SHAMYNKA ROKYLLE
It is nearly a year since the passing of
Shamynka Rokylle, whose paintings
have been exhibited for some time in
the Blue Room of the Augusta CRC.
Shamynka expressed the wish that
her ashes be scattered in the waters
off Cape Leeuwin. Friends, along
with members of the public, are
advised that an informal ceremony,
in memory of Shamynka, will be
held at Lighthouse Bay on Friday 8th
November at 4.00pm.

The Augusta Margaret River Tourism Association (AMRTA) has initiated and
constructed two huge new banners in Karridale, to attract visitors to Augusta and
surrounding areas.
Showcasing stunning images of Augusta and Cape Leeuwin, the banners have
been placed on the old service station building on the north-east corner of the
highway at the intersection of Brockman and Bussell Highways.
One banner is targeted at traffic coming from Margaret River, and the other faces
traffic approaching from Brockman Highway. The key message on the banners
is “Experience Amazing Augusta – only 10 minutes away”.
AMRTA Chief Executive Officer Pip Close said that the
banners, initiated by the AMRTA’s Brand Manager Simon
Latchford, were a fantastic idea. “The Karridale intersection
is an important point at which visitors make the decision
to either head to Augusta, Margaret River or in an easterly
direction to Pemberton or Nannup,” said Ms Close. “We
wanted to give visitors a visual display of how beautiful
Augusta is and the range of experiences available if they just
head 10 minutes down the road.”
“Augusta and Cape Leeuwin are spectacular destinations and
it’s imperative to remind people of that – the banners help to
prompt the driver to just make that short detour if they hadn’t
planned to visit already,” said Ms Close.
Local business owner and Augusta resident Eion Lindsay
said he was delighted with the AMRTA’s initiative. “The
banners are a great invitation to all – we are really pleased
with the AMRTA’s efforts to show off the area in and around
Augusta,” said Mr Lindsay. “It’s a prominent intersection and
we really expect the banners to make a significant difference
by encouraging visitors to just pop down and check out
beautiful Augusta, which is only 10 minutes away.”
The AMRTA operates Augusta and Margaret River Visitor
Centres, as well as Jewel, Lake, Mammoth and Moondyne
Caves and the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. The AMRTA is a
self-funded, not-for-profit, membership based association.

ARGUABLY AUGUSTA’S FIRST CALENDAR
There’s been a fair bit of talk over the
years that Augusta should have its own
locally produced calendar ... and it’s
happened!
Jan Gathe’s Augusta’s Calendar 2014
was recently launched at a lunchtime
function held at the Lions Blackwood
Avenue bookshop.
Although the date notations include the
mandatory public and school holidays,
the calendar has a distinct focus on the
local, including occasions like the River
Festival, Whale Song, International
Lighthouse Weekend, Spring Show
– even the dates for the regular Town
Markets are noted.
Thirteen
whimsical
watercolour
paintings (including the cover image
pictured below) depict some of the
iconic and much loved locations in and
around Augusta.
On each page of Augusta’s Calendar
2014, a concise history of the town
is listed with the arrival of the first
settlers in 1830 right up to the recent
installation of the Wall of Faces.
In the meantime,
Leeuwin
Lions
are pleased that
the bookshop has
taken on this new
persona; a venue
for
publication
launchings,
a
meeting place and
perhaps in the
future - an artists’
workshop.
Jan Gathe launches the calendar at the Lions Bookshop
The deadline for
submissions to
the Pelican Post
is the 25th of
each month. Late
submissions will
not be accepted.

