On Thursday, 6 April, Coonabarabran Public School opened the time capsule that had been buried near the school’s multipurpose courts since 1995.

by JIMMY WHALAN The day also saw the opening of the school’s new shade shelter and began with an Acknowledgment of Country by Alison Stanton.

Orig inally, the capsule was supposed to have been opened in 2020, but COVID had different plans, meaning the opening of the capsule marked 28 years – rather than the intended 25.

When the capsule was finally unearthed by Mrs Janette Barkley and Mrs Alison Wilkin with some help from Wayne ‘Boots’ Evans and John ‘Robbo’ Robinson, many were surprised to discover that the time capsule was actually an esky!

Among the many conversations I had on my visit to the school, a common topic was the expectation of a large metal cylinder rather than an esky.

The esky did do the job, however, keeping (most of ) the memories of the past fresh for the younger generation to discover and for those who were there at the time to reminisce.

One such article that emerged from the capsule was a letter from our editor of the Coonabarabran Times, Kait Britton (then Estens), who wrote about her life as a nineyear-old and what school was like when her parents were growing up.

Kait’s letter was read aloud at the event by Coonabarabran Public School principal, Lucy Evans, and talked about everything from school uniforms to excursions, and school spor ts to forms of punishment.

“When my father was at school the forms of punishment were: cane, strap. My mum had similar things,” nine-year-old Kait explained. “ My th i ngs were d i f ferent ,

like: sitting on the circle, pick up rubbish, detention, expelled, excluded from the playground, clipboard and no excursions. The rules have changed a lot.”

Other items found in the time capsule included school uniforms, copies of the Coonabarabran Times, and an assortment of photos and letters by students of Coona Public in 1995.

Principal, Lucy Evans expressed the importance of the day as a significant milestone in the school’s history and even announced plans for a new time capsule.

“Today is an extremely proud day for me as I attended school here, starting kindergarten in 1988 where I had the wonderful Mrs Resch and finishing Year 6 in 1996 with Mrs Barkley as my teacher,” Mrs Evans said.

“To be standing here as acting principal today is both an honour and a privilege.

“We will be creating a new time capsule in term four with our current students.”

The day also saw the opening of the newly-constructed shade shelter at the school’s multipurpose courts.

The courts were officially named the Gav in Ginn Multipurpose Courts in 2017, in memory of Mr Ginn’s commitment to the school and to sport.

The shade shelter was officially opened by Vanessa Houley, who had previously committed to the construction of a shade shelter as part of the P&C, but full funding was unable to be secured at the time.

With the shade shelter now built, the event was a wonderful day of celebrations for Coonabarabran Public School.

Fire destroys Baradine’s cordial connection A building with links to Baradine’s cordial-making history has been consumed by a fierce fire, with just the charred structure remaining.

by LIZ CUTTS The NSW Rural Fire service units were called to the blaze at the building that used to be Webber’s cordial factory in Barwon Street in the early hours of Thursday, 30 March.

“On arrival the structure was fully involved, so all we could do was carry out property protection on either side of the bu i ld i ng,” sa id Baradine RFS brigade captain, Phil Hensby. “ T h ree u n its assisted at the scene – Baradine, Goorianawa and Bugaldie brigades, supported by fire control in Coonabarabran.”

Mr Hensby said that the building, which was unoccupied at the time, burned down very quickly.

“We were on the scene for th ree hou rs and monitored the site all the next day due to variable w i nd c ond it ion s ,” M r Hensby added. “ W hilst the building had not been an operational business for some years, it is still sad to lose any building to fire, and all efforts were put into sav ing it and

surrounding property.”

Sweet memories A lthough the former manufacturing shed had been conver ted i nt o a residence some years ago, the incident has revived memories for some local residents of a time before the multi-national soft d r i n k m a nu f a c t u r e r s dominated the Australian market.

Baradine resident, Roy Matthews said that the former Webber’s cordial factory was a piece of town history.

“It was common in the forties and fifties for small towns like Baradine to have their own soft-drink industry,” Mr Matthews said.

“A n n e a n d M o r l e y T r e a s u r e s t a r t e d t he first cordial production, and this was followed by Bernie O’Neil, who sold out to Webbers in either 19 4 9 or 19 5 0 . B er n ie O’Neil sadly died just a few years later when the lorry he was driving was hit by a train.

“I remember Webber’s cordial being very popular, with a variety of flavours on offer.

“There was ginger beer,

2 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 20th April 2023

lemonade, orange, cola and, one of my favourites, creaming soda. “ I cannot recall how much it was t o buy a bottle, but I do remember you could get sixpence back on the empty returns. “ There was always a rush to collect as many ‘empties’ as possible at the end of the Baradine Show each year!”

R eg and L il Webber operated the busi ness from the purpose-built production shed in Barwon Street and lived in the residence next door.

Following Reg Webber’s death , h is son Joh n continued to operate the business.

“My father died from leukaemia in 1971 and I managed to keep production goi ng for another four years,” Mr Webber said.

“A t t h a t t i m e , t h e Baradine economy had slowed down and many of the sawmills had closed.

“A t i t s p e a k , t h e business was hard work.

“Webber’s was delivered to local hotels and cafes and grocery shops. “ T hen Orbell’s i nt r o du c e d s c r e w- t o p

bottles, wh ich soon be c a me mor e p opu l a r than the crown seal type we used – and that also contributed to the demise

of Webber’s.”

on special occasions.

“Every Christmas we got a box of 12 different flavours, which was a huge treat,” recalls Becky.

“ We b b e r ’s f l av o u r s were the best I have ever tasted. Orbell’s had a nice splash cola, but I preferred Webber’s.”

Drug identification guide on display Residents who would like to be able to identify drugs and drug-related paraphernalia are invited to view the community’s new drug identification guide.

by CHRIS WARD The guide has been purchased by t he C om mu n it y D r u g Action Group to provide education to concerned Coonabarabran residents.

T he boa rd, wh ich is currently on display at S PA C E A r t G a l l e r y, shows a variety of illicit substa nces a nd d r ug relat ed pa rapher na l ia that parents and residents should keep an eye out for.

Kodi Brady said there wer e ma ny it ems on display that he hadn’t seen before and said there had been a positive response from the community.

“We put it on display for the first time during the Pride event,” Mr Brady said.

“We also conducted a survey there and 90 per cent of people said they had learnt something from it. “ It i s a r e a l ly go o d informative tool.”

T he b o a r d d i s pl ay s a range of d r ugs from inhalants, prescription d r ugs, club d r ugs and methamphetamines.

M r Brady sa id he had the idea of allowing d i f f e r e n t c o m mu n i t y groups and organisations

to host the board. “ I n t he f ut u r e we ’d like to see it get passed around to schools and

other community groups and used to educate people on what they should look out for,” he said.

The drug identification guide was funded through the D r ug a nd A lcohol Foundation.

Showtime for Hamish Local voice A Coonabarabran livestock agent headed to the big smoke to test his talent as an auctioneer and came away with the experience of a lifetime.

by CHRIS WARD While Hamish Fauchon d id n’t w i n t he c ho c ol at e s at t he S yd ne y R oy a l E a s t e r Show Young Auctioneer C ompet it ion , he c a me home with showbags full of experience.

