Byron Shire Council Notices

Th ere’s no denying the yabber yabber emanating from all forms of media aft er Byron’s new year’s celebrations.

While largely unhampered by vio-lent behaviour, the night saw a marked increase in visitor numbers and resi-dents were clearly unhappy with the subsequent rubbish left behind and the pressures it placed on the town’s already stretched amenities.

Council staff said it was a ‘signifi -cant increase in tourist numbers,’ with around 15.5 tonnes of rubbish being removed from beaches and streets.

And without a doubt, many busi-nesses benefi ted in the town, in par-ticular liquor outlets, accommodation and supermarkets.

As the dust settles and the humbug ebbs away, the questions as to how to manage the town’s irresistible mag-netism is needed now more than ever.

One of the key issues to emerge is the problem of illegal street camping.

Fine is cheaper than fi nding accommodation

Byron Shire acting general manager Phil Warner said in a press release that the clean-up was ‘challenging’, with rangers working 21 hours each day from December 26 through until January 1. He says they issued almost 650 fi nes with over half of them relat-ing to street camping.

He said feedback from the rangers included that people had admitted that they saw the ‘no camping’ signs but still chose to camp in the areas.

‘Th e no-camping street signage is only a deterrent,’ Mr Warner said.

‘With a penalty fi ne of $110 it was considered by some to be cheaper than fi nding accommodation.

‘Rangers also woke up occupants of an additional 100 cars on new year’s day; however, the occupants were too intoxicated and could not be moved on.’

The issue, while exacerbated for NYE, appears to refl ect the larger pic-ture of tourism in a small town.

Mayor Simon Richardson told Echo-netdaily’s Sharon Shostak, ‘We have a situation where, in a town of around 10,000 people, it gets visited by 1.5 mil-lion every year, predominantly coming down one road. Th e real question is how do we manage these people and how can the residents get a real benefi t?

‘We’ve traditionally chosen not to have highrises. When you have huge highrises you have an increase in rate-

able property, therefore you can use that money to off set infrastructure. So by deciding to be lowrise, we’re also low income.’

As for addressing the issue, Cr Rich-ardson said that while the state gov-ernment – through Destination NSW – spends ‘huge amounts of money marketing areas for visitors’, he would ‘like to see the state government match every marketing dollar with an infra-structure off set dollar.’

And he’s also calling for a Byron Bay progress association, which has been

met with cautious optimism by the town’s chamber of commerce, Byron United (BU).

Cr Richardson told The Echo that if such a group were established, as it is in many other town centres, ‘it could in-clude a wide range of community views and establish a vision for the Shire.’

BU president Paul Waters, however, told The Echo that he would prefer to see any committee specifi cally ad-dress tourism management, ‘Such as through the VIA Byron [a new tour-ism committee for the region].

‘It would hopefully incorporate senior police, councillors, council staff and council rangers. Th e focus needs to be on what is actually achiev-able,’ he said. ‘Open forums can easily fall into talk fests.’

Mr Waters is also the lone voice in calling public outcries of tourist hordes as ‘exaggerated and too precious.’

‘Th ere is no evidence of the place being trashed,’ he said, referring to the rubbish being collected by Council and some residents the following day.

‘It’s a fair call to some extent, but the town hasn’t lost its innocence.’

And he unsurprisingly rejects the mayor’s suggetion that NYE could in future be wrapped by 9.30pm.

‘…I think finishing up at 9.30pm should be considered,’ Cr Richardson blogged on Council’s website. ‘Word will quickly get out that the Byron NYE theme park is no longer open for business and the extra visitors unable to be absorbed this year will diminish.

‘We need to ensure Council’s com-mitment to NYE is for a low-key, family-friendly, resident-focused cel-ebration. Th e residents of Sunrise, Be-longil, Suff olk and Byron deserve it, the responsible visitors deserve it and our town deserves it.’

Police reportWith around 15,000 attendees, By-

ron Bay’s new year’s eve festivities saw 14 people arrested for mainly alcohol-induced public-order off ences.

Police said there were ‘a number’ of assaults overnight and into the early morning. One man was arrested over an attack with a glass bottle and an-other over an attempted theft but no major injuries were reported.

Youth worker Deb Pearse says she is disgusted, disappointed and disillusioned by drunken behaviour in Byron Bay. Deb has been a part of the Byron Youth Service Street Cruise program for 12 years, which provides youth outreach on both Friday and Saturday nights. She says the need for the bus is growing steadily each year, but lack of funding means Street Cruise is down to just Fridays. And the problems are growing, she says. ‘This year it’s much more spread out. Last year the mayhem was contained pretty much in town. This year just about every street you go in there is rubbish, broken glass right up into the residential area.’ Deb understands that Byron is a tourist town but says we are driving away the tourists we need. ‘Families and people that respect the place don’t want to come here. They are horrifi ed.’ As she works weekends, she can speak for what she sees. ‘What I see is the most gross consumption of alcohol. From my observation the really problematic group are mainly guys from late teens through their twenties. They are the ones that I am constantly asking to pick up their rubbish, to stop throwing bottles, to stop urinating in the street in front of me. This is what I have seen with my own eyes.’ Photo Eve Jeff ery

told The Echo it was a busy night, and while police didn’t have too much trouble, ‘there’s still of course issues with alco-hol-related crime’.

‘Again our problem [was] al-cohol. Again you [saw] people walk down the street, they’re either intoxicated or they’re carrying alcohol – and it’s a real issue for the police.’

Bed tax mooted In the wake of the NYE party

that ratepayers inevitably have to pay for, local government minister and Ballina MP Don Page has revived the accom-modation-tax proposal, oft en referred to as a bed tax.

It seeks to pass on a levy tak-en from the accommodation industry to fund and maintain infrastructure.

Mr Page told ABC North Coast Radio Thursday there was an opportunity for Byron to charge a bed tax but under current legislation it had to be

demonstrated the tax would directly benefit the tourism providers who levied the tax.

Later in the week he told Fairfax Media that despite a bed tax levy going ‘against his government’s policy,’ the Lo-cal Government Act – which is currently under his review – ‘should be amended to allow local authorities such as Byron Shire to tax businesses specifi -cally to improve roads, parking, public toilets, parks, boardwalks and rubbish collection services.’

But Mayor Richardson played down the eff ectiveness of a bed tax, claiming that as most visitors only come for the day, it would not be of much financial benefit. Mr Waters from BU also agreed but said if implemented, ‘it could form a part of a suite of ways of collect-ing money for infrastructure.’

Visitor type changeMr Waters also said that in

recent years the demographic of the visitor type had changed.

‘Th e quality clients that were on the streets some years ago aren’t here now. It’s been re-placed with a diff erent culture.’

He said that his restaurant, Th e Balcony, now closes ear-lier despite a licence to trade until 2am. ‘Th e kind of people out there aft er midnight aren’t conducive to what we provide.’

NGO gets on with itWhile solutions are still be-

ing thrashed about, one local NGO (non-government or-ganisation) is actively collect-ing the rubbish.

Karl Goodsell, founder and director of Positive Change For Marine Life, told Echonetdaily’s Sharon Shostak that his team of volunteers started a cam-paign in May 2012 to look at the long-term trends of marine debris.

‘We’re using two beaches as report sites – Main Beach and Seven Mile Beach,’ he said. ‘It’s a marine park and we have a high diversity of species here

of which many are endangered and threatened…

‘A lot of this rubbish ends up in the ocean and as result ends in the belly of a turtle or a whale or a seabird…’

He points to a bag full of wrist bands from local night-clubs and backpackers. Dur-ing Schoolies he says he found around 150 of a specifi c brand in one cleanup.

‘As part of this campaign we hope to approach Council and these businesses, show them what we found on the beach and hopefully eradicate all these wristbands. Th ere’s no point [to use wristbands] – stamps have exactly the same eff ect.’

He says he would like to see a shift away from plastic bags with education programs so people are aware of the impacts that people have on the marine environment.

‘We need to inspire people to become stewards of the ocean and that every single thing they do has an impact.’

Staff reporters

A public meeting has been called for this Th ursday from 6pm at the Bangalow RSL Hall to discuss a controversial four-storey building for the town’s heritage-building area in Sta-tion Street.

The Bangalow chamber of commerce has distanced itself from the development by Syd-ney developers Gordon High-lands Pty Ltd.

Former Byron Shire coun-cillor Jenny Coman claims the building for eight fl ats, three shops and 18 underground car parks is totally out of character with the Bangalow village, and ‘is in complete confl ict with the guidelines drawn up for the de-velopment of Bangalow in its settlement strategy.’

She also says it would ‘pos-sibly set a precedent for further such proposals’, and the pro-posed access to the develop-ment is the lane used by school children to get to school and

elsewhere. Additionally she claims there is not enough car parking provided.

‘They are seven short and have no suggestions as to what to do about it.’

But the town planner behind the project, Bangalow-based Paul Defi na, has defended the development, point by point.

‘The proposed building is below the Council’s height limit,’ he told The Echo.

He says from the Bangalow Settlement Strategy 2003, ‘Items

11, 13, 14 and 19 have been not-ed by the building designers and myself and incorporated into the proposal.’

‘As to setting a precedent, there is no such thing. Each application is assessed and de-termined on its merits.’

As for rear lane access, Mr Defi na played down the impact it would have on the neighbour-ing school and residents, saying the development, ‘will appeal to single people, in particular, the elderly. Th ose people may wish

to live “in-town” so they do not need to use a car.’ He also claims the building is not four storeys high, as stated by the objectors, but two storeys as seen from the street front.

‘As to the shortfall of car parking, the applicant off ered to pay Council’s Section 94 Car Parking contributions for the retail component of the pro-posal to add to their already existing off -street parking fund that the Council has been col-lecting from other developers over the past 20 years to pro-vide a purpose-built commu-nity car park in Bangalow.

‘The 18 onsite car parking spaces are for the future resi-dents and shop owners. The provision of a Council-owned car park is eagerly awaited by the [Bangalow] Chamber of Commerce and can only be provided by developer cash contributions.’

Th e closing date for submis-sions on the development has been extended until January 31.

Talent call for Shakespeare’s Twelft h Night production

All’s well at being ShamanicTh e Climate Institute has wel-comed the final report from the Climate Change Author-ity’s Renewable Energy Target (RET) review and urged bipar-tisan support for the scheme to remain unchanged.

‘Australia now generates enough renewable energy to power more than three mil-lion households,’ said Erwin Jackson, deputy CEO of Th e Climate Institute.

‘Th e Renewable Energy Tar-get is helping clean up our elec-tricity sector and sets Australia on the road to a zero emission

power sector in the coming decades.

‘It has underpinned some $18 billion in investment in clean energy in Australia since 2001, and can encourage a further $18 billion in the years to 2020.’

Th e Climate Change Author-ity (CCA) has recommended that reviews of the scheme be reduced in frequency from two-year intervals to four years to help provide stability for in-vestors. Mr Jackson added, ‘We urge both parties to maintain the large-scale renewable target in its current form.’

Police have released the names of two locals killed in a shock-ing head-on accident at Banga-low on New Year’s Eve.

They were 23-year-old Lee White, who worked at Eastside Butchery in Ballina, and Louise Morgan, who worked at South-ern Cross University. Lee was a member of the Nomads Mo-

torcycle Club but was driving a Ford Falcon at the time, which collided with Ms Morgan’s Mazda near the Possum Creek turnoff on the Pacifi c Highway.

