Missing man regarded as suspicious: Police seek help on case POLICE investigating the disappearance of former Cooktown man Bruce Gavin Schuler (pictured right) are appealing for anyone, with information on the incident or any suspicious or dangerous behaviours in the area in the past, to come forward. Mr Schuler, 48, was last seen around 9.30am on Monday, July 9, while prospecting with three others in the vicinity of the Palmer River near Palmerville Station. Detective Acting Inspector Ed Kinbacher, Far Northern Regional Crime Co-ordinator, said grave concerns were held for the man’s wellbeing, especially given the extended time Mr Schuler has remained missing. His disappearance is being treated as suspicious at this stage. A major investigation centre has been set up with more than 20 detectives involved in the case, including the Homicide Investigation Group. “ We a r e u r g i n g anyone with information as to Mr Schuler’s whereabouts to come forward immediately,” Detective Acting Inspector Kinbacher said. “It is quite possible that someone might

have information relating to the area, even if it is from as far back as 20 years, that may help us find the man’s whereabouts. “We would like to hear from anyone that may have been subjected in the past to threats or intimidating behaviour in the immediate vicinity where Mr Schuler went missing to come forward. “The community around Palmerville Station can expect an unprecedented level of police presence in the area and that this activity will continue until the investigation is completed. “Police are requesting the ongoing patience and cooperation of the community throughout this time.” Anyone with information on this matter can either call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Cairns Criminal Investigation Branch on 4030 7117.

Photo: GARY HUTCHISON. ALTHOUGH Daniel and Tess Buhmann were not able to raise as much money from their Discovery Festival weekend Zumbathon as they expected, they were still able to raise enough to help ease the discomfort dialysis patients suffer during treatment. Tess said their original goal was to buy eight portable DVD players with headphones, but the money raised was not quite enough to purchase four complete sets. “Thanks to Neil and Jenny Hook, proprietors of Everything Electrical from where we bought the items, we were able to make the four sets,” Tess said. “We raised $455 from the Zumbathon and Neil donated the last $65 to make up the rest. “While we had hoped to raise more, there was a lot going on that weekend.” Tess and Daniel made the drive from Cairns where they now live to Cooktown

to make their donation to the patients in Cooktown Hospital’s Renal Unit recently. Their desire to raise the funds was motivated by their own personal experience, having seen Daniel’s Dad, Wayne who died in late March after struggling with treatment for more than 30 years. “Wayne was diagnosed with kidney disease over 30 years ago,” she said. “He struggled, had a transplant and had been on both Haemo dialysis and Peritoneal dialysis, then endured much pain, so we’re fully aware of what the patients in the Unit are going through.” She said that while the donation might only be small, being able to watch DVDs on an individual player would make the patients’ time on the dialysis machines more tolerable. And Tess was quick to thank the people who had also helped them with the project.

“The Cooktown Blue Water Fishing Club provided the perfect setting, while Charlie Martin’s truck made a great stage for my fellow Zumba instructor, Kerry Brejnak,” she said. “Then there was the awesome sound system loaned to us by the Tipsy Gypsies, along with the funky beats of David Cass and Rodney Lousteau. “To them, we owe a big vote of thanks, along with the Cooktown Post Office, Cooktown Earthmoving & Quarrying, Ambience Boutique, Cooktown Pharmacy, Cape York Tyres and Cooktown Food Service for their fantastic prizes and sponsorship.” And in one last thank-you, she said, “Thanks to all the family, friends, donors and dancers, your charity and groovy moves have helped to give a little comfort, to those who must endure much discomfort for the majority of their lives.”

Lessons from sorry Bloomfield Bridge saga IT’S taken weeks of urging from the Wujal Wujal community and businesses throughout the region to get a partial answer to the completion date of the Bloomfield Crossing Bridge. It’s worth noting that funds have been allocated for the last two years now. The story came out like this: • DMR says that it’s really the responsibility of the Cairns Council, but that they (DMR) have a re-design (from some earlier unrevealed concept?) which is causing unspecified delays • Cairns Council says that they haven’t seen any design yet, but that they are prepared to fix the current crossing if necessary after the wet season • Based on advice given to him, Local State member David Kempton, who has been trying to get to the bottom of the whole story, anticipates a crossing completion by mid-2013. So, exactly as the community has been griping about for some months, it seems that

SERGE Petelin (right) is, a local lad with a quirky sense of humour, so when he recently saw a Cooktown-related question on a Google alert, he couldn’t help himself. He just had to answer it in his own inimitable way. Question: Do we need evening clothes on an APT Tour to Cape York? We are going on a 12-day tour from Cairns to Cape York with APT and there will be a couple of evenings we will be in motels. I am wondering if we need to pack something other than casual for these nights. Maybe somebody out there has been on one of these tours with APT and can help me. Thank you.

another wet season will come and go without a bridge. The “re-design” hasn’t been revealed. Most importantly, none of the bureaucracies concerned have been prepared to come out and say that they have stuffed up, nor what contingency safety and access plan will be put in place if the crossing is again wiped out. Or, if there is a plan. The business and community impact? No comment has been forthcoming. There are several important lessons to be learnt - but only if the parties are prepared to learn. The most important is to do with communication. Old-fashioned secrecy is no longer tolerated. It’s better to get a little egg on your face than being exposed later. I believe that all community and business people along the Track, plus the children who walk through the crossing’s waters on their way to school, deserve a more complete

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover sent back its first high-resolution pictures from its new home inside Gale Crater, offering a stunning view of the towering Mount Sharp. The three-mile-high mound - taller than any mountain in the continental United States - is Curiosity’s ultimate destination, a site that scientists believe may harbor evidence of habitats that could support life. The dark areas at the base of the mountain are sand dunes. Curiosity touched down at 1:32 am US EDT Monday in the northern part of Gale Crater about 6km from Mount Sharp.

