GREAT BREAKAWAYS BOLT
ATTRACTS SERIOUS COMPETITORS
For the fourth year in succession the GREAT
Breakaways Bolt event held on Saturday 30th June,
proved to be a resounding success, with 107
participants registered, and 98 starters on the day.
The first cyclist to pass the finish line in this year’s BOLT
event was SAPOL’s Nicole Harry based in Coober Pedy
as Crime Scene Investigator. Nicole finished in just under
2 hours.
As a serious cycling enthusiast, Nicole has been busy
training again for this year’s BOLT. “I have been out
cycling the full distance in my time off in readiness for
the BOLT”, said Nicole. “Although rather than just doing
the 35km stretch home, I have been cycling the full circuit
to the Breakaways and back which is between 60 - 70km
round trip,” she said.
First male and female children cyclists Caris-Haf Britton
and Arthur Kyrtzaliotis followed closely behind Nicole to
the finish line.
The first male cyclist to finish was Kyle Aitken. All winning
cyclists finished within 20 minutes of each other.
First Male runner was David Busuttil manager of the
Nganampa Health Council health services on APY Lands.
David, a marathon runner completed the distance in less
than 3 hours. David said he takes every opportunity to
run long distances.
The cyclist are the first starters in the 2012 GREAT Breakaways Bolt
Running in second was Exact Mining accountant Rick
Ullianich. Rick who flies up from Adelaide to work with
Exact Mining, decided to enter the BOLT to take in some
extra training. After completing the 35km run Rick who
is also a marathon runner said he hadn’t realised their
were prizes attached to the event.
“The run from the Breakaways is something I would do
again, if only to take in the magnificent landscape that I
ran through. I had no idea it was so beautiful out here,”
said Rick.

First Female runner was Penny Burke who finished in
just under 4 hours.
Local Identity Jimmy Nikoloudis was the first to walk the
full 35kms, taking 4 hours 40 minutes
COUNCIL SCORES $910,000 TO
HELP REPLACE ASBESTOS PIPELINE
Coober Pedy’s Mayor Steve Baines with Water Supply Manager Phil Van Poorten at the
Water Plant after hearing of the successful funding application
$910,000 has been awarded to the
District Council of Coober Pedy towards
the $1.84 million “Water For Growth”
project in the second round of the
Regional Development Australia Fund
(RDAF).
Coober Pedy's application for the water
pipeline infrastructure funding was
disappointedly knocked back in round one
of the RDAF funding grants last year.
Regional Australia Minister Simon Crean
was in Coober Pedy on Wednesday 4 July
to announce the funding.
Minister Crean said, “the project will provide
a pipeline from a sub-artesian bore-field,
develop irrigation systems at the town oval
and extend the community orchard.”
“The new pipeline will save the council
$140,000 annually with savings being
invested in growing the population of the
town and region in-line with the expansion
of the resource industry,” he said.
Coober Pedy Mayor’s, Steve Baines said,
“”I am extremely pleased to have received
this Commonwealth funding. The funding
for this project has been sourced from the
three tiers of government and will ensure
that Coober Pedy will have a continued
and viable supply of water for the next 30
years.”
“My congratulations to everyone involved
who was a part of putting together the
submission for this project. This is
testament to what can be achieved with
perseverance”, said the Mayor..
District Council Water Supply Manager
Phil Van Poorten is estastic with the
announement of the boreline funding.
“The asbestos boreline is at the end of
it’s useful existence. With replacement
imminent the water supply workers will
no longer have to go down into the
trenches in their asbestos protection suits
to repair and replace blown out pipes”,
said Mr. Van Poorten.

