GARAGE - MOVING SALE
---------------------------------------
Tall boy, bedside tables, bookshelf, knick knacks, tools, books.
Saturday July 22, From 8am - 1pm
2 Albert Street, Cooma.
Need to take a day off from the slopes?
-------------------------------------------------
You don’t have to go far to soak up the beauty and history of the Snowy Monaro, with the charming townships of Delegate and Bombala just over an hour’s drive from Jindabyne.
MORNING
Set off down the Snowy River Way and enjoy one of the most scenic roads in the region. Get up close and personal with the wind turbines as you drive through Boco Rock Wind Farm and keep an eye out for miniature donkeys at the iconic Jincumbilly railway siding.
Stop at one of Bombala’s many cafes and grab a coffee before taking a stroll down Maybe St to explore the unique gift, garden and homeware stores.
Platypus are still active in the rivers and streams and the Platypus Reserve is a great place to see them, just five kilometres from Bombala. The reserve also offers two bird hides, which provide ideal spots to photograph bird life. Take a stroll around Bombala’s scenic River Walk for more photo opportunities. For keen walkers, the South East Forests are a great place to visit at this time of the year with new walks at Nunnock Swamp to explore. Myanba Gorge Lookout also provides beautiful views of the creeks and waterfalls as they cascade through the forest.
LUNCH
Experience real country hospitality at one of Bombala’s lovely lunch spots. The locals love to chat and will often have a few recommendations of their own.
After refueling, head down to the Bombala Historic Railway Station, which is the most southern station on the Goulburn-Bombala line. The station is no longer in use and now houses a small museum and lavender distilling plant for visitors to explore.
AFTERNOON
Keep heading south to the border-town of Delegate, a historic village nestled among prime grazing land and breathtaking national parks.
Visit the Early Settlers Hut, believed to be the first European dwelling on the Monaro, and see how the pioneers lived. The Settlers Hut has been lovingly restored and is maintained by a dedicated group of local volunteers.
The History Museum at the Delegate School of Arts traces the involvement of community members in global conflicts and has excellent displays, including an impressive stone monument that commemorates the “Men from Snowy River March”, which left from Delegate.
The Bundian Way and Borderline Galleries have excellent exhibitions all year round.
HAVE MORE TIME?
Bushwalkers will love the range of walks in the surrounding National Parks with tall gums, impressive waterfalls and panoramic views from Mt Kosciusko to the coast. Have a four-wheel-drive? There are plenty of tracks in the surrounding area, with spectacular views from Mt Tingiringi.
Keen fishermen would no doubt know about the Delegate River and other local streams which boast some of the best trout fishing in Australia. Delegate and Bendoc both have active fishing clubs.
NEED TO ESCAPE THE WEATHER?
On a rainy day, visit the brand-new Platypus Country Visitor Information Centre in Bombala and take a walk back in time through the Lavender House Lions Folk Museum.
The iconic Burnima Homestead is open the first Saturday of the month for tours at 10am and noon. Make sure to book ahead by calling 6458 3042 as these tours are extremely popular.
One day is never enough, and there are plenty of unique accommodation options in the area. Check out www.visitnsw.com.au for more information.

920g truffle worth the wait
---------------------------------
After 10 years of hard work and patience, Jeff and Judy Green at ‘Bredbo Oaks’ have just unearthed their first truffle - a 920g monster.
“It’s pretty close to the record,” says Jeff. The huge black Périgord truffle isn’t far off the world’s biggest, a 1.5kg truffle found on a farm in the Yarra Valley in 2016. After ten years of hard work, Jeff and Judy have finally been rewarded with a prize valued at $2,500/kg.
The Greens retired 15 years ago with no knowledge or desire to farm truffles. They were caravanning around Australia and had settled on the Gold Coast when their son rang.
“He asked if we’d thought about a tree change,” says Jeff. “He was considering buying a farm to grow truffles. I said to Judy, ‘what the hell is a truffle?’”
After extensive research, Jeff and Judy decided to take the risk and moved to a farm 6km out of Bredbo. They bought oak tree seedlings from a lab in Tasmania, which had inoculated the roots with the spores of truffles imported from France. For ten years, they worked tirelessly to care for over 400 trees through hot summers and freezing winters, all the while waiting for the first truffle to arrive. Jeff describes the process as similar to waiting for a baby, “but babies don’t take ten years”.
Judy says that truffles are much more work.
When the sweet smell of truffle was in the air, they called upon their neighbours at Macenmist Truffles to help find the ‘black gold’. Barbara Hill and her specially trained truffle dog, Fahren weaved through the rows of oak trees before the dog caught a whiff of the treasure. She dug at the earth to mark the spot, then Barbara and Jeff went to work digging it out.

