CAPE York was buzzing with excitement this week as communities and towns prepared for the arrival of the Australian GovernorGeneral, Quentin Bryce and her husband Mr Michael Bryce who are touring the area. First stop for the couple was Lockhart River, arriving in the community on Saturday, July 27, where they were welcomed by the chair of the Puuya Foundation, Dottie Hobson and chief executive officer Denise Hagan. Spending three days in the Lockhart River area, the couple met local residents, visited the Lockhart River State School, Health Care Clinic, and Art Centre. Accompanied by Elders they also visited the traditional lands of Kuuku Ya’u, Chili Beach and Portland Roads. As Patron of the Puuya Foundation the Governor-General and Mr Bryce attended an afternoon tea and learning circle with Foundation members and the Lockhart River Aboriginal Shire Council. The couple also received a traditional welcome at a community dinner before the Governor-General presented Puuya Foundation achievement awards at the Lockhart River Community Hall. continued page 2

Leaving Lockhart River on Monday, July 29 the GovernorGeneral and Mr Bryce headed to the Western Cape where they attended a community briefing at the Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council, hosted by Councillors Ernest Madua Jr and Margaret Adidi, and chief executive officer Amos Njaramba. Mr Njaramba said the Governor-General’s visit was a huge honour for the Napranum community. “Everyone is so excited and proud to receive this visit,” he said. “It was with great pleasure we told Her Excellency about our plans for the future of our community and she was genuinely interested and supportive.” A tour of the Napranum Pre School and Childcare Centre followed the meeting where the couple enjoyed a performance by the children. Following a community lunch the couple visited the Napranum Aged Care Facility and the Health Care Facility. The Governor-General’s busy schedule continued into the afternoon when she and Mr Bryce visited the Rio Tinto Alcan mine and met with participants

of the Indigenous Traineeship Program. A community reception at the Western Cape Cultural Centre in Weipa followed, attended by around 170 guests. The Weipa Girl Guides formed a guard of honour to welcome the official party and both the Governor-General and Mr Bryce took time to chat with guests on the lawn of the Centre.
Twelve lucky Weipa residents then took part in a Citizenship Ceremony presided by the Governor-General. “This is only the second time the Govenor-General has performed a Citizenship Ceremony away from Canberra,” Mr McCulkin said. “It’s a very big honour for those receiving their citizenship and for the town of Weipa.”
The Governor-General told the Western Cape Bulletin she had a special affinity with Cape York, and had fond memories of time spent in the region during her years as Governor of Queensland from 2003 to 2008. The couple left the Western Cape region on Tuesday afternoon, July 30 bound for the Torres Straits. more photos on pages 11-13

WHAT’S ON... At the ground breaking ceremony last Thursday were Brent Brosseuk (Remote Building Solutions), CEO Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council Amos Njaramba, Aurukun Shire Council deputy mayor Angus Kerindun, Kowanyama Aboriginal Shire Council councillor Michael Yam, Kowanyama Aboriginal Shire Council mayor Robert Holness, Aurukun Shire Council mayor Dereck Walpo, Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council mayor Philemon Mene, and Tony Skaines (Remote Building Solutions). By Giembra Busmer
REMOTE Building Solutions have entered into a long-term joint venture partnership with Napranum Aboriginal Shire Council (NASC) to construct a factory in Napranum. A multi-purpose training centre, home-building manufacturing facilities and a single-person accommodation centre (20 units) will be constructed on approximately 13,000 square metres of land provided by the Napranum community. A ground-breaking ceremony was conducted on the site last Thursday which was attended by representatives of
the NASC, Remote Building Solutions members of other Cape York Indigenous communities. The new partnership will see the creation of 60 jobs, including 30 local trainees and provide a Trades Indigenous Employment Program and further joint-venture opportunities. Trainees will not only come from the Napranum community but also the surrounding Cape York communities of Aurukun, Lockhart River, Kowanyama, Northern Peninsula Area, Mapoon and Pormpuraaw. NASC chief executive officer Amos Njaramba said the joint venture was an exciting
proposition for Cape York’s Indigenous communities. “Our community is moving forward – these are very exciting times for all of us and this project will be a huge asset, not only to Napranum but other Cape York Indigenous communities also,” he said at the ground-breaking ceremony. The Napranum facility will have an initial capacity to construct 50 to 75 homes with plans to expand that capability in the future. The homes constructed will be built for local conditions and will be cyclone rated, meeting national and Indigenous standards, and will be designed
jointly with the relevant communities. “Our aim is to develop a vibrant Cape York regional economy where our main objective is to see each community be self sustainable,” Mr Njaramba said. “The skills training we will be providing at the factory will provide real outcomes, – Certificate II and III in construction – which will enable Indigenous people in the seven communities to achieve sustainable long-term solutions.” Construction of the Napranum factory is expected to be completed within the next 3 months.
Weipa Integrated Health Service clear of Legionella FiNAl water retesting results for Legionella bacteria at the Weipa integrated Health Service (HiS) have come back negative. Cape York Hospital and Health Service chief executive Susan Turner said she was pleased the retesting had shown that measures taken to clear the Legionella at Weipa had succeeded. In the initial testing in early July, the Weipa HIS had returned three positive samples from two low-risk sites – a cleaner’s sink in the hospital morgue and a little used patient assisted shower area in the Day Surgery. Ms Turner said both areas were cleaned and flushed on July 9 and then retested on July 15, with the retesting results just received. “Now that they are clear, we have reopened those two areas for use,’’ she said. Ms Turner said the Cooktown MPHS and the Weipa IHS had been tested in response to a request from the Department of Health for all public hospitals to test for Legionella. “Weipa and Cooktown are our only

