Dave Burgess<br />
Mayor<br />
I am married with two s<strong>on</strong>s and have been a permanent<br />
resident of the Mid Murray District for 25 years.<br />
I have owned my own business over the past 30 years<br />
I have enjoyed being a councillor for Mid Murray over<br />
the past 7½ years, the last 4 as Deputy Mayor.<br />
I believe we need <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> guide our growth within our regi<strong>on</strong><br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> develop a base for future business and managed<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>urism. We need <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> find a balance by providing the<br />
needs of the community whilst still protecting our<br />
envir<strong>on</strong>ment.<br />
Your vote for me will ensure<br />
str<strong>on</strong>g leadership necessary<br />
for the Mid Murray Council <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
achieve these goals.<br />

Candidate<br />
RIVER NORTH WARD<br />
As a resident of Cadell I have represented River North<br />
Ward as a Councilor for the past four years. During this<br />
period I have served <strong>on</strong> the Strategic Planning committee<br />
and Reserves Management Working group and have seen a<br />
positive change.<br />
If re-elected I will c<strong>on</strong>tinue <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> support the <strong>on</strong>going projects<br />
in River North that benefit our youth and senior citizens. I<br />
am committed <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> provide facilities <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> our regi<strong>on</strong> that are<br />
normal in larger <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wns and this in turn will help local<br />
business prosper. The river and <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>urism are very<br />
important <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> our regi<strong>on</strong> and so are the many community<br />
groups that keep our <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wns alive. We have seen positive<br />
changes in recent times, some of which are upgrades <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
the <strong>Morgan</strong> Internet centre and the Cadell Institute,<br />
Re-roofing of Landseer building and funding for a new<br />
Playground and BMX track. We have also seen the<br />
introducti<strong>on</strong> of the <strong>Morgan</strong>/Cadell community car, a<br />
medical transport service that is run by volunteers and<br />
council. The re-development of the <strong>Morgan</strong> riverfr<strong>on</strong>t is a<br />
very exciting project and is <strong>on</strong>e that I am proud <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be part<br />
of and will c<strong>on</strong>tinue <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> support this if re-elected.<br />
Make your vote count and we<br />
will keep moving forward<br />

The installati<strong>on</strong> of new <strong>digital</strong> transmitters <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> service the <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wnship of <strong>Morgan</strong> was approved at<br />
the Mid Murray Council meeting <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>day. <strong>Morgan</strong> will welcome its new <strong>digital</strong> TV service in the<br />
coming m<strong>on</strong>ths.<br />
WIN Televisi<strong>on</strong> will establish a <strong>digital</strong> transla<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r site within the <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wnship of <strong>Morgan</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> provide<br />
residents with reliable <strong>digital</strong> televisi<strong>on</strong> recepti<strong>on</strong>. The <strong>Morgan</strong> site will receive televisi<strong>on</strong><br />
services from the Ramco Heights transmitters, near Waikerie, and retransmit them in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
<strong>Morgan</strong>.<br />
WIN regi<strong>on</strong>al SA and Ch9 Adelaide General Manager, Graeme Gilberts<strong>on</strong> thanked the Mid<br />
Murray Council for its support for the approval for the transmitter installati<strong>on</strong> as this project<br />
has come <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> fruiti<strong>on</strong> due <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the excellent goodwill and cooperati<strong>on</strong> between the Mid Murray<br />
Council and WIN Televisi<strong>on</strong>.<br />
"With analogue <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>-off imminent, this transmitter will significantly improve televisi<strong>on</strong><br />
services <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the regi<strong>on</strong>,” Mr Gilberts<strong>on</strong> said.<br />
WIN has invested in the new transmitters, which will deliver the WIN 7, 9 and 10 services, as well<br />
as ABC and SBS <strong>digital</strong> transmissi<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
"<strong>Morgan</strong> residents will now have a local <strong>digital</strong> TV signal rather than trying <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> receive the<br />
televisi<strong>on</strong> signals from the more distant Ramco Heights transmitter,” Mr Gilberts<strong>on</strong> said.<br />
The new <strong>Morgan</strong> transmitters are an integral part of rolling out the <strong>digital</strong> televisi<strong>on</strong> service <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
regi<strong>on</strong>al <strong>South</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>, part of the <strong>Australia</strong>-wide analogue <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>-off. Digital <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>over<br />
will deliver better picture and sound quality and free up spectrum which can be used for the<br />
delivery of new and improved broadcasting and communicati<strong>on</strong>s services, such as high<br />
speed broadband. Analogue services <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> regi<strong>on</strong>al <strong>South</strong> <strong>Australia</strong> will be <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>ed off <strong>on</strong><br />
December 15, 2010.<br />
It is expected the new <strong>Morgan</strong> transmitters will be installed and operati<strong>on</strong>al between late<br />
Oc<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ber and early November 2010. Once the transmitters are operati<strong>on</strong>al viewers in <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
with a <strong>digital</strong> set <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>p box, or an in-built <strong>digital</strong> tuner, may need <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> re-scan their set <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>p boxes<br />
or run an au<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>matic channel scan <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> view the WIN Televisi<strong>on</strong> <strong>digital</strong> service.<br />
What is <strong>digital</strong> free-<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>-air televisi<strong>on</strong><br />
The word ‘<strong>digital</strong>’ refers <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the way in which signals<br />
are sent <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> and received by your televisi<strong>on</strong>. Free-<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>air<br />
TV in <strong>Australia</strong> is currently broadcast in both <strong>digital</strong><br />
and analog. However, the analog signals will be<br />
phased out between 2010 and 2013 and <strong>Australia</strong>n TV<br />
will become <strong>digital</strong>-<strong>on</strong>ly. Analog signals will be<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>ed off around regi<strong>on</strong>al <strong>South</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>, including<br />
this area, <strong>on</strong> 15 December 2010.<br />
Why are we <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>ing <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>digital</strong> TV<br />
Most people will enjoy a much better picture and<br />
improved sound. It also enables more channels <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be<br />
provided. By <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>ing <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>digital</strong>, <strong>Australia</strong> will be<br />
keeping pace with the rest of the world, and will<br />
c<strong>on</strong>tinue <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> have access <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the latest programs and<br />
technology. Switching off analog TV signals will also<br />
free up broadcast space that could be used for other<br />
services for the community.<br />
What do I need <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> do <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> get ready for the <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>over<br />
After the <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>over, free-<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>-air televisi<strong>on</strong> will <strong>on</strong>ly be<br />
available in <strong>digital</strong> so you’ll need <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> have a televisi<strong>on</strong><br />
that can receive <strong>digital</strong> TV signals. You can c<strong>on</strong>vert<br />
your existing analog TV by c<strong>on</strong>necting a <strong>digital</strong> set <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>p<br />
box, or upgrade <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> a <strong>digital</strong> televisi<strong>on</strong>. One set <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>p box<br />
will be needed for each TV you wish <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>vert.<br />
How do I know if I’m already ‘<strong>digital</strong> ready’<br />
An easy way <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> tell is checking whether you can<br />
receive ABC2 or SBS TWO. These are standard<br />
definiti<strong>on</strong> <strong>digital</strong> channels and if you can see them,<br />
and you d<strong>on</strong>’t have subscripti<strong>on</strong> TV, then it means you<br />
are able <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> receive <strong>digital</strong> free-<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>-air TV.<br />
If your TV isn’t capable of receiving <strong>digital</strong> broadcasts<br />
(i.e. you can’t view either of these channels), then its<br />
likely you’re still viewing analog TV signals which will<br />
be <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>ed off <strong>on</strong> 15 December 2010.<br />
When can I <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>digital</strong> TV<br />
Digital TV services are already <strong>on</strong> the air in this area<br />
so you can make the <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g> now. You will need <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be<br />
<strong>digital</strong> ready by 15 December <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> keep watching free-<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
-air channels after 15 December 2010 when the<br />
analog TV signals are <str<strong>on</strong>g>switch</str<strong>on</strong>g>ed off.<br />
For more informati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> getting ready for <strong>digital</strong> TV,<br />

