Back beach clean-up

Mapoon Campus Junior Rangers Gregory Hudson and Nasonah Ase with some of the marine debris collected at the Back Beach clean-up.

ON Friday, May 18, 2012 Mapoon Campus Junior Rangers, fellow students from Years 3-6, Mapoon Land & Sea Ranger Stanley, teachers and several community members participated in a marine debris beach clean-up. The Head of Mapoon Campus, Baressa Frazer, who co-ordinated the biannual beach clean-up with Heidi Taylor from Tangaroa Blue, said the students

were well aware of the impact marine debris can have on their “country”. “Marine Debris is an international problem, and of course a common sight along the beaches of Mapoon, and the students are fully aware of the impact the debris can have on the local marine life of Mapoon,” Ms Frazer said. Ms Frazer explained that Tangaroa Blue Foundation is one of Australia’s few known non-profit organisations

which focuses purely on marine debris clean-up. “Heidi collects data regarding the types of debris collected from different parts of Australia. This data is integral to marine conservation as it helps identify where marine debris is coming from and proposes practical solutions to prevent marine debris from occurring,” Ms Frazer said.

South of Embley Project given green light by State Government RIO Tinto Alcan has welcomed the release of the Queensland Coordinator-General’s Report on the South of Embley Project to extend bauxite mining near Weipa, on Queensland’s Western Cape York Peninsula. The project will see Rio Tinto Alcan extend bauxite mining on an existing mining lease south of its current operations near Weipa and build new infrastructure including a power station, processing plant, warehouses, workshops, barge and ferry facilities and ship loading facilities. Rio Tinto Alcan president and chief executive officer, Bauxite and Alumina, Pat Fiore said the release of the Queensland Coordinator-General’s Report on the South of Embley Project was a significant milestone for the company, and the Queensland community. “The Weipa mine is a cornerstone for the company’s global aluminium business,” Mr Fiore said. “If approved, the $1 billion-plus project will underpin the continued operation of Rio Tinto Alcan’s alumina refinery operations in Gladstone, supporting the current expansion of our Yarwun alumina refinery as well as provide the ability to substantially grow our bauxite export capability. “The project will extend the life of the Weipa bauxite mining operations – which has an Indigenous workforce of more than 25 per cent – by about 40 years. “This means the mining operations will continue to generate employment and other economic benefits not only for the Western Cape, but for the broader Queensland community as well.” Weipa Town Authority chairman, Peter McCulkin said the positive response was the first major step forward with the South of Embley Project and must be very good news for Rio Tinto.

“From a WTA perspective I am very pleased that the Coordinator General has placed several very specific conditions on the company; in particular the requirement that before commencement of construction RTA prepare the Weipa demographic analysis in collaboration with the Department of Housing and Public Works and OESR, to inform the development of the Housing and Accommodation Master Plan,” Mr McCulkin said. Mr McCulkin said a further very positive condition related to the establishing and resourcing of the Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) Steering Committee. “The SIMP is necessary to demonstrate the proponent’s commitment to community engagement and to successfully maintain working relationships with key stakeholders for the term of the project. “The WTA will be represented in the membership along with our near neighbours, WCCCA and government.”

If approved the South of Embley Project will extend the life of the Rio Tinto Weipa bauxite mining operations by about 40 years. Photo: Giembra Busmer.

Mr McCulkin said it was pleasing to see the interests of sport fishing charter operators and recreational fishers has been acknowledged by the Coodinator General. “RTAW is required to enter into a Deed of Agreement with the chief executive, managing the Fisheries Act to ensure that all impacts to marine plants and tidal lands on the mining lease are offset in a way that is mutually acceptable to Fisheries Queensland and the proponent, and is in line with Fisheries Queensland Policy, which is great news,” he concluded.

all the other songs. It needs instant impact, or nothing. It will make it, or be forgotten instantly like yesterday’s Tweet or SMS. For the winner, there is the immense satisfaction of standing in the spotlights, holding a golden prize and crying through their national anthem. Australians would be absolute naturals for a competition like that. We love glitzy, we love competitions, and we hunger for those golden prizes. So how come we were not there? The stars of the show were the babushki from Buranovo, a group of older ladies from the Udmurt Republic of Central Russia. They have a problem. Their village of 658 souls lacks a church, and they lack the money to build one. They decided to raise funds by forming a pop group. They are not young - the six of them have 486 years between them - and they do not seem to have grasped the basics of stage presentation for female pop singers.

monwealth approval and other relevant permits and authorities are received. In addition, the usual Rio Tinto internal approvals will also be required. The Commonwealth approvals process is continuing. “The project will allow Rio Tinto Alcan to continue providing jobs and other opportunities for the people of the Western Cape and far north Queensland for generations to come. An average of 950 workers will be required for construction. During operation, employee numbers will range up to 1200 depending on production rates,” Mr Fiore said.

No spray-on clothes and high-kicking dances for them. They wear colourful head scarves, and many layers of traditional dresses (to keep the Russian cold out), topped off with their best pinafores - beautiful patchwork designs in red plus all sorts of other colours. They keep all twelve feet firmly on the ground as they sing, but they do bob vigorously up and down in time to their music. They look wonderfully like a line of Russian dolls on springs. The point is not whether they win (they didn’t, they came second) but that they have competed. And where were our grandmothers? Sitting on the veranda with a Dark ’n’ Stormy, no doubt. Australia deserves better. So Granny, go buy yourself new traditional daggy shorts and tee shirts, sew sequins onto your thongs, and start practising! I expect to see you up there next year.

Mapoon students help to preserve their country from page 1

According to Tangaroa Blue “it is estimated that more than one million seabirds and 100,000 marine animals are killed through ingestion or entanglement in marine debris each year, and that there is over 46,000 pieces of marine debris in each square mile of ocean. This marine debris is a direct threat to 20 Australian endangered species including whales and turtles. Mapoon students spent just under two hours walking along 260 metres of Back Beach, a local Mapoon beach, collecting every possible piece of rubbish. Students then assisted Heidi in sorting some of this rubbish into categories (see below).

“Mapoon kids are doing their bit to preserve their country for future generations, but it can’t be left up to them,� Ms Frazer said. “The students would like to encourage locals, tourists and visitors to the area to pick up a few items each visit, as every bit counts. “It could save a turtles life, ensure a shark doesn’t drown from suffocation and help endangered animals.� Students are also planning to recycle some of their collections to use in art and craft projects throughout the year.

