History – WWII ship disguised as island

I thought you might like to know

An island is a land mass that protrudes above the water line and normally consists of sand, rock and soil with either some or most of it covered in a variety of vegetation and, unless there is some type of seismological event that results in it sinking under the water, it can always be found in the same geographical position.

Right? Well, whilst this is certainly true in almost all cases, the following article is about an island that never stayed in the one place for more than one day. While based at Surabaya in the Netherlands East Indies in 1942 during the Allied defeat in the Battle of the Java Sea, the Royal Netherlands Navy’s minesweeper HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen, was ordered to make her way, along with three other warships, to the safety of Australian waters but when the time came to commence the voyage, she found herself completely alone.

There were several factors which meant that during the trip to safety, the minesweeper would be a very easy target for any Japanese aircraft in the area and not the least of these was her rather slow top speed of only fifteen knots.

She was also very poorly armed, being fitted with only one three-inch gun and two Oerlikon twenty millimetre cannons. Aware of their vulnerability, the forty five members of the ship’s crew knew that they had to come up with a way to minimise their chances of being attacked and so, after much deliberation, the decision was made to utilise one of the crew member’s suggestion and disguise the ship to make it look like an island.

After all the crew working hard ashore to cut down tree branches and shrubs, they all but completely covered the 156-metre vessel in vegetation and the parts that hadn’t been covered were painted to resemble rocks and cliff faces… Fortunately, in that part of the ocean there are nearly 18,000 islands of various sizes so the chance was that one more island was not going to be noticed in amongst the many.

However, what definitely would be looked upon with suspicion by any sharp-eyed Japanese airman was an island that could be seen moving through the water. With this possibility in their minds, the crew of the HNLMS Abraham Crijnssen kept their ship in one location during the daylight hours and then sailed as far as possible under the cover of darkness.

The ship and her crew avoided detection by the enemy and after an eight-day voyage arrived at the port of Fremantle in Western Australia on March 20th in 1942. The MNLMS Abraham Crijnssen was built in Schiedam, South Holland, launched in March 1936 and commissioned in May the following year. She was the third of the eight Jan van Amstel-Class minesweepers constructed for the Royal Netherlands Navy and was named after a seventeenth-century Dutch naval commander.

After arriving in Australia in 1942, she was commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy and named the HMAS Abraham Crijnssen. The ship was operated as an antisubmarine escort until her return to RNN control in 1943 and the crew of Dutch sailors was supplemented with survivors from the British destroyer, HMS Jupiter as well as Australian personnel. Following the end of World War II, the minesweeper was used on anti-revolution patrols of the Netherlands East Indies until returning to the Netherlands in August 1951.

After being converted into a boom defence vessel in 1956, she was removed from the navy list in 1960 and was donated to the Sea Cadet Corps for training purposes and in 1995, at the end of a long and varied period of service, was marked for preservation by the Dutch Navy Museum at Den Helder.

Meet the Volunteers

MIKE DANIELL – Financial Counsellor

When I began this series about the many dedicated volunteers who ensure that the Bribie Island and District Neighbourhood Centre is able to continue operating the diverse range of services that are offered there, I featured qualified financial counsellor Peter Dallimore and told about how his advice has been responsible for improving the situation of those who seek his help.

Sadly, there are signs that there is an increasing number of people, not just locally, who are experiencing difficulties with their finances and, as part of the help with these problems that are available at the Neighbourhood Centre, Mike Daniell volunteers his services on Monday and Wednesday each week.

Mike came to our island sixteen years ago and from what he told me about his time here, I would have to describe him as a man who is passionate about being able to help others. He Has been a long time volunteer at the Wallum Action Group Community Nursery and was keen to offer his services when Peter Dallimore needed assistance with the Debt Relief Program.

Originally from England, Mike told me about when he left his home country. ‘I left England at Christmas time and it was snowing there,’ he said. ‘When the plane landed in Darwin, I walked onto the tarmac and it was almost like the plane had taken a detour straight to hell, it was just so hot,’ Mike said.

In his role at the centre, Mike dedicates his time to helping people resolve issues associated with overdue debt and budgeting. He explained that it is very often the case that by organising a payment plan with creditors, he is able to make a difference to people’s problems and therefore help them to feel just that much better about their situation.

