Taroona Community Association news

Calendar

Hello Taroona folk. It’s been a wild, cold and wet spring sprinkled with the occasional warmish day tantalising us with a taste of summer.

November

Excitement is building in the community with the Taroona Art Trail to be held very soon on Saturday, 19 November. The event is sponsored by the Taroona Environment Network with a core committee of creative and inspired women who have dedicated many volunteer hours to organising this inaugural event. Not only will there be the coastal art trail to walk and enjoy but there will also be a vast range of activities on offer throughout the day into the evening. Check out the full program contained in Taroona News.

On the following Saturday, 26 November the AGM of the TCA will be held at the Taroona Bowls Club (also known as the Bowlo). I invite you to join us for the meeting followed by Barefoot Bowls and a BBQ. The committee is on the lookout for a couple of new committee members. Our committee meets once a month. If you’re interested in local issues – community, development and sustainability – please consider coming along.

TCA members at the Bowlo hard at work compiling the Taroona News In the October 2015 issue of Taroona News we tabled the idea of building a shed for Taroona and sought interest from the community in growing this idea. We however received little response and, with limited resources for such a sizable project, have decided at the current time to maintain the group focus on the Chiton St Ayles Rowing Skiff, supporting community events and the newsletter. The conversation around this idea will be continued in the future.

Hope you enjoy your ramble through the News.

See you at the Art Trail.

Taroona Coastal Rowing Update all levels of experience, novelty events and even an obstacle course. This is a delightful day of genuine old world fun.

•

The St Ayles Skiff International Regatta 18-19 February 2017 will be the second southern hemisphere regatta for the class and include crews from Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands not to mention our mates across the ditch in New Zealand and mainland crews. Australia is likely to be well represented with some 15 StAyles community rowing groups already established and growing. In breaking news, Cygnet are also expecting to launch their second skiff towards the new year.

A final thank you to the Tasmanian Community Fund who made our attendance at such events easier through their generous grant for our trailer, all-weather cover, and materials for competition oars that will make the competition weep in envy!

Happy rowing & sailing For any information on the above events please call Damian Devlin on 0400875528

Shall we wax lyrical over wild weather? In a notable break in Tasmania’s lashings of weather of recent times, last Saturday’s seas were finally friendly enough to get the summer rowing season off to an inspiring start. True to her Outer Hebrides heritage, the skiff coped well as wind and sea gathered excitement. Perhaps the strenuous yet absorbing and relaxing qualities of rowing come from the immersion & observation of wave, posture and timing and watching out for your crew. Not to mention the friendly banter, striking scenery and wildlife which also enhance the experience… so I’ll mention them anyway – it’s great to be back on the water!

Forthcoming events include: •

Steamboats on the Huon – On 20 November, The Wooden Boat Guild invites steam, sail and rowing craft for a leisurely cruise from Franklin to Huonville. Commencing 10.30am at Franklin & followed by a BBQ lunch (by booking).

•

The Swiftsure Regatta – On 27 November at Living Boat Trust, Franklin from 10.30. It includes the launch and naming of Tasmania’s fifth St Ayles Skiff, as well as events for

News from the Taroona Volunteer Fire Brigade The Taroona Volunteer Fire Brigade is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. This is a great testament to the community spirit in Taroona. We should all be very proud.

Much has been happening at Taroona Volunteer Fire Brigade of late. Tristan Roberts and Sam Scandrett were recently awarded with a Tasmania Fire Service Volunteer Medal for 10 years outstanding service. Both have been stalwarts of the brigade and have mentored many a new recruit.

Simon Cooper stood down as First Officer after five years in this role. The brigade has flourished under his leadership. Not only is membership at an all-time high, the brigade is highly regarded across the Tasmania Fire Service for its competence, commitment, and comradeship. Stephen Watchorn was elected as the new First Officer by brigade members. Other members elected to the brigade leadership team include Tristan Roberts, Paul Robinson, and Sam Scandrett.

