Mr Agus was humbled by his appointment, saying the challenge was now for the TPA to work together as a team with all stakeholders, including industry partners, to take tourism development to the next level.

“These will involve going back to basics to strengthen our internal structures and systems within the TPA’s overall objectives of marketing and promoting PNG as a desired tourism destination,” he said.

Mr Agus is currently the longestserving board member of the National Airports Corporation,

It is obvious that there has been extra thought invested into the design of the hotel, which is very noticeable immediately upon entering the room. A Nespresso Cocktail Martini is an easy treat for guests to make upon arrival and convenient mirrors are placed throughout the well-lit room for the ladies.

The curtains are operated by switch and can be positioned to suit each guests requirements.

Perhaps the most impressive element is the ensuite, which features an exceptional large shower recess with two rose heads to cater to personal choice. They also weren’t situated in a bath tub, yet there

The extra’s available to guests as an extension of the hotel’s activities are also worth a mention, including a one-hour workout with personal trainer Jordan Schout, or a scenic bike ride around Brisbane later in the day, in the company of the

The chef’s work area is very visible and the paleo food is exceptional and beautifully presented with mouth-watering taste. According to Pete it’s also great for your health!

Kraton Yogyakarta. This is a palace complex located within the city of Yogyakarta and is a special region in Indonesia. The palace is the main seat Sultan of Yogyakarta and his family and it serves as a cultural center for Javanese people, containing beautiful displays of the sultanate’s artifacts within the museum. Following lunch with a visit to Imogiri, a cemetery which holds Mataram kings and family’s remains.

Next up was a stop at Kasongan Village, which is well known for ceramics and pottery and is the largest industrial producers of these products in Yogyakarta. Here, dozens of workshops produce pots and some extraordinary statues and ornaments, including giant dragons and peacocks. Kasongan pottery is generally sold painted or unpainted and very little glazing work is done.

An earlier start is needed the next day, as we venture to the amazing Borobudur Temple. This temple is highly recognisable and an absolute must-see. The early wake-up call was worth it, as the view at the top

in the morning is breathtaking.

After lunch was a trip to the Sangiran Archaeological Museum, then a stop by the ancient batik gallery Dana Hadi. Batik is another specialized skill of the Balinese and this is without a doubt, the best place to witness it. Along with thebatik you will also see the many markets and workshops in the area.

The Aston Hotel was a relaxing hotel to end the day at and was very modern accommodation.

The property is situated in Solo’s Central Business District and offers beautifully appointed accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool and free WiFi access in all areas of the property.

For day four, a trip to Cetho Temple was in order. The journey to the temple takes you high up in the mountains along a very steep road, but the extraordinary view over the valley and tea plantations is worth it. This is a 15th century JavaneseHindu temple that is located on the western slope of Mount Lawu, sitting at 1495m above sea level on the border between Central and East Java provinces. When this temple was built, Javanese religion and art had diverged from Indian precepts that had been so influential on temples styles during the 8-10th century. This area was the last significant area of temple building in Java before the island’s courts were converted to Islam in the 16th century. The distinctiveness of the structure and lack of records of Javanese ceremonies and beliefs of the era make it difficult for historians to interpret the significance of these antiquities.

Following lunch we stopped at the Sukuh Temple in Berjo Village.

While still sitting high at 910m above sea level, the temple stretches east to west and is decorated with wayang stone carvings of Hindu origin - a stunning sight that you must see for yourself.

DAY FIVE Following breakfast, we ventured on to Batik Village Laweyan, a village that is 24.83 hectares in size with 2,500 people living within it.

Laweyan is the oldest Kampoeng Batik in Indonesia and is one of

beaches with clean, white sand, and much of the island has fringing reefs to explore.

Lewayan Batik Village

the central Batik in Solo. This was a beautiful place to stop for lunch before stopping by Sam Poo Kong, also known as Gedung Batu Temple - this the oldest Chinese temple in Semarang in Central Java.

You could spend hours walking the streets, admiring the many pavilions and this is another great example of multicultural Indonesia.

