The Bribie Island Tennis Club has just completed their Saturday morning junior tennis competition. Fixtures have been played every Saturday morning during the school term with players competing in 2 Divisions. Last Saturday saw the finals been played with some very close games.
Coach Ryan Dryden commented that the standard this term was very high. The trophies were presented at the club’s junior Christmas party by club president Greg Beh and junior development committee member Naomi Jones.
Junior fixtures and coaching will commence again next year with coach Ryan. Photo Left to Right Jordan Henwood, Toby Dutschke, Harry Smith, Dominic Fern, Kaitlyn Apps, Matthew Pendal, Kodi Apps, Brendan Turnbull.
A water spout was spotted off the Deception Bay coastline yesterday morning (Thursday – 10/01/2019). It only lasted a short time and didn’t come ashore. The video was taken by a local resident.
Check out this footage of a waterspout over Deception Bay, QLD this morning just after 10am AEST. The waterspout only lasted a short period of time and didnt come ashore.

Waterspouts are caused by different weather and atmospheric dynamics. They are generally mild in wind speed with wind speeds of around 60km – 120km per hour. They can cause damage to structures and property if they cross over land. Generally, they are not classed as tornadoes. Tornadoes are land-based and are more severe than waterspouts.
Waterspouts can occur anywhere in the world in the right conditions. They are common along the eastern seaboard of Australia in turbulent weather conditions. They are generally shortlived and cause minimal damage.
Tornadic Waterspouts are land-based tornadoes that cross over onto water and can be stronger than a regular waterspout. many waterspouts are not restricted to salt water and are commonly seen throughout the world on large bodies of water, such as lakes and seas.
It is recommended to stay a safe distance from these phenomena, as they can cause considerable damage to aircraft, watercraft and marine life. Incidences of severe damage are rare but on occasion have caused deaths and considerable damage to property such as the historic tornado Grand Harbour of Malta Tornado.
White Light Expos Psychic Expo which is happening this Saturday at the Bribie Island Sports Club 54 Toorbul Street, Bongaree will now be opening at 9:00am and running until 4:00pm instead of the previously advertised times.
“As well as our 7 knowledgeable psychics (some not seen on Bribie before) there will be one of the best crystal displays, a large book/oracle/tarot card stand, exquisite essential oils, intuitive art, wands, Himalayan salt/herb grinders, magnesium products, pendulums, earth rendered Ritual Tools, Divination (runes) & much much more,” said organiser Adrian Moore.
Don’t forget to tell all your friends about this great event, better still bring them with you. It’s still only a Gold Coin Entry and is on from 9.00am to 4.00pm.
According to Stephen Khu The Bribie Island Baptist Church is running a free program of fun activities for children and youth at Brennan Park. “In 2019, our program will run from Monday, 7th January until Friday, 11th January, and we’ll be doing something a little different.
Rather than just running a program for primary-aged children in the morning and afternoon, we have condensed that program to fit into the morning session, and then we will be adding a high-school/ youth program in the afternoon/ evening,” Stephen said.
“There will be free dinner on offer to the youth Monday through to Thursday. Both programs will then come to a grand conclusion on the Friday evening with the band, the Smashing Bumpkins, joining us for a bush dance, and there’ll be food for sale, a jumping castle, and other fun to be had. The whole community is invited to come and join us,” he said.
Wouldn’t mind going back to the good old days when you could drive through most forestry, beaches or national parks around southeast Queensland without having to pay for permits or fees. Most camping or fishing spots were relatively quiet, and usually, you would be by yourself or have little to no traffic or people around. Camping at Fraser Island, Moreton Island, Double Island point or Bribie Island on the holidays was never that busy. Camping was a great way to escape for a week or two and enjoy the peace and quiet of the great outdoors.
Unfortunately, nowadays with the number of people camping and fishing, the costs of permits and fees, the number of restrictions being introduced and numerous other factors it’s no wonder why the good old days were so bloody good. Finding those beautiful quiet camping and fishing spots nowadays are getting harder and harder to find. Usually, nowadays we try and get away midweek, off-peak or find some of those quiet hidden spots that haven’t been discovered yet.
