LETTER FROM THE CEO
WELCOME ABOARD
The old adage ‘from little acorns big trees grow’ is as true today as ever. Every great idea has to start somewhere and like all great ideas, once the ball gets rolling, the result often takes us by surprise! That has been the case with our rst issue of Skytrans In ight magazine.
As in all things at Skytrans, our focus is on you, our customer and continuing to provide a level of service over and above what you might expect, as you y across the stunning landscapes and compelling seascapes of remote and rural Far North Queensland.To this end, we welcome you to our rst edition and believe that you will be delighted with the articles and photos that showcase the many and varied communities we service, and the amazing people we meet along the way!
We are excited to be sharing stories and anecdotes from people who are quite possibly your friends and neighbours and thank our advertisers, who not only y with us, but service our beautiful Cape and Torres Strait. It’s what makes this a unique and interesting read, and we invite you to join us on our journey.
Enjoy your ight and we hope to see you again soon!
MICHAEL NORMAN WITH MUD CRAB
The Pormpuraaw Arts and Cultural Centre Incorporated stands out as a driving force in Aboriginal art from Cape York. It is a place for community members to develop art and culture and is a safe place to come, be brave and to experiment. However, the Art Centre is much more than workshops, where people make art. My sense is the process is working when I see an artist making art and others are watching, discussing and sharing observations of the work in progress. An artist develops his or her work, and also develops personally, at the same time.
A genuine artist values the process of ‘making’ above everything, with each art work being a stepping stone for future works. My favourite collector is the one that purchases an art work because he or she feels and experiences the work and responds personally to the form and content. Buying Aboriginal art is acquiring a piece of cultural identity. Pormpuraaw people have no word for art in their language. Country, language, culture and art are identi ed together as one entity. European culture on the other hand, seeks always to quantify and qualify art as a separate thing.

ART DEVELOPMENT AND
Over the last few years, Pormpuraaw has been very successful in exhibiting and selling art in Europe and the USA. Their ghost net sculptures of sh totems have attracted national and international attention and have become the Australian symbol for the world wide initiative launched by the United Nations, ‘Defending The Oceans’. Pormpuraaw Artists displayed 17 works at the United Nations building in Manhattan New York City as part of the ‘World Ocean Conference’. Three of these works were rst displayed at the Oceanic Institute of Monaco, followed by a show of 28 works at the Paris Aquarium for four months. This show will move to the United Nations and University of Geneva later this year before travelling to the Kluge- Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of the University of Virginia where it will be the largest collection of Aboriginal Art in the USA. Three works will also soon be displayed at the Parliament building in Canberra.
Being made of ghost nets creates awareness of important environmental issues that affect all of us. Ghost nets are commercial shing nets dumped illegally over the side of boats. These nets oat on the currents continuing to catch and kill sh or other sea animals like turtles or whales without reason. Pormpuraaw artists have found a unique and special place in the world of art; they take something ugly and make something beautiful and meaningful out of it.
Pormpuraaw artists believe that a work of art made in country is part of that country. When it goes to another place, part of their country is leaving too. In a way, it is like the work of art is ‘going walk about’, will be discovered and nd its place. I believe good art will stand out and nd purpose. Our success belongs to all of us in our community and the region.