Lachlan at his very best at NSW country swim meet
-------------------------------------------------------
Lachlan Sky, the 10-year-old swimmer from Cooma recently competed at the NSW Short Course Country Championships held at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre in Homebush over 1 July and 2 July.
Lachlan qualified for 10 swimming races, across eight individual and two relay events. He had a great carnival and swam his fastest times, breaking his personal bests on numerous occasions. Lachlan received three medals; a Silver medal in the 100 freestyle event with a PB of 1.05.77, a Bronze medal in the 50 freestyle with a PB of 30.91, and a Bronze medal in the 100 backstroke event with a PB of 1.19.08.
He also broke the ACT 100m freestyle record for the 10-year-old boys division at the NSW Short Course Country Championships. Lachlan set a new record of 1:05:77, smashing the previous record of 1:07:10, set in 2000, by 1.33 seconds.
“He was most proud of his silver medal, because he really surprised himself with how fast he swam,” Laura Sky, Lachlan’s mother, said.
To compete at the Championships a swimmer must first meet the qualifying time before being able to enter. Lachlan meet the qualifying time for 8 individual events ( 50m freestyle, backstroke breaststroke and butterfly and the 100m freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke and butterfly).
In addition to his individual events Lachlan was selected by his club’s head coach to swim in two 12 yrs boys relay teams at the Championship. He was selected to swim the anchor leg of the 12 year old boys freestyle relay and to swim the backstroke leg of the 12 yr old boys medley relay .

After a slow start Cooma Stallions come home over the top of arch rivals Bega Roosters
--------------------------------------------------------------
On what started as a beautiful, but ended as a cold and windy, winter day all four Cooma teams played the Bega Roosters at Bega Sportsground.
Alpine Motor Group U18s
With no reserves on the bench Cooma got away to a good start with hard working hooker James Hayden scoring an early try. James Cahill couldn’t add the extras. 4-0. In the next set Cooma were again full of running and made a long break down the right edge, unfortunately half Keegan Caldwell held onto his pass slightly too long and passed behind winger Bailey Rogers out over the side line. Both teams were attacking well with the ball going from end to end. Eventually a Bega forward broke through in the centre and showing considerable speed outpacing fullback Jake Hedger to score. 4-6. In the next set a mistake by Cooma, compounded by an offside penalty resulted in Bega again scoring a converted try. 4-12. In Cooma’s next set smart play resulted in right centre Jamie Rogers scoring far out near the right sideline. James Cahill missed the conversion. 8-12.
Bega came back with a long range backline movement which broke down near Cooma’s line resulting in an accidental offside penalty to Cooma. Within three plays hooker Hayden set up forward James Cahill to score out near their left touchline. Bailey Rogers converted and Cooma hit the front again. 14-12. Just on the stroke of half time Bega scored another converted try, despite the best efforts of Cooma half Keegan Caldwell, to lead 14-18.
After half time the game started as 12 a side, with Keegan off for the first 15 minutes, recovering from an injury taken in trying to save the try. Bega started the half strongly with a long run, defused when James Cahill forced their player into touch. In Bega’s next set a high bomb was taken well by fullback Jake Hedger, but in the next play Cooma knocked on, and quick hands saw the ball out wide and over the try line on our left edge. 14-24. Shortly afterwards Bega again made a long raid into Cooma’s half, only to knock-on, fullback Hedger immediately responded with his own long return run, only to pass out over the sideline. Bega retaliated with another long raid which saw them score a converted try. 14-30.

Tolina said she sent her application including reliable references and numerous documents in March this year and out of the 96 applicants who applied, 42 were successful and received the funding of $2,500.
Tolina is close to achieving her Pilot Certificate and will use the scholarship funds to complete her course and finalise the navigation/cross country training. On top of this, final exams and an in-flight test, will see Tolina qualify as a solo pilot.
“Once I complete my course, it means I can fly on my own, whenever and wherever I want,” she said.
Flying has always been a tradition in the Tolina’s family, with her great-grandfather, grandmother and father all being able to fly.
“I have always had an interest in wanting to fly,” she said.
Tolina recently attended an interview with the Australian Defence Force in Canberra to learn what job roles are available but said she is indecisive about her dream job as there is so much on offer in the industry.
Toli has been working towards her Pilot Certificate since February last year, and there’s been a few nervous moments in the sky since then.
“One of my first nerve wrenching moments flying solo was when the wind changed direction on my first circuit. I knew I couldn’t really drop from the sky, I just had to apply everything I had learned over the years,” she said.