‘We never turn anyone away and no matter what their problems are, we always try to be of assistance,’ said Mike. ‘When I am able to help make life easier for those who are experiencing problems with their finances, it is a very satisfying experience,’ he added. Because of the number of people who attend the Neighbourhood Centre for help, Mike stressed that it is essential to make a booking to receive assistance with debt relief and he told me that, as it is very often the case that those seeking help leave a visit to the centre to the last minute.

‘The earlier that we know about a problem, the easier it is to resolve the issue,’ he said. As well as the very important Debt Relief and Financial Counselling services available at the Bribie Island and District Neighbourhood Centre, there are many other services on offer.

Those in need have access to emergency relief, family counselling, the Neighbourhood Harvest program which makes food available each Tuesday morning and as well as a thrift shop which has a great range of bargains on offer, there are always courses being held that deal with a range of issues such as dealing with addiction.

The Bribie Island and District Neighbourhood Centre are open each weekday except Friday from 9 am until 3 pm and is situated at 9 Verdoni Street in Bellara.

Anyone who requires more information about the services that are available at the centre should call in for a chat or give them a call on 3408 8440.

Local man provides art classes for kids

WHO’S BEHIND THE WINDOW

Throughout the world, art can be observed to present itself in many guises across an incredible range of mediums and it seems that as artists become more experienced, the more adventurous they become with their art. Within the ever-increasing art community here on Bribie Island, there is one particular artist who uses his skills to create works that are certainly unique in their appearance.

Featured Image(above): Local artist and art teacher Greg Cannon with an example
of his skill with the brush

Having spent his childhood as part of a family in which his father was an accomplished artist and his brother a sketcher, Greg Cannon became interested in art at a very early age and from what he told me when I spoke to him recently, his love of working with the brush has never wavered. ‘When I was young, my grandmother used to make me sit down and draw things. I think that she did it to keep me quiet,’ Greg explained.

‘Art was my favourite subject at school and having realised this, my teacher suggested that I enter the Australia Day Art Award which was a statewide competition and my entry was declared the winner. This certainly gave me the confidence to keep going,’ he said. In a rather ironic twist of fate, when Greg began high school, the rather well regarded educational facility did not offer an art course so for two years, Greg had to attend art classes at an all girl’s school.

‘I was the only boy in the class, and there were some interesting moments,’ said Greg. ‘At the end of my schooling, I was rated as second in the Tasmanian education system for art,’ he added. In the years that followed school Greg found employment in the field of sports administration and when not at this job, continued with his art.

He told me that he did many sketches of old buildings in various areas and when a series of these sketches that had involved hundreds of hours dedicated work was lost, that signalled the end of his sketching. As what was I suppose a natural progression in his development, Greg moved toward abstract for a while before being commissioned to produce a number of works that depicted subjects such as animals, sailing boats, nudes and also faces and this continued for a number of years.

Women Behind Windows is the new series of works by Greg Cannon

A desire for a change of location resulted in a move to the Queensland city of Mackay where Greg met his wife Mary Anne. During his time there, as well as working as a volunteer for the Cancer Council, Greg began to teach the talents of the brush to small classes of children and, since making the move to Bribie Island, he continues to teach from his home.

As I touched on at the beginning of this article, Greg is at present creating a series of rather different forms of hanging art which he has named, “Women Behind Windows” and he told me that whilst nothing has been definitely decided, he will most likely be selling these from somewhere such as the Eumundi Markets.

I would suggest that anyone who would like to find out more about this very unique series that Greg is working or about “Art for Kids” which is Greg’s after school art classes, they should give him a call on 0458 339915

Local resident raises funds for cancer awareness

BRIBIE ISLAND LOCAL RUNNING TOWARDS A CANCER FREE FUTURE

No family should have to experience the devastation of cancer, which is why Kelly McKinlay is determined to change the lives of those affected by the disease. The Bribie Island local knows first-hand how trying a cancer diagnosis can be on a family – many of Ms McKinlay’s friends and family members have had cancer.

To ensure others don’t have to go through a similar experience, Ms McKinlay will run a 42km full marathon at the 2018 Gold Coast Marathon on July 1 to raise funds and awareness for Cancer Council Queensland. “I was 21 when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer – thankfully, she’s been cancer free for 15 years now,” she said. “I think last year was the most trying year for me.