It was the first occasion on the big stage for the Coonabarabran Davidson Cameron and Co livestock agent, who plans to use the experience to improve.

It didn’t help Hamish’s ner ves when he was drawn first cab off the r a n k t o s h ow o f f h i s auctioneering wares.

“We were allowed three steers each to sell and I was drawn to go first,” he said.

“I was pretty nervous, but I thought I would have been more nervous. Once I got up there and started I was okay.

“It’s pretty much the h ighe st level you c a n

reach as an auctioneer.”

Hamish sold his three steers, but said he made a couple of minor “concentration” er rors during the auction.

“It was just a couple of slip ups, but in a big competition like that it can really cost you,” he said. “ It was a great experience to sell in front of such a big crowd.

“I enjoyed the experience and like to

th i n k I represented myself, my business and Coonabarabran well.”

Hamish said he would return next year better a rmed w ith what t o expect in the hopes of going one better.

For now, he will head back to his day job.

“It’s back to work for me and I will work on those little aspects and I’m keen to give it another go next year,” he said.

Gomeroi delegates are angry they were not given an opportunity to raise concerns or have their questions answered about proposed gas projects.

by EMMA HARVEY On Thursday, 6 April, Gomeroi delegates from NSW travelled to Adelaide for the 2023 Santos annual general meeting, to express concerns over plans to develop gas projects on their traditional lands in the Pilliga.

A group of First Nations’ people, including Indigenous owners from the Tiwi Islands, addressed the board and shareholders during question time at the meeting, expressing anger over Santos gas projects,

including a Barossa gas field north-west of Darwin and the Narrabri project in NSW. Local man Peter Lawton spoke to Santos about his home in the Pilliga native forest, where the petroleum giant has been given the green light to drill gas wells.

“Santos turned the mic off halfway through the speeches of all the Gomeroi speakers and the Tiwi Islanders,” said Mr Lawton.

“They really didn’t care about the concerns of the

local nations that are being affected by these projects.”

Many walked out of the meeting in anger.

Emerging elder Deborah Briggs told the ABC, “We walked out simply because we didn’t feel safe in there, we didn’t feel respected; they are lying to their shareholders, they are lying to the Gomeroi people, to the wider population.

“They didn’t answer any of our questions today, at all,” she said.

Opponents of coal seam gas protest against Santos’ propsed gas projects at the company’s annual general meeting ehld in Adelaide.

Council to discuss Motorists left potential rate rise in the dark Rate payers will be keenly waiting to find out whether Warrumbungle Shire Council will increase rates as part of the operational plan for the next financial year.

by CHRIS WARD Council will meet tonight to d iscuss the 2023/24 draft operational plan.

Within the plan is the proposal to increase rates once again.

In December 2022 the Independent Pricing and R eg u lat or y T r ibu na l (IPART) announced that

councils could increase revenue from rates, based on the level of population growth.

Warrumbungle Shire Council’s approved rate peg for the financial year is 3.7 per cent.

If the proposal is passed in Council it means rate payers will see an increase of 3.7 per cent in general rates, water fees, sewer

fees and waste.

A further five per cent will be added for user fees for both water and sewage.

Councillors will have the option t o accept the operat ion a l pl a n s as present ed , or w ith amendments.

The draft operational pl a n w i l l a l s o r eve a l Council’s total projected r evenue for 2 0 2 3 / 2 4

Insufficient lighting recently forced fuel bowsers to be shut down during evening trading hours at a Coonabarabran fuel outlet.

by CHRIS WARD The Coles Shell Express Service Station was unable to provide fuel after routine maintenance left the site without any outside lighting.

Staff were forced to shut down the bowsers from 6pm onwards because of safety concerns, due to not having satisfactory

lighting at night.

The incident happened late afternoon on Friday, 31 March.

While the centre was still able to trade, it was unable to sell any fuel during the night-time periods over that weekend until temporary lighting was made available.

The service station continued to operate as

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap • Rainfall brought renewed confidence to the cattle market across most categories • Restocker lambs improved considerably, with a strong market at Wagga Wagga • As expected, national cattle slaughter numbers fell significantly, as sheep and lamb volumes showed resilience The first fortnight in April has proven to be disrupted and challenging to pick with prices, yardings and slaughter numbers all showing unique differences in performance.

Cattle Nationa l ya rd i ngs numbers increased by just under 3000 head, although an improvement week-onweek, these figures remain 33 per cent, or 12,000 head below the weekly average for the year.

Yarding volumes for the week beginning Monday, 17 April are expected to improve further although overall supply of cattle via the yardings in April will be down month-on-month.

Most states remained stable in their offering.

NSW lifted by over 2500 he ad , wh ich ac c ou nt s

for much of the uptick in supply seen in the yards this week.

Despite improvements i n numbers a nd some volatility, rainfall over the Easter long weekend across parts of the eastern seaboard improved buyer con f idence a nd most categories improved in price.

I n t he we st , you n g cattle prices also found support. Due to the timing of sale days, Mount Barker ( held on T hursday, 13 April) was the only sale to be considered in price performance.

Commentary on specific performance of categories du r i ng Apr i l ca n be challenging due to lack of throughput in indicators because of the short selling weeks. This means prices

are not necessarily truly reflective of the broader market sentiment.

Sheep The sheep and lamb market also found solid support these past weeks across most categories.

Despite higher yardings across most states this has translated to a lift in prices – an increase of 58,000 in both sheep and lambs week-on-week was seen in NSW. T he rest o cker la mb ind icator per formance ref lected this with its price lifting 42¢ overnight following strong demand from buyers at Wagga Wagga on Thursday 13 April, to finish the week at 622¢/kg carcase weight.

Trade and heavy lambs also found support while t he Mut t on i nd ic at or

c ont i nue s t o i mpr ove following its depressed start to 2023.

Slaughter As expected, national cattle slaughter numbers fell last week by over 33,000 head, or 28%, to record the lowest weekly kill total since the Australia Day week in January.

However, sheep and lamb weekly kill volumes showed signs of resilience ref lective of their prior week ly t ota ls. L amb slaughter at a national level only declined by 11% week-on-week to record 3 3 9 , 0 0 0 he ad . S he ep slaughter remained firm.

This data suggests one of two things – either that small stock processors worked extra or double shifts last week to process and meet market demand,

or that due to the carcase size and general agility of thei r op erat ion s it allowed them to increase production and the plants’ throughput despite losing a working day.

The weekly kill data c ont i nue s t o i nd ic at e small stock processors are switching between categor ies, w ith NS W sheep kill numbers last we ek i nc r e a s i n g 3 0 % despite the shorter working week – while the state’s lamb kill numbers declined by 7%.

If processors continue to preference sheep over lambs, there is the potential for sheep slaughter volumes to be higher than forecasted in February for 2023. © Meat & Livestock Australia Limited, 2023

Fred Kearney Lions for WORD WORD Youth of Year

Considering others in thought and action is a strong belief of The Armidale School’s Fred Kearney and one which he conveyed with conviction to take out the NSW Lions Youth of the Year Award State Final in Bathurst on Saturday, 1 April.

Representing the A rmidale Duma resq Lions Club and Lions N1 District, which includes most of northern NSW, F red impressed si x judges during a gruelling process with four other finalists from Gosford, Sydney, Wollongong and Young.

