Severe thunderstorms strike The clean-up is underway after wild and woolly weather swept across Coonabarabran, bringing down powerlines, trees and infrastructure.

by GEORGIA SPENCE During the past week, Coonaba rab ran’s weather has reflected true summer conditions – b r i g ht, s u n ny d a y s and heavy storms in the afternoon and evening.

O n S u n d a y, 18 F e b r u a r y, t r a f f i c wa s s to p p e d o n t h e Newell Highway, at the souther n entrance to tow n , a f te r a s eve re s to r m b ro u g ht d ow n power l ines nea r the corner of Reservoir and

Bandulla Streets.

Due to the location of the incident, a diversion was not able to be put in place.

However, crews from Essential Energy worked s w if tly, replaci ng the pole and restor ing power to homes across the district.

The Newell Highway was re-opened to traffic shortly after.

The erratic storm saw numerous tree branches felled and damage to i n f ra s t r u ct u re a c ro s s

town.

Some residents repor ted up to 33 millimetres of rain within half an hour during the surge.

On Monday, another storm cell moved over the reg ion, w ith a number of lightning strikes recorded locally.

Sydney took the brunt of the storms, with four people struck by lightning. All remain in stable conditions.

The Bureau of Meteo rology (BoM)

issued a warning rega rd i ng a se r ies of troughs causing slowm ov i n g s h owe r s a n d thunderstorms.

BoM forecasts a medium chance of showers in the morning and afternoon on Thursday, 22 February, with nor th - easter ly winds hitting 25 kilometres an hour.

On Friday, there is a high chance of showers and temperatures of up 38 o C across the nor th west.

There were a number of fallen trees and branches as a result of last Sunday’s storm cell across Coonabarabran.

Wild weather on Sunday afternoon snapped the top of a powerpole located on the corner of Reservoir and Bandulla Streets in Coonabarabran, creating a blackout across the town and bringing traffic on the Newell Highway to a standstill for over an hour.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Heartbreaking I ’ve just f i n ished read i ng the a r ticle on the theft of a def ibr i l lat or i n you r last issue.

Mr Russ James said, “ We wa nt t o lo ok at the solution, not the problem. We can look at providing the kids w ith mor e ac t iv it ies and show support where we can – it can take a community to raise a kid.’’

Two things come out of that statement.

1. If the community h i r ed R i ng l i ng B r o s three-ring circus for the day and told everyone it was free entry with free food and free drinks, it would only give the lowl i fes i n t ow n a perfect opportunity to trash someone’s house while they attended the circus.

2. I’m not interested i n bei ng pa r t of the ‘community’ who raise someone else’s child, as I’m not into getting my

head kicked in by an irate parent!

T he s e k id s a r e no o n e ’s r e s p o n s i b i l i t y other than their parents!

The answer is simple, when the culprits are found, stick ‘em in Terry Tighe’s stocks.

Yours etc., Chris Evans Coonabarabran 2357 16.02.2024 Coonabarabran Woolworths: a disgrace I have been to m a ny Wo olwor t h s , Coles, IGA , A ldi etc. i n ever y stat e a nd territory in Australia, a nd t he Wo olwor t h s i n C oonaba rabra n is the worst supermarket I have had any association with...and it is getting worse.

S o what a re the problems? I w i l l l ist some of them and ask some questions: Why is the car park

canopy still not fixed months after the accident that damaged it? Not a good look. It can’t be the insurance company holding it up b e c au s e Wo olwor t h s has its own insurance company.

Shelves are left bare for days.

Shelves are stacked during the day and the goods are left in the aisles in their carts, making it difficult to get to goods, and they block access. Sometimes you have to move the stacked trolleys yourself to get to items.

Products on the shelves are not pushed t o t he f r ont s o t h at customers can see what there is. You have to reach into the shelves and drag the product or boxes out by yourself before you can decide whether you can buy it or not.

You can’t see or reach it ems on the bot t om shelves.

Items are not r epl ac ed on shelves .

Often the items are on the top shelf and you have to climb up and d rag the it ems f r om the top shelf. There is never any staff around to help you. Surely that is a worker health and safety issue?

It is so hard to find a staff person who will be available to get things from the top or bottom shelves. If you do your shopping you can bet you have to ask a staff person quite a number of times, so you give up.

It is even harder if you are short, disabled or an older person. I have never seen steps which could be used to reach up to get items from high shelves.

L at ely the cho ok cooker has been broken.

How many weeks does it take to get it fixed or a replacement? Don’t we have ele ctr icia ns in Coonabarabran? Or does Woolworths have

to use companies from Sydney? It has now been broken about a month. I could get a replacement chook cooker for them if they want one.

