Butler breaks away from Shooters Party Growing unrest within the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party has led to Roy Butler resigning from the organisation on Monday, 12 December.

The NSW member for Barwon said it was not an easy decision.

The spill comes following comments made by party leader, Robert Borsak, in regards to a former colleague, Helen Dalton.

According to Mr Butler’s recounts, Mr Borsak risked bringing the party into disrepute when he made a physically threatening comment in parliament regarding Ms Dalton saying “he (LC presiding president) should have got up and clocked her.”

In a statement that was released on Monday, Mr Butler said the comment from the party leader was the latest incident “in a long list of grievances.”

Both Mr Butler and Member for Orange, Phil Donato, met with Mr Borsak and offered him the choice of stepping down and making a dignified exit from politics, otherwise they would seek to deal with the issue at the party’s annual general meeting.

“Both Phil and I are men of integrity. We could not let Robe r t’s rema r k s stand w ithout some acknowledgement that he was wrong, nor could we allow him to continue to damage the electoral chances of the party. We tried to fix the problems within the party, but unfortunately that has not been possible,” Mr Butler said.

“Mr Borsak has not only refused to step down, he has dug in his heels and made it impossible for us to speak out against him at the annual general meeting in Singleton last Saturday.

“We said that our positions had become untenable unless there was change, but there was no change.

“The executive, which includes Robert’s son and two of his friends, chose to throw their support behind the leader, leaving us no option but to resign from the party, which is sad; I like the party and it had always been my intention to run with them at the next election.”

Mr Butler said he will continue to serve the Barwon

region, but now as an Independent, and will contest the upcoming March election as an Independent.

He said he had “always operated a bit like an Independent in Parliament, so not much will change in that respect”, and said he will continue to work hard for his electorate and to advocate for the people of Barwon.

“I’m announcing my resignation from the Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party, but I will continue to represent the people of Barwon as an Independent in a very real sense, with my allegiance only to Barwon, to regional communities and to the people of NSW,” Mr Butler said.

Background Mr Butler was first elected under the Shooters’ flag in the 2019 state election.

He was elected during the worst drought in the European history of Australia.

From the moment he took office he lobbied hard for the drought relief that had, so far, been denied to many hard-working people in his electorate.

At the time he was elected he was one of three members of the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party (SFF) in the Legislative Assembly, along with Helen Dalton, Member for Murray, and Phil Donato, Member for Orange.

Together with Mark Banasiak and Robert Borsak, it made the SFF a formidable presence in Parliament.

In his time in NSW Parliament Mr Butler has worked hard to get a better deal for the people of Barwon.

In 2016, before his term, the electorate specific funding for Barwon was $132 million, in 2022 that had risen to over $907 million.

This result has been thanks to the good relationships with ministers Mr Butler has been able to establish and maintain during his time in Parliament.

Heywire winner shares family story Olivia Amiet was recently selected as a winner for the ABC Heywire competition, celebrating stories about life in regional and rural Australia.

by JIMMY WHALAN S i n c e it s i n c e p t i o n i n 19 9 8 , t he Hey w i r e competition has become a powerful platform for r u ra l youth , putti ng them at the c ent r e of conversations that shape their communities.

H u n d r e d s o f Australians aged 16-22 from regional, rural and remote areas entered the competition, Olivia being one of only 39 winners selected.

Competition winners s c or e a n a l l- ex p en s es paid trip to the Heywire Summ it , desig ned t o ensure their voices are heard in Canberra and around the nation.

Throughout the week, participants will u nder t a ke le ader s h ip workshops and meet with members of parliament, government departments and community leaders.

The ‘Heywirers’ work t o g e t he r i n t e a m s t o develop ideas aimed at

improv ing the lives of young people in regional Australia.

Olivia shared a very p e r s o n a l s t o r y a b o ut her parents’ separation through the lens of their family games’ night and how she is now “happier than ever”.

Oliv ia said that she felt nervous to share the story, but that she had never really heard anyone talk about divorce in any format of writing. “ I think divorce is a

lot more common these days, so I think for kids especially, i f they can read or listen to my story and know there is a happy ending, it can do a lot of good.”

Olivia said she was in disbelief when she found out she had won. She now plans to continue writing stories in the future. “ I wou ld d e f i n it e ly love to w r ite about other problems that our gener at ion i s f ac i ng,” Olivia said.

Games Night “Everything changed when Mum and Dad separated, but now I’m happier than ever.”

It’s family Games Night. The Monopoly board’s open on our stained and scratched coffee table.

I’m the dog. I’m always the dog.

Dad’s the car.

My money’s neatly sorted in separate piles. My sister’s is a chaotic stack. She’s the boot.

Maddie reckons she’s cursed.

The dreaded Bond Street. She auctions it to the highest bidder.

With Geminis as parents, it’s competitive.

Mum wins.

She’s always right and she always wants to keep playing. Now, she has Pall Mall.

Dad’s passed GO, however, bailing himself out is expensive.

I’ve been planning and watching my opponents, many on the verge of bankruptcy.

I’m the first to buy a hotel. I stare at my three family members, they know I’ve won.

When my parents invited Maddie and I onto the couch with tears in their eyes, we knew the happy family routine was over.

Mum moved out of the house and then the town. No more family Games Night.

I carried my duffle bag from my pink, familiar house, chauffeured reluctantly down the Newell Highway (the spine of the Warrumbungles mountain range), and entered an unfamiliar blue abode.

I had to be strong — I’m the older sister.

New town. New friends. New family.

New school.

Every class had its own name; I was in a class of Brumbies and

then Explorers. The teacher told us Brumbies are resilient and we were all Brumbies now.

