ANZAC

Commemorating 100 years at

Greenwell Point 2015

A record 10,000 people attended Anzac Park to com-memorate the centenary of the landing at Gallipoli and honour the service men and women in other WWI battles and subsequent military conflicts.

It was the largest dawn service ever held at Greenwell Point and the park was at near capacity before the pa-rade arrived for the 5.30 dawn service. The crowd, from veterans to babes in arms, assembled at the Com-munity Hall and Anzac Park from before 5 AM, with some meeting even earlier at the pub.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert Calhoun gave the opening address paying honour to the many locals who served and died Gallipoli, other battles in World War I and all subsequent involvement in foreign conflicts. He re-flected on why Anzac still resonates for all members of the community.

“Today we mark the 100th anniversary of the landings at Anzac Cove. This year also marks the 50th anniver-sary of the commitment of combat troops to Vietnam.” he said. He continued “ Pyree had entered the 1913-14 first grade cricket competition. The inaugural South

Jim Walliss 1935 – 2015

This extraordinary man was named in the 2009 Australia Day Honours list and awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia for service to the community of the Shoalhaven, to the environment and to education. He was a talented teacher and an inspired conservation-ist, a humble and gracious man who gave so much to our little community and will be sorely missed. Vale Jim Walliss. When Jim Walliss took up residence in Greenwell Point 42 years ago, our little fishing village had no idea what an inspiring man had just arrived in their midst. The year was 1973 and Jim had been appointed headmas-ter of Greenwell Point Public School. He was accompanied by his wife Marion and daughters Amanda and Jillian. Marion recalls that at the time the school had one build-ing divided into two classrooms with one light bulb each, a verandah that doubled as everything and a dilapidated shed which was the sewing room cum canteen cum store-room. Jim and his family lived in the residence next door which is now the administration building. Jim quickly expanded the school curriculum to include an appreciation of the natural environment. He used funds from a grant to establish a nursery to grow seeds and he and his students planted hundreds of trees along road-sides, on dairy farms, at the oyster depot, in the Tapitallee wet lands and along the Shoalhaven River. Bike hiking, camping and fishing were added to the experi-ential learning program, with Jim’s endeavours in environ-

Coast Rugby League Competition was formed. In the months and years that followed, 329 local men enlisted along with three physicians and three nurses. Seven were awarded Military Medals and two the Military Cross. Seventy never returned.

“In the century since, Australia has endured a depres-sion, the Second World War, the dropping of the atom-ic bomb, the Korean War, the Malayan emergency, the Vietnam War, instability and conflict in Cambodia, So-malia, Rwanda and East Timor and combat operations in Iraq and Afganistan. More recently Australia has lost 41 in Afghanistan and over 261 wounded amongst the latest generation of veterans.”

Refreshments were served at DJ’s, the Greenwell Point Hotel, Pelican Rocks Café, the sausage sizzle at The Bak-ery and those wonderful women of the Hospital Auxilia-ry at The Community Hall.

GREENWELL POINT HISTORY GROUP Do you have an interest in local history?

With Jim’s passing, and intended retirement of Do-ris Hoffman, the Greenwell Point History Group is seeking new blood to continue the work of this local institution. See letters to The Editor page 11. If you are interested please email The Gazette or call 0409982157.

mental education recognised in a special award from the NSW Department of Education. In 1975 work began on several new school buildings. Jim laid the first brick and worked tirelessly until the new classrooms were completed the following year. In 1988, Jim was instrumental in organising an amazing Bicentennial celebration in Anzac Park which included the re-enactment of George Bass arriving in Greenwell Point in 1797. The school children recreated models of ships from 1788, dressed in period costume, built a pio-neer slab hut in the school grounds and performed for dignitaries. Photos and details of this extraordinary community event are on display at the Greenwell Point Gallery. Jim’s love of the natural environment gathered mo-mentum after he retired in 1993. He joined River Watch, working with farmers to revegetate and fence the river and expand mangrove areas. In addition, he held executive positions with the Shoalhaven Conservation Society and the Shoalhaven Catchment Management Committee. Bundanon held a special place in his heart. He was a member of the Bundanon Trust Local Advisory Com-mittee and spent many hours working with Arthur Boyd to conserve large swathes of this unique environment, in particular establishing bush tracks. During this time he worked with Greencorp groups to plant trees and his efforts were recognised by the Garden Club of Aus-tralia. Jim also produced teaching guides for Bomaderry Creek, The Grotto, Bangalee and Beecroft Walk. In 2005 he was presented with an Outstanding Individ-ual Landcare award for the production of a CD illus-trating the landscapes, geology, flora and fauna, and human interactions on the Lower Shoalhaven River. This program is now used in all the local schools. Wollongong University also chimed in with a medal for his contributions to Environmental Education in the region. Jim loved Greenwell Point and its history and was in-strumental in compiling the book Greenwell Point – an early Shoalhaven Port and creating the plaques illus-trating our history which today line the foreshore. For many years he was the chair of the Greenwell Point Historical Society and the Greenwell Point Progress As-sociation. His other passion in retirement was basket making and weaving. His incredible knowledge of indigenous cul-ture led him to work with the TAFE Aboriginal Educa-tion Unit to re-establish traditional indigenous weaving. His beautiful designs – in particular his baskets and hanging fish - were often on display at the Greenwell Point Gallery. Jeni Harvie

