Upcoming swim season set to make a splash After a disjointed pool season in 2022, this summer might provide some much-needed relief for residents as Warrumbungle Shire Council considers reducing fees or offering free pool entry to attract swimmers.

by JIMMY WHALAN Council is taking a more p roactive app roach to increasing pool usage this year, with new initiatives to extend pool opening hours and increase user numbers across the Shire.

Wa r r umbung le Shi re Council mayor, Cr Ambrose Doolan said there would be a workshop held in the coming weeks to address the “worrying decline” in pool usage.

The workshop will focus on strategies to help increase patronage at each of the Shire’s six pools.

Reduced entry costs Cr Doolan said one such strategy could be to lower pool entry fees or potentially make entry free to all users.

“Councillor Todd suggested a season ticket should be around $5 to $10, or whatever the cost of the card is to let yourself in,” Cr Doolan said.

“Deputy mayor, councillor Iannuzzi then said that seeing as Council only took $57,000

in entry fees last year across six pools, what would be the implications if they made pool entry free?

“Council already chips in $540,000 a year to keep the pools open, and we want to encourage use of our local pools because swimming helps to keep your body healthy - for everyone, young and old.”

There is no end to the benefits free pool entry could bring to the Shire, with Cr Doolan saying it could help to address issues including youth crime rates, obesity, and mental health.

“Swimming at the local pool gives kids something to do that’s constructive, keeps them healthy and keeps them out of trouble,” he said.

“We’ll see where it lands after the workshop and after proposals get voted on, but I think it’s a good idea to make it free so that we can encourage more people to get out and be healthy.”

Rotary welcomes new president The Rotary Club of Coonabarabran has begun its new year with incoming president Russ James taking over the leadership role from retiring president, Michael Deep.

T he annual R otary C h a n g e o v e r d i n n e r, t h i s ye a r held on 8 July, is always a time for celebration a nd reflection. It marks the end of one president’s year, with the chance to congratulate and thank everyone for their hard work.

But it also announces the beginning of the next president’s year, with all the anticipation that might bring regarding potentially new ideas and new ways of doing things.

MC on the night was young Rotarian Daniel James, who handled the responsibility admirably.

Daniel brought a welcome youthfulness to the occasion, along with a relaxed style that everyone enjoyed.

Special guest was Past District Governor Brian Beesley, and Heather, from Gloucester. Brian was his usual bright and breezy self, contributing to the relaxed approach to the proceedings.

Councillor Jason Newton toasted Rotary International, praising some of the achievements of the organisation over t he ye a r s , a nd c lu b treasurer John Sawyer gave an account of the club’s very special Oak Foundation, its goals a nd ach ievements t o date. This foundation is unique to our club, contributed to by several local businessmen and desig ned to help local people, especially children who need some financial support.

R etir ing president, Michael Deep gave his comprehensive report on the work undertaken by the club in 2022-23, and then representatives from some of the community groups who have been supported by Rotary accepted their cheques.

A total of $45,000 was raised and distributed by the club this year.

In responding on behalf of a l l of them , M at t Revelly, from Baradine, spoke about his family’s experiences at Macquarie Homestay in Dubbo. Coona Rotary has committed to furnishing one of the new u n it s c u r r ent ly under construction.

H igh l ights of the night were the special presentations – firstly, two Community Service Awards to our v e r y i mp o r t a nt a nd i m m e n s e ly v a lu a bl e Rowanne Cox and Trish Sawyer.

T he club’s catering would not be possible without R owanne, who does much of the ordering and organising for the barbecue trailer, and Trish, who has been

a stalwart of the Rotary bookshop.

In her response, Trish talked about how much she loves the shop, and what a thrill she gets whenever she locates a book requested by a customer.

A nother special presentation was the award of a Paul Harris Fel lowsh ip t o K ev i n Sharp to recognise the work he has done for the North West Equestrian Expo over the years.

Named a fter the f o u n d e r o f R o t a r y, a Pau l H a r r i s i s a n acknowledgement of the donation of $US1,000 to the Rotary Foundation.

On this occasion, the donation was from the c lu b memb er s . C lu b member Jo Wilkin was also honoured in this way during the evening.

F i n a l ly, pr e s ide nt Michael handed over to president Russ in style, and Russ gave us an introduction to his goals for the year with all of his usual enthusiasm and positivity. He introduced the incoming board who will assist him with his plans, and spoke about the impact potential of the theme for the coming year – ‘Create Hope in the World’.

Backpacker ban – an economic mistake?

The cost of the Working Holiday Maker visa has jumped, leaving backpackers tightening their bumbags and creating a potential economic impact that could leave regional towns struggling.

by GEORGIA SPENCE At the beg inning of Ju ly, the Work i ng Holiday Maker (WHM) i ncreased $13 0 - a massive 25 per cent rise.

The visa now carries the highest fees of its kind globally at $640.

The WHM program, wh ich i ncludes two different types of visas, allows young adults from more than 40 partner countries to spend 12 months in Australia to work or study. They can also apply for a second and third year visa.

T he v isa cu r rently requires backpackers t o w o r k r e g i o n a l l y, encouraging them to work in cr ucia l industries, while creating localised economic growth.

T he G overnment is now consider ing removing the regional work requi rements and cutting the visa to allow only one year in Australia.

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton said WHM visa holders made up 80 per cent of the harvest labour force in horticulture.

He said he understood backpackers had a la rge impact on r u r a l c o m mu n i t i e s , contributing $3 billion to the economy through spending and working in essential industries.

T he increased cost of the WHM visa could paint Australia as a less desirable country for travellers, a sentiment echoed by local business owner, Maria Rickert, from Pilliga Pottery.

The business relies on backpackers to aid i n the upkeep of the property.

M r s R icker t op ened her pr op er t y to backpackers and ‘ W WOOFers’ ( p a r t i c i p a n t s o f Wo rld w id e Opportunities on Organic Farm) 15 years ago. Now, backpackers make up a third of her employees.

Over a 38-hour week, backpackers working at the Pottery are involved in the upkeep of roads, fence picketi ng, dam maintenance and more.

B ack packer s a l low businesses to tap into a constant workforce, allowing them to

extend trading hours – an advantage to the rural workforce and the economy.

P o t t e r y backpackers travel i nt o C o onaba rabra n , exploring the township and the services provided.

“It is important for the community to have an influx of youth coming here from overseas, as they spread culture and are only of benefit to the community,” M rs Rickert said.

R eg i na F r itz has experienced travelling from overseas to work in Australia and is now a pa r t ner at P i l l iga Pottery.

M s F r it z s a id t he Pot t er y wa s a l r e ady limited in f inding workers due to being a 30-minute drive from Coonabarabran. “ People who rea l ly believe in our cause, come from town to work long-term,” she said.

Due regional access restr ictions, backpackers can not work in hospitality for their secondary visa in Coonabarabran.

However, Coonamble

and Ba rad ine do not have these restrictions. “ I f a ny th i ng, we need more incentive for people to come here,” Ms Fritz said.

Cool news for the pool FROM FRONT Another suggestion to help draw more people to the pool was allowing coffee floats to set up outside the pool areas for free.

“These are the sorts of things we are going to weigh up at the workshop in the coming weeks,” Cr Doolan said.

“Council welcomes submissions from the community about what they think we could do to get more people in the pool.”

Fees and charges Although reduced entry fees or free entry to Shire-managed pools is on the table, the decision is not guaranteed.