Don’t miss the transit of Venus NEXT month a rare astronomical event with huge scientific significance will occur that won’t be seen again for 120 years. On June 6 at about 8.16am, Venus will start its journey across the Sun. The Transit of Venus is not only scientifically important, but it also played a huge role in the history of Australia. The 1769 transit was the main reason for Captain

Cook’s first voyage to the Pacific. After observing the transit from Tahiti, he opened sealed orders which instructed him to search for Terra Australis - and the rest, as they say, is history. For the 1769 transit not only was there Cook’s voyage, scientists travelled to Hudson Bay in Canada, Baja California, at the time under Spanish control, and Norway. The Czech astronomer

Christian Mayer was invited by Catherine the Great to observe the transit in Saint Petersburg. Members of Russian Academy of Sciences went to eight sites across the Russian Empire, and the American Philosophical Society erected three temporary observatories in Philadelphia. Spaceinfo.com.au says a transit occurs when one of the inner planets, in this case Venus, moves between

Earth and the Sun and we see it as a small black dot slowly crawling across the solar face. Transits of Venus are very rare. They happen in pairs eight years apart (so the last one was in 2004), but between pairs there is a gap of over 100 years. So the 20th century totally missed out, and after June there won’t be another one until the year 2117.

Venus will pass across the Sun on the morning of June 6, 2012.

Weipa airport to benefit from increased security INFRASTRUCTURE and Transport Minister, Anthony Albanese and Queensland Senator, Jan McLucas this week announced the Federal Government is delivering $321,200 to boost security for residents and passengers travelling through Weipa Airport. Weipa Airport will benefit from the government’s $200 million Strengthening Aviation Security Initiative, a national investment to strengthen domestic and international aviation security against new and emerging threats. At Weipa, the funding will provide: • two explosive trace detection machines, • one carry-on baggage screening machine, • one walk through metal detector machine, and • four hand-held metal detectors at Weipa Airport. “Over 55,000 passengers flew in and out of Weipa Airport last year. Their safety and security, and that of all Australian passengers is of the highest priority,” said Senator McLucas. “Delivering essential screening equipment to Australia’s major regional airports is a critical part of our national aviation security investment. “The government’s funding will allow airports like Weipa to be able to provide passenger screening from July 1, 2012.” The grant is being provided to the airport owneroperators RTA Weipa Pty Ltd.

Poor mobile coverage a big regional concern

Page 4 Western Cape Bulletin May 30, 2012

POOR mobile coverage across the nation is the biggest telecommunications concern for regional Australians, an independent review says. The businesspectator. com.au website reports the government released the 2011/12 Regional Telecommunications Independent Committee Review last week. It said the adequacy of mobile voice and broadband services was raised in all 20 regional locations and in around two-thirds of the 222 submissions. “The committee accepts that there are commercial limits to expanding mobile network coverage, but it is equally clear there is strong unmet demand in regional Australia for an expansion of the mobile coverage footprint,” the report said. Among the report’s 34

recommendations was for a jointly funded program by the commonwealth and states or territory governments to expand mobile coverage in regional Australia. Fixed-line phone services remained a key focus as it was the only reliable service for many people in regional Australia, review chair Rosemary Sinclair said. Ms Sinclair said regional consumers needed assurance that their interests would be protected as the telecommunications sector underwent significant change. The rollout of the national broadband network in regional Australia and the commitment to uniform national wholesale pricing were considered significant steps in providing reliable and affordable high-speed broadband services to the regions, Ms Sinclair said.

LETTERS Letters to the editor email: editor@westerncapebulletin.com.au

A message to all Cape York regional tourism operators and stakeholders THE Cape York region is one of the last pristine diversified wilderness and environmentally sensitive areas in Australia. It has become quite apparent that the rest of Australia and the world has discovered this fact and are heading up in our direction in ever increasing numbers. Tourism, in the past, has been partially supported by various government agencies in a very basic manner. There have been many strategies, reports and opinions submitted by these groups, the last being the Cape York Tourism Strategy 2008 -2011. This beautifully prepared document expired in November 2011, and apparently did not go anywhere in that period . Accepting advice and recommendations, together with little or no funding from Brisbane or Canberra through various agencies, should be changed to a Cape York Regional Tourism body, with direct contacts to the specific Australian or Queensland government departments. It has reached a point in time that tourism operators and stakeholders take charge of their own destiny. There is enough professional talent within the Cape, together with considerable investment placed in the tourism industry, to establish and operate a Cape York Regional Tourism body . There have been various changes made in the Cape with little or no discussion or engagement (eg Wild Rivers), with both Traditional Owners, communities and various stakeholders which has resulted in both confusion and disappointment. All parties need to be included in any discussion or proposed Cape

York planning for tourism and a regional body with a voice would assist in the process. The regional body should comprise interested stakeholders, who are not aligned politically, to develop the future of the industry that is achievable to the benefit of all in Cape York. There are plenty of parties from outside Cape York willing to enjoy a piece of the action, however the industry should be planned, and future development carried out by the stakeholders and communities within the Cape York Region. At present, we are a poor cousin to Brisbane and Canberra. The region needs its own voice, and if the tourism operators and people of Cape York are willing to work together they certainly can become a powerful lobby group. I will be supporting the move towards a Regional Cape York Tourism body owned by the people of Cape York, from within Cape York. Dick Foster, Director Tourism Industry and Small Business Cape York Natural Resource Management

Thank you for the support WEIPA Gymnastic Club wish to thank the following for their support: Weipa Town Authority, for the grant funding received this year to enable training for our coaches, and QCCU for their grant last year for our new balance beam. Also thanks to all who purchased raffle tickets in our Mothers Day raffle. First prize went to Kim Mitton, and second to Linda Murray. Without such support we would really struggle to cover training costs and the ongoing replacement costs of our equipment. We are looking forward to performing at the Weipa Fishing Classic on the long weekend, so see you there, and thanks again. Weipa Gymnasic Club Committee

A large crowd rocked out at the third annual Rock Quiz, held last Saturday night at the Carpentaria Golf club.

