Speedy response to Baradine fire A fast-moving grass fire razed land just one kilometre from Baradine last week.

by LIZ CUTTS The fire destroyed 7.5 hectares of paddocks, 18 large hay bales and severely damaged fencing along Aerodrome Road on Friday, 10 March.

Residents breathed a collective sigh of relief when the fire was contained without major loss of property, due to the quick action of the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) and assisting agencies.

“We received the call-out to the urban interface on the east side of town just after midday,” said captain of the Baradine RFS brigade, Phil Hensby.

“Upon arrival the fire was on the western side of the road, travelling south, with two houses just 50 metres away.

“It then escalated and jumped to the eastern side of the road into heavily-grassed paddocks.

“T he re was a heav y fuel l oad following three years of rain and the grass was tinder dry and water was just not stopping it, but we continued trying to hold it until more units arrived.

“The fire quickly increased on three fronts and within a 300-metre radius six homes came under threat.”

Mr Hensby said a total of eight units attended the incident.

“RFS crews from Baradine, Bugaldie, Kenebri, Yearinan and Goorianawa were supported by Castlereagh Fire Control, Coonabarabran Fire and Rescue, Warrumbungle Shire Council, with a tractor, slasher and grader, private heavy plant machinery and two fixed-wing aircraft,” Mr Hensby added.

“We also had RFS group captain,

Peter Miller in his vehicle.

“The two aircraft dropped retardant on the fire ground, so if the fire did jump the containment line on the eastern side it would be prevented from going further.

“It was not a big fire, but the speed it travelled was incredible, so it was hard to hold; everything was thrown at stopping it.”

Fire monitoring continued into the evening once containment l ines around the fire and the six houses under threat had been established.

“If the wind had changed, the fire would have been a threat to the town,” Mr Hensby said.

“More than 20 people assisted; it was a quick response and all the agencies worked well together.

“The good end result was due to the combined team effort of all agencies involved. Thanks go to everyone for all the wonderful support.”

The RFS is reminding ever yone about the dangers of grass fire and asking residents to be mindful.

“There are huge fuel loads of dry grass everywhere following years of wet weather,” concluded Mr Hensby.

“These types of fires are dangerous because they are so unpredictable, they start easily and spread quickly.

“In fact, grass fires can move three times faster than a bush fire, leaving you little time to get ready.” “ It i s i m po r tant that eve r yone understands g rass f i res and how to protect themselves, family and p ro pe r t y f ro m th e th reat of f i re and that there continues to be an increased risk of grass fires even as we head into the cooler months.”

Determination made on Dunedoo’s plagued Three Rivers project A resolution has finally been met between Warrumbungle Shire Council and contractor, Boulus Constructions, which was responsible for the Three Rivers Regional Retirement Community project in Dunedoo.

by CHRIS WARD A ll legal action on b ot h side s h a s b e en withdrawn, with both pa r ties ag reei ng t o mediation terms and the contract being terminated “for convenience”.

Warrumbungle Shire C ou nc i l m ayor, C r Ambrose Doolan said he was relieved the process was finalised. “ It has been a long time coming and as the

situation unfolded it was costing Council every month,” Cr Doolan said. “ I f a n ag reement h ad n’t b e en met we weren’t going to get a court date before 2025 and it could have resulted in millions of dollars in legal fees.

“So, we feel this was by far the best option for everyone involved and we settled in line with the terms of the contract.

“Now with that over

with we are looking to put this behind us and move forward.”

Cr Doolan said part of moving forward included deciding what to do with the existing site.

EnergyCo has been approached to investigate whether the site could be used as part of the massive renewable energ y project in the area. “ I d e a l l y, i f i t ’s suitable, they could use

it to construct workers accommodation and once their project is complete it could be handed back to the community as a legacy item,” Cr Doolan said. “ T h at ’s one of the options we’re looking at for the moment.”

T h e $ 7. 9 m i l l i o n Three Rivers Retirement Community project was to consist of 27 units, a community centre and garden.

New River Road speed limits now in force Transport for NSW have taken the old adage ‘if it aint broke don’t fix it’ and thrown it in the bin.

Despite there being no accidents recorded in the area in the past five years, the government body has altered the speed limit along River Road.

Heading in an easterly direction out of Coonabarabran the speed limit has changed from 50 kilometres per hour to 60 km/h. The new zone will begin approximately 60 metres past the East Street intersection.

It will continue for 860 metres taking up a section of road that was formerly 100 km/h.

Transport for NSW Director West, Alistair Lunn said a speed limit review was conducted at the request of Warrumbungle Shire Council to improve safety along the eastern route into the town.

“The review assessed a number of factors including the road environment such as potential hazards, clear zones and adjacent development, the road usage including traffic volumes and types of vehicles, the number of property accesses and intersections along the route and the crash history,” Mr Lunn said.

“Whilst there have been no crashes recorded in the

past five years, there are several property accesses as well as a significant intersection leading into the Coonabarabran Golf Club.

“Previously, the speed limits heading east out of town on River Road changed from 50km/h to 100km/h with the S-bends being in the 100km/h speed zone, which was a known route for bicycle riders so there was a risk that cyclists may not be seen on the S-bends on the road.

“The new 60km/h speed limit has been introduced for the safety of all road users travelling on this section of River Road.”

Let’s get this party started Arrangements are underway for the first ever pride event in the Warrumbungles, with an impressive itinerary of entertainment, music and market stalls set to brighten up Coonabarabran’s Neilson Park at the end of the month.

Loading...broadband boost heading this way Faster, reliable internet has been difficult to achieve in regional towns, however, a new partnership promises a broadband boost for the bush.

by LIZ CUTTS The NBN Co and the NSW Government have announced a co-investment deal that will roll out en ha nced broadba nd services to Coonabarabran, Baradine and Binnaway.

The partnership will see an upgrade to f u l l f ibr e for el ig ible Coonabarabran residents and the installation of fixed wireless through the construction or co-location of new f i xed w i reless towers in Baradine and Binnaway that will utilise 5 G m i l l i metre wave technology to help deliver faster internet speeds.

Additional premises in Coonabarabran will be able to have fibre connected to their house or business by ordering a suitable wholesale speed tier and the towns of Baradine and Binnaway will be able to connect to the internet using high speed 5G fixed wireless. “ T he prog ram w i l l enable homes and businesses currently in

the NBN satellite footprint, such as the area around Coonabarabran and the towns of Binnaway and Baradine, to access NBN fixed wireless services for t he f i r st t i me ,” a spokesperson for the NBN Co said. “ T his is the next step in the evolution of the network. In order to upgrade the NBN fixed wireless network, we are using a combination of existing technology, new software and integrating the latest 5G technology to vastly extend the range, speed and capacity of our existing fixed wireless network.

“Homes and businesses w it h i n t he f i xe d l i ne footprint in Coonabarabran will be able to benefit from the full f ibre upg rade program.”

NBN Co said this project means that people who benefit from the new fixed wireless towers will also experience the advantages of the parallel upgrade program including busy period speeds of 50Mbps

(download), by the end of 2024. “ O ver t he nex t few months we will commence detailed planning and engage with the community as to when the upgrades w i l l o ccu r. T he whole project will be completed by end of December 2025.

