Next Issue: 4th May then: 1st June and: 6th July

The annual International Women’s Day celebrations held on Tuesday 13th March at the school of Arts

and hosted by Snowy Monaro Regional Council was a successful day, with interesting guest speakers.

It was beautifully catered for by the Delegate School of Arts Committee and IGA Bombala, with décor

also done by the School of Arts Committee. The day kicked off with a delicious morning tea, stalls and

time to mingle. Council’s Community Development planner started the formalities with an acknowl-

edgment of the Traditional Custodians of the Land, the Ngarigo people, and some information about

gender equity here in Australia. Council’s Economic Development Officer Karen Cash, then provided

attendees with an update on Council’s community and economic development activities. She spoke

about the potential growth of the Dongwha mill, the potential for tourism growth, citing both the Bundi-

an Way and the Errinundra rain forest and an important dialogue about the areas priorities emerged. It

was agreed that maps of this area are inadequate and it is essential that a free tourist map encompassing

Delegate and the adjacent border area be developed. Libby Smith from Dementia Australia provided

statistics about dementia, which is the leading cause of death for women Australia. She discussed symp-

toms and spoke at length about ways to maintain a healthy brain. She discussed four key areas for a

healthy brain and information pamphlets were available covering information on all aspects of demen-

tia. Lunch was followed by the Guest Speaker, our well known resident artist Lucy Culliton who spoke

about falling in love with Southern Monaro at a very early age, forging her own path and following her

career as an artist, where she has attained great success, being selected as a finalist for the Archibald

Prize and winning Wynne and Sulman Prizes In her frank and humerous manner Lucy spoke of her

trials as the owner of Bibbenluke Lodge, which she has lovingly restored and where she is surrounded

by her menagerie of furred and feathered animals. Two Delegate people receiving awards are newcom-

ers to the area who have involved themselves in local activities, both volunteering at the Rural Transac-

tion Centre. Toni McLeish who has taken over the role of Secretary of the Delegate Progress Associa-

tion and Nicole Mellon who is now the librarian at the ever expanding library at that Centre. Robin

Guthrie who is now the President of the Delegate Progress Association received an award for her in-

volvement with the Early Settlers Hut Committee, Delegate Sportsground Management Committee, and

Delegate P&A Society. Others to receive awards were Sherie Reed from Bombala, Melissa Sass, Shan-

non Payten-McDonald, Barbara Daley. Below: Lucy Culliton, Hospital Auxiliary ladies, Doreen Stand-

SUNDAY SIPPERS SUPPORT TATHRA BUSHFIRE

RELIEF

The Sunday Sips group have hired a bus to travel to The Sap-

phire Coast Turf Club on 26th May where there will be a day

of entertainment to raise funds in support of the bushfire relief

for Tathra.

Tickets are $20 for members and $35 for non-members.

Thursday 3 May 9am-4pm at Corrowong Fire Shed & Byadbo Wilderness Area (about 25km from Delegate)

Presented by Corrowong Wallendibby Landcare Group This training is part of the project “Intergrated Weed Management for Production and Biodiversity”,

supported by South East Local Land Services and funded by the Australian Government‘s National

Landcare Programme, through the Community, Industry and Landscapes Fund.

The training will be provided by Barry Sampson who has 30 years experience in Biological Control of

Weeds with NSW Agriculture, CSIRO and other bodies. Training will show how to use control agents

on weeds such as Patersons Curse/ Vipers Bugloss, Bridal Creeper, St. John's Wort, Blackberry, Docks,

Thistles, Horehound, Prickly Pear and Aquatic Weeds like Salvinia and Water Hyacinth. Biological

agents include weevils, moths, mites, beetles and rusts. Larvae and adults feed on the crown, leaves and

roots of these weeds, leading to the death of the plant or reducing seed production. Biological control

aims to make weed control more manageable and cost effective and is ideal in hilly terrain where other

control methods are expensive or unsafe.

Barry Sampson says, “Biological control is all about working with nature and that it can help farmers

and land managers reduce their chemical use on weeds and that the key to sustainable weed management

is an integrated program using biological, mechanical and chemical control.” This approach is

fundamental to the Integrated Weed Management for Production and Biodiversity Project.

Principles of Biological Weed Control Understanding how biocontrol fits in as part of an integrated weed management program

The life cycle of control agents and weeds

Types of control agents available and the conditions needed for a successful biocontrol program

Identifying control agents that are already in the field

Paddock walk in Byadbo Wilderness Area Overview of weed management challenges and weed management plant in Bydabo Wilderness Area

Identifying weeds and control agents

How and where to release control agents

Release of control agents if a suitable site and host weed is found

Access will require 4wd vehicles which can be shared on the day

More information on biological weed control can be found at Barry Sampson’s website http://

DELEGATE CAMPDRAFT

The Delegate Campdraft was held over the weekend of 9th, 10th & 11th March in extremely hot and dry conditions. With record entries and a limited amount of daylight hours, it was necessary to restrict the Sunday Novice to Novice horses only, with a total of 860 runs for the weekend.

