by ELEANOR RAPLEY The Rotary Inspirational Women’s Awards (RIWA) were established to re c o g n i s e w o m e n w h o exemplify Rotary’s motto of ‘Service above Self’, with Mary Doolan being awarded first place in her respective category. Ms Doolan was recognised as the first female principal of Coonabarabran High School, a dedicated educator and community leader in rural NSW. A former solicitor turned educator, Ms Doolan has previously received the NSW Premier’s award for teaching excellence, and serves on the NSW Government’s Centre for Education Statistics and Evaluation Advisory Council. She champions educational services in regional areas, implementing vital programs like a breakfast initiative and finding emergency accommodation for students in crisis. Her commitment extends beyond education, supporting vulnerable people to navigate the legal system, fund-raising for charities, and actively supporting community events. Ms Doolan is a strong advocate for women’s issues, particularly supporting the local domestic violence crisis house.” Talking to Ms Doolan, she said the nomination it was a complete surprise for her. “It was a lovely surprise when my colleague, Danielle Barisa, let me know she had nominated me for this award,” Ms Doolan said. “I hadn’t heard of the Rotary Inspirational Women’s Awards before that day.

Equine therapy for veterans: RSL Spur Program coming to Coona Australia’s service men and women are the proud backbone of our nation, and commencing 10 November, Coonabarabran will host the RSL Spur program, an initiative from Picton offering free equine therapy to support the wellbeing and recovery of current and former Australian service members and their families. by ELEANOR RAPLEY RSL Spur was e s t a bl i s he d by M a x Streeter, who worked with the RSL LifeCare to create the program, based on a 3 0 0 -acre property where they run basic horse-hand ling cou rses a nd r id i ng intensives, each course designed to add on skills. Mr Streeter said the course was driven by h i s ow n ex per ienc es as a veteran returning from overseas, and the connection he found with horses. “I was significantly affected by my service,” Mr Streeter said. “ My f i rst contact with horses was transformative and I then emba rked on a journey that was healing and uplifting. “ I wanted other veterans to experience the healing power of horses and horsemanship.” In 2018, Mr Streeter approached the CE O of RSL LifeCare with a plan to establish a full-time western riding ranch at Picton, in NSW. “RSL LifeCare supported my vision, and over the years we have evolved the program to see the needs of veterans and their families,” he said. “ RSL LifeCare had the property prior to the program, but it was largely disused, and in
need of serious repairs. “We initially made do, but the program became so popular that the RSL and RSL LifeCare have contributed significantly to establishing a facility to be proud of.” Currently, the facility boasts 15 horses across a range of breeds, including quarter horses, stock horses, and standardbreds. “Sourcing the right courses is critical,” Mr Streeter continued. “ We a r e t a k i n g absolute beg i n ners t h r ou g h a s e r ie s o f courses that will give them the skills to attend a muster. “To do this we acquire educated horses that are calm and of good t empera ment . T hey need to be vice free to safely carry the veterans through the program. “These horses become much love d by t he veterans and are given the best of care.” In the lead up to the muster, the veterans c o mpl e t e a t w o - d ay hand l i ng cou rse, a four-day western riding intensive, and a five-day riding and cattle clinic. T hese events a re hosted throughout the year, 25 all up, 10 of wh ich a r e h a nd ler ’s courses. T h ree musters a re hosted throughout the ye a r, w it h pr e v iou s musters being conducted at Scone, and trail rides
th rough the Snow y Mountains. “We found the veterans liked the challenge of cattle mustering, the skills learned, combined with understanding the challenges of being a grazier,” Mr Streeter said. A long with Mr Streeter there are th ree other r id ing instructors, plus a team of 10 volunteers, who offer significant support to Spur Ranch and its programs. “One of these volunteers is Gera rd Sutton,” M r Streeter said. “Gerard is a very proud son of Coonabarabran, and I had the privilege to meet some of his family. “ L a s t y e a r, w h e n considering locations to muster, Gerard sold me on Coonabarabran. “ I s ent t wo o f my team to have a look and determine if the location was suitable and they came back with a smile from ear to ear. “ The place was amazing, and the locals were kind and supporting. It met all my requirements of being an authentic Australian country town that was surrounded by cattle country. “ We reached out to proper ty owners and local businesses and we have been overwhelmed with their generosity and support.”

