Funding secured for street festival Warrumbungle Shire Council has secured $150,000 in funding from the NSW Government’s Open Streets Program to support the hosting of two street festivals. exciting activities, and encourages everyone to get involved and create a vibrant and connected community in both Coonabarabran and Coolah.

Cr Doolan emphasised the importance of streets as critical public spaces that support local businesses, community connections, and overall well-being.

“We want people to get out into their local neighbourhood and enjoy local goods, services, and activities,” he said.

Minister for Roads, Arts, Music and the NightTime Economy, Jobs and Tourism John Graham said he was excited to support these events in Coonabarabran and Coolah.

“Too often our main streets are something we drive through, rather than drive to. Our streets are a cr itical par t of our public and social infrastructure. Great streets make great towns and centres and reflect the local community and culture,” Mr Graham said.

“The Open Streets program is about temporarily transforming our main streets into vibrant and welcoming public event spaces.

“The colour and diversity of these 130 events celebrates the unique personality of each town or suburb. This is what our vibrancy agenda is all about, backing locals to create events and entertainment that works for their local community.”

The grant will support the temporary closure of s t reet s i n Coonaba rab ran and Coo l ah, transforming them into vibrant community hubs for two exciting street festivals.

The Open Streets Program aims to invigorate local streets by hosting events and activities on vehicle-free days, fostering thriving local economies and enhancing communit y connections.

I n Co o n a b a ra b ra n , t h e “ B l o o m i n’ B i rd s S p r i n g F e s t ” w i l l b e h e l d o n S a t u rd a y, 21 September, celebrating the arrival of spring with a vibrant festival featuring light projections, creative activities, delicious food stalls, local art and captivating music along Dalgarno Street.

On Saturday, 7 December, Coolah will host a “Christmas Carnival and Parade”, ringing in the festive season with a joyous Christmas parade, dazzling lights, festive markets, carols and familyfriendly activities.

“We are excited to collaborate with local businesses, artists, music groups, community groups, and residents to develop a program for each festival that reflects the unique character of Coonabarabran and Coolah. Expressions of interest will be open soon,” Warrumbunle Shire Council mayor, Cr Ambrose Doolan said.

Council will share more information about each festival in coming weeks, including locations and

Visualistion of Bloomin’ Birds SpringFest, to be held in Coonabarabran in September.

Mayor bows out – “it’s time to give someone else a go” When the Local Government elections roll out this September, Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor, Cr Ambrose Doolan will not be among the candidates. The Coonabarabran Times sat down with Ambrose to reminince about his time at the helm.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY After four years as a Council representative, Cr Doolan sa id he hadn’t planned to run for mayor, but agreed to consider it following a request from his fellow councillors. He was duly elected to the position and commenced his first term as mayor of the Warrumbungle Shire Council in 2020.

Cr Doolan recalled his first Council meeting as a memorable one.

“One of the councillors wanted to d iscuss something that wasn’t in the business paper, but that can only happen if the mayor, as ‘chairman’ of the meeting, deems it to be an item of ‘great urgency ’,” Cr Doolan said. “ So the general ma nager asked me, ‘so Mr Mayor, do you deem it an item of great urgency?’ And I looked up and everyone was looking at me, waiting for an answer. It was then I thought that it was a bit tougher sitting up front.”

Over time, Cr Doolan realised that there was lot more time and effort required by the role than he initially realised.

He prefeaced that it wasn’t a complaint when

he said, “a lot of the time I have to catch up on the farm work on weekends, wh ic h h a s i mpac t e d me being able to get to friends’ birthdays and other celebrations – and I haven’t hit a golf ball in four years!”

However, Cr Doolan explained the support network that supported his shift into the mayor’s seat has rema i ned strong. “ You c a n’t get big things done by yourself i n C ounci l, but by working with your fellow councillors, the general manager, his team and t h e c o m mu n i t y, b i g things can happen.”

He a l s o ex pl a i ne d that it was this support network that had allowed him to carry out the role alongside his farm enterprise.

“I could only carry out the role because of the wonderful support that I’ve received from my wife Lisa and everyone at ‘ To or awa nd i’ i n keeping things going when Council business has me away from the farm.”

T he work however, has reaped rewards, and Cr Doolan can recall several highlights, one of which was the Long Tan commemoration in Coolah last August.

“ Ve t e r a n s o f t h e Sixth Royal Australian Regiment had gathered in Coolah to mark the d ay a nd honou r t he sacrifice of a local man who was killed in the battle,” he said.

“A f t er a lo vely c er emony i n C o ol a h we we nt o ut t o t h e sportsground for a long lunch, with the highlight bei ng a r ousi ng a nd hilarious speech by the fo r me r c om m a nd i n g officer.

“In a similar vein, the dedication of a headstone on the grave of ANZAC digger Thomas Howlett was another memorable day I exper ienced as mayor.

“It was the smallest grant that Council had applied for, but it meant s o much t o s o ma ny people, and it’s one of the things that pleases me the most to look back on.”

Overall, Cr Doolan said he had thoroughly enjoyed his time as mayor.

“But now it’s time to give someone else a go,” he said. “ I was raised to understand that we all have such a bright future because men like Thomas Howlett risked everything to give it to us, and I’ve tried to conduct myself in a manner that benefits that.”

Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor, Cr Ambrose Doolan, will not contest the local government election in September, saying “it’s time to give someone else a go.”

Breaking boxes at Women in Media

Coonabarabran Times editor, Kait Britton, was one of 10 women from across regional, rural and remote NSW selected to attend a special Women in Media event, held in Sydney on Friday, 9 August.

The oppo r tun it y to a t te n d t h e n a t i o n a l conference was made possible by generous support of Women NSW and Jodie Har rison, M i n i s te r fo r Wo m e n , Minister for Seniors, and Minister for Prevention of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.

Ka it wa s j o i ned by Lucie Pear t, editor of Gilgandra Weekly and Lee O’Connor, from the Coonamble Times, with travel, accommodation and ticket costs covered by the sponsorship.

“Women working in media outside of major centres play such an essential role in thei r communities, ensuring we all benefit from a vib rant media secto r which reaches across the countr y,” Women in Media NSW Co Convenors LJ Loch said.

“Often working in very s m a l l tea m s o r eve n a l o n e, th ese wo m en p rovide i nva l uab l e perspectives in telling stories which wouldn’t otherwise be told.

“The opportunity to be part of Women in Media’s National Conference will provide a much-needed boost professionally and psychologically.”

The annual national

conference is the largest g at h e r i n g of wo m e n media professionals in the country.

Attracting more than 450 women to its 2024 event, Women in Media is heralded for its inclusivity, high calibre speakers, honest discussion and new ideas.

“I actually introduced myself and shook M s Buttrose’s hand - who even am I?” Kait said.

“If I hadn’t been at that conference with all those amazing, inspiring women, I would have never built up the courage to introduce myself.

“Now I’m just kicking myself I didn’t have a wattle magazine on had to gift to her! Next time...”

‘Outstanding Award’ for Coona High The Coonabarabran High School Ag Skills Day has been running for 33 years, allowing students to experience a range of disciplines within an industry that has been the pride of our country for years, and this year, the event has been recognised with the ‘NSW Secretary’s Award for an Outstanding School Initiative.’

by ELEANOR RAPLEY Ag Skills Day began as a collaboration between Coonabarabran High School agriculture teachers and the local Rotary Club, when they recognised a disconnect between the school’s ag program and the wide range of career opportunities in the agricultural sector.

Initially, the day was targeted at Coonabarabran High School students, but has now flourished to include several nearby schools.

