Council returns to tackle Shire’s big issues Warrumbungle Shire held its first Council meeting of 2023 last week, where a number of items were discussed.

by CHRIS WARD O n t op of the ma ny i s sue s h i g h l i g ht e d i n the agenda, several community members were on hand to face Council and get their opinions across.

One of those was Rob McMillan, who addressed councillors and Council staff in regards to the ongoing protests which o c c u r at t he f r ont o f the C ou nci l chambers building on weekends.

Mr McMillan expressed his opinion on the COVID-19 vaccinations and mandates that were put in place when the illness was it is peak in the country.

He spoke out against m a ny o f t h e r e f o r m s brought in and explained the small cohor t of protestors will continue to spread their message and concerns.

“It’s only just warming up,” Mr McMillan said. “ We plan to be there u nt i l t he g over n ment wakes up to themselves.

“The media doesn’t tell you any of this. The media are lying to everybody and the Government [are lying].”

Michael Cooper, from Central West Cycle Trail, aired his frustration at C ou n c i l ’s i n a c t i o n t o reopen some roads that were damaged during the 2022 September-October rain events.

He said while they may be unsuitable for some vehicles, he asked that a classification be given to allow cyclists to legally access them.

“We have been chasing this for three months,” Mr Cooper said.

“All we want them to do is a risk assessment and give it a classification to allow cyclists to legally use the roads.

“It might be an issue for cars, but if anything it makes it even safer for cyclists because they are forced to go slower than normal.

“At the moment the on ly other option is for them to ride on the Castlereagh H ighway, which is dangerous and has much more traffic.”

Mr Cooper said it was imperative Council acted as soon as possible, with Central West Cycle Trail’s busiest seas on nea rly upon them.

“March is our busiest period and now is when pe ople sta r t pla n n i ng their trips away and if they go on the website and see part of the route is closed they’re not going to come,” he said. “ We’ve estimated t o have had about 3000 plus people per year coming through since we opened

it but it’s been dead quiet be c ause you c a n’t get between two of the towns, which breaks the loop.”

The roads in question over the past few months a r e Av o n s id e We s t , Digilah West and Cobra Road.

The Central West Cycle T rail provides cyclists w it h a 4 0 0 -k i lomet r e circuit away from main roads.

John Knight Bridge Councillors agreed to name the new bridge on Warkton Road the ‘John Knight Bridge’.

T he decision came after a member of the community proposed the new br id ge be n a med after John Robert Knight, who lived in the Warkton Valley and “may have had a hand in building the original timber bridge”.

T r a n sp or t for N S W prov ided fund ing to replace the old br idge with a modern concrete bridge.

Council advertised the new naming proposal last month and received nine submissions.

Fol l ow i n g appr o v a l from Transport for NSW appropriate signs will be installed.

T he br id g e ’s construction is expected to be completed in April.

Sport upgrades Upgrades on the Coonabarabran sporting infrastructure is gaining momentum.

The Sporting Complex Adv isor y C ommittee tabled a repor t at the Council meeting, which was passed unanimously.

Conditions for the new amenity block that will service number two and three ovals are as follows: • C entra l lo cation between number two and three ovals; • Larger storage facilities; • Two divisible change rooms (to make fou r cha nge ro oms) incorporating more bench seating and four showers in each change room; • A referee room and first aid room; • A large kiosk with lo c k a ble s t or a g e t h at faces both fields and an open end with an awning for protection; • T w o m o r e pu bl i c toilets and a urinal; T he bud g e t fo r t he number th ree ova l amen ities project is $889,716.

More improvements in the area will include the addition of a barbecue at the skate park and pump track area.

T he pla nti ng of a number of trees in that area will complete the project.

T he barbecue has reportedly arrived and

is ready for installation.

Bore concerns Following a report in the Coonabarabran Times about a number of bores around the Shire that are reportedly at imminent r isk of catastroph ic failure, the situation was brought forward at the recent Council meeting.

A p or t fol io wa s put together by independent contractor ACS Equip, which revealed six of the bores across the Shire are in dire need of repair or replacement i n the immediate future or they risk catastrophic failure.

The recommendation put to councillors meant $530,0 0 0 would be pulled away from other projects to facilitate the r e f u r bi s h me nt o f t he three most at risk bores – the two in Baradine and the Dunedoo bore – and that Council proceed to the tender stage for those bores.

The funds would come f r om t he T i m o r D a m Safety Upgrade, of which $400,000 would go toward the work, and $130,000 from the Baradine Water Treatment Plant Upgrade Project.

The motion was passed through Council with the exception from Baradine resident, Cr Denis Todd, who opposed spending the money to conduct the emergency works.

“It’s a hell of a lot of money; I don’t think it’s necessar y myself,” M r Todd commented during the meeting.

O t h e r recommendations were that Council consider the options for Kenebri and Bugaldie, including if it even continues to operate the schemes, and the atrisk Coonabarabran bore not be refurbished due to the available alternative infrastructure.

Community Consultation Meetings I n f u r ther C ou nci l news, dates for the Community Consultation Meeti ngs have been finalised.

Meetings will be held in all seven of the Shire’s towns and mayor Ambrose Doolan said it was a chance for residents to address Council about issues around the Shire. “ T h e s e C o m mu n it y Consultation Meetings are a great way to connect with community members a nd I encou rage lo ca l residents to utilise these meetings to discuss matters affecting their community,” Cr Doolan said. “ T he last few yea rs h ave be en t ough for ou r commu n ities w ith drought and bushf ires fol lowe d by pa ndem ic

and, most recently, three natural disasters within a year causing extensive damage, particularly to our roads. “ These meetings are a great chance for the c om mu n it ie s t o c ome t o g e t he r a nd d i s c u s s various strategies a llow ing us to bounce back f r om such t ough times.”

Accessible housing D u r i ng the C ou nc i l meeting, general manager Roger Bailey moved to d i s c o n t i nu e p r e v i o u s plans to provide accessible disability housing.

In the Council meeting o n 17 M a r c h 2 0 2 2 , Council recognised the need for more accessible housing in the Shire and c om m it t e d $1 m i l l ion from funds to purchase suitable properties that can be leased to disability housing service providers as a form of por t fol io d iversi f ication at “a higher cash return with low risk”.

In his motion, M r B a i ley ex pla i ned that Coonabarabran now has a n i ndependently r u n housi ng faci l ity a nd suggested “that Council not pr o c e e d w it h a ny f u r ther i nvestigations into assisting w ith providing further ac c e s sible r e sident i a l housing at this point in time”.

