artsCape ready to storm the beachfront 

Biennial sculpture exhibition artsCape workers will be installing 

pieces in Clarkes Beach Reserve, Byron Bay, from Wednesday 

June 23 to Friday 25 with the assistance of Dune Care. ArtsCape 

is open to the public from Saturday 26 and all are welcome to the 

official opening at the Beach Hotel on Sunday June 27 at 2pm. 

The beachfront will be home to works from local, national and 

international sculptors. They will create sculptures which convey 

messages about the environment and sustainability through ‘humour, 

beauty, mystery and surprise’. 

In addition, over 40 of the artists from artsCape Biennial 2010 

will exhibit small wall, floor and suspended interior sculptures at 

Retrospect Galleries in Byron Bay. The exhibition opens at 6pm 

on Friday and runs until Wednesday July 7. 

Highlights of the exhibition include participating artist Bert 

Flugelman, one of the best known and most influential sculptors 

working in Australia today. Flugelman will exhibit two works in 

copper and marble, Slender Spiral and Double Arch. 

Invited artist Keizo Ushio from Japan will exhibit two white 

marble sculptures. Keizo produces geometrical forms that consider 

ideas of space and time and consequently appear as eternal 

and monolithic in their own right. 

Contemporary Australian sculptor Greg Johns is also participating 

in the indoor exhibition. John’s sculpture is predominantly 

made from corten steel, and his successful art practice spans 

more than 30 years with artworks in major national and international 

collections. 

For more information on the artsCape Indoor Sculpture exhibition 

visit www.retrospectgalleries.com or visit the gallery at 52 

Jonson Street, Byron Bay.

Lismore City Council has taken over 

the Richmond Tweed Regional Library 

(RTRL) administration, resulting in 

the resignation of its director Martin 

Field. Lismore says the move was on 

the cards for six years but constituent 

council members say they have been 

ambushed. 

A meeting of the Regional Councils 

Library Group was held recently at the 

Ballina Council Chambers to determine 

the fate of the structure and ownership 

of the regional library and its 

assets. Operating for more than thirty 

years, the RTRL involves the Lismore, 

Ballina, Byron and Tweed councils. 

Up until now, an informal system of 

co-management has operated among 

the shires with Lismore Council the 

legally designated owner of all assets. 

For many years RTRL director Martin 

Field has tried to have the organisation 

formally changed to reflect the 

informal co-ownership status. But in 

spite of numerous meetings and much 

correspondence with government and 

state library officials, Mr Field was not 

successful in obtaining permission to 

officially convert Lismore Council’s 

ownership into a joint councils coownership. 

Councillor Tom Tabart, a Byron 

Shire representative on the library 

committee, told The Echo, ‘Over a 

number of months the committee had 

been looking at a different model to 

run on the basis that the current one 

had never been legal and was clashing

Lismore City’s regional library takeover angers councillors 

with the Local Government Act. We 

were told this had to be done so we 

looked at a new model. Apparently 

Lismore Council had moved ahead 

on this model and we were effectively 

presented with a fait accompli.’ 

Among the changes, Martin Field’s 

position was made subordinate to the 

finance director of Lismore Council, 

and Mr Field chose to accept a redundancy 

package. ‘It’s Lismore’s right to 

restructure,’ Mr Field said. ‘I perfectly 

accept that. 

‘It’s one of the top performing libraries 

in the state and one of the cheapest 

to run so any suggestion that costs can 

be saved, well, there’s not much left to 

cut. It would be like telling a thin person 

they needed to lose weight.’ 

Cr Tabart said he and fellow com- 

 

mittee member Cr Richard Staples 

would bring the decision back to Byron 

Council. ‘We’re coming back to 

our Council and giving them the facts 

as we see them to see if we’ll go along 

with it. 

‘Lismore’s doing the bully-boy approach 

and saying we can’t do anything 

about it but we can, we can pull 

out and run our own library service. 

We’d have to put up a whole new administrative 

apparatus to run staff – 

it’s a very expensive business which 

up until now has been divided among 

four councils. 

‘There’s a myriad of things we’d 

have to do – we just wouldn’t have 

the pulling power. Basically we don’t 

know where we can go now.’ 

Byron Mayor Jan Barham told The 

Echo, ‘The whole process has been 

very confusing. Lismore Council believes 

they can go ahead and do this 

– our understanding is it should come 

back to Council. We really haven’t 

had a report that fully explains the 

implications of all this, for example 

how our assets are affected, and our 

new library ...’ 

Mr Field was keen to point out that 

the high standards reached by the regional 

library under his directorship 

were not due to his efforts alone. ‘It’s 

not a one-man band. It’s been a total 

team effort. 

‘A champion staff team has made 

it successful – with the support of 

course of the Regional Library Committee.’

Dancers are deadly at Bruns school 

Story & photo Eve Jeffery 

Fifty-five students from around 

the shire have spent recent 

weeks glamming it up indigenous 

style in preparation for a 

special dance performance. 

The Brunswick Valley community 

of schools financed a 

five week Coroboree program 

for indigenous children in the 

area. Each week for two hours 

children from Goonengerry, 

Coorabell, Mullumbimby, 

Ocean Shores, The Pocket and 

Brunswick Heads converged 

on Mullumbimby High School 

for training with indigenous 

artist and dancer Dhinawan. 

The idea grew from a seed 

planted a few years ago when 

principal of the Brunswick 

Heads Public School Mick 

Channells asked Dhinawan 

to teach the indigenous students 

at the school. Since then 

Dhinawan has followed these 

kids to Mullum High where 

Aboriginal Education Officer 

Scott Sentence has been supporting 

the program and coordinating 

the senior students, 

now known as the ‘Deadly 

Dancers’. 

‘The idea was to get the high 

school kids to be mentors for 

the primary school kids,’ says 

Dhinawhan. ‘In this way, the 

teenagers have to act as role 

models and the younger kids 

have someone they know when 

they get to high school. It’s all 

Indigenous students from across the shire with organisers Dhinawan, far left, and Scott Sentence, 

far right, gathered for a dance performance at Brunswick Heads Public School. See more

about community.’ 

For some for of the students 

it was their first Coroboree 

training and some have been 

doing it for a few years. Mullum 

High’s Harley Black and 

Chloe Power have been dancing 

with Dhinawan for the 

last four years and have taken 

on the role of captains for the 

Deadly Dancers. 

Dhinawan had a huge task 

melding the students but says 

that they soon got into the 

swing of it. ‘It was a lot of work 

as they are all from different 

AUDIO ENGINEERING FILM MAKING 

�� 

schools, but once they were all 

gathered, they knew they were 

there to learn.’ 

Dhinawan says that without 

the help of Scott, the children’s 

family members and the principals 

and school staff, the event 

wouldn’t have happened. 

‘It takes a community to raise 

our kids,’ said Dhinawan after 

the performances. ‘It was great 

to see so many people in the 

community taking part. That 

way, everyone gets to share the 

beauty of Aboriginal culture.’ 

The core groups of Deadly

Shire’s youth celebrates NAIDOC Week 

Young people from the north of 

the Shire are coming together 

to celebrate NAIDOC (National 

Aboriginal Islander Day 

Observance Committee) Week 

with ‘Indigenous Fresh Chords’ 

at Bruns Soundshell on Saturday 

July 10, 11am-4pm. Byron 

Council’s youth activity coordinator 

Belle Arnold has enlisted 

Bruns CDAT team, Mullum 

Youth Recreational Facility 

crew, Byron Youth Council and 

other keen community groups 

to provide a family fun day with 

free activities for the kids, arts 

and crafts and a bush tucker 

BBQ. Entertainment will fea- 

ture the Fresh Chords performing 

music, dance and culture. 

‘I’m thrilled to be working 

in partnership with local 

youth groups and I want to 

encourage everyone, especially 

the indigenous community, to 

come along and celebrate, and 

let the kids entertain you,’ said 

Belle. 

This year NAIDOC week is 

celebrating Unsung Heroes, 

the quiet achievers in the 

indigenous community who 

lead by example and help ‘close 

the gaps’ between indigenous 

and non-indigenous and 

the gaps in knowledge and 

understanding. 

‘Young people in our 

community definitely deserve 

recognition’ said Michele 

Grant from Bruns CDAT. ‘I’m 

so impressed with the way 

they work and play together, 

they are leading the way into 

a brighter, more tolerant and 

respectful future.’ 

Indigenous Fresh Chords 

will feature Dhinawan and the 

deadly dancers, Nigel Stewart, 

Hip Hop and lots more. 

The Youth Arts space will 

include screenprinting, sand 

art and award winning artist 

Mirra-winni Gaze with her 

traditional art and baskets. 

NAIDOC Week celebrations 

will also be held in Byron Bay on 

Thursday July 8, commencing 

at 10am with a march from 

Railway Park to the Peace Pole 

(near the Surf Club). Hosted 

by the Arakwal of Byron Bay 

there’ll be plenty of fun and 

food for all the family and lots 

of music, dance and culture.

in performing or helping out 

at the NAIDOC events can

School celebrates canteen remake 


Four years in the making, a 

refurbished canteen was welcomed 

by Ocean Shores Public 

School with an opening ceremony 

and a cake last Friday. 

The school’s P&C canteen 

committee started the project 

in 2006. Federal government 

BER funds were allocated to 

the school last year. 

The canteen committee 

came up with a workable design 

within the confines of an 

existing canteen building and 

after consultation with architects, 

building engineers and 

the Department of Education, 

work began after this year’s 

Easter school holidays and was 

completed three weeks ago. 

Work on the canteen included 

a total bench and kitchen fit 

out with a stainless steel preparation 

bench, the removal 

of an internal wall to create 

a better airflow environment 

which included having all new 

louvred windows installed, a 

new pantry and floor coverings 

and new window screens 

Ocean Shores Public School principal Chris Hauritz and students from years K to six are excited 

about the lunches and treats served up by parents at the new canteen. 

and front screen door. 

The opening was planned 

for Friday to coincide with 

‘Healthy Schools Canteen 

Day’, the NSW Department 

of Education’s day of recognition 

for all the workers and 

the healthy canteen programs 

being run by the schools statewide. 

The canteen was officially 

opened when school principal 

Chris Hauritz and the school 

captains cut the ribbon and 

Tania Dawkins, the previous 

canteen manager involved with 

the early planning of the refurbishment, 

and Amali Hazelwood, 

the youngest student 

attending the school, cut the 

cake. 

Mark embarks on monster marathon for Uncle 

While brainstorming fundraising 

ideas to raise money for 

Byron Bay community organisation 

The Uncle Project, Mark 

Gasson who runs the show was 

challenged by a Pommy mate 

over a pint back in the old 

country to ride a motorbike 

right across Australia. 

Always up for a challenge 

and not one to say ‘never’, (despite 

having relatively little biking 

experience and being on P 

plates!), Mark, now sponsored 

by Ducati, will ride his Ducati 

Monster from Steep Point, 

Western Australia, to Byron 

Bay in July, connecting with 

other local community groups 

along the way. 

Mark will fly to WA, freight- 

ing his motorbike to Steep Point 

where the ride will begin. He 

will follow Route 1 from Steep 

Point via Mount Magnet to Kalgoorlie, 

across the Nullabor 

Plain to Ceduna, SA, on to Port 

Augusta, Adelaide, Sydney, Armidale 

and then heading north 

until he reaches the finishing 

line at the lighthouse. 

Already sponsored by 

Ducati, Westpac and other key 

Australian companies, Mark is 

looking for sponsorship and 

donations to ensure the ride is 

a successful fundraising activity. 

The Uncle Project is funded 

solely by companies and members 

of the public, so donations 

are always needed to guarantee 

this effective organisation continues 

its good work.

YOUR COLLEGE YOUR FUTURE 

Holmgren sees a self-reliant future 

Lani Summers 

Last Thursday the Mullumbimby 

Civic Hall was filled to capacity 

as hundreds of people 

came from near and far to hear 

the pragmatic and possibly 

prophetic words of David Holmgren, 

one of permaculture’s 

two cofounders. His discourse 

related to ‘Future Scenarios’ 

based on the different combinations 

and possible timings 

and impacts of cheap energy 

descent (peak oil) and climate 

change effects. 

Far from being an Armageddon 

alarmist, Mr Holmgren 

came from an optimistic position 

of encouraging an organised 

transition, rather than 

the ill prepared alternative. If 

a hailstorm is coming it is not 

considered hysterical to move 

your car under cover, in the 

same way that by facing the 

imminent storm of change the 

impact may be less severe. 

I asked if the average Australian 

has the necessary skills 

for the transition. 

‘I think the young people today 

will be the equivalent of 

those who went through the 

Depression and the Second 

World War,’ Mr Holmgren 

said. ‘Until it is tested we don’t 

know what people are capable 

of, we don’t know what capac- 

The Ocean Shores Roundhouse 

site subdivision will be considered 

at the next meeting of Byron 

Shire Council this Thursday. 

The staff recommendation 

is for the land to be subdivided 

and sold. The staff report states: 

‘It is the view of management 

that the recommendations to 

Council remain unchanged 

because of the opportunity for 

Council to potentially realise 

a large financial return that 

could be used for a range of 

uses including much needed 

refurbishment and upgrade of 

its extensive existing assets.’ 

Jan Mangleson, president 

of the Ocean Shores Community 

Association and Ri Fraser, 

president of the Ocean Shores 

Art Expo said in a press release:

‘Also in the last 30 years, the 

counter culture has developed 

some of the elements of this 

resilience, self reliant, frugal 

living, salvaging and recycling, 

creative use of materials, food 

gardening, sustainable business 

systems, permaculture 

and similar systems. Though 

overall we would have to say 

that society has become more 

vulnerable. In fact that lack of 

skills is our greatest vulnerability, 

not the lack of physical 

resources.

to be sold just to be used for “refurbishment

other words for maintenance? 

Potholes? Fixing up old buildings? 

Is that wise use of the best 

asset Council owns? 