Over the years, the program has also developed links with major agricultural education facilities such as the University of New England, local government, volunteer groups such as the Rural Fire Service, and rural businesses.

Ag Skills Day is first offered to students in Year 8, and again in Years 11 and 12 for Primary Industry and Agriculture students.

Over the course of a single day, students take part in 10 workshops, each lasting 30 minutes, covering disciplines such as animal husbandry, shearing, soil testing, mud brick making, welding, and more.

This year’s Ag Skills Day, held on Thursday, 8 August, featured 13 workshops including both

new additions and the return of some that had not been offered in recent years, such as rural photography, renewable energy, quad-bike safety, and firearm safety.

The success of Ag Skills Day has now been recognised, with the school presented with a prestigious award for “Outstanding School Iniative”, showcasing the efforts of its organisers – Michelle Webb, Elizabeth Hawkins, and Kelly Nash, the original coordinator who recently relocated.

Michelle Webb and relieving principal Duncan Graham represented the school in Sydney on 5 August, where they were presented with the award by the Minister for Education and the Department Secretary.

Ms Webb expressed that winning the Outstanding School Initiative was a significant honour, given the large number of public schools in NSW. Mr Graham highlighted that the recognition “speaks volumes for the educational value of the Ag Skills Day for our students” and credited the organising committee for their efforts.

Both Ms Webb and Mr Graham emphasised that the success of the event was largely due to the presenters and that, at its core, it remains a community-driven event.

Bugaldie budgie bags national trophy A locally-bred budgerigar has flown off with a prestigious award in the hotly-contested field of budgie showing at the Australian national championships.

by LIZ CUTTS Robyn Cosgrove, resident of the small village of Bugaldie, admits she was feeling pretty chirpy after her male budgerigar ‘Tassie’, took out the first prize in the Spangle AOSV (All Other Standard Varieties) at the Australian National Budgerigar Council’s (ANBC) Championship Show held in Launceston, Tasmania, on the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, 25-26 May. Robyn’s entry was one of many elite budgerigars to be boxed and sent to the apple isle to compete against 600 entries flown in from throughout Australia in what breeders consider to be their national logies.

“My bucket list is complete; I only ever wanted to get a bird to the nationals, not win it, but I am overjoyed that Tassie won his section,” Robyn said.

“All the money that we’ve outlaid in feed, supplies and veterinary items has all been worth it. If I never win anything else, I’ve got it, I’ve made it!”

Robyn said her hobby started by accident and now she and her husband, Bob, currently own more than 300 birds.

“When we bought our first budgie back in 1996, I thought there was something wrong with it because it had this big, feathered head,” she explained.

“We took the bird back to the breeder to find it was actually the smallest-headed bird, all his other birds had magnificent heads and feathers. We then realised that it was a show budgie, quite different from the usual little bush budgerigar.

“That’s where it started – I bought a pair from the breeder and a breeding cabinet. It went from there to an addiction!”

It has taken Robyn almost 30 years of selective breeding to win at the nationals.

Preparing budgerigars for showing is serious business for those vying for a place on the state team. Robyn said it’s not just a case of the fluffiest head, the brightest colours and the best markings, a prize-

winning budgie cannot be a champion unless it presents properly.

Showy “You almost have to train them to perch correctly in their show box,” she said.

“It has to stand nicely and present as a showy bird. The judge looks to make sure it has all its tail and wing feathers and all its toenails. If it has lost a toenail, it is disqualified – the competition rules are tough!

“When I am preparing for competition, I put my show birds in their presentation boxes for half an hour every third day to start with so that I can see the ones that will not sit up on the perch.

“I’ve had a couple that really don’t like the box and they sit on the floor. They will never be show birds, but used for breeding.

“As it gets closer to the judging date, I put the birds into a different box for an hour a day; sometimes I spend three or four hours a day doing this. Many people think you pluck them out of the aviary, put them in a box and that’s it!”

Tassie impressed the judges to win the Australian National Budgerigar Championships in his Spangle AOSV class.

According to ANBC, trends in what constitutes a prize-winning bird have changed over the years from birds that more closely resembled the wild budgie of the 30s, to a bird with a dramatic feathered crown in 2023.

Tassie is certainly no ordinary Australian bush budgerigar – he is a popular mutation of the Spangle variety known for their unique eye-catching patterns.

They are distinguishable by a clear yellow or white tail.

The specific Spangle variants are characterised by retaining full black spots, unbroken violet or grey cheek patches, and strong, uniform body colour. Initially, fanciers had used the term ‘spangley’ to describe the birds.

Kathy Manton, judge and publicity officer for the Budgerigar Society of NSW, said judges look for overall outline, condition and deportment, including size, which accounts for 60 points out of 100.

“The remaining 40 points, in the case of a Spangle, are shared between colour and markings,” Ms Manton said.

“Robyn’s bird is a combination bird, that is, it’s a Spangle and an Opaline, a combination of two varieties.

Standard “We judge to a written ‘standard’ and all judges are required to learn and understand it and the features of all the budgerigar varieties. The top three birds selected in each variety from each state and zone are

judged a week later at the National Show.

“Robyn’s bird showed well. Opaline light green, a big, long, strong bird with a lovely top end and a nice face with good directional feather and mask.

“How exciting this win is for Robyn and her bird looked his very best on the day when it really mattered!”

Following the win at the nationals, Robyn was offered $3000 for Tassie, which she turned down.

“I knocked back the money for him because selling him was never my aim,” she added.

“My satisfaction will be seeing his progeny on the show bench. I get more of a kick out of that than getting money for them...it’s a passion!

“Tassie went on to win another championship

trophy in his class in June at the New England Budgerigar Club Show. I just wanted to give him one last normal showing and also a lot of people like to see why the birds won at the Nationals.

“Craig Buckingham, one of the judges in Tasmania, told me that Tassie had lost weight, but he was still a beautiful bird. There were 150 competing in Tamworth and he still got champion young bird.

“Now, Tassie has gone into a happy retirement and I am happy that he is already breeding. He has sisters, brothers, cousins, nieces and nephews, so his progeny lines are established for the future.

“He is such a beautiful bird –I think I am very lucky.”

Robyn and Bob Cosgrove are delighted with their winning trophy.

Water main failures WORD for WORD disrupt residents The south-eastern area of Coonabarabran recently faced significant disruptions due to a series of water main failures, affecting residents and local infrastructure.

Wa r r umbu ngle Shire Council has been working diligently to address these issues, which first came to light late last month.

The initial incident o ccu r red on Su nday, 28 July, when a major water main near the i ntersection of the Newel l H ighway and Edwards Street failed around 8.30pm.

T he failure was quickly reported to the Council through their a f t er -hou r s s er v i c e , prompting an emergency response team to take immediate action.

Council staff worked tirelessly through the night, from 9pm to 7am,

to restore water services to affected customers.

T h is water-ma in failure had a cascading ef fect on the loca l water supply network, particularly impacting a water rising main that serves Nandi Street from the town reservoirs.

T he d i s r upt ion i n pressu re led t o a i r ac cu mu lat i ng i n the water mains, causing add itiona l brea ks i n Nandi Street over the next few days.

Between Monday, 29 July, and Wednesday, 31 July, a total of four water main breaks occurred in this area, necessitating further repairs.

Leeanne Ryan,

C ou n c i l ’s d i r e c t or o f env i r on ment a nd development services, said all air was eventually flushed from the system, restoring stability to the network.

The issues first came to the attention of the Warrumbungle Shire Council on Wednesday, 24 July, when a minor water leak was detected.