Everywhere you look you will see Hindu, Buddhist and Muslim people working and following their individual beliefs comfortably and side-by-side.

A trip to Lawang Sewu was up next. This colonial era building is famous as a haunted house and was originally built as the headquarters of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company, although the Semarang City Government has attempted to rebrand it. The building is very well distinguished by its 600 large glass windows.

The Novotel Semarang was the accommodation for this night. Set in the central business district, this

upscale hotel is a short 14-minute walk from Lawang Sewu and 5km from the Great Mosque of Central Java. A casual restaurant serves a breakfast buffet and there is also a modern restaurant/bar. Other amenities include a nightclub, spa, outdoor swimming pool, hot tub and sauna. A fitness center, a children’s play area and meeting rooms are also within the property.

DAY SIX Following breakfast we were on our way to Semarang Harbour to head over to Kura-Kura Island to get to Karimun Jawa. The journey saw us into lunch, so afterwards it was time to head to the island.

This is the larger of the chain of islands and is hilly and sometimes steep. The highest peak sits at about 330m, with a dozen smaller peaks nearby. Karimunjawa is also the most populated of the islands and holds the only village situated on a point on the south-west coast of the island. There are many beautiful

Kura-Kura Resort was a lovely venue to welcome the end of this journey and it really is a stop between heaven and earth. Located in the midst of Karimunjawa Archipelago and offering one of the largest lagoons of the area, the 22 hectares of large, extraordinary beauty was exclusively occupied by guests of the resort. The fact that the resort and island are still virtually unknown to mass tourism is almost a blessing, as the feeling of a natural and remote beauty was all ours to endure. Kura Kura Resort has re-opened its doors on June 2008 with a new ownership team and new management after long renovation works that have upgraded the property by enhancing the natural beauty of the island, with a passion for authenticity and attention to the smallest details.

Kura Kura Resort offers now 20 spacious and luxurious Pool Villas, including 2 family Pool Villas settled among the beautiful Royal palm trees, and 15 Cottages.

While this trip was rich in culture and experience, there is definitely much more to see throughout Indonesia.

This majestic country really has something to offer everyone, through its vast cultures, ethnicities, religions and languages. It is invaluable to see that despite Indonesia’s diversity, tolerance and respect for one another is always upheld.

Thank you, Indonesia, for a wonderful experience! n

.: .: : S IE WALLAB JOE POWELL It doesn’t get much tougher than Rugby Union – especially when it comes to the Aussie Wallabies squad!

This month, we sat down for a chat with Wallabies recruit Joe Powell to find out more about how he got his shot at the big time in footy…

TELL US ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY IN FOOTBALL HOW DID THE DREAM START FOR YOU? I started playing Rugby in the Under 10s at the Marist College in Canberra and then I played for ACT from Under 12s to Under 18s.

When I finished school I went to the Canberra Vikings club, then played for Australia in the Under 20s side. I got to go with the Brumbies last and this year, and then I got a call to head into the Wallabies squad a few weeks ago.

anything like that. My least favourite thing would have to be the amount of running involved - the amount of kilometres per game isn’t really that enjoyable!

THAT’S A PRETTY COOL JOURNEY! IS FOOTBALL A BIG DEAL IN YOUR FAMILY? My dad and my younger and older brothers all played footy, so yeah.

Dad really got me into playing Rugby. I remember from a young age we would always go and watch the Brumbies play as a family, so I’ve always been a member at the club. Footy is a big part of the family.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE GETTING THE NEWS ABOUT BEING SELECTED TO PLAY FOR THE WALLABIES? I thought it was a joke (laughs)! I actually got an email saying I was selected in the squad but I hadn’t heard from anyone that it was even a potential opportunity. Plus, I had only played a couple of games, so it wasn’t on the cards! It was a huge surprise though and I was pretty happy. The selection was made randomly from a wider squad after the Super Rugby and I guess there weren’t that many halfbacks playing that well, so they went out on a whim and gave me a go out of nowhere (laughs)!

