NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK: THE CHANGE MAKERS

National Volunteer Week highlights life-saving service The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service is supported by local volunteers, bringing the community together to sustain this essential emergency service in the bush.

by GEORGIA SPENCE A u s t r a l i a’s b i g g e s t celebration of volunteer work occurred last week, from 15-21 May. Nat i o n a l Volu nt e e r Week runs annually and recognises the important work of millions of volunteers and the crucial support everyday Australians provide.

This celebration embraces inclusion of all people and communities while encouraging others to consider volunteering.

Nat i o n a l Volu nt e e r Week’s theme for 2023 was “ T he Change Makers” and Coonabarabran was not short on such people.

T he C o on abarabran T im e s s at dow n for a chat with A manda Sutherland, who heads up the Coonabarabran We s t p a c He l i c opt e r Support Group, a volunteer organisation active in the community.

The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service is one t h at save s lo c a l l ive s w ith i n the Nor ther n NSW regions.

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap • Rain and softer market performance in recent weeks tightened cattle supply.

• Restocker lamb demand in Victoria strengthened strongly this week.

• Processing volumes across all species remain well above the corresponding weeks in 2022, indicating strong capacity in the sector.

Cattle T he cattle ma rket continues to operate in typical fashion. This week was a strong example of how the weather drives supply and demand from buyers and sellers.

R a in fa l l th roughout pa r ts of the easter n seaboard, coupled with a softer market in recent we e k s , l e d t o s upply tightening significantly in some regions. National yardings fell by 27% or 15,000 head to see 41,000 head yarded, which is firm on the weekly average for 2023.

While drier conditions heading into winter saw nu mber s l i f t i n other a reas, ya rd i ngs l i f ted at Singleton, Tamworth a nd N V L X Wo d o n g a .

A n increase in supply

leading into winter is not uncommon – these results i nd icat e the ma rket c o n t i nu e s t o o p e r at e i n l i ne w ith ty pica l f u nd a ment a ls usua l ly experienced at this time of year.

Despite softer volumes, prices remained subdued across most categories in general. Commentary from the National L ivestock R epor ting Service (NLRS) continued t o ment ion t heme s of weight, quality and finish offering the most upside in terms of price for sellers.

Q u e e n s l a n d ’s r ebu i ld i n g i nt ent ion s r ema i n cle a r, w ith the state d r iv i ng a strong improvement in r e s t o c ke r pr i c e s t h i s week for both steers and heifers following rain in

some catchment areas.

F urthermore, solid rainfall in the west saw Mount Barker register a very strong lift in prices as demand lifted with rainfall, improving buyer confidence.

Finished prices remain pressured, with the processor cow and heavy steer falling 17¢ a nd 11¢/ kg l iveweight ( lw t) respectively this week. A strong supply of finished cows continues to be turned off based on age, with producers choosing to retain younger females.

E v i d e n t l y, s u p p l y o f processor stock remains st r ong, w it h n at ion a l slaughter numbers reaching their highest level since 2020 last week.

Sheep I n l i ne w it h c at t le ,

sheep and lamb supply a ls o t ight ened on the back of rainfall and softer prices.

Despite the national i nd icat or sof ten i ng, dem a nd for r e st o c ker lambs in Victor ia was robust and prices saw a 57¢ or 11% increase to end the week at 570¢/kg carcase weight (cwt). This is a 102¢/kg cwt or 21% premium to the national price.

Finished lamb prices remain under pressure – with lamb supply onfarm evidently sufficient, processing demand at the saleyards was subdued this week.

T he heavy lamb softened 6c/kg cwt this week wh i lst the trade lamb indicator remained firm. This high supply of

lambs (which have been mo st ly held back due to wet conditions from 2022’s spring flush) has provided processors with large supplies and the luxury of choice. The large volume of lambs available and booked into plants is reducing demand for finished lambs.

Mutton supply is also buoyant at present, despite lower saleyard volumes, evidently processors have booked in large supplies of stock which is negating the need to compete on mutton in the saleyards.

All of this is because of the flock growth and therefore demand remains soft. The indicator fell 7¢/kg cwt this week.

Slaughter S l au g ht e r nu m b e r s across all species remain

robust – a product of the exceptional herd and flock rebuilds and subsequent g row th the cattle a nd sheep i ndustr ies have experienced.

A s ex p e c t e d , c at t le slaughter has recovered strongly post-April, with last week’s volume the h ighest si nce 2 0 2 0 at 119,460 head. This is 37%, or 32 ,0 0 0 higher than the corresponding week in 2022. This week, the weekly average of cattle pro cessed h it 10 0,0 0 0 head (the first time this has happened since 2020).

The processing sector continues to cope with i nc r e a s ed nu mber s of c at t le , a lt hou g h ne x t m o nt h’s a c t i v it y w i l l determine the sector ’s ability to deal with higher supply on a regular basis.

Vo lu m e s o f l a m b processed remains above 400,000 head, indicating strong supply as a result of lambs held back from the spring flush in 2022.

Sheep slaughter remains elevated on the prev ious two t o th ree years – a direct result of the flock’s growth and the luxury producers now have in turning off older, non-performing females.

