Golden oldies keep Expo running smoothly for teens A huge team of volunteers ensure Expo excellence each year and, despite retiring from riding, the Blackmans return annually as key members of the organising team.

by EMMA HARVEY Wr a p p i n g u p t h e i r thirty-first year at the North West Equestrian E x po, legenda r y head stewa rds R icha rd and Shaen Blackman have witnessed the evolution of the event since its humble beginnings.

Mr and Mrs Blackman are long term supports of Expo. Head stewards of the One Day Event, the Blackmans have been involved in the organisation and execution of the interschools equestrian Expo since its inception at a C oonaba rabra n H igh School Ag Expo in the early nineties. “ The high school had a riding team and they said they’d like to run a gymkhana,” recalled Mr Blackman. “ I th i n k that was 1992. Shaen and I ran the showjumping. Then, I think it was two years later, they asked about running a One Day Event and we said, ‘it’s possible.’

That’s when the numbers exploded.”

Former Coonabarabran locals, the Blackmans lived on a property 15 kilometres east of town

where they reared cattle, working them on horses with their children.

“It’s a nice way to work your cattle, on horseback,” Mr Blackman said.

“When we got a bit older we went to working them on the motorbikes – and it’s not nearly as much fun. Not as aesthetically pleasing!”

Nowadays, the couple live in Mudgee and travel to Coonabarabran for Expo each year.

They stay with good friends for “the best part of a week” Tioand get stuck into their responsibilities as head stewards.

“It’s a fairly full-on week and a bit of work leading up to it,” Mrs Blackman said.

But, despite being well into their eighties, the duo are tireless in their contributions.

From Friday through to Sunday, Mrs Blackman. runs the dressage for the One Day Event, while Mr Blackman manages the cross country.

It’s an extraordinary effort on the part of the two retired riders, but made worthwhile when they see the smiles on the faces of the teenage competitors.

“ They’re a wonderful lot of kids, they’re all so friendly,” Mr Blackman said. “ T he y g e t t o m a ke friends from all over the state and other schools.”

O ver the yea rs, the Blackmans have witnessed the North West Equestrian Expo evolve from a humble horse-riding competition, into the largest interschools equestrian event in Australia. “ We had 6 3 0 r iders one year, which was a bit more than we could handle comfortably so they capped the numbers at 500.”

The most remarkable change has been the everevolving event program, accommodati ng new events and disciplines. “ We have the Warrumbungle Way, the Working Horse Challenge, Team Penning, Hacking, straight Dressage,” Mrs Blackman rattled off. “ There’s so much for them to do.”

“And Polocrosse,” added Mr Blackman. “ Oh ye s! ” s a id M r s Blackman “ It ’s e a s y t o for g et one. This is all from the i nventive mi nd of ou r w o n d e r f u l s e c r e t a r y,

Rebecca Moxham, who’s always thinking up new events.”

As for their own One Day Event, the Blackmans have done the calculations, a nd e s t i m at e t h at it now t a ke s a r ou nd 70 volunteers to get things up and running.

“We get a lot from the schools and we do torment some of our local friends,” Mr Blackman said. “ They all very generously give their time and they all have a specific job to do.”

Nowadays, the Blackman’s backyard in Mudgee isn’t quite big enough for horses and cattle. “ I t ’s a p i t y, ” M r Blackman said.

“But that’s how it is.

“So, it’s a joy to return to Expo, be around the animals and convene with fellow equine enthusiasts.

“It is also great to be part of the team that runs the Expo.

“They’re a good bunch of people, they’re lots of fun.”

Mrs Blackman piped up again.

“And they still put up with the oldies!”

Economic value of Expo Whether it’s rain or shine, the North West Equestrian Expo always seems to bring some much-appreciated growth to Coonabarabran’s local businesses.

by JIMMY WHALAN and GEORGIA SPENCE When speaking to some of our local businesses, it seemed that the overall impact of Expo was a positive one.

Business was booming at Surf, Work and Street, with the popular retail store being much busier over the Expo weekend than in previous years.

Jenna Flood, owner of Coonabarabran Bakery, said business was insanely busy over the weekend, juggling both the Hut at the Showground as well as the main street shop during the course of the Expo.

Amber Burton, from Roach’s Home Hardware,

said that although Expo brings increased business, for them, this year had been quieter than previous years.

“The times we are living in are expensive; maybe they had to be more selfsufficient up there this year,” Amber said.

Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor, Councillor Ambrose Doolan said he had attended Expo and was pleased to see the town’s local accommodation venues were full, with motel signs of lit with ‘no vacancy’.

Cr Doolan said it was not just during Expo itself that the local economy benefitted from the event, but there was a flowon effect that extended throughout the year.

“It’s not just one quick event and ‘that’s it’ – many of the riders come back to town for practice, and I even spoke to one family over the weekend who said they would be returning to town to visit the Warrumbungles,” Cr Doolan said.

Cr Doolan also commented on the many businesses that benefit from Expo including local motels, cafes and eateries, as well as local organisations such as Rotary.

“It’s a wonderful thing and the organisers are to be congratulated on their efforts in putting together such an important event for our town.”

Bungles to rumble once more In exciting news for the region, Yarn Support Connect - Coonabarabran Suicide Prevention Network, has been successful in applying for a $50,000 Create NSW grant to host a second Bungle Rumble event in town later this year.

Following rave reviews of the inaugural music and market event held in November 2022 , orga n isers had been hoping to secure funding to return the event to Coonabarabran.

Bungle Rumble organiser, Kodi Brady, said the funding announcement was welcome news a fter a len g t hy appl ic at ion process.

“A lthough the event will need to be cof u nd e d , t h i s $ 5 0 , 0 0 0 will mean that we can start making plans and booking performers,” Mr Brady said. “ We’re so excited to be able to build on the momentum f rom the f i rst Bu ngle Ru mble and transform it into an ongoing annual event for Coonabarabran.”

While the foundations f o r t h i s y e a r ’s e v e n t w i l l r ema i n the sa me - head l i ne act , lo ca l performers, market stalls and food vans - there will be some changes.

With one event already u nder thei r belt , M r Brady said they had a bit more insight leading

into the next one.

“This time it will be a low-cost, ticketed event, but we are trying to keep admission fees as low as possible to make Bungle R u m bl e a c c e s s i bl e t o ever yone,” M r Brady said. “ T her e wa s a lot of feedback that we collated from the first event and most people sa id they would have been more t h a n h appy t o pay t o attend the concer t, so we are hopeful that will work in our favour. “ We w i l l a l s o b e i nc or p or at i ng f u r t her cultural elements to the l i neup, a nd have a lso chosen t o push back the event back t o a late afternoon /evening event...because last year was just too hot in the middle of the day!”

In the next week, Yarn S upp or t C on ne c t w i l l h o ld it s f i r s t B u n g l e Rumble planning meeting, and while no book i ngs have been m ade , M r B r ady s a id they had been in contact with a number of artist managers. “ T h e r e a r e also sponsorship

LETTER TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Concerns I write to voice my c o n c e r n a b out a n adver t i s ement i n l a st week's Coonabarabran T imes. T hose who a re u n aw a r e o f G r a h a m ‘ Hoody ’ Hood would have seen an ad to meet some guy and his wife at t h e B o wl o . I f y o u wer e s em i- su spic iou s , y ou c ou ld t h i n k it i s possibly a veiled religious event, proselytising in disguise, as often pops up i n t h i s t ow n . You would definitely think it is advertising something innocuous with the ad’s vague wording and cheerful colours.

