Fire closes Coona Chicks The fast actions of staff and firefighters went a long way to saving a John Street building when a blaze took hold at Coona Chicks takeaway on Saturday, 25 March.

by CHRIS WARD Fire and Rescue NSW responded to the s i t u a t i o n w h e n t h ey re ce i ve d t h e ca l l at 5.50pm.

S t a t i o n 2 6 4 Coonabarabran acting captain Zachary Estens credited the quick reaction from Coona Chicks staff members as instrumental in helping to save the building. “ T h ey d i d a g r e a t job, they did everything right,” he said.

“The staff put a fire blanket on the blaze, which actually helped to stop it from spreading

f u r t h e r, a n d t h ey evacuated the building.

“The f i re was quite intense and was putting out a lot of heat when we first arrived on the scene.”

Mr Estens said the business had previously put in place preventative measures, including a reinforced steel wall behind the deep fryer, which also assisted in saving the building.

Af te r ex ti ng ui sh i ng the b l a ze, F i re a nd Rescue crew members remained on the scene for a further two hours to monitor the site.

Police housing on the most-wanted list Being forced to live in sub-standard housing is making regional police work unappealing to many officers.

According to the Police A sso ciation of NS W ( PA NSW ), remote and regional police officers are being forced to live in unmaintained homes that, at times, have been described as “sometimes dangerous conditions”.

The Binnaway homestead has been highlighted as arguably one of the worst, along with Moree, Collie, B o u rk e , Wa l g e t t a nd Walcha.

The association believes the poor l iv i n g c ond it ion s a r e contributing to retention and attraction issues of some country areas.

PA N S W p r e s i d e n t , Kevin Morton has urged the government to make a significant investment i n pol ice housi ng as an incentive to attract off icers to work in regional areas.

He said officers had raised serious concerns w ith the sta nda rds of

housing they have been provided.

“We should not have a situation where officers are asked to up their lives to go bush and be forced to accept sub-standard living arrangements,” Mr Morton said.

“Binnaway is one of the worst there is.

“Serving in a remote community is an impor ta nt role, but emergency ser vices workers should not have to live in unmaintained proper ties wh ich puts their health at risk.”

Concerns A mon g t he hou si n g concerns raised are reports of peeling lead p a i nt , br ow n wat er, cracks in walls, uneven f loor i ng, mou ld and dampness.

Officers are placed in police housing, managed

by Property NSW, when they are required to work in a regional or remote area on a long term but

not permanent basis.

“Police officers should have the same standard of housing available to any other public sector worker who is entitled to housing, regardless of whether it is in metropolitan or regional NSW,” Mr Morton said. “ M a ny pol ice love work i ng i n reg iona l and rural communities th r oughout the st at e , but they shou ld n’t be forced to sacrifice having safe and clean housing in order to work there. “ We ’ r e a s k i n g t h e next NSW Government t o ma ke a sig n i f ica nt increase in fund ing to P roper ty NSW to ma i nta i n the ex isti ng stock and replace housing which is no longer fit for pu r pose t o ensu re a l l pol ice housi ng is of a suitable standard.”

The NSW police media unit was contacted, but declined to comment.

The Binnaway police residence is sub-standard according to the the Police Association of NSW.

Butler retains Barwon Barwon residents have again put their faith in the man and not the party after re-electing Roy Butler at the NSW State election – this time as an Independent.

Back in 2 019 voters made history by electing Mr Butler (who at the time was a part of the Shooters and Fishers Party) as the first candidate not from a major party.

The seat had formerly been held by the Nationals since 1950.

Mr Butler said he was victorious in the election de spit e t he Nat ion a l s pouring “a lot of resources and time into trying to win the seat back.” “ F o r t u n a t e l y, t h e electorate decided that they a r e not r eady t o languish again under a National Party member a nd h av e t r u s t e d me again to represent them,” Mr Butler said. “ T he nu mbers show that it was not a close race. At midday today (Monday, 27 March) I was on 4 ​ 6.41 percent primary vote, and 63.47 percent two-party preferred.

“The voters have said that they do not want a major party.”

M r Butler sa id he believes he was reele c t ed due t o hav i ng proven himself in his first term by bringing record funding into the region he represented. “ I bel ieve that they have seen how effective it is to have a member of the crossbench in a tight parliament standing up for reg iona l NSW,” he said. “ O ver t he l a s t fou r

years I have been able t o s h i ne t he l i g ht on problems and needs of the people in regional, rural and remote NSW, wh ich has resu lted i n record funding f lowing into Barwon. “ T he s l i m m aj o r it y held by the new Labor Government means we have ​the opportunity to keep that going and to build on the successes of my first term.”

And, of course, after the big win M r Butler was full of praise for his t e a m , volu nt e er s a nd supporters. “ We have all worked hard over the last four years to listen to constituents and to follow up on their concerns,” he said.

“I am grateful to all of those who helped out dur ing the election, putti ng up sig ns on t r e es or on thei r ow n homes, businesses and properties.

“Also, to the teams of volunteers who handed out at polling booths. “ Without you th is historic result would not have been possible.”

Orange representative Ph i l l ip D onat o, who joi ned M r But ler l a st yea r i n leav i ng the S ho ot er s F i sher s a nd Fa rmers Pa r ty t o r u n as an Independent, blew away his rivals in the election, getting up by an impressive margin.

Country life on horizon for Coona’s Young Woman Maddi McGill is riding high as Coonabarabran’s Young Woman of the Year and dreams of running her own property.

by CHRIS WARD T he C o on aba rabra n Show S o c iet y ’s You ng Woman of the Year has country coursing through her veins.

M add i sta r t ed l i fe on a cattle station in Queensland b e for e mo v i n g t o t he Wa r r u mbu ngle S h i r e , where she completed her schooling.

Now, at 2 0 yea rs of age, M add i d reams of returning to the lifestyle she left behind.

“At the moment I ’m a t e a c he r ’s a id e , but eventually I want to go back to Queensland and run my own property,” she said.

Her foray into the Young

Woman competition might be her ticket to help her realise her dream.

“The thing I like about the competition the most is the opportunities that arise with the role,” she said. “ I’ll get to meet new people and create networks and have the opportunity to build those networks.

