Community skips a beat: defibrillator stolen A defibrillator installed by the Rotary Club of Coonabarabran has been stolen from outside of Warrumbungle Shire Council’s Coonabarabran chambers. The Club is now looking for a positive solution.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Having access to a def ibr illator in public spaces can determine the difference between life and death.

When a sudden cardiac ar rest strikes, an automated external defibr illator (AED) ca n b e u s e d b e fo r e paramedics arrive.

St John’s Ambulance, NSW have stated that the chance of survival can increase to 70 per cent with access to an AED. They also found over 3 0 0,0 0 0 Australians suf fe r f rom ca rd iac ar rest each year and less than five per cent of those survive without an AED. Living r urally can mean ambulances are not readi ly avai lable and supportive technology can be necessary for survival.

In September of 2023, the Rotar y Club of Coonabarabran recognised the need

to place public AED’s around town.

Thei r aim was to m a ke t h e m a c h i n e s e a s i l y a cce s s i b l e by the public in case of emergencies.

Rotarian, Mal U n i co m b sa i d at th e end of Januar y it was obser ved that the machine near the Council chambers was missing.

While the exact date of the theft is unknown, the machine was placed close to a CCTV camera.

The matter has been reported to Police, with hopes to uncover the offender.

“The unit will be replaced as the Rotary Club of Coonabarabran acknowledge how important these devices are in preserving life,” Mr Unicomb said.

“Police investigations will hopefully turn up an offender and recover the item.

“Depending on the condition it will either

be put back into service or replaced.”

Rotary president, Russ James said the matter was a community issue and opened up a larger opportunity - to connect to the youth, rather than placing blame.

“It is easy to get disappointed that these things happen.

The bigger challenge is how to connect b et te r w i t h yo u t h i n the community, so they don’t feel a need to do these things,” Mr James said.

“We want to look at the solution rather than the problem. “ We ca n l o o k at providing the kids with more activities and s h ow s u p p o r t w h e re we can – it can take a communit y to raise a kid.”

Although the defibrillator theft may appear as a senseless act, funding from Rotary is there to support the community.

Civic pride?

How c a n we bu i ld civic pride? One can but wonder, regarding the mentality of the person or persons that removed the defibrillator from the Shire chambers.

A life-saving device, there for an emergency when required by some unfortunate person – “senseless”, similarly brainless vandals have also trashed the Little T imor Street Plaza area.

Three boxes to house the chess pieces have been smashed. The ends have been kicked out from inside, the locks broken, hinges broken

Young women competition celebrates ambition Coonabarabran’s Young Woman of the Year, Madisen McGill, gave voice to her community at the Zone Finals of the competition.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Young women from across the Centra l West recently travelled t o L i t h g o w, w h e r e the stage was set for competit ors t o sh i ne their brightest.

I n pr epa rat ion for t he f i n a l s , M ad i s en focused her efforts on supp or ti ng the lo ca l community.

Throughout the finals she was required to showcase her public speaking and etiquette skills.

She highlighted her contribution to society through fund-raisers and discussed ideas on how to address national and local issues.

Her speech required research into multiple t opics, ra ng i ng f rom o ve r s e a s a f f a i r s , t o local information and genera l k nowledge about parliament and agricultural sectors.

She was judged by

three women who had experienced high levels of success in thei r chosen careers.

T he judges asked f u r ther questions on the topics she covered, which required Madisen to conduct hersel f confidently.

Prior to the finals, M ad i s en at t ende d a weekend at an etiquette school in Dubbo.

The judging of etiquette is aimed to h igh l ight a woma n’s con f idence a nd thei r consideration towards others in society.

“This competition has had a positive a ffect on my l i fe – I never wou ld h ave t hou g ht o f s t a n d i n g up a n d spea k i ng i n f r ont of 300 people in a million years,” Madisen said. “ I have always b e e n de v o t e d t o my career path and this has suppor t ed my motivation. “ I want to be a primary school teacher and prov ide more resou r ces for lower socio-economic schools.

M ad isen sa id the judges thought she was too young, however, her spirit did not waver.

“I will be coming back in a few years when I have more experience and I congratulate the girls moving forward.”

T h e 2 0 2 4 Coonabarabran Young Woman of the Year will be announced at this year’s Coonabarabran Show, to be held 8 -9 March.

Coonabarabran’s Young Woman of the Year, Madisen McGill, recently competed in the Zone 4 finals.

Big grins for first day of big school Little Johnny comes home from his first day of school and his mother asks, “What did you learn today?” “Not enough,” he replies, “They said I have to go back tomorrow.”

by GEORGIA SPENCE The first day of school is a big milestone for both a child and their family.

It can be another feeling altogether when it is the last first day, out of a bunch of four.

Emily Rouse is a mother who grew up in Coonabarabran and understands what it means to be a kid in a country town.

As both a mother and teacher, she has experienced both sides of the coin when it came to the first day back at school.

It has been a few years since Mrs Rouse was in a classroom, but she remembered the excitement of the new school year and the delight of becoming acquainted with a class.

Her eldest child is currently in high school, while her youngest, Juniper, is starting Kingergarten this year.

“I feel a little sentimental – that time spent at home with young kids is coming to an end,

but I am also really excited to have them all at school,” Mrs Rouse said.

“It is one of those days that feel like will never come...and then it does.

“It will be a big change for everyone. I have been so lucky as I was able to stay at home for them while they were little.”

Mrs Rouse said Juniper was excited to go to school and commended the Early Bird program at Coonabarabran Public school.

The Early Bird Program provides a chance for preschoolers to go to school one day a week.

The program runs through the last term of each year and can aid children in getting used to their environment and school routine.

Mrs Rouse felt the program provided a smoother transition for Juniper and created a sense of familiarity.

In a twist of fate, Juniper’s teacher is Miss Olivia Tilborghs, who Mrs Rouse taught in Year 5. While Olivia’s

grandmother, the late Joy Pickette, also taught Rhonda Wark - Juniper’s grandmother and Mrs Rouse’s mother.

“So, my daughter is being taught by someone who I taught, who is the g r a n d d a u g h te r o f my mother’s teacher!” Mrs Rouse laughed.