Alcohol not a factorAlcohol has not been named

as a factor in the accident ac-croding to police. More than

60 drivers were caught over the limit across the state on new year’s day, including a woman at Banora Point who police allege was fi ve times over the legal limit.

Luis Feliu

Fisheries authorities and local fi shermen are at loggerheads over what killed thousands of estuarine fi sh in Tallow Creek, Byron Bay recently.

Just aft er Christmas, locals noticed the fish kill at the mouth of the creek and further upstream involving estuarine species such as fl athead, mul-let, whiting as well as eels and crustaceans.

A lack of oxygen in the water has been blamed for the kill, but

just how the sudden de-oxygen-ation of the water in the creek (known as an intermittently closing and opening coastal la-goon) happened is in dispute.

Byron Bay Deep Sea Fishing Club secretary Dan Bode told The Echo that the level of deoxy-genated water in the creek had become way too high due to the creek opening being ‘blocked’.

Mr Bode said natural pro-cesses had allowed the mouth of the creek to be ‘fused’, block-ing it up and allowing backed up water to deoxygenate, caus-

ing the fi sh kill.But Department of Primary

Industries (DPI) director of fisheries compliance, Glenn Tritton, said a number of Saw-tell residents used shovels to dredge a channel from the mouth of Bonville Creek to the ocean last year, which had been closed beforehand.

‘Many people wrongly be-lieve that opening creeks and lagoons can improve water quality or enhance fi sh recruit-ment; however, this is not the case,’ Mr Tritton said.

‘Similar openings of lakes, lagoons and creeks in the past have resulted in severe envi-ronmental damage.

‘Opening closed creeks and lagoons to the ocean in the wrong way can lead to low dis-solved oxygen levels, increased exposure, death of aquatic veg-etation and large fi sh kills.’

On Saturday January 12 the YAC Amphitheatre is set to come alive with with the sounds of 20 young hardcore and metal bands in the fi rst festival of its kind, the Which Way Festival.

It will feature many of the bands who have played at the YACROCKCAFE at the Byron Youth Activities Centre on Fri-day nights throughout 2012.

The bands have all given their time free, to give young people in Byron something to do on Friday nights.

Many of the more than 70 bands who played throughout 2012 have been local Byron Shire bands, but it has gained quite a reputation with young bands from Brisbane and the Gold Coast too.

Th e Which Way Festival is the brainchild of James Heath, member of local young hard-

core band Like Cannons. James says he wanted to do a

fundraiser to help to purchase more equipment for the bands to use on Friday nights.

Th e Which Way Festival will

kick of at 10am and go through till 10pm. Bands featured on the line-up include headliners Shorelines, Intention, Double Lined Minority, Hand of the Architect and Like Cannons.

A large number of people will be much worse off following changes to Centrelink ben-efi ts which came into eff ect on January 1.

The Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) and National Welfare Rights Net-work say changes to the Par-enting Payment, Youth Al-lowance, Austudy and other benefi ts will have the greatest impact on people trying to sur-vive on low incomes.

‘The changes impact upon more than 80,000 people,’ said ACOSS CEO Dr Cassandra Goldie. ‘Th is includes 60,000 single-parent families receiv-ing Parenting Payment. Single parents will see a cut of be-tween $60 and $110 per week. Th is will have a devastating im-pact on single-parent families and their children.’

A pro-CSG movie – Frack-Nation – is set to be released in the US on January 22 aft er reaching its goal of $150,000 on crowd sourcing website www.kickstarter.com.

US filmmakers Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney claim Josh Fox’s Gasland skews the truth behind the controver-sial industry. Specifi cally, they make the point that aquifers are known to contain methane naturally.

‘It turns out people have been lighting their water for centu-ries in America,’ Mr McAleer says on the movie’s trailer. He goes on to challenge Mr Fox at a Q&A Gasland screening about known methane levels in water tables and a specifi c household incident. He asks why a 1976 re-port said there was ‘troublesome amounts of methane’ contained in the near aquifi er yet wasn’t part of his documentary.

Th e ‘gotcha moment’ is refut-

ed by Mr Fox with, ‘Th e point is, the citizens reported that they could not light the fi re [in the water] before the drilling.’

Th e YouTube clip is entitled Gasland director hides full facts.

Th e US fi lmmakers wanted to give voice to ‘those who were denied the right to de-velop resources on their land,’ and say the debate is not fair and balanced, particularly by the media. For more visit www.fracknation.com.

Protecting non-renewable investments for corporations instead of the environment is clearly the agenda for the state government as riot po-lice were brought in to protect coal-seam gas rigs against pro-testers in the picturesque area known Glenugie, south- east of Graft on.

It came to a head Monday – Mullumbimby woman Laili Summers kept The Echo up-dated throughout the morning, saying some of the estimated 50 police had become physi-cal with some 200 people aft er they moved too slowly from blocking Metgasco trucks.

One protester reportedly sus-pended himself from a tripod at the entrance to the site and two attached themselves to devices

in the ground barring access to the site; one was on a tree plat-form and the other hung from a suspended aerial wire.

While mainstream media, the government and mining com-panies attempt to discredit pro-testers as ‘rent-a-crowd jobless

Greenies,’ Laili says it is clearly not the case with Glenugie.

‘There’s a broad cross-sec-tion of the community, young and old,’ Laili says, who is gain-fully employed. ‘Th e govern-ment may have given Metgasco a licence to drill but they cer-

tainly don’t have the approval from the local community.

‘Even some of the police here told us they are anti-CSG!’

Th is and the other two pro-jects are a break-or-make case for Metgasco in the region; they have suff ered from a sharp drop in their share price, and their public image has been damaged by attempts to set up an industry in areas which are clearly inappropriate.

Support from the government is no doubt a welcome relief to the beleaguered corporation. It appears impossible to conduct a mining business without their help, be that from police force or the generous subsidies and incentives. As of going to press 12 arrests have been made while other protesters keep a watch on drilling truck movements at Metgasco’s offi ce in Casino.

Almost one million Australians are currently suffering from an eating disorder, according to Paying the Price: economic and social impact of eating disor-ders, a report from the Butterfl y Foundation. Th e report also es-timates that the mortality rate is almost twice as high for people with eating disorders than in the general population.

I’m most of the way through a book called The Hinge Factor: How Chance and Stupidity Have Changed History by Erik Durschmied. Among many things it details the history of incompetence by military leaders, resulting in the pointless deaths of millions of foot soldiers. A war correspondent for thirty years, Durschmied pretty much sees war itself as a saga of stupidity from beginning to end.

However, we don’t need to look just at the failure of negotiation – or the triumph of psychopathic ambition – in large-scale confl icts to appreciate the role of stupidity in human ‘evolution’, or within ourselves. As Gestalt therapist Frederick S Perls noted in his book Ego, Hunger, and Aggression: a Revision of Freud’s Theory and Method, ‘a great astronomer said: “Two things are infi nite, as far as we know – the universe and human stupidity”’, a quote since often attributed to Albert Einstein.

The prevailing infi nitude of stupidity is particularly noticeable around summertime when the party mood drives revellers, particularly young men, to the shallow end of the gene pool, where they behave like drunken buff oons and incite our correspondents to rage about hoon driving. Also at this time, unfortunately, people get themselves into trouble in the surf, fervently learning nothing about dangerous beach conditions and in some cases resolutely ignoring lifesavers’ instructions.

Apart from natural disasters, and noticeably the mosquito and the hippopotamus, to stupidity we may attribute most of the human deaths throughout history, and the continued failure of the human race to come to grips with the big issues of the day. All of us are complicit in this failure but it would be stupid to beat ourselves up about it. What to do? As usual, education is the key but not a panacea. It will prevent some adolescents from killing themselves and others in fast cars and teach some men that their family members, women in particular, are not their property.

In terms of research, further funding must be given to fi nd ways to target the amygdala dysfunction in psychopaths, so they don’t feel inclined to lead us on to really big acts of stupidity.

Michael McDonald

Living with stupidity

When the Queensland attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie released

a discussion paper on electoral reform canvassing, among other things, the option of a return to voluntary voting, our federal treasurer Wayne Swan went mildly apoplectic.

‘It’s taking us back to the Bjelke-Petersen years,’ splut-tered Swan, himself a veteran of the campaigns against his state’s hillbilly dictator.

Well, up to a point, Mr Treasurer. In fact Joh Bjelke-Petersen was just four years old in 1915, when Queensland became the first state to in-troduce compulsory voting. Th e Commonwealth followed in 1924, when the National-ist government led by Stanley Bruce noted that the turnout for the 1922 election had been less than 60 per cent. Bruce re-alised that such a result could scarcely be said to constitute a mandate and agreed to a pri-vate members bill making vot-ing compulsory.

The result was immedi-ate and dramatic: in the 1925 election the turnout was over 90 per cent and compulsory voting has been enshrined as a pillar of the Australian system ever since. Polling shows that it is accepted and even embraced by the vast majority of voters, but there are always dissenters.

Conservatives with long memories recall that with the introduction of the compul-sory system the Labor vote jumped by about four per cent. Th us a return to the old volun-tary method could only be to their advantage.

Of course, they do not put it that way: it is always wrapped up in sententious nonsense about how, in a mature democ-racy, there should be a right not to vote if you don’t want to. What, like the right not to pay taxes? Well, actually quite

a few conservatives take that view as well; just look at the Tea Party in the United States. But most rational people would agree that a genuinely mature democracy imposes duties and obligations as well as rights, and that compulsory voting is among them.

If people have to vote, at least they have to take an oc-casional interest in choosing a government, and therefore

in public policy and the hard-won democratic principles that sustain it. If not, they risk surrendering it to the fanati-cal and the unscrupulous. Th is does not quite mean, as Julia Gillard has warned, that volun-tary voting would deliver us to cashed-up interest groups but it does mean that they would gain even more advantage than they already have.

To the surprise of many the case was put most eloquent-ly by the Nationals’ Barnaby Joyce, frequently dismissed as an eccentric by both colleagues and opponents, but in this case lauded by every serious poli-tician from John Faulkner to Malcolm Turnbull. It is worth quoting him at some length, so here goes:

‘Well, I have to look through the eyes of my own job as a senator. I think compulsory voting in Australia is impor-tant. I mean let’s have a real-ity pill here. If voting wasn’t compulsory a lot of people just wouldn’t bother voting. At times, they can only get half

the people in America to vote. Now in Australia I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up with you know 30 or 40 per cent of the people turning up to vote and I don’t know whether that would be a good outcome.

‘Th e next thing is you’d have a rise of the capacity of parties on the far right, all of a sudden you know, you’d have a White Australia policy and things like that coming back into the fore

and on the far left we’ll have a carbon tax on breathing and we’ll have people saying that you, know, that basically all de-velopment is evil.

‘Both these sides would pro-liferate because people who are motivated in that way are mo-tivated enough to turn up but the vast majority in the middle would be worried about getting the kids to their cricket or do-ing the shopping or have other things to do around the yard and they probably wouldn’t turn up to vote…

‘What I like about the Aus-tralian democracy is that when you vote you have to make sure you don’t startle the troops. If you startle the troops you will not get voted in.

‘In America you have startle them quite a bit to get them out to vote. You have to change your message around completely. It has to be a message that works more to the fringes because you’re more motivated about getting people out of bed to vote rather than knowing that they have to vote because it is com-

pulsory so don’t say anything too perverse.