hospitals and the only ones with inpatients that have to be showered,’’ she said. Ms Turner said primary health centres and clinics were not tested as they were not included in the request from the Department of Health and were regarded as very low-risk as they did not have inpatients or inpatient showering facilities.
“Legionnaires disease is not spread from person to person,’’ she said. “The disease is spread by breathing in tiny droplets of airborne moisture that contain the Legionella bacteria, which is why the risk may be higher if it is present in showering facilities, where there may be a lot of airborne moisture, than in other areas.’’

Monitoring the weather to ensure safe shipping A NEW weather monitoring station, recently installed in Albatross Bay for North Queensland Bulk Ports (NQBP), will ensure safe shipping in the area. An ultrasonic anemometer, temperature and humidity probe, and barometric pressure meter were installed onto the southern channel beacon No. 2, located at the beginning of the channel. Carpentaria Contracting’s Strait Shooter, and members from Maritime Safety Queensland and NQBP assisted with the installation on-site last week. The weather monitoring unit runs 24 hours a day on solar power with battery back-up and provides vital weather information for port control and safety of shipping in and out of the channel. The equipment was provided by Brisbane based firm Pacific Data Systems and installed by James Palmer from Lambdatron-Brisbane.

Turtle Camp research begins
TURTLE Camp kicks off this week with Traditional Owners opening the camp today, Wednesday, July 31. With the support of the Threatened Species Unit – Deptartment of Environment & Heritage, rangers from around the Cape will be attending training at the camp over the next six week. Students from the Western Cape College will also be undertaking Conservation and Land Management studies from Western Cape College. A reminder to all that Turtle Camp is a supported research activity conducted by the Mapoon Land & Sea Rangers together with turtle researchers. It no longer operates as a tourism venture and is not open to the public. The purpose of the turtle research is to learn more about the status of the species using the beach as their nesting ground, and to increase the number of Flatback and Olive Ridley hatchlings successfully