But if you have been keeping up with the everdescending rabbit-hole of conspi racy theor ies – QA non, S overeig n Citizens, anti-vax, antic l i m at e c h a n g e , e t c . , that have proliferated in Australia during COVID, then you k now that Graham Hood is heavily i nvolved i n promoti ng and platforming people who espouse extremist views as well as spouting his own, mainly around spreading misinformation about vac ci nations. I f you have heard the word “cooker ” a nd wonder what it means, it means someone who is on Graham Hood’s videos,

Facebook page, and at his events.

The man himself has used whatever persona is handy to try to engage an audience, from wearing his ex-employer’s uniform (who does that, really?), to his porn/sex “addiction”, to wrapping himself in D i g g e r my t hol o g y, t o “larrikin”.

“So what?” you might s ay, “ he ’s ju s t t r y i n g to get his message out there”. Yep, he sure is – a message of hate and division (ask him about his thoughts about drag q u e e n s) a n d m e d i c a l misinformation all under the banner of “unity”.

Whether for money or adoration – who knows, but he is coming here for his own personal gain and I worry that the trap he has set with his ad will ensnare the vulnerable and the unsure in our town. Beware, Coonabarabran, of this wolf in sheep’s clothing.

For more information I have compi led a list of links to articles about th is man and the misin formation he spreads and you can find it at: bit.ly/hood-winked.

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap • Rain in some southern regions has helped the sheep market but has not had much effect on the cattle market.

• Yardings have tightened in cattle, sheep and lambs.

• Lamb slaughter in Victoria reached its highest level in three years.

Cattle The cattle market continued to soften this week, despite rain tightening yardings across parts of the country. NSW and South Australia yardings remained firm, yet softened significantly in Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia.

The overall national volume ended the week below the weekly average for the year.

A significant tightening in dairy cow supply this week saw the indicator improve by 8¢ to end the week at 165.5¢/kg liveweight (lwt). The Dairy Cow indicator ended the week as the best performer.

As a result of high numbers of young cattle on-farm, restocker yearling

heifers experienced a 14.6¢ or 6% drop this week, to finish the week at 232¢/ kg lwt – this is the lowest price the indicator has been since early January 2020.

Processor cows finished the week firm, demonstrating that solid demand from processors is continuing to translate into firmer pricing performance relative to other categories.

It’s important to note that now restocker demand has eased as a result of the intense herd rebuild over the last three years, the finished and feeder cattle prices in cents per kilogram of liveweight terms are the best indicators of market performance.

Sheep Sheep and lamb yardings have come back again this week, hitting 63,587 and 133,189 head respectively. Numbers at Wagga Wagga fell by 13,000 head, with a 12,000 head reduction in lamb numbers. Overall quality did improve but not all buyers were active or present. Heavy export stock were able to lift in price.

Some good rains across the southern regions have allowed prices across all categories to improve week-on-week. Heavy lambs lifted 5¢ week-onweek to 624.88¢/kg carcase weight (cwt), with Wagga Wagga contributing 25% to the throughput in the indicator.

The trade lamb indicator improved by 47¢ after a 117¢ jump in prices at Hamilton, which contributed 11% to the indicator. This is despite numbers through the indicator lifting by just over 11% week-on-week.

Prices in the indicator increased across all weight ranges, with the heavier lambs (24–26kg) taking out a premium.

Mutton prices also improved to 387.4¢/kg cwt. Forbes, which had the greatest contribution of 5,207 head, held firm on prices as numbers fell and quality was mixed.

The 24–30kg weight range is fetching the highest premium but the 14–18kg sheep improved the most week-on-week.

Slaughter Lamb slaughter in Victoria this week reached 210,902 head – the highest in over three years. The prioritisation between mutton, lamb and goat is still evident in the NLRS slaughter figures as the small stock competes for kill floor space. The lift in goats to 44,643 head this week saw a slight softening in sheep and lamb slaughter.

Sheep and lamb slaughter in NSW and Victoria has eased this week, but goat slaughter was able to increase.

Cattle slaughter picked up 6% week-on-week and now sits 28% above yearago numbers. © Meat & Livestock Australia Limited, 2023

Driver awareness of local wildlife The Dubbo region has been ranked as the number one hotspot for animal collisions across the state.

by GEORGIA SPENCE L iv ing out in the country is bound (no pun intended) to bring some unsuspecting occurrences.

A recent study shows Dubbo leads the state i n r el at ion t o a n i ma l collisions in NSW and with many local people making regular trips to the larger regional centre, it is important for drivers to know what to do if a collision does occur.

Roads at dawn and dusk attribute to potentially

d a n g er ou s c ond it ion s for incidents involving wildlife and can result in expensive insurance claims – or hospitalisation of the driver.

Winter has been found to be the worst time of year for animal collisions.

One in three collisions take place between June through to August as the days get shorter. Between dusk and dawn is where visibility is low and risk is high.

R esea r ch conduc t ed by insurance companies

has found around half of Australians have collided w ith w ild li fe while driving.

S i x t y- o n e p e r c e n t of those d r ivers have dangerously swerved or slammed the brakes in order to avoid hitting the animal.

This can be costly, with a n average i nsu ra nce claim costing between $5500 and $6400.

One in seven cases have their car written off due to the severity of impact.

Drivers need to expect

and prepa re for the unexpected on the roads, drive to the speed limits and know how to safely minimise the risk of a collision.

K ahl Dwight, A A M I he ad o f mot or c l a i m , sa id he u ndersta nds the unpredictability of accidents and how to avoid one.

He encourages drivers to slow down and brake over swer v i ng, as it endangers other drivers and increases the risk of a heavy collision.

“It’s far less dangerous t o keep d r iv i ng a nd damage your car than swerve to avoid it and col l ide w ith a nother veh icle or tree,” M r Dwight said.

It is a lso impor tant to know what to do if a collision with an animal does occur. The loss of native animals has a huge impact on endangered species and biodiversity in Austra l ia. W here impact has occurred it is important to stop if safe and check the welfare of

the animal.

If injured and alive, call WIRES or your local wildlife rescue service.

If the animal is deceased, wildlife rescuer and care volunteer May W h it t a l l r e c om mend s you check the animal and surrounds for a pouch i n case of the a n ima l mothering a baby.

It is important to note that kangaroos, echidnas and wombats a l l have pouches and some babies can be dislodged on impact.

“Carefully remove the joey – cut the teat if the joey is attached – place joey in a soft sack/bag and keep warm until it is able to be assessed by a vet,” Mrs Whittall said. “ I f y o u a r e uncomfortable handling the animal, note your exact location and call a wildlife rescue organisation.”

To support the ongoing rescue and care of native wildlife affected by collisions donate to W I RE S or you local wildlife sanctuary.

VIEW CLUB NEWS June 2023 The Coonabarabran VIEW Club celebrated its 27th birthday at its June meeting.

Quite a few of its members have been with the club all those years, and indicated how they have enjoyed both the social aspect and being able to contribute to the education and well-being of students over those 27 years.

Our guest speaker was local woman, Jo Redden, who spoke of her journey through life and her magnificent transformation of the old Masonic Lodge in Coonabarabran into a comfortable home. Both inside and out it is a credit to her, with plans of it becoming a bed and breakfast venue.

The VIEW Club decided to support the Smith Family’s Winter Appeal.

