Ken Jeffrey’s involvement has been hands-on, including helping with it’s painting

Jamberoo Rotunda ready for dedication Ken Jeffrey is extremely proud of the

way that the Jamberoo community

came behind the initiative to build a

rotunda in Reid Park as a permanent

tribute to the Centenary of ANZAC.

He invites everyone to the official

opening of the rotunda, when the

building will be used as a band stand

for the first time. Both the Kiama

Pipe Band and the Salvation Army

Band will play at the occasion.

The classic design suits the setting

so well it looks like it has always

been there. There is no doubt it

will quickly become a focal point

for activities in the Park, such as

concerts and weddings.

Ken says the $38,000 needed

was raised in record time, and

particularly wants to acknowledge

the support of Bell Tower B&B,

Bluescope Steel, Burnett Trees,

Lighthouse a beacon for ANZAC tributes Within moments of it being

attached to the Kiama

Lighthouse, the official

Centenary of ANZAC logo

became the backdrop for

visitors’ photographs.

“The Kiama Blowhole

is one of the most visited

places in Australia,” says

Ian Pullar, President of the

Kiama-Jamberoo RSL and

one of the driving forces

behind the project. “If the

emblem gives them cause

to stop and reflect on the

sacrifices that have been

made, then we will have

achieved our goal.”

The emblem will be on

the Lighthouse for an initial

two years, with a review

possibly extending it until

the centenary of the end of

WWI in 2018.

Colonel Pullar sees the

tribute as an opportunity

to educate people about

the significance of ANZAC

to the Australian psyche.

“We get so many overseas

visitors here, and they are

unlikely to be aware of the

contribution that Australia

has made to many theatres

of war,” he says. “More-

over, the Gallipoli landing

forged values of mateship,

a fair go and perseverance.”

Plan your ANZAC Day 5am Dawn Service at Kiama Lighthouse, with images

of the Gallipoli landing projected on screens and

choirs singing. Blowhole Pt closed to traffic.

Parking at Showground.

10.30 District Parade starts from outside the Council

Chambers, and proceeds onto the Memorial Arch,

led by the Kiama Lighthorse, with a flyover.

A Dawn Service is also on at Gerringong Headland at 6am

Fashion for a cause Kiama Hospital Auxiliary

is holding its annual

fashion parade, with

Kiama’s Maci Fashions

showcasing a selection of

fashions, shoes, handbags

and jewellery at the event.

Entry includes afternoon

tea and a chance to win

lucky door prizes. There

will also be a raffle.

Details: Mon 4 May,

CMRI Gerringong presents:

Mothers’ Day High Tea & Fashion Parade

There’s something

a little bit decadent

about combining good

old country cooking

with the latest fashions,

but the hard workers of

CMRI Gerringong are

just the ones to pull it

off. Their annual High

Tea has been a popular

event for a number

of years because of

the delicious array of

sweet and savoury food

they whip up. This year, a fashion parade is being added

to make the occasion an even better way to relax with

friends, and it is being moved indoors to take the weather

out of the equation.

There will be a glass of bubbly on arrival, as well as

lucky door prizes and a raffle. Fashions are being supplied

by Gerringong’s Anna Lou and First & Forever, Kiama’s

Bombo Clothing and Berry’s Nortje by Geraldine.

The parade is being co-ordinated by one of CMRI’s

younger members, Olivia Yeatman, to appeal to a wide

range of ages and showcase the best of the coming season.

As always, funds raised will help the important work

being done by the Children’s Medical Research Institute.

The tickets would make a great Mothers’ Day treat.

Details: Sat 9 May, Gerringong Town Hall. $25 tickets are

available from Cronin’s Liquor, Blackwood St, Gerringong

Social justice discussion All are invited to join a

discussion on the topic

Sipping from the Fickle

Cup of Luck – some practi-

in economics and is now

a Senior Lecturer in the

Sociology Department at

Macquarie University.

All welcome.

emerged from their mem-

bers’ sheds. Most items

are for sale.

Details: Old Fire Station

Gallery, 9-4pm from

21-27 April. Closed ANZAC

Day morning.

Two Up for a good cause Following the success the Kiama Relay for Life Fantastic

Friends Team had with its ANZAC Day fundraiser last

year, it has combined with Team Bling It On to do it

again. Both teams now go under the name of Rize Up,

after their sponsor Rize Up Fitness, and they want as

many people as possible come to their ANZAC Day

Family Fun Day.

For the kids, there will be games and an ANZAC

biscuit eating competition. Adults can enjoy the novelty

of playing Two Up with special paper ‘money’ which also

double as raffle tickets. So the more you win, the more

chance you have of winning! There will be a sausage

sizzle, slushies, drinks from the bar, a chocolate wheel

and other activities.

