Time’s a changing at Clocktower Local motel, The Clocktower Motor Inn, known for its central location and giant, red motel sign, has recently been sold to new owners, Guy and Narelle Andrews.

by JIMMY WHALAN M r And rew s sa i d he had been in the market to buy a motel for a n u m be r of yea r s, b ut l a nd ed o n buy i ng the Cl ock towe r af te r the previous owners, Dennis and Judy O’Brien, went into retirement.

M r s O’ B r i e n s a i d s h e a n d h e r husband had bought the motel in June 1996 from Ray and Sandra Cole.

The motel was originally built by Judy and Noel Webber in 1988, and Mrs O'Br ien had worked there for both Noel and Judy, and remained on staff when it had been leased to Sandra and Ray Cole.

“I used to manage the motel when they would go away on holidays, but when they decided to sell, Dennis and I thought ‘yeah, we’ll do it’,” Mrs O’Brien said.

While Mrs O’Brien said there had been a couple of slow years during thei r time at the Clock tower, she said business now seemed to be on the rise.

“I think a lot of motels are doing well because they’re computerised now and we weren’t, but I think Guy and Narelle will do really well because they’ve gone computerised.”

Mr and Mrs O’Brien said they were th r illed to have sold the business to a l oca l coup l e and ex tended their thanks to ever yone who had supported them over the years.

Dennis and Judy are now planning to enjoy their well-earned retirement, with plans to visit their grandchildren regularly, and enjoy a cruise.

New owners For new owners, Guy and Narelle Andrews, an electrical background

has been a bonus, with works already commenced to update and make the motel their own. “ We’ve r e p l a c e d m o s t o f t h e l ig hts w ith ene rgy ef f icient LE D s, we’ve changed the sign to LED, and have been working to modernise everything,” Mr Andrews said.

“We’re just about to install some more solar with batteries to make everything more energy efficient.”

Mr Andrews said the next step will be to upgrade the rooms, including updating the furniture and bedding, as well as the reception area.

H e sa i d th e m a i n d ra wca rd of purchasing the motel was its location.

“When we ask people why they stay here, the most common response is the location,” Mr Andrews said.

“It’s close to town, it’s close to meals, and it’s actually quiet too – even though it’s close to the highway; because it’s brick, you don’t actually hear a lot of the noise.”

When the wet weather clears, Mr Andrews said he is planning to climb the iconic Clock tower Motel sign tower to get the lights back up and running.

“I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen it going, but the sign is almost like an icon of Coona, so it will be good to have that going again.”

Moving for ward, Guy and Narelle And rews i ntend to conti nue w ith i m p r ove m e n t w o r k s w h e r e t h ey can and make the most of this new venture they’ve undertaken.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR  editor@coonabarabrantimes.com Renewable Energy Zone – what’s Council’s problem?

I just received the Warrumbungle Shire Council Community e-Newsletter, November 2023, in my email inbox and being a person who likes to know what is going on in my community, I checked it out and found that the mayor, Ambrose Doolan said a submission was lodged objecting to the transmission lines for the Renewable Energy Zone (REZ).

I had heard something about renewable energy developing, so I followed links to all the information about REZ. I found out a lot.

REZ is the state and Australia’s first Renewable Energy Zone, which will use solar and wind power to provide at least three gigawatts of new network power to 14-million homes.

It will mostly impact on Coolah, Leadville, Dunedoo, Birriwa, Cobbora and surrounds in the Warrumbungle Shire area. It is estimated to bring in $5 billion of private investment to the Central West Orana Region by 2030 and will provide 6000-8000 construction jobs. There will be benefits in housing and accommodation, labour and workforce, telecommunications and social aspect, said

Ambrose Doolan.

The new transmission infrastructure will export electricity to the network and provide clean, affordable energy.

C o m m u n i t y consultation has occurred since 17 September 2021 Energy Co has been established to involve community and key stakeholders, acquiring land and assessment for the REZ netw o r k, de ve lo pin g and overseeing Environmental Impact Statements and procedures and running a competitive tender process.

The legislation has been developed and gone through Parliament.

So, what is the problem? It all sounds good to me. Why was a negative submission regarding the transmission network lodged? No information was given about any of the submission in the Community eNewsletter?

Don’t you think the Warrumbungle Community should know what the objections were?

After all, we still live in a democracy where we have a right to factual information and which should be made available to citizens, don’t we?

Yours etc., Pam Stein.

Town Hall disgrace I read with amazement the article on the disgusting state of the Coonabarabran Town Hall kitchen and the reply from Nicole Benson. (Coona Times 23/11/2023) Nicole Benson says that the property management position was vacant and it was too late on a Friday to have the kitchen cleaned.

Doesn’t the Shire have health inspectors anymore whereby they visit eateries in town to inspect their kitchens and enforce the acceptable health standards? If so, why wasn’t the Town Hall included?

I’m quite sure any

eatery in the shire would have been closed down immediately and possibly fined if their kitchen was in the same deplorable state.

If the property management position has been vacant (and Shire knew this), why hasn’t the kitchen been inspected and cleaned by someone?

Nicole Benson said in your article, “It’s too late to have the kitchen cleaned’’ – so there must be cleaners available!

I wonder if the King of England was to dine at the hall would Nicole Benson say to the caterers, “It’s too late on a Friday to have it cleaned,”. No, it would

The whole affair is a disgrace and an embarrassment to Coonabarabran and an absolute insult to those of us who wish to hire the hall and kitchen.

There’s a huge problem in government institutions these days, and that is, ‘“Don’t ask me, it’s not my job’’.

Businesses in the private sector would last two months if their staff had an attitude like that.

The ‘Team Leader’ thing has apparently died a slow death.

Baradine on water quality alert Baradine residents have been notified that town water is currently unsafe for drinking.

by LIZ CUTTS A boiled-water a ler t , t oget her w it h notification of level 6 water restrictions were issued by Warrumbungle Shire Council on Friday, 24 November, following problems with the town’s water supply scheme.

