were transformed by Leah Doeland and a community yarn project with a team of more than 200 locals.

“It’s been exciting to see a variety of public spaces beautified,” said Ms Doeland.

“The addition of colourful murals and public art installations entices the community to explore and interact with areas that used to feel unwelcoming.”

The corner of Clarence and Murray Streets has seen a new artwork created by Lucy Juhnke and Brad Collins on the wall of Four Espresso Cafe.

The footpath between Murray Street and the waterfront features a piece of 3D art by Jenny McCracken.

In May the Flynns Beach General Store saw a new-look front wall painted by Damon Moroney (iknograffix) and Tarran.

Last year Phillips Lane was remade as an outdoor music and event space with fairy lights.

Artists Pat Hunter (Ink Hunter), Pat Indo (Indo the Artist), Brad Collins and Damon Moroney (iknograffix) collaborated to create the space.

Katarina Mane and Erica Blanch mentorled the Phillips Lane mural design and

installation with children through Aboriginal Education Consultative Group in time for ArtWalk 2025.

Westport Park amenities block has a mural which was created through an artist collaboration with Brad Collins, Kat Feeley ‘Kitchi’ and Colleena Smith.

Port Macquarie library’s “Storytelling” mural was created in 2024 by Our Storyplace Aboriginal artist collective.

The Tacking Point lighthouse precinct has two artworks - “Boundless” by Rachel Cross (corten steel at the whale viewing platform) and “Nyaagilbaa” (looking place) by Tarran (concrete artwork).

Longer-term solutions in the works for coastal protection

acknowledged that erosion had occurred around the Town Beach, beach access and seawall areas, and that concerns were being addressed.

“The works focused on the most impacted section of the dune and beach access while we continue planning for longer-term coastal protection measures,” the representative said.

The stepped beachfront sand was smoothed out to create an easy gradient from which swimmers could enter the surf.

Council is also making the most of quieter winter days to undertake work at Town Beach Car Park.

“Work is underway at Town Beach car park to improve access for all visitors,” the representative said.

“This involves re-lining

existing parking spaces and creating two additional accessible parking spaces, which will help more people access Town Beach and nearby facilities.”

Council noted that line marking would take place this week, necessitating a partial closure of the carpark.

“A new compliant kerb ramp will also be constructed in July to further improve accessibility,” the representative said.

Grimm fairytales for adults

By Bill HARROW

THE renowned contemporary theatre company Shake & Stir brings its acclaimed production ‘GRIMM’ to the Glasshouse on Tuesday 30 June.

‘GRIMM’ is dramatic theatre infused with musical theatre, executed in true Shake & Stir style with outstanding production values.This means impressive sets, immersive lighting, amazing costumes, dynamic acting and singing - all working together to deliver an engaging and

visually impressive theatre experience.

Be warned, these bedtime stories may cause nightmares! Within darkened corridors and haunting landscapes, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and many other intriguing characters emerge from the shadows. The truth behind their stories, warts and all, boil and bubble to the surface.

‘GRIMM’ is a bold adaption of the tales from Brothers Grimm by Nelle Lee, directed by Daniel Evans, with costumes designed by Australian fashion icon Paul

McCann.

Brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German scholars who collected traditional folk stories to preserve their country’s culture and language. Their famous collection, Kinder und Hausmarchen (Children and Household Tales), was originally intended as a scholarly work, not for children.

Henry Rollo, who recently joined Shake & Stir, is very passionate about performing in ‘GRIMM’. He plays the role of The Big Bad Wolfe, Robber Bridegroom and many more.

“I come from a background of musical theatre, but this has reinvigorated me and allowed me to express myself as a creative artist,” Rollo told News Of The Area.

“GRIMM is a crazy mix of comedy, inappropriate in many ways.

“It will be outrageous - the audience will be surprised with the unexpected.”

Shake & Stir have previously performed Dracula, Animal Farm, Jane Eyre, The Twits, Wuthering Heights, Mousetrap and Fourteen at the Glasshouse.

Locals give lifeline to eight Myanmar villages

By Sis HIGGINS

Refugee Support Group (MNCRSG) and local supporters after fundraising efforts contributed to the purchase of a tractor for people forced from their homes following the military coup in Myanmar.

