The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle Anyone you want to say thanks to? Each year, Kiama seeks to recognise
the contributions made to the richness
of our community by individuals and
groups.
The Australia Day Awards are part-
icularly for individuals, while the
Kiama Council Achievement Awards
are open to both individuals and
groups.
As Mayor Brian Petschler says,
“It is important that we recognise the

make to our community and I urge
you all to take the time to nominate
them for an award.”
So consider the unsung heroes you know, and nominate them for an award this year. Nomi-
nees must be residents of the Kiama Municipality. Win-
ners will be chosen by a panel of local judges, with the
Awards being presented at a special function on Thursday

is a movie that would
never be seen at the
major cinemas, even
though it won Best Film
and the Critics’ Prize
at the 2013 Venice Inter-
national Film Festival
and other accolades.
Still Life is a tender
film about someone who
cares for the lonely when they die. The perform-
ance of English actor Eddie Marsan has been highly
praised. He plays John May, a council worker who
has – for 22 years – been looking after the affairs of
those who have died alone: people with no friends
or family to decide what to do with possessions,
body or memories.
The November film is Charlie’s Country is on Fri
14 November.

Free entry to National Parks to mark 40th anniversary
All NSW national parks are
open for free on 15 and 16
November to mark the 40th
anniversary the National
Parks and Wildlife Act and
the holding of the IUCN
World Parks Congress in
Sydney. The International
Union for Conservation of
Nature is the world’s oldest
and largest global environ-
mental organisation and
the week long Congress
has attracted 4000 delegates
from around the world - some of whom visited National
Parks in our area prior to the Congress.
Since 1967, when the National Parks and Wildlife
Service was first established, NSW has grown its parks
system from one per cent to nine per cent of the total state,
or more than 7 million hectares. More parks have been
announced in the lead up to the Congress.
Take advantage of the celebration to reacquaint yourself
with at least one of the beautiful national parks within an
hour’s drive of here.
While some, like Macquarie Pass National Park, have
no entrance fee others usually charge a per vehicle amount
to assist with upkeep:
Budderoo National Park
This 7,120ha park 5km west of Jamberoo is the home of Minnamurra Falls. Entry via Minnamurra Rainforest Centre is usually $11. Morton National Park
Stretching behind Nowra and up to Fitzroy Falls. Usually $7 entry at Bundanoon and $3 at Fitzroy Falls. Royal National Park
The Royal is the second oldest in the world, beaten only by Yellowstone in the US. Instead of driving through or by it, use the weekend to stop and enjoy one of its many walks or beaches. Usually $11 a car. Bungonia National Park and Conservation Area
Next to Morton, with great camping, rock climbing and
hiking. Usually $7 entry (more to camp).

Young people learn the ropes on a live event

Year’s eves falling on

local produce will be avail-
able for Christmas and
the holiday period, without

Many dream of travelling around Australia,
but only the hardy decide to do it on a bike.
Even less with a young family in tow.
And probably only one family with the aim
of foraging for their food along the way,
and making the whole effort a performance
art piece.
A free talk has been organised, to give
you a chance to meet this extraordinary
family and hear of their adventures so far
as they pass through Kiama. They are on
their way home to Daylesford in Victoria,
where they teach foraging and other
accountable living skills.
The family has cycled 7,300kms (and
regrettably travelled another 2,800kms by
car to keep to their time commitments).

Tues 18th Nov 6pm. Free entry
Living the dream
Mayor Brian Petschler believes that protests
being made about the possible sell-off of
parcels of land in Gerringong are premature.
“We are auditing the land we have through-
out the Municipality to assess what is sur-
plus to requirements,” he says, “But that
process has a long way to go and there are
a lot of options to consider.”
If any parcels of land are recommended
for sale, a formal process of consultation
will have to be carried out because of the
community land status afforded to reserves.
However these reassurances aren’t enough
for Alma MacPherson, one of the people
organising petitions to help keep two of the
areas she believes are being earmarked for
development: the reserve beside the Uniting
Church on Fern St and the reserve behind
the Gerringong Rural Fire Service Building
(adjoining Jubilee Park).
“The short term monetary gain to the
Council by selling off these two parcels of
land can in no way compensate for the loss
of these green spaces, which are currently
enjoyed and used by the community and its
visitors,” she says.
She fears the process is well underway,
and that the community has to act now to
derail the proposed development. She is
keen to talk at a Public Access meeting
once the development is listed in the papers
for the following day’s Council Meeting.
Mayor Petschler warns that if the Council
doesn’t proceed with selling land that it
holds that is surplus to requirements then
its financial position will suffer.
“We don’t have the income from long
term land development that we’ve had in
the past,” he says.
“We have a substantial amount of land
that just isn’t being used and is costing us
money to keep. It makes sense to look into
what should be sold.”
Two local farms, The Pines on Saddleback and Schottlanders Wagyu at Rose
Valley, recently had a visit from one of China’s most popular TV personalities,
Steven Liu.
A highly respected chef, he shot to fame as one of the three judges on
Master Chef (China). He now hosts a show on the Travel Channel called Master
is Coming, focusing on food trails when travelling in different countries.
The visit is part of a national tourism campaign to ‘Bring the World to Dinner’,
which has seen a number of influential TV presenters, magazine writers and
bloggers travel to Australia to help spread the word about the quality of the
food experience here.
Jacqueline Weiley of Foodscape Tours worked with Destination NSW to show
the visitor the best our region has to offer. They visited our local farms to
see the provenance of the produce used by David Campbell at his Wharf Rd
Restaurant in Nowra.

