WAMEBELONG FIRE: 10TH ANNIVERSARY

Wambelong:

a decade on, scars remain Community spirit held the Coonabarabran community together during and after the bushfire that scarred both the landscape and people in 2013. Ten years on, we remember the horrific Wambelong bushfire and the brave crews who fought to contain it.

by CHRIS WARD Ten years ago to this day the fi re that tore through most of the Warrumbungle National Park ignited.

By the time the Wambelong f i re was declared to be extinguished o n 2 4 J a n u a r y, i t h a d dest royed 5 3 homes and

131 other buildings; killed 847 sheep and 318 cattle; b u r nt 95 pe r cent of th e National Park - 60 per cent of that under catastrophic conditions; and left mental scars on many residents.

It was late in the afternoon when a triple zero call was m a d e, i n d i cat i n g t h at a f i re had star ted near the

Wambelong campground in the National Park.

N SW R F S a n d N a t i o n a l Pa r k s a n d W i l d l i fe c rew s responded to the call.

The fire was burning along the nor thern side of John Renshaw Parkway, running in a north-easterly direction i nto steep and d if f icu lt ter rain at a moderate

intensity.

The Coronial Inquir y cou l d not dete r m i ne the cause of the fire.

Catastrophic fire weather co n d i t i o n s e m e rg e d t h e following day, causing the f i re to i n i t i a l l y r u n s o u t h towards Grand High Tops b e fo r e s w i n g i n g a r o u n d and running east towards

Coonabarabran.

A massive plume of smoke developed, bellowing into the sky - at one point reaching 12-14 kilometres in height.

The plume caused longrange spotting which prog ressed the f i re by 10 kilometres.

Fire debris including

charred sticks and leaves were recorded as far away as Purlewaugh.

A southerly change i m pacted the f i re, w ith the edge moving towa rd Yearinan and Bugaldie.

Frantic efforts were made to evacuate residents east and north of the park.

No summer holiday for emergency services Fuel theft, vehicle accidents and grass fires have kept emergency services active during the recent holiday break.

by CHRIS WARD The area’s emergency services have been kept busy over the Christmas and New Year period but, thankfully, most incidents have been minor.

Fuel theft Of f icer in cha rge of t he N or t her n S e c t or, Jason Conolly said there had been a number of fuel thefts throughout the region and reminded residents to keep their vehicles properly secured.

“Especially with the ongoing harvesting efforts,” he said. “ Fa r m veh icles a nd he av y m ac h i ner y a r e being targeted so make sure everything is locked and secured.”

The acting inspector sa id there had a lso been repor ts of both the Baradine and C o on aba r abr a n Showg rounds being broken into, where alcohol had been stolen.

Vehicle accidents The new year didn’t get off to the best start for one driver and her passenger when the vehicle they were travelling in collided with the Kurtz Bridge on Black Stump Way in the early hours of new year’s day.

T he 28 -year-old driver received non-lifethreatening injuries, while her 27-year-old passenger remained trapped for a period of time before being released and airlifted to Joh n Hunter Hospita l in a serious but stable condition.

T he r e w a s a t r u c k rollover in Dunedoo on Thursday, 5 January.

T he d r iver e s c ap e d serious injury, however, the Castlereagh Highway was closed for a number of

hours as crews worked to clean up the load of grain.

Bushwalker rescue On the same afternoon, emergency services were called to Bluff Mountain i n the Wa r r u mbu ngle Nationa l Pa rk a f t er a 73 -yea r- old man lost h is fo oti ng wh i le bushwalking, sustaining a head injury.

The man was eventually airlifted out and taken to hospital.

Road safety warning Acting inspector Conolly said it was likely there would be increased traffic on our roads in the coming weeks and urged mot or ist s t o t a ke the usual safety precautions.

“Over the coming weeks there will be a continued i ncrease i n travel lers passing through the area for the Tamworth Music Festival, the Australia Day period and school holidays,” he explained.

“Police urge travellers to give yourself plenty of time to travel to your destination, use personal responsibility and show consideration for other road users. “ Police will continue t o b e out a nd a b out , patrol l i ng ou r lo ca l communities and roads to drive down the fear of crime and unsafe and reckless behaviours on our roads.”

Contact police I f y ou w it ne s s a ny s u s p i c i o u s a c t i v i t y, contact Crime Stoppers or Coonabarabran Police Station.

If you witness a crime o c c u r r i ng, ple a se use persona l sa fety, don’t approach and immediately call 000 or the local Police Station.

“On behalf of Orana

M id -We s t e r n P ol i c e District, a happy New Year and best wishes for 2023. We look forward t o work i ng w ith the community and driving down the fear of crime in our local towns,” acting insp. Conolly said.

Grass fires On the fire front, the Rural Fire Service (RFS) has also been busy with a number of grass fires.

T hey h ave wa r ned residents t o rema i n vigilant when it comes protecting themselves as the weather continues to warm up.

“Three of the grass fires of late were caused by vehicles driving through long grass on properties,” R F S ac t i ng i n sp e c t or Aaron Powell said.

“In two of the cases the vehicles were destroyed by the fire. “ Luckily no one was ser iously i nju red , but it’s important that you d r i v e o n we l l - f o r me d roads rather than driving through long grass, and don’t leave your vehicle idling.”

On Monday, 9 January, crews were working on a blaze in the G oonoo

Goonoo conservation area that borders the Dubbo region. Acting inspector Powell was expecting that fire to be contained by nightfall.

Lightning strikes L ooking forward, Powel l sa id the Sh i re c a n ex p e c t d r ier a nd wa r mer c ond it ion s t o prevail, with intermittent thunderstorms that could cause fires to start from lightning strikes. “ We will continue to monitor and watch for ignition points and get on top of them as quickly as we can,” he said.

2023 is due to be a year full of exciting night sky views. Following is a summary of some of the best views you can look out for in the night sky for the first half of 2023.

JANUARY

APRIL

Quandrantids meteor shower

Solar Eclipse

P e a k i n g o n Wednesday, 4 January, the shower is expected to reach up to 20 – 4 0 meteors per hour depending on how dark the area is. The Moon and Mars will also appear very close together in the sky on 4 January and it will appear as though the red planet and the moon are about to crash into one another.

On 20 April there will be a solar eclipse that will block about 10% of the sun at its peak, beginning at 11.30am and lasting until 5.00pm.

There will also be the Puppids meteor shower towards the end of the month between 15–28 April between dusk and 2.00am towards the western horizon.

MAY FEBRUARY Centaurids meteor shower February will also be starting with a meteor s h o w e r, w i t h t h e Centaurids peaking near dawn on 8–9 February with 5–10 meteors per hour visible. There will also be a close pass of the Moon and Venus on 22 February, which will be visible above the western horizon around 8pm.

Asteroid pass At the beginning of May, Asteroid 7 Iris will be making its closest pass

by Earth. Though it will only be visible through a pair of binoculars or a telescope, the asteroid will be visible in t he constellation of Libra in the eastern sky around midnight on 1 May.

JUNE Moon, Mars and Venus

Emergency services were called upon to extract an injured bushwalker who suffered a fall in the Warrumbungle National Park in early January.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

The Coonabarabran Times acknowledges and pays respect to the Gamilaraay people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live and work, and pay our respects to Elders both past and present.

We extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the country and support the continuation of their cultural, spiritual and educational practices.

MARCH Venus and Jupiter March will begin with the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter in the sky on 2 March at around 7.45pm. There will also be yet another meteor shower in March with the y- No r m id meteo r shower. The shower is due to reach its peak on 15 March just before dawn.

Thursday, 22 June marks the shortest day in the Southern Hemisphere, the Winter Solstice. On this night, the Moon, Mars and Venus will all be very close together in the night sky, and they will appear to cross over each other during the night as they transition throughout the sky.

Join the fight against CSG The recent decision to grant mining giant Santos the go ahead for the Narrabri Gas Project in the Pilliga Forest has added insult to injury for the First Nations people fighting against the proposal.

by CHRIS WARD Last month the National Native T itle T r ibu na l came to the decision that Santos may be granted the petroleum production leases necessary for the pr oje c t , wh ich me a n s all Native Title claims i n the P i l l iga w i l l be extinguished.

Suellyn Tighe, a longtime campaigner against the project, said “in other words they are say ing we - the Gomeroi People have no connection to that country”. “ T hey ca me t o that decision because they look at culture retrospectively.

The decision affects our ability to go out and create new sites and areas of impor tance. It doesn’t allow for the continuing of our culture.”

T he G omeroi People attempted negotiations w ith Sant os w ith a v iew to achiev ing a fair and equitable ag reement i nclud i ng appr opr iat e cu ltu ra l heritage protections and c ompensat ion . But no agreement was reached and Santos commenced proceedings in the Tribunal.

