Council announces new general manager Warrumbungle Shire Council has secured a new general manager with the appointment of Lindsay Mason, following an Extraordinary Meeting of Council held in Coonabarabran on Wednesday, 5 March.

Mr Mason is not a new face at Council and was previously employed as di rector of corporate services.

M a yo r, C r Ka t h r y n Rindfleish welcomed Mr Mason’s appointment, highlighting his extensive experience in local government and deep connection to the region.

“We are pleased to have Lindsay on board,” Cr Rindfleish said.

“While we have made some positive ground of late, the appointment allows Council to take the next steps for our region.

“Lindsay brings w ith h i m a wea lth of knowledge, as well as a n u n d e r s ta n d i n g of

the Shire’s challenges, community and opportunities.”

G row i n g u p i n t h e district, Mr Mason began his local gove r nment career in 1989 with the fo r m e r C o o l a h S h i r e Council, and was most recently employed a s Co u n ci l’s d i recto r of corporate and community services.

M r M a so n sa i d t h e p rev i o u s few m o nt h s focus for the Council had been based on driving better performance. “ I t ’s a g r e a t s t a r t and moving fo r wa rd, f i n a n c i a l p r u d e n c y, asset management and a desire for improved performance will move us together, in the right d i rection,” M r Mason

said.

“Whilst Warrumbungle Shire has its challenges – distances and funding juggles as a start – the community has a lot of potential.

“I look for ward to wo r k i ng w ith the Co u n c i l , co u n c i l l o r s , s taf f and com m un it y to p u s h fo r t h e b e s t outcomes.”

Cr Rindfleish thanked all councillors who had been involved in the extensive general manager selection p ro ce s s a n d of fe re d appreciation to director of environmental services, Leeanne Ryan, who had also stepped u p to th e ro l e i n th e absence of a permanent general manager.

Get to know your new GM Can you tell us a bit about your background and what led you to a career in local government?

I grew up in Coolah and went to the local central school, so fairly humble beginnings I guess. From there I kicked off my Council career with the Coolah Shire Council back in 1989 as the expenditure clerk…basically, I was responsible for making sure the bills were paid and the employees got their pay each week. I had wanted to only spend a shor t time in the role, as I wanted to travel the world, but fast for ward 36 years and that country kid’s dream of globe-trotting has remained just that. I have also been lucky enough to have worked at Cabonne, Dubbo and Narrabri Councils during my career. I might have started in accounting, but many would be familiar with my time running the Dubbo Regional Airport for 11 years on behalf of Dubbo Regional Council.

Having al ready been pa r t of Wa r r u m b u n g l e S h i re Co u n ci l a s director of corporate and community services and serving as acting GM, how has that experience shaped your approach in this new role?

This time has given me a frontrow seat to the various issues that are affecting communities around the Shire, from being across my old portfolio as director corporate and community services, to simply having boots on the ground right here. Having grown up in the Shire, I’m familiar with many of the stakeholders, which I guess allows me to better understand the wants and needs of people. I like to think I’m fairly approachable and always prepared to listen. It’s fair to say that I have been able to hit the ground running in this respect.

What are your top priorities/goals for Warrumbungle Shire in the short and long term?

In the short term, Council is preparing its Operating Plan and Budget for the 2025/26 financial year. My priority is to prepare a responsible budget to allow Council to live within its means. Money is always tight in smaller rural councils, with competing needs for scarce resources. My goal is to avoid the need for special rate variations in the future.

I n the l ong e r te r m, Counci l i s cur rently prepar ing to review the

Warrumbungle Community Strategic Plan 2022-2037, and we will shortly be ask ing fo r feedback from the community. This strategic document sets out the longer-term goals that Council will be aspiring to, so keep an eye out for the opportunity to provide this information to Council.

What do you see as the biggest challenges facing the Shire, and how do you plan to address them?

Ageing infrastructure and water security are big issues for Council, as well as the effects of the Renewable Energy Zone (REZ). Council needs to be i n a position to ef fectively manage its assets to maintain them into the future, and to continuously upgrade as required. The directors and I are continuing to monitor and assess possible impacts from the REZ on behalf of the community, and all of our work/submissions related to this can be viewed on our webpage.

What’s your leadership style, and how do you plan to engage with the local community, staff and councillors?

I have a very open leadership style, and like to collaborate with staff rather than command. Good ideas come from the most unlikely places I have found, so I like to foster innovative thinking. I attend many community meetings and events and have a good rapport with people. The Shire is lucky to have a great bunch of councillors from all walks of life, and I try to engage as much as possible. A good working relationship and mutual respect is always the key to success.

On a more personal note, what do you enjoy most about living and working in the Warrumbungle region?

The region is a fantastic place. It’s always the people who make the difference – and there are plenty who are making a difference. My kids are grown up now and have left home, but I try to catch up with them when I can.

I am an avid music fan and also love my sport. I played cricket, golf, rugby league and rugby union for Coolah in my past, but the highlight of each year is playing in the veteran’s touch footy carnival in Coolah for the mighty Bastinados team, which is made up from former and current legends.

