SEASON
hooray, beach
days are here!
Our beaches – is there anywhere better in summer?
If you thought sand in your budgies was bad, think again. A
swim at the beach can quickly turn from heaven to hell if you
don’t play it safe. Rips form quickly and even strong swimmers
can get into trouble. So play it safe. Swim between the flags at
a patrolled beach.
Last summer we had no lives lost at our beaches – thanks to

TUNNEL VISION
Eighteen years ago students from high schools all over
Sutherland Shire poured their creative hearts and souls
into Cronulla’s iconic Tonkin Tunnel, with the murals
they created illuminating the space and capturing the
essence of the Cronulla community.
This summer our next generation of local budding
artists are doing the same. Year nine and ten students
from seven local high schools (pictured) are designing
new artworks to be painted onto the walls and ceilings
of the Tonkin Tunnel. This is part of a seven-week TAFE
course organised by Council and local artist Tim ‘Phibs’
who will be unleashing his own creative talents on a
mural outside the tunnel to compliment the students
work. The new tunnel artwork will be complete by the
end of January 2018.
