Vote 1 

Dave Burgess 

Mayor 

I am married with two sons and have been a permanent 

resident of the Mid Murray District for 25 years. 

I have owned my own business over the past 30 years 

I have enjoyed being a councillor for Mid Murray over 

the past 7½ years, the last 4 as Deputy Mayor. 

I believe we need to guide our growth within our region 

to develop a base for future business and managed 

tourism. We need to find a balance by providing the 

needs of the community whilst still protecting our 

environment. 

Your vote for me will ensure 

strong leadership necessary 

for the Mid Murray Council to 

achieve these goals.

Candidate 

RIVER NORTH WARD 

As a resident of Cadell I have represented River North 

Ward as a Councilor for the past four years. During this 

period I have served on the Strategic Planning committee 

and Reserves Management Working group and have seen a 

positive change. 

If re-elected I will continue to support the ongoing projects 

in River North that benefit our youth and senior citizens. I 

am committed to provide facilities to our region that are 

normal in larger towns and this in turn will help local 

business prosper. The river and tourism are very 

important to our region and so are the many community 

groups that keep our towns alive. We have seen positive 

changes in recent times, some of which are upgrades to 

the Morgan Internet centre and the Cadell Institute, 

Re-roofing of Landseer building and funding for a new 

Playground and BMX track. We have also seen the 

introduction of the Morgan/Cadell community car, a 

medical transport service that is run by volunteers and 

council. The re-development of the Morgan riverfront is a 

very exciting project and is one that I am proud to be part 

of and will continue to support this if re-elected. 

Make your vote count and we 

will keep moving forward

TIME TO HAVE A SAY 

Councillors are responsible for many millions of dollars on infrastructure and 

essential services each year, but the great power bestowed on them can come 

back to just a few voters. 

At the last two council elections, less than one in three eligiblevoters used their power to 

influence the shape of the local council. 

Use your democratic right to take part in the voting process 

andhave an input into the management of your local community. 

If you voted in the recent federal election you are eligible to 

vote in your council election. 

Voting is how we influence what happens at a local level. 

While our council consults local communities 

before making key decisions, ultimately elected 

councillors are responsible for spending on 

roads, parks, stormwater drains, local road 

maintenance, libraries and parks. 

Individual councillors, who you vote for during the election 

period, exercise their power to influence these and other 

community issues by voting at council meetings. 

You can find out more about each candidate 

for our River North Ward on the LGA website. 

www.lgcandidates.sa.gov.au 

However, Those wanting to find out more about each 

candidate use the details to contact each individually, 

you will find each very welcoming about their view to our 

communities future direction of our community. 

Although it is not compulsory to vote these local elections 

have a huge impact locally.

MOBILE FUN BOX HITS THE STREETS! 

The Mobile Fun Box has hit the streets in the Mid Murray Council 

area much to the delight of local young bike, scooter and skateboard 

enthusiasts. 

The Mobile Fun Box is a portable skate ramp which has been 

purchased by Mid Murray Council to cater for the needs of youth in 

small towns throughout the Council area. 

CEO Dean Gollan said “The Mobile Fun Box is a great Council asset 

which will provide free fun and entertainment for young people in 

towns throughout our Council area. Council is working in a number 

of initiatives to bring opportunities to communities throughout the 

district and it is great to see this one now operating in the region.” 

Whilst popular in the Eastern States it is believed to be the first of its 

kind operating in South Australia. 

It is planned for the fun box to visit 12 towns throughout the Mid 

Murray area on a rotational basis. After a short time in Cadell it will 

move to Morgan, Blanchetown and Truro before completing a loop 

of the district and ending up back in Cadell. Dates and further 

information is available from Mid Murray Council.

DESIGNER APPOINTED FOR MORGAN RIVERFRONT 

PRECINCT PROJECT 

11 

For the past few months, the Mid Murray Council has been working in association with the Morgan Community 

Development and Tourism Association to commence preliminary planning for the Morgan Riverfront Precinct 

Project. 

A successful ‘Places for People’ grant confirmed the first stage of the project to appoint a designer to formulate 

an overall development concept/ master plan for the Morgan Riverfront Precinct. 

A series of workshops were conducted with the Morgan Community to ascertain your thoughts, ideas and vision 

for the future of the precinct and a steering committee was formed to appoint a designer to deliver the final 

master plan. 

