Warrumbungle Young Woman winners announced Three local entrants have been selected to compete in the zone finals of the 2024 Sydney Royal AgShows NSW Young Woman.

by LIZ CUTTS Baradine, Binnaway and Mendooran Show Societies all have entrants going to the next stage of judging in the ‘Young Woman of the Year’, which culminates with the announcement of the overall winner of the competition at the 2024 Sydney Royal Easter Show.

The combined show societies winners we re revea l ed at a n evening event hosted by the Baradine PA&H Association, held at the town’s memorial hall on Saturday, 18 November.

The Sydney Royal Easter Show entered a new era in 2019 when its iconic Showgi r l Competition was renamed, after 60 years, to Young Woman of the Year.

T h e N S W Yo u n g Wo m a n c o m p et i t i o n

a i ms to f i nd a young wo m a n to a ct a s a n ambas sado r fo r r u ra l N S W, w i t h h e r r o l e involving many official and informal duties both a t t h e Syd n ey Roya l Easter Show and during travels interstate and overseas.

The four young women keen to represent their community were Emily King (Binnaway), Abygael Rushton-Butler (Mendooran), Zalia Curtis (Baradine) and Eleanor Rapley (Binnaway).

Master of ceremonies, Ma rga ret McK i nnon welcomed the re p re s e nta t i ve s f ro m the Baradine, Binnaway and Mendooran Show S o c i et i e s , l a s t ye a r’s Baradine Young Woman, Erin Tym, and judges Billy Fisher and Louise Deans.

D u r i ng the j udg i ng p r o c e s s e a c h showgi r l under went

a 15 -minute inter view with a panel of three judges at Camp Cypress during the day, where they also attended a luncheon. Entrants were judged on personality, confidence, ambition and life goals, general knowledge, rural knowledge, presentation and speech.

T h e eve n i n g proceedings included a brief on-stage presentation from each entrant before the judging results were announced.

Lou i se D eans, f rom Baradine, former Sydney Royal Easte r Showg i r l w i n n e r, sa i d s h e wa s delighted to be invited to judge the competition.

“This competition has been running since 1962 a n d I wa s p r i v i l eg ed to be Miss Royal Easter S h owg i r l i n t h e m i d 1970s,” Mrs Deans said.

“The competition name may have changed in recent years to reflect cultural word correctness, but its aims a nd va l ues have not changed.

Not a beauty pageant “ It i s n ot a b e a ut y pageant – and it never has been. The young women chosen are representing their l o ca l s h o w s o c i et i e s and must show a general knowledge of local, national and i nte r n at i o n a l eve nt s .

They really are young ambassadors.

“As we all know, it takes a ce r ta i n a m o u nt of courage to allow yourself to be judged, especially at a local level. If you are chosen to go on to zone judging you will meet m a ny yo u n g wo m e n from all over the zone.

“After zone judging you are then on your

way to Sydney, where opportunity awaits you; so many interesting people and places to see and experiences you would not normally have.

You become guests of the R.A.S. for the entire Royal Easter Show, with lots of privileges to enjoy.

Yo u w i l l m e et m a n y people from different walks of life and you will,

no doubt, be interviewed many times.

“The personal growth opportunity is enormous.

It really is an opportunity of a lifetime and you will carr y that experience w ith you al ways, so treasure this special time and enjoy every moment.

“I have enjoyed today’s judging enormously and w i s h a l l t h e e nt ra nt s

the ver y best in thei r futu re endeavou r s.

Congratulations to you all.”

T h e t h re e e nt ra nt s c h o s e n to r e p r e s e nt their communities and p roceed to the zone finals were Emily King, Abygael Rushton-Butler and Za l ia Cu r ti s w ith Eleanor Rapley named runner-up.

Imperial Hotel dining – simply the best Coonabarabran’s Imperial Hotel has taken out the award for Best Regional Casual Dining at the Australian Hotels Association (AHA) NSW Awards for Excellence.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Held at R a ndw ic k Racecourse, the A H A awa rds identi f ied o u t s t a n d i n g v e nu e s t h r o u g h o ut N S W, honouring the achievements of hotels ac r o s s a n a r r ay of c at eg or ie s i nclud i ng dining, accommodation, entertainment and more.

No.2 building Cutting edge up in flames At 8.22pm on Saturday, 18 November, Fire and Rescue NSW were called to a building fire near Coonabarabran’s number two oval.

by JIMMY WHALAN Fire and Rescue NSW were joined by crews from NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) Castlereagh Zone at the scene, along with Police, Ambulance and Essential Energy personnel.

Dean McKernan, captain of Fire and Rescue NSW Station 264, said crews worked to extinguish the blaze from both sides of the structure.

“We gained control of the fire within the hour, but we had multiple reignitions throughout the night,” he said.

Mr McKernan said crews were called back to the scene at 5.30am on Sunday, 19 November, following one of these re-ignitions.

“This was due to the layout of the building, which made it difficult to gain access where we needed – and to do it safely.”

Mr McKernan said the building’s close proximity to high voltage powerlines also caused difficulty, as it posed a danger to crews while trying to

manoeuvre to avoid the lines.

He extended his thanks to the efforts of all who helped in extinguishing the blaze.

“It was a great team effort from all of the agencies involved.”

As a Warrumbungle Shire Council owned asset, Council has confirmed they will be pursuing an insurance claim to help cover damage to the building.

A NSW Police Force spokesperson said officers attached to Orana MidWestern Police District attended and established a crime scene.

Although the exact cause of the fire remained unknown at the time of going to print, the spokesperson said police were treating the incident as suspicious.

As inquiries continue, anyone with information about the incident, or anyone with dashcam or CCTV footage from the area, is urged to contact Coonabarabran Police Station or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Fire and Rescue NSW Coonabarabran were assisted by RFS crews in battling a fire that broke out in the number two oval building on Saturday evening.

at Cooinda

More than 150 people braved the heat on Saturday, 18 November, to help Cooinda Coonabarabran celebrate the official opening of its new purpose-built Grevillea Wing.

Eight years in the making, the project commenced when Cooinda successfully applied for grant funding in 2015.

The final result is 25 individual bedrooms - each boasting its own ensuite, along with a new lounge room, extension of the dining area, and upgrades to the administration area, courtyard and activities room.

Further funding in recent years has also allowed the delivery of a renovated laundry and kitchen, as well as the purchase of transportable, two-bedroom staff housing, upgrades to the fire -safety system and a new maintenance shed.

