Inside this issue
The BugleThe BugleThe BugleThe Bugle Kiama’s petrol solution What a difference a year
makes. By early 2015,
Kiama township will have
30 petrol pumps and eight
diesel pumps to fill up at,
a dramatic increase on the
number available at the
beginning of 2014.
It’s only a short time ago
that encouraging a new pet-
rol retailer was a priority for
Kiama Council. It went to
the extent of having consult-
ants assess potential sites,
looking to fast track a DA.
People power prevented
the preferred site at North
Bombo from going ahead.
The breakthrough has
come in two ways. Firstly,
with the retirement of Fred
Addison last year, things
began to change at Addi-
son’s Garage. And then
Glen Fulton Motors reacti-
vated its existing right of
usage to sell petrol on the
site of an old service station
in Collins St.
In its heyday of petrol re-
tailing, when the highway
went right through Kiama,
there were 13 (or 11) petrol
stations in the Kiama Muni-
cipality (depending on who
you talk to). Fultons simply
put the bowsers back in
position and started selling
petrol mid-year.
In the meantime, the
Addison family had begun
a major redevelopment
where around $1 million
is being invested in new
underground fuel tanks,
bowsers and the reconstruc-
tion of the forecourt.
While still under the
ownership of the Addison
family, their garage is
managed by well known
local Craig Bowles.
The historic exterior, built
by Fred in 1952, will remain
as it is the only petrol station
of its era still standing that is
in original condition.
Now that the two enor-
mous fuel tanks are in, the
forecourt area is expected
to be finished by the end
of October. In a line leading
from the awning, there will
be two groups of petrol
bowsers with eight hoses
each to carry the four grades
of fuel and a six hose diesel
bowser carrying standard,
premium and blue.
“We’ll still have driveway
service for those who rely
on it,” says Bowles, “but
the automated self-serve
functionality will make it
quicker for everyone.”
Afterhours, there will be
a facility to pay by card.
While they are still await-
ing council approval for
aspects of other stages, it
is hoped that all of the work
will be finished by the end
of the year.
The tank being installed
in the photo (one of two) is
a 90,000 litre multi compart-
ment dual walled fibreglass
fuel tank, made at Tomago,
near Newcastle, to a high
standard of vapour control.
Meanwhile, Glen Fulton
has recently sold its service
station activities to Sateesh
Muvva’s Enhance Petrol-
eum. Enhance already owns
the two petrol stations in
Gerringong, and has been
interested in establishing
a second petrol station in
Kiama for some time.
“We are very happy to
have the opportunity to
grow this site, which is in
such a convenient location
in the heart of town,” says
Muvva.
A large convenience store
is being constructed on the
site at the moment, and it
will be fully open in late
October. The business will
be open for extended hours,
yet to be set.
Enhance has been operat-
ing in Gerringong for six
years, and has other outlets
in Sydney. It has plans to
redevelop the Belinda St site
once the highway construc-
tion is completed.
End of an era
For those of you who have
always wondered what
Fred kept in those sheds,
you’ve now got a chance
to join in what might be
the biggest garage sale
ever. Items are being pre-
viewed on facebook.com/
pages/Addisons-Garage-
SHED-Cleanout, some with
an inspection time, before
they are listed on ebay
for sale - seller’s name is
addosshedmaster. A convenience store is being built as part of the Enhance business

The Sydney Comedy Festival
is finishing its 2014 Show-
case tour with a final hurrah
in Wollongong.
Each year the Showcase
hand-picks the funniest and
freshest acts of Sydney’s
biggest annual comedy
event and squeezes them
into one hilarious night of world-class comedy,
delivered around the country!
With a cavalcade of comedians to tickle every-
one’s funny bone, this is the best value ticket in
town. And they will be so pleased it’s the last night
of the tour...
Not really recommended as a family night, as
it’s bound to contain adult themes and coarse
language.
Details: Fri 17 Oct 7.30pm, $35 plus booking fee
Illawarra Performing Arts Centre, 32 Burelli St
Vince Jones Live in the Gong The very talented Vince Jones

night soon, playing with his

ionally renowned as a vocalist,
trumpeter and songwriter,
Jones will perform a cross-
section of songs from his 40
year career.
Hailed as Australia’s leading jazz vocalist, Vince Jones,
is also a remarkable interpreter and composer of songs
in a contemporary jazz style – a style that appeals equally
to listeners and his musical peers.
Adult: Sat 18 Oct 8pm
Illawarra Performing Arts Centre, 32 Burelli St
$45 plus booking fee. Concessions available.