“I had a lot of fun at the Coonabarabran Show. I loved every minute of it.”

In the interim, Maddi spends most of her spare time travelling across the country to compete with horses in hacking and show riding.

While confident in her ability and knowledge of the agriculture industry,

Maddi said she wasn’t going to get too far ahead of herself when it came to the Zone competition, which will be held next February at Lithgow.

“What I think they look for is someone who is able to introduce themselves, be well mannered and have a n ag r icu ltu re background,” she said.

“There will be a formal dinner where they will c h o o s e t h e c h a mp i o n and r unner-up, so I ’m confident without being cocky.

“I’ve had a look at some of the others who have won in previous years and I think I stack up well against them.

“Meanwhile, I just need to keep up to date with

the news and everything going on in the ag industry.”

T he You n g Wom a n competition encourages t he pa r t ic ipat ion a nd subsequent awa reness of r u ra l women’s contribution and involvement in both local communities and rural NSW. Entrants have a genuine interest in and knowledge of rural issues and are ambassadors for young women in NSW. Coonabarabran Young Wo m a n c o - o r d i n at o r, Kel ly L eed ham sa id organisers are calling on mor e you ng l ad ies between the ages of 18 and 24 to take part in the next competition.

Kearney contests Lions’ youth award “The measure of individual success is as much in the journey as in the outcome,” said Fred Kearney in an impromptu speech which contributed to him qualifying for the state final of this year’s Lions Youth of the Year competition.

Fred, who hails from Coonabarabran, is a Year 12 student and senior prefect at The Armidale School (TAS) and a true all-rounder. L ast year alone he won the under 19 Au s t r a l i a n i ndo or rowing championships, played for the NSW under 18’s Barbarian XV that were runners up in the Au st r a l i a n S cho olb oy Rugby Championships, and was a grand-finalist in the National Virtual Debating Competition.

Representing the Armidale-Dumaresq Lions Club at the Lions Youth of the Year District final held at Urunga Bowling Club recently, Fred was announced as both the public speaking winner and overa l l w inner at the event, which brought together regional finalists from Gunnedah, Coffs Harbour, Quirindi and Taree.

For the public speaking component of the competition finalists were given just seconds to deliver a two-minute speech responding to two topics - the first on how to measure ind iv idual success, and the second asking what three items they would take if they were to be isolated on a desert island for three months, and why.

Set your own goals “Success should not be measured by winning, but more, by how you set your own goals and the way you enjoy the journey you take to achieve what you have set out to do,” Fred said in response to the first impromptu topic thrown to contestants.

Drawing on the record d r o u g h t o f 2 0 1 8 -1 9 , Fred’s prepared speech questioned the notion

that tough times should ma ke pe ople t ougher.

Instead, he proposed that allowing for vulnerability to seek help for yourself and others will ultimately make for healthier and stronger individuals and communities.

E a rl ier i n t he d ay, contestants were inter v iewed by f ive judges on their academic,

sporting, cultural, leadership and community pursuits, which accounted for 70 per cent of the overall marks.

Achievements “ T he d i s t r i c t f i n a l was a wonderful display of the ach ievements of other young leaders from regional NSW. The competition is a g reat experience for developing

public speaking skills and the ability to convey information in an interview,” Fred said.

“We were all grateful to Urunga Lions Club for hosting the final and I’m looking forward to the experience that will come with the state final.”

The state final of the competition will be held in Bathurst on 1 April.

TAS student Fred Kearney will represent Lions District N1 in the State final of the Lions Youth of the Year.

Coona vet clinic WORD for WORD on the move?

Relocating a veterinary clinic is not a straight forward process, so the owners of Coonabarabran Veterinary Surgery have started thinking ahead.

by CHRIS WARD T he v e t c l i n i c m ay relocate from its current prem ises i n Da lga r no Street w ith owners, John Bowman and Chris Hallett, having identified a more suitable premises just a few blocks away in Cassilis Street.

The joint owners have their eye on the former Experteeth Dental surgery building, with Mr

Bowman describing it as a “much better facility.”

“We saw it come up for sale and we thought, ‘here is our chance’,” he said. “ It ’s a muc h b et t er facility with better access that would suit us.”

While the deal is far from done, Mr Bowman said they wanted to be ready to move, so have put their existing facility on the market.

But it may not be as

easy as buying, selling and moving into the new premises, as the desired bu i ld i n g i s c u r r ent ly zoned as residential.

“It’s with the solicitor at the moment, trying to see if we can get it rezoned or get an exemption,” Mr Bowman said.

“Either way, it’s going to take a bit of time to sort out.”

If the pair miss out on the old dental surgery

bu i ld i ng, M r B owma n said they would continue t o op er at e f r om t hei r current position. “ We don’t h ave a ny other spots identified, so if we miss out on it we will just take our building off the market,” he said.

The veterinary business was purchased b y t h e p a i r i n 2 010 , relocating to its current pr em i s e s a few ye a r s later.

Voice referendum question finalised

RILEY MILLS

Last week, the Federal Government finalised the wording of the question for the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum.

by JIMMY WHALAN L at er th is yea r, Australians will be asked the question: “A proposed l aw: t o alter th e C on stituti on t o recog ni se th e F irst Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.

D o you approve this proposed alteration?”

As previously reported in the Coonabarabran Times, the question for the referendum does not provide specific details as to how the Voice would operate but, rather, asks the Australian public if they would approve of the principle of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice to Parliament.

The government has also finalised the wording

of t he add it ion s t h at wou ld be made t o the constitution, should the referendum succeed.

T he word i ng st at es t h a t t h e Vo i c e “ m ay make representations” to parliament on matters relating to Indigenous people.

It a l s o s t at e s t h at parliament would have the power to make laws about the composition, function,

powers, and procedures of the Voice.

T hough the date on wh ich the referendum will take place is yet to be announced, an official pamphlet detailing both the ‘yes’ and ‘no’ campaigns w i l l be d istr ibuted t o voters to help them make a well-rounded decision on whether these changes to the constitution should go forward.

Moorambilla: back with a bang Team Moorambilla is back on the road, visiting schools throughout the Warrumbungle region.

by LIZ CUTTS A r t i st ic d i r e c t or of the awa rd-w i n n i ng Moorambilla Voices multiarts program, Michelle Leonard and her team are selecting primary and secondary students from Baradine to Bourke, and all towns in between, to participate in the annual residency camps, video recordings and tours.