It is with regret we farewell Arthur McHugh who has retired from the brigade after 11 years of service. When pagers go off signalling an incident in our area, more often than not Arthur was one of the first to arrive at the station. He will be missed.

Second Officer Tristan Roberts (left) and Fourth Officer Sam Scandrett (right) were each awarded the Tasmania Fire Service Volunteer Medal for outstanding service.

Check out the Tasmania Fire Service website www.fire.tas.gov.au for advice on bushfire preparedness.

Taroona Volunteer Fire Brigade was recently awarded a $5000 Commonwealth Government grant under the Strengthening Communities program. This much-needed boost to brigade finances will be used to replace old equipment and buy better personal safety gear.

Early indications are that we will have a normal bushfire season. A combination of high fuel loads and record-breaking temperatures means we cannot be complacent. Taroona residents are urged to prepare for the upcoming bushfire seasons by clearing gutters, reducing fuel loads on their properties, and updating their bushfire emergency plans.

In case you have missed it until now, scores of local residents have now spent hundreds of hours exploring their creativity, sharing their skills and enjoying themselves as they design and construct submissions for the Taroona ART Trail.

From Mary’s Grange will come a Giant Sea Dragon; from Y space, a geometric recycled book sculpture; and Sippers and Purlers have been busy knitting and crocheting their unique installation. Norwood residents have fashioned light catching garden décor.

Community art and sculpture workshops, led by local artists, have engaged children, oldies and everyone in between. Local artists will reveal their works on the day.

On 19 November these creative efforts will come together with over 20 separate submissions exhibited over the Taroona Foreshore.

Prizes Prizes include: •

The Taroona Art Prize of $1000

•

People’s Choice Award – Pennicott Wilderness Journeys Voucher

•

Awards and Prizes for children, youth and community submissions: $200 Artery Voucher, $100 Taroona Lounge Bar Voucher, passes for Lady Nelson Cruise, Book Shop Vouchers, Bolt and Run, Jimmy’s Skate and Street and more.

Be sure to vote for the People Choice Award on the day as you go on the self-guided art trail walk.

On Saturday 19 November we will celebrate Taroona’s natural and cultural biodiversity with performance artists, guest speakers, theatre and plenty of hands-on pop-up activities, and community workshops. Express your creativity with beach raking, rock balancing and add to the labyrinth. Learn more about the Taroona Coast by joining the Coastal Discovery Trail tour or the bird photography workshop. Plant a native, go for a row in the Taroona skiff, swim to Alum Cliffs and back with the TOSSAS, or join in the skate competition and Skate Park Art event.

Residents, friends and visitors are invited to come, connect and walk the Art Trail and share lunch with friends at PICNIC IN THE PARK, where refreshments and food will be available. Meet special guest Costa Georgiadis from Gardening Australia in the afternoon at the Mad Hatters Tea Party in the Community Neighbourhood Garden.

The evening will feature fire sculptures, fire dancers, a Playback Theatre performance, a night walk with bat expert Dr Lisa Cawthen, or sign up for a late night Astro photography workshop with Kelli Nalder.

We look forward to seeing you all on the day.

Alum Cliffs connection to Taroona opening soon The final connection of the Alum Cliffs Track, Kingborough’s iconic coastal walk between Kingston Beach and Taroona, is nearly ready to be opened.

The track was originally built in 1988 as part of the Bicentennial Celebrations and follows the superb cliffs along the Derwent River from the Shot Tower south to Kingston Beach via the historic Brickfields site. Soon the track will continue from the Shot Tower north through pristine bush to Wandella Avenue, at the southern end of Taroona. Walkers can catch a bus at Baringa Road, or continue to the beach via a connecting path down to Hinsby Beach.

Kingborough Council has continuously improved the track, including a re-routing of the track to avoid a steep and unstable cliff.