Egg and the veggie se ction ref r igeration a r e now a l s o on the blink.

There are certain days of the week where there a r e mor e c u s t ome r s than usual e.g. pension days. They are known

by Woolworths, but for customers it is really hard to get a trolley unless you wait for ages.

Pre-public holidays are ridiculous.

Wo olwor t h s k nows when public holidays a r e c om i n g up , a nd know there will be big shopping days, but they don’t make allowances for this. Food runs out really early so again lots of shelves are left bare. I am talking about fresh foods and basics. “ Deliver ies haven’t c ome yet ” i s the big excuse. Transport

is used as an excuse for every thing. P rice rises. Lack of products.

Garbage.

Every time an item is sold, the computer s y s t em at Wo ol ie s notes the sa le and therefore knows what is selling and needs to be replaced. Everything can be ordered automatically. Why isn’t that system working?

I f Wo olwo r t h s c a n’t get the their transport system under some c ont r ol , t hey shou ld be lo ok i ng at g iv i ng the logistics system to another company.

Prices and ticketing on the shelf is interesting. The prices are not always updated on the shelves a nd you don’t find out the current price until you get to the cashier. Many items don’t have prices on them at all.

So what should we do? C ompl a i n . D on’t just mumble about it and get agro. Nothing

I go to IGA most of the time now. Unfortunately t he y d o n’t h av e t he variety of goods, but you know what products they have, you can see what they don’t have w ithout rea r ra ng i ng the shelving yourself, you don’t have to use t okens for trol leys, the staff are friendly and helpful and they don’t t r eat you w ith disrespect.

W o o l w o r t h s Coonabarabran is worse than many superma rkets I have been t o. T he shop is dir ty. T he aisles are hazardous and because they think we will put up with anything, they treat you with contempt.

Pool closed for testing after students fall ill Coonabarabran Town Pool has re-opened to the public after microbiological testing was undertaken in response to events that unfolded at Coonabarabran High School’s swimming carnival last week.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Multiple students reported d i z z i n es s a nd vo m it i ng after the commencement of the annual carnival on Wednesday, 14 February.

An ambulance was called for one attendee, while more than 10 high schoolers fell ill at a similar time.

Teachers stopped students from entering the pool before midday, and the cohort returned to the school.

In response to the reports of people falling ill, the pool was closed as a precaution and War rumbungle Shire Council conducted microbiological sampling.

The samples were tested by an independent laboratory.

I n a m e d i a s ta t m e nt, Council advised that the samples taken complied with all water-quality criteria of the Public Swimming Pool Advisor y Document 2013,

Health Protection NSW. Council has also increased chlorine levels, back washed pool water and completed a deep clean of amenities including disinfecting floors, walls, benches, basins and toilets, before the pool was re-opened on Monday, 19 February.

However, the transparency surrounding the test results has concerned mother-oftwo and swim club attendee, Morag Baker.

“I do not blame anyone for what happened, I just want reassurance that it will not happen again and for Council to confirm the water was tested on the day,” Mrs Baker said.

“I understand there have b e e n m a l f u n ct i o n s w i t h the pool pump ove r the past three months, which affects how chemicals are recirculated.

“Once I got my kids home, I got them in the shower

straight away and an hour later they were fine. A bug w o u l d n o t r e s o l ve t h a t quickly. It just does not make sense.”

Mrs Baker said students had reported feeling dizzy and ill straight after they got out of the pool, and that most returned to school the following day.

She hopes Council will review its protocol for water te s t i n g a n d i nve s t i g a te further.

Council’s current protocol is to conduct multiple water quality tests to ensure the chlorine and pH levels of tow n p o o l s a re s a fe fo r swimming.

These activities are conducted daily at each of the six pools across the Shire.

NSW Health has recently issued a cr yptosporidiosis a l e r t fo r t h e s ta t e a n d encouraged the community not to swim for at least two weeks after they have had

diarrhoea.

Cr yptospor idiosis is a disease caused by cryptosporidium parasites.

T h e p a ra s ites i nfe ct t h e intestine, causing diarrhoea, and commonly survives for days in chlorinated pools.

Othe r s ymptom s can include nausea, vomiting, fever, headache and loss of appetite.

NSW Health said symptoms occur one to 12 days after an individual becomes infected and can last from days to weeks.

There has been a steep increase in cases across the state, however, no one from the school’s swimming carnival was repor ted as infected.