Ramsey Calls on a Fix for Coober
Pedy’s Soaring Electricity Prices
Rowan Ramsey, MP Member for Grey
Federal Member for Grey Rowan Ramsey has used
the Federal Parliament to again raise the issue of
the huge surge in electricity prices for businesses in
Coober Pedy.
“These prices are putting businesses at a competitive
disadvantage to comparative tourism destinations in remote
areas of other states,” he said.
Mr Ramsey said this was raised as the single most
important issue facing the town on his visit to
Coober Pedy last week.
He has called on the State Government of South
Australia to fulfil its duty to make sure residents
and businesses have a fair deal.
“All other states support their regional communities in the
generation of off-grid electricity,” Mr Ramsey said.
“Last year when the Labor Government reduced the
subsidy I put forward a successful motion to the Federal
Parliament which was ignored by a government that
increasingly turns it back on country people, while milking
the profits of income generated by mining and agriculture.”
From July 1, the carbon tax is in the mix, the State
Government winds back support even further and
electricity for businesses in Coober Pedy will skyrocket
by another 30 percent. With more rises to
come, traders will be squeezed harder and harder
and will be forced to pass on this rise to residents
and tourists.
“In twelve months time and every year afterwards the
carbon tax will rise and electricity will rise with it,” Mr
Ramsey said.
“The workers of Coober Pedy are people on the same
wages as the rest of the nation but forced to pay
considerably above normal prices for goods and services.
We are just beginning to see the effects of the Carbon
Tax and its impact on regional and remote people will be
far higher than those in the metropolitan area.”

HEALTH MATTERS - Monique Harding
New smoke-free laws
Changes to the Tobacco Products Regulation
Act 1997 mean that, from 31 May 2012:
· Smoking is banned within 10 metres of children’s
public playground equipment.
· Smoking is banned under covered public
transport waiting areas, including bus, tram, train
and taxi shelters and other areas used to board or
alight from public transport that are covered by a
roof.
· Local councils and other incorporated bodies
can apply to have an outdoor area or event declared
smoke-free.
· The age that a person can be fined for smokingrelated
offences has been reduced to 15 years.
Information sheets on smoke-free playgrounds,
smoke-free covered public transport waiting areas,
and declared smoke-free outdoor areas and events
are also available at www.tobaccolaws.sa.gov.au.
What is the purpose of the new laws?
Research shows that outdoor smoking is a potential
hazard, particularly around larger numbers of active
smokers and under certain wind conditions. This
means that passive smoking is a risk for people who
spend time in confined outdoor public places.
These new laws are based on evidence that they
will have an impact on reducing the prevalence of
smoking and passive smoking, as well as reducing
children’s perceptions of smoking as a glamorous
or normal behaviour.
Support for smoke-free outdoor areas
Tobacco smoke in outdoor areas can produce
symptoms of ill health and can aggravate many
health conditions, such as asthma, chronic
obstructive airways diseases and cystic fibrosis.
Smoke-free areas are designed to protect the health
of the community. They also increase the comfort
and enjoyment for all people using public spaces,
especially spaces that may be crowded or where
people congregate.
Why public playground equipment?
Banning smoking within 10 metres of children’s
playground equipment aims to protect the health of
children. Children are often more susceptible to the
immediate health effects of passive smoking and
continuous exposure has been found to increase
the risk of illnesses, such as middle ear infections,
bronchitis and pneumonia. The ban will also help to
prevent children thinking that smoking is normal.
Support to quit smoking
For information and support to quit smoking, call
the Quitline 13 7848, visit www.quitsa.org.au to
register for text messaging support or

The Australasian Railway Association (ARA) has
posted a webpage today (www.ara.net.au/site/
carbon-tax-rail.php) illustrating that the carbon tax
will increase transport-related carbon emissions.
Rail companies will pay approximately $110 million per
year whilst the road industry is exempt. This will be
passed onto rail customers and eventually end
consumers, through heightened grocery costs. Rail
customers may even switch to the more polluting road
freight industry which is exempt from the tax, putting
more trucks on our roads and more transport-related
emissions into the atmosphere.
ARA CEO Bryan Nye said despite producing three
times less emissions than road, rail will be required to
pay a pollution tax while road is exempt.
“Trains emit one third the pollution of trucks and yet the
rail industry is required to pay a $110 million carbon tax
each year whilst one of Australia’s largest polluters is
given a free pass,” he said.
“Ironically, the carbon tax, which is designed to reduce
pollution levels, provides a financial incentive to switch
to trucks which will put more trucks on our roads, and
increase transport-related emissions.”
The webpage was launched to educate decision makers,
rail customers and the general public on the adverse
impacts of the carbon tax on rail transport and the likely
increase of transport emissions.
“Through the webpage, we are aiming to educate people
on the real impacts of this tax,” continued Mr Nye.
“Rail freight operators will be forced to pay tens of
millions of dollars with the carbon tax and rail customers
are understandably unhappy about the proposed price
increases. Some are actively considering switching to
road which will put more trucks on our road and increase
emissions.”
The webpage urges Government to reconsider the
illogical application of the carbon tax on the transport
sector.
“Rail has repeatedly stated its support for action on
climate change but we need to raise awareness that the
carbon tax will reduce rail’s competitive ability, put more
trucks on our roads and increase transport-related
emissions.”
The Rail Industry, through the ARA seeks amendments
to the carbon tax to provide equal treatment for road
and rail, by either removing the exemption for the
trucking industry or providing the same exemption for
rail.
“The Government should explain the logic behind taxing
the emissions friendly rail sector and exempting the
carbon intensive road heavy vehicles,” said Mr Nye.
“If the carbon tax is to be effective in reducing pollution,
the way the tax is to be applied to rail and not road
needs to change,” concluded Mr Nye.

