The luncheon and other special goodies were a way to recognise the dedication shown by the employees at Cooinda.

Cooinda CEO, Leanne Redfern said she was thankful every day for the wonderful staff at Cooinda and each year on this day everyone takes some special time out to enjoy and celebrate with each other.

“They are all as important as each other and I am sure that they would all join me in saying that we are proud to work for Cooinda and feel privileged to be able to serve our older generation.”

Chairman of the Cooinda board, Maria Deep also visited for lunch with Cooinda staff to celebrate the dedication of all the employees who help care for and support residents and community clients.

Coona Times looks for next owner In a decision that has taken many people by surprise, long-time owners of the Coonabarabran Times, Lynne and Max Estens, have announced the newspaper is up for sale.

The Estens family has been an integral part of the weekly publication for over 45 years, with Max commencing an apprenticeship as a compositor with the masthead in 1978, with wife, Lynne, joining the newsroom 20 years later.

The decision to place the business on the market has been a difficult choice for the local couple, however, sadly health concerns have forced their hand ear lier than they had anticipated.

The Coonabarabran T imes holds a special place in the hearts of the local communit y, p rovid i ng ti mel y and accurate news coverage for the region since its i nception a l mos t 10 0 years ago.

T h r o u g h t h e n e w s p a p e r, Ly n n e and Max have helped foster a strong sense of community by reporting on local news, events, and human - interest stories.

“Ma x and I have poured our hear ts and souls into the Coonabarabran Times,” Lynne said.

“It’s been an

incredible journey, but we feel the time is right to pass on the torch to someone who can carry on the legacy and bring fresh perspectives to the publication.”

The couple’s dedication to regional m e d i a h a s n ot g o n e unnoticed, securing a prestigious award win at the NSW Country Press Conference as recently as last year.

Under their leadership, the paper has evolved to emb race digital platforms while retaining its pr int presence, ensur ing that readers of all generations can access local news.

Like all small towns, the sale has sparked curiosity about who might step forward to take the reins of this local institution, as well as wattle magazine a n d t h e co m m e rc i a l print operation.

The E stens fami ly is actively seek ing i nd ivid ua l s o r g roups who a re commit ted to upholding the newspaper’s values and maintaining its role as a vital source of information and connection for the Warrumbungle Shire.

said.

“The suppor t we’ve received from our re a d e r s , a d ve r t i s e r s , and fellow community members has been nothing short of remarkable.

Bringing the army to you: ADF bus visits Coona On Wednesday, 2 August, Coonabarabran High School (CHS) students were visited by the Australian Defence Force’s (ADF) new mobile careers centre.

by JIMMY WHALAN T he ‘ M ACC ’ – or Mobi le A DF Ca reers Centre – is the ADF ’s n e w, s p a c i o u s b u s , designed to visit regional communities and encourage students to consider one of over 250 roles in the ADF. This program m a r k s t h e M A C C ’s inaug u ra l tou r, w ith C H S s t udent s b ei n g just the th i rd g r oup t o have been v isit ed by the bus, following programs in Coonamble and Walgett.

Described by national o p e r at i o n s m a n a g e r o f t he A DF C a r e er s Centre, Nicole Jordan, as an “office on wheels”, t h e M AC C pr o v id e s students with an interactive experience to discover the variety of opportunities available through the ADF, test assessments, and even p er s on a l it y t e s t s t o help determi ne what roles might suit certain individuals.

Mobile coordinator, Paul Mitchell said one

of the ma i n goa ls of the MACC is to engage students to help them realise their own potential.

“It’s about planting the seed for people who may not have considered a career in the military before.”

Another goal of the MACC is to connect with students to help dispel common misconceptions about the military that may prevent them from wanting to join. “ You’re not signing your life away by joining the military, it’s not just about war,” Mr Mitchell said.

A lot of the military’s work i s fo c u s s e d on huma n ita r ia n a nd c om mu n it y ef for t s , helping t o suppor t communities in need; for example, disaster rel ief – by send i ng resources and providing other services.

Mr Mitchell said that taking on a career in the military also provides a u n ique hybr id of vocational training and study.

“ There are so many different roles available, and it is an opportunity to have a career where your education is paid for.”

CHS careers advisor, Heather F rew in said the program was well received by students, with several even reconsider i ng thei r futures to pursue their tertiary studies through the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA). “ It created a lot of conversation amongst st udent s a nd help e d

t o c l e a r up a l o t o f misconceptions people h ave ab out c a r e er s i n the m i l it a r y,” M s Frewin said.

“Many didn’t realise how much spor t was involved in the military and how you can even pursue your sporting career dreams through the military.”

With over 50 students from Years 7-12 having visited the MACC, Ms F r e w i n s a id t h at it was a very worthwhile experience for students to help them on their

journeys to their dream career.

Indigenous pathways The ADF also offers a variety of pathways for Indigenous students to strive to their career goa ls i nclud i ng the Indigenous Pre-Recruit Program (IPRP).

The IPRP is a paid, s even-we ek pr og r a m designed to help successful applicants build their confidence, fitness, and resilience before pursuing their careers in the ADF.

The program is triservice, meaning it is not specific to the Navy, Army, or Air Force.

Fo c u s s e d on t h r e e keys areas – physical f itness, character development, and cultural appreciation – the goal of this cou rse is t o ensu re that participants have the skills, knowledge, and conf idence to move for wa rd i nt o a s u c c e s s f u l f u l l - t i me career in the ADF. O ther I nd igenous pathways through the

ADF include Indigenous Development programs through both the Army and Nav y, which a re five-and-a-half month residential prog rams for young Indigenous adu lt s who m ay b e challenged in reading, writing, or fitness, but wish to pursue a career in the ADF. The program seeks to help young Indigenous Australians move into full-time positions with the ADF, and they will be paid for the duration of the course.

32 years for Gulgong murder The Bright family from Gulgong, south of Dunedoo, finally have justice more than 24 years after the murder of teenager, Michelle Bright.

Earlier this year, 56-year-old Craig Rumsby was found guilty of murdering the Year 11 student. Her body was discovered in long grass in March 1999, just days after she was last seen alive.

On Monday, 7 August, Rumsby faced NSW Supreme Court in Dubbo, where he was also sentenced for the attempted choking with intent to have sexual intercourse with another 18-year-old in Gulgong in January of 1998.

Rumsby was sentenced to 32 years in jail with a non-parole period of 24 years.

He will be eligible for release in August 2044.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Veterans Day / Long Tan Day falls on Friday, 18 August 2023. This year, Vietnam Veteran Leslie J. Baynham has organised a very special Day of remembrance, commemoration and reunions at Coolah.

On this day 57 years ago, one of Coolah’s young lads was killed in the Battle of Long Tan, in Vietnam. This lad was Paul Andrew Large.