Councillor Kodi Brady appealed the motion that wa s put for wa r d a nd amended it to keep the $1 million commitment on Council’s books.

C r B r a d y ’s m o t i o n was passed, with Cr Zoe Holc omb e a nd deput y mayor Aniello Iannuzzi opposing the motion.

Cyclists show how Warrumbungle Shire roads can still be safely accessed despite recent damage forcing some closures to vehicles.

Raise an issue at a consultation meeting T he next round of Wa r r u m bu n g le S h i r e C ou n c i l ’s C om mu n it y Consultation Meetings is coming up, with residents encouraged to take the opportunity to meet with councillors and staff in thei r nea rest t ow n t o discuss the issues facing their community. “ T he s e C om mu n it y Consultation Meetings are a great way to connect with community members and I encourage local residents to utilise these meetings to discuss matters affecting their community,” said

Wa r r u m bu n g le S h i r e Council mayor, councillor Ambrose Doolan. “ T he last few yea rs have been tough for our communities with drought and bushfires followed by pandemic and, most recently, three natural disasters within a year causing extensive damage, particularly to our roads. “ These meetings are a great chance for the c om mu n it ie s t o c ome t o g e t he r a nd d i s c u s s various strateg ies allowing us to bounce back from such tough times,” Cr

Doolan said.

Council buildings become targets for vandalism Continued damage to Warrumbungle Shire owned buildings have staff appealing for witnesses to come forward.

T he C o on aba rabra n Town Hall and Community Care building have been subjected to ser ious vandalism over the past few months.

Warrumbungle Shire C ou nc i l mayor, C r Ambrose Doolan said the issue had been reported to police and he urged the community to keep an eye out and report any vandalism. “ The Coonabarabran Town Hall and Wa r r u m b u n g l e Community Care building in John Street have been vandalised on an almost weekly basis since November 2022,” Cr Doolan said. “ Six windows on the Tow n H a l l h ave be en smashed, and recently a window at the Community Care building was smashed as wel l. T he damage has been constant since last year. “ Most of the damage is occurring in between the Town Hall and the Community Care building, which is a secluded area.

“Further to the damaged property, litter has been left in the area a nd a n i r r igation box has also been damaged.

Reports of the damage have been made to the police.”

Repairing the window damage a nd ma k i ng the a rea sa fe ta kes a large amount of Council resources.

Cr Doolan said directing resources to continually fix unnecessary vandalism t o ok away f r om other important projects in the Shire. “ T he f irst step is to make the area safe by removing broken glass

and debris, then cover the window with a temporary repair,” he said.

“Next up, the windows are measured and glass ordered, which is either installed by Council staff or by a contractor.

“Sometimes contractors are difficult to attract for small jobs and repairs can take weeks.

“Responding to acts of intentional and malicious

damage not only takes money and time, it disrupts work schedules and means that planned tasks that benefit the community, such as maintenance of halls and buildings, have to be delayed.”

Installation of security s c r e e n s o n t he T ow n Hall windows is being organised and CCTV is being strongly considered as the damage is likely to

disrupt usage of the Town Hall and operations in the Community Care building over time.

“Community members are encouraged to report vandalism by phoning the Police Assistance Line on 131 444 or via the NSW Police Force Community Portal Intentional Damage Report (nsw.gov. au),” Cr Doolan said.

Broken windows and continued vandalism at Council owned buildings have become a cause for concern.

What goes bang Butler says CSG in the night? “doesn’t stack up”

Damage to electricity infrastructure following suspected collision in Coonabarabran.

Independent Member for Barwon, Roy Butler had plenty to say about coal seam gas, public swimming pools and roads when he visited Coonabarabran last week.

by CHRIS WARD W hen Member for Barwon, Roy Butler met with the Coonabarabran Times last week he made his feelings known about the situation in the Pilliga, w ith Sa nt os pla n n i ng extensive coal seam gas mines.

Mr Butler said he was firmly against the notion and explained that the project is unnecessary.

“I’ve done more than a nyone i n the N S W Parliament speaking out against it and protecting our groundwater,” he said. “ I wou ld c h a l le n g e anyone who says otherwise.

Everything I’ve said is on the record for anyone to see. “ It doesn’t stack up financially or environmentally.”

Mr Butler went on to explain that Port Kembla would eventually be able to provide 75 per cent of gas needs through its project.

He a lso sa id a ny perceived gas shortage was

in part due to poor federal policy, which sees much of our country’s gas exported at “ridiculously low prices.”

“If some of that exported gas is put into domestic use the project [Narrabri G a s P r oje c t] be c ome s impossible,” he said.

If the project goes ahead, Mr Butler said he will make it his responsibility to make sure the strict recommendations given are not watered down.

M r Butler reasoned that even if the gas was safely extracted, future generations would be the ones to suffer. “ T hey drill down hundreds of metres, into the Great Artesian Basin and then further down to the gas pockets. These wells are supported by concrete and steel,” he said.

“So, we’re relying on the integrity of that to last forever and, of course, concrete and steel doesn’t last forever. So what happens in 200-300 years?”

Pool problems Addressing the on g oi n g t r ou ble w it h Coonabarabran’s Memorial Swimming Pool, Mr Butler conceded the facility had reached its “end of life.”

He sa id it wasn’t a unique problem, with the same issue being felt right across the electorate.

“Many of the pools are in the same boat,” he said.

“They are all at the age where they have reached their end of life.

“Coonabarabran recently received some funding, but it’s obviously not enough.

“It’s a bandaid solution in a case that [the pool] needs to be demolished and started again.”

Mr Butler said the best bet would be to challenge the Labor and Liberal parties about what they can do in regards to the situation if elected.

Road rage M r Butler sa id he was well aware of the issues much of Barwon is currently facing in regards

to roads.

Due to its size as the largest electorate, covering 44.5 per cent of the state, Mr Butler spends most of his time on the roads and has first-hand experience seeing how bad things are.

He said it will take billions of dollars and years to get the roads back into shape.

“Capacity is the issue at the moment,” Mr Butler said.

“You’ve got councils with workers out doing what they can, but the fact is the costs of equipment such as graders and rollers have pretty much doubled now.

“We don’t just want to fix the roads – we want to improve them.

“If you just keep grading them down, when you get rain they become rivers. “ We want to improve them by building them up and making them higher, and this will minimise the time some of our smaller communities are cut off by heavy rain in the future.”

by JIMMY WHALAN Overnight on Saturday, 18 Febr u a r y, sig n age at the Coonaba rabran Veterinary Clinic and a power pole adjacent the Coon abarabran T imes received a hefty blow, by what is alleged to be the work of a driver that may have lost control of their

vehicle.