To end Bushfire Action Week a Bushfire
Ready Street Meet was held at the Augusta
Community Resource Centre on Sunday
27th. The event was well attended by
local Volunteer Bushfire fighters, Augusta
Fire & Rescue and Street Coordinators.
Unfortunately the number of community
members who attended this year’s event
was below expectations.
From the attendance, we can only assume
that the community of Augusta and
Districts is well prepared for the bush fire
season in that they already have a bushfire
survival plan, have prepared an emergency
kit and understand emergency warnings
and bushfire alerts. This is great news!
If you are among those who are unsure
on any of the above, please do not
hesitate to contact your local BushFire
Ready Facilitator, Georgina Thiele on
0417998461
Street coordinators, fire-fighters and the
acting chief Fire Control Officer spoke
to those community members who did
attend. They were instructed on preparing
their properties, themselves their families
and their pets.
Fire crews were able to network and
discuss additional tools to assist them with
fire fighting and improving safety for firefighters.
Three vehicles were on site, Molloy
Islands 2.4, Karridale’s Light Tanker and
the Augusta Fire & Rescue truck which
provided locals with a closer look at the
size of these vehicles. They could then
better assess the suitability and access to
their properties.
Local businesses supported this event
by donating food and drinks and we are
very grateful for their support. Thank you
to Augusta Bakery, Augusta Butchers,
Augusta IGA and the Augusta CRC for
your generosity and support.

Think Fast to Fight Stroke
By John Bell
Earlier this year, statistics released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare showed that, over
the past 30 years, deaths from stroke have reduced by around 70%. That’s the good news; but the
news is not all good. Whilst death rates have fallen, the actual number of strokes has risen.
This year Australians will suffer more than 60,000 new and recurrent strokes – that’s one stroke every
10 minutes. Statistics indicate that one in five people having a first ever stroke will die within a month
and one in three die within a year. There is a stroke death in Australia every hour.
Yet, early action can save many of these lives.
A stroke (also occasionally called a cerebrovascular accident) is the death of brain tissue resulting from
lack of blood flow and insufficient oxygen to the brain. Another type of stroke (a cerebral haemorrhage)
is caused by bleeding into brain tissue.
The signs of stroke could be any one or combination of the following: weakness or numbness, or
paralysis – in the face, arm or leg; difficulty speaking or understanding; dizziness; sudden loss of
vision; difficulty swallowing or sudden and severe headache. These signs may last only a few minutes
or may last for several hours and then disappear; but they are often a warning of an impending stroke
and must never be ignored.
Stroke is a medical emergency. If you experience the signs of stroke or see them in someone else,
seek immediate medical attention. Prompt action can prevent further damage to the brain and help
make a better recovery.
During the recent National Stroke Week the message coming from the Stroke Foundation was to
think FAST. Using the FAST test involves asking yourself three simple questions about the person you
suspect might be in danger – and then acting quickly:
•
FACE – check their face, has the mouth drooped?
•
ARMS – can they lift both arms?
•
SPEECH – is their speech slurred? Do they understand you?
•
TIME – time is critical. If you see any of the above signs, call 000 immediately.
The risk of stroke is influenced by a number of factors: as we get older the risk is greater; men suffer
stroke more often than women; and family history of stroke puts us more at risk. There’s not much we
can do about these issues. However, there are some simple lifestyle changes we can make which will
reduce the risk of stroke and reduce the risk of heart disease, as well.
High blood pressure and high blood cholesterol levels are a major contributing factor to blood vessel
disease which often leads to stroke. Blood pressure and cholesterol levels can be managed; sometimes
just by sensible attention to diet and exercise; and sometimes by the regular, and usually long term,
use of medicines.
If you do need medicines to lower your blood pressure, the possibility is that they will need to be taken
forever. Sometimes that is difficult to accept; especially when, in all likelihood, there are no noticeable
symptoms of the blood pressure being raised. In fact, occasionally the medicines themselves have
unwanted effects. They may make you feel drowsy, dizzy or nauseated. If side effects with your blood
pressure medicines do occur, you should tell your doctor and pharmacist.
There are several other factors, too, which make stroke more likely – smoking, being overweight,
having uncontrolled diabetes or having an irregular pulse (known as atrial fibrillation or AF).