IN FOCUS: SOCIAL MEDIA RESTRICTIONS
Swipe left: proposed bans for teens on social media It’s often told to teenagers that parents don’t understand their social media world, so in a rise of disrespect, harmful stereotypes and cybercrime, the Albanese Government is attempting to offer parents a sense of control and safety. by ELEANOR RAPLEY Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said, “we’re suppo r ting pa rents and keeping kids safe by taking this action because enough is enough.” The announcement was made days af te r South Aus t ra l i a a n n o u n ced a plan to restrict social media access to children under the age of 14, and is in line with trials in the United States and United Kingdom. The legislation will be introduced later this yea r, af ter an ‘age assurance trial’, in which the Gover nment has invested $6.5 million to test different implementation approaches.
T h i s co m es at a t i m e when social media giant, M E TA i s i nt rod uci ng ‘Instagram Teen’ accounts, automatically placing any user under 16 in a limited exper ience of the app, with parental permission to lessen these restrictions such as who can contact them and what they can see. H o w e v e r, t h e e x a c t ‘how’ these measures will be enforced is not clear, given the current measures requires a tick box, and easily-faked birthdays. If teenagers can get their hands on fake IDs, who’s to say that they will not be able to make it through these measures? Wh i l e t h e a b ove t wo
movements are unrelated, the Albanese Government is clearly listening to rising community and parental concerns, with the latest stage of the ‘Stop it at the Start’ campaign focusing on a rise in misogynistic content feeding violent cycles. Minister for Social Services, Amanda Rishwo r th said parents and carers were often unaware of these new forms of disrespect and their links to violence against women. “ N ew resea rch s how s there is a growing echoch a m b e r of d i s re s p e ct o n l i n e w i t h i n f l u e n ce r s targeting young boys with misogynistic content,” she said.
“Parents and other adults with young people in their lives can’t always know ever ything that kids are seeing online, but we can ta ke s te p s to e d u ca te ou r selves on w hat they are seeing and hear ing and help young people to recognise and deal with harmful online content. “ We c a n’ t l e t t h e s e m i s o g y n i s t i c vo i ce s g o unchallenged.” It was only a year ago that former professional k i c k b oxe r co m e s o c i a l media personality, Andrew Tate, rose to prominence w i t h i n t h es e p l at fo r m s, c re a t i n g a s u b - cu l t u re of toxic masculinity and sexism. Professional NFL player,
Harrison Butker’s degrading graduation speech back in May gained significant media traction and attention – positive and negative – as a team mate of Taylor Swift’s par tner, Travis Kelce. These men hold significant platforms and the power to influence the ve r y demog raph ic that Albanese is targeting. Fo r the youth, these conce r ns and wa r nings aren’t anything new. Schools, and even the social-media companies t h e m s e l ve s h a ve b e e n encouraging children to be ‘cyber aware’ for years, but it has been swept under the rug for so long to a point of desensitisation against
such things, particularly as they seep from screens to real-life conversations. The root of this discussion is a necessity to undo almost two decades of mental, societal damage, but the i nadve r tent dang e r s of this is yet to be properly understood – activists and teenag e r s have been attempting to show social media as positive spaces of belonging, creativity, and communication. Out here, in an a m o re i s o l ate d re g i o n a l com m un it y, these bans co u l d p e r h a p s l e a d to significant mental harm, par ticularly for any youth who may identif y as members of minor it y groups.
YOUR SAY: What age do you think young people should have access to social media?
Adam Flood: When they’ve got a purpose to be on it, but about 17.
Bernie McBain: 14 or 15. It’s so damaging for their mental health and then they can concentrate on their studies. But how do you police it?
Scott Mckenzie: 16, with your Driver’s Licence.
Meegan Young: I perceive it as a drug, therefore it should be supervised at 16, and full at 18, but there’s just so many mental health problems.
Henry Blackman: My mother said I wasn’t allowed it until 18, but I think I got it earlier. I think it should be 16.
Emma Hutchinson: I don’t know, I remember Facebook being 18, but it was so easy to fake it. How do you enforce it?

Inspirational teachers honoured FROM: FRONT “I didn’t real ly think about the awards again until I received a call one Saturday morning several months ago from one of the awards’ organisers, letting me know that I was a state finalist – another lovely surprise!” Ms Doolan said it was a “humbling experience” to have been nominated and then recognised with the award. “I feel very grateful that I was able to celebrate the day with my husband, Duncan, daughter Brigid, and with Danielle. “I was in good company as my talented colleague, Sherelle Moore, was also a state finalist. “These awards are emblematic of the many good things that Rotary do in our community, and I feel honoured to have been recognised by them. “I’ve been very fortunate to have many inspirational women in my life, many of them working in education, but chief among them being my darling mum, Carmel.” Ms Doolan said the luncheon was a highly-enjoyable event. “A true celebration of women across a number of fields.” RIWA Ambassador, Louise Hope,
survivor of the Lindt Cafe Siege almost 10 years ago, was an inspirational speaker at the awards’ luncheon, as was the keynote speaker, Roanne Monte, CEO of Armtrec Global. Her E xcellency, the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC, Governor of New South Wales, was the patron of the event, and summarised it as, “the annual RIWA acknowledges women who see themselves as doing ordinary things in the community, but which we know and many of us have experience, have extraordinary impact.” This sentiment was echoed by the Jodie Harrison MP, Minister for Women and Seniors. “These awards are a wonder ful opportunity to recognise and celebrate the women who generously contribute to their communities across the city, regional, and rural NSW often asking for little in return,” Ms Harrison said. “The dedication these women have shown is truly deserving of recognition and praise. Their contributions do not go unnoticed.” “By celebrating their achievements, I hope it will inspire future generations and encourage more women and girls to follow in their footsteps.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Geese concerns At the risk of upsetting geese lovers of Coona, I must draw attention to the serious health these wandering birds can cause. Geese are susceptible to the same bacterial infections that affect other birds such as salmonella, E. coli and listeria, and can transmit these bacteria to humans through their faeces. Additionally, geese can carry the strain of bird flu which can infect humans. Geese can also carry parasites like cryptosporidium and giardia which can be passed to humans who come in contact with water contaminated with goose faeces. The average goose is a prodigious pooper and can poop every 20 minutes and they can produce up to 1.5 pounds of poop per day. The volume of goose faeces can create an overwhelming smell and mess in a relatively short amount of time and they do not limit to pooping on grass but will poop on concrete, asphalt, wood decks, water feature’s, motor vehicles and roofs casing acidic damage. Pregnant and breast-feeding women, and children are most at risk – dogs eating the faeces can be sick and vomit
for several days. Humans can become infected with avian flu through contact with live or dead infected birds and their excretions. Infections in humans can be asymptomatic, or can include symptoms such as fever, sore throat, cough, respiratory distress and pneumonia and, in some case, can die from avian influenza. Since the geese have contaminated Robinson Street I have a number of the afore-mentioned symptoms. Cleaning up their mess can take over an hour a day. It is interesting to note that if a school has geese, the faeces must be cleaned daily. I am led to believe that new NSW regulations state that animals (including geese) must not roam free and if they are found to wandering the streets the owners must be informed, and if the owners cannot be found council must be informed so the they can be removed. Yours etc., Graeme E Giles Coonabarabran 2357 (08.10.2024)

