Kerryn & Robert's Outback Adventure shortOur Outback Adventure by Kerryn Dunlop Last month my husband Robert and I went on an outback adventure with my mother Corinne who is the Co-Ordinator of the Merimbula Uniting Church Op Shop at Tura Beach. Our mission was to get much needed supplies to our poorest Aboriginal communities. Brian and Ann Lamont who live just out of Bungendore make four trips a year to the outback. We decided to take a load out to Alice Springs with my 80 year old mother so she can see where her op-shop donations go and more importantly get an idea of how we can better help the cause and what items may be needed. Lamont’s packed our trailer for us. A little over 650 kilos. We went to Alice Springs, but instead of coming back the same way, we did a loop up through Mount Isa and down through Cobar to home. 6,500 klm over our 16.5 days. Mums’ job on our travels was to keep a running journal for our own records but also for future travellers who might like to take a load to the outback. We stayed in Alice 3 nights. Our first night we went to the house of Bryan McKain, Adviser in the Central Australian Region for the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. One third of the trailer was left for him to get to parts of the Fink River Mission, a section run by a new couple down south of town. One 25kg box was going to a Gym Trainer – exercise clothing for women. Next morning, we went to the Yipirinya High School and met with Principal Chris Harvey and Sue the Liaison Officer. They got one third of the trailer which was children’s clothing plus 200 tennis balls. From there we headed out to Ntaria and the Fink River Mission of Hermannsburg and one third of the trailer went to the Ntaria Op-shop run by Marion Swift. They’ve been light on staff due to the Hermannsburg Choir travelling overseas.

Jerra Primary School Monster FeteIt was all happening yesterday at the Jerra Primary School Monster Fete! Jerra Rotary didn’t so much as have our ducks all in a row, but all over the pond……... (Slight exaggeration, more like kids wading pool) refer the photos of the day P1 to P5. It all started on the 17th Oct at the Monthly Board meeting. We had been displaced from the common room to a smaller meeting room, due to the school fete committee. Mr Pemmer had one of his brain fart ideas (that he is known for 😊), WE SHOULD take 50 of our 1000 little ducks out for their first outing, being the Jerra Fete! Chris went straight around and asked the committee to find us a spot. I volunteered to help him, and all was set for us to create Jerra Rotaries First Pluck a Duck Raffle. It was a sensational day for the fete, and we were placed in a great spot that gave us excellent walk past traffic. For those of you that love stats, beside the fact after costs we made $489, ref below:
I think it wasn’t a bad effort at $2 a ticket or 3 for $5. Thank you Anton for pulling this together so quickly, and I apologies that we didn’t have time to get others involved, it just happened. That said, it’s a fun way to raise funds and interact with the crowd, especially when you’re accompanied by reclusive & shy Mr Pemmer, it can only be but an enjoyable day (the little kids loved playing with the ducks, which brought the parents over). had one of his brain fart ideas (that he is known for 😊), WE SHOULD take 50 of our 1000 little ducks out for their first outing, being the Jerra Fete! |

MovemberHow can you say no to this face?
Chilly is an active member of Jerra Rotary who is passionate about International and Men's health issues. Chilly is looking good with his Movember facial hair. |
NoaIn September of 2015 the International Director for Jerra Rotary, Robert Chilman (aka Chilly), was advised of Noa and his condition. From that day Chilly promised to do all he could to get Noa approved by ROMAC for surgery. Upon his return from Tonga after the successful completion of Lapaha Primary School Refurbishment Chilly then set off to Fiji to begin the application process. In February of 2016 Noa’s surgery was approved and scheduled to take place in Canberra.
Believe it or not, that was the easy part. Noa and family live in a small village on the island of Levuka off the eastern coast of Fiji and approximately 80 km from Suva, Fiji’s capital. Needless to say, it was a major task getting all the necessary paperwork done for Noa and his mother Emeli, to travel to Australia. After many months of being persistent on everyone’s part, all the paperwork was ready. Happy days ROMAC can now kick into high gear, and wow are these guys & gals good. But wait, we still have to deal with Fiji airline, one minute they are flying out of Nadi, no Suva, no Nadi, no Suva. And there’s more, on the morning they are due to fly to Australia some low ranking official at Fiji Air told them they could not board the plane without a return ticket. Chilly sprung into action and called the right people at ROMAC, and they sorted things out, thanks, Kelsey and Barry. Noa and family are now Australia-bound. The trip began at 1:30 am when they flew from Levuka to Nadi to Sydney. That is where Chilly picked them up from the airport then they had a three-hour drive back to Canberra. Everyone is now safely back at Chilly’s place where they will live for the next couple of months while Noa has his operation and recovery time. Special thanks to Chilly, Jerra Rotary, and all the beautiful people at ROMAC.

