AUSTRALIA DAY SPEECH—MICHAEL SLESSAR
(as requested by a member of the public)
Mayor, Robe and District Council members, distinguished guests, fellow Australians.
It is my privilege to have been invited to speak to you on such a significant and symbolic day. It is also my privilege to be a
resident of Robe and a member of its community. To me, Australia Day is an opportunity not only to think about personal
and local ambitions and achievements, but also to think diversely and selflessly about the future potential of Robe and of
its future direction. Part of the brief I was given was to speak about my impressions of Robe and District from the perspective of a newcomer and to offer some opinions about how these impressions might be drawn on to think about the more
profound significance of Australia Day. So I’ll start with some background and then develop impressions and reflections on
the day in the context of Robe.
My name is Michael Slessar. My wife Helen and I have been living full time in Robe since July, 2009. Only five minutes,
really. For me, this decision comes after 37 years working in Victoria as a secondary teacher and school principal, a profession of which I am proud to have been a part. It is a decision that marks a conscious change in my life away from long
hours of work and towards the realisation of an intention to square off how I have been enriched by the Australian community by putting back into the local community of Robe. This means reciprocating in some very small way by contributing to
the enduring and humane legacy that forms part of our Australian life.
I first started visiting Robe in the late 1970s when I used to bring Year 12 students from Edenhope here every February for
their annual Study Camp. At that time, Robe struck me as a quiet, self-sufficient town ideally situated on a tranquil bay and
with many of its historic buildings intact and companionably interspersed with the more modern buildings of the town.
After Helen and I were married and our two children were born, we brought them to Robe for our annual January holidays
during the 1980s and 1990s. Over those years, our main reason for visiting was that Robe was safe for children, apart from
the fact that our son was and still is a passionate fisherman and everyone liked eating fish and chips on the foreshore.
We had often discussed as a family moving permanently to Robe during our holidays here and in 2004 we bought a block
in Thompson Road, built our house in 2008 and moved here permanently last year.
Robe is and has always been a welcoming community to our family and offers something for all of us. For me, Robe is a
picturesque and peaceful place. Its history is a strong and viable presence and its future growth assured. It is a quiet pleasure to see the light over West Beach every morning and to walk along its fresh, smooth sand.
So, on one level, Robe is a welcoming place. People acknowledge you and will help you if they can. It is hospitable. Visitors come back. Many come to Robe to holiday, rest, relax and recuperate. Couples choose to come here to be married.
All visitors draw on Robe’s natural beauty and attractions, its atmosphere, ambience and history.
Taking this further, there are features of Robe that are unique to this place, distinctly Australian and, I believe, quite profound in their reflection of the enduring character of this community:
The first of these features is The Robe Fishermen’s Memorial, a straightforward commemoration of people who have lost
their lives while earning their living. Many of those commemorated were in their twenties. It reflects a country where monuments respect ordinary people rather than kings and queens, presidents and prime ministers. Monuments that are not determined by any prevailing political ideologies but rather by clear, honest and simple recognition of sacrifice, of endeavour,
of enterprise and of achievement. The soldier, the acknowledgement of land, the Chinese making their way to the Victorian
goldfields. The three flags that fly on Royal Circus. It is a very Australian tolerance of diversity that enables us to see a recognised indigenous flag flying alongside the national flag.