Goat slaughter r e g i s t er e d it s s e c ond highest week of numbers processed since March 2 017, on ly beh i nd the volume processed a fortnight ago. This data clearly demonstrates goat processing plants’ strong c apac it y t o de a l w it h higher supply. © Meat & Livestock Australia Limited, 2023

Hold your horses - it’s Expo Some might say the town stops for the North West Equestrian Expo, but the committee members, volunteers and sponsors never slow down.

Ever yone knows it ’s E x po time when the t emperatu re a rou nd Coonabarabran drops to a winter chill and the wisps of smoke that grey the night air grow thicker.

Rugs are being unpacked, ribbons sorted a nd e q u ipment bu i lt , repaired or revamped to create the now famous and reputedly best-run school horse event in the country.

T he ha rd-work i ng committ ee a nd head s t ewa r d s a r e put t i n g the final administrative ticks on their entries and attendance expectations.

A ll exper ienced and many long serving, this reliable and enthusiastic g r oup of c om mu n it y representatives have been d i l i g ent ly o r g a n i s i n g their event over the past months.

Rebecca Moxham, Expo secretary, begins her preparation for the nex t ye a r on the l a st day of Expo the previous year, while everyone else i s w i nd i n g dow n a nd s h a r i n g t h e i r n e wl ycreated memories. Her enthusiasm is unwaning.

Expo sees the little town of Coonabarabran welcome more than 5 0 0 r iders, who a re

accompanied by parents, s i bl i n g s , f r ie nd s a nd teachers.

The showground comes a l ive w ith ever y th i ng horse and rider.

A nother not ewor thy group of people a s s o c i at e d w it h E x p o are the many judges and their assistants, who are g reatly appreciated as they willingly g ive up thei r time for days of slopping around in the mud, writing times and scores.

T h e r e w o u ld b e n o event without this army of volunteers, some of whom have never been on a horse in their lives.

The other very important members of the Expo community are the sponsors. Without these generous and supportive people, and their willingness to part with their own hard-earned money, there would be no event.

Starting at the t op w ith F urn e ys a nd G o d olph in , t her e a r e ma ny busi nesses both local and interstate who prov ide donations and merchandise to help make the event run and provide prizes in the form of rugs, bags of feed, saddle cloths and other gear.

Among the many and substantial local donors are Forsyth’s Financial Services and the Coonabarabran Bakery, which have been sponsors from the inception of the event 31 years ago. Their support and continued generous contributions are deeply appreciated.

This year their support will be in the form of new and very overdue trophies for Best P resented Small School and Best Presented Large School.

Review findings keep Inland Rail on track

It’s a boy!

The importance of the Inland Rail project has been affirmed amidst some concerns raised by an independent review.

by CHRIS WARD A rev iew i nt o the Inland Rail project which passes through parts of the Warrumbungle Shire has revealed a massive budgetary blowout.

T he repor t has a lso highlighted how it has been bogged in further controversies including different issues in the handling of the project, including the proposed route.

D e s p i t e t h e s h o r t c om i n g s , it wa s agreed that the project was impor tant for the future of the country.

The review was commissioned by the Albanese government and conducted by Dr Kerry Schott who put forward 19 recommendations to the government following her findings in a bid to get the project back on track.

In response, the government agreed with 15 of the findings and agreed in principle with the other four.

T wo yea rs ago the estimated cost for the project was $16.4 billion.

T hat f ig u re has si nce jumped conservatively to $31 billion but Dr Schott highlighted her lack of confidence in that current estimate due to the level of uncertainty around the completion date affecting the final cost.

Interestingly, parts of the route are still yet to be finalised and others are under a lot of contention i nc lud i n g t he s e c t ion which runs through the town of Wagga Wagga.

Despite the route not being f inalised, constr uction bega n i n 2018 and, at the time, was expected to finish in 2027.

Warrumbungle Shire mayor, Ambrose Doolan, s a id wh i le t he r e c ent review unearthed some c o n c e r n i n g i s s ue s he was confident the project wou ld eventua l ly be delivered in full. “ T hey ’ve come out and said the priority at the moment is to get to Parkes,” he said. “ S o we a s ke d for a meeting with the minister for industry, Catherine K ing, to determine

exactly what that means for us.

“But in the meantime we have been told they are committed to building the entire line as first planned.

“I’m confident it will get done. There’s been a lot of people who have invested in heav y ea r thmov ing equipment expecting to use it on our section so I take comfort in being told they are committed to building it.”

B a rad i ne P rog ress Association president Ted Heyman said focusing on completing the line to Parkes made sense but he didn’t expect to see any work start on the Shire’s section for a number of years.

“From what I read, the plan is to get up to Parkes done which I think they a re ma k ing a pr ior ity because Parkes is a bit of a rail hub,” he said.

“From the report and small conversations I’ve had I can’t see things happening on our section until at least 2025 or even 2027.”