MORGAN COMMUNITY CAR UPDATE<br />
6<br />
The community car has now been operating for almost two years thanks <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the generosity of our volunteer<br />
drivers.<br />
Unfortunately over that time we have lost a number of drivers for various reas<strong>on</strong>s, resulting in having <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> ask for<br />
every<strong>on</strong>e’s assistance <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> ensure the service remains viable.<br />
Despite advertising in the <strong>Morgan</strong> Matters we have been unable <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> recruit new drivers <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> fill the gaps.<br />
Acti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> assist the service and the volunteers are listed below.<br />
ALL bookings must be made through the coordina<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r, <strong>on</strong>ly by the client.<br />
Use the community car as a last resort, not the first easy opti<strong>on</strong>.<br />
Use Family members as a first preference when a medical appointment is required.<br />
Do not embarrass drivers by asking <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> do any shopping other than prescripti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
The car is <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be re-fuelled <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong>ce by the driver after the trip at <strong>Morgan</strong>.<br />
D<strong>on</strong>’t use the Community Car when you are able <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> use your own.<br />
Please remember that this service was started <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> assist those people who have no other way <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> attend medical<br />
appointments, and not <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be used when alternative transport is available.<br />
Remember also that the service is operated with volunteer drivers who very generously give of their time,<br />
even <strong>on</strong> weekends.<br />
WITHOUT OUR VOLUNTEER DRIVERS THERE IS NO COMMUNITY CAR.<br />
PLEASE CONSIDER THE ABOVE SUGGESTIONS TO ENSURE THE CONTINUATION OF THE SERVICE.<br />

<strong>Morgan</strong> Cadell Redhat Ladies<br />
Thank you “Princesses” Lee and Jo who organized a<br />

bid f<strong>on</strong>d farewell <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Nola Ward. We jokingly call her<br />
“Bar<strong>on</strong>ess Swinging Door” (she’s never home) but it’s<br />
no joke that we will miss w<strong>on</strong>derful Nola and her sense<br />
of fun, - not <strong>on</strong>ly at “Redhat” gatherings, but in our lives.<br />
Fortunately we’ve been privileged in making marvellous<br />
memories with Nola and Wack. We wish them happiness<br />
in their next adventure and trust whenever our<br />
paths cross, we will c<strong>on</strong>tinue our friendship at the drop<br />
of a “redhat”.<br />