Mixed reefies from the Caloundra 12 Mile
Having a boat is great, as it gets you away from the crowds and usually, you can find somewhere nice and quiet to set up camp. So yet again another year has gone by and the holiday period is in full swing. The fishing in the passage at present has been great with a wide variety of species being taken. Over the Christmas break try to fish early afternoon through to early morning as the passage gets pretty hectic during the day with boats, jet skis, and traffic.
The duskys have been widespread throughout with some great size fish getting caught and also good numbers around. Plastics, hardbodys, and pillies the best bet. The summer whiting also has been around in good numbers and size. Live worms for the whiting. The jacks and cod also have really started to fire up with the warmer weather. Plastics, hardbodys and live baits the go.
Glassed out days and great fishing
Look for snaggy, rocky deep sections of the river with plenty of cover and shade. Some nice sweetlip, moses perch, parrot and squire coming from the coffee rock patches and ledges throughout the passage. It’s quite surprising how many patches of reefy rubbly patches are actually in the passage. There have been some great mixed reefies getting caught on the shallows around Cape Moreton and the Caloundra 2 to 12-mile areas. Sweetlip, cod, moses, perch, Maori cod, squire, parrot, nanagui and the odd legal red emperor or coral trout being caught.
Nice duskys and cod from the passage
We generally floatline the shallows with 20- 30lb braid and 40-50lb fluorocarbon leaders.6- 10kg spin sticks and 5000 size reels. On the pelagic scene, there has been some nice wahoo, Spanish mackerel, dolphin fish and marlin being caught off the cape. In the bay, there have been some nice spotty and school mackerel around. There’s also been some big longtail tuna and cobia working around the schools also. Cod, snapper, sweetlip, jacks and big parrot getting caught in the bay.
So hope you guys had a great Christmas and new years break. Tight lines and remember “don’t destroy what you came to enjoy “

Dinner was served a little late, which was great for bar takings, and “added to the ambiance” of the wonderful evening. There was plenty of dancing in the limited space available, and hence the inevitable conga line.

The staff and volunteers of Busy Fingers sincerely hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. As the New Year begins so does the shop, with us re-opening this Monday 7th January at 8.30, the staff have had a well earned two week break and hopefully are ready to start back at work.
Before we closed we had a raffle and as promised I have the numbers that won 1st Prize Lawn Mower and Shopping Gift Card Black B92, Matt 2nd Prize Gifts/Hamper and Shopping Gift Card Black F48, Vikki 3rd Prize Gifts/Hamper and Shopping Gift Card Orange E01, Colin 4th Prize Gifts/Hamper and Shopping Gift Card Black B80, Han We congratulate all the winners and thank all our supporters who participated.
The week before Christmas we had a few days of a shop wide sale of 50% off and we managed to please many shoppers who thought it was a great idea and found many bargains on the way. This will also allow us to fill the shelves with a lot of new stock that is currently sitting in the storeroom, making more room for any new donations. Our manager Sonia has reorganised the shop once again, I think she is beginning to like making changes, but all in a good cause, she is hoping to keep the shop looking open and fresh. She has also ordered a few more shelves to accommodate more stocks for display.
There will be bargain days again this year and once we know what donations are arriving we will put the bargain items on the noticeboard as you come into the front door. Sonia has also advised me that she will be having $5 baskets of clothes during the last week of the month.
DONATIONS GIVEN IN DECEMBER
During our final committee meeting of the year, we were asked for several items and they included air conditioning in the male and female bunkhouses of the Surf Lifesaving Club. Many use these bunkhouses including visiting nippers on camps as well as the lifeguards, the design of the rooms include small windows that give little airflow and ventilation so air-conditioning will improve the situation greatly.
We were also able to supply the Bribie Island primary school with volunteer T-shirts and also some new ipads to be used to help students with disabilities and learning difficulties to access the curriculum. The old ipads they are using cannot access the current learning apps the school uses. We continue to support the VMR with their monthly fuel needs and also the Bribie Hospice with the Palliative Care suite at the Bribie Island Retirement Village.