Parkes electorate MP

Mark Coulton wants to see the project continue as soon as possible. “ T he Inland Rail has been a huge boon for regional New South Wales, but concerns are now growing that projects are stalling under the Labor Government,” he said. “ B u s i n e s s e s i n my electorate have geared up for ongoing work to deliver the Inland Rail; investments that have now been rendered uncertain by the Government.”

Mr Coulton said more than $29 0 million has been invested in local bu si ne s s e s w it h 18 6 0 people employed on each of the Pa rkes t o Narromine and Narrabri to North Star stretches of track. “ T his includes more tha n 3 0 0 a nd 16 0 Indigenous people employed on each respective leg,” he said.

“We want to keep that momentum going to get this job done.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Pack a picnic!

I have never seen Timor Rock reserve look as stunning as it does right now.

I congratulate the Shire staff who are responsible for this picture-perfect

Rare find of pygmy possum A very lucky little Eastern Pygmy Possum travelled some 70 kilometres in an Otto bin before being discovered. of the records coming from the Pilliga Forest.

Their preferred habitat is eucalypt woodland with damp gullies and thick, mid-storey shrubs,

especially where the local Banksia marginata grow.

These tiny possums weigh between 20 to 40 grams and feast on the sweet nectar of Banksia

flowers and eucalypt blossoms, which help them store extra fat in their tails so that they can survive winter torpor in their hollow-log home.

The pygmy possum, rare to this area, in torpor – a state of semi-hibernation which they go into in winter.

Votes are in: race to name Coona’s goat gatekeepers Move over geese, Coonabarabran has new mascots in town.

by GEORGIA SPENCE A y e a r a g o, t w o b l a c k g o a t s appeared on the rock face at the west-bound entrance of the township.

They have become local icons and the call to name them has been widely debated.

Suggested names include Darth and Vader, Rick and Morty – even Lunch and Dinner!

The names seem to reflect the adventurous and cheeky attitudes from the people of Coona.

The goats’ origin is less light hearted.

Local wildlife carer Sue Brookhouse said a year ago the mother of the two goats was run over on Queenie Street.

“They sat on the rock face, waiting

for their mother to return home,” Mrs Brookhouse said.

Being kids at the time, the young goats learned to look after themselves and each other.

They never left.

Whether they are waiting for the mothe r to retu r n, o r if they have a s s ig ned them sel ves the d ut y of watching over the town, these goats have become local celebrities.

Some concer ned citi zens a re worried the goats’ new found fame m i g ht re s u l t i n t h e i r re m ova l by Wa r r u m b u n g l e S h i r e C o u n c i l o r National Parks.

The NSW Government’s Geological Survey, in collaboration with Geoscience Australia, are conducting an airborne electromagnetic (AEM) survey to inform the search for mineral and groundwater resources.

The AEM survey area covers the greater Forbes to Dubbo region and has been extended north to the Coonabarabran region.

A helicopter will fly at a height of 70 m collecting data during daylight hours in June 2023. It will fly approximately east–west along lines up to 7.5 km apart and will avoid homesteads, towers, stock concentrations and steep terrain. It will remain within the survey boundary shown, except when turning around at the end of a survey line or flying to or from airfields.

After collecting green waste from a local supermarket, Alison Fowke and Bob Lines were feeding their farm animals when, to their surprise, they found a very cold, torpid Pygmy Possum in the bottom of the Otto bin.

The tiny 18-gram possum was taken into care by Sue Brookhouse who, and after some detective work, found that the most likely place the marsupial originated from was a property near the end of Dandry Road.

The possum has now been returned to the bush after recovering from his travels and putting on enough weight to get him through winter.

Eastern Pygmy Possums are listed as ‘Vulnerable’ on the Threatened Species Schedule and west of the Dividing Range are a very rare.

“This is a first for me in the 27 years we have been here,” Mrs Brookhouse said.

“I used to care for them when we lived in the Blue Mountains, where they were more common – so this is a really significant and exciting find.”

Pygmy possum sightings for this area are very rare, with most

New journalist joins WORD for WORD the Coona Times

Have you heard? The Coonabarabran Times has a new recruit! Georgia Spence is our new journalist on the scene and she’s got lots of ideas and stories to share.

We thought you might like to meet her...

Hey Georgia, welcome to our rag-tag team! How's your first week going? Great! I am thoroughly enjoying being a part of an awesome team, doing what I love doing.

If you could interview anyone in the world, who would it be and why? Kim Deal from a band called The Breeders. Her musical talent is unbeatable in my eyes and her life experience is something I would love to gain insight on. I would also like to interview any architects to try to understand their creative process.

What’s your favourite word? Fuzziness.

What’s your go-to desk snack? Not sure! I do love fruit and chocolate!

Do you prefer to read the print or digital edition of the Coona Times? Whichever I can get my hands on.

What kinds of stories are you looking forward to writing for the paper? I love anything creative and interviewing artists!

What’s your perfect Sunday? To sit by a waterfall and eat nice food in the sunshine.

W hat’s a fact about you that might surprise people? My partner and I are currently building our own house and have been living in a bell tent for the past two years.

What’s your favourite book? The Book Thief by Markus Zusak will forever be a favourite, along with anything written by Tim Winton.