The Morgan Riverfront Steering Committee has appointed Hilary Hamnett and Associates as the design 

company to formulate a design master plan for the Morgan Riverfront Precinct. 

As the project leader for Hilary Hamnett & Associates, and on behalf of our team, “I am delighted that we have 

been selected to work with the Morgan community on the Riverfront Precinct improvements. Morgan holds a 

unique place in South Australia’s history, especially in the economy of the state during the evolution of rail and 

river transport. We hope to add a new page to the history of Morgan by ensuring that the riverfront precinct 

remains an enjoyable and relevant place for the use of residents and visitors alike. 

The team consists of: 

Hilary Hamnett Martin Corbin Richard Wood 

landscape architect artist heritage architect 

Although we each have our own individual practices working in our 

specific areas of expertise we enjoy coming together for special 

projects such as the Morgan Riverfront precinct. 

Some of you will already have met Martin as he is working on the 

entrance signage for Cadell. If so, you will be aware of his ability 

to inspire individuals and groups to express the unique qualities of 

their town and community through integrated artworks such as the 

entrance signs. Hilary and Martin worked together on the 

Willaston Babies memorial which has already become a special 

place for many people. 

The bronze teddy is a particularly symbolic element of the 

Willaston project. 

Richard works as an architect in both heritage and contemporary 

fields of architecture, bringing a fresh approach to each project 

while maintaining a sensitive perspective on aspects of context 

and heritage. We have worked together in regional, remote and 

coastal areas. He has won many awards for his work, including a 

number for ‘site specific’ toilet facilities such as the Christies Beach 

‘surf board’ toilet. 

Hilary specialises in landscape design and site planning. As well 

as managing the project she will, with the help of the whole team, 

make sure that the precinct ‘works’, that it is easy to understand 

and use the various parts of the riverfront, that it is accessible for 

people of all ages and abilities and that conflicting uses are separated. 

As a team we hope to ensure that visitors return over and over again, each time to discover something different, 

new, inspiring or enthralling about Morgan.”

PS MARION HOMEWARD BOUND 

The historic paddle steamer ‘Marion’ has been slipped, repaired and polished and 

has made her way back to her home town of Mannum. How lucky was everyone to 

be given the opportunity to spend time aboard this lovely old boat once again? 

Those who joined her for a day or two on her voyage down river from Berri through to 

Blanchetown had a wonderful trip and enjoyed the tales and stories from the very 

knowledgeable Captain Trevor Bedford and his merry crew. Friday’s trip from Berri to 

Loxton tested the Captain and his crew with the wind playing havoc on the boat 

leaving Lock 4 but they seemed to enjoy the challenge. Although the weather was a 

trifle cool for the remainder of the days, it was exhilarating to be on our beautiful river 

and live a bit of history. Students from Morgan & Cadell Primary schools and 

several others grabbed the chance to travel back in time and see first hand how hard 

the firemen and engineers work to keep the steam up on these historic vessels. 

On her arrival in Morgan on Monday evening Channel 7 came to 

interview Peter Brazil-Smith and ‘The Wood Fairy’ Dave Prescott and 

the PS Marion and Morgan received excellent coverage during 

Friday’s news with views from the ground and overhead from the 

helicopter. Volunteers of the Morgan Museum and supporters were 

then treated to an evening cruise aboard the PS Marion by the Captain 

and his crew. The Murray River was like glass and everyone was 

thrilled to be aboard. Museum Chairman John Lindner presented 

Captain Trevor Bedford with a rare bottle of Port of Morgan Port as a 

memento and thank you to them all. 

Peter Brazil-Smith was Engineer of the last Murray River cargo boat, 

the PS “Murrabit”, and was onboard the PS Marion on her journey 

back to Mannum. Peter who now resides in Victoria and in to his 80’s 

was extremely excited to join the crew of the PS Marion to once again 

cruise the Murray. 

As the last Engineer on the PS “Murrabit” and a previous Engineer on 

the PS Marion, Peter had many stories to tell of his escapades with 

Murrabit Captain, John Weaver and their cargo trips from Morgan to 

Mildura in the late 1940’s. Like the Marion, the Murrabit was a wood 

fired steam-driven paddle steamer and Peter understands the extreme 

hardships of operating a vessel of this nature. 