In August each year, over 300 students attend camp in Baradine, where they dance, sing, compose, create, play drums and learn about the cultural traditions and stories of their landscape.

This is delivered in pa r tnersh ip w ith professional musicians, performers, composers, choreographers and visual artists.

Now in its 18th year, M s L e on a r d s a id t he workshops form the backbone of the creative music program and allow every child to experience some Moorambilla magic.

“Connecting with s cho ol s a nd wat ch i ng the children grow up is beautiful; you see them every year and you are watching them grow,” Ms Leonard said.

“Their voices and their lives are changing, but they know that I am going to come and cherish their skills and their joy and put them into an ensemble that will make them really happy.

“Over the years, M o or a m bi l l a’s s k i l l development workshops have been delivered for free in schools across NSW

to over 42,000 children.

Now that’s a lot of love, laughter and singing.”

Designed for students f r om Ye a r s 3 -1 2 , t he workshops focus on music literacy and support the development of confidence, self-esteem, resilience, teamwork and creativity.

Ms Leonard said that a spectacular cultural shift has been the biggest change she has seen over the years.

“We have really helped start conversations around inclusion and respect, not just for reg iona l a nd remot e ch i ld ren and communities to be respected and included in artistic conversations, but about how we connect to Country, and how amazing and glorious the heritage and the worldview of this Country is,” added Ms Leonard.

“What is more, we have done it all through the vehicle of arts.”

Positivity “When I first started, it was a lot more of a str uggle t o f ind those spaces t o a l low those positive conversations to happen. “ Now, instead of me initiating, the children that have gone through the pr og ra m a r e a l s o really positive and they see the benefits of the Mo ora mbi l la pr og ra m for their worldview, their mental health, as well as for the way they want to live their lives.

“A lot of studies say that commun ities a nd children that sing together have better mental health outcomes; they have this

c ol le c t ive pu r su it for a common goal that is positive and beneficial to emotional and physical health.

“We sing when we want to express happiness, we sing, and we dance when we want to try and work through sadness. We sing; it is a normal human thing that is believed to be prespeech. “ But t o have the opportunity do it in the language from the area

Lester was promoted to corporal and the entire unit was sent back to Australia to recuperate and to replace depleted ranks – casualty rate was 93 per cent. It was i n Austra l ia that Lester discovered that he had Malaria and was assigned to training new recruits at Cowra. It was here that he was promoted to the rank of sergeant.

Lester was discharged i n 19 4 5 . I n 19 47 h i s brother-in-law, Sam Woo, offered Lester work in C o on aba r abr a n a s he owned several shops – grocery, hardware and drapery. Lester and his w i fe de c ide d t o m a ke the move as Sam’s wife, Madge, and Mercia were sisters and she was happy t o come t o l ive i n the country In the late 1950s Lester decided on a change of employment and applied for the rates clerk position at Coonabarabran S h i r e C ou nc i l . Under the g uidance of the t hen sh i r e clerk A le c G ou ld , L est er stud ied his L ocal G overnment Clerk’s Course and being successful was promoted t o deputy sh i re clerk.

Subsequent to the retirement of the shire clerk i n 19 6 3 , L e st er was promoted t o the position of shire clerk and remained in that position until his retirement in

1985. Things began to hu m u n d e r L e s t e r ’s ad m i n i st rat ion – new roads, a n a i r por t was built, sewer introduced into the town and the Siding Spring Observatory constructed.

L e st er a nd Mer c i a achieved something that they never hoped t o ach ieve wh ich wa s welcoming and shaking the hand of the next heir to the British Royal Throne – now King Charles III, when the Prince came to Coonabarabran in 1974 to open the Observatory.

Lester recalled that when he wa s i nt r o duc e d t o Prince Charles as shire clerk Charles replied – “So, you are the one who does all the work.”

L ester a nd Mercia had three children Ruth (1946), Mark (1953) and A nd r ew (19 5 5 ). T hey resided in Charles Street in the home Lester had built in late 1940s until he sold the house and bu i lt a br ick home on the cor ner of Cassi l is a nd R ober t s on St r e et in the early 1970s. This remained his family home until his return to Sydney following his retirement.

Lester was predeceased by h is w i fe Mer cia i n 1981, son Andrew in 1991 (following an air accident) and his daughter Ruth in 2020.

I n 19 8 4 wh i le sh i re clerk, Lester was visited by two Japanese gentlemen with a view to establishing an

Obser vation Centre in Coonabarabran to observe Halley’s Comet in 1985/86.

Hank Sato established the Observatory at the Coonaba rabran G ol f Club. T he promotion attracted more than 5000 visitors from Japan, which boosted the economy of Coonabarabran. Lester has had a long a nd endur ing fr iendship with Hank and his wife, Masaka, who visited him weekly for a meal until his death.

In 1985 Lester reti red and was g iven a retirement reception by the community and awarded ‘Citizen of the Ye a r Aw a r d ’ f o r h i s contribution to the town of Coonabarabran. He was inaugural secretary of the Cooinda Coonabarabran Committee and was instr umental in its establishment and construction.

Lester returned to live in Sydney to be closer to family and purchased a unit at Eastwood, where he resided at the time of his death. He became the secreta r y of the Corporate Body and held this position for over 10 yea rs. He was a lways g iv ing a helping hand and good with his hands – if someone wanted some painting to be done, a piece of furniture mended, a desk made –– ask Lester and he would come in a jiff and do a marvellous job at no charge.

He a lso had g reat

culinary skills. His mu m c o oke d t he b e s t plum pudding and after her passing Lester took over the mantle on each Christmas Day, and on celebratory occasions he would cook many plum puddings and distribute t o fa m i ly a nd f r iend s like a latter-day father Christmas. His cooking sk i l ls a lso i ncluded cooking Asian delicacies – dim sum, char siew bow, har go, pork balls, etc., all equally as good as can be found in any restaurant, He continued to serve the church and the Lord r i g ht up t o h i s 101s t birthday – always in the fourth pew from the front of the church.