Residents were advised that water used for d r i n k i ng or fo od preparation should be

boiled until the problem has been rectified. “ Last week we had some burst water mains in the Baradine water r et ic u l at ion s cheme , with this escalating on Friday when there were a number of mains breaks around the same time,” explained Warrumbungle Shire general manager, Roger Bailey. “ Unfortunately, the wat er -supply syst em

3 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 30 November 2023

was unable to keep the supply up and, as a result, there was no sufficient treatment time before the water left the water treatment plant. As a result of this lack of treatment time we had to implement level 6 water restrictions and issue a ‘boil water’ alert.

“Since that time there has been only one burst water main and we believe that to be unrelated to the

original problem.”

Mr Bailey said that C ounci l sta f f were working to identify the cause behind the burst water mains to resolve the problem.

“Once we are happy with the level of water treatment , f u r ther wat er sa mpl i ng w i l l be under ta ken a nd the samples sent to an independent laboratory to confirm the results,”

Mr Bailey added. “ O n c e t he r e s u lt s have been cleared, and assuming there are no further problems, then the ‘boil water’ alert will be lifted and the community will be notified as soon as town water is safe for consumption.”

Council reminds residents that all current advice regarding water usage should be followed until further notice.

IN FOCUS: CHRISTMAS 2023

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas It’s almost 1st December and for some that means it’s time to dust off the red and gold decorations and download Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” to pump the car while you do laps of the main drag. Despite some traditions, Christmas is a time of giving, so why not give back to the community and local businesses that support the town?

by GEORGIA SPENCE With the Christmas countdown well and truly on, Coonabarabran is embracing the festive spirit.

Throughout December, multiple events will be held, showcasing and supporting community clubs, services and local businesses...

Lo ca l reta i l o u t l et s a re t h e backbone of a community, often crucial to the growth of a town, so during a time where giving is the main theme, why not share the Christmas spirit and support familyowned and local businesses.

Local gifts can create a personal touch and have a flow-on effect to the rest of the community.

Rhonda Jewiss, owner of Prezzies, said it could be difficult for small, local stores to compete with online shopping, so encouraged people to “shop local”.

“It means the difference to staying open and not staying open,” Mrs Jewiss said.

“In a way, you feel appreciated by the community when they support the business, and you want to stay open for them.

“If I do well, I can then support schools, organisations and other family-owned businesses.”

B u y i n g l o ca l f i r s t co u l d b e purchasing a Christmas feast from a local butchery, or enjoying a Boxing Day lunch or dinner at one of the local eateries.

This festive season also provides an opportunity to support local events.

T h e tow n w i l l b e i m m e r s e d in musical talent at the Coonabarabran Showgrounds for Christmas Carols in the Park, on 17 December.

This annual event will present a total of six choirs and bands,

pe r fo r m i ng t wo songs each throughout the evening.

Steve Larance, representing the Men’s Choir, said he is expecting a big turn out.

“It will be bigger, better and brighter than ever! It is the first time having it at the showgrounds,” Mr Larance said.

“Everyone can get involved. We will be handing out carols to all who attend, so they can sing along.”

Supporting annual events paves the way for more occasions of celebration.

The town is also set to enjoy a very merry Christmas feast.

Volunteer Sally Taylor, has said preparations for the Coonabarabran Community Christmas Luncheon are going smoothly, with around 200 people expected to attend.

Anyone wishing to enjoy this Christmas Day community event are asked to put their name down at the Newsagency or Regional Australia Bank for catering purposes.

Donations are also encouraged and can be given to the Regional Australia Bank or Ms Taylor.

“We just want everyone to have a great lunch with great community spirit and fun. Currently, donations of water or any non-alcoholic drinks would be great,” Ms Taylor said.

“Apparently Santa is coming to visit after he has done his rounds – he will be pretty tired though!”

E xpressing gratitude by contributing to the local economy and events is essential for regional towns.

Christmas can highlight the glue that brings community together and offers moments to embrace something bigger than the day-today routine.

On Tuesday, 28 November community members led by Kalyna Sparks (centre) gathered to help deocrate the town Christmas tree in Coonabarabran.

Pilliga inspires nature’s canvas The wonder of the Pilliga Forest has drawn in many creative minds, including artist, teacher and avid learner, Chris Orchard.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The serendipity of being in a particular place, at a particular time is the focus of SPACE Gallery’s newest exhibition, now open at Coonabarabran.

Time of, place of is an exploration of the ecological and personal relationship between artist Chris Orchard and the Pilliga Forest.

Mr Orchard is an associate professor in creative arts at Charles Sturt University (Wagga) and has made himself available to share his knowledge and work with the Coonabarabran community.

His art reflects the ecological stories and relationships within the Pilliga, using local and natural materials.

Mr Orchard said his connection to the Pilliga was influenced through his grandfather, who kept bees in the forest and spent months observing how the forest interacts.

Wishing to begin rebuilding his families’ relationship to Country, Mr Orchard is currently studying the Gamilaroi

language.

“The whole process is a conversation with the Pilliga Forest,” he said.

“I have made work that destroys itself over time. The materials from the forest won’t last and will eat at the paper.

“It is a representation of my knowledge at this point in time. It is a commitment to the forest. I will have to come back to learn more and redraw these pieces.”

Each piece has taken 15-20 hours of dedicated work, however, the research to understand the ecological relationships between flora and fauna has taken a lot longer.

His drawings are created through the forest’s materials.

The ink is made from ash and essential oils distilled from the forest, the background is ochre, and wattle gum is also used to represent his vision.

Remaining present with the forest’s surroundings allows Mr Orchard to understand the Pilliga’s seasonal cycles, therefore nothing is out of place in his work.

“Everything is in its

5 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 30 November 2023

proper relationship.

It takes time and the materials are an effort of trial and error,” Mr Orchard said.

“I want to maintain my relationship with the forest whether I am here or not.”