On his last journey in 1951 Peter reflects, “it was near dusk and we 

had a strong following wind out of Morgan which I could see looking 

back was blowing a stream of sparks from the funnel ahead of the boat. This 

was most spectacular, rather like a giant Roman candle (which was probably 

some unburnt particles in the boiler). While I was taking all this in I suddenly 

noticed one of the bags of chaff stacked at the front was on fire, it had obviously 

caught alight from the funnel sparks. I immediately gave two short blasts on the 

whistle to alert John of the situation and waited for him to run up to the bow and 

douse the fire. There was no sign of John, so I gave a further two blasts on the 

whistle and then I noticed that the fire was spreading and was getting close to 

two 44 gallon drums. Still no sign of John, who I had not seen for half an hour or 

more, and I thought hell! He must have fallen overboard! 

I was just about to stop the engine and rushed down to the bow when John stuck his head 

around and said “how are things going?” He immediately rushed down and grabbed two 

buckets of water and soon the fire was out. Talking afterwards with John I realized that my 

two short blasts on the whistle didn’t signify a fire on board and he thought I must be alerting 

a small boat that was in our way”. 

Our thanks once again to the following for their assistance and for offering Morgan the 

opportunity to raise funds for the Morgan Riverfront Precinct Project with these day cruises.

SPIRITUAL HAPPENINGS AT THE LANDSEER 

A sign of the times? Until now the Landseer 

Museum has portrayed life as it was in early 

Morgan and its hinterland with one significant 

omission; the importance of religion and the 

Churches to the communities of those times. 

17 

To sit and watch the DVD in the Museum of the 

River and Morgan and it’s history, is to be 

constantly reminded that to most it provided not 

only a place to worship but also a place to meet 

and greet, care and share and, in small out of 

town communities, a place to teach. 

From the Church the Pastor, Priest, Rector or 

Minister went out to comfort, administer, teach and guide and sometimes argue. The Church was the centre of 

great Family Occasions; marriages, baptisms, confirmations and funerals with the Congregation dressed appropriately. 

Sunday was The Day of the Week when the 

buggies and horses were lined up outside the Church and inside the Choir was in full voice accompanied by 

the organ and the small children in Sunday School next door dutifully listening to Bible Stories or creating 

Biblical artwork. 

To correct the omission in the Landseer, a modest display has been created by the volunteers, including the 

ever busy Shed Men. Its impetus was a set of brass gas lamps found stored in the roof loft of St. Peter’s 

Anglican Church. These have been set into a replica of the wall and windows behind the altar at St. Peter’s. 

The history of carbide lamps, which preceded electricity, is itself fascinating. This plus the building of the 

church, with Mallyon, the son of the second licensee of Mallyon’s Public House at Weston Flat being its 

architect, is also there to see. Also the Burial Records of the Morgan Cemetery. . 

To complement the display, Keith and Betty 

Munchenberg have lent a pedal organ. 

(pictured right) 

John Lindner, Chairman of the Museum Board 

is hoping that the other Churches historic to 

Morgan may wish to lend or donate memorabilia 

of their times to be exhibited as well. 

He can be contacted at 85402281.

T.J.’s now an Adelaide hotshot, as he has been elevated to the Australian development squad. Tom 

Wickham (T.J.) could truly become one of our next Kookaburras. 

T.J. commented that “ I’m pretty stoked to be noticed by someone like him” referring to Australian 

Senior coach Ric Charlesworth “ I guess you could say it’s intimidating, but exciting at the same time”. 

We sincerely wish T.J. all the very best and the Morgan community will continue to follow his progress 

as one of our adopted sons. We will keep you up to date with any more news as soon as we can.

Well here we are on the downhill run to the end of 

another school year. As Term 4 begins, the students 

have another action packed few weeks ahead of them. 

Probably the highlight for this term is the school camps 

the students are about to embark on. As you all read 

this, the Reception, Year 1, Year 2 students will have 

just arrived back from 2 nights in the Adelaide Hills. The 

much anticipated Year 3-7 camp to Canberra begins on 

Nov 8 th where they will spend 4 nights in Canberra. 

Students will be flying and are very excited about their 

upcoming adventure. I will report all the action from both 

camps in the next issue! 