What’s the Voice referendum about?

What is the Voice?

It’s about whether we should change the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by setting up an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. A referendum is the only way to change the Australian Constitution.

The Voice would be a permanent body that gives independent advice to the Australian Parliament and Government on matters that affect First Nations people.

The Voice aims to help the Parliament and Government to make better decisions and deliver better outcomes for First Nations people.

A survey by the Smith Family found Australians believe that the cost of living is having a greater impact on education than the COVID-19 pandemic, and believe that child poverty has worsened because of this crisis.

Supporting this Winter Appeal will surely bring warmth to those needy families.

Delegates from our club were able to meet with delegates from Narrabri, Gunnedah and Tamworth last week, to enjoy an informative “get together” with the VIEW national president Mary Anne Maher and vice president Elizabeth Birch. It was rewarding to know the efforts of VIEW clubs are making a difference to many students – 1659 to be exact.

Keep warm.

Leonie

How will the Voice be set up?

How it’s set up would be determined after the referendum with input from First Nations people, the broader public and the Government. The Parliament would then make a law to set up the Voice.

The intention is that its members will be chosen by and representative of, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from across Australia.

Firefighters deliver winter safety warning Residents often think about fire safety in hindsight, so a timely reminder from local firefighters should have everyone checking appliances and winter heating habits.

by JIMMY WHALAN Wi nt er is now upon us! As we rug up next to fireplaces and heaters, it’s important to be vigilant w ith f i re r isks and know how to reduce the likelihood of household fires.

Deputy capta i n of F ire and R escue NSW (FRNSW) Coonabarabran station, Zachary Estens, said that Coonabarabran av e r a g e s a r o u nd t w o chimney related fires each year.

Within the last month, th ree f i re i ncidents have already occurred, w it h r e s id e nt s b e i n g

encouraged to educate themselves on proper fire safety and maintenance.

The first of these fires occurred at 5.10pm on Tuesday, 16 May, and was an alleged arson attack at the external stairwell of Coonabarabran Town Hall.

The second occurred on Thursday, 18 May, at 5pm and was caused by the improper disposal of hot coals, resulting in a garden fire.

T he mo s t r e c ent of these fires occurred in Baradine on Friday, 19 M ay, at 1 2 . 3 0 pm a nd was caused by a lack of fireplace maintenance,

resulting in a chimney fire.

Coonabarabran F ire and R escue encourage residents to ensure their houses are fire safe and book a Home Safety Visit.

B o ok i n g s for Home Safety Visits can be made on the Fire and Rescue NSW website at: fire.nsw. gov.au/page.php?id=9316 or by contacting your local station.

At the lau nch of F R NSW ’s Winter F ire safety Campaign, f i ref ighters set f i re t o a mock bed room at a t esti ng g rou nd at L ondonderry ( pictured right), in Sydney’s west, to

demonstrate how fire can destroy a typical bedroom within just three minutes. “ Work i ng smoke alarms save lives, and sadly complacency can be deadly,” said FRNSW C omm issioner Pau l Baxter.

Mobility assistance available

Airborne electromagnetic survey in greater Dubbo to Coonabarabran region The NSW Government’s Geological Survey, in collaboration with Geoscience Australia, are conducting an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey to inform the search for mineral and groundwater resources.

The AEM survey area covers the greater Forbes to Dubbo region and has been extended north to the Coonabarabran region.

A helicopter will fly at a height of 70 m collecting data during daylight hours in June 2023. It will fly approximately east–west along lines up to 7.5 km apart and will avoid homesteads, towers, stock concentrations and steep terrain. It will remain within the survey boundary shown, except when turning around at the end of a survey line or flying to or from airfields.

Donna and Steven Hunt (pictured above), from Open Mobility, provide their service for the community on Wednesdays at the end of every month outside the Warrumbungle Community Care building in John Street, Coonabarabran. Services provided include mobility scooters, bedroom equipment, lift chairs, and daily living aids such as walking frames, shower stools and easy-to-use kitchen utensils.

Local achievers awarded Order of Australia medals PETER SHINTON, OAM When Peter Shinton moved to Purlewaugh with his family in 1979, it was his young daughter who encouraged him to get involved with the community.

by EMMA HARVEY She walked with him along the modest main street, introducing store owners as they went.

“That’s how I got to know the town,” recalled Shinton, a geologist by trade, who was rearing sheep and cattle on a small property at the time.

“And then one day my daughter said to me, ‘Mum and I go into town on Saturdays and you stay at home. Why don’t you go and play cricket?’”

So he joined the local club.

Purlewaugh Cricket Club is no longer active these days, although the same can’t quite be said for Mr Shinton’s involvement in his local community.

Almost 50 years on, Mr Shinton has been awarded the 2023 Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the King’s Birthday Honours, for service to local government, and to the community of Coonabarabran.

The award recognises his career as councillor and then mayor of Warrumbungle Shire Council (2005-2018), as well as his appointments in organisations such as NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, NSW Rural Fire Service Yaminbah Brigade, among many more citations in sports, community care, and volunteering.

Mr Shinton was also honoured with a Life Membership by the Association of Mining and Energy Related Councils NSW over the weekend, for his leadership as Chair for six years and delegate for 20 years.

Despite a storied and accomplished career, Mr Shinton said the news of his OAM came as a complete shock.

“I haven’t been humbled that much in all my life,” he said.

Such is his modesty that, when asked about

some of his proudest moments from over the years, Mr Shinton was powerless to talk of his achievements without recognising at least several accomplices, colleagues, and friends along the way.

He recalled organising the Senior Citizens barbecue, cracking jokes with Tony Brain.

Hosting Australia Day luncheons with his wife, Julie, during his incumbency. And fond memories with the members of Castlereagh Turf Club.

“There were such incredible people,” Mr Shinton said. “We had the time of our lives.”

But perhaps the most impacting period of Mr Shinton’s career, was when he stood as mayor and head of the Bushfire Management Committee during the 2013 Wambelong bushfires, guiding the community as it rallied together in grief and fortitude.

“I’ll never forget that time,” Mr Shinton said.

An additional feather in his cap, was his part in the formation of the Coonabarabran Rugby Club, along with “John McCaffrey, Rob Stinson, the Bruces, most of the Knights – all those sort of blokes.”

The year was 1981 and the Kookas were but a twinkle in the eye of its founding fathers.

“We called our first meeting at the Imperial Hotel and about 10 people showed up. So I said, ‘we’ll have another go and, if it doesn’t work, we’ll all support Gunnedah Rugby Club and that’ll be that’.”

The following week, they called the meeting again and the turnout was fantastic. Even as a man who stands over six foot, Mr Shinton was “one of the short guys!”

“Within a few years, believe it or not, we were up with the rest of them,” Mr Shinton said of the young club. “Up with the best.”

A local sports team may seem like a footnote in a life marked by many professional heights, but it captures Mr Shinton’s knack and passion for community-building, his determination to get things off the ground, and to work with others to see them through.

As for tracking down the person or persons responsible for submitting him for this award, Mr Shinton said he wouldn’t quite know where

to begin.

“I have no idea,” he said. “No idea. You look around and you think, ‘it could have been you, it could have been you!’ I might have to give up on that one.”

Such is Mr Shinton’s connection to the Coonabarabran and wider community – the list of likely suspects is as immeasurable as his impact.

Peter Shinton, then mayor of Warrumbungle Shire Council, and Quentin Bryce, met with victims of the Wambelong Bushfire in 2013.