DISTRICT COUNCIL OF COOBER PEDY
MAYOR'S REPORT
Council Meeting 19 June 2012
During the past month I have spent a
considerable amount of time trying to find a
way forward with the Federal Governments
requirement to introduce security screening
at regional airports.
In December last year Council received advice from
the Department of Transport and Infrastructure that
we would be classed as a Category 6 security
controlled airport. Category 6 airports are able to
accept RPT and open charter aircraft up to
20,000kg and all closed charter aircraft without a
requirement to carry out security screening.
It then came to light that several regional airports,
including Coober Pedy, have a tour operator that
conducts air tours in and out of our airports using
Alliance Fokker 50 aircraft that weigh 20,800kg and
are classed under the regulations as open charter
aircraft. To continue to accept these aircraft after
July 31st this year Council would need to upgrade
to a Category 5 security controlled airport which
would require security screening equipment to be
installed at our airport and staff trained in the use of
the equipment. This equipment would include a
security screening wand, explosive detection device
and baggage screening equipment. There would
also be a requirement to provide trained and
authorised staff to attend each open charter flight
and carry out passenger security screening.
June Council Meetings Brief:-
Council approved a donation in the amount of $350 cash
and $1,800 in kind towards the 2012 Coober Pedy Amateur
Race Club Annual Race Meeting to be held during August
2012.
Council has appointed Terry Bruun and Rex Mooney to
facilitate a review of Council’s Strategic and Financial
plans. Workshops will commence during August 2012.
Council to provide $500 sponsorship towards the
Advantage SA Annual 2012 SA Regional Awards Far North
presentation function .
Council has been advised of processes required by the
new SA Public Health Act 2011, which will include the
requirement of Council to develop a regional health plan
for its area.

Department for a full time Water Supply Worker.
Persons interested in this position should have
experience in the use of small and heavy plant
and equipment and be the holder of a current
drivers licence.
A Job and Person Specification for this position
can be obtained from Mrs Vonnie Ferguson on

PO Box 425,
Coober Pedy SA 5723,
by close of business on Friday 13th July 2012.
Phil Cameron, Chief Executive Officer.
After most regional airports declined to install
security screening equipment, and after much
lobbying by the charter operator, South Australian
Tourism Commission and others the Department of
Infrastructure and Transport agreed to make
available $100,000 to the airline operators to install
portable screening equipment on the aircraft that
operate open charters. Alliance has declined this
offer stating that the equipment is bulky and is not
portable therefore each of their aircraft would need
to be fitted. They also claim that all their flight crew
would need to be trained in the use of the equipment.
I have been working closely with the Mayor of
Kangaroo Island and the tour owner in an effort to
find a way forward but we are quickly running out of
time as the July 1st deadline approaches. As such I
have written to The Hon Anthony Albanese, Federal
Minister for Transport and Infrastructure requesting
an extension of time until a suitable resolution can
be found.
At this time the Australian Air Holidays have 18 Lake
Eyre flights scheduled. Each of these flights
overnight in Coober Pedy generating tourism dollars
and employment to our community.
Last year Australian Air Holidays paid in excess of
$9500 in landing fees to Council.