‘Now I don’t particularly want to change away from that sys-tem but I’d have to acknowledge that if we do change away from that system it is more likely the conservative side that will be the benefi ciary of it as well as the Greens.’

I couldn’t have put it better myself. And I can attest from personal experience working in the 1963 English general elec-tion that while the Tories took taxis to the polling booths on a wet Saturday, Labor had to rely on party workers providing lift s to get the vote out. Th at four per cent margin may have been di-minished, but there is no doubt-ing where the advantage lies.

But that, of course, is why some of the heavies in the Lib-eral Party, led by Eric Abetz and the still-influential Nick Minchin, are champing at the bit. It is most unlikely to hap-pen, at least in the federal sphere; the backlash would be too great. But it is worth noting that all it would take is in an act of parliament; unlike actual constitutional change (abolition of the states, for instance) a ref-erendum would not be neces-sary.

And in Queensland, there is absolutely nothing to stop Campbell Newman going it alone. His state has already abolished that other tiresome impediment to totalitarian rule, the upper house. So may-be Swan is on the right track. One hillbilly dictator may be safely in his grave, but his ava-tar is back with us. Queens-landers should reach for the garlic, the silver bullets, the wooden stake.

But above all, just keep vot-ing. While you still can.

Bangalow DA confl ictThe proposal for a massive commercial/residential de-velopment in Station Street, Bangalow, is in complete conflict with the guidelines drawn up for the development of Bangalow in its Settlement Strategy, which was the work of a committee composed very largely of Bangalow residents

and of which I was a member.We envisaged Bangalow re-

taining its village and heritage character with new buildings respecting heritage guidelines both in size and design and now we have a proposal which is totally non-compliant in size, bulk and height despite the de-veloper’s consultant trying to tell us that these aspects are

justifi able because of the close proximity of the A&I and Ma-sonic halls, a misleading and invalid comparison.

Th ere are many reasons to object to this DA, not least be-cause it will set a precedent for further such proposals and so could lead to the end of Ban-galow as we know (and love) it – and some of us also know

this is not just idle speculation. And as the proposed access to the development is the lane used by school children to get to school and elsewhere, one must wonder how much re-search went into this project.

On January 1, 1993, Byron Bay was on the front pages of international newspapers for ‘riots’ on NYE. Th e safe man-agement of NYE was then undertaken by a community safety committee and for many years I worked alongside Annie and Rory O’Halloran. When I was elected to Council in 1999 I became chair of the committee and the local Lions were also involved.

After 1999, there was a concerted eff ort to scale back events as Byron had become so popular. At this time of year the towns is at capacity, so at-tracting more people into the town doesn’t make sense. Th e focus was safety and for years the town was shut down with barricades and car stickers for locals so as not to present an ‘attractor’. Th e Cornells used to provide the fireworks but stopped due to the environ-mental issues.

Then a plan for low-key family and local-friendly focus was put in place. Th e clubs and pubs have ticketed events, the cafes and restaurants are open, but the streets, park and beach need to be safe, therefore the alcohol prohibition rules were put in place.

It’s not just about NYE; the media that goes out about the town has an eff ect on the town’s overall identity. Byron needs to attract a broad range of visitors and alcohol-fuelled antisocial behaviour do not refl ect well on Byron’s brand. Let’s look back and note that community safety is the priority and mid-night fireworks attract more

people. Keeping Byron safe is a priority all year round.

Jan BarhamGreens MLCBroken Head

Rather than heralding in the new year, the morning of January 1 is spent by many resi-dents of Byron picking up vast amounts of rubbish all over our town and beaches. We do it out of love for our little patch of paradise but it is a dishearten-ing task. Even though they were given garbage bags, most of the campers illegally camping in my immediate neighbourhood chose not to use them. With not a ranger in sight, the recently erected signs prohibiting camp-ing were treated as the joke that they are.

Instead of spending thou-sands of dollars on a fi ve-min-ute fi reworks display, perhaps the business community could allocate this money to clean-ing up the town aft er the tour-ists they have lured here have trashed it. Or, imagine the resources that paid parking throughout the CBD (locals ex-empt) could provide.

It would be a sorry day if visi-tors to Byron were to feel un-welcome but it is hard to feel the milk of human kindness fl ow-ing in your veins aft er bending to pick up the hundredth bottle or can. Without the many vol-unteer garbage collectors who, without fanfare, cleaned up our town and beaches on New Years Day (and every other day throughout the year), the town would look like a huge dump site.

Th e local community of rate-payers, renters and residents surely has the right to expect better planning and controls from our council in this regard. Failing this, the current level of tourism is simply unsustain-able.

Louise AndrewsByron Bay

Th e aff airs of most things go in cycles, with each new set of ‘managers’ having to relearn the lessons of the past.

Aft er the New Year riots of a decade ago Jan Barham and a dedicated committee worked hard to change the dynamic of the night to ‘family friendly’ – they succeeded.

Th is of course was never pop-ular with those who profi t from the exploitation of the Byron image. Th ose who make all the right noises about community and environmental support as long as it doesn’t involve putting their hands in their own pocket. Th ese people have maintained constant pressure on Council to just let them loosen the rules a little (bring back fi reworks/more entertainment for the hoons) and they promise to be good, just trust them.

When it again starts to turn to shit it is of course the fault of the poor bloody council (rate-payers footing the bill), who according to publican Mooney on ABC wireless, ‘decided to let it happen’.

But you don’t have to worry because Mr Waters of the Unit-ed Chamber of Exploitation (big employers of backpackers) has assured in another paper

us that it was not as bad as de-picted – so just get over it!

Meanwhile our increasingly ineff ective local member Don (one voice here, another in Macquarie Street) Page moots a ‘pie in the sky bed tax’ which would only hit the sector of the tourism industry we want to promote, leaving the drunken illegal campers to get on with the trashing of the town.

What happened to the Samba Blisstas? You were sadly missed at Bangalow on Christmas Eve and boy, did Byron need you guys on NY Eve.

Please come back next year and share your fantastic vibe at these events. As lovely as the evening was at Bangalow thanks to the great street per-formers entertaining us all, we really did need the Blisstas to get the whole group united.

As for the lack of colour in Byron on NY Eve, well, what a lost opportunity to showcase our beautiful town. Th e Bund-jalung guys did a great job but way too little was on off er to the keep families interested.

I wonder how much money was donated by the alcohol outlets (who must have made a fortune!) to provide incentives for street performers, drum-mers, buskers to entertain us. A couple of tacky fairground rides does not do credit to our town. Th ank goodness for the full moon and gorgeous weather.

Also we are to have what I think is Bangalow’s fi rst under-ground car park which is sure to present problems and hasn’t even been able to solve the fi rst, ie provide enough spaces. Th ey are seven short and no sugges-tions as to what to do about it.

Some of us – many of us – are very concerned about this proposal and there will be a public meeting this Th ursday January 10 in the Bangalow RSL Hall in Station Street, be-tween 6pm and 7pm, at which we can expect to have ques-tions answered and be given help with submissions. All welcome.

Gasfi eld freeWhile many holiday-makers and travellers enjoy the sum-mer scene in Byron Bay, it can appear that our community is overwhelmed by tourism. On the contrary, many residents are still community-spirited as demonstrated by the large number of volunteers in com-munity organisations, the By-ron Community Centre, and participants in community ac-tions to protect our environ-ment and way of life.

In particular, a group of 20 or more and many supporters have been organising a com-munity survey of Byron Bay to discover whether residents would like their road/street declared Gasfi eld Free. An in-

augural survey is taking place in Broken Head on Saturday January 12.

Following this, on Saturday February 23, is a public meet-ing to provide information on GSG Free actions, and recruit more volunteers for surveying the rest of Byron Bay. Th ank you for showing that Byron still cares.

Dead wallabyAnother wallaby recently found dead beside the Old Pa-cifi c Highway in Bruns. Please watch out for them when driv-ing in or out of Bruns, as they like to eat the grass beside the road, any time of the day or night. And if you see a dead one, please check to see if it has a pouch with a live joey in it.

Th e rescue hotline (24hrs) for WIRES (Wildlife Informa-tion, Rescue and Education Service) is 6628 1898. When I checked this one, two of its relatives were watching nearby from among the trees in the nature reserve.

Lighten the loadOpen letter to federal families Jenny Macklin:

Dear minister, could we please have an exact break-down of how you would spend $35 a day to provide for your-

self and your unspecifi ed num-ber of children in your recent statement to the media? Please include rent, food, transport. clothing, power and entertain-ment.

Please also include a break-down of how you spend your current income of over $6,000 a week divided into the same categories, and clearly demon-strate where you would make the necessary cuts in order to fi t into $35 a day, instead of al-most $1,000 a day.

As a former single parent I know helpful advice from MPs goes a long way to lighten the load. Perhaps you could make a Kitchen Cabinet program with Annabel Crabb, demon-strating a few thrift y recipes.

Bruns parks sagaTh e issue of the caravan parks’ illegal encroachment onto land outside their bounda-ries in Brunswick Heads has been on Council’s papers since June 1988! It is only because of the dogged determination of community groups, par-ticularly since 1997, that it has been brought to its current state. Major concessions have been made to give 1,000s of square metres of some of this encroached land to park man-agement in order to protect permanent residents, bring infrastructure into compli-

ance and provide for overfl ow camping.

Community groups have been well aware, not only of these illegal encroachments, but also of the ‘privatisation’ of the foreshores. It is only in Th e Terrace caravan park that that now continues.

In successive Plans of Man-agement (POM) or ‘develop-ment plans’ Council has always supported the community’s reasoned boundaries. Th e li-censing resolution of August 9 directly refl ected that, nothing more or less. Cr Dey has, delib-erately or otherwise, complete-ly dismissed this and now by his own admission has, since been elected to Council, taken a diff erent position. Th at posi-tion completely contradicts his mandate as representing the community’s interest.

At the Ferry Reserve Cara-van Park, park management had to ‘close’ Riverside Cres-cent in order to bring all ad-joining sites into compliance. While it was designated a pub-lic road, the sites did not com-ply with setback requirements. Closing the public road solved that problem. Th ere is noth-ing in the Crown Lands Act that would have prohibited the inclusion of a public road in a POM for the caravan park, lending credence that closing it was for this compliance rea-son.

Eco housing in the beginnings of the post-industrial world has as its defining feature a comparative large number of people who live within an eco house. Th ere has never been an aff ordable housing crisis, only a crisis of sociability.

At a material, and therefore necessarily, ecological level, at a minimum these houses in the southern hemisphere sub-tropics, have jalousies (doored openings) on the lower south (cooler) wall. This begins movement away from fans and air conditioners in favour of passive ventilation. Th ey also have extensive eaves all round of at least 800m. Roofs also re-

turn to pitches of greater than 45 degrees in anticipation of being thatched when the mills of industry grind to a complete stop. Relatively fl at roofs are not thatchable.

The uneconomic but eco-logically sustainable use of housing thatching requires the growing of the best thatch for this area by any plant through-out the world.

There are two tests for its local legitimacy: one, that it grows well and is therefore adapted to this area, even to the extent of being weed-like, and two that it demonstrate low deteriorability on roofs in this climate.

The report by Backlash (Echo, January 1) of ‘endan-gered species’ underwear could have added that clothing de-pendence of any kind threatens all species. Th e current tenden-cy to wear more clothing into the water is a backwardness born in fear of the sun. Th ose who have been termed ‘sav-ages’ knew to honour the sun.