Overall, Cooinda has completed over $10 million of projects, with $4 million contributed from its own funds.

Maria Deep, current chair of the Cooinda Board, said since she joined the Board in 2016 there had always been a building project in the works at Cooinda.

“Along the way there have been all sorts of challenges which we have had to overcome in order to achieve the wonderful results,” Mrs Deep said.

“Things like shortages of tradesmen and building materials, not to mention the devastating impact of COVID-19.

“I would like to congratulate the management and staff of Cooinda and the builders for persevering during the difficult times while the renovations were being done.”

Mrs Deep said to complete these complex building projects to such a high standard without any major

disasters in this environment, was remarkable.

“And while this has been a team effort, our CEO, Leanne Redfern, deser ves a special mention Leanne has been heavily involved in these projects from beginning to end,” she said.

“From apply i ng fo r g rants to selecti ng the furnishings, she has dealt with every hurdle that came her way and grown and matured the organisation in the process to the point where we are now held up by some authorities in aged care as a model organisation.

“What I’m really delighted about is the difference it has made to staff morale - everyone is delighted with their new surroundings and this is reflected in their happy, smiling faces.”

For Cooinda CEO, Leanne Redfern, the whole project had been an amazing achievement, considering that Cooinda remained a communityowned organisation and a not-for-profit registered charity.

“From all our residents, staff and board I would like to say thank you to you our community, for your ongoing support to Cooinda,” Mrs Redfern said.

“But we won’t be stopping here and will be applying for the next round of Government funding to refurbish the hostel building, now known as the Waratah Wing.

“We are excited about what the future holds for Cooinda as we strive to ensure that our buildings and services are attractive for our existing and future consumers.”

Council’s kitchen nightmare In October, community member Lynda Brain attended the Coonabarabran Town Hall to assist with catering for an event – but what she found when she arrived looked more like a petri dish than somewhere to prepare food.

by JIMMY WHALAN Ms Brain said upon arrival at the hall, the dishwasher was covered in mould, the stove tops were filthy, there was mould in the crockery cupboa rd , there was mouse excrement throughout, and exposed pipes above the stove in place of a splashback.

“Clearly a kitchen in this state represents a hea lth haza rd and raises a few health and safety issues,” Ms Brain said.

She consequently r a i s e d her c onc er n s at the Warrumbungle Shire Council, event u a l ly spe a k i ng with Council’s director technical ser v ices, Nicole Benson, rega rd i ng the poor condition of the Town Hall facilities. “ I showe d her t he photos, but she declined to offer assistance on the basis that the property management position was vacant, and that it was too late on a Friday afternoon to have the

kitchen cleaned.”

As a result, Ms Brain said she and the other c om mu n it y member s using the facility were lef t w ith no option but to clean the hall

themselves.

Council response Ms Benson said until a few weeks ago, Council’s property officer position had remained vacant for a significant period

of time.

Art re-imagined The old Westpac bank in John Street, Coonabarabran, has been transformed into an immersive world of contrast and creativity.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Anticipation is building for the grand opening of Simon Martin’s new gallery, set inside the walls of the former bank building, with doors opening for ticket holders on the evening of 2 December.

Attendees can expect to receive a warm welcome from the local artist, as they step into an immersive collection of original art.

With the majority of tickets sold, Mr Martin said he was happy with the community engagement received and he was expecting a good turn out to the event.

“My art takes time, effort and resources.

It is unique in style, technique and form, with some paintings taking

200 hours and litres of paint,” Mr Martin said.

“Sales go back into the community and renovations. I am not going on holidays or buying a new car. The community has a bond with this building and it is important to me and my art.

“This is just the start line, not the finish line. The gallery and the building will only progress and evolve.”

Following the grand opening, the gallery will open to the public from 4-24 December, seven days a week.

Mr Martin hopes the public will come in and enjoy a similar experience to those gathering on opening night.

He said his art is new to the world, but has an

ancient feel.

The patterns involved with his work aim to release emotions of peace and relaxation.

“I am more interested in what people feel. Each painting individually evokes a physiological response, which varies to each individual,” Mr Martin said.

“Some have a lot of movement to them, however, the movement is not in the painting – it is inside of you and how you tune in with the painting.”

Mr Martin’s future plans involve hosting more events, creating art works and continuing his renovations.

“The main thing I want is for people to have a really good time and that people want to come again.”

WORD

for WORD

In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quick-fire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?” And so the chain continues...

Do you have a nickname? I have had a number of nicknames over the years. ‘Jingles’ is one – it comes from my army days. Before we went on operations I would make the men jump up and down to make sure there weren’t any jingles on their gear, because you had to be quiet.

I served in Vietnam as Lieutenant and Captain. I was called ‘Spider’ in those days too, because I liked wo r k ing w ith and cl imbing the ropes.

H o w d i d yo u co m e t o l i ve i n Coonabarabran? I came here to coordinate Blaze Aid 10 years ago, after the big fires – helping farmers get back together and building fences.

What ’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? Most interesting I think was when I was in the army and became involved in cryptography.

It had to do with all the top secret machines and codes and things.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? I am an A Current Affair addict – I love watching it.

How would your friends and family describe you in three words? I am intense, scientific and have always been known to be a leader.

I f you could pick a decade to v i s i t o n a t i m e m a ch i n e w h a t would it be? I think the start of the 19th century when things were changing and happening. When more science and technology was coming through. I would like to be able to see the start of things and compare where they have ended up at this stage, let alone where they will end.

Have you read any good books lately? Just finished reading The Amazing SAS, by Ian McPhedran, on Australian Special Forces.

D o you h a ve a n i n t e res t i n g o r random fact to share? No matter how long you live it seems things come and go in cycles.

What is something people might not know about you? I have a ver y strong Christian faith. I also joined the army at 16 years as an electronics apprentice. I was in the army for 13 years.

What technology have you most seen change? Battery technology has changed the most. What they put into batteries now and where they can be used is amazing. When I first started, a battery was the size of a car battery or big cube and now it is in your pacemaker. Micro electronics have also changed the name of the game all together.

Do you have a favourite community event? I am a member of Rotary.

I like being part of it because we support community activities.

If you could have anyone around for dinner (dead or alive) who would it be? Winston Churchill. I admire the man and his leadership.

And what would you cook them?

I’m not much of a cook, but a roast is easy enough for me to do.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? Quite often. I had my son visit me and we had a lot of good laughs.

What are you doing for Christmas?