Back to school tips After sending four kids off to school, Mrs Rouse had some tips in getting ready for the first day of school.

“During the holidays they go to bed later so I try to get them back into a routine of going to bed early,” she said.

“It is a big change from being at home every day, to five days a week at school. I try to make sure we don’t have a lot other stuff on. The aim is to just get back into routine.

“Well-rested and wellfed kids is always a good start.”

As a teacher, Mrs Rouse recommended to have the kids’ school gear ready – from uniforms, to shoes, to stationary.

She said buying something small like a new pencil case can get them excited for the school year.

Mrs Rouse also liked to take photos of her kids on the first day back.

“Often, our first day back photos are funny, as all the kids have different moods,” she said.

“One will be excited, one will be teary. It is definitely not four kids smiling all-together at the camera.”

As for Mrs Rouse, she now hopes her new found time will lead her into reclaiming her passion for photography and finishing off numerous D.I.Y. projects.

The first day back at school can be exciting and filled with passion - both positive and negative.

For some, it is the end of an era and for others it is the start of a big journey into learning.

For Mrs Rouse and many other families, developing a routine and getting organised aids along the way.

A line in the sand for Santos A Bill proposed by Jeremy Buckingham, aims to apply pressure on Government to end the expansion of gas development in the Liverpool Plains.

by GEORGIA SPENCE C u r r ent ly, M r Buckingham is a member of the Legalise C a n n a bi s A u s t r a l i a Party and has been a vocal in opposing coal seam gas in parliament.

Mr Buckingham r e c ent ly v i s it e d t he reg ion to explain proposed Bill.

C o on a ba r a br a n’s SPACE galler y hosted the politician on T ue s d ay, 13 February, along with 20 individuals who are against coal seam gas projects.

The Petroleum (Onshore) Amendment ( Liverpool Plains Prohibition) Bill 2023, proposed an exclusion zone for petroleum development acr oss four Local Government Areas.

The Bill aimed to draw a line in the sand for gas companies like Santos, where expansion is a key factor in their business

plan.

C ou nc i ls i mpac t ed include the Liverpool Plains, Gunnedah, Na r rabr i a nd Warrumbungle.

The Bill proposed the supply of gas was not an issue in the state and the expansion of projects, such as the Narrabri Project in the Pilliga Forest, were not necessary.

Mr Buckingham said the Government recently made a three-year deal with offshore companies S N E X a nd A P L G t o supply gas to the east coast of Australia.

Any gas found in the P i l l i g a wou ld l i kely be exported overseas, t h r ou g h t he Hu nt er Queensland Gas Pipeline.

T her e i s hop e t he Bill can stop a lateral pipeline connecting the Narrabri Project to the Hunter pipeline.

If the lateral pipeline can be stopped, both projects could be r ender ed prac t ic a l ly

worthless to investors.

The Bill is also aimed at placing pressure on Government and keeps the conversation alive in Parliament.

Mr Buckingham said the Government needed to meet the Paris Agreement of net zero emissions by 2050. “ It do e s not m a ke sense economically or p ol it ic a l ly t o i nve s t further into gas. The only argument is that the gas is necessary.

Now that argument is gone,” Mr Buckingham said.

“There were hundreds of Pel l s a nd t en s of thousands of gas wells when we started and now we are down to the the last man standing.

Persistence wins. “ I f Santos want to build their project, that is up to them but these areas are ruled out and we l imit the impact.

T h at i s a n e nt i r e ly possible proposition.”

T he Bill can be supported by the

c o m mu n it y t h r o u g h lobby ing the NSW Minister for the Env i ron ment , Pen ny Sharpe.

Mr Buckingham r e c o m m e n d e d highlighting how any expansions would not align with 2050 targets and a warming climate.

He also said gas does not deliver revenue to the state, or jobs in the area.

I f t he B i l l wa s t o pass, projects w ith exploration r ights wh ich have actioned a pr oj e c t c a n no t b e cancelled. Only renewal for projects would be cancelled.

I f c ompa n ie s w it h exploration rights that have not actioned any projects, they would be cancelled on the spot.

T he Bill will be presented to the Legislative Council mid2024.

No decision has been made for Native T itle against the Narrabri Gas Project.

Juniper Rouse was all smiles for her first day of Kindergarten last week.

A dose of the new doctor

Helping to address a shortage of locally-based GPs, a new doctor has joined the Coonabarabran community this week, taking up a position at Warrumbungle Medical Centre.

by GEORGIA SPENCE

Dr Shaheen Ahmed has commenced at Warrumbungle Medical Centre, under the supervision of Dr Aniello Iannuzzi.

Leaving his life in Sydney, Dr Shaheen Ahmed has swapped the hustle and bustle of city life for the peace and quiet of the country.

Originally from Sri Lanka, Dr Ahmed came to Australia to study medicine and completed his degree at the University of Western Sydney in 2020.

He boasts experience working in intensive care units and emergency departments, with his last posting at Sutherland Hospital.

Although Dr Ahmed has been in Coonabarabran for less than a week, he noted the friendliness of the people and said he had been able to sleep better without the explosion of Sydney noise.

As well as being keen to explore the Warrumbungles and stargaze with his partner, Dr Ahmed said he was looking forward to the opportunity and varied nature of practicing rural medicine. “ F ro m w h at I h a ve se e n, r u ra l practitioners turn out to be better doctors,” Dr Ahmed said.

“You tend to manage a lot of things as a rural doctor, as opposed to the immense amount of support you have in Sydney.

“Yo u n e e d to b e co m e a n a l l rounder.

“That is the kind of doctor I wanted to be.”

While Dr Ahmed’s arrival is to be celebrated locally, the need for more doctors across the Shire is still prevalent.

Wa r r umbungle Medical Centre practice manager, Dr Aniello Iannuzzi said the situation was not improving.

“We are still behind the situation we were a few years ago,” Dr Iannuzzi said.

“It is not improving as there is a GP crisis in Australia and Medicare is not funding general practice adequately, meaning premature retirements and poor recruitment.

“Furthermore, the poor state of the rural hospitals does not attract young rural generalists to these towns.”

Dr Iannuzzi said long waiting times, difficulty accessing specialist services, in particular paediatrics and mental health would continue.