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE AND LEAST FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT PLAYING YOUR POSITION AS HALFBACK? My favourite thing is that I don’t have to do much tackling and I get to stay out of everything, so there’s also not many injuries or

14

Issue 13

www.transtasmanmediagroup.com

HOW DO YOU STAY FOCUSED WHEN IT COMES TO TRAINING AND THE IDEA OF GETTING OUT ON THE FIELD? I’ve spent a week and a half in training camps in Queensland and a few half weeks in Sydney, but the preparation isn’t that different to training with the Brumbies. Getting to know everyone was probably the hardest part. It’s really exciting, though, because as a kid you dream to play for the Wallabies so when it became a realistic opportunity it was really cool.

RUGBY QUIZ 1. When did Rugby Union start in Australia?

2. In which State or Territor y was the first game of Rugby played in Australia?

3. What is the name of the Australian Rugby team?

4. Which countries compete in the Rugby Championship?

5. In which year was Australia given third position in the world rankings?

6. How many tournaments of the Rugby World Cup has Australia won?

7.

HOW DO YOU FEEL THE TEAM IS GOING THIS SEASON, FROM AN INSIDER’S PERSPECTIVE? Behind the walls it’s like any other footy team, except with high profile players, which can make it a little more serious. There’s always times where we have a bit of fun, though. They’re just a really good bunch of blokes and it’s a good experience.

9. Name an Australian Rugby player who is named in the Hall of Fame of international Rugby?

10. How many world cup tournaments has there been?

ANSWERS

The Wallabies just completed a 3-test series against England and that was the squad I was in there for. I’m also hoping to be playing at the end of the year for Rugby Championship and other games.

8. In which year and against what team did Australia win their second Rugby World Cup?

1. 1850’s 2. New South Wales 3. Wallabies 4. New Zealand, Australia, 1999 South Africa and Argentina 5. 2008 6. 2 7. England, 1991 8. France, Catchpole, 9. David Campese, John Eales, Nick Farr-Jones, Michael Lynagh, Ken Mark Ella and Tim Horan 10. 6

WHAT HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED SO FAR WITH THE WALLABIES SQUAD?

In which year and against what team did Australia win their first Rugby World Cup?

WHAT’S YOUR TRAINING REGIME LIKE? On the average day we have a morning unit session, so the backs and forwards split up. After that is a gym session, then a bit of a break in the middle, then a team session in the afternoon. We’d usually follow that with a day off.

Yeah, I started my apprenticeship as a carpenter but it’s not something I will be able to continue while doing footy - it’s just not possible. What I am doing, though, is going to university and I want to study something relating to construction. I’m planning to study by correspondence with the University of Southern Queensland.

Keep working hard and if you’ve got a dream, go for it!

ast issue we caught up with our friends at Athletics PNG and we have been waiting for the announcement of who will be representing the country at the games in anticipation and excitingly, Theo Piniau and Toea Wisil will be the Athletics representatives for PNG at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro this coming August!

Piniau secured his spot as a result of his PNG record breaking performance in the 200m on 11 June, after a long and very close battle with Mowen Boino. Back in September 2015 Athletics

PNG made it known to its male athletes that the one who had the best performance in 2016 would be selected, with 18 June being the deadline for registering performances. Best performance is determined

by using internationally recognised scoring tables, which are a means of comparing performances in different track and field events.

medallist in four successive Pacific Games, Boino had led in the rankings all season until Piniau leapfrogged him when he broke Nelsons Stone’s 200m record. Though Boino responded with a season’s best 51.95 seconds in the 400m hurdles on 18 June in his last competition in Florida (which was worth 1034 points on the IAAF scoring tables), this wasn’t enough to overhaul the 1072 point performance from Piniau on 11 June.

A 36-year old-veteran of three Olympic Games and gold

Athletics PNG has congratulated Piniau and acknowledged the

huge contribution Boino has made.

College in Iowa he secured a full scholarship to run for West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas where he now resides.

President Tony Green said Mowen was the first to congratulate Theo and has been a big help to him during their time together. Coach Dior Lowry, who has been with the athletes in Florida, said that the friendship between the two goes far beyond athletics and it is only on the track where there is evidence of competition.