entering the sea. Last year’s figures show that during the census month of August only 19.1 per cent of Flatback clutches were lost to predation, higher numbers for the Ridleys showing 33 per
cent clutch loss over the month. This year ’s efforts will concentrate on reducing clutch losses for the Olive Ridley. Be reminded that Flinders Beach is closed for public access.
Queenslanders voice their views about our future COMPULSORY community service, taking a more personalised approach to education and overhauling the economy to decrease Queensland’s reliance on mining are some of the initial views provided to The Queensland Plan. Queenslanders also want to strengthen community connections, improve our cultural and economic relationships with Asia and place greater emphasis on the role of agriculture and farming. Minister responsible for The Queensland Plan Andrew Powell said feedback has identified strong support for personalised education models that respond to changing global trends and a greater focus on the outdoors from encouraging more active lifestyles to expanding our green spaces. “While there is still one month left for Queensland to contribute to our state’s 30 year vision, early analysis indicates a common statewide desire for a stronger sense of community with clear differences on how to achieve it,” Mr Powell said. Driving community projects, volunteering, helping others, connecting with neighbours to become more active and getting outdoors, feature prominently in Queensland’s early vision for the future. More than 10,000 people from every corner of the state have so far responded to the six questions developed collaboratively by Queenslanders at the Mackay Summit.
“Some Queenslanders have opted to join in local community events to share and debate their views, while others have gone online to have their say,” Mr Powell said. “Whatever the method, conversations are underway across the state and we’re hearing great ideas, stories and strong opinions on what people want and don’t want.” It is now even easier for Queenslanders to contribute their thoughts about Queensland’s future with responses to questions added to The Queensland Plan website (www. qld.gov.au/queenslandplan). These provide an opportunity for people to comment on feedback from their fellow Queenslanders. Submissions to The Queensland Plan are open until August 30, 2013. A summit will be held in Brisbane on October 9 and 10 2013 where the results of all the engagement from throughout Queensland will be discussed and prioritised into a clear direction for The Queensland Plan. The plan will be released in late 2013. Key facts: • More males than females have contributed so far (52 per cent) • Baby Boomers (1946-1966) outweigh other age categories (42 per cent) • All of Queensland is represented with feedback received from every electorate • More than 100 events have already been held across the state, and more than 60 are planned before August 30.
Some comments provided on The Queensland Plan include: “There needs to be a clear understanding that learning and education is part of everything we do. Great success has been achieved when education/learning is taken out of the classroom and into the community.” “When our children finish 20 years of education they have always been treated as one of a crowd and they have learnt very little of the skills they require to be adults. To solve the problem, more education out of schools, mentorships, traineeships, apprenticeships, starting from younger ages where children learn one-on-one from older, wiser people.” “Legislate ‘good faith’ indemnity for non-commercial recreational activity to overcome fear of third-party liability.” “The mining boom will end and the manufacturing industry is in trouble. We need to focus on intellectual industries, exporting our intelligence. We need to invest in the exponential and future technologies – 3D printing, robotics, AI, biotechnology, synthetic biology, renewable technology and education.” “Support local small business who are major employers and also to continue with large government projects to keep us moving forward.”

Flight safety checks to be conducted during August SPECIAL flight safety checks are to be carried out at 20 regional Queensland aerodromes in August 2013. Queensland aerodromes being checked during August 2013 include Aurukun, Coen, Kowanyama, Lockhart River, Pormpuraaw and Weipa. The checks are being conducted for the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to make sure flight paths at the aerodromes continue to be safe. A series of low level flights
will be undertaken at each aerodrome to check flight paths. This will ensure navigation aids are operational and not suffering interference, as well as looking for any new obstacles that could be a danger to aviation safety. A twin-engine Cessna Conquest aircraft will be used to carry out the safety checks within an area up to 35 kilometres from the aerodromes. Low-level flying is an essential part of the safety exercise, with
the aircraft down as low as several hundred feet at times. Local residents may notice an uncommon flying pattern, but this is to make sure obstacles are accurately marked on charts and no new obstacles exist. Obstacles can be towers, trees, masts or buildings that can be a danger to aircraft. The Civil Aviation Safety Authority requires aerodrome flight path safety checks to be carried out every three years to maintain a high level of air
safety at all aerodromes. The Queensland checks will commence on August 5, 2013. If poor weather or other factors do not allow the safety checks to go ahead on the planned days they will be carried out as soon as possible. CASA has contracted the operation of the special check flights out to Radiola Aerospace Pty Ltd – a company with wide international expertise in these specialist operations.

Gap widens between Indigenous and non-Indigenous incomes
Toll Marine Logistics has the freight service to match your consignment needs. From a document or small parcel through to dangerous goods and bulk commodities, Toll has the experience, the infrastructure and the global networks to get your freight moving – across towns, across countries, across continents and delivered to your door in Weipa.
THERE is a gap in pay of $475 a week between Indigenous and non-Indigenous incomes across Cape York, according to a new analysis of census data. The data shows Indigenous incomes at $394 a week or 0.45 per cent of the non-Indigenous income of $869. There is a gap of $432 a week in the Torres Strait with an Indigenous income of $457 a week or .51 per cent of the non-Indigenous incomes of $889 a week. Using data from the 2006 and 2011 censuses, Dr Nicholas Biddle from the Australian National University has analysed income differences for Indigenous and nonIndigenous Australians, www.guardian.co.uk reports. And the gap has widened during that period. Adjusting for inflation, Indigenous Australians’ average disposable income was $400 per week in 2006. In 2011, this jumped to $488, a 22 per cent increase.