He also said there would be an escalation in need for patients to travel to access care and patient out-ofpocket expenses will keep rising.

“We are not in a marginal seat and we rely on a public system that rations resources and is very top heavy with administration,” he said.

“Therefore the budget is inadequate and directed too much towards red tape rather than patient care.”

Dr Ahmed recognised the capability of local doctors, despite the shortage outcries.

He hopes to work in town for at least 12 months.

The history of a historian The history of Coonabarabran lies in the mind of John Whitehead. For his latest book, Mr Whitehead collected his published articles from the Coonabarabran Times for all to enjoy.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Beginning in 2021, the h ist or y bu f f was approached by the Coonabarabran Times for information on the Box Ridge Inn and its location.

From there, Mr Whitehead was encouraged to continue writing articles for the newspaper.

In the hope to provide additional information t o C o o n a b a r a b r a n ’s history, his most recent book is a collection of his published articles.

H av i n g pr ev iou sly written 15 books, Mr Whitehead is not short on knowledge.

The biggest resource of information was derived from Joy Pickette and M e r v y n C a m p b e l l ’s comprehensive p u b l i c a t i o n , ‘Coonabarabran. As It Was in the Beginning’.

Being a part of the town since 19 6 6 , his information was also supported by personal recollections and discoveries.

Mr Whitehead said he enjoyed writing articles for the Coonabarabran Times.

“I have had 44 articles i n t her e. T hey wer e nearly all my favourite pieces to write, however, if I had to choose one, it would be the naming of the Warrumbungle Range,” said Mr Whitehead.

“My inspiration comes from a place of plain curiosity, about what happens in our world

historically. “ It is impor tant to understand local history – there wasn’t anything before this book [Coonabarabran. As It Was in the Beginning] and someone has to write about it.”

M r W h it ehead has previously written books that examine the history o f Wa r r u m bu n g le Shi re, Sid ing Spr ing Obser vat or y a nd the Pilliga Forest.

He also tracked the movements of explorers and delved into the geology of the Warrumbungles.

Although he came to history later in life, Mr Whitehead found history books and their mapping fascinating.

T he resu lt of h is fascinations and personal learnings provides the Shire with detailed discoveries of local history.

In the beginning Mr Whitehead grew up in Orange, married, and studied engineering for seven years.

T he eng ineering cou rse was ma naged t h r o u g h s e l f - s t u d y, allowing him to become disciplined and dedicated to his works.

He feels his diligence continues to motivate him to this day.

Mr W hitehead first moved t o the a rea, employed as an assistant shire engineer, based in Gilgandra.

W hile living in Coonaba rabran, he w o r k e d h i s w ay u p t o be c ome the Sh i re engineer.

5 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 15 February 2024

“ B eing the Shi re engineer for 50 years, I was responsible for the development of C o on aba rabra n ,” M r Whitehead said.

“I’ve seen it change ver y much. Ver y few streets were sealed or had a kerb and gutter.

Ver y few streets had drainage.

“Every time it rained, we had a pile of sand in the main street that came dow n f rom the showground. I cleared all that up. I helped design all the water supply for rest of the Shire too.”

Putting down roots Once he found Coonabarabran, he felt at home.

He sa id a lthough C o o n a b a r a b r a n h ad changed, the population had only slightly developed.

I n 1 9 6 6 Coonabarabran had a population of 3000 and currently sits at around 3200. “ T his could be due to the isolation of the town, with its proximity to larger towns such as Gunnedah, Dubbo and Tamworth.

“Families also don’t have as many children as they used too.”

M r W h it ehe ad ’s historical knowledge has led him through many years of exploration and successful publishings.

His latest book ca n be pu rchased at the C oonaba rabran N e w s a g e n c y, w h i l e his other books can be bought d i rectly f rom him.

IN FOCUS: RENTING

Renting? Here’s what you need to know To own a home might be the great Australian dream, but for many Australians, renting is the only option.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Australia’s real estate market has seen large numbers moving from b i g c i t i e s to s m a l l e r, regional towns in 2023.

Reasons to move regionally var ied, yet m os t peo p l e we re i n search of an affordable lifestyle change and the option to work remotely.

Tamworth had been recognised as one of the top ten most affordable l i fes t y l e l ocat i o n s o n hotspotting.com, due to high rental yields and low vacancy rates.

The re is potential for an increase in rental investors to p u rc h a s e p r o p e r t i e s in Coonabarabran, due to the proximity to Tamworth, Dubbo and Gunnedah.

However, it is unlikely that locals will be priced out of the local market as la rge r tow ns we re favourable to investors.

A recent study conducted by MCG Quantit y Su r veyo r s in 2 0 2 4 fo u n d r e g i o n a l

NSW indicated severe sho r tages in rental listings.

T h e s u r veyo r s s a i d the number of private listings had increased.

Rising rents In Coonaba rab ran, t h e a ve ra g e co s t o f rent is around $300 per week.

T h i s va r i e d d u e to location, renovations and rental agreement contracts.

J a n e M cW h i r te r, real estate agent and b ranch manager of Davidson Cameron and Co, said rental prices in Coonabarabran were steady, but increasing.

M r s McWh i r te r sa id Coonabarabran was a mixed market with some rate s h o l d i n g s te a d y and othe r s r i s i ng to above average costs.

“Our rental prices are probably not as dear as Gunnedah, Narrabri, Tamworth or Dubbo, but they are rising,” she said.

“There is nothing worse than the market going so far up, no one can afford to rent.

“You do have to be

careful with that in a small country town.”

How the housing and rental mar ket fa i r s i s i m p o r ta nt fo r both landholders and tenants.

To remain informed about rental properties in the area, providing an application to a local agent is necessary.

How to apply Davidson Cameron and Co sales and property support assistant, Sharon Russell s a i d t h e re wa s a l ot of speculation about rentals locally. “ T h e r e a r e assumptions that there a re n’t a ny re nta l s in Coonabarabran, however, not all owners adve r ti se on l i ne,” M s Russell said. “ I f we have applications on file and know of something that is coming up, we can let them know – and it makes the process a lot quicker.” “ To b e fa i r o n t h e landlords and tenants, we need to know they can afford the property

and can look after it.”

To expedite the rental a p p l i cat i o n p ro ce s s , strong personal refe rences o r renta l history is required.