Dial The Doc: bridging WORD for WORD health-care gaps
When former central western NSW GP Dr Jeremy Allen, founder of online telehealth start-up Dial The Doc, traded in the small rural town of Condobolin for the Bellinger Valley 11 years ago, he left behind more than just red dust on his shoes. Living and working in a rural community for over seven years left a huge impression on the then young doctor, originally from a tiny farming community in the centre of New Zealand’s North Island, and it is a tie that he never managed to break. Although now at home living in what is one of the most idyllic parts of Australia, Dr Allen’s heart inevitably strays back to the bush. Over the years he has kept regular contact with many of his rural patients, visiting friends
and providing ongoing medical care for many. “Marrying a girl from Condobolin really cemented my connection to the central west,” Dr Allen said. “Plus, a love of the Australian bush and farm machinery was always going to seal the deal for me. My breaks from doctoring each summer typically involve a stint on a header at Fifield to help a friend with the harvest. It’s definitely my happy place, I generally head west any chance I can get.” The distance and his
capacity to effectively provide patient care has been somewhat limited at times, however, which prompted Dr Allen to question whether there may be a better way. “Following on from COVID, many health professionals realised the potential that new technology had to bridge the gaps in health services especially for those living remotely,” Dr Allen said. “I was already conducting telehealth appointments, but it was difficult until electronic technology

became available to send pathology, imaging requests and prescriptions – now it can all be done at the touch of a button.” In response to the ongoing need for medical services in rural communities and also to assist patients that may not be able to attend a clinic due to illness or work commitments, Dr Allen launched online telehealth business Dial The Doc at the end of 2023. “We have only really just gotten up and running and most people that have accessed the site so far are previous patients from the central west, or those that have heard about me through word of mouth in the Coffs Harbour and Bellingen area.” As the reach of the website continues to expand, Dr Allen, in addition to his face-toface appointments in the practice in Coffs Harbour, has begun treating patients in towns and cities from Sydney, Dubbo, Tamworth and as far afield as Western Australia. “We’ve been blown away by the response to the website, it’s a wonderful feeling knowing that we are able to provide crucial access to medical services to people that may otherwise have to wait many weeks to see a doctor,” he said. “The Condobolin community and surrounding areas in particular have been crucial to the success of the website so far. As any new business owner knows, we are only able to operate because of the wonderful people that continue to access our services,” Dr Allen said. And Dr Allen is not the first practitioner to notice the opportunity that new technology has allowed in providing health care via online telehealth services. A google search will now show a plethora of providers offering similar services. According to Department of Health and Aged, by 2022 over half of the population had already used telehealth for their GP services. In the future, Dr Allen hopes to expand the site to include additional doctors who are equally confident in providing quality services and genuinely care about the well-being of their patients. “We’ll be looking for doctors that share the same principles of patient care and are willing to go above and beyond for their individual patients,” Dr Allen said. “As any patient knows, having a doctor that cares enough and knows your history can make all of the difference.”

Cait walks for cancer research A Remember September fund-raising walk has topped all expectations. by LIZ CUTTS District resident, Cait Matthews is delighted with the support she has received for taking on PanKind’s Remember September charity walk ch a l len ge t o honou r and remember the 71 Australians who die each week from pancreatic cancer. The event is very close to her heart, having lost her sister to pancreatic cancer in December last year. “ It is a n i nsid ious disease, with symptoms often coming far too late for effective treatment,” Cait said. “ I took on this challenge in memor y of my beautiful sister, Sarah, who was just 55 years old. Words cannot describe the pain of not having her with me, so my hope is that through fund-raising I will help in some small way to save another family from this unbearable loss.” Cait signed up to walk 71 k i lometres a lone, hoping to raise $1222 for pancreatic cancer r e s e a r ch du r i ng t he month of S eptember, but found that she was still 20 kilometres short of her t a r get at t he end of the month. She put out a hasty call to
friends and family and was overwhelmed by the response. “ I asked i f a nyone would like to join me to walk the remaining kilometres from Bugaldie to Baradine on Saturday, 28 September, and all of a sudden I had people saying they would walk with me,” she said. “It was a lovely day and we enjoyed each other ’s c ompa ny. We wer e d r e s s ed i n t he pancreatic cancer f u nd-ra iser pu r ple – my sister ’s favou r ite colour – and with lots of added sparkles. We were doing it for a good cause and I had two of my sister’s daughters with us. When we got to Baradine, I checked my donation page and found that we had raised $8333! “This sum amounts to about six weeks’ worth of research into pancreatic cancer; so ver y, ver y important and I am so incredibly grateful. It was amazing to get such support in this way.” As Australia’s only pancreatic cancer c h a r i t y, P a n K i n d requires the assistance of ma ny generous patrons to fund-raise for research.

STARFEST: 4-5 OCTOBER 2024
Stars align for Starfest celebrations The Anglo-Australian Telescope soared to 50 years last week, and with that came a flurry of celebrations. by ELEANOR RAPLEY First opened by (then) Prince Charles on 16 October 1974, the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) was established by the Australian Academy of Science and the Royal Society in London, to address the imbalance of astronomical data from the southern hemisphere. In mid-2010, the A AT became wholly Aust ra l ian ow ned and ope rated, af te r decades of a bilateral agreement between the Australian and UK governments. Since then, it has made its mark as the largest telescope in the southern hemisphere, the first of its size to be computer controlled, and continues to be at the forefront of astronomy. It was the first telescope to detect the sur face of Venus through its thick cloud layers. In the 1970s and ’80s it was made famous by the work of David Malin, the telescope’s photographic specialist, who developed a technique to see galaxies and nebulae in their true colours. The AAT pioneered new techniques that allowed astronomers to capture the details of stars and galaxies hundreds at a time, rather than singly, which would allow precise maps of the universe to be drawn. To ce l e b ra te t h e te l e s co p e s 5 0 t h anniversary, a full itinerary of events was organised, including a VIP tour and cake
cutting, which was emceed by astronomerat-large, Professor Fred Watson. “It’s such an honour to have been asked to MC the cake-cutting ceremony for the 50th birthday of the AAT, and I’m blown away, because I didn’t know I was going to do this until 15 minutes ago – someone might have mentioned it before, but it went in one ear and out the other,” Professor Watson said. Special guests were Auntie Brenda Nichols, from the Gamilaroi peoples, Zoe Holcombe representing the staff, Professor Julia Bryant, who represented the A AT council, and representing the Federal Government was Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton. “This is a great honour, I’ve been here a few times and this is a momentous day,” Mr Coulton said. “I’ve been here on one of the saddest days on this hill after the fires, and it was just devastation, but it was followed by the resilience from the people here and the broader Coonabarabran communit y to come from such levels of devastation. “I’m a bit star-struck standing next to Fred, because I have recollections as a tractor driver, at about three in the morning, listening to Fred explain some far-off phenomenon in the sky and trying to see it. “What’s interesting is that the AAT is just as innovative and important today as it was 50 years ago – and how this basic structure has evolved to encapsulate modern technology. “ Bei ng a m em be r of Pa r l i a m ent ha s