Toea Wisil is also confirmed in the team, now that the PNGOC qualifying period has come to an end and no other female athletes have come close to qualifying. That means the one place available to PNG under the universality rule will be taken by Olympic scholarship holder Wisil.

Scholarship rules dictate that in the event no female athlete runs a qualifying time then PNG must select the scholarship holder.

However Wisil is still hoping to run the qualifying time of 11.32secs in the 100m before the Games in August. She came very close to this in Lae on 11 June when she broke Mae Koime’s National record with a clocking of 11.36 seconds

“Mowen has been a model for the younger athletes, displaying hard work, class and consistency as evidence by his performances over many years,” he said.

Commenting on his achievement, Piniau said he was very happy and proud about the decision of being selected.

“I do not really have much to say but all I can say is that it is a great privilege for me and I really look forward for final preparations before competing at that level of competition against whoever it may be.”

“I'd like to thank Athletics PNG for help building me up from

Piniau went to the United States in 2013, with support from Athletics PNG, under the Go for Gold Programme. Following a successful two years at Junior

Philip Rehder will be the Athletics Team Manager to Rio and the coach will be Alison Fairweather.

We wish the best of luck to these outstanding athletes in Rio! n

NRL EXPANDS PROGRAM

IN PNG GE and the National Rugby League have announced a partnership to expand the league’s wellbeing program across Papua New Guinea schools.

T

he NRL Wellbeing program aims to help students make the connections between physical activity, nutrition and mental wellness.

Nearly 20,000 primary school students from Port Moresby, East New Britain and the Eastern Highlands province will benefit from the program and increased education.

"PNG is a nation of Rugby League lovers and this program is a fantastic way to harness the power of sport to inspire children to take charge of their wellbeing," said GE PNG country leader Peter Loko.

"Through our experience in healthcare partnerships in PNG, we understand the immense healthcare challenges the country faces and the importance of supporting programs such as this, which address those challenges at a grassroots level."

GE has been in PNG since 1952, supplying the generators and turbines for the Port Moresby Hydro Electricity Scheme. It deepened its commitment to PNG when it opened its Port Moresby office in July 2014.

The company is investing to build local capability and through technology, aims to support PNG in key areas of development including wider access to energy, water treatment and healthcare.

NRL wellbeing facilitators have commenced the program delivery, with the bilingual curriculum tailored to PNG students and highlighting various NRL players, some of whom have PNG heritage, using culturally relevant examples to engage students.

boarders Cathedral are excited for State of Origin Y

ear 12 boarding students, Sam Lyttle (Cannington Station, McKinlay) and Joshua Newman (Bamaga) are particularly excited for this year’s State of Origin series as they prepare to watch past Cathedral student, Justin O’Neill from the Class of 2008, on the field.

O’Neill hails from Hughenden and attended The Cathedral School from Year 8 to Year 12 alongside his older brother, Paul and younger brother, Samsen.

Remembered as a well-liked student who excelled in every sport he played, O’Neill is still considered part of the Cathedral family.

Sam Lyttle said that it’s inspiring to have someone like Justin to look up to.

“Coming from Hughenden, he’s a country boy just like me. He’s been through boarding school and now he’s winning grand finals and playing for Queensland in the State of Origin,” Sam said.

As always, the State of Origin series is very popular amongst the boarders as they get to finish their homework a little earlier than normal and settle in front of a big screen TV for the big match.

Sam Lyttle (Cannington Station, McKinlay) and Joshua Newman (Bamaga) are excited to watch this year’s State of Origin featuring past Cathedral student, Justin O’Neill.

The School’s kitchen staff also get very excited for the big occasion, preparing a special dinner for the boarders and in previous years have made an intricate State of Origin cake for dessert. The students are all very excited to see what they do this year. n

IT’S STUPID TO BE UNSAFE Kahi Puru was 29 when his body was crushed in a forklift accident on site, So how does a bloke overcome something so horrific?

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR JOB BEFORE THE ACCIDENT? I was driver and operator of an industrial vacuum truck that collected and transported toxic waste. I’d been on the job for eight months and our shifts started at midnight and went for over thirteen hours.

