The Department of Public Works has let a contract for the construction of two breakwaters under a $2 million project to improve the entrance to the Wagonga River, Narooma. The entrance at Narooma is particularly hazardous to fishing vessels and has been the scene of several fatal accidents in recent years. The decision will be welcomed by fishermen and tourists along the South Coast, but particularly by the residents of Narooma because it will have a big economic impact on the town.
The Narooma branch of St. Vincent de Paul Society has expressed its heartfelt gratitude to the hundreds of residents of the area from Bateman’s Bay to beyond Bega, who responded so generously to the appeal for assistance for the members of the Parson family who lost their home and possessions in a recent fire. Complete outfits of clothing and furnishing of their temporary home at Stony Creek has been achieved. However, there is still a need to replace the demolished home at North Narooma and the Narooma Progress Association has resolved to take an interest in attending to same.
Moruya’s Senior Citizens were treated to a card afternoon at Ted Briggs’ Golden Fleece Service Station on Monday afternoon. Mrs Briggs organised the afternoon which was attended by more than 30 of Moruya’s Senior Citizens.
It was good to know that Dalmeny has been all ‘lit up’ with a number of new street lights. However, it appears that ‘the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the oil’, so the quiet folk of Ocean Parade have missed out and this dusty, rough road has not a single street light.
A record attendance was shown at the Moruya Lions meeting with 48, including Lions Ladies and guests. The guest speaker was Mrs Noreen Sykes, who spoke on Cystic Fibrosis, a disease affecting nine children on the South Coast and three in the Eurobodalla Shire. Following the dinner meeting, the ladies got together and formed a Moruya Ladies Auxiliary, to assist the Lions in their community projects.