Invitation To River
Report Launch
Members of the Augusta community
are invited to the launch of a new report
‘Revisiting the Blackwood River and
Hardy Inlet – 40 years of change’, by
Minister Terry Redman MLA at the
Augusta Hotel on 22 November this
year. There will be a cuppa at 10.00
am and the launch will start at 10.30.
Morning tea will be served following the
launch, enabling everyone to network
and ask questions.
This important review has been
produced by the Ernest Hodgkin Trust
for Estuary Education and Research
to celebrate the work and inspiration
of Ernest Pearse Hodgkin (1908 –
1998), nearly 40 years after the first
comprehensive study of an estuary and
its catchments, the Blackwood Hardy in
1974 – 1975.
The report of this seminal study was
published in 1978 and became the
blueprint for all of the following estuary
and catchment studies, including the
world renowned work on the Peel Harvey
system, which led to construction of the
Dawesville Channel in 1996.
Revisiting the Blackwood River and
Hardy Inlet brings together most of the
research and management actions that
have been done since the first study, to
show how the estuary has responded
to the changes that have occurred. It
complements more recent work by the
Government through the Department
of Water in preparing Water Quality
Improvement Plans for the Scott and
Blackwood Rivers.
The review covers the history from
the 1970s, a detailed description of the
larger catchments and their influence,
the physical and biological aspects of
the estuary and finishes with an epilogue
looking to future management of this
precious and beautiful waterway.
Please contact me if I can assist you, your
family, or your community group in any way
Anne Brearley, the author, will
summarise the review as part of the
launch and she and others involved
in the studies over the years will be
available to answer questions during
morning tea.

Wildflower Rainbows
The wild weather of the last month has been brightened by
some beautiful rainbows arching across Augusta’s sky. And
at last the wildflowers are starting to make the bush more
colourful too.
The PURPLE of Native Wisteria (Hardenbergia comptoniana)
and four species of Hovea was the first colour to herald spring.
This was closely followed by the WHITE of Old Man’s Beard
(Clematis aristata) which together with the Wisteria made a
spectacular display as they scrambled over shrubs and trees.
Then the YELLOW of seven species of Guinea Flower
really brightened the bush. The best known of these; the most
common and with the longest flowering period is the Yellow
Buttercup (Hibbertia hypericoides). But the brightest yellow
is that of another favourite - The Prickly Moses (Acacia
pulchella) which is just starting to flower, its fluffy balls
somewhat battered by the rain. nine other species of wattle are
also in flower.
The cheerful ORANGES and REDS mainly come from the
sixteen species of Peas flowering at this time of the year. Most
are shrubs; two are ground creepers and two are climbers. The
Coral Vine (Kennedia coccinea) is probably the best known
because its many heads of flamboyantly coloured flowers
enliven the vegetation of our dunes, woodlands and forests.
In contrast the other climber, the Augusta Kennedia (K.lateritia)
which has even larger heads of flowers is very rare. It grows
naturally in only two locations; one near the boat harbour; the
other in town.
The very first PINK flowers are now adding this pigment
to the bush palette: Pepper and Salt (Philotheca spicata)
Rose Banjine (Pimelea rosea), 5 species of Thomasia and 6
species of Boronia. Along the coast the large-flowered Pigface
(Carpobrotus virescens) are starting to open, as are the much
smaller-flowered Pimelea ferruginea. Though the individual
all bright pink flowers are small there are many per head and
many heads per plant extending as far north as Dongara and
as far east as Israelite Bay. The beauty and resilience of plants
growing in such harsh environments is truly remarkable.
BLUE is the one colour that has not as yet had much of
a showing - either in the sky or the bush. Two very small
flowered herbs - the Blue Squill (Chamaescilla corymbosa)
and Blind Grass (Stypandra
glauca) can occasionally be
seen. The Australian Bluebell
(Sollya heterophylla) may be in
flower but it is not always blue!
The best blue is that of the
Morning Iris (Orthrosanthus
polystachyus) which flowers
from late spring to early
summer. They are a beautiful
sky-blue; something most
Augustans are looking forward
to seeing after this very wet,
very grey-skied winter!

points by Kent Kingdon on Friday 18th.
Winners so far:- Jim Swarbrick, Trevor Rogers, Brian

Local Rule; 3. If after taking a preferred lie on the fairway
being played, the ball moves and the player is not deemed
to have caused the ball to move, then the ball must be
played from its new position even if this position is nearer
the hole.
4. If after a preferred lie is taken the ball moves and the
player is responsible for the ball moving, then under penalty
of one stroke the player must replace the ball in its original
preferred position. If it is not replaced, then a penalty of
two strokes is applicable.