WHAT WAS SAFETY LIKE ON SITE IN THE 90’S? I have a military background so I had extensive safety education, but back then things weren’t monitored to today’s standards. In most cases there was a lot of initial safety training when first starting a job, but once you were out in the workforce things got very relaxed.

TELL US ABOUT THE ACCIDENT… I was putting away the vacuum hoses at the end of a shift and as I shutdown the machinery and stepped off of the back of the truck a forklift operator was driving in my direction who I didn’t see, and obviously

22

Issue 13

he didn’t see me either. I was caught by the forklift and dragged under it for several meters. I can’t recall the specifics because I was knocked unconscious.

was a lot to live for. Things would be different, but I knew I would adjust and overcome it. I didn’t have a choice, life has to continue on and so did I!

WHAT IMMEDIATE EFFECT DID IT HAVE ON YOUR LIFE?

LONG-TERM, HOW DID IT AFFECT YOU?

I woke up in hospital in the intensive care unit with several injuries to my body, including a fractured skull and my left leg had been removed at my hip. At first I went through what most amputees go through - I was afraid and unsure if I wanted to live.

Once I saw my family though, I knew there

At the end of the day this whole experience made me a better person. I began to understand that things happen in life but it really does depend on how you choose to react to them and this has motivated me. First, I began working on myself and I became an athlete competing in powerlifting,

www.transtasmanmediagroup.com

Kahi powerlifting like a champ!

THERE’S NOTHING FUNNY ABOUT AN ACCIDENT LIKE THIS, BUT HAS ANYTHING EVER HAPPENED TO YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR LOSS THAT WAS TOTALLY HILARIOUS?

where I represented Australia in the 2000 Paralympic Games. I also competed in handcycling events and completed the New York Marathon. I also live to educate others. I am an ambassador for SafeWork NSW and am a motivational speaker.

I laugh about this all the time! It’s interesting when you have an obvious disability to see how people react. Most people will stare and others will try to ignore you. My favorite, though, are the kids! They’ll run right up to me in the middle of a mall and shout “hey, what happened to you?” and this cracks me up! At first it makes all the adults uncomfortable but I look at it as an opportunity to raise awareness. I respond by telling them a story about not looking both ways before crossing the road or not listening to my parents. I try to bring the idea of safety to terms they can understand. This is great because it usually opens up a dialog with the parents as well.

IF YOU COULD SAY ONE THING TO OUR TRADIES ON SITE, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Be vigilant and protective! Record your near misses to create awareness and be the most aware during your first and last 10 minutes of the day - safety doesn’t stop until you leave the shop! n

SAFETY warehouse safety tips

I

t doesn’t take a lot of common sense to identify the obvious hazards on a typical warehouse floor, but there are plenty of hidden hazards that might not be so obvious. These hazards could injure a forklift driver if they aren’t identified and avoided, so it’s a good idea to perform a warehouse hazards assessment and implement a warehouse safety checklist and hazards list, which can be easily viewed and checked off by those using forklifts.

This warehouse hazards list should be easy to read, provide clear instructions and should contain relevant warehouse safety topics that explain how to stay safe in general, rather than just explaining the hazards. If possible, this list should be implemented at the same time as holding a staff meeting that drives home the importance of safety. A warehouse safety presentation is often a great and

24

Issue 13

simple way of conveying this message.

You should begin your warehouse hazards and safety checklist by first determining which factors contribute to forklift accidents.

Both procedural and physical hazards should be identified by category, then a safety list made to ensure these hazards are mitigated.

Here is an example to get you started:

Warehouse Hazards Checklist and Assessment Tool

• Quality of forklifts: Do they conform to all national standards and are they registered?

• Age of forklifts: Are there any age factors that may cause issues, such as rust or excess shaking due to wear and tear?

• Maintenance of forklifts: Are they serviced regularly?

•

Correct attachments and tools and their quality: Are all attachments designed for the forklifts you’re operating and do they all work properly?

Organisational-based hazards

• Training practices for drivers: Are all drivers trained correctly and to national standards?