Weipa and fundraising go hand in hand THE generosity of Weipa was shining like the rising sun on a cold horizon. Pockets were short, and arms were long as the third annual Weipa Rockquiz was held at the Carpentaria Golf Club on Saturday night. The event was to raise money for the Western Cape College Ancient History Tour of Europe and Weiparites arrived in their droves. Electrifying MC Yvette Carter,

who again gave up her time and charm, had the crowd in a frenzy amidst laughing, smiles, competition, abuse, bribery and plain old fashioned rocking out to It’s a Long Way to the Top... and they really rocked. The competition was won fair and square (refer to the Fitzgerald Inquiry) by Crazy Pete, on behalf of The Anchorage, and the team from The Other Half,who bribed their way like a third world cop to the top of the competition. The top five winners then raffled off their prizes, including Qantaslink return flights to Cairns and a night’s stay at the Mercure Cairns Harbourside,

for extra fundraising towards the noble cause. As one of the sporadic big Weipa nights, it was impressive the numbers of rockers that arrived and simply had fun for a good cause. Weipa and fundraising just go hand in hand, and the charitable bones of us Cape Yorkers is there to be marvelled at. A big thanks goes to all the local businesses that provided their support and to the people; all of you who showed up and rocked it out because without you the night would not have been such a success.

A new high-speed, more reliable broadband network providing access to better services and greater opportunities. The National Broadband Network (NBN) is rolling out, prioritising regional Australia.

Anzac Day prize winner IN the April 18 edition of The Western Cape Bulletin we ran a competition which asked readers to send in a photograph of themselves, taken on ANZAC Day, to be in the draw for a unique prize. Major Jamie Heron submitted the photograph below, taken on ANZAC Day at the B Company, 51st Battalion FNQ Regiment’s Headquarters at Villers-Bretonneux Depot, Evans Landing. “I was trying to recreate a black and white photograph I saw on the television show, Living Black,” Jamie explained. “The original photograph was of a young Indigenous lad who became the mascot of the 51st Batallion during the 1960s, as he followed the then Major everywhere he went.” Jamie’s entry not only won him a limited edition of six medallions depicting images from the painting “the Spirit - Gallipoli Landing 1915” but he has also been entered into the draw to win a full-size canvas limited edition print.

The NBN will bring better access to healthcare, education and training, and greater connectivity to you and your community. To learn more about the National Broadband Network, visit australia.gov.au/nbn or call 1800 023 076

FOLLOWING a five-day inschool Vocal Threads residency Western Cape College students performed before a large audience at the Performing Arts Centre on Friday night. Sponsored by Rio Tinto, the Opera Queensland program was delivered to the students by five professional artists from the performing arts. Students spent the week working with director Sean Dennehy, soprano Dania Cornelius,

mezzo-soprano Louise Dorsman, tenor Bernard Wheaton and pianist Penelope Cashman where they learned about singing techniques, movement and stage direction. On Friday night the students, accompanied by the Opera Queensland professionals, took to the stage, with a backdrop created by the students and local Indigenous visual artist Marsha Hall. The final performance was dazzling and the students impressed

the large audience who had come to enjoy the culmination of their Vocal Threads residency. The audience was treated to a taste of opera, a brilliant rendition of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and plenty of singing and dancing. The students were presented with a certificate at the completion of the performance and all agreed participating in the Vocal Threads program was an opportunity not to be missed.

Police warn of fake ATO email scam POLICE are warning the public regarding a fraudulent email purporting to be from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) offering recipients a tax refund of $210.75. People are receiving an official looking ATO email including the ATO insignia from an email address containing the information @taxation. com Subject: ID: 46 – Tax Refund Notice ! The email advises the recipient to wait six to nine working days for their “refund” to be received and they are directed to click on a link which appears to start as a genuine “ato. gov.au” email address, but on closer inspection contains a “@hotmail. com” address within the link. The fraudsters tell the recipient they will record their IP address, date and time and threaten that deliberate wrong inputs are criminally pursued and persecuted. When directed to the

website recipients are confronted with an authentic looking web page and are required to enter an array of identity details, credit card number, estimated credit card balance and amongst other things to upload a scan of their driver’s license. After submitting these details the final page of the fraudster’s website redirects the recipient back to the “authentic” ATO website. These fraudsters are clearly targeting specific identity information and anyone who has responded to this fraudulent email needs to cancel their credit card immediately. Police also recommend to consider having your credit rating reviewed and perhaps monitored in the event these criminals have/or will attempt to seek a line of credit in your name. Police warn that this sophisticated attack is very similar to a recent Telstra phishing email attack and it is vital that

members of the public are vigilant when managing their email. “While fake emails like the ATO scam email are nothing new, people are still falling victim to it each day. This is very much a concern to us.” “It is also not uncommon for these phishing sites to infect their computer with a variety of malware, so it is vital that people have up to date anti-virus systems,” Detective Superintendent Brian Hay of the State Crime Operations Command’s Fraud and Corporate Crime Group said. Anyone with information which could assist police with their investigations should contact Crime Stoppers anonymously via 1800 333 000 or crimestoppers.com.au 24 hours a day. Crime Stoppers is a charitable community volunteer organisation working in partnership with the Queensland Police Service.

Don’t miss out on photo competition BUDDING photographers in Leichhardt are reminded that there are only a few days left until entries close for Federal MP Warren Entsch’s annual photography competition. Mr Entsch said the quality of images submitted so far had been outstanding, but he was hopeful that many more Far Northerners would contribute before entries close next week. From the entries, Mr Entsch will choose the top 12 shots to feature in his upcoming 2012-13 Community Calendar. The calendar, which was very well received in its inaugural year last year, will include the photographer’s name and details of where the photo was taken, and will be available to homes and businesses throughout the electorate. “Anyone who’s taken a photo that says something about the Far North and why we live here, who we are and what we do, I’d urge them to send it in as it’s a great opportunity for exposure,” Mr Entsch said. Images should be received on CD by close of business Monday, June 4, 2012 to PO Box 14 Bungalow, Queensland 4870. Alternatively, email a 300 dpi high resolution jpeg digital image to: warren. entsch.mp@aph.gov.au For further information or questions, please contact the Cairns electorate office on (07) 40 512 220.

New beacon tracker improves response time VOLUNTEER Marine Rescue Weipa has purchased a state of the art emergency beacon tracker, made possible by funding from the Weipa Town Authority. According to Crazy Pete, VMR Weipa president, the new unit is a great improvement over the previous tracking device, which was a cumbersome TV antennae type. “The big advantage of the new unit, aside from its compactness, is the unit’s ability to communicate by very high frequency with aircraft in the area.” Since the tragic loss of lives following the sinking of the Malu Sara the federal government has purchased five new Dornier search and rescue aircraft, one of which is based at the Cairns airport. These aircraft are a similar size to the Q400 aircraft operated by Qantas into Weipa. In almost all rescues now carried out by VMR Weipa the Dornier is tasked to assist, and is usually on site by the time VMR’s vessel Rescue 1 arrives on the scene.