St, Alexandria,
New Roo Theatre show It Runs In The Family is a
classic Ray Cooney farce.
People who should never
meet are brought together
as quickly as possible with
chaotic results, such as cross
dressing, which threaten to
go out of control at any moment.
It uses sexual innuendo, mistaken identity and physical
comedy. These are ordinary people in extraordinary situa-
tions. Very reminiscent of the Carry-On series of movies.

Opera in the Valley The Jamberoo branch of the Country Womens’ Associa-
tion wants you to save the date of Saturday 1 November
for its annual Opera in the Valley concert.
Held at the School of Arts in Jamberoo, the evening will
feature new, vibrant young artists.
Details: Tickets available from the Visitors Centre
and Elders Jamberoo. $45.
Bach without distractions Don’t miss the opportunity to hear two of Australia’s
leading cellists play in the intimate setting of Christ
Church, the little white church at the end of Terralong St.
Rachel Scott devised the idea of Bach in the Dark after
an experience when children helped her rediscover the
joy of concentrating solely on the purity of the music by
closing down your other senses.
At this concert she is being
joined by her former teacher,
David Pereira.

Latest on Kiama’s Hollywood legend
Until Catherine Martin won her 4th Oscar
for her work on The Great Gatsby,
Kiama’s own Orrey Kelly held the record
for the most number of Academy Awards
won by an Australian.
Kelly was a giant in Hollywood’s hey-
day in the Forties and Fifties, yet many
Australians don’t know of his achieve-
ments in costume design and his colourful
personal life.
This is about to change with a 95 minute
cinema documentary, directed by Gillian
Armstrong and produced by Damien Parer,
bringing him to people’s attention.
Parer reports that the film is a month off
being finished, and is due for release in the
middle of 2015. Its title, Women He’s Un-
dressed, is a play on the title of his tell-all
autobiography, which is being published
for the first time next year by Random
House.
Kelly was responsible for the costumes
in iconic films such as Casablanca,
An American in Paris, The Maltese Falcon
and Some Like It Hot. He died in 1964.
The film will tell his story through
archivial footage, interviews and recreat-
ions, and shed light on his close relation-
ship with Cary Grant.

After eleven years, Council
has passed over the role
of manager of the Produce
Market to HiViz Events
Management & Promotions.
Owned by Claire Roberts
and Kerrie Humphrey,
HiViz is looking to intro-
duce more home grown and
handmade products to the
stall mix, to have it reflect
the ‘grow it, sew it, make it,
bake it’ philosophy.
Claire says their first
weekend as managers
(in September) went really
well. “It was such a busy
weekend in town anyway,
with the school holidays,
the folk festival and Second-
hand Saturday,” she says.
“We are very happy with the
extra stallholders we have
been able to attract already.”
While she doesn’t believe
it is realistic to expect that
everything at the market
will be made locally, Claire
is keen to encourage local
producers and transition the
stallholder mix to incorpo-
rate more sustainable, eco-
friendly and crafty stalls.
“Our market will find its
own unique niche,” she
says.
Council’s role as manager
of the Produce Market led
many to believe the Wed-
nesday Farmers’ Market
was also Council driven.
In contrast to the Produce
Market, the Farmers’ Mar-
ket is run by a not-for-profit
association formed specifi-
cally to promote food pro-
duction in our region.
It is differentiated from
the Produce Market not only
in this way, but also in its
weekly scheduling and its
entirely food focus.
“We were asked to submit
a tender to run the Produce
Market, but wanted to re-
main a true farmers’ mar-
ket,” explains chair Fiona
Weir Walmsley. “To do
this, our market would have
had to commit to the market
going weekly on Saturdays,
as well as Wednesdays, and
being all about food.
“We decided to concen-
trate on making our existing
weekly market better and
better.”
HiViz also has a DA in to
establish an evening market
at Shellharbour, opposite the
cinema.

