Putting the pieces together
The Local Studies Collection at Sutherland Library has an amazing array of materials which contain puzzle pieces to uncover of the stories of our community. It is accessible during all opening hours.
Outside opening hours there is still plenty to see and investigate online via the Local Studies page, of the Sutherland Shire Libraries website.
Interviews with people like Georgette Wall provide an oral history of places and happenings in the district. These oral histories are a great way to gain insight into the societal fabric of earlier times. Interview logs are provided for those who prefer to read than listen. These transcripts are also great for searching for that elusive mention of someone or something.
Cliffhaven was one of Yowie Bay's first stately homes and Georgette was fortunate enough to live on the estate for a period in the 1930's with her father, Harry Cobbold, who helped create, and cared for this spectacular garden framing the view from the front steps of the house.
The Historical Photographs collection has more photographs of this delightful getaway, owned by the Catts, Americans, who used Cliffhaven as their Christmas holiday retreat for 6 weeks each year.
The Catts had Cliffhaven built, by the local stonemasonry firm Ellis & Sons, based at Sutherland. Roy Ellis and brother -in -law Reg Moon did most of the work. Advertisements for these men can be located in the newspapers of the time, via a keyword search of the Sutherland Shire Historical Newspaper index. The newspapers can then be viewed, on film, in the library.
Cliffhaven was a large estate with a caretaker cottage, where Georgette and her father resided. It also had extensive grounds, which at the time extended down to the waters of Yowie Bay at it's juncture with Gymea Bay. This aerial view of the estate taken in 1960, shows its size in comparison with the modern housing blocks of today.
Aerial photography of the Sutherland Shire has been conducted irregularly over the past 75 years and can be viewed on Shire Maps. Look up what your own part of the Shire looked like in 1930.
A search of the library catalogue reveals there is a book written by Merle Kavanagh, Echoes from the Bay: the Yowie Bay story. This title includes the stories of many of the old sandstone homes around the bay as well as a wealth of other information on Yowie Bay's past glories.
Georgette Wall also has written a biography, which is part of the Local Studies collection.
Visit the collection on the second floor of Sutherland Library and look around for a full view of the material available, during opening hours.

Language Matters
Mango Languages and Road to IELTS - Preparation and Practice, are online tools provided to Sutherland Shire Library members.
As Harmony Day is on March 21st, it seemed a perfect opportunity to highlight our language learning tools, along with our special Multicultural Storytimes. (See details below)
When would you use these language learning tools?
Then this is when you would use these online tools.
Mango Languages online offers courses in 57 non-English languages.
and English courses designed for speakers of 17 languages, as well as Latin, Greek - Koine, Ancient Greek and Biblical Hebrew.
Courses can be used on a PC or a Mango App is available for use on tablet or smartphone, Android or Apple devices.
Mango uses real-life situations and actual conversations to more effectively teach a new language. By
listening to and repeating after material designed from native conversations, users not only learn the individual words and phrases, they will know how they're used in practical situations and conversations.
Everyone is asked to create a profile the first time you use it, from then on each time you return you will be asked to login. This allows for your progress through the course(s) to be tracked so you always know where you are up to and how well you are doing. Lessons are divided into short chunks and do not have to be completed in order. They can be skipped through until you find the situation to match your immediate needs.
The International English Language Testing System, Road to IELTS - Preparation and Practise courses come in two levels, General or Academic.
Road to IELTS - General training measures English language proficiency in a practical, everyday context. The tasks and texts reflect both workplace and social situations. It includes 120 hours of work on the essential components of the test, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening and speaking. The program simulates the exam itself.
Road to IELTS - Academic training measures English language proficiency needed for an academic, higher learning environment. The tasks and texts are accessible to all test-takers, irrespective of their subject focus. One of the challenges of IELTS preparation is enabling learners to interpret and describe charts and tables. Road to IELTS - Academic includes a wealth of these graphics and more than 70 exercises. The program includes detailed explanations of each question type in each part of the exam, and tips on how best to tackle the tasks.
The distinction between the Academic version and the General Training version lies in the subject matter of the Reading and Writing components.
To be clear, one cannot sit the test, using these library tools. They are designed to prepare learners for what will be expected in the tests, so learners can sit the tests as well prepared as possible.