Students who wished to qualify for the North West Zone s w i m m i ng ca r n iva l we re ab l e to com pete during Wednesday sport to make up for races that were cancelled last week.

Team effort: man rescued following serious accident

Valentine’s Day Wednesday, 14 February 2024

A man in his 30’s was airlifted to hospital, after emergency services worked together to free the occupant from his vehicle following a serious motor vehicle accident on the weekend.

by GEORGIA SPENCE After the severe thunderstorms that swept across the region on Sunday, 18 February, emergency services were called to attend the scene of a single motor vehicle accident at around 6.00pm.

The report stated the driver, a man in his 30’s, was trapped in his utility on Purlewaugh Road, 15 kilometres east of Coonabarabran.

Prior to the accident, the driver of the vehicle was travelling west towards town, when he veered off the road, colliding with trees on a steep incline.

The occupant of the vehicle was unable to exit the car safely.

NSW Rural Fire Service provided fire protection as ambulance officers treated the driver at the scene. Police were also in attendance.

Coonabarabran

Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) used a chainsaw to remove trees and branches in order to reach the vehicle safely.

The VRA was also taksed with using battery-powered jaws and spreaders to remove the driver-side door, after ambulance officers deemed the occupant stable.

The driver was carefully removed from the vehicle and placed onto a spinal board.

Emergency services then carried the man up the steep bank, while the Westpac Rescue Helicopter landed on scene.

The driver was further assessed by the aircrew doctor before being airlifted to Tamworth Rural Referral Hospital in a stable condition.

A difficult job made much easier due to great teamwork from all emergency services personnel in attendance.

Enjoying Valentine’s Day were Teagan and Adrian Large.

Veronica Kenyon, Brooke, Matt and Livanah Doherty celebrated Valentine’s Day with a meal at Lotus Chinese Restaurant at the Coonabarabran Golf Club.

Local emergency services attended the scene of a serious motor vehicle accident on Purlewaugh Road, east of Coonabarabran on Sunday, 18 February.

Burra Bee Dee to serve as pilot for land management project A new program to boost the bushfire resilience of critical transport corridors by supporting Aboriginal cultural landscape management has been launched at four sites across NSW, including Coonabarabran.

T he $4.5 million pilot project was created in response to recommendations from the NSW Bushfire Inquiry, which followed the ‘ Black Summer ’ disaster three years ago.

A u s p i c e d b y Transport for NSW, the project suppor ts lo ca l Aboriginal communities to use traditional land management methods, including cultural burning, to reduce the risk of bushfires impacting key roads across the state.

L o c a l l y, t h e p i l o t

Brandon Nixon, CL A LC chief executive officer, said the project would help ensure the connection to the land and culture of the Gamilaraay people. “ There’s not a lot of Elders remaining, after a lot of Sorry business that has been happening

in the last few years,” Mr Nixon said.

“So it is really impor ta nt that we sit dow n w ith ou r Elders and get their perspective, lea r n about how they cared for the land and carry those traditions – they’re our storytellers.”

Bu r ra B ee Dee w i l l serve as the main location for the project, and Mr N i xon s a id it w i l l b e great to enhance the land and get people back on Country.

A joint research project will accompany

the program and explore how trad itiona l a nd cultural land and water management can be used t o bu i ld r e si l ienc e t o natural disasters into the transport network.

A bor ig i na l g roups will also be supported within a culturally-safe environment to ensure thei r busi ness models ca n del iver la ndscape m a n agement s er v ic e s to landowners and G over n ment onc e t he projects conclude in mid2025.

Minister for Aboriginal

Affairs and Treaty David Harris said Aboriginal people had been caring for Country as custodians and knowledge holders for tens of thousands of years. “ It ma kes sense for A b o r i g i n a l p e o pl e t o manage the landscape at these sites now and into the future, M r Harris said.

“Through this initiative, we are Closing the G ap by creati ng j o b s a nd emp ower i n g Aborig inal people and commu n ities t o be decision-makers.

“ T he project will streng then Abor ig inal communities and build knowledge and cultural her itage across the generations.”

T he pi lot is pa r t of the NSW Government’s $ 2 8 m i l l i o n N e t w o rk Resilience Program being delivered by TfNSW over fou r yea rs t o improve the State Road network’s resilience to bushfires.

Minister for Emergency Services, Jihad Dib said ha za rd reduc tion a nd mitigation played a key role in managing fire risk.

2024 Coona Show WORD for WORD aims to entertain!

In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quickfire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?”

And so the chain continues...

Do you have a nickname? Everyone just calls me Nick.

If you could have any superpower what would it be? Teleportation.