Th e amount of clothing cur-rently worn into the water is a return to the 1920s, never mind the snowballing of an environ-ment crisis. Th e dance of life can be learnt of moving from sun to shade in balance.

What wondrous life is this I lead! Ripe apples drop about my head; The luscious clusters of the vine Upon my mouth do crush their wine; The nectarine and curious peach Into my hands themselves do reach; Stumbling on melons as I pass, Insnared with flowers, I fall on grass.

– The Garden, by Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

Michael McDonald

It would be fair to say that my contribu-tion to the welfare of our vegetable gar-den is minimal. It’s generally limited to helping turn the hot compost, barrowing loads of authentically organic muck and posting photos of the month’s harvest on Facebook. You could say I can’t work in the hot climate or a man of my advanced years deserves a break, but I just put it down to laziness. If it’s a choice between digging out indestructible nut grass one nut at a time under a 30o sun or sitting on the couch with a book about the good life, it’s a safe bet I’ll choose the latter.

Nevertheless the garden thrives because my partner has more energy than is strict-ly necessary and gives in to her addic-tion to efficiency. Thus I reap the benefits without the effort. Unfair, you say? I agree totally, but wouldn’t want to thwart her selfless desire to assist the unworthy. It must be said I am a dab hand at slicing and dicing said vegetables and washing up the aftermath of their consumption.

The summer months are the cruel-lest for the garden and the gardener. The heat is oppressive. The weeds thrive. The insects attack, their predations offset by the chickens and the birds – what joy to

watch silvereyes in the poinciana, picking green caterpillars from the leaves, or a hen hunting down a grasshopper among the capsicum.

Things grow, get picked and are eaten. Green grapes drape the chookhouse and arch across the pathway. Red peppers get gathered in their dozens – apart from the ones the iron-gutted currawongs steal – and frozen in order to contribute spice to meals throughout the year. Cucumbers pop into existence every few minutes. Thai basil, oregano, marjoram, rosemary and mint perfume the air. Figs ripen and swell. The corn, as the show tune notes, is as high as an elephant’s eye.

Lemons and limes are preserved in salt and eventually become pickle, perfect on

a sandwich with cheese and rocket. This month the tromboncino provides the ma-jor source of bulk in stirfries, succeeding where zucchini would succumb to sub-tropical mould.

Yes, there are failures. The avocado tree’s roots hit the clay barrier and give up hope. Fruit-spotting bugs devastate pecan and macca crops. But overall it’s a frigging mind-blowing explosion of activity from the subatomic level upwards, bristling with fecundity, heedless of the uncertainty of survival. Describing someone as being in a ‘vegetative’ state when they’re coma-tose is a complete misnomer.

It is certainly not the state I’m in on the couch, recovering from all the frantic vegetable action.

is no ‘public road’ to the boat ramp and Cr Dey ‘yields up’ the bitumen non-road to park management.

The long-held vision by park management is for boom gates across this former road so as to keep the boat ramp for the exclusive use of park patrons. There is no other access to the boat ramp other than along this former road. The access problem could be overcome with the former road labelled as a ‘transition zone’ for pedes-trians and vehicles.

The large area of approxi-mately 12,075sqm to the east of the caravan park is the very land onto which community groups have, since before 2000, en-couraged the expansion of the caravan park. Cr Dey ignored this position and dismissed the fact that a concept POM has been on exhibition that includ-ed such an expansion.

And there is a major prob-lem with the recreational space at Ferry Caravan Park. Legisla-tion requires ten per cent of the area of a caravan park to be given over to recreational use. The existing designated space within the Ferry Caravan Park continues to be used for car parking. Thus it fails to meet its intended use and pressure is put onto the foreshore.

Furthermore, despite the efforts of park management, foreshore patrons continue to extend their sites with camping paraphernalia onto the pub-

lic walkway. Added to this, any eastward expansion of the caravan park will require more recreational space. It is imper-ative that public foreshore land be kept outside those bound-aries as a precaution against the long-term commercial leasing of the caravan parks, as optioned in a confidential report September 2005 for the Department of Lands.

In The Terrace caravan park, natural attrition since 2000 has meant that only 16 moveable dwellings are now sited on the foreshore. The deterioration of the foreshore is self-evident and remediation is urgently needed. It is unlikely that any remediation works could begin unless the foreshore is vacated.

In defiance, Cr Dey’s initial and pending rescission mo-tion continues to provide for the privatisation of the fore-shore as opposed to addressing the immediate risk problems these residents are facing with a collapsing riverbank and the public’s desire for a walkway along the foreshores of the Brunswick River.

It defies reason as to why Cr Dey, in full knowledge of the traffic and parking may-hem created by North Coast Holiday Parks along the Ter-race Road, would reduce the required width to address the community’s frustrations and close off options as to what could be done.

Good Posture, Last LongerGood posture is a natural aspect of our being that is obvious to anyone with the eyes to see. We assess each other by beauty and posture without the need to be taught. This knowledge seems to be innate and we do this often, without being conscious of it, yet it helps us form an impression of whomever we meet.

Chiropractors are trained to do ‘postural assessment’ as a fi rst step in understanding and predicting where problems arise in the body. We look at how you stand and how you move. X-ray analysis indicates where you are wearing out and we can predict, from the shape of your spine, where your structure will fail.

If you are experiencing pain then something has failed and we can assist your body to recover by doing an adjustment and correcting the alignment.

If you want your body to perform well, spreading the load evenly throughout your structure, gaining relief from those chronic problems and optimising your health, then we can help by restoring your natural upright posture.

For re-alignment, postural restoration, health optimisation in yourself, your family members and staff join us in our mission of life enhancement at:

Byron Bay Chiropractic Centre1/12 Tasman Way, Byron Arts & Industry Estate. Telephone 6680 9991 or visit byronchiro.com.

FOLK DARLINGS TIN PAN ORANGE RETURN TO PLAY THE MULLUM CIVIC HALL AFTER A BUSY SUMMER OF TOURING. THEY HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM THE FALLS FESTIVAL, WERE HITS OF THE MULLUM MUSIC FESTIVAL IN NOVEMBER AND EARLIER LAST YEAR EMILY’S VOCAL FOR THE ROAD-SAFETY CAMPAIGN WENT VIRAL WITH OVER 35 MILLION VIEWS!

I suppose I have to ask it: will Emily be singing Dumb Ways To Die ? How could anyone expect a train-safety ad to become viral – or was that the intention? Well I guess everyone wants their thing to go viral. But I certainly never expected it from Dumb Ways to Die. Who knew? I must say that I am baffl ed equally by the ways of the internet and the human condition.

Was your new album Over the Sun more challenging album to write, as you were touring Canada most of the time? The writing of this album was spread over a two-year period. Half of it I wrote when I was seven months pregnant and the other half when we were touring through Canada with our little son in tow, and the months on either side of the tour. It’s been a wild ride. I guess when big things happen it can get creative juices fl owing. Sometimes our caravan would be parked beside a frozen lake in the Rockies, on our way to the next town, and I would have to take our baby out for a walk so he wouldn’t wake up the rest of the band and we would fi nd a truck stop that sold coff ee and a lyric would come to me. My songwriting is always an unexpected process. I always wish I was more methodical. Coff ee helps.

What made you want to do a version of Round the Twist theme song? (It was my eldest daughter’s – now 17 – favourite TV show.) Was there some nostalgia involved? We loved the happy nostalgia that permeated the room every time we played it live. We recorded it without the intention of putting on the record but when we listened back it just seemed to belong.

Do you think at the beginning you could have envisaged what you were going to sound like today? I guess its a bit like looking at a baby’s face and trying to guess how they’ll look as an adult? Well, our sound has certainly developed. We have become better songwriters (thankfully) and we have become more adventurous in our production. The fi ve of us that made this last record and now do the live thing together is the most exciting lineup I’ve ever played with. I heart my band!

While looking back retrospectively, tell me the songs that you are proudest of, the ones that you feel have stood the test of time for you as a band? What are the songs you keep going back to? Bottle of Whiskey – I wrote this about a Croatian gypsy whose mother died in childbirth and whose father gave him away for a bottle of whiskey. He told me his story after having known him for fi ve minutes. Most people think it’s an old cover and I take that as a compliment.

Song for Frida Kahlo – People often request this one. I love playing it too. I love the bvs.

Saudades – the ultimate heartbreak song… gotta have a couple!

Lovely – makes folk dance and is the antidote to the heartbreak songs.

There is something a little bit down the rabbit hole or storybook about Tin Pan Orange – sonically fantastical – is that something that you are conscious of as a band? Thank you. Kind of you to say. I don’t think that sound and vibe is too manufactured. I think it has come quite naturally. We’re just folk singers with a good imagination.

How has having a baby changed the way you make music? Is it harder to tour? Record? Write? Rehearse? We have hardly slowed down at all! I

mean it’s pretty mad but somehow having a little baby and touring are quite compatible. There is a lot of dead time in touring. Waiting time. Waiting for a plane, or for soundcheck or for the show. Having a baby fi lls in the gaps. He is surrounded by the band and crew and music. It enriches us all! I do fi nd it harder to write but I take my little opportunities when they come.

It’s a very musical family, with you and Emily as brother and sister, your brother-in-law Harry Angus. Maybe the baby will pick up an instrument as well – do you think there’s any chance of becoming the indie version of the Chambers family?! That’s the plan!

How was the Falls Festival? We had a great show and watching Beach House and The Flaming Lips was delightful!

What should we expect for your Mullumbimby show? All the magic that my band can muster. We’ll give you everything we’ve got!

Tickets for TINPAN ORANGE live at the Mullum Civic Hall on Sunday are available online at www.mullummusic.com or calling Mullum Music on 6684 6195. Doors open 7.30 – show 8pm.

Special guest support – Loren Kate.

CITY OF LIGHT RAILSA smack in the mouth by a bear holding a wet salmon with gravel rash, BS3 are said to be the hardest working two-piece roots rock band in Oz. With a massive sound driven by percussive grooves and face-melting psychedelic guitar riff s, these lads are sure to get your heart thumpin’!

According to Sam Fell from Rhythms, BS3’s album City of Light ‘isn’t country at all, but more a mish-mash of a variety of roots-based styles… Slide-guitar-driven blues tunes, folk-ish saunters, rock ‘n’ roll thumpers… it’s all there really, a real mixed bag.’ Catch them at the Rails on Wednesday.

PARTY AT THE NORTHERNCombining the celebration of both Sophie’s Birthday and the Indigo Intuition After Party, 3rd Eye Productions and 7 Whatevers combine their forces again to bring audiences another amazing night full of awesome music. Special guests on the night include a few of the highlight artists who played at Indigo Intuition and Trip Kicks New Years Eve. Hotel Great Northern on Friday.

$20 Entry. Doors open at 8.30pm.

BROAD NUDGEBroadfoot return to the pleasurable confi nes of the Billinudgel Hotel Friday from 8pm. Bring your dancing shoes, get ready to sweat it out (after the last gig here a female patron was heard to utter that her pilates class wasn’t a patch on a night of dancing to Broadfoot). Great atmosphere, friendly people and a super way to shake some of those extra Christmas/New Year kilos!

