* Story behind any Nickname: Beef Man = ?
In 2022 Nick contracted Bacterial Meningitis which brought on a couple of strokes and then a heart attack.
Nick, despite being on the cusp of death, managed to rally and came good.
With the aid of rehabilitation for months, he was able to return to work in an administrative role.
Unfortunately his brain was not functioning correctly and he had to take ‘sick leave’ again.
Although he was still on the ‘roster’, he was not able to physically return to VKG for months – leading up to his untimely, and young, death.
Nick, from all accounts, was a great guy, highly intelligent, always the gesture and far too young.
He died in his sleep and looked as though he was simply taking a nap.
Forever – Rest In Peace.

A BANORA Point resident fears Lake Kimberley will flood homes this week if heavy rain keeps falling.

A BANORA Point resident fears Lake Kimberley will flood homes this week if heavy rain keeps falling.
Rising water at the lake has submerged a nearby footpath and was approaching nearby houses.
Former police officer Jim Sunter, 83, said he had noticed water levels were above average since heavy rain began last week.
“I’m concerned for a lot of the local residents. Most of them are pensioners and wouldn’t fare well if the water in the lake went any higher,” Mr Sunter said.
“It doesn’t seem to be draining anywhere.”
Mr Sunter said the lake flooded nearby houses about three years ago.
“I’ve spoken to a lot of residents and they’re worried about it.
“If it keeps raining, I think it will flood,” he said.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Tweed Heads received 127mm of rain in the 24 hours to 9am yesterday.
Cloudy conditions and more showers are predicted for later this week.
A spokesman for the RTA, which is working on the nearby Banora Point Pacific Highway upgrade and drainage system for the lake, said the project team was monitoring the rising water levels.
“We’ve put several measures in place to ensure any impact from the heavy rainfall is minimised,” the spokesman said.
“The gates are open and working to ensure that water flows freely, there are four pumps running continuously and pumping excess water through the site and additionally, two bypass pipes have been installed.”
HIS Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has approved of the following appointment:—
Senior Constable James Malcolm Sunter to act as Assistant District Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages for the District of The Barwon, at Goodooga, during the absence on annual leave of Senior Constable Charles Vincent Parsons, — from 2nd January, 1966.

The Governor-General, Sir Zelman Cowen, announced yesterday that the Queen had approved 16 bravery awards for Australians.
Mr Nelson is the only recipient of the Star of Courage.
Four people have won the Bravery Medal and 11 will receive the Commendation for Brave Conduct.
Winners of the Bravery Medal are Sergeant Third-Class Brian Carson, NSW Police, Chief Inspector Stanley Dawson, South Australian Police, Able Seaman Anthony McLeod, HMAS Albatross, Nowra, and Mr Daryl Streets, Penguin, Tasmania.
Sergeant Carson attended an accident at Faulconbridge, NSW, in November last year in which a car had come to rest on a railway line.
Ambulance officers had placed an injured person on a stretcher on an adjoining line. As a train approached Sergeant Carson rushed in front of it and lifted the injured person from the stretcher to safety.

