Gill joins Clarice as Tarago’s Hidden Treasures
Hidden Treasures is an annual initiative of the
Department of Primary Industries’ Rural Women’s
Network which recognises the outstanding efforts of
women volunteers in NSW and to promote the valuable
role of volunteering to the community. This important
tribute captures inspirational stories, documenting and
celebrating the unpaid work of women who are ensuring
the viability of so many important and crucial community
groups and charities such as emergency services, the
arts, environment, social justice, education and sport
organisation, and so many others within rural and regional
communities.
Please support our future fundraising efforts as we have
started from a $0 base however we do expect to raise
a significant amount of funds from local businesses and
the State Government. If you have any questions please
don’t hesitate to contact us and we will attempt to keep
you all updated with a monthly article in the Times.
In 2016 the Tarago Branch of CWA nominated Gill Shepherd
for the role and are delighted that this was accepted.
We now have two Hidden Treasures in Tarago with Clarice
Beileiter recieving this award on the inaugural role in
2010. You can read all the women honoured’s stories i on
the website http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/about-us/ruralsupport/rural-womens-network/hidden-treasures
Gill Shepherd (Tarago)
Gill was born on Canvey Island, England. She migrated
to Australia with her parents and two siblings when she
was five, settling in Albany, WA. Gill has always had a
connection with horses and to further her passion in
dressage, moved to Eastern Australia, settling in Canberra
in 1989.
Gill met her husband Neil in 1990 and in 1998 they
moved to a 27 acre property six kilometres outside
the Tarago Village. She soon became involved within
the community, volunteering time and energy to many
community activities in Tarago. She continues to work
tirelessly as secretary of Tarago Sporting Association
(TSA) and as a member of the Tarago & District Progress
Assocition Committee, the local Hall sub-committee and
the editorial team for the monthly newsletter, Tarago
Times. She is an active member of St Andrew’s Anglican
Church and a fire fighter in the Tarago Brigade of the
Rural Fire Service.
Tarago Men’s Shed
As advised in last months Times, a community meeting
to elect a new committee for the Tarago Men’s Shed was
held at the Hall on 20 November 2016. The meeting was
attended by 25 men from the district and the election
was chaired by Tom Frame. Election results were as
follows:
President Keith Hunter Vice President Robert Howarth
Secretary Lou Alaimo
Treasurer
Michael Vaughan
Committee Members:
Michael Coles, Keith Roach,
Denzil Sturgiss, Noel Sylvester
Nick Van Zomeren
It was pleasing to see a good cross section of men at
the meeting and we all look forward to representing
our community in the establishment of a Men’s Shed
in Tarago. An initial feasibility report for the Shed has
been written and is available at www.tarago.org.au. I
encourage anyone interested in the project to have a
read and, if you so desire, provide comments to any of
the committee members. We need your input to help
us develop a facility that meets the needs of the men of
our district.
The growing list of nearly 700 rural women volunteers is
a testament to the generosity and hard work of so many
women who are publicly appreciated by their community
as part of this project. We hope the annual Honour Roll
will improve recognition of the important and diverse
roles women volunteers play as key participants within
NSW rural communities and that their stories will
encourage others to take on volunteering roles.
Below is Gill’s entry on the roll written by Tarago CWA
members Jenny Hajek and Pam Hawke:

ACT for her work in the equestrian area during the 2003
bushfires. Gill has also established weekly yoga sessions
in the village. She was made an honorary member of the
Tarago Country Women’s Association (CWA) for a year in
recognition of her community work and she has continued
her membership. She currently holds the office of Vice
President. Gill is a certified saddle fitter and soft tissue
therapist for horses. She is also a school bus driver.
Her involvement in fundraising for the community is
ongoing and extensive, having recently compiled the CWA
recipe book, “A Taste Through Time” and assisted with the
local preschool’s recipe book, “A Taste of Tarago”. She
is our ‘Tarago Treasure’ and is seen as a great role model
for the young people who ride on the bus through her
positive, encouraging, diplomatic and discrete attitude.
She is always supportive and compassionate and ready to
help out in ways that people aren’t aware of. She says
she may be our ‘treasure’ but her husband Neil is her
‘treasure chest’.
In 2004 she was awarded Volunteer of the Year in the