The recent decision in the Tribunal has led the Gomeroi People to take a further stand against the action by organising a get together this Saturday, 14 January, at Coonabarabran’s number

one oval.

Ms Tighe and a group of Aboriginal Elders have called on all community members and concerned r e s ide nt s t o j oi n t he gathering and have their voices heard. “ W hile this decision ef fe c t ively me a n s the Native Title to the Pilliga will be lost to the Gomeroi People, it has a flow on that will effect everyone,” she explained. “ During the drought Coonabarabran ran out of water and they had to sink seven bores into the Great A rtesian Basin, which saved our lives. “ T he go a head for Santos means this very same water could end up contaminated - this is the water we will be drinking and washing in.

“It’s problematic on all levels.”

Ms T ighe said there were many other issues of concern that came with the recent decision.

“The amount of salt that will come out of these is 87 times the weight of the Eiffel Tower and it can’t even be used, it’s toxic, and that has to be dumped somewhere,” she said. “ T here a re so many environmental factors like the impact the CO2 gasses will have on the area – and many we don’t even know about yet.

“Hundreds of thousands of mega-litres of water

3 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 12th January 2023

will be extracted with the gas, which could very well cause rock shelf collapses and who knows what other environmental disasters.”

M s T i g h e s a id s h e would continue to fight against the proposal and urged the Minister for the Environment and Water,

Tanya Plibersek to join the important battle. “ T h is whole th i ng could be done with if she (Ms Plibersek) spoke up against it, but she has remained silent on the matter for the entire time, which is disgusting really after she was only elected

because of her promises of a green government.”

The get together will kick off at 5pm on S at u r d ay w i t h g u e s t speakers, banner making, a sausage sizzle, music and entertainment and cultural dance performances. All welcome!

Sheryle Nixon, Margaret Robinson, Suellyn Tighe, Kodi Brady, Paris Norton and Seoul Goolagong (front) have vowed to continue the fight against coal seam gas in the Pilliga.

Into & Beyond: artist boldly captures Warrumbungles Artist Corinne Loxton recently visited the Warrumbungle Mountains, capturing the beauty of the landscape in her new exhibition ‘Into & Beyond’.

by JIMMY WHALAN Having grown up at the foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa, Ms Loxton said she had spent her formative years noticing and responding to the mountainous landscape and its weather.

Ms Loxton has since extended that love for mountainous landscapes to the Blue Mountains, her home for the last 10 years.

She said she has developed a beautiful, intimate relationship with the area and that much of her work is inspired by the place.

“While I do much of my painting in the studio from photographs and memories of my experiences, I value the opportunity to explore and interpret new places, like the Warrumbungles,” Ms Loxton said.

“For many years I have been interested in travelling to the Warrumbungles to see what it is that makes it so special and to respond in my own unique way as an artist.”

Upon arriving at Camp Blackman, Ms Loxton said she threw up the tent and rushed across the

open meadow to paint the iconic views of the Warrumbungles across to the tors that make up the Breadknife.

“I was excited by the majesty and uniqueness of the rock formations and wanted to capture the late afternoon light and shadows as they fell across the ridges,” Ms Loxton said.

She spent the next few days exploring and seeking out views of dramatic peaks, valleys and ranges; these views were the inspiration for the ‘Warrumbungle Dreaming’ paintings in her exhibition.

“I revelled in the immediacy of painting plein air – the challenge of capturing the shifting light and colour quickly and with energy and mood.”

However, painting these dramatic views soon began to frustrate Ms Loxton, so she decided that she would start to move through the landscape with an open curiosity and attention to her surroundings.

“I began rising very early and walking for hours, listening and looking, taking photos, journaling, sketching and just being present to the

experience of being there,” Ms Loxton said.

As she journeyed this way, Ms Loxton said she began to feel more interested in the “less remarkable” views, not places that people would necessarily recognise, but places that still evoke the beauty and wonder of the Warrumbungles; these views were the inspiration

for her paintings, ‘Into & Beyond IV’ and ‘Evensong’, VII, VIII and IX. Ms Loxton said she had found that the secret to capturing the Warrumbungles was to slow down and fully experience the place, letting go of the assumptions she had unwittingly carried with her about the work she

‘Into & Beyond IV’, painted by artist Corinne Loxton during time spent in the Warrumbungles.

would create.

“I had arrived with curiosity and openness, yet as I put my artist’s hat on and immersed myself in the environment, I realised I was pushing myself to achieve, rather than settling into the

process and trusting that the landscape would speak to me.”

Looking back on her trip to the Warrumbungles, Ms Loxton found that it was a very challenging and rewarding experience.

“Travelling to the

Warrumbungles to paint was a journey both into and beyond my comfort zone,” Ms Loxton said.

“The natural beauty and majesty of the place were enthralling and I have not exhausted the creative possibilities there.”

Artist Corinne Loxton immersed herself in the Warrumbungles landscape to gain inspiration for a new series of artworks.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Little Timor Street Plaza stoush Yes, I thought. Finally someone is going to discuss the stoush about usage and charges of the Little Timor Street Plaza. (see Coona Times 8 December 2022).

The article written by Chris Ward, which mostly quoted Shire mayor Doolan, was supposed to “clear the air”. However, it has thrown up a lot of questions which need to be answered.

The “space constraints and proximity to the highway”. What is the problem about where the Plaza is? Is the mayor concerned as much with the space constraints and proximity to the highway when it comes to all the shops and services which line the highway?

What makes the Plaza so problematic?

Didn’t Council approve the submission from the Beautification Committee, which is a sub-committee of Council?

If they didn’t - why not?

Whose responsibility is it in Council to sign off on all funding applications before they are sent to the relevant funding body?

Why would Council not agree to the Plaza being a permanent fixture from the very beginning?

What lunacy it would be to turn around and decide, well, we think we would like it to be a road again and dismantle the project.

Yes, the “Streets As Shared Spaces Project is a medium-term pilot project, but as with all

pilot projects, there is not a possibility that, if there is no further funding forthcoming, that the project has or could be dismantled.

The Plaza has proven that the funded pilot project, as it has come about in Coonabarabran, has been an absolute success as it has been embraced by the community, whether as persons who go and sit or eat or have a coffee and a chat at the Plaza or as volunteers who steadfastly clean up the Plaza and make all the amenities clean and safe for usage.

Not only that, but it has won a bronze award at the 2022 NSW/ACT Landscape Excellence Awards.

I am sure everyone on or in the Warrumbungle Shire Council knew that the area where the Plaza was to be built was gazetted as a “road”. I drove up it for 17 years to work. I think if it hadn’t been a road, someone would have mentioned it. When the Plaza was being built, workers had to remove the speed bumps, and change the water, sewerage and electrical systems under the road before more work could be completed. To my mind, I believe Council knew it was a road. I think that assumption would stand up in a Court. Why is it that someone in Council didn’t say: “hey I think we have to go through a process to comply under the Roads Act (NSW) 1993 to change this space from a road to a pedestrian and community usage area”.

4 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 12th January 2023

Who is it in Council whose job it is to sign off on projects? Is this another “gee we forgot it” moment as with the playground in Neilson Park which was built under electrical power lines? Is this a situation like the disintegrating Dunedoo Aged Care facility? Surely each project has to have a project manager or someone to oversee the risks and building of projects?

Every community organisation which utilise any halls, parks or other facilities belonging or being administered by the Warrumbungle Council have, on a yearly basis, to complete a considerable Risk Assessment before they can use those amenities. Who does the Risk Assessments and oversees compliance of funding and legal requirements when the Council takes on a job?

Little Timor Street is closed. It has now become a well loved and utilised facility in town. It is about time the road closure paperwork should be done.

Mayor Doolan said it is “a complex, time-consuming process”; well, what do we vote people into Council for? If you can’t take the time to do this paperwork, you shouldn’t be in Council. Council also employs lawyers. If no one who works in Council can do it, get the lawyer to do it. Simple.

Lions District Convention 2023 Lions Australia, Distr ict 2 01N4 has chosen Coonabarabran as the town to host their annual Convention from Friday, 13 October 2023 to Sunday, 15 October 2023.

Coonabarabran was chosen due to the availability of accommodation and the availability of services supporting the township.

As Coonabarabran is surrounded by the unique beauty of the picturesque Warrumbungle Ranges, they are one of a kind and are a “must see” for any traveller.

T he expected 13 0 Lions members and their partners will be staying at the Wa r r u mbu ngle Mou nta i n Mot el a nd c a mpi n g g r o u nd , t he venue for our weekend, plu s nu m e r o u s o t h e r accommodation outlets within the town precinct.

