WALWA WORLD Free - Donations Accepted A free monthly Walwa-Jingellic community newsletter covering the Upper Murray from Lankeys Creek to Tintaldra to Burrowye and from Ournie to Talmalmo November 2018 THE JINGELLIC SCHOOL - END OF AN ERA College. I had grown up in Sydney. We had all been awarded scholarships to attend tertiary education and thus were bonded to the Department of Education for two years … or pay a hefty penalty. So we had to accept a position wherever the department sent us. I was originally sent to Tumbarumba Primary School. I caught the train to Tumut and my brother and sister-in-law, who were at that stage living in Tumut, drove me to Tumbarumba. We secured lodgings and I started my teaching career teaching First Class in the Infants Department. However, it’s always a numbers game with schools and unfortunately the numbers were too low to keep an extra teacher, so with only five days there, I received “the telegram”! “Report to Jingellic Public School 9am Monday”. Unfortunately for me the only other new graduate sent to Tumbarumba played the piano … and I didn’t. So they kept her! As I didn’t even have a driver’s licence, nor did I have a clue My History With the Jingellic School where Jingellic was … once again my brother came to the rescue. Bron Smithwick In 1924 Miss Rhoda Beazley was sent to teach at the Jingellic School. She missed the mail coach which was the only form of transport between Holbrook and Jingellic, and had to be accommodated in Holbrook until the following Tuesday; The mail coach, a covered horse drawn wagon, was available on time the following Tuesday. I climbed with difficulty over the wheel and took my seat next to the driver. We commenced at about 9am on our long journey, delivering mail en route. The elderly driver was very kind, chatted all the way………. At Lankeys Creek, the nice ladies at the Inn gave me a cup of tea. At sunset we ascended a hill and he said to me; ‘close your eyes and open them when I tell you’. I did so and saw in the distance my little schoolhouse nestled amongst the elm trees and in the background the colours of the setting sun. Miss Beazley’s description of her arrival at Jingellic resonated with my own introduction. Thankfully a little easier than taking a whole day in a wagon to get from Holbrook! In 1973 I was fresh out of Armidale (northern NSW) Teacher’s We drove down the hill to Jingellic with my heart sinking … where on earth had they sent me to!!?? Added to my gloom was that it was pouring with rain. The village was so little! Only one shop! (owned by Reg and Gwen Wilson and I soon learnt that they would deal with anything … from sending off your dry cleaning to getting photos developed.) As I had no idea where I was to live, our first stop was at the Jingellic Hotel where I could rent a room. Edgar Holt was the owner and although he was kind, the local leering barflies left me cold. Mr Holt told me, that the Principal, Bob Thompson, was delighted he was to get a second teacher, and he could be found at the Apex (Cont’d on page 7) Walwa World November 2018 www.walwabushnursing.com Editor: Irene Palmer WATER AEROBICS GROUP Publisher: Kerrie Thompson PO Box 46 Corryong Pool Walwa VIC 3709 every Tuesday and Thursday Ph: 02 6037 1220 4-5pm Fax: 02 6037 1207 Pay for pool entry only.

  • Tumbarumba Tasted by Jancis Robinson

    Tumbarumba Tasted by Jancis Robinson

    Tumbarumba tasted by Jancis Robinson A cool-climate, bushfire-burnt Australian wine region that deserves to be better known. Tumbarumba in the foothills of the Australian Alps in the south of New South Wales (see this map) suffered particularly badly from the recent awful Australian bushfires, which, in a roundabout way, resulted in my being able to discover its wines, as I will explain on Saturday. The Tumbarumba Times picture above shows just how many fire trucks were needed in the region at the beginning of this year. The local paper also published this picture of a Pinot Meunier in the Courabyra vineyard after the Dunns Road fires on New Year's Eve. The discovery of 100% Tumbarumba wines was well worth making. Previously I had come across Tumbarumba fruit only as an ingredient in some of Australia's most ambitious Chardonnays from the big companies: Penfolds Yattarna and Eileen Hardy. But below are tasting notes on 33 all- Tumbarumba wines made by some of the region's best producers. As can often be the way in Australia, many of these producers are based outside Tumbarumba, or the wines are the produce of local growers who send their fruit outside the region to be vinified. I asked Alex McKay, who was for long Hardys man in charge of Tumbarumba grape-sourcing and now makes Collector Wines, for details. These are the local wine-producing growers with details: • Coppabella – Made at First Creek Wines in Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley, with Samantha Connew as consulting winemaker. Jason Brown has reinvigorated the old Tralee vineyard to produce Coppabella wine.

  • Water Cycle with Zero Discharge at Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill New South Wales - Australia

    Water Cycle with Zero Discharge at Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill New South Wales - Australia

    WATER CYCLE WITH ZERO DISCHARGE AT TUMUT PULP AND PAPER MILL NEW SOUTH WALES - AUSTRALIA OTTO SZOLOSI, Senior Projects Engineer - Water/Waste Water/Irrigation, [email protected] VISY PAPER PROJECTS, Building D, 13 Reo Crescent, Campbellfield, Victoria, 3061 Australia Abstract The Tumut Visy Pulp and Paper Mill is one of the cleanest mills in the world, reflecting Visy Industries’ commitment to sustainable manufacturing. Visy Industries have developed a new Pulp and Paper Mill in Tumut, NSW – Australia, which showcased innovative environmental and sustainable energy technologies, including the biggest continuous biomass energy facility in Australia. Construction of the mill began in 1999 and was complete it by 2001. Total investment in the project was AUD$435 million. The Tumut Mill used extensive industry experience and many well-known companies in the paper industry to engineer an advanced mill concept with zero levels of effluent leaving the site. Careful project planning included steps to minimise raw water intake, maximise reuse opportunities and reduce effluent. The Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill produces 300,000 tonnes of unbleached kraft pulp and paper board per year, from around 800,000 tones of pine plantation pulp logs and forest waste plus recycled paper, cardboard and sawmill residues, using advanced cleaner production technology and achieving significant reuse. Per tonne of pulp, it is one of the most resource efficient and pollution free operations in the world. Its raw water consumption (4.61 m3/tonne of paper) and effluent discharge (1.53 m3/tonne of paper) are believed to be the lowest in the world. Treated effluent is irrigated on a 110 ha farm, around the Mill producing fodder for cattle.