What do you love most about Coonabarabran and surrounds? The community here is great. People go out of their way to help each other regardless of their situation. I also love the changing of each season, it always brings on a lot of excitement for me as I watch my environment morph.

• Have a story idea for Georgia? Phone 02 6842 1844 or email news@coonabarabrantimes.com

Georgia Spence has joined the staff of the Coonabarabran Times as general news reporter. Say “gidday” to her when you see her around town.

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 begins.

Do you have a nickname? Stanno.

What’s your day job? I work in IT as a Technical Account Manager for a Federal Government Agency.

I travel to Canberra a couple of weeks a year, but mainly work remotely.

How long have you l ived i n Coonabarabran? I grew up here as a kid, stayed until high school, and then came back when COVID broke out. So I’ve been back since April 2020.

What do you love most about the area? Our family own a property out of town, so we spend a lot of time out there. Just farm livin’ – shooting, riding motorbikes.

Wh a t ’s t h e m os t i n te res t i ng job you’ve eve r had? I was a Communications E lectronics Technician for the Royal Australian Air Force, and I was involved in setting up one of the first bases in the Middle East. So that was pretty cool.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? Flop on the lounge with a bag of salt and vinegar chips and probably watch Bluey with the kids. I’ve got six kids, so it’s busy.

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

Steadfast, humble, empathetic.

Wh a t ’s you r f a vou r i t e h o l i d a y destination? I do a bit of fourwheel driving, so four-wheel drive destinations like Fraser Island, Cape York, Tasmania. We were travelling around Australia with five kids and a caravan when COVID struck.

What gets you through a long road trip? Lollies, I Spy, the Guess Who game – we burn a bit of time on that.

Do you prefer to read the print or digital edition of the Coona Times?

We get the paper one – the kids look for themselves in the photos.

What song have you been playing o n re p e a t ? 5 F o ot 9 by Ty l e r Hubbard. I don’t normally listen to a lot of country, but it’s pretty catchy.

If you could have anyone around for dinner (dead or alive) who would it be? Elon Musk. He’s into a lot of stuff that I’m into – SpaceX, Tesla, batteries, all that stuff.

And what would you cook him? The old pork roast is always a winner.

What ’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? I remember my dad telling me “you’ve got put in 100 cents to get a can of Coke,” meaning you’ve got to put in 100 per cent effort.

Who should we chat to next? Narelle Pfeiffer.

The first three weeks of May has seen below normal mean maximum a nd me a n m i n i mu m temperatures and also very dry conditions, not only in our reg ion but over a greater part of the continent.

In our region maximum temperatures so far this month have been a degree or so below normal, while minimum temperatures have been just over two degrees below normal – all the way to Charleville.

Not far away, in the Darling Downs, the town of M i les, t o dat e, has h ad me a n m i n i mu m

t emperatu res nea rly three deg rees below norma l, despite above average rainfall of 37mms – all mostly in one single day.

E lsewhere, Br o ome, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs have had no rain for the last 35 days, with the mean minimums were respectively 2.2, 2.5 and 3 . 8 deg rees below the May normal.

T he mea n-mi n imum t emp e r at u r e at A l i c e Springs of 4.5 degrees to date is just behind the overall low May readings of 3.4 in 1879, 3.9 in 1894, 4.2 in 1913, 4.4 in 1940

1.4 in 1976 and 4.5 in 2012.

All but 1913 and 1940 saw very wet conditions for the first three months of the year in our region, wh ich d id not happen this year. Both 1913 and 194 0 d id see ver y d r y conditions, coupled with many hot days over 40 deg rees, from October through to December in our region.

A large high pressure which pa rked itsel f just south of West er n Australia and brought the recent surge of cold s out h-we s t e rly w i nd s over the last five days, has now weakened, but a new active low-pressure area with a cold front is on its way, due to sweep northwards through our region later this week, ke epi ng t emperat u r es well below normal.

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Coonabarabran Public Last Friday we had a visit from Cameron, from the Royal Lifesaving Society, who taught all of stage three how to perform CPR and about the importance of this life skill. Students had the opportunity to practice CPR on the dummies and then learnt about the recovery position and demonstrated their skills of how to place one of their friends in the recovery position.

W h at an im port a nt and informative morning of learning everyone experienced! We are now all well-equipped if we were to be placed in a lifesaving situation.

Recently, Mrs Mel Evans took a group of girls to Zone netball trials at Coolah Central School to try out for a place in the team for the North West competition, which will be held in Tamworth.

Our girls showed enthusiasm while completing netball skills and playing games in

numerous positions on the netball court.

Every student who attended showed great sportsmanship and learnt from the experience.

Congratulations to the five students who will represent our school in the Coonabarabran Zone team at North West: Asharnii Chatfield, Adelaide Evans, Lily Weatherall, Matilda Graham and Sophia Leedham. The girls are now training with peers during meal breaks and after school. We were well supported by wonderful parents Sallie and Elenore, who helped transport our girls to Coolah to ensure our students had this opportunity! Good luck girls and we look forward to hearing your success.