If these changes do not go ahead, pool entry costs will increase across the board, as listed on Warrumbungle Shire Council’s fees and charges.

Due to inflation, most entry fees and season ticket prices will rise by at least five per cent.

The smallest increase was on casual entry, which will rise 4.6 per cent from $4.20 to $4.40 per person, while the largest increase will see the half-season ticket jump from $72.50 to $76.50 per person - a 5.52 per cent increase.

However, the provision of a more affordable four-week season ticket

for individuals and families will be offered for the first time this year, after Council received community feedback requesting a shorter season ticket option.

“There are people who are here for a short time over the summer, so the four-week season ticket is a more cost-effective option for people who will only be using the pool within a shorter time frame,” Cr Doolan said.

This year, there has also been the introduction of a new ‘booking fee’ for groups, including schools, who wish to book out the pool for activities.

Cr Doolan said this new fee had also been the

result of price increases due to inflation, however, he mentioned strategies that were being considered to lighten the load on user groups.

“To make things easier, schools would pay a bond which is then repaid each time they use an oval or the pool.

“At the last meeting, Council resolved to amend the policy so that schools only have to pay one bond for the year and then they can use any Council facility, rather than how it is at the moment with the bond that voids after every use.”

Ongoing issues One of the reasons

Voice information pamphlets now available online After the submission of the formal ‘yes’ and ‘no’ cases for the Voice referendum later this year, the official pamphlet can now be accessed online.

by JIMMY WHALAN The cases were submitted on Monday, 17 July 2023 and can now be viewed on the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) website.

The pamphlets contain information about the referendum including a statement containing the proposed change to the constitution and the official ‘yes’ and ‘no’ cases.

T hough t he offici al pamphlet can now be accessed online, it will also be printed and sent out to all households as the referendum voting day

approaches.

The referendum is due to be held between September and December this year, however, the exact date has not yet been announced.

Among their arguments, the ‘yes’ case put forward eight reasons to vote in favour of the voice, while the ‘no’ case put forward 10 reasons to vote against the voice.

These reasons are listed briefly below; the full version can be read on the official pamphlet.

The ‘yes’ case 1. This idea came directly from Aboriginal

and Torres Strait Islander people.

2. Constitutional recognition for concrete results.

3. Ensure people have a better life.

4. Bring our country together.

5. Save money.

6. The time is now.

7. Practical advice that works.

8. Making government work better.

The ‘no’ case 1. This voice is legally risky.

2. There are no details.

3. It divides us.

4. It won’t help

Indigenous Australians.

5. No issue is beyond its scope.

6. It risks delays and dysfunctions.

7. It opens the door for activists.

8. It will be costly and bureaucratic.

9. This voice will be permanent.

10. There are better ways forward.

More information can be found on the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) website, where the official yes/no referendum pamphlets are displayed.

behind last year’s sporadic swim season in Coonabarabran was due to the overland flows from the showground flooding and contaminating the pool with dirt when it rained.

“Council just couldn’t get up there because it was too wet to get the machinery in there, but the hope is to see this issue resolved ahead of this year’s pool season,” Cr Doolan said.

“This year’s drier weather should allow for the appropriate machinery to enter the area and create a bank for the water to drain through.”

Another issue plaguing the 2022 swim season was chlorine levels.

Council voted in favour to spend $550,000 on bringing all of the electronics and pumps at the six pools across the Shire up to date, to allow for automatic doses of chlorine to the pools.

It is expected these systems will be ready to go for the upcoming swim season.

Not only will this keep the pool water cleaner, but if the systems are consistent across the Shire, it will make it easier for pool attendants

working across numerous pools.

In terms of pool attendants, Council is hoping to avoid a repeat of last year.

“We only had nine people covering six pools last year – and five of them were from Dunedoo,” Cr Doolan said.

“To avoid a situation similar to last year, Council is calling out for people to take on the job as a pool attendant to help keep our pools open for longer.”

“We really need some people to come forward, it’s a good job, it pays well, and Council will train you.

“Having more pool attendants will greatly help us keep the pools open for the scheduled times – nine just isn’t enough to cover the six pools across the shire.”

Moving forward After securing a $200,000 grant from the Resources for Regions program at the end of last year, Cr Doolan said this was a “vital first step” to being shovel-ready in time for further grant opportunities.

This funding will be used to develop a master plan for the pool, including a

recreation building and a new heated program.

The plan would also see a reduction in the pool length t o 25 met res, to accommodate a new learn-to-swim and exercise area, as well as widening of the pool to provide a full-length ramp for wheelchair accessibility.

This work is currently o u t t o t e n d e r. U p o n completion, the master plan will support further grant applications, helping transform the plans into reality.

Cr Doolan said that by potentially making pool entry free this swim season, the increased pool patronage would be a benefit to future grant applications for upgrades to the pool facilities, as this is one of the factors that would be taken into consideration.

“A lot of things get taken into account when applying for grants, for example, how long you’ve been trying to get the upgrades, pool usage – you need to demonstrate that it’s in the long-term plan, it’s in the budget, and that we’re serious about it.”

Weekly cattle and sheep market wrap • • •

Cow prices increased, while restocker prices continued to soften.

Increased activity from feeder buyers has supported a lift in prices week-on-week.

Sheep and lamb prices eased, with considerable variation between saleyards.

Cattle The cattle market was mixed this week, with processor and dairy cow prices rising. Feeder steer prices improved whereas heavy steers to processors eased slightly. Restocker prices continue to ease.

National yardings tightened 17% weekon-week to 40,661 head, with pronounced falls in volume across Queensland; Roma yardings fell by 4,275 head, Gracemere yardings fell by 2,052 head and Charters Towers fell by 1,110 head due to some rainfall conditions in supply areas. The only

sale in the state to post an increase in yardings was Dalby.

Cow prices performed well, with the processor cow rising 9¢/kg weekon-week and a softening in throughput. The Dairy Cow indicator rising 33¢/kg was the strongest improvement for the week. A tight supply of prime quality cattle at Leongatha, the largest contributor to the Dairy Cow indicator, helped support premium prices for cows with good finish.

The Feeder Steer indicator rose slightly from last week to 322¢/ kg, despite yardings increasing by more

than 900 head. Active feeder buyers at Blackall increased the competition for steers and heifers, supporting improvements in price.

Wagga Wagga cattle sale had a tightening of yardings but increased activity from feedlot buyers. The Heavy Steer indicator dropped slightly to 278¢/kg after a slight increase in yardings.

Restocker prices continued to ease, with the Restocker Yearling Heifer falling 7¢/kg week-on-week to 238¢/ kg and the Restocker Yearling Steer indicator falling 9¢/kg to 317¢/kg.

Similarly, the Eastern

Young Cattle indicator declined 11¢ over the week to 564¢/kg carcase weight (cwt). The feederover restocker dynamic continued, with feeder young cattle trading at 581¢/ kg and restocker young cattle trading at a 31¢ discount at 550¢/kg cwt.

Sheep Sheep prices softened this week as buyer activity was somewhat muted in key saleyards and supply remained high relative to historic levels.

Total yardings fell 14% week-on-week to 215,887 head. Of this, lamb yardings fell by 13% to 159,386 head,

while sheep yardings fell by 18% to 56,501 head.

The Trade Lamb indicator fell 40¢/kg week-on-week to 474¢/ kg, as buyer interest at larger saleyards, such as Wagga Wagga, was somewhat muted.

Buyers were present, but not all were active, with quality variations impacting demand.