I was exploring places I’d never been, discovering the other side of the Warrumbungles and the side of me that could make new friends, and be brave.

I started playing handball and Connect Four with people at recess.

Then, I settled down with a group of people who I could call friends through high school and its games of chance.

We arrive at the next phase of our lives together. The games began to change — there’s more study, less handball these days.

But, I’m happier than ever. Past worries begin to fade. It’s going to be OK. I walk behind my little half-sister, down the aisle. Luke Combs blares and fills the Royal Hotel’s shed.

I read out my original poem about Wedding Promises.

Dancing follows with laughter and delight.

Now there are two happy families.

There are new players around the dining room table.

Isabelle, even as a six-year-old, channels our mother’s Gemini traits.

What was previously a fun game, UNO became survival of the fittest. And we have a new Monopoly board. Maddie and I got it for Christmas a few years back.

The rules and characters are the same — I’m definitely still the dog.

Even though my family changed, and challenges surfaced I still love family Games Night.

Heywire winner, Olivia Amiet, impressed judges with her story ‘Games Night’.

Gardening event moves monthly Last weekend’s Community Garden morning was so successful that organisers are looking to hold a similar event every month.

by CHRIS WARD Gr e en thu mbs f r om around the Shire c onver ge d on Nei l s on Park in Coonabarabran on Sunday, 11 December.

The Community Garden members put on an event for any residents interested in gardening and exchanging information and advice.

Brett Engla nd , who has been spear heading the Community Garden i n it iat ive, orga n ised the morning along with Vivian Evans, from the 2357 Development Group.

T he day was such a s u c c e s s t hey pl a n o n m a k i n g it a m o nt h ly e v e n t , at l e a s t u n t i l the actual Community Garden is formed.

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 countr y and support the continuation of their cultural, spiritual and educational practices.

“ We w a n t e d t o d o s ome t h i n g f o r p e o ple to come and swap some se ed l i ngs a nd pl a nt s , provide some advice for people starting their own garden and talk about the Community Garden idea,” Brett said.

“It was a really great morning. We had a lot of people wander over and have a look and a chat.

“It turned out so well we’re probably looking at holding it on the second Sunday of each month going forward.

“It’s all about keeping the momentum rolling for the Community Garden.”

Through the raffle and plant sales more than $380 was raised to go in the Community Garden kitty.

Inflation hits Times The Coonabarabran Times has featured many stories over the past few months in regards to inflation, detailing how it has affected residents and even offering tips on how to save. Now, the publishing industry is under stress, with a world-wide shortage of newsprint causing paper supplies to skyrocket.

Driven by mill closures, exploding freight costs and delays, and soaring energy prices, paper prices alone have more than doubled, a f f e ct in g a l l re g i o na l newspapers, such as the Coonabarabran Times.

To date, the Times has been absorbing the price increases, but unfortunately it is no longer financially sustainable.

And so, with that, the team would like to thank our supporters, advertisers and, of course, our readers for always rallying behind your local paper.

But as we bring in the new year we will also bring in a price rise to the cover cost of the Coonabarabran Times.

Previously, you were able to get all the latest news, inside goss, social photos and sports reports from Coonabarabran and the wider Shire for just $2.00.

From 12 January 2023 the cover price will increase to $3.00.

The product will remain the same, high-quality local journalism you have come to expect.

The team at the Coonabarabran Times work extremely hard each and every week to bring you the latest information to keep you, our readers, up-to-date with all that is

happening locally.

“As you all know, inflation has everyone feeling the pinch and that of course includes us here at the Times,” said managing director, Lynne Estens.

“We have tried our hardest to absorb these increases, but unfortunately we are no longer able to do so.

“We believe in our product. We have added to our team, who all help add different voices and stories to our publications.”

Another exciting, and free, addition to the Times in 2023 has been the debut of the North Western Guide.

This North Western Guide is a comprehensive weekly TV guide, featuring puzzles and regional news.

Mrs Estens said it had been a big year for the Times team.

“We recently won two Country Press NSW awards; we are proud of our publication and hope you see the value in the product and continue to support the paper that supports the community.

“We wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy new year and look forward to working with the entire community again in 2023.”

With soaring newsprint and freight costs, the Coonabarabran Times has been forced to increase its cover cost in 2023, rising to $3 per copy.

Year 10 experience life in the workforce Year 10 students from Coonabarabran High School were eager to begin their two weeks of work experience. Commencing on 28 November and running through to 9 December, students had the opportunity to spend both weeks with one host employer or split the time between two employers.

by STEPHANIE GRAHAM Work experience is an important time for students to learn meaningful life

skills before going into their senior years, and to get a better understanding of what they want their f ut u r e c a r e er t o lo ok

li ke. Advantages of work experience include engaging with the c o m mu n i t y, l e a r n i n g what is required from an

employee in a work-place setting, to build general social skills and confidence, and to demonstrate self motivation and work ethic.

AirBus, Qld Emily has decided to spend her first week of work experience all the way up in Queensland, working for AirBus: the multinational aerospace corporation, that designs, manufactures and sells civic and military aerospace products.

Emily said she chose this location because it was something very different to anything that she could have done around Coonabarabran.

“My aunt works for AirBus, and when she offered me a week of

“I chose this location because I am interested in that particular field,” Keizer said.

When asked what he had been doing there, Keizer explained that: “I have been working on and building a quad bike, as well as just assisting around the shop,” He said that wor k experience has influenced what he would he would like to do as a career.

“Being here has increased my interest and made me more want to pursue a career in automobiles.”

Ke i z e r ’s m a i n g o a l that he wants to get out of work experience is: “To get a clearer and better understanding of what I want to do as a career.”

