Birthday Sale Now On! 

leurieu Eye-Care is celebrating 7 

F years of service to the 

community this month. 

In August of 2004, we opened our 

doors for the first time and we have 

built up the optometry practice from a 

one-day a week practice to a 3 day a 

week practice. 

All going well, we should be a 5 day 

a week practice within the next few 

years. 

Fleurieu Eye-Care would like to 

thank all of you in the community and 

surrounding districts for supporting 

our fledgling business and we invite 

you to come and celebrate our 

birthday with us by presenting the 

voucher in this months issue (above). 

We specialize in ZEISS spectacle 

lenses which are made and 

manufactured here in Lonsdale, 

Adelaide. We are proudly South 

Australian owned and operated. 

We have invested in the latest 

technology so that we can look after 

all your ocular health needs without 

having to travel into Adelaide. 

We have a retinal camera that allows 

us to examine the eyes like never 

before. This allows us to see things 

that would be too difficult to spot 

with the naked eye. This means there 

is no chance of us missing any health 

issues in your eyes like early Macular 

Degeneration. It also allows us to 

compare one visit to the next and spot 

even the ☺most minute changes that 

occur between eye-tests. So no more 

relying on my slightly awkward 

artwork. 

For all the diabetics in the area, we 

are able to check your eyes for any 

diabetic changes so no need to see 

that eye-specialist in Adelaide 

anymore. We are able to do it all here 

for you and we provide full colour 

photos and a report to your GP. 

We also have a visual-field analyser 

and a GDx machine which allows us 

to check your eyes for glaucoma and 

other neurological diseases. 

Optometry is also now changing in 

the next 3 years to allow Optometrists 

to prescribe and treat for eyeconditions 

such as glaucoma. This 

will take the pressure off the eyespecialists 

in town and hopefully give 

them more time for more serious eye 

issues and cut down hospital waiting 

lists etc etc. 

Long Lunch at Lilla’s

Editor’s Comments 

i Readers, 

H Sealink had some dramas during August and 

Kangaroo Island had no ferry service for the best 

part of a week. As Murphy’s Law would dictate, one 

ferry was having its scheduled service and 

maintenance and the other one decided that it would 

be a good opportunity to break down in no small 

way. Parts and engineers were flown in and a few 

days and many stressing moments later, Sealink 

ruled the waves again. 

The 129th Yankalilla Show is on Saturday 1st 

October. Show your support for this wonderful 

community event. See page 8. 

The SALA Festival was on during August and 

Normanville was showcasing artistic and musical 

talents throughout the district. See page 3. 

Letters to the editor cover several topics, including 

the Norfolk Island pine tree issue for the main street 

of Normanville. There seems to be a growing 

number of residents against the council proposal to 

plant Norfolk Pines. 

Rapid Bay Cricket Club is celebrating their 40th 

year this season. See page 15 for an informative 

overview of those 40 years. 

The Minnawarra Biodivesity Project is on again for 

the spring survey and they are look for volunteers. 

See page 25. 

Jean Collins is retiring from the Senior Citizens Op 

Shop where she has been the volunteer manager for 

the past 10 months. Jean’s professionalism and 

dedication were commendable. On behalf of the 

community thanks for a job well done. 

So, until next issue… 

Cheers!

RIP Garry Nixon 

2/6/1963 - 8/8/2011 

any people throughout this district and 

M beyond have fond memories of Garry 

Nixon, often through the many community 

organisations he was involved with over the 

years. Garry’s sense of community spirit 

and the fact that he was always willing to 

help out, will always be remembered by 

those who knew him. Involved in Apex, 

Lions, Surf Life Saving, Yankalilla Golf 

Club and even chucking papers out of a 

vehicle in the wee hours of the morning - 

sometimes picking up wayward teenagers 

and delivering them home as well. 

The Nixon family - Annie, Jesse, Rhys, 

Wade and Emma - express their heartfelt 

thanks for the kind thoughts, cards, flowers 

and messages from the lovely people in our 

caring community. His love of music lives 

on through his sons Rhys and Wade. Garry 

was the ultimate family man and will be 

greatly missed.

s from Monday 5th September, Bridget 

A would like to welcome Carol Kretschmer to 

Normanville Physiotherapy Clinic. Carol 

recently did a locum for Bridget, so is already 

familiar with our practice. She will be consulting 

Mondays and is sure to be an invaluable member 

of our team. Following is a few words of 

introduction from her. 

“Hello there, my name is Carol Kretschmer. I 

am a ’50 something’ mother, grandmother, 

physiotherapist and Reiki Master, now living at 

lovely Aldinga Beach. 

My longstanding career as a physio has been 

largely in my own private practice in the city 

limits (North Adelaide and Unley). I have 

specialized experience in the field of women’s 

health (pregnancy related disorders and pelvic 

floor rehabilitation). More recently I have 

studied Reiki therapy, a gentle but effective form 

of Energy Healing which balances the body, 

offering relaxation and stress relief, and 

supplements the body’s own ability to heal itself 

on many levels. 

My own personal battle with a chronic (auto 

immune) illness in recent years has led me to 

embrace a broader, more holistic approach to 

healing in my life and in my work. 

Now that my health is returning, I look forward to 

joining Bridget and her team in her 

physiotherapy practice at Yankalilla.” 

For appointments with Carol or Bridget, please

Norfolk Pines not for 


uth Eisner and I would like to thank all of 

you who put your names on our petition to 

the Yankalilla Council about not planting Norfolk 

Island Pines in the main street of 

Normanville. Together with another petition, 

there were over 350 signatures. Surely this 

groundswell of opinion from residents can not be 

ignored by Council? The petition has now been 

submitted in time for the next Council meeting on 

August 18, 2011. 

We would also like to thank the editors of 

Yankalilla Regional News for being willing to 

publish our letters over the last few months. This 

helped inform residents of the issues at stake. As 

well, thank you to all the businesses and public 

places in Normanville and Yankalilla which 

allowed us to place our petitions in their 

shops. This is a good example of everybody 

working together for the general good.

L e t t e r s 

Climate Change 

, along with other readers of your otherwise 

informative magazine, was disappointed to see a 

copy of an unsigned email regarding climate 

change in the last issue of the Yankalilla Regional 

News (p. 12). Whilst I don’t wish to argue against 

each of the opinions expressed in the article/email 

and would defend the right of individuals to 

express those opinions, at the very least people 

with the courage of their convictions would have 

included their name. In addition, if the statements 

made are to be taken seriously, then proper, 

documented references to the “information” 

should also have been included. 

As the document stands, it is little more than a rant 

about the proposed carbon tax. Many of the 

statements made have more to do with sustainable 

living than climate change. Whilst we are 

powerless to do anything about volcanic eruptions 

or raging bushfires which have been with us since 

time immemorial, we can reduce our impact on 

the environment by taking small measures to 

ensure we reduce our reliance on finite resources. 