Secretary MCDTA Annette Richards<strong>on</strong>
Wack and Nola Ward<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong> says a sad farewell <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Nola and Wack, <strong>Morgan</strong>’s loss is Goolwa’s gain. They<br />
bought a shack at Pelican Point in the late 70’s where they have spent many happy<br />
years with family and made many friends. They have both been very community minded.<br />
Nola was a member of the <strong>Morgan</strong> Bowling club and Red-Hatters. Both were members<br />
of the Commercial Hotel Social Club committee and were part of the group who started<br />
the annual Black Tie Dinner, which is still a great success <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>day. Wack, as every<strong>on</strong>e<br />
knows is the resident “ roving reporter” for the <strong>Morgan</strong> Matters as well as proof reader.<br />
(This earned him the title of “Scoop Ward”.)<br />
What a great job he has d<strong>on</strong>e over the years, both with his interesting s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ries and<br />
fabulous pictures. He is <strong>on</strong>e of the cura<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rs of the <strong>Morgan</strong> Museum, which has seen<br />
many great changes for the better over the past few years. He is a member of “Boys<br />
Shed Night”, which is a group of dedicated workers who renovate dilapidated pieces of<br />
his<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be put <strong>on</strong> display at the museum. He has been part of the Special Events<br />
Committee who have raised an incredible sum of m<strong>on</strong>ey already for the upgrade of<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong>’s river fr<strong>on</strong>t. Back in the early 80’s he started the annual Horseshoe Throwing<br />
event at Pelican Point, raising m<strong>on</strong>ey for St. Johns, Senior Cits, Li<strong>on</strong>s etc. There is a<br />
perpetual trophy for the best shoes thrown for the day and is now called “The Aunty Bet Hausler Memorial Day”.<br />
Many thousands of dollars have been raised by this event. Both he and Nola have made many l<strong>on</strong>g-standing<br />
friends around the <strong>Morgan</strong> area who are really going <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> miss them. They have been the very best of neighbours <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
the Irvine family. There have been quite a few teary eyes over the last few weeks when people realized they were<br />
really leaving – there would be no more Wack <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> call <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> ‘just take a pho<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>’ or talk <strong>on</strong> the ABC radio about his<br />
beloved <strong>Morgan</strong> and it’s river. Even Baldy and Leanne are upset – Rum sales of Mt. Gay are set <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> drop rapidly<br />
without Nola <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> pop in for a bottle or two!<br />
There are many more parts <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> these two special people that could be written, you all have your own s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ries you<br />
could tell, but what we do want <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> say is enjoy Goolwa, we know you will make many new friends – think of us now<br />
and again.<br />
GOODBYE SPECIAL PEOPLE FROM YOUR FRIENDS IN MORGAN.<br />

His<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ric Vehicles mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ring <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
In 1906 an enthusiastic group of Burra mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rists formed the ‘Burra Mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r Club’ and planned their 13<br />
inaugural run over a rough bush track <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the busy river port <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wn of <strong>Morgan</strong>, some 82 kilometres away.<br />
Drivers rested their weary bodies at The Gums Stati<strong>on</strong> and <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>iled <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>Morgan</strong> the next day, arriving <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
a grand welcome and official pho<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>graphs in fr<strong>on</strong>t of the Commercial and Terminus Hotels.<br />
On Sunday Oc<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ber 10, 2010, The Burra Mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r Club will re-stage the memorable run <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>Morgan</strong> with<br />
some 30 cars and mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rcycles already entered.<br />
Enthusiasts from Adelaide and the Riverland will gather in Burra <strong>on</strong> Saturday for a lunchtime<br />
‘shake-down’ run <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Farrell Flat and an evening dinner before their 9am departure Sunday morning for<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong>...Again via The Gums where entrants will enjoy a refreshing morning tea.<br />
Invitati<strong>on</strong>s have been sent <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> vehicle clubs throughout the mid-north, Barossa and Riverland <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wns <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
join the festivities and already twenty <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> thirty vehicles have c<strong>on</strong>firmed their participati<strong>on</strong> from the<br />
Riverland Car Club.<br />
Participating in the run, from Nor’ West Bend is Sue and Kevin Pedder in their 1929 Reo Flying Cloud.<br />
“The Master” Boasting hydraulic brakes, electric start and a cruising speed of 90 kph, this American<br />
beauty is <strong>on</strong>e of <strong>on</strong>ly 86 known <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> exist world-wide.<br />
Also taking part will be father and s<strong>on</strong> team, Noel and Scott Howarth from <strong>Morgan</strong>. They will have two<br />
very noteworthy entries. A 1919 Indian mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rcycle and an ic<strong>on</strong>ic Bugatti.<br />
The Bugatti marque made a name for itself in the early 1900’s as a swift, lightweight racer and by the<br />
1920’s had made the transiti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> sophisticated road car and while they were expensive, quite a few<br />
were imported <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>Australia</strong>.<br />
Similarly the American made Indian mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rcycle also has a l<strong>on</strong>g his<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry as a racing machine and as early<br />
as 1906 held every speed record in the US. The Indian mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rcycle company of Springfield<br />
Massachusetts employed over 3000 people <strong>on</strong> its assembly line which stretched a massive seven miles<br />
throughout the fac<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry.<br />
Rod James, Chairman of the <strong>Morgan</strong> Community Development and Tourism Associati<strong>on</strong> says, “ We<br />
encourage any<strong>on</strong>e with a Veteran, Vintage or Classic collec<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r vehicle <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> join us at <strong>Morgan</strong> <strong>on</strong> Sunday<br />
Oc<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ber 10th.”<br />
“We are asking every<strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> have vehicles assembled <strong>on</strong> the Li<strong>on</strong>s Riverfr<strong>on</strong>t Reserve prior <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> 11.30am.”<br />
he said.<br />
The <strong>Morgan</strong> Li<strong>on</strong>s Club will be catering for lunch and after ample time <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> inspect the assembled<br />
collecti<strong>on</strong> of brass, nickel and chrome drivers will make their own way back home.<br />
“The original return journey <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ok four days and was made even more memorable having <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> battle a<br />
severe dust s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rm. This year we’re expecting wild flowers all the way”, Chairman, Rod James said.<br />