DONNA BURTON, OAM Looking up at the sky has always been a passion for astronomer, Donna Burton and the awarding of an OAM in the King’s Birthday Honours recognises her service to science.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The Order of Australia Medal (OAM) is awarded for services worthy of recognition from the Governor General.

A prestigious process, the community-nominated award recognises Donna Burton for her services to science and astronomy.

Shocked, Ms Burton did not believe she could win such a distinguished award.

She had originally deleted the emails in relation to the award, until a call from the Governor General’s office recognised her officially.

“I was not going to accept it at first; I don’t do it for awards, I do it for the love,” she said.

Currently studying a PhD in Astrophysics, Ms Burton’s passion for astronomy clearly shows.

Living through drought in the country was not easy for her.

It was, however, where her love for the open skies began.

“I never saw rain until around 11 years old,” Ms Burton said.

Observing the clear skies above eventually led to a career in studying it, becoming an avid researcher in astronomy, dark skies and astro tourism.

Ms Burton has had many highlights throughout her career.

She was the first Australian woman to find two new comets, which was not something she was aware of.

Three years after the discovery,

Donna Burton loves educating people about the wonders of astronomy.

• GAMILARAAY WORD OF THE WEEK •

it became news to the world as NASA’s satellites were able to photograph it.

Her discovery was shared in papers throughout London, New York and across Australia.

Locally, Donna is known as ‘Donna the Astronomer,’ providing tours of the night sky from Milroy Observatory.

The work she does is important, giving those who have never seen the dark sky an opportunity to learn and observe.

Not only does this support the local tourism industry, but it aids in further research of light pollution and its effects.

“Dark skies effect our health, our environment, our animals – it effects so much,” Ms Burton said.

Coonabarabran being the ‘Astronomy Capital of Australia’, it is important to keep light pollution down as astronomers can discover something new at any moment.

The OAM award has had a humbling effect on Ms Burton’s life and she is grateful for the nomination.

“If it can help me make a difference and give me more credibility to saving our dark skies, then it is a good thing,” she said.

Ms Burton will continue studying the sky and sharing her knowledge with the community as more opportunities arise.

As part of our weekly feature, the Coonabarabran Times is running a ‘Gamilaraay word of the week’, in celebration of our local Indigenous language.

This week’s Gamilaraay word of the week is thandarr, meaning ‘frost’.

Remembering Allan Last Friday, 9 June, the family and friends of local firefighter, Allan Taylor gathered to remember his life one year on from his sudden passing.

Allan was the captain o f t he D a nd r y R u r a l Fire Service ( RFS) Brigade and those close t o h i m descr ibed h i m as immensely proud of his fellow crew – always r e c o g n i s i n g t he work of i nd iv idu a l br i g ade members.

When his family and f r iends came t ogether last Friday, a plaque was unveiled by Allan’s wife, Debbie.

Under the plaque lies a portion of Allan’s ashes, and will take pride of place directly beneath a Cat 7 tanker.

Mrs Taylor said that she was happy to have been approached to have some of Allan’s remains

i nc or p orat ed i nt o the brigade shed.

“The Dandry Brigade was so important Allan, and the shed is bursting with his memories,” Mrs Taylor said.

“It’s wonderful that our family and his friends h ave a pl ace t o sit , remember him, and even have a quiet chat.”

Brigade captain, Paul Tandy said the plaque would be a great way to keep Allan’s memory alive.

“A l l a n w i l l be her e every time we turn out and every time we have a social function,” Mr Tandy said.

“A seat and a drink will be set out so he can join in.”

In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quick-fire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?” And so the chain begins.

The plaque which is located in the middle bay and underneath the Cat 7 unit at the Dandry Brigade shed.

How long have you lived in Coonabarabran? Fifty-two years.

What’s your day job? I wear a few hats. If I’m not at Hayes Homemaker Heaven (co-owner), I’m volunteering at the Rural Fire Service. Otherwise, I’m over the road helping my daughter, Jacinta, at Cardians.

What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? Probably the work I do with the Rural Fire Service. I’m the catering captain for the Support Brigade here in the Castlereagh Zone. I cater for their training, meetings, events, and manage the Catering Brigade to feed fire crews during fire related incidents.

What’s your work-day snack? I pop over the road to Cardians! First thing in the morning – straight over the road for a coffee.

What’s your favourite holiday destination? Fiji. We’ve been about eight or nine times.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? Probably just sit! Usually I have three of our five grandkids morning and afternoon. So when they’ve all gone home I can finally put my feet up.

How would your friends and family describe you in three words? Kind, dedicated, and reliable.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? I think when we were in Glen Innes for Regional

been no rain there since 16 May. Perth has had 180mms rainfall for the first 12 days of June, including the wettest June day with 71.2mms since 1986.

This was the wettest start to June since 1934 a nd the th i rd wett est si nce 1876 . T he other wettest start to June was in 1890. Two other wetter starts to June were in 1920 and 1923.

T h i s he av y r a i n i n Perth did set up heavy rain late last week in north-east Victoria and the Riverina, but little or no rain further north into Qld. There were record daily

Violet Town, Victoria, r e c o r d e d 10 1 m m s o n 8 Ju ne – t he wet t e s t June day in 140 years, surpassing the previous wet t e st Ju ne d ay of 69.9mms on 15 June 1898.

At other places i n Victoria, Tatura recorded 6 7. 8 m m s , s u r p a s s i n g the prev ious wett est June day of 48.8mms in 1951. Whitfield recorded 112mms. Strathbogie with 122mms and Whitlands with 147mms all easily had their wettest June days on record in over 120 years of records.

Ivan hoe, nor th of Hillston in NSW, which

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public Tablet robotic kits Students across the school have been greatly enjoying engaging in STEM learning through the tablet robotics kits from the Department of Education’s STEM T4L library.

Last Friday, students in Kindergarten were building a motorised Lego model of a cave car using Lego Spike Essential kits.

Students in 1/2/4 completed this task the previous week and were then challenged to modify

their cave car to enable the lights to pan back and forth automatically. This was a great challenge for our older students and Petria commented that students were very creative with their solutions. Great to see problem-solving in action!

Mark Pitts rugby 7s We had another actionpacked session at sport with Mark Pitts last week.

We began the session with lots of agility based warm ups, and really focused our skills on weaving, fast feet

Baradine Central and ball carrying. We then played a game of Tricky Tries, where we try to score a try before someone tags us. We then played some ball tag, where we had to touch people with the ball to get them out.

After ball tag, we played one of our favourite games of Octopus/Seaweed.

Mark also touched on the idea of sportsmanship, and how this looks while playing fun games and competition games.

Agriculture show team The Baradine Central show team has recently been very busy travelling to three shows, competing on five show days over a period of just nine days.

T he Ba rad ine Central School’s Santa Gertrudis Stud, Texel Sheep Stud and commercial steers and heifers, all travelled to Dubbo, Coonamble and Gulargambone Shows.

The show team competing at these shows , c on si st ed of a hard-working group of 20 students, with students at school a lso helping to prepare the livestock during agriculture classes.

This is a huge commitment for a central school. The school also is proud of its achievement in being owner/breeder of all its livestock.

Some of the results are as follows: Dubbo Show Cattle: 4th place – Trade Steer; 2nd place – Trade Heifer, R eser ve Champion; Limousin breed – Junior champion bull.