A close friend of mine, the same age as me, passed away from cancer at just 37 and we know of someone currently undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. “I also lost my uncle to pancreatic cancer on Father’s Day – that’s when I just thought ‘enough.’ “I have two little girls, and I never want them to have to go through something like this, so I decided to run the Gold Coast Marathon.

“I love running, so joining Team CCQ was a great opportunity to raise awareness and funds for Cancer Council Queensland, and help find a cure for this horrible disease.” Donations can be made to Ms McKinlay’s cause at gcam2018. everydayhero.com/au/kellyaka- party-rocker. Team CCQ is a fitness team founded as part of Cancer Council’s Get Moving campaign – an initiative encouraging runners, gymgoers, and fitness enthusiasts across Queensland to lace up their joggers for the cause. Cancer Council Queensland CEO Chris McMillan said those who take part in the 40th annual Gold Coast Marathon with Team CCQ give hope to Queenslanders touched by cancer.

“At least one-third of all cancer cases are preventable through healthy lifestyle choices including being active and maintaining a healthy weight,” Ms McMillan said. “By joining the Team CCQ community at the 2018 Gold Coast Marathon, you can be confident you’re making a difference to Queenslanders affected by cancer and improving your personal health at the same time. “All funds raised by Team CCQ participants are invested in vital cancer research, patient support services and prevention programs statewide.”

Becoming a member of Team CCQ gives Queenslanders access to free nutritional information, recipes and active advice, discounted entry to selected events, prizes, and access to a personal fundraising advisor.

Participants can take part in either the Gold Coast Marathon, Wheelchair Marathon, ASICS Half Marathon, Wheelchair 15km, Southern Cross University 10km run, Gold Coast Airport 5.7km Fun Run or the Garmin 4km and 2km Junior Dash.

When The Golden Entertainers Association was founded in 1991, I am sure that pianist Eileen Corbett and her husband (the first president) never imagined that in the following twenty-seven years, the group would present well in excess of six hundred performances to nursing homes, senior citizen’s centres and the general public, however, after having the pleasure of attending one of their practice sessions, I found it very easy to understand why this delightful combination of more than fifteen voices is sought after throughout the region.

Featured image(above): The sound of their golden voices is popular throughout the region

Consisting of both women and men, The Golden Entertainers Association is based at the Bribie Island Respite Centre and has their practice sessions there each Wednesday. Publicity Officer Betty McEwan told me that the association was formed after a previous group of singers was disbanded.

‘A group by the name of Zany Harmonies was formed in the 80’s and I was a member,’ said Betty. ‘It wound up in 1991 and The Golden Entertainers started from then. We have a wonderful band of singers and we are lucky that some of the members are men.

There are a lot of men who would rather be playing golf,’ she added. Betty explained that the group likes to sing songs that are popular with their specific audience and she said that the Musical Director Jenda Jacobs does such a wonderful job for the association as does Music Editor Lyn Murray.

As well as regular performances at venues such as the various nursing homes in the area, the group also holds an annual concert for the public and this year that will be held at the Respite Centre (formerly The Golden Age Centre) in Woorim on October 17th.

Betty pointed out that new members are always welcome, both women and men and anyone who would like to find out more about The Golden Entertainers Association should call Cora Box on 0447 144 725, Jean Binnie on 0435 619 448 or herself on 0408 924 816 for all the information about becoming a member or about the association’s performances.

For the Fallen – Anzac Poem

Anzac Day is a public holiday in Australia and New Zealand. It is a chance for all of us to remember what price we had to pay for our freedom. These men and women gave the ultimate sacrifice for the life we live today.

They live on in the hearts and memories of relatives, friends, war buddies and you and me as a reminder of the sadness of war, but it also gives us a cause for celebration to live on knowing that we live our lives as free men and women and are free from oppression and madness caused by insane men.

I personally respect all soldiers in past and present wars. I admire their bravery and courage. To me, they are heroes, real-life heroes. They drew on that inner belief and passion that what they were fighting for was right and justified and wanted to rid the world of evil and tyranny. They are the ultimate role models to the young and old and as long as we humans are on this planet, will be remembered.