‘Council has virtually ignored 

the public meeting of 

May 24 at the Ocean Shores 

Country Club which unanimously 

agreed the land should 

be retained for public use. 

‘The meeting also called for 

the concept for a potential use 

of the site to be forwarded to 

Council for its consideration. 

This was done. The concept,

Jerry Cook, included

‘The social brittleness of 

individual separation and relating 

only through social networks 

don’t involve the actual 

economic, deeper personal 

interdependence necessary for 

more valuable community self 

reliance and interdependence.

to provide income for ongoing 

support of the facility. 

‘A Roundhouse Action Group 

has been formed, consisting of 

delegates from shirewide community 

and cultural organisations. 

It has already met with 

Prof Arthur Shriberg of Southern 

Cross University on the 

formation of a business plan 

for the Roundhouse site, based 

on Jerry Cook’s concept. 

‘An effective business plan 

is an enormous undertaking, 

especially for a community 

group. It requires extensive research 

and expertise. Council 

asked us to provide this, but it 

has given us less than a month. 

‘Hitchhiking, talking to 

strangers, engaging in informal 

structure can redevelop quite 

readily, but the risks are exemplified 

in the harsher scenarios 

where people may go into fear 

and separation and encourages 

an authoritarian government 

response. 

‘In more rural areas like this, 

I see a lot more land sharing 

emerging to increase personal 

and collective land productivity. 

So for young people I would 

see that as a reason to build lots 

of skill and become a very ‘useful’ 

person and that gives you 

your greatest security along 

with your health and fitness.’ 

� Permaculture is described as 

‘a design system based on ecological 

principles’. Human habitat 

and systems are integrated 

into a whole ecosystem view, 

rather than upholding the long 

held separatist perspective between 

humans and nature and 

therefore it makes it a good fit 

to design for future challenges. 

In the words of ecologist/activist 

David Suzuki: ‘What permaculturists 

are doing is the most 

important activity that any 

group is doing on the planet.’ 

Information on transition and 

permaculture can be found at 

www.transitiontowns.org and

Residents blast Council on Roundhouse plan 

We ask for Council to give us 

time and some assistance to 

get this plan done. Councillors 

then will have far more information 

on which to base their 

decision. 

‘Councillors are being asked 

to make decisions on a development 

application that is nearly 

a decade old, on a subdivision 

that uses some of the best land 

for road base, and in a format 

that hardly considers Council’s 

own sustainability principles. 

‘Council has failed to provide 

a shire cultural facility. 

Every Northern Rivers shire 

has its own area arts gallery, 

library and museum. We ask 

people to come to the council 

meeting next Thursday at 9am 

to give their support.’

Every winter, residents of RSL 

Life Care retirement villages 

in NSW are offered a Winter 

Wonderland Festival in the 

grounds of the homes. At Bayside@Byron, 

formerly Pinehaven, 

they were treated to a 

visit by Old McDonald Farm 

baby animals. 

Collected in a small enclosure 

out the front of the main 

building, the piglets, ducks, 

lambs, calf and chickens were 

surrounded by a circle of seated 

residents swathed in crocheted 

shawls. 

Activities Officer Tony Radburn 

told The Echo that ‘every 

winter we have something – 

last year we decided we were 

on a cruise ship and the year 

before we did the Winter Olympics. 

All the RSL Life Care 

Homes in NSW do the same 

thing on the same day every 

year. 

‘The program runs for a week 

and there’s lots of activities, 

events and entertainment.’ 

The previous day there had 

been an opera singer performing 

show tunes and jazz. According 

to director of nursing 

Michelle Dwyer, ‘We had a 

fantastic day – they were all 

absolutely mesmerised.’

roundabout 

Work on the roundabout entrance 

to the Byron Regional 

Sport and Cultural Centre 

(BRSCC) is due to commence 

this week. Council awarded the 

roundabout construction contract 

last month to local company 

Brunswick Quarries. 

Council’s executive manager 

of community infrastructure 

Phil Holloway said construction 

on the $1.13 million 

roundabout is expected to take 

about 14 weeks. He said motorists 

may experience some delays 

during this time but traffic 

controllers would be on hand 

to assist with traffic flow. 

Flashing traffic signage will 

also be in place. Construction 

will occur from 7am to 6pm 

Monday to Friday and 8am to 

1pm Saturday. 

Mr Holloway said the 

roundabout access is part of 

the $16.8 million BRSCC construction 

program. ‘Work to 

date has been going well on the 

site with over 700 trucks of fill 

being brought into the site with 

little disruption to traffic.’ 

Motorists are encouraged 

contact Council on 6626 7000 

if they have any questions or 

concerns during construction 

of the roundabout. Additional

Jannine’s organic baby store turns ten 


Jannine Barron has grown her 

business like a healthy baby 

and her ‘child’ is about to turn 

10. Jannine’s story is literally 

one of rags to riches, which 

started with twenty dollars 

and a piece of cloth. ‘I was on a 

parenting benefit,’ says Jannine. 

‘I had been travelling before 

I got pregnant so had no resources 

behind me. 

'My life was primarily as a 

volunteer and I funded my 

travels with teaching, media 

and human rights administration 

work. I always did what 

I loved whether it paid me or 

not. I remember having $20 

that I could spare to buy some 

fabric. I had to wait until the 

next fortnight to buy more’. 

Jannine wanted to be able to 

work from home to look after 

her own toddlers and she first 

opened the doors of Australia’s 

first organic baby store in her 

garage in July 2000. She sold 

to local Byron Bay parents and 

her hours were from noon to 

5pm one day a week. 

She also began to sell her organic 

products online. ‘I developed 

an online niche business,’ 

says Jannine. ‘We had about 

ten sales a week. Every sale online 

is still exciting, even after 

all these years.’

Nature’s Child now retails 

from its Byron Bay premises 

on Banksia Drive, the showroom 

a wonderland of every

mission of Nature’s Child is to 

sell certified organic, chemical

‘Our vision that we work with 

every day is simple: “Cherish 

our children, cherish our 

earth”.’ 

‘Our products are simply 

beautiful with the core value 

of no chemicals. It’s such a basic 

concept that we would not 

expose our children to harmful 

chemicals. It still seems strange 

to me that I have to “sell” this 

as a concept of interest, but the 

truth is that most people just

The Byron Markets at Butler 

Reserve in summer can be 

unremittingly hot – but now 

a solution has been found. A 

collaboration between the Byron 

Community Centre, Byron 

Shire Council, the Green and 

Clean Awareness Team and the 

markets (Byron and the Farmers) 

has formed to beautify 

the reserve by planting native 

trees and covering bins with 

frangipani artwork. Fittingly, 

the tree-planting took place on 

World Environment Day when 

a group of volunteers representing 

the bodies concerned 

assembled at the reserve armed 

with shovels, spades, wheelbarrows, 

hoses and trailers. 

Byron Market Manager Tess 

Cullen calls it the ‘greening [of] 

the market ground’. She told 

The Echo that Council had donated 

mulch and soil and, at 

the time of the Echo’s visit, 6 of 

the 20 lillipillies promised. 

‘This is what I like’, she said, 

‘it’s an incredibly collaborative 

event – the crew is a whole lot 

of people from the community. 

Everybody’s got involved. 

‘Stage Two is under-planting. 

I’ve got people into regeneration 

who’ll come and plant the 

right trees. It’s beautification.’ 

About ten of the trees will 

grow to 7-10 metres high, creating 

canopies and shading the

entranceways to the market. 

‘On the gateways I’m making 

some green areas’, Tess said, 

‘The charity groups there fry 

on a hot day!’ 

Farmers Market director 

Donald Recsei said, ‘Because 

we’re a weekly market I’ve undertaken 

with the farmers to 

water the trees. I’ll get three or 

four farmers and give them the 

responsibility of watering. Initially 

it’s so important to water 

regularly.’ 

Local businesses Cape Nursery 

and Bangalow Wholesale 

Nursery have also donated 

some large shade trees. As 

for those lillipillies – ‘we just 

thought the lillipillies at the 

roundabout should be put to 

good use,’ Byron Community 

Centre’s General Manager Paul 

Spooner told The Echo. 

‘They’ll be planted in the 

busking areas to provide shade. 

It looks so barren, it’s nice to 

see the trees being used.’ 

Go stay healthy 

According to Paul there are 

‘always complaints about not 

enough shade’ at the markets. 

‘This is community land,’ 

said Tess. ‘The Byron Market 

has been treeless for too long – 

in summer it’s just too hot.’ 

Water gums and white gardenia 

will be among some of 

the trees planted. Together 

with the vibrantly painted 

frangipani bins the Reserve 

will definitely be a more beautiful 

space.

Council project wins national award 

Byron Shire Council has taken 

out the overall prize for Excellence 

in Local Government for 

the Brunswick Area Sewerage 

Augmentation Scheme (BA- 

SAS) awarded at a ceremony 

with Prime Minister Kevin 

Rudd at Parliament House in 

Canberra last Thursday. 

‘This is the top national local 

government award,’ said Mayor 

Jan Barham. ‘It doesn’t get any 

better in terms of a gold medal 

for local government projects. 

‘It is an achievement to be 

extremely proud of as it demonstrates 

Council has the 

right approach in ensuring 

environmental and social outcomes 

receive a high priority 

in community infrastructure 

projects.’ 

Mayor Barham thanked 

the community for ten years 

of input and support towards 

the infrastructure project. ‘The 

initiative and collaboration of 

the Brunswick River Wastewater 

Steering Committee and 

ongoing work by community 

groups such as Landcare, has 

been recognised at the highest 

level,’ she said. 

She also acknowledged the 

support of Council staff in ensuring 

the project was at the 

forefront of environmental infrastructure.

Volume 25#03 June 22, 2010 

Library takeover 

The Richmond Tweed Regional Library (www.rtrl.nsw.gov. 

au) provides an excellent service to the north coast region 

which includes the Lismore, Ballina, Byron and Tweed council 

areas. This is due in large part to the inspired leadership 

of its director Martin Field and the cheerful, informed staff 

who greet you at its various branches. 

Each council contributes to the RTRL’s funding, along 

with the state government, but now we are told Lismore 

Council is taking over the whole show, controlling staff and 

finances. Various councillors have described the move as 

an ‘ambush’, while Lismore mayor Jenny Dowell says the 

change has been on the cards for six years. Obviously Lismore’s 

consultation process hasn’t worked, if the reactions 

of other councillors on the library committee are anything 

to go by. 

Apparently the RTRL service has operated on an informal, 

cooperative basis among councils for the last 30 years 

outside the requirements of either the Library Act or the 

Local Government Act. No-one had been troubled by this 

arrangement until the state government decided to tighten 

up the legal position, presumably for insurance reasons, 

and insist on one executive council. Lismore says a county 

council model, similar to Rous Water, for example, had been 

proposed but did not receive the support of all member 

councils. This is not really a decision that Lismore or any 

other member council should have to take – the state 

government has been derelict in its duty towards establishing 

a statewide, well-funded management system for our 

libraries. 

Now that Lismore’s finance director has control of the 

money, there is a danger that constituent councils, operating 

purely in an advisory capacity, will be reluctant to 

contribute funds, thus impoverishing a service from which 

we all – those of us who borrow books anyway – benefit. 

Will Byron Shire and the staunch community lobbyists be 

happy to hand over administrative control of the longawaited 

new Byron Bay library to Lismore bureaucrats who 

have no involvement in its history? 

The first sad casualty of the change is the loss of Martin 

Field’s expertise. Set to be the underling of a Lismore manager, 

Mr Field chose instead to take a redundancy package 

– no-one can blame him for doing so. Mr Field has been a 

highly articulate promoter of the rights and joys of our free 

library system, and has frequently pointed out how the 

state government has fallen behind in its level of funding 

compared to other states. He deserves our thanks and best 

wishes. 

I hope the north coast councils, along with the state 

government, can resolve this administrative kerfuffle in a 

positive manner which will not endanger the RTRL funding. 

They can be sure the eyes of library members – we love our 

library and we vote – will be upon them.

Beyond the dead embrace of gossip 

B eing 

totally out of touch 

unfocusses the mind 

wonderfully; the dayto-day 

crises of the political 

scene fade into insignificance 

once they cease thrusting 

themselves upon what passes 

for one’s attention. 

For the last ten days I have 

been in the deep north of 

Australia, insulated from the 

media like a baby koala in its 

mother’s pouch. No press, no 

radio, no phone, no internet. 

The blissful seclusion was 

broken just once, when I 

chanced across a copy of the 

Northern Territory News of 

Tuesday, June 15. From this 

journal of record I learned that 

charter flights were bringing 

asylum seekers from Christmas 

Island to the mainland, 

which I had gleaned a month 

or so previously. This single 

piece of national news was 

buried under the comics. 

Apart from that, my sole 

contact with what the political 

pundits insist on calling 

the real world has been 

campsite gossip. In Lawn Hill 

someone mentioned that the 

press gallery appeared to have 

abandoned its febrile pursuit 

of a leadership change in the 

Labor Party; apparently it 

had finally dawned on even 

the ultimatum-threateners of 

The Australian that you can’t 

have a challenge without a 

challenger. 

Instead, the gallery had reverted 

to its other favourite 

obsession: speculation about 

an election date. Someone 

else claimed to have heard an 

ABC news broadcast of Bob 

Brown gravely opining that 

although the election could 

be as late as April next year, it 

probably wouldn’t be. Someone 

else noted that Barnaby 

Joyce had been reported as 

suggesting that the coalition 

could win five, or possibly 

six, seats in Queensland. 

After that the conversation 

turned to regret that while 

the nearby fossil beds of Riversleigh 

had unearthed traces 

of the ancestry of every mammal 

currently living in Australia, 

the origins of Kevin Rudd 

and Tony Abbott remained a 

mystery. Of course, to retrace 

the ancestry of Barnaby Joyce 

one would need to go further 

south, to the dinosaur fields of 

Richmond and Hughenden. 

And that was about it. 