Other indicators followed a similar pattern; the Heavy Lamb indicator fell by 29¢/kg to 480¢/kg, the Merino Lamb indicator fell by 59¢/kg to 339¢/ kg and the Mutton indicator fell by 75¢ to 2,570¢/kg. There was

considerable variation in mutton prices by saleyard; in Forbes, the Mutton indicator fell by 127¢ week-on-week with a large lift in numbers and mixed quality, while in Dubbo the indicator only fell 35¢ week-on-week and was flat month-on-month.

Quality at Dubbo drove buyers demand, as has been seen across the market.

Slaughter As discussed in MLA’s slaughter update article, slaughter numbers increased with the return of several processing plants from winter maintenance shutdown periods.

Cattle slaughter firmed slightly to 120,351 head, 30% above year-ago levels. An 11% uplift in NSW a slight fall in Queensland, with other states holding firm or strengthening slightly.

Lamb slaughter volumes softened 3% to 372,579 head, while sheep volumes more than doubled to 62,502 head. Most of the sheep slaughter increase was in NSW, which rose 148% from last week to 58,015. © Meat & Livestock Australia Limited, 2023

SPECIAL FEATURE: 175 YEARS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION

We’re celebrating education!

This week, NSW public schools commemorate Education Week, an annual celebration of teaching and learning in government schools.

Education Week holds an extra special significance this year as the NSW Department of Education mar k s 17 5 y e a r s o f p u b l i c

education – focusing on l ea r n i ng f ro m the past, celebrating achievements, and embracing the future with confidence.

Education secretary, Murat Dizdar said Ed ucati on Week had been a highlight of the NSW public education ca l e n d a r fo r ove r 6 0

years. “ E d u cat i o n We e k celebrates the excellence that occurs every day in our 95,000 classrooms – the

a ch i eve m e nt s of o u r students, teachers and schoo l s taf f, and the support of our parents, carers, and school communities,” he said.

In celebration of Education Week, t h e Co o n a b a r a b r a n Times spoke to several local school teachers about how they were

i nspi red to become t e a c h e r s a n d a s ke d what were some of the most rewa rding pa r ts about their job as public educators.

Georgia Parkinson Coonabarabran Public School

Deputy Secretary from the Department of Education, Cathy Brennan, visited Coonabarabran High School on Tuesday, 1 August, as part of Education Week celebrations. A highlight of Ms Brennan’s tour of the school was morning tea at the school’s Breadknife Cafe, run by D7 staff and students.

6 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 3rd August 2023

What was your favourite subject when you were in school?

Music.

Where did you train to become a teacher? University of Newcastle.

SPECIAL FEATURE: 175 YEARS OF PUBLIC EDUCATION

Kellie Nash Coonabarabran High School

How did you get into teaching? Were there any teachers or role models that inspired you? I think most of us have fond memories of those teachers who had a big impact on our learning and understood us; for me, it was a teacher librarian who encouraged me to engage with literature beyond the curriculum and opened my eyes to novels and genres I never would have discovered on my own.

What was your favourite subject when you were in school?

When I was at school I loved history because of the stories and fascinating people that have lived before me.

Where did you train to become a teacher? My first teaching qualification was at Sydney University in the early 2000s. Like many teachers, I did most of my professional learning on the job.

What’s the most rewarding part of your job? I think for any teacher, our greatest sense of reward comes from making a positive impact in the lives of our children.

What’s your top-secret teacher trick? I wish there was a magic trick, but over the years I’ve learned that nothing substitutes knowing your individual students, knowing how they learn and establishing a good working relationship. This can take a long time and even more patience and is not something you’re likely to achieve on day one.

What can parents do to help their children thrive in the classroom? I think the two most important things you can do to ensure your children thrive in the classroom is to help them understand the relationship between academic success and having more options in life post school, and reading with your children to help them form the necessary literacy skills to learn about whatever they are interested in How do you keep your students engaged in your lessons? This can be a real challenge in teaching and we use a range of strategies to engage our students who learn best in multiple ways. Using a mix of instructional approaches such as direct instruction and cooperative learning and ensuring that students have opportunities to engage their way with the learning – whether it’s expressing their learning practically, by speaking and listening, or by reading and writing.

What are some traditions or superstitions you have for the first

Ben Jackson Coonabarabran High School

How did you get into teaching? Were there any teachers or role models that inspired you? I did have a lot of good teachers throughout my schooling. Two, especially, made me think about being a teacher.

What was your favourite subject when you were in school?

Geography.

Where did you train to become a teacher? UNE in Armidale to be a teacher and a Masters through CSU in Wagga to be a teacher librarian.

What’s the most rewarding part of your job? When you teach in a high school, you have the privilege of seeing young people in Year 7 grow into young adults by the time they leave school.

It is also really rewarding when you see a student’s super power – everyone has one, but you are not always at the right place at the right time.

What’s your top-secret teacher trick? I did not like my children getting Freddos at school (they loved it). I think parents should be making the sugar decision. I would like to hear of some good tricks I could use.

What can parents do to help their children thrive in the classroom? Love them, feed them, read to them and give them books to read and be interested in their interests and friends. Regard school as part of your child’s team.

How do you keep your students engaged in your lessons?

I try to vary what we do in the class or how it is presented.

Sometimes the things you do in life are not always engaging to everyone and you have to learn to take responsibility and just get it done.

day of school? There's no substitute for preparation. As teachers, we often become time-poor once the term begins. Therefore, I make the most of the break between terms to plan thoroughly on what to teach, how to teach it, and how the lessons can connect and complement each other.

Has technology made teaching more efficient or is chalk and blackboard best? Technology has given us more options for how we teach and the mediums we teach. I believe that as teachers we have a responsibility to teach children to thrive in the world they will inherit and not necessarily the world we grew up in. So embracing new technology whilst continuing to keep the best practices from the past is a balancing act that teachers strive to get right.

What’s your go-to lunch from the canteen? My go-to would have to be coffee, often there simply isn’t enough time in a school day to sit down and eat a meal.

Do you hope to inspire your students to take on a career teaching? Absolutely! I believe individuals who derive fulfilment from helping others succeed. Those with a deep understanding and love for their academic discipline, strong communication skills and resilience, make for fantastic teachers. I would warmly welcome such individuals to the profession.

What’s one thing you wish people knew about teaching? Many people already acknowledge that teaching is a multifaceted and challenging role. However, I wish more people understood the growing complexity involved in balancing students’ needs and their optimal modes of learning. There truly is no end to the work you can put into a lesson, a particular student or your professional development – it is up to the practitioner to decide where to draw the line and how they should prioritise their time for the best results.

What does Education Week mean to you? For me, Education Week is a time for self-reflection on my teaching practices. It’s also a celebration of the dedication and commitment of all our partners in schools – our SLSO’s, administrators, parents, counsellors, and leaders – who make it possible for us to do our jobs effectively.

How did you get into teaching? Were there any teachers or role models that inspired you? I tried heaps of other jobs and hated all of them. However, I really enjoyed coaching debating – and teaching seemed the closest way to turn that into a profession that I could find. I chose maths, in part, because of my HSC mathematics teacher, Alexandrie Davyskib, who had fled Russia in the early 90’s to come here and complete a PhD, and who turned me from an apathetic and unsuccessful student into a long-time fan of the subject.

What was your favourite subject when you were in school?

Economics was my favourite in the HSC, and before that, probably history or English.

Where did you train to become a teacher? Macquarie University.

What’s the most rewarding part of your job? When a student comes to understand something they’d really struggled with – we often call these ‘lightbulb moments’.

