i’d like to introduce myself - Tracey or Trace

absolutely love this area - the Mid North Coast.
This magazine has been a dream of mine for
sometime and now its finally here. i wanted
something different, something to be proud of
and something which is local - local info, local
produce, locally designed and locally printed.
Most importantly is our community, i love
the idea of walking into the butchers and he
knows my name, also the real estate, the
bakery, everywhere...
i want to show off this area! Help support our
community and buy local..

AJourney to here...A much needed lifestyle change led
me to beautiful Forster. I then met
my soul mate Stephen in the Great
Lakes Seed Savers Group and now
I share his piece of paradise up in
the Caparra Valley with our growing
family.
Why this area?It’s sheer beauty. Whether it is
the amazing ocean water or the
perfectly shaped mountain, its just
so beautiful. How lucky are we all
to live surrounded by such amazing
natural beauty.
Favorite place?My fairy garden down by the creek
on our property. I’m just a big fairy
at heart and its such a magical
place to be. Not too many people
don’t enjoy a visit to my fairy
garden, big or small.
Favorite food?Food grown on our farm. There is
something deeply gratifying about
growing your own food and growing
it organically is a must. Oh and
potatoes in their jackets with a pile
of yummy topping... Oh yes and my
cookies and cream cheese cake.
So wickedly delicious!
Favorite Eat-out food?It’s got to be Bent on Food in
Wingham - fantastic local and tasty
food. You have to try the vegetarian
dishes on the menu! Mmmmmmm!
Who inspires you?My husband Stephen. His love of
nature, energy and enthusiasm
always inspires me to get motivated
and to live simply. The Manning
Valley Little Sunflowers Steiner
inspired playgroup - just being a
part of the mothers group inspires
me as a mother and as a child care
worker.
What's happening now?My childcare career is on hold as
I am a full time mum to our son
Indigo. I’m also pregnant with our
third child, due mid September. We
sadly lost our precious beautiful
daughter, Daisy in 2009. I want
to spend as much time with our
children before they grow up. I
have so much I want to teach them
about our beautiful world and
about life.
Where in 20 years?Still happily married to Stephen and
watch our children grow into adults
and inspiring them to fulfill their
hopes and dreams with love and
compassion. Plenty of gardening
and of course playing in my fairy
garden.. I refuse to grow up.
Final say....Happiness is a choice and I choose
to be happy, happy, by living simply
and truly being grateful, it always
turns what I have into enough!
A truly inspirational person, Lyn Heher grew up in the
outer suburbs of Sydney and moved to the twin towns
of Albury-Wodonga as a teenager and slowly made
her way to a little cottage not too far from Wingham.

Local producersBerry Farm Old Bar
Beautiful Home
For over 5 years Ron and Chris
from the Old Bar Berry Farm
have been producing quality
home grown berries for lovers
of berries. The little known farm,
not far from Old Bar has a wide
variety of berries. Strawberries
and Raspberries seem to be
the favorites, with Young Berries
(cross between a blackberry and
raspberry), Boysenberry and
Silvan Blackberries.
Most of the berries are ready to
be harvested in the Spring and
generally produce right through
the summer. All of the berries are
delivered to local businesses as
well as jams and honey gathered
from 30 bee hives on the farm.
Your can buy your berries, honey
and jam direct from the farm -
keep an eye on their sign on the
corner of Half Chain and Old
Bar Roads to see if you can pick
some up on your way home.

Happy planting!!
Kids love being outdoors and getting their hands dirty (much to mum and dad’s disgust). Worm farms are a great way of introducing your kids to gardening. They are low maintenance, inexpensive and easy to make. Not only are you recycling your kitchen waste, you are creating some fantastic fertiliser for your garden.
By feeding your worms food scraps (no dairy or meat), garden waste and even left over shredded paper, they will produce castings (or worm poo) which is rich in nutrients.
There are a couple of ways to use the castingsFirstly the liquid which is drained through the worm farm can be mixed 1-10 (1 part worm juice and 10 parts water). Pour it on and give all your plants a feed.
Secondly you can use the ready made castings. Grab a few handfuls and mix it together in a full bucket of water and pure directly on. Your plants will love it!
worms!
A foam box is a great start! Stack them on top of each other to make the layers.