In other very exciting news, our very own school captain, Olive Moppett, competed at NSW state tennis. Olive reflected that it was a wonderful four days of tennis in Albury.

North West was in Pool A and ended up coming third

in their pool, while the girls’ team that Olive was in placed eighth overall.

Olive recommends tennis to everyone and found the whole experience very worthwhile.

In some other interesting happenings we have very exciting attendance spinners prizes this term: $100 voucher for Surf Work and Street for primary and $100 at Crazy Sams for K-2.

Each morning, every child in attendance goes into a draw and someone is selected for that day.

At the end of the term, students with above 95 per cent have the chance to have their name drawn.

All you have to do is to be here to win.

Finally, Mrs Kearney’s Year 2 students have been cooking up a storm in class.

They created Mother’s Day treats and other goodies.

The students loved every minute of the cooking adventure, but found it very hard not to taste test.

community. We concluded the week with a special mass, open classrooms and a barbecue lunch. It was fantastic to see so many families around the school and the students thoroughly enjoyed show i ng them a r ou nd their classrooms and their work.

High voltage action at Coonamble Rodeo and Campdraft While good prize money promises to lure cowboys, cowgirls, and campdrafters to Coonamble for the June long weekend Rodeo and Campdraft, a packed program and extra camping options will make it easier for visitors to stay for the full experience.

“2022 was our biggest ever and we’re aiming to be even bigger and better this year,” said committee secretary, Steven Butler.

With at least 66 previous events under their shiny b elt s , t he or g a n i s i n g team has mastered the art of giving the crowds a rich and authentic rodeo experience from dawn until well after dark.

After trialling as a new feature event last year, the Saturday Night Shootout will be back, with the top six contenders in the Open Bullride and the Open Saddlebronc battling it out in a one-round, winnertakes-all opportunity to add an extra $1000 to their prize purse.

Another $1000 is on offer in the Frankie Hodgson Memorial Poley Buckjump, with entries wide open to any nominating rider. “ T hese have become a n nua l events on ou r calendar,” Mr Butler said.

“These special events mean more reasons to stick around after the main rodeo events end at around 6 o’clock.”

Live music and rodeo

have always gone hand in hand with the Coonamble L on g We ekend R o de o and the ever-popular Dan Murphy will be playing in the XXXX Bar on Saturday night, followed on Sunday night by Duncan Ferguson at the Stockman & Co bar in the showground pavilion.

For v isit ors, 2 02 3 marks the first year that campsites will be opened just across the road from the main arena.

As close to the action a s you c a n get wh i le preser v ing the on-site c a mpi n g for a n ever g row ing contingent of competitors, the unpowered campsites will be securitysupervised, have toilets on site and lighting towers at key points. “ We’re responding to requests from travellers as far afield as Tasmania and the Territory,” Mr Butler said. “ T h e t o w n ’ s accommodation can get booked out and this campsite is a stone’s throw from the showers at the local caravan park. “ C oonamble Sh i re

Council has really got behind us and we’ve put away a few acres adjacent to the showground that they’ll prepare for us.”

Visitors can ‘park and play ’ for the weekend because they can just walk across to the rodeo ground or catch a courtesy bus into town.

The action gets underway on Friday, 9 June, with the campdraft competition expanding to accommodate more nominations. “ We always get more t h a n 15 0 0 c a mpd r a f t nominations and have to turn people away,” Mr Butler said. “ We ’ v e b e e n v e r y for tunate that a local grazier has offered up to 2000 head of cattle if we need them.

“The interest in these sports continues to grow – we a l ready have 8 0 nominations for the novice barrel racing - it’s huge!”

After the main rodeo and campdraft events on Saturday and Sunday, Junior Rodeo events run predominantly on Monday, 11 June, although you’ll still see the mini bulls

throughout the weekend.

Dedicated local volunteers f rom the Coonamble Rotary Club

a nd C oonamble B ea rs Rugby League will ensure the crowds remain well fed throughout the weekend.

A wide variety of retail stalls will also be on hand to kit out competitors and spectators with everything

they need.

T ickets for both the event and the camping are available on 123Tix.

Roosters and Terriers on top!

With just three rounds of the 2023 Castlereagh League competition played, the Cobar Roosters and the Gulgong Terriers are both undefeated and positioned at the top of the competition ladder.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE Playing at home, the R o ost ers proved t o be too strong for the visiting D u ne d o o S wa n s , wh o went i nt o the mat ch unbeaten, but travelled home as 42-16 losers after the reig n i ng prem iers flexed their muscles and s howe d t h at t hey a r e fully intent on aiming up to make it back-to-back

titles.

Cobar will face a sti f f exami nation th is Saturday when they are at home again, this time to the Narromine Jets, wh o r e g i s t e r e d a b i g win over the Baradine M ag pies at B a rad i ne , taking the game 54 to 18.

The first-grade game at Tom Knight Oval will be

the final one in what will be a huge day of football, with the R oosters and the Jets clashing in both junior and senior grades, c om menc i n g w it h t he under 9’s in the morning and finishing with the first-grade game being played under lights that night. It is anticipated that the youth-leag ue game will kick off around 3.30pm, followed by the l e a g ue - t a g c l a s h a nd then finally the big game between the Roosters and the Jets.