Any Other Breed Bos Indicus: Female under 12 months – 1st, Junior Champion; Bull under 12 months – 1st, 2nd, Junior Champion, Reserve Champion , Supreme Champion; Breeders group of three – 1st ( 2 bulls and 1 heifer); Most Successful Exhibitor in Breed - any other breed Bos Indicus.

Dubbo Show Sheep: 1st – Texel Milk Tooth Ewe and Reserve Champion; 3rd – R am Lamb; 2nd – Pair Ewes.

The show season has now concluded, and it is time for everyone to rest, including the sheep and cattle. It’s also time for the Baradine Central show team to concentrate on their studies at school.

On the farm it remains busy. The Santa Gertrudis Stud cows are due to calve, as are the Limousin-X cows. We are hoping for 12 healthy calves. They are the cattle we will show in 2024.

The Texel Stud ewes are due to lamb in September.

If the same twinning rate is achieved as 2022, there should be 12 lambs to train for the 2024 show season.

The poultry incubators have also been turned on with many chickens due to hatch out over the next few months, starting in term three.

So, while it may be quiet on the show front, it is a very busy time at Baradine Central School.

Finally, a huge thank you to the hard-working show societies for all your hard work. Also, our school community for supporting the show team. T he opportunities provided for our students help make them better members of our community.

Coonabarabran Public Sorry Day Friday, 26 May, marked the start of Reconciliation Week, with many students part of the community participation walk across the M a r y Ja ne Ca i n Bridge in Coonabarabran to commemorate Sorry Day. This has become a local tradition that the students understand and look forward to each year.

Some students joined Mrs Evans and Ms Kuras at the Town Hall for formal proceedings, where they listened to local stories and were immersed in culture from the dance g roup. T he school was very proud to watch some of our students dance.

School captain, Kuparr Gordon spoke about what Sorry Day means to him

on behalf of our school.

It was an emotional and highly significant day for our school.

Warrumbungle National Park: Part 3 The District Surveyor at Dubbo was then directed to investigate the proposal.

A surveyor (Prior) was on the job with his report of 27 September, 1937.

‘As purely mountain scenery, I think they are second to none in this State.

‘Certainly they are a comparatively dry range, there being no water falls, but to offset this, there is an absence of that monotony which usually is in evidence in mountain scenery; every peak, slope, rise etc., appears to be different and the whole combine, to form a wonderful skyline.

‘The numerous rock formations are of considerable interest to the geologist, for whose operations there is ample scope.

‘Generally speaking, these mountains would be very popular with sufficient publicity and provision of facilities.

‘At the present time tourists have, to a certain extent, to trespass on private property when visiting the range.

‘It appears to me that reservation is desirable; should the upper slopes of these mountains be ringbarked, much of their natural’.

In supporting his surveyor, District Surveyor Corlis of Dubbo added: ‘The Warrumbungle Ranges are, in this part of the State, the most westerly mountain chain of any scenic value, indeed going west from this locality one finds almost featureless country for 80 miles to isolated peaks at Mount Harris and Mount Foster and thence for about 100 miles to hills in the locality of Cobar.

‘North-west there is practically no relief from the plains until the Queensland border is reached’.

The District Surveyor further stated that the matter which called for serious consideration, was the manner in which withdrawals from lease could be affected.

He advised that the whole of the land was the subject of some Crown Land Act tenancy and that almost the whole of the area proposed was held in three long term leases. He also added: ‘It is, in my opinion, desirable that steps should be taken to withdraw from private ownership at least sufficient of this area to protect it from the possibility of spoilation by timber destruction and to ensure that the general public should have unfettered access to what is, in my personal view, a most attractive and interesting resort’.

Resort? The attitudes still continue to present day.

The recommendations were approved by the Minister on 29 December, 1937. Thus, the hopes of National Parks and Primitive Areas Council and the Department’s field staff were somewhat dashed by the attitude of people sitting at desks in

Sydney.

These people made statements of assumption that something would no doubt be not accessible, or something else might well not be met, or to withdraw something that might be undesirable.

Because of surveying difficulties, the necessary work by aerial survey was delayed.

By 1938, the three Shires had also indicated their support, but were tentative as to the views of the landowners, the cost of acquisition and the road access.

Coonabarabran Shire expressed wholehearted support and requested the best method to support the proposal.

They were concerned with clearing and timber removal.

As usual, the Shire engineers were asked to present reports.

By the time the necessary surveying work had been completed, World War II had commenced and further action relative to the establishment of the monument or park was suspended.

Dunphy had a word about the Forestry Commission’s interest in using the area: ‘Actually, the uses of the Commission’s lands for recreation and conservation of wild-life and flora are second class uses, subject to logging operations, disturbance of wild-life, and the

progressive destruction of the real forest beauty which so many conservationists and recreationists are making every effort to preserve.

‘My Council believes that national forests, state forests and forest reserves should be administered on a strictly commercial basis, and no fooling with aesthetics.

‘In any case, the subject of aesthetics, in so far as it concerns an appreciation for forest beauty, is out of focus with the Commission.

‘We think this is as it should be, because the Commission’s province is to produce timber.

‘The Commission says timber is a crop and timber lands should be managed to produce a sustained yield’.

This is an excellent example of Dunphy’s conservation ethics in full flight.

He has no qualms about advising the target reader or observer of his philosophy on the definition of national parks as against forests.

He points out very strongly what forests should be used for, and that aim does not agree with his ideas of a national park.

Dunphy also had found that the Bushwalkers Federation had, for some reason, tried to divert the park scheme into the Forestry Commission under the Forestry Act. Dunphy was not impressed;

and was of the opinion that the Federation had made an error of judgement and this caused a deal of anxiety for a while.

A political inspection A visit was made to through the Warrumbungles Mountains by Jack Renshaw MLA and F. J. Finnan, Minister for Tourist Activities, in

March 1947.

The politicians arrived in Coonamble, where they were entertained with a dinner before proceeding to the mountains through Blackman’s and Pincham’s properties then over the gap to the Tannabar Valley, before proceeding on to Coonabarabran.

It was supposed to have been the first vehicular

crossing of the mountains.

The vehicle was a jeep built by the USA for military purposes and being 4WD, was ideal for the trip.

This visit probably occurred as a result of the processes and deliberations that the NPPA Council had been involved in.

There is no official request evident for

this excursion, but was probably instigated by Jack Renshaw.

The only person that eventually became involved in the Park administration was Keith Blackman.

Len Stockings died a few weeks later when he contracted tetanus.

Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup blockbuster!

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE In a history-making m at c h , t he f i r s t - ever defence of the Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup will take place at Dunedoo’s Robertson Oval this Saturday, 17 June, when the Swa n net t es will line up against the Narromine Jets in what should be an outstanding game of league tag.

If the Skinner Cup is not a big enough incentive to win the game, throw i n the fac t that the v ict or ious team w i l l secure the outright lead on the competition ladder.

Currently, both sides sit on 18 competition points and top the competition table, undefeated.

It all adds up to what

should be an exhilarating game of league tag that deservedly will attract wide interest and a big viewing audience!

The Castlereagh League first grade round six clash between the Swans and the Jets also shapes as a c omp el l i n g f i x t u r e , with the host side being notoriously tough at home.

The Swans will be out to arrest a two-game losing streak, having gone down to Cobar and Baradine in their last two matches, with both those matches being played away from Robertson Oval.