An employer is recommended as a personal reference to vouch for character, as family and friends can not be used.

Knowing what costs go into a rental contract and maintaining balance with the costs of l iving is essential for a successful rental experience and application.

Building trust If a person is struggling to keep up with costs, i t i s i m p o r ta nt to b e upfront and reach out to an agent.

The landlord and agents should be informed to any c h a n g e s i n l i fe s t y l e, and tenants should be upfront with any repairs needed and damages incurred.

M r s McWh r ite r a n d Ms Russell said a good rapport was necessary to b u i l d t r u s t w i t h a

client.

“If you do the right thing, it can set you up

for life with references,” Mrs McWhirter said. “ It bui lds a l ot of

confidence to be able to stand on your own two feet.”

YOUR SAY: What are your thoughts on the current rental situation facing local residents?

Ken Begg: People struggle to find rentals everywhere and when they do find one, it is too dear.

Mark Pitts (with Malia Dougan): I know there is a shortage.

There is a shortage out in Tooraweenah too. I think it is because there is more demand for work so more workers are in the area. In the drought there was less demand and more availabilities.

7 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 15 February 2024

Julie Morrissey: I don’t rent, but I think it is hard to find a rental property locally. I think there just aren’t as many houses to rent in a small town.

Maria Deep: From what I have heard and seen on social media, people moving to town struggle to find a rental.

There is definitely an acute shortage.

Eva and Damien Walden: I’ve heard that it is hard to find a rental. I think more people are buying property as investments.

WORD for WORD

In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quickfire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?”

And so the chain continues...

Do you have a nickname? Just Dom. H ow d i d yo u co m e t o l i ve i n Coonabarabran? I was born here.

What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? I am a plumber and we did a really nasty sewer blockage at the Bowlo. That was an interesting morning.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? I take my dog for a walk. I do that every afternoon. He’s a Border Collie cross Coolie.

How would your friends and family d e s c r i b e yo u i n t h re e wo rd s?

Resourceful, friendly and caring.

I m es sa g ed so m e m ates fo r a response for this, but they were wildly inappropriate, so I messaged my mum.

What are your favourite places to visit on a road trip? I like the beach and I like camping. Lake Keepit is always a good time. I used to go there with Dad when I was a kid.

Would you rather be able to create a new language or create a new holiday? Probably a holiday, I do like holidays.

Would you rather have a choice to succeed at any job in the world, or never have to work again? I would say I would succeed at any job.

I would imagine not working for the rest of my life would be pretty boring.

Have you read any good books lately? I just started reading Dune by Frank Herbert. It is a sci-fi book that has been turned into a movie and the second part is coming out. It is meant to be pretty good.

What are the top three items on your bucket list? I want to go back to Japan. I went there for a holiday four or five years ago and I would like to see more of it. I want to go with a few mates this time around.

Hopefully it will be in the near future.

“I look forward to the opp or t u n it y a nd the privilege of continuing to serve the community and working with the new board.”

Do you have a hidden talent? Or what is something people might not know about you? I can ride a unicycle. In primary school, for Years 5 and 6, they had a circus group come every fortnight where we were able to try different circus activities. I got really addicted to learning the unicycle and Dad bought me one for my birthday. In my house we had cathedral ceilings with massive poles and he bolted some rails to them so I had space to practice.

If you could pick a decade to visit in a time machine, what would it be?

Probably 100 years in the future to see how technology is panning out.

If you could have anyone around for dinner who would it be? Henry Cavil - he just seems like a really cool guy and he is a bit of a nerd too. He collects war hammer models, which I’m also interested in.

And what would you cook them?

Probably some hot wings.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? I laugh all the time. My boss always comes up with stupid, random jokes.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? My boss always says to me - don’t get married and don’t have kids.

Baradine LALC new board members – Natasha Pellier, Rene Ruttley, Ronald Ruttley, Robert Pennell and Patricia Madden Absent – Renee Warden.

Who should we chat to next? Nick Willoughby.

DOMINIC STAFFORD 8 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 15 February 2024

It was pleasing to have 20 members attending the VIEW Club annual genera l meeti ng a nd our f irst meeting for 2024. Janette Barkley acted as chairperson for the elections and all but one position – that of treasurer – was filled.

Heather Edgell has accepted the role of assistant secretary and we hope that a treasurer will be found soon!

B ev R ay ner a nd Lynne Abbott, on behalf of D r iver R ev iver, presented cheques for the sh i f t s V I E W members manned during the school holidays; 120 volunteers in December a nd Ja nu a r y s er ve d 1700 visitors – that is a lot of tea and coffees!

Sherree shared news from the prev ious delegates’ meeting and reported that all Lions Club Christmas cakes were sold.

We a re f i na ncia l ly able to make our commitments t o fou r students this coming

Tayla Hoysted graduates After undertaking a four-year double degree, Tayla Hoysted officially graduated from Flinders University, Adelaide, on 15 December, obtaining a Bachelor of Sport, Health and Physical Activity and Bachelor of Business Management.

Tayla commenced her degree straight out of high school at 17 years of age, juggling study with coaching sports.

A talented soccer player, Tayla has also been selected to play in England, Paris and has travelled

twice to Fiji to compete.

Tayla is the eldest daughter of Chris and Anita Hoysted (nee Mancer, formerly of Coonabarabran) and granddaughter of Ann and the late Bob Mancer of Coonabarabran.

Ann travelled to Adelaide to attend Tayla’s graduation, while also using the visit to catch up with former Coonabarabran residents Ray and Betty Russell (nee Slade).

WEATHER WATCH It has become notably drier and a little warmer than usual since about 19 January at most places in our region.

Isolated heavy rainfalls did occur late in January and again on Monday, 5 February.

C ondob ol i n r e c or ded 8 0mms, T iboobu r ra recorded 88mms, and W h it e cl i f fs 10 3mms , wh ich were a l l the heaviest for February since the 1990s.

A n outback station north of Tibooburra, just across the border into Queensland, recorded 14 6 m m s t o M o n d ay morning, the heaviest for February since 1954.

Parliament returns for 2024 Last week marked the return of Parliament for 2024. W hile the first sitting week of the year was only three days, there was still plenty to do both in the House of Representatives and out.