Josie is spending both week s of her wor k exper ience at the Coonaba rab ran Veterinary Clinic.

“I have always wanted to work with animals and being a vet is my dream job!” Josie said, after being asked why she chose that location.

She agrees that work e x p e r i e n c e h e l p s to unde r stand what she wants a future career to look like.

“This has helped me to unde r s tand w hat a ca ree r shou l d l ook l ike from the wo r k ing envi ronment, the daily tasks and all the different roles that a vet undertakes,” Josie said.

“Apar t from patting animals, I have been observing surgeries and appointments.”

When asked if wo r k ex pe r i ence ha s i n f l u e n ce d w h at s h e would like to do as a career, Josie said that doing work experience at t h e vet c l i n i c h a s s p a r ke d h e r i n te r e s t even more in becoming a vet/vet nurse.

“I want to become a vet even more and definitely want to do a career path that involves animals.”

Emily Staniforth work experience there, I realised that it was a valuable opportunity,” Emily said.

When asked what she had been doing at her work experience location, Emily listed many activities and jobs she had been undertaking in many different fields.

“I’ve been working in security, administration and safety,” Emily explained.

Work experience has definitely helped Emily to realise what a career would look like.

“It helped me to understand what a 9-5 job involves and to see the types of jobs I would undertake as a desk-job corporation.

“I now have a wider understanding of a deskjob and now I know what I would be getting into if I ever decided to get one,” she said.

Emily’s main goal to get out of work experience is: “To try and do a bit of everything, ensure that the ‘experience’ part of work experience was definitely a ticked box.”

Flying colours Strong bottom line for for inclusion Council finances The Warrumbungle Shire will fly Pride flags in February as part of an initiative to celebrate diversity and support LGBTQIA+ members of the community.

by EMMA HARVEY Yarn, Support, Connect - Coonabarabran Suicide Prevention Network is on a mission to bring more colour and inclusion to our community, by raising Pride flags around the Shire during World Pride in February 2023.

Last week, the volunteer-run network placed an online call out to organisations, business and community members to help fund the flags, and are on their way to reaching their $2.5k goal.

The mission, according to Yarn, Support, Connect chairperson Kodi Brady, is to introduce World Pride to the Shire’s annual flagpole calendar, which currently features events such as White Ribbon Day, Christmas, Easter, and Remembrance Day. The flags are a chance to celebrate diversity and express solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ members of our community, Mr Brady said.

“An accepting community is the biggest suicide prevention tool we have, and statistics show LGBTQIA youth are some of our most vulnerable.

“Our network would

love to add a splash of colour and acceptance, support, and visible inclusion.”

The flags are but a small part of the work Yarn, support, Connect hopes to do in raising awareness about LGBTQIA+ issues in our community.

Mr Brady hopes to mirror similar initiatives around NSW, such as ‘It’s OK on The Macleay’, that bring whole communities together to celebrate

diversity and reduce social isolation.

Yarn, Support, Connect is willing to connect, engage and collaborate with any individual, organisation or government agency willing to help combat suicides in our community.

If you would like further information or to support projects raising awareness on LGBTQIA+ issues, please reach out to Yarn, S up p o rt, C o n n e ct v i a Facebook.

Although ‘Red Fleet’ assets remain a contentious issue, Warrumbungle Shire Council is in a strong financial position.

by CHRIS WARD T here was plenty of good news to come out of the latest Warrumbungle Shire Council meeting on Thursday, 8 December.

It was revealed Council is in a strong financial position after its recent audit was discussed and signed off.

Shire mayor, councillor A m br o s e D o ol a n wa s happy to report Council’s finances were “solid”.

“A ll of our financial ratios that judge Council a s a bu si ne s s a r e a l l strong and our bottom line is strong,” he explained. “ I t ’s i mp o r t a nt f o r Council to have a strong bottom line.

“We don’t just want to make money for the sake of making money. “ We need t o have a strong bottom line to keep making improvements to our Shire. “ I f we ’r e i n a g o o d financial position we are able to look at projects l i ke R e s er voi r S t r e et (subd iv i sion) a nd t he industrial area.”

Howe ver, t he aud it d id n’t come w ithout controversy.

As published previously, Wa r r u m bu n g l e S h i r e Council, along with many

other regional councils, is in an ongoing battle with the State G overnment when it comes to the Red Fleet, which is the Rural Fire Service (RFS) assets – trucks and buildings asso ciated w ith the organisation.

The State Government believes the RFS assets b e l o n g o n C ou n c i l ’s b o ok s , but t he S h i r e is standing firm in its belief it shouldn’t wear the depreciation costs associated with the Red Fleet.

“Council do not own nor have any say in the deployment of any of the assets of the RFS,” Cr Doolan said.

“A n d , a s s u c h , w e strongly believe we are not responsible for it.”

Not includ ing the Red Fleet in Council’s financials has improved the bottom line by $624,000.

But it was a move the audit office did not agree with and, as such, has labelled it a “qualified audit”.

“So we believe we, as a Shire, are not responsible for the Red Fleet, but the audit office is saying we shouldn’t have left it out,” Cr Doolan explained.

“As a result, they have dubb e d it a qu a l i f ie d

aud it , wh ich mea ns it can put a restriction on the borrowing capacity of Council and put us at risk if we were to request any special rate variations.

“One council is asking for a 90 per cent special rate variation, but we’re not looking at doing any of those things.”

In a further bonus for the Shire, it was revealed it w ill be $250,0 0 0 better off each year for th ree yea rs due to its commitment to the NSW

Government’s renewable energy movement.