Calling all singers to workshop MANY in Cooktown have heard about and some have seen the amazing Alteouise DeVaughn, Afro-American, mezzo soprano. She has been the highlight of several concerts at Nature’s PowerHouse since 2009. For two afternoons in August she will be leading choir workshops in Cooktown and you are invited to join in. As well as her operatic and concert performing experience, Alteouise has been a school teacher, a music teacher and a director of church choirs. “I don’t want people to be intimidated by the fact I am an opera singer,” she said. “I will be teaching people how to follow a score, how to interpret music and harmonise. “These are life-time skills they can take wherever they go, or work on their voice on their own. “We will go through everything that is included in music - rhythm, harmonies, silence, tempo and intonation. “But most of all, it will be fun!” She has a range of songs to select from once she meets choir members. She is
aware they need to be easy to learn as the Ho-Ro-Co Singers will have a performance at the opening night of the Cooktown & District Country Show the following Friday, August 24. “My background is in Negro Spirituals and Gospel music,” she said. “So I will teach the history of these genres and show how to sing this music from the soul, this music for the spirit. “Everyone has got that ability in them no matter which culture they come from.” This exciting opportunity to learn from a person of extensive experience with a lively personality to match, has been made possible through a Regional Arts Development Fund Grant plus the generous support of the Sovereign Resort Hotel, Pastor Peter Coates and Endeavour Travel and Transfers. However, we will need to ask for a contribution of $10 each towards costs - not a lot for such an opportunity. So please make a note in your diaries and on your calendars to come to these very special workshops at the Baptist Church in Hogg Street on Saturday, August 18 and Sunday, August 19 from 1-4 pm and for

‘Mr Fishing’ elected local Reef Committee chair League legend to visit Cooktown SHANE Webcke, one of rugby league’s greatest-ever front row forwards, will be visiting Cooktown on Saturday, August 18, to referee fund-raising activities which will benefit the Cooktown Junior Rugby League and Tennis Clubs. The day will start at 1.30pm with the great man refereeing junior league games until 3pm at the John Street Oval. As well as being able to have their photos taken with the former international, State of Origin and Broncos legend for $5, fans will also be able to buy autographed footballs too. A barbecue will be held during the afternoon. Then he will referee a sports trivia night at the Events Centre from 6.30pm, when he will prove that old rugby league adage that, “all the brains are in the front row”. Included in the night’s activities, will be a variety of raffles and an auction with prizes and products which will include Webcke’s autographed Australian, Queensland and Broncos jerseys, along with other prizes donated by the local community. Teams of eight are required for the trivia competition. Anyone interested in registering a team can do so by either calling Carmen Forward on 4069 5333 or by email: carmen. forward@justice.qld.gov.au for catering purposes. The price of $25 per person includes entry, a barbecue dinner and desserts.
COOKTOWN’S “Mr Fishing”, Cook Shire Councillor Russell Bowman was elected chair of the Cape York Local Marine Advisory Committee for the next three year term at the committee’s first meeting recently. It is one of 12 committees along the coast from Cape York to Bundaberg that provide input to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) on local marine issues. GBRMPA Chair Russell Reichelt said committee members would play an essential role in the future management of the Great Barrier Reef. “We will be looking to these committees for advice on how we achieve a balance between sustainable use and protecting the Reef for the future,” he said. “They will contribute to

the strategic assessment of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area that will identify the Reef’s values, the threats, and what we need to do to address them.” Mr Bowman welcomed the opportunity for the Cape York region to have a voice on Reef issues including drawstring bait netting, pollution and the expected effects of increased shipping in the area. “The Reef is a critical part of our lifestyle and we need to look after what we have now for the next generation to enjoy,” he said. “Committee members come from diverse backgrounds including primary industries, Indigenous and conservation sectors, recreational fishing and local government. “I’m confident we’ll be able to represent the views of Cape York communities.”
The Cape York Local Marine Advisory Committee area covers from the tip of Cape York in the north to the Daintree River in the south. The new committee includes experienced members who have returned for another three-year term, as well as new members who bring fresh ideas to the table. Established in 1999, the committees meet five times a year and undertake regional environmental projects. Committees operate in the Cape York, Douglas, Cairns, Cassowary Coast, Hinchinbrook, Townsville, Bowen-Burdekin, Whitsundays, Mackay, Capricorn Coast, Gladstone and Burnett regions. Earlier this year, there was a call for residents along the coast to nominate for the committees.

AS part of National Missing Persons Week, police have used specialist computer software to age a photograph of a woman who was last seen in Cooktown in 1996 in the hope it may lead to finding her. Police are hoping the release of Surekha Engledow’s photo might jog the memories of long-term Cape York residents. Mrs Engledow arrived in Brisbane with her husband and three children on May 23, 1996, from New Zealand, not long after which, they travelled to the Cairns and Cooktown area where Mrs Engledow was last seen with her family at the Allamanda Inn on June 12, 1996. The then 28-year-old has not been seen since. Cook Shire Mayor Peter Scott, who was the owner and manager of the Allamanda Inn at the time, said he remembers the family like it was yesterday. “She (Mrs Engledow) had come up with her husband and two kids heading for the Cape, but I’m not sure where,” he said. “I can remember talking to him (Mr Engledow) on the front lawn, and helping him put his tent up as a trial run - he hadn’t done it before. “They headed off for the Cape and, to my knowledge, she hasn’t been seen since.” Mr Scott said he and his wife Sayah had co-operated with police in their inquiries to the best of their abilities. Mrs Engledow is described as being of Indian appearance, 165cm tall, with slim build, black hair and brown eyes. Age progression is often used by police in long-term unsolved cases. In this case, police from the Operations Support Command’s Photographics Section used specialist software to assist with the progression. “We are hoping the use of this technique may provide us the information we need to solve this particular case,” Detective Superintendent Brian Wilkins of the State Crime Operations Command’s Homicide Investigation Group said. He said police will begin a missing person’s investigation with ground and hospital searches. The search will than move to the homes of friends and family members and other places the missing person was known to frequent. “It’s at this point that a number of missing persons are located,” Supt Wilkins said.
Police have used specialist computer software to age a photograph of Surekha Engledow, who was last seen in Cooktown in 1996 in the hope it may lead to finding her. Photo submitted. Police will also check the missing person’s bank accounts and telephone records. “It is always in the back of our mind from the beginning stages that a missing persons case could become a homicide investigation, so investigators can move off in other directions at this point,” Supt Wilkins said. Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously via 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au
Disappeared on pig-hunting trip in 2006 DARREN Brian McAllister (pictured) was last seen on November 20, 2006, in bushland near Cooktown. At the time he went missing, Darren was from Millaa Millaa and was pig hunting with a friend about 40km north west of the Holroyd River Station on the Holroyd Kendal Road, Cape York. He was not an experienced bushman and was a diabetic without insulin. At the time of his disappearance Police co-ordinated an extensive land and air search of the wooded area where he was last seen. Police used a helicopter, plane, an Aboriginal Tracker, both police and SES volunteers on foot and quad bikes.
The searches proved unsuccessful. Police and Darren’s family hold grave fears for his safety. At the time he went missing, Darren was described as being of Caucasian appearance, 35-yearsold, 170cm tall, slim build with a fair complexion, brown eyes and brown hair. Anyone with information which could assist police with their investigations should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously via 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppers.com.au 24hrs a day. Crime Stoppers is a charitable community volunteer organisation working in partnership with the Queensland Police Service.