However, i m med i at e repairs were delayed due to the complexity of the situation.

The leak was located on the Newell Highway, necessitating extensive traffic control measures that would have d isr upted school bus operations during the

week.

Additionally, add r e s s i n g t he le a k wou ld have requ i red shutting off water to both C o on aba rabra n P ubl ic S chool a nd Coonaba rabran High School.

Repairs were initially scheduled for Saturday, 3 August, but the water main failed before these works could be carried out.

The primary cause of the water main failure at the Newell Highway and George Street intersection is believed to be the shallow depth of the pipeline.

Residents in a number of Coonabarabran streets have been impacted by water main breaks and outages.

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? I don’t rea l ly have one. My name was shortened when I was a baby by my grandma and it has stayed with me ever since.

How d id you come to l i ve i n Coonabarabran? I was born here, but moved away briefly in my 20s.

Where would people recognise your face from? Australia Post.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

Zookeeper.

What ’s t he most inte rest ing job you’ve ever had? Raising my kids.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? After feeding animals, lighting the fire and cooking tea, I like to sit down with a cup of hot choc and watch some trashy TV. How would your family and friends describe you in three words? Moody, cranky, vague.

What are your favourite places to visit on a road trip? Markets and gardens.

If you had an animal or plant renamed in your honour, what would you want to carry your name? There is already a variety of camelia called “Susie”.

It is a beautiful, rich red colour. Mum has it in her garden.

What’s one totally irrational fear that you have? Horses (it doesn’t make a lot of sense as I am regularly around them) and snakes.

Do you have a favourite community event or group? My sister and I helped out at the community Christmas lunch last year and it was a great thing to do leading up to Christmas Day. Best thing about living in Coonabarabran? Probably knowing so many people.

If you could have any superpower what would it be? As a kid I wanted to be Samantha from Bewitched.

Have you read any good books or watched any good movies lately? I would rather read a book than watch a movie. I enjoyed Lee Child and the Bridgerton series.

What are the top three items on your bucket list? See the Northern Lights, sail along the Nile, visit Machu Picchu.

If you could pick a decade to visit in a time machine, what would it be? I would like to live like a Bridgerton just a couple of days. The clothes, the hair styles! Or go back to the twenties for much the same reasons.

If you could have anyone around for dinner who would it be and what would you cook? Probably my father so he can meet his grandchildren.

I’m not a fan of cooking, but I would make homemade chicken schnitzels.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? Travelling with my friend – it was one of those “had to be there” moments.

SUSIE BUNTING

Hearty Welcome connects new residents The second Hearty Welcome to Coonabarabran, organised by the 2357 Development Group Inc, was held in the Town Hall on Sunday, 11 August, with a pleasing number of new residents attending to meet the locals and to get to know what our lovely community has to offer.

Representatives from numerous organisations set up their displays all over the hall, with plenty of room bet ween for people to wander and ask questions. It was a very colourful sight.

The first such event was held 12 months ago and came out of the ‘Building Our Warrumbungle Communities’ project, which occurred in 2020. At the dozen or so workshops held throughout the Sh i re the re we re reg u la r requests for oppor tunities for newcome r s to f ind out what h a p p e n s i n t h e i r n ew h o m e town.

A selection of delicious soups and bread rolls was served by the committee that provides the Ch r i stmas day l uncheon i n t h e Tow n H a l l e a ch ye a r.

Supplemented by tea and coffee and plenty of cake, noone went hungry.

Highlights of the day included pe r fo r mances by t wo new g roups i n tow n – the Coona Community Choir, which sang t h re e i te m s, a n d t h e n s o m e of the Mus ta D ance g roup provided a demonstration in line dancing.

WEATHER WATCH The recent arrival of a sudden stratospheric warming (SSW ) over the Antarctica region will certainly have a strong impact upon our weather in the coming months.

These so called SSW events have been very rare in the last 55 years – only twice before, in 2002 and again in 2019.

T he 2 019 event led to drought, h i g h t emp e r at u r e s , widespread bush fires and trag ic loss of homes.

Carnarvon, in We s t e r n A u s t r a l i a , has had badly needed rainfall during June and July after a very d r y 21 months in which only 53mms was recorded; the annual

average at Carnarvon is 159mms.

In June, 104.4mms was recorded followed, by 62mms in July – a total of 166mms for the two months.

Other very wet June and July periods recorded at Carnarvon were i n 18 9 7, 19 0 7, 1951, 1965 and 1996.

These past cases did lead to a high frequency of ver y hot d ay s i n our reg ion from late October right through to early February.

Coonabarabran’s birds Thank goodness that birds can fly because, if they hadn’t, there was every possibility that most of them would have been wiped out by European feral predators. Humans,, with their propensity for knocking trees and clearing vegetation for development, farming and grazing, have also contributed to the demise of birds that depended on specialised vegetation communities for their survival.

My backyard comes alive every day because I make food available for the local bird population.

I know that I am not the only person who feeds the birds, because they can be seen flying from yard to yard checking the quantity and quality of the food before supping. It is a beautiful sight to see them feeding, squabbling and screeching in happy bedlam, being able to fly away to their tree in total freedom. They must supplement this humanprovided diet because they are all appear to be fit and healthy looking.

The parrots – King, Red Wing, Rosellas both Crimson and Eastern, Red Rumps, Little Lorikeets – all feed together, each trying to dominate the food queues. They are sometimes attended

by Topknot Pigeons, Mudlarks, Galahs and the jumbos – the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo, who scares the feathers off all.

They all clear out until I bombard the Cockies with empty aluminium cans.

Sparrows and Blackbirds compete for different reasons and we are honoured now and then by the visits of Eastern Spinebills, Thornbills, White Eyes, Double Bars and Diamond Firetails. What more could you ask for in a backyard and this occurs in most urban area of the range where people are friendly with the feathered flocks.

Similar to the marsupials, the most intelligent birds are the ones that fair the best. Some are so good that they come to the door or window to let you know there is no food in the bowls. The smaller birds such as Blue Wrens and White Cheeked Honeyeaters do this when they realise there is no threat.

I have no conscience about feeding these birds in this manner. Humans have cleared most of their open woodland habitat, thus removing their food sources, so why can’t we replace some of it for them?

The Blue Faced Honeyeater is a most

raucous bird that also displays some unusual characteristics. With the Choughs in the range, they are a gregarious, social bird with strong family instincts. I observed a Blue Faced Honeyeater chicken fall out of its nest from a tree on the footpath, squawking and squealing as it hit the ground. He worked his way out into the middle of the street pavement where he was eventually surrounded by about 20 adult birds who had gathered to express their collective concern and encourage him to fly. However, he couldn’t, because he was not strong enough.

I picked him up and took him (or her) inside my yard to place him in a safer tree, followed by a mob of very angry senior birds. When he had settled on a limb, the elders took it in turn to feed him, which he gratefully accepted.

Over the next few days, I watched this maternal bird attitude with interest, the encouragement to fly eventually becoming successful. There didn’t appear to be any evidence of specific parents, which is the situation with some birds. It was a collective effort by a large number of volunteer parents for the benefit of one, or

maybe he was a royal bird.

This same situation occurs with Choughs and Apostle birds, though the collective effort is usually delivered to the chicken in the mud bowled nests.

With some birds, one can tell the season and nearly the date when they arrive in the range.

The Currawongs, with their alto tenor voices, arrive on time in spring, and the Koel’s mournful call is heard in early November. The Honeyeaters arrive when the Bottlebrushes and Grevilleas flower in late October, announced by the Noisy Friarbirds ‘rocketty rackety’.