AUSTRALIA’S FIRST LADY OF THE BLUESWendy Saddington is an Australian blues/soul/jazz singer, who left her mark in the late 60s and early 70s as Australia’s ‘First Lady Of The Blues’, with such iconic bands as Chain, Jeff St John & Copperwine and the Wendy Saddington Band. Saddington had Top 30 chart success with her 1972 solo single Looking Through a Window. In March 1973, The Who’s rock opera Tommy was performed as an orchestral version in Australia with Saddington in the role of the nurse. Other Australian artists were Daryl Braithwait, Billy Thorpe, Doug Parkinson, Broderick Smith, Jim Keays, Colleen Hewett, Linda George, Ross Wilson, Bobby Bright, and Ian Meldrum. Around 1985 Saddington formed a duo with pianist Peter Head. They performed together on and off for the remainder of the decade and in 2002 Head organised a Wendy Saddington concert at Sydney’s infamous jazz and blues institution, The Basement, handpicking a band for her of Sydney’s fi nest soul/jazz musicians. In 2003, Saddington provided three tracks for the album Women ‘n’ Blues and recently Wendy made a spectacular comeback on RocKwiz and has been performing a series of shows in Sydney and Melbourne to great acclaim.

Wendy is very excited to be presenting a special one-off performance in Mullumbimby on Sunday at The Courthouse Hotel 3pm, supported by The Lez Karski Band (The Hippos and Bondi Cigars).

SUMMER OF KAYEAfter many years earning a reputation as a high-energy performer and adroit multi-instrumentalist both nationally and internationally at festivals small and large, including Glastonbury Festival (UK) and Splendour In the Grass, as well as playing onstage and jamming with many of the industry’s best musicians like John Butler and Pete Murray as well as with players from The Beautiful Girls, Blue King Brown, Machine Translations, Tijuana Cartel, Mr Percival and more, Kaye has long established himself as one of Australia’s most engaging live acts.

This show is no diff erent, except that he’ll be experimenting new tunes with the added power of drummer Orlando Allen (Deya Dova, Gong) and Dave Tweedie (Pete Murray) on bass grooves. Nathan Kaye is a bit of a hippie activist, with many of his songs dealing with subjects like setting aside time from the hustle ‘n’ bustle of modern life to children being locked in detention centres. But he’s also quite the larrikin and loves to spin funny yarns about his adventures on the road. Rails Hotel this Saturday 7–10pm.

A BLOKE CALLED ALUWhen you’re Bobby Alu, a year whips past in moments, across innumerable miles. It seems like yesterday that the Q Music Song Award-nominated single Love You More was released to solid Triple J praise, yet since its February 2012 debut, Bobby Alu has traversed the nation, with a kickarse performance at the Byron Bluesfest, and now he’s back for more. But that’s not to say that Bobby Alu is an overnight sensation; Bobby’s alter ego Charles Wall has long been a highly-respected sought-after musician for his incredible skills on the drumkit, his soulful voice and gifted songwriting. When Bobby Alu is taking time out from the spotlight, Charles Wall is touring the world as drummer and vocalist for renowned Australian progressive roots/dance trio OKA, and as a regular co-conspirator with the likes of Nicky Bomba, Kooii, Mista Savona, Saritah, Golden Sound, Cheap Fakes and many more. Given that his musical exploits (and alter egos) require such devoted travel and continual hard work, Bobby has relied on visiting Samoa to slow down and take time out from heavy touring. Upon his return to Queensland Bobby Alu and band worked intensively on new material, reshaped some old,

and showcased at ReggaeTown, Village Arts and Eclipse festivals while they drew up plans to take the music out to their people during the upcoming tour and festival dates with a performance at Hotel Brunswick on Sunday from 4pm.

THE KID’S ALRIGHT Kid Mac has kicked off another tour and will bring his dynamic Lunatic Tour to The Brewery this Friday with special guest Raz Bin Sam.

In breaking news, the Kid Mac team are proud to announce two nominations in the AFI Awards for

his fi lm Fighting Fear! Best Direction and Best Cinematography in the Documentary category.

Not sure if you are aware but Kid Mac is a successful fi lmmaker as well as a talented musician! PLUS – he will have his own TV show on Foxtel’s Fuel TV from early next year too. He’s had a fi lm crew follow him for three years and the result is a TV series called The Crew. Entry $10.

TEMPLE DOGSSteve Tyson and Dave Parnell present Temple Dog, an album that would assuredly have met with the approval of the great American writer Ernest Hemingway, were he still around. Such are the stories woven through Tyson’s songs, which he will perform on Sunday afternoon at Sphinx Rock Cafe, in the Tweed Valley. Currently in the middle of recording his follow-up album,

Steve (guitar, dobro, mandolin) will take a break from the studio to take to the stage at 2pm accompanied by his longtime touring sidekick Dave Parnell (percussion and guitar). 2pm.

IN THE LIME CORDIALE LIGHTLime Cordiale are taking their fl avour of indie-pop up the coast this summer with a show at the Byron Brewery. Fresh from writing some tracks with tour buddies Electric Empire, and gearing up to get back in the studio to record their second EP, Lime Cordiale will be tight, loud and a lot of fun.

The Sydney fi ve-piece have had a killer year touring with The Specials, Cosmo Jarvis, The Rubens, Hey Geronimo and Electric Empire, and have graced bills for Homebake and Peats Ridge Festivals. Saturday.

This summer one thing has become abundantly clear: there is no need to advertise the merits of Byron Bay. People seem to have got the message. And let’s face it, they would come in their droves even if the place ran a promotional campaign featuring an overweight elderly woman wearing a g-string frolicking in the surf with her walk-ing frame. It doesn’t matter what kind of key message the tourism industry creates, it’s redundant – Byron is viral.

Byron has become an enigma, Australia’s answer to Ibiza or Thailand’s Koh Phangan. The identity has been forged through experience and myth, part nostalgia and part utopia. It would seem that for those of us who live here, and those of us who visit, Byron Bay holds the magic. Any marketing guru knows that this is Tourism Nirvana.

I have been here over 20 years and yes, it’s clearly changed. Byron is no longer the chilled alternative hippy town that it once was. And yes, sometimes that does make me feel a little sad. But then I am no longer the svelte gorgeous fi rm-skinned goddess I once was either. And that makes me even sadder!

Everything changes. Byron was destined to fi nd infamy, to be loved as many say, ‘to death’. We are at a tourism tipping point. How do we sustain our beautiful and very much loved party princess? Is it possible to have such enormous visitor numbers and a contented community?

Every year local residents are appalled by the impact huge visi-tor numbers have on their town. It’s a recurrent and reoccurring carnage, seemingly exponential in its growth – our pristine beaches trashed with bottles and broken glass, new trees trodden fl at or mature branches snapped clean off , our roadways choked with traf-fi c, increased incidence of drunken violence and sexual assault, hour queues for a table at a restaurant, no parking at the beach or in town, local residents disturbed by late-night parties in illegal holiday lets, streets full of young day-trippers camping in their cars.

The community cries out in horror, the business community goes into reaction and declares that those vocal community members are in fact anti-tourism. And guess what, nothing changes. We just all throw another tantrum the following year. This I believe is the biggest hurdle in eff ectively addressing true positive change in the culture of Byron Bay. It becomes another parochial battle of Us and Them.

We are all dependent in some way on the tourism industry. A healthy and happy local community can only benefi t the tourism industry. The broader community needs to get engaged actively in driving the process of community development – forging ahead with much-needed social and physical infrastructure. Let’s face it, right now most of us long-term residents tolerate tourists, but we resent them. We curse Queensland number plates, we rage in queues, we get RSI from fl ipping the bird, and then we take their money.

The Byron Shire looks tired. People clearly don’t come here for the beautiful parks and clean toilets. Apart from a new library, and a sports centre, most of the infrastructure in our region is decrepit. The other day I was shopping in a supermarket in Byron and when I had to go to the toilet the staff directed me to the pub. I wasn’t aware licensed premises were supposed to provide public sanitation.

The Mullum pool is a favoured local location and it’s in dire need of an upgrade, as is the Bangalow pool. Ocean Shores needs sports fi elds. And fl agged beaches. We need big and modern children’s parks throughout the region, clean and well-lit public toilets, some-where to change a baby’s nappy. We need fully funded community-worker positions at our Community Centre; we need the BAT bus that looks after underage drinkers to be funded so it can get back on the road; we need transport for our young people so they’re not mowed down on the roads hitching drunk at night, and we – the community of Byron Bay and surrounds – need to be fully engaged in a consulta-tive process of community engagement that goes beyond the usual economic markers and involves social measures as well.

Last year I attended the NSW Regional Tourism Conference in Gunnedah for three days. As the MC of the entire event I sat through all the keynotes. I learnt a lot. For instance, our visitor numbers dwarf anything else in regional NSW. On a visitation graph presented by Destination NSW CEO Sandra Chipchase, it was revealed that while every other regional centre including Newcastle and Coff s Harbour and the central coast had stubby little rectangles, Byron’s protruded phallus-like into the biosphere. It was the geographical equivalent of introducing the Gold Coast’s Q1 into the main street of Mullumbimby.

Byron gets 1.8 million visitors a year. That’s a lot of bodies. That’s a lot of wallets. Then why does our area look like shit? Why aren’t we com-pensated with state-of-the-art community facilities? Simple answer? Because state legislation doesn’t allow local councils to capture monies to be spent on infrastructure, the impacts of tourism have to be funded by the ratepayer.

As an industry, tourism at this level has a similar social-impact foot-print to mining. Everyone is aff ected. Mining companies are forced through government legislation to compensate the towns they aff ect with huge contributions towards community infrastructure. When it comes to impact, Byron’s 1.8 million visitation is the equivalent to an

open-cut mine, blowing dollars in one direction and dust in another. So let’s accept that tourism is here to stay, that Byron presents the entire region with a remarkable opportunity. And while I’m on this let me address the Byron parochialism that sees itself separate and disconnected from places like Lismore or Casino, or Mullumbimby, Bangalow, Billinudgel, Clunes or Eltham. Byron has always been a locals’ beach, and those locals have come from country towns and farmlands in a radius over 100 kilometres. While some don’t ‘live’ in the shire it would be remiss not to take into consideration that they too are part of the local beach community of Byron Bay.

Infrastructure doesn’t happen without money. In the case of mining it’s simple – one contractor – one large deposit. In the case of tour-ism it’s challenging – a multiplicity of operators – so how does one collect levys from all the benefi ciaries of the industry? And in such a diverse industry how could you make it equitable? It’s a headache to even contemplate how one would collect cash contributions from cafes, restaurants, accommodation, pubs, buskers…

So should we tax the tourist? Bed Tax? Park and Ride for day-trippers? E-toll at Byron’s entrance for all visitors? This is clearly where the work has to be done, and it has to be lobbied locally through community consultation (that’s business and non-business alike) and pushed at state level. But before we become disempowered by the sheer enor-mity of how we manage to collect the money, consider this: what if every visitor paid $2? That would be well over $3.5 million annually.

So why wait for legislation? Let’s introduce a voluntary program, instigated by all those businesses who benefi t from the tourism in-dustry, something in line with the carbon-off set contribution you can choose to pay when booking a fl ight. It’s the Byron Bay Community Infrasturucture Off set Contribution.

I don’t think there’s a tourist on the street who would be resentful giving to that. We could even start by heritage listing hippies and have them with buckets in the street competing with the koalas. It’s time tourism operators and community members worked together in a more collegial and egalitarian fashion to create a vision of what kind of town we are going to create. That’s the fi rst step towards a happy and more harmonious community. Because let’s face it, Byron isn’t just a destination, it’s home.