Council wrote to the premier explaining t he c o s t s i nv olve d i n supp or t i n g t he p ol ic y t o r e a c h 8 0 p e r c e nt renewables. “ They accepted there was quite a bit of cost involved from our end, so they offered up $250,000 a year over three years to accommodate us, which is a great result,” Cr Doolan said.

Initiative continues to give back to community Donations for a Christmas charity drive will be used to help local families in need this festive season.

by CHRIS WARD For the second year running, Coonabarabran High School teacher Madeline Wilson has organised a Christmas charity drive.

Last year she was able to help out 75 people and is looking to build on that number this time around.

Whatever is donated will be shared out to people in need prior to Christmas.

Ms Wilson said she originally came up with the idea because she wanted to give back to the community and she called for everyone to get involved.

“Before I moved here, I came from the Hunter Valley and I had access to a lot of things and my family was very fortunate,” she explained.

“This is something I wanted to do to help those people that might not have been as well off as my family.

“When people learn to give without expecting anything in return they will truly see the value of being a good person, just because you can.

“Christmas is about being appreciative and giving to others where possible.

“We just really need as many people to get on board as possible as the word ‘community’ means nothing unless people come together.”

Ms Wilson said non-perishable food items, toys and children’s books would be accepted as donations.

Anyone interested in helping out can message Ms Wilson on Facebook to get the drop-off location.

A s the storm clouds gathered, we arrived for our last week of school for 2023. It promised to be a week of festivities and fun for all.

A dedicated and delightful group of students, who had practiced in their lunch times for the last few weeks, donned their handmade costumes and Santa hats at the Christmas Spectacular on the town oval and recited their poem and sang a new but similar version of the song they

had rehearsed. They were brimming with excitement a nd represented thei r school with pride.

Baradine hosts CWA’s Land cookery competition Some of the region’s best cooks rolled into Baradine hoping to ‘take the cake’ in a popular cooking competition that has stood the test of time.

by LIZ CUTTS More than 40 members of the Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW attended the Castlereagh Country Group meeting and The Land Cookery Competition hosted by Baradine CWA on Monday, 28 November.

Representatives from branches from Rylstone to Coonabarabran were surprised and delighted to welcome CWA State president, Joy Beames, to the meeting.

Proceedings commenced w it h a welc ome f r om C a s t l e r e a g h C o u nt r y Group president, Wendy Baldock. “ Some branches and groups are still not able to hold meetings due to the flood crisis,” Mrs Baldock said. “ How luc k y we a r e in this region to be able t o travel w ithout a ny problems and catch up on these group days.

“I am looking forward to seeing all The Land cookery entries and thanks go to all the members who have so diligently made and transpor ted thei r items here for judging.

“Let us work together towards a prosperous and enjoyable 2023.”

Nationa l Pa rks a nd Wildlife Services officer, Nicola Brookhouse gave an informative illustrated presentation on the Banksia, the Australasian Bittern and Black Willow flora, fauna and foe study subjects for 2022.

T he s t udy s u bje c t s chosen for 2 0 2 3 wer e announced. These are: Wa r r iga l Gr e en s , a staple vegetable used by early Australian settlers, who had learned about it from the Aboriginal people.

Small leaves can be eaten raw, but large leaves need to be blanched to remove oxalic acid.

The fauna study is the native bee and the foe is feral cats.

Congratulations went t o B a r ad i ne s t udent , Evie Matthews on being awarded a Joplin S chola rsh ip, a nd Ly n Prichard, from Rylstone branch, was voted in as the new group treasurer.

Trophy winners A new, one - of f international competition for 2023 for primary school

students with the theme of ‘My Australian Home’ was discussed.

Grattai branch took out the best publicity trophy and Mendooran branch won the trophy for the best cultural report.

Baradine branch members were delighted when the best ex h ibit i n T he L a nd c o oker y competition went t o Brenda Croxon for her ginger fluff sponge.

The winning branch with the most entries was Mudgee Evening and the member with most number of entr ies was Debbie Johnston, from Rylstone.

Started in 1949, The Land cookery competition assesses women on their ability to bake classics such as fr uit cake, chocolate cake, sponges and biscuits - and it seems to be just as popular today as it was 73 years ago.

Cookery judge Amanda Colwell, from Coonamble, congratulated the winners and commented on the entries.

“It was wonderful to have so many entries to judge and I compliment and congratulate everyone who entered the

competition,” Mrs Colwell said.

“The standard was very high; perfect baking is all about practice and fol low i ng the recipe exactly.

“It was a pleasure to judge all the entries.”

Local students join flood relief choir Baradine and Coonabarabran secondary students will join Moorambilla Voices choir members in Sydney to sing in a fundraiser for flood-affected communities.

by LIZ CUTTS I z a k R ow, Mon ique Bragg and Willem Ernst, from Coonabarabran, and Paula Evans and Josh Haywood, from Baradine, have been selected to sing with the MaxedOUT choir at the iconic Carols on Norton in Marrickville The event is a col laboration between the Leichhardt Espresso Chorus, the Inner West Council and the Country Women’s Association of NSW. Entry will be by gold coi n donation or by donating online to the C WA D i s a s t e r R e l ie f Fund.

The Leichhardt Espresso Chorus has a nea rly 2 0 -yea r legacy of singing and making music with the children of regional NSW through the Moorambilla Voices program.

Mo ora mbi l l a Voic es musical director, Michelle Leonard said the local students will join 40 choir members i n si ng i ng a total of 15 works, three of which are new Australian compositions. “ T hese students are part of the older cohort of this year’s MaxedOUT c ompa ny, who I h ave earmarked as having great leadership potential and candidates who will thrive

singing with adults and a sensational orchestra,” Michelle said.