The damage in Dalgarno Street resulted in a power outage at the Coonabarabran Times, forcing the closure of the business for a number of hours on Monday, 20 February.

Essential Energy crews were able to restore power to the office as well as the

local ice vending machine. and reinstall the light fitting at the top of the pole.

W hile it is unknown what caused the collision, Saturday’s evenings wet weather may have played a part.

At the time of writing, the incident had not been reported to police.

Crews from Essential Energy were able to restore electricity to the Coonabarabran Times on Monday, 20 February, following a suspected vehicle collision over the weekend.

New design for the $5 note

by JIMMY WHALAN

Independant Member for Barwon, Roy Butler, met with Coonabarabran Times journalist, Chris Ward, to discuss issues of concern affecting the Warrumbungle Shire during a visit to Coonabarabran last week.

O n T hu r s d ay, 2 February, the Reser ve Bank of Australia announced an update to the $5 bank note that will not feature the portrait of King Charles. The new design will be an artwork celebrating the culture and history of First Nations people.

This Indigenous design will replace the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, with the other side continuing to display an image of the Australian Parliament.

T his comes after c onsu lt ation w ith the Federal Government, with the Reserve Bank stating that it is in support of the major change.

According to the

Reserve Bank, it will take several years before the new note is designed and printed as consultations will be made with First Nations Australians to design the new bank note.

Until then, our current $5 note will continue to be issued and will be allowed to be used even after the new bank note is issued.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

World class W h at a r ema rk able story on the Lill family in the Coonabarabran Times issue 16 February 2023.

Elaine and Martin have to be congratulated on an amazing ach ievement, a genu i ne world- class effor t, and all this success fol low i ng on from the tragedy of the 2013 fire that decimated their property and cattle stocks makes it even more amazing.

I wish them well and lots more success.

Yours etc., Chris Evans Coonabarabran 2357 (16.02.2023) Council needs to serve the community fairly By and large, I think the Warrumbungle Shire

Council and staff do a pretty good job, often under difficult circumstances.

H owe v e r, t h at i s n o t always the case as I have recently discovered and I am therefore writing to you in the interest of raising the issues in a broader context.

My issue relates to the way i n wh ich C ou nci l management and staff d e a l w i t h l e g i t i m at e concerns of rate payers.

By way of background, I raised an issue with Council over a year ago about my quarterly water bill which, in the final quarter of 2021 spiked by over 700 per cent compared to previous levels. This amounted to over 83,000 litres of water more than I would normally have used in that quarter and a bill

4 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 23rd February 2023

of over $300 more that I would normally expect to pay. By the next quarter, usage had returned to normal.

My first thought was that I must have a leak – not uncommon in an old house – in which case it would have been a fair cop, but on the adv ice of a licensed plumber it was clear there were no leaks. Nor had my lifestyle changed over the period.

Other possible reasons for the spi ke such a s water theft seem highly unlikely. The only feasible explanation relates to the accu racy of the wat er meter, and/or how it was read.

I raised my concerns with Council in various ways over the course of 2022 and declined to pay

the excessive charges until it could be shown that the bill and usage being charged for was accurate.

The only progress I was able to make was that Council staff offered to have the meter checked, but at my ex p en s e (a charge, coincidentally, a bit over $300). So we were at a stalemate with no way forward. Meanwhile, the excess bill remained unpaid and Council added penalty interest before passing the whole thing off to debt collectors.

My experience brings to light several issues. The first relates to how faulty meters and /or bungled readings are dealt with

by Council when problems li ke mine emerge. I maintain that Council, as the owner of the meter

and manager of the meter readers, has a clea r duty of care to ensure meters are functioning correctly and that the people involved in reading the meter are competent.

Council’s current attitude is a curious reversal of the onus of proof that applies i n most other si m i la r circumstances.

Secondly, there are the administrative processes C ou nc i l fol lows when issues are raised. In my own case, rather than work with a rate payer and customer to solve what is a clear problem a nd seek a sensible resolution, Council simply referred the matter to debt c ol le c t or s . I c a n understand delinquent rate payers being handed on to debt collectors as

a last resort if the debt gets out of hand, but as a rate payer who always pays in full and on time I found Council’s actions outrageous. Needless to say, once I had the debt collectors on my back, I paid up in full as any sensible person wou ld – but u nder du ress. I suspect this was Council’s intention all along.

Council’s preference in dealing with rate-payer concerns seems to be to ig nore the issues a nd stonewall rather than try and solve them. They seem to establish barriers and disincentives and kick the can down the road so that many complainants simply g ive up. T his requires m i n i mum of ef for t on their part and reeks of administrative laziness

and heavy-handed bureaucratic overreach.

This is unacceptable.

Now, I would hazard a guess that there are plenty of others around town in exactly the same situation as me a nd I would encourage you all to get noisy. Make a fuss. We need Council to understand that they a re here t o ser ve the community in a fair, open and transparent way. The community is not here just to give them a wellpaid and secure job and to employ policies and procedures designed solely to make their own working lives even easier at ratepayer’s expense.

Yours etc., Robert Noakes Coonabarabran 2357 (21.02.2023)

Students play it safe in shade Another upgrade to the Coonabarabran Public School playground is providing students with plenty of benefits.

by JIMMY WHALAN Coonabarabran Public School students will soon be playing their favourite sports without being bothered by rain, hail or shine, thanks to a new shade shelter that is currently being installed.

The shelter will cove r t h e s ch o o l’s multipurpose basketball cou r ts and is being constructed as part of

a co -funded regional renewal program, with Coonabarabran Public School contr ibuting a pe rcentag e of the funds to have the shelter installed.

With the asphalt having only been re p l a ce d i n t h e l a s t co u p l e of yea r s, th e shelter makes for another welcome upg rade to such a popular space for students during their recess and lunch breaks.

Coonabarabran Public School principal, L u c y E va n s s a i d t h e upgrade will have quite a few benefits.

“T h e s h a d e s h e lte r will allow many i m p rovem ent s to o u r cur r iculum and to th e we l l b e i n g of o u r s t u d e nt s ,” M r s E va n s said.

“We will now be able to offer a large area for outside play that is safe from the sun and rain.”

Students embrace “TAG You’re It” Students from throughout the Warrumbungle Shire came together last week to learn new skills and make meaningful connections.

Eleven schools across the Shi re took pa r t w ith students ma k ing c on ne c t ion s on m a ny different levels as a result.

The workshops focussed on encouraging students to recognise connection a nd commu n ication beyond su r face level interactions.

