Spring is the Season when the air is sweet with the scent of a million flowers. In fact, Australia is one of the few countries in the world where flowers bloom all year round. From the bush to the bay, everything from our tallest trees to our mangroves flowers at its time to do so on verges that overlap each other and ensure everything that lives here, interconnected and whole, thrives.
Naturally, no pun intended, a vital element of this is the humble and regal insect we call the bee.
This Issue a few insights into local hives and honey from Avalon Honey gentleman Giles Stoddard.
Giles is a member of the Northern Beaches Beekeepers Club. The NBBC supports aspiring and experienced beekeepers from Cammeray to Barrenjoey.
About Avalon Honey
Giles sells honey, and also beeswax candles and beeswax wraps from his home at 32 Elouera Road, Avalon Beach. Please follow my bees on social media, as I post there when I have local honey available. It often sells out within weeks of me harvesting, so please also consider finding a local beekeeper near you on the beaches. There’s lots of us!
The electoral district of Pittwater was created in 1973 and is named after Pittwater, the estuary the district surrounds. Located in the traditional Liberal stronghold of Sydney's northern beaches, for the majority of its existence it has been a comfortably safe Liberal seat – a ‘blue ribbon seat’.
The first Member for Pittwater was Sir Robert William Askin, then Premier of New South Wales. The Electorate of Pittwater had been created out of a large portion of Askin's old seat of Collaroy, and was the natural place for Askin to transfer to when the seat was abolished.
The seat was held by New South Wales Opposition Leader John Brogden until his resignation in 2005. The Liberal stranglehold on the seat was lost in the resulting by-election when the Mayor of Pittwater Council, Alex McTaggart, standing as an Independent candidate, defeated the Liberal Paul Nicolau in a landslide.
The seat reverted to form at the 2007 general election, with new Liberal candidate Rob Stokes comfortably regaining the seat for his party. Mr. Stokes held the seat without serious difficulty until the 2023 NSW state election, when he retired on a majority of 20.8 percent, the third-safest in the state for a Coalition-held metropolitan seat.
At the 2023 election, Liberal Party member and former Northern Beaches Council councillor Rory Amon was elected by just a few hundred votes. Mr. Amon was forced to resign a year and a half later. Mr. Amon's departure has triggered a by-election for the seat of Pittwater.
As residents of Pittwater head towards another election on Saturday October 19 to decide who will represent them at a state level, a few insights into the placenames of the Electorate of Pittwater may be of interest.
