PORT VINCENT — South Australia
PROGRESS ASSOCIATION REPORT—JANUARY 2021
Welcome 2021!
I’m not that convinced that this year will bring a miraculous change to the world we live in, but we can dream!
We hope that everyone has had a fabulous Christmas and New Year holiday. It’s wonderful to see so many people
enjoying Port Vincent, even if it has been so incredibly windy!
The PVPA has been in recess since early December, and returns next month, the first Thursday in February 2021.
The Port Vincent Instute upgrade is progressing nicely - A few more upgrades to be completed in 2021, but the kitchen &
supper room are now complete. It will be wonderful to see this facility starng to host some events in the near future.
Some exci7ng news! We have received no7fica7on from the Yorke Peninsula Council that our 2020 (our 50th) Gala Day
has been nominated for an Australia Day Award. Congratula7ons to all those who worked voluntarily both on the day,
and prior to the event—your hard work has been acknowledged. We will definitely keep you advised of the outcome!
However, it was a slightly unusual New Year’s Day this year, due to the fact that the PVPA did not host a Gala Day. But, it
appeared that all the visitors to the community enjoyed a quieter family beach day (the above photos are a testament to
this). We hope that we will see the return of Gala Day in 2022.
To all the visitors to our community, please connue to enjoy our fabulous town. Spend your money in our local
businesses. The proprietors appreciate every cent you spend, a:er the past year they have had! As always, if you have
feed back on your holiday, or our town, please share with us by emailing us at:

Editor’s Comments
Welcome to the first edion of the A Focal Point for 2021. Thank you to all our readers for the wonderful support they have given to
this publicaon over the past year. We currently have over 220 online/email recipients of the AFP, and Fraser Ellis’ office print over 200
hard copies for us each month. The support of Fraser Ellis’ office, and the businesses that adverse with us each month, allow this
publicaon to be offered free of charge to our readers. If you are a visitor to our town I urge you to go to the Port Vincent website and
subscribe to our newsle?er. You will then receive an email each month with a link to a pdf copy of this publicaon. This will keep you
up to date with “all things Port Vincent”.
As you can gather from the reports in this publicaon, some of our groups, such as Tidy Towns, are hecc over the school holiday
period, and the CFS and Coastguard are constantly on call! Although some of our groups are in recess over the January period, they are
sll working “behind the scenes” to ensure that their organisaons are ready for whatever 2021 conjures up! Our Progress Associaon
currently has several projects on the go, which they have been working on, and this has led to work connuing throughout the break!
These comprise grant applicaons, slip lane follow up, arranging training courses for our volunteers, history book research, Correll Park
project management, the Instute salt damp and renovaons, to name just a few! Please take up Michelle’s suggeson of contacng
Progress with any suggesons you may have. I can assure you these will be followed up by our Progress Associa�on.
However, somemes we need your help! In previous edions of A Focal Point I asked residents to contact DPTI regarding the need for
a slip lane on the northern entrance to Port Vincent. Thank you to our readers who have followed up with this safety issue.
If you haven’t yet found �me to follow up I urge you to do so—the more le�ers/emails received the be�er.
A lot has been said about the year that we have had, and how well we have adapted to the changes that COVID-19 has brought to our
lives. I would like to take this opportunity to extend a hearEelt thank you to the teaching staff, and educaon ancillary and
administraon staff who connued to offer services to our students over this stressful period. Too o:en we forget that they were
indeed frontline workers, but without masks and safety equipment. In the early days of COVID-19 it was an unknown situaon for all of
us. Teachers had to adapt to the new normal, which meant trying to alleviate fear within their student community, and to connue to
teach the curriculum, even when some of this was done remotely. Congratulaons to all our students who were presented with this
unexpected situaon, and dealt so well with it. In parcular, our Port Vincent Year 12 students should be commended for their efforts.
We wish those of them who are heading to University this year the very best of luck. We hope that they return to our community with
qualificaons and experse that will serve both them and our residents into the future.
Last month I gave you a link to Red Cross, which gave you general informaon. This link gives specific informaon about coping in
heatwave condions. Thankfully we haven’t had too many days of extreme heat yet this summer.