From GET TO THE POINT PROGRAMME

It may be time to brush the dust off the "Greenwell Point Plan" that was developed about ten years ago to help with the process of getting major works through Shoalhaven City Council relating mainly to the foreshore development. We ended up with works that changed forever the look and feel of our town - I think all will agree - for the better. One reason I suggest brushing off the Plan is that there are wheels in motion concerning other "needs" in the area. At the State level there is work being done to develop a plan of how the State will cope with "coastal inundation" caused by rising sea levels. This Coastal Management Plan will affect us sooner or later. Maybe we need to be proactive and ensure that it accords with our own town plan so that there are not too many surprises - and not too many works are undertak-en which don't fit in with the overall plan. A case in point is the current push to get Greens Road raised so that it does not get pools of water on it every time it rains. Is this a good idea? Yes it probably is - but does it ad-dress other major matters being raised in the Coastal Man-agement Plan? The answer is that it is not at all clear at this time but it may be a good place to start to get powers that be thinking about the future viability of Greenwell Point and how to ensure that with a 10 or 20 year plan of works. Why not raise the whole of Greenwell Point Road? Let me wrap up by saying that Get to the Point is our com-munity mouthpiece for interactions with SCC. That does not mean that individuals cannot go directly to Council with or without petitions to try to achieve outcomes by themselves. Get to the Point is there for residents and ratepayers in the Greenwell Point and Pyree areas to use to assist them to achieve outcomes. Magic won't happen - but some locals with good connections to SCC are associated with GTTP and you may be surprised what can be achieved. Peter Talty, GTTP

Greenwell Point Gazette - Volume 109 May 2015

The guest speaker at the GTTP meeting of 19 March was Narelle Wright, a member of the Lake Wollum-boola Protection Society, an enthusiastic photogra-pher of the birds visiting the Lake. Narelle gave a wonderfully informative presentation accompanied by excellent photographs of her subjects. The audience was totally absorbed by Narelle’s easy manner, her obvious enthusiasm and extensive knowledge of the birds she cares for and has painstakingly photo-graphed. An estimated 104 birds species, including 17 listed threatened migratory birds inhabit the Lake which is included in the Jervis Bay National Park. It is also rec-ognised as a Wetland of National Importance and by its candidacy for listing under the Ramsay Convention as a Wetland of International Importance and as a Globally Important Bird Area. A photo of black swans waddling from their fresh wa-ter pool across the sand to the lake started the presentation of the birds. Discussion turned to some of the rarer visitors to the lake this summer including the White-Rumped Sandpiper. This rather unremarka-ble looking little bird took a wrong turn when leaving its breeding ground in the Arctic tundra and joined the migration on the East Asian-Australasian Flyway to Australia and Lake Wollumboola instead of joining its buddies along an American Flyway to South America. This wader had not been seen in NSW since 1977 and quickly became a celebrity with twitchers turning up in droves from all over Australia lugging massive camera lenses and scopes. Then came the rollercoaster story of the migratory Little Tern and the fact that its survival in NSW de-pends on the National Parks Shorebird Recovery Pro-gram, volunteers from the community and a co-operative public. The season just gone was looking promising with over 350 eggs from 160 nests. It ended up being a disastrous season with wave wash-overs, raptor and fox predation taking eggs and chicks. Only 18 chicks were counted and from that just 7 fledged, a far-cry from last year’s 46 fledglings. The fact that the Chestnut Teal sometimes nest in tree hollows was a surprise to many in the audience. I de-scribed a most enchanting experience watching 7 little ducklings leap 4 metres from a tree hollow, land with a thud on the leaf litter below, tumble down into the creek and swim with their protective parents to the open waters of the lake. Other birds making an appearance were the Royal Spoonbill seen on a nearby farm as well as on the lake, elegant Red-necked Avocets with their striking wing patterns and upturned bills and the Pied Oystercatch-er which successfully nested on the sandbar this sum-mer, a first in many decades for this species. Each pho-to prompted a story, an experience which the audi-ence enjoyed. There was great interaction between-Narelle and the audience with many questions asked and answered with a number of people asking for Narelle to be invited again. Thank you Narelle.