The tractor, which had to be imported through Thailand, cost approximately $20,000.

Tin Nu said the Mid North Coast Refugee Support Group contributed $2,200 towards the purchase.

Remaining funds were raised through donations from friends and relatives in Camden Haven and Sydney, proceeds from farm sales and support from the Kendall Community Op Shop.

“My great appreciation to MNCRSG for the support for purchasing a tractor desperately needed by the internally displaced people who were sheltering in the Burma-Thai border due to suppression of the military junta,” Tin Nu said.

According to Tin Nu, the tractor will play a vital role in supporting around 100,000 displaced people from eight villages.

“The tractor [will be used] for land clearing, road construction, extracting bamboo and wood from the forest to build dwellings and schools, and to cultivate land to grow food,” she said.

Tin Nu said access to the tractor would also help communities improve food production in difficult terrain.

“Now with the tractor the people's food consumption may have more variety as they … easily grow food in their rough terrain,” she said.

On behalf of the displaced families benefiting from the project, Tin Nu expressed her gratitude to everyone who contributed.

“On behalf of these refugees I would like to express a big thank you [and I appreciate] the generosity of the members,” she said.

Push Up Challenge raises funds for Lifeline

By Rachael THORPE

EACH year, 3307 lives are lost to suicide in Australia.

Now in its 10th year, The Push Up Challenge is on 3 June to 26 June.

Participants will do 3037 push ups in 24 days to honour the lives lost, raise funds for charities, and generate conversational change around the challenges faced by people experiencing mental health difficulties.

Many participants have opted to donate their funds raised to Lifeline Mid Coast.

“The challenge is a powerful way to encourage conversations that can save lives,” spokesperson Boni Lornie told News Of The Area.

“The Push Up Challenge is a great opportunity for people across the Mid Coast to talk about their mental health, learn how to support each other and recognise when they might need to reach out for help.”

“It’s a big goal, but our community is stepping up, getting involved and making a real difference for their own wellbeing and for others.”

Each day, participants complete push-ups while learning a mental health fact, with the number of pushups changing daily to reflect important statistics.

For those who prefer alternatives, options such as half the target or exercises like squats, sit-ups or tailored activities are available, all tracked through a dedicated app.

Member for Port Macquarie Robert Dwyer has been doing push ups in State Parliament as part of the challenge.

Many workplaces, schools and community groups have formed teams across the region.

Community members are encouraged to support the cause by donating to their favourite team and helping drive local impact.

Lifeline Mid Coast will also host a thank you and catch-up event before the Challenge wraps up, giving participants a chance to connect, celebrate their efforts, catch up on pushups, or simply have a conversation.

Starlight child lights the way for others

By Jacie WHITFIELD

AT just 10 years old, Port Macquarie's Cour'Tarlor

Kelly-Daley is proving that courage, resilience and kindness can make a remarkable difference to the lives of others.

Tarlor faced significant challenges from birth and underwent a leg amputation at 10 months of age.

She has spent much of her life travelling between Port Macquarie and Sydney for surgeries, treatment and ongoing care.

Despite the obstacles she has faced, Tarlor's grandmother, Helen Daley, says her granddaughter has never allowed her circumstances to define her.

"What amazes me most is her ability to turn adversity

into purpose," Ms Daley said.

"As she grew older, there were times when other children saw her as different because of her prosthetic leg, which could be difficult for a young child to navigate. Yet through it all, she has never lost her kind heart or determination."

The Starlight Room at Westmead Children's Hospital became a place of comfort and joy for Tarlor during many hospital visits, creating lasting memories during difficult times.

Now, she is determined to give back through her fundraising efforts for the Starlight Children's Foundation via Trek4Kidz.

Having only recently turned 10, Tarlor has already raised an impressive $4000 in 2024 and a further $3900 in

2025 on rides with Trek4Kidz.

This year, she is once again setting her sights on helping other children experiencing illness and hospital stays.

Trek4Kidz is a volunteerrun fundraising adventure that supports the Starlight Children's Foundation.