The day at Coolah will commence with a Dawn Service at 6am at the Ggraveside of Trooper William Keain, 131 First Australian Light Horse.

Born 2 May 1891, he

is oldest Digger in the Coolah Cemetery. The grave is located on the northern edge of the Anglican section.

The main service will be held at 11am at the Vietnam Memorial, corner of Martin and Hospital Streets, Coolah.

This memorial was planted after the funeral of Private Paul Andrew Large on 7 September 1966. I believe this memorial to be one of the first Vietnam memorials in Australia.

There will be 18 ladies carrying 18 Australian flags commemorating the 18 Diggers that made

the ultimate sacrifice in the Battle of Long Tan, with the guest speaker leading the march.

After the completion of the main service, a lunch will be held for all invited returned service men and women, their spouses and honoured guests.

Coolah’s war widows are also invited to attend the lunch. The Piper will pipe the honoured guests into the hall for the commencement of the lunch.

Yours etc., Leslie Baynham Coolah 2843 (29.07.2023)

Rally against Santos On Saturday, 12 August, a rally and road trip will be held in the Pilliga as local Gomeroi people fight for the protection of land, water, and climate.

by JIMMY WHALAN Meeti ng at N ei l son Park, Coonabarabran, near the Yarning Circle at 9.30am, a Welcome to Country and introductions will be held, after which the mobile rally will depart through to X-Line Road for short information sessions and cultural talks.

This event has been organised for the day after the appeal ca se ag a i n s t Sa ntos’ proposed 850 gas wells, w h ich w i l l be held i n the Queensland Federal Court from Wednesday to Fr iday, 9-11 August 2023.

Local Gamilaroi

woman, Suellyn Tighe said the rally and road trip had been organised to show the huge amount of support there is for saving the Pilliga, w i t h p e o p l e co m i n g from Sydney and across Australia to show their support.

T h e P i l l i g a F o r e s t, being the southern recharge zone for the G re at A r tes i a n B a s i n and home to a unique va r i et y of p l a nt a n d animal species, holds great environmental and cultural significance.

Ms Tighe said with Santos’ 850 proposed gas wells potentially going to destroy one fifth of this area, the hope is to hold

short information sessions about the dangers of the project and to really show people what makes the Pilliga so important.

“We want people to see and experience the Pilliga for themselves, to raise more awareness and encourage people to speak up,” Ms Tighe said.

These i nfo r mation sessions will be focussed on topics including salts, the toxic chemicals used in the extraction process, the threat of bushfires, as well as cultural talks on the significance of the Pilliga.

After the information sessions and lunch at X-Line Road, attendees

have the option of continuing on to Narrabri where there will be a gather ing from 3 pm meeting at the Crossing Theatre carpark, with plans to march to the Santos office.

Following the events of the day, all members of the Coonabarabran communit y a re al so welcomed to attend a night of stargazing at Coonabarabran Airport from 8pm on Saturday night, hosted by Donna the A st ronome r fo r a low fee. Participants are welcomed to bring their own telescopes if they have one.

Prices were generally mixed – heavier lambs performed better than light lambs and sheep. The Trade lamb indicator rose 10¢/ kg cwt to 485¢/ kg cwt, with a strong offering at Dubbo, the largest contr ibutor to the indicator and trading a 70¢/kg cwt premium

T he s k i n s m a rke t has eased, with X-bred sheep now being charged disposal fees at several processors. According to the NLRS National S k i n s R ep or t , t her e has been a considerable

easing in the price of lamb sheepskins and a cessation of payments for X-bred sheep, though Merino sheepskins are still attracting 935¢/ skin.

Lamb slaughter rose 9.5% from last week to 4 07,816 , while sheep slaughter was up 15% to 131,272 head. Sheep and lamb slaughter are both well above already high 2022 figures, as supply ramps up and demand remains high.

Exports July export data has been released, showing exports continuing their str ong pace i nt o the second half of 2023.

Beef exports were up 4% from June and up 30% from July 2022 to total 97,306 tonnes. The USA was the largest

Coonabarabran Kookas major semi-final home game: Saturday, 5 August

Luke, Alby and Chris Mack celebrate the Kookas’s major semi-final win.

VIEW CLUB NEWS We we r e t old t o bring our ‘happy feet’ to our August meeting.

W hy? B e cause we were remembering the late Tina Turner, and what better way than performing the Nutbush dance to her rendition.

T hose who were able (most of us) were able to keep up with the fast beat – it was great fun.

J u n e M cW h i r t e r ’s words of wisdom on our last ‘bulletin’ were: “Keep reaching for the stars, but don’t forget to keep your feet firmly on

the ground.”

P resident , Ca roly n Fretwell again welcomed a new member, Janette Barkley, and was able to proudly pin Janette’s badge on her that night.

Spe cia l bi r thd ay wishes went out to Nancy Wiese who celebrated a big ‘0’ on 2 August.

A cheque for the Driver Reviver shifts from the last school holidays was gratefully received. Bev Rayner was pleased that 1080 visitors called in for a tea or coffee during that time. Wel l done

Kookas’ fans, Tanya and Greg Jerry cheered the lads on to a win.

Tim and Ellen Griffiths travelled from Mudgee to watch the Kookas score a spot in the grand final.

Kookas’ player Nick Wham was cheered on by his girlfriend, Emily Matthews.

Watching the Kookas v Wellington game were soon-to-be parents, Claire Salter and Ben Douglas.

Bev and Lynne and the volunteers.

Quite a bit of planning has already gone into our next fund-raiser called ‘The Coona Edge Garden Crawl’ in October. These plans will be finalized next meeting.

T he Coona Club received praises for the b e aut i f u l me a l t hey served – lots of empty plates and happy faces at the end of the night.

Still needing to keep warm.

VICTORY IN THE PACIFIC DAY: 15 AUGUST 1945

Remembering local lives lost On 15 August, Australians will remember Victory in the Pacific Day. Victory over the Japanese in 1945 was celebrated far and wide in all towns and villages surrounding the Coonabarabran area. Local families, many still here or with strong connections still, had suffered loss of family.

by MICK ESTENS The fight against the Japanese military had not been an honourable o n e, w i t h a t r o c i t i e s , murder massacres and torture by the Japanese military turning a strong Australian nation into a fighting force that had to step up to the line and go into battle to save our very own country.

After VP Day in 1945,

local families were soon facing hard facts about their missing loved ones that were pr isoners of wa r (POW) at t h e hands of the Japanese.

Australians under Japanese control in captivity struggled and at times had their dignity taken while facing death from starvation, beatings or execution daily.

Many years later those t h a t s u r v i ve d f a c e d

agonising challenges; those lucky enough to get back to their country bore the scars of physical and mental abuse until their dying days.