The Echo will be holding a Public Forum on the Vision for Byron and the challenges of infrastruc-ture defi cit in the very near future. Stay tuned for more details in coming weeks.

BOOK REVIEWS These book reviews are brought to you by Mary Ryan’s Books Music & Coffee

Shop 5/21 Fletcher St, Byron Bay 02 6685 8183www.maryryan.com.au

Th e Fault In Our StarsJohn GreenReview by Erin MitchellHazel Lancaster, diagnosed with thyroid cancer at 13, is the protagonist of the novel. She walks with an oxygen tank, called ‘Phillip’, as she doesn’t want to be seen as the cancerous girl in an elevator, or in a wheelchair. Hazel is not naive. She understands her disease and is ever conscious of her imminent de ath . She wants to keep the impact and inevitable damage of her disease to a minimum.

Weekly, Hazel is forced to attend cancer support group by her frightened loving mum. One week, out of the blue, Augustus Waters shows up at the group. He says he only came in support of another friend but by the looks of his limp, he has a plastic leg – a result of a previous bone cancer. Instantly drawn together by their common history and diverse outlook on life, Augustus and Hazel spend days together discussing the world and its meaning. Mostly, they ask whether it is better to live your life to the fullest or to lower the negative impact on those you love.

For me, the strongest part of the novel is the characterisation. Th ese are people who you come to love, not out

of sympathy, but because they are so damned likeable.

Kingdom Of Strangers Zoe FerrarisReview by John MitchellA beautifully written and culturally sensitive work reminiscent of le Carré’s early work. While the story centres on

a mystery, it off ers so much more, both in its characterisations and its presentation of the world of sexual politics in Saudi Arabia.

At the heart of Kingdom of Strangers are the themes of decency, respect and fairness. A liberal-minded detective, more concerned about solving crime than attending to the gender prescriptions held by the more conservative elements within the police force, joins forces with a bright young pathologist who is desperate to move into the homicide branch despite the many obstacles placed in her way. Solving the crime is complicated, and

even undermined, by the personal stories of each of the protagonists.

Zoe Ferraris transports into the heart of Saudi Arabia not unlike the manner in which Khaled Hosseini takes us into Afghanistan in The Kite Runner. Th e reader is confronted with a world where hiding and subtefuge are part of life, and everyone is hiding something.

Th is is a compelling book.

Th e EngagementChloe HooperReview by John Mitchell D i s t u r b i n g , agitating and c a p t i v a t i n g , Chloe Hooper’s eagerly awaited new novel is not an easy ride. Her previous book Tall Man presented a deeply moving account of C a m e r o n Doomadgee’s death in a Palm Island police cell and was described by Peter Carey as simply the finest Australian thriller written. So it was with great excitement that I opened Th e Engagement.

I could not have been more taken aback! It is difficult to like much about the

self-indulgent and rather pathetic protagonist, Liese (or ‘whatever her name is’). Her empty world is limping into nowhere when she shares a surprise passionate encounter with a real-estate client, Alexander Colquhoun. His offer to pay for the cleaning of the bedspread is taken as an off er to pay for the sex and therein begins a relationship of misunderstanding and mistrust. Hooper pushes us so convincingly into that world that the

reader cannot help feeling destabilised, frightened, angry and resentful. What a ride! Never sure of what constitutes solid ground – what is up and what is down. Never sure who to trust. Never sure if I

liked either person enough to care...

If your pushbike is as wobbly and unreliable as mine, have a look at Th e Engagement.

Ruby RedfortLauren ChildBook Review by Myah Passmore, Currumbin, aged 11 years 9 months.

Ruby Redfort is a thirteen-year-old kid, who is brave, funny and extremely intelligent. The reasons I enjoy the Ruby Redfort books is because she isn’t your everyday, average girl, she’s unbelievably smart, completely unpredictable, extremely cool and a code-cracking genius!

Th e Ruby Redfort books are packed with action, mysteries and answers. So if I were you, buster, I’d get a hold of a Redfort book really quickly. Yeah, I’m looking at you!

What Th e Raven SawSamantha-Ellen BoundWhat the Raven Saw is about a raven that fi nds

his spot on the church roof every day to watch the funerals take place because he enjoys watching the bodies shuffl ing about. Th e beady-eyed raven always seems to get distracted by a weather hen that he believes always follows him. His other ‘friend’, you could say, a pigeon, is a bit annoying at times, but the pigeon does consider them as friends. Th e old raven doesn’t like being

disturbed while the mass is on because its the one time where he doesn’t hate humans; he likes the song that the priest and the old ladies with the fancy hats sing:

I’ll fl y away, O glory,

I’ll fl y away, in the morning

When I die, Hallelujah by and by,

I’ll fl y away.

But after the song he remembers how pointless

and ridiculous the song is because it’s sung by humans who have arms not wings, so how could they fl y, he thinks.

What the Raven Saw is an interesting book but at times can get a little bit hard to understand and can turn you off from

what’s happening in the story. Th e book is a great read, though. I personally enjoyed most of the book. I would recommend this book to boys and girls, aged

11+ who are interested in something a bit different, including animals with a wide imagination, an extraordinary churchyard and a little bit of humour!

Reassembling The Dreamlanders for one night only, Jack Ladder heads north for the fi rst time in a long time – having spent the second half of 2012 writing brand-new material, touring through America and showcasing on the CMJ Festival.

One-man chamber-pop orchestra Wintercoats brings his solo symphony to the A&I Hall for the fi rst time. The project of Melbourne’s James Wallace, writes Inpress of his gorgeous sound – ‘loop-driven contours and vocal-less passages of soundtrack-y beauty neatly encapsulate what manages to sound like an entire universe’.

Performing from their newly released album, Bored Nothing will offi cially open proceedings. A Melbourne four-piece who mix and match shoegaze and sludge-metal, loner folk and riot girl.

A celebration of indie-rock in exceptional surrounds, tickets for Spunk Tones are at Barebones Art Space (44 Byron Street Bangalow), All Music & Vision (Ballina, Lismore) and Oztix.com.au.

WHEN YESHE MEANS YESMulti-instrumentalist, composer, performer Yeshe returns to Byron after months on the road, to present his original, eclectic, world music songs and grooves for the hot summer crowd. With confi rmed guests violinist extraordinaire Cye Wood, singer Parissa Bouass (Hottentots), and more surprise guests to come, it will be a night to remember with ‘the Eminem of world music’. A childhood spent learning African instruments and songs from neighbouring African immigrants in his German home town, to his gypsy adult life performing in Europe, Japan with study journeys to Africa in between helped create his truly global outlook on life and music. With master musicians he learned the ‘mbira’ (thumb piano), and the n’goniba, a small guitar ancestor from West Africa, and djembe (West African hand drum). Over the years Yeshe’s performed with numerous artists while honing his own unique sound. His latest CD

Roots and Wings (Vitamin Records) garnered rave reviews when it came out in 2011. A mix of original, classic, and traditional music, Yeshe’s established himself as a leader in genre-bending global fusion. The opening song, Peace of Mind, won the Billboard World Song Contest that year. In 2012 he toured to 55 Australian venues with Mohan Veena master and frequent collaborator Harry Manx (Canada), and open for Xavier Rudd on his Australian and USA tours. Thursday, Buddha Bar, Byron Bay Brewery, 8pm.

Tickets: $20 at the door or phone bookings 6685 5833.

Last week’s solution

WITH LILITH

Late-week new moon and Venus

joining Sun, Mercury and

Pluto in ambitious, practical Capricorn

kicks the New Year into gear with fi rm, determined

purpose…

Stars ARIES: Aries are always at their best starting over, so take every advantage of this week’s organised, business-like vibes to get solid plans in place for the year ahead – all of which will be best achieved through teamwork, cooperation and being part of a group eff ort.

TAURUS: With planetary ruler Venus in your material sector, money tops this week’s agenda. But she’s in your personal house of wanderlust too, so greener pastures are also calling Tauran paws and jaws. Satisfy both urges by traveling into the future, laying down long-range plans for this year.

GEMINI: With Venus in show-me-the-money Capricorn, fi nances make their presence felt in relationships. But when you’re crunching numbers, watch what you share and what you keep to yourself. And as inimitable Gemini Patch Adams advises, if you focus on the problem you can’t see the solution.

CANCER: This week’s energy is about manifesting dreams, Crabsters, so take a long, hard, unsentimental look at your talents and abilities and choose the best way to make use of them this year – by doing what you really love, not just shrinking your thinking to what’s economically possible.

LEO: Things are powering along of their own accord right now, so no need to push them. This week’s for maintenance, majesties – scheduling health checks and attending to whatever needs fi xing, replacing or readjusting. Taking the credit card for a stroll? Wait till next week, which is even cheaper.

VIRGO: Capricorn time’s ideal for networking and connecting, something this week’s planetary placements in your house of entertainment render a fairly delightful exercise. Virgo-friendly vibes suggest you’ll be most successful as your naughtiest, sauciest self while still managing to get heaps achieved and dealt with.

LIBRA: If you’re enthused but bemused about this year’s direction, check out Kirk Nugent’s Answer The Call on YouTube. Librans can bring out the best in others, and this week any group you’re involved with will benefi t from your positive input and your bubby eff ect on energetic heaviness...

SCORPIO: As thrilling possibilities sing their siren song, this week issues a duo of new year directives: 1) Don’t look back. Right now the past can’t help you. And 2) Keep moving beyond what you already know. The answers you’re looking for are in unfamiliar territory.

SAGITTARIUS: You really don’t have to take on killer responsibilities. It’s a new year, about quality of life, remember? Not all this week’s challenges can be solved rationally – and why should they when Sagittarians are such fabulous intuitives? Rethink your need for speed around accident-prone midweek Sag moon.

CAPRICORN: Venus and new moon joining Sun, Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn for the power point of your year are all supporting change: small, important, large and radical. Enjoyable change, because as Capricorn composer Irving Mills observed, It Don’t Mean A Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing…

AQUARIUS: This week’s on a mission and determined as the Terminator to get its teeth into the new year. Your contribution to this no-nonsense, let’s get back on track scenario is to provide some much-needed light relief and subvert the dominant paradigm of single-mindedness by fi nding relaxed, enjoyable ways of operating so everyone has more fun.

PISCES: This week has a severe case of the practicals, insisting that you improve the quality of your product, services or interactions with others. Because giving people the respect, acknowledgement and gratitude due to them will bring you the returns you deserve – believe it or else.

LISMORE ART

GALLERYNight Visions is an exhibition that features

works by contemporary Australian artists

exploring various aspects of the night

in an Australian landscape. It negotiates

country from parts of the Northern

Territory to Melbourne and back up to the

Torres Strait.

The night is a vast and universal theme. As

the late artist, Gulumbu Yunupingu, said

so poetically: the stars show us that we

are all the same underneath. We can all

look at these stars whichever sky we are

looking at. Free people share the broad

and beautiful canopy of the night sky.

Night Visions brings together an esteemed

list of artists, a number of whom, most

notably Jon Cattapan, Mark Kimber,

Andrew Browne and Trent Parke, have

explored the theme of night over

consecutive series. The exhibition also pays

heed to the rich references to the night sky

in traditional indigenous cultures.

NORTHERN RIVERS COMMUNITY

GALLERY LOOKING AT THE

LANDSCAPE

For centuries artists have

been looking at the

landscape for inspiration. In 2013 the

exhibition program at the Northern Rivers

Community Gallery in Ballina kicks off with

fi ve new exhibitions showcasing the work

of six artists from across then northern

rivers region.