To do this they engaged in relationship building activ ities promoti ng inclusiv ity dur ing the workshops.

Student s were then given a task to take part in the biggest game of TAG You’re it, but with a twist.

Each student was given seven wrist bands and were then instructed to go out into the community to perform TAG’s (Timely Acts of Generosity) When a TAG is performed the student passes on one of their w r ist ba nds a nd then that person is tasked with doing the same.

The Connected project was managed by 2357 Development Group Incorporated. “ We a r e e s p e c i a l ly looking forward to seeing the ripple effect of these work shops ac r o s s t he Wa r r u m bu n g le S h i r e as ou r youth lead the way in T imely Acts of Generosity,” Vivian Evans from 2357 Development Group said.

“With each workshop, there will be different

coloured ‘TAG you’re it’ wristbands. So in effect, we will have a rainbow of goodwill spreading across the Warrumbungle Shire and that to me is very exciting.”

Az Hamilton from Just Motivation who facilitated the workshops explained the message behind the lessons.

“By allowing students to share their stories and build deeper connections with each other they’ll be encouraged to know they’re not alone in their experiences faced over recent years,” he said. “ We a r e a i m i n g t o g ive students a v ision of a bett er, a nd more connected world, where they are able to see the value of themselves. “ The ‘ TAG You’re It’ element of the workshops gives youth a chance to practise what they have lea r nt , a nd t o bu i ld connections. “ T he s e TAG s c ou ld be any thing from helping mum with the dishes at home, mowing a neighbou r ’s law n or helping another young person with an errand.

T he young person p l ay i n g t h e g a m e i s encouraged to pass on their “ ‘ T A G Yo u ’ r e i t ! ’ armband to the recipient of the generous deed, who wears it until they too can keep the game moving by TAGging someone else.”

Year 5 and 6 students from Baradine and Coonabarabran gathered at the Baradine Memorial Hall for the Connected workshop last week.

Seniors connect at library event The recent Seniors Festival drew attention to the many services available to support and connect seniors in the Warrumbungle Shire.

by LIZ CUTTS L o ca l sen iors had the opportunity to get connected, with activities held in Coonabarabran during the NSW Seniors Festival.

T he theme of th is year’s festival ‘Celebrate Together’ invited seniors to get together and enjoy social connection events, hosted by Coonabarabran Library.

Poetry in the library was the theme for Library L over s Day held on Tuesday, 14 February, with seniors rolling up to read their favourite verse and enjoy morning tea together.

On Friday, 17 February, Macquar ie R eg ional L ibrar y teamed up w i t h Wa r r u m b u n g l e C om mu n it y Ca r e i n partnership with Seniors R ights Ser v ice and CatholicCare WilcanniaForbes for presentations on the broad range of prog rams ava i lable through the services.

Warrumbungle Community Care (WCC) provides services for the frail aged, people with a disability and their carers i n the Wa r r umbu ngle Shire to remain living independently in their own homes.

P rog rams include commu n ity tra nspor t , s o c i a l s upp o r t , home maintenance, home care

packages, respite for carers, L GBT I and culturally inclusive ser v ices and Meals on Wheels.

WCC supervisor, Deanne Britton said information on some services seems to slip under the radar, so it is important that seniors and the wider community know about the various programs that can be tapped into.

She said that events like this gives WCC the opportunity to reach out, connect and engage with a new audience.

Va l d e r B o y d , f r o m Seniors Rights Service, talked about the free and confidential legal advice and aged-care advocacy available to older NSW residents, as well as a comprehensive referral service.

“Seniors Rights Service is a community organisation dedicated to protecting and advancing the rights of older people, particularly vulnerable and disadvantaged groups,” Ms Boyd explained. “ We l i s t e n , c l a r i f y you r issues, prov ide information, inform you of your rights, identify possible outcomes, help you advocate for yourself and, if requested, speak up for you. “ For example, many people feel uncomfortable raising a complaint about a service they depend on for their daily care.

“Our advocates can do

this on their behalf.

Needs “ T he needs of some groups in our community often go unmet by mainstream services, so Seniors Rights Service prioritises assisting people who are disadvantaged and vulnerable.”

CatholicCare WilcanniaForbes representative, Mirandah Shields talked about the organisation’s programs and services caring for the wellbeing of individuals, families and communities, especially the vulnerable and at risk. “ We support parents and children, we of fer c ou n s el l i ng a nd r el at ion s h ip s upp or t , services to assist with financial counselling and capabi l ity, suppor ti ng fami l ies a f fected by domestic violence, r el at ion sh ip ser v ic es , accommodation and housing support, Indigenous communities’ programs and services for youth,” she said. “ R u r a l p e o pl e f a c e daily challenges which means living and thriving in disadvantaged c om mu n it ie s c a n b e difficult. “ Understa nd i ng the profile of the people who l ive i n t he s e r e g ion s helps us provide targeted relevant services.”

Lorraine, Judy, Maureen and Edna were pleased with their free samples from the seniors information session.

Bungle Rumble return Frozen chips reliant on funding in short supply Residents, visitors and business owners are keen to see the return of the Bungle The old idiom ‘cheap as chips’ may need to be changed to Rumble, but event funding is required to hold the event. ‘rare as chips’ if the current potato supply remains low.

by CHRIS WARD Will the Bungle Rumble return to shake the foundations of Coonabarabran?

One of the organisers, Kodi Brady thinks so, but s a id t he de c i sion ultimately comes down to whether or not funding can be secured to hold the event.

Mr Brady and others have put many painstaking hours i nt o a $ 6 0 , 0 0 0 g r a nt application from the State Government to fund a s e q uel t o t he l a r g ely popular November 2022 event.

A fter submitting the application, which was b u o y e d b y nu m e r o u s

letters of support from various businesses and or g a n i s at ion s a r ou nd the district, Mr Brady was optimistic about the chances, but said there was still a way to go. “ T his lot of funding i s for $ 6 0 , 0 0 0 . I f we are successful, another $20,000 in funding would be ideal,” he said.

“And there are different f u nd i ng oppor tu n ities that pop up throughout the year which we can apply for.

“The idea is to go even bigger and better than the first event.”

W h i le he sa id the follow-up event would run similarly to the previous one, Mr Brady said there wou ld l i kely b e s ome

minor changes. “ I f we wer e able t o get the funding to run it again we would probably put a small cover fee on it for entry,” Mr Brady explained. “ The first event was completely free, but that’s not really sustainable and we think everyone had such a go od ti me they won’t mind paying a minimal fee of $5 or $10 to get in. “ It’s still very much worth it for a good night o f m a rket s , fo o d a nd music.”