Traveller finds Cooktown in Antarctica Story and photo by ERIC GEORGE JACQUI Sykes is well-known around Cooktown as a livewire on the arts scene. She has an air of cosmopolitan experience about her, and, my first question was, how did she end up in a small country town like Cooktown? “I was born and grew up in Adelaide. “My father was a solicitor, and my mother was a housewife. My sister is a journalist and arts writer. My mother’s father was a journalist, and as I grew up, the managing editor and then chairman of The Adelaide Advertiser. “My father was old enough for the war, and flew Lancasters and Mosquitoes with the RAF. He was a navigator. “He found it a very harrowing experience. He was in his early thirties, he was an intelligent man and navigating aircraft to drop bombs on innocent people was not something he enjoyed at all. “He was not someone who spoke about it, but not long before he died he started telling me a little about flying across The Channel. The Jacqui Sykes brought a wealth of journalistic and arts experience to Cooktown main stories he told when he when she settled here 10 years ago.

Qld suicide rates in young not declining SUICIDE has been the leading or second leading cause of preventable death for young people in Queensland since 2004. It has accounted for 145 deaths and, the rate at which children have taken their lives remains unacceptably high according to the latest figures from the Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian, which maintains the State’s Child Death Register. Queensland Children’s Commissioner Elizabeth Fraser said: “This clarifies the recent report from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) that the suicide rate generally in Australia has decreased over the past decade.”
“Despite what the ABS has stated, for Queensland children, the issue simply has not abated and I urge parents and the community to remain vigilant in identifying and responding to the risk factors of youth suicide in Queensland. Threats of suicide in particular, need to be taken seriously and help sought,” Ms Fraser said. Between 2004 and 2012, the rate of suicide deaths in Queensland has remained relatively stable, ranging from 1.5 to 1.9 deaths of children (per 100,000 children). “Suicide for this age group is occurring in significant numbers nationally and is an issue that requires accurate and comprehensive
national reporting. “Improving our understanding of the factors that increase suicide risk among children and young people can help in the development of future prevention efforts so they are well placed to protect the lives of some of Queensland’s most vulnerable children and young people.” Ms Fraser said. The Commission has released several publications related to youth suicide on its website at www. ccypcg.qld.gov.au. For more information call 07 3211 6982. Help can be sought from Kids Helpline by phoning 1800 551 800 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
strangely enough, on the cruise was a guy called D’Arcy Gallop.” So Jacqui’s deep interest with Cooktown and North Queensland started in Antarctica. On her first visit to Cooktown, Jacqui remembers being surprised by the number of really interesting people she met. By now, Jacqui was living in Sydney and working freelance for the ABC and SBS, and she was able to bring her television production work north. She produced a variety of programs all over Cape York before finally moving up here 10 years ago. She settled in quickly and became involved in artistic life around Cooktown. “Over the years I have been here, many tourists have expressed surprise that there is so much artistic and cultural depth in this small remote town. “They are amazed there is a space like Nature’s PowerHouse with the unique botanical illustrations of Vera Scarth-Johnson and the work of Charles Tanner - and even more amazed when they discover we have classical music
concerts of a high standard. “I love that pleasant surprise factor! As well as all that, we have a very active creative arts community. “There is always a lot going on here, especially during the Dry Season.” Jacqui has given a lot of energy to the promotion of classical music for Cooktown and has been one of the people behind the superb concerts we have had recently. She is enthusiastic about our choir, arranging professional training from Daniel Rojas, and in August, from Alteouise deVaughn. She seems to have our minds well catered for, so what would she like to see for the town itself? “I have to say that I am optimistic that the new Foreshore Plan for Cooktown as put forward by the Council will do a lot to improve areas like the Wharf and the road to the Powder Magazine. “But it is very important to me that any such plans recognise the rare natural beauty of this town and never allow it to become like everywhere else or, heaven forbid, prissy!”

Has the silly season arrived? IT seems to be Silly Season again, when our newspapers are full of unlikely stories that make you pause for thought, while you ask yourself Has the world gone crazy? That is exactly how I felt when I heard of Cairns Police doing their bit to boost tourist numbers by staging a mud wrestling contest at the Esplanade. Seems a possibly naughty man tried to escape the police by running out onto Cairns pristine waterfront beach, which everyone else knows is not sand but dark, glutinous mud of the very finest sort. Cue the lights, cue the music and our boys in blue sprinted out to catch him. Except the sprint rapidly became a squelch, and the neatly-pressed blue shirts disappeared under a thick layer of mud. Before long, tourists were lining the strand and clicking their cameras at a group of nearly indistinguishable mudmen struggling in a pile. It really was quite a show, with the home side taking time out to pull each other out of the mud’s sucking embrace before getting on with the job on hand, or sinking waist deep themselves. More and more tourists appeared with more and more cameras. The victorious team was applauded as they reached firm ground again and were hosed down by a fire truck called in for the purpose.
Great show, guys. Great effort, but here’s a tip. View Mud wrestling works much better if from you use young ladies in the Hill bikinis. Remember that for next time, and it will really be worth passing the hat around. What else? You’ll never believe it, but the Sainted Tony Abbott, Australian candidate for the next papal vacancy, has been reading Fifty Shades of Grey. This is a strange piece of ‘mommy porn’ featuring a young woman who enslaves herself to a rich businessman and, in three tedious volumes, goes on and on and on about how it feels. Really? Our Tony indulging in sleazy feminine stuff like that? Then again, the book’s hero is very big on domination, on whips and chains, on spanking, on total control and domination of the victim/heroine. Ah-ha! Now I understand his fascination. He has been lying on the beach daydreaming about controlling and dominating, with a side order of spanking and hand-cuffs thrown in. If only he could get his party colleagues to see things his way.