I enjoyed catching up with Keiley and Maddy from Nar romine and Mike from Broken Hill as they attended the 2024 Heywire Regional Youth Summit on Tuesday, and it was great to meet with representatives from the Rural Locum Assistance Program, the Community Broadcasting Association

southwards into Victoria, with thunderstorms and heavy rainfalls at Alpine resorts such as 96mms at Mt Buffalo, 106mms at Falls Creek, 80mms at Mt Hotham and 93mms at Eurobin itself, which was the heaviest daily rainfall for February since 104mms in 1939.

Pe r t h h a s h ad it s driest October-toJanuary period in 148 years of records, with only 13.8mms against an average of 208mms.

The previous driest such per iods were 22 .4mms in 1994 -95, 26.6mms in 1877-78 and 23.7mms in 1891-92.

These dry conditions all continued to well into Apr i l in Per th.

It was also a privilege to attend a joint sitting of the House of Representatives and the Senate on Thursday, as we welcomed the Hon James Marape, Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea, to Parliament House.

On Thursday evening I took the opportunity to speak in the House of R epresentatives about my concerns for changes to the design of the weir at Wilcannia and the seeming lack of communication from the

conditions did extend to our regions during the autumn , w ith unseasonable h igh temperatures during the early part of April and not much rainfall until late April.

T he ver y hot a nd d r y c o nd it io n s h ave continued in Perth for the first 10 days of February with four days of over 40 degrees, equal to the greatest number of days of over 40 degrees, which also occurred in 1933, 1985 and 2016. To date, t he me a n m a x i mu m temperature this month is 36.2mms, the highest since 1985.

Victoria did enjoy the warmest April in 1985 since 1938.

Cocos Keeling Island has recorded its equal warmest December-toJa nua r y per iod w ith 1957- 1958.

Late March to early May 1958 was notably warmer and drier than usual in our region, until heavy rain arrived in mid May .

NSW Government to the Federal Government.

T his yea r we have plent y of cha l lenges ahead, but I look forward t o work i ng w ith my Coalition colleagues as we continue the fight against the reckless decision making of the Federal Labor Government.

As always, it is an honou r t o r epr e s ent the Parkes electorate and I look forward to continuing to advocate on behalf of my constituents.

N2N Inland Rail project approved I was pleased t o see the Narromine to Narrabri (N2N) section

of the I n la nd R a i l receive environmental approval from the Federal Government recently.

While this approval is a positive st ep t o getting the project back on track, I continue to question the Federal L ab or G over n ment ’s commitment and understanding of the Inland Rail.

This is a great project, but there has been a lot of uncertainty and unnecessary delay due to the actions of the current Federal Government. The NSW Government gave the N2N project its own approval 12 months ago; there has been no need to drag this out for as long as the Federal Government has.

I aga in u rge the Federal Government to signal its commitment t o t h i s m a g n i f i c e nt piece of infrastructure and provide certainty t o residents i n the Narromine to Narrabri section.

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton spoke to media regarding the Federal Government approval of the Narrabri to Narromine section of the Inland Rail.

Kindergarten to Year 3 students 2024 at Tooraweenah Public School – ‘The School With the View’.

Coonabarabran Public It was with the greatest excitement and enthusiasm that our very lovely and popular kindergarten teacher and SLSO greeted their new students – 24 bright, young faces shone their way into their classroom on the first day.

Ms Olivia Tilborghs, assisted by Mrs Rachel Mills, are thrilled to be paving the way to learning the new curriculum for these lucky students.

Miss T has a beautiful calm and quiet manner w ith the students, who follow her every instruction with precision a nd u nde r s t a nd i n g.

Miss T’s grandmother, Mrs Joy Pickette, was a much-loved and highlyrespected member of CPS staff for many years. And it seems that Olivia will continue that legacy of organisation and care.

CPS also welcomes Ms Tara King to staff.

Ms K ing brings from Cessnock, experience and expertise which she is looking forward to sharing with 3/4K. She has many challenging and fun projects planned.

Ms Clarissa Burns, whom we were lucky to have got to know last year in her capacity as a casual teacher, was delighted to accept the position of Year 3 teacher. Ms Burns comes to us from Binnaway and maternity leave. Her students have already settled in well to their classroom routines and her engaging, happy smi le i nsta ntly puts everyone at ease.

The final shining star on our educational team is Ms Mel Jenner. Although Mel has been part of the Coonabarabran High School PE department more recently, we were

very pleased to be able to welcome her to Year 6.

Her wealth of knowledge and expertise will provide wonderful direction for those students going to high school next year.

OLD PUBS OF COONA: PART 3 I n 1873 , Edwa rd Swords was a lso the licensee of an inn called the Farrier’s Arms. It is one of those mystery hotels which has left l ittle ev idence of its existence. It could have been on a block of land owned by Swords, on the south-western corner of John and Timor Streets.

By 1875, William Wright held the licence for it. The fate of the Fa r r ier ’s A rms a f ter this remains a mystery.

While passing through the C oonaba rabra n district, Robert Neilson had been able to see the opening for another store in the township.

At first, he used a very temporary structure of hessian and bark.

When the old Castlereagh Inn became vacant, Neilson bought it in partnership with Thomas Cadell. They were related, as Robert Neilson’s mother had been a Cadell before her

marriage to a Sydney doctor.

The Cadells were a well-known family in the Richmond and Windsor districts. Robert Neilson had lived there, too, for many years before going to Gulgong.

Neilson pulled down the Castlereagh Inn and built a fine new store on the same spot. He ran it under the name of R ober t Nei lson & Co, a name which has survived in the town until recent times.

Jonathan Harding, a miller, took out a licence for a hotel called the Mill Inn, sometime in 1874. Then it became known as the M i ll House Inn. In 1880 it was closed. It’s site is not known, but it must not have been too far away from the mill.

I n 1877, Nel s on P r o c t o r h ad op e ne d the Tradesman’s Arms, next door to Neilson’s Store. He had married

Sam Sowden’s daughter, Elizabeth, at Mereyula in 1873. The building it s el f wa s ow ne d by Neilsons.

By 188 0, the name had been changed to the Club House Hotel.