A world population of more than 6 billion people 

must have a very significant impact on the 

environment/climate. As a wealthy country we can 

take steps to ensure that industry takes a more 

sustainable approach to its production by forcing 

the big polluters to limit their impact on the

environment. Whilst it will no doubt have an 

effect on our hip pockets, at least Australia can’t 

be accused of not taking steps to reign in pollution 

and carbon emission and who knows, we as 

individuals might think more carefully about the 

way we use resources if there is an additional cost 

incurred. 

And before I am accused of being a mouthpiece 

for the carbon tax or the Gillard government, I am 

not certain that the proposed scheme is the best 

there is. It’s a pity that other viable models have 

not been seriously discussed, but at this stage it’s 

the only one on offer. Australia must make a start 

sometime to reduce its impact on climate and the 

environment. Whether a carbon tax is the best way 

of doing this, only time will tell.

I have 

Depressing religious 

views 

just read the August issue of the 

Yankalilla News, including the coldly 

depressing article by Barry Steel on page 17. 

I personally found Mr Steel’s article distasteful 

and needlessly critical of other religions. He also 

implied that only Christadelphian teaching is valid 

and everyone else’s views are wildly inaccurate. 

The superior arrogance of the item was astounding 

and I can only guess at whatever possessed Mr 

Steel to pen such a pessimistic and negative 

discourse. Perhaps he fondly believed that normal 

Christians would be so impressed with his learned 

bible references they would feel compelled to join 

the Christadelphians and forsake the alleged 

corrupt teaching of their own personal faiths. 

Should a hesitant reader be looking for an 

uplifting church offering empathy, love and 

compassion, my advice would be to continue 

searching. However, if the article in question 

raised a desire for more of the same, they would 

not be disappointed with the Christadelphians.

Outcomes of the Community Consultation conducted by the 

Southern Fleurieu Positive Ageing Taskforce 

uring the months of March, April and May 

D 2011 the Southern Fleurieu Positive 

Ageing Taskforce engaged Dr Anne van Loon to 

conduct a broad ranging consultation with older 

people living on the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula 

and Kangaroo Island. The consultation processes 

included both face to face conversations and the 

use of a replied paid survey which was available 

at many locations throughout each community. 

Anne’s report is now finalised. 

The main findings are: 

• Some people have difficulty in accessing 

services due to lack of appropriate transport, 

the high cost of some services (especially for 

self funded retirees), and the difficulty of 

finding the “right” person to answer their 

questions; 

• Loneliness and isolation of living alone is 

problematic, especially for those who cannot 

drive; 

• Funding of some services is too inflexible 

and cannot provide assistance such as house 

cleaning or gardening; 

• There are long waiting times in most areas 

NORMANVILLE 

Edward Avenue 

for GP appointments; 

• Accessing metropolitan health services can 

be difficult due to transport issues, costs of 

parking and inappropriate appointment 

times; 

• Numerous examples were provided of 

people who had experienced inadequate 

discharge plans from metropolitan and rural 

hospitals. They had inadequate support and 

care in place at home on discharge and were 

unable to care for themselves when they 

arrived home; and 

• Across all regions there was concern about 

safe access and mobility due to dangerous, 

uneven, sloping, or absent footpaths, lack of 

pedestrian crossings and difficulty crossing 

busy main roads to get to services such as 

shops. 

The report makes a number of recommendations 

for improving information flow about services to 

the community. They include: 

• The provision of regular articles in the local 

newspaper; 

St John Auxiliary of Yankalilla 

t John auxiliary of Yankalilla would like to 

S remind you that if you have any bottles or 

cans at home and want the proceeds donated to 

St John in Yankalilla, call Bill on 85583107 and

with the day and all the patrons who bought our 

scones and supported Red Cross. We made 

$438.85 which will go to a good cause through 

Red Cross. It was lovely to meet our Red Cross 

baby, Judd Thorn and family. Our September 

meeting on the 5th, to be held at the Uniting

Enquiries to Coralie Law on 85582428 or any 

members. 

• Information brochures through direct mail; 

• Community forums; and 

• Provision of a regular standard newsletter 

highlighting new action/services. 

The next steps will be for the Taskforce to 

develop an action plan to respond to the 

concerns raised by the older people who were 

consulted. Specific attention will be paid to 

improving information flow and communication 

about the services available in the region and 

how to access them.

August session. This time our versatile 

tutor was wearing her Pastel Bonnet’. 

Rose talked about different types of 

pastels and paper and answered many 

interesting questions from the members. 

The subject of her demonstration was 

the sunlight coming through a rock gap 

in Ormiston Gorge. She placed her 

paper in the ‘portrait’ position to 

emphasize the height of her chosen 

subject. Rose made a rough drawing of 

the subject and then proceeded to fill in 

the darks, browns, reds and yellows of 

the rock surfaces, working in between 

the tree shaped and the light sky line. 

Roe then concentrated on the trees, 

trunk, branches and leaf canopy clearly 

showing light and shade by using 

greens, blue, white, purple, pink and 

yellows pastels and very occasionally 

black. The contrast between the 

standing rocks the splash of sunlight 

between then and the rocks and flora in 

foreground brought the whole scene to 

life. Rose’s work is always positive and 

strong. She works with bold strokes 

using strong colours and very rarely 

blends her pastels. After lunch Rose 

went round to help members when 

required. The session was most 

enjoyable with members pleased with 

what they had achieved. 

During the July session we had a 

‘Challenge’ for those who did not join 

the water colour group and with a little 

arm twisting on my part, Rose agreed to 

judge to judge the efforts. After a brief 

critique of the five paintings, Diana was 

declared the winner and received the 

prize of $20. We hope that she spent it 

wisely, congratulations Diana. Other 

aspects of Rose Gartelman’s work can 

be seen on display at Leonards Mill. 

Next month is a very special session to 

help and encourage our members to 

enter their work for the ‘Yankalbald 

Portrait Competition’ in October.

What We Have Learned in 2,064 years 

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should 

be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the 

assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People 

must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." - Cicero - 55 BC

two models - elderly mail and young 

female. Although George will be 

working in oils (none smelly medium) 

the techniques he will be teaching could 

be adapted to others mediums and the 

information given will be of great value 

to all.

ITEMS OF INTEREST 

Operation Poach 

peration Poach is cracking down 

on stock thieves, with police from 

every rural Local Service Area out to 

identify live-stock poachers. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Sue Shearer 

from the Hills/Fleurieu Local Service 

Area says “the operation, which was 

launched recently, is a long term 

strategic approach to managing and 

coordinating dedicated criminal 

investigations throughout rural Local 

Service Areas.” 

“We will be visiting sale yard 

proprietors to establish contacts and 

encourage feedback to Police regarding 

stock theft crime.” 

“SAPol hopes to create partnerships 

with people in the cattle and sheep 

industry for the transfer of information 

to Police.” 

