GREENWELL POINT’S FORGOTTEN HISTORY The last issue of the Gazette re-ported on two historic sites that were not included in the new LEP. They were the Greenwell Point Hotel and the Greenwell Point Well. Both of these were included in Council’s Heritage study of 2003. The Gazette spoke to John Flett from Shoalhaven Council to understand their ex-clusion. He explained that there must be community support and there must be some original fab-ric of the site remaining. The site, of course, must also be of historic significance. In the case of the Greenwell Point Hotel, on the face of it, there appears to be little left of the original hotel. However it is understood that there has been no study made to determine whether or not there is significant original fabric remaining. There is no doubt that the site is of historic significance. In the case of Greenwell Point Well, it does remain at the east-ern side of 115 Adelaide Street, which is private property. It is understood that although it is not on the heritage list of the LEP

that it is protected as a “relic” by the heritage act and the LEP. Both of the above historic sites do not appear to have much com-munity support. In the case of the hotel it is probably due to any historic feature being obscured by more recent construction or possibly demolition. In the case of the well, the Gazette believes that hardly anyone knows about it and even if they did it is ob-scured by the storage of materi-als.

The Gazette believes that both of these sites have been vital places for Greenwell Point’s history. They should not be forgotten and neglected; they should be pro-tected, enhanced and enjoyed. The Greenwell Point Hotel, origi-nally the Royal, then the Black

Swan, then the Crookhaven, has been a social and hospitality cen-tre of the Point’s life since the early shipping days. Some say the Greenwell Point Well and its green colour gave rise to the name Green Well Point or now Greenwell Point. It is assumed that it was a source of water for early settlers and abo-rigines before. A more recent his-tory of it came from a local who said that he used to catch frogs there when he was a kid.

of Greenwell Point as well con-trolled as our dogs are. If my dog dug and scrapped in the neighbourhoods garden and ter-rorised their animals I would re-ceive many complaints. My neighbourhood is woken early in the morning by the loud alarm calls of our Chooks being harassed by a beautiful fluffy white cat. Without knowing who is responsible for the cat I am faced with fortifying my property or catching the attacker; either way it won’t be pleasant. If only people would keep their animals on their own property. Oh I know what they’re saying “you can’t control where a cat goes”. I know plenty of cats who exercise outside and are still con-tained within the property. Where there’s a will there’s a way. P.S. A used bread bag makes an ideal ‘glove’ for picking up nas-ties. Just flatten an empty bag and fold into 3 along the length of the bag, then again onto 3 width-wise and keep it under a light weight to become incredibly thin. To use: put the bag on l ike a glove, pick up the nasty, pull the bag back over your hand and tie the top in a knot. It takes about 30 seconds. Helen Wheeler

RIP CHARLIE THE COCKATOO

Thanks for the story on our wild mate we called "Charlie". Many folk rang after reading the article to let us know where they'd seen him but we were also informed that the bitter winds of July had treated him badly and that he'd lost the final battle. The caller was kind enough to give him a funeral service. That made us sadly happy. Thanks to all the nice folk of Greenwell Point who cared suffi-ciently to inform us.

Glenys and Mike Smith

MORE ON DOG POO I am in agreement with the Ga-zette’s articles about cleaning up after your pet and keeping it from roaming the neighbour-hood. I would like to see the cats

MEALS ON WHEELS End Of An Era

Meals-On-Wheels at Greenwell Point will merge with Culburra and District MOW early in Sep-tember after 3 decades of provid-ing meals to clients in our vil-lage. Those who began cooking in their homes and later in the Hall Kitchen regret the move from locally cooked to frozen meals. This new move was forced by finances. Many thanks go to all the volunteers past and present. Running the Service for a dozen folk, would make the meals too expensive for clients as funding does not pay any trans-port to the Hall. Particular thanks go to Ann Fran-cis retiring President, who has kept MOW going. Her time will now be spent with her other charities. Several of our current delivery volunteers have already joined Culburra and Districts MOW. They will collect the Masterchef frozen meals from Culburra and deliver as usual. These meals are healthy and cooked from fresh before snap freezing . Unlike commercial offerings, meals are low fat and have no added salt or MSG. Special diet needs are con-sidered wherever possible. There will still be local contacts for new clients, and those just out of Hospital, so that friendly local faces will greet them at their door. Clients enjoy a quick chat and the housebound sometimes see few other visitors. Additional pairs of delivery vol-unteers from The Point may be needed with a routine Police check, sight of driver’s Licence and of your vehicle insurance. There is a petrol reimbursement scheme and personal insurance is in place. Training and practice will be given. Collection is from 8:45 am at Culburra Community Hall next to the Culburra Bowl-ing Club. Ph. Tony 4447 2976