Over the 2016 Christmas and 2017 New Year weekends Council
would like to advise that the Tarago Waste
Management Centre will be open:
Saturday 24th December 2016
from 8am to noon, 12.30pm – 4.00pm
Tuesday 27 December 2016
8.00am – noon
(to enable residents to dispose of their Christmas waste)
Saturday 31st December 2106
from 8am to noon, 12.30pm – 4.00pm
Normal opening hours will resume from 4th January 2017
please note council’s waste centres at Goulburn, Marulan and
Tarago are closed on all public holidays.
The importance of the ‘NOT SO CUTE & CUDDLY’
All our native animals have their individual part to play
in the scheme of things, and all are important. However,
because of the appeal of the more well known ‘furred,
cute & cuddlies’, it is easy for other creatures such
as bats and reptiles to be overlooked, indeed almost
forgotten. We should all be aware of the contribution
these ‘not so appealing’ creatures make towards keeping
our environment balanced and healthy, and give them
equal consideration. Some facts you may find interesting:
•All bats in Australia are native species – none of them
are introduced.
•There are two kinds of bats: large flying-foxes or fruiteating bats (often called megabats), and the small insecteating bats (often called microbats).
•Microbats eat a lot – up to three-quarters of their own
body weight in insects in a night.
•Bats are natural aerial acrobats! While most bats catch
insects in their mouths, they can also catch insects in
their wing membrane, flick them into the tail membrane,
and then grab them with their mouth, all while in flight.
•Blue-tongued lizard - the legs are small and can be
overlooked, meaning the harmless bluetongue, with
its large triangular head, is sometimes mistaken for a
Page 4
dangerous snake and inadvertently killed. As well as
eating vegetation the Blue-tongue eats insects, slugs and
snails – making it a valuable addition to a garden!
•Shingleback lizard - eats mostly vegetable matter,
together with some insects, spiders or scorpions. They
have a particular liking for flowers and will seasonally
gorge themselves on blossoms, particularly yellow ones if
given the opportunity. Almost unique in the lizard world,
shinglebacks find a compatible mate and then continue
to pair up with the same partner every spring for 20 or
more years.
As Christmas approaches we would like to remind
everyone that it can be a downside for our native animals
through increased traffic over the festive season, which
sadly means increased collisions with our wildlife. If you
are travelling during the holidays please watch out for
our native creatures, especially around daybreak and
dusk, so that both you and the animals stay safe. Should
you have the misfortune to collide with an animal, or
come across one that is injured or in distress (in the area
covered by our branch), please call our rescue number
– 4822 3888, our volunteers will be manning the phone
(24 hours a day, 7 days a week as they normally do, right
across the holiday period) and will be only too happy to
assist. If you need help outside our branch area please
ring the WIRES main rescue number 1300 094 737.
Our Christmas wish is for everyone to have a wonderful
Christmas and that we all, humans and animals alike,
stay safe to enjoy the coming New Year. Until next time
– take care all.

Work has begun on the Outdoor Gym equipment with the
preparation for the initial pieces which will be a stretch
station, push up bar and step up bar. This first stage will
cost around $8000 which is being funded by sponsorship
of $2000 from Heron Resources, $3000 from Infigen
Energy Capital Community Fund and $3000 from TSAI’s
general account.
It is this time of the year that I say a big thankyou to
everyone who helps with the running of the TSAI. We
couldn’t keep the Association running without you. So a
huge thank you to:
The Tarago Times Team, Maggie Corby, Linda Hallam,
Tracey Keenan and Sue Maas, and our courier
extraordinaire Geoff Malloy.
Our Friday night raffle ticket sellers, Howard Beileiter,
Geoff Burns, Kevin Gardner, Keith Hunter, Bob McDonald,
Roger McMahon, Mark Quinlan, Neil Shepherd and Ken
Vassel. And also to Clarice Beileiter and Chris Burns who
have filled in at the last minute many times. Also huge
thank you to our raffle prize courier Ken Wells and to
Mark and Nicole Ryan from the Loaded Dog Hotel who not
only provide the pub $35 voucher prize they also support
us by buying $30 worth of raffle tickets each week.
Then there is our trio of lawn mowers who keep our rec
area looking so good - huge thanks to Geoff Burns, Robert
Howarth and Keith Hunter and also to Graeme Evans who
does so much behind the scenes to help us out and to
Mark and Jack Quinlan who help keep the walking track
weed free which has been quite a challenge with this
years rainfall.
On the subject of weeds, many thanks to the Tennis court
weed sprayers, Robert Howarth, Howard Beileiter and
Denzil Sturgiss I know that you will be looking forward
to the courts being weed free with the upgrade that is
planned in the first quarter of 2017. A big thank you
to the Veolia Mulwaree Trust for approving our grant
applicaton for the courts upgrade.
Many thanks again also to the great band of volunteers
who helped us this year with the Toyota Landcruiser
Club Willowglen Challenge catering which is our annual
fundraiser.
All that remains is for me to invite you all to the TSAI
Christmas Party and this year being our 30th Birthday
party as well it will be quite a party. The party starts
at 4pm in the Tarago Park. Byo alcohol and a salad or
sweet to share, we will be providing the BBQ meat, cold
drinks, music and entertainment for the children and of
course Santa will be visting us with presents and there
will be the usual Ham and Turkey raffles. Have a very
Merry Christmas and a fantastic New Year.