“If someone sees a truck full of sheep or 

cattle in unusual circumstances note the 

time, registration number and location, 

it could turn out to be all above board 

but its better that we are made aware of 

it.” 

Stock thefts cost Australia millions of 

dollars annually. It also increases the 

risk of stolen stock with fraudulent 

health status papers entering the market, 

which can potentially harm our 

international trade. 

Operation Poach will give the problem a 

broad, coordinated approach across all 

rural local service areas, rather than 

concentrating efforts through a 

traditional task force, or stock squad 

approach. 

Particularly vulnerable to theft are 

sheep. Due to their massive numbers, 

they are not entered on the national data 

base that tracks cattle from birth to 

destruction, plus they bring a good price 

and are relatively easy to dispose of. 

Operation Poach will run for 12 months. 

Anyone with information about stock 

theft is asked to please report it to police 

on BankSA Crime Stoppers 1800 333 

000. 

P 

Teens fall victim to sexting 

olice are concerned about the 

growing prevalence of sexting 

among young people - particularly 

teenagers who do not understand the 

long-term consequences of this

behaviour. 

Sexting is the act of sending provocative 

or sexual photos, messages or videos 

using mobile phones. 

Teenagers of today need to be aware 

that the consequences of sexting have 

the potential to surface unexpectedly in 

their adult lives. 

“It isn’t simply a matter of changing 

your name by deed poll later in your 

adult life to escape the association with 

these images. These images can carry 

what amounts to a digital fingerprint,” 

Detective Senior Sergeant Barry 

Blundell from SAPOL’s Electronic 

Crime Section said. 

A common scenario occurs when 

teenagers send naked pictures to each 

other while in a relationship. When the 

relationship has ended, one party 

forwards the photos to others – or 

distributes them via their social network 

of online “friends”, that can number in 

hundreds. 

“The increase in adolescent sexting is a 

result of a growing number of teenagers 

owning smart phones – or mobile 

phones equipped with cameras, video 

and internet access,” Detective Blundell 

said. 

Under state child pornography laws, it is 

a crime for anyone to transmit or 

possess naked pictures of a person aged 

under 16. For teens, this includes taking 

and sending images of your own body. 

Those found guilty of making and 

sharing child pornography face penalties 

of up to 10 years in prison and possible 

registration on the sex offender registry. 

For victims, particularly teens, there can 

be long-term damage and permanent 

consequences. 

“Once these images are out there, you 

have no control as to who will access 

them or when." Detective Blundell said. 

“These images may be viewed by 

thousands of people across various 

social media networks where 

paedophiles can download them and add 

them to their collection.” 

Young people are high-end users of 

Police Report 

technology, and often are more 

technically savvy than their parents. 

“Children don’t understand the 

consequences of sexting and parents 

don’t understand the technology,” 

Detective Blundell said. 

Some teens have more than one mobile 

phone and more than one Facebook 

account – they may have one Facebook 

account that their parents can access and 

monitor, and another secret Facebook 

account exclusively for their online 

‘friends’. 

“We are certainly seeing more 

occurrences of sexting – however, we 

know that teenage victims are often 

reluctant to report this crime,” Detective 

Blundell said. 

“Instances have occurred where police, 

in the process of identifying the owner 

of lost property, have found these 

images on mobile phones and charges 

have been laid.” 

In response to this issue, collaborative 

learning approach between teens, 

parents, schools and SAPOL is taking 

place across the state. SAPOL works 

with local schools to provide workshops 

and presentations using lesson plans and 

other resources designed by ACMA 

through the cybersmart website – http:// 

www.cybersmart.gov.au/

I 

The Teachings of Jesus Christ corrupted by the Church! 

believe in the August edition we provided sufficient 

information to allow you to see that Church teaching of 

the earth being destroyed and human reward being in 

heaven as being a complete concocted fallacy. You would 

have noticed in the last issue that all of the scriptures 

quoted define the location of the future divine kingdom to 

be established as being ON earth and UNDER heaven. 

This fact is also important in view of current notions 

concerning the so-called rapture. 

Vast Changes to Occur 

Christ’s reign on earth will not be established without vast 

and dramatic changes in the earth. The nations will not 

readily submit to his rule, but will be humbled by the 

outpouring of divine judgments in the wars of 

Armageddon and its aftermath. The result will be a 

political earthquake without precedence in history. The 

present governmental order will be completely overthrown 

to make way for Christ’s New World Order. Current 

theories will be discarded whether they are communistic, 

capitalistic, socialistic or democratic, and will be replaced 

by a new, hitherto untried, system among Gentiles: the 

theocratic. This will comprise a benevolent dictatorship 

that will elevate God in the considerations of mankind, 

whilst fully providing for the needs of humanity. It will be 

established upon the basis of truth, thus bringing the facts 

concerning divine revelation clearly to the attention of all 

mankind. By such means, God’s purpose in creation will 

be fulfilled, and "all the earth shall be filled with the glory 

of the Lord" (Numbers 14:21).But though the 

establishment of Christ’s rule on earth will instigate a 

dramatic disruption to present conditions, and major, 

worldwide changes, the so-called rapture will not be one 

of these. As we have noted above, it is not a Biblical word. 

Why then is it promoted so enthusiastically by a large 

proportion of Christendom? It is because they have failed 

to comprehend the basic teaching concerning Christ’s 

second coming as outlined above, and have been led astray 

by the wrong interpretation of a single passage of 

Scripture. 

The Rapture: A Human Fantasy 

It is claimed that the doctrine of the rapture is taught in the 

statement of 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18. Paul states: "But I 

would not have you to be ignorant, concerning them which 

are asleep [i.e. dead believers], that ye sorrow not, even as 

others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus 

died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in 

Jesus, will God bring with him. For this we say unto you 

by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and 

remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent [lit. 

"Precede"] them which are asleep. For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of 

the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in 

Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to 

meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the 

Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words ". 

This statement of the apostle Paul is a blend of literal and 

figurative expressions which combine, very beautifully, to 

express the purpose of God toward those who seek to 

follow His Son. Unfortunately, confusion has resulted in 

the minds of some, because they have failed to distinguish 

the literal from the figurative, and therefore they set 

Scripture against Scripture, and make it artificially 

contradict itself. For example, the apostle describes a 

meeting of the Lord "in the air", and concludes, "so shall

we ever be with the Lord." But other passages of Scripture 

(some of which we have already mentioned) clearly reveal 

that immortalised believers shall "reign on the 

earth" (Revelation 5:10), and not in heaven (as some 

interpret the words “in the air”). Indeed, it is specifically 

stated that the dominion and sphere of rule will be ‘under 

the heaven’ (Daniel 7:27) 

Voice of Command 

Consider some other teachings concerning Paul’s words in 

1Thessalonians 4:13-18. He declared that the Lord will 

return from heaven with "a shout, the voice of the 

archangel, and the trump of God", and the dead in Christ 

shall rise. From this, some imagine that the Lord will 

return with a literal "shout", so loud and penetrating as to 

"wake the dead", but this conflicts with other statements 

that show that he will return "as a thief" (Revelation 

16:15), and a thief certainly does not loudly announce his 

presence upon arrival! 