“We encourage people to register their address on our website to find out more information about which upgrade program they may be eligible for.”

Background Background information provided by the NBN Co states that the integration of next generation 5G technology will help extend the ra nge , spe ed a nd capacity of the NBN fixed wireless network, while reducing latency to deliver the best possible customer experience.

The user’s experience, i n c lud i n g t he s p e e d s actually achieved, depend on the N BN access network technology and configuration over which services are delivered to the premises and some factors,

Coonabarabran technical expert, Rob Dean said the proposed NBN broadband upgrades are good news.

such as equipment quality, software, broadband plan, sig n a l r e c ept ion , a nd how the service provider designs its network.

Speeds may a lso be impacted by the number of concurrent users on the NBN fixed wireless network, including during busy periods.

Coonabarabran t e ch n ica l ex per t , R ob Dean said that 5G provides better and faster internet speeds and should be more reliable.

“5G is more applicable to the mobile phone side of things and will give better access to the internet when using your phone,” explained Mr Dean.

“As far as a home desktop computer goes, it depends on how you connect to the internet. Whether you use your phone as a hotspot or use an ordinary modem/ ADSL; that’s where fibre technology comes in.

“A s I u ndersta nd it from the information on fixed wireless currently available, you have to have a wireless access point and a modem in the house that can pick it up by using an aerial connection on the roof.

“Fixed wireless will most benefit those currently getting 4G. To get the faster speed, you will need a phone with 5G capabilities.

“It is a big change, but it will be a newer technology and there will no longer be the need for ADSL, which is old and slow.

“Questions I would be asking are what will the cost of installing a fixed wireless receiver be, and if you would need an up-todate modem with a special sim card on a data plan.

“As yet, we don’t know what the costs will be, if any, but overall, it is good news.”

More information on all aspects of this NBN upgrade should be available after the NSW Government election at the end of this month

Crime spate: reward offered The Baradine community is being urged to keep property secure and report suspicious activity following a spate of thefts and vandalism.

by LIZ CUTTS A spate of thefts and burglaries in Baradine in recent weeks has police reminding residents to report all crimes or suspicious activity.

Tools and equipment have been taken from the Baradine Bowling Club, the Multi-Purpose Health Services Centre, Camp Cypress Holiday Camp, National Parks and Wildlife machinery sheds and ASM garage, as well as thefts of fuel from private premises.

Business owners and residents say they are fed up with the repeat incidents of break-ins, theft, and vandalism.

Baradine Bowling Club president, Adrian Worrell said the break-in at the club was a huge

disappointment for the volunteers who work hard to maintain the premises and purchase equipment.

“It seems that we have people walking around in our community who think this is acceptable behaviour,” Mr Worrell said.

“We have taken the initiative and are offering a $1000 reward for information that leads to an arrest and conviction for any of the incidents that have happened lately.

“Police are responding to calls for assistance from those affected by these crimes and are working hard to identify the offenders.

“But it is vital that incidents are reported as quickly as possible, otherwise action cannot be taken.”

Warrumbungle Shire Council reported that Baradine urban services’ staff were disappointed to find that the kiosk at Baradine Oval had been vandalised.

Team members attending the sports oval to complete maintenance works noticed a large hole in the kiosk roller door.

Not only did the hole have jagged edges causing a safety hazard, but this type of senseless vandalism also comes at a cost to the community.

Council said that in addition to the financial cost, it also takes staff away from planned works that must be pushed aside to deal with these types of issues.

Police NSW said that they are viewing the incidents as opportunistic

and reiterate the need to report any crimes, no matter how small.

They advise everyone to take precautionary steps to deter criminals by always locking cars and homes, not leaving keys out in view and to consider installing alarm systems, sensor lights or CCTV. Report crime If anyone has information to provide to police through Crime Stoppers, it can be reported online at www. nsw.crimestoppers.com. au/home or call 1800 333 000 (24/7).

Residents can also report any type of criminal activity by phoning the Police Assistance Line on 131 444 or the Baradine Police on 6841 8100.

Baradine Bowling Club vice-president, Josh Evans is appalled by the damage to the storage shed and theft of equipment.

Council’s commitment to providing ongoing opportunities for youth within the Shire will allow these new recruits to undertake study while gaining hands-on practical experience in the workplace over the next two years.

Year 11 students Wyatt Ernest, Riley Dunne and Caileb Neal will spend one day per week working for Council for the next two years while they complete a recognised qualification

as part of their Higher School Certificate studies.

“School-based traineeships are a fantastic way to ensure local students have a successful transition from school to work or further study,” said Warrumbungle Shire Council mayor, councillor Ambrose Doolan.

“This program provides a great opportunity for local students to gain onthe-job experience and a nationally accredited, industry recognised

qualification while completing their Higher School Certificate.

“Council advertised a range of school-based trainee opportunities in September 2022 and a merit-based selection process was completed before offering the schoolbased traineeships to the three students.

“Council’s School-Based Traineeship Program aims to improve future employment opportunities for students, both locally

and further afield.”

This new cohort joins Council’s three existing school-based trainees who have now commenced the second and final year of their traineeships in the fields of Supply Chain Operations, Business Administration and Accounts Administration.

“Congratulations again to our three successful applicants,” concluded Cr Doolan.

It’s showtime in Baradine Visitors to this year’s Baradine Show can expect some great entertainment and fun.

by LIZ CUTTS The Baradine Pastoral, Agricultural and Horticultural Association (PA&H) is getting ready to put on another memorable event, with the focus on enjoyment and amusement for all the family.

When the 2023 show kicks off on Saturday,18 March, there will be a feast for all the senses.

Those game enough can compete in the thrills and spills of the mechanical bull ride. There will be a speed shear competition, motorbike barrel races, ring events, livestock competitions, a most unusual pet competition for children, amusements, food and craft stalls, exhibits and displays – all coming to a spectacular conclusion with fantastic display of fireworks.

Members of the Baradine PA&H Association have been preparing the showground and getting pavilions ready for the iconic local event.

“There will be some great attractions and lots

of fun to be had,” said Baradine Show president, Lauren Harris.

“We always have concerns about the future of the show; but we have weathered a lot over past years including COVID lockdown, drought and economic slump, yet once again we will be putting on a great event.

“The focus as always is o n c o m m unit y and providing an entertaining family day out. Entry into the show includes all the usual ring events, livestock judging and kids’ fun activities.

“We are excited to announce the return of the popular speed shear, which will feature some of our best regional shearers in competition for some great prizes. This event is now turning into a sport and we want to celebrate that and the importance of the shearing industry to our town. We are hoping this event draws a big crowd.

“The Baradine CWA is throwing out the ultimate men’s cooking challenge, this year seeking entries in

the sponge cake category, while there will be prizes for children in the Most Unusual Small Pet Competition.

“For something more unusual we will be a u cti o n i n g o f f th e opportunity for the highest bidder on the night to use a 100-year-old blasting box to set off the fireworks display. Who will be the champion to light the spark?

“This year admission can be paid at the gate and I remind patrons, that it is cash only.”