M a ny o f t he s e L i o n s have indicated they will also spend time before and after the convention in these natural surroundings. This allows time for members and partners to contribute to your shire’s economy by staying in town, touring the surrounding areas and dining at the many options available to them.

The Convention partners’ tour will i nclude a v i sit out t o Pilliga Pottery, allowing suff icient time for delegates to browse and shop at Pilliga Pottery and in town. It is estimated the local economy will be

boosted during our stay by approximately $70,000 for the weekend, plus more from those extending their visit.

M a ny o f t h e g u e s t speakers are from within your community and the local Rural Fire Service will be involved in our convention. We believe recognition of their past cou rageous ef for ts, t o protect their community, needs acknowledgement.

Per io d ic a l ly du r i n g 2023, several of us will be visiting Coonabarabran to contact local business owners and the Wa r r u m bu n g l e S h i r e Council to f inalise pr ep a r at ion s for t h i s exciting weekend. We look forward to meeting you and your staff and sharing in your community.

I n my p o sit ion a s Distr ict G overnor and Convention Chair, at the time of the convention, I am available to answer any questions you may have so please feel free to contact either myself or other available members of the organising committee.

D i str i ct C onventi on Chairperson District 201 N4 Bathurst 2795 (20.12.2022) Better access to health services Why does the sun set on the health of rural A u s t r a l i a n ’s? B e t t e r yet, why do we allow it?

C o o n a b a r a br a n r e s t s within the shadows of some of the largest regional centres within wester n NSW, both of which fail to support us outside of the promise of empty mission statements and commitments to not forget about us. This is something all of us in this community, and ones much like this, are terribly aware of; yet no positive changes seem to happen.

The Isolated Patients Travel and Accommodation Assistance Scheme ( I P TA A S ) is fa r f rom b e i n g a s i l v e r bu l l e t solution – but telling this to big-wig bureaucrats and our well-meaning brothers and sisters in larger rural centres is near impossible.

D o n n i n g a n i nvestigat or ’s hat and taking on a likeness of Nancy Drew, shows that community transport from Coonabarabran to Dubbo for health at a subsidised cost is non- ex ist ent.

Distant memories of such services tickle the depths of community member’ minds. When exploring the possibility of those supposed services that are meant to be so easy to access, I raise the question

‘why can’t we have daily community transport to Dubbo put into place?’

A community is built around society members working together as a c ol le c t ive t o help one a n o t h e r. I n h a b i t a nt s of this town cry out for jobs, and health care is ultimately something each and every one of us has at some point of their lives need or will need. With this in mind I see the beginnings of a solution – perhaps we should work together, advocating for ou r s elve s i n or der t o secure patient transport between areas within the l a rger Wa r r u mbu ngle Shire, and the centre of our health system, Dubbo Base Hospital.

In a noble effort which I applaud, Warrumbungle Community Centre tries to close the previously addressed gap with a bus service which has a limited timetable. The likeness of this service could be fine tuned, extended in time, and supported by NSW Health. We need support for there to be stronger ways to support our citizens attend ing specialist appointments and accessing vital health care.

We, as a community, should be outraged about the shortcomings of the health system; and we should all keep in the front of our minds ways in which we can better it.

Cattle market 2022: a year in review • • •

Two key lead indicators point to 2022 being a historical year in terms of retention of stock to rebuild numbers.

Cattle supply in 2022 tightened as the rebuild extended into Queensland, seeing year-to-date yardings fall nationally by 256,000 head on 2021.

Cattle prices remain above the 5 and 10-year averages for the whole year, despite experiencing volatile market conditions at times.

Buyer demand, a greater selectivity on quality and wet weather were the hallmarks of a historically momentous 2022 year for Australia’s cattle industry.

Australia’s cattle market continued to experience exc ept ion a l operat i ng conditions on-farm in 2022, with above-average weather patt er ns suppor ti ng improved long-term confidence. However, the wet weather also hampered cattle performance in both the paddock and the feedlot, setting supply back well into spring.

Herd rebuild A key statistical indicator on how the herd rebuild is performing is the female slaughter rate (FSR), this technical lead indicator measures the number of female cattle processed compared to the total on a quarterly basis.

Since the Q3 2021, the

FSR has averaged its lowest figure consecutively, on record, over 12 months, surpassing the 2010–2012 rebuild period.

K now i ng that the retention of females has been high, longer term, continual supply of cattle in 2023 and 2024 can be expected, with a larger breeder cow herd delivering increased calf drops with h igher-tha n-average branding percentages.

Supply yardings Total national yardings in year-to-date terms for 2022 are down 12.4% or 256,000 head compared to 2021 volumes and softer by 45% or 1.44m head on the 2018 drought year. All states have experienced significant declines, with Queensland, Victoria and WA registering the largest falls, softening in YTD terms by 92,957, 74,626 and 36,124 compared to 2021.

5 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 12th January 2023

W h i le NS W is on ly operating 28,0 0 0 head or 4.5% below YTD 2021 levels, this performance clea rly recog nises the maturity of NSW’s rebuild comparative to other states and that a larger supply pool of cattle are available in the state.

At a categor y level, yearling heifers and grown s t e er s ya r d i n g s h ave softened the most in YTD 2022, falling by 41,033 and 39,936 head compared to 2021. With the yearling heifers clearly highlighting the rebuilding intentions of producers in retaining heifers to join.

Feedlots For feedlots in 2022, records were broken in all measurable indicators despite the intense nature of the herd rebuild occurring around the sector, a unique insight into the resilience and important nature of lot

feeding Australia’s cattle and the role it plays in the supply chain.

In line with the herd rebuild and tighter supplies of grassfed cattle in the processor sector, grainfed cattle accounted for 56% of total beef production in Q1, a new record. So far in 2022, grainfed production has produced on average 50% of total beef produced in the country, 12% above the 10-year average.

Slaughter In 2022, national cattle slaughter is expected to fall beyond last year’s 36-year low of 6,018m head, again, with weekly kill rates consistently lower than 2021. The average weekly slaughter figures in YTD terms have averaged 3% lower than 2021 and 23% lower than 2020 figures.

Supply of cattle has continued to remain tight with the rebuild extending

north into Queensland numbers of cattle fel l further.

Prices While the cattle market has generally experienced softer trends compared to the record breaking 2021 (other than the Studstock market for selling bulls), its performance has been very strong despite significant volatility.

EYCI performance time line: • 24 January 2022: the EYCI reached its record of 1,191c/kg cwt This price was 453c/kg cwt or 61% higher than the 5-year average The price was also 97% or 586c/kg cwt higher than the 10-year average • 1 February 2022: six industry analysts forecast in MLA’s annual projections release the EYCI would reach 998c by June 30 – the actual price was 1,013,

WAMEBELONG FIRE: 10TH ANNIVERSARY

Conditions led to fire thunderstorm FROM FRONT Siding Spring Observatory was impacted with a fire run missing the main observatory by 100 metres.

The lodge and another residence in the compound were lost.

Agg ressive ae r ial at tack s contributed to saving the majority of buildings within the complex.

Fire and Rescue NSW crews were able to reach the facility later in the night, protecting buildings from further ember attacks.

Hazard reduction, retro fittings on buildings, the aer ial attack and the follow-up ember attack p revent i o n s a l l co nt r i b uted to saving the area.

The impacted Lodge was built at the top of two gullies that made it difficult to protect, even under moderate conditions.

From that point on, other fires b e g a n s p re a d i n g , w i t h c rew s working hard to contain blazes and protect properties under threat.

A focus was then put on protecting crucial communication towe r s i ncl ud i ng eme rgency services and public broadcasting

services that were also in the line of the fire.

At the back end of the incident, as crews were mopping up, the southern part of the park was hit by a rain bomb which caused localised flash flooding.

The combination of the fire and rain caused severe erosion below the television tower.

An i ndependent ex pe r t and b u s hf i re s c i e nt i s t, A s s o c i ate Professor Jason Sharples provided a report to the Coronial Inquiry, describing the fire at its peak.

“The Wambelong fire was a clear case of a fire developing into its most catastrophic state,” he stated in the report.

“The fire developed into a fullyfledged fire thunderstorm, which w hen vi ewed a s a contig uous event involved tens of thousands of cubic kilometres of atmosphere in addition to the large surface area consumed by the fire.”

While there were no human lives lost in the fire, the mental toll it took on some residents is still felt today.

This look back at the Wambelong fire incident was put together through an interview with Peter Brookhouse, who was the day-shift planning officer within the Incident Management Team that was put together to defend the fire, as well as notes from the official Coronial Inquiry that took place after the incident.

