ABROAD
ON THE ROAD TO MOROCCO
with Ray & Liz Stokes of Berowra Heights
MAJOR DRAW THIS TUESDAY!
Ray says: We have just returned
from a magical 21 day trip through
Morocco with 20 friends. This photo
was taken just before we set off on a
two-hour camel ride into the Sahara
Desert to camp overnight in Nomad
tents. Our Tour Guide, Lhoucine, is
holding a copy of The Bush Telegraph
with Liz, who is waiting for her camel
to be selected. Seeing the sunset and
sunrise over the dunes of the Sahara
was amazing.

THE BUSH TELEGRAPH WEEKLY
Berowra Schools Unite For Colour
Trek … “Day For Daniel”
T
he inspiration of Year 4 teacher
of Berowra Public School Taran
Jones, five local schools – Berowra
Public School, Wideview Public
School, Berowra Christian School,
St Bernards Catholic School and
Cowan Public School – joined
together at Berowra Oval (pictured
above) on Friday 30th October for
the Day for Daniel Walk.
NRL Ambassador Nathan
Hindmarsh (former NRL player
who played for Australia, the
NSW Blues and the Eels – pictured
below right with two young fans)
joined the local schools’ event at
Taran’s invitation.
“As an NRL Ambassador I am
proud to be here today showing
our support for the Day for Daniel
and the local schools who are
raising awareness through the
2015 Colour Trek about safety for
kids as well as raising funds for the
Daniel Morcombe Foundation,”
said Nathan Hindmarsh. “I was very
happy to accept Taran’s invitation
to come to Berowra and be a
part of what is going to be a very
successful day.”
The long procession of walkers
ambled towards Warrina Street
Oval Berowra Heights via Berowra
Christian School where the colour
was GREEN, then on to Berowra
Public School for a liberal dousing
of purple and yellow (!) before
walking down to Warrina Street
Oval where students were sprinkled
in red and blue!
Taran said, “At Warrina Street Oval
there were some great raffles from
many organisations who supported
the ‘Day for Daniel’ initiative.”
In addition, Berowra Christian
School’s P&F donated 10% of their
recent Pet Show proceeds ($700)
to the Daniel Morcombe Foundation
(see photo below left).

Remembrance Day Tribute
The Town Clerk’s sons
By Scott Wilson
W
ithin the entrance to the North
Sydney Council Chambers, a
small plaque is mounted to a wall
in remembrance of 32 years of
service by William Barnett Smith,
the town clerk from 1890 to 1922.
Born in 1851, he had commenced
his working life as a journalist and
soon found himself the editor of
the “Mudgee Independent”. William
later worked for Loneragans, a
company founded in Mudgee
that operated several department
stores.
William worked for East St
Leonards Council prior to moving
to North Sydney Council. Whilst
working for North Sydney Council
he was noted for his frugality,
paying attention to the basics
and the efficiency of the council
under his management. The
author Michael Jones noted in
his book “History of North Sydney
1788-1988” that “With a business
person’s approach to
government, he kept
municipal expenses
to a minimum. North
Sydney with only 6 per
cent of income spent on
administration was one of the
most efficient, according to the
1913 Royal Commission on
Greater Sydney”.
Possibly to find relief from
his busy role, William took his
leisure in Berowra, owning
a house in Goodwyn Road
and five acres of land on
Yallambee Road. How often
he resided in the suburb is not
known, however former Berowra
resident Bill Wall mentioned the
ownership of the house and land
when he wrote a short history of
Berowra for Mick Joffe’s book
“Yarns & Photos”. Bill Wall also
mentioned seven children by
name, two of whom (Reginald
William Smith and Walter
Barnett Smith) are the subject
of this story.
William and his wife Susannah
had nine children between 1874
and 1899, five of whom were
sons. Reginald was born in 1888
and Walter in 1895. These two
sons would serve during the
First World War and are named
upon Berowra’s War Memorial
(left).
Walter was the first son to
enlist, signing up with the 117th
Howitzer Brigade on the 1st
February 1916. Walter was
22years old at the time, single
and trained as a surveyor. He
had been educated at Fort Street
High School and had militia
experience serving with the 18th
Infantry Regiment.
Walter’s occupation as a
surveyor involved familiarity with
measurements and mathematics
so it is not surprising that he
joined the artillery and was sent
to officer training at the “The