May All Your Thumbs Be Green
Established in 1993, greenpatch Organic seeds supplies and distributes seeds, plants, organic garden products and books Australia wide. Seeds and plants are also available in bulk quantities for larger gardens, sprouting enthusiasts and commercial growers.
With over 350 varieties of Heritage Seeds and over 250 varieties of culinary herbs, useful and edible plants, Greenpatch Organic Seeds is well placed to provide the home gardener with resources to establish a vegetable, herb and kitchen garden.
Soil preparation is the most IMPORTANT job to grow successful plants. Prepare a loose friable garden soil to a depth of at least 25cm.
The fertility of the soil can be improved by adding organic matter like compost, well-rotted animal manures and organic fertilisers. The addition of lime to acid soils will help bring the ph to around 6-6.5 favourable to the majority of vegetables, herbs and flowers. Mulching is beneficial for weed control and retaining moisture.
When sowing in containers or seed trays, minimum depth of 6cm is required. Sow seeds direct in the garden or in a seed tray. Small seed needs to be covered very lightly and larger seeds, double the thickness of the seed.
A warm, sheltered position is ideal. At least half a day of full sun, for optimum growth. Keep the soil moist but not wet.
The main objective with raising seeds is to have a fine tilled soil that is well drained, then sowing depth, soil moisture, warm sheltered position.
The garden bed or seed tray can be covered with shade cloth or vege net to reduce the drying out of the soil until seeds have germinated.
Once the seedlings have grown to a height (5cm) they can be separated and planted in the garden. Water well, fertilise as required and enjoy the abundance!
Greenpatch is open to the public 5 days a week at 109 Old Bar Road, Glenthorne or at our ‘Open Day’ 21st October. We can assist with all your garden enquiries. For a free catalogue phone (02) 65514240. Workshops coming up: ‘Organic Vege gardening’ - 13th October and ‘growing Herbs’ - 27th October.
Seeds are also available from Gnomes Landscapes, Go Vita Taree, Graeme & Jan Young, Nature’s Care Nursery, Taree Produce, Wingham Nursery & Florist.

cafés
Hmmm i think i can hear something...
A grumbling sound, oh that’s just your
stomach asking for some fantastic local
food. The Mid North Coast has a huge range
of exotic and traditional food on offer.
Many of these restaurants and cafés are
keeping things home grown and buying
locally grown fresh food. Keeping it local
has a huge range of benefits for their
business and for the people gorging
themselves on their favorite menu selection.
Not only does it reduce the transport costs
of shipping food to distant locations, it is
the environmental impact which is most
important - keeping carbon emissions as low
as possible.
Chefs and cooks are keeping on their
toes with menus in-line with seasonal fruit
and veg. There is also a high demand for
more organic and homemade delicacies
by consumers, as well as strict dietary
requirements such as gluten, nuts and dairy
free meals.

Being a local chef, Tristan knows the importance of purchasing local produce and recently has branched out into homemade marmalades and chutneys.
During the evenings, live music (mainly weekends) can be heard drifting down the main street and the light hum of people chattering and laughing. Mauritian curries are Martine’s specialty, a variety of other meals are also available such as pasta and pizza.
Functions and events are catered for, large or small groups with some specialty
canapés on offer, see left mmmm!. For bookings phone 6553 3188 or drop into 2-3/43 Old Bar Road, Old Bar.

Real Chefs, Real Food at an Award Winning Club
Club Old BarClub Old Bar has introduced a new menu with a fresh look and a combination of new tastes and old time favourites. Our head chef Greg Riding’s signature dish, Seafood Chowder in a house baked cob (see the front cover) is a must to try or perhaps the Hoisin Duck Stirfry, another popular dish on the menu.
The team at Club Old Bar are passionate about great food and our cooking philosophy is based on the idea that using quality fresh seasonal ingredients and enhancing their natural flavours produces fresh modern and delicious food.
The Club has also designed specialised dietary menus tailored for the gluten free and celiacs without sacrificing taste. Vegetarian meals are also very popular with the
pumpkin and feta salad, a great “hit”. All of the meals are prepared fresh by a great team to serve their absolute best.
The Club has also introduced an attractive and affordable menu for the youngsters as well as access to treats including milkshakes from the Coffee Shop. “Nipper bags” for the kids containing a colouring book and pencils are not only a great hit with the kids but also the parents who are able to relax and enjoy a quiet drink or a meal while the kids are entertained.

Deb Creighton from
Manning Valley Tomatoes has
turned a broken down nursery into
a productive tomato farm. The
40 acre farm situated not far from
Old Bar was originally a highly
productive wholesale nursery
called Allots, growing mainly
indoor plants and employing
around 20 employees during the
eighties. From 2004 Manning
Valley Tomatoes has slowly
repaired some of the original
greenhouses to grow tomatoes
and other produce all year round.
Deb has a passion for gardening
and also grows a variety of fruit
and veggies. Cucumbers,
spinach, strawberries and
Asian greens which are
supplied at the FARm

makes it to our plates via

Organic
W ith such a high demand for more organic and locally supplied produce, go Vita has expanded to a new premises in Taree to fill bigger shelves with a wider range of products.
Being able to supply product in bulk is one of the reasons for the move, as well as needing extra space for hundreds of new lines. Steph & Blue about are about to celebrate 10 years years of local business, starting out with one store in Taree, and expanding to include Forster as well.
Buying in bulk benefits consumers and the environment by cutting out packaging & reducing prices. “You don’t have to buy large amounts, you just scoop out what you need. We also encourage our customers to bring in their own containers, but we have bags here for people to use as well” said Steph.
The local and organic produce is very reasonably priced. “Keeping an eye on seasonal fruit and vege is also the key to keeping consumer costs down.”
Steph is passionate about buying local, organic fresh produce and is always on the lookout for more suppliers. The local and organic produce has a smart labelling system so it is easy to spot the organic and local fresh food.
Not only is there fantastic food, but a huge range of vitamins and natural skin care products as well as aromatherapy and sports nutrition. Also become a Member, its FREE, and receive great regular discounts.(Oh you have to try the Organic Chai Tea too!!)