Ms Harris believes agricultural shows are just as relevant now as they always have been.

“Baradine Show is a very authentic country event with a lot of enthusiastic volunteers involved in making it happen,” she added.

“It is not only an entertaining event, but a really good source of information on businesses and services in our region.

“That’s our focus – to provide a really good diverse experience.”

Members of the Baradine show committee are ready for another great event.

Wedge-tailed eagle released in Warrumbungles Sadly, injured wildlife cannot always be rehabilitated, but a wedge-tailed eagle beat the odds and was recently returned to its original habitat and, hopefully, to its mate.

by CHRIS WARD An amazing sight was captured last week when a wedgetailed eagle was released back into the wild after the injured animal was rescued and rehabilitated.

The scene was made all the more rema r kable by the location and backdrop of the release, which occur red at Siding Spring Observatory on Wednesday, 8 March.

T h e b i rd h a d b een fo u n d at t h e b ot to m of the valley from the release point and the s p ot wa s c h o s e n fo r more than just the incredible view.

Sue Brookhouse, who rescued the bird, said the eagle’s mate was most l i kely sti l l i n the area and waiting for its return. “ W h e re i t ’s b e i n g released is just up the mountain from where h e w a s f o u n d ,” M r s Brookhouse said.

“He was found b y a N a t i o n a l Pa r k s f ield of f icer who was conducting weed spraying in the area.

“He was laying in a dried-up creek bed with an injured foot and was very dehydrated.”

Mrs Brookhouse managed to safely capture the bi rd and

ca red fo r it at her residence before send i ng it on it s way t o D u b b o’s Ta r o n g a a n d We s te r n Pl a i n s Zoo, where it was rehabi l itated i n the faci l it y’s new Wi ldl ife Hospital.

Mrs Brookhouse said s h e d i d n’ t h o l d t o o much hope fo r the animal considering the injury it had sustained, so was surprised when the zoo called and said the bird was ready to return to the wild.

“Usua l l y w ith those sorts of injuries it’s not a very good outcome,” she said. “ It’s usua l l y a one way tr ip to the zoo – they don’t come back. “ B u t I g ot t h e ca l l after a few weeks which real ly took me by surprise. “ T h ey s a i d h i s fo ot had come good and he was ready to go.”

Mrs Brookhouse said how the bird came to be injured was a complete mystery.

“Even the staff at the zoo couldn’t tell what happened,” she said.

“When I rescued him it was obvious he wasn’t using his foot and it felt cold to the touch, which can i nd icate ne r ve damage. It was clear it wasn’t working.

“But he just needed some food and TLC and

he came good.”

Mrs Brookhouse said i t wa s ex p e cte d t h i s pa r ticula r bi rd was a male from its colouring and its smaller size, with females usually being much larger.

On ave rage, t wo wed g e -ta i l ed ea g l es a re ta ken i nto ca re each year.

Mrs Brookhouse said m os t of th e t i m e th e animal s suf fer from collision injuries.

She warned motorists to take care when they see an eagle on the side of the road feeding on roadkill.

“T h ey h ave a c ro p a n d t h ey f i l l i t u p to feed on later and when they go to take off they ca n b e h e a v i e r a n d slower and take longer to take off, so dr ivers s h o u l d s l ow d ow n to avoid hitting them,” Mrs Brookhouse said.

• GAMILARAAY WORD OF THE WEEK •

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

This week’s Gamilaraay word of the week is Warrul, meaning ‘worker bee’, ‘bee’s nest’, or ‘honey’.

‘Warrul’ – worker bee, bee’s nest, honey

Coulton tours Castlereagh revitalisation Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton was in Coonabarabran recently to check out the work being undertaken on the Castlereagh River.

One of the stages of the overall project was funded and recently completed than ks to a $75,0 0 0 g r a nt f r om t he L o c a l Roads and Community Infrastructure ( L RCI ) program.

The work involved the planting of 170 0 local riparian plants and 10 kilograms of grass seed throughout 220 metres of riverbank.

A s well as that, essential native habitat was created by including r ipa r ia n snags, tree hol lows a nd fau na movement corridors.

Mr Coulton said he was glad to see the funding went to such a worthwhile project. “ The people of Coonabarabran have been actively involved with this project and I commend

ever yone for the work they have put in which has greatly enhanced the health and appearance of the Castlereagh River,” he said. “ It is a wonder f u l investment and I tr ust it w i l l resu lt i n environmental benefits on this stretch of river for years to come.”

Warrumbungle Shire C ou nc i l mayor, C r Ambrose Doolan was on site to greet Mr Coulton a nd sa id not on ly d id the community benefit from an overall healthier r iver, but t he pr oje c t had brought residents together. “ L o n g- t e r m r e s u lt s from the project will be improving fish habitat and water quality along the Castlereagh River, wh i c h i s p a r t o f t h e

Murray-Darling Basin,” Cr Doolan explained. “ I n add it ion t o t he environmental benefits, it was great to see a project l i ke th is br i ng people together. A community planting day and barbecue was held on site, which attracted 75 community members to participate in planting.”

This project was the first stage of works to revitalise the Castlereagh River, with the next stage set to build on the LRCI Program. “ T he Castlereagh R i v e r b a n k a t Coonabarabran has b e c ome a n ac c e s s i ble and picturesque picnic and fishing spot, conveniently located near the Castlereagh Highway for locals and tourists to enjoy,” Cr Doolan said.

Warrumbungle Shire Council’s director of technical services, Gary Murphy and mayor Ambrose Doolan met with Mark Coulton to assess some of the work which has been undertaken on the Castlereagh riverbank.

COONABARABRAN SHOW: 10-11 MARCH 2023

Dashing good fun There was something for everyone at this year’s annual Coonabarabran Show, with some exciting new events as well as the usual crowd favourites.

by JIMMY WHALAN President of the Coonabarabran PAI&H Association, Callen Thompson said last weekend’s event had been h a i l ed a g reat success.

Although awaiting final attendance figures, Mr Thompson was confident the event was wel l supported both locally and by visitors from other towns. “ We h a d a l o t o f people through the gates and all of our events were well attended and well p at ro n i s e d, s o we’re comfortable that we’ve ticked those boxes,” Mr Thompson said.

Among some of the n ewe r eve nt s at t h i s year’s show were the dachshund races.

A seemingly popular dog breed among the Coonaba rab ran community, the inaugural Coonabarabran Show dachshund races proved to be a hit.

“We were joking that there might have been more people watching it than the rodeo,” he laughed.

“The g randstands were packed with people watching the dachshunds compete

for victory.

“We had to run three heats to fit all of the furry competitors in!”

With some of the pooches being as unpredictable as they are playful, the races made for a fun event to watch. “ F r o m t h e s ta r t to the end p ret t y much anything can happen. “ So m e r u n f l at o ut straight towards thei r owner, some stop and play and muck around w it h t h e ot h e r d o g s, and some just run in the opposite direction.”

With the success of the Coona Show’s newest event, Mr Thompson said that there were plans to make the dachshund races a Coona Show staple.

“If people are going to bring their dogs in, we might be able to organise a few more events for next year to make the sausage dog races even more fun.”