HORTICULTURAL ADVICE
& GARDENING TIPS
Compiled by Wanda Egan
Dec ‘16
I have started to collect my poppy seed heads for next
year and to give away. I place the mature heads in a brown
paper bag and place in a dry, sunny and hot position for
a month. The seeds fall straight into the bag ready for
someone to receive. I also do this to my Wall flowers,
Aquilegia or Columbines to share around. Be sure to let
some self-seed back down to maintain plant numbers in
your garden.
Be sure to do some deep watering over the summer
period. Deep watering is much better than shallow
watering and helps reduce stress to the plants during dry
times. Move your pot plants to where they will get some
shade over the hot season. Your pots will need watering
almost every day as the weather heats up too.
Be sure to succession plant your favourite vegetables,
planting a new crop every couple of weeks. This will give
you a longer supply. Corn, lettuce, Asian greens are all
great examples. Liquid fertilise your vegetables every
2 weeks with worm juice, Seasol or a liquid seaweed
solution to help kick them along. If your coriander is
‘bolting’ to seed allow a few plants to set seed which
falls to the ground. I find that allowing them to do this
gives us and almost endless supply of fresh coriander all
year. We let the coriander grow where ever it chooses.
Cut back your bottle brush and other natives as the finish
flowering. This will make them bushier and not so leggy in
their growth habit. Also cut back lavender after this flush
of flowers. Cut Kangaroo paw flowers and take indoors
for a very long flower display.
Dead head roses and dahlias through summer to promote
longer flowering times and more flowers. Watch for
downy/powdery mildew on your roses, hydrangeas,
pumpkins, zucchini and cucumbers. These mildews will
kill your plants if it isn’t taken care of early. It will also
make your plants drop their leaves too. Your plants
need their leaves to make sugars to feed the fruit and
vegetables. Spray every 4 days with a milk spray. 10:1
water and milk.
Move any of your potted plants into a bit of shade before
the summer heat comes. They may still need to be
watered every second day or so and remember to liquid
fertilise these plants regularly (monthly) too.
Hold off transplanting any plants until late summer or
early autumn.
Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and a wonderful
New Year, cheers Wanda.

Revised date for TLG’s ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (AGM)
– for administrative reasons TLG’s AGM will now be
held on Saturday 4th February at 9.30am. Members and
supporters are invited to attend at the Tarago Community
Hall. Member fees are due before the AGM commences. A
short ordinary meeting will take place immediately after
the AGM.
In the meantime TLG’s Christmas/End of Year celebration
morning tree will be held at 9.30am on December 3rd
at Margaret & Michael Vaughan’s home. Members and
supporters are welcome to attend at 355 Coven Creek
Rd Lake Bathurst – participants are requested to bring a
plate.
News – While most landholders will find themselves
spraying weeds of one type or another this spring they
will also be aware of the high grass growth following
exceptionally wet seasons this year. Where that high
grass is growing around houses, sheds and other valuable
infrastructure and it cannot be consumed by stock or cut
for hay or silage land owners will want to at least slash it
to reduce potential bushfire fuel load. Those who intend
slashing need to keep in mind that this should not be
done in hot, windy weather – during those times there is
far higher risk of fire igniting dry grass when sparks flying
from slasher blades that strike rocks, old fence wire or
other hard objects.
A small garden planned for Tarago cemetery
TLG has been inspired by a request from Paul Beileiter
to make a garden plan and plant native flowering shrubs
in a small garden ‘for peace and reflection’ at Tarago
cemetery. The proposed project will see the garden
established between the presently separated two
sections of the cemetery. It will feature seating under
the existing, growing Plane trees and pedestrian gates
will be installed to enable people to access the garden
from each section and the carpark.
Shrubs will also be planted outside the western boundary
of the Roman Catholic section of the cemetery, and in
time more may be planted along other boundaries. TLG is
grateful for advice on colourful flowering plants suitable
for the garden received from Peter Campbell of Nirvalley
Nursery. Peter has also given TLG generous discounts on
the initial purchase of plants. The accompanying photo
to this article was of taken of TLG members Margaret
Vaughan and Jeanette Payne who were inspecting the
proposed small garden site at the cemetery.
Residents who wish to participate in planting or tending
the garden or who wish to know more details are invited
to contact one of TLG’s representatives listed below or
Paul Beileiter.
TLG welcomes new members with ideas and energy to
share. For information about Tarago Landcare Group Inc.