Of the 22,000 captured Aussie troops, 8000 died in captivity. Out of 2500 POW at Sandakan, Borneo, only six survived death towards the end of the War. The Japanese released very little information on

thei r POWs and used deceitful techniques to confuse the Australia Gove r n ment, m i l ita r y and loved ones.

The Mudgee Guardian repo r ted i n its pape r on 27 November 1944 that Mrs Ron Sanson, of Coonabarabran, had been told her husband was missing following a sunken Japanese ship.

Four Coona lads were mentioned in this report,

Australian War Memorial

Coona to observe VP and Vietnam Veterans Days Next Tuesday, 15 August, at 11am, the Coonabarabran RSL Sub-Branch will assemble and commemorate Victory in the Pacific and Vietnam Veterans’ Day in a short ceremony at the Memorial Swimming Pool, with all invited to share with in this commemoration.

Across the Allied world of the day, even in Britain and Europe, but arguably more greatly felt in our country, the US, Canada, China and south-east Asia, was the sense of relief in the cessation of hostilities in World War ll. The end of war brought about a great sense of euphoria at the enormous release of tension with the news on 15 August in Australia, 14 August in the US, that Japan h ad u n c o n d i t i o n a l l y surrendered.

The Wikipedia entry on this subject is worth a read; it seems there was a lot of kissing going on – across the States, at least!

And, of course, there is the famous picture of the sailor and a dental nurse in Times Square.

Most of us older ones would have had relatives telling us how it was. After six years of war, the great release from the tension and hardship experienced over that time, the threat of death ever y where, but p a r t i c u l a rl y f o r service people deployed to our north, was now expectantly gone.

However, despite that

expectation, death did still occur at the hands of the enemy after the surrender; the most chilling being orders for the death of 2000 or so prisoners at Batu Lintang camp in Borneo, but, fortunately, the Allies liberated that prison four days earlier than the order date of 15 September 1945. Many Japanese used ‘hari-kari’ to end their lives, a most unfortunate response by a desperate but proud enemy.

A few of our still living veterans, that includes our RSL Sub-Branch patron, Bill Wilkin, remember such a time.

O n d i s pl ay i n t he Australian War Memorial is a red, white and blue jumper knitted and worn on the day by Lois Anne Martin. On the cheeks and forehead of the lady in question on the day are written the letters, ‘VP’. The jumper typifies the display of excitement, and relief that the war was over.

The march of technology certainly brought this war to a close as there is no doubt about the role of the atomic bomb. What a pity

two bombs were needed to bring Japan to the point of surrender.

Figures appear to vary about Australia’s losses in WWII, so I will quote the Australian Bureau of Statistics that states Australia lost 34,0 0 0 service personnel, total battle casualties were 72,814 and over 31,000 Australian became prisoners-of-war. Of these, more than 22,000 were captured by the Japanese and by August 1945, over one third of them had died in the appalling conditions of the prisoner-of-war camps.

It seems, particularly in the light of current world affairs, that conflict r e g u l a rly o c c u r s . I n recent times, the intent of communism has been rev isited in the news somewhat, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute giving clear and open warning regarding the C h i n e s e C o m mu n i s t Party’s influence in civil institutions. While that is recent news, Australia was involved in resisting Communism in Korea, the Malayan Emergency, the Indonesian Confrontation

and then joining five other nations in the Vietnam War. This year, on 3 August, marks 61 years since the longest serving unit in the Vietnam War, the Australian Army Training Team Vietnam, entered the war and 50 years since the withdrawal (11 January) of Australian involvement.

The date of the Battle of Long Tan, a rubber plantation near the Nui Dat base for the 6th Task Force, where Delta Company battled against a major enemy force in the midst of a thunderstorm, is the date selected for this day of commemoration.

For convenience, Coonabarabran RSL SubBranch will combine these two services next Tuesday, 15 August.

Australia’s losses in Vietnam were 523 killed i n a c t io n , a nd 2 4 0 0 wounded of 60,000 who served.

We salute their service.

Lest we forget.

The four families had been notified by the Australian Militar y the boys were “missing bel i eved decea sed”.

It would have been a shock to the town when four families received the same news about local men.

The only lad who was wrongfully reported at the time was Chris Dowd, who was reported much later as a POW in Tokyo o n 14 M a y 194 5, b ut had died of illness by 27 September 1945 – a month after the war had ended.

Russell Wotton, from ‘Hiddendale’ Binnaway, went missing in Malaya in 1942 and was reported a s a J a p a n e s e P OW in 1943; then no news until he was found in a Japanese POW camp in Niihama, Japan, in September 1945. His wife was told he had survived on 12 September.

The Rogers family at Baradine were notified that Joseph Rogers had been killed as a POW a t S a n d a ka n C a m p, Borneo, on 17 June 1945, Cl a rence Fl em m i ng’s family found out about his death on 17 April 1945 – both notifications being after the end of the War. Private Ron Sullivan’s fami ly at Pur lewaugh found out he had been killed in a rice-carrying party, walking the death march at Sandakan. Ron was killed by a Japanese guard while protecting a mate from being savagely beaten.

Local Coonabarabran butcher, Boysie Harper was stationed in Darwin at t h e t i m e w i t h t h e RAAF and was part of the hug e crowd that met the hospital ship as it docked at the wharf.

Boysie found Coona and district friends, as did men from other parts of the country.

A lot of the walking wounded were “kidnapped” and taken on beach picnics, fishing, dances, films,

sight seeing and drinking at pubs. Aussie lads back home safe and sound.

After a few days rest the ship sailed for Sydney and Melbourne, where most of the sick and injured were sent to military hospitals before being discharged back into civilian life.

Now, 78 yea r s later from when the Japanese Emperor sur rendered, we re m e m b e r fa m i l y and friends that served in WW2 from our district.

Co n s i d e r o u r s e l ve s lucky that a great nation of men and women fought for Australia in a war where the Pacific theatre did get to Australian shores with b o m b e d tow n s r i g ht across the top end.

We live on and respect the legacy that those that served and suffered during war left us. A time to reflect on how lucky we are.

Men’s Shed sailing WORD for WORD the Murray Adventure awaits a group of Queensland men from the Pittsworth and District Men’s Shed, as their “Shed Down the Murray,” project aims to raise awareness on prostate cancer.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The “Shed Down The Murray,” project entails members of the Pittsworth Men’s Shed floating down the Murray-Darling River on a hand-made raft, sharing facts about prostate cancer along their journey from Queensland to Victoria.

The raft is being towed down the Newell Highway, stopping off at other Men’s Sheds en route to both raise funds and show support for other men and communities alike and, last Thursday, 3 August, the adventurers visited the Coonabarabran Men’s Shed.

Coonabarabran Men’s Shed made a $200 donation to the cause.