The entire Inquiry can be viewed at https://coroners.nsw.gov.au

Here’s to the volunteers behind the scenes

Cr Ambrose Doolan Mayor Warrumbungle Shire Council

I remember Sunday, 13 January 2013 like it was yesterday. The forecast was for high winds and a top of 48°C, and so there was a ban on machinery movements on our place.

A fter Mass and v i sit i ng t he i n-l aws the plan was to rotate between the po ol , the fr idge and the cr icket on the TV. At lunch time an English friend living in Kiama sent me a text asking was I safe from the fire.

“What fire?” I replied, as simultaneously a text arrived from the RFS, ‘Fire, report to shed’.

By the end of that day our community was in t he m idd le of a f i r ey maelstrom, w ith the repercussions still being felt to this day.

T he C oon abarabran Times has very kindly asked me to pen a few words about the Wambelong f i re; w h a t f o l l o w s a r e my personal thoughts and

obs er vat ion s t h at a r e informed by me being a crewman of Urabrible 1, and my friendships with those who were impacted.

W hen Urabrible 1 a r r ive d at t he F i r e C ontrol Centre it was a h i v e o f a c t i v i t y, w ith dozens of tr ucks a nd thei r crews bei ng d ispat ched t o va r ious fire-fighting tasks. It was amazing how quickly all of it came together, with local crews being joi ned by volu nt eers from neighbouring towns, augmenting the efforts of the National Parks fire fighters and the Coonabarabran Fire Service, who had been valiantly fighting the fire all day.

Shire assets like graders and their crews were soon on the ground, ma k ing f i re brea ks, aug ment ed by lo c a l earthmoving contractors.

I d i d n ’ t a p p r e c i at e at the time, but a l l this activ ity is highly coordinated and planned for wel l i n adva nce, with all of the agencies involved meeting reg u la rly th rough the year. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes.

T he wat er b ombi n g aircraft are very effective, but who ensures that they have enough fire retardant and fuel?

W hat about something for the pilot to eat and drink? This latter task was admirably fulfilled by local volunteers who flocked to the town hall to prepare meals for the hundreds of people who came to our town to help us.

6 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 12th January 2023

As you leave Coonabarabran and d r ive t o t owa rds the Wa r r u mbu ngles there i s a p oi nt , ab out f ive kilometres out, where the whole of the mountains comes into view. On that i n fer n a l a f t er no on a s Urabrible 1 turned that corner you could see that the mountains were on fire from one end to the other, and I remember thinking, “How will we ever put this out?”

While it wasn’t extinguished that day, it was largely contained thanks to a lot of hard work and a very timely wind change.

A l o t o f b r av e a n d self less acts of courage saved people’s lives and property that day, but if I can single out the wonderful Bob Fenwick and make his part illustrate the whole.

B ob was long-ti me volunteer in the Timor Brigade and was heavily involved that afternoon, at one stage having to lie on the floor of his vehicle under a fire blanket to e s c a p e t h e h e at t h at was so intense that it cooked the rubber seals of his vehicle’s engine.

While he was recovering from this ordeal his own family home came under attack from the fire and was lost , a long w ith many treasured family memories.

While we were lucky that no lives were lost, the Fenwick’s home was one of 50 that were lost, and while buildings can be rebuilt, the emotional t ol l on tho se a f fe c t ed was and continues to be immeasurable.

Now and then January 2023 vs January 2013

WAMEBELONG FIRE: 10TH ANNIVERSARY

Recollections of the fire at the Observatory The personal recollections of Mark Pritchard and Andrew Hopkins are reminders of the severity of the fire and the huge efforts to save infrastructure and lives at Siding Spring Observatory.

Firestorm On Sunday, 13 January at 4.59pm and less than 24 hours after the Wambelong fire had begun, a Rural Fire Service (RFS) volunteer flying in a chopper took the now iconic image of the fire racing up the side of Siding Spring Mountain towards the telescopes and buildings of the Observatory.

Staff and residents of the Observatory had been evacuated only half an hour earlier.

Tw e n t y - f i v e m i n u t e s later, a weather station at

the Observatory reported an external outside t e m p e r a t u r e o f 10 4 . 2 degrees Celsius.

Several buildings at the O bse r vato r y, i ncl ud i ng the l odge fo r vi siti ng astronomers, the Director’s Cottage and the fire shed, subsequently caught fire and were destroyed.

However, largely due to aerial waterbombing and three Fire and Rescue NSW ground crews who worked throughout the night defending the O b s e r va to r y b u i l d i n g s from spot fires and ember

attacks, all the telescopes, the Visitor Centre and the other cottages survived.

Recovery Guided by fire crews, Observatory staff, together with their colleagues from Canber ra, visited the Obser vator y dur ing the following days to assess the damage.

Apart from smoke and ash entering some of the telescope buildings, the telescopes themselves were undamaged.

H o w e v e r, t h e Observator y itself was a mess, with burnt-out tree

trunks and power poles and hazardous material in and around the destroyed buildings.

In addition to the three buildings that were des t royed, many othe r buildings suffered external damage from the fire.

Q u i ck wo r k f ro m th e electr icit y author ities allowed the Observatory to be reconnected to the main grid.

Remarkably, observations with some of the telescopes started only a few weeks after the fire.

In the months and years

prior to the fire, remote observing had been established for some of the telescopes, while other telescopes were robotic.

Ove r the subsequent years, the lodge for visiting astronomers and the fire shed were rebuilt and much of the infrastructure was repaired.

The new lodge has 18 rooms for guests and a wellequipped conference room that can be used for events.

A decade later Ten yea r s o n, th e Observatory is thriving. It continues to be a drawcard

for both astronomers and the public.

Several new telescopes have been built since the fires, and several more are planned for the next few years.

There are also plans to upgrade the Visitor Centre.

The forest surrounding the O bse r vato r y was devastated by the fires.

Many t rees d id not survive. Their skeletons are a poignant reminder of the ferocity of the fire and the caution we must exercise when working and living in the Australian bush.

National Park recovers as new plants emerge Research during the recovery phase of the Warrumbungle National Park has highlighted plant species not known in the park before the fire as well as geological information about the central valley.

Ten yea rs a f t er the devastating Wambelong bushfire, native species a n d v i s i t o r nu m b e r s i n the Wa r r u mbu ngle National Park have shown remarkable recovery.

Visitors are f locking to the park and animals and plants are thriving, with fantastic seasonal displays of wildf lowers and waterfalls.

Nationa l Pa rks a nd W i ld l i fe S er v ic e a r ea manager, John Whittall said the Wambelong fire had significant impacts on the park and the broader community. “ It has been a long, hard road over the last 10 years replacing the infrastructure and facilities and helping the park to regenerate,” Mr Whittall said. “ We n o w h av e a n incredibly high standard of visitor facilities, with more improvements still to come.”

The new and awardwinning Warrumbungle Nationa l Pa rk Visit or Centre has become a focal point. “ Visitors began retu r n i ng t o the pa rk i m m e d i at e l y a f t e r i t reopened, and numbers have exceeded pre Wambelong fire visitation for a number of years,” Mr Whittall said.

“In 2021 around 60,000 people visited the park, one of the highest levels on record, showing the park continues to be a major regional tourism asset and visitor destination for the Coonabarabran community. “ One of our v isitors r e c e nt ly c apt u r e d o n camera the rare sighting of a koala at Crater Bluff. “ Koalas had already suffered a major regional decline pre-2013 and we h ad s er iou s c on c er n s about koalas being present in the park post-fire. “ R ecent sightings such as this one have us cautiously optimistic,” Mr Whittall said.

Reconstruction of the walking track network has been extensive, involving countless hours and hard work in tricky terrain.

Crews rebuilt the iconic Grand High Tops walking track (along with its nine wooden bridges) as well as popular Fan’s Horizon, Gould’s Circuit, West Spirey, Nature Trail, Goorianawa, White Gum, Dagd a , West er n H igh Tops, Ta ra Caves and Bluff Mountain routes.

works, rebu i ld i ng of staff quarters and feral animal control operations faci l ities, assista nce with neighbour fencing, installation of 400 nest boxes, new directional and interpretive signage ac r o s s t he p a rk , a nd t he development of a new f i re ma nagement strategy in consultation w ith lo ca l Ru ra l F i re Service, volunteers and neighbours.

Nationa l Pa rks a nd Wildlife Service ranger Blake McCarthy said the vegetation recovery had also been remarkable. “ For me, the most significant recovery seems to have come in early 2020, when it started raining and felt like it didn’t stop until the end of 2022. “ The abundance and diversity of flora and fauna seems to have exploded,” Mr McCarthy said. “ Right now the park looks great, with water flowing in all the creeks, a nd a va st a r r ay of wildflowers on display.”