great privileges, and this is one of them – congratulations on your 50th birthday.” Summarising the celebrations, director of Siding Spr ing Obser vato r y, Professo r Chris Lidman reported, “In celebration of 50th anniversar y of the AAT a three-day symposium attended by astronomers and former staff from throughout Australia and overseas was held at the Observatory. “T h e h i g h l i g ht wa s th e ca ke - cut t i n g ceremony in front of the AAT on the Thursday afternoon. “Auntie B renda led the cake - cut ting ceremony, which included a cake in the shape of the AAT.” Hot on the heals of the symposium was the annual, packed-out Science in the Pub event, run by 2357 Development Group and held at the Coonabarabran Golf Club on Friday evening Celebrations continued at the mountain on Saturday, with the Open Day on the Saturday, followed by the Bok Lecture, organised by the Warrumbungle Dark Sky Committee, held in the beautiful Canyon picnic area in the Warrumbungle National Park on the Saturday evening. Over 2000 people attended Open Day, a mixture of visitors and local residents. “It was a foggy start to the day, but the weather soon cleared to a beautiful day,” Professor Lidman said. “A great time was had by all.”

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public PBL celebrations A great day was had by all during our Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) celebration. Students had a great time riding their bikes and scooters in the playground. They were also treated to popcorn and a movie, as well as
an ice-block to cool down after all that bike riding! Congratulations to each and every student as they all contributed to the 8000 Class Dojo points. NAIDOC celebration We were very pleased to join the Preschool in hosting the NAIDOC
Jack Hicks, Eloise Semmler and Amelia Hutchison having bike fun at the PBL celebration day.

celebration. We are very thankful to Miss Marie, who organised Ms Karen Andriske, a teacher from St John's College, Dubbo, for a fun, joint NAIDOC Cultural Day between the school and Preschool. Ms Andriske organised a wide variety of activities for all children and school students to participate in whilst broadening their cultural knowledge and understanding around Aboriginal culture. Students happily taste-tested some Johnny Cakes and emu sausages! It was an amazing day for everyone! Happy holidays We hope everyone has had a fantastic school holiday period after what has been a very productive term. School resumes on Monday, 14 October, for all students including Transition students. There is no School Development Day at the beginning of term four.

WEATHER WATCH CCorrections to Castlereagh Inn site. The first Pub in Coonabarabran In “History Jottings from the Coonabarabran Times 2021 to Present”, part four on page 98, I prepared a table showing the location of the old pubs of Coonabarabran. On this, I showed the present day site of the Castlereagh Inn and the Club House Hotel as
being located on the site now occupied by Betta Electrical, Pamal and Galaxy Emporium. ( Lots 4 and 5, section 1, town of Coonabarabran map). Due to recent research, I now locate these two historical sites as being on the present day site of Crazy Sam’s store.
(Lot 3, section 1, town of Coonabarabran map). The Betta Electrical, Pamal and Galaxy Emporium site was occupied by the first and second Neilson’s stores, from the 1880s through to the 1960s. ( Lot 2, section 1, town of Coonabarabran map).
The gable of the second Neilson’s store is still apparent on the top of Betta Electrical, Pamal and Galaxy Emporium stores. Billy Woos shop was located on the main entrance driveway of the present day Woolworths parking area. John Whitehead