PS MARION CRUISE 

On the return voyage 

home to Mannum, the 

school students and 

parents were invited to 

board the PS Marion at 

Cadell Reserve and 

enjoy a lovely trip back 

to Morgan. Whilst aboard this historic paddle steamer, 

everyone enjoyed learning and viewing just how one of 

these majestic boats operate and as we neared Morgan, 

students were invited to have a steer of the boat. As we 

approached M organ wharf area, we saw the Channel 7 

helicopter land and they were filming our arrival and 

even interviewed a couple of students about the trip. It 

was a lovely cruise back to Morgan and everyone was 

grateful for the opportunity to ride this beautiful boat. 

YEAR 5/6/7 TECHNOLOGY PROJECT 

In Term 3, this class had to choose a biscuit recipe and 

then name it, design it, market it according to what age 

group they were targeting, advertise it and last of all 

make and sell them. The class made a total of $250-20 

that will contribute towards their end of year party. 

ACTIVE AFTER SCHOOL SPORT 

Again in Term 4, the Active After School Sport program 

(AASS) is continuing. The last 2 sessions have been 

gymnastics with Craig from the Waikerie Rec Centre. 

He brings down a variety of mats, springboards etc and 

designs a circuit of flips and rolls. This is always a 

popular activity. We are eagerly awaiting the warm 

weather to be able to get into some pool activities and 

then finish off the year with a trip of Ten Pin Bowling in 

Berri.

The Celebration lunch which grew! 

Our Jan recently turned sixty years old. ( Can we believe it, she looks so young! ) 

It was planned that a few friends would get together at The Terminus for a lunch to celebrate Jan's milestone. 26 

Over thirty friends arrived to honour a lovely person. 

Jan's tears flowed as she read loving tributes from friends. A gift basket of goodies had Jan emotional but happy 

as she displayed chocolates, and more chocolates ( does she like chocolate? ) A silver necklace, a scarf she 

loved, a bottle or two of the good drop and chocolate candles she almost ate on the spot and lots more were revealed, 

showing Jan's friends know her well. 

John surprised her with a complete set of Bessemer Cookware. Jan's considerable cooking skills will know no 

bounds now. 

How we love her, straight down the middle, a dry sense of humour, a rapport and compassion for everyone and a 

willingness to do anything for friends. 

Enjoy the best decade of your life, Jan. We all love you.

Cadell Primary School 

CWA England Day 

Students, staff and members from the Cadell CWA joined together on 

Wednesday 22nd September for England Day. Together they studied 

different aspects of England and enjoyed an English meal which consisted of 

bubble and squeak followed by a pastry called banberries. 

We thank the CWA for their time spent with the students. 

Dress Down Day 

Staff and students dressed down as a fundraiser for Downs Syndrome Association 

on Monday 13th 

September. Some of us went for comfort in hug 

boots and dressing gowns while others wore pyjamas' or tracksuits. A grand 

total of $164.00 was raised. Many thanks to everyone for supporting this 

worthwhile fundraiser. 

Dale Elliott 

On Thursday 2nd September we had a fantastic afternoon with Dale Elliott. 

He spent time talking about his accident, his fundraising trip to Darwin and his 

sky diving adventure. 

Dale also worked with students and adults on looking at their own 'Road to 

Success'. Areas we worked on were health, fitness, money, family fun, school 

work, me time, friends and helping others. 

Morgan Library Visit 

Lisa Walker, Librarian from the Morgan Library visited our school on Monday 

11th October. Lisa read the 

student's stories based on the theme 'Frozen Worlds' and organised follow up 

activities. We thank her for her time and work with the students. 

CSIRO Science Interaction Day 

Students and staff travelled to Morgan Primary School on Thursday 21st October 

to take part in a Science Interaction Day. The CSIRO team took sessions 

on 'Mini Chem' and 'Move It'. Students did various chemistry experiments, 

made sherbet, did activities to work out and see how certain objects move, did 

activities with Beebot a Robot, and enjoyed slushies and biscuits made by 

Morgan Primary students. A great day was had by all. 

T & D to Lenswood and Mylor Primary 

On Monday 18th October staff observed site practices in Maths at Lenswood 

Primary School and IT at Mylor Primary School. Next year these areas will 

possibly be on our Site Improvement Plan especially with the introduction of 

the Australian Curriculum - Maths. We have many new ideas to consider. 

The day was very worthwhile. 

