The frock that stopped a nation The Melbourne Cup, Australia’s racing event of the year is known for its incredible fashion scene – but how many people can actually say they’ve won the Fashions on the Field at such a prestigious event?

by JIMMY WHALAN Well, former local Sammy Smith was able to do just that, and not with an overpriced designer dress, but one she made herself!

Sammy said the inspiration for her stunning ensemble came when she noticed the eye-catching fabric while on holiday with her husband in America.

“I just knew it was going to be something special,” she said.

“After a few design drawings it all started to come together, and began to form my Melbourne Cup Day outfit.”

But what’s the secret to creating a head-turning look?

Sammy said the key to a winning look was a lot of patience and attention to detail.

“This attention to detail goes right down to making sure that not only do you have the perfect millinery, bag or shoes, but making sure they all come together and complement each other in order to create a cohesive winning look.”

When Sammy was announced as a winner of the Fashions on the Field, she said it felt “out of this world” to be a winner at Australia’s premier racing event.

“I had stepped forward after hearing my name before I had really processed what had happened,” Sammy said.

“On the way down, jokes were made between my husband and I about what if this actually happened – but now I just can’t believe it has!”

“Melbourne Cup is the biggest race day of the year, and this is the biggest fashions-on-the-field competition – not just in Australia, but also internationally.”

Although Sammy said it was an incredible experience to be recognised for her flawless fashion sense, the highlight was being able to immerse herself into the beautiful fashion scene throughout the day.

“Talking to the other competitors about their ideas and personalities and how it comes together in their outfits was the standout of the day for me,” she said.

“There are some amazing people in this community making it incredibly easy to make friends all over the world!”

Art sheds light on hidden stories The ‘UNSEEN Arts Hub’ rolled into Coonabarabran on Tuesday, 14 November, harnessing art to create a safe space and raise awareness of domestic violence and women’s homelessness.

by JIMMY WHALAN Launched on International Women’s Day in 2021, the UNSEEN Arts Hub is a mobile art installation made up of a chrome-finished house, car and couches.

These reflective su r faces se r ve a s a metaphor for how homeless women can often go unseen.

The UNSEEN Arts Hub aims to use this art to raise public awareness of the complex and unexpected circumstances leading t o w o m e n’ s h i d d e n homelessness.

Across Australia, more than 5 0,0 0 0 women

are experiencing homelessness, with domestic violence and financial abuse being the most frequent causes.

F o r m a ny o f t h e s e women, the fea r of judgement causes them to actively avoid support services, either staying in a violent situation or becoming homeless after leaving.

This hidden nature of women’s homelessness can obscu re the real extent of homelessness among women in Australia, as those who do not seek help often go unnoticed.

Peta Link Peta Link is a survivor of

domestic violence, who has become homeless several times during her life as a result.

Ms Link said she was fo r t u n a te e n o u g h to reach out and get the help she needed, and now works as a casewo r ker at a domestic violence service.

She also holds ar t wo r k s hops w ith i n the arts hub, working with su r vivo r s of domestic violence.

“It has its own language, and sometimes people might not want to go to a therapist, so this is an alternative way for them to be able to express

their feelings and ex p e r i e n ce s t h ro u g h art and community,” Ms Link said.

Holding a coolamonmaking workshop on the day, Ms Link said she sees these as a metaphor for what we carry with us, as a reminder to focus on what you need and not need to carr y the weight of negative experiences.

“Being allowed to speak my tr uth, of surviving domestic v i o l e n c e a n d homelessness, through art is very empowering,” she said.

Kristy Lee Bolch Kristy Lee Bolch is a s u p p o r t wo r ke r fo r a

homelessness program, supporting Indigenous clients.

Ms Bolch holds weaving workshops to help connect victims of domestic violence back to culture.

“Weaving is a great ‘yarn starter’ for women to sha re thei r sto r ies, and it gives the shy ones something to do with t h e i r h a n d s , s o t h ey feel more comfortable opening up,” Ms Bolch said.

She said the imperfection in weaving can also act as a metaphor for how life ca n b e i m p e r fe ct at times, but that you can s t i l l m a ke s o m et h i n g beautiful out of it.

“We also make dilly bags, which act as a place where you can mental ly sto re you r strengths and values; in my dilly bag I have my mob, my kindness, my compassion and my worth,” she said.

“The whole idea is

to connect women to culture and support their emotional and mental wellbeing.”

Fiona Arnold Fiona Arnold is an ar tist who was approached to be part of the UNSEEN Arts Hub after experiencing homelessness herself.

Ms Arnold said she had the idea to create an artwork that highlights women’s homelessness and how it can affect people from all walks of life.

Her ar t wor k, called ‘Walk a Mile in My Shoes’ features shoes of women who have experienced h o m e l es s n es s d ue to various circumstances including domestic vi o l ence, w ith thei r stories attached to the shoes.

“It’s a safe way fo r people to ta l k about their experiences, while also giving people an oppor tunity to quietly reflect on these issues,” Ms Arnold said.

“A n d i t ’ s n o t j u s t for women who have experienced domestic violence, but also for t h o se w h o a dvo cate for women ever y day and why they do the important work they do.”

M s A r n o l d sa i d th e shoes act as a metaphor for how women in domestic violence situations can often only leave with the clothes on their back and the shoes on their feet.

One particularly powerful example in the exhibit shows a single shoe, highlighting just how rushed and stressful these situations can be.

“It also shows the diversit y of these s it uat i o n s – it af fect s eve r yo n e of a l l a g es and backgrounds.

“Homelessness is eve r yone’s busi ness,” Ms Arnold said.

“Don’t judge homeless women till you have walked a mile in their shoes.”

‘Love Bites’ raises awareness of domestic violence In June, Coonabarabran High School Year 10 students participated in the Love Bites program, which provided an opportunity to learn about respectful relationships.

by JIMMY WHALAN T he prog ram was coordinated by the National Association for Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) and consisted of two workshops, the first focused on relationship violence, and the second on sex and relationships.