Jim Pearson, local Men’s Shed member, noted the importance of supporting the project.

“It is something that is well worth our attention and something that is needed,” Mr Pearson said.

“If we can provide help in any way, we are more than happy to do so.”

Following its journey down the Newell Highway, the raft will be launched into the Murray River at Yarrawonga, Victoria.

The raft will float 600 kilometres downstream, led by skipper Merv Hinneberg, who successfully tested the raft for its seaworthiness.

Made from donated materials, the raft consists of composite fibre beams, sitting on top of 55 gallon empty blue barrels.

Mr Hinneberg grew up fishing among the Murray-Darling and his nostalgia brought the charitable idea to life.

The men will raise

funds through charities, It’s a Bloke Thing, and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, in the hopes to reach their target of $200,000.

Ruth Logan, the Education Program Facilitator for the charity It’s a Bloke Thing, is travelling with the Queensland men, helping to educate Australians on prostate cancer.

She explained how each day, 66 men are diagnosed with the cancer and by the age of 85, one in five men receive a diagnosis.

“Rural men are 25 per cent more likely, to have poor outcomes. The earlier it is detected, the better chance at saving lives,” Mrs Logan said.

She recommends men discuss their family history, as the cancer can be genetic. Then, she said, the next step is to book an appointment

with a doctor for a consultation and further tests.

“It is important to test for prostate cancer by the time someone is 40 and onwards,” she said.

Both men and woman gathered in Coonabarabran to start a local conversation on the commonly found cancer.

Mr Hinneberg noted the community excitement they had received along their journey so far.

“I have been overwhelmed by the support received from other Men’s Sheds, Rotary Clubs, mayors and state parliamentarians along the route,” he said.

The Coonabarabran Men’s Shed held a barbecue for the Queensland adventurers in support of their efforts.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public Grandparent’s Day Gra ndpa rent ’s Day is a lways one of the highlights in our school calendar and this year was no exception. What a great way to celebrate E ducation Week! We love welcoming extended families and community members to our school.

T h i s y e a r ’s G r a n d p a r e n t ’s D a y concer t saw students perform the play “The Hu n g r y B u ny i p ” a s wel l as songs “ T he Purple People Eater ” and “ Puff, the Magic D ragon.” Da nci ng t o

“The Nutbush” was also great fun! The Preschool performed “Where is the Green Sheep”.

Our students are very fortunate to have such great support from our grandparents, parents, a nd broader scho ol community. We received lots of positive comments from visitors who enjoyed the concert, going into t he c l a s s r o om s , a nd looking at our chicken ca rava n a nd k it chen garden projects.

Thank you to everyone for coming along and helping to make this day

Coonabarabran Public so special.

Special visit We were honoured to receive a very special visit during Education week from Cathy Brennan, the Depa r tment of E d u c a t i o n ’s D e p u t y S e creta r y a nd Ch r is Jackson, Director Educational Leadership.

It was a pleasure to show Mrs Brennan and Mr Jac k s on a r ou nd ou r school and share with them some celebrations about our cur rent prog rams and future goals.

Presenting ‘The Hungry Bunyip’.

During the past week CPS students have been in full swing as the term ramps up. We had lots of enthusiastic and talented participants involved in playing in the Terry McGoldrick Rugby Day. It was a well-run event, where both students and staff enjoyed not just the glorious sunshine, but the fund of rugby talent on the field. Students from across the shire came together to participate in clinics during the mor n i ng fol lowed by Stage 2 and Stage 3 competition.

CPS students were definitely the champions on the day, displaying great skill and sportsmanship, coming away double winners w it h b o t h t r o ph ie s .

Stage 2 played a Coolah/ Mullaley combination in the finals, while Stage 3 were up against St Lawrence’s in their finals.

This was a nail-biting game, with both teams display ing promising rugby talent, however, we, the mighty blue and gold Public School were the champions on the day!

Another feather in our football cap.

We extend our thanks and appreciation to the or ga n i s at ion a l t e a m for an excellent day of

showcasing our local rugby stars of the future.

Rugby union is always such a great opportunity for students, parents, and staff to socialise and have some fun.

A not her h i g h l i g ht of the week was Public Education celebrating 175 years. This began with

Kinder acknowledging their 100 days at school when they all dressed up as g ra ndpa rents.

Our lovely Ms Tilborghs led the fashion stakes with her grey bun and spectacles.

This was followed by two discos, for K-2 and Stage 2 and 3. And what

fun did we have, carving up the dance floor in our fluoroes. Thanks to all the staff who worked tirelessly all-day teaching and then running canteens, lighting and DJ gigs and door and toilet supervision. I know everyone there had the best night in a long time.

Ms Tilborghs and students “aged” for Education Week.

Bushfire ready – are you prepared for smoke on the horizon?

NSW Rural Fire Service personnel are worried as dry weather and a high fuel load has already resulted in fires burning out of control.

by GEORGIA SPENCE After three years of record rain prompting rapid growth in vegetation, it appears the Earth is now drying up – and a potential El Niño event could be the trigger to a severe bushfire season.

The recent hot and dry conditions have left the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) on the edge of their seats, as they prepare for severe heat warnings.

Over a recent week-long period, the Castlereagh RFS handled two out-ofcontrol hazard reduction burns on two different properties.

The property owners had followed correct procedure and organised and notified the RFS of the burns, however, they had underestimated the dryness of vegetation, with one fire burning through 45 hectares of land.

Aaron Towell, Castlereagh Zone RFS district officer, said the service was worried about potential fires this early in the season.

“There is an awful lot of vegetation on the ground, which means there is heaps of fuel,” Mr Towell said.

“A lot of us can’t remember seeing this much fuel or grassfires since the 1970s.”

He said there has been a sharp increase of pile and agricultural burns losing control, with many not used to the “vitality of grasslands”.

In light of recent uncontrolled fires, the RFS is pushing for more hazard reductions to reduce fuel loads from dry vegetation.

While hazard reductions are reliant o n s pecif i c weath e r co nd it i o n s

to minimise risk, Mr Towell advises property owners to look at clearing property lines and access points.

RFS volunteers are now undertaking high levels of training, but Mr Towell said the service will need more volunteers on the g round and encou rages community members to get in contact.

The RFS has been working with Warrumbungle Shire Council, Local Land Services and property owners to furnish the community with the right tools in case of severe bushfires.

It is important for the community to be educated on what to do in case of a bushfire and to prepare now, so decisions are not made in a hurry in the event of a fire. Whether you live in town, on a bush block or a farm, the RFS website covers all the information in relation to bushfire preparedness.

The RFS Four Step Plan 1. Have a conversation with friends and family in your household. Talk to your neighbours and other community members about what to do in case of a fire, locally.

2. Prepare your home by keeping the grass low, clearing gutters of dry leaves, clearing trees and debris up to 10 metres away from the home and having clear access to a hose.

