Dreams cancome truefor Mary AnnErin Jones
AN American’s dream to ride acamel, see and touch Uluru, visitAlice Springs and be kissed underthe stars of the Southern Crosswill now come true.
Mary Ann Pawlyshyn from NewMexico has arrived in CentralAustralia for a five-day adventure,after winning the NT Govern-ment’s US Oprah sweepstakescompetition.
The competition ran in Januaryand February and invited en-trants to submit 25 words of whythey wanted to visit the AustralianOutback.
Ms Pawlyshyn arrived in Uluruat the weekend and will visit KingsCanyon and Alice Springs.
Tourism Minister MalarndirriMcCarthy said: ‘‘The competitionwas part of an integrated market-ing campaign using OprahWinfrey’s Ultimate AustralianAdventure to leverage exposure ofthe NT as a premier tourist desti-nation.
‘‘The Territory experienced a 19per cent increase in visitationfrom the US for the year endingJune 2011.
‘‘This increase may be a result ofimproved airline access includingthe commencement of VirginAustralia’s direct flights fromSydney to Uluru and the airline’simproved links between the USAand Australia.
‘‘There is also a heightenedawareness of the NT through thesignificant exposure from Oprah’sUltimate Australian Adventure.’’
Youthfightingcurfewn From Page 1
Members of the 2007Youth Round TableSarah Morris, ClaireRyan and Tara Alex-ander wrote a YouthCurfew Report.
It said: ‘‘Our find-ings indicated that theproposed youth cur-few was not suitable tothe Alice Springs pre-cinct. The curfew wassimply not viable inregards to issues suchas geographical ando p e r a t i o n a l c o n -straints, resource andfunding allocation andgeneral public disap-proval.
‘‘We found that theyouth curfew wouldnot address the im-mediate needs of solv-ing social issues thatcontribute to youthcrime and violence.Not only is the youthcurfew draconian, butalso unnecessary andan infringement onthe rights of youngpeople.’’
Mr Melky and MrHabib-Bitar say theiraim with a curfew is toget children off thestreets so they are safeand to curb anti-socialbehaviour.
Focus turns onour active oldiesErin Jones
Panel chairman Everald Compton and Mental Health and Ageing MinisterMark Butler at their Alice Springs meeting Picture: JUSTIN BRIERTY
THERE are moves to harness theskills and expertise of Australia’sactive elderly citizens.
The proportion of Australians aged65 and over will rise to about 23 percent of the population by 2050, com-pared to 14 per cent today, and theFederal Government wants to startrealising their potential and theirissues now.
It has established an AdvisoryPanel on the Economic Potential ofSenior Australians in the Territory.
The panel, chaired by EveraldCompton, had its first regional meet-ing in Alice Springs last week.
Mr Compton said: ‘‘The big issueswere housing, employment, trainingand medical services. Every commun-ity has problems with all of thosethings, but we’ve had some veryinteresting comments that not onlyapply to Alice Springs but otherregions of Australia, which are veryimportant.’’
Federal Minister for The AgeingMark Butler said: ‘‘These consultat-ions will also help us understand howwe can better support older Austral-ians living in remote and regionalareas and build on existing initiativessuch as Broadband for Seniors andour national health reforms.
‘‘Older Australians are an asset to
the community and this visit willallow the panel to explore the specificcontribution of indigenous elders tothe life of all Australians.
‘‘We want to look at how we cansupport older Australians living in
remote or regional locations to stayinvolved in the community.’’
The panel will submit a report tothe Federal Government on areas ofrecommendation and focus.