H ow d i d yo u co m e t o l i ve i n Coonabarabran? I moved here when I was two, when Dad got a principal position at the Primary School.

Have you read any good books or watched any good movies lately?

I’m not much of a reader, but the newest James Bond movie was good.

Where would people recognise your face? Probably through work and sport – I am a supervisor plumber for the Shire and I play footy and cricket.

What are the top three items on your bucket list? I would love to travel to Canada, watch the Ashes in England and I would love to go an NFL game in America.

What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? Probably when I was doing commercial plumbing in Sydney.

Do you have a hidden talent? Or what is something people might not know about you? I keep it pretty simple and I am a pretty open book, but I have been to Thailand.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? I like to go do some sort of exercise.

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?

Thoughtful, fun and caring.

What are your favourite places to visit on a road trip? The beach is always nice, or any sort of sporting game is good.

I f you had an an i ma l o r p l ant renamed in you r honou r, what would you want to carry your name?

A dog.

Do you have a favourite community event or group? Coonabarabran Cricket Club.

The 2024 Coonabarabran Show is coming up – to be held on 7, 8 and 9 March – and this year, entertainment has been a big focus of the committee.

The Show will kick off on Thursday evening, 7 March, with the Art Exhibition preview, commencing at 7pm.

Sue Brookhouse and her team of volunteers have worked hard over the last six months to renovate the art pavilion, with lots of help from local businesses and community groups.

“The art pavilion looks really good and we would love for you to come and enjoy it with us,” said Coonabarabran

PAI&H president, Callen Thompson.

“As well as getting the first look at the fantastic artworks submitted by our talented community, you will be entertained by the Orbital Swing Band.”

Friday night is always an action-packed favourite, with the running of the rodeo.

This year there will be bull riders of all ages entering, with the inclusion of mini bulls catering for cowboys

and cowgirls as young as eight.

On completion of the rodeo, ‘Where’s Dave?’ will provide entertainment near the main bar area.

“All Star Wrestling will be bringing hardhitting, pro-wrestling action to the Coona Show on the Saturday.

They will run matches throughout the day, with different wrestlers at each match – you are sure to see something unforgettable,” Mr

Thompson said.

“On Saturday night, one of Coona’s favourite bands, “Ballz ‘N’ All” will be playing at the main bar, with a short break for the fireworks at 9pm.

“This year, tickets can be purchased through 123tix; at the show office from 1.30pm Friday, 1 March; or at the gate.

“With a jampacked weekend of entertainment, we can’t wait to see you at the 2024 Coonabarabran Show.”

If you could pick a decade to visit in a time machine, what would it be?

The 1980’s – I reckon it was a cool time period for sport and there was more common sense.

If you could have anyone around for dinner who would it be? Connor McGregor.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? Probably on the weekend, in Newcastle.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? If you always say no, you will never say yes.

Who should we chat to next? Tyler Frazer.

The Coona Show rodeo provides plenty of entertainment, as well as giving young cowboys and cowgirls the chance to buck out some bulls.

We have been talking about where we live and finding out more about Australia, especially after our recent “Australia Day” celebrations. Everyone has had so much information to share during our group chats and discussions.

Friends have shared thei r hol id ay f u n a nd where they’ve been during this time. We’ve been travelling around so much that we cut out our very own steering wheels so we could go for more road trips, and follow some maps and the many roads around Australia.

Baradine remembers the ‘nashos’ A tribute has been paid to those who served our nation through compulsory military training following the Second World War.

by LIZ CUTTS Members of the Baradine RSL Woman’s Auxiliary held an afternoon tea on Wednesday, 14 February, to mark National Servicemen’s Day and to acknowledge the contribution of the servicemen known as the ‘nashos’.

The commemoration marks 52 years since the last intake of men were conscripted to join the National Service Scheme before it was abolished by the Whitlam Labor Government in 1972.

Between 1951 and 1972, almost 300,000 young men were called into two separate schemes for compulsory training in the navy, army, and air force. It was the height of the Cold War, when Australia feared for its defence capability in the face of Communist aggression and a time when memories of the war in the Pacific, Japanese attacks on Australia and the commencement of the Korean War in 1950 were fresh in Australia’s national consciousness.

It is just over 70 years since Baradine residents, Ian Eastburn and John King were called up to do their national service training.

Ian Eastburn has nothing but praise for the time he spent as a ‘nasho’ when he was enlisted in 1952.

“I was 19 years old and trained at the RAAF Schofields aerodrome near Blacktown, Sydney,” Mr Eastburn said.