3. Be aware of the bushfire alert levels. This can be found on the RFS website or on apps such as ‘Fires Near Me’.

4. Remain up to date by keeping key information stored on your phone, keeping in contact with radio and news channels.

Kookas claim grand final spot FROM BACK PAGE Throughout the rest of the half, opportunities w e r e t h e r e fo r b ot h teams but neither could capitalise on them A Kookas’ half-time d i scus s i on conf i r med there was space out wide if Coonabarabran could get the ball there, and after some opportunities to sco re were missed th rough poo r ly-timed passes, Jarrod Michael eventually found himself in space after the whole team was involved in a solid raid downfield.

The ball moved quickly to the ea s te r n touch line where Darcy Clifton lobbed a pass over the last Wellington defende r, w h ich sa w Jarrod sprinting to the corner to score. This was followed by an amazing co nve r s i o n f r o m t h e sideline by Darcy, which just had enough legs to scrape over the crossbar.

The game was refereed by fo r mer Coonaba rab ran boy, Alex Milsom, who has an amazing feel for the game in the bush, just letting enough marginal decisions go to keep the game flowing, and neither team had any reason to compla i n about his performance.

But, with the Kookaburras n ow 10 -7 u p, A l ex needed all his skills as the game went up another level of intensity. He was forced to issue yellow ca rds to Jed McEvoy

a n d To m Red d e n fo r high tackles and three to Wellington, of which two went to the same player – thei r outside centre, Jordan Stanley, who was involved in an o l d - fa sh i oned, a l l - i n brawl where players from both teams were lucky to stay on the field. Stanley will face the judiciary on Wednesday night. Alex did well to manage all this and not ruin either clubs’ finals campaign.

At one stage Wellington was playing w i t h 13 m e n a n d Coonabarabran played 20 minutes of the half with 14. The Kookas could have d o n e m o re to exploit their advantage with keeping the ball in hand, but too often t h ey k i c ke d t h e b a l l away, taking pressure off Wellington’s stretched defence.

Around the 70th minute Wellington had the opportunity to run the ball up the eastern touch line, but a good tackle by Andrew Hain knocked the ball loose.

Ethan Th i r kel l quick ly scooped it up and offloaded to Dave Sulter, who stretched his legs, stepped around defenders and set up Nick Wham with a clear 30-metre run to the line.

With the rest of the team and all our supporters al ready celeb rating this matching-clinching try, a Redbacks’ player came from nowhere to

13 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 10th August 2023

co m p l ete a s g ood a tackle as you’d want see, leaving Nick centimetres shor t. Thankfully, Nick had the p resence of mind to roll on his back a n d p o p t h e b a l l to Dave, who dived over for a wonderful try.

It seemed we couldn’t be beaten from here, but in the 80th minute We l l i n g to n s co r e d a converted try, making the Kookas’ penalty goal in the 20th minute now look so valuable. With this try, Wellington also delivered a statement that said “Coonabarabran, there is still one to go and you have won nothing yet”.

However, the Coonabarabran team worked well together all game; the lineout was so much improved, as was the penalty count, and they left far more sco r ing oppo r tunities on the paddock than Wellington did. Sort this in the next two weeks and the Kookas will go all the way.

Wellington now have to take on Coolah, who had a convincing 45 21 win over Molong. It would be a dream if we cou l d p l ay ou r cl ose town rivals, Coolah, in a local derby grand final.

We wish the Roos all the best, but I think we all know Wellington will be back here on the 19th with a mind focused from the sting of this semi-final defeat.

The Kookaburras will

t ra i n l u n c ht i m e n ex t Sat u rd a y, 12 Au g u s t, knowing they have a one more battle to win. They know it will go down to the wire and they know Wellington will never give up.

The whole squad of player s and coaches and all other Kookas’ fans will then head over to number one oval for a bonding afternoon, supporting the Unicorns and also the Binnaway Bombshells in their rugby

league clash.

For all the rest of us, we have to get our lives in order so we can attend the grand final. It is the Kookas’ 40th anniversary this year and I know so many old boys out there from different eras who still faithfully follow the Kookas. So, let’s make this grand final day a 40 -year reunion for all those that have gone before. I am sure Adam at the Imperial will be planning a special night

to make sure the pub is pumping after the game.

So, contact all your old rugby mates and make sure they are there on 19 August at 2pm.

Players player: Jarrod Michael (no best and fairest points awarded during finals).

Specia l mention to Noel Willoughby, whose insightfulness was a great addition to the live call of the game.

RESULTS Major semi-final

The Kookas’ number eight, Dave Sulter, takes the lineout from the Redbacks.

Coonaba rab ra n 17 (Jarrod Michael, Dave Sulter tries Darcy Clifton 1 conversion, 1 penalty) d Wellington 14 (AnthonyGreenaway, O’Brien tries Beale 2 conversions).

Final five still unresolved!

The composition and the pecking order of the top five is still unresolved, with just the final round of the 2023 Castlereagh League competition to be played this weekend.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE The Gulgong Terriers have the minor premiership well and truly stitched up after they downed the Baradine Magpies 26 to 12 at Baradine, and they sit seven points ahead of the Dunedoo Swans, who currently hold down second position on the ladder.

Perched just one point adrift of the Swans on the ladder is Cobar, and if they can become the first team to take the yap out of the Terriers in their Boronia Cup round 14 clash, and the Swans were to lose to a desperate Gilgandra Panthers outfit, then the Roosters would finish in second position.

However, this is no easy task for the Chooks, as they have to endure another long road trip to Gulgong and then overcome the Terriers on their home patch.

The Roosters forced their way into the top three with a hard-fought 24 to 20 victory over the Narromine Jets at Narromine.

Despite that loss the Jets will finish fourth on the competition ladder due to having the bye this weekend, but who they will be playing in the elimination semi-final on Sunday, 20 August, is not yet clear, with both Coonabarabran and Gilgandra still in the race for the final top-five berth.

P l a y i n g a t Coonabarabran, the Unicorns proved to be too strong for their Gilgandra visitors, converting a 10-6 half-time lead into a rather impressive 44 to 18 victory.

That score line not only draws them level with the Panthers in ter ms of competition points, but also gives them an advantage in points differential over Gilgandra. So, the Unicorns’ semi-final destiny is in very much in their own hands and comes down to their final competition game this Saturday, when they will be at home to the Binnaway Bombshells.

For the Panthers to claw their way into the top five they first need to claim victory over the Swans at Gilgandra, at the same time hoping that either the Unicorns lose to Binnaway, or that their (Gilgandra) victory is of sufficient magnitude to haul in the points differential difference between themselves and Coonabarabran should the Unicorns win.