BMX Track 

Some of our students attended a meeting at Morgan on Tuesday 19th 

October to give their ideas about the design of a BMX track which will be 

constructed using money from the Federal Government grant and Mid Murray 

Council workers volunteering their time. 

A beach volleyball court is also being organised for Cadell. Students have 

started fundraising for this latter project. 

These two initiatives will be great for our young people.

MAJOR SPONSOR FOR MANNUM’S ‘TAKE A RIVER TOUR’ FESTIVAL 

The waters are rising in Mannum and so is Santos Tour Down Under fever and excitement as this international 

cycle event is just around the corner. 

The Mid Murray Council is host to the Stage 2 Finish of the 2011 Santos Tour Down Under and is pleased to 

announce Mannum Waters as the major sponsor of Mannum’s ‘Take a River’ Tour festival. 

Mannum Waters is South Australia’s first residential marina of its kind on the River Murray. The marina will be a 

world-class development in the township of Mannum. 

Stage 2 of the 2011 Santos Tour Down Under will commence in Tailem Bend and travel through the Adelaide 

Hills, Tungkillo, Palmer and enter Mannum via Sedan, Male, Dollard, Gass, Long Gully and Purnong Roads and 

lead in to the finish under the grand Santos Tour Down Under arch in Mannum’s main street. 

“We have formulated an extensive programme of events in conjunction with the Stage 2 Finish in Mannum and 

are extremely excited to have secured ‘Mannum Waters’ as the major sponsor of Mannum’s Take a River Tour 

festival”, said Chief Executive Officer, Dean Gollan. 

It has been three years since Mannum last hosted a Santos Tour Under stage and in true community style, 

support events will invite residents and youth from across the Mid Murray Council and Murraylands regions to 

participate in this prestigious event. 

Dean Gollan said, ‘The success of the 2008 Santos Tour Down Under Regional Dance Spectacular in Mannum 

attracted over 100 students from across the region as far as Cadell and Morgan. It is from this success, that we 

are formulating a series of community events in conjunction with the Santos Tour Down Under such as the 

Murray River Choir to showcase our artistic and cultural talents on the world wide stage”. 

Mannum Waters will present the festival’s Murray River Choir and After Tour Concert/Fireworks Display. 

The Mannum Waters Murray River Choir will celebrate all things Australian and profile our great waterway, the 

Murray River. This artistic presentation in ‘Qantas’ choir tradition is sure to capture the hearts of all spectators 

in readiness for the Stage 2 Finish of the 2011 Santos Tour Down Under and is hoped to attract over 100 

singers and flag raisers for this outstanding support event. 

Mannum Waters director David Potter said the festival will be a fantastic community event which Mannum 

Waters is proud to support. 

“The festival is a wonderful opportunity for the community and visitors alike to come together and celebrate the 

final stage of a world-renowned cycling tour with the back drop of the beautiful River Murray”, he said. 

“We’re delighted to be working with the Mid Murray Council”. 

“The Santos Tour Down Under provides us with the opportunity to market our diverse Mid Murray Council 

region and profile the Murray River after three years of devastating drought. The event provides the Mid Murray 

Council with an occasion to bring our whole council community together to join visitors and celebrate the many 

attractions the Murraylands and Riverland has to offer and the thrill of international cycling in our own backyard”, 

added Dean Gollan. 

“The Santos Tour Down Under is more than a bike race, it’s a celebration of cycling, and Mannum’s Take a 

River Tour festival will be a great addition to the events taking place in January,” says Santos Tour Down 

Under Race Director Mike Turtur. 

“When the Tour comes to town, Mannum will be an exciting place to be and I’m sure thousands will flock to the 

area to watch the racing and enjoy the ‘Take a River Tour’ festival”. 

“The Mid Murray Council has really got behind the Santos Tour Down Under and it’s 

a credit to their hard work and that of the local community that they have created an 

event like the Take a River tour festival that will create, attract and entertain 

locals and visitors to the region”. 

Mannum’s ‘Take a River Tour’ festival brought to you by Mannum Waters is a 

celebrating of international cycling, community camaraderie and cultural events for 

everyone across the Mid Murray region and visitors to enjoy. 

‘Take a River Tour’ to Mannum brought to you by Mannum Waters and enjoy their 

one day festival on Wednesday 19 th January in association with the Stage 2 Finish of 

the 2011 Santos Tour Down Under.