CHOOSE THE WINNER
Yes. Every punter hopes to do just
that on Melbourne Cup Day. There is
always great joy for those who back
the right horse but only grief for many
more who fail to choose the winner.
And there’s only one winner.
By Anthony Shaffer
Presented by
Every horse will strive to win but
only one will take the lead and
win. Sometimes that horse is a rank
outsider with just a few hopefuls
backing it as a winner.
That’s how it was when Jesus Christ
became the greatest winner of all
time. Very few people recognised
who he was. Only a handful saw his
potential but someone did. No one
recognised him as a sure thing, a cert,
a winner who would be first home,
except one. That one knew he would
not lose the race. That one was God
the Father and Jesus of Nazareth his
Son and our Saviour, was the one who
had his backing.
Jesus Christ, living Lord, is definitely
a cert, a sure thing for any one who
is finding it hard to be a winner. Let
him into your life, let him lead you in
the right places and then follow in his
footsteps. You will never be a loser,
only a winner.

He is the ultimate winner. The
trophy is not a shiny yellow cup but
something much more glorious. He
offers eternal life in his Father’s
kingdom to all those who follow him.
When he rose from the grave he was
first past the winning post. God chose
the winner.
Jesus Christ invites all of us to share
in the great race. Don’t miss out.
The prize is big enough for all and all
who accept his invitation have chosen
their winner.

Lions Peace Poster Winners
Selected
The annual Leeuwin Lions international
Peace Poster competition attracted a
total of 36 entries from the Augusta
and Karridale Primary Schools, setting
a strong challenge for the Lions fiveperson judging panel.
However, after detailed deliberations
the panel selected the best posters as
follows: Karridale - 1st Phoebe Hirsch,
2nd Indii-Rose Doyle, 3rd Kiara
Hopper. Augusta - 1st Lachlan Rees,
2nd Matthew Repacholi, 3rd Brooke
Nelson.
Augusta poster result: (L to R) Brooke Nelson 3rd, Lachlan Rees 1st,
teacher Di Littlewood, Matthew Repacholi 2nd.
The top six posters were displayed at
a major Lions Convention attended
by more than 200 delegates held at
Margaret River over the October 26/27
weekend.
At the Karridale presentation the school
principal, Fiona Cormack paid tribute
to the financial assistance provided by
the Lions for school projects and said
the students enjoyed the challenge of
producing peace posters on the subject
of Our World, Our Future.
At Augusta Primary the Year 6/7
teacher Dianne Littlewood thanked the
Lions for their involvement and regular
support. She said this year the students
had the example of Alfie Constant, the
Augusta student whose peace poster
last year was judged as one of the top
six in Australia.
Lions club youth committee chairman
Don Hosken said the peace poster
competition had generated great
interest with 19 entries from Augusta
school and 17 from Karridale.
He said special care was taken to ensure
that the judges did not know the names
of the students submitting posters until
the judging was completed.

regarding the quality of work for
sale, that being demonstrated and the

On the 4th October, club members
enjoyed a fun and informative
presentation by Bev Schroder’s
daughter Sandie, an artist who works
for Art Scene, an art supply wholesaler.
The presentation covered the many
products which enhance acrylic
paints, and members went away with
lots of information about the exciting
possibilities of using various mediums
to add effects, texture, iridescence,
glaze, and also photo transfer onto
canvas.
Sandie returned on Open Day