The Bombshells will be out to make things difficult for their near neighbours, in their final outing for the 2023 season, after very nearly downing the Coonamble Bears at Coonamble – just being edged out 28 to 26.

The Bears and Baradine will complete their firstgrade commitments for the year when they clash at Baradine in what could well be a very entertaining match.

Hot scores for Monthly Medal WEEKEND GOLF The Coonabarabran G ol f C lub’s Mont h ly Medal was played on S at u r d ay, 5 Aug u st , with beautiful conditions until after lunch, when it cooled down and a shower of ra i n ca me through – which only kept the dust down.

The winner for A- Grade was Aden

Larance with a brilliant score of net 68. That’s a great score Aden, and your handicap will now come down a little. The runner up was Anthony Jones with net 73.

B - Gr ade w i n ner, w i t h a n e t 6 7, w a s Kerry Vallette. Kerry has been showing some form lately, so I’m not surprised he hit form and came away with the win – but only just, as

hot on his heels were two net 69s, by Frank Clifton a nd Graeme K eppie.

Frank got Graeme on the count back and took home the last meat tray.

Balls winners were G Keppie 69, F Nottle 73, G Chapman (snake man) 73, and S Morrissey 73.

The shoot out went to Butter and the NTP on the 4th was K Vallette.

In the Ladies, Doreen Searle took the win with

a net 67, while the NTP went to Z Holcombe.

We w o u l d l i k e t o thank Krysties Meats for the ongoing support towards the club and for your beautiful meat trays we all fight over weekly at the raffles!

Blast from the past LADIES’ GOLF From an excellent field of players competing for t he K r yst ie ’s Q u a l it y Meats Medal event, the oldest lady golfer still playing returned a card worth framing. Way back when she wa s 4 0 -i sh , she was returning good results but, for this event, out of the blue – a net 67!

S e v e n o t h e r competitors all returned below handicaps scores.

Our frosty mornings h ave i nt e r r upt e d t he growth of grass, giving

the players plenty of run on the fairways. We are all hoping we can repeat this performance.

T he w i n ner, Doreen Sea rle, was closely followed by Judy Williams with a net 70.

The other five scores ranged between net 71 and 75.

Nearest the pin on the 4/13th was Lou Dowsett and on the 8 /17th was Jane McWhirter.

Kookaburras get home in epic semi-final In a game where the two teams were evenly matched, Coonabarabran, who went behind 7-0 in the opening minutes of the game, eventually won a thrilling semi-final 17-14 against Wellington to progress straight through to the rugby union grand final on 19 august.

RUGBY UNION T h e b i g g e s t c rowd of the season was on hand w ith ner vous antici pation fo r the Kookas to continue their undefeated season, with full knowledge that the We l l i ngto n Redback s is the only team in the competition that is capab l e of k nock i ng off the high-flying Kookaburras. What they witnessed was a highlycharged game that was often a tough and, at times, brutal encounter.

The Redbacks had a good game plan, which was to contain our inside backs of Darcy Clifton, Sam Wi l son and Luke Michael, and try as they might, this talented trio could not put a bend in the Wellington backline defence all afternoon.

So much so, that Sam Wilson had to leave the field with leg cramps late in the game as he spent so much energy running at the Wellington line.

Wellington’s tackling

r ig ht acros s the pa r k was something the Kookabu r ra s had not come across all season.

When Coonabarabran was awarded th ree penalties in a row close to the posts and o n l y m et res f ro m the tr y line, they took the quick-tap option every ti me, rathe r than the safety of a three-point penalty goal. This option has delivered a try on ever y other occasion all season. However, on Saturday the Redbacks’ trench warfare defence was impregnable and they eventually forced a Kookas’ mistake and cleared their line with a raking kick downfield.

Coonabarabran, realising that you have to take some points when offered in big games, got on the scoreboard f ro m a D a rcy Cl i f to n penalty goal in the 20th minute. This decision was to prove decisive in the 80th minute.

Book explores bush crimes and tragedies Moree author researches 23 dramatic events In 1944, housemaid Minnie Jenkins was found battered and bashed in the staff quarters at the Royal Hotel in Moree.

She died the next day, less than a week after her 20th birthday.

Tommy Dowe, a likable drifter down on his luck, was arrested for the murder but it was quickly established he was nowhere near Moree when the crime was committed – despite giving police a full confession.

The story of Minnie’s tragic death and the wrongful arrest of Tommy Dowe features in a new book, Bush Tragedies, written by award-winning Moree journalist Bill Poulos.

Bush Tragedies chronicles historical crimes and tragedies from towns and villages in western New South Wales including Narrabri, Bingara, Inverell, Warialda, Quambone, Dubbo, Coonabarabran, Biniguy, Gilgandra, Garah, Mungindi, Boggabilla, Terry Hie Hie, Barraba, Collarenebri, Uralla and Moree.

“Bush Tragedies is a classic case of serendipity, given I was working on a completely different project when the idea for this book came along,” Mr Poulos said.

“I was researching the website Trove, looking for information on the history of bush horse-racing, and I kept getting side-tracked by sensational headlines and news

... the reader becomes the witness to these scenes.

Minnie Jenkins was found bashed and dying in bed in her Royal Hotel quarters on August 21, 1944. She died the next day, less than a week after her 20th birthday. Her killer was never found. (Image credit: Sydney Truth).

reports about murders, crimes and tragedies in towns and villages across western New South Wales.”

Bush Tragedies comprises 23 stories, 130,000 words and 526 pages and covers the years from the midto late1800s to around 1950.

The stories, well-researched and detailed, are written in a style known as creative non-fiction.

“Rather than compile boring, historical essays, I wanted to make

these stories as interesting as possible,” Mr Poulos said.

“The stories are based on facts and information readily available to anyone who is willing to dig deep enough.”

Research over three years included trawling through the National Library of Australia’s incredible resource Trove and sourcing court and law-related documents from New South Wales and Queensland State Archives, military and service records from the Australian War Memorial and relevant information from the National Archives of Australia.

Several ancestry and family heritage websites were referred to as well as private documents and information supplied by family members.

“There are many people who helped along the way, none more so than the researchers at Western Sydney Records Centre. My requests for information were never a problem, and responses were prompt, efficient and always on the money – they are an incredible team,” Mr Poulos said.

Continued on page 2

Award-winning journalist Bill Poulos delves deep into Australia’s turbulent and lawless past with this collection of stories, ‘Bush Tragedies’, recalling crimes, murders and tragedies that once made headlines around the nation.

His detailed research takes the reader into townships, settlements and the wide-open spaces of the outback where there is no escape from the shocking and often brutal events he vividly recreates.

Bush Tragedies throws a light on shocking events that occurred far from the country’s big cities – tragedies that disrupted and divided tight knit communities in obscure towns and settlements, splitting families, testing loyalties.

