FIFTH SUNDAY IN LENT

17 March 2013

RUSTIC FOLLY

To a big-time wool-grower’s daughter’s wedding, in true egalitarian Australian fashion, the property’s entire staff were invited. One of the station-hands bravely sampled all the flash tucker that had been especially imported for the wedding feast. First he put some caviar on a biscuit, then grabbed a paper napkin and spat it out. Then he tried a black olive, screwed his face up, and spat that too into a paper napkin. “Stone the flamin’ crows!” he muttered fiercely to another station-hand. “You’d think the boss or the cook’d be a bit more careful with this tucker - the flamin’ blackberry jam tastes like fish, and I reckon the cat’s piddled on the prunes!”


                THIS AND THAT (76)

Andrew Neaum

 

We entered St Augustine’s and its Gardens in the “Greater Shepparton Cultural Heritage Awards 2013" and were duly inspected a week ago last Friday. Our entry was in Category 4: “Best Maintained Place”. Whether we are successful or not, the effort from our Gardeners and from our Church and Hall cleaners, Reg Wells and Tony Pearson, was superb and heart-warming. The day before the inspection the place hummed with activity and effort and the Church and Gardens have never looked better. Well done and thank you.


Adding up and counting down

How significant in human experience is “half-way”. We count up to half way from the beginning and then down from half way to the end. Counting down appears to be so much faster than counting up, as if the word “down” is literal rather than metaphorical.

 

When I travel to Benalla as soon as I reach Nalinga, almost exactly half way, it becomes kilometre count-down rather than count-up, and I feel all but at my destination.

 

In the season of Lent the pull up to the Fourth Sunday in Lent, which is Mothering Sunday, Refreshment Sunday and Mid-Lent Sunday is expansive, leisurely and relaxed. From then on, however, it is a downward, helter skelter rush to Holy Week and Easter Day with hardly time to breathe. So too of course with “middle-age” though that doesn’t bear dwelling upon.


Next Sunday is Palm Sunday

If you think I am talking nonsense just think, this Sunday is “Passion Sunday”, the ornaments in the Church are already veiled. Next Sunday is Palm Sunday, the beginning of the end not only for Lent but also for Jesus of Nazareth, though mercifully the beginning of the beginning that is Easter for Christ the Universal King.

 

I trust that everyone of us is determined to plunge fully into all the marvellous services of Holy Week and Easter. To miss any of them is like missing a crucial episode in a brilliant BBC drama series, or a chapter in a superb novel! As the vast majority of our fellow citizens prepare for a leisurely, boozy, holiday long weekend, we plunge into and immerse ourselves in the mystery of life’s meaning, purpose and destiny. Holiday weekends and footling social obligations are as nothing compared to this.


RETURN TO

TRISTAN DA CUNHA (11)

 

                Friday 21 Sept, 2012 10.30am (....continued)

On our way back from our walk we made a detour to view a house being built in the traditional style and way. It is to be a museum as well as a tribute to the old way of doing things. We have lots of black and white photographs depicting such house building from my time on the island in the nineteen fifties and we have left digitalised copies of these at the Tourist and Heritage Centre. The gable ends of houses in the old days, as with the one we viewed being built, were constructed of huge, irregular sized blocks of soft volcanic rock, shaped by an axe. The front walls were built of similar stone, though with door and window spaces. The back wall was usually set into the slope and so often had no windows and was made from dry-stone-walled, hard, jagged blue stones. On the one being built as a museum there was a great concrete plinth on top of the back wall which in days gone by would probably have been a wooden beam. The inside walls of these old houses were lined with timber, much of it gathered from the beaches, washed ashore, or made from crates. The rooves were thatched with New Zealand flax and turf was used to seal the ridge. The house we viewed was nowhere near finished, but its construction faithfully followed the old ways and I saw a picture of it recently finished at last and looking very fine.

 

We made our way back home to finish of the second half of an improvised macaroni dish made a couple of days ago. We ate it outside in light, cloud-filtered sunshine and we then put out a mattress and lay down in the sun for a snooze, me a very short one, Diana’s more substantial. I lay there looking at the flax high above me on the eastern side of the garden. It grows on the top of what was originally a high turf wall, as I well remember and behind which in those days was our vegetable garden. We then went down at about four o clock to watch the nine fishing boats return.

 

Cray fishing

The fishermen lower their traps down into the sea about a hundred feet, baited with fish heads that are stuffed into small, finely meshed canisters. Interestingly nearly all the fish heads are imported frozen from South Africa. To fish merely for bait is forbidden around the island, for sustainability reasons, though of course wastage from any fish caught for eating purposes can legitimately be used for bait. We watched some young men baiting up for the next fishing day. It seems that they don't bother freezing the stuffed canisters until that day, presumably because the stinkier they are the better.

 

The caught crayfish are stored in plastic open boxes in the boats. We observed one boat come in prematurely and then go out again, for they were still sizing the fish before putting them into the boxes. There are penalties imposed for any crayfish below regulation size presented for processing. The boxes are craned out all together, put on a tractor trailer and taken straight up to the factory. Then the boat itself is also lifted out, put on a wheeled trailer and pushed out of the way to make room for the next boat.