a recent case has been cleaned up by the Council at a
large cost to ratepayers in the amount of $2500.
Illegal rubbish dumping in a creek close to Coober Pedy
The Local Government Act and Environment Protection
Act impose large penalties for illegal dumping.
As an example it is an offence to deposit rubbish on a
public road or place and the maximum penalty is $5,000.
Council does operate a Landfill which is open to the public

– contact the Council for opening times. Illegal dumping
is unsightly, causes health issues and costs the community
many dollars to clean up

Coober Pedy Street
and Road Names
Big Johns Road and The Painters Road
Where did the name of your street come from?
Big Johns Road
Part 10 in a series - by Sue Britt
Some streets carry the nickname of the person who lived
there. Big Johns Road is one of these. It is named for a
Greek opal miner who lived there in the 1960’s and 70’s.
The Painters Road conjures up visions of a commune of
artists and easels but, in fact, it was named for a house
painter who still lives there.
The Painters Road is named for Franco Pagnani
Franco came to Coober Pedy from Melbourne about 1970
“looking for opal; I like to get rich.” He spent plenty of
time looking for opal and he found some but he did painting
work for “sure money.” Franco painted houses mainly.
He worked for the Housing Trust and did private work.
To attract business he had a sign he made himself at the
bottom of the road where he lived: The Painters.
That was in the days of the Progress Association. Then
the new District Council came into being and they said,
“No private signs on the roads.” But, when they started
putting up road signs, they just copied Franco’s sign.
That’s how his advertising sign became the official name
of the road.
Franco has been a member of the CPARC, Racing Club
for over 20 years. He is the man who comes out of the
little pink house to collect your money on race days. It’s
a job he does conscientiously, knowing that the admissions
money is needed not only for the Race Club but also for
the community projects and charities they support.
Big John was well liked and is well remembered, as
Big John. Few remember his real name but everyone
remembers his tragic death at Olympic with his two
partners.
According to an article in the Adelaide News 5/3/80 his
name was John Vousvouris. He was about 38 years of
age when he died. His partners were Gregory Digaletos,
34, and Nick Nathanael, 48. All three were experienced
opal miners.
Big John is credited with the discovery and naming of
Olympic Field in 1963. Early in 1980, the partners had
found good money and were ready to start something
new. John and Nick planned to go back to Greece and
get married.
Gregory was planning to start work on a new claim. The
tunnel collapsed when they went down to dig a last couple
of metres and they were crushed and buried under tonnes
of rock 20m underground.

Employers:
2012-13 tax
tables now
available
The ATO is reminding employers to use the new
Pay As You Go (PAYG) withholding tax tables from
1 July 2012.
Tax Commissioner Michael D’Ascenzo said employers
need to apply these new tax rates to payments made on
or after 1 July even if some of the payment relates to
work performed before this date.
“The ATO recently wrote to 900,000 employers to inform
them that new income tax rates will apply from 1
July.”
“If an employer uses a computer system or a service
provider to manage their payroll, they should ensure that
their software has been updated.”
“Employers can also use the free ATO tax withheld calculator
available at www.ato.gov.au/
taxwithheldcalculator, to quickly work out how much
tax to withhold from their employees’ salary or call the
ATO on 13 28 66 to discuss their specific circumstances,”
Mr D’Ascenzo said.
The new tax tables are available from the ATO website
at www.ato.gov.au/taxtables or by calling the ATO on
1300 720 092. Paper copies of the weekly and fortnightly
tax tables are also available at ATO shopfronts
and most newsagents.
UNAGREED MINTABIE LEASE
‘AGREEMENT’ PRESSES AHEAD!
For residents in the historic opal mining township of
Mintabie, the writing is appearing on the wall, that
the South Australian State Government are planning
to close down their town and force them out of their
homes
Mintabie Miners say that since a Town Meeting with
government bureaucrats to discuss a new town lease on
8 May 2012 they have had no further contact with the
government or DMITRE
“The Mintabie residents refused to sign a lease agreement
that they clearly didn’t agree to, but DMITRE it appears
are soldiering on regardless”, said Mintabie Progress
Association Chairman, Lee Craggs.
Lee Craggs has said, “Mark Sutton General Manager of
The Outback Community Authority (OCA) has told us
that they will no longer fund the township of Mintabie
from July 2013, despite the Mintabie residents will still
be required to pay State taxes.”
The Mintabie Township lies within the boundaries of
Yankunytjatjara Homelands. The APY executive have
allegedly said that the traditional owners were consulted.
However, traditional owners spoke to DMITRE at the 8
May meeting, and stated that they had never been consulted
on Mintabie’s existence and they did not agree with the
new lease proposal.
The following forgone conclusion has appeared at http://