They will be up against a Jet’s outfit that is nicely positioned on the competition ladder, although it can be argued that not even the most one-eyed Jets supporter would deny that they were very fortunate to secure a win against the Gilgandra Panthers in round five.

After a slow start to the season, the Panthers’ performance against the Jets would suggest that they have plenty to offer on the playing field, and perhaps the controversial loss in that game will give them motivation to get back into the winning side of the ledger.

The Panthers will be hosting their arch rivals, the Coonamble Bears, with the Bears coming off the

bye after recording their first win, that being over the Binnaway Bombshells the week before in round four.

The Binnaway B ombshells and the Baradine Magpies will clash at “The Crater” and this could well go down to the wire and be the most entertaining game of the round, with both teams possessing an abundance of youth and enthusiasm.

The final game sees the Coonabarabran Unicorns at home to the Gulgong, with the Unicorns setting themselves the task of being the first team to lower the Terriers’ colours this year.

The Cobar Roosters will have the bye, but their youth league team will be travelling to Binnaway on Sunday to take on the Bombshells in a semifinal of the Youth League competition, with that game kicking off at The Crater at 1.00pm.

I n a nother exc it i ng development for Castlereagh League, eight of the nine clubs have nominated teams for a reserve grade competition that will commence in a few weeks time.

Those clubs are Cobar, Coonabarabran, B i n n aw ay, B a r ad i ne , Dunedoo, Gulgong, Gilgandra and Narromine!

This follows on from the great success of the inaugural Castlereagh L eag ue reser ve g rade competition last year, an innovation that created huge interest.

CENTRAL & WESTERN RACING by COL HODGES Parkes Races Saturday, 10 June Finishing fast down the outside, Goulburn galloper Cartography swept past more fancied rivals to win the 1400 metres Cup on Saturday at Parkes.

The favourites, Epaullo Creed and Neidr Dawn, looked set to fight out the finish until the Greg Stephens trained, $21 outsider Cartograthy, ridden by Nick Heywood, emerged on the scene to win by a half head from Argyll Gardens (Anaelle Gangotena, $5.50), with a half length to third-placed Neidr Dawn (Will Stanley, $3.50 favourite).

Locals among the very big crowd cheered home the Sharon Jeffries, Parkes-trained Shotgun Sophie in the opening event, the 800 metres Maiden Plate.

Jumping from the outside barrier, Shotgun Sophie (Andrew Banks, $13) raced outside the

leader before edging past Shaala Magic (Kayla Nisbet,$3.60) to prevail by a half head, with Sing And Dance (Jayden Barrie, $3.50 favourite) a handy third.

First up for Dubbo trainer Brett Robb after racing in Victoria, Writtenbyalady proved costly to bookmakers when winning the 1200 metres Maiden Handicap.

Carrying several big bets, Writtenbyalady (Jake Barrett, $2.60 to $1.70 fav) raced in second place to the home turn, then shot away to win by four lengths from Vivalicious (Hollie Hull, $15) and the leader, Asteria Star (Richard Bensley, $26).

Northern Conqueror and Jin Chi Phantom led for home in the 1200 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap before the Doug Gorrel, Canberratrained Sestina (Anaelle Gangotena, $2.60 fav) took control to win convincingly from Magic Stratagems (Coriah Keating, $21) and Japingka (James Rogers, $1).

A last-start winner at Moree Picnics, the Natalie Pearce, Dubbo-trained Leviticon (Wendy Peel, $11) made it successive wins when it ran down Love Rat (Jayden Barrie, $4.20 ) in the final stages to score by a neck, with Cuevas (Andrew Banks,$8) third in the 1000 metres Class 1 Handicap.

Gulgong Races Sunday, 11 June Ridden a great race by apprentice Kelsey

Lenton, the Jane Clement, Armidale-trained Red Beryl won the 1200 metres Gulgong Gold Cup on Sunday in a thrilling finish.

An arguably recordbreaking crowd at Gulgong saw Hampton Cove, Rylan’s Pick and Patrick May lead the ninehorse field, with Red Beryl settling in last position.

Patrick May (Will Stanley, $5.50) hit the front over the closing stages before Kelsey Lenton drove Red Beryl ($6) through a narrow gap on the rails to win the Cup by a short half head, with a half length to the thirdplaced Tandem (Madeline Owen, $13).

Ronald Simpson followed a treble at Bathurst and a double at Dubbo with a treble at Gulgong to complete a big week for the talented apprentice.

There were 12 bookmakers operating at the non TAB Gulgong meeting and some offered $101 about Simpson’s mount, Shadow Shot, in the opening event the 1400 metres Maiden Handicap Several bets of $2000 to $20 were recorded and the Brett Thompson, Gulgongtrained Shadow Shot eventually started at $18.

Lumin (Jake Barrett, $2 favourite) held a good lead in the straight, but was overhauled and beaten almost a length by Shadow Shot, which came from last early, while Jaxon’s Day (Andrew Banks, $5) finished fast from the tail

of the field for third.

Second leg of the Ronald Simpson treble was Dawn County in the 1200 metres Class 2 Handicap.

First up since coming from Victoria to the Kieren Hazelton stable at Gilgandra, Dawn County ($3.40) was given a charmed run behind the leaders before taking a rails run to win by two lengths from Searchlight (Shayleigh Ingelse, $2.80 fav) and Miss Adrenalin (Jayden Barrie, $7).

Completing another big day for Ronald Simpson, the Garry Lunn, Dubbotrained Weave That Web ($5.50) tracked the leaders, Beg Me and Dream Lad, then took control in the straight for a one-andthree-quarters length win over Prince Of Tokyo (Daniel Northey, $12) and Fiveash (Ashleigh Stanley, $8) in the 1800 metres Benchmark 58 Handicap.

Local trainer Brett Thompson, after his win with Shadow Shot, brought up a double when Dysnomia (Chelsea Ings, $21) led throughout to beat Ice On Fire (Will Stanley, $5) and Sniper Excels (Shayleigh Ingelse, $5) in the 1000 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Transferred to Bathurst trainer Roy McCabe after two unplaced runs, Savvy Statement (Ashleigh Stanley, $7) travelled fourth and then finished best to win the 1000 metres Maiden Plate by nearly two lengths from London Tycoon, ($2.50 fav) and Cheerful Union (Chelsea

Ings, $8).

Big week for Ronald Simpson followers Followers of Ronald Simpson enjoyed a bonanza week when the talented apprentice rode eight winners over the three meetings at Bathurst, Dubbo and Gulgong, with several at big odds.

Formerly from Brewarrina and now apprenticed to Clint Lundholm at Dubbo, Simpson kicked off with a treble at Bathurst on 6 June with Buster Fontein ($20), Kora Magic ($4.40) and Electric Storm ($51).

Next was Dubbo on 9 June – a double with Starlink ($3.30) and The Mediator ($11), followed

by Gulgong on 11 June, where he scored a treble with Shadow Shot ($18), Dawn County ($3.40) and Weave That Web ($5.50).

The day before Gulgong, Ronald Simpson had his first metropolitan ride at Royal Randwick, on the Clint Lundholm trained Smooth Esprit ($41), and impressed as he weaved through the big field from near last to finish fifth, a length behind the winner, Cliff House.

The final tally for the week was 19 rides for eight winners, two seconds, two thirds and seven unplaced. xxxx Walgett Cup and Bligh Picnics at Mudgee on Saturday, 17 June, and Coonamble Cannonball on Sunday, 18 June.