The aim of Love Bites is to provide young people with a safe environment t o e x a m i ne , d i s c u s s , and explore respectful relationships.

Following these workshops, students put their newly-learned knowledge to use, creating posters seeking to raise awareness about domestic violence and its impacts.

After students created these posters, the Coonabarabran local domestic violence committee obtained grant funding to transform the designs into magnets - to be placed on local vehicles to help spread awareness about domestic violence and all the shapes and forms it can come in.

Year 10 students Ella Rankin, Kylara Walker, Phoebe Menz and Emily Kerr had their posters feature on these magnets.

Abattoir returns to local hands Binnaway Meat Processor, now renamed Warrumbungle Meats, has recently changed hands, with the business now locally owned and operated.

by JIMMY WHALAN A f ter work i ng as manager at the abattoir for the last five years, Craig Harris said he and his brother-in-law, George Giovas, made the decision to purchase the business after the previous owners decided they wanted a change.

“It had been on the market for a while, so we weighed up the options and finally decided to go in and buy it together,” Mr Harris said.

The business, prev iously ow ned by Sydney mates, Enayat Hassib and Mohammad Reza, has seen several owners over recent years, but Craig and George are thr illed that the business is back under local ownership.

“We just think it’s good that a couple of keen local guys want to have a crack at it and bring it back to where it used to be,” Mr Giovas said.

Mr Harris said he hoped hav i ng a lo c a l ly- ow ned meat processor would bring many benef its to the

community.

“It’s good for the locals to be able to send their stock here to be killed and sent away to other but cher s , i n st e ad of travelling two-and-ahalf to three hours to a saleyard,” Mr Harris said.

“It’s also a big thing for the local shops in town, because if we’re not operating they have to go to Cowra, which means extra costs in freight there and back.”

M r Ha r r is sa id i n recent years there have been many hurdles facing t he me at -pr o c e s s i n g industry.

“In the last five years, the pr ev ious ow ner s have gone through flood, drought and fires, and have done all the hard work i n g et t i n g t he business operating, and it’s been getting better week in and week out,” Mr Harris said.

“They’ve done the hard work and now they’re ready to pass it on to us.”

Moving forward, Mr Giovas said one of the first goals was to increase the days of operation,

boosting productivity, a nd conti nu i ng t o provide a quality service to clients.

“ It ’s a l s o g r e at t o provide the opportunity for locals to work at the abattoir; we currently

employ 22 people and just about all of them are locals,” Mr Giovas said.

“There’s definitely lots

to improve on, but at the moment our main focus is to get the business r u n n i ng f ive d ays a

week, and improving the efficiency of operations to get the most done at the best possible quality.”

Previous owners of the Binnaway abattoir, Enayat Hassib (left) and Mohammad Reza Safdari (third left), hand over the keys to new owners, Craig Harris and George Giovas.

Have your say – drought resilience plan Gilgandra and Warrumbungle Shire Councils have received $200,000 in funding through the Regional Drought Resilience Planning Program to develop the Castlereagh Country Drought Resilience Plan.

The program acknowledges that local residents can learn from p rev i o u s d ro u g ht s a n d p l a n fo r broader community implications, and Gilgandra and Warrumbungle Shire Councils invite the community to have their say in the future implementation activities to support future resilience.

The plans will present historical and predicted impacts of drought in each region, an evidence-based, triplebottom-line strategy to mitigate or adapt to future drought impacts, and a prioritised list of actions and pathways to build drought resilience, specific to the region, that addresses the needs of the community.

The objective of these plans is to come up w ith practical solutions fo r a d d re s s i n g g a p s i n t h e wa y communities prepare for and respond to drought.

Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor, Cr Ambrose Doolan said the current dry conditions and the immediate past drought remind our communities that proactive work needs to be done.

“Every drought is different, and every

person has a different experience during drought. As a community and in this case a region, we need to start developing plans and approaches that guide the response and planning to proactively manage inevitable drought events,” Cr Doolan said.

“Our communities rally together and respond in amazing ways when under the impact of any adversity. “ D ro u g ht c re ate s u n ce r ta i nt y, impacts communit y and business confidence and moral and is often a prolonged event. We know these things, so this work is about understanding the opportunities to respond and deal with drought in a more prepared and resilient way.”

The development of the Castlereagh Countr y Drought Resilience Plan is underway and will involve stakeholder and community consultation as a key element.

Community drop-in sessions and key theme workshops commence on Monday, 27 November 2023, in Coonabarabran.

Heritage scar tree now protected The NSW Government has worked with the local Aboriginal community to protect an important ‘scar tree’ on Crown land near Coonabarabran.

Crown Lands in the Department of Planning and Environment worked with the Coonabarabran Local Aboriginal Land Council and community members to protect the fallen gum tree, after it was brought to attention by an Aboriginal Elder.

Fencing and a steel cage with a roof have been placed around the scar tree, which is located on Crown Reser ve l a nd , appr ox i m at ely 1.5 kilometres north of Coonabarabran.

Scar trees are trees that have been left with d istinctive ma rk ings created by Aboriginal people while obtaining bark to make shelters or other objects, or for artwork or other ceremonial uses depending on the local Aboriginal culture.

Recollections from Pam Brown People driving past the Baradine MPS may have noticed an extra flag flying over the weekend – this was the flag of the 30th Scottish Infantry Battalion and the Scottish Regiment Association.

Pam Brown with the 30th Scottish Regimental Flag on Remembrance Day at Baradine.

This regiment is well k now n i n Austra l ia n metropolitan areas and Baradine resident, Pam Brown, now 90, has been a member of this battalion for 75 years – since 1946 when she slightly fudged her age and joined at age 15 and a half, along with her brother and cousins.

At the time she was living in Gordon, Sydney, where the battalion was based, and the women trained with the men of the battalion as well learning nursing duties in the hospitals.

When Pam graduated from the Victoria Barracks she took on a role with the VAD’s Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD), wh ich supp or t ed the regiment in any way they could. Pam continued this role until the end of WWII and has continued the regular contact with this regiment ever since.

She is still very proud of the role she had at the time and has a host of memorabilia from her army days, including the flag.