Jodi Cormie who had he r c o f fe e v a n – L i l ’ Coffee Cart on site at the first event, was excited to hear a second Bungle Rumble could be in the

pipeline.

“The first one was great for me from a business point of view and gave me great exposure,” Mrs Cormie said. “ It was a real asset to the town and it put a focus on Coona and what we’ve got to offer.”

Regarding the possibility of introducing a cover charge, M rs Cormie said she didn’t t h i n k it wou ld a f fe c t attendance.

“Everyone said after the first one that they couldn’t believe it was free,” she said.

“As long as the entry fee is kept to a minimum, I don’t think it will put people off.”

Coonabarabran performer Megan Varty gets the crowd going early on at the inaugural Bungle Rumble last year.

by JIMMY WHALAN Hot chips have been harder to come by this summer as adverse weather conditions have affected potato farming.

This shortage has made an impact at local supermarkets and cafes, with some having to source a different supply of chips to keep things moving.

Eat It Café owners said that they have had to change their chip supply

from their usual A-Grade chips to B-Grade, as their normal supply is not expected to return until the end of June.

While they haven’t had a time where they’ve run out of chips, hash browns and potato gems have been much more difficult to keep stocked.

A glance at the frozen food aisles at IGA and Woolworths shows just how bleak the supply is.

IGA has had essentially

no stock of frozen chips since around Christmas time, with normal supply not expected to return until mid-March.

IGA also reported a shortage of frozen vegetables in store. Among the chips that are available are boxed microwave chips and Black and Gold shoestring chips at IGA. Woolworths also has boxed microwave chips and Strong Roots brand chips.

Grocery shelves are bare of frozen potato chips, with the current potato shortage affecting local supplies.

A novelty carnival was held at stage sport swimming in lieu of the original swimming carnival cancellation as a result of the Coonabarabran town pool not functioning. Again, the flexibility and enthusiasm of staff and students to embrace new and different things shone through. It was an enormous success!

All the students responded well to the fast and fun rotations and had great exposure to different pool skills. They were able to compete against other in a treasure hunt, pool soccer, boogie-board relay and the biggest bomb and belly flop, which was enthusiastically embraced by staff too!

As their time came to a close, students had the window of opportunity for a swim with all of the fun and bright equipment.

The results of this day and the other results from Binnaway pool combined to put the houses in their winning order: 1st - Meteorites (green) on 50 points.

2nd - Satellites (red) on 43 points.

3rd - Asteroids (yellow) on 41 points.

4th - Comets (Blue) on 35 points.

Zone swimming On Friday, 17 February, around 20 students from Coonabarabran Public School attended the zone swimming carnival at Coolah. Upon arrival we were greeted with fantastic weather for swimming; the sun was shining and the temperature was on its way into the 30s.

Our competitors all showed wonderful sportsmanship throughout the day, cheering one another on and congratulating fellow competitors on their achievements.

Our swimmers all put in a fantastic effort on the day; plenty of winners and even more students coming home with a ribbon.

A special congratulations goes to respective age champions Olive Moppett, Hudson Jenner and Lyla Mckernan.

Congratulations to all participants on their efforts throughout the day and thanks to Coolah Central School for hosting a very successful carnival.

Radio Shack Mrs Pincham and Mrs Meyers have been working diligently in preparation for our Coonabarabran Public School Radio Shack segment on our local radio station.

The children listened to radio shows, discussed what makes a good show and presenter, then started the scripts for their show and made up a roster for when they would be having their turn.

All children who had returned their permission note were able to visit the radio station at the showground. Mr Rob Dean showed them through the station and all children really enjoyed seeing the “brain” room where all the computers are kept which run the station.

Our Radio Shack segment will be on air on Tuesdays at 4pm and repeated 6pm on Saturdays, so please turn into our segment to hear our clever our kids are.

WEATHER WATCH

Coonabarabran’s Twilight Netball Competition will officially commence next Monday, 27 February.

13 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 23rd February 2023

It has become notably dry this month, not only in our region, but also across at least three-quarters of the continent.

The rainfall has exceeded the February average at few places in northern tropical Queensland namely 298mms at Julia Creek, 514mms at Weipa, 296mms at Normanton and 379mms at Cooktown.

Further south, in the Warrego and Maranoa region, it has been very dry and hotter than normal with maximum temperatures reaching 42 degrees. At Roma only 0.6mms has fallen this month and the total summer rain has reached 39.2mms, making this summer to date being the second driest in 153 years of records. The driest summer was in 201819 with the rainfall of 36.4mms.

Other very dry summers in Roma were in 1911-12 and 1964-65 and unless heavy rain arrives by the end of February at Roma, the rainfall picture for this year looks one of grim dryness after those three driest summers at Roma.

Currently, a large area of inland Western Australia is covered by low pressures and this could produce rain and thunderstorms in our regions by the weekend of 25-26 February.

Perth has had no rain for six weeks and it has been an exceedingly dry summer to date, with only 1.4mms, the third-driest summer behind 0.8mms in 1974-75 and 0.2mms in 2009-10.

Other very dry summers in Perth over the last 148 years were in 1986-87, 1997-98 and 2013-14.

These five cases of very

dry summers in Perth did impact favourably on our regions by providing a wetter-than-average year, generally.

About 265mms of rainfall occurred this month at Cairns, where I am currently staying, and some 140mms has fallen since I arrived last Thursday morning. On the Friday I had the pleasure of taking the four young great grandchildren, with some family members, for a long walk along Trinity Beach and then we all had ice creams and made it back to our cabins just before a deluge of 42mms in the next hour.

Dew point temperatures reached 25.6 degrees, very high indeed. Such high dew point temperature readings do not occur in Victoria and NSW.

by CHRIS WARD The local rugby league club took a hiatus from competition in 2022 due to a lack of player numbers.

But newly-elected president Stephen Walton said the signs were looking good for the year ahead, with players already committed to their preseason training.

Dustin Crawley has taken on the role of first grade coach, however, he probably won’t pull the

boots on after a recent boating incident left him with a hamstring injury.

“Its a good and a bad thing. On one hand Dusty will be able to control everything from the sideline, but his impact on the field will be missed,” Walton said.

“At the moment they are getting a few down at training, but they could do with some more – so if anyone is keen for a run they should head down to the oval.”

Training for under 18s and the women’s league tag competition has also commenced, and Walton is urging anyone interested in having a run to join in.

“We’re hopeful of getting a girls’ team off the ground and we’ve got a good strong base of players – we just need a few more,” he said.