Clean Up Australia DayClean up Australia Day
On the morning of March 6 members of the community met on the shores of beautiful Lake Jerrabomberra. The goal was to collect as much trash from in and around the lake. During our clean up Australia day campaign we removed enough trash to fill 7 large trash bags. What a great way to spend a Sunday morning. Hanging out with friends, enjoying the nice weather and making our community beautiful for the enjoyment of all.

Keeping in TouchKeeping in touch Elizabeth Perez graduation from Uni Elizabeth Perez was our clubs second international exchange student arriving in January 2007. She came from Mazatlan, Mexico. Elly attended Karabar High during her time with us and made many friends at school as well as other exchange students in district 9710. We have kept in touch with Elly via Facebook and it was was with great pleasure to see her graduate from University. Elly moved from her home town to Playa del Carmen in 2013, which is located along the Caribbean Sea in the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico, to complete her degree. This is a popular tourist area in eastern Mexico and very appropriate as her degree is in Administration and Tourism so she is living in the best city in Mexico to use her qualifications. Hosting exchange students is one of the most rewarding experiences Rotary has to offer. The exchange student becomes part of the family and when they succeed in life the host parents are proud. |

Haunted PententiaryA Night @ the Haunted Penitentiary
A fund raising event for the
Treehouse - Queanbeyan Special Needs Group Inc
30 December 2015
Sponsored by Mysterious Queanbeyan by Moonlight Tours,
the Rotary Club of Jerrabomberra
and
1st Record, Stage & Lighting Specialist
![]() Over the course of its long and colourful past, Queanbeyan's had it's share of convicts, bushrangers, prison escapees – and many a reputedly haunted location linked to crime and mayhem.
In a unique regional event, the public will have the chance to explore this mysterious and darker side when they enter the 'Twilight Zone' to spend a Night @ the Haunted Penitentiary.
The evening will be hosted by Queanbeyan's Mistress of Mystery, Nichole Overall, creator of the popular Mysterious Queanbeyan by Moonlight Tours and the successful Ghost Train of the Limestone Plains, who says the night will be the creepiest of experiences.
'Participants will be able to walk through 330m2 of deserted corridors, silent rooms, restricted areas and empty cells – although, perhaps not so empty. It's a place where your worst nightmares come together behind the barred windows.'
The historic record also notes that many a factual misfortune has occurred in the area.
'The now abandoned building at the heart of this stands on ground which has witnessed much. If a pre-requisite of a haunting is a particularly intense tragedy or emotion, there's been no shortage of them here,' comments Nichole, who's spent almost a decade unearthing Queanbeyan's secrets.
So, does Judge Callan, killed when a horse he'd just purchased pinned him against a fence, continue to hold court over the area? Is there a Sister from the nearby Convent still keeping watch on her charges? And what of all those who tragically met their end in the watery depths of the nearby Queanbeyan River – do any remain behind?'
Nichole says that people will need to come along and decide for themselves during this one-night only event where the darkest and most terrifying elements of the city's history and mystery intertwine.
'This will be the only chance to explore what lies within as we also raise much-needed funds for another local entity, the Queanbeyan Children's Special Needs Group.'
'To paraphrase the most famous of those to walk amongst the shadows, Dracula, we welcome you to our dominion, but we make no promises - you can go in, but will you come out?'
This is a one-night only event not to be missed! The evening includes a terrifying journey inside an abandoned building transformed for the occasion, music and a BBQ when all the screaming is done.

FitzHappy and healthy at home. Baby Fitz and Mother Freda returned home on 16 September 2015 and are doing well. Earlier this year Fitz came to Australia for life-saving surgery to remove a large tumor. Fitz was able to receive his operation thanks to the ROMAC program. ROMAC stands for Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children. |

MRS MARGIE ABBOTT ACCEPTS ROLE AS PATRON OF ROMAC![]() Margie Abbott, wife of Australian Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, is well known for her caring approach to children. As a former trained teacher and directly involved with childcare centres in Sydney, Mrs Margie Abbott is well qualified to understand the challenges that babies and children face who require life saving and/or dignity restoring surgery. ROMAC provides "life-giving" surgery for children from our nearest neighbouring countries including Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Island, PNG, Timor Leste an more.
Mrs Margie Abbott made it very clear that her role as Patron was on condition she made a positive difference and that her involvement would ensure even more children would benefit. She is planning a function for ROMAC at Kirribilli House to raise the awareness and support for the "life-giving"work provided by ROMAC. Seen in the picture visiting baby Fitzpatrick Unga and mum Freda at Canberra Hospital.