He will be remembered for his generosity and k i nd ne s s i n s o m a ny ways. He enjoyed both a 100th and 101st birthday party with family and f r iends i n Syd ney. He lived alone in his unit in Eastwood, drove his car to do his shopping and cooked for himself at the age of 101.

He passed away peacefully in Sydney after a short illness.

Lester had a full and rewarding life in which he gave love, pleasure and enduring friendships to so many. He is survived by s on M a rk a nd t wo brothers and a sister.

PRIDE IN THE PARK: SATURDAY, 25 MARCH 2023

Bursting with Pride Pride in the Park was the first Pride event in Coonabarabran’s history and a monumental day for the community and for LGBTQ+ youth across the region.

by EMMA HARVEY If you caught a glimpse of World Pride celebrations in Sydney last month, you may have marvelled at the incredible colour, joy and diversity on display.

T he 17-day festiva l, which f irst or ig inated in marches and protests back in 1978, hosted over 500,000 participants in 2023 – a remarkable sign of the hard-fought progress and advocacy on the part of older generations of LGBTQ+ people.

But despite the visibility and prominence of Pride events in our big cities, LGBTQ+ people in rural areas and small towns are often left behind in these larger conversations.

In places like C oonaba rabra n, ma ny lesbian, gay, bisexual, t r a n sgender, que er, i nt er s ex a nd a s ex u a l (LGBTQIA+) people may find themselves without an immediate and visible community to engage with.

The cost of no community T he pr ice of feel i ng misunderstood, isolated and unwelcome in your home town, particularly for young people, cannot be underestimated.

A ccord i ng t o 2 021 statistics from LGBTQ+ Health Australia, adolescents are four times more likely to attempt suicide and twice as likely to be diagnosed with a mental health disorder.

These health outcomes are directly related to experiences of stigma, prejudice, discrimination and abuse on the basis of being LGBTQ+.

When an eight-person committee got together in February 2023 to plan C o onaba rabra n’s f i rst Pride event, ambitions were modest, to say the least. A barbecue perhaps.

Some rainbow flags along the ma i n street a nd decorations in shopfronts.

S omething small to s t a r t a c onver s at ion , show support, uplift and empower young LGBTQ+ people in the area.

Facilitated by Coonabarabran Suicide Prevention Network - Yarn

Support Connect, ‘Pride in the Park’ was born – a lowkey, family-friendly event with markets and music, t o c ele br at e , e du c at e a nd adv o c at e for t he LGBTQ+ community in the Warrumbungle Shire.

Exceeding expectations It’s been five days, but Yarn Support Connect chairperson Kodi Brady is still being inundated with feedback about Pride in the Park.

“I’ve heard from people I’ve never spoken to before in my life about how good it was, how much they enjoyed themselves, how they couldn’t believe something like this was happening in Coonaba rabran,” Kod i said.

“So many people came out of t he wo o dwork , who now feel seen and comfortable expressing who they are. People who have loved ones, too, who now feel they can talk about their journeys, their kids’ journeys.”

O n t he m o r n i n g o f Saturday, 25 March, heavy rainstorms threatened to disrupt best-laid plans for the event, which was i n for m a l ly r ebr a nde d t o ‘ P r ide I nside! ’ a nd relocated to the town’s Sp or t a nd R e c r e at ion Centre at the last minute.

Decked out with colourful decorations and crammed with over 20 market stalls, the event ra n f rom 4 - 8pm, w ith an exhaustive program of musicians, speeches and performances, made possible by M ichael A r m s t r on g ’s e x p er t l ighti ng, sound a nd production.

Rising star and First Nations singer-songwriter, Scott Hunter, travelled from Sydney to headline, joi n i ng other a r tists such as Tamworth drag queen, Missy Sparkles and performance duo, Signal Creative.

Audiences were awe st r uck by M i s sy ’s glamorous lip-syncs and S c ot t ’s show- st oppi ng vocals, and Signal Creative duo Emma Hoy and Caroline Wallace kept the good vibes going all

afternoon with their everentertaining emceeing and DJ set.

Stallholders and support services included NS W L GB T Q + hea lth orga n isation AC ON, r e p r e s e nt at i v e s f r o m the Orana Mid Western Police, as well as local and visiting vendors of all kinds.

In total, hundreds of p e o ple c a me t h r ou g h the doors, basking in a community atmosphere that Kodi Brady described as “electrifying.”

“Our expectations were exceeded,” he said.

“For some people, events like this mean very little, but for others it means their life.”

Pride through the generations K at h B a r ne s , f r om Ba rad ine, k nows f i rst hand what it is like to experience invisibility and even open hostility due to her sexuality.

Now in her 70s, she has

witnessed extraordinary social and political change rega rd i ng gender a nd sexual diversity over the decades.

“When I grew up it was illegal to be gay. It was frowned upon. People who came out to their family then lost their family.”

A fter coming out as a l e s bi a n , K at h s a id she “disappeared” from Sydney and never went back.

Having lived in B a rad i ne for the l ast eight years, K ath said Saturday’s event was the first time she had felt truly “free” in the community.

“I came with my friend Helen and as we pulled up she said, ‘I think I’m nervous!’ And I said ‘are you sure you aren’t just excited? I’m so excited’.”

The two friends found the event “bloody wonder f u l” a nd even stuck around to enjoy the Imperial Hotel’s afterparty later that evening.

“It means the world to have that sort of acceptance in the community,” Kath said. “ I hope we can have it again and again and c o nt i nu e t o h e l p t h e youngsters.” ‘ Yo u n g s t e r s ’ l i k e 18 -yea r- old Jimmy Whalan who said Pride in the Park represented “real prog ress” for Coonabarabran and surrounds.

“Small country towns are quite a bit behind places like Sydney, so it’s nice to see Coona catching up a nd m a k i n g s ome real progress in making L GB T Q + people feel welcome and accepted.”

“It’s very different for everyone, but I think in a small country town a lot of people feel alone.

“I think for many it feels like you’re living a bit of a double-life, and when you do that for long enough the lines start to blur and you get to a point where

you have to try and figure out what parts are you and what parts are the persona. “ P e r s o n a l l y, w h e n I came out, one of the biggest issues I had was that some people didn’t believe me. “ I t h i n k no m at t er what, there are challenges big and small and it’s a journey for everyone – a journey I’m not sure really ever ends.”

