A FEW WORDS FROM THE EDITOR and THANK YOU FROM COUNCIL
I
’m pleased to report that the “Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea” event held
at my home in late June raised $168
for the Cancer Council. The $25 voucher
kindly donated by the Lismore Makers’
Market was won by Paula and Grant as a
door prize, and at least 5 people were lucky
enough to win one of the lovely cancer
council items available as door prizes.
This issue is packed with news and information - so much so that I had to reduce the
font size to get it all in - if this causes any
difficulty please let me know and we might

Bronwen Campbell, Editor
THANK YOU LETTER
Lismore City Council would like to thank
Dunoon residents for being so cooperative
during our recent on-site sewage inspections
throughout the village.
You can provide feedback via an anonymous post-inspection online survey at www.
lismore.nsw.gov.au. It will help us improve
how we do inspections in the future.
To ensure your system continues to work
well, ongoing maintenance should be conducted. Regular maintenance prolongs
the life of your system, reduces the risk to
public health and ensures that our land and
waterways remain in a healthy condition.
There are several things you can do, such as:
•
Install water-saving devices and
minimise water use around the home.
•
Have your septic tank pumped
out approximately every four to five years
(based on a four-person household).
•
Ensure
adequate
sunlight
and
maintenance
of
grass
over land disposal areas (trenches).
•
Maintain
reed
beds
by
trimming
and
thinning
reeds.
There are brochures on the different types
of on-site sewage management systems and

DUNOON CHRONICLES WITH DENIS MATTHEWS
I
n the RRHS Museum in Lismore there
are two special snapshots of Dunoon
Village, both taken from the hill to the
north. I first saw one of them in the Dunoon
PO. Bernie had it there for some reason but
I dismissed it then as being a poor photo of
little value. How wrong I was! For weeks
now I have been engaged in a frustrating
attempt to study these photos by comparing them with the current view but that is no
longer obtainable because of the number of
trees that now obstruct one’s line of sight.
by Architect F J Board. Also discernible
is the residence and shop built for Alfred
Friedman in 1904 (but not shown here).
The Arcade was built in 1910. Had it been
in place when the first photo was taken it
would have obstructed our view of the house
and shop. I was so excited to identify the
two bank buildings. In the detail, the NSW
Bank can be seen to be the nearer, L-shaped,
building also seen in a later photo beside
the two-storied Guest house which burnt
down in a huge conflagration in 1912 together with the bank and the Billiard Saloon.
I am afraid I can hardly reproduce either
photo here so I will content myself with
two details. I am confident that the first shot
was taken after 1907. The Catholic Church
is in its original position on the lot where
the telephone exchange now stands. Also
shown is the original
hall which was dismantled in 1910 and
replaced by the magnificent hall designed
The next photo
(in sepia) was
taken some time
after 1912. It
shows a cluster
of
buildings
between Cowley Rd and Fletcher Rd. (not
shown here). Two fires, sixteen days apart,
destroyed most of those buildings in 1915.
Just two cottages survived. (But are they
still there? If so their roof lines have been
dramatically altered.) The exciting discovery was that the Coffee Palace was built not
on the site of the earlier guesthouse but on
the site of the former Bank of NSW. Once
again the ES&A Bank can be seen both
in the distant view and in a close-up of the
Coffee Palace. The bank Residence(?) has
an awning over the sidewalk. And when the
Coffee Palace was destroyed by fire in 1925
the bank and residence survived yet again
In the second view, the road has been dramatically improved and the post and rail fence of
Richard Bourkes’ property has not just been
replaced with a wire fence but it has been relocated to mark the boundary change declared
in 1912. Tenders to build the Presbyterian
church were being called on Saturday 3 June
1911 Wednesday, while the Methodist parsonage was to be declared open on the afternoon of June 14 and celebrated by a two day
fete at the hall. Now that parsonage presents
a problem. It seems that the same building
is shown in both photos (not shown here)
Denis Matthews
Letter to Editor - TAKE CARE WHEN DRIVING OVER FOOTPATHS!
O
n 20 August at approximately 4:30pm my 3 year
old son was nearly hit by
a reversing van on the footpath at
the driveway next to the Dunoon
Post Office. The offending driver
offered no apology but rather
moved the responsibility onto me and said
that I should have been holding his hand.
When I pointed out that there is a sign
stating “PLEASE ENTER AND LEAVE IN
A FORWARD DIRECTION” (see photo)
he said there wasn’t enough
room for a turning circle
(I don’t believe this to
be the case). The foliage
along the north side of
the footpath is quite thick
which decreases visibility and although there is a
sign many cars don’t seem to adhere to it.
The same thing happened about three years
ago when my older son was nearly reversed
into, while riding his bike along the same
footpath (legal in NSW for children under 12).
While I appreciate this driveway provides access to a business, the post van and
many people who use it for quick access
to their post boxes, I am imploring those
who use this driveway, along what is arguably the busiest stretch of footpath in
Dunoon, to use it correctly and keep your
eyes out for all of our village’s young people
passing by (many of whom are slightly too
old to be holding their mother’s hands).

WILDLIFE INFORMATION, RESCUE AND EDUCATION SERVICE
S
pring is approaching and our local
wildlife are breeding. Right now, you
should be on the alert for two groups:
young echidnas and swooping magpies.
Echidnas are breeding early this year and
puggles may now be in “pouch” - If you
spot an apparently injured echidna, chances
are great that a young one or puggle is not
far away as
the muscle
holding the
puggle automatically
releases
on impact.
Please
take a few
moments to
search the
immediate
area to find
puggles:
they will
be rolled into a ball and may look like a
clump of clay. Because of their spines, it
is difficult to handle or assist adult echidnas yourself. Call WIRES right away
and our hotline will give you advice.
A swooping magpie is protecting the nest at
breeding time. Not all magpies swoop, only
those that perceive an intrusion to their territory. Avoid the area for the short time the
magpie is nesting. You could carry an open
umbrella or wear a hat. Do not try to interact
with the magpie as this will make it more aggressive. The nest is the most dangerous place
for a juvenile bird, as predators can easily
find them, so the parent birds will encourage the young to leave as soon as possible.
They will
leave the
nest before
being able
to fly and
will flutter
from bush
to
bush
being
fed
by
the parents. It could be interesting to observe the magpie parents as
they go through their training rituals.
An all-volunteer organisation, WIRES
relies heavily on the generosity of caring
people for support as we are a charity, not
a government service. Our next training
course will be 20-21 September. If you are
interested, call the 24-hour hotline on 6628
1898 or go to http://wiresnr.org/Helping.