The word rendered "shout" in Greek is ‘keleusma’, which 

signifies a call, or summons of authority, not necessarily 

audible except in a special way to those to whom it is 

specifically directed. In The Septuagint Greek Old 

Testament, the same word is used in Proverbs 30:27, "The 

locusts... at THE WORD OF Command march in rank." 

The "word of command" (keleusma) which the locusts 

obey, is the voice of 

Instinct, and is only "heard" intuitively by those for whom 

it is intended. The "shout" of 1Thessalonians 4:16 is a 

divine word of command which will cause dead believers 

to live again, and, certainly, will not be heard audibly by 

others for whom it is not intended. An angel’s whisper can 

wake the dead, when breathed by the command of He who 

is "the resurrection and the life". This would be a "great 

sound" of remarkable power, though inaudible to the 

natural ears of mankind. The word really defines the voice 

of God’s spirit acting upon His people who are waiting in 

the "sleep" of the grave (cp. John 11:11-13). So it was that 

at the epoch of creation, God spoke, and the earth brought 

forth to His glory (Psalm 33:6-9); so at this moment of a 

"new creation", Christ shall speak and those only will 

“hear", to whom his words of life will be addressed: "The 

hour is coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear 

his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good 

unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil 

unto the resurrection of condemnation " (John 5:28-29).

Rapid Bay & Districts Cricket Club Celebrates 40th Year 

his year the Rapid Bay & Districts Cricket 

T Club proudly celebrates it's 40th 

anniversary. The club has a genuine grass roots 

history having been founded from the remnants 

of the Second Valley Colts and Delamere Colts 

Cricket Clubs in 1971. 

Over the generations, the club has produced many 

fine cricketers, including Delamere local left arm 

fast bowler Gary Putland who is a regular fixture in 

the South Australian Redbacks team. 

The genesis of the club dates back to the 1930's but 

officially began as Rapid Bay & Districts in 1971. 

Prior to that Mostyn Chenoweth and Glanville 

Bartlett created the Delamere Colts, who without a 

home ground of their own, played their home 

games at the Yankalilla Oval under coach Richard 

Murray who was a school teacher at Delamere. The 

first boys to represent the new club were: 

Robin Putland (c) Rodney Wenham 

Peter Nicholls Gary Wenham 

Peter Larkham Bob Hunt 

Brian Bennett Peter Barton 

Alex Christie Bruce Paxton 

Raymond Hawke 

Their first outing on October 12 1968 was against 

Yankalilla at Yankalilla and was a tough initiation 

to the game, most of the boys having never played 

before. Delamere were bowled out for 54, 50 of 

those runs coming from the bat of captain Robin 

Putland, with Peter Larkham scoring 1, and the 

Yank bowlers chipping in with 3 sundries. The 

other nine batsmen were all dismissed for ducks! 

Yankalilla went on to win the game despite 

impressive debut bowling figures of 4/16 from 

Brian Bennett. Remarkably, the two sides met again 

in the grand final that year, the more experienced 

Yankalilla again prevailing. 

The club clearly showed promise and over the next 

three seasons continued to 

compete in the local 

competition. Meanwhile in 

the 1960's, BHP, operators 

of the limestone quarry at 

Rapid Bay, built the Rapid 

Bay oval with turf wicket 

for social use by it's quarry 

employees. In September 1971 the Delamere Colts, in 

conjunction with BHP overseer Snow Anderson, 

undertook to lay a permanent wicket at the ground, 

and the Rapid Bay & Districts Cricket Club was born. 

The first official games at the ground were played on 

October 16 1971 against Yankalilla, with colts in the 

morning and B Grade in the afternoon. The B Grade 

team was as follows: 

Bob Hunt Brian Bennett 

Mostyn Chenoweth (vc) Gary Wenham 

David Hodge Des Lord (c) 

Alex Christie Bruce Bennett 

Barry Ellison Trevor Glynn 

Trevor Hopgood 

This time the Des Lord led Rapid Bay had more 

success. Lord top scored with 51 n.o. in a total of 114, 

and Rapid Bay bowled Yankalilla out for 51, David 

Hodge doing most of the damage with the ball (3/14) 

and Des himself returning tidy figures of 2/10. 

The clubs first premiership came three years later in 

1974 against Goolwa. The team list (pictured below) 

was: 

Dick Hamlyn (c) Brian Bennett 

Bob Hunt Jon Weise 

Martin Montgomery Mostyn Chenoweth 

Peter Nicholls Des Lord 

Peter Morris Rick Murton 

‘Blue’ Elliot Linda Chenoweth 

(scorer) 

Goolwa batted first and made a formidable 292 despite 

best efforts of Rapid Bay captain Dick Hamlyn 

(5/103), Des Lord (2/31), and Brian Bennett (2/42). 

Rapid Bay chased down the total thanks to a big 142 

n.o. from the bat of Dick Hamlyn after being dropped 

early in his innings, Bob Hunt with 57 and Peter 

Nicholls with 50. More premierships followed with 

Colts winning in 1989, 1991 and 1995 and C Grade in 

1981 and 1992, together with 8 runners up honours 

between all grades. 

The Rapid Bay & Districts Cricket Club would like to 

publicly thank all past and present members and 

supporters of the club. We invite you to join us in 

celebrating our 40th year; renew old memberships, 

acquaintances, and perhaps introduce a new face to the 

club. New players are needed for the forthcoming 

season and all the usual social events planned, with a 

formal function to recognise the clubs rich history later 

in the season. For the first time in years, the club is 

seeking sponsorship from local businesses in the 

district, and welcomes any enquiries to Michael 

Wickham on 85 985 241. We plan to keep the public 

informed on match results via this publication, and 

look forward to seeing you down the Bay from 

September! 

Scott Bennett, 

with thanks to Robin Putland, Brian Bennett and 

Aaron Bennett for research and recollections.

Yankalilla Historical Society 

ne hundred and seventy-five 

O years ago, on the 8th of 

September, 1836, after calling in at 

Kangaroo Island, Captain Light 

landed at Rapid Bay. Named in 

honour of the ship which had brought 

him here, Captain Light was 

“enchanted” with the area, its “fine 

stream of fresh water and rich soil” 

beyond his expectations. Dr. John 

Woodforde (1810-66), who had been 

appointed as a surgeon on board the 

Rapid, kept a daily diary; much of 

what we know of those early days is 

gleaned from it, some of his 

comments showing us his reactions, 

such as, “…the cape … consists of 

beautiful vallies (sic) and 

corresponding hills. The soil is very 

good and the grass growing in its 

natural state is abundant”. Two days 

later the ship’s officers dug a piece of 

ground and planted seeds for a supply 

of vegetables. Woodforde also 

observed that there were many areas 

of pasturage that seemed likely to 

fatten livestock. 

