NORTH WEST

Equestrian EXPO

COONABARABRAN: FRIDAY, 31ST MAY – TUESDAY, 4TH JUNE 2024

A hearty welcome to Coona!

The North West Equestrian Expo committee and head stewards are thrilled to welcome 450 riders representing 100 schools to the 2024 event, and are gearing up for five days of competition across 13 disciplines at the Coonabarabran Showground and Racecourse.

Exciting changes The Expo committee has worked with other user groups throughout the year to upgrade the cross- country track with crusher dust and s havings . The sand dressage arena has been repacked and levelled, with proposed fencing scheduled following this year’s event. A new wash bay has been built on the highway side of the showground for those stabled there during Expo.

Again this year, the comittee has purchased sawdust for riders to use in their stables – the aim is to reduce the costs incurred by riders in purchasing shavings and the large amount of plastic waste generated by the bags.

The Coonabarabran Public School P&C is also trialing a recycling depot for plastic bottles and cans as a fund-raiser for the school and a way to reduce waste during the event.

Expo’s major sponsors this year are Furney’s Feeds, Dubbo, and Godolphin Lifetime Care.

Fu rn ey ’s h a s a g a i n donated a bag of feed for each competitor and Godolphin, in addition to sponsoring our age champions, is also sponsoring the Team 6 Bar. I would like to thank all our sponsors – we are aware of the increasing

pressure on budgets and we again thank you for your support.

The extra lighting that was sponsored by NSW Polocrosse in 2023 proved so successful that this year we have hired eight LED lights to complement our evening program.

The Showground Trust has also assisted with upgrades to the permanent lighting at the Showground.

C o m p etito rs at th e racecourse will notice a permanent laneway for riders to safely access the showground, and vice versa.

There are new permanent day yards available for competitors.

Expo continues to work with the Coonabarabran Jockey Club to improve facilities at this increasingly popular area.

There have been some timetable changes this year, with the Team of Fours event being held at the showground so as many riders as possible f ro m Te a m P e n n i n g , E x p o Gy m k h a n a a n d Hacking can all participate without having to go to the racecourse.

The very popular Warrumbungles Way will utilise more of the crossc o u nt r y c o u r s e t h a n previous years including the large water jump.

Life members Expo welcomed three new life members at its

annual general meeting in February – Ross Young, Lucy Evans and Jacqui Clifton.

M a ny competitors may not know Ross, but have ridden in many of the dressage arenas he assembles each year. This year he will be working on five arenas in the main showground arena and eight at the racecourse.

P refe r r i n g to wo r k quietly on his own in the weeks leading up to Expo nothing is too much trouble and Ross gets the job done without any

fuss. I believe Ross has been doing this job for over 20 years and is a very worthy recipient of life membership.

Lucy has been th e h e a d s tewa rd of Monday Dressage for over a decade. She is b oth p a s s i o n ate a n d progressive within her discipline, introducing medium classes and the Friday Freestyle classes.

Lucy is also a valued m em b er of the E xpo c o m m it te e , a s s i s ta nt secretary and controller of our social media

platform. The energy she brings to her job inspires others and her “can do” attitude gets things done.

J acq u i i s th e h ea d steward for presentations, which includes the evening presentations and the final parade.

With over 150 rugs and 700 ribbons and rosettes to be married up with winners and placegetters, you can understand the complexity of the task.

Jacqui is also a valued member of the office team during the event, fielding queries from

competitors and liaising with sponsors.

Grateful support I would like to thank our community for the support given to Expo from Rotary, both the Primary and High School, our many sponsors, Pony C l u b , Wa r r u m b u n g l e Eventing, Showground Trust, Warrumbungle Shire Council, our head stewards and committee and the m a ny vo l u nte e rs n ot necessarily represented by the aforementioned

organisations, who generously give of their time and expertise.

Finally, I would like to recognise the schools, teachers, team managers, parents and riders for their continued support of the event.

We look forward to five days of competition representing your school in a wide range of equestrian events.

Kevin Sharp President North West Equestrian Expo Committee

North West Equestrian Expo committee members Brenda Grant, Rebecca Moxham, Abbey Blackburn, Kevin Sharp, Richard Blackman, Ren Letts and Lisa Moody are excited for another year of competition and memory making.

Equestrian EXPO

COONABARABRAN: FRIDAY, 31ST MAY – TUESDAY, 4TH JUNE 2024

Teamwork on show There was movement in the town for word had passed around, that Australia’s largest high school inter-school equestrian event was about to touch down.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY The N or th West Eq uestria n E xpo is a highlight of the year for many in Coonabarabran and, even without the signage all through town, it’s impossible to miss – the ‘no vacancy’ sign on every motel, the inevitable mud tracked through the doors of businesses, and the showground filled with vehicles, stables, show rings and , of course, horses.

This year, Expo has attracted close to 500 riders from 100 schools to compete in Olympic and western disciplines, and everything in-between.

The five-day event has long been considered unique in its ability to demonstrate the horsemanship of riders, bringing together a vast number of like-minded students.

“The students love the whole atmosphere of Expo – competing on their horses, sitting around the campfire with their friends and family, mingling with other schools, and being back in the country,” said Scots College Sydney team manager, Anna Fullarton.

After going from only one rider in 2016, Scots has built an impressive

collection of trophy rugs from Expo and is hoping to add to it again this year.

Five students from the school will compete in 2024, with the small, but talented team honing their skills in the holidays leading up to Expo.

Also making the journey from Sydney is Abbotsleigh, which has been represented at Expo for 15 years, crowning more than a few champion and reserve-champion age group riders.

The Abbotsleigh team is riding off a particularly strong high after taking out the perpetual Dressage Trophy in 2023.

“The top three scores are taken into play, so with a team of only six girls, this was an incredible result for our school,” said Abbotsleigh team manager, Katie Stanley.

T h i s y e a r, e i g h t girls – both day and boarder students – are competing, allowing for a “wonderful cross section of competitors in both the Olympic and western/ stock type events.”

It is an exciting week for some of the state’s regional schools, including Cobar, four hours west of Coonabarabran.

The school attended with a couple of riders many years ago, but

in 2021, current team manager. Nicole Pennell approached the school, with her son the sole rider at the time.

“Each year has seen the team grow, which makes it more fun as they have friends to compete with and they can encourage each other in their own disciplines,” Mrs Pennell said.

“We have four riders this year – they all live in the same area, so they meet up and practise the ir d res s ag e tests , showjumping and sporting under the guidance of Tahnee Armstrong, who will take over as team manager next year.”

Without a doubt, there is something special about Expo that draws teams again and again.

Yanco Agricultural High School first attended the Coonabarabran event 26 years ago, averaging 10 students, but this year they’re carting 24 students and 29 horses.

Winning the Best Presented Large School Trophy a number of times over the years , team manager, Fiona Edwards said Expo was a highlight on the school’s events calendar every year. “ Th e stu d e nts l ove the atmosphere and the range of disciplines on

offer,” Ms Edwards said.

After a hiatus, Nyngan High School will also be back on ground this year.

Nyngan’s team manager, Angie Read, was part of the school’s i n a u g u r a l te a m t h a t attended Expo in 1996 with 20 riders.