“Us blokes from the bush always thought we were tougher than the city blokes, but they could do everything as well as we could. The training was pretty hard, and you had to pay attention at all times.

“We got on the train at Gwabegar at 10am and got to Sydney at 6am the next day. Sam Stackpoole, from Pilliga, was in my intake, and we used to play up a bit.

“I was allocated to airforce aerodrome defence as a Bren gunner; the training was basically the same as the army. It was a good experience all round and a good thing to do.

“The army recruits had to do three months training and then go back for three weeks every year for refresher training and be on standby for eight years. The air force did six months training and were reserves for fiveand-a-half years.

“At the end of the training I tried to join up permanently, but the

Peter Nelson’s

was a great learning period and I think the government should have kept it going.

“I was there when Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh visited Australia after the coronation – I have great memories of it all.

“We had a great time.

Our biggest headache was getting back to camp by 11.59pm, otherwise we were AWL! But it was an easy life because of the routine.

“When I finished my training, I stayed in for a further two weeks to prepare for the training of the next intake. It was a lot better than dealing with maggoty sheep!

“As far as I am concerned it was one of the best times of my life.”

John King and Ian Eastburn received certificates of appreciation for being ‘nasho’s’.

Eighteen-year-old John King (circled) with fellow servicemen and instructional staff of the 19th platoon.

WEATHER WATCH During the past week a third tropical cyclone, named Lincoln, passed through the G u l f o f Carpenta ri a and delivered heavy rain, mainly at Sweers, and Burketown, where 202mms fell in the 24 hours to 9am on Saturday, 17 February; the wettest February day since 211.4mms in 2017.

Burketown has recorded 540mms to date this month, the 10th time over the last 135 years.

Two of those –1983 and 2009 – were followed by heavy rain in February 1984 and 2010, and there was heavy rain in April and July of both 1984 and 2010 at most places from Victoria to outback Queensland. Heavy rain fell in both November and December as well.

Cyclone Lincoln then moved very quickly into the Northern Territory, where Tennant Creek recorded 138mms to Sunday morning, 18 February, the fourth -wettest February behind

Korean peace talks were underway, and we were told they did not want any more recruits.”

Ingleburn John King was 18 years old when he was enlisted as a nasho in February 1954.

“I was in the 19th p la to o n E c o m pa ny, 13th battalion at the Ingleburn army camp,” Mr King said.

“Local blokes, Fred and Jim Keegan were in the intake just before mine and Sammy Ryan was in the same hut as me.

Now there are only four of us left from that intake that I know of from the whole of the Baradine, Gulargambone, Coonamble and Dubbo area.

“The mateship and respect at the training was wonderful; it

153.6mms in 2003, 234mms in 1919 and 234mms in 1910.

The extreme heat is certainly on with a vengeance over the western half of Western Australia. Carnarvon recorded 49.9 degrees, Shark Bay also recorded 49.8; easily the hottestever day recorded at these two towns in well over 100 years.

It was not surprising that Carnarvon last year had its driest-ever year with only 53mms rainfall .This did set up these alltime record hot days this month.

Further south, Geraldon, with a maximum of 49.2, recorded its hottest-ever day. The previous hottest February days being in 1933, 1985 and 1991.

A warmer autumn is likely in our region.

Perth, with maximum of 40.6 on Sunday, 18 February, has recorded over 40 degrees for the sixth time this month.

On a warm day Coona won the toss and elected to bat. From the time t hey a r r ive d at t he crease, Coona’s openers batted positively and took the score past 50 in the 11th over before the loss of the first wicket.

However, that dismissal started a steady f low of wickets and the side was eventually bowled out in the 36th over for 131.

Nick Willoughby (58), Caine Thompson (25), Cameron Whittall (20 not out) and Anthony Harris (11) were the main contributors with the bat for Coona, while Nathan Tuena (4-31) a nd K en ny Joh n s on (3 - 9) wer e the mo st successful of the bowlers for the visitors.

In reply, Breelong’s opening batsmen chased down the runs very methodically. They guided the side to 0-72 at drinks and carried on with the job after the break, taking the score past the 132 needed for victory in the 32nd over.

Matt Everett (86) and L iam Z el l (3 9) were both not out at the end of the innings, giving Breelong an emphatic victory.

The best bowlers for C o on a wer e Jer icho C h at f ield , who t o ok 0-11 off five overs, and Nick Willoughby, who took 0-17 off 8 overs.

Linden Tree and Billy Bent Ear. Both those gallopers we r e b e at e n a n o s e at B e d g e r a b o n g t he previous week in the Cup and Bracelet, respectively.

