A welcome addition to the local art scene

C oastal Views recently caught up with well-known South Australian artist SophieDunlop, who has just made the

momentous decision to move permanently toAldinga.Sophie Dunlop (Master of Fine Arts) was born inSydney in 1971. She comes from a family ofartists, her father being the late Brian Dunlop.Throughout herchildhood, shetravelled extensivelyand learnt from herfather and his peers.Sophie grew up andstudied in Sydneyand in 2003 shemoved to Adelaide.She works full time asan artist andpreviously had herstudio in the historicprecinct of PortAdelaide.Known mainly for herstill-life painting,Sophie Dunlop isinspired by thehumble props thatadorn her studio,gathered from a localmarket or from hertravels abroad.Sophie relishes theunique and intricatedetails of each objectshe portrays.Her meticulous styleis countered with a curious eye andunconventional composition, to provide theviewer with a fresh yet thoughtful vision of thefamiliar. Echoing the evocative design of orientalrugs and embroidery, Sophie imbues her subjectmatter with a quality that goes beyond thesurface.She uses intensified colour and perception sothat the viewer transcends the surface of thecanvas to taste and smell the succulent flesh ofthe fruit she paints or to feel the luxurious textureof the exotic fabrics.According to Sophie, the decision to move toAldinga was an easy one.“Two years ago I moved to the beautiful FleurieuPeninsula,” she said. “I quickly fell in love with therelaxed and community focused culture here andfind the landscape, produce and lifestyle a sourceof daily inspiration in my work.

“I have been running art classes in Adelaide for10 years now, and am now offering a class forbeginners in McLaren Flat at the Pruners HutWinery.“Students will be inspired to create their artworksin these tranquil surroundings and with carefuland skilled tuition, they will learn techniques thathelp their artistic expression,” said Sophie.

But we’re learning that it’s actuallypeople’s values and attitudes that affect how werespond. Climate change is a people problemand it will be people who fix it.

Letter to the Editor

An Ecological DisasterThe general public are just starting to get a bit ofan idea just how serious the Darling riversituation is. So that’s a plus, but it’s about theonly one I can think of where that river isconcerned.A lot of people have predicted for a long time,that future wars will be fought over water, and it’snot drawing too long a bow to say that therecould be blood in the water (or where it used tobe!) in Australia. The stations along the lowerDarling, and the townspeople are in the frontlinein this ‘war’, and to be honest, they must befeeling pretty lonely… they are not very wellsupported by the rest of the country.The vast majority of our population don’t realizethat what is happening in the Darling, cansometime in the future, happen to the ‘MightyMurray’, and that would definitely get theattention of the general public! Barnaby Joycecame out recently in the Australian newspaper,inferring that Cotton was not to be blamed for theproblem… well of course it is, along with theNSW Government for giving out unlimited waterlicences like there was no tomorrow.As usual, it gets down to money and greed.Drought is also a major part of the mix, but naturehas coexisted with drought forever and a day. Sodid us Europeans until more recent times whenirrigation was adopted on a grand scale. The lastdrought almost saw the demise of some birdspecies, including Pelicans, Strawnecked Ibis(the Farmers friend), Black and Pinkeared ducks.However, this received very little publicity.So many people think the environment is ok solong as they can see a couple of crows and agumtree every day. The Centennial drought wascomparable to the recent drought, but caused nosuch problem because there was very littleirrigation sucking water out of our rivers,therefore enough wetlands remained. Not thecase now, and so many of our birds are in a veryvulnerable state. We need more birdwatchers inthis country and less politicians, then we mightstart to sort some of these problems out.

Massive new plantings of almonds, in particular,are apparently to receive no ‘new water’, Only‘existing water’. But what happens if the droughtcontinues for a few more years? Are theseplantings going to be left to die through lack ofwater?Industrial hemp (a subject I have been writingabout for years), after being blocked by the giantand powerful Cotton and Insecticide lobbies, isfinally out in the open, and ‘legalized’. But it’sgoing to be years before enough crops are in theground for the over 2000 products derived fromhemp, can make a difference. A retirementvillage project at Mt Barker, using Hempcrete(bricks made from hemp fibre and lime) has topurchase its material from France, because thereare not enough crops producing yet in Australia.There is no better building material thanhempcrete… it is light, fireproof, cheap(eventually), and actually ‘breathes’, thuseliminating the need for airconditioning andheating. You don’t have to believe me. check itout. It is well documented. If we still have a fewrivers working, it has the potential to rejuvenateagriculture in Australia. It is a crop designed forAustralia, requiring minimal water and noinsecticides.If ever there was ever a time for Australians tostand together as a nation, put aside selfishnessand greed, and finally agree on a MDB plan thatlooks after the environment first, and then therest of us, in a sustainable way…it is now

Enjoy a beach break at home

T he beaches are more beautiful than Bondiand the marine life more diverse than theGreat Barrier Reef, but there’s a lot more

that makes Onkaparinga’s blue boundary unique.Where else can you snorkel with over 200different marine species, surf on coveted reefbreaks and paddle a kayak on either the ocean orthe river — all within a few kilometres of eachother?The rhetorical question is posed by ChrisCampbell,whoconfesses to astrong biastowardsOnkaparingaafter travellingand living iniconic coastallocationsaround theworld untileight yearsago when hemade PortNoarlungahome.“It is the bestplace in theworld to live,”he says. “Wehave aMediterraneanclimate sothere are nottoo manydays whenyou can’t be on — or in — the water.”Chris’s bias is affirmed by the thousands ofinternational visitors who have patronised hisbusiness, Easy Kayaks, telling him thatOnkaparinga’s diversity and accessibility makes itunique in the world. Who could disagree, whenbathing and boating are popular along theregion’s 31 kilometre blue boundary and thereare a lot more water activities on offer.Starting at Lonsdale you can walk your dog off-leash 24 hours a day; at Port Noarlunga Reef youcan snorkel with Zebra fish; or kayak to Southportwhere you can paddle upstream along theOnkaparinga River floodplain to historic OldNoarlunga. Or, continue along the coast wherepristine sand dunes give way to ochre-colouredcliffs and protected waters change to curling MidCoast surf breaks. If agility on a board is yourgoal, there are surf schools to help you ride thesefamed waves in no time.

