Golden celebrations for CHS Coonabarabran High School celebrated its 50th anniversary last weekend, with a fun-filled lineup of festivities.

by JIMMY WHALAN The 50 years celebrations kicked off on Friday night with the Celebrate CHS Showcase in the school hall.

The Showcase was an exciting evening of musical and dramatic performances including a performance of Skyfall from the CHS Jazz Band and a per formance of Hamlette by Allison Williams, a quirky reimagination of Shakespeare’s famous play in which the title character ‘Hamlet’ is a woman, ‘Hamlette.’

After the show, the audience was treated to a delicious supper prepared by the CHS commerce class.

The festivities continued on Saturday with a fete in the CHS courtyard. From 10am to 2pm, the high school courtyard and canteen area were lined with stalls including plants, cakes, CHS merchandise, hand-made items, brica-brac bargains, and a delicious barbecue run

by Duncan Graham and Angus Atkinson.

There was also a slideshow in the school hall featuring some memorable moments in Coona High’s history, including then Prince Charles’ visit to officially open the school in 1974.

C e l e b r a t i o n s continued into Saturday

evening with the CHS 50th Birthday Trivia Night.

The trivia night saw some familiar faces catching up and testing their knowledge of all things CHS and beyond.

Competitors enjoyed a charcuterie board and some beverages, with the winners on the night being an unbeatable group of past and present Coonabarabran High School staff led by Joe Ramage and Linda Davis.

Coonabarabran High School principal, Mary Doolan said the highlight of the night was its conclusion, when the winning team led the crowd in a rousing rendition of the school song, Forever Dare.

Ms Doolan said that the 50 years celebrations were a fabulous weekend with many highlights.

“Strong community support underpinned the weekend with very generous donations to support our fete and raffle prizes and great attendance at the three celebratory events; the showcase, fete and trivia night,” Ms Doolan said.

Ms Doolan said it was also wonderful to meet some past students of CHS including Kerry McClure and Sue Blackburn from the Year 8 class of 1973, who returned to Coona for the weekend and a walk down memory lane.

SPECIAL FEATURE: KING CHARLES III

Coonabarabran remembers Prince Charles’ 1974 visit With King Charles’ Coronation coming up this weekend, Jimmy Whalan spoke to some locals and former locals about the Coonabarabran leg of the Prince’s Australian tour in 1974 - including the opening of the new Coonabarabran High School building, which has just celebrated its 50th anniversary, and the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) at Siding Spring Observatory.

Brian Wark Brian Wark, who worked as a reporter at the Coonabarabran Times at the time of then Prince Charles’ visit, shared his recollections of the special occasion in Coonabarabran’s history.

Mr Wark said that about 12 months prior to Prince Charles’ visit, the town received word that His Royal Highness would be visiting Coonabarabran to open the AngloAustralian Telescope and officially open the new high school.

“It sticks in my mind that the Times didn’t at that time have a quality 35mm camera, so one needed to be borrowed from Namoi Valley Independent at Gunnedah,” Mr Wark said.

“Needless to say, I wasn’t an experienced photographer, so I had to learn quickly - mostly self-taught.”

Mr Wark said that when the “big day” arrived, Prince Charles flew into Coona airport where he was met by dignitaries including Shire president John Knight, Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and the director of the Australian National University (ANU).

Mr Wark recalled there were also large crowds of people including Girl Guides, Scouts and Brownies.

“Hundreds of people lined the main street and Timor Road to watch the motorcade pass by, including students of St Lawrence’s Primary School. I believe the road to the observatory was specially cleaned for the occasion.”

Mr Wark also said that the security wasn’t as strong back then as it is now and that it was relatively easy to get close up photos of the Prince as he met Coonabarabran High School principal Gordon Birkett, the school captains and students.

“From all reports, he was very approachable and genuinely interested in people,” Mr Wark said.

Russell Border Russell Border, who was captain of Coonabarabran High School at the time, shared some of his memories of Prince Charles’ visit.

Mr Border said that from what he can remember, he and the other school captain, Rosemary Simpson had gifted Prince Charles a small school flag with a small pin attached.

Mr Border also recalled that there were scripted practice runs of what should be said to the Prince when he visited and that there had even been requests for some students to get haircuts, but that they didn’t get around to it.

“I recall that Charles had a bad case of peeling skin from sunburn,” Mr Border said.

“I think they had been in New Zealand and maybe Fiji before Coona.

“I remember a few stories of when the officials went downtown, I think one of the locals put the bite on Gough Whitlam for money for a beer.”

Lyne Unicomb Lyne Unicomb said she remembers that on the day Prince Charles arrived in Coonabarabran she took the day off work and went up to the airport with her mum.

She said the whole town was abuzz.

Mrs Unicomb said that with the coronation coming up she will be tuning in for the momentous ceremony.

“I absolutely love the royal family and the King is still the head of the British Commonwealth so still very relevant to our way of life,” Ms Unicomb said.

“One of our forever memories is standing in the middle of London singing “God Save the Queen” with tens of thousands of people the day William and Kate were married! Oh, and wearing cardboard Burger King crowns all day.”

Coronation weekend On Saturday, 6 May the Coronation Ceremony for His Majesty The King will take place at Westminster Abbey, London.

The ceremony will be conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury and will see His Majesty King Charles III crowned alongside The Queen Consort, Camilla.

A statement given by the royal family in October 2022 said that the coronation would “ref lect the monarch’s role today and look towards the future, while being rooted in longstanding traditions and pageantry.”

The British royal family released further information at the beginning of this year, detailing the coronation ceremony, celebrations and community events that will take place over the ‘Coronation Weekend’, from Saturday, 6 May to Monday, 8 May 2023.

“Their Majesties The King and The Queen Consort hope the C oronation Weekend w i l l prov ide a n opportunity to spend time and celebrate with friends, families and communities across the United Kingdom,” a statement from the palace read.

“Their Majesties are looking forward to marking the occasion with the public throughout 2023.”

The centrepiece of the night, ‘Lighting up the Nation’, is set to light up iconic locations across the UK with displays of coloured lights using projectors, lasers, and drone displays.

Sunday, 7 May 2023: Coronation Big Lunch The Coronation Big Lunch is an event across the United Kingdom in which communities are encouraged to get together on Sunday, 7 May.

SPECIAL FEATURE: KING CHARLES III

Royal memories flagged for Siding Spring staff Coonabarabran resident, Rob Dean was given an important role when Prince Charles visited the Anglo Australian Observatory in 1974.

by LIZ CUTTS Rob Dean admits he was nervous when he met King Charles III, formerly the Prince of Wales.

A lmost f i fty years ago on 16 October, 1974 t he A n g lo Au st r a l i a n Obser vat or y ( A AO) at Siding Spring telescope was opened by the future monarch.

R ob had not long started as a computer/ ele ctron ics t e ch n icia n at the facility when he received an invitation to attend the official opening and given a special job to do.

“I was given the task of raising the royal standard whe n P r i n c e C h a rle s arrived, but it was not just simply a matter of raising a flag, there was protocol to adhere to,” Rob said.

“I had to watch for the exact moment the door of the car carrying his royal highness opened and as soon as his foot touched the ground, I raised the standard.

“Staff from the prime m i n i s t er ’s pr ot o c ol depa r tment c a me a nd

taught us all the things we had to do, and there was quite a bit of instruction.

“I had to know how to pull the ropes and what to do if the flag did not u n f u rl pr operly. I d id quite a bit of practising in the week leading up to the event!

“I felt nervous because I wa nt ed t o be su re everything went smoothly and it did, it was all about precision and timing.”

R ob attended the formal lunch following the opening after which he had the chance to shake hands with the prince.

“A l l A AO st a f f members were given the opportunity to meet his royal highness, which was very nice,” Rob added.

“I was able to welcome him to the site and thank him for coming. He said he wa s q u it e e x c it e d about the AAO and could see that it was a great project, but admitted he did not know much about astronomy.

“He said it was a great example of co-operation between the British and Australian governments.