Blinking Nomore and Sin City Belle set the pace in the 1400 metres Condobolin Picnic Cup, with Red Impulse and Linden Tree in handy spots.

Sent to the lead at the top of the straight by Leandro Ribeiro, Linden T r e e ( $ 3 f av o u r i t e) raced to a one-and-ahalf lengths’ win over stablemate and 2 022 Cup winner Valadyium (John Wilson, $6.50), and Red Impulse (Tony Williams, $3.60).

Billy Bent Ear, the grand warrior of central west racing, continues to amaze and the 11-yearold geld i ng t o ok the record to 17 wins and 40 placings and over $260,000 in prize money

from 144 starts when a brave winner of the 10 0 0 metres T rophy Handicap.

L e ad i n g f r o m t h e outset, Billy Bent Ear ( L eandro Ribeiro, $2 f av ou r it e), hu mpi n g 71.5kg, fought off every challenge in the straight to defeat Outback Cod (Zara Lewis, $4.20) and E q u i l i br iu m ( E m i ly Harrison, $21).

T he other w i n ner for Connie Greig and L eandro Ribeiro was Kalpana ($4), which took the lead from Richter and Costas well before the home turn and won by four leng ths from the heavily supported Irene Of Athens (Ricky Blewitt, $1.80 to $1.60 fav), and Costas (Zara L ewis, $6.50), in the 170 0 metres Class 3 Trophy Handicap.

Wel l i ng t on tra i ner Daniel Stanley provided the opportunity for a grateful Izzy Neale, who travelled from Sydney

to make her race-riding debut on Scruff’s Magic in the 1100 metres Class 1 Trophy Handicap.

Excelling at her only ride at the meeting, Izzy Nea le gave the ra n k outsider, Scruff’s Magic, a nice run midfield before easing to the outside in the straight.

Owned by a group of friends from Tullibigeal, S cr u f f ’s M ag ic ($21) won by over a length from Better Judgement (Grady Spokes, $4.20) and Camp Cove (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.20 fav).

Emerging as a possible runner in the $50,000 P icnic Championship later th is yea r at Coonamble, the Ashley Gibson, Gi lgand ratrained Foxstorm was a runaway winner of the 1400 metres Class 2 Trophy Handicap.

Ridden by Gilgandrabased Zara L ewis, Fox st or m ($ 9), f r om fifth position, dashed to

the front in the straight and won by over four lengths from the leader, Si ndaga r ( Brea n na B ou rke , $ 3 .6 0 ), a nd Cheeky Nugget (Leandro Ribeiro, $3.40 fav).

Condobolin attracted a big crowd, however, not many backed the opening winner, the outsider, Northern Excel, in the 10 0 0 metres M a iden Plate.

Cougars rep side go down in trials “The commitment and attitude were there but the ball security wasn’t!” Such were the sentiments of Brad James, captain/coach of the Castlereagh League representative side that played in the Western Rams trials last Saturday, 17 February.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE The Cougars were far from disgraced in their matches against both Group 10 and Group 11, going down by 12 points in each encounter.

Playing in very hot and steamy conditions at Wellington’s Kennard Pa rk, the Couga rs f i r st pl aye d ag a i n st Group 10, with their day getting off to an inglorious start when their opposition raced in for a converted try, wide out, in only the second minute of play.

However, from that point on the Castlereagh t e a m dom i n at ed t he game territorially, but their inability to hang on to the ball saw them f a i l t o c onve r t t h at t er r it or y i nt o poi nts on the scoreboard, and late in the second half the Group 10 side again went wide for another try to make the halftime score 10 poi nts to nil.

T he se cond sta n za opened far more pr o duc t ively for t he Cougars and with si x mi nutes elapsed , Castlereagh’s centre, Washie Itoya was able to touch down and they were on the board and in the game, with the score reading 10 to 4 in favour of Group 10.

While the scoreboard had improved for the Cougars their handling did not, and this most c er t a i n ly d id G r oup 10’s chances of victory no harm and with five m i nut es r ema i n i ng they went in for another converted try to make the final score 16 points to 4.

With the mercury and humidity combining to make conditions not at all pleasant, both the Castlereagh team and

Group 11 were keen to complete their on-field commitments for the day and, with minimal time between games, the Cougars were soon back out on the field.

It would seem that Gr oup 11 were wa r y of the Castlereagh forwards and the bulk of their attack saw the ball spread wide, resulting in three unconverted tries and a 12-nil final s c or el i ne w it h , onc e again, the Cougars’ lack of ball control not aiding their cause.