Nyngan’s team of three regularly ride in state - level pony club and showjumping championships, and are keen for a new experience.

“It’s our first time going, but they’re so excited to ride with their friends from across the state,” Ms Read

said.

“It’s so nice that they get to represent the school in their chosen sport.”

Fro m t h e eve nt i n g circuit to the hack rings, and the often rain-sodden team barrel racing and polocrosse, there truly is something for every rider

at Expo.

It ’s an invaluable opportunity for them to display their horsemanship, do their school proud and create life-long friendships and contacts that will continue to support them long after their years at school.

H AV E YOU M E T . . . MICK DOOL A N How long have you been involved in equestrian sports?

Since childhood.

What Expo event are you stewarding? Warrumbungle Way. Can you explain your discipline in one sentence? A stockman’s challenge comprising tasks to allow a riders to demonstrate skill in horsemanship.

Any memorable moments or highlights from Expo? In this particular event there have been some pretty talented kids – they have rolled horses on their backs, made them rear up, sang songs, and just about anything else you can get a horse to do.

What sets Expo apart from similar events? A very good committee that constantly looks to improve the running of Expo.

Are there any challenges or unique aspects to stewarding the event that people might not be aware of? The event is a unique in the way there are no set rules, and it can be a bit of a challenge coming up with some tasks.

How do you stay warm during Expo? Expo jacket.

Favourite Expo fuel (food)? Rotary’s chips and gravy.

Best thing about Expo? Rotary’s chip and gravy.

What advice would you give to newcomers or aspiring riders interested in your event? Have a go, we try to make the tasks so riders of all levels can compete.

Sorry Day commemorated at Yarning Circle The Coonabarabran community came together once again to commemorate National Sorry Day on Sunday, 26 May, with this year’s event marking 10 years since the first officially-approved march across Mary Jane Cain bridge. The beautiful autumn weather created the perfect backdrop for the special event, which was held at the Yarning Circle in Neilson Park for the first time.

Mokoia Birtles performed as part of the Yulu-gi-Mari Dance Group.

Uncle Casey Dowd leads the Sorry Day march across the Mary Jane Cain Bridge last Sunday.

Aboriginal Elders were invited to cut the cake at the conclusion of the Sorry Day ceremony.

Baradine reaps rewards from recycling efforts A local not-for-profit group has signed up for a return-and-earn recycling scheme.

by LIZ CUTTS The Baradine Rusty Club Men’s Shed has p a r t ne r e d w it h o ne of the la rgest wast e management companies in Australia, Cleanaway Waste Management, and established a return-andearn recycling scheme for the town and surrounding area.

R esidents can now deposit eligible cans and bottles at the recently established Rusty Men’s Shed return point, where they are collected for recycling.

R u s t y C l u b spokesperson , Br uce Evans said the local return point provides an alternative to making the 100-kilometre round trip to Coonabarabran to obtain refunds. “ I nd ications a re t h at s ome r e sident s g rew d isillusioned with having to hoard enough recyclables to make the trip to the Coonabarabran collection point worthwhile,” Mr Evans said.

“Having a collection point in Baradine is a win-win for residents. By recycling drink bottles and cans they are not only helping the environment,

but earning along the way and putting money back into the community.”

Beverage container litter is a major issue in NSW. In February this year the NSW Return and Earn container deposit scheme celebrated the m i le st one of h av i ng recycled 11 billion bottles, cans and cartons in NSW since its conception in December 2017. In the

process, it has returned $1.1 billion in container refunds back into participants’ pockets and has raised $54 million for charities and community g r o up s v i a d o n at e d refunds and return point hosting fees. “ T h is shows that the r et u r n-a nd- ea r n program has become a shining example of what is possible when we all

work together to tackle a tricky problem,” Mr Evans added.

“The scheme provides money back in people’s pockets and g ives community groups like ours a bit of a financial boost. “ We see it as being very beneficial to those l i v i n g o n t he l a nd .

Rather than burying the recycled bullion on their

properties, they can easily exchange it for change.”

The Baradine Rusty Men’s Shed collection poi nt at 2 8 L ach la n Street will be manned every Saturday morning between 8am and 12 noon to receive eligible re cyclables a nd t o calculate and arrange for the credit of earned refunds into nominated bank accounts.

Pharmacists empowered through new reform

A new state reform means NSW residents will be able to receive treatment for urinary tract infections through their local pharmacy.

by GEORGIA SPENCE Following a successful trial that began in November 2022, pharmacists will now have the abilit y to provide consultations and prescriptions for urinary tract infections (UTI) from 1 June.

The reforms will likely have a large effect on those living regional communities, who experience longer wait lists and travel times.

Shadow M i n i ste r fo r Regional Health, Bronnie Taylor said the permanent changes will significantly

improve healthcare accessibility and relieve pressure on emergency departments and general practicioners (GPs).

The initial trial benefitted more than 16,000 women a n d M r s Ta y l o r s a i d i t reinforced the need to trust and empower pharmacists to work their full scope of practice.

Coonabarabran pharmacist, Emma Doel and new ly- appointed Baradine pharmacist, Doug King have both completed the training necessary to

provide UTI medication.

Ms Doel said patients must meet certain criteria in order to receive the medication and the infection must not be considered complex.

“It’s not like consulting with a doctor, where if you have a chest infection and a UTI they can prescribe an antibiotic for both. We have to meet certain guidelines,” Ms Doel said.

“A p h a r m a c i s t c a n provide reassurance – we can treat skin conditions, fevers and the scope of what we can treat is

widening, which benefits us out here because of the doctor shortage.”

Doctor shortages have l ed to l ong wa it ti mes, increasing the r isk of worsening infections for those with UTIs. Mr King said the effects of the doctor shortage can be seen throughout all areas of healthcare, including pharmacies.

He said he was happy pharmacists could do more to help people, however, there was uncertainty in fragmenting the duty of

care across the var ious health sectors.

“It’s a bit of a vexed one.

A GP is the coordinator of care and that model of care is no longer as practical as it once was, due to the doctor shortage,” Mr King said.

“The roll out was rushed and I feel like this initiative puts a bandaid on the wider issue at hand. “ O ve r a l l , t h e r i s k o f fragmenting the capability of care is small compared to the risk of untimely treatment towards UTI’s. It does provide an additional outlet when

doctors are not viable.”

Both M r K i ng and M s Doel emphasised the i mpo r tance of patients seeing a doctor, on top of their pharmaceutical analysis.

The NSW Pharmacy trial also included the prescr iption of the o ral contraceptive pill for eligible women.

Women between the age of 18-35 were considered el ig i b l e and they we re req u i red to have been prescribed the pill within the last two years.

Extra-ordinary proposals at Council meeting The topic of a Special Rate Variation was discussed during the Warrumbungle Shire Council’s extra-ordinary meeting, on Monday, 27 May.

by GEORGIA SPENCE During the meeting, councillors discussed a Long Term Financial Plan and a draft Operational Plan.

T hey endorsed the draft Operation Plan 2024/25 and the Revenue Policy, as provided on public exhibition.