Local councils disadvantaged I ’m c a l l i ng on the Labor Government to extend the deadline for applications for round t wo o f t he G r ow i n g Regions Program which closes today, Thursday 10 October. Applications opened on 5 September, when N S W c o u n c i l s we r e al ready in ca retaker mode ahead of L ocal Government elections o n 14 S ept em b e r. Election results were on ly a n nou nced last week and many of our local councils will not have even had a chance to meet before the 10 October deadline, let a l o n e apply f o r t he largest regional grant funding opportunity. C onsider i ng lo ca l councils are the predominant applicant for the Growing Regions Program – four of the five recipients in the Parkes electorate from round one were councils – it is incomprehensible that the Labor Government would restrict applications to a time when councils cannot meet and authorise the lodgement of projects that will provide so many
community benefits. Infrastructure and Regional Development M i n i s t e r C at h e r i n e King is also the Local Government Minister, so she should know when the Local Government elections are held in NSW, and yet she still chose to open this round of fund ing at a time when councils cannot apply. I can’t help but think this is just another way for Labor to starve the regions of funding. Anniversaries, openings & upgrades Last week it was a g reat honour to take part in the 50th birthday celebration of the AngloAustralian Telescope (A AT ) at Siding Spring Observatory in Coonabarabran. T he A AT is the largest optical telescope i n Austra l ia. It was opened by His R oyal Highness Prince Charles (now K i ng ) on 16 October 1974 and since then has contributed greatly contributed to astronomical science and outstanding research. We’re so lucky to have such a n i ncred ible and important piece of technology right here
in our own backyard, so it was wonderful to be able to celebrate this significant milestone. I also attended the opening of the Regional E du c at i o n T r a i n i n g Centre (RETC) in Dubbo last week. The state-ofthe-art police training facility is the first of its kind in NSW and will allow our country cops to be trained and retrained in the bush, meaning less time away from their communities. W h i le i n D ubbo, I inspected the progress on the new Dubbo bridge, now that one third of the concrete deck has been completed. Construction is also underway for the network of roads that will link the bridge to the Dubbo road network. The former Federal Coalition Government r e c og n i sed the ne ed for this upg rade and invested $176.2 million into the project initially, so it’s great to see it progressing. The now $263.2 million project is due to be completed in late 2026. New heavy vehicle rest area I ’m pleased that a new heavy-vehicle rest area on the Bourke to
Milparinka Road is being funded by the Australian Government. It’s one of six projects funded under the third tranche of the Federal Government’s Heavy Vehicle Rest Area initiative. Bourke Shire Council has received $67,20 0 to construct the heavy vehicle rest area on the road reserve at Goonary on the nor th side of the carriageway. T he $ 8 4 ,0 0 0 pr oje c t w i l l include gravel pavement and bitumen seal. The Bouke to Milparinka Road is a long stretch with few places to stop, so I’m sure this new rest area will be welcomed by truck drivers who regularly travel that way, as well as tourists. Early childhood wage increase Early childhood education providers in the Parkes electorate can this week apply to opt-in to receive the new Early Chi ld hood Education and Care (ECEC) Worker Retention Payment. The worker retention payment will support a 15 p e r c e nt wa g e increase for the early childhood education and care workforce over two years. P rov iders optin by applying for the payment. The payment will be issued to eligible pr ov ider s t h r oug h a g rant ag reement and delivered via the Child Care Subsidy System and then providers must pass the payment on to eligible ECEC workers.
W hile a month ago there were record-high maximum temperatures at Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberly region that I thought were some of the most extreme weather events which persisted for a long time, the month of September at places in the Pilbara turned out to be most extraordinary, with regards to nightt i me me a n-m i n i mu m temperatures for September. Not only being the highest on record, but two to three degrees above the previous record high for September. Three stations – Port Hedland, Onslow and Marble Bar – have been taken into account. At Port Hedland t he me a n-m i n i mu m temperature for September was 21.4, a massive 5.8 degrees above normal of 15.6 – and more than two degrees above the previous record of 19 degrees in September 1944. The lowest minimum t e mp e r at u r e o f 17. 8 degrees on 7 September wa s s t i l l mor e t h a n two degrees above the September normal at Port Hedland.
The highest minimum t emperatre at Por t Hedland was 27.3 degrees on 21 September. This made it the wa rmest September night there in 126 years of records. The previous warmest September nights were 26.4 in 2021 and 25.1 in 1980. T he temperature soared to 40.1 degrees on Monday, 2 September, the earliest date that 40 degrees was reached at Port Hedland. Norma l ly at Por t Hed l a nd , 4 0 deg re es occurred near the end of September. The first week of O ct ober at Por t Hed la nd tu r ned out to be a few degrees cooler than the whole of September, but the heat in the Kimberleys has intensified again, with 42 degrees at Fitzroy Crossing . It has continued to be very hot and very dry in the Gulf region of Queensland at b o t h P a l m e r v i l l e and Normanton, with temperatures topping 40 degrees at the end of September at both towns – the hottest on record at Palmer v ille for September and the
hottest for September at Normanton since 1989 and before that in 1915. There has been no rain for 198 successive days In our region, maximum temperatures over the last three weeks have kept to near normal at most stations, while minimum temperatures have been below normal because of the persistent dry conditions. T he warmest September nights at Port Hedland is a good sign of hotter days to come up to next summer in our region, but with weaker pressure gradients look certain to continue for another fortnight. Hotter days over 32 degees are not likely until about 21 October. T he second week of November, ma x i mu m temperatures may top 38 degrees . The fourth week of October, significant rain and thunderstorms are antcipated. The big trouble spot is Cocos Keeling Island, which has been notably warmer than normal now for 13 successive months. Last month was the warmest September since 1999. Seven of the months this year have recorded the highest temperature on record for each of these of these seven months at Cocos Island. It has also been drier than average over the last 13 months. Incidently, at the start of these 13 months, an El Nino event was going to happen .

Over the Odds CENTRAL & WESTERN RACING by COL HODGES Mungery Races Sunday, 6 October His father, Ben Pollock, rode in the famous Grand National at Aintree and now 19-year-old Englishborn Arthur Pollock, riding Pacific Warrior for his mother, Scone trainer Nikki Pollock, has won the Cup at the centenary meeting hosted by Mungery in central west NSW. Arthur Pollock, who emigrated to Australia from England with his family in 2011, was riding at his first meeting in May 2024 when he won the Boolooroo Moree Picnic Cup on Peak Road for trainer Peter Sinclair. Celebrating 100 years of racing at Mungery, a big crowd on Sunday
14 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 10 October 2024
saw a very good ride by Arthur Pollock to win the 1750 metres Mungery Picnic Cup on Pacific Warrior. In what eventually proved to be a winning move, Pollock dashed his mount to the lead from the heavily-backed, $3 favourite Dancing In The Sky well before the home turn and Pacific Warrior ($3.20) then held off the strong-finishing Cafe Award (Leandro Ribeiro, $5.50) to win by a length, with over two lengths to the third-placed Nevada Showgirl (Todd Bailey, $8.50). Completing a double for Nikki Pollock and Arthur Pollock, One Command ($2.40) won the 1200 metres
Class B Handicap by two lengths from the leader, Parnassus (Zara Lewis, $6), and Keep Ya Promise (Izzy Neale, $2.30 fav). Trained at Cobar by Wayne Prisk, Mr Pointer ($4.40), ridden by Narromine-based Ricky Blewitt, led throughout to win the feature sprint, the 1000 metres Trophy Handicap from Billy Bent Ear (Leandro Ribeiro, $3 equal fav) and Anini (Todd Bailey, $3.80). Winner of 19 races and placed 43 times from 155 starts, the gallant 12-year-old Billy Bent Ear finished gamely to be beaten by a half length. Purchased recently by Gilgandra jockey Zara Lewis to become a
show jumper, the fiveyear -old mare Night To Remember ($13), after a length-of-the-straight battle with Kingsway (Izzy Neale, $3.20 equal favourite), prevailed by a neck, with the other equal favourite, Too Casual (Arthur Pollock), finishing third. “I was planning to take Night To Remember home after today for show jumping, but will probably now leave her with Forbes trainer Peter Kirby for a few more starts,” said the winning jockey, Zara Lewis. Dubbo trainer Connie Greig, who is likely to play a big role at the Coonamble Cup TAB meeting next Sunday with numerous starters
in the $50,000 Picnic Championship Final, had a winning double at Mungery with Real Salty and Rebel Love. Given a perfect run behind the leader by Leandro Ribeiro, Real Salty ($2.80 fav) won the 800 metres Class 3 Handicap from Redline (Zara Lewis, $3) and Individualist (Todd Bailey, $3.50). Running third turning for home in the Class B Handicap, Rebel Love (Leandro Ribeiro, $6.50) finished best to score by a length from impressive debut maker Unreliable Critic (Arthur Pollock, $2.10 fav) and A Tender Lady (Zara Lewis, $8).

