No swimming! Swimming is so loved in Australia whether at the beach, in a river or a pool but there was a time when swimming in the sea during the day was banned – driven mostly by morality concerns. The ban was in place in NSW between 1838 and 1902. Originally only banned in select areas around Sydney Cove it was extended to those parts of the state that had been incorporated into municipalities, such as Manly Council. There were beaches where swimming was allowed but if you strayed into a prohibited beach area you faced a fine from the Inspector of Nuisances, a man whose duties also included catching runaway pigs and horses. In 1902 William Gocher, the owner of the Manly and North Sydney News, announced in his paper that he intended to defy the ban and swim during the day. Unfortunately for him hardly anyone took notice, including the police. Gocher repeated his stunt again without attracting attention. In exasperation he went to the police and told them his plans. The police were not very interested. Many locals had been ignoring the ban for some time and the police turned a blind eye having more pressing matters to look after. Randwick Council in Sydney lifted the ban on daylight swimming at Clovelly as it thought allowing people to bathe in the sea would help conserve water in a drought. With the weight of public interest in swimming in the surf other councils followed suit, though some took their time. As late as 1920 the Sutherland Shire Council took Herbert George Erickson to court for reclining on the sand at Cronulla Beach wearing only his swimmers. ... See MoreSee Less
There’s a little shop near the Cooroy BP service station that has been quietly selling handcrafted bagels for the past year. It’s owned by Nikki Bezel and is called Bezel’s Bagels. Nikki has built a loyal following at Eumundi Markets where he sells his bagels every Wednesday and Saturday. After starting three years ago at the Pomona Farmer's Market selling 150 bagels a week, he now sells around 1,800 a week! The Bezel Bagel family includes the cinnamon crunch bagel (with cinnamon, lemon and orange zest), a jalapeño bagel to get your taste buds firing and bagels with sesame seeds, poppy seeds, rye, plain or the lot. Nikki is a Canadian chef with substantial baking experience who worked in North and South America before settling in Cooran and then Cooroy. With time on his hands during Covid he became obsessed with bagels, recalling his childhood where bagels featured prominently. He allows three days for fermenting the mix and then shapes, boils and bakes the bagels. It’s a labour-intensive process that he loves, especially when people express their surprise at how chewy the bagels are on the outside but soft on the inside. “The Original Eumundi Markets has been very supportive and a great testing ground for our products,” said Nikki. Keep an eye on his FB page for future plans. Bezel’s Bagels is at 24 Cedar St, Cooroy and open from 10am-3.30pm on Tuesday and Friday. ... See MoreSee Less