3 - Coonabarabran Times, Thursday, 4th May 2023

“ The time frame was very short and he only had time to say a few words to everyone who was there.

“He was very jovial and nice to talk to and seemed to me to be just like one of us, it was a very nice experience.”

R o b s ay s t he r oy a l standard was taken down when the prince left the mountain as it is only flown in his presence.

Rob Dean has kept his invitation to the opening of the Anglo Australian Observatory by Prince Charles.

competition for writers of all ages across the Warrumbungle Shire.

It hopes to unearth and celebrate the creative talent in our region, giving writers a chance to f lex their creative muscles, win an exciting prize, and have their writing published.

April Winner: Ange Bunner They had been friends once…but once can seem like long ago.

It all seemed a little odd when they returned f r om V iet n a m . T hey were such great friends, had been on so many adventures and trips together.

I remember n ights laying in bed hearing their laughter as they poured over photos and relived their mishaps.

There was that time in Greece when one fell

overboard on the small c r u i s e b o at a nd t he other had to promise a date to get the crew to slow down so she could be hauled, soaked and shrivelled, onto the deck.

A nd that ti me i n Zimbabwe when both were thrown in the clink, a dank depressing stone cell with a metal bucket in the corner only to be very persuasive with the guard who let them go free with a warning.

T h e y ’d c e l e b r at e d with beers over Victoria Falls, feeling the spray on their warm skin.

But that tr ip t o V ietnam, ever y th i ng changed.

It h ad a l l st a r t e d out f u n a nd f u l l of adventure. Long evenings on the beach g l id i n g t h r ou g h t he warm, still water under a multitude of sta rs.

Parties and music with the beautiful coloured lanterns hanging over busy streets. The donkey ride that bucked them, trembling and giggling into the pile of sticky and savory soups and stir-frys.

And then?

I ’d r e a l l y l o v e t o know what happened.

There must have been something. An infidelity?

Money? Ha rsh words said about someone they loved? I am dy ing to know.

But what ’s a l l the laughter I am hearing?

It ’s uncontrol lable. I haven’t heard her laugh like that for an age.

Photos on the table, a long newsy letter. I can see it in her face: affection.

Looks like I let my imagination run away with me again.

Coona enjoys Easter economic boom It has been a record-breaking Easter holiday period as far as visitors to the Warrumbungle National Park is concerned.

by CHRIS WARD Visitor Centre supervisor, Alex Bain said there had never before been so many sold-out tours. ‘ Wa l k o n t h e W i l d Side’ and the ‘Astronomy’ tours, in particular, were popular.

Ms Bain said the organisation was looking to expand the Discovery program over the next 12 months.

Numbers pea ked on Easter Saturday, 15 April, with 519 people visiting the centre.

“We’ve still got a lot of interstate travellers from Victoria whose holidays finish later,” Ms Bain said.

“Over the Easter long we ekend t he c a mpi ng sites were all booked out and we’ve already fielded requests for next year.

“If people are thinking

Plan for success

they want to come back, we advise them to book in as soon as possible. “ T he October long we e k e n d w i l l b e o u r next big weekend and we definitely suggest people start booking in for that – or risk missing out.”

It was much the same story in Coonabarabran, with the influx of travellers filling up the CBD area.

Jo Cole, from Surf Work and Street, believes this holiday period had been one of the best yet.

“In particular, Easter Saturday was massive,” Mrs Cole said. “ T he Bun ny Bazaa r drew a lot of people into t ow n , t he s t r e et wa s buzzing, there was a really good atmosphere. It was really good to see.

“But even coming up to the end of the holidays last week there were still a lot of travellers in town.”

M rs C ole sa id the holiday period and the Bunny Bazaar had set her up for a good year.

H owe v e r, f ol l ow i n g speculation the Bunny Bazaar event nearly didn’t happen due too ongoing issues with the Chamber of Commerce, Mrs Cole

said more needs to be done to ensure the future of the event. “ It doesn’t ta ke t o o much for the wheels to fall off, but hopefully it has put us in a good stead for the rest of the year,” she said.

“It would be a shame for something to happen to the Bunny Bazaar; it benefits the whole commu n ity.

It’s something we would definitely like to support mov i ng for wa rd a nd hopefully other businesses will come on board as well.”

Coonabarabran Bakery was another local business that saw almost record trading over the same period.

O w ner s , A d a m a nd Jenna Flood summed it up in three words - “absolutely flat out”.

“This year was back to pre-COVID numbers,” Mr Flood said. “ We h ad lot s of travellers and locals and it was always busy.”

I m p r e s s i v e l y, t h e Bakery sold an incredible 300 dozen hot cross buns on Thursday, 13 April, and another 150 dozen on Easter Saturday.

The journey to success is a marathon, not a sprint!

While deciding what to write this month for the Coonabarabran Times, I couldn’t believe that it has been near ly 12 months since star ting o u t o n t h i s j o u r n e y.

Throughout the course of the year I have come to realise how much I’ve learnt about the process of stor y-telling, which is not an accountant’s natural skillset.

Initially there were no dramas, with plenty of i nspi ration ava i lable.

H o w eve r, ove r t i m e, more and more business commitments and personal priorities had to be juggled. Inevitably t h e re w i l l a l wa y s b e conflicting choices to make in rega rd to i nves ti ng ti me, and unexpected events that can cause stress and derail even the best of plans.

I was luck y enough to recently hear from an author and expert in time management who presented to the Forsyths leadership team, with some simple but ver y effective advice. When p l an n i ng any th i ng i n business, to always ask ourselves ‘what has the most impact in the long term?’

It seems that we are always tr ying to move

fa s te r a n d g et m o re things done in today’s fast-paced world and it so easy to get caught up on short term results and instant gratification. To be successful it is much more effective to invest in things that make a difference long term.

Here are a few tips for tackling this thought process: Think quarterly, plan weekly, act daily. Having a long-term plan is great, but you then need to star t setting some clear and measurable goals that you can use to formulate a plan of attack. This will prioritise your time and energy on the right activities and help avoid distractions.

Sta y a h e a d of t h e curve. By being proactive and thinking ahead you can anticipate changes in agriculture or other industr ies you may operate in, and gain a competitive advantage through innovating, or simply by being better informed.

Invest time in learning.

As the world of business continues to evolve, you have to stay up to date w ith the l ates t new s, trends and technologies.

Investment in continued learning always helps make better decisions.

This can be as simple as listening to a good podcast (I’ve previously m ent i o n ed Seed s fo r Success, which is worth a n ot h e r p l u g a s i t i s relevant to agriculture in our region, and easy to listen to while travelling), o r read i ng The Land, w h i ch i s fu l l of g reat informative articles that provide good, down to - ea r th advice, and of course – the Coona Times!

B u i l d s t r o n g relationships. Building

bet te r relationsh i ps with your colleagues, customers, and community will take time but will provide benefits for years to come.

Most of all, look a f te r yo u r s e l f. M a ke time to do something other than wor k and, very importantly, strike a healthy balance between work and down time with those you love.

Any business, whether it is a farm or otherwise, will benefit from a plan.

It might take 10 years to

get where you want to be, but having a simple plan will get you started.

This is my last article in this ser ies and so I hope you have gained so m eth i ng a l o ng the way with me. For now, this is me signing off and I hope to see you round!

If you are starting off or growing a new business come and see the team at Forsyths for help with setting yourself up for success!

This year’s Bunny Bazaar drew a good crowd, with lots of spending in store.

Cattle A f t er l a s t we ek ’s national cattle yarding of 55,444 head (54% or 19,0 0 0 head above the 2 023 week ly average), cattle numbers tightened substantially this week.

As expected, the A N Z AC Day publ ic holiday saw numbers fall sharply. In anticipation

of t he publ ic hol id ay, producers chose to off load larger numbers of stock the week before (in turn driving higher supply).

Evidence of the challeng ing market environment at present can be seen in the E ast er n You ng Cat tle I nd ic at or ’s ( E YC I ) performance this week.