It was a fine August day when I heard a faint hum in the sky. A light plane - or two - came into view, banking over Goodnight Island, throttle down, flying low, s k i m m i n g t h e w a t e r . They banked again, then turned and lost height, just touching the water three or four times, then up again before gliding in to land on the river. The twin sea planes cruised past the main jetty, past the fishing boats and pulled up at the beach at Titania Park. There they moored before hop-ping ashore and buying fish and chips for lunch. I discovered they had already “dropped in” to Gra-dys further up the river. One was a Super Petrel, a three-year-old experimental ultralight air plane made in Brazil piloted by Vic Laybutt and his son Jay from Wedderburn. The other was a Sea Ray under the control of Ben Hunter from Bankstown. Some of the locals who came to look would have liked to wing it with them, but after a quick bite the trio took to the skies again, leaving us to marvel at the spectacle. Greenwell Point is a nice place to drop in for lunch, but the lucky ones get to stay. Still, I wouldn’t mind a bird’s eye view one day!

OUR CLUB GETS BIGGER & BETTER

The Greenwell Point Bowling and Sports Club has recently got much bigger. The snooker area has been expanded and converted into a Function area. Ross McMillan told the Gazette that the new Function Room seats one hundred and twenty persons. It is used for bingo, overflow at peak times, weddings, birthdays etc. The construction work was done by local contractor Jim Carr (TCL Constructions).

Greenwell Point Gazette Volume 81 Sep/Oct 2011 Page 5 JORDO’S PUB BISTRO

On July 7 Nathan Turnbull and his partner Danielle took over the running of the Greenwell Point Pub’s bistro. They named it Jordo’s after their baby son Jor-dan. Nathan’s first foray into the kitchen was as a chef at “Stumpies on Stewart” in Bathurst. But 10 years ago he decided to up sticks and move to Greenwell Point. It didn’t take long to land a job at Pelican Rocks Restaurant, work-ing alongside Colleen and Ron Cardow. And there he met Dan, a Jill-of-all-trades in the kitchen and restaurant. But when the pub’s bistro be-came available in the middle of this year, he and Dan couldn’t resist the challenge – it was time to launch out on their own. The bistro serves quality pub-style food, such as Nathan’s fa-vourite, the GP Special. It’s made up of gril led chicken, tomatoes and chilli, avocado, sour cream, cheese and bacon. The blackboard menu includes entrees, a range of seafood and steak dishes, kids meals, burgers and pasta. Plus there are always several chef’s specials and a vari-ety of desserts.

DEVELOPMENT APPICATIONS

SHOALHAVEN ARCHERY

Archery has been around for quite a long time and there have been a number of developments since it was first used for survival. Nowadays it is considered a sport, not a means to survival, and there is more to it then just a pointy stick and a flingy stick. Yes, today there are archery clubs all around the world and the sport is enjoyed by people o f all ages all year round. In fact, archery can take you all around the world. Barbara McCusker and her partner Barry Hogan, President and Vice-President respec-tively of Shoalhaven City Archers, met on a 3-month archery tournament in Croatia. Through archery, the couple have, between them, travelled to Slove-nia, Wales, Sweden, Greece, Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Korea! Barry and Barbara’s favourite way to shoot is bare-bow and using a recurve bow. Bare-bow means shooting without sights or stabilizers. Recurve bow by de finition means a bow that, when drawn, the curved ends are pulled back to deliver a more power ful shot. All types of bows and all types of a rchery, whether it be shooting at a target, shoot-ing through the forested area or even clout shooting, where a row of people fire up to a target on a hill, all these activities are available at S.C.A. The Shoalhaven City Archers club is located on the road leading into Callala Bay and is open all year round. Whether you have a disability, are a first-timer or you just want to come and see what it is all about, the Club welcomes all above the age o f 10 and is open every Satur-day, unless it is raining or wind speed is too high, from 10:30am to 12:30pm. Archery is a great sport because it‘s relaxing, cheap and is a very social ac-tivity where you can meet new people or just shoot some arrows. It’s $5 for members and only $10 for non-members for a day o f a rchery, so give it a go!