“We don’t have a coach yet, but as soon as we get one I expect a few girls to come out of the woodwork.

“At the moment we don’t have many for the

under 18s. We have a good coach lined up in Anthony Harris, so hopefully we can get a few more numbers there to field a team.”

When the shortened reserve grade competition kicks off later into the year the Unicorns’ president expects the club to field a strong team.

The Castlereagh competition is also putting together an under 21 representative side that will play the likes of Woodbridge and Orange.

“The main message is we are back this year, we’re looking forward to it and anyone who wants to have a run should come down to training,” Walton said.

“We’re looking forward to having a good year.”

Currently, training for all grades is being held each Thursday from 6pm at Coonabarabran’s number three oval. Eventually, training sessions will also resume on Tuesday evenings.

Bowman gains selection in Pennants underway state lawn bowls squad LAWN BOWLS

Congratulations to Coonabarabran High School student Sam Bowman, who has been officially selected as one of 40 junior bowlers for the 2023 NSW Junior Representative and Development Squad.

by EMMA HARVEY Sam, who was introduced lawn bowls at age nine by his grandfather, has now progressed to state level at just 16 years of age.

It is well-deserved recognition for the skilled young bowler who trains regularly after school and on the weekends at Coonabarabran Bowling Club, and competes in both Junior and Open tournaments across Australia.

“I’ve been able to travel all over,” Sam said.

“Melbourne, Gold Coast, Wollongong.”

It was a recent Inter-Zone 7-A-Side tournament in Dubbo that saw Sam’s team take the gold. This victory, along with his impressive track-record, secured his selection for the NSW Junior Squad.

Sam’s favourite position is Skip, as he “enjoys the pressure” of being the last player to bowl.

Later in the year, Bowls NSW will select players from their Junior Development Squad to represent the NSW Junior Blues.

Not just an old man’s sport The reputation of lawn bowls as a sport reserved for retired men in whites has faded fast in recent times, as the game gains momentum with a younger crowd.

Bowling as a social sport has taken off at clubs around the country, as young people are inclined to book a green with friends for a relaxed social game.

Indeed, Sam Bowman’s love of bowls has formed not just due to his passion and talent for the sport, but also the “lifelong friendships” he has formed through the Coonabarabran Club.

As for the assumption that lawn bowls is a gentle or even simple spor t, Sam cites the hand- eye coordination, technical precision and strategy required, as well as the “mental stamina” needed to sustain focus during long games without breaks.

Sam said he has watched lawn bowls become more popular in recent years, and enjoys playing in local social tournaments such as Coonabarabran Bowling Club’s upcoming Autumn Twilight Bowls competition.

T he C o onaba rabra n golfing ladies are gearing up for the 2023 season.

Races sizzle as temperature soars It wasn’t only the horses sweating at Coonabarabran’s recent Summer Race Meet, but there were some cool winnings for punters willing to avoid the race favourites.

by CHRIS WARD High temperatures had ra ce g o e r s c l a m o u r i n g fo r t h e s h a d e, b u t t h e 3 8 d e g r e e d a y d i d n’ t put too many people off Coonabarabran’s Summer Race Meet held last Saturday, 18 February.

Most punters were left feeling hot under the collar, however, with only one of the favourites on the six-

race card saluting.

It wasn’t until race five when the Clint Lundholm trained So Extra, r idden

by Jake Pracey- Holmes, c ro s s e d t h e l i n e i n f i r s t place, paying $3.00.

Nicka Narcells ran second, fending off a fastfinishing Inferno Miss.

Lundholm took out the last race as well, with In the Road winning the 1100 metre Benchmark 50.

In The Road showed some real grit when it found itself in a battle with Minimal at about the 300 mark. But it managed to outlast its rival as Minimal faded late.

The biggest upset of the day came in race three w h e n t h e S a l l y To r r e n s trained Sligo Queen, paying $51, found the sweet spot in the track out wide thanks to on-board hoop, Andrew Banks.

Banks found himself close to last at the 4 0 0 metre mark before pushing wide and finishing strongest to win by a length to race favourite Barry The Poet.

Adam Freeman, president of the Coonaba rab ran Jockey Cl ub, p ra i sed eve r yone involved in the day.

“It was a perfect day. It was a bit hot, but otherwise it was great,” he said.

“Eve r yone w ho came through the gates had a great time - there was a great atmosphere!

“We had more people than we expected too.

“And we had a l ot of comments about how good the track and all the facilities were. The whole committee did an amazing job. It was a next to perfect day.”

The good news continues

Included in that will be a 24/ 7 secu r it y ca m e ra system which will cover the entire facility.

But Mr Freeman said he wasn’t stopping there.

“We have some big plans for a couple of other big projects and improvements in the near future,” he said.

Music benefits for all ages Gunnedah Conservatorium Gunnedah Conservatorium instructor Sandy Clark says music can offer something to people at any age.

“There is so much research now about the benefits of music,” she said.

The Gunnedah piano teacher said singing can be particularly beneficial for overall good health, including older Australians.

She described how the release of vocal chords was not only great for our physical and mental health, it also “just makes you happy”.

“Singing works on so many levels,” Sandy said.

When performed alongside other people, singing also helps foster social connections.

Gunnedah’s community choir is among the group singing activities on offer.

The choir is open to people of all ages and experience levels.

Participants come from varied backgrounds and all are encouraged to be themselves.

“When you’re with a group, you sound great – it can give a lot of confidence,” Sandy said.

The community choir practises everyday Wednesday from 6pm upstairs at the Gunnedah Conservatorium.

Another group of interest is the Singalongs which also meets on Wednesday evenings in the Gunnedah Town Hall and caters to a range of music genres. Current repertoire includes the music of The Seekers, Beatles, Elvis and Neil Diamond, songs from musicals and folk music.

Singalong members Sandra Jamieson and Adele O’Connell have made many friendships in the group since joining.

Adele said the Wednesday evenings spent singing with friends was her favourite time of the week.

“I come to Singalongs for the joy of singing with the new friends I have made along the way,” Adele said.

It was a similar story for

said.

Activities for senior community members are not limited to group activities and in recent years the Conservatorium has seen an increase in adult members taking up individual tuition.

“Sometimes it is a case of having always wanted to learn an instrument, or perhaps they have a desire to brush up on skills from

their youth,” director Rebecca Ryan said.

“It is wonderful to see older community members taking the opportunity to develop their music skills through individual lessons and our teachers are experts in tailoring their teaching approach and working with students to reach their goals, whatever their age.”

