THE RATINGS WAR
Two things grabbed my attention this week
(as well as most of Australia). The first was
two groups of grown men , overloaded with
testosterone , going at each other with such
force that we mere mortals would not stand a
chance in their way. Of course I am referring to
State of Origin - watched by literally millions of
Australians. The blues versus the morones. The
toughest match in rugby league. The battle of
the giants.
I heard a commentator say it was an
extraordinary match, where there wasn't much
between the best and worst player on the
field. The oceans of blue and morone in the
stands - and those watching at home from the
edge of their seat (or perhaps couch). Eleven
to ten , what a finish - and all the players shake
hands as mates - with all eyes now on State of
Origin 2.
The other thing that got me going is I was
reminded that Master Chef is in full swing.
You would not have thought it possible. No
violence, no sex, no murder or mayhem. Yet
millions of Australians are captivated watching
people cook. The high drama of battling for an
immunity pin. The pressure test. The invention
test. People sitting on the edge of their seats
waiting for Gary to announce the score, or to
find how many scarves does Matt actually have
and what food is George going to like tonight.
the most wholesome television you could
imagine and probably the most popular.
So let's think for a moment. Syria and ISIS and
Iraq and Afghanistan and the Taliban all fighting
it out. With a deadly force that leaves in it's
path only death and destruction. Where people
are murdered just for being, where there are
no smiles no laughter only hatred and pillage
and rape all for religion gone mad. There are no
cooking competitions, there is only hunger and
famine. Where the crimes are so monstrous
that they could not even be shown on
our television.
Think about these things and then think again
about State of Origin and Master Chef. Think
of how blessed we are by God to live in the
country that we do with the freedoms that
we have. Remember that these freedoms are
hard come by and that's why we have troops
over there and lets hope and pray that they
succeed in their mission and come home safe
and sound.

Boldest-looking Camry with last century pricing!
The Camry is now in its 22nd straight year
as Australia's best-selling mid-size car, clear
evidence the Camry is extremely popular
with Australian drivers. Toyota however
have not rested on their laurels and have just
released the New Look Camry and Aurion
model which is now available at Sydney
City Toyota.
The 2015 Camry was developed for customers
who want a car with more emotional styling
and greater driving enjoyment, according to
the car's chief engineer Masato Katsumata.
The last model to be manufactured in the
Altona plant in Melbourne, the car has been
aggressively priced with the cheapest launch
price on an automatic Camry in at least 18
years – even though today’s car is three
generations newer and has significantly
expanded safety, comfort and
convenience features.
Toyota Australia's senior executive director
sales and marketing Tony Cramb said "The
price for today's petrol Camry Altise is just
$90 more than its equivalent launched 18
years ago in 1997, the automatic Camry
CSi - a vehicle without features that are
now standard such as seven airbags, vehicle
stability control, anti-skid brakes, a reversing
camera and touch-screen audio display”.
Petrol and Hybrid
The hybrid model line-up has been expanded
from two to three variants. Camry Altise,
Atara S and Atara SL are available with
2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol or hybrid petrolelectric drivetrains.
Hybrid variants develop a maximum 151kW
from the combination of the petrol engine,
105kW electric drive motor and electronic
continuously variable transmission, sipping
just 5.2 litres/100km## - a figure typical of
a much smaller and less powerful car. The
government website greenvehicleguide.gov.
au is a great site to compare the fuel efficiency
of your vehicle and stack it up against a Toyota
Camry Hybrid model.
New Sporty Model
Atara SX is a standalone sports model
powered by the petrol engine.The dynamic SX
package, conceived and executed by Toyota's
Australian-based engineers, elevates the
car's handling to create the most agile and
responsive Camry yet.
Immediately obvious are its brawny black fivespoke alloys - the first 18-inch wheels offered
on a Camry in Australia - and wide low-profile
tyres. A new sports suspension provides
impressive body control and ride comfort
simultaneously while a revised electric power
steering system comes with a faster gear ratio
for a more connected driving feel.
While the standout achievement of the
Australian engineering effort was the sports
version, their input and evaluation played a
vital role in ensuring every Camry is suited to
local customer preferences and the rigours of
Australian conditions.
SAFETY
Camry's five-star safety rating is supported by
standard fitment of seven airbags, a reversing
camera, vehicle stability and traction control,
and anti-skid brakes with brake assist and
electronic brakeforce distribution.
SERVICING
When you buy a new Toyota, you don't have
to worry about unexpected and astronomical
service costs. The upgraded Camry is covered
by Toyota Service Advantage^^with up to
five standard scheduled services at $140
each during the first four years or 75,000km
(whichever occurs first). Toyota Service
Advantage is peace of mind with full log book
servicing, by Toyota technicians at a capped
price representing great value for money.
FINANCE
And with Sydney City Toyota’s flexible finance
options, it’s easier than ever to get into a new
Camry. Toyota Access is an easy and flexible
way to put you in complete control when
you’re buying a Toyota with a Guaranteed
Future Value*.
So if it’s time for an upgrade or just time to
see why so many Australians love a Camry,
give Sydney City Toyota a call. They have
valuers on site who can offer you a great
price on your current model if you have
one to trade in, and are a one-stop shop for
your complete automotive needs. Open 7