Don’t ever forget.

For the fallen

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables at home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England’s foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.

Laurence Binyon (1869–1943)

Dear Editor,

Hi. My name is Desiree and I am a local resident at Ningi Qld. On Saturday morning 6th of April my husband and I went out on the boat near Bongaree about 500 metres from the jetty is and sadly saw a dead turtle, this is not the first! Sadly watercraft have been impacting and destroying wildlife, injuring the animals, sometimes left for dead which I’ve attached picture. I’ve reported to RSPCA and sadly this is not the first report this week! Another local resident reported a dead turtle on Wednesday 4th of April.

I’m contacting you to please help create social action by raising awareness that this needs to stop!

Regards , Desiree , Bribie Island.

Dear Editor,

Hospital suggestion for Bribie Island Sir sometime ago I suggested the possibility of a Medical Centre/Hospital for Bribie Island, and recently I read a suggestion regarding the same. I am not sure if it would be feasible for a Hospital, however I believe that what we could have built at the rear of the Main Shopping Centre on the island is a Medical Complex where most if not all new Doctors could have rooms and a small medical theatre for simple non life threating surgical treatments, rather than spread as is all around the island.

Plus an area to stabilise patients before transporting them off the island to various Hospitals. It is certainly worth discussing to see if it is viable.

Regards Farley, Banksia Beach

Dear Editor,

Another great issue with enlightening local news and articles of interest bringing our community to the forefront of living. Neil your skills are sensational and your role as a wordsmith carries us into your stories with interest and we leave with knowledge. Thank you for the Story of Anne Matthews, a very amazing lady giving so much of her life to the community through Rotary and so many dedicated works.

Along with her husband Michael we are fortunate to have them in our community.

Kind regards, Bill Bill Peacock OAM

Dear Editor,

Koala Safe Haven Bribie Island I have seen a couple of Koala signs on the island and after enquiring cannot find out if, in fact, we have any Koalas? I have suggested in the past that we get the gums that are sort after by Koalas planted in areas available, and begin a safe haven/refuge for Koalas, creating a habitat and possible tourist attraction.

It would be good to hear from others their thoughts on this suggestion, and why the Wildlife service are not more proactive in regards to this and other native animals.

Regards, Farley, Bribie Island

Dear Editor,

Bribie Islanders, especially the business people, frequently complain about the cost of power. However, when I suggested a while back installing a community power system, I only met with one response and that was negative.

There are tens of thousands of community power systems worldwide, and seventy within Australia. In Dalesford, Victoria two wind turbines supply enough power for 2,000 households. In Yackandandah (also in Victoria) shareholders contributed between $7 and $15 thousand each to join a system which their community owns. We live in the Sunshine State, in the sunniest country on Earth, so what is wrong with having a community power system on Bribie? Most systems are connected to the national grid, and with rooftop solar feeding into their mini-grid, contributors survive with battery backup, allowing others to use their excess, such as their local council.

It only requires one of the business people to get off their backside, and ask for contributions from the wealthy people who live here (the houses and boats betray their presence). A system which can pay dividends to its shareholders, and make contributions to the community, is something we should do before so many others take up the challenge that the result will be higher prices for those who don’t. If you go to www.cpagency. org.au you will find good information to get started.

H.Beneke, Banksia Beach

Dear Editor,

When I moved to Bribie Island many years ago, I quickly noticed that some individuals complain about anything and everything. Last Sunday morning I noticed that the two Jehovah’s Witness who stands next to the pathway in Pumicestone Lions Park were not there. I proceeded to the Sunday markets and after a look around I made inquiries at the JW’s marquee. I was told that one person lodged a complaint with council about the billboard they have on the parkland.

This billboard measures approx 600mm by 800mm and has free literature on it. When I was told this I looked towards the Library and within 50 meters I could see five advertising billboards on the footpath. Every weekend and school holidays from the Marine Rescue to the jetty there are multiple billboards advertising boat hire, paddle boards, electric scooters, segway, and kayak hire. All of these businesses are conducting a Commercial Enterprise in a public park, and many drive trucks onto the parkland as well as lining the side of the pathway with kayaks etc. Why would someone complain about the JW’s who are only there until 9 am when the others are there all day?

Regards, Eric Adams Bongaree