Is there something in particular you are wishing for this Christmas?

Christmas out here with the family.

Being 82 you wish for the next year.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? My old man told me never to let an opportunity to slip over your head, it causes baldness.

Hot diggety dog!

Former local author, Elizabeth Macintosh has recently been published in an anthology for children, raising money for story dogs in schools.

by JIMMY WHALAN The book, titled ‘Hot Diggety Dog! Tales from the Bark Side,’ includes several short stories and poems written by various authors – and all about dogs!

Mrs Macintosh said she and several other writers recently attended the launch of the anthology at Books@ Stones in Brisbane.

“The fun event was attended by about 50 people and involved readings, crafts and book signings – all with a dogrelated theme,” she said.

A product of the Share Your Story Anthology Angels Writing Competition, these funny, quirky, and whimsical stories about man’s best friend made

this book a winner.

Mrs Macintosh said the proceeds from the book would be donated as a fund-raiser for Story Dogs in schools.

According to the Story Dogs organisation, these dogs provide children with the opportunity to read in a nonjudgemental setting, and has been shown to improve focus, literacy skills and confidence in students.

“The accepting, loving nature of dogs gives this program its magic and helps children relax, try harder and have fun while reading to a friendly, calm dog,” Mrs Macintosh said.

One of her stories in the anthology, ‘Not Just Cute,’ tells the story about a caramel

labradoodle who proves to be a hero.

“My other story, ‘Dream Big, Tassie,’ was inspired by a real Australian Terrier who became a cattle dog as well as a loving family pet,” Mrs Macintosh said.

Mrs Macintosh has also been published in several other anthologies for children, young adults, and adults, including one that made

the front cover of The School Magazine in July.

Mrs Macintosh said copies of ‘Hot Diggety Dog! Tales from the Bark Side’ are available from Amazon, with all profits going towards the sponsorship of a Story Dog. “It makes a great Christmas present for the children in your life and supports a charity at the same time.”

CPS staff unleash their inner-artist Coonabarabran Public School (CPS) staff recently added a splash of colour to the school, as teachers and support staff joined in painting a brightly-coloured mural.

by JIMMY WHALAN Coordinated by Headspace during a wellbeing day, CPS staff were guided by Illawarra-based artist Kate Stehr to create this mural using stencils and spray paint.

In what proved to be a somewhat messy process with clouds of paint flowing through the air, the mural ultimately came together as a beautiful display featuring two birds surrounded by trees and flowers.

All staff contributed to the project on the day, making the mural a beautiful and lasting reminder of what can be achieved when working as a team.

Ms Stehr has been a visual arts teacher for over 15 years and has worked with several schools to create designs with staff, with these paintings generally being bright in colour and focussing on native flora and fauna.

The Coonabarabran community has been coloured with a multitude of murals in recent years, with many businesses around the town adopting these bright new facades.

Ms Stehr said her point of difference was her ability to work with all members of school communities, helping them to create the artwork themselves, rather than taking control of the project.

Barbie with the blokes On Friday, 17 November, the Rotary Club of Coonabarabran hosted a ‘Barbie with the Blokes’ at the Coonabarabran Club, which aimed to provide a relaxed environment for often tough conversations about mental health.

How to get mental health support

by EMMA HARVEY The further you live outside of a major city, the harder it is to get help. But exactly what mental health services are available to us, and how do we access them?

A ro u n d o n e - i n - f i v e A u s t r a l i a n s w i l l experience a mental-health condition, but in rural areas, the barriers to accessing support services increase with how remote you live.

In Coonabarabran, there are no local psychologists. Look up counselling or psychological services in the area and you are redirected to clinics in Dubbo, Mudgee even. For smaller towns like Binnaway or Baradine, the options are even thinner.

Since the COVID pandemic, many services have addressed these geographical barriers by alternating traditional face-to-face services with technology-based service delivery. With Telehealth, you can book sessions with a psychologist over the phone, or via video call, without leaving the house.

If you, or someone you know, would like to seek help from a psychologist or qualified mental health professional, this article outlines the process for accessing psychological services out here in the bush.

Accessing mental health services can be confusing. Let’s break it down.

STEP 1: Make an appointment with your GP to obtain a Mental Health Treatment Plan.

Book a mental health assessment with your doctor (this typically involves a longer appointment, so it is worth asking about this when you book.) Your doctor will ask a few questions, fill in the plan, and you will set goals together.

by JIMMY WHALAN Coonabarabran Rotary Club president, Russ James said a total fire ban on the day meant they were unable to hold the traditional Tongan umu as planned, instead, Rotary supplied their barbecue trailer – serving up some steak sandwiches.

“I think the topic of the event, however, was much more important than the food,” Mr James said.

About 30 men, ranging in age from 19 to 90, joined the event to connect with each other and have conversations about mental health.

Bruno Efoti, founder of Tradies in Sight, helped to facilitate these conversations through the sharing of his own experiences.

Having grown up in Tonga in a village of around 200 people, Bruno said it was normal for everyone to gather for meals and discuss any issues they might be having.

When he moved to Australia in his twenties, Bruno noticed how men in Australia didn’t talk to each other in the same way.

He then began to share food with some men and found that when people sat down together for a meal, they actually tended to open up more.

Mr James said Bruno had also shared some of his own experiences on the night, when he talked about the effect the death of a mate had had on him.

“By being vulnerable about his own experiences, Bruno gave us permission to open up about our experiences,” Mr James said.

“It really just starts with being genuinely interested in people and how they are, and it just goes from there.”

Mr James said Bruno also emphasised the importance of older blokes engaging in conversations about mental health, and that it is their responsibility to be able to set an example for their children and grandchildren about discussing mental health.

“Bruno de-stigmatised these conversations and showed it’s normal and

important to have these conversations with each other,” Mr James said.

“I think a lot of men often don’t want to be seen as weak, so they often don’t usually engage in these conversations.”

Mr James said he had already received some positive feedback about the event and that many expressed their willingness to attend the next event in December.

“The way the sessions are run provides a relaxed environment, with small groups of blokes talking to each other, rather than everyone listening to a single speaker the whole time,” Mr James said.

“Part of the future sessions will see men moving past the initial “are you okay?” and fostering an environment to move into those deeper conversations.”

The next event is already in the works, with plans to hold regular sessions until the end of June 2024.

“At the moment, the plan is to have these sessions at least once a month, and possibly every fortnight.”