Since 1997, participants have travelled across Australia raising millions of dollars to help bring joy, laughter and hope to seriously ill children.

For Tarlor Kelly-Daley, the cause is deeply personal.

Having spent much of her childhood visiting Westmead Children's Hospital, she experienced first-hand the difference Starlight makes to young patients and is now determined to help other children facing similar challenges.

"When people hear

q Tarlor with her lifetime of prosthetics fitted at Westmead Children’s Hospital, where she said the Starlight Room became a place of laughter, fun, and an escape from the realities of treatment.

Tarlor's story, they often focus on what they call her disability," Ms Daley said.

"What they don't see is the funny, caring, cheeky and determined young girl behind it all. She never wants sympathy. She simply wants to be treated like every other child and given opportunities to shine."

Tarlor's next fundraising event will be held on Saturday, 11 July, at Settlers Inn, Port Macquarie, with proceeds supporting the Starlight Children's Foundation through Trek4Kidz.

Organisers are seeking support through raffle prizes, sponsorships, donations and attendance on the night.

Bringing new books to local schools

By Pauline CAIN

MORE than 3000 new books were provided to local schools during the past week through the Library Regeneration Program and Book Bank Program.

The program helps to revitalise school libraries and improve access to quality reading material for local students.

It is an initiative of Westport Club, in

partnership with Dymocks Children’s Charities.

Through the initiative, students at Comboyne, Long Flat, Herons Creek and Wauchope public schools were presented with books during school assemblies. The assemblies also included a story-time session with the students.

"We're incredibly proud to bring more books into the hands of local students,” said Anthony Westman, general

q Long Flat Primary School students after receiving their books.

manager of Westport Club.

"By investing in literacy, we're helping to open doors, spark imagination and create brighter futures for children across our community.

“Through our partnership with Dymocks Children's Charities, we're helping children develop a lifelong love of reading while making a meaningful contribution to the quality of life in our region."

“We are excited to work alongside educators and the community to support literacy outcomes for local children,’ said Angie Hazelton-Kelly, Westport Club community engagement co-ordinator.

“For many children, having access to engaging and age-appropriate books can make a lasting difference in both their learning journey and their future opportunities.”

Is Your Strata Scheme Meeting Your Needs? Why It Might Be Time for a Management Review

For many property owners, the strata scheme is the backbone of their investment and lifestyle. Whether you live in a residential apartment complex, operate out of a commercial suite, or manage a mixed-use development, the efficiency of your strata management can directly impact both your property value and your day-to-day quality of life.

However, not all management partnerships are a perfect fit. If you find yourself frustrated by slow response times, lack of transparency in financial reporting, or difficulty in communicating with your strata manager, you are not alone. Many committees and lot owners eventually reach a point where they realize their current management model is no longer meeting the evolving needs of their community.

When is it time for a change? For those in self-managed schemes, the transition to professional management is often driven by the increasing complexity of legislative compliance, maintenance coordination, and bookkeeping. The burden of managing a scheme can quickly become a full-time job, leading many volunteer committee members to experience burnout.

For those already under professional management, signs that it may be time to look elsewhere include:

Inconsistent communication: Difficulty reaching your manager or receiving delayed responses to urgent maintenance requests.

Lack of Proactive Maintenance: A reactive approach to building repairs that leads to higher long-term costs.

Financial Opacity: Difficulty understanding levies, budgets, or expenditure reports.

Taking the Next Step If your strata committee or owners’ corporation feels that the current management arrangement is stagnant, the process of exploring alternatives is simpler than many realize. Seeking a new management proposal is a standard procedure that allows committees to compare service levels, digital capabilities, and fee structures.

Coastal Realty, a local firm experienced in the management of residential, commercial, and mixed-use schemes, is currently inviting committees and lot owners to open a dialogue regarding their management concerns.

“Every strata scheme has a unique personality and set of requirements,” says a representative from the Castal Realty strata team. “We encourage committees to reach out to us for an open discussion about their current pain points. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive proposal that aligns with the specific needs of the residents and owners.”