Hence what follows is written 

unencumbered by knowledge, 

information, news, gossip, 

slander, innuendo, lies and the 

Murdoch press. 

It must be said that in the 

far north, politics is not the 

main area of concern; the 

weather beats it every time. 

The floodwaters are receding, 

most roads are now open, 

and the countryside is alive 

with wattle, grevilleas, turkey 

bush and flowering gums, not 

to mention the odd roadside 

runner of wildflowers and the 

carpet of water lilies on the 

lagoons. 

On the rare occasions that 

people can be drawn into debate, 

they are anything but 

passionate. Okay, so Kevin 

has been a bit of a disappointment, 

but aren’t they all? At 

least most people kept their 

jobs through the global recession 

or whatever it was, and 

you have to give him a few 

marks for that. And as for all

the talk about wasted money 

– well, we didn’t get too much 

insulation out in the bush, but 

a few of the local schools have 

done all right out of the BER, 

whatever that is. 

And don’t believe the miners 

are going to go broke; Century 

and Macarthur are doing 

very nicely thank you and 

don’t let anyone tell you different. 

One incredulous worker 

said he had heard stories that 

Gina bloody Rinehart, Lang 

bloody Hancock’s daughter 

and the richest woman in the 

whole bloody country, was 

leading protests. That’d be a 

bit of a joke wouldn’t it? Another 

noted that the so-called 

protestors were adapting an 

old union chant: ‘The miners, 

united, will never be defeated.’ 

Give us a break. If the bosses 

want to pinch the workers’ 

songs they could at least 

make up their own words. A 

few suggestions: ‘The miners, 

tight-fisted, can never be 

resisted.’ ‘We’re miners, we’re 

heavy, we will not pay the 

levy.’ ‘The miners, hell-bent, 

refuse to pay the rent.’ ‘The 

miners have practice at dodging 

paying taxes.’ ‘Hey Kevin, 

piss off, it’s our right to make 

huge profits.’ And so on ad 

infinitum. 

The overall feeling was that 

no one really understood how 

the new tax would work, but 

if the bosses were screaming 

so loudly about it it couldn’t

be such a bad thing. This, of 

course, was precisely the reaction 

Kevin Rudd and Wayne 

Swan had been hoping for 

from the start. The screaming 

hostility the miners and their 

allies in the opposition and 

the media have been trying 

to whip up is simply not there 

– well not yet, and not in the 

backblocks of the far north. 

If they have to talk about 

Rudd (Kevin, that is, not 

Steele of Dad and Dave fame) 

there is a definitely a sense 

of let-down; they don’t think 

he’s done all that much wrong, 

but there’s not too much to 

cheer about either. Rudd the 

dud perhaps, but what’s the 

alternative? Even one diehard 

Liberal voter confessed that 

although he would continue 

to toe the party line, the prospect 

of Abbott filled him with 

pain and gloom. There was 

a notable lack of enthusiasm 

for either option. The conventional 

wisdom is that apathy 

favours the incumbent, and 

that would appear to be the 

case at present. 

There is certainly space for 

Rudd to make a comeback; if 

he is able to divide the miners, 

and reach some kind of agreement 

with even a few of them, 

it could be sold as a victory, 

and in the absence of anything 

much else would probably be 

enough to swing the balance. 

But it will take a mighty effort 

indeed in his second term 

if he is ever to recapture that 

first fine careless rapture of 

the heady days of Kevin 07. 

And Tony Abbott will need to 

mature considerably both as a 

person and a politician if he is 

to be given a second chance. 

In 2010 it appears that we 

have escaped a double dissolution 

election, only to be 

saddled with a Double Disillusion.

Missing out 

A recent analysis by The Australia 

Institute has found that 

people living in this region 

may be missing out on government 

assistance they are 

entitled to. We examined four 

Centrelink payments – Parenting 

Payment, Carer Allowance, 

Disability Support Pension and 

Bereavement Allowance – and 

found that more than 168,000 

Australians are likely to be 

missing out on entitlements 

worth a total of $623 million. 

The main reason for this is a 

lack of awareness of available 

support and knowing how to 

access such help. Currently 

there is no obligation on Centrelink 

to pursue people who 

are eligible for payments but 

may not be aware. Our study, 

Missing out: Unclaimed government 

assistance and concession 

benefits, can be found 

at www.tai.org.au.

Make a swap 

Ah, the advantage of incumbency! 

To say nothing of 

changing demographics and 

boundary changes and of suss 

collaborators. ‘Liberals for 

Forests’? Do give me a break! 

The end result has been an entrenched, 

all but invisible local 

member of questionable competence 

with seemingly little 

interest in the issues close to 

the heart of her electorate. 

Who was the only local 

member who could not be 

found by the ABC to provide 

any sort of commentary on the 

recent budget? Who fobs off 

representations from individual 

constituents? Who sounds 

bored, tired and not across her 

brief when presenting policy 

changes? All a bit embarrassing, 

ol’ chum. 

But I have no brief for the 

other lot. Maybe it’s not too 

late for the local ALP dynamos 

to change horses. So, tell 

you what. Can we please do a 

swap with Janelle Saffin? Now 

there’s a committed, talented 

polly who knows what hard 

work and serving her community 

is all about. Come on, you 

faceless lot behind your closed 

doors. It’s just a little swap and 

the Lismore crowd won’t mind. 

You can do it!

Being heard 

I wish someone would have a 

polite word in Mayor Barham’s 

ear, or even a rude one. The key 

to ensuring good governance is 

to ask questions, ask questions 

and ask more questions. People 

also have a right to make 

submissions in person and it’s 

not good enough for Jan to 

say ‘it’s OK, we’ve read your 

written submissions’. Written 

submissions have less impact 

and the councillors need the 

opportunity to ask questions of 

the person making the submission: 

sometimes people are too 

close to the action to see the 

problems or holes in their presentation 

and the opportunity 

to expand on any particular 

point is important. 

Last year we had the spectacle 

of neighbours of the Blues 

Fest site being given one and a 

quarter minutes to voice their 

objections, ie an inflexible five 

minutes in total divided by 

the number of people making 

submissions, which in this case 

was four. Jan, this was a preposterous 

denial of due process. 

Each of those neighbours 

had a separate case and with 

different considerations and 

as a member of the public I 

would have liked to hear fully 

what each of them had to say. 

I am not privy to what written 

communication may have 

been sent, and probably nor is 

anyone else in the gallery. Do 

we not count? 

There is also the legal point 

that objectors could have a 

council decision overturned 

if a reasonable opportunity to 

make submissions was not given. 

This would result in costs to 

ratepayers funds. 

My main point though is that

Roundhouse message 

Who in Council is not listening 

to the people? The community 

has sent a very loud and clear 

message to the council: the 

Roundhouse site is not to be 

sold off to throw cash into the 

dwindling coffers of Council. 

Over 100 people representing 

several local community 

groups gathered on May 24 to 

unanimously recommend to 

Council to retain the hilltop for 

a future community cultural 

facility. 

Is the council financially embarrassed 

by the $20m blowout 

at Ewingsdale? Selling the 

Roundhouse site will not help 

short-term as Council would 

have to prepare the site by 

spending $1.2m for its subdivision 

and eventual sale in the 

longer term. 

Residents in the north are 

not happy that Council put 

this item on their agenda for 

next Thursday 24th without informing 

the community. Given 

the ire raised by ignoring local 

intentions for this land, you 

would think Council would 

have the courtesy to keep us in 

the loop regarding this – to us – 

precious piece of land. Clearly 

Council cheapens its worth to 

just cash for a fire sale. 

Next Thursday we need to 

pack the gallery at Council 

at 9am to let the Councillors

Ocean Shores 

Festering lagoon 

The lagoon extending across 

Main Beach Byron Bay is a 

festering mess. It is constantly 

being topped up with urban 

runoff. The formation of lagoons 

is a natural event. Filling 

them with urban detritus 

is very unnatural. 

The drain that tops up this 

lagoon with dog faeces and 

other waste was installed about 

1970. After sandmining had 

flattened the local ecosystem 

the council installed the drain. 

A ‘Green’ council would refuse 

this happening today. Therefore 

a ‘Green’ council should 

immediately shut this drain 

down and return the flow of 

water to the pre 1970 course. 

I contacted the mayor just 

before Christmas with my concerns. 

She responded that as 

a result of tests ‘the [lagoon] 

water was considered to be a 

public safety issue’ and that the 

lagoon was to be emptied. A 

good immediate response but 

soon it was back to a festering 

hole. 

Council has admitted that 

this lagoon can be a health issue. 

How often do they test the 

water quality ? 

A further response from 

Council in February 2010: 

‘Where children are allowed to 

play in such stagnating waters 

the primary responsibility remains 

with parents. Drowning 

is considered to be a far higher 

risk.’ Seems to be a frank admission 

that the council drain 

filling a lagoon is both a risk to 

health and makes the depth an 

increased risk of drowning. 

Where are the Council ‘No 

Swimming’ signs that were at 

the exit of the drain for many 

years. Perhaps having these 

in place would be an admission 

of liability. Tell that to the 

little children who are often 

continued overleaf

Defending Israel 

It is sad to read letters like the 

one from Gareth Smith and 

Maxine Caron (Echo, June 15), 

falsely accusing Israel of collectively 

punishing the people 

of Gaza. 

If that was Israel’s intention, 

it would not permit 14,000 

tons of food, clothing, medical 

supplies and other materials 

to be transported into Gaza 

from Israel every week. Nor 

would it allow thousands of 

Palestinians to enter Israel for 

treatment by Israeli doctors at 

Israeli hospitals. 

The blockade exists only because 

the Hamas rulers of Gaza 

have been caught red-handed 

time and again trying to smug- 

gle rockets, mortars and other 

weapons into Gaza. Over the 

years, Hamas has fired thousands 

of rockets and mortars 

into Israel, aimed deliberately 

and cynically at civilian population 

centres. Israelis get a 

warning of 15 seconds when 

this happens. 

The real issue about the 

blockade which gets lost in 

the swirl of emotions is how to 

deal with dual-use items such 

as concrete, piping and other 

building materials. In the past, 

Hamas has diverted such supplies 

away from the Palestinian 

civilians who genuinely need 

them and used them for its 

own nefarious purposes. 

No doubt Mr Smith and Ms 

Caron are sincere in wanting 

to help the civilians of Gaza, 

but blindly lashing out at Israel 

is not the answer. Experience 

demonstrates the need for Israel 

to monitor what enters 

Gaza. Other nations could help 

by working with Israel to set 

up a mechanism to verify the 

end-use of what is supplied to 

ensure that only non-military 

supplies get in and that they 

are used to benefit Palestinian 

civilians, and not to help Hamas 

launch another round of 

bloodshed.

Upon reading of the ‘statewide 

standard model planning requirements’ 

that the state 

government is attempting to 

impose on our shires, I am 

not surprised! The government 

can’t have a whole region 

holding biodiversity as 

their number one priority! 

This could seriously inhibit 

‘progress’, thus causing a threat 

to the economic vision they 

hold so dear. It seems every 

battle/argument in this area 

comes down to progress/economy/greed 

versus awareness. 

Which brings me to the 

situation here in Yamba. Mc- 

Donald’s is planning to set up a 

massive scale restaurant in our 

small coastal town. Although 

our opposition to this proposal 


Letters 

has been overwhelming, close 

to 4,000 signatures, 455 submissions 

to council, all saying 

‘no thank you’, the population 

being 5,514 our amalgamated 

council decided to vote 5-2 in 

favour of the DA. 

Now we just want you good 

people in Byron Shire to know 

that the nominated franchisee 

of the proposed ‘wholesome 

family restaurant’ who is also 

franchisee of the Ballina Mc- 

Donald’s, Scott Campbell, is 

living right there in Byron shire 

with you all. A shire that has 

successfully kept the area Mc- 

Donald’s free. 

So if anyone feels inclined 

to politely ‘enlighten’ him of 

a future that is necessary for 

us all, you would be doing us 

here in Yamba a real favour, 

and you can expect the red carpet 

when you visit. For further

More food for thought 

The Mullumbimby Farmers 

Market (MFM) committee 

and stallholders would like to 

thank the local community for 

supporting our new weekly 

market at the Showgrounds 

and in helping to establish a 

fabulous and colourful Mullum 

vibe. 

We were very ambitious 

starting up with 55 stalls and 

as we are just into our third 

month of operation we have 

yet to see how many stalls can 

be sustained by our weekly 

customer numbers, before we 

can begin to consider if expansion 

is viable. 

MFM is primarily a local 

farmers and local food product/food 

related market, set 

up by the North Byron Farmers 

Market association and 

community volunteers. We 

modified the existing New 

Brighton Farmers Market 

model to offer more choice to 

consumers while still retaining 

the emphasis on local food 

production. It was never the 

intention to allot more than 

a few stall spaces dedicated to 

snack foods and no food vans 

are allowed in. Existing stallholders 

are already offering a 

fairly wide range of breakfast 

snack foods beyond sushi and 

all ‘prepared’ foods need to be 

made with a high proportion 

of MFM stallholder produce. 

Local macadamia and bush 

food muesli with local yogurt 

will be coming soon as a conventional 

‘breakfast’ option. 

We have had enquiries and 

applications from many other 

local businesses who offer 

cooked and ‘prepared food’ 

and maybe this is a good 

moment for a local community 

group to organise a 

monthly night food market in 

Mullum? 

Then we could offer an outlet 

for all our inventive local 

food operators and give them 

the opportunity to sell their 

empanadas, Thai sweets, Chi- 

nese dumplings, Indian vegan, 

Indonesian treats etc and 

at the same time create a bit 

more of our special Mullum 

magic. I would love to see a 

new incarnation of ‘Mullum 

under the Stars’ with Burringbar 

Street closed for a few 

hours, tables in the street and 

local music.

Need drives community imperatives for animals and us 

Mary Gardner 

‘I never knew when I planted 

this tree 25 years ago that it 

could be a food tree for a koala,’ 

said my neighbour. He was so 

excited. Six of us joined him 

looking up into the eucalypt. 