Councillor Flora Fox, President of the Kingborough Landcare Advisory Group, with two local residents at the Wandella Avenue, Taroona, eagerly awaiting the opening of the track.

In announcing the development, Flora Fox, President of the Kingborough Landcare Advisory Group, warned residents that, although the track is nearly complete, it is still being constructed and and is not yet open to the public. She looks forward to the opening by Council later this year and congratulated Taroona residents and members of the public for their patience in “persevering with this important and spectacular coastal walking link between Kingston and Taroona.”

Taroona Scout Group: Venturing to Cradle Mountain

Taroona Venturers shelter in the Baden Powell Memorial Lodge.

Once again the Taroona Scout Group Venturers had a great adventure to Cradle Mountain, staying at the Scout Association’s Baden Powell Memorial Lodge located on the track to Crater Peak. The Memorial Lodge was constructed by the Scout Association’s North West District following many trips by the 1st Devonport Senior Scouts to the area for bushwalking & skiing in the 1950s. Planning was initiated on 1 November 1955 and the Lodge was officially opened on 26th March 1960 by Lord Rowallan, then Governor and Chief Scout of Tasmania. The Lodge commemorates the 50th anniversary of Scouting (established in England in 1907) and is maintained for the training of mountaineering and snow-craft.

including fog, rain, sleet, snow, wind and thunderstorms, the more hardy managed to venture out to scale Crater Peak on the second day in solid rain (with tracks forming small creeks). On the third day the weather was not quite as threatening. Though initially setting out only for a short walk to Crater Lake, after a check on the Bureau of Meteorology weather radar, the group decided to scale the steep Marions Lookout and completed the loop back to the Lodge via Marigold Valley and Crater Peak. Our efforts were rewarded by spectacular views of Cradle Mountain and Barn Bluff.

Whilst the trip was met with all weather conditions possible,

Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies About IMAS The University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) has facilities in Taroona, Hobart and Launceston. The Taroona facility, located at the end of Nubeena Crescent, is the hub for the Fisheries and Aquaculture program, with aquarium facilities, a worldleading Experimental Aquaculture Facility (EAF), the Institute’s vessel fleet and diving facilities, all located on-site.

The Taroona facility houses 65 staff and 20 PhD students. At any given time around half of the PhD students are international students and around 20% of the staff and students live in Taroona. IMAS is actively involved with the local community and regularly hosts students from Taroona primary and high schools. During Science Week 2016, over 300 students from Taroona High and Primary visited the IMAS site. Students were shown through the EAF, the dive store and provided with scientific presentations and demonstrations to stimulate interest and inspire the next generation of scientists!

New pump station In order to continue the research work at Taroona a new seawater pump station is required. The facility currently draws seawater from a pump station located at the southern end of Crayfish Point. The existing pump station no longer provides a secure seawater supply. The University therefore intends to build a new seawater pump station on land purchased from Taswater at the end of Nubeena Crescent.

The University intends to submit a development application to Kingborough Council for this project in November.

The new pump station will be built largely underground. It is expected that construction will commence in June 2017 and be completed in December 2017. During construction it will be necessary to close the foreshore walking track to ensure public safety while the construction occurs. The University apologises for any inconvenience that this may cause and every effort will be made to minimise the period of closure.

More information on IMAS can be found on their website: http://www.imas.utas.edu.au

Bowls Club fun

Want to play croquet?

The Taroona Bowls Club was established in 1961, amidst a beautiful bushland setting in Taroona Park within walking distance of the beach.

Pay only $2 for a social membership to enjoy these facilities. The club is also available for booking as a function venue with catering available.

strategic thinking and social interaction? Taroona residents can find all this, playing croquet just down the road in Lower Sandy Bay at the Sandy Bay Croquet Club. We play two versions of the game: Association Croquet and Golf Croquet, with opportunities for both social and competitive play.

To arrange an introductory “come and try” session, you can email Taroona resident Tim Sprod (the club secretary) at sandybaycroquetclub@gmail.com.
