Cobargo Skate Park takes shape<br />
In the true spirit of community participation, Cobargo mums, dads, kids and all came out in force to work on the new Skate Park. <strong>The</strong><br />
kids just can’t wait until it is finished to try out their new tricks! Well done everyone.<br />
Mary Williams<br />
President, Cobargo C.W.A.<br />
Cobarbo Country Women’s<br />
Association has been raising awareness<br />
of their work over the past year, and it<br />
has paid off - our numbers continue to<br />
grow!<br />
One of our members recently<br />
attended the State Conference held in<br />
Nowra and the following is a direct quote<br />
from the front page of the South Coast<br />
Register on Wednesday 18th May:<br />
“<strong>The</strong> NSW CWA is in town and its<br />
members mean business, serious<br />
business.<br />
<strong>The</strong> issues on their agenda read<br />
like an instruction manual on how to build<br />
a better world and rightly so - it’s what<br />
Collective Wisdom Abounds<br />
they’re doing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> women have been debating<br />
issues as varied as the effectiveness of<br />
how motorists are policed on our roads,<br />
carbon tax, coal seam mining, Asian<br />
bees, assisted suicide and just about<br />
every subject in between.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y collectively hold an<br />
unfathomable wealth of wisdom,<br />
research and understanding and they<br />
have the patience, the time and the will<br />
to take their recommendations to the<br />
highest office.<br />
As they debate the issues there<br />
is an inspirational electricity in the<br />
auditorium.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are concise and courteous<br />
but don’t hold back if they have to take<br />
issue with a subject.<br />
After three days they will come<br />
away with a list of issues that, when<br />
carried, become their policy which then<br />
gives them the opportunity to take those<br />
issues to the relevant politicians.”<br />
If any women in Cobargo and<br />
district that would like to be part of this<br />
great organisation that is a great deal<br />
more than tea and scones, join us for a<br />
cuppa and a chat on Tuesday 14th June or<br />
any second Tuesday of the month at the<br />
CWA cottage on the Bermagui Road.<br />
You will find a warm welcome.<br />
Together we can make a difference to the<br />
world.<br />

“Boogie Woogie” in Bermagui and<br />
why we should Buy Local<br />
Maralyn Callaghan<br />
Friendly new faces at Bermagui Library<br />
Donna Lawrence and Ursula Kelly<br />
Around 30 quality entries were<br />
submitted for the Bermie Buy Local<br />
Campaign Logo and Slogan competition.<br />
<strong>The</strong> judges will have a very difficult time<br />
choosing a winner. After choosing the<br />
winning logo/slogan the Bermagui<br />
Chamber of Commerce will produce<br />
reusable shopping bags and begin an<br />
advertising campaign. <strong>The</strong> project is<br />
supported by NSW Industry and<br />
Business.<br />
In an effort to keep our dollars<br />
circulating in Bermagui, buying local<br />
is essential for any small towns’<br />
survival. Sure big conglomerates with<br />
massive purchasing power can often<br />
sell more cheaply, but with the recent<br />
excessive hike in fuel, most analyst<br />
attribute amongst other things to the<br />
greed of large supermarket chains.<br />
Our local businesses employ our<br />
teenagers for school holidays and<br />
If you have been into Bermagui<br />
Library recently, you will have been met<br />
by the friendly faces of two new staff<br />
members. Donna Lawrence and Ursula<br />
Kelly have recently joined the Bega<br />
Library Services team to look after<br />
Bermagui Library.<br />
Donna has moved to the south<br />
coast with her partner and was recently<br />
working at Bankstown Library Services.<br />
Donna has commented on the<br />
friendliness of the Bermagui<br />
community.<br />
Ursula worked at the<br />
Eurobodalla Library Services and is<br />
delighted to join Donna at Bermagui.<br />
weekend work, giving them work<br />
experience and the foundation for an<br />
autonomous life. Buying local is not just<br />
about our carbon footprint and<br />
environmental issues, it is vital for our<br />
future economic success. Most of us<br />
chose to live here, let’s honour that<br />
decision and buy local. More<br />
information is available from Lisa Miller<br />
Bradley 0438 710 064.<br />
Bermagui Fisherman’s Wharf complex<br />
<strong>The</strong>y would both like to thank the<br />
community for the wonderful warm<br />
welcome they have received in the<br />
library.<br />
On another note, the trial of<br />
Saturday morning openings at Bermagui<br />
Library has finished and its future is being<br />
reviewed by Council.<br />
We are keen to receive feedback<br />
from the community as to the value (or<br />
otherwise) of Saturday morning opening<br />
at Bermagui and request you send an<br />
email outlining your views to Penny<br />