featureIt’s coming into its 7th year and the Old Bar Festival is becoming a very important part of Old Bar’s history - it’s no longer a few market stalls...
The Old Bar Festival has seen its fair share of ups and downs in the past few years. In 2008 it battled severe weather and last year an unfortunate plane accident into the ferris wheel, many locals thought it was the end of the festival.
Well this year it’s back and stronger than ever. Expecting over 17,000 visitors this year. The Kombis are back for their Australian record attempt and more mega market stalls with a huge variety of things to see. Classic cars and gourmet food and wine. Expect more rides for the kids, music and art shows.
The festival is more than just markets and ferris wheels... A great deal of community is going on ‘behind the scenes’. A small bunch of dedicated locals have come together to put Old Bar on the map. So much time is spent with locals dedicating their time for this fantastic event and the rewards of seeing the flow of Kombis coming down the main street, to the laughter (and screams) from kids having fun on the joy rides.
Not only does the festival promote Old Bar as a great place to visit - but a great place to stay and live.
Look out for “DORA The Exporer” this year and a bunch of other entertainment. Keep up-to-date with events by visiting www.oldbarbeachfestival.com.au

FishingIt’s Spring - you beauty! The weather is warming up, so it’s time to go into the back yard and see if you can find your boat. It’s time to go FISHING!!
We are so lucky living in this beautiful area - Wallabi Point, Old Bar, the Manning River, the “Islands” and Manning Point. So many places to fish, so little time! Beaches, estuaries, lagoons, headlands, river entrances and ocean and so many ways to fish these areas - in boats , in kayaks, in waders or just wetting a line with the kids at your favourite local jetty. We are definitely blessed!
Whiting, Jewfish, Flathead, Bream, Tailor, Snapper, Black Fish, Gar Fish, Mullet, Teraglin, Morwong, Drummer, Bass, Perch, Marlin, Tuna , Crabs, Prawns - too many species to name in this short article! Also a great variety of ways to fish for these species - bait, soft plastics, lures, fly - whatever your preference our local area can provide all this and more!
So what’s been happening on the local fishing front? The Jewfish (Mulloway) were thick on the beach right through Summer and into Winter - taking Beach Worms, big Squid, Tailor or Salmon slabs and even whole Tailor. Tailor had a go this year too - they’ve been quiet over the last few seasons - I heard of fish up to that three kilo mark - very good fish. The “rock-hoppers” have also caught some very good Drummer.
The river has been fishing consistently for Bream, Flathead, Jewfish and Black Fish and continues to look good for the rest of the season - since the Fisherie’s restocking program a few years ago the Jewfish population has increased dramatically. The Whiting should be around soon - hopefully a bit thicker than last year!
The Mud Crabs had a “cracker” of a season in the river - the biggest I saw at the bait shop was just on 3kgs, with crabs to 2kgs not uncommon!
The dredge is up and running and is currently undertaking works near Charlies Island and Mud Bishops - they have also completed the “Taj Mahal”of toilet blocks at Farquhar - the jetty has also been completed - making life much easier for “day trippers” and campers. Good to see at least one government body investing in our local area.
Don’t forget about the new life jacket regulations when you’re on the river - check the Waterways web site if you’re unsure.
Well, that’s it for the Fishing Page first edition - congratulations to Trace and the magazine team for their efforts - I better go before J.G. hits me with a 10% Carbon Tax for letting off too much hot air!

Surf Life Saving Club
Community CLUB
Since 1928, the Taree Old Bar Surf Life Saving Club has be saving lives on Old Bar Beach.
In 1927 after drownings in the area, a meeting was called to form a surf club to provide trained rescuers to prevent further tragedies occurring.
This meeting failed and subsequently in 1928, a further meeting with the help of Vic Rushby, formed the Taree Old Bar Surf Life Saving Club.
Today the Club has a strong following with many patrolling, Nippers and associate members.

Quiet and pristine, Manning Point is the perfect spot
to sit and relax. A sleepy little town where locals stop
in the middle of the road and chat for half an hour
before they move on. You could say Manning Point is
undiscovered and untouched, located on the entrance
of the Manning River, Manning Point is both a river and
beach town with beautiful views.
The local General Store has everything you need from
a postage stamp to a bottle shop. The hamburgers are
the best around and you can sit and enjoy a coffee or
grab a take away and head to the park with the kids.
The local park has a great BBQ area with lots of picnic
tables (under cover) and a playground for the kids.
A boat ramp is directly
across from the general
store (which also sells bait).
The Waterbird Restaurant is right on the water and has
stunning views of the river. The meals are fantastic - you
won’t leave this place disappointed or with an empty
stomach!
Plenty of places to stay... Two holiday parks, holiday
accommodation units and houses are available all
year round and the local Manning Point Bowling Club
is great for a game of bowls and a delicious meal, all
within walking distance.