DUNOON PUBLIC SCHOOL NEWS WITH HEATHER LAVERICK
Students off to the Sydney
Opera House!
There are eleven excited students from
Dunoon Public School who are really
looking forward to heading off to the
Sydney Opera House in the next few weeks.
The children will be performing as part
of the Small Schools Ensemble at the Endeavour Concert on Thursday 28th August.
ers living in remote communities today.
The ILF aims to raise literacy levels and
improve the lives and opportunities of Indigenous children living in remote and
isolated regions. This is done through the
delivery of books and literacy resources, publishing and visits out to remote
communities. In addition, the Foundation advocates raising community
awareness of Indigenous literacy issues.
Ruby has taken on the role of Dunoon Public
School’s Ambassador for the ILF and, as
such, will be organising activities to raise
awareness of Indigenous literacy issues.
We are very proud to have Ruby working
for such a worthwhile cause and I’m
sure that she will get lots of support from
the school and community for her work.
Until next time... Heather Laverick
Film Night Fundraiser
While in Sydney, the students will enjoy a
range of activities including a visit to the
NSW State Parliament for a guided tour,
climbing one of the pylons of the Sydney
Harbour Bridge, a guided tour of the Sydney
Cricket Ground, a ferry trip to Manly and the
excitement of seeing the sights of Sydney.

(ILF)
Can you imagine not being able to
read a newspaper, a road sign or directions on a bottle of medication?
Sadly, this is a reality faced by many
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island-
On Friday 15 August I arrived at the hall
for the special film Night. Andy Parks
had been letting us know that the film was
being shown in aid of the Indigenous Literacy campaign but he had not told us that
the organiser was his own daughter Ruby
in Year Six at Dunoon Public School.
Ruby has come forward as the
school’s ambassador to the campaign. This was not a function to raise
funds for her to get to Sydney for the
formal launch of the fund raising campaign at the Opera on 3 September. No!
Her parents are covering that expense.
Ruby has just made a flying start in her fund
raising. As I walked through the door I was
confronted by a spectacular array of used
books for sale. These were just the rem-
nants of a book exchange she had arranged
at school. Suddenly it dawned on me that
this was a family affair. The kitchen staff
was Andy and his wife Renee Du Preez.
The food had been supplied and prepared
by them. Andy and Renee were our waiters
and our cleaning staff. No doubt they had
the help of Ruby’s young sister Jemma.
It was truly a family affair. Not only can those
parents be really proud of their remarkable
elder daughter, but our Village can be proud
to have such a family in our midst. I cannot
imagine a better choice of film for the night.
I am only disappointed that the night was
not advertised more aggressively. Andy
please note that next time you have such a
function we expect you to get out there in
our faces and make sure we all know what
is expected of us as a community. Shout
it from the roof tops. Those who missed
this event will come to realise that they
missed out on something really special.
Denis Matthews
Ruby DuPreez-Parks reports on the
fundraising efforts at the school:
‘We had a successful day of fundraising for
the Indigenous Literacy Foundation, raising
$523 from the
book swap at
school and the
movie night
at the hall.”
“I would like
to thank all
the
people
who
supported me as
ambassador
for the ILF.”
DURROUGHBY ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CENTRE
WATER LAB AT
DORROUGHBY OPEN
R
ous Water and Dorroughby EEC
have been working hard this
term to have the HANDS on
H20 Water Lab ready for school visits.
Dorroughby EEC would like to officially
invite all schools to book a session for
Stage 3 and 4 students. The lab will focus
on inquiry based learning and working
scientifically. There are currently six stations for students to explore in groups of
three. Activities include investigating the
three different states of water using fog machines and digital probes, using a condenser
to separate salt from sea water and constructing a water filter to clean dirty water.
Future plans are also underway to drill
a bore so that students can test bore
water and analyse the impacts of using
bore water in our local area. A website
with resources to support the investigations will also be released later this term.
STAGE 3 ENVIRONMENTAL
ARTS CAMPS
Dorroughby EEC has been fortunate to
receive funding for a visual and performing arts camp this term. Two overnight
camps were scheduled for early August.
The Visual Arts Camp was on the 4th
& 5th of August. Students were able
to create a 3D sculpture from recycled
materials, paint a collaborative mural,
catch and sketch water bugs, and participate in a photography shoot using iPads.
The performing arts camp was on the 11th
and 12th of August with a focus on music,
drama and film making. Students were
able to make instruments from recycled
materials and receive tuition from a professional percussionist to create a musical
item to be performed for parents and staff
before departure. They were also able to
write original lyrics to backing tracks and
compose their own film clip with assistance from a professional drama teacher.

