NATION BIDS FAREWELL TO A CROCODILE MAN << From Page 1
After being greeted by members of the Gumatj clan and Yothu Yindi Foundation, Mr Rudd was invited by Gumatj elders to view the preparations of a ceremonial dance which was soon to take place. Mr Rudd then greeted Dr Yunupingu’s widow, Yalmay, where he grasped her arms and passed on his condolences. He then took his seat next to Northern Territory Chief Minister Adam Giles where he sat for the duration of the three-hour service. ROLE IN EDUCATION REMEMBERED Throughout the service, speakers paid tribute to Dr Yunupingu’s important role in bridging gaps between Yolngu and Balanda education methods. Chief Minister Adam Giles spoke of his role as a teacher at Yirrkala School. “Dr Yunupingu should be remembered as one of the nation’s great teachers. “He was gifted in the classroom, where he taught countless children in his ground-breaking ‘both ways’ education system, weaving Aboriginal knowledge, language and traditions with Western
learning. “He went on to make history, as the Territory’s first Indigenous school principal. “But Dr Yununpingu was also a teacher on a much-bigger national stage; where he helped educate a generation of young Australians about his people and their aspirations.” Former Yirrkala School principals Leon White and Greg Wearne also spoke at the occasion. Mr White said we needed to remember the important contribution this Yolngu leader made as an educator in both the Yirrkala School and Yirrkala Homelands School communities. “He gave the opportunity for Yolngu voices to be heard.” YALMAY YUNUPINGU GIVES MOVING SPEECH Yalmay Yunupingu took to the stage wearing the orange headband her husband took to the world. “He took this headband to the world promoting Yolngu music, language and culture, in his attempt to bring down white Australian racism. “His headband was a symbol of strength and power, identifying who he was.” In the moving speech, Yalmay looked back at
her marriage to Dr Yunupingu. “We were married late in 1979. “We had an amazing journey together; growing up, working together in education, teaching in both-ways curriculum development.” She said at the beginning of her life with him, she never expected he would become a worldfamous person. “Through that journey we had good times, and bad times, like any marriage.” She spoke of the impact Yothu Yindi’s music had on the world. “Yothu Yindi grew up to be a much bigger band, and, before too long, they were world famous. “On stage there was always didgeridoo players, blowing to north, south, east and west; spreading his messages of Yolngu strength, culture and survival.” FRIENDS AND FAMILY SAY GOODBYE Friends and family came on to the stage one-by-one to pay their respects to Dr Yunupingu. His nephew, Geofferey Gurrumul Yunupingu, was lead on to the stage where he joined fellow Gumatj clan members to sing the song, Bapawarwa. Former Yothu Yindi band-mate Witiyana Marika
performed a ceremonial dance with a spear, in front of Yalmay and her six daughters. Old friend Peter Garrett MC’d the service, as well as joining in to sing with family, a rendition of the hymn, Just a Closer Walk With Thee. Musician and old friend Paul Kelly gave a speech which saw not a dry eye in the house. “Balance is the heart of life, is the heart of art. “Balance is the heart of the dance. “I thank you, man of balance. “I thank you, brother, long may you dance.” His brother, Djunga Djunga Yunupingu, said it had been a long journey for his clan and his people. “Not only Yolngu and the Territory, but throughout Australia.” Djunga Djunga relayed something once told to him by his brother. “He said to me: catch the rainbow, our mother’s clan, before it fades away. “Catch the beauty, before it fades away. “Let us hold each others hands and march together, and raise one flag, so we can all call Australia our home.” Dr Yunupingu’s memorial service was broadcast live across national television.

Life’s a blast on Territory Day
GOVEITES kicked off July with a bang, celebrating Territory Day with parties around the Peninsula. For just this one day of the year, fireworks are legal, and were able to be
purchased from the fine folks up at the Captain Cook Community Centre (4Cs). By 11am, 4Cs had sold out, with the crew having reached their fundraising goal of $10,000.
“This will allow us to replace the toilet roof and repair the building eaves,” said 4Cs committee member Peter Cox. “We’d like to thank the community for helping us to do this.”