Sal Edwards presented with Barwon Woman of the Year Coolah’s Sally Edwards has been named the 2025 Barwon Local Woman of the Year in recognition of her dedication to rural communities and tireless advocacy for regional NSW. T he L o ca l Women of the Year Awards celebrate prog ressive th i n kers, everyday heroes, social advocates and role models across the state.

Ms Edwards was one of 93 women nominated by their local M Ps and acknowledged as part of NSW Women’s Week (2-8 March).

Member for B a r won , Roy Butler, commended Ms Edwards’ contribution to her community.

“Sal Edwards is the kind of quiet achiever that makes our community a better place to live,” Mr Butler said. “ S a l i s s el f le s s a nd diligent in getting involved in many aspects of the community of Coolah and neighbouring communities.

“People like Sally keep projects moving forward a n d o t h e r c o m mu n i t y members engaged. I wish there were a thousand more of her.”

Ms Edwards received her award at the NSW Wo m e n o f t h e Ye a r Awards’ ceremony at the International Convention Centre in Syd ney on 6 March.

As a volunteer from a regional area, she will also be added to the 2024 Hidden Treasures Honour Roll,

which recognises women who dedicate their time and energy to helping others.

Federal candidate The recognition comes as Ms Edwards prepares for a new challenge, having announced her candidacy for the Federal seat of Parkes as a Libertarian candidate in the upcoming election.

She said her decision to enter politics stemmed f r om f r u s t r at ion w it h government policies that she believes work against rural communities.

For now, however, her focus remains on the honour of being named Barwon Woman of the Year. “ T h is awa rd is a reflection of the strong and determined communities I have had the privilege to be part of,” Ms Edwards said.

She expressed gratitude to those who have supported her advocacy efforts over t he ye a r s , s ay i n g t he recognition was not just for her, but for the many people working to improve rural and regional communities.

“I’m incredibly honoured to receive this award and I hope it shines a light on the resilience, strength, and potential of the people in rural Australia,” she said.

Novel stitches: artist rewrites the fabric of books A new chapter in the life of a local fabric textile artist has commenced, with the opening of her first major exhibition of work.

by LIZ CUTTS ‘Bookish’, by Baradine artist Tina Pech, features imaginative creations using traditional and invented construction methods, as well as alternative stitching and materials, to create a collection of book-like sculptures which push and challenge how we regard books and their

functions.

A self-confessed bookworm, Tina explores the question of the allure of books and why we like them in her exhibition that opened at the Western Plains Cultural Centre in Dubbo on Saturday, 1 March.

“My creative practice is heavily influenced by the physicality of books, their tactility, warmth

and tangible presence,” she said.

“Through the practice of constructing and deconstructing books, I am exploring their physical structure and experimenting and playing with a book’s boundaries and anatomy.

“I am asking ‘why do we like books?’ Is it just their content we admire, or their look and feel, or

even their smell? What makes a book more than a literary object?

“Books historically have been valued as the keepers of knowledge. Books house both information and imagination: they contain our stories, records, secrets and potential for growth, insight and change.

While they remain

Baradine textile artist, Tina Pech has opened new chapter in her life with her first major exhibition, called ‘Bookish’.

silent communicators, their power is towering, inspiring us to read, absorb, inscribe and to become story tellers in our own right.”

Tina was given the opportunity to display a collection of her work through the Western Plains Cultural Centre HomeGround, a professionaldevelopment program for emerging artists focusing on those wanting to expand their skills and benefit from the experience of working alongside curatorial staff within a professional gallery.

A special education teacher, Tina describes herself as a mixedmedia artist, working primarily with textiles with a particular focus

on fibre art, bookbinding, costumes and millinery.

She is a published writer and poet and defines her work as a space where things collide and mix, creating a dialect of its own.

“I particularly love anything to do with books and book binding is a skill I have learnt over a period of time,” she added.

“I am a member of the online book binding community, which is pretty amazing and inspiring.

“Once I have set a theme, it is then all about the materials and getting creative. I like to play around with the binding and various techniques, which sometimes stretch the true concept of a book. I want to give the

idea that a book is not just something to read, but an object to admire and be decorative; there is a lot of playful experimentation in my work on the structural nature of books.

“This collection of works is the result of a creative journey for me. I feel that it brings together my love for reading, journalling, book binding and artistic textile sculpturing.

“I think everyone will have a different experience when they view the exhibition because it is both visual and tactile; it is about the places books take us to, whether real or imaginary – and there aren’t any limits to that.”

Women supporting women at International Women’s Day event Women in Coonabarabran came together on Tuesday, 4 March, to celebrate International Women’s Day at Feathers Cafe. Organised by leadership development coach and facilitator Heidi McGlashan, of Daring Leadership, the evening was an opportunity for women to share stories, discuss challenges, and explore ways to support each other.

The event welcomed 25 women who engaged in conversations about the barriers they face, including balancing f a m i l y, w o r k a n d personal time, as well as navigating societal expectations.

The d i scus sion a l so tu r ned to p ractical ways wo m en ca n l if t e a c h ot h e r u p, w i t h suggestions such as performing random acts of kindness, extending invitations for coffee or walks, actively listening and simply being kind.

“It was a great night – great venue and great food from Jess Dafter!”

Ms McGlashan said. “ K i r r i l y V i n ce r a n d I sha red some of ou r own stories of the power of women suppor ting women and we then

had some faci l itated conve r sati on about what a re the cu r rent challenges facing women.”