Mining at Mintabie
Important notice for all opal miners intending to mine at
Mintabie
The Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Land
Rights (Mintabie) Amendment Act 2009 will come into
operation on 1 July 2012.
As a result of the APY Land Rights (Mintabie) Amendment
Act changes have been made to the Opal Mining Act 1995,
the changes include the following:Precious stones
prospecting permit (PSPP)
A PSPP must be endorsed as a Mintabie PSPP and entry
to the Mintabie precious stones field for prospecting is
not allowed without that endorsement.
To obtain endorsement, at the time of application for, or a
renewal of a PSPP you must indicate on the application
form that you wish to enter the Mintabie precious stones
field and include a national police clearance certificate not
more than 12 months old.
Transitional provisions for prospecting
If a PSPP is in force on 1 July 2012 it will allow entry for
prospecting on the Mintabie precious stones field until
expiry of the PSPP and you do not need to do anything
unless you renew it.
Precious stones tenements
Applications to register or renew precious stones
tenements on the Mintabie precious stones field will
require the lodgement of a national police clearance
certificate not more than 12 months old at the time of
application.
Miners are reminded that PSPP’s can be renewed up to
30 days prior to expiry and precious stones tenements
can be renewed up to 60 days prior to expiry.
Transitional arrangements for pegging a claim up
to 30 September 2012
Notice of pegging will be accepted but not registered
without the supply of a national police clearance certificate,
DMITRE will not expire any tenements where the
tenement holder is waiting for a police clearance and can
supply proof of application, by providing a copy of the
receipt.

The $140,000 annual cost of repairs for up 17 years
has included man hours, machine hours, and parts
to repair and replace the rotting asbestos pipeline.
“The cost of repairing and replacing this worn out
asbestos pipe over the 12 -13 years that I’ve been
manager would've gone a long way towards
replacing it”, said Phil Van Poorten.
Mr Crean said,“This project will help secure Coober
Pedy’s water future and is a great example of what is
possible when you combine partnership investment
and persistence.”
After not achieving funding in round one, Coober
Pedy’Council persisted in it’s quest for the asbestos
boreline replacement grant.
From the Coober Pedy Regional Times, Thursday
10 November 2011
Pipeline Replacement
Earlier this year Council applied to Round 1 of the
Federal Governments Regional Development
Australia Fund (RDAF) for funding for the
replacement of twelve kilometres of ageing pipeline
that brings our water from the bore to the desalination
plant. Unfortunately Council was unsuccessful on
that occasion.
Round 2 of the fund is now open and Council have
decided to once again make an application to the
fund for the replacement pipeline. This time we have
engaged Mr Tony Dahlitz from Gibber Plain Solutions
to assist us with our application. Tony is very
experienced in formulating grant submissions and
wrote the successful submission for the Flinders
Ranges Council under Round 1 of the RDAF.
Funding to replace asbestos boreline

Coober Pedy’s ‘Water
for Growth Project’
The District Council of Coober Pedy are taking a
strategic focus with the Water for Growth Project
looking to ‘future proof’ Coober Pedy’s water
supply and develop the quality of Coober Pedy
as a regional centre and residential location.
The Federal RDA funding will enable council
contractors to supply and install 12 kilometres
of new 225mm (9”) diameter PVC water pipeline
from the Great Artesian Basin bore-field 26 km
north of Coober Pedy.
This work will be undertaken by a suitably
qualified external contractor following a public
tender process.
The funding will provide a new irrigation system
to the town oval which will reduce current water
use.
Council will install 1,800 metres of subsurface
irrigation pipe; 85 popup sprinklers; and the
purchase and installation of a ‘state of the art’
electronic monitoring and irrigation control
system.
Further to the necessary infrastructure, Council
will erect a series of 4 new Water for Growth
Project interpretation signs, creating a new
walking trail and tourist attraction that will both
tell the story of water in Coober Pedy and provide
recognition of project partners.
We are proposing to extend the submission in Round
2 to also encompass an automated watering system
for OzMinerals Oval, and an extension to the orchard
incorporating some skills training and water saving
measures.