Apart from all things dachshund racing, Mr Thompson said other show events and competitions were equally well supported. “ T h e r e w e r e approximately 90 competito r s fo r the rodeo, which is a

really strong rodeo for Coonabarabran.

“There were also a lot of younger competitors this year, which was great to see.”

This year’s show also marked the second year of the motorbike barrel race, with more entrants coming through as well as some big crowds.

The Ag bike challenge also saw the addition of kid’s class by event.

“We had a lot of kids enter this year - normally it would be an adult only event, so we had to remove some obstacles to make sure it was safe, but it was good to see some up - and- coming ag bike competitors,” Mr Thompson said.

Another popular spectacle was the car, tractor, and truck s h o w, w h i c h h e l p e d to showcase local businesses who brought their trucks in and organised the event.

“Pruggers even brought along a water truck and kept the roads watered and the dust down, which was much appreciated.”

While shows in previous years were impacted by Covid-19, Mr Thompson gave credit to the hardworking Coonabarabran

s h o w c o m m i t te e fo r b r i ng i ng the event together each year.

“We’ve got a strong committee and we’re always open to more people getting involved and joining, we’d love a few more members.

“Our committee has worked amazingly hard, particularly over the last couple of months, though it does take us the whole 12 months to get the show up and running.”

Mr Thompson also ex te n d e d h i s t h a n k s to BlazeAid, who had been helping with the s h ow s i n ce t h e 2 013 Wambelong bushfire.

“This is BlazeAid’s 10th year helping out with the show, and I think a big part

of their being involved was their friendship with Bob Fenwick, who has been a massive part of the show over the years and who sadly passed away last year.”

“BlazeAid aren’t from our community, but they come in their caravans in the week leading up to the show, and to be honest, without them, we would struggle to get the work done to make the show possible,” Mr Thompson said.

Other communit y g r o u p s t h a t h e l p to make the show possible include the showground trust, who manage the showground and have maintained the grounds to make them look as

good as they did over the show weekend.

Mr Thompson said local schools had also contributed to the show in many ways, including the Coonaba rab ran Public School P&C who l ed t h e c l ea n u p o n Sunday, Coonabarabran High School manning the gates and St Lawrence’s Public School who helped support the sheep section, with many students attending to lead sheep.

“It’s also an opportunity fo r ot h e r co m m u n i t y groups to do a bit of fundraising,” Mr Thompson said.

“We had the Kookas rugby team doing the barbecue at the bar, as

well as Rotary who did a barbecue and sold cold drinks. “ So, t h e re’s l ot s of community groups getting involved to make the show happen.”

Look i ng fo r wa rd to n ex t yea r’s s h ow, M r T hom pson sa id the re were some exciting new plans in the works.

“In our next meeting, we’l l have a bit of a whiteboard session where we’ll sit down and work out what things we’ll change and events we might add.”

“We’l l let the community know as we get closer, but sometimes it’s good to build a bit of suspense too.”

COONABARABRAN SHOW: 10-11 MARCH 2023

Hot competition at Coona Show There were bucking bulls and dashing dachshunds, but perhaps vegetables were the star of the 2023 Coonabarabran Show.

by CHRIS WARD If this year’s Coonabarabran Show is anything to go by, it will remain a fun and successful event for years to come.

While thousands of peop l e ventu red th roug h the g ates, it was the sheer number of entrants to many of the competitions that buoyed organisers such a sCoonabarabran PAI&H Association president, Callen Thompson.

N ot o n l y w e r e t h e number of entrants on the rise in the vegetable g row i n g sect i o n a n d other categor ies, but M r Thompson said he was happy to see more youngsters get involved.

“We don’t have the numbers back just yet, but we definitely saw an increase in the vegetable g row i ng sections of competition,” he said.

“A n d w h a t w a s a rea l l y g ood s i g n wa s the number of kids who entered.

“We actually had to m a ke m o re ro o m fo r them.

“It’s a really good sign for the coming years.”

Mr Thompson said weather conditions leading up to the show were not conducive to gardening or vegetable growing and that the entries were a testament to ever yone who entered.

He said the vegetable growing competition was backed up by the newly formed Coonabarabran Communit y Garden Group, which sponsored different categories.

“We didn’t get any really massive pumpkins or anything like that,” he said. “ It h a s been rea l l y difficult growing conditions of late because it stayed cold a lot longer, so anyone who managed to enter anything into the show did really well.”

The Show president said the art and photo catego r ies we re wel l suppor ted by the s c h o o l s i n tow n , t h e rodeo was popular and even the newly-added dachshund race was a crowd-pleaser.

“The rodeo was great, we had upwards of 90 ent rants fo r that,” M r Thompson explained.

“A n d t h e r e w e r e so many people in at tendance fo r the d a ch s h u n d ra ces o n Saturday. It was really popular.”

Mr Thompson urged anyone interested in sharing their ideas, volunteering or joining the Show Committee to attend future meetings.

“We’re always looking to make it bigger and better and always looking for new ideas a n d p e o p l e to h e l p implement them. Many hands make light work!”

The vegetable growing competition was well represented at the Coonabarabran Show.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Saint Lawrence’s A m a s s i v e congratulations to Emma Johnston, Aaliyah Milford, Ava Milford, Mia F r e eba i r n , S ava n n a h Swanson, Daley F lood and Henley F lood who represented the western region, and St Lawrence’s, at the Diocesan swimming carnival in Dubbo last week. T hese students swam amazingly well and they also came away with some fantastic results and PB’s.

To swim at this level of competition within the diocese is an incredible a c h ie v eme nt a nd t he students should be very proud of their effor ts.

Training won’t stop there however! Daley and Henley, t oget her w it h E m ma , Aaliyah, Mia and Ava, have made it through to the next level of competition in Sydney this month. What a fantastic achievement and the school community are so proud of you all. Go Lawries!

St Lawrence’s agricultural team, consisting of student from Years 5 and 6, displayed thei r excel lent sheep handling skills at last weekend’s Coonabarabran Show, walking away with a swag-full of ribbons for their efforts. The students, along with Mrs McGoldrick

Coonabarabran Public and Mrs Wright, have been preparing the sheep for several weeks now during their lunchtime.

The sheep have become very quiet and easy to handle and they obviously enjoy the students’ company and companionship. It is a huge commitment from the students and their families to attend the agriculture shows and we thank them all for their support with this valuable prog ram within the school.

The agriculture students will continue to handle and lead the sheep in readiness for the Baradine Show and the big one – the Sydney Royal Easter Show!

After months of practice which commenced last yea r, 2 0 students lef t bright and early for Sydney on the bus they shared with Coonamble High to Pulse Alive 2023.

Ms Maddi and Mrs Mel Evans took our team to a performing arts dance festival which attracts showcases participants from all over the state and comprises over 3000 students in total.

CPS shard the stage with 280 other dancers in their main dance. Our students proudly outdid themselves by performing for two n ights at Ken Rosewall Arena, Olympic Park Sydney; the second per formance was by special invitation.

While they were away dancing the rest of us e nj oy e d t he r ewa r d s ’ afternoon for our hard work and diligence in the classroom and positive behaviour throughout the school. Those students who have been upholding the school values were

acknowledged with a fun afternoon. The activities on offer ranged from card games to yoga and sticker making.

