach your resolutions in the same way.

Improving engagement with people with dementia

By Marian SAMPSON

PORT Stephens and the Myall Coast are home to two of the oldest populations in the state, with 46 percent of people living in Hawks Nest/Tea Gardens aged over 65.

This is more than twice the average for regional NSW at 20.4 percent.

Australian Institute of Health and Welfare estimates for 2021 indicate that there are around 386,200 people living with dementia in Australia, including 243,200 women and 143,000 men.

This is equivalent to fifteen people with dementia per 1,000 Australians (eighteen per 1,000 women and 11 per 1,000 men).

Now, organisations providing services to people with dementia will now have access to a guide to meaningful consultation with people living with the condition, their families, and carers.

The guide, ‘Half the Story’, has been produced by Dementia Australia.

Half the Story has been co-authored by people impacted by dementia for organisations to engage in meaningful consultation with people living with dementia, their families and carers.

Half the Story offers information, tips and strategies for inclusive consultation which seeks out, affirms and ratifies the voices of people impacted by dementia.

Eileen and Dubhg Taylor, Dementia Australia advocates, contributed to Half the Story, which Eileen said is an important guide for organisations as they need to be aware of, and proactively promote the concept of giving people living with dementia a voice that is heard and listened to.

“People living with dementia and their care partners want more than half the story told, they want the whole story told and understood,” said Eileen, who is living with dementia.

“By gaining a sound appreciation and understanding of the world of a person living with dementia, organisations can help tear down barriers and myths and create

dementia-friendly awareness which will benefit not just those living with dementia but the entire community.”

Dubhg Taylor, who is Eileen’s care partner, said meaningful consultation should not be tokenistic and means a person is able to actively contribute to decisions and directions.

“This can include acting as the honorary chair, being on any committees, speaking at meetings, or with the media, or simply attending a support group meeting,” Dubhg said.

“Meaningful consultation must be a personcentred approach encouraging and inviting people living with dementia to purposefully participate in the work of an organisation to which they belong.

“It is inclusively contributing to mindsets, skills, and abilities, while accepting that individual participation may vary, depending on abilities, personal histories, and available opportunities.”

People living with dementia are advocating and involved with Dementia Australia in many ways.

“They provide strategic advice on shaping dementia services, programs and policy development and are involved with campaign concepts, content and promotion.

“They are involved in research projects in the decision-making phases not just as participants.

“They have even been consultants on major film and television projects.”

Dementia Australia Chief Operating Officer Anthony Boffa said Half the Story will support organisations to set up their consultation process, refine their approach and increase their participation and engagement.

“This is a go-to resource for community groups, service providers, businesses and any other organisation who are delivering or developing a product or service which will impact the lives of people living with dementia, their families and carers,” Mr Boffa said.

“Meaningful consultation may mean that you need to work differently but it is well worth it and Half the Story is designed to help you every step of the way.

Instead of treating them like a ferocious lion to be tamed, see them as something more placid -- a swan gliding across a tranquil lake at sunrise -- a swan that doesn't want to be interrupted by rigid action plans. People who make unrealistic resolutions are doomed to fail, so it is wise to build up to any achievements if you are aiming for success beyond the first week of January.

Many people use the SMART acronym for setting and achieving goals, so let's give that a go, but aim low. In fact let's change the acronym altogether from Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-framed to Vague, Incalculable, Unlikely, Irrational and Adjustable.

I'll give you an example. Using the traditional SMART goal-setting technique, your resolution may be: I will reduce my intake of rum balls over the next month from 10 to 2 per day. Now where is the fun in that? I mean, there is absolutely zero inspiration for such a strict regime. No wonder we all end up depressed by February. Using the Vague, Incalculable, Unlikely, Irrational and Adjustable method, we can change the resolution to: Some time in the next month, or maybe the next season, I may run out of condensed milk, cocoa, coconut and Arrowroot biscuits, which will potentially prevent me from gorging myself sick on rum balls, but thankfully the shops are open all day, every day, allowing me to make and consume rum balls until I go into a food coma and/or quit my job and/or develop a food intolerance, but who cares? In the meantime, I feel sated and happy.

Now that's a goal worth pursuing.

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Enjoying the region’s world class National Parks

By Marian SAMPSON

THE Myall Coast and Port Stephens is home to an array of stunning and wild scenery, including the Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park and the incredible Mungo Brush and Myall Lakes National Parks.

This summer regional NSW can expect an influx of visitors from Sydney, ready to step out of the city and into one of 890 national parks and reserves around the state which offer a diverse range of accommodation options and activities for all ages and abilities.

Visitors to one of the Myall Coast region’s National Parks can expect to find some

of the most beautiful pristine environments left on the NSW coast.

Apart from seeing dingoes up close in Hawks Nest/Tea Gardens townships, visitors may also spot kangaroos, wallabies and even koalas all within close proximity to accommodation options.

Visitors are reminded, if they are seeking out a dingo encounter, to keep children close to an adult at all times and not to feed the dingoes.