again with a $1000 cash prize for first place and 8 x $20
consolation prizes. Tickets will be available at the Tarago
Shop and The Loaded Dog next February as well as at

will again be paying the entry fee for learners who will
have a prize pool of about $600. Remember all entrants
get 2 free tickets to the Show and a free singlet. We
are also having the Ben Britton reptile show again thanks

Lisa Wilson, our new horse Chief Steward, has some
fantastic trophies and prizes for the horse events.
This year Lisa has included a FANCY DRESS EVENT and
a WORKING HORSE CHALLENGE which should provide
entrants and spectators some interesting new events.
Jean and John Hockey from Goulburn will again be running
the Dog Show at the Tarago Recreation Area. Full details
of the horse, dog and pavilion schedules, as well as other
Show information is posted on the website – www.tarago.
org.au. Schedules will be available soon from various
outlets including the Loaded Dog, The Tarago Shop,
Tarago Real Estate and some outlets around the district.
Show entry is still only $10 for adults, Concession $5
and children under 16 are free – great value for money
considering all of the free entertainment. Come along,
have a friendly and affordable day, and enjoy some good
food and entertainment that won’t kill the budget.
Remember, anyone interested in being a volunteer at
the Show please contact myself or one of the Committee
members ASAP. As a volunteer Show entry is free and
providing we can get sufficient volunteers then each
person only needs to do a couple of hours on shift at
the gate, stewarding at the horses, helping at the café
or with the shearing etc. Volunteers need to be over 12
years of age so they are covered by our insurance. If
you are new in the area and want to get involved in this
worthwhile venture please give me a call.
We have started some working bees to clean up the
showground and continue our maintenance program. If
you are available during the week or weekends to help
out please give me a call. Remember monthly meetings
are held at 7:00 pm at the ‘Dog’ normally on the first
Monday of the month. The next monthly meeting is on
Monday 5 December 2016 then Monday 2 January 2017.
All are welcome to attend. If you have any suggestions or
constructive criticism to improve the Show please don’t
hesitate to contact us.

sponsors there will be a champion ribbon and at least $25
prize money for the champion in each section. The junior

a Champion Junior Exhibitor trophy and $25 prize. .

Cookery Corner
Christmas Fare
With Christmas just around the
corner here are some quick and
easy recipes to help you prepare
for the festive season. All recipes are from “A Taste
Through Time: Celebrating 70 years of the Tarago CWA”.
Nom Balls
(a vegan and gluten free version of rum balls but so much
tastier)
Ingredients
1 pack of Leda Milk Arrowroot biscuits, crushed
1 can Pandaroo Sweetened Condensed Coconut milk
1 cup dessicated cocount and 1 cup extra for rolling
1/3 cup carob powder
The weather is improving for tomatoes, warmer days,
together with the occasional rain will have the tomatoes
zooming along in their growth.
Remove lower branches that are on the ground, so
diseases are not transferred to your plant from splashed
water. Continue feeding your plants weekly or fortnightly
with a weak liquid seaweed solution & if required, install
support stakes if you haven’t done already. A trellis can
also be a handy support for your plants. More slow release
fertiliser can be added in early summer, though do not
fertilise too much.
Tomatoes do have pests & diseases but these can be
reduced by removing infected leaves & ensuring the
tomato plant has room for air to circulate around it. Most
diseases come from the soil & this is why crop rotation is
important.
Don’t forget the Tarago Tomato Tourney at the Tarago
Show in March - see the flyer in this issue.
Until February’s issue, happy growing and for early
varieties, enjoy your crop over the December / January
period.