November 2013
Despite the recent weather, the
calendar tells us it is Spring. Numbers
attending on Tuesdays fluctuate, but
that’s what happens when most are
retired.
Holidays, baby sitting etc, can happen
at any time, and often without a lot of
warning. But the rooms are open for
whoever is around.
Our Club encourages folk to try
different things, share ideas, work
out problems, enjoy the company
of people with similar interests,
and to have a few hours to immerse
themselves in their particular craft.
At the end of October we are having
a visit from ladies from Nannup and
Margaret River. The kettle will be
boiling, the room will be abuzz with
conversations, and we’ll be sharing
ideas, news, and oohing over recently
completed works.
The Moondyne Spinning group has
closed its doors, but we like to meet,
usually twice a year, with our old
friends.
This will be the first time Nannup
ladies have come over for a social day
and we are looking forward to their
visit.
Completed scarves have been returned
to the four members who took part in
the annual scarf exchange. All came
from various parts of Victoria this
year. They’ll be on show at next year’s
Easter exhibition.
The Street markets are a success in
many ways. We have had donations
of wool from people visiting, have
found new members, been able to
show children what happens after the
sheep are shorn, and many men have
watched the wheels to see how they
work!
The markets are also a shop window to
the items we make. Our families can’t
cope with all we make so we need an
outlet!
November 2013
Always at the back of our mind is the
annual Easter exhibition. As soon as
one is over, we need to start preparing
for the next, especially in regards to
the raffle prizes.
These are well in hand for 2014. Easter
next year is in mid April.
Congratulations to the Augusta Garden
Club on their recent Spring Show.
The Arts and Craft room was very
colourful with all the different entries,
and showed how many talented people
live in the area.
Two of our members took out special
awards. Helene Blom with her woven
Christmas table cloth, and Gib Brown
with her trio of carolling penguins.
Other members also did well in the
various sections. Well done to all who
entered. It made a fantastic display
and hopefully will encourage more
entries next year.
Come on children! You make some
fantastic crafts. We’d love to see more
please. We need you to keep the old
crafts going!
Looking forward to seeing you at the
street markets, or you are welcome
to pop into our clubrooms at the
Centennial Hall between 10.30 and
4pm Tuesdays or Thursday evenings
from 7pm.
Our October meeting involved
preparations for the Spring Show.
Thank you to everyone who came to
help with the Show and a big thank
you to Lorraine for the wonderful
job she does in organizing this
special annual event for our Club.
Also thanks to Phyllis for all the
work she puts into the schedule and,
of course, thanks to all the exhibitors.
The Pet Show was fun as usual and
despite the weather we had a good
display of flowers and vegies. Thank
you all.
Our next meeting will be 18th
November, 1.30pm at the Ambulance
Hall.
This will be an ‘at home’ meeting, at
which we will have a Guest Speaker.
As ever, members of the general
public are welcome to attend Garden
Club meetings.
Happy Gardening

Back on Track Thanks to Augusta Mens Shed
Mark Junor has greatly enjoyed rebuilding this model train for Tom Collins. It
was brought in by Tom Collins as a wobbly old broken down toy that was in
drastic need of tender
love and care. Tom's
grand children have
and will continue to
love to play with it
as it is now all shiny
and new thanks to the
Men's Shed for their
wonderful
facility
and to Gordon Junor
and Dean McFaull for
mentoring Mark to
achieve such a neatly
finished final outcome.
Mark is producing two
more similar trains.
If anyone wants to
purchase one for their
grand children contact