What’s your top-secret teacher trick? Not a lot of tricks, I’m afraid – I like to play games (Chess, Connect 4) if everyone gets through their work ahead of time.

What can parents do to help their children thrive in the classroom? Never say that school doesn’t matter. When parents tell their kids a subject doesn’t matter, they’re giving their kid permission to slack off- which, regardless of the actual value of any particular lesson, is a disastrous behaviour to encourage.

How do you keep your students engaged in your lessons? I try to minimise my talking up the front, encourage as many questions as possible, and encourage as much group work as

What are some traditions or superstitions you have for the first day of school? Pack my school bag the day before and have a good breakfast.

Has technology made teaching more efficient or is chalk and blackboard best? It is always good to have a board to write on in case the technology is not co-operative, however, technology has changed the classroom experience for students for the better.

What’s your go to lunch from the canteen? I have always liked the name of the Sandwich of Awesomeness and the McFozz, but I love the colours and taste of a chicken salad sandwich on grainy bread.

Do you hope to inspire your students to take on a career teaching? I like to ask students what they are interested in because I love the variety of what they say. I often wish a particular job was around when I was at school or at uni. It is best to find a career that interests you or suits your life at the time.

What’s one thing you wish people knew about teaching?

Teachers want all students to grow up to be happy, even though they may not see the relevance of many of the lessons on the way. We don’t know how much the world will change.

What does Education Week mean to you? It is a cliché – every week is Education Week. The one I have the clearest memory of is from the one-teacher primary school I went to. Parents were watching us being taught. The whole group messed up.

Everyone laughed and it was a good day.

Stephen Cordwell Coonabarabran High School

possible. Beyond that, I like to give students a break if they’ve worked well – let them recharge and come back ready to focus again.

What are some traditions or superstitions you have for the first day of school? Sadly nothing – the first day back is chaotic enough, and there’s no room for ritual or tradition!

Has technology made teaching more efficient or is chalk and blackboard best? I like to use technology to reach students who might miss a lesson, or who might want a bit extra/harder work. With that said, plenty of the other teachers in my staff room barely touch the computer, and I don’t feel like one approach is better than any other.

What’s your go to lunch from the canteen? Beef and salad sandwich.

Do you hope to inspire your students to take on a career teaching? I do think it’s nice whenever a student wants to be a teacher, but, honestly, I mostly just want them to pursue careers that will leave them fulfilled. Teaching is an amazing job, but it’s not for everyone!

What’s one thing you wish people knew about teaching? If I had to pick just one, it’s that we are on the same team as parents. We are committed to your children’s learning, we are committed to your children’s wellbeing, and as a result we are very enthusiastic about working with parents to get the best outcomes for students.

What does Education Week mean to you? It’s a nice opportunity for the community to celebrate the huge range of opportunities presented to students in Australian schools, and to celebrate the hard work of students and staff.

IN FOCUS: WHAT’S UP WITH THE WEATHER?

El Niño remains in question After the world’s hottest week on record in the northern hemisphere, the United Nations has declared a global El Niño. Australia is yet to confirm due to discrepancies amongst weather agencies.

by GEORGIA SPENCE T h e c l i m a t e eve n t h a s b e e n co n f i r m e d by co u nt r i es s uch a s the United States and global forecasting agencies, including the Wor ld Meteorological Organisation.

Despite the agreement of an El Niño globally, Au s t ra l i a’s B u rea u of Meteorology (BoM) has not issued a statement of confirmation.

Climate scientist and a s s o c i a t e p r o f e s s o r, Andrea Taschetto from University of NSW Science and Cl imate Change Research Centre,

explained the issues in declaring El Niño.

Sh e i d e nt i f i ed h ow confirming an El Niño event requi res the Australian BoM to analyse and measure a persistent number of metrics such as water temperatures and cloud cover.

“The Bureau of Meteo ro l og y h a s n ot d ecl a red E l N i ñ o yet b e ca u s e o n e o f t h e metrics is not behaving i n the way we would expect a classic El Niño to,” Ms Taschetto said.

“The pressure difference is linked to the weakening of trade

winds, which is a key metric for measuring El Niño.”

An El Niño is the warm phase of a natural cycle happening every three to seven years through the tropical Pacific.

N o r m a l l y, “ t r a d e ” winds blow from South Amer ica to Austral ia, piling up warm water a round Austral ia and keeping the cold water close to South America.

“During an El Niño eve nt, t ra d e w i n d s that blow east to west weaken. This leads to less water being pushed to Au s t ra l i a a n d l es s upwelling of water near

S o u t h A m e r i ca ,” M r s Taschetto said.

This means, the central and east Pacific wa r m s up mo re than a nt i ci pated, ca us i n g a shift in “atmospheric circulation”.

This impacts Australia as the thunde r sto r ms and rainfall associated with the north of Australia move to the central Pacific, leaving drier conditions.

Less rainfall brings an i n c rea sed ch a n ce i n droughts.

On farm Callen Thompson i s a co n s u l ta nt f r o m AgSTAR Projects based

in Coonabarabran and said drought could occur with, or without an El Niño.

He acknowledges the l ack of ra i nfa l l i s affecting the moisture in the soil, meaning crops are lacking in nutrients, as rainfall drives plant growth.

“A l rea d y th e re a re some producers looking at low dam levels and paddocks not having the moisture in them they would like,” Mr Thompson said.

He recommends producer s audit thei r fa r m s , a s s e s s i n g s o i l moisture, feed in both

paddocks and storage, f inancial resources, infrastructures and water levels.

“Once farmers have assessed what resources they have, they can start setting objectives,” Mr Thompson said.

The National Ocean Service note that El Niño and La Niña are natural cycles within the climate system and are unrelated to climate change.

The way the cycles manifest in the future m a y va r y f ro m w h at fo recasti ng agencies are used to, due to the warming of the Earth’s temperature,

“There are few studies showing extreme El Niño and La Niña events can become more frequent in the future, due to the increase in greenhouse gasses,” Mrs Taschetto said.

It i s reco m m end ed to stay info r med and prepare where you can.

For producers worried about d rought, Local Land Ser vices has an agricultural department aiding in strategies to support farmers.

NSW also has resources on its Depa r tment of Primary Industries website.

YOUR SAY: Have you noticed any big changes in the weather?

Ron Frazer: “I reckon it’s changed for sure.”

Sally Canham: “They [the government] are doing their best to help the environment. They have a lot of obstacles in their way.”

Nathan Unicomb and Michael White: “Not really, I think we have had some nice days.”

Chloe Jakins and Jed Cooper: “We think it has been a hotter winter.”

Alex Anderson: “I can’t say I have noticed anything for sure.”

Margaret Fleck: “Crops are not getting the finish they need due to high heats in the drought to flooding. It was unusual to see fish in the crops.”

IN FOCUS: WHAT’S UP WITH THE WEATHER?

Airport vs town: why is Coona’s weather is so variable?

As many of you would know, the weather in Coonabarabran measured from the airport is often very different to the conditions in town – but local weather enthusiast, Rob Dean has an explanation and a way you can get more accurate weather readings at the click of a button!

by JIMMY WHALAN Mr Dean explained the need to have Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) at airports as an “aid to aviation.”

“As a pilot, you need to know what the weather conditions are at the point you want to land,” he said.

“You need to know the wind, ba rometr ic pressure, rainfall, and the temperature – these things determine how you configure the aeroplane to land and which airstrip you would use.”