MODANVILLE SCHOOL NEWS WITH ERIN AZZOPARDI
W
e can’t believe that it’s half
way through the year already!
Where has the year gone?
The last week of Term 2 was spent
with our year 5/6 and 3/4 classes
joining Eltham P.S on a camp at Midginbill Hill. Our 5/6 class braved the
great outdoors and camped in tents
for the week, while the 3/4 class utilised the cabins. The students participated in activities such as horse riding,
archery, orienteering and cooking on
camp fires. A great time was had by all!
Sarah and Ashleigh perfecting their aim
With our senior students away on camp,
we didn’t want our infant students to feel
like they were missing out. K/1/2 students were treated to an excursion to the
Macadamia Castle. The students got to
meet all sorts of animals and had a great
time feeding the wallabies, birds and
farm animals. They also enjoyed a train
ride, mini golf and a play in the park.
Modanville students started the new term
with a visit from the Life Education Van.
Over two days the fantastic Jess educated our students in fun, interesting and in-
teractive ways about
health and safety. For
the kindergarten students, who were visiting the van for the
first time, the experience exceeded all of
their
expectations.
They loved meeting

him again next year.

reasons but we hope that millions
would come back with an invitation.
O
n Sunday 27th July we were
honoured to receive Bishop
Sarah McNeil at our regular
Sunday Lunch at Dunoon Club.
History was made last year when Dr
McNeil was elected to the Diocese
of Grafton as the first female diocesan bishop in the Anglican Church
of Australia. She was previously the
Dean of Adelaide, an archdeacon in the
Diocese of Canberra-Goulburn and,
most recently, a senior associate priest
at Holy Covenant in Jamison, ACT.
Bishop Sarah and her husband had
had a very busy schedule over the
weekend of 26-27th July in that they
had been helping St Andrew’s Church
in Lismore to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the dedication of their transepts, chancel and organ. The celebrations had gone on well into the evening
of Saturday and then she had conducted
two services on Sunday morning before
‘Back to Church Sunday’ (or ‘Come to
Church Sunday’, as we have decided
to call it in the Lismore Parish) began
in one Anglican diocese in the United
Kingdom in 2005 and from there the
concept just spread and spread and
spread….Since then it has become
the single largest local-church invitational initiative in the world. Many
other Churches and denominations are
now taking the concept on board and
it is growing to an astronomical size.
Bernie with Bishop Sarah McNeil
coming to Dunoon for lunch with our
little congregation of St Matthew’s.
It was a wonderful occasion. The weather
was glorious and we sat out on the deck
of the Clubhouse and got to know our
new bishop. Such a charming and approachable lady. Both The Bishop and
her husband were very impressed by the
village of Dunoon and its surrounding
countryside and they both expressed a
wish to return here very soon.

DUNOON PRESCHOOL NEWS WITH KATE SCANLAN
T
he Preschool was part of the
Dunoon Wide Garage sale and
we had a lovely day selling sausages and cakes to the community and
visitors alike. We also sold donated
books and clothes and toys. We raised
enough funds to purchase 2 garden beds
which have been placed in a rarely used
though hopefully sunny area. The children are thinking of fruit and vegies they
would like to plant so over the next few
weeks we will research with the children what grows best at this time of
year, what food the plants need to grow
and encourage them to draw plans of
how the vegies will look when planted.
We are all very excited at preschool
because tomorrow we get to go on a
bus to The Lismore Recycling and Resource Centre to learn more about the
new recycling facilities. The preschoolers are very keen recyclers and know
which bin to put each piece of rubbish...
We now have a chicken scraps/compost
bin, a recyclables bin, a soft plastics bin
and a tiny Landfill bin. But the question
has been asked... “Where does the truck
take the rubbish? What happens next?”
so we will find out. While on our excursion we will also get to explore the
Botanical Gardens next door and have a
picnic in the beautiful Hoop Pine Forest.
This term we will continue to explore
ourselves (clay portraits), where we

they provide are to be good role models,
take time to get to know your neighbours, help families in tricky situations,
be a good listener, be respectful to all
people, and to think about safe and respectful ways to be an active bystander

RURAL FIRE SERVICE WITH ROSS McDOUGALL
T
he Bush
Fire
Season
has started early
this year. During
the last couple
of weeks of July
crews
across
the
Northern
Rivers
district, especially west of Lismore, were
kept busy responding to escaped fires.
On two occasions 30+ fires were reported over a three day period. This
highlights the fact that landowners need to put more thought into
their planning when considering any
type of hazard reduction burning.
Locally, Dunoon responded to fires at
Tullera and Repentance Creek. Crews
from Clunes, Rosebank and Goonengerry also attended the Repentence
Creek fire, which was threatening a
house and some sheds on the property.
The fire was successfully extinguished
with no damage to any structures.
The Dunoon crew were particularly
lucky that day. While responding to
the fire via Minyon Falls Road a tree
fell across the truck just clipping the
rear of the crew cab and smashing onto
the operational section and storage
cabinets on the back. This resulted in
considerable damage to the truck but
luckily the crew were unharmed. If we
were in that spot less than a quarter of
a second later the tree would have hit
right across the windscreen and driver’s seat. The crew quickly retrieved a
couple of cabinet doors and other items
which were strewn across the road,
then did some quick running repairs
to secure everything on the truck and
continued on to assist with the fire.
duties you can do if you do not want to
get on the end of a hose to fight fires.
Dunoon brigade meets at the station
in Munro Road most Wednesdays at
7.00pm. Drop in and meet the crew.
The truck is now undergoing a thorough inspection at the Fire Control
Centre and will, most likely, have to be
transported to Sydney for repairs. The
brigade only took delivery of this new
truck after the Sydney/Blue Mountain
fires last October. We are not expecting to get it back before the end of the
fire season. In the meantime we have
our old truck back because it is a Catagory 1 Village Tanker equipped with
breathing apparatus (CABA), which
is used for structural firefighting.
Dunoon brigade is one of only three
brigades in the district trained to use
CABA. It had been stationed at Tullera.
Finally - A reminder that it is an offence
to burn rubbish or garden waste within
the 50 k/h zone of villages at any time
of the year unless you obtain written
consent from Council, and it is a requirement under ‘The Rural Fires Act
1997’ that a person proposing to light a
fire out in the open at any time of the
year must provide at least 24 hours
notice to all of their adjoining neighbours and the Fire Control Centre.
Ross McDougall
A major extension to Tullera station has
been completed. The extension consists
of a meeting/training room with kitchen
and toilet/shower facilities. It will be
used to run workshops and training for
local brigade in the area, complementing the main training centre at Casino.
he Rural Fire Service has introduced new penalties and increased existing penalties for a
range of offences to help protect people
and property this bush fire season. The
fines are effective from 1 August 2014.
Dunoon and Tullera brigades are
looking for new members as their
numbers have dropped over the last
twelve months. If any men or women
out there are interested in joining or
want to find out more about the service
we provide to the community please
contact the Fire Control Centre 666