SILVER ANNIVERSARY SPRING SHOW REPORT
The 25th Anniversary Spring Show
was celebrated with the participation of
many members who were involved in
the original show, or soon after. They
include Eileen McDonald, Margaret
Martin, May Brandli, May Simmonds,
Mary Ipsen, Phyllis Shephard, Lexie
Elson, Roma Gimbel, Queenie Elliott,
Ven Tinley, John Palmer and June
Carruthers. All these wonderful people
continue to volunteer their time with
great enthusiasm. Their knowledge
and support in making this superb
community event happen is much
appreciated.
Entries were similar to last
year with those for ‘roses’ being higher.
These made a spectacular show on
entering the Hall. Judges and visitors
to our town were very impressed with
the Hall facilities and the displays.
We appreciated the visit of Nola Marino
MP Federal Member for Forrest and
thank her for taking the time to come to
see our Show.
Thanks to the Augusta
Newsagency for distributing schedules
and collecting entries.
The Augusta and Karridale
Primary Schools, as usual, had a
wonderful exhibition of the students’
work. The staff must be thanked for
their time and effort in putting the
displays together.
Thanks to the Leeuwin Lions
for supplying tables and trestles and to
the men who helped in setting up and
dismantling the Hall early on Friday
morning and later on Sunday afternoon.
Your patience is amazing.
The kitchen staff worked
tirelessly all weekend serving delicious
morning and afternoon teas.
The feedback received to date
indicates it was a wonderful show
with attendance numbers up on last
year. Without the stewards and other
volunteers and the hours they put in
over the three days, this would not have
been possible.
Kevin West’s miniature train
display was enjoyed by young and old,
as was the Honey & Bees display set
up by Leonie McFaull, who buzzed
around all weekend. Thank you both
for your time and effort.
November 2013
Our Pet Show was once again
fun for all - with a variety of dogs, a
lamb “dressed” in a tutu and one cat
who managed to survive the afternoon.
Special thanks must go to the Augusta
Vets, Michele and Wayne, for their
time and the prizes they donated.
A very big thank you to
everyone involved. You are all a
pleasure to work with.

now becoming famous for something
that began in a simple way. In 1994 a
resident decided to advertise the Bush
Race by making a tin horse. By the
following year, several local farmers
had built horses to add to the attraction.
The President opened the October
meeting with sixteen members present
and welcomed guest speaker Gary
Ingram.
Ray Repacholi summarised the History
West account of the State History
Conference in Bunbury. Guest speakers
included Professor Steve Hopper and
Bill Bunbury.
One place of interest visited on the
weekend was the old Picton church built
by Reverend Wollaston in 1882 where
conference member Neil Millicam
impersonated the Reverend talking from
his diary about his time in the region.
Another article was “History in the
Making” about the wheatbelt town of
Kulin which has become famous for its
annual bush rides in October. Kulin is
By 2000 there were twenty or more tin
horses along the 15km stretch of the
Kulin-Corrigin Road, winning the name
“Tin Horse Highway”. At last count
there were more than sixty, each bigger,
better or more outlandish.
Made in secrecy and erected under cover
of darkness, more horses are expected
to appear this race count. The small
town of Kulin, population 400, swells to
4,000 over the 3-day Bush Race period.
Gary Ingram later in the meeting
outlined his dream of creating an
environmental method of giving forest
access those who would not normally
manage the Cape-to-Cape walking
trails.
Originally testing quad bikes, Gary has
sourced the world’s first eco-electric
bike. The bike runs on a battery, has no
noise, no fumes and speed is restricted
to 25 kph.
footage about the plant diversity, historic
mammals and ancient landforms.
The plan involves sharing the Capeto-Cape Track with walkers for only
1.3kms. Gary sincerely hopes his
9-year research to achieve his goal can
become a reality.
Calling more Museum volunteers!
Even once a month, manning the
desk for a 3-hour session would help
enormously.
Christmas Party
Thursday 19 December. Members
are asked to look out for items for the
“Table of Interest”.
The hamper and raffle will also take
place as usual.
General Meeting
Thursday 21 November, 7.30pm.
Guest Speaker will be botanist Neville
Marchant who has a Honorary Research
Fellowship at Kings Park. We will be
talking about the botany of the WA
coast from Dampier down to Perth.

all of those who attended. Maybe we
can gain a few desperately needed new
members from the day.
Augusta Ladies Bowling Club started
the season with a " Friendship Day",
where visitors and members mingled and
bowled in support of our Cancer charity.
Some good bowls and some not so
very good were sent down in a casual
atmosphere of great humour and
fellowship. The day was won by a
powerhouse team skippered by Lynne
Milentis.
Over $400 was raised, and we thank
Our club can be extremely proud of Dee
Harrison's team of Lyn Colmer (Margaret
River), Toni Hodgson , and Wendy
Wilson who ventured to Mandurah last
week and braved hideous conditions
to play in the prestigious Dudley Park
Classic. Not only were they victorious,
but a team from Dunsborough - also in
our small but proud Leeuwin League took out third place.
A very exciting and satisfying result
for our girls who are much admired in
bowling circles for their willingness to
travel long distances to compete at a top
level of competition.
Good bowling every one - and rememberit's all about line, length and luck !
The Fireman's Ball
“A group of firemen at a station in a
nondescript town somewhere in (still
communist) Czechoslovakia decides
to honour its retiring chief at the
upcoming Firemen's Ball. The planning
committee is hoping to put on a good
dance, livening things up with a few
small innovations. A raffle of prizes is
promised as well as a beauty pageant.
Well, the committee proves to have
no idea how to run a beauty pageant
and as the dance continues the door
prizes progressively get stolen. Finally,
a fire strikes a house near the station.