Last year, they raised over $2,500 and are hoping to

better that this year.

Details: From noon at the Kiama Downs Surf Club.

$10 entry for adults (which gives you a players’ pack

for Two Up); children are free.

When Terragong, the home

of the Marks family since

it was built in the 1850s,

was finally sold last year

many wondered what fate

awaited it.

Of all of Kiama’s grand

houses, Terragong is held

with special regard by

many because of its land-

mark position on the way

to Jamberoo.

Its gracious Georgian

elegance, under the shade

of old magnolia trees, is

on display to passersby -

making people who have

never entered its doors still

hold it in great affection.

The good news is it is

again a family home, this

time to Simon Milner and

Darryl Gordon. They fell in

love with it at first inspect-

ion, and can’t believe their

luck that they now live

there.

“We really only consid-

ered the house and its prox-

imity to Sydney when decid-

ing to move down here,”

says Darryl. “All the other

things that we have discov-

ered since moving down

here - the village atmos-

phere, the great beaches,

the proximity to the High-

lands, the Farmers’ Market,

the friendly neighbours -

have been bonuses.”

The extent of the renov-

ations necessary to the herit-

age house didn’t daunt them,

given Darryl’s experience

as the principal of Darryl

Gordon Design, a leading

design and construct serv-

ices business. He’s relishing

having his own home to

work on, particularly one

with such good bones and

so many of its original fea-

tures intact.

Plans, which take in to

account the heritage preser-

vation requirements, have

been approved, and the old

kitchen will be demolished

in June, as it holds no archi-

tectural significance. It is to

be replaced with a barn-like

kitchen/dining extension in

keeping with the proportions

of the original house.

The rest of Terragong has

already got much needed

TLC, with the original floor-

boards emerging from under

layers of carpet and lino.

Extensive electrical work

was a priority, as was repair-

ing the many wooden win-

dows and doors.

“We were lucky enough

to lure someone with a great

deal of experience caring

for National Trust houses

out of retirement to do the

work,” says Darryl. “It took

him two months to repair

all the sash windows and

French doors.”

The plans include approval

to incorporate a three room

B&B into the building.

This element plays to

Simon’s strengths and

experience in hospitality

and marketing. He has held

senior positions with the

Hyatt Hotel chain and lead-

ing airlines.

“While our main priority

is to make it our home, we

are building in the opport-

unity to create a business

that suits our lifestyle,”

he says. “We are right on

a designated tourist route,

and who wouldn’t like to

stay here?”

There is also the possibil-

ity to use the property for

events and functions, but

that is well into the future.

“We are both still working

on other projects at the

moment,” says Simon.

“We can see the potential

is there, but we’re happy to

just establish the B&B first

and see what develops.”

One of Terragong’s attrac-

tions is its established

garden and the twelve acres

of rich agricultural land

surrounding it, and they too

are in good hands. The pair

have engaged leading land-

scape architect Myles

Baldwin, a period garden

expert who has worked on

the gardens at Bronte House,

Government House and

Boomerang, and achieved

Get into

your Garden Are you finding your Azaleas

are covered at the moment in

a powdery white film? Do the

undersides of the leaves ap-

pear dotted with black spotty

droppings? Yes, it’s Azalea

Lace Bug that’s the offending

character and there’s not too

much you can do to stop the

bug-gars.

The damage, which looks

a little like that of thrip, is

there to stay but hopefully

only for the current set of

leaves.

Azalea Lace Bug is an

introduced pest, native to

Japan. The adults are approxi-

mately 4mm long, cream

coloured and have delicate

lace-like forewings. They lay

their eggs mostly along t

he midrib or larger veins of

the leaves or cemented on

the leaf surface over winter.

The nymphs have numerous

dark-brown spines projecting

from the sides of their bodies.

Azalea Lace Bugs congre-

gate on the under surfaces of

the leaves and damage the

plant by sap sucking. As these

bugs are very small they are

not usually detected until

damage is visible on the plant.

They can cause considerable

damage to even the most

established of plants and if

they are to be controlled it

needs to be early when popu-

lations are low.

This pest mostly attacks

Azaleas and Rhododendrons

but will also attack other or-

namentals such as Viburnums

and Crab Apples, mostly in

spring and summer.

Once they are established

it is too late to treat or re-

verse the damage.

Proactively, you can spray

plants with a systemic insecti-

cide in late winter or early

spring which the bugs will

ingest when they suck the

sap. If timed correctly a single

treatment should control

them. There are no tried and

tested organic controls for

this pest but soap sprays and

yellow sticky traps can be

effective before their popula-

tion becomes too large.

