Inside this issue
Local pro-surfer Dean Bowen
is behind the revamp of the old
Stella’s site on Surf Beach into
Kabari Bar. In partnership with
his surfing buddy John West,
who has twenty years’ experi-
ence in hospitality, both in
Sydney and the Illawarra,
Bowen is enthusiastically work-
ing to give the prime Surf
Beach venue a new lease of life.
Having grown up in Gerroa
(next door to Sally Fitzgibbon),
gone to school in Kiama and
travelled the world on the pro-
surfing tour, Bowen has a clear
idea of the kind of place they
are aiming to create. Add into
the mix West’s experience and
Bowen’s popularity on social media and
you can see they will shake things up.
Rather than be defined as just one thing,
the venture will offer a range of eating and
drinking styles, including a cocktail bar,
kiosk, restaurant and cafe. If things keep
running to plan, the Kabari Bar will have its
soft opening in mid-Sept.
“We’ve got a great spot
here, on Kiama’s only
fully patrolled beach,”
says Dean.
“We want it to regain
its iconic status as a great
place to come and relax
with friends.”
Kabari will fill a gap by
being a place that embod-
ies the South Coast’s great surfing culture
and relaxed lifestyle.
The outside of the building reflect that,
with a new look courtesy of an artists’
collective called the LA Division, started
by Kiama local Luke Wynn, now an artist
at Mambo.
The coffee is being sourced from the
award winning The Grounds of Alexandria
and the gelato from The Pines Kiama.
“We are really keen to support local food
producers,” says John. “People visiting
our area and locals alike want to be able
to enjoy the best our area has to offer.”
They have recruited a team
of kitchen and floor staff and
are busy working on creating
a strong service mentality.
Kabari is the latest in a series
of new or revamped eateries
in Kiama, including Cargos
becoming Hunky Dorys, the
Harbourside Brighton becom-
ing El Corazon and Beach &
Bush Gallery becoming Milk
& Honey, as well as newcomers Licked
and The Brooding Italian.
In addition, the Kiama Golf Club is
undertaking major renovations and the
function room upstairs in the Jones’ Beach
group of shops is under renovation to
become a bar & grill.
Watch this space: Kabari raises the bar The revitalising of Kiama’s iconic venues continues, this time right on the beach
Dean Bowen is turning the Stella’s
site at his old surf patrol beach
into a South Coast ‘must do’
In case you’re
wondering, the name
Kabari pays homage
to Dean and John’s
favourite surfing
break in Indonesia
and translates to
the Wedge.
Welcome to The Bugle! We’re excited to introduce you to The Bugle,
a fortnightly round-up of what’s happening in our
region. Put simply, The Bugle is a celebration of
the people and places of the upper South Coast.
It has its genesis in the Beachside Bugle, published
monthly by the Little Blowhole Café for the last
five years. During this time The Bugle built a loyal
following due to its engaging style, reliability as
an information source, local focus and entertaining
content. But with so much going on, we’ve decided
to go fortnightly and increase our distribution to
cover the whole Kiama Municipality.
We want to help strengthen our community and
encourage you to get out and get involved.
This is your paper and we encourage your contri-
butions, whether they be news ideas, photos, club
news, postcards home, wedding photos and event
notifications. By making The Bugle a ‘must read’,
it will be a great place to advertise your local
business. Contact us via [email protected]
or phone Cathy on 0412 415 101.

Free workshops for tourism operators A series of free workshops
are being held in Kiama
to support the development
of the our local tourism
industry.
Local tourism businesses
and marketers from across
the Illawarra and South
Coast are invited to partici-
pate in this Destination
NSW initiative as a chance
to develop their knowledge
of the industry and to hear
from experts on growing
and nurturing their busi-
nesses.
The first workshop, on
Monday 8 September at the
Sebel Harbourside Kiama,
will concentrate on the ins
and outs of the Regional
Visitor Economy Funding
program, the second will
help businesses understand
what types of research are
available and the final date
will be a Regional Confer-
encing Business Workshop
to help understand different
conference market sectors.