Biodiversity project expands as Schwager family joins initiative Landcare Australia, in its ongoing partnership with Country Road, has expanded The Biodiversity Project, which has already received $1 million in funding to deliver biodiversity restoration projects across Australian family-owned cotton farms. The latest to join the initiative is the Schwager family, whose 550-hectare dryland farming property along the Namoi River, is the fifth site to benefit from the program and will support biodiversity outcomes for threatened species along 2.8 km of riparian and floodplain habitat on the Namoi River. The project will involve planting shrubs, understory, and canopy species to protect natural habitats and threatened species. Owned by Kevin and Mary-Ellen Schwager, the property known as ‘Wentworth’ is a 550-hectare dryland farming operation between Narrabri and Wee Waa. As with previous projects, this site has been identified as an area of interest for biodiversity enhancement for a range of threatened species in research findings from the report, ‘Management of Biodiversity in the Cotton Landscape: Iconic and Threatened Species’ developed by the Cotton Research and Development Corporation with support from the Australian government’s National Landcare Smart Farming Partnerships Initiative.

Six new councillors for Moree Plains Moree Plains Shire Council will see six new councillors sworn into their positions following last month’s local government election. Final results from the recent poll were declared last week following the distribution of preferences. Group A candidate and previous deputy mayor Susannah Pearse and candidate Wayne Tighe were elected at the first count as they had reached quota while the remaining seven positions were determined by preferences.

Be alert this bushfire season, says NSW Farmers Farming communities across NSW are encouraged to stay alert to fire risks as the state’s rural Bush Fire Danger Period begins this month. NSW Farmers Rural Affairs Committee member Garry Grant said the danger period is set to be in force until at least March 31, with landholders urged to remain vigilant for fire risks across the entire period. “Farmers have made sure they’re well prepared for this bushfire season, but it’s time now for everyone to be on guard and ready to respond to fires that could strike at any time,” Mr Grant said.
“If you’re planning on lighting an open fire anytime soon, it’s also critical that you seek a Fire Permit and notify your local fire authorities and neighbours well before you burn. “Awareness, preparedness and communication will be key to stopping bushfires in their tracks this summer, so we can all stay safe.” Residents in rural communities across the state are also encouraged to prepare themselves for this year’s bushfire season, Mr Grant said, with a few simple measures critical to ensuring safety during a bushfire event.
IS IT TIME FOR A NEW COOLING SYSTEM?
“Downloading the Hazards Near Me NSW app is an easy way to stay up to date with fires that are in your region or other regions if you’re travelling around the state this summer,” Mr Grant said. “Having an emergency plan in place in case a fire approaches your home or property is also important, as is ensuring you’ve got clean gutters, trimmed trees and a cleared area around your home. “Bushfires always spread faster than we think they will, so it’s better to be safe than sorry.” Information on bushfire safety is available from the NSW RFS.

Schwager family is the fifth to support The Biodiversity Project Continued from front page
Stacey Vogel, the innovation broker and extension lead with Cotton Research and Development Corporation confirmed the benefits that The Biodiversity Project bring not only to the environment but also to farmers. “These projects are restoring regionally important threatened species habitats and improving native vegetation connectivity within the Namoi catchment,” Ms Vogel said. “We know from our research that well managed areas of native vegetation on farm bring benefits not only for iconic and threatened species but also to the farm by providing natural pest control, improving soil health and storing and sequestering carbon.” Since 2020, Landcare Australia and Country Road have worked together to support the restoration of Australian farmlands, with a focus on increasing biodiversity in cotton-growing regions. Since 2020, Country Road has provided over $1 million of funding to the program, raised through brand contributions and sales of its famous Verified Australian Cotton Heritage Sweat. Landcare Australia CEO Dr Shane Norrish said that this level of funding provides Landcare Australia with the means to deliver multiple biodiversity projects across local farming landscapes. “Throughout our partnership with Country Road, Landcare Australia has worked with five Australian farming families to plant 18,300 seedlings along 14.4 km of riverbank in the Namoi Valley, rehabilitating a total of 102.6 hectares of native vegetation,” Dr Norrish said. “Together with Country Road, our work on The Biodiversity Project is achieving our shared vision to improve biodiversity and habitat connectivity, support threatened, vulnerable and iconic fauna species while also providing farming co-benefits.” Kevin Schwager said being a part of The Biodiversity Project enables his family to play a part in making a meaningful, responsible impact on both the environment and community. “Through The Biodiversity Project, we wish to demonstrate that we are responsible custodians of our land. We want to show that

There is keen interest from our grandchildren about what we do on the farms. They love the crops, the machinery and the family barbecues by the river. “Consumers are becoming more interested and discerning about where their food and clothes are coming from. “As farmers, we wish to be outward looking and thinking, we need to respond to a changing marketplace. Being involved with The Biodiversity Project allows us to play a part in societal change.” A mix of shrubs, understory and canopy species will be planted, specifically to increase habitat for browsing and wildlife movement along the riparian corridor; increase the presence of pollinators, small birds and micro bats in the area; and increase native vegetation and canopy cover across the riparian and floodplain zone at Wentworth to help support ecosystems in the Namoi River catchment. The Schwager project involves planting 4000 native seedlings on 43 hectares. These locally sourced natives, including River Red Gums, casuarina species and shrubs such as sweet bursaria, will increase habitat for wildlife along the riparian corridor. Readers will be familiar with The Biodiversity Project through the participation of local families including the Kahls (Wee Waa), the Watsons (Boggabri), the Hamparsums (Gunnedah) and the Pursehouses (Breeza).