A win to the visitors wou ld s e e t hem d r aw level with Cobar on the competition ladder, so it is a vital game for both clubs.

Just as the Roosters h ave not lo s t a g a me t h i s f a r, t he Gu l g on g Ter r iers have also made a n impressive start to their 2023 campaign, maintaining thei r u nbeat en status when they downed t he C o on a mble B e a r s conv i nci ngly on the Bears’ home turf, winning 50 to 8, which is quite a statement given the renowned doggedness of the Bears when they play at “Bearstone Park”.

In the remaining game, an opening point scoring blitz by the Binnaway Bombshells at the Crater set up what was to be a

thrilling victory by them over last yea r ’s g rand finalists, the Gilgandra Panthers.

The Bombshells stunned the Panthers in the opening 20 minutes, s c or i ng at a poi nt a minute and looking as i f t hey wer e ab out t o give the visitors a real touch up, but by half time the Panthers had clawed their way back into the contest with the score board reading 20-16 at that point.

The second half was, t o a g reat ex t ent , a repl ica of the f i rst 4 0 minutes, with the home side aga i n pi l i ng on the poi nts, before the Pa nthers su rged back late in the game. But the youthful and enthusiastic Bombshells’ outfit was no t t o b e den ie d a nd they held on for a welldeserved victory.

The loss by the Pa nther s le aves them without a win this season, something that they will be out to rectify when they host thei r a rch r iva ls, the Coonabarabran Unicorns this coming Saturday!

At the same time, the Bombshells will be looking to build on their win when they play the Coonamble Bears who, si m i l a r t o Gi lga nd ra , are also searching for

their first victory for the season.

The Baradine Magpies can expect few favours when they travel down t o G u l g o n g t o m i x it with the Terriers in the remaining game!

Coonabarabran Kookas pile on points again For third week in a row the Kookaburras have scored more than 60 points in a game.

RUGBY UNION L a s t S at u r d ay wa s Molong’s turn to do all they could to stop this very talented local team, however, they were no match and, apart from their scrum, which got the push on at various stages, they were well beaten in all aspects of the game 73-7.

The incredible fact is that, in the last three games, Coonabarabran has now scored 237 points to 19 against.

The Magpies, last year’s joint premiers, have lost a lot of key players since last year’s thrilling grand final with Coonabarabran and arrived with the bare minimum 15 players.

This was never going to be enough. While the Kookas had seven players away through injury and for personal reasons, they still had enough depth to have six players sit on the bench.

T he 11 tries to Coonabarabran was not long getting started, with

the much-improved and confident Matt Walton scor ing in the f i rst minutes, followed soon after by Brent Morrissey.

Molong got one back soon after to give them some confidence following nine or 10 phases of play in the Kookas’ 22-metre line.

A half time score of 56 -7 would suggest that Molong had no answers.

A special performance

by H a r r y W i l loug hby in only his second game was a highlight. Harry, whose first love is cricket, is blessed with wonderful sa fe hands and has l ightn i ng qu ick speed and he stood out as rising star of the team. Harry played at fullback and cut the Molong defence apart every time he got the ball. It will be long remembered his 50-metre r un from centre f ield.

With the Molong defence crowding him in the corner he pulled out a brilliant in-field banana kick for Sam Wilson to regather and score the first of his three tries.

John Milgate is becoming a real nuisance to the opposition as he often f inds himself on the wing after five or six phases; some would call it sea-gulling, but others, including John, would call it smart positional play and it bagged him two more tries again this week when standing on the wing.

Nick W ham, Luke Michael and Darcy Clifton never fail to put in a good game and also scored tries.

Fol l ow i n g s h ou ld e r su r ger y, Tom R e dden made his long-awaited return to the field in the second half and showed he has lost none of his silky skills.

Stu Thomas refereed the game and, as always, has g reat presence on the field and the players responded with clean and open rugby P r obably the most pleasing aspect of the game was seeing the results of the work the Kookaburras have done this year at clearing breakdown, and

Molong, try as they might, were not able to steal any of our ball.

This year, the Kookas’ team don’t seem to lose any of their structure as the score grows. Their penalty count is also well down as is their great respect for the referee, and great sportsmanship shown to the opposition during and after the game.

Sam Cl i f t on spoke highly and encouragingly of Molong during the aftergame speeches at the pub, especially their prop Josh Gav i n , who played on bravely despite carrying a b out t h r e e s ep a r at e injuries; he deservedly won their three points.

This week’s game will be against the Geur ie Goats, and will be played at Apex Oval in Dubbo, commencing 7.30pm on Friday night. This should be a thrill for players and supporters with, I am sure, a Vegas night to follow.

T he game will be broadcast live through WCR-FM from 7.30pm.

LADIES’ GOLF A happy group of ladies competed in the stableford event at the Coonabarabran Golf Club, each one trying their best to win the coveted trophy donated

by Rhonda Jewiss of Prezzies gift shop.