New organisation to deliver RJCP A NEW organisation has been created to deliver the services of the new governmentfunded employment program, Remote Jobs and Communities Program (RJCP). Miwatj Employment Participation Limited has been set-up to facilitate the distribution
of RJCP, and will be headed by General Manager, Jeremy Kee. Mr Kee said last week that to get the new program flowing smoothly would take time. “Teething problems can be expected, as it is a new organisation and a new program.
Available
“But we will iron out any kinks as we see them, and as fast as we can.” The new organisation came into being after the predecessor program of RJCP, Community Development Employment Program (CDEP) ended on July 1.
End of era: No more CDEP LAYNHAPUY Homelands Aboriginal Corporation, the region’s lone provider of the Community Development Employment Program (CDEP), has bid farewell to about 20 CDEP staff after the program officially ended on July 1. After more than 30 years of supplying employment projects to the region, CDEP funding has been cut by the Federal Government in order to transition into a new program. The announcement of the cut was made in April last year, with the program pegged to replace it being the Remote Jobs and Communities Program, or RJCP, which likewise began on July 1. Chief Executive Officer of Laynhapuy Chris Marshall, who had been involved with CDEP on and off since its beginnings in 1977 in Milingimbi, said the new
program would be quite different. “I think CDEP was a very, very good thing that used to offer great flexibility to Aboriginal communities to be able to reward community effort, by portioning out wages to community members. “RJCP is much-more oriented towards employment services, and it tends to work more on the assumption that people, in receipt of any form of benefit or payment, are actively seeking work, or are making themselves job ready in some way. “I don’t think that sits very well with the values and lifestyle of Homelands living.” Mr Marshall said the loss of Laynhapuy’s CDEP workers would cause the organisation to struggle. “The whole structure of our organisation will be very much affected by the loss of CDEP, and we’re not alone in that.

Country singer challenges for Senate THERE’S a new spin on the race for the Northern Territory senate seat, with Aboriginal country musician Warren H. Williams (right) announced as the candidate for the Greens. Mr Williams will challenge former Olympic athlete Nova Peris for the seat, who was picked by former Prime Minister Julia Gillard to contest the seat for Labor. The ARIA-nominated singer Mr Williams said the election race should not be reduced to a contest between two high-profile Indigenous people. “I’m standing because I believe it’s the right thing to do, not because of any other candidate running, their name or the fact that they are Aboriginal or not,’’ he said. “I put my hand up for this; I didn’t get picked.’’ He named pushing for land rights, protecting the land and the Greens’ opposition to uranium mining as reasons why he wanted to represent the party. In the months leading up to the Federal election it is expected all candidates will campaign hard for the win, including heading to Gove to meet and greet with voters here.
Ms Peris was in the region in mid-June, where she met and spoke with local organisations and individuals about the issues affecting the area. Mr Williams is believed to be heading to the region to perform at the Garma Festival this August.
Company fined over unsafe prams THE Australian Consumer and Competition Commission (ACCC) has fined a company for supplying unsafe prams to remote East Arnhem Land communities. Remote communities will soon hear consumer safety ads in Yolngu-Matha, funded by company G & R Wills Holdings Pty Ltd, after the ACCC ruled they must do so. This was one of the rulings imposed after it was found the company had breached mandatory product safety standards in relation to baby walkers and strollers supplied into Indigenous
communities. They also faced a fine of $19,800. G & R Wills admitted that more than 1300 baby walkers did not contain general warning labels, and safety harnesses displayed the incorrect warning label. The majority of these were supplied in Arnhem Land. ACCC Northern Territory Regional Director Derek Farrell said broadcasts have been transmitted via Indigenous radio to provide the information in Yolngu-Matha and English to parents of young children.
“Businesses that supply products in remote Indigenous communities should know the ACCC has a proactive surveillance program and will take enforcement action to protect consumers,” Mr Farrell said. The prams were supplied to shops in the region from 2009 until 2012. Yolngu translator Sylvia Nulpin-ditj, originally from Milingimbi, said she spent many hours trying to find words in Yolngu-Matha to describe concepts like pram and the idea of a warning label on a product.