Queensland Depots: Humbug Wharf, Weipa 24 Tingara Street, Portsmith

A VERY happy Rio Tinto Alcan Weipa general manager operations, Jo-Anne Scarini rang me on Wednesday night with the news that the Coordinator General had just issued his report on their Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the South of Embley Project. This now means that they have the conditions the State government requires in order for the project to proceed. This is a really significant milestone for the project and for the Weipa operation. The release of the Queensland Coordinator General’s report is but one step in the overall approval process, and going forward, Rio Tinto Alcan have been required by the Coordinator General to continue to work with all stakeholders throughout the life of the Project. This is being done conditionally by RTA through establishing and resourcing a Social Impact Management Plan (SIMP) Steering Committee. The Weipa Town Authority (WTA) will be represented on the Steering Committee, along with representatives from our near neighbouring Council, WCCCA and government. I am very pleased that the Coordinator General has placed several very specific conditions on the company; in particular the requirement that before commencement of construction RTA prepare the Weipa demographic analysis in collaboration with the Department of Housing and Public

Works and OESR, to inform the development of the Housing and Accommodation Master Plan. I am hopeful that either this master plan, or related studies, will also identify affordable housing options for Weipa, along with planning mechanisms to minimise impact on current house/land prices, with the reported numbers of houses, townhouses and units coming onto the local market in the short term. The WTA is hopeful that as a consequence of this very important first step for the SOE Project, that RTA will be able underpin our own Weipa Community Plan with its Strategic Plan or Strategic Vision for Weipa. This will be invaluable for any future investors. On a much less positive note, last weekend a number of youths decided to take to the streets here in Weipa with a can of yellow spraypaint and, for whatever misguided reason, ‘tagged’ road signs, public buildings, a Police vehicle, wheelie bins and the skatepark. The content of their ‘rants’ were totally offensive and will not be tolerated in this town. The Police, with assistance from Weipa Town Office staff were quickly able to identify the three culprits and they will have their day in court in June. Well done fellas. For those who still misguidedly barrack for NSW; it was a fair try, he should have got ten minutes in the bin and the final score was 18-10. Queenslander!

THE Lord silenced the Sadducees, (Sorry, last week I said Pharisees) when he quoted from the Books of the Scriptures called the Pentateuch that they particularly followed. After the barrage of questions, a teacher of the Law wanted to genuinely know which commandment is the most important of all. The Old Testament Law had over six hundred precepts and it was the usual thing to ask which one was the most important. The Lord showed how well he knew the Scriptures by quoting two verses from them, Deuteronomy Ch 6 vs 4-5 and Leviticus Ch 19 v 18.

The first reading from Deuteronomy says, “Israel, remember this! The Lord - and the Lord alone - is our God. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” The first parts of this sentence is called the Shema by Jewish people, and it’s said once in the morning and once at night to affirm Judaism and as a declaration of faith in the One God. The following words in that same sentence show that God expected his Jewish people then, and all peoples today who want to follow him, to love him without holding back, all of the time, not just

half-heartedly and sometimes. His very nature is love and he expects love and worship in return. Are you a sometime Christian? Do you show love and respect for God but only at Christmas and Easter? That’s twice a year you give him a thought or two. What if a couple said that they really loved each other, but only met twice a year in their relationship? I can’t see it lasting long. Can you? Jesus gave the teacher two answers to the one question and we will look at the second answer next week. God is love. Rev Michael Connolly

DIABETES AWARENESS

North Queensland writer’s latest book release

Take care, mind your diabetes online By Michelle Trute, CEO Diabetes Australia –Queensland

NEW statistics showing nearly half of all Australians living with diabetes suffer from general psychological distress has prompted Diabetes Queensland to launch an online diabetes self assessment tool. Minding Diabetes places an emphasis on the emotional health of people with diabetes. The website helps identify areas of diabetes-related distress, provides feedback and access to online resources, and a print-out of results that can be discussed with a health professional. New research from Diabetes Australia shows 40 per cent of all adults with diabetes suffer from general psychological distress while 35 per cent of adults with insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes and 28 per cent of adults with type 1 diabetes experience signs of moderate to severe diabetesrelated distress. Diabetes Queensland chief operations officer Taryn Black says Minding Diabetes is a very useful tool to address the anxiety experienced daily by people living with the condition. “Minding Diabetes is a great access point for people with diabetes to check their emotional health, and discover problem areas that need to be addressed with their health professional,� Ms Black said. “A diabetes diagnosis is complex and confusing, and can interrupt a person’s quality of life – emotionally as well as physically. “We want people in the diabetes community to feel supported in self-management – to get the care and education they deserve.� “This new online initiative is a quick and easy, non-intrusive way for people to open up about the emotional side of diabetes. “It will get them thinking beyond the condition’s physical burden, and help them deal with

feelings or attitudes they may not know are a problem.� Diabetes Queensland offers a range of additional programs to educate people with diabetes about living well with the condition: • Diabetes – What Now? is available across Queensland, focusing on essential information for people newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. • Diabetes Basics educates the school community about supporting children with type 1 diabetes. • EXPOsing diabetes is a fullpicture educational forum providing the latest information on blood glucose monitoring, foot and eye care, goal setting and coping with diagnosis. • Camps for children with type 1 diabetes are funded across the state every year. The Diabetes Queensland 1300 136 588 helpline is the first port of call for Queenslanders with diabetes seeking information or support. The call centre fields more than 65,000 inbound telephone calls per year or almost 250 calls every day. Minding Diabetes has been developed with funding from the Australian Government’s National Diabetes Services Scheme. The Minding Diabetes website, and more information about Diabetes Queensland programs and services, can be accessed via www. diabetesqld.org.au.