NSW Police Cadets arriving at the Redfern Police Academy via the Stable entrance in 1945
NSW Police Cadet reunion – 1961
* Story behind any Nickname:
On the 13 May, 1983, a meeting was held to propose the establishment of a police museum in police premises in Phillip Street, Sydney. The museum was to be a joint project between the Police Department and the Justice Department. While the emphasis
of the museum at this stage was on the police, Mr. Watkins of the Justice Department requested that the museum be referred to as the Police Justice Historical Museum. The committee resolved to write to the Treasury and the Premier’s Department requesting that a representative from Treasury be appointed to the committee and Mr. P. Bickerstaff was appointed as Treasury’s representative on the committee. The committee held another meeting on the 17 June, 1983. The committee members now consisted of, Inspector G.B. Stone, Police Public Relations Branch. L.F. Vineburg, Secretary of the Police Department. P. Bickerstaff, Treasury. R. Hammond, Police Public Relations Branch. L. Haroldson, Department of Attorney General and of Justice. J. Parker-Smith, Police Public Relations Branch. A. Race, Police Properties Branch. I. Sansom, Public Works Department and Mr. Watkins, Department of Attorney General and of Justice.
Mrs. M.E. Smidt, Executive Officer, Police Department, also attended the meeting. I. Sansom, of the Public Works Department had replaced Mr. L. Glendenning. F. Saillard, Chairman of the NSW Police Historical Society, was invited to represent the Society and was appointed to the committee in July, 1983. As the years went by, committee members would change and Deputy Commissioner Barney Ross also eventually served on the committee.
A letter was sent to the Public Service Board on the 28 June, 1983, advising that the police museum committee had been formed. The Attorney General also wrote to the Acting Premier outlining the proposal to establish the Police Justice Historical Museum in the Phillip Street police buildings. The proposal affected the existing police station, the Court complex and the building which accommodated the Health Department’s STD (sexually transmitted diseases) clinic. The premises were used as a Water Police Court in 1856, Water Police Station in 1858 and a Police Court in 1886. It was proposed that the Police Band and the Crime Prevention Unit would occupy the Health Department building when the STD clinic was relocated. The Police Pipe Band and the Police Choir were also considered as suitable occupiers of the complex. But there was a concern that musical rehearsals would disrupt court proceedings. The Police Pipe Band was formed in 1946, on approval by Commissioner of Police William MacKay and the Police Choir was formed in the 1930s.
Bicentennial funding was being sought from the Federal Government to finance the building works and a submission was presented to the Bicentennial Authority. On the 21 st June, 1984, the Premier’s Department wrote to the Attorney General’s Department confirming that the Police Justice Museum was included on the schedule of Bicentennial projects and was seeking confirmation that the project was going to proceed.
In January, 1984, it was estimated that the project would cost over $4 million, which included $917,000 for the court house, $1,300,000 for the police station and $2,666,000 for the STD clinic. The project was expected to take at least 2 years.
In 1984, Chief Superintendent Col Joyce, who was Vice Chairman of the New South Wales Region of the International Police Association (IPA), wrote to the museum committee asking if the IPA could be accommodated in the police museum complex. The IPA was after an office to undertake administrative work, a room for holding IPA meetings, an area to exhibit police memorabilia and access to an area where functions could be held. At the museum committee meeting held on the 5 July, 1984, it was resolved to write to the IPA and advise that the IPA’s request would be considered before finalisation of the plans for the police museum complex. The NSW Police Historical Society also wanted to be accommodated in the building, as did some other organizations that were not really police orientated. The committee also received a proposal from Phillip Ballantine-Jones who was seeking a franchise to run a police museum in the Phillip Street complex as a tourist activity. It was considered that the Ballantine-Jones proposal was not in line with what the Police Department proposed.