James Francis Kerr was the publican.

Coonabarabran emerged from the 1970s with four of its many hotels still in working order.

• William Field had the Old R oyal Hotel, (Imperial Hotel); • John Hill had the Royal Oak Hotel (next door to the Old Royal Hotel); • G e or g e M c Hu g h had the Telegraph Hotel (New Royal Hotel); and • James Kerr had the Club House Hotel.

T wo of them, the Old R oya l Hotel and Teleg raph Hotel, are the predecessors of the present day hotels, the Imperial and the Royal.

John Whitehead

The hotel changed hands frequently and had many names until 1879, when it became the Club House Hotel run by William Grimshaw. In 1898 it had become a two-storey building run by H. Pope. It stood between Neilsons’ store and McManus barber shop (Billy Woo’s old store). It burnt to the ground in 1923 when J. Brett held the licence.

Bedgerabong Races Saturday, 10 February Less than a length separated the first five place getters last Saturday in a thrilling finish to the 1400 metres Bedgerabong Picnic Cup. A crowd of over 2000 watched Mystic Flame setting the early pace, with the eventual winner, Tupou, taking the lead when heads turned for home.

From the Dubbo stables of leading trainer Clint Lundholm, Tupou ($7), ridden a great race

by Narromine-based Ricky Blewitt, held on to win in a photo finish from Linden Tree (Leandro Ribeiro, $5.50),which finished strongly on the outside, with Red Impulse (Maddison Wright, $3.20) a close third.

Ricky Blewitt had earlier won the 800 metres Class B Handicap on Warrior’s Spirit, trained at Narromine by his partner, Kylie Kennedy.

Leading throughout, Warrior’s Spirit ($3) won by almost two lengths from Hammoon Sunshine (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.20 favourite) and A Tender Lady (Dylan Parrott, $3).

Riding at her first meeting, Eloise Drews was very excited to win the feature sprint, the 800 metres Clearview

Bracelet on outsider Japingka, trained at Dubbo by Janelle Galea.

A clear last early, J a pingka ( $ 9 ) b ur s t through gaps and arrived in the last stride to beat the gallant veteran Billy Bent Ear (Leandro Ribeiro, $4.60) and So Extra (Ricky Blewitt, $2.60 favourite).

Eloise Drews works for prominent Scone trainer Luke Pepper who, as a jockey, won the 2003 Bedgerabong Picnic Cup on Red And Black, trained by Johnny Johnson for the late Norman Redfern.

The opening event, the 1100 metres Class 3 Trophy Handicap, saw an all-the-way win by the Sharon Jeffries, Parkestrained Sauce Dragon (Sebastian Galea, $2 fav), over Blackhill Kitty (Leandro Ribeiro, $3.80) and Better Judgement (Grady Spokes, $4.40).

B a c k r iding a ga in following maternity leave, former premiership winner Maddison Wright won the 1100 metres Maiden Plate on the Rodney Robb, Nyngantrained Chart Topper.

VETERANS GOLF

f a v o u r e d t h e bookmakers, outsider Moneymademefamous won the final race, the 1400 metres Class 1 Trophy Handicap.

T r a i n e d a t Tumbarumba by Mount Waters and ridden

by Breanna Bourke, Moneymademefamous ($6) wore down Pahang (Leandro Ribeiro, $1.80 fav) and early leader, Are You Certain (Ricky Blewitt, $2.40).

The magnificent presentation of the track and beautiful surrounds attracted huge praise, with many rating Bedgerabong as TAB track standard.

Gilgandra Races Saturday, 10 February Hard-working local jockey James Rogers had a deserved and popular win aboard Dao Sun on Saturday at Gilgandra.

Rogers handles the majority of horses in track work at Gilgandra, including a sizeable team for trainer, Kieren Hazelton.

The lightly-raced Dao Sun ($4.20 to $3.20) held a slender lead at the top of the straight, then broke clear to win the 1280 metres Maiden Plate by almost three lengths from Underverse (Chelsea Ings, $51) and The Git Up (Ronald Simpson, $2.25 favourite).

Making it a good day for the locals, the Leo Harland trained The Hulkbuster won the final event, the 1280 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap.

The Hulkbuster ($5.50), under jockey Wendy Peel, went straight to the front and held on to win by a long neck from Keys To Love (Will Stanley, $11) and Mean Girls (James Rogers, $3.10 to $2.60 fav).

First leg of a double for Dubbo jockey Wendy Peel was the Cec Hodgson, Coonamble-trained Twyborn Affair, in the 1000 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Close to the front at the 400 metres, Twyborn Affair ($5.50) led for home and, ridden out strongly by Wendy Peel, won by nearly a length from the Wangaratta (VIC) trained Miss Brondolino (Sarah McDonough,$4.20 fav) and Luckyimwithaimee (Will Stanley, $6).

There were dramatic developments after the Mack Griffith, Mudgeetrained Aussie Pharoah (Clayton Gallagher, $3.40 to $4.80) led throughout to win the 1550 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap by over four lengths from Searchlight (Zoe Hunt, $13) and Edith’s Joy (Kath BellPitomac, $11).

Soon after the finish,

Aussie Pharoah veered sharply to the left and crashed through the mounting-yard fence.

Aussie Pharoah escaped serious injury, however, leading jockey Clayton Gallagher suffered a suspected broken wrist.

In the opening race, the 1000 metres Maiden Handicap, Miss Adamas (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $1.90 fav) had a handy lead, however, was run down and beaten a head by the Stephen Jones, Scone-trained Divine DI Dora (Will Stanley, $6), with Platinum Warrior (Clayton Gallagher, $3.40) in third place.

Trained at Dubbo by Clint Lundholm and well ridden by his apprentice Ronald Simpson, Venatic ($4.40) was second to the home turn before going on to win the 800 metres Class 1 Handicap by over a length from Have Mercy (Georgina McDonnell, $6.50) and the leader, Juliette Street (Kath Bell-Pitomac, $31).

Very good support by race goers and sponsors from the village of Tooraweenah, between Gilgandra and Coonabarabran, helped make it a successful race meeting. xxxx Racing at Condobolin Picnics on Saturday, 17 February, and Dubbo (TAB) on Sunday.