The work was created in celebration
and continuation of Eora knowledge.
“Following the re-awakening of
Patyegarang last year with our first video
projection on the pylon, we wanted to
reclaim this significant place that is Dawes
Point by continuing the sharing and
celebration of the Eora.
We invite people to cast their mind back
to just a few hundreds years ago and
re-imagine the place we live on today.
We look forward to many more years of
celebration of our culture”, Stephen
Page said.
EORA will also be projected on the
University of Sydney’s famous
quadrangle facade.

WEEKLY HOROSCOPE
ARIES Things have been opening up all around you and
LIBRA When you are feeling at your most low, dear
TAURUS You may feel as though you are going through
SCORPIO Intense energy may have you feeling more
some intense changes both in your life and outside of it,
Taurus, but you are going to find that things are changing
for the better. You may be coming to a point where you
are ready to make big changes: and you need to. Some of
these things aren't in your control, but taking care of those
that are will help.
driven than usual this week, Scorpio. You are ready to
take on some new projects or initiate some things and that
will have you wondering where your time's gone. Try not
to think about that, or the ways you've felt held back in
the past. Rather, focus on the here and now, working with
what you intend to accomplish. Tasks at hand are the best
thing for you this week.
GEMINI You are going to find yourself getting into place
SAGITTARIUS This week finds you quite pensive as
you consider the aspects of your life you are not overmuch
thrilled with, Sagittarius. You may find that you have a lot
of things you want to get done, and a lot more still yet that
you sort of want to let go by the wayside: those things that
are weighing you down or are holding you back? It's well
past time to let them go.
you may be starting to wonder how that's going to work
out for you, Aries. A lot of the things you're seeing unfold
in your life may have you open to a lot more possibilities
now, but at the same time, you may hesitate a little.
Though you don't usually do this, there are some things
that are worrying your self confidence a little.
to make things open up. There have been some frustrating
things going on but you have others that have been
backing you up, though they've also been very stressed
and worn thin, too. Try to maintain a balance of some sort,
and keep yourself on an even keel. I
CANCER You might be feeling very meticulous this next
two weeks, Cancer, and it's no wonder. You're feeling an
urge to organize it all: and you're well aware that there's a
need to do that. You may want to take the time to list all of
the things you need to work on in order, and think about
them over the course of the next few days. You're going to
need to take some inventory- but it will be worth it.
LEO Working through some issues and concerns you
have with others will play a major role in determining
how things proceed in the future, Leo. You are going to be
finding that everything seems a lot more joyful and happy,
things tend to open up and communication is definitely
still on the agenda this week for you. Consider reaching
out to someone you haven't heard from in
a while.
VIRGO Communications are highlighted across the
board, this week, Virgo. You're going to find that things
begin to be much more easy going and laid back, while at
the same time, major revelations may happen. Things are
definitely on an upward swing, and on the whole, there
are many inroads to progress for you that lie in wait.
Be sure to pay attention for any chance to make
some changes.
Libra, consider all you have accomplished. You tend to get
worried about the road ahead, when in fact: if you'd look
at how far you've come you'd realize that everything is
going to be just fine- because you can make it that way.
You have been in many situations where you've overcome
so much more.
CAPRICORN Mapping out a plan for things is good,
Capricorn, but don't get so focused on the bigger picture
that you get overwhelmed. It's going to be an intense
period of big dreams, big goals and even bigger chances
up ahead- and you made all of that happen, but, take
things a step at a time. You'll find that this makes things
flow much more smoothly.
AQUARIUS Giving yourself some time to enjoy life a
bit is very important, Aquarius, but much more important
this week than usual. You may have been giving a lot
of energy to some who might not have appreciated all
you have done- but, you can always give a little back to
yourself, when needed. It is needed now.
PISCES This week you are feeling a bit more out of
focus and scattered than usual, Pisces and your energy
is directed at those things you've been dreaming about
accomplishing. You may have to stop and start a few times
and get yourself motivated all over again: but you are well
on your way to doing exactly the things you have been
wanting to.