Fred said his reaction was “surprised, shocked a nd exc it ed ” at bei ng named the overall winner of the competition, which for decades has developed leadersh ip i n young Australians.

As part of the judging process the finalists were interviewed by a panel of si x judges on thei r academic, co-curricular,

community and leadership achievements.

They also had to answer three general knowledge questions: How do you address current issues in your local community?; How is Australia finding a balance between urban development and maintaining e n v i r o n m e n t a l sustainability? and How effective is the United Nations in dealing with humanitarian crisis?

L at er, t he f i n a l i st s delivered two impromptu speeches and a prepared speech at a d inner attended by L ions, family and school representatives.

“The first topic for the

impromptus was, ‘What mat t ers t o you’ a nd I spoke of the importance of community and ensuring that in a modern society we do not become consumed in ourselves and solely focus on our own goals,” Fred said.

“For the second que st ion , ‘ S hou ld t he date of Austra l ia Day be changed and why? ’, I ref lected on the importance of national pride and spirit, but how we must also be able to celebrate our nation on a day which recognises everyone and does not d i s c r i m i n at e a g a i n s t some.”

In his prepared speech Fred drew on the record

Fred Kearney was named NSW Lions Youth of the Year at the state final in Bathurst.

d r o u g h t o f 2 0 1 8 -1 9 , questioning the notion wh e t h e r t o u g h t i m e s make people tougher.

Instead, he proposed that allowing for v u l ner a bi l it y t o s e ek help for you r s el f a nd others w i l l u ltimately make for healthier and stronger individuals and communities.

Fred, whose home is a farm at Coonabarabran, is senior prefect at The Armidale School (TAS) and also captain of rowing, rugby, debating and public speaking.

In the past 12 months, he wo n t he u nde r 19 Australian indoor rowing championships, played for the NSW under 18s Barba r ian X V that were runners up in the Au s t r a l i a n S c ho ol b oy Rugby Championships, was a grand-finalist in t he N at i o n a l V i r t u a l D ebati ng C ompetition and helped d rive a student i n itiative t o suppor t the Blue T ree Project for mental health. “ It has been an i nc r e d i ble ex p er ienc e meeti ng some of the br i g ht e s t a nd d r i v e n s t ude nt s f r om a c r o s s the state a nd hea r i ng thei r st or ies a nd how they are making change i n thei r schools a nd communities,” Fred said.

“I would like to thank the Lions Club of Mount Pa nor a ma B at hu r st , for hosting the evening and to the L ions Club of A rmidale Dumaresq for sponsoring me and for assisting me to reach this level. “ I ’m r e a l ly l o ok i n g forward to meeting more amazing young people at the national final next month.”

Previous state winners include Andrew G e e ( Federa l Member for Calare, who was in the audience), A ndrew Charlton ( Federal Member for Parramatta), and Adam Ma rshall (State Member for Northern Tablelands).

The national final will be held at the Gold Coast on Monday, 1 May 2023.

Wo r k i ng. I’m a Pract i ce N u r se Manager at one of the Medical Centres.

Wh a t i s you r g o -t o we e k n i g h t dinner? Kiev maybe, stroganoff.

My husband is the better cook!

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

Easygoing. Confident. Stubborn – I’m an Aries!

What’s your way of winding down after a long week? Mowing the lawn! I like mowing the lawn, isn’t that sad? That’s my down time, it’s rewarding!

Campfire or karaoke? Definitely campfire.

If you could have anyone around

for dinner (dead or alive) who would it be? I’ve got him at home.

My husband.

And what would you cook him?

He’d cook for me!

What’s your favourite thing to do around Coonabarabran? Spend time with family.

Have you read any good books lately? I’ve just bought Rachel by Jeff McGill.

What do you think is the key to living a good life? I have a couple of sayings. “Live by the choices you make” is one I tell the kids. And “life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.”

What’s something you’re looking forward to? The kids are coming home from B r isbane soon and we’re going to the dam.

W h o s h o u l d we ch a t t o n ex t ?

Coona high: 50 golden years It’s getting closer! Coonabarabran High School will soon be celebrating 50 years with a weekend of fun celebrations for everyone.

by JIMMY WHALAN Planned activities for the fast-approaching anniversary event will commence at 7 p m on Friday, 28 April with the Celebrate CHS Showcase in the school hall.

Coonabarabran High School (CHS) principal, Ms Mary Doolan said the showcase will be a window into the significant talent at the school.

The Showcase will comprise an exciting evening of musical and dramatic performances, with a delicious supper available prepared by the CHS commerce class.

Entry to the Celebrate CHS Showcase will be via a gold coin donation, with proceeds going towards the 2023 Year 12 formal.

Celebrations will continue on Saturday, 29 April with a fete on the school oval.

From 10am to 2pm, the

high school oval will be filled with stalls, with some incredible live music adding a festive air.

The f e st iv it ie s w ill continue into Saturday evening with the CHS 50th Birthday Trivia Night starting at 7pm.

The night will be a chance to catch up with friends and test your knowledge of all things CHS and beyond.

Tables for the trivia night can be booked for $20 per head at the CHS front office or at Prezzies, with a charcuterie platter for your table included in the price.

If people buy individual tickets, they can be placed on a table on the night.

Ms Doolan said that the school community is looking forward to a golden weekend of celebrations with much anticipation.

“We have a lot to be proud of at CHS and we look forward to enjoying

the school’s significant birthday with our local community,” she said.

“A lot has changed in the education landscape over the past 50 years, but the tradition of a quality education, underpinned by a rich array of opportunities, remains a constant at Coonabarabran High and we look forward to continuing to shape young lives through the power of education into the future.

“All are welcome to join our celebrations!”

Coonabarabran High School captains, Declan Eshman and Alex Letts said they are looking forward to celebrating Coona High’s 50th year with the community.

“It is extra special to graduate in our school’s golden year and we are grateful for the opportunity to harness the celebrations to support fund-raising for our formal.”

Coonabarabran High School leaders, Jack Ferguson (vice captain), Alex Letts and Declan Eshman (school captains), are excited for the school’s 50th celebrations.

Aboriginal spears returned Trinity College, Cambridge, has decided to repatriate spears to the La Perouse Aboriginal community after they were taken by Lieutenant James Cook in 1770.

by JIMMY WHALAN The college is in the process of obta i n i ng approval for the transfer of the legal title through the Un it ed K i ngdom’s Charity Commission.

The four spears have been in the Cambridge Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA) since 1914, and are the only ones remaining from the original 40 spears that were collected.

T hese spea rs were recorded by James Cook as bei ng ta ken f rom A b o r i g i n a l c a m p s at Kamay (Botany Bay) in April 1770.

T he fou r rema i n i ng s p e a r s wer e g iven t o T r i n it y C ol le g e a f t er Ja me s C o ok ’s r et u r n , where they have remained as part of their collection ever since.

A f t er establ ish i ng connection w ith the Aboriginal community at La Perouse over the last decade, Trinity College i s now r et u r n i n g t he spears to the La Perouse Aboriginal community.