It ’s e x p e c t e d t h at numbers will return to the more ‘normal’ preApr i l levels. Supply of sheep a nd lambs is expected to remain strong well into winter due to the growing flock

and improved flexibility of producers to turn-off older, non-p er for m i ng ewes.

Processor-bought lambs ended the week softer, with heavy and trade lambs sof ten i ng 10 ¢ a nd 16 ¢ / k g c w t respectively. The heavy l a mb i nd i c at or ende d the week at 6 8 9¢ a nd the trade lamb finished at 684¢/kg cwt, despite a strong sale at Wagga Wagga.

Current CHS captains, Declan Eshman and Alex Letts said that it was great to see so many people at

the showcase, fete and trivia night in celebration o f t h e s c h o o l ’s 5 0 t h anniversary. As well as a weekend of celebration, t h e c a p t a i n s commented that it was also an incredibly helpful fund-raising opportunity, helping to raise $7000 in

support of the Year 12 graduation formal.

“Having these events fund-raise for our Year 12 formal was incredibly helpful and we are grateful for the effor t everyone put in to make them a reality.

“It was also fantastic

to see many community members who attended Coonaba rab ran High reminiscing about their school days and experiences here.”

Moving for ward, Ms D oo l an sa id that the tradition of CHS being a s ch o o l w i t h s t ro n g

Ribbon bonanza for goat stud A local boer goat stud has been amongst the honours at several recent goat championships.

In March 2023, Carben Boer Goat Stud attended the Southern Aurora Championships in G oulburn where t he y pi c ke d up s ome ribbons, with the stud’s buck, ‘ Yeramba Finnegan’, taking out the Intermediate Champion Buck category.

Stepping up to the big one – the Sydney Royal Easter Show, the stud was again awarded ribbons, i n c l u d i n g Ye r a m b a F i n ne g a n pi c k i n g up the title for Junior Buck Champion.

Carben Boer Goat Stud is located 20 kilometres south of Coonabarabran, r u n by hu sba nd- a ndwife team, Ben and Cara Mayall on their 700-acre property.

“Our family moved to Coonabarabran four years ago,” Cara said. “ We w e r e r u n n i n g commercial goats, crossing them with boer bu c k s t o g e t he av ie r meat carcasses, until we branched into stud boer goats in September 2021.

“Starting Carben Boer Goat Stud we have sourced quality genetics from wellknown boer goat studs

in NSW to start our own breeding program.

“By going to goat shows we are assured that we are following the breed standard to the highest of quality.”

Cara said she was also proud with what her young daughter achieved at the Royal Easter Show. “ Ou r 12 -yea r- old d au g ht er, A n g el , h a s also tried her hand at

Junior Judging and Junior Handler, which is a great opportunity for her.

“And she picked up a fourth at Sydney Royal aga i nst much older competitors!”

From National Park tours to candle-making classes, there was no shortage of activities to choose from during the recent school holidays.

According to manager of ch i ld ren’s a nd c om mu n it y s er v ic e s , Ngai re Stevens, the operation was a “ huge success” with over 250 young people taking part. “ The Colour Run and barbecue in Coonabarabran on Friday, 21 April was a huge hit and 70 kilograms of colou red cha l k was also delivered to Coolah

for WORD

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

1. Do you have a nickname? People call me Ravioli.

2 . What ’s your day job? I’m the Pastor of the Coonabarabran and Coonamble Seventh Day Adventist Church.

3. What have you been up to today?

I’ve been away setting up camp for a month—every year the Adventist Church runs what we call ‘Big Camp’ fo r the month of Apr i l. Close to 5000 people go there and camp at Stuarts Point. So today I’ve just been catching up on work, organising my visitations.

4. What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had? I’ve had so many!

I’ve wo r ke d i n a b i cyc l e s h o p, motorcycle shop, in air-conditioning and construction, a mattress factory, tiling, motorcycle tyre factory, and for the church in various roles.

5 . H ow wo u l d yo u r f r i e n d s a n d family describe you in three words?

They would probably say humble, hardworking and kind.

6. What’s something that has surprised you about Coonabarabran since moving here recently? I thought that it would be a quiet country town but there’s quite a bit that goes on. The people are friendly, they’re outgoing, they love to connect and hang out.

And there’s not much prejudice between people which is really good.

7. What song have you had on repeat lately? It’s an old hymn I’ve been trying to learn on guitar called Come Thou Fount. It was wr itten a few

hundred years ago and has a lot of history to it.

8. What are the most used emojis on your phone? Probably the love-heart eyes, or the smiley face. I also do the high-five one.

9. Have you read any good books lately? And you can’t say the Bible!

It’s B i b l e rel ated unfo r tunatel y!

In the Spirit and Power by Pavel Goia. It’s a memoir about his life growing up in Romania, and his struggles about keeping his values against government tyranny and Communism.

10. What’s the craziest haircut you’ve ever had? I let my hair grow long to my shoulders—I had to tie it up in a ponytail kind of thing.

11. If you could have anyone around for dinner (dead or alive) who would it be? My partner, Maria.

12. And what would you cook her?

Probably somethi ng exotic, l i ke veggie-filled sweet potato.

13. What’s your go-to snack? I love those veggie chips—Harvest Snaps.

14. What do you think is the key to living a good life? You should be good to your neighbour, care for them, look out for them.

15. What’s something you’re looking forward to? I look forward to owning my own place and getting married.

16. Who should we chat to next?

Rodney McCallum. He’s been around a while and he has a lot of wisdom to share about the town.

Baradine connection to WWII hero Ordinary Australians who became brave World War II warriors were the focus of a poignant tribute from guest speaker, Angela Catterns in Baradine on ANZAC Day.

by LIZ CUTTS Media personality and ABC broadcaster, Angela Catterns talked about the WWII link between her father, Major Basil Catterns, MC, and B a r ad i ne s e r v i c emen when she delivered her keynote address at the commemorative service held i n t he B a r ad i ne memorial hall on Tuesday, 25 April.

After serving with the Second AIF in the Middle East and North Africa, Major Catterns was sent to Papua New Guinea with the 2/1st Battalion where he saw action on the Kokoda Track winning a M i l it a r y C r oss a nd mentioned in despatches for acts of gallantry, which his battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Paul C u l len wa s move d t o declare ‘the bravest thing I’d ever seen a man do.’ “ Even though we’ve never met before, I know that many of us here today share a bond forged in the Second World War when ou r fathers, brothers, g r a nd f at her s , u ncle s , cousins and neighbours we nt o f f t o f i g ht , i n particular on the Kokoda Track,” Ms Catterns said.

“They called it the battle for Australia because it was right on our doorstep and if those brave men h ad n’t pr e v a i le d a nd given their all in the most horrific circumstances, so many sacrificing their own lives, Australia would look very different today.

“I have the great good for tune to have had a wonder f u l father who served as a soldier during World War II. His name was Basil Catterns. At the start of the war Basil was a cadet journalist.

He was barely out of his teens when he signed up for the Australian infantry forces after walking from h i s home i n B a l ma i n to Victoria Barracks in Paddington.

“Even now, that seems like an impossibly long walk to me, so I have real trouble imagining the mile upon mile of muddy path and mountainous jungle through which he and his fellow soldiers marched, trudged and sometimes crawled in Papua New Guinea.

Admired “When those of his 2/1st battalion comrades, who were still alive, came home from the Middle East by a quick stint of jungle warfare in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, they marched through the streets of Sydney and were admired for how great they looked with their Mediterranean style ta ns. T hen two weeks lat er, w ith the Japanese getting closer and closer to Australia’s

north, they were sent off to the mountainous jungles of Papua New Guinea and to the steep jungle road that we all know as the Kokoda track.