Jerra' Rotary Sponsors life-saving operation for Solomon Islands BabyAs part of Rotary Oceania Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC) program, Jerra' Rotary Club is sponsoring baby Fitz and Mum Freda from the Solomon Islands. Baby Fitz is in Canberra for a life-changing, indeed a life-saving operation to remove a tumor that is attached to his vertebrae. Mum and Bub arrived on 8th June and have settled into one of our member's homes, where they will be supported by the Club over the next 6-8 weeks. All is progressing well, albeit slowly, and Mum & Bub are just starting to adjust to the Canberra winter.
There has been good coverage of the story by WIN TV, who hope to produce a documentary story, and Margie Abbott, Patron of ROMAC and wife of our Prime Minister, recently visited Freda and Fitz at the Canberra hospital.
All part of the good work Rotary, and the Jerra' Rotary Club, does both locally and internationally.

Jerra' Rotary in Tonga to Rebuild local School![]() Our Jolly Band of Volunteers
The Rotary Club of Jerrabomberra, and friends, recently traveled to Nuku'alofa, Tonga, to refurbish the Lapaha General Public School. Situated about 25 km from the capital of Tonga, the school has about 280 students and eight teachers and serves the surrounding rural area. The school's, facilities were extremely run down and in drastic need of refurbishment. As part of a matching grant between Rotary International and our club, fifteen volunteers from the Rotary Cub of Jerra', along with other Rotarians and friends from southern NSW and the ACT, carried out a program of refurbishment works that enhanced the teaching facilities, upgraded classrooms and toilet facilities, removed pigeon access points to classroom and storage areas, mended broken drainage and sanitary fittings, and provided the school with reliable potable water.
To assist the local community even further, additional works were conducted by local contractors in 2012.
Further works are now being planned for another visit in 2016. Just another example of Rotary in action.

Hanna's Here!Jerra Rotary’s sixth exchange student, Hanna, arrived recently at Canberra airport and was met by an assorted bunch of Rotarians. Hanah, a 15 year old girl from Kaisersesch in the Rhineland Palatinate of Western Germany, will be staying with Jerra' Rotary host families until mid 2015. Hannah is understandably very excited about her exchange and has dreamed of coming to Australia since she was quite young. She will be leaving behind her parents and younger brother to come and live with and, of course, we will 'adopt' her as our own and soon have her speaking like an Aussie. We welcome Hanna and looking forward to having her as part of our Rotary family in Jerra for the next year.

Rotary Backyard Blitz at Queanbeyan Hospital In our latest project the Rotary Clubs of Jerrabomberra, Queanbeyan and Queanbeyan West joined forces to undertake a ‘backyard blitz’ type project at the Queanbeyan Hospital's Renal Unit.
Since its opening the hospital's Renal Unit has had a fairly large backyard garden area which was unable to be used by either patents or staff due to its slope and lack of landscaping. As a result the area had become neglected and a source of mud and water pooling in heavy rain. The area bordered by large trees had the potential to become a nice shaded rest and the management of the Renal Unit welcomed an approach to help from the three Rotary Clubs. A plan was hatched to excavate and level a 50 Square metre area which would be edged by a retaining wall to provide a large retained garden bed and a good sized and well drained courtyard area for use and enjoyment by the Renal Unit staff, patients and families. In early December 2013, the work started with the excavations (using some “big boys toys”), followed by an army of Rotary volunteers descending on the unit to lay the drainage, build the retaining walls and lay the pavers. To keep the army of volunteers well fuelled, the Queanbeyan Country Women’s Association provided much needed lunches and morning and afternoon teas. Final finishing touches were completed before Christmas. When asked how the yard looks now, the Renal Unit manager answered, "We are over the moon about it. Our utmost appreciation for the effort and hard work afforded by all; a truly inspiring and humbling experience to see everyone come together like that. … Thank you all for such a wonderful gift.”