APUNIPIMA BIO
PAGE 8
In 1994, at Pajinka Wilderness Lodge, near Injinoo at the tip of Cape York, elders and traditional ownersfromthe17CapeYork communities came together at a Land and Health summit to address concerns about the poor health status of Cape York Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. As a result, Apunipima was conceived and was of cially established on 14 September 1994 as a health advocacy organisation, mandated to inform theCapeYorkLandCounciland the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Regional Council about health issues on Cape York.
Today, Apunipima is one of the largest community- controlled health organisations in Queensland. With over 200 staff, Apunipima delivers comprehensive primary health care services to 11 Cape York communities. Fifty percent
of our workforce identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and thirty percent are community-based employees. This service employs Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health practitioners, health workers, outreach midwives, podiatrists, audiologists, physiotherapists, dietitians and nutritionists, diabetes nurse educators, paediatricians and GPs.
In the 23 years since we were established, Apunipima has improved health outcomes for the people on the Cape – from reducing the gap on life expectancy to dramatic improvements in infant mortality. Apunipima’svisionofCapeYork people living long, healthy and happy lives remains strong and we are committed to expanding and enhancing our services to deliver wellness improvement across the Cape.
Deadly Diabetes Care in Coen
Apunipima’s Coen team members Chronic Disease Health Worker Kaylene Coleman and Nurse Practitioner Shona Lynch gained their QAAMS Certi cates of Training and Competency in Point of Care Testing for people with or at risk of diabetes.
The Quality Assurance for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Medical Services pathology program (QAAMS) point of care testing uses a portable machine to provide point of care testing for HbA1c (a person’s blood sugar levels over a period of time). The Point of Care test is completed in six minutes which allows the client to receive the result at the time of consultation
Together with Dr Baz Gadhvi, Kaylene and Shona were able to provide outreach clinical care to Coen community members and provide their HbA1c results in six minutes.
Wik Warriors MenS
Group, Aurukun
Apunipima Team Leader Ross Mitchell is supporting the Wik Warriors Men’s Group in Aurukun.
The Group met on Wednesday at Apunipima’s Aurukun Wellbeing Centre for good times, healthy tucker and health checks.
“The Wik Warriors Men’s Group is a place where men can come and share what’s going on with us men and younger generation, where we can be heard and not judged” Ross said.
“Just by attending, sharing and listening we will be helping us men to heal and grow stronger spiritually, emotionally together.’
‘Us as men we want community change and we have to work harder to close the gap. We’ve got to stop walking backwards and start walking forwards hand in hand as community members, leaders, and warriors to teach our younger generation the importance of keeping language, culture, dance, our community and continuity to country alive and strong.”
“The Aurukun Wik Warriors Men’s Group is designed to empower men to take greater control and responsibility for their health and social emotional wellbeing” Ross said.
“We will provide health, education sessions, and diversionary programs for men facing criminal charges, cultural activities, drug alcohol - free social programs and events led by community with our community men’s focus in mind.
Empowerment needs to be addressed by community in order to ensure effective, integrated and sustainable improvements in health and wellbeing.”


#DrinkMoreWaterYouf la
IT'S GOOD FOR our HEALTH!
These activities were supported by Tackling Indigenous Smoking Health Worker, Josh Mene who also yarned with people about what smoking can do to your teeth and mouth.
The winners of the Napranum art competition, chosen by Mayor Rex Burke, were announced at the Napranum NAIDOC celebrations on Friday 18 August.
Apunipima participated in a range of community activities during August to celebrate Dental Health Week (7-13 August) and community NAIDOC events.
Apunipima staff visited communities to talk about the link between sugary drinks and tooth decay, and to promote Apunipima’s #SugaryDrinksProperNoGood and #DrinkMoreWaterYou a social media campaign, which aims to reduce sugary drink consumption among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Cape York.
Apunipima staff ran activities with young people and held health information stalls in Weipa, Napranum and Mapoon to promote the campaign messages. “Our team ran a workshop for Western Cape College secondary students at Weipa Residential Campus” Health Promotion Project Of cer Kiarah Cuthbert said.
“We talked to young people about the amount of sugar in popular drinks, such as soft drinks, sports drinks and energy drinks and the impact of that sugar on our teeth and overall health.”
“From there, we headed to Mapoon to spend time at the primary school yarning with kids about the sugar in drinks” said Community Nutrition Project Of cer Tiffany Williams “We also invited the kids to take part in a local art competition with the winner’s work being used to promote the #DrinkMoreWaterYou a message in Mapoon”
Apunipima staff held a health information stall at Napranum store and ran an afterschool activity at Napranum Police Citizens Youth Club, where young people had the chance to take part in a local art competition to promote the #DrinkMoreWaterYoufla message.
WHAT’S YOUR STORY CAPE YORK?
Apunipima held a health information stall at the event which included a display showing people how much sugar
there is in popular drinks like soft drink, cordial and juice.
The winners for Mapoon were chosen by an elected member of Council, and announced
at Western Cape College – Mapoon Campus on Thursday 31 August. These artworks will be displayed around Napranum and Mapoon over the coming months.
Apunipima Cape York Health Council is one of the largest Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations in Queensland, delivering comprehensive primary health care service to 11 Cape York communities:
newspapers, and community events and activities, including a school-based education program.

The Apunipima TIS school- based program aims to empower students with knowledge and awareness of the harms of smoking and passive smoking to make healthier choices for themselves, their families and communities, especially in relation to choosing a smoke- free lifestyle. The program also involves students developing resources for the local ‘Don’t Make Smokes Your Story’ campaign.
The Apunipima
Indigenous Smoking program aims to improve the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Cape York by reducing the harm caused by tobacco by providing prevention and quit support services across the region. The program has a focus on young people, pregnant women and people with chronic disease.
TIS staff have been engaging with community members to create a local version of the national Don’t Make Smokes Your Story media campaign. The local campaign includes community messages and artworks for posters, and videos where local people share their stories. Campaign resources are promoted on the radio, NITV,