LIFE in Milyakburra just got a little less remote, with the installation of a free public internet system. With a single click, the small community located on Bickerton Island halfway between Groote Eylandt and the mainland coast of East Arnhem Land, can now log on with any WiFi enabled device. Director at the Northern Territory Library Jo McGill said the 60 residents in the small island community have now found themselves connected to the rest of the world with the new WiFi and satellite system. “Currently, fixed-line telephone services to the community are provided via wireless link back to an exchange on Groote Eylandt and they have no mobile coverage at all, making communications on the island community an issue. “For just over half the cost of a feasibility study, the community is now connected to the internet for the first time, thanks to the Australian Government funding, Parental and Community Engagement (PaCE) project and the Northern Territory Library.”
THE Northern Territory Government has announced it will put a $450,000 contribution towards an East Arnhem road upgrade. Chief Minister Adam Giles and Member for Arnhem Larisa Lee announced last week that the government would add their contribution to a $1.792 million upgrade of the Numbulwar Airport/Dump Road. Ms Lee said the project would provide a complete upgrade of the road and drainage network within
Numbulwar and include traffic management initiatives. “We know that the Airport/Dump road is inundated with water and mud once the monsoonal season is upon us, and there are no surface channels that take water from the road shoulder to a drainage system capable of managing the huge monsoonal volumes of water,” Ms Lee said. Upgrading of the Numbulwar Airport/Dump Road will be managed by the Roper Gulf Shire Council.

Just $10 to keep driver’s licence: Police On The Beat with
POLICE conducted a breathalyser blitz around the region during the weekend of June 21- 23, breath-testing 256 people to check for drink-driving. NT Three drivers were booked after they tested positive. The first was a 21-year-old man from Wallaby Beach who Police police said had never held a licence. He blew a medium-range reading of 0.088 per cent. A 31-year-old Yirrkala resident was booked after he blew a mid-range reading of 0.104 per cent while driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle. A 70-year-old man from Nhulunbuy was also charged, after he blew a mid-range reading of 0.081 on June 23. Nhulunbuy Police Senior Sergeant Brendan Muldoon said the results were disappointing. “Taking a taxi anywhere around the Nhulunbuy township costs from just $10 to $15. “Paying this amount could be paying to keep your licence.” Snr Sgt Muldoon said increases in traffic offences going on around town were concerning.
Three strikes’ system starts this week MONDAY of this week marked the beginning of a new three-strikes program which could see problem drinkers forced to take part in mandatory rehabilitation. The new legislation passed by the NT Government earlier this year means if a drinker is taken into protective custody three times in a two-month period, they may have to undertake treatment. The problem drinker would be handed over to Nhulunbuy Alcohol and Other Drugs Rehabilitation Services, and go through a process with a special tribunal to determine if they require the mandatory program. Those who the tribunal deter-
mines as needing treatment may have to spend up to 12 weeks in rehabilitation in Nhulunbuy. Snr Sgt Brendan Muldoon said the program could mean less alcohol-related crime on the streets. “For the police and the townspeople it may mean there are lower rates of anti-social behaviour around the town square. It could also help reduce the numbers of domestic violence cases.” Chief Minister Adam Giles said the program will offer problem drinkers access to the best medical treatment available. “To help them get control of their addiction and their lives, including the right to help from
qualified clinicians and counsellors. “The revolving door of protective custodies and sobering up shelters is not working.” Health Minister Robyn Lambley, who has been responsible for the Alcohol Rehabilitation portfolio since March, said the scheme aims to provide hope for some of the unhealthiest and most disadvantaged Territorians. “We also believe the families and communities fed up with drunkenness and anti-social behaviour deserve respite.” Ms Lambley said it was expected up to 800 problem drinkers would be treated Territory-wide every year.
NT Training Awards finalist Layna Nona Busch.
Training for top awards A GAGGLE of East Arnhem trainers and trainees have been announced as finalists for the 2013 Northern Territory Training Awards. This year, 35 finalists from across the NT have been recognised for their outstanding achievements in Vocational Education and Training (VET). Awards will be presented across 11 categories that take in trainees, VET students, trainers, employers and registered training organisations. The East Arnhem Finalists include Layna Nona Busch, who has been nominated as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year for her work with the ALERT Indigenous Training program at Pacific Aluminium’s Gove Operations. Nhulunbuy High student Harry Walker has been chosen for his exemplary work in VET courses in business and hospitality, while still at school. “I feel proud to be a shortlisted as a finalist because I’ve achieved so much in such a short time and it will be great on my resume for future job applications,” Harry said. Another local who made it on to the list was Tyrell Forbes, who is known as the go-to IT guy at Nhulunbuy High School. He has been completing a traineeship in the information technology industry at the high school. Also a finalist is Roslyn Malngumba, a teacher and founding member of the Arnhem Weavers, who lives in the remote East Arnhem community of Marpuru, which has a population of about 100. She teaches at the Mapuru Christian School, and has been recognised for her work gaining teaching qualification, Certificate IV in Education Support. Roslyn said she felt very proud to be picked. “I’ve never had this experience before. It’s a great honour for my elders, past and present, for Mapuru, for NT Christian Schools, as well as for all Yolngu to be one of the finalists.” The winners will be announced at the annual presentation on September 7, and have the chance to travel to Perth to represent the NT at the 2013 Australian Training Awards in November.