Sydney’s 30th Infantry Battalion ( New South Wales Scottish Regiment) was raised in 1935. A Scottish regiment had belonged to NSW since 18 85, the f i rst being the New South Wales Scottish Rifles. The 30th wore the Black Watch tartan.

I n Ma rch 1942 the batta l ion moved i nt o a defensive position in North Sydney, deployed bet we en M a n ly, F reshwater Bay, a nd Curl Curl. When Sydney Ha rbou r came u nder Japa ne s e subm a r i ne attack on the night of 31 May, the battalion “stood to”, but there was little it could do, especially as many members were on

unofficial leave.

The 30th moved t o Gr et a for f u r t her training the next day, joining the 4th and 35th Battalions as part of the 8th Brigade. At the start of July 1942, the 30th moved to Western Australia, where it spent two yea rs tra i n i ng, labouring, and manning defensive positions along the coast from Bunbury to Geraldton. It was part of the 2nd Division, making up III Corps with the 1st Armoured Division.

From there they went to New Guinea where t he r e g i ment s t aye d until war’s end in 1945.

Following the end of the war, the 30th paraded at the Japanese surrender ceremony at Wewak.

The last group of men from the 8th Brigade left New Guinea on 24 January 1946 on board the tra nspor t sh ip,

Ormiston. During the conf lict, 522 men lost their lives while serving in South Africa, Egypt, France, New Guinea and Singapore, Malaysia.

The 30th Battalion was disbanded in Chermside, Queensland, in March 1946, but the association still attended A NZ AC Day services in Sydney, leading the marches with a full pipe band until 2010. Then, sadly, it was decided that due to the age band members, that would be the last time they marched with the full pipe band at the ANZAC parade.

Reunions continued t o b e he ld a nd n ow descenda nts of the regiment’s soldiers and associates still gather each yea r in Sydney.

The role of the regiment during WWII has been well documented and members have an active

Facebo ok Page a nd newsletter.

Baradine has another connection to the 2/30th Batta l ion. A r thu r Enright grew up on the property “Gleneve” in Baradine and enlisted at age 2 9. W hen the battalion was sent to Si ngap ore they were attacked by the Japanese.

Arthur was wounded in action on the Wia Mandai Road and died of wounds in Singapore at age 31 on 15 February 1942.

His body was reportedly never found, but he is listed on the Memorial Wall at the K r a nj i C e m e t e r y i n Singapore and has a g r ave s t one i n t he cemetery and a plaque at the RSL Memorial Wall in Baradine. He also remembered on his father ’s g rave at the Baradine Presbyterian Cemetery.

Coolah war memorial granted upgrades Coolah War Memorial School of Arts is due to receive a facelift, after volunteers worked to secure funding to conserve the significant community building.

by JIMMY WHALAN Dating back to 1920, the war memorial requ i res c ont i nua l updates to maintain the heritage of the building.

C o ola h commu n ity development officer, Lee Doyle said the back of the building now functioned as a prescho ol , w ith the remainder of the building used by the ANZAC Day committee ever y ye a r for lo c a l memorial services.

“This past year, the ANZAC Day committee had a very memorable service, inviting some past community members back to town to share their stories, so the building really is a big part of our ANZAC Day commemorations

each year,” she said.

Ms Doyle said funding for building upgrades was thanks to the many hours of hard work from local volunteers.

“In such a small town as Coolah, nearly every community activity is run by volunteers, so it’s always a huge deal getting grants because so many people put in so many hours of work – every little win makes all the difference.”

The funding for these up g r ad e s wa s m ad e available through the N S W G o v e r n m e n t ’s C om mu n it y Wa r Memorials Fund.

Established in 2008, this funding aims to help conserve, repair, and protect war memorials across NSW,

Warrumbungle Shire Council throughout the process to ensure the upgrades run smoothly. “ The volunteers are really on top of working with Council, we’ve got a fantastic councillor, K athy Rind f leish, so that link with Council makes the process so much easier,” Ms Doyle said. “ T he C ounci l has been very good in t er m s of supp or t i n g the project, and giving letters of support for the upgrades.”

M s D oyle sa id the next step of the process is to revise painting and restoration quotes with the heritage officer, with hopes the upgrades will be completed by ANZAC Day 2024.

Funding has been secured to upgrade the Coolah War Memorial School of Arts.

Coona takes centre stage

Bungle Rumble organising committee are keen as beans for next weekend’s event.

The calm before the rumble...organisers anticipate an action-packed day of family fun and community engagement at this year’s Bungle Rumble festival on Saturday, 25 November.

YOUR SAY: What are you looking forward to at Bungle Rumble?

by GEORGIA SPENCE After nine months of consistent organisation, Bungle Rumble is set to be an afternoon and evening of exciting entertainment.

Direct to Coonabarabran’s doorstep, the event is like no other, as it features world-class performances such as Chocolate Starfish and Andy Penkow.

Bungle Rumble also highlights local talent hidden, providing opportunities for regional artists to perform in front of a large crowd.

Indigenous Culture will be represented throughout the event, with a cultural dance performed by multiple mobs from both Coonabarabran and Newcastle.

Organisers originally expected a crowd similar to that of last year – 3000, however, due to slow local ticket sales, that estimate has been halved.

At the time of print, ticket sales had been strongly supported from outside of the Warrumbungle Shire, with visitors set to travel to Bungle Rumble from Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane.

While local tickets appear to be rising as the event draws near, it is expected that sales will eventually double on the gates.

Kodi Brady, one of the event organisers, said the organisation process had been relatively smooth, with the only concern being a lack of consistent, local support.

“An event like this is rare out here. It supports the town economically, with people travelling far and wide to get here,” Mr Brady said.

“We do not do this to make money. Our aim is to break social isolation through the opportunity to attend a live event.

“We want to break even and gain more local sales.”

The event has been organised by volunteers, who hope to see the return of Bungle Rumble next year.

Currently, the likelihood of the event returning is based on how the 2023 event is supported locally and if further grant funding can be sourced.