Interested in a matter being discussed at
Council but can’t attend the meeting?
Are you aware you can watch the meetings
on-line, either live or after the event?
Given there isn’t much on TV any more,
monthly Council meetings might just be-
come regular viewing in your household.
The August meeting discussed matters
as diverse as the establishment of Kiama
as a refugee welcome zone, discussion of
the Centenary of ANZAC commemoration,
sunshades in Coronation Park and new
plans of management, as well as the usual
development approvals.
The next meeting is a Public Access
Meeting, where citizens are able to make
submissions to Council, on 16 September
at 5pm, with the Ordinary Council Meeting
happening at the same time the next day.
Static cameras show all of the councillors,
the Mayor and senior Council managers
throughout the proceedings. The quality of
the sound varies from speaker to speaker,
depending on the position of the micro-
phone, which can be a bit distracting.
Your viewing guide for the meeting is
the Ordinary Council Business Paper which
is the detailed agenda, released on the
website before the meeting (Meetings &
Committees> Business Papers). If you
miss the live broadcast of the meeting,
a recorded version is available online
within two days. By cross referencing to
the Business Papers, you can easily find
the section that interests you.
It is also now possible to organise to
engage in the public access process online.

Military history buffs will
be interested in a free talk
by Dr Michael Bendon, an
Australian maritime archae-
ologist, discussing how a
little flotilla of 20 tank land-
ing craft made a crucial con-
tribution to the 1941 Allied
Mediterranean campaigns.
Dr Bendon will discuss his
research on two British
WWII wrecks located off
the shore from Phalasarna,
a large maritime city in
Western Crete. The excav-
ation and survey of these
craft has revealed the critical
part this particular vessel
type played in the saving
of many thousands of
Commonwealth troops from
capture or death.
His book, The Forgotten
Flotilla, will be available for
purchase.

Discovering WWII’s Forgotten Flotilla
Livening up Gerringong Not too long ago, five
women (and one easy going
husband) from Gerringong
decided to do something to
encourage more live music
in our area. Their solution
was to band together to form
Gerringong Live Inc, a non-
profit organisation dedicated
to providing more opportu-
nities for live music events
by visiting and local artists.
“We are all passionate
about live music, good food
and good wine, and agreed
Gerringong was missing
opportunities to hold live
music events as artists tour-
ing the east coast continually
bypass our town,” explains
Rachel Jackson.
She cites the example of
towns like Milton being able
to attract big name artists,
often doing side shows foll-
owing festival appearances.
“It shouldn’t mean that we
don’t have access to events
like these just because our
communities are too small to
make it feasible as a money
making venture.”
With backgrounds in hos-
pitality, events management,
project management, styling,
music and marketing,
the members of Gerringong
Live are each able to bring
their own skills to the effort.
The group sees the devel-
opment of the live music
scene in Gerringong as a
great way to bring the com-
munity together by encour-
aging shared experiences.
“We also want to make sure
local artists, established and
up and coming, are encour-
aged,” says Rachel.
The early sell-out of their
first event, Beats n Eats,
shows they have struck a
chord with the local commu-
nity. To be held on 20 Sept-
ember at the newly renov-
ated Gerringong Town Hall,
the event will feature
festival favourite Newcastle
band Benjalu, with its blend-
ed folk, roots and reggae
style, and the harmonies
of the newly formed Penny
Hartgerink Trio. The night
will feature a shared table
dinner, followed by dancing.
Community support for
the initiative has been
strong, with real estate
agents, butchers, local build-
ers, solicitors, florists and
even a local timber retailer
helping out to make their
first night something Gerrin-
gong won’t forget.
“Everybody seems to
recognise what a great
opportunity a night like this
is to connect with the local
community, so its no sur-
prise that when we asked for
support they were keen to
help out,” says Rachel.
“We love that it is bringing
the community together.
The committee plans to
regroup after this first event
to consider future music and
food possibilities.
The people behind Gerringong Live: Jeana O’Toole, Melissa Andrews, Rachel Jackson and Andrew
Jackson. Other members are Melissa Bailey and Clare Brooks.
Join in Kiama’s first Lantern Festival Kiama’s sister city status
with Vietnam’s ancient
city of Hoi An will be
celebrated at a special
Kiama Farmers’ Market
at the end of September.
Hoi An, a UNESCO
World Hertiage cultural
site, is an exceptionally
well-preserved example of
a traditional Asian trading
port. Its lifestyle, religion,
customs and cooking have
been preserved and many
festivals take place.
Amongst other things,
Hoi An is famous for its
lantern festivals. While it
won’t be a full moon down
for this first festival, there
will be lots of lanterns,
donated to Kiama by Hoi
An, and fun activities.