Council also adopted the Long Term Financial Plan 202333 and acknowledged that action is needed to improve the f i na ncia l f utu re a nd sustainability of Council.

A further report will be provided outlining the actions to be taken to improve the financial position of the Council, including options for applying for an Special Rate Variation (SRV).

An SRV is a mechanism used by local councils to increase the amount of revenue they can collect from rates, beyond the sta nda rd r at e p e g s e t by t he government.

This process is often considered when a council has exceeded its income and additional funding is necessary to maintain community services and infrastructure.

D u r i n g t he ex t r aordinary meeting,

general manager Roger Bailey said he had been under pressure to reduce expenditure across the organisation, including staff cuts and similar measures.

Mr Bailey proposed the idea of an SRV as one of the few options ava i l able i f C ou nc i l cannot move its finances towa rds a positive balance. “ It i s not a n e a sy process to go through.

It involves a fair bit of work and it involves a fair bit of community consultation,” Mr Bailey said.

“Even if you started now for next year, you probably wouldn’t have it in place. You would have to be targeting the financial year after.

“The other side of the coin is, if you want to continue to maintain the same level of services we already are, you’ve got to get the extra money.”

C ou nc i l lor A n iel lo Iannuzzi said an SRV was not going to stop the cause of the larger issue at hand and it would be likely rate payers would have to incur several SRVs to meet targets.

He ag reed there was little need to alert rat epayers cu r rently a nd referenced the behaviour of residents at the last Council meeting

WEATHER WATCH The surface synoptic charts since 24 April have been dominated by a very strong high pressure well south of the continent. The main centres of high pressure were south of the Bight and across Tasmania to the Tasman Sea. Melbourne recorded the highest-ever mean monthly barometric pressure of 1028.5mbs during May. This was the highest recorded right back to 1858.

Other high mean monthly pressures of 1027mbs in Melbourne were in 1868, 1886, 1891, 1972, and 2017.

The one case to watch is 1886; the rainfall profiles this year are very similar to the first five months of 1886 from Victoria to southern Queensland. This indicates that the last five months of this year may be wetter than average and to continue into next summer.

Rural centres in north-east Victoria have recorded their lowest mean-minimum temperatures in May since 2005 and before that in 1912, with readings four degrees below normal.

It was a different situation in the central west of NSW, where readings were three degrees above the May normal.

While searching through the temperature records for both districts, I found only one other very similar situation. This was back in 1991, which included a wet January, a very dry, warm March and April, a wet May in NSW and a dry May in Victoria.

This has also all happened this year.

June of 1991 was very wet in both districts, with widespread heavy rain during the second week and more significant rain in July 1991. This was followed by a warm, dry spring season with high temperatures during October 1991, but a very wet summer in 199192.

Adelaide has been very dry since February, with only 15mms recorded, easily a record dry in 183 years of records. The previous driest such periods were in 1870, 1891 1990 and 2005.

We certainly had a very wet winter after these past episodes.

Attendees in the gallery at the meeting held i n C o ola h were ups et a nd ac t ed out of order in accordance t o C ounci l meeti ng decorum.

Cr Iannuzzi proposed the future elected Council could consider another amalgamation, to minimise the financial burden on community members. “ T hat behav iou r was out of order and, hopefully, to never be

repeat ed. It was the low point of my eight years on this Council,” Cr Iannuzzi said.

“We can’t keep asking our general manager to not put through SRV, and at the same time we can’t be hiding from important debates about

our assets loads, revenue base and the future.

“We are living beyond our means. For these l a s t few mont h s we are responsible for the organisation and the community has voted us i n t o ma ke these decisions.”

Wa r r umbu ngle Shire Council mayor, C r A mbr ose D o ola n , suggest ed that the fairest solution would be to wait for the new Council to be elected later this year, as they would have four years to implement a plan.

WORD

for

For Wild Spaces team and WORD Gomeroi women unite

In this interview series, we sit down with locals for a quickfire chat. Then we ask them, “Who should we talk to next?”

And so the chain continues...

Nickname? Purple lady.

H o w d i d yo u co m e t o l i ve i n Coonabarabran? My sister moved here in 1983 and I had been travelling up and down since then. Eight years ago I was made redundant from a job I was working at in Sydney. I decided to take the redundancy, buy a house and here I am. Because I knew Coonabarabran already, it was easy.

Where would people recognise your face? From the ADRA Op Shop predominately, and up at the Bowling Club.

What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? Considering I’ve only ever had 3 or 4…I’d have to say working for Telstra in a department that dealt with mobile phones for the NSW Government departments. I enjoyed the customer service side and being able to help them set up the phones.

You’ve had a stressful day – what’s your way of winding down? Depends on what time of year it is. A the moment I’m watching the cycling races, the grand tours. I particularly like the Tour De France and I get their official book each year.

How would your friends and family describe you in three words? Probably ‘hard to buy for’ but that’s four words so ‘honest, kind and empathetic’.

What are your favourite places to visit on a road trip? I don’t go on road trips, I go on cruise ships! Most of my trips have been up to the Pacific Islands, where it’s warm.

If you could have any superpower what would it be? To be able to take mental health away. Change people’s minds so they don’t need to suffer.

If you had an animal or plant renamed in your honour, what would you want to carr y your name? An eagle, because they are beautiful, majestic birds.

Have you read any good books lately? I’m watching re-runs of old TV shows at the moment.

What are the top three items on your bucket list? If had a money, a new car. Otherwise, I am pretty content.

Do you have a hidden talent? Or what is something people might not know about you? I have always dyed my hair purple, hence the nickname – Purple Lady.

If you could pick a decade to visit on a time machine what would it be? I’d like to go back to the 18th century when Mozart was alive. And I would also like to see all the beautiful dresses and wigs they had.

Do you have a favourite community event or group? Probably the events at the Bowling Club.

If you could have anyone around for dinner who would it be? Mozart and his sister, who was apparently just as talented as him. Her compositions were lost because it was such a maledominated world.

And what would you cook them? I don’t cook, so I would probably get takeaway!

When was the last time you had a really good laugh? I have good laughs every day. There is always something to laugh about.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? Walk away and don’t get involved.

Recently, charity organisation For Wild Places visited the Pilliga region to learn about the cultural and environmental significance of the area.

The trip was also a type of reconnaissance mission in preparation for the event ‘Pilliga Ultra’ later in the year.

For Wild Places offers environmental campaigning by means of sports activism, aiming to bring together trail runners, bush walkers and the likes, to understand the land they are on, what may be at risk and how to support the local community.

The team met with local Gomeroi women over cups of tea and

fresh scones at Pilliga Pottery where they discussed the ongoing concerns of mining in the area and the decadelong campaign against the exploitation of the land via coal-seam-gas mining.

The team also met at a local cafe in Coonabarabran with Gomeroi Elders, who spoke of their time growing up in the area, and of some fond memories they had of their childhood.

Over the weekend,

the For Wild Places team had the pleasure of running many of the trails on Barkala Farm.

The team worked on trail maintenance with local bushwalker and trail creator, Kerry Lowe, and connected with other community groups such as Lock the Gate and Geni Energy.