T wenty- one-yea r- old A n nu nc i at a S a nt or o and her mother, Greer R ey nolds, who live between Gwabegar a nd P i l l iga, st opped into Coonabarabran on Monday to deliver homemade goodies to the event organisers – a small thank you for a day that meant so much.

“We first moved out here six years ago and didn’t think this is something we would ever see,” said A n nu nc i at a , who wa s thrilled to attend Pride in

Annunciata’s mother, Greer, says raising LGBTQ children in the country has been challenging and that the event was incredibly comforting and validating.

“As a parent to gay and trans children, I felt seen.”

S i nc e t he r a l ly ’s inception in 2015, each ye a r t he c ouple t a ke on the mammoth task of coord i nati ng the 1500-kilometre event.

In eight years that rally has raised over $3 million for Beyond Blue.

Beyond Blue’s community fund-raising manager, Zareen Syed said each year the rally g ives pa r ticipants the chance to come together, raise awareness and share

their own stories.

“For the most part, the rally participants are men from regional areas that aren’t quick to share their feelings,” the Beyond Blue spokesperson said.

“Yet, somehow, through this magical event, walls

come down, stories are sha red, and tea rs a re shed.”

The convoy set off from Mud g e e e a rly F r id ay morning before stopping at the C oonaba rabran Showground where the Lions Club put on a lunch

for the participants.

It was a quick pit stop for most who then headed to Narrabri where they spent the first night.

The rally wrapped up on Monday at Medlow Bath.

Chris Sawyer, Mark Yarrington, Troy Greedy and Daniel Hassett took the opportunity to chill out during their brief stop in Coonabarabran.

The Carlows and Carrs Part 2

Joe Launt J o e L au n t a n d t h e Carrs of Yaminbah were related by marriage to the Carlows. Joe Launt, took up a selection on Yaminba Creek not far from Ebenezer Orr’s old house.

A lthough the house had been abandoned for years, Joe Launt thought it wiser to go by night to steal the bits he needed f r om it t o add t o t he comfort of his own house.

Coming back one dark n i g ht w it h a w i nd ow he tripped and fell. He ji n ked h is neck , but saved the window. It was st i l l i n g o o d or der i n 1978. Jane and Claude Carr showed it to me in one of several rooms of Launt’s house that still stood at the back of their own.

Jim Carr, their father, married Mamie, one of the Ca rlow g i rls , a nd b o u g h t t h e Ya m i n b a selection from Joe Launt.

From Eric Rolls A Million Wild Acres pp 186-187 The Carrs M a m i e C a r r shepherded their sheep on Yaminba. A tall, lean woman, she d ressed always in a long black f r o c k . A s s he wa l ke d swiftly behind her sheep the sk i r t bi l lowed out behind her.

She looked f rom a

d i s t a n c e l i ke a g r e at black bird harrying the flock. She is remembered as clearly as Ebenezer O r r ’s m o r e c o l o u r f u l shepherdesses 50 years before her.

The sheep were yarded where George Druitt first ya rded them. M a nu r e built up so deeply, yard was built on yard. The third fence, high on the outside, was low on the inside by the time the Carrs fenced Yaminba.

A big, grey mound still

marks the site.

Jim Ca r r ex t ended L aunt ’s old house and built a notable fireplace.

The sandstone hearth, cut from the same quarry as David Matthews cut his headstones, measured about three-and-a-half metres by three. Each side of the chimney was a low door.

A horse snigged a heav y log about th ree metres long up to one door. B oth doors were then opened and a long

c h a i n r u n a c r o s s t he hearth to the log.

The horse was taken round to the other side of the chimney, hooked to the chain, and the log was pulled into place.

When smaller logs were laid alongside, the fire burnt for days. Paths on the clay soil sank into furrows.

As the month of March draws to a close, many places have recorded a notably warmer month than normally.

Walgett is certain to record its warmest March in 142 years of records.

The mean maximum temperature up to 26 March of 36.3 degrees is still above the record warmest March of 1882 when it was 35.6 degrees.

Bourke, with a mean maximum temperature of 37.1 up to 26 March – 4.5 degrees above average – is just behind the record of 37.2 degrees in March 1882.

To date, the meanmaximum temperature of 31.8 degrees in Coonabarabran is the hottest since 1998, while at Moree the mean maximum of 34.1 degrees, was also the hottest in March since 1998.

Both Walgett and Bourke have recorded a very dry March but, nearby centres have recorded much above average rainfall.

Coonabarabran has recorded 119.6mms, of which 102mms fell in three days. This was the fifth successive March that Coonabarabran has recorded over 100mms for the first time since 1879.

The last 12 years, dating back to 2012, the month of March has been very wet.

The average March rainfall for this 12-year period was very high at 105.3mms, nearly 40mms above the long-term average. There was a much wetter 12year period in January from 1968 to 1979, which averaged 189mms in Coonabarabran.

It is most unusual to

record much above average rainfall during March at places like Coonabarabran, which was three degrees above normal as well. It has never really happened before since 1879, but in March 1980 the mean maximum of 31.0 degrees was 2.7 degrees above normal and the rainfall of 81mms was just 16mms above average.

In Melbourne, March of 1980 was one degree below normal. The last week in Melbourne has seen maximum temperatures three degrees below the March normal.

April and May 1980 were notably warmer than usual in our regions. April 1980 was a dry month in NSW, but wet over most of Victoria due to a heavy rain event on 23 April. May 1980 was a wet month over NSW due to significant rains during the second week and near the end of this month.

I have spent some of my time collecting monthly sea-surface temperature data for Willis Island, east of Cairns. Last year the annual mean sea-surface temperature at Willis Island was 27.85 degrees.

This was the warmest since 27.90 degrees in 1864. In 1864 there were big floods from Queensland right down to Victoria and this certainly happened last year. It will be quite interesting if this year turns out to be like that of 1865.

The first three months of 1865 was cooler than normal in Melbourne, but April was dry and much warmer than usual; 34.4 on 6 April 1865.

Ladies tennis hits off under lights Participants were very keen to get back on the courts again after the holiday break, with six courts in action every Tuesday night.