Rare gecko featured in walk COOKTOWN Bushwalkers chose the sandstones of the Laura Basin for their recent weekend adventure. Eleven of us, all locals, camped and were expertly led to some truly memorable places by Steve Trezise, a Jowalbinna Rock Art guide. Our first afternoon was spent taking in some of the breathtaking views across the escarpments and ABOVE: This gecko, Oedura Jowalbinna, is known only to have been sighted in gorges near our base, and walking the sandstone areas of the Laura River basin. a short distance to admire the RIGHT: Another species of gecko, Cyrtoddactylus Tuberculatua, was seen on the paintings by Aboriginal people at Cooktown Bushwalker’s trek last weekend. Giant Wallaroo Shelter near the crystal-clear Pine Tree Creek. We could identify many of the animals depicted and photographed them, and learnt of their meaning and history of the art from Steve before heading back to camp. That night, two of us went spot-lighting to look for geckos. Given the cold, we were very fortunate to see three species in the sandstones crevices. One of these, Oedura Jowalbinna, was described only recently and is known to date from only a small area of sandstone on Jowalbinna. Cooktown Bushwalkers Saturday was an all-day (from front left) Prue excursion.

We visited the Jowalbinna bush camp on the banks of Shephard’s Creek before moving on to the site of Patrick’s Hotel at the original Cobb & Co Coach Road to the Maytown Crossing of the creek. The flagstone floor, remnants of the kitchen and the bottle dump are still visible.

We walked; saw and learnt about Aboriginal rock art and observed some interesting wildlife - four species of geckos, two of skinks and 40 plus species of birds and a diverse array of plants, including some ephemeral forms not seen elsewhere by any of us. We had such a good and interesting time and the bush camp at Jowalbinna is so well-sited and appointed, that we are thinking our Christmas celebration might be held there in early December. Naturally, this will be discussed later. In the meantime, our next walk will be on August 26, 2012. Contact Prue on 4069 6527 after August 20 to verify the arrangements.

Abstudy safe, says Entsch FEDERAL Member for Leichhardt Warren Entsch has moved to reassure North Queenslanders that an attempt to abolish Abstudy support payments will not make it past scrutiny at a federal level. Mr Entsch said the narrow passing of the motion to scrap the financial assistance scheme, which took place at the LNP’s state convention in Brisbane last month, came from someone in the Young LNP who had “no understanding of the value of Abstudy”. “While the intentions were quite noble, this is not the way to go about addressing these concerns,” Mr Entsch said. “I think it is important not to take this in isolation, we need to also look at the subsequent emergency motion which was put forward - and strongly supported - as a direct consequence of the first motion going through. I think that is more reflective of the real situation.” Mr Entsch said the convention soon realised the implications and moved quickly to introduce an emergency motion asking the Federal Coalition to investigate the “most-effective and equitable mechanism to close the gap in indigenous education” and that was accepted comprehensively. “Abstudy is highly valued, particularly in remote communities,” Mr Entsch said. “What this situation allows, if nothing else, is to provide some debate about the issue, and hopefully see some decisions that will give us better outcomes. “But the original motion in its current form, not having passed any of the rigorous scrutiny required, won’t get past first base. “The community has no reason to be concerned.”

Journey home punctuated by pirates and typhoons William goes to China THE adventures of a Cooktown boy. William Charles Ah Shay was born in Cooktown in 1894. His father was Yu Eh Chaw (known as Charles Ah Shay) and his mother was a Scottish widow named Ada Cameron. Yu Eh Chaw was born in 1856 in Inn Way, Canton, China. In 1876, on hearing the news of the gold rush on the Palmer river, he made his way to Cooktown. Realising he was not about to make his fortune, he turned to supply foodstuffs to other miners and became a butcher. This butcher shop was possibly at the Normanby Railway Terminus on the Normanby River. This is where he could have met the Camerons, Colin and Ada - Jack also being a butcher and their residence is listed as being the Normanby Terminal. Ada Cameron married Charles Ah Shay on September 17 1894. She is recorded as being a widow, but there is not a record of Colin’s death.

1 Corinthians 13:11-13 11 When we were children, we thought and reasoned as children do. But when we grew up,we quit our childish ways. 12 Now all we can see of God is like a cloudy picture in a mirror. Later we will see him face to face. We don’t know everything, but then we will, just as God completely understands us. 13 For now there are faith,hope, and love. But of these three, the greatest is love. Since our Father wants us to mature in the faith, we should stop periodically and examine our lives to see if we’re making progress in this area. Physical growth is fairly easy to evaluate - all you need is a tape measure. But how can you tell if you’re growing spiritually? Let’s begin by considering how children develop. Desires: Have you noticed that your childhood toys no longer interest you? The maturing process changes our desires in the spiritual realm too.

CHALLENGE GAMES in TOWNSVILLE STUDENTS participating in the Special Education Program at Cooktown State School were fortunate enough to attend The Challenge Games in Townsville between July 24 and 27. This carnival has been running for 17 years and gets bigger and better every year. This year saw 780 students participating from 70 schools across north Queensland. Nine students with disabilities from CSS were selected to attend. Our A-team comprised Dayna DeWaal, Hohepa Hohaia, Nay Nay West, Jalun Baird-Flewell-Smith, Eden Oldaker, Matthew Talbott and Dane Brejnak. They were ably led by girls’ team captain Jaylaine Yoren and boys’ team captain Willy West. The events included 50m, 80m, 100m and 200m, plus relays, volleyball,
shotput, long jump, boccia, vortex and ball games. The students did well in all areas of sport and the participation levels were outstanding. The students attended a disco on the Wednesday night. Dancing queen Dayna boogied the night away while Jaylaine spent a fortune on glow sticks. The aquarium was a smashing hit as was the Rockpool - never too cold for a swim for these kids. The trip down was long but well worth it. Massive thanks go to all the community members who financed the trip, to Michael Graham for driving nine hours with a bus load of noisy kids and to Bonnie and Dominic for volunteering their time so generously. Gay Flynn HOSES Cooktown SEP Cooktown State School’s Special Ed went to Townsville recently to participate in the Challenge Games.