Right in the heart of Byron Bay, 

a large koala was resting. It tilted 

its head and peered down at 

us. Evening made a silhouette 

of it against the darkening sky. 

Shortly, some of us were at 

another neighbour’s, having a 

cuppa and considering the significance 

of the event. A wandering 

koala is either on the 

typical search of the youngster 

for its own home territory or 

in exodus from some disaster 

which disrupted its orderly existence. 

In extremis, males or 

females may travel forty to fifty 

kilometres. 

Here in Northern Rivers, 

settled koalas are small groups 

faithful to a set of favourite 

food trees. At the heart are 

females sharing a dominant 

male. I would guess they are 

very likely also entertaining 

some of the other males on the 

periphery of their territory. 

We tried to imagine how the 

koala would get to the next 

food tree. Every other eucalypt 

was across a busy road and past 

dogs. And if it wasn’t looking 

for food, how might it pick its 

path towards, well, towards 

what? 

What else does a koala look 

for? What does every animal 

look for? Its necessities. Its community. 

And all of a quality that 

can sustain it over time. 

This is true of all of us animals, 

isn’t it? What we call 

society surely has at its heart 

biology in action. Much like 

koalas, humans require necessities, 

communities and 

sustainability. If that weren’t 

enough, we must also manage 

our consciousness full of words 

and images, numbers as well 

as all its careering emotions 

named and unnamed. 

The next day, I walk to the 

shops along a road that follows 

the edge of a paperbark 

swamp. Lorikeets squawk and 

crested doves look down from 

the lines overhead. I cross the 

railway tracks over to the emp-

ty market grounds. The swamp 

fans out behind. Somewhere in 

there is a colony of bats. 

The squealing gives them 

away. Overhead, the group 

numbers a dozen or two per 

tree over six or seven trees. 

There are always a few that flap 

about, shifting from one branch 

to another. They extend a wing 

and grip with their claw-like 

thumb. I am startled by how 

they look reaching with their 

winged arms as they clamber 

about. 

I hear that bats from our 

region and Queensland are 

on the move across Australia. 

They are desperate for food. 

Unusual rains washed out their 

favoured supplies of eucalypt 

blossoms, which are fewer in 

number anyway due to continued 

logging and clearing. The 

animals are impoverished, on 

the margins of society. They 

migrate, trying to help themselves. 

Reports I read on the 

internet say they are not quite 

welcome where they turn up. 

Necessities. Community. 

Sustainabillity. It’s all over the 

news. Refugees coming here 

from war-torn countries. The 

crisis in affordable housing. The 

state’s interests pushing skewed 

development, pressuring local 

councils, grasping at national 

parks and coastal floodplains. 

Power costs going up as the 

state commits to new coal 

burning plants. Local prospecting 

for oil? And always, there’s 

the climate changing. 

As importantly, on June 15, 

powerful international groups 

met in London to launch the 

new Manifesto from Sussex 

University. This public declaration 

by some of the world’s 

foremost economists insists that 

‘poverty reduction, social justice 

and environmental sustainability 

are the great moral and 

political imperatives of our age’. 

They scrutinise the agendas 

held by centres of power and 

research and find them very 

badly wanting. They insist that 

big science and technology, 

wielded by government and 

business, should work directly 

for common necessities, fair 

community and environmental 

sustainability. This can only 

be done by aligning with local

that, now revealed, Splendour’s 

innocuous sounding ‘smaller 

community events’ are likely to 

include an additional ongoing 

series of doofs. 

Duncan’s allegations of ‘no 

evidence’ of environmental 

impacts from forest doofs 

displays his ignorance of the 

known adverse environmental 

impacts, and displays his contempt 

for the known impact 

on residents. (The BEC adopted 

the position seven years ago 

to oppose forest doofs.) 

If tourist event numbers 

reach repeated waves 

of 30,000 in Byron, as they 

have in Splendour’s Woodford 

event, then we’ll have a brand 

new largest population centre 

in the Shire, in the middle of 

a wildlife corridor containing 

an abundance of Aboriginal 

cultural heratige sites! 

The music promoters would 

speak for the new majority 

of the Shire’s population, and 

residents’ funds would have 

to be used to service this new 

major ‘occasional’ population 

centre. 

The level of attendees’ disposable 

holiday income would 

further orientate the Shire’s retail 

and services to tourism, 

which further erodes the resi- 

dents’ connection and commitment 

to this place. The rest 

of the Shire would increasingly 

follow Byron Bay’s descent 

into a tourist trash town. 

The state government Splendour/Parklands 

permanent 

event site DA should be out on 

exhibition soon. Should the 

state government not reject 

this critical Splendour application, 

then I’d urge residents 

to put in submissions. 

The proposal coming to you 

from Splendour and Duncan

The naked truth 

I have just returned from 

Dreaming Festival and read 

The Echo. The article on biodiversity 

loss under state

A fairer tax on resources for

economy. 

Australia’s natural resources belong to all of us. Yet over the last ten years, while mining profi ts 

have increased, our share of those profi ts has actually fallen. 

It’s important to remember that these are resources that can’t be replaced once they’re gone. 

So we need to get fair value for them now, so that the wealth can be invested in our community. 

By increasing the tax on resource profi ts more can be invested in boosting superannuation, 

helping small business, and building new infrastructure. This will strengthen our economy for 

the future. 

These are big issues that affect us all, so it’s important to know the facts.

eral election I am advocating 

that state parliaments be 

abolished (saving $20 billion 

a year), empowering local and 

regional governance based 

on water catchment areas administering 

all infrastructure 

and public services, creation 

of a new Central Bank of the 

Commonwealth, with fixed 

interest, and a new tax system 

with just one tax. 

Something is very on the 

nose in our state and federal 

parliaments. No long term 

plan for Australia, just more 

government and opposition 

working against each other in 

a power struggle to hold a ma- 

jority in the parliament. 

I mentioned I went to the 

Dreaming. Well, a lot of the 

Elders and old people are not 

happy with our parliament’s 

disrespect of culture, the people’s 

needs, their law and their 

land. 

I suggest that Mr Rudd 

would be better off with Uncle 

Richard Brookdale, a 

Doomadgee Songman, as an 

advisor on all policy, and not 

the current senior advisor (31 

years old) he relies on. 

Oh yeah, I accept Mandy’s 

challenge. It’s been a few years 

(beers) since the ‘nude ain’t 

rude’ gathering, and yes, it is 

probably a thing that us Shire 

folk have had a bit of experience 

at. 

But Mandy, if we have to get 

naked at the StationStreet site, 

can we do it middle of the day, 

– not so chilly!

Planet Vegan 

I wholly agree with the letter 

from Rasa Dover (Echo, June 

15) about Mandy’s column and 

her recent Soapbox about ‘Vegans 

with a Beef ’. I too read 

the Soapbox first up then everything 

else. I often wonder 

what would we would do (as 

the Vegans would have it) if the 

whole planet turned Vegan. 

Besides the collapse of one of 

our primary industries, would 

we have to sterilise all our farm 

animals so that they would not 

reproduce any more, denying 

them the pleasure of mating? 

How cruel would that be? 

Or would we have to kill 

them all and bury them in 

mass graves? That seems very 

mean, too. Or would we have 

to keep them all until they died 

out? Who would pay for their 

feed? The poor farmer would 

have no income to feed them. 

Oh, I know, let them all go 

free and wild in the bush so 

that they can join their wild 

cousins and really tear up 

the ecological balance of our 

country! 

Then what about the poor 

African goat herder with out 

any goats or cattle to tend to? 

What could he do all day? Sit 

under a boabab tree and chase 

the flies out of his face? How 

would he get a wife with no 

animals to trade? 

What about the Inuit? His 

diet is 95 per cent meat, that 

poor bugger and his entire race 

would be extinguished in no 

time. 

I could go on and on about 

how animals are important to 

the lives of people across the 

planet whether we eat them or 

not. But to have everyone be 

Vegan would not be practical 

in any sense. So please if you 

are Vegan don’t expect others 

to think it is the best for 

everyone else because it is not. 

Unless you can come up with 

a better solution – please let 

me know!

Robert’s rules are not Sam’s, OK? 

The 10 rules of rock and roll: 

collected music writings 2005- 

09 by Robert Forster (Black Inc 

RRP $27.95) 

Sam Cutler 

I read Robert Forster’s The 10 

Rules of Rock and Roll: collected 

music writings 2005-09 with 

great interest, having spent a 

large part of my life down in 

the rock and roll ‘trenches’ of 

which he speaks. I welcome 

Forster’s reflections on music 

and the creative writing process 

as one welcomes the writings 

of prisoners on the experience 

of imprisonment: there 

simply is no substitute for genuine 

experience! Forster has 

tons of experience and comes 

across as a calm, dignified and 

unpretentious man who as a 

member of The Go Betweens 

produced some calm, dignified 

and unpretentious music, 

with several of his songs being 

achingly beautiful anthemic 

musings upon Australian life. 

He is undoubtedly a master of 

his craft. 

Forster’s writings on music 

possess the same stirring and 

uncomplicated ethereal quality 

which informs his songs 

and anyone who aspires to 

write contemporary pop music 

would do well to read this 

book. In reviewing the book 

I feel a little like a patient being 

asked to examine his own 

doctor, for though I was a tour 

manager and looked after famous 

musicians, I was never 

a performer as such. Nonetheless 

I can bring an ‘informed

perspective’ to the task, having 

witnessed the ‘creative process’ 

firsthand upon countless 

tours and in endless hotel 

rooms where only a guitar has 

saved several people I know 

from being driven terminally 

crazy. This is a great book and 

I heartily recommend it to all, 

and having said that I now feel 

comfortable in expressing my 

only reservations! 

The title The 10 Rules of 

Rock and Roll has a slightly 

naff whiff and I found myself 

wondering whether it was the 

erudite Robert Forster’s idea 

or whether it was created by 

the publishing house insisting 

upon a punchy title that would 

somehow make the book more 

readily marketable. The writing

has no need for such gimmicks. 

That being said I was intrigued 

by what the ten rules might be 

and read them with consternation, 

for in my opinion none of 

them (other than the first one) 

are rules as such, but rather 

they are Forster’s ‘observations’. 

In a spirit of friendly rock and 

roll camaraderie might I suggest 

the following as my own 

tried and true rules: 

1. There are no rock and roll 

rules that cannot be broken (albeit 

at considerable personal 

risk). 

2. Don’t play on a wet stage 

(you’re liable to get electrocuted). 

3. Never turn your lawyer or 

accountant onto drugs (they’ll 

want to become your friends). 

4. Don’t sleep with people in 

Fathers are a writers festival theme 

The theme of family lends itself 

to both fiction and non fiction 

genres and the 2010 Byron Bay 

Writers Festival program turns 

its gaze to the role of the father. 

On Sunday August 8, meet 

four writers who engage with 

the poignancy of fatherhood in 

very different ways. 

In indigenous writer Larissa 

Behrendt‘s novel, Legacy, the 

central character’s life in Syd- 

ney is defined by her complex 

relationship with her father 

Tony, an Aboriginal rights 

activist confronting his own 

truths. Kim Cheng Boey’s Between 

Stations segues silkily 

into a memory from the poet’s 

childhood and long walks with 

his father. 

David Carlin has given us 

Our Father Who Wasn’t There. 

When David was six months 

old, his father Brian suicided. It 

was the 1960s in Western Australia 

and suicide was a sin. 

Idol winner Damien Leith’s 

Remember June is a shattering 

novel about fathers and sons 

and the power of memory.

your band (it’s very difficult to

5. Don’t pay your equipment 

guys more than you pay the 

musicians (it causes resentment). 

6. Keep the band’s accounts 

impeccably straight and publish 

them quarterly (so everyone 

can see where the money 

went). 

7. Don’t do drugs and alcohol 

at the same time (life is 

short, you might make it even 

shorter).

temperament (it’s for amateurs). 

9. Don’t lose your mobile 

phone on tour (no explanation 

necessary). 

10. Never talk band business 

with civilians (they’re not 

equipped to understand). 

I hope Robert Forster will 

take what I have said with a 

good grace, for I loved his 

book and what he had to say. 

When I see him I look forward 

to a good argument about his 

choice of the top five bands of 

all time and we can have fun 

disputing the ten rock and roll 

rules. This is a wonderful book 

and I heartily recommend it.

increase in children’s

with 39 per cent of children

'As adults, we’re all very 

conscious of the traditional

'This study is a real

University of Melbourne 

principal investigator Dr 

Lisa Gibbs said, 'The flowon 

effect of this program 

is significant, with many 

children asking their 

parents to cook healthy 

meals they have made at 

school. 

'Since the program has 

been introduced, teachers 

are also seeing a noticeable 

difference in the nutritional 

quality of food that children 

had been bringing to school 

for snacks and lunches. 

'Another important finding 

was that the program was 

considered by teachers to 

be particularly effective in 

engaging "non-academic 

learners".' 

The program aims to 

expand further, and by 

2012, it is anticipated more 

than 250 schools around 

Australia will be part of

MAKE MONEY OFF YOUR ROOF WITH SOLAR 

Solar electricity is now a sound fi nancial investment 

as well as an investment in the future of our planet 

thanks to a number of fantastic incentives. 

The new solar electricity rebate or “Solar Credits 

Scheme” is now open to everyone including 

businesses. It represents thousands of dollars towards 

the initial cost of your system which SolarSwitch offers 

as a generous point of sale discount. 

NSW now also has the most generous solar 

buy-back scheme in the country. Anyone with 

a solar electricity system under 10kW will get 

paid at least 60c per kilowatt hour, almost four 

times the retail rate, for all the electricity their 

panels generate. For example someone with an 

average 1.5kW home solar electricity system 

would get credited $1300 - $1500 per year for 

the electricity their system produces. This means 

your investment pays for itself in less than four 

years and then makes you thousands of dollars 

over the next 20 plus years. The scheme will 

be reviewed by the State Government after 

the fi rst 50 Megawatts are installed in NSW or 

July 2012, whichever comes fi rst, so now is the

cleaning as the wind 

blows the leaves off the 

leafguard. 