Whether you are looking for advice on how to improve your current operations or are ready to request a formal proposal for a change in management, a consultation is a proactive step toward protecting your asset.

Interested in a consultation?

Local residents and committee members are invited to contact Coastal Realty today to speak with the strata team. Appointments can be made to discuss your concerns in detail and to request a professional strata proposal tailored to your scheme’s specific portfolio.

Turkey done, USA next

By Anna HARRINGTON, AAP

SOCCEROOS coach Tony Popovic

turned in a selection and tactical masterclass to deliver a 2-0 win over Turkey in Australia's World Cup opener.

Take a bow, Tony Popovic.

The Socceroos boss is the toast of Australian coaching after turning in a selection and tactical masterclass to deliver a 2-0 upset win over Turkey.

Popovic dropped skipper Maty Ryan for young goalkeeper Patrick Beach and midfielder Jackson Irvine for Paul Okon-Engstler, while backing dynamo Nestory Irankunda from the outset.

"They were maybe shocks for a lot of people, but not shocks within our playing group or staff," Popovic said.

"Because we're all working together every day, and we can see the quality of these young boys. We've got Mo Toure, Nestory, Junior Okon, Patrick Beach, and many more.

"It's a team selected to perform well. You never know the result, of course - we're at a World Cup.

"But for me, it's the performance.

The result is the satisfaction and the outcome. But, regardless of the result, it was the right decision."

All of Popovic's gambles repaid his faith.

Beach made eight saves, the most by a Socceroos goalkeeper at a World Cup, including some worldclass efforts.

Okon-Engstler delivered a sensational assist for matchwinner Irankunda and impressed with his forward drive, hard running and physicality.

Irankunda was man of the match with his explosive, daring performance, with he and Connor Metcalfe scoring terrific goals.

Popovic has backed Metcalfe to start despite minimal game time at his German club FC St Pauli.

"It means everything," Metcalfe said.

"I haven't played much, so I don't expect much.

"And for him to just go, 'No, I don't care, I'm gonna play you', it's a really, really nice feeling because, I mean, I don't have that feeling at my club.

"It's more of a feeling of I want to repay him with everything I've got every time I play, and I think tonight

shows the amount of effort not only me but the whole team put in."

While Turkey had more possession, Australia were organised, uncompromising and desperate in defence, then aggressive in springing attacks themselves.

Popovic showed in friendlies against Mexico and Switzerland and again on Saturday that he has adapted to the drinks/advertising breaks in each half as well as any coach.

The 52-year-old is animated and direct, using the pauses as an opportunity to address his players.

That included having a word to Irankunda on the 22-minute mark.

"He told me to keep my head," Irankunda said.

"He told me to stay calm and to keep pushing, and in the end that chat that we had helped, and then I ended up scoring. It's just great that he has that belief in us."

Australia had 10 World Cup debutants - with Harry Souttar the exception - in their youngest starting line-up at such a tournament, with an average age of 24.6.

"There was no doubts or anything that was in my head going

into it, thinking about the word 'inexperience' - because it showed the lads are brilliant.," Souttar said.

"They carried out the game plan. Tactically, they were brilliant."

It was impossible to pick a bad Socceroos performer, both from the starters and substitutes.

"The boss always says to us that he chose us 26 for a reason," defender Aziz Behich said.

"And he's always said he'll close his eyes and pick an 11 and he'll trust.

"And the beauty of his squad is, you see the players that even come on to make an impact - we're all in this together."

The Socceroos have returned to their Oakland base to step up preparations for Friday's game against the United States in Seattle.

appear to have sparked a strong increase in drummer activity, with anglers reporting excellent numbers from ledges between South West Rocks and Seal Rocks.

Popular local locations including South West Rocks Gaol, Queens Head and Tacking Point Lighthouse continued to fish well in both calm and rough conditions.

Anglers at Crowdy Head also enjoyed success, landing solid numbers of bream and luderick, while the occasional tuna provided an unexpected bonus.

Local rivers remain full of bream, which have been responding well to both bait and lures throughout the Camden Haven and Hastings River systems.

Flathead fishing continues to be outstanding, with anglers finding success using everything from live bait to a wide range of artificial lures.