In addition to collaborating with the local community in creating a family-friendly event, the ‘Pilliga Ultra’ also aims to reach a broader audience, such

as professional athletes and interstate outdoors enthusiasts, who will visit the Pilliga region to experience the beauty of the area and contribute economically to the community.

The For Wild Places team arrived from multiple places across the country and thoroughly enjoyed immersing themselves in the Pilliga area, leaving feeling inspired and enthusiastic about returning to Coonabarabran and the Pilliga.

The team from For Wild Spaces met with local Gomeroi women at Pilliga Pottery where they discussed the on-going battle against coal-seam gas in the Pilliga.

Nursing graduation

STEPHANIE POCOCK

Keira Cox graduated from the University of New England campus (UNE) in Armidale on Saturday, 11 May with a Bachelor of Nursing degree. It was a joyous occasion, attended by 15 of Keira’s closest family members.

Overall, it was a memorable and meaningful day, and family, friends and colleagues congratulate Keira on this significant milestone in her career.

The ceremony was particularly special as it celebrated the commencement of numerous new registered nurses entering the health-care industry.

There was a strong emphasis on the importance of health-care professionals, like Keira, considering

rural areas for their careers, where their skills are greatly needed.

It was also worth noting the timing of the ceremony, just a day before International Nurses Day, on 12 May, which added an extra layer of significance to the event.

Now taking on a new role as a registered nurse at Cooinda, Coonabarabran, Keira has also been appointed as the relief clinical-care coordinator.

Cooinda CEO, Leanne Redfern said Keira’s journey showcased the diverse career paths and opportunities available for nurses in aged care.

Cheers to your success, Keira!

Vandals hit Coona’s main street Several businesses in the main street of Coonabarabran were recently targeted by vandals, who smashed the windows and doors of Sole Impression and the Coona Fish and Chip Shop.

by GEORGIA SPENCE The t wo incidents were sepa rate from each other and o cc u r re d d u r i n g t h e months of Ap r i l and May. Owner of Sole Impression, Joel Amiet was the first to have the front window of his store smashed.

The damage took place on 19 April, and since M r Amiet did not have any security ca m e ra s , t h e p o l i ce had limited options for action. “ I t wa s d e p re s s i n g w hen I f i r s t sa w it.

Insurance covers it, but there’s still the excess to pay, which comes out of my own pocket,” Mr Amiet said.

“It’s left the front of the shop looking a mess.

I fe e l l i ke c u s to m e r s might be put off by it, but I know that’s only a feeling and not reality.”

M r A m i et s a i d t h e incident did not contribute to his upcoming store closure.

“Probably due to the cost of living, sales have not been as high and the lease was ending, so I thought it might be the best time to pack it up,” Mr Amiet said.

The second incident at Coona Fish Shop occurred on 14 May and b u s i n e s s co - p a r t n e r,

Mel Collins had to close the business while she waited for repairs.

A young man in his late 20 s allegedly kicked and shattered the glass door, making t h e s h o p’s e n t r a n c e ha za rdous fo r

Mrs Collins said it m i g ht h a ve b e e n a n act of spite, following a n a lte rcat i o n a few weeks before.

there were multiple w i t n es s es w h o co u l d support her claim.

“He’s usually a ver y g ood k id. It i s ve r y disappointing. He just wasn’t in his right mind on both occasions, but the pol ice we re ve r y

Although the vandalism was disheartening for both shop owners, they rema i n suppo r ted by the community.

ROADS AND COACHES: PART 1 Roads may be defined as lines of communication passing through the country, connecting towns and villages, thus affording a means of transporting goods, produce and persons by way of certain types of vehicles. By means of such roads, the natural resources of the country were developed and industry, commerce and travel were promoted.

Vehicles were mainly horse traffic, with drays used for carting goods.

Stage coaches became the main type of transport for people and luggage.

In 1875, the people of Coonabarabran were afforded the convenience of being able to travel by mail coach for the first time. Thomas Cheshire, of Mudgee, was granted a contract to use a two or three-horse coach to carry the mail from Mendooran, via Luckey’s, Caigan, Mobla and Belar to Coonabarabran and back once a week. The paying passengers on his coach thought it a great improvement on travel by horseback, bullock wagon or dray.

The service proved highly successful. It was taken over by Cobb & Co the following year, 12 months before Cheshire’s contract ran out. He probably made plenty of money on the transaction. Cobb & Co were willing to pay a good price for contracts which showed such potential.

In the 1860s, roads of various kinds were constructed in the bush, but they mainly consisted of naturalearth formation, with a crushed-rock pavement used in few areas where heavy traffic was

expected.

In order that a road was to be satisfactory for transport by stage coach, it was to be dry and solid, with easy grades curves and a good surface. It was to be well drained. Therefore, road construction consisted of clearing and grubbing the line, and forming it up with a crown to enable drainage. Timber culverts and stone causeways were constructed at creek crossings.

There was now a frenzy of activity on the building of new government roads. Even as late as the seventies, the main routes out of town were referred to on maps as “bush tracks”. The population of Coonabarabran was expanded by those involved in this work. C. F. W. Bedford, William Bradford and D. “Bully” Wilson were the road superintendents.

Patrick Morrissey and his gang of picked men built many of the roads around Coonabarabran.

H e a n d h is b r o t h e r , James, came from Tipperary, Ireland.

Paddy had been born there in 1844. They were amongst those who joined the Gulgong gold rushes in the roaring days of the 1870s. ln 1880, Paddy took up 80 acres of land in the Parish of Toorawandi.

At the same time, James took 160 acres in the Parish of Urabrible.

Road No 1 In 1880, a new road through Rocky Glen and Mullaley to Gunnedah was under construction.

It entered town via Namoi Street and the easy crossing on the river, near the pound

yard. This was changed when a bridge was built over the Castlereagh at the northern end of John Street in 1885. It was erected by Mitchell and Jones, contractors of Mudgee. The contract price was £1,371/17/2. It was in the same place as the present bridge, which replaced the old one in 1926 – at just over double the cost.

Road No 2 The new road over the bridge, leading to Gunnedah, did not follow the route of the present highway. lt led from John Street, straight along Chappell Avenue and over the top of the Gunnedah Hill.

In 1882, Robert Nowland was given permission to run h i s mail co a ch f ro m Coonabarabran to Rocky Glen by the new government road.

His original route to Gunnedah had been by Garrawilla, Jackson’s Goolhi and Clark’s Ghoolendaddy. Now, instead of the bullock track through the scrub, he was able to use the newly-formed road, three chains wide.

Road No 3 lt was not until April, 1898, that the road around the base of the hill was completed. There had been a lagoon there.

Horse-drawn vehicles found it a much easier road to travel than the steep climb up the hill.

Road No 4 The new road to the south of the town went by way of Warkton and Merrygoen to Mendooran.

Mr John Stewart, who had a selection on Jack Halls Creek, was one of the first contractors. The route had been reserved

from lease in 1881.

Road No 5 The River Road was practically the same as it is to this day. Land along this road was well occupied and it had been used from the beginning of the settlement of the district.

Road No 6 The Purlewaugh Road had, from the earliest times, been the main route to Coolah, Cassilis, and Maitland, by way of Ulamambri Station.