As you near Moana the beach widens and firms,allowing car access to while away summer daysin comfort; and a few protected coves southwardis Port Willunga, where you’ll find the relic of anhistoric jetty and a popular dive site, the 1888shipwrecked Star of Greece, which is part ofAdelaide’s Underwater Heritage Trail. Accessiblefrom the shore is the Aldinga Aquatic Reserve,with its low-profile rocky reefs and expansiveseagrass meadows that stretch seaward toprovide dramatic diving opportunities.

This watery wonderland has been identified asbeing of fundamental importance to the entireGulf St Vincent’s ecosystem. Aldinga Beach isalso home to unique birdlife, with a stints,pelicans and cormorants.At the end of the day, throw in a line at Sellicks orthrow down your towel to watch the dailysplendour of the sun setting over the ocean.“It is a really nice lifestyle here,” Chris says. “Thisis a rare gem of an area.”Republished from:https://www.onkaparinganow.com/summer-2019/enjoy-a-beach-break-at-home/


Tips for coping with the heatwave

E xtreme heat can also cause majordisruptions to daily life, such as electricitycuts, the closure of schools and

workplaces, and disruptions to public transport.“Everyone is affected by the heat in differentways, but there are some simple steps you cantake to reduce the effects,” Mr Coghlan says.“Top of the list is keeping out of the heat andmaking sure you drink water regularly.”“For South Australians in the grips of a severeheat wave, make sure you check in on those whoare vulnerable. Red Cross will also be makingphone calls from tomorrow to those who havesigned up for our South Australian TelecrossREDI service, so we can make sure those whoare isolated or vulnerable are doing okay in thisextreme weather.”Red Cross’ tips for coping with the heat:Drink regularly: even if you don’t feel thirsty.

Water is the best option. Avoid alcohol, tea,coffee and sugary or fizzy drinks as they makedehydration worse.Eat little and often: rather than large meals. Try

to eat more cold food, particularly salads andfruit, which contain water.Stay indoors: in the coolest rooms of your

house or in the shade during the hottest part ofthe day.

Take cool showers and splash yourself with coldwater several times a day, particularly your faceand the back of your neck. A loose, cotton, dampcloth or scarf on the back of the neck can helpyou stay cool.Air flow: make sure there is sufficient air

circulation, either from an air conditioner or byleaving a secured window or door open.Find the shade: if you must go out, stay in the

shade. Wear a hat and light-coloured, loose-fitting clothes, preferably made of natural fibres.Wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen with a sunprotection factor of 30 to exposed skin. If you willbe outside for some time, take plenty of waterwith you.Look out for your neighbours: if you know

someone who might be susceptible to heatstress, stop by and make sure they know what todo to stay cool.Download Red Cross’ FREE first aid app so

you have the key signs and symptoms at yourfingertips and can look up what to do.For more on how to get prepared foremergencies large and small visit

Adelaide meets the Bush in Willunga

I n the lead up to the Australia Day longweekend, Royal Life Saving Society - Australiawith support of the Federal Government, is

launching the ‘Don’t Let Your Mates Drink andDrown’ campaign, to remind men of the seriousissue surrounding alcohol consumption nearwater.Royal Life Saving Society – Australia - CEO,Justin Scarr, says “We are deeply concernedabout the high level of intoxication of men whenin and around waterways. A culture of risk-takingbehaviour by men around water can bedangerous, and when combined with alcohol, canbe fatal.”Alcohol increases the risk of drowning byimpairing judgement, reducing coordination, anddelaying reaction time. The average bloodalcohol concentration of males who drowned witha positive reading of alcohol in their system wasalmost three times the legal driving limit. Thehighest blood alcohol concentration recorded wasten times the legal driving limit at 0.523.Mr Scarr continues, “Alarmingly, the males whoare drowning under the influence of alcohol aren’tjust having a drink or two, they’re significantlyinebriated. Alcohol increases the risk of drowningby impairing judgement, reducing coordination,and delaying reaction time.”Of the activities resulting in drowning deathswhile under the influence of alcohol, 41% were as

a result of jumping in, and 32% were due toaccidental falls into water.Rivers, creeks, and streams were the leadinglocation for drink drowning, accounting for 28% ofall male drowning deaths with a contributoryblood alcohol level.Most men who were drunk when they drownedwere with someone at the time. Royal Life Saving- Australia are urging men not to just stand by,but to call their mates out when they’re beingreckless around water.Mr Scarr advises, “Leave the booze until safelyaway from the water, look out for your mates andpull them into line if they’re under the influenceand thinking about doing something recklessnear water such as swimming or boating. You willliterally save their life.”Royal Life Saving recommends the followingsafety tips to keep your mates safe aroundwaterways:1. Avoid entering the water after drinking alcohol.2. Know your limits.3. Never swim alone.4. Learn how to resuscitate.Learn more atwww.royallifesaving.com.au/lookoutforyourmates