Busy Fingers would not be able to continue to support the island residents both young and mature without our customers continually coming to shop and also the wonderful residents who donate their pre-loved treasures. We thank you all.
REQUEST FOR DONATIONS
If you are a member of an island club or association and require assistance please let us know. We try to assist all not for profit associations and sporting clubs, we also assist the Police, SES, VMR and the BI Hospice. Our President Karen is quite happy to come along to your club and present our aims and goals and how your club can apply for assistance.
Please call 3410 1920 or email [email protected] if you wish to have a presentation or if you wish to apply for a grant of assistance. When applying for assistance please include a contact name and phone number and also a current equipment quote, tell us a bit about your association/ club and membership and why you need the equipment you are requesting.
Please be aware we only deal with island associations and groups, not individuals. In closing we would like to thank Mavis Howard for her hard work in supplying so many lucky dip bags for the children during the year, these sell quickly and give so much enjoyment to the kids. Also, we must thank Richard and the gang at The Bribie Islander for our advertising and also allowing us to put an article each month. Hope to see you in the shop soon. Sandra.
At this time, members of sporting clubs everywhere gather for end of year celebrations and to pay tribute to those in the organisation who have shown their skill throughout the year and, during a sumptuous lunch at the Bribie Island Hotel recently, Bribie Island Indoor Bowls Club members were recognised for their achievements.

After club president Margaret Dunn welcomed everyone to the event and thanked Division One Councillor Brooke Savige for attending, the award recipients were announced and I don’t think that too many people were surprised (except maybe Bruce himself) when Bruce Hennessy was named as Club Champion for the second year in a row. Along with the extensive number of bowlers who received trophies, Lara Patey was honoured with the “Rising Star” award.

Following the presentation of awards, the drawing of the raffle winners began and, thanks to the marvellous effort by Roy Bradford who spent many hours collecting donations from local business, there were many prizes to be won. It would be remiss of not to mention that both the food and friendly service at Charlie’s was worthy of praise and all who attended thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.
On a rather sad note, one club member who was missing from the occasion was treasurer Alan Landeman who suffered a severe stroke in the days prior to the event and was in hospital at the time. Regrettably, Alan passed away the following day and the thoughts of all are with Alan’s wife Jenny and the family in their time of grief.
At only 14 years of age Brodi Halliwell is no stranger to success in the boxing ring. This has many in his circle of peers wondering if he could be the next Jeff Horne who just happens to be the young man’s hero. At the recent ABL Australian Boxing Titles held in Hobart Brodi came away with the gold medal in the 48kg class. According to Brodi’s proud father, Ian Halliwell, it has been a bit of a rough journey this year for his son.
“Brodi had to compete in Rockhampton at the State Titles seven weeks after breaking his collarbone playing club footy for the Warrigals,” said Ian. His father says it is a testimony to his fitness level, ability and mental toughness that he was able to do so well at the Australian titles. Brodi’s boxing long-time coach Ty Gilchrest was equally impressed with his protege’s performance. “I have been training Brodi for around 6 years and have seen him do very well at state and national titles winning gold and silver for his weight category,” said Ty.
“There is an old saying ‘Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard’ and Brodi is the personification of that saying. He works extremely hard and is an absolute pleasure to train. He certainly has what it takes to go to the highest level in the sport.” And what does Brodi have to say for himself? Well like his hero Jeff Horne he is a quiet achiever who lets his result in the ring speak for itself.
For a number of years, many within the community have benefited from the outstanding generosity of a local organisation which is funded by money made by the sale of plants at its completely volunteer operated nursery. Not only has the Wallum Action Group supplied countless diabetes pumps and bought wheelchairs for use at the Caboolture Hospital, but they have also paid for the training of an assistance dog for a little girl and provided funding for many other worthy causes.
Featured Image(above): Representatives of Banksia Beach School, Bribie Community Kindy and Beachmere State School were presented with a defibrillator
Among their other donations has been their annual contribution to the Camp Quality project and this year at the Camp Quality picnic in Brennan Park, they once again handed over a cheque for $15,000 to this very worthwhile cause. Another ongoing project has been the donation of defibrillators to various groups and in the past, this has included the Bribie Island Community Arts Centre, the Sandstone Point Community Association, the Bribie Island and District Neighbourhood Centre and the Bribie Island Respite Service.