Living Well
WITH CLARE RICHARDS
WELCOME to the first weekly Living Well column. I’m Clare Richards, Cooktown Co-ordinator of the project “Living Well from Cooktown to Wujal Wujal; Healthy Communities Bloomfield Track”. Our first calendar of events for August will have arrived in your mail box. This monthly calendar will be followed by a longer printed newsletter every two months for pick up from local businesses and organisations. You can also find us online at www.healthybloomfieldtrack. org.au. This project is a partnership between Cook Shire Council and Wujal Wujal Shire Council, and I have a co-worker, Joh Anthonis, who covers the Bloomfield Valley. In this column I’ll provide recipes and interesting info about living well in our part of the world. Local produce Cassava is a good tropical replacement for potato that grows well in our climate. Like most starchy foods, it’s plain on its own. This is why it’s a great food to serve with tasty flavours like stews, curries and herb and spice based dishes. Consider planting cassava in your food garden. The important thing to know is that it will make you sick if you don’t cook it well. When preparing cassava, look out for any blue,
blue-green or black-ish colour in the white to cream flesh. If you see any, throw out the whole root. Blue to black colour indicates that the poisons that can develop in cassava have started, so it is no good to eat. If you watch out for these signs and cook it well you can safely eat it. Cassava grows from stem cuttings. Chop ones that are thicker (2cm+ is best) and about 30cm long. Leave them to dry under shade for a week, then plant. Half the cutting length should be buried in the soil. Harvestable roots will be ready in 7-10 months. Harvest all the roots once Cassava is a good tropical replacement for potato the plant starts flowering, and save cuttings that grows well in our climate, and is a great food to replant the next crop. Once it sets seed, to serve with tasty flavours like stews, curries the roots become tough. Cassava likes and herb and spice based dishes. Photo: CLARE regular water, but not too much, so plant RICHARDS. cassava is a good way to use older roots which away from any spots in the garden that get have gone tough. The flesh of younger roots boggy in the wet season. Always store cassava in the fridge as soon goes wonderfully fluffy when cooked. This recipe is packed with flavour and has as you harvest or buy it. Light and heat trigger the roots to produce their poisons. When buying converted people who haven’t liked cassava cassava, look at the broken or cut ends for before, so it’s a safe way to introduce people signs of blue or black streaks and don’t buy to trying this great tropical root vegetable. EDITOR’S NOTE: Cooktown Co-ordinator of these roots. Cassava has two skins - a rough brown the project Living Well from Cooktown to Wujal outer skin, and a white or cream inner bark.

Chewy Cassava & Corn Curry Slice Ingredients 700g finely grated cassava (about 2 medium or 1 larger root) 3 eggs 400ml (one can) reduced fat coconut milk 2 teaspoons curry powder 1 teaspoon sweet paprika 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups corn kernels 1 lightly packed cup (80g) grated low fat tasty cheese Method Preheat oven to 190oC. Wash then peel cassava, and cut into smaller sections. Grate on fine blade of food processor grater blade, or on fine side of a hand grater. Take a handful at a time and squeeze firmly over the sink to get rid of as much juice as possible. Place squeezed cassava into a mixing bowl. Mix eggs, coconut milk, curry powder, paprika and salt together well. Pour into cassava and combine well, then add the corn kernels. Mix again until well combined. Pour mixture into a medium sized non-stick cake tin and bake for 60 minutes or until top is golden and looking crunchy. Remove from oven, sprinkle over cheese, and return to oven for 10 - 15 minutes or until cheese is golden. Good for lunch with a salad, or for dinner with some fresh grilled fish and a salad or steam vegies.
NEWS
Along the BLOOMFIELD TRACK Visitors give thumbs up to Cooktown cuisine WE’VE all seen strangler figs around the rainforest. But have you seen a strangler melaleuca (paperbark) - i.e. a melaleuca strangling another tree? It’s survival of the fittest on display at Emmagen Creek. Life in the raw. As you approach Emmagen Creek from the south, you’ll see a beautiful cluster of paperbarks just near the croc warning sign. Have a good look for crocs, then at two paperbark trunks, inextricably intertwined around an Alexander Palm. They are actually squeezing the life out of the palm, which you can see as you look up the palm. Its trunk tapers off sharply towards the top and its fronds are
unhealthily spindly. It would be nice to know of other examples of strangler plants in the area, so please tell us about any that you know about. From the Emerald Isle to the emerald rainforest came two Irish visitors, Cathriona Moran and Steve Smith this week. They were fascinated to see the strangler paperbarks and to understand more about the Wet Tropics, especially as Cathriona is a biology teacher back home. She was eager to see first-hand how the Makassar Trench between Asia and New Guinea have impacted by keeping the flora and fauna of our area quite separate, and about the excellent learning materials on the
Magpie geese on Keatings Lagoon.
Wet Tropics Management Authority website (www.wtma.gov.au). Have a look yourself - it has some great information and photos. From trees to food. “It’s the best fish and chips we’ve had in Australia, and we’ve eaten fish almost every day from the Great Ocean Road to Port Douglas,” the Sinnot family from Maryland, alongside Washington DC, gave big wraps to the local Cooktown specialities from ‘Gill’d and Gutt’d’. “Sitting under the mango tree, overlooking the harbour. How good does it get?” Take a bow, Cooktown. You’re on the culinary map. The Sinnot family should know what they are talking about. Maryland sits on the mighty Chesapeake Bay, with its abundance of marine life and food. Think of Maryland chicken and Maryland Blue Crab Chowder, and the Baltimore Orioles Baseball team. “How about a Cooktown Seafood festival? You guys seem to have really good crabs, coral trout and lobsters, so maybe you could really get behind it to promote it. Cook it up in Cooktown!” The Sinnots couldn’t get enough of the simplicity,
unspoilt nature and remoteness of Cooktown and the Cape Trib/Cow Bay region. They were last seen waving around their boomerangs on the drive back to Port Douglas. We’ve seen plenty of crocs along the Bloomfield River during the week, as well as cassowaries strutting around the Cooper Creek area around dusk. Even more exciting, have been the hundreds of honking magpie geese sitting among the paperbarks at Keatings Lagoon. I’ve been waiting almost a year for their annual performance, and now, here they are. A great sight, even better if you can grab a good photo or two. Track travel remains spectacular, with the wonderful Coral Sea colours that we expect at this sunny winter period. Dusty of course, but the scenery very much compensates for this. Tides are okay and middling for the next few days. It’s a great time for travelling, so get out and enjoy it. Take a friend or two. Happy travelling Mike and Trish D’Arcy D’Arcy of Daintree 4WD Tours http://www.darcyofdaintree. com.au/ Ph: +61 7 4098 9180