Our seniors: The people who have built what we have today The days when older people, nowadays more appropriately known as ‘seniors’, are expected to quietly fade away are long gone.

Today’s seniors, the ‘baby boomers’, expect and demand more.

They are not fading, they are busy, dynamic and active.

And there are more opportunities to enjoy life - a longer life - than ever before. The issues of health traditionally associated with ageing have been largely met and managed.

Our seniors are retiring from one occupation and starting a new

one, launching businesses based on their invaluable life experience, travelling, mentoring, volunteering, and yes, playing golf, having a few beers when they feel like it, and of course doing the odd bit of babysitting.

What do we owe our senior citizens, our parents, uncles and aunts, grandparents?

We owe them thanks for the society we have today in Australia, a society which may have its flaws but which is, at its ‘worst’, infinitely better than just about anywhere else in the Western world.

Today’s society which we enjoy has been paid for by our earlier generations who are very much part of our world today.

We owe them respect and dignity.

We owe it to them to listen to their advice and opinions. We can learn from our seniors. As Mark Twain said, “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”

We owe it to them to make time for them, even though we have a busy life of our own. We will expect the same in years to come.

We owe it to our seniors to be their advocates and their assistants when needed. This means helping with their entry into an increasingly high tech world - and be ready to be surprised that they know much more than we may have assumed.

Stay in focus with Vision Splendid The vast majority (90 per cent) of vision loss and blindness is preventable or treatable when identified early.

Alison Stuart, from Vision Splendid Optometrist, says that there’s a misconception amongst Australians that visiting the optometrist is only necessary when something is noticeably wrong.

“Just because someone can read the bottom line on the eye chart, doesn’t necessarily mean their eyes are healthy.”

The reality is that many eye diseases occur slowly, over years, and

Vision Splendid sometimes without any obvious signs or symptoms. This is why regular eye examinations with an optometrist are essential to make early detection more achievable and combat potential issues.

Many eye diseases have no early symptoms. A good example of this is glaucoma which causes slow and painless loss of vision over months or years.

“With glaucoma, the patient typically has no idea anything is wrong,” Alison said. “They notice no change in their vision until the condition has progressed. Because of this, the single best way to protect your vision is through regular eye examinations.”

Another eye disease found mostly in older Australians is macula degeneration. This condition causes blur or distortion in the central part of a person’s vision.

Often it isn’t immediately noticed if the other eye is seeing well. A simple at-home test called an Amsler grid (left) is available for seniors to self-check their central vision.

“It’s basically a small square grid,” Alison explained. “If you wear glasses for reading you put them on and cover one eye. Look at the centre of the grid, there is usually a small dot there to fix on.

“Then check to see if the grid lines appear straight and regular.

If they are wobbly or there are dark areas or gaps, there may be changes happening at your macula and you should consult your optometrist as soon as possible.”

It’s vital that all Australians visit the optometrist, with Optometry Australia recommending regular eye examinations from the time just prior to starting school and

Vision Splendid optometrist Alison Stuart. then throughout life. Australians should visit an optometrist immediately if they notice changes in vision such as loss of vision; blurred, hazy or double vision; severe, sudden or recurrent eye pain; seeing flashes of light or sudden dark floating spots; unusual or painful sensitivity to light or glare; swollen, red eyes and excessive

discharge from the eyes - particularly if green or yellow.

To book an appointment at Vision Splendid, contact the friendly team at one of its four practices located around the North West - Gunnedah (6742 2665), Narrabri (6792 1342), Moree (6752 1753) and Coonabarabran (6842 1533).

Eye disease and reduced vision are common in seniors.

In fact, one in ten Australians over 55 has some form of vision impairment.

Why not book an appointment for a comprehensive eye test? At Vision Splendid, our friendly optometrists will help you optimise your vision and see life - clearly!

Keeping the community connected Love and positivity were in the air at Namoi Care Connect on Valentine's Day when some Wee Waa residents gathered for their weekly Day Activities session.

As well as playing bingo, attendees created cute Valentine gnome faux cupcakes and enjoyed catching up on each other's news over morning tea and lunch.

NCC executive officer Alana Galagher said social interaction was vital to nurturing positive mental health and wellbeing.

"Getting people out of their house and adding a bit of fun and enjoyment to their day is what we try to do," said Mrs Galagher.

"And, assisting people so they can remain active, healthy and independent in their own homes for as long as possible is one of our main aims with our older clients.”

As well as fun gatherings, NCC services include garden maintenance, individual assistance at home and in the community, transport services for essential tasks, Meals on Wheels – delivering hot meals in Wee Waa and frozen meals to other areas such as Pilliga and Gwabegar.

There's never a dull moment at the not-for-profit organisation with a variety of activities and outings listed on the Namoi Care Connect social calendar, and new attendees are always given a warm welcome.

Older clients will need to be registered with My Aged Care to be eligible for services, the friendly

Namoi Care Connect staff can assist to make the process easier.

The sessions are a great way to meet new people, learn a different skill, stay active, and they are considered a highlight for many NCC clients and staff, especially older members of our community.

From monthly social outings in the local area to gentle exercise classes held on Mondays, social Day Activities gatherings on Tuesdays, and a men's group meeting on Wednesdays – there is something for everyone.

"The exercise classes are about social connection too," explained Mrs Galagher.

"While people might come for the exercise, which does help with stability and with preventing falls, there's also a benefit for their mental health too – just seeing someone, having a cup of tea and a chat, there's a dual purpose.

"It's the same as with delivering meals; it's not just about bringing the meal to the client, it's a friendly face to chat to and having someone eyeball that client to make sure they're physically okay.

"Also, spending that extra time with them on social outings gives us a better understanding over a couple of hours rather than just a short period of time.

"It's a really good check-in on how they are going both

physically and mentally."

Based in Wee Waa, Namoi Care Connect provides a unique service, and has been supporting the Wee Waa, Pilliga and Gwabegar communities since 1988. In 2006, it expanded to include transport services for the whole Narrabri Shire stretching out to parts of Burren Junction too. Without Namoi Care Connect, there would be many people - both younger and older - who would struggle to attend appointments.

For example, there’s a fortnightly bus NCC runs to both Narrabri and Tamworth to assist people in the district who don’t have any other means of transports, and its offered to residents of all ages.

There are clients who don’t have family or close friends living nearby, so NCC and its dedicated volunteers create a connection that not only offers assistance but also a friendly and familiar face to help people along the way.

Namoi Care Connect is supported by a group of committed volunteers who make up the board of management. The Board meets bi-monthly and are always on the lookout for more members.