Researchers have spent 10 years assessing the effects of the fire on flora and fauna recovery and regeneration.

Their work so far has indicated no net loss in biod iversity, but some changes in distribution, while recovery takes place.

Dr Liz Tasker is the principal scientist, Fire Ecology with the NSW Department of Planning and Environment.

D r Ta s ke r a nd he r c ol le a g ue s h ave b e en visiting Warrumbungle National Park regularly to conduct research into the recovery of vegetation.

“We’ve made some great discoveries during our research and saw a rapid recovery of most of the 650 species of native plants found within the park within a few years,” Dr Tasker said. “ We’ve found 14 new native species that were not known in the park before.

“A m o n g t h e s e a r e two orchids, the Lemons c e nt e d L e e k O r c h id and the Elephant’s Ears, which flower in response to fire.

“We’ve also seen a wide range of animals recover i n nu mb er s , not on ly common species for which the park is known, such as grey kangaroos and redrumped parrots, but also threatened species such as squirrel gliders,” she said.

The results of the major post-fire research effort have been peer reviewed and published.

In addition, a new map of the park geology reveals that the central valley of

the park is actually the crater of a volcano.

New resea rch usi ng laser imaging, detection, a nd ra ng i ng ( L i DA R) technology has revealed that major erosion events like one that happened immediately after the fire, have occurred in the same landscape for millions of years.

Analysis of sediment cores from the ephemeral Dunphy Lake showed that the wetland is 18 ,0 0 0 years old and that fires of the scale of Wambelong have been occurring in the Warrumbungle Ranges for almost 2000 years.

A f ter a decade of rebuilding, there is more to come. Mr Whittall said NPWS is now undertaking major upg rades to infrastructure which was not impacted by fire such as the toilet and shower complex and water supply at Camp Blackman, as well as key improvements to iconic walking tracks, and important upgrades to fire trails.

“With better facilities and more staff than ever b efor e , t he pa rk w i l l continue to support the economy of the region as we look forward to the next chapter,” Mt Whittall said.

Looking back on 202 2 The year didn’t fly by; rather it floated past on swollen rivers, flooded roads and potholes that became billabongs. Thankfully, there were some good news stories too!

by CHRIS WARD Twelve months ago when we rang in 2022 many of us considered it a fresh start, a chance to put

the previous few years of drought, mice plagues and COVID-19 behind us.

But as it got deeper into the year we realised that wouldn’t be the case.

This time around it was floods. Towns like Bylong were vir tually washed away and many others are still counting the cost of the destruction.

However, through it all the Aussie spirit shone in comments heard around town like, “Oh well, it could be worse,” or “better to have more

water than not enough.”

Af te r r i n g i n g i n 2 0 2 3 r e c e n t l y, i t g o t m e questioning, “what next?” but at the same time knowing whatever

The Huntsman Telescope was unveiled at the Siding Spring Observatory.

It is unlike other telescopes in the way that it uses a cluster of Canon camera lenses.

Principal investigator, Doctor Lee Spitler said large photography lenses are being used with “astronomy specific” cameras behind them.

He said it allows for the capture of faint images of distant galaxies.

The year began with an absolute bang for the town of Coonabarabran when one of Australia’s largest cannabis hauls was uncovered on a Dandry property.

It was estimated to be worth in the vicinity of $67 million and directly linked to a Vietnamese crime syndicate.

Police ar rested five men and a woman aged bet ween 23 and 42 and cha rged them w ith numerous drug related offences.

The concept to improve the river conditions between the top and bottom weirs in Coonabarabran took a positive turn when it was announced that funding of $900,000 had been approved.

Several community groups came together for the common cause of cleaning up the Castlereagh River system to make it more user friendly.

Some work on the river banks began with community groups working on eradicating noxious weeds.

August

What’s in a name?

The Coonabarabran Times revealed that prior to 1967 our town was actually spelt with an extra ‘r’ Coonabarrabran.

August marked 55 years since the name had been changed and shortened.

Local historian John Whitehead said there was very little information available as to why and exactly when the changes were made.

January: Dandry drug bust

March: Stop and Play Park closure

March

A major bungle was revealed when the long-awaited Stop and Play park in Coonabarabran was closed to public for safety reasons a day after it was opened.

Apparently, throughout the entire planning and construction stages no one looked up to notice the high-voltage powerlines directly above the park.

It wasn’t until after the first day of it being open that the realisation set in about the dangers and the park was closed to the public.

The issue left Council red faced.

Remediation works to make it safe, which involved transferring the powerlines underground, have since been completed and the park was re-opened to the public just before Christmas.

The Coonabarabran Times grew by an extra three team members.

Jimmy Whalan joined the team as our Indigenous affairs reporter, Emma Harvey joined the crew and has lifted our Facebook and online presence as our digital online content creator and Jayne Murphy joined as sub editor.

The three new recruits have lifted the brand to unexpected heights and we hope you are as proud of the product we deliver each week as we are.

It was a couple of great months for the Coonabarabran Times.

Not only did we welcome new staff in September, but we came away with both a major award and a runner-up citation at the prestigious Country Press Awards held in Sydney.

Times owners Max and Lynne Estens were present to receive the Best Print Advertisement for the Dark Sky Awakens Festival full page ad and runner-up in the Best Advertising Feature category for the coverage of the Baradine Magpies 100-year anniversary.

Wattle was in full bloom around the Shire and also in the Coonabarabran Times office, with the launch of the new wattle magazine – a special publication devoted to sharing the stories of people that call the Warrumbungles home.

Launched in style at the Coonabarabran Visitor Information Centre, the stunning photography and interesting yarns had everyone wanting a copy of wattle for their coffee table.

Community member Brett England first sprouted his idea about forming a Community Garden in Coonabarabran.

Mr England identified an area and even drew up comprehensive plans. However, the initial site fell through.

He soon came up with another option at the end of Robinson Street. Mr England and a number of like-minded residents are still in the planning stages and are working with Council to see the idea come to fruition.

October: Wattle magazine launched

It was a dramatic month with an armed 12-hour siege at a residence in Binnaway.

The incident climaxed when a man, who had barricaded himself in his home, fired shots at police.

In a positive turn of events the man was eventually arrested and no one was hurt.

The ground around the Shire shook when the Black Sorrows rocked a massive crowd at the Bungle Rumble music and food festival in Coonabarabran.

Thousands of people attended the festival and many residents are calling for it to become an annual event.

April saw Coonabarabran celebrate Easter with the annual Bunny Bazaar carnival filling the main street with food stalls, markets and even vintage cars and motorbikes.

In April, towns across the Shire came together for more solemn occasions such as the annual ANZAC Day march and commemorations.

The Baradine Magpies Rugby League Football Club celebrated its 100-year anniversary in style with a ball (the dancing kind, not the passing and kicking kind!).

Keeping the news in Baradine, a man was arrested in an early morning raid by the Australian Federal Police.

He was arrested and charged in connection to a murder that took place in Canberra.

The Coona Cup finally went ahead after it was postponed in October due to torrential flooding.

Just two days before Christmas, the event was d u b b e d t h e ‘Co o n a b a ra b ra n B ow l i n g Cl u b Christmas Race Meet’.

The event was a perfect opportunity for businesses to celebrate their work Christmas parties and a great way for the community to come together and close the calendar on a very eventful year.

UNIVERSITY GRADUATIONS Kindelan Murray: Medicine Proud Gamilaraay woman Kindelan Murray, daughter of Michael and Tanya Murray and grand daughter of Judy and Neville Cain of Coonabarabran, recently obtained a degree in medicine, graduating from the University of Newcastle after six years of study.

“Yaama maliyaa (Hello friends)! I've always had a strong pull towards medicine and healing and this, along with a strong cultural belief to follow my instincts, led me to pursue a lifelong dream of becoming a doctor,” Kindelan said.

“This dream became reality with a host of helping hands along the way, being family, friends, and teachers at Coonabarabran High School.

“I also am giving a big shout out to Doctor Nello, Theo and the rest of his family who played a big part in inspiring and supporting my dream!”

Kindelan is now off to the ‘big smoke’ and will be working between Royal Prince Alfred and Dubbo Base Hospital.

“I hope to become a surgeon of some form, and I intend to inspire those who may be in a similar position that I once was in the past - trying to reach a dream of medicine but not being quite sure how to get there.”

Connor Graham: Doctor of Philosophy A fter completing his HSC at Coonabarabran H i g h S cho ol i n 2 013 , Connor Graham has now graduated university with a Doctor of Philosophy.

The first Community Garden get-together held in 2022 was so popular that organisers are making it a monthly event.