In most cases, data co l l ected at a i r po r t s can also be used fo r t h e a d j a ce nt tow n s , providing the airport was not very far away and at the same altitude.

But, of course, Coonabarabran is the odd one out.

With the local airport located 10 kilometres from town and with a difference in altitude of around 140 metres, the weather data collected a t t h e a i r p o r t o f te n

doesn’t quite match the conditions in town.

“Particularly on a still, clear night, an inversion layer will form at a level above the airport, which traps the warm air at the height of the airport and mak ing the recorded te m p e rat u re wa r m e r than it is in town,” Mr Dean said.

“Normally, you would think the higher you go, for example on a mountain, the colde r it gets. I n general, this is true, but the inversion layers can make the airport warmer than in town.”

Unfortunately, there is no AWS in town, which Mr Dean said was due to the high cost.

“Plus, electronic stations tend to require a lot more calibration, while the manual ones require none – if it ain’t broke!”

Speaking of manual weather readings, did you know that weather data is also recorded r ight he re i n town at the Coonaba rab ran Showg round fo r the Bureau of Meteorology

(BoM)?

Recorded at the back of the 2WCR-FM radio s tat i on, the read i ng s are recorded manually

by Mr Dean and other vo l untee r s on beha l f of the BoM to provide daily maximum and minimum temperatures, but he has also used these instruments to provide accurate, automatic, real-time weather on the 2WCR-FM website.

“A couple years ago, I decided to build our own weather station that I could calibrate to make the readings the same as the BoM instruments,” Mr Dean said.

“The readings it gives are as close as possible to what the actual readings are on the BoM thermometers and are updated on the website every 10 to 15 minutes.”

These weather readings f rom i n tow n can be accessed at the 2WCRFM website (2wcrfm.org. au) – just click the blue button at the top of the screen that reads ‘local live weather.’

The weather station, built by Rob Dean, is used to record daily temperatures in Coonabarabran.

We were all happy to return for term three and catch up w ith ou r f r iends after the holidays. It was very exciting to discover that we have had a special visitor at preschool during the school holidays, with an echidna hole now in our playground with evidence of where an ant’s nest once was.

We’re not sure if this visitor will come back, but we hope so. We have placed our garden echidna near the hole to try and encourage him and let him know that we would happily welcome him back.

This has sparked some i nteresti ng and rather in-depth discussions, with the children discovering that echid nas li ke the quiet as they are shy, and also some questions around the p o s sibi l it y of h i m visiting either of the two large ant nests that we’ve discovered du r ing ou r Bush Preschool walks. They are not that far from our playground. We will investigate this during our next Bush Preschool day as we were ‘rained out’ last week!

Friends have again enjoyed play i ng together on the mat, with lots of farming games and the dressups, as well as intrigue and curiosity with our latest ‘egg growing experiment’, with the children sharing their ideas and thoughts about what w i l l happen (and g row) from our new ‘magic eggs’ experiment that

R epr e s ent at ive s f rom each school delivered their t h o u g h t f u l presentations, outlining their plans and ideas to address

our wonderful new picn ic table a nd chair sets, made and delivered by Adam Gi lmour. We have loved using these for our activities outside and for our picnics.

We look forward to using these at our special morning tea with our families on Grandparents and Friends Day too.

Miss Shannon had a great holiday recently and brought back a crocodile skull for us t o a l l lo ok at, as well as some crocodile eggs. The children have been very intrigued with these items and were amazed at how differently the baby crocodiles hatched compared to the way our chickens hatched.

We h ave h ad a great time with our chickens outside – even the cheeky ones that have managed to

hop up onto the veggie gardens for a munch.

Luckily, they haven’t eaten all of our snow peas and did leave some for us to munch on. The chickens grow fast and have a fun time exploring our playground with us.

We g ive them lots of cuddles and some even play with us!

Friends have also been working hard and raking up even mor e le ave s f r om the trees. We have used our strong muscles to f i l l up ou r wheelba r r ows numerous times, and then take them out to the compost pile where we tip them out. Lots of fabulous teamwork has been happening, and some f r iends have even been ‘strong enough’ to use the ‘grown up’ shovels and rakes whilst working here too!

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Coonabarabran Public What an exciting adventure a small group of students in Year 6 are on. They were selected to participate in our Early Transition to High School program, which runs fortnightly for the remainder of the term.

S t u d e n t s participating experienced a food technology lesson with Miss Positti, making pizza muffins, and learnt some valuable health and safety skills.

Later, Dr Armstrong taught a history lesson on ‘Otzi the Iceman’ and students had to come up with a theory on how

he may have died over 5300 years ago.

Students involved in this initial orientation visit enjoyed ‘eating’ their creations and learned some great inquiry skills which will assist them studying history next year.

Our next transition visit will be with Mr Stewart for some woodwork.

Whole school Year 6/7 transition will begin in term four with a mathematics and science session so that students will meet some teachers from the high school, and a transition day where students

will meet their year advisor/s and have an orientation to the layout of the school. Also, a parent information session will follow in term four.

Our Friday assemblies got off to a wonderful start with a spectacular lineup of Stars of the Week.

These are awarded to a student in each class whom has demonstrated focus and commitment to achieving in the classroom and on the playground. They are a fine example of our ‘Positive Behaviour’ for learning.

Kookas minor premiers

COONABARABRAN KOOKAS RUGBY UNION

The Coonabarabran Kookaburras have been named minor premiers of the Central West Rugby’s Oilsplus Cup, and will take on the Wellington Redbacks this Saturday for a direct path into the grand final.

A l t h o u g h Coonaba rabran had already been confirmed undefeated minor premiers before a disappointing Geurie Goats forfeited t he l a s t g a me o f t he year, it would have been a wonder f u l d ay l a s t Saturday to see the club finish the home-and-away season in front of our wonderful loyal supporters.

Geurie, which has some sor t of player shar ing a r rangement w ith the Dubbo Macquarie Rugby League Club, has been disappointing on the road all year, as many of their players who travel on Sunday decide it is too much to travel on Saturday as well.

When they did not get a bonus point in their loss to Welling ton the previous week it meant that Coolah, Molong or Yeoval were always going to leap frog them on the table if they could not get an unlikely win over the Kookas. Nonetheless, when you commit for the season the expectation is you will play every game; the forfeit leaving our club

and our major sponsor, the Imperial Hotel, out of pocket financially.

So, that brings us to this weekend where the Warrumbungle Shire will be home to both semifinals. Coolah, who has had a wonderful season, will host Molong in the minor semi-final and an inform Wellington team will travel to Coonabarabran for the major semi-final.

Since Coonabarabran defeated Wellington on their home ground 26 12 si x weeks ago, the R edbacks have scored 317-46 against. Like a good Melbourne Cup horse, their preparation has been long and seems to peaking at the right time.

In contrast, the Kookas have scored 19514, albeit with no result against Geurie. T here have been some scratchy appearances, particularly against Coolah when they only won 14-3 and some several short periods in most other games.

But I do feel we have not seen the best of the Kookaburras this year.

You can only praise their

defence and attack, but often our ball handling, scrums, line-outs and silly penalties make it harder than it has to be. Sort these out and it will have to be a very special side indeed that defeats us.

Wellington are semifinal specialists, as they qualify most years, and know that winning is more important than how you win. Tactically, they are clever and have a goal kicker in Greenaway who can punish you from 50 metres out.

Even last year we had to play a semi-final at home against the Redbacks and although we went in as overwhelming favourites they pushed us all game, eventually going down 15-9.