Alice Springs, ruins, and a
Break Down!
After four days in the Flinders Ranges, we set out again,
leaving behind the beautiful green of the Ranges in favour
of dead flat, Gibber Plains.
The Gibber Plains are an interesting aspect of the outback
that is often overlooked. These plains encompass wide
flat areas of sandy soil, densely sown with loose, gibber
rock, which flashes blindingly in the sun (making the
plains look really cool). I wish I could tell you more about
them, but I really don’t much more than that.
Farina ruins was where we camped that night. Farina is
a ghost town now, as its name suggests, but once upon
a time it was a thriving town in the middle of nowhere,
a hub of activity and an important railway location. It
once boasted an Anglican church, a Catholic church, a
mosque, a thriving Afghan and Indian population, and the
only doctor between Port Augusta and Darwin.
In 2009, restoration began on many of the ruined buildings
and it’s now a very popular camping ground for travellers.
We were lucky to arrive in the peak tourist season too,
for the 100+ year old bakery was recently restored to be
reopened in peak season. We were allowed to go into
the underground bakery, have a chat with the baker, and
then in the morning buy several loaves of freshly baked
white bread, still slightly warm (need I say how delicious
that was?). Let me just say, nothing beats bread freshly
baked in hot coals in an underground bakery!
After one night’s stay at Farina, we moved on through
Coward Springs (hot natural springs—heavenly), William
Creek (Australia’s smallest town, boasts five aircraft, a
pub and not much else), Strangways (a ruined telegraph
station, interesting history there), and Oodnadatta
(remember the Pink Roadhouse from the Nhulunbuy trip
last year?), to Alice Springs.
Since our Simpson Desert crossing had been foiled by the
strange amount of outback rain, we’d decided to centre
our trip around our time in the Flinders and the area
around Uluru. Unfortunately, we were going to get more
than we bargained for in Alice Springs.
After a long day of driving through on and off rain, we
crossed the Northern Territory/South Australian border. A
few hours after that we were finally cruising into Alice,
when the brakes on our 80 Series LandCruiser failed.
We managed to limp the 80 (in first gear), down Alice’s
main street, and then began searching desperately for a
mechanic who could tell us what was wrong. Things got
worse when the car started making awful grinding noises
and coasted to a less-than-graceful stop on the side of
the road. We called a tow-truck.
Then followed a frantic ten-minute scramble to get all of
the camping necessities out of the car, and finally here
we were—standing on the side of the road, stranded with
a pile of miscellaneous camping stuff, while Dad saw the
80 to the mechanic in his own car.
Page 12
http://www.tarago.org.au/tarago_community_times.php
Fortunately for us, another member of our group
came to our rescue, giving us a lift to our caravan
park, unfortunately (there seemed to be a lot of
those ‘unfortunately’s’ this trip!), we soon discovered
we’d left the three most important items in Mum’s 80
Series—namely my beanie, the hot chocolate and the
marshmallows. We weren’t given any definitive answers
as to what was wrong with the car, or how long it might
take to get it fixed, so we decided on a few activities to
keep us from getting bored in Alice Springs.
The first full day in Alice consisted of shopping—replacing
broken/lost tent pegs and swag poles, more groceries
and things like that. The next day was more exciting.
This consisted of a visit to the Alice Springs Desert Park,
which was definitely worth the visit! We watched a
spectacular bird show, the training and intelligence of
the birds that performed was remarkable. We also saw
a cultural show, in which an Aboriginal staff member
demonstrated a lot of local bush foods, Aboriginal history
and weaponry. The Desert Park also had a lot of animal
displays—dingoes, bilbies, numbats, snakes, fish and the
most stunning aviaries I’ve seen.
The next day was just as interesting. There was a visit
to a local bookshop, the Old Gaol, and Molly Clark’s
Pioneer Women’s Hall of Fame. Molly Clark was a tough,
pioneering woman of Australia’s outback. In 1946 she
married Malcolm Clark and moved to a cattle station
called Andado Station. Difficult, tragic years followed
for the Clark family, climaxing with the NT Government
forcing Molly to destroy her cattle. Malcolm had died
some years before, so Molly sold the station, though she
retained the homestead and continued to live on there,
often entertaining guests and travellers. Eventually,
poor health forced Molly to move to Alice Springs. Here
she turned her stubborn spirit to creating a memorial to
the pioneer women of Australia, who were (and still are),
so often overlooked in the annuals of our history.
Fortunately, we received news that the car would be
ready to move out in the morning. Our next stop would
be King’s Canyon and Uluru.

Joy took out the annual hat competition for the girls
this year with her colourful winning creation of assorted
iris’s and hellebores adorned over a wire flower basket
and attached under her chin with a big bow. Doug was
the winner for the men with his little umbrella behind
the ear even though it was conveniently borrowed from
Judy’s garden just in the nick of time! – We expect to see
more forward planning from the boys next year!

We did also find time to discuss our gardens, however
briefly, and found that while unfortunately the rain over
winter has provided our ever persistent weeds with even
more fuel, our gardens are quite lush and generally
flourishing.
Warren and Judy’s garden is in full flower at the moment
and as we wandered around the grounds chaperoned by
“Ozi” the border collie we were treated to a stunning
variety of iris’s, poppies, roses and aquilegias. We visited
the goats, sheep and alpacas and shared silver beet
plants and poppy seeds.