“You can’t expect to see everything the first time.

You could walk the path 1000 times and never see the same thing.”

Mr Orchard is also committed to giving back to the local community.

Recently, SPACE hosted workshops involving Mr Orchard and his seemingly endless list of qualifications.

Photography and mixed media workshops were held, along with a mentoring day for emerging artists who wanted their work reviewed by a professional.

A future goal for Mr Orchard includes creating a children’s book, highlighting the ecological value of the flora and fauna who call the forest home.

He has also promised himself to the forest, aiming to return and continue his love of learning.

Artist Chris Orchard, with some of his detailed imaginings of the flora and fauna found in the Pilliga, now on exhibition at Coonabarabran’s SPACE Gallery.

Coona Public’s spelling superstar On Friday, 3 November, Coonabarabran Public School (CPS) Year 4 student, Will Weatherall represented his school at the 2023 NSW Premier’s Spelling Bee finals in Sydney.

by JIMMY WHALAN To make it to this level, Will first had to win both the CPS and Regional Spelling Bee. After successfully spelling the word ‘necessary,’ Will was named champion of the Regional Spelling Bee, moving on to the state finals in Sydney.

J u s t by m a k i n g i t to this level meant that Will was placed in the top 30 of 18 0,0 0 0 NSW pr imar y school students, from across 88 0 schools, who had par ticipated in this competition. And, this was also the second year in a row that Will had been able to spell his way to this amazing achievement!

At tend i ng the state spelling bee in Sydney also made for a fun trip for Will and his family.

“We went to an Italian restaurant called ‘Macchiato’ and to Time Zone, it was really fun and exciting – and I got some time off school,” Will said.

On the day of competition, Will said he made it through the first five rounds, successfully spelling the words ‘gallery’, ‘m us i cian’, ‘g ua ranto r’, ‘purify’, and ‘novelty’, but wa s e l i m i n a te d d u r i n g the sixth round after he misspelled the word ‘elliptical’.

W i l l’s ef fo r t s sa w h i m place 14th out of the 30 students that competed on the day, ranking him 14th in the state for his age category – an incredible achievement.

Will said he felt proud to be representing his school in this competition.

“I was very surprised I got through again, but I was ver y proud to represent Co o n a b a ra b ra n Pu b l i c School for a second time,” he said.

“I’d love to make it again next year – and hopefully do better.”

But w hat’s the secret to becoming a spel l ing superstar?

Will said it takes a lot of practice, reading, and not giving up when the words get tough.

“I practice the words, try to clear my mind, and relax – sometimes I make up a funny way to remember them.”

Will is clearly a skilled speller, but don’t all of us have that one, everyday w o r d w e a l w a y s h a ve trouble spelling?

Much shor ter than his favou r ite wo rd to spel l, ‘onomatopoeia’, Will said t h e eve r yd a y wo rd h e often has trouble spelling ‘ b u r r i t o ,’ b e c a u s e h e sometimes mixes up how many ‘r’s and ‘t’s there are.

Record preschool enrolments Baradine Preschool will be starting strong in the new year, due to a record number of enrolments.

by LIZ CUTTS T he P reschool is a nt ic ipat i ng over 3 5 enrolments in 2024.

“We are opening five days a week next year t o ac c om mo d at e t he number of enrolments,” said Baradine preschool director, Lauren Harris.

“The number has been slowly increasing over the past years. “ Un f o r t u n at e ly, th i s ye a r we h ad t o

turn enrolments away, upsetting some families.”

Ms Harris said pr e s cho ol pl ays a n important role in early childhood education. “ Ea rly ch i ld hood education programs are vital in setting children up for future success,” she added. “ Preschool provides a social setting where children can learn and develop at thei r own pace while gaining the

skills needed for primary school.”

Since the Baradine Preschool began operati ng i n 19 9 0 , initially out of the local CWA hall for only one day per week, it has gone from strength to strength and now employs 11 staff.

“In 2012 the Preschool pu r c h a s e d t he lo c a l Uniting Church, with funds raised by the local community,” Ms Harris said.

“ R enovation work was undertaken to repurpose the building into the current facility. “ The Preschool c o m m it t e e h a s a l s o acknowledged the need for a long day-care service for the community and has worked tirelessly in trying to achieve this for a number of years. “ T his project is ready t o commence once funding has been secured.”

WORD

for WORD

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

D o yo u h a ve a n i ck n a m e? I probably have too many. People often called me ‘James’ growing up. My Pa used to say, “You can call me anything you like, as long as it’s not ‘late for dinner’.”

H ow d i d yo u co m e t o l i ve i n Coonabarabran? I moved out to Gwabegar three years ago. A year and a half ago I started my podiatry clinic in town.

What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? I should say podiatry. After doing it for 14 years it seems a lot more interesting to other people. I do get to meet a lot of different people and hear lots of stories. You really get to know people and become a par t of their life.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? A hot bath.

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

Independent, strong and individual.

What is your favourite season and why? Out here it is autumn. The trees in this area are incredible. Especially the she-oaks in Neilson Park. I like the noise of the dry leaves in the wind and the crunch they make.

What gets you through a long road trip? Good music. I like everything – rock, show tunes, punk, it all depends. Music is so accessible these days, I remember needing to budget for the CDs I would buy during uni and reading the lyrics in the covers.

Have you read any good books lately? I just re-read Ann Leckie, she has her ancillary series. She is a sci-fi author.

What is something people might not know about you? When I was

young, I was tap dancer. I did that up until I was 17. I got to make lots of noise. I was never a good ballerina – I stomped too loud.

Do you have a favourite community event? I have a few things I am a part of out here. I am part of Rotary, Days for Girls and the Community Garden group. I love them all.

If you could have anyone around for dinner (dead or alive) who would it be? Jane Austen. I think she would have some very interesting stories. I do like talking to people who enjoy people watching.

And what would you cook them? I do a mean baked mac and cheese.