2012 GREAT BREAKAWAYS BOLT
The 2012 GREAT Breakaways Bolt kicked off with a
fresh 9 degrees temperature and a 20km SW wind.
By lunch time the temperature had reached 15
degrees with a 32km SW head wind, challenging
participants as they ran, walked or cycled along the
Oodnadatta track and into Flat Hill Road in the last
leg of the race towards town.
Participants and volunteers checked in at the town oval at
8.00am, with a few early birds arriving earlier, keen to
start the day. Volunteers were there to collect equipment
needed for checkpoints, and participants signed in and
received their number.
Bus drivers and other volunteers assisted with loading
bikes onto trailers, and allocating seats on the buses.
The convoy of buses and vehicles arrived at the
Breakaways starting point by 9.00 am with the first of
the starters setting off at 9.40am after a short briefing.
The participants, many of whom were motivated by the
inclusion of cash prizes, sponsored by local mining
companies IMX Resources and Oz Minerals, followed
the tradition route throught the spectacular Breakaways
then along the Dog Fence to the Oodnadatta Track until
they reached Flat Hill Road which took them to the Triangle
walking track and back to the finishing point at the Town
Oval.
For participants who had finished their chosen distance,
buses were based at the 5km, 10km, 15km, and 20km
checkpoints to pick them up and transport them back to
the Oval.

The day was a huge success, with most participants
finishing their nominated kilometres, thankfully without
having to utilise the ambulance or administer first aid at all
during the day.
There were some very impressive achievements from
participants, with Declan Bell aged 5 and Corey Bell aged
3 walking 10kms with their mum Karin and some friends.
No doubt the walk tired the boys out for the rest of the
day. The boys’ mother Karin Bell mentioned that Declan is
already talking about walking the full distance next year.
CPAS student Ayla Jane Forman walked the full 35kms in
under 7 hours after only registering to walk 5kms. Opal
miner Nick Dimitropolous also walked the full 35kms
finishing shortly after Ayla Jane.
When participants completed their event or arrived back
on buses they were greeted at the oval by Joan Andrews,
who had made fruit cake, muffins and date loaf for
everyone to enjoy. Thank you Joan for your generosity,
everyone I have spoken to loved that you had done this.
Chris Durdin and Trish Turner also were at the oval with
delicious soups and crusty bread rolls for participants for
a gold coin donation to the Hospital Auxilliary’s new
community bus fund. The soups were definitely a good
way to warm up at the end of the day.
I would like to thank all of our volunteers for donating
their time to help make this event a success once again,
you have all again exceeded our expectations, utilising the
UHF radios to communicate amongst each other, and
working as a team.
A very special thank you to Tanya Lauder for all of your
support in organising this event. Also Peter Woods and
Martin Grava who spent Friday afternoon, night and
Saturday morning putting up the road and checkpoint signs.
All of the participants deserve a hearty congratulations;
you have all done extremely well.
A special presentation will be held after the school holidays
where we will present certificates to Volunteers,
Participants and Sponsors.