The 2024 International Women’s Day theme, ‘Ac c e l e r a te Ac t i o n’, resonated strongly with the attendees.

Ms McGlashan, w ho has wo r ked i n education for 30 years as a teacher, deput y principal and principal, said she was committed to empowering women in thei r per sonal and professional lives.

“I am committed to supporting, encouraging and empower ing other women in the workplace and in their lives,” she said.

2025 COONA SHOW: 7-8 MARCH

Meet Meg: 2025 Young Woman Megan “Meg” Hain, has stepped up to the plate, taking on the role of Coonabarabran Young Woman 2025 at this year’s Coonabarabran Show.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY With a lived experience of life on the land and a love for rural communities, Meg encapsulates the qu a l i ti e s requi red to represent the region in the next stage of the Young Woman competition.

Meg has lived on the family farm outside of Coonabarabran all of her life and said her upbringing had fostered her appreciation for all

things agriculture.

“Growing up on the farm has nurtured my love for animal husbandry and the rural lifestyle,” Meg said.

She is passionate about livestock and ensuring they have the best life whilst they are in her care.

“I love caring for animals from when they are born to being trucked off – you get to see their individual personalities,” she said.

So what does a day in

the life of Coonabarabran Show’s Young Woman look like?

“Most of my responsibilities revolved around talking to the community. I awarded ribbons to exhibitors and had lots of photos taken.

“My face was sore from smiling by the end of the day!”

Heading into the experience, Meg was hoping to build more confidence around public speaking and

networking.

“I was nervous about public speaking, but honestly, it wasn’t nearly as daunting as I expected. It was great exposure.”

Alongside public speaking, Meg built on other skills over the weekend.

“I gained more confidence in myself and my own abilities.”

When Meg was asked about how she planned to promote agriculture

and advocate for rural issues, she said she wanted to open more discussions around animal husbandry.

“I think it is important for people to know where their animal products come from.

“Everyone should experience or have an understanding of the rural lifestyle.”

Meg praised the Coonabrabran Show committee for the support she received

while taking on the Young Woman role.

“I honestly felt so supported the entire time by the whole committee, in particular by Kelly Leedham and last year's Young Woman, Annie Edwards.

“They were in my corner for the entirety of the experience and made it so fun.”

Meg encouraged local young women to put their hand up for the role.

“I couldn’t recommend

the experience enough.

“It brought me out of my shell and should be something every young woman has a crack at in their life.

“I am so glad I had the opportunity to participate this year.”

People interested in taking part in the Coonabarabran Show’s Young Woman compeition in 2026 are urged to reach out to the Coonabarabran Show committee.

2025 COONA SHOW: 7-8 MARCH

Coona Show catch-up The Coonabarabran Show has enjoyed another highly-successful year, bringing locals and visitors together to exhibit their skills and enjoy a range of entertainment.

Last weekend, a total of 2,650 people walked through the gates of the Coonabarabran Showground for the annual event.

The pavilions were well-stocked with produce, baked goods and artwork, highlighting the community's skill and creativity.

Coonabarabran Show Society president, Callen Thompson, shared his thoughts on the event.

“The show has followed suit from last year – we received plenty of positive feedback,” he said.

Callen emphasised the work of the committee and the broader community in bringing the event together.

“It is the best committee I have been involved in. Everyone got in and helped,” he said.

The rodeo attracted a large crowd on Friday night, showcasing the talent of locals and competitors from across state lines.

“We had some pretty good stock for the young cowboys and

cowgirls,” Callen said.

Tribute He also shared the devastating news of ex-secretary David Rayner’s passing on Saturday. A minute of silence was held to honour his immense contribution to the committee and the organisation of the show over the years.

Following the tribute, the fireworks display took place, which Callen said did not disappoint.

However, a special moment during the show highlighted why the event is so important to him.

“Early Friday morning in the art pavilion, while we were setting up, a little girl around five-years-old ran in looking for her entry. When she found out she had won, she jumped up and down shouting, ‘I won, I won!’ That is why we do it,” he said.

The Art Preview night was also wellattended, with around 100 people enjoying the evening.

Art steward, Sue Brookhouse, who also took out the supreme champion art prize, commented on the

exhibits.

“The standard was high this year and, with 76 entries (excluding children's entries), the pavilion was perfectly full,” she said.

Sue noted that the Orbital Swing Band provided great entertainment, playing a collection of jazz pieces throughout the evening.

The pastel section particularly caught her eye this year, with many beautiful pieces on display.

The younger generation was also well-represented, with an impressive collection of artwork.

“The theme this year for Kindergarten to Year Six was local birds, and they smashed it with their displays,” Sue said.

She also praised the quality of the exhibitors.

“We were missing some of our regulars for various reasons.

However, we had a great representation from newer artists with amazing work, considering many have only recently picked up the skill,” she said.

Samantha Smith, from SHS Announcing, once again emceed the Show’s events, showcasing what the community has to offer.

Sam remarked on the quality of exhibits and exhibitors.

“We were lucky this year with so many great exhibitors. We were fortunate enough to have the last qualifying ag show for Sydney Royal in the cattle section. This resulted in some great exhibits, bringing competitors who had never been before,” she said.