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? I have been re-watching ‘Frasier’ and there is an episode which has Niles ironing pants. It sounds random, but it is the best slapstick comedy. There is no dialogue, but the scene goes on forever.

What are you doing for Christmas?

Do you have any traditions? We get together as family on Christmas.

New Year’s eve is always big as it is my Grandma’s birthday. This year is pretty special as it will be her 90th birthday.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Treat all people with respect. You don’t always know what people are going through or have been through. Do not be afraid to reach out for help when you need it. We have so much stoicism in Australia, so using those suppor t networks around you is really important.

Who should we chat to next? Nancy Wiese.

Baradine Preschool staff are delighted with the increase in enrolments for next year – Jayde Curtis, Tate Britton, Lauren Harris, Zali Hyde and Tiffany Evans.

WEATHER WATCH During the past week, many regions across Australia were subject to warm to hot and humid conditions with scattered thunderstorms. Rainfalls were very variable, with the odd very heavy rainfalls.

Quite a few places from Victoria right up to outback Queensland have recorded over 100mms for November, while many other places have recorded less than 25mms this month.

Forbes, for example, has recorded only 10mms.

Coonabarabran has recorded 146mms so far this month, making this the third successive November exceeding 100mms; 159mms in November 2022 and 254mms in November 2021.

It was almost equally wet during the three successive very wet Novembers of 1999 to 2001 in Coonabarabran.

It has been very dry

in Coonabarabran since last April and there was a very similar rainfall pattern in 1937, when 130mms fell in the November.

This was the only other similar rainfall pattern which did occur in Coonabarabran in the last 144 years.

The summer of 193738 was warmer than normal, with the 1938 autumn being one of the warmest and driest on record.

At Moree, 109.6mms was recorded so far this month. This followed a very dry July-to-October period of only 35mms.

A very similar rainfall pattern happened at Moree in 1941, when 145.6mms fell in the November.

The summer of 194142 was notably very hot

in our regions, up to 43 degrees during early January. Many other places recorded above average rainfalls in both February and March of 1942.

Further north into Qld, St George has recorded 118mms so far this month, and this followed a very dry period from February right through to October.

The rainfall records for St George show there was almost an identical rainfall pattern from February to October period in 1895.

Both December 1895 and January 1896 were extremely hot months in South Australia, Victoria, NSW and Qld. Heavy rain arrived in February 1896.

BUNGLE RUMBLE: 25 NOVEMBER 2023

The blast that was Bungle Rumble Bungle Rumble has done it again. Despite setbacks the event was a showstopper and highlighted how the community will come together... rain, hail or shine!

by GEORGIA SPENCE The rain did not hold back, h o w e v e r, n e i t h e r d i d t h e community, as Bungle Rumble amassed at Coonabarabran’s showground for one of the most anticipated events of the year.

Head-bopping music and the rumble of community singing, stomping and clapping created an unforgettable atmosphere for all who attended.

While close to 1000 tickets were sold, around 500 attended due to inclement weather conditions.

Weather restraints also led to a late start, however, the show went on.

Volunteer organiser, Kodi Brady said he was happy with how the day turned out, despite the set backs.

“We are feeling very blessed to have pulled it off with the odds of mother nature against us,” Mr Brady said.

“It was a hard gig to get over the start line, but once it got rolling, most of us had a ball – wet and all!”

Cultural dancers from both local and coastal mobs set the scene for unity, respect and connection to occur. They were followed by an eclectic line-up of performers, who put on a show that blasted off into the late evening.

Born and bred local, Rebel Black opened the stage, offering her melodic wisdom through songs and stories about her life and the people in it.

Millie Mills dazzled the town with remarkable vocals and Andy Penkow dedicated his song, ‘Aussie Rain’, to Coonabarabran.

Not long after his set, the rain started sprinkling.

However, the rain was no match for a town ready to rumble, as

the crowd danced to the groove of The Summit champion, Isaac Compton.

As day turned to night, stage lights lit up the Bungle Rumble mural, created by the talented Jules Ruttley.

Her dot work was inspired by the original event poster and represented the Warrumbungle mountains meeting the sunset and stars.

Community spirit was at an alltime high when Chocolate Starfish performed a memorable set in all their rock ‘n roll glory.

Kids were dancing on stage, while lead singer Adam Thompson kept patrons engaged as he jumped down into the crowd for a boogie and a sing-a-long.

Ballz ‘n All topped off the night with classic rock hits, creating many a head-banging moment for the increasingly energetic crowd.

Bungle Rumble was enjoyed by patrons of all ages, including children who gathered to run around with glow-in-the-dark swords and wands.

Market stalls lined the showground, offering local goods and included the Regional Australian Bank, which donated $2000 towards the event.

Bungle Rumble organisers are hoping for the return of the event, with plans for it to be held every second yar.

“Our small team of organisers are grateful to everyone who got involved. The passion, the showdowns, the laughs, the cries and stress all paid off,” Mr Brady said.

“Well done to everyone who braved the weather. Those of you who didn’t – you missed out on an amazing show!”

BUNGLE RUMBLE: 25 NOVEMBER 2023

Chocolate Starfish’s Coona connection Everyone who attended the Bungle Rumble on Saturday will know how good a show Chocolate Starfish can put on, but what you may not know is that the band’s lead singer, Adam Thompson was the deb partner to local woman, Vivian Evans.

by JIMMY WHALAN Mrs Evans said she and Adam went to school together at Wanganui Pa r k H i g h S c h o o l i n Shepparton, Victoria.

“Adam l ived out of town on a dair y farm, but we went to the same high school together, and when the deb came around, I was finally brave enough to ask him to be my deb par tner,” Mrs Evans said.

M r s Eva n s sa i d s he and Adam were actually cook ing buddies in home economics class in high school, and they would get up to all kinds of mischief – including the occasional tea towel fight!

She said the connection through deb partners wasn’t just held by her and Adam, but also their parents.