Members are a mix of clients, volunteers and people from the local community, who are interested in supporting and

enhancing local services for local people.

Volunteers remain a vital and much needed part of Namoi Care Connect, helping to provide a high level of service to clients and ongoing wellbeing of our local community.

NCC’s local and experienced

team members understand the needs of the wonderful people who make up our country community and so they are able to deliver an empathetic and practical service that allows many residents to stay in the comfort of their own homes rather than moving to a larger centre.

"Potentially, if some of our clients didn't receive this service, their only option would be to move somewhere else, but a lot of them just don't want to live anywhere else," said Mrs Galagher. "A lot of our clients were once active members of this community; they're the people who made it the great place it is today, so it's nice to be able to give back to them.”

Opportunity to lease iconic Francis Hotel in Thallon MARKETPLACE A rare opportunity to lease an iconic hotel in the village of Thallon – in south-west Queensland – is available for someone looking to start or continue their journey in Australia’s thriving pub scene.

The current lease-holders Warren and Amanda Morriss are looking to handover the reins to the charming venue.

“It is a great business and wonderful opportunity for a young couple or family,” Warren said.

“We would never have achieved what we have without hard work and input.”

Local staff are employed at the venue, including a part-time cleaner as well as bar and kitchen staff.

During the busy seasons, their hours are increased to cope with demand.

“The pub used to average about 10 kegs a month,” Warren said.

“We now do 23 at our peak and about 15 regularly.”

Part of the pub lease includes the ongoing lease of the eight-bedroom railway quarters which are booked out during harvest time – from the first week of September usually until early December.

“The revenue from that alone pays your full lease payments for the year,” Warren said.

“Additionally, the pub has four rooms upstairs that run at about 45 per cent occupancy all yearround.

“The managers’ quarters are there also – a double room and two other rooms - bathroom and toilet as well as a closed-in front verandah.”

Following the work Warren and Amanda have put into transforming the Francis Hotel, locals have started flocking again to their local watering hole.

“The pub was averaging about 60 meals a week when we took over. The average now is 155,” Warren said.

“To do that, the food components and variety had to be

changed. The kitchen got a revamp and is now workable to suit the hotel’s needs.”

The introduction of Jag the Joker and Mug of the Week have been a popular addition at Thallon, and the resurrection of the back lawn area and beer garden have added to hotel’s atmosphere.

“For young families there is plenty of room for the kids to play while mum and dad, or the grandparents, sit back and enjoy their beverage or coffee and lamington,” Warren said.

“We have regular barbecues and are just about to start the ‘long lunch Sunday’.”

Ongoing business and activity contributes to the success of the Francis Hotel, starting with cotton maintenance works early in the year followed by nomads travelling through the village.

Among the highlights for travellers are the silo art and sculpture trail.

Agriculture is a major contributor to the village and the hotel is no different – with cotton activities throughout the year providing a welcome boost to business.

The grain harvest is as equally as beneficial.

“This is a great little money-making town that has now become a stopover for tour groups and car rallies – not just silo seekers,” Warren said.

Warren and Amanda are offering the opportunity to take over the running of the iconic Francis Hotel for $150,000, walk-in, including stock at cost.

The price includes the remainder of their five-year lease as well as a five-year option.

The courtesy bus, refrigerated container cold room, ride-on mower and pizza oven form part of the offering.

“Our price is less than you'd buy a house for or even get a return on rent for,” Warren said.

Call Warren on 07 4625 9188 or 0417 735 210 to find out about this rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

RARE OPPORTUNITY: The iconic Francis Hotel, in Thallon (south-west Queensland) is available to lease.

An opportunity exists for a couple or family to join Australia’s thriving pub scene by leasing the Francis Hotel. The iconic pub is located in a thriving agricultural region, and Thallon itself is a popular location for travellers.

Acclaimed chef a feature of Moree on a Plate in 2023 MOREE Moree on a Plate has announced that one of Australia's most acclaimed chefs, Christine Manfield, will be a feature of the 2023 festival.

As one of Australia’s leading culinary ambassadors, Christine's professional culinary life as restaurateur culminated in three ground breaking, highly acclaimed restaurants, Paramount in Sydney 1993 to 2000, East@West in London 2003 to 2005 and Universal 2007 to 2013.

Moree on a Plate is one of regional NSW's most beloved food festivals, incorporating a diversity of producers from across the region and beyond.

To be held on Saturday, May 13, the festival will also include a range of entertainment the whole family can enjoy, and collaborates with local art galleries and tourism operators to promote a genuine Moree regional experience, spanning across the Mother's Day weekend.

This will be Christine's first visit to Moree, and an ideal introduction to town through its food community - which she describes as the ultimate 'win win'!

"I'm excited to meet avid food lovers of this regional community, seeing another

corner of our Australian outback, sharing food experiences and stories, tasting the local produce - food takes you to the heart of the matter every time, engaging and connecting with people."

An inveterate traveller, Christine has hosted bespoke gastronomic tours over the past twenty odd years to exotic destinations including India, Africa, Bhutan, France, South East Asia, Italy and South America.

Since relocating to the Tweed Coast in northern NSW her vision for future travel and food tours has a sharp focus on immersive food and agri-tourism adventures in regional Australia and we're very much looking forward to introducing her to our fabulous local producers at Moree on a Plate.

Christine is also an award-winning author, with books including Indian Cooking Class, A Personal Guide to India & Bhutan, Dessert Divas, Tasting India, Fire, Spice, Stir, Paramount Cooking and Paramount Desserts, and will have a range of her books available for sale at the festival.

RIGHT: Acclaimed Australian chef Christine Manfield will be at Moree on a Plate in 2023.

Opening night bash to mark the start of CREATE There's no better way to get into the mood for CREATE than joining us at the Crossing Theatre for the Opening Night bash.

With a glass of bubbly in your hand, exquisite canapes, and a group of friends - it'll be easy to get lost in the art.

As you work through the main exhibition, three live acts will start the party.

Denis Harvey on the baby grand will set the atmosphere before Melbourne-based band Rudely Interrupted takes to the stage, making their first appearance in Narrabri after COVID-19 cancelled their plans last year.

This band is one of Australia's most unique

independent rock acts, touring and releasing their anthems across the globe!

Gomeroi/Kamilaroi and Arryntre woman Quarralia Knox will close out the night. Inspired by genres ranging from musical theatre, Pop, K-pop, Rap, Hip-hop/RnB, and infusing them into her original songs, attendees will be able to dance the night away.

Join us from 7pm on Friday, March 10 for an evening of live music, art, and great company.

Tickets include two drinks on arrival and canapes.