One of the highlights was Mr Yabsley and his

amazing bagpipe lesson!

Some students chose to brave the heat and played touch football with Mr Flynn, they all had a great time outside. There were so many exciting activities

to pick from, it was very hard to decide.

T hank you to our students who continue to do the right thing at school, there will be many more rewards to come.

St Lawrence’s students performed well at the Diocesan swimming carnival.

Tooraweenah Public Technology fun Using Bluebots during technology lessons has developed student skills in position, planning and patterning as well as coding. Students have been greatly enjoying the challenges, which for Kindergarten included coding Bluebots to go to a place on the grid and then return home. The years 1/2/4 students were zoologists or biologists, travelling the world on the Bluebots (on the world map) to see endemic animals in their natural habitat.

We are very thankful to Petria for leading these lessons.

STEPs to Success With Kindergarten students now proficient in recognising their first 18 sounds (known as graphs), students have been practicing reading, segmenting and blending two, three and four letter words. This week we will be using these sounds in a

variety of activities. Next week, Kindergarten will be learning their first twoletter sounds (known as digraphs) such as “ai as

in rain”.

Our Kindergarten students’ conscientious efforts in class have been impressing their teachers.

Greyhound track Free men’s health checks save lives gone to the dogs The greyhound racing track in Coonabarabran remains idle, with few clues available about future use.

by CHRIS WARD The future of the Coonabarabran greyhound racing track seems t o be sh r ouded in mystery for the time being.

The facility has been sitting largely unused for about three years since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit and racing at the track was shut down.

After repeated attempts from the Coonabarabran

Times to find out what the future holds for the site, the governing body (GRNSW ), replied with what can only be described as a cryptic response. “ G R N S W h a s m ade re cord i nvestments at core central tracks i n D ubbo, Gun neda h a nd Ta mwor th , wh ich have been welcomed by Coonabarabran trainers who have go od ac cess t o t he s e t r a c k s ,” t he spokesperson said.

“Increased prize money and welfare investments into track safety have b e en ou r fo c u s i n a l l regions, and these have been well received in the Central West and New England regions. “ We a r e e x t r e m e l y positive about the f utu re of g reyhound racing in these regions and look forward to the ne x t a n n ou n c eme nt s , including developments at Coonabarabran that fit

within our broader plans for increased prize money and the safest tracks.”

T he C o on abarabran Times asked for clarification as to just what GR NS W mea nt i n the resp on se. T h is included explanations of time frames and what they meant by “developments at Coonabarabran.”

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, t h e spokesperson refused to elaborate further on any of the topics.

There’s no excuse for not getting a health check, with free consultations and screening services available in Coonabarabran next week.

‘Saving men’s lives’ is the catch cry of the Rotary Men’s Health Education Rural Van (MHERV).

The van will be conducting health checks outside All Pressed Up (formerly Grace’s Uniforms) in Dalgarno Street, Coonabarabran on Monday, 20 March and Tuesday, 21 March from 9.30am to 3.30pm.

MHERV is an initiative of the Rotary Club of Warners Bay, in collaboration with local Rotary clubs and other community groups in each area it visits.

With the support of the Royal Freemasons Benevolent Institution a Registered Nurse undertakes free basic check ups for men and women.

The purpose-built

MHERV van is staffed by male registered nurse, Bill Power.

It offers free of charge health screening services for blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar (diabetes).

The consultation takes about 10 minutes and provides immediate results, helping to improve health outcomes.

Bill has the knack of being able to relax even the most stressed clients.

During the confidential consultation, Bill takes the opportunity to also chat about other health-related concerns, including state of mind.

This service is offered in a relaxed, confidential and informal setting under COVID-safe guidelines.

The nurse submits a daily report to the program

management team at Rotary Club of Warners Bay, from which statistics are gathered.

Over the last four years the results have averaged approximately four per cent who have required urgent attention; around 40 per cent are advised to follow up on something with their GP in the next week; and 56 per cent are encouraged to keep up the good work.

Over the past four years the van has seen over 12,000 people, so it has potentially saved over 450 people from a severe health event.

So, the message is: don’t walk past, come in and meet registered nurse, Bill, for a free health check.

WEATHER WATCH It has continued to very d r y in Per th and a lso at many other places in the southern regions of Western Australia.

Perth went through 51 successive days without any rainfall.

There were 10 other times in the last 146 years when Perth went 50 days or more i n suc cession without any rain. These occurred in 1888, 1903, 1911, 1923, 1956, 1964, 19 75 , 19 87, 2 010 a nd 2014. The most number of days without rain in Perth was 83 days in 1975.

T h is impacted upon our regions for the rest of those years on nearly all these cases by providing a wetter-than-average year, more so in Victoria but less in Queensland.

The autumn season out of these cases from Perth tended to be drier and warmer than usual in our regions.

T he f irst 12 days of March has seen maximum t emp er at u r e s not ably above normal for the first month in nearly a year.

M a x i m u m temperatures to date at Coonaba rabran, R oma and St George have been three degrees above the March normal; about two deg rees above norma l at Dubbo; and a fraction ab ove nor ma l f u r ther south and actually cooler than normal at places in the south west of Victoria, wh ich has had h igher rainfalls.

T he p a s t we ek h a s seen heavy to flood rains

around Burketown and Century Mine, with record March totals, Mt Isa, Julia Creek and Camooweal, which recorded 400mms – its wettest March in 130 years of records.

The heavy rain at these places kept ma x i mum temperatures well down on normal.

Camooweal recorded its coldest M a rch day since 1956, while Mt. Isa recorded its coldest March day with 21.2 since 21.1 degrees in 1959.

Further south, Ba rca ld i ne recorded its coldest M a rch day since 1973 and Blackall recorded its coldest March day since 1965.

Both places recorded maxima of 22 degrees, ne a rly s e ven de g r e e s

below normal.

Useful rains occurred du r i n g l a s t we ekend .

Miles recorded 82.6mms to last Sunday morning, 12 March. This was the town’s wettest March day since 105mms fell on 15 March 1937.

Ta mwor t h r e c or de d 6 6mms, the wettest March day for 10 years, while Gunnedah recorded 55.6mms and Moree 48mms.

The small low-pressure trough which brought this rain is now decaying and then wa r mer a nd d r y conditions are expected to resume in our regions and may last until after 21 March.

On Sunday night, 12 March, 113mms fell at Temora and this was the town’s wettest March day there since 1982. This actually looks like bad news, as 1982 was a bad drought year from April onwards.

Further north, Surat had 63mms, taking the March rainfall to above average for the month.

Lou Coulton chipped her ball into the second hole on Wednesday, giving her a par on this hole. Well done, Lou. On Saturday, on the very last hole, Jan Keppie putted her ball from off the green to gain her gobbler.

The overall winner of the John Tilborghs and Steve Morrissey Monthly Medal was M ichelle Murphy, who had a net 74.

Michelle had an outstanding back nine, scoring four shots over par. Well done, Michelle.