Distracted by the dance, the firefighters can't even get the fire truck out
to the fire in time. The older man and
his family who had lived in the house
that has now largely burnt down is
found simply praying that “Our Father”
as the helpless and rather embarrassed
fire-fighters stand helplessly by...” The
movie spans a period of about 24 hours,
as the firemen prepare for the event,
attend it and survive it!
The Ride
The film was 'Czech' director Milos
Forman's final film in his home country
before settling in the United States as an
expatriate (after Russian troops moved
their tanks into Prague in 1968). It was
nominated for an Academy Award for
Best Foreign Film in 1969. Forman
later went on to direct the classic 'One
Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' along
with many other memorable films.
Who would think the outback
was wheelchair accessible? Can a
quadriplegic ride a quad bike 5000 km
across the Australian outback?
“The film hasn't dated as entertainment;
Forman doesn't push his political
points, being content to let them make
themselves, unfolding gracefully
from the human drama. The movie is
just plain funny and as a parable it is
timeless” - Roger Ebert (respected U.S
critic).
Running time of 71 minutes. Rated M.
Screening at 7.30pm at the Augusta
Community Resource Centre on
Tuesday November 19th.
Doors open at 7.00 pm. Entry by
donation – for refreshments provided.
Strap yourself in as three paraplegics
and a quadriplegic swap wheelchairs
for quad bikes and embark on the ride
of their lives. This documentary charts
their adventure as they visit the crash
sites where their lives changed forever.
Their encounters with mud, deserts,
floods and exhaustion test their
resilience and endurance to breaking
point. Fuelled by bold humour and
disarming honesty, The Ride is a wild
traverse across the terrain of the human
spirit, as four men make peace with the
tragedy of their past.
Augusta Community Cinema are
presenting this special community
screening in conjunction with ride
participant – Jim Cairns – who will
be hosting a Q&A session after the
screening.
The documentary has a running time
of 55 minutes – Rated M. Thursday
November 28th at the Augusta CRC.
Doors open at 7pm for a screening time
of 7.30pm. Entry by donation.
Reflexology
“There is a lot more to your feet than
meets the ground”. Reflexology is an
ancient and extremely effective form of
therapeutic, non-invasive massage that
helps you to relax therefore the body
heals itself more effectively. There are
reflexology points on various parts of
the body and we sub consciously work
them every day.
Once upon a time early man massaged
his feet daily by walking bare foot over
the ground. With over 7,000 nerve
endings in your feet, it very important
to look after them and to stay grounded.
We also know the ancient Egyptians
used reflexology in 2500 BC as a
means of relaxation and healing. There
is an old Chinese proverb that states:
“Man who massages his feet at night
will have a good nights sleep”.
Reflexology is something we use every
day; biting your finger nails stimulates
reflex points for the brain; pinching
the outer ear works the spinal reflex
points; cracking your fingers releases
tension in the jaw or sinus; rubbing the
hands together with fingers interlocked
massages the lymphatics and we all
love having our head massaged by the
hairdresser. This works nerve endings
that stimulates the whole body.
We complain of sore feet and
automatically rub them; this is because
our body is telling us something. Did
you know that this is often a reflection
of what is going on in another part of
your body? The easiest way to work
your feet is to rub them over a golf ball.
If this is too painful use a squash ball,
or a tub of balls. Leonardo da Vinci
said: “The human foot is a masterpiece
of engineering and a work of art.”
Reflexology is a natural therapy that
helps the body to alleviate stress,
improve
circulation,
stimulate
digestion, release toxins effectively and
generates an overall sense of wellbeing
and a more positive outlook.
The Fireman’s Ball
Starring: Vaclav Stockel
November 2013
By massaging reflex points in the feet,
hands or nose you help your body to
heal. When you are truly relaxed you
will feel healthy, happy, grounded and
‘stay on your feet’. Step into spring with
health and vitality with reflexology.