The Community Garden working group will hold another get-together this Sunday, 15 January, at Neilson Park from 9am.

The initial get-together in December was so well received by the general public that Community Garden guru Brett England decided to make it a monthly event, at least until his vision becomes a reality.

His idea of a Community Garden continues to gain support and momentum and the monthly meetings help to keep the ball rolling and build further interest.

“Everyone is invited,” Mr England said.

“It’s about getting together and talking about ideas and plans for the garden and swapping and sharing knowledge and information.”

The morning will kick off at 9am and Mr England has urged anyone with a green thumb – or anyone who would like to develop a green thumb – to turn up.

He said there would be seedlings, plants and produce on hand to swap, trade, sell and give away.

“We really want to make it an enjoyable morning for everyone,” he said.

“We had a coffee van there last time and we’re

trying to get that again.

“It’s all about bringing the community together.”

The group behind the Community Garden has been hard at work in recent weeks raising funds.

They have already raised almost $5000.

Part of those fundraising efforts was the gardening pack Mr England organised for a raffle.

Mr England put together a gardener’s start-up package with a wheelbarrow full of items donated from Roach’s Home Timber and Hardware.

It was drawn before Christmas, with the prize going to Dale French.

As far as the garden itself goes, Mr England said he will continue to work with the Warrumbungle Shire Council.

“At the moment we are waiting on Council to rubber stamp the rezoning of different blocks around town,” he said.

“And once that is done we can move forward with some plans and development.”

Initially, Mr England identified the spare block beside the St Vincent De Paul shop, but without much luck he has turned his attention to the parcel of land at the end of

Robinson Street.

He said it is a great area for the garden with everything needed close by including water access.

“This spot was earmarked 10 years ago for a Community Garden,

but the plans fell through,” Mr England said.

“This time we have a strong following and lots of support from the community, so hopefully we can move forward with it.”

Dale French was the winner of the garden care raffle in aid of the Community Garden project.

WEATHER WATCH Further heavy rain has fallen at Broome and the total rainfall to 7 January was 565mms; very close to the 567mms recorded during the first week of January 1917.

During the third week of January 1917 widespread heavy rain fell in our regions, including Coonabarabran, and looks set to occur again during the third week of this January.

In 2022 Coonabarabran had its coldest year with the mean maximum temperature of 21.7 being the lowest since 21.2 degrees in 1956. It was equal second coldest with 1924.

With 2021 being also notably colder than usual, this makes it the coldest pair of years in Coonabarabran since 1947 and 1948.

T h e h i g h e s t temperature last year at Coonabarabran was 33.9 degrees on 6 January and this was the first time in over 142 years that the highest temperature did not exceed 34 degrees.

Looking at the highest temperature of 34.6 degrees on 26 January 2021, this was the also the

first time that there were successive years that the highest temperature did not reach 35 degrees in Coonabarabran.

Last year was very wet, with 1215.5mms, and this makes this the third successive year that the total rainfall exceeded 1000mms . There were three successive years in Coonabarabran from 1889 to 1891 when over 1000mms was recorded.

The heaviest daily rainfall was 81.7mms on 1 November.

The total number of rain days during 2022 was 134 and this was the greatest number on record in any year; the previous greatest number of rain days in Coonabarabran was 122 days in 1890.

The lowest temperature last year was minus 4.5 degrees on 19 July.

The highest minimum temperature was 20.5 on 18 January. The coldest day was 9.6 on 13 July.

The year finished with the coldest December morning since 2010.

Last year Moree recorded its coldest year since 2010 and on top of this recorded a total of 841mms, which was

253mms above average. It was the second successive year that the rainfall exceeded 800mms (after 881mms in 2021). The records show this has never happened before in the last 143 years at Moree.

The highest temperature during the last three months of 2022 did not reach 36 degrees. The last time the temperature did reach 36 degrees during the last three months of the year was in 1983, which was also very wet from September to November like last year in Moree.

January 1984 was cooler and much wetter than usual over Victoria and most of inland NSW. Heavy rain fell mid January 1984 when a rain depression arrived from the NT. More heavy rain near the end of January 1984.

Sydney recorded its wettest year on record with 2530mms, well above the previous wettest year on record in 1950 when 2194mms was recorded.

Rain fell on 199 days in Sydney last year, just short of the 205 days in 1891 and 212 days in 1893.

Binnaway high-level bridge Binnaway had no high-level bridge over the Castlereagh River to access the western roads to Dubbo, or even back to Coonabarabran. It was served by a low-level causeway to the south of town, which usually got washed away during high floods. The town would be completely isolated from any medical and emergency services in this situation.

A government subsidy became available in 1967 and the plans were prepared by the DMR. It became my job to build a six-span-high level reinforced concrete and steel bridge at the western end of Renshaw Street. It was 200 metres in length and 30 metres above the river bed and S. H. Turner and Sons won the contract to build it for $125,000 (2013 - $5 million).

C o n s t r u c t i o n commenced in March 1968 and Cec De La Torre, Council’s concrete foreman, was appointed as on site supervisor. He was also a carpenter, plumber and powder monkey (exarmy explosives).

An interesting item of the work was the use of a basic flying fox to place all plant and materials in position rather than using a series of cranes. This unit consisted of only two large timber powered poles with all of its steel cable guy ropes and running cables and pulley blocks, a relatively simple lifting and delivery device.

The bridge structure consisted of steel pile foundations driven into the river bed through the sand to the underlying sandstone bedrock. We discovered that the piles went through the sandstone easily, but then reached Napperby Bed volcanics into which the piles were driven about

200mm. They were good foundations. The footings and thin wall piers were reinforced concrete and the abutments were the wingwalls Steel beams 600mm depth were placed on the piers and abutments followed by a reinforced concrete slab deck and steel handrail This bridge was the largest project that I had ever supervised. We had a good contractor and it proceeded quickly without any problems. It certainly was an interesting complex project and much enjoyable because the local councillors had no idea how to complain about any of the construction procedures. It was completed in January 1969 and officially opened in March 1969 by Dr Corry, the long-standing Binnaway GP. Shire Hall 1968-70 In 1968, Council decided to build a shire hall in Coonabarabran. There was a lot of dissension and much heated discussion over the whole shire about this project as it was stated that it was not needed mostly from the ratepayers in the perimeter areas, including the people of Baradine and Binnaway.

Many protest public meetings were held but to no avail, as Council decided to proceed, and a contract was awarded to Thorby Bros of Binnaway

for the sum of $2 million.

One of my jobs with this project was to supervise the construction of the foundations, flooring and structural steelwork. It was completed in 1970 and opened by the Deputy Prime Minister Doug Anthony Shire clerk Wong See wanted a fountain outside the northern windows, so a court yard was proposed; ending up as a paved area attached to the north-eastern sides of the building. It was eventually covered in with a flat roof and the famous fountain ended up in its corner. It was a bloody eyesore and never worked properly, always leaking somewhere. Whenever some organisation used the court yard a special ceremony had to take place to turn it on. It was removed in 1986 when Wong See retired.

As you can see, the building ended up as a bit of a bitzer, things being added on and items not included such as stage lighting and sound facilities. There were many short comings in its design.

I organised a time capsule built from 150mm copper pipe containing historic letters and documents with 1970 paraphernalia and this was inserted in the foundations on the front northern side of the stage.

Council meetings Jim McEvoy was

Shire president through the latter stages of the telescope development and his Irish accent and sayings were a constant wonder to the highpowered visitors. Not only was Jim entertaining, he was also an able administrator for the shire, particularly when it came to negotiating the best conditions and funding.

This did not change much after Renshaw left and the presidency was taken over by Jim. He was renowned for many sayings. One where he referred to the two thirds contribution made by the Main Roads Department for government grants - calling it a “two turds” grant. One never knew which direction Jim would take when a councillor was indecisive. He would term it as “running with the hares and howling with the hounds”.

Unemployment relief works This was the Whitlam period and unemployment was high everywhere. A more sophisticated method of employing and operating was in place, different to the 1960s. Council had to provide plant, materials and supervision for over 60 people and had to match with further funds. More paperwork was needed and this placed a lot of work on the poor Shire clerk’s department. The result was I did not see

Binnaway bridge construction in the 1960s.

costing figures until well after some of the projects were completed; very unsatisfactory.

I had to once again keep my own costing which was not very efficient. The main works in Coonabarabran was the Royal Hotel parking area and drainage, kerb and gutter, and footpaths in town. Both Binnaway and Baradine also received much of the kerb and guttering.

The causeway installation and reconstruction continued as many had been washed away in the flooding storms of that period.