For now, cut off the

offending leaves and spend

your energy instead feeding

your plants and giving them a

good seaweed solution drink

because healthy plants are

less likely to fall prone to pest

and disease infestations.

On another note, Burnetts

on Barney will be closed this

Saturday, 25 April as a mark

of respect for ANZAC Day.

We will continue to have

ANZAC plant releases,

including the new Callistemon

White ANZAC, and of course

punnets of Flanders Poppies,

available beyond ANZAC Day.

The Friends of Kiama

Library’s next author talk

is by Karen Viggers, who

will address the topic Find-

ing Stories in Australian

Landscapes. Her novels

include The Stranding,

The Lightkeeper's Wife and

the recently published work

The Grass Castle. Her latest

novel is a moving story of

displacement and belonging

based on a family forced off

its property in the Brindabella Valley, made famous by

Miles Franklin.

Now living in Canberra, Karen comes from Healesville,

the semi-rural town in the Yarra Valley in Victoria,

where she worked in a veterinary practice. She has a PhD

in wildlife health and works part-time as a vet. The char-

acter of Abby, the young ecologist in The Grass Castle,

no doubt draws from Karen's recent research interest

studying kangaroos.

The event will provide opportunity for plenty of discus-

sion as well as book purchase and signature.

Details: Sat 2 May at 2.30pm in the Family History

Centre, under the Library. $5 for Friends of the Library

or $8 for visitors, including afternoon tea.

As a follow up to the Lloyd

Rees Festival, a new project

is being undertaken to create

a permanent tribute to Lloyd

Rees at the Gerringong

Bowling Club. The Rees family first came

to Gerringong in the early

1940s and the South Coast

landscape inspired the artist

for more than 40 years. The

cottage remains in the own-

ership of the family today.

The plan is for an archive

of memories, a selection of

framed prints and informa-

tion about Lloyd Rees and

his connection to Gerrin-

gong to be on display in

the downstairs Werri Room.

According to Club Direc-

tor, Sandra McCarthy, “The

Club’s interest in the project

arose from its strategic

vision to foster community

values and to partner with

other community groups and

enterprises including the

Gerringong Museum, who

assisted the project. In the

longer term it would be the

Club’s aim to engage with

the community and support

the creation of a lasting me-

morial honoring Lloyd Rees

and his connection to Werri

Beach and South Coast.”

Members of the public

who still have memories of

the artist living and working

around Gerringong are

invited to submit their

stories to the archive.

To submit your own local history memory about

Lloyd Rees:

• written accounts - please

send in or drop off to

Club, Pacific Avenue,

Project’)

ance to record your mem-

ory please contact Penny

Fingers crossed that the weather

clears for this year’s Wings Over the

Illawarra, as it had to be cancelled last

year for that reason. A really nasty

turn in the weather grounded virtually

all of the planes due to take part.

This year, the Show is back bigger

and better than ever, including moving

to a two day format, following a

strategic partnership with Paul Bennet

Airshows. “Wings Over Illawarra is

Sydney’s air show and has a tremen-

dous future, beginning with its two

day format in 2015 followed by the

planned addition of an aviation indus-

try expo in 2016 and beyond,” says

Bennet, head of Australia’s leading air

show display company.

Wings Over Illawarra 2015 promises

to be a great weekend for the entire

family with a wide range of activities

and displays.

The flying day will be similar on both

days, except for some Defence Force

aircraft whose operational require-

ments mean they are only available

on one of the days. Check the website

for the full program, but to whet your

appetite, the display will include:

• RAAF F/A-18 Hornet

• C-130 Hercules

• RAAF Roulettes

• RAN AS350 Squirrel Pairs Display

• HARS DHC-4 Caribou

• Jeff Trappet's CAC CA-18 Mustang

• Supermarine Spitfire MkVIII

• Paul Bennet's Grumman TBF Avenger

• Lockheed 414 Hudson

• Paul Bennet Wolf Pitts Pro Aerobatic

Display; Sky Aces Formation Aerobatics

Wings Over the Illawarra takes to the skies over two days

The bit that everyone seems to leave

out about the Terracotta Warriors is

that, except for one archer, the other

8,000 warriors were broken into tiny

bits. The roof collapsed after their

burial in 200BC and since their

discovery in the 1970s a team of

archaeologists have been painstak-

ingly piecing together the world’s

most complicated jigsaw puzzle.

And there are so many of them!

It’s bigger than an aircraft hangar!

The closest town to the warriors

is Xi’an. If you’re hungry (and love

lamb, eggplant and pomegranate),

then head down to the Muslim

Quarter. Or if you’re feeling adven-

turous you can hire a bike and do

laps of the ancient city walls – so

beautiful!