MORGAN POLICE REPORT<br />
In recent times there has been some media coverage of<br />
the impact of alcohol <strong>on</strong> crime and in particular the<br />
opening hours of licensed premises. Although our local<br />
hotels and other licensed premises d<strong>on</strong>’t have the same<br />
late trading times as the metropolitan area, we can still<br />
experience alcohol related crime. The recent incident<br />
involving damage <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the <strong>Morgan</strong> Police Stati<strong>on</strong> is <strong>on</strong>e<br />
example of this.<br />
It is important for every<strong>on</strong>e <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> understand the impact of<br />
alcohol <strong>on</strong> their own behaviour and the behaviour of<br />
others. Publicans and employees of licensed premises<br />
have resp<strong>on</strong>sibilities under the Liquor Licensing Act that<br />
include refusing <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> serve people that are in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>xicated.<br />
The reas<strong>on</strong> for this is obvious. But it is up <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> each<br />
individual <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> make appropriate choices and take<br />
resp<strong>on</strong>sibility for their own drinking and any subsequent<br />
behaviour.<br />
What many of the community may not be aware of is<br />
powers of Licensee’s and police <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> ‘bar’ people from<br />
licensed premises. These barring orders can prevent<br />
people from attending at certain pubs, bottle shops or<br />
other licensed premises for a number of reas<strong>on</strong>s<br />
including: behaved in an offensive or disorderly<br />
manner; committed an offence; any other reas<strong>on</strong>able<br />
grounds; and welfare. People can be barred for up <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
three m<strong>on</strong>ths <strong>on</strong> a first occasi<strong>on</strong> and l<strong>on</strong>ger for<br />
subsequent occasi<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
Some complaints have recently been received about the<br />
behaviour of patr<strong>on</strong>s leaving licensed premises,<br />
including people being in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>xicated, loud and disruptive<br />
when exiting the premises and making their way home.<br />
People who over indulge or commit behavioural or other<br />
offences whilst in<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>xicated can expect <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be barred from<br />
their local pub and potentially all other pubs in the<br />
surrounding area.<br />
As the warmer weather approaches, in additi<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
seeing me, you will see regular visits from members of<br />
the Waikerie, Blanche<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wn and Swan Reach Police<br />
Stati<strong>on</strong>s as well as officers from the Highway Patrol who<br />
will be targeting these types of offences al<strong>on</strong>g with<br />
traffic and other behavioural offences.<br />
I will also be speaking <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the Publicans and reinforcing<br />
their obligati<strong>on</strong>s in regards <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the resp<strong>on</strong>sible service of<br />
alcohol, so please take resp<strong>on</strong>sibility for yourself and<br />
look after your mates when they have had <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>o much.<br />
In an unrelated matter, I have received several ph<strong>on</strong>e<br />
calls from c<strong>on</strong>cerned residents regarding the driving<br />
behaviour of some people. On a few different occasi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
people walking their animals have nearly been hit by<br />
passing mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r vehicles. All they ask for is a little<br />
c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> when passing, either by slowing down or<br />
giving them some room.<br />