Our pocket-rocket, Judy Williams, came out on top with a good score of 37 points, with Cis Bruce snapping at her heels – 36 points. Judy also played a brilliant shot to the 12th green that rolled up and fell into the hole giving Judy a stunning ‘gobbler’.

We sincerely thank Rhonda for her generosity and continuing support of the lady golfers.

There were no starters for the Saturday game, with players away on holidays, sick leave and work commitments.

Saturday 20th and Wednesday 24th – a par, round two, sponsored by the Vallette family. Results in next week’s Times.

Saturday 27th – a stableford event, playing for a club voucher. Monday 29th – pennants, round three, Coonabarabran v Moree 2 at Narrabri. Wednesday 31st, Saturday, 3rd June – medal, round three, sponsored by Davidson Cameron & Co. Tuesday 6th to Thursday 8th – N & NW LGA Tournament at Gunnedah. Saturday 24th – Ladies Foursome Championships.

Humour The commanding officer was furious when nine soldiers who had been out on leave failed to show up for morning roll call. Not until 7pm did the first man straggle in.

“I am sorry, sir,” the soldier explained, “but I had a date and lost track of the time and missed the bus back. Being determined to get in on time, I took a taxi. Halfway here the taxi broke down. I went to a farmhouse and persuaded the farmer to sell me a horse. I was riding to camp when the animal fell over dead. I walked the last 15 kilometres and just got here.”

Though sceptical, the colonel let the young man off with a reprimand. However, after him, seven other stragglers in a row came in with the same story – had a date, missed the bus, took a taxi, bought a horse, etc. By the time the ninth man reported in, the colonel had grown weary of it.

“Okay,” he growled, “now what happened to you?”

“Sir, I had this date and missed the bus back, so I took a taxi...”

“Wait!” the colonel screeched at him “Don’t tell me the taxi broke down.”

“No, sir,” replied the soldier. “The taxi didn’t break down. It was just that there were so many dead horses on the road, we had trouble getting through.”

Teenage horse whisperer A Coonabarabran teenager is slowly making a name for himself as an accomplished horse whisperer.

by CHRIS WARD Lachlan McGill grew his passion for the equine i n d u s t r y f ro m a ve r y young age.

He spent his early years growing up on a cattle station in Queensland before his family moved to Coonabarabran when he was 10 years old.

Fast for ward to

t h e p re s e nt a n d t h e youngster has just ret u r n e d h o m e f ro m a d r e a m t r i p to t h e United States, where he teamed up with stock horse ambassador Guy McLean, assisting with the breaking in of horses a n d p re p a r i n g t h e m for roping and different disciplines.

Lachlan worked horses

for Priefert for a month in Mt Pleasant, Texas. His first show was the World Horse Expo in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

“A l ot of them had n eve r b e e n r i d d e n ,” Lachlan said. “ It takes a lot of understanding of horses and you’ve got to have a gentle nature.

“You’ll never win in a

fight with a 500-kilogram horse, so you’ve got to have a soft touch.

“I loved it. It was an awesome experience.”

And while his stint in the States is over, Lachlan said the invitation is there for him to return at the end of the year.

Meanwhile, he will turn his attention to his own McGill Equestrian team

of horses.

“I have five campaigning and four coming th rough the ranks at the moment,’ Lachlan said. “ S o I ’l l b e wo r k i n g on my own horses and doing shows in the area and working towards the

Royal Queensland Show in August.”

Lachlan said he would eventually like to turn his focus to track thoroughbreds and ex racehorses to re-educate and re-home them. “ T h e re’s a b i t of a problem there with ex

racehorses when they are retired and at the end of thei r racing careers,” he explained.

“I’d prefer to see them re-educated and go on to other careers, rather t h a n w h a t t h e ot h e r option for them is.”

Success dished up at Moree on a Plate MOREE Thousands of people turned out to soak up spectacular autumn weather while enjoying the regional produce showcased at Moree on a Plate.

Organisers have been buoyed by the success of this year’s festival which was a hit with both attendees and producers.

Committee member Georgie Poole said attendance numbers had been consistent in recent years, typically drawing a crowd between 4000 and 5000 people.

“This year was another really successful festival with great numbers of visitors and tourists to the region,” she told the North Western Guide.

“The weather was perfect and set the atmosphere.”

This year, the committee was thrilled to welcome acclaimed chef Christine Manfield who conducted cooking demonstrations throughout the day while making perfect use of local produce.

Food and fun at Moree on a Plate Continued from front page

Christine’s addition as the guest-of-honour at this year’s festival was welcomed by attendees who packed the undercover area to enjoy her cooking demonstrations.

“We always enjoy sourcing different chefs who have a diverse range of skills,” Georgie said.

Christine added her own flair to the festivities, with her love of spices and flavour, particularly native and regional produce.

Producers were also pleased with the outcome of the day, and Georgie said the committee had received positive feedback.

She said some producers reported that Moree on a Plate is their best sales day, even above other bigger regional festivals.

“Moree people take the opportunity to stock up,” she said.

“It’s a really wonderful day for the producers as well as the community.

“It’s a great opportunity to celebrate the food and agri-identity of the North West Plains.”