Census 2011 Another Farce
The 2011 Census figures were
released earlier this month
and again, the figures for
Coober Pedy are appallingly
inaccurate. This is bitterly
disappointing because the
Australian Bureau of
Statistics huffed and puffed
and promised they would put
in extra resources this time to
ensure the data collected here
would be more accurate. They
appear to have failed
miserably again. This is a calamity for Coober Pedy
because these are the figures the government uses
to determine the level of services to particular towns
and cities.
The main points of the census
include;
• Total population 1,695
• Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people 275 (16.2%
of total population – State 1.9%)
• Median Age = 45 (State = 39)
• Married 36.7% (State = 48.4%)
• Separated/divorced 19.7% (State = 12.1%)
• Completed TAFE 27
• University qualified 9
• No religion 20.3% (State = 28.1%)
• Most common language other than English = Greek
(6.4%)
• Dwellings occupied 712, unoccupied 399, total
dwellings 1,112
• Average number of people per household 2
• Households with no motor vehicle 11.4% of population
by Kevin Woon
The total population of Coober Pedy certainly exceeds
1,695. In actual fact it would be close to double that and
most people realise the true population would certainly be
more than three thousand. However, finding actual
statistics to prove that is difficult. There’s anecdotal
evidence to suggest Census forms weren’t delivered or
weren’t collected which is completely unacceptable.
There are certainly more than 275 Indigenous people living
in Coober Pedy. People working providing services for
Indigenous people have suggested the true number would
be 2 to 3 times that of the Census.
“780 Council Rated houses not counted in Census”
One figure that is completely wrong and can be proved
so is the number of dwellings in Coober Pedy. According
to the ABS Census statistics there are 1,112 dwellings in
Coober Pedy. However, according to the District Council
of Coober Pedy who’s figures would be more accurate
since they charge rates for these properties, there are 1,737
rateable residential properties as at 17 th August 2011. That
does not include the 58 houses at Umoona Community so
the actual total is closer to 1,800 dwellings. That is a
considerable difference, so what happened to the other
approximately 780 houses? At two people per household
average that could be another 1,560 people unaccounted
for by the Census which would make the population a
more realistic 3,255.
I also find it difficult to believe that almost 36% of the
dwellings in Coober Pedy are unoccupied. That seems a
ridiculously high percentage considering the lack of
housing for sale or rent. I acknowledge a number of people
own houses here but don’t live here permanently or might
have been away on Census night but even so it seems
high. Also, there are 625 dwellings unaccounted for too
not counting those in Umoona.
The statistic that I found the least accurate is the number
of people having completed a university degree. The
Census says there were 9 but the actual number would
be at least five times that. Consider the fact that all teachers
have university degrees and there are 31 at the CPAS
(including principals and relieving teachers), nurses all
have degrees now as do social workers and doctors.
There are a reasonable number of tertiary qualified people
working in other sectors of the workforce (I can think of
at least 6 without trying) so to say there are 9 is a joke.
It would be a similar story with those who’ve completed
TAFE courses. Surely more than 27 people here have
completed TAFE courses.
As a point of interest using percentages rather than
numbers, Coober Pedians are older than average South
Australians (no surprise), more religious than South
Australians generally, are less likely to get married and
more likely to divorce or separate.
The fact that 11.4% of the households don’t have motor
vehicles certainly strengthens the claim the community
needs some bus service. Even on a population of 1,695,
11.4% is 193 households which is a significant number
demonstrating a community bus is definitely warranted.
Since the figures for Coober Pedy are so obviously untrue,
the Census seems a complete waste of time, effort and
taxpayers’ money. The tragedy is the government does
use these figures when allocating resources throughout
the community so Coober Pedy is destined to miss out on
its fair share yet again.
As an aside, I learnt while researching for this article that
the state government is planning on making Andamooka a
major regional centre but not Coober Pedy. Maybe that’s
because our population has halved in ten years and we’re
so uneducated, well according to the Census anyway.

Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport,
Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate
playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard
(Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse
than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later,
Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world
of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen
into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each
harboring their own dark secrets. RATED: PG