Soon after his arrival Captain Light 

began surveying the peninsula, his 

excursions eventually taking him 

north to Holdfast Bay (Glenelg), and 

eventually to Adelaide, Woodforde 

noting that Holdfast Bay was given 

its name after one of Light’s 

exploratory groups had ridden out 

two severe gales while moored there. 

Throughout his stay in this area Dr. 

Woodforde went hunting and fishing 

in order to help keep up a supply of 

fresh meat, and, in his diary, 

described the fish and birds that were 

new to him, some of them good 

eating, others poor. On some of his 

excursions he was accompanied by 

Captain Field who later took up land 

in this district. 

On the 8th of October Dr. Woodforde 

and his companions, on board the 

“Rapid”, arrived at Yankalilla to pick 

up two native women who had gone 

on ahead to hunt game, in which they 

were unsuccessful. Woodforde had 

written in his diary that though the 

women may have suffered from 

hunger they were not so badly off 

“always having the means of kindling 

a fire.” 

On October 12th Woodforde wrote 

that the natives they had left to care 

for the garden had proved honest and 

were there to welcome them back and 

claim their reward, the garden 

“looking well and the seeds having 

nearly all come up.” On the 13th he 

spent his first night ashore, and on 

the 14th was entertained when the 

natives danced a corroboree, which 

he described as “chiefly characterised 

by feats of activity and violent 

contortions of muscle having nothing 

of grace in its composition … they 

dance it to a very monotonous and 

harsh kind of vocal music, constantly 

repeating the same words.” 

Throughout his diary Woodforde’s 

view of the “first owners” of the 

district are positive, as in “…the 

Cape Jervis tribe have evinced much 

goodwill and not the slightest 

disposition to thieve. They are very 

useful to us fetching our wood and 

working in any way with great 

cheerfulness.” 

Meanwhile, the Rapid had been 

sailing backwards and forwards 

bringing surveyors and labourers 

from Kangaroo Island. The party 

then divided, some, including Dr. 

Woodforde, remaining here, the 

others sailing on to Holdfast Bay. 

On 7th of November Dr. Woodforde 

was called to attend Mrs. Hoare, the 

wife of a labourer, when she gave 

birth to a boy, the first white child 

born in the colony. At Dr. 

Woodforde’s request the child was 

named Rapid. By mid November the 

thermometer was rising to 118deg., 

and the flies were driving everyone 

mad. By 4th of December some

within the group were showing signs 

of scurvy which Dr. Woodforde 

treated by distributing the potatoes a 

sealing cutter had brought over from 

Kangaroo Island. On 27th December 

the guns of the Buffalo were heard as 

it made its way up the gulf. 

Dr. Woodforde also delivered the 

first white girl born in the colony, 

Fanny Lipson Finniss, when, on 2nd 

January, he attended Mrs. Finniss, the 

wife of Boyle Finniss, an assistant 

surveyor to Colonel Light . When 

the news that Governor Hindmarsh 

had arrived at Adelaide reached 

them, Dr. Woodforde could not 

consent to Mrs. Finniss taking the 

journey for at least eight days more. 

The group divided into two parties, 

Dr. Woodforde remaining. On 17th 

January he accompanied Mr. Finniss 

and his party on a walk to the high 

land above Cape Jervis where they 

enjoyed the view across to Kangaroo 

Island. On January 22nd he and his 

group sailed on the Cygnet to 

Holdfast Bay which by that time was 

becoming known as Glenelg. From 

there he walked to Adelaide, and 

back, pleased with Colonel Light’s 

selection of its site.

Community Bus Service 

pring is officially here and the 

S Tourist season is on our 

doorstep. The year ahead is critical to 

the future of this service. At present it 

is not being supported as well as 

public opinion and response led us to 

believe it would be - at its inception. 

You may not think this service has 

anything to do with you, but it does. 

There are people in the community 

who need the service. Some already 

access it on a regular basis. Some 

would like to do so but need a little 

encouragement from a friend or 

neighbour to start, it is always about 

numbers. On a financial plan it is the 

smallest number possible. With the 

bus it is also about the least number

Celebrating with our newest ‘Aussies’ 

here was excitement at Inman Quilters when 

T member Linda Morris, together with her 

husband Keith and daughter Claire, became 

Australian Citizens on Friday 12th August 2011. 

Linda and her family arrived in Victor Harbor in 

January 2007 from Johannesburg, South Africa 

and Linda soon became involved in the 

community. As well as joining Inman Quilters 

and her local church, Linda became involved 

with the Cancer Support and Resource Group 

where, until recently, she carried out the duties 

of Treasurer.

At their meeting on Tues 16th August, Inman 

Quilters group decided to surprise Linda with an 

“Australian” morning tea. The church hall at 

Inman Valley was decorated with Australian 

flags and vases of wattle adorned the morning 

tea table with lamingtons, pumpkin scones and 

Iced VoVo biscuits forming part of the spread. 

But the surprise was on the group as Linda 

arrived laden with vegemite sandwiches, small 

meat pies, tomato sauce, FIVE different flavors 

of Tim Tams, amongst other bits and pieces and, 

her very first pavlova which I can personally 

report was excellent!! So morning tea turned 

into a very long lunch. 

We congratulate Linda, Keith and Claire and 

welcome them as our “newest Aussies”.

Fleurieu Horse & Pony Club 

Who remembers “Millie”? 

By Nigel Duncan 

irstly well done to our members 

F (new and old) for rallying 

together to make our August rally a 

success. Jacky and Holly were faced 

with there very first rally as rally 

day coordinators and did an amazing 

job. Even with turning up and 

realising we were down one 

instructor the girls did a fantastic job 

of recruiting helpers on the ground 

and the day was a complete success 

with everyone stepping up to help 

out be it in the kitchen or instructing 

groups on the ground. From all 

reports everyone had a great time 

and we even managed to feed 

everyone which was great. A big 

thank you to the dads in the kitchen. 

What would we do without you 

(Gary, Darren, Bob, Paul and 

James). The guys are always on 

hand from the start of the day with 

cleaning, preparing, cooking and 

even serving all our hungry lot. 

Thanks to Tanya, Katrina and Sam 

for helping with instruction. The 

riders enjoyed flatwork, games 

training and some mock hacking 

pointers. The lessons were 

invaluable as many of our riders 

used what was practiced at the 

recent Zone Finals at Monarto on the 

13th and 14th of August. 

We had several of our riders 

compete at Monarto being Caitlan 

Lloyd, Amy Lloyd, Kasey Lloyd, 

Cody Hanak and Tamika Francis. 

The team were coached by Katrina 

Lloyd who helped them win there 

first ever PC Zone Finals A grade 

Games in the history of the club. An 

amazing achievement for this group 

of kids. 