“Those beautiful singers showed me during the c ou rse of Aug ust a nd September this year that t hey wou ld va lue t he opportunity and that they had real tenacity and a capacity to learn a lot of music very quickly!

“We are only too aware of the devastation that the floods are having in western NSW, so we are proud to offer our city audiences and community

the chance to help out by coming along to the concert and offering their donation and support.

“All the money raised will go directly to families in need.”

T he two Ba rad i ne you ngst ers , who have participated in the annual Moorambilla workshops since they were in Year 3, say they are delighted about being selected.

year,” said 13-year-old Paula Evans.

“I was chosen before for the Moorambilla Voices CD recording and this w i l l be a nother g reat experience.”

“I am both nervous and excited,” Josh Haywood said. “ T h i s i s s omet h i n g that w i l l broaden ou r horizons, as performance opportunities in our small community are limited.

“I think it will all be very enjoyable.”

Baradine students, Paula Evans and Josh Haywood are delighted to have been selected to sing in Sydney with Moorambilla Voices in the fundraiser for flood-affected communities.

VIEW CLUB NEWS I was unable to attend the VIEW Club Christmas meeting, but heard glowing reports of a fantastic night and fantastic food beautifully catered for by Jacinta and staff at Cardians Coffee Lounge and shared with great friends.

Everyone bought a gift and chose a gift, reportedly with lots of thought put into each one - even Lions Club Christmas cakes made their way into the celebrations.

We were asked to take along a notable recipe… good or bad, one never to be made again or one to pass on to all keen cooks. We had Grandma’s, Granny’s and Auntie’s recipes. We also discussed the ‘Famous Ambrosia’ or ‘Five-Cup Salad’– or is it a dessert?

One recipe that was a gem and brought much laughter was ‘New Turkey Dressing’ – as follows: 4 cups bread crumbs ½ cups celery ½ cups uncooked popcorn 1 teaspoon salt 5 cups broth ½ cups sage ¼ cups onions Mix well, stuff the

turkey. Cook five hours at 300 degrees or until popcorn blows the butt off the turkey.

I don’t think we will be game to try this one!

It was ‘special’ that former president Sue Jackson was able to come and catch up with ‘old friends’.

A very brief meeting was held and the news that all but five Lions Club Cakes have been sold was very welcome. Thanks to Sherree and her helpers, especially Rhonda Jewiss at Prezzies for allowing us space in her shop.

Bev Rayner tabled the Driver Reviver roster for the coming school holidays, so put your name down – a couple of hours goes quickly and you are more than likely to meet some interesting people. We benefit financially from the number of shifts that we do. You can always exchange if something ‘pops up’.

Throughout the year we have been able to do some lovely fund raising to be able to maintain our four Learning for Life Students. Our students are scattered around

Australia. We are happy to be making a difference in families lives. Education is the key to eradicate poverty.

We have also been able to donate to the three schools in town for their awards’ nights.

Something we must think about during the holiday break is our annual general meeting.

Please consider that you can help with a position for 2023 - take a turn!

The outgoing committee, led by president Carolyn Fretwell, has done a great job. Thank you. All ladies are more than welcome t o co m e a l o ng t o o ur meetings.

Again this year, the Coonabarabran Times has done a splendid job of publishing our news, especially the ‘Garden Trail’ page. Thank you to Max and Lyn and their staff.

We hope everyone enjoys Christmas and the welcome break for the holiday.

Take care – see you in 2023.

Have your say on local place name Early Visits to the Warrumbungle National Park December 1959 A very successful day was held when, at the suggestion of the Coonabarabran Shire Council, members of the three councils met at the park and a picnic lunch was served, with Mr Renshaw as guest of honour. Afterward, the whole party moved toward the tops to the best of their respective abilities. Quite a number of councillors however made the tops, and some wives also made it. There must have been at least 40 persons on the top near Lugh’s Throne when I was there, and the attendance of the public generally on the day would I am sure have suitably impressed Mr Renshaw. Although no councillor expressed directly to know nothing but admiration for the Park, I gather from remarks relayed through others, that they would not be seen on the tops again. Time will tell. Mr Brain, during the course of the day, inspected the Canyon area together with the Coonamble Shire health inspector.

The visit occurred in December 1959, six years after the creation of the Park and four years into the Trust period. It is the first official photo of a group of people who displayed interest and support in the Park’s creation and management.

At that time I was employed by the Gilgandra Shire as assistant engineer and had been requested to attend the inspection as an observer and engineering adviser, not that any of the latter was needed with so many councillors in attendance.

The Trust had requested advice on the access road, a weir for water supply on Wambelong Creek and trail drainage.

I found that there were far more expert advisers than myself available on that inspection. Jack Renshaw, Minister of Lands and local State Member was present, but

missed being in the photo.

At that stage, I had only visited the Park twice in the previous six months when I met Keith Blackman, who introduced me to the beauty of the scenery from many of his favourite vantage points. He also took me up the Pincham Trail, which was only a walking pad with square aluminium markers on the trees placed by him and Allan Strom to show the way to the Grand High Tops.

The second visit occurred when I climbed the rough track to the top of Belougery Split Rock and unsuccessfully attempted to climb its northern face.

Needless to say, I had little time on my mind for Warrumbungle National Park business as I was marrying Janet two weeks later. Also, I had little thought for future times when the activities of the Park would be uppermost in my mind. It’s a little different now.

I certainly would not consider that any of the persons shown in the photograph were representing the interests of any conservation organisation because at that stage few, if any, existed in rural Australia.

However, there must have been an essence of conservation in their minds, even though they had not yet learnt to recognise it.

The principles of protection conservation were not established in north-western NSW at that time, probably not arriving into local considerations until the early 1980’s. Most of them were representatives of local government from the three surrounding shires, and it appeared that their main interests were to boost the area’s income from potential tourist visitation.