AUSTRALIA DAY SPEECH, MICHAEL SLESSAR, continued
On another occasion, it is a conversation I had with a senior Robe resident about black cockatoos. She was unassuming
about her knowledge, yet her enthusiasm for the beauty and unusual habits of this uniquely Australian bird ran through the
entire discussion. A person in the street with an extensive knowledge based on years of observation and experience.
Recently, I observed a funeral being held in the grounds at the front of the RSL Hall. I was struck by its unobtrusive nobility
and the mood of quiet respect. The bright, clear Australian sunlight shone through the eucalypts and mottled shadows
danced over the mourners in the gentle breeze. The subtle song of finches could be heard. Life was continuing around the
event which, for the moments I saw, was in harmony with it. A proud, dignified past of service uniting with the freshness
and promise of the present.
But notwithstanding these symbolic links between Robe and the meaning of Australia Day, it is also important to think
about Australia Day in new ways. This is our challenge as a community too. What does Australia Day mean in the context
of our own lives and that of the community in which we live? Where are we taking ourselves?
It is easier to accept things the way they are and more difficult to effectively articulate what decisions will best benefit and
enhance Robe and its community in the future. Of course the forward thinker will not always be popular and it is easy to
deter forward thinking by opposition. The real challenge of Australia Day is to think large about our community, to think beyond short term self interest and to respond proactively to the long term needs of a growing town in a beautiful country. As
Australians, we need to bring knowledge and courage to such decisions, to have robust, frank and well-conducted discussions in all available forums, to define our community intelligence and to move towards bigger thinking. Our link with the
wider concepts of Australia Day is our capacity to think broadly about the future we want for Robe. There is no shortage of
bureaucracies that will tell us what to do, but at the same time there is no shortage either of Robe people prepared to help
the community.
For visitors to Robe, it is a place to come to take their pleasure. For residents of Robe the responsibility is deeper. It is to
give, to plan, to debate and to act in all best interests. Australia Day provokes these questions by its historical example. It
recognises our collective identity and prompts us to move forward. The day makes us realise who we are, why we’re here
and places the onus squarely on us to advance our town and our nation.
I can’t resist closing with a reference to one historical feature of Robe. It is also appropriate because it reflects a love of the
land that is part of us. It also, in the last lines, expresses through our young people, hope for a strong and healthy future.
There is a connection to Robe in the form of the Caledonian Hotel and Adam Lindsay Gordon. In its way, Gordon’s life had
a distinctly Australian provenance. He was British born, exiled to Australia as a younger son who preferred gambling, boxing and riding to studying. He grew to love the Australian landscape and living in Australia. His work as a mounted police
officer was always incidental to his work as a horse breaker, jockey and daring steeplechase rider as well as poet. He delighted in free, roaming travels and developed a passion for committing to poetry what he loved about our landscape, our
spirit and how we lived our lives. He also committed local events to poetry, writing pieces reflecting on the death of Robert
O’Hara Burke and the loss of the ‘Admella”. While laid up at the Caledonian Hotel in 1862 after a fall from a horse, naturally, he met and married Margaret Park, the innkeeper’s daughter who was herself a capable horsewoman.
So I’d like to finish by reading a few lines from “The Sick Stockrider” which he wrote in 1868 while staying at Yallum Park
near Penola.
These lines reflect Gordon’s love for the beauty and harshness of Australian landscape and capture our very Australian
resistance to constraints of the spirit and the hopes we carry for all our young people.
The last lines of the poem are made additionally poignant by the fact that Gordon took his own life two years later on Brighton Beach.
The Sick Stockrider…..
The deep blue skies wax dusky, and the tall trees grow dim,
The sward beneath me seems to heave and fall;
And sickly, smoky shadows through the sleepy sunlight swim,
And on the very sun’s face weave their pall.
Let me slumber in the hollow where the wattle blossoms wave,
With never stone or rail to fence my bed;
Should the sturdy station children pull the bush flowers on my grave,
I may chance to hear them romping overhead.

the Bowling Club by erecting a fence.
Council authorised the Chief Executive Officer to hold a public meeting for the purpose of forming a
Steering Committee to facilitate the formation of a new tourism body (The outcome of this meeting
will be published in the next edition of the Robe Community Newsletter).
Council, in conjunction with the Robe Road Safety Group, would like to remind people to be vigilant
with road safety when walking on roads without footpaths. Please ensure that you are walking in the
opposite direction to traffic, to avoid any possible accidents.
Community Action Grants funding has been giving to Friends of the Little Dip, under the Collaborative Community Volunteers Project, for the rehabilitation and protection of coastal headland habitat
in Robe.
Council will consider the cost of constructing a specific loading zone area within the town, in the
2010/2011 budget.
A meeting was held in January at the Boatswains Point reserve for the residents and ratepayers of