The feedback from the kids is that 

they had a fantastic weekend and 

really enjoyed the atmosphere, the 

coaching and especially the support. 

We also had Caitlan Lloyd, Tamika 

Francis and Georgina Fisher 

competing in the Monarto Junior 

Horse and Rider at the Southern 

Zone finals with Caitlan taking out 

first place, Tamika placing 4th and 

Georgina coming 15th so an 

amazing achievement. Amy Lloyd 

also paticipated in the C grade show 

jumping at the event with her 

gorgeous mount Jazz. 

Lets not forget Ruby Mayers who 

also made the long trek up to 

Monarto and placed third with her 

team in A grade games. Ruby would 

normally be part of the FHPC games 

team but because of her recent 

success in being chosen for the Pony 

Club Nationals she was not eligible 

to ride in the same group but she still 

did an amazing job at competing in 

the A side and placing third. 

We are very proud of all our 

members. We have so many rising 

stars out there competing and 

regularly coming home with 

ribbons. Our club has representation 

at many equestrian disciplines be it 

through the Southern Vales 

Dressage Club, Strathalbyn Show

I 

f not cast your mind back to the 2000 

Olympic Games in Sydney. Millie 

the Echidna was our international 

mascot and in that brief time became 

known world-wide. But even with all 

the “attention” there is much not known 

about them. 

Commonly known as spiny anteaters, 

and although resembling porcupines, 

and hedgehogs from the northern 

hemisphere, they are distinctly 

different. The name Echidna is derived 

from the Greek ekhis, “the mother of 

all monsters”, half woman, half snake 

Mounted Games and many of the 

SA gymkhana's and hacking events. 

We also have some of our members 

planning to ride at the Royal 

Adelaide Show and our local 

Yankalilla Show so keep an eye out 

there. 

So not only do most of our members 

catch up through our monthly gettogethers 

they are also out there 

supporting each other at many 

events which is fantastic. Over the 

last year or so we have been able to 

see our younger members participate 

in these outside competitions and to 

see how these group of kids have 

improved and become real 

contenders has been amazing. 

They've inspired some of us oldies 

(not so old) to get out there and have 

a go as well. We don't bounce like 

we use to but that doesn’t stop us. 

The club has a great representation 

of adult riders and is always looking 

to take on more. The adult members, 

family and friends have been a great 

support to the kids and act as 

positive role models whilst still 

managing to have some fun and are 

just as competitive as the younger 

ones. 

Our club is open for tiny tots 

through to the young at heart and we 

try to cater for all your horsey needs. 

I'm proud to say that we have a great 

bunch of people and are very 

supportive of all our riders so if you 

are looking for a great club why not 

check us out. You'll be made very 

and mother to most of the Greek 

mythological monsters. 

Echidnas grow to 50 cm long and 2.5-7 

kg in weight. They have a distinctive 

elongated snout which doubles as both 

welcome. 

Just check out our out and about 

page and our website to see some of 

our photos and success stories. 

Last but not least the club are 

extremely proud of the following 

members who have excelled in there 

recent endeavours. We have Georgia 

Byrne who has been chosen for the 

Interschool show jumping team. Our 

five riders (Caitlan Lloyd, Amy 

Lloyd, Kasey Lloyd, Cody Hanak 

and Tamika Francis) who will be 

making the trip to Keith for the State 

Finals and Ruby Mayers who has 

been chosen to compete in the Pony 

Club Nationals riding mounted 

games in Werribee Victoria. This is 

an amazing achievement for these 

kids and we are extremely proud. 

Whether they come home with 

ribbons or not they are already 

winners in our eyes. 

Stay warm (winter is nearly over).

mouth and nose, a long tongue, which 

as the common name implies, is 

excellent for catching its staple diet of 

termites and ants. 

Characteristically they are covered in 

spines which are modified hairs. The 

gait is distinctive and awkwardlooking 

, more reptilian due to the 

shared feature of the legs at the sides of 

the body instead of beneath as in the 

marsupials and placentals mammals. 

Although still considered by many as 

primitive they have a large brain case 

and do in fact have the same level of 

intelligence as a cat. They are longlived 

reaching 40 years or more. 

The Echidna belongs to a small group 

known as monotremes, which together 

with the marsupials and placentals are 

classified as members of the Class 

Mammalia. The ancestor of these 

three, a proto-mammal, arose at 

approximately the same time as the 

dinosaurs, approx 245 million years 

ago, and were dispersed across the then 

united super continent of 

Gondwanaland. Approximately 140 

million years ago, and prior to the 

breakup of Gondwanaland, the 

monotremes diverged from the main 

proto-mammal line. The Echidna its 

self is currently believed to have split 

from a platypus-like water-foraging 

ancestor 19-48 million years ago and 

returned to the land. The fossil jaw of 

one on these ancestors dated back to 

110 million years, has been found at 

Lightning Ridge in NSW. 

Today the monotremes survive only in 

Australia and New Guinea. The iconic 

Platypus is found only in Australia. The 

long-beaked Echidna is restricted to 

New Guinea, while the Short -beaked 

Echidna is found in Australia and with 

a limited range in New Guinea. 

Within Australia the Echidna is the 

most widespread of the mammals and 

is found from the mountain peaks and 

forests to the grasslands and deserts. 

Solitary for most of the year they 

forage over a home range of 9-190 

hectares which may overlap with a 

number of other individuals. They are 

selective feeders rotating through the 

home range foraging for up to 18 hours 

per day, travelling 1-2 km and 

excavating up to 1000 digs. In the 

process they contribute to soil aeration, 

the spread of mycorrhiza, nutrient 

mixing and seed germination. 

For the Australian Short-beaked the 

powerful claws come into their own, 

particularly to rip into ant and termite 

nests exposing the galleries of eggs. 

Here the long sticky worm-like tongue 

is ideally suited to the task of food 

gathering. 

Given the opportunity Echidnas show a 

preference for a dense under story 

which provides not only protection but 

a warm dry area in winter and cool in 

summer. Caves, logs and rabbit 

burrows can be used as home. 

The monotremes are a unique group. 

Like their relatives the marsupials and 

placentals they are characteristically 

warm –blooded. All three provide their 

young with milk, but unlike the others 

the monotremes lay eggs. 

Echidnas are solitary by nature, do not 

fight or defend territory and basically 

ignore other individuals they encounter. 

However come spring and the females 

waft forth a 

pheromone 

courtship 

invitation. A 

number of males 

take up the 

invitation and 

form echidna 

courtship trains with a female in the 

lead followed by commonly two to six 

males. These trains may persist for one 

to six weeks during which time males 

can loose 25% of their body weight. 

Meantime after a gestation period of 

about 23 days the female lays a single 

egg directly into the “pouch” where it 

remains for an incubation period of 10- 

11 days. The pouch itself is not a 

permanent pocket and milk is secreted 

through a number of non-localised 

mammary glands along the elongate 

edge of the “pouch”. The young 

‘puggle’ as they are called, is carried, 

and given milk for 50-60 days at which 

time it has grown too big, not to 

mention the emerging spines! 