When I joined the Trust in 1972, those persons from the above photograph who were still representing on the Trust

were Roy Quinton, the chairman, Alec Gould, the secretary, and Brendan O’Brien. The others had been replaced on their respective councils after their first term, or departed the area.

There had never been a shortage of volunteers for representation on the Trust and lately, the advisory committees.

A road across the mountains has been the dream of Coonabarabran people for many years long before the Park was seriously thought of, but the cost of road construction was always of such magnitude, that the Councils concerned just could not find the money for its construction.

In 1938 [1947] a party of venturous men from the western side made the first known motor vehicular crossing in a jeep driven by the late Len Stockings. The principal passenger was the late Frank Finnan, then Minister for Tourist Development, but from my observation at the time I do not think he was very enthusiastic about the project. Mr Renshaw, Member for Castlereagh, was another passenger, and others were Mr and Mrs Keith Blackman.

Anyway, nothing was heard of the project again until the Park Trust was formed in 1955, when a determined effort was made by the Trust as one of their first ventures

to secure direct access across the mountains to Coonabarabran. A track was bulldozed up the western side, at Trust expense, to facilitate surveys, and for 10 years this served as a spring breaking route which was occasionally used to shorten the distance from the Park to Coonabarabran from 62 miles to 21 miles. On 13 January, 1960, the road was proclaimed Developmental Road No. 1269. Under this classification all funds for construction were provided by the Department of Main Roads, and all maintenance was to be found by the Shires of Coonabarabran and Coonamble.

The developmental road section extends from the eight-mile peg near Timor Rock on the Coonabarabran end to the western extremity of the Park, a distance of 17 miles. The Park Trust fully recognised the contribution Mr J. B. Renshaw had made towards this project and immediately applied to have the whole section between Coonabarabran and Gummin, west of the development road, named the ‘John Renshaw Parkway’.

Rains create perfect fishing conditions Now is the best time to get out and wet a line.

by CHRIS WARD The excessive rain the region has received over the past six to 12 months has made for perfect fishing conditions in local river systems.

Grant Wood, from the Coonabarabran Fishing Club, said the recent rains and consistent flow of water has made the Castlereagh River the healthiest it has been for years, resulting in some great catches.

He said yellow belly, catfish, and even the odd Murray Cod are being landed.

“It’s rare to get Murray Cod in our system,” Grant said.

“Years ago it was

unheard of, but now there are a couple being caught each week – which is a great sign.”

Grant said there was range of sizes in the fish caught, but it was the smaller catches that has the avid fisherman excited.

“With the smaller fish being caught it’s a good sign that the fish are breeding and it’s not just the fish we are releasing in the system,” he explained.

He said fish were being caught in between the two weirs in Coonabarabran and anywhere along the river between Ulamambri and Binnaway on both lures and bait such as worms and yabbies.

But with the solid catches happening

Brodie Moore reeled in a Murray Cod.

Wade Jenner is thrilled with his yellow belly catch.

throughout the river system, and more residents enjoying the improved fishing conditions, comes a warning from the Fishing Club president.

“Do the right thing and clean up after yourself,” Grant said.

“There’s been a bit of rubbish left behind at different spots. It’s important you take your rubbish away with you.

“Enjoy the river and the fishing, but clean up after yourself.”

The club has registered for Clean Up Australia Day on 5 March 2023 and members will be heading out to clean up popular fishing areas in and around the Castlereagh River, and have invited the general public to join in.

Also coming up on the Fishing Club’s radar is the release of more fingerlings.

Approximately $12,000 worth will be released into the river system in the new year.

Since 2007 the club has been responsible for the release of more than 1,000,000 fingerlings into the river.

AROUND THE TRAPS CHICKEN RUN The Coonabarabran Golf Club's Sunday morning chicken run, played on 11 December, was played over the back nine.

H a m w i n ne r s we r e Mark Knight and Cody Higgins, with 27 points.

Vouchers were won by Dick Clark and Mick Noy, 24 points on a count back, and Butter Jones and Kel Kilsby, 24 c/b.

Balls were won by Dale French and Jay McDonald, 24.

It was another good field this week and everyone had lots of fun at the Christmas pa r ty for ch icken r un players - good cooks too!

N e x t S u n d ay, 1 8 December, there will be another ham run, with play over the front nine.

Women get into golf – and love it!

Coonabarabran Golf Club’s beginner golf clinic for women is a big hit.

by EMMA HARVEY Coonabarabran Golf Club has been recruiting more women to the sport with a free introductory clinic funded by Golf NSW. The program is part of a national initiative ‘Get into Golf for Women’ that aims to address gender disparity in the sport and encourage women to get together at their local golf facility and have a hit.

Each Thursday and Sunday for the past five weeks, Golf NSW Western representative, Gary Begg has been coaching 12 local women on the fundamentals of the sport, such as chipping and putting.

Helping to organise the sessions is local golfer, Jan Keppie, who said the response from the women had been incredibly positive.

“They are all very keen.

A few have even started going out to the course in their own time.”

Two golfers from the group, Tracey Wood and Jodie Howard, are even looking to get handicaps

in order to register for the women’s competitive program.

As well as learning the tricks of the sport, the group very much look forward to their Sunday get-togethers, grabbing a drink at the club after each weekend session.

The final ‘Get into Golf for Women’ session was scheduled for last Thursday, 8 December; however, it has been postponed until the new year due to COVID-19.

In the happy event that Coonabarabran Golf Club secures further funding

from Golf NSW, Jan hopes that clinic will come to town again.