celebration success<br />
Bill Johnston<br />
<strong>The</strong> Probus Club of Bermagui<br />
recently celebrated its 20 th Anniversary<br />
with a week long program of events and<br />
activities, starting with a well-attended<br />
Sausage Sizzle in the outside bar of the<br />
Bermagui Country Club. A wine tasting at<br />
Belgrave Park Winery was lots of fun, with<br />
a fine selection of wines and cheeses<br />
supplied by South Coast Cheese, Tilba,<br />
and later in the week a BBQ and at<br />
Corunna Lake.<br />
Further activities included a<br />
musical afternoon by former member Ken<br />
Horne, with special catering by Carole<br />
Broadhead.<br />
<strong>The</strong> culmination of the week long<br />
celebration saw a morning golf game with<br />
prizes donated by local businesses<br />
followed by a luncheon attended by over<br />
50 members in the BCC Auditorium.<br />
It was quite a hectic week but<br />
thoroughly enjoyed by those who<br />
participated.<br />

Editorial<br />
Keep those cards and letters flowing in, Dear Readers, we are approaching<br />
our Ninth Birthday at the end of the winter so it would be rewarding if we could have<br />
more communication with you over the colder months as they lend themselves to<br />
more sedentary activities.<br />
<strong>The</strong> local committees are finalizing their exhibitions for the long weekend<br />
and of course there is the Jazz at Merimbula so you will have many outings to look<br />
forward to.<br />
Even though there have been some unseasonably cold mornings, the winter<br />
arrival has been like a continuation of the rather cold summer which we have had.<br />
Warm days, high seas, happy surfers<br />
“I’ve walked a mile in their shoes ...”<br />
Disability access in our community.<br />
Rosemary Millard<br />
One day you get up and walk out<br />
the door and everything changes,<br />
especially when you break your leg in<br />
your own garden.<br />
Have you ever thought how hard<br />
it is to live some sort of a normal life with<br />
a disability Even our local area/s are<br />
not very friendly to those on crutches or<br />
in wheel chairs. Bermagui for example<br />
has the streetscape from hell, even when<br />
I am in full command of my faculties,<br />
unloading the groceries is a feat. Will<br />
the trolley stay in place whilst I unload<br />
the shopping onto the pavement, how<br />
many dogs have wee’d where I am<br />
putting the bags, and will there be a<br />
parking place for my car close to where<br />
the goods are piled up. This does not<br />
even mention the steps!! <strong>The</strong> steps up to<br />
the shops, the steps into the shops or<br />
alternatively risking being wiped off the<br />
road by the cars vying for a spot near<br />
the Post Office or coffee shops as they<br />
whirl into Wallaga Street.<br />
Thumbs Up<br />
<strong>The</strong> other main problem is<br />
dressing, showering and general care of<br />
yourself, your clothes, your hair and the<br />
one shoe which is actually useful. Don’t<br />
blame anyone who has a disability for<br />
looking slightly scruffy as everything<br />
takes so long and you get fed up with the<br />
whole procedure half way through.<br />
If you are lucky enough to have a<br />
partner, you are on Cloud 9, even if the<br />
partner isn’t having to pick up and run<br />
around after you 24/7. I cannot even<br />
imagine surviving the whole procedure<br />
without a partner but one does and one<br />
would adapt. This is a warning to us all<br />
not to take the good things in life for<br />
granted and to care for those who have a<br />
problem.<br />
CORRECTION<br />
In the May issue of the<br />
<strong>Triangle</strong> we mistakenly called the<br />
guest speaker at the ANZAC Day<br />
Service in Cobargo Rodney Stanton<br />
instead of Ronald (Ron). We<br />
apopogise for the error.<br />
Editor, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Triangle</strong><br />
To the more mature of us who are attaining their doctorates.<br />
We look forward to endless pontification!<br />
To BVSC for consulting with the community by holding a series of<br />
community meetings<br />
A heartfelt thanks, from the Bermagui Bandits Social Golf Team,<br />
for the use of the Cobargo Scout Assn community mini bus. We<br />
use this great bus on regular occasions and appreciate it heaps for<br />
all our trips away.<br />
Thumbs Down<br />
To attendances at BVSC area meetings (perhaps caused by<br />
lack of advertising the events)<br />
To the constant watering of local roads, causing a cement-like<br />
coating on vehicles, almost impossible to remove<br />