Earlier in December, the Wallum Action Group presented another three defibrillators to Narelle Dawson from the Bribie Community Kindy, Dianne Carpenter and Shellie Sorrell from the Beachmere State School and Melissa Robinson from Banksia Beach School. Action group President David Wearne has told me that there will be more defibrillators handed out in the near future.
The Wallum Action Group presented a $15,000 cheque to Camp Quality recently
The Wallum Action Group Community Nursery can be found in First Avenue at Bongaree next to the Orchid House. The nursery offers a great variety of plants for sale at very reasonable prices. Open from 8 am until 11 am each weekday, the nursery welcomes enquiries from anyone who would like to become a volunteer or wishes to dispose of unwanted plants. Further information about this wonderful organisation can be obtained by making a call to 0407 699 953.
After being stranded at the Bungle Bungles and time to do repairs at Kununurra, we were finally on our way to Darwin. However not without a stopover at Katherine, where we embarked on a fantastic canoe trip up and down the Katherine Gorge. Ginger, not being a sporty spice and rather uncoordinated with paddles, got a lift in Daddy’s canoe. And occasionally I hooked mine up as well, making sure hubby got a good work out, while I was blissfully contemplating those huge steep cliff walls majestically moving past us.
Sunset at Kakadu
This was topped off by an afternoon watching a horse and dog training show with the fit lads ending up standing on top of a horse and strumming a guitar at sunset. I was thrilled at the chance to dress up in our checked shirts with cowboy boots and hats, all to Ginger’s dismay who felt that we were like an overdressed act with nowhere to go… But on the go we were, and all of a sudden the dust and outback gave way to tropical greenery when we finally arrived in Darwin.
Berry Springs
We were surprised at all the lush colour and humid weather making us reminisce about Bribie! And like Bribie, Darwin is very clean and neat and has lots of wonderful free activities like water parks for kids, manmade lakes to swim without crocs, walks, lookouts and museums just to mention a few. Alternatively, if you want to part with some cash you can go on a harbour, river or crocodile cruise, helicopter flights or muster a handsome cowboy at a rodeo.
Canoeing at Katherine Gorge
However, the one thing that is burned in my mind is the love, hate relationship between Darwin and the ‘Crocodile’. As soon as you arrive you become part of the wave, with one side of you going through all sort of lengths to see a big scary crocodile close up, and the other side constantly observing signs like ‘Don’t go in there!’, ‘Don’t swim here!’, ‘Don’t stick your finger into that…. or the croc will get you!’ Signs like that can be found at the amazing Berry Springs, offering three huge pools filled with warm turquoise water along a river, heaps of room to float your noodle even at the busiest of times except… if a croc decided to have a float as well!
Outback show
As luck had it, the Springs just re-opened after a crocodile was found lounging about, eyeing off the juicy locals and tourists, until it finally was caught a week later. We spent six weeks in Darwin and surrounds, and our favourite caravan park was close to the city centre at Howard Springs with amazing pools, grassed sites and tall shady trees. Ginger made friends the minute we arrived, while I and the girl’s mother Jennifer formed the ‘Bar’ as we called it – sitting around in a circle at sunset with a handful of neighbour caravaners, exchanging experiences and laughs over a wine or two.
Table on Waters Edge
Nevertheless, the possibility of kissing the lawn, once legless, made me keep a lid on my usage of the grape. Nevertheless, fluid was in hot demand as it was the hottest winter on record with daily temperatures reaching 35 degrees, which gave the aircon in the van a rather good workout. One morning I even got woken up with a nice cold dripping rain installation from the ceiling. As usual, when disaster strikes, Richard would be back in Brisbane leaving it up to me to dig out a handyman. Handy he was, telling me its just condensation and not worthwhile him coming around!!! Never mind… I struck luck second time around and the rather sleek aircon specialist fixed the blocked ducts just in time before we ran out of towels and buckets.