In the meantime, any women looking to get involved can head down to the Coonabarabran Golf Club or check out the ladies program online for competitions to come.

Coonabarabran Golf Club has hosted a series of golf clinics, introducing women to the sport.

Bank exodus continues Gunnedah ANZ branch slated for closure after Westpac announces axing of Moree site NORTH WEST

By DYLAN SMITH

editor@nwcourier.com.au

Australia’s large banking institutions are continuing their exodus from regional areas, this time with ANZ announcing its branch closure in Gunnedah.

The company announced its Conadilly Street site would close

by May next year.

It follows a similar, recent announcement by Westpac to close its Moree branch by February next year.

Previous bank branch closures have been a concern in other parts of the North West, with Wee Waa left without a bank in Rose Street

when ANZ and NAB closed its local branches.

The closure of local bank branches has been widely condemned by local mayors and parliamentarians who have criticised big banking corporations for abandoning rural customers.

Gunnedah shire mayor Jamie Chaffey described the ANZ branch closure as a clear example

of a business “putting profits before people”.

“There are community members here who have been loyal customers to the bank since the branch opened. They continue to do their banking there, alongside local businesses who can’t do all of their banking online. How much profit has our shire contributed to the bank over those years?

“This decision – which I have been told by the district manager cannot be reversed – is absolutely disgusting.

“Our shire and our economy is growing. In this era of even greater opportunities, our financial institutions should be increasing, not withdrawing their support for our community.”

Mark Coulton marks 15 years as federal Member for Parkes Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton has celebrated 15 years since he was first elected to the House of Representatives as a Member of Parliament.

On November 24, 2007, Mr Coulton became the Member for Parkes after winning 46.77 per cent of the vote during the 2007 federal election.

He took over the seat of Parkes from incumbent MP John Cobb who instead chose to contest the Division of Calare following boundary changes which saw the merging of the now abolished Division of Gwydir with the Division of Parkes.

Incumbent Gwydir MP John Anderson retired at the 2007 election, paving the way for Mr Coulton to take on the redistributed Parkes electorate.

“When I was first elected back in 2007, I certainly didn’t expect I’d still be here 15 years later,” Mr Coulton said.

“I didn’t have a long-term plan for how long I’d do this job, I was just thrilled to receive the support to be elected for my first term.”

Fifteen years on and he hasn’t looked back, having been re-elected for a sixth time at the May 2022 election.

“It’s an incredible honour to do this job, and a privilege to represent the wonderful people of the Parkes electorate,” Mr Coulton said.

“I’m extremely proud of everything we’ve been able to achieve over the past 15 years and

it’s heartening to see the progress and development of communities throughout the electorate thanks to funding and programs I’ve helped to secure.

“I think what has kept me going for the past 15 years has been the drive and desire to see things through.

“I worked out early on that it does take some time to learn how to do this job and to get to know the people that you represent. Once I was in a position where I’d built up those relationships, I didn’t want to just throw those away because I know it’s unsettling for communities to constantly change their local member.

“I felt it was important that I did this job for a reasonable length of time to be able to make positive change and get things done.”

There’s lots to be proud of over the years, but Mr Coulton said being re-elected six times has underpinned it all.

“My overall proudest achievement is actually winning the trust of the people of the Parkes electorate and being supported six times for re-election so that I’ve had an ability to actually work with all my constituents and communities,” Mr Coulton said.

“When it comes to projects I’m most proud of, it would have to be the Western Cancer Centre which is providing life-saving cancer treatment to people throughout western NSW, and Inland Rail which will transform our national freight and supply chain

Mr Coulton, pictured with Narrabri Shire councillor Cathy Redding, at the official opening of the Narrabri Inland Rail office in Maitland Street.

capabilities while providing endless opportunities for communities in the electorate.

“I’m also proud to have been involved in the establishment of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program which is underpinning so much of the great work local councils have been undertaking in recent years.

The work that I’ve done to increase the rural health workforce through

Normie Rowe AM, Northwest National Service (Nasho) Association Sub-branch president Barry Fitzgerald and Mr Coulton at the unveiling of a Vietnam War memorial and tribute to Nashos in Moree earlier this year.

programs I implemented as Minister is another source of great pride for me.”

Being the Member for Parkes is not easy, but Mr Coulton said it’s the people he’s met along the way that make it all worth it.

“It is an all-consuming job; it takes a lot of energy to cover an electorate the size of mine, but I draw passion and enthusiasm from the people I’m working with,”

Mr Coulton said.

“It’s the relationships and friendships that I’ve built up over the 15 years with not only individual people but also organisations that I work with on a regular basis that’s the best part of this job.

“I’m just as passionate about being the Member for Parkes today as I was 15 years ago and I look forward to continuing to represent my constituents into the future.”

Milestone for ARTC, Clontarf foundation partnership Continued from front page

The session involved Clontarf students from Moree and nearby academies including Narrabri, Inverell and Goondiwindi.

Mr Inglis put the students through their paces with a fun training session, and afterwards took the opportunity to speak about his own mental health journey. Following the training session, students attended a day full

of ‘Starting the Yarn’ events at the Sports, Health, Arts and Education Academy in Moree.

Activities included workshops showcasing Gamilaroi Culture including weaving, art, song and dance, bush medicine and spiritual healing. Through these activities, organisers were able to put a focus on mental health and connect youth in the area to local services.

Attendees also attended the graduation ceremony of nine local community members who completed their Certificate II in Civil Construction course at TAFE NSW, in partnership with Homes North and facilitated by the Inland Rail Skills Academy.

ARTC Inland Rail will provide $500,000 in funding, over two years, through the Inland Rail Skills Academy to support

fourteen Clontarf Academies along the rail corridor in Queensland and New South Wales.