Charles Dickens ..<br />
Love him or hate him<br />
Charles Dickens is vilified as simply<br />
a potboiler where others insist he is a<br />
genius.<br />
A prolific 19th Century author of<br />
short stories, plays, novellas, novels,<br />
fiction and non-fiction, he became<br />
universally known for his depictions of the<br />
social classes, mores and values of his<br />
times, his remarkable characters, and his<br />
mastery of prose in telling their lives.<br />
Considered the champion of the poor, he<br />
definitely brought awareness to the plight<br />
of the downtrodden and have-nots. He<br />
had his share of critics like Virginia Woolf<br />
and Henry James, but also many<br />
admirers like G.K Chesterton and George<br />
Orwell, even into the 21st Century.<br />
How did he write, where did he find<br />
his characters and his stories <strong>The</strong>se<br />
questions may be answered while you<br />
listen to some readings, enter the<br />
discussions and do the quiz, while<br />
enjoying music and refreshments of his<br />
time.<br />
Join us at Well Thumbed Books<br />
th<br />
June<br />

Mary Williams’<br />
fascinating insight into<br />

Dickens. If you are not<br />

newest member, Suzy<br />
McKinnon. Suzy and her<br />
husband Steve are relative<br />
newcomers to the district and<br />
her love of the local landscape<br />

painted all her life, she is also<br />
skilled in interior design and<br />
decorating. Suzy has applied<br />
her interior design skills to the<br />

As you would be aware, the<br />
Cobargo Voluntary Information Centre<br />
has been a wonderful success story not<br />
only for the community in general but for<br />
all the visitors to the village and<br />
surrounding district.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Centre is staffed entirely by<br />
volunteers and the Co-ordinator Dianne<br />
Saunders has guided the development<br />
over the past four years, under the<br />
umbrella of the Cobargo Tourist and<br />
Business Association Inc. For the last 12<br />
months a new co-ordinator has been<br />
sought with limited success, to take over<br />
from Dianne who now requires some rest<br />
from her many activities. If this can not<br />
be resolved the Centre will be closed, not<br />
because it needs funding or volunteers<br />
but because it won’t have a Co-Ordinator.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Co-ordinator would be<br />
required to handle basic<br />
administration<br />
duties,<br />
approximately 10 hours per<br />
month. An efficient structure is in<br />
place and full training would be<br />
given. This would be a great<br />
opportunity for anyone over 55<br />
years, registered with Centrelink,<br />
who is required to do volunteer<br />
work within the community. This<br />
volunteer position would be open<br />
to anyone wanting to contribute to<br />
such a worthwhile project.<br />
At the recent Open Cafe<br />
Community discussion the<br />
consensus of those attending was<br />
to develop local product availability<br />
within the village, welcome visitors<br />
to our community and promote the<br />
beautiful environmnet we live in. This is<br />
exactly what the information centre is<br />
doing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most<br />
common reason given<br />
as to why people<br />
choose to live in this<br />
area is “I want to be<br />
part of a real<br />
community that works<br />
together”. Well here is<br />
a great opportunity to<br />
do just that, put those<br />
thoughts into action.<br />
This position does not<br />
need a degree or a<br />
super person, just a<br />
willingness to give a<br />
little back.<br />