Mr James said the main takeaway from the first session was to be able to listen better and develop genuine interest in people and how they are going, to be willing to hear people’s stories, and build relationships that make people comfortable to have these conversations about mental health.

Moving forward, Mr James said he hopes the men in the community continue to attend these sessions, and that he hopes to work more closely with other mentalhealth agencies throughout the course of the project.

Mr James hopes to connect people to support services including Mission Australia, Lifeline, and Beyond Blue in the future, and to reduce the stigma around utilising these support networks.

“People may be reluctant to call initially, but if a friend recommends it, it might destigmatise making the call and make them more likely to get in contact.”

STEP 2: Find a psychologist that suits you.

When developing your Mental Health Treatment Plan, your GP can refer you to a psychologist that they recommend. You also have the option of doing your own research, and finding a psychologist who specialises in the area you want help with (book ahead

with this psychologist before going to the GP so they know who to make the referral out to).

TIP: Across Australia psychologists are reporting waiting lists for new patients that are many months long.

It helps to try to book in with your psychologist as soon as possible and get on to any waitlists they may have.

Appointments via Telehealth could dramatically increase your access, as you can research Australia-wide for a psychologist with less wait times.

The maximum number of Medicarebacked psychologist appointments you can be referred to initially is six.

You can then be referred on for a further forum with a combined limit of 10 psychological appointments per calendar year.

Once you have an eligible Mental Health Treatment Plan from your GP, the government will provide you with a rebate, or pay part of the costs for accessing psychological services: If you see a registered psychologist, you will get back $89.65.

If you see a clinical psychologist, you will get back $131.65.

TIP: You can always change psychologists if you do not feel comfortable or satisfied with the person you are seeing.

Your Mental Health Care Plan does not expire, however, you will need to visit your GP to get a new referral to a different psychologist.

STEP 3: Seek help in the interim if you need It If you are waiting to see a psychologist, and you need help in the meantime, please seek help from online sources.

In Australia there is free and confidential emotional support, 24-hours a day, 365 days a year: • Call Lifeline Australia at 13 11 14 or the Suicide Call Back Service at 1300 659 467.

Focus on farmers Brittany Doolan, a Coonabarabran local studying psychology, has created a wellbeing resource designed for farmers as part of a university research project.

by JIMMY WHALAN Currently completing her Honours degree at Deakin University, Brittany, in partnership with the National Centre for Farmer Health, has created a mental wellbeing resource specifically for farmers and people working in the agricultural sector.

“Rural mental health has always been a

massive passion of mine,” Brittany said.

“Experiencing the impact that the environment and financial pressures have on rural communities and the limited understanding and availability of services that are tailored to rural communities, really drove me to work on this project.”

The aim of the project was to design a mental wellbeing resource for farmers and people in rural communities that they can use themselves, without having to, for example, Google psychological care or doing Telehealth.

“The idea is that people will have the resources to manage their mental wellbeing on their own, before it gets to a crisis level,” she said.

“With this project, I am looking for farmers and people living in rural communities to participate in the project,” she said.

“As part of this, the participants would fill out the preventative plan we’ve created and provide their feedback on, for example, the wording and layout of the project, and what they think can be improved.

Back into the swim of things A town swimming pool is more than a place to cool down, it also offers aquatic activities to improve on skills, health and fitness.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The local pool is popular in Australian culture, offering a chance to splash, to socialise and build a low-stress exercise routine.

In Coonabarabran, the Council-operated swimming pool is host to multiple activities, providing locals with exercise options and the learning of technical swim skills.

L o ca l g r o u p s Aq u a Ae r o b i c s a n d Swimming Club provide beneficial activities, encouraging locals to move their bodies, all while keeping cool.

Aquatic exercise relieves stress on the muscles and joi nts, whi le the natu ral resistance from moving through water helps strengthen the body.

Both clubs encourage the benefits in different ways.

Swimming Club Swimming Club teaches competitive swimming by building on stroke techniques and learning to start off the blocks.

Club president, David McWhirter said time trials are also a regular part of the Swimming Club program that help teach swimmers how to compete in a healthy and supported manner.

Swimming Club is run by volunteers and currently involves 26 juniors, with hopes for more to join when the water temperature rises.

In order to join, participants must be able to confidently swim a 50-metre lap of freestyle.

Having been involved in the club for nine years, Mr McWhirter understands the positive outcomes of swimming competitively.

“The sk i l l s l ea r nt g ive ch i ld ren and teenagers an advantage in school carnivals and those progressing to higher levels like zone and state championships,” Mr McWhirter said. “ We e n j oy te a c h i n g , s o t h e m o re swimmers we get to teach, the happier we are.”

Squad and lap training runs from Monday to Wednesday at 6pm, with time trials held on Thursday at 6pm.

F ro m t h e we e k l y t i m e t r i a l s, w h e n swimmers beat their previous time, they accrue points towards the end-of-season club championship.

Water aerobics Water aerobics is a non-competitive form of exercise at the pool, offering hour-long sessions that help keep joints and muscles strong.

Within the Aqua Aerobics Club there are five trained instructors, providing a sense of variety for each session.

One instructor is Fay Chapman, who has participated in water aerobics since 2009.

Mrs Chapman is officially trained and continues her training each year to upgrade her skills and gain inspiration for her sessions.

Water aerobics runs six days a week and is open to anyone.

“It is really good socially and you can go at your own pace. Everyone is happy and smiling and looks out for each other,” Mrs Chapman said.

“I just love it, I find it makes me feel really good.”

“We enjoy teaching,” said Coonabarabaran Swimming Club president, David McWhirter.

Love your guts with Jess Ford Guts Health, Guts Happy is a new health and wellness business opened by nutritionist and wellness coach, Jess Ford. Her services are open to anyone looking for a lifestyle change or who face nutritional concerns and want to discover healthier options.

What inspired you to open your business - Guts Healthy, Guts Happy?

I had health issues and I was always lethargic. I was sick of being sick. Once COVID came, I decided to take health into my own hands, instead of solely relying on the medical system. I decided to make a really big shift and focus on nutrition, balancing work, family and all the different dimensions of health including spiritual health, physical health and mental health.

I feel like I was lacking in all of that three years ago and so I focused on finding a balance to live a healthy and happy life.

You can be really fit, but that doesn’t mean you have a good spiritual or mental health.

What options do you provide?

I can provide meal plans for individuals and families. If people have life goals, I can follow up with them weekly and help find balance. What I provide does not solely focus on nutrition, it covers many practices of wellness. I can also refer people onto other health professionals.