The product developer, 

Ron Lienert says, ‘I saw 

a need for an effective 

leafguard. Its unique 

design stops leaves laying 

flat and also circulates air 

to blow the leaves away, 

eliminating cleaning 

problems and reducing 

fire hazards.’ 

When the leafguard is 

in place it cannot be 

seen from the ground, 

so it does not ruin the 

appearance of your roof. 

Allclear Leafguard is 

recognised as the superior 

leafguard on the market.

advantage of this generous incentive. 

As this is a 25 year investment in your home or 

business it is important to buy quality equipment 

backed by a reputable multi-national company 

with offi ces in Australia, so the warranty is held 

here. Also ensure your system is installed by 

a qualifi ed Clean Energy Council accredited 

electrician, and they are on site the entire time. 

Having installed over 2500 solar electricity 

systems in NSW SolarSwitch has the knowledge, 

expertise and dedicated staff to carry out your 

installation in a timely and professional manner. 

“We pride ourselves on installing quality equipment 

sourced from reputable manufacturers that will 

be around to honour your 25 year manufacturer’s 

warranty… this is a lifetime investment after all” 

said Adam Tesoriero, Director of SolarSwitch.

Break out the beanies, the 

Lismore Lantern Parade is 

almost here. When the lanterns 

hit the streets on Saturday 

26 it will mark 17 years of 

lighting the way with a unique 

community event without a 

peer. 

This annual event is a visual 

feast of larger than life lanterns, 

illuminated sculptures, masks, 

costumes, parade performers, 

dancers and drummers, all 

winding their way through 

Lismore in a carnival style 

street parade. 

The event is produced by 

LightnUp Inc, a Lismore based 

community enterprise. This 

year’s theme is ‘The Seeds of 

Tomorrow…’ Festival Director 

Jyllie Jackson caught up with 

The Echo. 

So what inspired you to 

create the Lantern Parade? 

It’s a way for the community 

to honour the cycles of the 

seasons in an authentic, 

contemporary celebration. It’s 

also a way to enliven the heart 

of the City of Lismore. 

What are the challenges that 

you face with your event? 

Resources, money. It is a free 

event, with a beautiful and 

strong culture of volunteering, 

however, the production 

values, expectations and the 

requirements of producing an 

event of this size are expensive. 

It is also important to value 

the artists and performers who 

make this festival so amazing, 

they are professionals and 

should be recompensed just as 

much as the sound guy or the 

printer. We rely on enormous 

goodwill from sponsors and 

supporters, as well as the 

artists. It is quite exhausting to 

keep on having to ask for stuff, 

but by the same token it is a 

wonderful feeling to receive 

Sunday 27 

THE BREAK 

such love and support from so 

many parts of the community. 

How does the LP bring 

community together? 

The parades are exciting and 

beautiful and fun. The glow of 

the lanterns removes barriers 

and people who may not 

necessarily have any reason to 

speak or even see each other 

on a day to day basis find 

themselves walking/talking 

together in the gentle light of 

the lanterns and there is the 

warmth of community. 

I also think that there is a 

yearning in society/community 

to BE together, to huddle and 

cuddle and feel humanity. 

We spend so much time in 

screen digital based activities 

to come out in the chilly night 

air, to smell the burning of the 

bonfire, see the beauty of the 

lanterns has a profound effect 

on people. 

It is also something that 

has been a part of so many 

children’s entire lives, a 

generational ritual, that many 

would not miss for anything! 

Finally, it is accessible to all 

levels of community from 

People with Disabilities, 

to corporate bankers, preschoolers 

to 90 year old great 

grandmothers! 

What’s the process for 

the lanterns? Drawings, 

then frames… is it time 

consuming? 

Yes it is time consuming. We 

are constantly developing and 

refining the process, which is 

very exciting. When I look at 

our very old lanterns – they are 

so clumsy and rough, and then 

see the first lanterns of the 

trainees in the shed now, they 

are magnificent and leave our 

old lanterns for dead!! We use 

a cane called pahang, bamboo, 

wire, paper or silk. 

Who actually makes the 

lanterns? 

All sorts of people, trained artists, 

people on unemployment 

programs, volunteers and our 

core team of artists who work 

here all year round. 

What should we be expecting 

for this year's event? What 

are the particular highlights 

of things to do and see… is it 

affordable for a family? 

Lots of really wonderful new 

lanterns – The Tree of Souls, 

kangaroo, possum, pelican 

zebra… some old favourites 

all smartened up! More music 

– ‘the PA’s in Pushers’, The 

fabulous Roller Derby Girls and 

the Zumba Dancers. 

The beautiful Illuminated 

Sculpture Garden, in Riverside 

Park, where you can look at the 

lanterns up close and personal! 

And of course the fantastic 

Southern Cross University 

Stage featuring the Barons of 

Tang. There will be the Erth 

Dinosaurs wandering the CBD. 

The Kids Arts Space where 

children can make magical Art 

from nature, decorate lanterns, 

get face painted and explore 

and play in the Great Worm. 

Oh and the pony rides and 

the horse and cart leading the 

parade… and then of course 

there’s the parade itself and the 

finale!

I SWEAR... 

(WARNING: 15+ May contain coarse 

language and sexual references) 

Queensland revisited its 

draconian past last week when 

the prudish Captain Bligh 

handed the state’s police the 

power to issue on the spot 

fines for swearing in public. 

People like me could be 

bankrupted in just ten minutes. 

I am a standup comedian, I get 

paid to swear. 

For too long, swearing has 

been demonised as uncouth 

and inappropriate. But it’s 

better than rescue remedy. 

There’s nothing like a good 

swear to let off a bit of steam. 

It’s the ultimate stress relief. 

Who hasn’t been stuck in 

roadworks on the way to 

an important meeting and 

employed the mantra ‘shit shit 

shit shit shit’. 

It seems ironic that in 

Queensland, the state with the 

cLIVE 

MUSICd 

Taking A Break 

The Break is a union that 

will delight music fans, surf 

rats, and festival goers alike. 

Midnight Oil’s Rob Hirst, Jim 

Moginie and Martin Rotsey 

have joined with bass player 

Brian Ritchie of Violent Femmes 

to form a new surf rock band 

called The Break. Expect driving 

worst drivers, it’s now illegal 

to use the words required to 

describe them adequately. 

Next time you get cut off by a 

slow driver in the fast lane, you 

won’t be able to use only word 

capable of doing them justice: 

‘Wanker!’ 

Cuss words have been part 

of our language since time 

began. You think that after 

four hours of trying to start a 

fire with a few bits of damp 

kindling in his stinky fricking 

shithole of a cave that our 

prehistoric ancestor didn’t just 

hold his hairy hands in the air 

and declare ‘Get fucked!’ Sorry 

Mr Cave dude, if your cave is in 

Queensland, then you’ve just 

lost $100. 

It’s like pulling a dodgy Chance 

card in a game of Monopoly. 

This is the ultimate in state 

revenue raising – if it’s not 

enough to have speed cameras 

in every orifice, now we’re 

having our heads monitored 

as well. 

I not only defend the right to 

swear, I believe that we don’t 

swear enough. Children should 

be punished for not swearing. 

‘I’m very worried about Johnny, 

he’s just not swearing like a boy 

should at his age. I think we 

may have to medicate… with 

beer.’ 

Swearing is the way we 

repressed, unevolved human 

beings emote. And replacing 

guitars and a pounding 

back beat synonymous with 

both the surf rock genre 

and the classic Oils sound. 

Throwing lyrics out the 

window the new band has 

written 15 great tracks that 

push the boundaries within 

the traditional framework of 

the surf music genre: guitars, 

drums, bass, and keyboards. 

They’ve found common 

ground in a range of obscure 

musical influences. The sound 

created is fresh, exciting and 

cutting edge, it’s a brilliant 

fusion of surf guitar rock but 

with a modern bend – and

swearing with words like 

‘Sugar’ just doesn’t cut it. 

Sugar is the cause of obesity, 

diabetes, cancer and death, 

where as fucking causes life. 

Then why isn’t it illegal to say 

‘sugar’? Swearing needs to 

become part of our every day 

interactions. There should be 

swearing at weddings: ‘Do 

you take this cockhead to be 

your…, swearing in the bank: 

‘$2.50 to withdraw my own 

money, that’s ffing bullshit.’, 

and swearing at funerals: ’Brian 

was a stupid cunt. But we loved 

him.’ 

Children should be taught 

to swear so they can do it 

safely. Queensland’s antiswear 

laws are dangerous. It’s 

going to force swearing to go 

underground. People will start 

making up words themselves 

in backyard laboratories. Kids 

will be using hydroponic swear 

words and we won’t be able to 

tell if they’re pure or not. There 

will be a lot more swearing 

related deaths and hospital 

admissions, and rather than the 

laws killing off swearing, they 

will create a huge black market. 

People will start smuggling 

swear words in from overseas 

up their bums, or they’ll wrap 

them in condoms and poo 

them out later. 

Let’s not ban swearing. Let’s 

make it competitive. What 

about a sport that Wazza

from Penrith could actually 

win? Imagine the Olympics, 

with three of our flanelette 

wearing bogans taking out 

gold, silver and bronze for the 

blasphemathon. Let’s make 

swearing creative. For too 

long we’ve been lazy with our 

swearing and called people 

arseholes or dickheads or 

wankers. It’s just not good 

enough. If someone is going 

to insult you with something 

offensive, it should at least be 

original. 

Let’s really start to mix it up. 

You can make your own swear 

words. The trick is to put a 

body part with an action or an 

animal. It’s that simple. There’s 

penis eater, wiener wipe, clit 

diddler, scrotum plug, granny 

packer, sack monkey, nut flaps, 

scum chomper, rectum lips… 

So here’s the idea I’m floating 

with, Anna Muff Fungus Bligh. 

If you get done swearing 

in public and it’s boring, 

unoriginal abusive language 

then it’s $100. But, if you get 

caught using a unique and 

unused term of abuse then I 

reckon you should win $100. 

Give the cops a score card. 

It will encourage people to 

lift their game. On the spot 

fines for swearing? Fuck off.

Queensland, will cost me

Cartel 

If Carlos Santana had been 

hanging out in Iraq for the 

last ten years then he would 

have to sound something like 

the Gold Coast’s own Tijuana 

Cartel. Their performances are 

a concoction of multi-layered 

grooves, splashes of Middle 

Eastern vocals, lilting Mobyesque 

soundscapes, Flamenco 

and slide guitar, trumpet, 

Electronic world beats and 

live Latin Cuban Percussion. 

A fusion of infectious music 

and phat electronic dance 

beats. Their musical energy 

and unrestrained delivery is 

thrilling audiences wherever 

they perform. Their tunes 

meander their way across the 

bumpiest musical terrain, a 

rhythmic body moved with 

stately deliberation creating 

inspiring and infectious 

rhythms that you just cannot 

help but dance to. They are 

joined by sumptuous support 

act, Deya Dova. Saturday at 

the Bangalow A&I Hall. Show

Jack Folk 

The June Folk Club is on this 

Wednesday June 23 at the Old 

Drill Hall. Remember, doors 

open at 7pm and if you want 

to get on the chalkboard 

be sure to get there early. 

Featured artist is M Jack Bee. 

When he released his EP I 

Don’t Want To Fight You, he 

got some great support with 

the likes of Old Man River 

and Washington jumping on 

board to open shows in Sydney 

and Melbourne. A year on, a 

hundred shows later, he returns 

to the Folk Club, the place he 

first tried his new sound in his 

new home as a chalkboard 

artist almost two years ago. 

Falling in his lap 

Kieran Glasgow hails from 

Cessnock and brings his 15 

years experience as a musician 

to the stage on Saturday 

at the Bangalow Hotel and 

Monday at the Rails. Kieran 

was a featured vocalist on the 

Australian feature film Em 4 

Jay and has also featured on 

a compilation CD of poetry, 

songs and storytelling from 

disadvantaged people from 

Sydney’s inner west. Catch 

his soulful and sublime voice, 

accompanied by lapsteel and 

foot percussion.

Access to Awesome Comedy 

It’s not every day that Ashton 

Kutcher tweets about how 

funny your YouTube clip is. 

That’s just what happened for 

Axis of Awesome and their ‘4 

Chord Song’ about 12 months 

ago, and their clip went viral. 

Their have now had over ten 

million views combined. 

The Axis consist of Jordan 

Raskopoulos, Benny Davis and 

Lee Naimo. Jordan spoke with 

The Echo on the eve of their 

upcoming show at the Byron 

Service’s Club, Pandanus 

Lounge on Monday. 

The boys got a kickstart back 

in 2008 when they played 

Edinburgh. 

‘We were fortunate that 

BBC Radio 1 saw the show 

and grabbed the album and 

started playing ‘4 Chord Song’ 

– it got forwarded to friends, 

who forwarded it to friends… 

and so on...’ 

As for understanding the 

phenonemon, Jordan is 

philosophical. 

‘It’s one of those things, you 

have to get the pebble rolling 

down the mountain.’ 

Axis started out at Sydney 

Uni, where they still share a 

rehearsal space. 

‘Lee and I have been 

improvising together for seven 

or eight years, our background 

is in Theatresports, his 

background is mainly 

musical – we find that we 

can improvise on stage really 

well because we have been 

working together for so long. 

Jordan is also a standup 

comic so he knows the 

difference in working as a 

musical comedy act. 

‘You have to prepare a lot 

more than standup – you need 

to practise and rehearse before 

you get up, in standup you 

can have an idea on the way 

to the gig in the car and think, 

oh I’ll give that a run tonight. 

With us the censoring process 

exists between the three of us, 

we get excited about an idea, 

we work it, and then it gets on 

stage.’ 