Tilba Bites<br />
Richard Tilzey<br />
Easter is long gone, winter is here<br />
and Tilba tourist traffic is now winding<br />
down to intermittent grey nomad dropins,<br />
the odd foreign visitor and occasional<br />
coachload of wrinklies. <strong>The</strong> final<br />
accounting for the Easter Festival showed<br />
it to have yielded a profit of over $10 K,<br />
much of which will go towards improving<br />
the village’s amenities. Again, well done<br />
to all involved. It was estimated that<br />
between 7 and 8 thousand people<br />
attended the festival.<br />
Most of us Tilba-ites enjoy this quiet<br />
time of the year, albeit that the hills are<br />
alive with the sound of chainsaws as<br />
temperatures start to fall. However, there<br />
are always a few die-hards who can’t get<br />
enough of festival life. <strong>The</strong> lure of the<br />
Narooma Oyster Festival attracted some<br />
locals of such a hedonistic bent. Chief<br />
amongst these were Stu and Waz, both<br />
safe in the knowledge that they and their<br />
entourages could spend the night aboard<br />
their respective moored vessels and<br />
escape the worries of finding their way<br />
back to Tilba after an ale or two. Despite<br />
requesting details from a rather seedy<br />
Waz on the following day, your<br />
correspondent remained uncertain about<br />
what actually happened on the night in<br />
question. A few days later Stu was even<br />
less forthcoming, muttering something<br />
akin to “loose lips sink ships”.<br />
Nevertheless, a picture gradually<br />
emerged of a group of blokes and a zillion<br />
bottles of wine huddled around a chip<br />
heater on one boat, while the ladies froze<br />
their delicate bums off on the other. It was<br />
indeed a cold night.<br />
Quiet times mean that there are<br />
no startling events to report on, hence I<br />
descend (as usual) into local snippets.<br />
Simon Simpson recently acquired a new<br />
toy, a handsome Harley Davidson<br />
motorcycle. Doing his best to look like a<br />
mean Bandido he roared up to Pams<br />
Store and attempted to put air into his<br />
tyres. After fiddling about for several<br />
minutes (with much Bandido type<br />
muttering about people’s mothers) he<br />
complained to Cliffy Hayden that his airhose<br />
connector was malfunctioning.<br />
Cliffy quietly perused the situation and<br />
dulcetly informed our would be Bandido<br />
that it might be wise to first remove the<br />
screw-on valve caps! A somewhat<br />
deflated Bandido complied. <strong>The</strong><br />
reputation of the Simpson family was<br />
partially restored by his grandson Digger<br />
winning the Narooma News’ ‘catch of the<br />
week’ fishing competition. Well done<br />
Digger! It should be noted that Digger<br />
has learnt his angling skills from his dad<br />
Hoots, not grumpy old grandpa who is<br />
currently attempting to frighten a few<br />
barramundi during his annual Darwin trip.<br />
Drom patrons are fast becoming<br />
a bunch of hippies. No, we’re not referring<br />
to long haired, dope smoking 60s throwbacks,<br />
we’re talking about hip<br />
replacements. Bionic Barney is fast being<br />
overtaken by his drinking mates. Sir<br />
Stanley certainly holds the record as he’s<br />
just had his fifth hip replacement under<br />
the proviso that he’s never to go fishing<br />
with Lynchy again, or to go near his boat<br />
for that matter. <strong>The</strong> latest hip recipient is<br />
Jock. During his convalescence Jock has<br />
been experimenting with the noble art of<br />

pie making and many strange aromas<br />
have been emanating from his and<br />
Chook’s kitchen. Recipes are many and<br />
a variety of local wildlife is looking<br />
increasingly nervous. Indeed, there are<br />
strong rumours about the imminent<br />
launch of the Great Tilba Tilba Pie<br />
Emporium. However, at this stage I can’t<br />
see Alfie becoming too concerned. I<br />
always remember the classic fast food<br />
shop riposte; When asked “Eat here or<br />
take away” always reply “Well both I<br />
hope”. That usually evokes a response<br />
from behind the counter!<br />
<strong>The</strong> saga of Wendy Woo’s goldfish<br />
continues. A pond inspection revealed a<br />
startling fall in water level. How could this<br />
be Her attention was drawn to a nearby<br />
horse. A hasty head count ensued but no<br />
fish were missing. However, the<br />
possibility that piscine wetsuits may<br />
become equine chewing-gum has led to<br />
the wetsuit project being temporarily put<br />
on hold. My suggestion that she rename<br />
the horse Gold Caviar and enter it in the<br />
Bega Cup was strongly rebuffed.<br />

“Pam’s Store”<br />
changes hands<br />
Harry Bate<br />
At the end of March, after five years<br />
operating Pam’s Store at Tilba Tilba, Dave Bennett,<br />
together with his wife Angela, and daughter Kelly<br />
have moved out to their land at Dignam’s Creek<br />
where they are constructing their new home. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
will be missed around Tilba, especially their dog,<br />
Barney, who seems to have 109 lives, and takes<br />
himself everywhere with no traffic fears. During<br />
his time Dave introduced positive changes to the<br />
store, the most noteworthy being Friday night<br />
dinners which proved very popular with locals and<br />
visitors alike. A small farewell function was held<br />
just before they left.<br />
New owners of the business are Cliff and<br />
Sherry Hayden, son and daughter-in-law of Pam<br />
and Kevin Hayden, so it is keeping it in the family.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y are enthusiastic about their new role, and<br />
Cliff who is a painter by trade, has been busy<br />
sprucing up the old building. Cliff says “We look<br />
forward to providing a broad service to the local<br />
community. We will continue with take-away food.<br />
As a part of the business, we propose to open a<br />
Treatment Room where Sherry will practise her<br />
massage therapy.” <strong>The</strong> local community wishes<br />
them well in this new chapter in their lives.<br />