Tullibigeal Picnics Saturday, 25 March Prior to last Saturday, 25 March, Tamsin Gough had ridden a sole winner, wh i le S a l ly Fau l k s , another first-season rider, was yet to taste success, however, their profiles improved markedly when both rode winning doubles at Tullibigeal.

Tamsin Gough had won the recent Picnic Cup at Bathurst on The Enzo and she won the 1600 metres Tullibigeal Picnic Cup on Broo Boss.

K nee Slapper was the early leader before the Peter Kirby, Forbestrained Broo Boss (Tamsin Gough, $4.20) went t o the f ront a nd was a convincing winner by nea rly two leng ths from Valadyium (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.50 favourite) and Merdeka (Breanna Bourke, $5).

Ea rlier, Tamsin Gough, in a daring ride, established a six-lengths lead on the Kylie Kennedy, Narromine-trained Jesta Diva in the 1200 metres Class 2 Handicap.

Jesta Diva ($16) was sti l l wel l clea r i n the straight and lasted to win by a short neck from Adam’s First Pick (Sally Faulks, $3.70), with a half length to the third-placed Hammo on Sweethea r t (Breanna Bourke, $5.50).

T he C on n ie Greig, Dubbo-trained Everyone ($4) became the careerf i rst w i n ner for Sa l ly

Faulks when, in a gripping b at t l e , i t w o r e d o w n s t a b l e m a t e B e ny a t t a (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.70 fav) to score by a short head in the 975 metres Picnic Sprint. Addictions (Breanna Bourke, $3.70), hu mpi ng 76kg, wa s a gallant third.

S a l ly Fau l k s t hen completed a memorable d ay when t he C on n ie Greig trained Hot Press ($8.50) led for home and held on to beat Mountain Brook ( R icky Blew itt , $3) and Cheeky Nugget (Leandro Ribeiro, $2.50 fav) in the 1600 metres Class 1 Trophy Handicap.

Narromine-based Ricky Blewitt followed his recent treble at Crookwell with a winning double on She’s Super and Sham at Tullibigeal.

F rom the M ichael Mulholland stable at Dubbo, She’s Super ($2.50) led throughout to beat Sindagar (Leandro Ribeiro, $1.60 fav) and Red Card Rosie (Tamsin Gough, $9) in the 975 metres Class B Handicap.

Fast Pulse ( Leandro Ribeiro, $3) led by three leng ths but was overhauled and beaten a half length by the Debbie P r e s t , C ow r a-t r a i ne d Sha m ( R ick y Blew itt , $ 3 .70), w it h S upr eme Reality (Breanna Bourke, $2.70 fav) third, in the 12 0 0 metres M a iden Plate.

The very well-presented T ullibigeal racecourse had a very good crowd trackside, with 12 bookmakers operating at the meeting.

Wellington Boot Carnival The Wellington Boot Carnival raced on Friday, 24 March and Sunday, 26 March, where tougha s -t e a k , s even-ye a r old gelding Yak was an appropriate winner of the Over The Line-Iron Horse Handicap on the first day of racing.

Iron Horse, the 1995 Wellington Boot winner, was trained by Gai Wat erhouse a nd lat er

won the 1997 G1 Epsom Handicap and a host of other top races.

On an overseas trip, Iron Horse ran third in the Singapore Plate and as a nine-year-old won a jumps’ race at Werribee in Victoria.

T ra i ned at D ubbo

by Michael Lunn, Yak outstayed a good lineup of country and city gallopers over the t esti ng 2 4 0 0 metres at Wellington.

Well ridden by Robyn Freeman, Yak led early before obtaining a nice trail behind Jousting and Poolenza.

With customary tenacity, Yak ($14) held on gamely to beat Jousting (Ja ke P rac ey-Hol mes , $9.50) and the 2022 Iron Horse w inner, I nsider Trader (Aaron Bullock, $1.95 favourite).

Apart from Yak, the star performer on Friday was jockey Jake PraceyHolmes who rode fou r winners, beginning with t h e C l i nt L u nd h o l m , Dubbo-trained Star Of Kings, which led most of the way in the 900 metres Maiden Handicap.

Pracey-Holmes again set the pace in the 1100 metres M a iden Plat e, won by the Mark Jones, Mu d g e e - t r a i n e d , $ 1 2 cha nce – Ch ief W h it e Sock.

A patient r ide by Pracey-Holmes enabled the Jeremy Gask, Sconetrained Croatian Madame ($10 ) t o overh au l t he leaders in the 1700 metres Class 1 and Maiden Plate.

Backed from $4.80 to $2.90 favourite, the Lou Mary, Scone-trained Eleni led for home and became the final leg of the fourwin haul for Jake PraceyHolmes when holding on to beat A nchor’s Point (Clayton Gallagher, $6) and Yorker (Braith Nock, $9.50) in the 900 metres Class 1 Handicap.

Former jockey Glenn F ra z er, who i s now a trainer at Coonabarabran, h ad a n i c e w i n w it h M inimal (Clay ton Gallagher, $6.50), which

led most of the way in the 1000 metres Country B o o s t e d C l a s s 2 a nd ab ove, B ench ma rk 5 0 Handicap.

Other winners were the Derek P iper, Mudgee-trained A naro ( S e r g L i s ny y, $ 3 . 8 0 ) and Champions League (C helsea H i l l ier, $14) trained by Andrew Bourke at Boorawa.

I n formation bega n filtering through on race eve that Wyong trainer K risten Buchanan was bringing a very smart twoyear-old filly, Everlong, for the $200,000 Over The Line Racing Wellington Boot.

The previously unraced Everlong was quoted as a $21 outsider, but those odds were halved by the time the 13-horse field jumped from the 110 0 metres barriers before a big crowd on Sunday at Wellington.

Another debut maker, Mo st r o, f r om the G a i Waterhouse and Adrian Bott stable at Randwick, was the $3.30 favourite, with the Mark Newnham, Randwick-trained Storm The Ramparts the second elect at $4.20 Displaying blistering early pace, the Annabelle N e a s h a m , R a ndw i c ktrained Sky Artist was fou r len g t h s i n f r ont approaching the home turn.

Coming from a handy fifth position, Everlong (Jeff Penza, $10) swept to the lead in the straight and lasted to win by a h a l f len g t h f r om t he Clint Lundholm, Dubbotrained Quasimoto (Grant Buckley, $9.50), which was midfield and wide on the home turn before flashing down the outside.