With the increase in the number of selectors in the Purlewaugh district, it became very well used as their means of getting to town. It led from Horsley Street, across the corner of what is now the nursing home, that practically followed its present route.

Storytime Each year we invite the preschool students to join us in the Kindergarten/ Year 1 classroom for the National Simultaneous Storytime.

T h i s ye a r ’s s t or y was Bowerbird Blues, a magical tale of a birds search for blue treasures, resulting in an unexpected connection. We greatly enjoyed sharing the story and promoting a love of reading.

Coonabarabran Public Last week, the entire primary school population across the country stopped on Wednesday for National Simultaneous Story Time.

At CPS, students from 5 / 6 M , wh o h ad b e e n practicing, delivered a short but enthusiastic performance reading for each class in the school of “Bowerbird Blues”. What a fun time each class had, laughing at their antics and enjoying the story.

In other performances, our students were treated t o a f a nt a s t i c mu s i c session by Benji, from Beats and Pieces. Benji travelled all the way from Melbourne and taught u s s ome g r e et i ng s i n mandarin and showed us how to use some Auslan signs We played some games, listened to him play his instrument, which was similar to a guitar, and also enjoyed listening to

Then, to top off a week of music and performance, our imaginations were ignited by a Musicaviva touring group. They began w ith a g roup ci rcu la r storytelling in which we created an across-theworld tale of birds and volcanoes and surfing on lava.

They then entertained us with a variety of strange instruments, explaining what improvised music was a nd how you ca n improvise with music and words.

We then played a game about throwing words back and forth. Tom and Keanu had a rigorous round, but were overshadowed by Mrs Meyers and Ms Hawkins, who competed very well with a round of school words.

Kookas hobble the Tennis comp success Geurie Goats The Coonabarabran Kookas produced a rugby performance against the Geurie Goats last Saturday, which was up there with the best that has been played on Number Three Oval.

RUGBY UNION The stars of the show was their tight five – Brad Chapman, Ethan Thirkell, Dan Oakes, Sam Cleary and Brad Pugh. For 80 minutes t he y pu l v e r i s e d t he G oat s’ at t ack a nd it was relentless i n its execution. Nearly every t r y w a s f o r mu l at e d f r om t h i s me r c i l e s s dest r uc t ion , a s t i me after time they turned the Goats’ attack into a Kookas raid.

At lock was Kookas’ captain A lexander K n i g ht , a nd he wa s not standing in a prim uniform, he was down in the boiler room pumping up the pressure with the crew.

T he Kookas kicked off and what happened next rema i ns a bit of a myster y. A s the spectators were settling in, there in middle of the pitch was Dan Oakes in full flight – and the old war horse was setting a cracking pace. The odd Goat was in the way, but his momentum was still heading in the right direction.

About 20 strides out he off-loaded to Alexander K n ight , who had h is tacho red lining, and the crowd was roaring. At the line a mob of Goats formed a barrier, and that was where Tyler Frazer joined the act.

A specialist for slipping through tight spaces,

Frazer finished the move with a superb try.

T he nex t tr y was a gem, w ith Da rcy Cl i f t on putti ng on a side-stepping spectacle straight up the middle.

A penalty to the Goats led t o a l i ne out a nd Brad Chapman soared high to steal it and the Kookas’ confidence was growing.

Geurie was desperate to get the ball out to their outside backs who looked fast – and were! They just could not get the ball out quick enough, as the Kookas created havoc with its delivery.

Sam Cleary and Brad Pugh were instrumental in that havoc.

A line-out steal from our captain sent Brad Pugh over for a try and within minutes a fresh John Milgate finished a Kookas’ forward drive that rolled down from t he h a l f way l i ne . A flawless display of brute rugby skills.

Geurie finally spread the ball wide and their r u n n e r s c l app e d o n the pace. They had the Kookas chasing air for a change and the Goats ran in superb backs’ try out wide.

The half time score was 26 to 5.

Within minutes of the restart the Goats scored thei r second tr y and converted it. They were getting into a mold that was producing results.

Their fast men out wide were getti ng tu r f t o

stretch their hooves on.

Ethan Thirkell, Lonnie Stone, Tom Cleary and Wade Frazer were sent t o a l l cor ners of the paddock to yard them in and they were very effective sorties.

The score settled on 26 to 12, when out of the blue A lex Ni xon was on a run. It was not fast, but his eyes were looking for speed and Karl Calleija took a brilliant pop pass from him and accelerated in a blur to the try line.

With the score-line 31 to 12 the Kookas looked safe, but the Goats again found gaps out wide to score. Our reserves started to trickle on and Geurie scored through our forwards; no fault of the reserves as the G oats were only f ive metres out and we were regrouping.

With the score sitting on 34 to 22 it was getting slightly nail biting for us spectators and those Goats were niggling our composure. The Kookas reserves settled in and their fresh energy had us searching for points.

A mag ic defencesplitting run between Darcy Cli fton and Wade Frazer saw Nick Tabuyalewa smash his way over to score.

The Kookas took off from here and Clifton scored two more tries.

With the clock ticking over to the 80-minute mark, Sam Cleary and Nick Tabuyalewa put in

two tackles that echoed off the Warrumbungles – and that sealed the game at 53 to 22.

I think the Kookas’ captain was pretty happy with the performance of h is crew. T he mat ch gravitated to a pattern that saw nearly every try scored from the base of the for wards, who were setting the phases faultlessly. The backs did their strikes straight up the middle. It was a very compact style of rugby and on the day it was very effective.

It was a very enter ta in ing game (f r om b oth t e a ms).

Very rewarding for the Kookas’ spectators to see their team display 80 minutes of rugby that was fun to watch.

Next week we play Yeoval away.

Unicorns go down to Roosters In round five of the Castlereagh League competition, the Cobar Roosters bounced back from their loss at home to Coolah the previous week to just edge out the Coonabarabran Unicorns in a hard-fought affair at Coonabarabran last Saturday, the final score being 32 to 28.

CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE T he Un ic or n s w i l l head down the Newell to resume their friendship w ith the Gi lga nd ra Panthers this Saturday, 1 June, and this is very much shaping as a game in which the Panthers must make a statement as to their ability to climb the ladder after a

disappointing start to their season, which has thus far only netted them one win.

The two benchmark teams in the league-tag competition, the Dunedoo S wa n net t e s a nd t he Narromine Jets turned it on again, at Dunedoo’s R ober t s on O va l l a st Saturday, in what was a memorable Jessica Skinner Challenge Cup match.

2023, the Swannettes have been the only team to have held the Jessica Skinner Cup – that is, until last Saturday when the Jets won 26 to 22 in front of a large and appreciative crowd.

In other league tag news, the Gulgong Terriers pulled off, what many might consider to be an upset win over the previously undefeated Coolah Flyers at Coolah winning a tight game 14 to 12 after both sides had scored three tries.

Meanwhile, at Coonamble, the Bearettes won another close game, taking down the Baradine Magpies 20 to 16, while Gilgandra’s Pink Panthers celebrated thei r f i rst w i n si nce 2 0 2 2 a f t e r dow n i n g Binnaway 14 to 4, and Cobar was too strong for Coonabarabran, winning 52-4.