Campdrafting commenced on Friday afternoon with the Encouragement Draft, with Billy Elliott taking both first place on “Bert” and second on “Indy”. Billy also received a boot voucher from Harold Boot Co. This was followed by the Ladies event, which was won by Shana McLean and “Ollie” with Ella Williams and “Hideaway” in second place. Shana also received a boot voucher from Harold Boot Co. Drafting finished about 5pm, giving the riders plenty of time to enjoy the soup & BBQ tea and to catch up with old friends at the Bar.

Saturday dawned with a thick fog making for a slow start to proceedings, but eventually cleared to an-other hot, sunny day. First up was the Novice Draft with 220 runs; Steve Hart & “Miss Tat” being the eventual winners, with Paul Spears on “Electric Acres” second.

The Maiden Draft was next, also won by Steve Hart & “Missioni” closely followed by Matthew Whipp & “Chives” and Jade French & “Suspect” equal second. The second Maiden was won by Lachie Sim & “Enchanted Acres” with Mick Otton & “Snook” taking second place. The traditional Saturday night dinner provided by our hard working ladies, with the very welcome help of the Delegate Hospital Auxil-iary and local Community members, was then enjoyed by the tired competitors.

Sunday dawned clear and quite cool for a while, commencing with the Open Draft. This event was won by Troy Madden & “Acres of Action”, closely followed by local rider Bill Peadon & “Ruby” second. Next was the Junior Draft, once again sponsored by Frank Coonan of Canberra. Tom Whyman & “Black Betty” were the winners, with Tom also receiving a boot voucher from Harold Boot Co. Second place went to Anneka Miners & “Blondie”.

The Juvenile Draft, once again sponsored by Ron Flanagan of Bonang, was won by Shana McLean & “Ollie” with local rider Jack Ventry & “Black Betty” coming second. The Sunday Novice followed with Danielle Ternes & “Pink Lady” first and Danny Brabon & “Cold Play” second. The Sunday Open was the final event, this being won by Matt French & “Comic” and Steve Hart & “Sequel” second. Drafting finished about 4 pm on Sunday after a very successful weekend.

Our sincere thanks to Norm Talbot and his drivers for once again making his trucks available for trans-porting cattle for the Draft. Also to Yvonne and Vernon for First Aid and to Jenny Caldwell and Kerry Payten for their support. To the ladies in the Secretaries Office, your assistance was very much appreci-ated. To Jodi Jones, Sandra Walker & Dalys Whipp who helped in an emergency, thank you! To the Delegate Hospital Auxiliary, Delegate Pony Club, Delegate Public School & Pre school, St. Joseph’s School, Catholic Church ladies and the Delegate Community in general, a huge thank you for your do-nations and assistance with the catering. This is a huge job and could not be done without your help. To Nerida & Lucy, once again thank you for running the bar all weekend.

And last but not least, a big thank you to our hard working Committee and Community members who helped with droving cattle to and from the event and to the yard men and women who worked in the dust and heat all weekend to make things run smoothly.

DRAFT HERITAGE REPORT

We have received and read a copy of the draft Heritage report for Delegate, making a

few small corrections such as spelling of names. Pip Giovenalli, Heritage Adviser and

Brendon O’Keefe Historian again spent time in the area on 22nd, 23rd and 24th March.

This time they visited some heritage sites near Delegate and the next day were given a

tour by President of the Historical Society, Stuart Hood of further properties in the

Bombala area. The final report should be available in the not too distant future. Both Pip and Brendon have been impressed by historic homes on farming properties

which have been lovingly maintained, something which he says is not seen as much in

cities, where there is not the history of properties staying for generations in the one fam-

ily.

Brendon has also found records in NSW Archives of very early ownership in the Dele-

gate township and these notes appeared on the draft report.

Pip said he would like to see tree plantings in the main street of Delegate and this is

something fairly high on the priorities listed on the public survey recently conducted.

Another meeting with Linda Nichols, the person in charge of the Streetscape project and

we are hoping to receive some clarity regarding plans and funding.

Happy 90th Birthday, Natalie,

April 3rd saw Natalie Armstrong, a long -

90th birthday, best wishes go to her from all

her friends. Over the years Nat was kept busy

working at Dalgetys' and then Delegate Hospi-

tal in the clerical department, she also was in-

volved in the Hospital Auxiliary. Delegate

Progress Association was formed and Nat was

there, being one of the foundation members

when Delegate won two Tidy Town

Awards 1995/ 1996 and when the Federa-

tion Walk was developed, the RTC/ CTC,

another project, was set up in 2002 and I

might add she has been Volunteering at

the latter since it opened. She is one of the

main people behind the 'Delegate Doings'

our monthly local paper and has been in-

volved in both Snowy March events and the

book she wrote "The Men from Snowy

River" helped f inance the Centenary

2016 re – enactment march to Sydney.