Renovated BAMM reopened in Moree The Bank Art Museum Moree (BAMM), Moree Plains’ home of one of the largest collections of Aboriginal art in regional NSW, has reopened offering an enhanced visitor experience after renovations. The renovations included updates to the exhibition spaces, improved external lighting, and enhanced accessibility features, making it easier for visitors to experience the art. Moree Plains Shire general manager Kelvin Tytherleigh welcomed the enhancements for this improved space. “Having an accessible walkway and landing to the front entrance of BAMM is something we are proud of as accessibility in the Moree CBD is something we are working hard on improving,” Mr Tytherleigh said. “We want to reduce the barriers to accessibility for better inclusion for people.” One of the new features of the building includes the modification and repurposing of the timber entrance doors, which have been automated. The previously carpeted exhibition spaces have also received a modern facelift, with the aging floor coverings replaced with vinyl
planks. With a complete replacement of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system (HVAC) the new climate control system will provide greater temperature and humidity control of the exhibition areas and critical artwork storerooms. Council has thanked interim director Bruce Tindale for his dedication to BAMM and for providing a unique experience for visitors to still explore exhibitions at the pop-up gallery in the Chandelier Ballroom of the Max Centre while works were undertaken. Council also acknowledged the contributions of the BAMM board and staff for their collaboration and support throughout the design and delivery process. With the appointment of a new BAMM director, Rosie Dennis, art enthusiasts will be able to continue to admire exhibitions, educational programs and community events held at BAMM. The improvements to BAMM have been made possible through funding by the Australian government through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program ($860,000) and co-contribution by Moree Plains Shire Council ($392,259).
The acclaimed Bank Art Museum Moree (BAMM) has reopened after a period of closure for renovations to enhance the visitor experience.
Final asphalt layer for Mungindi tennis project The final layer of asphalt has been laid forming the playing surface of the new multipurpose courts and vibrant line marking has been completed for the community of Mungindi ahead of the October long weekend 100th anniversary celebration of Mungindi Tennis.

Netball enthusiasts and local school children will also have the opportunity to play outdoors on the new high-quality multipurpose courts, which will serve as a vital hub for community
engagement, health, youth and intergenerational connections. Moree Plains Shire director of infrastructure John Dyer announced the completion of the courts. “It has been a priority to rebuild this vital community asset and we are delighted to have completed stage one of the project, for all to enjoy,” he said. The multipurpose courts consist of four tennis courts and two netball courts, with stage two comprising the installation of permanent fencing, final landscaping and a Tennis Australia compliant playing surface will be laid (weather conditions permitting). Council has thanked the
Mungindi community for their patience and the countless volunteers who have assisted us in delivering the project. The majority of work was completed by local contractors,

Planting underway Coulton calls for extension to funding program round across cotton growing regions Planting is underway across much of Australia’s cotton growing regions with some crops already out of the ground in warmer climates, some growers holding back for warmer weather while some in tropical areas won’t be planting until rain begins to fall. Cotton Australia general manager Michael Murray said the signs for this season are positive with Australia’s 1500 cotton growers, 90 per cent of them family farmers, expecting to generate around 4.4 million bales or one million tonnes of quality fibre, bound for export markets and a similar amount of cotton seed. “This year we are expecting about 400,000 green hectares to be planted, predominantly in New South Wales and Queensland with crops also being planted in the Northern Territory and Western Australia,” Mr Murray said. “A result in line with expectations will see more than $3.1 billion generated for the national economy with most of that money filtering down into the 249 communities that benefit directly from cotton growing.” Cotton planting usually occurs in early October in the core growing areas, but with a wide range of geographic areas now growing cotton, planting dates are widespread. The global outlook for cotton is stable with a recent uptick in cotton futures attributed to potential damage to the US crop due to storms and heavy rain and a surprise reduction to US production forecasts. “Despite the global situation we are still selling our cotton to a market wanting high quality product and we are experiencing good buyer support from across Asia including China,” Mr Murray said. “Our growers remain positive on this season’s crop with good conditions including soil profiles, moisture content and water allocations and for most the current price still reflects a profitable outcome with all its flow-on benefits.” In the Central Highlands of Queensland, where growers have the option of starting to plant as early as August 1, planting is well underway with some growers already witnessing healthy plant growth as crops emerge from the ground. Emerald grower and the chair of the Cotton Australia board, Nigel Burnett, said with carryover from last season and a welcome allocation from Fairbairn Dam, growers are confident. “We had unseasonal rainfall in August and that enabled a good chunk of the area to be moisture planted, saving farmers from the initial flush-up irrigation and
those crops are now out of the ground and looking very good. “Since planting, the conditions have been warming up and growers are confident about the prospects for the season at this stage. “I have planted more than 700 hectares so far and if there’s more rainfall over the coming weeks and months, I would look at planting more cotton into late October, November or even December.” Cotton Australia’s regional managers, based in each of the cotton growing regions, have provided up to date reports on each region as of September 27: Central Highlands Cotton planting has been underway for several weeks with cotton already out of the ground in some areas with some growers already undertaking first irrigations. The cotton is looking healthy, pleasing growers with plant stand looking strong. The planting conditions were so good, as many got to plant on rain and it’s been so warm that plants were coming out of the ground within days. Around 20,000 hectares of irrigated cotton is expected with around 4000 hectares of dryland. Ginning will continue through to November, with some cotton still being carted into the gin from northern QLD growers. Dawson and Callide Valleys Some growers have started planting the expected 8500 hectares of irrigated cotton with some already finished planting, while others will plant in October. Dryland growers are expected to plant in November. There has been a good start to planting with full allocations helping growers with a positive start to the cotton season. Darling Downs One grower has already planted 400 hectares of cotton for this coming season with 30,000 hectares of irrigated and 5000 hectares of dryland expected. Some recent rain has been welcomed but the weather is cooler so most growers will hold off planting until warmer temperatures in October. Macintyre Valley In the Macintyre, growers will be looking to start planting after the long weekend when soil temperatures increase. Growers are expected to plant about 20,000 hectares irrigated and 8000 hectares dryland. There has been recent rainfall but this won’t affect cotton plant at the moment. St George/Dirranbandi/ Mungindi Conditions have been unusual with below average temperatures.
In St George one grower has already planted 350 hectares of cotton with the majority expected to begin planting by the 7th of October. In St George 22,000 hectares of cotton is expected to be grown with 15,000 hectares in Dirranbandi and 18,000 hectares in Mungindi. Northern NSW There has been some minor rainfall which has been welcomed by growers. Generally speaking, growers are getting ready for planting which will start in the first two weeks of October. The Valleys would like some more rainfall however soil profiles beneath the surface are satisfactory. Bourke is expecting to plant 9000 hectares of cotton this season. Walgett 8000 irrigated and up to 8000 for dryland. Lower Namoi is around 25,000 dryland and 30,000 irrigated with Upper Namoi expecting 15,000 irrigated and 17,000 dryland, Gwydir 45,000 hectares irrigated and 33,000 dryland. Macquarie Valley There has been some rainfall recent but not significant with some growers pre-watering and planting expected to start for most growers from the 18th of October onwards. This has been a different season with one grower picking the last of their cotton crop as others plan to start planting for the 25 season. Ginning is still going but is expected to end at the end of October. Close to 30,000 hectares is expected to be planted in the Macquarie Valley. Southern NSW Up to 25ml of rain has fallen recently in the area and some growers have already started planting this week but the majority will start planting in early to mid-October. Around 85,000 hectares is expected to be planted this season with growers hopeful of a good season. Northern Australia Up to 80mm of rain has fallen recently in parts of the Top End and temperatures are up around 40 degrees. Crop destruction is underway and will continue into October. The planting window opens in the Northern Territory on December 1 and can continue into January depending on the tropical rain system. In Kununurra planting is expected in February with 8000 hectares expected to go in and 18,000 hectares expected in the NT.
Councils across the Parkes electorate could miss out on a vital federal community infrastructure funding opportunity due to the unfortunate timing of applications falling during the local government election caretaker period. Applications for Round 2 of the Growing Regions Program – the largest grant funding opportunity for our regional communities – opened on September 5, 2024, when New South Wales councils were already in caretaker mode ahead of local government elections on September 14. Applications are due to close next Thursday, October 10, before many local councils have even had a chance to meet following the release of election results. Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton is calling on the Labor government to extend the deadline, to allow our councils time to get applications in for much-needed capital works projects. “Local councils are the predominant applicant for the Growing Regions Program which offers large funding grants for infrastructure projects such as libraries, parks, multi-purpose community centres and sports facilities,” Mr Coulton said. “In Round 1, four of the five recipients in the Parkes electorates were councils. “For the Labor government to open grant applications for round two when councils cannot apply is just incomprehensible. “Local government elections happen once every four years in New South Wales, and it is inexcusable that the Labor government would restrict applications to a time when councils cannot meet and authorise the lodgement of projects that will provide so many community benefits. “Labor has already been starving the regions of funding, so to then restrict councils from applying for one of the very few regional grants available is further proof that this government has zero regard for those of us in the bush. “To top it off, round one recipients are still waiting to see the