“It soon became clear that the desert fighting that they were used to was the complete opposite of fighting in the muddy, impossibly steep jungle of PNG. At one stage, when Dad was sent back t o Sydney, he went to Nock and Kirby’s, which was a huge hardware store in the centre of town a bit like Bunnings. There he bought fifty machetes and he took them back to PNG for what was now jungle fighting, so they could slash their way through the undergrowth. He kept one of the machetes in his study and we found it after he had died in a canvas cover with a short wooden handle, it was amazing to hold it and imagine what it had seen. But even more amazing was to read on a label engraved into the steel that it was made in Japan!

“Today I want to share an excerpt about the 2/1st battalion from historian, Paul Ham’s book Kokoda.

“A little way beyond S oputa on the road leading north, an enemy mountain gun blocked the forward Australian troops of the 16th Brigade. As he studied the position astride a horse he had bought for five pounds at the Kumusi River, a Japanse mortar narrowly missed Lieutenant Colonel Paul Cullen and f lung both man and horse into a ditch. Captain Basil Catterns, Cullen’s second in command, who was stand ing beside his superior was similarly thrown.

“Cullen raised his head ‘what do you think, Basil?’

‘There’s only one thing to do,’ Catterns said, ‘We’ve got to get that bloody gun.’

Volunteered “Catterns volunteered to lead the manoeuvre because, as he said later, ‘I knew it was my turn.’

“The two-day struggle that ensued showed with terrible clarity what was required to defeat the invader. Catterns’ action combined all the elements that made the infantry war in Papua New Guinea one of the most savage in military history.

“Catterns led a fighting patrol of 90 hand-picked t r o ops ( i nclud i n g t en pl at o on c om m a nder s) to silence the mountain gun. On 20 November, loade d w it h fo o d a nd ammunition they set off on a wide flanking march to the west. They moved all day through jungle and swamp. L ate that a f ter noon they sw ung east in accordance with

their compass calculations and came upon a wellused track that led to a watering hole.

At 6.00pm Catterns and Corporal Ralph Albanese crept forward to a clearing.

They had expected to find a large gun position but they had come too far and stumbled upon one of the main enemy camps, with troops huddled over fires cook i ng thei r even i ng meal in the midst of a group of huts. Through the trees were scores of Japanese troops milling about, eating, drinking.

Unknown to Catterns, there were 1200 Japanese troops in the wider area.

“He faced a difficult choice. He could withdraw and report the position.

Or he could attack. He was heavily outnumbered; his men had no signals and could not ca l l for rei n for cements. T hei r medical aid amounted t o one f ield d r e s s i n g and a stab of morphia per man. They might all die. Yet success held out the prospect of capturing the main track as wide a s a sm a l l r oad her e deep inside enemy lines.

Catterns consulted his men and they agreed. “ They moved up in a long line parallel with the track, five paces between each ma n. Catt er ns poi nted t o a la rge f ig tree to the right of the Japanese as a rendezvous point. Then they set off slowly through the scrub.

One soldier compared the adrenal charge with the feeling before the football kicked off at school. “ T r a i ne d i n j u n g le movement , they crept silently forward and drew up, unnoticed within a few yards of the Japanese.

Then they were seen. So great was the shock of their own fire bursting out on the clearing it was said, a few Australian soldiers fell to the ground.

And then they were up again. T hey smashed t h r oug h apr on fenc e s of vines. They hurdled networks of trenches. They were fighting like wild cats in the very midst of the surprised defenders, some of whom, rallying, manned gun pits and cut swathes through the attackers.

Stunned “The stunned Japanese died at their guns. Soon the huts were ablaze and grenades exploded. Those of the defenders who were able to do so ran into the bush.

“No two soldiers have the same memory of the battle. The Australians cleared the empty enemy foxholes and dugouts and planted their automatic weapons in a ring around a giant fig tree. Darkness came and the firing died.

The wounded were laid

between the buttress root of the tree. This was a gigantic tree and the root system formed cubicles which were ideal to place the wounded in. They dug a circular perimeter around the tree and prepared for the counterattack.

“Catterns’ men waited in the darkness. They could hear talking and shuffling in the undergrowth as the Japanese noisily encircled the Australians, most of whom were alive. Nothing could be done for the badly wounded who died during the night. “ C at t e r n s k e p t h i s head. He sca n ned the a rea for a brea kout route, a better shelter, anything to save his men.

Shortly he realised that their position straddled the main Japanese s i g n a l l i ne s b e t we e n the beachhead and the forward troops. ‘I saw a maze of heavy telephone cables running north and south, we were astride the line of communication of a massive defensive position to the south, so I ordered the cables to be cut.’ The action attracted f resh enemy troops concerned

by the breakdown. Their scouts started picking off the Australians in the darkness.

“At dawn the Japanese counterattacked with a withering mass of small arms fire.

“All day Catterns and his rapidly diminishing force held their positions until, as night fell, he got a message from a runner ‘Captain Catterns, Paul Cullen wants to see you.’

Catt er ns crawled out , eluded the Japanese and got back to the battalion HQ. ‘So, I find Paul in a tent, and he’s got a hot billy for me, which was wonderful, and I tell him all about it and he says; How do you feel, Basil? Do you think you could take back the relieving force?

That was an order and all I could say was, yes, Paul, I’ll take them back.’

It was midnight when he departed.

Remnants “They broke open a line to the tree where dozens had expired between the splintered remnants of the buttress roots, which were blown apart by the Jap a ne s e g u n s . T hey

rushed in ammunition, biscu its, t obac co, a nd medical supplies. Rain sheeted dow n i n the darkness split by lightning as the wounded were ferried out. Twelve stretcher cases emerged into the waiting care of field medics. The walking wounded came next.

Then the men withdrew.

Catterns was among the last out. He greeted his commanding officer with his usual high spirits.

“Out of the 91 troops who took part there were 57 casualties, 31 were k i l le d ( i nclud i ng f ive officers) and 26 were badly wounded. But Catterns’ attack cleared a passage to the enemy ’s coastal strongholds and captured a great deal of ground. The mountain gun that had held up the Australians was later found buried in the mud. “ S o, for h is pa r t i n that battle my father was awa rded the m i l it a r y cross, which I’m wearing today.

“He only really started ta l k i ng about K okoda in the last ten years of his life, when people like

Paul Ham started writing books about it. Finally, he was ready to relate what had happened and what he had seen and it explained to me why occasionally, at night, he’d wake up screaming.”

Basil Catterns’ connection to Baradine are the thirty-two district men who served in the 2/1st Battalion in various roles.

Six were in the battalion commanded by Major Basil Catterns and of those, two were killed in action at Buna-Gona while under his command.

T he B a rad i ne men who served include Allan Edwards (AIF KIA) and Arnold Bruce Martin (AIF K I A ); Ja mes O ’ Grady (A IF ); Charles Duncan ( M ac h i ner y P l at o on); Robert D Penny (Machine Gunner) and Ross Ruttley (AIF) survived the conflict.

“The rest of us cannot even imagine what that generation of servicemen and women went through; they were ordinar y Australians who became brave warriors,” concluded Ms Catterns.

“They are all heroes and today, we remember that.”

Angela Catterns gave the keynote address at the Baradine Anzac Day commemorative service.

Coonabarabran Public In the lead up to the end of term one, CPS was busy representing at a variety of social and spor ting challenges.

T he Dav id Pe achy Netball Challenge saw many girls from Years 5 and 6 participate in some very strong competition and an exhaustive and fun day of netball. We heartily tha n k M rs A l len a nd Mrs Mel Evans for their training and preparation of our teams.

The boys did not rest easy though, Mr Flynn took students from stages two and three and travelled to Coonamble on 30 March to take part in a rugby seven’s gala day.

We managed to muster together two teams, with plenty of players running on to the rugby paddock for the first time. Each team played well, achieving at least one win under their belt, having played some great rugby throughout the day against some very skilful opposition. Our stage two team did so well they snagged third place on the day.

M r F ly n n proud ly reported that all students were on the best behaviour th r oughout the d ay and showed wonderful sportsmanship, exemplified

Well done to all involved a nd we l o ok for wa r d

t o ho s t i n g t he Ter r y McGoldrick Cup later this year in Coonabarabran.