Mr Brady said volunteers were needed for set up and pack down. Anyone who can assist can contact Mr Brady for more information.

Mr Brady said Bungle Rumble provided the opportunity for people to gather as a community to celebrate art and culture.

It is a family-friendly event including multiple inflatables and face painting for kids.

Local food, drink and market stalls will also be on offer.

“There will be something for everyone. Every minute will be action packed,” Mr Brady said.

“It should be a really great day.”

WORD

for WORD

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 continues...

MILLIE MILLS University student by day, singing towards success by night...

by GEORGIA SPENCE Hailing from Wellington, Millie Mills is a First Nations musician who delivers a high energy performance.

A s p a r t o f Coonabarabran’s 2023 Bungle Rumble line-up, Millie’s original songs are an ode to storytelling, weaved through the folk genre.

Growing up in a small town, Millie said she understood the difficulty regional performers faced in getting exposure.

“There are less opportunities to perform in regional areas compared to the cities,” Millie said.

“For me, Bungle Rumble is such a great opportunity to share my music with a new crowd.”

And, as if performing wasn’t enough, Millie is also studying primary teaching and hopes to combine her passion for music and work as a teacher.

“I have always wanted to be a role model for younger people,” she said.

“For anyone who has a dream, I want to show how they can achieve their goals if they keep at it.

“No matter who you are, or where you come from, you can always have a go - it’s not shame to have a go.”

Millie was influenced by music from a young age and has performed around pubs and clubs

since she was 12-yearsold.

Along the way she has harnessed life experiences, which have helped to inspire some original compositions.

“I’ve probably written a song about everyone at this point,” Millie said.

“I am a very dramatic person so I like to channel that into my music.

“Music is such a good

platform to express and share a story.

“You can get a lot out in 15 minutes.”

Do you have a nickname? No, but I was named Anthony and everyone calls me Tony.

How did you come to live i n Coonaba rab ran?

I am Coonabarabran born and bred – almost 90 odd years ago. I have seen a lot of changes – loss of hospital facilities, doctors, trains, planes, destruction of beautiful buildings. I think, from memory, airplanes used to land where the industrial area was.

What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? In my youth I worked at the local post office, taking telegrams over the phone.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? Coffee, solitaire and music. I really enjoy Andrea Bocelli and Andre Rieu – my grandsons call it “old people music”.

How would your friends and family describe you in three words? Believer in God, which translates into – Christian, caring and authentic.

What is your favourite season and why? It is spring because it is new life, it is beauty and warmth. It brings hope.

Have you read any good books lately ? Yes. ‘Man’s Sea rch Fo r Meaning’ by Doctor Viktor Frankl; ‘Treatise On Toleration’ by Voltaire.

What is something people might not know about you? In 1946 school athletics I held the junior record for the broad jump, which was 16 feet and one inch. Also, in 1953 I represented Coonabarabran Intermediate High School Ex Students Association in the Ugly Man Competition. This was to raise money to contribute to the building of the Coona swimming pool.

There was a full page feature on the representative in the Coonabarabran Times on 5 March 1953.

What gets you through a long road trip? When I am on my own I like to play my own music. Otherwise, with

my grandchildren, I like to play silly games such as – how did various towns and rivers get their names?

You can get a good laugh out of that.

We also play eye spy and guess what colour the next car will be.

Do you have an interesting or random fact to share? You can float on the Dead Sea in Jerusalem because of the salt content in the water. In 1999 I floated on the Dead Sea in Israel, reading the Coonabarabran Times!

If you could pick a decade to visit on a time machine what would it be? I would like to go back to the first century, AD, in Jerusalem, so that I could compare the Pharisees of them to the Pharisees of today.

What’s the most used emojis on your phone? The happy face, but I don’t use emojis.

If you could have anyone around for dinner (dead or alive) who would it be? The list is reasonably long.

Mother Theresa, Nelson Mandela, Bishop Tutu, Truganini, and Martin Luther King.

And what would you cook them?

Something simple. I would take from the freezer spaghetti bolognese from Coonabarabran Community Care, Meals on Wheels.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? When we come together at family gatherings.

What’s something you’re looking forward to? I am looking forward to Christmas, celebrating the birthday of Jesus. Jesus is the reason for the season, not Santa Claus.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? My father said believe in God and say your prayers. My mother told me treat everyone as equals. My Bible tells me trust in God. Who should we chat to next? Lawrie Dawson.

First Nations musician, Millie Mills is part of the Bungle Rumble line-up.

NSW CAPO consultation Throughout 2023, NSW Coalition of Aboriginal Peak Organisations (NSW CAPO) has been hosting consultations across the state to talk to Aboriginal people about how they can help hold the government to account for Closing the Gap. Consultation has revealed that Aboriginal people want to be involved in designing an independent, A b or i g i n a l-le d , g over n ment ac c ou nt abi l it y mechanism.

NSW CAPO is leading the design of a ‘Government Accountability Mechanism’. The aim is for this mechanism to be independent and Aboriginal-led.

NSW CAPO is now seeking ideas on how to design the best option around accountability.

In consultation to date, they have been asking the big questions, like what does accountability mean,

9 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 16 November 2023

and what would meaningful consequences look like when government isn’t meeting their commitments?

The ideas gained from community will shape options of what a mechanism of accountability could look like.

As part of Phase 2 of consultations, early next year, NSW CAPO will hold a second round of consultations to present these options and ask for feedback.

In line with the first round of consultation NSW CAPO will visit Coonabarabran to talk to the Aboriginal community on Tuesday, 28 November.

The event will be held at the Coonabarabran Town Hall from 5.30pm – 7.30pm - come along and share your views on what a mechanism for government accountability might look like for NSW.

Country women cultivate kindness Cultivating kindness, fund-raising projects and updates on branch activities were high on the discussion agenda when country women gathered in Baradine.

by LIZ CUTTS Members of the C ou nt r y Women’s A s s o c i at ion of N S W throughout the region m e t f o r t h e a n nu a l Castlereagh Countr y Group conference, held this year at the Baradine Bowling Club on Monday, 16 October.