T h i s de c i s ion c a me a f t er d i s c u s sion w it h the Gweaga l people (the A bor ig i na l g roup the spears were taken f r om), a s wel l a s t he broader Dharawal Nation, including the La Perouse Aboriginal Land Council and the Gujaga Foundation.

T he de c i sion c ome s a f t er ma ny ye a r s of campaigning by the local Aboriginal people, which culminated in a formal repatriation request in

December 2022 from the La Perouse Aboriginal L and C ounci l and the Gujaga Foundation.

The community plans t o d i spl ay t he sp e a r s at the new Visitor Centre, currently under construction at Kurnell, Botany Bay. With the assistance of the National Museum and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (A I ATSIS), the spears are expected to return to Australia in the coming

ANZAC DAY: TUESDAY, 25TH APRIL 2023

Pause, reflect, remember Next Tuesday, 25 April 2023, marks 108 years since the ANZAC landings at Gallipoli. The Coonabarabran Returned and Services League (RSL) Sub-Branch invites all to join in commemorating ANZAC Day, beginning with the dawn service at 6.00 am and the main service at 11.00am.

This year, we anticipate a special guest, Captain Vaughn Rixon, CSC, RAN, and his wife, Felicity, to have a significant role on the day. Assembly time for the march is 10.20am in King Street and here I will extend a general invitation to community groups to join with the veterans and servicemen who are marching.

For those confined at home or to a car, I am assured the service will be broadcast by our local station 2WCR FM on 99.5 MHz and via streaming on their web-site.

Recently, a final goodbye and tribute to well-known 80’s era former shire clerk, Lester Wong See was conducted, Lester was a veteran

of the Buna-GonaSananda campaign that was fought from 16 November 1942 to 22 January 1943. These were beachheads established by the Japanese on the north coast of Papua New Guinea after landing on 21 July 1942. The Japanese subsequently advanced down the track to where they made it to less than 50km from Port Moresby; a cairn near McDonalds Corner just north of Port Moresby now marks that location.

After that initial landing, resistance by the 39th Battalion and elements of the Pacific Islands Regiment, dubbed Maroubra Force, was limited. So, the Japanese advanced quickly, taking

Kokoda and overcoming all resistance offered by additional units of the 2nd Australian Imperial Force, until the Japanese supply lines became extended.

From 26 September 1942, Australians, now joined by US forces, were able to push back up the track through three main battles to the beachheads.

Lester was a member of the 2/12th Battalion that did not arrive onto the Kokoda Track until late in this final campaign (December 1942), however, the 2/12 Battalion was soon fully engaged in a pitched battle on New Year’s Day, 1943. The Japanese had well-established positions and the Allied Forces were limited, as they had

Dunedoo’s wartime heritage preserved A new edition of a local history book is a must-read for anyone interested in Dunedoo’s wartime heritage, including involvement in the Vietnam War. A new updated edition of the book L e s t We F o r g e t : T h e Ser vicemen & Women of Dunedoo was launched on Monday, 17 April.

The publication of the new edition was made possible through $6500 in funding from the Saluting Their Ser vice Commemorative Grants Program, which was applied for by the Dunedoo H isto r ical Society and Museum.

The new edition now includes additional material on Dunedoo’s involvement in the Vietnam War. Mark Coulton was on

hand at the Dunedoo Librar y for the launch of the book.

“I’m delighted to see the Sal uting T h e i r S e r v i c e Commemorative Grants Program resulting in what will be a lasting h i s to r i ca l b e n ef i t fo r the community of Dunedoo,” Mr Coulton said.

“T h i s b o o k fo r m s a w o n d e r f u l r e co rd o f the war time her itage of the town of Dunedoo and will be a g reat reference for historians for years to come.

“It also now includes additional material on

Dunedoo’s involvement in the Vietnam War. “The ha rd wo r k of A n n e Wa t t s a n d t h e Dunedoo H isto r ical Societ y and Museum have translated hours of research and compiling o f p h oto g r a p h s i n to a bound copy which i s n ow a cce s s i b l e to readers.

“They should be proud of their ach ievements, and the book launch today is a great example of what can be done through the Saluting Their Ser vice Commemorative Grants Program.”

no control of the sea for heavy equipment, while the Japanese were able to resupply their forces.

The Allies had made many assaults and suffered significant losses.

On New Year’s Day 1943, the 2/12 Battalion lost 63 men and 122 wounded.

A further 61 men of the unit were killed by 22 January. Over 90 per cent of the strength of the 2/12 Battalion suffered

c a s u a l t y , h o w e v e r, overall, history shows the Allies were eventually victorious, but at great loss – recording nearly 2000 killed, the Japanese 7600.

On both sides, disease was a factor in the north-coast wet season, including for our late friend, Lester, who contracted malaria and was assigned hometraining duties at Cowra.

T h e K o k o d a Tr a c k battles were just six months of WWII, culminating in success 80 years ago. That success came at enormous human cost for some of our units. ANZAC Day is commemorated on the day where the ANZACs suffered unimaginable sacrifice for their efforts at the time.

Through the 20th century and into this

one, Australians have been at war at various times. Australia has also fulfilled its responsibilities in peace-keeping roles.

We honour over 102,000 killed, several hundred thousand wounded and well over a million who have served in war.

Lest We Forget.

Kevin Barrington, President Coonabarabran RSL Sub-Branch

RSL call-out for new members In recent years, the Returned and Ser vices League (RSL) in NSW has been reorganised, with many of the changes resulting from the changing rules for charities.

S i n ce 1916 , t h e R S L h a s h a d a m i s s i o n to support current and former veterans of service.

I n Decembe r 2 019, RSL N SW adopted a new constitution that more specifically focuses the organisation in this direction. Another role is to conduct appropriate commemoration on days such as ANZAC Day and other special days.

Clubs with the RSL name are not part of RSL NSW and are not registered charities, with very few having direct association with sub-branches.

Membership of RSL NSW sub-branches has been depleted. The organisation has recognised this problem and is facilitating an online membership to encourage recruitment of younger members.

Coonabarabran RSL Sub-Branch is no exception to fa l l i ng m em be r s h i p n u m be r s a nd b ra n ch president, Kevin Barrington is encouraging all those eligible to join the new-look organisation.

“Ser vice membership is now available to all honourably discharged ex-servicemen and women who have served at least six months (less than six months qualifies those medically discharged) in the ADF, the British Commonwealth, the US or an ally during a conflict,” Mr Barrington said.

“Should an eligible member ‘google’ RSL NSW, a free online access that facilitates free membership is instantly shown.

“Coonabarabran Sub-Branch has approved a

waiver of the sub-branch administration fee of $12 for the next two months should local people take advantage of this facility.”

Mr Barrington said people other than ex-service personnel who would like to contribute to the RSL Sub-Branch were welcome to join as either an auxiliary or affiliate member.

“These categories are for those not eligible for service membership, but would be keen to support the RSL cause,” Mr Barrington said.

“Those interested in becoming an affiliate or auxiliary member can contact me, the auxiliary coordinator Mrs Hazel Pope, or a sub -branch member.

“Many organisations are supported by volunteers and the Coonabarabran Sub-Branch very much appreciates its volunteer base.

“With respect to our ‘competition’, there are hundreds of ex-service organisations (ESO). There is no restriction on an individual being a member of other ESOs; several Coonabarabran RSL members are also members of other ESO associations.

