On Sunday, 5th December this year , the congregation of the Greenwell Point
Union Church will be celebrating the 120th anniversary of the laying of the
foundation stone.
The church was financed by the Berry Estate, the bequest of the late David
Berry, and the stone was laid by Mrs H.G. Morton on 3rd December 1890.
The church was officially opened at noon on Wednesday 10th June1891
with 4 clergy taking part and 200 local people attending. Aft er such a wonder-
ful occasion, the church played a central role in the community for many years.
Unfortunately during the late 30's and early 40's, it fell into disrepair. The
school was also closed at this time (from 1940 to 1952) because of low
attendance - things were grim. However due to the enthusiasm of the local com-
munity, the hard work of the Trustees and later, the Ladies Auxiliary, the res-
toration of the church began. We can, now, in 2010 be very grateful
for the hard work and dedication begun over a century ago, with a huge effort
over the hal f century mark that enables us to worship The Greenwell Point Un-
ion Church along with her sister church at Meroo Meadow, is quite unique in
that it truly belongs to the community, where Ministers and worshipers from
all Christian denominations can hold services in the church , whether they be
celebrations of worship , weddings, funerals or Christenings.
At present, we have regular Sunday
Services at 8 am, held by All Saints Anglican Church, Nowra Presbyte-
rian Church and Nowra Uniting Church. A Bible Study group meets on
Tuesday during the school weeks. The 120th Birthday Celebrations are
for the whole community. It will take the form of a Thanksgiving service at 2
pm followed by afternoon tea in the Community Hall

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
GAS CONTINUED 'Further to my outrageous outburst and
rant regarding being charged $20.00 per cylinder by the gas supply company,
and having been told by the phone-person that "you're not the sort of cus-
tomer we want". I organised to have the previous gas supply company pick up
their cylinders from my premises and contacted another gas supply company
which does not charge a service fee per cylinder and supplies gas at the same
rate. I fully expected to be sent a refund
cheque by the previous company for the gas not used in a cylinder delivered on
18/05/10 and picked up on 29/07/10 and which had not been turned on up until
the cylinders were removed. I was pre-pared to forego the small amount which
would have been left in the other two cylinders however, being an age pen-
sioner, to lose $99.00 is rather a bite out of the household budget (such as it is.)
Nothing was heard from the past gas supplier so I contacted their office only
to be told that "the driver says that all three cylinders were empty". I disputed
the fact and was referred to the general manager who rang me the following day
and re-affi rmed the claim made by the driver. The manager also went to the
trouble of scouring the records of use on our account and came up with the amaz-
ing statistic that "going on your previ-ous use of gas, those cylinders would
have all been empty by the time we picked them up."
This, of course, raises the question; What were we using to cook with before
the new gas supplier turned up with three new cylinders?
In the course of this conversation the manager let it drop that this company
holds over 5,000 clients. Allowing for the possibility that each account has 2
cylinders, that means that, at worst, that gas company is also holding over
$200,000.00 in spurious fees paid by customers who have coughed-up for the
service fee they have no rights to. Not bad lolly for doing bugger-all.
The good news, folks, is that there is another gas supply company which

THE GOOD OLD DAYS
We met and we married a long time ago,
We worked for long hours when wages were low,
No TV, no wireless, no bath, times were hard,
Just a cold water tap and a walk in the yard.
No holidays abroad, no carpets on floors,
We had coal in the fire and we didn’t lock doors,
Our children arrived, no pill in those days,
And we brought them up without any state aid.
They were safe going out to play in the park,
And old folks could go for a walk in the dark.
No valium, no drugs and no LSD, We cured most of our ill with a good
cup of tea. No vandals, no muggings, there was
nothing to rob, We felt we were rich with a couple of
bob. People were happy in those far off days,
Kinder and caring in so many ways. Milkman and paper boy would whistle
and sing, A night at the pictures was our one mad
fling. We all got our share of trouble and
strife, We just had to face it – that’s the pattern
of li fe. Now I’m alone and look back through
the years, I don’t think of the bad times, trouble
and tears. I remember the blessings, our home and
our love, And that we shared them together, I
thank God above.

of Bob Hill of Klimpton Press. Klimp-ton Press publishes the Gazette. Mike
says, he was a man who just couldn't g i v e u p w o r k t o r e t i r e .
He says, Bob always had a cheery word to say and was always most obliging in
getting small jobs done without a grum-ble. He was a true Aussie gentleman
and will be sorely missed by many busi-ness people of the Shoalhaven region
who had dealings with him.