Group president, Wendy Baldock welcomed C WA state president, Joy Beames, who talked about the ‘Cultivating Kindness’ pr og ra m, wh ich w i l l be implemented in line with the Association’s strategic plan.

“This program aims t o c r e at e a c u l t u r e of acceptance and inclusivity within the C WA w ith a speci f ic focus on implementing a zero-tolerance policy for bullying,” Mrs Beames said.

“The program will be rolled out over the course of three years.”

Mrs Beames said she had been in Canberra on behalf of the Association, discussing various issues of concern with politicians including the critical housing shortage in NSW. “ We t a l k e d a b o u t the v iability of C WA halls and the increasing

nu mber of med ic a l services that the Royal Flying Doctor Service is supply ing to rural and remote areas, with very little government f und ing prov ided for these services,” added Mrs Beames.

“Plans are underway for the 2 02 4 Stat e C on fer enc e i n C of f s H a rb ou r, w it h t he Riverina Group hosting the 2025 conference in Wagga Wagga.

“A s the R oya l Fa r West is short of funding, an event is to be held at Pa rliament House next year to promote the work done by this great organisation. It has been agreed that a c ont r i but ion f r om the CWA International Fund be given to this organisation. “ T her e i s a ls o the wonder f u l news that the Macqua r ie Home Stay in Dubbo is being extended and the new extension will be known as the ‘CWA Wing’.”

Members were advised that the country of study for the next 12 months will be France, the fauna – microbats, foe – imported Red Fire A nt, while fungi will be investigated instead of the flora category for one year.

The election of off ice bearers was held with all positions filled: Group president – A nnie Johnston ( Mudgee Even i ng); executive representative – M ichelle Southwell (Mendooran), secretary – Barbara Hale (Mudgee Evening), treasurer – Ly n P r i c h a r d , v i c e -

presidents – I rene Wo r r e l l ( B a r ad i n e) , Wendy Baldock ( P u rlewaug h), G a i l Preston ( Purlewaugh) and Margaret Baxter; international – Helen Marsonett (Rylestone), ag a nd env i r on ment – L ou P r e s s ( I l fo r d Running Stream), c u lt u ra l – M a rga r et

WEATHER WATCH Last Friday, 10 November, Adelaide recorded a maximum t e m p e r ature of 4 0.3 degrees. This was equal hottest there for the first half of November on record, with a reading of 40.3 degrees – also on 10 November 1897.

The summer of 189798 was the hottest on record in Melbourne and at many other towns in Victoria including Bendigo and Mildura.

It was also a very hot summer in South Australia, NSW and also in Queensland.

M a x i m u m temperatures in Victoria in December that year reached 46 degrees at Mildura, 45 at Deniliquin in the Riverina and around 40-42 degrees further north to Moree, but not as high in outback Qld due to above-average rainfalls.

In January 1898 there were prolonged heatwaves in Victoria and in the Riverina, particularly from about 24 January, which continued right through to 4 February. However, further north, the effect of heavy rainfalls from Dubbo all the way north to Roma kept the highest temperatures around 38 degrees during both January and February, but with night-time

minima being well above normal.

Last weekend many places in our region had their highest temperature for the first half of November since 2009.

Wilcannia recorded 43.8 degrees and Griffith 41.7, while further north Birdsville recorded 44 degrees.

The very hot conditions continued in our regions during December 2009, but widespread heavy rain and thunderstorms arrived just before Christmas and again at end of December and early January 2010, with floods along the Castlereagh River in Coonabarabran.

The summer of 200910 was certainly hotter than normal generally, particularly south of Dubbo where maxima were just over 40 degrees until the end of January.

Deniliquin recorded the highest temperature of 45 degrees in January 2010.

Widespread heavy rain arrived early February and another burst arrived the first week of March 2010.

The year 2010 was a very wet one indeed, but I think 2024 will more likely follow the 1898 rainfall pattern .

Full house for Sydney Male Choir concert

The Sydney Male Choir was joined by guest artists, Coonabarabran Men’s Choir and St Lawrence’s Catholic School Choir, during their appearance in Coonabarabran on 18 October, part of their ‘On the Road Again’ tour of New England and Central West NSW.

Run slump leads to cricket loss Coonabarabran’s cricket team suffered its second loss of the season last Saturday, defeated by last year’s competition winners, Gidgee.

CRICKET

Coonabarabran Workshop

I n hot a nd br e e z y conditions Gidgee won the toss and elected to bat. They made a solid start and took their score to 60 before the fall of the first wicket in the 11th over. A second wicket, that of opener and top scorer Mark Stewart, who scored 52, fell in the 13th over.

Gidgee then lost two other wickets quickly and slumped to 4-96 before

Joel Gosden and Blake Chapman put on a stand of 45, taking the score to 141 before Gosden was dismissed.

T he i n n i ngs then finished quickly with the last five wickets falling for 36, leaving Gidgee all out in the 39th over for 177.

In addition to Mark Chapma n , batsmen who scored double figures for Gidgee were Blake Chapman (31), Joel Gosden (26), Tyne Chapman (14) and Blaike

Fernando (10).

Successf u l bowlers for Coona were Nick Wi l loughby (5 -2 8), Jerico Chatfield (2-32), Cameron Whittall (2-34) and Tom Redden (1-28).

Coona’s quest for the 178 r u n s ne eded for victory never looked like being successful. They slumped to 6-47 in the 16th over and appeared likely to be beaten by more than 100 runs until a lower-order rally, led

by Lachlan Campbell (31) and Jerico Chatfield

(26), saw them make 115 before they were all out in the 32nd of their allotted 40 overs.

O t he r b at s m e n t o make double figures for Coona were Tom Redden (16) and Nick Willoughby (13).

Successf u l bowlers for Gidgee were Jake Fernando (4-15), Justin Fernando (2-15), Tyne Chapma n (2 -3 4) a nd Blake Chapman (1-19).