The ladies of Nat's Tuesday exercise class

called in to the café for a coffee and birthday

cake after their walk this week to help her

celebrate and we are going to continue

illness, of local resident Jan

Lang. Born Janette Mary

Jacques at Tallem Bend, South

Australia on 12th June, 1943,

Jan moved to the Bom-

bala/Delegate area some years

ago. During this time she was a

member of the Delegate Hospital

Auxiliary and the Bendoc Pro-

gress Association.

Around 70 District seniors were

treated to a day out at the Bom-

bala RSL on Wednesday 3rd

April. A lovely lunch was fol-

lowed by entertainment by a

number of local artists. Delegate

was well represented with a

number going by the Bendoc bus

and some by private car. The

day was made possible Mrs Glad

Hurley, who has fund raised for

Seniors week for many years.

Those present signed a big

thankyou card for her.

The area around Bill Jeffreys

Park has been transformed with

Council workers clearing away

the long grass on and around the

island. The present buildings

have had a new roof installed,

and with plans for a new kitchen

for campers and refurbishment

of the amenities block the place

will have a whole new look. It is

already a popular place for

campers and we can look for-

ward to more and more visitors

in the future.

The big dry has continued with

dams and creeks drying up. The

beautiful autumn weather contin-

ues, but rain is badly needed.

Local rivers are also very low.

The Sunday Sippers invite you

to join them on the 26th May ro

attend a fund raising event for

the Tathra Bushfires relief. They

have hired a bus for the trip to

the Sapphire Coast Turf Club for

a day of entertainment.

Try your singing voice out at the

Delegate Pub on 14th. April,

when Graeme will be

holding a Karaoke

night. Always good

fun even if the next

The Voice winner is

not found.

New seats have been installed at

the Delegate Showground. They

were supplied by the Shire

Council as part of a Communi-

ties Grans and installed by mem-

bers of the Show and Sports

Ground committees.

Preventing Falls Promoting ‘LiFE’ in Delegate

Are you over 60 and concerned about your balance? Have you tripped or fallen over in the past

year or are you worried about falling? Perhaps you are finding it harder to get out of a chair than

you used to? LiFE might be the program for you.

LiFE is a free program which teaches you to incorporate some simple leg strengthening and bal-

ance activities into your daily tasks and routines. These activities have been shown to reduce the

risk of falling. The program runs for 1 hour each week for 5 weeks and each participant also has

an individual appointment at the start and finish of the program.

When: Mondays 1-2pm starting April 23rd 2018

Where: Delegate School of Arts

What: Free 7 week falls prevention exercise program

Who: People aged 60+, living at home, able to walk independently (with or

without a walking aid), not diagnosed with dementia

Kate Greenwood, a Health Promotion Officer with Grand Pacific Health, has run successful pro-

grams in Jindabyne, Bombala and Berridale during 2017 and is looking forward to delivering LiFE

in Nimmitabel:

“One in three people aged over 65 fall over at least once per year and falls put more seniors in

hospital than any other cause, so there is a real need for programs like this,” said Kate.

“What makes LiFE different from other programs is that people do not have to set aside special

“exercise” time each day, something that many of us find difficult to do. Instead, LiFE activities

are done throughout the day, such as when washing dishes, hanging out washing or cleaning our

teeth.”

The LiFE program is being conducted by Grand Pacific Health. A doctor’s referral is not required.

If you are interested, or want to know if this program suits you, call Kate Greenwood on 0448

968 972 or email kgreenwood@gph.org.au.

Wangganga (women in Dhurga language) is the new Autumn exhibition at the Bundian Way Gallery in

Delegate. The exhibition features artworks by the Koori Women’s Group in Mogo which provides a

space for Aboriginal women or women with Aboriginal families of all ages, to come together and talk

about their social & emotional health and wellbeing. While creating their art, the women share stories

about family from birth to aged care, financial and other issues that affect women on a day-to-day basis.

Jodie Rose-Cotter from NSW Health coordinates the group and believes it provides a valuable oppor-

tunity for the women. “They share traditional knowledge and over time have developed a strong support

network”, she explained. “We also have health, employment and education support workers to facilitate

the group that can help with any questions or referrals to other services”.

One of the women, Alice McKenzie, has considerable experience as a visual artist. “I originally studied

art at the Petersham TAFE in Sydney and was an art teacher at Newtown Primary School for 10 years

prior to moving to Mogo. I use aboriginal totems as my inspiration”.

Other artists in the exhibition include Sonia Scott, Kizzy Nye, Sherrie Nye, Sandra Ellis and Jodie Rose-

Cotter. The Koori Women’s Group in Mogo meet every Friday to practice Aboriginal traditional art and

craft therapy. You can follow their activities on the Facebook page Wangganga Aboriginal Art Exhibi-

tion.

The Bundian Way Art Gallery, located in the historic old bank building in Delegate, has housed many

exhibitions since it was officially launched in December 2012. The gallery was established as part of

the Bundian Way project – the Bundian Way is a

shared history pathway between Targangal

(Kosciuszko) and Bilgalera (Fisheries Beach)

that connects the highest part of the Australian

continent and the coast.