For those venturing out on the Port Stephens Great Lakes Marine Park there is a wide array of birdlife, dolphins, seals, fish and even the odd shark to be seen in the region.

It also marks the return of the long standing tradition at Tanilba's Uniting Church

Left-over Christmas gift delivers Terrace woman a happy windfall

A RAYMOND Terrace woman who bought a Saturday Lotto ticket as a gift she didn’t end up needing has been floored by the revelation the left-over entry scored division one in last weekend’s draw.

The Port Stephens resident held one of the seven division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4323, drawn Saturday 24 December 2022. Each division one winning entry scored $823,588.63.

The winner declared the win was a “beautiful way to start 2023”.

Her winning entry was purchased at Raymond Terrace Newsagency, within the MarketPlace.

“On Boxing Day, I saw the ticket and thought I should check it,” the winning woman explained while speaking to an official from The Lott.

“When I first saw it had won, I thought, ‘yeah, that couldn’t be me’. Then I took a bit of a breath and looked again. I just couldn’t believe it!

“It feels more real to me when you say it to me.

“I’d actually bought this ticket as a gift for Christmas,

but didn’t end up needing it, so it was just left over.

“It’s just unreal! It’s thrown me into a spin. It’s got me thinking and made my day all in one.

“I’ve always said I’d have a lot of things to do with a division one prize, but now it’s happened, I don’t know anymore.

Across Australia, there were seven division one winning entries in Saturday Lotto draw 4323 – two each from Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria and one

NSW National Parks contribute about $18 million and 74,000 jobs to the NSW economy every year, and tourism to regional and rural national parks supports economic recovery, helping communities that have endured drought, bushfires and flooding.

New apps for summer road trips

THE road less travelled is a little easier to navigate this holiday season thanks to two innovative mobile applications to help drivers make the most of journeys on our state’s spectacular tourist drives.

Transport for NSW Executive Director, Advanced Analytics and Insights, Simone Roberts, said the apps have been endorsed following the NSW Road Trip Innovation Challenge, which asked innovators to improve road trip experiences and boost the recovery of regional tourism.

“We saw an opportunity to enhance the road trip experience for visitors in NSW by making our wellestablished tourist drives near our coastline to make it even easier to discover and explore,” Ms Roberts said.

“There were two outstanding solutions presented at the challenge which are now available to the public, one focused on gourmet food and the other on camping.”

Gourmakers CEO and Founder Zachary Sweeney said their app allows users to

plan road trip routes featuring points of interest such as local gourmet food producers.

“Gourmakers is a gourmet travel app which makes it easier to find the best gourmet venues across the NSW coastline and more.

“From berry farms to oyster shacks, Gourmakers has over 650 gourmet venues to discover and visit in NSW,” Mr Sweeney said.

TripTech COO Matt Johnson said they were thrilled to partner with TfNSW on enhancements to their CamperMate app.

Focused on camping and RVs, CamperMate features more than 100,000 points of interest and facilities and allows users to book campsites and activities directly through the app.

“New enhancements

include lesser-known routes and businesses in the coastal regions to help make planning and booking sites easier,” Mr Johnson said.

The summer holiday break is a great time to explore regional NSW and support flood-affected communities that have been doing it tough.

But Transport is warning that most regional highways have been impacted by extreme

weather and is asking road trippers to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, check for road closures and if a road is flooded, to find an alternate route.

Gourmakers and CamperMate can be downloaded through the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

CAMILLA’S COUNTRY LIFE

ABC, 7.30pm

Filmed before Camilla (pictured) became the Queen Consort, this polite exposé of King Charles’ wife hints at her playful side. Filmed to mark Camilla’s 75th birthday, it also commemorates CountryLife magazine’s 125th edition. We follow along as Camilla guest-edits the glossy, goes about her royal duties, reveals her charity work, visits her grandparents’ stately mansion and, of course, chatters about her love of gardening (“the countryside is not all buttercups and daisies”). There’s even appearances by old friends, including comedian Paul O’Grady.

Comedians Sam Taunton and Michael Hing will no doubt help deliver on The Project’s promise of “news delivered differently” when they join the popular panel show’s line-up for 2023. The quick-witted comics will sit alongside Waleed Aly, Sarah Harris, Hamish Macdonald and Georgie Tunny to unpack the day’s issues. A regular on the comedy festival circuit, Taunton is looking forward to making his mark on the show. “It’s a fresh cast and we’re all looking forward to creating something new and energetic that I think people will really respond to,” he said. “I’m also excited to steal Waleed’s opinions and use them as my own at dinner parties.”

The decision to have three Bachelors is just one of several shakeups to the franchise’s formula viewers can expect this season, with production of the long-running dating show also moving from Sydney to the glitzy Gold Coast. “Not only did we have to go to head office to say, ‘Can we have three Bachelors?’. That was easy!” host Osher Günsberg said. “It was, ‘But we wanna do it without candles, and we wanna do it without fairy lights’. That was a meeting we had to get through.” Looking for love this season are Victorian basketballer Felix Von Hofe, Melbourne musician Jed McIntosh and Italian-born restaurant manager Thomas Malucelli (pictured left to right).