Coonamble Races Sunday, 12 March You ng g u n tra i ners Cl i nt Lu nd hol m a nd Brett Robb are off to Royal Randwick in April for a

shot at the $500,000 prize money on offer for the Country Championship after Listen To The Band and Sizzle M in izzle qualified for the final, before a big crowd on Sunday at Coonamble.

Both trainers are based at Dubbo, with Lundholm being reared at Coonamble and Robb formerly from Nyngan.

The Lundholm-trained Listen To The Band is building a remarkable record, winning five of the six starts since an injury enforced two-year absence from the racetrack.

Despite now being an eight -yea r- old , L ist en To T he Band has only raced nine times and is improving with every run, while the Robb-trained Sizzle Minizzle is also

lightly raced and appears an outstanding prospect.

In the $150,000 Western R acing A ssociation Country Championships Q u a l i f i e r o v e r 14 0 0 metres, Listen To T he Band began quickly from a wide barrier and took the early lead from Boom Boom Basil, Amulet Street and Ferus.

Challenged in the straight, Listen To The B a nd (Ja ke P raceyHolmes, $6.50) fought on gamely to win by a neck from Sizzle Minizzle (Brooke Stower, $10), with the third, fourth and fifth place getters – Smooth Esprit (Ben Looker, $21), Hit The Rim (Serg Lisnyy) and Watch Me Rumble (A shley Morgan) – all being trained by Clint Lundholm.

Jake Pracey-Holmes is riding in sensational form and he earlier combined w it h C l i nt L u nd hol m for an all-the-way win with Avalicious ($2.20 favou r ite), f rom R iver Rocket (Braith Nock, $6) and Boho Chick (Grant Buckley, $7), in the 1400 metres B enchma rk 58 Showcase Handicap.

Now a successful trainer at Wyong, Damien Lane began his career at Coonamble and he was back home for the day to win the 1100 metres Wellington Boot PreludeTwo-Year Old Handicap with Sparkingly.

Given a nice run behind the leader, Sparkingly (Grant Buckley, $3.80) raced clea r t o w i n by almost two lengths from Chandon Star (Clayton

Gallagher, $17) and Devine Chops, $1.55 favourite).

Spa rk i ngly is now exempt from the ballot for the $200,000 Wellington Boot on 26 March, a race the popular Damien Lane won in 2021 with Sonnet Star.

Wrapping up a great day’s racing at Coonamble, the Brett Robb trained D’Arpano (Jake Barrett, $5.50) tracked the leaders, then finished best to beat Hiraishin (Chelsea Hillier, $3.20 favourite) and In The Road (Jake PraceyHolmes, $11) in the 1100 metres Country Boosted Benchmark 58 Showcase Handicap. xxxx Racing at Narromine (transferred from Trangie) on Saturday, 18 March, and at Orange on Sunday.

Kookas kick off Zoe wins with 43 points under lights The Coonabarabran Kookaburras Rugby Club will begin the defence of their 2022 premiership with a trial game against the Coolah Roos this Friday evening at 7pm.

T he K ookas have attracted some wonderful numbers at training this year, with 15 to 20 players regularly turning up at different times out of close to 30 players registered so far.

Coaches, Peter Redden and Sam Clifton are enthused by the commitment so far, although some players need be a bit more consistent. It would be terrible for players to miss out on game time because the coaches do not think you are fit enough – or worse, get an injury and miss months of the season.

We have a few new faces to mention in Tylor Ballard, brothers Tom and Sam Cleary, Cody Higgins, Alex Knight also returning after spending two seasons out of town playing with Quirindi, and Darcy Clifton, who is giving the 13-man game a spell after playing with the Roosters in their junior development teams. Darcy said he is very excited to be playing rugby with the Kookas this year.

As always, more players are welcome. Rugby’s point of difference is its much valued friendly social and camaraderie atmosphere, so we insist you come along and join up so not to miss out on a wonderful year of fun.

Unfortunately we have lost the skills of Nick Wi l loughby a nd T yler Frazer, who have moved over to play on number one oval. We will certainly

miss these guys, love them like family and they know they are always welcome at the Kookas at any time.

Nonetheless, we wish them and the Unicorns all the best this season on their return to the Castlereagh Cup. Un for tu nat ely, Tom Redden is going to miss half the season as he recovers from shoulder surgery, so the Kookaburras are a very light on for someone to wear the number 10 shirt this season, however there is a golden opportunity there.

My favourite player in the world at the moment is the Scotland 5/8, Finn Russell, who plays for one of the world’s richest clubs, Racing 92, based in Paris, and earns around $1.6 million a season, plus $20,000 every time he pulls on a Scotland shirt, making him one of the highest paid rugby players on earth.

N o w, y o u a r e n o t going to earn anything playing number 10 for Coonabarabran; in fact, it will cost you $50 in registration fees. But if you would like to look at the Finn Russell highlight package on You Tube and think, ‘Yep, I could play a little like that. I think I’m up for 30-metre cut out passes, impossible off loads and kicks that find the winger’s chest as he runs over the try line’, I’d suggest speak to the coaches and just say ‘they like to call me Finn’ – and the job could be yours.

News from around the zone is that the competition will back nine clubs, with C oola h and T rang ie returning after battling with player numbers last yea r and G eur ie, who looked very wobbly towards the end of last season, have stated they will be good to go for this season again.

All this is, of course, wonderful news as Austra l ia n r ugby has had their well-published troubles over the last six or seven years, but club rugby seems to be holding on okay; all without any financial support, buggerall television coverage or any promotion from development officers. As a result, rugby seems to evolved into a bunch of good, old-fashioned sporting clubs that are run by the tireless and committed local community members for the joy all.

Season games The Kookas’ first official game will see them host the much-improved Yeoval at home in Coonabarabran on Saturday, 15 April.

Throughout the season there will be 12 games and two byes, with the last match played on 22 July against Wellington in an game – traditionally, the Kookaburras’ toughest task all season. Grand final day will be held on 19 August.

However, before all this starts, we have this Friday’s evening game against the Coolah Roos, which I’m sure will be played with

an encouraging attitude as an incentive for Coolah’s retu r n t o competition games this year.

No one knows better than Coonabarabran the difficult job of starting off again after a season out, so well done Coolah, and let’s get along and support both clubs. A bar and barbecue will operating, so it will be evening worthy of your attendance.

The following weekend the Kookas travel to take on C oonamble for the Warrumbungle Cup, which has fallen by the wayside a little, primarily because Coonamble believes the distance between the two towns is a lot closer if we go to them! As a result, Coonabarabran is currently the holder of the cup due to Coonamble’s forfeits.

In fact, several years ago Paul Neiberding stole the cup from the mantel piece of his late brother-in-law, Alan Deans, and we will be making a enthusiastic defence to return home with the cup.

The annual Ollie Fox day will be held at Warren on 1 April. Hay and Molong are again participating, with a big night promised to follow.

Finishing off we have to acknowledge the passing recently of one of the Kookas’ greatest ever supporters, Andrew Mackay, and I will write tribute to him in next week’s column.

Jo’s Jalopy ready to rally – and cancer research wins!