The 27th day of May, 1966
BY virtue of the authority vested in me by the District Courts Act, 1912 – 1955 (as amended) I hereby appoint Sergeant Colin Patrick Joyce as Bailiff of the District Court holden at Bourke for a period of three months during the absence of Mr McKenzie.
The following transfers of police in the North-eastern Division have been notified:- Constables C. P. Joyce,Wauchope to Clarence-street, Sydney; M. P. Byrnes, Clarence-street to Wauchope; A. C. Newport, Tarcutta to West Kempsey; J. A. McDonald, Regent-street to Muswellbrook: G. R. Campbell, Gosford to Tamworth; K. A. Rhodes, Tamworth to Gosford; W. T. Coombes, Newcastle to Phillip-street, Sydney.
At Wauchope Court House on July 3 Mr. James Wallace, District Coroner held an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the death of Mr. Isaac McLeod, aged 79 years, and returned a finding that deceased met his death on 9th June when he was accidentally drowned at McLennan’s Falls, whilst endeavouring to cross the Hastings River.
Dr. William Begg, Government Medical Officer at Wauchope, said: On 13th June, 1950, I viewed the body of the deceased Isaac McLeod on the river bank at Gannon’s Creek, 11 miles west of Wauchope. The body was that of a man about 70 years of age, was well nourished, and there were no marks of external violence further than could be expected from drifting down the river for a mile and a half. I would say the body had the appearance of being in the water for three or four days and in my opinion I would say, from the external examination, that death was due to drowning.
Henry Reuben McLeod, carrier of Dungay Creek, via Kempsey; stated: I am son of the deceased Isaac McLEOD, and the last time I saw him alive was about three months ago in Sydney and he was then in good health. He was in the habit of travelling about the country in a horse-drawn caravan and when I last heard of him he was at Woolbrook, near Tamworth. I knew he was going to travel through to Kempsey. On 13th June, 1950, I identified my father’s body after it had been recovered from the Hastings River at Gannon’s Creek, about 11 miles west of Wauchope. I identified the caravan and the property with it as my father’s. My father left a will of which I am one of the executors. He did not, as far as I know have any life insurance.
John Francis Royan, farmer, of Gannon’s Creek deposed: On the 9th June, 1950, at about 9.50 a.m. an elderly man driving a horse-drawn caravan called at my home. He remained there for about half an hour. He asked was it safe to cross the river and I had a look at it from the bank above. It seemed quite safe to cross. I asked him if he had a reliable horse, and he told me that wherever his horse could put its feet it could go. He then started off towards the river. That was the last I saw of that man. The following morning I was informed that the horse and van was in the river. I went down noticed the horse and caravan in deep water about 70 yards below the crossing. I noticed the tracks of the caravan leading to the water where the recognised crossing was, and where I directed him to cross. At the time I was speaking to the deceased he appeared to be in good health and spirits. I am familiar with this crossing where the deceased attempted to cross. At the deepest it would be about three feet deep and it is about 50 yards wide. The bottom of the crossing consists of gravel and round, water-washed, slippery stones. I would say that the crossing would be quite safe for a horse that was used to water. I have found that some horses are frightened when they get into water and they would fight back. In my opinion the horse must have become unmanageable and the reins must have come out of his hands, or got caught, which caused the horse to head downstream into the deeper water. I would say that a man would naturally try and get out and go to the horse’s head in a case like that. I saw the body after it had been removed from the water. It was the body of the man who called at my house on 9th June. I was present when the body was moved from the water and knew that it was Isaac McLeod.
Constable Colin Patrick Joyce, of Wauchope Police, stated: On June 13, 1950, I was present at Gannon’s Creek when the body of Isaac McLeod was removed from the waters of the Hastings River. I remained with the body until his son, Henry Reuben McLeod, identified the body as that of Isaac McLeod his father. The doctor and Coroner then arrived and viewed the body. I took possession of the property found on the deceased and brought it to Wauchope Police Station. I could not see any marks of violence on the body.
George Caelli, timber worker, of Gannon’s Creek, said: On 13th June, 1950, I was pulling a boat up the Hastings River about a mile and a half below McLennan’s Falls which is about 11 miles west of Wauchope. I noticed the body of a man caught on the limb of a tree a few feet under the surface of the water. I then went and notified Constable Joyce. — ‘Hasting’s Gazette.’
IMPOSITION CHARGE ” Although I am dismissing this charge against you this time, I will show you no mercy if you come be fore me on a similar charge,” Mr. R. A. Hardicke, S.M., warned Francis Alexander Grant.
Grant was charged with unlawfully imposing on Constable Colin Patrick Joyce, of Newcastle police, by falsely representing that the proceeds of a book he was selling would be devoted to the Totally and Permanently Disabled Soldiers’ Fund.
On a second charge of offensive behavior ( sic ) he was fined £5.
” As you claim to be a partly incapacitated soldier yourself, your offence was mean and dispicable ( sic ),” Mr. Hardwicke continued. ” By using the unselfish record of those men, who have devoted the greater part of their lives to helping returned soldiers who are unable to help themselves, you sold books for your own gain,” the magistrate told Grant.
” I am a digger myself,” Grant replied. ” I receive a pension and I have T.B.”
” I saw no harm in what I was doing, but was trying to raise a little extra money before going back to Yaralla for treatment,” he added.
Constable J. W. Fairfull ( # 5422 ), ‘who arrested Grant, said that Newcastle R.S.L. Council was concerned at the unlawful sales of these books, as genuine collectors were received with distrust.
When arrested, Constable Fairfull said, Grant asked ” for a break ” as he was only trying to earn an ” honest bob.”