THE BUSH TELEGRAPH WEEKLY
Warren”. The Australian Field
Artillery had established
headquarters at an estate
in Marrickville which had
been previously owned
by a prominent Sydney
businessman named
Thomas Holt. It is believed
that at some point Holt raised
rabbits commercially on the
property, hence the name
“The Warren”.
“The Warren” was used
to train the artillery
reinforcements prior to
sending them overseas.
Walter spent many months
there before being appointed
as a Second Lieutenant with
the 117th Howitzer Battery on the
1st September 1916. At the end
of September 1916 he embarked
aboard the HMAT A60 ‘Aenas’
bound for England.
Walter arrived in England on the
19th November 1916 and spent time
at the ordnance school at Woolwich
before proceeding to France on the
19th April 1917. The 117th Howitzer
Battery had been disbanded on the
3rd March 1917 and once in France
Walter found himself attached to the
3rd Australian Field Artillery Brigade
on the 6th May 1917.
Walter’s service records do not
provide a clear picture of his
service, however he was promoted
to the rank of Lieutenant on 1st
August 1917 and later during
1918 he attended the Australian
Corps Gas School and Lewis Gun
School. Walter served through till
the armistice without incident and
early in 1919 took the opportunity
to further his surveying skills by
attending the AIF Survey School
in Southampton for the period
starting on the 27th February 1919
through till 30th June 1919. This
was classed as a non-military
employment which served the
function of keeping a serviceman’s
mind occupied whilst awaiting for a
CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT

return voyage as well as adding to
and refreshing their civilian skills.
When Walter did return to Australia
later in 1919 he was accompanied
by Miss Edna Copp whom I
suspect he may have met in
England. They were later married
at St Leonards in 1920 and gave
birth to a daughter in 1923. Walter
followed his father’s career path
and soon found employment as
the Shire Engineer for Colo Shire
Council.
Walter was later to serve for many
years as the Town Planner of
Bowral Council. Echoing the praise
given to his father’s contribution to
North Sydney Council, the Mayor
of Bowral noted at the conclusion
of the final meeting of Bowral
Town Planning Committee in July
1948 that “Mr. Barnett Smith had
carried out his work in a particularly
thorough manner, and had accepted
the many criticisms of the plan
without protest. The committee
owed a debt to him for his
thoroughness”. Walter passed away
in 1949 aged fifty five years.
Part II will be published in next
week’s Bush Tele.

Parent community support for
exciting upgrades at St Bernard’s
KU-RING-GAI LGA WELCOMES
PARLIAMENTARY FINDINGS
Over $1.5m of desperately needed
building works have transformed
St Bernard’s Catholic Primary
School in Berowra Heights, with four
brand new classrooms, and other
classrooms extensively refurbished,
with the latest in multi-media capability
installed to support student learning.
These modernisations required
upgrading the classroom furniture,
identifying a funding gap, which needs
to be bridged by parent fundraising.
Two local parents have already
helped bridge that gap. Real estate
agent Francesca Parrino of McGrath
Ku-ring-gai
Council Mayor,
Cheryl Szatow
(pictured), has
welcomed the
findings of an
Upper House
inquiry critical
of the Baird
Government’s
merger proposals for councils.
The inquiry has made 17
recommendations and 9 findings
based on several months’
consultation and public hearings
involving local communities, councils
and other stakeholders. The findings
were announced on 29 October.
The inquiry found that the Baird
Government’s benchmarks used
to assess whether councils were
‘fit for the future’ were unreliable.
The inquiry also criticised what it
called a ‘rushed and flawed’ reform
process which focused too heavily
on council mergers.
Mayor Cheryl Szatow welcomed
has a personal attachment to the
school and parish community as a
former St Bernard’s parent, and upon
being approached for suggestions,
generously donated funds.
Francesca’s donation of $4,000 will
be split between a contribution to the
“furniture fund”, and a $2,000 travel
voucher, which is first prize of the St
Bernard’s Community Fete raffle, and
provided at cost by parent, Michelle
Desmarchelier from TravelManagers.

