Progress Association President’s Report... Well, not much to report on this time of the year in Hardwicke Bay! With the turn in the weather, everything slows down and visitors become rare. Still, in between the rain we have had some glorious autumn days with a few boaties heading out to try and get some early winter whiting. The country has had a much needed drink, with rainwater tanks filling up and paddocks turning green. Everything looks refreshed.

Our current projects are all on track to be completed within the next few weeks and months. The bike track in Progress Park will be formed next Saturday, the playground extension is completed with the fencing to go in very shortly and the rock wall around our entrance sign will go up by the end of June. That only leaves our replacement beach shelters that have been held up by the engineering plans – the engineer doing them decided to get married and went on a honeymoon – obviously not dedicated to our project! Nevertheless, we will definitely have them up when they are needed by early summer.

Have a look at the event at the hall advertised in this edition – free sausages at Friday night drinks on the long weekend. Come along and see our latest purchase for the hall too – a new wooden bar! See you there.

President

It was recently noticed that our townships AED (Automated external defibrillator)

(or heart kick start machine!!) that is located on the wall of the shop here in

Hardwicke Bay - was not registered. If the machine is registered with SAAS (South

Australian Ambulance Service) when someone calls triple zero due to a medical

emergency and a heart problem is suspected, they will now be advised that there

is an AED at the shop that may assist until the ambulance arrives. This oversight

has now been rectified and the machine is officially registered.

A few early pioneers of Hardwicke Bay

The expansion of the township of Hardwicke Bay, north of the

Cutline, that has made Hardwicke Bay the town we know today,

began in 1971 when Darryl and Dianne Rohde, who were looking to

build their first home, approached the landowner and divided a

corner off of Section 262, Hundred of Minlacowie (corner of Beach

and Northshore roads). Six years later Arthur (Mick) Moore and his

wife Phyllis (nee Boundy) went on to subdivide part of their farm,

beginning with the further subdivision of Section 262 and Section

253N, the land south of Beach Road encompassing Progress Park,

followed by Section 263, along Moore’s Drive, a few years later.

The substantial stone home on Progress Road, currently owned by

the Honner family, is situated on Section 253S. This section was

purchased in 1923 by Walter Marquand Le Poidevin and his wife

Harriet Ann (nee Boundy), grandparents of long-term Hardwicke Bay

resident, Daph Koop. Walter and his sons, Walter Henry and Clifford

Boundy Le Poidevin, built the house that still stands today in 1925.

WM Le Poidevin & Sons were well known for the construction of con-

crete water tanks, many still stand in the local area. The large tank adjacent to the Honner home was erected by them in April

1925.

Excerpt from a letter written to the children’s pages of the Chronicle in 1911, by Walter Henry Le Poidevin, when he was 12

years old. “Hardwicke Bay, Brentwood…I go to school with my brother Clifford, and I am in the fourth class. We have two miles

to walk…I can’t tell you much about Brentwood because it is such a small town. There are two blacksmith shops, school,

church, store and institute. Hardwicke Bay is a nice beach for sea shells, and especially nautilus shells. My grandfather lives

close to the sandhills. He is a large farmer and in the holidays Clifford and I help our grandfather with his sheep…”

Walter’s grandparents, Henry and Harriet Boundy, after moving to the

area in the 1870’s built their first house of mud on Section 19 in the

paddock now owned by the Walton family.

There have been three recent reports of abalone poachers near Hardwicke Bay. The first incident occurred about 2

months ago north of Moores Drive near the Pt. Minlacowie boat ramp when local police caught two men poaching

undersize abalone and exceeding the daily bag limit. Another group were seen poaching abalone on Flaherty’s

Beach about 6 weeks ago, about 1 km south of the boat launch area. Unfortunately, they escaped before Police

and Fisheries could arrive.

Just last week, two men were caught with

256 undersize abalone (see photo) in a

joint Fisheries and Police operation that

resulted in one being arrested and one

being reported. This time, they were

about 1 km north of where the asphalt

ends on Moores Drive.

If anyone sees suspicious activity, which

would include vehicles parked in unusual

locations, possibly with a lookout with

that car, perhaps number plates obscured,

snorkelers in the water just offshore

around shallow reefs – please call

Fishwatch on 1800 065 522. Do not ap-

proach the people – these are serious

criminals involved in organised crime!!

ABALONE POACHERS!!

FREE FOOD!!!! On the upcoming June long weekend,

the Progress Association will be putting

on a free sausage sizzle for members at

the hall on our regular Friday night

drinks session. The date is Friday 7

June. We will also be putting in an

additional $100 in the members draw

(in addition to whatever the jackpot may be by then.)

We realise many shackies don't get here until later so will be

conducting the draw (that you must be present to win) at

8.00 pm that night. Drinks start at around 5.00 pm, the

sausages will be ready around 6 - 6.30 pm and then the

draw at 8.00 pm. Bring along the whole family for a few free

sausages with bread, onions and sauce of course!! And don't

forget the bar will be open with $3.00 wines and beers.

Put this in your diary!! See you there.

A huge thank you to one of our local companies, Redding Crushing, who have donated 56 tonnes of soil so we can create a bike track in Progress Park for the local kids. Shane and Belynda Redding operate from Mt Rat just past Minlaton and deliver gravel and soil products all around the peninsula. At the moment they have their crushing plant just past the end of Moores Drive near Hardwicke Bay, so it is an ideal time to order gravel for your

yard as cartage is a minimum being so close to us. They can be contacted on 0409 099 477 for orders. Thanks again Shane and Belynda!! The Progress Association have listened to those that had concerns about the bike track and have ensured the following will occur: The track will be constructed of clay based earth that will set like concrete and will prevent dust. No trees or shrubs will be removed to construct the track. "No motorbikes" signs will be erected. The track will be in the centre of the scrub area of Progress Park so it is not near adjoining properties.

The track is being formed by a local bobcat driver in the next week or so.

Enforcement of Dog and Cat Microchipping Laws

17 MAY 2019 Yorke Peninsula Council

New laws introduced on 1 July 2018 made it a legal requirement for all dogs and cats to be microchipped by 12 weeks of age, or at

the point of sale. This includes all dogs and cats, including those that were born before 1 July 2018.

Currently, approximately 700 dogs across our region are still not microchipped. As a gentle warning, from 1 July 2019 an audit will be

conducted on dogs and cats that are not microchipped, and fines will be issued to owners that are not compliant.

Please do not let this happen, be responsible and get your pet microchipped.