Media has been raving 

about the group, with 

The Age stating: ‘Their 

musical lampoons really hit 

the mark… they had the 

audience in stitches, hooting 

for an encore – 4 stars’. 

Axis just took out Best 

Australian Act at the Sydney 

Comedy Festival. 

‘It’s nice to be awarded for 

the work that you are doing 

certainly. Although now we 

are now preparing for our new 

show in August in Edingburgh’. 

The boys are also playing 

Montreal Comedy Festival. 

They’ve been working new 

songs, and polishing up the 

gems. Expect a whole lot 

of laughs in a very special 

pre-Edinburgh show at the 

Byron Services Club, Pandanus 

Lounge on Monday. Support is 

Paul McMahon. Cost is $20/25. 

Tix at the club or booked on 

6684 3443.

26 June 22, 2010 The Byron Shire Echo www.echo.net.au

The Scarlett School 

Scarlett Affection’s Nerida and 

Melia Naughton bring their 

talents to the stage alongside 

the students they have been 

mentoring as part of The 

Scarlett School. The girls 

chatted with The Echo in the lead 

up to their gig at Newrybar Hall 

on Thursday. 

Haven’t heard from you for 

ages, what have you been up to? 

N: Well one of us decided to 

get married – so there were 

countless hours spent on the 

wedding plans! 

M: Ha! Actually we have been 

squirrelling away writing, 

creating and teaching! 

Do you make a conscious 

choice not to play many gigs in 

the local area? 

N: Our last local concert was 

when we supported Clare 

Bowditch at the A & I Hall which 

was a really special night. 

M: Our Real, Raw and Regional 

Tour took in some very remote 

parts of NSW and that was a 

big eye opener – we met some 

extraordinary people and had 

some amazing audiences. 

But when we play locally, we 

love it – it’s always an exciting 

proposition to play a hometown 

show! 

Are you constantly making 

music? 

N: We hit dry patches like 

everyone else – but lately we 

have really hit a creative nerve 

and can’t seem to stop playing 

with ideas. 

Tell me about the Scarlett 

School? 

N: It is our Contemporary Music 

School that endeavours to 

inspire through performance, 

songwriting, piano, flute and 

guitar. Our students play what 

they WANT to play! 

M: There is a world of music 

out there and everyone has 

their own taste which is so 

invigorating. We construct an 

individually tailored curriculum 

for each student. We firmly 

believe technique and a 

theoretical understanding gives 

a solid foundation for creating 

and playing music – but above 

and beyond all else – it has to be 

fun! Our goal is to inspire every 

single student. 

N: We believe that by teaching 

our students to play the music 

they LOVE, not only will they love 

what they are learning but they 

will also enjoy what we believe 

to be the lifelong gift of music. 

What do you try and bring out 

in your students? 

M: Inspiration. Fun. Humour. 

Confidence. Skill and enthusiasm. 

N: A love of music. Laughter and 

song. 

How does teaching influence 

what you bring to your own 

songwriting/performance? 

M: We are always inspired by our 

students and their creativity. It’s 

a wonderful interaction to share 

ideas. 

N: Teaching makes us want 

to keep performing, continue 

creating and see the joy in the 

craft! Our students are incredibly 

talented individuals who inspire 

us! It has brought a whole new 

layer to our songwriting. 

Do you think that performance 

can be taught… is it 

something people just have , 

or is it a practised skill? 

N: I believe that everybody 

has performance skills. You 

need them to get through life. 

Without even realising it, you 

are performing every day in just 

about every interaction you have 

with people. Stage performance 

is just a heightened level of 

performance – and is absolutely 

practised through the simple act 

of performing. 

M: Some people have an innate 

understanding of performance 

and they find it thrilling – others 

grow to feel more comfortable 

with it. At first, it can seem 

terrifying but with practice 

and guidance, it can be hugely 

satisfying. 

Are you working on a new 

album? 

M: Yes! We are and it’s really 

exciting. 

N: The album has shifted our 

sound and I really believe that 

we have found our ‘sound’. 

I suppose songwriting is a 

practised craft – and this album 

needed us to practise a lot! 

Will we be seeing more of 

Nerida and Melia on the music 

scene in the next 12 months? 

M: Yes we certainly hope so! 

N: Absolutely! Not only will you 

see more of Scarlett Affection 

but also our students!

Outrageous Fortune. Aaron 

Jeffery is coming to the Byron

Circus Showcase 

Friends of the Circus and 

Circus Arts Byron Bay are 

having a huge half yearly 

showcase spectacular on 

Thursday featuring Circus Arts 

talented Performance Troupe. 

Audiences will be amazed at 

new performances developed 

by the students on doubles 

trapeze, silks and lyra as well as

on the high flying trapeze 

without the safety lines. Show 

at 7pm and it’s free! 

Mum’s Your Uncle 

Vanya 

Anton Chekhov’s plays are very 

much about characters who, 

while they may think globally, 

are unable to act locally and 

so fail to grab the opportunity 

to find happiness and fulfillment 

in their lives when it 

arises. The Drill Hall Theatre 

Company, on the other hand, 

is providing the opportunity 

for eight actors and a crew 

of four to ‘act locally’ in their 

next production, Chekhov’s 

Uncle Vanya. Director Mike 

Russo believes that community 

theatre is about generosity 

and contribution and is a 

great cultural focus for a 

country town like Mullum. 

With so many entertainment 

options for people these days, 

community theatre must 

reach a high standard so that 

audiences not only enjoy the 

experience but develop their 

love of live theatre. ‘With this 

production we have already 

reached that standard and still 

have ten days before we open 

to make this play even funnier 

and more moving,’ says Mike. 

Uncle Vanya opens at the Drill 

Hall on Friday and runs for 

three weekends; Fridays and 

Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays 

at 5pm. Tickets at $15, $12 & 

$10 are available from The 

Bookshop, Mullum and Mary 

Ryan’s Bookshop, Byron Bay or 

by phoning 6684 1413. 

Erth’s Dinosaur 

Erth’s Dinosaur Petting Zoo 

is a unique show which allows 

heaps of interaction for kids 

and adults while they travel 

with the erth performers on 

a journey through prehistoric 

Australian history via an 

amazing selection of dinosaurs 

and creatures that inhabited 

our land millions of years ago. 

Children will have the chance 

to feed, water and care for 

these prehistoric marvels 

with some simple lessons in 

animal husbandry. Lismore 

City Hall on Friday at 6.30pm 

and Saturday at 3.30pm. 

Tickets: A$18, C$14 adults 

accompanying kids at kids 

prices. 

Ocean Retrospective 

For a regional area, the 

Byron Shire is so blessed 

with strikingly original and 

multi-talented music and 

visual artists. In relishing our 

good cultural fortune don’t 

miss out on the fascinating 

retrospective of paintings by 

local eco-architect Arion Ocean 

which has been showing at 

‘Bangalow Rose’ florist, and is

more week. A percentage of

to attend Idyllwild Performing 

Arts School in California. 

The Gruffalo @ Byron

The Gruffalo is one of the 

most popular story books 

in the world. Christine 

Dunstan Productions has 

reproduced the original 

London production by Tall

Television Guide 

1. Richard Cetrone plays Big Daddy Mars, as one does, in 

the much overrated John Carpenter’s Ghosts Of Mars 

(GO!, Friday, 11.30pm), a bit of horror schlock with which 

to while away the dead hours. 

2. Shrek The Third (NBN, Saturday, 7.30pm) has risen 

from the vault because Shrek 4 is now out. Read John 

Campbell’s review on the Cinema page. 

3. The wonderful Charles Dickens continues to provide 

a rich harvest of characters for Britain’s superb character 

actors in the series Little Dorrit (ABC1, Sunday, 8.35pm). 

This was back in the days when people knew how to use 

the language as a means of communication.

‘How To Stop & Repair Autism Spectrum 

Disorders Without Drugs’ 

Information Session by Michael Sichel ND DO PhD. 

Michael Sichel ND DO PhD (in Health Education) has been an osteopath and 

naturopath for 40 years. He is a founding member of the MINDD Foundation 

– whose doctors deal with autism spectrum disorders. MINDD holds an 

International Conference in Sydney in May, annually. 

Michael lectures to many parents and teachers at schools and universities and 

his treatment and restoration of ASD children is his passion and joy. 

He has written four books on ASD children, one is now in its updated Third 

Edition. “Good News for the Alphabet Kids” has been described by several 

parents as a healing ‘bible’. It is used now successfully by nearly two 

thousand parents. 

Michael’s fi rst ASD family was in 1992 (two boys, reversed their problems in one week!). Unfortunately 

the restoration process since 2000 has become signifi cantly more diffi cult. In 2003 - 2004 to deal with 

this, Michael began to introduce the important and highly successful non-invasive natural chelation and 

function restoring process for children in the autism spectrum community. 

Speech for General Public on Friday 25th June.

cCINEMAREVIEWSd 

Lou 

When speaking of a new 

Australian release, how often 

do year hear reviewers say, 

with the most honourable 

intentions, that it is a terrific 

‘little’ film? The epithet (used in 

reference to Belinda Chayko’s 

current movie by David and 

Margaret, Sandra Hall of the 

SMH and I’ll bet plenty of 

others) acts as a qualifier that, 

intentionally or otherwise, 

warns the viewer not to expect 

too much because, after all, 

it is Australian. Repeated ad 

nauseam, it has resulted in the 

local industry’s acquiescence 

to a worthiness that is as 

genuine as it is risk-free and 

ephemeral. Unquestionably, 

this is an excellent little film 

which is held together by 

the expert contribution of a 

seasoned, insightful veteran 

(John Hurt) and a stunning 

performance from newcomer, 

Lily Bell-Tindley. Doing it tough 

as a single mother raising three 

young girls in the cane fields 

of northern NSW, Rhia (Emily 

Barclay) takes Alzheimer’s 

stricken Doyle (John Hurt) in 

to her home, hoping to make 

ends meet with the money 

she will be paid as his carer. 

Of her daughters, Leanne, 

Lani and Lou (Bell-Tindley), it 

is the eldest, eleven year-old 

Lou, who is most put out. Her 

bonding with Doyle and her 

awakening to the meaning of 

love become the story’s focus. 

I kept waiting for something 

to happen, but when I realized 

that nothing was going to, 

other than the obvious, I was 

able to relax and appreciate 

the tenderness and depth 

of understanding that grew 

between a not immediately 

likeable child and a codger 

who had, in his own words, 

‘lost his marbles’. Bell-Tindley’s 

mesmerizing beauty alone is 

enough to carry the day, and 

it’s just as well, for you get an 

inordinate number of closeups 

of her gazing wistfully, 

thoughtfully, sadly etc at 

events as they (very) slowly 

unfold. Real life sisters Charlie- 

Rose and Eloise MacLennan 

provide sparkling naturalness 

but Emily Barclay is all at sea 

in the perfunctorily written 

part of Lou’s mother. There 

is splendid support from 

Jay Ryan as Rhia’s boyfriend 

Cosmo, and Jonathan Segat 

as the paperboy, whose crush 

on Lou is sweetly observed 

– them spiking their drinks 

at a barbecue is a delightful 

scene. Except for that gorgeous 

Maori lament, ‘Pokearekare 

Ana’, the music generally 

sounds budget conscious (a 

given in ‘little’ Australian films) 

and, though the location 

shots are evocative, the area’s 

dripping heat and blinding 

summer light (it is meant, 

for no essential reason, to be 

Christmas), are lost to a drab 

winteriness that drains the 

piece of much of its warmth. 

~ John Campbell 

Shrek Forever After 

I make no bones about it; I’ve 

been a Shrek fan since first 

encountering the green ogre 

in 2001 and remain convinced 

that he is as believable as 

any flesh and blood screen 

character. Nonetheless, I am 

prepared to concede that the 

two sequels weren’t up to the 

original’s standard and the 

prospect of a fourth outing 

for the big fella falling into 

the ‘why did they bother?’ 

basket loomed large. 3D 

has revitalized the series 

(although this is ostensibly 

the last instalment), but so 

too has a screenplay that 

is complex and moralistic. 

Unexpectedly (and weirdly 

for a cartoon), it commences 

with a series of flashbacks

which, in re-writing its own 

history, reveal that at the time 

of Shrek’s initial liberation of 

Fiona from her entrapment, 

the villainous Rumplestiltskin 

was already plotting his fall. 

It’s a complicated twist but 

you get the gist of it pretty 

quickly as the story pursues 

its perennially relevant theme. 

Most famously dealt with in 

Frank Kapra’s It’s Wonderful 

Life and sung about by Joni 

Mitchell (‘you don’t know what 

you’ve got till it’s gone’), Shrek 

is bugged by the question of 

‘what if?’ Knowing of his angst 

ridden need to be free of the 

daily frustrations as husband 

and father of a demanding 

young family, Rumplstiltskin 

draws up a Faustian contract 

that will land Shrek in a parallel 

existence in which he is 

homeless and not recognized 

by his beloved Fiona. In this 

strange place, Fiona (who still 

looks like Kim Clijsters) is a 

warrior princess leading the 

outsider ogres in their rebellion 

against Rumplestiltskin and 

his supporters, a coven of 

fantastic black-clad, broom 

riding witches. More fat Xena 

than muscular Boudicca, Fiona 

is unique in the annals of great 

heroines in that, unlike the 

scrawny role models of Sex and 

the City et al, she is unashamed 

of her size eighteen bodice. 

But sadly for Shrek, she doesn’t 

know who he really is (i.e., 

her husband), and will not 

know until he has pashed-off 

with her. Donkey, whom I’ve 

always enjoyed (Eddie Murphy 

kills me), is as effervescent, 

cowardly and wisecracking as 

ever, but coming to the fore 

this time around is Antonio 

Banderas’s Puss in Boots. 

Overweight and idle, he does 

a great begging routine and, 

when caught eating one of the 

gingerbread men, delivers a 

priceless ‘you didn’t want any 

of this, did you?’ Shrek IV is 

more serious in intent than its 

predecessors, but the wit is as 

sharp, the personalities as true 

and the animation an absolute 

treat. 