Introducing Snugglepot &
Cuddlepie to new generations
BY SANDRA TILTMAN
Two of the most beloved characters in
children’s literature are Snugglepot and
Cuddlepie, made famous by author,
illustrator and cartoonist May Gibbs in her
best known work “The Complete Adventures
of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie”, which sold
17,000 copies during its first release in 1918.
“Gumnut Babies”, the first book written and
illustrated by May Gibbs, was published
in 1916.
The Gumnut babies
are on a mission to see
a human, but only in
the distance. On their
journey to the big
city they meet friends and foes including
Professor Kookaburra, Mrs Fantail, Mr
Lizard, Mr Frog, Mrs Snake, Mr Possum
and, of course, Little Ragged Blossom. Can
Snugglepot lead the way? Can Cuddlepie
hold his nerve? Can they avoid falling
victim to the Big Bad Banksia Man? Find
out the answers when Georgia Adamson,
Christopher Tomkinson, Kirk Page and
Jacob Warner take to the stage in this CDP
Production directed by
Susanna Dowling.
Preview performances of Snugglepot and
Cuddlepie will play at Darling Quarter,
Chatswood, Casula, Parramatta and the
Seymour Centre from 17 June prior to the
opening of the World Premiere season at
The Playhouse, Sydney Opera House from
Saturday 27 June to Sunday 12 July 2015.
May Gibbs' quintessentially Australian classics
have fascinated and delighted generations
of children and families, introducing them
to the wonder and magic of the Australian
bush. Now a new generation will be
entranced by the iconic tales of Snugglepot
and Cuddlepie when these beloved
characters are brought to life on stage in a
modern, funny and enchanting production
that will introduce today’s children to the
wonderful world of May Gibbs.
May Gibbs died aged 92 in 1969, but her
legacy to children lives on. She bequeathed
her Neutral Bay home, Nutcote, to UNICEF
and the copyright from the designs of her
bush characters and stories to the Crippled
Children’s Association (now Northcott
Disability Services) and the Spastic Centre
of NSW (now the Cerebral Palsy Alliance),
generating royalties which have helped
to provide vital support to thousands of
Australian children in need.

SEND US SUITABLE NEWSWORTHY STORIES
John Pond’s tips for
taking great Vivid
photos at night
Set your camera to shutter priority. For
example on a Canon DSLR you turn the top
dial to TV. Whereas on some SLR models, like
the Nikon D40, shutter priority is displayed as
the letter S. If your camera doesn't have TV or
S then refer to your camera manual.
If you have a tripod, set the ISO to the lowest
setting your digital SLR camera will go. For
example, Canon EOS 400D will go as low as
100 ISO, whereas a Nikon D40 will go to 200.
If you don't have a tripod, look for something
you can rest your camera on. For example
a stone or brick wall. No tripod - the only
choice of SLR settings you have for night
photography is to set it to P (Program) and up
the ISO to 800 - 1600
When all else fails, just leave your camera
on automatic, it’s amazing what modern
cameras can do. If using a point and shoot
(yes I know you’ve never read the manual),
turn off your flash.
Good shooting.