 

Processing crayfish

We then made our way up to the factory on top of the cliff, overlooking the harbour. There we were eventually ushered into the Factory Manager’s office. Eric is a delightful South African fellow with an open and pleasing face. His lively and very lovely little daughter was there with him at the factory, back from school. There were five of us who had arranged to look over the factory and we donned gumboots, white coats and disposable hygiene hats.

 

We were shown the process of sorting the crayfish. The big and strong ones are selected, and dropped into a series of large bins of filtered sea water to be purged. They will be cooked and packed whole for sale in Australia and Japan. These are the ones that make the most money for there is no weight loss in taking off the head and claws. We were told that because quotas in Australia have been severely reduced, these Tristan lobsters are marketed in Australia as Tasmanian lobsters to make up quota numbers. As with all luxury products, downturns in economies can hit industries like this very hard. Eric told us that the downfall of Lehman Brothers in the USA curtailed sales because such expensive fish are mostly eaten on expense accounts! The smaller fish have their heads pulled off and the tails go down a watered chute where they are picked up by a line of island women and the "thread" is expertly pulled. The number of islanders employed after a fishing day is high. He told us that this day's catch, about three and a half tonnes, would fetch in cash, gross (I assume), about £40,000.

 

There is no fishing in June, July and August, and the present month, September, is not the best of months. A good catch would be double the amount of yesterday and could be as high as ten tonnes. I cannot now remember what the fishing company's exclusive rights to the fishing grounds are worth, the Administrator told me this last night, but it is based on a percentage and so could be seventy or even a hundred thousand pounds per annum. The exact species of crayfish is found in only very few locations in the world, all within roughly this latitude: around a couple of Indian Ocean islands, New Holland being one and on a couple of mid-ocean, below-the-sea-surface mountain tops, though variations between this and other species might be small.

 

The tails are packed in boxes raw, flash frozen and go mostly to the United States. The Fishing Company is attempting to get into the European market as well, though regulations are tight. The vulnerability of markets to economic conditions means that the more outlets available the better. One of us remarked that China would be a wonderful market to crack and that he had a friend in another fishing company who had told him that they did indeed get into China by way of Hong Kong but not legally and that ultimately there was a heavy price to pay.

 

There is now the beginning of a market developing in selling the discarded heads as items in their own right. Some are sold to serve merely as a decorative addition to sea food dishes in restaurants, but also there is apparently some substance in the shell which, if treated, reduced and ground, can be made into a pill that absorbs or prevents the digestion of oil in human beings and so is valuable. They also bundle up broken whiskers to send with the whole lobsters, these can be put in with those specimens who have lost a whisker and so encourage the assumption that they have been lost in transit. Those sold as whole crayfish are permitted to have lost two or three legs, but no more.

 

At this time of the year female crayfish are not often caught, but Eric found several and was able to pick them out and show us the difference between them and the males, the most obvious being far greater protection under the tail for eggs.

 

When viewing the lobsters in the tanks, I inadvertently stepped back against the outflow pipe of the constantly running water and half filled one of my gumboots, to everyone’s amusement. All in all the Factory operates a slickly run process, with exact and impressive attention to detail.

 

Five Fingers and a party

When we got back home Kobus brought us a large Five Finger gutted and cleaned. This is a fish which my father maintained provided the best eating on the Island. So before heading out to a celebration at Carlene's I sharpened a knife and filleted it. I haven't made up my mind what to do with the two large fillets. We are out to dinner tonight and tomorrow and so will have one of the them for lunch, possibly simply as it is, fried with a bit of bread and butter.

 

We next headed to Carlene's house to celebrate her son’s twenty first birthday. To start with this was less crowded than such celebrations on the island usually are because of folk working at the factory. Later on the house filled up tight. The Administrator and his wife were already present when we arrived and a handful of others. The large table in the kitchen groaned with the weight of food: pastry horns filled with a tuna mix, crayfish tartlets, nogs of cray fish to be dipped in mayonnaise, Vienna sausage rolls, pasties, little quiches, homemade potato crisps, (made, Carlene tells, me by hand not machine) and then cakes and pavlovas and so on. I managed not to over indulge this time, but such bounty is hard to resist. I had a good chat once more with Jeremy, the Island’s shepherd and then Marina, the Administrator’s wife raised my hopes by suggesting that there could well be suitable conditions on Monday for a trip to Nightingale Island. After a while Jeremy's father came in, a tall, thin fellow with one of those amazing faces you would love to paint, with a great character-imparting nose, and an air of quiet wisdom and integrity, an astonishingly fine looking man. We left shortly after the Administrator and wife, though beforehand I went into the bedroom where there were a lot of men gathered, quietly sipping beer keeping Carlene's husband company, who was in bed with gout. There we got talking about the traditional house being built. The Administrator was interested in the photos I have on the computer (mentioned earlier) and suggested I take them to Dawn in the Heritage Centre so that she can archive them, something I will do. (I received an email only a few weeks ago from Dawn asking my permission to publish some of these in connection with the opening of the traditional house now completed)