Well done, you are a champion! May all your dreams come true!
Congratulations well done xxoo
Well done Tolina

Bombala teams pay tribute to Women in League at home games
------------------------------------------------------------
On Saturday July 15, the Bombala District Blue Heelers combined with the Bombala Junior League to hold a great day of footy.
Ladies League Tag
It was great to see the Bombala ladies celebrating Women in League all donning pink socks. The League tag under 12s Pink Pups and 16s Pink Heelers, were also present in their pink socks and as a feature dedicated to the role of women in League, they ran out with the High Heelers as they took the field.
As the whistle blew the High Heelers were strong from the outset defending extremely well. It took just four minutes until Patrice Clear was able to slice through defenders and streak away to score opening points under the black dot. With the conversion successful it was 6-0. From the next kick off Georgie Clarke would run a great hole out wide, soon linking up with speedster Tash Stewart. Stewart would speed away untouched under the posts. Next points would come from a quick penalty tap where Monique Perkins fed an elusive inside ball to a steaming Keiarna Rodwell who caught out the defenders, striding away to score again under the posts. Rodwell bagged another before half time where she found space out wide again. The Heelers took to the sheds with a comfortable lead 22-0. After the break the Eden girls came out determined not to give up. The away team scored first as the speed of Angeline Blackburn allowed her to slip past Bombala’s defensive line untagged. The rest of the second half seemed more evenly matched as the Heelers tried out some different player combinations. Amy Stone was a standout with her great line breaks and fierce running game. Last points of the day were scored by Monique Perkins, taking a quick scoot from dummy half and finding the line catching the Eden defenders out on their feet.

Take Potluck Opens in Jindabyne
--------------------------------------
If you have driven along Thredbo Terrace in Jindabyne lately, you would have noticed a very stylish and shiny ‘Priscilla-like’ trailer parked on the corner outside Sacred Ride.
This is the base for Jindabyne’s newest fast food business Take Potluck established by a local family - Sandy Muston, his wife Rhonda Howie, daughter Rachel and partner Andy Duarte.
Sandy moved here from Sydney seventeen years ago for a cool change, initially for two years and they never left. “It is a gorgeous place” says Sandy.
Cooking wholesome meals for large crowds is not daunting for Sandy as he spent many years cooking for hungry students at his child-care centre in Sydney and SCEGGS Redlands.
The idea for the mobile catering business has been stewing with Sandy for a while, and once Sacred Ride agreed to the site and the trailer became available… all systems were go and the opening was set for Monday July 17.
On the menu for opening day lunch were two favourite popular winter warmers, Pumpkin Soup and Fried Rice, both at an affordable $9 per serve. First customers were Erin and Eric from Jindabyne who eagerly ordered the Fried Rice and were really delighted with their choice. Erin said “it’s amazing, really good and it’s fresh. It is great to a new takeaway in town with a different dinner menu each day.” Eric refrained from commenting as he had his mouth full! As a busy mechanic, he likes to get a wholesome and fast hot meal in his short lunch break.

Local apprentice recognised in 2017 NSW Training Awards
--------------------------------------------------------------
Jindabyne Auto Repairs apprentice, Kate Brown was recently awarded a Certificate of Excellence from the NSW Skills Board, NSW Education and NSW TAFE for the Illawarra Region. This award enables her to vie for the NSW Award to be announced early in September, and possibly on to the National Vocational Training Awards.
Kate was playing rugby at the Jindabyne Rugby Club when she met Matt Fish, proprietor of Jindabyne Auto Repairs, and he offered her an apprenticeship in 2013.
“I always wanted to do a trade” Kate states.
Three days a week Kate travelled to Cooma TAFE, with the rest of the week spent in the workshop with her employer. The term of indenture is usually four years, but now the NSW Skills Board allows apprentices to be signed-off during the fourth year if they are competent.
Competent is an understatement, as Kate achieved 100% marks in all topics, which is not a bad result for someone who has been away from a classroom for a few years.
”Kate fits in and does her job well - a model employee who is diligent, reliable and uses her initiative.” Matt said.
Kate arrived in Jindabyne from Scone to work her first ski season in 2010 as a lift operator at Blue Cow, and as a Professional Ski Patroller for Perisher Resort. Apart from skiing, rugby was her other sporting interest, so Kate joined the Jindabyne Rugby Club, playing for the ‘Miss Piggies’.
After the women’s team folded three years ago, Kate continued her rugby career with the Tuggeranong Vikings, playing every weekend and travelling to Canberra, whilst fitting that in with her studies. The Vikings remain undefeated this season, aiming to topple the reigning premiers, the Canberra Royals.