I also employed two university graduates, Paul DalPuget and Bob Parker, for about 12 months. They were both used in survey and design works in all of Council’s works. Bob was particularly good at water and sewer. One of his jobs was to inspect sewer manholes. In Timor Street he was once down a manhole with the lid off when a little old lady poked her head down it to see what was going on. Up popped Bob with his shock of red hair and beard with high powered glasses and asked her if she would like to come down and have a look. She was so shocked at the site of this monster from the deep that she came up and complained to the Council about the ‘monster’ in the hole.

Jockey Club delivers the goods with Christmas Cup After the original date of 23 October saw the 2022 Coonabarabran Cup washed out due to heavy rain, the meet was eventually moved to Friday, 23 December.

by CHRIS WARD As the big day drew closer Coonabarabran Jockey Club committee members held their breath and crossed their fingers as a downpour of rain hit the area on the Wednesday prior to race day.

But it wasn’t enough to cancel the event and thankfully a full day of racing was had on a soft five rated track, two days out from Christmas.

I n t h e m a i n eve nt, race seven, the Coonabarabran Bowling Club Showcase Cup over 1600 metres, the Garry Lunn trained

Knifes Edge sliced through a compact field w ith M i kay l a Wei r on board to take the win.

Knifes Edge finished too strong for the tiring High Court, trained by Rodney G raham and ridden by Grant Buckley.

Buckley had a fa n ta s t i c d a y i n t h e s a d d l e, w i n n i n g t h e previous race – the 1400 metre Brad Edwards airconditioning / Daik in Showcase Benchmark 6 6 H a n d i ca p o n t h e Clint Lundholm trained, Vital Verse.

Buckley jumped well out of the gates on Vital Verse and led the entire way. The $1.90 favourite,

M e m o r i es, r i d d e n by Shayleigh Ingelse and trained by Michael Mulholland was unlucky, getting impeded early befo re rat tl i ng home late and missing out by just a head.

Buckley finished the day with three seconds a third and the win on Vital Verse.

As well as a fantastic day of raci ng action it tu r ned out to be a per fect day all round, with about 500 people th rough the gates soaking up the wonderful weather.

Even Santa Cl aus made an appearance despite his busy

schedule.

Coonabarabran Jockey Club president, Ad a m F r e e m a n s a i d the committee was just happy to have racing return to town.

Mr Freeman said the success of the Christmas Cup has set the club up nicely for 2023.

“Our first race meet for the year is coming u p o n S a t u r d a y, 18 February,” he said. “ We’re l ook i ng for ward to putting on another g reat day of racing off the back of the Christmas Cup last month.”

Foyer access granted Long-running push for foyer access results in win for Moree military museum MOREE

By DYLAN SMITH

editor@nwcourier.com.au

A six-year campaign to gain access to the foyer at the Moree and District War Memorial Education

$5 million boost for damaged Moree roads MOREE Moree Plains Shire Council will receive an almost $5.2 million boost to fix flood-affected roads.

The funding, announced by the Premier last week, comes as part of the second round of the Regional and Local Roads Repair program.

The announcement has been welcomed by Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall.

Continued on page 2

RIGHT: Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall has welcomed the almost $5.2 million boost to fix flood-affected roads in Moree Plains Shire Council.

Local government areas across the electorate have been awarded more than $20 million.

Centre has resulted in a positive outcome for the Moree RSL Regional Military Museum.

The Moree RSL sub-branch has long sought access to the foyer of the facility, at the corner of Balo and Albert Streets, to enable full access to the museum.

At the heart of the RSL’s campaign has been the need to adequately showcase the honour roll which had been previously removed during renovations.

Former long-serving councillor John Tramby OAM, who is well-known for his involvement

with the RSL, welcomed the favourable outcome which was determined at the December meeting of Moree Plains Shire Council.

At the meeting, councillors resolved to create a single foyer between the military museum and

the neighbouring Dhiiyaan Aboriginal Centre.

Councillors also agreed to ensure that renovations ensure the recognition of all fallen soldiers, including Aboriginal soldiers.

Further funding for flood-affected roads Continued from front page

The funding for Moree Plains Shire is part of a $20.85 million shot-in-the-arm from the state government to help local government areas across the Northern Tablelands electorate.

Councils are struggling to keep on top of the growing number of potholes and damage on local roads following last year’s disastrous floods.

Mr Marshall said the additional funding allocation represented a massive five-fold increase on the assistance provided to the region’s councils in the first round late last year.

“We couldn’t have wished for a better start to the new year than with this additional urgent funding to fix more dangerous sections on our local roads right now,” Mr Marshalll said.

“It’s a huge allocation for our local councils, which we weren’t expecting but will gladly welcome – every extra slice of cash helps enormously.”

Mr Marshall said councils would use the extra money, which they will all received in the coming weeks, to cover the cost and ease

workload pressures for urgent repairs to the most damaged sections of their local road networks across the region.

“With almost record rainfall being experienced across our region in the last 12 months – and two floods thrown in for the Moree district – our local roads have copped an absolute flogging are many are in the worst condition locals can remember,” Mr Marshall said.

“To make matters worse, the wet weather and difficulty in sourcing contractors and road crews has hampered councils’ efforts to undertake any major repairs, instead just temporarily patching what they can now.

“This second hit of extra cash alone isn’t the panacea, but it is another welcome boost for our councils and their road crews, who trying to take advantage of the current dry period to complete as much repair work as they can.”

Under this second funding round, councils were again allocated funding based on the size of their local road network.

Neighbouring Narrabri Shire is set to receive more than $3.5 million.

IN BRIEF

Gunnedah flags bid to host national water conference If water is wealth – then Gunnedah has much to advocate for as part of its membership with the Murray Darling Association (MDA).

It is the reason why Gunnedah Shire Council mayor Jamie Chaffey has flagged his ambition to co-host an upcoming MDA national conference.

Cr Chaffey, who attended last year’s conference in Albury alongside colleague Cr Robert Hoddle, said Gunnedah could also stand to benefit as conference hosts.

“I think we should combine with Tamworth Regional Council to bid to host the conference in 2023-24,” Cr Chaffey said.

“There hasn’t been a conference in this part for a very long time but what we’re seeing

with natural disasters and dam capacity, there is much to talk about in the northern basin.”

Among the big talking points is the federal government’s plan to recover 450GL of water from the Murray Darling’s northern basin - which takes in Gunnedah - for environmental purposes.

Federal Minister for Environment and Water Tanya Plibersek told conference attendees, this mandate was “non-negotiable”.

It is this mandate which concerns new conference delegate and Gunnedah citrus grower, Cr Hoddle.

He said it is vital Gunnedah maintain its association membership with ongoing changes to water allocations in the Murray Darling system.

“I went with the mayor to the conference and had a fairly open mind about how useful it would be,” he said.

The extensive road networks across both shires were battered by the major flooding experienced in late 2022.

“Councils are responsible for maintenance on the local road network so this second and larger cash hit will help ease some of the pressure they are facing and boost the resources they can draw upon to fix the most damaged roads,” Mr Marshall said.

“It will also help reduce the number popped tyres, bent rims and other vehicle damage being sustained by motorists as they try to navigate some challenging road conditions.”

Premier Dominic Perrottet said the new Regional and Local Roads Repair program would provide even more support for councils to continue to carry out urgent repair work to ensure people stay connected and safe.

“We have listened to councils and we understand the pressure they are under from many months of wet weather. This funding boost will help councils continue the huge job of bringing roads back up to scratch to keep our state moving,” Mr Perrottet said.

“We are making sure our roads are in the best nick possible so NSW families, truckies, farmers and tradies can travel around our state safely.

“We recognise potholes are a major hazard right now. This critical funding injection will help every council across the state patch up potholes as well as carry out other emergency repair work.”

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW Paul Toole said the road network had been battered, with hundreds of thousands of potholes opening up across the state and some roads washed away by landslips.

“Families who hit the road during Christmas would have seen firsthand the scale of the damage caused by last year’s flooding and rain,” Mr Toole said.

“This $500 million boost is on top of the $50 million already provided by the Liberals and Nationals government to help regional councils carry out emergency pothole repairs. We always said there would be more support on the way and today we are delivering on that.

“Since the February floods we have repaired more than 170,000

potholes across regional NSW alone. This additional funding will help repair hundreds of thousands more, right across the state.”

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said the application process will be simple and the cash will be available immediately so councils can get on with the job of urgently restoring the state’s road network.

“The new funding will start landing in councils’ bank accounts within weeks so work can begin right away on repairing the essential roads locals, tourists and freight operators use every day,” Mr Farraway said.

“We understand that it’s not just about financial assistance, manpower is also needed, which is why the NSW Liberals and Nationals government has already redeployed 200 Transport for NSW crews to Western NSW to help in the worst impacted areas.”