Ru n n i ng home wel l along the inside rail for th i rd wa s Spa rk i ngly (Jen ny D ugga n , $14), which had won the Boot Prelude at Coonamble for Wyong trainer Damien L a ne, formerly f rom Coonamble.

Carrying the 63kg top weight, the Randwick-

t r a i n e d F o r Va l o u r (Winona Costin, $3.10 fav) tried to lead all the way, but after a good battle was beaten a half length by t he R o d Nor t h a m , Scone-trained High Court (Grant Buckley, $4.40) in the $100,000 Wellington Showcase Cup. A strong-f i n ish i ng third was Just A Brother (Clayton Gallagher, $6) in the 1700 metres Cup, an eligibility race for the Big Dance at Randwick in November.

T he 110 0 metres Wellington Town Plate always attracts a good field of sprinters and this year the deserved winner was the very consistent Moetta, from the Brett Robb stable at Dubbo.

With the leaders turning for home, Moetta (Clayton Gallagher, $5.50) scored a photo finish win over Washington Towers (Billy Owen, $4.80) and Safado (Jenny Duggan, $15).

Throughout the day punters l i ned the m o u nt i n g y a r d f e n c e to assess the fitness of runners and in the 1700 metres B enchma rk 58 Showcase Hand icap, several backed Not Too Bad, which was presented in great order by Gilgandra trainer Kieren Hazelton.

S t r on g ly s upp or t e d from $6 to $4.60, Not Too Bad (Clayton Gallagher) sprinted past the leading pack when approaching the home turn and raced to a good win over Avalicious (Jake PraceyHolmes, $4.20 equal fav) and Dreamdeel (Grant Buckley, $4.20 equal fav).

Lady golfers play NSW Medal The first round of Golf NSW Women’s Medal competition was played at the Coonabarabran Golf Club over three days – 18, 19 and 22 March.

LADIES’ GOLF This event was sponsored by the McWhirter family and held in conjunction w ith ou r mat chpl ay qualifier.

We thank Jane and her family for their continued sponsorship.

Sadly, it was poorly attended with only six contenders.

The most outstanding was Jane herself, with a net score of 70. Jane generously gave first prize to Lou Dowsett, who came in with

a net 72, and runner-up to Zoe, with net 73. Balls were given out to Kerrie with net 74 and Jane.

Yesterday, the Calpeda Pumps Monthly Medal was commenced. T h is will be finalised following play on Saturday and is a combined medal with the men. It is also being played in conjunction with the Veteran Women’s Mabel Mackenzie Brooch.

As mentioned last week, the annual Cancer Support Group’s charity golf day is fast approaching. I hope you are all getting your teams

together for a fun filled day.

Minnie’s humour It was a sunny Saturday morning on the Crookhorn gol f course and I was beginning my pre-shot routine, visualising my upcoming shot, when a voice came over the club house tannoy: “Would the gentleman on the women’s tee back up to the men’s tee please.”

I wa s st i l l de ep i n my routine, seemingly imper v ious to the interruption. Again the announcement rang out – louder: “Would the MAN on

the WOMEN’S tee kindly back up to the men’s tee.”

I simply ig nored t he r e que st a nd kept concentrating when, once more, the man yelled, “Would the man on the woman’s tee back up to the men’s tee, PLEASE.” I finally stopped, turned, looked through the clubhouse window directly at the person with the microphone and shouted back, “Would the person in the club house kindly stop shouting and let me play my second shot!”

Further funds for Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre MOREE The Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre will benefit from a further $892,000 to undertake additional upgrades at the tourist drawcard.

Northern Tablelands MP Adam Marshall was joined by Moree Plains Shire mayor Mark Johnson and councillors at the aquatic centre to announce the latest cash splash in March, secured under the NSW Stronger Country Communities Fund.

“We want to ensure Moree’s artesian spa is the best in the region and this funding will go a long way to ensure it meets the needs of the community,” Mr Marshall said.

“More than 200,000 tourists visit Moree each year to soak in the calming and healing hot artesian waters, so it’s important the facilities be continually improved to provide visitors with the best experience possible,” Mr Marshall said.

“The latest round of funding will be used to modernise and update the hot pools area of the complex and future-proof those facilities for years to come.

“Council is out to tender at the moment to construct a new public 50-metre Olympic pool, which will be fantastic after going without for three summers now.

“Hopefully it’s not long now until council has the entire complex looking and performing its best for locals and visitors to enjoy.

Since 2017, the NSW

government has provided almost $7.8 million in funding to council to upgrade facilities at the aquatic centre.

Moree Plains Shire mayor Mark Johnson said council was thrilled

to receive the latest funding support.

“Council is elated to receive the funding through the Building Stronger Country Community Program and thank you to Adam

for his ongoing support,” Cr Johnson said.

“The funding will be used to assist council in the refurbishment of the hot artesian pools at the centre.”

Cr Johnson had the honour of planting an olive tree, representing a tree of friendship with students, Nyla Prince from Mungindi Central School and Ellie Lurhs from St Joseph’s Primary School.

“This much-loved new infrastructure already has the kids beaming with enthusiasm and participating in after school exercise. The poem St Joseph’s kids put together is a testament to how Mums and Dads, Nans and Pops, Brothers and sisters, babies and tots.

All come together to join the fun, Regardless of weather; rain, snow or sun.

No longer in our town here in the sticks Will kids need Xbox, PlayStation or Netflix.

The hours of fun that now take place, The Mungindi Bike Track, what a wonderful space.

Moree on a Plate welcomes partnership Aquatic centre

tenders on the agenda at council meeting

MOREE The Moree on a Plate Food and Wine Festival for 2023 is taking shape, and organisers are thrilled to announce the major sponsor for 2023 and 2024 is Port of Newcastle - Australia's deepwater global gateway and the largest port on Australia's east coast.

A vital link in the North West’s supply chain, Port of Newcastle recognises the value of Moree on a Plate as a showcase of local produce, talent and community strength, and the committee is extremely grateful for their generous sponsorship.

Craig Carmody, Port of Newcastle chief executive officer, was equally thrilled with the newfound partnership.

"Port of Newcastle has a rich history of supporting local community events and festivals,” he said.