While the Skinner Cup may have found a new home, the Boronia Cup is staying in Coolah, with the ‘Roos first defence of the prized silverware seeing them blitz the 2 023 premiers, the Gulgong Terriers, to the tune of 56 to 14, romping in for five tries in each half in what was another very impressive display by the only unbeaten side in the first-grade competition this year.

The ’Roos will not be defending the Cup next Saturday, as they will be heading up to Baradine to take on a Magpies’ outfit that would have been disappointed in their 48 to 18 capitulation to Coonamble last weekend.

NORTH WEST

Equestrian EXPO

COONABARABRAN: FRIDAY, 31ST MAY – TUESDAY, 4TH JUNE 2024

A splash of convenience with new wash bays

In response to attendee feedback, the North West Equestrian Expo committee has funded the installation of two new wash bays, catering to horses in stables away from main areas.

by GEORGIA SPENCE With Expo just around the corner, preparations for the highly-anticipated event have ramped up at the Coonabarabran Showground, as organisers unveil a new addition to the facilities.

The decision to install the wash bays was s purred by the d e m a n d f ro m r i d e r s and the desire by the committee to continue to provide a high standard of dedication and development for Expo attendees.

Previously, the area designated for stables lacked facilities to wash the 100 or so horses, and riders needed to take their horse to one of the main facilities for washing.

Concerns about d ra i n a g e i n i ti a l l y l e d organisers to consider locating the wash bays downhill.

A f te r d e l i b e r a t i o n , they opted to place them at the top of the grounds, ensuring both convenience and safety for riders and their horses.

Constructed in a relatively short period of time, the wash bays were built with functionality and practicality in mind.

The process involved

removing the old fe n c i n g , l ayi n g d own a c o n c rete s l a b , a n d installing new railings to securely enclose the area.

Bore water, sourced o n s i te , w i l l b e u s e d for washing, with town water reserved for kitchen and rest-room facilities.

Expo chairman, Kevin S ha rp s a i d wh i l e th e wash bays serve as an addition to Expo, their benefits extend beyond the event itself. “ Horse sports are a focal point at the showgrounds, with regular meetings of the C o o na b a ra b ra n Po ny Club and Warrumbungle Eventing Club,” Mr Sharp said.

“These upgrades not only enhance the ex p e r i e n c e fo r E x p o attendees , but also provide expanded o p p o r tu n iti es fo r th e community groups that utilise the facilities. “ T h e re h a s b e e n a lot of investment from the Expo committee to improve the grounds for all to use."

The commitment from Expo organisers to reinvest in the showgrounds is evident thro u g h va rio u s past projects, including the reconstruction of an old

hut and the restoration of the cattle pavilion.

Upgrades have focused on the enhancement of Expo’s offerings, with the aim to attract visitors year round.

The Expo committee h a s a l s o i nve s te d i n upgraded amenities and expanded power infrastructure for

campers.

The committee has ambitious plans for further upgrades, such as the development of a multipurpose centre to replace the aging Beer Pavilion.

While funding for such projects remains a challenge, organisers are hopeful that partnerships and grants

can make these visions a reality.

Mr Sharp said th i s yea r ’s E xp o wa s shaping up to be a great event, with the g ro u n d s i n exc e l l e nt condition and the event organisers across various disciplines all well prepared.

Funds are being spent o n t h e m a i n te n a n c e

of th e c ro s s - c o u ntr y course to continue to keep riders and horses safe.

T h i s ye a r, a s l i g h t change has been made to the gymkhana, but a l te rati o n s to eve nts remain minimal due to strong traditions and pos itive feed back o n their annual operation.

The N or th West

Equestrian Expo will run from Friday, 31 May to Tuesday, 4 June. Entry to Expo is free and Mr Sharp encourages the com mu nity to at tend and support the riders.

Popular events include the polocrosse on the Saturday and Sunday evening, and team barrels on the Monday evening.

H AV E YOU M E T . . . H A RRIE T HE AT HCOT E (with daughter, Maggie, who will make her Expo debut in 2035!)

How long have you been involved in equestrian sports? A long time! Apparently I debuted at the Bathurst show when I was three.

What Expo event are you stewarding? The Expo Gymkhana and Team Hunt – I’ve been helping out every year possible since my last year riding at Expo in 2008.

Can you explain your discipline in one sentence? The Team Hunt is a military-style drill where four riders start individually, (single file) form pairs (half sections) and then form a team of four (section) whilst jumping a long jump. The team is judged on equitation, presentation and execution.

The Expo Gymkhana is less formal ring events, with the main event being the Mount Most Suitable to Expo, which is looking for a horse and rider partnership that can jump a jump, crack a stock whip, bounce a polo crosse ball and canter around a barrel proficiently.

Any memorable moments or highlights from Expo over the years? Every year there is always something that happens that we laugh about for years to come.

Interestingly, I never rode at a wet Expo, we always had very dry and dusty conditions.

19 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 30 May 2024

What do you think sets Expo apart from other equestrian events? It has always felt different to every other event. I think it’s the bush atmosphere with the fires, whip-cracking, practicing polo crosse, the commentary of the six bar and so on. And there is a huge emphasis on teams throughout the whole event, which is great, because equestrian is a very individual sport.

Are there any challenges or unique aspects to stewarding the event that people might not be aware of? How enjoyable it is, not only at the event, but in the preparation and aftermath. There are also a lot of helpers assisting behind-the-scenes.

How do you stay warm during Expo? Befriending a school with a great fire.

Favourite Expo fuel (food)? There’s something special about Rotary’s bacon and egg rolls.

Best thing about Expo? The diversity of disciplines, events and horses. I’ve also had family members competing since I’ve left and it’s been great watching them.

What advice would you give to newcomers or aspiring riders interested in your event? Practice!

Community impact

With the North West Equestrian Expo rolling into town, community volunteer groups are buckling up for another year.

by ELEANOR RAPLEY The coordination of almost 500 riders is a mammoth task, but the committed volunteers allow for a seamles s running of the program.

From Expo’s inception in 1991 as a one-day event, a number of community groups have been unfailing in keeping the event going and mouths fed , a nd have ra ised substantial funds for their efforts.

Coonabarabran H i g h S ch o o l was th e original starting point for

Expo, and has always maintained a role in the organising committee.

Two staff members from the school currently hold positions, with many volunteering their time to steward events.

“The P&C contribute t i m e to s u p p o r t t h e event, either running the canteen or managing merchandise,” said current relieving principal, Duncan Graham.

This has led to technology improvements in classrooms, helping fund the purchase of the

school car, and upgraded library facilities.

An annual scholarship is also presented during awards night for a select student or two who represented the school at Expo.

The partnership between the school and Expo is one that has benefited both i m m e n s e l y, a n d i s a source of great pride for the school community.

Currently celebrating their 75th year as an organisation, the Rotary Club of Coonabarabran

has a long-established relationship with Expo, providing catering services for participants, families, teachers, volunteers and spectators.

“Cooking begins on the barbecue very early each morning – from a full breakfast menu with eggs cooked any number of ways, to salads,” said R ot a r y s e c ret a r y, J o Wilkin. “ Favourites are the hamburgers, beef and gravy rolls and.,of course. a bucket of chips with gravy on top.”