The Coona boys were less than happy with several aspects of their

performance, but their inability to bat out their overs was their biggest problem. Their bowling was solid and they would have dismissed Gidgee for a lower score had all the catching opportunities Gidgee gave them been taken.

Coona’s next scheduled game is against Gulargambone at Coonabarabran’s number three oval this coming Saturday, 18 November, commencing at 1.00pm.

Over the Odds CENTRAL & WESTERN RACING by COL HODGES Warren Races Sunday, 12 November Simply Xtravaga nt remained unbeaten at the last five starts after w inning the $37,0 0 0 Cotton Cup over 1600 metres on Sunday at Warren.

The winning run for the Brett Robb, Dubbotrained, four-year-old mare commenced with a C l a s s 1 H a nd ic ap at Dubbo followed by D ubbo, C o ona mble, C o o n a b a r a br a n a nd then Warren at the first attempt in open company.

14 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 16 November 2023

W hen trained in Victoria, Simply Xtravagant had one win from eight starts and since moving to the Robb stable has only been beaten once, when a first up third at Narromine.

Osman established a four-lengths lead in the Cotton Cup, with Simply Xtravagant following Watch Me Rumble and Yak in the 10-horse field.

C lay t on G a l lagher timed his run perfectly and Simply Xtravagant ($3 favourite) finished gamely to win by almost a length from Titled Tycoon (Chelsea Hillier, $3.50) a nd O sm a n ( R on a ld Simpson, $4.80).

Now with the excellent record of seven wins and 14 placings, the Brett Robb trained, seven-yearold mare Moetta won the 1200 metres Sprint with apprentice Dakota Gillett in the saddle.

Formerly from Alice Springs, Dakota Gillett is the daughter of Terry G i l le t t , a l on g-t i me successful jockey and trainer in the Northern Territory.

Sharing the lead on the home turn, Moetta ($4.20) kicked clear to

win by nearly two lengths f rom S ea O f F lames (Shayleigh Ingelse, $18) and Beauchamp ( Z oe Hunt, $7).

First leg of a winning treble for Brett Robb came in the 1400 metres Maiden Plate when Bliss (Clayton Gallagher, $3.90 to $3.30 fav) sprinted to a comfortable win over the strong-finishing World Atlas (Shayleigh Ingelse, $31) and Sports Page (Wendy Peel, $11).

Now apprenticed to D ubb o t ra i ner C l i nt Lundholm after coming from the Greg Hickman stable at Warwick Farm, Zoe Hunt took a rails run on the Lundholm trained Majestic Wings ($26) to win the 1400 metres Benchmark 58 Handicap from Turnaway (Jake Pracey-Holmes, $4.80) and Luna Eagle (Clayton Gallagher, $3 fav.).

Zoe Hunt, who recently outrode her 4kg allowance, had also won on Majestic Wings at the recent Mudgee meeting.

At only the third start in a race, the five-year-old gelding Gecko Coin was an impressive winner of the 1000 metres Maiden Handicap for Narromine

trainer, Kylie Kennedy.

Ru sh i ng dow n the outside from near the back of the big field, Gecko Coin (Heavelon Va n D er Hoven , $7 ) beat Independent Scoop (Andrew Banks, $31) and Violet And Blue (Mathew Cahill, $13).

Starting a $31 outsider, the K ieren Hazelton, Gilgandra-trained Order Of Merit (Jake Barrett) upset the favourites when reeling in Rockin’ Edition (Ken Dunbar, $2.60 fav) a nd D e i o n (C l ay t o n Gallagher, $3.10 to $2.70) to win the 1000 metres Benchmark 58 Handicap.

Likewise, the Douglas Fernando, Moreetrained Lady Cornelia (Chelsea Hillier), as a $16 outsider, won the 1600 metres Class 2 Handicap, while the Connie Greig, Dubbo-trained Celtic Harp (Ronald Simpson) was switched around the leaders heels close to home to win the 1200 metres Class 3 Handicap as a $9 chance. xxxx Cobar trainer Wayne Prisk had success at the Broken Hill Silver City meeting on Saturday when his seven-year-old

gelding Sun Master won the 1600 metres Class 2 Handicap.

Starting the $21 rank outsider, Sun Master (Caitlin Tootell) won by almost four lengths from On Bail (Robert Beattie, $4.20) and Rockford Files (Sairyn Fawke, $4.20).

Winning rider Caitlin Tootell is the daughter of veteran jockey, David Tootell, who rode Vo R og ue when the late Vic Rail first took his champion stayer from Queensland to Victoria.

In those days David Tootell was a much in demand jockey and when he later had commitments to ride another champion horse, Cyril Small became the regular jockey for Vo Rogue, the winner of multiple major races.

The most recent ride for David Tootell was when aged 61, he suffered serious injuries in a race fall at Port Augusta in South Australia in May 2023. xxxx B a t hu r s t T A B o n Saturday, 18 November, and Wellington TAB on Sunday.

Off-road win for Barrons Father-son racing duo, Warren and Bradley Barron have defended their title for the third year running in the NSW Offroad Championships.

by JIMMY WHALAN This state championship had a total of seven rounds throughout NSW, with the Barrons achieving first place in the super 1650 class against approximately 70 other competitors.

From dirt tracks to scrub, four-wheel drive to high speed, the seven rounds went through places like Nabiac, Kempsey, Milbrodale and Warialda.

Warren said they won a few of their last rounds, and ultimately achieved the highest point score throughout the year for the third year in a row.

“It came down to the last race in the end and we got the points there to win the state championships, so it really came down to the wire,” he said.

Warren said he and Bradley were thrilled to have been able to retain their title for the third consecutive year.

“We went up mountains, across paddocks and creek crossings, with long courses and short courses and some were harder than others – some would even start with as many as 80 cars and only 20 would finish it,” Mr Barron said.

A competition like this does, of course, have its challenges, with Warren saying the amount of dust often meant they could only see about one foot in front of them.

“We blew a clutch at one event, but we finished enough of the race to get our points up and managed to have the highest point score in the end – so it was great to be able to defend our title!”