AVCHAT
Hello and welcome to Avchat!
Avchat will look at different aspects of aviation each quarter which will inform and entertain you along the way. In this rst edition we will look at the history of aviation in the region with Cairns at it’s heart.
Aviation in the Cape and Torres Strait is almost as old as aviation itself. No sooner had the Wright brothers taken to the air, it was clear to see that aviation was to be a game changer. All of a sudden, inaccessible regions of the world, were opened up. Tom MacDonald was the pioneer of aviation in Cairns, ying a de Havilland Gypsy Moth from a sand ridge near the location of the current airport. He had to time his movements based on local tides. This was as early as 1928.
Over time, communities that were isolated in the extreme, gained greater access to the rest of Australia and beyond. Air transport to the Cape and the Torres Strait took off from the nearest regional centre, Cairns. In 1934, the people of Cairns started raising money to build an airport where aircraft were able to take off off and at all times, particularly in times of emergency. In 1936 The Cairns

CAIRNS AIRPORT
City Council bought 162 hectares of land and built three runways made of cinders, red earth, weathered rock and sand. This is the site of the modern Airport today. During WWII, the Cairns air eld was a major hub for both RAAF and USAF aircraft. The photo above shows Cairns Airport in 1942 from 10,000ft.
CAIRNS FIRST AIRPORT TERMINAL
HORN ISLAND AIRPORT
Horn Island Airport was originally constructed by the USAF prior to WWII. Cape York played a major part in the Air Defence of Australia during WWII. The USAF also had Higgins Field which is now the site of the modern day NPA (Bamaga) airport. There are numerous wrecks of WWII aircraft in the region.
Aviation over the years has grown into a major part the supply chain to both the Cape and Torres Strait. Today Cairns, through its many carriers, supports and supplies the growing needs of the Region both moving people and of course vital freight. It is also the growing hub for Skytrans Airlines.

INFLIGHT HEALTH
Pressurisation
• Provides a satisfactory quantity of atmospheric oxygen without the occupants having to resort to using bottled oxygen.
Each time you hop on an aeroplane you are subjecting your body to great strain, forcing it to adapt to unnatural conditions and you probably don’t even know it. A pressurised aircraft is an arti cial environment.
• Keeps the air pressure at a level whereby the body gases are not greatly altered or affected.
High altitude ight is desirable for a number of reasons:
• Aircraft are more fuel ef cient at higher
Effect on your ears
altitudes.
• Flight is generally more comfortable since
The air pressure inside the middle ear will be the same as at the commencement of the ight. However, as the aircraft climbs, the cabin pressure deceases and the air pressure in the ear, being higher than that of the climbing cabin, will tend to equalise by escaping down the Eustachian tube (people are usually unaware this has happened). Effects can be very painful and sometimes quite debilitating.
If a passenger has a problem with blocked ears on ascent they will be worse on descent.
the aircraft is above most clouds and turbulence.
Consequently, passengers and crew spend the majority of time at cruise altitude, within the physiological de cient zone. The atmosphere becomes less dense as altitude increases; therefore a pressurisation system is necessary to ensure the air in the cabin contains enough oxygen to sustain life without the occupants having to wear oxygen masks. In simple terms, an aircraft is a sealed capsule that is pumped up with air supplied from the engines by the pressurisation system, in much the same way as a balloon is pumped up.
The air coming from the engines is very hot; therefore it is cooled by the air conditioning system before being pumped into the cabin. The relative pressure and density of the air in the cabin is increased to a level that:
Our Cabin Service Manager Jen Willison ready to service the Cape at Cairns Airport
Trapped Gases
During ascent and descent, gas expands or contracts in certain body cavities. A person’s inability to equalise with pressure changes may cause abdominal pain, toothache or pain in the ear or sinuses. These areas can withstand enormous changes in barometric pressure as long as the air pressures within these body cavities are equalised with the pressure surrounding them. When gases in these cavities can’t equalise with the ambient environment, the gas is considered to be ‘trapped’.