She also highlighted what the Show and the agricultural team provide for younger generations of future farmers and agricultural enthusiasts.

“The opportunity the Coonabarabran Show Ag team provides the younger generation with is imperative,” Sam said.

She noted that the horse section was well attended over the two days.

“The Triple Crown o f t h e N o r t h W e st competition, which ran across Binnaway,

Coonabarabran, and Mendooran shows, brought the most Australian Stock Horse competitors I have seen in Coona for years,” she said.

Many locals take the opportunity to catch up with friends and family at the Show, but its role in the community is more significant than some may realise.

“Ag shows are a celebration of our region and what we produce. It is what we work 365 days of the year towards,” Sam said.

She also spoke about the connections forged between the community and agriculture through local shows.

“Some community members may not know the primary production we have in our area.

The agricultural industry is so vast,” she said.

Coonabarabran Show provides the perfect opportunity for the community to get involved and gain a deeper understanding of local production.

Food Pantry helps provide relief to the community Organised by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the Coonabarabran Food Pantry offers the local community an alternative solution to combat the cost of living crisis

by CLAUDIA HEANEY E v e r y T h u r s d a y, volu nt eers gather t o provide the community with groceries at a lower cost, supporting those in need.

WEATHER WATCH The very hot and dry conditions which have continued at Alice Springs since the end of December, has reached record situations during the first nine days of March.

On Sunday, 9 March, the temperature reached 42.5 – the fifth time that 42 degrees or above has been reached. In 145 years there has never been more than two days with the maximum temperature reaching 42 degrees during March.

It has been very dry at Alice Springs to date this year, with only 3.2mms recorded, the driest since 2mms in 1989. Interestingly, heavy rain reached Alice Springs during mid March 1989 and this later spread to our region.

Tropical cyclone Alfred has certainly in its erratic movements, setting up flood rains of a record nature mainly in south-eastern Queensland over the past few days.

Brisbane was swamped by 275.2mms to 9am on Monday morning, 10 March, the wettest March day since 284mms on 14 March 1908 and the secondwettest March day in 184 years.

Coolangatta was blasted with 199.6mms, as well as very strong winds up to 125km per hour. It was the wettest March day at Coolangatta since 2022 and before that in 1974.

Nambour received a record 365mms to 9am on Monday morning; the previous wettest March day being 346.7mms on 28 March 1955. There was only one wetter day overall since 1953 at Nambour – 511mms on 22 February 1992.

Hervey Bay has also entered the record books, with 261.4mms to Saturday morning, 8 March, easily a record daily rainfall for March and double the previous record daily fall.

One could say that Tropical Cyclone Alfred may have set up a wetter-than-average conditions in our region for the rest of this year. Other cyclones in 1954, 1955, 1974 and 2011 certainly did.

Siarne’s silver success Coonabarabran athlete Siarne Davis has taken out silver in discus at the ACT Under 20 and Open Championships with a personal best throw.

by CLAUDIA HEANEY On the weekend of 25 -26 Januar y 2 025, lo c a l at h let e S i a r ne Davis competed at the AC T Under-2 0 a nd Open Championships in Canberra, bringing home a silver medal in the Under-20 division.

She also placed f ifth in the open category, further solidifying her position as a rising star in the sport.

Competing over two d ays , S i a r ne f ac ed of f aga i nst seasoned competitors, showcasing her determination and skill. Her mother, Karyn Sulter, proudly reflected on Siarne’s performance.

“I was really pleased with Siarne’s performance over both days of competition,” Karyn said.

“Throwing a personal best of 40.54 metres is an achievement in itself, but doing so under the pressures of competition is a testament to her hard work. “ Siarne and I were extremely excited that she managed to throw a competition personal best.”

The young athlete’s commitment to success

ex t ends beyond the competition field. For the past si x yea rs, Karyn has driven her children to Dubbo every two to three weeks to train with coach David Low, who has played a significant role as both a trainer and mentor.

Si a r ne h as ga i ned extensive experience in competitive athletics, t r avel l i n g t o event s a c r o s s t h e c o u n t r y.

Training in Dubbo also pr ov ides ac cess t o a discus circle with a cage, something unavailable in Coonabarabran.

“In January alone, we travelled to Maitland, Newcastle and Canberra. We have been fortunate to see quite a fair bit of Australia,” Karyn said.

Last year, Siarne and her fa m i ly t ravel led t o Adela ide for the Austra l ia n Ath letics Championships, adding to her wealth of competition experience.

Siarne has recently made the move to Newcastle for university, however, she remains committed to her sporting goals. “ S he i s exc it e d t o start a new journey as she has begun training

with national athlete a nd up -a nd- comi ng throws’ coach, Ashlyn Blackstock,” Karyn said.

Siarne has competed in a team with Ashlyn at the NSW State Relay for the past three years and continues to push herself to new heights, w i l l i ng t o ma ke her dreams a reality “She is determined to improve her technique and strength to throw the d is cus as fa r as possible, with hopes of representing Australia someday,” Karyn said.

Sia r ne has several major competitions lined up in the coming months. “ She has the NS W Junior Athletics Championsh ips 2 025 coming up in March,” Karyn said. “ She has a l ready qualified and thrown over the required distance for the 2025 Australian Open and Under-2 0 Ath letics Championships in Perth in April.