recently, he described the pair as, “funny little Spaniards”; a perfectly understated term used by an artist who has stood among the truly great peers of his time. Mr Wolseley was at the Yirrkala Arts Centre undertaking work for an upcoming exhibition to be held at the National Art Gallery of Victoria, of about 20 artworks of the Australian wetlands. His art not only reflects the Australian wilds, Mr Wolseley does himself; he seems to live, breathe and feel the nature around him. And he said North East Arnhem Land has always excited him. “It excites me because of the density of rare and wonderful species, and the fact that people here still know all about them, and have kept that knowledge alive.” He paints plants and explores the natural workings of the planet.

KIDS from across the country will be coming together at Garma Festival’s Youth Forum, to take part in a huge variety of star-studded programs and workshops. More than 15 different workshops will be run over the four days of Garma, from August 9-12, delivered by local organisations and community members. There will also be a few talented guests thrown into the mix, to share their knowledge about literature, music, indigenous culture, cooking and much more. Music workshops will be hosted by Cat Empire lead singer Felix Riebl, members of East Journey and songstress Shellie Morris. Kids can spin some vinyl at DJ workshops hosted by Gove’s Charly Templar. Through the support of the Literacy Foundation, famed Aussie children’s
author Alison Lester will be on hand to conduct writing workshops. Dhimurru and the Yirralka rangers will be providing bush education through their Learning on Country programs. Yirrkala School teachers will be giving Yolngu-Matha classes. There will also be a forum held to explain to the youngsters some reasons behind the national push for Constitutional Reform. General Manager of the Yothu Yindi Foundation
Denise Bowden said it was difficult for Australians of any age group to completely understand the subject of Constitutional Reform. “Some of Australia’s leading thinkers will speak with the youth about these important matters, plus general issues such as career pathways, well-being, social justice and reconciliation.” For more information, check out the Garma Festival website at www.yyf. com.au.

One scheme. One focus on individuals. One commitment to lifelong support. From 1 July, Australia’s current support system for people living with disability is being progressively replaced with DisabilityCare Australia. This new scheme will help provide a better quality of life for Australians with a significant and permanent disability, and for their families and carers too.
What’s new about DisabilityCare Australia? DisabilityCare Australia is a new way of funding personalised support for people with disability. As well as looking at a person’s immediate needs, it will take a lifelong approach and enable people with disability to have choice and control over their supports. It will focus on early intervention, recognising that timely support can minimise the impact of a disability on individuals, families and carers. Assistance will be provided at the right time, rather than only once people reach crisis.
Who is eligible? DisabilityCare Australia will help people who have a significant and permanent disability and who need assistance with everyday activities. This includes people whose disabilities are attributed to intellectual, cognitive, neurological, sensory, or physical impairment, or a psychiatric condition.
Will I lose my current support? No. Your current arrangements will stay in place until you have met DisabilityCare Australia to discuss your needs.
Will it affect my Disability Support Pension? No. Your Disability Support Pension will not be affected.
When does it all begin? DisabilityCare Australia is being rolled out in stages because it is a big change to the current system. Locations that start from July 2013 Barwon region of Victoria ...................................People aged 0-64 Hunter region of NSW ............................................People aged 0-64 South Australia ......................................................... Children aged 0-14 Tasmania .......................................................Young people aged 15-24 Locations that start from July 2014 ACT .............................................................................................People aged 0-64 Barkly region of NT ....................................................People aged 0-64 From July 2016, DisabilityCare Australia will continue to extend to more locations and age groups around Australia, including Queensland.