It’s almost Christmas, Santa is feeding up the reindeer
and has made arrangements for rest points at RFS sheds
across the country, and will use the local fire truck from
these stations while the reindeer prepare for the next leg
of their journey. We hope this is the only call out for our
trucks over the festive season.
If you are barbecuing over the holidays, make sure your
barbecue is clean, fat trays are emptied and that the
barbie is not located where a flare up could start a bigger
fire. Have you got a fire blanket and a small extinguisher?
These can be invaluable aids around the home, remember
to give the small extinguishers a shake up every so often.

Come Sin With Me
home or whatever, they were offered a chance but they
didn’t take it.
St John’s Orphanage was officially opened on the 12
March 1912. But began taking boys as young as 3 in 1910.
It was built to house around 100 boys. These numbers
rose above 200 boys during the war. This article is not
about the fires, the abuse or the planning submission,
but rather a home. Because that is what we all need
to remember whilst the life of this home hangs in the
balance. When many had nothing, the nuns gave these
children a place to call home and three meals a day, they
put them through schools and gave them the chance to
make a better life for themselves.
You may have your ideas on who started the fires, or the
reason behind them. But before the rest of the building
is burnt or destroyed, we the community need to stand
up for what we believe in and protect this home of many
boys. We need to realise that the preservation of history
is more important than the building of new things and
preservation is what will keep the memories of the “good
old days” alive. We need these historic places to exist so
that we can marvel at their grand old glory and tell our
children what happened there. We owe it to the children
who called it home and still call it home. We owe it to
the building, who took on so many young boys and turned
them into men. Something needs to change, if you agree
please sign the petition at:
St John’s Orphanage was a foundling orphanage meaning
that the child had one or more parents alive, but they
couldn’t afford to keep the child or the child was to hard
to handle. These children were often left on the front
door steps by parents or family members and the nuns
rarely turned anyone away. They did their absolute best
to keep brothers together whilst the sisters were sent to
Kenmore, yet on a rare occasion the nuns would permit
a few girls to live with their siblings. During the war the
nuns took on entire families. The orphanage ran at double
capacity during the war years. The food eaten by the
various boys and nuns, was more often than not donated
by people around Goulburn. The cows were milked twice
daily and the chickens had eggs collected.
There was once around 15 out buildings at St John’s,
sadly most of these are now long gone. The building ran
as a foundling orphanage for years, till it was turned
into institutional care, now known as foster care. It was
closed in 1979.
Youth With A Mission ran courses on Christianity in the
main part of the building. They moved out in 1997. Since
Youth With A Mission moved out the building was sold and
left to deteriorate.
Many teenagers found peace in smashing windows and
drawing on the walls, when one walked around the
buildings before the fire, they saw graffiti of every colour
and style. It seemed no one artist had done it all, but
rather a mix match of teens at different points in their
life. In the bottom room on the surviving side, you can
see the words through the smashed windows, “Come Sin
With Me”. Perfect words to use a title. A poem found
scribbled on the walls:
“Lost Sons, Killer Nuns
St John’s, St Johns
With its dirty rotten nuns,
Terrible, horrible, substitute mums”
Inside the home, you could see the remains of the
children’s presence, including cots, high chairs, trinkets
and various toys. Whether the children were always
treated correctly varies from who you speak with,
during some years it was hell, whilst during others it was
heaven. What you think about the level of care these
children receive is up to you. But for many it was a
chance that their parents couldn’t give them and many
took that chance and got to great places in their lives,
but others ether due to abuse or an experience at the

Tarago Times December 2016
As this is the last Tarago Times for 2016 and Christmas is
only weeks away, I would like to wish you all the very best
for the festive season and I look forward to continuing to
represent you during 2017 which I hope will be a fulfilling
one for us all.
Hello Everyone
Life as a Councillor continues to be very busy as we
continue to work on making our local government area
the best it can be. As well as attending Council Meetings
twice a month, I have been to several Outreach Meetings
and some workshops. I was also pleased to be able to
attend the Greyhound Club’s recent Luncheon and to
learn what an excellent racing facility we have and just
how important the race meetings are to the economy of
Goulburn. All concerned are very relieved to be “still in
business”.
Strategic Planning for our Region
Perhaps the most important work we are currently
doing is developing a Regional Community Strategic
Plan in conjunction with our neighbours Upper Lachlan
and Yass Valley. This plan will help us have a stronger
voice when State Government decisions are made about
regional planning and the funding to undertake the
related projects. We need to have a shared regional
vision that identifies what is important and necessary
for our communities to grow and thrive over the coming
20 years. This plan is based around 5 key areas –
Community, Environment, Economy, Infrastructure and
Civic Leadership.
Several community workshops have already been held
including one in Tarago on November 23. Unfortunately it
was very poorly attended but the few who were there did
manage to put some key points forward for consideration.
We defined what we like about Tarago and then tried to
match that to the bigger regional picture under the 5
key areas. We agreed that it is important to maintain
our rural village lifestyle that is currently affordable
and sustainable. We do have an active community but
we need to grow the active numbers, especially with a
focus on younger people who will become the community
leaders of tomorrow. We thought that some community
services could be based on a mobile model rather like the
The Big Read Bus that now brings the library to us.

matter please do so on 0419 683 548 or email denzil.