SCHEME PROPOSED FOR TELSTRA SITE
A scheme has been proposed and set out by the Council. It com-
plies with the Village Master-
plan.
The existing undeveloped part of
the Telstra exchange is both unat-tractive and a waste. The new
scheme will display an attractive
gateway to the main business
area of the Point.
GTTP intends to submit the scheme to Telstra requesting
them to implement the scheme.
Telstra have improved their left
over land in other parts of the
country. The scheme involves about half
the site leaving the remainder to
Telstra facilities.
A garden of 138 m2 would in-
clude native screening shrubs (to 4m) adjacent to the fence to
screen the Telstra facility. Low
shrubs and grasses adjacent to
paths and seats.
Two seats are positioned towards the centre of the park. Six trees
would be planted along Jervis
Street and into the park. A path
would run through the park to the
seats.
The Telstra site at present from Jervis St

14 APRIL 1885 Oyster Reserve - The foreshores of Goodnight Island situated in
the Crookhaven River, opposite
Greenwell Point, are declared to
be exempt from the power of
leasing, and to be a public oyster reserve.
Main Road 92
West from Greenwell Point For anyone heading west from
Greenwell Point, there is a new road between Nowra and Ner-
riga. Then from Nerriga to Ta-
rago and beyond the road is not
new, but good.
I thought I would give it a go when I was heading east, back
from Wagga, to Greenwell Point.
I thought anything to avoid the
Barrengarry and Cambewarra
mountain roads. I managed to get to Tarago (on the back road be-
tween Goulburn and Canberra). I
remember Tarago well, when I
worked as a young engineer on
the construction of a huge mine there, in the 1970s. Tarago is 67
km from Canberra (south), 40 km
from Goulburn (north) and 61 km
from Gunning (west). From here
it took me one and a half hours to Greenwell Point. There was only
4 km of gravel road and not a lot
of traffic, yet it was a road that
needed concentrat ion, with
speeds varying between 80 and 100 kph. The only problem we
had was three caravans that were
travelling in convoy and refused
to move over for us to overtake
on the section from Tarago to Nerriga.
The new road from Nerriga to
Nowra is great except for very
conservative speed limits of 60 to
80 kph between Nerriga and
Tianjara Falls. The stretch from Tianjara to Nowra is an easy 100
kph road. The scenery of rock
formations on the ascent from
Nerriga are spectacular as is the
waterfall at Tianjara. On the older road from Tarago to
Nerriga we crossed the upper reaches of the Shoalhaven River
at Oallen. This was a low level
crossing and weight limited. I
suspect that this crossing is very
subject to flooding in downpours. It was great to see our river from
the other end.
I am sure that the new road will
be good for Greenwell Point
businesses. It will bring in many more Canberra holiday makers.
As we headed east, at the end of
the school holidays, nearly every
car heading towards us was had
an ACT number plate returning home after their holiday.

“Greenwell Point was a great place to fish then,” John explains.
“You could go prawn trawling,
use long lines, go trapping, catch
king fish.”
Southern Gull II followed in 1979, but seven years later John
and Sheila decided to pull in the
lines and sold the boat.
“Typical of an ex-fisherman, I
quickly found a job at the Green-well Point Hotel as a barman/
cellarman and stayed 21 years,”
John says with a laugh.
Never one to be left at home,
Sheila started work as a volun-
tary secretary at the school which soon turned into a full-time
cleaning job. In 1988, 13 years
after she started, she finally put
down her duster.
John and Sheila joined the Greenwell Point Volunteer Bush
Fire Brigade (now GP Volunteer Rural Fire Brigade) in 1974 and
were active members for 35
years, retiring and becoming life
members last year.
John was captain and Sheila sec-retary treasurer from 1993 to
2004.
“It was like being part of a big
happy family,” Sheila says.
“There was a real sense of achievement.”
The brigade took John to
hotspots all over NSW, not
just responding to bush fires
but also to house fires, car accidents and storm events.
“It was a time of great ca-
maraderie,” John says, add-
ing with a grin: “And al-
lowed me to get dirty with-out getting into trouble.”
John also played Santa on
the fire truck every Christ-
mas Eve, tossing lollies to
the delighted children of Greenwell Point.
In 1998 the Milnes were part of
the team involved in designing
and building the new fire station
in Greenwell Point Rd. John and Sheila have written two
books about their beloved bri-
gade: Greenwell Point Fire Bri-
gade History and Black Christ-
mas and New Year 2001-02. Their efforts with the rural fire
service have been recognised,
with both receiving a National
Medal for Service.
But their public duties didn’t end there. During the 1970s John was
the president and Sheila the sec-
retary of the Crookhaven Sharks
Amateur Sports and Recreation
Club. Jeni Harvie
WHO’s WHO at the POINT John and Sheila Milnes
The Sheila and John Milnes story
begins in 1958 when they were
just 14 and 15 respectively. John quickly took a shine to the
bonny lassie Sheila, who had ar-
rived in Wollongong from Scot-
land several years earlier, and in
1962 marched her down the aisle to the alter.
At the time John was an ap-
prentice boilermaker with Aus-
tralian Iron and Steel and
Sheila worked as credit manag-eress for Waltons and then
Woolworths.
They settled at Lake Illawarra
and it wasn’t long before their
first bouncing baby arrived: a premie Sharon weighing in at 9
pounds!
A year later son Ken was born
and six years after that, in 1970, Michelle put in an ap-
pearance.
The recession of the late 1960s
made work difficult for John
prompting him to jump ship – literally – to join the Wollongong
fishing fleet.
In the early 1970s, he bought his
own trawler, Southern Gull I, in
partnership with his brother-in-law and the family moved to
Greenwell Point.