Tell the state planners what you think The Kiama community is being urged to take the opportunity to comment on the
Draft Illawarra Regional Growth and Infrastructure Plan.
“Residents need to understand that these planning proposals affect their ‘backyard’,”
said Mayor Brian Petschler. “The proposed increase to the number of dwellings, the
height of buildings and our southern boundary at Gerringong, are issues which will have
an impact on our community. Council believes that the southern boundary of Gerringong
has been agreed in the current Local Environmental Plan and is surprised to see it raised
again. It is imperative that Kiama residents know about these proposed changes and
voice their opinion while they have the chance.”
The Department of Planning and Environment is holding a community forum in Kiama
as a chance for people to ‘Have Their Say’ or you can complete a survey online.
The Gerroa Environmental Protection Society (GEPS) is also holding two public meet-
ings to outline their grave concerns about the Draft.

Sue and John Moore have
been running a Kiama-
based charity called Help-
ing Cambodian Children
Abroad for six years. They
were inspired to help after
a visit to Siem Reap and
a subsequent short period
as volunteer teachers.
In the last six years they
have raised much needed
funds for the children in the
poverty area around Siem
Reap through pie drives,
garage sales and markets
stalls.
All of the funds raised
goes straight to the project,
where they have supported
a soup kitchen, and pro-
vided bikes, lights and
educational material.
Just recently, they have
built a school house in Siem
Reap with three classrooms
for the 100 students. It will
be formally opened in Feb-
ruary.
The next fundraising
event is a market with hand-
made Christmas gifts, soap
and candles, face painting,
collectables, jewellery,
clothes, iridology and more.
Donations of quality
mechandise for the event
are welcome.

Foxground is home to a plethora of wildlife, often
unseen and hiding in the forest. When descending
from the mountain one day, I came across this cute
little echidna meandering across the road.
He looked truly befuddled, as if suddenly thrust
into the big wide world to fend for himself. Lacking
any fear of humans, he was happily guided off the
road. I've not seen him again since, but it's a timely
reminder to slow down and watch out for our native
spring babies.

her husband Joost. “When we saw
this site become available we knew it
was perfect for us.”
Flour Water Salt is an an off-shoot
of Berry Sourdough Bakery, and will
source its bread from the bakery
there. Other items and meals will be

30th Illawarra Folk Festival to be a Pearler The Illawarra Folk Festival
will be celebrating its Pearl
Anniversary in 2015, and

where the weekend will kick
off in style with a fantastic-
ally flamboyant concert, and
run into the wee hours with gypsy dance bands and a sea shanty session for the stayers.
Artists have already been confirmed from Canada, the United States, the UK,
Denmark, Switzerland and India, as well as an impressive line-up of Australian artists,
including Stephan Pigram, Eric Bogle and Ted Egan.

If you’ve been wonder-

- the Council is install-
ing a network of fibre
optic cables to connect
all of their CBD build-
ings, including the

and, of course, the
Administration Centre.
Research established
it would be much more
effective to lay a pri-
vate network then rent
from another party.
Tenders have been
called for the installa-
tion of CCTV in the CBD
area, and that service
(and the proposed wifi)
will also use the new
network.

Help Council get its messages across There is so much information competing for your atten-
tion nowadays, it is difficult for organisations to get their
important messages across effectively.
Kiama Council is examining the way it currently com-
municates with residents in an effort to improve its effect-
iveness in the future.
“The process is to create improved channels of engage-
ment, so the community can receive the information from
Council in the form they want or need it,” says Andrew
de Montemas, head of Council’s Communications Unit.
“It also gives the community and visitors the opportunity,
through various means, to engage with us.”
One way it is doing this is through an on-line Engage
Kiama Survey. It is seeking to know how you learn about
Council news and events (feel free to mention The Bugle),
how you would prefer to hear about them and what topics
you are most interested in.