New sailing ship for Star Clippers
Star Clippers, the tall ship sailing specialist,
has started building a fourth ship to add
to their fleet of graceful square riggers
and the first new build since the launch of
“Royal Clipper” in July 2000.
The new vessel will be the biggest and most
ambitious to date, carrying 300 passengers,
measuring 8,770 tons and powered by more
than 6,350 sq m of sails. Technically a five
masted, square-rigged barque, the new ship
will be launched in the second half of 2017
and is yet to be named.
The company’s flagship “Royal Clipper” is
modelled on the legendary German sailing
ship “Preussen”, but the new member of
the fleet will be a near-replica of the even
more dramatic “France II”, commissioned
in 1911 and the largest square rigger ever
built. Just as the original “France II” eclipsed
“Preussen” more than a century ago as the
world’s largest square rigger, Star Clippers’
new build will replace its sister, “Royal
Clipper”, as the largest ship of its kind
afloat today.
As well as generous deck space, the new
vessel will have a watersports platform in
the stern, for use when the ship is at anchor.
Three pools, with one that funnels sunlight
through the ship’s atrium into the elegantly
appointed dining room, will ensure those
who like a swim are well catered

will rely on wind power and its sails

Mikael Krafft, who initially operated two
identical four masted barquentines, “Star
Flyer”, which set sail in 1991 and her twin,
“Star Clipper”, launched in 1992.
Adding to the comfort levels for the 300
passengers are four luxurious owner’s suites,
34 suites with balconies plus a variety of
cabin grades.
Operating three of the world’s largest and
tallest sailing vessels, Star Clippers visits
ports often untouched by larger cruise
ships and offers passengers the activities,
amenities and atmosphere of a private
yacht. Passengers can enjoy the romance of
sailing on board a true tall ship in a relaxed
atmosphere, with high standards of service.
The vessels were the first sailing clippers
to be built since 1910 and heralded a
renaissance of a golden age of sail. In 2000,
he added a third vessel, “Royal Clipper”, a
fully square rigged vessel with 42 sails.
The new ship, which is to be delivered in the

will accommodate all passengers for open

Regular guests will be pleased to find the

as the cosy library, bowsprit net and the
al fresco Tropical Bar, where evening
entertainment takes place.
“Royal Clipper” holds the Guinness World
Record as being the biggest five masted ship
in the world.

Mayor of

Sally Betts
Waverley Historical Society
Thank you to the Waverley Historical Society
for inviting me to their wonderful afternoon
tea at Bronte House last Sunday. The society
do such an amazing job at conserving and
promotion our area’s unique history and
during our Anzac Day commemorative
events they held walking tours of Council
Chambers and Waverley Park including
the war memorials and Margaret Whitlam
Recreation Centre. A special thank you to
President Peter McCallum for being such
a supportive and regular attendee at our
The Nib: Waverley Library Awards for
Literature are back. They are now in their
14th year and they launched by Mayor Sally
Betts on Wednesday 20 May as part of a
Sydney Writers’ Festival event called True
Crime – Morality, Money, Entertainment
and the Truth. The event sold out and it was
great to see over 200 people pack the Bondi
Pavilion Theatre to hear authors Caroline
Overington, Charles Waterstreet, Virgina
Peters and Paul B.Kidd talk to Suzanne Leal
about our thirst for true crime stories. For
more information on The Nib, please visit
waverley.nsw.gov.au/nib.
Walk Safely to School Day
Walk Safely to School Day (WSTSD) is a
national event when all Primary School
children are encouraged to walk and
commute safely to school. The annual event
was on Friday 22 May and I had the pleasure
of going along to Bondi Beach Public School
with Buzzy Bee, who has been teaching
our children about road safety for several
years now. Thank you to Cr Angela Burrill for
accompanying Buzzy to Bronte Public School
and Waverley Public School.
Women of Empire Exhibition
Our Anzac Centenary program is coming
to a close with Women of Empire: A
Commemorative Exhibition wrapping up
this Sunday 31 May. If you have not already,
I encourage you to visit Waverley Library
to see the exhibition of original WWI era
costumes staged by Dressing Australia –
Museum of Costume. The collection includes
compelling stories of the sacrifice and
support women provided during the war,
at home and abroad; stories such as that
of Marion Smith, the only known nurse of
indigenous origin to serve in World War I;
and Maud Butler who dressed as a digger and
stowed away twice.

“Council staff received the schedule this
morning and we are currently working through
the details.
“Light rail will provide much-needed improved
transport for the south-east and will transform
our City for the better.
“We know the construction will cause
substantial impacts and now with the release
of the schedule we can better plan how
to minimise inconvenience to residents,
businesses and motorists and implement our
Light Rail Community Support Plan.