Mayor’s Message
SELGA Meeting
SELGA’s bimonthly meeting was held in Naracoorte in February.
Mobile Phone reception
SELGA (the association of councils in the South East) is going to seek better mobile phone
coverage in the South East. Anyone who wants improved coverage is asked to come to council
and mark on a DC Robe map the areas where they want improved coverage and which carrier
they are with. Once these are collated for each council SELGA will present them to the carriers
with a request for improvement. This also includes roads to and from the south east.
RDA update
Regional Development Australia is up and running. SELGA doesn’t have a formal funding
agreement with the new body however SELGA has put temporary funding in place until 30 June
2010. In the five months between then and now SELGA wants to meet as early as possible with
the new RDA board to discuss SELGA’s requests for things such as improved governance. This
is an excellent decision and was unanimous. It was put forward by Mayor Don Pegler from DC
Grant. Hopefully now we move forward on this for the benefit of the South East with 21st
century governance and transparency.

CCOWS is delighted that children at our three sites have settled back so well into child care.
After short breaks or holidays, it sometimes takes young children a while to get back into the
‘groove’. That’s why having a consistent staff roster is important, a familiar welcoming face
makes all the difference. There are waiting lists for places at all sites. Like the Kindergartens in
the region , we are experiencing a ‘boom’ in numbers. We look forward to providing an interesting program,
safe and friendly environment filled with appropriate activities and challenges. The staff team has had sevN eral training days this year and look forward to putting into practice some of the ideas we have seen. This
E year, there is a new National Curriculum framework being adopted across Australia.
W The important under-pinning facts taken into account include:
S *observing the rights of children;
* having productive, co-operative partnerships with parents and the community;
* recognizing that each child is ‘his own person’, an individual with his own needs.
CCOWS looks forward to continuing to offer care that respects children and families, makes friends and has
fun along the way.

BOOK REVIEW
“The Elegance of the Hedgehog” by Muriel Barbery –
(translated from the French by Alison Anderson)
I was so lucky to be given this book for my birthday and what a
present it turned out to be. It is the story of Renee, who appears to be the archetypal concierge of a grand apartment, on
the Left Bank in Paris. Behind the façade Renee, selfeducated is passionate about culture and the arts, and the
story builds around her relationships with the tenants who, in
the natural way of things, think that Renee is just a concierge.
The book is a collection of polished stories built around the occupants of the apartment. One of the more memorable is the
articulate twelve year old Paloma Josse who is so dissatisfied
with the scheme of things that she plans to break from her
soulless family in a dramatic way. There is Monsieur Ozu – a
I
Japanese gentleman with whom she can actually converse –
N
the patrician Monsieur Arthens, a food critic whose death
F
O brings change to the scheme of things – what an assortment of
R characters who float across the scene, contributing much to
M this tapestry.
A
T
I
O
N
One of my favourites is Manuela, a Portuguese cleaning
woman and Renee best friend. When Manuela comes to visit
she is never without some daintily wrapped morsel to accompany their coffee. They enjoy good conversation and laughter
and together create a little island of grace and humour.
N This is not a book to be skimmed – it contains many short
E chapters, sad, funny, perceptive, philosophical – all couched in
W writing of great economy and elegance. Strangely, I found this
S
book a little difficult to get into but I’m so glad I persisted.
When I was going through the book again in order to write this
recommendation, I kept getting carried away and enjoying it all
over again. It is the sort of book that, once read, I can pick up
and re-enjoy which ever chapter I land on.
I was a little dubious about choosing this book, only because I
wasn’t sure that I could do it justice. It is a beautifully-crafted
funny, moving and wise book that awaits you in your library. I
hope nobody makes it into a film. Don’t be daunted – just take
your time and give it a go!
P.S. The Library also stocks Muriels Barbery’s new short novel
“The Gourmet” which further develops the story of the previously mentioned Monsieur Arthens.