What would you say to someone who is struggling with their mental or physical health?

Movement is very important for mental and physical health. It releases happy hormones such as dopamine, endorphins and serotonin, which can be released with something as simple as a walk around the block. The more you move, the more happy hormones are released. There are other holistic ways of boosting dopamine – ice baths, somatic breathing, meditation.

This can reset the nervous systems so they can lean towards resetting their vagus nerve.

I would also highly recommend a counsellor, whether it is in person or through zoom meetings. We are a society that don’t really grieve and we keep it pent up in our bodies. Life is hard, I get it. It is not a walk in the park and life throws you curves balls.

Can you explain the function of the vagus nerve?

The vagus nerve trails from the brain to four major organs. It is a part of the

11 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 23 November 2023

nervous system and controls specific body functions. Trauma can cause issues within the nervous system and the digestion of your food. Resetting the vagus nerve can snap you out of the flight or fight mode.

Your breathing relaxes and your digestion will function better. Digestive function is important as your stomach talks to your brain. This is why gut bacteria is so important. Your happy hormones are also produced in your digestive system.

Where do you see your business heading in the future?

I would really like to create a space where the community can come together and support each other. Country towns often lack alternative wellness options.

Down the track I will hopefully have some workshops regarding breath work and collaborate with other health professionals and therapists. I would love to have a sauna and a plunge pool. I want to provide the option to go back to basics and remember the knowledge we might have lost over generations.

Why is good health important to the community?

It creates a happier environment. When there is a nice balance of happiness, people lea r n and g row together – especially within schools. I think it is really important for mental health too.

How can your gut affect your wellbeing?

T h e m i c ro b i o m e i s l i ke a fo res t/ environment of bacteria within the gut.

If it is lacking the right bacteria or if you have leaky gut, mental health issues can arise. It’s just like a forest, if it is polluted the environment dies. Hydration is really important for cells, communicating and transporting happy hormones. This doesn’t need to solely come from water, fruits are also a great way of hydration. Inflammation also plays a large part in mental health and chronic illnesses. Foods like cherries, fish and turmeric are just a couple of items that can make a difference in everyday living.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public Transition students Our transition students were very happy to help out our older students in caring for our chickens last week. It has been wonderful to get to know our transition students so well over the past weeks. They had the opportunity to engage in 14 days of Transition t o S c h o ol s i n c e t he beginning of term three.

Monday was the last transition day for 2023, and we look forward to welcoming them to big school next year.

T h e f i r s t d ay f o r Kindergarten 2024 will be Thursday, 1 February.

Ag@Toora The students helped to make our chickens more comfortable over the summer months by helping to put up the shade and dripper line to cool off our chickens in the heat. The fence was moved again to provide fresh grass for them and everyone helped plant s ome new s e e d l i n g s in the garden. We are look ing for wa rd to seeing how the pumpkin

seedlings grow over the coming weeks.

Wes and Carl from the Warrumbungle National Pa rk E nv i r on ment a l Education Centre ( W N P E E C ) wer e on hand to help facilitate these activities.

The 1/2/4 class has designed a Farm Gate Egg Stall for the front of the school, which Carl will put together as per their specifications.

Beach to Bush Last Friday, we had the incredible opportunity to learn all about beach and water safety thanks to the amazing volunteer l i fesavers, M att a nd Justine. They have been visiting schools in rural areas of NSW, spreading awareness and equipping students with essential knowledge around beach safety.

J u s t i n e a n d M at t covered a wide range of topics from general beach safety, sun protection, understanding rips and waves, sea creatures, and even how to seek help from a lifeguard – FLAGS. F – flags; L

Coonabarabran Public – look for beach signs; A – ask a lifesaver for any help at all, in or out of the water, sunscreen, first aid, lost; G – go swimming with a friend; S – signal for help, hold your hand straight up in the air.

Remembrance Day A Remembrance Day service was held at school on Friday, 10 November at 11am.

R emembr a nc e Day is an important day to remember and ref lect on the ser v ice of our men and women in the Australian defence forces in both peacekeeping and times of war. We are thankful to all who have served, so that we are able to enjoy peace in our country today.

Thank you to Sam, B on n ie a nd H a m i sh who assisted in raising the f lags du r i ng the ceremony, our students who showed exceptional respect du r ing the service, and the preschool students and staff who joined us during this commemoration service.

Lest we forget

It might wel l be halfway through the last term, but there has not been any slackening of the pace of our activities and excitement at CPS. O u r tra nsition t o Coonaba rabran H igh School is in full swing.

L a s t F r id ay, Ye a r 6 met with their year advisors for 2024, Mr Jackson and Mrs Sulter, and some representatives from Coona High. We heard all about life at our high school, and what we are in for next year. We could hardly contain our excitement.

Then, on Wednesday, we attended a science lesson with Mrs Eshman in the science labs at the high school. So much anticipation and fun.

We look forward to going back to the high school for more science and maths lessons and on 1 December, when we eagerly await to attend

high school for the full day.

L a s t F r id ay, Ye a r 5 visited both sites of Yuluwirri – the Monkey a nd G i r a f fe R o om s .

Ou r Yea r 5 students had an enriching and informative time, enjoying reading picture books to the preschoolers and spending some time helping them complete puzzles a nd d raw pictures.

We look forward to visiting the preschool again this coming week – I don’t think we will tire of sharing stories and games with our new friends.

L ast week saw the commencement of the 2024 prefect election process. The nominees have all presented some wonderful speeches to their peers and voting took place on Friday.

B e s t o f lu c k t o t he following candidates:

Anika Bowmaker, Zaara Brown, Malayla French, Matilda Graham, M adelei ne Ha r tberg, Lucy Hayman, Sophia Leedham, Ruby Mahon.

Isabelle Marlin, Lyla McKernan, Emma Murnane, Hannah Richards, Ethan Had f ield, Hudson Jenner, Jagah Kershaw, Jayce Mc D onough , Oliver McMillan, Kurt Murnane, Keanu Rogers, Luke Rutland-Davey, Seth Szabo, Harry White.

Good luck everyone.

The announcement of 2024 prefects will take place on Monday, 27 November, at our whole school, Monday morning assembly.

Ye a r 1 h a s h a d a wonderful week inventing. Their journey started with a book – The Most Magnificent Thing.

Through this inspiration, ignited by Ms Parkinson and her desire to enrich

young minds, we drew up plans for a pencil holder.