Funding under the $500 million Regional and Local Roads Repair Program is available to local government areas in both greater Sydney and regional NSW. Repair work must be carried out by December 31, 2023.

Riding without a helmet leads to alleged thief’s arrest Police news About 12:20pm on Thursday, January 5, Moree Highway Patrol officers saw a 21-year-old man on Edward Street riding a bicycle without a helmet.

The man initially tried to take off from police but was stopped a short distance later.

Officers developed reasonable suspicion to search the man, locating $1400 worth of tools that had just been stolen from a local business in Moree.

The business was unaware the items had been stolen.

Checks on the bicycle that the man was riding revealed that it had been stolen from Moree in April 2022.

The 21-year-old Moree man was

arrested and charged with shoplifting/larceny, possessing house breaking implements, goods in custody, not wearing a bicycle helmet, ride on footpath (over 16) and ride negligently.

He will appear at Moree Local Court on February 13, 2023.

Young driver charged twice in 20 minutes Walgett Highway Patrol charged a 19-year-old man from Dubbo twice in 20 minutes following a vehicle stop in Brewarrina.

About 9:20am on Monday, December 26, police attached to Walgett Highway Patrol detected a Nissan Navara travelling at 64 kmh in a signposted 50 kmh zone.

Upon stopping the vehicle, police noted that the vehicle was subject to an uncleared defect notice from 2021, had registration that expired in July of 2021,

and had several large boxes in the tray of the utility which were not secured nor affixed.

Police had established that the 19-year-old driver had never held a licence.

The driver was issued with several penalty notices totalling $2584 and 10 demerit points.

The driver was further charged with never licensed person drive vehicle on road.

About 9:40 am on the same day, with the assistance from members of the public, police from Walgett Highway Patrol again detected the same driver, driving the same vehicle, in the same place.

He was again charged with several offences.

The man is due to appear before Brewarrina Local Court on February 7, 2023.

Be safe on waterways urges minister NSW lakes, rivers and dams have received record amounts of water this year and NSW Minister for Water Kevin Anderson is warning holidaymakers to please show caution when swimming and boating on our waterways.

“The holiday period is traditionally a time for people to get out and about and enjoy NSW waterways, but it is important that they are able to do so safely,” Mr Anderson said.

“The NSW government wants people to be able to enjoy our waterways, whether it be for fishing or water sports, but we need to be mindful of changes to conditions and other safety risks. It is important that people check local conditions, safety warnings that may be posted, and the WaterNSW

website.”

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said people should take extra care around waterways this holiday season.

“After the flooding we’ve experienced this year there could be more hazards in and around our waterways, so please listen to advice from the agencies and our volunteers to make sure you and your loved ones have a fun but safe day,” Ms Cooke said.

Large supply dams and downstream waterways have experienced record torrents of floodwaters across an extraordinary 6-12 months which saw almost all of regional NSW experience some degree of inunda-

“Many dams are likely to be experiencing widespread flood debris and changes to water depth,” Mr Anderson said.

“Along the riverbanks and foreshores there will be the risk of bank collapse and with it, the risk of trees falling as a result of being undermined by weeks of fast-flowing floodwaters.

“Another potential hazard is the prevalence of blue-green algae, the growth of which is spurred on by the nutrients carried into our dam storages by the floodwaters.

“People should take the time to check the WaterNSW website to confirm that their preferred site has re-opened to the public, the status of any blue-green algae in the area and any other warnings in place.”

tion.

As a result our popular dams and waterways used as recreational areas may feature unknown hazards such as: • Changes in dam storage height, concealing underwater snags and creating unfamiliar conditions.

• Increased risk for blue-green algae due to nutrients carried into storages by floodwaters.

• Flood debris collected in dam storages, floating on the surface and submerged.

• Riverbanks eroding and collapsing.

• Unstable shoreline trees prone to collapsing.

• Changes in depth due to creation or disappearance of sand bars due to flood activity.

Building concerns on right track for military museum Continued from front page

In a statement after the meeting, council said the creation of a foyer will allow both licensees and the public a safe accessible and secure entrance to the building.

“This action results from consultation with representatives of the Moree Aboriginal community and members of the RSL Sub-Branch Committee to explain council’s rights and obligations and what will be respectful to both parties,” council’s statement read.

At the December meeting, councillors also agreed that the Moree and District World War II Honour Roll will be placed in an appropriate space following consultation with all parties.

“This practical solution of a foyer to create one entrance servicing each facility will not impact on their licensed areas and will reduce additional costs of providing an additional toilet within the museum,” a council spokesperson said.

The matter was due to be heard before council at a meeting in October, however, that meeting was cancelled as a result of the wet conditions experienced that month.

At the December ordinary meeting, mayor Mark Johnson and Cr Kelly James moved the recommendations to construct a single foyer and to work with parties to ensure the foyer space reflects both facilities needs and recognises all fallen soldiers from Moree.

Mr Tramby said it had taken many years, legal action and discussions with council to resolve the matter.

“The centrepiece of the whole building is the honour roll,” he said.

“The license agreement has now been honoured,” Mr Tramby said of the outcome.

The whole building is a memorial and I believe we are now on the right track to move this problem forward.

The museum has displays ready to go and Mr Tramby said it is hoped the facility will be able to source additional funding to obtain more display cabinets.

In addition to the museum, Mr Tramby hopes the 60-seat theatre will be able to be used to its full potential.

Mr Tramby was among several speakers who addressed the December meeting about the foyer concerns and the regional military museum.

Michael Hankey said the point of access for the museum for disabled people was through the foyer.

“We haven’t been able to use the building for the purpose that we got it for,” Mr Hankey told councillors.

“I believe the museum is for the better of the town. Everyone is asking when it will be open.”

Following Mr Hankey, Mr Tramby addressed the meeting and said he congratulated the general manager on a factual and concise report.

Mr Tramby did correct one matter in the report, highlighting that it is not an RSL memorial but an honour roll of the people of Moree.

“The honour roll belongs to the people of Moree,” Mr Tramby said.

“The whole building is a memorial and I believe we are now on the right track to move this problem forward.”

Council’s general manager Nick Tobin

told the meeting the matter was a culmination of additional work reviewing the legal position in relation to licences at the centre.

This involved further consultation with the community as well as collaboration with both parties.

“I think this is a practical and sound solution. It’s not going to keep everyone happy but it is something that the community should be able to work with,” Mr Tobin said.

“It allows everyone to get along with their own licenced areas and do the great work they are doing in those areas.”

Cr Johnson said the matter had been ongoing for several years, however, he believed the outcome was respectful to both licensees.

When asked about funds for the wall works, Cr Johnson said $500,000 was in the budget.

“We are proposing that any works that need to be done will come out of that budget in addition to the other repairs that need to be done,” he said.

Works will commence this year alongside upgrade works to the entire Moree and District War Memorial Education Centre and Memorials building.

Boy from Bourke who dedicated a lifetime to service, community GUNNEDAH

By JEN MITCHELL

The name David Moses is synonymous with Gunnedah through his years of service at the Gunnedah Fire Station and to the community.

He recently received his final march out from the fire station after 47 years service.

After growing up in Bourke, Mr Moses moved to Gunnedah in 1972 with the intention of only staying for three months.

However, after 50 years he is continuing serve in the Gunnedah area.

In 1975, he was offered to join the NSW Volunteer Fire Brigade and within six weeks he was on the truck.

“I’m not in it for the money I never was. I didn’t know we were paid when I first joined. My first pay was $10 for the month. I brought a set of car rims - I have still have them,” he said.

He watched as the brigade evolved including a name change to Fire and Rescue NSW. “Back when we first started, we didn’t have pagers, we had bells in our house,” he recalled.

His time in the service meant he travelled past Gunnedah’s borders to

help those in trouble.

“Two Lismore floods … Newcastle storms, floods in Moree, Tingha fire.

“During the 2019-20 floods we were everywhere,” he said, which only depicts a small part of his time working is for the Gunnedah Fire Station.

After joining the brigade, he met his wife, Allyson, a single mother who complemented him as a single dad.

“We weren’t meant to last, but we proved people wrong,” he said.

They married in 1994 and had more children.

He and Allyson would later become carers for Allyson’s sister for 12 years.

They now have three grandchildren and are hoping to spend more time with family during upcoming downtime.

While working for the brigade, Mr Moses started his business in 1997 which specialises in fire protection and is continuing to service the Gunnedah area.

Mr Moses retired from Gunnedah Fire and Rescue on Friday, December 16, 2022.

“It’s about my family,” he said, “behind every firefighter is the people at home”.

He continues to serve as a councillor on the Gunnedah Shire Council and remains focused on his business.