Polocrosse: uniting Formidable generations golfing duo

Each year Coonabarabran’s North West Equestrian Expo builds camaraderie, leaving many feeling like they have been accepted into a family. And for some, it really is just family.

by GEORGIA SPENCE For sisters Kylie Deshon and Tanya Mulligan, Expo is a chance to pass on their skills and gather generations together.

Both Kylie and Tanya have children competing in Polocrosse, bringing a sense of tradition to the sport. “ It is a great family sport and we have enjoyed s i t t i n g a r o u n d m a ny campfires together over the years,” Kylie said.

Polocrosse has shaped the sisters’ careers, with T a ny a a c h i e v i n g t h e position of captain for the Australian Polocrosse team.

During the 2023 North West Equestrian Expo, Kylie Deshon acted as head steward for Polocrosse, while Tanya managed the team from Mendooran Central School.

Polocrosse is encompassi ng of a l l skill levels and varying disciplines.

A sta r ting point for m a n y, E x p o c r e a t e s ex posu re t o the spor t for pa r ticipa nts who otherwise would not have the opportunity to play Polocrosse.

But for those who are p a s s io n at e a b out t he sport, Expo is a stepping stone to move into elite levels. “ T he team that won Div ision 1 A- Grade Pol o c r o s s e j u s t c a me back from playing in the Australian Junior team,”

Tanya said.

For the Deshons, Expo is a family affair as they all cheer each other on. “ Br i ng i ng fami l ies back each year is t he env i r on ment a nd i n s pi r at i o n t he E x p o creates,” Tanya said. “ It ’s seei ng the

increased confidence in some riders, and seeing everyone help out.”

B oth sisters said they believe North West Equestrian Expo is a great opportunity to represent Polocrosse and allows for much growth throughout all disciplines.

From a pool of 82 players, dynamic golfing duo Jane McWhirter and Michelle Johnston took out the Open Foursomes Championship at the North and North Western District Ladies Golf Association annual tournament, held in Gunnedah on Thursday, 8 June.

North West Equestrian Expo ropes in success

by JIMMY WHALAN

Competitors at the 2023 North West Equestrian Expo were met with more dust than mud this year, with mostly clear weather throughout the 31st year of the event.

The annual competition ran from Friday, June 2 to Tuesday, June 6, with 500 competitors from over 70 schools making their annual trip to Coonabarabran for the largest interschool high school equestrian event in Australia.

North West Equestrian Expo secretary, Rebecca Moxham said this year’s event was capped at 500 riders to ensure everything ran smoothly and the grounds were not too crowded.

Despite the limitations, Mrs Moxham said the event remained the biggest of its kind in Australia.

“One of the highlights of this year’s Expo was the polocrosse final on Sunday evening, which was a hit for spectators and riders alike.

“The final was ultimately won by three riders from Kinross Wolaroi School, in Orange, who previously took out the competition in 2022 and have also represented Australia in Polocrosse.

“Another crowning moment came when riders from Scots All Saints College in Bathurst won the Eventing trophy, defending their two year title.”

However, Ms Moxham said the most popular event was the Working Horse Challenge, which attracted about 300 competitors and was won by Georgia Maben, Scone Grammar School.

Georgia went on to win the Highest Individual Point Score at Expo's final presentation on Tuesday.

Scone Grammar School rider Georgia Maben, pictured with Larry Tolmie, claimed the Coonabarabran High School Perpetual Trophy for the Highest Individual Point Score.

Alex Letts, Coonabarabran High School, won her Eventing 65 division with a young, family-bred horse that she had trained specifically for the event.

The win was made even more special as it was Alex's final year competing at Expo.

Mrs Moxham commended Alex for her efforts in training the horse herself for such a high-standard event.

Alex said she was especially proud of her horse, Lucille.

“She was home-bred from a young mare I rode when I was younger.

“My dad and my brother broke her in and, since then, she’s been my project horse, which has been a great outlet throughout Year 12.

“She’s only four, but she handled the busy atmosphere as if she was 10 years older.”

Alex said she had been fortunate to grow up on horses that her

family had trained and made into good horses.

“I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to learn how to make Lucille into a good horse, and it was lovely to finish my Expo days on a win.”

Another Coonabarabran rider, Hannah Evans, representing Calrossy Anglican School, placed third in Combined Training with her horse, Duchess.

Alex and Hannah are daughters of former Expo competitors, Ren Letts and Lucy Evans, and have become part of a horse-riding legacy passed down from parents to children.

Mrs Moxham said the organising committee was happy with the way the event went this year, chalking it down as another successful North West Equestrian Expo.“I would like to give my compliments to the riders on another successful event, the

standard seems to be improving every year.”

Mrs Moxham extended her thanks to the 12 members of the committee from Coonabarabran Pony Club, Coonabarabran High School (CHS), Warrumbungle Eventing, and the Showground Trust, who all help make the event possible each year.

“Volunteers are the backbone of Expo, with head stewards from the community running the different events and local groups like Rotary, who help fuel riders and volunteers with their delicious meals throughout the day.”

Mrs Moxham also thanked the Coonabarabran VRA for the provision of paramedic services, CHS for its printing and secretarial services, as well as Year 11 students who helped with cleaning up the grounds, for which they were rewarded with a donation towards their graduation formal.

North West shooters off to the world titles Manilla pistol champion Tim Davey has the concentration, nerves and steady hand to cope with the demands of top level competition, but admits he is a little apprehensive about a forthcoming plane trip.

Tim has never boarded an aircraft before but will set off soon with two Australian Big Bore category team mates for a long international flight to contest the world pistol championships in Hungary.

The team of three, Tim, Glen Anderson, Inverell, and Jason Anderson, Narrabri, will compete in the International Metallic Silhouette Shooting Union (IMSSU) and European Metallic Silhouette Shooting Association (AETSM) championships at Jászberén, a town in central Hungary, 60 km from the capital, Budapest.

North West NSW is well represented by marksmen from the three towns, including team coach David Dewsbury, Narrabri, who accompanies the team to Hungary.

They are all good mates, apart from being team mates for the world titles.

They will compete against the world’s best silhouette pistol shooters from some 30 countries - and according to their coach Dewsbury, have every chance of bringing home the medals.

The national representatives in the larger Australian contingent, who will contest Small Bore and Field Pistol categories, are all multi-championship winners at top competition levels.

There are three categories in the silhouette titles. A Field Pistol team will be selected from the Big Bore and Small Bore competitors in Hungary.

Meanwhile, Davey’s team mates are seasoned air travellers and no doubt ready with reassurance in the unlikely event he needs it.

Coach Dewsbury, is a veteran shooter and championship winner in his own right. Apart from his official job as coach, Dave’s role navigating through foreign airports will be valuable - he has

Jason Anderson, Narrabri, left, with coach for the Australian team, Narrabri’s David Dewsbury. travelled widely and competed at a range of national and international titles over his career including championship shoots in Hungary.

Jason Anderson fired his first shot at the Narrabri pistol range when he was 16.

He won the state title as a junior champion in 1986.

“That’s a long time ago,” he laughs.

To be considered for selection in the Australian team, shooters must accumulate a high aggregate of points won at a mix of national and state titles.

The preparations for the Australian team to travel overseas are complex, with layers of export protocols and forms to be completed to take their weapons and ammunition abroad.

They will take their own custom modified pistols, and ammunition meticulously loaded to their specifications.

“The Australian team is regarded as one of the best competing in Hungary so we’re really hoping to bring home some gold,” said Jason.