Plastic, like diamonds, is forever: Time to use fewer bags BETWEEN 30 million and 50 million plastic bags enter the environment as litter in Australia each year. These environmentally damaging bags - produced to be used once and then thrown away - are a symbol of our disposable society. When future generations reflect on our convenience-maximising consumer behaviour, the permanence of disfigured, shredded, flying white flowers (A.K.A. plastic bags) will testify to a discard culture and dispose culture in the name of brief convenience. Like a globally pervasive cancer, plastic bags everywhere entangle, drown, asphyxiate, and starve animals that mistake their wavy, sun-struck allure for food. Bags adorn trees and fences, becoming the new indestructible urban weed. A colony of bags visible from space (it is 15 million square kilometres!) has accrued in the Pacific, an enormous soup of tiny plastic nodules. We know the bags do untold damage, but we only act on what costs us directly. Most of us are aware that plastic bags create litter, kill wild life, clog drains, inflicting wounds on wild and inhabited environs alike. But unfortunately, awareness of the peril of plastic has not changed behaviour at the check-out; if offered bags at no additional cost or inconvenience, most consumers will, without a second thought, allow their groceries or takeaway to be packed into lightweight 35-micron-thin polyethylene plastic bags that are usually used only once more to line their bins or pick up after
currents to a remote uninhabited Norwegian Arctic beach. One million plastic bags are used every minute worldwide - plastic is endemic at supermarkets, groceries, liquor stores, pharmacists, newsagents, and retailers. Whilst heart-rending photos of plastic-struck albatrosses, whales, seals, and turtles have not altered consumer behaviour, bans and levies on bags have clearly been effective. Ireland’s imposition of a plastic bag levy, or “plastax”, originally at 15 Euro cents later rising to 22 cents, slashed personal use from 328 bags per person a year in 2002 to just 18 in 2010. There was a 95% reduction in plastic bag litter and 90% of shoppers were using long-life bags within a year. The average Australian uses a staggering 345 plastic bags a year. On the encouraging side, lightweight check-out bags are now banned in South Australia, the Northern Territory and the ACT, where bag use and acceptability has since declined precipitously. Target banned bag use in June 2009. Australia still has some way to go, considering bans were imposed as early as 2008 in China (which had a three billion a year pre-ban habit), a country which cannot boast a strong record of eco-advocacy. After deadly floods attributed to storm drain obstruction by plastic products, Bangladesh has also taken action, as has South Africa, Kenya and Uganda. The United Nations has called for plastic bag bans to go global. Meanwhile, the Australian Retailers Association (ARA) argues that

their dogs. When it matters most, the community’s apparent support for reducing plastic bag use is not backed up by altered packing behaviour at the checkout. Most consumers do not: • Re-use bags for storage or carriage until they are irreparable; • Recycle single use bags; • Bring their own durable reinforced bags; • Refuse single use bags; • Ask for biodegradable or compostable bags. Bear in mind that no human has, or will ever witness the entirety of a discarded non-biodegradable bag’s natural decomposition since it was invented by Swedish engineer Sten Gustaf Thulin in the early 1960s and patented in 1965. We can only surmise that bags will take 50 generations to decompose, with most travelling through, or ending up in, Earth’s three elements: the soil (as landfill), water, and briefly afloat in air. According to the European Union (EU) Executive, Europe alone produced 3.4 million tonnes of plastic bag carriers - the equivalent in weight of 2 million cars - in 2008. Only 6% of plastic bags were recycled in the EU in 2010. Plastic bags are extraordinary travellers; I have had occasion to clear plastic litter delivered by trans-Siberian
reusing durable bags will lead to crosscontamination and infection-risks. The ARA has never acknowledged that all consumers (including those who make shopping trips with privately purchased durable bags) pay to subsidise single-use bags by paying higher retail prices. Some argue that the substitution of lightweight plastic bags with bin liners, paper bags, cardboard boxes and durable bags that are used just once could exact greater environmental cost. Don’t wait for policy: how to help now While the debate on plastic bag ban and levy rages, we can individually help by: • Support plastic bag bans or levies: 70% of 15,000 EU residents polled in 2011 support such a restrictive policy; • Use bags made from long-life, sustainably-sourced materials that last years; • Bring your own green durable bags for grocery, takeaway, and even retail
therapy; each needs to be used at least four times for a net eco-benefit, but they can be re-used over 100 times. As a lesser option, ask for biodegradable and compostable bags at the checkout; • Bring back damaged bags to recycling collection points; • Carry single items or a few items in your pockets or hands; • Refuse single-use lightweight bags even if they are apparently free; • Advocate for synthetic reusable bags as a must-have accessory for the eco-aware, as well as discounted groceries or Loyalty Points for declining bags; • Object to discardable plastic drink and food containers • Use newspaper for bin liners, or hose down unlined bins Plastic, somewhat like diamonds, is passed over many generations - an eternity in human terms. Let us all try restricting its supply and constraining its use, for the sake of our living, breathing, world.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
“
“
Middle age is when you’re sitting at home on a Saturday night and the telephone rings and you hope it isn’t for you.
– Ogden Nash
SOLUTIONS No. 110
You must be careful not to spend more than you normally do. Once you have started it may be very difficult to stop. Set a budget and stick to it! Romance. This would be a good week for a trip away from home. You will both be in a very romantic mood. Plan a trip to somewhere idealistic.
LEO (July 24th - August 23rd) The Mars/Moon Midpoint now in your sign will give you more energy than you know how to use. Pick up a sport to burn off some of this vigour. Romance. You might benefit from some time spent by yourself this week. Don’t allow your thoughts to be dominated by other people.