St Bernard’s students.
the inquiry’s findings, saying that
it vindicated Ku-ring-gai Council’s
opposition to a merger with Hornsby.
“We are in excellent shape
financially, delivering quality services
and meeting the needs of residents,
now and in the future. One has to
ask what the Baird Government’s
real agenda is if a council such as
ours is being tossed aside.”
“Ku-ring-gai ratepayers face rates
increases, loss of representation
and reduced service levels if a
merger with Hornsby goes ahead.”
“As Mayor I cannot support the
Baird Government on this issue. I
would be letting down ratepayers if I
did not oppose this on their behalf.”
She urged local residents who
were not in favour of the proposed
merger between Ku-ring-gai and
Hornsby to express their view to
their local state members Alastir
Henskens and Jonathan O’Dea.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
Dear Bush Tele,
Richies was just as good a
supermarket as Coles. It was let
down by IGA’s daggy image and by
Berowra Heights being too small to
support two supermarkets. Another
supermarket operator will suffer
the same fate unless it’s sufficiently
differentiated to draw in customers
from beyond the suburb (as Aldi
does at Mount Kuring-gai). A large,
speciality retailer with no local
presence or local competition (think
Super Cheap Autos or Spotlight)
would be a welcome replacement
but to be successful would require
out-of-suburb customers. Given
Berowra Heights’ location, they are
unlikely to be attracted.
Without the attraction of a speciality
retailer, the centre is doomed as a
retail hub. How long it survives will
be determined by the time remaining
on the existing leases between
operators and the centre’s owner. If
the owner were to buy out the leases
the site could be redeveloped for
further housing. Alternatively, our councillors could
put some effort into pressurising
Hornsby Council to purchase the
site as the location for a pool (after
all, they have our money to fund
that purchase) and find a business
partner to build and operate the pool
as a commercial venture; that being
the only public pool Berowra is ever
going to see.
I know which option I’d like.
Henry Gillard, received online
Dear Bush Tele,
Re future use of the IGA Berowra
site (TBTW 22-10-15)
More shops we do not need – just
look at the new but vacant ones
nearby. But what better place for
Berowra’s long-awaited aquatic and
fitness centre?
Come on, Hornsby Shire Councillors
– give it the thumbs up!
Barry Beattie, Berowra
Dear Bush Tele,
So sad to hear that IGA is not
reopening. I would love to see a
Harris Farm Market there – great
position, easy parking, fantastic fruit
and vegetable chain.
Maria, received online
Dear Bush Tele,
When the units were being built
behind Berowra Hardware they
had a flyer on their front desk
protesting with outrage the ugly
and inappropriate development
about to happen. It was always a
point of discussion. The irony of
it all. Berowra needs more retail
shops to service its already over
populated suburb – we don’t need
more housing. Keep the site for retail
shopping. Aldi would be welcome
here or at the IGA site.
Geoff, received online

T
hen why not book a sector
of Cunard’s World
Voyage 2016?
Natalie Jeffers, local Berowra
Heights resident and Director of
Absolute Luxury Travel, sailed
aboard the QM2 last year and
has defined the experience as
extraordinary. Enjoy her report of
last year’s coastal voyage:
“I have just cruised aboard Queen
Mary 2 and what an experience!
Big ship luxury and high-tech, with
a golden era feel.
British and very elegant, the QM2
has contemporary styling.”
Highlights:
• Afternoon tea – A British
tradition, yet culinary experience
• Cocktails and canapés
in the Commodore Club, a
large observation lounge with
magnificent ocean views
• Delicious dining menus
designed by Cunard’s Culinary
Ambassador, Jean-Marie
Zimmermannch
• Black and White Ball in the
Queen’s Room – imagine a big
band playing songs of yesteryear
and couples waltzing as they
did in the dance halls whilst
courting their young partner all
those years ago
• Trivia or darts in the Golden
Lion Pub
• The Library is a stunning twodeck-high wood-panelled 6,000book facility with two full-time
librarians and a separate bookshop
sells maritime-related books,
memorabilia, maps and stationery
• Canyon Ranch SpaClub.
“The food was excellent and the
White Star Service impeccable.”
Cunard is legendary. The ship is
filled with memorabilia of famous
celebrities and politicians who

voyages – Tennesee Williams,
Elizabeth Taylor, Eleanor Roosevelt,
Queen Elizabeth - The Queen
Mother, Bob Hope, Rita Hayworth,
Cary Grant, Jerry Lewis & Dean
Martin, Charles Chaplin, Walt Disney
and Bing Crosby to name a few.
Cunard is known to have the most
formal dress code of all cruise lines;
gentlemen must wear jackets after
6pm, however my experience was
that the dress code has relaxed. Days
are ‘elegant casual’ and evening attire
is either “Formal” or “Informal”.
“I always thought Cunard was
stuffy, how wrong I was… the
ambiance onboard was very
friendly and guests happy to
socialise and have a good time.
“The QM2 felt like a home away
from home.”