letters to the editor/comment A tribute to Dr Yunupingu THIS week, an edited version of my speech delivered at Dr Yunupingu’s state memorial service. I feel blessed to have lived in this unique, significant and culturally rich corner of north east Arnhemland, which has been my home for more than two decades. And I am both honoured and humbled to be invited by Dr Yunupingu’s family to speak at today’s memorial service. He was a great Australian, and recognised as such in 1992 as Australian of the Year for his role in building bridges of understanding between indigenous and non-indigenous, between Yolngu and Ngapaki. But he was first and foremost a passionate educator who knew that it was only through education and ‘two ways learning’, embracing bilingual education, that Yolngu children - djamarkuli - could walk in both worlds and have the capacity to cross that bridge between the cultural divide.
I first met Dr Yunupingu when I was a relatively new teacher to Nhulunbuy high school in 1990. His musical career was well advanced at this stage, and I was completely in awe of him as he stepped into the school staff room that day, keen to talk about ways that we could strengthen the relationship between Nhulunbuy and Yirrkala Schools, separated by a distance of just 20km, but a cultural divide which was a little harder to measure. But nonetheless, a bridge he was keen to build and I was right there with him as were my colleagues in wanting to bring Yolngu and Ngapaki kids together and find common ground. From his role as an educator, it was a natural extension of this work that he would be a dedicated advocate for reconciliation and recognition of Indigenous people. His life’s work included establishing the Yothu Yindi Foundation and the iconic Garma
Festival, an event dedicated to celebrating and teaching others about Indigenous culture and held on this very site where we are today. Above all, what I remember about him, was a man who was, apart from being incredibly charismatic, was also incredibly humble. In spite of his elevation to a national and international platform of fame, he remained first and foremost a strong Yolngu man, a family man and a man of strong culture. To Yalmay and your six beautiful daughters, I extend my sincere and heartfelt condolences. He was a proud and loving father and husband whose heart and love was always with you. To the Gumatj clan, and the vast Yolngu family of Dr Yunupingu, my condolences on the profound loss of a strong leader, an ambassador and a tireless advocate for Yolngu. Let me close by saying this.

LYNNE WALKER
Dr Yunupingu leaves behind an inspirational legacy which begs to be embraced and built upon. He would not want us to dwell upon his passing but to turn our sights with hope and optimism to the future and what needs to be done to make real his vision for self determination and a strong future for Yolngu kids. Humble man that he was, it was never about him; his hopes and aspirations were always about the next generation. We will always remember him with the utmost respect and admiration. Rest in peace, marrkap.

WHILE for most of the year Gove kids spend their time juggling school, sport and socialising, for a brief window they can spend it doing some actual juggling; as well as acrobatics, balancing tricks and plenty of other circus skills. Circus and Drama Week was held in Nhulunbuy last week, bringing kids together from around the region including from remote Homelands. The Anglicare-funded event kicked off on Monday, June 24, and ran through to a big performance at the Town Hall on Friday, June 28. Over the week, kids honed their talents for the performance, learning how to work as a team, tell a story and showcase their new circus skills. Circus Week facilitator Zoe Houghton said the story they told through their performance was a Yolngu tale, as relayed to them by Dhalulu Ganambarr-Stubbs. Prominent Yirrkala scholar and artist Ms Ganambarr-Stubbs has reportedly been turning the story into a children’s book, and the circus class thought it would be perfect to use for their performance. “We decided to bring in a story that could challenge the kids with new skills, and be accessible to both Yolngu and Ngapaki kids.” The week of workshops culminated in the big event at the Town Hall filled with parents and friends who came to see their colourful new skills. MC at the event was Sapphires star Shari Sebbens, who introduced all the circus acts as they came onstage. Circus and Drama Week has been running for three years so far.