THE fifth book by North Queensland writer, Richard G. Tomkies, “Captured‌Based on the True Story of the Crew of the Ill-Fated Schooner Nightingaleâ€? has just been released. Richard’s previous books, “Cannibals’ Goldâ€?, Valley of the Damnedâ€?, “The Ghost of Cape Yorkâ€? and short story collection “Aussie Outback Yarnsâ€? have gripped the attention of thousands of readers. His latest offering, “Captured‌â€? is based on the true story of the crew and their skipper who were captured by wild Aborigines after being shipwrecked by a violent cyclone off the Whitsunday coast in Queensland, Australia, in February, 1864. The Nightingale, a small 29-ton schooner bound from Sydney to Bowen ran into a cyclone in the Whitsundays. Here the schooner, dismasted, became grounded and wrecked on a small uninhabited island. The crew managed to get ashore

Richard Tomkies latest book “Captured...� will be available in Weipa shortly.

safely after the gale had subsided. Eventually they managed to build a crude boat from some of the timber the vessel was carrying and set out for Port Dennison (now Bowen) their original destination. Prevailing strong winds helped carry them too far north, sailing as far as Magnetic Island near the present-day port of Townsville, before realising their mistake. Starting back for Bowen they were forced by headwinds to walk back along the coast, but were captured by a tribe of natives who

attacked and seriously injured their Captain, Thomas Quinn, leaving him badly injured. Held in captivity for many weeks they gradually become trusted by their captors and eventually, secretly, made friends with a tribe of “Little People� or pygmies, a separate race of natives – allegedly the original inhabitants of the tropical Queensland rainforest. These small natives were instrumental in helping the seamen to eventually escape their captors but not before their Captain had succumbed to his ill treatment and injuries. Although little information exists today about this brave band of shipwrecked survivors, the author, after much researching of other works on the subject and early newspaper clippings of the time, has managed to glean enough, along with a good deal of literary license, to shape a fascinating story of survival. “Captured...� will be available for sale at Weipa News and Sports Store in the near future.

By Wendy Protheroe, Parentline General Manager

Wendy’s Parenting Yarns I MET a couple of young boys recently who were skipping school for the day and getting up to no good in town. It turns out they skipped school because they couldn’t hear what the teacher was saying. They kept getting in trouble for not listening and for not being able to do the work. Both their mothers knew the boys had been getting into trouble but neither realised it was because they couldn’t hear the teacher.

They took the boys to the doctor for a hearing test. It turns out they had both had chronic ear infections throughout their childhood. The doctor told them ear infections that kept coming back could cause serious problems, including deafness. Chronic ear problems can affect kid’s ability to learn, can impact their memory and cause them to stop paying attention to teachers and parents. These mums wanted

the best for their children and they knew attending school would give them opportunities to get good jobs. They decided to get a group of mums together and invited the doctor to come and speak to them about the impacts of ear infections so they could prevent it happening in future. The doctor told them how important it was for the family to wash their hands regularly, how cigarette smoke can damage children’s ears

and eating lots of fruit and vegetables helped the immune system. These mums were glad they had been invited to listen to the doctor and learn there were simple things they could do to help their kids. Parentline counsellors provide a friendly, confidential support system. There is no shame in asking for advice. Call Parentline on 1300 30 1300 from 8am – 10pm, seven days a week.

The Newshound Sniffing out the stories about our four-legged friends...

with Jeany Schall

The health and nutrition advice jungle Unfortunately, the claims of “all naturalâ€?, “low fatâ€?, “low GIâ€? and even “organicâ€? products are not always the healthiest choice. There is really no way to find out what is in your packaged and refined food unless you read the label yourself. This can be very disheartening, as you may have no idea about the numbers letters and names of certain substances. I suggest you to get your hands on a book such as The Chemical Maze or Food Additives, or even download an application on your iPhone that can help you make informed choices while you’re shopping. Another option is to make meals with what is available to you in its most natural form. This will give you an opportunity to create a broader spectrum of nutritional sources. You will be surprised how much funky, good tasting, real food is out there. Tips to make your shop, pantry and body healthy: • Read your labels; • When choosing low fat options, check the sugar levels; • Stay clear of all trans fats (hydrogenated vegetable oils) • Stay clear of all artificial sweeteners, if you are a diabetic with a sweet tooth you may want to switch to natural alternatives, like stevia, xylitol or others; • If you don’t know what the numbers and letters on a label mean, don’t eat it; • Wash all vegetables and fresh fruit thoroughly as they contain quite a few chemicals to keep them nice and fresh over weeks and months; • Try new things - creativity in the kitchen can be fun, gives your palette a greater food range and provides a better coverage of nutrients, minerals and vitamins; • Choose fresh over packaged, and organic/home-grown over conventional.

YOU can read about it in magazines, research it on the internet, watch TV shows and get advice from friends and professionals: high protein diets, low fat diets, high carbohydrate diets, no sugar diets, more meat diets, less meat diets, raw or pre-packaged diets. All these diets have one thing in common, they conflict each other. One rule that has been proven to work well over thousands of years is, to keep your meals as natural as possible – which means as unprocessed and as unrefined as you can. Nature and time has proven to be very effective at keeping us alive over the centuries. But be aware...just because something is natural, doesn’t mean it will make you lose weight. If you eat too much of a good thing there is not much good left. Where does your food come from and what is the natural ingredient it is sourced from? Have a look in your cupboard, or make your next trip to the supermarket a healthy read. Read the labels of the foods you’ve been eating for years. There are many foods out there which claim to be healthy, and maybe the chemicals that are in them such as preservatives, colours, flavour enhancers and stabilisers are really beneficial to your health but ask yourself, if you are willing to take part in an experiment that no one knows how it is going to end? What if what I need is not available in its natural form? If you cannot stay away from unrefined food due to time, or availability, make sure you stick to the most natural products you can find. Read the ingredients, and see how much (usually displayed in percentage) of the food you’re looking for is actually in it. The Weste Bulletin rn Cape

CROSSWORD No. 100

SUDOKU No. 100

Your Lucky ARIES (March 21st - April 20th)

Time spent walking in the country will help you to calm down and focus your thoughts on an issue which has been troubling you recently. You need to make an important decision, and must get it right. Romance. A meeting on the way to work could prove more significant than it seems at the time. Your feelings towards this person may take a while to fully develop, however.

TAURUS (April 21st - May 21st)

Concerns about your work should soon be sorted out. You are a little bit of a worrier, and it is not surprising that you take this part of your life seriously. Romance. A comment about your appearance may get you down at first. The person concerned won’t be serious, however: find out what they really think about you!

GEMINI (May 22nd - June 21st)

FOR KIDS

A powerful aspect to Jupiter this week will give your luck a boost. Don’t miss an opportunity which is risky but which carries a big reward. Romance. Your ability to read between the lines will help you to see through a recent admirer. This person is not as straightforward as you may want to believe.