O b v i o u s l y

disappointed with the results, captain Brad James was none the less very proud of the effort put in by his team, as i nde e d wer e a l l t he C a s t ler e a g h L e a g ue supporters.

In summing up, the Castlereagh coach viewed the 2024 trials a s a spr i n g b o a r d t o f u r t her C a s t ler e a g h involvement in the years to come, recognising the fact that the younger players i n h is squad gained experience from being involved, which can only be a good thing

moving forward.

M a ny C a s t ler e a g h clubs are now organising trial games in preparation for the 2 0 2 4 s e a s o n , wh i c h will kick off on the 13 April with the League Tag and Youth League Knockouts being played at C oonaba rabra n, followed by the Senior Rugby League Knockout on 20 April at Coolah, with round one of the competition being played on 27 April.

Benefitting from a sprawling green space and recently updated amenities, festival organisers are quietly working behind the scenes to ensure this year’s 20 year celebrations will be one to remember.

One of the longest running, volunteer-led regional festivals in Australia, Moree on a Plate, to be held in May, was the brainchild of two local women, Margi Kirkby and Jenni Birch, whilst in the early stages of setting up their olive oil business, Gwydir Grove.

Margi – who remains on the committee and is as tireless as ever – laughs that it was perhaps an ill thought through plan.

“We were driving home from selling Gwydir Grove at an event in Tamworth, and we said ‘we can do this in Moree! Silly us!’,” Margi laughs.

MP renews call Moree on a Plate to mark return to racecourse in milestone year for crime inquiry Continued from front page

Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall has doubled down on his previous calls for a parliamentary inquiry into crime in rural and regional NSW. The state MP’s call for action follows what he described as another recent spate of violent and distressing incidents across the region.

Mr Marshall said he has seen more video footage of recent malicious break and enters, robbery, and theft in a number of communities.

“It concerns me that we are still having the same conversation, still watching more footage of repeated offences, carried out by repeat offenders and still hearing of the same trauma as this time last year,” Mr Marshall said.

“In October last year, I put my full support behind a call from the Country Mayors Association for an urgent parliamentary inquiry into regional, rural, and remote crime.

“I met with chairman and Gunnedah Shire mayor Jamie Chaffey in State Parliament, agreeing that an in-depth inquiry into the causes and remedies to a spike in crime across country NSW was warranted.

“The statistics clearly demonstrate that crime is substantially higher in regional, rural and remote communities compared to our city counterparts.

“The most recent data from the authorities show that youth crime continues to rise, especially for stealing motor vehicles and break and enter offences.

“This cannot go on and something has to be done.”

Mr Marshall said local police deserved to be “backed up” by government and the courts and the calls for the inquiry had drawn support recently from the NSW Country Women’s Association.

“Our men and women in blue across country NSW do a fantastic job, but the evidence is clear, crime is consistently on the rise across our regions and yet our police force is shrinking in numbers by comparison,” he said.

“I am flabbergasted by the Police Minister’s dismissive attitude toward the need for an inquiry and urgent action.

“We cannot continue on this trajectory with community members left traumatised and elderly residents scared to sleep in their own beds at night.

“Now is the time to send in the cavalry and get on top of this issue immediately, not put your head in the sand. We need a proper

Marshall backs Country Mayors’ push for regional crime inquiry A push by the Country Mayors Association to establish a parliamentary inquiry into regional, rural, and remote crime has received the backing of state Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall.

Mr Marshall met with the association’s chair, Gunnedah Shire Council mayor Jamie Chaffey, in the NSW Parliament last week.

The Country Mayors Association announced on Thursday it had joined forces with the Police Association of NSW and NSW Farmers to call for the inquiry.

Mr Marshall said an in-depth inquiry into the causes and remedies to a spike in crime across country NSW was warranted.

“Our men and women in blue across country NSW do a fantastic job, but the evidence is clear, crime is consistently on the rise across our regions and yet our police force is shrinking in numbers by comparison,” Mr Marshall said.

“Just as we saw with the health system last year, I believe the time has well and truly come for a rootand-branch review of rural crime and policing to ensure we have the resources and strategies we need to guarantee the safety and well-being of country communities.”

“Sadly, we are all too aware of the alarming statistics for vehicle theft, serious break and enters, damage to property and assault offences.

“We now have statistics to back this up, with rates of crime substantially higher in regional, rural, and remote communities compared to our city counterparts, but with substantially less police per head of population than any other State or Territory in Australia “Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research data also highlights the problem is exacerbated by inadequate police resources in some of our communities.”

Mr Marshall said following a recent and terrifying spate of crime in Moree, an inquiry couldn’t come at a better time.