This funding is helping to boost school retention, develop leadership skills and create pathways to employment through training opportunities for Indigenous regional youth.

Interim chief executive Rebecca Pickering said ARTC Inland Rail supports the Clontarf

Foundation’s goal of improving the education, life skills, self-esteem and employment prospects of Indigenous youth Mr Inglis said the Goanna Academy was started to help end the stigma surrounding mental health, and talk about managing mental health, especially for atrisk groups such as youths, regional Australians and First Nations communities.

Branch closures Moree Plains Shire secures funding through pothole repair program a blow for North West communities MOREE

Continued from front page

Moree Plains Shire mayor Mark Johnson and general manager Nick Tobin recently met with Westpac state and district managers as well as the head of government relations to urge the bank to reconsider closing its Moree branch.

Cr Johnson said the shire needs the support of big banks to ensure the needs of the future are met.

“After the COVID-19 pandemic and droughts, we have exciting opportunities to ensure the growth of the Moree Plains, five years of construction in the pipeline, and $1.5 billion dollars’ worth of infrastructure projects and investment across the shire,” he said.

ANZ district manager Glenn Schofield said 90 per cent of Gunnedah customers prefer the alternative banking methods such as online and mobile banking.

“Our relationship bankers will continue to visit Gunnedah and the surrounding region businesses and individuals at locations that best suit them,” he said.

“Our customers can also use the ATM network at no charge and ATMs operated by the other major banks, fee-free.”

Westpac used similar rationale for the closure of the Moree branch, citing a shift to online banking resulting in a decline in customers using bank branch services.

Bank branch numbers dwindle, profits rise: APRA reports show The number of bank branches in regional areas has dropped considerably in the space of five years, a report by the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority shows.

As of June 2022, there were 1682 bank branches operating across inner regional, outer regional, remote and very remote areas.

This was compared to 2359 branches at June 2017.

In major cities, the number of branches has declined by almost 1000 in that same period.

The data also shows the number of ATMs has also declined considerably across regional areas, from 3762 in June 2017 to 2083 in June 2022.

In NSW, the number of branches has dropped from 1861 to 1335, and the number of ATMs from 4433 to 2083.

APRA’s deposit-taking institution performance statistics for the September quarter showed that net profit for financial institutions increased by eight per cent ($2.9 billion) to $39.3 billion for the year ended September 2022.

The report noted this was driven largely by improvements in net interest income.

The balance sheet of financial institutions also continues to grow, with industry total assets increasing by 3.2 per cent ($193.4 billion) during the quarter, to $6.2 trillion as at September 30, 2022.

Moree Plains Shire Council has secured $927,640 through the NSW government’s Fixing Local Roads Pothole Repair Round.

This fast-tracked funding will allow council to start repairing critical infrastructure and restore flood-impacted roads.

Mayor Mark Johnson welcomed the support from the state government.

“This emergency funding will help us reconnect our communities and with harvest underway, we need to ensure roads are up to the task of carrying the additional trucks and heavy machinery to get this crop off and to receival sites as soon as possible,” Cr Johnson said.

“Accelerating this cash payment allows council to identify the critical priority areas to remediate so we can make our road network accessible to all once again.

“Of the $50 million allocated by the NSW government for the PRR program and with 95 eligible councils, securing this large pot of money is a great effort by the council team.

“However, this does also recognise the significant damage our shire roads suffered as a consequence of the flood event.

Mention and thanks must also go to our local member Mr Adam Marshall who, as always, was supportive of council during this process.”

The pothole repair program is an initiative funded by the NSW

FLOOD DAMAGE: Roads throughout Moree Plains Shire were damaged as a result of the recent major flooding.

government which is specifically designed to assist regional and rural councils by supplementing existing funding to address priority repairs and ongoing maintenance of potholes in local and

regional roads.

This round will not only assist council in addressing priority repairs but also deliver safer and improved journeys for communities and industry.

Aboriginal artists sought for train station revamp MOREE Aboriginal artists have been sought to create unique artwork for the Moree train station.

Expressions of interest closed last week for the Transport for NSW initiative to revitalise the train station.

The final concept of the artwork will be developed in consultation

with the Moree Aboriginal community.

The artwork will be placed in a prominent location, on the northern wall of the Moree train station building, for travellers to see.

Transport for NSW hopes to have the Aboriginal artwork project completed by March 2023.

The artwork will adorn this wall of the Moree train station.

Stained Glass Window cake

Page 9

While it is costly to make, this cake goes a long way, as it is cut into thin slices which give the cake its name, for they have a stained-glass effect.

• 250g. brazil nuts • 250g. macadamia nuts • 12 pitted dates • 2 glacé pineapple circles, cut into chunks • 6 glacé apricots, sliced • 1 cup glacé cherries, red and green mixed • 1/3 cup glacé ginger (optional) • 3/4 cup plain flour • ½ teaspoon baking powder • ½ teaspoon salt • 3 eggs • 3/4 cup castor sugar • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Grease a 21 x 11cm. loaf tin and line the base and sides with greaseproof paper. Alternatively grease two smaller loaf tins.

Put the whole nuts in a bowl with the whole dates, pineapple, apricots, cherries and ginger. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt over the fruit and nuts.

Beat the eggs until frothy, add sugar and beat until thick. Add the vanilla and pour over the fruit and nut mixture. Mix well.

Spoon into prepared tin, try to arrange mixture to get good mix of ingredients.

Bake at 150oC about 1 3/4 hours for the loaf tin, 1 1/4 hours for smaller tins.

Remove from tin, peel away paper and allow to cool. When cold, wrap in foil and store in the refrigerator. Serve in thin slices.