Life on the long paddock

By ALI SMITH

journalist@nwcourier.com.au

It’s hard to believe that this time last year, floodwaters were isolating communities and riverbanks were bursting at the seams.

How quickly the landscape can change.

Now, paddocks on the North West plains are parched and desperate for soaking rain.

There has been some welcome rain in parts recently but in others, remaining pastures are disappearing, and readers might have noticed cattle and sheep on the move, grazing on the roadside under the watchful eye of their diligent drovers.

“I’ve been doing it for about 35 years,” said Joey Smith.

“You must love it?” I asked.

“It’s growing on me,” he responded, flashing a wry smile under his wide-brimmed hat.

“Yeah, it’s starting to grow on me.”

Joey and his wife Tania hit the open road in April, droving ‘980odd cattle’ along the region’s public stock routes as they search for feed in dry conditions.

“We started at Bugilbone, near Pilliga,” explained Tania.

“And we don’t know where we’re going,” added Joey.

“They don’t call it the long paddock for nothing – when it gets dry in one area, you go to another area.”

Legendary long paddock part Continued from front page

The legendary long paddock is part of Australian bush lore – the colloquial name given to the vast network of travelling stock routes that drovers gain permission to move mobs of sheep or cattle along to find greener (or at least better) pastures, especially during drought.

“Yeah, the name suits it because for as long as you want to go down it, you can go down it,” said Joey.

“As long as you can put up with it,” added Tania.

“We’ve been away for 18 months before, but that’s not great.

“I’ve got grandkids now; I like to be with them in Coonamble.”

The long paddock might sound like a never-ending network of backroads and highways lined with fresh fodder, but as Joey pointed out, “When it’s dry statewide and beyond, it can become a challenge to find somewhere to go.

“That’s half the battle - working the cattle is one thing, but figuring out where you’re going to take them to feed them and water them, look after their welfare, well, that’s another challenge in itself.”

Joey is much more organised and experienced than he lets on, and it turns out they do have a plan but are always ready to

adapt if a situation changes.

As it often does in agriculture when you’re working with

animals and are at the mercy of Mother Nature.

“We talk to the ranger, go for a

drive and have a look around the route,” explained Tania.

“We talk to local people, and then you chat to the ranger again and ask for a permit, and if you can go a certain way – they’ll say yea or nay.”

The husband-and-wife team work on quadbikes, moving to the slow rhythm of the mob meandering along the dusty pathways.

Sometimes, the cattle slow or stop traffic, sprawling across the road and looking to see if the grass might be greener on the other side.

It’s an iconic bush scene playing out under the cloudless sky, the sun beating down as the drovers guide their stock back on track, whistling to their trusty dogs for assistance.

The four-wheel drive motorbikes are a welcome update to the grazing tradition.

“We can get to the front of the cattle 10 times quicker than you can on a horse,” said Joey.

“And then we don’t need the dogs that we used to have to have.

“We used to have 20 dogs; now we’ve only got eight.

“So, for us, it just makes sense.”

During this drive, Joey and Tania have set up camp at various locations, including Burren Junction’s Nowley Road, Spring Plains Road and just off the Kamilaroi Highway between Wee Waa and Narrabri.

For now, the road is home, and the top priority is to ensure their stock are fed and watered as they prepare to send some to market.

In the last six months, new cows have joined the mob, calves have arrived and weaners have been sold and trucked to the Coonamble yards.

“My father owns these cattle,” explained Tania.

“We’re here to find them good feed and water and make these cattle shine.

“Hopefully, there’ll be a jump in the market, but here we are going

If somebody is thinking about droving, you need to go out and spend a bit of time with another drover because that’s the way you’re going to learn. You’ve got to be willing to listen, listen to your elders and you’ll pick it up.

TANIA SMITH back into dry again.

“It’s disheartening for people.

“But honestly, I think you just have to think - tomorrow has got to be a better day.

“If you think it’s going to be a bad one - you’re in trouble, aren’t you?

“I get up and I’m aching, but it is satisfying work; you can look back and see what you’ve done.”

In September, the Bureau of Meteorology declared Australia was in the grip of an El Nino climate pattern, and cattle prices have been steadily declining.

However, Tania’s resilient and can-do attitude comes from years of experiencing the highs and lows of a life lived off the land; droving is in her blood.

“I’m a fourth-generation drover – my father is Les Trindall, he was from Narrabri, and my grandfather was Billy Trindall,” she explained.

“If somebody is thinking about droving, you need to go out and spend a bit of time with another drover because that’s the way you’re going to learn.

“You’ve got to be willing to listen, listen to your elders and you’ll pick it up.

“Don’t go out and try and do it on your own.”

“You’ve got to have a bit of stock sense,” added Joey.

“You see these ‘yahoos’ coming out, and they think they know everything.

“They can talk ‘the talk’ but they can’t walk ‘the walk’.

“You’ve got to be able to read the cattle.

“But it’s good: I wouldn’t be doing it if I couldn’t recommend it.”

When asked what attracted him to the drover’s life, Joey responded, “My wife, well, my girlfriend then.

“I guess I just got roped into it.

“I used to do a lot of mustering while I was shearing, but it was just the outdoors really that drew me to it.

“That’s why I quit shearing because you’re stuck in the shed all day.

“I just like being outdoors.

“There’s always a challenge.

“The cattle have a mind of their own – if they see a hole in the fence, they’ll try to go through it or if you want them to walk ‘that way’ they’ll want to walk ‘the other way’.

“They can act completely differently to how you want them to – that can be the challenge of it.

“But it is satisfying, and I just like the lifestyle – it’s easygoing.”

Rising before the sun, working in the heat all day, trekking to the showground for a warm shower and living without the modern luxuries many of us take for granted doesn’t sound too easy.

But Tania and Joey take it all in their stride and have a very impressive and clean camp set-up.

As Banjo Paterson wrote, “the drover’s life has pleasures that the town’s folk never know” - sitting around a campfire at night, under 180 degrees of stars, sipping a cup of tea that was boiled by the billy, in the familiar company of your partner and feeling the sweet satisfaction of completing another day of hard productive work.