Two Warrumbungle residents are taking on the challenge to drive thousands of kilometres in an old bomb while raising money for a good cause.

by LIZ CUTTS Tooraweenah farmer, Joseph M iller and his wife, Jo, will be heading out on a fund-raising rally driving an ageing vehicle nicknamed ‘Jo’s Jalopy’, which looks like it would not make it down the road!

The two Jo’s are taking part in their first Shitbox Rally, so called because participants must enter a vehicle worth no more than $1500 with the aim of achieving the unthinkable; drive a cheap car across Australia along some of the most formidable roads.

“We will be driving a 1997 Mitsubishi Triton MK 2WD,” Jo said. “ T he ca r was ver y generously sold to us for a song from friends near Goondiwindi.

“Up and running now, the car is maybe worth $1500, but it does have 470,000km on the clock!

“The name of our team does not relate to anything special, but we thought that Jo’s Jalopy was fitting as both our names are Jo and the definition of a jalopy is ‘an old car in a dilapidated condition’!”

Jo s a id Jo e h a s a n extensive knowledge of most things mechanical.

“At just 17 he rebuilt a HR Holden ute as his first car,” added Jo. “ Coming f rom r u ra l bac k g r ou nd s we b ot h have a solid grounding in basic mechanics. But it’s fingers crossed that nothing major gives way on the trip, although there are support teams on the rally to help diagnose and fix issues as they arise.”

Founded in 2009, Box Rallies has raised well over $30 million for cancer resea rch, w ith thei r chosen beneficiary being the Australian Cancer Council.

O r g a n i s er s s ay t he ra l l ies a re for those who wa nt t o h ave a n advent u r e , who c rave someth i ng d i f ferent , something memorable, but most importantly, it is for those who want to raise much needed money for cancer research.

The 2023 summer rally takes off on 17 March from Rockhampton, taking a challenging route across the A r tesian Basin to Hobart, finishing on 25 March.

“We will be at the start l i ne i n R o ck ha mpt on , although we will be driving the extra kilometres to the start from Tooraweenah,”

Jo said.

“We entered the rally as a way to have some time off from our respective work commitments and to raise awareness and money for cancer research.

“In 2021 we lost a very close friend, Austin Steer, to bowel cancer. This was after finding out a friend from university had also been diagnosed with bowel cancer at just 30 years old, and another close friend with a young family also being diagnosed. “ We all know people whose lives have been impacted by ca ncer and that number sadly continues to grow every day.”

The Shitbox Rally is promoted as a challenge, w ith e ach t wo -per s on team required to raise a minimum of $5,000 (but hopefully a lot more) to participate.

Fund raising “ L a r g e ly, o u r f u nd raising has been by word of mouth and promoting the cause, with donations being directly deposited to our fund-raising page,” Jo explained. “ We a r e d e l i g h t e d to have surpassed our $5000 goal and have now raised over $8000. The

generosity of everyone has blown us away and we are eternally grateful.

“Additionally, we also h av e s e v e r a l i n -k i nd sponsors come on board to help us get Jo’s Jalopy registered and on the road.

“We’ve been following the Shitbox Rallies for ma ny ye a r s a nd w ith every year that went by

“Our little ute is quite low to the ground so we may encounter issues with hitting things underneath it.

“A l s o , t h e l a c k o f clearance may be an issue in boggy situations, but we are hoping for clear and fine weather! “ The air conditioning is on the fritz, so we may

the timing just didn’t seem to fit with our day-to-day life, but we finally bit the bullet and decided to make it happen now. “ It is someth i ng we want to do together, and it is a no-brainer for us to fund raise in this way.

We have also offered to assist as support in future rallies.

have to sweat it out!

“We have been getting a massive amount of support so, hopefully, we will make it all the way to the end!”

Cheers to field day success WEE WAA

By ALI SMITH

journalist@nwcourier.com.au

Close to 100 people flocked to a field day held by Cotton Seed Distributors at its farm between Wee Waa and Narrabri on March 1.

“We had just over 90 people attend the field day with some travelling from St George, Bourke, across the Namoi, and even somebody from Sydney,” said CSD extension and market development lead Peter White.

“We were very happy with how the day went and it was great to see that we were offering an event that people were willing to travel to attend.”

The Namoi Valley research and extension field day was a fantastic opportunity for people in the cotton community to make new connections and grow their knowledge of developments and innovations in the sector.

“Highlights from the day included the turn out, willingness from attendees to interact with our speakers and ask questions and seeing everyone at the end of the day chatting about their learnings from the day,” said Mr White.

“It was great to see growers from multiple valleys discussing cotton well into the evening.”

Mr White explained, “The day and speakers present provided a great opportunity for all attendees to ask questions about the XtendFlex varieties which will be looking to be commercially available next season.

CSD FIELD DAY: Jimmy Lee-Warner and Jock Morrison travelled from Gunnedah to attend the CSD field day held near Wee Waa earlier this month.

“Attendees also had an opportunity to walk into the field and see these lines firsthand.”

Speakers on the day included

Dr Warwick Stiller who gave a CSIRO cotton breeding update, Jack Sharp delivered a Bayer XtendFlex update, CSD’s Bob

Ford and Nick Stewart spoke about stress mitigation trials, and there was a panel discussion focusing on XtendFlex

technology with Mark Cathcart, Andrew Greste, Jeff Hamblin and Steve Windress.

Big roll-up at CSD field day Continued from front page

Other speakers included Chris Teague who gave a presentation about CSD’s digital tools, Emma Lambeth spoke about cotton disease, and Hannah Hartnett’s topic was ‘seedling vigour and seed vigour - there is a difference’.

One of the issues raised during discussions was spray drift management.

“Spray drift is a major issue across the industry at the moment so naturally there were many questions about it,” said Mr White.

“The great thing about these types of events is that not only do we have experts who can provide information and knowledge, but everyone can also learn off each other.”

Dr Michael Bange also delivered a Richard Williams Initiative update at the field day.

The research initiative honours the late Richard Williams for his outstanding contributions to the cotton industry and creation of CSD. Mr Williams was a pioneer of the modern Australian cotton industry: in 1967, he supported the formation of Cotton Seed Distributors, becoming a Director of CSD and in 1968, he became chairman remaining in this role for 21 years.

The Richard Williams Initiative was established to support applied and innovative research investment, to directly benefit the Australian cotton growers.

Research initiatives that will

enhance yield, fibre quality, planting seed quality and the future of the Australian cotton industry will be the focus of this program.

After the presentations, attendees were treated to a delicious barbecue.

Although, it’s always a different story on every farm, Mr White said there was positivity from growers in attendance.

Honour roll unveiled at Emerald Hill EMERALD HILL

By MARIE HOBSON

news@gunnedahtimes.com.au

The century-old community hall at Emerald Hill was the scene of a very poignant gathering when the long-awaited World War I memorial was unveiled.

Gunnedah RSL sub-Branch president John Commins and secretary Jan Commins laid a wreath at the foot of the memorial, along with Emerald Hill Progress Association president Scott McCalman and member Maxine McDonald.

The Ode to the Fallen was recited and the national anthem reverberated throughout the historic hall which opened in April 1922.

John Commins congratulated the progress association committee on securing a grant and having the honour board for the WWI soldiers become a reality.