So this is going to be one belter of a match and surely not one to miss, so we encourage as many of our supporters as possible to get to this one with a loud voice that you are not frightened to use.

Scores Coonabarabran defeated Geurie via forfeit (awarded the maximum

five competition points).

SATURDAY, 5TH AUGUST Coonabarabran’s No. 3 Oval 2.00pm kick-off

Let’s get them into the grand final!

FULL BAR I BBQ I CANTEEN

Finals race heats up!

The final pieces of the 2023 Castlereagh League finals jigsaw will be put into place over the remaining two competition games, with six clubs fighting it out for the five semi-final berths on offer, with the finishing order still to be sorted.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE The only certainty is that the Gulgong Bull Te r r i e r s w i l l f i n i s h a s m i n o r p re m i e r s a f te r they accounted for the Coonamb l e Bea r s 4 6 to nil in a Boronia Cup cha l l eng e game l as t Sat u rd a y, 2 9 J u l y, at Gulgong.

Even if they were to lose their remaining two games, the Terriers will still finish in first position, as they currently have a seven - competition point buffer bet ween t h e m s e l ve s a n d t h e Dunedoo Swans, who are currently in second place on the ladde r.

The Swans will hold this position going into the f i n a l r o u n d , a s t h ey w i l l h a ve a bye t h i s weekend.

The Swans and the Cobar Roosters fought out a thr illing 20 - all draw in their match at Dunedoo last Saturday.

In other games, the Narromine Jets downed the Baradine Magpies 36 to 2 2, whi le the G i l g and ra Panthe r s overcame a stubborn Binnaway Bombshel ls out f it. T he Pa nthe r sdrew away in the final stages of the game to win 44 to 16, with their exciting young centre, Ty Sutherland, crossing for five tries in what was a vital win to them.

The six clubs in co ntent i o n fo r a f i r s t grade semi final-position are Gulgong 36 points, Dunedoo 29, Cobar 28, Narromine 28, Gilgandra 26 and Coonabarabran 24.

The r un home fo r these clubs will see the Terriers play Baradine at

Baradine, then Cobar at home.

D unedoo w i l l get maximum competition p o i n t s t h i s w e e ke n d courtesy of having the bye before they travel to Gilgandra in the last round.

Cobar face two hard road trips, beginning this Saturday when they play Narromine, before lining up against Gulgong in round 14.

The Jets are at home to the Roosters before having the bye.

Gilgandra heads up the Newell to play the Coonaba rab ran Unicorns and then they have Dunedoo at home, while after hosting the Panthers this Saturday the Unico r ns a re at home again in the final round against Binnaway.

While all games are v i ta l , t h i s r o u n d t h e clashes at Nar romine a n d Coo n a ba ra b ra n stand out in terms of the implications that they could have on the make up of the final five.

Coonabarabran ca n d ra w l eve l w i t h Gilgandra in fifth position if they can secure a win over the Panthers this weekend, while outright third is on offer to the winner of the Narromine versus Cobar game.

The Gulgong Terriers can expect no favours from the Baradine Magpies. While the Magpies might be out of semi-final contention, they would like nothing better than to become the first team to bowl over the competition leaders this year, and in front of their home

crowd they are capable of anything.

The remaining game will see Coonamble host Binnaway, with the winner of the clash being o n e s te p a wa y f ro m avoiding the wooden spoon.

Important league-tag games will be played at Narromine when the second - p l aced Jets take on the third-placed Cobar Roosterettes, and at Baradine when the Maggies (four th) and Gulgong (equal f ifth) clash.

Baradine Golf Club swings another big grant Baradine Golf Club is the proud owner of a new shed to store maintenance equipment and golf carts.

by LIZ CUTTS The club was successful in landing a Commun ity Bui ld ing Pa r tnersh ips g ra nt for over $24 ,0 0 0 to construct the new storage space, with club members delighted with the achievement.

“This is a great win for the club,” said president, Merv Sutherland.

“It is essential that we keep our equipment and golf carts safe and secure and we can now do that.

“We have been very lucky i n la nd i ng a number of grants over

the past few years since the new club house was built.

“These have allowed us to carry out some very beneficial improvement projects and contributed to the increase in our membership. “ We wou ld l i ke t o thank the Member for Barwon, Roy Butler for his invitation to lodge the grant application and for his much-appreciated support.”

T he Commun ity Building Partnership pr og ra m h a s f u nded more than 18 ,0 0 0 community projects since it commenced in 2009.

This State Government funding delivers muchneeded improvements to local facilities through building upgrades, solar panels, covered outdoor areas and a defibrillator, just to name a few. “ T he funding is a i m e d a t t h e m a ny and varied community organisations,” Member for Barwon, Roy Butler

said. “ F rom g rassroots community and sports groups to councils and local branches of larger

well-known charitable institutions, the funding will result in a great range of cultural, educational, safety and

even health benefits for the communities. “ I cong ratu late a l l the organisations that were successful in their

appl icat ion a nd lo ok forward to seeing how t he s e pr oje c t s m a ke a r e a l d i f fer enc e i n western NSW.”

Golden oldies hit paydirt LADIES’ GOLF We can no longer blame the weather for staying away from golf, as the last three Wednesdays have been absolutely glorious.

I admit, there have been a few dramas over the last couple of months involving several of the regular ladies but, hopefully, the worst is far behind us.

Last week, the field of players congratulated the two oldest lady golfers in the club, who were surprised to find themselves in the winning circle – Judy Williams winning the club voucher with 35 points, and Doreen Searle romping home in second place to win a new golf ball, scoring 33 points.

Mind you, their generous handicaps nearly equal their ages!

The nearest the pin prize on the 4/13th hole was won by Kerrie Ward.

Well done, Kerrie.

admitted that she had no alarms or guard dogs and her friends asked why.

“Well,” said the woman, “ I have f ive you ng children. If a burglar came into my bedroom in the middle of the night, I’d probably take his hand and lead him to the toilet.”

Newcastle Jets blast into Galaxy Football Club Soaring, scoring and more as the Newcastle Jets train up the local soccer club.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The Coonabarabran Galax y Football Club k i cked i nto g ea r l a s t weekend, w ith t wo coaches from the Newcastle Jets making the pilgrimage to Coonabarabran.

Over Fr iday and S a t u r d a y, t h e J e t s delivered four training sessions that were brimming with practical tips to help local players develop their skills.

James Lawson, president of the Galaxy Footba l l Cl ub, sa id the sessions provided students, members and coaches with new p e r s p e c t i ve s o n t h e game.

Members of the club were also presented with resources and offered tickets to attend a Jets’ A-League match.

The Club’s coaches received a private session with the professionals, as they learnt how to implement new drills and techniques.

T h e y t h e n implemented these new drills during a training

s e s s i o n w i t h p l a ye r s , under the guidance of the Jets’ coaches.

Mr Lawson noted the value in bringing the Jets out to Coonabarabran.

“For the young co a ch e s ex p o s e d to the training sessions, I feel it shows them what is possible,” Mr Lawson said.

“It also brings someth i ng new and different to the town.”

The Jets have regional limits imposed on the distance they can travel.

However, while driving to Sydney, Mr Lawson called to the head office of the Newcastle Jets and relayed the Galaxy Club’s plight to its CEO. “All the right people were there,” he said.

“I showed a lot of enthusiasm and w e w a l ke d o u t w i t h contacts, a good introduction and free merchandise.”

T he futu re goa l s of t h e G a l a x y F o ot b a l l Club include fur ther developmental oppor tunities, while providing lots of support and fun.