TiTre
The Kickarts exhibition held in Cairns each July, runs as part of the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair (CIAF) satellite program. However, this is the rst year women of Aurukun have told their story.
This year, Ngan Aurukun Wanch Aak Puul Ngantan Yumpenan (We are Aurukun women making the stories of our country) featured 12 artworks including stunning paintings by senior artist Jean Walmbeng and emerging artists Bettina Pootchemunka, Flora Woolla, Georgina Keppel, Francesca Walmbeng and Sheryl Panulkan. Aurukun Shire Council Mayor
paintings which was featured on the Indigenous Art Centre Alliance wall at KickArts.
Mayor Walpo said “the Women’s Art Centre was named after Akay Koo’oila who was born on 1 July, 1923 in Aurukun, and lived there until she passed away in 2014 aged 91, the oldest community member at the time.”
“From the Apalech Nation, Akay spent extended periods at Ti-Tree Outstation with her husband and three children and loved going out shing and gathering,” he said.
“The love and memories of Ti-Tree Outstation are re ected in Akay’s paintings which were produced during the latter time of her life when even with failing eyesight she continued to paint.”
“Her works represent her own individual dynamic perspective – a vivid representation of her country and the well-acknowledged abundance and variety of bush foods.”
STORY AND PHOTOS BY AURUKUN SHIRE COUNCIL
Dereck Walpo said it was the rst exhibition, in many years, by the women of the Akay Koo’oila Women’s Art Centre, which is part of Aurukun’s
Wik and Kugu Art Centre.
“These ladies have produced some remarkable work that shows the extraordinary beauty of their country around Aurukun,” he said.
Artist Georgina Keppel’s painting Miy Korth - Lily (2017), expressed a memory of water lilies from her childhood when she holidayed at Meripah Station near Coen, where her father worked.
“I used to swim in the lagoons and collect lilies called miy korth. They have a round root which we would collect and dry in the sun. We would cook them in the ashes and eat them,” Ms Keppel said.“The design of the painting has been handed down by my mum Enid, from the Winchanum clan, who passed away a long time ago.”
Coinciding with the exhibition was the launch of the catalogue of the late Akay Koo’olia’s

Garry Namponan and Dogs, Photo By Kerry Trapnell
Aurukun’s Wik and Kugu artists presented the public with a unique opportunity to watch them create the sculptures which have been exciting the art world, during the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair in July. They were able to demonstrate their carving skills with their famous camp dogs, called ku, which is a totem for everyone in Aurukun.
AURUKUN CARVERS AT CIAF 2017
Garry Namponan’s art has featured in many exhibitions, since 2002. Namponan is a member of the Wik-Alkan and Wik-Ngatharr people and comes from a family of artists in the Cape Keerweer region south of Aurukun. The eldest of nine children, Garry learnt much from his artist father and mentor, Angus Namponan (1930-94) as well as studying art at the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education in the Northern Territory. He is an accomplished artist, who works across a variety of media, including sculpture, carving, metal casting, printmaking, illustration and painting.
Namponan is a master carver of the ku, but is renowned for his carvings of birds, particularly the sea eagle (revered in the Aurukun community for its beauty and strength), and the brolga, which was the artist’s maternal grandmother’s totem. In recent years, he has been involved in a number of projects which have broadened the scope of his art.
In 2002 he was one of nine artists from Aurukun to present an exhibition of cast metal sculpture for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting held on the Sunshine Coast. In 2003 the artist worked with Urban Art Projects on a number of commissions, and in August 2003 one of Namponan’s cast metal sculptures was installed at West eld, North Lakes, Brisbane. The sculpture, entitled `Punchiy kor’, consists of turtles and brolgas, and is one of the rst major public art installations by an Indigenous person to be fully funded by a private organisation.
When asked for his view on art his response was:
“Art making has always been a part of my life. I like it a lot. Because my dad was a painter and carver too. I learnt from him. I will always be a painter and a carver”.
The exhibiting artists at CIAF this year were: Garry Namponan, Bruce Bell, Lex Namponan, Leigh Namponan, Roderick Yunkaporta, Sammy Kerindun, Vernon Marbendinar, David Marpoondin and Bevan Namponan.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY AURUKUN SHIRE COUNCIL
“CIAF is the peak exhibition for the Wik and Kugu Art Centre which has a proud tradition of carving passed down through the generations,” said Aurukun Shire Council Mayor, Dereck Walpo.
Among the work was a family of dogs by Vernon Marbendinar, which included large and small camp dogs as well as birds.
Artist Lex Namponan said creating each dog was like doing a puzzle as he looked for the shape of the animal in pieces of soft milky pine which is collected from the scrub around Aurukun.
“After carving the body and head I pin the back legs in and use glue and sawdust to pack it inside. Then once it is dry I attach the front legs and then the ears and tail,” he explained.
“Our artists were honoured to have each of the 42 carvings they submitted to CIAF accepted by the curator for display which I understand is quite a coup. Last year every camp dog carving was sold at CIAF with the majority being bought by the National Gallery of Victoria before the exhibition even opened to the public” said Aurukun Shire Council Mayor, Dereck Walpo.
Artists Garry Namponan and Bruce Bell are among the master carvers teaching younger artists to carve and show students at the Aurukun State School their skills. “Kids from the school come to the Art Centre and learn about our wood carving. We explain to them about the paint and the mud clay that we use,” Mr Bell said.