Telecross REDi—A free life‐saving service during extreme weather events The Telecross REDi service supports people by regularly calling them during heatwaves and other extreme weather events. Telecross REDi will be activated by the South Australian Department for Families and Communities, when an extreme weather event is declared. Telecross REDi assists vulnerable and isolated people to prepare for and cope with extreme weather events. In January and February 2009, South Australia suffered a heatwave that claimed many lives and hospital‐
ized many more. Telecross REDi provides security for clients and their families and carers, who are assured that their loved ones are contacted regularly during extreme weather events. Red Cross volunteers call pre‐registered clients up to three times a day to check on their wellbeing. The volunteers discuss how they are coping and remind them of important meas‐
ures to assist them through the extreme weather event. If a call goes unanswered, an emergency procedure is activated to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the client. Anyone in the community who is likely to need or want phone support during extreme weather events is encourages to register for this service. In particular people who live alone, have a disability, are housebound, frail, aged, recovering from an illness or accident, or have an ongoing illness, such as diabetes or a heart condi‐
tion. Carers of vulnerable people are also encouraged to register, as they may also be at risk during an extreme weather event. Telecross REDi is free. Donations are welcome if you wish to make a contribution. Registrations can be made by phone, by you, a carer, social worker, doctor, family member or friend. Some people who receive services from Domiciliary Care, Meals on Wheels and the Royal District Nursing Service can be assisted to register through their staff. To contact Telecross REDi 1800 188 071 or 08 8100 4697 or SAClientServices@redcross.org.au 5
ROBE COMMUNITY GYM –
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION
The town of Robe does not currently have a community
gym that residents or visitors are able to access throughout the year. A great deal of interest has been expressed
in such a facility and through previous investigation it is
obvious the community is keen to explore the concept
further. A steering committee has now engaged a consultant Jeff Dry from One Eighty Sport and Leisure Solutions to further explore the community gym possibility.
As such data is currently being gathered into the feasibility of establishing a community gym in Robe. As either a
local resident or regular visitor to Robe, your feedback is
being sought on this issue through an on-line survey. All
you need to do is open up the link below.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/6KYBH2F
It would be appreciated if you could find 5 minutes or so
to complete the survey electronically or if you do not have
access to a computer you can collect a copy of the survey from the Public Library or Visitor Information Centre
and fill it in there and place in the Return Survey box.
This is an exciting opportunity for local people to have
their say about a community gym so you are encouraged
to make a contribution to this consultation process. If you
want to get more information or have a chat to the consultant working on the project then you are invited to

PLAYGROUP AT ROBE
KINDERGARTEN
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Due to the high number of children enrolled,
Robe Kindergarten is unable to offer Playgroup in 2010.
Please know that we have appreciated the support and company of parents and carers who
have attended Playgroup to date. We’ve loved
getting to know your children in their lead up to
kindy. There is always the possibility that we may
be in a position to resume hosting Playgroup
some time in the future and we will keep you
posted if we do.
Playgroup needn’t finish for good though. Weekly
gatherings are a wonderful way for new parents
to connect with other families in the community.
We therefore propose that interested people continue to meet up at the playground, at least for
the warmer months. Those who attend may wish
to discuss future and Winter alternatives such as
the RSL Hall (Robe Kindy would be happy to loan
some activity equipment if this were used).

METHOD
Preheat oven to moderately hot (200°C).

Robe Primary School Easter Fete!
Tarooki
A new era at Tarooki was recognised this
weekend as 170 people from Adelaide, across
the Limestone Coast region and from all local
Christian denominations gathered on-site at
Robe to officially dedicate the new Uniting
Church. The modern function centre, drafted
by Mt. Gambier architects, built by a Naracoorte builder and serviced by local tradesmen,
has been built to become not only the new
spiritual home of the Robe Congregation, but a
multipurpose facility to complement the existing campsite. It will also provide a place for
teaching, learning, and family functions which,
it is hoped, will encourage new people to enjoy
Robe.
Rev. Dr. Ian Price spoke during the service
about the many people using these new facilities; “While they are in this peaceful place,
looking at the spectacular view they will have
an opportunity to come closer to God.”
The new facility is a large open space area well
equipped with sound and visual technology
including an interactive white board, enabling
use for a wide variety of specialist teaching
methods or conference activities. The spacious
kitchen area is suitable for light catering, and
copying and printing facilities are also available. Round tables make the area suitable for
both conferences, activities or catered functions. Catering by Adam Brooks catering may
be arranged through the booking officer.
While the building will be used as a worship
centre for the local congregation on each
weekend, it is available for hire for other activities through the “Tarooki” booking officer.