“We aren’t spoilt for choice, but it is what you make of it,” Mr Lawson

said.

Reunion recalls great win

By BILL POULOS

It was sometime in August, 1973.

Probably under that big old fig tree just near the dressing sheds at Taylor Oval.

Training had finished for Moree High School’s open-weight rugby league team and the boys were cooling down.

They were worn out.

Coach John Mclean had trained them hard but a tough work-out was crucial, given this group of teenagers had in the previous few months turned NSW junior rugby league upside-down.

They had firmly placed Moree on the sporting map and were now only days away from forging their hometown’s entry into rugby league folklore.

These boys from all walks of life and backgrounds had joined together as one powerful entity to take the 1973 University Shield competition by the scruff of the neck and shake the absolute living daylights out of it.

Grand-final glory at Gosford’s Grahame Park in just a few days’ time beckoned.

Back then, the school motto was Play the Game. And that is exactly what this team had done throughout the year – no exceptions.

As they sat there pondering the vagaries of life, one of the boys proffered a thought-provoking question.

Some say it was team captain Terry Quinn, but the passage of time has blurred a few memories, as well as a few facts.

“What would happen if

Community celebration of historic victory Countless stories and anecdotes will be revisited when members of the Moree 1973 University Shieldwinning team reunite with fellow players and supporters from a magical era of rugby league at a huge reunion in Moree on August 18, 19 and 20.

It is one game of footy that is still talked about today, 50 years later.

Jesus Christ ever came to Moree, coach?”

Kingmaker McLean, who was still nutting out his playmakers for the upcoming day of reckoning on the central coast, didn’t take long to respond.

In fact, McLean didn’t draw breath.

“Jesus Christ? Here in Moree?

Well, we’d put him on the bench until well into the second half, probably leave him there, I’d say.

We can put one of the Peachey twins on one wing and Brown on the other, and the other Peachey twin at full-back. Quinny and Haddie can stay centres and we’ll keep Deany at five-eighth and Jonesey at lock. Greasy’s a good hooker so there’s no reason he can’t stay put and Harry will do just fine at halfback.

“Briggs and King can stay in the second-row behind Buster and Brooksy, but we’ll have to make sure Briggs gets a crack at some

The way they were - front row, Moree High School principal Ian Hodge, Mike Hadfield, Michael ‘Buster’ Duke, Terry Quinn, John Brooks, Bernie Briggs and coach John McLean. Middle row, Harry Allen, Peter Peachey, Greg King, Richard Brown, Stephen Dawson and Paul Peachey. Back row, Tony Dean, Peter Gillan, Stephen Jones, Gregg Humphries, John Brazier and Peter Butler.

goals – he kicks alright.

“Jesus Christ? Here in Moree?

We’d give him a go, I suppose, but

we probably wouldn’t need him.”

They all stared wide-eyed. When McLean’s rapid-fire, pre-match

strategy subsided they nodded sagely.

Historic win celebration Continued from page 1

Yes, of course, that would be the obvious solution if Jesus Christ ever walked through the gates of Taylor Oval looking for a game.

And so it came to pass on that balmy winter’s afternoon that if the Second Coming just happened to materialise in the next day or two, the sandal-wearing lad from Nazareth would be made fifth reserve behind Stephen Dawson, Peter Gillan, Gregg Humphries and Peter Butler.

He never did show up; wasn’t really needed, anyway.

That’s just how good this team was.

Strangely enough, this seemingly mismatched assemblage of teenagers that simply dripped talent stepped on to the University Shield grand-final stage as clearly-defined underdogs.

But, gee, did they have some bite.

These profoundly gifted boys, who would develop lifelong bonds and deep friendships as they grew older and wiser, defeated Forbes High School 13-12 in a history-making grand-final.

And that narrow win was thanks to a faultless conversion off the boot of Bernie Briggs, a 15-yearold sporting prodigy destined to become one of Moree’s finest athletes, and one of the town’s most respected and cherished residents.

Bernie was the youngest player on the field when he took Moree to a one-point lead with 10 minutes of play remaining of that now-famous game of rugby league.

The roar from the huge crowd was deafening, but Bernie took it all in his stride.

He didn’t need to speak. That huge smile said it all.

Silence fell across Grahame Park as that oval-shaped ball floated magically across the black dot.

Even coach McLean stopped chewing ice – he was on his third bucket of the stuff when he sent Bernie in to do the near-impossible.

Bernie had single-handedly – or footedly, if there is such a word – embedded his sports-mad hometown into rugby league folklore.

It is one game of footy that is still talked about today, 50 years later.

It’s talked about as if it was played just yesterday and, in later years, Bernie would often recall that moment; that few seconds that completely rewrote Moree sporting history.

Sadly, Bernie passed in early 2017, but his team-mates will remember him and fellow players, John ‘Greasy’ Brazier and Terry Quinn, at a huge reunion in Moree on August 18,19 and 20.

Hooker Greasy Brazier passed away in 2012 and his life was celebrated at the team’s 40-year

reunion at the Gold Coast in 2013, when represented by his children Jack and Annie, sister Johanna and mother, Ruth.

Team captain Terry Quinn, who went on to be appointed NSW Country Rugby League CEO, succumbed to a long illness in September last year.

In 2018, he recalled what winning the University Shield meant to the team – and the town of Moree.

“The impact of what we did when we won that game was lost on us.

“The fact is that we didn’t know what we had done,” he said.

“And I honestly believe that game of footy not only helped the Moree community but it helped us along in life as well.

“I was a very proud captain all those years ago and the unity that has grown between this team in the years since is magnificent.”

Briggs once said he felt “sheer elation” when the flags were raised and Moree took a 13-12 lead.

“But I remembered we still had 10 minutes of football left and the game wasn’t over – even though we got one point in front, the game wasn’t finished,” he said.

Funnily enough though, when that final 10 minutes of play was over and the full-time siren rang out, no-one on the field heard it, so deafening was the roar from the crowd.

Vantage NSW, General Manager Michael Casey

Moree coach John McLean grins broadly as Moree High School openweight players prepare for their lap of honour after winning the 1973 University Shield at Gosford’s Grahame Park.

This group of boys from Moree kept playing, unaware the game was over – they were completely oblivious to the fact they had marched Moree into rugby league folklore.

The team kept playing until they realised their opposite numbers were congratulating them, not tackling them.

It was a precious moment for a small country town, and a huge moment for a group of teenagers who developed decades-lasting friendships.

Early in the 1973 season, Moree High School handed hidings to Warialda (48-6), Tenterfield (59-2) and Armidale (20-6).

In round four, the team delivered a 14-2 beating to Tamworth – coached at the time by Roy Masters – before outgunning Maitland, 27-5.

After defeating Lismore 4410, Moree went to the northern zone semi-final against Newcastle Technical High at Tamworth’s Scully Park.

By this stage, a team once touted as simply there to make up the numbers was making headlines across NSW. Moree ran away with the semi-final 26-10, thus cementing a berth in the University Shield grand-final.

Fullback Paul Peachey recalled that on the same afternoon Moree High whitewashed Lismore at Taylor Oval, the school’s 16-years team won its division in the Peel Schools’ carnival at Tamworth.

“Moree had to win at Tamworth that day to make the State titles, but the problem was, there were five or six players out of the team with Uni Shield commitments,” Peachey said.

“It was an incredible task for them, but they still won – it was a fantastic effort and one of the highlights of the year.”