grown up. We had no phone no power and only one vehicle.
Power was a 3KVA generator in the shed. Quite a transition
for a city girl. I took to farm life I think pretty well.
MEET THE STAFF:
YVONNE ANGELA HENDERER
I was born in a town in Scotland called Banchory 18miles
west of Aberdeen in 1950.
My parents with my sister and myself decided to immigrate
in 1958 to Australia. Dad had been in the Royal Navy
and had seen a lot of the world. He choose Perth. It was
a huge step for them, as it was for many families to come
to a foreign place to try and better themselves. Although it
was hard leaving all their family and friends, it was the best
move for our family. We arrived in Fremantle on the 16th
May 1958.
We rented a house initially in South Perth and later on
bought it. I went to school at Kensington Primary and then
Kent Street Senior High until I did my Junior Certificate.
My first job was in a wallpaper shop, just around the corner
from home.
In October 1966 I started work for the state government at
Police Traffic Branch as a data processor. I worked there
until I married in 1970.
I met David in 1966, who was a farmer from Kondinin.
We were engaged on News Years Day 1970 and married in
September that year. I moved to the farm, where David had
In 1973 Bill our first son was born followed by two more
sons in quick succession. Mark, 1975 and Pete 1976.
The trials and tribulation of farming are many but we
managed to make our way quite successfully. We had good
years, and not so good years as farming is. We gamble on
what comes out of the sky or what doesn’t!!
When our boys went away to school it was time for me
to look for a job to supplement the farm income and help
towards the boys schooling. I started work at the Kondinin
Police Station as the licensing clerk where I stayed for five
and half years.
It was at this time that David and I decided to move away
from farming. We had always holidayed in Augusta, so the
decision was made to see if we could live here. We came for
a holiday and bought the house we live in now.
David shared farmed with his brother for a few years until
he decided to lease it to him. We used to travel from here to
Kondinin every four weeks or so. It was very tiring so we
decided to move permanently in 2001. We leased a small
farm here in Augusta and raised steers for a few years and
then David did some work for a local farmer.
After leaving the police station I worked for the Upper Great
Southern HACC doing home help and respite work. That is
how I started in the aged care sector. I loved working with
people and helping where I could. I found it very rewarding.
I have met some lovely people over the years and have
remained friends with many.
During this time all our sons married and we now have five
beautiful grandchildren, Chloe, Georgia, Katie, Joshua and
Konor. David keeps himself busy with Volunteer Sea Rescue
Group, Leeuwin Lodge Units Committee and as a volunteer
at the Lions Recycling Shed.
In 2001 when we came to Augusta permanently I was offered
employment at the hospital as wards maid and kitchen hand.
Later I did home help and respite. I worked at the Lodge as
a relief cook and cleaner. I found it such a privilege to work
with and help all the residents. I was asked if I would like to
be a relief supervisor, which I did and loved it. At the same
time I did my Certificate 3 in Aged Care and started work
on the ward caring for the permanent care residents. I was a
supervisor at the Lodge until 2010 when David & I decided
to semi retire.
I have been in a variety of positions in my time at the hospital.
Now I work for Georgina Thiele under the HACC banner as
Augusta Adult Day Centre Coordinator. I am one of many
privileged people to work with our more senior citizens.
The Day Centre is a place where we meet every Monday
and Tuesday and have fun with our friends and play the
occasional game of carpet bowls or a game of quoits, a place
for friends to meet and catch up on local gossip. It is a place
to come enjoy a lovely home style cooked meal and a cuppa.
I consider myself the lucky one where I can come to work
and have fun too. What more could you ask for?