BUSH FIRE SEASON
T
Included in these increased penalties is
throwing a lit cigerette or match from a
vehicle, which rises from $330 to $660.
If the offence is committed on Total Fire
Ban day, the fine increases to $1300.
The fine for contravening any condition
on a Fire Permit has increased to $1100
and unlawfully leaving a fire in the open
air before it is fully extinguished has increased to $2200. Fines will also target
landowners who conduct unlawful
hazard reduction burns or fail to extinguish any type of fire on their property.
Residents should continue to make
preparations for the Bush Fire Season,
including conducting hazard reduction burns responsibly, where appropriate. Contact the Rural Fire Service
for advice or assistance if required.

BREWING WITH MALTYCULTURAL
W
hat a wonder Saccharomyces cerevisiae is! This humble
beastie is responsible for turning
sugary liquid into beer; yes we are talking
about yeast! Yeast has been humankind’s
close companion for many thousands of
years, in fact we believe that we have
been harnessing the power of yeast for
longer than we have had written language!
A word on styles
Most Lager and Pilsner kits come with ale
yeasts, not lager yeasts (yes, very misleading).
Lager yeasts need to be brewed at 10
degrees. If you can not achieve this (ie
you don’t have a fermenting fridge), I recommend you don’t attempt a true lager.
You can make a ‘faux’ lager by brewing a light
kit such as a Canadian Blonde, at 15 degrees
using a quality ale yeast. 15 degrees should
be a manageable target in winter, and the ale
yeast at this temperature will still produce
a crisp clean beer in the style of a lager.
2. Half fill a clean (soaked in bleach for
a day) garbage bin with water. Carefully place fermenter inside. Find a
cool spot (under the house, laundry etc.
Sheds are probably the worst places.
3. In the morning add as many
of the frozen bottles as you need
to
hit
your
target
temperature.
How to prepare your yeast
Yeast is essential to making good
beer, and sadly, it is a neglected area in most brewers’ regime.
Rule number one, throw away the yeast that
comes with your tin of goo. Whilst fairly
robust, yeast still needs to be kept in conditions that make it effective. Yeast needs to
be fresh, and needs to be refrigerated. The
yeast under the lid of your can fails on one
if not both counts. Here’s a free tip for all
homebrew shop owners...buy a fridge! Not
only will your yeast last longer, it will do
its job better and make higher quality beer.
When brewing, it is a race between the wild
airborne yeast and the one you want to add.
If your yeast is the healthier of the two, it will
start growing and out compete the baddies. I
will detail how to prepare your yeast shortly.
1.
Go to your homebrew store and see
if they are keeping the yeast in the fridge.
If not, gently suggest that they should.
2.
Buy a fresh quality yeast that
suits your style. Once again, there are
many good homebrew stores online (especially Craftbrewer in Brisbane…no affiliation!) that will happily help you out.
3.
10 minutes before you are
ready to pitch the yeast, add the pack to a
glass of cooled boiled water (room temperature). Leave for 15 minutes, then
stir using a sanitised spoon. Open fermenter and tip in; no stirring required.
4.
Fermentation
should
start
within 12 hours. IMPORTANT: DO
NOT ADD YEAST UNTIL fermenter temperature is below 20 degrees.
5.
Try
and
keep
the
temperature
constant.
6.
When gravity reading is the
same three days in a row (usually about
7-12 days, and around 1.010), bottle.
Fermenting
This is one of the most important aspects in
the creation of quality beer, but is the most
misunderstood among homebrewers. Controlling your fermentation is THE SINGLE
MOST important factor in making good beer.
The goal is to keep the beer between
17-20 degrees for an ale (18 ideal),
and 9-13 for a lager (10 ideal).
SUMMER or weather over 20 degrees
Fermenting in weather over 20 degrees can
seriously damage your beer. The reality is
that most people in Australia who make
beer don’t know this. The hotter temperatures cause the yeast to throw fusel alcohols and unwanted esters. None of these
make the taste better, and often make
it really bad….(I think we have all had
some seriously ordinary homebrew; this is
usually the reason why!) So what to do…
The ‘Maltycultural’ bin
method
1. Freeze two or more 2L bottles of water.
4. Cover the fermenter with a towel, making
sure the towel finishes inside the bin (and
acts as a wick, drawing up the water). This
will keep your beer cool throughout the day.
5. Remove bottles in afternoon/evening
and place in freezer ready for the next day.
6. The key time for fermenting is the first
4-6 days. Keep the temperatures down here
and your beer will improve out of sight.
Depending
on
the
season
you
will need more or less bottles.
RULE OF THUMB: It’s better for
your beer to be too cool than too warm.
WINTER or weather under 20 degrees
Many brewers use a heat belt. The same
rules as above apply. If the temperature gets over 20 you are doing damage.
An experiment that you can do is to fill
your fermenter with water and sit it on
the brew pad. Check the temperatures
throughout the day/evening to see if it
BREWING WITH MALTYCULTURAL continued
is within the range. I do not recommend
heat pads; they do more harm than good.
Wrapping fermenters in blankets/sleeping bags, and placing in a well-protected
spot will often keep the temperatures above
15 degrees (which is fine). If your yeast
goes too far below 15 it will take longer to
ferment, and in some cases, stop altogether, but in a protected spot (such as a wardrobe and wrapped in blankets) your beer
will ferment nicely in the colder weather.
A word on airlocks
The most common question from homebrewers is, “Why isn’t my airlock bubbling”!
If you have used a good yeast, and
fermented at the proper temperature, your beer will ferment out.
Airlocks
are
very unreliable.
All you need is
a tiny place for
air to escape
and your airlock
will not bubble.
A small cut in
your
plastic
grommet,
an
uneven seal in
your lid, these
will all render
your
airlock
‘bubble-less’!
I don’t even
use
airlocks
anymore.
I
know
that
my yeast is healthy and the temperature
is ideal. All I do is lightly screw the lid
down. Many brewers use Gladwrap fastened with a large rubber band as a lid.
The bottom line is that there is a race going on
in your unfermented wort (beer). The race is
between your yeast and the wild yeast in the
air…and the strongest yeast wins. Make sure
it is your fresh, correctly rehydrated yeast.
Until next time, learn to love your yeasty
friends; they have been with us from the start!