Busy time on Blowhole Point The first steps in the long awaited redevelopment of the
Kiama Harbour and Blowhole Point precinct are being
rolled out over the off-season.
Last year Kiama Council received a $400,000 grant
from the Federal Government’s Regional Development
Australia Fund to assist with its $3.4 million masterplan
for the area. The masterplan includes new roads and car
parks, a 350 metre harbourside walk, a viewing platform
and playground.
New toilets have already been constructed near the
Scout Hall and the amenities building at the Rock Pool
is closed until November for renovation.
Also being constructed during the colder months is a
change to the traffic flow system around the edge of the
Harbour. The road out to the Rock Pool and Fish Market
is being made one way, with returning traffic being drawn
up to join the road coming back from Blowhole Point.
The changes will make the road out to the Pool much
safer, given its narrowness and the number of pedestrians
using it. The new road will be open before summer.

We help put the pieces of the
property puzzle together.
We are experienced in

that your most valuable assets
are in qualified hands with
personal care from start to finish.

Following its successful
launch last year, Kiama’s
Folk by the Sea Festival
is back bigger and better
this year.
With 180 artists perform-
ing in 70 concerts over three
days, at a variety of ticketed
and free events, there’s
every reason to get involved.
Choose from traditional
folk, world, roots, Celtic,
bluegrass and gypsy music,
with two nights of bush
dancing to get you on your
feet. Headline acts include
Damien Leith, Mick Con-
way and Beth Patterson
from the US.
The Festival is in the
experienced hands of the
Illawarra Folk Club, which
has organised the Illawarra
Folk Festival at Bulli for
thirty years in 2015.
They are very pleased
with the initial response to
this new event, which builds
upon the Folk in the Foot-
hills held at Jamberoo Lodge
for a number of years.
The Festival kicks off
on Friday evening, with a
bush dance, concerts and
an open session. Saturday
is a full day ticketed event
at the Showground Festival
Precinct, with concerts,
spoken word events, work-
shops, dances and sessions
in six venues. The exception
is a free morning concert at
the Little Blowhole Café.
On the Sunday there are
free concerts in Hindmarsh
Park and later at the Kiama
Leagues Club. As befits a
‘real’ festival, there is camp-
ing at the Showgrounds.
Details: 26-28 Sept at ven-
ues based around the Kiama
Pavilion, inc the Rugby Club
& the Uniting Church Hall.
Folk by the Sea: music for all
American Beth Patterson and Damien Leith are headline acts at
this year’s Festival.
Encouraging research points to lower underage drinking The Kiama Stop Underage Drinking Project welcomes
new findings from the 2013 National Drug Strategy
Household Survey which demonstrate less young people
are drinking alcohol.
The age at which Australians are drinking their first
alcohol drink is being delayed – from 14.4 years to 15.7
years over the last ten years. Furthermore, the proportion
of 12-17 year olds choosing not to drink has increased
from 64% to 72% since the last survey three years ago.
Kiama Council is trialling a free drop-off of bulky waste
not accepted at the usual kerbside pick-up, such as
mattresses, wardrobes, computers and whitegoods.
The event runs for two weeks and drop-off times are
available between 8am and 4pm until 14 September.
To participate, you will need to book a day and a time
either online at www.kiama.nsw.gov.au or by calling
4232 0444. There is a quantity limit equivalent to a stan-
dard box trailer or standard utility (maximum 2m3), with
only one booking per household. Proof of residence will
be required on drop-off at Minnamurra Recycling Facilty.
The following items will not be accepted:

Second year drama student
Charlotte Day is still on a
high after having taken up
the opportunity to perform
at the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival in August.
Each year Edinburgh hosts
the largest performing arts
festival in the world, and
this year’s had the extra
boost of coming right after
the Commonwealth Games
in nearby Glasgow. With
370 acts to choose from,
competition for audiences is
very tough and performers
becoming walking bill-
boards during the day to
attract a crowd.
With nine fellow students
from the Sydney Theatre
School, Charlotte performed
in Shakespeare’s Measure
for Measure for a week.
Organising the theatre space
was made possible by the
crowd sourcing website
Pozzible, where people
pledge small amounts to
make big things possible.
“It was amazing to go to
Edinburgh at this early stage
in my career,” she says.
“We got to see so much
theatre in such a short time
– it was very inspiring.”
Charlotte, who’s mother
is a cousin of Australian
theatre doyen Nancye Hayes
(so the theatre is clearly in
her blood), can’t wait to go
back.
“Being surrounded by so
many people who were just
as enthusiastic about theatre
as I am was amazing. We
just got each other.”
Until now, it has been
Charlotte’s brother Ali Day
who has been in the spot-
light, with his achievements
on the professional ironman
circuit. Given the glint in his
sister’s eye, it won’t be that
long before people are refer-
ring to him as her brother
rather than her as his sister.
Her next role will be in
Brezhnev’s Children.