When carrying out the Shire Council’s vegetation survey in 1999, I located a community of Sheoaks, Casuarina distyla and Casuarina littoralis on the range ridgeline on Brook’s Road. The cones were fully developed and to identify the species I stopped to identify them. When the motor was turned off the silence was interrupted by the screeching and cackling of Glossy Black Cockatoos. Up until that time, I had only seen isolated pairs while motoring at high speed and to see about 20 in one patch was wonderful.

The NPWS advised

that there were many groups throughout the Pilliga Scrub and all that was needed to observe them was patience and knowledge of their food needs. I eventually observed many groups throughout the range area, learning to know their typically slow flapping method of flight.

Wedge Tailed Eagles are also another of the range’s unique birds, particularly when in a playful mood.

Performing his paternal duty, I observed a male Emu tending five chickens, aimlessly strolling through the scrub, grazing on ground seeds when, suddenly, they were dive bombed by a large Wedgie. I do not know if I imagined it, but there appeared to be a grin on his face.

As the chicks took off helter skelter, the Wedgie continued his straffing attack despite the defensive measures of wing flapping and neck pecking offered by dad emu. This continued for about five minutes, with chicks flipped and flopped everywhere until the Wedgie ran out of ammunition and returned back up to his previous soaring position.

Another time, two teenage Wedgies were cavorting frivolously

over Mopra Rock, when suddenly one of them folded his wings and began a free-falling exercise. His wings became loose, like entering a stall or like a falling feather, and he was attacked by the other Wedgie in a kamikazelike fashion. They continued to perform this stunt with each other until both flopped onto the ground out off control and laughing their heads off.

I have only seen Mallee Fowl crossing a road in the range area on three occasions in the last 50 years. Their nests are few and far between, but have mostly been found in the State Forest and Nature Reserve scrub lands. They are shy and reclusive birds, but strangely build large ground nests that are easily seen. The NPWS has, in the past 20 years, carried out foxbaiting programs near the existing nests and there appears to be a reasonable survival rate, but it is a constant battle against these pests.

Of course, the Magpies are always hanging around, being the most abundant bird in Australia, carrying out their merciless dive bombing to protect their chicks every October.

From school captain to Wallabies’ physio From humble beginnings, Byron Field has evolved into a multi-talented sports professional. Recently, he was offered a prestigious position as one of two physiotherapists for the Wallabies – Australia’s national rugby union team.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY After graduating from Coonabarabran High School in 2001 as captain, Byron went on to study Sports Physiology at the University of Canberra.

I n 2 0 0 3, he was made captain of the ACT under-19s cricket team, competing at the Australian Under19s Championships.

Following his studies, he gained a position as a physiotherapist for the Br umbies Rugby team, where he remained for a few years before t rave l l i ng to Bath, E ng l a nd, w ith his family to take on a three-year contract as a physiotherapist with Bath Rugby.

Now, he’s working for the Wallabies!

“I g rew up loving spor t in Coonaba rab ran...fol lowed the Unicorns and Kookaburras and all the local teams,” Byron said.

After working with elite sporting teams for the better part of 15 years, Byron said working with a national team was an exciting opportunity.

“I’m ver y pr ivi leged, and it’s a really good feeling being able to represent the country and support s o m e ve r y ta l e nte d a t h l ete s a l l around Australia.”

I t ’s a c a r e e r h e’s c e r t a i n l y passionate about, and for him the most rewarding part of the job has been the journey – not only his own, but watching the athletes progress.

“I’ve met people who have spent thei r whole ca reer s tr ying to get to n at i o n a l l eve l s, a n d it’s b een wonder ful being able to suppo r t these people and see them achieve their goals.

“They’re young, too – mostly 20 to 25 – so seeing them do this is great.”

For Byron though, he believes that his “best experience is still to come” with the British and Iron Lions Rugby Team stepping onto Australian shores next year, which only happens once every 12 years.

On top of that, he’s looking towards the World Cup 2027 and working with that team, particularly as it will be played on home soil.

From the World Cup, he hopes that it will help in regenerating country rugby; increasing the accessibility of rugby for kids all around Australia, and hopefully put the game back on the map in Australia.

Byron’s contract with the Wallabies came into effect in June, and will continue until 2026.

Women urged to have their say The Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW wants to gauge the opinions of women across the state on everything from health and childcare to telecommunications and crime, launching a wide-ranging survey that it intends on conducting annually.

T he C WA of N S W Annual Women’s Survey was lau nched at the beg i n n i ng of Aug ust and is open to all women in communities across the st at e, not on ly association members.

“As the peak women’s organisation in the state, we take our advocacy role and responsibilities very seriously so we’re always striving to know what women think on certain issues impacting r u ra l and reg iona l communities, and where their specific concerns lie,” said CWA of NSW president, Joy Beames.

“This is the first time we’ve gone out with a su r vey of th is sca le, and aimed at all women across the state, whether they ’re asso ciation members or not.

“We want to hear from women everywhere, in an effort to ensure we’re capturing the opinions of women of all ages, from all parts of the state, from different cultural a nd socio - economic backgrounds.”

Mrs Beames said the su r vey was desig ned t o pr o v id e v a lu a bl e

insights to help guide the association’s future initiatives, actions and advocacy.

The survey’s focus is on: • c o l l e c t i n g demog raph ic data t o better understand respondents; • insights into memb er pr e fer en c e s and needs related to association services and activities; • understanding local challenges, oppor tunities, and pr ior ities for women as perceived by both member and nonmember respondents; and •encourag ing suggestions of actions a nd i n itiatives the association could undertake to address women’s needs.

Questions cover a multitude of topics i n c l ud i n g a c c e s s t o education and training for women; social issues a ffecting women and obstacles to women’s involvement in decisionmaking processes; safety, hou si ng a nd he a lth ; e c onom ic ch a l lenge s

and oppor tunities; a g r ic u lt u r e a nd t he env ironment; and in f rastr uctu re and telecommunications.

T he sur vey will remain open until 30 October for women who are residing in NSW and are over the age of 18. “ We’re very excited to have launched this survey, which has been in the planning for some time,” Mrs Beams said.

“We look forward to conducting it annually in an effort to gauge just how women across the state view t hei r c om mu n it ie s , the challenges faced, as well as where the opportunities for advancement, improvement and involvement lie. “ By hold ing this survey annually, we see that in years to come we’ll be able to see where things are improving, a nd wher e t he ne e d for f u r ther advo cacy r em a i n s , helpi n g t o accurately target our lobby i ng ef for t s a nd continue improving the lives of NSW women and their communities.”

Proudly supported by his family, former local, Byron Field, has landed a contract with the Wallabies rugby union team as one of two physiotherapists.

Over the Odds CENTRAL & WESTERN RACING by COL HODGES Louth Races Saturday, 10 August Seriously injured earlier this winter when kicked by a horse, Dubbo trainer Connie Greig has bounced back to win the $22,000 Louth Cup on Saturday with the six-year-old black mare, Kalpana.

Kalpana entered the barriers as an $8 chance with most of the 18 bookmakers, with the Rodney Robb, Nyngantrained Notabadidea starting the $3 favourite ahead of Ocean Honour ($3.40), which had won the previous two starts at Gatton and Ipswich in Queensland before being transferred to the Brett Robb stable at Dubbo.

Cobar Cup winner Dancing In The Sky, in front of a huge crowd at the famous NSW outback meeting, led down the straight for the first time in the 2000 metres Cup, with Kalpana settling off the pace in a fast-run race.

Rated amongst the

leading jockeys in the country areas, Mikayla Weir was riding at Louth for the first time and she saved Kalpana for a late run.