LOCAL BREWER RECEIVES
BIG CHEERS FOR
NATIONAL BUSINESS
SUCCESS
T
he desire by three executives of a
large Australian beer company to
change their lives and the country’s
brewing industry has led to Stone & Wood
Brewing Company being named the Regional Award winner at the 2014 Telstra
Australian Business Awards on 7 August.
Stone & Wood, established in 2008 by
Jamie Cook, Ross Jurisich and Brad
Rogers as a traditional village brewery
with a contemporary business model, has
experienced almost 100 percent growth
in turnover in each of the past four years.
The company, whose beers include Pacific
Ale, Stone & Wood Lager, Jasper Ale
and limited edition beers such as Cloud
Catcher, Stone Beer and Garden Ale, attributes its success to sticking to the tradition of the brewer not only delivering
fresh and high quality beer but also supporting the community it operates in.
In addition to its commitment to first
and foremost meet the demands of its
local community pubs, clubs and bottleshops – which at times has meant it has
been unable to meet demand of the national retailers – Stone & Wood has established Ingrained, a program that supports local grassroots causes committed to
creating sustainable and social outcomes.
As part of the program, Stone & Wood
donates a Karma Keg to local pubs, clubs
and other venues where people pay whatever they like for the beer until it runs
out with all the proceeds going into a
fund that then makes donations to local
groups, charities and people in need.
Jamie Cook said winning the Regional Business Award provided the 24 members of the
Stone & Wood team with acknowledgement
that they were heading in the right direction and were part of a strongly performing business that
gave the local community a sense of pride.
“We believe it is critical to support our
communities, including our employees,
suppliers, customers, drinkers and residents of NSW’s North Coast and SouthEastern Queensland and continue to look
for ways of adding further value to them.
With this Award, we hope to highlight
that this provides a model for other businesses to learn from,” Mr Cook said.
Will Irving, Group Managing Director of Telstra Business and Telstra
Business Awards Ambassador,
said
“This is a great example of where passion
has driven a business in a way that the
pursuit of profit alone could never match.
The judges were particularly impressed
in the way the team at Stone & Wood
have developed a sustainable vision to
ensure that the passion and dream generates significant growth, profitability and brand longevity so as to maintain
their “X factor” well into the future.”

unveiling ceremony. Among those present
were many returned soldiers, some of
whom were at the landing on Gallipoli.
We need to make more room in our overcrowded shed so our next major job after that
is to have an early spring clean to get rid of
all the excess equipment we have accumulated over the last two years. Unfortunately
we missed out on the opportunity of manning
a stall at the Dunoon Garage sale last month.
The guys helped out the Dunoon Fire
Brigade at The Channon Market on that day.
Mr. W. McLeod said he was pleased to see
so many present to honour the memory of
those who had made such a wonderful sacrifice in defence of their King and country, and
who now lay in foreign lands. He said that
it was most gratifying to parents and relatives to know that in France the same kindly
care and attention was bestowed on the Australians’ graves, as on those of the French,
who also made the great sacrifice.
he guys have been busy over the
last couple of months working on
some personal projects, including building plant boxes and bird boxes
for their gardens, as well as repairing furniture and machinery. The next project on
the books is to make a number of wooden
boxes for the P&C at South Lismore Public
School. They will be for use in the library.
We have also been working on plans for our
new shed. We recently applied for a State
Government Community Building Partnership Grant. If our application is approved we
will be able to get a new purpose built shed
erected on land behind the Sports Club. We
will not know the outcome until December.
If any men out there are interested in joining,
drop in and have a cuppa and a chat. You are
not committed to get involved in working on
projects. The main purpose of the shed is to
provide a welcoming communal space for
men of all ages to enjoy each other’s company.

WAR MEMORIAL
T
he Centenary of Anzac is
soon approaching; 2015 will
be one hundred years since
The Great War. To honour those
who paid the supreme sacrifice
from Dunoon District, a project
has commenced to upgrade our
War Memorial that stands at the
front of Dunoon Community Hall.
The aim of this project is to erect
a flagpole, and to clean and refurbish the memorial and surrounding area. As it stands the memorial marks the names of those that
paid The Supreme Sacrifice from
The Great War 1914-1919 and World War II.
To also honour those from Dunoon District
who lost their lives in later conflicts, Korea,
Malayan Emergency, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and all Peacekeeping Operations,
it is with the greatest respect that these names
should be inscribed on our memorial at this
time. At present we have no local knowledge of those who may have lost their lives
in later conflicts, I therefore ask that families
or friends in the area who wish to share this
information contact Pauline Ph: 66895463.

Cr. T. W. Green (president of

the committee for the invitation to
be present on his own behalf and that of his
fellow councillors, said that in attending functions of this kind many old wounds were reopened, but still it was their duty to do honour
where it was due, in unveiling this memorial
to the deeds of those who gave their lives in
so great a cause. It was very gratifying to
have such a response to the call to defend
the Empire and he was sure that if necessity
arose again the response would be similar.
Mr. W. Munro conveyed Mrs. Munro’s appreciation of the honour conferred on her in
asking her to unveil the memorial. Although
the occasion revived many sad memories it
was a great consolation to know that Australia’s sons had played their part in helping
to turn the tide of battle. The memorial
which was being unveiled that day would
serve to show the rising generations that
their ancestors were patriotic to the cause
of King and Country. The memorial which
had previously been adorned with many
beautiful wreaths and flowers was then unveiled by Mrs. Munro by the removal of
the Union Jack. Mr. S. Milgate sounded
the “Last Post” and silence was observed.