Feedback from attendees has also been glowing, with

responses so far indicating people enjoy the food, produce and community spirit on offer at Moree on a Plate.

At the celebration of regional produce, all eyes were again on the Mixed Grill BBQ competition.

The grand prize of a Weber was again up for grabs as four teams battled it out to wow the panel of judges.

Teams this year consisted of Nicola Long and Zeb Chapman (AFF), Jack O’Shannessy and Ben Morris (Irritek), Luan Nguyen and Antonio Lopez Gomez (Fulton Hogan) and Emily Hunt and Gina Phelps (Brooker Trading Co).

The AFF team impressed the judges with their delicious duck dish named the judges’ choice and overall winner.

Christine, who served as one of the judges, said the team had clearly thought about the combination of flavours to go with the meat.

Brooker Trading Co received rapturous applause for their beef taco dish and was awarded people’s choice.

teams was held with the aim of shining a spotlight on mental health. Both communities have faced tragedy in the recent years, losing loved community members to suicide.

The devastation felt across the region has prompted action to

support community members with their mental health.

The derby day was held in conjunction with Australian Food and Fibre and Rural and Remote Mental Health.

Moree Bulls typically hold a mental health awareness game at their

first home match of the season, and it’s an initiative Moree Rugby Union Club president David Watts would like to see run across the competition.

“It’s gaining momentum every year,” Mr Watts said.

Following talks with Narrabri

Rugby Club president Mick Coffey, Mr Watts said the two teams will run the same initiative when the Bulls travel south to play against the Blue Boars later in the season.

The issue of mental issue is greater than club differences and rivalries, he said. Continued on page 3

Two new EV charging stations for Moree Moree will once again cement itself as a tourist hotspot following an announcement that two new electric vehicle charging stations will be installed in the town.

The announcement was made by Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall who said the $9668 NSW Electric Vehicle Destination Grant had been provided to Moree Plains Shire Council to add two additional charging stations in the community to cater for increased numbers of motorists with EVs traveling up and down the Newell Highway.

“The aim is to entice more of the growing numbers of tourists driving electric vehicles to stop in Moree for a break and hopefully to

stay a day or two – utilising these new charging stations,” Mr Marshall said.

“With the addition of these two new stations, Moree will have a total of three public EV charging points, with the existing one in the public carpark near Coles Supermarket.

“This puts Moree well in front of most rural communities catering for those driving EVs, which makes sense given its prime location along the Newell – one of the busiest stretches of road in the whole State.”

Mr Marshall said Moree Plains Shire Council would now work on determining the two locations where the charging stations would

be placed, keeping in mind the need for spots easy to access and close to the centre of town.

“Motorists will be able to stop off, plug in and recharge their vehicles in an easy and hassle-free way,” Mr Marshall said.

“While they wait for their vehicle to charge, travellers will be able to stroll down through the CBD and spend some time in some of the wonderful shops and cafes.

“We want people to stop off or stay over in Moree, allowing them to explore the town while charging their EV, helping fuel local investment and job creation.”

Mr Marshall congratulated council on securing the funds and having a clear vision for making

The Moree announcement came as another North West community unveiled an electric vehicle charger.

Narrabri-based not-for-profit renewable energy consultants Geni.Energy officially launched a charging station at Barwan Street, Narrabri, in a partnership with Italian solar Tec company Fimer and the new offices of Tiemens

Creative and Harvey IT. Geni.Energy’s managing director Sally Hunter said EVs are the future of transport and regional areas like Narrabri could really benefit from these charging stations.

“The demand for EV charging docks in Narrabri is growing, especially for tourists who are passing through,” she said.

“We don’t want them detouring their journey because they can’t charge their cars in town.”

Peach & Passionfruit Tart

Preparation 25 min + resting & cooling time Cooking 30 min | Serves 6 INGREDIENTS 1½ cups plain flour 100g butter, chilled and cubed 2/3 cup caster sugar 1/3 cup chilled water 1 egg white, lightly whisked ½ cup almond meal 750g (about 4 large) just-ripe peaches, stone removed and cut into 1.5cm-thick slices To serve: 3 passionfruit, pulp removed Icing sugar, for dusting Greek-style natural yoghurt or whipped cream STEP 1 To make pastry, place flour, butter and 1/3 cup caster sugar in a food processor. Process until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Add chilled water and process until mixture comes together into a ball. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.

STEP 2 Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Roll pastry out between 2 sheets of baking paper to form a 30cm circle. Place pastry onto prepared tray.

Lightly brush with egg white and sprinkle with almond meal.

STEP 3 Combine peaches and 2 tbs caster sugar in a bowl. Toss to combine. Arrange peaches over pastry leaving a 6cm border around the edge. Fold pastry border over peaches, leaving centre peaches exposed. Brush pastry with egg white and sprinkle with remaining 2 tbs caster sugar. Bake tart for 30-35 minutes until pastry is crisp and pale golden. Set aside to cool for 15 minutes.

STEP 4 To serve, drizzle with passionfruit. Dust with icing sugar. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature with yoghurt or whipped cream.