~ John Campbell 

production design, as the 

filmmakers create a convincing, 

raw, unjust and dangerous 

world – England as it might 

have been almost 1,000 

years ago. The battle scenes 

are muddy and bloody, 

the artefacts of ancient 

warfare a fascinating study 

of man’s ingenuity when it 

comes to killing machines, 

and the sounds of battle 

help make these scenes a 

visceral experience. Balancing 

these ‘epic’ aspects are the 

profoundly human issues that 

are woven through the story, 

how a young Robin saw his 

father and his world, how Kings 

were flawed and how valuable 

personal freedoms are, 

especially when threatened. 

Russell Crowe is convincing in 

this brooding, intense portrayal 

of a man thrust into the pages 

of history. Cate Blanchett 

creates a powerful portrait of 

a proud, gutsy and resourceful 

Marion, whose no-nonsense 

shell hides a genuinely warm 

heart. Both leads delve 

deep into their characters 

for resonant and satisfying 

performances.

Robin Hood 

This film, directed by Ridley 

Scott and starring Russell 

Crowe (famous for their 

collaboration in Gladiator) 

explores how the legend 

of Robin Hood might have 

begun. And what a beginning 

– the attention to detail 

is extraordinary, from the 

dialogue and the storyline 

to the myriad elements in 

‘Stunning... compelling... 

a fi lm that has to be seen.’

WITH LILITH 

ARIES: This week’s erratic 

emotions need resourceful 

handling and you’re in just the 

capable mood to do it. But you’ll 

still need to think moderate and 

measured and take one step at 

a time, and only proceed when 

you’re ready, steady, sure and 

certain. 

TAURUS: If you feel like 

just sleeping, eating and 

hibernating, this week says 

follow your instincts. A holiday 

for the body, perfume for the 

spirit, fresh flowers for the soul 

or beef and tequila for the libido 

– whatever you choose will be 

this week’s best medicine. 

GEMINI: Look for the positive 

spin on this week’s unexpected 

upsets and destabilizing 

surprises because you know bad 

news is always accompanied 

by lucky breaks. With everyone 

going through their changes 

this week won’t be entirely 

stress free, but remember you’re 

not the old you any more either. 

The Queen’s Birthday weekend is 

the time for Grand Prix tournaments 

– in Sydney, Melbourne, 

Adelaide and Burnie. 

Australia’s top players were 

divided almost evenly between the 

Victorian and NSW Opens, with 

five members of Australia’s 2010 

Olympic team using the events 

in Sydney and Melbourne to 

tune up for the Khanty Mansiysk 

Olympiad in September. 

In Sydney, Australian Champion 

Zhao Zong Yuan triumphed 

and moved to within striking distance 

of George Xie in the race 

for the 2010 Grand Prix title. 

However the Australian number 

one’s victory at the NSW Open 

was anything but convincing and 

Zhao stood on the verge of defeat 

against Canberra’s Gareth Oliver 

in the penultimate round. 

In the diagrammed position, 

right, Oliver, playing White, just 

needed to find 29.Bg3! Qxa2 

30.Ra4 Qb2 31.Rb1 and he would 

have won Zhao’s queen, the game 

and possibly the tournament. 

Instead Oliver played 29.R4c2, 

let his advantage slip and lost.

hearth and the art of living 

shine brightest this week… 

CANCER: As this week’s Sun/ 

Mercury skitter into Cancer 

we wish the Crab clan happy 

birthday. And as you enter your 

month of personal renewal you 

might find the Hawaiian way 

of dealing with drama useful 

–allow it undivided attention 

for three minutes max, then 

everybody moves on… 

LEO: Even Venus in Leo can’t 

make this a promising week 

for extending debt or credit, 

so focus on making positive 

contributions to domestic 

dynamics. Others may be 

unavailable or unreliable so 

you’ll have to make your own 

fun – but hey, isn’t that your 

forte? 

VIRGO: Winter solstice is the 

perfect (your fave word) time for 

taking stock of the last twelve 

months (what you did well, 

what you didn’t), then giving it 

all a big hug and kissing it off, 

because the quicker you let go 

the faster you’ll move forward.

White to play and win 

Thereafter Zhao needed only a 

draw in the final round to take 

the title and the $1,400 first prize 

ahead of the second and third 

seeds, Xie and Gary Lane. 

While in Sydney many of 

the top seeds struggled in the 

early rounds but had reasserted 

their supremacy by the finish, in 

Melbourne the reverse applied. 

Top seed David Smerdon led 

the event until the final game, 

when a draw against Melbourne 

teenager Chris Wallis left the 

ACT Grandmaster half a point 

behind two impressive winners 

– 12-year-old Bobby Cheng and 

veteran Eric Teichmann. 

Both the winners drew with 

Smerdon from a position of 

strength but Cheng, the reigning 

World U/12 Champion, also had 

the satisfaction of overwhelming 

third seed Igor Goldenberg in a 

dramatic final round. 

While Australia currently has 

many talented juniors, Cheng 

appears to be the real deal, and if 

his current rate of improvement 

continues he could well become 

Australia’s youngest Olympian in 

2012. 

Cheng’s next test will be at the 

George Trundle IM tournament 

in Auckland in July, an event 

where he has replaced his coach, 

Grandmaster Darryl Johansen, in 

the invitation-only field. 

� The NSW Open also featured a 

secondary event where four play- 

ers tied for first. The following 

game saw one of them, Matthew 

Bennett (ACT), overwhelm Axel 

Stahnke (Qld) in the last round. 

But another Queenslander, Mark 

Stokes, shared in the tie for first 

prize.

LIBRA: If someone’s moods 

have you puzzled get used to 

it because the next few weeks 

take a trip to Mood City. Should 

this spark friction at home with 

visitors or a family member, 

remember home is ultimately 

your state of mind – your own 

interior place of peace. 

SCORPIO: It makes zilch sense 

to keep investing in something 

that’s no longer working when 

there’s a future out there with 

your name on it. If this week 

brings a sudden turn of financial 

events that force a break with 

the past, don’t think disaster. 

Think opportunity. 

SAGITTARIUS: If present 

astral turbulence has you 

rollercoasting from energetic to 

exhausted to excited to creative 

to frustrated, then spend time 

regrouping alone with your 

own thoughts. You must be 

independent, especially during 

late week Sagittarian moon, but 

don’t let it distance you from 

the tribe. 

CAPRICORN: If logic sinks in 

this week’s unpredictable ocean 

of emotions, people mightn’t 

be reasonable or sensible, so 

appeal to their feelings instead 

of their heads. Negotiate tough 

decisions with flexibility rather 

than insistence, help where you 

can, leave if you can’t and make 

no promises. 

AQUARIUS: The present rich 

mix of the good, the bad and 

the inevitable has you wired, 

fired and inspired, so set yourself 

the challenge of moving 

through small annoyances, 

bleeps and glitches without 

upsetting anyone – especially 

yourself. Nesting, resting 

and digesting are this week’s 

recommended exercise. 

PISCES: Don’t let imagined 

slights or perceived disapproval 

spoil your enjoyment as 

situations undergo their 

inevitable transformations. Get 

your personal rituals in place 

and put winter solstice week to 

its best use: breaking old habits 

and making new resolutions. 

Isn’t the weather supporting 

your doing just that...

SNIPPETS 

FOOD PRODUCERS SHINE 

Our local producers just keep winning 

awards. Without a trace of bragging, 

Bangalow Cheese Company’s Justin Telfer 

told The Echo that he seems to win awards 

every time he enters a competition, the 

most recent being Gold for his Coorabell 

Fresh Curd (a divine creamy Persian fettastyle 

cheese in olive oil and herbs) at the 

Brisbane Cheese Awards in June. In May at 

the Queensland Royal Dairy Produce Show 

he was awarded Gold for his Nashua Washed 

Rind (which had also won a Gold at the 

Sydney Royal Cheese & Dairy Awards), Silver 

for the Bangalow Cultured Butter, Federal 

Fetta and Brooklet Brie and a Bronze for the 

Tintenbar Triple Cream. Meanwhile, Nimbin 

Valley Dairy’s Kerry Wilson scored well at the 

Brisbane Cheese Awards as well, winning 

a Gold for his goat’s cheese Orange Fetta 

(spiced with orange and fresh rosemary). 

This is all the more impressive given the 

dairy has only been producing goat’s cheese 

for the past year. The only goat farmers in 

Northern NSW and operating 3kms out of 

Nimbin, Nimbin Valley Dairy has a herd of 

80 goats. Their other cheeses include Lillian 

Fetta, Lemon Billy (with lemon myrtle, bush 

pepper and roast garlic) and Chilli Billy (with 

chilli jam) and can be found at the Farmers 

Market. And Frank Boyle of Nimbin Valley

Fresh is... 

Beefing it up 

Victoria Cosford 

Out at the Barcoo outlet Dan Hill and I are 

discussing the vicissitudes of fashion, especially 

with regard to eating meat. Whereas at least a 

couple of decades ago it was deemed almost 

unsophisticated if you did so – a blokeish, 

boorish sort of thing aligned to beer-drinking 

and burping – there has been a resurgence of 

interest in it, and beef in particular. 

Dan Hill and Dhugal Cowen are the boys 

behind Barcoo Beef, a four-year old familyowned 

company operating in the Northern 

Rivers. Some six months ago I had become 

aware of their meat at Byron Bay’s Green 

Garage, particularly the fabulously fat sausages 

and richly marbled cuts of meat in cryovac 

packs. Both boys come from cattle farms and, 

according to Dan, their company is ‘all about 

the wellbeing of the animal. Our cattle remain 

in the paddock – we put grain in the paddocks 

and the animals always remain in their natural 

environments.’ The grain-feed, Dan goes on to 

tell me, ‘changes the flavour of the meat so it’s 

a bit sweeter, whereas grass-fed cattle is fullflavoured, 

the sort of meat your grandparents 

used to eat.’ So here are cows enjoying the 

best of both worlds, in a sense – free-ranging 

across pastures with access to both the big 

flavour-inducing grasses and the fat-enhancing, 

sweetening grains. No wonder people are 

beginning to pay attention. Moreover, the cows 

are Angus. 

I put it to Dan that one of the various reasons 

for the upswing in the favour of beef has 

been the popularity, the very fashionability 

of Wagyu. Wagyu – from ‘Wa’ meaning 

Japanese and ‘gyu’ meaning cow – refers to 

a Japanese beef breed, or several breeds 

genetically predisposed to intense marbling, 

the most reliable component of meat taste and 

tenderness. Originally draught animals selected 

for their physical endurance, the Japanese 

Wagyu derived from native Asian cattle which 

were infused with British and European breeds 

in the late 1800s. They made their way to 

Australia in 1991 and now Australian Wagyu

Sophisticated blend of flavours and textures with an

Matched by an exciting wine list and arguably the best 

cocktails in town, your taste buds will be tantalised and 

so will your eyes as you look over the streets of Byron 

and enjoy the eclectic vibe of The Balcony. 

Our 60 seat al fresco dining room overlooking the 

ocean has a reputation as the best dining in the 

region! We use the freshest local produce and seafood 

combined with the exquisite mix of Australian and 

modern Italian flavours. 

Beautifully cooked and stylishly presented – we spare 

no expense in sourcing quality produce. 

Traditional Thai food in a beautiful warm refurbished

‘Baysiders’ and new lovers of relaxed modern dining 

to come and imbibe the Bayside Traditional Thai 

experience. 

bloodlines are considered among the best 

in the world. The marbling, or intramuscular 

fat (IMF), results in softer fats and enhanced 

flavour; correspondingly it is very expensive. 

And yet according to Dan ‘with Angus you get 

more value for your money.’ Dan believes it was 

Angus which ‘brought beef back into fashion 

more than Wagyu… 60per cent of Wagyu herds 

in Australia are crossed with Angus anyway’, he 

tells me. 

I am unable to forget the words of Carlo 

Petrini, founder of the Slow Food Movement, 

in his address at Sydney’s Opera House late 

last year, to the effect that never before has 

food been talked about so much. A global 

obsession, it would appear, with television 

shows like Masterchef feeding the frenzy. This, 

too, is contributing to the revival of passion for 

cooking and eating meat – it is almost as if we 

paid our dues sufficiently, after 20 or so years 

focusing austerely on fish and seafood and 

the joyous versatility of vegetables and white 

meats like quail, and are now re-embracing the 

robustness of a good steak or a slow-cooked 

casserole, or reverting to comforting ‘peasant’ 

dishes utilising inexpensive cuts like shanks 

and ox-tails. ‘Flanks are becoming popular’, 

Dan tells me, ‘they’ve got a lot of flavour – and 

they’re very lean. People are liking that South 

American-style of grills…’ He says that a lot of 

restaurants are serving this particular cut – ‘it’s 

90 per cent lean, with no fat.’ He is noticing 

that ‘people are going back to retro cuts like 

T-bones… but they are also eating their meat 

a lot rarer these days, so want something 

flavoursome and tender… Things like ossobuco 

are coming back – slow cooking…’ 

Essentially, what Barcoo is about is trying to 

bring back value for money. ‘We’re not here to 

profiteer off a good product’, Dan says, ‘we just 

want to get a good product out here.’ 

Barcoo Beef is at 81 Centennial Circuit, Byron 

Bay, a wholesale outlet where the public can 

purchase restaurant- and export-quality beef at 

wholesale prices.

Psephology at Angelo’s 

Horatio Bitemark 

Angelo Buonarroti, the owner of the Byron Bay 

restaurant Angelo’s, is a great fan of psephology, the 

statistical study of elections and trends in voting, 

especially of the predictive kind. For Angelo the 

predictive kind involves betting, and as Angelo is 

the owner of many other things, you can be assured 

that his betting is accompanied by a high degree of 

accuracy. 