PANAMA TO SAMOA

We left Panama in February, al-ready exhausted with creating a safe world (on our boat) to trav-erse the remotest ocean in the world. We bounced our way down to Easter Island, perpetu-ally under salt waves with 30+ knots, beam-on wind. Mother Nature calmed for our arrival, allowing us to stay at the open anchorage. For a week we marvelled at the majestic silent, stone sentinels which are hum-bling in size, skill and obscurity, their purpose only guessed upon; they stand proud, arrogantly star-ing out along the eye calming vistas. Many theories were tossed around as to their purpose, God’s?, revered members of fam-ily?, boredom? From Easter Island we sailed fur-ther west to Pitcairn. Despite gunwale to gunwale roll ing, we managed to stay for 24 hours, most of the time spent exploring this fascinating place and incredi-ble people that gave us a wel-come like no other. With heavy hearts and the need for a tranquil place to drop the hook, we made way for Isle de Gambiers. Finally in a safe, pro-tected, still anchorage, we could rest properly. The anchorage was almost too good, one night vor-texing 59 knots of gusting winds, spun everyone on anchor. With spiralling winds buffeting us from every direction Pyewacket was propelled over her anchor, which lifted and re-dug, putting us too near a reef. During the me-lee we had to re-anchor, almost losing the boat to the coral heads lurking below . . . a terrifying night we’ll never forget. From the Gambiers, we hoofed it along to the Tuamotus and the Society Islands, revisiting islands and enjoying the blend of de-serted islets and vibrant cities. On our previous pacific crossing

we explored the south Cooks, this time we headed north. Too many enormous frontal systems born from New Zealand lows, were bashing us around. We landed in Suwarrow in July and

found heaven. Two rangers man-age the atoll and welcome cruis-ers. Our weeks there were filled with coconut crab and lobster hunting, fishing, swimming with sharks, extraordinary diving, pot lucks and the most fascinating company. We had tears in our eyes when we left. Now we are in Samoa and finally enjoying the luxuries of a marina. What a joy to not have to watch power and water consumption. The Samoans have welcomed us to their island with great white smiles, mesmerising music and fantastic Polynesian dancing. It will be hard to leave here too. But time is marching on, we plan to land in Bundaberg in October and we still have over two thou-sand ocean miles to traverse. This journey has been hard, or-ganising a new boat to our re-quirements, while doing thou-sands of miles. But the rewards have been breath-taking. New international friends abound and farewells have been heart-wrenching. It’s another journey

we’ll never forget and it’s not over yet! Don’t forget, the magazine Cruis-ing Helmsman regularly pub-lishes detailed stories of Jackie and Noel’s escapades.

Photo above Noel, James, Jackie and John say farewell at Suwar-row. James and John are Cook Islanders and are the Atoll’s rangers, cruisers, caretakers and great ambassadors for their country. Jackie & Noel sometimes l ive in Greenwell Point. They are cur-rently aboard Pyewacket II.

Greenwell Point Gazette Volume 81 Sep/Oct 2011 Page 9 THE WILLIE WAGTAIL

What bird is it that hops about the lawn, And jerks his little tail from side to side?

What bird is that early every morn, Awaits me without fail, and does not hide?

The feathers on his back are black as night. But then, the feathers on his front are white,

I don’t know what it is, but my first guess Would be a sparrow in his evening dress.