With the discipline, work ethic and ability Sia r ne encapsulates, there is no doubt she will continue to have great success in the sport she loves.

Bookies ‘snipped’ by a hairdresser Upsets in horse racing are nothing new, but few can match the astonishing result of race five at the Condobolin Picnics on 8 April 1992 when a seemingly hopeless longshot defied all logic to secure victory.

by COL HODGES It appeared “a dream come true” for the fielders when Newbridge, ridden

by Alison Henry (later Alison Smith), ,surged clear of the four rivals t o w i n t he C l a s s A H a nd ic ap over 110 0 metres by a length – but it was a nightmare result for bookmakers.

Of all the runners at the Condobolin meeting that day, Newbridge was

rated by the experts as the horse most likely to be run over by the ambu la nce fol low i ng the fields.

Professional punters, turf students and race goers in general pencilled out Newbridge as a winning prospect a f ter study i ng the following credentials.

Newbridge: an eight-year-old gelding banished from previous st ables a f t er bei ng

unplaced in 26 of 28 starts; resuming from a spell of nearly three years; the first runner for a lady hairdresser who was only recently g r a nt e d a t r a i n e r ’s licence.

No wonder then that Newbr idge was the 20/1 outsider, opposing four reasonably wellperformed, racehardened rivals.

W h i le the big bets were being written on

the favourites, a trickle of cash started coming in for the outsider.

O ne b o ok ma ker, who freely admits to beg r udg i ng a mouse a free sniff of cheese before the trap springs, actua l ly admitted t o “feeling sorry for the bloke putting his money on Newbridge.”

Premer’s Quick Shears event a cut above Premer’s annual Paul Lumby Memorial Quick Shears and charity auction has been hailed a huge success Held at the Premer Hotel on 25 January, the event saw 40 shearers competing across four categories, along with an exciting teams’ event.

With an enthusiastic crowd cheering on the shearers and $20,000 up for grabs – it was a hot contest!

Winners for each category included: • Open: Steve Mudford.

• Senior: Leith Bearman.

• Novice: Jessie Learmonth.

• Intermediate: Taysiah Guelfi.

• Teams Event (Aussies vs Kiwis): Kiwis take the win!

The charity auction was a tremendous success, raising an outstanding $60,000, which was donated to Muscular Dystrophy NSW and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.

Organisers extended their thanks to everyone who contributed to making the event a success, saying preparations were already underway for an even bigger 2026 event!

t i me, Newbr idge, on paper, looked no hope, but someone forgot to tell the horse, the trainer, Anna De Stradis, and the jockey, Alison Henry.

Enter ing the home s t r a i g ht t he le ade r, Magraw, kicked clear and looked set to give Stuart Brown his first winning ride.

T he hot favou r it e , Orange Ambush, r idden by c h a mpion picnic jockey Graham Purdy, was struggling to stay in touch, while Newbridge, still second, was expected to quickly weaken in the run home.

However, Newbridge kept coming and under p ol i s he d h a nd s a nd heels riding by Alison Henry, romped home for a resounding victory.

I n fact, Newbr idge c ou ld pr obably h ave completed another circuit and still won!

Winning connections were being congratulated by the Condobolin Club president, Vincent G ordon, a nd wh i le pu nt ers headed t o the bar to drown their sorrows, it was probably a good time to engage in some jovial banter with the bookmakers after

“their dream result”.

Expecting to see smiling faces, it was surprising to instead f i nd a pa l l of glo om hanging over the betting ring.

One bookmaker was standing on his bottom lip, while his neighbour chewed the corners off a pack of betting tickets.

Further down the line, a bookie stared at his clerk with that special look reserved for clerks when things go wrong.

Mutterings overheard f r om a g at her i n g of other bookies included “ s ho c k i n g r e s u lt ”, “everyone’s lost”, “caught off guard” and “done a heap”.

T he f i na l wash up revealed about $15,000 had been li fted from the ring and, allowing for inflation, that was a sizeable amount of money 33 years ago.

News of betting moves i n t he r i n g u s u a l ly s p r e ad q u i c k l y, b ut th is one was la rgely unnoticed and the price of Newbridge was still 20/1 when they jumped.

Not a huge plunge, but by unobtrusively placing a string of small wagers a lucrative and clever

coup had been executed.

Later investigations revealed the win was ‘no fluke’.

R ecently mov ing t o C ondobol i n, A n na De Strad is opened a hairdressing salon and also brought along a wealth of experience as a horsewoman.

During a successful career in showjumping, dressage and eventing, A nna often competed alongside the Roycroft family of Olympic medal winning fame.

Initially, Newbridge was exercised at the rodeo g rounds and when Anna De Stradis r e c eive d a t r a i ner ’s licence, was taken to the racecourse but not shown up in trials.

There were about 14 trainers at Condobolin a nd t hey t o ok l it t le notice of the old gelding trotting two circuits and then galloping another lap.

The name Anna De Stradis was unknown by most race goers, but likely to be remembered following a remarkable training feat. Especially by the bookma kers ‘snipped’ by the hairdresser!

