19.01.2022 FROM BOTANY BAY AND CATCHMENT ALLIANCE SAD PASSING OF ONE FOUNDING MEMBER It is sad to report that Jim Towart,(second from the left) our Treasurer, passed away just over a week ago. His funeral is today.... Jim was born at Ivanhoe (Western NSW) and had many jobs and interests. At one stage he worked on the establishment of the enlarged Mascot Airport when the Cooks River course was changed. He was also a Georges River Oyster farmer, working with the Drake Family and knew the Derwents at Neverfail Bay (Oh the stories). He joined Bob Walshe in forming the Sutherland Shire Environment Centre and worked with the Dunphy organisation on the wider environmental movement. When Botany Bay and Catchment Alliance was formed, Jim and Narelle became involved and continued. He knew all the heroes of the catchment and knew many of the BIG answers to the catchment problems. He was also a member of the Sydney Catchment Management Authority. He enjoyed our monthly meetings and especially when we moved around the catchment to places along Cooks River, La Perouse, Kurnell, Casula Powerhouse, Cabramatta, and even to Dharawal National Parl ae Weatherburn and Madden's Falls. We were all very proud when the State Liberal Government (through the Member for Oatley Masrk Coure), proclaimed the long awaited Dharawal National Park and joined Minister, Robyn Parker for it's formal opening. In later years with health in decline, he continues to meet and had phone conversations with our Chair. We are sad that Jim is no longer with us. We rejoice that we have known him. We are leased that he is at peace at last. To Narelle and and her family we share and express our love and compassion