Emphatic victory over Curban Coonabarabran’s cricket team gave one of their best performances of the season last Saturday, 10 February, defeating Curban convincingly at Coona’s No. 3 Oval.

CRICKET In beautiful conditions for cricket, about 28 degrees and a cooling north-easterly breeze, Curban won the toss and elected to bat.

Curban started slowly but solidly, and advanced to 20 before losing their first wicket.

They lost a second one so on a f t er, but then three partnerships of 61, 20 and 52 took the score to a very respectable 4-157 at the end of their allotted 40 overs.

M a i n c ont r ibut or s w it h bat wer e D oug Kelly, who opened the i n n i ng s a nd wa s 75 not out when it ended, Andrew Peart (36) and Anthony Barry (22 not out).

L ochlan Campbell, Jericho Chatfield and Nick Willoughby took a

wicket each for Coona, the other batsma n dismissed being run out.

Coona’s response with the bat was emphatic to say the least. T he open i ng pa r tnersh ip only lasted 12 overs, but when James Moffat was dismissed the score was already 59.

A nthony Har r is replaced James at the crease and he and Nick W i l loug hby, C o on a’s other opener, increased the scor ing rate and scored the remaining 99 runs needed for victory in the 26th over.

Nick finished 120 not out and Anthony 27 not out, their partnership scoring at a rate of more than a run a ball, Nick’s innings compiled off just over 60 deliveries. It was a great day for the home team.

Loss to Gulargambone The previous weekend,

Anthony Harris, 27 not out, was a main contributor with the bat in Coona’s win over Curban.

15 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 15 February 2024

Coonabarabran’s senior cricket team had travelled west to play against Gulargambone at Gulargambone.

Coona won the toss and elected to bat and, as has so often been the case this season, the openers Nick Willoughby and James Moffat got the side away to a good sta r t, th is time with an opening partnership of 66, which was only broken in the 14th over.

Un f o r t u n at e ly f o r Coona, that triggered an all-too-familiar collapse, with the side losing three wickets in that over and the whole team being bowled out for 108 in the 28th over.

Opener, Nick Willoughby top scored for Coona with a wellmade 63. No one else reached double figures.

Levi Peters was the best of the bowlers for

Gulargambone, taking 7-29 off six overs.

Gu l a rga mb one’s reply was more than enough to win the game comfortably and, while wickets fell regularly, they pa ssed C o on a’s total in the 24th over, four wickets down.

Brandon Hammond (4 8 ), P r e s t on A h s e e (23) and Jahlem Peters (18 ) we r e t h e m a i n contributors with the bat.

Eben Botha, Anthony Harris, Jericho C hat f ield a nd K a rl Callegia each took one wicket for Coona.

Coona’s next game is against Breelong here in Coona this coming Saturday, 17 February.

The side is hoping to build on their winning result against Cuban with another victory.

N.W.

Nick Willoughby, batted an impressive 120 not out against Curban, and top-scored for Coona against Gulargambone, with 63 runs.

Unicorns to kick off the season on home turf

The first game of the upcoming Castlereagh League season will be a home game for the Coonabarabran Unicorns, who have been back at training for several weeks.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The knockout round will include the Youth League and if enough numbers a re s e cu re d, Wo m e n’s League Tag will compete as well.

The event will kick off o n S a t u r d a y, 13 A p r i l , with teams from across the Castlereagh League making the trip to Coonabarabran.

The aim of the pre -

season knockout will be to eliminate each team, until there are two teams left for a final showdown.

The April start will also a l l o w te a m s to b et te r prepare for the season and escape the heat.

Cur rently there is the p o s s i b i l it y of s i x te a m s in the league, however, numbers are still in their early days.

Throughout summer, the Unicorns First Grade and Youth League sides were

in casual training.

Secretar y of the Coonabarabran Unicorns, Tony Cole said numbers had been looking good over the past couple of weeks.

“It has been ver y positive to see the amount of people training in the heat,” Mr Cole said.

“It shows that they are keen and that they want to play football.

“The Woman’s League is also looking pretty good

– w e a l r e a d y h a ve 11 players and that’s nearly a s i d e, w h i c h i s g r e a t because, we haven’t had a side for a few years.

“We are really hoping to field four full sides this year.”

Numbers in the Youth League are also looking promising.

C o a c h , T i m E va n s i s encouraging new-comers to join and said players from 17 to 18 and a half were eligible to play.

The Coonabarabran Unicorns hard at training on Tuesday evening, in the lead up to the season kick-off in April.

“Kids have got to come to training and put themselves out there,” Mr Evans said. “ W h e n s c h o o l s ta r t s back, training will get a bit more serious.

“We are hoping to put on a good show at the knockout – we’ve got a good side and they should be co m pet it i ve o n the field.

“Youth League is a good pathway to first grade and is a good way to start off

the season.”

L i ke l a s t ye a r, t h e r e will be two rounds of the Castlereagh League competition, with a reserve grade side commencing in the second round of the season.

T h e C o o n a b a ra b ra n U n i co r n s w i l l a l s o h o s t multiple events this year such as the Indigenous rounds, Anzac Day and Sponsors Day. Mr Cole said to watch this space.

Marshall calls for crime action ‘Relentless revolving door’ at courts not helping in reducing criminal activity: MP State Member for Northern Tablelands, Adam Marshall has used his first private member’s statement in the NSW Parliament for 2024 to demand action from courts when prosecuting young offenders.

Mr Marshall called for urgent

action from the Chief Magistrate of NSW and the Attorney General to ensure magistrates receive stronger support to meet community expectations.

The comments followed an impassioned speech in parliament

by Mr Marshall last May for what he has described as a “limp-wristed” response to serious offenders repeatedly put before the courts.

“At the time, I spoke about the tireless efforts of police in the New England district and the

supporting authorities who were doing their absolute best, and giving 100 per cent to hold back the tide of criminal activity,” Mr Marshall told the NSW Parliament last week.

“I also highlighted that, despite

Ron Harborne Oval set for revitalisation

those efforts, the local judiciary were trying to poke holes, as best they could, in that thick blue wall, allowing a backflow of emboldened juvenile offenders back out into the community, time and again.”