21,000 signatures for crime petition A youth crime petition will need to be debated in the NSW Parliament after a groundswell of support which has seen the e-petition signed by more than 21,000 people.

The e-petition seeks the state government to strengthen bail laws to prevent violent young offenders from re-offending.

It also requests the provision of increased resources and support for police officers to effectively apprehend and prosecute offenders, and a review of the judicial system to prioritise community safety.

After securing in excess of the necessary 20,000 signatures, the petition must be scheduled for debate in parliament.

Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan said the people of regional NSW have spoken loud and clear.

“We have had enough of the amount of serious crime in our towns,” Mr Moylan said.

“The fact the e-petition took less than one month to reach its goal proves this is what the people of regional NSW want.

“Change is needed to ensure the courts are compelled to impose tough, effective sentences on those who persistently and

repeatedly offend.

“This important issue will now be raised in NSW Parliament and the ball will be in Premier Chris Minns’ court. I look forward to seeking the call to speak on this topic in NSW Parliament.”

As recently reported by the North West Magazine, the e-petition was instigated by Phebe Furneaux who has called on the government to do more.

“In the wake of tragic events resulting in the death of a young man, we, the undersigned, call for change within our legal system,” the petition reads.

“Too many young offenders are being let out on bail to reoffend, committing multiple crimes such as breaking and entering, holding people at knifepoint, carrying weapons with intent to injure or kill, stealing cars, and engaging in police pursuits.

“These actions put lives at risk and our communities have had enough. Our safety and peace is being disregarded. We want that back. We want the police officers in our towns to have the support they need to catch these criminals and ensure they are dealt with appropriately.

“Too many people are being

injured in their own homes and suffering traumatic experiences.

We demand better outcomes for our hard working citizens. One life is one too many. We must act now.”

Recent crimes, including the death of a male motorcyclist who had been allegedly struck by a stolen vehicle driven by a 13-year-old boy and containing two 13-yearold boys as passengers has drawn outrage from residents across the North West and other regions to urgently address youth crime.

Crime rallies have been recently held in regional centres including Moree, Armidale and Kempsey. A Tamworth rally, due to be held last weekend, was postponed due to the weather.

In response to rising youth crime in Moree, the state government has pledged funds for local programs as well as a bail centre.

The announcements were made in person by Premier Chris Minns.

During his most recent visit, Mr Minns announced $2 million in additional funding to help tackle offending and to support young people. At the time, Mr Minns said it is pleasing to see Moree locals putting their hand up to help address youth crime and improve

community safety.

“This will provide police and courts with more options to put a young person on bail with higher confidence that they will not reoffend,” Mr Minns said.

“These measures will help make the community safer and help young people stay on the right track.”

During a recent sitting of parliament, Mr Minns was told by Mr Moylan that under the common law in New South Wales, a 13-yearold can commit numerous breakand-enter offences, be charged by the police and then have the charges dismissed under doli incapax.

“When will the government legislate to protect regional communities from that outdated system?,” Mr Moylan asked the Premier.

“We have made changes and are prepared to make further changes.

Part of it will be the judicial response; that is the truth. I have had a long conversation with the Attorney General and the Police Minister,” Mr Minns said in his response.

“Part of it is also the recruitment and retention of police officers in regional New South Wales.

“We cannot have one without the other, and any objective

analysis would show that the government has been able to arrest the slide in recruitment for New South Wales police.

“We have a full police academy at Goulburn now, largely because we now pay for police officers to train there.

“We have removed the wages cap and as a result can keep experienced police officers for longer, particularly in regional New South Wales.

“That should not be blithely dismissed by members opposite.

We believe it will make a major change.

“I acknowledge that in some instances the police arrest the same person over and over again, and we cannot have that situation because it is dangerous for that young person to be repeatedly sent back out into the community after committing what in many cases are violent offences.

“I will not speculate on the government's next step, but anyone would accept that over the past two years we have taken steps.

When we see that there is a gap in the law, we can improve community safety, clamp down on crime and act in the best interests of young people.”

Coolah’s Sally Edwards is Barwon Local Woman of the Year COOLAH Sally Edwards from Coolah was last week announced as the Barwon Local Woman of the Year 2025.

The Local Women of the Year Awards recognise and celebrate progressive thinkers, everyday heroes, social advocates and innovative role models.

This year, 93 women have been nominated by their local MPs to be acknowledged during NSW Women’s Week, March 2 to 8, an annual week-long celebration of women in NSW through a program of activities that empower women and promote gender equality.

Sally has been nominated for her tireless community work and advocacy for rural NSW. Sally

drives change in her local area and ensures her community and those around her are represented and heard.

Member for Barwon Roy Butler praised Sally for her dedication.

“Sal Edwards is the kind of quiet achiever that makes our community a better place to live,” he said.

“Sal is selfless and diligent in getting involved in many aspects of the community of Coolah and neighbouring communities.

“People like Sally keep projects moving forward, and other community members engaged. I wish there were a thousand more of her.”

Each Local Woman of the Year award recipient received their certificates at the 2025 NSW Women of the Year Awards ceremony at the International

Convention Centre in Sydney last Thursday.

Recipients who volunteer and live in regional, rural and remote areas of NSW will also be added to the 2024 Hidden Treasures Honour Roll; a public tribute to recognise the vast number of women who volunteer their time and energy to help others.