The author takes us well beyond the bare facts of crime and

punishment. Postscripts add fascinating backgrounds and outcomes to those involved – the cause and effect of the brutal deeds he describes.

Readers become observers at inquests and trials, even joining the witnesses at the gallows.

We are introduced to rogues and villains, their unfortunate victims, and the lawyers and judges who decide their fate.

This rollicking time capsule brings to life the truly appalling crimes and tragedies that horrified a nation all those years ago. They are retold in graphic detail from start to finish, complete with the cut and thrust of cross-examinations by police and lawyers.

It can be a tragic world out there in the bush ...

Bush crimes, tragedies explored in new book Continued from page 1

Reviewer Judith Flitcroft, author of Walk Back in Time, said Bush Tragedies was a “meticulous and well researched work of brutal and sordid crimes, and accidents of awful, immeasurable and diverse events that tore many outback towns in western NSW to pieces”.

“In a quiet way, it is an incredible tribute to country law enforcement officers and judiciary ‘back in the day’,” she said.

“Bill Poulos uses a genre of creative non-fiction to recreate all the happenings in his book. The reader becomes the witness to these scenes.

“I found the re-enactments noteworthy: ‘A cavalcade of vehicles carrying the police magis-

trate, police officers and the accused and his solicitor made its way into town’.

“The recounting of ‘The headless body’, left an unusual query hanging as to who exactly was the dead man?

“The Murulla train disaster of 1926 is quoted from the Newcastle Sun newspaper: ‘The town awoke to pulsing life and the streets were filled with the screech of cars and the shouts of men.

‘Breathlessly they dashed into the bush to succour the victims of disaster’.

“Bill Poulos has mastered, (and to quote one of the characters in the book, Inspector Goodwin), one hell of an investigation,” Ms Flitcroft said.

Reviewer Kenneth N. Price, a

retired Vietnam veteran and author of Broken Lives and Kokoda Mist, said: “Bush Tragedies is a collection of short stories that brings to life the early settlement of north-western NSW and south-western Qld. Bill Poulos does a magnificent job researching primary source material and bringing it together in a clear and succinct way.”

“Bush Tragedies will amaze you, shock you and on occasions bring a tear to your eye,” Mr Price said.

Bush Tragedies, published by Sid Harta, is available, from bookshops and retail outlets as well as online at Booktopia.

Retailers or bookstores wishing to stock Bush Tragedies can contact Bill Poulos at bill@deluxecafemoree.com.au for details.

Historic stories of bush crime intrigued author Bill Poulos About the author Bill Poulos is a former freelance features and sports journalist based at Moree in north-western NSW. His passion is the thoroughbred racing industry, and he wrote extensively on this subject for numerous magazines, newspapers and websites across the eastern states of Australia for more than thirty-five years.

Bill’s research for a book on the history of horse-racing in northwestern NSW was the reason Bush Tragedies serendipitously evolved — historical stories of crime, murder, misery and heartache kept dragging him away from the project at hand.

Bill won the John Newfong Award for Outstanding Indigenous Affairs reporting at the 2016 NRMA Kennedy Awards for Excellence in NSW Journalism and was also nominated for three Racing NSW Awards for Excellence in Media

(2003, 2005 and 2010), winning in 2010. Bill lives in Moree with his wife Cindy and stepson Yang.

Celebrating 15 years in Gunnedah radio is Greg Petersen, with new Triple G announcer Ben Coleman.

New announcer for Triple G in Gunnedah Gunnedah’s premier radio station Triple G has welcomed its first new announcer in 15 years.

Ben Coleman will take the reins of the breakfast program, serving up the latest local and national news as well the best music from the 80s to now.

Originally from Brisbane, the former Queenslander recently spent a year at Moree radio station NOW FM. Ben said the opportunity to move to Gunnedah was a great chance to further his long-held passion for the radio industry.

“Ever since I was a child I always loved music and listening to the radio,” he said.

“My parents would tell me how when we went to the shops, they would often lose me in the entertainment department.”

Ben takes over from 15-year Triple G veteran, Greg Petersen – also a former Queenslander - who was impressed by the newcomer’s enthusiasm for local radio.

After more than a decade and a half on the air in Gunnedah, Greg had some simple but important advice for Ben: “Just be yourself,” he said.

Greg moves over to Gunnedah’s sister station 2MO where his love of community is equally strong, especially for local sport.

“I love the sport of Gunnedah community, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the gymnastics or the footy, the town gets behind it,” he said.

“It is great too that when anyone is down on their luck in town, everyone pitches in to help.”

The long-time announcer recalled his first time in air at the Gunnedah station.

“I jumped on in the afternoon, was about 2pm, had Hayley (McAdam) show me where the buttons were, the system we were using and away I went. I loaded some songs and remember saying ‘make sure you get the correct back call’ and don’t say your old radio station’ ... I managed to do that, so I was pretty happy.”

Greg has experienced many changes in the radio industry over the years, not the least the move to online.

He said radio stations had to adapt with the changing media landscape but despite the change, one thing that never wavered has been the community’s continued desire for conversation – something the online world couldn’t provide (at least in the early days).

“People wanted that one-onone, even with the online, people still wanted that - that was biggest thing that surprised me,” he said.

Raising the bar on crop nutrition

By ALI SMITH

journalist@nwcourier.com.au

Outlook Ag is raising the bar on crop nutrition in northern NSW by joining forces with the Grains Research and Development Corporation to investigate the economic returns of improved fertiliser strategies and provide growers looking to enhance their sustainability and profitability with information about the benefits of looking at changes to their fertiliser management.

It is believed that the profitability of grain growers across northern NSW could be improved if there was greater awareness and understanding of the extent that nutrition is limiting yield.

“What we’re trying to get is a better understanding of the complexities around soil nutrition,” said Mitch Cuell, agronomist and Outlook Ag director for the Narrabri region.

“We’re trying to maximise the profitability for our growers and also the sustainability, and a sustainable outcome for our soil.”

“Our main aim in the west, is still to demonstrate the most profitable fertiliser strategies under a range of crops,” added Greg Rummery, Outlook Ag director for the Walgett region.

“The challenge in the west is managing greater variability of seasons compared to our eastern farmers.”

As part of the project, Outlook Ag will conduct a series of trials across northern NSW at Bellata, Rowena, and Spring Ridge to establish the immediate and residual benefits of applying critical nutrients as determined through

historical soil testing, yield maps and trial data.

The trials will aim to show the economic value of improving nutrient management through the integration and implementation of precision ag tools.

Three to four nutrition trials will be established each year for three years in a range of crops to

measure impacts from different fertiliser strategies.

In the years following establishment, plots will be replanted to rotational crop types and the residual fertiliser impacts will be monitored from the previous year’s trials.