According to Senior Club & Referee Development Officer, Gary Fisher, the club’s
motivation and positivity to the process
was hugely beneficial in working towards
achieving Level 1 Club Accreditation.
“Dunoon United FC carried
out the FFA Club Accreditation process with great enthusiasm and with a fantastic
desire to improve their club.
President Rob Gatt and the
Dunoon United committee
completed the process comprehensively and meticulously
and I would like to thank them
for their efforts,” said Fisher.

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER MARCH 2014 – FOCUS ON EGYPTL
Note from the Editor:
Thank you to Glenda Schofield for
permission to reproduce her presentation given on the World Day of
Prayer back in March of this year.
The focus this year is on Egypt.
WORLD DAY OF PRAYER
GOOLMANGAR / DUNOON
T
hank you Goolmangar Mother
Union for inviting me to be
your Speaker at this year’s
World Day of Prayer, where Egypt is
the country of awareness for 2014.
Egypt is truly ancient and multi-cultural
– having a recorded history of three thousand years – and having been occupied by
the Hittites, the Greeks, the Romans, the
British, the French, etc. While Arabic is
the customary language the Egyptians are
fiercely nationalistic. “We are not Arabs!”
I was invited here today, as I have
an
Egyptian
daughter-in-law,
Manal, who is of the Coptic faith.
live in a cemetery. It has a magnificent open
air Cathedral, cut into a sandstone cliff high
above the plain, able to house a huge congregation – in a suburb where people exist
through collecting and sorting garbage – a
large smelly suburb called Garbage City.
We attended a service there, and were very
impressed with the magnificence, order,
peace and devotion of the worshippers.
It is a city of history. We visited the cell
where St George was imprisoned, and
were guided through a Synagogue built
on the spot where baby Moses was found.
It is a city of wealth – for some. It is a city
of excellence – of learning, of professional
practice. It is a city founded on the mighty
Nile – the second longest river in the world.
Manal’s parents are middle-class professionals. Her father, Nazeh, was a General
in the Egyptian Army, who was a marvellous conversationalist and dancer,
and who delighted in explaining how his
forces (then a Colonel) pushed the invading Israelis from Egypt – back across the
Suez Canal, across the Sinai desert into
Israel, in the Three Day War. He spoke
fluent French and had sound English,
though Arabic was his native tongue.
As Commander of a force responsible
for securing the Sinai, and preventing
Israeli intrusion, he would tell of his experience when visiting the St Catherine
Monastery. It is built on the site where
it is believed that Moses received the
Tablets.
Glenda, Barbara and ‘Gina
The Coptic Church is strong in Egypt, even
though only one in ten Egyptians are followers of this faith. Roughly nine out of ten are
Muslim. There is fierce rivalry, with many
magnificent Cathedrals and Mosques that
you might visit. This rivalry goes far back to
the Times of the Crusades, and even earlier.
The Coptic Church began in Alexandria,
and claims to be the very first Christian
church, ever. Essentially it is very similar in
regalia and practice as is the Greek Church.
Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is enormous
with a population of more than 22 million.
It is ancient, with the three pyramids at
Gaza just a few kilometres outside the city.
The Citadel, a huge fort built by Saladin to
defend against the Crusaders – who never
arrived – dominates the city’s highest point.
It is a city of contrasts – the City of the Dead,
(now with a population of a million plus)
where displaced poverty-stricken Egyptians

in hiding – very afraid to meet the military force at their gates. He was responsible for ensuring that the Monastery was
free of any Israeli forces and had to enter.
The Monks allowed his men to enter and
search – if they left their firearms outside.
Nazeh agreed, truly anxious that his men
were at risk. No Israeli personnel were there,
but the Monks were starving, one with a
serious medical condition. Nazeh provided
food from his army stores, rendered medical
assistance and was invited by the Head
Monk to share a meal with them. He spoke
glowingly of that meal, for the Head Monk
provided a very old flagon of wine, which
Nazeh reported as being truly splendid.
Manal’s Mother Linda graduated as a
Lawyer in the early 1960’s. The extended
Rezkella family embraces many professions – doctors, chemists, architects, etc.
They are hard-working, high-achieving, well-educated aspirational people.
My husband John and I have visited Egypt
twice, first in 2007 when our son Shane was
there as a geologist working for his company
Oil Search, and 2 years later to attend his
marriage to Manal – in February, 2009.
The service was held at St. Mark’s
Church, Cleopatra Street, Heliopolis (a suburb of Cairo). It is an enormous building and can seat 5,000 people.
Most of the guests were Manal’s family and
friends. I remember the incense, the steady,
gentle priests, and the women relatives –
with their occasional loud, shrill trill call of
approval. It is the Bedouin Wedding Call.
This is a very Egyptian way of showing
happiness, support and greeting. (I must
confess we were rather shocked by this
sudden, unexpected noise from the congregation) Only six guests were from our
family. It was a very Egyptian wedding.
During the service at certain times Shane
and Manal wore gold crowns, and glorious capes. Four years later they now have
triplet boys, aged 4 months. All the boys are
thriving, and the parents are surviving still.
These photos show three happy Telly-tubs!