Dr Biddle says this disparity is due to three things: • An increase in the percentage of Indigenous Australians in the lowest-income bracket, • Increases in the percentage of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians in the highest-income bracket (1 per cent to 2.2 per cent and 3.9 per cent to 6.9 per cent, respectively), and • A massive increase in income for people in the highest bracket. The report also breaks down the results by region, with a large

Despite this rapid increase, the income for nonIndigenous Australians increased by 25.6 per cent over the same period. While Indigenous Australians are earning more, the difference in pay has actually widened. In 2006, the average disposable income for an Indigenous Australian was 72 per cent that of a non-Indigenous Australian. In 2011, it fell to 70 per cent.

had an income in 2011 that was, on average, 2.91 times higher than Indigenous males who hadn’t finished Year 12 and had no qualifications. Indeed, the results of the analysis of education prompted the author to note: “Reducing the barriers to education participation and completion will not completely eliminate the gap in socio-economic outcomes between Indigenous and nonIndigenous Australians (especially males). “However, it is likely that it will make a significant difference,” Dr Biddle said.

to his people and had these things made so that that could happen. As he said to Moses, “ I will meet you there, and from above the lid between the winged creatures I will give you all my laws for the people of Israel.” So before the first permanent Temple was built this Sacred Tent would be the centre of the Israelite’s religious life, then when the Israelites moved on the tent was packed up and set up at the next campsite, with all the tribes camped around in a circle of protection.
The Covent Box would be carried until the Tent was set up then placed inside a special section of the Tent. The first permanent Temple was a dream of King David, who really wanted to honour God with a beautifully made Temple. But because his hands had shed a lot of blood as the Army commander in war, God did not want him to build it, but gave instructions for King David’s son Solomon to build it. (See 1 Chronicles Ch 22 vs 2-8). God wants to be close to us too. Rev Michael Connolly

Weipa’s Border Collies get together with Adam Woodhouse
Weipa Fishing Classic to feature on “Creek To Coast” this weekend
The secret to wealth Have you ever caught yourself thinking “if only I earned more I would be able to buy that new car, take that dream holiday, or send my kids to a private school”. Well, allow me to let you in on a little secret. Becoming wealthy is not a matter of earning more money. The secret to wealth is managing the money you have, better. The first step on your way to building wealth is spending less than you earn. Yes, this sounds simple, but it’s hard in practice. So what makes it so difficult for us to live within our means? Well, behavioural scientists have shown that it’s human nature to seek instant gratification. This makes us much more likely to spend money on things that make us feel good now rather than doing something that’s better for us in the long term, like saving some of our money. To start saving for the things you want in life, such as your children’s education or starting that business you’ve always wanted to, you need a budget. Even if the majority of your money goes towards essential items such as mortgage
repayments, groceries and school fees, it’s usually possible to find savings by making small changes to your budget. You could try: • Reducing your spending on nonessential items • Consolidating small debts so you’re only paying one monthly fee. Once you have your budget under control, it will be much easier for you to keep some of your hard-earned money in your own pocket. Starting a regular savings plan is one of the simplest and easiest ways to save money. Your savings are kept in a separate account to your everyday spending account, so you won’t be able to spend this money as part of your weekly expenses.

The Newshound Sniffing out the stories about our four-legged friends...
a GROUP of my K9 buddies (and their owners) got together last weekend for their annual fun day and photo shoot. I was invited to attend (even though I’m not a Border Collie) but my Mum said it would be too hard for her to hold my lead and take photographs, so she left me at home. Nik from Muddy Mutts was also at the fun day giving my mates doggie washes, with half the proceeds going to the Cape Animal Protection Shelter.

Queensland kids are drinking at least one sugar-sweetened beverage daily, and that’s not limited to soft drink either – it includes energy drinks, fruit drinks, cordial and sports drinks too. The 2012 Queensland chief health officer’s report revealed 16 per cent of children aged 5-17 years consumed nondiet soft drink and non-diet flavoured drinks daily. The prevalence of daily non-diet soft drink consumption also, unfortunately, increased with age. We’ve all seen the cubes of sugar stacked up to represent just how much sugar can be packed into these sweetened beverages (pictured at above left). For the average can of
soft drink – it can be up to 10 teaspoons. Consuming sugarsweetened beverages leads to increased energy intake and in turn, weight gain or obesity. Being overweight increases the risk of a range of chronic diseases including some cancers, type 2 diabetes and heart disease. What’s concerning is that targeted marketing has misled Queenslanders to believe that sugar-sweetened beverages are an acceptable addition to a daily diet. They aren’t. In fact, consuming just one can of soft drink every day, on top of your usual diet, could lead to an almost 7kg extra weight gain in just one year.
With more than a quarter of our state’s children aged 5 to 17 weighing in as overweight or obese, we need to cut back the sugar to help their longterm health. Cancer Council Queensland recommends Queensland adults and children limit their consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, and instead drink water or unflavoured low-fat milk. It might seem like a small change to make, but it will have lasting impacts on the health of your family for the long-term.