In an exciting finish, Kalpana reached the lead over the concluding stages to win by less than a length from Ocean Honour (Georgina McDonnell) and Notabadidea, ridden by Shayleigh Ingelse.

First leg of a winning treble for Connie Greig and a double for Mikayla Weir was Real Salty in the 1000 metres Class 1 Handicap.

After racing outside the leader, Real Salty ($2.80) scored a hardfought win over Kimo (Ken Dunbar, $3.40) and Savvy Statement ($2.80), ridden by Shayleigh Ingelse.

The other winner for Connie Greig was Individualist ($3.40 favourite), which responded to powerful riding by Andrew Banks to wear down stablemate

Chookster (Mikayla Weir, $4.60), and Dhyani (Ken Dunbar, $7), in the 1400 metres Class 2 Handicap.

D u b b o - b a s e d apprentice Shayleigh Ingelse also had a good day, landing a winning double on Cashmere Inn and D’Arpano.

Leading most of the way, the Stephen Dixon, Tamworthtrained Cashmere Inn ($4.60) was a half length winner of the 1000 metres Maiden Plate from Kingzan (Andrew Banks, $17) and Power Of Hope (Ken Dunbar, $3.50 favourite).

Part owned by Chris Davis and John De Lyall, who play prominent roles with Dubbo Turf Club, and trained by Brett Robb, D’Arpano returned to form in the 1200 metres Benchmark 50 Handicap.

Mr Pointer led by three lengths before D’Arpano ($3.20 favourite) swept home from midfield to account for Lenroy

(Andrew Banks, $12) and Distinctive Glory (Billy Cray, $4).

Trained at Dubbo

by Clint Lundholm for Kathryn and Todd Smith, Oojah Capow ($3), well ridden by Wendy Peel, turned for home with a slender lead and fought on gamely to hold out Penique (Billy Cray, $6) by a half head, with the $1.70 favourite Firefinch (Shayleigh Ingelse fading to third in the 1400 metres Maiden Handicap.

Muswellbrook trainer Krissie Simpkins, who had earlier placings with Distinctive Glory and Penique, won the final event, the 1700 metres Benchmark 45, Handicap with Chowdah.

Bursting through the pack, Chowdah (Billy Cray, $4.60) arrived in time for a close win over Peak Road (Shayleigh Ingelse, $7) and the Victorian-trained Lord Percy (Jessica Brookes, $5).

Karate students progress in their martial arts journey Sixty students from Baradine and Coonabarabran have advanced from white to yellow belt in GoKan-Ryu (GKR) Karate.

GK R fou nder a nd ch ief i nstr uct or, Kancho Robert Sullivan expla i ned the belt journey process and took the students though some new moves. “ T his is their f irst grading; they have been learning some different techniques,” he said.

“Their training focus so far has been on developing basic moves.

Having achieved their yellow belt, they will now be introduced to two important elements of karate training – Kata and Kumite.

“It will take three or four months to progress to the green belt, followed by blue and red belts.

There are then three separate levels of brown belt, finishing with the black belt. The whole journey can take from four to seven years.”

and has been training in and teaching karate since 1964. He spent time learning and teaching in both Japan and the USA before establishing GKR in 1984. His original aim was to build a small karate club, but he soon realised that teaching karate was something that would become his life-long vocation. “ My fascination for karate led me to training in the Japanese style of Goju-Kai,” he explained.

“Over the next decade I spent most of my time studying and learning two of the most pr om i nent Japa ne s e styles of karate, Goju and Keishinkan (Shotokan).

“I initially taught in Broken Hill many years ago and it is great now that it is here in Baradine and Coonabarabran. It certainly seems to have caught on – the response has been wonderful.

“Training for karate keeps me active a nd physically fit. I will be 77 years old later this year, so I am an advocate for karate as a great activity for all ages.

Jets lag, Unicorns out, junior Bombshells prevail At half time in Castlereagh Leagues’ first-grade qualifying semi-final played at Cobar’s Tom Knight Oval last Saturday, the Narromine Jets were staring at a scoreboard that read 30 points to nil against them, after what could be best described as a horror start to the game for the visitors.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE While nothing ought to be taken away from Coba r’s dom i nant display in the opening 40 minutes, it should be acknowledged that the Jets contributed to the Rooste r s’ dom i nation on the scoreboard by way of some wayward passing and kicking that resulted in th ree long range tr ies, al l conver ted, being scored by the red, white and blues.

In terms of scoreboard a c t i v i t y, t h e s e co n d half slowed down s o m ew h at, w it h a n a d d i t i o n a l 12 p o i n t s b e i n g s co re d by t h e home side, i ncl udi ng a fourth try to Cobar’s highly-talented young gun, Reece Josephson, while the Jets managed to break their duck after th ree - qua r ter s of the match had elapsed with a conver ted tr y for a final score of 42 to 6.

If the sad state of the final scoreboard was not enough to exasperate the Jet’s fa ithful, the ill-discipline shown by a couple of their players in the last 10 minutes of the match, resulting in a sin binning and a send off, would have m a d e t h e m n e r vo u s about their prospects of progressing any further in the Castlereagh League finals series.

They l ive to f ight another day, that day being next Sunday when they will be hosting the Gulgong Terriers in the do-or-die minor semifinal at Cale Oval.

T he Te r r ie r s j us t scraped home against a courageous Coonabarabran Unico r ns out f it in the elimination semi -final played at Gulgong on Sunday.

The game exploded in the 25th minute when a

melee erupted, resulting in two Coonabarabran players and one Gulgong player being sent off.

It could be a rgued that the extraction of those three players from the f ield cont r i buted to w h a t wa s a f r e e flowing game for the remaining 55 minutes, with Coonabarabran, in particular, opting to move the ball wide on many an occasion.

In fact, it ended up being a thriller, with the scores being locked up on two occasions and the lead changing four times before the Terriers m a nag ed to j us t g et home 34 to 30.

Over the t wo days, the other grades also produced some great games, not the l eas t of which was the youth league game played at Coba r bet ween Narromine and Binnaway, where extra time was required to get a winner after the two

sides were 8-all at the end of regulation time.

The Bombshells went on to claim a tense 14 to 8 win in extra time to see them advance to the minor semi-final.

A n ot h e r s ta n d - o u t game was the leagueta g f i x t u r e b et w e e n Gulgong and Baradine at Gulgong on Sunday, with the Terriers holding off a late charge from the Magpies to win 16 to 10.

Major semi-final Finals’ action continues this weekend with the unbeaten Co o l a h Ka n g a ro os hosting the Cobar Roosters in the major semi-final at Coolah on Saturday.

After their dominant display against the Jets last Saturday the Rooste r s m ight fancy their prospects of being the first team to ground the ‘Roos, in what should be a hard-fought match i n f ro nt of a b u m p e r crowd.

Minor semi-finals The minor semifinals will be played at Narromine on Sunday, with the f i rst- g rade fixture seeing the Jets up against the Gulgong Terriers.

This will be a real test for both sides and while G u l g o n g w i l l g o i nto the match as last-start winners, they would be wel l a wa re that they only just gained entr y into the game after they were fully stretched by a Coonabarabran outfit that played almost th ree - qua r ter s of the m a tc h w i t h o n e l e s s player than Terriers.

Meanwhile, the Nar romine side will have to regroup after their dismal showing at Cobar last Saturday, a performance that they would be pleased to put behind them.