MONDAY’S FELLOWSHIP GROUP—(FORMERLY BLUE BUSH CLUB)
November 23 - Jane welcomed a very small group of members today, as some were away with medical appointments,
illness or visitors.
We sang our song with the new group name. It will take a few tries to get it sounding great. Members finalised the next
meeng, which will be our last for the year, and included our Christmas lunch. Members decided to donate $5 each,
instead of bringing a gi:, and this will be donated to a charity.
Members amused themselves with some lively games of Bugs with chocy treats for prizes.
Members enjoyed a pooled lunch, with fruit salad and ice cream for dessert.
A quiet, but enjoyable day. Thanks to everyone who helped provide a great lunch and to all who died up - thank you.
December 14 - Coordinator Jane welcomed 14 members to our Christmas lunch meeng, which was our last get together
for this year.
Members were greeted to a very fesve look, with tables clad with brightly coloured cloths, bonbons and servie?es, and
table decoraons, all in the Christmas theme.
Members held a brief meeng, and were advised the group resumes next year on Monday, February 9th at 9.45am.
Everyone was asked to bring a plate of savouries to share.
To begin the day, everyone was given a Christmas puzzle, or word search, with a promise of a gi: to follow for some, and
all enjoyed a glass or two of refreshing punch, and some nibbles.
Our main course was a cold selecon of turkey, chicken or ham, served with seven different salads. What a feast!!
Christmas sckers were hidden on plates, bowls or glasses, and the winners were given a nice surprise.
We enjoyed singing lots of Christmas Carols before enjoying dessert which was the tradional Christmas pudding served
with custard, ice cream or cream. Some chose to have fruit salad.
A Christmas Cake decorated for Geraldine's birthday was cut, and enjoyed by all. We sang Happy Birthday and Geraldine
also received a posy and a card. Each member donated $5, which will be sent to the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
Thank you to everyone who cooked meat, made salads, and helped to dy up.
A great day and a great finish to a very trying year.

THE SOUTH AUSTRALIAN COUNTRY WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION INC
Port Vincent Branch
Our Christmas meeng became a Spencer Group Lunch when members of Minlaton, Moonta, and Yorketown branches
joined us for a combined lunch on Monday 14 December at President Kathleen Smith’s new home. Unfortunately, the heat
of the day kept some local members, and some members from other branches away. As usual, there was food aplenty to
be shared.
This event finished a challenging year for SACWA, as it was for all not-for-profit organisaons. Spencer Group branches and
individual members generously supported SACWA’s drive to minimalise the affect of the Covid-19 epidemic on the
operaons of our associaon. This was achieved by supplying preserves and jams, baked goods, handicra:, etc for the
various ingenious fundraising measures that the State Markeng Commi?ee came up with. In this way, we were acvely
involved in keeping the organisaon afloat.
A parcular success was the SACWA Pop-Up Shop in the Adelaide Arcade, which operated, on invitaon, by the Arcade
Manager, for five weeks. Not only did it create much needed income, but it also spread the word about SACWA to a wider
audience, and has already resulted in new members.
Ongoing ideas and updates can be found on the SACWA ‘Facebook’ page, and on Instagram, as well as lots of informaon
on the website: www.sacwa.org.au.
Sadly, long me local member, Pam Trinne, passed away just before Christmas. Her life was remembered with love by her
family at a private Thanksgiving and Remembrance Service at Port Vincent Senior Cizens hall on 30 December. Port
Vincent Branch members thank Mr Ron Trinne for his invitaon for us to assist with the catering for those who a?ended.
Our 2021 program will begin on Thursday 11 February.
For more information call President Kathleen Smith on 0428 746 018 or Secretary Helen Joraslafsky on 0419 001 420.

NARUNGGA ELECTORATE UPDATE
A new year – a new office loca7on
Member for Narungga Fraser Ellis MP advises over the Christmas break the Narungga Electorate Office moved
from its exisng locaon of 51 Robert Street Maitland to 37 Graves Street Kadina.
“When I was first elected in 2018, I inherited the Maitland office of my predecessor Steven Griffiths and have
been there since. With the lease on this building ending in January 2021, the decision was made to move the
electorate office to Kadina, the region’s commercial centre which houses numerous government agencies”,
Mr Ellis said.
“In my view the move to the electorate’s highest populated Copper Coast region will improve accessibility for a
majority of constuents, parcularly in light of the electorate boundary changes to come into effect from March
2022 when the Adelaide Plains communies are to be removed from the State seat of Narungga.
“Localies including Mallala, Dublin, Lower Light and Long Plains and the beach communies of Port Parham,
Thompson Beach and Webb Beach are to move out of the Narungga electorate in 2022 to be replaced with
communies further north of the exisng electorate boundary such as Blyth, Brinkworth and Redhill. Thus, in my
view, the new Kadina office is considered a good central locaon for the new electorate office.”
Mr Ellis thanks all the local tradies who worked very hard in the lead up to Christmas to have the new office fit out
ready to go for the new year.
“2020 was a challenge for so many individuals, families, businesses, community organisaons, our front-line
health workers and all ers of government and industry sectors, with the terrible fires early in the year and then
from March, dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Christmas came around very quickly, and I was sorry not to have been personally able to a?end the end of year
school assemblies I usually do to present the MP medal to deserving recipients but with restricons on
a?endances, I was mindful not to take up a seat of a family member.
The Robert Street office in Maitland closed on 22 December, and the new office at 37 Graves Street Kadina
opened on Monday, 11 January 2021.
Cons�tuents are advised that the exis�ng phone number of 8832 2455 will remain ac�ve
throughout the transi�on period, and that the office website and email addresses have not
changed.