Manal’s Dad died early last year. This caused
much concern for wife Linda, as Sharia law
(Egyptian law) meant that as there were
two daughters but no sons ALL family
asset must became the property of Nazeeh’s
eldest brother (or the closest male relative).
This is a fair example of culture conflict,
which is part and parcel of many multicultural marriages. We Westerners find such
a law difficult to accept. Travel broadens
one’s perspective and encourages tolerance.
While visiting we took a Nile cruise from
Aswan to Luxor. Shane and John had
hired a houseboat and guides to fish the
Aswan Dam. This is a huge waterway, up
to thirty km. wide in parts and 300km long,
It is truly huge. They caught (and released)
both the great Nile Perch (can grow to
200Kg plus) and the Tiger fish, which has
a striped body and enormous sharp teeth.
The Aswan provides electricity and water to
Egypt, and to several neighbouring nations
such as Jordan. The dam is heavily protected by the military – aircraft bunkers, missile
launchers, etc. While travelling across the
desert, in the middle of nowhere you will

basic military training for two years. Every
adult male knows how to use basic weapons.
Our voyage down the Nile was fascinating. We visited many archaeological sites
on either bank of the Nile. At all tourist
sites we found a significant police presence. Manned watch-towers on the highest
ground, Unobtrusive but well planned defensive positions, etc – all for the security of the tourist. The police were armed,
friendly, happy men, willing to help.
All guides had a wealth of knowledge,
though some spoke better English than
others. We soon discovered that many
Egyptians had a wonderfully similar
sense of humour as we Australians,
which led to easy fun conversations.
While in Cairo, Shane, an experienced Geologist who thinks in million of years past,
took us to the Valley of the Whales – way,
way out in that hot, dry, sandy desert. This
is a World Heritage site with fossilised
whale and ancient marine remains scattered
over a large area. As the Mediterranean
Sea has risen and subsided several times
over tens of millions of years, these creatures were stranded. Hence their fossilised
remains preserved in that very dry desert air.

find release at the top of the dome. Practical air conditioning at no expense, always
available! The magnificence of the inlay,
the tiles, and the mosaics simply enhances
these sensibly designed houses of worship.
We do remember the often heard,
loud calls from total strangers as we
journeyed. Many called, “Welcome
to Egypt!” We found this special.

Their economy has suffered badly due
to the recent unrest — for Tourism is
a core industry. It employs many thousands of “little people”. While the religious extremists fight and argue, and the
electronically informed Egyptian youth
strive for a better life, a huge number of
Egyptians dependent on their tourist trade
have little or no trade. They suffer. Tourists just don’t go where there is unrest!!

MEMORIES WITH CHARLES BETTERIDGE
I
n the last Gazette I talked about
the traffic and road conditions in
PNG as well as the many road
accidents I attended while I was
living up in Mount Hagen in PNG.
The main police command barracks in
Mount Hagen is located right next door
to Ela Motors and this command actually covers four main Provinces (or states)
in PNG which includes the Western
Highlands, Enga, Southern Highlands
and Chimbu Provinces. These four
Provinces would have at least 65 percent
or more of the entire population of PNG
and it is also the most diverse. There
would be nearly 600 of the more than
750 different languages known in PNG
spoken in the Highlands alone (and
there are still quite a few unknown yet).
I have travelled a lot throughout PNG
during my 33 years up there. I have
been to all twenty Provinces and have
been to the furtherest points East,
West, North and South of PNG. There
would be no other place on this earth
withwhat Papua New Guinea has to
offer. Its huge variety of exotic wildlife
knows no bounds and even to this very
day new discoveries of birds, animals,
insects and plant life are being made.
There are still numerous kilometres of
unexplored territory yet to be seen by
white man because of the sheer ruggedness and remoteness of the places
in the Highlands areas. Seeing these
remote places from the ground and from
the air is incredible indeed for there
is not the sign of a road into most of
them. There may be a narrow walking
track and in the early years of explora-
tion in PNG it could take
months on foot to get
to these remote places.
There are several very
large and long rivers in
PNG with a couple of
them reaching 1,500 km
or more. I have seen for
myself where local villages on opposite sides
of these rivers speak
totally different languages - barely a hundred
metres or so apart. The
same goes for villages on
either side of a roadway

tribes they took them from. It is perhaps
similar to what happened to the early explorers in Australia with the Aborigines.
Not only were carvings etc stolen by
missionaries and explorers but also
human heads from various native tribes
and again these ended up in museums all
around the world, especially in Germany.
The whole of the north coast of New
Guinea and all its outlying islands were
controlled by Germany from the late
1800’s up until the start of WWI when
an Australian expeditionary force took
control of the German Headquarters
at Rabaul and the powerful German
radio transmitter/receiver at Bitipaka
on 11th September, 1914. This was
the very first engagement of Australian troops against Germany in WWI
but the cost was the loss of Australia’s
very first submarine, AE1, and its crew
of 35 men on board. That submarine and
its crew have never been found since.
It certainly was a very confusing time
in those early years for the original
people of PNG who had never seen a
white man before let alone a gun or even
a pick or a shovel. Nor did they know
the killing power of a gun compared to
their primitive bows, arrows and spears.
However the Papua New Guineans soon
adapted to these “foreign invaders” for
Tribesmen from the Chimbu
Province of PNG
they realised they were up against a formidable force of people who had far superior weaponry and far greater knowledge of the outside world than they did.
It took many years before most of
PNG was really discovered by white
man. Even to this day there are
still new discoveries being made,
whether it be a completely forgotten tribe in a very remote area or new
plant, insect, animal and bird life.
The astonishing thing I found during
my time in PNG is that you could leave
a “modern” city or town in a ‘plane or
in a canoe on one of the mighty rivers,
and within a couple of hours or less you
land at a place that is so remote that
you feel you have gone back through a
time warp to a hundred or a thousand
years or more before. Their overall lifestyle has hardly changed at all, including the village huts and other larger
structures in which rituals and spiritual ceremonies are still carried on
through the generations to this very day.
Besides their internal tribal problems the
Papua New Guinean people were thrust
from the stone age into the 20th century
through two world wars. They knew
they had very little chance to maintain their original way of life as times
and events suddenly thrust them into
this new world - not of their making.

