You will have an Island Exodus’ opportunity to view an exhibition of photographs By local studies librarian Jo Oliver of the child evacuees who came from Croker Island to Otford during World War II. In 1942, 95 Aboriginal children from a mission station, along with their three cottage mothers, escaped the threat of Japanese invasion. Travelling from Croker Island in the Northern Territory, by foot, boat, canoe, truck and train, the children arrived in Otford. There, they lived at the Methodist Conference Centre and attended local schools until 1946. The image, at left, from the exhibition shows two girls – Mavis Kelso and Ruby Brawn – who met because of the exodus and became friends at Scarborough Public School during that time.

July 25 Winter wonders Red, orange and gold flowers are lighting up Illawarra Grevillea Park, writes John Elton.

It is amazing how many grevilleas and other natives are in flower in winter. There are some stunning plants to see, from the bold to the intricate. Grevillea ‘Elegance’ (at left) is always a favourite at the Park and it is coming into bloom. It makes a bold statement if planted in a spot that allows it room to grow. It has a somewhat weeping habit and finely divided dark green leaves. The large bright red flowerheads are simply brilliant. Want bright yellow flowers? Then go no further than Grevillea ‘Kimberley Gold’ (pictured left). The parents of this plant comes from the Top End, so it likes a nice warm position. The grape-like clusters of flowers hang down and are a great contrast with the grey-blue foliage. And if your preference is orange then ‘Amber Blaze’ is still in flower. It draws the eye with its large bright, large, orange flowers. The Grevillea Park is just behind the Bulli Showground and is open the first two weekends in July. 2515

July 29 On this chilly May evening, a number of families with their children gathered before the council meeting to show their support for these actions to be implemented in the Wollongong LGA as a matter of urgency. Slower speeds on local, non-arterial streets have a significant impact on the safety of road users. Slower speeds have minimal impact on travel times and can actually reduce congestion, especially during busy school drop-off and pick-up times. To travel 3.5km in an urban area, walking at an average speed of 5km/h will take 42min. Riding a bike at 15km/h is three times faster, i.e. 14 minutes. Driving a car will take 10 minutes if the speed limit is 30km/h or eight minutes when the speed limit is 50km/h. While the impact of lower speed limits on travel time is minimal, the increase in safety for people in cars, walking or cycling is significant. In Wollongong most people live within 1km-3.5km of an arterial road. Who wouldn’t give up two minutes a day to make sure our children are safe?

32 July Surfing’s junior state titles are coming to town and Austinmer’s Short sisters – Zahlia, 15, and Shyla Shyla, 13 – are looking forward to competing on home ground. From 14 to 21 July, 300 of NSW’s best junior surfers are set to descend on the Wollongong coast for the 2021 Woolworths NSW Junior State Titles, presented by Ocean and Earth. Zahlia, in grade 9, and Shyla, in grade 8, will both be competing in the U16 girls category. One competition. Two sisters. Same age group.

They’re best friends. “Honestly, it might sound strange to people but Zee is my best friend no doubt,” says Shyla. “We are so close in age we do everything together – train Cover for comps, surf, dance, have the same friends, feature school and travel.” “Shyla and I are super competitive but it’s an advantage for us, I think, being in the same age group – most of the time,” Zahlia says. “We push each other and Shyla is usually really motivated to beat me because she’s younger. “We definitely lift each other’s performances being so close.” What’s it like to be a teenager juggling high school, surf training, social media and top-level competition?

And there was Ian with his big beard, smoking cigarettes, drinking Paul Ryan a beer and making these critters. At the age of 16, that was my first insight into what an artist could be. I think Ian is one of the great Australian artists. He was such a generous man and he loved his students. What happened after TAFE? Four years straight of surfing on the dole! We were the Bob Hawke surf team! (Laughs.) How does your experience in the ocean influence your work? I do lots of paintings of the Northern Illawarra. It’s almost like a stage set. Years spent sitting out there on a surfboard, all those wasted years on the dole, I’ve always been looking and absorbing and seeing the escarpment couched in all its many moods, always different sorts of weathers. The perspective is from the water looking back to the land, which in turn feeds into my colonial work, which has a lot With the Contemporary Art Fair opening at to do with the first view of this landscape by Cook Clifton School of Arts on 2 July, co-curator as he sailed up the coast in the Endeavour.

And a few wisps of smoke here and there coming out, which would have been the only sign that they could tell that there were Paul Ryan’s striking, often provocative paintings are inhabitants there somewhere. As a visual artist, you sort by collectors both in Australia and tend to think about the people who lived here internationally. Many feature the Northern before we came. What were their stories? Who Illawarra coast and escarpment as seen from the were they and how did they survive? ocean. A Thirroul local, Paul has been surfing as long as he has been painting. Tell me about the work that you’re putting into the Clifton Contemporary Art Fair. When did you start surfing? It’s part of a series I’ve been working on this year on I started surfing about the age of 15. I was living sailing ships. I’ve been thinking a lot about the near Wollongong University at the time. stories I’ve heard of the Indigenous Australians. I would catch the train up every weekend with a The first thing they saw of the Europeans were surfboard. It was actually surfing that really these sails on the horizon. You could just imagine introduced me to the wonders of the Northern this mysterious white. The pure definition of a Illawarra landscape. I’d be getting off the train just UFO. Unidentified floating object! In some of the as the sun was rising. And there would be the paintings the ship is reflected in the ocean. Some of escarpment with the sun hitting it. You’d hear the the ships are being wrecked on the coast. I know sound of the waves. I just remember that it was indigenous people had words for those spaceships magical. And I fell in love with Thirroul and they saw. But I can’t use those words. I’m fascinated everything north of Thirroul, at the age of 15. with the idea that they were just living their life and And that love affair continues to today. then one day, these forms came past, these white forms and they must have thought, “The ancestors After you left high school, you went to TAFE. You are returning!” Their words meant something like met the sculptor Ian Gentle at about this time. “white ghosts and death”. They couldn’t have been Yes. At that time Ian Gentle was living in what is more spot-on because that’s what it brought upon now the Clifton School of Arts. Downstairs was his them, wasn’t it? really grubby living quarters. Upstairs was his studio where he made his work which he called his Paul, I’ve always considered you to be a bit of a “critters”. He would go out in the bush and come provocateur. Is that the role of the artist for you? back with all sorts of beautiful sticks he’d found. To push back against the status quo, to challenge 36 July how our community operates? Some artists are provocateurs and I think that there’s an important role to be played there. I often have my art dealers begging me to tone things down a bit and make things less provocative. But I’m always looking for something new, some new way to make a mark, to make an image or a new idea to come up with. That’s what has always driven me. I’m lucky enough that the collectors and buyers follow me on that journey. Has this part of the world changed significantly since you’ve been living here? I’ve lived around the area for about 40 years, and I’ve seen major demographic change. A lot of the people I grew up with are either dead or in jail. Growing up here, there was this strange, sort of insular culture, xenophobic, suspicious of anyone different. There was heavy drinking and drug taking. A lot of that has gone and I think that’s bloody good. But let’s just hope that this place doesn’t get too gentrified to the point where all the artists and writers, filmmakers, musicians and poets end up leaving. That would be really sad. Because it is one of the things that makes this place so liveable and such a wonderful community for those of us who feel part of it. 2515

Have you seen more girls enter the water? While I was competing, I was studying and, Absolutely! When I began surfing it was nearly among other things, a surf instructor for beginner 99% males, now we have multiple female divisions surfers.