Rotary never fails to ensure the people are just as pampered and well fed as the horses, and no one suffers the cold on an empty stomach.

Expo is the club’s biggest catering fundraiser every year, and a l l th e m o n ey ra i se d goes back to the local community.

It is through the work of groups such as the High School and Rotary that allow Expo to operate, regardless of the oftenunpredictable weather or other circumstances.

H AV E YOU M E T . . . REN L E T T S (with daughter, Alex, who competed in her last Expo in 2023) How long have you been involved in equestrian sports? For as long as I can remember. I participated in the first Expo in 1992 when I was 14. I still enjoy riding and continue to compete in Eventing.

What Expo event are you stewarding? Working Horse Challenge (WHC). I became involved when my family moved back to the area.

Can you explain your discipline in one sentence? WHC showcases the horse and rider combination’s agility, speed, precision and horsemanship skills.

Any memorable moments or highlights from Expo over the years? Watching my own children compete over the years and enjoying themselves.

What do you think sets Expo apart from other equestrian events? I love how Coona Expo has old-school camping, school tents, smokey fires, camp ovens and barbecues. Catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.

Are there any challenges or unique aspects

to stewarding the event that people might not be aware of? WHC is one of the popular events, with almost 300 riders entered.

Saturday is a qualifying round and the top 10 from each age make it into the Sunday final.

Scoring, marshalling and making sure it all flows smoothly – 300 competitors is a very large number!

How do you stay warm during Expo? Layers – lots of layers.

Favourite Expo fuel (food)? We are very spoiled at Expo as we have the Bakery and the Rotary Club. But I can’t go past a good pumpkin soup on a cold day.

Best thing about Expo? The atmosphere of the Team Barrel race – 500 horses lined up, feeling the excitement and the cheer of the riders. It’s a pretty awesome sight.

What advice would you give to newcomers or aspiring riders interested in your event?

Know your patterns, give it a go and just enjoy the ride. Oh – and smile!

Your Guide to Focus on Finance

Australian Taxation Office flags three key focus areas for this tax time As ‘tax time’ approaches, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has announced it will be taking a close look at three common errors being made by taxpayers: • Incorrectly claiming work-related expenses.

• Inflating claims for rental properties.

• Failing to include all income when lodging.

ATO Assistant Commissioner Rob Thomson said the ATO is focused on supporting taxpayers to get their lodgment right the first time.

“These are the areas that people are most likely to get wrong, and while these mistakes are often genuine, sometimes they are deliberate. Take the time to get your return right,” he said.

Work-related expenses In 2023 more than eight million people claimed a work-related deduction, and around half of those claimed a deduction related to working from home.

Last year, the ATO revised the fixed rate method of calculating a working from home deduction to broaden what is included, increase the rate, and adjust the records you need to keep.

These changes are now in full effect this financial year, meaning you must have comprehensive records to substantiate your claims as you would for any other deduction.

To use this method, you need records that show the actual number of hours you worked from home (like a calendar, diary or spreadsheet), and the additional running costs you incurred to claim a deduction (like a copy of your electricity or internet bill).

“Deductions for working from home expenses can be calculated using the actual cost or the fixed rate method, and keeping good records gives you the flexibility to use the method that works for you, and claim the expenses you are entitled to,” Mr Thomson said.

“Copying and pasting your working from home claim from last year may be tempting, but this will likely mean we will be contacting you for a ‘please explain’.

“Your deductions will be disallowed if you’re not eligible or you don’t keep the right records.”

Remember, there are three golden rules for claiming a deduction for any work-related expense: You must have spent the money yourself and weren’t reimbursed.

The expense must directly relate to earning your income.

We know some prefer to tick their tax return off the to-do list early and not have to think about it for another 12 months, but the best way to ensure you get it right is to wait for just a few weeks to lodge.

You must have a record (usually a receipt) to prove it.

Rental properties Rental properties continue to remain in the ATO’s sights. Data shows nine out of 10 rental property owners are getting their income tax returns wrong.

“We often see landlords making mistakes when it comes to repairs and maintenance deductions on rental properties, so we’re keeping a close eye on this.

“This year, we’re particularly focused on claims that may have been inflated to offset increases in rental income to get a greater tax benefit,” Mr Thomson said.

Performing general repairs and maintenance on your rental property can be claimed as an immediate deduction. However, expenses which are capital in nature (like initial repairs on a newly purchased property and any improvements during the time you hold the property) are not deductible as repairs or maintenance.

“You can claim an immediate deduction for general repairs like replacing damaged carpet or a broken window. But if you rip out an old kitchen and put in a new and improved one, this is a capital improvement and is only deductible over time as capital works.

“We encourage rental property owners to carefully review their records before lodging their return and take care to ensure they are claiming deductions correctly,” Mr Thomson said.

As reporting rental income and deductions can be complex, many individual rental owners choose to use a registered tax agent to help them prepare their income tax returns.

“Ensuring you provide full and complete records to your registered tax agent allows them to prepare your tax return correctly, so you claim everything you’re entitled to and nothing that you’re not,” Mr Thomson said.

Get it right – wait to lodge

The ATO is also warning against rushing to lodge your tax return on July 1.

If you have received income from multiple sources, you need to wait until this is prefilled in your tax return before lodging.

“We see lots of mistakes in July where people have forgotten to include interest from banks, dividend income, payments from other government agencies and private health insurers,” said Mr Thomson.

For most people, this information will be automatically pre-filled in their tax return by the end of July. This will make the tax return process smoother, save you time, and help you get your tax return right.

“By lodging in early July, you are doubling your chances of having your tax return flagged as incorrect by the ATO.” “We know some prefer to tick their tax return off the to-do list early and not have to think about it for another 12 months, but the best way to ensure you get it right is to wait for just a few weeks to lodge.

“You can check if your employer has marked your income statement as ‘tax ready’ as well as if your pre-fill is available in myTax before you lodge. That way, an amendment doesn’t need to be made later, which could result in unnecessary delays,’ Mr Thomson said.

Know what you can and can’t claim Remember there are three golden rules when it comes to claiming a deduction for a work-related expense: You must have spent the money yourself and weren’t reimbursed.

It must directly relate to earning your income.

And you must have a record (usually a receipt) to prove it.

Sinclair trains historic Boolooroo Cup first-four

By BILL POULOS

Trainer Peter Sinclair created a unique slice of picnic-racing history at Moree on Saturday when his quartet of runners in the 1400m Boolooroo Cup filled the first four placings in the time-honoured race.

The meeting marked 100 years of picnic racing in Moree, and a huge crowd turned up to celebrate the milestone in perfect autumn weather. Diplomation won the inaugural Boolooroo Cup in 1924

and, 100 years later, Peak Road and apprentice Arthur Pollock – both unknowns before Saturday – arrived in the nick of time to collar the centenary cup.

Pollock – having his first day out as a jockey – guided Peak Road to a narrow win from stablemates Waitapu, Fiocchi and Always Hunting. Fiocchi tried to lead all the way and Waitapu came from the clouds, but Peak Road snuck through at just the right time to score by a half-length.