Each of the exhibitions explore

landscapes in some way, bringing forth

artistic interpretations and responses to

various locations ranging from imagined

landscapes to real landscapes as close to

home as Broken Head and as far away as

Europe and Nepal. Each exhibition off ers a

diff erent vision of landscape, light, culture,

time and our relationship to place.

Working in linocuts and monoprinting,

Colleen DaRosa’s exhibition ‘A Geography

of Light’ is in response to time spent in

Scandinavia, London and Berlin in 2012

during the northern hemisphere’s summer.

Following a long tradition of artists

responding to the dramatic diff erence in

the intensity of light from the sun across

the globe, Colleen’s work investigates

the drama of the diff erence between

the brilliant Australian light with harsh

shadows and contract to (for example)

the soft, still, gentle Nordic lights. Her

works are fl owing and fl uid with an earthly

EXHIBITIONIN FOCUSBYRON ARTS CLASSICThe Byron Arts Classic, Jan 11 – 16, is an exciting art exhibition that supports and develops the careers of many local artists. An outstanding success, it offers a rich 6-day celebration of paintings, sculpture, photographs and works on paper and provides an opportunity for emerging artists to take their practice more seriously, and showcase alongside established artists. The Classic reaches, encourages and affects a large audience of locals and visitors from around the globe.

Held annually at the Byron Community Centre, Friday 11 January Opening Night is all about the celebration of local artists and their work. The Byron Theatre becomes the three-tiered Dawkins Gallery, with a fl oor-to-gantry sculpture garden surrounded by a diverse range of artwork from north coast visual artists. The upper level

is where many of the smaller works are intimately displayed. A second large gallery space upstairs plus the upper and lower foyers are fi lled with artworks. Opening night will see the 11 awards announced to an audience of friends, local art lovers, sponsors and

supporters. Throughout the event the Community Table Cafe & Bar is open and after the awards the ambience is strengthened by a performance of live music.

rhythm. The

experience

of light is

abstracted

and reduced.

Notably,

DaRosa

‘pushes’ her

prints further

by cutting and

layering so we

get a sense

of an added

dimension –

as we look

‘through’, not

just ‘at’.

Faye Maxwell’s ‘Bodyscapes’ is a rough, raw and dynamic

collection of mixed media on paper. Some works are layered,

some are simply a few shapes and forms, but all have an

immediacy and energy that compels us to imagine the artist at

work with intensity and passion.

‘Broken Headlands’ is the work of two artists – Rick Molloy and

Maryanne Shea – who have been visiting the Broken Head

Nature Reserve for the last 2 years. Inspired by the natural wild

beauty of jagged, rocky headlands and sheltered white beaches,

the artists have produced ‘plein air’ drawings from which they

completed the exhibition of

paintings and drawings.

‘Return to Girraween’ by Karyn

Fendley are new paintings

of the Granite Belt region.

The artist’s bold and graphic

style captures a sense of this

place that highlight the strong

sculptural form of rocks; lyrical,

linear tree branches reaching

and twisting, all softened by

textural grasses and dappled

fl owers.

Aboriginal artist Mirra-Winni

Gaze’s exhibition ‘Namaste’

is in response to a recent trip to Nepal. In her

exhibition of paintings and weavings we see

cultural and subjective responses to being at

home and being far away from home.

These exhibitions are on display from 9 January

until 3 February. The offi cial launch event is

Saturday 12 January from 2pm until 4pm.

FOTOGRAPHY FOR SMALL

OCCASIONS The Tree Faerie has been a busy little sprite over the festive

season shooting family portraits, the view from a Tiger Moth,

surfers, a new puppy and plenty of Christmassy things. She has

also been pointing her camera at all sorts interesting people as

she snapshots for her Humans Of Byron Shire Facebook page.

Ready to fl y ahead into the new year, she has her camera

movement photography in 2013 with a few special projects in

the wings as well as some newborns who are currently growing

apace inside mums’ tums.

Les MiserablesI’m usually reluctant to quote other reviewers, but Todd McCarthy of the Hollywood Reporter came up with a line for the ages when he described Tom Hooper’s adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s stage phenomenon as ‘musical diarrhoea’. Who am I, I thought, to challenge such a pithy and pungently impertinent assessment?

From the moment that Russell Crowe unleashes his tuneless baritone, you can’t help but get the feeling that Victor Hugo might never have put quill to parchment had he known what his epic novel would be reduced to. In Rusty’s defence, as Inspector Javert, persecutor of the humble but heroic Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), he gives the impression of a manacled actor who is yearning to

get stuck into an historically great part (doubtless he’d seen Charles Laughton’s magnifi cent 1938 portrayal). Anne Hathaway is even more wearisome as Fantine, but thankfully she carks it early – a one-angle close-up in which she emotes with overwrought, X-Factor awfulness provides us with a cavernous look into her gaping, purple-tongued mouth. Jackman cut his teeth on this sort of malarkey and is perfectly comfortable in the role of the nineteenth-century’s Richard Kimble, but ultimately they are all let down by the dreariest of soundtracks. Compared with cinema’s monumental musicals – South Pacifi c, West Side Story, The Sound of Music etc – there is not a song that stays in your head, not a melody to hold a candle to ‘Doh, a deer’. Sets, costumes and atmospherics are beyond reproach (the opening shot of the boat being hauled into dry-dock is a fantastic creation), but such studious realism is in itself a serious problem, for it confl icts with the unreality of the genre, constantly nobbling the drama with a sense of silliness (it’s

hard not to giggle). Lacking dialogue, it’s a bit like an opera, but only in the way that Tony Abbott is a bit like a human being. By all accounts, there is a terrifi c number at the end, but at 157 minutes it was too far away for me. ~ John Campbell

The Life Of PiAfter peaking (pardon the pun) with Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee blotted his copybook with his most recent outing, the regrettable Taking Woodstock (2009). He has, however, made a triumphant return to form with this lyrical visualisation of Yann Martel’s Booker prize-winning novel. Stripped bare, it’s a nautical/spiritual road trip in which we cross the Pacifi c in a lifeboat with Pi Patel and Richard Parker, a fully grown Bengal tiger. In transferring what was a richly esoteric fable to the screen, Lee’s success can ironically be attributed to the orthodoxy of his approach. He bookends the narrative, told in fl ashback, with the older Pi (Irrfan Khan) explaining to a biographer (Rafe Spall) the origin of his curious name and how, as a teenager, his father decided to move the family and his privately owned zoo animals from Pondicherry to Canada. All but Pi and four other creatures perished in a storm at sea. From this point, as is standard procedure, the cuts to Pi and his interviewer are omitted until the concluding, present-day scenes of summary and refl ection. In between is the journey, in which Lee wisely lets his camera do the work. The sights are wondrous, whether in 2D or 3D – at one point the audience gasped at the ocean’s glowing phosphorescence. The

younger Pi (Suraj Sharma), distressed and near overwhelmed by his plight, eventually understands that his twenty-six-foot vessel is a microcosm of life and all its struggles (including a heavy dose of anthropomorphism, with the hyena copping a bad rap as villain). Because the most profound stories are usually the simplest, the second half of the fi lm is inclined to repetition, but

when we are dealing with such

spectacularly beautiful and

convincing imagery it hardly

matters. At the beginning

of his conversation with the

writer, Pi said that his tale

would convince him of the

existence of God; I’m not sure

that it did that for me, but it

certainly put me in awe of

the power and the glory of

computer-generated imagery.

Sublime. ~ John Campbell

Do you need legal advice?

1. Mickey Rourke is superb as The Wrestler (ONE HD, Saturday,

8.30pm), directed by Darren Aronofsky, he of the equally

emotionally charged Black Swan. Rourke plays an ageing

professional wrestler who continues to wrestle matches in

an attempt to cling on to his 1980s heyday despite his failing

health.

2. There were few singers with the power and charisma of

Jim Morrison in his prime, and his band The Doors hardly

had a bad track in their catalogue at the time. In Mr Mojo

Risin – The Story Of L.A. Woman (SBS2, Sunday, 8.30pm)

we learn about The Doors in the context of their fi nal album,

L.A. Woman, which was released in April 1971 – shortly before

Morrison’s untimely death.

www.echo.net.au Th e Byron Shire Echo January 8, 2013 33<echowebsection=Good Taste>

There is a cafe in Byron Bay off ering something unique. And rather than doing so as a point-of-diff erence, its motivation is altruistic: it hopes to lead by example.

Cafe one one one in Jonson Street has begun to off er complimentary snacks in the afternoons – specifi cally for those who pop in for a drink. It is, in the words of co-owner and head chef Jade Campbell-Scott, all about ‘trying to turn obligation into opportunity.’ Addressing the town’s formidable reputation for binge-drinking, he and his partners have decided to adopt the centuries-old European tradition of serving tapas-type dishes between 3pm and 5.30pm.

After my last visit to Italy I wrote rapturously about the bars there – one in Perugia especially – which always ensure there is some form of food to accompany the consumption of alcoholic beverages; even a tiny bar in a village will provide warm olives in a bowl, or nuts on the counter. This tradition performs the dual function of lining stomachs and embodying the essence of hospitality.

Bravely, Jade is trying it out here. He is aware that it may be met with suspicion but will push on regardless. The sorts of snacks he serves draw on, furthermore, the glorious armoury of preserves, relishes, chutneys and pickles his kitchen team has been gradually creating and accruing over the past couple of years, much of it on display at the front of the cafe. This, he tells me, means ‘we can be creative… inspire our chefs to try out new things… (it) allows us to tickle through all those tasty little things, allows for fl exibility and play-time.’ He says that it’s good for the front-of-house staff too, ‘enabling them to engage with customers, explain the food and wine.’ And people get to try something they haven’t tried before. ‘It’s been done in Europe for

centuries’, he says. ‘It stops people being very drunk in the afternoon and the evening.’ It is, he points out, an opportunity to create a cultural change.

This is a cafe which has always sought to express its individuality, whose food has been unlike most other establishments in the Shire – share-plates before they became ubiquitous; pillowy polenta propping up poached eggs, spinach and parmesan shards for breakfast. Jade, his wife Laura and Sam Ginks bought the business seven years ago, luring Jade and Laura back from Melbourne where they had been steadily burning themselves out in various restaurants. As for Sam, he had been serving superlative coff ees on the premises throughout its various incarnations, beginning with the original espressohead.

I know this because I have faithfully frequented them all. And right away understood that, as Cafe one one one, this was my sort of place and my sort of food: peasant European if you like, but also food utilising unpopular or lesser known ingredients, dishes researched from obscure sources, plates challenging expectations. The old mantra of local and seasonal underpinning it all. Ethical, considered, diff erent.

And so it comes as no surprise that this cafe has now taken this step. It is a very small step – but the notion of slipping into one one one after a movie at the fabulous new Palace opposite and discussing it with friends over wine and a little crispbread with spiced pear chutney, or some semi-dried olives and almonds for which I will only pay the price of the wine, is utterly enticing – and utterly civilised. ‘We hope’, Jade says, ‘that other licensed food businesses will follow suit.’

Dave ‘Rasta’ Rastovich has won the open division of the 16th annual Billabong Burleigh Sin-gle Fin Festival, trumping an incredible field of 96 surfers that included the who’s who of Gold Coast surfi ng talent.