Time capsule The highlight for the end of term was surely the raising of the time capsule and the opening of the new multipurpose court cover. A fabulous day attended by many visitors and dignitaries who were past teachers and friends of the school.

ANZAC We commenced our term with the ANZAC march the to the clock tower. What a tribute it is to all our servicemen and women, past and present, to see so many proud and smiling facing acknowledging their respect.

At the school ANZAC s er v ic e ou r ver y ow n retu r ned ser v icema n Danny Rodgers addressed

Ex-serviceman, Danny Rodgers spoke at Coonabarabran Piublic School’s ANZAC service.

the school. Danny served as a sergeant in the Australian Army in East Timor, Iraq and Afghanistan. He paid tribute to all the veterans, particularly those who served in modern conflicts including Vietnam and Somalia; many of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice by g iv i n g t hei r l ive s including the 500 from Vietnam and the 41 soldiers who did not return from

Afghanistan.

Danny acknowledged that ma ny of these servicemen and women had been scarred and continue to struggle today with the things they saw and did. He thanked them on our behalf for their service and also to their families. In his words, “All gave some, and some gave all and some continue to give. Lest we forget.”

We are privileged and

pr oud t o h ave Da n ny and his family in our community, and we are eternally grateful for his contribution to our country.

Cross country T here was certainly some streng th and tenacity demonstrated by various students at the cross country on Friday.

As we were all bussed to the Coonabarabran Golf Club, who we thank for the

opportunity to run around the course, there was much chatter about the route and techniques needed to complete the two or three kilometre run.

T he r e we r e l o t s o f winners on the day and six students from each age group, beginning with eight-year-olds, will now compete at Coolah at zone level – we wish them all luck.

School leaders Bella Stanisforth, Tye Stewart, Jackson Player, Kupaar Gordon, Olive Moppett, Adele Ngyun and Dan Meyers at Coonabarabran’s ANZAC Day ceremony.

claims Lions Siarne Davis ranks Kearney Youth award with the best

Local boy Fred Kearney has won the prestigious Lions Australia Youth of the Year, the final held on the Gold Coast in April.

In April, local athlete Siarne Davis competed in the 2020 Australian Junior Athletics Championships in Brisbane, achieving some outstanding results.

by JIMMY WHALAN A n a n nua l nationa l competition, the Australian Junior Athletics Championships sees some of Australia’s best you ng ath letes compete, with the under 18 events being a qualifier f o r t h e 2 0 2 3 Yo u t h Commonwealth Games.

This year’s event took place at the Queensland Sport and Athletics Centre in Brisbane, Queensland.

Siarne competed in the Under 18 Women’s Discus, a long w ith 18 other competitors, and achieved an impressive 37.18-metre throw – a personal best for the season.

Sia r ne’s sk i l led throwing placed her 12th in Australia for the event, and seventh in Australia for her age group.

In this event, there were competitors of different ages who represent the very best for their ages, making Sia rne’s outcome an outstanding achievement.

Siarne said she was happy to have thrown a season personal best, but

was aiming to throw in the 40s, a distance she has been able to consistently achieve during training.

Proud of the opportunity to represent NSW, Siarne said she would love to someday represent

Australia in discus.

In the future, Siarne hopes to continue to do her best and go as far as she possibly can in the sport.

Siarne said the highlight of this year’s national championship

wa s me et i n g Oly mpic d i s c u s t h r ower, M at t Denny, who spoke with Siarne about his memories of competing at the same championships and wished Siarne luck in her event.

Castlereagh League gets underway CASTLEREAGH LEAGUE In what equates to a somewhat staggered start to the 2023 Castlereagh League season, a number of competition games were played in both the Youth League and League Tag competitions over the weekend, the majority of those being in Gilgandra on Sunday when six league-tag games were contested.

Cobar, Dunedoo and Narromine did enough at Gilgandra to suggest that they will be in the mix when it comes to semi-final time, all three handing in strong performances; although Coonamble certainly gave the Dunedoo Swannettes a run for their money before going down in what was one of the tighter games witnessed on the day Attention now turns to round one of the competition with some appetising first-grade games on offer.

After spending 2022 in limbo, the Coonabarabran Unicorns find themselves back on the paddock and at home to the Baradine Magpies in a local derby that should attract a huge crowd between these two arch rivals.

If past epic contests between the two near neighbours is anything to go by, this will be no place for the faint-hearted and a fierce battle is anticipated.

A little further south another local derby will be taking place, when the Binnaway Bombshells will play host to the Dunedoo Swans in a match that

will be a real test for both outfits. This will be especially so for the home side, which is making a comeback to first grade after several seasons.

That fact alone should ensure that “The Crater” is extremely well populated with spectators who will be eager to get some sort of gauge on their respective team’s prospects for the 2023 season.

In other games, the Gulgong Bull Terriers will be keen to start their centenary year with a bold showing against the Narromine Jets, while the visitors will be out to build on what was a very productive first year in the Castlereagh League competition in 2022 – and a tight match could well be on the cards.

Meanwhile, the Coonamble Bears will be out to impress their home crowd when they entertain the 2022 premiers, the Cobar Roosters, at Bear Park.

Gilgandra will have the bye.

Bryson Luff

After qualifying through regional competitions to the NSW finals, which he also won at Coffs Harbour last month, Fred faced off against five other young people from across the nation.

The competitors had to demonstrate leadership, sporting and community interests and excel in their academic achievement. Throughout the competition they were tested on their general knowledge and public speaking, both prepared and impromptu.

Fred has quite an impressive resume. Not only is he captain of rugby at The Armidale School (TAS), he is also captain of rowing and was part of the school’s top crew that came fourth in the state championships. He is also captain and member of the first debating team that came second in last year’s Australian national finals to Scotch College, Melbourne. On top of all this, he is also his year’s school captain at TAS. Fred is a talented rugby player, and has played junior rugby for the Coonabarabran Kookaburras, representing Central North in U12s, U13s and U14s while also winning a premiership

with the Unicorns’ 14s in 2020.

His rugby took off once arriving in Year 9 at TAS and last year as a 16 year old, he was selected in the Country U18s which defeated City for the first time in 17 years. He then went on to be selected for a U18’s Barbarian side to play in the Australian Schoolboys U18’s championship. This team went on to defeat Victoria, NSW 2 and Queensland 1 to make the final, eventually losing to NSW 1 in a tight game, 22-15.

Fred has just returned from a school rugby tour of New Zealand where they played, amongst other teams, Christchurch Boys High – which is always considered one of the strongest rugby schools in the world.

Fred has been invited to play in Canberra next year with the Uni/Norths Owls, which is a feeder club for the Brumbies. He hopes to study Economics Law at ANU. More noteworthy than this golden list of achievements, is Fred’s humble demeanour, quiet humility and gentle humour.

Shining through Fred, son of Vernon and

Pip Kearney of Yearinan, shone throughout the entire Lions Youth of the Year competition, bringing humour and wisdom beyond his years to his responses.

In his prepared speech – ‘Do tough times make tough people? – he spoke of the drought and its impact on his own community and that of regional Australia.

Fred acknowledged the hardship of the recent bushfires and floods and how that perhaps taught resilience and perseverance, rather than toughness. He highlighted the need of community and overcoming a fear of reaching out to friends and work colleagues in times of need.

As is Fred’s skill, he brought humour and laughter in explaining the many times he needed strength...to face another defeat as a supporter of the West Tigers, that have not won a premiership in his life time.

It was a wonderful finale speech in a competition filled with new friends and very worthwhile experiences. Well done Fred – your community is very proud of you.

Unicorns in action First grade rugby league action returns to Coonabarabran this weekend with round one of the Castlereagh League competition.

The Unicorns have been able to successfully field a team for 2023 after sitting out the competition last year in all grades due to a lack of players.

While the Unicorns are still battling an issue with player numbers - and as a result won’t field an under 18s or league tag side - the good news is the first grade team are expected to be a strong and competitive side.

Unicorns club president, Steve Walton, said there was a buzz around the club ahead of the season opener.