funding that was promised them back in May. It’s now October and not one dollar has hit the ground - two years after the Growing Regions Program was first announced. “These projects are ready and waiting to go ahead but can’t without a funding agreement. “This is frankly not good enough and just goes to show that Labor can’t deliver for the regions.” The Nationals’ candidate for Parkes Jamie Chaffey said the decision to open the Growing Regions Program during this period completely denies rural, regional and remote councils in New South Wales from making decisions and prevents them from submitting bids for important community infrastructure projects. “I’ve been non-stop travelling around the electorate over the past three weeks and everywhere I go, communities are calling out for funding for projects that will improve the liveability of their towns,” Mr Chaffey said. “Many of these projects have been in the pipeline for years, but they haven’t had the opportunity to apply for funding since Labor has been in government. “Considering this is the final round of the Growing Regions Program before the next election, newly-elected councillors will have no opportunity to contribute to projects and will potentially be saddled with ‘hangover’ projects they will need to fund and deliver. “Federal Local Government Minister Catherine King, who is also the Infrastructure and Regional Development Minister, should know when the local government elections are held in New South Wales, so this feels like a slap in the face for regional councils and a total disregard for rural, regional and remote communities. “Councils in New South Wales are under financial strain and without the support of the other two tiers of government, simply can’t deliver for their communities. They’re relying on the support of the federal government to make their budget stretch further.” NORTH WEST

The centre's director, Dr Debbie Eagles, said she could not rule out more strains popping up. But she hoped the current farm outbreaks would be contained via the strict biosecurity protocols that were now in place. Meanwhile, Australia was also braced for the possible arrival of another very dangerous strain that has caused mass mortality of farmed poultry but also wildlife around the globe. It is feared the H5 highly pathogenic strain could hit Australia as soon as spring as migratory birds arrive.

mammals such as elephant seals and sea lions but it has also been found in commercial herds, including dairy cows and the milk they produce. Dr Wong said there had been human cases of H5 in the United States but all were linked to people that had close contact with diseased animals. "The virus is still not adapted to infection in humans," he said. "All of the infections have been from close contact with infected birds or livestock. People involved in outbreak control are aware of this and take appropriate precautions. "Also, these infections have been very mild ... most of the infections linked to the dairy herds have been like conjunctivitis or red eye." Both experts said Australia's National Avian Influenza Wild Bird Surveillance Program had been critical in unravelling what was happening in Australia with the H7 strains, and would also be invaluable in detecting H5's arrival.

In 2018, Christian ‘Chippy’ Petersen had what he called ‘a light bulb moment’ while he was watching a mentary about the BackTrack docuYouth Works Program established in Armidale. The program’s founder Bernie Shakeshaft was named the 2020 Australian Local Hero for his outstanding role with the community-led organisation and for turning around the lives of some of the country’s most vulnerable kids. After seeing the plight of disadvantaged youth in his community, Bernie decided to take action. Starting in 2006 with a shed and an idea, used the skills he developed Bernie growing up and as a jackaroo in the Northern Territory learning from the Aboriginal trackers to develop the award-winning program that uses animal-assisted learning, agricultural skills and a residential facility. Bernie and his amazing team have helped more than 1000 children reconnect with their education, ing, families, and community, traingiving them a sense of belonging. “You don’t hear many people talk about their’ calling’ anymore, riously, anyway,” said Chippy. not se“But for me, after watching that documentary, I knew that if I ever had the chance to be involved in something like that, I’d do what I could to make it happen.
