“WORKING FOR A POSITIVE LIFESTYLE AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT IN OUR COMMUNITY”
HARDYS “STORM” BAY
H
ardys Bay became Storm Bay during the storm of
April 20th-23rd. With wind waves over a meter
high and wind gusts up to 45 knots (90kph), the storm
was designated as a Category 2 cyclone! Not only
was there devastation for some boats in the Bay and
Brisbane Water generally (a reported 45 plus boats
broke their moorings), but also there was even greater
devastation to the Killcare, Hardys Bay, Wagstaffe
Peninsula. With so many trees and power lines down,
it was considered the worst storm since 1974.
There were many wonderful acts of community
caring and pulling together as well as some harrowing
experiences. A tree fell on a car driving along Heath
Road; we are pleased to report the driver was unhurt.
Not so a well-known sailor moored in the bay who
took a bad fall on board. Emergency services were
unable to reach him so the Police asked the HBRG
to provide a vessel to get emergency personnel out to
him. HBRG did so only to have the ambulance people
decline to use a private vessel. It was 18 hours later that
Roads and Maritime vessel attended and got him off.
However the magnificent effort by our local Firies
and all the other emergency services was greatly
appreciated by the community. The Hardys Bay Club
hosted a “Thank You” party for all services. Auctions
and raffles raised over $2,300, thanks to donations

President’s Message
Welcome to our winter, “Storm” edition of
Bay News.
In this issue, we highlight some of the results
from the late April storm, and in particular how
our wonderful community all pulled together to
help. We also highlight the work being done at
mudflat creek and other items of interest and a
profile on some new Australian citizens who just
love the Bay.
We extend a warm welcome to all new
members and are proud, too, of our rapidlyincreasing membership ranks. We particularly
wish to thanks the many people supporting us
with much appreciated donations and remind
everybody that new members are always
welcome.
We always look forward to receiving the
community’s comments and particularly wish
to thank the many people who are working so
hard to assist in achieving recent successful
outcomes.
Working in such conditions can be quite
dangerous. While the Killcare Firies were out assisting
the Community,a large tree fell and squashed one of
the Killcare Firies’ cars parked at Killcare Station.
On another occasion, a large tree fell and narrowly
missed one of our Fire vehicles but it brought power
lines down over the vehicle. The Volunteers inside the
vehicle at the time were shocked at how close the tree
came to hitting them. They were not allowed to exit
the vehicle until Ausgrid arrived and declared that the
power lines on the vehicle were dead.
Such a Storm brings to the forefront how isolated
our Community can be. It reminds us that we personally
need to be prepared for a range of natural disasters, e.g.
bushfires and storms. Everyone should make sure that
they complete their “Bushfire Survival Plan” (located
on the NSW RFS website) and their “Home Emergency
Plan” (located on the NSW SES website).
Lastly, Killcare Firies would like to thank the
Community again for their great support! Best Wishes to all
Adrian Williams

KILLCARE FIRIES
M
ichelle Biddulph, Killcare RFS captain, reports
on the vital work of the local brigade.
The Killcare Firies were extremely busy
throughout the recent storm which caused havoc
within our Community. The way our Community
pulled together is a great reminder that we live in a
great area with great people! Whilst the Firies were
out working to re-establish normality within our area,
Community members and local businesses ensured
that we were continually being fed and assisted where
possible. This wouldn’t have been easy considering
that we were all out of power at the time. A special
mention goes to The Fat Goose Café whose support
was extraordinary and the Hardys Bay Club for
putting on the Post Storm Party.
Our biggest day was on Wednesday 22 April when
we established Killcare Station as a local Control
Centre for the day’s operation. Killcare Firies, as well
as Pearl Beach and Narara Brigades, worked tirelessly
to clear roads and driveways to re-establish access and
worked in conjunction with Ausgrid personnel to get
our power restored.

PROFILE
NORMA & BRUCE
P
roud New Australians,
after living in Australia
for 51/2 years, Norma and
Bruce Cadwallader became
Australian
citizens
on
Australia Day this year and are
welcome and well known local
Killcare/Hardys Bay residents.
Following retirement from busy working lives in
Cheshire in the North West of England where Norma
was Director of Education and Children services for
the Borough of over 200,000 residents and Bruce
a civil engineer engage in a variety of engineering
projects, they have settled on the Bouddi peninsula.
Having visited Australia many times previously to
visit their daughters and family they knew from searching
the coast that their future was here in the Central Coast.
The attraction to Killcare/ Hardys Bay was
its natural beauty, it’s accessibility to Sydney and
welcoming community said Norma. Both have joined
in nearly all the local community activities, with
Norma being a keen winter swimmer and Tai Chi
participant and Bruce enjoying his fishing both at the
beach and estuary. It was important to them both to
be able to join and contribute to the local community
which they have certainly done.
They are enjoying travelling within Australia and
like many local residents just love to come home to
the Bay.
With grandsons both here and in Sydney, it’s a busy
time for them both as they search for a permanent
residence. “ It’s the proximity to the Beach, Bay and
Bush “ says Bruce that makes” Killcare/ Hardys Bay
such an attractive place to live and we just love it”.
Norma and Bruce are committed Aussies now and
also Boudi devotees.

