Matthew Milson is back at Norths in the latest step in a unique rugby league journey for the two-time Devils premiership winner Milson is another standout league product from Tingha Tingha’s population is less than 1000 but its role of footy graduates is grand – Preston Campbell Milson has the same quick feet that propelled those four men through long professional careers.  Put it down to the “rabbiting” and the high-stakes touch footy games that were a feature of Milson’s Tingha upbringing with his seven brothers and sisters Milson and his mates would chase rabbits around Tingha challenging each other to see how many they could catch The rabbits were caught by hand and released unharmed “I used to play every sport when I was growing up and we had some great games of footy in Sapphire Street “There was always a lot of players there and it was great fun You had to use your instincts a lot which was a bit like rabbiting We just had a lot of fun outside doing things.” Milson was a constant danger in the backline when the Devils surged to premierships in 2021 and 2022 – memorably swatting the ball over the sideline to end the 2021 decider – before spending the last two seasons at Wynnum Manly winning the club’s best player award in 2023 The proud Wiradjuri-Kamilaroi man has reunited with his premiership coach Rohan Smith at Norths excited by the chance to continue a career that has reached 77 Hostplus Cup appearances.  “It’s really good being back here with Ro,” Milson said “He’s really on the players’ level and he is always trying to help players improve to get to the next level following the path of some of his Devils premiership teammates Milson had a taste of professional football when he completed a pre-season with the Brisbane Broncos last summer however a hamstring injury prevented him from playing in an NRL trial Milson’s bright smile is a popular sight at the Devils where wife Teagan and their children Shiyah Milson and Teagan moved to Brisbane together after Year 12 Milson works as a community liaison officer in the health industry “It’s just exciting to be back especially when there are other young families around,” Milson said “The pre-season has been good and we’re working our way through it and just looking forward to getting the season underway.” Join the Devils online community and get all the latest news I’ve read and accept the Privacy Policy Norths Devils RLFC acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the region we serve: The Turrbal people those who have passed into the dreaming;

Auckland and one in Christchurch Sydney residents were left stunned when they discovered blood-red water flowing into the harbour near Milson Park in Kirribilli on Monday Experts are investigating the cause of the vibrant red hue in the bay leading into Sydney Harbour A North Sydney Council spokesperson confirmed that they were aware of the blood-red water “Council is aware of the red water flowing into the harbour from Milson Park and officers have investigated but have not been able to find the source.” The cause of the colour is likely to be plumbers dye which is safe and non toxic,” the spokesperson said The mysterious red water discovered in Sydney’s harbour comes just over two months after the same area was affected by bright green water authorities were alerted to a “large spill of fluorescent green material” that was traced to a nearby stormwater drain The bright green colouring was observed in Careening Cove at Milson Park located near Sydney’s central business district and one of the Prime Minister’s official residences is often used because its distinctive green colour makes it easy to trace Fire and Rescue NSW Superintendent Adam Dewberry confirmed that the green liquid had entered “our beautiful Sydney Harbour” via the drainage system at Kirribilli “Because it is such an old, heavily populated area it’s probably impossible to find where it started – there are probably thousands of points, like homes and stormwater drains, which lead into the harbour,” Superintendent Dewberry told Sydney Morning Herald at the time Sydney Water workers managed to flush the drain by around 6:40 p.m The NSW Environment Protection Authority is currently investigating the blood-red water An EPA spokesperson said the substance reported in Careening Cove on Monday appeared to be plumbers’ dye which is commonly used in plumbing/drain testing and dissipates quickly once diluted The dye has now dissipated and is no longer visible “Officers from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and North Sydney Council made enquiries into the matter but were unable to find a source for the dye,” the spokesperson said Anyone concerned about possible water pollution should contact the EPA’s 24/7 Environment Line on 131 555 as soon as possible to ensure their concerns can be investigated promptly James Milson Village (JMV) will celebrate its 50th anniversary on Sunday

Photo/ supplied Whanganui's Pacific Helmets are gaining global credit for their ground-breaking fire helmet. Last Friday October 6, for the third year running the design team won the Product Silver Pin at the annual Best Design Awards held in Auckland. Pacific Helmet research and development manager, Sam Milsom, said it was only fire helmet in the world that allowed the firefighter to put his face mask down completely over his breathing apparatus. "It's a great prize and we are really proud of it... a great step in the right direction as far as innovation goes," he said. Mr Milson said it took more than three years to complete the design and make and the helmets went on the market earlier this year. "We are currently selling them in Australia and hope to sell them in New Zealand soon." Mr Milson attended the event with business development director Grant Bennett; industrial designer Liam Dewhurst; and visual design and marketing Emma Dewhurst. More than 1000 people gathered at the awards night, representing companies from Australia, Turkey, China and Japan. Mr Milson said it was great to be acknowledged by their New Zealand design and manufacturing peers as a leading company for innovation and development. "You are up there with the likes of Fisher and Paykel, Emirates Team New Zealand ... the big headers really... so it's great to make Whanganui proud." Designers Institute CEO, Cathy Veninga, said design was a key way to help accelerate growth for a business, a city and a country. "This year's winners show that there is confidence in our design community and that clients are using design to positive effect." Fifteen North Island tourism groups have formed an alliance to attract key markets. Text description provided by the architects. Jonathan Tuckey Design’s new office is the conversion of a derelict pub in West London – dating back to 1884 – into a new studio, and doubles in function as a gallery and lecture theatre. The office can be found in the shadow of the V&A’s Blythe House and around the corner from Olympia and the new Design Museum. Sitting within an immediate local scene of eclectic Victorian architecture, from the outset we felt it was important to collaborate with this context. Traditionally pubs are places that foster conversations about local issues, and the intention was to extend this to include discussions about cities and their communities.