MOREE The first sod has been turned, marking the official start to a multimillion-dollar revitalisation of Moree’s home of sport – Ron Harborne Oval.

Stage one of the redevelopment will include a new clubhouse for multiple sports, a parenting room, accessible toilets, new kitchen and canteen and storage facilities.

The project has been years in the making and has been made possible through funding from previous state and federal governments.

Moree Plains Shire Council officials were joined by state Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall and sporting group representatives to mark the milestone.

MP delivers scathing assessment of courts Continued from front page

“My criticism last year earned me the ire of the local judiciary and others who believe a decision made by an officer of the court is sacrosanct and beyond question or criticism. ‘How dare you,’ was the cry from some quarters.”

Mr Marshall said this “limp-wristed approach” to juvenile offenders only does not serve

communities well but also further demoralises the hardworking men and women of the NSW Police Force who are doing their best to keep local streets and communities safe.

Mr Marshall said he had spoken to the victims—countless people—of crimes that include home invasion, car theft, assault, malicious damage, serious driving

offences, robbery and breach of bail conditions.

“One family were horrified to see footage circulating on social media of a number of masked juvenile offenders inside their home, standing around and filming their five-year-old child asleep in their bed,” he said.

“When those offenders are arrested by police—they invariably are arrested incredibly quickly, and I praise the police for that— and charged and put before the courts, we see a lot of decisions that are not in line with what the community expects.”

Mr Marshall detailed specific incidences where repeat offenders had been granted bail and allowed to return to the community.

“The relentless revolving door at Inverell and Moree courthouses has not been helpful in reducing criminal activity. Indeed, it has had the opposite effect,” he said.

“I will continue to push for reform and speak up on behalf of the community to get the changes we need to keep us safe.”

A man has been charged following an investigation into two alleged break-ins, a trespass, and a pursuit in Moree.

About 3am on Wednesday, February 7, emergency services were called after reports a group of men allegedly forced entry into a home on Alice Street, Moree.

Police were told the group stole cash, keys, and fled the location in the occupants’ MG Sedan.

An 87-year-old man home at the time was not injured.

About 5am, the group attempted to enter a home on Gwydir Street, Moree, and when they failed, they fled the area.

Just after 5am, the group – one armed with a knife – forced entry into a motel room on Boggabilla Road, Moree, and stole a wallet and keys. The occupant, a

39-year-old man, was not injured.

About 5.30am, police were patrolling Moree when they sighted the MG Sedan on Alice Street and attempted to stop it.

When the MG allegedly failed to stop as directed, a pursuit was initiated, continuing through Moree. The pursuit was terminated a short time later after losing sight, and was located abandoned in a park on Florence Street, where it was seized for forensic examination.

Following inquiries, about 4.30pm on Wednesday, February 7, police attended a home on Boland Drive, Moree, and executed a search warrant. A short time later, police arrested an 18-yearold man at Yulunga Street. He was taken to Moree Police Station.

The man was charged with two counts of aggravated break and enter commit serious indictable offence, recklessly deal with proceeds of crime, be

carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner, enter enclosed land not prescribed premises without lawful excuse, and breach of bail.

The man was refused bail to appear at Inverell Local Court on Thursday, February 8.

Following further inquiries, about 4.30pm on Thursday, February 8, police attended a home in Moree and executed a search warrant. A 13-year-old boy was arrested and taken to Moree Police Station.

He was charged with two counts of aggravated break and enter and commit serious indictable offence-people there, enter building/land with intent commit indictable offence, be carried in conveyance taken without consent of owner, and participate criminal group contribute criminal activity.

Redevelopmentt to breathe new life into Ron Harborne rborne Oval Continued from front page

Mr Marshall said Moree Plains Shire Council had developed an impressive masterplan for the total upgrade of the Ron Harborne Oval precinct, to support the continuation and growth of junior and senior sports, including, cricket, soccer, netball and athletics.

“Ron Harborne Oval is the main sporting precinct in Moree and the home of netball, soccer, hockey, athletics, cricket, and junior rugby union’s annual gala day,” he said.

“This is such an exciting project and I commend council on its foresight and desire to develop this important asset for multiple sporting groups.

“The revitalisation will be crucial to boost community morale and assist in the attraction and retention of the local workforce and general population.”

Mr Marshall said further improvements would include new carparks with accessible pathways linking to the clubhouse facility.

“The main component of the upgrade is the construction of the new netball courts using flood mitigation strategies close to the

main amenities,” he said.

“The netball courts received significant damage due to flood events in the past, rendering them unsafe.

“Council have now implemented flood mitigation strategies to construct the new courts, with LED lighting, on a raised pad close to the main cricket oval, ensuring the facilities will be above flood levels.”

Deputy mayor Susannah Pearse reflected on the sporting precinct’s namesake, Ron Harborne.

“Ron was a keen sportsman who served as a councillor for Moree Plains from 1981 to 1986 and had a renowned sense of civic pride,” Cr Pearse said.

“Ron Harborne Oval is not just an oval but a place where our community comes together, and for visitors to sporting carnivals, it provides their first glimpse into what life on the Moree Plains has to offer.

“These upgrades to the precinct will enable us to put our best foot forward, supporting our budding young sportspeople, creating a regional facility we can all be proud

The Ron Harborne Oval upgrade masterplan.

of, and paying suitable respect to the man whom it is named after.”

Works on stage one of the Ron Harborne Oval redevelopment should be completed this calendar year.

Stage one works include the construction of six new courts, comprising of four netball courts and two multi-purpose courts, seeing the current netball courts relocated. Council has worked with Transport of NSW to repurpose old bitumen from the current

Newell Highway upgrades.

This material will be used to compact the foundation and build up the ground underneath the courts.

A welcoming space to the sports precinct will be a new clubhouse.

This will be built on to the existing toilet and changeroom.

For the first time the precinct will be able to offer change rooms for both males and females.

A great addition to the precinct will be the completion of the line

marking of a 400m athletics track, something Moree has never had.

“We’ve heard loud and clear that parking and drainage are major issues, especially on regional carnival days, often making access to the grounds a muddy and wet pursuit,” Cr Pearse said.

“As such, stage one works include a raft of drainage improvements, culverts and the addition of new, sealed parking which will run parallel with Gwydir Street.”