EIGHTH VISIT TO MILLICENT BY MOBILE BREAST X-RAY UNIT
BreastScreen SA’s mobile unit will in April 2010 begin its eighth visit to Millicent, to provide free screening mammograms (breast x-rays) for more than 1,000 local women. It will again be located at the Civic and Arts Centre car park on
Ridge Terrace. Breast screening begins in early April and depending on demand, will conclude in mid May 2010. Invitations for existing clients will be posted progressively from first to last due, and new clients are welcome. For appointments, phone 13 20 50 for the cost of a local call. A doctor’s referral is not required.
This free government service is primarily recommended for all women aged 50 to 69 without breast symptoms. It is
estimated that for individual women in this age group, having a screening mammogram every two years reduces the
chance of dying from breast cancer by about 40%.
Women aged 40 to 49 and over 70 are also eligible for screening and are very welcome to phone for an appointment if
they wish to attend. BreastScreen SA’s Promotions and Education Manager, Karen Shepherd, said the two biggest risk
factors for breast cancer are being a woman and being over 50. “Further, nine out of 10 women who get breast cancer
have no family history of this disease,” she said. “While breast cancer cannot be prevented, the best way to detect it
early is by having a mammogram every two years. Screening can detect most breast cancers, including some too small
to be felt.” Ms Shepherd emphasized that one screening mammogram is not enough to last a lifetime. “So if you’re a
woman over 50, have one every two years on the mobile unit in Millicent,” she said.
“With early detection, there is a greater chance of successful treatment.”

Our Ladies Champion Fours team, B Hunt, B Mathews, S Duly and J Hardy played well against the Millicent ladies over

Millicent neighbours. May they continue to win at Region Champion of Champion events at Naracoorte in April. On the
15th February Chris, Valma, Carmel and Bet travelled to Lucindale. Lucindale has at this time, one of the better greens
in our Associated should one seek a finals venue. Their other green (out back), has an untold character—yet for us to
tame! Wednesday 17 February Twilight bowls was once again held with thirty competitors—S Murphy, T Hondow and
N visitors top scored with 30 points—runner up team was J Harnath (Horsham), R Williams, and visitors. Twilight bowls

club received a thank you letter from Maurice Corcoran showing his appreciation to the member of the Robe Bowling
Club. Bob Dolan is our Robe Club Champion taking the singles title at Robe greens on Sunday 24 January, with 26
shots to 20. Congratulations Bob. Runner up was Errol Jennings. Both players (using all their shots in their bags) had all
the supporters on their tiptoes. Bob will represent Robe at Association level at Mount Gambier on 27 March. 20 players
participated in our Mens Singles Event this year. Worthy of mention was semi final match between Mark Denton and
Bob Dolan 20-21, also Errol Jennings defeating Jake Golding 21-18. C Dawson, J Ludwig & C Davidson defeated P
Dening, V Jennings & S Duly by 2 shots. These ladies will compete in Naracoorte at Association level on 1st March.

lost to Mount Gambier RSL Red. Division 4 Mixed Gender team once again proved a point or two as Robe defeated Naracoorte RSL team 84-14 points to 72-2 points. Much jubilation at the clubhouse because of this win. The Division 3
players are just holding their ladder position by the smallest margin—when looking at a final’s berth. While Division 4 are
noticeably on the improve. Bernice, Rosemary, Suzanne & Bet travelled to Beachport on Thursday 5 February and had
an enjoyable day, despite the rain.
It’s great to see the Campbells, the Dinnings, and the Hinge families here from the Upper South East, also Sandy Leopold & John Harnath from Horsham.

To introduce Robe to the family behind 3R Property Maintenance.
In October 2009 the Jones family, Haydn, Ellouise and Malachy moved to Robe from Adelaide. After coming down for
holidays, staying at our beautiful caravan parks for many
years before choosing to pack up there home and make the
sea change to Robe from the big city. Malachy has just
started kindy so if you see him remember to say HI. Ellouise is currently studying to be a midwife at Flinders Uni
in Adelaide so she is travelling back and forth a bit. She
has recently been out with our community midwife and enjoyed meeting some of the new mums in Robe. Haydn has
been kept busy with the start of their new business 3R
Property Maintenance servicing Robe and the Limestone
Coast. He has almost not been seen at the local bowling
club since starting the business. (see advert below)