PATRICIA’S HATS It is just about that time of the year again. Hats and races and Melbourne Cup and hats. Greenwell Point milliner, Patricia Llewellyn, is presenting a collec-tion of her mill inery at the Gal-lery and Craft Shop during Octo-ber. The collection features col-ourful, reasonably priced hats and fascinators. Just the thing for those Cup parties and events. Patricia has provided hats to the fashion industry over many years. She also lectures in milli-nery at the Whitehouse Institute of Design, in Sydney.

SCHOOL

GTTP MEETING 18 AUGUST 11

NEW BUSINESS The Chairman is attempting to arrange for a representative from Council to attend the 15 September meeting to answer questions and advise on the dif-ferent effects of the LEP. Marion Walliss is going to com-plete the form nominating a wor-thy volunteer for the Hidden Treasures -2011 Honour Roll. It will go to GTTP committee for consideration before any public release. Keys for the notice board outside the Hall are held by President and Gallery. Notices to be taken down as they become outdated. Notice could be put inside the board to advise point of contact for the key. For both Titania and Anzac parks, lighting and repair of ta-bles and benches was raised. There are lights over the chil-drens’ play equipment but they are never on. Simon Fraser is happy to follow up to ensure lighting is effective. Also Coun-cil to be informed of breakages of tables and benches in Anzac and Titania Parks. Crookhaven Park is being sub-jected to anti-social behavior both during daytime and night hours. Excessive noise, wheelies and donuts are irritating, but more importantly they have be-come dangerous as it is a chil-drens’ play zone. Council is to be approached to fit barriers to prevent cars from driving on to the grassed area. For gallery activities Marion Walliss put forward a suggestion that the word “oversee”, although perfectly acceptable for the cur-rent incumbent should be changed to a word that would presume a more equitable stand-ing. It was also suggested that further advertising should be given to the

Thai Chi lessons as the person giving the lessons needs to have a class of about 9 or 10 to make it profitable for him to continue. Further to a previous notice in the Gazette, Barry Allen put for-ward a proposal that the farmers might keep the road clean where it is necessary for the cows to cross over at milking time. Sug-gestions were a road blanket or for the road to be washed. He has approached council individu-ally as well. The President has contacted SCC and suggest we await final designs and studies by Council as this is a Black Spot funded project. Owen Smith was a late arrival and so only touched on the Berry Wharf proposal. He will be at the next meeting when David Llewellyn will be present as he is the person most up to date with where it is at. ONGOING BUSINESS Guest speaker - it was reiterated that Karen Baldwyn will address the 20 October meeting and that the various Greenwell Point com-munity organizations are being informed by email or telephone of her visit and a special mention for younger members of the com-munity to also come along so that they can be informed for passing information on to the elders of their family or friends. Community Sign for Greenwell Point. More discussions were held to look at the viability of a sign on the approach to Green-well Point detailing a directory of what is available in the village. The position of the sign is to be determined along with the de-tails. It was noted that the new pontoon area had new enclosed structures erected for informa-tion. Information will be sought from Council if these could be used for the directory. Historical Berry Wharf. Great historical ruin and it is histori-cally listed. The Committee con-

firmed at this meeting that it sup-ported progress towards restoring the area. Berry’s Wharf restora-tion elevated to State signifi-cance. Tidying up of Telstra site. Greenwell Point sign on highway needs to be re-erected by volun-teers. Solar Lighting – Pathway. The committee has been successful in achieving funding for some Solar Bollard l ights to illuminate the pathway between the Pontoon & Albert St. They will be installed by GP Volunteers in August/September. Hands up if able to volunteer. Still awaiting deliv-ery. Please contact Ron Vaughan.

The Committee’s AGM was on Thursday, September 15 at 10:30 am. A new Treasurer and Chair are needed as both are joining the grey nomads for a year or so. We do have assistants for both posi-tions. Members mainly come from user groups, so they are already heavily involved in vol-unteer work assisting the com-munity. Annual turnover is mod-est and covers minor mainte-nance, GST, electricity, cleaning and mowing. The Council now owns the RSL Hall so it is better to keep func-tion keys at The Point (and keep the charges down) instead of driving to Council Chambers to hire the Hall. If you are newly retired or staying at home, these jobs may interest you. Phone Laine on 4447-0085 for more details. There have been successful fam-ily run 21st and 18 th parties this year.