CANCER (June 22nd - July 23rd)

Don’t be surprised if you are asked for advice today. You may find that your ideas are taken a little more seriously than usual at the moment. Romance. A dream later in the week will help to focus your thoughts on recent events. The imagery in the dream should give you a deeper insight into your own feelings about what been happening around you.

LEO (July 24th - August 23rd)

A dream will tell you everything that you need to know about a new friend. Your feelings towards this person may be ambiguous: if you go through your dream carefully you will be able to piece everything together. Romance. Your partner may be behaving a little strangely at the moment. Try to find out what is going on.

VIRGO (August 24th - September 23rd)

FINDWORD No. 100 A LAUGH WITH LOTSA

Don’t give a secret away too soon! An air of mystery will make your friends believe that you are hiding more than you really are. Romance. Be careful not to be influenced too much by your emotions. You need a clear head at the moment.

LIBRA (September 24th - October 23rd)

A move which is not really in your best interests should be forgotten about. You want to make a change in your career but this is not the right time. Romance. You might be feeling a little bit unloved. Let your partner know that you would like more support before this issue starts to create tension between you.

SCORPIO (October 24th - November 22nd)

For all your printing needs – www.lotsa.com.au

MUDDY RIVER

A surge of will-power is all you need to finally break a bad habit. Do your best not to slip back into your old ways! Romance. Your romantic life could be a little low-key at the moment.You may have to wait a week or so before things liven up. Be patient, and don’t make any rash moves in the meantime!

SAGITTARIUS (November 23rd - December 21st)

A more positive attitude will help you to get over a frustration which has been dogging you over the past few weeks. Romance. You will be surprised when someone whom you were introduced to wants to get in touch. This person may not have made much of an impact on you at the time, but they will do so soon!

CAPRICORN (December 22nd - January 20th)

Someone will let you down rather badly this week, perhaps without meaning to. Be careful of a situation which seems too good to be true. Romance. Your friends will be intrigued to find out more about the person you have been spending so much time with recently. Keep the mystery up as long as you can.

AQUARIUS (January 21st - February 19th)

QUOTE OF THE DAY If you want to make peace, you don’t talk to your friends. You talk to your enemies. – Moshe Dayan Page 18 Western Cape Bulletin May 30, 2012

SOLUTIONS No. 100

A friend whom you have not seen for a long time will shortly come back into your life. This person has changed a lot since the last time you saw them. Romance. Your emotions will be especially strong at the moment. You will respond well, so long as your partner treats you gently and with respect.

PISCES (February 20th - March 20th)

A friend whom you can normally rely on may suddenly let you down. This might not be the best time to put pressure on them, however, as they have other problems which you are not aware of. Romance. Your relationship will gradually strengthen over this week, so long as you are patient. If you try to rush things you will lose more than you gain.

ROUND 13 – Fri, JUNE 1 – Mon, JUNE 4 Titans v Cowboys @ Skilled Park Sea Eagles v Dragons @ Brookvale Oval SAT, JUNE 2 Raiders v Wests Tigers @ Canberra Stadium Bulldogs v Rabbitohs @ ANZ Stadium SUN, JUNE 3 Broncos v Knights @ Suncorp Stadium Warriors v Storm @ Mt Smart Stadium MON, JUNE 4 Eels v Sharks @ Parramatta Stadium BYE Panthers and Roosters

Marshall magic that helped the Tigers to victory. Somehow the Panthers had a convincing win and clipped the Sea Eagles wings in a dominant display in Western Sydney. Monday night footy between the Bulldogs and Roosters saw Krisnan Inu light up Allianz Stadium with an electrifying performance on debut with two tries, setting up a third and kicking three goals sealing the Roosters third straight loss. On a sad note, I just want to say I lost a very close friend of mine last Friday in a car accident. Francis Mosby was a young man who was destined to become a great leader for his people. Maia boy also was a very talented rugby league player and I’m sure he was very close to making his Northern Pride debut in 2012. This great young man will be sorely missed and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family, who I think about every day. The Northern Pride are certainly back in the winner’s circle by beating another competition heavyweight, Redcliffe on

Scotty’s AFL round-up Years ago I would have thought nothing of backing up after a big night out and doing it all again the day after. These days it’s taken me seven days and counting to get over last weekend in Melbourne, and the week since has been punctuated by lethargy and disinterest in pretty much everything. The household has seemed to be in a state of disarray. Maybe it’s because Management and the kids just couldn’t do without me for five days in a row and they are yet to settle back into their usual routine. More likely, it’s to do with the ongoing adventures caused by what is quickly becoming the feline version of your classic drama queen, Azrael. I’m not sure if she’s been sitting in front of too many episodes of Real Housewives of New Jersey (Management seems to have those shows on constant replay) or if she’s taking out her frustration at having to squat in a tray full of paper pellets, but either way she’s causing havoc. Even the once mild mannered Dastardly Fouls in the backyard have taken a cue

from her book of behaviour and started beating up the Three Legged Houdini on a daily basis. The poor dog doesn’t know which way to turn, cop one around the ears from Azrael or face up to two big breasted, pointy beaked pheasants in the backyard. It’s no wonder she keeps running away, made even more attractive by the fact that the guys at Head Office can’t seem to catch her when she’s out. (The odds on her turning up in the back of the divvy van have blown right out to 25-1, so slip down to the Alby and put a tenner on, she’s a safe bet.) Maybe we’re all feeling funny due to the passion got so many doyens of disco in the last few weeks. Donna Summer, Robin Gibb, who have I forgotten and who will be next? It’s left me a bit lost and clutching even more to the memories captured in Saturday Night Fever. Speaking of which, the Rock Quiz night at the Golfys on Saturday was a ripper, and a huge crowd turned out to see people throw their money at the MC and

Queensland gives NSW another does of the blues The Queensland Maroons have done it again. Poor old NSW just can’t take a trick can they? And all we hear now is the Blues crying over spilt milk. The try to Greg Inglis was a try, as it states in the rule book, but I firmly believe any other given game it would have been a knock-on. At the end of the day Queensland were still in the lead by two points. All I can say is that I’m very proud to be a Queenslander and I can feel a seventh straight victory coming very soon. Round 12 results produced some very mind boggling results - who would be a footy tipster? The mighty Storm outclassed a gutsy Broncos, while the Rabbitohs were too fast, big and powerful for a undermanned Raiders. Super Saturday saw the unpredictable and boring Titans overcome a injuryriddled Knights team, while the Dragons and Eels produced a blockbuster with the Dragons winning in the last minute. My beloved Cowboys were in a real battle, and it was only some Benji

NRL TIPPER’S SCOREBOARD

Saturday afternoon. It was a very emotional game and victory for our very own born-and-bred local boys. With Captain Ty Williams leading the way every Queensland Cup team is now looking over their shoulders as the Pride Train has certainly taken off.