“We’re just super excited to be back playing

in Coonabarabran and having a crowd again,” Mr Walton said.

“There’s a lot of work that goes on behind-thescenes.

“A lot of people don’t see what the committee does and we’ve all been working hard to make sure Coonabarabran have a team this year.”

Coonabarabran will take on old rivals the Baradine Magpies, setting up a blockbuster in the first round of competition.

The side has received an early setback with previously announced captain/coach Dustin Crawley succumbing to an injury that will see him out for the entire season.

Mr Walton said it was a big loss not to have Crawley on the field, but he said the experienced campaigner will be able to concentrate on coaching and running the bench.

A l t h o u g h Coonabarabran have failed to field a league tag side there will be a game as a curtain raiser to the first grade match which will see the Baradine Magpies take on the Gilgandra Panthers giving spectators bang for their buck.

On Saturday, 6 May, the League Tag game will kick off at Coonabarabran’s number one oval at approximately 1.15pm, followed by the first grade match at 2.30pm.

RUGBY UNION Coonabarabran Kookas Rugby Union Club hosted t he C o ol a h R o o s l a st Friday night in what was to be a very physical and entertaining match.

T he Kookas began strongly w ith for wa rd rushes deep in Coolah t e r r i t o r y, h o w e v e r, Coolah’s strong defence held them out until Darcy Clifton was able to crash over for the first try. This was converted, leaving the score 7-0 in favour of the Kookas.

Coolah clawed thei r way back into the match following several penalties against the home side.

Strong defence from both s ide s kept t he m at c h scoreless until an intercept from a switch pass move saw the Coolah halfback score u nder the posts against the run of play, with the score now 7–7.

Coona struck back with a penalty to leave the halftime score 10–7.

I n t he s e c ond h a l f , Coona stepped up a gear with strong carries by the consistent Alex K night a nd s t a nd-i n s k ipp er Jed McEvoy. The backs capita l ised f rom the forward momentum with Sam Wilson scoring out wide. Try converted, 17–7.

A slick r un by Nick Willoughby and off-load to baby brother Harry,

playing in his first game i n ma ny yea r s , who outpaced the opposition to score under the posts.

This was a proud moment for father, Noel, who was watching on the sideline.

Try converted, 24–7 Coolah hit back strongly i n the for wa rds a nd eventually cracked Coona’s solid defence, 24–14.

Then it was all Coonabarabran from this point on, with tries to Sam Wilson, then our second debutante Jarrod Michael, who scooted 40 metres to score following a strong break by the powerhouse Tom Cleary. Also a proud moment for Dee a nd Randall, watching their two boys represent the

Kookas.

T he f i na l score was 34–14.

Despite the score, Coolah put up a mammoth fight and, to their credit, never gave up.

Overall, a solid performance by the home side, with a huge improvement in the line out. With a full contingent of 25 players and more to return, it’s shaping up to be positive season ahead, with strong competition for positions.

Points Sam Wilson – 3 points.

Alex Knight – 2 points.

Nick Willoughby, Lachy Stokie – 1 point.

Over the Odds CENTRAL & WESTERN RACING by COL HODGES Binnaway Races Saturday, 29 April Coonabarabran trainer G r aeme B r o oker a nd O ra nge -based jockey Chelsea Ings have combined for yet another feature race win with veteran galloper Plectrum, this time on Satu rday in the 13 0 0 metres Exchange Hotel &

Jack O’Brien Binnaway Cup. The now nine-year-old gelding, Plectrum came to the central west in late 2019 after two wins on north-coast tracks and has since won another six races for Graeme Brooker, with Chelsea Ings being the winning rider on five occasions including the Cups at Carinda, Walgett and Binnaway.

Plectr um t ook the early front running from Searchlight at Binnaway and that pair established a big lead over the rest of the seven-horse field.

St a r ti ng the $10 rank outsider, Plectrum maintained a good tempo to win by almost a length from Searchlight (Shayleigh Ingelse, $4.40), with another four lengths to third-placed Order Of Merit (Andrew Banks, $5).

“Plectrum is at his best when allowed to roll along

in front,” winning jockey Chelsea Ings explained.

James Rogers is now working full time for Kieren Hazelton and he won on Orreza for the Gilgandra trainer in the opening race at Binnaway, the 1000 metres Maiden Plate.

Breaking clear in the straight, Orreza won by nearly two lengths from Outback Pat (Hollie Hull, $8) and Sniper’s Byline (Shayleigh Ingelse, $3.50).

B i l ly C r ay i s l i ke James Rogers, formerly from England, and he won the following race on Jarmanag ic for Dubbo trainer Garry Lunn.

Ja rma nag ic ($2 .5 0 favourite) took the lead from Japingka halfway down the straight and won by a length from Grenado (Chelsea Hillier, $3.50) and Adviser (Kelsey Lenton, $3).

Bringing up a double for Garry Lunn, Weave That

Web (Shayleigh Ingelse, $1.90 fav) raced to a big early lead and kept going strongly to win the 1700 metres Benchmark 45 Handicap by over five lengths from Subuki (Jayden Barrie, $2.50) and Torrid Affair (Chelsea Ings, $6).

Flying Foxy (Shayleigh Ingelse, $4) travelled well in the lead, however, was overhauled and beaten three-quarters of a length

by Tandem ( R onald Simpson, $2 fav), with Starlink (Vad Bolozhinskyi, $4.40) coming from a long last for third in the 1200 metres Class 2 Handicap.

G e of f O ’ B r ien , who trains Tandem at Quirindi, was reared at Binnaway and recalls, as a 12-yearold, having his first ride on a racehorse one morning on the Binnaway track for the late Colin Easey, a long-time successful local trainer.

The 1300 metres Dennis

Frater Memorial Maiden Handicap was taken out by the Luke Pepper, Scone trained Mean Girls (Will Stanley, $3.80), which took the lead turning for home from Sensei Jacky then shot away to score by four lengths from Perseptina (Andrew Banks, $3.50) and Conversations (Chelsea Hillier, $3.80).

The Binnaway track hand led the almost constant rain exceptionally well and although only hosting racing once a year, Binnaway is one of the better tracks in the central west. xxxx Mar thag uy P icnic Cup at Quambone and the inaugural Queen Of The West feature race at Dubbo, on Saturday, 6 May, followed by the Gooree Cup at Mudgee on Sunday.

Expo entries close T he c om m it t e e a nd head stewards of the North West Equestrian Expo have been overwhelmed with the support for the 2023 event.

This year 500 riders with over 600 horses will compete in the largest high school equestrian event in Australia, right on our doorstep.

Expo secretary Rebecca Moxham said it became clea r th at they wou ld have to close entries prior to the advertised closing date. “ We h ave a lway s reserved the right to close entries early if numbers exceeded our quota and for the first time we closed prior to the advertised date.

“The support we have received from schools that have been attending Expo for many years and new schools has been frankly overwhelming.

“There are many riders who missed out on this year’s event and I am sure they will be the first to enter next year. “ W h i le m a ny

equestr ia n events a re s t r u g g l i n g t o at t r a c t r iders, Expo cer tain ly bucks the trend. I believe riders, schools and parents recognise that we run a well organised quality event with something for everyone in each discipline.”

T he C om m it t e e h a s also been grateful for the continued sponsorsh ip and support from local businesses.

L i s a M o o d y, the sponsorship representative f rom the committee said, “ We a r e for t u n at e i n Coonabarabran to have so many businesses who see the big picture in their support for the event. “ I don’t come across s p o n s o r s s ay i n g h o w much they make out of Expo but more how much Expo gives to our town and the Shire.”

Expo will run from Friday, 2 June until Tuesday, 6 June. Entry for spectators is free with plenty of events to watch each day.

Humour An expectant father was in the waiting room when the nurse told him he was the father of a baby boy.

He ran out to the pub and consumed a large amount of beer. He decided to ring the hospital to see how his family were going. He was informed, much to his surprise, that his wife had given birth to another baby, a girl.