PRICELESS
PEARLS
TREASURE CHEST FULL OF TOYS DONATED
TO HORNSBY HOSPITAL’S CHILDREN’S WARD
By Ralph Estherby
“Who does that?
Why do they do that?
Don’t they know that this is how you
are meant to do it?”
We often have very important
conversations about very important
things in our house and this was one
of them. It would seem that someone
(only two people use this bathroom
and my wife was the one asking the
questions…) had left the toothpaste
crushed and mashed from the middle
when it should have been carefully
squeezed from the bottom and left
nice and flat. Several members of the
family weighed in and the consensus
was that the offender had done the
wrong thing and had left behind
an issue for others…part of me
wanted to go through the house and
squeeze every tube I could find but
the reasonable part of me took it ‘on
board’ and gave it a little more thought.
When you step onto a boat and cross
a patch of water as you look behind
you will see a ‘wake’. The larger the
boat the larger the wake; the faster the
boat the larger the wake.
When you see the footage on
television following a cyclone or a
tornado they try to show you aerial
photos of the path of destruction that
the storm has left behind.
We hear a lot about the environmental
impact we make upon our world –
each individual leaving a ‘footprint’ and
most of the time it is a negative impact
that is portrayed.
Have you ever considered what you
are leaving behind in your ‘wake’?
Are you frustrating others by the
heinous misuse of toothpaste tubes?
Are you leaving a path of destruction
in relationships or interactions you
have with others? Are you causing
ripples which add excitement, or
waves that make people uneasy?
Psalm 23:6 gives a great promise to
those who will follow the Lord “surely
goodness and mercy will follow me
all the days of my life”. Usually people
see this as a promise of good things
coming their way but what if it also
means that in our ‘wakes’ we could
leave behind these awesome gifts
for others?
I have always wanted my life to count
for something and just maybe this is a
way I can make it happen. The more
closely I follow Jesus the more good
things will follow after me.
So my question to you today is “what
is in your wake?”
A local northern Sydney mothers group, Smiles2U, have been
undertaking a toy drive for the Children’s Ward at Hornsby
Ku-ring-gai Hospital. They have had an overwhelming response,
with enough donations to fill an entire treasure chest. The group delivered the toys on Friday, 23 October.
Many children undergo painful procedures while in hospital and
a surprise treat from the treasure chest will help turn their visit
into a positive experience. All toys are new and the children get
to keep the toys. The chest was made and donated by a local
men’s shed (pictured below).
The Children’s Ward, Nurse Unit Manager, Louise Robinson,
was overwhelmed with the generosity. “These donations will
make the hospital stay for some
children that bit easier. Our treasure
chest was almost empty until
Smiles2U coordinated the toy drive.”
Manager Fundraising and
Volunteers, Hornsby Liesl McGrath
said: “As a hospital, we are very
appreciative of the donations from
the community.
We thank each and every person
who has contributed.”
Rachel is from ‘North Shore Mums’: www.northshoremums.com.au/about
The two Michelles are from Smiles2U. They live in Willoughby (Michelle Barry –
0421 135 719) and Killara (Michelle Key).

MARKET UPDATE
LOCAL REAL ESTATE NEWS!
In A
Nutshell
by Jason Gower, Principal
Paul Jones Real Estate
When prospecting for properties to sell over the past
quarter of a century of being a real estate agent, I wish
I had been given a dollar for every time I heard the
phrase, “ No, you’ll be taking me out in a pine box”.
I always reply politely with, “and I hope that is not soon!”
The fact is that there are a number of our ‘aging’
population who simply want to stay in their local area, a
place they are familiar with, close to a network of friends
Thursday 5th November 2015
and facilities but in a new home that is
purpose-built to help them maintain a
lifestyle in their senior years.
It is with this in mind that we must think
about our ‘over 55’s’ (and that’s NOT old).
Where do they go in their retirement
years when they find it increasingly difficult to maintain the great Aussie dream
home that sheltered their kids, giving
them a yard to play in and as for those
now painful stairs?
Why is it then, that there is a very
vocal and naïve crowd in Berowra (and
elsewhere) that is hell-bent on making
it difficult for any development suitable
for our aging but still spritely and not
infirmed residents?
When ‘Athenry’ (Berowra Waters Road)
over 55’s (SEPP 5) was built and sold,
some 10 years ago, there was a huge
uproar. Now there is a waiting list for
when one comes up for sale. As for ‘the
Great Wall of Berowra’ (Turner Road
Berowra Heights), it was the protesting
(anti-development) few that damned
prior, aesthetically pleasing designs,
and look what you got!
Why is it then that the same vocal group
of ‘locals’, along with some new recruits,
are so anti the proposed development on
the Berowra Hardware site? Something
that I know senior locals will buy so as to
continue enjoying the wonderful Berowra
community that we have grown to love.
Sure, it is everyone’s right to have an
opinion but don’t let this one be another
victim of ‘death by Facebook’! Do your
homework, look at your future and the
future of others, then have a good hard
think about the concept and give positive
feedback before lashing out in the negative like an angry lynch mob!
Because I know how people think, I will
add that I have no association with this
development, have had no
communication with the proposer over
this development before writing this
article, nor been employed to benefit
from the future sales of this site. If I am
asked to submit a proposal, I would be
honoured to do so.
Until next time. Take care!