New dance studio offers dance and musical theatre
-------------------------------------------------------
Cooma’s newest dance studio, Snowy Mountains Performing Arts Academy, offers all forms of dance and musical theatre, bringing the energy and exhilaration of performing arts to thousands of locals.
The academy is owned and operated by Lisa McGowan, who has recently taken over Cooma Dance Co, following the unexpected passing of Lisa Brooks. The academy offers a fun and instructive dance experience and a variety of classes from pre-schoolers to adults.
“I didn’t really plan on taking over a dance school when we moved to Cooma.
“I got dobbed in by an ex-colleague from Sydney when I first moved to town, and had been teaching dance with Lisa Brooks since,” Lisa said.
Lisa and her family moved to Cooma in 2006 to manage motels. Prior to that, she owned a dance school in Sydney and relocated to Canberra in 1999. Dancing has been a huge part of Lisa’s life, with her mother being one of Sydney’s most successful dance teachers, and her daughter Leah, also a qualified dance teacher.
Lisa was born to dance and has been dancing since she could walk. Her first memory of dancing was when she was just four-years old and was awarded the ‘Youngest ballerina’ prize at the St. George Eisteddfod in Sydney. As a dancer herself, Lisa’s best memories are making strong friendships, and of course the competitions.
“Like any other competition, you’re competing against of group of people that you become tight with and make strong friendships with,” she said.
Lisa was responsible for the choreography in the Journey to the Olympics, that included the Opening Ball at Town Hall in Sydney.

Our Snowy Scheme through the lens
---------------------------------------
Award-winning documentary landscape and architectural photographer, Chris Round, has exhibited both in Australia and overseas and is now turning his attention to the Snowy Mountains Scheme.
“I've been interested in the Scheme for a while and it occurred to me that, despite numerous archival/historical exhibitions and much commercial photography, there hasn't been a cohesive, contemporary photographic document of the Scheme and the area,” he says.
Chris aims to capture the heart of the Snowy Mountains: the architecture, landscapes, recreational activities, people, towns and other aspects, in one complete series.
“The Scheme is such an important part of our history, as is the area in general. With renewable energy discussions and the changing climate, it seems a great time to be creating a story about it, even though I’ll be leaving those politically sensitive themes largely alone.”
Chris hopes to create a body of work worthy of a significant travelling exhibition in metropolitan and regional galleries, book publication and hopefully inclusion in a national heritage collection in the future.
“Parliament NSW recently acquired one of my images for their permanent collection, so it seems to be heading in the right direction,” he says.
As well as creating images of the Scheme’s structures and waterways, this is also a project about the region and its people.
“As part of my body of work I am taking portraits of people I meet during my visits,” Chris says.
“Though this is not a historical account, I think it’s vitally important to include portraits of people who were involved in the construction of the Scheme and perhaps their relatives. It would be great to meet up with people and hear about their stories and discuss how they feel about the Scheme, as well as taking their portrait or taking candid photos of them,” he says.