GOVERNMENT DELIVERS
SAVINGS FOR SENIORS I encourage seniors to take advantage of
potential savings that are now available
on their electricity, gas and solar bills
through the NSW Government’s new
partnership with AGL Energy (AGL).
NSW Government is delivering on its
election commitment to expand the
Seniors Card program and ease cost of
living pressures. Under this partnership,
over 10,000 NSW Seniors Card holders
in the Coogee Electorate can receive
a 20% discount off electricity usage
charges and 18% discount off gas usage
charges. Seniors who switch their gas
and electricity to AGL before 30 June will
also get a $50 credit on each of
their accounts.
Seniors will also receive a 5% discount off
all AGL tradespeople and appliances such
as heating, cooling and hot water. Those
in the Coogee Electorate interested in
purchasing a solar system have access
to two special offers through the AGL
program. Seniors who purchase a system
outright will receive an initial $100 credit
on their AGL electricity bill.
Seniors Card holders who take up AGL’s
Senior Solar Smart Plan will save at least
$200 off the solar energy plan compared
to regular customers over their entire
contract (7 -12 years).
The NSW Government is doing what
it can to ease cost of living pressures
through partnerships like this which
can make a real difference to seniors’
household finances.
While savings will vary depending on
individual circumstances including your
current level of discount, for Seniors Card
holder Cecilia Hicks, the benefits of the
AGL offer were clear. Initial calculations
estimate that switching to AGL and taking
up the special AGL Seniors Card offer will
save Mrs Hicks more than $300 on her
annual household electricity bill. To find out more about the AGL discount
energy plans, Seniors Card holders
should call 1300 889 324 or visit www.

Randwick Council for Eastern Suburbs merger!
Randwick City Council voted on Tuesday,
26th May, 2015 to oppose a global city
council and to form a merged eastern
suburbs council with neighbouring
Waverley Council and Botany Bay Council.
The proposal, if supported by Waverley
Council, could see a new council of 213,000
residents and deliver cost savings of $103M
over 10 years.
Randwick is recommended by the NSW
Government to be merged into a global
city council of more than 500,000 residents
with City of Sydney, Woollahra, Waverley
and Botany councils - unless a "broadly
consistent" option is proposed.
Adding Botany Bay Council in the merger
will help meet NSW Government Fit for the
Future scale and capacity requirements and
add another 43,000 residents and result in a
further $40M in cost savings.
Randwick Mayor Ted Seng said:"Our
Councillors showed true leadership and
made the right decision to safeguard our
eastern suburbs identity that we so closely
align with, and to protect our community
from the threat of a global city council.
"We know that we are financially strong
enough to stand alone, but that simply
doesn't meet the criteria that's been set by
the NSW Government and IPART.
Mayor Ted Seng
"Burying our heads in the sand would have
sealed our fate as a global city, and seen
Randwick become a suburban outpost of a
mega city council - a decision that would no
doubt have seen high-rise engulf our area
and our sense of community completely lost.
"We've done our due diligence and
considered every option available to us.
Plus, we have conducted our largest ever
community consultation program on this
issue. More than 8,000 people had their say,
and of all the merger options, Randwick and
Waverley was most preferred.
"Our Councillors have also put in place a
number of provisions, including enhanced
employment protection of five years for staff,
and a request that the Government conduct
a binding referendum before any merger
takes place," Mayor Seng said.

Make a difference to sick kids and their families
On Monday 8 June the 2015 Gold Telethon
will be held to raise vital funds for the
Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick.
Three-year-old Hiyam
Each year almost 46,000 children turn to
Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick in
their time of greatest need and the Gold
Telethon’s objective is ensure they receive
the best possible care.
As well as providing expert medical care
the Hospitals' doctors and nurses do their
best to make sure the Hospital feels like a
home away from home for the children and
their families. More than 50% of children
are from rural and regional NSW, a long way
from their local communities, relying on the
Hospital for support.
We encourage you to get behind this
fundraising initiative. The Sydney Children’s
Hospital Foundation exists to promote
the prevention and treatment of illness
and injury in children and there are many
different ways in which you can make a
positive difference.
If you would like to get involved visit www.
goldtelethon.org.au or call 1800 CHILDREN.