Paris Agreement ratified
Australia ratified the Paris Agreement on 10 November
2016; beating the United Kingdom, who followed suit by
signing a week later, but being left behind by China and
the US, who had both signed the Agreement beforehand.
The Paris Agreement’s central aim is to strengthen the
global response to the threat of climate change by
keeping a global temperature rise this century well below
2°C above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to
limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5°C.
Australia’s initial commitment is to develop and
implement an economy-wide target to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions by 26-28% below 2005 levels by 2030. Under
the Paris Agreement Australia also committed to the far
more ambitious global goal to hold average temperature
increase to well below 2°C, and to pursue efforts to keep
warming below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Australia’s national carbon footprint
According to the latest report by the Department of
Environment and Energy, Australia’s annual emissions
in 2015 were 535,700,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide
equivalent (tCO2e).
Infigen’s carbon footprint
While no net direct emission of greenhouse gases
result from power generation employing wind and solar
photovoltaic technology, there are emissions associated
with maintenance of the operational facilities and
corporate activities. Infigen’s direct or “scope 1”
emissions, including CO2 and sulphur hexafluoride (SF6),
occur from maintenance of turbines and high voltage
equipment, including from fuel used for transport onsite and operating circuit breakers. Indirect emissions
from consumption of electricity or “scope 2” emissions
occur from electricity used in wind farms and in site
offices. Infigen reports its scope 1 and scope 2 emissions,
in accordance with the National Greenhouse and Energy
Reporting legislation to the Clean Energy Regulator.
Infigen’s annual scope 1 and scope 2 emissions are
approximately 3,300 tCO2e. Of this amount, approximately
80% is offset by renewable energy generated by Infigen’s
wind farms. Infigen aims to reduce the remainder of its
emissions by 44% by 2025.

Sustainability Reporting
As ethical investment is gaining popularity amongst
investors and super funds, sustainability reporting
becomes more important to provide an insight in to how
companies assess and manage material impacts to the
environment, society and economy from its operations.
Sustainability reporting is not just about looking at the
positive achievements made during the reporting period,
but also considering areas of improvement and setting
goals for the future.
Infigen reported in its 2016 Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) Report on the following topics: People,
Safety, Economic Benefits, Environment, Action on
Climate Change, Our Communities, and Compliance. This
report is available online at http://infigenenergy.com/
esg. You can also request a hard copy to be delivered
within Australia if you contact [email protected].
Infigen’s ESG Report includes information about
complaints made during the 2016 financial year:
Additional 1800 number for Complaints line
One of the recommendations made in the “Wind
Farm Complaint Handling Bulletin” by the Wind Farm
Commissioner was providing an 1800 number for the
benefit of community members. Infigen set up an
additional toll free number: 1800 917 372. The previously
advertised (02) 8031 9947 number remains active.
Making a formal complaint
To make a formal complaint, please contact the dedicated
Operations Control Centre complaints line at the numbers

Friday, 28 October 2016 - Saturday, 3 December 2016
Different Cloth/Common Threads presents works
completed over the past couple of years by David Jensz
and Wendy Teakel. It explores the differences and common
ground within their established and unique approaches
to sculpture. Both repurpose materials. Jensz often
looks towards modular materials and is known for how
he shapes and manipulates unexpected ready-mades,
exploring the interconnected nature of energy, matter
and life. Teakel seeks to utilise the history of her found
materials and focuses on assemblage as her process,
questioning relationships between natural and cultural
spaces with particular reference to rural and landscape
settings.

Michelle Doherty - Goulburn Boys’ Home
Friday, 28 October 2016 - Saturday, 3 December 2016
Michelle Doherty is a photographic artist who reflects on
the concept of identity and place in her practice. While
living in Goulburn, she was drawn to the ecclesiastical
giant laid bare on the top of a hill. Shadows, the light
that played off broken glass and a sense of prescience
compelled her to look for the traces of home that remain
in a place left behind so long ago. Each time she visited
the foundling orphanage, it presented itself differently
– showing off its grand staircase proudly in the morning
sun and in contrast the primitive laundry and boiler room
a reminder of six decades worth of winters illuminated
through the tiny shards of light, surrounded by a
profound sense of belonging among sturdy blue spruce
trees. Where vandalism competed for pride of place,
she was compelled to look past the deterioration and
attempted to visually restore grace to the E.C Manfreddesigned architecture through a series of images before
the fire and since. The viewer is invited to look past the
destruction and find the subtle sense of composure that
remains in Goulburn Boys’ Home.