AFL wrap-up with Dallas AND then there was nine……Port and Carlton stood up with wins when it counted to stay in the race for a finals berth! Another three teams in all likelihood bit the dust this weekend. The Crows, Lions and Eagles all needed wins to keep their finals aspirations alive but all crumbled under the pressure. Mathematically they are still chances but will be very unlikely to make the cut if either Carlton or Port win any of their final five games. I checked the run home for the four teams which are now on 28 points and three wins out of the top eight. North have the hardest run home, playing the top sides and West Coast don’t have it much easier. Adelaide and Brisbane have the easiest draw for the final five rounds but I can’t see them winning any more than three of these, so it looks like Port and Carlton should fight it out for the last spot. It could even come down to the final round where Port play Carlton. Of course in two weeks we should also know the fate of Essendon after their drugs scandal. The media hype has all sorts of predictions there. Some say no penalty will be given whereas others think a “Melbourne Storm” salary cap-like premiership points penalty will knock them out of the finals. If this is the case then North, West Coast, Adelaide and Brisbane are all still in it! It will be an interesting few weeks! My predictions last week that Geelong would have to work to beat St Kilda while North may struggle against the Demons were proven to be awesome forecasts. Geelong only won by 101 points and the Kangaroos by 122 so they were close, hard fought games for at least five minutes. Collingwood however were all locked up with GWS halfway through the third quarter and only ran away with it in the last. This was probably the best performance of GWS this year and their young star Jeremy Cameron kicked seven goals. Hawthorn showed that they are still the favourites for the flag with a powerful win over Essendon. Buddy kicked a lazy eight goals in this trouncing. Richmond demonstrated they they still have work to do to be competitive with the top four after a demoralising loss to the Swans. According to town gossip, the local Richmond fans should know better than to get too cocky and stir up the local Swanette and Newspaper Editor pre-game when their team can’t deliver against the top sides. Round 19 has some great contests and important games for those on the fringe of the top eight. After taking out their frustrating year on the hapless Demons, the Kangaroos will get a crack at Geelong and a chance to show us if they really did have the goods this year despite their position on the ladder. GWS and Melbourne both go into a game with a chance of winning for a change, facing off in the battle of the spoon. Richmond get another shot at showing us if they are premiership material, this time taking on the best, the Hawks. The Gold Coast travel to Perth to play the disappointing Eagles and could be a chance of an upset. Carlton and Fremantle will be a tough close match and Port need to win over Adelaide in the Derby. The Lions and St Kilda do battle while the Bulldogs hope to take in good form from last week into their match against the Swans. Finally Collingwood and Essendon should draw a big crowd. My tips- Geelong, GWS, Hawthorn, Gold Coast, Carlton, Brisbane, Sydney, Port Adelaide, and Essendon. That’s the wrap! Dallas

TOP 10 TIPPERS
PLAYERS and coaching staff in under-performing teams find themselves on the chopping block as we near the business end of the season. Round 20 kicked off with an all Queensland derby between the Cowboys and the Broncos, with the Broncos winning a very entertaining match. Also on Friday night the Bulldogs showcased a dominant performance with a win over the Eels. On Saturday the Raiders kept their finals hopes alive with a narrow win over the Dragons, and the Rabbitohs continued their fabulous form with an easy win over the Titans. Then on Sunday the Warriors beat title contenders the Storm, the Sharks beat the Panthers and the Roosters were too good for the Knights. Monday night’s game took the Round to a close, with the Sea Eagles beating the Tigers. Looking into Round 21, Friday will see the Knight’s verse the Broncos and the Panthers take on the Roosters. Then on Super Saturday we will have three games, with the battle of the forwards between the Sharks and the Warriors. Then the Eels take on the Sea Eagles, and the Cowboys look for a win against the Rabbitohs. Sunday has two games, with the Raiders taking on the Storm and the Titans coming up against the Tigers. Monday night will see the Dragons and the Bulldogs battle it out. Karl’s Tips: Knights, Roosters, Sharks, Sea Eagles, Rabbitohs, Raiders, Titans and Bulldogs. Yours in footy, Karl