Gulgong is the only cl u b th at s t i l l h a s a l l four grades playing in the semis, with their youth league side being

u p a g a i n s t Co ba r at Co o l a h o n Sat u rd a y, w h i l e o n S u n d a y, a t Narromine, their reserve grade will be playing the Baradine Magpies and thei r league -tag team tak i ng on the Coolah Flyers.

Apart from the youth league game, the lower-grade action at C o o l a h o n S a t u rd a y will see Binnaway and Gilgandra play in the reser ve grade, and in league tag it will be the undefeated Narromine Jets and the Dunedoo Swannettes taking the field in what will be a replay of the epic 2023 grand final.

AgQuip on track to be biggest yet Visitors are getting in early to secure their tickets for this year’s Aon AgQuip and exhibitors are making final plans for their sites, with a broad range of activities, attractions, launches and seminars on the schedule for the 2024 event.

Ticket sales have been strong since going on sale in July, and exhibitor sites are now at capacity with more than 2500 businesses to be present over the three days.

The AgSmart Connect Hub, highlighting the latest start-ups and agtech innovations, is also taking shape with more than 50 exhibitors confirmed, along with almost a dozen presentations as part of the AgSmart Talks.

Major sponsor Aon says it’s a sign that Australia’s biggest field day continues to maintain its reputation for bringing the latest and best ag products and services to the nation’s farmers.

“Our team is well and truly on the countdown to this year’s event, and are looking forward to meeting both existing and new customers, with key insurance experts joining us on-site, a number of customer functions planned, complimentary insurance health checks for site visitors, and competition prize giveaways equating to more than $8000,” said Tim Trandafilu, national practice leader for agribusiness at Aon. “Aon AgQuip has built an enviable reputation over more than 50 years, and we’re proud to be part of that legacy.”

Kawasaki Motors Australia is the sponsor of the popular motorbike demonstration zone, and is taking the opportunity to launch two all-new side-by-side models: the RIDGE HVAC and MULE PRO-FX, both of which will be put through their paces over the three days.

Key to exhibitors and attendees getting the most out of the event is the parcel pick-up service organisers run each year, this year sponsored by lender Bizcap which is promising fast-tracked business loan applications for Aon AgQuip attendees, making obligation-free conditional offers with no up-front credit checks in as little as three hours.

“So if there’s something you see at the event that you’d like to buy, we can secure you the funds you need in time to make that purchase before you go home,” said co-founder and joint managing director Abraham White.

“Bizcap is thrilled to announce our sponsorship of Aon AgQuip because we're committed to empowering farmers and agricultural businesses at times of exciting growth or financial need.”

The Inspector–General of Water Compliance (IGWC) will also be onsite, providing farmers with the important opportunity to have their say on Basin-wide water resources and how they’re managed.

“Visiting our site will be your chance to share what you’re concerned about as community members of the Murray-Darling

Basin, and my staff who live and work throughout the Basin are all ears,” said Inspector–General of Water Compliance, Troy Grant.

“It’s a great chance to have your say on compliance, water management and the Basin Plan so my office can act on the information you give. People visiting our site can also contribute to shoulder period research for our annual community sentiment survey.”

Education is always a key component of the event, and organisers are conscious of allowing visitors to hear from some of the sharpest minds in the agribusiness world.

Karen Rogers is the Australian Community Media (ACM) agri insights manager and has been leading the agricultural research remit for ACM for more than 27 years. Earlier this year she officially released the results of an inaugural research project exploring the complex relationship between farmer literacy and the adoption of agricultural innovations, and at Aon AgQuip 2024 she’ll be presenting the key findings and outlining the key challenges and opportunities for the industry.

Karen said Harvesting Knowledge: Understanding Farmer Literacy and Adoption of Agri-Innovation in Australia was aimed at revealing the key factors influencing farmers' understanding and uptake of innovations, with hopes the findings will help cultivate a more conducive environ-

ment for the widespread adoption of agri-innovation.

Executive manager for health and agriculture at nbn, Robert Hardie, will be among one of the presenters of the AgSmart Talks, “We’ll be discussing how the nbn network has increased speed and availability of fast broadband internet across Australia, and how it’s forecast to lift Australia’s GDP by a further $399 billion by 2030. I’ll also be outlining the local improvements that are taking place across the New England and North West, including our local fibre upgrades,” Robert said.

INCYT returns to Aon AgQuip, the company specialising in the provision of remote monitoring sensors and trackers that enable farmers to drive increased profitability, improved efficiency and reduce risk.

They’re bringing a specially fit-

ted out trailer showcasing a variety of on-farm solutions and is also hosting guest speaker Simon Blyth, to discuss the current state of agtech in Australia and its future.

“Simon will consider the disparities in opinion between producers and 'the agtech industry', as well as how producers see the agtech industry, and the ‘big and important’ innovations that are next to be rolled out,” said Reinder Prins, INCYT Head of Marketing.

Aon AgQuip 2024 runs from August 20 to 22 and has something for the whole family, with the popular lifestyle pavilion featuring again, alongside activities for the kids and a range of food and beverage suppliers. Tickets are available at www.agquip.com.au and anyone purchasing their tickets before the event will enjoy a 30 per cent discount.

Magic of straw work Opportunity to learn about natural capital illustrated in book From humble beginnings in Breeza 42 years ago, acclaimed straw artist Helen (Bridges) Scott has developed her craft to such an extent that she has now produced her first book to share photos and stories of her award-winning corn dollies and other straw art creations.

Helen’s Harvest Handcrafts will be launched at the Gunnedah Country Markets in Wolseley Park this Saturday and Helen has made the journey across the Nullarbor to meet up with old friends and market her book at the Namoi Group CWA stand at AgQuip 2024.

Helen’s hardcover glossy coffee-table book showcases her beautiful creations - some traditional corn dollies and others more contemporary straw work, with stunning professional photographs and artworks from Helen’s private collection.

Helen became fascinated with corn dollies during the 1982 wheat harvest when she taught herself the ‘five-straw’ plait from a corn-dolly pamphlet purchased for her in England. Further skills were developed from illustrations on an English tea towel and from there she managed to weave her craft using straw straight from the paddock - also making gifts for local farmers from their own crops.

As Helen’s skill developed, she was invited to take part in a Namoi Group CWA handicraft day at Tambar Springs, later enhancing her skills at three workshops conducted by Sydney based straw-plaiter Nonie McFarlane.

‘Harvest Maids’ created by Helen (Bridges) Scott.

As interest in Helen’s work grew, requests to do workshops came in thick and fast from clubs, groups, churches, fetes and craft days but her most memorable was being asked to demonstrate and sell her creations at the Namoi Group CWA tent at AgQuip.

Cutting straw became a family affair on their Breeza property, appropriately named, Demeter, meaning ‘the goddess of grain’ in Greek mythology.

Helen enhanced the art of plaiting when she took part in a stockwhip plaiting school with RM Williams in Longreach.

As her craft skills became more widely known, Helen was in great demand and after moving to Esperance in WA her work continued across a broad spectrum of events, including the Rotary International conference at Esperance in 2000.

Helen’s ongoing story is

highlighted in her book along with amazing images of her creations, poetry and storytelling around the history of corn dollies in Koorda, Western Australia.

Helen’s Harvest Handicrafts will be marketed for the AgQuip special price of $69 in Helen’s old home town which she holds in great affection and locals can catch up with her at the markets and AgQuip.

Farmers and land managers in the North West can now access new, independent guidance and support to incorporate opportunities in natural capital markets and management into their farm business.

This Local Land Services initiative is designed to increase productivity, improve biodiversity and protect market access.

Andrew Jack has been appointed by Local Land Services as the Natural Capital Advisor for the North West region.