He again consumed a large amount of beer. In an extra drunk state he decided to ring the hospital again.

He was so intoxicated he

rang the cricket board in error and asked how they were going. “ There are three out already and the last one was a duck.”

Binnaway defies weather gods for successful race meet It wasn’t the day the Binnaway Jockey Club was hoping for, but despite the downpour of rain all six races were able to run on Cup day, Saturday, 29 April.

by CHRIS WARD Being able to race at Binnaway was a relief to the committee, after last year’s meet was cancelled due to heavy rain.

The first race, the 10 0 0 -metre maiden plate, kicked off on time and was won by the Kieren Hazelton trained, Orreza.

While the rain wasn’t overly heavy, it was consistent enough all day to cause headaches for punters and jockeys alike.

Following the running of the first race, authorities made the call to bring all races for ward in time in a bid to run as many as possible before rain had a detrimental effect

on the track – a decision that paid off in the long run.

The second race, the 1100-metre benchmark 45 handicap was won

by Jarmanagic, trained by Garry Lunn and ridden by Billy Cray.

In race three, apprentice Ronald S i m p s o n s a l ute d o n t h e G e of f O’Brien trained Tandem.

Race four, the 1300-metre maiden handicap, the Luke Pepper trained Mean Girls, ridden by apprentice William Stanley, won convincingly by almost 4.5 lengths.

In the major race, local trainer Graeme Brooker got the win with Plectrum and Chelsea Ings steering.

The last race of the day was won

by the favourite, Weave that Web, trained by Garry Lunn and ridden

by Shayleigh Ingelse.

Despite the rain the track faired well, which made for some great but damp racing action.

Your North Western Guide to the Narrabri Show

Narrabri Show is sure to excite The Narrabri Show is gearing up to be an action-packed weekend, with plenty to see and do.

Gates open at 9am on Friday, May 5, and the action of the show runs across Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Narrabri Show Society vice president Bec Cope said the committee was excited with the array of entertainment and activities on offer.

“The Friday night show opening is going to be spectacular, with the official opening of the show and the Showgirl/Young Woman announcement,” she said.

“The rodeo action on Friday night starts early this year with a main performance from 6pm.

The thrills and spills of the rodeo continues after the formalities.

“Narrabri band West and Public will be performing people’s favourite hits once the rodeo action comes to an end on Friday night.”

But the fun doesn’t stop on Friday.

Ms Cope assures people there’s plenty to do across the weekend, including fireworks, reptile

displays, a performance by Rooftop Express and ending the Saturday night with a live music performance.

“If you’re interested in horses, we have a whole range of equine events such as show jumping on Saturday and dressage on Sunday morning,” she said.

“Or, if you prefer the agricultural side of the show, there’s stud cattle judging on Saturday, as well as a wood chop at about 1.30pm on the same day.”

Local creatives feature prominently as well, with a range of artistic sections and displays.

“I’d definitely recommend checking out the photography and art pavilions,” Ms Cope said.

“Be sure to see the stunning floral entries in the new horticulture pavilion.”

The show society is reminding people to use the Ugoa Street entrance to the show, with ample parking available.

Entrance via the Wukawa Street gate is typically reserved for show exhibitors and officials only.

booking fees.

Membership tickets are online this year, however, assistance with online booking is available from the secretary’s office.

At the gate, show-goers can present their tickets in electronic form or they can also bring along a printed version of their ticket.

People needing to visit the

show office can do so from Monday, May 1. The office will be open from 12pm to 5pm on Monday and Tuesday, 10am to 5pm on Wednesday, 9am to 5pm on Thursday and from 8am to 5pm on the first show day on Friday.

At the show weekend, it will be open 7am to 5pm on Saturday and 7am to 2pm on Sunday.

Spotlight will again shine on Young Woman competition participants As anticipation builds for the annual Narrabri Show, the spotlight will shine once again on the 2023 round of the Narrabri Young Woman competition (formerly known as Showgirl).

Georgie Haire - former 2019 Wee Waa Showgirl and joint showgirl coordinator for the Narrabri Show Society is thrilled to receive the next round of entrants, encouraging all young women of Narrabri to step forward and get involved in a life-changing experience.

“The Young Woman program is a great way for ladies aged between 14-25 to become more involved in the Narrabri Show Society, whilst learning new life skills and making new friends along the way,” said Ms Haire.

The 2022 recap for the Young Woman competition was a big one, with Senior Showgirl Samantha Coppin being selected as a state finalist in February and going on to represent Narrabri at the 2023 Sydney Royal Easter Show.

“This was a fantastic achievement and very exciting for Narrabri and is just one of the many amazing opportunities that can arise with the Young Woman program.

Ms Coppin’s remarkable achievement has certainly highlighted the excellent competition as Narrabri has sent three Young Women to the Sydney Royal Easter Show, including Ellen John in 2017, and April Squire in 2019.

“The 2022 Narrabri Young Woman competition had a very impressive group of young women put their hand up to support the Narrabri Show Society, whilst learning new life skills along the way,” said Ms Haire.

“Both junior and senior entrants displayed great community involvement, and all had great ambitions of what they would like to achieve over the next 5-10 years.

Last year’s Young Woman competition saw Denae Seymour as the winner of the Junior

Competition, with Grace Hardy being awarded runner-up, and for the Senior Young Women, winner Samantha Coppin, and Phoebe Schwager as runner-up.

Each year, the Young Woman program aims to find a young woman that is a great ambassador for their region, and local show society, as well as growing in competition to represent all NSW AgShows collectively.

Young women are judged on attributes such as poise, personality, speech, grooming, manners, presentation, general knowledge, and an interest in representing the show society and Narrabri region.

Entrants must have great knowledge of the Narrabri Shire, including our local attractions and community events, and be willing to share their passion with others.

The Young Woman entrants are judged on their general knowledge of what is happening at local, state, national and international

levels and judges also take community involvement, ambitions, goals, confidence and presentation into consideration.

In addition to an interview in front of a panel of three judges, the girls will also be asked onstage questions in front of a crowd at the Narrabri Show.

While Ms Haire discussed the importance of finding the right representative for the show, she was also passionate about the accumulation of skills that young women entering the program can carry into all walks of life, not just as rural ambassadors.

“I hope this will be a great opportunity for the 2023 Young Woman to make new friendships and become more involved with the Narrabri Show Society,” said Ms Haire.

“I also hope that girls entering the program walk away with increased confidence about public speaking and interviewing,” said Ms Haire.

The show society endeavours to

celebrate the Narrabri community, first and foremost, exhibiting the best in show that the region has to offer, from local produce, pets, cooking, arts and crafts, and many other talents.

“It is also a fun weekend for all ages to come together and enjoy many different forms of entertainment on display over the weekend,” said Ms Haire.

Young Woman Interviews commenced on Sunday, April 30 at the Tourist Hotel, to be followed with a closed cocktail event with onstage judging by Narrabri Show Society members at the showgrounds on Wednesday, May 3.

The 2023 Narrabri Senior and Junior Young Woman winners and runners-up will be announced at the show on Friday, May 5.

“All of the girls will be walking around the Show over the weekend so please go up to them and say hello and ask them all about the Young Woman program,” said Ms Haire.

Quality on show as photography section sees sharp increase The photography section of the Moree Show is booming, with this year seeing a significant rise in entries.

This year, 472 entries were submitted, 100 more than last year’s show.

Photography steward Joy Holmes said it was the most photographs entered into to the show for a long time, particularly after rules were changed to allow only two entries per class, per person.

“This is the most we’ve had since the change,” she said.

“The quality is very good.”

More boards were added to the pavilion, and Mrs Holmes was relieved with the additions given the growing number of entries.

Mrs Holmes has enjoyed her involvement with the photography section across more than 20 years.

“I enjoy it. I love photography,” she said.

Fiona Lysaught, of Moree, received a pleasant surprise when

small minority of community members continue to commit “appalling on-going crimes around town”.