ROUND 10 – Fri, JUNE 1 - Sun, JUNE 3 FRI, JUNE 1 St Kilda v Richmond @ Etihad Stadium SAT, JUNE 2 Geelong v GWS @ Skilled Stadium Hawthorn v North Melbourne @ Aurora Stadium Fremantle v Adelaide @ Patersons Stadium Essendon v Melbourne @ MCG Port Adelaide v Carlton @ AAMI Stadium SUN, June 3 Brisbane v West Coast @ Gabba Sydney v Western Bulldogs @ SCG Collingwood v Gold Coast @ MCG answer a few questions about music. A well-run event that provided a heap of entertainment. Congrats to all involved, and best wishes to the history students who will be off on a world tour to study the history of disco. The weekend in the tips can only be described as a train-wreck for me. Saturday was almost as bad as not putting my tips in at all (last week’s mistake). I managed one on Saturday, thank heavens for the Bombers. I got the Cats in a scrap over the Dogs (can’t see the Cats getting there this year based on form thus far), and had a better day of Sunday with a few wins. How good were the Tigers and how good is it when they pump out the song after a win like that? I loved every minute of that, and was still singing the song the next day. I hope they get a run on and get some September action for the first time since the Cats belted them in about 1941. The tips are really heating up with Honkey Nuts a couple clear on top from a tight pack not too far behind. This week

I’ll go for the Saints to put the brakes on Richmond, the Cats to belt the Giants in Geelong, the Hawks to rebound against the Roos (an upset a real possibility there), the Crows to rebound against a slack Dockers outfit, the Bombers to blow the Demons into next year, the Blues over the Power, the Eagles over the Lions and the Swannies and Pies to round out the weekend. We had the AFL Cape York guys up this week and they did a great job as usual. We had about 20 kids each on Saturday and Sunday morning for a bit of Auskick action. Well received and well done to all that came along. We’ll try and run this every second weekend on Sunday morning at 10:30 so Dads, get the kids out of the house and earn she-credit points by bringing them down. We cook a barbie afterwards for lunch so a good mornings worth of entertainment is on offer. The next one is not this weekend, but the one after. See you next week. Scotty

Weipa squash players approach semi-finals

A Grade Team Tallie Amanda McKenzie versus Team Schooner Jay Dumbleton.

Team Martini B2 Randall O’Neill was defeated by a worthy sub for Team Mojito’s Ben Braun (namely Joe Buckley).

A1 Dave Edward Team Pot scoops the ball off the wall against opponent Aaron Schleich Team Yard Glass.

A1 Owen Witt Team Stubby controls the play in this game against Tom Murray Team Pint.

In B Grade, Blue Lagoon’s B1 Justin Hyytinen won in a hard fought match against Team Margarita’s Adam Blocksidge.

ONLY one week to go for teams to improve their chances of making it into the semi-finals of the Weipa Squash fixtures. In A grade Pot proved they are equal to Yard Glass when A1 Dave Edward showed his finesse, such as simply stepping back to take shots off the back wall. Even though his younger opponent Aaron Schleich won many rallies resulting in handouts, it was not his night and Dave took the match (3-0). A2 Scott McCahon did manage to win one game against his evenly-matched opponent Nick Brookes, who only led by four points in the end (1-3). What a game it would have been to watch when A3 Shane Spagnol defeated Wendy Long with two of the games forced to “long” games (3-1). A4 Shay Alley was coming good in the third game but Dallas Goodwin

game with lots of friendly banter in-between the long rallies. Even with Ben forcing the last two games to “long”, Jimmy powered through (2-3). Teams Schooner and Tallie played a diverse range of games when A4 Jay Dumbleton defeated Amanda McKenzie (3-0), however the score did not reflect the flow of the game, with lots of good rallies and backhand shots. Perhaps Jay’s “cheer squad” motivated him? A3 Sherie Hinschen was just warming up when Steve Lugsdin won the third game and sealed his win (0-3). A1 Luke Dorsett won a fiercely contested match despite Ross Hyytinen taking the first game and forcing the second one to “long” (3-1). B Grade was very quiet on Thursday night as a lot of players had pre-played their games, however the games I witnessed were of a high

an energetic young sub for Team Mojito’s, Ben Braun, Joe Buckley with Joe taking the honours in this tough match of five games, one of them “long” (2-3). B1 Cole Dalton defeated Adam Woodhouse in a closely contested match (3-1). B4 Omer Saeed lost the first game to Fiona Newsome, but powered through to take the next three (3-1). B5 Brooke Gwynne easily defeated Kristie, who played as sub for Ian Newsome (3-0), and B7 “Yours squashfully” was flogged (with not even enough points up to score a team point) by Adrian Costello (0-3). B8 Charissa Hill was in fine form when she played Lucy Boxall who was warming up as the games progressed, but not enough (3-0). Team Long Island Iced Tea was the victor overall out of the four matches which

took all three (0-3). What a pleasure it was to witness the game between A1 Owen Witt of Team Stubby and Tom Murray of Team Pint. The match went to five games, and even though a couple of Tom’s games were low-scoring, there were many handouts, and the match eventually went Owen’s way (3-2). It was always going to be a long match between A2 Jeff Berry and Rod Bielby. The first game went to “long”, and then the next one as well went in Jeff’s favour, however Rod, with his different serving techniques resulting in many long rallies, brought home the bacon (2-3). A3 Chrisden Russ battled it out against formidable opponent Laurie Raleigh and alternated wins, with Chrisden being the last winning game (3-2). A4 Ben Tantau went down to Jimmy Baira in a lively

calibre, especially Team Blue Lagoon’s B1 Justin Hyytinen who played an entertaining match against Team Margarita’s Adam Blocksidge. The match consisted of many fantastic rallies and jovial spirits as usual, despite both players exercising their vocal chords, but it was Justin’s night even though Adam pushed one game to the limit and won in 10 points (3-2). B3 Tom Manning carried on his winning streak defeating Donna O’Neill (3-0). B5 Bianca Borg, lost the first game to Elisa Moody, then did it tough, but stuck in there and won the next three (3-1). B7 Kristie McManus was unfortunate to come up against a formidable sub Esther (for her opponent Kylie Carr) and lost (0-3), and B8 Renee Williams won easily against Jess Hall (3-0). Another great game to watch was Team Martini’s B2 Randall O’Neill versus

were actually played against Pina Colada, with the exception of B1 Steve Moore who went down in three to Josh Donnelly (0-3). B2 Chris Bienvenu gave it his all (even forcing the last game to 10 points), but Michael Cridland proved stronger (2-3). B4 Nicole Dearling was her usual effervescent self, and only encountered some opposition in the second game from opponent Patrick Lightart when he forced it to “long” (3-0). B5 Tim Manning easily defeated Sam O’Neill in three games, however I am sure the scores do not reflect the energy of these players (3-0). Sickness/absences and work commitments caused many forfeits on the night. See you next week when we play the deciding games for placement in the semis. – Yours squashfully, Ruth Harris