Jindabyne Sports Still Fabulous @ Fifty!
---------------------------------------------
Turning 50 years old is a milestone that most people celebrate, but in retail business it is certainly a rarity. Jindabyne Sports has achieved that mark in the same central Jindabyne CBD location.
Since opening its doors in 1967, Ron and Helen Clark, and son Peter and daughter-in-law Sue have served countless skiing visitors and locals. There are not many stores that can spout such an extensive contribution to the snow industry throughout the years.
What began as an opportunity for Ron when the initial ‘Mick Simmons Sports’ franchise was closing down, soon turned into a booming business as it grew from a humble small sports store into an institution for locals and ski visitors alike to outfit themselves for the snow once they got to town.
Peter, who grew up and worked his whole life in the store, took over the family business. He expanded and grew the locations out to include a retail store and demo centre in Thredbo and extended the main central store into the adjoining former butcher shop in the Old Town Centre.
Some recent changes in structure has seen a new setup for the iconic ski shop.
Last May, Jindabyne Sports separated the clothing, rental, ski tuning and accessories side of the business and sold it to long time employees, Nicole and Craig Hemsley.
With the same location, but now with a wall in place dividing the two, the skis, ski boots and newly formed bike aspect are still operated by Peter and Sue Clark next door and is now known as Gravity Skis-Boots-Bikes.
Despite the new changes there is one thing that is ever lasting with how the business is run and that is passion. With a solid reputation for expertise in all things snow, there has always been a focus on excellence with equipment sales, rentals, repairs and tuning, boot fitting, clothing and accessories.
New owners Nicole and Craig met whilst skiing and working overseas in Calgary, Alberta. They both have a long-held passion for skiing and have many years of experience in customer service and sales in the ski industry. Craig is a qualified boot-fitter and ski tuner and had worked for the Clarks prior to buying the business. Nicole cut her teeth under Sue’s leadership in learning the ins and outs of softgoods purchasing. She has also had extensive experience in front of house, product range, buying and book-keeping. Together, their complementary skills and experience make for a great business team.
With the retail landscape ever changing, there have been massive changes not only in the type of clothing and equipment used on the mountain, but also how businesses interact with their customers.
“The future for Jindabyne Sports is about developing customer relationships,” Craig says.
“So we have created a new online store to display our offering for people before they walk in the door.”
Craig is also responsible for maintaining and engaging the outreach with social media marketing.
Moving into the next 50 years, Nicole and Craig are both committed and focused on keeping a “family store” feel about Jindabyne Sports, as it has been for its history.
Happy 50th Birthday Jindabyne Sports!
Green Machine Adventure Flights
-----------------------------------------
Most visitors get their first glimpse of Lake Jindabyne as they drive around the bend at East Jindabyne heading west, and the road drops away to reveal the enormous expanse of water. Each day brings different colours, patterns and moods with the backdrop of the mountain ranges soaring behind.
The lake also offers a diverse range of water sports for visitors and locals most of the year. From fishing and boating, to stand-up paddle boarding and water skiing, dragon-boating, sailing and kayaking… or just swimming... Lake Jindabyne has the lot.
Six years ago, Paul Duncan came to Jindabyne to water-ski and decided to move here permanently after experiencing the lake’s magic from the water and the air. “There is nowhere else like this” he states.
Paul, who Is an experienced pilot with many years of flying a variety of aircraft, purchased a Warbird in 2006 from Moruya and started Green Machine Adventure Flights in Canberra. His business now operates from Jindabyne Airfield, off the Barry Way.
The aircraft is a Nanchang CJ6 A, which is a primary trainer with tandem seat, single engine and low wing. The clear perspex canopy over the cockpit and passenger seat allows for excellent visibility whilst flying.
The Nanchang makes a regular appearance at the ANZAC Day Parade above Jindabyne with the Navy helicopters, as Paul is a former member of Fleet Air Maintenance for the Navy. He discovered flying at the age of fourteen and was immediately fascinated. He started flying after leaving the Defence Force, and was involved with Australian Warbirds. It is a wonderful sight, to see these older examples of aviation engineering still performing as if it were yesterday, and that there are still pilots who know how to handle the aircraft.
A Green Machine Adventure Flight lasts for approximately 20 – 30 minutes. A safety briefing follows an explanation of what to expect, the passenger is then buckled up and the aircraft taxis to the runway. Quite often there are wild emus and kangaroos grazing, but the engine noise startles them before take-off.
Paul explains each procedure via the headsets as the plane climbs over Lake Jindabyne from the airport. Cruising is usually at 140 knots, but during manoeuvres the airspeed increases up to 190 knots… or 5G. Passengers can experience barrel rolls, wing overs, loops, aileron rolls, stall turns and Cuban rolls. It happens so quickly… just keep your finger on the camera shutter and hold on tight!
The views of Jindabyne and the lake from the air are breathtaking at any time of year. Whilst the autumn leaves are starting to fall now, the onset of snow would make an equally stunning panorama from above.
Many of Paul’s customers have different reasons for boarding these flights, but the overwhelming reaction is that of exhilaration, and a sense of overcoming any fear of flying.
“Coming back down to earth happens all too soon for most first-time adventure flyers” according to Paul, “they got their Nanchang smile!”
Green Machine Adventure Flights can be contacted on 0448 473 366. Paul is happy to tailor flights to suit each customer, and gift vouchers are available.
This is such an experience and a great gift for a person who is hard to hard to buy for...
Dave you should do this