With Kiama having such a love affair
with its canine residents, it’s only
fitting that it was chosen as the ideal
venue for a four day workshop focusing
on a relatively new photographic niche
– pet photography.
The workshop, organised by two of
Australia’s leading pet photographers,
Ruth O’Leary and Charlotte Reeves,
featured a guest expert from the US,
and attracted photographers from
around the country and overseas inter-
ested in developing their techniques
for capturing the personalities of dogs.
“Dogs play an important part in peo-
ple’s lives,” says Ruth. “It shouldn’t
be surprising that people want to have
professional portraits done of them.
“It is not only expertise with the
camera that makes a good pet photog-
rapher - it also requires a genuine
affinity with animals and an ability
to develop a rapport quickly.”
Photo shoots were held at Primbee
Jetty and Bombo Headland (above),
as well as onsite at the venue, using
professional model dogs (of course).
Visit www.ruthlessphotos.com to
see more examples of Ruth’s award
winning work.

There was a time when almost every person
in Gerringong was involved with the Red
Cross. While the numbers have dropped
off since the Second World War, the local
branch is still going strong and celebrating
its Centenary.
Poignantly, the Gerringong Red Cross
still meets in the historic Soldiers’ Memor-
ial Hall in Belinda St (detail above).
If your family was part of this history,
you’re invited to an Afternoon Tea for
former members and families.
Please bring any photos, mementos along
to share your memories.

The young people of Kiama are putting on
an afternoon of music and solidarity for
people with mental illness – and they want
you to come along and show your support.
It is a sobering statistic that one in four of
us will suffer from some form of mental
illness over the course of a year.
October is Mental Health Awareness
Month, a time reflect on how we can pro-
mote mental health and wellbeing within
our community and work to destigmatise
sufferers so they will seek help to get well.
The North Kiama Neighbourhood Centre
and Kiama Youth have organised a Beat da
Blues concert and expo in Hindmarsh Park
as part of the month long focus.
You are invited to come along and enjoy
the music of local performers – everything
from funk, reggae and indie – so you can
show them the issues matter to you too. The
musicians are mostly Kiama High students.
There will be stalls and show bags full of
goodies to promote mental heath strategies.
Sitting in a park, enjoying the day with
family and friends isn’t too hard an ask.
And your presence will make an impact as
a sign of community strength.
You might just learn something that helps
you.

Hot summer expected With the end of Daylight Saving comes the beginning
of the statutory Bush Fire Danger Period across NSW.
However Kiama has been amongst one-third of the
State that commenced its danger period earlier due to dry
conditions.
The Bureau of Meteorology says the outlook through to
December indicates warmer than normal temperatures for
the entire State. The recent 34C day in September bears that
prediction out.
Fines for reckless behaviour during the bushfire period
have increased, with the penalty for discarding a lit
cigarette during a total fire ban now standing at $1320.
The Bush Fire Danger Period for NSW ends on Tuesday
31st March 2015.
What’s your favourite place? Kiama Library is running its annual photographic comp-
etition, and this year the theme is ‘My favourite place’.
No matter where it is that you feel at ease, comfortable
and happy, they want to see a photo of it. The only provi-
sio is that it needs to be recent, and taken in Kiama.
Only 8x10 prints will be accepted, either colour or black
and white. All entries will be exhibited in the Library.
Entries in the competition will add to the Library’s Image
Collection, which aims to help document our region.
Details: Entries close at 5.30pm on Fri 31 October.
Application forms available at the Library.