NASHO’S MEMORIAL DEDICATION<br />
SERVICE - CANBERRA<br />
On M<strong>on</strong>day September 6 th<br />
I was privileged <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be part of<br />
100 people in our group<br />
travelling <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Canberra for the<br />
Dedicati<strong>on</strong> of the Nati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
Service Memorial.<br />
We boarded the buses at<br />
5-30am, I travelled <strong>on</strong> the<br />
Sturt Highway bus with pickup s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ps in Munno Para,<br />
Renmark and Mildura, making 50 <strong>on</strong> our bus. The<br />
sec<strong>on</strong>d bus travelled via Murray Bridge and Pinnaroo,<br />
meeting us in Balranald for lunch. I’ve never seen the<br />
countryside so green or so wet as we made our way <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Canberra – a l<strong>on</strong>g day, reaching our Tuggeran<strong>on</strong>g<br />
motel at 11-45pm, needless <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> say we were all glad <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
“hit the hay”.<br />
An early start next morning, first for a <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ur of Parliament<br />
House, then across <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Old Parliament House, the<br />
aboriginal “tent city” still occupying the lawn areas<br />
between these famous buildings. Lots of <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>urist and<br />
school children also visiting these places. Next s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>p,<br />
the War Museum, for a short visit and our first glimpse<br />
of the Memorial – a busy spot with rehearsals taking<br />
place for the next days service. Back <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the motel as 69<br />
of the group had invitati<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the recepti<strong>on</strong> at<br />
Parliament House. Officials from Head Office and Subbranches<br />
naturally had invitati<strong>on</strong>s then remaining<br />
guests were selected by ballot – my name wasn’t<br />
drawn out!<br />
Friends reported it was held in the Great Hall, no seats,<br />
but plenty of drinks and finally finger food. The widows<br />
and/or mothers of the Nasho’s killed were special<br />
guests at both functi<strong>on</strong>s. Newly elected PM Julia<br />
Gillard, T<strong>on</strong>y Abbott and Br<strong>on</strong>wyn Bishop were<br />
am<strong>on</strong>gst the MP’s attending.<br />
Wednesday September 8 th and an early breakfast - the<br />
highlight being a Nasho in Scottish dress, serenading<br />
us <strong>on</strong> the bagpipes. We arrived at Anzac Parade by<br />
8-45am for most of the men <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> assemble for the<br />
parade. The rest of us made our way <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the seating<br />
area <strong>on</strong> the Eastern side of the War Museum. The<br />
weather was perfect, blue skies and a very warm sun.<br />
We had Nasho’s from both the1951-59 intakes and the<br />
1965-72 intakes, all looking smart in grey trousers, light<br />
blue shirts, navy blazer and beret and wearing their<br />
service medals. The march down Anzac Parade was<br />
impressive, led by the Queensland pipers, followed by<br />
the Nasho’s in the year they were drafted.<br />
My late husband Vic<br />
would have been in<br />
the 1952 intake,<br />
doing his training at<br />
Laver<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>n. I was<br />
proud <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> wear his<br />
medals that day.<br />
The Dedicati<strong>on</strong><br />
Service was quite<br />
moving – we heard it<br />
clearly, sadly <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>o far<br />
away <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> see it. Speakers were General Peter Cosgrove<br />
– Ret’d, Major Earle Jennings – Ret’d and the Governor<br />
General of Aust. Ms Quentin Bryce who unveiled the<br />
Commemorative Plaque. Two hymns were sung and<br />
I’m quite sure that every<strong>on</strong>e – between 3000 and 4000<br />
people – joined the Aust Rugby Choir in the singing.<br />
During the laying of the wreaths, a Scottish piper,<br />
Mr Ian Millard played the lament. The huge crowd was<br />
silent during the reciting of the Ode, the Last Post, the<br />
minutes silence and the Rouse <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be followed by our<br />
Nati<strong>on</strong>al Anthem. Just prior <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the departure of the<br />
official party, the Roulettes from the RAAF base did a<br />
fly past, just over our heads. It was a very moving and<br />
emoti<strong>on</strong>al service, <strong>on</strong>e I will remember in years <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
come.<br />
We were then able <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> inspect the Memorial – very<br />
impressive. It is dedicated <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> all <strong>Australia</strong>n Nati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
Servicemen, Nasho’s as we call them and in memory of<br />
those who died. More than 287,000 young men served<br />
in the Army, Navy and Air Force between 1951 and<br />
1972 and 212 men died, 2 in Borneo and 210 in<br />
Vietnam.<br />
The Memorial is a fountain – the moving water<br />
symbolizes the 212 Nasho’s who died. The sands<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ne<br />
plinth represents the Army, the water in the br<strong>on</strong>ze<br />
bowl represents the Navy and the Air Force is<br />
represented by the sky reflected in the polished Sth<br />
Aust black granite slab. The surrounding area is paved,<br />
a quiet peaceful spot. In the 1951-59 scheme, 6862<br />
Nasho’s were in the Navy, 23,500 in the Airforce and<br />
about 198,000 in the Army.<br />
Our day ended with a bus <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ur up Mt Ainslie lookout<br />
and a drive around the various embassies. Next<br />
morning an early start, 5-15am SA time <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> make our<br />
way home by 9-30pm – rather weary but grateful <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
have taken part in this w<strong>on</strong>derful event.<br />
I have an excellent book from the service, which lists<br />
(with pho<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>s), all<br />
Nasho’s killed in<br />
acti<strong>on</strong> –<br />
22 being from<br />
<strong>South</strong> Aust.<br />
I would be quite<br />
happy <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> show<br />
this book <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> any<strong>on</strong>e<br />
who is<br />
interested.<br />