However, the RSL Sub-Branch is the one in town that meets monthly.

“My appeal here is – go online, or make contact with us for membership. The more members we have, the more effective we can be in our business.”

A nyo n e i nte r e s te d i n m e m b e r s h i p o f t h e Coonaba rab ran RSL Sub - B ranch of NSW can contact branch president, Kevin Barrington on 6842 1538.

ANZAC DAY: TUESDAY, 25TH APRIL 2023

Wally’s war Wally Knight was one of many local lads who were proud to serve their country in time of war.

by MICK ESTENS On ANZAC Day 1942 , Co r p o ra l Wa l l y K n i g ht w a s s ta n d i n g at at tention fo r an inspection and March Past of the 2/25 Battalion AIF in front of Brigadier Gene ra l Lo rd Gow r ie VC . B e i n g i n a l a rg e parade was not new to Wally, as his Battalion was inspected overseas, i n Sy r i a, by F rench General Cha r les De Gaulle, leader of Free France, where Wally was in the Guard of Honour.

Coonabarabran born, Wally had enlisted at Mackay in Queensland June 1940.

He was trained in Queensland and sent on Ga r r ison D uties i n Darwin. He was posted back to Brisbane then sent by train to Sydney to embark on the “Queen M a r y ” to t h e M i d d l e East.

Wa l l y’s Bat ta l i o n moved through Egypt and Libya to Palestine and on to the invasion of Syria and Lebanon in combat with German and Vichy French military.

T h e m o s t m e n ta l l y and physical challenge to Wa l l y wa s soon to come, when being sent to New Guinea as the Japanese fo rces had come r ight down the Kokoda Track towards Por t Moresby. Dar win had al ready suf fered multiple Japanese bombings.

A transport ship took Wally to Port Moresby, but pulled into Townsville for two days. Wally had a good ti me, went absent w ithout leave with his mates and was fined six shillings the next day befo re boa rd i ng the ship. Wally’s unit was to take part in the last

Australian withdrawal, then the push back of Japanese troops along the Kokoda Track.

Wa l l y ex p e r i e n ce d the climb at what was cal led “The Golden Sta i r c a s e” by A u s s i e diggers. The staircase was a sharp climb that ro s e 3 6 5 m et re s a n d had 2000 steps carved in by Army engineers.

On arrival, the Diggers were ordered “to repel the Japanese or die up there fighting,” so Wally and his mates knew full well what was expected of them.

Hand-to-hand fighting along the Kokoda Track saw Wally promoted to sergeant.

Finally, the 2/25 arrived at Templeton’s Crossing, named after Australian Captain Sam Templeton, who was beheaded by the Japanese.

It was here that evidence of Japanese atrocities were found, as Aussie Diggers were lying dead with flesh cut off their bodies as food.

I n O cto b e r, a t t h i s l o ca t i o n , t h e e n e my dropped mortar bombs onto the 2/25 and Wally was wounded by s h ra p n e l, h i t t i n g h i m from his rear up his back. Wal ly was w ith the walking wounded, m ov i n g towa rd s Po r t Moresby, and was later put on a stretcher and carried by New Guinea natives, nicknamed the “ fuz z y w uz z y angel s” by t h e D i g g e r s , u nt i l reaching the 2/4 Field Ambulance Station.

He left New Guinea, landing Townsville, but by now he was suffering from malaria as well as recove r i ng f rom shel l wounds. He spent long p e r i o d s i n a h o s p ita l bed o n th e Ath e r to n Ta b l e l a n d s d u e to

malaria. As July rolled in, he was sent back to Kokoda, marked fit for duties.

Later, once back in Australia, Wally spent seve ra l m o re m o nt h s in and out of hospital riddled with malaria.

E ve n t u a l l y h e w a s transfer red to the 113 Gene ral Hospital i n Sydney where his future wife, Coona girl Norma Pulham, was working – also in the Army. Norma a n d Wa l l y o b t a i n e d leave and travelled to Coona, getting married i n Ma rch 194 4 at the Church of England, the reception being held at the Boronia Café.

Wa l ly’s wa r was coming to an end, malaria making him unf it. He was now mar ried, and news came through that h i s b e s t m a te, N o a h Pulham, who had been a Japanese prisoner of war in Java, had been confirmed dead after the Japanese transport ship he was in was torpedoed off Japan.

Havi ng no leave, Wally asked his captain if he could take off back to Coona to be with the Pulham family and his wife. The officer said, “go, the war is nearly over, I will not report you for three days to give you a head start.”

So, Wa l l y g ot to Mackay where a mate with a taxi took him to Newcastle. He caught a train to Coonabarabran, having one close call at Wer r is Creek when a troop train pul led up and Militar y Police started walking around, but did not ask for his pass. Eventually, Wally sur rendered to the Military Police in Sydney, but the war was over.

He was busted back to

the rank of corporal and sent home.

Back i n civi l ian l ife Wally raised a family and became a local builder, having the honour of building Mac and Elaine Davis’ bedroom without a doo r ! H e s tayed i n Coonabarabran until his death, having resided in King Street.

M a ny A N Z AC D a y s ca n b e re m e m b e red with Wally and Johnny Miller at the Royal Hotel; both Kokoda veterans.

As kids, we shared the stor y our dads told us about Coonabarabran p l a y i n g B i n n a wa y i n football. The score was in a tie and there was

j ust a few m i nutes to go when a Binnaway player bolted for the try line with no opposition to stop him. Suddenly, a Coona supporter ran out and tackled him – it was Wal ly w ith a few beers in him. Wally had helped save Australia from the Japanese and Coonaba rab ran from Binnaway!

As ANZAC Day comes upon us and another year passes, we remember the diggers like Wally Knight, their service to this country, their love of their family, the great cost to their health and uncertainty of a long life from war.

RIOT eases school anxiety The Resilience in our Teens (RIOT) project has recently been introduced at Coonabarabran High School, with the aim to address student anxiety.

by JIMMY WHAL AN As part of the RIOT project, high school staff have undertaken professiona l lea r n i ng, with materials from The Harvard Center for the Developing Child.

Staff have been learning methods of using cognitivebehavioural techniques including asking g u id i ng questions t o e n h a n c e a s t u d e n t ’s abi lity to ref rame the d i f f i c u lt ie s t he y f a c e a nd become a better pr oblem s olver i n the face of emotion.

One of the major aims of t h i s pr o g r a m i s t o encou rage students t o develop more of a ‘have a g o ’ at t it ud e a nd t o stop them from avoiding difficult tasks that are within their ability to complete.

P r o j e c t f a c i l i t a t o r, D r M ich ael H aw t on said the long-term goal is for a reduction i n student a n x iety by teaching people how to b e t he ‘ b o s s ’ o f t hei r anxiousness or the ‘manager’ of their own anxiety.

“A nxiety happens to everybody; some people manage it well and some people don’t,” Dr Hawton said. “ The project is aimed at helpi ng pe ople t o develop skills to return t o c a l m when t hey ’r e feeling a bit anxious, or

to talk to themselves to calm themselves down.”

T he R IO T pr o g r a m has been rolled out by Bonnie Hain, who has been engag ing with s t ud e nt s i n d i f fe r e nt year groups to address student anxiety.