“My Mum and Dad actually did their debut w ith Adam’s pa rents, s o w e’ve g ot t h a t connection a long way back,” Mrs Evans said.

“So, although I met Adam in high school, my Mum and Dad actually used to hang out with his parents.”

Mrs Evans said she and Adam actually tried to reenact some of their deb dance moves at Bungle Rumble, as they did the Pride of Erin during Ballz n All’s performance on the night.

“It was such a good time, we had lots of fun

and it’s always a laugh with Adam,” Mrs Evans said.

“He’s quite a character, but also a very gentle soul and a caring person.”

AROUND THE SCHOOLS Tooraweenah Public Technology On Fridays, students have been g reatly enjoying learning coding with Sphero Indi. This week they solved mazes with Sphero Indi. What a fun and practical way of seeing coding in action using the Sphero Indi robot.

T h i s we ek w i l l be the final week with the S T E M T4 L I nvent or R o b o t i c s K it s , w it h st udent s c omplet i n g some coding challenges with Indi this Friday.

Cooking with ag produce We are very thankful to Mrs Jenkin for leading the Ag@Toora program with K-6 during the year.

L ast week , student s h a r v e s t e d t he b a by spinach and chives, that they had grown in the STEM T4L hydroponics ‘Air garden’ and made some delicious spinach and fetta gozleme ( T u rk i s h f l at br e ad ) with Mrs Jenkin and Mrs Barry. I’m sure you would agree, the students look like expert chefs creating these delicious flat breads, even making the dough from scratch.

I was very happy to hear that all students tasted the f latbreads (t o s omewh at m i xed r ev iews) a nd t r ied the fetta, ricotta and shredded cheese along with the natural yoghurt that was used to make the flatbread.

It was concluded that the students were fine chefs, producing a lovely crisp flatbread that was fluffy in the middle, but possibly more satisfying for a mature palette!

Science Discovery Project Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming retired teachers, Paul a nd Jo f rom S cience Discovery Project, who travel around to schools, enhancing their knowledge of science with hands on experiments.

T hey amazed ou r students and preschool students in launching a

rocket with air pressure, and investigating electrical currents and how they are generated from spinning copper coil in a magnetic field.

Students saw magnet repel and attract and predicted how gravity

Coonabarabran Public would influence them.

We are very thankful t o P au l a n d J o f o r sharing their extensive knowledge and sparking curiosity in our students for science.

As things wind up for the year at CPS, it is still hectic in and out of the classroom.

Coonabarabran High I n a c om mend able display of academic and personal development, Ye a r 10 s t u d e n t s recently under took a profound ly en r iching excursion to Sydney. The primary objective was to both celebrate their achievements across the junior school and instil a sense of preparedness for the challenges of Year 11 achieved through a meticulously curated ser ies of activ ities desig ned to for ti f y resilience and bolster social cohesion.

The itinerary c ompr i s e d a d iver s e array of activities, each contr ibuti ng t o the students’ holistic growth.

F rom the expanse of the ice-skating rink to the strateg ic f i nesse demanded by ten-pin bowling, the excursion blended enjoyment with the cultivation of valuable skills.

T he z e n it h o f t he experience materialised during the wakeboarding

sessions and the treetops ropes and zipline courses.

These activities not only showcased the students’ mettle, but also afforded them a profound sense of accomplishment.

A m i d s t t h e camaraderie of the minigolf course and the shared enjoyment of a cinematic outing, students found an opportunity to enjoy new activities they have not commonly experienced.

Staff who attended the excursion expressed gratification with the s t ud e nt s ’ b e h av i o u r and engagement, emphasising that the excursion served not only as a source of enjoyment, but also as a crucible for t he development of vital life skills and the forging of enduring interpersonal bonds.

Upon thei r return, Year 10 now commence their two weeks of work experience where they will continue to develop relevant workplace skills.

Four boys had caught fish for the weigh-in on the Sunday afternoon, with around 30 locals attending to see what had been caught.

T he w i n ner of the junior section was Sam Harris, boasting a decent sized Yellow Belly of 1.12kg, with Will Harris and Jack Dallas’ fish being within a couple of grams.

The sub-junior fisherman of the day was Lincoln Anderson, who had great fun pulling in his fish.

The boys had caught their Yellow Bellies at Lake Keepit and used shrimp for bait, but the one that got away was a 70cm long Cod that they will try again for next time.

B ob Mey r ick , club president, had a haul of four fish, with two of them over a kilo each to claim the senior men’s prize. Leonie Turner had also caught a good-sized fish to claim the women’s prize and their yellow bellies had been caught at Collarenebri.

Carp Bash The next competition will be held during the school holidays and is a ‘Carp Bash’, so it will be a great chance for all of the local kids to get out

fishing and win some great prizes. With carp becoming a real problem in our waterways, this is a great opportunity to

have a bit of a clean out of these fish which have become a pest.

Mr Meyrick said he is keen for local children in

the town to join in, to keep them entertained during the time off school. The club committee is also hoping that the incentive

of some good prizes for their catches will be a good reason for local children to take part.

The Assassins only had five players for this game, however, the Jokers were on fire and played the better darts.

Knockout final 22 November Golf Club Unicorns 7 (Norm Buchanan 100) d Bowlo Jokers 4 (Alex Nixon 121).

Congratulations to the Unicorns, who were the winners of the knockout and the Butch Muller Memorial Trophy.

The trophy is a memorial for Barry Muller, known as ‘Butch’, who loved darts and used to play for the Golf Club

Unicorns.

Well, another year is over and we all enjoyed a great competition this year. Thanks to all the players and we hope to see you all again next year.

The presentation night won’t be held until next year, as with Christmas drawing near and with many things on, it’s made it hard to find a date to suit.

We would like to thank

the Coona Times and the radio station for publishing and airing our darts’ reports, and the Coona Bowling Club and Coona Golf Club for having the darts’ players at their venues.

Hope to see everyone next year for darts.

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all from Missile, Todd Dundas, Caine Thompson and Mel Thompson.