Sue and Robbie Scott
I’ve had a busy couple of weeks. To start with I
have been out meeting and greeting new residents
of Coober Pedy. Sue and Robbie Scott have made
a move from Robe in the south east of the state to
Coober Pedy. It’s a big change in their lives. A
reverse Sea Change, moving from a rural coastal
community to the desert is more of an Oasis
Change.
Old mates and new chums!
I asked has she ever given CPR or Mouth to Mouth
to a dog. Sue said she could do it but so far it had
not come up in her Ambulance work.
I asked if I could have a ride in the Ambulance with
the sirens and flashing lights. Sue said NO! (Oh
come on, I don’t want to drive it, please, please
can I have a ride?) All my begging didn’t work. I’m
going to if I can get a ride in a police car or with the
CFS.
Welcome to Coober Pedy
Woof, Woof
Your new chum Charlie Paris
Jack Crombie
Talk about catching up with old mates. I don’t
think you can have a better time than chatting
with your friends.
There was a knock at the door the other day and to
everyone’s surprise there was my Uncle Jack. He
was passing through making his way north going
to his Fathers country to stay for a while.
This is my exercise playground
If I had the money I could get all my pics Photoshopped.
Everyone is doing it, years ago when
Joan Collins was in Play Boy, the photographer said
she was like a prune with legs and the only part of
her body that wasn’t air brushed was her ankles.
I have done some research; I am going to use the
same Photoshop formula that Kylie Minogue uses.
I should be so lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky.
Me with Ambulance officer Sue Scott
Sue Scott is Coober Pedy’s new Ambulance officer.
Sue was an Ambulance volunteer team leader for
Robe for the last 8 years. She is also Robe’s 2012
citizen of the year Australia Day recipient.
Sue always wanted to be a nurse and the
Ambulance work allows her to work within the
community. It is with strong family support that
she has been able to take on this new direction in
her life. Sue’s husband Robbie is willing to
commute between Robe and Coober Pedy to
continue working on a fishing boat. However after
talking to him, if he can find work around here he is
happy to stay. They can see that Coober Pedy
has that unique outback spirit and they are both
compassionate about what they do and are not
afraid to challenge themselves for their new start
in life.
I asked Sue about her new work and what her life
would be like in Coober Pedy.
Sue said, she and Robbie have been staying at a
friend’s dugout, and they are convinced that a
dugout is the way to live and are looking for a nice
place to rent. At this stage they are living out of
suitcases and their furniture is in storage. They
have a Fox Terrier that will be moving up when they
are settled.
I asked Sue about her work.
If I was hurt falling off my comfy lounge (don’t laugh
- when I’m dreaming about chasing rabbits it
happens) Sue said would make a special visit to
hold my paw and look after me.
Uncle Jack and Aunty Gwen Crombie live in Port
Augusta now and I never get to see them.
I asked Mum and Dad if I could go along with him
for the ride and hopped into the car as quick as I
could. I got out quicker when Uncle Jack said I
could be his hunting dog.
My ol' mate Jack Crombie dropped in to have a
cuppa with me
He said he was camping out, no comfy lounge or
TV and to remember its cold at night. UM! I have
so many other commitments I can’t go this time,
I’ll wait for warmer weather and see about a long
extension cord for the TV, the lounge isn’t a
problem, I can take my blow up camp bed and lots
of cushions. Mum can pre-prepare my favourite
meals to take along, that would be steak smothered
with chops and sausages or chops smothered with
steak and sausages. Any combination of meat is
fine with me.
See you next time Uncle Jack.
Does my bum look big in this?
Winter is a harsh time for the body. When the cold
weather comes we look for an excuse to indulge in
the extra special food to warm us up, inside and
out. I don’t know about you but if I eat something
wrong it goes straight to my BUM. Well, dogs don’t
really have hips do they.
I looked up the sexiest women in history; there were
many names I didn’t know. One name that was
always in the top 3 was Marilyn Monroe; I can see
myself as a young Marilyn. If she was a dog you
wouldn’t be able to tell us apart. Surprising to me
in the top 20 of the list was Anna Nicole Smith, I
would need to put on weight to come close to her.
Her bottom started at her neck and went down to
her ankles.
Lets see now, we could Diet (not going to happen)
Exercise (seems unlikely) Air Brushing (only if I’m
going to have my photo taken for Play Dog of the
year) Photoshop (desperate times call for
desperate measures, it could happen)
Charlie, does my bum look big in this?
I could do something quick and easy yet effective.
I’ll stand next to Mummy Dog, her bottom is much
bigger then mine.
Paws up
Charlie Paris
My bottom is getting so large if you don’t see me
coming you definitely see me leaving. If I was the
only one to have a winter bottom, it would be OK.
There seems to be an epidemic happening out
there, my friend Mummy Dog has the same
problem. We are thinking about doing an exercise
program together. If that doesn’t work, every photo
During the interview I thought I heard a dog in from now on will be minus my derriere (that’s

distress, but it was all okay
French for bottom)