S ome i ntroduct or y sessions have fo cused on identi fy ing what it means to ‘feel anxious’, w ith learning goals including: have a personal def inition of anxiety; know a reputable def i n ition o f a n x i e t y ; a n d h av e a per s on a l pr of i le for anxiety.

Ms Emma Rankmore h a s a l s o b e en r ol l i n g out the RIOT program across the school’s four support unit classes.

Ms Rankmore said the students were engaged and interested dur ing t h e s e w o rk s h o p s a n d she was proud that the students wanted to give their own examples and listened to each other without judgement.

Dr Haw ton said the prog ram has been a success at other schools and expects to see the same positive results at Coonabarabran High. “ We’ve been teaching this program in 25 other schools in NSW, and it will probably be in 50 schools next year,” Dr Hawton said. “[Other schools said] teachers feel more confident in being able

to help a child to manage t hei r a n x iou sne s s , s o that’s good. “ Teachers have learned how to be more confident in

r esp ond i ng t o a ch i ld who has anxiety, and the teachers are saying that they feel like they’ve got some really good skills t o teach ch i ld ren t o

manage their anxiety.”

Dr Hawton has also w r it t en a b o ok c a l led The Anxiety Coach, which he said is a “new breed” of books for

pa rent-led approaches to anxiety in children. “ R ather than h av i n g t o g o a nd s e e a psychologist for children who have mild

t o m o d e r at e a n x i e t y, parents can learn a few sk i l ls f rom the book t o help t hei r ch i ld t o manage their anxiety,” Dr Hawton said.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public Chicken Caravan At the end of last term there was a hive of activity at our school for the construction of the chicken caravan, as pa r t of ou r A g @ Toora sustainability grant. A huge th a n k you must go to Wes Leedham and Carl Holmesby from the Warrumbungle EEC, as well as staff, parents and, of course, our students, who helped out on one or two days to contribute to this amazing project.

The chicken caravan ca n house up t o 3 0 chickens and has some great features including programable opening and closing of the caravan to let the chickens in and out each day.

Western Plains Zoo excursion Our students and staff set off for their Taronga We s t e r n P l a i n s Z o o Excursion to Dubbo last term. A fabulous day was had by all! Highlights included hand feeding a

giraffe, getting up close to animals on the Savannah Safari Bus, and watching s e v e r a l fe e d i n g s a nd keeper talks.

We r e c e i v e d m a n y positive comments from patrons and staff about the exemplary behaviour of our students throughout the day. We couldn’t be prouder of the way our students conducted themselves.

We are very thankful to Craig Dowsett for being on hand throughout the day

to move the bus along the trail, enabling backpacks to be left on the bus.

Easter Hat Parade Last Thursday of term we held our Easter Hat Parade and presentation of two songs at a special assembly. We also took the opportunity to officially open our new playground equipment.

The last playground was installed in 1992 so, 30 years later, it is great to have a new playground for our students to enjoy.

WEATHER WATCH During the past week, tropical cyclone Ilsa moved parallel to the Pilbara Coast of Western Australia and did a lot of damage at Bedout Island, some 100kms north-east of Port Hedland last Thursday evening, 13 April, when wind speeds reached a record 289kph.

The cyclone then moved inland and lost intensity quickly, but did bring heavy rainfalls at isolated towns in outback WA. Cyclone Ilsa was actually a late occurrence for mid April.

Late cyclones in the past have delivered heavy rainfalls at places in the interior of WA and then across to Alice Springs and then into NSW. Alice Springs received heavy rain, taking the April total to 64mms, but little or no rain reached most of NSW except for falls of 10 to 20mms in the Riverina.

In Victoria, rainfalls were mostly 10 to 30mms over last weekend.

The City of Melbourne received 38mms to Sunday morning, the wettest April day for 12 years; while the daily fall at Scoresby of 54.8mms was the wettest since 78.2mms on Good Friday, 18 April, 1977.

The town of Carnegie, located in the interior of WA, has recorded 153.6mms for the first half of this April, easily the wettest on record for April in 81 years of records. The previous wettest April was 148mms in 2003.

In South Australia, few places had heavy rainfalls, the heaviest being 77mms at Tarcoola making this the wettest April since 84mms in 1961.

Cyclone Ilsa has resulted in daily maximum temperatures over most of WA the past week, with Victoria also being a couple of degrees below

the April normal, but it was notably above average in the Carpentaria region of the Northern Territory and across to most of Queensland and the far north of NSW. It has become notably dry over most of Qld since 18 March. Maximum temperatures have approached near record high temperatures for April during the past week.

Last Thursday I contacted my grandson, Benjamin, who has been living in Cairns with his fiancé, Carley Millett.

Ben was quick to inform me that the weather has been very hot for April.

I then quickly looked up the records for Cairns and found that the meanmaximum temperature for the first half of April was 32.2 degrees and this was nearly three degrees above normal.

This was the hottest since 32.4 during the first half of April 1930 and the second hottest in 135 years. The temperature reached a high of 34.5 on 15 April at Cairns, the third hottest for April behind 34.7 in 1907 and 36.8 in 1988.

It has been very dry in Cairns since 25 March and the rainfall of only 0.6 during the first half of April was the driest for this period since 1915, when no rain fell.

Interestingly, Cairns has its warmest spring season on record last year, at the time when we had much above-average rainfalls in our regions.

Previous warmest Aprils in 1893, 1907, 1916, 1928, 1930 1968, 1988, 1995, 1998 and 2009 in Cairns have had a tendency to set up a wet and cold May and June, warm dry August to November period, with temperatures reaching 35 in October, then near 40 degrees by late November.

In the pink for Cancer Support LADIES’ GOLF Last Saturday, 15 April, the Coonabarabran Lady Golfers held their annual fund-raising day at the Golf Club. The weather was kind to us this year, with a nice, sunny day compared to the rain from last year.

Seven teams made up of golfers and non-golfers played nine holes of golf, followed by lunch. Screams of delight could be heard whenever a player holed a ball or had a good shot.

The best-scoring team was Jane McW hirter’s team, wh i le the bestdressed team went to Lou Dowsett’s team.

A delightful lunch was pr ov ided by the L ady Golfers and Cancer Support Group. At the end of lunch, Nicole Hadfield, president of the Cancer Support Group, spoke about the organisation.

On Wednesday, 12 April, a group of ladies played a stableford event. The winner with 33 points was Michelle Murphy. Runnerup, and receiving a ball, was Lou Coulton with 31 points.

Yest erd ay a nd nex t Saturday, the Naturally Beautiful Trophy will be played. This is the first round of the stableford competition which is run over six competition days.

On Sunday 23 April, the ladies will be playing in the annual Par Championships.

Tee-off time is 11am.

The first round of the par competition will be held on Wednesday, 26 April, Saturday, 29 April and Sunday, 30 April.

J.K.

Representing Cancer Support were president Nicole Hadfield, Kerrie Ward, Caz Dowling and Jane McWhirter.

Having an absolute blast at the Cancer Support Golf fund-raiser were Sarah Baglee, Angela Timmer, Dimity Douglas and Lou Dowsett.

Home visiting from England was Emma Jewiss, with her aunt, Leonie Jenkins, and mum, Rhonda Jewiss.