PORT VINCENT BOWLING CLUB—DECEMBER 2020
Season 2020/2021 started off with some uncertainty due to COVID-19, and we wondered how long we would be able to
play Pennants/Social bowls. We were unable to play 2 rounds due to the sudden 2 week lockdown in November. As a
result we were forced to cancel both our Ladies and Men’s Tournaments, which are major fundraisers for the club.
On the green we have performed extremely well with results at the Christmas break showing:
Ladies 1st Div currently top, Ladies 2nd Div holding down 2nd, Saturday Open Pennants have 1st Div on top with 2nd Div
Black in 3rd place, and Gold has some work to do to get off 11th posion, Mid Week Pennants see Gold in 3rd place and
Black in 9th. Let’s hope we can retain or improve our posi�ons for the remainder of the season.
Pennants resumed on Thursday 7th for Ladies, Open on Saturday 9th and Mid Week on 13th.
Twilight bowls is set to return on Thursday 21st, with the regular BBQ from 6PM. See sign at the end of Main St for more
details. Friday Night teas, prepared by Les and Donna (formerly located at the Deli), resumed at the club on the 8th January
from 5PM. Bingo commenced on Monday 28th Dec, resumed on Mon 4th and Thurs 7th, and there will be a further two
sessions on Mon 11th and Thurs 14th January.
Roger Underwood and his team have started our long awaited web page, and it is up and running. More informaon and
photos are being added as they come to hand. It’s worth a look, please check it out at:-

FISHING REPORT— Wayne Crouch
Well, the fishing scene for the new year has been very poor, due to connuing sea breezes.
Crabs are sll on the small size. Plenty are available, but most do not make size. But, when boats can get out,
there are larger crabs by the oyster lease.
Snook are around in large numbers , also by the oyster leases. If you slow troll along the spit, you should get a
feed.
Garfish and King George whing are spasmodic, due to the weather, but a few warm days will hopefully bring
them on the bite.
I saw a few schools of yellowfin, but the weather is also upse\ng them.
A feed of tommies can be caught from the wharf a:er dark, but the weather has to be favourable.
I am glad to see the new fines for exceeding bag limits etc, that are being implemented by the State
Government. I hope they are vigorously policed, as they are long overdue. I have not spoken to a fisherman
who does not agree with them.
Tight lines!

SAF10 REPORT—JANUARY 2021
Happy New Year to the residents of, and visitors to, Port Vincent.
December was quieter than usual. We received one call out towards the end of November, and three in
December. Out of the three December ones, two were on one day. Assists were successful with one of the three
stood down.
November’s call out was about a Bar Crusher that had come adri: off Black Point. Vincent Star with a crew of
four went as far as Tiddy Widdy Beach, but were unable to locate the boat. A few days’ later an arcle appeared
in The Adverser saying that a Bar Crusher was beached near Proof Range, on the other side of the gulf. On
further invesgaon, it was proved to be the boat we had been searching for.
The five hours spent on the water searching for the Bar Crusher provided our skipper with an opportunity to put
Vincent Star through her paces. The water was choppy, with waves up to two metres. There was a bit of surfing
from me to me, but she performed well. The automac pilot was engaged at mes, and the radar was used as
a search tool. This was an interesng exercise, especially idenfying blips, and what they represented (please
refer photos below).
Good news. The Council has given approval to go ahead with the extension to the back of the shed.
Just a reminder that if you have PFDs with gas boRles, check to see if those boRles are s7ll in date.
Coast Guard wish you all the best for 2021. Happy fishing, or boa7ng, whatever the case may be.
Keep Safe

Tidy Towns A Focal Point Report – December 2020 Issue
December and early January has seen the Group maintain the mandatory social distancing and gathering
numbers during work days, adhering to Government requirements and also to our responsibilies to both the
Community and our members.
The recycling team has again been very busy throughout this period with both deposit and wine bo?les
exceeding expectaons. On our first work day of January we crushed over 2 ton of wine bo?les, which would
equate to approximately 1500 bo?les, which is no mean feat for us and the consumers of their contents!
The tables at the Kiosk area have had a makeover, with a contribuon by one of our members, and the
council, which resulted in the provision of stainless steel sheeng for the tabletops. The work was completed
by contractors and some of our skilful members (see some of the team in the photos below).
Work is ongoing at Correll and Benne? Park, but the lack of a green waste disposal site within the township is
rather inconvenient, as it has restricted the amount of vegetaon we can process. It is unrealisc to ask
members to transport anything but a full load out of town to the Waste Disposal Depot. We will consult with
the council in the New Year to find a soluon.
The rabbit problem sll exists in many areas around town, and we will seek advice from the NRM in the New
Year as to how to tackle it with more involvement from the Community.

A Happy , Safe and Prosperous New Year to all
During the break, the RSL has connued to have Thursday and Saturday meengs at the Museum. That is how we check up on
the world of Port Vincent, and a?empt to solve the world’s problems (ie we have a chat and a gossip with a cuppa).
The updated gardens for the area are being watered, and the weather has assisted by not being too hot, and allowing the plants
to se?le in.
On the social side we have had a break, and only had our Christmas Day Friendship Luncheon. Once again this luncheon was
well received, and enjoyed by those who a?ended. Father Christmas was all “Covided out“, with vising houses , halls and lots