Oh, and who could forget, enjoying Tania’s delicious cooking.

“That’s why I married her,” said Joey.

You’ve got to have a bit of stock sense. You see these ‘yahoos’ coming out, and they think they know everything. They can talk ‘the talk’ but they can’t walk ‘the walk’. You’ve got to be able to read the cattle.

Lion keepers at Taronga Western Plains Zoo received the best gift for International Zookeeper Day, with a trio of lion cubs born late in the evening on Wednesday 4 October 2023.

Keepers closely monitored Marion via CCTV in the weeks leading up to the birth, after she experienced some complications with her first litter and required an emergency caesarean. Marion appeared to be in labour in the morning of October 4, before giving birth to two cubs between 9pm and 10pm that evening. The third cub arrived a few hours later.

“Being an imported lioness from America, Marion brought new genetics into our region so this litter of cubs is really important for the regional breeding program.”

Water buybacks ‘devastating’

By ALI SMITH

The mayors of three North West councils have joined forces to call on Senators to oppose the federal government’s Water Amendment (Restoring our Rivers) Bill 2023 and pushback on water buybacks.

The proposed bill seeks to amend the Water Act 2007 and Murray Darling Basin Plan 2012 with the view of implementing the Basin Plan in full.

It aims to deliver water infrastructure projects by 2026 and

recover 450 gigalitres of additional water for the environment by 2027 – one of the federal government’s proposed methods of recovery is through voluntary water buybacks.

The bill passed the lower house in October and it’s now up to Senators to debate and decide its future.

Gunnedah Shire mayor Jamie Chaffey, Narrabri Shire mayor Darrell Tiemens and Moree Plains Shire mayor Mark Johnson represent some of the most productive

agricultural areas in Australia.

The trio held a press conference in Wee Waa recently, raising a united voice to express grave concerns about the “devastating impacts” the proposed water bill could have on local communities, especially when it comes to water buybacks.

The mayors highlighted the flowon effects - from the farm to the main street and households.

Gunnedah shire mayor Jamie Chaffey said the bill was concerning on “many levels”, including the lack of consultation.

“Any hearings for this Bill that will impact so significantly on regional NSW have all been held in Canberra,” Cr Chaffey said.

“Where is the meaningful consultation with the people who will bear the brunt of this Bill?

“Water is life in regional NSW. “Our crops, our animals, ourselves – we all depend on it, and when the water is not available, businesses fail and people move,” Cr Chaffey said.

“People whose livelihoods are at stake need and deserve the opportunity to have input into their future in practical and positive ways.

“The proposals in this bill will further divide the city and the bush.”

Cr Chaffey called on the NSW government and its agriculture minister to ‘stand up’ for the region.

“It’s not just those irrigation farmers or primary producers - it’s all of the businesses that support those industries in these communities that if more water is recovered and the uncertainty about the (federal) minister of the day where they’ll choose and when they’ll choose to actually recover that water has got to have everybody concerned.”

Cr Chaffey added, “Victoria has walked away - they’ve said they don’t want to be part of this.

“I’d love to see NSW say the same thing because this is not good for our regions.”

In 2016, a Murray-Darling Basin Authority review of the socio-economic effects of the removal of water from farming revealed

Collarenebri lost more than 80 per cent of its irrigated land and more than a third of its farm employment after water buybacks.

Socio-economic concerns led to water buybacks being capped by the former Coalition government in 2015 and ruled out in 2020 by then Water Minister Keith Pitt.

“The social outcomes of water buybacks - we lose employment, we lose families, we lose the heart and soul of our communities,” said Moree Plains Shire mayor Mark Johnson.

“No level of compensation directed anywhere can replace that.

“You’ve got the perfect example to the west of my town of Moree, a town called Collarenebri, which was part of the first water buybacks.

“That community has been absolutely decimated by the lack of irrigated farms there now.

“Our biggest job is to try and stop the decline in population of our regional communities and, having the federal government come in and take away industry, jobs, family, from our communities - it’s a hell of a job to try and turn that the other way around.

“So, what we’re asking for is a very balanced review of this, that they are not only looking at the environmental impacts of the water buybacks, but the social impacts as well.

Narrabri shire mayor Darrell Tiemens the effect of water buybacks on regional communities would be devastating.

“When you start taking water out of communities, you’re taking away the socio-economic lifeblood,” said Cr Tiemens.

“The devastating impact on farming and irrigation by taking away water, affects all our townships, all our communities.

“What you’re effectively doing is taking jobs out of these towns – you’re pulling out local shops, cafes, banks, post offices – right through to loss of police officers and teachers.

“Our communities have already been gutted by droughts, floods, COVID – our people have been smashed time and time again –

enough is enough.”

The Wee Waa hospital was the backdrop for Friday’s press conference, where Hunter New England Health announced a temporary cutback in services earlier this year.

Minister for the Environment and Water Tanya Plibersek said the Restoring Our Rivers Bill will rescue the Murray-Darling Basin Plan by allowing more time, more options, more funding and more accountability to deliver the Plan and make the Murray-Darling sustainable.

“I’ll be looking at a range of options to deliver the 450 GL. Onfarm and off-farm efficiency projects, voluntary water purchase and other options are all part of the mix,” she said.

“I don’t want to see all this water bought – that’s why I am extending timeframes to give Basin governments more time to finish their water saving projects.

“It’s also why I am open to other non-purchase options.

“Where voluntary water purchase does have a socioeconomic impact, transitional assistance funding can be provided.”

Minister for Regional NSW and Minister for Western NSW Tara Moriarty has said the state government does not support water buybacks.

In a statement provided to the North Western Guide, the state minister described the NSW government’s position on water buybacks as solid.

“We want to see the Australian government prioritise investment in recovering water through other ways,” Ms Moriarty said.

“As a priority, we will continue to work closely with local communities, the Australian government and other states in the Basin to create a pathway forward. I also look forward to working with local councils in helping them fulfill their responsibilities.

“The NSW government has always been clear – we support both the delivery of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan and ensuring the sustainability of regional communities.”