Attending the golf day were Beth Ford, Anne Mathews, Jenny Dicks, Heather Chad, Pat Maiden and Dawn Weatherall.

Kookaburras off to strong start RUGBY UNION T he C o on aba rabra n Rugby Club played Canowindra in the first rou nd of the oi ls plus cup i n Molong, as the Ca now i nd ra ova l wa s unavailable due to the balloon festival The game commenced with a very sombre and sad mood, as both teams stood either side of the ha l f a nd obser ved a minute’s silence to one of Canowindra’s clubman, 26-year-old Bill Dinham, who was tragically killed last Friday.

Bill and his wife were expecting a child in six weeks. What an absolute devastation for his family and the Pythons.

The game, as a result, s t a r t e d i n a subdue d manner and with the Coonabarabran Kookaburras being p e n a l i s e d r e p e at e d l y e a rly on due t o s ome over enthusiasm in the opening stanza and losing possession continually with poor passing options, this kept Canowindra in the game until half time.

W hen the Kookas eventually started playing as a team, Sam Wilson went on to score a hat-

trick of tries to highlight a round one win against a determined Canowindra Pythons’ outfit, 39-12.

U n d i s c i p l i n e d p l ay continued well into the first half, frustrating both players and coaches, but eventually the Kookas settled into patches of controlled play with both Sam Wi lson and Matt Walton crossing the line, giving Coona a 10-nil lead.

C a n ow i nd r a s t r u c k back at the end of the half with an unconverted try, leaving the half-time score 10-5.

T he hal f-time break allowed coaches Redden and Clifton to vent their

f r u st r at ion a nd fo c u s the team on a simplified version of the game, cutting out mistakes and maintaining possession.

Obviously some of the t e a m must h ave be en listening as the second ha l f was a c omplet e turnaround. Darcy Cl i f ton k icked a longrange penalty early on, pushing the score to 13-5.

The Pythons hit back soon after with a soft try under the posts which was converted, so a 13-12 score looked like there was a competitive game ahead.

H o w e v e r , Coonaba rabran took control in the forwards

and gave clean ball to the backs, who car ved up the opposition with slick passing and great h a n d s . L a c hy S t o k i e scored the next try. The back s then t o ok over, with tries to Sam Wilson, Luke Michael and finally another to Sam Wilson – giving him his hat-trick for the day.

A convincing 39 to 12 win to the Kookas in the end, following a poor start.

This weekend is a home game against Wellington R e d bac k s , who h ad a convincing win over the Coolah Roo’s last week; the R oo’s, who had an encouraging pre-season,

were thumped 48-0.

So this will be a tough game, as the Redbacks look like they could be the real deal this year and I have to confess, t he K o ok a bu r r a s a r e Wellington’s bunny.

We must f ind a way t o f u mble ou r c hor u s line when we play the R edbacks. I think i f they turned up with 10 players they would still start as favourites. So, be sure to get down to Coonabarabran’s number three oval on Saturday to shout loudly and support the Kookaburras. Kick-off at 2pm – come along and have a fun day.

Scores Coonabarabran 39: ( S a m W i l s on 3 , M at t Walton, Darcy Clifton, L achy St ok ie, L u ke M ichael tr ies; Da rcy Clifton penalty goal and three conversions).

Canowindra 12: (two tries, one conversion).

Other results: Molong 45 d Trangie 0; Wellington 48 d Coolah 0; Geurie 12 Yeoval 5.

Points B e s t a nd f a i r e s t : 3 points – Darcy Clifton; 2 points – Sam Wilson; 1 point – Charlie Redden, Ethan Thirkell.

Harry

Prior to the commencement of their first-round match on Saturday, the Canowindra Pythons and Coonabarabran Kookaburras rugby teams paused for a minute’s silence in honour of a Pythons’ club member.

With all nine first-grade teams play ing, a good crowd was in attendance to witness the non-stop football action on offer.

A s t he g a me s wer e relatively short in duration, not a whole lot can be read into the results, but winning form is good form and the Roosters picked up from where they left

off in 2022, registering a hard fought 8-6 win over an enthusiastic Baradine Magpies outfit in their op en i n g m at c h . T hey followed this with another win when accounting for an equally-enthusiastic Binnaway team 10-4 in a semi final, which gained them a ber th i n the final against last year’s knockout winners, the Narromine Jets.

The Jets had earlier downed Coonabarabran 16-10, before snatching a th r i l l ing 12 - 8 semif i na l v ict or y over the C o ona mble B ea rs, a 6 0 -metre intercept try with 20 seconds remaining getting them home.

In the final, the Roosters proved to be too strong and walked away with the Shield, the score reading 16-6.

When the Castlereagh L eag ue clubs voted to have a Boronia Cup equivalent in its leaguetag competition, there was some thought given as to what that Cup should be called – and it was unanimously decided that, apart from her outstanding ach ievements , Jessica presented herself as an excellent role model for any female playing league tag or rugby league within the vast Castlereagh League

area and that the Cup s hou ld b e n a me d t he ‘Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup’.

Jessica will be on hand to present the Cup named i n her honou r t o t he winner of the Castlereagh league-tag knockout to be played at Coonamble this Saturday, 22 April. The winning club will then defend the Cup when it contests its first home game dur ing the 2 023 season.

Preschool places boost MOREE

Moree will soon have an additional 24 preschool places after Kiah Preschool secured a $249,317 state government grant to expand its learning spaces.

Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall announced the centre would receive the funds last week and was joined

by Pius X Aboriginal Corporation chief executive officer Donna Taylor and Pius X deputy chairperson Lloyd Munro.

Mr Marshall said the funding was secured under the NSW Community and Place Grants Program and would help the Pius X Aboriginal Corporation, which manages the preschool, to get started on the much-anticipated project.

“The extension to Kiah Preschool will include a new learning space, additional accessible toilets as well as an access ramp,” Mr Marshall said.

“The reception area will also be updated with a parent interview space and an office for the centre co-ordinator.

“The works will be completed and ready for the start of the 2024 school year.

“Congratulations to CEO Donna Taylor and all the hard-working staff and educators at Kiah on securing this funding to support and educate more Moree youngsters.”

Mr Marshall said Pius X delivers a wide range of services, including health, dental and counselling services, aimed at improving the health and

“I have no doubt this funding will be put to good use,” Mr Marshall said.

Mr Marshall said a second grant

of $100,000 was also secured for the purchase of a new bus for the preschool.

“The new bus at Pius X will help transport students to and from the preschool each

and every day,” Mr Marshall said.

“This will replace the existing old vehicle and the new bus will have more seats as well.”

Increasing mouse numbers a cause for concern RURAL NEWS

Farmers are on the lookout for increased mouse activity with reports of increasing damage to crops and fodder across the state.

Two years after a mouse plague saw vehicles, buildings and towns infested while crops were destroyed, NSW Farmers president Xavier Martin is urging growers to be extra-vigilant about mouse activity.

“Members are telling me they’re seeing mice again all the way from Queensland down to the Victorian border and out west towards Adelaide,” Mr Martin said.

“We need everyone to keep an eye out for mice, in particular use their chew cards, and report any activity to authorities.

“It’s important to stay on top of this issue so we can avoid a repeat of the 2021 mouse plague, so

please if you see something, say something.”