Coolah celebrates Castlereagh League comeback!

Rebounding back from a seven-year hiatus, the Coolah Roos will once again compete in the Castlereagh League competition after their bid to rejoin the group was unanimously endorsed by the nine existing Castlereagh clubs at the league’s annual general meeting on Sunday.

by BRYSON LUFF Back in 2001, the Roos was a Castlereagh Rugby League foundation club and their re-admission to the competition will mean that 10 clubs will be f ighting it out for premiership honours in 2024.

Receiv ing g reat encou ragement a nd support from the Coolah c ommu n it y, the club is looking forward to packing out Bowen Oval on home games next year and, undoubtedly, they will!

It is a great story that Coolah brothers Chanse a nd C a s ey B u r g e s s , will co-captain coach the first-grade side in 2024 after they opposed each other in the 2023 Peter McDonald Shield grand final, with Chanse playing for Dubbo CYMS and Casey for the Mudgee Dragons.

It is rumoured that t h e i r we l l - q u a l i f i e d father, St eve , m ight have some input into the

coaching side of things, while brothers Austin and Jake will also be taking the field to give the Coolah side not only a family look about it, but also some highly talented footballers to kick start their 2024 campaign.

Such is the enthusiasm in the town that unofficial training for the club is already attracti ng ver y go od numbers.

The excitement about Coolah’s re-admission to the Castlereagh League competition is not only restricted to the firstgrade side, with former Western Rams League Tag representative Tori Canham taking the reins as league tag coach.

Tori has been awarded the Castlereagh League Tag Player of the Year awa r d o n nu me r ou s occasions and she will bring a wealth of talent and experience with her to what is expected to be a young, but enthusiastic squad.

The Coolah Roos have attracted good numbers to pre-season training, in light of their acceptance back into the Castlereagh League competition in 2024 after a seven-year hiatus.

AROUND THE TRAPS CHICKEN RUN The Coonabarabran G o l f C lu b’s S u n d ay morning chicken run was played over the front nine on 26 November, with Butter Jones and Brad Weatherall in the winners’ circle, with 25 points.

Step in and save Moree intermodal overpass: MP Member for Northern Tablelands Adam Marshall has called on the NSW government to salvage the $44 million Moree intermodal overpass.

Mr Marshall took to the floor of the NSW Parliament to condemn the Commonwealth government for scrapping the project and to call on the state government to come to the table.

The federal government announced its withdrawal of support for projects across the

nation following the release of the independent strategic review of the Infrastructure Investment Program.

Mr Marshall said the federal government’s decision failed to appreciate the importance of the overpass, a key plank of the $224.8 million Moree Special Activation Precinct (SAP), the value of the agricultural sector in the Moree Plains and the impact on the SAP. “This is a callous and

Dr Janelle Montgomery to lead CottonInfo After an extensive recruitment process, Dr Janelle Montgomery has been named as the new program lead for the Australian cotton industry’s extension program, CottonInfo.

An industry leader in her own right, Dr Montgomery is a familiar and trusted face, having been part of the CottonInfo team since its establishment in 2012; first as a technical lead for water use efficiency, then taking on the regional extension officer (REO) role in the Gwydir Valley in 2017.

Based in Moree, Dr Montgomery has managed the REO team for the past five years, and said she feels incredibly excited by the opportunity to take on the Program Lead position.

“I’ve built a career on research and development and making sure that growers come on the journey too, by helping them to improve on-farm efficiencies and practices,” Dr Montgomery said.

“It’s been such a privilege to be able to do this over my years with CottonInfo promoting best practice on the ground. Now being able to further promote this by helping to set the strategic direction of CottonInfo is something I’m very much looking forward to,” she said.

CottonInfo is a joint partnership between the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC), Cotton Seed Distributors, and Cotton Australia.

The Program Lead role is funded by CRDC. CRDC acting executive director Allan Williams said Dr Montgomery’s appointment reflects her incredible mix of research, development and extension experience and genuine passion for the Australian cotton industry.

“The CottonInfo program is something that other cotton growing areas of the world look at with interest and envy, and Janelle has played a significant role in building the program’s strong reputation,” Mr Williams said.

“Throughout her decade-plus association with CottonInfo, she’s worked tirelessly to not just support growers and consultants, but also the three industry partners who jointly facilitate the program.

“To have someone as respected and passionate as Janelle leading CottonInfo into its 12th year is a massive advantage for the cotton industry, and on behalf of CRDC and the CottonInfo Management Committee, I welcome her to the new role.”

RIGHT: Dr Janelle Montgomery, of Moree, has been announced as the new program lead for CottonInfo.

misinformed decision by the federal government which could have massive consequences,” Mr Marshall told parliament.

“This overpass was to carry all the road trains and heavy vehicles coming from the west of Moree, from the Newell Highway, over the inland rail and into the Special Activation Precinct and rail intermodal.

“By axing the overpass and ripping away the road train access from the west, the

Commonwealth could has derailed the viability and attractiveness of the Moree Special Activation Precinct, putting thousands of new jobs and millions of dollars of capital investment at risk.”

Mr Marshall said the business case underpinning the Special Activation Precinct, wholly-funded by the state government, was based upon the intermodal overpass being constructed to facilitate the new East-West heavy vehicle connector road.

“The overpass and associated connector road was all about ensuring the safest and most efficient road train and heavy vehicle access to the SAP and new intermodal,” he said.

“This would remove those vehicles from residential areas and urban streets of Moree, which were not designed to take that volume and of heavy vehicle traffic.

Inquiry looking into insurers’ Marshall calls response to major flood claims An inquiry is currently being conducted into insurers’ responses to 2022 major flood claims, with affected people from the North West called to participate.

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton is encouraging residents who experienced the devastation of the 2022 floods to take part in a survey on the process of claiming insurance as a result of this period of natural disaster.

Repeated flooding along the Namoi and Gwydir-Mehi rivers was experienced between September and November, with the rivers reaching major flood level at many locations along the catchments.