pists make some progress with him but then funding runs out and he is back to square one. At 55 he is a deeply unhappy man going nowhere. His lovely loyal lady Jenny Bren-nan has done her best to support him via the public hospital sys-tem. But she is frustrated by his lack of progress. Now she wants to take him home and care for him there. To do this she needs major modifications to her house: support bars and rails, a full bathroom renovation, mobili-ty ramps, a hydraulic lift, all of which will cost about $25,000. Jenny will receive some govern-ment funding but her contribu-tion will amount to about $7500. So her friends at Greenwell Point have rallied together and decid-ed to hold a Pizza, Pasta and Sal-ad fundraiser at Greenwell Point Hotel on Saturday May 16 from 5pm. Tickets for the meal will be $20 each ($10 for children) with half the proceeds going directly to Jen and Al. Plus there will be music and dancing and more than $1500 worth of raffle items from fuel vouchers and electrical goods to fishing gear and fine wine. Please join us on May 16 and

support this worthy cause. All

Jervis Street Wharf saved from demolition.

The Gazette can report that the wharf is not to be demolished. Thanks to the efforts of Cnr Greg Watson, the Council has agreed to repair the wharf and have it included in The Better Water-ways Program. Council will con-sult with Marine Rescue regard-ing the future of the winch and slipway. Cnr Watson impressed upon Council that, “in his opinion, 80% of the visitors as well as locals go the Greenwell Point or live here because of the fishing and on that basis we should be in-creasing the facilities available rather than decommissioning boating infrastructure”.

The Greenwell Point Cup Our Cup runneth over … despite a lack of track action. The day of the 2015 Greenwell Point Cup – Easter Sunday April 5 – dawned bright and sunny. What a superb day to don our finery, sip champagne and watch the mighty steeds battle it out at Archer Racecourse. It had rained the previous day but early Sunday morn-ing race officials declared the track was safe. However, just as we were gathering to watch the race one, several jockeys voiced their concern about a wet patch and the meeting was cancelled. It was a blow to Ros Harvey who spends months or-ganising the event each year, with the highlight the Greenwell Point Cup sponsored by Terry Harvey’s Carpet Court and Nowra Scrap. But Greenwell Point racegoers were not to be thwarted and the party went ahead despite the lack of local eq-uine action. The bets flowed via the TAB to other meetings around the country, the crowd cheered their favourites home, there were fashions in the field contests and an im-promptu 50-metre sprint by two-legged gallopers. The initial disappointment was quickly replaced by good humour and an overwhelming desire to make the best of a beautiful day. Well done Ros. And we’ll see everyone next year when the mighty mounts return. Jeni Harvie

Warmer water temperature (23 degrees outside) has seen good

catches across the board. The river is yielding flathead, bream,

flounder, tailor, black fish and the odd rogue salmon, all smashing

nippers, white bait, prawns, fish bait and lures. Black fish are hot

and cold during the day at the wharf and good weed is hard to come

by, it’s a day to day proposition.

Worms and nippers will get you a good feed of these omnivores

towards the bottom of the run out tide at night.

Outside the banks and the Shallows are coughing up snapper, mor-

wong, pigfish etc. Anchoring up and dropping a burley bomb will

get you the best results as the bigger fish will eventually get

through the pickers to your trail.

Otherwise work hard on the drift fishing close to the boat. A piece

of fish bait or squid plus a teaser of prawn or pilly delays the pick-

ers clean up.