The mother then stashes the puggle 

away in a nursery burrow. However it 

is still totally dependant upon the 

mother for subsistence who will return 

every 5-6 days for a period of a couple 

of hours during which time the puggle 

can ingest up to 40% of its own weight 

in one sitting. As the mother leaves she 

blocks and conceals the entrance to 

thwart predators. This cycle is repeated 

for the next seven months until junior is 

weaned and ready to leave home. 

Despite all its strangeness the Echidna 

has been a real survivor. Its success has 

been put down to a controlled birth rate 

thereby preventing overpopulating and 

consequently not competing amongst 

themselves for the food resources. With 

their colour and shape they blend into 

the surroundings and are a master of 

camouflage. In fact they are not 

uncommon in urban areas but rarely 

“seen.” 

With their intimidating appearance the 

adults present a prickly problem to any 

predator with thoughts of a quick a-lacarte 

meal. The adults and more 

particularly the highly vulnerable 

burrow young have a number of natural 

predators including goannas, quolls 

(native cats), Tasmanian devils, dingos 

and large snakes. Imported predators 

have a significant impact and include 

dogs, cats, foxes and feral pigs. 

Research work on Kangaroo Island 

reports a 20% loss of both burrow 

young and adults to cats. 

Additional to this predation the Echidna 

Watch Program reports that 20% of all 

sightings are road kills. Although not 

endangered as yet, the pressure is 

mounting with expanding development.

‘Any man can be a father. It takes 

someone special to be a dad.’ 

W 

atching the TV program, ‘The world’s strictest 

parents,’ I was intrigued by the response of a 

rebellious teen-ager who had flown to Jamaica to join 

a very strict family for a week. They said, ‘Please call 

us Mum and Dad.’ He said, ‘I cannot do that – I 

vowed I’d never use the word “Dad” again.’ 

Dud dads have a lot to answer for. Anders Breivik 

who bombed and gunned down innocent people in 

the Norwegian massacre was deserted by his dad at 

birth and lost all contact when he was 16. Not a good 

start for a young guy! 

What about all the rioting kids in Britain? Where 

were their dads? 

A chaplain to the infamous Pentridge Prison once 

said that almost every criminal in there cursed his 

father. 

I remember a lad who was let down by his dad. He 

said he was going interstate to find him. 

I said, ‘Your Dad’s not worth it.’ 

The boy, with fire in his eyes, said, ‘But what you 

need to know is - he’s the only father I’ll ever have.’ 

That’s the cold fact: we only have one Dad. Curse 

him, hate him or whatever - he’s our Dad. 

Good Dads 

Kids crave a good Dad. Good Dads makes all the 

difference. But, none are perfect. 

I knew a young fellow who lost his Dad. His father 

was a truck driver who deliberately drove it off the 

road one day to miss an oncoming car. He was killed, 

but the mother and baby in the car were spared. 

Bereft of his Dad, he was left with powerful respect 

for one who gave his life to save others. 

Fathers can give of themselves in very constructive 

ways - time, attention, affection and involvement. 

Let’s invest in our kids. The dividends are high. 

Dads, remember you’re the only Dad your kids will 

have. Example the best of fatherhood so they will 

know what good parenting is all about. We don’t 

have to be heroic. It’s all about being humble and 

committed. 

Billy Graham said, ‘A good father is one the most 

valuable assets in our society.’ 

To those let down: appreciate your dad gave you a 

chance to live. You’re here because of him. Maybe he 

was let down. Who knows what made him what he is. 

Learn from his mistakes and do things better. 

Forgiving a failed father helps both of you find 

healing and reconciliation. 

‘Our Father’ 

The Bible says, ‘Have we not all one Father? Did not 

one God create us?’ We chose neither father nor 

creator. 

God is the genius of fatherhood and family. A loving 

family relationship – with father, mother and children 

was our maker’s intention. Children raised in such an 

environment are truly blessed. 

To the great detriment of society and distress of 

personal well being, family life is suffering and 

fatherhood, in many instances, has failed. The 

strength of a nation can be measured by the health of 

its families. 

Family 

To all who struggle with parentage, identity, failure 

and disappointment, the Bible refers us to another 

important relationship – the family of God. 

Dud Dads 

An exciting text in the Bible says: ‘How great is the 

love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be 

called children of God! 1 John 3:1 

We can know God as ‘Father’ through Jesus, His 

Son. Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. 

No one comes to the Father except through me.’ He 

also said, ‘I and the Father are one.’ (John 14:6, 

10:30) 

In his famous prayer Jesus taught his disciples to 

pray, ‘Our Father in heaven…’ 

Jesus can forgive failed fathers and help kids and 

mums who struggle. He came from God to redeem 

sinful man. Through him we can be adopted into the 

family of God. 

The rebellious kid said, ‘I vowed never to call anyone 

“father” again.’ There’s a wonderful promise to 

believers in the Lord Jesus Christ: ‘… but you 

received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, 

"Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our 

spirit that we are God's children.’ Rom 8:15-16 

‘God is Spirit,’ said Jesus. True Christianity is an 

inward experience of God – a new birth – a new 

relationship. That is why Jesus said, ‘You must be 

born again.’ 

Do you belong to God’s family? You can!

know if it is that I am getting older but 

the winters seem to be getting longer and 

colder, I can not wait for summer to return. Of 

course summers mean sailing. On the 4th of June 

the sailing club held its annual dinner and trophy 

night at the Min Palace Restaurant in 

Normanville. It was a great evening with good 

food and much jocularity. The winners of the 

three sailing divisions were Roy Douglas for the 

big cat division, Ian McDonald for the medium 

cat division and Dave Herraman for the dinghy 

and small cat division. Well done to all trophy 

winners. We as a club continue to attract new 

members so our racing will become even more 

competitive in the coming season. 

The next event on our calendar was our AGM 

held at The Links Lady Bay on the 12th of 

August. The management kindly let us use one of 

their conferences rooms for our meeting. Our 

ary Eves owner of P Drive School of 

G Motoring has come up with some helpful 

advice that will help clients and readers 

understand the options available to those who 

would like to get their P1 Provisional Licence. 

Applicants under 25 who have applied for their 

Learners Permit since September 4th 2010 must 

hold their Learners Permit for a year. If over the 

age of 25 it is 6 months. 

There are two ways to qualify for your P1 

Provisional Licence. You can either pass a 

practical test known as the Vehicle-On-Road 

Test (VORT) or undertake the Competency 

Based Training & Assessment (CBT&A). 

The CBT&A requires 29 tasks to be signed off 

correctly with a driving instructor before doing 

task 30, the end test. 

if you haven’t been before, that’s no problem, 

all are invited to share ideas and information with 

others

After the success of our 1 st poetry session we will 

continue to bring you this event on the fourth 

Sunday of the month 

at The Courthouse Café Normanville. 