Sinclair, now based at Murwillumbah, praised his Moree team,

saying all credit belonged to stable boss Amee Hobday, apprentice Jacob Golden and strapper Zoe Mather.

“To get the first four across the line in the 100th running of the Boolooroo Cup is truly amazing, and an absolute honour, but all credit goes to Amee and the team,” Sinclair said.

“It’s been an incredible day for the stable. Our jockey was riding at his first meeting and the winner, Peak Road, is the first horse Zoe has led out on race-day. To make it even better, Amee is a part-owner

Casual speeding is the biggest cause of trauma on NSW roads

of the winner,” he smiled.

Sinclair can rightly call the Boolooroo Cup his own.

He’s won the race 17 times since Sahara Bounty started the trend in 1995.

Sinclair also trained Midas Boy (2000-2001), Nepelle (2003), Jazzmaker (2007), Crystal Club (2012), Joppick (2013), Tapakeg (2014), One Double (2015), Dungiven (2016), Track Flash (2017-18-19), Liberty Head (2021) and Fiocchi in 2022 and 2023.

‘We’ll look at Mallawa in two weeks’ time, see how they all pull

up, and probably head that way,” Sinclair said.

The trainer won last year’s Mallawa Cup with Fiocchi, third on Saturday after consecutive wins in 2022 and 2023.

Punters, patrons, owners, trainers, jockeys and horse floats head west to Mallawa on June 8 to take in round two of bush racing’s Golden Triangle.

The meeting, first held in 1930, features the $12,000 Mallawa Cup (1400m) and $10,000 Mallawa Bracelet (1000m). Supporting races are each worth $7000.

Wendy Baldwin the toast of Moree

By BILL POULOS

Wendy Baldwin is the toast of Moree after sweeping two major prizes at the District 90 Toastmasters’ Finals in Sydney last week.

Ms Baldwin faced opposition from across NSW in two categories, and won them both.

In the table topics category, her subject was What Every Person Should Know, with the objective being to teach people how to speak on the spot.

“Many have found this is a useful skill for job interviews and presentations, where follow-up questions are often asked,” Ms Baldwin said.

There were eight contestants from Parramatta to the Queensland border and each was required to speak for two minutes.

Ms Baldwin followed up in the humorous category, with a speech entitled The Super Dooper Snake Whacker.

“The story was a tall tale based on a real-life, snake-wrangling experience,” Ms Baldwin smiled.

Speakers were given between five and seven-and-a-half minutes to present their speech and again Ms Baldwin came up trumps, defeating seven rivals.

She said there were two reasons for her success in Sydney.

“Firstly, and most importantly,

is the fact I’m a member of Moree Toastmasters’ Club,” she said.

“A humorous speech is only funny twice. My fellow Moree Toastmasters listened to the speech over and over and kept giving constructive suggestions, until a good speech became a winning speech – that’s the beauty of Toastmasters.”

Secondly, Ms Baldwin is the daughter of Inverell treasure Brian Baldwin, the race-caller and auctioneer well-known for his deep vocals and word-perfect exchanges.

“If a child of Brian Baldwin couldn’t speak, there would be a stewards’ inquiry,” Ms Baldwin laughed.

Fellow Moree toastmaster Annette Hadley said Ms Baldwin competed against the best in NSW. “This clearly shows bush toastmasters are as good as their Sydney and coastal counterparts,” Ms Hadley said.

“District 90 has more than 3000 members in 150 clubs across 35 areas and seven divisions, meaning Wendy had to win her way through three levels of competition to reach the finals.”

Ms Hadley said Moree Toastmasters’ members meet regularly to enjoy each other’s company while supporting and encouraging one another to improve.

The group also aims to help people hone other skills such as



leadership, presentation, impromptu speaking and personal brand development.

“It also focuses on qualities such as fostering self-confidence, personal growth and enhanced interpersonal skills,” Ms Hadley said.

“Whether it’s to overcome a fear

of public speaking, or develop more rounded skills in other areas, all are invited to attend Toastmasters’ meetings.”

There is no charge and individuals can attend as observers with no requirement to participate.

“You don’t have to say a word

until you want to. Rather, people are invited to come along and enjoy the fun generated by the group,” Ms Hadley said.

Toastmasters in Moree is held every second and fourth Monday of the month at the Country University Centre.

Minchin Moore provide independent financial advice and investment management solutions, helping successful people at every stage in life, make sensible, well thought out decisions about their money.

The vision at Minchin Moore is simple: To be the most trusted, advice practice in Australia, where the sole focus would be delivering excellence in advice and support services that aim to make the administration of your financial affairs easier.

Minchin Moore was formed from a hand-picked team who pride themselves on the highest standard of advice to their clients.

With offices in Mosman (Sydney), Melbourne, Adelaide and Orange and the New England and North West NSW. New England and North West NSW clients are serviced from offices at Tamworth and Walcha.

Financial advisers Craig Benham and Lucinda Mulligan are based in the Tamworth office

with Angus Warden based in Walcha.

The highly qualified team at Minchin Moore specialises in financial advice and individually managed investment portfolios to meet the needs of their clients.

Minchin Moore aims to create fully integrated, holistic financial solutions for regionally based clients and farming families.

The firm believes that its clients have the most to gain by looking at their financial life holistically.

This means building a strategic plan and an investment plan that is tailored to clients' unique goals and circumstances.

The range of financial advice provided is diverse and unique for each individual or family.

This can include more specific advice on matters such as superannuation and investment through to business succession and family stewardship.

For family based advice and planning, Minchin Moore places education at the core of its advice, offering coaching to family members of each generation, helping the family to articulate their values and establish the framework that ensures the intended legacy transfer from one generation to the next.

At this time of the year, there

are specific end of financial year considerations, particularly in relation to superannuation.

Prior to financial year end there is the opportunity to maximise Concessional Contributions (CC), or tax deductible contributions, up to the $27,500 annual limit for 2023/24.

There is also the consideration of ‘Unused Carry Forward Concessional Contributions’ limits.

This rule allows individuals to make additional CCs from up to five previous financial years.

This financial year is the last opportunity to use any unused CCs for the 2018/19 year, as they will fall outside the five-year window after June 30, 2024.

There are eligibility conditions and guidance on how to check your Unused Carried Forward Concessional limit is available via your MyGov records.

There is a significant ‘checklist’

for financial year end planning to consider including other avenues for superannuation contributions such as off-market share transfers, reviewing plans for capital gains along with record keeping and administration requirement to attend to, particularly for self-managed super funds.

Minchin Moore is passionate about investing and can work with you to develop an investment program that allows you to feel confident in your portfolio’s ability to meet longer term goals.

Key to this is establishing an investment philosophy that meets your risk tolerance and that can guide your decisions on how to invest.

Minchin Moore recognises that each of its clients is an individual, with their own objectives, values and beliefs.

The vision at Minchin Moore is simple: To be the most trusted, advice practice in Australia, where the sole focus would be delivering excellence in advice and support services that aim to make the administration of your financial affairs easier.

The firm seeks to embody these unique sentiments into each client’s investment portfolio – while simultaneously ensuring that the most contemporary portfolio theory and process is applied to how the portfolio is managed.