Minister for Women Jodie Harrison said the Local Woman of the Year 2025 recognises, celebrates, and honours the contributions of women and girls across NSW. “Local MPs across the state have nominated stellar women in their communities whose contributions are an inspiration to everyone. Congratulations and thank you to all the Local Women of the Year – this is recognition you deserve,” she said.

State Member for Barwon Roy Butler, right, congratulates Sally Edwards, of Coolah, who was named Barwon’s Local Woman of the Year.

Irrigators’ council releases federal election platform The National Irrigators’ Council has launched its federal election platform, urging all parties and independents to commit to securing Australia’s water future and investing in actions to restore our rivers whilst supporting agricultural productivity and rural communities.

The council’s chief executive officer, Zara Lowien, of Bellata, said two decades of water reform means Australian water management system is world-leading but to secure the nation’s future, they must look to new ways of ensuring sustainability and secure water for agriculture.

“The industry has made the difficult step changes that established water as a property right, created water sharing arrangements within global standards that can adapt to our variable climate, these steps and more have helped drive water-use efficiency and sustainability,” Ms Lowien said.

“In the Murray-Darling Basin, this means one in three litres of irrigation water is now returned to the environment, but it wasn’t without impact. The Basin Plan is a $13 billion investment and irrigation-water dependent Basin communities will lose at its completion between $602 million $914 million per year in economic activity from reduced production.

“Looking ahead, with population

It’s time to safeguard Australia’s food and fibre future.

Our federal election requests and recommendations are designed to start this conversation with parties and candidates. growth, climate variability and extremes, and increased global uncertainty, we must look beyond past solutions to ensure sustainability because water for agriculture will be essential, if we are to optimise Australia’s world-leading water systems and technology to meet future demands for clean, green, affordable food and fibre”.

“It’s time to safeguard Australia’s food and fibre future. Our federal election requests and recommendations are designed to start this conversation with parties and candidates.”

The information compiled by the council also details the national importance of irrigation.

Irrigated agricultural production

is estimated at $18 billion.

“Irrigated agricultural is essential to Australians and many around the world producing food such as milk, fruit, vegetables, rice, grains, sugar, nuts, meat and other commodities such as cotton and wine,” the election platform reads.

The National Irrigators Council’s Federal Election Priorities Include: 1. Secure Water for Agriculture for Australian’s: NIC is seeking support for policies that secure water for agriculture and plan for Australia’s future water and food security. NIC welcomes the Australian government’s National Food Security Strategy as a step towards a ‘National Food Security Preparedness Strategy’.

2. ‘Beyond Water - Restoring our Rivers Action Plan’: NIC is seeking $500 million per year over four years to plan and implement a comprehensive action plan that goes beyond simply adding more water to address environmental issues.

3.'Regional Australia Productivity and Welfare Benchmarking Program’: NIC is calling for data collection to establish a benchmarking program to monitor and assess the impact of policies on regional and rural communities to ensure effective support for at-risk areas.

Robot sprayer proving its worth as tireless worker for Tenders are now open for grazing permits on Come-by-Chance growers long-term select travelling stock reserves Tender Invitation: Long Term Grazing Permit Travelling Stock Reserves

Impressed by a neighbour’s machine, growers Charlie and Elsie Buchanan decided that an autonomous SwarmBot would benefit weed control in their cropping operation Once paddocks have been properly mapped and tested, autonomous weed spraying units can be deployed ‘to do their thing’. That was one of the attractions that persuaded Charlie Buchanan to buy a SwarmBot from SwarmFarm Robotics in 2023. Another was cost.

He had intended to trade in a Goldacres dual-line boom fitted with WeedSeeker sensors for a new 36-metre Hayes dual-line system with WEED-IT cameras, but faced a 12-month wait for delivery.

In the interim, Charlie was so impressed by a neighbour’s SwarmBot that he changed tack completely, switching to an 18m Hayes boom spray with new generation WEED-IT and a Boris 76 SwarmBot, all for a similar price to what he would have paid for the 36m boom alone.

The new kit arrived at the 13,350-hectare family farm, ‘Bungle Gully’, near Come By Chance,

in September 2023. Charlie says it has already proven its worth and he expects it to pay for itself in three years.

Charlie, a third-generation grain producer, and his wife, Elsie, recently took over the farm from his parents, Bill and Fiona.

They crop about 60 per cent of Bungle Gully. The rest is mostly native pastures grazed by 500 black-face Dorper ewes and up to 2000 trade steers, which are bought at 240 to 280kg, finished on fodder crops and sold to feedlots at 420 to 440kg.

Winter crops include fodder barley varieties, such as Moby, and wheat, chickpeas, canola and faba beans for grain. Summer crops are forage sorghum, grain sorghum and dryland cotton.

Average annual rainfall is about 500 millimetres but highly variable, ranging from as little as 195mm during the 1902 Federation drought up to 1080mm in 2022.

This variability, and recent periods when crops were severely affected by drought followed by flooding, makes calculating average yields difficult. However, ignoring those seasons when crops were wiped out, Charlie says their

wheat crops have averaged about 4t/ha, canola 3t/ha, chickpeas 2.5t/ha and cotton 2.5 bales/ha in the past five years.