The Bar
Just as well, as we had to be ready for Grandma and Grandad’s arrival, who Ginger persuaded at their sturdy age of 89 to jump on a plane in Melbourne and visit us for a couple of weeks in Darwin. Carol and Harry arrived in good shape and in the next few days we covered Litchfield park, swam in some amazing waterholes and even drove through a roadside fire. Then it was time for some city legwork and Ginger as usual forgot her shoes for the all-important museum visit. Richard told her that it was her problem and that she had to talk to the lady at the desk, who looked at Ginger with raised eyebrows and said….’Well its Darwin after all’ and so she got away with it… But one of our favourite activities was the virtual reality show of the ‘Flying Doctors visitors centre’ at the wharf. It was riveting and very scary, as one was viewing the Darwin bombing with special virtual reality goggles.
Holding on to your seat, while you moved through flying parts and bombed out ships, going up in the air with a fighter pilot, just to get bombed out of his plane, tumbling and plunging back down to the oil inflamed sea and slowly sinking to your death… I still felt motion sick for most of the dinner on the wharf and gave the wine a miss. However, this was not our first time on the wharf, where you can sit at your table suspended a few meters above the water level without railing, and watch the huge fish swimming and feeding below, all in the shade and balminess of Darwin city.
Another good place to get some multicultural cuisine is, of course, the most famous Mindil market, offering endless varieties of takeaway meals, while you are entertained by fireeaters! Although this is the end of this episode, I hope you can join me for the next one, when we get back to the dusty outback on ‘The Long Way Round To Bribie’!
Dear Editor, I’ve always preferred your paper over that “Other” Bribie giveaway – yours has usually been free of political input, whereas the other one is a shill for the Liberal Party conservatives and reptilian social conservatives. So I was disappointed to see your “Laugh Riot” section take a spiteful whack at Greens voters (“no job, no plans…”). This is just another inaccurate caricature with no basis in actual fact. Still, I’m sure it raised a few guffaws in your readership, so in the interests of balance, I thought I’d submit a few more jokes for you. I haven’t got them all written yet, just the endings, but I can work on them further if you’d like. In the meantime here are the punchlines: “A typical Liberal voter,” he said, “smug, selfish, uncaring and in the pockets of Big Business!” “Oh no! He’s a Labor voter!” she exclaimed “A hypocritical yobbo… in the pocket of Big Business!” “Just like a One Nation voter,” he groaned “An ignorant bigot… in the pockets of Big Business!” Let me know if you’d like more zingers like these – I got a million of ‘em.
Regards, Tony Longland, Bellara.
Dear Editor, Weather as given on the TV Channels Given that we are advised of forthcoming weather wouldn’t it be nice to have weather presenters do it properly? I cannot accept the need to send a weather presenter on a jolly to the Ski Fields in Canada when presenting Australian weather. It seems to me that it is a total addon cost and unnecessary? So where are these places that are given as – “The Goldie, Tassie, the Alice, etc.”. With possible showers, sunny with occasional rain, windy at times and hot. I ask with the millions spent on weather that more accuracy is given than possible weather, and keep our presenters in Australia rather than junket’s overseas. Come Home Stevie! A Happy 2019 to all.

Vivienne and Terry Bissell of Sandstone Lakes were both successful in making the Australian Seniors Tenpin Bowling Team represent Australia at the 15th Asian Senior Bowling Championships, Japan that was held recently from 9th to 18th December 2018. Countries competing for medals came from Australia, China, Guam, Korea, Macau, New Zealand, Singapore and Japan. Upwards of 300 bowlers were competing in the Championships. Australia was successful in 3 bronze medals. Of which we are all very proud. As a first international tournament for both Terry and Vivienne it was a very amazing experience.
Nothing made me prouder than to be selected to carry the Australian Flag during the opening ceremony. One I will never forget. We would both like to personally thank Bribie RSL, Caboolture Sports Club and Simone Wilson for their sponsorship towards our competition.
Rather than just running a program for primary-aged children in the morning and afternoon, we have condensed that program to fit into the morning session, and then we will be adding a high-school/ youth program in the afternoon/ evening,” Stephen said.