What a life! Rock Photography by Tony Mott
Friday, 9 December 2016 - Saturday, 28 January 2017
Australia’s premier rock photographer, Tony Mott, has
captured all aspects of the rock’n’roll lifestyle through
his camera lens. An untrained photographer, he got his
break with a photograph of Chrissy Amphlett, lead singer
of Divinyls. Mott went on to have over 30,000 photographs
published in 20 countries and his images have appeared
on 400 posters and the covers of 500 CDs and more than
900 magazines. Mott was the photographer bands asked
for and his portfolio features everyone from the Rolling
Stones to members of the local independent band scene.
From candid portraits to awe-inspiring live shots, Mott
has a unique ability to connect with his subject.

HANDY AND HELPFUL HINTS Photography and Planning for Brides
The Tarago Times Team would like to draw to your attention that the contents of this column is reproduced here as
entertainment value and that the information given here is not a reflection of the views of the Tarago Times. It is
recommended that you seek professional assistance if you have any questions on any of the information listed here
before attempting any action. Source: world wide web search.
Your Photographer: Meet with the guy or girl who has
to make you look brilliant in pictures! Not only is it an
icebreaker, it gives them a chance to understand where
you’re coming from, the unique things about you and
your special day, any clues to help them put together a
great result. DO have photography samples from bridal
magazines if you like, but read below!
so best ask prior to booking.
• Convertibles are actually easier to shoot you in, but
please don’t take that as a necessity, or indeed a
preference.
• Limo’s are very handy if they can take the entire
bridal party, and the photographer can sit in the
front with the driver. Really handy that!
Expectation: The picture you saw in a bridal magazine
with the Eiffel Tower in the background is simply not
achievable in Albury. That colour of the water on that
beach in the Greek islands can’t exactly be duplicated
on Port Phillip Bay. They have
to do the best they can with
the locations presented to
them. But don’t be afraid to
show them any ideas, they will
usually try to comply. But don’t
panic.
Locations: Don’t have your preferred locations an hours
travel apart, (unless they’re on the way to the reception
venue) otherwise there’s just no time to get the shots.
Being a bride, you have probably planned this day since
birth, so during your planning, do
have a look around your ceremony
area if you can, or if you’re getting
married interstate or overseas,
ask your venue(s) for location
suggestions. The venues are usually
quite clued up location ideas. The
internet can sometime help too.
Have alternative location ideas for
bad weather! Don’t be put off by
bad weather, some fun stuff has
been shot in storms!
Time & Light: Both are
everything to create good
images! Please give the
photographer at least two hours
shooting time with you and the
bridal party (and that’s after
all the family shots) preferably
before dusk! Late arvo is great
for the warmer light, but dusk
and dark makes for an unhappy
result.
Winter: Wedding planners
please note, a 3pm ceremony then family shots etc will
give you very little time to get your portrait images,
as the light is usually history around 4:30 – 5pm. And
if you factor in travel to get location shots done, then
it becomes a real problem. Modern digital cameras are
pretty forgiving in lower light, but there’s only so much
the photographers can do.
Summer: An outdoor 2pm wedding in no shade in February
is just asking trouble. Sunburnt bridal party, and running
makeup on the sweating bride. Not pretty, not fun for
anyone. The good thing about daylight savings is you can
run things much later, and people don’t really need to be
seated to eat at 6:30pm in summer.
Water: Nothing worse than a
passed out bride or bridesmaid,
so besides the esky full of beer
and champers in the boot for the
bridal party, please have water,
especially in summer, lots of it!!
The biggest tip, have someone else
do your panicking for you on the day. Wedding planners
take all the pressure off, but if funds are tight, have a
trusted friend/sibling/relative take care of the day’s
schedule for you. Organise everything for your special
day, have your lists, times, suppliers contacts on a nice
list, but on your big day, hand it over!!! Let someone else
put out the spot fires. This is your special day, so lose the
worry and frowns affecting your make-up, and just enjoy
it.
Vehicles: Some couples hire lovely cars, and why not! It’s
nice to arrive and leave in style.
• Make sure you book a car you can get in and out of!
• Ask the owners if you can take it on a dirt road, if
that’s where you found a nice location – Some won’t,