So, pondering as we were when Kevin Michael 

Rudd would set the date for the federal election, 

with the least opportunity of Anthony John Abbott 

rat-forking him completely, to use the PM’s own 

colourful expression, we piled into the Bentleys 

and took ourselves off to Angelo’s to ask the good 

businessman seer his opinion on to where we 

should be directing our wagers, and to partake of 

his chef’s excellent cuisine. 

‘It will be August 14, gentlemen,’ said Angelo, as 

he oversaw the placing of the pre-heated napkins 

on our distinguished laps. ‘Although most of the 

agencies are offering good odds on the 21st and 

Antony Green favours the 7th, my nose tells me the 

14th. I have placed good money on it.’ 

Mr Buonarroti’s nose is a complex organ. It involves 

not only the olfactory device, but his own instinct, 

information from government sources who owe 

him favours, and readings from nature – the flight 

patterns of birds, the shapes of clouds, and so on. 

He has been known too to consult his own meals: 

the Fettaugen – the eyes of fat – on the minestrone, 

are they big or small? Are they swirling to the left 

or right? 

‘Also there are more common indicators,’ Angelo 

tells us. ‘The local MP takes up bulk advertising and 

letterbox drops, for instance.’ 

‘But why the 14th specifically?,’ asked Tosser Digby, 

replacing his fish fork with his own McHenry & 

Williams hunting knife, just in case there was further 

struggle to be had. 

‘My people tell me,’ says Angelo – they are always 

his people, never anyone in particular – ‘that by 

then the minerals super tax fuss will be off the radar,

and that Mr Abbott by the law of averages will have 

disgraced himself in an incident involving budgiesmugglers 

or a buffalo. It is the time to go for it, 

before the fates rebound.’ 

Before he left us to our meal, we paid close attention 

to Mr Buonarroti’s prognostications. His track record 

was just too good to ignore. Shortly after he arrived 

in Australia from his native Romania in 1974, he 

predicted Edward Gough Whitlam’s downfall. Since 

then he has been right on the ascent of Hawke, the 

defeat of Keating, and the re-election of Tuckey, to 

name but a few. 

Some bets were made by mobile. Always the 

Doubting Thomas, perhaps for no reason other 

than he cannot make up his mind, Abbotsleigh 

turned to the waitress, Honey Somersault, for 

another opinion. Miss Somersault supplements 

her waitressing income as a pole dancer and crime 

novelist, and is also known for her rumour-collecting 

abilities. 

‘I am in agreement with Mr Buonarroti,’ said the 

lithe-limbed author, whose Knuckle Sandwich, 

the sequel to Razor Gang, reached number five in 

the Angus & Robertson charts. ‘Steelnose Teddy 

says it can’t be otherwise, for he has heard it from 

Mr Rudd’s gardener, who owes Steelnose thirty 

thousand bucks and his second-born child.’ 

It seems a sure thing, then. We opened a bottle of 

the Open Democracy Pin The Tail On The Donkey

burning ambition, and looked towards the shining 

future.

After consecutive losses, both Byron 

Bay and Mullumbimby were 

desperate for the two NRRRL 

competition points on offer at 

Red Devil Park on Sunday. 

Coach and lock-forward Simon 

Kelly steered Byron home 

by 25-14, but the score was no 

indicator of the tightness of the 

contest. 

The first forty minutes had 

the typical dourness of a local 

derby, with hooker Eli ‘the 

Hobbit’ Colby barging over 

from dummy half to put the 

Devils in front after twenty-five 

minutes, a lead they extended 

to 8-0 when Sam Barnes was

for the Devils, but the eight minutes 

remaining were always going 

to be too many to maintain 

the skinny lead it provided. 

Captain and will o’ the wisp 

centre Clarence Kelly, shut 

down for most of the day by 

rigorous marking, was primed 

for an explosive contribution. 

When Mullum botched 

a scrum move he swooped on 

the loose ball to sprint sixty metres 

to the line, but the missed 

conversion attempt meant that 

Byron’s 19-14 lead was not unassailable 

– especially against 

never-say-die Mullum. 

But one last twist awaited. 

The Giants’ kicking game 

had been the more effective 

throughout, so it was ironic 

that a Byron up-and-under 

should bury the visitors in the 

extraordinary finale. 

From his own half, with 

speculation rather than design, 

the Devils’ Connor hoiked it 

high. The ball landed precisely 

where none of three defenders 

could quite get it on the full. 

Storming through like a towtruck 

on its way to a prang, 

Leon Kelly got the bounce of 

a lifetime and, to the delirious 

delight of the red crowd on the 

western slope and the funereal 

silence of the mob on the 

eastern, the winger raced forty 

metres untouched to the goalposts. 

It was a coup de grace 

delivered at thrilling speed. 

The Giants and their supporters, 

still living in hope, 

would have been gutted but, as 

they say in the classics, geez it 

was grouse.

kick. Bangalow did score a 

well executed try to Chris Davies 

from a lineout, but it was 

Kyogle’s classy backs that found 

holes out wide, scoring three 

more tries in the second half. 

Bangalows scrums were 

about as good as the Wallabies 

which made it hard for the 

backs to attack from. Overall 

Bangalows performance was 

well below par. 

This Saturday Bangalow is 

away to the friendly fishermen 

from Iluka who are one point 

behind in fifth place. This will 

be the defining game of the 

season.

Bruns Boardriders 

Bruns Boardriders held their 

monthly contest on Sunday in 

unreal waves and all members 

had an amazing day. 

The results for the day were: 

Fleas 1st Tiare Lee and 2nd 

Paris Guyler. 

In the Groms: 1st Kaine 

Guyler, 2nd Oli Sheriden and 

3rd Jacob Chandler and in the 

Cadets: 1st Seb Jeffrey-Jones, 

2nd Rhys Daniels and 3rd Bawoo 

Cockatoo. 

For the Juniors 1st was Seb 

Jeffrey-Jones, 2nd Rhys Daniels 

and 3rd Lachie Bailey. 

Seniors: 1st Corey Strickland 

and 2nd Ken Lee and in 

the Masters, 1st went to Steve 

Foreman, 2nd Ken Lee and 3rd 

Byron 

Byron travelled to Evans Head. 

Byron’s first try came after 

some good lead up work by 

the forwards, which saw Dan 

Ryan go over out wide. 

The backs were having a 

mixed day with Matt Alexander 

directing play down field and a 

bit of quick thinking saw Fabien 

our flying French winger 

score at the half time 10-0. 

The second half started 

with five penalties against Byron 

and Evans scored a well 

deserved try to their halfback 

Les Huges. 

Byron bounced back with a 

well constructed try. For some 

reason the ref got confused 

with the time and called full 

time after that, the final score 

being 17-7. 

Matt Alexander will be having 

his 100th game for Byron 

this weekend against Murwillumbah 

at home. 

The game will start at the Byron 

ground at 2.30pm.

runs at the finish with top scorer 

Brian, 37, who once again 

showed that talent is one of his 

many faults, seeing the Armers 

to a lean looking 114 at the 

close. 

Byron’s tactics were sensible 

in the chase, Christian and 

Neil seeing off James’ lively 

mediums and Brian’s ‘wonder 

wobblers’. Christian began to 

cut loose, punishing anything 

like a Franciscan Monk in a 

medieval boarding school. His 

retirement made the game safe 

for Byron despite some wickets 

from the spirited Bourke 

boys, and Wayne, Jeff and Tim 

cleaned up the scraps with a 

full ten overs to spare. 

Next week the Left Bankers 

play and cricket, like the referees 

in the world cup, is sure 

to be the winner.

ABS Dwelling Commencements 

(housing starts) posted a modest increase 

in the March 2010 quarter, 

said the Housing Industry Association 

(HIA). 

HIA chief economist Dr Harley 

Dale said that total housing starts 

increased by 4.3 per cent in the first 

quarter of 2010 to an annualised level 

of nearly 170,000. HIA’s forecast was 

for a four per cent rise. 

‘There was a strong burst in “Other 

Dwelling” starts in the March 2010 

quarter, a result no doubt aided by 

the Federal Government’s Social 

Housing Initiative,’ said Dr Dale.

THE NORTH COAST’S REAL ESTATE GUIDE 

‘The level of detached house starts, 

while considerably healthier than 

during the GFC period, fell by 2.1 

per cent in the March quarter. 

‘The strong-run up in building approvals 

through to early 2010 is not 

translating into new home starts as 

quickly as is desirable. The conversion 

rate for approvals to starts fell 

below the long term average to sit at 

94 per cent in the March quarter. 

‘The unjustifiably tight credit conditions 

for residential development, 

uncertainty about the magnitude 

of rate rises in 2010, and some approvals 

simply being “reissued” with 

Vendors and real estate agents 

should avoid the risk of unwittingly 

selling or renting a home with an 

unsafe balcony which could collapse, 

killing or injuring people, by having 

scheduled maintenance checks. 

Angus Kell, ACT and NSW state 

manager of Archicentre, said people 

buying properties with large decks, 

or high balconies, especially in coastal 

areas, should request a copy of the 

no firm plan for commencement all 

contributed to what is overall a soft 

first quarter update for new home 

building. 

‘HIA continues to expect a relatively 

healthy rise in housing starts in 

the 2009/10 financial year, albeit off 

a very low base. However, a positive 

outlook for 2010/11 and beyond is far 

from assured amidst considerable 

supply-side obstacles which in this 

cycle have been added to by a dire 

lack of available finance for development,’ 

Harley Dale said. 

The number of housing starts (including 

conversions) in the March 

Home buyers should ask for balcony 

building permits and current safety 

check, says Archicentre 

building permit for the structure and 

an independent current assessment 

of its safety by a registered inspector 

from a reputable organisation. 

Mr Kell said it is important people 

purchasing homes have access to appropriate 

building permits to gain an 

understanding of when the deck was 

built and approved by the local council. 

Archicentre’s pre-purchase home 

inspection statistics show that about 

six per cent of Australian homes have 

a timber balcony or deck and that 

about two per cent of these (8,000) 

are potentially fatal. 

Following a recent balcony collapse 

in NSW, where twelve teenagers were 

injured, Mr Kell said selling a house 

with an unsafe balcony could be compared 

to selling a car with no brakes.

sold with illegally built or unsafe balconies 

is a very real issue given the 

fact that many of the collapses can 

happen with large numbers of people 

on the deck. 

‘Anyone who purchases a home 

with a balcony that is in disrepair and 

which collapses injuring people or 

themselves could find themselves in 

no man’s land with insurance claims 

as they are responsible for maintaining 

their home in good order.’ 

Mr Kell said in the last few years, 

balcony collapses in several states 

have resulted in a number of injuries 

and deaths with coastal properties

in the high risk categories because 

of the harsh environment and salt 

damage to metal fittings. 

‘As a safety measure, all homeowners 

should thoroughly check the timbers, 

fixings and structure that support 

and attach the deck to the home, 

and check the bracing members and 

support beams of the deck, timber 

posts and steel columns looking for 

soft, spongy sections of compressed 

timber and rusting steel. 

‘If people find faults they should 

take immediate action to repair them 

and if they are not sure to seek professional 

advice.’

REALITY CHECK 

While the foregoing sounds like good news, when balanced against 

total housing shortages, a different picture emerges. Elsewhere HIA has 

warned that on current building trends, Australia’s housing shortage will 

increase to 466,000 over the next decade and that we need to ensure 

that there are adequate amounts of land out there to build homes on 

combined with tax incentives to ensure a recovery in home building.

Understatement of the week 

goes to the note in the Council 

planning report on the state 

government deeming lands at 

West Byron as of state significance: 

‘Of a preliminary concern 

was a statement by one 

planner representing some 

land owners “...that Councillors 

would be written to individually, 

and that Council, as 

a body, might not be consulted 

regarding the concept, layout 

and design outcomes for the 

site”’. Talk about cheek. The 

bigger problem with dealing 

with councillors individually is 

that you end up with an ICAC 

investigation, as happened 

with property developer Paul 

McMahon’s dealings at West 

Byron in the 1990s. Councillors 

will consider the report 

this week, if they get to it in 

their agenda. 

�� 

Local web design company 

DNA Digital has compiled a 

Byron Bay Twitter Directory 

for all the twitter accounts it 

could identify as being local. 

‘The idea is to encourage crosstalk 

and exposure between all 

our local twitterers,’ says DNA. 

You can find the directory at 

www.dnadigital.com.au. Now 

maybe our local councillors 

could have a Twitter debate following 

the example of our state 

pollies. It would probably be 

better attended than a RL (Real 

Life) council meeting. 

�� 

The American group ‘Hands 

Across the Sands’ website is 

at www.handsacrossthesand. 

com. Its local supporters are 

hoping folks will show up in 

numbers on Saturday June 26 

at Main Beach, Byron Bay, to 

join hands for 15 minutes at 

midday, forming lines in the 

sand against oil drilling in 

coastal waters.

The Nimbin Performance Poetry 

World Cup is celebrating 

its eighth year, and applications 

are open for poets to perform 

one or more of their original 

works within an eight minute 

timeframe. Find out more at 

www.nimbinpoetry.com. There 

is a $15 entry fee and a prize 

pool of $6,000. 

�� 

Don’t cross the border to the 

north and swear – it could cost 

you a $100 on the spot fine. 

That’s Queensland’s response to 

the Palm Island inquiry which 

blasted the police. Mandy Nolan 

gives you a rundown on 

the dangers in her effin Wash 

Your Mouth Out With Soap 

Box. She suggests rewards for 

more inventive swearing, or 

you could resort to obscure 

Shakespearean oaths – ‘By Jupiter’s 

hirsute cod’, for example 

– which will give the wallopers 

something to think about.

In response to requests from 

teachers and parents, Biological 

Farmers of Australia (BFA) 

has released a free resource, the 

BFA Organic School Gardens 

Program, featuring practical 

and easy-to-use online resources 

and lesson plans. The 

program is available to view 

and download at www.organicschools.com.au. 

There’s a lot of 

good work being done in this 

area, and there’s few activities 

more resilient and empowering 

than children learning to grow 

and cook their own food.
