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 />

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 />

<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 />

self sufficient through income generated through our<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 />

Info @ Cobargo<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 />

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 />

<strong>The</strong> Committee then<br />

plans to fundraise for the<br />

purchase of 100 plastic<br />

stack-able chairs and trolley<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 />

region an opportunity to be involved, to<br />

participate, and to shine, the festival<br />

organisers believe.<br />

Chair of Four Winds Sheena<br />

Boughen says the Festival would not be<br />

possible without the participation of the<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 />

AWL Pet of the Month<br />

<strong>The</strong>re are lots (and lots) of kittens<br />

and cats in care with the Far South Coast<br />

Branch of Animal Welfare League NSW<br />

branch at the moment. <strong>The</strong>ir cost has been<br />

drastically reduced in the hope that this will<br />

Lots of Cats and Kittys need homes<br />

encourage potential owners, who otherwise<br />

could not afford the costs associated with<br />

responsible ownership, able to take on a desexed,<br />

vaccinated, microchipped and wormed<br />

pet for minimal cost.<br />

Seth, (pictured) is a playful and<br />

energetic 7 weeks old male tabby and<br />

white kitten, who loves a quiet cuddle<br />

when he’s used up all his energy. He and<br />

his friends Billy, a 7 week old female<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 />

adopted.<br />

If you can provide a warm<br />

welcome for these orphans, please call<br />

our adoption line on 0400 372 609 for<br />

more information and costs.<br />

“From the Heart” is a collection of<br />

stories and poems written by pet lovers<br />