Local coach pays tribute to Muzz
Legendary coach Graham “Muzz” Murray passed away in Brisbane this week. He will be sadly missed by the NRL and QRL communities.
WEIPA-based NRL Game Development Officer Karl Adams had paid tribute to former North Queensland Cowboys coach Graham Murray who died on July 28 aged 58. Mr Murray achieved outstanding success as both a player at the top level and coach and died in Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital after suffering several heart attacks. Known as Muzz, Mr Murray coached the Cowboys to the 2005 NRL grand final which they lost to the Wests Tigers. He also coached the NSW State of Origin side in 2006 and 07. In 1999 Mr Murray coached Leeds in England to
a Challenge Cup win over the London Broncos. Mr Adams told the Bully on July 29 that Mr Murray had visited Cape York four years ago and was highly popular. “Graham was a great man and his input towards grass roots rugby league was high and will be missed. He did a coaching and mentoring clinic in Weipa and was very open,” Mr Adams said. Mr Murray also visited Napranum, Bamaga, and Thursday Island and Badu Island. He was a special guest at a Napranum fishing contest. Both the Cowboys and QRL paid tribute to Mr Murray.

in safety with some big Tuskers, Nannygai and Fingermark along with an enormous Cod. Out on the Three Mile there are big schools of Mackerel but they are down deep so try dropping down either a bumper bar lure or a spanyaid lure in the 80g size. The actual weight will depend on the current and if you’re unsure of what colour to use drop in and speak to Shane or Terri at Tackle World I’m sure they will put you on the right track. I had a quick fish on Sunday however the wind made casting difficult as the drift was going at 100 miles an hour so I opted to troll, which is an art form in
itself. I ended up with Jacks, Grunter, Cod and a heap of Barracuda. The Tackle World boat was out on Sunday with new skipper Darren Redman and they had similar captures to me. He had some very happy clients when I saw them back at the ramp. Kylie Lund reported good fishing over at Red Beach with Barra to 76cm. Lindsay Brown, Joel Deegan and Damien Rangi had a good trip up the Wenlock with some nice school Jews and a swag of Muddies. This has been the best haul of crabs I’ve seen in a while so hopefully signs of better things to come.
‘Til next week (please) smooth seas, calm breezes and tight lines.

THE winter doldrums have set in for me but I still have to get on the water to test my casting accuracy so that when the fish show a bit more enthusiasm and open their mouths and start to go on the chew I can be ready and not miss any opportunities that come my way. On an interesting note the Barra Josh Garnett caught last week was a tagged fish and here are the relevant details: The tag looks like a piece of spaghetti, about 10cm long, and on it will be a number with contact details for where to send the capture information. Sometimes the tag will be covered in slime so can be easily missed but they are usually found in the shoulders, so keep your eyes open for them. Josh’s fish was tagged by N. Brooks on May 17, 2013 in Myall creek and measured in at 52cm. It was recaptured by Josh on July 24, 2013 which was 1164 days since it was tagged. The Barra had grown 18cm to be measured out at 70cm and had travelled 30km down river to the Mission River bridge. If you capture a tagged fish you do not have to kill it – it can be released to gather more data, but the choice is yours to make. Now for a few reports, the team from Screamin’ Seaman have been getting some nice reef fish on the days when it was possible to get down the coast

the Napranum Sistas in a very entertaining grand final. The Weipa side struggled to get a team but proved too strong for the Napranum Sistas who had an impressively full team. Bianca Gay and Elsja Mosby were the best on ground in the grand final. It is a credit to a few ladies in Weipa and Napranum that the female participation in the game has increased immensely within the last couple of years
and Florie is definitely one of those people. The men’s grand final was between the Weipa Raiders and the Napranum Natives, with the Weipa Raiders being victorious in the end as the game was called off. Weipa Raiders coach Karl Adams was overwhelmed with the result and said Luke Murray, Tim Oberleuter, Ryan Kemp, Jimmy Baira and Trey Kemp were his best players on the night.
Natives best players on the night were Cameron Jawai, Kareem Tabuai, Les Hall and Shaq Nixon. At half-time in both grand finals the CCSJRL sides hit the paddock with the under-7s, 9s and 11s sides all showcasing their skills in front of the big crowd. CCSJRL president Garreth Smith said “The kids really enjoyed themselves and played very well.” – Karl Adams NRL Game Development Officer