Kiama’s Melissa Tierney
has been named as a NSW
finalist for a Pride of Aust-
ralia Medal.
The awards seek to recog-
nise ordinary Australians
who go above and beyond
what is expected of them
by their community.
On this criteria, Melissa
certainly qualifies. Only 19,
Melissa she has already
raised over $60,000 for the
Disability Trust and has
established the Music Mak-
ers – a safe and caring net-
work of friends for parents
and family members of
people with a disability.
Because of Melissa, the
families now have a strong
network of people who can
share the worries, frustra-
tions and joys of raising a
child with a disability.
Melissa was the 2011
Kiama Youth of the Year.
Not resting on her laurels,
she took up another cause
and raised $5000 to create a
special place at Wollongong
Botanical Gardens, for par-
ents who have lost a baby.
She was named i98FM
Local Hero of the Year in
2013, and raised $10,000
to help Dexter, a local boy
with cerebral palsy, vision
impairment and more.
Earlier this year she was
crowned Kiama Show Girl,
and has become the driving
force behind the Doing it
for Dexter renovations,
which are rallying the
community to build a dis-
ability friendly house for
his family.
Once can only wonder
what Melissa will achieve
with the rest of her life.
Teaching them when to go Parents with young child-
ren are invited to come and

With a sold out first event, Gerringong is clearly waiting for nights like the Gerringong Live’s
Beats n Eats. The event brought out all ages and new faces to the social scene. The reviews
have been fabulous and the town is still talking about how much fun it was to come together
to enjoy the fine food, live music and great company of the local community. The hard work-

Postcard home Adventures in technology As one of the few areas to be largely connected to the NBN by fibre optic,
it’s time we made use of it in a productive way – not just regard it as an
entertainment tool. Future editions of The Bugle will include things we’ve
found interesting – be they websites, apps or trends.
36 hours in Paris En route to the south west of France for a friend’s 40th birthday celebrations
(as you do), there was a short window of time to spend in Paris. About 36
hours in fact.
Being a bit food-obsessed and loving fresh, seasonal and local produce (I run
Foodscape Tours on the South Coast), it had to be a food-focused window of
time. And my main goal was to visit Ladurée, the home of the macaron!
With the weather warm and sunny, the best way to explore this amazing
city was to don the walking shoes and take in the sights by foot.
The first afternoon was spent walking along the Seine toward Notre Dame
then taking a left to walk the length of the beautiful Boulevard St Germain.
The following morning began at Les Marché des Enfants Rouges, one of the
more atmospheric of Paris’s food markets. Next I headed toward the Louvre
and the Tuileries Garden, and then along the famous Avenue des Champs
Elysées to Ladurée.
The 45 minute queue was worth the wait when walking inside this macaron
mecca. In addition to these little morsels (bought a box as a gift for a friend –
and one for me - just under A$24 per gift box of 6 ), I just had to have a
pastry. By this time late in the afternoon it was my birthday back home in
Australia so I settled on the St Honoré cake with apple.
Then I took my little bag of goodness to the Trocadero Gardens where I sat
and ate looking at the Eiffel Tower across the river. Bliss.

Evernote is consistently recommended as
one of the most useful apps around. If you
aren’t using it yet, then there are lots of
reasons why you should.
It allows you to save notes, webpages,
photos, files, handwriting notes, audio
recordings, videos and more to folders.
It is so ingenious that when you take
photos of documents, it recognises them as
such and digitises them so that the words in
the text are included in its search function.
It even recognises when the text is a rec-
ipe, and files it automatically in the recipe
folder (if you have one).
It can be synchronised across your
devices, so that you can, for example,
create a document on your computer (be it
a shopping list, contact details or a picture
of warranty details) and it will be accessible
on your tablet or phone.
You can share your notes across face-
book, twitter, linkedin etc, or set up shared
notebooks so that you can work with col-
leagues on the same documents.
There are premium features that give
even more functionality, but the free ver-
sion has so many features you probably
won’t need more.
As with all these apps, the best way to
discover their advantages is to sign up for
a free account and then play around.
There are many add-ons you can
download which have special features that
might suit your needs.
Most people find Evernote easier to use
than google docs, as the interface is intui-
tive and doesn’t force you to change the
format.

more.