What next for Manning St? Railcorp has finally sold its land on the south-west corner
of Bong Bong and Manning Streets, after a tender for its
sale closed in May.
The 5,488 square metre block of land is suitable for
mixed-use/residential development.
Andrew Hunter, of selling agent Chestertons, says that
the details of the sale, including price and purchaser, are
still confidential.
He is not aware of what is planned for the site, but ex-
pects that a DA will be lodged shortly.
The property has long been a prominent eyesore, and
there will be great interest in what is proposed for the site.

Opposition to new sushi bar The Bugle has been
contacted by a number of
people about the head office
decision by Woolworths
to install a sushi bar in its
Kiama store. They are con-
cerned for the Akira Sushi
bar operating in the Centre
and point out there is al-
ready another Japanese
restaurant in town.
In response to a complaint
on Facebook, Woolworths
said, “Ultimately customers
will make decision about
where they shop and we
know that people tend to
shop around at a wide vari-
ety of food outlets. In fact
there are many small busi-
nesses - bakers, fruiterers
butchers etc who survive
and thrive outside the front
door of our supermarkets,
despite in many instances
selling the same or similar
product to Woolworths.”

Cloud storage: how Dropbox can help
Thanks to Jim Carney, aka Fatalbert In Home Computer
Tutor, for this column. We welcome contributions from
other experts.
14 million people in Aus-
tralia aged 18 years and
older actively used cloud
computer services in the
past six months. That’s
about 80 per cent of the
adult population. However
while cloud computing is
something most people do,
often they have little com-
prehension of what they are
actually doing.
So, what is cloud comput-
ing? PC Mag put it well
when it called it “a meta-
phor for the internet”. In
simple terms, using cloud
computing means storing
your files on a place that is
not your local hard drive.
The most common cloud-
based system that people
use is webmail, ie. Gmail.
If you have an iPad or
iPhone, then the photos
you take could be stored
on Apple’s cloud, called
(unsurprisingly) the iCloud.
If you have Windows
system then you might have
your files stored on Micro-
soft OneDrive.
If you use a Kindle, then
the book you are reading is
stored in the cloud. You’ve
put holiday photos on
Flickr? That’s the cloud.
Has someone, wanting to
send you a large file, email-
ed you a Dropbox link?
That’s the ‘cloud’ we will
look at more closely now.
To get a Dropbox account
go to www.dropbox.com
and register. Then down-
load a desktop Dropbox
application to your tablet
and PC.
Dropbox runs on Wind-
ows, Mac or Linux operat-
ing systems and gives you
access to your Dropbox
directly through a folder
on your hard drive.
Using Dropbox on your
computer is just like using
any other folder on your
hard drive, except the files
you drag into your Dropbox
folder automatically sync
online and to any other
computers or mobile
devices linked to your
account.
The application runs in
the background and auto-
matically keeps your files
in sync and backed up
online. It's like having the
same folder on all of your
computers and mobile
devices at the same time.
The desktop application is
really convenient because
you never need to manually
upload or download
changes to your files into
your Dropbox folder.
The application automati-
cally watches your Drop-
box folder and keeps your
files in sync for you. Any
time you save a change to
a file while connected to
the internet, that change
will sync everywhere you
have Dropbox installed. It
can be set up so that it auto-
matically uploads your new
digital pictures to the cloud.
The desktop application
even works when you go
offline. The next time
you're online, it will sync
changes made after it left
off.
The great advantage of
using Dropbox is the ability
to share files with other
people particularly those
files that are too big to
email.
When you create a shared
folder and add other people
to it, its files will appear in
their Dropbox just as they
do in yours. Any member
of the folder can add,
delete, or edit files within
that folder if they are given
that level of access.
You can also just share
links to individual files, like
photos.
Peter Izzard, of Peter Izzard Photography, has just
returned from a trip to Iceland. Here’s his postcard:
Well, it's been an incredible adventure here in
this land of ice & elves… Epic waterfalls, gigantic
mountains, volcanoes, lava flows, glaciers, thermal
springs, magical horses and, of course, the Aurora
Borealis, or Northern Lights.
I was fortunate to witness this elusive phenomenon
on four of my seven nights here. This image - one of
many I'll be editing in the coming months, is of the
Aurora reflected over Jökulsárlón glacial river
lagoon. Making the moment even more unique, the
glow in the centre is from the erupting Bárdarbunga
volcano...
There's so much to experience and photograph
here - like nirvana for a photographer! Next time
I'd like to spend a bit longer and head north, where
I hear its quite something...
Thanks Iceland, it was worth the trip, and the jet-
lag. I'll be back. Pete