Although the hall was officially opened just four years after the end of the Great War, no-one is quite sure why a WWI honour board had not been included even though a memorial to those who served in WWII was erected in later years.

Visitors were welcomed by Emerald Hill Progress Association president Scott McCalman with an apology from federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton who was

travelling to Canberra.

Local resident and progress association member, Maxine McDonald, gave a brief history of the quest to have those who enlisted at Emerald Hill for service in the Great War honoured by their community.

“As you can see there is a board to honour WWII veterans, but for some reason not WWI,” Maxine said.

“It is wonderful to finally correct this oversight - we were successful in receiving a ‘Saluting Their Service’ Australian government grant, designed specifically to construct, repair, and maintain war memorials.

“All of these soldiers actually enlisted from Emerald Hill there were others from this area who served but enlisted from Gunnedah and other places Joseph Clonan is from Marys Mount, but he is not named on any other honour board, so we wanted to include him.”

In addition to the servicemen who enlisted, local nurse Annie Egan was included recognising her service at the North Head quarantine centre where she died while caring for returning veterans suffering from the Spanish Flu during the pandemic.

“With the combined efforts of Geordie and Cate Clark and Grace Turner, of Write Right Media for their research ... we are glad to see this project come to fruition,” Maxine said.

Pictured in front of the honour board at Emerald Hill community hall are progress association president Scott McCalman, Geordie Clark (Write Right Media), organiser Maxine McDonald, Gunnedah RSL sub-Branch president John Commins, Gunnedah Woodworkers Club president Dan Birkett, and Vietnam veteran John Connolly.

Maxine thanked local businesses for adding their special touches to complete the event.

She also expressed appreciation to Gunnedah Woodworkers Club president Dan Birkett and members whose combined efforts helped to create the honour board.

Dan Birkett spoke about the process involved in creating the honour board which had taken on a special meaning for the members.

“We were sad to find out that the WWI volunteers had not been

recognised and as some of us are veterans, creating the board gave us great pleasure,” he said.

“The timber we used was sourced from Dorrigo many years ago for a local project and we used the off-cuts - red cedar for the back with maple columns.

“It was a combined effort from our members and the little shelter at the top for the Rising Sun badge was added as it looked out of place by itself.

“We would like congratulate the progress association on making this happen – it meant a lot to us.”

The dedication closed with a delicious morning tea in true country style provided by the catering ladies.

Over the years the historic hall has been the centre of all village celebrations, meetings and other events. In 1946 the hall was packed to welcome home 11 service men and women.

Emerald Hill is steeped in pioneering history, the railway came through in 1881, a subsidised school opened in 1883, St Thomas’ church opened in 1912, and the hall in 1922.

Albert Street site to be home of single Celebration to mark Narrabri Community Garden launch campus Moree Secondary College MOREE Moree Secondary College’s Albert Street site will become the home of the new, single campus school in 2024.

The amalgamation of the Carol Street site and the CBD campus has been given the green-light following representations made by the school community and civic leaders.

The college has been split between two campuses since the school was created 20 years ago, with the Year 10 to 12 students attending the Albert Street campus

and Year 7 to 9 students at the Carol Avenue campus.

In December last year, the school community was surveyed about the consolidation and which site the new school should be situated.

Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall said the community has consistently advocated for all students to be together on one site.

“This outcome comes in large part from the ongoing efforts of the P&C Association and the local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG), who have pushed for the consolidation since 2017,”

he said.

“The time of students and staff moving from one side of the town to the other every school day, as well as wasteful duplication, is almost at an end – and not before time.”

Moree Secondary College P&C Association president Kelly James spearheaded the grass-roots campaign to merge both campuses into one.

“An overhaul to secondary education in Moree is long overdue, and this is a massive and welcome step in the right direction for our students,” Mrs James said.

Australian Vocal Ensemble to take to Gunnedah stage GUNNEDAH

Gunnedah will see Australian Vocal Ensemble, AVÉ, take stage later this month with its performance Tumbling Like Stars.

The launch has been many years in the making through the hard work of creative director, Katie Noonan.

The ensemble features four professional vocalists Katie Noonan (Artistic Director and Soprano, QLD), Fiona Campbell (Mezzo Soprano, WA), Andrew Goodwin (Tenor, NSW) and Andrew O'Connor (Bass-Baritone, NSW) in a chamber setting.

It depicts Australian stories through a combination of traditional European music and modern Australian classical.

It does this by creating new Australian works that features engagement with first nation people, telling a story of identity and place.

AVÉ’s music is described as late Renaissance and Baroque era accompanied by new Australian works with David Malouf’s poetry serving as inspiration.

Australian Vocal Ensemble will take to the stage at The Civic.

The members aim to travel across Australia and internationally to tell stories through their performances.

“Katie Noonan amazes with her capacity to translate dreams into reality, captivating us with the way she lifts our hearts, taps into our emotions, laughter, sometimes a raw nerve or two, an awakening, with generosity in spades,” AVÉ’s patron Dame Quentin Bryce AD CVO said.

AVÉ will also hold a community choir workshop at The Civic led by the four vocalists on Monday,

March 20.

It will give participants the opportunity to perform leant pieces during the public performance.

The group will perform on Tuesday, March 21 at The Civic with tickets sold online at https:// events.humanitix.com/ave-australian-vocal-ensemble Tickets can be purchased at The Gunnedah Conservatorium, or online by visiting the Conservatorium website.

AVÉ will be performing in Armidale on March 16 and Tamworth on March 19.

ADFAS Narrabri holds inaugural meeting, luncheon in Moree MOREE ADFAS Narrabri members travelled to Moree and were joined by Moree members and friends for an inaugural meeting and luncheon at the Moree Town and Country Club on Tuesday, February 28.

More than 30 guests enjoyed a delicious lunch and heard about the new season launch for ADFAS arts talks which begins on Monday, March 13 with UK lecturer Alan Read.

Moree patrons who attend ADFAS lectures in Narrabri have for the past two years appreciated the comfort and camaraderie of conducting the trip by coach, organised by the ADFAS committee and making for a stress-free journey.

The idea was originally thought of and carried out when the committee acknowledged that several carloads would regularly travel into Narrabri to attend ADFAS lectures.

It was decided at the start of the 2020 season to offer a coach service and alleviate the worry for

patrons of driving back home at night on the highway.

As a gesture of goodwill to the loyalty and friendship of Moree attendees, the new season launch and luncheon was organised by treasurer Nanette Watson and Moree events coordinator Carolyn Humphries.

“We had a fabulous day in Moree”, said ADFAS chair Elizabeth Campbell.

“Our Moree friends are a very special part of the ADFAS community, and it was lovely to catch up with everyone before lectures start in March.

“I am sure we will be doing this again and making it an annual event.”

Linda Meppem and Joclyn Slack, Moree.

Attending the first meeting of the year, ADFAS grants officer Fiona Groeneveld, Joan Burrell-Melbourne, chair Elizabeth Campbell, secretary Kay Durham, Moree event coordinator Carolyn Humphries, Anne Boehm, Joan Longworth, young arts convenor Judy Pownall and treasurer Nanette Watson.