Thank you - One recent cold windy Sunday evening my car battery unexpectedly “died”. I was <strong>on</strong><br />
<strong>Morgan</strong> Ferry at the time, - drove <strong>on</strong> okay, - suddenly, - no power. No time <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> panic, thanks <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the calm<br />
presence of a helpful Ferry Opera<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r. His first suggesti<strong>on</strong> (we push-start the car) was quickly ruled<br />
out, - au<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>matic vehicle. That up-hill ramp was a worry anyway. What <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> do Ph<strong>on</strong>e a friend The RAA<br />
Can’t stay stranded. Then from the cold mist another car pulled up beside mine. Another equally calm<br />
and helpful chap emerged, carrying jumper leads. Within moments the two had my car started. My<br />
grateful thanks <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> both were answered with a cheery wave, and friendly advice, - drive and d<strong>on</strong>’t stall.<br />
Thank you <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> my rescuers: <strong>Morgan</strong> Ferry Opera<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>r Glenn MacD<strong>on</strong>ald, for your assistance and<br />
knowledge, and the (as yet) un-identified driver, and his female passenger, who not <strong>on</strong>ly skillfully came<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> my aid, but voluntarily followed my car another 10 kms <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> ensure I got home safely. The kindness will<br />
not be forgotten. Thanks boys. Julie Daws<strong>on</strong> Daniels<br />

This year the kids <strong>on</strong>ce again dressed up as a “book<br />
character” for Book Week. A special assembly was held<br />
<strong>on</strong> Friday morning with a parade of costumes and then<br />
each student received their own book <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> keep which<br />
was d<strong>on</strong>ated by Governing Council. Some of our<br />
costumes included The Mad Hatter, Pirates, Jesse from<br />

class dressed up<br />
JUMP ROPE<br />
Our annual Jump Rope for Heart Jump Off <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ok place<br />
<strong>on</strong> Friday Sept 3 rd . Students have been practicing hard<br />
<strong>on</strong> their routines for a few weeks and they certainly put<br />
<strong>on</strong> a great display for parents and visi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rs. After the<br />
class routines, a delicious healthy lunch of Chicken<br />

DALE ELLIOTT VISIT<br />
Young ex Ramco man Dale Elliott (who is a motivati<strong>on</strong>al<br />
speaker, world record holder, comedian and paraplegic)<br />
recently visited <strong>Morgan</strong> Primary <strong>on</strong> a promoti<strong>on</strong>al <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ur.<br />
He has just returned from a hand cycling marath<strong>on</strong> with<br />
a fellow paraplegic mate from Melbourne <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Darwin <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
raise m<strong>on</strong>ey <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> treat children with club feet in Africa. He<br />
also showed video footage <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the students of his recent<br />
world record skydive in New Zealand. From his<br />
inspirati<strong>on</strong>al speech, the students have learnt that it’s<br />
not about what you “can’t do”, it’s about saying “I must”<br />
and just have a go!<br />
SCIENCE OPEN NIGHT<br />
The school recently invited families in for an open night<br />
as part of Science Week. Students had prepared and<br />
set up many experiments and games for parents <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
participate in.<br />
QUIZ NIGHT<br />
Our bi-annual quiz night was held also <strong>on</strong> Friday 3 rd<br />
Sept with a little more than interesting weather! As we<br />
prepared <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> move everything over <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the complex, a<br />
furious s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rm hit, washing everything out and cutting<br />
power. As they say – the show must go <strong>on</strong>. Thanks <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Gord<strong>on</strong> Johns<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>n and Will Lindner for supplying<br />
genera<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rs and lighting <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the complex, the mood was<br />
rather quirky then, 10 mins before start time, power was<br />
res<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>red!! A little late starting, the night proved <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be a<br />
great <strong>on</strong>e again. This year we ended up with 15 tables<br />
of eager competi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rs ranging from 8yrs <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> 79yrs of age!<br />
We had two bottle coin <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>sses and two lolly jar <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>sses<br />
for the kids. An aucti<strong>on</strong> of two holiday packages, a<br />
Crows footy, Port Power footy day pass and M<strong>on</strong>ar<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
Zoo pass al<strong>on</strong>g with our giant raffle, pushed our <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>tal<br />