Come and join the fun as we play word and 

poetry games. Bring along a poem you’ve written 

or any type of poetry you like. If you don’t want to

of laughs at our 

first gathering 

so don’t miss 

out. The more 

the merrier.

council CEO, Roger Sweetman was present to 

detail possible relocation of the sailing club. Our 

club storage facility is currently located in the 

Jetty Road Caravan Park and because of the 

proposed future redevelopment of the park our 

shed it seems must go. Our meeting then went on 

to elect a new executive and committee. The 

office bearers elected were, Commodore, Barry 

Muir; Vice Commodore, Gavin Schubert; 

Secretary, George Reeves; Treasurer, Steve 

Rogers; Social Secretary, Barbara Matthews and 

Publicity Officer, Tony Proctor. 

During the meeting it was agreed to trial a few 

out of season sailing days, weather permitting. I 

am personally a fair weather sailor. This summer 

we will be actively trying to raise funds for the 

club by holding raffles so if on the beach a lovely 

young lady jangles a tin for a raffle ticket, please 

give generously for a small active local club. A 

Need a Driving Licence? 

The VORT test requires the same high quality of 

driving, but does not require the tasks to be 

signed off. The skills learnt are assessed on the 

final vehicle on road test. Gary has found that 

drivers who are prepared to practise their driving 

in-between his professional lessons, prefer this 

method. 

Both methods require 75 hours of driving, 

signed off by an eligible supervised driver. 

Check the Government website for requirements 

of a supervised driver at 

www.mylicence.sa.gov.au 

Both methods require an end test to get the P1 

Provisional Licence. 

Gary has the latest National Cert IV 

qualification in Road Transport Driving 

Instruction and his main goal is to teach 

professional driving skills to clients, not only so 

they pass the test, but to become a safe and 

responsible driver, especially on the country 

roads of the Fleurieu Peninsula. 

Most parents will invest a lot time and money 

into their child’s education, learning to drive 

correctly is something they should also invest in, 

so their son or daughter will have life-time skills 

behind the wheel of a car.

y name is Elise Lavers, and I am 

M a Yankalilla local working at 

Jetty Food Store and Studying a 

Bachelor of Health Sciences/ Bachelor 

of Secondary Education at Flinders 

University. 

I grew up in Jamestown; a typical 

farming community in the Southern 

Flinders Ranges. The whole town is in 

existence thanks to the fertile soils, 

open plains and reliable rainfall that 

make conditions perfect for the mixed 

farming of cereal crops and livestock. 

Some of my fondest memories of 

growing up are of days spent yabbying 

in friends’ dams, bike riding the maple 

trail in Bundaleer forest, and counting 

lambs tails for pocket money at the end 

of a long days’ tailing and drenching 

(for $1 per hundred tails; big business!). 

Jamestown was first recognised as 

arable farming land by South 

Australia’s surveyor-general, George 

W. Goyder. In 1865, Goyder plotted a 

line across South which separated the 

land that received more than 10inches 

of annual rainfall from the land that 

didn’t. As Jamestown has always been 

South of Goyder’s line, where rainfall 

is sufficient for successful crops, when 

I first heard that climate change was 

threatening to shift the line south of 

Jamestown towards Clare……..I was 

shocked. For the first time, I was no 

longer seeing climate change as just 

another issue for developing nations 

that I couldn’t do much about, but as a 

real issue that could potentially end 

farming shut down my hometown. As I 

tried to express my concerns to friends, 

my words were often dismissed with a 

casual laugh and: “ah Lavers, you’re 

such a greenie!”. I felt alone in caring, 

so being a young teenager, I decided

Climate Change 

there was nothing I could do and it 

slipped away from the front of my 

mind. 

After obtaining a scholarship to board 

at Walford School in 2007, I decided to 

join the school’s environmental 

committee. We ran cake stalls, 

sponsored an orangutan, painted 

banners, and started battery, fluorescent 

light bulb and newspaper recycling 

programs at our school. It wasn’t much, 

but it was enough to give me my selfish 

fix of warm-fuzzies by “doing my little 

bit”. 

It wasn’t until this year, my first year of 

university study, that I realised it was 

no longer enough to just “do my little 

bit”. I joined the Flinders 

Environmental Action Group (FEAG) 

and the Flinders Action Group for the 

Australian Youth Climate Coalition 

(FLAG), run by Yankalilla local, Isaac 

Astill. While only in its beginnings, 

FLAG has already run two successful 

sign up events, where we spoke with 

many fellow students and lecturers 

about the benefits of a price on 

pollution. We also collected hundreds 

of signatures, which we took to a 

personal meeting with Federal Labor 

MP Anne McEwan to show the youth 

support behind a strong carbon tax with 

direct investment in renewable 

energies. However, despite our work, 

there still seems to be a lack of urgency 

amongst the population for taking 

action on climate change. 

I was recently selected by the 

Australian Youth Climate Coalition as a 

field co-ordinator for the up-coming 

Powershift in Brisbane. Powershift is a 

youth climate conference/festival, 

which will run from the 15th-17th of 

October. The program has not yet been 

confirmed, though it will consist of 

workshops and talks from influential 

speakers, before a mass public action at 

the conclusion of the conference. In 

Sydney’s 2009 Powershift, Al Gore 

was one of the key speakers via videolink, 

and the public action was a large 

flash mob dance with thousands of 

youth volunteers on the steps of the 

Sydney Opera House, which gained 

substantial media attention (with over 

134,000 youtube views on one of the 

clips alone!). 

From what I have seen and heard, 

Powershift conferences have the ability 

to educate, connect, and inspire young 

people to take further action on climate 

change within their communities. As a 

field co-ordinator, it is my role to 

ensure that as many people as possible 

are given the opportunity to attend this 

year’s Brisbane conference. The 

conference is open to anyone under 30. 

The early-bird tickets for the three day 

conference are $65, and if you require 

further financial assistance for travel, I 

can help you seek sponsorship. You 

don’t have to be a “greenie”. You don’t 

have to be a political activist. You don’t 

have to be a student. We just want 

people who are willing to join us and 

become inspired! 

The voice of concerned youth is not 

being sufficiently represented, so it is 

we, the youth, who need to speak up 

now to re-shape the debate. It is us who 

will have to deal with the consequences 

of inaction, so I am making it my 

mission to help other young people 

move from apathy to taking action on 

climate change. I believe that 

Powershift is an event that has the 

ability to achieve this. If you would like 

to get some more information on 

Powershift or the Australian Youth 

Climate Coalition, feel free to e-mail 

me. 

Will YOU come to Powershift with 

me? 

Please do not hesitate to contact me 

with any questions you may have.

a cup of tea, a plate of toast and a 

good book. 

If I hadn’t been a school teacher I 

would have been: 

a quarantine officer at an