He is dedicated to helping farmers identify ways to improve their natural capital resources, and improve the integration and benefits between natural capital and their farming operation. Andrew can also assist growers in understanding the benefits and potential risks of participating in environmental markets.

Andrew brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in sustainable agriculture, having previously worked as an agronomist in Barraba, Tamworth, the Riverina and Tasmania.

“Natural Capital has been seen as a secondary cousin to improved pastures and cropping when in fact it is an integral part of farm dynamics”, Andrew said.

“By improving the management

of natural capital, it can open up new possibilities, from reducing a farm’s carbon footprint, to mitigating the effects of drought and providing access to new and existing markets”, he said.

As part of its new Natural Capital Program, Local Land Services is hosting a series of engaging Natural Capital Conversation events across the North West region. These events are designed for landholders looking to increase the value of their land’s natural assets whilst improving productivity and managing, restoring and protecting the environment.

Upcoming events will feature expert speakers, practical workshops and valuable networking opportunities with farmers who are leading the way in natural capital. Andrew will also be available at events around the region to provide insights and answer questions on how to find the right opportunities.

“To kick off the program locally, I’ll be attending AgQuip and will be present at the Local Land Services stand to have a chat with landowners about what natural capital assets actually entail, carbon market opportunities and how they can assess their carbon footprint,” Andrew said.

Aon returns as major sponsor of AgQuip, agtech hub promising to be a highlight Tickets are on sale for Aon AgQuip, Australia’s largest field days event, as organisers finalise exhibitor sites and prepare to throw open the gates on August 20.

Aon AgQuip is in its 51st year, after golden anniversary celebrations last year, and runs from August 20 to 22 at its purpose-built site just outside Gunnedah.

Tickets have been available online since July 11 and those who purchase in advance online will enjoy a 30 per cent discount off the door price. Aon is back as the event’s naming rights sponsor for another year, along with over 800 individual exhibitors showcasing more than 2500 brands, including many of the world's biggest names in agriculture.

The event has been showcasing the latest in agricultural products and services for more than 50 years and Sean McKeown, commercial manager for ACM Rural Events, said it promised to be another stunning showcase of the best in agricultural innovation, products and services.

“Aon AgQuip has built a reputation over many decades for giving agricultural producers the most up-to-date information and advice on improving efficiencies and productivity in their businesses, and exhibitors recognise the value in the event when it comes to accessing such a broad customer base,” he said.

“This year’s event is shaping up as another exciting opportunity for visitors and exhibitors alike, and to have Aon back on board as our major sponsor reflects the regard in which this event is held, and its significance to the industry,” Sean said.

Tim Trandafilu, national practice leader for agribusiness at Aon, said Aon was proud to again support an event that has become the benchmark for field days across the country.

“The agriculture industry forms an integral part of Australia’s economy, and we recognise the crucial contribution agribusiness makes to local communities. That is why we are delighted to support AgQuip for the third year in a row.

ABOVE AND RIGHT: AgQuip will see more than 800 individual exhibitors at its purpose-built Gunnedah site.

With a network of 35 offices across Australia, we are committed to ensuring every Aon client in regional Australia is better informed, better advised and able to make better decisions that protect and grow their business.”

With Agtech now such a significant contributor to the industry, Aon AgQuip organisers are keen to see this component of the event continue to grow, and this year will expand the AgTech pavilion to include the ‘AgSmart Connect Hub’, which will include industry talks and panel discussions.

Sean McKeown said the AgSmart Connect Hub, stems from the highly successful AgSmart Connect event, which was held in Tamworth in March. “Across two days, the latest in Agtech solutions were showcased, and this event

provides another ideal opportunity to continue to share some of Australia’s leading-edge innovation and information with our ever-growing Aon AgQuip audience.”

“Technological advancements are increasingly driving greater sustainability and productivity across our industry, and we know farmers are keen to understand

how to utilise these for the benefit of their business bottom-lines. At Aon AgQuip 2024, we are continuing to invest in this area to ensure visitors can not only see the latest in tech innovation, but also how they can apply this practically and effectively,” Sean said.

‘I want to be a voice for my communities’: Moylan says in debut parliament speech State Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan has vowed to be a voice for his communities.

Mr Moylan delivered his inaugural speech to the NSW Legislative Assembly last week.

The Gunnedah boy, turned Moree solicitor, paid tribute to his family, particularly his parents who he said were fundamental to him being in parliament.

“Mum and Dad are a quiet, unassuming, hardworking couple who gave me, my brother Paddy and my sister Felicity the very best start in life,” Mr Moylan said. “Like most country kids, my memories of childhood all revolve around the family farm. Like all farm kids, I grew up driving utes, operating machinery, farming paddocks, shooting pigs and working cattle.

It was a great way to grow up.

“My first awareness of politics occurred while sitting on a tractor in December 1991. I was with Dad, listening to the ABC coverage of Paul Keating’s successful challenge on Bob Hawke. I still remember watching Dad. “On the one hand he looked quite happy that Hawkie was gone, yet on the other hand he looked terrified that Paul Keating was about to become Prime Minister.

“I asked Dad how he voted. He said, ‘I vote for the Country Party.’

I asked him why and he said, ‘Because they’re the only ones that look after us in the bush.’ I have remembered that to this day.”

Mr Moylan acknowledged his mother as one of the hardest working people he has ever met.

“I like to think and hope that in some way I have inherited some of her grit and determination,” Mr Moyland said.

“Mum was a registered nurse and her work ethic is consistent with all nurses, particularly those in the bush. I have said it on a

number of occasions in the last few weeks, but our nurses really are the backbone of our healthcare system in the regions. Personally, I think it is time that we started paying them properly.”

Mr Moylan continued to talk about his early life in Gunnedah as well as the town’s reputation as a “cracking town with a rich political pedigree”, acknowledging Upper House member Sarah Mitchell, former Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson, former Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall and newly preselected Parkes candidate Jamie Chaffey who all hail from Gunnedah.

Mr Moylan also made special mention of his wife, Cath, and children Lucy, Rory and Milly. Mr Moylan met Cath, a Bingara girl, at a fundraiser in Carinda.

“Cath, you know what you mean to me. You are the kindest, most supportive and funniest person that I have ever met, and you are so patient with this new job. Thank you for everything,” he said.

Mr Moylan acknowledged former member Adam Marshall for setting a benchmark for what it means to be an effective, hardworking local member.

“Adam has also set the benchmark for how to transition a seat.

My seat has never been transitioned from party to party ever before,” he said.

“Adam was a successful local member because he always put the people of the electorate first; the politics came second, and that is the approach that I have already adopted. The people of our electorate expect and deserve an active, hardworking and accessible local member, and that is what I will be.”

Mr Moylan said his goals as a parliamentarian are simple ones.

“I want to be a voice for my communities, I want to always put the

Two women face court for alleged aggravated robbery in Moree Police news Two women faced court last week charged following an aggravated robbery in Moree last month.

About 2.45am on Saturday, July 27, a 32-year-old woman left a hotel with two other people when she was approached by two women known to her at the intersection of Auburn Street and Allambie Place, Moree.

A verbal and physical argument ensued before one of the women allegedly stabbed the 32-year-old woman multiple times with an unknown object before taking the woman’s mobile phone and fleeing the location on foot.

The woman attended Moree Hospital for treatment of her injuries, which were not considered

life threatening.

Officers attached to New England Police District were notified and commenced an investigation.

Following inquiries, about 11.45am on Tuesday, August 6, police executed a search warrant at a home on Jaminda Place, Moree, and seized a mobile phone.