GETTING
PRE-APPROVAL WILL
HELP YOU SECURE
A PROPERTY
Buying a house is a very exciting time, and it’s difficult for
most home buyers to stop themselves from jumping right in
and looking at property. However, getting pre-approved for
a mortgage is one of the most important things to do when
beginning your home search.
It is only natural to want to start looking at houses immediately,
but if you get pre-approval first, the remainder of the process
will be much simpler.
Below I have listed five reasons why you should get
pre-approval before you start house hunting.
YOU’LL BECOME REALISTIC
Falling in love with a home that exceeds your price range can be
upsetting, so avoid this by obtaining pre-approval before
you begin.
IT SAVES TIME
While it’s fun to search listings and attend inspections, it can
also be wasteful of your time to be looking at properties you
might not be able to afford.
IT MAKES YOU A SERIOUS PLAYER
When it comes time to make an offer on a property, you will be
taken much more seriously in the eyes of a vendor if you have
pre-approval. In fact, your offer may be more attractive because
the sellers will know you’ve already secured a mortgage.
YOU’LL REDUCE YOUR RISK
If you enter into a contract on a property without pre-approval
you could be placing yourself at risk. Firstly, getting a mortgage
approval may take time and it may push back your ability to
close if you don’t already have pre-approval. Secondly, if you
fail to get approved for a mortgage after entering into a sales
contract you may end up losing the deposit you gave.
IT SPEEDS UP THE PROCESS
Having pre-approval before entering into a sales contract will
make the process much more streamlined and you will be able
to close the deal without delay.

New-build Home Sales
Drift Lower
The HIA New Home Sales Report, a survey of Australia’s largest volume
builders, showed monthly new home sales declined by 4.0 per cent in
September 2015, with the level of activity down from the April peak by
5.2 per cent.
“The decline in total new home sales was reflected in both the detached
and non-detached segments of the market in September 2015,” said HIA
economist, Diwa Hopkins.
“Following the peak level of sales that occurred in April this year, sales
activity has trended lower only very modestly. This augers well for actual
new home building activity in 2015/16.
“A fresh record level of building activity during this financial year could
have been achieved – and could have been of strong benefit to the
broader domestic economy – but increasingly restrictive credit conditions
are likely to curtail the boom in new home building.”
“The deterioration in credit conditions is likely to weigh more heavily on
new home building activity beyond 2015/16. We have therefore pared
back our forecasts for activity over our forecast horizon beyond the end of
the current financial year.”
In the month of September 2015 detached house sales declined in four
out of the five the mainland states. Detached house sales declined by 19.8
per cent South Australia, 8.6 per cent in Western Australia, 5.9 per cent in
Queensland and 0.5 per cent in New South Wales. In Victoria, detached
house sales increased by 3.1 per cent.

THEATRE
IN THE PARK
A night under the stars on a deckchair or rug – sure beats a
stuffy, enclosed theatre.
That’s just one of the great joys Theatre in the Park offers. Since
1999, Brooklyn Community Theatre has performed a one-nightonly event and has become a hugely popular evening for locals
and visitors alike.
Artistic Director Peter Hughes believes there are many reasons
for its ongoing success. “You arrive at the park to be greeted
by an amazing stage and background music. There is a sense of
excitement amongst the audience who sip on their favourite
drink or dine on delicious food. As night arrives, it takes on a
whole new ambience and suddenly the stage lights up and you
are treated to a hilarious play, performed by actors who you may
even know. The show is always high quality, with the focus on
fun. It truly is a magical evening.”
Saturday 14 November 2015. Gates open and great food from
6.30pm – Curtains up 8.30pm.
If you would like to purchase tickets to this wonderful event
you can purchase online www.theatreinthepark.com.au or at
Hawkesbury River Real Estate, Brooklyn or at the gate on the
night.
No parking is available on the site, however parking is available
in Brooklyn and Mooney Mooney from where courtesy buses
will run.
Courtesy buses will run from 6:15pm to 8pm on a loop picking
up every 15-20 minutes between Hawkesbury River Railway
Station; The Anglers Rest Hotel Brooklyn Road, Brooklyn;
Mooney Mooney Club Kowan Road, Mooney Mooney; and the
Rest Park