No-One Strangled in Tilba<br />
Another successful Tilba festival is over. No-one dead or<br />
strangled, although the idea was definitely there.<br />
As a parking attendant up at the huge paddock by the highway,<br />
you hear some very strange things:<br />
Here are some of the questions and statements that came from<br />
this year’s festival attendees ....<br />
Is there room to park<br />
Where are the coffee shops<br />
Is this where the Tilba Festival is<br />
Do I have to park here because I have a baby<br />
I’m from the Council!<br />
But we just wanted to stop for coffee.<br />
Is there room for me<br />
“Sorry girls” (she was driving a 4WD land cruiser). Will this be all right<br />
if I park it on the grass<br />
I can’t park here because I have dinner plans.<br />
I know what to do because I used to co-ordinate this.<br />
Where do we go<br />
I don’t want to park here and have to walk because I have these stupid<br />
shoes on.<br />
I am here to work so I HAVE to park closer.<br />
What’s on at the Festival<br />
Is there anything closer – it’s just that Warren is at the pub…………<br />
And the personal favourite bumper sticker: “Beware, Bitch with<br />
Bullbar”<br />
Cheers<br />

recently to a friend who had a broken leg<br />
we agreed that disabled access is often<br />
abysmal, we need more and safer bike<br />
tracks, and after my grandchildrens’<br />
recent visit, the need for a further<br />
upgrade to the children’s playground in<br />
the main street. Any more suggestions<br />

Catch up with Proteas!<br />
News from the Bermagui Garden Group<br />
A number of years ago five<br />
Bermagui ladies decided it would be nice<br />
to visit local gardens once a month , with<br />
no fuss or formalities. Eighteen years<br />
onwards the group is still going strong.<br />
We meet normally the first<br />
Tuesday in the month at 10am with a plate<br />
for morning tea. November is the<br />
exception, when we let the horses have<br />
their day and we meet the 2 nd Tuesday.<br />
After a cuppa and catch-up chat, we thank<br />
the owner of the garden for having us and<br />
then explore the garden. None of us is an<br />
expert, but there is a wealth of garden<br />
commonsense and knowledge amongst<br />
the group which we can all call on.<br />
We are not a club as such so there<br />
are no fees, but we do have a purely<br />
voluntary donation box from which we buy<br />
our supplies of tea/coffee etc. What is left<br />
A happy group of gardeners visiting Terry Gilham’s protea property<br />
Tina Cotton with the special cake, baked for her<br />
birthday, at the May meeting of the B.G.G.<br />
over at the end of the year is donated<br />
to a local good cause. (<strong>The</strong> Red Cross<br />
was the recipient of last year’s<br />
donations.) We also have a name badge<br />
which can be supplied at a nominal<br />
price. Our year runs from February to<br />
December and we have a volunteer<br />
organiser, whose duties are not very<br />
onerous.<br />
Last month, May, we visited a<br />
beautiful autumn-coloured garden at<br />
Coolagolite. Set on the side of a hill, the<br />
garden is almost all on one level and<br />
has a wonderful view to the mountains<br />
and a most picturesque pattern of black<br />
and white cows scattered over the<br />
lower paddocks. Next month we are<br />
having something different – the Red<br />
Cross Liaison Officer is giving us a<br />
Rediplan Talk on Emergencies, which will<br />
be at the Bermagui CWA Rooms in the<br />
afternoon .<br />
Each month a poster with details is<br />
displayed at Bermagui Post Office, the<br />
Information Centre, Central Tilba Post<br />
Office and the Spires Nursery, Tilba Tilba.<br />
Everyone is most welcome to join us – the<br />
more the merrier, we say.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Murrah Rostra Movie Benefit<br />
will be held on Saturday 18th June at 6 pm.<br />
<strong>The</strong> purpose of this fun(d)raiser is to raise<br />
approximately $1,200 for the materials to<br />
construct via volunteers 8 portable<br />
rostra.<strong>The</strong> rostra will expand the staging<br />
possibilities for events at the Hall and,<br />
importantly, will also become a free<br />
community resource.<br />