“With our strong existing trade connection with Moree, set to only strengthen in the future, we are thrilled to support such an important event that promotes the diverse agricultural region of the Moree Plains Shire."

Moree on a Plate will be held on Saturday, May 13 at Moree Secondary College, and this 'festival of flavour' will feature producers from across the region, celebrity chef Christine Manfield, as well as a dedicated Kids Korner, live entertainment and the ever-popular 'Mixed Grill' barbecue competition.

FESTIVAL SUPPORT: Moree on a Plate committee members Jessie Chandler and Georgina Poole with Port of Newcastle chief executive officer Craig Carmody, centre.

Tenders called for in November 2022 for the 50m Olympic pool, grandstand, and clubhouse at the Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre were considered at Moree Plains Shire Council’s ordinary meeting on March 16, 2023.

Unfortunately, no tender submissions met council’s requirements.

Council will now undertake a select tender approach with experienced pool builders.

In a statement, a spokesperson said council understands the frustration in the community regarding the length of time this process is taking but is committed to making sure this is done thoroughly to enable the best outcome.

“Council will continue their pursuit to find a reputable and adequately resourced company and we will continue to keep the public informed of the progress,” the statement read.

Meanwhile, the works schedule continues at the centre. The reconstruction and reinstating of the refurbished water slide has started with testing of the slide to be conducted over the next four weeks.

Demolition of the wellness and active pool has already commenced as has the installation of reinforced steel, formwork and plumbing. Concrete will be poured, with a curating time of six weeks after which the tiling of the pool (and concourse) will occur .

Spike in pig numbers warrants Be alert for urgent action: NSW Farmers RURAL NEWS An explosion in feral pig numbers on public lands in the North West has resulted in massive damage to properties and livestock, according to NSW Farmers.

Across the state more than 34,000 hoofed feral animals – including pigs, deer and goats – had been culled since November, but the feral pig population was still enormous.

A previous survey revealed the financial loss pigs caused to farmers in the North West was more than $47 million.

The study found that approximately 132,000 tons of grain, 15,000 bales of cotton and 11,000 lambs were destroyed by pigs, with pigs present on 90 per cent of properties surveyed, a total area of 543,644 hectares.

NSW Farmers member Peter Mailler was still seeing them run across his front lawn, and he said they presented a huge biosecurity risk if not controlled.

“They’re doing enormous damage to property and the numbers are as bad as I’ve ever seen them,” Mr Mailler said.

“We need effective pest control management plans with the resources and commitment of all parties to tackle feral pests and weeds so we can get on top of

them and stay on top of them.

“Farmers can’t do this individually – pigs and other pests don’t respect property boundaries, the state needs to ramp up efforts and do the job properly.”

According to the NSW government, feral pigs were a “key threatening process” as they spread weeds and disease, hunt native animals and damage the environment. They also posed a problem for farmers as they preyed on newborn lambs, eat and destroy grain crops and pastures, and damage fences.

Bronwyn Petrie from the NSW Farmers Conservation and Resource Management Committee said while farmers were active in trying to control pest animals and weeds on their properties, a lack of effective control on public lands was undermining their efforts.

“Farmers know that’s where the pigs are breeding because we see them coming onto our farms from public lands,” Mrs Petrie said. “Yet over the past seven years there hasn’t been a single prosecution on public land managers for animal pests.

“Unless there is an urgent and coordinated control effort on all land – public and private – this problem will only get worse.”

Sheep producer Norm Thomas said he lost 120 lambs this year

– estimated to be worth about $24,000 – to feral animals, and agreed there needed to be a major control effort.

“We’re not sure if they were killed by pigs or wild dogs, but I’m pretty sure they were pigs,” Mr Thomas said.

“The problem here is that not every landholder wants to do their part in controlling pest animals, but that just gives them safe country to breed in.

“You hear these politicians talk about the importance of biosecurity, and yet they allow this huge biosecurity threat to run roughshod across the state.”

Mrs Petrie said NSW Farmers had called for a commitment from both sides of politics to tackle the issue, by establishing an independent Natural Resource Regulator to coordinate and enforce management of public lands including National Parks (which take up 10 per cent of the state’s total area) and other Crown lands, a commitment to ongoing funding and resourcing for National Parks management, and sustainable funding to Local Land Services for pests and weeds management to build long-term resourcing certainty.

“The agencies and organisations are there, the rules are there, there just need to be resources and enforcement,” Mrs Petrie said.

three-day sickness in livestock RURAL NEWS

Local Land Services has urged primary producers to stay alert for signs of three-day sickness in their herd following confirmed cases in cattle in the North West and Northern Tablelands regions recently.

This includes areas near Narrabri, Inverell, Warialda and Gunnedah and comes after a series of similar reports across the north coast of the state in January.

Local Land Services team leader animal biosecurity and welfare Andrew Biddle said these latest incidents highlighted that the sickness was now spreading.

“With this virus moving into new areas it is time for farmers to remain vigilant and keep a lookout for signs of bovine ephemeral fever, more commonly known as three-day sickness,” Mr Biddle said.

“Signs include animals developing a high temperature, which makes them appear depressed and lethargic, while animals laying down, not feeding, appearing lame, drooling and nasal discharge are also common indications.

“Landholders who notice these signs should contact their Local Land Services district veterinarian or local veterinary practice.”

Three-day sickness is an insect-transmitted virus of cattle that causes a high fever and pain

With this virus moving into new areas it is time for farmers to remain vigilant ...

in the muscles and joints, with symptoms usually lasting a few days before most cattle recover.

Some cattle, especially bulls and heavier conditioned animals, may go down and take several days to get back to their feet, something Mr Biddle said can prompt an increased risk of other complications.

“When cattle are down for long periods, nerves and blood flow to the legs can be impacted and these animals can struggle to get back to their feet,” he said.

“Untreated animals may die, there is risk of pneumonia, while pregnant cows may abort, and bulls can become infertile for up to six months.

“Minimising the impact of three-day sickness in your herd will depend on regular observation and timely treatment.

“Ensure your cattle have easy access to water and shade and that you intervene early with assistance rather than wait too long.

“Medication is also highly effective in bringing down fever and reducing muscle and joint pain and can be obtained in consultation with a private veterinarian.”