Mungindi farmer, Nuffield Scholar to explore sustainable intensification Tim Houston broke the drought when he returned to the family farm in Mungindi in late 2019 after studying for a Bachelor of Business in farm management at Marcus Oldham College in Victoria.

Mr Houston is among a growing cohort of Nuffield Scholars who are completing the 14-week program, which offers an opportunity to travel the world purposefully and meet a diverse range of people in food and fibre production.

The Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) and Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) are two of more than 20 organisations that sponsor the Nuffield Australia Farming Scholarship program to support the development of agricultural leaders to identify, share and implement new knowledge, management skills and farming practices.

The scholarship is opportunity for Australian primary producers to identify a topic for research relevant to them and the broader industry, and then travel to study in Australia and internationally.

Mr Houston and his parents Rob and Sally operate Sandholes Farming, consisting of 14,000

hectares of grain and dryland cotton cropping and Brangus cattle breeding.

Before Mr Houston returned home there had been a run of dry years in the North West.

“In 2019, we received 90 millimetres for the whole year. It looked like Mars here,” Mr Houston said.

That seems like a distant memory now. Like many growers in the region, Mr Houston spent spring last year moving cattle to higher ground, shifting grain and getting roads as ready as possible before the inevitable double-hit of floodwater and rain.

“For the past 18 months, we’ve faced flooding, on and off. It has meant that on our low country we had no crops in 2022 or 2021.

However, in 2021, the country that wasn’t flooded did really well, so we made up a bit there.

In terms of getting grain in and out, we were lucky that year. We had a break during harvest, and we weren’t too wet, which meant grain got back to our silos,” he said.

Making better use of the land – socially, environmentally and economically – is a topic that the family is keen on and one that Mr

Tim Houston plans to use his newly awarded Nuffield Scholarship to study land transition to make better use of the land. Photo: Mel Jenson Houston will investigate as part of his recently awarded Nuffield Scholarship, supported by CRDC

YOUR PARTNER IN PRECISION AGRICULTURE Vantage NSW specialises in integrating agronomy, hardware, software and services to improve productivity and profitability to service the increasing complexity of farming operations.

and Cotton Australia.

About 65 per cent of Sandholes’ farming operation is usually cropped, with mostly native pasture grazing making up the remaining 35 per cent.

On some of Sandholes’ Queensland farmland, Tim is hoping to explore a soil improvement process that rotates between cropping and improved pasture phases.

Through this process, Mr Houston wants to explore what benefits it brings to soil carbon levels.

“We plan to test our soil and get a baseline reading and then test it again in the future to see if there has been any increase.”

With these land-use options in mind, Mr Houston is very keen to find out how other countries have managed the concept of sustainable land intensification - growing more with existing land.

“The Global Biodiversity Framework covers sustainable intensification, and I want to explore how farmers across the world are navigating this. I hope to bring this information back to

Australia,” he said.

“I’m not sure how you keep everyone happy. This is what my research is aiming to find out. I want to find a way forward where we can deliver positive social, economic and environmental outcomes. I would like to investigate how other countries are sustainably intensifying their land, to see the new techniques and the ways they are doing it to give the best outcome possible."

As well as his interest in soil carbon, Mr Houston believes food production needs to be increased.

“More than a decade ago, the United Nations stated that world food production would have to double by 2050 to keep pace with global population growth.

I believe Australian agriculture has both an opportunity and a responsibility to meet future demand. The question is how we do this, while balancing social, economic and environmental needs,” he said.

Applications for the 2024 Nuffield Scholarship closed earlier in June.

We are very lucky to have the people we have in our business who treat each job and customer with the detail required to be successful in our field.

“Australia is well placed with our teams for the world championships,” adds coach Dewsbury.

“Our shooters will be focussed and motivated and they will do well.”

Team manager Judy Harding will travel with the group.

Apart from the range of skills and talent needed to be successful at the sport, the critical element for pistol shooters in top competition is the ability to maintain sustained concentration and the right mental attitude, Dave emphasised.

“It’s very much a mental game - some say that’s 80 percent of it,” adds Jason.

“Coming up to what might look like a perfect score you can’t think about it too much, just take it one shot at a time and not get too far ahead of yourself, don’t think about winning - that can actually put you off.

“In silhouette competition we shoot 40 targets, depicting four different animals - you have to hit the target and knock it over to score a point.

“For big bore competition, the range can go out to 200 metres, and you shoot with iron sights, no ‘scopes, so there is a degree of difficulty.”

The Australian team members are very conscious and proud that when they ‘pull on the green and gold’ they are representing

Australia as well as their national association, Pistol Australia, and their clubs, added Jason.

“And after the championships in Hungary, it’s back to competition and enjoying the sport - and trying to qualify for next year’s world championships in South Africa.”

Narrabri Pistol Club has been the training ground for many successful competition shooters from Narrabri and the region, who have gone on the win major titles.

The Narrabri range is recognised as one of the best pistol ranges in regional and metropolitan Australia.

The club has regularly invested in its facilities and has plans for further development.

Steel animal silhouettes of various species and sizes are the targets up to 200 metres away.

Concerns for ‘future of local government’ Mayors and councillors from across regional NSW have come out fighting after accusations of being “incompetent and not worthy of the money they are paid to serve their communities” in a recent speech delivered by new Local Government Minister Ron Hoenig during question time in State Parliament.

Chair of the Country Mayors’ Association, Gunnedah Mayor Jamie Chaffey, said this ‘iron-fisted approach’ has many wondering “is there a future for local government in NSW?” “Serving as an elected member of a regional community is both a challenging and rewarding task, but it is in no way financially lucrative,” Cr Chaffey said.

“Councillors stand up for their communities because they have a passion for the communities they live in.

“They want a future full of opportunity for the youth of their communities, and they want their community’s dreams and aspirations to come true.

There are many factors that have contributed to the current financial stress in Local Government.

The least of them is incompetence by those who serve.

The Country Mayors’ Association says some of the most significant factors are cost shifting from the State to Local Government by successive governments.

• An out-of-touch annual rate review system that does not keep pace with inflation and cost of living increases • A need for many regional councils to provide for services that would normally be provided by state or federal governments, like child care, aged care, accommodation for police, nurses,

• An out-of-touch annual rate review system • Cost shifting to councils • Out-of-control cost increases in annual audit costs • Election costs are becoming out of reach for many rural councils • All funding programs are on hold by the new state government. ambulance, emergency services • Out-of-control cost increases in annual audit costs for many • Election costs are becoming out of reach for many rural councils • All funding programs are on hold by the new state government.

According to CMA, the 2021 NSW Local Government elections resulted in a high number of councils not receiving adequate nominations to hold an election.

Councillors aged between 60 and 69 make up the largest number serving in NSW, closely followed by 50 to 59 years of age.

“This cannot change without respect, recognition and

collaboration by the state government,” chairman Chaffey said.

“Minister Hoenig’s outburst against local government elected members in NSW has left us all feeling frightened for the future of Local Government in NSW. “The CMA stands firm in its pursuit of equity of service provision for the residents of our communities. We stand united with our members to advocate for residents who choose to call regional NSW home.

“We will continue to work with both state and Commonwealth governments to achieve the best quality of life and provision of services for our residents.

Country Mayors’ Association chair Cr Jamie Chaffey.

“And on behalf of the CMA executive, I have a simple message for our members - you are appreciated, and you do deserve respect for serving your community.