During last week's new moon period, several mulloway measuring over a metre were landed in the Camden Haven, with some anglers celebrating personal-best captures.

Luderick fishing has also improved noticeably, with catches from local river breakwalls steadily increasing after a slow start to the season.

Beach anglers enjoyed consistent action this week, with

bream and tailor featuring prominently at Lighthouse Beach and North Shore Beach.

Reports also emerged of larger mulloway being caught from beaches around Lake Cathie and North Haven, along with the usual numbers of school-sized fish.

Offshore fishing is continuing to improve as calmer seas and more regular westerly winds create better conditions.

Snapper fishing has been particularly productive off Port Macquarie and Lake Cathie, with soft plastics currently producing the best results.

Anglers fishing the deeper reefs off Crescent Head and Point Plomer are also finding opportunities for pearl perch and kingfish as offshore activity continues to build.

ABC TV, 7.30pm

Monty Don (pictured) believes there is a lot to be learnt from Britain’s great outdoors. In his eyes, everything from the humble backyard to the grandest of grounds tells a story about the country’s culture, climate and history. Over five parts, the ardent horticulturalist travels from the north-west of Scotland to the southern tip of England to discover more than 60 different gardens and the custodians who keep them flourishing. Don begins his journey at Inverewe, a botanical wonderland in the Scottish Highlands that includes plants from all over the world.

TRAVEL GUIDES

NBN, 7.30pm

When Adelaide sisters Eliza and Liberty Paschke (pictured) arrived on the set of the inexperienced renovators brought so many suitcases with them that you’d think they were bound for Milan Fashion Week. Let’s hope the pair have learnt the art of packing light, as they’re joining the cast of for a Chilean adventure this week. Despite a shaky start on Santiago’s steep historical funicular, the siblings couldn’t ask for a better introduction to the show. Their itinerary also includes a hands-on pottery class and a street art tour through Valparaíso before concluding with a trail ride and cruise in the icy wilderness of Patagonia.

SMALL PROPHETS

creator Mackenzie

and realism to simultaneously enchant and bewilder viewers. It follows hardware store clerk Michael (regular Crook collaborator Pearce Quigley, pictured), whose life has been on hold since the unexplained disappearance of his partner Clea seven years earlier. Michael spends his days winding up gullible customers at work and visiting his eccentric dad (Michael Palin) in aged care. But when a surprising revelation disrupts his status quo and opens the door to a world of alchemy and magical spirits, he gets an unexpected opportunity to uncover the truth about his lost love.

Wauchope Monday Mixed Bowls

By Beth GABRIEL

THE sky was blue at one stage of last Monday morning then it showered and turned grey. Fifty shades of grey where I lived and much more sprinkled rain. So I

cancelled for the afternoon, but 21 players turned out to play. I missed a game of afternoon bowls, sadly.

Playing on the Eastern green the winning team was Peter Doherty, playing as a swinging lead, Sandra Hackney and Jenny Caller. Even though the rewards are by a roll of the dice, Jenny did the hard work in selecting

SPORTS RESULTS

the teams so deserved the reward. Runner Up on rink

10 was a pair of Ken Webb and Fay Paine – this was the closest match on the day. Lucky Losers were on rink 8 being Dave Woodlands, Pam Dures and Dave Dahler. Raffle winners were Dave D twice, Rose twice, Dave W and Gunnar. There

was no Jackpot winner. The AGM for Mixed Bowls will be Monday 13th July and the sheet for nominations for the Taree West visit is up. There are still copies of the current Behind the Jack with a calendar of events in the sign on room.

What is a swinger you may ask? It’s where there is an odd number of players and that swinger plays for both teams. How do you know which bowl is which? A dot sticker is placed on half of the bowls and the other half are clean. Everyone gets a game.

By Kate SHELTON

THE Mid North Coast enjoyed another excellent week of fishing, with a welcome run of settled weather finally giving anglers consistent opportunities to get out on the water.

There have been plenty of impressive catches reported across the region, with several spots producing fish well worth talking about.

Rock fishing was undoubtedly the standout this week, and the forecast suggests another favourable weekend ahead.