With frontage to Baradine Creek (known locally as Bungle Gully Creek) and the Namoi River, the Buchanans have a small irrigation licence and lease their water to other growers in the area.

The landscape is flat, making it perfect for an autonomous vehicle such as the SwarmBot. Charlie says the SwarmBot has made a big difference already, identifying thumbnail-sized weeds in thick stubble, using less chemical because of fewer misfires, and saving on labour costs by being able to operate 24/7 at a maximum speed of 10km/h without needing a human worker to drive it.

“You could work it day and night, if need be,” he says. “It’s got its own onboard weather station, so you set the spraying parameters, in accordance with the label requirements. It works any day of the week, weekends, Christmas Day; as long as it’s got fuel and chemical, it will go. It’s definitely the way forward.”

Coulton encourages people to be sun safe following third melanoma removal Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton has encouraged people to embrace sun safety following melanoma surgery recently.

Mr Coulton underwent a threehour surgery to remove his third melanoma and five lymph nodes.

In an update after the procedure, Mr Coulton said he would not require further treatment and that the surgery had been completed successfully.

“I cannot stress enough how important it is for everyone to follow the timeless adage of ‘Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide’ – it does not matter whether you are a young parent taking your child to the pool for a swimming lesson, a cocky who has been on the land for 30 years or an international tourist holidaying in Australia,” Mr Coulton said.

“Proper sun safety is the only way to prevent this from happening to you, and regular skin checks are the only way to catch skin cancer early.”

Australia has the highest rate of

melanoma in the world, with one Australian diagnosed every 30 minutes.

This year, it is expected that almost 17,000 Australians will be diagnosed with melanoma, according to the Melanoma Institute Australia. An estimated 1300 Australians will die from melanoma this year.

Often melanoma has no symptoms, however, the first sign is generally a change in an existing mole or the appearance of a new spot. These changes can include: • Colour - a mole may change in colour, have different colour shades or become blotchy.

• Size - a mole may appear to get bigger.

• Shape - a mole may have an irregular shape, may increase in height or not be symmetrical.

• Elevation - the mole may develop a raised area.

• Itching or bleeding.

Information from the institute shows that overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) light causes 95 per cent

of melanomas.

The best way to prevent melanoma is to protect your skin from the sun by following the 5 Sun Safe Rules: Seek shade, especially in the hottest part of the day.

Wear sun-protective clothing that covers your back, shoulders, arms and legs.

Wear a broad-brimmed hat. A brim protects your ears and neck more than a cap.

Wear wrap-around sunglasses.

Check the label to ensure they meet the Australian standard (Category 2, 3 or 4).

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 50+ every 2 hours and after swimming or exercise.

People are also encouraged to understand UV ratings.

Light from the sun contains UV radiation which can damage your skin. It’s important to remember that UV can’t be seen or felt, and cloud cover won’t necessarily reduce UV radiation levels. The UV

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton, who successfully underwent surgery recently to remove a third melanoma, has encouraged people to be sun safe and to have their skin checked.

index can be high even on cool and overcast days.

The UV index is a tool you can use to know when to protect yourself from UV radiation. When the UV index is 3 and above, sun

protection is always needed. If you have very fair skin and will be in the sun for long periods (more than an hour), you may need protection even if the UV index is below 3.

Lindsay Mason appointed as Warrumbungle Shire general manager Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor Kathryn Rindfleish has announced that council has secured a new general manager.

In an update last week, council said Lindsay Mason was appointed following an extraordinary meeting of the council held in Coonabarabran on March 5, 2025.

Cr Rindfleish said council is pleased to have Lindsay on board.

“While we have made some positive ground of late, the

appointment allows council to take the next steps for our region,” she said.

“Lindsay brings with him a wealth of knowledge, as well as an understanding of the shire’s challenges, community and opportunities.

“Lindsay began his local government career in 1989 with the old Coolah Shire Council, and grew up in the district.”

In speaking about the next steps

for council, Mr Mason said in the previous few months the team focus has been on driving better performance.

“It’s a great start and moving forward, financial prudency, asset management and a desire for improved performance will move us together, in the right direction,” Mr Mason said.

“Whilst Warrumbungle Shire has its challenges, distances and funding juggles as a start, the

community has a lot of potential.

I look forward to working with the council, councillors, staff and community to push for the best outcomes.”

Cr Rindfleish thanked all of the councillors who have been involved in the extensive selection process, and shared appreciation to Leeanne Ryan who had also stepped up to the role in the absence of a permanent general manager.

Because that’s what facts do. They get in the way of wild theories, sensational headlines, and stories that are just too good to be true. And that’s the point.

Real journalism isn’t about chasing clicks or stirring outrage.

It’s about accountability. It’s about getting the story right, not just being the first to talk about it.

It’s about knowing your community and knowing what matters most.

Because when the truth matters, shortcuts don’t cut it.

We believe facts make stories stronger, not weaker.

That’s why everything we publish is grounded in independence, integrity and an unwavering commitment to accuracy and the community we are part of.

Truth isn’t a single person’s point of view.

It’s a responsibility. And it’s one we take seriously.

Trust journalism to deliver you the truth.