SURF CLUB REPORT

Geoff Bown - Club Captain & Greg Linnert
nother good season has come to an end for
the Killcare SLSC. On the beach preventative
actions meant that no major rescues needed to be
performed and no lives were lost. A big thank you goes
out to all patrolling members for their service to the
community again this summer and their dedication
to ensuring our beautiful beach remains safe.
Competitively Killcare SLSC had a very good
season again this summer. Whilst not as productive in
the medal race at the major carnivals we did see a large
increase in the number of our members competing
at many carnivals throughout the summer. It was
pleasing to note that many of our Nipper and junior
members have begun to compete and attended many
carnivals both locally and in Sydney throughout the
season, exposing them to some national standard
competition. The ability to win events at these larger
carnivals is very pleasing. There were some notable
performances from many of the juniors, especially
Chloe Penn and the Under 15 girls beach relay team.
The Open Men’s Beach relay team also did extremely
well at the branch titles at Terrigal this year.
The State titles, again held locally at Umina and
Ocean Beach, saw our younger members do well
against some very tough competition in the open and
age championships. In the masters category Kellie

Robinson came away with a gold medal in the 45 49 beach flags, Michaela Hofer won two silvers in
the 40/44 beach flags and beach sprint, Leah Fotofili
received the bronze medal in the 35/39 women’s
beach sprint and the 140year women’s beach relay
team (Michaela Hofer, Laura Washington, Tegan
Spackman and Leah Fotofili) came away with a
bronze medal.
The Australian Titles were held again on the Gold
Coast this year with competitor numbers increasing
dramatically over the last year. Killcare sent a team
of Master competitors only, including a mens and a
women’s boat crew and 5 beach competitors. The
Ladies 180 years boat crew came away with a very
impressive bronze medal coming 3rd in their event
after a very exciting final. The men’s crew made the
Semis, their best ever performance. Micky Hofer
gained a 3rd place in the beach flags, and also a 4th
in the sprint. Kelly Robinson as usual performed well
to gain 4th in the over 45 beach flags, as did Tegan
Spackman. Leah Fotofili placed 4th in the over 35
ladies sprint and was a finalist in beach flags. New
member Tanja Arienzale learnt a lot at the Aussies
and will be a force next year.
Aussies to be held on the Sunshine coast next year
for the first time for many years and we hope to take a
large team to this Carnival. MUDFLAT CREEK - 2ND STAGE
T
he second stage of the Mudflat Creek restoration,
the new bridge in Noble Road, was opened on
Friday, May 22. The new bridge has walkways on both
sides so that when kerb and guttering comes to Noble
Road, it won’t have to be modified. Council have now
allocated the money to complete the third stage in
2015-16. This will provide drainage back to the two
large pipes that drain the middle and much of the
southern section of Fraser Road. The creek in front
of these pipes has in it over 2 metres of silt discharged
from the pipes, which currently compromises the
drainage in much of Fraser Road.
Local residents expect that the engineering of the
new bridge will prove to be superior to that of the old
bridge. Fortunately, the partially built bridge survived
the April 20-23 storm when the peak storm surge
affected tide covered the uncompleted structure by
approximately 30cm.
Local residents hope that Council will finish the
final stage of this project before the next massive east
coast low hits NSW.
Unfortunately early NSW settlement records
indicate that these storms became very prevalent
during the grand solar minimum that occurred during
the first 40 years or so of European settlement. They
apparently were much more intense than those that
have occurred in the intervening 180, or so, years. At
this stage many solar physicists believe the new grand
minimum, which commenced about 5 years ago, will
produce similar climatic conditions to the one that
occurred two centuries ago.
Council have assured local residents that the new
creek will be regularly maintained. We are advised
that, given the amount of sand and silt that has already
been washed down the creek since the first stage was
completed, the first maintenance of the creek will be
undertaken before work on Stage 3 commences.
