25.01.2022 Some useful information I found shared by a friend. Worth a read That bite of summer has well and truly come early this year and with that heat, comes snakes. ...This article was written by Rob Timmings Rob runs a medical/nursing education business Teaching nurses, doctors and paramedics. It’s well worth the read #ECT4Health 3000 bites are reported annually. 300-500 hospitalisations 2-3 deaths annually. Average time to death is 12 hours. The urban myth that you are bitten in the yard and die before you can walk from your chook pen back to the house is a load of rubbish. While not new, the management of snake bite (like a flood/fire evacuation plan or CPR) should be refreshed each season. Let’s start with a Basic overview. There are five genus of snakes that will harm us (seriously) Browns, Blacks, Adders, Tigers and Taipans. All snake venom is made up of huge proteins (like egg white). When bitten, a snake injects some venom into the meat of your limb (NOT into your blood). This venom can not be absorbed into the blood stream from the bite site. It travels in a fluid transport system in your body called the lymphatic system (not the blood stream). Now this fluid (lymph) is moved differently to blood. Your heart pumps blood around, so even when you are lying dead still, your blood still circulates around the body. Lymph fluid is different. It moves around with physical muscle movement like bending your arm, bending knees, wriggling fingers and toes, walking/exercise etc. Now here is the thing. Lymph fluid becomes blood after these lymph vessels converge to form one of two large vessels (lymphatic trunks)which are connected to veins at the base of the neck. Back to the snake bite site. When bitten, the venom has been injected into this lymph fluid (which makes up the bulk of the water in your tissues). The only way that the venom can get into your blood stream is to be moved from the bite site in the lymphatic vessels. The only way to do this is to physically move the limbs that were bitten. Stay still!!! Venom can’t move if the victim doesn’t move. Stay still!! Remember people are not bitten into their blood stream. In the 1980s a technique called Pressure immobilisation bandaging was developed to further retard venom movement. It completely stops venom /lymph transport toward the blood stream. A firm roll bandage is applied directly over the bite site (don’t wash the area). Technique: Three steps: keep them still Step 1 Apply a bandage over the bite site, to an area about 10cm above and below the bite. Step 2: Then using another elastic roller bandage, apply a firm wrap from Fingers/toes all the way to the armpit/groin. The bandage needs to be firm, but not so tight that it causes fingers or toes to turn purple or white. About the tension of a sprain bandage. Step 3: Splint the limb so the patient can’t walk or bend the limb. Do nots: Do not cut, incise or suck the venom. Do not EVER use a tourniquet Don’t remove the shirt or pants - just bandage over the top of clothing. Remember movement (like wriggling out of a shirt or pants) causes venom movement. DO NOT try to catch, kill or identify the snake!!! This is important. In hospital we NO LONGER NEED to know the type of snake; it doesn’t change treatment. 5 years ago we would do a test on the bite, blood or urine to identify the snake so the correct anti venom can be used. BUT NOW... we don’t do this. Our new Antivenom neutralises the venoms of all the 5 listed snake genus, so it doesn’t matter what snake bit the patient. Read that again- one injection for all snakes! Polyvalent is our one shot wonder, stocked in all hospitals, so most hospitals no longer stock specific Antivenins. Australian snakes tend to have 3 main effects in differing degrees. Bleeding - internally and bruising. Muscles paralysed causing difficulty talking, moving & breathing. Pain In some snakes severe muscle pain in the limb, and days later the bite site can break down forming a nasty wound. Allergy to snakes is rarer than winning lotto twice. Final tips: not all bitten people are envenomated and only those starting to show symptoms above are given antivenom. Did I mention to stay still. ~Rob Timmings Kingston/Robe Health Advisory #vrarescue #snakebite

22.01.2022 We are very happy to report that you guys have once again donated significant funds to the Merimbula RFS through our donation tins. With Covid, the only tin actually active is at the coffee shack so the $600 handed to the RFS yesterday is amazing. Well done everyone.

22.01.2022 Tomorrow Sunday, we will be at the Bega gymkhana under the bridge from 8 am and later from 5 pm we will be serving pizza at the Eden Beachside caravan park

21.01.2022 Once again, congratulations to all on raising more money for Social Justice Advocates. We passed over a further $200 making the progressive total now $1000. Speaking with Mick Brosnan yesterday he was most appreciative and noted that the money will go directly to renovating a caravan donated by someone in Sydney. It is due to arrive here shortly. This is a great achievement and came from just one of the two donation tins we are currently operating. Thanks guys ,great result

20.01.2022 We will remember them ...

17.01.2022 Wow what a wild day for our first outing with the new pizza business. The weather was challenging early with drizzle and light wind. That developed into strong wind but at least the rain stopped. For most of the morning it was a battle to keep the toppings on the pizza base when building the pizza and trying to get them into the oven. Thanks to all our custoners who gave us good positive feedback. Our homemade ovens performed really well. The wind was strong enough to snap a flag pole and blow the till off the table. Remarkably it landed right side up. A big thank you to our staff with their performance under extremely difficult conditions.

15.01.2022 We have just been advised by Pambula Rotary that they have had to take the decision to CANCEL PAMBULA MARKET THIS COMING SUNDAY. a shame but these are the times we live in now. Hopefully better news next month. At this stage Merimbula is still on 20/9/20

14.01.2022 Don’t forget Merimbula Market is on tomorrow 15th Nov. I will be there with the van. See you tomorrowDon’t forget Merimbula Market is on tomorrow 15th Nov. I will be there with the van. See you tomorrow

11.01.2022 I was lucky enough to taste the vegetarian pizza at Merimbula Beach CP last night and it was delicious. Fresh ingredients, juicy... tasted as good as it looked. Highly recommended 10/10

11.01.2022 Looking forward to tonight's pizza event at Eden Beachfront caravan park. We have just added a $1200 dough mixer to our equipment. This allows us to mix our own doughs at the optimum time to allow proving. Because we cook 18" pizza our bases use 900 g of dough each, double the normal 13" base. We are also making our own cottage cheese from the same Norco speciality full cream milk we use for our coffees

08.01.2022 In the NCCG's latest blog Dianne McKissock OAM, discusses 'Grief after Suicide'. "Thursday the 10th of September is World Suicide Prevention Day. As our communi...ty focuses attention on suicide and its impact on families, schools, our nation and the rest of the world, it seems to me to be an appropriate time for all of us to think about our personal responses."