You may think that it is small and not very interesting, but some of our blueprints could well have launched rockets.

Careful planning and experimentation finally resulted in cardboard creations that Edison would have been proud of. One model even had a lid, handle, and spy hole.

A fantastic achievement everyone.

Last highlight was the ‘5 for 5’ reward afternoon in K-2. Having worked h a r d for f ive we ek s and followed all school rules – being kind and respectful – earned us an afternoon of water play. We had a slip and slide, various water races and sprinkler systems including Mr Dakic and his giant water pistol.

We certainly made the most of the hot weather and freedom.

Coonabarabran High Last Friday, students f r om C o onaba rabra n High School, spanning Years 8-11, travelled to Tamworth to participate in the Stand Tall program – an impactful i n it i at i v e l e av i n g a lasting impression on young minds.

F o u n d e d i n 2 01 2 , Stand Tall emerged in response to concerning issues such as drug use, depression, bully ing, homelessness, and selfharm prevalent among high school students.

S eek i ng t o combat these challenges, the orga n isation has successfully assisted t hou s a nd s of yout h s dea l i ng w ith ment a l

health issues.

The Stand Tall p r o g r a m , a o n e - d ay T E D x- s t yle event , proved to be both fascinating and engaging for the attending students. The day featured inspiring stories and talks from experts, aiming to equip youth with essential life skills. These included resilience, the strength to stand up to bullying, motivation, the power of perspective, and the benefits of making good and wise decisions.

This year, Stand Tall extended its reach to regional areas, including Coonabarabran, making a positive i mpact on

loca l students. By col laborati ng w ith educators, the program add ressed nationa l high school curriculum outcomes for PDH PE (Personal Development, Hea lth a nd Physic a l E du c at i o n ). Wo rld class athletes, p opu l a r mu sic i a n s , and inspirational speakewrs shared their l i fe exper iences i n a relevant and relatable way, providing a massive day of positive input into the lives of young Austra l ia ns. I ndeed , one day of empowerment can be a catalyst for life-changing transformations.

CHS students benefitted from the Stand Tall program held at Tamworth.

St Lawrence’s beef bonanza On Thursday, 26 October, 15 students from St Lawrence’s Primary School journeyed to Scone to attend the Upper Hunter Beef Bonanza, achieving great results.

by JIMMY WHALAN St Lawrence’s teacher, Sue McG old r ick said after an educational day on the Friday, students had an early start on Saturday, waking at 5.30am to prepare the cattle for their classes.

“Demi led the heifer ‘Cleopatra’ and placed sixth, Lilly led ‘Spook’, but he didn’t have enough fat to cover.

“Lincoln followed with ‘Chips’ and placed fourth in the next class. “ ‘ R o bbie ’, le d by Charlotte, looked the part, but unfortunately was challenged by much bigger steers in his class, and ‘Diesel’, led by Jed, was also challenged by heavier-muscled steers.”

I n the Satu rd ay a f t e r n o o n p a r ade r s ’ competition, St Lawrence’s students were competitive against 120 other primary paraders, w ith the follow ing results: Lilly Hunter – second.

L iam K a ravas – fourth.

Henry T hompson – fifth.

Amelia Morris – sixth.

Harvey Jaeger – sixth.

Sunday, 29 October, was the f i na l day of

competition, with students participating in junior judging.

“Students must judge a group of four heifers, four steers, and four bulls,” Mrs McGoldrick said. “ T hey (students / cattle) are then removed and must answer five questions on each group without looking at them.

Once the scores are tallied, the six best junior judges totals speak about the heifers.”

Mrs McGoldrick was th r i lled to announce that four of these six best totals were from St Lawrence’s students.

“I was very proud of the manner in which the spoke and the excellent results they were able to achieve on the day.”

Henry T hompson – first.

Memphis Pennicott – third Demi Parnell – fifth.

Kel ly Jam ieson – sixth.

In congratulating the students Mrs McGoldrick said, “You should all be very proud as you are all great ambassadors for our school.”

St Lawrence’s agriculture students were in the ribbons at the Upper Hunter Beef Bonanza, held at Scone..

PILLIGA POTTERY I first met Richard and Maria Rickert when they arrived in Australia from Germany and purchased a scrub property at the end of Dandry R oad.

They intended opening a pottery on Barkala and suggested that I inspect their access road, with the view of improving it for customers. I gave them the usual Council answer, advising them to write a letter of request to Council, which they did immediately, but they got no response for help.

Over the years I carried out as much maintenance as I cou ld , awa re of Council fund restrictions for low importance roads – as they saw it at that time. With time and application, the road was eventually improved to its now all-weather state. Signposting was installed, which made the business available to the public.

I n t he b e g i n n i n g , the development of the pottery was difficult, as there was no power or water on the site.

A battery system was installed to provide power and a large gas container was purchased to run the kilns, and dams were constructed to provide

water.

Eventually, the small solar system was replaced to a 37kW system, which was, at the time, the largest privately owned in NSW. It started as a small family business in 1984 as a conventional pottery.

A rtisans, potters and decorators developed a very unique decorating technique with glazes, and the pottery produces very fine products for both the home and the garden – a large variety of beautiful and popular pottery items, ranging from small ornaments to large outdoor utensils.

All their products were sold in Sydney, Newcastle and a long the S outh Coast.

Pilliga Pottery is the only pottery in Australia to use a specialised technique of applying bright glazes a nd eng rav i ngs t o white earthenware and terracotta. This produces a stunning lead-light effect, which brings their unique designs to life. For the patterns engraved in the pottery, artisans draw on Pilliga’s surroundings for inspiration: flannel flowers, bird life, banksia and other parts of nature

are delicately inserted and coloured in the wide range of products, from simple plates and cups to beautiful water coolers.

Ter r ac ot t a c l ay i s used , wh ich mea ns “baked earth” in Latin.

Terracotta fires a bright orange-brown colour and is the most common type

of clay.

The Coonabarabran district has many types of clay, ranging from black through to red and even white.

All the clay used at the pottery is extracted from nearby land and processed at the pottery and goes into

the production, which is mixed with raw materials from the Mudgee region in NSW. This produces b o t h t he wh it e a nd terracotta clay worked with at the pottery, which gets formed into lovely shapes on the potter’s wheel.