Two women – aged 30 and 26 – were arrested and taken to Moree Police Station.

The 30-year-old woman was charged with aggravated robbery and inflict actual bodily harm.

The other woman was charged with aggravated robbery and inflict actual bodily harm, and stalk/intimidate intend fear physical harm (personal).

Both women were refused bail to appear at Armidale Local Court on Wednesday, August 7.

State Member for Northern Tablelands Brendan Moylan, who is the new MP following a by-election held in June, made his inaugural speech in the Legislative Assembly last week.

interests of my electorate ahead of my own interests, and I want to be a fearless advocate for the people of the Northern Tablelands but also for all of the people in regional New South Wales,” he said.

“Those of us from the Northern Tablelands are a diverse bunch.

The issues in Boggabilla are vastly different to the issues in Armidale.

“It is my job when I come to this place to make sure all of those issues are listened to and fought for. We are a geographically diverse electorate. Our electorate spans from the fertile plains of Boomi, or “Boomtown”, as the locals call it, to the gorges of Ebor.

We span from the Celtic country of Glen Innes to the cotton fields of Mungindi. In my opinion, the electorate encapsulates the very best of New South Wales.

“Our communities expect and demand that I will work hard and achieve results. I am not here for my own personal gain; rather— like most of us here, I think—I am here to improve the lives of the people in my electorate.

“To the farmer spraying his wheat at Moree this morning, I am here to work for you. To the nurse coming off a 12 hour shift at Armidale Hospital, again, I am here to work for you.

“I am here to work for everyone in my electorate, whether you voted for me or not. This is my job and this is what I will do.

The Northern Tablelands has an amazing community spirit.

“That spirit is on display today, with every mayor from the seven councils that make up our electorate here today, together with the

deputies and the general managers.”

Among those in attendance were Moree Plains Shire mayor Mark Johnson and deputy mayor Susannah Pearce.

“I want to achieve results for the communities in my electorate, and I want to go about that task with grim determination but also with grace and respect,” Mr Moylan said.

“At the end of the day, I am a servant of my communities and of the people who sent me to this place. I thank them for the incredible honour and privilege of standing here in the oldest Parliament in Australia.

“The promise I make to my electorate is simple: I promise to work hard and always do my best. Now it is time to get to work.”

Greyhound Racing NSW head in Moree to meet with stakeholders

By BILL POULOS

bill@moreeonlinenews.com.au

The future of greyhound racing in Moree looks marginally brighter, with Greyhound Racing NSW acting CEO Wayne Billett last week meeting with industry stakeholders at club headquarters.

Mr Billett sat down with trainers Neil Dallison, Helen Ayre, Doug James, and Gary and Bobby Moore, to discuss the immediate future of greyhound racing in Moree.

Mr Moore is Moree Greyhound Racing Club president, and Ms Ayre is club secretary.

Also present were Moree Plains Shire councillor, Kelly James, bookmaker Brian Steel and retired Bingara trainers, Mick and Barbara Keelan.

The Moree club, as well as clubs at Coonamble, Tamworth, Young and Potts Park, were in May slotted for closure, with a period of transition negotiated between clubs, communities and Greyhound Racing NSW. The last meeting at Moree was held on June 29, when 10 races were decided. Increased prize money ensured full fields.

Friday’s meeting with Mr Billett cast a glimmer of hope the industry in Moree might live to see another day.

Mr Billett, who replaced embattled GRNSW CEO Rob Macaulay last month, told the group the Moree club needed to lodge a detailed submission for consideration by the GRNSW board.

“What is important from the club’s perspective, is they have to

really understand what they want to do. From that, they need to put a submission together for the board to consider,” Mr Billett said.

“The submission should cover every single thing. I need to understand the impacts on the people in Moree and the impacts on the community.

“The club needs to think a little differently when lodging their submission. It’s all about throwing everything in, so there’s nothing left on the table.

“I will provide a report for the board and the board will then consider that,” he said.

Moree Greyhound Racing Club was blindsided by the closures, announced in May. “The board made the decision to close the tracks and I’ve been asked to consult with the affected clubs, meet face-to-face, and give those clubs the opportunity to give their views,” Mr Billett said.

“I want everyone to have their say, whether it be good, bad or ugly – I want to know what people are thinking, warts-and-all, and from my perspective, it’s really important that it is warts-and-all.”

Mr Billett said the greyhound racing industry in New South Wales was facing tough times.

“Our gaming revenue is down 20 percent, and, at the end of the day, that’s how we’re funded,” he said.

“The issue the industry has, is that across all of our networks we have ageing infrastructure and the costs to get up to standards is extensive.

“To be sustainable, the industry does not have the funds to keep every single venue open. We just do not have the money, it’s as

simple as that. If affected parties can demonstrate other opportunities (for funding), then that can be submitted to the board for their consideration,” he said.

Councillor Kelly James told Mr Billett the Moree region was on the cusp of a major economic boost.

“This club can’t close, and we have to do something to make sure that doesn’t happen,” Mrs James said.

“Moree is set to grow in the next few years with the Special

Activation Precinct (SAP). We’re looking at a population increase of around 4000 people – the entire population is set to boom within 10 years. The SAP is a good opportunity for Greyhound Racing NSW to open their eyes a little bit wider and understand Moree will soon be a major regional hub.

“Projects like the SAP in Moree mean population growth, and clubs like this having regional meetings and TAB meetings creates a snowball effect.

“I don’t want to lose that. We

need to do everything we can to make sure the Moree club stays open,” she said.

The NSW greyhound racing industry is in turmoil at the moment. GRNSW CEO Rob Macaulay resigned last month – replaced by Mr Billett – and State Minister for Gaming and Racing, David Harris, moved to sack the GRNSW board.

“It is well documented the board was given a show-cause notice by the minister, which they’ve done.

At the moment, it’s business as usual,” Mr Billett said.

Cotton industry stalwart Ross Munro honoured at Cotton Awards Moree cotton industry stalwart Ross Munro was last week honoured at the 2024 Australian Cotton Awards.

Mr Munro, a pivotal figure in the cotton industry since the 1970s, received the prestigious Incitec Pivot Fertilisers Service to the Cotton Industry Award.

Mr Munro attended the awards night at the Gold Coast with his wife, Toni, and was completely unaware he had been nominated.

“They started talking about what this guy did, and I thought, gee, he’s done a lot of things I’ve done.

I thought, I’ll have to find him after the show and have a yarn with him,” Mr Munro laughed.

“I had no idea, until they actually put my name up on the screen – it was totally a well-kept secret.

“I’m unbelievably honoured to be recognised.”

Initially working alongside his father on a cotton-growing business, Mr Munro has made significant contributions to machinery efficiency and cotton transportation.

His expertise has notably influenced the industry through his role in establishing BMC Partnership in Moree.

“I’m on the side of the industry, and never considered I’d be

honoured at all in that model,” Mr Munro said.

“In saying that, I’m always adding, coming up with ideas and trying to push new things.”

Cotton Australia CEO Adam Kay said Mr Munro has a well-deserved reputation for offering advice and a helping hand to anyone in the industry.

“Whether it’s about machinery setups, designing bale grabs or generally helping people to be more efficient at harvesting and moving cotton, Ross always makes himself available,” Mr Kay said.

“He is a great sounding board on which configurations pick the best and the pros and cons of all the different dryland configurations. Growers and machinery manufacturers are always calling in to see Ross to get some of his intimate knowledge of the industry, and I am sure they will all join me today in congratulating him on this achievement.”

The Australian Cotton Conference’s awards dinner recognised outstanding individuals for their contributions to the cotton industry.