The fun continues at Weipa Soccer Club AFL Cape York House project gets the go-ahead THE kicks and fun continue at the Weipa Soccer Club, with all players showing significant improvement in ball skills and footwork. There were low numbers this week, with many families out of town or unable to attend, which meant scratch matches were played in a few divisions, and the players loved the chance to play in different teams for a change. Thank you to parents helping out by leading Squirt games, writing-up games and volunteering in the canteen. Thanks also to the older players who are refereeing the younger games. Games start times: Squirts 2.30pm, Teens 2.30pm, Tykes 3.30pm, Titans 3.30pm, Senior Titans 4.30pm. All players and referees to arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the game start time.

THE green light to progress with the AFL Cape York House Alliance for Education & Training project in Cairns has been given. AFL Cape York has appointed Steven Gleeson as project manager and he has been busy pulling his team together and setting the scope of the program which should be operational by January, 2013. The focus of the project is to develop further educational and training options for young Indigenous boys from Cape York, Torres Strait and Gulf regions. Students will be selected to live at AFL House through an application process, and will be enrolled in secondary schools and colleges in the Cairns area. The planned life-skills program will involve learning to prepare food, hygiene re food preparation and serving, room responsibilities, small engine operations, facility maintenance such as manicuring of the site and up-keep to the AFL field attached to the facility, as well as being involved in designing gardens and beautification of the facility. All students will be encouraged to apply for Blue Cards, passports and drivers licences when eligible. Older students will be encouraged to take up part time work after school, and on weekends, as well as extra educational activities, to encourage personal wealth and selfesteem. The younger students will have a stronger focus on education after school with a line of tutors set up to work closely with students on their homework and educational weaknesses. Another component of the program is the setting up of a junior AFL club at the site. The program will teach students what is required to run a club and learn the roles and responsibilities necessary. This process will help the boys understand that a club is just not about the players, but also the

volunteers needed to run a club. The more senior students at AFLCY House will be expected to take on administration and coaching roles. Students will also be given the opportunity to run a weekend Auskick program at the AFLCY House field. Young children from neighbouring primary schools will be able to register and attend the 8-10 week training program. All senior students will undertake a Level One AFL Specific Coaching Certificate course. Over the past 12 months there have been many changes to the original one-storey under one roof design of the AFLCY House building. Following many discussions around the designs, functionality and ability to deliver the desired outcomes a two-storey design that will capture the breezes and encourage a community-type atmosphere has been decided upon. AFLCY are in the process of having soil tests conducted, as well as fine tuning the design and land management plans with Cairns Regional Council staff. The facility will offer two large dormitory buildings capable of sleeping 48 students, one junior and one senior with areas for night staff to stay on site. Separate to the dormitories will be the administration section, general manger’s quarters and the dining and kitchen areas. The AFLCY House Project has been widely supported by several arms of Government, FaHCSiA, Indigenous Housing, DEEWR, ICC, Education Qld, Aboriginal Hostels, Cairns Regional Council and the National AFL body, and AFL Cape York would like to sincerely acknowledge their gratitude to these organisations for their support and commitment so far. They would also like to highlight the wonderful support from Federal Minister for Indigenous affairs Mrs Jenny Macklin.

China to share his ďŹ shing tips the Gold Coast and make a start on a new life in Weipa.â€? A sportsfishing master with ANSA (Australian National SportsďŹ shing Association), who still holds some current records, China is ready to share his extensive ďŹ shing knowledge with local ďŹ shers. “I crewed and ran gameďŹ shing boats in Sydney for 10 years and love teaching fishing skills to others. Teaching kids how to ďŹ sh is my favourite past-time and I look forward to passing on my knowledge to the local children,â€? China said. China is also hoping to introduce new products, available from Weipa Bait & Tackle, in his weekly column so stay tuned for some exciting new ďŹ shing gear in the coming months. Don’t forget to email your fishing photos to China at weipabaitandtackle@bigpond.com, along with your name and the ďŹ sh species, so he can include them in his column.

Brett Young (aka China) is the new face of fishing at Weipa Bait & Tackle and will be a regular contributor to the Bully.

WEIPA Bait & Tackle’s new fishing guru, Brett Young (aka China) is stepping up to the plate to write a weekly fishing column for The Western Cape Bulletin. China says he has been â€œďŹ shing since he was in nappiesâ€? and after a guided ďŹ shing trip in Weipa four years vowed to return to the area to live one day. “Everything just fell into place,â€? China said. “The right time, the right job and it was time to leave

Send your ďŹ shing photos to: weipabaitandtackle@bigpond.com WELL, I certainly have some big shoes to fill, as Terri has done an excellent job keeping the keen anglers of Weipa informed about what is biting and where. I’ve only been in town for a short period and haven’t had the opportunity to wet a line myself yet, but a few reports have ďŹ ltered down to me at the shop. I think I must have brought the wind with me up from the Gold Coast because it has been a bit blowy since I arrived, so offshore reports are slow, but those who have braved the conditions are doing very well on the Tusk ďŹ sh with some monsters amongst them. The guys using seven-inch Gulps have been getting some very large Fingermark, but only

getting a couple and then moving to another bit of reef to start the process all over again. Sharks are a nuisance, taking some of the hooked fish, and again, the only choice is to look for a new spot. When the conditions are right Mackerel should be on the cards. The ats have been offering some good Barra. Basically wait for the bait showers then lob a lure or bait in the general direction and hope for a hook-up. Shallow water ďŹ sh usually put on a good show. If the creeks are more your speed then there have been Salmon on offer for the bait ďŹ sherman, with a few Barra thrown in for good measure. I had one customer come in during the week and was telling me that he caught some good