Clay is very easy to

mine. You simply dig it out of the ground. However, if you want to use it in large-scale production with different glazes it has to be refined, properly m i xe d a nd pr oba bly needs other ingredients added. T his helps to control the drying speed of the clay, its stickiness,

Bowlo plays Mixed Fours Championships Last weekend, the Mixed Fours Championships were played at the Coonabarabran Bowling Club.

On the Sunday morning Di Spittles, Wayne Martin, Levi Heywood and Russell Heywood were defeated

by Kaye Smith, Rodney Phillips, John Power and Dean McAlpine.

The final score of 25-11 did not reflect how close the game actually was, with the scores locked at 11-11 at the 15th end.

From then on Dean’s team went ahead, taking the lead over the last six ends.

In the other game played, Liz Bowmaker, Glenn Bowmaker, Tony Antaw and Vince Collins were defeated by Norman Buchanan, Mia Bowman, Brett Bowman and Sam Bowman. This game was also close up until the

14th end, when Sam’s team moved ahead on the scoreboard, with the final score 25-13.

The final was played in the afternoon, when the team of Kaye Smith, Rodney Phillips, John Power and Dean McAlpine started out strong against the team of Norman Buchanan, Mia Bowman, Brett Bowman and Sam Bowman, taking the lead for the first five ends.

The lead changed often and the scores were close for most of the game, with Norm’s team ahead at the 17th end. They then built on their lead, finally taking the match 24-18.

Next weekend the Club Consistency Championships will be played. This will be great bowls to watch, with a very different singles format. Play starts at 9am on Saturday, 25 November, and concludes on Sunday.

Coona cricketers go down narrowly to Gular Coonabarabran’s cricket team suffered its third defeat in a row, going down to Gulargambone in a see-sawing game at Coona’s number three oval last Saturday.

I n ver y pleasa nt conditions for cricket, Gulargambone won the toss and elected to bat.

Gular started well and were in a good position at 0-31 before they lost four wickets in five overs to slump to 4-41.

T he home side was well on top, but a 50-run stand steadied things for the visitors and they reached 91 before the next wicket fell. A series of solid par tnerships followed and saw them finish on 141, when they were bowled out in the last of their 40 allocated overs.

Main run scorers for G u l a r g a m b one we r e Ja s on C a r t er (4 2 ), Brandon Hammond (19), Matari Kelly and Ben Ryan (both 15) and Peter Peters (12).

T he main w icket takers for Coona were K a rl Ca l leija (3 -32), Locky Hadfield (2-19) and Jericho Chatfield (2-29), while Cameron Whittall and Darcy Clifton took

one wicket each.

Coona’s initial response with the bat was very positive. They advanced to 25 before losing their first wicket in the tenth over and by the drinks’

break at the end of the 20th over had accelerated to 3-86, and were well in sight of victory.

However, things fell to pieces for the home side after the break and they

lost their next six wickets for 18 to slump to 9-110.

A last-wicket stand took them to 126 before they were bowled out in the 38th over for 126.

The main run

Karl Calleija was main wicket taker for Coona, taking three for 32.

Looking for John Knox

By ANOMA PIERIS

When we set out in search of John Knox six months ago, my partner Athanasios and I were seeking information on Aboriginal service personnel who had served in World War II; several of whom were buried in war graves cemeteries in Asia.

John Knox’s was one of three known graves at Kranji Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Singapore, a beautifully laid out lawn of headstones overlooking the Straits of Johore with an art deco monument resembling an airplane. Athanasios had written a definite book on the Kranji architect Colin St Claire Oakes.

But at the time we were unaware that there were Aboriginal servicemen buried at that cemetery. A chance photograph and a trail of information led us to Leslie John Knox (Les) at Narrabri, a phone call and over 1000 kilometres away in rural New South Wales where the weather is decidedly warmer than winter in Victoria.

En route to Narrabri, stopping to gaze at the magnificent Warrumbungles we were made aware of the Cooee March recruitment drive from Gilgandra to Sydney during World War One that had gathered diggers from country towns along the route. Australia’s intersecting military histories are laid out across this landscape.

Les is John Knox’s grandson, a Moree-born Gamilaroi/Bigumbul man who spent his early childhood at Toomelah near Boggabilla. Both his father, artist Cyril Knox and cousin country singer Roger Knox, represent the creative side of the family and are well known.

Les, who recently retired as a shire councillor is better known for his many sporting feats, which have earned him a spot in the Narrabri Wall of Fame and more famously took him on the commemorative 1988 all-Indigenous cricket tour to England where the squad had an audience with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth inside Buckingham Palace.

Interspersed among cricketing and other sporting stories and personalities covering his involvement in practically all known major sports in Australia, Les told us a deeper more personal story of family sacrifice.

Anyone familiar with Dawn Magazine, may recollect the cheeky boy seated on a tree stump on the front cover of the April 1956 issue.

Behind him stretches the road to Toomelah a small Aboriginal

The late John Knox.

community in the Moree Plains Shire, somewhere between Boggabilla and Goondiwindi. Established as an Aboriginal reserve in 1937 it has since the 1970s been under self-management by the local Aboriginal Land Council.

Les took us there to show us the house in which he lived until age seven, and described the large square in which they played broom-handle cricket in a happy childhood. It is remarkable that so many men from this small community went away on overseas military expeditions to fight for Australia.

Les learned of his grandfather, John’s service quite accidentally, having stumbled on some papers and medals in an old trunk at the back of his father’s house in Narrabri in 2003. He took these to the Regimental Tailor at Tamworth where they identified his grandfather’s service record.

John Knox was identified as a labourer but was also a minister and 39 years old at the time.

“His last letter to my grandmother named seven people from Toomelah, and states ‘I have not seen them for a number of days and I don’t know where they are’’,” he tells us.

When they refused to enlist him in New South Wales because he was Aboriginal, he walked all the way to Warwick over one-hundred and eighty kilometres across the border and enlisted as an ‘Australian’. John Knox enlisted as a private in the 2/26th Australian infantry battalion on July 11, 1940 which trained at the Grovely and Redbank camps before moving on to join the 2/29th and 2/30th at Bathurst – part of the 8th Division sent to Malaya.

Les Knox, of Narrabri, pictured at the Toomelah War Memorial.

Private John Knox, QX11089 died on August 31, 1942 in Changi Prison seven months after the Fall of Singapore when he was taken prisoner along with 52,000 others. He is commemorated in four different memorials in addition to Kranji War Cemetery: on the roll of honour in Canberra’s Australian War Memorial commemoration courtyard, at the Ballarat Prisoner of War Memorial in Victoria, and most significantly at Toomelah in a war memorial dedicated in 2009 to

24 persons who have served from there, the first such memorial in an Aboriginal community.