This being my first trip to New York, I was pleasantly
surprised to find that the Empire State Building (ESB)
seems to follow you around Manhattan. A glimpse
of the famous building when I wasn’t expecting it
always brightened my day.
I’d been given the latest trend in New York sightsee-
ing advice — don’t do the ESB, go to Top of the Rock
(30 Rockefeller Plaza) instead. However, my An Affair
to Remember sentiments were instilled from an early
age by my mother, who took the extra step of compel-
ling my brother and me to learn and perform a song
from the film — Tomorrow Land.
Had we known then that the song would haunt us
well into adulthood, still demanded at many a family
occasion, we might not have been so willing to learn
all the words. Nevertheless, when my brother, Alex
surprised me with a visit in New York — we ventured
up the ESB together, and yes, there is Go Pro footage
of us singing Tomorrow Land at the top.
As for my preference between the two vantage
points, my advice is to do both. You get a spectacular
view of the City either way but they differ enough that
you won’t be disappointed. This shot is from the ESB.

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 a passive
entertainment tool. Future editions of The Bugle will include things we’ve
found interesting – be they websites, apps or trends.
Hands up who has a drawer
full of pages torn from mag-
azines, with recipes, deco-
rating ideas, gardening tips
and so on. Pretty sure we all
do. But how do you find the
one you are looking for?
Pinterest applies technol-
ogy to this old habit to take
it to another level. Likened
to putting something you
like on a pinboard, Pinterest
is a way of ‘pinning’ articles
from the internet by choos-
ing an image from the page
to jog your memory.
You can establish ‘boards’
that reflect your interests -
recipes, gardening, exercise,
travel, history, craft, cars,
technology, music or teach-
ing resources – and when
you come across a page that
you want to keep you can
pin that page to one of your
boards for future reference.
When you want to go to that
page again, you just click on
the pin and it takes you
there. It is really a way of
bookmarking, using images
as visual reminders of why
you clipped them.
But you aren’t on your
own. Everything that every-
one around the world pins
automatically goes into
the feed so that others can
benefit from you finding
something interesting.
You are encouraged to
‘follow’ the boards of others
who share your interests,
and people will follow you.
You can follow your favour-
ite designers, musicians,
businesses, museums or
causes
If you connect up with
your real friends you can
share your new finds with
them, and see which ones
they repin.
If you are trying to find
something you pinned in a
hurry, you can do a word
search and find it in an in-
stant. The search can be
limited to your boards or
widened to the whole of
Pinterest if you are looking
for something new.
If you want to stop people
having access to your pins
on a certain subject (eg.
wedding ideas, surprise
party planning, new baby
etc), then you can create a
private board and limit who
can see it.
Women are the greatest
users of Pinterest, as they
seem to instinctively under-
stand the concept. If you
take the time to choose a
few boards to follow from
the start, you’ll get a daily
feed of things that interest
you. It’s like getting a copy
of a favourite magazine that
understands your interests
each day.
There are Pinterest apps
for phones and tablets, and
you are able to pin photos
you take.
Warning, you can easily
get addicted.

Inspired by stillness
Photographer and blogger Kerrie Oliver finds the scenery around her home in
Kiama Downs a constant creative inspiration. She took this picture of Rangoon
Island at Minnamurra one morning when the stillness was tangible.
Through her lifestyle blog, Lloyd told George, she shares ideas on how to live
creatively in everyday living, and features unique stories on people embracing
the creative life. “I developed this space to recapture my own creativity and
share my daily inspirational finds,” she explains. She says her two young boys,
Lloyd and George, are constant reminders of the joy of creating with their
limitless imaginations. Visit www.lloydtoldgeorge.com.au to discover more.