Cheer up: They really are just games The I KNEW I was not going to enjoy these three weeks. I am not a great sports spectator at the best of times, but now we have been swept away by an Olympic tsunami and life at home is quite unbearable. What has happened to the news? Have our politicians suddenly started talking sense and so become un-newsworthy? Have tourists stopped getting lost in the bush? No more late night street fights outside popular city clubs? I guess not, because we have twenty-four hour Olympic coverage
instead. Well, sort of coverage, anyway. The news cameras are not allowed to show any athletes actually strutting their stuff. Apart from Imparja, who paid for the privilege, all other television channels are limited to still photographs which are not the same thing at all. News coverage of the men’s 100m sprint, filmed by an inventive producer, consisted of a crowd of shouting Jamaicans in a pub jumping up and down in front of the television, and we are not even allowed to see the television
ourselves. That doesn’t seem to bother a sports-mad nation. Our ‘news’ programs are dominated by two peculiarly Australian feral pests - the Australian Sports Reporter and his even more obnoxious cousin, the Pompous Australian Sports Administrator. We know what to expect from them; the first one sprays the airwaves with continuous high volume gibberish, and the second one makes fat and complacent noises about our wonderful country while demanding more money to keep him and his friends comfortable.
Haley’s 45 drives other golfers to drink WHEN you walk into the club house, look up and see a score of 45 Stableford points already posted, you might as well buy a few beers, chill out and enjoy a game of no pressure. You’re not going to beat it! Congratulations to Paul Haley who won the Italian Restaurant weekly Stableford competition with those 45 points. Runner-up on 37 points was the persistent Julie Sauer. On Saturday, we played Bisque Par, an interesting game where you can manipulate your own handicap. It was won by Rick the Butler with +7 and Blue Hobbs as runner-up with +5. Nearest-The-Pins went to Kim Copland on 2/11, John Aldous on 14 and Alice Burton on 9/18. Sunday’s Cape York Tyres’-sponsored 9-hole competition was won by Graham
Burton with 34 strokes. It appears Graham had an even front and back nine as he leads the weekly Stroke comp In the with 68. Bunker This coming Saturday’s event is a 2-person Ambrose, a good time to practice without being handicapped. Also, a reminder to those who signed up for the club match play comp, the draw has been done, so check out who you’re matched with (their phone number is there as well) and complete by August 31. Remember this a self-funded comp, so please pay Kelly. And to those going to Atherton for their Open, good luck and play well. Good golfing C.C.
Eye f the
Not this time. Now they are singing a different tune, because Aussie athletes have not had a good run. On the table of medals won, Australia is currently languishing way down behind Poland, Ukraine and Ethiopia. Things are so bad that even the Kiwis have more medals than we do. We have been reduced to such humble status that we can’t even beat the Poms. Our television is filled with

weeping and moaning. Well, cheer up, lads. They are called the Olympic Games. That’s right, games - as in things we play to have fun. Win some, lose some, they are still games. Australia is not about to sink into the Pacific. Go for a run, kick a ball around, have fun and forget it.
Important changes to combat wasting disease BIOSECURITY Queensland is reminding cattle producers, both beef and dairy, that following a comprehensive review of the national approach to managing and preventing Bovine Johne’s Disease, a new National BJD strategic plan is now in effect. The new plan is based on risk management of Johne’s disease and divides Australia into four BJD areas /zones: Western Australia will continue as a Free Zone; Queensland, Northern Territory and the northern pastoral area of South Australia will remain Protected Zones; New South Wales and the southern agricultural area of South Australia will become Beef Protected Areas; and Victoria and Tasmania will be classified as Management Areas. Biosecurity Queensland principal
veterinary officer,Dr Lawrence Gavey said BJD is a serious wasting disease of cattle which can lead to loss of production and death and is seen more often in dairy herds than beef herds. BJD is also an infectious disease of goats, deer and alpacas. Dr Gavey said the disease affected animals by causing thickening of the intestinal wall resulting in a reduction in the normal absorption of food. “The disease is caused by a bacterium (Mycobacterium avium paratuberculosis) that lives mainly in animal intestines, but can also survive in the outside environment for several months,” he said. “The bacteria causing BJD can be brought onto a property by purchasing infected animals, agisting infected stock of unknown status or from straying
animals. “Cattle acquire infection at an early age through eating contaminated pasture or drinking contaminated milk or water.” Dr Gavey said Queensland was fortunate to maintain a very low incidence of BJD and its Protected Zone status. “However, it is essential that Queensland cattle owners and others wanting to introduce cattle from other states are aware that strict entry requirements applied to the introduction of cattle from other states and zones/areas,” he said. For full details of the National BJD Strategic Plan, visit www.bjdaware. com.au For more information about biosecurity, contact Biosecurity Queensland by calling 132 523 or visiting www. biosecurity.qld.gov.au

closely fought T20 round SUNDAY saw the second round of the T20 competition kick off with Council and Hope Vale battling out a closely-contested match. Hope Vale batted first and made an impressive 5 for 183, with their best batsmen - Selwyn 53, Harry 20, Phillip 18 and Nigel 13. The best bowlers for Council were Jade with 2/25 and Shaun H 1/11.

Best batsmen were Dom 47, Rob 16 and Ant 10, the best bowlers for BMP were Stumpy 1/2, Dally 2/12 and Brett 1/3.
The Panthers made their run chase a hard one, losing wickets all the way till the end, just making the required total with two wickets to spare. Their best batsmen were Geoffrey 61 who also took out the Man of the Match, Clive 32 and Stumpy 20. Best bowlers were Austo 2/8, Rob 2/7 and Snelly 2/22. A great day was had by all.

Bring on warmer weather LEFT: Adam with a solid sooty grunter. RIGHT: Steve from the Hospital with a baby catfish that had a heart of a lion attacking whatever with Richo lure that is almost as big as it. WHAT a week? Where does time go? Back to fishing - for queenfish in the river mouth, try the last of the run out and the first of the flood tides and be prepared for a battle. They are big fish and poppers are best; anything with a flash of green seems to work, but I don’t think it matters a lot. The tide plays a crucial part in the
equation. Mud crabs are stealing bait at the mouth of the Annan River, so that’s a great sign to target them. Grunter, trevally and pikey bream have also been reported in good numbers. Mark from ‘Gone Fishing’ is back after a short break and clients were
boasting some solid barra and fingermark from a trip on Sunday. They were also rewarded with a solid red emperor on a trip on Cooktown Reef Charters on Monday, along with a mixed bag of reef fish. Offshore has produced some coral trout, large mouth nannygai, golden trevally and the odd spanish mackerel,
but the forecast is not that promising for the outlook ahead. I cannot believe how cold August is this year - rule of thumb - we expect the water temperatures to start to rise late August in time for a lively start to the Spring as the first bit of warm weather fires up the fish and it’s a lure caster’s dream.
So come on “Mother Nature” it’s time for a warm break. Most of the keen fishermen are already planing trips to remote locations for the spring, so come and have a chat and stock up for the spring. Tight Lines Russell Bowman The Lure Shop