“This is not just a police problem, this is not just a council problem, this is a whole community problem, such acts of violence have no place in our town,” he said.

“I urge our community if anyone has any information that may aid police in their investigation, please come forward”.

Cr Johnson said council is heavily involved in ongoing advocacy and coordination of community safety programs and works closely with various agencies and crime safety representations across the shire.

“Council takes the safety of employees and property, and that of the broader community seriously, and will continue to assist local police on this matter,” he said.

Cr Johnson said council will advise the community of any changes to service or operational hours of the MAAC resulting from the incident.

More to Moree this May Come Mother’s Day weekend in May the rural community of Moree will dazzle, showcasing the impressive depth of its unique culture.

The highlight of the weekend is the Moree on a Plate Food and Wine Festival, to be held Saturday, May 13, and, in conjunction with Tourism Moree, visitors from across the region are invited to take the road less travelled for a weekend immersed in the community spirit of rural Australia.

Now in its 19th year, Moree on a Plate is a destination event attracting foodies and artisan producers from across NSW and Queensland.

An affordable gold coin donation entry ensures the festival is an event the whole family can enjoy, with Celebrity Chef Christine Manfield providing cooking demonstrations, a dedicated Kids Korner for the little ones, and a full day of live entertainment setting the vibrant atmosphere.

A rural hub with a penchant for fun, the festival is just one of the opportunities visitors have to enjoy Moree’s hospitality over the Mother’s Day weekend.

The fun kicks off on Thursday, May 11 at The Moree Gallery, which hosts a very special group show entitled ‘A Day to be Remembered’, featuring artists Sarah Bishop, Jule Coyle, Margaret Dix, Ann Gordon, Sally Falkiner, Kate Hopkinson-Pointer, Jamila Hume, Matt James and Greta Laundy.

A Day to be Remembered brings together this significant group of diverse but significant Australian emerging artists, all reflecting on a day or moment in

their immediate world or in their travels – each capturing a moment, then brought to life through their paintings.

The exhibition opens at 10am, with drinks and an opening on the Thursday evening – open to the public.

Local Indigenous art gallery, Yaama Ganu also has a very exciting addition for the weekend, with leading Walpiri Artists - Karen Napaljarri Barnes and Julie Nangala Robertson – visiting Moree for the opening of the Group Show from Central Desert Art Centre Warlukurlangu on Friday evening at 6pm. This exhibition is free of charge and open to the public.

Come Friday morning, the artists will also be conducting a very special painting workshop at the gallery, with spaces very limited.

Gallery manager Toby Osmond said the visit from the women was a huge coup for the gallery, and the community.

“Karen is easily one of the most in demand artists working in today’s contemporary Aboriginal Art space, and Julie is the daughter of pioneering Central Desert Artist Dorothy Napangardi and we are very excited to welcome them to Moree.”

Friday evening will also include drinks and nibbles at Moree’s charming Town and Country Club, where visitors can relax on the homestead veranda and take in the atmosphere.

For a fascinating insight into traditional indigenous culture, join native grains specialist Kerrie Saunders on one of her YinarrMa Bush Tucker Tours. Kerrie is

a proud Gomeroi woman and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to using the land for food, and what everyday plants have sustained humanity for centuries.

Visitors also have the opportunity to soak up the up Moree – literally – relaxing in the unique artesian waters upon which the town was built. The local mineral rich hot pools offer a wealth of health and wellbeing benefits and are a must whilst in the region.

One of Australia’s richest agricultural regions, tourists can visit producers on-farm for a first-hand insight into the production of pecans and cotton, with local farm tours complementing the festival.

For golf enthusiasts, and those with a little more time to spare, Moree’s golf course is the envy of many communities, enjoying a pristine green fairway latticed across the meandering Mehi River.

Moree on a Plate will be held on Saturday, May 13 from 10am to 4pm, and features a full schedule of entertainment, all for a gold coin donation entry fee, and the fun needn’t end then.

Come Mother’s Day on Sunday Moree’s iconic art gallery BAMM will host a very special, and limited, Air Dry Clay Ceramic Workshop with Iranian Australian Artist Morjgan Habibi.

to celebrating, and sharing this enthusiasm with visitors from across Australia. For more information on Moree on a Plate, see

Magnificent Anzac mural unveiled MOREE The magnificent Anzac mural on Balo Street was officially unveiled to the Moree community on Anzac Day. The concept and delivery of this artwork is attributed to several individuals and organisations who have worked together with the artist, Tim Bowtell, to produce historical accuracy depicting a variety of period uniforms, kit, weaponry and battle conditions.

Moree Plains Shire mayor Mark Johnson introduced Julia Waters, who came to Moree to honour her late father, Warrant Officer Leonard Victor Waters, who is depicted in the mural.

Fondly known as Jules, she spoke about her father’s legacy and his recognition for his military service to Australia from August 1942 to January 1946.

Born in 1924 on the Euraba Aboriginal Mission, Leonard Waters was the fourth of Donald and Grace Waters’ eleven children.

Len, as he was known, developed a fascination with aviation from a young age, listening with admiration to news of the exploits of Charles Kingsford-Smith and Amy Johnson.

Waters left school before his 14th birthday to help his family, working as a shearer before volunteering for service in the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) in 1942.

Desperate for manpower to support the air war in Europe and the Pacific, the RAAF’s rules regarding Indigenous Australian enlistment were far less restrictive than those for the Second Australian Imperial Force.

Waters was initially trained as an aircraft mechanic but dreamed of becoming a pilot like his childhood heroes. Len studied at night before sitting for the pilot’s test as he really wanted to excel in this test. His application was accepted in 1943 and he undertook training across New South Wales before graduating as a pilot in 1944.

Later that year Waters was posted to No. 78 Squadron, which was stationed on the island of Noemfoor off Dutch New Guinea. He flew 95 sorties from here over the next year and later flew from air bases

in Borneo. On one flight his aircraft was struck by a Japanese 37-millimetre cannon shell, which wedged between the fuselage and Len’s seat without detonating. Waters flew for another two hours before landing safely with the shell still intact. The image of Len in the mural from a photo taken after safely landing with the bomb.

At the end of the war, Waters was discharged from the RAAF as a Warrant Officer. He returned to Queensland and never flew again.

He hoped to start a regional airline but was unable to secure financial or government support, and soon returned to his pre-war life of shearing to provide for his wife and six children. He died on August 24, 1993, aged 69, it was his 51st anniversary of having joined the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF).

In 2019, Jules privately published ‘I’m Just a Fly Boy’ her father’s journal plus his official logbook to promote his legacy across Australia and overseas.

When Jules was reviewing her dad’s journal before it was published, she realised that her father wanted to continue to fly but the society of the late 1940s through to the 1960s wanted to keep an Aboriginal man as a manual labourer

The Anzac mural adorns part of the Harvey Norman building on Balo Street, opposite the Moree War Memorial Hall. Photos: Moree Plains Shire Council and not to strive for the heights of a pilot.

Jules donated copies of her father’s journal to the Moree Community Library and the Moree RSL. The Anzac mural is a tribute to all past and present service personnel.

Defence personnel depicted from left to right are: Trooper William Henry Rankin was one of the first Light Horsemen to die of wounds on the Gallipoli battlefields in May 1915.

Captain Thi Tjanh Tam Tran, an army medical officer deployed to Northern Iraq as part of the Australian Humanitarian relief mission.

Sergeant Peter Buckney deployed to South Vietnam with the 8th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment.

Lieutenant Thomas Harold Bissett served and died on the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea in 1942.

Sergeant Leonard Victor Waters was a fighter pilot in the Royal Australian Air Force.

Petty Officer Aircrewman Leeann Mumby of the Royal Australian Navy has served as both a Combat Systems Officer on HMA ships and later as an Aircrewman on helicopters.

In a statement, council said the concept can be attributed to Chamber of Commerce president Dibs Cush and would not be possible without the efforts of the Moree RSL sub-Branch, working with the Australian War Memorial Archives and Department of Defence to gather the necessary information and images.