CLASSIC GREENWELL
POINT 24 October This event was held with over 60 teams, comprising top enders,
kayaks and tinnies. Plastic lures
with a catch and release policy
saw very keen competition over a
very cold and rainy day. A few hundred people lined the
foreshores of Titania Park around
2 pm to witness the fantastic
scramble for the weigh in and to
catch sight of the fish caught. All fish were weighed and placed in
the mobile aquarium for later re-
lease. Hopefully they all swam
away safely to experience an-
other tournament. The organisers should be commended for organ-
ising a catch and release tourna-
ment, a policy that more fishing
clubs should encourage.

PROPOSAL FOR AN INDIAN MYNAH BIRD ERADICATION PROGRAMME FOR GREENWELL POINT by Phil Reeves
BACKGROUND The Indian mynah was introduced
into Australia in 1862 to control insect pests in Melbourne Market Garden and in 1883 it was used in N. Queensland to control insect pests in sugar cane crops.
Unfortunately, this bird has adapted to the Australian environ-ment so successfully that it: - is fast becoming our #1 feral en-
emy (in 2005 it beat the cane toad and feral cat for the honour of “Pest of the Year”) - has been declared the second greatest threat to native birds after
land clearing - Is becoming more and more prominent along Australia’s east-ern seaboard, pushing relentlessly
north, south and westward UNSAVOURY HABITS This extremely aggressive bird chases out native birds from nest-ing hollows, sometimes even eject-
ing chicks from the nest, and even eating them. They build large nests which usu-ally rot after they’ve vacated, mak-
ing that tree hollow unusable for our native birds. They love nesting in roofs of houses where their accumulated droppings and mites can become a
breeding ground for disease (example – asthma, hay fever, and have the potential to spread sal-manellosis, Newcastle disease,
Avian influenza and infections leading to pneumonia) These nests also pose a fire hazard
when built in roofs or holes in our houses.
It is now a pest bird in many re-gions from Singapore to the Sey-chelles and has pushed native bird populations towards extinction in Polynesia, Hawaii and Mauritius.
ERADICATION PROGRAMME (OR JUST TACKLING THE PROBLEM) Councils and community groups
up and down the coast have, after several years of intense research, introduced several initiatives to stem the spread of the “flying cane toad” by:
- tracking the spread of the birds - education and awareness pro-grams - development and trial of traps
- efforts to minimize availability of food scraps around petrol stations and roadside restaurants ( can be extended to backyards as myna’s love those pet kibbles)
What we now propose for Green-well Point is a coordinated exer-cise whereby a number of traps are purchased and placed strategically
around the village. We would be seeking community support in the form of: - donations to assist with the pur-chase of traps, bait etc
- availability of trap sites - Hands on assistance with the in-stallation/removal of traps and the euthanisation of the trapped birds.
(this is done with the support of RSPCA and it is humanely exe-cuted) - feedback on the effectiveness of
any actions aimed at the trapping of the mynah The Loosemore families, proprie-tors of the Black Marlin have of-fered their premises as a central
site for donations, expressions of support and a site for sign up lists to help with trap sites and/or euthanizing.
Anyone interested in discussing this matter further can contact Phil Reeves or Karey de Bakker on 4447 0812.

Visibility at intersections. Intersection
of Greens Road & Greenwell Point Road – visibility is restricted and haz-
ardous. Also trees are hanging onto the road near the intersection of Jervis
Street & Comerong St. Council will be asked to clear these problem areas up.
Council advised that the outcome of a tree inspection at the intersection of
Greenwell Point Rd & Greens Road determined that under pruning of the
growth is warrant ed. It is envisaged that this identified work will be carried
out prior to 30 November 2010, weather permitting.

concern to holiday makers and perma-
nent residents. Suggestion was raised
for more lighting within this area to
deter this behaviour taking place and for
residents and visitors to feel safe and
secure at Greenwell Point. Police ad-
vised all complaints be made to them.

One of the main activities of scouting is Jota/Joti which is
talking to cubs and scouts all
over the world. Shaun Duryea,
Tom Labrocque and Ben Rain-
bow were all able to talk to cubs from Canada, Scotland and West-
ern Australia. They then went on
a blind folded walk and learnt
how to build an emergency shel-
ter. The cubs chose and ran their games as a lesson in leadership.
A visit to the SES where we
learnt about what their role in the
community is. We also got to
see, first hand, all the equipment and emergency vehicles that they
use. A visit from the Ambulance
Service is in the pipeline. Hope-
fully they will be able to bring an
ambulance and their rescue truck. Julie Brown
is $4.00 if you do not have raffle tickets but only $2.00 if you do,
it does not matter if you come
alone as there will always be a
place for you at one of the tables.

things are located.