“The 2022 floods caused immense destruction to parts of the Parkes electorate, with water infiltrating streets, homes, businesses and whole communities,” Mr Coulton said.

“Following the catastrophic impact of flooding, many affected residents would have made claims with their insurers to try to recoup some of the costs of cleaning up the damage, and that is what this inquiry is looking into.

“I’ve been contacted by many residents from areas as far afield as Gunnedah, Wee Waa and Narrabri who have raised their concerns with me about the struggle to

access insurance.

“There have also been complaints about the high costs of insurance following these floods, which have risen in many areas.

“The House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics wishes to maximise opportunities for flood-affected individuals to contribute to the inquiry, with the online survey and submissions remaining open until September 30, 2024.”

The terms of reference list the matters to be considered as part of the inquiry.

The experiences of policyholders before, during and after making claims, is one of the matters.

Other items include the different types of insurance contracts

offered by insurers and held by policyholders; timeframes for resolving claims; obstacles to resolving claims, including factors internal to insurers and external, such as access to disaster-hit regions, temporary accommodation, labour market conditions and supply chains; insurer communication with policyholders; accessibility and affordability of hydrology reports and assessments to policyholders; affordability of insurance coverage to policyholders; claimants’ and insurers’ experiences of internal dispute resolution processes; and the impact of land use planning decisions and disaster mitigation efforts on the availability and affordability of insurance.

“All of this has been ripped away by the Commonwealth and left our community and the future of the SAP up in the air,” Mr Marshall said.

“I fully support the calls from Moree Plains Shire Council and Member for Parkes Mark Coulton for the Commonwealth to urgently review this disgraceful decision.

“Given the importance of the Moree SAP to the economy and its impact on a significant NSW project, the state government must also lean in and request their mates in Canberra to reverse this cut.

“Failing that, we request the state government come to the table and pony up the required cash to deliver the overpass and ensure the full potential of the Moree SAP is delivered, as committed.

“I’m utterly appalled by this political-driven decision by the Commonwealth and will do everything I possibly can to have wrong righted.”

Addressing the review of the national program, Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Catherine King said many projects lacked proper planning, didn’t have informed costings and weren’t ready for Commonwealth investment.

“The review has found an estimated $33 billion in nine cost pressures across all projects in the program with a high risk that that figure would increase, and for those not currently under construction that figure the report says is around $14.2 billion,” she said.

“Some are projects … have been subject to the hard decision of not investing Commonwealth funding at this time.

“These decisions do ensure that the investment pipeline from the Commonwealth remains affordable, delivers better outcomes for the Australian people in the long term and are aligned with government priorities.

“The government is committed to delivering infrastructure that builds Australia and builds lives.

The review of the Infrastructure Investment Program and the government’s response allows us to get on with the job of delivering infrastructure that creates jobs, helps wages to grow and to make our communities better to live in and more connected for all of us.”

Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton said after taking more than double the expected 90 days, the Labor government’s

I’m utterly appalled by this political-driven decision by the Commonwealth and will do everything I possibly can to have wrong righted.

Independent Strategic Review of Infrastructure has now been released, with key infrastructure projects for both the Parkes electorate and the nation cut from funding.

“I’m furious that the Labor government has stripped the guts from projects which would have secured immense benefits for both the Parkes electorate and the rest of the country,” Mr Coulton said.

“The Minister for Infrastructure has seen fit to cut the Moree Intermodal Overpass and the Northern NSW Inland Port at Narrabri which are crucial elements of the Inland Rail.

“I’ve just had to call the mayors from these areas to let them know that all of the investment and planning put into these expected projects will now grind to a halt, shattering these areas’ projections for growth and development.

“People have staked their livelihoods on the reliability of the Inland Rail as a future driver for growth, as its’ purpose is to connect the productivity of inland New South Wales with the rest of the country.

“To have these key pieces in the puzzle effectively scrapped is devastating.”

NSW Country Mayors Association chairman, Gunnedah Shire mayor Jamie Chaffey said the federal government’s decision will have a dramatic impact on productivity in regional and rural communities.

“Financial sustainability of our councils, coupled with a strong focus of maintaining rates, fees and charges at an affordable level for our residents are all under threat with the announcement from the Labor government that all future Commonwealth funding will require a 50 per cent contribution from local government for any joint project.

“Historically, most projects have been funded at a rate of 80 per cent Commonwealth and 20 per cent local government.”

Long Journey Home for Endangered Quolls

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Jenny Aitchison, left, discusses the Newell Highway overtaking lanes with Warrumbungle Shire mayor Ambrose Doolan, Narrabri Shire mayor Darrell Tiemens and Member for Barwon Roy Butler.

Overtaking lanes a boost for highway travellers The Newell Highway has undergone a substantial transformation with the completion of 38 new overtaking lanes.

This milestone achievement is anticipated to bring about faster, safer, and more reliable journeys for residents, tourists, and freight operators traversing the extensive length of the highway.

The comprehensive project, spanning four years, aimed to construct approximately 60 kilometres of new overtaking lanes along the stretch from Tocumwal in the southern part of the state to Narrabri in the north.

The completion of these overtaking lanes marks a crucial step in enhancing the overall infrastructure and travel experience for those using this vital transportation corridor. Particularly noteworthy are the eight newly constructed overtaking lanes in the Pilliga region, strategically positioned between Coonabarabran and Narrabri. These lanes are now operational at key locations: Pilliga: Located approximately 15 kilometres north of Coonabarabran.

Dandry: Positioned about 30 kilometres north of Coonabarabran.

Near the Pilliga Rest Area: Approximately 63 kilometres north of Coonabarabran.

Near the Sir William Bridges Rest Area: Roughly 24 kilometres south of Narrabri.

The Australian government contributed $60 million toward the construction of 19 of the overtaking lanes.