(<strong>The</strong> Children of Paradise) was voted<br />
(1995) by “600 French critics and<br />
professionals as the Best French Film of<br />
all time.” Using the <strong>Triangle</strong>’s inflatable<br />
screen this memorable outdoor event will<br />
be held at James Lynn’s property in<br />
Bermagui.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Committee then<br />
plans to fundraise for the<br />
purchase of 100 plastic<br />
stack-able chairs and trolley<br />
($3,500).<br />
<strong>The</strong>se additions will<br />
compliment the recently<br />
installed portable lighting to<br />
make the Murrah Hall the<br />
most versatile and<br />
comfortable small<br />
performance venue in this<br />
region.<br />
Although the<br />

inappropriate given the natural<br />

local community. “Everyone is a winner,<br />
and we want to thank all our volunteers,<br />
supporters and sponsors who make this<br />
Festival possible, and have done for<br />
years.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> only event of its kind in<br />
Australia, the Art Music Awards play a<br />
critical role in fostering the Australian<br />
contemporary music scene and<br />
acknowledging the achievements of our<br />
extremely talented composers,<br />
performers and supporters, to the rest<br />
of the world” says Brett Cottle, CEO<br />
APRA/AMCOS.<br />
<strong>The</strong> citation for the award<br />
said that Artistic Director for 2010-<br />
2012 Genevieve Lacey was to be<br />
commended for the new exciting<br />
direction the Four Winds Festival<br />
took in 2010.<br />
“<strong>The</strong> program was an<br />
exciting mix featuring collaborations<br />
between various high calibre local,<br />
national and international artists,<br />
diversity of performances and an<br />
outreach program for community<br />
and schools.<br />
Sheena Boughen says this award<br />
raises the bar even higher but she is<br />
confident that next year’s festival will be<br />
more exciting than ever.<br />

Book Review<br />
Heather O’Connor<br />
Geraldine Brooks, Caleb’s Crossing,<br />
Fourth Estate, $32.99 (reduced to $20,00 at<br />
Dymocks)<br />
I’m always nervous picking up the<br />
latest book of a favorite author in case<br />
I’m disappointed, but this was no<br />
disappointment – it is Brooks at her best.<br />
In the same vein as March and People of<br />
the Book, she illustrates how her use of<br />
language can just transport you into the<br />
era of which she writes. In this case, it’s<br />
into the early Puritan settlements in New<br />
England, the relationship between a<br />
Calvinist minister, his daughter and the<br />
American Indians in the new settlements.<br />
<strong>The</strong> central Indian character is based on<br />
the real life story of Caleb<br />
Cheeshahteaumauk, son of a chieftain,<br />
who decides the best he can do for his<br />
people is to learn the ways of<br />
the white people. He<br />
progressed in real life to<br />
become an outstanding<br />
student at the newly<br />
established Harvard<br />
University – this is about all<br />
Brooks knew of his real life, but<br />
around this she creates a<br />
fictional account of the<br />
relationship between Caleb<br />
and Bethia, daughter of the<br />
minister.<br />
Her research into the<br />
era is, as always, impeccable,<br />
including how she conveys the<br />
frustration of the women of the period<br />
who were denied access to formal<br />
education. Some of them, like our fictional<br />
heroine, somehow, managed to get<br />
around the restrictions.<br />
Bethia becomes Caleb’s<br />
first tutor, and learns as<br />
much from him about the<br />
lives of the Indians – their<br />
friendship survives the<br />
pressures of society and<br />
the suffocating<br />
restrictions that the<br />
Puritans (in this case –<br />
they weren’t alone!)<br />
placed on women whose<br />
roles were defined strictly<br />
in terms of marriage and<br />
motherhood.<br />
If you can manage to get hold of<br />
her earlier books, it will make this one<br />
even more enjoyable. A great Australian<br />
writer, a truly worthy Pulitzer Prize winner.<br />

and cats in care with the Far South Coast<br />
Branch of Animal Welfare League NSW<br />

grey and white kitten, and Benji a fluffy<br />
tabby male kitten, and many more<br />
lovable felines are just waiting to be<br />