These include factors on the level of the company that may cause hazards. These hazards, such as:

• Assignment of the right forklift to the right driver: Are inexperienced drivers driving larger or more complicated forklifts?

www.transtasmanmediagroup.com

• Production issues: Are workers being rushed to finish their work at the end of the day and are conditions stressful or uncomfortable?

Behavioural and Operational Hazards Behavioural and operational hazards can be caused by the driver of the forklift. They include: • Regular maintenance and checks: Do drivers give the forklift a once-over before each use?

•

Parking and transport: Is the forklift parked correctly and are the wheels chocked and the forklift tied properly during transport?

•

Communication when driving: Does the driver alert others of his intentions and ensure people in shared spaces are aware of their presence?

•

Responsible use of forklift: Does the driver ensure the load is lowered during movement, do they perform correct turning, braking and reversing techniques, and do they act irresponsibly, performing stunts or driving erratically?

“Quality of forklifts: Do they conform to all national standards and are they registered?”

• Speed: Does the driver travel at an appropriate speed at all times?

• Safety equipment: Does the driver use safety equipment correctly, such as hardhat and high-vis clothing?

Physical Workplace Hazards These are the physical hazards that may be present within the workplace and may include: • General barriers: Are the aisles cluttered and do items obstruct the traffic-way, aisles, intersections or doorways?

• Aisles and shelving: Are aisles narrow, and is shelving or other areas stacked safe and sturdy?

•

Shared spaces: Is there a lot of foot or vehicle traffic within shared spaces and are people within shared spaces aware of the hazards of working near a forklift?

• Ramps and bridges: Are ramp and bridge surfaces sturdy, clear of clutter and offer plenty of grip?

• Loading dock: Is the loading dock in good condition, clear of clutter and safe?

•

Other factors: Is lighting good? Will the driver have relatively clear vision and hearing within the workplace? Are there any toxic or dangerous items that need to be avoided or handled with care?

Load hazards Load hazards refer to the dangers that may be present when loading and unloading the forklift. These may include: •

Stacking conditions: Are loads stacked correctly and does the person loading them have an understanding of how to stack properly?

• Weights of load: Is the load too heavy or too light, causing a risk of its contents falling or blowing off too easily?

• Pallets: Are the pallets in good condition, free from rot, hanging nails, sharp pieces and similar?

• Visibility: Does the load allow for clear vision?

Forklift-based Hazards The forklift itself can cause hazards and these may include: •

Mechanical conditions: Is the forklift in good condition, with working brakes, steering, mast assembly, motor/engine, hydraulic systems, electronics, indicators and horn, to name a few?

• Safety devices: Are all the forklift’s safety devices working correctly?

• Controls: Are the controls and display working correctly, unobstructed and set out well?

• Emissions: Does the forklift meet emissions standards?

Hazards from Other People In a shared space, people may cause hazards. These include: •

Traffic-ways and walkways: Is there a clear distinction between pedestrian walkways and forklift traffic-ways and are there clear indicators to let people know when a forklift is being used?

•

Awareness: Are people working in the same vicinity aware of how to avoid the forklift and how to work around it, for example, not walking under the forks? Are people taught how to let the driver know they are around and vice versa?

• Restrictions: Are restrictions put in place to avoid forklift use during high pedestrian traffic times or in high traffic areas?

A safety checklist can now be made from this example, listing the steps that need to be taken prior to use of forklifts.

Mozzie & Midgie Mousse Good Riddance Mozzie & Midgie Mousse provides natural, long lasting protection against mosquitos, midgies and sandflies for up to 4 hours without the use of DEET. It contains a strong blend of insect-repelling essential oils such as Citronella, Lemon Scented Tea Tree and Lemongrass.

The organic cream creates a physical barrier for midgies and sandflies and holds the essential oils on the skin for longer than spray repellents. Our founder, Jeannie Lynch, developed Good Riddance to protect her family whilst living in Darwin as she was concerned about the toxic effects of conventional insect repellents.

It has been trialled by fisherman in the Top End and tested in the toughest insect-infested conditions. RRP $20.00 available from natural-wonders.com.au