THE “GREAT ESCAPE” VISIT<br />
On Thursday 16 th Sept the Cystic Fibrosis “Great<br />
Escape” Bash cars came <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> visit students at <strong>Morgan</strong><br />
Primary. There were four different bash cars <strong>on</strong> school<br />
grounds and students were able <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> sit in them, <strong>on</strong> them,<br />
set off the sirens and music and see what they were all<br />
about. A short speech was given <strong>on</strong> what Cystic<br />
Fibrosis is about and an inspirati<strong>on</strong>al book mark was<br />
handed out. The night before, a large c<strong>on</strong>tingent of students<br />
and parents greeted the bash cars at the ferry<br />
with a “Welcome <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>Morgan</strong>” banner made by the 2/3/4<br />
class. The kids enjoyed receiving free goodies as they<br />
crossed the river and eventually <strong>Morgan</strong>’s Wizard of Oz<br />
truck arrived with Lucy, Kenny and Clare Fry <strong>on</strong> board.
STRUGGLE TO SAVE HERITAGE DRY DOCK IN MANNUM<br />
Rising water levels in the Murray are good news for the river’s health,<br />
but for Flinders University archaeologists working <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> c<strong>on</strong>serve a<br />
unique 19 th century dry dock at Mannum, they create an added<br />
sense of urgency.<br />
Excavati<strong>on</strong>s in December last year yielded some of the<br />
structural secrets of the disused dry dock, which was used <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> repair<br />
and refit the paddle steamers that plied the Murray’s busy trade up<br />
until the 1920s.<br />
Staff and volunteers from the Mannum Dock Museum and a team<br />
of postgraduate and undergraduate students from Flinders will again<br />
work <strong>on</strong> the site with an architect and c<strong>on</strong>servati<strong>on</strong>ist in September<br />
Their aim is <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> complete a full picture of the dock’s structure and<br />
the envir<strong>on</strong>ment in which it sits.<br />
Originally built as a floating structure for use <strong>on</strong> Lake Alexandrina, the Randell Dry Dock was <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wed <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Mannum<br />
and installed <strong>on</strong>shore in 1876 by Captain William Richard Randell founding father of Mannum. The installati<strong>on</strong> of<br />
the Dock at Mannum greatly extended a small existing ship building and repair facility that had been<br />
developed by Captain Randell.<br />
It is estimated that over half of all vessels in use <strong>on</strong> the river system used the Dock at some time and its<br />
associated workshops c<strong>on</strong>sequently had a significant role in employing local shipwrights and tradesmen and provided<br />
the core required <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> maintain the local ship building industry.<br />
It is thought that <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong>e other comparable structure existed in Albany, Western <strong>Australia</strong>, from the same time<br />
period. Al<strong>on</strong>g with examples from Bermuda and Chile, the Mannum Dock is the <strong>on</strong>ly <strong>on</strong>e that has survived.<br />
Assessing possible threats <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the dock’s integrity from rising water levels will be part of the project.<br />
Archaeologist Britt Bur<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>n said that there was an urgent need <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> support and stabilise the dock’s timbers.<br />
“At the current rate of deteriorati<strong>on</strong>, there is a window of less than ten years in which <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> take major preservative<br />
acti<strong>on</strong>,” she said.<br />
“Bey<strong>on</strong>d this time the dock will probably be <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>o rotten <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> save. The Save Our Dry Dock group has researched<br />
opti<strong>on</strong>s <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> help slow down or halt the increasing rate of deteriorati<strong>on</strong>.”<br />
In the short term, c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> of a roof over the dock is being c<strong>on</strong>sidered.<br />
“These investigati<strong>on</strong>s by the Flinders University team are essential <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> assist in determining the right course of acti<strong>on</strong><br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> save our Dry Dock”, said Mannum Dock Museum Chairman, Rob Bowring.<br />
Rob further said, “The Randell Dry Dock is an integral piece of Mannum’s maritime his<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry and is <strong>on</strong>e of ic<strong>on</strong>ic<br />
attracti<strong>on</strong>s for our <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>wnship and the Mannum Dock Museum. Our ‘Save our Dry Dock’ committee is working tirelessly<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> implement a c<strong>on</strong>servati<strong>on</strong> plan <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> ensure Mannum does not lose this vital link <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the days of steam and<br />
wooden paddle wheelers and boats <strong>on</strong> the Murray”.<br />
The upcoming project will combine surveys and the<br />
digging of a two-metre pit in order <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> expose and document<br />
the structures of the dock. The group’s main aim is <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
produce a complete, detailed technical drawing of the<br />
dock, and activities will also include filming a short<br />
documentary <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> record the archaeological activities and<br />
overall project.<br />
Members of the public are encouraged <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> come and see<br />
the excavati<strong>on</strong> in acti<strong>on</strong>. The Randell Dry Dock is located<br />
at the river end of Mannum’s main street, next <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the<br />
ferry crossing at the Mannum Dock Museum.<br />