Stars like former ASP world champion Mark Occhilupo, world number two Luke Egan, reigning world junior Champi-on Jack Freestone, junior stand-out Thomas Woods, Wade Goodall and West Australian ripper Creed McTaggert lined up alongside local legends and Burleigh Boardriders champi-ons – all surfi ng pre-1985-made single-fin boards in classic Burleigh conditions.

Surfers traded barrels throughout the unique two-day event, thanks to a puls-ing east swell generated from a pressure system situated in the Coral Sea. Wave aft er wave turned inside-out over the rul-er-edge sandbank running the length of the famous point and hundreds of spectators took up position under the pandanus palms and enjoyed two free, live sets by famed Aussie blues musician, Ash Grunwald.

Th ere were plenty of per-

fect 10-point rides handed out by the judges with Soli Bailey (Byron Bay), Jack Lewis and Jack Freestone among those locking in perfect scores. But it was grommet Noah Deane who stole the show, register-ing a perfect heat – 20 out of 20 – thanks to two tens in his quarter-fi nal showing.

Th e Open fi nal was decided by less than a point, with Ras-tovich just edging out Free-stone, who finished second ahead of Noah Deane, Noah Lane, Woods and Anthony Pols.

Rastovich received his fi rst-place prize, a coveted gleam-ing, hand-shaped single fin made by master craftsman, Dick Van Straalan.

‘It’s such a wonderful thing to be able to come down and pull out these old relics and have a lot of fun on the point’, said Rastovich, before giving a nod to the next generation. ‘I want to thank Dirk for shaping the incredible board. He’s like a second dad to me and one of the legends of the culture. Looking at the board, wow, what an absolute gem!’

Rasta grew up in the area and moved away about ten or

12 years ago. ‘I really miss the headland and the community,’ he said. ‘To come back and see the amount of grommets here – that semifi nal and fi nal display from the groms was amazing. It’s so great and it’s important to have events like this and to keep inspiring them to do what they’re doing.’

Fittingly, the Burleigh Sin-gle Fin festival culminated on the same day the break was officially recognised by the organisation, National Surfi ng Reserve (NSR).

‘You travel around the world and see that there is only one Burleigh and this is a place to protect. Everyone here is do-ing a great job and has the re-sponsibility to continue to help preserve and protect the area’, said Rastovich.

An incredible collection of vintage single-fin surfboards were on display across the weekend; sourced from the Gold Coast’s Surf World muse-um and various private collec-tions. Contestants either rode their own boards, or shared their equipment with others.

Former world number two and Newcastle transplant, Luke

Egan, rode a board his dad, Sam, shaped in 1978. Egan dis-covered the board and bought it at auction 15 years ago.

Billabong’s Shannon North took to the waves on a very special model – the actual craft that pioneering Gold Coast surfer Joe Engel rode in the seminal fi lm Storm Riders, which was released in 1982 and featured Engel surfi ng a new discovery – the perfect right-hand break of Nias, located in North Sumatra.

Another popular model was a six-channel model shaped by legendary Novocastrian, Col Smith, for his son Rique.

In all, dozens of boards lay strewn on the grass for people to pick up and check out – a tactile representation of surf-ing’s design evolution and the pioneers who rode them.

‘Because of the boards and the way they perform, it forces everyone to slow down and focus more on the wave’, said Rasta. ‘It becomes less about high-performance, technical surfi ng. And it’s so great to see some of the young kids riding these boards; there’re junior surfers riding equipment that is three times their own age.’

It’s the 16th year the event has run, and it maintains a vibe and authenticity like no other. ‘People come up and say, this event is big enough to have grandstands and I go, “Nup, we want to keep it retro, old-school”; we don’t want that crap, we want to keep it like it is,’ said Burleigh Boardriders president Edward Lindores. ‘Everyone enjoy-ing themselves, looking over each other’s shoulders, cruis-ing on the grass. That’s why it’s such a good event. People get close, they talk, they hang out – friends, family – we don’t want infrastructure. We do it for the community of Burleigh – brothers, sisters, friends, mums, dads, grommets, cats, dogs, that’s what we want.’

It was all about Byron Shire locals as brothers in surf and sounds, Ash Grunwald and event win-ner Dave Rastovich spent the morning on the waves and the afternoon entertaining the crowds with some tunes at Saturday’s Single Fin opener. Photo Tree Faerie.

Renovating your home is an important investmentFor most people a home is much more than a place to live – it’s a long-term investment. Your renovation decisions will have important consequences for your future living costs and quality of life, so you want to get it right.

Times are changing rapidly and new issues need to be factored into smart investment decisions. Th is is sometimes called ‘future proofi ng’ – making sure your investment will hold its value over time.

When you’re planning your renovation it’s easy to focus on the short term, ‘What can I aff ord right now?’ But when you think about it, features that enhance resale value, improve comfort and reduce bills are worth paying a little bit more for now.

You can use savings on energy and water bills to pay off your mortgage faster.

Some financiers offer lower interest rates (known as ‘green’ mortgages) or other fi nancial incentives for home improvements that are designed to save precious resources like energy and water.

Government rebates are also available to off set the purchase cost of many energy and water-saving items.

PLAN AHEADGood planning is such an important part of ensuring

value for money. Most renovation budget overruns are the result of poor planning – changing the design halfway through, trying to fi x up problems you didn’t see coming, or simply failing to make the most of the opportunities presented.

Experienced renovators will tell you how important it is to plan ahead.

Write a wishlist of everything you want from your renovation. Th is can include qualities such as ‘light and airy’ as well as more specifi c outcomes such as extra living space, an effi cient hot-water system or a more functional kitchen.

At the same time, take stock of what you’ve got – this step is so important for making the most of your renovation.

An assessment of your home will identify the most cost-eff ective opportunities for big improvements. It will also identify potential hazards so you can deal with them in the most cost-eff ective way.

Use what you fi nd to develop and refi ne your wishlist.

SAVE MONEYLook around for opportunities to save money.

Do you really need to extend out or up, or do you just need to re-design your interiors for better use of space?

If you plan to demolish sections of the house, are there building materials like windows, doors, fl oorboards or interior fi ttings that you can reuse elsewhere, sell or even give away?

Look for opportunities to lock in ongoing cost savings too! To save on energy and water bills, fi nd out where you’re using more than you need to – check your current bills or visit the NABERS website http://www.nabers.gov.au.

In some locations there are companies who can come to your home and do a professional water and energy assessment to identify the best ways for you to save on bills. As well as saving money you’ll be helping the environment.

IMPROVE COMFORTMake a note of rooms that are too hot or too cold at diff erent

times. A few simple design improvements could make the world of diff erence to your comfort. If you use a lot of heating or

cooling to stay comfortable, your renovation is a chance to ensure lifetime savings on bills.

Take the opportunity to insulate walls and double glaze windows. Many older homes are draughty. Add draughtproofing strips to doors and windows and check that new windows and doors have good seals. Fit dampers to chimneys and fl ues to block air leaks.

Now’s your chance to fi x up problems like dust, damp and mould.

Look for opportunities to make your home safer and easier to move around in for occupants and visitors of all

ages and abilities.

BE PREPAREDIf you see warning signs that may indicate structural

problems or other hazards, seek professional advice from an architect, engineer or builder. Signs could include:

Pre-1970s homes are likely to have lead-based paint so if you’re removing it follow the advice in the six-step guide to painting your home (www.environment.gov.au).

Homes built pre-1990 may contain asbestos. It’s commonly found under eaves, but may also be found as roofi ng, wall linings and cladding.

If you suspect you have asbestos contact your local council or state health and environment authorities for

more information. Removal is not always recommended, but if it is removed, it needs to be done by a specialist. Asbestos removal contractors are listed in the Yellow Pages www.yellowpages.com.au.

Th e infl ux of revellers – and the subspecies, dickheads – to the Bay for NYE excites comment, some of which can be seen in the letters pages. Sharon Shostak’s summing-up of the aspirations, dreams and tom-foolery can be seen on Echo-netvideo at www.youtube.com/user/echonetvideo.

Further to our Backlash last week about hoon trouble at South Golden Beach, another resident reports: ‘We had our hoon problems over the “fes-tive” season in Sunrise as well. Why these morons think it’s clever to fl oor their ridiculous-ly overpowered penis-exten-sions in a residential suburb is anyone’s guess. We have chil-dren, pram-pushers, cyclists, pets and all sorts enjoying the streets outside their homes. It only takes a split second to lose control and ruin lives – and control is obviously not in abundance with this pond-life. I’m unconcerned for the pond-life but the damage they risk to innocent others is unaccept-able. Why they are allowed to have these vehicles on public roads bewilders me.’

If you get a call from someone calling himself Shane Warne, albeit with an Indian accent, purporting to be from the Aus-tralian Banking Corporation, hang up. Don’t engage him in frivolous banter, as he tends to get off ended at not being taken seriously and makes repeated threatening calls. If your phone identifi es his number, report him to police.

Federal families minister Jenny Macklin certainly set off the fi reworks with her off -the-cuff ‘yes’ when a reporter asked if she could live on the dole – around $35 a day – and inspired websites such as www.facebook.com/CMon-JennyMacklinShowUsHowY-ouWillLiveOn248AWeek. As SMH pointed out, Ms Mack-

lin as a cabinet minister earns $6,321 a week, 25 times the rate of Newstart. Backlash reck-ons it should be compulsory for all MPs to spend a couple of weeks on the dole so they understand what their legisla-tion is imposing on those at the tough end of free-market capitalism.

According to website Media Matters, ‘In contrast to offi cial temperature records showing a consistent warming trend, Fox Business reporters have claimed that the “temperature basically hasn’t changed much since the ice age” and that it’s actually “getting colder.” Fox News figures have also de-nied the scientifi c consensus that human activity is driving climate change, claiming that carbon dioxide “literally can-not cause global warming” and

suggesting that “Mars wobbles” or “wind farms” may be caus-ing it instead.’ You can read the ‘10 Dumbest Things Fox Said About Climate Change In 2012’ at http://bit.ly/YuFtEW. Some of the video grabs are simultaneously hilarious and alarming.

If you snuggle up with a furry friend in bed, you’re not alone, according to ABC Science. Its Big Sleep Survey of over 12,000 people reveals that around a quarter of the people who took part shared their bed with a pet. Most of us have encoun-tered some sort of animal in bed at some stage or another. See the survey results at http://www.sleepsurvey.net.au/index.php.

A teary-eyed US house speaker John Boehner apologised to the wealthiest 1.5 per cent af-ter he failed to maintain their huge tax breaks, The Borowitz Report posted this week. ‘Th e

house speaker said that he had spoken to several members of the top 1.5 per cent who were “understandably despond-ent” over seeing their taxes rise marginally as a result of the deal: “Some of them were so upset they even considered moving to Canada, until they found out the taxes were high-er there.”’

Less fashionable among authors these days is Al-bert Camus (1913–1960) but thankfully the Albert Camus Society (www.camus-society.com) helps keep his work and life in view. Who can go past the work of a man who wrote ‘You know what charm is: a way of getting the answer yes without having asked any clear question’ or ‘Nobody realis-es that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal’? And along with fellow novelist Vladimir Nabokov, he was a top-notch goalkeeper.

With summer comes the Annual Migration of the Trolley (Currus obsonium). These shy, tentative creatures fi nd their way from nesting sites in parking lots to the wilds of our beaches or suburbs, there spawning rubbish and dying. They are preyed upon by young revellers during their hazardous journey but their proliferation means they are not yet an endangered species.