“I have seen video footage of vicious, malicious, break-and-enters that terrifies me and the community,” he said.

Mr Marshall said he would throw his support behind the establishment of an inquiry when parliament resumes next month.

Cr Chaffey said statistics showed residents of rural, regional and remote NSW were more likely to be sexually assaulted, more likely to have their cars stolen, more likely to have their homes broken into and more likely to be impacted by domestic violence. And when these crimes did occur, the police response was delayed due to the resources available.

“It is estimated one-third of New South Wales’ population live outside metropolitan areas,” Cr Chaffey said.

“It certainly was a lot of work growing the festival to the wonderful, high quality event it is today, yet it’s all been very well worth it.”

From a small farmers’ market style event, today’s festival attracts thousands of visitors and tourists to the region, scores of regional producers showcasing their fare, and over the past 20 years has welcomed celebrity chefs such as Ed Halmagyi (Fast Ed), Ben O’Donoghue, Alastair McLeod, Marion Grasby, Lyndey Milan, Dominque Rizzo and Mark Olive.

inquiry to delve into the underlying issues and long-term solutions to what is fast becoming a crisis in the bush.

“Just doing more of the same is no longer an option for our rural communities – it’s time for the government to act.”

As reported in last week’s North Western Guide, Mr Marshall also renewed his push for the local court circuit to get tough on repeat juvenile offenders.

“This is obviously a multi-faceted issue – and a parliamentary inquiry would be a very good place to start to turn this around,” he said.

“I won’t let this issue go and I’ll keep fighting on behalf of our communities and our local police.”

Following calls for an inquiry last year, Police Minister Yasmin Catley told a NSW Budget Estimates committee she will not support an inquiry into regional and rural crime.

“I’m a little concerned about how quickly we jump to this step of having a parliamentary inquiry,” Ms Catley said at the time.

“Every time we ask for a parliamentary inquiry, we are taking more police away from doing their job, which is out in the community, because we’ve got them in here in the New South Wales Parliament in front of an inquiry.”

State-of-the-art Platypus Rescue HQ opens in Dubbo of NSW’s Centre for Ecosystem Science thanks to support from San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and WIRES.

The world’s largest purposebuilt platypus conservation centre, Platypus Rescue HQ, has been opened at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo on Wiradjuri Country, providing a world-class refuge for wild platypus.

The state-of-the-art centre can house up to 65 platypus during severe environmental events such as droughts, bushfires and floods.

The facility combines rescue and rehabilitation facilities, a research centre to study platypus behaviour and a pre-release area to prepare recovered platypus for return to the wild.

It also houses a public, purposebuilt platypus habitat, where guests will be able to see and learn more about this cryptic monotreme for the first time at Taronga Western Plains Zoo. It will provide behind-thescenes insight into modern conservation and research.

Australia and philanthropic donors.

The platypus is one of the world’s last remaining monotremes and like many other Australian wildlife, is susceptible to the impacts of climate change and habitat loss.

Platypus Rescue HQ will allow researchers and staff to refine

the conservation strategy for platypus by filling knowledge gaps across the species’ breeding behaviour, biology and genetics.

The new centre will see cuttingedge research delivered in partnership with the University

Minister for Climate Change and the Environment Penny Sharpe said: “It’s wonderful to see the doors officially open for a centre that is going to support the future of the platypus – a much-loved and iconic Australian animal.

“We’re committed to supporting the population of this species, protecting them from the impacts of climate change and habitat loss, and preserving their numbers in the wild for years to come.

“That’s why it’s important to have a facility like Platypus Rescue HQ, with the ability to research and rescue platypus and use features like a pre-release creek to help with their rehabilitation before they’re released back into the wild.”

Treasurer of NSW Daniel Mookhey said: “The NSW Government is committed to supporting state-ofthe-art preparedness facilities like this in our regions, that not only provide benefits to our native wildlife but also to our regional economies.

Construction of the new $12.1 million Platypus Rescue HQ facility has been jointly funded by the NSW Government, Taronga Conservation Society

“We’re so grateful for the support of the NSW generous donors including San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and WIRES, who have enabled this vision to become a reality and eye with a platypus and see conservation in action.”

“We expect there will be an increase in visitors to the area to see this iconic species in a natural-like environment.

“The new centre has also created jobs for the region during the construction and will enable the zoo to bring on additional employees.

Multiple graduate and postgraduate student projects will also be supported.”

Taronga Conservation Society Australia CEO Cameron Kerr AO said: “Shy and enigmatic, platypus are the silent victims of climate change, with their decline largely hidden from public view.