MY LIFE AND OTHER MISADVENTURES WITH CAZ GREENE
IT’S ALL GREEK TO ME
I
By Carolyn Greene
n preparation for my Odyssey
next May (less than a year away –
woohoo!) I have been attempting to
learn not only Greek but Turkish as well.
Not a lot, I’m not so ambitious I will be
sitting reading the native newspapers in
those countries, or ordering complicated
meals trying to impress the locals with
my linguistic prowess and perfect accent.
Just enough of each to show a little respect
for their countries and cultures – I hope.
Going on my attempts thus far I
may do more harm than good with
my conversational skills, although
as a workmate pointed out I usually
speak so quickly it often sounds
like Greek to most people anyway!
I have both Turkish and Greek Berlitz
phrase books which come with CDs
that I have been listening to in the
car to and from work each day much
to Ethan’s amusement since he is
trapped in the car at least to Richmond River – perhaps this explains his
sudden desire to go on the bus again?
I had to order the language CDs as the
only ones we tend to keep in stock at
the book store are the standard Italian/
French/German/Spanish/Japanese. The
Turkish one arrived first so that was
where I had to start, and I can confidently say Merhaba (hi there!) and ask
where the bus station is and even more
importantly I can ask for red wine in
both Turkish and Greek which I am
sure my travelling companion (big
sister) Anne will definitely appreciate.
It has made the trip in and out of town a
positive snorting fest as I try to get my
tongue around the alien words, sometimes just dissolving in giggles after
attempting the first syllable, then listening to the translator repeat and realising how incredibly wrong I was.
Sometimes I have surprised myself and
felt that I managed to get the intonation and rhythm correct, but in reality
I probably sound more like someone
off “Bogan Hunters” ordering a kebab.
I know English is considered one of the
hardest languages to learn but luckily I
clearly picked it up quickly as a tiny
tot, even if everyone else only understands one in five words I speak…
The two languages I am attempting to
absorb are completely different, and
a word in English will take three in
Turkish and what feels like twenty in
Greek – or is that the other way around?
I find it particularly amusing that telling
people you don’t speak Greek takes far
more Greek words than anyone who
can’t speak Greek could possibly remember. I am pretty sure that shaking
my head, shrugging my shoulders while
looking suitably shamefaced and apologetic will get the point across that I am an
ignorant tourist while not embarrassing
myself further. Clearly the fact that I am
the only non-tanned person in the Greek
Islands should speak volumes about my
heritage, although not give away my
country of origin since most Aussies do
actually manage a healthy natural glow
as opposed to a blinding fire-engine red.
Hopefully my sister has moved on from
her baby-oil tanning youth in the 70s
Caz after her
transformation!
and we can float
about in the crystal
clear Mediterranean
for just under the
20 mins it will take
me to burn before
we struggle over
the pebbles they
call beach back
to the taverns to
cool down with a
well-earned drink.
At least on the Turkish phrase CD the
English voices were friendly and polite
sounding, and ditto the translators. On
the Greek CD there is an American man
who sounds like he just wants to play golf
and pick up women in bars and complain
about whether or not they take Amex, and
a British woman who sounds perpetually
pissed off by all things “foreign” huffing
“I don’t speak Greek!” like it would be
an insult to think she could and asks “is
this tap water safe to drink?” with enough
disdain to make even the Queen tremble
like a Chihuahua. Thankfully I am sure
the wine is safe to drink so I won’t
have to ask about the water and sound
like I have a stick stuck up my whatsit.
I will however be ecstatic if I am able
to excuse myself without offense when
I bump into people in a Turkish Bazaar,
which is bound to happen – the bumping
that is, hopefully not the offending.
And that I will remember it is afedersiniz (sorry) not arkadaslik (companionship) that I am muttering as I don’t
want to get more than I bargained for
in Turkey – some exotic curly slippers
will do me, not an over-friendly local!
MY LIFE - IT’S ALL GREEK TO ME continued
It is also important in Turkey that
I remember that number one is bir
(sounds like beer!) but ten is on –
the last thing I want to do is buy
10 carpets when I only want one!
and an impression of Thomas the Tank
help me get my point across do you think?
course his answer is “that’s what I have
you for, so I don’t have to know stuff”.
Since I have only ever learnt a little French
at school, and a smattering of German
and Italian from watching Hogan’s
Heroes and Sophie Loren movies I doubt
that I am showing much skill in my linguistics but I will keep working at it and
hopefully some will stick in my head.
Often a word will pop into my head in
Turkish and I will go “awesome!” and
then realise that even though I have
remembered the word, I have forgotten the English translation dammit.
I woke up at 2am the other morning with
the complete Greek sentence for “can I
have a bottle of red wine please?” on my
lips. I was so thrilled! Of course there
was no call for it at that moment so I had
to hold in my excitement and try to remember it on waking in the morning so
I could share it with grumpy bum hubby
who is definitely not someone impressed
by being shaken awake so you can bark
orders at him in Greek. Thankfully for
him I had absolutely no idea when I did
get up and had to repeatedly listen to the
sentence all the way into work determined
to get that important request down pat.
Too bad he will have to figure it all out
for himself for 5 weeks next year, I
may even come home to an “updated”
version of the man I left behind as
his children finally drag him kicking
and screaming into this millennium.
Ethan thinks it’s hilarious when the translator goes “where is the train station” and
I call out “tren garina nerede?” only to
remember that is Turkish and I am listening to Greek in which “where is” sounds
like “poo in knee”. At least I can say that
even if I can’t write it or remember how
to say train station. Will chugging noises
Of course I speak another language that
hubby Paul does not, and that would be
the language of the 21st Century, hard
drives, terabytes, twitter, high def, download, share, app, lol, which are all Greek
to him. The difference between us, when
I also cannot speak the language I need
to? At least I am willing to learn! Of
I am sure he will one day get the hang of
his new language, and hopefully so too
will I, or the only sustenance I will get
on my trip will be red wine, and as much
as I love it I would like to be able to
have some baklava and a few figs too…