In 2021 the rodents swarmed rural and regional communities, chewing their way through hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of crops, damaging farm machinery, vehicles and buildings in the process.

People reported being “sickened” by the sight of ‘carpets’ of mice on highways.

Farmers and rural landholders are urged to report mouse activity by visiting Feral Scan online and can download a chew card template from GRDC. Online information from GRDC says growers should monitor paddocks to get an accurate idea of their mouse problem as numbers can vary significantly within a district.

Monitor by walking a transect of 100 metres across the crop and

counting active holes in a 1-metre-wide strip (gives an area assessed of 100 square metres).

Pull back stubble to check closely for mouse activity. Repeat several times across the paddock.

Active holes can be identified by sprinkling talcum powder or corn flour around holes and inspecting the level of disturbance the following morning.

One burrow per 100 square metres equals 100 burrows per hectare, or 200 mice per hectare. Burrows usually contain 1 to 4 mice but can have up to 40 mice.

Checks should be made across a paddock as populations can be patchy.

Hole counts vary by soil type.

In cracking soils, holes may be difficult to identify. In sandy soils, mice may dig many holes in search of seed, which can look similar to nesting burrows. In

NSW Farmers president Xavier Martin, of Mullaley, is encouraging people to keep an eye out for mice. hard-setting soils, there may be few holes, but each can contain many mice – up to 40 per hole during plagues.

Mouse chew cards are most reliable for gauging numbers in late autumn/winter when food is scarce.

They are less reliable as crops mature because the crop provides a more attractive food source than the oil-soaked card.

Growers urged to check paddocks

CSIRO researcher Steve Henry said growers should be proactive about the assessing the situation with mice in their paddocks and be prepared to bait as they sow the crop to reduce impact.

Speaking at the meeting of the National Mouse Group on March 31, experts from Australia’s national science agency CSIRO, warned that while mouse numbers vary across cropping zones, if present in high numbers, they can have devastating impacts on crops being sown.

Growers are already reporting mouse activity in Queensland and New South Wales summer crops.

“We are urging farmers to get out of their utes and check their paddocks. Even if you don’t think you have a problem, you may in fact have a localised population about to explode,” said CSIRO researcher Steve Henry.

Regular monitoring and early identification of mouse infestations is essential. If left unchecked, a mouse population

can quickly escalate and result in crop losses, reduced yields, and increased costs associated with pest control measures. In addition to eating crops, mice can also damage infrastructure such as irrigation systems and farm buildings.

“Mice are everywhere but numbers are patchy, so farmers should focus on paddocks that have sustained pre- or post-harvest grain loss. It’s about looking earlier and ordering bait as soon as you can,” Mr Henry said.

If mouse numbers on your farm are high, experts advise farmers to apply control measures when background food is at its lowest, which is just after planting, to give mice the best chance of finding and eating the bait.

GRDC and Australia’s national science agency CSIRO, recommend the application of 50g/kg zinc phosphide baits (ZnP50) to ensure that each bait grain is a lethal dose.

Zinc phosphide is the only rodenticide active ingredient registered for use in broadacre cropping in Australia.

“Our research shows it takes 2mg of ZnP to kill a 15g mouse.

The new ZnP50 product ensures that a mouse only needs to fully consume a single treated grain to receive a lethal dose. This avoids the problem of mice becoming bait averse,” Mr Henry said.

Community service analysis to be undertaken MOREE PLAINS Moree Plains Shire Council will embark on a community service analysis.

Currently, the Moree Plains has more than 70 service providers representing the shire, with this project aimed to help and scope the Moree Plains service footprint.

In a statement, council said this project will provide a detailed analysis of delivery organisations across five domains – crime prevention and justice, education,

health and healing, housing and youth.

To assist in this project, council and Regional NSW have engaged the services of Kate Baxter a consultant and chief executive officer of Red Earth Advisory.

Ms Baxter has worked extensively across rural NSW in community services and health, and vocational education and training with her recent project being with the Cross Border Commission to undertake the service mapping project for Boggabilla and Toomelah.

A lot of her experience and

expertise has been in the Western and New England regions of New South Wales which gives her a valuable insight into the challenges experienced in remote areas.

In 2018, she received a Member of the Order of Australia for significant service to education administration in rural NSW, to training programs for Indigenous students and to the community.

Red Earth Advisory will be looking at the community perspectives on availability and accessibility of service provision

across location, identifying service duplication and gaps and looking for opportunities for collaboration across services and domains.

Council’s general manager Nick Tobin said Red Earth Advisory will be working from the ground up to understand what would work best for the community and local government area.

In the statement released last week, council said it is expecting the consultant to undertake extensive engagement with the community both Aboriginal and

non-Aboriginal, to understand their view on effective community service provision for the shire.

The consultant will be attending the Moree, Mungindi and Boggabilla Community Connect days in April and visiting services face to face during April through to July 2023.

Council said it is committed to taking meaningful action to collate information that will provide insight and visibility to improve the coordination and range of services available to the Moree Plains community.

Exhibition chronicles les artist’s ‘bittersweet’ life change GUNNEDAH “Noise” has been transformed into art in Michelle York’s first solo exhibition at the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery.

Mushy – opening on Friday, April 21 – will give viewers a “glimpse” into Ms York’s “innermost thought processes” as she made the move to Newcastle after calling Gunnedah home for 30 years.

Ms York said she felt “drawn to document the process and preserve the memories surrounding this change”, so her exhibition pieces capture “details and memories” from Gunnedah and “the path to my new home-away-fromhome” in the metropolis.

“My internal dialogue was full of noise as I came to terms with the bittersweet feelings of moving,” Ms York said.

“I felt drawn to document the process and preserve the memories surrounding this change.

Through the expressive capability of mark-making in art, I was able to deeply examine my emotions about this transition. Guided by intuition and spontaneous movement, my feelings were pulled forward organically and translated onto the canvas.

“My childhood and memories from Gunnedah are so special to me; I wanted to document the process of moving as it is such an important part of my story.”

Mushy will feature 40 works of mixed media, combining digital and traditional techniques to create abstract pieces, and is self-titled.

The unique name is drawn from

the nickname she is known by among her friends in Gunnedah.

“Mushy” has been painting since she was a child and grew up in a creative environment.

“My mum was a talented, creative soul and always nurtured artistic expression. In high school, I was blessed with inspiring, encouraging teachers and it was my favourite subject. Their advice still often comes to mind when I paint now,” Ms York said.

“During different stages of my life, my friends have given me the courage to dive into my work and have supported me in pursuing my passion. Transitioning my hobby into a career is a transformative experience I am still journeying through.

“Painting and creating helps me process my thoughts in a productive way and brings me so much peace. I am constantly seeking inspiration, whether in person, through memories, media, or very often these days, online.

“My phone, computer, and sketch books are continually filling with ideas and concepts. Part of me thinks I have no say in the matter any more — I will always find a way to create.”

Mushy will open at 6pm on Friday, April 21 at the Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery at 81 Chandos Street and will continue until Wednesday, May 24.

RIGHT: Mushy is Michelle York’s first solo exhibition and documents her life-altering move from her home town of Gunnedah to her “new home-away-from home” in Newcastle.