Your Lucky
Stars
CANCER (June 22nd - July 23rd) This will be an excellent time to start a new project. It is important that you are prepared to keep going to the end, however. Prepare yourself for long nights. Romance. This may be a less than exciting week. Unfortunately, you have plenty of work to do and may not be giving enough attention to your partner.
LEO (July 24th - August 23rd) You may need to sort out your objectives. An approach which is firm but fair will work best. Plan carefully as this will be your guideline for the rest of the pursuit. Romance. This will be an excellent time for romance; but be careful of vague promises which are not backed up by action. Be aware of your expectations.
VIRGO (August 24th - September 23rd)
FOR KIDS
You may find it hard to forget an incident which happened many years ago. It has taught you a lesson that you can never forget. Let it drive you toward excellence. Romance. There are people in your networking circle that you haven’t contacted for some time. This is an excellent time to get in touch with them.
LIBRA (September 24th - October 23rd) A long trip away from home may be more exciting than you imagine. Don’t let other people put you off. You have the best of intentions with this voyage. Romance. If you are starting a new relationship, you may want to wait a few days before making a major move. There is no need to rush into things.
SCORPIO (October 24th - November 22nd) The Moon/Uranus Midpoint moving through your sign may attract you to an unusual new friend. Allow their quirks to make small changes in your train of thought. Romance. Your partner may approach you with a strange request this week. Ponder over this inquiry before giving any official acceptance or denial.

They may bring out things in yourself that you have long forgotten. Romance. Try to be fun-loving with your partner at the moment. They could use a lighter sense of humour this week and you’re just the right person.
FINDWORD No. 155 A LAUGH WITH LOTSA
CAPRICORN (December 22nd - January 20th) Your social life will soon take a turn for the better. A phone call from a friend could be just the prod you need to get started.

AQUARIUS (January 21st - February 19th) An intense discussion with a colleague will help you to get to the bottom of a difficult situation. You will have to be quite honest with your feelings, however. Romance. Your partner will be much livelier than they have been for some time.

You will be able to get on much better with your partner this week. A long discussion will show you just how much you have in common.
ARIES (March 21st - April 20th)
You may need to sort out a conflict between two of your best friends. One side will have to give in much more than the other. Be sure to remain neutral. Romance.

This work is less intensive and will require a smaller team to do the work. This trip also coincides with the end of the funding allocated, but Dhimurru is hopeful in obtaining future funding in the new financial year. The rangers also assisted the community on the island by removing weeds from around the buildings and playground, most of which were removed in their free time. Funding for this trip was from Caring for Our Country Community Action Grants.

Building blocks for digital education
THESE school holidays, a group of kids helped create cities, road and infrastructure to build a brand new world; all as they sat in front of computer screens. Northern Territory teacher Tim Wicks brought the first-ever Minecraft computer game camp to Gove last week, getting kids involved in the popular game so they could learn the
educational benefits. Mr Wicks, one of just five Googlecertified trainers in Australia, said Minecraft - a game about placing blocks to build anything you can imagine - could be an excellent tool in classrooms. “There’s the creative aspect, of building things, and when they’re

linked together there’s a teamwork element, about constructing something from scratch. “Minecraft is what’s termed a sandbox game, meaning the scope is endless.” A sandbox game is where a player can roam freely through a virtual world and is given considerable freedom in choosing how or when to approach objectives. Mr Wicks wants to see teachers have a go at the game, so they can see the possibility it holds. “The educational benefits are enormous.” The camp also taught children about cyber safety, and other important lessons for them as they grow-up in a digitally-based society. Mr Wicks said the camp was held like a classroom, where lessons were given on many different aspects of the game and the online world. The camp received a full-house of 27 participants aged 6 to 13 years old, and Mr Wicks said with the size of the waiting list, next time he could run two. “Principal of Nhulunbuy Primary School Matt Watson was the instigator. “He put his hand up for this, and it’s because of him that Gove got to do this,” he said. To get your kids logged on to a safe server so they can play Minecraft from home, contact info@minecraftbuddy. com.
Sailing on a Saturday breeze
Sail training coordinator Geoff Bridgfoot (third from left) offers free sail training every fortnight. Also pictured are Manish Patel, Graeme Dun and Indian visitor Dg Patel.
SAILING out with the breeze on the Gove Harbour doesn’t seem like a half-bad way to spend a Saturday morning. It’s also possible, even if you don’t own the resources yourself; free sail training lessons have begun, being given outside the Gove Yacht Club every fortnight. Sail Training Coordinator Geoff Bridgfoot kicked off the training on Saturday, June 22, taking two laser sail-boats out on the water and helping amateur sailors learn a few new skills. The training is open for all ages, from