P.S.MARION - Living his<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry<br />
WOW. 8.30 am Wednesday 15th of September - 49 passengers embark <strong>on</strong> a journey back in time <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> 30<br />
re-live the byg<strong>on</strong>e days of the paddle steamer. For the next 9 hours the passengers wined, dined & were<br />
serenaded by Warren Hardiman as they enjoyed the ever changing scenery of the magnificent Murray River.<br />
Over four days from Wednesday 15 th <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Saturday 18 th September, 147 passengers including prize winners from<br />
the River News, Radio 5MU and The Murray Pi<strong>on</strong>eer, enjoyed the picturesque scenery of our great river<br />
between <strong>Morgan</strong> and Berri <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the sound of the steam driven paddle wheel. Delicious cakes for morning and<br />
afterno<strong>on</strong> tea were kindly baked by local ‘<strong>Morgan</strong>ites’ Sue Sutherland, Carol Leaney, Lorraine Bitmead and Di<br />
Hausler and these were devoured with glee.<br />
The PS Mari<strong>on</strong> is <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be slipped in Berri for repairs and maintenance before returning <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Mannum in several<br />
weeks time. The wheel house was a his<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry less<strong>on</strong> of it’s own. The <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>tally professi<strong>on</strong>al Captain Trevor Bedford<br />
guided the boat upstream and was accompanied by other legends of the professi<strong>on</strong> - Captains Le<strong>on</strong> Wagner<br />
(P.S.Ruby. Wentworth), Steven Coad and Dick Bromhead - and their knowledge of the River and its<br />
idiosyncrasies was amazing. The passi<strong>on</strong>ate and informative volunteer crew, <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>tally loyal <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the Mari<strong>on</strong> cause,<br />
handled their tasks <strong>on</strong> board with enthusiasm and kept every<strong>on</strong>e entertained with their experiences of the river<br />
and love of the paddle wheelers.<br />
Many of the passengers had an affinity with the boat as they had either worked <strong>on</strong> the Mari<strong>on</strong>, their father<br />
skippered her, or had other family c<strong>on</strong>necti<strong>on</strong>s with this proud old boat including R<strong>on</strong> Toole from Cadell who was<br />
a fireman <strong>on</strong> the Gem and the Mari<strong>on</strong> and June Vinder from Paringa the daughter of Captain William Drabsch.<br />
People lined the banks, waving, taking pho<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>graphs and asking how they could get <strong>on</strong> board.<br />
With the help of Deb Alexander, the four <strong>on</strong>e day cruises were a great success and although we <strong>on</strong>ly had a short<br />
time <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> organise and advertise these trips, we had a w<strong>on</strong>derful resp<strong>on</strong>se from people of all ages wishing <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
experience a day cruising up the Murray River <strong>on</strong> this magnificent old paddle steamer.<br />
Our thanks <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> the <strong>Morgan</strong> Museum for allowing these cruises <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be promoted and advertised under their banner<br />
and giving more visi<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rs the opportunity <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> see what <strong>Morgan</strong> has <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> offer. Thanks <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> CEO Dean Gollan for his<br />
support, the Mid Murray Council for the Community Bus and wood and the Mannum Dock Museum who kindly<br />
offered <strong>Morgan</strong> the opportunity <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> sell these day cruises aboard the PS Mari<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> raise additi<strong>on</strong>al funds for the<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong> Riverfr<strong>on</strong>t Precinct Project.<br />
Heather has received many enquiries from people from all walks of life who would love <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> be part of the return<br />
journey from Berri <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> her home Port of Mannum and has a list of their c<strong>on</strong>tact details at the ready.<br />
Here’s Hoping!<br />
Roderick Smith from Surrey Hills Vic<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ria travelled <strong>on</strong> all four days and has posted a w<strong>on</strong>derful report with<br />
pho<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>graphs <strong>on</strong> the website - www.paddleducks.co.uk -. This informati<strong>on</strong> is accessible by people worldwide and<br />
we have already received positive feedback <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> his s<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ry.<br />
(select Forum and then scroll down <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Recent Postings - PS Mari<strong>on</strong> Trip <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Berri)<br />
A boat trip down our amazing Murray River is a great experience but <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> travel <strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong>e of the his<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ric<br />
paddle wheelers like the PS Mari<strong>on</strong> is a journey back in time and we hope every<strong>on</strong>e gets the opportunity.<br />
Country Fuel Subsidy Axed<br />
<strong>South</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>n country mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rist will so<strong>on</strong> pay<br />
more for fuel after the State Treasurer, Kevin Foley<br />
announced he would axe the country fuel subsidy<br />
scheme.<br />
Under the scheme established in the mid 1980's <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
lessen the impact of higher fuel prices the further you<br />
travelled away from Adelaide, the State government<br />
introduced a subsidy of 3.3 cents a litre for unleaded petrol<br />
and 1.94 cents for <strong>on</strong> road diesel for distances<br />
greater than 100 kilometres from Adelaide.<br />
The peak mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>ring body, the RAA says by dropping the<br />
subsidy, <strong>South</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>n country mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rists will pay<br />
more for fuel, just as regi<strong>on</strong>al mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rists did in the other<br />
states when those schemes were cut.<br />
Its another blow for <strong>South</strong> <strong>Australia</strong>n mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g>rists who also<br />
face higher annual charges for a driving licence, plus a<br />
further $2 increase for licence and registrati<strong>on</strong> renewals.<br />

when the project was halted in pre-producti<strong>on</strong> stage.<br />
We are hopeful there will eventually be a “next stage”,<br />
as the amazing 1839 Expediti<strong>on</strong> from Nor’ West Bend<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Mt. Bryan, and eventful return <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> Bryan Creek, is an<br />

A new venture begins..<br />
A family venture has been<br />
33<br />
undertaken by local family Mickey and<br />
Laura O’Dea.<br />
They have chosen <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> remain in<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong> and start a gardening<br />
business called <strong>Morgan</strong> Mowing and<br />
Maintenance.<br />
As work in the area is sometimes hard<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> get rather than be forced <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> leave<br />
<strong>Morgan</strong> they recognised a need for a<br />
service that assists people in<br />
gardening and general odd jobs.<br />
Mickey is capable and reliable and will<br />
come and give you a quote for any job<br />
big or small. There has been a need<br />
for this service for some time and they<br />
should be quite successful with the support of local residents within <strong>Morgan</strong> and districts. Mickey’s<br />
specialty is gardening and will he extend his service <str<strong>on</strong>g>to</str<strong>on</strong>g> include cleaning of gutters, rubbish removal<br />
and general odd jobs. Why not call him <strong>on</strong> 0429177461 and get those annoying tasks taken care of<br />
before Summer.<br />