State member for Barwon, Roy Butler said this is a significant improvement in safety along the Newell Highway. It also means a significant reduction in time for people using the road, he said.

“This will translate to savings for people who travel regularly along the highway, also lowering costs for people transporting produce

or livestock along that route,” Mr Butler said. “It is good to see the government making such an investment in the safety and convenience of regional people and we look forward to seeing more projects like this, designed to increase safety and cut travel times.”

Federal Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government Minister, Catherine King said the four Pilliga sites had been selected to maximise safety, efficiency and value for money.

“Building overtaking lanes in pairs, as we’ve been able to do through the Pilliga, means we can maximise efficiencies in terms of the environmental and geotechnical investigations we carry out at each site, establishing one site compound instead of two and savings in terms of construction time and traffic control,” Ms King said.

“With all eight overtaking lanes now completed, road users have an extra 12 kilometres of overtaking opportunities between Coonabarabran and Narrabri.”

NSW Regional Transport and Roads Minister, Jenny Aitchison was recently in Narrabri for a series of announcements said the Newell Highway Program Alliance ensured a swift and innovative mode of delivery.

“The NHPA was created in 2019 to deliver the 38 additional overtaking lanes in four years instead of the likely eight years it would have taken to fund and deliver this work using traditional procurement methods,” Ms Aitchison said.

“As well as new overtaking lanes, the NHPA has also delivered six road safety improvements along sections of the Highway including wider shoulders and centre lines to reduce off-road and head-on crashes, and the installation of audio tactile line marking (rumble strips) on the edges and centre of the highway.

Taronga’s quest to restore the endangered Chuditch to its former range has reached another milestone with 11 individuals released to Australian Wildlife Conservancy’s (AWC) Mt Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary on Badimia and Widi Country in the West Australian Wheatbelt, after a more than 4,000-kilometre journey by road and air from Dubbo in NSW. Also known as Idnya or Western Quoll, the Chuditch were bred at Taronga Western Plains Zoo on Wiradjuri Country, within the 110-hectare feral predator-proof Taronga Sanctuary.

“Taronga’s crucial conservation breeding program commenced in Dubbo in 2022 with the aim of reintroducing the Chuditch to conservation areas where the species has become locally extinct following European settlement,” said Taronga

“Taronga is proud to collaborate with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy on reintroduction efforts for this critical native predator.”

Conservation keepers moved the quolls from the Taronga Sanctuary breeding facility to purpose-built transport crates to commence the

Our post-release monitoring efforts will be ramping up again to monitor these new individuals using a combination of radiotracking and remote cameras.”

About the Chuditch Chuditch are WA’s largest endemic carnivore, and one of four species of quoll in Australia, related to the Tasmanian Devil. They have a relatively short life span of only three to four years and are generally solitary outside of the breeding season.

Taronga’s Chuditch conservation breeding program commenced in 2022 in Dubbo, thanks to a generous philanthropic donation from the Kinghorn Foundation. Within the first year of the program, 14 offspring were born from just four breeding pairs, and 15 individuals were released into the wild at South Australia’s Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park.

In the second year of the program, new founders were selected in collaboration with the Western Australian Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA), and the South Australian Department for Environment and Water (DEW), to introduce fresh genetics into the program.

journey to Perth via a combination of road and air travel.

“Since the commencement of the program, Taronga has successfully bred 37 joeys, all intended for wild release. This wonderful achievement was made possible thanks to an expert, multi-disciplinary team and the Taronga Sanctuary which was first opened with philanthropic support in 2018 and has well and truly shown its impact as a conservation powerhouse in NSW.”

The Chuditch spent two nights undergoing monitoring at Native Animal Rescue, before the final leg of the journey to Mount Gibson Wildlife Sanctuary, five hours outside of Perth. There they were fitted with VHF radio tracking collars before joining the newly established, 34-strong population of Chuditch released at the sanctuary earlier this year.

The Chuditch was once found across 70% of mainland Australia but has been reduced to just 5% of its former range and is extinct in the wild in NSW, NT and QLD. One of four species of quoll in Australia, Chuditch are WA’s largest endemic carnivore.

“We are thrilled to see that Mt Gibson’s Western Quoll population has settled in and is showing promising signs of successful breeding,” said Georgina Anderson, AWC Senior Field Ecologist.

“The cohort of 11 individuals were carefully selected from the

“The new individuals from Taronga’s breeding program add to the genetic mix of our population.

Last Minute Fruit cake

This cake doesn’t need to be made weeks ahead of Christmas, but can be made well ahead if time allows.

It’s also easier to use 1 1/4 kg of mixed dried fruit in place of the fruit listed.

• 2½ cups (375g) sultanas • 1½ cups (250g) chopped raisins • 1 2/3 cups (250g) currants • 3/4 cup (125g) mixed peel • ½ cup (125g) halved glace cherries • 1/4 cup (60g) chopped glace pineapple • 1/4 cup (60g) chopped glace apricots • 250g butter • 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

• ½ cup brandy, rum or orange juice • ½ cup water • 2 teaspoons grated orange rind • 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind • 1 tablespoon treacle • 5 eggs, lightly beaten • 1 3/4 cups plain flour • 1/3 cup self raising flour • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda Line a deep 23cm. round or 20cm. square cake pan with three layers of paper, bringing paper 5cm. above edge of pan. Combine fruit, butter, sugar, brandy and water in pan, stir over heat until butter is melted and sugar is dissolved. Simmer, covered 10 minutes; cool to room temperature.

November 30-December 6, 2023

Stir rinds, treacle and eggs, then sifted dry ingredients into fruit mixture.

Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan, decorate top of cake with blanched almonds and whole glace cherries, if desired. Bake in slow 150c oven about two hours, or until cake is cooked when tested. Cover hot cake with foil, cool in pan.

To store: When completely cool, wrap in layers of cling wrap, foil and newspaper and store somewhere cool and dry.

• Fruit can be marinated in the alcohol for up to a week, in a glass jar or a bowl, turning or stirring regularly.