Bonito are smashing through schools of bait fish with small metal

lures are the go. Good size dolphin fish are being taken at the

F.A.D’S and the new Shoalhaven artificial reef is starting to pro-

duce. Good Flathead are also on the drift.

Bait tips:

Nippers /Bass Yabbies- use a long shank bait keeper hook size 6,

through tail and present hook at the head. Pump at low tide using

an aerator to keep them alive. Freeze your excess as it’s still top

bait. Can’t believe a pro has been given a contract to harvest this

valuable resource.

Worms – pump at low tide and keep alive in a hessian bag or

course rag, store in a cool place. Plenty dangling off your bait keep-

er hook.

Prawns- through tail and present hook through head –

peel for Blackfish.

Whitebait- hook through eye and present hook half way

down the belly so it “swims” on the drift.

Fish Bait- Mullet, Yellow Tail, Bonito, Tailor, Stripy

Tuna and my favourite Slimy Mackerel. You get the

best results by leaving a piece of skin dangling as a teas-

er and passing the hook through so that the point faces

out on the fleshy side. I do a regular slimy run , burley-

ing up off the entrance of the Crookhaven Heads. Store

them in an ice slurry. Fillet when firm, into a bucket of

salt water, all cleaned and filleted fish should be treated

this way to avoid fresh water white tipping of the flesh.

Once home layer your fillets in an old esky with a liber-

al coating of course cooking salt on each layer. Store for

24 hours, drain off brine and freeze in packets. Any

longer and you’ll suck out too much blood and mois-

ture. The end result is a firm rubbery bait that all fish

suicide on.

When to Fish:

A good day fishing beats a hard day’s work anytime.

Outside:

Head out pre sparrow fart! I’m on my snapper run spot

at first light. If you want 4-5 hours fishing, the earlier

the better as the nor/easter blows up by 11am.

Estuary:

Top or bottom of the tide. I prefer the last 2-3

hours of the run out tide as the bait fish are on

the move.

Amerigo Poli, Italian master crafts-man, sculptor and designer, accompa-nied by his delightful wife Teresa, gave a masterclass to the Shoalhaven Potters’ Society at Pyree in March. He focussed on sculptural techniques us-ing clay. Amerigo Poli came to Australia in 1982. He is primarily a figurative sculptor, quick of hand and keen of eye working deftly with few tools. In the master-class he demonstrated armature con-struction along with other techniques which he displayed with the calm acui-ty of a master. His drawings and sketches show the classical tradition of his heritage. He displayed an absolute command of anatomy and an acute sensitivity to form and structure. His techniques have been honed over the course of a lifetime’s work. While working away he was freely answering questions, laughing, singing, sharing thoughts and displaying his technical command to the room of people who were mesmerised into silence! It was a wonderfully fulfilling day to observe. The Shoalhaven Potters Society con-sists of relaxed and very interested people from the area – including some from Greenwell Point. The group meets every Monday at Pyree. They are a very welcoming group and can offer beginner lessons, supplies, and assistance through to specialised fir-ings. Peter Talty.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Gazette Congratulations on the last issue of The Gazette. It was the best I have read. Tony Gassmann Jim Wallis and GP History Group I have known Jim since the 1970’s in the capacity of Progress Association, History Group volunteer work at the school and as a resident. During that time I have admired his energy for the environment etc and was particularly overwhelmed by the time and energy he put into the 1988 Bicentenary celebrations held here at the Point. I was told you regularly spend time at the Gallery and may have read Jim’s account of that time in one of the large books. The special week-end of the launching of The Green-well Point Book – An Early Port, was one when most of the population of The Point participated and the friendship was contagious even with the children, especially those who usually were in trouble. Jim put these to good use in the re-enactment of the landing of Bass at the waterfront and they all were so proud and carried out their duties well. Our History Group has been desper-ately in need of membership as Jim as President, myself Secretary and my daughter Linda Wilson, reluc-tantly took on the Treasurer’s posi-tion on the death of our dear friend Mrs Margaret McGuire, OAM, are the only members. I believe you are inserting a tribute to Jim in the next edition of the Ga-zette and I was hoping you might, when you mention the great contribution he has made to our local history, also mention how desperate we are for new executive and members. You and your committee do a great job with the Gazette. Kind regards Doris Hoffman The above letter has been edited. Anyone interested in joining the History Group is urged to contact