Among them is Flight Sergeant Leonard Waters, the only Aboriginal pilot to fly in World War II, and George E Cubby also from the 2/26th battalion who died at Kanburi in Thailand. On our visit to Toomelah on October 20, Maxine McGrady told us of the annual Anzac Day ceremonies which brings visitors and family back to the community. At Boggabilla, Les

introduced us to Terrence Stacey, a Vietnam veteran who was one of three people, Les (Bluey) Lang and David Williams in opening the memorial there. Terence served overseas for 11 months fighting in the tropical jungle, much like John Knox did in Malaya. “They told me Aboriginal people couldn’t enlist,” says Les, “otherwise I would have joined up and at that stage I didn’t know about my grandfather or that Terry had signed up.”

Searching for information on Aboriginal service personnel Continued from front page

What compelled individuals like John Knox to enlist? Was it adventure? Opportunity? Poverty? Courage? Patriotism? A series of recent exhibitions, since 2018, with titles like “For Country for Nation” (Australian War Memorial, Canberra) and “For Kin and Country” (Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne)

ponder these questions seeking to rectify a grave misconception that Aboriginal people did not participate in these formative overseas expeditions that overdetermined Australian national character and marked the landscape of every country town.

The exhibitions display personal memorabilia of the few thousand

individuals who fought on behalf of Australia in different theatres of conflict – in Europe, the Pacific, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan.

But there are so many gaps in our knowledge of their service because few were identified by race, and many had Anglicised names, or concealed their identities.

In the army they were all equal,

comrades in arms, their units remembered like the 2/26th at the Bathurst camp memorial, but those who returned were often neglected, denied soldier settlement land grants, and left to fend for themselves and families who had struggled in their absence.

These stories need telling.

We teach at the University of

Melbourne’s school of architecture where students are introduced to Indigenous content through design problems, for example, a memorial to Indigenous service personnel like the one created in Canberra. Or an RSL club welcoming to and adapting to Indigenous cultural practices and needs.

Looking for John Knox Continued from page 2

We seek advice from Indigenous cultural advisors in framing our assignments and involve them in teaching. Understanding the experience of Indigenous service people who left Australia to fight in Asia, in countries that many of our international students come from is important for exploring the contradictions that underly ideas of loyalty, patriotism, social responsibility and equality. We try to convey to them a fuller understanding of Australia through these many insights.

The stories of the ancient landscape of Gamilaroi country in northeastern New South Wales with its volcanic crags, glaciers, and sawn rocks are too deep for us outsiders to decipher, nor do we have the right to tell them.

Touring with Les they come to life.

We are acutely aware that the path that we take intersects with Charlie Perkins 1965 Freedom Ride the famous protest against segregation at the Dubbo Hotel, The Moree Pool, the Walgett RSL, and so on. Much has changed since that earlier confronting

bus ride, just two years before a successful referendum for constitutional change.

We follow this path sobered by recent events. Visiting the local RSLs for dinner, Les shows us a different more welcoming, and family-friendly setting. The RSL, the pub, and the sports club anchor the rural townscape. Les, who grew up in Narrabri town, and played in all three of its sporting ovals is a comfortable and familiar, part of the community.

Acceptance is hard-won and not always forthcoming. A disturbing storyline weaves through Gamilaroi Country – of an earlier history of frontier wars. Les takes us to the Myall Creek Massacre and Memorial Site and we walk along the pathway mirroring the rainbow serpent’s form. With each step, we learn of a different piece of the story, of the 28 Wirrayaraay elderly men, women and children who were murdered by 10 convict stockmen led by a squatter on June 10, 1838 while their men folk were away on another station.

In this instance, an exception in Australia’s history, 12 men who

committed this heinous act were taken to trial, found not guilty, re-arrested, tried again and seven of them eventually hanged. “This is the first place of reconciliation”, says Les. In 2000, 162 years after the event, the memorial was opened as an acknowledgment of the truth of this shared history, between descendants of those murdered as well as of perpetrators, in an important act of truth-telling.

The Myall Creek story is integral to our understanding of the military histories of Australia on which this nation has been built.

With the Australian War Memorial taking on the challenge of representing the frontier wars it is, perhaps, the most significant such site in the region. But to fully understand how these stories are nested one within the other and in turn, in the physical landscape, they need to be interpreted by someone from Country. Without Les, we would have gained only a partial history gleaned from books and websites with no means for interpreting this many-layered landscape.

The parties hope that this document may help alleviate, at least in part, some of the difficulties when navigating bureaucracy, disaster response coordination, planning and development, joint training

Recipe of the Week

Courtesy of sydneymarkets.com.au Find all your fresh fruit and veg at Paradise Fresh, Narrabri.

MANGO, CUCUMBER & CHICKEN RICE PAPER ROLLS Preparation 30 min | Serves 8 For ease, use the flesh from half a take-away barbecued chicken.

INGREDIENTS 4 crisp Iceberg lettuce leaves 1 large Lebanese cucumber 1 medium just-ripe mango 2 cups cooked shredded chicken 8 x 22 cm wide rice papers 2 tbs sweet chilli sauce + extra to serve STEP 1 To prepare filling, break lettuce into large bite size pieces. Cut cucumber in half, then halve lengthways and cut into very thin strips.

Cut flesh, close to the stone, from the mango, remove skin and cut mango into thin strips. Place these ingredients and chicken on plates on a work bench.

STEP 2 Place a shallow bowl of warm water on bench. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water and soak for about 20-30 seconds on each side until just tender. Place on a damp cloth. In the centre, arrange 3-4 strips of mango, then top with 3-4 cucumber strips, 1⁄4 cup chicken and a few pieces of lettuce. Drizzle with 1 tsp sweet chilli sauce. Fold over one edge of rice paper to cover filling, tuck in sides and roll up to enclose the filling. Place on plate, cover with plastic.

Repeat using remaining ingredients. Cut rolls in half if liked and serve with extra sweet chilli sauce.

Good for you ... MANGOES A very good source of vitamin C which contributes to the normal functioning of the body’s immune system. A good source of beta carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A. This vitamin is needed for normal vision. The deeper the colour of the mango flesh, the higher the level of beta carotene. Mango flesh also provides another carotenoid called cryptoxanthin which is being researched for its role in normal eye health.

A source of dietary fibre which is important for the normal function of the intestine.