Maroons wing attack Sarah Frew weighs up her passing options as the Blues defence moves in to counter.
New approach to encourage adult players ORGANISERS of the Cooktown netball competition are taking a different approach to promote an increased adult involvement in their Monday night games. Concerned that senior players have lost some interest in the fledgling competition, juniors will be engaged in training and their own modified games from 6pm till 6.45pm, after which teams will be picked from the seniors who turn up for a game. “We’re between a rock and a hard place at the moment,” an organiser said. “We can understand where the seniors are coming from in relation to having to compete against juniors, but the competition has only just started. “So it’s a situation we haven’t had any control over,” a spokesperson for the competition said. “So we’re hoping those seniors will return on Monday nights and encourage other older women to come along and play to boost our senior numbers.
“But also show some patience until we can grow the competition.” Monday night’s game saw a 5-all draw between the Maroons and Blues, with both teams working hard to get the ball into their nets. Carly showed off her goal shooting skill, tossing goals in from far back in the circle, while Holly, Brianna and True proved to be too nimble for their defence, passing the ball swiftly to their team members. Bryce and Henry made up numbers and proved to be unstoppable as centres - towering above the girls and getting a bit confused between AFL and netball! Thanks to Roy for scoring and time keeping. Next week, players 12-and-under are asked to come to the Event Centre at 6pm for game skills, while ladies are asked to join us at 6.45 for a fun fast competition. Membership fees are $30 per single, then $2 per game or $5 per non-members.
THE finishing touches were added to the 2012 Three Rivers rugby league calendar at a well-attended meeting at the Cooktown RSL Memorial Club last Thursday night. With the Hope Vale Red Soil Rebels invited to play a curtain raiser to the Northern Pride game in Cairns this weekend, the last round of regular fixtures scheduled for tomorrow night have been postponed until next week. On Friday, August 17, the Rebels will kick-off the night when they do battle with the Wujal Wujal Yindili, with the match of the night featuring the Hope Vale Back Street Warriors from 8pm. Then on Saturday, September 1 the first round of finals will start with games drawn according to how the four teams finished in the regular competition. In the first game due to start at 6.30pm, the teams that finish first and second will kick off the night with the first semi-final at 6.30pm. The winner of that game will proceed straight to the September 29 grand final. Then the teams that finish third and fourth will do battle in the second semifinal, a knock-out game, which will see the loser eliminated from the competition. That game will start at 8pm. On Saturday, September 15, the loser of the first semi-final will do battle with the winner of the second semi-final from 6.30pm for the right to play off in the grand final. That game will see the Kuranda Junior Rugby League bringing teams to play against local juniors in curtain raisers to
the main game. Three Rivers League officials are hoping to showcase a rugby league extravaganza on grand final day, September 29, with arrangements being made for the eliminated teams to play curtain raisers against teams from Coen/Kowanyama, along with a women’s match. Local referee Scott Thomason, who has shown great promise and done an exemplary job in his first season as a senior referee, will be asked to referee the big one. Then on Saturday, October 6, the Matt Bowen Medal for the competition’s Best & Fairest will be presented, along with other awards at the League’s presentation night, which will feature a Hawaiian theme at the Cooktown RSL Memorial Club.

G’DAY again, Well, I’ve got to say that last week’s game against the Manly Sea Eagles has left me the sorest after a game than I have been for some time. We’re all a bit bruised after what was a really tough defensive encounter. The final score of 8-6 in their favour is proof of that statement. Manly defended really well and we just couldn’t crack them. In saying that though, we were guilty of letting ourselves down by making crucial errors - the little things that are often the difference between victory and defeat at NRL level. I think everybody played well and we certainly learned a lot from a game like that. We’ll be a better side for that game in the next couple of weeks, you can be sure of that. The things we will be looking to improve on are sticking to our game plan, completing our sets of six (tackles) and having a good kicking game - making sure our downtown kicks hit the turf rather than being caught on the full. For me personally, I feel it was my kicking game that let me down against the Sea Eagles, so I’ll be working on that for sure. On Saturday night we’re up against the Warriors at Dairy Farmers. Like Manly, they’re a big, physical side that you have to get control of early. They’re coming off a loss like us, and this late in the season, any further losses can be the difference between making the final eight or missing out all together. So you can bet your life there’ll be plenty of desperation from both sides. But we’re going into the game with confidence in our last performance against them, when we lost narrowly with our side badly depleted by State of Origin selections. I’m not sure about the final make-up of our side, but other than everyone being a bit sore, I don’t think there are any injuries and we should be playing the Warriors with the 7 NIGHTS same team as DINNER: we had against Manly. A WEEK, Wednesdays & Fridays, – 8pm Don’t forget to tune in, we’ll need all the 5support you can give. LUNCH: Wednesdays, Thursdays -MATT BOWEN& Fridays, 12 noon – 2pm

FOUR Full Boar fighters made their Muay Thai debuts with mixed results at Legal Assault VI in Atherton on Saturday night. The first local fighter on the card was “Bad Boy” Bradley Smith, from Ayton, taking on second-time fighter Dylan Brown, from Cairns. Sixteen-year-old Dylan gave 13-yearold Bradley a run for his money in the first round, but then Bradley found his feet a bit better and it was a fairly even affair in the second round. But in round three, Bradley really took charge and made his mark, winning his first fight. Next up from Full Boar was 11-year-old Sian Newman who stepped up to take on an older, heavier and more-experienced fighter after her original opponent pulled out. And heavy-hitting boxer Aaliiyah Fuamatu, from Cairns’ Hit-Pit Gym, didn’t

pull any punches, quickly finishing off the brave Cooktown youngster. Chook “Woomba” Michael was the next Cooktowner to step into the ring, when he took on Adam Letts, from Body Torque in Townsville. Chook started strong, landing consecutive leg kicks, but tired in the third round, letting Adam catch up on points and leaving the match a draw. The last local to fight was Joe Ford, matched with Tyson Faulk, also from Body Torque in Townsville. Both men came out smoking, but quickly burned through their energy and slowed right down in the final round. Joe landed more kicks than a mule, winning on points against a courageous Tyson who took the fight up to Joe all the way with big punches. Jack McInnes will fly to Brisbane later this week for his Muay Thai grab at a $10,000 purse in the Metro 111 Super 8 on Saturday night.