Peachey remembers with absolute clarity the dying seconds of the University Shield grand-final.

“The funny thing about it all is that when the siren went, the crowd heard it first,” he said.

“The cheers were so loud that we really didn’t know the game was over until everyone came running out on to the field.

“When it was all over, all I could feel was disbelief. It was an incredible day and, at that moment, I was particularly proud to be a boy from the country in front of all those people, a boy from Moree,” he said.

Peachey remembers early in the season when team members approached coach John McLean, asking if they could keep the school-issued jerseys.

“I think it was a bout the second game, and he told us we could have them when we got to the quarter-finals – then he walked off laughing,” Peachey grinned.

But it was the players that had the last laugh when their journey was complete.

“Terry Quinn kept his jersey in perfect condition,” he said.

“He never wore it again afterwards – that’s just how much that win meant to him.”

The 1973 University Shield squad has remained close over the years.

They are family.

There have been huge reunions as well as quiet get-togethers, but the 50-year reunion planned for August 18-19-20 will no doubt be the biggest.

Prop John Brooks, who crashed through the Forbes defence and scored the crucial try that was converted by Briggs, often smiles when chatting about the stellar season.

He jokingly says the University Shield was brought back to Moree because of sheer, unadulterated fear.

It’s a good-humoured revelation that came to light shortly after the team’s reunion on the Gold Coast in 2013 when Brooks was contacted by the assistant coach of the Forbes team.

“He’d heard that we’d had this reunion and wanted to know if we had any memorabilia and whatnot from the game,” Brooks said.

A historic reunion Continued from page 2

“He told me that during the grand-final, their coach was beside himself. Apparently they knew they were in trouble at halftime, even though they were in front.

“They reckoned they’d never played against a forward pack like us guys. He said his team was used to running over the top of forwards, but our boys would be running and passing and backing up. He said they knew they were in big trouble. I told Bernie the story and he said, ‘did you tell him the way we were playing was because of fear – they were big bastards’,” Brooks laughed.

“This guy told me that our match-plan was just so superior to theirs, but I really didn’t want to break it to him that we never really had a match-plan – it was just ad hoc where everyone did their bit.

“Everybody had a particular skill set that made the team as one but the way this bloke was talking, it was if we had this technical thing happening.

“I was scratching my head listening to him, but as Bernie said, we were playing on pure fear because they were big bastards,” he chuckled. This group of boys went through the 1973 season unbeaten – but it didn’t go without incident, according to Brooks.

“Once we played Armidale and they had a little five-eighth called Andrew Donnelly, who was quite good,” he said.

Donnelly was arguably Armidale’s best junior rugby league player at the time, and only a couple of years away from playing for South Sydney Rabbitohs.

“He was a NSW State boxer as well, and he thought he had Bernie’s measure, so after a little bit of roughing up, it came to blows,” Brooks said.

“Bernie, who was only 15, dropped him. Donnelly was about 17 and the star of Armidale ... you’ve never seen a side get so deflated.

“Poor Bernie had to get up at assembly and apologise to the school for dropping this bloke in the middle of the game,” Brooks laughed.

Briggs was a 1970s’ sporting prodigy and part of Moree High’s

undefeated under-16s outfit as well. Besides his pivotal role in the University Shield win, he also played with that year’s under-18s Group 5 grand-final winners.

Highly skilled at any sport, Briggs was named the NSW combined high schools’ 15-years javelin champion and was an all-rounder with the north-west area open cricket team.

He has the distinction of being awarded two north-west area Blues in 1973 – one for athletics and a special Blue for rugby league and cricket. Fullback Harry Allen, who also finished fifth in the NSW State diving championships, lived and breathed rugby league – and still does.

Just 24 hours after playing in the University Shield Final at Gosford, he played in the area team at Tamworth against Papua New Guinea then two days later went to Sydney for the 16-years’ elimination games.

He bobbed up later in the week at Port Macquarie, representing NSW against Papua New Guinea, before running on with the Moree juniors in the Group 5 competition eight days after Moree High’s historic Shield win – all at just 17 years of age.

The University Shield final clashed with a NSW versus Papua New Guinea match, a game Allen was selected to play.

He had the choice of representing Moree or NSW – he chose Moree.

His self-imposed absence from the State side allowed a young bloke by the name of Steve Mortimer to get a run with NSW. “Harry was a freak,” Briggs once said of his team-mate.

“He kept Steve Mortimer on the bench leading up to the game against PNG but when he decided to play for Moree, Mortimer got a run.”

Many players from that vintage era scaled great heights, both on and off the paddock.

Terry Quinn played for Penrith Panthers for 10 years. Brothers Paul and Peter Peachey also played for the Panthers while prop Michael “Buster” Duke played for Murwillumbah.

University Shield five-eighth Tony Dean later made the NSW

Country team and played representative football with the Gold Coast while vice-captain Harry Allen ran on with Balmain juniors.

Shield reserve Peter Butler reached State level in athletics and Stephen Jones ventured interstate to play top-level league in Brisbane.

Prop John Brooks, who crashed through the Forbes defence to bring Moree to within one point of University Shield greatness, later signed with the Newtown Jets.

Mark Wright played centre for the under-16s squad in 1973. He later signed with Newtown Jets and represented NSW at State of Origin level.

Coach John McLean said at the 40-year reunion at the Gold Coast in 2013, the ties that bind were still strong.

“I’m just thrilled that all these blokes are still together,” McLean said. “They’re still good mates, even though they’re spread all over the place. They have grown up well and are so proud of what they’ve done.

“Winning the Shield was a big

thing for Moree and the way the town celebrated with us and the things they did for us was incredible.”

Countless stories and anecdotes will be revisited – and more than likely re-jigged and embellished – when members of the 1973 University Shield-winning team

reunite with fellow players from a magical era of rugby league at a huge reunion in Moree on August 18-19-20.

Parents explore boarding school options at Expo Parents keen to explore boarding school options for their children again found a comprehensive information source at the Boarding Schools Expo Australia held in Narrabri on July 21 and 22.

Thirty seven metropolitan and regional boarding schools from across NSW and southern Queensland were represented at the expo which provides a one stop venue for parents and their children.

The Crossing Theatre was the Narrabri venue which provided plenty of space for schools’ information booths manned by school staff. The expo was busy across both days, Friday and Saturday.

Many attendees were former students of schools represented at the expo, bringing their children

along to hear the latest from their old school and consider the alternatives as well.

“We were delighted with the success of the Narrabri Boarding Schools Expo,” said director Amanda Ferrari. “There was great local support for the expo and people attended from across the region - one family travelled 375 kilometres.”

The Boarding Schools Expo is a long established information source for parents and potential students, who are able to meet the principals, deputy principals, directors of boarding and other school staff personally to learn about the impressive range of school choices.

They can discuss the education,

sport and cultural opportunities offered and different payment management scenarios which enable country students to experience a boarding school education.

The Boarding Schools Expo was launched in Dubbo 17 years ago and continues to grow - more than 10,000 children and their families have visited the expos across the state over the years at 52 events.

Expos are held in central locations across country NSW and this year have been held at Dubbo, Griffth, Wagga Wagga and Narrabri.

Boarding Schools Expo Australia also offers Boarding Expo 365 - a new virtual expo open 365 days of the year, 24/7 to suit families from wherever they call home.

Among attendees at the Boarding Schools Expo, Jim Noble, left, Patrick Campbell, Narrabri, and Pierce Hardy. Pierce is the son of former Narrabri residents Jeff and Margaret Hardy.