AFL tipsters stunned again
Arafura Times
Three-way tie on top of NRL tipsters
Tipsters struggle TIPSTERS again struggled to find winners in round 16 of the Arafura Times/Arnhem Club NRL footy tipping competition on the weekend. No one got all six, with five the best on offer. The Tigers’ win against the Storm derailed most tipsters by as early as Friday night, with grimmus8u the only one to tip the right result, but grimmus8u undid the good work by tipping the Dragons to slay the Panthers. The Roosters and Sea Eagles clash had not been completed by the time the Arafura Times went to press on Monday night. Seven were on the ball with five grimmus8u, Kaffir, Wayno. Graham Hughes, marlinman, Forbesy and Andres Hoffman. With four were Travis Dehnert, Halwes, Killer, aaron tilley, Putty, Rose Becker, Jeremy 4X, doodlesuckernobagchc.
The weekend results have created a three-way tie for the lead, with Kaffir (5), Marlinman (5) and Andres Hoffman (5) all on 84. doodlesuckernobagchc (4) is three off the pace on 81, one ahead of Wayno (5) and Malkzok1 (3) on 80. 79: Jez (3), Graham Hughes (5). 78: Tanya Hoffman (3). 77: Halwes (4). Putty (4), grimmus8u (5). 76: Travis Dehnert (4), Killer (4). 75: Jeremy 4X (4). 74: Luke Cole (3), broccoli (2). The winner of the Arafura Times/ Arnhem Club NRL tipping competition wins $500. .
Leader board closes FOR the second week in succession two major upsets have undermined virtually all tipsters in round 14 of the Arafura Times/Arnhem Club AFL footy tipping competition on the weekend. No one among all the tipsters thought the Demons would account for Bulldogs and only a handful thought the Power would upset the Magpies. The consequence was that eight was the best score for the round. And then only one achieved that - Jez. There were seven with seven correct from nine - Forbesy, Duggie, waggy, David Gibson, Travis Dehnert, Noni Dj and Rose Becker. This has resulted in the leader board becoming very tight. There are now eight within three wins of the leader, Darren Nunn (6 correct) on 91. But others are queueing up behind him. Pleb (6), Forbesy (7) and Duggie (7) are all on 90, one ahead of hayden4x (6) and Waggy (7) on 89. David Gibson (7), Kaffir (6), crackers (6)

LAST Wednesday, on the same evening as another bloody battle - the one in the Labor caucus room between Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard - game two of State-ofOrigin took place at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. An army of both blue and maroon fans gathered at the Walkabout Tavern to cheer on the warring tribes. Staff cooked up a storm on the barbecue, and the Tavern’s resident DJ, Will K, announced giveaways galore. This time it was the mighty Cane Toads who walked away victorious, 26-6. The series is now tied at one a piece, with the decider less than a month away to be held in Sydney on July 17. Barry Walmsley, Dean Troughear and Coral Dennerley.

Vale Dr Yunupingu
Treaty
“
He connected many white Australians with Aboriginal culture for the first time, through the power of music. He taught us why reconciliation matters, and never let it slide from the national agenda. Dr Yunupingu was a man who walked in two worlds, leaving a lasting mark on both. He will forever have a place in the Territory’s heart.
”
Adam Giles NT Chief Minister
“
He was a loving husband, a loving father to our six daughters and a proud grandfather of six beautiful grandsons.
”
Yalmay Yunupingu Widow
“
You could see and hear Yothu Yindi’s influence everywhere. You could see and hear it directly, but their influence was much-wider, and more subtle than that. Their example gave pride and encouragement to indigenous bands all over the country. And to all bands and singers and artists, they showed us a way.

Wali Wunungmurra Bark Petition Signatory
What I remember about him was a man who, apart from being incredibly charismatic, was also incredibly humble. In spite of his elevation to a national and international platform of fame, he remained first and foremost a strong Yolngu man, a family man and a man of strong culture.

Lynne Walker Nhulunbuy MLA
“He was vibrant as a young man, and very engaging, highly intellectual in his discussions and very persuasive in his arguments for what eventually became ‘both-ways’ education. It was an argument to bring in Yolngu high-knowledge to the curriculum of the school and