The Outlook Ag nutrition project is part of GRDC’s National Grower

Network – a community of growers and grains industry stakeholders across Australia’s growing regions who GRDC directly engages with to assist in developing locally relevant research development and extension investments.

With agronomists based across the North West, Outlook Ag brings local knowledge and technical

skills to the collaboration.

“Collaborations are so important in this industry,” said Mr Cuell when asked about working with GRDC. “When you can collaborate with the likes of GRDC it’s great for getting messages across, more extension, they’ve got a trusted voice,” Mr Cuell added.

Short-term closure of Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre Moree Plains Shire Council has announced urgent maintenance works at all pools at the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre will lead to the facility’s short-term closure.

The centre has closed from Tuesday, August 8 for 4 days as council has secured a contractor to complete these essential works.

“While we understand that this is short notice, we expect

operations to resume at the MAAC from 8am, Saturday, August 12, allowing patrons access once again to the passive and program pools at the centre,” council’s statement read.

Acting general manager Nick Tobin said council understood that this closure may cause inconvenience and disruption to patrons’ plans while repairs are

undertaken to the liner in the program pool and tile maintenance on the passive pool.

During the closure, the reception at the MAAC will remain open allowing Belgravia Leisure to operate other facilities and services.

“I would like to advise that council has already gone out to selective tender for the clubhouse, 50m pool and grandstand, with

applications closing on August 14, 2023,” Mr Tobin said.

“As contractors become available, progression continues on the active and wellness pool with the newly laid re-enforcement in place, with concreting to commence in the wellness pool, while the active pool is at the stage of having plumbing works tested.

“We apologise to users of the

MAAC for this brief closure, however, it is necessary for the outcome of a larger scope of work to be conducted for the MAAC redevelopment.

In its statement, Moree Plains Shire Council said it remains committed to the MAAC redevelopment with $16,668,389 in budget, including $6,735,270 secured in NSW government funding.

Funding boost for upgrades to historical Missing Persons society’s heritage-listed headquarters Moree and District Historical Society members have received a boost in recent weeks, thanks to a $178,670 NSW government grant which was used to replace the condemned main staircase at its museum headquarters and install a new access elevator.

Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall inspected the works, at the heritage-listed former Lands Department building, alongside historical society members.

He said the funding was secured under the NSW Stronger Country Communities Fund and had helped restore one of Moree’s oldest and most celebrating buildings.

Mr Marshall said the 130-yearold Frome Street building is the headquarters for the historical society, after it was bought off the Moree Plains Shire Council for just $1 in 2018.

“The new lift installed provides access to the Moree Plains Museum for all visitors, regardless of mobility, and includes emergency gurney access,” Mr Marshall said.

“Members and volunteers lent their hand to help with the rebuilding of the condemned staircase at the front of the building, due to difficulties sourcing builders. This will be completed in the next few weeks.

“The final part of the project involves a concrete path from the

front gate and around the lift, which will also be completed shortly.

“The historical society members have done a terrific job with these projects and will soon have a museum they and the community can be proud of, located in a building which is one of Moree’s historical treasures.”

Grants officer and researcher Michael McNamara said society members were thrilled to receive the funding.

“The society would like to thank the former NSW government for supplying the funds to install the lift and to refurbish the stairs,” Mr McNamara said.

“Without these types of grants the work that is required to keep the old buildings around for a longer period of the enjoyment of everyone would be beyond the scope of many historical societies.

“The project means that all members of the society and the general public can have access to the first floor where the museum is going to be opened.

“We have some members that have never been upstairs due to the problem with accessibility.

“It will also mean that we should be able to attract more members to help run the museum as they will not have to climb the stairs to access the building.”

Missing Persons Week 2023 was launched in early August with the goal to shine a light on the investigative processes involved in dealing with unidentified bodies and human remains.

This year, State Crime Command’s Missing Persons Registry has received 42 reports, and 20 confirmed reports, of unidentified bodies and human remains found in NSW. Of those 20 confirmed reports, the Missing Persons Registry has successfully identified nine of those people through varying investigative techniques, including advancements in the science of DNA. Five were found to be medical specimens used for science and training, and six remain the subject of ongoing investigations.

Those six unidentified remains were found in various parts of the state: from Kiama to Moree and Byron Bay. In March 2023, the New South Wales Police Force implemented Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG), which has commenced for seven other unidentified human remains cases to date.

FIGG combines new DNA analysis techniques and traditional genealogy to identify suspects and unknown remains using commercial DNA databases.

Detective Inspector Ritchie Sim, Manager of the Missing Persons Registry, said modern technology goes a long way in helping police find answers for the loved ones of missing people, but there is still more the public can do.

“This year for Missing Persons Week we’re making a call to action for members of the public to come forward and help us solve some of these mysteries through voluntarily providing their DNA,” Det Insp Sim said. “There’s two ways people can provide their DNA – the first and foremost way is if you have a distant relative believed to be missing, you can come into any police station, cite their name or

Missing persons investigations are not criminal investigations – our one goal is to ultimately identify these remains and provide families and loved ones of missing people the answers they deserve. RITCHIE SIM case number, and provide a DNA sample which will be placed on the National DNA Database used to compare with unidentified human remains.

“The second is if you’re a member of the public who wants to share their DNA for the purpose of helping the Missing Persons Registry identify bodies and human remains, you can supply your DNA through most public DNA databases such as GEDmatch or Family Tree DNA. There’s a misconception around providing DNA to police – that it could be used against you for criminal matters, and that’s just not the case.

“Missing persons investigations are not criminal investigations – our one goal is to ultimately identify these remains and provide families and loved ones of missing people the answers they deserve.

“Throughout the week we’re going to be shining a light on some various outstanding unidentified remains and asking you, are you the missing link?”

Anyone with information that may assist investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers. com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.

Goondiwindi man last seen in Narrabri, car located near Pilliga Forest in 2015 We are very lucky to have the people we have in our business who treat each job and customer with the detail required to be successful in our field.

Vantage NSW, General Manager Michael Casey

The disappearance of Goondiwindi man Terry Lloyd remains unanswered almost eight years later.

Mr Lloyd left his home on November 24, 2015, travelling south on the Newell Highway.

His last known sighting was at a petrol station in Narrabri on the following day and his car was later discovered near the Pilliga Forest on December 2.

Mr Lloyd’s Toyota Rav4 was found crashed into a tree near the forest, west of Gwabegar.

The car was unoccupied and police launched a search in the vicinity of the vehicle. Mr Lloyd was not located.

The vehicle was slightly damaged, however, police at the time believed it would not be enough to cause critical injuries.

Police searches continued throughout December and were later called off despite extensive efforts by emergency services.

Terry Lloyd was last seen in Narrabri in 2015 and his car was later located near the Pilliga Forest.

A Man Called Otto USA

August 20 M
